Unexpected

Author: xxwritemeastoryxx

Pairings: Damon Salvatore x Reader

Requested By: Anon - Hello! First of all I love your writing! It's truely amazing! So I was wondering if you could do a Damon x Reader where the reader is Damon's gf & no one knew cause the reader is just a genuinely shy, quiet & a pure bean in general while Damon is a bad boy ya know?? IDK I thoughts it's very cute 😊

Word Count: 1K

Warnings: Nothing that I can think of.This one is pretty tame.

Author’s Note: I though this idea was cute. I could just imagine the look on everyone’s face and it made for an easy writing process for this. I did adjust some things to make sense to this one shot but it worked so well and I enjoyed writing it. I hope you guys enjoy reading it! ♥

The moment Damon walked down stairs and into the living room, he shook his head as he rolled his eyes. The living room currently had several of the usual people that it seemed to occupy recently.

"Can you do this elsewhere?" He asked as he walked in further, not caring about what it was they were actually doing. "Y/N is coming over and I'd rather not have this brooding bunch ruin the day before it even gets started."

"This is kind of important." Stefan said as he looked over towards his brother. The others had a raised brow as they looked towards the older Salvatore. "You know we have other things to worry about than who you plan on sleeping with, like worrying about the vampire that's going around town and killing people."

An annoyed sigh passed Damon's lips as he crossed his arms over his chest. "First of all I handled that little situation last night." He said with a shrug. "Even buried him in the woods. You're welcome. And secondly the plans I have with my girlfriend doesn't involve a bed until way later in the night."

"Eww." "Gross." "We don't need details, Damon."

The complaints had came from the others that had been sitting in the room. It had caused Damon to roll his eyes once more. He had forgotten he was dealing with a bunch of literal children.

"When will we get to meet this mysterious Y/N?" Caroline asked.

A confused look formed on Damon's face. "When? You've already met her." There had been several times that Y/N had spoken with them and they had all seemed to know who she was. Yet here they were talking about meeting her for the first time.

"I think I would remember meeting your new girlfriend." Caroline said with a raised eyebrow. "Especially if shes you're usual type."

Damon gave Caroline a glare. While it was obvious that Damon did have a type, things had been completely different with Y/N. For once he was taking things seriously and not rushing things. It had been that way for months and it obviously went under their noses.

"Then you must be blind, Blondie." He said with a small smirk on his lips. "It's Y/N Y/L/N." There was a sudden look of shock and gasps from the group that had been sitting in front of him.

"You're kidding right?" Elena asked as she stood up from her seat.

The girls had known Y/N since they were in diapers. While Y/N wasn't in their social circle, they still knew the girl. She was the complete opposite of Damon. Where Damon was loud and hadn't cared about anything, Y/N was quiet and careful.

"Did you have to compel her to date you?" Jeremy asked from his seat across the room.

"Absolutely not." Damon said with a shake of his head. "There are other ways to get people to like me. I don't have to resort to compulsion, especially with her."

"I don't believe it." Stefan said as he crossed his arms over his chest. "That girl would be afraid of who you are in an instant."

Damon laughed as he shook his head slightly. "That's where you are wrong brother. If you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself since she just pulled up."

The others looked towards the front door and a moment later the bell had rang announcing that she had arrived.

The moment the front door opened up, a blush began to creep along Y/N's cheek and neck. She hadn't been expecting a group of people to answer the door. She had only been expecting Damon. Seeing the shocked expressions had made her a bit nervous.

"Is, um, Damon in?" She asked as her hands fidgeted with the lace border of her white tank top.

"In here, Y/N/N." Damon called from somewhere behind the crowd that was still watching you. "Just push through the gawking bystanders."

If anything her blush deepened as she looked at the others again. "E-excuse me." She said as she moved to enter the house. She had kept her head down slightly as she had taken her first few steps, trying to avoid their awkward stares.

As she did, they slowly moved out of her way, creating a path between them. It gave her a clear view of Damon who had been leaning against the wall with a smug look on his face.

"What is that all about?" Y/N asked as she reached Damon.

Damon laughed and pulled her into a hug and kissed her softly. "Apparently whenever I said your name, they thought I was talking about someone else. They are in a bit of shock."

"Y/N..." There was concern in Bonnie's voice as she took a few steps towards the two. "You're dating Damon?"

"I thought that was obvious..." Y/N said as her eyes looked at the others. "I mean, we talk about it from time to time."

"Aren't you worried he'd compel you?" It was Stefan that asked as he came to stand next to Bonnie.

Y/N laughed and shook her head. "I can't be compelled. I thought Damon would have told you that." She said as she looked towards Damon.

He shrugged his shoulders slightly. "Slipped my mind. Not like it matters."

"Wait a minute," Caroline began, her hand running through her blonde hair. "Why can't you be compelled?"

"She's a witch." Damon said with a small smile on his lips. "Though she doesn't actively practice. I remember mentioning there was another witch in town. But the Bennetts are of more importance apparently."

Y/N smacked Damon's chest with the back of her hand and shook her head slightly. "I really thought you guys knew about this."

"How about we let them stew in the details that they chose to ignore." Damon said as he took a hold of Y/N's hand. "We've got a full day of fun ahead of us."

A smile pulled at Y/N's lips. "Lets go." There was excitement in her words before Damon lead her back through the others towards the door.

Once the door was closed behind them and the engine of the Camaro came to life, the others looked towards each other.

"Did that just really happen?" Caroline asked.

"Yeah Care, it really did." Elena said with a nod.

Love Potion Extravaganza Bonus

Thanks as always to @pizzansunshine for editing what I promise to be the final of the love potion extravaganza. As I said before, I wanted to include the sirenas. And thanks to Crazy Ex Gf releasing one last song on love, it inspired me to write this. As you can guess from the song, Love is not a game https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G9VnIL33TvI There is plenty of bets. Hope y’all enjoy.

Marisa ran to the post office of Buena Vista, waving frantically to the elderly post man who was shifting through his bag, “Hi! Hello! Is there anything for us? It would be in a royal document sealed with the Avaloran crest and-”

“Sí Princesa, I know what document you are waiting for. You have been stopping by every morning and afternoon to see if it has arrived.” The postman said smoothing his grey mustache in a torturously slow fashion instead of looking at his letters for a document for her.

“Well?” Marisa asked eagerly, clasping her hands together in an effort to keep from grabbing his bag and looking through the letters herself.

“No, no letters this morning from the central area. Try again in the afternoon.” The postman shrugged, “Oh but here are the postcards you wanted.”

He handed three blank postcards with dazzling images of Cariza, Tir ná Nög and Brazendale.

How she would love to visit!

Ever since the peace treaty was signed between the Avalorans and the Sirenas and the subsequent Royal Retreat Marzel attended, her parents had become more open to the idea of travelling around to another sea and visiting. So Marisa started planning the trip by asking the postman for postcards of other kingdoms so they would get to see what they looked like today. Mom had told them stories of what they were like when she was young but she had only heard rumors of what they were like, she had mainly resided in Avalor when she was human and only visited Cordóba once.

