bro apologized and said he’d do better and call shit out next time and ppl are still complaining about it like i’m pretty sure most of dttwt only likes dnf now and act like they like sapnap just bc dream said dteam is a package deal
#i think it’s ok to not like someone like i am not saying they have to like him especially cause rn they’re not really doing content together#but i feel like they feel pressured to still like him bc of dream#i swear they complain about absolutely everything he does they bring up the kick thing at least once a week move onnnnn#like yeah he should have said something especially after he said he wanted to bring change to kick but i mean. it’s a gaming issue not a#platform issue. like the exact same thing could have happened on twitch. AND IT HAPPENS !!!!#so tired of twt also no one cares about those long ass statements about him btw#discourse#*

reading the...... Preview....... My notes....... Heheheheh
We got a timeskip. By a little.. I see Bristleclaw (aka formerly Bristlepaw) as a warrior let's see about the siblings + if the wretched nightsun spawn are born. Also if Graypaw's not named Grayspots I'm slamming my keyboard (I'm on the phone)
Wafflepelt. I forgot Wafflepaw was a thing sdjjjgds imagine getting ur cat to win a contest to star in canon warrior cat and its got the -pelt suffix. Cheated and spat on
Stemtail and Graywhisker.... I guess Graywhisker's fineeeeee but come on he has spots. He's got spots.......
Nightsun babies are here. Named Goldenkit (golden tabby tom) and Shinekit (black molly). Hi kids I'm so sorry your dad is literally Nightheart
Oh wait Myrtlebloom also got a litter?????? Is this where Shyfrost's gonna come from.. Kits are Oakkit (pale brown tabby molly with white spots), Sunkit (orange tabby tom, is it after Sunbeam??) and Hazelkit (tortie molly with white spots). No Shyfrost in sight. Keep on looking
ThunderClan baby boom
This will affect the family tree.
Anyway checking out all the other adult names of the ASC kits lol. ShadowClan first
Oh they got: Birchfeather (Dovewing and Tigerstar kit which means I automatically like him), Bloompetal, Firbark, Whisperbreeze, Streamripple. I actually like those?? Firbark and Streamripple especially. Good job Tigerstar let me kiss you directly on thr lips
Who the hell are Redpaw and Sprucepaw huh... New spawn.... Also oh no I see Lightleap gave birth god forbid a single even a little prominent female character not get pregnant. The Curse has finally affected my girl. It was inevitable. I should have prepared
Lightleap spawn is Quickkit (ginger tabby tom), Beehckit (pale brown tom, haha typo the writers made a typo everyone point and laugh), and Poolkit (white molly). The cat genetics nerd inside me in crying and writhing in pain rn
SkyClan section. Fuck you Tree I hate Tree stupid stupid cat
Beetleshine for Beetlepaw... Good name good name but I already named an OC that earlier so I am not impressed. I was first. Beepaw is uhhh where thebhell is Beepaw. Oh they're Beesting. Actual good names I am satisfied with your work. Moving on
Duskshine and Ridgeglow also good however come on you already used -shine in the same generation come onnnn.......
Ok Who's pregnant. Was anyone pregnant
Needleclaw was.... Her kids are Robinkit (reddish-brown molly) and Starlingkit (black and white tom) Woohoo Starling prefix win. Also by any chance is the father Kitescratch. Just wondering
FINALLY. Sparrow and Cherry retired
WindClan timeeeee
Leafcurl yay. Nice girl nice name 9/10. Her less cooler siblings got Grassfur and Branchleap. Clearly there's a superior sister
Silkypaw and Fluffpaw??? Huhhhhh?? Who are they..... Also thanks for getting creative for once your efforts have been recognized by the great Yomi
Kicking my feet going hehehe at warrior cat website book preview. This is where I was supposed to be all this time. I found my calling
Stripeheart and Brookripple are also here. I revoke my praise of the authors getting creative come onnnnn you literally JUST named Streamripple I. I'm gonna make them kiss. Bond over being literal clones
Guys this is big. This is huge. Breezepelt is a grandpa now. I am going to shed tears
Appleshine's kits (Breeze grandkids) are: Rustlekit (white tom with a brown tail) and Stretchkit (brown tabby molly with white face markings). Giving the authors their creativity praise back. Do not dissapoint me again
WAIT NIGHTCLOUD RETIRED. o7
Still not over with how Owlnose is a deputy now for some reason. Didn't his entire small character arc a few books back center wholly around with how he should not be a leader. They literally only picked him because they killed off literally every other RiverClan character with a personality and he was the only fuckijg option because he's the only cat who got actually developed even if it makes no sense I. I'm. I hope he spontaneously combusts
Also I will prevent myself from going off on Podlight getting off scot free for his atrocities while. I will prevent myself I do not deserve this headache
Anywayyyy Splash siblings are adults now named Troutshine (WHAT'S WITH THE SHINES), Rapidsplash and Floatshimmer (who's also with kits now? you sure you aint too young..)
wait a moment. I just realized something about the timeline. Wait was Sunbeam already- yeah she was pregnant in like. Wait hold on does this make sense. If it doesn't then the timeline is broken if it does I'm just rightfully worried,
Anyway guess Hollowspring and Sparrowtail joined RiverClan? I thiiiiink it was mentioned in Star. Or not.
Amyway Floatshimmer kids are Heronkit (silver molly) and Eelkit (black tom)
Phew... That's the allegiances section. Holy fuck. That's a lot of cats. Kitten season
On to the actual chapters now lmao
Prologue:
Oh hii Leafpool is that Skystar GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HERRRR LEAVE HER ALONEEEEEEE DO NOT TALK TO HER. HE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED AROUND WOMEN THIS IS FUCKING TERRIFYING GET AWAYYYYYYY
"The Clans were unstable in my time, and if you ask me, they’re just as bad now.” Skystar. Skystar back in your times the Clans weren't unstable they were a tragic disaster that brutally murdered every single woman that came in contact with it. Also shut up get this man away from Leafpool
Why is Skystar here even. Get him out
Also. The writing here is so goofy can we get to Moonpaw already
Oh wait another journey?? Actually this is fine I hate the Lake territories. Change location NOW
Chapter 1
Why's Tawnypelt such a hater. What did Bloompetal do to you she's literally just frolicking she's just a girl
Why is she. Genuinely So mean to everyone.
Which don't get me wrong is not inherently Bad if this was any other media I love mean mean women however this is warriors. I don't remember the last time a wc character was genuinely just kind and nice to people, every single cat is just written interacting in such a mean-spirited way and them just being casually cruel to each other is supposed to be charming somehow, like everyone's an asshole already we don't need more. And also Tawnypelt is a Female Warriors Character™ which means that if this keeps up she'll definitely get disproportionately "punished" for it in some way later and. I'm just praying that Moonpaw is a ray of goddamn sunshine when we get to her please I can't do this anymore
Is. Is the entire chapter gonna be her being unreasonable and snapping at everyone younger. Is. Is
I actually genuinely do not understand her problem. Like I get she's sad I get it but. Was she deliberately written as making problems out of nowhere, or did the writers shart once again.
(don't mind me I'm just paranoid... I've been hurt by warrior cats before...)
Hehe Poolkit- oh wait that was it. That was the chapter. I mean its fine actually
Chapter 2:
Leafstar time. I don't like her but I will now mindwipe all my opinions I've had on her character to have somewhat of a good time now. Maybe she gets better!!
Praying they are gonna be normal about Leafstar's vision loss. Please warrior cats
I was correct lmao Kitescratch was the father
Mystery Sickness
Mystery Sickness epidemic plot!!! I got no idea what the hell these symptoms are supposed to be but. Ok❤️yay
There is people being loud at my house
Can be Mystery Sickness pleaseeeeeeeee spread to ThunderClan too. Can we have ThunderClan population culling this arc pleaseeeee
Anyway get out my way grandma it's MOONPAW TIME
Chapter 3
Baby.
Oh god another medcat apprentice that doesn't want to be a medcat. Can we stop.
Also idk about how they just took a look at Moonpaw (who's also a child) looking different (aka. having chimerism) and went "we're now gonna force you into a lifetime of celibacy" it's just. So weird to me I hope Moonpaw kills everyone especially her parents
Moonkit. Moonkit I'm speaking directly to you now you have to start killing
Oh fuck she's got that voice inside her head. Please writers I am praying for you to be normal. If this is her vengeful dead fetus sibling she absorbed in the womb that people have been theorizing I am also going to kill everyone. If this is also an Evil Plural plot I will get your spirits too
Oh no. Oh fuck. Chat I think it's. Oh no. Chat I think they're. Doing just that.
Oh fuck. Oh no. *sighs painfully* *cocks gun*
Thanks Jayfeather and everyone else in that den for being normal about Moonpaw and clearing up the fact that it's just her parents that are being Really Weird
I like. Moonpaw. I'm also taking her and her voice away from the warrior cat writers she is mine now get away from her
Yep that finally confirms it she's being deliberately written as plural
Unnamed Moonpaw Voice you're so silly. If you're evil later for some reason I will take your side
Unnamed Moonpaw Voice got a reflection-
Oh fucj is that. They're really. Is that really the spirit of her dead fetus sibling she absorbed in womb oh god oh fuck
VERDICT: I am officially taking Moonpaw away from the writers that's it. She is mine now get away from her what are you doing why am I actually somewhat affected by this

KER!!!!
Hi Ker. Its me, again. Don’t you worry about accidentally deleting my ask I did read your fic also at like… 3am LOL. I’m going to bullet point what I asked before I forget so sorry if this feels a bit rushed and kind of rude
- say don’t go (taylor swift reference? If it is I SEE YOU SWIFTIE! (Maybe swiftie? Idk if ur a swiftie but i see the ref regardless)
- this was me begging for a part 2 if you’re down to write a part 2 because i desperately wanted to know what happens next
- i was also wondering if what you did was perhaps intentional, though. The angst leaving us all on a cliffhanger. Did you leave it open ended on purpose?
- because in that case i get it but still humbly request a part 2… on my knees
- does she wake up and survive the surgery? Where do they go from there if she does?
- does she NOT survive the surgery? Where does Spencer go from there??
- but once again i don’t want you to feel pressured by any means to write a part 2. If it comes to you it comes to you, if it doesn’t that’s ok! You already gained a new fan of your writing and your work 💕
- oh i also wanted to tell u idk if i said this in my comment but I LEGIT THOUGHT that when she was standing in the doorway and he was standing there in his suit and tie that she bought him- THAT SHE DIED AND WAS A GHOST. LIKE STRAIGHT UP. I WAS LIKE DAMN SHE DEAD? But she wasn’t dead- her heart was just broken and crumpled up on the floor and what lay in the space between them
Anyway I think I’m rambling again. These aren’t really bullet notes 🤣
OK BYE YOU’LL BE SEEING ME IN YOUR COMMENTS REAL SOON 🫡😗
OMG you are such an angel for doing this😭😭😭 and don't worry, it's not rude at all!
First and foremost, yes! I am a swifitie🫶 The entire fic is written while I had the song on repeat and specifically based on these two lines:
And I'm yours, but you're not mine I said, "I love you." You say nothin' back
So, if you want to reread it while listening to the song, it might make the angst angstier (? is that even a word lol)
Now, my favorite part of your ask. I did, in fact, leave it open-ended because I love to leave readers asking themselves what they want the ending to be. One thing I want my readers to know is that I will always leave things on a cliffhanger or open-ended because I myself cannot decide what I want. The reader recovering from the surgery does not mean things will go well with them and Spencer. So, it really is up to everyone whether they want her to go or to stay. I got a request to make a part 2 where the reader dies. It was a pleasant ask (and very tempting, tbh), but I left it for everyone's own interpretation. And I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on that.
But of course, sometimes I do fold and write part 2s and more if I feel like it. Although, I love most of my fics as a stand-alone. Anyway, this might be a bit of an advertisement, but I'll be posting some unfinished drafts that are open-ended because I'm too indecisive. It would really be amazing if I get replies that tell me what they think happened and will happen. I already posted one called Execution Style somewhere around my blog. It's vague. And too short. So might not be as great.
Moving onnnnn lol
The ghost part had me chuckling when I woke up so I truly appreciate you sending the ask again. I kind of wanted the story to seem like it's going back and forth from one scene to another. It's a bit difficult to portray, so I understand why you thought she was a ghost😂😂😂
I officially welcome you to my crazy department and hope that you enjoy your stay
— love lots x

episode 209 spoilers below
I'm so late today but here it is
I love EJ, he's finally learning to be happy. I'm so proud.
Ms Jenn = every boomer during zoom calls, like jeez yes we can hear you stop shouting at me.
LOVE THE SUBTLE JOKE ABOUT QUARANTINE "these dark times" "you mean spring break?"
ah yes, remember when we thought covid was just gonna give us a longer spring break? good times
SEBLOS
damn the passive aggressiveness from Carlos and the absolutely over it tone from seb✋
CASWELL COUSINS!!!!! THEY'RE THE BEST!!!!
we needed more if this kind of goofiness for the first part of season 2 that only such an iconic duo can provide.
old old movies-
is it even that old, or is Nini being a gen alpha rn-
i choose to imagine EJ being scared of the movie and hiding in Ashlyn's shoulder while she keeps a straight face and then EJ pretending to be tough afterwards
aww redlyn are soulmates.... yknow, if gingers had souls
(please ignore me)
y'all saw how EJ's face *lit up* when Gina logged on? how dare you tell me he doesn't like her
ofc she's no damsel in distress, she's Gina porter, she's amazing.
so do we think she'd be the type to just glare at suspicious people? or bark at them
do they not know that Rini broke up? or is Ms Jenn just wanting Nini to suffer through her heartbreak to make her a better actress....
speaking of, why is Nini in the call? she's not in the show anymore. Unless she is, even after the rose and the song got cut, which would be so unfair to all those that auditioned properly before she even came back but whatever, she's the main character I get it 🙄
big red is a hero honestly, Nini better thank him for changing the subject like that
I can't-
i won't work you over the break-
this woman would 100% work her kids 24/7 if it was legal and idk how to feel about it.
YES GINA USE THAT CHARM
QUEEN
FRENCH QUEEN
SHE LEARNT FROM THE BEST (antoine obvi)
smh the airport lady, eavesdropping on Gina's call.
The way she was so happy to answer EJ's call, "eej"
I love them your honour.
EJ WITH PAINTED NAILS YES PLEASE
great now we need to see Gina, Ashlyn and EJ having a complete spa day and EJ getting really into it and Gina and Ashlyn take pictures of him when he's laying down in a robe with a mask and cucumbers on his eyes.
finally we get to see Gina's side of portwell
the way she considered it as flirting, this is the sign she asked for in episode 6 come onnnnn
no is Asher/jack really doing tiktok dances in an airport-
Ricky is me. I am burrito.
oh Lynne, sweetie, I'm sorry but the blonde hair is not it
is that even the same lady or-
THE BEAN
THE CHICAGO BEAN
THE BIG OLD METAL BEAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY 😭
jetlag is my go to excuse for anything... I haven't travelled in 2 years.
"welcome to the Lynne and Mike gossip show. where we talk about our depressed son that we both neglect in certain ways! And now a word from our sponsor, Nord VPN..."
SO MANY CANDLES
WHAT DEMON IS LYNNE TRYING TO SUMMON IN HIS ROOM-
is Nina becoming social media obsessed EJ from season 1? AND SHE LIED ABOUT HAVING SONGS TOO PLEASE WHY ARW THEY RECYCLING THE SAME PLOT-
Gina smiling at the picture of her family on Instagram makes me so happy, idek why.
EJ's nails are so pretty, we needed to see it more (unless he had it on for the rest of the episode and I just.... didn't notice🧍🏽♀️)
oh not the tiktok kid✋
yes ma'am end this strange mans whole tiktok career
sir take a hint and leave
GINA NO DONT SAY YOUR LAST NAME HE COULD BE A HUMAN TRAFFICKER
Ricky, walking in style✨
weird kid, ok then Lynne, can't you see he's this close to the edge?
not all your fault baby Ricky, Nini sucks a bit more
RICKY YOU DIDN'T COME DOWN HARD ON THE SONG-
YOU ASKED WHAT IT WAS ABOUT AND SHE SHUT YOU DOWN-
PLEASE DO NOT BLAME YOURSELF
ok but the deleting comment thing was very bad
still don't know if I like Jack honestly
hmmm so Nini's calling herself Nini instead of Nina in her little egg seat, while trying to write a song without inspiration.... Nini, honey, Ricky was your muse, he inspired you to write all those songs, even if it wasn't good for the relationship.
that doesn't mean you gotta get back with him, or that you can't write a song that not about him butttt it'll take some time
the rainbow sticker in her box and her rainbow shirt-
anyways wbk she's not totally straight
Jack are you a criminal?
quick, Gina, check his ankle for a tracker
THE YES AND PRACTICE STRIKES AGAIN
the way Gina wasn't into it in episode 6 but she's used the technique twice now
stole her grandma's Pomeranian-
Jack where the hell did you pull that out from-
the fake crying killed me, that looks like so much fun though
anyone wanna raid a first class lounge with me?
wait so is jack not gonna go in with her?
wouldn't he go in too? help look for the credit card? SO CONFUSED
the first class lounge guy was so into the drama though, watch his face when they start arguing 😭
sorry to break this to you Kourtney, but you haven't even blocked the second act yet soooo...
take that as you will
I love how all of them are totally dissing the dance off
that's the most realistic part of this show tbh
shouldn't Nini have asked how she knew....since the start? why is the fact that her best friend has knowledge of a North high secret now dawning on her...
