me: i really like this girl but i know if i were to pursue her the anxiety would kick in and i'd be miserable because i wouldn't be able to calm down and just enjoy myself, so it's in my best interests and hers to just Not and maybe hopefully get to a point where i'm stable and calm enough that i feel okay while flirting
the girl: starts seeing someone
me weeping, crying, sliding down the wall: how could this HAPPEN

Ok im watching pirate radio/the boat that rocked because I'm a Tom Sturridge stan now
(The movie follows Carl (Tom Sturridge) a 17 year old who got expelled from school for doing drugs. His mother sent him to live on a boat with his godfather Quenton and the band of DJs who run the pirate radio. Shenanigans ensue, the British government tries to take them down, its a good time. Also its set in the late 60s)
I'm like 15 minutes in and it's awesome so I'm gonna liveblog i guess
This is gonna be very Carl-heavy (see 'im a Tom Sturridge stan' above)
Also spoilers if you care about being spoiled for a movie that came out in 2009
From the summary i thought Carl was gonna be some tough-guy rebel but he's just so smiley and innocent and respectful and it's rly sweet. Idk if it's a British thing or what but yeah
The guys are all very stereotypical "guys" and i honestly kinda love it
The one scene where Carl is kinda settling in on his first day and he comes into the Count's DJ space(?) is so funny. Hes like 'are you nervous' and gives Carl a hug then slaps his ass and tells him to get the fuck out
The f-word scene is BRILLIANT. Go watch the clip on youtube it's so good
Carl just revealed hes only been to all boys boarding schools and as a result he is a virgin and has also never kissed anyone. I know enough about this movie to know it comes up later. Also the way he can barely say 'sex' is adorable
Also Carl is very relatable
Midnight Mark is kinda hot ngl
Oh Jesus christ 🤦‍♀️
Apparently 'later' is NOW
Secondhand embarrasment galore oh my god 😭😭😭😭 poor Carl
Dave tried to trick his hookup by letting Carl have sex (basically rape) her so he could lose his virginity. For what it's worth, Carl is reluctant because of the morality of it (and he's an impressionable 17 year old) and she turns the light on and sees him and they both scream
Omg we're at the scene where we meet Bob. Poor Bob does the show early in the morning and nobody ever sees him so when he comes down in the morning everyones like 'who tf are you'
Thick Kevin: what was his name again?
Young Carl: Really?
Oh btw Thick Kevin and Young Carl are roommates on the ship
Aww Quenton gave Carl a date w his niece, Maryanne, for his birthday
Lmaoo he literally said hi to Maryanne and then left and is asking Dave for a condom
'Do you know how it works?' Carl, babe, your answer doesn't sound very convincing
Carl, my love, you JUST MET HER. I cannot overstate how naive he is.
Dave is an asshole. That's all. (He almost fucks up Carls chance with Maryanne and then sleeps with her while Carl is looking for another condom)
'Maryanne, I see you.' Heartbreaking 😭😭
Honestly there are some very sweet moments and this is one of them 😭😭😭
Harold and John bring Carl tea and biscuits while he's sitting on a bench, upset. They don't say anything but by the end of the scene Carl is eating a biscuit and smiling and Harold gives him a hug 😭😭😭😭😭😭
(Link to the scene bcs its so sweet: https://youtu.be/66U9Kfr4UhE )
And honestly when Gavin gives him the condom was kinda sweet too. Like he's proud of him and gives him advice (bad advice, but still it's the thought that counts)
I fucking love Felicity. She's the only woman on board full time and that's because she's a lesbian. I hope she gets her girlfriend ❤️
Omg Midnight Mark was having an orgy lmaoo
Simon is so sweet😭😭 He went to Carl and Kevin's room and told them he's getting married and I'm pretty sure just asked Carl to be his best man??
'HANDS OFF, YOU LESBIAN' Love it
STAG PARTYYYYYYYY
Omg he's known her for 2 weeks
This entire sequence is very British 😭😭
Oh God they're all hungover
Ooooh who is Carl's father???
God he's so pretty in this scene
Link to gifset (if ur a sandman stan you've seen it before):
'I think sometimes i should be called Clever Kevin. What do you think about tha-' *falls out of bed*
THE WAY CARL DIDN'T EVEN FLINCH AT KEVIN FALLING 💀
Aww Simons speech to the listeners about his wedding was sweet
THE WEDDING
Simon holding Carls hand and Carl being like wtf and walking away
Quenton: We are gathered here in the sight of God, apparently. Which is, I don't know, scary?
Carl is smoking while being Simons best man i love him (Protip: looking for Carl in a scene? Look for a cigarette first)
Oh god Simons new wife just told him she's in love with Gavin
Oh no she only married Simon to get on the boat to get with Gavin :( Poor Simon
Top tier music choices all around though
Harold is such a good friend
Everyone here has two brain cells between them (yes im at the Chicken Game)
Aww Gavin apologized to Simon
Lmao they're basically playing never have i ever
Aww Carls mom is coming by
'Just in case you wanted to brush your hair or hide that stack of pornography you keep on that shelf' QUENTON
Oh god he's dreading seeing her
Aww Kevin wished him luck 😭😭
He asked if Quenton was his dad and his mom was like 'uh no wtf'
Its BOXING DAY
'It was a shag well shagged the night you made this little fella' Dave to Carls mom
DAVE SAID CARL IS ONE OF THEM AND THEY WANT HIM TO STAY FOREVER AWWWW
The posh government people on boxing day im sobbing its so funny and silent
Oh god Bob is Carls father (Bob gave Carl a message earlier and he told her right before she left)
She was like 'How old are you' and did the math from there lmaoo
CARLS MOM SLEPT WITH MARK HAHA
'Telll Mark it was a lovely night!' 'NO! NO!!' lmfaooo
Carl is telling Bob hes his dad oh my god its so sweet
JOHN DON'T INTERRUPT. FUCK
Parliament just created an act making pirate radio illegal as of new years day
Quentons like 'pirate radio is dead' and everyone else is like 'nope'
The Count pulled the 'Murica card lmaoo
'Obviously im in. You're the only people in the world who like me' IM GONNA SOB GIVE CARL A HUG RN
OMG MARYANNE IS BACK
And her friend Margaret
Carl ur so fucking cute (he ssked if she wanted to play scrabble or something 😭😭😭)
OUR BOY IS DOIN IT
omg is Felicity gonna sleep with Margaret??
Lmfao the FUNNIEST SCENE
Ok so Carl comes out of his room in the morning, he turns around and the entire ship is standing there cheering, The Count is on the air and the nation (20 MILLION PEOPLE) are waiting with baited breath as to if Young Carl lost his virginity
The Count is asking him if he did it lmaoo
The Count: -and remember, the reply 'i don't wanna answer that question' means yes
Young Carl: im certainly not going to answer that question
Lmao John is reporting it as news 😭😭 'a nice young man has lost his virginity in the north sea'
Lmao Felicity and Margaret are popping their heads out of another door and everyones smiling GOOD FOR HER
Lmao they're leaving and Felicity is holding a huge sign that says I love you
Listen its the 70s lesbians gotta do what lesbians gotta do
Omg the govt raided the wrong ship 💀💀💀
Holy shit the engine just exploded on the ship as they were sailing away
'Ok the good news is the engine has just exploded and we're all going to die' Quenton NEVER misses
(The bad news is theyre gonna drown/freeze to death in the North Sea btw)
Theyre asking fans for help
Gavin: Here's a rather long record. I hope I'm here at the end of it.
FUCK
They're all grabbing the shit they can/stuff they want and can carry
Carl just ate shit oop
Oh wow the government isnt gonna save them bcs of 'costs'
Midnight Mark is a badass. Going through a sinking ship in leather pants?? Unmatched. Icon.
Lmao Angus is like 'i know nobody here particularly likes me but I'm glad to have known you all' and Simon is like 'no!! Everyone here likes you. Raise your hand if you like him'
And everyone does except Dave who tries and can't make himself do it so Simon says to be honest and everyone puts their hands down lmaoooo
Oh no where's Bob? Also Carl literally says 'where's my dad?' And i just wanna know if everyone knew beforehand or if that's how they found out who Carls dad is
Omg Bob had no clue the boat was sinking because he was listening to music
Bob just let go of your fucking case you are both DROWNING
Aww Dave saved Carl bcs he felt guilty about sleeping with Maryanne
God they're climbing up to the top of the ship now
Oh no the Count is gonna go down with the ship
Lmao Carl said fuck
FANS ARE COMING TO THE RESCUE
Theyre jumping in to swim to the rescue boats and Bob and Carl held hands to jump in together 😭😭
Gavins doing a backstroke lol
MARYANNE SAVED CARL (and kevin)
The rest of the ship is going under
THE COUNT RETURNS
EVERYONE'S ALIVE WOO

written in the stars
Tumblr media
w/c: 2.7k
warnings: jus (lots of) making out
summary: using your newly acquired knowledge of astrology, you test your compatibility with tom
a/n: i was planning on making this a little blurb for y’all but then i got really into it and here we are lmfhfksjks i promise you don’t have to know anything about astrology or birth charts to enjoy cuz i broke it all down + it’s not the main focus of the fic anyways! this is mostly a day in the life with tommy boy and i hope you like it as much as i do :,) also some of this might be wrong.. i’m not an expert so yeah
•┈୨♡୧┈•゚。
“right, so how does this work again?” tom watches your laptop screen with curious eyes.
you’ve been getting into astrology lately, and whatever you care about, so does he. that’s why you’re currently laid across your bed in sweats while you teach him everything you know. but first, you’ll need to do his birth chart. it’s the pinnacle of everything.
“you just have to tell me what time you were born, then it does the rest for me,” you grin, typing in the name of the website. you’d had to do some research to find a reliable one. “that’s it? you don’t need, like, my birthday or something?” tom quirks an eyebrow at the chart generator.
“i already know your birthday, babes.” you laugh softly and let your head fall onto his shoulder. “you crazy gemini.” “‘m not crazy.” he smiles despite himself, leaning his head on yours. “just got a big personality, innit? charming, clever, lots of energy,” he lists off the characteristics of his sign, which you just taught him. that lights up your whole face.
“definitely not cocky,” you deadpan, tom scrunching his nose in response. “look at you, remembering all that. you really are clever.” “well, it’s interesting.” he drapes an arm around you, fingers running up and down your side. “i quite like the idea of the universe knowing me so well.”
tapping your fingers on the keys, you hum. “you’ll love your birth chart, then. tell me when you were born.” tom grimaces and squeezes at your waist. “i don’t actually know.” “how do you not know?” you flick his back playfully, making him flinch. he pokes you so you’re even. “i’ve never thought to ask. guess i’m not that clever after all.”
those are teasing words, but you press a reassuring kiss to his cheek. he gladly accepts it and gives you one on the side of your neck.
“no, your head’s gigantic. there’s gotta be something up there.” you knock on his skull for emphasis, your hand tangling in his hair. tom lets out a breathy chuckle. “hot air,” he explains as your fingers run through the messy locks. “you’re so...” you don’t even have the words. tom does. “hilarious? witty? amusing?” he tries to finish, tilting his head back to look at you.
“yeah, all of the above,” you confer and bring your hand back down to the keyboard. your lips curve into a smirk when tom whines. he’s the biggest baby, and he makes no attempt to hide it. “why don’t you text your mom and ask for your time of birth?” you suggest, tom pursing his lips in agreement. “sure, i’ll give mum a ring. i bet she loves this stuff, too.”
you roll over to lay on your back, tom still on his stomach. he pulls his phone from his pocket and opens imessage. “ah, nikki’s an astrogirl?” you wonder. tom makes a funny face at the term. “is that what you call yourselves?” “not really. well, not officially.” giggling, you loop your fingers around his wrist. “you can be an astroboy, if you want. or girl.”
tom sighs and leans over so his face hovers above yours. “god, you’re adorable. how are you so cute?” he gently pecks your lips. you’re about to kiss back, then he moves off to your cheek. after that is your forehead, chin, and finally down the bridge of your nose. it leaves you out of breath from laughter and with warm skin.
“i can’t answer that if you’re gonna launch a kiss attack on me-“
tom’s lips capture yours in a proper kiss, which you now get the chance to reciprocate. you hold him in place with your hands on his cheeks. his eyes instantly flutter closed and lashes tickle your face. the feeling draws another giggle out of you, and right into his mouth.
“absolutely gorgeous,” tom mutters against your lips. “anyone ever tell you that?” “you do, tommy. all the time.” your voice comes out gravelly, breathless, a grin painting your face. it transfers to tom. “mm, that’s right. my pretty baby.” he’s beaming down at you. he moves on top of you swiftly, his weight held up by his elbows on your sides.
you pull apart so you can go back in harder, hands situating in his curls again. tom grabs at your hips while the kiss deepens. your legs wrap around his waist clad in joggers and allow your bodies to be even closer together. the less space between you two, the needier you both get. “love,” tom parts his lips for you. “can i get a little more?” “course you can, tommy.” your fingers tug at his curls, mouth opening slightly.
his tongue skims its way across your lower lip, asking for access. you give his hair another pull to grant it. tom lets his tongue slip into your mouth, searching for your own as his hands continue to roam your body. he’s gone from gently peppering you in kisses to fully eating your face. no complaints, though. a quiet whimper escapes you when your tongues clash.
tom starts to push up your t-shirt, eyes opening to meet yours for approval. they’re completely darkened. you nod because you can’t answer with words. your tongue is preoccupied, intertwined with his. he sets his hands on your bare stomach, your nails scratching at tom’s scalp in a way that elicits a low groan.
“feels good?” your words come out muffled, barely audible. tom still understands them. “so good,” he rasps, calloused fingers dragging along your skin. they start to move up your body as you brush your lips against his. the kiss is light, and tom’s lips feel swollen as they move. his hands are nearing your chest, your legs tightening around his waist.
it earns another sinful noise from him. you want to see just how much he’s enjoying himself, so you peek up at him. what a sight that is. his faced twisted up as he focuses on kissing you, strands of hair stuck to his forehead from your playing with it. he’s so beautiful, and deserves to know. before you can tell him, you see his phone light up from the corner of your eye.
“tom,” you mumble his name. he’s too distracted by searching for your bra hook to hear. “tommy?” you’re louder this time, his mouth moving off of yours. “what is it, love?” tom exhales, hot breath hitting your face. “i think your mom texted back.” you offer a smile and run your thumb over his plumped lips. he only squints at you.
“about your time of birth,” you clarify. “for your birth chart.” “oh, that.” he kisses your thumb, nodding to himself. “forgot we were doing that.” tom tends to get a bit carried away with anything you related. making out can go on for hours and down many different paths, but it’s not the only thing. he’s a man in love, and the woman he shares that with gets all his attention at any given time. you’re so lucky to receive it.
you nod back and feel his racing heart as it beats against yours. “if you still want to, yeah.” “i definitely do. wanna hear you say more nice things about me,” tom jokes, a smug grin pulling at his lips. your eyes narrow. “who says they’ll be nice?” you challenge and earn a snicker from him.
“alright, missy. can you hand me my phone please?” he drops his head onto your chest, big brown eyes gazing up at you. “yes, sir.” you pat his cheek and grab his phone from next to you. tom’s contact name for nikki is set as ‘Ma x’, which brings a toothy smile to your face. “here you go.” you dangle his phone above his head. tom takes it from you promptly. “thanks.”
after leaving a couple of kisses on your clothed chest, he rolls to lay next to you. “let’s see, let’s see,” he murmurs, reading his mom’s messages. you scoot closer so you can look. “ooh, lots of crying emojis,” tom remarks. “i think you made her kinda nostalgic.” you pout at the screen. copying your face, he clicks on a picture nikki attached.
“she even pulled out the birth certificate.” he shows you his phone, and you zoom in to see when he was born. “big stuff here,” you say while you read. tom takes the time to get comfortable, resting his chin on your shoulder. “looks like you popped out in the middle of the night,” you conclude, giving him his phone back. he clicks his tongue at you.
“don’t say popped out.” feigning innocence, you glance over at him. “too late.” tom types out a reply thanking his mom before tossing his phone aside. “middle of the night makes sense, though.” he bites the inside of his cheek. “i’ve always been a party animal, haven’t i?” you turn onto your side and put a hand on his chest.
“it’s in your gemini nature. or really, your tom nature.” tom does an over exaggerated wink. “i like the sound of that.” he chuckles when you hit at his chest. “bring the laptop. let’s get this thing going.” you huff as you reach over him to grab it. you’ve switched positions so you’re laying horizontally on your stomach and over his legs, your laptop in front of you.
“if we find out there’s any scorpio in you...” you shutter. “hm? what’s wrong with scorpios?” tom wonders, watching you plug his birth time into the generator. “they’re literally insane, tom. like, serial killer insane. there’s statistics.” your eyes go wide as you hit enter. he leans his head back on his arms with a wince. “never mind, then.”
a small gasp leaves your lips, you squeezing tom’s knee. “it’s done.” “what does it say? share with the audience,” tom requests so you do your thing. you’re eager to get to it, turning the laptop to show him his birth chart. “ok, so.” you point at a box a few places down. “this is your rising sign, which is basically how other people see you.”
tom reads the chart, moving his own finger along the screen. “it says i’m a... taurus. what are those like?” “in one word? boring,” you summarize, tom only frowning. “kidding, kidding.” his frown fades into a small smile at that. “they’re known for being super nice and chill... also stubborn,” you tell him and prop your head in your hand.
“so, that makes no sense. those are complete opposites,” tom comments, slipping out from under you. he settles by your side. “i don’t get how i can be a gemini and a taurus, either.” “weird, right?” you sigh in content as his hand comes to stay on the small of your back. “very strange. do you think it could be wrong?”
“are you questioning the universe’s plan?” you tease, tom drumming his fingers on you. “yes, i am.” “see, you’re stubborn! taurus things.” you scroll down to his moon sign before he can protest. tom sticks out his tongue and tries to lick your cheek, which you stop by putting your hand in his face. “next is your moon sign,” you laugh out, ignoring his boyish behavior.
“that controls your emotions and private thoughts,” you elaborate and look presently surprised when you see what tom’s is. “yours is sagittarius. that’s a cool one.” “is it? how come?” tom sneaks a few kisses down the shell of your ear. “you guys are really open-minded and into things that challenge you.” he nods, signaling for you to go on. you turn onto your back so you’re looking up at him.
“you’re all about your freedom, though. it’s hard to hold you down for too long.” grinning, tom brings his face into your line of vision. “that must mean you’re a real force because i’m not going anywhere.” he nudges your nose with his, lips ghosting over yours. you return the smile and meet him halfway for your lips to connect. “anytime soon,” tom adds on in a whisper, kissing back easily.
this one doesn’t last long, but it doesn’t need to. it’s just one of those kisses that makes you feel each other’s love, no matter how you go about it. they’re essentially your own made up love language.
you’re still smiling when your lips detach, fingers combing through tom’s tussled locks. “now that we’ve done the big three...” you preface. “androids, aliens, and wizards?” tom jokes, you breathing out a laugh. you’d thought he had a soft spot for sam and bucky. your suspicions were correct.
“cute, but no. your sun sign, moon sign, and rising sign,” you explain to him. “sure, sure. what about them?” tom toys with the hem of your shirt while you think. a mischievous glint in your eyes, you suddenly sit up. “since you know yours, and i know mine, how about we test our compatibility?”
tom is well aware of what that means, and he isn’t so sure he’d like to do it. he’s someone who believes in cliches like soulmates and fate, so he’ll take your results seriously. after the lessons on astrology you gave him, especially.
his heart will always hold a special place for you and you only. nothing will change that. but, what if the universe says you can’t be together? where do you go from there?
“um,” tom presses his lips into an uncertain line. you’re already getting your laptop. “i mean, do we want to know? what if we’re not...” you come back over to him with both eyebrows furrowed. “compatible?” “yeah” he hesitates before answering, which tells you he’s nervous.
“it’s just for fun, tommy,” you assure him and press a quick kiss to his lips. “besides, if anyone could defy the odds, it would be us.” tom perks up a bit, sitting up next to you. “you think we’re that strong, huh?” “absolutely. do you?” you’re already sure what he’s going to say. he pulls you into his lap, kissing at your hair and letting it linger. “one hundred percent. i’ll do it.”
you put your laptop in your own lap with a grin. tom’s arms hold you by your middle. “ok, here we go,” you mutter, searching for a good compatibility calculator. it doesn’t take long to find one. “remember, this all a bunch of theories. our love goes beyond what a stupid website tells us, okay?” you remind him, his arms tightening around you.
“okay. i love you,” tom speaks into your hair. “you’re so good at saying exactly what i need to hear. how do you do it?” “i love you too, and that’s a secret i’ll never tell.” you take one of his hands and bring it to your lips. tom’s leg bounces while you plug your three signs and his into the calculator. before hitting the calculate option, you look at him over your shoulder.
“ready?” your finger hovers over the cursor. you know how much these things mean to him, so you want to be positive that he is. “can we do it together?” tom asks shyly, which is highly uncharacteristic of him. “sure, baby. on the count of three.” you wait for him to place his hand over yours. he grips it tight, then you start to count. “one... two... three.”
the two of you click calculate at the same time, your results taking a few seconds to load. “love, i’m so nervous. i can’t look.” tom dips his head down so yours is blocking his view. you lightheartedly roll your eyes. “it’s fine, tom. i’m sure we’ll-“ the screen changes to display your compatibility rating, you cutting yourself off. he slowly creeps out from behind you.
“oh, god. are they in? what’s it say?” tom grabs onto your waist, feeling vibrations from you giggling. you shake your head at the website. “it’s really good... almost a perfect match. told you we’re meant to be.” he joins in your laughter, an endless amount of kisses going down the side of your head. “now, it’s written in the stars. we’re untouchable!”
he’s flipping you over so he lays above you, lips colliding messily with yours for the millionth time today. you don’t mind, though. you could do this a million more. “a power couple,” you continue for him between another peck of his lips. “always have been,” tom corrects and shuts you up again with his mouth on yours.
your hand reaches up for him, but doesn’t make it as the passionate kiss he’s giving you takes your breath away. he locks your fingers together instead, whispering one last thing.
“always will be.”