From the postcards she had so far, Marisa was more partial to visiting Napurna it looked gorgeous with the image of the Salt Sea and Marzel had said King Raj was a very bubbly fellow to be with.

But despite the postcards, it didn’t make up for the loss of curiosity and excitement she had for the Avaloran’s upcoming letter.

Elena had had a trade meeting recently between Paraíso and Cordóba that almost ended in chaos thanks to Carla Delgado setting off a love potion through the town. Elena had been sending episodic letters about the entire situation, who fell in love with who, how they acted, what Carla had been doing, etc. and they had just arrived at the second to last letter where everyone drank the antidote and was back to normal even though Carla escaped.

Elena had finished the letter promising that her last letter would detail what had come out of the circumstances and Marisa was dying to know!

“Wow, Marisa,” Marzel panted, running up next to her to rest his arm on her shoulder, “Slow down. You have a lot more practice on legs than me. You’re too fast.”

“Here’s your hat señor,” the postman broke in between them to hand Marzel the fedora he requested. Elena had also been giving him fashion advice for how to blend in with humans and he had been obediently ordering them from local stores as she had suggested. Last week’s letter told him to get a fedora and get rid of the loud purple sombrero and feather hat that he had been keeping in his room.

“Cool!” Marzel spun the rim of the snazzy black fedora on his head, and almost missed hearing Marisa’s jibe.

“I’m not that fast on legs. You’re just clumsy.” Marisa retorted narrowly avoided the jab Marzel aimed at her ribs for the insult.

Before Marzel could fire back at her with his own comment on her walking skills, Marisa changed the subject to the important topic, “No letter this morning.”

“Come on!” Marzel cried, “I need to know if Elena ended up with Gabe!”

“Gabe?” Marisa wrinkled her nose as they turned to walk back through town to the seashore, “Do you not know, Elena? She’s obviously into Mateo. She’s going to tell us that they are dating right now. I know it.”

“She was only into Mateo because of the love spell.” Marzel gave her a condescending look.

“No! The love spell paired people who had some feelings for each other! That’s why she was all over Mateo. Why would she choose Gabe after all that anyway?” Marisa argued.

“The answer is threefold.” Marzel jabbed the air with his finger assuming his obnoxious fancy voice, “One, she felt bad for rejecting him-”

“Because she was hurting his feelings and she felt that she had no time for dating.” Marisa interrupted.

“She felt bad for rejecting him because she felt like she had to not because she wanted to. Two, they balance each other out. He’s the calm to her impulsivity. He’s knows the laws, she makes the laws.”

“Hmm... sort of like how you balance me out, Brother?” Marisa pointed out, exaggeratingly tapping her finger against her chin.

“Let me finish. And number three, they balance each other out as pointed out in number two.” Marzel finished proudly crossing his arms.

“So your argument is twofold.” Marisa smirked, knowing her comment was riling him up.

“It’s threefold.” “Twofold.”

“Threefold.” “Threefold.”

“Twofold-argh!” Marzel cursed when Marisa’s switch-up caused him to accept her answer.” Fine then, why do you think Elena is into Mateo?”

“You should have seen them together after Elena defeated Shuriki. He was hanging onto her every word to make sure she was okay.”

“Sounds like a good friendship to me.” Marzel interrupted mocking her voice from her earlier comment but Marisa ignored him.

“They danced together at the party. And I swear when Elena put on the kelp shirt, she took a peak at Mateo..”

“Psshh that did not happen.” Marzel scoffed.

“You weren’t there.” Marisa crossed her arms, “I saw it with my own eyes.”

“No way. That’s not enough evidence. Why wouldn’t Elena like Gabe? He has it all. Good looks, he’s cautious, he has excellent fighting skills, he’s charming, the girls like him..”

“Are you rooting for him because he’s like you? Biased much.” Marisa mocked.

“What are you two arguing about?” Cuco asked as the sirenas approached the shore where Cuco, Ocho and Daria were waiting.

“Whether Elena will end up with Gabe or Mateo.” Marisa answered, emphasizing Mateo’s name. They knew what they were talking about since the royal family plus they had been eagerly reading the letters during lunch and dinnertime.

“That’s great.” Daria snapped curtly as to leave no room to continue the conversation, “Marzel, your dad wants to go over some public relations topic with you, and Marisa, you have to keep your promise to help the children’s singing group. It’s at lunchtime, but you insist on playing with them beforehand so you better get going now.”

Due to her role in helping Saloso and the rest malandros almost invade Coronado and the ensuing rescue, King Pescoro had demoted Daria’s army commander status to being a personal guard for the siblings for the time being. Which was for the best because with the human-sirena peace treaty, there was no need for an army commander unless they were suddenly called to war again.

Now Daria spent her day hounding them to keep on schedule and make sure they...technically Marisa... did not try to sneak off to the mainland when they were needed elsewhere for lessons or other obligations. She took the job as seriously as she took her last position, but they had all noticed that Daria mellowed out a little bit too. They heard her make a joke! It had only happened once though because the event had surprised Marisa so much that she nearly choked on her kelp taco.

“What about Alonso?” Cuco pointed out completely ignoring Daria’s instructions for them to head back to Coronado.

“What about him?” The siblings cocked their heads to the side in unison.

“Elena and Alonso.” Cuco said as if that cleared things up.

“Elena and Alonso are not here. Let’s get going.” Ocho commanded.

“No. No. I can’t picture Elena and Alonso together.” Marzel laughed,

“Remember that part where he sang that awful song to Naomi. And he slept with the malvago. No way would Elena date a guy like him.”

“You can finish this conversation later. You have duties to attend to.” Daria reminded them, impatiently slapping her fin against the water.

“Alonso showed no interest in her. With or without the love potion.” Marisa argued with the large hippocampus.

“But who knows. Maybe they both had a change of heart after the love potion. He was going all over the place because he had no true love. Maybe Elena is the one for him. The prince and the princess” Cuco sighed dreamily.

“No.” Marisa and Marzel insisted in unison.

“It’s Mateo.” “It’s Gabe.”

“Will you two stop? Elena is going to say she is dating Mateo in her next letter. Now let’s go do important things then speculate about your friend’s love life. Marzel, take off that hat, we’re leaving.” Daria finished the argument for them.

“What? No you can’t think it’s Mateo too!” Marzel cried, completely ignoring her order to take off his fedora.

Daria rolled her eyes, “It’s obvious. They look at each other with complete trust whenever I saw them interact. Love is just adding tenderness to the equation.”

“No-but-no. What do you know about love?” Marzel shot back.

“I know a lot more about love, and war, and life than you do.” Daria raised an eyebrow in challenge.

