user210651: WHAT?? WTF HAPPENED

aikoswife: oo drama :0

lorelaixx: eurovision 2024 is so wild

—————————————————————————

You looked at the post, shocked, disappointed.. angry? You didn’t know what emotions you were feeling but your first priority was currently Joost. The poor mans feelings and dreams were crushed, his cheerful and bright persona was now forced, and it was more dull than ever. You felt bad for your best friend, the one you started this whole journey with. You met wonderful people, made new memories, and all of it was now thrown away because Joost protected himself from unwanted media. It was unfair, it was quite literally pathetic how the EBU reacted. They shouldn’t be punishing Joost, yet here they were, not letting him rehearse. You walked to Joosts hotel room, things that you thought would cheer him up in hand. You knock softly on the door, loud enough so he could hear, waiting patiently outside the door.

Footsteps could be heard from behind the door a few seconds later the door got opened, revealing a very tired and not so happy looking Joost. He let you in, closing the door behind him as you set the stuff down. You walk over to him and open your arms for a hug, quickly getting tackled into a bear hug. “Mm..s’not fair..” He says, slurring his words as he started to sniffle softly. You pat his back, offering him some comforting words and assurances, trying to cheer him up as best as you could. “Shh.. It’s alright.. you don’t know how proud of you everyone is for coming this far.” He picks you up, walking to his bed and lays down with you, lying down on top of you. “I just failed everyone, I failed my people.” He says and you shush him, playing with his hair. “Hey! Listen to me now.” You say, lifting his head up so he would look at you. “You did not fail anyone. You have a whole community supporting you, so don’t you ever doubt yourself. You did nothing to harm someone, you’re a kind, lovely soul who people cherish.” You say, making him smile softly. He cupped your cheek and kissed you on the lips. It was short, but sweet making your stomach erupt with butterflies.

The next day felt grueling. You barely got up and got ready to go back to arena. You were excited to see all those familiar faces, but it felt forced since you now knew Joost wouldn’t be there by your side for all of it. You walked with Joost, hand in hand trying to talk about random topics like you usually did when you saw a hoard of fans. “We should get out of here.” You say, squeezing his hand. “Oh, but why?” He says, looking towards the crowd who was already standing in line to get in the Arena. Joost was always the social butterfly, you trying your best to not interact with crowds this big, not feeling safe since you didn’t really have a guard with you 24/7. You walk with him, letting him charm the crowd like usual all the fans going crazy. You took some pictures with the fans as well, signing things.. someone even asking you to draw a tattoo for them which you gladly did. Everyone was shouting things like ‘justice for Joost’ or ‘We love you Joost.’ Which warmed your heart knowing people support him, Joosts smile not going unnoticed by you. You walk with him inside the arena when some annoying interviewer had the nerve to comment about his disqualification, in a bad way. You had {your countries name} flag with you, which you used to cover him while you walked to the elevator. You mumble swears in your language, cussing the interviewer out like a mad person. Joost pulled you closer by the waist, planting a quick kiss to your forehead “Ik hou van jou.” (I love you)

After long exhausting hours, listening to the most talented people perform on stage, you go on after Bambie. An idea pops up in your head, smiling mischievously. Joost left already, watching from home since he thought it would be best if he wasn’t here when the incident was fresh. You walk on stage, about 20 or more people rapidly cleaning and getting the props and just everything ready for your performance. You waved at some fans and blew air kisses when the lights dimmed, which meant the cameras were now rolling and it was your time to shine. You pour your heart and passion for music out, the last words of the song slipping from your tongue and you finish it off with one last pose.

Everyone cheers for you, you suddenly take out the Netherlands flag, the words justice for Joost written in black paint on it. You wave it around and you hear cheering, of course some booing as well. You smile one last time before getting off stage, Bambie running up to you to give you a hug. Marina hugged you too, complimenting your performance before rushing on stage since it was her turn to go. “That’s gonna be everywhere babe, good luck.” Bambie says and you nod, joking about it with them. “Well shit, I don’t care if I get disqualified it needed to be said. I don’t even know how I managed to sneak that on stage haha.” You chat for a bit more before heading to a quieter place in the arena. You sat down on the floor, back against a wall as you open your messages to see Apson, and even Stuntje sending you videos. They knew about your little shenanigan and decided to record Joosts reaction.

They were all in Joosts hotel room, Joost cheerinf you on and singing along in your song. You chuckles softly as he mumbled some of the words since he didn’t really speak much of your language. When the song comes to an end he starts to cheer; “That’s my girl!” He screams, jumping up and down and clapping for you. “He’s definitely getting noise complaints.” You think to yourself, smiling at the screen. The TV shows you with the flag only for a few seconds since they tried to hide it as best as possible, but the ultimately failed since it was there for a good five seconds. Joost looked surprised, Apson cheering and Joost looks at him. “Wist u hiervan?” (did you know about this?) “Ja, Ja.” (yes, yes) He says and you see Apson smiling from Stuntjes point of view. The video gets cut off after a few more seconds, Joost visibly emotional so they most likely decided pointing a camera in his face wasn’t a good idea.

You decided to watch the others perform, vibing with Bambie to songs and dance with them. After everyone finishes their song, you all go with your own team, the jury votes about to be announced. You blow an air kiss to Bambie and walk with your team, hyping everyone up. You didn’t expect to win, not after the stunt you pulled but you supported your friends to the very end. The final jury votes were given to Nemo by Sweden, you cheered for them since they really deserved the points. Their song was incredible and their vocals were angelic. You snap put of your thoughts, now the public would be able to vote. You would lie if you said you payed attention the whole time, zoning out almost every few minutes.

It was now between Croatia and Switzerland, your bet was on Nemo even though Croatia also did an amazing job. The atmosphere was tense, the silence being a bit more awkward than you liked, just hoping to get this all over with. You hear cheering, looking towards Nemo who looked like a beam of sunshine. You clapped, cheering your dear friend on and sing along to his performance.