Howie is sweet honestly, at least he's trying to help. but I stand with Kourtney, don't take him back just because he sang an amazing song, and is giving you a heads up on what's gonna happen...
KOURTNEY IS ME TRYING TO LEAVE AN ONLINE CLASS
I hate school
ooo Nini's writing a song about bad internet connection 🤩🤩🤩
I never lie, except when I do-
son that is the creepiest thing you could say to a stranger that you've been "helping"
2 truths and a lie👀
he's an Ariana fan 100%
called it.
OLDER BROTHER-
WHAT-
free spirit? damn so brother porter was in that horse movie
so has she been kissed or not?????????
I feel like she's moved more than 15 times though so possibly
but then if she's moved so much, and before east high she never opened up to anyone, she's never been kissed then?? damn
same though Gina so let's be besties please
heartbreak president is a great song title idea, give Nini a call rn
but wait
is the no strings attached feeling thing about her telling Ricky she liked him? she thought she was moving away so she thought it'd be no strings attached???
guys I think I figured it out insert the "I've connected two dots" meme
THE DUKE SWEATSHIRT
IS THAT YOUR BOYFRIEND'S
OMG I LOVE I LOVE
NOT THAT I KNOW OF???
ma'am did you just kill me
yes you did
Lynne and Ricky have such a weird relationship
YES IT DID SUCK
TODD SUCKS
LYNNE SUCKS
yeah I get that you wanted Ricky to like Todd BUT THAT WASN'T THE TIME
right so we already know that Ricky was so desperate to keep Nini cuz he didn't want to be like his parents, and now Lynne's talking about this-
Richard needs a long hug
yes Lynne, it is your fault. thank you for finally admitting it.
YES DYE YOUR HAIR
BLOND HIGHLIGHTS RICKY WILL RISE AGAIN
"sometimes the best, last thing you can do for someone you love, is let them go."
gotta admit I teared up at that point
not me thinking big red was calling ms Jenn cupcake for a hot second-
Carlos please omg, you're at the "beach" and they're leaving for the pool?
also, why not just do the call from the hotel room please omg
"don't ask me"
"Carlos"
OMG WHAT HAPPENED
big red wants the tea
O M G
SEB IS JEALOUS
JEALOUS SEBBY IS MY FAVOURITE THING IDC
I'm surprised ms Jenn knew how to give Nini permission to screenshare tbh
So lily's been stalking the East high kids and spending time editing this video while she's supposedly in an immersion trip.... right
EJ and Ashlyn's picture is so chaotic, what even is happening there
"slacking off" bestie its spring break, obviously they're confident enough that they'll get it done in time so why not focus on your own musical.
jealous seb = sassy seb
please what if those guys Carlos is posing with are his cousins or something and that's why he's so confused about Seb
6 YEAR OLD EJ I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM
Nini saying she's obsessed with her ex, that's not weird at all 👍
I can just tell Matt had a blast harassing Julia with those puppets.
Jack please dont be like that, "yet"
chances are you'll never see eachother again 🥰
(honestly sometimes I really miss those friends I made on trips and stuff when we'd spend the day or week together, only to never see them again....those were the good days though)
Ashlyn and Nini should write more songs..... something better than this one at least
Nini: "im good"
cue the Tia Mowry (please I can't spell) crying gif
oh I forgot Ricky was in the show for a hot second
1. where did Gina get to film this without people being around
2. did she just... randomly change her clothes???
ok but the transition between Carlos and EJ
*chefs kiss*
now everyone shut up, EJ's singing
oh i think I'm pregnant
HIS MUSCLES
YES KOURTNEY
I love how big red and Kourtney went from being "the best friends™" to the couple in season 1, to kinda close themselves and having their own plots
sebby makes me so happy
props to biggies editing skills honestly
PORTWELL BEING SIDE TO SIDE I CANT
AND SEBLOS OMG
big red lives for the drama
"wow" so true Ricky
no he is not cute, stop it
"holding" ok that's kinda cute
yeah EJ's a lucky guy😌
jokes aside, it's not that hard to exchange numbers-
keep in touch if you want
ok I really like Jack now
if he comes back in season 3, maybe have him be LGBTQ+ ?
like the only out characters they have rn are Seb and Carlos and they're like the sterotypes, yk?
I'd love to see jack kinda break the mold
Ricky's breaking my heart
that song just hurts
the only thing
now I don't hate Lynne????????
HOW DARE THEY WRITE IN A PROPER REDEMPTION ARC FOR HER
UGH IM SUPPOSED TO HATE HER FOREVER
I mean I don't live her now but she's good
but honestly
"mom can I show you something"
IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL
THE PICTURE AND EVERYTHING OMG
I'm sobbing please help
Gina saying she's just waiting for the right guy and then EJ coming to the airport to pick her up late at night without her asking, offering to bring her back in the morning so she won't have to Uber, bringing her a granola bar (WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT SHE FORGOT TO PACK) and without expecting anything in return???
ms ma'am you've got a keeper right there
her smile at the end was so heartwarming I really can't.
this episode was great.
it felt really short but I liked it, great character development for Ricky, Lynne and Gina.
Cant wait for next episode to see more of EJ being the ideal boyfriend /hj

Top 10 fandoms go
Hmm, rating fandoms as a whole can be difficult, since ppl usu think of bad things first when they think of things memorable that have happened in fandom, and I'm no different in having that bias when I think about fandom. The squeakey wheel gets the grease and all! Instead of mentioning the fandoms themself, I'll ramble and will tell u my fav shows, games, movies, and books that I am technically a part of the fandoms of! Or, am adjacent to enjoying the stuff, dunno how involved, if at all, ya gotta be to call yourself a part of a fandom, or just, an enjoyer of the media in question.
These aren't in order of how much I like them, just top ten of each. As is obvious, I am a simple basic gal who's eternally a sucker for animation, happy endings, kids content, and to be completely honest, a lot of popular stuff. Opinions and personal taste, it's ok if ya completely disagree with me on anythin!
Movies:
1 The Iron Giant-Excellent writing, excellent humor, very moving. Watched it like 7 million times as a kid, have it memorized. Will never get sick of it!
2 Cats Don't Dance-So sweet, simple and darling, great music, characters, everything. I love sappy found family, love the animation, also have the whole movie memorized, not just the songs, everything, though Tell Me Lies is what I'm most likely to sing to myself
3 Kiki's Delivery Service-Good cheer me up movie, encouraging, delightful, timeless
4 Atlantis: The Lost Empire-One of the most quotable movies ever, every character is just so dynamic for what little screen time they get
5 Raggedy Ann and Andy:A Musical Adventure-So, so so cute and innocent, and some of the best animation you'll ever see
6 Steven Universe: The Movie-YES. JUST. YES. THE WHOLE SOUNDTRACK, ONNNNN LOOOOOP!!!
7 The Cat Returns-Funny as heck, uplifting and lighthearted
8 Howl's Moving Castle-Literally every good thing anybody's ever said about it, unexaggerated, I usu don't go for romances but Ghibli just does it right
9 How to Train Your Dragon-Clever, well paced, bangin music, fun, eye pleasing, technically better than the books, but man I wish they'd kept the original plot and made it a tv series
10 The Secret of Nimh-Gorgeous, well paced, whimsical, classic Don Bluth majesty.
11 Scooby Doo and the Alien Invaders-Really fun, very nice dialog, feels more "real" than a lot of scooby contents dialog ever felt, without being crass, yknow? Like, they're still the same nerdy goody two shoes meddling kids, but at the same time, it's got that same smooth, natural feel only Zombie Island, Witch's Ghost, and Where's My Mummy really shared, typical friend group banter and well meaning teasing like Daphne sticking her nose up at Velmas taste in men, Crystal trying not to sound judgey (and failing) at Shaggys name being Norville. Cute, silly romance, good pacing, I'm totally not biased by nostalgia or anything no sir
Books (I haven't read book in awhile outside of school cause no attention span, so bare with me here, lots of nostalgia skewed choices
1 Holes-Literally perfect. Blessed with one pf the few ever actually good and accurate movie adaptations, but the books still better. Such astoundingly good writing. Got me emotional. The sequel Small Steps is great too
2 How to Train Your Dragon-The whole series tbh, amazing plot and characters, better than the movie series plot honestly, but no where near as funny, very clearly set to the humor of 3rd grade boys, some poo jokes and the like, not for everybody. I like kids content, lol, will forever mumble "I'm a jellyfish in a skirt" to myself
3 A Series of Unfortunate Events-Whole series, Quirky, clever, strange, sad. Exactly what you'd expect from the pen name Lemony Snicket. I love his random tangents nsskjcsjdj
4 Bunnicula-Whole series, but especially Bunicula Strikes Again, very funny, wholesome series, very quick read, can't recommend enough. My favorite book series ever.
5 The ABC Mysteries-Gonna call myself out here, only Agatha Christie book I've ever finished, I'd usu just watch the show with my parents, lol, which is also quite good. As clever as you'd expect from the great Hercule Poirot.
6 The Hobbit-Dad read it to me when I was very very teeny so it barely even counts, IM GONNA READ LOTR ONE DAY I PROMMY I JUST GOTTA GET MY BRAIN WORKIN THOSE BOOKS INTIMIDATE ME. What I do remember was quite nice though, love the ragtag group teasing Bilbo.
7 Do dogs in general count as a fandom? Lol, I love to peruse this giant Dog Encyclopedia I got when I was 10 at Christmas, gives dog biology, histoey, care,, and breed knowledge, lists every single breed and its possible colors, needs, size, past use, whether good with kids, etc. I love Labrodoodles. They never look real, even in person.
8 Howl's Moving Castle-Everyone is extremely sassy all the time, it's awesome
9 Redwall- Really immersive, transports you to a different world well, also read Mattimeo, always liked the birds, if the old timeyness or the 5000 sequels intimidate you I suggest the show, it's more relaxed dialogue wise but despite being a kids show, it doesn't skimp on the on screen(? dang memory) deaths, so be careful.
10 Bone-Full series, Graphic Novels, quick, thrilling reads, some ducktales vibes, a beautiful fantasy epic, but most memorable for the great humor and characters. The world might end but Smiley cannot be darned.
Games
1 Undertale-One of the most amazing subversions of not just video game storytelling, but storytelling, period. Your choices have a consequence in Undertale, and it makes the characters feel real in a way many games can't. All you take for granted as instinctual game logic will be called to question in Undertale. The concepts of family, forgiveness, choice, loyalty, identity, Undertale does not let you escape anything without making you think. Nothings wrong with more relaxed games where you can just thoughtlessly be a little evildoer without much consequence, or at least not consequences emotionally, but if that's the only kind of game you'll like, Undertale isn't for you.
As powerful as the games story is, and the tension that haunts you for replaying despite its immense replay ability, the game isn't too somber, it is very, very funny, and very hopeful, depending on how you play it. Love the puzzles, but beware if bullet hell games stress you out. Also, there are themes of suicide within the game, so trigger warning for that, and child death.
2 Wandersong.-A pure delight. One of the most happy, hopeful games you'll ever play. Brightly colored and lovingly made, like Wander Over Yonder, there's a new color pallete in each area. It's gorgeous to look at, and some of the most fun gameplay ever. A very forgiving game, doesn't ever send you back very far if you mess up, not a game to cause stress. The singing and dancing is endlessly fun, the love in the details is boundless, you'll never believe it was made by only three ppl.
Very good story too, it can get serious at times, with talk of war and death, but it never pulls down the sense of hope throughout the story. The game may seem simple at first, but the story has some very interesting twists I didn't see coming. Wonderful characters, wonderful songs, wonderful everything. You get to play a bard and save the world, what's not to like? You will spend ALOT hours just dinking around in this game, it's great.
3 Hollow Knight-On the opposite end of excellence, Hollow knight is almost Wandersongs mirror, equal in enjoyment imho, but opposite in every way. It also will also give you countless hours of entertainment, and is very emotional and wonderful, but in an extremely melancholy way. While there is joy here and there, this game is very dismal, and not to be played of you are not ready for many characters to get sad ends. It also is not very forgiving, you will need to be patient to beat this game, and very skilled to see extra story bits, or willing to just youtube some cutscenes, lol. Very good atmosphere, if Wandersong feels like a joyous pop up book bring to life, Hollow Knight feels like a beautiful collection of detailed oil paintings.
4 Smile for Me-Not too difficult, not very long, nice eclectic cast of characters, very adorable, with some sprinkled in sinister. Also I'm just so in love with how the characters talk. Not just the goofy sounds they make as they speak, but the bonkers things they say, everyone's weird and I love them.
5 Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky-The power of friendship man. It just never gets old. Very good writing, both in script in plot. A LOT of story too, lots of twists and turns, mysteries and revelations, and your only halfway done when the main story's done. Incredibly living, earnest story, really puts a smile on your face. The partner is the biggest sweetheart. Also, you get to be a pokemon!!! Heck yeah!!!
6 Wind Waker-Absolutely amazing, everyone knows it, lots of game play, amazing artstyle unique for a zelda game, with very expressive characters, good humor and countless side quests, your very own boat. A good time.
7 Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility-Nostalgia def coming in big time with this one, but it's just so cute man, you build rainbows ride ostriches and can get married and have 5 pets and go mining and buy a big ol rancher hat. Live off the land and say there there in a cutsey voice when you pet your cows. Makes me happy.
8 The Dog Island-Why does everyone always act so surprised that the plot of this game is so dang good?? People have been writing stories about animals dealing with the concept of death for forever, why does this one shock them? Besides, it is one of if not the most lighthearted stories on this list, you get to pick your dog breed and go on a magical adventure to save your sibling in an adorable fantasy world! Its very fun and laid back, it's got great music and characters, no gender locked items, and while sniffing will need to be done throughout the whole game, there are plenty of other game mechanics, fishing, bug catching, races, etc. Petasi is perfect in every way and we don't deserve em.
9 Portal 1 and 2-Duh! One of the best game series ever made! Despite the gloomy setting, it's not the kind of game to bring you down, Glados is the most character ever and you'll never get enough of her, great puzzles, great everything, the cake may be a lie but the hype isn't.
10 Celeste-A treasure that hits close to home to those with anxiety. A beautiful, emotional platformer game that may take you awhile, but is more than worth it. It's made perfectly for ppl with anxiety too, a very hard game at its default, but with all kinds of settings to make it easier so you don't have to be an epic gamer toplay it. Very touching, very good gameplay, homey 8 bit artstyle.
Tv shoes
1 Wander Over Yonder-My favorite show ever. EVER. The animation, the humor, the characters, there is nothing this show can do wrong. Elastic, smooth, rich movement, countless gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous backgrounds, color schemes, extremely creative background characters, complete goofballs for main characters, yet you get so attached to them, take them so seriously. And the show is constantly improving throughout! Craig McCracken being an animation beast, like always. Peepers needs anxiety meds.
2 Over The Garden Wall-Dare ya to find a flaw with this series. Dare ya. Dripping with atmosphere, gets you so in love with the cast in just 10 episodes, so many easter eggs and clever foreshadowing, Gravity Falls and Steven Universe levels of you can never watch it the same way twice. Stunning voice cast, hilarious, timeless, gorgeous, I recommend it to literally anyone and everyone. Woy is my fav, but Otgw is the best, if that makes sense? Wander is glorious, but attracts a specific audience, would not make people who don't like sillyness happy, and does make plenty of more recent references. Although it doesn't rely on them, they are often. Despite the countless cultural references such as Dantes Inferno and rubber hose and the like, Over the Garden Wall will never age.
3 Infinity Train-Insane levels of creativity, boundless opportunity in its amazing setting, and uses it to its fullest. An emotional rollercoaster, always keeping you on the edge of your train seat, amazing character designs, and even better writing. Not the funniest show on this list, but some of the most clever humor, if that makes sense. Wanders cancellation hurt a lot too, but that ending felt a lot more solid, while Infinity Train didn't leave on a cliffhanger, all the questions it left with drive me crazy, esp when Owen wanted 8 seasons. You should still watch it tho, each season can stand on its own, although the ways they connect are awesome, like that ever present darn cat. No, I shall not grace her with her The, cause even though she's amazing I'm mad at her.
