Jolene Soriano, FASA 2020-21 Co-Social Chair
Tumblr media
Oh, hey FASA, didn’t see you there. It’s me, one of your co-social chairs this year, Jolene. You’re probably wondering how I ended up here. My story begins in a small town in the west side of Michigan where I had no real ties to my culture other than whatever my mom decided to cook up for dinner and the functions my parents had with the very few other Filipinos in Holland. I grew up always feeling a little out of place and always feeling the need to hide my culture from my friend group. When it came to my junior and senior year of high school, one of the biggest factors for me in deciding where to go for college was wanting to be in an environment where I could comfortably express myself and my culture. With that being said, I put in a deposit for Grand Valley State University, another predominantly white school. Not to bash on that school or anything, it’s a good school, it’s just I would’ve had a repeat of my high school days. Obviously, I did not end up going to GVSU and I ended up changing my mind and submitted my deposit for the University of Michigan the day before deposits were due. The biggest reason why I ended up changing my decision was because of the opportunities available at Michigan, that I couldn’t get anywhere else. One of these opportunities being FASA. So, when I got to Michigan, I waddled up to the table at Festifall, got info for their mass meeting, sat in on the mass meeting, ate some Insomnia Cookies, and ended up committing a large amount of time to the org.
For those of you who met me last year, you may know that at the first few events I ever went to I spoke a total of maybe five words. So you might be wondering how this literally silent person wound up as social chair, a position that requires speaking maybe more than five words. For this, you’ll have to thank Aber John Espinoza. I know I make fun of him kind of frequently (every chance I get), but I do genuinely have to thank him for providing a space in his Modern Tinik sets for me to finally get comfortable and start opening up to people. AJ’s naturally friendly and sociable personality allowed me, an unbearably shy individual, to start forging the bonds and friendships I have now. He was the one to kickstart whatever “sociable” nature I have in FASA. When I ran for social chair, the main thing I wanted to accomplish was creating a space similar to the 8PM to 10PM Modern Tinik practices in all of my social events and initiatives. I wanted to make sure everyone, new or old, had a place where they could express themselves and open up safely and start making those friendships in FASA that really will last a lifetime. Hopefully, that was something I was able to accomplish during my time in this position.
Tumblr media
modern tinik origin story s/o aj (black shirt in the back set of sticks)
Social chair was not exactly what I had expected, granted COVID did not help anything. The ideas I had originally envisioned were no longer feasible, and online events were the only thing that my co-chair Jason and I could do. After our first few online events in June with Independence Day Spirit Week, I disliked hosting online events. At first, the events felt awkward, there were lag issues, the list went on. However, we pushed ourselves to think outside of the box and committed to making these social events fun, even if they were virtual. It was not easy to say the least. We didn’t have anyone to ask about how to make an online event “fun” since no one’s ever had to pull one off, and even if we did have ideas that we wanted to do, they weren’t exactly always feasible online. Nonetheless, we were committed to making these events as fun as possible and the result of that were literally hundreds of meetings and thousands of hours spent over the course of the year. You may think I’m exaggerating that time, but honestly I don’t think I am. Not only were we busy with these events, we were also launching the first ever year long FAM competition-- POTTER. This initiative had its own set of challenges from making the rules, the scoreboard, points, keeping in communication with FAM heads, the list goes on and on. We juggled our events, POTTER, and all the other board responsibilities that were asked of us.
Tumblr media
welcomed the weekend with the best people
You could maybe say that we were a bit ambitious in our goals for our tenure, which might have caused us more stress than if we had just stuck to the traditional social events done. There could be some truth in that statement. I mean, we didn’t have to put in that level of effort into our events or into POTTER. But it would also be literally so embarrassing if we were that org and just did something basic like Kahoot at every social event. More importantly though, especially in the times of a panoramic and isolation, maintaining friendships and being social is crucial to one’s well-being. This is one of the main reasons why we worked especially hard. Although there were many instances where I questioned why I was putting in so much effort or allowing myself to incur so much stress, I feel rewarded at the end of the day. When I look back on the year and the things I’ve accomplished, I feel proud that I was able to do all the things I wanted and more. It also makes me feel good that I might’ve been able to create the same space AJ made for me. I would say that whatever stress or negative emotions I felt during my time on board was worth it.
FASA board has provided me with many invaluable experiences I wouldn’t trade for the world, from the countless midnight parties, boardie hangouts, stressful weeks and events, and meeting so many amazing people. FASA board has pushed me out of my comfort zone in a good way, forcing my introverted self to initiate conversations with awkward freshmen trying to navigate their way through their first year and leading zoom calls filled with many people. I’ve also learned the importance of teamwork, collaboration, and asking for help. It’s so easy to think “this is my event, so I have to do this on my own,” but in reality that’s just making more work for yourself. I’ve never been a part of a team that has worked so closely together, and I am so grateful I had the opportunity to have been supported by an amazing cast of characters.
Tumblr media
charlie ft. trad #charlie supremacy
Ok, so this is the part where I’m going to go through a list of thank yous and messages to certain individuals. To Board, I don’t think there are enough thank you’s in the world to express the gratitude for you all. You all have been there for me whenever I’ve needed it the most and helped me throughout all the tough times this year. You all are smashing individuals and I wouldn’t have wanted to work with anyone else this year. To AJ, thank you for being the foundation of my time in FASA. I don’t think you realize just how much your existence has impacted my journey in FASA and on board and without you I don’t think I would have had the experience I’ve had if it wasn’t for you. I will dearly miss you when you inevitably graduate and I will try to continue your legacy of making FASA a safe space for everyone. Ok, I think that it’s for all the sappy words for you we’ll go back to our regularly scheduled programming of roasting AJ. To Sean Herrera and Bea Fandino, thank you for being the boardie boomers I could always go to. I will always be grateful for Midnight Party being the thing that brought us all closer together and started a friendship that no one saw coming. Also, sorry for all the random and questionable texts I’ve sent at odd hours of the night, but I hope you were able to get some entertainment out of it. To Kristina Mallabo, thank you for always entertaining my shenanigans and driving me to Fuller when I don’t want to walk 20 minutes. You truly have become one of my best friends and I wouldn’t trade you for the world (except for my anime boys but that’s to be expected). Hmmm… I think that’s all for my messages and thank yous… LOL just kidding how could I ever forget to thank the one person who’s kept me sane throughout this entire year… Park Jimin <3
KIDDING! I’M KIDDING! The last person I’d like to talk about in this testimonial is none other than Jason Portugal. A somewhat unlikely friendship born from the 8PM to 10PM Modern Tinik practices and late night Victor’s Pushes at Mojo. Mr. Portugal has been one of my closest friends since I joined FASA, and I don’t think there was another person I would’ve wanted to run for social chair with. I was really lucky to have one of my best friends as my co-chair and go through thick and thin with him. I genuinely do not believe I would’ve been able to make it through this year without Jason. I would like to thank him for making all of the late night meetings, stress, and countless hours bearable, for all the laughs, memories, and shenanigans, and for being someone I can be vulnerable with. I don’t think I could envision a life without Jason Portugal and he is a pillar of my life that I could not go without. Thank you, Jason, for everything you’ve done for me this year and for working together with me to accomplish the things we’ve done. We did it.
Tumblr media
putting the “jj” in “jjk” (we love you kris)
Before I wrap this testimonial up, I’d like to write a message for next year’s socials. This board position is a lot of work, but I assure you that if you truly love what you’re doing, it’ll all be worth it in the end. I don’t think I can stress the importance of having fun with what you’re doing. You can’t expect general members at your event to have fun, if you’re not also having fun. The energy you give is the energy you’ll receive. Also, be sure to rely on your co-chair! You don’t have to be best friends or anything, but they are with you for your entire tenure and you go through so much together. Be sure to always keep in constant communication with each other! My wish for whoever carries on the social chair legacy is that they are passionate about instilling a welcome and safe space at every social event.
With that being said, I’ve come to the conclusion of this testimonial. I will miss working with everyone on board, contributing to FASA’s community through social events, and turning visions of event ideas into reality. I will not miss spamming the GroupMe with all of my announcement messages though. I’m looking forward to what next year’s board brings and am excited to participate in social events rather than planning them! Thank you FASA for allowing me to provide you with hopefully fun social events and activities this year. FASA has become such a large part of my life and I could not imagine my life without it. Maraming Salamat from the bottom of my heart.
Tumblr media
<3 you all are the best
See you around FASA!:)

Best story I wrote this year: Probably the night is softly, sweetly calling. I wrote this for the 18th of October, and it’s the much awaited third part of a Teen Wolf/Addams Family fusion that I wrote back in 2014. A lot of people have asked me to continue this series over the years, but I never did because I felt my writing style had changed too much and then I fell out of the Teen Wolf fandom completely. But I’d written another Teen Wolf fic a few days before (more on this later) and I was just... very nostalgic all of a sudden. My style of writing had changed, but to offset the change of tone, I wrote the story from Stiles’s POV instead of Derek’s and it made all the difference. I was pretty pleased with the result, and hope that it made everyone happy.
What’s your favorite story this year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you the happiest. patron saint of the lost causes. There were a couple fics that I think I did a really good job writing this year, the one listed above and below included, but I think that this one was my favorite. Writing Drarry was a surreal experience, because even when I was in the Harry Potter fandom I didn’t really write for it (well, I didn’t publish what I’d written for it) and I was surprised by how easily it came to me. I tried to channel a lot of the feeling of men who had mothers when I was writing this one, because it seemed very right. 
Okay, NOW your most popular story. All right, so technically my stats are all messed up this year because when I posted the third part of the Addams/Teen Wolf fusion, I also posted a chapter to Que Sera, Sera since so many people were subscribed to that story. So. From a purely stats standpoint, Que Sera, Sera was the most popular because it has a total of 25,790 hits, 2973 kudos, and 115 comments. BUT, I did not actually write anything new for that one so-
in the woods somewhere was the first fic I’d written for Teen Wolf since I wrote  take me to church in August of 2017. It has over 900 kudos and some 5000+ hits. When I decided to do Dark Month this year, I knew that I wanted to revisit some of my old fandoms, so Teen Wolf was always going to be a given. I wrote take me to church as a cathartic goodbye to the show, the fandom, and of course, Stiles and Derek. It was my soft epilogue for the boys.
in the woods somewhere has a very similar feel to it. It’s post-canon, obviously, and features Stiles buying a house in Virginia and Derek slowly working his way back into his life. It is also very much in the ‘soft epilogue’ genre, leaning heavily into the magical Stiles Stilinski trope while maintaining the FBI agent direction canon was leading us in. Also it has a lot of comfort things for me - judicious descriptions of food, a packed witchy cabin in the woods, and warm shower kisses. Story of mine most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion: Possibly either won't be too soon 'til I say... goodnight moon or all this, and love too, will ruin us. The first of these two fics is almost 5k of spooky season Riku/Sora that was strongly inspired by Uzumaki-sama’s old fic Goodnight Moon. It was the second day of October and my prompts for the day were moon cycles, nightmare, cage, lookalike, mirrors, and glowing eyes, which was just asking for fic exploring doppelgangers and old haunted houses. I loved writing it, and maybe I should have expected it since Kingdom Hearts is such a quiet fandom nowadays, but it honestly stung that it didn’t get more attention.
The second of those fics was a Reylo fic (yes, yes, I know, it’s an awful ship, etc. etc.) that was very much written to be slow and melancholy and kind of surreal. Sometimes my smallest fics are my favorite, and I really liked this one. But alas, some things were not meant to be.
Most fun story to write: I had a whole lot of fun writing summoning demons (and other bad first date ideas). A lot of the fics I wrote this year, particularly during October, were really fun and easy to write. I missed writing every day. This one in particular though was about 4k of Ryan accidentally summoning Shane (the demon) while Shane was standing right next to him in his human suit. It let me play with a lot of body horror tropes that I don’t explore usually, and Buzzfeed Unsolved is a very fun, fresh fandom to dig around in. This is the second of the three (I think it was three, at least) fics that I wrote for the fandom during October and I had so much fun with it.
Story that could have been better? I don’t know about better, but Sunlight and Bird Song were both supposed to be significantly longer. I wrote Sunlight shortly after watching Endgame, and it was always going to be me working my way through my issues with that movie (Loki not really coming back, weird wonky time travel, Thor leaving his people after his whole arc was him learning how to be a good king) but I got distracted and had to go somewhere that day and just never got back to it.
Bird Song is actually a fic I’ve been meaning to write for years. Ages ago (and we are truly talking ages ago, like September 2015 ages ago), @kaikamahine gave me a prompt for E, 17, and hymnal, which basically balanced out to Ronan, churches, and wings. So day 20 of October was going to be Raven Cycle (with such prompts as stacked deck, darkness, wings, and fight fire with fire, it was begging for it) and I was finally going to write Ronan wingfic. It was going to be great. There was going to be Calla and Ronan interaction and found family themes and there was going to be a church, because obviously, but then I wasn’t doing so well and ran out of time, SO. Definitely could have been better.
