Goosebumps Books 1-10

Can't believe that it took me nearly two years to just do 10 covers for the books. Will be posting more Goosebumps in the future, along with other stuff.

Read more to know my personal opinions and critiques on my fanart for each book:

Welcome to Dead House: I wanted to make the house look alive like Monster House, so I gave it more human characteristics (ie: the people in the windows to form eyes, or the finger-like branches.) Also paid homage to a horror film by styling it after The Amityville Horror house.

The Benson children themselves look a bit depressed, that's because the first book is actually more scarier than the rest of the series, so they're a bit angsty.

Stay Out of the Basement: This one killed a lot of my green markers lol. I tried to make Dr. Brewer as menacing as possible while still showing that he is a father with the photos, There were going to be more plants reaching out, but I decided that the leaves hidden on him would be enough.

Though I have to admit my disappointment with the lighting. It still looks a bit too bright, and not dark enough. That's just my own critique.

Monster Blood: Honestly, pretty mixed about this one. While I'm proud of the bubbling ooze that looks like a skull, which is outlined by one of my colored pens. I'm not proud that everything else is so muted with brown. Almost all of Jacobus' works are vibrant and saturated, so it being dull in colors feels like a disservice to him.

Also, Andy's last name was made up by me, she apparently just doesn't have one. It's inspired by Stephen King. Btw, hope you love banana and strawberry dyed hair, you'll see more of it soon in future batches.

Say Cheese and Die!: One of my favorite books, and of course it gets the best fanart imo. The screaming skeleton form of Greg Banks with red bg in the polaroid, contrasting with the dark background is just super cool, coolest shit I've ever done. Though I might be biased, I really like skeletons. Like Curly.

I actually made concept art for a Say Cheese and Die! graphic novel, which includes drawings of the photos and Spidey! Let me know if you're curious.

The Curse of The Mummy's Tomb: Not much to this one honestly. Just a mummy casually busting down a wall filled with hieroglyphics. Though I will say, I was experimenting with shading with purple and blues like Jacobus. As you can see, didn't stick for long.

This is also the book that I discovered that if the protag doesn't have a last name, then there is an official one either in the Presents novels, the mobile app, comics or other.

Let's Get Invisible!: This was pretty tricky to draw. Drawing someone turning invisible maybe easy in Photoshop or Procreate, but this was traditional art. Sure Jacobus did it with airbrushes, but I all had were pens and markers. But I somehow managed to pull it off, which is insane that I even managed that in the first place.

Night of the Living Dummy: Ah, the infamous Pamela Vorhees book, where the main antagonist isn't the mascot, but instead some other puppet lol. I've seen a lot of fanart of Slappy, but never of Mr. Wood. So I wanted to do justice for Wood while still showcasing Slappy. While I am proud for how it mostly turned out, there are two things that bother me. 1. This is the night sky that is black, the rest are either blue or purple. 2. I forgot to add the lines that make the jaw on Mr. Wood, whoops.

Aside from that, I hope guys like that Misfits poster in the background and Kris's cool hair cut. The green was inspired by the comic adaption not 2015 Jacksepticeye.

The Girl Who Cried Monster: Please forgive me for the small thumbnail, I wasn't using a ruler at the time. The design for Mr. Mortman wasn't much of a challenge. I loosely based it off of the French rendition of the cover and gave him a large leech-like mouth.

In my headcannon, the teeth spin like a garbage disposal, making easy work of the turtles.

Welcome to Camp Nightmare: Another one of my favorites, and I think I did a decent enough job, too. The lighting is perfect, the clouds look alien enough, and you can just barely see the screaming campers inside the tent. I do have one issue though, and that is the size of the monster, Sabre. In the original sketch I did, he was supposed to blend in like a bush, but instead he looks like Sasquatch Sr. Oh well.

While they did give Billy a last name in the Presents books, I had to make up one for Dawn. Just based it off Gwen Stacy lol. Also, hope you enjoy the little bonus pictures down below.

The Ghost Next Door: The original Jacobus art was perfectly vague enough to keep the twist there but not spoil anything. Of course to do the same thing, but with a twist of my own. The "ghost" shadow that you see in the street is the Dark Figure that follows Hannah around or when Danny is near. I wanted it to look like it was constantly on fire, since SPOILERS: someone in the book does die in a fire.

Another headcannon is that the Dark Figure isn't actually a ghost or whatever, but instead the embodiment of Misery.

Mansion by The Sea Drabble

You're a simple maid. You've been here for almost a year at this point, and you've learned by now to not ask questions and do as you are told-- no matter how odd any sights or sounds or smells are. You know it is best to not question why the young master spends his nights deep down in the bowels of the estate. Ignore the ethereal and somber singing that comes from outside. Take no heed to the faint smell of something metallic as you pass by the halls. After all, your job is to keep the estate tidy and clean-- not ask questions. So, you busy yourself with dusting the portraits, sweeping the floors and switching out the bed linens. You can't help but feel like some of the paintings' eyes watch you, judge you, scrutinize every iota of your very being; take offense at your mere presence. The home makes eerie noises; some of them sound make it seem as though it is alive. Each shudder, moan, squeak, and groan almost sound like the cries of a dying man. However, that can easily be chalked up to its age. It is an old property after all. With an especially stubborn stain of red on the stone floor, you let out a small noise of annoyance and scrub harder. The question of what exactly going on still seeps into your mind like a slow-acting poison. It seems like they become more common as a full moon approaches, and you have to work twice-- if not, thrice-- as hard. Your footsteps echo out in the lonesome halls, and it seems as if you are the only person in existence here. Even with the other servants, they seem more like the shadow of ghosts than actual people formed of flesh and blood. You wonder if they too have long since forgotten to question what is going on, or if they know and thus decide to not divulge any details. But, you shake the concept out of your mind. After all, your job is to keep the estate clean and tidy-- not ask questions. As you carry on with your day and humming to yourself as you wipe down a mirror, you try to not let your eye wander too long on the young master passing by. Though it is rather difficult, as he carries himself with an unearthly air to him that matches his beauty. It is pale and serene as a full moon: white hair that drifts and shimmers with each move he makes, colorless skin as luminescent as moonlight, and eyes a brilliant green-blue like crystalline ocean waters. Sometimes as you work, you look up through your lashes to watch him for a bit before resuming the task at hand. Watching how his slender and long fingers wrap around the crystal doorknob and pull it open, drifting into the next room without so much as a whisper of rustling clothes. But yet, you couldn't shake the feeling of his eyes lingering on you from afar. Every muscle in your body locks up with dread; a cold sweat crawls down the back of your neck like a spider. You swallow the lump that formed in your throat and ask if he needs something from you. Instead, he slowly shakes his head while a gentle smile forms on his soft lips. "No, I just thought you looked rather lovely today." You let out an awkward chuckle. "Oh, alright then..." And an awkward silence follows as you quickly scurry to your next task. As you briskly down the sunlit halls, you notice something glimmer. Stopping in your tracks, you bent down and picked it up. Shining like a thin pearl is a white fish scale.

Thinking about Tsukishima, and how having severe photophobia means he has to wear those stupid photochromic lenses everywhere, at all times. He can only keep his eyes open halfway in a lit room, let alone in wake of the sunrise, or the daylight, or the sunset.

Thinking about Tsukishima, and how having severe photophobia and being stuck wearing photochromic lenses means that his body has doomed him to a lifetime of muted sunrises, smothered daylight, and greying sunsets. It's almost as if he has been perpetually asleep since he was born, his waking world masked in darkness at the hands of a smoggy polariser.

Thinking about Tsukishima meeting you for the first time, when the forgotton flashlight of your phone goes unnoticed by everyone in the classroom except him. The photochromic lenses don't react quickly enough when it spins towards his direction, unbeknownst to you, and he cries out in pain, to the shock of everyone in the classroom. He isn't one to speak, and is definitely not one to cry out. He screams at you to turn it off, and you're just about to shit yourself terrified, scrambling for the button to disable it. From that day onwards, you keep the flashlight on your phone disabled at all times.

Thinking about Tsukishima, who thinks you're an idiot after the accident, and vows to stay as far away from you as possible. Until every teacher suddenly wants to put the two of you in pairs. You're competent enough with your skills, at the very least you don't slow him down. He hates to admit it, but for someone who can't notice their phone flashlight, you are pretty fucking good at doing perfectly precise titrations, and really fucking good at catching his mathematical errors when he proudly presents the calculated concentration from the titration trials.

Thinking about Tsukishima, who tells you he hates the sun in physics one time, and dogs on you for preferring day to night. His arguments are valid, photophobia, after all. He says that he indulges in the moon more, that the sun is too bright for his fragile eyes to exist in. You have to remind him how the moon is simply just a reflection of the sun anyways, and he scoffs. You continue to remind him that sunlight encompasses every colour on earth, and that it bounces off waters, still and rough alike, in shimmering diamonds. You marvel at how it diffuses into every shade of red, orange, and blue at sunrise, how it bends into green in a backdrop of gold and pink if you look hard enough at the sun as it retreats beneath the horizon during sunset. A jarring, mocking reminder of all the phenomenons that he will never have the privilege of seeing with his naked eyes.

Thinking about Tsukishima at senior camp, unable to fall asleep on the cold, hard ground of his tent. 3ºC at 4:30am is killer temperature, and he decides that it is time to give up on slumber for the night. He walks out to see you jump awake at your alarm in a camping chair, set up right next to his own outside the tent. He takes a seat beside you, rubbing his eyes before placing his glasses on again. He asks you why you are doing this to yourself, when it is 3ºC in the middle of nowhere at 4:30am. You tell him the sunrise is about to start, and that his spot had the optimal view to it. He is about to return to his tent, when you stop him, and convince him to stay. He has never tried looking at a sunrise, and he expects nothing from it. After all, the photochromic lenses will drown out all the colours you speak of, and mute them into monochromatic grey anyways. Yet as the sun climbs above the treeline and the silhouettes of the mountains afar, his eyes bask in the muted blues and oranges, almost grey, but not quite yet. They may not be as vibrant as you make them out to be, but they are incredible nonetheless.

Thinking about Tsukishima, whose eyes are actually amber beneath his glasses, a commonly mistaken fact only because the sterile white lights of the school forces the polarisers in his lenses to darken. Everyone agrees that his eyes are dark brown, yet when he enters your exclusively lamplit room for the first time one afternoon, your joint science fair project balanced on a soldering machine and a stack of textbooks, his polarisers lighten. And as you watch him solder wires together to form circuits, eyes trained onto the hot iron in his hand, you notice it for the first time. Even in the lack of sunlight thanks to the blackout blinds, and amidst the ambient greens, blues, and purples of your lamps, his eyes are closer to the sun than they ever will be brown.

Thinking about Tsukishima, who after a year of being lab partners, and science fair teammates, and unlikely friends with you, cries when you show him your camera after the school's graduation dinner. You reveal hundreds of photos, taken with just the right aperture and ISO as to not hurt his eyes, all of the sunrises and sunsets you have encountered since learning of his photophobia. For the first time in his life, as he sits cross legged on your bed, he can see the pinks and reds that everyone fawns over, the golds, and blues, and oranges that you forced yourself awake to see at 4:30am on a 3ºC morning. He can see them all while his eyes remain amber, without the polarisers in his glasses firing on, without the smoggy grey filter he has become so accustomed to.

Thinking about Tsukishima, who doesn't even know how to thank you as you roll through the albums, and can only stare as you talk through the stories of each sunrise, and each sunset. You were the lab partner, science fair teammate, unlikely friend. You were all of that, now turned into the striking, yet painless daylight that infiltrates his eyes, and seeps through his body. It courses through his veins and arteries, pumping into his heart erratically as his arms pull you towards him, wrapping around your torso as golden sunlight spills from his amber (not dark brown) eyes, and he finally awakens from his eighteen-year slumber. The two of you sit in silence as you set down the camera, hands travelling up to wrap around his neck and hold the back of his head as he shrinks into your shoulder and weeps.

After all, the moon cannot exist without his sun.

sachiro.hirugami x f!reader

cw; make out session,

"Oh c'mon! We already paid plus we'll go by groups!"

You refuse to let go on grabbing a tight hold on the railings of your school while your friends are doing the best they can, to get you off

"I rather jump down than go inside!"

It's your school's festival and your annoying friends manage to trick you on accompanying them to the second floor, where the class activities are happening. Your class decided to do a photobooth for the activity, not that much people are visiting so your class was place at the third floor.

The class that chose to do activities that got a lot of people visiting were place on second floor. For examples, cafe theme, horror booth and many more.

"You guys know I'm bad at any horror related!"

"We'll go hand in hand!"

"Nah-uh! You guys also said that last year but I was left inside."

Well, it was more likely of you running away from them since you got so scared that you let go of their hand.

"Hey guys! We all can hear you downstairs, what's up?"

"Umi-kun!"

Your friends let go of you and you sigh in relief and fixes your uniform.

"Honeybunch!"

You mentally gag and glared at your boyfriend, Sachiro, he knows how much you hate being called that but he loves to see your annoyed face.

"Oh hello sugarplum."

You smirk seeing his twisted look, if he knows what to tease you. You also know how to tease him back, two can play that game.

"Hirugami-san can you please, please, please drag your beautiful girlfriend inside the horror booth? We don't wanna waste our money y'know!"

"Hmmm horror booth huh.."

Sachiro looks at your way and you gulp seeing that nasty smirk he has on his face, before you can even run away he already have a tight grip on your hands and drag you. Hell, you can't even get yourself free from him.

"You can pay right after you get out!"

You heard the student who's assign on the entrance then you saw your friends laughing along with Korai and Gao, you wish they'll slip on to something once they are inside.

The inside is reaaaaally cold if you must say plus it's pitch black on the entrance, there's a faint light of red, green and blue. Plus, the eerie sounds they are playing. You found yourself sticking to your boyfriend's body like a leech.

"It's okay baby, I'm here."

If he said that in a normal setting where his just reading one of your mangas on your room then maybe, maybe you'll be feeling butterflies from your stomach.

"Walk faster, Hiro!"

"I am? Relax, I-"

You froze when you felt something cold touch your feet, you slowly look down and your eyes met with a bloodshot eyes and a gaping mouth of a 'ghost'

"AAAAAAHAUWOOWSNSHSUSBS!"

You scream and push him away as you ran off. Sachiro was left there standing dumbfounded, he look down and saw what scared his girlfriend and smiled. He even crouch down and pat them on the head before running after you. He couldn't care less to the people who pops out from the sides.