4 OK K.O. Let's Be Heroes!-One of the funniest shows on this list, if not the funniest besides Wander and Gumball. Like Wander, it's very wholesome, like Gumball, it starts off just sweet, but gets way more unhinged as the series goes on, and the writers really start to realize what they can get away with, not in a dirty way, but in a, can we pull this insanity off in 11 minutes and not fry anyone's brain? Not as cynical as Gumball, just shares the memey fast paced meta humor. When a joke falls flat, which is rare, like Gravity Falls, you barely notice, cause a new better joke is already happening. Good story, good characters, the cancelation is sad, but doesn't leave you hanging or anything.
5 Sym-Bionic Titan-CANCELLATION VERY MUCH LEAVES YOU HANGING OR ANYTHING. Freaking amazing series, but get attached at your own risk, plot does NOT get resolved. Great action, characters, humor, typical awesome Genndy Tartakovsky extreme facial expressions, cute romance.
6 Gravity Falls-What can I say that hasn't already been said? Amazing characters, mystery, suspense, very rewatchable, all around loved. Had a lot more fat jokes in it than I remembered though, very disheartening.
7 The Amazing World of Gumball-Laugh your self silly humor, gets better as the series goes on, doesn't let the cynicism ruin the show or its surprisingly wholesome moments, endlessly creative and a treasure visually, right when you think there's no way they can break the 4th wall in a way they haven't already, they do, plot sneaks up on ya once in awhile. Like We Bare Bears, it's mini arcs, not a full length plot, you you can watch out of order, but I don't recommend it.
8 We Bare Bears-Charming and dear to my heart. Usually a good comfort show, but once in awhile feels come and punch you in the gut. Great characters, humor, nice rainy day show.
9 Ducktales-Francisco Angones, one of the main writers on Wander, has done it again, him and Matt Youngberg made a modern masterpiece, one of the most well rounded shows I've ever seen. No bad episodes. The writers are huge nerds for the old series and comics, esp the comics, and it shows! It's insane how many characters they're able to bring back without hurting the plot. So much happens, and it all fits so seamlessly. Constant nods to old duck artwork, a cohesive mixture of the entire Duckverse (marvel wishes), goof troop, dark wing, tailspin, the life and times of scrooge mcduck, Donald's diary, rescue rangers, gummi bears???? EVERYONE IS HERE!!!!! Amazing animation, quick, smart humor, superb plot, and as always, a great series puts its focus on its characters. Would suggest to anyone oddly enough, never strays too far into silly or serious to be for one group, like Gravity Falls or otgw.
10 and of course, as you saw coming if you've so much as glanced at my blog, STEVEN UNIVERSE!!!-Where do I even start. I can not begin to express how this show gets my emotions. How much I think about the characters every single day. Rebecca Sugar writes emotion like no one else. Everything feels so palpable, so close to your own heart, the characters are vastly interesting and complex, and the cast is just full of richly fascinating and morally grey characters, like, actually morally grey, not edgy anti hero who wants everyone to die and who's few connections are killed off for shock before you even got attached to them. Characters who's actions are understandable but not excused, characters who live a story full of hope, that declares you can break the cycle of abuse, you can find love, even for yourself.
This is gonna sound like a pretty darn crazy take, and just to remind, this is all opinions, it's okay if you disagree, but I think Steven Universe is the best written show out there besides Otgw. I mean it. The realistic writing of kids, the honest writing of trauma, the amazing pacing (which, anyone who's ever been ticked off by CNs stupid scheduling or doesn't like "filler" character development episodes will kick and scream at hearing given any praise), the natural, charming dialogue, down to the awkward pauses, dad jokes, soft humph of someone picking something up, leaves out no details that could keep you from feeling a part of Steven's Universe.
I think a lot of the hate the shows writing gets for anything other than season 5s ending (which would have felt a lot less rushed if CN let Rebecca have more seasons like they wanted, I'm still mad about the chest CN), comes from people equating not making them happy personally as written bad.
A lot of people suggest SU to friends applauding it as a space war drama, but they fail to mention its also very consistently a comedy. If you don't like comedy, if you don't like sillyness, you won't like su, I'm sorry. You can't just watch the plot episodes and feel satisfied, the characters development and drop fed foreshadowing is what makes the emotional and plot pivotal moments really hit. Episodes that seem filler besides character bonding to get you attached to them turn out to be VERY important later. A cherry picked Universe has no punch. If you don't like su season 1, it's nothing wrong with you or the show, it's just not your genre. The only problem with season 1 is Cat Fingers and Frybo being so close to the beginning of the show, quite the tonal whiplash.
I never understood people saying season 1 is bad but future is good, the whole show is an unapologetically weird lil comedy, future is the only season as crazy as season 1, as the show always follows Steven's mental state, and he's as lost as he was with his powers at s1. People don't realize it's not the humor thats the problem, the show just doesn't usually meet their preferred angst level. I hate the sentiment a shows only well written when it's sad. If you don't like sillyness, this show isn't for you, and that's fine! But if you do. Holy Moly. There will never be a show like Steven Universe. It has a depth I cannot describe, the only way you can fully take it in, is to watch.

Buzzer Beater moment (Namgi AU)
Word count: 5762
Warnings: Major character death, mentions of blood, car accident, fluff and angst
The rain storm woke him up, but he didn’t move. He just watched as the raindrops fell down his window pane. The dark starless sky featured gray clouds that struck lightning and screams of thunder kept him at bay in his bed. He looks at his clock next to his window. It reads 4:37 AM. With nothing better to do he finally rises out of bed and walks downstairs to his kitchen. He makes himself a cup of green tea. Staring down at the honey colored liquid he puts it down without giving it a second though and walks away from the tea cup. He goes back to his room and begins to weep silently to himself not trying to cause a disturbance. He has no idea why he’s crying. At least that's what he tells himself, but he knows exactly why.
He wants to let go. He wants to move on. But he can’t. He’s still holding on to the air between them, but it’s no longer there. He lost what mattered most to him and will never get it back. No matter how hard he tries. He wipes his tears away and reaches under his bed and grabs a shoe box from under his bed and goes through the memories in there. He pulls out a painting he made on vacation once, reminiscing of the air and calmness of the lake he portrayed. He holds a notebook that was gifted to him. He opens thinking it’ll be an embarrassing diary, but it turns out to be his old poetry book. He flips through mindlessly before re-reading a short poem.
From my heart blooms flowers of all kind
You give love of the best kind
I knew from the time we were young
Just kids on the playground
That someday you would be mine
He cringes at his embarrassment but he knows the exact moment he decided to write this.
~~~~~~~~~
“Come onnnnn Namjoon '' The young boy no older than 7 peeks his head over his book. “All you ever do is read, don’t you get bored of it?” The other younger boy known as Yoongi plops down next to Namjoon. It’s currently recess time on a particularly hot day. Namjoon was comfortably sitting in a shaded area under a tree that had a decently nice breeze. “Do you ever do anything fun?” Yoongi is practically whining trying to pry Namjoon from his book.
“Well this is fun to me” Namjoon gets shy at his confession.
“Don’t you want to do something else? Like why don’t we play basketball?” Yoongi was the athletic one in this friendship. When he wasn’t playing basketball, he was trying to convince Namjoon how to play basketball.
“But I suck at basketball” Namjoon goes back to reading his book. “And besides I don’t wanna get all sweaty and it's too hot to play basketball”
Yoongi groans and gets up from under the tree. “It's never too hot to play basketball. And you never know you can be really good at it if you keep going.”
Namjoon sighs “But that’ll take forever to get good at. I really don’t feel like learning a new skill right now”
Yoongi rolls his eyes at his friend's incompetence. “Come onnnn just try again. For me?” The 9 year old flashes his puppy eyes that he knows will work against Namjoon. “Pleeeeeeaaaassssseeeee? After today we never have to play again if you don’t want to”
Namjoon sighs. “Pinky Promise?”
“Promise”
Namjoon gives it one last thought. “Alright. And this is the last time”
Yoongi's eyes light up and he is practically about to jump out of his skin. “Alright let's go” He drags Namjoon off of the ground and onto the basketball court.
“Ok so what you wanna do is…” Yoongi and Namjoon go on to spend the next 5 minutes practicing how to shoot the ball. Namjoon watches in amazement as Yoongi effortlessly makes shot after shot, while he can barely make one. He slowly begins to give up.
“Am I doing this right?” He dribbles the ball and tries to shoot again but the ball falls to the ground without being remotely close to the rim, known as an airball.
“Not quite but you’re getting there.” Yoongi puts his ball down and comes closer to Namjoon. “Try to aim for the white square, that's what I do. '' Yoongi begins his demonstration. He dribbles the ball, gets in his position and shoots the ball. And what do you know, it goes in. Yoongi chases after the ball and passes it to Namjoon. “You try”
Namjoon with shaky hands dribbles the ball and tries to shoot the ball again, aiming for the white square like Yoongi said to. The ball doesn’t go through the net but it touches the rim which is progress in Yoongi's eyes. “Hey you touched the rim this time. Maybe you should move closer to the hoop and it might go in.” At the current moment Namjoon was standing at the freethrow line.
“Yeah. Or maybe basketball isn’t my thing like it is yours.” Namjoon drags his feet as he goes to pick up the ball.
Yoongi sighs. “Look, you won’t get good at something overnight. I didn’t magically wake up and be good at basketball, I had to keep practicing.” He goes to Namjoon and puts his hands on the ball. “Don’t give up K?”
“Alright kids time to go back inside” The young boys peer over and look at the teacher.
“Well, recess is over. We can try again tomorrow” Yoongi takes the ball from Namjoon and runs inside. Namjoon however, does not move at all. He’s practically frozen until another student taps him on the shoulder.
“You left this over there.” The student places the book in Namjoon's hands and leaves. Namjoon glances at the tree once more then down at the book. He shook off whatever feeling he was feeling and ran back inside the school. From that day on he vouched he would never give up on something so easily and would keep trying. Maybe not basketball, but whatever he was working on at the time, he wouldn’t stop until he saw it through the end.
Namjoon should’ve known Yoongi wouldn’t keep his promise because Yoongi came to him asking to play basketball the next day. And the day after. And the day after that. And the day after until the two boys had spent practically everyday for the last 2 weeks playing basketball. Each day Namjoon got easier to convince to play as he knew there was no longer any point in fighting it.
On today instead of just shooting hoops, Yoongi decided that he would 1-v-1 Namjoon to a game of 20 points each shoot being worth 1 point. Everything was fine until Yoongi crossed Namjoon and he fell to the ground scraping his knee pretty badly. Namjoon bites his lip trying to hold back the tears but the pain is pretty much inevitable. He had scraped his entire knee and it was bleeding pretty bad. Yoongi looks over and immediately runs to help him up and carries him to the nurse. There she patches him up with a band aid and Yoongi explains the situation to her. By the time recess ended the pain died down and Namjoon was able to walk on his own. The two boys leave together and go back to class. It's pretty quiet for most of it before Yoongi speaks up.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to, I just got too into it” He picks at his skin. “We don’t have to play basketball ever again if you don’t want to” He scratches the back of his neck.
“It's ok Yoongi. It happens. I don’t mind playing again, I think I’m starting to understand why you like it so much” Namjoon gives him a small smile. “Don’t think too much about this. I’ll be fine.” The two boys walk into the classroom and finish off the school day.
~~~~~~~~~
He chuckles at the memory of that school year. They basically spent every day that year playing basketball and forming a bond together. He misses the innocence they had back then He closes the poem book to save himself any further embarrassment. He goes back into the box and pulls out 2 gold medals. One that reads ‘MVP’ and another one being a championship medal. He also pulls out a championship ring. He also remembers this day quite vividly. The team had spent the entire season working hard to make it to finals. And it all paid off as they went the whole season undefeated, even winning the championship.
~~~~~~~~~
“Are you coming to the game tonight?” Yoongi leans against the lockers. The two boys are now 17 and 18 nearing the final stages of their high school career.
Namjoon closes his locker. “I’ll try to be there before the end of the game, I have to tutor a few people tonight but it shouldn’t take long” He holds his books close to his chest. 10 years have passed and the two boys that were close in height now have a slightly noticeable height difference with Namjoon being slightly taller. Yoongi has mint green hair and Namjoon has brown. Both have gotten noticeably stronger over the years as they work out together when time allows. Yoongi has spent most of his school days playing basketball while after middle school Namjoon decided that it wasn’t the thing for him and doesn’t play the sport with anyone except Yoongi. It's kind of like their thing to do with each other.
“Ok that's fine. Tonight is our championship game and I would really like for you to be there as good luck” Yoongi gives Namjoon a sly smirk. Namjoon turns as red as a tomato and his heartbeat quickens.
“Can you not say such things to me...It's embarrassing” He hides his face behind his books and goes to walk to class. But, Yoongi is next to him the whole way.
“What's embarrassing? Being my boyfriend?” He says it a little too loud and Namjoon fears someone could’ve heard.
“Can you keep it down. I thought we didn’t want anyone to know” His head hangs low.
“Come on. No one knows except who we want to know. And so what if someone does know? It won’t hurt. And I kind of wanna show you off as my boyfriend. I want everyone to know that you are mine and that I am yours” Yoongi grabs Namjoon's hand but he pulls it away.
“That's easy for you to say. You're the school pride. You brought the school the semi finals 3 years in a row and now you guys have your championship game tonight. For me I’m just some unimportant nerd” Namjoon holds his books closer to his chest. “We’re in two different worlds Yoongi. Please understand that”
Yoongi's face drops. He goes to say something but the school bell rings signifying the start of class. “I’ll see you tonight?” He drops the subject.
“We’ll see” Namjoon replies and walks into his classroom. Yoongi sighs and walks to his classroom which is in the opposite direction of Namjoons classroom. Yoongi always walks Namjoon to class everyday without fail ever since before they started dating their Sophomore year of high school. Yoongi sits in his 3rd period class thinking about what Namjoon said. He’s right, they are in two different worlds and he wishes it wasn’t like that. And it’s not like anyone isn’t suspicious of them. They are practically always together. And whenever people ask Yoongi if they are together he hates denying that they are a thing. He wants to be able to shout it from the rooftops that Namjoon is his boyfriend but he’s not sure if he will.
“Yoongi? Care to share with the class what you're thinking about?” The teacher questions him and the entire class turns and faces him. He looks up at the teacher and doesn’t respond. Luckily someone else does for him.
“He’s clearly nervous about tonight. Alot is riding on his back.” Someone says.
“Are you kidding? The Min Yoongi is nervous? If anyone is nervous it's the other team” Another says. And this basically sparks a class debate about the championship game tonight.
The teacher sighs and claps her hands. “Ok OK everyone pay attention to class. You can worry about tonight's game later. For now let's focus on the review for the test” The teacher goes back to teaching and the students keep whispering about tonight's game. Yoongi however could care less for either topic. All he can think about is Namjoon.
~~~~~~~~~
There's 1 minute left in the last quarter. Namjoon is sitting on the bleachers with the rest of the student body. He had missed the first few minutes of the first quarter but other than that he has been there for the entire game. The two teams are neck and neck with the other school in the lead 71-72. It's a 1 point difference between the teams. A 1 point difference is between the basketball team and the championship. Right now there is a timeout going on and the enemy school is cheering because previous to the timeout they made the shot that made the score it is now. Namjoon doesn’t know what is being said to those boys and would prefer to not find out. He practically feels the entire team, hell the entire gym's heartbeat quickening, awaiting to see the end of the game. There are loud screams everywhere and the buzzer goes off notifying coaches that the time out was over. Everything is moving in slow motion now for Namjoon in the stands. The ref is holding the ball and when Yoongi's teammate reaches him he blows the whistle and the timer begins. Yoongi's teammate passes the ball over to another and it seems that they are trying to waste the clock and pass the ball around. Finally he gets to Yoongi around the 30 second mark he passes the ball to a teammate and the ball goes in bringing the score to 73-72. The gym erupts with cheers again but then it becomes a realization that the other school now gets the ball. There's 20 seconds left in the game all the team has to do is ensure that the other team doesn’t get a shot in. Namjoons heart quickens as he realizes this. The other team rushes down the court and tries to get a shot in. Now the timer reads 15 seconds. All they have to do is hold out for 15 seconds but this seems like the longest 15 seconds ever. Then the timer drops down to 10, then 5. And Namjoon sees the hope that is until the team takes the shot and leaves 4 seconds on the clock. Yoongi quickly gets the rebound. And throws the ball all the way from across the court and Namjoon begins to remember a day from when they were young.