It was done. Months of work and stress was finally over. You get a ride to your hotel with your team, scrolling through the hundreds of photos and videos from this wonderful experience. You saw a new place for the first time; Malmö which you were forever grateful for but you couldn’t wait to go back home to Amsterdam with Joost. Your movements were sluggish, your team laughing and joking about it. You chuckle along with them and wave goodbye to them as you all your separate ways to your hotel rooms. You on the other hand were walking to another room. You knock softly, the seconds feeling like hours when you don’t even register the door getting opened and get spinned around. You giggle like a 12 year old girl, Joost putting you down and kissing your soft lips. He closed the door behind him, walking with you to the bed slowly so you don’t fall since he refused to pull away from the kiss. He sits down with you and brings you into his lap. You finally pull away and he looks at you, love struck.

“When did you manage to get the flag you troublemaker?” He jokes and kisses your jaw, going down to your collar bone. “That my love, is a secret.” You say and he groans, lying down with you. “Doesn’t matter anymore.. You don’t know how much you made my day.” He says and peppers your face with kisses. You giggle softly, having to pull him away so he would stop. “Joost that tickles.” You say and he holds you tighter, burying his face in your hair. “You’re the light I needed in my life.”

Please do a alicent hightower x rhaenrya targayren twin brother who she marries and become princess consort. Alicent want him to herself ,so she tries break relationship with the male oc and rhanearya.

Manipulation

Yandere!Alicent Hightower x Male!Reader

I made this last night very late, the sun rising. But I just now reread it and idk if you meant rhaenrya marrying the reader or Alicent. But I made this think Alicent married the reader because that’s what I did all the way through until I went back to edit it. I apologize but I still hope you like it!

Warnings: Yandere tactics, manipulation, obsession, stalking, one mention of something gory.

Readers very existence changed everything about what happened, there would be no war. Do to the reader being the first born son, raised along side rhaenrya he would be it’s rightful hair.

Aemma was proud to have birthed a son for Viserys and a beautiful daughter. She loved her children and always kept a close eye on them, them both being strong headed.

Viserys loved both of them equally. But most of his time was filled with teaching y/n how to be a man and one day a king. From the age of three he took y/n with him on hunts, a memory he cherishes deeply. Rhaenrya was with her mother and was the talk of all the ladies as they gushed over her Beauty.

This being said rhaenrya was raised to believe in her brother who she loved to death. He was her twin and the gods created them together to be in this world. So as time went on she did not resent her brother because she did not feel like she was being replaced for a male heir.

Alicent knew y/n for a short time while she was by the young princess side. Y/n loved to play with rhaenrya and in his free time spent most of it with her. Alicent, being her best friend, was there a lot. He was charming and even though he was younger she never failed to blush when he would comment her. He was a gentleman, his mother and father made sure of it. But y/n never really payed that much attention because he was talking with his sister.

A feeling started to fill her mind of wanting his attention to on her so she started to speak up more. She’d dropped somethings and the reader would help, or get close to him and say something. Her crush got deeper and within a year after realizing, she had fallen deeply in love with the prince. Her attitude started to change when he was around and become all about him. Butting in on conversations, grabbing his arms slightly.

Things took a change when the prince was sent to study in Pentos and around the world to become a better king. Alicent was heartbroken over this news and she cried for days. She never was the same again. After two years her obsession slowly faded but she always seemed to think of him when she got lost in thought. His laugh, the way he made her smile and feel.

Rhaenrya looked passed her obsession for a small crush and did not blame Alicent back then since they were children. Her brother was a handsome boy and she couldn’t blame alicent. Tho, she did like to tease her friend sometimes.

Alicent and Rhaenrya sat together while Alicent read to her. They laughed and tried to get by with rhaenryas consent bickering and pokes of fun. But the city rang of a dragons roar and a deep one at that, their eyes looked up and saw a black dragon with spikes fly above them and casted a shadow down.

Rhaenrya hops up with a huge smile and a laugh, “He’s back.” She shot up and ran off without another word. Alicent was panicking to grab all the stuff she had brought and follow the princess. As she ran her chest filled with butterflies and her mind flashing of images of the boy she remembers. He was still young but could he have grown a beard? How tall was he now? Would he remember her, or better yet, would he be kind to her? She felt sick but her feet ran faster to see her prince.

When they got outside to the dragon pits she placed the books on the ground and grabbed ahold of rhaenrya in excitement. They watch his dragon land and the ground shake below their feet. The beasts mouth opened and screamed at the top of its lungs, a faint male voice shouting. Y/n petted his dragon and spoke to it and laughed. Everyone saw their prince stepping off his dragon and he looked different. His pale skin and freshly cut silky white hair, his frame grown and more muscly toned.

“Quite the entrance brother. Always loved attention.” Rhaenrya pulled away from Alicent and walked towards her brother with a fake face. The boy turned with a smiled while taking off his gloves, “And you dear sister, being betrothed to Lord Strong? Quite a lovely tale.” He smirked as they stood a few steps away from each other.

Rhaenrya broke and leaped towards her brother and hugged him close, his arms wrapping around her and lifting her up. The two laughed in joy to be reunited together again after years. The hug lasted a few seconds before he placed her back on the ground but still holding onto each other. “We must see mother and father at once.” Rhaenrya smiled and tugged him backward with her.

“I’m sure they eagerly await your return.” A new voice pulled the twins apart and around. Y/n took a moment and his breath hitch’s as a bigger smile popped onto his face. Alicent Hightower, the girl who always was kindhearted and soft. It seems her beauty grew with age. She was once’s one of the most beautiful girl he has ever seen but now he is not sure she could be topped in rank.

“Alice Hightower?” He let go of rhaenrya and walked closer and the brunette bowed her head down in respected. “It seems you both grew into beautiful woman, how jealous the other ladies must be.” Her cheeks flushed and the pressure in her chest she felt all those years ago returned. But harder then before. Rhaenrya rolled her eyes at his comment and pulled his arm. “Mother will not like you taking long to see her. Neither father really.” Alicent watched his attention go back to rhaenrya and she felt anger.

Alicent from there got his attention anyway she could. Learning his schedule and always “Bumping” into him at times. Or how she’d dress in prettier dresses to show herself off. Y/n found his alone night walks to never be alone with the hands daughter following him everywhere.