When he got out, he paid for his own fee and tried to look for you but you are no way in sight. Soon after Korai, Gao and together with your friends came out looking all spook out but they are only laughing.

"Guys! Did you see her inside?" Sachiro ask

"No? I thought you guys were together?"

Korai said and Sachiro felt nervous as much he wants to tease you, the thought of you crying alone makes him feel bad.

"Can I go back in? My girlfriend hasn't come out yet."

The shopkeeper nodded but just when he was about to enter, he bump into someone. Sachiro was about to say sorry when the person he bump into hug him.

"Don't leave me..."

It was you. His girlfriend, he sighs in relief and hugs you back. Kissing the crown of your head, he can feel the trembling of your body and he just hugs you tighter.

"Hey hey it's okay.."

He guided you on the side and wipe your cheeks with your tears, you pouted and cried more making Sachiro chuckle and kiss on the cheeks.

"Bubs u okay? We're sorry..."

Your friends approach you and you just nodded. When you ran off, you were fast to find the exit but someone appeared making you turn to your right and you ended up getting lost. It was like a maze inside.

"Is fine.. but don't you ever, EVER drag me there again."

You huff and cross your arms, your friends chuckles and promise they won't do it again.

"Guys we'll go on a date. See ya!"

Sachiro held your hand and drag you away from the group, he didn't even let you say your goodbyes to them.

"Hey! This is your second time dragging me away."

"Sorry"

He didn't look back at you but his hand squeeze yours and you just let him be, you found yourself standing inside a empty room. You were about to ask him what is going on, he hug you, tight.

"Can I kiss you? I'm dying to kiss you."

"What? You drag me all the way here for that?"

He pulled away but his hands are still on your waist, his light brown eyes staring right at you.

"F-Fine.. I mean, okay. You can ki- mmff!"

Your back being press against the wall while his hands travels up and down, his tongue licking at your lips begging for an entrance. The moment you part your lips, he lets out a moan that made your legs wobble.

Normally, Sachiro doesn't act this way, his usually on his tame side everyday. You just don't know on why he is aggressive today.

"Sorry.. it's just you were so cute when you were crying.."

He said when he pulled away for a bit and before you can even answer him, his kissing you again. Your moans and his mixes together, your fingers tangling on his hair, pressing your body towards him.

"Wait- fuck.."

He pulled away and finally, you got a chance to breathe. He went to the nearest table and sat on it, his legs spread out. He held his hand towards you which you gladly took and now you're trap between his legs and resume your make-out session.

Sachiro admitted later that maybe, maybe not he got turn on seeing you on that vulnerable state and how cute you were crying. You told him that you'd rather hide when you cry than to face his less tame side.

••���•••••••

bonus part.☆

"Wanna go in?"

You immediately shook your head and tried to drag away your husband, away from the horror booth you guys stumbled upon inside the mall

"Sugarplum please! You wouldn't want your honeybunch to suffer right?"

His brow twitches on the choice of endearment you use, you swear to god that you saw how his lips form into a nasty smirk. Intertwining his fingers to yours, he successfully drag you inside the booth.

Needless to say, you got fuck dumb by him later at night. Is what you get for pissing him off by using those cringey words and crying when you guys got out from the booth.

PUPPY BOY! AU HEADCANONS PART.2

Part 1

Tagging the babes: @shonen-brainrot @dabislittlemouse @angelshimaa and @shionancientsblog

Remember I'm still working on this AU so feedback is appreciated

Deku + Maltipoo

• Maltipoo is a hybrid breed resulting from the mix of a Maltese and a Poodle. And who was born quirkless but got a Quirk transferred? Deku! Which to some extent makes him a hybrid too. Both are highly intelligent and friendly breeds, which suits Izuku very well!

• Izuku radiates Crusty white dog energy, there's no way to deny it, and this breed is part of that group. He has a sweet, caring and friendly personality, but he is also VERY emotional. Cries a lot, he can't help it. Maltipoos also have very fluffy fur, which matches Izuku's green hair.

• This puppy boy was practically protected and pampered by his mom; Inko always brushed his fur after baths! However, just like any other Maltipoo, Izuku adapts easily to any environment and challenge. He also has quite the intelligence and memory, making him the perfect puppy boy for almost any task. Appropriate, considering Izuku is progressively learning to control all his powers and molding himself to the needs of his missions.

• Did I mention Maltipoo puppies befriend practically anyone? *ehem* Just like Izuku befriended [insert list of pretty much any student at U. A]

• Oh, you want to put a doggie collar around his neck? Go ahead! Even when the skin of his cheeks and ears get all red with embarrassment, he loves it. Push a little further, and you'll even be able to hear him whine for attention.

• Needy, so, so needy. Pet his ears and he'll be melting! Play with his hair and he'll fall asleep on your lap.

“Are we gonna hang out today?” Izuku asked, tail wagging effusively at the promise of an evening by your side. You smiled apologetically, excusing yourself. “Sorry, Izu, today I have some work left to do. Maybe another day?”

The puppy in front of you pouted, begging with a pleading face. “Please, please, please! I- I brought my favorite All Might DVD,” Izuku said, his hands gently tugging your shirt. Sighing, you gave up; how were you supposed to win against someone that could quite literally pull puppy eyes on you? “Maybe we can binge-watch it while I work.”

Izuku's lips stretched in content, yapping a sweet “Thank you!” as he walked by your side. “We can lay on the couch, and I'll make sure to recap everything you missed while you weren't paying attention!”

Todoroki + Siberian husky

• I had some trouble deciding which of these breeds fitted Shoto more. On one hand, he could be a Doberman like Dabi, after all, they come from the same dad (like it or not). Enji would've cut his ears and tail too to make him more imposing, and dominant-looking (trying to mold him to his image), leading to Rei burning his face and, well, Todoroki trauma. On the other hand, Siberian huskies already have plenty of traits in common with Shoto.

• Siberian huskies have a stern and serious aura around them, specially at first glance. Their deep gaze and icy blue/light gray eyes manage to allure anyone, not to mention is one of the breeds that has more common cases of heterochromia. We all know how Shoto debuted as a “I'm not here to make friends” character but, in the end– just like this breed –Shoto proves to be friendly and silly with the right people.

• He has very soft big furry ears, and a fluffy tail curled upwards; the fur is white and brown/reddish and matches his hair almost too perfectly. Shoto also has massive canines that he tends to bare when he is truly pissed off or stressed.

• Like many huskies, he is smart and has a lot of stamina. You need to keep this particular puppy mentally/physically stimulated by either showing him new tricks (e.g. Simple science experiments or DIY tutorials) or burning that energy (e.g. Teach him how to play Just dance!)

• Sheds, a lot. Help him brush his fur because otherwise you'll be dealing with random dog hairs in your room. Oh, he also has trouble communicating in general! Which is funny considering how Huskies don't bark like normal dogs, they kind of howl and cry.

• Shoto is a very odd puppy, but a great listener if you ever need to talk.

“And you're supposed to put your left hand on a red circle. Like this!” You said, bending and twisting into a rather uncomfortable position over the Twister mat. Shoto had been aching to play with you for a while, begging - in his odd way (which was standing in front of your bed until you noticed him) — to learn. “I see, so the cardboard thing dictates which limb you move and where you put it.” He said, kneeling to your level as you plopped on the mat.

“Yes, exactly! The last one standing is the winner,” Shoto heard you add, nodding at tour words with seriousness. “Just make sure to keep your tail tucked, we don't want another sneezing accident…"

Shoto unconsciously whined, dropping his ears like a scolded puppy. “Sorry, I didn't mean to make everyone fall with my fur.” The first time he had tried to play, his tail and ears tickled everyone's nose, making the complex knot everyone was tangled in collapse. “It's OK, Sho, it happens.” You smiled sympathetically.

Shigaraki + Rottweiler

• It was suggested that Shiggy could be a Corgi by the lovely @shionancientsblog , and while it would be a cute idea (specially when he had one as a kid), I think Shigaraki's evolution as a person makes him fall under the category of a “problematic breed”. Rotties are great family dogs in the right environment, they are friendly, caring, and playful; sadly, we all know this puppy boy didn't have a good family. Shiggy was neglected and abused as a baby, and he eventually bit the hand that was supposed to take care of him! So, like many dogs when they bite, he was cast away and tagged as a danger. A kind puppy turned into a crazed dog by the hand of the wrong handlers.

• He has short floppy ears with black fur, matching his original hair color. The tail is black as well, but it was cut by his father to “avoid accidents”. Shiggy's fur, however, changed in color the same way his hair did.

• Wears a spiked collar, a gift granted by A.F.O to avoid using his quirk on the skin of his neck. He doesn't like it, but knows it's for the best.

• Rottweilers are also known for acting on impulse and being childish (borderline being messy or confused as aggressive) when they have no guidance. Shiggy had the same behavior when he first started his villain life, but with the right training, he learned to focus his energy on a specific target. Trained to bite on command.

• When he gets involved with you, however, you slowly but surely start filling that emotional void he had. It took a lot of trial and error, specially when he growled at you with those large canines of his, but patience turned out to be enough to ease him.

• Much like Dabi, Shiggy grants you scary dog privileges, but he is less controlled about it and will target anyone who may be “trying to take away his owner”. He won't call you owner, by the way, but in his heart you are part of the very reduced group he likes and follows.

“I don't like the way he is looking at you!” Shigaraki growled, unconsciously trying to hide you from Dabi's gaze. The latter had been sending you cocky smirks here and there, pissing Shiggy off. “Calm down, he isn't doing anything,” you assured him, allowing your hand to pat his head. The frown on Tomura's face softened, but he still didn't like the idea of another person laying eyes on you. “What, you like him better?”

You knew that the child inside him was speaking, so you indulged. “No, Shiggy is my favorite.” Tomura heard you say, feeling the warmth of your lips on his cheek. “W-what was that?!" He yelped, “Are you trying to embarrass me?” You shook your head. “Just making sure you know how much I like you”.

Pierre Gasly / Max Verstappen

Title: I'm all yours, i've got no control

Pairing: Pierre Gasly / Max Verstappen

Characters: Pierre Gasly, Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, George Russell, Carlos Sainz, Lewis Hamilton

Prompt: Gasly-Max, fighting for world championship is create so much pressure and to Max the best way is to deal with is fucking other drivers

The best way to deal with pressure of winning world championships? Sex. It's the races that he can't control that get to him the most. His car blowing up on him is not ideal. He kicks what's left of his car in frustration and thinks of potential fucks.  

George? He's been a good fuck in the past, very pliant and happy to do anything but George crashed today and he went there after Singapore and George had just cried all over his cock. He doesn't want to comfort someone, he wants to fuck them.

Charles? Another good previous fuck, but Charles has been on the podium today and he's the type of person who can't contain his own excitement and he's not in the mood for Charles' bragging right now.

Lewis would just say no, as would Carlos, Checo and Fernando Alonso. Then it hits him Gasly. He's not been with the Frenchman for a long time, not since he was demoted from Red bull, but it had always been good fun.

"Gasly." He finds Pierre in the lobby of the hotel. "Max?" Pierre turns around a smile on his face. Max has never noticed before, but he's beautiful. "Did you want something?" Max realises his been staring at him for too long.

 "Remember in 2019 when you would sub for me when things weren't going well? Do you still do that?" A flicker of something flashes on Pierre's face, something Max can't read but he quickly changes it back to a smile.

"Well I was going to celebrate with Charles and I don't really bottom any more but I guess I can make a one off exception for you." Max is bouncing on the soles of his feet in delight as he leads Pierre back to his hotel room.

"Are we just going to get into it?" Pierre shrugs his Alpine jacket off and lays it over the arm of the chair. "Yes, does the traffic light system still work for you?" Pierre shrugs. "That works for me."

Max decides it's time just to get fucking on with it, Pierre yelps being taken completely by surprise, he's rugby tackled onto the bed, hands pinned either side of his head. "What's your colour on this?" Max asks, his hand sneaking down Pierre's chest, pushing up his team shirt and squeezes his nipple. "Green."  

"Do you still love it Pierre? Being tied to the bed and coming on my cock alone?" Max dips his head down and bites Pierre's right nipple, he Frenchman hisses underneath. "Whatever you want, sir."  sir, fuck he wasn't expecting that.

"Good thing I came prepared to deal with sluts." Max always comes prepared for his kinky fantasies and takes out two pair of hand cuffs from the draw in the night stand. "Do you always travel to race weekends with handcuffs sir." Max bites his lip to stop himself smiling. "I do, actually."

Max locks the first pair around Pierre's right wrist and attaches it to the bed. "Colour?" Pierre's eyes darken with lust the blue completely disappearing and turning black "Green, sir." Max nods approvingly and repeats the action with the left wrist.

"You look very comfortable for someone who says he isn't a bottom anymore." Pierre shrugs, the best he can anyway. "Maybe, I like the fact you can do anything you want to me sir and i'm helpless." Fuck, Max almost comes in his pants.

Pierre pulls lightly on his restraints just to test them but is cut off when Max lightly smacks his thigh. "Stop that or ill spank you."Sorry Daddy." Pierre whispers. Fucking Pierre, knows exactly what he's doing, driving Max bloody insane that is.

Max decides to ignore the daddy comment, not giving Pierre the satisfaction, instead he takes out a bottle of lube and a condom. Max drizzles the lube over his fingers and pushes up Pierre's hips, until they are pressed up against his own chest. "Daddy..." Pierre whines, like the little brat that he is but Max catches him off guard and pushes a single digit inside, twisting his finger, Pierre accepts the first finger easily, pretty suspicious for someone who is a top but Max doesn't comment on it and, adds  a second finger.

Max takes a long time opening Pierre up just to piss of the other man. "Daddy please, I need your cock." Max ignores him completely and strokes over his prostate, drawing groans from the older  man. "Daddy." Pierre whines even more, bucking his hips up into thin air, trying to get any type friction. Max only takes pity on him when the bulge in his own jeans becomes too hard to handle.

Pierre watches, his mouth watering as Max pulls down his pants and boxers together, freeing his massive cock. Max takes himself into his own hand and gives himself a few strokes, forcing himself to stop and quickly rolls on the condom. "Colour, Pierre?"

"Green." That's all consent Max needs, he nudges the head of his cock against Pierre's lube slick entrance  and slams inside with one hard thrust. Pierre growls and digs his fingers into the metal of the cuffs. "Love it when you fill me up with your cock." Max has to use every inch of his will power to hold back from fucking Pierre senselessly. "daddy, please." Pierre whines and tries to push his hips up and down,  however Max has his hips in a tight grip, not letting the Frenchman move at all.