“Hmm then you’re willing to put your money where your mouth is? I bet 50 sand dollars plus 3 gold doubloons that Elena ends up with Gabe.” Marzel challenged, slipping some golden doubloons from his leggings to hold up.

“I’ll bet 100 sand dollars.” Daria answered with a smirk at Marzel’s nervous gulp.

“105.” Marzel said.

“Oh oh I wanna get in this too. I’d give you 20 doubloons if you’re right. No sand dollars.” Ocho scooched up with get on top of Daria’s shoulder.

“Guys? I don’t know if we should do this. It’s one thing to debate, but betting?” Marisa said, nervously listening to the escalating numbers.

“10 sand dollars that she ends up with Alonso.” Cuco added.

“30 doubloons that if you’re right, she’ll dump him within a week.” Marzel scowled.

“I say 134 sand dollars that Alonso would get bored before Elena would dump him, and so dump her.” Daria contested.

“This is just getting mean.” Marisa vocalized as the one sound of reason but to no avail.

“Elena would dump Gabe. Who wants to bet 10 doubloons that Elena dumps Gabe?” Ocho hollered.

“Guys.”

“Elena dumps Mateo.”

“Eight sand dollars plus three copper doubloons.”

“Mateo dumps Elena!”

“Four doubloons.”

“They get married.”

“They’ll divorce.”

“Alonso would so cheat on her.”

“300 sand dollars.”

“Eighteen sand dollars.”

“GUYS!” Marisa yelled, freezing everyone in the middle of their frenzied betting.

Marisa walked across the shoreline looking at each of them square in the eye as she sang, “How dare you play with love? Have you no decency?

Love is what created him, and him, and her, and me.

How dare you play with love?

Is nothing sacred to you?”

Marzel and Cuco looked guiltily to the ground, Daria stared stonily ahead but tensley rubbed the doubloons in her hands, Ocho scowled.

“Love is what unites me and you and him and her and him and him and me as well.”

Marisa stared at them and their ill-at-ease postures before letting them off the hook.

“JK LOL!”

The four stared at her in confusion. Both from the odd human slang Naomi had taught her and for her sudden change of heart.

“I want in on this too. But can we be discreet about it? It feels wrong and our parents would probably say it’s wrong to place bets on Elena’s love life... It’s just I have a good feeling that I’m going to win!” Marisa squealed, holding up a sand dollar her brother dropped on the sand, “Let's do this!”

They all immediately scrambled to gather up their currencies so no straying beach goers would find them. They had decided the copper doubloons would be used for any Mateo bets since it was the closest to the color red. Silver would be Gabe and Alonso was gold.

Meanwhile Marisa began to hum a jaunty tune, “Love's not a game, love's not a game.

None of us would ever say love's a game.

That would be bad, you can be sure-a.”

“But I'm in the mood to wear this cool fedora,” Marzel rhymed before Daria snatched it off his head.

Marisa and Marzel jumped into the water to transform to their normal form, “Love's not a game, love's not a game. We would never play with love like it's a game.”

Ocho swam up next to Cuco, unofficial racing him to the next rock, “But if we did...”

Cuco winked, “And that would be wrong.”

They crowed together as they whipped around the kelp beds, “We'd put 30 doubloons down that Gabe has the biggest schlong.”

Marisa raised her eyebrows at that image but shrugged, “Oh, interesting, I'll double that!”

Daria put her nose in the air, “I'll triple that!”

Marisa took up the next chorus as they swam through the shipwreck graveyard, “Love is not sirenas swimming down courses. They're our dear friends, they are not seahorses.”

Cuoco galloped ahead of her, “Their love is pure, groom meets bride,”

“So we'd never soil it with a death pool on the side,” Ocho added nudging Marzel who flinched at Marisa’s “that-is-so-wrong” glare.

Daria handed Ocho a sand dollar, “Alonso, age 52, parasailing accident.”

Ocho gasped, “That's so smart. Same.”

Marisa shook her head at that sick bet even though she kind could see it happen. Marzel started the next line of their song, “Love's an endgame, but it's not a game.”

“Our mouths keep saying that, but our hands need change,” Marisa admitted when she placed an IOU for 60 sand dollars and a pound of doubloons with Cuco that if Mateo and Elena got married in the future, Mateo would be the one to propose.

“Put 30 on red, poetically...For red's the color of a heart that beats free.”

“Red is also Mateo. It's going to be Mateo.” Daria yelled as she zoomed off ahead at the sight of the coral alarms so she could recheck them.

The closer they approached the castle, the more jittery Marisa got. It was like being near the presence of her parents reminded her how wrong this was. She looked to her side and saw that Marzel had a similar anxious expression. She swam up next to him, suddenly wishing to stop the group so she could return her bet money.

“We definitely shouldn't do this,

We definitely shouldn't do this.

This is bad, this is bad,

We're going to hell, this is bad.”

Yet the moment they arrived at the palace Marisa and Marzel’s worries dissipated. They were immediately whisked off to their respective duties and temporarily forgot about their betting and their money until dinner time came.

“Marisa, do you want to see if Princess Elena’s letter arrived yet?” Queen Camila said nonchalantly, but the way her tail twitched underneath their dinner table signaled that she was a lot more excited than she let on about hearing the conclusion to the long saga.

Marisa hesitated for a second when she heard her father come swimming up eagerly, “Is the letter here? Did Elena end up with Gabe?”

“No, honey. There’s no letter about Elena not ending up with Gabe.” Queen Camila corrected with a soft hand on his.

The moment that clinched it was when Marisa spotted her mom mouth, “It’s going to be Mateo,” and her dad shook his head patronizingly.

“Marzel, Daria, Ocho, Cuco, we’re going to see if there is a letter!” Marisa whooped, not even looking behind her to see if the others were following.

When Marzel was able to catch up to her Marisa sheepishly turned to him to say, “Uh um can I get in on the Alonso parasailing bet. I think it’s very likely to happen.”

“Oh that’s off. We all agreed that Alonso is likely to die parasailing.” Marzel waved it off dismissively.

Marisa giggled a little at the thought that was the one bet they could all agree on. Then she got back on task to swimming as fast as she could.

They were going to find their answer in a matter of moments. Hopefully today!

Once they reached the shores, Marisa and Marzel jumped up, crashing into each other once they were on the sandy ground. Heads bumping, but too animated to feel the pain they raced to the town’s post office as Ocho yelled behind them, “Don’t open it without us!”

Marisa was the one who arrived at the office first after Marzel tripped over an old lady’s cane and she nearly knocked over the elderly postman herself.

“Steady there, señorita.” The postman warned, chuckling grittily, “I have what you wish.”

“YES!” Marisa prompting Marzel to run faster in her direction.

“Thankyouthankyousomuch!” Marisa babbled hugging the man before ripping the document from his hands.

As she turned the corner, she crashed into Marzel turning the world upside down with dancing starfish around her head.

“IS THIS IT?” Marzel crowed in amazement, taking the document reverently from her, earning the disapproving glare of a man with a baby at his loudness.

