Prompt : The Mean Girls of Wayne Enterprises

Hear me out…. Mean Girls but make it DCxDP.

The public personas that the bats present, modeled after “Brucie” Wayne are the perfect templates for Mean Girls shenanigans.

Imagine : Our favourite ghost boy has decided to venture out into the world after making sure that Amity would be safe and secure (perks of being the recently crowned King). Danny knows he’d never pass the physical tests to be an astronaut but that doesn’t mean he can’t at least achieve part of his space dream. He’d done his research, very thoroughly at that, and overall it was Wayne Enterprises that came out on top. Their aerospace department was miles ahead of the competition - presumably something to do with Bruce Wayne literally being the one funding the Justice League (and if rumour is to be believed, the OG sugar daddy for a certain Bat).

Disregarding Danny’s personal feelings about the JL, the chance to create technology that will be used in SPACE, for space exploration and understanding was too good to pass up.

Just the thought alone filled him with a sense of contentment. Thankyou space obsession.

Which is what had lead to the current situation - an internship at Wayne Enterprises itself. How he landed it, he has no clue - sure, he’s got some smarts (much more than he’ll give himself credit for) but his grades had suffered from his years of literally saving the city (and by extension, the world). Perhaps it was fate? Or more likely, a meddling time god…

Danny wasn’t complaining though.

Only three hours in to the position and he was barely containing his excitement - literally, the fulfillment of his secondary obsession, regardless of how second hand it might be, created such a buzz in his core. He was having to consciously stop his more ghostly attributes from shining through - not even metaphorically shining, damn you LED freckles (yes we’re using the concept of Danny’s ghost from reflecting his love of space - constellation freckles and all)

Now though, he had been released to break in the cafeteria. There was a panicked moment of ‘oh shit, where do I sit?’ But thankfully, his (half) life was saved by one of his new coworkers calling him over with a friendly wave.

“Hey, Daniel, right?”

“I go by Danny but yeah, thanks for the save there��� a awkward laugh at his own words, “didn’t expect it to feel like high school all over again”

There’s polite laughter amongst the table and the conversation flows over to casual small talk. At least, it does until out of nowhere, all eyes jump to the doors.

Enter : The Plastics.

Richard Grayson - the dumbest guy you’ll ever meet.

“Once, he asked me why aster isn’t the opposite of disaster”

Timothy Drake - knows everything about everyone.

“That’s why his eyebags are so big - they’re full of secrets”

And the queen bee, Damian Wayne.

“Once he called me an uncultured swine… it was awesome”

(I don’t know what’s better - Damian aged up to match Danny or tiny Damian being Regina)

What follows is a comedic story: Danny meeting the three, them assuming he’s going to be out of touch being from the Midwest (he is but only in the sense that his version of normal is Fenton dumbfuckery) , him eventually getting past their public personas by just not giving a shit for their drama - he grew up with the QUEEN of mean girls, the Wayne boys have nothing on Paulina Sanchez.

Just, Mean girls Waynes… that’s it - that’s the post.

Regina George esque reader who is in a situationship with Hazel and hazel fucks reader into admitting they have genuine feelings for Hazel, loser Hazel because that’s still hot to me

HOLY SHIT YES

listen to hazels spotify here, and her taylor swift jam session here ₊ ⊹₊ ⊹

reqs are open!

18+ under the cut

your life is spent terrorizing the halls of rockbridge in mini skirts and high heels. you’re untouchable, able to do anything that you please. teachers and students alike cower at the sound of your high heels click clacking through the hallway.

but, one girl never cowers.

you adore her; her shaggy brunette hair, her soft skin, the way she always smelled of musk and ivy. you love the fact that she was a loser, escaping your high profile life in between the sheets.

but she doesn’t know just how much you love her.

you were the queen of rockbridge, how are you supposed to come out guns ablazing that not only are you fucking the resident loser lesbian, but you’re in love with her? feelings are always be kept down, and you must keep a level head. nothing can get in your way with that mindset.

the sound of the bell ringing coincided with hazel slamming you against the wall of the janitors closet, pinning you down with her muscular arms.

“miss me?”

“you wish.” you spat back at her.

“my house, eight?” she asks, lips centimeters away from yours, teasing you.

“only if you promise to not be a fucking tease.” desperately grinding your heat into her thigh.

“oh baby,” she replies, “you know i don’t make promises like that.”

you hobble out, readjusting your skirt, and school continues like normal, besides hazel obviously checking you out in 6th period, to which you roll your eyes and scoff at her. it’s near impossible to do that to her, to crush her soul like that. all you want to do is run over and apologize and kiss her better.

a super moon just peeks out out from behind the clouds as you park in hazels driveway. as always, she whisks you away up into her room, stripping you before you could even think twice.

“hazel…please…” she kisses you passionately, hands still working clumsily to unbutton your skirt and discard it.

“lay down for me, angel.” god rest the soul who ever disrespects hazel callahan, so you obey. “being such a tease for me today, hm? with that little skirt, and that fucking top…” her sentence trails off as her tongue flicks across your nipple, making you groan loudly.

“you’re a cunt.”

“i know baby, but someone has to be brave enough to put the princess in her place.” hazel dips down, her rings cooling your heat, feeling your wetness. “and what might all that be for?”

“you….” you exhale into her as she slips two fingers in almost agonizingly slow. “h-h-hazel….” your eyes instinctively shut, until you suddenly remember her rule about eye contact.

“ah ah ah, eyes on me, got it?” her pumps begin to get increasingly harder, your knuckles going as white as the sheets in fists. she might look like a loser on the outside, but she knows what she’s capable of, and god does she get it hot taming the queen bee.