"Such a naughty slut, begging for me like that." Max, just can't take teasing Pierre anymore, his own cock is crying for attention buried inside of Pierre. Max pulls all the way out, only to slam back inside of him this time, picking up a rough, deep pace, slamming inside Pierre with a mighty force. Pierre makes the cutest noises when he's been fucked hard, each little sound only turns Max on even more. Max finds Pierre's prostate petty quickly  and angles each of his thrusts to hit the swollen gland, pulling even more noises from Pierre's throat.

"I need to come, fuck." Pierre arches his hips up off the bed, Max quickly puts a stop to it and grips his hand tightly around the base of Robert's cock. "Bad little sluts have to wait until Daddy comes first." He can't believe he's using Pierre's embarrassing words, but he's way too gone to give a shit.

Max  pounds into Pierre with all his might as he feels his orgasm building into the pit of his stomach, it only takes three more thrusts and he's coming inside of the condom. Max pulls out and rolls off the condom, making Pierre whine in frustration. "Daddy?"

"Do you think you deserve to come? Sweet little Pierre." Max  asks as he starts teasing Pierre's cock, dragging his hand up and down the pulsating member really slowly. "Please daddy, i've been a really good boy" Max starts to stroke the hard cock a little quicker. "Ok baby, come for daddy." That's all Pierre needs to hear and he's coming hard, shooting his load high into the air and splattering all over his own chest. "Good boy, daddy's good boy."

Max cringes as he reaches over and releases Pierre's hands from the handcuffs. "Can't believe you have a daddy kink." Pierre giggles. "I don't, I just knew I could get you to play along."

Somehow, despite Pierre being the one locked up, it feels like Max was never really in control at all but it's made him feel a hell of a lot better.

They only have a little bit of light brown, almost light red hair on their little heads. She gives them their first shots preventing things like polio,whooping cough,hepatitis B they don't like it very much.They stop screaming and crying when they feel the other one is their and they hold hand they can't see well  or hear well yet but they feel each other and that makes them happy.They don't know why they're where separated but their afraid  they'll never be with each other again.

The nurse put diapers on them, wrapped the girl in a pink blanket and the boy in a blue blanket and put the newborns in their mothers arms. "Oh their beautiful Catherine holds her very tiny babies and they sleep, the doctor told them they are perfectly healthy "what I've always wanted, a little girl and a little boy they have your nose" he said looking down at his babies. “And your eyes dear” she told him he kissed her.Michael wrote down the twins names on their birth certificates.Mabel, Ariel, Pines and Masson, Alex, Pines.

She holds and breastfeeds them for a while. They happily drink their mother's milk they eat their first meal. Michael asks Stan if he wants to hold them "would you like to hold the babies" he nods his head he picks the newborn and puts them in Stan's arms. He is 52 years old and looks at both of them and starts crying. He thinks about his brother disappearing and that he wishes that he could be here to meet them.

"Is he ok, why is he upset?" Catherine looked confused "well because he had a twin brother that passed away" Michael explained at least that what he was told.He and his siblings rarely saw their uncles growing up.So he didn’t really know them personally. "what are their names"Stan asked . "Well our girl's name is Mabel, Ariel, Pines" she told him "aww she's adorable"

"and our little boy's name is Masson ,Alex, Pines" he added. When he said that Stan was not paying attention, he was looking at the mark on the boy's forehead. "Hey look at that mark on his head there it kind of looks like some dots, or the big Dipper" he talks to babies quietly as they sleep in his arms. "You two are very cute and small, you got something special, you have a twin. It means you were born with a best friend. The negative is you didn't choose then.And you have to be around each other all the time sometimes you might drive each other crazy but.

They'll know more about you than anyone else and always be there for you to help you I know what it's like to have a twin sibling who you do everything with and grow up with ". The babies sleep peacefully through him talking "I was dumb ones now my twin brother is gone I'd do anything to bring him back, I'm sorry he not here he's would've love you two but maybe one day. Anyway what is that on your forehead look, like the Big Dipper. Dippy can you keep a promise for me to protect your sister I know I did with my brother and be careful ok don't go scaring your parents like that again ."

Dipper makes a "MMM" noise. "What about you sweetie can you promise, you're great uncle Stan to keep your brother out of trouble. I know my brother tried to keep me out of trouble ". Mabel yawned. "I love you two."He hugs them gently "StanFord, can I hold my grandchildren please?"Shermans begged "just one more minute you promise to be less boring" he stood up. " No and you know I don't like trying new things ....I know this is hard for you after losing Stanley but please let me hold them"

"be careful don't fight over my babies"Catherine warned"fine" Stan puts the newborn's in their grandpa Sherman's arm.He  is 60 years old he used to have dark brown hair but now it's gray and white. "I am so happy you guys are here you’re so precious I remember when you Stanford.

She holds them and plays with them for a little bit she tell the babies."Ok I can't wait for you guys visit us and we'll play together, I bake you cookies won't that be fun" they start to cry and scream.

Then Lois got a turn she has green eyes and red hair with a few gray streaks.She rocks them to calms them down. The babies stop crying.She talks to the twins "Oh they are really cute I can't wait to get them matching onesies Granny Lois is gonna spoil you two rotten". Catherine laughs. Then she put the babies back into her daughters arms.A few days later Stan and Sherman took the twins to meet their 85 year old great grandmother Carren.She lived a long life and she will pass away soon.She has a strong feeling of deja Vu holding her great grandchildren, and she tells Stan that she hopes he can one day bring Stanford back.

Misa from Cabin 2 has made floating lanterns for the crafts, would you like one? @tmnt-fandom-family-reunion

Walking.

Was not as easy.

As Mikey remembered it being.

The poor turtle gasped, out of breath and leaning against a wall, trying to steady his shaky legs and catch his breath. After having cried himself out, Mikey had decided it would be best to just... leave. Stuck in his cabin until the craft fair was over. He was probably bringing everyone's mood down, and it's not like he was being useful. He couldn't make pretty crafts like everyone else and didn't want his family fussing over him when they could be having fun. So he would just. Stay inside. Keep Ice Cream Kitty company.

What the box turtle forgot was the fact he wasn't able to walk long distances on his own anymore. He was still too weak. Which, okay, fine, made sense- the reason however was stupid. Like seriously? He didn't do much! He just opened a mystic portal that almost killed him twice for Leo! And he didn't even do it on his own! No big deal.

Try telling his body that.

The turtle prepared himself mentally before letting go, and taking unsteady steps again. But once his legs started hurting with the strain Mikey decided it was probably for the best to take a break. So at the first shaded area he found, he sat down. Leaned his head back, and closed his eyes.

...Oh, who was he kidding.

He wouldn’t get up for a while. So the box turtle could only pray his brothers wouldn’t notice his abs- Michelangelo.

His eyes snapped open.

He had promised Michelangelo to make bracelets and pass them around.

...

He grumbled, leaning his head against his knees. Michelangelo would understand. He was a version of him, he would get the idea. Tiredly, Mikey opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.

Being greeted by many, colorful, floating lanterns.

His eyes lit up, forgetting his misery for a moment.

Blue, red, yellow, green, pink... every color floated around beautifully, decorating the ceiling with pretty sparkles, lighting up the cave, and matching with the crystals. Woah... how had he not seen the lanterns before? They were beautiful.

Now that he actually looked... Mikey saw many versions of them with the lanterns, laughing and smiling as they let the objects float into the air... getting the lanterns from a stall Mikey sat pretty close to.

"Hello!" He yelped at the sudden voice, flinching back and turning around. A young child dressed in red was standing in front him, holding a yellow lantern in her hands. Wait, she looked familiar... Misa! Right! The one who gave Raph that plush turtle. Mikey had been too tired to say hi. "Are you okay?"

"..." Mikey smiled softly. Aw. Oh that voice was cute. "Misa, right? I'm okay. Just tired."

She smiled brightly and held out the lantern she was holding. "Would you like a lantern? Misa made them herself!"

"You did?" He looked impressed, sitting up straighter and holding out his hands to grab it- but stopped, just before he touched the lantern.

...

His hands shook too much. It... would be best to not accidentally destroy the art she had worked so hard on. She Mikey lowered his hands, admiring the piece with his eyes instead. "It's very pretty! Did you make it all on your own?"

Misa giggled sweetly, and nodded. Mikey looked over the lantern again.

The details... the craftsmanship, the colors, the lights, how had she even managed to make them float-? And they glowed! The sun was painted on so nicely too. Oh they were so pretty. She had done an amazing job. "They're very pretty." He complimented. "Could you throw that one into the air for me? I can't do it."

Hey, he might not be able to make art anymore... but he could still appreciate it.

A Siren and their Gem

(AU: A fellow reader, AlienTee gave me this wonderful idea. This is where Miles went to another world fulled with Mythical Creatures and spoked a certain someone as a Siren.)

"Morales, I'm trusting you on this mission." Miguel spoke to the young Spider-man standing before him. "You are quick enough to be undetected. It's important you don't catch enemies in this world."

"Oh sure, I got this. I know, how to be sneaky. It can't be that bad." Miles being his confident self, he perks up ready to show off. "I can totally tip toe my way out, besides I'm strong enough o fight them back."

"Well, this world is petty much... how do I put this..." Miguel rubs his chin for the moment, "Magical? It's important you don't mess up."

"If I do?"

"Then, your parents will no longer have a son."

"Oh... yikes."

"Yikes indeed, Morales. Be careful."

"Can't you tell me what I should avoid then?"

"Everyone." Miguel said, "Have you ever been to a magical world?"

"Yeah, with Gwen. We sometimes avoid poisonous creatures."

"Well, this is no disney movie. Do not be fooled by the beauty of that place. Everything wants to eat human." Miguel hums.

"Ok..." The eighteen year old gave up on asking the middle age Spider-man, because that man is only secrets and riddles.

So Miles decided to go on his mission into a new Universe trying to look for the anomaly. To his surprised he was in a beautiful land, everything sparkles, the sky had pastel colors and three moons! He saw a village by the sea, he saw a large pirate ship being stock up.

"Okay, this place is so freakin' cool! I can totally want to come back here." He noticed some of the villagers were giving him looks on his outfit, so he decided to turn invisible and "borrow" an outfit.

It's the typically white peasant top with a blue leather vest and tanned pants with some dark brown leather boots with some belt with straps. He tapped his Gizmo to have his suit retract back, "Alright, where is the anomaly?" He squint his eyes looking around, then look at his Gizmo to track down the anomaly.

It should be near, right?

He saw the red dot moving to a spot toward the beach, "Huh oh, better hurry." He quickly uses his electric powers to sore through the sky and swing from the large forest with massive trees.

From the distance he saw a large green Lizard Man anomaly going on a rampage. "Oh no, you don't!" Lizard Man seems to go into the water trying to tackle something.

Miles hear some shrieking and loud cries, he couldn't make it out with all the water being splash around. A loud girl screams out loud, "Oh shit, there's a kid in danger." He head over seeing there was a lagoon with massive rocks and a waterfall, and a broken pirate ship. The Lizard man roars as he grab a little merchild climbing on the large rocks.

The Sirens shrieking out loud for him. "Not on my watch!" Miles landed on top of cliff next to the waterfall, he uses his web to launch himself at the lizard man, "Let her go!" He kicked the monstrous anomaly sending him to fall back. His grasps let go of the merchild, Miles caught her while he swings in mid-air landing on the safer parts of the rocks. "Whoa, I can't use my electricity powers in water. I'll hurt everyone..." He held the little mer-child in his arms feeling her wet scales.

He looks at her noticing she got really big teary eyes and sharp teeth, "It's okay. I got you."

She spoke in a different language with her eyes seem to be bigger as she cries. Her long hair in thick curls having starfish and calms as decoration in her hair. Miles hold on to her seeing Lizard Man landed on the broke ship before launching himself toward him. Spidey senses are tingling, "Gotta move! Hold on tight!" He quickly jumps away while the anomaly keeps chasing him. "I can't fight if I have her in my arms."

"Wahhh!" The little mermaid girl didn't want to let go anytime soon, her big eyes filled with tears. She refused to let go and go back to the water.

Miles went to a close part of the water, "Come on. I need to capture this guy."

"NUUUHHH!" The merchild huffed her cheeks with her arms tightly gripping him.

Miles saw the anomaly jumping into the water swimming towards him. "This is bad. This is bad!" Miles quickly went over to the shipwreck hoping he can figured out how to fight the Lizard man. Then, he saw a few fins and figures circling around him. His eyes saw a mermaid peaking her head out of the water with their menacing glowing eyes.

"Whoa! Chill!" Miles shouted, he saw the female siren dunking back into the water. "Wait, take her! I don't want her!" He holds the mer-child out from his hands.

"Wahh!" The mer-child crying out loud as she spotted the lizard man heading toward them.

"Awe, crap!" Miles turns his head seeing the lizard man tackling him into the salty water, he screams gargling the sea water. His hand let go of the mer-child so she can freely escape, yet the little one quickly swam behind the lizard man to cover his eyes. The lizard humanoid claws dug deep on Miles' shoulders.

This gave Miles the chance to send a powerful punch at the lizard man, those claws gripping him deep in his skin loosen up. The seventeen year old quickly swims out of the water, the little mermaid quickly took his hand pulling him away from the monster.

He couldn't swim in time with his lack of air, the mer-child panics with her eyes teary. She let out a loud echo scream as she tries to help him out the water. The teenager's Gizmo beeping bright red noticing Miles was endanger.

Miles could see his vision blurred until he saw a long massive thick mermaid tiger shark tail passing him. The little mermaid happily gasps quickly speaking to whoever she's excited to see... maybe her mom?

No, this was a massive mermaid possibly a mermaid with long thick brown hair. Miles felt large arms wrapping around his waist then- SWOOSH!

The teenager felt the surface air and gasps for air. The large merman having his mer-child on his back being excited her hero being saved. He swam to the open shipwreck for Miles to climb on.

The young man coughing out all the salt water from his mouth finally breathing some fresh air. "Miles! Miles!" His Gizmo glows having Lyla appeared in her hologram form, "You alright? You need backup. Miguel will be able to send the others-"

Miles coughs, "Nah, I'm good. Just had a bit of backtrack..." He finally breathes.

"OHhh! Papa!" The mer-child eyes sparkled at the odd technology this human had to her it looked like advance magic.

The large merman spoke in their language. "Uhhh thanks for saving me." Miles said without getting a good look at the merman, when he did his eyes widen.