“YES IT IS!” Marisa screeched, grabbing it back from him. The creamy white document had a red seal of a jaquin’s head. It may have been her imagination but it just seemed to glow and sparkly like the gold doubloons and sand dollars she was bound to collect after they read it.

“SHHHHH!” The man shushed them.

The siblings scrambled to their feet and ran to the shore leaping and singing excitedly.

“Love's not a game, love's not a game.

That being said, let's make it rain!

While Cupid descends from above...”

“They have it! They have it! I’m going to be rich!” Ocho shook Cucoa’s shoulders with exhilaration and even stone-faced Daria was smiling in anticipation.

“Can you even spend it?” Cuco innocently asked the octopus earning a smack on the cheek from the irate sea creature.

Marisa and Marzel knelt down to the knees and sang their song as they slowly opened the letter. “The group mind has decided to bet on love!”

The song began to grow in volume as the three others joined in repeating the refrain, “Love's not a game, love's not a game,

Love's not a game!”

Marisa cracked open the seal and Marzel slipped out the letter, “Alonso should be wary of parasails!”

They all scanned the letter, reading as fast as their eyes could possibly go. Marisa was skimming so quickly that she reached the “Love, Elena” part without even understanding what she had read and nervously went back to the beginning to read again.

Nothing was jumping out at her. No Mateo or Gabe or love.

Was it possible that Elena ended up with no one?

The nagging guilty feeling that Marisa had forgotten came back again to form a pit in her stomach. They all had gotten so caught up in her love life, they had forgotten the true sight of it all. A love potion did not mean Elena was going to make it a big focus of her life from now on. She had other things to do, a kingdom to run and they were busy making bets on a part of her life that was only hers alone to care about.

It wasn’t even like they cared about Elena’s love life for the sake of her happiness, they just wanted to get money out of the bets.

No, this disappointment served them right.

“What?” Ocho screeched indignantly, “This is useless. It has nothing!”

“She-she didn’t end up with anyone?” Marzel moaned disappointedly.

Marisa looked frantically at the parchment even at the little side bars to see if there was any doodles or invisible words, but nothing!

“Wait!” Daria grabbed the paper ad flipped it to the back.

“And Mateo?”

Marisa snatched it back, “Love Elena” she flipped it to the back, “And Mateo! With a heart next to. I think they’re together.”

All those regretful feelings about how wrong Marisa felt it was to bet on Elena’s love life disappeared with a snap. She’d won! She was getting so much money! She had bragging rights over her brother! Yes!!

“Oh goodness, they’re together. That means I’m right! HA, I’M RIGHT!”

“Noooo!” Marzel and Cuco yelled out when Marisa began her celebratory dance, high fiving Daria and all of Ocho’s tentacles.

“Pay up!” Ocho sing-songed, gesturing to Cuco.

“Fine” Marzel grumbled handing each of them two sand dollars, “I’ll give the rest to you later. So you can give it back to me when they break up.”

“There not breaking up.” Marisa laughed, “Also I hate to say it, but I told you so. “No you’re not.” Marzel rolled his eyes, huffing with outrage at being proven wrong.

“Nope cause I’m rich!” Marisa cheered and then booped Marzel on the nose, “Aww don’t get all pouty just because I’m better at matters of the heart than you.”

With that final smug comment on her victory, Marisa leapt into the water to go tell her mother the fabulous news.

Welcome to the Framework

Well its been a bit since I’ve gotten to do a proper meta and I wanted to celebrate being halfway through Hiatus with one.

I just wanted to get down everything we have on the Framework so far and a few of the theories we have for everyone in there.

The big thing we need to note and really helped me with coming up with theories is it doesn’t have to make sense.

IE If Coulson never joined Shield he couldn’t have met May and they can’t be together. AIDA Is the master here, so if May’s regret was not getting together with Coulson then she’s going to make that happen.

The Hostages

Coulson, May, Mack, Mace, and Fitz

They have all essentially been Tahiti’d by AIDA fixing their regret and their real memories will be repressed by the life the fix gave them.

Couslon

Regret Fixed:

Joining Shield in the first place

Or coming back after his death, IE when he was brought back he got the Cal treatment and a new life vs the Bus.

Current Location:

History/Social Studies Teacher

Washington DC or his home state of Wisconsin

Theories/Head Canons:

If Robo Coulson was telling the truth in 4x15 then Coulson is married to/in a relationship with May. There is no wedding ring there the screen shot.

I low key love the Trophy Husband/BF of Hydra Big Wig May.

As a citizen he will be one if not the easiest for the girls to get too, and likely one if not the first.

Unless he is said trophy husband/bf of May...then he’ll have a fair amount of security on him.

The trick with Coulson is the “Its a Wonderful Life” twist in showing him how much good he has done, that the good out weights the bad by a long shot.

I have a hard time believing that Coulson in any world will be into Inhumans are dangerous/bad and suspect he will being forced to teach this. Hydra is in control and makes the rules.

Also won’t be shocked if Coulson isn’t helping out in his own little ways. Fighting back almost without realizing it.

Writers I beg you for the “Guys, I know Kung Fu” moment.

Look for a lot of development between Coulson and May, Daisy, and Mace.

Kick in the Feels Potentials:

Initially not knowing or remembering Skye/Daisy

Not ever knowing May or anyone else on the team...but May and Daisy will offer the biggest kick in the feels.

If he really goes ‘believe’ the Hydra Inhumans are bad stuff.

Quotes/Spoilers:

None for Coulson specifically

Mack

Regret Fixed:

The opportunity to be a father.

Current Location:

Unknown, we suspect the DC area as well if he is working for Hydra.

Possibly in Indiana if he also isn’t involved with Shield/Hydra

Theories/Head Canons:

Next to Coulson I feel he will be one of the easiest for them to get too, especially if he is also a civilian.

If he is with Hydra I don’t suspect he’s as high up as May.

Possibly a mechanic

I also don’t think he is with any sort of Shield underground. He’s living out in the open and don’t think he would put his daughter in that kind of danger.

Mack’s fix made it so he wasn’t on the Illiad in the fall and wasn’t there to help the crew fight back. I suspect as a result Hartley, Bobbi, and Gonzales were all killed that day and won’t be in the Framework.

We will get a triumphant return of the Shotgun Ax at some point.

I had originally speculated he would be a candidate for who wanted to stay behind. But now I’m not as sure on that one. Once he realizes the life he’s been leading isnt’ real I think he will be willing to let it go so they can stop AIDA....still gonna suck and we’re goign to have a when Mack cries we all cry kind of moment....but he will come out. But I can see him resisting to joing the fight.

Potential Kick in the Feels:

Real or no Mack is going to have to say goodbye to his daughter again. So stock up on Thin Mints now.

We could see his distrust for all things alien at an all time high. Daisy helped him get over that. And part of that distrust also had him helping Real Shield. IE Mack isn’t too upset with the extreme measures surrounding the Inhumans.