Otto did the same thing he did to Viserys and pushed his daughter into y/n. But Alicent was already doing it by herself and had no problem. Slowly otto got into the kings mind of marrying the two.

“Any girl peak your interest my boy?” Viserys asked while they chatted in the kings chamber. “Have you already picked a woman for me?” His father only smiled and patted his back and took the figure from his sons hands and placed it back down. “You are the future king but my son, I want you to find a match like I did with your mother.” Y/n smiled and looked back down. “There is this one girl…” Viserys cheered and shook his sons shoulders more.

“Is it the Lady Alicent?” The boys head shot up and looked surprised to hear her name. “I see the way you look at her, or the way she looks at you.”

“She’s kind, will make a loving queen.”

Alicent was surprised when one day the reader asks her to take a walk with him in the garden without rhaenrya. But she didn’t hesitated to take his arms and walk with him. The reader was sweet when he asked her to marry him and had a fresh flowers picked just for her. He said she did not have to marry him if did not want but the thought didn’t even cross her mind.

After the betrothal she started to pull the reader away from everyone to keep him to herself. Especially rhaenrya. The thought of having to share her darling made her fingers dug into her skin at the thought. The reader was hers, only hers.

Alicent didn’t even want the reader be around his family at the wedding. Rhaenrya couldn’t even ask for a dance without Alicent pulling him on the dance floor by herself.

The castle saw less and less of him because if he wasn’t studying or with the king, then he was with Alicent. Aemma got to see her son if he had time but rhaenrya was out of the question. The dinner table was awkward with tension between the girls. If rhaenrya was around then Alicent would be right at the readers side.

Reader is so blind to see what’s happening. Alicent is good at playing the innocent girl so he suspects nothing of her manipulating tactics. She is his wife and he needs to care and love her, plus he is very busy with heir things so it is no one’s fault he doesn’t get to see his family anymore.

But does shit get worse she Alicent announces she is pregnant. You think her possessiveness is bad before then this is like hell. You study with in your chamber at the table while Alicent relaxes and reads. She wished for this child since you came back so she loved it dearly, even happy about it as she rubs her belly and whispers. “You are a gift of our love, he has given you to me.”

You love your wife dearly so you do anything you can to make this easy for her. Until the death of your mother happens. She was pregnant again, surprising everyone after years of no children being born. But sadly died in childhood birth along with your baby brother. Everything gets hard on you.

You sneak around to comfort your sister when Alicent thinks your out at the library, or your father when you can since you still see him a bit. Everything is hell and they all look for you but Alicent has you in her clutch.

I haven’t mentioned Daemon yet so here it is. Hates Alicent since he watched her flirt with you in the halls or at feast when you came back. Hates her so freaking much for stealing you away from your twin and even him, platonically. His anger gets more like rhaenrya when she kept you away from your family and took over your mind. Thinks she was a witch and put a spell on you, drugged you, or even threatened you if you did not love her. He constantly tries to get you away.

After months of mourning and your mental state being drained your body was restored by one second of seeing your son. He was so tiny and beautiful. He looked like you so much and you took him in your arms and cradled him. You cheered around the room that you had a son and praised your wife for her hard work. Making sure she had the best of medication and care after. Alicent loved that you focused on the babe while knowing it was a new way to keep you with her.

Aegon was his name, and he was raised by a loving father. Next, a daughter who you were very protective over with her strange like ways but loves her no less. Then your son aemond who couldn’t hatch a dragon egg but you held no grudge. You would tell him stories of how one day he will have a dragon and you will help him hunt it. Daeron your youngest who took mostly after you, his kindness and level head.

Your children grew to be just as protective of you as their mother and hated to let you go. Always kicking and screaming when you tried to leave and cry, they were slightly spoiled. But they followed you around like ducklings and the boys tried to act like you. Even watching you practice and copying your moves, walking even and everything about you. Rhaenrya had children and you wanted to be in their lives so you forced Alicent to have the children spend time with them. You missed your family and it was time to be together.

Oh, but did your kids hate rhaenryas kids- Well, Helaena and Daeron didn’t mind because she was sweet, and Daeron was off in old town. But Aemond and Aegon didn’t like their cousins every much. They hated when you gave them attention or trained them as well, so they’d trip the boys or do something to get your attention.

Rhaenrya tried to talk to Alicent about how she wished no harm to steal you away in hopes to calm her down. Maybe even hang out with you once and a while. But Alicent didn’t give up.

Not only did you have a yandere for a wife, but Yandere children as well who can manipulate you. You belonged to them and no one else.

Extra because why not:

The only way I see Rhaenrya trying to take back the throne is with Daemon in her ear. They see how Alicent has you in control and knows she could do anything. It wasn’t about you because if Alicent was never in the picture you would be a good king. But now Daemon thinks that Rhaenrya needs to have a claim to the throne as well.

Rhaenrya named her fourth child after the reader and Alicent gets pissed about it. Even asks/screams for her to change it because she had no right.

Aegon is different from the show and is more..Better? A loving parent can make all the difference so he turns out, kinda okay. Don’t get me wrong he’s still a dick but he’s better about it. But with the reader by his side actually trying to do good, Aegon wants to impress him and becomes a good man.

Aemond clings to y/n the most because he feels lesser then his siblings for the lack of a dragon which the reader never puts him down for. If the boys are teasing him all it takes is one word to dad and everything will be okay.

Helaena really loves her dad so much. He listens to her, reads to her or gets her bugs from around the world. Even asks her questions of what she is saying. Helaena feels a comfort in him unlike anyone else. She is a daddy’s girl for sure.

The Albatross

a / n — tbh i haven’t caught up on the bllk manga but i love this man so i present you with ✨this✨ NOT PROOFREAD

content — yukimiya kenyu x fem! reader, afab reader, childhood best friends to lovers, not exactly fluff but it’s cute, lmk if i missed anything!

synopsis — Yukimiya Kenyu had always been told that you were "nothing but trouble" and "terrible danger." Despite that, he still couldn’t keep himself away from you after getting out of the Blue Lock facility.