“alright angel, you get your reward now for being good and keeping eye contact, okay?” you nod as she leans down and plunges her face into between your legs, making you howl and writhe underneath her. there’s nothing in this world like hazels tongue. just as she gets into a rhythm, her two fingers curl up inside your walls again, making you shriek.

everything is black, all you can feel is your orgasm incoming.

“hazel- i’m- im….”

“come for me bab-“

“i’m- iloveyou…iloveyou….”

riding the high from your orgasm off, you return to earth, where hazel is staring over you with those saucer-like eyes of hers.

“did…okay i might just be hearing things…but did you say you love me?” your face goes red, realizing what you’d done, but you can’t lie to the girl.

“y-yeah….uhm..i think i should leave.” you start to gather your clothes, but as you’re rushing out, you knock right into hazel.

“it’s okay….i’m not upset…i….i need you. not just in this way,” she gestures towards the bed, “but like, in a…a new way. if- if you want to try. i’m really good at keeping secrets…”

“hazel, you know we can’t….”

“why? because jeff is gonna cream in his pants from seeing two girls together?” she sits you down on the bed, holding your hand. “i like you, so so much. i like that you’re mean, i like that you have a soft spot for me that you think isn’t obvious at all but it totally is, i like that you are so confident, i like that you’re creative….i like everything about you. i want to make this work, but only if you’re open to it….”

you nod, and connect your lips, feeling a new sense, a new spark, between you.

“you melt my heart, hazel callahan.”

Nightfalls Embrace

Pairing: Regina George x fem!reader

Summary: Regina’s insistence for you to stay the night forces you to tell her about a secret you’ve been hiding.

Word count: 1.4K

— — — —

Regina George is manipulative.

She does whatever she has to in order to get what she wants and she has no qualms about it.

Right now, she wants you to stay the night.

It’s a Friday night so she knows you have nothing to do tomorrow, not to mention it’s like two in the morning so it’s actually a Saturday, and your parents are away on top of that. It’s a perfect situation, if only you weren’t so stubborn.

“Regina, I gotta get home. It’s late.”

“Exactly. It’s late and you’ve been drinking. You’ll be safer here than if you try and drive home.”

You shake your head, a tiny smile rising on your face at her concern. “I’ll be fine, babe. I only had one drink, and I didn’t even finish it.”

It’s absolutely ridiculous how stubborn you’re being about this. This is your safety she’s talking about, nothing else, and she’s not gonna let you risk your life driving home no matter how few drinks you had.

If that means a little manipulation is in order then so be it.

Regina wraps her arms around your neck, her nails lightly stroking along your neck and sending a shiver down your spine. Your hands rest on her hips and she gives you that dazzling smile that never fails to make butterflies appear in your stomach before she leans in and presses her lips against yours.

Your eyes flutter closed and a soft sigh of content escapes your lips around the kiss. Regina flicks her tongue across your bottom lip asking for entrance and you grant it to her immediately, a moan slipping from your lips as her tongue slides against yours. She pulls you closer to her, your bodies flush against each others.

Is it wrong for her to be manipulating you like this? Yes, a hundred percent, but it’s for a good reason so it all balances out.

She pulls away from your lips and you take in desperate lungfuls of air while she presses kisses to your cheek. “Will you please stay the night with me, my love?” She whispers, her warm breath caressing your skin. “It would make me so, so, happy if you did. You can hold me and tell me I’m pretty, and in the morning I can order us breakfast from your favorite place.”

This is so unfair. Regina knows what her kisses do to you, knows that you’re practically weak against them and will give in to her wishes if she kisses you long enough before asking. Combine that with the pouty voice that only you get to hear and you’re practically putty in her hands.

This time is no different.

With your head fuzzy from kisses, you don’t realize the words of agreement that slip from your mouth until it’s too late, and by the time you do you’re sitting on the edge of Regina’s bed dressed in a spare set of her clothes while she rummages around in the bathroom preparing for the night.

You jump at a touch on your chin and look up to see Regina staring down at you. You try to give her a reassuring smile, but you’re sure it comes out as more of a grimace and Regina sighs in response, her eyes softening as she speaks. “You don’t actually have to stay if you don’t want to. I can have my mom drive you home and I can bring your car later.”

You shake your head. “No, no, it’s not that I don’t want to stay. I just…” you trail off, wiping your hands down your face roughly. “God, this is so stupid, it’s embarrassing.”

There’s a distinct reason you wanted to get home. It has nothing to do with want because the truth is you’ve wanted to spend the night with Regina before, but embarrassment is holding you back. You’ve got a secret and it’s one you’re deeply ashamed of because it’s so stupid and shouldn’t even be an issue.

No one else has this problem, no normal person has this problem. Regina doesn’t have this problem. Why do you? Why can’t you be like everyone else?

Your vision’s starting to blur, you can feel the tears building in the corner of your eyes, but you refuse to cry over this, over something so childish, especially in front of your girlfriend.

You squeeze your eyes shut and try to force back your tears, but a soft call of your name has the dam cracking open. The tears escape before you can stop them and Regina cradles you in her arms, your hands clutching her tight to you for the last time because there’s no way she’ll want to stay with you once she finds out how much of a loser you are. You sniffle and release a shaky breath, choking out the words you were planning to take to the grave. “I’m scared of the dark, Regina. I can’t sleep without a nightlight.”

Regina shifts above you and you tense, bracing yourself for her mockery and the inevitable breakup to follow. You know this is going to be in the Burn Book, you can already see it. There’s no reason for you not to be now since you’re not gonna be dating the Queen B anymore. “Babygirl,” she whispers.