Green With Envy
It’s past 2am and my eyes hurt so it’s unedited for now sorry y’all😅
Original Request (from Wattpad account): What makes the boys jealous, if possible?
Guest stars: Sasori and Sai!
Masterlist     
Naruto~
Oh, this boy… he’s too oblivious sometimes he doesn’t even know to be jealous. He was at a hot spring with friends once and someone says, “(Y/N) is so hot…” Naruto just grinned and said, “Yeah, she really is.”
But that doesn’t mean he won’t protect your honor. If someone says something a little too… risque like ‘Yeah, I’d tap that’ for example, get ready for more Narutos than you can count all charging you with a Rasengan.
He will not stand other guys cozying up to you. He’s the one who should be blessed with your hugs and cuddles. Won’t hesitate to cause a scene and yell to the entire world that he loves you and won’t let any other guy make a pass at you.
“Naruto, you didn’t need to go that far! You blasted him through three walls!” He’s endearing, really.
Sasuke~
Is jealousy an Uchiha thing or just a Sasuke thing? One of life’s many mysteries. Anywho, unlike Naruto, the second your name is brought up in conversation, he goes on guard and he’s listening closely.
If anything is said that he deems inappropriate, whether it be disparaging or otherwise, Sasuke had better be held back or he just might punch you into next week.
“Sasuke, calm down! He just said I had good taste in clothes!”
Even though he can easily get jealous, he knows the importance of freedom and he trusts you. He won’t come guns blazing (or sword slashing rather) and drag you away unless you need it of course.
The last thing he wants is for you to feel like you’re dating your dad or something. He’s very blunt and if he becomes uneasy with the way another male is talking to you, he’ll let said male know. Maybe after scowling with his Sharingan activated, however.
Neji~
Neji doesn’t really get jealous per se, more like offended on your behalf. Because of his upbringing, which taught him manners and the utmost respect, he really can’t understand talking about girls like they’re objects? Will never refer to a woman as ‘hot’ or anything like that.
If someone even dares speak of you like that, (even if you’re not necessarily together yet) he will fight them, and they will experience the 64 palms technique.
He especially hates people in your personal space. He really does trust you, just not others. Is not afraid to embarrass someone on your behalf. Half the time his glare is enough to scare them off, but some people are just clueless. (They wake up in the hospital)
“Neji! You can’t just throw me over your shoulder and leave! And that guy looked like he had seen a ghost?!” Needless to say, even cool, calm, and collected Neji has his limits.
Shikamaru~
Shika is too laid back to get jealous over little things. Somewhat like Neji, he doesn’t get jealous. He might feel threatened on your behalf, but never jealous. He can trust you with his life why shouldn’t he trust you with your relationship?
However, if someone is clearly harassing you or just generally making you uncomfortable, he will not hesitate to step in and make them leave. He won’t resort to physical violence (too much work), but he will intimidate them or put his genius to use and play some kind of trick on them.
He honestly has endless patience and at the same time no patience? Patience with you if you’re having a pleasant conversation with someone, but will go from 0-100 (or 50, really, anything more is a lot of effort) real quick.
“Shika, that guy thought he was really paralyzed, thanks to your shadow possession!” Being jealous is a waste of time, but clever revenge is always a treat for Shika.
Kiba~
So. Jealous. So. Easily. Kiba is naturally animalistic (in the best way) and just like a dog, can be very possessive. If explicitly asked, he will try to tone down his jealous fits, but will still be protective. If he does have free reign, however, oh boy…
No chill at all, whatsoever. Whether it’s absolutely destroying the object of his rage or just simply making out with you right there. No matter how annoyed he may get, he respects you with every fiber of his being and would never tell you to change or try to control you. He wouldn’t ever embarrass you (unless Kiba and Akamaru pummeling a room full of guys is embarrassing).
Just let him FIND OUT someone is making you feel the slightest bit of unease. One second, they’re chatting you up and then BAM! There’s a flash of white and a huge dog ready to maul them.
“Kiba, what do you mean they all looked at me for too long?! We walked in the door, of course, they turned to look!”
Gaara~
Gaara is a bit of a conundrum, but in a way that makes sense? Like, he doesn’t feel the need to get jealous of guys because when you leave, he’s going to be kissing you goodnight, and he’s the one who gets to spoil you.
However, he will get jealous of little things. Oh, you’ve spent a good amount of time playing with an animal/pet? Be prepared to walk in on Gaara giving them a stern lecture on stealing you from them. Gaara knows he has any potential suitors beat, but tiny adorable animals and children? In his mind, he can never be too cautious.
He gets a little pouty but that can easily be cured with cuddles, sometimes with that evil little pet that stole your affections from him. He can never stay jealous for long, he views it as an unproductive waste of time. He could be actively trying to get your attention, but instead, he’s going to be sulking in a corner? Yeah, no.
“Gaara! Stop scolding my cat, that’s not doing anything!”
Sai~
On the rare occasion that this cinnamon roll gets jealous, he’s confused and shocked. Like just imagine the surprised Pikachu face and that’s him. He knows what jealousy is, he can identify it just fine, but he doesn’t know why he’s jealous.
You aren’t doing anything, all you did was laugh at someone else’s jokes, but still… do you find them funnier than him? Are you going to leave him because he’s not that funny?! Cue the slow onset into insanity… Poor Sai is losing his mind to paranoia and made-up scenarios.
Will most certainly drag you away (gently) from whoever is taking your attention and leave. He doesn’t even bother with a fake smile, they don’t deserve it. He’ll explain to you calmly even though he’s panicking on the inside. Once he is back to normal he’ll show you his nearest artwork.
“What the-! Sai, you can’t just draw caricatures on people’s car!” You don’t even want to know how he figures out which car is theirs...
Kakashi~
Too cocky to be jealous. He has the right to be though because one glance at him without his face mask can cause instant pregnancy. Anywho, he knows you love him and some guy trying to hit on you like some high school douche isn’t going to change that.
He does like to intervene, however, just to flex like ‘yeah, I’m the boyfriend, now get lost’.
He’s not big on PDA, so he won’t start kissing you to ward off strangers, but he will wrap on arm around you or hold your hand and ask who your ‘friend’ is.
When there’s that one stubborn person who won’t take a hint, Kakashi doesn’t mind rocking someone’s world or getting kicked out, he needed to perfect that one offense technique anyways. He’s pretty laid back though, so it has to be somewhat drastic for this though, plus he knows you can handle yourself.
“A thousand years of death?! Isn’t it weird to be poking old men in the butt?!
~Akatsuki~
Pein~
Pfft. Who does he have to be jealous of? He’s a god among mortals, after all. To him, you’re a goddess and as such you belong with someone like him, not the peasants around you.
But on the offhand chance that someone doesn’t heed his godly status, he will not hesitate to pull you into his side and yell ‘Almighty Push’ and totally obliterate that loser. (A/N: Holy crap I think that needs to be a one-shot cuz, wow, Pein being all protective is making me swoon?)
If it’s not a big deal, he’ll easily let you take care of it. If you’re strong enough to catch Pein’s attention, you’re more than strong enough to deal with some lowlife. That doesn’t mean, however, that they won’t feel his wrath too.
If you ever want to witness a true royal rumble, dare someone to mess with Pein’s S/O. It’d be an epic tag team match (slaughter, really) for the ages. One would d be surprised how quick he can lose his cool when it comes to you.
“Pein, that’s the fifth time this month! Kakuzu is going to murder me if I ask for money to fix this wall!”
Deidara~
Need I even say it? Jealous boy all the way. You’re his favorite masterpiece so why should let an uncultured swine who doesn’t even understand your worth touch you? Rhetorical question, he wouldn’t.
He is not above fighting or placing a bomb on someone who gives you one too many glances. He’d make sure they knew it wasn’t art, they weren’t good enough for that, before blowing the offender up.
No one and he means no one gets to talk bad about his S/O. If someone insults you in his presence they might as well as swallowed one of his explosives and trusted him not to blow them up.
Will one 100% hide you from view if you look too appealing. He thinks you look ravishing, but he’s the only one who should be able to think that, in his opinion. Don’t worry, no one’s ever gotten close enough to harass you with Dei around. His one-eyed scowl is a great deterrent.
“Deidara! You blew up my favorite restaurant! He didn’t even say anything to me!”
Sasori~
Would rather die before admitting he was jealous. As adamant about not being jealous as he is about art being eternal. That’s not to say that he won’t take action though. He will use chakra strings to make the perpetrator walk away, meanwhile making them bump into literally everything in the general vicinity.
The two of you don’t leave the base all that often so it’s unusual to see an envious Sasori action, but it’s a real treat when it happens. After he deals with whatever idiot crossed him, he’ll be a bit more affectionate that day/night.
Not huge things, but instead of working on puppets all night, he’d be more apt to hold you that night. Average people hitting on you make him insecure because he realizes he’s not that great at normal relationships but he still doesn’t want to lose you. That feeds into his jealousy and he figures the only way to get rid of it is to make sure those other guys can’t offer anything he doesn’t have.
“Sasori! If you wanted a hug, you could’ve said that instead of treating that guy like a ball inside of a pinball machine!”

Fake Wife (Ethan x MC)
AKA: Fake Husband III
Pairing: Dr. Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Dr. Lilac Allende) Word count: 2.7K Warning: Language Summary: A certain young doctor comes to his rescue when Ethan runs into an old flame. Part 3 of  Fake Husband and  Fake Husband, Part 2.
Tumblr media
______________
The crowded banquet hall buzzed with laughter and conversation, the sound alone unnerving enough for Ethan. Add to that the countless doctors who vied for his attention and Ethan felt the need to escape at once.
In fact, he was desperate enough to do the unthinkable.
With the conviction of a suffocating man, he pulled out his phone and started to text.
Are you coming, Rookie?
It took him less than a second to realize the double entendre and to  picture the tantalizing reply she would undoubtedly send. In a rush, he tried to send a second text to clarify. He was, of course, too late because a blip announced her reply.
I love it when you talk dirty to me, Dr. Ramsey.
She attached an emoji, as was customary, one that looked as though it was smirking in the same way she would have done if she was standing before him. Regardless, his throat went dry at the implication.
This is why I don't text, he returned, hoping to sound unaffected. He knew better than to expect her to buy that.
“Dr. Ramsey!” An older doctor approached him. “Enjoying the conference?”
“God, no,” he replied truthfully, which only prompted a belly laugh from his companion.
“Ramsey, you haven't changed a bit! Don't think I didn't notice you haven't missed one since Miami,” he pointed out with amusement. “Surely, they can't be that awful.”
Ethan took a swig of his drink, dispassionately watching their surroundings. Every year, he found himself convinced to attend, for old times sake, as Lilac liked to tell him. Despite the indifferent and irritated front he put up, Ethan enjoyed them.
He enjoyed them with her.
Inevitably, his mind traveled to that legendary Miami conference and to his favorite memory of her. The reminder of her full lips, moving against his for the first time and coaxing a yearning he hadn't felt until that point, made him restless to have her at his side. Without much pretense, he excused himself from the presence of the jolly older doctor and found a semblance of peace by the dessert table. He glanced at his phone, where her reply awaited.
Liar. I bet you're smiling right now.
A broad grin spread across his face despite his best efforts.
Are you ready to join me? I can't stand another minute being alone with these vultures.
Ethan could picture her in the hotel room upstairs, rolling her eyes upon reading his dramatic reply.
Almost ready… You can't rush art.
It was Ethan's turn to roll his eyes at that, though not without a smile. His poor, unprepared brain had only just begun to picture how tantalizing stunning she would look, when his phone pinged with an incoming photo from her.
Tumblr media
It took everything in him not to choke on his drink. Hell, it took an insurmountable amount of sheer will power to remain where he was, instead of dashing upstairs to pin her to the wall.
Are you okay over there?, she replied.
There was no time to lie in his reply because a bout of loud laughter erupted from a group nearby. Ethan briefly glanced on instinct, ready to dismiss the interruption with a small huff and return to the tempting picture on his screen. His attention, however, snagged on the person at the center of the small crowd, the one who spoke with a lively cadence and who no doubt had been the one to make everyone laugh.
It had been over ten years since he had seen  her last, and though she wore her blond hair much shorter, there was no mistaking those glacial silver eyes and the charming, effortless way she enraptured those around her. Statuesque and confident as ever, Dr. Fiona Bellington looked every bit like her former self, the girl both Ethan and Tobias had fallen desperately in love with.
His phone buzzed in his hand, bringing him back from over a decade ago in a rush. Ethan didn't read whatever it was Lilac had replied, instead, he quickly texted:
Never mind, don't bother to come down. I'm leaving.
Blood rushing loudly at his hot ears, Ethan hurried towards the door. The sight of Fiona set off a fight or flight response and Ethan gladly chose to flee, much too eager to avoid the specter of his past. He didn't make it far, however, before Fiona herself was standing right before him, impeding his path.
“Ethan?” she asked, though the recognition was evident in her heart-shaped face. “I thought that was you.”
Nothing in her perfect posture suggested she felt as uncomfortable as Ethan did. He, on the other hand, felt his face burn as he wished he could disappear into the tacky carpet of the banquet hall. Then again, that had always been their dynamic. Fiona, ever confident and graceful, and Ethan, quiet and awkward in her presence.
“Dr. Bellington,” he acknowledged at last.
Fiona laughed pleasantly at the formality of his greeting. “You know you can call me Fiona.”
Ethan didn't respond. His phone buzzed in his hand with Lilac's replies.
“How have you been?” She looked unfazed by his lack of response. Perhaps Ethan took a beat too long to reply, or Fiona was still in the habit of asking questions she did not care to hear the answer to because she added, “It's funny I ran into you. I just read your case study on Primary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis in the NEJM.”
“Oh?”
What else could he say? In his hand, the buzzing became more frantic to match the content of Lilac's responses, no doubt.
“Very impressive, as always,” Fiona went on, undeterred.
They spent the next few minutes catching up, even if Ethan's side of the conversation was brief and detached.
“What a career you've had these past ten years.” Her silver eyes sparkled, making her look almost ten years younger. She fixed them on Ethan in a manner that was too calculated to be casual.
“All a result of hard work and dedication,” he deflected. His eyes abandoned the silvery spectacle before him—from Fiona's white blonde hair, to her eyes and dress—to instead find an escape route. Ethan had no moral qualms about being rude, but even he couldn't just leave mid-conversation. Then again, could it be called a conversation when his responses were short and noncommittal?
Fiona, seemingly oblivious about his escape plans, smirked and continued, “And an unmatched genius, Ethan. There is no need to be humble with me.”
Fiona moved closer to him, almost imperceptibly. His instinct was to step back, but the dessert table behind him prevented him from doing so.
Her sharp face lit up with determination and a hint of playfulness. “It's no surprise. You were always so…” Fiona allowed her gaze to fall to his chest, before slowly dragging it up to meet his eyes. “Driven.”
Completely unaffected, Ethan said nothing. The only source of discomfort stemmed from feeling trapped between the pastry-laden table and a woman whom he hadn't thought about in a decade. A woman who was determined to lay it on real thick with a charm that might have worked on him in another life.
Fiona, clever as ever, must have realized the lack of effect on her audience because she tried for a new approach. “I've thought a lot about you these past few years,” she confessed in a soft whisper. “I've always wondered if that mess with Tobias hadn't happened, if we could have…”
His jaw clenched reflexively.
“There's nothing more detrimental to progress than foolishly dwelling in the past,” he replied, face taught with tension, fist clasping his drink with formidable force. The words were the gentlemanly alternative to what Ethan really wanted to say, something along the lines of, “You fucked up, Fiona. And now Tobias, proving to be smarter than he looks, doesn't give you the time of day after he got bored. So now you're back, with your tail between your legs to chase after the now-famous alternative.”
As it turned out, his words were perhaps too gentle because Fiona considered them thoughtfully. Something akin to hope bloomed in her face, much to his dismay. “I absolutely agree,” she said. “Perhaps the best way forward is to break through any walls.”
At least she had the decency to look almost bashful, if a bit hopeful. Though utterly incredulous, Ethan scrutinized the woman he once fancied himself in love with. Had it really been love? It would be a disservice to his younger self to write it off as anything else. Fiona was intelligent and fiercely ambitious, not to mention charming and exceedingly beautiful. Anyone who knew her then would inevitably fall in love with her. But, as Ethan moved on and mended the fragments of a broken heart, he understood the ambition that drove her had always paired with a cruelty that tore down everyone in her path. He understood now that the love he had felt for her then was a tumultuous torrent, untamed and almost destructive but gone as quickly as it had appeared.  
Misinterpreting his silence, she said, “Maybe we can get out of here and—”
Fiona did not finish that sentence because her icy grey eyes swiveled to something over Ethan's shoulder. Before Ethan could turn to look too, a pair of warm, familiar hands appeared from under his arms, sliding up his chest in a lazy line. Soon after, the lovely face of Lilac Allende appeared from over his shoulder.
The way she looked up at him was so adoring that something tugged at his chest.
“There you are, babe,” she murmured, her voice unfairly sultry, as if his heartbeat hadn't already spiked to astronomical levels at the way her hands touched him. “I've been looking all over for you.”
Ethan said nothing, unable to speak through the haze she effortlessly cast over him. How was she always so good at that? His eyes fell on the emerald green dress that hugged her pristine body. Ethan repressed a groan as he took in the revealing neckline and equally ensnaring leg slit. It was the very same dress that tormented him all the time ago through a social media post.
At the extended silence, Lilac's eyes widened slightly, prompting him to say something. In the most discreet way, she gestured toward Fiona and it hit him.
They were doing this again.
Ages after their initial fib, there they stood, about to sell the lie again, their roles reversed.
Without wasting another minute, he snared his arms around Lilac’s waist and pulled her to him, as naturally as the rhythm of the ocean. Her high heels compensated for their height difference and as Ethan leaned down, their noses were mere inches apart. “I was only gone for twenty minutes,” he informed her, swaying them slightly as he held her. “It's nice to know I am so thoroughly missed when I leave.”
Lilac raised her brow imperceptibly at him, no doubt taking his words as a challenge. The most wicked smile pulled at her lips, made more dangerous still with the way her body pressed tightly against his. She lowered her voice conspiratorially, “Speaking of thorough, you promised we could leave to our room upstairs so we could—”
Lilac made a show of noticing Fiona for the first time. “Oh, hello.”
The blonde looked at them through thinly veiled shock and disappointment. They disentangled though Lilac remained at his side, hand casually resting at his chest. The tiny gesture made it entirely too difficult to concentrate.
“Lilac, this is Dr. Fiona Bellington,” Ethan said at last. Lilac was not acting when she tore her eyes from Fiona before quickly glancing at Ethan. “Dr. Bellington, this is Dr. Lilac Allende,” he paused to kiss the top of Lilac’s forehead. “My wife.”
Uttering the word, even if it was a lie, sent his pulse into chaos.
Lilac shifted slightly to extend her hand in greeting but all pleasantries were forgotten as Fiona gaped at them.
“Wife?” Fiona said to Ethan in apparent disbelief. “I thought you didn’t—” she stopped and cleared her throat, regaining some composure. “I never took you for the marrying type, Ethan.”
“He wasn’t the conference type and look at him now,” Lilac returned cheerfully.
Fiona blinked. She seemed to remember her manners only seconds later because she plastered on a pleasant enough smile and offered her hand to Lilac.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” she said as they shook hands. “Ethan and I are old friends. We were at Johns Hopkins together.”
He fought the urge to grimace. He would hardly call Fiona his friend.
“Yes, he mentioned that before,” Lilac returned just as politely.
There was a slight twitch in Fiona’s smile, sending it from passably agreeable to almost forced. “Forgive my initial shock,” she said. “I never knew Ethan to believe in marriage. What was it you said about it being a senseless institution?”
Ethan’s shoulders stiffened, entirely too annoyed by Fiona’s petty maneuvers. He opened his mouth to bluntly refute her, but Lilac laughed beside him. “The speech about there being no scientific basis for soulmates? You were already that cynical in med school, love?”
Inspired, Ethan smiled lovingly at her and pressed a kiss to the tip of her nose.
“I hadn’t met you yet.”
Lilac froze at the words and he was delighted to see a blush tinge her face. Fiona, meanwhile, struggled to conceal her crestfallen expression, her smile appearing painful now.
“We should go if we want to make dinner,” Ethan said to Lilac, deciding that any minute they spent in the company of others instead of alone was a waste of time. “Dr. Bellington,” Ethan said with a nod as mode of farewell.
“It was good to meet you,” Lilac added before Ethan whisked her away, leaving a dejected Fiona behind. They were successful in concealing their amusement until they reached a deserted hall several doors away.
Lilac's fit of laughter was contagious and he joined her without reservations.
“We should go into acting in case this medicine thing doesn't work out,” he commented.
“You make it very easy to act.”
All traces of humor were gone from her face. Unable to fight back the pull any longer, he hooked an arm around her waist and pulled her until their lips met. She responded at once, her body conforming to his as though it was designed to do so, a little moan escaping her when his tongue traced a trail along her lower lip. By the time they pulled apart, completely breathless, his tongue and lips stung pleasantly as a result of her ministrations.
“Are you okay?” she murmured, her arms still wrapped around his neck. Her fingers caressed the angles of his face and Ethan closed his eyes.
“I'm fine. How did you know I needed a save?”
“Your text,” she explained. “And the terrified look on your face when I found you talking to her.”
Ethan raised his brows to his hairline, waiting for more. Lilac rolled her eyes and relented. “And I also heard her trying to get you to leave with her.”
He chuckled. “You're cute when you're jealous.” Lilac opened her mouth, cheeks ablaze. “You've nothing to worry about, Rookie. I'm interested in one person and one person only.”
“Who? Your wife?”
“She's not my wife yet,” he replied with a grin, aware it probably made him look sheepish. He didn't care. “But I do like the sound of the word.”
“Good. Get used to it because it will be true in a few weeks.”
The thought alone exhilarated him. Very gently, he took her hand in his, bringing his lips to the engagement ring he had placed there a few weeks prior.
“I'm counting down the days.”
Their lips met again in another passionate kiss. Ethan's hands fell to the swell of her hips, his fingers quickly descending to the slit along her thigh.
“This dress,” he breathed when they pulled apart. His eyes took her in shamelessly, marveling at how a mere piece of fabric made her look entirely like a goddess. “Did you wear it for me?”
“Yes,” Lilac allowed with a wistful sigh. “I was hoping to finally get some use out of it.”
Ethan flashed his fiancée a devilish lopsided smile.  “Night's not over yet,” he whispered, pressing a hot lip against her neck.  “And besides, I think its true purpose is to be a heap in our bedroom floor.”