Story I wrote to fix things: beauty in the dissonance, the 24th fic of October, was a Tony/Loki flavored story where both Tony and Loki are, in fact, alive. Sunlight was written as a direct response to Endgame, even if it was never finished properly. make this chaos count was the 4th day of October, and written because I’m still not fucking over Ryan and Akmazian. And then knocking on heaven’s door was written just after viewing s3 of Stranger Things. It was uh, less of a fix it fic and more a wallow in your grief fic, but it still applies.
Oh, and a different kind of danger in the daylight was technically fix it fic? I’m generally okay with how Shades of Magic ended, despite my favorite character dying because it came off as a good death. However, the recipient of my Yuletide gift wanted no character death and I wanted to write something post-canon, so presto, fix it fic.
Longest completed fic this year: a different kind of danger in the daylight, followed by Cheers. Both are hovering between 6 and 7k, which isn’t technically long, but since about 90% of my fic this year was written over the course of a day each... I’ll take it.
Fandom you enjoyed writing for most this year: I had a lot of fun with Buzzfeed Unsolved and The Magnus Archives, but I also had fun dipping briefly back into Harry Potter and Teen Wolf.
Favorite character you wrote this year: I had way, way too much fun writing Geralt and Regis in eat you up whole. I have literally no idea if it translated into good fic, but it was fun and just shy of porny and I just really like Geralt. I also had a lot of fun writing Lila in the Shades of Magic fic.
Most memorable comment(s) this year: I got two comments from @kaikamahine about a week ago that honestly made my day. @faorism reread one of my older Stranger Things fics and left a comment, which made me reread it, which was just very good. Every single comment I got on the new Teen Wolf fics with some variation of ‘missed you’ or ‘so glad you’re back’ made me fucking melt. The two different comments where the reader wasn’t even familiar with the material, just read and enjoyed because I wrote it. The comment on one of my Stranger Things fics that just reads, “What the FUCK this SLAPPED.” The comment directly above that one that is from one of my favorite writers in the fandom. The several comments on the single PJO fic I wrote this year which were different variations of “oh my gosh it’s you” and “it’s been so long.”
And of course everyone losing their collective shit over some of the grosser October fics. Namely Itch.
Fics you wanted to write but didn’t: For the most part, the fics I wanted to write but didn’t are the same as last year- Sabriel AU, Enjolras/Grantaire fic, found family Dishonored fic, bodyswappying Reylo, Sterek Bioshock and Carmilla AUs which I am likely to post as is sometime next year. 
I still want to finish the Castlevania OT3 fic, the giant canon-divergent Bright Sessions AU where years after the series ends, Mark ends up running into Damien again in a small town in the middle of nowhere only to realize that he has a daughter, a farm, a life, and is just so drawn to it that he keeps coming back. I have the Wolf 359 post-canon fic where everyone has feelings and found family is a general theme and maybe Eiffel smooches an AI. I also have the smuttier Wolf 359 fic that’s been lurking in the back of my head for months where Eiffel and Kepler er, basically eiffel tower Jacobi.
Oh, and I have the Reylo fic where Rey (and Ben, through the bond) sit through General Organa’s funeral and keep coming back to each other afterwards. And that Final Fantasy 15 fic where Dino and Noctis do the nasty. And the Hera & Jacobi fic from October. And uh, the post episode 9 fic that’s been lurking about in my brain.
Oddest story: Probably i’d rather drown in your ocean? It was pretty spot on aesthetically for me, but it was weird to write Itachi and Shisui again, especially in a strange modern day vampire context? Also Itch and Nightmare were both Magnus Archive fics that were super gross (Itch) and just plain spooky and bizarre (Nightmare) but they were so fun to write. Hardest story to do: Cheers gave me some trouble initially but got a lot easier as I went on. I hit writer’s block pretty bad with the Shades of Magic fic too, but that seems to be what happens when I come up on deadlines. Easiest story to write? Most of October’s fics were a blast to write and super easy besides. Basically all of the Kingdom Hearts, Stranger Things, and Teen Wolf fic. And the Buzzfeed Unsolved.
Most mining of your own history in one story: Probably either  open the walls, play with your dolls or no more dreaming like a ghost. Not in any way that really matters, but there are a couple familiar details.
Themes, or absence thereof: Mostly either spooky scary things or fix it fics. Sometimes both.
Where did you publish/archive your stories? Ao3, as per usual. Story I haven’t yet written, but intend to: The only thing that I currently have planned is the post episode 9 fic and a couple things that I’ve had planned for a while that may or may not come out.
Sexiest moment (excerpt): “How many mouthfuls do you think I could take from you before it had some effect?” Regis whispers, lips against his throat. Geralt can feel the pinprick of fangs. “Four? Six? Ten? More, even?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know,” Geralt murmurs, and Regis laughs.
“I would,” he agrees.
“So, why don’t you find out instead of boring me with all the details?”
Regis pulls away from his throat, far enough that Geralt can meet his eyes again. He swallows at what he finds there. Amusement, yes, but also hunger, brighter than the moonlight reflecting in his eyes.
“A taste, first, I think,” Regis says in a low, cool voice, and then closes the space between them.
Geralt had forgotten the blood on his lip, but he remembers it when Regis catches him in an open-mouthed kiss. It’s wet and bruising, and Geralt is responding before he remembers he shouldn’t, fighting back the only way he knows how with the rest of him indisposed. He claws at him, bites at him, and the vampire laughs when Geralt catches his plump lower lip between his teeth and bites down. Regis gives his mouth one last darting swipe of the tongue before he is pulling away.
There’s a flare of color high on Regis’s cheeks and his ears are distinctly more pointed than they were five minutes ago, the sclera of his eyes gone red.
“Can’t say I’ve ever been bitten by a human before,” Regis tells him, leaning close like he’s divulging a secret. “It’s a rather exhilarating experience.”
“I’m all for a repeat experience,” Geralt quips, eyes narrowed. “Lean in just a little and we can see if I can manage to tear off your lips before you rip out my throat.”
.
“Please,” she whispers, and feels herself quiver like a taut bowstring when he touches her mouth gently, with the very tips of his fingers.
He smiles and leads her away, through the demons and goblins and fae that she came here to kill.
They make it as far as the parking lot before he is hitching her up the side of a gleaming Mercedes, hooking her legs around his shoulders, and hiking her skirts up over her thighs so he can duck his head beneath them. His fingers linger for a moment on the silver of the knives strapped securely to her thigh, and then he is reaching in, guiding her underwear to the side and getting his mouth on her, right where she wants it.
She must make some kind of noise, because he chuckles, tongue circling her clit in a slow, languid way that makes her think that he is savoring her, that he likes the taste of her on his tongue.And he must, because she knows what he is. Knows that just as he’s savoring the taste of her, he is eating her, feeding off of her want like the things that she hunts in the dark feed off of blood and marrow and souls. She knows, but it isn’t enough to stop her from tilting her head back, gasping for him, the distant wink of streetlights and stars so far away.
He makes her come with his mouth on her, with his fingers inside her, and even as she’s shaking around him, she knows that it isn’t enough. She wants more, wants to feel the heavy press of him inside around, wants to kiss his lips and taste herself on his tongue.
“Please,” she says, her thighs shaking, and he laughs, pulling away and easing her down, until her legs are looped around his waist instead of her shoulders. He reaches between them, and she knows what’s happening beneath her skirts, knows that he’s getting his cock out of his pants and pressing it against her, can feel it as he sinks slowly into her, the tight fit of it so sweet, so perfect that it makes her ache.
“You’re lovely,” he whispers, kissing her shoulders and fucking into her slow, a teasing stretch that makes her mouth water, makes her twitch.
.
“Is this what you wanted?” Hank jeers, one finger circling the rim of Connor’s hole. There’s a flush of angry blue across his cheeks. His hair is coming loose from its usually immaculate tail, curling against his forehead. His eyes are blue. His LED is not. “To lay back and take it? From a fucking machine?”
Connor whines, back arching as Hank dips the tip of his thumb inside, just enough to hold him open.
“That is it, isn’t it?” Hanks says softly. There’s a touch of triumph to his gaze as he fucks Connor open on his thumb. Something mean, too. Disdain, slowly unfurling in the curve of his lips. He shakes his head. “All this time, coming to this bar. Talking to me like you thought I was some kind of human, and you just wanted something like me to hold you up and take you apart.”
“No,” Connor gasps, but can’t help the twist of his hips when Hank adds another finger.
“No?” Hank says with a laugh. “Look at you.”
Connor’s cock jerks against his belly as Hank drags his pants the rest of the way down his thighs. They make it as far as his knees before they tangle, stuck on his shoes. His cheeks feel hot, and he- god, he wants to protest. Wants to say that Hank’s got it all wrong, that this is more. That he’s more.
But then Hank is flipping him over, until the arm of the couch is digging firmly into his belly, his ass high in the air. Hank pulls his fingers out, then leans over and spits, the cool slippery slide of the saliva trailing down the curve of his ass.
“All right, Connor,” he says. “This what you want? I’ll give it to you.”
No, Connor should say. It isn’t like that.
Instead, he says, “Please.”
Crackiest moment (excerpt):
“Did you just sneak into my house?” Stiles breathes, absurdly charmed.
Derek’s in his human disguise, everything dangerous about him hidden away from view, lurking just under the surface. He gives Stiles a look, and says, “Don’t be weird about it.”
He shuts the door behind him.
“I’ve got a nice monster knocking on my door just before the witching hour,” Stiles tells him playfully, making room for Derek to take a seat next to him. “How am I not supposed to be weird about that?”
Derek does something akin to rolling his eyes, the flames doing a little shimmy around the circumference of his eye sockets. He leans back against Stiles’s headboard, seemingly unconcerned that their sides are pressed together. Derek’s skin is very warm, human warm, and Stiles is all bones. He sucks up the warmth greedily.
“I’d say you make my heart pound, but well…” Stiles nods meaningfully to his chest, where if you look hard enough between the slots of his ribs, you can see the lump of muscle that once was his heart, pointedly not beating. “You know.”
.
“What’s the local legend about this thing?” Shane asks, hopping up onto the throne easily and spreading out, eyes on the night sky. He looks good. He always looks good, but Ryan likes him best like this, out here with the moonlight shining down on them and the camera catching all his best angles.
As Ryan watches, he blinks, and turns to look at Ryan, puzzled. “Ryan?”
Ryan clears his throat. “The locals say that if you make a wish while sitting on her throne, the witch will grant it.”
Shane gives him a wicked smile and hums a few bars of Genie in a Bottle. Ryan chokes out a laugh, crossing the space between them until he’s leaning up against the side of the throne himself.
Shane closes his eyes. “I wish, I wish with all my might, please dear god, let there be ghosts here this night.”
Ryan holds his breath.
“C’mon, ghost,” Shane urges. “Make all my dreams come true. Fuck me up, fam.”
All around them, the world is still.
Shane cracks an eye open and squints at him. “Did it work?”
.
“Jon?” someone asks, and Jon blinks.
Martin is standing before him. He’s wearing something out of another time, a costume of silken breeches with a well-cut waistcoat of a rich, opalescent blue. There’s a puffy cravat hugging his neck, and polished buckled shoes on his feet. Jon almost expects him to be wearing a wig, but his hair is the one thing that’s been left untouched, hanging loose around his chin.
“Martin?” Jon asks.
Martin seems to take him in, his eyes running slowly down Jon’s body, lingering at his wrists, his waist, his thighs. It’s a bold sort of move, one that Martin would never be half so blatant about if he were awake.
“You, er. Look nice,” Martin says, and Jon glances down at himself.
He’s sure that moments ago he’d been wearing the same thing he’d worn to the office, shabby coat, mostly clean shirt, a pair of nondescript trousers that didn’t have any stains. But now, he finds himself in a dress. The gown is long and brilliantly red, the skirts heavy around his thighs. There are embroidered patterns reminiscent of roses along the bodice and down the front of his petticoat.
“Well, shit,” he mutters, still staring. Experimentally, he moves his hips, and finds that the skirts swish obligingly with the movement.
“Yes, well,” Martin murmurs, cheeks flushing horribly. “You always did look rather good in red.”
“In red-” Jon repeats in horror. “Martin, I’m in a gown.”
Favorite dialogue (excerpt):
“Are you ever going to stop looking for me?” Akmazian asks him one night.
Ryan is tired. Akmazian is a shadowed figure in the dark that he tries not to look at too closely, because if he does, Akmazian will be gone.
“Maybe,” Ryan tells him, and turns over onto his side. Away from the shadow, the ghost.
The bed dips under the weight of a person who isn’t really there, and Ryan can feel Akmazian’s breath on the back of his neck, warm and damp.
“Don’t touch me,” Ryan says, and means, I don't want this to end yet.
“Wasn’t plannin’ on it, darlin',” Akmazian murmurs back, then drags his lips over the back of his neck anyway, just to be contrary. Ryan swallows, his throat dry, tongue thick in his mouth. He clenches his fingers in the sheets, eyes squeezed so tightly shut that his vision stains red behind his eyelids.