~~~~~~~
“Really? You’re reading again” Its 5th grade for these two. “Come on we’re playing basketball” Yoongi tries to pry Namjoon from the bench but Namjoon pulls away.
“We played basketball yesterday. Don’t you ever get tired of it?” Namjoon places his book down trying to understand Yoongi’s fascination with sports.
He shakes his head. “Nope. It’s so much fun and so unpredictable.” He dribbles the ball next to the bench. “You never know if you're gonna make the next 3 pointer, if you can cross someone over or better yet, making a buzzer beater” Yoongi lights up with excitement just thinking of all the possibilities while Namjoon is confused on a few of the terminology used.
“A buzzer beater?” You can practically see the question marks on his face.
Yoongi nods. “Yeah. So you know how each quarter of a game has a timer right?” That much Namjoon did know, so he nods in response. “Well right when the timer goes off and the buzzer goes off but the ball is already out of your hands, all the player can do is wait for the ball to go in '' Yoongi sits close to Namjoon. “And it's like your heart is getting ready to explode, it's beating so fast. Everyone gets quite waiting to see if it’ll go in or not and time slows down” Yoongi has this big smile on his face. “And then when the ball goes in, it's like the best feeling ever. Everyone around you cheering for you and it's just indescribable” Yoongi leans his back against the connected table to the bench thinking about the day he’ll be able to experience that feeling.
“Wow. That sounds nice but I still don’t want to play” Namjoon goes back to reading his book
“Ughhhhh come on pleaseee?” Yoongi places his hand on Namjoons shoulder. “Just one more time?”
“Why don’t you play with the other kids who play basketball? Why must you drag me into this?”
“Because they’re all losers and suck. You’re different”
“Yeah But I don’t play basketball, I don’t find it fun like they do.”
“Ok but don’t you want to feel that feeling? That adrenaline rush? It must be exciting to feel right?” Yoongi keeps pushing his younger friend. “I’ll show it to you one day. I promise”
~~~~~~~
Well, Yoongi did keep that promise. Namjoons heart was racing a mile a second as he watched the ball slowly fly through the air and the buzzer went off. Even though it went off the ball was still going through the air and it was nearing the hop. It bounced off the backboard and I thought it was all going to be over and then it finally hit the edge of the rim and it sunk down bringing the score to 76-74 with Yoongi's team winning. The gym erupts in a loud cheer and Yoongi stands there frozen as his team and the school all run towards him. This was it. This was the moment and the feeling that Yoongi talked about when they were young. Namjoon has a big smile on his face and he goes to try and find Yoongi in the crowd and give him the biggest hug ever. He was so proud of him, everything in their life was leading up to this moment. He finally was able to get it, his buzzer beater moment.
~~~~~~~~
The memories come back to the now adult man. He puts the medals and ring back into the box and closes it once again. He puts it back under his and looks back over at the clock. Nearly 2 hours have passed since his reminiscing and the sun is beginning to rise. The rain stopped long ago and the man goes back down to the kitchen. He looks at the cup of green tea that has been untouched since he poured it. The tea is now cold and probably tasteless. The man grabs the cup and pours it out remembering how he even got the handcrafted cup before him.
~~~~~~~~
The two boys are now in college. Namjoon got into Yale University and Yoongi settled for UConn, a neighboring school with a great basketball team for him. They aren’t far from each other but their schedules are always conflicting so they aren’t able to see each other all the time. However today is a weekend and they were both available to hangout. They decided to go on a picnic and Namjoon picked this place. He also brought painting materials as they decided to make something for each other. Yoongi brought the blanket and the food and they settled down in the space. Yoongi has no idea how Namjoon found this place but it was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. They were on a cliff and it had the most beautiful view of the area and of the sky. There were budding flowers and an old swing there, it was the perfect place.
“How did you find this place Namjoon?” Yoongi is taking in all of the sights he can.
“For my art class we were in the area and we were told to make a painting of an area and I found this place. I did the assignment and about how I just had to show you.” Namjoon sets up their place as Yoongi looks all around them. He has the biggest grin.
“This is really beautiful. And I have got to see this painting you speak of.” Yoongi takes his seat next to Namjoon. “So, should we paint or eat first?”
Namjoon thinks for a second. “We should paint first and then eat. Give the paint time to dry while we eat. Then we can go and glaze all the stuff.”
Yoongi nods in agreement. “I like how you think.” The cups are similar in size and shape but how the two of them paint them are drastically different. Namjoon takes a more ‘professional’ approach. The cup doesn’t even look like a normal clay cup, but one made of marble. It's mostly white with hues of black, gray and gold. It looks exactly like a marble countertop or a marble statue. It looks like it took him almost years to make this but in actuality it only took about 3 or 4 hours. It's perfect in Yoongi's eyes. Yoongi on the other hand took a more ‘cuter’ approach. The base color of the cup is also white but he added mini frogs to the cup with one giant one on the front. Namjoon lets out a small chuckle.
“What? What's so funny?” Yoongi is a little confused, and then he looks at the cup and sees what happened.
“It looks like your frog has tits” Namjoon tries to stifle his laughter but it all comes pouring out. Yoongi begins to laugh as well.
“Shut it. That was not my intention and you know that it wasn’t.”
“It’s still funny” Namjoon sits up straight and calms down after his laughter fest. “It’s still pretty funny”
“Yeah yeah whatever.” The two continue painting their cups and just chatting about what was going on for them. Namjoon was studying business courses as he always wanted to be a businessman and Yoongi was studying music production and captain of the basketball team. The pair finish painting and eating right around the time the sun begins to set and they watch as the fog appears and the sun goes down revealing a yellow and orange sky. Namjoon is now sitting on the swing, Yoongi slowly pushing the swing.
“I wish we could have more days like this. With each other” Namjoon confesses. “I love you Yoongi”
Yoongi's heartbeat quickens. This wasn’t the first time Namjoon said this. They say it to each other so often it feels like it lost all meaning. “I love you too Namjoon” The two bask in the sunset until the moon rises and the stars appear. Namjoon gets off the swing and the two pack away all of their things and make their way to Yoongi's car as Namjoon doesn’t have his license at the moment. As they are leaving they are spotted by two of Yoongi's teammates.
“Yooo Yoongi whats up” The two men dap Yoongi and Namjoon does nothing but watch. It comes about that their names are Taehyung and Jungkook, two lower classmen on the team.
“Whos this?” The younger one, Jungkook, points to Namjoon.
Yoongi halts for a second before responding. Everyone on the team knows he's bi so it shouldn’t matter what he says right? “This is my boyfriend, Namjoon”
Surprise goes across the two boys' faces and Namjoon stiffens up. “Well nice to meet you. I didn’t think you were the relationship type Yoongi” Taehyung says.
Namjoon is very clearly confused. “What do you mean by that?”
Jungkook shrugs. “Well whenever people would approach him he always denied them and would just say he didn’t want a relationship or anything. So we just thought he was some grumpy man who just liked basketball and music. He’s never really talked about you either”
Namjoon's eyes fall. “Well I understand. I did tell him that I didn’t really want anyone to know about us in high school but I didn’t think it would carry over to college” The two of them exchange a look for a few seconds. Yoongi then turns his attention to the 2 underclassmen.
“What are you guys doing here anyway? There's nothing here for miles”
“Well we actually came to find you. You missed practice today and the coach was pissed” Taehyung says matter of factly.
“I didn’t know you had practice today” Namjoon looks at him confused
“That's not important” Yoongi brushes him off. “How did you find me?”
“Did you forget?” Jungkook questions the older boy. “The team shares location with each other at all times. If you didn’t want to be found you really should’ve turned it off.”
Yoongi mentally beats himself up for that. He throws his head back then rubs his temples. “Alright you guys head home and I’ll make it up to coach later.”
“Alright. But he was pretty mad so I’m praying for you.” The two underclassmen leave and Namjoon addresses Yoongi missing practice.
“Why did you skip practice?”
“Well I wanted to come see you. I missed you”
“Yeah but you know better than to just miss practice. You should’ve gone”
“Its fine its nothing” “No Yoongi, it's nothing. You love basketball. What if you get kicked off the team because of me? I could never live with that”
Yoongi puts his hands on Namjoons shoulders. “Calm down. I won’t get kicked off the team. I’ll be fine.”
Namjoon takes a deep breath. “You better be Yoongi”
“I will I promise”
~~~~~~~~
He was in fact fine. The coach dismissed it and let the situation go. It's now years later and the cup presented before the older man still looks as fresh as it did the day they made those cups. The man looks at the oven clock and it reads 6:13. He realizes he will have to go into work soon. It's a quite cold day out with the temperature being 30 degrees fahrenheit (-1 degree celsius) he decides to bundle up. He goes to his closet and falls down a red scarf he hadn’t seen in years. He lets the fabric drape over his hands. He looks at the scarf once more as he can’t remember how he got this like he did with the poem, the medal, and the cup. Then he does remember and he wishes he hadn’t.
~~~~~~~~
“No. It can’t be true” His heartbeat quickens and tears well up in his eyes.
“We did everything we could. I’m so sorry Mr.-” The world stops for him. He drops down to his knees and begins to sob loudly pleading with the doctor to go back and bring back his lover, his one and only, his soulmate. Friends he made through the years try to comfort him but it just doesn't work out like that. They don’t understand. He was the only one right for him. He couldn’t just let him go. They did everything together. He wasn’t ready for him to go. The man's friends bring him out of the hospital after a few minutes and bring him home. The man has stopped crying and is now dead silent. Not a single sound coming from him other than the sound of his shaky breath.
A few days go by and it's time to get the last of his stuff from the hospital. It wasn’t much. Just his clothes, his wallet and a red scarf. The man gave his love this red scarf for their anniversary along with an engagement ring. He felt it was time seeing as they were high school sweethearts and weren’t leaving each other anytime soon. Their anniversary was just a few days ago. He begins to tear up again and then just stuff all of it into the car.
It was all so sudden when it happened. The two had decided that they were going to go back to the cliff and swing as they always did. After that first date it became a regular occasion for them to do. Hell they even got engaged there. The man remembers already being there waiting for the other to appear. But then 10 minutes go by with no sign of showing up or text. Then 20 minutes. Then around the 30 minute mark The man gets a call from the hospital getting the news he dreaded. The love of his life had been in a terrible car accident. They were doing everything they could to save him but the chances of his survival were slim. The man managed to catch one of his friends before they got too far and they drove to the hospital together.
It's now the day of his funeral. The man thinks of just not going as a whole as the pain he bears is too much, but he knows that's wrong of him to do. He sits down in the front row trying to hold in his composure and not sob in the hysteric way he wants to. His head hangs low. He’s wearing a black tux and black shades to hide his puffy eyes. He just wants this to all be over so that he can go to his home and never come back out again.
Just like he wished, everything was over quickly. He decided to not go to the repass and everyone around him, including both families, understood why. The man just wanted to be alone. He felt as though this was his fault. That is he hadn’t told his love to meet him there and just stayed with him instead of taking separate trips that would’ve been avoided and that he would still be here. Everyone tried to tell the man that he couldn’t have predicted this and that it wasn't his fault. But he can’t help but like it was.
~~~~~~~~
The man calls out of work that day and decides to go back to the swing and the tree. Today would've been the love of his life's birthday. He sits behind the swing and reminisces on all of the time they spent together and what would’ve been if not for that fateful day. The man has come to terms that he would never love another like he loved him and that he would be content with waiting out the rest of his days alone.
“You know, it sucks you aren’t here anymore” The man begins to pick away at his skin. “It's your birthday today but I’m sure you know that already considering that, it is your birthday” He chuckles at his joke. “I spend every day thinking about what our wedding would be like. What you would wear, what I would wear. Who is in the wedding, the theme, the color. Everything. I decided to write my vows to you so here goes.” The man clears his throat and reads from the paper.
My dearly beloved,
You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You were always there for me. My thick and thin, my sickness and my health, my light and my dark. We’ve always known each before we even knew our own selves. I'm so thankful to have known you since diapers and now to be able to call you my husband. Ever since that day on the playground and the many days after, I knew you would be mine. It’s like the stars aligned for us to be together. We were inseparable. We spent every waking moment we could together and even if our busy schedules wouldn’t allow it, we tried our very hardest to make it work.
Being with you is like having that buzzer beater moment everyday. Every minute. Every second. Being with you is always something new and unpredictable. Whether it's trying a new recipe, seeing a movie, going to a new location, it was always fun doing it with you. You are the highlight of every day, my entire life even. I would never go back and change anything. Because if I did the butterfly effect is very real and I don’t wanna mess up the littlest thing if it meant getting to this moment.
You, My dear, are my everything. If I didn’t have you around I probably wouldn’t have the drive I have now. You kept me moving forward and wanting to keep pushing myself. I probably would’ve given up by now but I always think about the time you learned what a buzzer beater was and how you get all the glory and cheers. I was always waiting and hoping for that moment to happen. And it did. I thought it was the time in high school during the championship game when I had an actual buzzer beater moment. But it wasn’t. I was never one for metaphors and similes until I met you. You are my buzzer beater moment. And I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
The man looks at the swing. “It’s cheesy, I know.” He eyes the swing up and down. He lets out a breath he feels like he’s been holding for centuries. “I’m not ready to let you go, but it’s something I have to do. I'll always think of you and our memories together.” The man takes the red scarf off of his neck and ties it to the swing. He stands and gives the swing a push. “This will always be our spot. That’ll never change.” He pushes the swing again. “And I’ll always be yours. That's another thing that’ll never change” He pushes the swing one last time. “But I'm letting go. I hope you're ok with that.” and with that the man walks away and never returns back to the spot ever again.
~~~~~~~~
The scarf still sits on that swing blowing in the wind. Sometimes the man wonders if anyone has gone to that spot and taken the scarf or if that became a new couple's spot. But even with someone new, the man still thinks of him. It's been a few years now and the man has a family. He has a husband and kids now. He looks outside the window to see his oldest son in the driveway saying what he once said to his love.
“Come onnnnnnn all you ever do is read do you ever get bored of it?”

S: That was shocking, i mean like i'm sure no one remembered..... OHhh you remember wwww
K: Ahhhh, then they're on the same level as me probably
S: Amazing..... but yes, once we've become adults, we don't get called by nicknames anymore
K: That's true, like, calling each other by our names has more impact right?
S: That's true
K: There are not many Soma sans... and there are more Kaitos recently but, it's quite unique
S: Well.... Murase Ayumu san calls you Kaity alot right, is there anybody else who calls you that?
K: The first one who called me that was Nishiyama san
S: wwwww Kaity
K: He called me Kaitis
S: Kaitis (in koutarou voice), that's totally what he would say!! Koutarou wwwww
K: "Kaitis, you know.." all of a sudden, it was not because of a show or anything, the day before of some event, ah it was the day before "Get up Get live", he started calling me Kaitis
S: Ahhh
K: Kaits? I thought
S: Wwww
K: Well i was happy so i thought that's fine, but when we went on stage, he called me "kaito kun"
S: wwww He closed the distance and widened it again
K: And then Murase Ayumu started calling me Kaity behind my back
S: Stop with with the behind the back thing
K: Coz he calls me "kaito kun" on programmes
S: AHHAHAHHA
K: That's why i call him Murase san too
S: wwww
K: Come on, don't call me nicknames behind my back!
S: Yes, we'd like them to call us that nickname in front of us
K: It turns my mental state upside down you know, like *sigh* irritates me, ahhaa
S: You give up in the end. Well nicknames right?
K: What do you want to be called?
S: Well, my name, maybe something unrelated to my name?
K: Piiman then
S: That piiman thing came from Soma piiman which became Sosama piiman, that's why. I say this but it doesn't make sense. And i won't approve it though! The me back then won't
.
.
.
S: If juniors call your name, would "kaito san" be more preferrable?
K: Ahhh
S: Than Ishikawa san. I would be more happy if they call me Soma san
K: Well I would be glad but there are not many who call me kaito san in the first place
S: ......Well moving on!
K: My seniors call me Kaito san though
S: wwww
K: Well when i ask them why they said, "well, nah, you know, you are older than me so"
S: wwwww stop it!
K: "Please let me call you kaito san!"
S: That gets messy
K: That guy, Tasuku kun
S: HAHAHHAA
K: When will he.... the unfair part about it is that he calls Yoshiki san who is a little more senior that I am, "Yoshiki"
S: That makes you feel a little sad right?
K: So, what? you hate me?
S: Exactly that, that
K: When i asked him that, he was like, "no no it's not like that, kaito san, you have this, p p presence"
S: Hahahahaa
K: "I'm telling you!" hahaha
S: That happens right....