“I’m sorry for being such a loser,” you blurt out before you can stop yourself, mouth moving faster than your brain can comprehend. The words are escaping as they come to your head long before you can take the time to process them. “I know you don’t want to date me anymore now and that’s okay, I can live with that. I’ll probably never move on, but you can go date someone normal, someone who’s not a baby that-,”

Warm hands on your cheeks tilt your head up and soft lips collide with yours in a gentle kiss. It’s quick and sweet and you don’t really get a chance to reciprocate, but it does its job of distracting you and quieting your brain, giving her a chance to speak. “Breathe, baby, you’re spiraling.” She reaches up, wiping away your tears with the pad of her thumb and slowly, your breathing begins to steady. “There you go, love. Just like that. Now, I need you to listen to me, okay?”

You nod and blink your eyes open to meet hers.

“I love you and you being afraid of the dark is not going to change that. Nyctophobia is a very real fear and your age does not invalidate your feelings like you think it does. Everyone is scared of something, some just hide it better, but that doesn’t make you any less normal.”

“Do you have any fears?”

Your voice is barely above a whisper and for a few moments there’s no answer until finally, Regina speaks up, her voice level matching yours. “Being forgotten.”

You furrow your brows, looking at Regina in confusion. She has athazagoraphobia? Of all the possible fears she could’ve said, you never would’ve expected her to have a social fear, but when you think about it, it makes sense. Everyone bows down to her and follows everything she does so you think it’s natural she’d be nervous about such a thing. Not to mention, her father’s a dick who left her and her mother and sister to have a new family and never spoke to them again like they never even mattered to him; like she never even mattered to him.

Asshole.

You take Regina’s hand in yours and bring it to your lips, pressing a gentle kiss to her skin. “I’d never forget you, Regina.”

Regina giggles, wiping away the single tear that managed to escape. “I know, Princess, thank you. Now, why don’t you go wash those dried tears away, hm?”

You do so, the cool water against your heated skin making you sigh in relief, and when you emerge from the bathroom, your lips part in shock at the golden galaxy strewn across the ceiling from the night light projector sitting atop Regina’s dresser. A smile spreads across your face at the sight and you can’t help the happy tears that appear in the corner of your eyes as you gaze up in awe, a small laugh escaping because you know she took this from Kylie’s room so you could be comfortable.

Regina’s waiting for you in bed and you crawl in next to her, falling into her waiting arms. You lay your head on her chest, her heart beating soothingly in your ears while her fingers run lightly up and down your side, pulling a gentle sigh from you as your eyes begin to flutter. “Thank you for this, Regina,” you murmur. “I love you.”

Regina presses a kiss to your temple and the last thing you hear before sleep claims you is her soft, “I love you too, Princess.”

I threw it away

Masterlist<< I mostly write Natasha romanoff but if you have a request I’ll be happy to write Regina.

Pairings: Regina George x reader

Prompt: weight had never been a tricky thing for y/n. Until she started dating Regina.

Warnings: bad relationships with food/weight

A/N: idk I wanted to write something like this to show that an ED or a relationship with weight can change even when you’re older and not just at girlhood i guess? Just remember that you are so perfect and loved.

Y/n’s pov

I started dating Regina during the summer between our junior and senior year.

I used to be friends with Janis. That is until I found out what she did to Regina.

I don’t care if a girl is your mortal enemy. You don’t mess around with her biggest insecurities. Even if it’s what she flaunts the most.

Especially not weight. Those Kalteen bars were horrible of janis to do.

I slowly just got “busier” over time. And I eventually just stopped talking to Janis all together. I didn’t want to surround myself with that energy.

So after Regina got hit by that bus I started visiting her and trying to make it up to her.

It might not have happened if I just told her what they did.

But then again, we might not have started dating. So back to now.

I basically have been living at Regina’s place. I spend the night a lot, but if I go home then Gina is always picking me up when I can go.

My parents don’t care much. They say that I’m allowed to live my life. Thank goodness they’re laid back. Of course not as much as Mrs George but they believe that as long as I’m not getting drunk, high, or pregnant then I’m good.

I’m in Gina’s room and she gets up and says

“I’m going to the bathroom.”

I get up to go with her.

“Okay!”

She’s like the black cat and I’m like the golden retriever. But we work really well together.

She walks in and does her business and then after she washes her hands and all, she decides to head over to the scale.

I’ve never used it. But she uses it all the time.

She breaks me out of my thoughts when she thinks out loud

“Yes! Back down to my ideal 120 pounds” (about 54 kilograms?)

I frown. I’ve never heard her say her weight before. And I say

“Congrats baby! Was that from all the kalteen bars?”

She nods her head and says

“I finally worked all the weight off”

I smile and kiss her and say

“That’s great. Why don’t you go tell your mom?”

She shrugs and says

“Eh. It doesnt matter. I’m gonna go back to the room okay?”

I nod my head and say

“I’m gonna pee”

She doesn’t stay since I’m a bit pee shy still so when she leaves I quickly run to the scale and check my weight.

Definitely not Regina’s ideal weight.

Suddenly I feel this rush of guilt fall over me. I walk back to her bed and crawl in with her. As she scrolls through her phone, I get lost in my thoughts.

If Regina tells me I’m perfect the way I am then why would she lie? Obviously she wants to be a certain weight. And if it’s her ideal weight then she clearly wants me to be that way too. I need to lose more weight. Maybe I’ll start a diet. That’s good. I’ll start a diet and just won’t tell Gina until I hit her desired weight and then she’ll think I’m perfect for real.

“What’s on your mind?”

I snap out of it and shake my head

“Nothing! Just watching videos over your shoulder”

She squints at me and says

“Alright. You know if you need anything you can tell me right?”

I nod my head.