“Please,” Ryan says.
“You really should stop looking for me,” Akmazian tells him, fingers creeping across Ryan’s ribcage, mapping the architecture of his ribs.
“I know.”
“You’re never going to find me.”
Ryan laughs. “Never say never.”
There is silence behind him and then, “Ryan. Please. You’re hurting yourself.”
Ryan trembles a little when a hand lands on his hip, just this side of too solid.
“Don’t care.”
“You’re hurting the stars.”
Ryan is silent for a moment. Then, “I just miss you.”
A sigh.
“I know,” Akmazian murmurs, and leans over to place a kiss on Ryan’s forehead. “I miss you too.”
Ryan opens his eyes, turns to look, and like always, Akmazian is gone.
.
“Look,” Potter says, audibly slurring. “I’ve had an idea.”
Draco crosses his arms. “And what, pray tell, is this idea of yours, Potter?”
Potter leans forward, using a hand to prop himself up, until he’s well into Draco’s personal space. He smells like beer and whiskey, and his cheeks and jaw are more beard than stubble.
“Break your curse with me,” he breathes, a hand settling atop Draco’s blanket-clad knee.
Draco swallows. “I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.”
“No, look,” Potter says, leaning in even closer, eyes a bit wild. “We can just… you know.”
“No, Potter,” Draco tells him. “I don’t know.”
But he does. He really does.
“You know,” Potter says again. “Shag it out.”
“I think that you’re confusing things again,” Draco says tiredly. He sets the book on the nightstand next to him. “Remember the terms of the curse? Love, Potter. Not sex.”
Potter’s nose wrinkles. “But sex is part of love. Usually, anyway. It’ll work, I know it.”
“It won’t,” Draco insists, slapping Potter’s hand away when it begins to wander up his thigh. “Do you really think that I didn’t shag my wife before she left me? Because I did. We tried for years. Years, Potter. Trust me, if the curse were going to break because of a fuck, it would have happened well before now.”
Potter blinks at him, his eyes wide. There’s a ruddy flush on his cheeks, and Draco’s not sure if he likes it.
“We could at least try,” Potter says, almost gently. He doesn’t touch Draco again, but he looks like he wants to, hand trembling where it lays on the bedspread.
It feels like there’s glass in Draco’s throat. He is so, so tempted. Here is what he wanted - or at least part of it - Potter in his bed begging to fuck him, and he’s going to have to send him away.
“I think you should leave,” he tells him, and Potter’s mouth shuts with a click.
Favorite lines (excerpt):
“Relax,” he croons, stroking her fingers before he pulls away. “Your secret is safe with me. Most of this crowd knows that I’m not on speaking terms with that side of my family. They won’t suspect you because of me.”
Her face is flushed, either from rage or humiliation. Possibly both.
“So you-”
“Yes,” he says, fingers dropping to caress the fabric of her gown, swirling a thumb around the sweeping petals of an embroidered rose. His gaze is sly, a bit predatory when he glances back up at her. “I know what you have under this pretty skirt of yours.”
Rey’s breath catches, and she feels something- a slow trickle of heat seeping in to pool around her navel. She shifts, thighs sliding together, and hopes that he can’t smell her.
“Just as I know exactly what you’re doing right now,” she tells him in a hard whisper, jerking away from his grip on her elbow.
His eyes widen, affecting a look of innocence - a ‘who me?’ - that isn’t quite as effective when his lips are also curling up into a slow, pleased smirk.
“And what exactly am I doing?” he asks, his eyes laughing at her.
She glares at him. That seems to be enough of a reply, because he chuckles before taking possession of her arm again and pulling her smoothly towards the dance floor. Once they’ve reached the edge of it, he stops, dropping her elbow in favor of dipping into a low, courtly bow.
He looks up at her from under heavy lids, his hair sweeping forward to frame his face. “May I have this dance?”
The dance floor is crowded, full to the brim of masked people sweeping by in jewel-bright dresses and dark suits. She knows not to - knows that this place is a lot like fae courts of old. You don’t eat the food, you don’t drink the wine, and you definitely don’t dance.
But she’s already drank the wine, so she might as well dance.
.
The ship wrecks several hundred miles off of the coast of Karnaca. The storm that ends them is a rare sort, fiercer than most, a huge bank of dark clouds that seems to come from the void itself, blooming on the horizon like a warning. The lightning cracks the world asunder, thunder deafening, but it's the wind and waves that will always be a ship’s downfall.
Corvo watched the wave approach, saw its frothing white caps and the way it had stretched, higher and higher, until it loomed over the ship.
They never had a chance, and by the time the wave came crashing down, Corvo was already holding his breath.
Much of what he remembers after are mere snippets: the gulping suck of the water around him, broken pieces of the ship spinning by along with those of the crew who were unlucky enough to be caught by the ship’s pull, sucked down into the void, devoured by the whale god himself. He remembers his first gasp of air once he’d surfaced, the tang of brine and salt heavy on his tongue as wave after wave battered his body.
He doesn’t think that most of the crew survived the first few minutes much less the whole night, and he is certainly alone when the sun blossoms on the horizon hours later, clinging to a piece of ship the size of his torso and kicking relentlessly towards the dawn.
Corvo grew up on the coast, his hair stiff with salt from the ocean breeze. He grew up in and out of the water, hauling cargo or gutting fish on the docks. He’s familiar with the ocean - how the pull of the tides work, which days its best to avoid the dock, how to escape the sea’s wrath when a riptide or an undercurrent tries its damndest to drown you.
So he knows that his chances of making it to land are slim. But Corvo has always been stubborn, his legs have always been strong, and his story is far from finished.
.
Stiles buys a house in Virginia. It’s a modest thing close to Quantico, but not too close, tucked away into the heart of the wooded Appalachians. The bones of the house is all stonework and sturdy dark wood, a rickety wraparound porch bracketing the house on all sides. The first thing that he’d bought for it were two overpriced rocking chairs he’d gotten from the nearest Cracker Barrel.
Over the course of a year, he fills the house with things. A soft, dark gray sofa. Several solid end tables. A pair of emerald lamps he gets from an antique shop. A moss-green throw that is warm as a hug when it’s wrapped around his shoulders in the dead of winter. His living room is a bit too mountain man chic, but he likes the way that it looks when he’s coming home from a long day at the academy, warm and inviting.
He gets his bed set from a woodworker a couple dozen miles down the road, a man with a gruff bristled gray face and a warm smile, who trades Stiles the custom set for some warding and a couple bottles of what he calls, ‘miracle elixir.’ The set is sturdy mahogany, a pair of wolves carved across the top of the curving headboard, runes filling the gaps between them. The chest of drawers and dresser are just as solid, and Stiles has to hire movers to help him get everything back to the house.
The bulky rednecks decked out in worn flannel that help him with it carefully avoid looking at the runes of the headboard, their eyes skittering away from the carvings like frightened rabbits. They exchange apprehensive looks when they see the herbs drying over the sink in his kitchen, but to their credit, stay quiet and hightail it out of the place when he pays them. Here in the Appalachian backwoods, no one talks about magic, but everyone knows it exists.
Stiles has people over every once in a while - flies his dad and Scott in from California, has Lydia drive down from Boston, or Kira from North Carolina - but mostly, he’s alone. It’s a strange thing to get used to, the silence of the nights out here, where the night sky is bright and clear enough to see the stars above him, not a hint of light pollution to be seen, and the trees rustling in a quiet wind is almost louder than the hoots and hollers of the local wildlife.
He’d thought it would be lonely, and to be fair, sometimes it is.
Some nights he comes home and collapses back onto his sofa, and would do anything to be right down the road from Scott and Melissa and his dad again. He has days where he craves Melissa’s pozole or his dad’s meatloaf so badly that he can taste the heat of it on his tongue.
But mostly, the quiet is nice.
He cooks himself soups that simmer in the slow cooker while he’s at the academy and roasts that he makes on the weekends. He experiments with food the way he never used to back in Beacon Hills, where he had his dad’s heart to worry about if he made anything, and fast food which was easier to grab when he didn’t. He takes a world tour through his kitchen - homemade pierogi, hearty paella, steaming pirozhki, spicy-smelling curries, and hand rolled sushi. The first time that he makes his own bread in the ancient oven that came with the house, the smell of it coming fresh out of the oven is so good that he nearly cries.
It’s three winters into living there before he hears a scratching at his door in the middle of the night, and when he goes to investigate, finds a large black wolf on his doorstep.
It’s favoring one of its paws, dark fur matted on one side of its head where he can dimly make out a sluggishly bleeding gash. It blinks at him, eyes glowing a bright, familiar blue, and Stiles spends a minute watching it before he smiles and steps aside.
Fic goals: Hey Heather, it was only 800 words, but you did technically write something original. Now, let’s do something original that’s a little longer. And while we’re at it, let’s do something novel length.

Dance Dance Revolution
Welllllll the other night I couldn't sleep and wrote basically this entire thing in my head. It’s kinda based on how I feel about dance auditions and also slightly inspired by a dance moms clip I saw where the girls auditioned to be in a MattyB music video and it caused ~drama~. The reader description is kind of based on myself bc even though I’ve been dancing forever, I’m definitely bigger than a size 2 and it usually surprises people when I tell them about my dancing.
Fandom: Tom Holland (is this even a fandom anymore honestly)
Ship: Tom Holland x Reader
Setting: A dance studio, duh
Word Count: 2,144
Warnings: bratty teenage girls?
Rating: idk fam, but it’s pretty tame
Background: You are a dancer at a small company who does it for the pure joy of dancing. When your studio is chosen to be a part of Tom Holland’s next movie, tensions mount between dancers as each hopes to be selected to dance with him on camera. 
Yeah I’m really bad at summaries okay I’m sorry
 reader is at least 18, and maybe a sr in high school or a freshman in college.

You took a big gulp of water before wiping some sweat from your forehead. You and your 12 classmates had been given few minutes to recover from barre before heading to center port de bras. 
You were one of the advanced dancers at the studio, having been doing ballet since early childhood along with other genres like contemporary and hip hop. Unlike some of the other girls, though, you didn't necessarily “look” the part of a typical dancer. You weren't tall and flat-stomached, but it never hindered you from performing and advancing in skill.
As everyone began heading towards the center, the door was opened by none other than the studio owner, Alyssa. She had a wide smile on her face as she quietly shut the door behind her. She asked your teacher for permission to interrupt class a moment and then moved to the center of the mirrors. 
“Girls, I have an important announcement,” she began, causing everyone to look around in confusion as she continued. 
“Our studio has been selected to be filmed in a new movie starring Tom Holland!” 
With that exclamation, there followed gasps and squeals, and you couldn't help the smile that stretched across your cheeks and the butterflies in your stomach.
“Wait, wait. Now before you get too excited, I have one more announcement,” Alyssa interjected, exclaiming, “In only a couple short weeks, we will be hosting an audition for one of you to dance a duet with Tom, and even if you aren't chosen, all thirteen of you will still be onscreen in the class shots!”
Everyone started jumping around and squealing even more in excitement.
With that, she left you to the mercy of your teacher, and none of you could help but feel ecstatic about the situation as you finished up ballet class.
The following Saturday, you turned on your favorite playlist and began stretching in one of the smaller studios. Very few people other than Alyssa and the people working in the attached dance store would be at the studio today and you had been given permission to work alone. Being one of the oldest dancers at the studio definitely had its perks with opportunities like this.
You also knew that some of the people working on the movie would be meeting with Alyssa, so you hoped that you could be left alone for a while to just dance. 
After warming up, you decided to freestyle dance for a while, just moving and letting the music take over you. You combined contemporary and ballet moves, doing some turns and jumps along with floor work. 
When the song you were dancing to ended, you stopped to catch your breath and get water when you noticed some people peeking through the window watching. You blushed slightly as you looked down at your attire: black work-out leggings and a tank top, hair thrown messily into a bun with wispies sticking out everywhere. 
You ultimately decided to pause the music and step into the hallway to say hi, and you found Alyssa standing with four people: One woman, two middle-aged men, and Tom Holland himself. 
“Y/n, these are some of the most important people working on the movie,” Alyssa said as you shook hands with everyone.
“You looked amazing in there,” the woman commented, garnering praise from the other people as well. 
“Thank you, that means so much! Honestly, I really wasn't even dancing, that was just some improv,” you explained.
“I can’t imagine how lovely it’d be to see you perform choreo, then,” Tom added, causing you to chuckle in reply. 
“I think I can speak for everyone here when I say that I hope you'll be auditioning in a couple weeks,” said one of the men. You nodded and said, 
“Of course, but I’m sure there will be stiff competition. I think we’ll make the choice hard for you all!”
With that, you bid them adieu and reentered the studio, pulling up a playlist of songs that you had choreographed dances to. You performed one of your favorite contemporary pieces, one that you would be doing in an upcoming show.