✿.｡. “ the devil that you know looks now more like an angel” .｡.✿

Yukimiya Kenyu had always been told that you were "nothing but trouble" and "terrible danger." From the time you were children, those words echoed in his ears, coming from concerned parents, wary teachers, and cautious friends.

Try as he might, however, he simply couldn’t get away from you. You’d been his neighbor for about 6 minutes before you’d become a permanent fixture in his life. (much later in life he’d come to realize that his family moving in next door to yours in a new neighborhood would be his biggest blessing)

You had a wild spirit, always dragging him into adventures that left him breathless and exhilarated. He remembered the countless afternoons spent exploring the woods, your laughter ringing through the trees, and the way you’d both collapse into fits of giggles, covered in dirt and utterly happy. You were the albatross around his neck, but in the best way possible, grounding him with your reckless charm.

You were waiting at his doorstep when he got home from the doctor’s appointment that changed his life. No matter what anyone said, you’d never caused trouble for Kenyu— actually, you’d given him a sense of relief he’d never felt before. That day the two of you made a promise, that you’d be there for each other always, no matter what happened.

As the years passed, life pulled you in different directions. Kenyu’s soccer talent was undeniable, and soon he found himself in the Blue Lock facility, chasing dreams of professional glory. Letters and texts became infrequent before he left— focused on practicing, your presence a distant but cherished memory. Yet, in the quiet moments before sleep, he’d think of you, and the promise you’d made to always be there for each other.

And while he wouldn’t tell anyone this, he also thought about the spur of the moment kiss you’d given him when the two of you opened the letter telling him he was invited to the Blue Lock facility.

Yeah, his dream of being Japans best striker and wish to play soccer were what he was focused on…but maybe one day he’d finally muster up the courage to grant himself one wish he’d always wanted…

a life with you.

Years later, as he stood on the pitch for his first professional game, nerves fluttered in his stomach like a thousand butterflies. The stadium roared with anticipation, but his thoughts were elsewhere. He expected his family to be there to watch his game. He scanned the crowd, searching for a few familiar faces among the sea of strangers.

And then he saw you…

You stood out, just as you always had. Your hair was a bit longer, your smile a bit softer, but those eyes were the same ones he’d known since childhood. You waved, a small, hesitant movement, and in that moment, everything else faded away. The doubts, the warnings, the years of separation – none of it mattered.

As the game began, Kenyu played with a new fire, every movement driven by the knowledge that you were there, watching him. He didn’t know how long he could play soccer. He didn’t know how long his dream would be granted. He didn’t know if he’d get the same you he’d known from childhood.

He scored the winning goal, the crowd erupting in cheers, but his eyes never left you during time outs and when he was off the field. After the final whistle blew, he made his way to the stands, ignoring the fans and reporters clamoring for his attention.

He’d all but suffered being apart from you. Why didn’t he try to make a few more memories before going to the facility? He couldn’t even remember now.

Reaching you, he pulled you into a tight embrace, the years that had separated you seeming like they never existed. All the tension in his body began melting away in an instant. "I told you I’d always be there for you," you whispered, your voice barely audible over the noise.

Your recounting of the promise the two of you had made all those years ago made kenyu want to cry.

He had two dreams that could begin fleeting in an instant, but he wouldn’t let another one slip out of his grasp.

"And I’ll always love you," he replied, his voice steady and sure. "No matter how much trouble everyone says you are."

In that moment, Kenyu realized that you were more than just his childhood friend. Sure you were some trouble and tried finding danger in the craziest ways, yet none of it ever mattered to him. To Kenyu, you were the one constant in his life, his anchor in a sea of uncertainties. And nothing anyone said would ever change that.

Mc making matching keychains/good luck charms for the RAD classmates that are of their familiars and matching keychains/good luck charms for the Angel exchange students (like sappy little hearts that magnetize together)

It seems like an adorable idea☺so I'm going to hopefully write some good headcanons and look for some references to add✨:

"RAD CLASSMATES+NEW EXCHANGE STUDENTS WITH A MC MAKING MATCHING KEYCHAINS/LUCKY CHARMS (OF THEIR FAMILIARS FOR THE DEMONS AND THEMED ONES FOR THE ANGELS)"

DEMYA

Demya wouldn't know exactly the occasion for which MC would have decided to buy her a lucky charm keychain and for a few moments, she would even think that she had forgotten some of their anniversaries and would feel like a awful mate, before being reassured by MC that it was just a gift to show their affection. Demya would grin enthusiastically at the sight of the soft lucky charm keychain representing her familiar, a wolverine, squeezing it and giggling with joy as soon as she noticed MC having a an identical one, so they would match. Demya would really appreciate the present, the plush consistency and material of the keychain would be also quite stimulating for her, being able to hold onto it in stressful times to calm down, just like a lucky charm. Demya would tell many about MC's gift for a long time, nuzzling against them as she shows they match

DOMNRA/MOBIM

Domnra would not believe much in lucky charms, therefore he wouldn't consider it necessary to own one, however he would certainly not be the type of demon to refuse a considerable gift from MC, it would be ungrateful of him towards his partner. At the sight of a soft lucky charm keychain representing his familiar, a porcupine, even if fluffier in such circumstances, Domnra would shake his head at MC having a matching keychain, letting out a huff and a few amused chuckles, maybe even a snort, at least Domnra would appreciate the gesture, even if he wouldn't know how safe it would be to carry the kychain around, it might get ruined and he would want to keep it safe (MC was tempted to buy Domnra a Shadow the hedgehog's keychain as a joke, but then decided against it-). For Mobim, MC would buy a small lucky charm keychain that would remind them of the cute little curse's appearance

AZUL

Azul would love small trinkets such as keychains or lucky charms, in fact he would probably have some sort of collection among the sea of ​stuff in his room, including some jewels, like the ones he often wears, accessories such as earrings and necklaces. Azul would squeal at the sight of the matching lucky charm keychains in the shape of his familiar, a blue morpho butterfly, crafted by MC to share as a couple. Azul would them hold them tight in a hug, showering MC with thanks and kisses while praising their artwork. Azul would always carry the lucky charm keychain with him, showing it to everyone with a smug smirk, especially to those who would get jealous (the demon brothers-)