K: Even though i'm older than he is i have fewer years of experience
S: yeahhh
K: So i keep asking him why
S: Yesss, I would like Tasuku kun to talk to me in the casual form and call me by my name, and Taku as well! Taku talks to be in casual form but calls me Soma san
K: Ehhh? Is that so?
S: Yes Yes Yes
K: Ah Oh Ah, then, i'm sorry hahaha
S: Well not that I MIND it
K: Because, "kun" is not right, right?
S: Eh?
K: I call you Soma san too, and talk to you in casual form
S: But ... you know... I got used to it..kaito kun is you see..I...speak... i'm like trying to analyse here but, you said that you don't like to call me "soma kun"
K: I don't like it, and i did that once during a programme
S: Like slipped it in
K: Although you realised
S: I just accepted it. But for kaito kun, it's settled, but for Taku and Tasuku i feel sad
K: True, Yashiro kun.... keeps his distance i think
S: wwww
K: Shall we get him on the show again
S: Call... yes let's!
K: And properly ask him about it
S: Like recently when i had a job with Taku, when i said "really thanks for that time on dameraji" and he was like, "ahhhh" He had a really hard time apparently
K: Oh is that so?
S: We should get him on a normal episode where he can relax and have a relaxing chat
K: Get him on the show and ask, "Why do you call me soma SAN?"
S: No no no no, wwwww
K: WHY? you speak casually to me though? why do you call me soma SAN?
S: He'll just be, "Because..."
K: "Because, kaito kun does it too right?" Then we'll start this convo again

Caught in his web, Chapter 25
Chloe was a trembling, sweaty and panting mess as Loki collapsed down next to her, he was a bit of a mess himself after that exercise.
She could feel his seed inside of her, slowly trickling out and making a mess of his bedsheets.
‘You are far too delightful, doll.’ Loki purred, trailing his fingers lightly across her chest.
She trembled under his touch, making him smile as he moved closer and buried his face into her hair. Breathing in deeply, enjoying her scent.
Loki pulled her in tightly to him and was delighted when she didn’t try to pull away or leave, she just snuggled up against him with a content sigh.
‘I will be out most of today, some business to attend to. If you’re wanting to go out with friends, Ralph will be on call for you. Just ask Pete to call him.’ Loki said, stroking her arm.
‘Ok… Thank you. I was hoping to meet with them before going to college. And I need to get a couple of things, is that alright?’ Chloe tilted her head back to look at him, he smiled at her and nodded.
‘Of course. You’ve got the card, it’s yours to use.’
-
‘So, how’s things with your hot sugar daddy?’ Amanda grinned.
Chloe rolled her eyes. ‘He is not my sugar daddy. Don’t even go there, that’s just… eww!’
‘He’s hot. He lavishes you with gifts. He is rich as fuck. That’s sugar daddy material right there.’ Amanda laughed, so did Georgie.
Chloe shook her head and stabbed into her lunch. ‘He is not a sugar daddy.’
‘Well, how are things going with Loki?’ Georgie asked.
‘Umm. Good, I guess. As good as things can be when you’ve been kidnapped by the most dangerous man in the city.’ Chloe shrugged.
‘Come on, Chloe. This is no normal kidnapping, you’re out and about, right now. You’ve got a boat load of money to spend. Is it really that bad?’ Amanda said.
Chloe sighed and sat back on her chair. ‘No, it’s not… But that’s the problem. It should be. I’m hating myself right now because I feel like I’m falling further and further under his spell, and I don’t know what I should be doing. I’m fed up of fighting him, because truthfully? I am starting to like being with him… I just, I just feel like it’s wrong.’
Amanda and Georgie looked sorry for her. Amanda reached out and gave her arm a squeeze.
‘It must be difficult. But… he is looking after you, you have your freedom still. I guess the only bad thing is that you don’t stay with your parents anymore. But his house is better, isn’t it?’ Georgie asked, trying to help her see the best of it.
Chloe smiled at her friends, knowing they were only trying to help. And she loved them for it.
‘Yeah, I know… Look, he said I can invite you both round tonight for a girly night. If use fancy it?’
‘Really?’ Amanda asked.
‘Yeah. Honestly, I could do with getting drunk with you both and just… forgetting for a little while.’ Chloe said.
‘Well, count us in.’ Georgie and Amanda said at the same time.
Chloe asked Ralph to drive them to Georgie’s place and then Amanda’s so they could collect their things, then Ralph drove them to Loki’s.
‘Holy shit! This place is amazing!’ Georgie said when they walked inside.
‘Why thank you, Georgie. I’m very proud of my home.’ Loki said, startling the girls a little as they all turned around to see Loki walking out of the living room with a big smile.
‘Hi, Mr Laufeyson.’ Amanda said politely.
‘Please, just call me Loki.’ He said warmly.
‘Thanks for having us over, Loki. It’s been ages since we’ve had a good girls night.’ Georgie said.
Chloe was slightly amazed at how confident her friends seemed around Loki. But she was glad. Hoping it would help her out, too. Because she was still so damn conflicted a lot of the time.
‘There’s loads of snacks in the kitchen, alcohol too. So help yourselves. I’ve also set up the TV in the living room with an array of film options.’ Loki moved over to Chloe, cupped the back of her head and pulled her into him as he kissed her forehead. ‘Enjoy your night, girls. And you know where I am if you need me.’ He said to Chloe.
She blushed as he left them to it and went to his office. Amanda and Georgie looked at her with a look.
‘Don’t even go there.’ She hissed and pointed a finger at them.
Chloe was shocked at all the snacks Loki had gotten for them. And the film choices were every film in the world, including the new releases. She wasn’t even going to question how he managed to get good copies of them.
She enjoyed her night with her girlfriends. It was nice to just relax and have fun with them, to forget about everything else for a while and let loose with plenty of alcohol.
‘Come onnnnn, Chloe. My sex life has been dull for the last few years, so spill. He looks kinky, I bet he is into all kinds of kinky shit!’ Georgie giggled, sipping her drink.
Poor Chloe groaned and put her hands over her face.
‘Spill!’ Amanda joined in.
‘It’s… Not… I dunno. Can we just change the subject?’
‘You’re blushing! There’s something!’ Amanda screeched excitedly and jumped onto her friend. ‘Tell us!’
‘No, no, no.’ Chloe tried to push Amanda off while also trying not to spill her drink.
Eventually Chloe managed to change the subject away from Loki and his dominant, kinky side that she didn’t really want to share with her friends.
When they decided to call it a night, they all headed upstairs and were pretty drunk. Chloe gave Amanda and Georgie her bed while she took the large sofa in the corner.
But she’d forgotten one thing… Amanda was one hell of a snorer when she’d been drinking. Georgie had passed out straight away, but Chloe was struggling to get to sleep with what sounded like a pig coming from her bed.
She groaned in frustration and sat up, head in her hands. She sighed and then dragged herself off the sofa, with her blanket wrapped around her she quietly crept out of her room and down the hall. She couldn’t believe she was about to seek him out… But, well, here she was at his door now.
Taking a deep breath, she was about to knock but then decided against that in-case he was asleep. But would he want her to just enter? Would he be pissed off? Maybe she should just go back to her room, or downstairs to the living room, perhaps...
She was toying in her mind with what to do, she never heard Loki coming up behind her from down the hall. So when a hand landed on her shoulder, she let out a screech and turned around, eyes wide, but she relaxed when she saw it was Loki.
‘Sorry, doll. I didn’t mean to startle you.’ He eyed her up and down, wondering why she had a blanket wrapped around her. ‘What are you doing?’
‘I… I… couldn’t sleep. Amanda is snoring like a trooper. She always does when she’s been drinking. I was coming to see if I could… maybe… sleep with you… But then I thought you might be asleep, I didn’t want to disturb you. Then I wasn’t sure about bugging you, if you’d even want me tonight or not.’ She rambled quickly.
Loki grinned and reached out to hold her chin, he brushed his thumb against her cheek. ‘Why would I mind having you sleep with me?’
‘I… Don’t know.’ She breathed out heavily, then frowned. ‘What are you doing up at this time?’
‘I was working late on a conference call with an acquaintance in Australia. Time differences can be a pain in the ass.’ Loki put his hand to her back and opened his bedroom door, guiding her inside.
‘Do you have a lot of acquaintances all around the world?’ Chloe asked.
‘I do indeed. It can be both a blessing and a curse.’ Loki said as he started to undress.
Chloe got into his bed and got comfortable under the covers, leaving her blanket behind on the floor. She looked over and watched as he took off his tie.
‘Why?’
‘Well, it’s a blessing because it’s nice to travel, see different countries. And a curse because of nights like this, when I have to stay up late just to converse with someone.’ He looked over at her and flashed a toothy grin when he saw she was watching him somewhat intently. ‘Although, it was rather delightful to find you waiting at my bedroom door.’ He winked at her as he started undoing the buttons on his shirt.
‘Do you travel abroad often?’ Chloe asked, looking away from him, she lay down and tried to just look up at the roof.
‘Every few months or so. I have my own jet, so it’s easy enough to travel even just for shorter business trips if necessary.’ Loki said as he folded his clothes over the back of a chair and then got into bed next to her.
‘Of course you do.’ Chloe said louder than she had meant to.
‘What’s that suppose to mean?’ Loki asked as he suddenly came into her view, looming over her. His hair cascaded down, tickling her face.
‘I… I just mean that it should be expected you’d have your own jet. You seem to have everything else.’ She trailed off quietly.
Loki chuckled as he gathered her wrists into one hand and pinned them straight up above her as he leaned down and kissed her neck.
‘Mmm, I certainly do have everything.’ He chuckled against her lips.

Caught in his web, Chapter 25
TITLE: Caught in his web CHAPTER NO./ONE SHOT: Chapter 25 AUTHOR: fanficshiddles ORIGINAL IMAGINE: Imagine Loki is a crime lord, a very dangerous man in the city. He is owed money, but the man is unable to pay Loki back, so Loki takes his daughter as payment instead. RATING: M
Chloe was a trembling, sweaty and panting mess as Loki collapsed down next to her, he was a bit of a mess himself after that exercise.
She could feel his seed inside of her, slowly trickling out and making a mess of his bedsheets.
‘You are far too delightful, doll.’ Loki purred, trailing his fingers lightly across her chest.
She trembled under his touch, making him smile as he moved closer and buried his face into her hair. Breathing in deeply, enjoying her scent.
Loki pulled her in tightly to him and was delighted when she didn’t try to pull away or leave, she just snuggled up against him with a content sigh.
‘I will be out most of today, some business to attend to. If you’re wanting to go out with friends, Ralph will be on call for you. Just ask Pete to call him.’ Loki said, stroking her arm.
‘Ok… Thank you. I was hoping to meet with them before going to college. And I need to get a couple of things, is that alright?’ Chloe tilted her head back to look at him, he smiled at her and nodded.
‘Of course. You’ve got the card, it’s yours to use.’
-
‘So, how’s things with your hot sugar daddy?’ Amanda grinned.
Chloe rolled her eyes. ‘He is not my sugar daddy. Don’t even go there, that’s just… eww!’
‘He���s hot. He lavishes you with gifts. He is rich as fuck. That’s sugar daddy material right there.’ Amanda laughed, so did Georgie.
Chloe shook her head and stabbed into her lunch. ‘He is not a sugar daddy.’
‘Well, how are things going with Loki?’ Georgie asked.
‘Umm. Good, I guess. As good as things can be when you’ve been kidnapped by the most dangerous man in the city.’ Chloe shrugged.
‘Come on, Chloe. This is no normal kidnapping, you’re out and about, right now. You’ve got a boat load of money to spend. Is it really that bad?’ Amanda said.
Chloe sighed and sat back on her chair. ‘No, it’s not… But that’s the problem. It should be. I’m hating myself right now because I feel like I’m falling further and further under his spell, and I don’t know what I should be doing. I’m fed up of fighting him, because truthfully? I am starting to like being with him… I just, I just feel like it’s wrong.’
Amanda and Georgie looked sorry for her. Amanda reached out and gave her arm a squeeze.
‘It must be difficult. But… he is looking after you, you have your freedom still. I guess the only bad thing is that you don’t stay with your parents anymore. But his house is better, isn’t it?’ Georgie asked, trying to help her see the best of it.
Chloe smiled at her friends, knowing they were only trying to help. And she loved them for it.
‘Yeah, I know… Look, he said I can invite you both round tonight for a girly night. If use fancy it?’
‘Really?’ Amanda asked.
‘Yeah. Honestly, I could do with getting drunk with you both and just… forgetting for a little while.’ Chloe said.
‘Well, count us in.’ Georgie and Amanda said at the same time.
Chloe asked Ralph to drive them to Georgie’s place and then Amanda’s so they could collect their things, then Ralph drove them to Loki’s.
‘Holy shit! This place is amazing!’ Georgie said when they walked inside.
‘Why thank you, Georgie. I’m very proud of my home.’ Loki said, startling the girls a little as they all turned around to see Loki walking out of the living room with a big smile.
‘Hi, Mr Laufeyson.’ Amanda said politely.
‘Please, just call me Loki.’ He said warmly.
‘Thanks for having us over, Loki. It’s been ages since we’ve had a good girls night.’ Georgie said.
Chloe was slightly amazed at how confident her friends seemed around Loki. But she was glad. Hoping it would help her out, too. Because she was still so damn conflicted a lot of the time.
‘There’s loads of snacks in the kitchen, alcohol too. So help yourselves. I’ve also set up the TV in the living room with an array of film options.’ Loki moved over to Chloe, cupped the back of her head and pulled her into him as he kissed her forehead. ‘Enjoy your night, girls. And you know where I am if you need me.’ He said to Chloe.
She blushed as he left them to it and went to his office. Amanda and Georgie looked at her with a look.
‘Don’t even go there.’ She hissed and pointed a finger at them.
Chloe was shocked at all the snacks Loki had gotten for them. And the film choices were every film in the world, including the new releases. She wasn’t even going to question how he managed to get good copies of them.
She enjoyed her night with her girlfriends. It was nice to just relax and have fun with them, to forget about everything else for a while and let loose with plenty of alcohol.
‘Come onnnnn, Chloe. My sex life has been dull for the last few years, so spill. He looks kinky, I bet he is into all kinds of kinky shit!’ Georgie giggled, sipping her drink.
Poor Chloe groaned and put her hands over her face.
‘Spill!’ Amanda joined in.
‘It’s… Not… I dunno. Can we just change the subject?’
‘You’re blushing! There’s something!’ Amanda screeched excitedly and jumped onto her friend. ‘Tell us!’
‘No, no, no.’ Chloe tried to push Amanda off while also trying not to spill her drink.
Eventually Chloe managed to change the subject away from Loki and his dominant, kinky side that she didn’t really want to share with her friends.
When they decided to call it a night, they all headed upstairs and were pretty drunk. Chloe gave Amanda and Georgie her bed while she took the large sofa in the corner.
But she’d forgotten one thing… Amanda was one hell of a snorer when she’d been drinking. Georgie had passed out straight away, but Chloe was struggling to get to sleep with what sounded like a pig coming from her bed.

One, two, three...
Jyn is terrible at Salsa. Cassian teaches dance for a living. Bodhi ships it.
(AKA: the Salsa AU that I am 100% going to regret posting but #yolo).
Read on AO3
Chapter 1
If she’d had her way, Jyn would be at home wrapped up in a blanket burrito with tea and three seasons of Victoria.
As it was, her feet were involuntarily tapping to the beat of the music that she couldn’t understand, too hot and too tired to even try and stop it. The Muddy Farmer was always a pulsing mass on a Friday night, a wave of heat that managed to sit low over the dance floor even if it was blowing a gale outside. She still didn’t understand why an Irish pub hosted a Latin dance night of all things, but there were stranger things in the world, she supposed.
“Come onnnnn,” Bodhi had practically whined earlier that evening, attempting to forcibly unroll her from her blanket burrito. “I need a partner to dance with!”
“You know I’m shite at Salsa and half the bloody class goes out to Muddy Farmer every week,” Jyn had argued right on back. “There will be someone you know there.”
“Look,” Bodhi had huffed. “You and I both know that as soon as Luke arrives you can go home.”
“Oh no,” Jyn had shaken her head. “You said that last time, only I was forced to stay because you were too chicken to ask him out for the tenth time!”
“It’s HARD, ok?”
“He literally told you he had a crush on you.”
“…still.”
Yes, still. She still somehow ended up here, on the edges of the crowd and watching Bodhi and Luke tear up a storm across the floor. Luke Skywalker’s perfect blond hair whipped around as he span, almost blurring as Bodhi led him through the crowd. Some heads still turned at the sight, but most of the social scene was used to the two dancing by this point, not to mention that the well known masters, Baze and Chirrut, still came out every once in a while as well. The couple had been the original ones to get Bodhi into Salsa in the first place, Jyn naturally being reluctantly dragged along behind him as the dutiful best friend/roommate.