After finishing, sweaty and a little tired, you accidentally made eye contact through the mirror with Tom, who sent a wink before following Alyssa and the group down the hall to her office.
---
Two days later, you were getting ready for class and filling a water bottle when one of the other girls came up to you.
“I heard you got a head start on the audition,” she stated, arms crossed. 
You looked around and furrowed your brows.
“Um, I mean, I had some private studio time this weekend and the people touring with Alyssa saw me dance for a minute. Even if they had watched me a lot, though, I’m sure none of the people there will be on the audition panel.”
She gave you a look before answering with, “I guess we’ll just have to see,” then turned and walked into the studio.
---
Two weeks later, you were standing nervously in the waiting room, wearing a black leo and tights, a paper number “11″ pinned to your stomach. 
Over the past few weeks, tension had become thick with the day’s impending audition, and the girls (and some of the guys) of the studio had split on whether or not you had somehow cheated by accidentally meeting the movie heads. Along with the advanced dancers, some of the intermediates that were allowed to audition had also been swayed to see you as the bad guy.
Thankfully they hadn't discovered that you met Tom, and a good majority of people stuck by you. 
Finally everyone was called into the main studio for the ballet audition and you felt your stomach drop when you saw the panel: Tom, the other 3 people that you met, and two people that you guessed were choreographers. Alyssa was also sitting in and your teacher would be running the audition.
Alyssa then asked the panel to introduce themselves from left to right, starting with Tom, the director (the man that asked you to audition), executive producer (the other man), the casting director (the woman that complimented you), and the head and assistant choreographers.
You suddenly felt extremely nervous. Alyssa was right, the four people you had danced for really were the most important people in your life right now, and after everyone settled at the barre, the audition began.
Tom’s eyes caught yours for a second in the middle of your plie combination and he grinned, causing you to perform more and gain some confidence. 
A few hours later, you had gone through ballet, pointe, contemporary, hip hop, and musical theatre auditions and everyone was waiting for call backs. With some of the studio still split, you moved to the back of the room and talked with one of the guys that you were close with. 
The guys had also auditioned because they would be in the class scenes, even if they weren't doing a duet with Tom, per say (although the idea of any of those guys doing a major piece with Tom was kind of funny to imagine).
You leaned in and whispered into his ear, 
“The three people closest to Tom were the ones that watched me dance a few weeks ago.”
He raised an eyebrow at you.
“There’s more. Tom was there too, and he obviously recognized me. But you can't tell a soul about this,” you threatened, earning a nod in confirmation. You talked for a while longer until Alyssa came out holding a folder.
“Alright everyone! You are all going to be in the film, but unfortunately only one can be the lead. Right now, I only have one callback number but please stick around for a little bit if you aren't called just in case. The lucky number isssss...” she said pausing.
You looked at the girls around you, guessing who it would be. It was most likely going to be one of the girls with the ballerina bodies and model-level faces. You crossed your arms as Alyssa called out,
“Eleven!”
You looked around trying to remember who 11 was when you felt a nudge. Your friend was elbowing your side and he said 
“Y/n, that’s you!” 
You were shocked and finally stuck an arm up to alert Alyssa that it was you. As you walked past the girls, you heard the naysayers grumbling, whispering “told ya so!” and “I can't believe this!” to each other while your friends encouraged you.
The panel stood as you entered the room, Alyssa shutting the door promptly behind herself to keep everyone else out while you went to shake everyone’s hands.
The panel praised you for your performance and asked that you and Tom would partner a little bit to make sure you fit well. They especially liked that you were shorter than him, even in pointe shoes, and hoped that you danced similarly. 
He came around the table in black joggers, a grey t-shirt, and some black ballet flats, ready to dance. The head choreographer asked you mostly to do contemporary steps, like you rolling over his back and some floor slides.
She then asked that you did a lift to see what both of you were capable of. That’s when you felt really nervous. Other than when you were a small child, you had never been the person picked up in lifts, and actually, because you were pretty strong, you were almost always the base for lifts.
You were about to protest when Tom swept you off your feet, lifting you easily into a bridal-style carry. Your arms instinctively wrapped around his neck and you squealed, eyes suddenly meeting his, inches away. He smiled and smoothly whispered,
“Don’t you trust me, darling?”
You smiled and nodded, and he put you down carefully. The choreographer then asked you to stand with your left leg in an arabesque while Tom stood behind you. He hooked his left elbow under the upper part of your thigh and wrapped his right arm around your stomach.
You were hyper-aware of his touch and he made sure that you were alright before you tried to jump while he lifted. The first attempt, you jumped too early and he lifted too late, causing you both to fall over and erupt into laughter, apologizing a hundred times to each other.
The second attempt though, you both were in sync, and when he got you up, you positioned your legs into a fish lift as he spun you. At the end, he dipped you into a fish dive, then gently set you down into your splits and you spun on the ground, standing to face him.
The panel clapped and murmured before the casting director finally exclaimed four fateful words,
“You've got the part!”
As Alyssa and the panel figured out paper work, you turned to Tom.
“We never properly met, I’m y/n.”
He smiled and replied,
“I know. I asked Alyssa about you that day we toured. I couldn't keep my eyes off you then or today. You’re quite the talent.”
You blushed as the two of you got to know each other, excited that you would be dancing with the man you had been crushing on for ages.
---
After the casting process, there were two weeks of rehearsals for both the company and yours and Tom’s duet. Most of the girls ended up letting go of the idea that you had “cheated” and instead became overcome with excitement. 
You and Tom had enjoyed your private rehearsals together and when the day for shooting came, you felt so comfortable with Tom that you almost forgot there were other people in the studio.  At the end of the day, both of you were exhausted and sweaty, but extremely happy with the result.
You were now sitting on the ground by your dance bag, untying your pointe shoes and wiggling your toes, relieved to finally free your feet. Suddenly you felt a warm hand on your shoulder and you turned to find Tom smiling at you.
“You were incredible, love,” he said as he helped pull you to your feet. His arms wrapped around you into a sweaty hug. Into your neck he said, “I can’t wait to bring you to the premiere.”
You pulled away, surprised.
“The premiere? What do you mean?” you questioned as he smirked.
“I want you to be my date to the premiere. Of course, that’s months away, so maybe you could settle with dinner for now?” he asked, looking up innocently.
A laugh bubbled out of you and you nodded.
“Tom Holland, I would love nothing more than to have dinner with you, no premiere required.”
With that, you began a happy relationship that resulted in many, many dates, including more than just one movie premiere.

I saw Endgame
And overall I liked it, although I think I liked Infinity War more. I really want to make a long post detailing all my feelings in a coherent way, but I’m not sure I’m in the headspace to do it now, and I can’t do it at a later date because the memories won’t be as fresh, so I’m just going to make a list that might be all over the place beneath the cut (with TREMENDOUS SPOILERS, obviously).
Things I Loved:
Peter was the catalyst for Tony deciding to help with the time machine business. This isn’t specifically stated, it’s not said out loud, but it didn’t have to be. Tony turned Steve and the others down. He flat out refused to help them. But when he caught sight of that photo of him and Peter? When he remembered just who he had lost? That was when he decided to see if he could find a way to make time travel work. Peter was his motivation. I think that for the most part he was repressing his grief over Peter (and more on that in a bit), but he couldn’t repress it entirely, not when a photo of Peter being so exuberant and happy was staring him right in the face. If there was any glimmer of hope at getting Peter back, Tony was going to take it. Yeah, he cared about the trillions of others, too---but Peter was the catalyst, Peter was the reason he was willing to take the risk, and I loved that.
THE REUNION HUG. Honestly, this should have been first on my list, but I’m not going to erase the above paragraph. GOD, if I don’t get ten million gifsets of both that hug, and also how it’s development from the “this is not a hug, we’re not there yet” scene in Homecoming, I’m going to lose my mind. Fuck, the fact that Tony couldn’t even speak, the fact that he just pulled Peter into his arms and hugged him so tightly, hugged him tighter when Peter said “this feels nice” was just everything to me. I could watch that for ten hours. Also, Peter’s rambling preceding the hug was fucking adorable.  “Do you remember when we were in space? And I got all dusty and then I must have passed out or something because I woke up and you were gone, but Dr Strange was there and he said five years had passed and we had to go---”  NO WONDER TONY HUGGED THE BUHJEEZUS OUT OF HIM. HE HASN’T HEARD THAT RAMBLING FOR FIVE YEARS, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HE MISSED HIS BOY? NO WORDS NEEDED TO BE SAID THERE. THAT HUG SAID IT ALL. 
Peter in general, honestly. Tom Holland didn’t get to do very much in this movie, for obvious reasons, but he stole every single goddamn scene he was in. The reunion rambling, everything he said while he had the gauntlet and was trying to get it to the van, THE FACT THAT HE GOT A MOMENT WITH PEPPER WHERE SHE SAVED HIM, his scream when he was on Valkyrie’s pegasus, and of course the heartbroken sobbing when Tony died. I do wish that Tony had been more coherent at that point, that he’d been able to tell Peter that he was proud of him, and I also kind of wish that Peter hadn’t called him “Tony” because I’m going to be real with you, I like how he calls him “Mr Stark.” But everything else about it was perfect, including the bit where Rhodey had to pull Peter away because Peter was just falling to pieces. (And note, I mean as perfect as it can get given that Tony died, but you know.)
The fear in Thanos’ eyes when he headbutted Carol and she didn’t even FLINCH. I do have some issues with Carol’s (lack of) involvement in this movie, which I’ll get to later, but while it was unrealistic that Thanos got the jump on her at any point (please), the fact that she didn’t flinch when he headbutted her and just the TRUE FEAR IN HIS EYES KJFDSKFJDS. GOD. I love Carol so much. Oh Captain, My Captain.
Morgan requesting a cheeseburger, just like her daddy, and Happy saying he’ll get her all the cheeseburgers she wants. I don’t even have anything to add onto this. It just made me cry even more than I already was.
Loki stealing the Tesseract (AGAIN) as a way to bring him back. Apparently Loki is going to be in a new TV show streaming on Disney’s service (whether it’s the same one Sam and Bucky are going to have, I’m not sure), so this was a clever way to ensure that Loki can make a comeback in the future without having to have found a way to revive him, and only him, from Infinity War. Of course, this also means that the Loki we see in the TV show or whatever won’t have any of the character development post-Avengers, which is . . . eh . . . but it’s better than having him be permanently dead, I guess. (Also, did anyone tell Thor this happened? No? Someone might want to fill him in so he can be cautious when picking up snakes for the foreseeable future.)
Thor getting Mjolnir back, and then dual wielding. Though the dual wielding was more temporary than I would have liked (more on that in a bit, too), I love dual wielding so I was happy to see him doing it, and also I love Mjolnir (a.k.a. “mya-mya”) so I was happy to see that back, too. It put a definite smile on my face.
Valkyrie being the new Queen of Asgard. No offense to Thor, because I get that he was going through a lot, but he was also being a terrible king, particularly since I don’t think he ever really wanted to be king, anyway. Like he accepted the duty because he felt he had to, not because he wanted to, and so I think it’s good that he’s going to get out there and see new parts of the universe (and hopefully clean himself up some, and also not actually answer to Quill because I mean, come on). That said, Valkyrie was the one keeping everything in order, and she deserves to be queen. I love her. I’m so happy for her.
All the ladies coming forward to back up Carol. I mean, Carol doesn’t really need backup, but I looooved seeing all the ladies assemble ready to beat some fucking ass. The MCU has such powerful women and a good number of them, too, and I love that that was highlighted in that moment of this film. It was a great moment.
Nebula’s character development. She’s had such an arc despite being in so few movies and I love it. I loved how invested she was in the paper football game she played with Tony. I love how she took care of him, even in gentle ways such as moving him off the floor and onto a chair. I love how she killed her past self in order to save Gamora without a second of hesitation, as well as how she talked Gamora into turning against Thanos long before it happened in the timeline we know. (On that note, I’m fine with how they’re keeping Gamora in the picture, and I laughed at her “whomst” expression when Quill approached her jkdlsfds.) Nebula had a great arc and I loved it, although I can’t believe she didn’t warn Natasha and Clint about how they’d have to get the Soul Stone. Like, she knew. Why didn’t she say anything?
Sam getting a private goodbye with Steve, and having the shield passed onto him. I’m okay with the fact that Steve did get a happy ending. I always shipped him with Peggy and I think that, overall, he was just not happy in our time period, even if he had some moments of happiness, so I think that being able to go back in time and live the life he actually wanted was a good ending for him. But I’m also glad that Sam got that private goodbye, as well as the shield, because Sam goddamn deserved that after everything he’s been through and everything he gave to Steve’s cause. Sam doesn’t get enough respect in-universe or out of it, so I was glad to see him get this. On that note, I also like the fact that Bucky knew before Steve even left that Steve wasn’t coming back, and that he was the one to draw Sam away and point him to where he needed to be.
There’s probably more that deserves to be in this list, but these are the only things I can think of right now. More can always be added later, especially if / when I see the movie a second time.