ZURI

MC would know that Zuri has quite refined tastes or that she appreciates simple but elegant things, therefore they would try to create something that compliments Zuri's figure and that is worthy of the demon who would bring the keychain with her, efforts that Zuri would appreciate intensely, because they would be a sign that MC cares about her and knows her well enough. Zuri, at the sight of a lucky charm keychain with the appearance of her familiar, a swan, covered in gems, would smile subtly and kiss MC on their lips, thanking them for the considerable gesture, she wouldn't even mind the ulterior motive of matching, because Zuri would know that both would look very good aesthetically, it would also be a nice memory and it's likely that in the following days Zuri will return the gift with something that MC has wanted for a long time

ODON

To Odon, MC could give a old and half frayed friendship bracelet, that the eldritch being would cherish it anyway and would keep it as safe as a treasure, for them in the end it would be one, because it was a present from MC. However, MC would think of something more elaborate and give Odon a lucky charm keychain similar to their familiars, i.e. the eye-like creatures, almost with a vintage touch to it. Odon would grin and while the eye-like creatures would be busy staring at the keychain like they were having a staring contest, the eldritch being would thank MC from the bottom of their "heart" for the gesture, pointing out that it almost resembles the pendant they sometimes wear, chuckling at the sight of MC with a identical keychain. Odon would always carry the lucky charm with them and would get quite sad if something were to happen to it

REMIEL

Remiel, apart from her robes and some ancient tomes, never received many presents, perhaps because it isn't a celestial custom to receive material gifts that could increase the risk of developing greed, so MC would be even more determined to give something to the angel of death. Remiel would tilt her head at the sight of matching lucky charm keychains representing two little spirits in love, understanding thanks to a gentle nudge from MC that it refers to her celestial duty and their relationship. Remiel would flutter her wings and her silver halo would shine slightly brighter, signs of her contentment and she would thank MC, with a soft faint smile. Remiel would take the lucky charm with her, believing that it corresponds to the human version of a blessing and would like to return MC's gesture by learning a human tradition. Mortals appreciate flowers, right? (Remiel would bring a beautiful bouquet, significant because she would even learn flower language just for that, however she would also uproot a bush, not sure a bouquet would be enough-)

NATHANIEL

Nathaniel wouldn't be used to receiving presents, so it would be a pleasant surprise to discover that MC was kind enough to think not only of him, but of a gift that would be useful for both parts of their relationship. Nathaniel, noticing the lucky charm keychain, would roll his eyes as a gentle tease at the sight of the shape of wings, recognizing it as a reference to his ones, precisely six in total. Nathaniel would pat MC's head and after thanking them with a peace sign, he would promise them that he would always carry the lucky charm keychain with him, not breaking it. In fact, Nathaniel could be often seen in class with the keychain and to anyone who would ask him questions about it, Nathaniel would simply point at MC with one finger and then make the heart sign with his hands

URIEL

The most gifts Uriel has ever received, if they can even be called presents, are modifications to her armor or personalized lessons from some general angels, so she wouldn't be used to receiving anything more sentimental. At first Uriel would be suspicious of the gift, as if she expected MC to tell her that they had messed up something or that they needed a favor, however once she was sure that it wasn't one of those cases, Uriel's eyes would widen and her wings ruffle at seeing the lucky charm keychain in the shape of a golden sword with wings. Uriel would fangirl over the keychain for a bit, before recovering, clearing her throat and thanking MC for the present, even if a warrior angel like her doesn't need luck, only skills. In any case, Uriel would always carry the lucky charm with her, smiling fleetingly when she would notice MC with a matching keychain. Uriel would kinda feel indebted to MC

Nervous || Damian Priest x Reader

Summary: Damian asks you out on a date and you're so nervous you feel like you're gonna die

As you stand in front of the mirror, adjusting your outfit nervously, you can't help but feel like your heart might leap right out of your chest. Damian Priest, the enigmatic and charming WWE Superstar, has asked you out on a date. You pinch yourself to make sure it's not a dream, but the butterflies in your stomach tell you otherwise. As Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch's protege, you've faced formidable opponents in the ring, but this feels like a whole different battle.

Just as you start to spiral into a whirlwind of nerves, Becky walks into the room, her signature fiery hair catching the light. She's been your mentor, friend, and role model throughout your journey in the WWE, and you know there's no one better to turn to for advice.

"Hey, champ," Becky says with a knowing smile. "I can see you're a bit jittery. It's just a date, remember? You've got this!"

You manage a weak smile, trying to steady your breathing. "I know, but it's Damian! He's so cool, and I don't want to mess things up."

Becky chuckles, placing a reassuring hand on your shoulder. "I get it. But you're an amazing person, both in and out of the ring. Just be yourself. Damian asked you out because he likes who you are."

She begins to help you prepare, giving you tips on how to stay relaxed and confident. As you get ready, Becky shares some of her own experiences with first dates and how she dealt with nerves. Her stories, filled with humor and wit, start to lighten the heavy atmosphere around you.

"You know, I was a bundle of nerves when I first went on a date with Seth," Becky confesses, her eyes reflecting fond memories. "But we just connected, and it felt natural. It's okay to be nervous; it shows you care."

Her words offer a sense of comfort, reminding you that everyone goes through this, even seasoned superstars like her. As she finishes helping you get ready, she gives you a wink in the mirror. "You look great, love. Damian will be blown away!"

With Becky's encouragement echoing in your mind, you head out to meet Damian at the agreed-upon location. As you arrive, he flashes a warm smile, making you feel a little weak at the knees.

"Hey, you made it," Damian greets you with genuine enthusiasm.

"Yeah, I did," you respond, trying to sound more confident than you feel.

As the evening unfolds, you find yourself gradually relaxing, and the initial awkwardness dissipates. Damian turns out to be a gentleman with a great sense of humor, and you realize that the connection you have is real. The conversation flows effortlessly, and you share laughs and stories, realizing that Becky was right all along – just be yourself.

As the night draws to a close, you feel a newfound sense of gratitude for Becky's guidance and support. She not only helped you calm your nerves but also reminded you of the strong, capable person you are. You know that you'll cherish this experience and that your journey as a WWE Superstar and as Becky's protege has led you to this moment – a moment of happiness and personal growth.