(Sometimes life just threw you curveballs).
She took another gulp of her beer, watching the steps, turns and dips. There was everything from beginners just learning to cross-body, to seasoned veterans who could spin no less than five times in a row. She could barely hear herself think over the live music, it thumping and rattling in her eardrums. The scent of greasy pub food hit her as the guy next to her at the bar ordered a basket of chips and she debated the merits of getting some herself versus just going home. She’d been here long enough now that she could probably get away with it, and Bodhi barely noticed anything when he was dancing.
Though the chips really did smell good…
In the end, the decision was made for her when someone accidentally stepped too close and shoved into another dancer. Chips went flying as they stumbled right into Chip Guy, nearly throwing him off his stool. Jyn debated the morality of eating the chip that had landed on her chest for a hot second or two, before deciding to go with the conscience and toss it aside so that she could offer to help him up.
“I’m so sorry!” the dancers exclaimed several times over.
“It’s fine, it’s fine,” Chip Guy insisted, somehow taking the battering with a smile. “Not the first time I’ve been danced into.”
“You all right, mate?” Jyn asked him.
He glanced over at her as the dancers went back to their partners. “I’m fine,” he insisted once more. “although I might need some help eating these now, my friend is weird about eating things off the floor.”
“Just don’t tell him, who has to know?”
He thankfully laughed a little, offering the basket up to her. Figuring it would be rude not to take one at this point, she quickly shoved a chip into her mouth, suddenly wishing that she’d actually made an effort to look decent that night, rather than stubbornly remain in her dirty jeans and t-shirt combo. The guy looked vaguely familiar, which was confirmed when he then asked her,
“I think I’ve seen you around, what’s your name again?”
“Jyn,” she said around her chips. “I’ve seen you too, I’m pretty sure.”
“I’m Cassian,” he replied. “Sorry if I’ve told you before, I’m pretty bad with names and there’s a lot of people–”
“Oh god, don’t even worry about it,” Jyn insisted. “You don’t need a name to dance so I forget everyone pretty much as soon as they introduce themselves.”
He smiled in solidarity. “I know a lot of faces, and I know a lot of names, but I’m at the point where I don’t know which name goes with which face.”
“That’s exactly it.”
“You don’t come out often, right?”
“Nah, only when the flatmate drags me,” Jyn gestured across the dance floor. “Do you know Bodhi?”
“Oh, THAT’S Bodhi!” Cassian said, face lighting up in recognition. “I’ve actually spoken to him several times! Good guy, although I had no idea what his name was until now.”
Jyn found herself wanting to laugh a little, which was clearly the strangest sensation she could ever feel on a Friday night when she should be at home alone with her historical dramas. She certainly knew of Cassian before now, even if she hadn’t ever properly spoken to him before. He was apparently from Mexico, he was pretty damn cute and he was insanely good at Salsa. She had danced with him a couple times as they’d all switched partners during the classes that Bodhi had forced her to do with him, and she could remember the way he had shaken her hands, claiming that she was way too tense, and how he had taught her how to switch the tension to her arms so that her frame stayed locked and easy to lead. He had been easy to chat to and easily her favourite to dance with…
But the thing with favourites is that she wasn’t the only one. Cassian insisted on her continuing to help him eat the contaminated chips and she noticed the eyes from across the pub, people wondering and craning heads, trying to figure out who she was and why she was the one who got to sit and eat with Cassian the Infamously Amazing Dancer. She tried to focus on what she was saying, answering her question of what she did as a job, instead of acknowledging Bodhi who was practically hollering at Luke at the sight.
“It’s not that interesting,” she tore her eyes away. “but I’ve got good work colleagues so it’s not too bad.”
“Are you kidding? It’s so cool you work in a police station!”
“Admin doesn’t solve murders, remember?” she said.
“Still,” Cassian pointed out. “You’re Gina from Brooklyn Nine-Nine.”
Jyn nearly choked on her chip.
“I don’t – I don’t think I’m quite like Gina,” she coughed. “Although to be fair, she is an inspiration to all.”
“I love that show.”
“Me too,” Damn it, she was smiling too much. Their basket of chips was nearly empty now as she asked, “So what’s your job?”
“I teach dance.”
“Never would have guessed that,” Jyn said, dryly.
Cassian laughed (god, he was cute when he laughed). “Not just Salsa, other styles too,” he added. “I actually mostly teach kids classes, although sometimes I help out with the adult ones if there’s an instructor away or an uneven amount of people or something.”
“I bet there are kids even better at dancing than I am.”
“There are some kids better than me,” Cassian pointed out. “Still… I think we demolished these chips, by the way.”
She glanced down at them. “Oh, definitely. Your friend won’t be pissed we ate them all?”
“He’ll be pissed, he’ll get over it. Want to dance?”
“Oh–” Fucking shit. He was holding out his hand and jumping down from his bar stool and suddenly she wished she hadn’t eaten quite so much. “but we just ate–”
“We’ll burn off the calories.”
“I’m honestly shit at Salsa, like I could barely keep up with the beginners class–”
“If I do my job and lead you properly, then you’ll be fine I promise.”
Jyn reluctantly slid off her stool. “And if you fuck up?”
Cassian smiled.
“I’ll buy you a drink to go with the chips.”
She… couldn’t argue that.
So despite her better judgement, she ended up taking his hand and following him to a relatively spare space within the dance floor. She hoped to god that Bodhi wasn’t still witnessing this because she would no doubt never hear the end of it, although it was kind of the least of her worries. There were too many things cycling through her head to pay attention to much else. She prayed that she didn’t fuck up her ankles in these heels, she hoped that no one accidentally stood on her or that she didn’t crash into anyone. Hell, she begged to all the primordial forces out there that she didn’t just fuck up in general.
At least the basic step she could do.
Cassian held her hands as she concentrated on getting the beat right – 1-2-3, 5,6,7 – and she could feel the sweat starting to gather at her hairline already. She practically held her breath during the first turn and he shook his head once she was back facing him once more.
“I can practically feel the anxiety coming off you,” he pointed out.
It was always hard to talk on the dance floor, what with the cacophony of the live band, people talking, glasses clinking and bar stools scraping. However, Cassian had made the effort to yell over it all and so she felt compelled to reply.
“That is a skill I am proud of, I’ll have you know,” she yelled back.
He just snorted. Instead of stepping forward he stepped back on the next bar, moving them through an open break turn and not even pausing before swapping their hands and leading her through a cross-body turn. “See?” he pointed out once she had thankfully not keeled over. “It comes naturally, you can do it!”
Ok, maybe a part of her knew it.
She knew she wasn’t absolutely completely fucking terrible, as she was determined to make it seem. She wasn't great either, but after a few of the beginners classes she had found herself picking up the rhythm. She struggled with anything fast, but eventually learned how to make her steps smaller and tighter. She wasn't bad…it was just hard to not compare herself when she was fully aware of the fact that she was currently partnered with an actual goddamn dance teacher. He moved into a close hold, hand curving up to rest between her shoulder blades as he swept her around and she tried to ignore the heartbeat currently slamming in her throat. This was supposed to be fun. She was supposed to be swept up into the music, uncaring of those around her, just moving and feeling. She could be fun, goddamn it! She supposed the tension in her arms was good at least for something as he continued to lead her this way and then that, changing the line depending on the crowd. With so many people, it was impossible to not stand on someone occasionally. She ended up half gasping, half laughing when Cassian lead her in a cross-body turn and she ended up slamming right into someone she recognised from Bodhi’s dance classes.
“Oh, shit!” she mouthed to Cassian once the initial apologies were over.
“You ok?”
“I am,” she answered. “I don’t think my shoes are. Shit, do I actually have a dent in it?”
They took a moment to pause and glance down at where the other woman had literally stomped down on the back of her heel. Sure enough, running her fingers over the dance shoes that she had bought second hand online she could feel a dip. She grabbed his hand without thinking to ensure that he could feel it too, and she gripped his arm to keep her balance as she stood up on one foot.
“You have battle wounds now,” he teased.
“I guess so–”
She hastily cut herself off as the latest song apparently finished and her yelling was suddenly much louder as the music faded. The crowd cheered and they both clapped politely, several people leaving the dance floor, others coming to join. It was a mass of movement and Jyn hovered awkwardly for a moment, unsure of what she was supposed to do now. Etiquette said that they should thank each other for the dance before going and finding someone else, but some weird part of her knew a fucking vibe when it saw it, and wasn’t denying that it wanted to stay. For a wild moment it looked like he wanted to stay too, but unfortunately the next song that was strung up sounded off, and it took her several moments to click.
“Oh,” she screwed up her face. “this isn’t Salsa anymore, is it?”
“No, this is Bachata,” Cassian nodded.
“Christ,” she sighed. “I don’t know how to Bachata at all.”
“Do you know the basic step?”
Jyn cringed at the memory of the one Bachata dance she had attempted, the last time she had been dragged out social dancing alongside Bodhi. Thank god it had been with him. If it had been with anyone else she might have died of mortification, but remembering how she had awkwardly attempted to move her hips the right way made her want to throw up a little.
“It’s 1-2-3-hip or something, right? Or is it a tap, I can’t remember–”
“It just depends on which style you’re using, but honestly,” Cassian shrugged, tugging on her hands once more. “Just move your body, and you’ll be great.”
He started moving then as if to prove his point in the basic side to side motion that Jyn had to actively think about in order not to mess up. All around them, couples were already pressing up against each other’s bodies, rolling and grinding. Jyn was pretty sure that wasn’t the traditional Bachata, but then again much of her internal meltdown was probably because she was certain her hips just simply didn’t not move that way. She didn’t even realise how much she was glancing around anxiously until she caught Bodhi’s eye only several couples away. Now dancing with a girl that she recognised from classes with long brown braids, he mouthed at her in astonishment,
“WHAT THE FUCK?”
“I DON’T KNOW.”
“THAT’S CASSIAN!”
Thanks, mate. She had no idea.
She was pulled away from the non-verbal conversation when Cassian lead her into what was probably one of the most simplest turns she’d ever had to do and yet she still somehow managed to botch it. Stepping with the wrong foot, she ended up on the wrong timing and exclaimed in frustration,
“Sorry! I told you I don’t know what I’m doing!”
He stopped them. For a moment her heart pounded, sure he was about to politely call it quits and send her packing across the dance floor so that he could sweep up some other woman into his arms… except instead, he steadied her with his hands sliding down to her hips.
“You think you’re terrible, fine,” he started to grin. “Crash course in Bachata.”
He started counting. His hands moved her hips with the beat of the song and shit, if she had blood, it was currently rushing to her face. Was anyone watching this? Another quick glance around however showed her that Bodhi had apparently already moved on and was now totally absorbed in having fun dancing with his friend and that literally no one else gave a shit. While a little disappointing to know no one cared, it was also admittedly… liberating to know that she could thrust her hips as awkwardly as she liked and no one would make fun of her for it. It took a while, but soon they were adding in the footwork and then her hands were being picked up again, the two of them finally having found their rhythm.
“That’s it!” he said, happily.
She wasn’t quite sure how the knot in her throat managed to dissipate (and to be honest, she didn’t think it was going to entirely go away) but she did feel a hell of a lot better than when she had first stepped out onto the dance floor, and that said something. This time when Cassian led her in a turn, her feet automatically kept up the rhythm and she found herself with her back to him, arms crossed in front of her as he kept a hold of her hands. 1-2-3-tap, 1-2-3-tap…
It was slower than Salsa, which helped, not to mention less spinning like a top and more turning within his arms. When she was eventually brought back around to face him, he span himself before moving in and bringing her into a close hold. Jesus Christ. This close, their legs overlapped to avoid their knees banging into each other, and it may or may not have been causing a slight heart attack, she still wasn’t sure. They moved in a 360, around and around until she was let go and allowed to breathe again.
Maybe it was her mind just wrecking havoc inside her, but it almost felt lighter inside the pub now. She supposed it was the atmosphere of connecting with the person in front of you and tuning out the rest, or at least it was certainly hard to concentrate on anything else. She could imagine that drink Cassian had promised her, imagine that they danced together every weekend, that his hands sliding against her hips were familiar to her and that the chest she was pressed against was always warm and solid. She felt like she could let go and just fucking dance, and she wondered whether maybe he could feel it too. She was pulled into his body once more, his arms lifting hers up before his fingertips traced back down her sides. She slung her arms around his neck, her body settled firmly on his thigh. After a moment he bent her back so that she swung around, Jyn letting her head tilt back so that she could see the ceiling of the pub and the ends of her hair brushed against his arms. Pulled back up, she smiled into his shoulder.
He must have recognised the song enough to know when the end was coming. After feeling his leg sliding between hers, after swinging her hips in time with his, he eventually turned her around and with her back pressed to this chest, brought each of her arms up and over his head. Leaning to the side to see her, Jyn realised that he had ended their dance with perfect timing, left standing with their noses inches from each other, hands still clutched in his behind his head as they struggled to breathe. Jyn might have ignored all the polite claps and cheers for the band, might have even had the guts to say a giant fuck it in her head before closing the distance between them –
– when suddenly, her phone started buzzing in her pocket.
“Oh – shit, I’m sorry–” She pulled away and he hastily snatched back his hands, taking a step back. One glance at the caller made her stomach sink. “Fuck – I have to answer this – but thank you for the dance and the chips, it was really good! The dance, I mean, the chips too but the dance was – fuckity fuck–”
She made for the exit before she could glance back and see what was no doubt utter bemusement left on Cassian’s face. She hit answer on the way, finally speaking once she was outside the pub and out on the cold city street.
“Hey, Papa,” she said, wrapping her spare arm around her like it could retain the heat of the dance floor. “what’s up?”
“Jyn! My darling daughter–”
“Yeah, yeah,” Despite her slight disappointment, she smiled a little at hearing her father’s voice. She also heard rustling and clicking, along with Galen cursing under his breath every now and then.
“You aren’t busy, are you?” he asked. “I know it's kind of late, I can call back later or tomorrow even–”
“Nah, it’s fine, I’m just out with Bodhi,” Jyn immediately said. “How are you?”
“Oh, I’m grand – got the new T.V. finally!”
“The T.V. you’ve been meaning to buy ever since it went on sale two months ago, you mean?” Jyn teased.
“Har, har, you know how I am with crowds,” her dad scoffed. “I’m just trying to connect it now, but turns out it’s harder than I thought. There’s so many damn cords and – shite – I’m no good at this sort of thing at all! Technology was all your mother’s territory–”
She just knew what it must be like, her dad sat in the middle of a pile of cables, pretending to be ok with the fact that he didn’t have a wife to help him with this kind of thing anymore. He had been doing reasonably ok since the funeral – or rather as ok as anyone would have expected him to be – but he still called every day and there were still moments Jyn knew he was really only calling because he needed to have her near, rather than because he actually needed her help. She closed her eyes a moment, making the decision before her mind could consciously think about it.
“You’re terrible, Papa. Need me to come help?”
“You wouldn’t help an old man, would you?”
“I’ll be there soon,” she told him.
She hung up quickly so that she could give Bodhi a call to explain. He eventually picked up in the bathroom, still not entirely quiet, but at least able to hear what he was saying. “I gotta go help my dad,” she explained. “You all right if I leave?”
“I’m totally fine – are you, though?”
“Oh, you know,” she let out a long breath. “I think I might have to take up Bachata lessons again, mate.”
“I fucking saw you dancing with Cassian, SHIT, Jyn!” She could just imagine Bodhi practically hopping up and down in glee.
She smiled despite herself.
“Shit sounds about right.”

As always if you want added to the tag list, let me know! Thanks for reading :)
“El, come onnnnn. Lighten up, Leo and I have moved past everything, its time you did too.” Aria whines, while grabbing onto Leos arm pulling herself closer to him. Ellie eyes The duo curiously. “Ellie, I know I put you in a terrible position after, well, everything in Europe, but I genuinely hope we can move forward.” Leo extends his hand turning on his charm. “Ok fine,! But if you hurt her again I will hunt you down and chop off your dick myself. ” Ellie threatened as she shook his hand.The waitress pulls up two more chairs and takes Aria and Leos order. “Ill have 6 honey barbecue boneless and a Pepsi.” Aria ordered. “What are your hottest wings? Leo questioned the waitress. ” homicide,they are very hot. “ she informed him. "Ill have those and a Heineken please.” Aria eyes Leo, you sure you can handle those Rhys? They are super hot.“ Leo shoots her a cocky grin "I think ill be able to handle them.”