Things I’m Okay With:
Tony’s death. I know this sounds like a weird thing to be okay with, but hear me out. Obviously, my preference would be for Tony to be alive, and still making appearances in future movies, such as Far From Home. But the thing is, we already know that he’s not going to be in Far From Home. He’s not in any of the trailers, it’s been confirmed again and again that he’s not in that movie. We know that Peter is still involved with Stark Industries and the Stark family, but Tony himself is not around. And fam, the only way that makes sense from a character standpoint is if Tony is dead. Tony retiring from being Iron Man wouldn’t necessitate him taking himself out of Peter’s life. He just wouldn’t do that, not after he already lived five years without him because of the snap. So if Tony were alive, but he just decided, “I’ve got my own kid now, I don’t need Peter anymore”? That would be so disgustingly out of character I’d drop all future movies in . . . well, a snap. So in that sense, I’m okay with Tony dying since RDJ didn’t want to do any future movies, and if he’s not doing future movies and isn’t going to be in Peter’s life anymore, then the only way that makes sense without assassinating his character is to assassinate him. It’s sad and I cried, but at least this doesn’t destroy Iron Dad & Spider-Son, which, as selfish as this may sound, is what’s most important to me. I can live with this, especially since fanfic exists for this very reason.
Carol’s lack of presence in the movie. This is very nearly a “Thing I Didn’t Like,” but I’m putting it here because I understand it. Thing is, Carol is too strong for Thanos. Carol could atomize Thanos if she was allowed to do so. And forget Thanos; Carol could take out literally every member of his army in a second if she was allowed to do so. The thing is, that also takes all stakes out of the movie, as well as negates the need for Tony to make the heroic sacrifice he did. And while they did weaken her a little and let Thanos overpower her for a second (unrealistic tbh), they couldn’t weaken her enough to conceivably have her not end that battle, and as such they just took her out of the movie entirely, for the most part, with the excuse that “other planets need me and they don’t have you.” And like, again, I get it. Carol is too OP. If she stuck around the movie would have been a lot shorter. But at the same time it bummed me out because she’s my favorite hero, so I did want to see her doing more things than what she was allowed to do.
The lack of quantity of Iron Dad & Spider-Son. Don’t get me wrong, quality wise it was almost perfect. The only way it could have been more perfect would be if Tony had managed to tell Peter that he was proud of him while he was dying (especially since Peter apologized to Tony, meaning that Peter blames himself for Tony’s death), and if, when telling Steve that they had to keep what they’d gained in the past five years at all costs, Tony had explained his reasoning as, “I already lost one kid. I’m not gonna lose another.” My entire year would have been made had Tony said that line. The literal entire thing. But while the quality was great, I do wish that we could have felt Peter’s presence more in Tony’s life. Like, again, Peter was the catalyst for Tony getting involved at all, and that was great, but I just wanted . . . more. There was a lot going on in this movie, and I get that, and there’s also the fact that I got the feeling that Tony repressed what happened with Peter hard over the past five years, that he had to repress it or else he wouldn’t have been able to function. Like part of me was surprised that no one brought up Peter when they were trying to get Tony to help with the time machine, but at the same time I also think that Steve at the least knew they’d get hit if they did that. But I felt a lot of repression going on, repression that was ripped off once Tony caught sight of that picture, but at the same time once that repression was ended I kind of wish the floodgates had opened. I wish that Tony would have had the line about not wanting to lose another kid. I wish that when thinking about time traveling back to New York, there would have been a moment when Tony would think about returning to New York during a time when Peter Parker was still alive. I wish that Tony would have made mention after Bruce’s snap about Peter being stuck in space, or that he would have told Peter at the end that he was proud of him, or that Peter would have been present during the final message hologram, and so on and so forth. I’m okay with what little we got because it was excellent, there was a lot going on, and also Tony was repressing (with the floodgates truly opening once Peter was babbling in front of him again), but since this was our absolute last chance to get Iron Dad & Spider-Son with both of them alive, I really do wish we had gotten more. I’m okay with it, but I’m still kind of sad.
Bruce being Hulk physically all the time now. This is also almost a “didn’t like,” because it’s just . . . weird . . . but I’m also okay with it, I guess. He reminded me of Beast from X-Men, and I didn’t really see a reason for him to be like this, especially since we’re just told how he got to that point, rather than shown. It was just kind of . . . weird. It could have been done better.
Thor traveling with the Guardians. I kind of hope this is just a temporary thing, because as I mentioned, I don’t very much like the idea of him answering to Quill, and I also feel like he’s less of a team player and more of a solo artist. I’m okay with it for now because at least he’s not dead or wallowing anymore, and also it means that Valkyrie gets to be Queen of New Asgard, but I really hope it’s just temporary because he deserves more than to be just another crew member on that ship.
Again, more could probably go here, but this is what I’ve got for now.
Things I Didn’t Like:
Steve wielding Mjolnir. I get that this was a callback to Age of Ultron, and specifically the scene where they all tried to wield Mjolnir and couldn’t, but it did tremble a bit under Steve’s grasp, but I didn’t like it. I don’t hate Steve, by any means, but particularly after all that shit in Civil War I don’t think he’s worthy, and it also doesn’t make a lot of sense to me that he just magically knows how to flawlessly use Mjolnir with no practice or training. Sure, Thor picked it up quickly, but Thor is also an Asgardian. It doesn’t make sense that Steve, a human, would know how. And also, Thor’s “I knew it!” was strange, considering he seemed anxious about the possibility of Steve being able to wield Mjolnir in Age of Ultron. Like it was just . . . I didn’t like it. Especially since it cut so much into Thor’s dual wielding time. On that note . . .
Thor. Just . . . Thor all around. Aside from how his “let himself go” look was his look for the entire movie, I felt like his portrayal in this movie was really . . . shallow, flat, and lacked all of the emotional weight he carried in Infinity War. Like in Infinity War he was raw with grief, he’d just lost everyone, and you could feel that in every action he took. And yeah, he felt that he failed at the end of that movie, even though he did kill Thanos, so it makes sense that he’d need time to process that grief. But five years of processing led him to lose all the emotional weight he had originally. Like, we were supposed to get the feeling that this was Thor grieving, but it just didn’t feel that way. Moreover, it felt like they were trying to bring in Ragnarok flavored humor with him, but it didn’t work because it didn’t fit the tone of the movie. I usually love Thor, he’s always been one of my faves, but I just was not vibing with him in this movie. The dual wielding was cool, as was his excitement to get Mjonir back, but the rest of it? Bleh.
Natasha’s death. I mean, I get it on some level. I get that she didn’t have a family to go back to, whereas Clint did. I get that Scarlett Johansson probably didn’t want to do any more MCU movies / her contract was up. But that doesn’t make me feel any more okay that yet another woman was fridged so that Clint could have some manpain. It doesn’t make feel any more okay that a character who actually routinely did things and contributed in these movies (Nat) was sacrificed for one who pretty much never does anything ever (Clint). To be fair, far more male characters were removed from the cast in this movie than female ones, but that doesn’t make this jive with me any more. I was totally rooting for Clint to bite it instead. Like let him do something for once in these movies, ffs.
Harley being present at Tony’s funeral. Look, I’m going to be honest: Harley had no reason to be there. I get that he was in Iron Man 3 and that he was like the prototype for the Iron Dad we’d all come to love, but that’s the thing: He was the prototype, he was like foreshadowing. From a narrative perspective, Harley’s purpose was to foreshadow how Tony was with kids, so that when he met Peter in Civil War and came to bond with him over the course of the following films, we’d be able to see where that paternal side of Tony came from. There’s a reason why Harley was not seen or mentioned after Iron Man 3, and it’s because his narrative purpose was fulfilled, and therefore Tony presumably didn’t have any further contact with him after that. And I mean, no offense to those who liked Harley or his role in Iron Man 3, but the Tony & Harley relationship was not the one that was developed over the course of the following movies. Again, he wasn’t shown, nor was he even mentioned. Instead, it was Tony & Peter in Civil War, Homecoming, and Infinity War. Harley might as well have not even existed. The only reason I even recognized him was because I knew ahead of time that he was going to be in the film. My best friend (who I saw the movie with) didn’t even recognize him and was wondering who tf he was. So to that end, I just . . . I don’t think it was necessary for him to be there. Like it felt more like a move for us, the audience, of them saying “see, Tony impacted all these people, everyone who was important at some point in his life is there.” But it didn’t even really work that way because the funeral was so small and private. So it just seemed really random for Harley to be there, when he hasn’t been relevant at all since Iron Man 3. And I know it’s not that big a deal and I honestly wouldn’t care, except every time I see something about “Morgan and her big brother Harley” or “Tony’s three kids” I can’t help but roll my eyes because, no. There was nothing post-Iron Man 3 that would lead us to believe that Tony considered Harley to be like a son to him. The fact that Harley was standing awkwardly way in the back at the funeral, instead of up front where Peter and Morgan were, says it all. If Harley had been present in movies following Iron Man 3 and we actually saw his relationship with Tony on-screen, okay, fine. But that’s clearly not the case, and wasn’t even in the case in this movie (like he was clearly not around for those five years!) so it just . . . I don’t know. It felt really unnecessary to me. I’m not a fan. (And I know some people are like, “He’s going to pick up the mantle from Tony, he’s going to be Iron Lad!” which gets a very hard no from me, for two reasons: 1.) If anyone is picking up the torch from Tony, it’s Peter. Peter has been Tony’s protégé for the past several movies, Peter is the one that the Russos have specifically said had a father-son relationship with Tony, Peter is the one that Tony made tech for and trained, the one who was sobbing by his side when he died. If anyone is picking up the torch from Tony, it’s Peter. 2.) If it’s not Peter, it’s Tony’s biological daughter Morgan. Yes, she’s too young now, but give her some time and she’d make a fantastic Iron Lady, or even Ironheart if they don’t want to introduce Riri. Morgan has far more reason to pick up that mantle than Harley does, just like Peter. Send Harley back to Tennessee where he belongs and stop acting like he’s super mega important when he clearly wasn’t important enough to even get name dropped after his initial appearance in any of the movies before this one. Jesus.)
Thanos going from “you drew blood from me, I respect that” to “you keep resisting me so I’m going to enjoy killing you.” Like, it just made him seem so petty? I feel like it would have made more sense for him to make the jump to “I’ll kill EVERYONE and make a WHOLE NEW UNIVERSE this time” if his rationale was “I can’t have anyone around trying to undo what I do.” It would have felt more in line with his characterization from Infinity War. I get it, Thanos is a sociopath, no one is arguing with that. But he wasn’t a petty sociopath in Infinity War, so it feels a bit disappointing to me that they made him such a petty, smug bastard in Endgame. I liked him more when he was acting like a Well-Intentioned (In His Mind) Extremist than a Petty Purple Bitch.
And once again, there could possibly be more here, but this is all I can think of for now.
All in all, I did like it, just not as much as I liked Infinity War, and that probably has to do with (as I said) the fact that Infinity War had more Iron Dad & Spider-Son content / interactions, and that’s my favorite relationship in the whole MCU, so obviously I’m going to prefer the movies where that’s a bigger focus. But I did like Endgame well enough all the same, and I can’t wait for Far From Home this summer. And on that note, some wishes for it:
The reason why Peter doesn’t have the Iron Spider suit in Far From Home is because it hurts too badly to wear / he doesn’t feel like he deserves it after what happened to Tony. I want to see his grief over Tony’s death brought up.
An AI / hologram message that Tony made for Peter at some point.
May to not date Happy, but instead to bond with Pepper, and for them to eventually find love again in each other’s arms and get married so that Peter and Morgan can be official stepsiblings. (Like Peter is Morgan’s big brother anyway, but this would make it Official™.) Happy can date someone else. (Also I know that May is Peter’s aunt and not his mom, technically, but come on. She might as well be his mom.)
But that’s it for now. Time to go nurse the pain with some fics (including potentially a couple of my own.)

One Night Later
Tumblr media
Request: I was wondering if it’s ok with you but to request something like that where tom and the reader both actors on infinity war but they don’t know each other very well due to the fact that they rarely filmed together one drunken night and the reader becomes pregnant but doesn’t bother to tell tom  cause he finds out through RDJ (that’s her dad if ya don’t mind).
A/N: Sorry this took forever, but I hope y’all like it fam! I adore my sweet baby Tom so much. Taglists and requests are open! xx
Pairing: Tom Holland x Reader
Word Count: 2.4k
Warning: Some Language, Drinking, Pregnancy (not really warnings, but if you don’t like those things, you’ve been warned)
PART II
MASTERLIST
Y/N let out a long yawn as she stretched her legs and rolled over onto her side. She opened her eyes for a moment and saw that it was still dark in the room, and opted to go back to sleep - she wagered she still had a few hours before she needed to get up.
Her heart nearly stopped when she felt movement from behind her and an arm was suddenly swung over her waist. Her eyes snapped open as she tried to think who this could possibly be. Slowly, Y/N turned back over, trying with all her might to not wake the other person, only to be met with the sleeping form of Thomas Stanley Holland.