Then all of a sudden Mrs George comes into the room and says

“Hey girls! I just wanted to let you know that I made my world famous cookies and they’re cooling in the kitchen right now if you wanted to grab them while they’re warm.”

I smile and Regina gets up so I follow.

She grabs one and says

“Aren’t you gonna eat one?”

I shake my head and say

“I’m not hungry.”

She hums and says

“But you love my mom’s cookies. You always eat a few”

I just now realized how much I eat of those and get slightly flustered so I say

“I’m just not hungry right now”

She nods her head and eats her cookie.

They do smell heavenly. But I must stay strong.

We head back upstairs after Gina finishes her cookie and I go on my phone to look up good diet routines. I find a decent one to start with.

If I don’t like it then I’ll do another one.

So I text my mom and ask her if she can get a few things the next time she goes to the store and she agrees.

Then I turn around and yawn.

“Y/n are you sleepy?”

I nod my head and she says

“Take a nap baby. I’ll be here when you wake up.”

I smile and let my eyes flutter closed and Regina whispers into my ear

“My perfect girl”

I smile at her even though it’s fake. I don’t feel perfect anymore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s been a few weeks on this diet and it’s hard. It’s hard for me to reject a bunch of the foods I love.

Thankfully Mrs George also makes some keto versions of her food every now and then so I can eat those.

I have a routine now. Every time I go to the bathroom I check my weight right after. I check my weight in the mornings and in the evenings. But only at Regina’s house since I am here all the time.

We’re watching tv on her bed and I say

“I gotta pee. I’ll be right back”

Gina nods and says

“Kk”

I do my business and wash my hands. But it isn’t until I go to where her scale is that I find it’s not there.

I look around the room and I don’t see it anywhere.

“Gina?”

I say loud enough for her to hear me.

“Yeah?”

Once I know I have her attention I say

“Where’s the scale?”

“Oh.. I threw it away”

After she says that I walk quickly to the room and say

“What?! What do you mean you threw it away?”

She shrugs as always and says

“I threw it away”

“Why would you do that? I need to see my weight.”

She gets up and comes to me and says

“I threw it away because I noticed that you’ve been doing this thing where you check your weight all the time.”

“Well you check yours all the time too!”

For some reason this is like a huge deal to me. I just want to be perfect for her. She grabs my hand and sits me down and says

“I know. I realized how bad that can be for my mental health. So I decided that I was going to lose the weight from those nasty kalteen bars and then start fresh. I, of course, have been having a healthy balance between my food intake. But it’s not a huge deal if I lose weight or gain weight. As long as I’m healthy.”

I look at her and say

“Oh. That’s nice.”

She nods her head and continues

“I noticed that once I stopped, you started. And I didn’t want that for you. You have never had to worry about your weight before because it was never a bad thing in your house. Most girls would call you lucky. And I don’t want you to start thinking bad about yourself now”

I frown and say

“But you said the ideal weight is 120?” (54)

She sighs and says

“I said that wrong. I wanted to get back to my baseline and start taking care of myself properly. The only reason I lost that weight in the first place was because I didn’t want to feel like Janis had that hold on my body anymore. If I was gonna gain weight it was going to be for myself. And because of myself. Not for anyone else and not because of anyone else.”

I nod my head in understanding and she puts one of her hands on my cheek and the other on my waist and says

“I’m sorry you ever felt less than perfect because of a stupid slip up I made. Your body is literally so beautiful.”

I doubt her until she says things that most people think are ugly

“From your beautiful stretch marks. Right down to the cellulite in your legs. It’s all beautiful. Perfect. And honestly. You’re so healthy. You work out. You’re strong. You have a good balance with food. Well, you did before you started whatever diet thing you have going on. And you are literally like a puzzle piece for me. The way we can cuddle perfectly. I love your soft tummy because I can nap on it and be so comfortable. I love your ass and tits because they make great handles for… sexy times…”

I giggle and she continues.

“I love how each and every scar and divot and bump and mark on your body tells a story. It makes you, you. And I would change that for the world. So I threw the scale away. If I’m starting new. Then you are too.”

I sigh as I get a fluttery feeling in my heart and stomach and I hug her. I finally say

“Thank you. Thank you so much”

She shakes her head and says

“No thank you. You’re the one who convinced me I’m perfect the way I am. And now it’s my turn to do the same.”

I pull away and she says

“Why don’t we go downstairs. I think my mom is making us a snack”

I smile and nod my head.

We head downstairs and Mrs George is making snickerdoodles and I smell the air and say

“It smells delicious!”

She smiles and says

“I made some keto ones for your diet y/n!”

She pulls out one singular cookie that was set apart from the others and I say

“Oh. No thanks. I’m not gonna diet anymore. My body is perfect the way it is.”

She smiles and nods her head affirming that and then hands each of us a cookie that is still warm and soft from the oven.

I hum when I take the first bite and Gina does it at the same time as me so we end up giggling from it.

This time. I eat two cookies and Gina does the same.

Then Gina asks

“Mom? What did you do with that other cookie?”

She turns around and says

“Oh! I threw it in the trash.”

Gina nods and turns to me. I smile at her and say

“Slay”

We love a good parallel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N: I hope y’all liked it! It’s my first time writing Regina George. But I’m thinking of writing a prequel to this and doing how Janis and y/n had their fall out. And when y/n started being friends with Regina. Let me know what y’all think!