And as you bid farewell to Damian, a smile plays on your lips, and you can't wait to share the details of the date with Becky. Your heart may have been racing at the beginning, but now it's filled with gratitude, excitement, and the joy of forming a connection with someone special. You'll always be grateful for the mentorship of Seth and Becky, and for tonight, as it marks a beautiful chapter in your life – one that you'll treasure as you continue to grow, both inside and outside the ring.

Hope your day is as great as you are

A Morning's Echo

Tachihara Michizou x male reader

First tickle fic 💙🫂

You awoke slowly, feeling warm and content. As consciousness returned, memories of the previous night also surfaced - sharing dinner and laughter with Michizou, intimate moments of affection. Rolling over with a smile, you found the other side of the bed empty but still bearing the impression of his form.

You padded down the hall following the enticing aroma of coffee and something sweet baking. Rounding the corner, the sight that greeted you was utterly charming. Michizou, clad only in pajama pants, stood at the stove attending to a skillet. His ginger hair was tousled from sleep, and he hummed softly to himself, completely at ease. Not wanting to disturb this idyllic scene, you lingered in silence, drinking in every detail.

After a few minutes, Michizou turned - and his serene expression transformed to one of mischief upon seeing you. "Good morning, sleepyhead," he greeted. "I was just about to come wake you for breakfast."

Closing the distance between you, Michizou wrapped strong arms around your waist and drew you near. You melted into his embrace, utterly content. "You're in an awfully good mood this morning," you observed, leisurely trailing fingertips along his bare back.

Michizou hummed in agreement, breath stirring your hair. "I am. Last night was wonderful." His hands found your -too ticklish- tummy, and suddenly you were squirming and laughing helplessly in his grasp. "But someone was being a bit of a brat when they fell asleep, I seem to recall." His deft fingers moved relentlessly, eliciting shrieks of mirth.

Through tears of laughter, you managed to gasp, "Michi- stop! I yield!" He relented, eyes dancing with affection. Your heart swelled near to bursting with love for this man. All was peaceful and joyful in this little paradise you shared, and you had no desire for the blissful morning to ever end.

The days that followed found you and Michizou falling deeper in love each moment. Though work duties separated you much of the day, he made a point to "check in" regularly with teasing reminders of that morning. A tap to the ribs here, a playful squeeze there - each light touch sending tingles through you as vividly as his caress.

While Michizou's lingering gazes and butterfly kisses affirmed his tenderness, you also sensed a new gleam of discovery in his eyes. He was learning your secrets; unlocking the pathways to eliciting your most genuine smiles, blushes and giggles of joy. Though you'd always worn confidence as easily as your coat, here in his hands you felt discovered - and intoxicatingly safe.

That evening he ushered you inside, locking the door with slow deliberateness that quickened your breath. Without warning, arms enveloped your waist and dexterous fingers descended upon your most ticklish zones without mercy. You dissolved instantly into helpless laughter, writhing in his grasp to no avail as his playful ministrations left you dizzy.

"Such a brave and bold partner..." Michizou purred against your ear between bouts, "And yet here is where you shine most brightly for me. Admit you live for these moments of joyful surrender." His caresses slowed, smoothing soothing circles. You leaned back trustingly into his embrace, sighing contentedly.

Yes, here with Michizou you felt truly seen and cherished - even in surrendered bliss. His care opened intimacies beyond touch; it cultivated understanding and passion that would nurture your bond for years to come.

Garden and her lover

Before you met me , I was a barren land, neglected and ruined. My trees were stripped bare of their luscious green leaves,picked apart and trampled on by the ghosts of past lovers. Not a single flower was in sight, every last one had wilted in misery crushed by the venomous wrath of hatred and agony trapped within my soil.

Even when some semblance of a seedling formed, she cowered her head in melancholy afraid to trust the warmth of love for fear of being burned again. The once flourishing myriad of fauna that thrived my grounds were now reduced to prickly thorn bushes stinging with painful memories of betrayals and broken hearts.

It was then you came into my garden like a drizzle of hope after a starving drought of despair. Like a mother's delicate touch you tended to my dirt with patience and planted the seeds of your love.

Even during the days when I was plagued with self-doubt and would conspire with the wind to scream at you that I may not bear the fruits of your painstaking labour,you would sit with me in silence and run your hand healingly through every insignificant shrub and weed that grew.

The once blush pale beating heart of my garden was turning crimson red with a newfound purpose just like the roses you planted.Soon arrived the morning glories always in awe of your beguiling smile ready to whisper sweet nothings and extend their vines with gratitude to feel your soft enduring palms.

Then came the lavenders with their saccharine fragrance that would send me into a childlike whimsy and entrance my head with thoughts of you. The lavenders were my favorite because it reminded me of your face that glistened with purple hue and purple meant passion,the sheer unwavering passion of yours that turned my disfigured soil into the Eden the gods blessed your kind with.

The edges of your temple wrinkled like the swirls of an old tree stump but unlike the sophisticated spirals of your exterior your heart remained guarded like a shy tulip worried if the world would mock the way the petals of your mind unfolded.

Yet, during the winter nights when you would rest your weary head on my grass patch saying your musings to the moon, I would listen clandestinely to the wisdom you gained from travelling treacherous rocky paths, how they scarred your feet but disciplined your mind.

You taught me humility so I won't gloat over my vibrant carnations but appreciate their impermanence as with the ever-changing unforgiving seasons and immerse in their exquisite beauty even if, just for a moment.

And just like the notion of love even if the cherry blossoms I cherished so dearly in spring were to wither I would console myself knowing that camellias in the winter would await me.

Like a sunflower that lifts up her glowing yellow petals with cheerful exuberance your perseverance taught me to look adversity in its monstrous pouncing eyes such that even if the sky in her envy were to send ravenous thunderstorms or the sun were to scorn upon us with his scorching glances I would not falter but continue to bloom in rebellion.

Yet I knew, when the vicious hearsays from ravens turned my spirits down you would let me revel in the shade of your strength like a tall and mighty banyan tree.