“Oh fuck, fuck, fuck,” she whispered more to herself as she tried to think back to the events leading up to this. Groaning lightly to herself, the memories slowly started flooding back to her.
She had just finished filming a scene with Tom, the only one she ever really had with him, and was getting ready to head back to her trailer when Tom had stopped her, holding lightly onto her wrist.
“Hey Y/N,” his smile was intoxicating, she thought to herself as she felt her cheeks heating up, “some of us were going to the new bar downtown tonight. I was wondering if you’d like to come?”
Y/N was taken aback for a moment, both shocked and delighted that he, the boy she had had a crush on for what seemed like ever, had even thought to ask her, “yeah, definitely! Count me in.”
And that’s how it all started. One drink led to another, and another, and another, until both of them had lost count of how many drinks they had consumed. Soon after, their thoughts and words flowed freely, all inhibitions gone out the window. One thing had led to another, stolen kisses had turned to more desperate movements, and before they were aware of it, they had ended up together in Tom’s bed.
Y/N bit her lip, before sliding out from under his grip before grabbing her clothes as quickly as she could and sneaking out of his room and slipping out into the night.
The hot sun was beating down on Y/N’s back as she laid out by the pool. One of the perks of living in Southern California was definitely the year round warm weather.
She perked up when she heard footsteps approaching her. Lifting up her head, she saw her father, Robert, walking towards her, an unhappy expression on his face. She didn’t think much of it, he always had a tendency to be dramatic after all.
“Y/N Downey,” he stated curtly as she stood up and faced him, “we need to talk.”
“Ohh you’re using the full name, how scary!” she laughed at him but quickly saw that he wasn’t in a joking mood, “what’s up, Dad?”
“Do you want to explain this to me?” he asked as he held up a bright pink box , she thought she had stashed well enough in the trash can. Her heart plummeted into her stomach as she fear overtook her - he knew.
“Uhhhh,” she sighed and scratched the back of her neck, “it’s not what it looks like?”
“Is this yours? Are you pregnant?” he asked in a low voice, sounding more concerned than anything. She met his eyes as she fought to hold back her tears. She knew there was no point in lying, he already knew.
“Yes,” she sighed as she hung her head, “yes, it’s mine and yes, I’m pregnant. I’m sorry, Dad. I-I don’t know what to say.”
“Honey, please don’t be sorry, don’t apologize,” he said quietly as he wrapped his arms around and held her tightly, “I know you’re an adult and can make your decisions, but I want you to know that I just worry about you and I want what’s best for you. I don’t want you to feel like you have to keep secrets from me. You’ll always be my baby girl and I’ll always be here for you.”
“I never thought this would happen, Dad. It was an accident,” Y/N said quietly as she wiped away the tears that had escaped her eyes and fallen down her cheeks. She thought back to those few months ago with Tom and how it had all been one big mistake, “it just...happened.”
“Do you know what you want to do?”
“This isn’t what I had planned, ever really, but I don’t think I can get rid of it,” she said softly as her hand instinctively went to her stomach, where there was just the tiniest hint of her pregnancy, “I want to keep him or her.”
“Okay,” Robert smiled at her as he reached up and touched her cheek gently, “you know that I will support you, no matter what you decide. Just, please, make sure you’re going about this right. Make a doctor’s appointment as soon as possible, yeah?”
“Thanks, Dad,” Y/N smiled lightly at him, “for everything. I don’t know what I’d do without you sometimes.”
“Can I just ask one more thing?”
“Yes?”
“Do you know...is the...father aware?” he rarely got flustered, but apparently the idea of his daughter having sex was not something he ever wanted to think about.
“I know who the father is,” she said awkwardly, “but no, he doesn’t know. It was kind of a...one time thing. I’m not so sure if I should tell him.”
“Understood,” he replied as he started heading back into the house, grabbing the pink box with him, “as long as it’s not someone I know personally. Like that Holland kid or something.”
Y/N stopped chuckling at him and froze when she realized what he had said. Her eyes widened as he turned back around to see why there was a sudden silence. He cocked his head at her, narrowing his eyes, “umm...surprise?”
“Oh my God, it’s the Holland kid,” he sighed dramatically, “you have one scene him with and now you’re carrying his child? The kids these days!”
“To be fair, Dad, it takes two to tango,” she insisted as she followed him inside, grabbing the box from his hand and jamming back into the kitchen trashcan, “he’s also guilty.”
“Y/N, you should tell him. He’s a good kid, really, and he deserves to know at least,” he shrugged his shoulders as she rolled her eyes but nodded in agreement. She would tell him...eventually. Just how she would go about that, she didn’t know. Hell, she technically didn’t even have his phone number.
“Fuckkkkkk,” she hissed as she kicked the trashcan lightly.
Y/N thought her jaw might fall off from all the smiling she had been doing. The lights of the flashing cameras was starting to get old, and she was happy to be approaching the end of the red carpet. She was excited that Infinity War  was finally coming out and the fans would get what they had been waiting for, but right now all she wanted to do was be at home and curled up in bed.
She was close to six months pregnant now, and it was catching up fast with her. The morning sickness that had been almost none existent now hit her every morning, and she was tried all the time. Plus, cravings? Yeah, she had them and bad. Her heartburn usually said no, but her craving for everything and anything jalapeno usually said yes and won out.
Y/N had decided to keep things quiet and hadn’t announced her pregnancy yet, but she knew it was going to be harder to hide the more pronounced her stomach became. She had opted for a looser, fuller dress for the night’s event, hoping no one would catch on and expose her. That and the fact that she hadn’t told Tom yet. And now she would likely come face to face with him again, something she was hoping to avoid if at all possible.
So, she continued making her way down the carpet, stopping to take pictures and chat as necessary, all while trying to avoid Tom.
Robert, meanwhile, was taking his sweet time making his way around to all the interviewers and schmoozing up to everyone. And of course, they all loved it, because they all loved him.
It took him almost no time in spotting Tom and making his way over to him. Robert had always had a soft spot for him and considered him somewhat of a protege. Tom’s face lit up as he spotted Robert making his way over to him and quickly engulfing him in a massive hug.
“Hey kiddo,” Tom beamed at him, glad to see the Godfather of Marvel again.
“Robert, it’s been too long,” he said as he let go of him and they posed together for some pictures.
“I’ve been meaning to call you, kid,” Robert said through a smile as the cameras flashed like crazy at the two of them, “I wanted to officially welcome you to the family.”
“Huh?” Tom said as he continued to flash his dazzling smile to the crowd.
“Y/N told me about the baby. But don’t worry, there’s worse people it could have been,“ Robert chuckled as he clapped him on the back before spotting Chris a little ways down the carpet and heading over to him. Tom stood there dumbfounded and stunned as he tried to process what Robert had told him.
Surely he must be joking.
Y/N let out a sigh of relief as she finally sat down and got the chance to gulp down a bottle of water. She was deciding between kicking off her heels and letting her poor swollen feet get a break or just sitting for the rest of the night when she noticed a shadow looming over her.
She looked up and her eyes locked onto Tom’s bewildered and confused ones. Holy fucking shit.
“Y/N? What’s going on? Is there something you might need to tell me?” his warm voice was hard to read but she could tell there was a hint of nervousness to it. He knew.
“Tom,” she smiled at him, trying to keep her composure as she stood up, “I don’t know what you’re referring to, but it’s lovely to see you again.”
“Y/N, wait,” she stood dead in her tracks as she had tried to make a quick getaway. She squeezed her eyes shut and inhaled sharply, “your dad just mentioned something about a baby. Is there something you want to tell me?”
“I’m pregnant,” she admitted in defeat as she turned around to face him, throwing her hands up in exasperation, “it’s yours. It happened from that one damn night.”
“Y/N, that was almost six months ago. Why didn’t you tell me?” he sounded upset and hurt, she noted, but not angry in the slightest.
“I just...it was an accident, a drunken one night stand, we don’t really know each other. I don’t know, it’s a lot of things,” she admitted, although even she realized how lame it all sounded. Excuses, excuses.
“I...first of all, I never wanted it to be a one night stand,” he admitted as he took a step closer to her, making the space between them almost nonexistent, “but I woke up and you were just gone, no note, nothing. I thought you might have hated me or something, but believe you me, I wanted something more. I’ve fancied you for a long time.”
“Oh. I just...didn’t think I guess. I never thought you’d feel the same way about me,” she sighed as she realized how much she had fucked up. She should have just listened to her Dad and told Tom as soon as she had found out, “I’m sorry, Tom. I’m so sorry. There’s really not much else I can say.”
“Y/N, I-I...I just wish you would have told me earlier on, I’m sorry you had to do this on your own. I would have been there,” he reached up and gently touched her cheek, as she leaned into his soft touch.
“I should have told you. I just panicked. I knew I couldn’t get rid of her, but I didn’t want you to hate me or get angry, or I don’t know.”
“I would never have been angry, Y/N. This is my responsibility just as much as yours. I hope you’ll let me be there from now on,” he said softly as she nodded without hesitation. He paused for a moment before his eyes lit up, “wait, did you say her? We’re having a girl?!”
Y/N realized what she had said and she nodded as Tom’s features lit up with excitement. His eyes were a tad glossy and she knew he was tearing up. This definitely was not the reaction she had been expecting, “we’re having a girl!”
“Oh my God, Y/N. We’re having a baby - a girl,” his voice was filled with shock and awe as he tried to take it all in. Y/N reached for his hand, taking it and gently placing it on the swell of her stomach. His eyes widened as he touched her stomach, feeling the baby move slightly at his touch, “that’s our baby.”
“Tom, I don’t know how to even begin to apologize to you,” Y/N said quietly, “but I am sorry for not telling you right away. I hope you’ll forgive me and we can...try this whole thing again.”
“I forgive you, Y/N,” he agreed, “and I’m more than willing to try this again.”
“Yeah?”
“Absolutely,” he grinned as he tucked a lock of stray hair behind her ear, “so. Y/N, would you allow me to take you out to dinner? Think of it as a first date?”
“Yes, Tom. I’d like that very much,” she beamed up at him as he reached for her hand and they headed in he direction of the exit. This was definitely not how she expected anything in her life to turn out, but something told her that this was just right nonetheless.

Christmas Photos // Tom Holland x Reader
Tumblr media
Starter: How about tom and the reader are havin a sleepover as kids and Tom kisses her and Nikki got it on photo and then when they go to visit his fam they recreate the photo.
Warnings: maybe cussing, slight smut
—
Y/N giddily ran up the stairs and knocked on the door of the Holland’s. She rubs her arms, breathing on her frozen hands waiting for someone to answer the door. Since Tom was back home this year, Nikki invited Tom and his best friend and crush according to all the Holland’s, Y/N.
The door opens with a swing, revealing a woman with brown hair and a kind smile. Y/N immediately runs over the threshold and gives the lady a tight hug, smiling into the crook of her neck.
“Nikki! I’ve missed you so much!” Y/N says, releasing herself from the hug. Nikki smiles and brushes Y/N’s hair from her eyes.
“I’ve missed you too Y/N! Come inside, it’s freezing!” Nikki ushers the shivering girl inside, immediately sitting her on the couch and setting hot cocoa in front of her. “Boys! We have a guest, get down stairs!” Nikki yells. She hears the groans of Harry and Sam from upstairs, and the thumping of their feet. Y/N stands up, grinning at the joyous boys who immediately call out her name and run over to hug her.
“I’ve missed y’all too! “ Y/N laughs, her faint New York accent shining through. Y/N sat down on the couch, listening to the stories of the twins and how they pranked their little brother or taught Tessa new tricks.
“Speaking of Tessa, where is she? And where’s Tom?” Harry and Sam smirk and Y/N blushes, looking away to see Nikki with the same smirk.
After a moment of silence, Y/N hears the door open and close and the sound of a dog barking and running through the hall makes Y/N stand up and smile.
“I’m home! Is Y/N here? OH MY GOD
Y/N!” Tom runs over, wrapping Y/N in a tight hug, picking her up off the floor. Y/n wraps her arms around Tom’s neck, his brown locks ticking her cheek and forehead. He lets her down and holds her at shoulder length. “I’ve missed you so much!” He hugs her again, parting at Mr. Holland’s laugh and Harry’s wolf whistle.
After Tom exchanges greetings with his dad and Y/N hugged him, they sat down talking amongst themselves.
“Hey Nikki, do you have those old photo books from when they,” he points to Y/N, Tom, and the twins. “We’re little?” Nikki’s eyes light up and the four groan in sync.
“Yes! Let’s all look through them! Also maybe we could all choose one to re create!” Nikki squealed and ran into the other one. Sam turned to Mr. Holland,
“Seriously?” Mr. Holland just laughs and claps his son on the shoulder.
“Hey we might find something interesting in them, and it’s Christmas, we have to re create some of them-”
“I found the picture books!” Nikki runs back in and drops three thick books on the table, resulting in a bang that caused all the Holland’s and Y/N to jump.