If he is part of Hydra we could see his Shield job a bit twisted and rather than helping Inhumans....he’s Hunting them.

When approached by the girls he tells them to simply go away, he’s happy.

Him not knowing or caring about getting back to Elena when the girls bring her up.

Spoilers/Quotes

TVLINE | Mack’s situation made sense, reuniting with his daughter. But Coulson’s surprised me a bit — teaching? We’ve learned a little bit about all our characters this year, and that’s not a coincidence. We were planning on exploring them as people with a whole new set of experiences, trying to find themselves or who they are within that whole new reality. We’ll see that with anybody we encounter who’s been plugged into the Framework.

This is going to be a long one so under the thing we go!

Fitz:

Regret Fixed:

Not having a positive/supportive father figure

Being Betrayed/Abandoned

Current Location:

Unknown but based on the plates on the car somewhere in DC.

Theories/Head Canons:

The prevailing theory is that AIDA gave Fitz a positive father figure that supported him and his genius in the form of Radcliffe. Again remember things don’t need to make complete sense. AIDA is the mastermind so she can shove a square peg into a round hole to make it so Radcliffe is in this position.

We are unsure to the degree he is affiliated with Hydra

Expecting him to be along the lines of a Quinn/Stark

Hydra or no, he’s got bodyguards and could prove difficult to get too...especially if you throw Radcliffe in the mix who has a vested interest in making sure the hostages don’t get out.

Jemma getting to Fitz’s HEART is the larger arc here, that he is more than his ‘programming’.

Fitz stands to have the best chance at taking down the Framework from the inside.

In some way shape or form he will be used as leverage against Radcliffe and/or Jemma.

He “Should” be happy but he will be one that isn’t. AIDA doesn’t understand what Happiness is/means. On some level, no matter what AIDA has done he will sense he’s missing something (cough Jemma) as losing her was his absolute worst fear.

I’m still low key hoping that Fitz knows she’s alive and helped her fake her death...not holding my breath....but will cling to that bit of hope until canon blows it up.

Kick in the Feels:

He doesn’t know who Jemma is/was

They were indeed bitter rivals

There is a Rando GF (again just remember ITS NOT REAL) and we honest to goodness don’t have time to get too deep into anything like that.

He’s not the Fitz we know

He’s Radcliffe’s ultimate hostage and won’t believe anything against his ‘father’.

Notable Quotes/Spoilers:

It's also a reflection of how steeped into this world he is that he doesn't seem to be troubled by the fact that she's in a grave, which was sort of the point of that moment. He looks like he's on top of the world.

Is there any chance that Radcliffe could actually be Fitz’s father on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.? — Micah I saw that theory on Reddit recently, so I took it to the source: “They’re both Scottish, and we’ve discussed it at length,” EP Jed Whedon says. “Truthfully, there’s no one better to play his dad than John Hannah, but no, Radcliffe is not his father.” There goes that theory!

May

Regret Fixed:

May is tough since we haven’t had May as May since 8.

“What are we waiting for?” and she did have a relationship with Coulson.

Something out of left field that isn’t on our Radar.

Current Location:

Hydra HQ

Theories/Head Canons:

She is either high up if not the Director of Hydra

She is DEEP undercover for what is left of Shield.

Daisy should be able to get to her with relative ease considering she and Ward are with Hydra...we think.

May is going to be kicking some serious rear judging by how much we’ve got her Stunt Double coming up.

Due to the length of time she’s been in there and that she has beaten it before I think that May will be one they are able to ‘get back’ relatively quickly.

LIke FItz she was called out as one that “Seemed” on top of the world so I think she will know on some level something is off and not be happy.

Kick in the Feels Potential:

Evil Director of Hydra May

Not knowing her Ducklings

Not knowing Coulson

Something worse than Bahrain lurking

Notable Quotes/Spoilers:

TVLINE | So in May’s case, for example, wha’ts going on with her there in the Triskelion elevator? There will be a lot of me saying, “You’ll have to wait and see,” but… you’ll have to wait and see. No, she seems like she’s very comfortable in that elevator. I don’t think that she’s afraid that she’s there. It doesn’t look like she’s a prisoner but perfectly comfortable.

Mace:

Regret Fixed:

He’s the hero he always wanted to be

Current Location:

Unknown but suspect Playground

Theories/Head Canons:

Joined Shield ages ago

Is really Inhuman

Possibly helping to lead the resistance.

Will go by the Patriot

He and Coulson will get some good bonding moments

Top of my list to want to stay/not make it out.

Kick in the Feels:

His coming heroic sacrifice

Notable Quotes/Spoilers

None for Mace.

Overall I also feel we need to brace that the hostages don’t get thier memories back until they get out. IE they are fighting and doing the right thing because its who they are...not because they got their memories back.

Jemma/Daisy

The girls are self aware so it won’t matter what their Avatars were doing before, Jemma and Daisy are taking over for them now and their memories will be in tact.

Its going to hurt like Hades when they realizes what has been done to their friends...I have a feeling Lil is going to kill us again.

Daisy is going to be in with Hydra it seems and her Avatar was likely helping to hunt Inhumans.

I don’t think Daisy will have her powers, if she does she’s hiding them.

Daisy’s arc is fully realizing her hero arc.

Jemma I am expecting to be part of the Shield Resistance and Undercover with Hydra/Shield....or possibly wherever Fitz is.

She is NOT in the grave.

Again kick in the feels as she gets Fitz to remember the man he really is and his good heart.

Woman on fire...here we come!

Radcliffe

He is a bit of an x factor for us. He helped build the world and quite possibly made changes even before the hostages were sent in. IE he made it so he already had Fitz as a son/partner he wanted.

He noticed a change when the hostages came in and it rippled to effect him in some way.

We don’t know if he is self aware of it AIDA “Tahit’d” him too when she sent him in for the last time.

Radcliffe is the only one who knows exactly where the hostages are being held.

Radcliffe will have to face the thing he fears the most if he gives it up, death.

I stand by my pre season prediction that when we see him fall for good its for Fitz.

Radcliffe is still one of the biggest threats to the Framework itself.

The Avatars

The Framework is going to be full of new and old faces. As much as we want to see lots of people back we also have to be careful that we don’t get too many and we lose the fight to save the hostages. My top picks to see again:

Ward: He’s been confirmed but will be interesting.

As the Ward in there is based off the memories of the hostages and their fixes.

Meaning...he can go either way on us. He can help or he can be a foil. Ward is the king of Plot Twists...I completely expect that to continue here.

Trip: Without Coulson/The Temple he never died. Its a matter of where he landed after the fall.

I don’t think he’ll be Hydra and I expect him to be with Mace or even in prison for being loyal to Shield.

Hunter: Now he can also go either way on us as he was a Mercenary.

Option 1: Mercenary hired by and working for Hydra

Option 2: Mercenary hired by and working for Shield again...driven by wanting to get revenge on Hydra for killing Bobbi.