The group engages in idle chit chat about whats been going on in each others lives the past few months before the waitress comes back with their food. Everyone eyes fall on Leo as he picks up his first wing. He rips off a hunk of chicken and chews not even breaking a sweat. He finishes the first with no problem. “They have a kick, but I have had hotter.” He takes a sip of his beer. Aria giggles “that’s why your super man.”
They finish their food and rob and Liz take off. “Hey, lets go visit Daniel.” Aria begged. She had not seen him since she left and she was wondering how he and Gary were doing with the wedding plans. “You know I hate that place, but Daniel has a heavy hand, fuck it lets go.” Ellie agrees as they jump up. . Leo pulls Aria closer “so where exactly are we going?” He asked. “A bar.. the one I worked at before I left for Cordonia.” They pull into the parking lot of the bar and wait a few minutes for Jay and Ellie to get there. Jay had a street bike as well, but wasn’t as skilled a driver as Leo was. They finally pull in. “Dude that’s a sweet bike.” Jay admired which turned into a full on conversation between Jay and Leo about bikes and the motocross circuit “If you two ladies want to sit out here and gab all night, Ellie and I are going to go get a drink.” Aria hollered motioning between the two. Leo grinned as he slid up to her side putting his arm around her waist. “My apologies beautiful, shall we.” He motioned with his other hand to lead the way.
They walk in and Daniel looks up from the counter. “Well look at what they cat dragged in, come here.” He ran up to give her a hug. “Hey everyone Aria’s in the house.” He shouted, the bar erupted with cheers. Many of her regulars she served were there. “Something of a celebrity here I see.” Leo leaned in close kissing her cheek. Aria smiled “This is home, this was my life. I spent almost every night with many of them.” She planted a kiss on his lips. “Hey Dan, Ronnie in?” She asked. “Nope.” Daniel informed her as he poured a beer. “Good, let me behind that bar, hey El Alabama slammer?.” She questioned her friend. “Hell yeah! Im gonna go grab a booth.” Ellie nods her head and walks off Aria saunters behind the bar.
Leo pulls up a chair. He watches her grab bottles of liquor pouring them skillfully into each glass. “So spill. Who’s the hottie?” Daniel gushed glancing over in Leos direction. “Easy there tiger, aren’t you engaged.” Aria chuckled. “Yeah, but you gotta appreciate a good looking guy, and that one is FINE.” Daniel fanned himself with his hand. “That’s Leo, my ex. And current, im not even sure what we are. I guess Friends with benefits? She knew that it was more then just sex between them but could not find the right words. . “What happened to Liam, that was his name right, the prince.” Daniel eyed her curiously. She had wrote him a few emails but had not updated since Liam chose Madeline. He is marrying an uber cunt. Were figuring things out. Oh Leo is his brother.” She rushes her words, regretting them as soon as they came out. Daniel gives her a stern look. “So let me get this right, Liam is a prince, which makes Leo a prince too. You used to date Leo, and then almost married his brother, and you’re here with him now?” Daniel shakes his head “Jesus Ari what have you gotten yourself into?” “Correction Liam is a king, Leo is the former crown prince but abdicate, hes still a prince by birth right. And yes, im currently fucking him. Wanna know anything else Dan?” Aria snaps. Daniel puts his hands up in defeat as Aria grabs the drinks she made,handing Leo his as they make their way to the booth. “Were gonna need a few applebombs Dan, can you bring em out in a few?” She shouts over her shoulder.
Ellie gulps her drink down fast “man I missed how good you make them.” She said sliding her empty cup across the table. “You know how strong I make them, you may wanna pace yourself or you’ll fall off the back of Jays bike.” Aria giggles. “What no shots?” Ellie pouts. “What am I new? I already told Daniel.: She slouched back in her chair. After a few drinks Ellie grabs Arias hand and they make their way to the dance floor. Leaving Leo to chat with Jay. He liked Jay, he was a decent guy and knew a lot about motorcycles and racing. He even knew of Leo from the racing circuit. Leo sipped his beer as he watched her move around the dance floor with her best friend. She was smiling, laughing and singing along with the words to every song that came on. A familiar feeling came over him, it was the exact way he felt all those years ago, watching her be carefree and having fun. He loved her, he never stopped loving her. He pushed it down, even marrying Katie he wished it was her. When danced with her at the Masquerade ball in Cordonia he felt it and he didn’t know it was her, not until he had the PI find out who she was. He loved her, of that he was always sure, but this feeling was more he was head over heels for her. He needed to tell her and soon.
They came back to the table, Ellie was already pretty drunk, she took a sip of Arias Malibu bay breeze “so Leo, you were married huh.” Ellie says with a bit of sarcasm. “I was, it did not work out.” Leo takes a swig of his beer, avoiding eye contact. “Did you have any kids?” She questioned. “No, thankfully Katie and I did not. I only ever thought of myself having children with one person.” His eyes flashed to Aria, her blush hidden with the already redness of her hot face. Ellie picking up on his subtle hint snorted. “That’s to bad, you could ha-” “Ellie, enough.” Aria warned, her voice dropped low and serious. Leo looked between both women, something Ellie mentioned, Aria did not want her to finish. Just then Jay comes up pulling Leo away “Hey some guys I know are fans they wanna meet you, come on.”
As soon as Leo was gone Aria whipped around her eyes never leaving Ellie’s face “what the hell do you think you’re doing bringing that up?” Arias tone stern, her stare was cold, a sad trait she picked up from her time in the courtly life. “Damn, look at you. I guess being around royalty has made you grow some balls.” Ellie spit back. “You know that is something I never want to think about, why would you say that in front of him?” Aria seethed. “Jeeze, sorry I wasn’t thinking. You know you really should tell him. One day, he has the right to know.” Ellie got up to get a refill leaving Aria alone to ponder Ellie’s words. She knew she should tell him, it had been weighing on her for 5 years, if she was going to move forward with either him or Liam she needed to Cleanse herself of old baggage. She would tell him just not here.
Leo, Ellie and Jay made their way back to the table. The mood started to lighten and the drinks kept coming. They settled into a nice groove, laughing and sharing stories. Aria rested her hand on Leo’s thigh, inching it closer every few minutes. A sly grin forms on his face. She moves her hand Dangerously close to the crotch of his pants, she can feel him grow against his jeans. He turns and drops his voice “what are you doing Beautiful?” “I have no idea what you are talking about handsome. ” she feigned innocence. “Ok, if that’s how you wanna play it.” He dips his hand under the table making his way in between Arias legs, he ran his fingers across her sex, she could feel the heat start to pool. She held back a moan as he continued to rub between her legs. She was so sure she had a wet spot by now. They were both so caught up in each other they didn’t notice Jay and Ellie leave the booth. Not wanting to have an orgasm right there she moved her hand away from his crotch above the table to grab her drink. She needed to cool down after that. He keeps his hand on her thigh his body facing her, she raises her glass taking a long sip from the straw. A familar song plays, she tilts her head back “ohh I love this song.” She sings along
Same streets, same party Drowning their problems in Bacardi Same people still talking Oh, I’m so over it, I’m sorry Baby, you and me could leave right now Ditch all your friends, the guy you came with Get to know you where it ain’t so loud Just you and me alone on some old moonlit road But the two of us could disappear Just say the word and get out of here Baby, you and me could leave right now
He stares at her wide eyed and stunned. “You have a Beautiful voice love, how did I not know you could sing?” “hmm I guess its just not something that most people know.” She sips her drink humming the rest of the words to herself. “Dance wit me Leo.” Aria jumps up holding her hand out, He takes it and they head to the dance floor. He pulls her close as their bodies sway to the music.Leo sings along with the chorus.
Baby, you and me could leave right now Ditch all your friends, the guy you came with Get to know you where it ain’t so loud Just you and me alone on some old moonlit road But the two of us could disappear Just say the word and get out of here Baby, you and me could leave right now Meet me out back if you like how that sounds
His voice smooth and sexy, she felt weak in the knees. She didn’t know he could sing. My god another to love about him. She was a goner, if she had any walls left they were completely gone now. She grabbed his hand and they made their way out the door to his bike. Leo twirls her around grabbing her by the small of her back, his other hand brushing her hair behind her ear. His lips crashed down on hers, their lips part and their tongues dance together, fighting for dominance. He pulls back reluctantly, leaving her breathless and light headed. “Come on, I want to show you something.” He hands her a helmet and they drove off into the city that never sleeps.

LMAO, TU HAI KAUN AISI GUARANTEE DENE KO??????? ANIKA GAADI HAI KYA AUR TU USKA DEALER?
yup, he was gonna say “main shaadi ALREADY kar chuka hoon” but caught himself in time in order to not complicate matters for her wrt marrying nikhil.
BUT ARE NIKHIL AND HIS MOTHER BLIND? CAN’T THEY SEE SHE’S WEARING SINDOOR???????? SHE’S OBVIOUSLY MARRIED TO SOMEONE. you gotta be reaaaalllll dumb to not figure this shit out, you two.
lmfao ok i think i might be a fan of nikhil’s mummy for that parting shot of doosron ko gyaan dena bada asaan hai.
ohhhhhhhh man. these three are gonna be hellllllllla mad when they find out.
“kya kaha tuney???”
anika ke maan-sammaan-khushiyon ka rakshak is onnnnn the case!
pfffffffffffft. iski shakl se hi pata nahi chalta ki kya kiya isne?
you three were dumbasses to think that. they need SUPERVISED MEDIATION. aise akele chodoge toh aisa hi hoga.
UGH SHIVAAY YOU ARE LITERALLY THE WORST. HAR SHAADI TUM KO ZABARDASTI HI KARWAANI HAI, MAJAAAAAL HAI JO TUM DULHAN SE POOCHO KI USSE KYA CHAHIYE.
srsly, i am nikhil’s mom, who’s like why the fuckkkkk are you so involved in anika and nikhil’s shaadi. tu apna dekh na.
great, he’s ready to fund it also. ek kaam kar, anika ka kanyaadaan bhi tu hi kar. itnaaaaaaa shauk jo chadha hai.
yeah i have had it up to here with stupid singh oberoi. ugh.
^^^^^ that’s the point i stopped watching at on the 16th. i literally rolled my eyes so damn hard that i decided it was better for my health if i gave up.
okay! let’s try again!
this nikhil ki ma is such a meesni. die bitch.
ohhohohoho, anika is MOST definitely going to find about this eventually aur tab beta, tumhari khair nahi. i hope OU anika ki atma gets into her and she fucken beats you to death with her broken chameli.
is anika ko job milkar kya faida? iske personal life ke chonchlon se isko time hi kahaan milta hai job par jaane ke liye?
ugh why are you even picking up this idiot’s call??? you’re 0.0% interested in him.
lmao gauri’s face.
and gauri’s expression being paralleled here on shivaay’s face.
DAMN GIRL THE EXCITEMENT. WHO IN THIS DAY AND AGE IS EVER THIS EXCITED TO GET AN ACTUAL PHONE CALL?
lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooo oh man nikhil, samajh jao apni aukaat aur haisiyat.
... what’s with the weird split-screening? that too, not perfectly in the middle and gauri’s awkwardly to the side and half cut off? matlab...???????
adorable munchkin. too cute, too pure.
lol that "whooooooo boy” expression shivaay gave after nikhil left.
holllllllly shit what’s with the hella bad green screen behind him???? that’s soooooooooo not the view outside anika’s house???
anika honestly girl, calm the fuck down.
or don’t and tell him the truth; that you’re majorly into him.
OH SHIT. OH NO SHE’S GONNA THINK HE MEANS HIS AND HER SHAADI WHILE THIS FUCKING IDIOT MAN IS TALKING ABOUT NIKHIL OH GOD AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I CAN’T WATCH THIS I CAN’TTTTTTTTTT
JFC FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YOU SHIVAAAY THIS IS FUCKING ENTRAPMENT. HONESTLY FUCK YOU TO THE DEPTHS OF HELL MAN. IDGAF ABOUT YOUR GOOD INTENTIONS. THIS IS BULLSHIT.
oh noooooooooo my poor girl she’s so happy oh god nooooooooooo.
JFC SHIVAAY YOU FUCKING IDIOT ARE YOU SO CLUELESS THAT YOU DON’T REALISE THAT THIS WOMAN IS HUGGING YOU IN AN ENTIRELY NON “DOST“ WAY RN????????????????///
oh suddenly he realises that perhaps he shouldn’t be hugging another man’s woman in this way.
notice neither of them are moving to untangle themselves though. still remaining all pressed up against each other. and you dumb fucks still say you don’t know “kya hai humaare beech”.
sure. extreeeeeemely appropriate behaviour and manner of looking at a woman whose wedding you’re organizing to another man. A+. keep it up.
all i can do at this point is hope gauri’s secretly taking pics and will make a presentation of her own at the next wedding attempt to nikhil.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaand he ruined it.
sidenote: this is a nakuul smile, not a shivaay smile.
cute smile aside, i really wanna slapppppp shivaay for how giddily happy he’s being at his own stupidity. matlab self-awareness naam ki cheez is bande ke aas-paas bhi nahi bhatki hai.
anika, now would be a good time to take off your chameli. and channel all that khidkitodness you claim to possess.
we already knew nikhil and his whole fam were shadyass fuckers. ainvayi ka dramatic reveal they’re showing, as if any of this is a completeeeee surprise to any of us.
ANIKA WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? YEH TOH CHUTIYA HAI HI, WHY CAN’T YOU JUST STRAIGHT UP TELL HIM THAT YOU DON’T GIVE A SINGLE FUCK ABOUT NIKHIL?????? YOU DIDN’T EVEN THE FIRST TIME AROUND, LET ALONE NOW.
... after happily leaping into his arms thinking he was proposing marriage, she’s saying “mujhe nahi pata meri khushi kis mein hai”??????????? godddddddddd she’s an even bigger fucking idiot than he is.
OMFG IS MANDHBUDDHI KI BAKCHODI KHATAM NAHI HUI HE’S NOW GETTING DOWN ON HIS KNEES TO PROPOSE.... FOR NIKHIL.
“mujhse shaadi karogi, anika?”
aaaaaahaaa. freudian slip.
lmaoooooooo “bohut khush rakhunga main... nikhil... NIKHIL!” sure boo. ek baar hua, woh galti thi. baar baar jo hota hai... chalo chodo. tumse bolke bhi kya faayda.
TFW you really can’t tell who the bigger idiot is in your relationship.
... great. just great. yeh log bhi aa gaye. AUR CHACHI BHI. UGH.
yup. i am that literal full body shudder that anika does every single time nikhil touches her. ICK. GET YO GRUBBY HANDS OFF MY GIRL.
caaaaaaaasual smiley threat from shivaay about how he’ll literally destroy nikhil if he fucks up. best.
they are me and i am them. not amused by any of this garbage.
has this chachi really sudharofied? dare i hope? in any case, her toning down her overall personality is very much welcome.
SHIVAAY I... YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU DID WHAT YOU HAVE TO, NOW PLEASE, JUST LITERALLY GTFO HERE. UGH.
jali. billu ki jali. itni der tak idk where his fucking brain was, but it’s finally hit him.
haan jaa beta, maarofy your hasty exit. go rub your literally aching chest somewhere else.
god you poor dumbass. i don’t even... ugh shivaaaaaaay, what are we even going to do with youuuuuu??????????
also sorry for untimely tharak but this blue suit is realllllllllllly working on him. especially in this lighting. brings out his eyes nicely.
also, somehow the makeup or whatever is better in this scene? his eyebags aren’t so prominent.
oh boy. khuddar waali anika jaag gayi hai. she’s come to question.
“kyunki sab kuch aap decide karte hain na? na aapne mujhe tab poocha tha jab aapne mujhse zabardasti shaadi ki, na tab poocha jab aapne shaadi ko maanne se inkaar kiya, na aapne mujhse tab poocha jab divorce papers thamaa diye, na ab jab aapne nikhil aur uske maa se meri shaadi ki baat ki.”
YAS CALL HIM THE FUCK OUT.
“kyunki tum meri.... DOST ho.”
LMAO. APPROPRIATE RESPONSE.
“meri shaadi ko dus din nahi hue... aur mera DOST meri doosri shaadi karwaana chahta hai. aapko lagta hai yeh sahi hai??”
GIRL YES FUCKING MURDER HIM.
ah fuck. he’s losing it and almost in tears. fuck i’m kinda melting. he’s trying so hard. he’s objectively wrong, but he’s TRYING SO HARD.
NO. DO NOT LEAVE IT ON FUCKING KISMAT, USE YOUR FUCKING BIG GIRL WORDS AND TELL HIM YOU DON’T WANNA MARRY FUCKING NIKHIL. JFC ANIKA.
ugh you two idiotssssssssssssss.
lord this tu jaane na makes me want to stab myself in the eye with a rusty fork. the music of this whole redux truly sucks ass.