The butterflies who would travel from lands far away would be swayed by your lustful charm. And while my most eye-catching petunias and freesias would seduce them with sweet nectar and striking petals the fluttery beings would insist on sitting upon the throne of your nose and staring into the alluring blooming irises within your eyes.

My poppies would dance devotedly to the melodious cacophony of your voice and my lilies would wish for a trickle of your sweat to fall upon them so that they may taste salvation and shimmer with pollen of adoration in your presence.

The flowers in my garden shall forever be a testament to the unrelenting love and kindness you showed me and every last seed shall be born praising your name. Alas, my dear remember that when the nights get too lonely and the days filled with drudgery lean your tired frame against my branches so that I may caress your face with dandelion kisses and help you find the courage to sprout again just as you did with me.

Emma and Lily were two young women in their mid-twenties who had grown up together in the city. Best friends since childhood, they decided to take a weekend trip to a small, quaint town nestled in the mountains to escape their hectic urban lives. The town was charming, with its picturesque streets, cozy cafes, and a peculiar local legend that piqued their curiosity.

The legend spoke of a large bear statue in the town square that, according to local lore, had a mystical power. The bear was said to guide lost souls to where they were truly meant to be. Emma and Lily found the tale amusing but ultimately dismissed it as nothing more than a quirky local story. Little did they know, their visit would turn out to be far more transformative than they could have ever imagined.

As they strolled through the town, they couldn't help but notice the bear statue. It stood proudly in the center of the square, a majestic figure carved with intricate details. The bear held a butterfly gently on its nose, adding an almost magical touch to its presence.

"Look at that bear, Emma. It's like something out of a fairytale," Lily remarked, snapping a photo with her phone.

Emma chuckled. "Yeah, but I doubt it's going to lead us anywhere. It's just a statue."

They continued exploring the town, but strangely, they found themselves repeatedly drawn back to the bear statue. Each time they returned, something subtle but significant changed within them.

The first time they circled back to the statue, both women felt a strange tingling sensation in their skin. They shrugged it off, attributing it to the crisp mountain air. However, when they looked at their hands, they noticed a faint layer of fine, dark hair beginning to sprout.

"Is it just me, or are our hands getting hairier?" Lily asked, bewildered.

Emma stared at her own hands in shock. "This is weird. Let's just move on."

Despite their intentions to leave, they found themselves back at the statue yet again. This time, the changes were more pronounced. Their arms thickened, muscles bulging slightly as their shirts grew tighter around their chests. Their voices dropped an octave, and a light scruff began to form on their chins.

Emma rubbed her face, feeling the rough stubble. "What the hell is happening to us?"

Lily's eyes widened as she noticed her reflection in a shop window. Her features were becoming more masculine, her frame broader. "We need to get out of here."

But as much as they tried to distance themselves from the statue, an inexplicable force kept pulling them back. The next visit brought even more dramatic changes. Their hips narrowed, and their chests flattened, while their legs grew sturdier and more muscular. The hair on their bodies thickened, covering their once-smooth skin in a dense layer of fur.

Their clothes no longer fit properly, stretching to accommodate their changing bodies. Emma's plaid shirt strained against her broadening shoulders, while Lily's jeans barely clung to her muscular thighs. They looked at each other, fear and confusion in their eyes, but also an emerging recognition of something deeper.

The final transformation came when they found themselves back at the bear statue for the last time. Their faces fully morphed into masculine features, beards growing thick and full. Their hair darkened and became coarser. Their memories of being Emma and Lily faded, replaced by new identities and a deep bond as boyfriends.

The sun set on the town, casting a warm glow over the square. Two men stood in front of the bear statue, holding hands and gazing at each other with love and affection. They no longer remembered their lives as Emma and Lily. Instead, they were now Alex and Ben, a happy and content couple who cherished their town and the legend of the bear that had brought them together.

Alex brushed a lock of Ben's hair away from his face, smiling. "I don't know what it is about this statue, but I feel like it brought us together."

Ben nodded, squeezing Alex's hand. "Me too. It's like this is where we're meant to be."

They shared a kiss, the final piece of their transformation complete. The bear statue watched over them, a silent guardian of their new lives and love.

My Wedding Vows // 6.07.24

“I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start over again.” -F. Scott Fitzgerald

To My Future Husband, 

As we stand here today, facing one another, surrounded by our beloved families and friends, at the top of a beautiful Colorado mountain, I truly feel like the luckiest girl. 

Let me first take a few steps back to the moment our paths crossed. It was a cloudy Cleveland October day at 6am in the morning, and I was already dreading our upcoming two week internal medicine rotation and the long hours that were sure to come. You greeted me with a cheerful and welcoming smile, and I instantly felt more at ease. My first impression of you was incredibly positive, as my friends surely remember, because I texted in our group chat about how good-looking you were, and how confident you seemed. You made normally boring work days fun with your upbeat energy and sometimes shockingly unfiltered humor. Somehow, what should have been an exhausting two weeks became one of my most enjoyable and treasured memories of residency training. I didn’t know it yet at that time, but I was undoubtedly falling in love.

Growing up, I spent countless hours checking out fiction romance novels from the library, reading story after story about star-crossed lovers, some with fairytale endings, and others in romanticized tragedy. I used to dream about my own Prince Charming one day - someone dashingly handsome, smart and accomplished, a protector and a provider. At some point in my life, as I grew older and realized life was often not a fiction love story with a guaranteed happy ever after, my focus for finding a life partner turned to security rather than romance. I traded in 'butterflies' for 'avoiding loneliness', and my long list of an ideal husband for a more practical list of, “mostly just has to love me”, thinking this was the natural price of growing up. I stopped letting myself dream because I was scared of disappointment. 

After meeting you, however, it felt as if God orchestrated a reminder for me to remember the girl behind the woman, and to re-discover what it means to follow your dreams and take a chance on both oneself and on someone else. The practical side of me felt like you were too good to be true, that there had to be a catch somewhere, that nobody is truly this kind yet also accomplished, funny, charismatic, and handsome, a “checks off every box” type of guy. But the more time we spent together, the more you helped me lay these doubts and insecurities aside. I love you for not only all these amazing qualities you possess, but also for helping me learn to love myself, to be brave, to have faith, to chase all my dreams, and to love without fear. I know I’ve said a lot of things today, but if you forget everything else, I want you to remember this: You are my dream come true.   