Hiiii! Ship your moots? your posts seems like u are clever with energies and that stuff :o i mean i can be wrong but it feels like it!
PFFT you’re quite sweet ! i have some sort of thing where I can sense peoples energies idek
butttt anyway
let’s get it
ill do like a couple of my moots and then if you guys want me to ship you then let me know and i will bc im literally on one hour of sleep and 3 cups of coffee bc im an responsible young adult :’D
Tumblr media
ten & sarah @sarahbkwl
you know they have been my biggest otp, idk if it’s the pisces x pisces energy, but they’re both extremely artistic and intelligent individuals, not only that but they have this just beautiful way of living whether it be sarah going on walks in the dark just feeling the air and enjoying the world, or ten drawing and relaxing, expressing his emotions through his form of dance. it’s beautiful!not only that they give me the art hoe bf and egirl alt gf. It’s just hot, they would equal each other out so well 😭 not only that but he’s an infj & she’s an infp, which are very compatible, and them both being okay with hanging with friends but enjoy staying inside. they would probably spend their time playing on their switch, with music in the background, louis purring in their lap., cooper on the floor chewing a toy, just enjoying each other’s company, bc the silence of their breathing speaks so much louder and means so much more to them than the constant sound of talking
Tumblr media
jae & sami @rr0zu
ugh this ship, they’re just so HOTTTTTTT
okie anyway, no matter what sami says i think that they’re quite compatible for each other, whether it be the gentle touches underneath the moonlight with cigarettes after sex playing in the background, gently spinning on the record player, much similar to ten and sarah they’re both extroverts, but chill ones, ones who when they go to a party they sit together and laugh, observing their loved ones and sorroundings, not needing to be the center of attention bc they just enjoy being apart of the group. sami is quite in independent person (same girl same) she’s a strong woman and idk something about jae just seems like he would be attracted to that. so getting into the astrological part of it, jae is an aquarius bc of course he fucking is, and she’s a sexc taurus 😩 i know for some people air + earth don’t match well but i personally think they match up very well, his free spirit, down to earth vibes fit so well with her independent, humble vibes
Tumblr media
faye & taeyong @starrdustville
let’s discuss these two. okay? ooo a cancer 😩 Idk why but they would be super super super cute together ! Faye is such a sweet pure human that needs to be protected at all times, which yong would def be attracted to at first (water sign tings) but she also has this inner fire about her, could be her mc being in sag- who knows anyway but she has this inner passion about supporting others and making others believe in themselves and have their voices be heard that i think yong will find so so endearing! he would want to learn from her and grow, he would want him to lead him and show him these new things and show him her passions. but also since they’re both water signs they’re highly intuitive & compassionate, which means they will always be looking out for each other’s feelings. Faye will support yong and be a shoulder to cry on and a person to cuddle, while tae could protect Faye and help her with things she’s going through and let her know she’s not alone
Tumblr media
hanna & taeil @himitsu-luna
oh my god, these two, it’s the Aries & Gemini couple, hmm which you wouldn’t think would work but it surpsingly does for them, taeil being a quirky, quiet, loving gemini while hanna is that pure hearted, nurturing, soft aries. they’re both introverts but okay with it, cold winter nights they would definitely prefer laying in bed cuddling, their soft fingers caressing the warm cheeks of your beautiful faces. it’s hard to explain but it’s like their souls are just on the same wavelength in life, it’s like they find each other again and again every lifetime.
Tumblr media
ivet & mark @hunjins
OMG these two, another interesting astrology combo, virgo & leo. both are quite beautiful and humble. funny and a strong sense of justice, mark would definitely enjoy ivets cute quirks, he’ll find them adorable and these two would 100% laugh in the middle of the night at NOTHING and then continue to keep laughing bc they just keep talking and it just turns into a big mess and it’s too funny not to watch, their life will be a sitcom istg. anyway but i feel like mark isn’t super open but ivet is warm, comforting person it can help him trust and open up more :’)))
Tumblr media
charlie & johnny @dundun-baby
now okay , i ship these two for a couple of reasons, they both have similar senses of humor, they’re both aquas, they both just have this magnetic energy about them that just make you want to keep talking to them, not only that but i feel like you would never have a dull moment with them, they’re so fun, kind, and just all around the light in people’s lives that you just can’t help but smile around them, which is why they would make an amazing couple bc you’re just always in a good mood with them, their energies would just equal each other so well that’s all i can say

Chapter 6: Friends of the Ood
Fandom: Doctor Who // Pairing: 10th Doctor x OFC
Taglist: @ocfairygodmother @anotherunreadblog @maaaaarveeeeel @stareyedplanet @perfectlystiles
Minerva’s face claim: Victoria Camacho // (Kaeya’s face claim: Michelle Trachtenberg)
~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~ 0 ~
Chapter summary: The Doctor and Minerva take Donna to see her first alien planet. Things go wrong when they realize what's happening with the Ood and for some reason, Minerva feels a terrible ache in her chest.
Tumblr media
"Afraid you're gonna lose, Minerva?" Donna taunted as she did several laps in the swimming pool of the TARDIS, "I'm just asking for one little race."
Minerva just smiled and watched her ginger friend swim around the large pool. The two had taken for a relaxing swim before going to Donna's first alien planet adventure. Minerva had been talking about the pool earlier and Donna wanted to give it a go. So, Minerva brought the ginger to the wardrobe and plucked out two bathing suits to get into the pool.
Donna wore a one-piece, lavender bathing suit with thin straps going criss-cross on her back. Minerva chose a white one-suit, not feeling quite secure in a bikini for some reason. It had deep cut-outs on either side, a gold circular pendant binding the bust and the abdominal pieces together. But while Donna was taking some swims, Minerva was sitting outside with her feet dangling below in the water. Her hair was left down to its natural length and the clip she was supposed to be using to be in the pool was right beside her.
"C'mon!" Donna called again, swimming towards her.
The Doctor walked in, having heard Donna's constant calls for his Clever Girl. "What's going on?"
"Minerva doesn't wanna race with me," Donna rested her arms on the floor beside Minerva, "I told her I'd go easy on her."
The Doctor bent down beside Minerva, "You haven't told her?"
Minerva smiled with embarrassment, "Nope..."
"Told me what?" Donna looked between them, a frown growing on her. What was she missing out on now!? Those two always had some inside jokes going on!
"Minerva's an excellent swimmer," the Doctor declared, "She used to be on a swim team as a kid."
"Wow, and you didn't say?" Donna asked Minerva, eyes wide, "All this time you could've easily won a round with me!"
"I didn't want to..." Minerva shrugged. She liked swimming but she didn't like boasting about her natural ease with it. There was simply no need to.
"Well c'mon then," Donna grabbed her hand, "Do one round with me. I want to see how fast you are!"
"No, let's not," Minerva tried to pull back.
"Oh go on," the Doctor encouraged, "You'll be excellent as usual!" He kissed her cheek.
Minerva smiled, sighing as she reached for the clip, "Alright, then. I'm coming in."
"Hooray!" Donna clapped and swam around them.
"Let me," the Doctor took the clip from Minerva.
"You know how?" she teased, "Just twist and snap."
"Ha, ha, I think I can manage to do some hair."
"Yeah, figures since you take two hours each day," she mumbled.
"Oi!" he frowned, "I do not take two hours."
She glanced at him, raising an eyebrow, "Three?"
"Minerva," he mumbled, raising her hair as she instructed and snapping the clip to hold her hair.
"Yes Martian?" she shifted to peck his lips.
"Nothing..." he sighed, the kiss was enough to shut him down, even if it was just a simple peck.
"Good," she patted his cheek, kissing him again more deeply before jumping into the pool. "Donna Noble, you better get ready!"
"Oh, a challenge," Donna returned to them, both having their hands on the edge, "Do the honors, spaceman!"
"On your marks..." the Doctor stood to his feet, still a bit hazed from Minerva, "...get set...go!"
Both women pushed themselves with their feet, swimming ever so fast. The Doctor beamed when Minerva started getting ahead. Oh, she was just amazing at swimming! He actually hadn't seen that well of a swimmer since...
He shook his head, not wanting to finish that thought. He knew exactly who Minerva reminded him of as a swimmer. There was only one person who swam as fast as she did...Kaeya. Granted, it was expected from the princess of a species of water. As much as the Doctor didn't want to think of it, Minerva did share that similarity in rather high levels. Minerva was incredibly fast, she could stay underwater for a long time past any human he'd ever seen, and she was skillful like no other. He thought she was rather lovely as a swimmer and always tried pushing away the similarity as best as he could. It wasn't fair to Minerva, nor Kaeya. He should just focus on Minerva and only her. And that's what he tried with great struggle, but still tried.
"Oi, you're too fast!" Donna complained as she stopped midway, Minerva already making her return trip back to the Doctor.
"Sorry!" she called, making the ginger laugh.
"Minerva wins!" the Doctor declared, finally out of those thoughts of his. He bent down with a grin, "My Clever Girl wins."
"Thank you Martian," she grinned back, "What's my prize?"
"A kiss from a Martian," he tapped his lips.
"Ew, thank god I didn't win," Donna muttered as she returned as well.
"Mm, I'd rather get a kiss from a human," Minerva taunted.
Immediately, the Doctor thought back to Cody. Ever since they had left Isadora's house, he'd been having more and more thoughts of Minerva and Cody actually getting together. He'd been having some nightmares about it too. The kind where Minerva openly and flat out said she preferred Cody over him any day...and then she left, forever.
It was hard to ignore them, but he did...because he came to the conclusion that he didn't want to give Minerva up. Yes, it was probably selfish but he was doing it out of lo...
He was doing it because he was in like with her. Yes. That's what he meant to say. He didn't want to give her up because he knew for a fact that only he could make her the happiest woman in the universe, despite all their differences and struggles.
"I'm just messing with you, Martian!" Minerva laughed, pulling him out of his thoughts, "Of course I'd want a kiss from my big, hot Martian," she leaned over and pecked his lips.
He faintly smiled, "Thank you."
"Well, I'm gonna go shower," Donna stepped out of the pool and wrapped her towel around her body, "You two behave," she wagged a finger at the pair.
"You're ever so funny, Donna," the Doctor rolled his eyes, "But you should know that you really are not."
"Uh-oh," Minerva swam back a few feet.
The Doctor only had the chance to mutter out two words, "Uh-oh what?" before he was pushed into the pool.
Donna busted out laughing, nearly falling back with so much laughter she had pouring out, "Oh my god!"
The Doctor shook his head, looking at himself and seeing he was soaking wet. He was still in his suit with shoes on, "That wasn't funny!"
"I thought it was," Donna shook her head, still not over it.
"Next stop, Donna Noble's home!" he shouted, completely outraged.
"Yikes," Donna stopped laughing almost immediately, "Minerva, I leave that up to your charms cause I really don't want to go home! Bye!" she quickly rushed off, smirking when she got a glimpse before leaving of Minerva swimming over to the spaceman.
"She is going home right now! I'm not even gonna land, nope! I'm gonna chuck her out from the sky!" the Doctor was rambling in his fury, "And no parashoot either! She'll just have to wing it! Then I'll throw all her suitcases out and-"
"Woah there Martian," Minerva was now in front of him, her hands on his chest, "Don't you think you're overreacting just a bit?"
"I'm all wet and in my suit, Minerva, look," he reached inside his jacket's pocket and took out his screwdriver, "It's wet too!" his frown turned into a pout, "That's not fair!"
She laughed, "You're so cute sometimes!" she took his screwdriver and threw it to the floor.
"Sometimes?" And then his pout reverted to a frown, suddenly his soaked appearance wasn't a big problem.
"You can't be cute all the time," she shrugged calmly, "Sometimes you have to be a bit hot," she supplied, leaning up to his ear, "And sometimes you have to be a bit sexy," she smirked as she faced him again, the pink tint on his cheeks more than satisfying for her, "But right now, you look really adorable with your hair all floppy and wet." She laughed as she ruffled through it.
"She is so going home..." he managed to say, her little compliments - plus having her right in front of him when she was practically little clothed - were a bit distracting...just a bit.
"What can I do to change your mind?" she asked seriously, though the faint smile letting her know he really wasn't going to send Donna home, "I'll do anything."
"Anything?"
She nodded, "Anything, I'm at your service Martian."
"I want a kiss right here," he tapped his lips. She nodded and pecked his lips, "And another one," he tapped again and he was kissed again, "And another," he was kissed again, "Another," this time he grabbed her by the waist, his hearts racing as his fingers brushed on her exposed sides.
Minerva had chills going around her body at the sensation of his fingers on her skin, "And then?" she mumbled, doing her best to focus on his face entirely.
"And then I want a big kiss," he smiled.
"With pleasure," she draped her arms around his neck and tugged herself closer, chest-to-chest, "But for the record I was already planning on doing this anyways," she said before kissing him.
And so, the Doctor forgot all about Donna and her little stunt. The only thing on his mind was his Clever Girl who kissed so sweet and soft.

The TARDIS was currently jostling its three passengers all around, all aboard for their newest trip. The Doctor and Minerva were finally granting Donna her first alien planet trip which had the ginger beaming here and there.
"Set the controls to random! Mystery tour," the Doctor explained as the box came to a halt, "Outside that door could be any planet, anywhere, any when in the whole wide- are you all right?" He paused when he saw Donna blinking and looking around.
"Terrified. I mean, history's one thing, but an alien planet..." the ginger breathed.
"I know," Minerva grinned, "Each time I go to a new one, it's just so wonderful! Though I have to say my favorite one is Planet Sto, Astrid took me to all the shops they had."
"Can we go there next?" Donna asked, quite serious. She was never one for shopping but an alien shopping spree didn't sound too bad.
"How about we get through this one first?" the Doctor offered, nodding for the doors where their secret trip awaited them. Donna beamed and nodded fairly fast, "I know what it's like - everything you're feeling right now. The fear, the joy, the wonder - I get that!"
"Seriously? After all this time?" Donna asked, a bit surprised.
"Well, now it's even more wonderful because I got my Clever Girl with me," he wound an arm around Minerva's waist, tugging her closer to him.
Donna rolled her eyes, "Don't start you two," she warned and headed for the doors, "Oh! All right, then, you and me both! This is barmy!" The pair followed, the Doctor stopping for his coat on a rail. "I was born in Chiswick. I've only ever done package holidays. Now I'm here. This is- I mean, it's- I dunno. It's all so- I don't even know what the word is!" Donna opened the door and stepped out into a rather cold snowy environment. "Oh, I've got the word. 'Freezing'," she frowned.
The Doctor stepped out and helped Minerva, taking a quick scan of the place, "Snow! Ah! Real snow! Proper snow at last!" although deep down, the Doctor worried over the climate for a certain Clever Girl.
"I think we deserve real snow," Minerva nodded, no one catching a quick flash of blue her eyes gave as she looked up to the blue sky. She started to shiver as the seconds went by but she didn't want to leave, the place was amazing!
"What do you think?" the Doctor looked at Donna.
"Bit cold," she shivered, hugging herself.
"Look at the view!" Minerva exclaimed, trying to run forwards, but the snow was making it a struggle.
"Yep. A beautiful...cold view," Donna called.
"Millions of planets, millions of galaxies and we're on this one. Molto bene! Belissimo! Says Donna, born in Chiswick. You've had a life of work and sleep," the Doctor caught up with Minerva, snatching her by the waist, suppressing a laugh at her surprised squeals "And the telly and rent," he continued, hugging her to provide some heat for her, "Takeaway dinners, birthdays and Christmases, and two weeks holiday a year and then you end up here! Donna Noble, citizen of the Earth, standing on a different planet. How about that, Donna?"
Crickets.
The pair turned around and saw they were short one ginger.
"Hey, Donna?" Minerva called.
The ginger reappeared from the box of wonders wearing a warm coat with a fur-lined hood, carrying a blue coat in her arm, "Sorry. You were saying?"
"Better?" the Doctor smiled.
"Lovely, thanks."
"Comfy?"
"Yep."
Minerva tilted her head, studying the ginger for a second, "Can you hear anything inside that?"
"Pardon?" she leaned forwards, making Minerva laugh, "Oh, here," she handed Minerva the blue coat.
"Oh thanks!" Minerva took the coat and started putting it on.
"Minerva, we can go back..." the Doctor began but was soon cut off with a hand over his mouth.
"No, I don't want to go. It's lovely and I want to explore," she declared.
The sound of a rocket flying over made the trio look up, Donna gaping at the sight, "A rocket. Blimey, a real, proper rocket. Now that's what I call a spaceship," she slapped the Doctor on the arm, "You've got a box - he's got a Ferrari. Come on, let's see where it's going," she trudged ahead, the Doctor pouting and glancing back at the TARDIS,
Minerva, now dressed in the double-breasted, closed, blue coat, giggled and turned his head back, "I love your box of wonders."
"Really?"
She nodded, her fingers reaching further around his face and pulling him down. "So much," she murmured before kissing him.
"OI!" Donna called back, not about to let a snog session ruin her chances to see about that rocket.
The pair pulled apart with smiles for each other, Donna's call not even perturbing them. The Doctor put an arm around Minerva's waist and headed after the ginger.
"Perhaps we should really go back..." he repeated, not to pleased with her wanting to stay. This was her health after all, they shouldn't risk it.
"Don't you dare," was Minerva's only words on the topic.
~0~
The trio were walking in the direction of the rocket when the Doctor stopped, his head turning as he heard ethereal music somewhere. "Hold on-can you hear that?" he asked, "Donna, take your hood down."
The ginger pulled down her hood, "What?"
"That noise-it's like a song..."
Minerva frowned as she heard something extremely faint, very very faint, "I think...no," she shook her head. She must be dreaming, her head hadn't cleared from her mother's words and her father's pending illness.
"Over there!" the Doctor broke into a run in a different direction.
Then again, if the Doctor had heard it...
After a short run, they found the body of an alien half buried in the snow, an Ood.
"What is it?" Donna asked, she and Minerva kneeling by the body.
"An Ood. He's called an Ood," the Doctor answered, kneeling as well and pulling out a stethoscope.
"The humans' servants?" Minerva frowned as she recalled the story the Doctor told her about when he and Rose had met "the devil". As much as she believed in the spirits, that one was just creepy to her.
"Yup," the Doctor mumbled, the rise of guilt flashing in his mind when he remembered the Ood that had died last time he saw them...thanks to him.
"But its face..." Donna said, a bit horrified at the appearance of the alien.
"Donna, not now. It's a "he", not an "it". Give us a hand," the Doctor gestured for her to kneel on the other side.
"Sorry."
The Doctor moved the stethoscope around the Ood's chest, "I don't know where the heart is. I don't know if he's got a heart. Talk to him. Keep him going."
"What's your name?" Minerva asked softly.
"Designated Ood Delta 50."
Donna, seeing how the Ood's translator ball lit up when it spoke, picked it up and spoke into it, "My name's Donna. That's Minerva."
"No, no, no, no. You don't need to," the Doctor motioned for her to put down the ball.
"Sorry. Oh, God- this is the Doctor. Just what you need - a doctor. Couldn't be better, eh?"
"You've been shot," the Doctor blinked at the injury the Ood bore on its abdominal.
"Who would shoot an Ood?" Minerva frowned, "I thought you said they were peaceful..."
"They are," the Doctor confirmed. Minerva made a good point, if the Ood were peaceful beings...why would they need to be shot?
The Ood struggled to speak out, "The circle—"
"No, don't try to talk," Donna tried shushing it.
"The circle must be broken."
"The circle? What do you mean? Delta 50, what circle? Delta 50? What circle?" the Doctor asked repeatedly.
But suddenly the Ood opened his eyes that were a deep, glowing red. The trio scrambled back as it growled and sat up. But the growl quickly faded and he fell back, dead.
"He's gone, now..." Donna blinked, walking towards the body.
"Careful, Donna," Minerva warned the ginger.
But Donna felt no more threats from the dead alien. She placed a hand on his chest, "There you are, sweetheart," she stroked his head, "We were too late. What do we do, do we bury him?"
"The snow will take care of that," the Doctor stood to his feet, helping Minerva up then.
"Who was he? What's an Ood?" the ginger turned around.
"They're servants - of humans in the 42nd century. Mildly telepathic. That was the song—it was his mind calling out."
"I couldn't hear anything," Donna stood.
"But I could," Minerva frowned, looking at the Doctor with concern, "It was really faint though, only like small snippets that faded as soon as they started. How can I do that if Donna can't and we're both human?"
The Doctor could see that as part of Kaeya's people's abilities—the Moontsay's, abilities. They were mildly telepathic and because the crystal had remnants of Kaeya and her people, then it was sure to have been affecting Minerva in that way as well, allowing a snippet of the telepathic abilities to inhabit Minerva's mind.
"I...don't know, sorry," he sighed, the lying was just getting difficult to do when she wore that sweet, innocent look on her face.
"I told you, you were special," Donna reminded, giving the Doctor a questioning look while the brunette looked ahead. With a nod from him, Donna understood that the crystal was acting up again.
"Oi, you're special too," Minerva countered, believing Donna's silence had gone to those self-esteem doubts of hers. Donna didn't consider herself important nor special in the least minimum and that was something Minerva would not stand for.
"I'm not the one who heard a mind song!" Donna tried playing along with Minerva's beliefs.
"For all we know it was just the TARDIS getting into my head," Minerva shrugged, "I've spent a long time in it now. That was probably it." She glanced at the Doctor for another confirmation.
He did a quick nod and looked back at the dead Ood, not having the courage to look her in the eye and lie once more to her. "His eyes turned red," he said instead, hoping to get off the topic.
"What's that mean?" Donna asked.
"Trouble. Come on," he nodded for the ginger to return. He took Minerva's hand and started walking away.
None of them noticed the small wave of snow purposely moving to cover the Ood in a perfect manner followed by a blue light racing up to the sky.
"The Ood are harmless and completely benign," the Doctor was explaining to Donna, Minerva already knowing from his story telling, "Except the last time I met them there was this force, like a stronger mind, powerful enough to take them over."
"What sort of force?" Donna questioned.
"Long story."
"Long walk."
"It was the devil, Donna," Minerva answered.
Donna raised an eyebrow, tossing her answer to the trash, "If you're gonna take the mickey, I'll just put my hood back up."
"Must be something different this time, though," the Doctor mumbled, "Something closer to home," they peered over a bluff and saw a base, Ood Operations, "A-ha! Civilization!"