The merman was no other than Miguel variant, and he's massive. With large muscles, red eyes and sharp fangs out with glistening water all over him. Miles noticed the little mer-child holding onto her father's back with a big smile on her face, "Ohh, you must be a Gabriella variant..." Then the mermaid he saw must be her mom, right?

"AHH!" Mer-child turns her head seeing the lizard man swimming up the surface fighting other merfolks.

The large merman growls as he's ready to fight it. Without another thought Miles' stood with a running posed having his body glow in colorful yellows and orange electric powers. "That's it I'm taking you out of here!" He needs to get him out of the water.

"OHHHH!"The Mer-child gasps never seeing magic like that.

The merman saw this which quickly got him moving away from Miles. All his instincts tell him this wasn't a human being- something far more powerful like super human? No magic could ever create this. He quickly prioritize his offspring by taking her away from the fight, he let out a loud cry making the other mermaids retreat. The lizard man swimming from the rocks saw Miles coming in quick electric speed.

The anomaly roars at him being ready to take another hit. Spider-man tackled him through the forest as they kept fighting. "This is better." He saw the trees can work with him swinging. The anomaly golden eyes glares being so rage hungry for blood, he strikes his massive claws at Miles.

The teenager dodges as the two kept fighting through the forest, "If I can get him up on the cliff I can use my electric burst." He noticed the forest had a sorts of Mythical creatures roaming around. They somehow passed through a fairy town, then a Centaur village near by. "SORRY!" Miles shouted feeling bad the anomaly had to rampage some homes still focusing on chasing him.

The crazy part is when the two ran up the cliff there was a cave, and nests around certain spots. "Whoa these are large nests?" Miles thought to himself, he didn't want to know what lives there and the large cave looks so eerie.

Yet the anomaly monster grab a large tree tossing towards Miles. The Spider-man dodges it letting it hit inside the cave. The cave let out a loud screech that got his Spider senses acting out. The Lizard man roars back daring to fight him.

When the creatures came out of the cave, Miles' mouth dropped, "Ain't no way!" He saw a Jesse as an Arachnes holding a sharp spear with her eyes glowing gold at the sight. "Why do you look so freakin' cool!" Miles shouted out loud.

The Arachnes growls at the lizard man, yet her own Spider senses noticed Miles. Behind her back was her little Spiderling, his tiny brown hand holding her thick fur. He stares with his big four eyes while sucking his thumb. The two were caught off guard by Miles' appearance, he felt like them- he feels like one of them... so why doesn't he look like them?

"Yeah, I'm sort of like you!" Miles felt her spider senses syncing with his own. Trying to dodge and focus on the anomaly at the same time, he jumps over to the cave, he gave her warning signs to stay away from the monster. He can handle this!

The variant Jesse had no choice but to trust this odd Arachnes, she growls seeing the monster grabbing another bolder. She gasps quickly throwing her sharp spear at him.

The spear stab right in the anomaly's right forearm, then his body started to glitched making things much worse. He throws the boulder having to stumble towards an empty nest scrambling through to grab something heavier.

Miles launches his spider web making the Arachnes awed at his wrists. The Spidering tries to mimic it noticing he couldn't do it. Why is that? He looks at his mother confused. His mother couldn't understand, yet the odd being had the strength like her kind if not more.

When the teenager launches the large boulder back at the lizard humanoid, "Fight me, you punk!" He shouted.

The anomaly growls tearing the nests trying to find another large item. Unaware of the large flying creatures from the air coming toward him, a loud screech got Miles and the anomaly covering their ears.

"What now?" Spider-man breathes heavily before the Arachnes uses her own web from her rear making a lasso wrapped around Miles to pull him back into the cave. "Whoa!"

He lands back feeling the Arachnes Jesse's thick powerful legs, she's so massive. Her height being double the size of merman Miguel. The spiderling, Gerald variant quickly went over to Miles to feel him, he giggles with his hand patting on his face.

So soft, so squishy unlike his kind's thick skin. He spoke in his language which got Miles' super confused. Then the spiderling sending him friendly Spider singles with his eight legs crawling on Miles, any person would send chills down their body. But little Gerald variant looked so cute.

Then, the shrieks got louder and more painfully sharper like knives stabbing his ears. Miles covered his ears in pain while the two creatures weren't affected by it.

The shrieking came from a massive group of Harpies, there's one courageous Harpies coming in with her own massive claws digging into the anomaly's body. Her mouth opens with a loud cawing sound showing her own fangs. Slim body covered in white, soft pink and yellow feathers, her arms large wings with hands as sharp talons. Miles' saw the beautiful Harpie until he squint his eyes, "Wait a minute."

It's a Gwen variant having large sharp angular blue sparkling eyes, her long legs quickly hops on to the rocky ground. Miles saw the legs being long filled with thick muscle on the thighs, thick bird claws to help her launch in the air and catch her prey.

"Damn, she's so cool." Miles admires the creature, he knew his friend would be hype seeing herself as a badass Harpie.

The lizard humanoid grabs the Harpie's leg, "No!" Miles handed the spiderling back at his mother before he dash in his electric speed to tackle at the lizard.

The harpie Gwen variant flapped her wings going up in the air when she saw someone coming in with electric powers. Magic? Maybe a wizard, she has to stay away.

Miles and the lizard humanoid kept fighting, the teenager saw blood seeping into his peasant top. "Fuck. I'm getting to careless..." Miguel was right, this is a difficult mission for him to handle.

The large anomaly charged at him while Miles threw a powerful kick, there's peaks of rocks build high for him to still swing from web to web. Then from the distance there was a centaur coming with a bow and arrow ready to stop the enemy that rampage his village.

"Oh come on, I don't have time for this. I can't protect and fight him off." Miles sighs, seeing the centaur shooting arrows at the Lizard Humanoid.

The anomaly rumbles in a thick growl as the arrows weren't enough for him, he turns his head being ready to charge at him. Miles wrapped his webs around the lizard humanoid having to pull him back, he saw the centaur being a variant Pavitr with long dark wavy hair and buff body. "Why is everyone so damn cool in this world?" Miles asked out loud.

He bet Hobie variant will be some hot creature like a Werewolf or Gorgon or maybe a hot sexy horned demon. Miles had to stop thinking about and focus on his task. He grabs holding of the anomaly having to push themselves off the cliff, his body exploding with an electric burst that got the anomaly screaming out loud in pain.

Soon the anomaly monster turning back into a grown man as the two fell into the deep water. Miles looks up at the sunlight seeing a long beautiful dark opal tail with enchanted purple fins that sparkles. Then, he felt arms pulling his body towards the water with quick speed. When he felt the warm sun on his face, he let out a loud gasp expecting to see the Miguel variant.

Yet, he saw a beautiful Siren with dark scales going up to his upper body, large fins on where his ears should be, thick long locs with seaweed, and shiny shells. His eyes widen seeing purple colorful eyes with sharp fangs and dark umber skin tone with a purple undertone. Miles slowly got out of the water to rub his face, then stare at the Siren.

It's a Hobie variant.

The Siren deep his head back into water as he swims out of Miles sight. When the teenager got up, he saw the Lizard man back into his human body glitching out, "Okay, let's get you back from your universe." His Honey-brown eyes saw the other creatures peaking from all directions, they were in shock to see a human being something so monstrous. It felt out of place from their world, because it was a born creature or magic.

Miles noticed the merman Miguel peaking out of the water with his eyes following him toward the strange man. He's ready for anything this time. Same goes for the other creatures being very cautious.

The Mer-child being close to her mother watches the sight. Same goes for the Spiderling being held by his mother.

"Nobody is gonna believe this." Miles mutter to himself, as he hold his Gizmo out, "Lyla, do your thing."

"On it!" Lyla appeared in her hola form scanning the anomaly and creating the net to maintain him. The creatures stares at the odd sorcery. Miles types in his code, then open a portal to Margo.

The large celestial portal got all the creatures up alarms, "Hey, Miles! Completed your mission." Margo's avatar appeared out of the portal as she saw the anomaly. "He beat you up?"

"He was the Lizard Man!" Miles said out loud.

"OHHH! Hahaaha, right! Those are always so brutal to fight." Margo laughs having Petra coming out to take the anomaly in her sector.

The creatures gawks at the large metal being, it wasn't a Golem or magic knight. This was something very different, so different from their world. It's unbelievable to them.

"Back in the Spider wars, we would fight five of these at a time!" Petra spoke as they took hold of the anomaly.

Miles and Margo rolled their eyes at their friend's lecture. The Spiderling noticed Margo's Spider senses, he became excited as he quickly jumps off his mother's arm to rush over to the two. He spoke in his native language being happy.

Margo being surprised at the being, "Whoa! Is that an Arachnes! A Gerald variant?" She sends her spider senses to him having to sync.

He giggles with his hands trying to touch her, yet she isn't there. Magic? Miles pick the Spiderling up, "You should see Miguel over there."

"No way! Pfft," She laughs, "He's a Merman!" She saw the merman watching her with those red eyes. "So that's why we aren't allowed to come here?"

"Hahaha, you know what, lowkey, huh? But to be honest this place is pretty crazy." Miles said feeling exhausted.

"Whoa, dude! You're bleeding!" Margo noticed the deep wounds.

Then the Spiderling quickly gasps, "Mama!" He screams out loud wanting his mother to help him.

"I'm good just a little cut." Miles winced as he put the Gerald variant down.

Margo said, "I'ma get Miguel."

"NO! I can do this. Just lie for me. I'll figure something out. I finally got an important mission, I don't wanna screw up!"

"Alright. But you should at least have that check." Margo noticed the large Arachnes coming out of the forest, she went over holding a wooden bowl with some green stuff. "Whoa! Is that Jesse!" She looked so cool.

The leader of the arachnes tribe came close to inspect Miles' wounds, she put the green remedy on it. Miles winced at the sting cold paste then it felt cooling like mint. Soon his wounds disappeared without an issue.

"Wow, that's so awesome." Miles and Margo gawks with their eyes gleaming.

Jesse variant merely smiles before she said something before taking her Spiderling in her arms. She gave a nod before taking her leave. The little arachnes gave Miles a volcanic beaded necklace to show he's one of them, now. Whenever Miles is around he is welcome in their tribe.

It seems everything died down. All the creatures seem to leave from this going back to their own lives.

Margo saw the Harpie flying away to her home on the cliff. Miles sat on the beach floor with a big relief, "Man, I thought I was gonna die."

"You say that now!"

"I just realize this!" Miles felt the warm sun on his face, "Well, it seems everything was alright!"

Margo chuckles, "You gonna stick around? I need to get back to work."

"Yeah, I want to say thank you to someone." Miles added.

"Alright, be careful." Margo hums as she went back to the portal leaving Miles alone on the beach.

Miles lay on the sand feeling the warm sun, it reminded him of his trips to Puerto Rico with family minus the mermaids. Then, he sat up seeing the mermaids still watching him. Why is that?

The little mer-child happily waves him over as she swims over the rocks. The teenager went over to see her swimming around, he went over to a flat rock to sit. He saw a pretty Aquamarine stones with multi-color of golden and purple with bright lime green and black specks.

When Miles busy watching the mermaids swimming around back to their own routine, he decided to soak his feet into the warm water. He closed his eyes feeling the wind finally taking a moment to enjoy.

Suddenly he heard a near by splash, he turns to find the Siren been watching him. HIs purple eyes reflecting on the water giving an alluring glow, his long majestic fins splash the water. Miles let a soft smile at him, before enjoying the sun.

The siren became curious to why the human wasn't coming to him. Normally, they are falling by his eyes, the seductive stare that send man to the sea, to him. Yet, he knew this human isn't human at all, much different. He did save his kind and shows no malice.

So the siren Hobie slowly swam closer to Miles, this time poking at his leg. "Hahaha that tickles." Miles snickers.

Hobie variant arched his eyebrow then saw the mer-child placing a fish next to Miles. "Hmm?"

The mer-child swim into the water being shy. Miles hold the fish seeing the deep bite marks, "Uhhh, do I eat this?" He looks up being confused, he doesn't think he can.

The Siren took it away from his hand to eat it. Then, the mer-child gasps having an angry pout. The siren licks his fingers while finishing the fish being unbothered.

"Hahaha, so Hobie." Miles chuckles.

The mer-child placed another fish with hopeful eyes at her hero. Miles saw the fish and took a moment to know what to do then her heard the mer-child's stomach growling. "Heh." She shyly giggles.

"Here. I'm fine." He handed her back the fish for her to eat.

Her eyes gleams being happy to have the fish to eat. The older male siren being surprised at the human's kindness, so he got out of the water. Sitting on the hard surface, his whole body glistening with black and blue opal scales shining.

"Whoa! You getting to close for-" Miles trails off when he felt the siren's hand caressing his face, those purples eyes meeting him. His face gotten close to the teenager to study him. "A bit too close there..." Miles felt his face warm, trying to avoid eye contact.

Hobie variant found Miles to be cute with those big round eyes, his pretty smile. It's adorable.

"Oh, I do want to say thank you for saving me!" Miles said to him.

The Siren's hand pulled away being confused to what's he saying. "You don't understand me, huh? Um..." Miles took the pretty stone from his pocket, "Here, I found this and thought of you. I wanted to thank you for save my butt back there." He placed the stone in the siren's hand.

The mer-child watching the whole thing let out a small gasp. The siren stares pretty much in shock for the moment, his long black tipped fingers held the pretty gemstone, never saw something so pretty. He glanced over at Miles, "I hope you like it. It's an Aquamarine gem, well in my world we actually have- Whoa! What the?" The teenager felt the siren's arms around his waist, his head resting on the nape of Miles' shoulder. "So you like the gift."

The siren happily snuggled him, he refused to let him go. "Um, you're hugging me pretty tight." Miles try to wiggled out but the siren refuses to release him. "I didn't know your this happy!"

After a half an hour, Margo had to explained to her friends that Miles stayed in the Magical world for a bit. Hobie became worry for him, since they planned to hang out with Gwen and Pavitr. The Spider-band decided to come along with Miguel's supervision.

"I told you guys, Miles was fine." Margo said.

The group went into the world to be welcomed by warm sun by the beach. "Wow, this place is beautiful." Pavitr gasps.

Miguel had his mask on, "Lyla, where is Morales?"

"Over there."

The group turns to the rocks finding Miles surrounded by Merfolks, especially one specific Siren. "Whoa! No way!" Gwen gasps feeling her little girl self feeling giddy to see mermaids.

"Hold on, the only reason why I put this world filed as dangerous because these creatures eat humans!" Miguel said.