[signanothername]

Heyo! I love your art so much, as well as your mean girl Nightmare(I've halfway been imagining him with a *little* Regina George every time I've read that on this blog, no apologies for it) I was wondering, how do you think he'd react if Dream, Killer, just somebody who knew of his past just says; "You're just like them. The villagers.". Or ANY variation of that? Just the thought of him being the same as his past abusers, tormenting someone he dislikes, for what, because what have they truly done to deserve it? The idea of becoming the same of those who have hurt him, how would he react to that? I feel like if Dream said it, it would be more of an acceptance of how different his brother is, and how he'll never get his Nightmare that he knew and loved back, because his brother would never do this. Killer might say it to be a lil shit and torment him.

Just a thought I had! Hope you're having an fantastic day!

Hello!!! Thank you so much!! <33333 and good good don’t apologize cause it’s completely accurate to think of Regina George and I’m actually guilty of thinking the same thing like honestly fits shhshs

Here’s the Regina George Nightmare we all need

Now back to the main point shdhhd

Y’know funny thing is I can imagine his reaction would definitely differ depending on who says it, if it’s someone like Killer or anyone else other than Dream, I can imagine him feeling slightly offended/angry by it, but it wouldn’t have much of an impact, cause what does Killer truly know? Killer never saw/ known those villagers, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, at least that’s the mindset Nightmare would have, he’d just threaten Killer to zip it or simply throw him across the room

I can’t truly imagine Dream saying such a thing to Nightmare but I can definitely see the opposite with Nightmare saying it to Dream (which cough i already drew before >:) ) but we’re talking hypothetically so let’s talk about how he’d feel if Dream said it cause god, I wholeheartedly believe if Dream said it then hell would break loose

Cause the thing is, Dream was there, he knew those villagers, he knew how they were like and he knew how bad they were, Dream lived those days with him, but even then, while Dream endured a different kind of abuse, the villagers actually loved Dream, and they hated Nightmare, so how could Dream, who never had a single villager lay a finger on him, how could his twin of all people to say to him that he’s like his abusers??? Nightmare would go through the five stages of grief in 5 seconds

He’d be in so much denial, only to settle on pure unfiltered rage, cause how dare Dream, his twin, his blood and magic, tell him that he’s like them?

I can see Nightmare making excuses for his own actions, that he’s only doing all this to make them pay, he’d even say something along the lines of “so what if i am like them??” To convince himself that the idea of being like them doesn’t bother him (all while it fucking eats away at him) I can see Nightmare making excuses for why Dream would think such a thing, “you’re just drained of your magic, you’re confused”

I can see him go after Dream all the more aggressively, intent to kill cause how fucking dare he??

But then I can see the rage and fight leave Nightmare to finally settle on depression and resignation, all while part of him is still (and will forever be) in absolute denial

He knows he’s not like them, he never was and never will be

But why would he be an absolute mess by Dream saying it? Cause I wholeheartedly believe Nightmare would never expect Dream to compare him to the villagers, cause when your own twin says it it just cuts the much much much deeper

Hell I can even see Nightmare actually crying tears of frustration, maybe not in front of Dream cause Nightmare had become so used to isolating himself and keeping his emotions inside, and with his mindset of never wanting to appear weak he’d only let those tears out once he is sure he’s all alone

Because by god, he never thought it’d hurt so much to hear those words uttered by his brother, but they did hurt, and he’ll hurt Dream all the much worse for it

(Same to you!! Hope you’re haveing a wonderful day/night <333)

omg congrats on your 100 followers milestone ⭐️⭐️ can i get a posy bouquet of 15 roses? make the bouquet that will remind you of leftover feelings by regina song. i’ll give it suna rintarou 🙈🙈 my boy

suna rintaro!

❛So between me and you and this floor and this ceiling//I've been wanting to say//I have leftover feelings for you❜ — leftover feelings by regina song

warnings! hurt to comfort, gn!reader, songfic, suna is a player, situationship implied (??), mentions of crying, suna is kind of an asshole, confrontation.

word count! 858 (give or take haha)

100 followers event

suna rintaro has been avoiding you for 17 days and 16 nights now. at this point, you’re not sure what you are. you’re not sure what the sweet kisses meant, or the late night calls, or the not very secretive giggles you shared. you always tell yourself that you’re over him, but the next morning, the second your eyes set on his figure, you convince yourself that this time it’s going to be different.

The second you step into the same class, room, floor he’s standing on, he scurries away. and it takes everything in you to not break into a fit of sobs and cries.

but this time it’s different. he’s in front of you, and it was involuntary, the way your legs moved towards him. it was always you running to him, you wished it was the opposite for once only.

“suna,” you yell. you yell loud enough for him to hear, but not loud enough for everyone else to. the hall was already filled with a faint buzz of different murmurs so your yell wasn’t really heard.

his head snaps back, only to be met by your forlorn gaze. he felt something tug at his heart. he turned his head back, wanting out quickly, but your hand wraps around his bicep to stop him from running away. “can we please talk?” you quietly ask.

suna rintaro was a playboy. but he seemed different around you. you were not going to get over your leftover feelings for him anytime soon, so might as well try.

he stared down at you, golden pale eyes contemplating on whether it’s a good idea or not. he let out a defeated sigh, though its not really defeated because he’s been waiting for you to come back.

he always pushes you away, but waits for you to come back. he doesn’t know the endless nights he’d spent with his friends, gaming and laughing, and the endless nights you spent in solitude, tears dripping down your chin because of him.

he likes you. he really does. he feels different around you, more like himself in a sense. as if he’d been living with a missing piece, and that missing piece is you. you make him whole, but he knows he’ll hurt you. so he would rather stay away, stay incomplete, because he was okay with feeling completely incomplete if it meant that you found someone better than him.

now instead of it being suna, you, and the many students are you, it was suna, you, and the whistling trees.

his hands were stuffed in his pocket. he was waiting for you to talk. he missed being in your presence.