Solana Mercurio was greeting a group of buyers for the Ood in front of the company's warehouse, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Ood-Sphere and isn't it bracing? Here are your information packs with vouchers, 3D tickets and a map of the complex," an Ood was passing out the maps to the buyers, "My name's Solana, Head of Marketing. I'm sure we've all spoken on the vid-phone. Now if you'd like to follow me—"
"Sorry, sorry! We're late! Don't mind us! Hello," the Doctor, Minerva, and Donna came running up, all out of breath, "The guards let us through."
"And you would be—"
The Doctor flashed his psychic paper, "The Doctor, Donna Noble and Minerva Souza."
"Representing the Noble Corporation, PLC Limited, Intergalactic," Donna supplied, Minerva shooting her a proud wink for her quick wit.
"Must have fallen off my list. My apologies, it won't happen again," Solana smiled, writing down their names, "Now then, Dr, Noble, Mrs. Noble, Miss Souza, if you'd like to come with me—"
"Oh, no, no, no. We're not married," the Doctor shook his head, irritated that once again people mistook Donna for his wife.
"We're so not married," Donna added.
"Never."
"Never ever."
"Good because I'd kill both of them if they did that to me," Minerva smirked, taking the Doctor's hand in hers, "My sister cannot marry my boyfriend."
"The only one I'd ever marry is you," the Doctor blurted quite absently, however his comment didn't go over Minerva's head.
"Really?" she blushed, "You'd want to marry me?"
The Doctor, who was now sporting a red blush on his face after realizing what he said, started stuttering, "Well, I mean...y-yes, but not if you-you d-didn't want to. I-I mean if it was al-al right with y-y-you and..." He took a forceful pause, actually afraid he might have scared her off.
"Right, so can we go in?" Donna asked, biting down her laugh at the pair. They were just adorably hilarious!
"Of course. Here is your information pack. Vouchers inside," Solana handed Donna the packet, "Now, if you'd like to come with me, the executive suites are nice and warm." An alarm blared, making everyone look around.
"Ooh, what's that? Sounds like an alarm," the Doctor tried locating the origin of the alarm.
"It's just a siren for the end of the work shift. Now then, this way! Quick as you can!" Solana ushered them inside, also looking about and wondering what the hell was going on.
On a turn of a hallway, Minerva turned around in front of the Doctor and pulled him down into a surprise, passionate kiss, "For the record, I would love to marry you one day," she smiled, Eskimo kissing him afterwards.
The Doctor blinked then smiled, blushing again but this time it was worth it knowing his Clever Girl would actually want to be his wife in a future...

Solana was expounding the qualities of the Ood which stood on pedestals for display to the potential buyers, "As you can see, the Ood are happy to serve and we keep them in facilities of the highest standards, "Here at the Double-O - that's Ood Operations - we like to think of the Ood as our trusted friends, "We keep the Ood healthy, safe and educated, "We don't just breed the Ood, we make them better, "Because at heart, what is an Ood... but an extension of us? If your Ood is happy then you'll be happy too," Solana finished with a grand smile and received a round of applause from the buyers. She stepped off her pedestal and moved to the Ood standing in a row, at the center of the room, on circular platforms, "I'd now like to point out a new innovation from Ood Operations. We've introduced a variety package with the Ood translator ball. You can now have the standard setting - 'How are you today, Ood?'" she stopped by the first Ood.
"I'm perfectly well, thank you."
"Or perhaps after a stressful day, a little something for the gentlemen. How are you, Ood?" she moved onto the second.
"All the better for seeing you," the second Ood answered in a sultry female voice.
"And the comedy classic option. Ood, you dropped something."
"D'oh!" the third Ood answered in a Homer Simpson voice, making everyone laugh.
"All that for only five additional credits. The details are in your brochures. Now, there's plenty more food and drink, so don't hold back," Solana stepped back and allowed the buyers to mingle about.
"This is all wrong," Minerva muttered, nearly glaring at the potential buyers.
The Doctor slipped on his glasses and headed to the control board where he switched on the screen. Donna grabbed a drink and followed, along with Minerva, over to the Doctor.
"Ah, got it. The Ood-Sphere," the Doctor pointed to the screen which showed their current location, "I've been to this solar system before - years ago. Ages. Close to the planet Sense-Sphere. Let's widen it out... the year 4126. That is the Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire."
"4126? It's 4126? I'm in 4126?" Donna gasped, Minerva smiling in amusement at her.
"It's good, isn't it?"
"What's the Earth like now?"
"A bit full, but you see, the empire stretches out across three galaxies," the Doctor gestured to three lines connecting in a near triangle across the screen.
I"t's weird. I mean, it's brilliant, but... back home, the papers and the telly, they keep saying we haven't got long to live - global warming, flooding, all the bees disappearing."
"Yeah. That thing about the bees is odd," the Doctor mumbled absently.
"But look at us - we're everywhere. Is that good or bad, though? I mean, are we like explorers or more like a virus?"
"Sometimes I wonder..."
"Oi," Minerva elbowed the Doctor in the ribs, "Don't diss my species," she wagged a finger.
"Oh but what a beautiful virus you are," he teased, taking her pointing finger and kissing it, making her laugh.
"What are the red dots?" Donna asked, chuckling herself and pointing to the dots.
"Ood distribution centers," the Doctor replied, distracted as he kissed each Minerva's fingers, she laughed even harder.
"Across three galaxies? Don't the Ood get a say in this?" Donna questioned, deciding to find out for herself as she saw the pair get into another moment of theirs, "Um... sorry, but..." she tapped the Ood gently, "Hello. Tell me, are you all like this?"
"I do not understand, miss."
"Why do you say, "miss"? Do I look single?"
"Donna, any guy would die for you," Minerva turned around.
"Says the woman who has an alien for a boyfriend," Donna frowned, "C'mon, even the spaceman has a girlfriend!"
"Don't do the 'says' thing, that's mine," Minerva pouted.
"And why do you say it like it's impossible for me to actually have a girlfriend?" the Doctor looked the ginger with a pout.
"Have you seen yourself?" Donna gave him a quick look over.
"I have," Minerva mumbled to the side, blushing deeply for her comment.
Donna shuddered. "Ew."
"Not like that!" Minerva quickly exclaimed, blushing even harder.
"Back to the point, please," the Doctor nearly pleaded, sporting his own embarrassed blush.
"Right. What I mean is, are there any free Ood?" Donna turned to the Ood, "Are there any Ood running wild somewhere like wildebeest?"
"All Ood are born to serve. Otherwise we would die," the Ood answered.
"No one can be born to just serve," Minerva said, sadly looking from one Ood to another, "Everyone has a purpose. Everyone is important."
"Before the humans, what were you like?" Donna asked the Ood, the alien simply tilting it's head.
"The circle," it said.
The Doctor tensed, recalling the last Ood's words, "What do you mean? What circle?"
"The circ- the circle- is-"
"Ladies and gentlemen. All Ood to hospitality stations, please," Solana called.
All the Ood started to leave. The Doctor took off his glasses and reached into his pocket for the map of the complex, "I've had enough of the schmoozing. Do you fancy going off the beaten track?"
"Is that a date?" Minerva raised an eyebrow, playfully biting her lip, "Full of adrenaline?"
"What kind of alien boyfriend would I be if I didn't offer a date like that?" he smirked.
"Then off we go!" she beamed, moving to go ahead when she was yanked back, the Doctor giving her a sharp look, "What?"
"You know the word," he reminded.
"What's the word?" Donna stepped to their side, curious.
Minerva groaned, "Allons-y, then..."
"What?" the ginger frowned, confused.
The Doctor beamed and planted a kiss on Minerva's cheek, "Allons-y!"
"That's such a stupid word!" Minerva shook her head, letting the Martian lead them away, her hand in his.

The trio came to a locked gate and the Doctor used his sonic to open it.
"Ood Shift 8 commencing," a voice over rang around the area, "I repeat, Ood Shift 8 commencing."
The trio climbed up a couple steps and looked down into an open area where two rows of Ood were being marched. An Ood at the end of one of the rows fell to its knees, a soldier, Kess, walked over to it, "Get up. I said, get up!" he ordered, cracking a whip.
"They're slaves," Minerva said with utter disgust, "Doctor, you forgot to mention that," she shot him a sharp look.
"Get up!" Kess ordered again, the poor Ood standing up, "March!"
"Last time I met the Ood, I never thought, never asked..." the Doctor mumbled, trying to avoid Minerva's eyes.
"That's not like you," Donna shook her head.
"I was busy..."
"That looks like the boss," Minerva nodded over to two men walking after the Ood, another Ood walking along with them.
"Let's keep out of his way. Come on," the Doctor led them down the stairs and off to another place.
~0~
The trio were striding down a line of warehouses, the Doctor lagging behind as he looked at the map of the complex.
Donna and Minerva stopped at a door where Donna whistled loudly, making the Doctor duck and turn back, "Where did you learn to whistle?" he joined them.
"West Ham, every Saturday," Donna shrugged.
"You are so my sister," Minerva laughed, "I've got a whistle of my own."
"Yeah, where did you learn?" she asked as the Doctor used the sonic on the door.
"I've been on the road since I was fourteen, after I left uncle Aaron I started hitching some rides. You gotta have a whistler like no other."
The door slid open and the group went inside. They found it was a warehouse that was filled with dozens of large shipping containers. There was even a large metal claw that moved along the track in the ceiling, currently lifting and moving some of the containers.
"Ood Export. You see?" the Doctor pointed up to the claw, "Lifts up the containers, takes 'em to the rocket ships. Ready to be flown out all over the three galaxies."
"What, you mean- These containers are full of..." Donna trailed off, she and Minerva gazing up at the claw.
"What do you think?" the Doctor moved to the nearest container and opened it up.
"Oh my god," Minerva clapped her hand over her mouth, appalled at the many Ood standing inside the container in a formation.
"Oh, it stinks. How many of 'em do you think there are in each one?" Donna crinkled her nose at the scent.
"A hundred? More?"
"A great, big empire, built on slavery," Donna frowned.
"It's not so different from your time," the Doctor countered, both women glaring at him.
"We don't have slaves," Donna snapped.
"I didn't even use the maids in my house," Minerva added.
"Who do you think made your clothes?"
Minerva and Donna looked down at their current clothes, suddenly self conscious about them.
"Is that why you travel round with a human at your side? It's not so you can show them the wonders of the universe, it's so you can take cheap shots," Donna spat.
"Sorry..."
"What are you sorry for? Showing us the dark sides of species," Minerva sighed and moved over to his side. He sighed of relief that she hadn't taken offense to it and dropped a kiss to her hair.
"I don't understand, the door was open—why didn't you just run away?" Donna asked the Ood that had remained still.
"For what reason?" one of the Ood asked.
"You could be free," Minerva offered, thinking that was more than enough of a reason to run.
"I do not understand the concept."
"What is it with that Persil ball? I mean, they're not born with it, are they? Why do they have to be all plugged in?" Donna looked at the pair, confused.
"Ood, tell me, does "the circle" mean anything to you?" the Doctor asked, all the Ood's translator balls lighting up as they answered in unison.
"The circle must be broken."
"Whoa, that is creepy," Minerva's eyes widened.
"But what is it? What is the circle?" the Doctor insisted.
"The circle must be broken."
"But why?"
"So that we can sing."
Up above, Kess, along with two guards, had found the group. Kess walked over to a comms, "Mr Halpen, I'm in Ood cargo. I found your unwanted guests," he turned to the guards, "Go!" and he hit a button, an alarm blared.
"That's us, come on!" the Doctor yanked Minerva by the hand and started running.
The trio ran down the maze of shipping containers, Donna stopping at the sight of a door, "Doctor! Minerva! There's a door!" she headed for it when it opened up and guards rushed in.
"Don't move!" one of the guards held a gun to the ginger.
Donna raised her hands in surrender, unaware that the pair had ran off without her.
~0~
"N-n-n-no, wait!" Minerva stopped the Doctor, "We're short one ginger!" they both looked around to see it was just them.
"Stay where you are!" they hard a guard shout from a distance.
"Gotta keep going!" the Doctor pulled her away again, several of the guards beginning to find them.
~ 0 ~
Kess moved down a catwalk and looked down as the pair ran down the maze.
~ 0~
"Donna? Where are you?!" Minerva shouted, frantically looking around for their ginger friend.
~ 0 ~
"All guards withdraw," Kess ordered into the comm.
"Sir?"
"I said withdraw. Keep to the perimeter. I've got these two."
~ 0 ~
Down below, the Doctor and Minerva stopped, the Doctor pressing himself against a container to listen.
"Where is she?" Minerva panted for air, leaning against the container on her back.
~ 0 ~
"I've always wanted to do this," Kess turned on the equipment around him, taking a seat at the controller of the claw.
~ 0~
"Doctor," Minerva tugged on his sleeve and pointed up, both of them seeing the claw moving for them.
"Don't you dare!" he almost growled, yanking her away. If they dared to touch even a strand of Minerva's hair with that thing...
"Where are gonna go!?" Minerva called, glancing back as the claw neared them.
The claw was sent smashing down, just narrowly missing the pair.
~0~
"Can you help me?" Donna stood to her feet, one of the Ood raising its head...with its eyes red, "Oh, no you don't," the ginger breathed in horror.
~0~
Minerva screamed as she and the Doctor fell and rolled on the floor, "It's gonna get us!" she cried as the Doctor jumped to his feet and pulled her for another run.
He cast a glare up to Kess as they ran again.
~0~
"Stay where you are, that's an order! I said stay! Doctor! Minerva!" Donna pounded on the door, the Ood taking slow steps for her.
~0~
The claw knocked the pair again, this time sending them over some barrels and finally to the floor on their backs.
"It's coming," Minerva pointed up, panting for her air.
The Doctor quickly rolled over her, not going to let anyone hurt her if he could help it. He would not fail her, never again. Minerva screwed her eyes shut and held onto the Doctor's lapels when the claw dropped for them, terrified of what could come next.
~0~
Another hand turned off the control up where Kess was, halting the claw just mere inches from the pair below.
~0~
The Doctor lifted his head up, thanking every possible god he knew of for their streak of luck.
"Why aren't we dead yet?" Minerva whispered, her eyes still shut. The Doctor looked down at her and chuckled, internally debating what he was laughing at: her question or her adorable scrunched face. He leaned down and kissed her, without a question Minerva responding to it, "Why are we kissing when we could die?" she murmured against his lips.
"Open your eyes and you'll see," he pulled back so she could see above.
Minerva's eyes opened and gazed above at the claw just inches above them, "We have extremely good luck," she whispered.
The Doctor looked at her eyes, just loving how really deep their shade of green was, they were lovely. He could possibly stare at them all day...
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Minerva blinked, blushing at how close they were and their position at the moment.
"I just love your eyes," he remarked, resting his forehead on hers. He also blushed at her closeness; he could actually feel her breath hitting him as she panted.
"Are you ever gonna get off me?" she asked quietly, her blush growing deeper, "Because I think they're coming..." she tilted her head back to see running feet coming for them.
"Ruin the moment why don't they," he muttered as he pushed him self up, Minerva laughing as he helped her.