"Yikes!" Gwen said, "But Miles look fine."

"Miles, are you in danger?" Pavitr calls out.

All the merfolks turn their head with their piercing glaring eyes, they quickly hid under the water, even the siren that hold Miles back. "Guys! What's up?" Miles got in the water swimming towards them on land.

"Morales, what are you doing? I've told you this place is dangerous." Miguel began to lecture him, unaware of Peter Parker coming in to relax on the beach with his daughter.

Miguel noticed Peter and May chilling, "Parker!"

"What? This is one of our favorite spots! Besides, everyone leave us alone when we're not meddling in their area."

"This world is filled with man eating monsters." Miguel turn to Peter to yell at him.

Miles let a sigh of relief. "Miles, what's are you neck?" Gwen went over to touch it.

"Oi, pretty sweet, Sunflower. A little edgy for your taste?" Hobie asked taking a closer look.

"Oh, I met a tribe of Arachnes! They were so cool and they gave me this." Miles puff his chest being super happy.

"So why were the mermaids around you?" Pavitr asked.

"From saving them."

"And why is that glaring at us?" Pavitr pointed at the Siren in the water glaring at him.

The rest of the group turns to find the Siren glaring at them. "I dunno. I gave him a gemstone as a thanks for saving me." Miles rub his neck, "He's a Hobie variant..."

"Oi, giving him jewelry instead of me, Sunflower?" Hobie playfully teased, "I'm hurt."

"He saved me." Miles explained with his face flustered.

"And I don't? How many times I saved you, Brooklyn?" The punker got closer being playfully.

"Chill, man!" Miles snorted, "Anyway, I gave him a gem and he kept hugging the whole time."

"You gave a Siren a stone!" Miguel shouted at Miles after yelling at Peter who seems unbothered.

"Aquamarine, it's a gemstone." Miles corrected his leader.

"You don't give stones to them. It's how they court!"

"Say what now?" Miles' eyes widen.

"No way! You got yourself a Siren boyfriend?" Pavitr laughs.

Gwen gasps, "Wow, and it's a Hobie variant."

Hobie frowns, he's jealous. Miles said, "Courting? It's just a gem!"

"Have you seen how penguins court, dude? Pavitr giggles.

"Yeah with pebbles... oh..." He realized this is a common primal ritual.

Miguel sighs in frustration, "I'm going back to HQ. I need a cup of coffee and some aspirins."

"Migs, come on, don't be mad." Peter follow him while holding May.

Miles stood being dumbfounded, "So what do I do? I don't think I can reject him, he looks happy."

Hobie scoff, "He can handle it."

"Oh yeah, can you handle rejection if it was from Miles." Gwen crosses her arms. Hobie turns in a distress grey color. "Though so."

Miles wasn't paying attention as he went to the edge of the flat rocks to find the Siren popping his upper body out. "Wow, so pretty." Pavitr saw the Hobie variant.

The siren frowns at Miles before his hands wrapping him with a tug to come into the water. "I'm sorry, I can't! I didn't meant to court you! It was a gift." Miles stammering as the siren looks so sad.

His long majestic tails flaps against the water, then his eyes stares deeply into Miles. This caught the group off when Miles stood in a trance, he went into the water. The siren cups his new mate's face to take in a kiss.

"WHOOOAA!" Gwen and Pavitr freaking out.

Hobie turns a grey yellow color as he quickly went over, "Alright, darling. That's enough." He went in the water to pull the siren away from Miles having in his arms, "He doesn't belong to you.

The Siren hissed at him shoving him back so he can have Miles. "No! He's mine!" Hobie claims.

Miles still being in a daze trance unaware of Hobie's confession. Hobie yanks Miles out of the water, "Miguel, we need your assistance!" Gwen shouted.

Miguel went over to the siren, "Ugh. Alright, let see..." He type on his Gizmo making Lyla translate to the language, "So, who's in charge here?" Miguel began.

The siren's eyes widen a bit surprised, they could speak their language? Then a large massive mermaid came out of the water revealing to Miguel while holding his mer-child.

"I am. What do you want? Coming into our territory?" He growl feeling threaten by Miguel's attitude.

Pavitr gasps at the majestic Merman Miguel, he quickly took a photo sending to the group chat. "He's beautiful!"

"Whoa, so much muscles..." Gwen was more frighten by his menacing appearance.

Hobie yank the Siren off of Miles, "Come on, Brooklyn. Snap out of it."

"Huh?" Miles shook his head from the siren's spell, "What happened!" Then saw the Siren glaring at them being jealous.

"He didn't know giving stones to your kind is an act of mating." Miguel began not being fazed by his other variant, yet his eyes landed on the little mer-child being carried by her parent.

"Hmm, it was odd seeing him giving the gem to my kind. Most humans stay away. Your group aren't human?" The Merman leader of the mermaid tribe spoke with caution.

Miles gasps, "Wait, we got that feature?" He stood in shock.

"Duh, haven't you listened to Lyla's latest updates?" Gwen asked her friend.

"I sort of skip..." Miles gave a sheepish smile.

"Oh me too." Pavitr admits being surprised as well.

Hobie chuckles, "Same."

"You guys need to start listening to her. Some of her features are super helpful! Like not court a Siren!" Gwen spoke out loud.

"We're sorry." Miles and Pavitr apologize to their friend.

Miguel continued to talk to the large merman, before Miles quickly types into his Gizmo, "So I can actually talk to them. Let me see!" He pushes the feature for language communication, "Hello! Hello! HI!" He went over to the large merman.

The mer-child's eyes grew big with joy, "You can speak our language!" She jumps off her dad's grasps going to Miles being happy. "Do you like my gift! I know, I ate it, but fish is really good!"

"I do!" Miles chuckles, "I bet it was real tasty." Then, saw the siren swimming closer.

"Mine!" Hobie variant jumps into his new mate's arms.

"Ahh!" Miles landed on his butt into the water, "Awe, man." He could feel the sand going into places he didn't want to think about.

The siren happily hugs, then glares at Hobie. "Know your place, human."

"Oh yeah? Last time, I've checked he's not part of this world. So your mating is null!" Hobie faced at the siren.

Miguel variant said, "If that's true, then their courting is null."

"I don't care. He's mine." The siren pulls Miles into the water, "I'll be a good mate for him."

"Please, what you can do that I can't?"

"Guys, stop." Miles tries to settle down the fight.

"I can give him an offspring." The siren huffed with his piercing blue-violet eyes.

Hobie stood a bit in shock, "Oi, they can do that?"

"In this world, male Sirens are able to give birth if they want to." Miguel corrected them.

The siren smirks before his hand about to reach over his mate. Then his leader stops him, "Stop it. He's not from this world. You and him can't be together."

"All the more to have him." The siren having the same rule breaking mindset like Hobie.

"Noo!" The leader pulled the Siren back, "We are going home and you are leaving him."

Siren scowls being upset about the sudden changed. Miles went over to him and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to court you. I'm sure you're great and will find someone for you. I wanted to thank you for saving me and thought the gem would be a goof gift." His hand let the siren hold onto the gem, "Keep it. It looks great on you."

The Siren pouts before giving Miles a surprised kiss before going back into the water feeling bum out. Miguel sighs, "That's enough now. Let's leave."

Hobie helped his friend up seeing his face flustered, "That was my first kiss." Miles mutters unsure what to feel.

"Jealous?" Pavitr saw the punker's facial expression.

"Shut up, mate." Hobie tries to hide his own feelings.

The siren watches the group leaving the world making him sulk into his own sadness. He held the gem close to his chest. Miles felt bad, "Should I stay for a bit with him? I feel bad for making this mess."

"It'll be fine, Morales. He'll find a mate soon. Don't worry about it." Miguel explained, "You done good. Perhaps, I will considered you for more advance missions."

"Really! That'll be great!" Miles said with a big smile on his face. Ad the group went into the portal, the teenager turns back to wave the merfolks good bye. They wave back going back into the water while Miles went back to HQ.

"I really hope he find his partner." Miles said to his friends.

"He will. You saw how gorgeous he looked." Gwen giggles.

"Yeah, maybe it will be a Mile's variant." Pavitr said as he looks at Hobie slouching on Miles. "Huh? HUH?"

"What makes you say that?" Miles tilted his head being clueless.

Hobie let a fake cough then chuckle, "He likes to get his fantasies into a twist."

"Augh, you are so clueless Miles!" Pavitr shook Miles, this is getting annoying. The signs are all there!

Meanwhile, the siren sulking and glaring at the leader of his tribe. The large Merman scoffs knowing this was for the best. "You will not marry a human! It's forbidden especially one from a different world!"

The mer-child swam around her mother, "But papa, he's sweet!"

"Hush, my guppy." Her mother tickles her sides letting her husband lecture at the siren.

The Siren huffs before swimming away from the leader, he wanted to be alone. The mer-child went over to comfort him, the two were surprised to find a figure from the distance walking up to the beach.

"Ahh, this looks like a good place to practice my magic! Being a mage is exhausting." The brown skinned young man had big golden brown eyes with long braided hair, and a sunny smile. He set up at the beach getting ready to prepare his studies. "Maybe I'll fish."

The siren finally noticed the figure being the same as Miles. Could this be his new mate? He happily swims over to get his attention.

The mer-child rushes to let her father know the news. The merman warned the Siren about the mage.

Let say this doesn't stop the Siren to finding his love.

Winged Sentinel au 

Act 2: Snippet 7: Apologize 

Warning: Squeal to a fanfic 

Optimus entered the base, where he found his team, including Blurr, attending to Wasp on the couch with the exception of Bumblebee and Prowl.

As soon as Optimus stepped inside, Ratchet and Bulkhead approached him. They both looked up at Red Prime with their optics filled with wariness.

“did you find them” Asked Ratchet in concern as he placed a servo on Optimus's shoulder 

“Yes and they work things out-wait where are Bumblebee and Prowl?“ asked Optimus  

“oh jumped out of a window as soon as he saw Wasp “ uttered Bulkhead  “and Prowl went after him “

Optimus pincher his nonexistent nose and shook his head in annoyance at this: why can anything ever be simple

“Ugh of course he did, why wouldn't he”  sighed Optimus “Looked Sentinel is coming  soon to huh talk to Wasp about what happened “

Wasp immediately screamed and climbed on top of the fridge when he heard that Sentinel was coming.

“Wasp don't want to talk to blue meanie!, Wasp doesn't want to get hurt again, “ cried Wasp. “

“Wasp it's ok, I talked to Sentinel he’s not going hurt you I promise “ reassured Optimus  “he just wanted to talk that all I swear”

Wasp glared down at Optimus with distrust; however, Ratchet approached him and placed a comforting servo on Wasp’s servo, slowly calming the green bot down.

“Shh hey kid along if I am here I make sure that he doesn't touch you, got it” reassured Ratchet with a calming presence “You’re safe “

“Red medic promise?” whimpered Wasp.

“Yes, I promise, now get down from the fridge,” reassured Ratchet.

Wasp reluctantly agrees getting down from the fridge with Ratchet helping him softly get on the ground. 

The only thing left for them to do now was to sit and wait for Sentinel to arrive at the base. 

During the seemingly long wait that went on for nearly an hour, Sari began speaking to Blurr In a little conversation. 

“So you really can't run anymore, “ asked Sari softly.

“I- no “ muttered Blurr clutching his chest plate and looking ashamed 

“Don't worry, I can fix that!” smiled Sari, pulling out her key.

“A key?” questioned  Blurr narrowing his optics 

"Not just any key, Blurr, all spark gives it to her; it can fix everything, “explained Optimus. “I’m sure it can help you”

All spark created a key; Blurr wouldn't usually believe something like this; however, after everything that he had seen, he decided that it might be worth a shot.

“You know what sure why not” sighed Blurr wondering how much weirder this day became.

 Sari climbed onto his leg and put the key into his chest plate. From there, a blue light glow swirled around his body only to turn red and knock Sari away with the key widening everyone’s optics in shock. 

“Sari!” yelped Bulkhead gently, catching her before she hit the ground.

“Ugh, thank Bulkhead,” groaned Sari.

Bulkhead says, “You’re welcome,” towards Sari while everyone turns over to Blurr, trying to figure out what just happened.

“I’m guessing not normal, right?” assumed Blurr.

“i- It has never done this before, try running“ gulped Ratchet. 

Blurr nodded before getting up on his feet to try running yet unfortunately, his speed was slower than it was before making his optics widen in dread.

‘“I- It's even worse now..” choked Blurr falling on his knees in defeated 

Optimus and the crew looked at Blurr in sympathy, placing their servos on his shoulder in comfort.

“I'm sorry Blurr, I just don't understand why I didn't work” apologized Sari, feeling terrible “It always works 

“huh I guess I'm t-truly stuck like this.. forever ” stuttered Blurr feeling his spark getting stabbed through since he did have a little bit of  hope that it might work only to have it be shot down 

“We will find another cure for you, Blurr, I promise. “ Comforted Optimus 

Blurr was simply too stunned to respond to Optimus, preferring to stare at the floor as try progress the fact that a project all spark refused to heal him, which felt like another punch in the gut.

Suddenly Sentinel finally entered the base with Jetfire and Jetstorm by his side. For a moment, there was tension in the air as Wasp and Sentinel glared at each other. Wasp's optics filled with fear while Sentinel's optics tried to remain firm, although there was some underlying uncertainty there as he approached Wasp slowly.

Sentinel reached into his glove compartment, making Wasp immediately hide behind Ratchet, who gave Sentinel a disapproving glare alongside Optimus.

“Those better not be static cuffs in there boy” scolded Ratchet. 

“What, no, there are just forms, you old co-.” Sentinel was cut off by Jetstorm, and Jetfire glared at him, making him quickly reroute his sentence to something else as he took out the forms from his glove compartment to show that he wasn't going to cuff him.

“Huh, I mean you old coolo medic,” gulped Sentinel, trying to salvage the situation awkwardly. Although the twins didn't look convinced, neither did Ratchet, Optimus, or Wasp.

“forms? Sentinel, I ask you to apologize to him not make him sign paperwork” groaned Optimus 

“Yeah yeah I know it's just that I need him to sign this so  any charges against him can be dropped along with his arrest “ sighed Sentinel 

“Arrest?, Sentinel you were the one the one that threatened him” reminded Optimus narrowing his optics. 

When Optimus pointed out that Sentinel threatened Wasp, Sentinel once again felt his words spinning around as he began having visions once again with the offline Wasp replaced by a corpse, making him panic and back away as he grabbed his own faceplate.