“you’ve been ignoring me,” you mumble. your voice almost cracks, almost. “have i done anything wrong?” your eyes move from your feet to his face. your heart was beating in your ears. you hate confrontation, but for him you’d do anything.

he was quiet for a while. his stare was intense, you almost felt naked under his gaze. he was contemplating on whether or not he should tell you. whether or not he should express how he likes you a lot, but the voices in his head keep telling him that he’s not good enough for you. that his bad reputation will stick to you. that he might end up hurting you. the voices in his head grew louder, but the hum of his heart shut them down. he likes you.

“you’ve…you’ve done nothing wrong,” he sighs, his eyes still on yours. “i’m the problem here,” he blinks and shakes his head slightly when saying that.

“what do you—“

“i’m gonna hurt you if we keep doing this. i think it’s best for us to stop here,” he cuts you off. your throat feels dry. your brows furrow.

“do you think i’m stupid?” your voice is raised, and his mouth slightly parts. “do you genuinely think i’m stupid?” you repeat.

“what? of course i don’t,” he replies.

“then why do you treat me like i am? i know what’s going to hurt me and what’s not, i know what’s best for me. you can’t decide that for me,” your eyes feel teary and wet, but nothing is rolling down your cheeks yet.

he didn’t reply. he was taken aback. he thought he was stupid. he wanted to punch himself.

“you’re hurting me more by avoiding me,” you faintly mumble, sniffling in the process.

“i’m sorry,” he replies. “i like you, and i’m too scared i’m going to end up hurting you,” he simply says. “i have never been in a committed relationship before,”

your throat feels dry. you swallow. “okay,” you breathe.

“okay?”

“we can try,” you say. “we can try and if doesn’t work out, i’ll stop bothering you,”

“but what if—“

“i don’t want what if’s, you just need to promise that you’ll try your best. what comes after that…i don’t know but if we both want to do our best then there is no harm in trying,” you cut him off.

he looks at you, he really looks at you. then he breathes. “okay,” a small smile forms on his face. “i promise i’ll try my best,”

Hi there! I hope your trip was good and had a great time to give yourself a break from social media 💖💕💞 now that you're back I have a question to ask you.

If Chloe were a villain in this au, how would you write it?

OUUU INTERESTING-

If Chloe was a villain, I’d kind of make her an obstacle solely in Marinette’s life. Like, I’ll have Marinette do something that would make Chloe hate her throughout the story (turn Adrien against her, even unintentionally embarrass/humiliate her in front of her mother or other elites, indirectly force her to face the consequences of her behavior) just to give Chloe a reason to blame Marinette for Chloe facing the consequences of her own actions.

She would also probably have more of a role in trying to ruin her and Adrien’s relationship and Marinette’s relationships with her friends. Ofc in the process, she’d lose Adrien, but I imagine she’d just have a fit/tantrum (A Regina George type meltdown) about it and hate Marinette even more, blaming her for the break in their relationship.

She would be portrayed more as a “Evil Stepsister” than a “Evil Snow White” if that makes sense!

I’ll also highlight how if you put Audrey and Chloe next to each other, it’s practically the same person. In the AU, Chloe wants to be someone her mother can be proud of, like Zoe is to Audrey, in turn getting that motherly love. This Chloe wants to BE her mother.

She thinks if she can achieve that, then Audrey will finally love her. Because who does Audrey love more than herself, right?

This will probably be my only “why she does what she does” part of the AU. Ladybug could TRY explaining how she doesn’t have to act this way, but the behavior and ideology is so engrained to her it’s like virtually impossible for her to realize it. Maybe Audrey will finally “compliment” her after she got what she wanted through underhanded and terrible actions which affected Marinette, and this leads Chloe down a rabbit hole of even more targeted actions towards Marinette. She thinks she’s so close to winning that affection she’s never got, and there’s no way she’s going to back down now. To Chloe, she doesn’t care what people think or what she does to them, as long as she gets what she wants and her mother gives her attention.

She would also only favor people who are willing to be stepped on by her. Sabrina would totally be more like canon Sabrina, despite her talent and status as a ballerina. It would be less like being treated as a dog but more like a girl who’s stuck in a toxic friendship but is too afraid to break out of it. For instance, Chloe would think she’s being a “good friend” by making comments about her weight and looks, but it just makes Sabrina feel even worse in comparison to Chloe.

[eve-reviews]

ㅤ Once Upon a Time is a thirteen-year old’s fanfiction that was found by the creators of Lost and stolen for a show in hopes of making some money off the teen population. If the half-formed faux-edgy characters or bad acting doesn’t sell you on just how poorly this show was made, the terrible CGI definitely will. The first season revolves around a character named Emma Swan, aka The Savior, coming to the town of Storybrooke where her son tries to convince her that the town is actually full of fairytale characters that are under a memory erasing spell. The show has a way of making you forget that you’re watching a fairytale story until later you realize that “Oh! They just had Prince Charming cheat on his wife with Snow White. And then The Evil Queen framed Snow White for the murder of Prince Charming’s wife by hiding that wife’s heart in a box in the place Snow and Charming would always meet.”

ㅤ While the first season seems Wild, each subsequent season tries to outdo itself. The following seasons follow a clear formula constantly trying to convince you that it’s a good show. The creator’s favorite persuasion is to twist the usual fairytale stories and then play a dramatic stinger underneath it as if to convince the viewer to say, “oh shit!” Each time it makes this attempt, I am met with an intense feeling, but not the intended one. It’s a burst of laughter, a burn of secondhand embarrassment, and the impulse to share it with a friend so I don’t have to go through it alone (and may I say, I think my friends are starting to get sick of me).