"Doctor, get me out of here!" Donna shouted endlessly from her container as the Doctor and Minerva were being brought by guards.
"If I were you, I'd listen to the ginger," Minerva said to the guards, "You want trouble, simply upset Donna Noble."
"Unlock the container," Kess gave the order.
The door of the container was opened and out came Donna running to hug the pair, "Oh thank god!"
"Nice to see you again, Donna," Minerva flashed a smile.
"All safe and sound," the Doctor added.
"Never mind about me, what about them?" Donna pointed to the row of red-eyed Ood marching out of the container and killing several guards.
"Red alert! Fire!" Kess ordered and started to shoot along with the rest of the guards, "Shoot to kill!"
The trio took the opportunity and made their escape. They ran out of the warehouse, along with Solana, and stopped once they felt they had a decent distance from the Ood.
"If the people back on Earth knew what was going on here..." Donna leaned against a wall as she caught her breath.
"Don't be stupid. Of course they know," Solana waved her off.
"They know how you treat the Ood?"
"No, but they don't ask, same thing," Minerva spat, a new disgusted expression in her eyes, "What does the company do to make them obey?"
"That has nothing to do with me."
"Why cos you don't ask?" Minerva gritted her teeth.
"That's Dr. Ryder's territory!"
"Where is he?" the Doctor moved over, "What part of the complex?" he held the map to her, "I could help with the red-eye. Now show me!"
"Don't think that's gonna work," Donna dashed off.
The Doctor took Minerva's hand, keeping her quite close to him as they ran. No one even looked up to see the blue light just hovering over the spot they had been in.
Solana hurried to a nearby comm. and switched it on, "Mr Halpen, I found the Doctor. He's heading for Ood Conversion."
"On my way," Mr. Halpen replied.
Solana switched off the comm. and took a deep breath, finally returning to normal. A sudden wind picked up as the guards ran past her, under the blue light. The wind held them back for a couple of minutes, as if it was trying to stall.
~0~
The trio stopped by another warehouse, the Doctor looking around as he heard the same Ood song again, "Oh, can you hear it? I didn't need the map. I should've listened!" he used the sonic on the door and unlocked it, ushering Minerva and Donna in before going in himself and locking it shut again.
"Does that mean we're locked in?" Donna frowned at the turn of events. She had just been trapped in a container with red-eyed Ood, did she really want to be trapped in a whole warehouse of more Ood?
Minerva looked around as she felt a faint song run through her mind, "Do you hear that?" she whispered.
They headed for some stairs and went down to discover some cages.
"Oh, my head," the Doctor put a hand on his head, feeling it pound with so much music and a high volume.
"What is it?" Donna asked.
"Like...like singing," Minerva mumbled, "But it doesn't hurt me," she looked at the Doctor, "Because I can't hear it properly, I guess..."
They stopped at a cage where Ood were huddled together. The Doctor switched on a light to get a better view.
"They look different to the others," Donna remarked.
"That's because they're natural-born Ood. Unprocessed. Before they're adapted to slavery. Unspoiled," the Doctor explained as he squatted in front of the cage, the two women following, "That's their song."
"But I can't hear it," Donna sighed, tired of being the only one who couldn't hear the blasted song.
"Do you want to?"
"Yeah," she turned to face the Doctor.
Minerva tilted her head at the Ood, carefully focusing to the small snippets she heard.
"It's the song of captivity," the Doctor explained as he placed his fingertips on Donna's temples.
"Well, let me hear it, spaceman."
"Open your mind. That's it. Hear it, Donna... Hear the music."
But Donna gasped and faced the Ood, tears streaming down her face as she heard, in a max volume, the song of "captivity". It was...it awful. She could actually feel her heart breaking at their sadness, their sorrow.
"Take it away," Donna breathed, turning to the Doctor again, begging him, "Please..."
"You sure?" the Doctor asked, also catching Minerva's look.
"Oh god yes, please..." Donna nodded, letting him place his fingertips on her temples again, "...I'm sorry."
"It's okay."
"But you can still hear it," she said after he was done.
"All the time," he said sadly.
"This is completely awful," Minerva sighed, putting a hand over her head, "We need to stop them."
The Doctor used the sonic on the cage while the women heard a noise from the level above, "They're breaking in," Minerva looked up.
"Ah, let 'em," the Doctor entered the cage as the Ood tried shuffling away, "What are you holding?" he asked them, one of the Ood looking up in shyness, "Friend. Doctor, Donna, Minerva, friend. Look at me. Let me see," the Ood came closer, "That's it. That's it, go on. Go on."
One of them held out his cupped hands and removed the top to reveal a mushy...
"Brain?" Minerva frowned.
"It's a brain. A hindbrain," the Doctor explained, "The Ood are born with a secondary brain. Like the amygdala in humans, it process memory and emotion. You get rid of that, you wouldn't be Minerva or Donna anymore. You'd be like an Ood. A processed Ood."
"So the company... cuts off their brains?" Donna could barely utter the words as she thought of the horror those poor Ood went through.
"And stitches on the translator..."
"Like a lobotomy. I spent all that time looking for you two," the ginger looked between the pair, "Because I thought it would be so wonderful out here. I want to go home."
Both stunned, the pair looked at Donna for a second before Mr. Halpen and the others arrived, "They're with the Ood, sir," a guard said.
The Doctor slammed the cage door shut, "What are you gonna do, then? Arrest us? Lock us up? Well, you're too late! Hah!"

Now in Mr. Halpen's office, the trio were being handcuffed to a pole by guards. Minerva could not be angrier with the Doctor. "Seriously, stop talking!" she yelled at him.
The Doctor flinched at her loud tone. Of course he was guilty that he'd gotten her and Donna cuffed...but it was all for a good cause after all...he'd just have to apologize in a big way again.
"Why don't you just come out and say it? FOTO activists," Mr. Halpen crossed his arms and leaned against his desk, eyeing the trio with suspicion.
"If that's what Friends of the Ood are trying to prove, then yes," the Doctor snapped.
"The Ood were nothing without us - just animals roaming around on the ice."
"Who the hell are you to decide that?" Minerva raised an eyebrow, "It's because you can't hear their songs...their...very sad song." She looked down, even though she couldn't hear the song in all its volume and glory, she could still feel it in her heart...her heart just seem to ache at it.
"They welcomed it! It's not as if they put up a fight," Mr. Halpen shrugged.
"You idiot! They're born with their brain in their hands, don't you see? That makes them peaceful! They've got to be because a creature like that would have to trust anyone it meets!" Donna was trying very hard not to yell for the first time in her life.
"Nice one," the Doctor whispered to her.
"Thank you."
"The system's worked for 200 years. All we've got is a rogue batch. But the infection is about to be sterilized," Mr. Halpen moved to the comm., "Mr Kess, how do we stand?"
~ 0 ~
In the warehouse, guards were moving canisters into position by the fenced-in, red-eyed and rabid Ood. Kess stood watch, "Canisters primed, sir. As soon as the core heats up, the gas is released. Give it 200 marks... and counting."
~ 0 ~
"You're going to gas them?!" Minerva gasped.
"Kill the livestock. The classic foot-and-mouth solution. Still works," Mr. Halpen said.
Her eyes narrowed, her eyes flashing blue for a brief second to speak, "You were just like them," she mumbled before blinking and looking around.
The Doctor wondered who she meant by 'just like them'. He supposed that was a brief slip of the crystal inside her. But what did it mean? Was it supposed to be his people at the time of the Time War? Someone the Moontsays had disagreements with as well?
Perhaps this wasn't even what he should be thinking about. His poor Clever Girl was suffering without even noticing. He just wanted to fix this before she realized what was going on. He didn't want her know and see how terrified she'd be. This was his job and he was going to see to it that nothing happened to her. She would only be happy and happy and happy, just like she should be. She had such a big heart and she didn't deserve this. She'd gone through so much, endured so much from her family and from alien nonsense she had no business being in. And yet after all that, she still had such a big heart; such kindness inside her. The Doctor loved that about her— the fact that she wasn't corrupted by her mother, by the alien mishaps.
He just loved it...he loved...loved...
He blinked as he picked out the repetitive word running through his head and shook it fiercely. This was not the time to be thinking of any of that.

The unprocessed Ood put their hands out to the side...
~ 0 ~
The fenced-in red-eyed Ood stood in the center of the warehouse of containers with their hands out to their sides...
~ 0 ~
The Oods in the showroom gripped their heads as if they were in pain...
~ 0 ~
The fenced-in Ood in the warehouse joined in on the song along with the unprocessed Ood, the volume increasing.
~ 0 ~
The alarms blared inside Mr. Halpen's office, "What the hell?" the man looked around. He, along with Ryder and Ood Sigma, exited the office and left the trio cuffed to the pole. They rushed out to see the guards shooting at the infected Ood.
"It's a revolution," Ryder stared in awe. Halpen pushed past him and went up the stairs, Ood Sigma following in.
~ 0 ~
In the warehouse, Kess had been fenced in instead of the Ood, the canisters still active and his gas mask thrown on the other side of the fence, "Come back! Let me out of here!"
The canisters released the gas and Kess screamed.
~ 0 ~
"Change of plan," Mr. Halpen hurriedly entered his office.
"No reports of trouble off-world, sir. It's still contained to the Ood-Sphere," Ryder entered after him.
"Then we've got a public duty to stop it before it spreads."
"What's happening?" the Doctor asked, just able to hear the shooting from outside.
"Everything you wanted, Doctor. No doubt there'll be a full police investigation once this place has been sterilized so I can't risk a bullet to the head. I'll leave you to the mercies of the Ood," Mr. Halpen headed for the door.
"But, Mr Halpen, there's something else, isn't there? Something we haven't seen," the Doctor called, making the man stop.
"What do you mean?" Donna asked, confused.
"The creature couldn't survive with a separate forebrain and hindbrain, they'd be at war with themselves. There's got to be something else, a third element. Am I right?"
"Again, so clever," Mr. Halpen said.
"It's got to be connected to the red-eye. What is it?"
Mr. Halpen looked at the Doctor in the eye for a second, "It won't exist for very much longer. Enjoy your Ood," and he left the office with everyone else.
The trio immediately started to try and free themselves from their cuffs.
"Well, do something! You're the one with all the tricks! You must've met Houdini!" Donna cried.
"These are really good handcuffs!" the Doctor exclaimed.
"Yes, because it's all about the quality, Martian!" Minerva reached up to her hair and plucked out a bobby-pin.
"Are you really going to try to get out of this with a pin?" Donna shook her head.
"Donna, I've opened the TARDIS with a pin. What's a handcuff to me?"
The Ood entered and made them all desist in their struggles. They started marching towards them, making them scream out in unison that they were friends.
"Doctor, Donna, Minerva, friends!" the Doctor shouted.
"The circle must be broken!" Donna and Minerva added together.
"Doctor, Donna, Minerva, friends!"
"The circle must be broken!"
"Doctor, Donna, Minerva friends!"
"The circle must be broken!"
"Friends, friends, friends! "
"The circle must be broken!"
"Doctor, Donna, Minerva, friends!"
"The circle must be broken!"
"Doctor, Donna, Minerva, friends!"
"The circle must be broken!"
"Doctor, Donna, Minerva, friends!"
"The circle must be broken!"
The Ood held out their translator balls to them but stopped just literal inches away from the trio's translator balls switched off and the Ood held their head in their hands. One lifted its head and the group saw his eyes were normal again, "Doctor. Donna. Minerva. Friends."
"Oh, that's us!" Donna leaned her head back in relief, "That's us!"
"Yes, that's us! Friends! Oh, yes!" the Doctor laughed.
"Do you think you could set us free? My pin broke." Minerva gestured to her handcuff, so innocently that it just added to the Doctor's joyful laughter.

The trio ran down the stairs from Halpen's office and across the compound, careful around the ongoing fight. The Doctor came to a halt as he tried to think, "I don't know where it is! I don't know where they've gone!"
"What are we looking for?" Minerva asked.
"Might be underground, like some sort of cave or a cavern or..." the Doctor looked around as they continued to run.
~ 0 ~
On a turn, an explosion knocked the group to the ground.
"Alright?" the Doctor glanced between Minerva and Donna.
"Peachy," Minerva rubbed her head.
The smoke cleared up and they saw Ood Sigma standing in front of them.
~ 0 ~
The group arrived in front of the Warehouse thanks to Ood Sigma where the Doctor used the sonic on the panel to get inside. They rushed in to see a great large brain being kept below within an energy field.
"The Ood brain. Now it all makes sense. That's the missing link. The third element, binding them together," the Doctor said as they all looked below, "Forebrain, hindbrain and this. The telepathic center. It's a shared mind... connecting all the Ood in song."
A weapon clicked behind them and they turned to see Mr. Halpen holding a gun to them, "Cargo. I can always go into cargo. I've got the rockets, I've got the sheds. Smaller business. Much more manageable without livestock."
"He's mined the area," Ryder said.
"You're gonna kill it," Minerva whispered, "The weaker species, huh?" She didn't know why but her chest seemed to ache. "Why? They're innocent..."
But Mr. Halpen ignored the girl, after all that had happened he really could care less about the Ood being 'innocent' and whatnot, "They found that thing centuries ago beneath the northern glacier," he chose to focus on the brain instead. If they were to die, then they might as well know what the thing was.
"Those pylons..." the Doctor said to the women.
"In a circle. "The circle must be broken."" Donna realized, Minerva nodding in agreement.
"Dampening the telepathic field, stopping the Ood from connecting for 200 years."
"And you, Ood Sigma, you brought them here. I expected better," Mr. Halpen shot the Ood a look.
"My place is at your side, sir," Ood Sigma moved to Halpen's side.
He laughed, "Still subservient. Good Oo—" he stopped when he felt a lump in his throat.
"If that barrier thing's in place, how come the Ood started breaking out?" Minerva asked.
"Maybe it's taken centuries to adapt. The subconscious reaching out," the Doctor offered, not so sure himself.
"But the process was too slow, had to be accelerated," Ryder spoke up, turning to Mr. Halpen, "You should never have given me access to the controls, Mr Halpen. I lowered the barrier to its minimum. Friends of the Ood, sir. It's taken me ten years to infiltrate the company. And I succeeded."
"Yes. Yes, you did," Mr. Halpen nodded then pushed Ryder over the railing.
"You murdered him!" Minerva cried, disgusted by the man.
No one dared to look down as they believed Ryder to be absorbed by the brain and so none of them saw the blue glow of light rushing down and making him fade away just before he would actually touch the brain.
"Very observant, brunette. Now then, can't say I've ever shot anyone before... can't say I'm gonna like it, but, uh, it's not exactly a normal day, is it? Still..." he aimed the gun at them.
"Would you like a drink, sir?" Ood Sigma moved in front of the group.
Mr. Halpen laughed, "I think hair loss is the least of my problems right now, thanks."
"Please have a drink, sir," Ood Sigma held a glass out.
"If- if you're gonna stand in their way, I'll shoot you too..." Mr. Halpen seemed to struggle to speak, his last words coming out slurry.
"Please have a drink, sir."
"Have-have you...poisoned me?"
"Natural Ood must never kill, sir."
"What is that stuff?" the Doctor asked curiously.
"Ood-graft suspended in a biological compound."
"He's looking...pale," Minerva remarked, Halpen looking extremely unwell.
"What the hell does that mean?" Mr. Halpen asked, almost gagging.
"Oh dear," the Doctor breathed.
"Tell me!"
"Funny thing, the subconscious. Takes all sorts of shapes. It came out in the red-eye as revenge. It came out in the rabid Ood as anger. And then there was patience. All that intelligence and mercy focused on Ood Sigma. How's the hair loss, Mr Halpen?"
"What have you done?"
"Oh, they've been preparing you for a very long time. And now you're standing next to the Ood brain. Mr Halpen, can you hear it? Listen."
Mr. Halpen looked to the side as he heard the faint Ood Song in his mind, "What have you-I'm... not-"
Ood Sigma stepped out of the way for the group to see what was going on. Mr. Halpen dropped the gun and gripped his head in agony. He pulled at his scalp and it actually came off, revealing an Ood head. He lurched down as he gagged, tentacles coming out of his mouth.
"They-they turned him into an Ood?" Donna gaped.
"Yup," the Doctor nodded, looking at Donna and Minerva and finding the clever girl to be somewhat distance.
"Minerva?" he asked.
"They died, so many died," she whispered so sadly it broke his hearts. She placed a hand over her heart and he knew that it was another slip of the crystal.
Mr. Halpen made an odd gurgling noise and coughed up his secondary brain.
"He has become Ood-kind and we will take care of him," Ood Sigma said.
"It's weird, being with you two," Donna remarked, "I can't tell what's right and what's wrong anymore."
"It's better that way. People who know for certain tend to be like Mr Halpen," the Doctor said and heard a loud beeping noise, "Oh!" he turned off the detonation packs quickly, "That's better. And now... Ood Sigma, will you allow me the honor?"
"It is yours, Doctor."
"Oh yes!" the Doctor went to the equipment that powered the field, "Stifled for over 200 years but not anymore. The circle is broken. The Ood can sing!"
The field around the brain shut off and the song emerged, heard by everyone now.
"I can hear it!" Donna exclaimed as the Doctor laughed.
Minerva turned to the Doctor, his laughter cutting short when he saw her face covered in tears. He rushed up to her, pulling her away from the others, "What's wrong!? Why are you crying!?" he checked her over for any physical injuries he might have missed earlier.
"I...I don't know," Minerva admitted, looking around as she thought, "My chest," she placed her hand over her chest again, "It...it hurts, it's...this..this is so sad."
The Doctor grew silent, that was Kaeya's pain, Kaeya's pain breaking through.
"Why am I so sad?" Minerva burst into tears.
The Doctor pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, looking over her to Donna who stared with confusion and concern. For such a happy moment, it hadn't felt like it...
~ 0 ~
The Doctor and Donna stood outside the TARDIS, Ood Sigma and several others a few feet away from them. The Doctor kept the door open in case Minerva were to call or shout for him. She'd been put to rest after her sudden crying, no struggles given for the first time. The Doctor had made sure her she was as comfortable as possible. He felt responsible, truly responsible, for everything Minerva was going through. He felt so impotent with the situation and frankly, he didn't know how long he could last like this. Finding Kaeya was proving to be an even bigger challenge than it was with Aaron Lozano.
He had to basically sit there and watch how Minerva endured Kaeya's crystal's effects.
"The message has gone out. That song resonated across the galaxies. Everyone heard it. Everyone knows. The rockets are bringing them back. The Ood are coming home," the Doctor spoke, his thoughts pushed away as he focused on the Ood. The faster he finished up here, the faster he could get to Minerva's side and take care of her.
"We thank you, Doctor, Donna, friends of Ood-kind," Ood Sigma said, "And what of you now? Will you stay? There is room in the song for you."
"Oh-I've-I've sorta got a song of my own, thanks."
"I think your song must end soon."
The Doctor stiffened, "Meaning?"
"Every song must end. Even a flower's song must end."
"Yeah..." the Doctor turned to Donna, avoiding the trouble to think of those confusing words, "Um, what about you? Do you still want to go home?"
"Nope, I think there's someone in that box that needs my help," Donna gave him a sharp look. She would certainly not be leaving the spaceman and Minerva at any moment, not when there was this big of a problem with Minerva. Besides the traveling and all its glory, she truly did take a liking to Minerva, and she wanted help the Doctor in any way so Minerva would be well again.
"Then we'll be off," the Doctor cleared his throat, the ginger certainly had a look of doom when she wanted to.
"Take this song with you," Ood Sigma said.
"We will," Donna nodded.
"Always," the Doctor added.
"And know this, you will never be forgotten. Our children will sing of the Moontsay-Doctors, and our children's children, and the wind and the ice and the snow will carry your names forever."
If the Doctor hadn't been too focused on Minerva he would've caught the alerting word in the Ood's words. He, along with Donna who had missed the word as well, quickly hurried inside the TARDIS.
Once gone, there was a rush of wind and snow scurrying behind the Ood, making them all turn.
Dr. Ryder stood on the snow, stumbling back, "What...what happened?" he shivered and hugged himself, "It's so cold," he dropped to his knees, feeling too weak to stand, not to mention the blazing coldness.
"She is returning," Ood Sigma said, "Moontsay, friend of the Ood."
The blue light behind Dr. Ryder glowed stronger for a second or two and rushed up to the sky again.

Donna stood in front of a stove in the TARDIS kitchen, awaiting for hot chocolate to finish up. The Doctor sat at the table, waiting for her to finish up. He knew Minerva would be waking up soon and he wanted to have something nice and warm for her. She had been freezing when he brought her into the TARDIS and her room. He had wrapped her in blankets and left a heater in her room after he left, hoping it would be enough to bring her temperature up to a human status. And since he could only do milkshakes at the moment, coldness, he asked Donna to help make a nice hot chocolate.
"I just don't understand what the whole crying thing was about," Donna leaned against the counter, watching the hot chocolate in case it was ready yet.
The Doctor sighed, having thought about that more thoroughly, "During the war, Kaeya's people, most of them, died as bystanders. Kaeya lost everything and I think the situation paralleled with the Ood."
"That's awful," Donna shook her head, "To lose everything, to lose a home...I tell you, I lost it with my father's passing, I don't think I could manage losing everything like..." she eyed him cautiously.
"Like Kaeya and I," he finished for her, "It's okay to say it. But, technically, Kaeya hasn't truly lost everything. Her planet is still here, with only her grandfather-"
"A grandfather she thinks is also dead," Donna pointed out, "She has no idea that some of her people have survived to this day.
"I'll gladly take her to see Mayar," the Doctor sighed, "Though I'll probably stay inside the TARDIS."
"What are you going to do when the princess returns?" Donna looked back, "I mean, you said she was in love with you, but...there's someone new in the picture now."
"For some time I believed Kaeya had changed into some dark woman, but now I understand that she was sick. I still care for her, just..."
"...not the way you used to," Donna finished for him.
"I'd like to be friends but not if it makes Minerva feel uncomfortable, and definitely not if it only hurts Kaeya."
"That's big of you," Donna nodded, "But how do you know Kaeya won't bring the claws out to fight for you," she chuckled a little and sat down on the table while the chocolate finished up.
"If she's truly the same woman that I knew for centuries then I know she won't do anything."
"Why though? I mean, I don't know a lot but you said there'd been centuries of love between you two."
"Donna I was married," the Doctor announced, becoming silent as he thought of that wasted time with Kaeya as well.
It seemed to parallel his time with Minerva. Granted, a year didn't compare to centuries but the pain was the same. There was so much they could've done together, he and Kaeya, but under the circumstances their 'courting' was cut short the moment his marriage had been arranged.
"Tell me the story," Donna quietly edged, seeing the troubled thoughts on his face.
"No," he shook his head, snapping out of the thoughts.
"C'mon, remember what I said? I'm here to help Minerva and you. Minerva's told me nearly everything about you."
"Another time, I promise," he said instead, actually meaning it.
It would be nice to get the story off his chest and get an opinion that didn't belong to Minerva. He knew that Minerva would never scold him for his past, just because of who she was and what he was to her. But Donna always spoke her mind. He knew that she would say when he'd messed up, give him the real scold he needed, the real advice he needed. Perhaps, like Martha was to Minerva a confidant, Donna could be his.
"Alright spaceman, I'm holding you to that," Donna stood and went to a cabinet, "I'll understand the little love talks about a girlfriend/boyfriend."
"N-n-n-no, it's not like that yet," the Doctor shook his head.
"Oh c'mon, you don't have to lie to me, spaceman," she winked, "I can keep a secret," she whispered.
"I'm not lying," he shrugged 'casually'.
"But you're almost there," Donna studied his face, smiling sadly, "I know it because...that's the look that Lance used to give me, a fake one, but...yeah," she shrugged and turned away before her eyes watered up and were seen.
"Donna," the Doctor moved up to her, "He's not worth it," he set a hand on her shoulder.
"Yeah, I know, I know," she wiped a loose tear, "But, Minerva's worth it, right?" she turned to him.
"Millions," he breathed, "She's...she's just, wonderful in every aspect."
"And that's why you're falling in love," she wagged a finger, laughing when he saw him blush, "It's alright because she is too," she picked up the hot chocolate mug, "It won't be long until the three little words pop out," she grinned and pushed the mug to him.
"Thanks Donna," he rolled his eyes playfully and took the mug and walked away.
"I'm here to help!" the ginger called with a small laugh.