In you, I have found a partner who shares my values and my dreams. A partner who is not only dedicated to our relationship but to serving everyone around you with unwavering commitment and humility. Your loyalty to your friends and family is a reflection of the depth of your character, and I am honored to stand by your side as your equal, your best friend, and your forever partner.

Today and all of our tomorrows, I promise to cherish and celebrate all that makes you the incredible person that you are. I promise to be the biggest supporter in your ambitions, to stand by you in times of joy and sorrow, and to always put our commitment to each other first. Beloved, today I give you both my heart and my soul, knowing that together we are stronger than we could ever be apart. I am so grateful and excited for the future that we are building together and the adventures yet to come. With you by my side, I feel seen, loved, protected, and strengthened. With you by my side, I am already living my happy ever after.

Sweet Boy

Pair: Steve Harrington x reader

Warning: Angst, heartache, abuse, bullying

Summary: With heartache you wrote your goodbyes.

You have never thought about him that way before he was just your best friend, someone that has stood by your side when everybody just pushed you down.

He was your hero and your everything, you always thought that nothing can change until the light hit and he was just no longer just your best friend. He was the boy that your preteen heart idolized and wanted to make hers.

When junior high hit those brown eyes that were once plain turned into a brown oak that just twinkled when the sun hit them. The butterflies that were once foreign in your body overtook and all you saw was a bright shiny light when your e/c hit those dreamy eyes and that crooked smile he charmed you with.

Then high school hit and the illusion you had that nothing can destroy the magical friendship you hold dear to with the brown eyed boy that was once nothing to the small town turned a whole 180 and he was the most popular guy, the king, that all the girls wanted a piece of and you stayed the girl that cling to the boy from the past.

The little boy that took you in his arms when the screaming matches of your took parents took a toll on you or the bruises that will appear on your body when the kids in school were bored and used you as their toy.

Now in his way stood the imposter the brown eyes boy that once looked at you with adoration now was looking past you. Now the person he was waiting for was someone that never would have given him a glance before he was somebody and now you were the one that was getting crumbs of his attention.

The similar situation you have with your father, you were now living it with the boy or might now say guy that was once your hero.

Gone was the boy that gave you butterflies and was now filling your eyes with tears that never were supposed to fall. Gone was the sweet love that now turned bitter from all the sourness that he filled your heart with.

Thank you for the beautiful memories that I will always cherish that the sweet young boy gave me but I can’t go on and keep living the life of an imposter. I wish you the best, Steve Harrington.

Goodbye,

Y/N

Andrés Majano ♦ Cis Man (he/him) ♦ Forty ♦ Civilian ♦ Football manager with Arsenal FC

Ruthlessness is a virtue in this game, on the pitch. If the players aren’t willing to embrace that, then they have no business being in my team.

We all have this earliest memory which never leaves our mind. To some, it’s the first day at school, a particularly nice day or, more often, a small fright. Either way, those memories usually date back to the age of 3 to 6 years old.

Andrés didn’t have a memory predating the day he woke up in a hospital. He had been in a coma for months and neither the doctors or the police, despite their best efforts, could figure out how that boy wound up shipped in a box, or where he came from at all. Whoever had put him in there had left absolutely no traces behind them, and soon, he was placed in an orphanage. To the social workers’ surprise, the boy was well spoken, polite and had received an education. He was adopted by a Spanish businessman and his wife, and his life only began then.

He spent the end of his childhood in Málaga, on the southern coast of Spain, learned the language, and displayed an interest for football, a sport he’d played in his former life. If he also had spent countless hours riding horses and fencing, those were hobbies he wasn’t exposed to, and therefore never found himself drawn to. If his father would have preferred his son took over the business, a scout for Málaga CF decided otherwise. By the time he was 15, Andrés would spend more time on the pitch than he did in classrooms, and he debuted his professional career by the time he turned 17.

Soon enough, he shone too bright for his Andalusian club and transferred to Milan and then Turin. But, his goal, like many other players before him, had always been England and the Premiere league, and his dream came true when he wound up playing for Arsenal FC from the age of 23 until the age of 31. Finishing his career with Bayern München, he retired at 34 and dedicated the next couple of years to his new mission. Andrés was a born leader, having often found himself the designated team captain in his teams, and he didn’t want to be one of those football players who ended up forgotten by the time he turned 40.

But life wasn’t only rainbows and butterflies, and even the most successful men had their demons. If he made it a point to keep himself in good shape, and always encouraged his team mates and now his players of doing the same, Andrés wasn’t as strong psychologically speaking. He had his vices : he slept around, a fear of abandonment keeping him from ever trusting anyone enough for longer company, and he found enjoyment in gambling : sometimes, he was successful, some others... not so much. He spends a fortune paying back the Red Rose Casino yet can’t stop himself from going back. Eventually, his generous salary won’t be able to cover all of his expenses and people will start talking.

+ / -  decisive, pragmatic, federator, charming, insecure, secretive, ruthless, severe

Over the course of his career, Andrés has played as a midfielder in many clubs (finishing his career with FC Bayern München) and with the Spanish national team. The highlights of his career will remain a World and European title with Spain (2010 and 2012).

Andrés has a distinctive burn mark on his hand, which dates back from before his adoption. He doesn’t remember where it comes from, and will come up with a different story to explain it each time he’s asked about it.

He bought a house in Kensington, London not too far from Hyde Park, the train station or the Arsenal stadium, but though he owns other places in each place he played, Andrés had to sold already one of them in order to reimburse the Jabberwocks.

Each of his houses has a garden attached to it : Andrés finds solace putting his hands in the dirt and making sure each and every plant gets everything it needs to thrive. His garden is a place sacred to him and one he cherishes more than any other possession. He puts a lot of thought and time into it.

Having lived in Spain and played in Italy, England and Germany, Andrés speaks all four languages with acceptable fluency.