Option 3: Mercenary hired by Fitz or Radcliffe and is on Fitz’s protection detail. (FYI this is my dream option).

Option 4: He’s working free lance and the girls find him to get his help.

Mike: Depends on who they got to stabilize the extremis and its a toss up of who he is working for...likely still unwillingly with Hydra.

Bakshi

Cal

The Dragon

Its not going to be as simple as finding everyone and getting them out. There needs to be someone/something they have to fight in order to get out. A ticking clock if you will.

Its going to take time, not only to find everyone but for them to have the whole Remember who you are kind of moment, and then work together to bust out.

On top of that we might not have everyone wanting to come out...plus the Avatars in the mix. Essentially the team is going to be seen as the baddies at some point as they have to destroy the Framework World. Ward, Trip, Hunter, and all the other Avatars don’t care its “not real” its real to them and won’t take kindly to someone wanting to ‘destroy’ it.

I won’t be surprised if said Dragon isn’t the head of Hydra or if the Hydra there has a proper super villain end/take over the world kind of plan.

I am half expecting to see AIDA as the head of Hydra watching over things. Much like she programmed herself into May’s early program.

I still think we need to have everyone...or at the very least the girls out of there by 19/20 because we still have to take down AIDA/The Superior and most likely the Daisy Fleet from going after the Inhumans who are in seek and destroy mode now.

Well that was fun! Been a bit since I had a proper meta like that and hope that we’re going to start getting more spoilers soon so I can really ramp up the theorizing!

Love Potion Extravaganza Ch. 10

Once again, a big kiss and thanks to @pizzansunshine for her help in editing and finishing this fic of monstrous proportions. Thank you @shasta627 for helping me pick out songs even though we had to exclude Math of Love Triangles and the Sireneas for the sake of the story. Maybe next time. Also thanks to @missnobodynobodius for her enthusiasm and love for all these Crazy Ex Gf songs and inspiring me to finally write a fic to combine these two loves. Lastly, thanks to @lostbutterflyutau for her continued comments and enthusiasm for the story even though I kept stabbing her heart.

The last three songs are “One Indescribable Instant Reprise” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XlEqPHOADMc

“The Magic Within You” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_3Kp8y02Abg

“A Real Life Happily Ever After” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uEiD2kpx5AA

Epilogue

Mateo paced uneasily outside his workshop. He knew he should have gone in and just do his usual magic practice and studying and probably clean it up. Naomi and Olivia admitted to leaving it a terrible mess when they had been making their own potion, but Mateo was just too distracted.

His head was still stuck on the magical hours he spent with Elena, in love with her and she feeling the same way. He knew now they had been under a love potion. That her actions while under its effect probably meant nothing to her. Like how she had suggested that they should be in a triple wedding with Manuel, Valentina, Gabe and Naomi. But to him, her actions still meant so much.

He got to bask in the glow of her smile. He knew now, what it was like to feel Elena love him. Her sweetness and affection directed only toward him. He knew how it felt to have her curled up in his arms. The feeling of elation at the thought of becoming her husband and spending the rest of his life with her. Now he knew it was it like.... His crush on her had become unbearable. He had taste of what it was like to be Elena’s boyfriend and he couldn’t let it go. Before he had no idea, he only had his imagination and at least that helped him keep some of his feelings under control.

But he now knew how wonderful it was. When they walked back to the palace, every time he looked at her, he felt tingles spread across his skin where her soft hands had touched him and hugged him and cuddled him. Her laugh sounded even more musical if possible. He wanted to return to the position of being right next to her. He couldn’t handle all these feelings. He had to admit to her that he had an actual crush on her. One that had started long before today. He knew it would be risky, laying out all his emotions out there for her to reject him. Kindly of course, since Elena was far too sweet to say he would never make a good boyfriend for her. But still...

He might even have to go back to living with his mother. Elena would undoubtedly feel uncomfortable to have him in the palace after he admitted his crush. It was just as well, it would be too painful to see her at all hours of the day. Like right now, his heart constricting painfully against the confines of his chest as he imagined breakfast mornings not at the palace table. Not seeing Elena’s sleepy look as she tried to wake up. She looked so adorable when she...

“Hey Mateo, are you going to go in or..?” Naomi broke into his thoughts. She and Gabe were staring questioningly at him and his frozen feet.

“Uh” Mateo froze and managed to stutter, “No-no. I can’t concentrate I’ll just join you.”

“Okay,” Gabe shrugged as the three of them walked down the hall. Mateo remained silent, his mind still wandering onto the subject of Elena. Gabe and Naomi, however, were at their easy joking banter, talking about everyone’s hilarious actions during the day. At the moment, Mateo envied how they could easily go back to their lives. Write this off as one weird, madcap adventure. They didn’t have any feelings to contend with.

Once everyone had been released from the potion, Gabe had immediately apologized to Elena for his proposal to date, explaining that his feelings were very much gone. This had been somewhat of a relief to Mateo, to know he was right that Gabe was not after Elena. Naomi had no issues to deal with since she had remained one of the only sane ones. She reveled in telling everyone the gory details of what other people had done and mocked them too. Her favorite target was Alonso after he recalled his very inappropriate overtures to her.

Alonso, for his part, didn’t seem too embarrassed. He claimed that not only did the spell make him fall in love but that it made him revert to his old ways. But he had no real answer for when Naomi questioned that did his old ways include falling in love with malvagos, instead he turned his head away muttering, “I thought she was a sexy stranger.”

Valentina and Manuel, whose time under the spell seemed to have sparked some genuine feelings, were also pretty happy in the aftermath. They had decided to go on a few dates to see how it goes and then they would deal with Valentina’s parents.

It was all a real happily ever after it looked like, for everyone but for him.

He was brought out of his gloomy spiel by Luisa coming over to take his hands, apologizing profusely, “I’m sorry, my dear boy for being so rude during breakfast. Love potion or not, I had no right to be so consumed with my husband to be rude to others and neglect your requests for help.”

“Even with a husband as handsome as me.” Francisco came up behind her with a hand on her shoulder.

“Even with a husband as handsome as you.” Luisa smiled up at him.

“Thanks, Luisa. You don’t have to apologize but thanks.” Mateo replied and they continued on down the opposite direction of the hall.

“Was the whole family under the love potion?” Gabe asked Naomi.

Naomi laughed, “Oh yes. Esteban with Doña, Isabel with..” She gasped and put a hand over her mouth like she said too much.

Gabe nudged her, “Isa and who?” “I wasn’t supposed to say she was under the potion.” Naomi winced at her own big mouth.

“It’s too late now, tell.” Mateo urged, getting a little curious as to who Isabel could have a crush on. Probably one of her school friends like Quique.

Naomi looked down at the ground, silent for a long while but she whispered guiltily, “Gabe.”

“Me?” Gabe asked then he seemed to consider it, “She had a crush on me?”