Minerva had her earphones inside her ears, connected to her mp3 and listened to her music. She sat against her headboard, on her bed, with her blankets to her waist. She'd gotten some nice sleep, but she was still a bit cold and she didn't want to cause any trouble for the Doctor or Donna and so decided to listen to her music in hopes of falling back asleep...though it somehow seemed to be hard as she'd been doing this for twenty minutes.
The door to her room opened just slightly, the Doctor poking his head to see how she was doing, "You're awake," he blinked and stepped inside, noticing she had her earphones plugged in, "Right, probably want to be alone, then," he walked for her.
But she beamed at his appearance and yanked her earphones off, putting her mp3 on her bedside table, "No, I want you to be with me," she reached out for him, "As much as I love my songs I love even more when my Martian is with me."
He laughed, "I brought some-"
"Hot chocolate!?" she tried lifting herself up to see the contents of the mug.
"Yeah," he walked to the side of her bed, handing her the mug, "Donna made it so it's edible."
She chuckled and took his hand, "I would've loved your milkshakes."
"But I wanted you to be warm and since I'm not allowed to use the stove without your supervision, I asked Donna to make it."
"I'll have to thank her then," she pulled him down to the bed, "Can you stay with me, please?" she asked seriously, "I'm cold."
"Anything my clever girl wants, she gets," he reminded and made himself comfortable, "So," he reached for her mp3, "What exactly were we listening to?"
"My favorite song," she sipped her mug.
"Ah yes, the little Spanish one. You know, I don't understand what is so special about it," he gave her a look.
"Is describes me before we got together."
"Care to elaborate?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Mm, alright, I'll tell you why," she made herself comfortable and leaned against the headboard again, "You came into my life and you showed me what it was to be truly happy and I just couldn't tell you how much you meant to me back then. You're always here for me when I cry, when I need someone...you're always here. You've done so much for me and in the past I was afraid I'd lose you and you'd never know how much you meant to me. That's why I love the song, because it's my story, my story in 3 minutes."
"Only here I don't ever plan on leaving you," the Doctor earnestly told her. Suddenly, he kicked off his shoes and scooted closer to her, his hand under her chin, "Never, never, never," he said before pressing his lips to her for a gentle kiss. Minerva was blushing red by the time they pulled apart, not even her small shiver managing to cool her down. The Doctor sadly looked at her and suddenly grinned, "I've got an idea," he declared, "Can you lean forwards, please?"
"Mhm," Minerva did as told and watched him crawl behind her, leaving her in-between his legs.
"There we go," he gently pulled her back to his chest, dropping a kiss on her hair; she definitely felt warmer now which was a good sign, "Now drink up, clever girl."
She took a sip from her mug, "Mmm, it has marshmallows."
"Donna's touch."
"I definitely feel much better now," she tilted her head up, "Do you mind staying with me tonight?"
"Of course not, I'll be here until you want me to leave."
"Oh, guess that's never," she casually shrugged, "I have so much on my mind I don't want to be alone. I'll crack if I do."
"No you won't," he assured her.
"Right, because you're here with me now. I can't break if I got my brilliant Martian with me, right?"
"Right," he firmly said.
"My doctor and even a psychologist, wow..." she paused to think, "...you know, if you wanted to charge, you'd make a fortune out of me and my problems."
"I do charge."
"Oh really?" she raised an eyebrow, "And what's it gonna cost me? Five hundred dollars? A thousand?"
"A thousand," he declared, nodding.
She laughed, "I'm gonna have to make a payment plan because I'm broke!"
"A thousand kisses should do the trick," he grinned.
"Oh, kisses," Minerva pretended to think about it as she drank from her mug again.
"Yes, I don't need money, I need kisses from a beautiful woman."
"Have you tried Marilyn Monroe? I'm sure she'd love plant a big one on you," she shrugged.
"Nah, I was setting my eyes on this brunette," he kissed her cheek, making her smile, "She has this beautiful eyes that I can stare into for eternity, she's insanely clever, mind you she's short," he kissed her neck.
"Oi!"
"And yet so big of confidence," he kissed her temple, "She's got really long hair I just love to kiss," he set a couple of kisses around her head, making her chuckle, "She always smells like vanilla for some reason," he turned her head to him, "Sound familiar?"
"Mm, maybe," she mumbled, entranced by his closeness and minty scent.
"And I've heard she's cold so I've gotta warm her up, starting with her lips," he lifted her chin and kissed her.
"Definitely warmer," she murmured into their kiss.
"I swear to you, Minerva, that nothing will happen to you," he rested his hand on her cheek, looking her in the eye, "I swear."
"I know you will, I trust you with my life, Martian," she took his hand from her face and kissed the back of it, not grasping what the Doctor was truly talking about. While he spoke about the crystal she thought it was just him by him and his over-protection, "For now, think you can keep me warm?"
He smiled and nodded, "Of course," he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her blanket over them, resting his chin over her head while she drank from her mug, silently cursing himself for this mighty secret of a crystal he was keeping from her.
But it was for her own good and if it did her good, he'd do it.

Congratulations on 1K! You are supremely talented, so you definitely deserve it. If I’m not too late, I’d love to get a match-up from you, but ofc no problem if you’ve got enough requests already.
SFW info:
I’m a 24 year old bi cis girl, and I like all three fandoms, so match me with whoever you want! 😽 I’m an Aries Sun, Pisces Moon (+Virgo Rising, if that helps)! I like really saturated cool colors: neon blue, emerald green, ultra violet, etc. One of my good qualities is my sense of humor - I’m quick with a clever comment or a funny observation, and obv I’m biased but people usually seem to enjoy my quips. I’ve also been told I seem very calm and confident at all times (even though I’m actually pretty high anxiety on the inside). I’m creative, have a great memory, and my favorite compliment I’ve ever received is that I have a really nice voice.
NSFW info:
My top kinks are exhibitionism, multiple partners (I think a foursome would be my limit tho), and dressing up, whether in lingerie, costumes, just anything different and special. I find it especially hot when my partner dresses up for me, but I like getting dolled up too. I’ve never dated someone I trust enough to make a sex tape together, but in theory I’d be very into it. I have a cute heart-shaped birthmark right above my cleavage - but also, not a lot of cleavage. Top notch ass and legs though, if I do say so myself. 😉
Hope that’s a good amount of info, and thank you very much for this fun event! Congratulations again! ❤️❤️🎉
Thank you so much for your compliments! I read this and right away I got the vibes for an AoT man for you: Porco Galliard 🧡
It was the neon colors you like that first made me think: she needs someone bold. And then you mentioned how quippy you are, and Porco is someone who needs a witty a woman.
Listen, I am so sorry if you're thinking he's not your guy, but I truly think Porco is perfect for you. And I say that with my whole Pock-Loving heart. A calm, confident, smart girl is what this man needs, desires, has to have. He's so attracted to confidence, and the fact that you have a nice voice is just the cherry on top of this ice cream. He loves banter, too, so the fact that you can go tit-for-tat with him will have him just begging for your attention.
And the kinks...you pulled these right out of my Porco headcanons istg. Exhibitionism? Yes. God yes. Once he has you he wants everyone and the whole world to know it. You're getting fucked in the club, in the car, against the window for everyone to see just how good he fucks you.
He would absolutely dress up for you. The man has no shame, whatever you want, you get it. And you putting on lingerie for him? It'll drive him absolutely wild. He's got feral energy, that's for sure, and when your gorgeous ass and legs are looking divine in something lacy and tempting, he's read to dive straight in. It's even worse if he knows you're wearing something sensual beneath your clothes, he'll be itching to hook his fingers into your lingerie so he can peel you out of it.
Believe it or not, despite how boisterous and loud and proud he is about how much he adores you, he's good at keeping secrets. Because he, too, has always wanted to make a sex tape. And despite the exhibitionist tendencies, he would keep it just between you, if that's what you desired. He would kill to be able to film what goes down in private between you two, would marvel over how pretty you look against him, on top of him, how good he looks inside you. He's got an ego so he would love, love, love to see just how sexy the two of you look together, naked and sweating and panting each other's names. Yeah, that's a dream come true for dear Pock. You're a dream come true for him, really.

Age is but a Number
Sebastian Stan x reader
No warnings other than a swear or 2 and the age gap thing
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
You began working for Marvel in about 2015. At that time you were 17 pushing 18. At 18 going on 19 Civil War was your first full film, but it worked because you were playing a character who was older than you actually were, but needed to look young. Your character was also Bucky's love interest. Well, sorta.. In the comics you were, but the movies had a slower build, more subtle. Regardless, the producers had you both hang out before filming to gain a sense of familiarity. He was cool and you both got along quite well. He liked how you didn't act as young as you were. You liked how funny and down to earth he was. A lovely friendship built as time went on.
But here you were, 5ish years later, dealing with press stuff for Avengers: Endgame. You were 22, managing college with being an actress, and trying to have a life with your friends still. You loved being a student and having this job, everyone was cool with you doing most of your filming and work during your breaks. Yet, it still could get overwhelming. Luckily, Sebastian and you had always remained close. He helped you manage everything and deal with the intense world of acting. As you got older, he noticed how well you handled everything. Yes, you still acted like a 22 year old girl at moments, it was normal. But most of the time you always seemed older and more mature despite being the youngest cast member. He respected you, and even grew to like you. The media caught on about how you both hung out more outside of set. Obviously, dating rumors and notes of the age gap spread out and around the world. Yet, neither of you stressed about it or let it get to you. Brushing it off, both of you went about life as usual. Neither of you talked about the relationship possibilities. You wouldn’t admit it out loud, but you liked seeing some fans point out details about how he acted in a flirty, or different manner around you. It added to your girly fantasy of you being with someone like Sebastian Stan. Things never really shifted between you guys until a Jimmy Fallon appearance with Mark Ruffalo.
Walking backstage with the two men you turned and looked at Sebastian. “Your ass nearly got us fired! Not in a single trailer, yet you almost blew a plot point. I know we don’t know if it’s true or not, but still! When we come back for the game, I am not taking blame if something goes to shit.”
Mark looked between you guys, “The fact that I held up better than you is sad dude. Thank God Y/N jumped in. But how is that the topic you are focusing on? Don’t look at me like that. Jimmy brought up you guys being a thing now that she isn't seeing Tom's friend anymore and I felt your hands stop messing with each other behind me on the couch! You froze! Just admit you like each other. We’ve seen it all but confirmed since the kiss that got cut in Infinity War.”
You both stopped and you looked to Mark, “We were messing with each other. So what? Then he brought us up so we focused on him. And that kiss was only a casual peck for the scene. Shut up man, I’m gonna wait in the green room for the game. I hope it’s that film noir truth or lie game! I wanna see what they dug up on me haha!"
You walked off and Sebastian kept his eyes on you until you turned the corner. “She didn’t deny it did she? That she likes me?”
“You’ve got to be kidding me.. You’re over 30! Just grow a pair and talk to her.”
He hesitated, “She’s 15 years younger than me... I've known her since she graduated high school."
“What’s your point? Blake Lively is 11 years younger than Ryan. Jay-Z is 12 years older than Beyonce. George Clooney and his wife are 16 years apart. No one cares if you both like each other. Hell, Nick Jonas just married a woman 11 years older than him.” Mark looked at him like he was an idiot. “You like the girl, we all do. Go for it! She wouldn’t say no.”
“Really??” Mark simply nodded. Next thing he knew, he was heading to your green room.
He knocked and heard you say come in. You were sitting comfortably on the couch, scrolling on your phone and munching on snacks left by Jimmy and the crew. You looked up and said hey to him. He didn’t speak back and you looked up at him again. “What’s up man? You look like you saw someone get stabbed by the main curtain. "
He laughed a little and made eye contact with you. “Nah, I feel just a nervous though.”
You put your phone down, sat up, and looked up at him. “You were fine out there. What’s going on?”
“We get along really well right? And we have a lot of fun hanging out and talking right?”
“Yeah of course. What are you getting at here Seb? You’re being more random than usual.” You smiled at him in a questioning manner and invited him to sit next to you.
“Wow this is harder than it seemed in my head. I was just wondering if you would want to maybe, I don’t know...” He doesn’t really look at you, just the floor and rubs his hands on his pants. Suddenly, it seems to click for you.
“Wait. Are- are you asking me out?” You smile as you see him nod, still not really looking at you. “Hell yes I’ll go out with you. Since when are you so nervous to ask a girl out? You told me how you asked Jennifer Morrison out easily after meeting her.”
“Yeah well she wasn’t my friend first, and she isn’t 15 years younger than me.”
“Oh. That isn’t an issue is it? I mean well clearly not, you just asked me out. Hell Ellen and her wife are like 15 apart too." A knock on your door interrupted you. A guy with a headset on came in and told you to go to the main stage area for the game. You nodded and said you would both be out soon. You turned back to Sebastian and put your hand on his knee. “I would love to go out with you. Let’s just skip the awkward actual going out parts for the first date. Let’s do something slightly more serious than when we just hang. Sound good?”
“Yeah, damn you’re easier at this than me. But that sounds good.” He took note of how you said first date. The hope of more lingered. He stood up and held his hand out to help you up. Grabbing his hand he pulled you up and hugged his arm around your waist. Then the two of you met Mark and Jimmy and played Drinko much to your excitement!
SKIP TO THE DATE
You looked at your phone and remembered that Sebastian told you to just come in when you made it to his place. He insisted you come over and he could cook you dinner. Between all the press things, a dinner was a great choice. Neither of you had a home-cooked meal in forever. Plus, he wanted to show off. So walking in, you clutched the bottle of wine and tried to remain calm. 
“Sebastian?” You called out your heels clicked as you looked around. You could faintly smell something being made. Considering you saw no kitchen, you walked upstairs. The sight before you was adorable. He was dancing around to some music while stirring something around in a pan. He turned and saw you smiling as you watched him, but he also stopped dancing. “No don’t stop on my account.”
“Ha ha how clever. Sorry I didn’t hear you come in.” He took the bottle you brought and took your coat off for you. You thanked him and he laughed at the bottle. “Barefoot? Really?”
“Hey it isn’t pink is it? I had to pay some tuition bills yesterday, less funds than I anticipated. Figured this was better than nothing. Plus, my mom told me it’s rude to come to someone’s house for dinner empty handed.”
“Aren’t you such a lady. But I’m just messing with you, you brought it, so even then pink would have been fine. I’m just finishing this up, so you’re right on time. As long as I never drink peppermint schnapps again I’ll be fine. Mixing that with hot sauce, clam juice, and grape soda was horrible.” 
Looking at the kitchen area, you smiled. “Ha yeah I lucked out. Sunny D, whipped cream vodka, grape soda, and mountain dew? Hell I’m pretty sure I had that last semester at a Halloween party. But forget the gross stuff. Whatcha cooking? Creamy garlic shrimp, one of my favorites. How did you know?”
“I know you.” He said it so surely. And the bastard had the nerve to wink. Make you flustered. Well, two could play at this game.
You walked to get a couple glasses for the wine, making sure you sway your hips as you went past him. From your side eye you saw him check you out. “Like what you see old man?”
He didn’t even try to hide it. “I do. You look good Y/N, you always do.” As you went back to sit down and pour some wine for you both, he sat a nice plate of food in front of you. He went next to you and told you to dig in.
Taking the first bite let out a small, appreciative moan. “Holy shit. This is fantastic! I’m serious. Thank you for this. I’ve never actually had a guy cook for me, so really, thanks.”
“No need to thank me. Just keep going out with me.” His smile was so sweet. You just simply said of course.
"Can't say no to that." You smirked at him to the side of you as you both ate.
Once dinner was finished and cleaned up by the both of you he suggested you move to the living room balcony.
"Wait, you said a specific balcony. Do you have more than one?" He laughed as you both walked out. Wine glasses full with his better stuff after finishing the Barefoot you brought.
He stood next to you enjoying the view. "Yes there is another connected to the main bedroom."
"Wow. And I thought my campus apartment was fancy. This sure beats dorm furniture and faulty heating."
He chuckled, looking at you as you looked out at the city. "Why do you live on campus? I mean, you can afford a nicer place to finish school."
"Yeah but I cover rent for my roommates who truly depend on me for campus living so they can keep their scholarships. Going off campus would screw them over. Plus, I have too much money anyway. They wouldn't let me help with their tuition, so rent'll do." As you spoke you continue sipping the wine. It was enchanting and sparkling to see the lights of the city.
"How do you do it?"
"Do what?" You pondered as to what he could mean.
He turned fully to you and you did the same. He looked at you earnestly. "Stay normal when being a Marvel star? You balance getting a college degree and doing press tours world wide. I only do this and sometimes cannot stand it."
Shrugging you spoke, "Eh it isn't always easy. But managers and people working out schedules around my schooling have really helped. Plus, my folks, friends, and you guys have really helped. Especially you." You brought the glass to your face to hide a blush forming.
Sebastian pulled you by the waste, closer to him. You looked up and smiled at him. "Hey I was forced to be with you when we were younger. Only fitting I actually shaped you properly for the biz and so I wouldn't hate you." Ah that charm you fell so easily for. "I'm kidding. I like you for soo many reasons. I'll tell you them on the second date."
You put your wine glass down. "Good. I will love to hear those then. Because right now I don't wanna talk that much."
He laughed lightly. "Are you trying to make out with me Y/N? Ah darling, here I thought you were mature!" His hold around you tightened as you smiled.
You sighed as you ran a hand over his really toned pec. "Yeah.. mature. Not blind!" Your heart fluttered at the way he looked at you. Luckily, no more words were exchanged on the balcony til a while later when the sun finished setting.

Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, annnnnnnd Luke Skywalker
Probs gonna be a long post since I Cannot Shut Up, so here we go!
OBI WAN (see look I told you this was gonna be long)
How I feel about them:  HELLO HI YES I LOVE HIM A NORMAL AMOUNT.  Okay okay, besides the fact that he is Very Nice To Look At (c’mon, I must, I have EYES), I genuinely love Obi Wan because he wants to be a good person so, so badly, and he’s always ALWAYS trying to be better because he doesn’t believe he already is a good person.  His life is a literal living hellhole and he doesn’t crumple under all of that tragedy like literally everyone else does, he takes a moment, puts a cheeky smile back on his face, and gets back up and keeps going.  He can be a hypocrite, he tends to look over things he really shouldn’t or gets the wrong idea about things and just shuts off what he doesn’t want to deal with, he’s overconfident and a little snobby and petty and a bit of an asshole, and he makes mistakes because he is human, and I love him for all of those flaws because if he was perfect, I wouldn’t like him as much.  He’s funny and reckless and would literally die before letting anything he cared about get hurt, he wants to do everything at once so he can help everyone and he literally gives all of himself to a cause because he cares and y’all, he is the most distinguished disaster I have ever come across and he deserves peace and rest and loved ones who don’t die in his arms or betray him and he’s one of the most brilliant fighters I have ever seen and he just draws you in.  You can’t help but want to watch him.
Romantic ships:  I will love him and Anakin together past my dying breaths; they’re soulmates.  I can also enjoy seeing him with Quinlan or Ventress, and of course Satine.
Non-Romantic OTPs:  Anakin again, I just love them and will take them any way I can get.  Also Cody, Cody is great.  And Ahsoka-- especially post-Order 66 (c’mon Kenobi movie don’t let me down now).  And Padmé!  Ugh, I’m mad TCW refused to let us see the Obi/Pads friendship the movies promised us they had.
Unpopular Opinion:  Two big ones.  First, that Anakin is the most important person in his life.  I can’t see it any other way, and I know other people would disagree.  Second, that he’s a good person and ALSO kinda a jerk.  He’s one of the most popular figures in this fandom with the most mercurial fanbase.  I’d say a good 85% adore him, but then the 15% who don’t hate him with a burning passion.  Seriously, it’s like to these people Palpatine was a better Master to Anakin than he was, jeez-- I’m digressing.  Anyway, it’s like in retaliation, the other 85% have put him up on a pedestal as someone who’s done no wrong whatsoever.  And here I am in the middle like, I love him to hell and back and always will, he’s legit one of my favorite characters, but he isn’t perfect.  Like I said, it’s hard for me to like perfect characters with no flaws.  So yea, I guess that’s it.
Something I wish would happen/had happened with them in canon:  MORE OBIKIN MOMENTS BECAUSE I’M NEEDY.  Ok but in reality, there’s a couple things, most I’m discovering have to do with female characters.  I wish he hadn’t faked his death when Ahsoka was there.  I get why Anakin had to be there to witness it, otherwise he wouldn’t believe it, but Obes, my dude, there was no reason why you had to (further) traumatize a sixteen year old over this.  She really did not need to have you die in her arms, you of all people know how shitty that feels.  I also want to know why he didn’t speak up (or if he did and we didn’t see it) at Ahsoka’s trial.  Was he being punished for Mandalore?  Going off of that, I wish we actually got to see him mourn Satine for more than 0.5 seconds of him looking sad after she died and then it literally never being brought up again (I’m looking at you here, Season 7, give me SOMETHING).  I’d also like to see him having some sort of meaningful interaction with Leia that would make her naming her only child after him make more sense (I actually have a really good penpals style idea about this, but I don’t know if I’d be able to write it before the Kenobi show comes out and josses it).  Also, I heard that the original Twin Suns episode of Rebels was supposed to have Kanan going to Tatooine with Ezra, and I really would like to see a Kanan/Obi Wan interaction, it just sounds like so much potential for angsty goodness!!! ;_;
AHSOKA
How I feel about them: My brave, brave girl!  She was what got me into the prequels in general, if you can believe it (wow, my star wars watching order is just WEIRD), I had to know more about her after seeing literally one glimpse of her in Rebels and then saw the Tumblr fandom explode.  She’s enduring and snarky and clever and a total badass and I adore how we got to see her grow from a spunky little kid into a shining, confident young woman who I’d follow anywhere.  Anyway, I love her and god did she deserve so much BETTER FROM EVERYTHING.  HER LIFE SUCKED TOO AND SHE TOLD LIFE TO FUCK OFF AND KEPT GOING.
Romantic ships:  I adore her and Kaeden Larte from the Ahsoka novel and you can pry my headcanon that they’re still together up to the Sequel trilogy out of my cold dead hands.  Also Barriss Offee (WHY DO ALL MY STAR WARS SHIPS HAVE A PATTERN?  CAN WE NOT BE BETRAYING EACH OTHER FOR FIVE SECONDS PLEASE).  Also Riyo Chuchi, that was really cute!!!
Non-Romantic OTP’s:  Snips n’ Skyguy all the way!!!!  But also argh, I adore Ahsoka and Rex and everything about them and Season 7 is going to KILL ME.  I also love seeing Ahsoka and Padmé interact, and I really do like the little bits we see of her and Obi Wan and I want MORE of them >:(
Unpopular Opinion:  This is gonna sound weird since I just said that seeing Ahsoka in Rebels was what got me into TCW and the prequels, but I really didn’t like her characterization in Rebels all that much after I went back and saw her in TCW.  I know she grew up and was traumatized and matured, but Rebels!Ahsoka just seemed a bit too severe, a bit too peaceful (she’s always been a firebrand), a bit too quiet.  Yea she grew, but I feel like the environment she grew up in wouldn’t foster the personality change she got in Rebels.  She was a bit of a hot mess in TCW, and the Ahsoka novel kinda showed more of that personality in an older version of her and felt more right than what we got in Rebels.  
Something I wish would happen/had happened with them in canon: A GROUP HUG WITH ANAKIN AND OBI WAN IN SEASON 7, PREFERABLY HER PICKING THEM BOTH UP LEGEND OF KORRA STYLE.  Ok but really there’s a LOT of things.  First, that she never liked Lux Bonteri.  I’m sorry, I’m petty.  He just reminds me way too much of my IRL friend’s stupidass boyfriend who I Do Not Like and I never got what Ahsoka actually saw in him ;p  Second is that I did not like how Ezra saved her in Rebels.  It’s a grumpy point for me because I certainly like how she managed to outlive the entire Order that kicked her out, it’s poetic, and if they did have Vader kill her I’d still be grumpy because it would be just another Prequel era woman who got killed off because she wasn’t in the OT while the males all find some way to be alive despite not being in the OT.  HOWEVER, you will never convince me that Kanan wasn’t the one who deserved that time-travel fixit.  Kanan had a family-- a CHILD, who he left behind.  Kanan had a future, and a story point that was just left unfinished and unsatisfying for me and other fans, if what I’ve heard was right.  As much as it would annoy me, Ahsoka dying facing Vader makes sense from a narrative point because it would follow the path that Vader destroys everyone he ever loved until he meets Luke.  Kanan’s death felt sudden and forced, and the fact that they had the audacity to use his death to be like “oh no Kanan had to die and become a Spirit Wolf solely to tell Ezra he needed to bring AHSOKA back”, come on.  Rebels didn’t establish Ahsoka and Kanan having any sort of meaningful relationship, it makes no sense for that to be his final wish, so it just feels a LOT like favoritism on Filoni’s part.  So yea, I don’t know what I wanted to save Ahsoka because I did want her alive, but it definitely shouldn’t have been at the expense of Kanan.  Meh.  Ok, but on a happier note, I really wanna see Anakin’s ghost on Endor reuniting with her again cuz that would be sweet and make me cry.  I also wanna see Ahsoka interacting with Obi Wan on Tatooine in the new show because please it would be perfect, she’s already met Leia, now she can meet Luke!  Also, if we could actually see her find Ezra, that would be very nice, thank you.
LUKE
How I feel about this character: Luke Skywalker is one of the bravest, most kindest men in the galaxy.  He’s not the stereotypical macho hero, he’s goofy and he whines and sulks and he makes dumb jokes and he rushes right into things, but he’s determined as all hell and once he loves you, he’s never letting go.  He wants to fix everything!  He has so many ideas!  He’s so bright and you can’t help but fall in love with his smile and his sparkling eyes and you want all his dreams and plans (because he has so, so many of them) to come true, and he will make them come true, because he is stubborn like both of his parents before him.  He worked through the discovery of his beloved father being a monster, and not only did he love him despite that, he did the unthinkable and BROUGHT HIM BACK.  LUKE BROUGHT ANAKIN HOME BECAUSE HE LOVED AND BELIEVED IN HIM AND HE WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO DO IT.  I just wish he had gotten the happy ending his parents never did (and that he had had for 40 years before it was ripped away whoops I got salt on this haha).
Romantic ships: Complicated.  I think he would be really cute with Ezra if they ever actually met; their personalities would mesh nicely and I think they’d make a great team!  However, I don’t really ship him with anyone else, and me the ace again is projecting major aro/ace vibes onto him because I can *blows raspberry*
Non-Romantic OTP:  BROT3 WITH HAN AND LEIA!!!!  FOREVER AND ALWAYS!!!!!!!!  Y’all but they literally saved the galaxy together, and Luke and Leia love each other so much they knew there was a connection from the very beginning and always supported each other and the BEST space siblings, argh that forehead kiss was my favorite part of The Last Jedi I cry but I also love the chaotic dumbass duo that is Han and Luke and how they’d legit die for each other and have each others’ backs.  And, Luke and R2 will always always make my heart melt because these guys are the best team!  And Chewie, cannot forget Chewie, Chewie loves his stupid blonde little brother.  Ya know what, I’ll also add in Rey for the pure potentiality of what could have been.
Unpopular Opinion:  Well it’s certainly not unpopular to anyone I talk to, but Lucasfilms disagrees with me, so I’m gonna put forth that I don’t care WHAT the explanation is, I could never ever ever see Luke even thinking about murdering his nephew in his sleep, not just a “slip up”, not “only for a second”, no.  Yes, people can change in thirty years, and I’ve begrudgingly accepted a lot of his actions in TLJ, but not that one.  Luke would NEVER.  A more unpopular one I have would be that he’s not as much of a “innocent cinnamon roll” as fandom makes him out to be.  We see from the beginning of Episode 4 that Luke has the Skywalker temper and he’s a bit on the rude side, even though to me that seems a little more like issues with a filter that he works on developing throughout the OT.  But yeah, people tend to declaw him a bit and forget this is the same sarcastic, snarky guy that can and will happily kick the ass of basically anyone who he can’t talk his way out of trouble with (in this, he is very much Obi Wan’s apprentice).
Something I wish would happen/had happened with them in canon:  LET HIM APPEAR TO REY WITH ANAKIN’S FORCE GHOST 2K19!!!  PLEASE JJ I BEG YOU YOU LITERALLY NAMED THE MOVIE AFTER THEM.  Also, please just let him take an active role in Episode 9.  I understand it’s about the new protagonists, but please do not include the Sequel Trilogy in the “Skywalker Saga” if you’re just gonna sideline him the entire time.  If he couldn’t have his original happy ending, please let him be happy at the end of all of this.

(Your Kisses) Taste like Come what May
Excerpt:
“I promise you will love her.  She’s funny, smart, absolutely gorgeous–Just one date is all I am asking.”
“What has gotten into you all of a sudden.  Is this girl on the run from ICE or something?”
“Armie asked me to marry him.”
Ben felt his world collapsing.  His mild amusement long forgotten under the weight of a thousand unspoken words, missed opportunities, and imagined confessions.
Rose’s voice seemed to come from far away.  "Ben?  Aren’t you going to say anything?“
Ben swallowed, forced his throat to produce sounds other than screaming, or worse, a sob.  Oddly, when his mouth felt capable of speech, it was a faint rasp, no hint of the tempest which roiled within.  "Congratulations.  You deserve to be happy.”
o-o-o-o-o-o
Summary:
Ben, Rose and Hux grew up together.  Ben loves Rose, but Rose and Hux are together.  After Rose and Hux become engaged, Rose tries to set Ben up with her friend Rey.  He reluctantly agrees to go on a date.
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Two days later Ben woke to the sound of his phone vibrating against his face.
Disoriented, Ben groped sightlessly for the irritating device, intending to shut off what he presumed was an alarm, and was thus alarmed when an all too chipper voice blared into his ear "Ben!"
"Hello?"  His mouth tasted like cotton, scratch that, he still smelled something floral and citrus and the spicy scent of Rey's arousal.  His dick, most obligingly, shuddered happily at the reminder.
"I'm outside your house.  We're going shopping loser."  The chipper voice continued, sounding more like Rose the longer he listened to it.
"Aren't you a little too Generation X for Mean Girls?" He mumbled into the receiver, scrubbing his face with the hand generating the intoxicating Rey scents, as he reluctantly accepted his wakefulness.
"Very funny.  We are both Millennials I'll have you know.  And Mean Girls is a classic written for our generation."
"Why are you harassing me this early in the morning?"
"It's hardly the morning, Ben.  It's 12:45pm on a Saturday.  You promised me we'd go dress shopping. It's your duty as my Man of Honor."
Ben stifled a groan, wondering why he would ever agree to such torture, although the answer, as always, was because it's Rose.  "I don't know why you want to go with me.  Shouldn't you be dress shopping with Paige?"
"C'mon, Ben, it'll be fun.  Paige will be providing approval via whatsapp.  I'm considering a white pantsuit, so you could provide valuable input.  I'll even throw in a free coffee.  We're talking Starbucks prices here.  Maybe even Blue Bottle if I'm feeling generous.  Then you can tell me all about your date with Rey."
Rose's words had a sobering effect on Ben, who suddenly found himself very awake.  A quick inspection, however, revealed a sleeping, naked Rey beside him, looking delightfully disheveled and marked with blossoming purple.  His dick was very approving.  "Although that does sound very tempting, I'm afraid I'm not home."
He could feel Rose's eyes roll over the receiver.  "I thought you just woke up.  Where are you?"
There was a pause, which had Ben's stomach clenching anxiously for the inevitable explosion.
"Omg Ben.  You're with Rey, aren't you."  Her voice was deceptively calm.  "You are still with Rey, a whole 38 hours after your date."
"Yes..?"
"BEN!"  The delighted squeal whited out the sound for a moment, and Ben winced, glancing at the still oblivious Rey, incredulous that she remained unaffected.
Lowering his own voice in a futile gesture to encourage the same in Rose, Ben hissed "Don't make a big deal out of this.  You're making a big deal out of this, aren't you."
"Ben!  My sweet cinnamon roll.  You finally lost your V-card."
Ben counted to ten, then gritted in a very calm voice, "You know very well that I am not, and was not, a virgin two days ago."
In a tone completely ignoring his previous statement, Rose continued with condescending magnanimity, "Ben, I've changed my mind.  You are excused from today's excursion.  But we are meeting tomorrow for lunch or dinner, depending on how soon you exit the Den of Sex.  And I am expecting details!"
Although he would rather send his mom a dick pic (scratch that, that sounded abhorrent), Ben thought an expeditious end to the conversation was in order.  "I'll message you tonight, okay?  Hanging up now."
"Bye Benny!"
"It's too early for phone calls."  The muffled sound came from his left, where Rey's face was pressed into the pillow.
Contrite, Ben pressed a kiss to her exposed shoulder.  "I'm sorry, Rose called and I was just the right amount of stupid sleepy to answer it.  Or is it sleepy stupid?  Apparently it hasn't worn off yet...Although, according to Rose it's technically the afternoon."
At that, the tousled, chestnut locks shot upward.  "Shit, seriously?  I really need to get to the lab today or Amilyn will have my ass for skipping again."
"Shame, I was hoping to have it."
Rey, despite her worries, flashed him a saucy smile for that remark.  "Maybe next time tiger."
However, in spite of Rey's words, her attention soon became fixated on his very appreciative morning wood, jutting against his belly.  "For now," she said in a murmur, cupping his balls in one hand as the other glided up his length.
A soft groan left his lips as Rey worked him, her slim fingers dwarfed by his cock as they barely made it around the girth.  "Fuck, Rey."
As one hand continued to pump him, Ben felt Rey's warm mouth press against his, and he opened eagerly to her probing tongue.  Just as he began to lose himself to the double assault on his senses, Rey detached from his mouth to his weak protest.
Ben saw a flash of impish grin, before Rey was squiggling down the bed, generously pressing wet kisses on his chest and abdomen, skirting the swollen head of cock to his dismay, in favor of the thatch of dark hair at the base of him.   Rey gave his dick a long lick on the underside that had him bucking forward in search of more, at the moment, preferably in the form of her hot mouth.
"Such a pretty dick," she cooed, before finally wrapping her lips about the red, leaking head.  Her clever tongue occupied itself with swirling around the head and sucking hard, as if determined to wring him of every last drop of precum.  Ben groaned at the onslaught, barely containing the desire to pull her further down his cock until she was choking on him.  Fortunately, Rey divined his desires, bobbing downward to take more of his length into her mouth so that his cock was nudging the back of her throat.
Caught in the wet heat of her, Ben knew it would not be long before he came.  Would she move off him to let him jerk off on her tits, or finish in her mouth?  Either way had him twitching in anticipation, and Ben wondered urgently at the polite way to inform her of such.  Belatedly remembering his voice remained functioning, he gasped her name, "Rey, Rey.  I'm gonna cum--"
Pleasure seized him from the base of his balls up to his throbbing dick and Ben had his answer.  Instead of pulling off, Rey had chosen to suck hard, his cock still lodged deep in her throat, and he had no choice but to cum in place, great spurts shooting down her throat.  Rey swallowed him down gamely, but eventually it was too much for her, pulling away with an obscene pop as cum continued to dribble on her lips.  "Hmm," Rey murmured, licking the tip of him, hazel eyes stinging with tears.
Ben was caught between embarrassment and arousal at the sight.  This woman was going to be the death of him, wasn't she?
Mesmerized by her sinful gaze, Ben closed the space between them to capture her swollen lips in his, gathering her lithe form to his as he chased the bitter taste of his cum on her tongue.  Rey moaned against his mouth, the rubbing of her stiffened nipples against his chest a pleasant distraction, and her mound was a scorching, dripping mess against his thigh.  Ben bent down to suck a pert nipple into his mouth, while sight unseen brought a finger to part her folds and circle her clit, which had her crying out his name.  The pulsing, wet walls of her around his finger had his cock twitching in delight, but Ben knew better than to push his luck.
"So good, Ben," Rey was whispering, voice hoarse from taking him, he realized with a twinge of shame and pride.  "God I want you inside me.  But I really, really do have to go."  Ben smirked at her words, and decided to supplement the efforts of his fingers by bringing his lips around her clit.  A few swirls around her clit and Rey's protests were long forgotten in favor of gripping his hair in an unnecessary effort to keep him in place as she shamelessly moaned her pleasure.   Ben kept two fingers curling into her wet heat as he sucked her clit, and felt Rey fall apart.  Spicy essence gushed against his mouth and drenched his fingers, encompassing his senses with her heady scent and taste.  He hastily removed his fingers in favor of licking into her with languid strokes, pleased by the adorable mewling sounds Rey made as she came down from her high.
At last Rey pulled away to fall back on the bed, delightfully flushed from her rosy nipples to her pink lips, as she gave him a grinning once over.  Obviously the erection his dick, oblivious to schedules, was sporting had not escaped her notice.  "God Ben you are the worst kind of temptation," she bemoaned with a comical groan.  "You and your pretty dick."
How did she manage to make such crude statements so utterly charming?  "Does that mean you'll play hooky again?"
"Ben..."
"Surely another hour won't make a difference.  You need to take a shower anyway."  Although the notion of Rey going to work smelling of him was appealing in its own way, he supposed it was a cruel and unusual punishment for her labmates.  
Rey was eyeing him skeptically.  "Just a shower.  No sex."
"Whatever you say, sweetheart."
o-o-o-o-o-o
Approximately an hour and half later Ben was pulling into the attached garage of his townhouse, his mind still fully occupied with the memory of sinking into Rey's wet heat, the spray of the shower head striking his shoulders doing little to mask the echoing sound of their cries of pleasure and the pounding of his cock into her pussy.
Entering the cool air of his townhouse after a two days absence, however, did much to dispel the incessant thoughts of Rey, like shaking off the effects of opium when returning to familiar sights and smells.  His townhouse had a spare aesthetic, dark gray blue walls and midcentury furniture, an original John Singer Sargent water color that had belonged to his grandmother rubbing shoulders with an abstract silk painting Rose had gifted him after taking a fine art elective in university.
Given the uncluttered space reflected Ben's preferences for style over sentiment, one could be forgiven for assuming the house to be little more than a place to rest and eat between working days.  In actuality, the townhouse had once belonged to his grandparents, and Ben had many fond memories of summers spent cooking with his grandmother in the charming, spacious kitchen and the gentle rumble of his grandfather's voice as he read him stories in the evening.  Upon inheriting the home, Ben had remodeled the outdated kitchen and updated the faded flower print wallpaper to suit his tastes, but much of the furniture, including the imposing, mahogany work desk that had been his grandfather's, and his grandmother's copper bottomed cooking ware, Ben kept.  If Ben spent more time in the office than was healthy, if he could not recall the last time he had made pasta from scratch using the antique pasta press or spent a lazy afternoon reading on the couch, that did not mean he had a problem.
In a spurt of absolutely spontaneous inspiration, Ben made himself an espresso from his spotless coffee maker and sat himself on his worn leather couch to pull up his laptop.  Kaydel had recently implored upon him the benefits of Freshdirect, and set up an account with his information already imputed.  The next hour passed in agony as he painstakingly navigated the interface for ingredients for making pasta, with long gaps spent wondering what kind of cheese or mushrooms Rey would prefer, whether she would like a green tea tiramisu or whether a classic chocolate cake was more her preference.
It was only after a ten minute phone call with Kaydel to figure out how to complete his order that it occurred to him he was planning a second date with Rey.  Not merely a date, he wanted to invite her to his home.
There was a sonorous drumming as if from far away.  His hands felt dry, or was it clammy?  A heavy respiration drowned out the Saturday neighborhood sounds.  The dove gray walls were turning at nauseating angles--no, he was spinning, his head was hitting the worn leather.  The realization, that this was him, this was happening, hit him like a ton of bricks.  A panic attack.
Ben hadn't had one in over three years, not since before leaving Snoke and Palpatine, and joining his mother's firm after taking a needed two months off.
He forced himself to take slow, deep breaths, and focus on something pleasant--his grandmother's almond and pear pie, working the dough with chubby fingers, his grandmother's wistful smile.
Gradually he felt his heartbeat acquire a normal cadence.
Briefly he wondered whether to call his mother.  Or Kaydel.  Or Rose.  Then dismissed the thought.  Any one of those women would ask him if he was still seeing his therapist, whether he wanted to discuss what triggered the attack.  Leia would scold him and demand that he bring Rey to Sunday dinner immediately.  Kaydel would rat him out to his mother and sign him up for a spiritual detox yoga class or some shit, and Rose--
Fuck.  Rose would know.
God, what was he doing?  Why, was he doing?
Even words failed him.
And Rey, Rey with her dimpled smiles and rippling laugh and way of seeing through him, had managed to cut him to the quick.
He needed air.  He needed distraction.
A quick swipe of his phone (okay, maybe not that quick, but it was a perfectly moderate speed for an adult man), had him dialing a familiar number.
"Hey man, do you think you could get away tonight?  Without Rose."