This wasn't the only vision, Another vision this time of Ultra Magnus appeared behind Sentinel whispering to him to keep following protocol otherwise there would be consequences making  Sentinel inhale sharply before trying to shake out of it snapping back to reality. 

“W-will stop reminding me!” shouted Sentinel in a mix of anger and guilt making Jetfire and Jetstorm back away a bit along with Wasp “Look just let Wasp read and sign these fragging forms, it will explain everything “

“wait a minute Sentinel what exactly are in these forms”  asked Optimus suddenly taking the forms away from Sentinel to read them 

Sentinel attempted to grab the forms from Optimus, yet the red prime kept dodging him and using his hand to block Sentinel's face, which Sentinel didn't like at all as he began growling “Why you “ at the red prime, but  Optimus just ignored it and read the forms while Jetfire and Jetstorm are looking at each in worried. 

“HEY GIVE THOSE BACK, THOSE AREN'T FOR YOU TO READ!” shouted Sentinel trying to take the forms back Optimus 

In the forms it simply says this:

Under Elite Guard’s vow, the charges and arrest against the offender would be dropped with the retrial progressing as normally with static cuffs involved, and any  assaults I made against the offender in question as leader of the Aerialbots and subcommander of the Autobot sincerely apologize for by the signing of this document - Sentinel Prime ™.

Optimus couldn't believe this: did Sentinel seriously put his apology in a form? This got this to be the weirdest and dumbest thing that Optimus had ever seen his old academy buddy do considering he had seen him apologize to Jetfire and Jetstorm so what was the deal?

“Sentinel, did you seriously put your apology in a form?” Groaned Optimus 

“What I thought this might have killed two cons with one stone “ huffed Sentinel defensively 

“S-Sentinel what is the frag wrong with you!’ snapped Optimus catching  everyone off guard “You can apologize to Jetfire and Jetstorm perfectly just fine  but apparently you can't apologize to Wasp to save your own  aft!”’

“W-well That different-” Sentinel tried to defend him but Optimus cut him off

“How so? Because as far as I can see you are  hurting both of them and you're hurting me-” Optimus quickly covered his mouth when he accidentally mentioned himself “I mean huh Wasp..”

“Wait so this is personal after all!!” suspicioned  Sentinel  

“I-UGH! I NEVER WANTED THIS TO BE PERSONAL SENTINEL BUT YOU JUST HAVE TO AVOID RESPONSIBILITY AND BLAME ME FOR EVERYTHING “ shouted Optimus  “DON'T YOU THINK I MISS HER TO?!”

This stunned Sentinel into silence and shock: he never knew that Optimus missed Elita too and this realization hit him like a truck but before he could say anything Optimus dashed out of the base in frustration leaving Sentinel’s world flip upside down while everyone else glance in confusion and concerns 

“Op-Optimus wait!” Yelped Sentinel quickly put the forms away and went after Optimus.

Sentinel kept running until he found Optimus inside of the alleyway sitting against a trash can with his sevros against his faceplate.

Sentinel looked at Optimus with hesitation before sitting next to him awkwardly and with barely anything to say other than that he didn't know. 

“I- didn't I-I never knew that you miss her”. Gulped Sentinel putting his arms around his legs.

“Of course I did, she was my friend too but I guess you never thought of that, did you?” whispered Optimus bitterly. “I never meant to leave her behind, you know sometimes I wish If I could I would save both of you... somehow “

That was true, Sentinel was so angry at Optimus about leaving Elita behind that he never thought about how the red prime felt about the situation at all.

“I-I missed her too, her laugh, her jokes, and her smile “ whimpered Sentinel grieving Elita

“Her dance moves and her dares,” added Optimus, grieving her too.

“ha yeah, She.. always somehow knows to make a room brighter “ grieved Sentinel.

“Yes, she did “ sighed Optimus “I just wanted to know..why you blame me for all of it.. I thought we were friends... I thought you at least cared a little to at least see that I was suffering too”

“i-I we were friends..I..at one point I did like you ... it's just that I didn't want to think that I really lost her..she was everything to me and now she's gone because of..a stupid fragging idea..“ choked Sentinel “but I guess she was everything to you and I didn't realize until it was far too late...I guess we both lost something that day”

Sentinel sighed before leaning his helm against Optimus’s shoulder which caught Optimus off guard yet he slowly accepted.

“I’m…sorry for leaving her behind” sighed Optimus. “And for the whole..ax thing,”

“I’m sorry too..for everything too...I guess I really did become your... Alpha Trion “ signed Sentinel “You know the big bad villain that gets in your way.

“Sentinel for the last time you’re not evil, an evil bot wouldn't exactly apologize for what they have done “muttered Optimus not believing that Sentinel was still on that whole evil thing “You can still make amends with Wasp, just apologize like you just did with me and the twins, no forms”

“You know he still has to sign these forms since assault is still assault “ sighed Sentinel.

“But huh I will apologize first if that's anything” sighed Sentinel  "But don't expect him to forgive me like we are in some kind of magical wonderland, got it? “

“Sentinel-” Optimus was about to groan in annoyance believing his academy buddy learned nothing until Sentinel cut him off.

Optimus couldn't help but shake his helm a little bit at the mention of a magical wonderland sometimes he doesn't understand what going through Sentinel's hard drive at all

“I-huh got it” sighed Optimus with a little laugh, never really understanding what Sentinel meant by that but could see that he was at least trying.

“Good Now let's get out here, this place gives me the creeps” exhaled Sentinel getting back on his feet and heading back to base.

This talk about Elite One makes Optimus wonder if he should tell Sentinel about Blackarahina yet remembering the destruction that Sentinel caused in Steelhaven, he decided that Sentinel had already been through enough so Optimus I shifted his attention back to the retrial since there were a few things that he worried about.

“Hey Sentinel about this retrial, I wonder if you could tell me more about it  ” questioned Optimus.

“Well what you expected with any other  trial, the defense team  have to convince the council and Elite Guard that guy is innocent while the procuration team try to throw him in the slammer you know that kind of thing “ explained  Sentinel 

“Is there any way you could put us on Wasp's defense team?” asked Optimus.

“Well Optimus I never knew you were the type to ask me to pull stings,” uttered Sentinel, a bit surprised.

“Wh-what I am not asking you to pull any strings I just want me and my team to help Wasp in any way possible, ok” stuttered Optimus defensively.

“Right because me as the sub commander of the Autobots putting a maintenance crew with no experience in law on the defense team is definitely not pulling any strings “ spoked Sentinel sarcastically with an optics roll.

“I- ugh look is there any way for us to help without any slings being pulled “ asked Optimus.

“huh well You and little crew could be on the jury but that's pretty much it” suggested Sentinel. 

“huh..Right, so who exactly is on Wasp's defense team, and who is against him? “ asked  Optimus.

“some bot called Smokescreen is the lead of his defense team  while another not called Huh Alchemist is against him, claims to be the best in the business but I doubt we have anything to worry about as long  as Wasp sign these forms “ explained Sentinel a bit  confidently “so he won't be held for another crime.... just the whole you know spy mix up”

“Huh, are you certain?” questioned Optimus, still a bit concern 

“Hey what are the chances that he did something else illegal so this retrial should be smooth sailing “  uttered  Sentinel thinking this was going to be the easiest part.

Optimus was still uneasy at this since he had a bad feeling in the spark that this wasn't as easy as Sentinel said that it was going to be especially since he didn't exactly like the idea of not being on Wasp's defense team yet jury is really the only option without looking shady. 

So the two prime once again entered base where they saw Blurr and Ratchet sitting down at a table playing cards on the floor with Wasp who immediately turned stiff at the sight of seeing Sentinel again while Blurr and everyone else looked on awkwardly.

“We're back, this time Sentinel wanted to talk to Wasp properly” announced  Optimus. 

“Huh right I leave you guys to it “ uttered Blurr awkwardly  getting up from the ground to make room for Sentinel to sit 

Wasp whimpered a bit in fear as Sentinel approached toward Wasp however Ratchet calmly placed a servo on Wasp's shoulder calming him down. 

“I won't let him do anything, kid “ reassured Ratchet standing as Wasp's bodyguard while comforting him. 

Sentinel took a deep breath and sat down across from Wasp at the table putting the forms onto the table. There was an awkward silence that you could hear a pin drop from here as the two states at each other in unease.

Wasp started at Sentinel's faceplate with suspicion before picking up the forms to read them with narrow optics before placing them back down on the table still glaring at the blue prime.

“Huh Wasp look I'm huh.. s-sorry about what happened “ gulped Sentinel acting like he was dying but the apology was genuine “Look I don't expect you to forgive me like we are in lolly land but just sign these forms so we continue this retrial and afterwards we don't have to see other faceplates ever again, got it .”

“How hold on what did you just call me “ glared Sentinel at Wasp scarring the Green bot when he slammed his servo onto the table and making everyone glare at Sentinel, especially Jetfire and Jetstorm who looked on in uneasy while Ratchet took a protective stand in front of Wasp.

“Wasp don't forgive Big Blue meanie but Wasp will agree to go to retrial as long as Bumblebee isn't around “ growled Wasp picking up a nearby pen.

Sentinel immediately backs off when sees the disapproval from Jetfire and Jetstorm which once again makes him see visions of the corpse Wasp making him panic so he to a sharp inhale to try to regain his composure.

“i-I mean just go ahead and sign and take your time” gurgled Sentinel trying to reroute his sentence to be less hostile “And huh this Bumblebee won't be anywhere near your trial”

Wasp narrowed his optics at Sentinel, growling at him a bit before signing all the forms. When Wasp was finally done signing the form he nervously handed it back over to Sentinel who quickly placed them back in the glove compartment before getting up ready to go back to Cybertron.

“Good now with that all settled, we can finally go back to Cybertron” uttered Sentinel, ushering the Elite Guard and everyone else to follow him to Steelhaven.

“Hold up Sentinel what about Bumblebee and Prowl they aren't back yet “ spoke up Optimus “And we can't just leave Sari here alone “

As soon as Optimus says that Prowl suddenly shows up covered in mud looking tired and that he's been through a complete nightmare, holding a struggling and yelling Bumblebee by the neck.

“Let me go! I have rights!” yelped Bumblebee trying to break free from Prowl’s hold while the cyber ninja looked like he was nearly about to snap.

Wasp hissed and glared at Bumblebee with intense hatred, feeling betrayed by Sentinel's lie about not being near his trial.

“Didn't blue mech say Bumblebee won't be anywhere near Wasp’s trial” hissed Wasp ready to activate his blaster.

“Wh- how was I supposed to know that he was going up now!?” growled Sentinel in annoyance “Ugh you know what, here's an idea Bumblebee here can stay with the tiny human while the rest of us can go to Cybertron to get this trial start, got it”

Wasp liked the idea of not seeing Bumblebee again and fully supported the plan, while Optimus was opposed to it. To him, it felt like Bumblebee was avoiding responsibility again, and he didn't like the thought of Bumblebee being on Earth by himself.

“Sentinel, we can't just leave Bumblebee behind, He needs to take responsibility for what he has done” protested Optimus. “He has to come with us...He can wait outside the trial and apologize afterward, Sounds good?”

“NO, I DON'T WANT TO GO!” whined Bumblebee. “I can just stay and hang out with Sari at base, like Sentinel said.”

“And Wasp doesn't want Bumblebee to be anywhere near Wasp’s trial!” agreed Wasp.

“For frag's sake, Optimus, just let him stay on that stupid organic rock! He can make his little amends with Wasp later" groaned Sentinel. "What’s the worst that can happen?”

“Look, Sentinel, I really don’t like the idea of Bumblebee being on Earth... alone with Sari...They tend to get into trouble,” sighed Optimus.

“All right then, the Cyber Ninja can stay to keep an eye on them,” suggested Sentinel. “There! Problem solved!”

“Yes, good idea! We'll go with that!” gulped Bumblebee.

“Ugh Primus not again..” groaned Prowl annoyed that was about to babysit Bumblebee again “but I suppose it's for the best”

Optimus glares between Wasp, Bumblebee, Sari, Sentinel, and Prowl before letting out a reluctant sigh.

“Fine” groaned Optimus, feeling like he was about to have a headache at this.

“Right now let's get out of here” huffed Sentinel walking out the base ushering everyone out with the expectation of Bumblebee and Prowl.

With that Bumblebee was finally put down by Prowl while Optimus and the rest crew said their goodbyes to Sari with Bulkhead promising to come back and give her gift from Cybertion when he came back. 

While walking out of the base Ratchet decided to talk to Jetfire and Jetstorm knowing that he was out of line with them earlier.

“Eh hey Jetfire and Jetstorm right” asked Ratchet “Eh I'm sorry about all that talk earlier”

“Look I don't forgive you but.. thanks.. for the apology anyway” sighed Jetfire with Jetstorm nodding along. 

Ratchet felt bad but he knew that it was fair considering how he acted earlier so he sighed before transforming into his vehicle once he was out of the base. 

After getting done talking to Ratchet, Jetfire and Jetstorm turn their attention to Sentinel Prime to have a talk him.

“Sentinel.. thank you for keeping my promise ” sighed Jetstorm “but… you almost scared me..and Jetfire back there ..I don't want you to do that again toward him ok”

“I-i huh not sure if I can.. exactly do that... Jetstorm…”  stuttered Sentinel knowing fully that would take an act of Primus to calm him down. 

“Please..at least try” exhaled Jetstorm. 

Soon everyone was on their way toward Steelhaven except for Optimus he couldn't stand the sight of Bumblebee dancing and celebrating avoiding responsibility so he backtracked to glare at Bumblebee. 

“Frag yeah staying on earth with Prowl and Sari! Best day ever!” celebrated Bumblebee with finger guns.

“Well, I hope you're happy Bumblebee because somehow the less responsible bot I ever know” muttered Optimus clearly pissed off. “One day guilt is going to eat you from the inside out” 

“Nuh huh I'm the  responsible bot I know “ declined Bumblebee “Right guys”

Sari, Prowl, and Optimus didn't respond to that at all leaving nothing other than silence to fill the air as Optimus leaves without another word leaving Bumblebee befuddled.

“What I am totally responsible!” yelp Bumblebee angrily.

“Yeah as responsible as a baby “shot down Sari with an eye roll while Prowl sniffed back a laugh 

Bumblebee really didn't like being called a baby so he decided that was going to try to prove Sari wrong with the worst idea that ever came up in his helm.

“Hey I’m not a baby and I can prove it! “ yelped Bumblebee waving his arms in frustration.