            The show is held together by attempts to be a show that makes the viewer sit at the edge of the seat waiting to see what happens next. These attempts often involve corrupting or redeeming a “good” or “evil” character respectively. While the show constantly brings in numerous characters from Disney movies or any other existing story for that matter (such as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, or 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea), it seems to forget this sometimes, so we are left with characters who have been corrupted and redeemed 6 times alone (in Rumpelstiltskin’s case).

            Might I also add that the show often does a twist saying that two fairytale characters were actually the same one. If we take Rumpelstiltskin as an example again, he is at least three different characters off the top of my head. He also happens to be the Crocodile from Peter Pan and the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. This isn’t even counting the family tree. Please feel free to skip the rest of this paragraph while I sort that out. Rumpelstiltskin is the son of Peter Pan (who’s evil) and the Black Fairy (who’s the origin of all evil or something?). He has a grandson, Henry, who is also the grandson of Snow White and Prince Charming. Henry also happens to be the adopted son of Regina, aka The Evil Queen. Regina if the daughter of the Queen of hearts and the sister of the Wicked Witch of the West. She’s also Snow White’s step-mother. Regina also happens to be soulmates with Robin Hood, who’s previous wife was sentenced to death by Regina before the curse. And Robin also had a daughter with the Wicked Witch but he didn’t know it was her at the time because she was pretending to be his dead wife.

            I’m stopping myself there. If you read any of that, you now hopefully know how complicated the lore is and how near impossible it is to explain. You may have also gleaned how fucking stupid it is. That was all just a small section of the family tree. The actual lore of this show involves people who are definitively good or evil (but they can be redeemed) and authors who are all powerful gods who control Everything but are also just Some Guy. And of course, a being of pure light magic called The Savior (Emma Swan aka Snow White and Prince Charming’s child) and a being of pure dark magic called The Dark One (Rumplestiltskin). I forced myself through the show. High out of my mind if I had to. And I gotta say, folks.

            I kinda love this show.

            At some point it starts to get confusing what the creators were thinking while making this show. You drive yourself crazy trying to put yourself in their heads. Do they know how dogshit it is? Are they trying to convince me this dogshit is actually fucking ratatouille? Or do they know it’s bad?

            By the end of season 6, I started to get the feeling that the writers had finally decided to accept that no one in the universe would consider this a good show; however, the show must go on so they may as well have fun with it. They finally left behind the attempts and just leaned into how bizarre the lore they’re spun truly is. They timeskip and they say. “Hey. We know that we’ve gone too far. We know we crossed a line somewhere along the way. But buddy? We’re not turning around. We’re gonna find throw back some brewskis and have a little fun.” And they decide to say that, “Actually? All those characters you just saw? The seemingly infinite number of them? That’s just the start. They’re just one of an actually infinite number of that same character that exists in the multiverse. We’re gonna make a new main character and she’s gonna be Cinderella. Yes, I know we already introduced Cinderella in season one. But this is a different Cinderella. From a different thirteen tear old’s fanfiction. “

            And so it becomes a show that clearly knows it’s bad. And I sit there and realize I had fun. And I realize that I’m still having fun. And I realize that that was the point. I spent the whole show taking everything so seriously, and for that, I partially blame the show for taking itself seriously. But somewhere along the way, the show stopped. And I followed suit shortly after. And it was fun.

            I loved watching Once Upon a Time.

Christmas in Chicago

Janis ‘Imi’ike x fem! reader(+ Cadina, ft. Damian)

Warnings: long chapter, smut, angst, fluff, coarse language, mentions of suicidal thoughts

Christmas in Chicago doesn’t pan out to be as picture perfect as they thought. Other parts to the series can be found here.

“Hi, Jeanie!” Regina immediately accepted the girl’s hug and picked her off the ground. Kalia lets go a few seconds later and zoomed past your sister to tackle Jace and Cady in a hug too. You and Janis laughed, finally stepping inside the former ‘Imi’ike house that your sister and her wife have called home for the last half a decade.

“Your garage is still your garage.” Regina remarked with her signature smirk, “We just park in the driveway.”

“Why is it such a surprise to you?” The blonde couldn’t help it but laugh when she saw Janis’ look of shock.

“Because it’s literally been years and you guys could’ve used the space, Regina.” Janis bit back a laugh. 

Cady chimed in, “Honestly the car was a pretty recent purchase.”

Jace and Kalia were already playing with a whole bunch of his toys in a corner while you and Janis only just got settled down. It was…trippy to see this place again. It already looked so different now but still felt like home to you now that you were back. “How hard was it for them to let you two come here?” Regina asked, grabbing some M&Ms from the bowl on the coffee table. You followed suit. “Them? You mean—” “Yeah, uncle and aunty.” Regina nodded, “And dad.” She held the bowl closer to Janis. She only took a few pieces— she liked Goobers better.

“They were really excited for us, not gonna lie.”

“Really?” Regina chuckled, “You guys are like their babies.”

“Well—” You squinted at your sister.

“Drinks?” Cady interjected.

“I’m good.” You told her, meanwhile Janis headed for the kitchen where Cady was. They began chatting, leaving you and Regina alone on the couch.

“Are you okay?” Regina asked quietly.

“I mean, you know I’m currently waiting for some results, Reg.” “You’ll be alright.” Regina was sure about it. You were not. Your eyes fell on the kids giggling and playing Scrabble Junior, then at Janis and Cady deep in conversation before looking at your sister. 

“I don’t have a very good feeling about it, to be honest with you.” You admitted, “She’s definitely talking about it too.”

“Who else knows?” Regina’s face fell, eyes filled with worry. Your heart ached.

“Damian…and the family.” You replied, staring at the bowl of colourful chocolate.