“Please don’t act like you know! I promised I wouldn’t tell anyone.” Naomi begged.

“No, I won’t. It was probably a silly crush.” Gabe shrugged it off, but Mateo noticed that his eyes still seemed to be thinking it all over.

The trio arrived outside of the Grand Council room where Manuel was standing guard with Rico. They was an awkward minute or two of silence as they all waited for their friends to come out, but it was thankfully broken when Valentina swung open the door with her usual exuberance.

“Thank you so much for hosting this Elena. This alliance will benefit our kingdoms for years to come!” She waved as Manuel linked arms with her. With a softer tone she turned to her guard, “Let’s go home, Manuel.”

The two walked off, whispering about how the meeting went and of other future things to come.

Alonso gave a half-hearted bow to Naomi, Gabe and Mateo before kissing Elena’s hand which she yanked away with a roll of her eyes at his wannabe casanova attitude, “Till we meet again.”

Before he sauntered off, he turned and pointed a finger-gun to Naomi, “Maybe we can have intercourse next time, blondie.”

“In your dreams!” Naomi yelled at his retreating back, accompanied with a choice finger.

“Elena, can I talk to you in private?” “Mateo, can I talk to you in private?”

They flushed and looked at the ground after they asked the exact same question in unison.

Gabe looked between the two, grabbed Naomi’s arm, and smoothly exited, “Come on, Nomes. Let’s go to my mom’s to get some nice freshly baked treats. See you guys tomorrow.”

Alone, Elena and Mateo walked silently down the hall that led to courtyard and the palace gardens, both lost in their own worlds.

Elena found that the trade alliance that she had been so eager to host, had been torture to sit through. It had occurred right after the love potion was lifted and all Elena wanted to do was sit down with Mateo and asked if being together felt as right to him as it did to her.

When they had been together under the love potion, it was almost like a piece that Elena hadn’t even knew that was missing from her life fell right into place. That piece was Mateo. Being with him made her feel, if she had to take a line from Valentina’s song, “totes invincible.” She felt that as long as she was secure in the knowledge that Mateo loved her and cared for her, that she could win over whatever came her way. At least she knew he would be there behind her with some nice cuddles and sweet words of comfort filled with the trust that she could do her duty.

Even without the potion she still felt that. On the carriage ride back to the palace she had decided that she had to tell him her feelings and what he meant to her. She knew it was unlikely he would feel the same way for her. He agreed to just impulsively marry her while he was under the spell. A sure sign that he was not acting his usual, more cautious self. But even though he could not offer romantic love, she still wanted assurance that he would always be there. Always be with a compassionate look, his warm arms that were just perfect hugging, always be a person that she could confide in. Always be one of her best friends.

“I KNOW YOU DON’T HAVE FEELINGS FOR ME!” An exasperated voice shouted from behind Esteban’s room, “It’s still impossible that you would feel absolutely nothing from what happened today! I am amazing! Women have fainted in my arms and asked me to be the father of their children after I merely kissed them. You had to enjoyed it. You cannot walk away without enjoying it on some level. I know you have a heart of ice but still no frozen heart can’t not be melted by Esteban Flores!”

Elena and Mateo curiously peaked behind the door. Esteban and Doña were once again nose to nose in an insult match, their eyes flashing with their usual blazing fury. Thankfully, both were fully dressed in their regular clothes.

“I told you. I. Felt. Nothing. You may have been a good kisser when you were young, but now you need a love potion to boost your skills..” Doña snapped back with a sneer.

“That wasn’t my fault. Besides, we both know you liked it.” Esteban growled.

“And so did you.” Doña glared.

“I was not the one who begged for more.” His voice took on a sing-song tone of superiority, “If I remember correctly that when we were in the kitchen you had some expletive statements about how you wanted more of me.” Esteban smirked.

The smirk soon faded from his lips when Doña’s taunted, “Not only have your kissing skills faded with age, but you’re- ”

Esteban interrupted her by pressing her against the wall in a passionate kiss, “Now?”

“Read my lips. Nothing!” Doña spat and he responded by kissing her again.

“Liar! I’m fantastic! Admit it!”

Mateo and Elena closed the door firmly behind them. Elena broke the silence, “I thought Naomi gave them the antidote?”

Mateo shrugged, “They are fighting again so..that’s a good sign, I guess?”

Elena chewed her lips before inching herself away from the door, “The-they can resolve their issues. We really don’t need to get involved.”

“Yeah that’s-that’s a great idea.” Mateo agreed. They looked at each other and burst out laughing. Whether it was from the nervousness for the conversation about to come or just the ridiculous scene they just witnessed it at least served to break the ice between them. They instinctively locked arms when they entered the garden. Elena led him to a small bench that Mateo had never seen before because it had been blocked by rose bushes.

They sat and lapsed into silence again, unsure of who should start the conversation. Mateo was thinking of how exactly he showed open when Elena blurted, “I like you!” Then with the same shocked gasp as Naomi, she covered her mouth, looking down at it as if it talked without consulting her brain.

Meanwhile Mateo’s brain seemed to have stopped because as he turned the phrase, “I like you” in his head, he couldn’t quite comprehend it. Did she meant as a friend? Was she trying to apologize for today? She had to be, the only other option was..

“I like you more than as a friend. I like you.. A lot. I know you don’t feel the same way but let me explain.” Elena said her voice trembling as she forced herself to look into Mateo’s eyes as she spoke. Mateo’s heart jumped up to his throat than to his stomach. It was doing the jumping he longed to do. She liked him! She liked him back! Never in his wildest dreams that Elena liked him. A part of him worried maybe this was the love potion talking but another part urged him to kiss her before she changed her mind. Yet when he looked at her, how vulnerable she seemed as she admitted her feelings, he knew the right thing to do was to give her the space she needed to talk.

“I don’t know when it started. Sometime after we first went to Vallestrella I think.” Elena was so absorbed in what she was trying to put in words she missed the smile that spread across Mateo’s face.

“You’re- you.” Elena took a deep inhale then exhaled, “You make me feel so many things, Mateo. I guess it would be love in an overall sense. But all these other emotions are built in too. I feel safe with you. I feel like you’re the only one I can trust with some of my worst fears and insecurities. But even better, you’re understanding. I know I can be sad and you will not see me as less of a queen. But but I also feel so happy when I’m with you too. We’ve had so many adventures together like when we transformed into jaquins together. That was so much fun. I love how you go with my crazy schemes even though they’re not always thought out. And that you give me really good advice. And I don’t only love how you make me feel but just you. I love you! You’re so compassionate and sweet and adorable. And the way you’re so passionate about magic, it’s admirable. You’re so brave but modest and you’re a really good teacher to Olivia and to me. And,” Elena took another deep breath. Her mind was spinning out of control, there were so many traits of Mateo she wanted to praise, but she knew if she continued rambling on it might scare him. She was here to tell him that she was still willing to be his friend even if he didn’t like her.