Bumblebee without any warning began dashing over to the exit of the base but Prowl blocked him with Sari.

“Just where do you think you're going?” asked Prowl with crossed arms looking at Bumblebee with a glare.

“Yeah Didn't you want to stay in base? “ added Sari copying Prowl by crossing her arms too.

Bumblebee groaned in annoyance knowing that Sari and Prowl wouldn't leave until he explained himself so he had to direct them somehow. He spotted a nest filled with eggs on a ledge getting him a idea. 

“Prowl look out that nest is about to fall” yelped Bumblebee shooting the side of the ledge causing the nest to fall off immediately

Prowl gasped and reacted quickly doing a backflip to save the nest from falling while Bumblebee made his escape with Sari trying to jump on him to stop him from leaving yet he was way too fast for her to catch up with as transformed into his vehicle and drive away disappearing into the distance.

“Ugh, can you believe him!” groaned Sari in annoyance.

Sari jumped on top of Prowl and two zoomed out of base in search for Bumblebee across the street of Detroit. 

“Come on we can still catch up with him” uttered Prowl putting the nest in a safe spot on a table before transforming into his vehicle mode.

They keeping searching for him until they spotted him jumping inside Steelhaven and quickly entering a vent when the doors shut and the ship flew off into the sky before Prowl and Sari could properly catch up with him.

“Oh great He’s gone,” huffed Sari, annoyed.

“This isn't over yet” uttered Prowl pressing his servo against his aduail ready to call Optimus only for it to glitch out due to the mud “I-i the connection seems to be slash”

“Well, frag” cussed Sari with crossed arms not believing her best friend would ditch her like that without even telling her what he was planning. “And to think I was about to make him another friendship bracelet”

Prowl comforted  Sari before taking her back to base where they tried other ways to sent messages towards the team hoping at least one them make it though since who knows what Bumblebee could be up to on that ship

_________________________________________

Steelhaven landed on a landing deck where Sentinel ushered everyone out including Bebop who was holding a jar of rain that he collected from Earth and Jazz spent a full minute to convince Sentinel that it wasn't dangerous. 

Once they step onto the surface of Iacon Optimus,  Bulkhead, Ratchet, and Wasp look on in astonishment at the changes that it has been through with seekers Autobots flying all over the place helping grounded bots meanwhile Blurr and Jazz deal with the Decepticon prisoners by letting a few guards take them to prison. 

“Woah it's almost like a dream” grasped Bulkhead looking around in wonder at the site as Sentinel showed off everything like a trophy.

“Welcome all the new and improved Cybertron that one and only Aerialbots help to build from the ground up” announced Sentinel can't help but brag about how great his unit the Aerialbots is.

Sentinel showed everyone the new charging around Cybertron while walking them towards Fortress Maximus when suddenly Sliverbolt came down from the sky bolting towards the blue prime in a panic however Sentinel was far too excited to show off the changes that he made to notice the fear in Sliverblot’s optics. 

“And here one of the members of the greatest unit in Cybertron right now “ bragged Sentinel putting his arms around the panicked Sliverbolt.

“Sir Punkrock and First Rate have gone missing! yelped Silverbolt in panic. "We sent a search party after them, but so far we haven't found anything!”

Bebop immediately dropped the jar of rain on the ground in horror hearing that his sibling was missing while Sentinel's proud face twisted into frustration. 

“My.. brother is missing” whimpered Bebop in pure fear while Jazz put a comforting servo on his shoulder. 

“WHAT! WELL KEEP LOOKING FOR THEM, THAT A ORDER “ shouted Sentinel. “AND I’M COMING WITH SO NOBODY ELSE GO MISSING “

“Yes, Sir” salutes Sliverbolt ready to go back into action

Sentinel was about to get ready to transform and soar out in the sky with Sliverbolt until Ultra Magnus appeared in front of them with a crossed face.

“I don't think so Sentinel, you’re not going anywhere until this trial is over with “ huffed Ultra Magnus. “As a reminder everyone in the elite guard must be present for the pre-trial preparation alongside the council”

“But Sir, my unit!” Protested Sentinel in frustration.

“I'm sure they will do just fine without your presence, now go to quarters with the rest of the Elie guard in Fortress Maximus and get ready, that's an order “ dismissed Ultra Magnus. “Unless you want to cancel this trial “

“But-” Sentinel was cut off by Ultra Magnus repeating “That's an order” but slightly louder this time. 

Sentinel gave Ultra Magnus a glare huffing a reluctantly “fine” before turning over to Silverbolt to order him and Bebop to keep looking for two missing Aerialbots with the rest of the unit which they agree to

Afterward, Sentinel along with the rest of the Elite Guard left toward their quarters to get ready for the upcoming trial leaving the rest of the Autobots feeling an uneasy tension in the air.

_______________________________________

Bumblebee rolled out the vents of Steelhaven onto the landing deck with a determined look on his faceplate.

“Responsibility city here I come “ puffed Bumblebee with pride “Wasp get ready for the best apology of a lifetime “

The mention of Wasp caught the attention of an old Silver and Golden mech who approached Bumblebee with interest as he slightly pulled Bumblebee into an area of iacon where nobody could see them.

“I’m sorry did you say Wasp, how do you know that name? “ asked the older mech towards Bumblebee

“Oh well-he used..he used to bully me” gulped Bumblebee suddenly less confident now.

“And you really want to say sorry to somebody who bullied you when you were the victim “ questioned the old mech. 

“You know what you're right! Why would I be the one to say sorry he was the one who cut my legs off! “ Huffed Bumblebee” I can't believe I came all the way here for nothing “

“Perhaps your visit isn't all in vain my friend, this could be your chance to finally stand up to him, all you need to do is put this in his drink“ suggested the older mech putting out a small piece of red Energon.

Bumblebee widened his optics in bewilderment at the red energon; he had no idea what this was at all and what it could do.

“Huh is that enegon?” asked Bumblebee 

“Not just any enegon, Red enegon..perfect for pranks..put this in his oil during the pre-trial preparation and you will never feel helpless ever again “ suggested the older mech “But make sure that nobody sees you with it ”

“Oh I get the perfect prank that needs to be unseen, I am in!” Bumblebee eagerly took the red energon “Thanks huh..what was your name?”

“Please call me Alchemist my friend and if you don't mind I have some business to attend to “ smiled Alchemist before disappearing into a nearby dim alleyway.

Bumblebee blinked a few times to make sure that he wasn't seeing anything since for a second he thought he saw Alpha Trion and Ironhide inside of an alleyway that Alchemist disappeared into only to find that the old mech and his former second bully weren't there in all the second time he looked properly

This was something strange going around here however Bumblebee couldn't see that since as far as he knew he was going to pull the ultimate prank of a lifetime not knowing the consequences ahead.

Labyrinth of white roses

(Effie trinket x fem oc)

Chapter 2)

"Capitol City"

The station is full of journalists from the Capitol City who have come to film the departure of the tributes from the station, I'm happy I didn't cry before. Alexander on the other hand still has red eyes, I feel sorry for him, after all he is still a child; if Elia had been in his place he too would have cried.

The train is incredibly luxurious: the furniture is made of solid mahogany, the tablecloths are silk and the sofas are soft and comfortable.

We each have our own bedroom with attached private bathroom with hot running water, in district twelve we don't have hot water.

Effie told us that we can do whatever we want until dinner time, so I decide to take advantage of all this luxury, I take a long hot shower and I apply a berry scented cream on my body which makes my skin soft and fragrant; I decide to wear my green dress with white flowers again but I change my old boots with a new pair that I found in the wardrobe of my room and finally I tie my hair in a braid like the one Elia had done for me this morning.

Thinking about Elijah makes me sad, it reminds me that if I want to see him again I will be forced to kill; I think I wouldn't feel guilty if I were forced to kill to defend myself but the very idea of ​​having to kill scared children like Alexander makes me feel bad.

I leave my room and start walking towards the carriage where we will have dinner, I was hoping that walking would help me stop thinking but that's not the case.

When I arrive at the restaurant car there is only Effie sitting at the table.

-Darling you arrived right on time, come and sit down-

Effie invites me to sit in front of her and smiles at me.

A few minutes later Alexander and Haymitch also arrive and the Avox begin serving dinner.

As a first course we are served a delicious risotto decorated with wisteria flowers, as a second course we are served a cut of pork accompanied by various vegetables and finally they bring us some cakes filled with what I believe is chocolate.

When dinner is over I feel full like I've never been before and judging by the look of deep subscription on Alexander's face I can tell he feels the same as me.

Before going to sleep Alexander asks Haymitch for advice on how to behave as soon as we arrive in the Capitol, Haymitch replies that he will explain it to us tomorrow if he feels like it then grabs a bottle of whiskey and goes to his room.

I also go to my room and get ready for bed.

When I am woken up in the morning by an Avox I feel very tired due to the lack of sleep due to the constant nightmares I have been having.

After washing I put on a simple light blue dress that I found in the wardrobe and head to breakfast.

When I arrive, everyone is already there: Haymitch is pouring what I think is whiskey into a cup of tea, Effie is eating a pink muffin and Alexander is eating a bit of everything.

-Good morning darling, did you sleep well?-

Effie said smiling at me, "she has a beautiful smile" I think and I can't help but blush.

-I slept very well Effie-

In reality my sleep was downright terrible but Effie doesn't need to know that.

-I'm happy to know, we will arrive at Capitol soon and you will have to be in perfect shape for the tribute parade-

-Speaking of the parade, Haymitch told us yesterday that you would explain to us how to behave-

Haymitch looks away from his tea for the first time since we started eating and, far from happy, answers Alexander.

-Do you want some advice?! Smile, blow kisses to the crowd, make the citizens of the Capitol believe that you love them and that you are honored to be here-

-Do you have any advice regarding the Hunger Games? Should we try to ally ourselves with other tributes? What should we focus on during training? What is the weapon we should learn to use? -

-Girl, you're really trying to win, I like you. To answer your questions: the only solid alliance is that of the favorites but allying with them if you don't come from districts one, two and four is practically impossible unless you prove yourself incredible in training; During training you will need to balance practicing survival techniques with weapons training. Do you have survival skills or experience with weapons? -

-I know medicinal plants, I'm quite agile and I can climb practically anything but I don't think they are very useful skills-

Alexander seems very dejected, he already thinks he's done for. I take his hand in mine and squeeze it reassuringly, he turns to look at me and gives me a small smile.

-I know edible plants, I'm good with throwing knives and I'm really good with a bow I always hit my prey in the eye-

Haymitch hums thoughtfully, I hope it's a good sign.

-We have arrived, we will continue our conversation after the tribute parade in the meantime my first piece of advice is let the stylists do whatever they want with you, they know what they are doing-

Once we got off the train we were accompanied to the tribute preparation center, each tribute was assigned an entire staff with the task of making us beautiful for the parade.

I lie down on a metal surface, they massage my whole body and apply a lotion that makes my skin glow; at a certain point the trainers decide to remove all the hair on my body, when they're done, my body burns.

When I finally finish all the treatments I am taken to a room and told to wait for my stylist to arrive.

After a while a man with dark skin and a thin layer of gold eyeliner over his eye enters; in his hand he holds a garment bag in which I think there is my dress.

Usually for the parade the tributes are dressed to recall their district, for example the tributes from district one are often adorned with jewels; the tributes from district twelve almost always come dressed as miners and unfortunately this doesn't get us many sponsors; other times, however, the stylists decide that the clothes are overrated and leave the tributes practically naked, I remember that a few years ago the tributes of district twelve did not have a dress but had been covered in ash. "I hope I'm not naked"

-Nice to meet you, I'm Cinna your stylist. I decided to make you wear a particular dress that doesn't focus on the miners but on coal and fire-

"Oh no! I'll be naked for sure"

-The idea for your dress came to me when I saw you and the boy from district twelve. I thought about how different you two were, one with red hair and the other with black hair. Looking at you, coal and fire came to mind; you with your black hair will be the coal while the boy with his red hair will be the fire-

He opens the case and takes out a black leather suit. After putting on the pants and leather bodysuit Cinna has me put on some high boots with a small heel. Cinna attaches little pieces of coal to my dress which are covered in a thin layer of red glitter which makes the little pieces of coal look like they are glowing.

When I'm done getting dressed, I apply make-up: a little black eyeshadow with glitter, a red shaded eyeliner and a gloss with glitter.

-Now the final touch-

Cinna placed on my head a beautiful diadem with fiery red rubies.

When I can finally look at myself in the mirror I am left speechless.

"I'm beautiful"

The leather clothes bring out every curve of my body, the makeup makes my eyes appear a deeper blue, and the crown highlights the black of my hair. Without even thinking about it I hug Cinna, thanks to him I will be able to get some sponsors and my chances of winning will increase.

-Thank you Cinna, you are saving me-

When I see Alexander I notice that he is dressed similarly to me, but his crown is black.

Our stylists help us get on the bandwagon and wish us good luck.

Around us, there are the other tributes on their chariots: the tributes of district two wear armor that leaves little to the imagination, the tributes of district seven wear clothes made of leaves, the tributes of district nine wear a dress made of a fabric that resembles corn ears...

One by one the floats begin to advance and the crowd begins to applaud. Our wagon starts to move, I turn to look at Cinna and he motions for me to hold my head high and smile.

When spectators see us they shout our names and throw roses at us; I grab one and after kissing it I throw it back to the crowd and everyone tries to catch it.

"They're fighting about me! They care about that rose because I kissed it."

Continue to blow kisses to the crowd and smile until the parade ends and we are taken back to the preparation center.

Our stylists come to meet us, hug us and congratulate us.

Shortly afterwards Effie and Haymitch arrive and after congratulating us they accompany us to the elevators. Above us is the training center and above it are the living quarters of the tributes and their staff. Each district corresponds to a floor, ours is the twelve.

oc interview: 💙Vex💙

Shoutout to @mail-me-a-snail for tagging me in this post and also egging me along with getting into Cyberpunk 2077 and subsequently creating Vex 💫

(I don't have a single good photo of Vex so you instead get the Compilation of sillies I've drawn, many featuring Snail's Vance!)

💙 Name?

"Name's Vex, but call me anything you like."

💙 Nickname?

"Some people used to call me V, but that was a while ago."

He used to be called Ghost when he was younger, being able to slip into the background unnoticed at any moment, but he later grew out of that. When he eventually adopted the name V, it was less of a nickname and more of a stage name. It's mostly forgotten now, but some hardcore fans will still recognize and call him V.

💙 Gender?

"Prettyboy 💖"

💙 Star sign?