17.08.18
LMAO OM AS USUAL COMES THROUGH FOR ALL OF US, WITH THE FUCKING DISBELIEF AND RAGE AND WANTING TO THROTTLE BILLU.
same here with gauri. god bless my sensible little chirraiyya. anika for fucks’ sake listen to her. honestly.
lmao rikara’s faces at the whole “kismat” nonsense. tell me they take things into their own hands and become the “kismat” writers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... itna toh yeh prinku ke shaadi ke liye bhi utaavla nahi tha jitna khud ki biwi ki shaadi karwaane ke liye ho raha hai. someone get this man some help.
at least these two are having their fun!
also tell me they have some kinda plan in place, and that’s why they’re so chill and happy.
snort.
oh boy. dramatic music says something’s gonna happen with the lights.
yup. isko jhatka lagne waala hai. in more ways than one; but right now mostly of the electric kind.
oh ho nope! doosra jhatka first!
sure. the way every wedding planner looks at the bride. like they wanna marry them themselves.
god bless prinku and her sass 4ever.
and these two and their beautiful faces! honestly, masha’Allah.
“aapke bhaiyya satiyaa gayein hain. kya kar kya rahein hain????” lmaooooooooo
OMFG OMKI SHOMKI FINALLY MAKING SOME KINDA FUCKING MOVE. GODBLESS, HALLELUJAH!
YES THEY’RE GONNA BE LIVING HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE BUT RIKARA LIVING UNDER THE SAME ROOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!
lmao anika’s also started daant chabaana at this man and his fuckery.
no literally who the fuck are all these fucking guests??????
OH MY GOD MY GIRL LOOKS SOOOOOO GOOOOOD.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am literally putting nazar ka teeka on my laptop screen coz god, how beautiful are they!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“tum theek ho?” eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, lo, the 4 Lions “i love you” bhi ho gaya!
lolololol she’s the cutest.
oh ho, this prinku is on “tu” basis with rudra. meaning they’re around the same age.
also finally, a throwaway line explaining where rudra is!
god he looks so hot today, i can’t.
lolllllllllllllllll prinkuuuuuuuuuuu. you really do thrive off putting your brothers in the most uncomfortable situations ever, and that too with the most insouciant look on your face. I FUCKING LOVE IT.
HOW DARE YOU TWO BE THIS BEAUTIFUL?????????? I CAN’T EVEN LOOK AT YOU STRAIGHT, IT’S LIKE LOOKING AT THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this girl also looking like fire today. the makeup is especially good. i love the glittery blue liner!
of course. also situation is kinda sorta chaapofied from ipk.
lmaoooooooooooooooo her face.

omkara: relax aunty, galti se hua hai.
“kuch galtiyaan kitni khoobsurat hoti hai!”
lmaooooooooooooooooooooooo she really is the best.
AAAAAAAAAND THAT’S WHAT YOU CALL “KISMAT” BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as much as i’m relishing her snark in pointing it out to him, i’m also mad as hell at her for going through with this garbage. ab kahaan gayi teri saari khuddaari bish???? you just gonna do whatever the fuck one man or the other keeps pushing you into????
ugh nikhil literally fuck off. can’t you see two beautiful people were having a moment here? no place here for uggos like you.
ugh this sad puppy. oh shivaay what even do we do with you??????
god i love omkara and his common sense and his not mincing his words. SO MUCH. words can’t even describe. #omkaraisbae
(gosh i haven’t used that hashtag since like, the late 2016s???? i missed it!)
oh suddenly NOW they notice the sindoor. she’s been wearing it for all these days with no maang tika or anything to cover it, tab kya aankhon mein button lage hue the sab ke?????
... and the purpose of this is????????????????
LMAO HOW IS THIS ANY BETTER???? LIKE OK YOU STOPPED HER FROM TELLING THE SECRET BUT SHE LITERALLY RAN OVER TO YOU AND IS FUSSING OVER YOU NOT GIVING A SINGLE FUCK ABOUT NIKHIL AND HIS FAM.
waise they should be used to it by now, na? pehli shaadi mein bhi toh isne yehi kiya tha.
son honestly. what are you even doing. why are you fucking like this???
wow he gave up his own room for her to stay in? or are they staying together till the shaadi or...??? like scene kya hai boss???
billu this bs martyr complex of yours is getting reallllllly tiresome now.
oh god noooooooooooooo not the fucking sindoor too. don’t you fucking dare!!!!!!!!
oh gooood. she called him out on it. literally doing whatever the fuck he wants with zero thoughts on what those symbols mean to her. fucking dumbass.
“meri maang, mera sindoor, meri marzi main lagaoon ya na lagaoon...” GIRL IF YOU CAN BE SO ASSERTIVE RE: ALL THIS WHY THE FUCK CAN’T YOU JUST SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE FARCE??????????? HONESTLY, MORE THAN SHIVAAY, YOU ARE GETTING ON MY LAST DAMN NERVE RN.

sherlock ep 1 a study in pink livewatch
for the first livewatch of 2021 (and the first liverewatch), we’re taking a look at something i saw exactly 4 years ago! now that i’ve written my own sherlock holmes inspired story, the show will be a lot more interesting than it was in 2017 (hopefully). let’s dive right in! :D
this starts out with GUNS WAR SCREAMING DEAD NO
poor john :(
what a bleak flat :(
ooh laptop
i hope sherlock will be able to brighten up his life :)
OMG DAS THE BLOG!!!!
dere he is! :D
john has a therapist just like monk! :D
also he and molly’s dad from ag both have ptsd and the blog is to help cope with that... i wonder if molly’s dad had something similar like a journal (he had knitting which would help john’s shaky hands)
john: “nothing happens to me.” oh really? ;)
cool dramatic intro :D
the wheel is a dan and phil reference! :D
REDRUM ALERT REDRUM ALERTT!!!!!
poor wife :(
aww john is alone in the rain! :(
REDRUM RED RUM!!!!!
ooh blackberry! :D
a lady said ‘ignore the texts’ and that makes sense since ya know THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE LISTENING TO LESTRADE
these other people are cool and all but give me more john plz!!!!
ooh john has a friend before sherlock! :o
why does his friend look like his dad
OH HELLO MR
HE’S SLAPPING SOMETHING AND IT’S THE MOST HILARIOUS THING EVER OMG :D
the lady is super confused too like ‘???’
oh he’s checking for bruises it still funny tho ;D
of course he wants black coffee
the first thing sherlock does is ask john for his phone awww :)
that looks like a ds lol :D
aww sherlock wants to know if john plays violin like him! ^_^
john: “we just met and you want to look at a flat” it’s called true luv bby ♥
also wowza sherlock really wants a friend huh
sherlock just infodumped about john and john’s like ‘:o ???’
THE WINK THE WINK!!!!!
ooh coolio! :D
john is about to go inside baker street when sherlock comes out of a taxi what timing!
did sherlock just say florida
ah yes mrs hudson the number one johnlock shipper
aww she hugged sherlock and john! ♥
dere it is!!!!
my computer randomly shut down here GOSH DARN IT COMPUTER!!
it’s back let’s return to baker street! :D
aww john has a cane :(
john: “very nice indeed!” see sherlock is the light in his life already!
mrs. hudson: “there’s another bed upstairs if you’ll be needing two.” sherlock “of course we’ll be needing two” johnlock shippers be like ;)
mrs. hudson scolded sherlock for his messy flat WE LOVE A MOM!!! ♥
oh yeah sherlock had a website once! rip that :/
i almost expected mrs. hudson to call sherlock ‘lockie’
omg 4 murders? DUN DUN DUNNN!!!! :o
sherlock: “i need an assistant!” aww that’s code for friend! ♥
sherlock just jumped around and said “BRILLIANT!!!” first of all ADORABLE and secondly that’s what my own sherlock would do! (but he says ‘smashing!’)
he’s so excited about the murders wtf :’)
sherlock: “it’s christmas!” lol
aaand he’s gone
mrs. hudson said ‘cuppa’ that’s british slang for coffee (as seen in my own sherlock story) the more you know ;)
mrs hudson said ‘i’m not your housekeeper’ to sherlock and now john is that gonna be a running joke with her
oh hey lockie’s back
john: “i’ve seen too many deaths.” sherlock: “want to see some more?” john: “oh god, yes.” ...ok wasn’t expecting his ‘oh god’ to sound like that
i think the version in my story (’would you like to see a murder?’ ‘you mean a flock of crows or a gruesome death?’ ‘yes, we meet at the park every thursday- of course i mean a gruesome death!’) is better sorry sherlock :/
sherlock: “there’s finally something fun going on!” indeed there is! :D
sherlock: “the game, mrs. hudson. is on!!” and there’s the tagline for the series! (jk i don’t think it has one of those)
and off they go! (the theme music is really good btw)
why does sherlock’s voice sound a bit stuffed
john: “the police don’t consult amateurs!” BOI
sherlock said ‘mp3 player’ how very 2010 of you
sherlock’s deduction is cool :D (and a bit scary like how do you do these things)
john: “how can you possibly know about the drinking?’ as my holmes character once said, ‘detectives always know’ ;)
john: “that... was amazing.” indeed it was! :D
some chick just called sherlock ‘freak’ WOAH WOAH WOAH SISTER :o

THE day. Part 2.
Peacocks.
My wedding venue is swarming with them.
Well, those, and chickens and turkeys. And roosters.
The Milleridge Cottage is on a larger property on Long Island that’s been around for many, MANY years and also has a restaurant, an adorable little village (shops, a bakery, a florist) and yes: a farm.
When our limo bus pulled up to the cottage on Friday, November 15, my bridal party was greeted by all the wildlife which I’ll admit is an interesting and hilarious scene on your wedding day. Also, not mentioned in Part 1? The weather. Bright, sunny, and warm for mid-November. I refused to check the weather the entire week of the wedding (you can’t control it so why bother looking?) and it ended up being an absolutely perfect fall day. I greeted the turkeys, walked into the venue and the scene immediately took my breath away: I loved The Milleridge the second we stepped foot inside to look at it as a potential option for our big day, and loved it even more each time I visited after that. Now? Seeing it all set up for my wedding day? It was everything I envisioned and more. I made my way up the beautiful staircase and waited in the bridal suite for my groom and his groomsmen to arrive.
There were those butterflies again.
There was so much commotion downstairs that I wasn’t able to be a part of as I was in hiding (#FOMO), but the time finally came for me to head down those stairs and meet my soon-to-be-husband at the bottom. Remember the crazy thoughts in my head from Part 1 of this post? They came back as I imagined myself tumbling down those stairs after tripping over my very long, large dress.
I walked REALLY carefully. And slowly.
Leo was at the bottom of the staircase and in front of him stood a crowd of our family and best friends; standing there like paparazzi with their iPhones up and the biggest smiles plastered on their faces. Our photographers and videographer captured my every move. What a scene. I eventually made my way down (without falling! win!) and tapped Leo on the shoulder to, ya know, say what’s up before the biggest moment of our lives.
We both joked that while we loved this moment, it certainly wasn’t a private one. This was some of our audience (plus about 30 more people, lol):
The next few hours (yes, plural) were spent taking all our photos and thankfully, we were able to do so outside. If you know me or follow me on social media, you know how much I love a good sunset, and the universe did me a solid and gave us an amazing one that night.
It was crazy to think at this point -- after SEVERAL hours -- that the main event hadn’t even started yet. After wrapping up pictures with everyone, we headed inside.
I went back up to the bridal suite to hide for the second time that day.
The venue got louder and louder as it filled up with guests, and all I heard were the sounds of a large CROWD. My heart raced. I fixed my hair and re-applied my lip gloss 37 times. I stood up. I paced. I sat back down. I didn’t want to look at my phone because I knew it would overwhelm me, so it was just me up there with my restless thoughts. The day had been so perfect already; I just wanted it to continue. A few things swirling in my mind:
Would the reverend show up? (He did)
The venue was confusing to find; were people going to know to go to the cottage and not the restaurant? (They did) (And whoever didn’t, eventually figured it out)
Did anyone in my life get incredibly sick that day and have to miss the wedding? (No)
Were our young nieces and nephews going to have meltdowns and not walk down the aisle? (quite the opposite; they were amazing)
Was there any drama? ANYONE WHO CRASHED OUR WEDDING? Is everything OK down there? WHAT’S HAPPENING??! (shut up, crazy)
Eventually, it was time. All of our guests were situated for the ceremony and our bridal party was lined up downstairs. And things could not have gone smoother: no one tripped, no one objected to our nuptials (lol), the kiddos were perfectly behaved and cooperative, and our reverend was a HUGE hit (shout out to the hilarious and charismatic Rev. Sica!). It was a beautiful ceremony complete with an amazing string quartet, and I swore I felt the love in the room before I even entered it.
We were officially husband and wife. And it felt fantastic.
After our relatively brief ceremony, I felt like I was floating on a cloud. We headed back up to the bridal suite to get a quick breather before cocktail hour began; something my bridal attendant had recommended we do and I am SO glad we listened. Normally if I’m anxious I lose my appetite, but Leo and I enjoyed our own private cocktail hour and ate the INCREDIBLE spread they provided for us. Every few seconds it would hit us.
Holy crap, we’re married!
My bridal attendant bustled my dress, and it was time to join the party. I could NOT wait to see everyone.
The magic continued as we greeted everyone at our cocktail hour and took in the whole scene. It was surreal and a total out-of-body experience. You spend SO much time and energy planning a wedding and you focus on all the details -- large and small -- and then you’re there just seeing it all come together and come to life. I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt that EVERYTHING looked and felt the way I wanted it to that day. I was overjoyed and overwhelmed, in a good way. So many people had given me the advice to “take it all in” and “enjoy every moment” and I’m really happy to say I did exactly that.
The good times intensified as we did our official entrance to our reception (”Let’s Dance” by David Bowie....come onnnnn now!) followed by *THE* most epic dance party of all time. One of my best friends, Carl, was our MC and he and our DJ, Eddie, brought the house down the entire night with an amazing mix of songs old and new. I did not leave that dance floor except the one time I changed dresses -- you know I had to do a costume change on ‘em!
I could go on and on with the details but instead I’ll just share some incredible highlights from our reception:
Our first dance: Leo was nervous about it (it’s nerve-racking to have all eyes on you and he doesn’t exactly love to dance) but in the moment, nothing else mattered and no one else was even in the room. (Song: Precious Love by James Morrison)
After that, I danced with my Grandmother; a really special moment that I will cherish forever. It was really emotional and beautiful; especially as the whole family (and Leo!) joined us at the end.
The speeches! My brother Mike was my “man of honor” and Leo’s sister Rina was our “best woman” and both of them gave GREAT and hilarious toasts (with cameos from all my brother-in-laws). My dad gave an amazing one, too: let’s just say he made a joke about getting to second base that got a huge laugh (Leo’s a baseball coach. lol).
Birthday celebrations! It was my brother’s 40th birthday that day and my mother-in-law’s was the following day, so we were able to sing to them and give them their own special cupcakes and candles to blow out.
The father/daughter & mother/son dances.
Our live painter! He set up shop in the corner of the room and painted our first dance and added our families to the portrait (I’ll include the photo at the bottom of the post!). I waited until the end of the night to go look at it and was genuinely stunned.
Ending the night with two perfect songs: (I’ve Had) the Time of My Life -- from one of my favorite movies of all time, obvi -- and then my friend Pat requested the grand finale/encore: “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays” by ‘NSYNC. (This is his trademark and is known to play this song when we’re out even in the summer)
Speaking of the end of the night, we had a McDonald’s cart rolled in around 11:15 and the guests went crazy for it. Nothing like stuffing your face at a wedding and then ending the night with a greasy cheeseburger and fries. Leo had it for breakfast the next morning.
Aside from the hotel’s fire alarm going off around 4am (yes, really) it was a perfect day from start to finish. Now, almost six months later, I find my mind wandering to the memories of November 15 when I’m feeling especially low or down in the dumps. I look at the pictures often and the various videos make me instantly happy. People told me during/after the wedding how insanely happy I looked, and it was genuine. I was. I am.
It’s not hyperbole: my wedding day was the best day of my life. I got to marry my perfect match while surrounded by every single human in my life that I love endlessly. I got to have a great dance party, eat incredible food, all while surrounded by a beautiful venue with all the personal touches we had worked on for the nine months prior.
The pandemic might have prevented us from going on our Italian honeymoon, but that’s okay. We’ll get there someday. I’m just eternally grateful and relieved that we were able to have all our other big wedding moments (engagement, shower, bachelor/ette parties, rehearsal dinner, wedding!) all in the same year -- making 2019 really hard to top.
Thanks for letting me share the story of our big day with you all!