•
“Oh my god look at that one!” Mrs. Holland points to a picture of Harry and Tom holding down Sam, all of them shirtless except Sam, who was practically drowning in tiny Christmas sweaters. That earned a groan from Sam and a bunch of laughter from Tom and Harry.
“Tom look at this one!” Sam points his finger to a picture of Y/N and Peter, around age six, Y/N smiling at the camera, a cute green oversized sweater on and Tom, in a red sweatshirt. Tom’s face was having a breakdown, his face red and eyes closed with tears flowing down his face. Tom’s face flushed and Y/N leans her head back busting out in laughter, holding her stomach as Tom stuffed his face in his hands. Y/N wipes the tears from her eyes and nudges Tom, who rolls his eyes, a smile tugging at his lips.
“Oh my god! I remember this!” Nikki pointed to a photo that made everyone but Y/N dm Tom fall into hysterics.
It was a picture of them about 10 years old and Y/N was spending the night at Tom’s house. They both had pj’s on and it had Y/N sitting on the floor, her legs sprawled out in front of her and Tom leaning over her, their lips connecting. Harry and Sam were holding onto each other, laughing as Nikki’s mom had a shocked expression on her face. Y/N and Tom’s eyes were closed and Tom was holding her cheeks and Y/N was holding his arms.
“Oh my god.” Y/N and Tom say in sync.
“We’re recreating this RIGHT NOW!” Nikki grabs protesting Y/N and Peter by the arms and drags them to the Christmas tree. Y/N turns to Tom.
“Honestly I don’t remember doing this at all.” Tom laughs.
“Me either.” Y/N says, before Nikki came over and sat Y/N on the ground.
“Alright! on the count of three Tom kiss
Y/N, and everyone strike their pose. Y/N glances behind her and sees Harry and Sam holding onto each other like in the picture and them smirks at her. Harry raises his eyebrows. Y/N flushes and immediately turns to the front.
“On the count of three!” Mr. Holland calls. “One...” was Tom going to kiss Y/N? “Two...” maybe they should do this “Three!” Y/N feels Toms lips smash onto hers. She immediately kisses back, holding onto his arms.
The kiss was filled with strong and happy emotions, fireworks exploding in both their stomachs. They let themselves kiss each other, both enjoying it. The kiss seemed to last forever, but they didn’t care.
“Hey lovebirds times up!” Sam hollers. They break from the kiss and Y/N stands up, blushing as much as Tom.
“Alright lets go to bed, Y/N you can share a room with Tom?” Nikki smiles. Y/N nods and tells everyone good night and goes upstairs to get dressed, her thoughts filled with Tom and his lips...
•
Tom tosses and turns on his bed, unable to sleep. Y/N hears the blankets rustle and knows she’s not the one unable to sleep.
“Can’t sleep?” Y/N whispers. She hears a small grunt from Tom. “Can I join you up there? This beds uncomfortable.” Y/N sits up.
“Sure.” Tom scoots over and Y/N slides under the much more warm blanket. After minutes of silence, Y/N knew it was time to talk to Tom about the kiss.
“Can we talk? About the kiss?” Tom props up on his elbow, his head resting on his hand.
“Okay, I’m gonna say this and get the rejection over with,” Tom takes a deep breath, “I’ve had the biggest crush on you since we were six. I think I’m in love with you.” Y/N smiles.
“I’ve loved you since we were three.” Y/N says. Tom grabs her waist and pulls her closer, crashing his lips to her. The kiss was just like the other one, but it was more heated and fast. Tom pulls her up, pinning her against the head board, pulling her shirt off. Y/N grabs his and rips it off, kissing him ferociously as she feels his abs.
Y/N and Tom break the kiss, both smiling like goofs. They let out a chuckle and lay back down. Tom snakes an arm around her waist and rests his chin on her head, smiling.
“I love you Y/N.”
“I love you too, Tommy.”

Tumblr media
DAMN! Doesn’t take a psychic to know that THEODORE LAWRENCE looks a hell of a lot like HARRY STYLES. The CISMALE is known to be rather MELODRAMATIC, TEMPERAMENTAL & CHARMING from what I hear. HE is studying DRAMATIC ARTS and they're about 22, which must make them a SENIOR. It’s a shame TEDDY now has the fact that HE SLEPT WITH A PROF IN ORDER TO PASS THE CLASS exposed.
teddy lawrence was once upon a time theodore holland, born to annie holland when she was 16 and named after the baby daddy who DIPPED as soon as he heard that annie was pregnant lawl
she was an addict, by the time teddy was 2 years old he was taken from her bc she left him alone for a weekend on a bender and the neighbour called the cops when teddy wldn’t stop screaming his head off it was a wild time
from then on he bounced from foster home to foster home, was in a few boys only reform homes when ppl wldn’t take him in, he caused a bit of trouble in his later years bc he wld run away sm to meet up with his mom
the homes weren’t great tbh teddy went thru a lot of abuse and it jst hurt bc he wld grow attached to the kids he lived with then they wld b torn apart /:

Well That’s Different - Tom Holland Imagine x reader Part 1
Growing up alongside the twins had its perks; people always being there for you, having an extra set of parents to talk to when your own were being 'too much', having more older brothers than you can shake a stick at. However, it also has its downsides...the main one being Tom. They had to have a gorgeous, big-hearted older brother, didn't they? One that you knew you never had a chance with, as you were either the little sister he never had or his younger brothers' best friend. This had become an issue ever since you were around fourteen. Though lately, it had become easier since he was always away, and you didn't have to look at his beautiful stupid face...
"Y/N! Where are you? It's getting dark you mug, we need to get back before my mum has a fit"
You blink slowly, coming out of your thoughts "What?" you look down at your watch and it reads '5:56pm’ “Oh wow I forgot how quickly it gets dark these days" you mumble as you stand. "Sam? I'm over here stupid"
He walks over and grins "Get lost in your thoughts again?"
"Fight me Holland."
"No, it would be tedious as obviously, I would win" he waggles his eyebrows at you and you scowl.
"Whatever you loser, let’s go"
You guys walk to the gate of the park where Harry is standing fiddling with his phone. He looks up as you both approach, with a shit-eating grin.
"Guess who just got home"
You let out a loud groan, "Alright, I'm just gonna skip dinner and go home lmao see ya" you turn to leave but Sam grabs your arm.
"Nu-uh, you haven't seen him in like four months, nor have you mentioned him within those four months, I think you're cured of this sickness for our older brother, plus mum hasn't seen you in a while so please grow a pair and stick to the plan of dinner?"
"Yeah come on y/n it will be cute, the whole fam back together? Even Harrison is gonna be there"
"I was literally at your house yesterday Sam but fine just because I like cute stuff"
"Atta girl"
"Shut it, Harold, let’s go"
You all meander your way along the 5-minute walk to the Holland household, telling really bad jokes just to see who could cringe out the most. Obviously, you won as your jokes were ghastly, hence why when walking through the threshold, the house and its inhabitants were greeted with snorts of laughter and a
"Jesus Christ y/n that was horrendous" from Sam and a
“Props to you, you absolute div" from Harry.
"Well, I do try my best boys," you say with a grin.
Suddenly both twins are just smirking slightly at you and all you hear is a low voice saying…
"Do I even want to know?"
You turn around and come face to face with the curly brunette whom you've been secretly longing for and missing for four months. He has an eyebrow raised and a slight grin playing at his mouth. You're speechless for a second as it's just hit you how beautiful he is. But you manage to compose yourself all within the span of 3 seconds and flash a grin.
"Probably not"
Tom laughs softly, a noise which makes your stomach decide to join the circus. The twins both let out a snort because they know exactly what is going through your head. Sam puts a hand on your shoulder as if to say, 'Don't panic', while Harry pushes past and hugs Tom.
"It’s good to have you home dude"
"It's good to be home, I've missed you losers"
"Please, the only loser here is you, Thomas," you say while walking off into the kitchen to find Nikki but also to calm your heart rate. However, irritatingly the kitchen is completely empty and you hear footsteps going upstairs but also behind you. You spin around to complain to Sam about how your feelings for Tom hadn't gone away but you think they might have grown, only to have your mouth snap shut as Tom was leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed with a small slightly adorable frown on his face.
"What's up with you?"
"I've been away for four months y/n"
"I am aware of that...it's been so peaceful" you joke with a sly grin, but he doesn’t react which causes your stomach to start having a fit.
"I've been away..."
"You've already said that? Are you broken?" He sighs exasperatedly and runs a hand over his face. Then glares at you which causes you to step back slightly.
"I've been away for four months. Did you not miss me at all?"
You stare at him with wide eyes...what the hell is going on? "Of course, I missed you, Tom? What is the matter with you?"
He steps forward his glare changing into sad puppy dog eyes "Then where's my hug?"
You roll your eyes while trying to hide a smile "Are you shitting me? I thought I had done something wrong you div"
He grins and steps closer and wraps his arms around you. "Nah you never do anything wrong y/n"
"Well, that's a lie" you mumble into his shirt while hugging him back tightly. You look up and try to ignore how close your faces are. "So how was filming?"
He just stares at you, his soft gaze trailing all over your face, it was almost like you could feel it, but then he started to frown again. "To-"
"You're different. Why do you look different?"
"Um, what?"
He steps back still frowning, and you want to reach forward and bring him back as you miss his warmth but stop yourself.
"Why are you different?"
"I'm not?"
"Yes, you are"
"Tom are you drunk? I'm literally the same as I was four months ago?"
He just shakes his head slightly "No you're...ah it doesn't matter...um I'm gonna go for a shower, see you in a bit" He walked out the kitchen leaving you completely baffled and wondering about his sanity.

Where Have You Been?
Includes: Amazing Spider-Man!Peter x reader, angst, fluff, and minimal swearing.
Requested by @dunbarkiss: “yo give me some peter parker pls. like they fight or some shit idk hella angst fam WITH FLUFF AT THE END LOVE U BOO”
Word Count: 1,790
A/N: I hope you all don’t mind, but I decided to write for Andrew Garfield’s version of Peter because I felt strange attempting to write for Tom Holland’s due to his age (fifteen) in the mcu. 
Please Note: This is my first request! If you’d like to send one in, my inbox is open! 
Tumblr media
You lay watching some ridiculous television show, falling asleep to the noise, when the power went off, plunging the room into darkness. You groaned, dragging yourself from the couch to call the electric company, but the landline in the kitchen was equally as dead as your cell phone. 
Trudging over to the window above the sink, you confirmed that your neighbors were without power as well when someone lightly grabbed your upper arm. You yelped, flailing to get the stranger’s hand away from you as you stumbled backward, knocking over several items on the counter next to you. Your fingers found the handle of a knife you had left out earlier, and you picked it up, prepared to defend yourself against the intruder.
“Hey, hey. I’m sorry. It’s-it’s Peter.”
You couldn’t hear a word of his rambling over the rapid throbbing in your ears, though you recognized the tall, lean figure silhouetted by the moonlight spilling through the blinds. As much as you hated to admit it, you could probably identify him by the messy outline of his hair alone. 
“Peter?” you asked incredulously, releasing the knife. The blade clattered loudly on the countertop until you’d grown annoyed enough to slam your hand down on it to stop the ringing.
“Yeah,” he replied hesitantly, maintaining a safe distance from you.
“Shit,” you whispered, rubbing your forehead to calm yourself down. Thankfully, your parents were not home to hear the commotion, and the organ in your chest stopped pounding hard enough to break your rib cage.
An awkward silence dangled between the two of you for a couple minutes until you finally decided to shatter it.
“Was this your doing?” you questioned, waving your hand around in reference to the power outage, but he most likely couldn’t decipher the gesture in the dark anyway.
“No, actually. Just a happy coincidence,” he laughed halfheartedly, though you didn’t find much humor in the situation. He combed his fingers through his hair as he always did when he was in an uncomfortable predicament, and it was somehow infuriating to watch. 
“Where have you been?” The fear you had felt just seconds ago morphed into the anger and confusion you remembered experiencing when Peter left you without an explanation so long ago.
“Before I came here? Well-”
“No,” you interrupted, knowing full well he understood what you meant. “You’ve been gone for months and you left me without any sort of closure whatsoever. You’re on the news all the time, so I know you haven’t gone anywhere beyond New York.”
You could faintly see the muscles in his face twitch as he wracked his brain for a suitable response. “I wanted to make sure you’d never get hurt because of your connection to me.”
“Seriously? That’s the pitch you’re trying to sell?” you scoffed, crossing your arms over your chest. “Even if that were the case, it doesn’t explain why you couldn’t bother to inform me about the decision to cut me out of your life.”
“Fine. I didn’t think you needed me anymore.”
“What?”
“You had so many opportunities lined up for you all those months ago, and I figured you didn’t need any unnecessary distractions.”
“I never insinuated that!” you exclaimed. “Besides, you don’t have the right to decide what I need, Peter. I loved you, but apparently you didn’t care enough to stick around.”