"Oh, I used to be really into these! If I remember right, My sun and moon are both Libra. Missy could probably tell you more about what that means though."

I decided to take one out of Max's book and use the first time i drew him as his birthday, which if we're going by the absolute first concept, was September 26, 2022. He's changed a Lot since then. Also, reading up on libras with Vex in mind is just 💥

💙 Height?

".....5'8."

He's actually 5'7 and a half.

💙 Orientation?

"Anyone able and willing. Why, you interested?"

If he cared enough about labels, it'd probably be pansexual. But by the end of the day, he doesn't really care what he gets called. As long as he gets what he wants out of it, anything's fine.

💙 Nationality/Ethnicity?

"White."

💙Favorite Fruit?

"Oh man, okay so I've only had it once at an after party forever ago, but it was this round, redish purple thing. When I bit into it, it was a little tart at first, but the inside was such a sweet taste that I was in heaven. By the time I finished and threw the pit away, there were no more left and I nearly cried. I haven't seen it since and I can't remember the name but man. Best organic thing I've ever tasted."

If you give this man a plum, he'd kill someone for you. Which isn't a lot given that that's his job, but still. He'd do it without expecting to be paid in money.

💙 Favorite season?

"Fall, for sure. While I was in Atlanta, they had these parks with trees that would change their colours to these gorgeous shades of reds and oranges. God, kinda makes me wish I could grow something like that here."

I don't actually know the plant life in Nevada or how much the temperature differentiates between the seasons in Night City, but I imagine that what shrubbery they do have there have leaves that are always green or simply non-existent. Vex saw a plant change colour outside of blooming and immediately fell in love with it.

💙 Favorite flower?

"Officially, Lilacs. But between you and me, I'm very partial to forget-me-nots."

He used to be gifted Lilacs all the time during his first career by Jonathan, his producer, but Vex always found himself enjoying the little forget-me-nots that acted as accent flowers than the actual lilacs themselves.

💙 Coffee, tea or Hot chocolate?

"Hot chocolate. Although, I will drink coffee in a pinch."

This man has the biggest sweet tooth. The amount of sugar he puts in his coffee before he chugs it down for the caffeine should be illegal. [I cannot judge bc I am the same way <3]

💙 Average hours of sleep?

'We talking Mean, Median or Mode?"

It varies so much that the actual average ends up being about 6, but um. Do not be fooled into thinking he's actually sleeping 6 hours every night. Think more along the lines of several all-nighters followed by crashing super hard for a day or two.

💙 Dog or cat person?

"Oh, a cat person. I'm just not home enough for a dog."

💙 Dream trip?

"I saw a pamplet once of Crater Lake in Oregon. It was something about the ten deadliest lakes in the world or something, but I'm just into how Blue it is. If I could, I'd visit the rest of those lakes too, but. Eh, I doubt it."

💙 Favorite Fictional Character?

"Hmm, it's a toss up between a side from this really long and old comic from the 2010's and the protagonist from a just as long manga from the 2000's. I think their names were Kanya and Ruffy? It's been 15 years though so don't quote me on that."

It's Kanaya from homestuck and Luffy from One Piece. He likes Kanaya because of her fashion sense and her dealing with the responsibility of her entire species on her shoulders. And he likes Luffy for his optimism and stubbornness. At one point, he imagined finding friends like Luffy did, being surrounded by so much devotion. The reasoning has since faded and he just barely remembers much about them now.

💙 Number of Blankets you sleep with?

"Eight. I like the weight and warmth."

His AC bill is through the fucking roof but he refuses to take a single blanket off, instead insisting on just making the rest of the room freezing. Giving him a weighted blanket wouldn't fix it, but he'd probably go down to five instead of eight.

💙 Random fact?

"When i was really little, my mom used to take me to a church. Don't think it exists any more, but I remember the Stain glass windows, how the light shone through and fell onto her. In normal lighting, I remember her looking pale a sickly, but once a week, with a statue of a half-god watching over us, my mother glowed. She was gorgeous.

"Anyway, I stopped going after she died. For a while it was because I never remembered what day it was, but later it was because I realized I only ever went to see my mom glow."

~~

Thank you for tagging me, Max! This was much longer than what i thought when i was getting into it but I'm still glad I did it.

I can't think of anyone specific who'd want to do this, so if you see this and want to give it a try, please do and tag me! I'd love to see your little blorbos :)

[eljeebee]

It's Winterfest! Louie knocked on his little brother's room, screaming, "Happy Winterfest, Mase!"

"Happy Winterfest, Lou!!"

Lunch time, the little family started preparing for the event. Jason prepped their dining table with fancy mats, while the mother and sons decorated their (newly bought) winterfest tree.

"Mama, let's go with blue!" said Louie, picking up a blue garland.

"No!!! I wanted red!" said Mason, snatching the garland from his older brother.

"Mama!" Louie cried, looking at her mother who was choosing which topper to put up.

Sophia looked up from what she was doing with a raised brow. "What is it, boys?"

"Mama, I want it red, it's your favorite color! Louie wanted it blue!"

"But it's different! I want different!" Louie snatched the garland harshly back from him. He was fuming, fair face reddening.

"Then if you want different let's go with green! It's Papa's color. Blue isn't a winterfest color!" Mason screamed.

"It is! It's the color of the snow!"

"Enough!" Sophia raised her voice, with Jason almost dropping the Tofurkey on the background. He grimaced, almost tiptoeing to the dining table.

The boys stopped, but looking daggers at each other. Sophia smoothed the back of her skirt as she sat down, her sons following suit.

"Look, if we don't settle this, one of us would sulk because someone chose a different color. If we can't make up and decide a color, then...," Sophia extends her arm as she pulls a box to her side. She pulled out a garland made of popcorn and cranberries. "Then, we'll have to use this instead."

"It's ugly!" Louie spat.

"It is, but I still got red," Mason shrugged, a little smirk painted on his lips.

"Mason," Sophia warned.

Mason looked down, "Sorry, Mama."

"Then it's settled, we'll use popcorns and cranberries."

From the dining table, Jason shook his head.

With the boys quietly putting away the boxes, Jason stood beside his wife. "That's uhm...a nice winterfest tree."

"Thanks," Sophia sighed. She lowered her voice, "I hated the garland. It's embarrassing."

Jason chuckled, wrapping an arm around her hip, squeezing it gently. "There, there."

The Davises had a fun Winterfest lunch, though Jason and Sophia had to break up the two from sitting together.

FOUR ENIGMAS, FOUR BROTHERS

@themousefromfantasyland @tamisdava2 @the-blue-fairie @princesssarisa

(Romani Tale)

Four romani brothers live alone in great poverty and in a small caravan. One morning, the oldest says:

“We have no work or food. I'm going out to earn a living, and when I get rich I'll come back.”

He goes walking through the forest, he goes east, he goes west... he doesn't care which way, wealth could be waiting for him anywhere! And he still doesn't know which way to go.

One day, hungry and desperate, he lays down under a tree and falls asleep. A nasal voice suddenly wakes him up:

"Hey! Lazy man who doesn't work! I'll give you gold and silver if you can answer my riddle! If you can't, you'll be my servant. Come with me!"

The romani man opens his eyes and sees a dwarf who jumps around him. The romani man decides to follow the dwarf.

They arrive at a beautiful stone and wood house. The dwarf opens a chest, where gold and silver shine:

“Answer me correctly and all this is yours: in a green house, a red mother brings up her many black children. What is it?"

The romani man thinks and replies:

“I can’t quite imagine…”

“It's the watermelon: its rind is green, its flesh is red and its seeds are black! You will be my servant! And don't even think about running away, because my revenge will be terrible!”

The romani man has to work and work, from dawn to dusk, under the cries of the dwarf, who watches and threatens him. He is very sad...

Seeing that his brother does not return, the second gypsy also leaves.

He walks for a long time and falls asleep under a tree. Soon the dwarf shakes him and makes the same speech. Arriving at the stone and wood house, the dwarf mocks:

“Find the answer or be my servant! Here is my riddle: the more four sisters run, the farther they are from the horse!”

The second brother is thoughtful. It runs through the entire brain, turns intelligence upside down, and nothing can find the answer.

The dwarf interrupts the boy's thoughts:

“What a big imbecile! It's the four wheels of the cart! You will be my slave, and don't even think about running away!"

From dawn to dusk, he works and works, the poor romani man...

Until it's the day for the third romani man to go looking for his brothers.

Like the first two, he meets the dwarf, but this time in the stone and wood house.

“For you, I have a nice riddle.”

says the dwarf, rubbing his hands together.

“Two sisters, two brothers: the first runs without ever stopping, the second drinks without ever quenching his thirst, the third eats without ever being satisfied, the fourth is always present but invisible.”

The romani man searches the memory, scans the memories and investigates the spirit... Nothing, he doesn't find an answer!

The dwarf jumps with joy:

“Dumber than the biggest ass of all asses! It's the four elements: running water, drinking earth, devouring fire, and invisible air! Come on, come on, to work! I don't care about lazy people around here, nor bums!"

The third brother wears out. He works himself to death, from sunrise to sunset, under the screams of the terrible little dwarf.

In the caravan, the fourth brother feels very lonely and upset. So he locks the door and goes down the road... He doesn't look for Mrs. Fortuna, he looks for his brothers. But first he finds three companions that loneliness had brought together. A fox, a wolf and a bear thrown out by the family for not being mean and aggressive enough. They end up liking the wanderer and accompany him down the road. However, walking tires men more than animals. And while the animals keep going along the path, the romani man stays asleep under the tree. But soon the dwarf wakes him up.

“Come to my house! There is gold and silver!”

“What good is your gold to me if what I'm looking for are my brothers?”

“They are there too!”

In the stone and wood house, the dwarf opens his chest. But the fourth romani man replies:

"It's my brothers I want!"

"Which what! You are now my prisoner, like them! Unless you answer the riddle correctly. Then, if you succeed, you will have your freedom and all my wealth! Otherwise, you will be my servant!”

"Deal!"

Answers the romani man.

“For you, I will have to make a very difficult guess, you scoundrel, who laughs at my beautiful gold and my beautiful silver! My mother has a sheet she cannot fold, my father a ball he cannot throw, my sister an apple he cannot bite, my brothers several marbles they cannot roll. Who are they?"

The young man bursts out laughing:

“You forget you're talking to a romani! We live outdoors in winter and summer! We listen to the sounds of nature, we know all the rhythms of the seasons, day and night are our companions. Do you have any idea how long I've had to dream on the grass, my head floating in the clouds? So, here's the answer to your riddle: it's about the sky, which is what covers us, the sun, which is what fixes us, the moon, which is what watches us, and the thousands of stars that play up there. , carefree and graceful as children’s marbles… Come on, pass me your gold and tell me where my brothers are!”

"No! No! You too will be my servant, and you will gain nothing!”

The gypsy gets angry, but the dwarf, despite being small, has incredible strength and starts hitting the young man.

The latter then remembers his three companions and whistles for a long time.

Soon, the fox advances against the dwarf and knocks him down, the wolf bites him cruelly and, with a single paw, the bear throws him through the air, but so high, so high that even God sees him passing by and is amused. So high, so high that he gets lost in the folds of the sky's sheet, the sun burns him and the moon laughs in his face...

As for the four brothers, they took all the treasure and, with the bear, the wolf and the fox, they walked away with their heads in the clouds...

I'm deep in the Bloom feels 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 🌱 🪴 Do you have any more info about them in this AU?

Hi anon,

You're in luck! This is the AU I think about every night when I'm trying to fall asleep, so there. is. a. lot. Pull up a chair, because this is gonna get long.

At the end of Grow, it's decided Ronan's moving to DC, but full-time cohabitation in a one-bedroom condo is an adjustment. There are many arguments over not replacing empty toothpaste, dwindling space because of Adam's habit of rescuing half-dead plants people left out with their trash, and the fair and equitable splitting of bills. But there's nothing Adam likes more than waking up every morning with his arm trapped and numb beneath Ronan because Ronan slept on it all night.

On Adam's fortieth birthday, they go out to dinner with Gansey and Blue, and on the drive home (Adam's driving the BMW, the only present he'd accept from Ronan) when they're stopped at a red light, Ronan takes Adam's hand, turns it over, and puts a ring in Adam's palm. Adam puts it on and keeps driving when the light turns green. They have a small little thing at the Barns a few weeks later.

They do move to a house, because you can't really raise a kid in a one-bedroom condo and Ronan kind of hates the landlord where he's renting space for his woodshop, so he wants a basement/garage where he can work. Finding a house is a whole thing (because have you seen house prices recently?), and Adam goes into "finance spirals" (as Ronan calls them) while he's doing everyday tasks, which result in the kitchen sink overflowing while he's washing dishes and burnt scrambled eggs while he's making Saturday morning breakfast. Ronan just turns the sink off/turns the stove off, takes Adam's face in his hands, and says, "We will be fine," until Adam believes it. They eventually find something in their price range in Northwest DC, because Ronan's mantra throughout their house hunt was, "I am not moving to Maryland."

When they turn their attention to acquiring a child, Adam's already prepared with legal contacts, paperwork on what his benefits from work cover, and details on every different type of adoption. The latter goes out the window when Ronan says, "I want them to be a Lynch." They find a surrogate and an egg donor, and, after nine months of Adam and Ronan being equally both excited and terrified, Maeve Parrish-Lynch arrives with a Lynch's blue eyes and curls, except her hair is brilliantly and shockingly orange. Ronan holds her first and cries, and Adam takes a lot of photos he'll never share with anyone.

Then there's a lot of them being girl dads as Maeve grows up, and Adam being an awkward (at first) and adoring parent, the exact opposite of what he feared he'd be. They go to story time at the library. They hunt for caterpillars on walks around the neighborhood and sometimes make homes for them in old tupperware so Maeve can see the caterpillar make a chrysalis, then they go out in their tiny yard and let the butterfly go once it emerges. They build paper mache volcanoes and make them explode with red food coloring, baking soda, and vinegar. (They do a lot of messy arts and crafts and Adam and Ronan probably have more fun than Maeve.) They get a cat (named Chainsaw, of course) when Maeve asks for one, and she and Chainsaw become thick as thieves. And (this is the first scene that came to be outside the bounds of the fics in the series) they take Maeve to see a blooming corpse flower at the USBG conservatory, and when Adam picks her up to take a whiff of it, she pinches her nose and says, "Ew, daddy," then she looks at Ronan and says, "Smell that."

That's probably far, far more than you were looking for, anon, but this AU lives rent free in my head all day, every day. I love it so much.