“I love you, Mateo. I know you may not love me back. But that is how you make me feel. I wanted to tell you that even though you don’t want to be my boyfriend, I still hope..if you are willing... Will you still be someone I can confide in? Can I still come to you when I need comfort? I know it might be awkward now but I still need you in my life as one of my best friends.”

Mateo looked into Elena’s eyes. Their large brown irises shined with an irrepressible emotions, emphasized by the spontaneous tears starting to pool at the corners. That passion that Elena put into everything she did, how she put her feelings into her every action. They were all directed at him...because of her love for him.

He put a finger under her chin and guided her toward him. They eyes connected for the briefest of seconds but it was enough for Elena to see his own eyes fill with love. He kissed her. Their lips fit together perfectly, soft and warm and sending a thousand small sparks up and down their bodies. When he pulled away, he swore his curls must have been standing straight up from the electricity between them.

“I love you too, Elena.” He admitted breathlessly, an inappropriate nervous laugh burbled up his throat, but he swallowed it down.

“I’ve loved you before this day. Before Vallestrella even but I don’t think I even really knew it at the time. What I did know was that I wanted to always make you the happiest girl in Avalor and to help you as you grow to be queen and a master wielding your scepter. I don’t know when my feelings really came but that doesn’t matter. I still want to make you happy. You make me happy all the time. You gave me confidence and courage to do things I never thought I could do. But you don’t only do that for me but to everyone you meet. You are a shining light to the kingdom. But that’s not the only reason I love you. Your endless enthusiasm is contagious, your laugh is as musical as your voice. I feel like they’re aren’t enough adjectives to describe how I feel. I.. I love you. I feel so..honored honestly that you love me too.”

Elena threw her arms around him, “You don’t have to be honored. I’m honored that you love me, my brave, handsome wizard.” Mateo blushed at her “handsome” comment which made Elena smile. He was so cute!

“I guess we’ve been hiding our feelings for each other this whole time.” Mateo said, relaxing as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Well to be fair, we can’t pinpoint when we first realized we had feelings much less when we first had feelings.” Elena pointed out.

Mateo laughed, “It’s like that song we sang. “In one indescribable instant, the whole world falls away. In one indescribable instant, you’ll know just what to say.”

Elena joined, her nightingale-like voice blending melodiously with his strong alto, “In one indescribable instant, your heart will speak the truth! For in that one indescribable, magical, mystical, endless, incredible instant..”

“The only words you need are “I love you.” Mateo finished softly and kissed her again.

In his opinion this kiss was almost as good as their first one. The smell of roses filled the air and left Mateo feeling breathless. His heart still clenched in excitement, he still felt like he was floating on air, he still felt the comforting embrace of Elena and he could hear the beating of their hearts as one.

But it was better because this was genuine. This was going to last.

“Should we tell everyone the good news? Elena asked, making no move to get up from her comfortable position snuggled against Mateo’s chest.

“Tomorrow.” Mateo suggested as the sun started it’s daily dip toward the ocean. “I’m done with dealing with excitement for today.”

“Me too.” Elena rubbed her head in the crook of her neck prompting Mateo to kiss her temple like he had seen Francisco do to Luisa this morning.

They stayed like that for a while, watching the sunset when Elena jumped up and gave a playful bow, “Shall we dance?”

“I’d be delighted.” Mateo answered and spun her around into his arms. Elena gave him a knowing smile as she hummed familiar tune for them to dance to.

She gave him a wink when she saw the look of recognition on his face. “Remember your first royal wizard coronation?”

“Yes, that’s when I first really believed in myself. Because of you.” Mateo answered and Elena began to sing the song that inspired him to fight Fiero for Avalor and for Elena.

He would like to think of it as “their” song.

“The first time that I met you I could see

You were meant to be a hero to us all

Taking on the forces of the dark with your magic spark

And always standing tall.”

Mateo joined in, the words coming to him as if that moment had been yesterday instead of three years ago. “You're starting down a path to find your destiny

So now is not the time to hide.

You have to raise your scepter and do your best for me

Because I need you by my side.”

Mateo and Elena swayed side by side. Every little touch raised goosebumps but the warm contact prevented them feeling the cold night air. “'Cuz there's a lesson you will not find in a book. Inside yourself is where you have to look.

Find your courage and your pride, inner strength can be your guide

And it will always see you through

If you believe the magic within you.”

Mateo absentmindedly stroked her back as they danced which made Elena want to pull Mateo into another kiss. She felt like she was in a dream. A fairytale dream with a real-life amazing boy that she loved with her whole heart.

“But! If! No wait! I can't! These words will hold you down

Instead just say I can! Those words will turn things around

Cast all your doubts away tell all your fears goodbye

Do what you're meant to do and let your magic fly!”

They stopped dancing, taking a pause to have a sweet kiss that made Elena’s toes curl and Mateo shudder with anticipation when Elena peppered kissing on his nose, chin and cheeks before settling on his lips again. “'Cuz there's a lesson you will not find in a book

Inside yourself is where you have to look.

Find your courage and your pride inner strength will be your guide

And it will always see you through

If you believe the magic within you.”

They did one final spin as Elena’s beautiful notes faded in the night, “You must believe in the magic within you.”

Without a word, they retraced their steps back to the palace, giving each other sly smiles all the while. They took the long way back to the library in order to avoid any family members or servants that had decided to stay up late.

“You know. I feel like a cliche princess.” Elena commented when they walked back inside the palace. “I have a handsome lover, my kingdom, Shuriki’s gone. The Delgados are defeated for now. Everything at peace.”

“Do you not like it? Do you want some more adventure? Because I think we can get into some trouble tomorrow.” Mateo teased, bravely taking her hand once they entered the empty library with the secret passage to his workshop.

Elena shook her head and played with his fingers as he opened the entrance, singing softly as to not attract any attention, “I’ve been riding toward—

A real-life happily ever after.

I’m done with all the intrigue.

Sick of kicking ass.

As far as seeking vengeance

Frankly, I can pass.

I’m ready now for something

Of a diff ’rent class—

A real-life happily ever after.”

Mateo turned to look into her eyes once more as they sang so the only people who would know their lovely secret were them, “Screw the potions and malvagos and jaquins

All the magic I need is you.

Journey done, we’re home

As epic endings go,

It’s rather small...

But it’s a real-life happily ever after

After all.”

Mateo cupped her cheeks and Elena placed her hands over his, “I love you, ‘Lena.” “I love you, Mateo.”

And they kissed once more, hearts filled with love and joy in their mutual affection.

As they pulled away, Mateo opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something and abruptly closed it then opened it again.

Elena giggled, “What is it, mí querido”

Mateo sighed, feeling his sudden nervousness fall away at the sound of Elena’s new nickname for him, “I don’t really feel that tired so I’m going to whip up some potions. I was wondering, uh, want to join me?

Elena leaned close so they were touching nose to nose, “I’d love to.”