{Story} “Perfect.”
The entire weekend, I’ve had the desire to write a “morning after” piece, because I don’t like one-night stands that don’t turn into something.
Enjoy a little fluff. ♥
Tumblr media
Everything had to be perfect.
It was a thought that circled James Sunderland like a stinging bee, pricking at him every time he tried to relax and let himself think everything was at least okay, even if it wasn’t perfect--but perfect was what she deserved.
He couldn’t believe she’d stayed, that when he’d woken up that morning Monica was still here, still asleep snuggled against his bare chest. She looked like an angel while she slept, soft hair kissed by morning light, her tanned skin so untouched by life’s hardships he couldn’t believe someone like her existed at all. He thought himself too old for someone so young and full of life but she’d come home with him anyway, had let him hold her hand the entire drive back to his place and when they’d come down from their passionate highs (highs that he would never, ever forget) she’d let him hold her. James was an admitted cuddler, a gentleman who still opened car doors and pulled out chairs even when it was possibly inconvenient but even though Monica was so gorgeous he’d figure she liked bad boys, tough guys, she still let him in. She still gave him a chance.
It was a chance he wasn’t willing to screw up. Marriage hadn’t exactly worked out the first time around for this Nice Guy--because he was sweet in the streets but a little more than adventurous in the sheets and that combination was a surprise to some. Monica had seemed to enjoy it, the way he worshipped every inch of her while still whispering sweet nothings against her calves, the arches of her delicate feet, the soft round of her belly--feminine to her very center, and he had melted in her hands. A young woman like that deserved to get whatever she wanted and James was older but he wasn’t some old fool; if she wanted him then he’d count his lucky stars until the cows came home but if she didn’t, if he couldn’t match the pace she deserved, he’d go down swinging just for a chance to hold her hand again. That was why he was up hours before he usually was, the scent of his kitchen sweetened by crackling bacon, sizzling eggs, and a sweet, peculating pot of coffee. Did people still make breakfast in bed for others? Was that...James paled. Was this not the hip thing to do?! He had no idea, too far out of the loop even with social media permeating every square inch of everyone’s lives. He knew “hook-up culture” was the norm, he just wasn’t that into the idea. Call the man old-fashioned if you wanted, but he’d still given Monica his jacket last night on the walk from the restaurant to his car because her arms were bare and it was September, now, after all.
James paused, swiping a large hand against his forehead. He left his hand there, because he wasn’t hot and hadn’t been wiping off sweat--he was nervous, and the gesture forced him to take a few deep breaths. Shirtless, clad only in his pajama bottoms (hastily grabbed from a bottom drawer because there was no way he wasn’t sleeping skin to skin with his literal newfound angel) James’s head full of soft blond hair fell almost boyishly around the tops of his ears, tickling the fingertips nervous against his forehead. He glanced down at himself; well he wasn’t exactly an athlete, he didn’t have a six pack. He patted his middle; he wasn’t round at all, but there was no definition, either. Soft. Refined. His midsection was tucked in, swathed in pale porcelain with a few knicks and wounds left over from a time spent in some semblance of hell. Would she...would that be all right? Was this enough for a woman who looked like she did? Acted as she did? God, she was so funny! James found himself smiling, his hand moving from his forehead to his middle as he ducked his head. She’d had him in stitches all evening, earnestly laughing at her witty observations or the way her sharp little tongue cut down anyone who happened to walk past looking ridiculous--he’d actually covered his mouth a few times, having to stifle his laughter and that had never happened to him before. James was as he looked; quiet, polite, charming if you liked men who used cloth napkins or always said “Bless you,” to every stranger who sneezed on the subway train. He, the token nice guy, had fallen for a girl so far out of his league he might as well have grabbed a star out of the night sky.
James brought his hands to rest on the sink, staring out his kitchen window, green eyes stormy. Did he feel guilty? Maybe a little. When they’d finished for the night, coming down from their sixth shared orgasm, he knew he was hanging onto her a little too tightly. She may have wanted to leave, that may have been the norm for a one night stand--they’d had a nice date (for him, the best he’s ever had) and she’d been sweet to give him a chance to please her (and he hoped like hell he had) but she didn’t owe him staying the night...but selfishly, he didn’t want her to leave. If she hadn’t settled in, snuggled against his chest, if she’d tried to leave he would have asked her to stay. James let out a soft, slightly sardonic chuckle. Truth of the matter was, he would have begged her to stay if it came down to it, and he knew it didn’t have anything to do with loneliness and everything to do with who she was. Clever, hilarious, sexy sweetheart of a girl and he didn’t know how a bad guy would handle this. Probably march up the stairs and demand she stay? Truly, James didn’t know. He wasn’t that guy. He was the Nice Guy, the one who finished last.
Turning from the sink, James picked up the finished pot of coffee, pouring it into a heart-shaped mug. It steamed prettily beside a matching plate of lovingly prepared food, all of it looking as appetizing as James could.
Everything had to be perfect.
Picking up the tray, James padded from the kitchen, his heart a nervous drum in his chest. What would finishing last mean, when it came to Monica? Would she wake up, dress, leave, and he’d never see her again? That thought soured, rusted like an anchor as it dropped to the pit of his stomach. He hated that thought. When do Nice Guys get to finish first? By doing what he was doing, James could only hope.
Pushing open his bedroom door with his foot, James felt his face relax into a smile the second he laid eyes on Monica, still snuggled up, asleep in his bed. She was so petite the soft down of his comforter nearly swallowed her and he found himself committing the image to memory, wanting to always remember these first few hours together--it was important to a Nice Guy. Hopefully, her Nice Guy.
Setting the tray on his bedside table, James dropped to his haunches, gently smoothing his fingers through the silk strands of Monica’s hair before moving to cup her cheek, his lips finding her forehead because he couldn’t help himself.
“Good morning, sweetheart,” James’s deep voice was as soft as his heart for her and when Monica opened her eyes, for the millionth time, he absolutely melted. His smile deepened, and he could barely take his eyes off her to gesture to the tray. “I...made you breakfast.”
Monica sat up, looking adorably sleepy, and when she saw the heart-shaped breakfast items a pretty flush overtook her.
James about came apart.
“T-Thank you,” she all but whispered, voice husky from sleep--but what was James’s undoing, what broke him into a million pieces, was when she leaned over to give him a kiss all on her own.
Yes. Everything was perfect.

Oh hey, long time no replies. And these are the first ones of this year. I have a hard time replying now. It’s not like I don’t have time - I’m doing okay, actually. I mean, I wouldn’t complain if there was less homework, but still. Free time exists. It’s just that I can’t bring myself to replying to either comments or messages...I replied to asks quite quickly though, which is something unusual for me. Usually that’s where I’m slowest. I don’t know, is this another weird anxiety thing? Like I know I can reply, but I just...don’t?
Anyway...let’s get that done now I guess. There’s a lot of these, apologies if something got lost. Maybe it’s my fault, maybe it’s not, all I know is that sometimes my activity feed doesn’t show me everything.
unstablesims replied to your photoset “Vlad the fashion icon strikes again.”
he's rocking that goth TM look lmao
I mean yeah.
unstablesims replied to your photoset “This brings back memories. Maybe he’s not evil, he just wants some...”
he's vv nice to his friends..... the problem is becoming his friend ��
I was going to reply with “if this ain’t me” but...actually once I get comfortable around people, irl especially, I’m awful to them D: (I can quite easily turn into the sarcastic asshole friend and no one believes me until I unleash it lmao) But anyway yeah I kinda can see Vlad to be that way, now that you mention it
#JusticeForVlad2k19

Ronnieeee!!! Your sims are SO gorgeous! Love love love this!
Aaaaah thank you so much! ♥
dandylion240 replied to your photo “I tweeted this last night but I want to share it here as well because...”
When Ross and Caleb finally got together. I'm still hoping Caleb changes his mind and turns Ross.
If I had replied to this a week earlier, I could’ve used my favourite eye emoji. Oh well. Yeah, it’s good he changed his mind, isn’t it? :D I couldn’t stand the idea of separating them.
jackssims replied to your photo “I tweeted this last night but I want to share it here as well because...”
The birth of Miracle! Caleb, Ross, and Sunset! The high school story and when Miracle and Adam got together as well!
ghkjahfljhk lately (I mean for the past few months) I’ve been really disliking Miracle and Adam’s storyline but for some reason when people mention it, they always say they liked it, so I guess I didn’t do that bad of a job? 
Same with the good old Zoey storyline. Everyone who has ever talked to me about it said they liked it and thought it was interesting, but I’m over here like “gjkfjgfjhg don’t mention that mess to me ever again”.
melien replied to your photoset “Sunset spent the New Year’s Eve by playing sims. This is very...”
I'M LITERALLY DOING THIS RIGHT NOW
I feel personally attacked
It’s fine, we’ve all been there :D
I think I played sims too this year. Well, first we played some board games with my parents, then there was midnight, I cried, went to see the fireworks (while finishing a bottle of wine but I swear I wasn’t drunk)...oooh and then I watched a stream and edited my sims screenshots! Okay so I didn’t actually play but I edited the pics and like...these are still fun new year’s eve plans, am I right?
melien replied to your photoset “Dawn came over and the two spent hours talking about space.”
I love their outfits! Totally would wear something like this
I like Sunset’s style especially. Well, sometimes she wears clothes I wouldn’t, but for most of the time, it’s just comfy fun stuff I wish I had. Especially considering my dark phase is over and colours are slowly coming back to my closet :D
melien replied to your post “I have some random sims I could share. Anyone interested?”
Ohhhh... on one hand I'd always want sims from you but on the other hand I fear I won't do them justice because idk where to use them rn. Dilemma
pls ask
I’m always down for creating sims for mutuals and friends (I just never talk about it), so just let me know when you want one. Also, I’m sure you would do them justice. I’m really not afraid you would fail there. You know I love everything you do, so... :D
melien replied to your photoset “This guy ♥”
Ending 2018 on a high note
The best note possible
simtress replied to your photoset “Caleb: Isn’t it sad that there are so many ways a vampire can live a...”
i love the name caleb...♥
Me too! I’ve liked it since the first time I had seen it in an English textbook years ago.
dandylion240  replied to your photoset “Oh god please tell me I didn’t accidentally have risky woohoo on or...”
It'd be fun to see what their kid would look like.
I agree and I’m surprised I’ve never played with their genetics. smh ron
cafeheart replied to your photo
okay he's hot but this also makes me uncomfy for some reason asfdlkjaj put him back
jackssims replied to your photo
I agree he’s got a hot vibe going, but this just feels wrong tbajfnakcn
It is kinda weird, I’ll admit that (but “reimagining” him was fun). It’s like...taking away Caleb Vatore’s weird emo hair. I admit I’ve done that once but it was just to mock myself anyway. I wouldn’t do it “for real”. Emo hair must stay. Yes it’s dumb, but also, it’s iconic. we stan dumb hair
I’d say this is something similar. I don’t want to say anything about Ross is iconic, but...you get my point, right?
jackssims replied to your photoset “Ross: “Okay, I don’t like this. I have a theory.” Caleb: “I know what...”

The funny thing here is, when I was writing this dialogue, I had no idea what was going to happen later.

Way to dodge that, Caleb
Oh yeah. He’s good at that
unstablesims replied to your photoset “Sunset: I know I said I’d work out today but I really don’t want to…oh...”
mood
An everyday one

ahh she's cute! might have to nab her for my private save ;)
Yay, I’m so happy to hear that! :D
jackssims replied to your photoset “Everything about this picture is a big mood. You may tag yourself now.”
Tbh I’m both Caleb and Sunset
Relatable

Ironically her name is ValentineXD
Yup. Exactly. I bet it must be annoying for a person who couldn’t care less about getting into a relationship.
myopiccc replied to your photoset “Sunset wasn’t born to follow the crowd.”
Seriously!?!? I would never know THEY can use an umbrellas clever way! LOL
Lol they sometimes open it inside. Doesn’t seem clever to me :D But yeah, I didn’t expect them to sit down like this.

hes so cute. added him to my save. Tyvm!
Ahhh thank youuu!

I join you with the last point�� I kinda defeated social anxiety irl but the online anxiety stays. And they say shy people can communicate better online!
melien replied to your post “Simblr 2019 Goals”
I third the online anxiety, glad to know I'm not alone
I wish I could say I defeated it irl as well...things got better (mainly because I just had to get used to it and grow a thicker skin) but I’m still an anxious trainwreck 99 % of the time :D It’s the same online. 
Also, instead of actually starting a conversation with people, I’m always like “oh you know, if you feel like talking to me, just send me a message, I don’t bite” but the problem is I know there’s a lot of us like that here and I’m not the only one with this fear of communication so maybe I should be the one to find the courage once
Wow that didn’t make sense but I think that only proves my point that I’m an anxious trainwreck :D
penelope-and-wonders replied to your photoset “You can put the umbrellas away, guys.”
What fun would that be? ��
Oh right, I can’t have a normal wedding :D It’s a universal rule that I should finally accept. Something would be wrong if everything went right for once.
tiny-tany-thaanos replied to your photo “Sim Download: Leigh Smith she/her, pansexual A long long time ago I...”
Omg, I looove her! ❤️❤️
Thank youuu ♥
green-productivitea replied to your photoset “Sunset: “What can I say? Freaking finally. Took you long enough to...”
The fact that she call him dad :O
Yep, she did. I love the relationship these two have.
yamekamerainbows27 replied to your photoset “Sunset: “You’re the woman that said she didn’t want a child, and you...”
Damn Sunset! You tell her girl ��
melien replied to your photoset “Sunset: “You’re the woman that said she didn’t want a child, and you...”
Go Sunset!
That’s what she deserves
sparkiemonkey replied to your photoset “I mean, Sunset was right. Dawn is adorable.”
she is totally adorable
Up until now I was always saying that this legacy has some Good Genes, now with Dawn it will be more like Cute Genes.
unstablesims replied to your photoset “Marcella: “What are you two doing?” Sunset: “Watching the clouds!...”
let them be dorks in peace!! lmao
Exactly!! No reasons to judge
cafeheart replied to your photoset “I would lie if I said I saw this coming.”
yknow if someone didnt have context for your legacy this kinda looks like caleb is murdering ross asdkfbbd
omg you’re right and I hate that you are right
vampcatsims replied to your photoset “Ross: “We’ve taken many risks already and now I’m taking another one,...”
noooo he's going to leave him at the altar god this is going to hurt so much
omg wow this is where scrolling down and reading new ones before old ones causes reaction mistakes cuz omg this is for realsies isn't it?
kyveria replied to your photoset “Ross: “We’ve taken many risks already and now I’m taking another one,...”
@vampcatsims don’t worry, ross has already had someone leave him at the altar so Caleb is going to stay ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Haha yeah, they’re going to be fine. I think. Can’t promise anything.
jackssims replied to your photoset “Caleb: “I…how can I say no to this? Yes, Ross. Yes, I will.” Ross:...”
Good! I was scared he was going to say no for a second ����
Imagine if he left him and I’d introduce a new spouse now. Or bring back Jordan. Or Marika.
Omg imagine I’d bring her back and she’d get her “happy little family” she claims she wishes for now.
myopiccc replied to your post “ - fave types of movies?”
Such a tense era! I'm a historic nerd too:)
Yeah, I love it! I mean, I don’t actually love it, there were some bad things happening, no freedom of speech and such, but for me, it’s an interesting era to learn about. I also think it’s important to know about these times because in a way, they’re still so similar to where we are now, we really should look back at them and try to not make the same mistakes...sadly, when I look at the situation in my country...sometimes it feels like people forget. Not just people like me who didn’t experience it and have only learned about it in History classes...feels like even people who have been there forget and it’s sad and frustrating and I wish I could do something about it. Okay rant over.
jackssims replied to your photoset “Caleb: “Tell me honestly. Did you expect me to change my mind with...”
Nice! But I swear if this somehow backfires and Ross ends up dying...
👀
dandylion240 replied to your photoset “This doesn’t even need a caption.”
Ross you better not have died!!
jackssims replied to your photoset “This doesn’t even need a caption.”
/ROSS/
ajkfaglafkghlahgfk I didn’t realize this would seem like he’s dying I’m sorry for causing panic fjaklflk
I just thought it was funny he set himself on fire and Caleb is over there like “nooo I agreed to marry this freak I have made a grave mistake”
princessdejamars replied to your photoset “Ummmm”
oh no not again
Yes. Yes again. And yeah, I could’ve left without saving. I didn’t. I was shocked when it happened and once I realized he’s pregnant again...you should’ve heard my hysterical laughter. Something is wrong with me and I don’t like it.
cafeheart replied to your photoset “Dawn: “Not a chance.”
sunset looks scared shitless asdkfjdbdb
"fhlakhfalklahkjjkij she’s kissing me I wasn’t prepared for this what do I do jgljfkjhlaafkgl”
jackssims replied to your photoset “Caleb: Nothing happened…I’m fine…I’m just gonna give this dog a bath...”
That's totally not going to lead to more problems later, Caleb, if anything *did* happen (/sarcasm)
Yup. It’s totally okay to do that.
jackssims replied to your photoset “oh shit”
Oh fuck
alfalfalegacy replied to your photoset “oh shit”
wow
this is wild haha
Basically my reaction
jackssims replied to your photoset “Stella: “Dad, you’re home alone?” Caleb: “I think so.” Stella: “Aw,...”
jlkfdzsjlkfadg She's pregnant, he's pregnant, truly amazing
ikr
That’s a twist I truly didn’t expect at the end of this generation. Not that I’m complaining
jackssims replied to your photoset “Stella: “Anything else?” Caleb: “What? Is there supposed to be...”
/Caleb/
jackssims replied to your photoset “Caleb: “And that’s not all…” Ross: “Huh?” Caleb: “Nothing. Forget it.”
//Caleb//
See Ross and Caleb were made for each other because they both have a hard time learning from their mistakes lol
dandylion240 replied to your post “I WAS HOPING HE WAS PREGNANT WITH HIS FIANCE'S BABY NOT GETTING...”
There's a way to bend the rules. Since Ross will become a vampire. He and Caleb have forever to have a child together. So once Sunset takes over as heir I say anything goes for Ross after that �� but that's just me lol
Ooh, technically that could work! I didn’t even think about that. Good point. I don’t think they’ll have children together but I really do like this idea.
jackssims replied to your photoset “Ross: “Is there anything you would like to tell me?” Caleb: “I was...”
Good! Caleb got the courage to tell Ross
I mean he didn’t really have another option at this point
jackssims replied to your photoset “Caleb: “You’re not going to leave me now, are you?” Ross: “I’m...”
Wholesome Ross (he’s really come full circle tbh)
I kept saying he would get better and no one believed me. There you have it guys, he’s a changed person. Character development! :D
simtress replied to your photo “™¥ ♥”
*eeps! she's too cute1
ikr, I miss her ;-;
melien replied to your photoset “Stella: I can’t believe it’s actually raining on my wedding day. We...”
It's a free riiiiide when you've already paid
Is this a reference I am supposed to get
Because I’m dumb and don’t get it lmao
melien replied to your photoset “Sunset: “Say cheese hair!”
So don't ask how I remember it because I'm probably too invested lol but your theme with red hair/blonde(yellow) hair in gen 3 of every legacy? It continues
Omg I didn’t even realize! Sebastian and Lynn started it obviously, then in my Raven Legacy it was a little “easter egg” but this time, it’s a coincidence (a nice coincidence). I guess I just can’t have too many redheads!
melien replied to your photoset “oh shit”
The ultimate plot twist
The plot twist I normally would’ve welcomed but this time, I actually felt sorry for him. He didn’t deserve it the first time (aka the time I was petty and did it on purpose) and he didn’t deserve it this time either. But still. Aliens. I can’t just quit the game without saving when it has to do something with them, can I?
melien replied to your post “I WAS HOPING HE WAS PREGNANT WITH HIS FIANCE'S BABY NOT GETTING...”
Maybe babies for them perhaps?
Y’all really want them to have kids huh
melien replied to your photoset “Nooooo Rocket :( He’s old now!”
Can Caleb also turn Rocket? Vampire doggo would be fun
Man I’d love if that was possible (even though...I just imagined him biting the poor dog and that’s kinda weird). Buuuut...there’s something else that I did and it’s almost as good.
tiny-tany-thaanos replied to your photo “Sim Download: Minako Ito she/her, lesbian Traits: Good, Loner,...”
All of the Sims you put for download are so pretty! I'm grabbing them all!
Thank you so much ;-;
tiny-tany-thaanos replied to your photo “i was enchanted to meet you”
Aaahh nostalgia!
I knoooow ;-; I love them and I miss them and I want to play with them again
I mean I could, first I’d just have to finish the high school story and that’s...highly unlikely lol
tiny-tany-thaanos replied to your photoset “oh shit”
Aliens are in love with him that's true
New otp: Caleb/Aliens. Oh that's weird
They have a weird thing for Calebs
If you guys know a Caleb irl protect them
If you are a Caleb, well...I’m sorry
tiny-tany-thaanos replied to your photoset “Rocket: Hey I’m old, just thought you should know…oh nevermind what...”
This is somehow sad=((
Yeah. I love this little dog so much :(