Refusing to give him time to respond, you walked away and into the hall connected to the kitchen. Before you reached your bedroom door, you turned and added, “I’m going to bed. Surely you’re capable of seeing yourself out.”
Evidently, Peter was not finished with the conversation, for he shot his webbing at the door handle, encasing it so that you couldn’t enter the room.
“Peter…” you ground out, glaring at him as the power flickered back on. 
Your annoyed expression quickly vanished when you saw his face, which was littered with several cuts and bruises. Glancing down at his knuckles, you noticed they were lined with lacerations, and you assumed his sweater concealed other abrasions.
“Oh my God,” you breathed. Being the former girlfriend of Spider-Man had familiarized you with the sight of his injuries, but he had never come to you with so many before. 
Rather than explain, he gave you a lazy smile, the expression nearly transporting you back in time. Not once had he ever told you how he obtained so many wounds, and based on the look on his face, you knew he wasn’t about to do so this time either.
Eventually, you inquired, “Is that the reason you came back? You didn’t want to worry May, so you came to me instead?” Even though you wished you could hate him even more for it, his aunt had enough to trouble her, and you wouldn’t mind helping him if it was to her benefit.
“That’s part of it,” he admitted, scratching the side of his head as if embarrassed. “But I also came to apologize.”
Finally, you thought, the relief blossoming in your chest an unpleasant surprise. Why should you care if he apologized? He abandoned you.
“Alright,” you ceded, briefly washing your hands and fetching the medical supplies from one of the kitchen cabinets. “I’ll fix you up, but that doesn’t mean you’re forgiven.”
He ambled over to the couch in your living room, slowly lowering his sore body down onto the cushions. He winced as he shifted to give you enough room to sit on the edge of the sofa beside him. 
You started with his hands first, cleaning them with a wet cloth before rubbing them with salve and wrapping both of them in white gauze. Then, you applied quite a few butterfly bandages to the cuts marring his facial features.
As you continued to tend to the other damages on his skin, you remained silent, but you recognized the way he looked at you. It was the same way he had the first time he’d come to you for help after revealing his alternate identity. You had insisted on bandaging his injuries, but did not have any medical materials at the time, so you drove him to the local drug store and attended to his abrasions in your car. Such intense admiration and love shone in his eyes that night before he leaned over the center console to kiss you. 
A similar glimmer flashed in his irises now and you were equally afraid and hopeful that he would react in the same way to such emotions. Having him in front of you again almost made you forget that he deserted you. Almost.
Just when you thought you had finished patching him up, your elbow accidentally grazed his stomach, resulting in a pained, guttural moan from Peter. Without asking for permission, you lifted his sweater away from his torso, finding a gash just below his ribcage. The potent scent of blood assailed your nose as it trickled from his split skin. 
“Peter, I have to take you to a hospital-”
“No, no- please don’t,” he begged frantically, grabbing hold of your wrist as you started getting up. “Aunt May can’t know about this, and if you take me there they’ll call her and-”
“Okay, okay,” you murmured soothingly, interrupting his fretting.
You examined the deep slash again, attempting to figure out how to properly address such a large wound.
“I-I’ve never done this before,” you confessed, your voice shaking.
Peter provided instructions, which required you to retrieve a bowl of water and a fresh cloth to flush out the gash. Next, he had you put some sugar in the wound to prevent bacterial growth, after which you began stitching it back together. Peter’s body tensed underneath your fingers as he swore, his discomfort causing you to be even more nervous than you already were. When you finished the stitches, you bandaged the area.
You put all of the unused supplies back into the box, but Peter took your hand before you could return the kit to the kitchen. He intertwined his fingers with yours and brought his other hand up to your cheek carefully, as if his touch might make you pull away from him. 
You should have left the moment you felt his hand join with yours, but you didn’t. Instead, your body involuntarily leaned forward a bit, and he guided your face the rest of the way until your noses were only a centimeter apart. You two stayed that way for what felt like a long while, neither of you brave enough to close the distance.
At last, he decided to cinch the space between the two of you, but you drew back, the faint brush of his lips a lingering shadow on yours. 
“I can’t, Peter,” you whispered, unable to look him in the eyes as you tore your hand from his. 
In your peripheral vision, you saw him nod, though you knew he was anything but okay with your rejection.
“Do you need me to drive you home?” you asked, your voice sounding detached, as if it wasn’t even your own.
“No, I’ll be all right,” he responded as you rose from the sofa. 
“You can find your way out, then,” you said over your shoulder before retreating into the hall.
You went to turn the handle of your bedroom door, but your palm met Peter’s webbing that he’d put there earlier. You were so exhausted that you almost laughed, despite what had occurred in the past hour.
“Dammit, Peter. Can you take this stuff off my door?” you called out, regardless of how much you wanted to avoid another confrontation with him.
He followed your voice and smirked when he saw you fighting with his webbing. In spite of his injuries, he easily yanked it off, your strength nothing compared to his even when he was at his weakest.
When he didn’t leave, your eyes met his, and you knew what was bound to happen, but you didn’t take action to prevent it again.
In a matter of seconds, Peter had your head cradled in his hands, his lips pressing fervently into yours. When you detached your mouth, he wrapped his arms around your waist and continued to press an innumerable amount of kisses along your jaw, brow, and eyelids. He rested his forehead on yours, his breath warming your cheeks as he prepared to shift his attention back to your lips, but you placed a finger over his to stop him.
“Only if you promise to never leave me again.”
“Never,” he assured you, shaking his head to emphasize his point as he bit his lower lip, impatience wearing at him.
Then, you were the one who kissed him.
Thoughts? Hop on over to my ask box or leave a reply! Feedback is much appreciated. Also, if you would like to be added or removed from the tag list, please let me know.

Just so you guys know what the most recent government experiment is. First Area 51, then chem trails, then Polybius, now mind-damaging workout videos. At least 6 people have gone brain death in some way associated with this full routine. Perhaps this is part of their plan to destabilize foreign governments by destroying the cognitive capabilities of the unsuspecting masses using the modern internet? Spread via VHS tapes? Does a digital version of the full set exist? Or is this just a harbinger of things to come?

THIS HAPPENED TO MY COUSINS.
They got a boxed set of the LOWO tapes at a yard sale, thought they looked funny, I don’t know. Picked them up on monday. Told us they were going to carpool up to my parents house for sunday dinner with us, but on sunday, they didnt come outside. We honked, called, nothing. We just went without them.
Then we heard that they had missed all of their college classes from some mutual friends. Somebody went over- found them standing in the living room, staring at the tv. They were barely moving, looked like they hadnt eaten in days, one was mumbling something over and over again. Hospitalized for three days each. Neither had any memory of what happened or why they were just standing there. Chucked all the tapes though.
So do at your own risk. Im not going to!

Just so you guys know what the most recent government experiment is. First Area 51, then chem trails, then Polybius, now mind-damaging workout videos. At least 6 people have gone brain death in some way associated with this full routine. Perhaps this is part of their plan to destabilize foreign governments by destroying the cognitive capabilities of the unsuspecting masses using the modern internet? Spread via VHS tapes? Does a digital version of the full set exist? Or is this just a harbinger of things to come?

THIS HAPPENED TO MY COUSINS.
They got a boxed set of the LOWO tapes at a yard sale, thought they looked funny, I don’t know. Picked them up on monday. Told us they were going to carpool up to my parents house for sunday dinner with us, but on sunday, they didnt come outside. We honked, called, nothing. We just went without them.
Then we heard that they had missed all of their college classes from some mutual friends. Somebody went over- found them standing in the living room, staring at the tv. They were barely moving, looked like they hadnt eaten in days, one was mumbling something over and over again. Hospitalized for three days each. Neither had any memory of what happened or why they were just standing there. Chucked all the tapes though.
So do at your own risk. Im not going to!

Weight Loss Tea: Does It Really Work?
Wha gwan fancy faces? Hope you're all enjoying the end of summer and living your best lives in this bitch (aka getting hype for carnival after Rihanna did a worldwide snatching of every wig available).
Two weeks ago I announced on my Snapchat that I would be partaking in an experiment -a weight loss experiment. I was gonna swallow my scrutiny and actually give one of those weight loss teas a go to see if the shit actually worked. If it did then I would have the pleasure of recommending it to you so you could get your skinny bitch on too, and if it didn’t I WOULD RUN MY FUCKING MOUTH LIKE I ALWAYS DO!
Weight loss tea is a hype that we’ve seen all over Instagram via sponsored #BodyGoals celebrity endorsements –and you should always trust the words of someone paid to promote something –from Fit Tea to Flat Tummy Tea. I didn’t go for either of those because I don’t really trust the words of an already skinny person telling me that they got skinny from the tea they are paid to tell me they got skinny from, when what they really have is high metabolism/surgery money/top flight personal trainer money. Nope, my intelligent ass trusts what I can see with my own eyes, and what my eyes saw was one of my girls lose a fuck load of weight (she went from a size 16-18 to a size 12 in just over a year) and attribute some of her success (she goes to the gym five days a week...she is goals) to some shit call BooTea.
My friend advised me that this shit was on the pricey side and that it was best to buy it when Holland and Barretts were doing a special deal on it. So that’s what the fuck I did one day whilst wandering around Southside on my lunch break. There it was in the window of Holland and Barretts, with a big sign ‘SPECIAL OFFER’, and you lot know I love me a sale…not that I’d really call this shit a sale but I’d just got paid so I was feeling expensive. The offer was two boxes of the 14 day BooTea teatox for £40 (an individual box is a whole £24.99) or two boxes of the 28 day teatox for £50 (an individual box is £36). Fam...it's fucking TEA! I was inclined to buy the two 28 day boxes for just £10 more, but my cynicism pulled up on me like, ‘Bitch, what if this shit don’t work? You better buy them 14 day boxes for £40, 'cause if the shit don’t work after two mudda foggin' weeks it ain't gonna work after a mudda foggin' month!’ I agreed with my cynicism. Worst case scenario was that if it didn’t work then I would simply take the other box back and reclaim my coins like Maxine Waters reclaimed her time.
That was the hardest £40 I’ve ever spent (and I’ve bought hella dumb shit just because it had glitter on it, so that’s saying something), but I was excited. Imagine, all I’d have to do is drink this tea for two weeks and voila, svelte heaux-dom would be mine for the taking. I had one apprehension... My friend warned me that this detox teatox would ‘flush my system out’ and that I could expect some ‘runny shit’ (her eloquent words lol). What’s a little diarrhoea when you can lose weight just by drinking tea? Plus, it’s sold in Holland and Barretts, they’re all about this healthy natural life, so whatever was in this tea could only be made of goodness, right?
I got home that evening and snapped my latest purchase for my Snap fam (hold tite you lot dohhhhh) along with the ingredients so we could bask in the naturalness together.
Daytime Tea: Chinese Oolong tea, maté leaves, ginger root, fennel seeds, lemongrass, dandelion leaf, ginseng root, Gotu Kola leaves, nettle leaves��and a little caffeine. -I was impressed. I’d heard of Oolong before and how it was basically and upgrade of Green Tea that would boost your metabolism. I was Gucci with everything after that.
Bedtime Tea: Senna leaves, peppermint leaves, fenugreek seeds, liquorice root, burdock root, hawthorn leaves, valerian root and psyllium seeds. –Senna low key was trying to trigger my cynicism because that shit is well-known for its laxative effect and all I could think was, ‘What if I drink the bedtime tea, then bae comes over and I shit myself while were fucking?’ It’s a valid question, bitch. Stop looking at me like that.
The following day I began my experiment. I measured and weighed myself then made my first brew. In case you are wondering, it tastes fine. You get 14 daytime tea bags to drink one every morning, and 7 bedtime tea bags to drink every other night. I guess Senna induced diarrhoea for two weeks straight would be a bit intense.
I didn’t poop at all the next day. I was so anxious about getting diarrhoea that every time I tried to go my butt closed up like that Arthur fist meme (...this is also why I can’t try booty sex).  
After talking myself down and making sure I was very hydrated the next time I took it…let’s just skip that part lol.
I continued with it for two weeks and tracked my progress. I lost:
1.5 inches on my bust
0.7 in on my waist
0.8 inches on my tummy
2.9 inches on my hips
1 inch on my ass (…thanks for that -_-)
0.2 inches on my thighs and upper arms
My weight more or less stayed the fucking same.
Yes, there was a little weight loss but it was nothing significant and was most likely just water weight. Do I recommend Bootea? No the fuck I don’t. I can lose water weight without shitting out my guts, thanks. Honestly, I had A LOT MORE success doing the water challenge for one week than I had drinking ‘Shit Tea’ for two…and that cost a whole fucking lot less too (it was FREE) because I’m not too bougie to drink le aqua la governmente.
In conclusion, don’t buy into the hype. I will be getting my refund on that second box that was included in the deal, tomorrow. A balanced diet and regular exercise still reigns; go figure…I spent £40 for no reason.