“How did it— I’m sorry—” Regina gulped, blinking profusely.

“Kalia tackled me in a hug, as she does, y’know. I guess the impact made me feel the pain. That’s never happened before and I thought it was a one-off thing so I just toughed it out? Didn’t tell Janis until like a week later.” You scoffed.

Regina was completely silent, just listening.

“I don’t have a primary care doctor so I reached out to Aukai to ask her opinion. She uh, told me to go to Urgent Care to get checked out, I did, they couldn't figure it out. Gynecologist saw me, then the general surgery team. Had an ultrasound, got sent home with Tylenol. Waited two weeks, got a CT. Results were that they saw a growth. Another week later, I got an MRI and a CT-guided biopsy in the same week.”

Regina looked at you, sad as she held onto your hand and gave it a squeeze. “It was not supposed to go like this. We were  supposed to see Aukai next month for an IVF consultation.” You revealed, “But now I’m just wasting time, racking up medical bills.”

“It’s going to be okay.”

“No. No, Reg. Nothing is according to plan now. And I have way too much to lose.”

“I take it they say that they’ll call if they find something?” You nodded. “And they haven’t?” She asked, you nodded again. “It’s been almost two weeks, baby.” Regina pointed out, “No news is good news.”

That evening, you get a call informing you that results were ready. Nothing more, but you were shocked they even called since it was two days to Christmas. You had an appointment to go over results, but that wasn’t until the morning after returning to Hawai’i. Meaning, it was at least another week of waiting. Worrying was pointless. You knew the results were black and white, it wasn’t going to change no matter what you did in the meantime. 

After dinner, you were in the old garage with Janis. Except…everything looked well taken care of. Surfaces were all clean, floors have been swept or mopped— even vacuumed, the sheets were fresh too. It was like you guys have never left. Jace and Kalia were swimming out back, Regina and Cady were with them. In the meantime, you needed to talk with Janis. But still, you and her have been sitting in silence for a good while. You were sat next to her until you decided that that wasn’t good enough. Then, came the trusty koala hug.  You shut your eyes, resting your chin on her shoulder while you felt her palm going up and down your back in a soothing motion. 

“We’re okay, honey.” Janis whispered. 

“I’m scared, Jan.” You admitted meekly.

“I’ve got you, okay? Always. We’ll get through this, no problem.”  Janis hummed, “Trust me.” “I do.”  You swallowed your tears, “I trust you with my life.” 

“Deep breaths, okay?” Janis reminded, “you’ll be okay. I just know it.”

You chuckled, sniffling, “And if I’m not?” 

“Baby, that wouldn’t change a thing. I’ll take care of you, and we’ll make it through.” Janis’ hand stopped moving, “Like we always have.” 

That was the end of this conversation. You proceeded to fall asleep in her arms after the chat took a lighthearted turn for some time. When you woke up again, it was in the middle of the night— to use the bathroom. Janis was unsurprisingly still awake. “I like the night.” She chuckled, “It’s so peaceful. I just do my art for awhile. And think.”

You smiled at her adoringly, then asked, “Where’s Kalia?”

“She decided she wanted a ‘sleepover’ in Jace’s room. So she’s currently peacefully asleep on a mattress next to his bed. 

“Oh.” You laughed.

“They’re never bored together. It’s pretty awesome.”

“And now she may never get a sibling so…Jace is great.”

“Honey.” Janis put her pencil down.

“We don’t know how it’s going to affect me, Jan.”

“Still, don’t brood over it. We’ll take it as it comes.” 

You agreed, “I know, I know.”

“Realistically, I can be the one carrying next time around.” Janis mentioned, “It’s only fair that we take turns. Maybe then the baby will finally look like you.”

You tried your best to keep from laughing but you just had to laugh. “Hmm, maybe.” You said eventually, “Thank you for making me laugh.”

“Anytime, honey.” She planted a kiss on your shoulder, “Should we head to bed?” 

“Mm-kay.” You gave in and quickly yawned, “I like the sketch.”

“Thank you~” Janis grinned, “What if I get it tatted?” 

“I think it’ll look great.” You broke away from the embrace and led her over to bed.

Now with both of you comfortably snuggled under the covers, it was so easy to just drift off to sleep. But, you could feel Janis looking at you. So, you didn’t give in to the sleepiness just yet. A second later, you feel her hand caressing your cheek. You smiled, then her lips were on yours fleetingly. You reciprocated, “What?” You asked, voice barely above a whisper. 

“Nothing.” Janis hummed, kissing you again— a little deeper this time, “I just love you.”

“I love you more.” You murmured. 

“Go to sleep.” She wrapped her arms around you securely, “I’m gonna be right here.”

“I know. Good night, Jan.”

————

“Good morning!” Jace greeted you once you’d stepped into the kitchen. “Hey, bud.” You sat down next to him at the kitchen island. “Morning, mama.” Kalia came walking from the bathroom— likely having just brushed her teeth. She beamed, then sat down on your right. You were now seated in between the kids. “Hi, my love.” You leaned over slightly, kissing her on the top of her head. 

“Okay, Jeanie. Cereal or pancakes?”

“Oooh, cereal please.” Kalia decided when she saw the box of strawberry cheerios sitting on the kitchen countertop.

“Good choice.” Cady chuckled, “Sit tight and I’m gonna make you a bowl real quick okay? You want some water or juice?”

“I’ll get the water.” Kalia hopped off the stool, took a plastic cup and walked over to the fridge to dispense the chilled water into it. While Cady pushed the bowl of Cheerios in front of Kalia, the redhead asked you what you wanted. You were still half asleep. “Pancakes?” You blinked. “It’s banana chocolate chip.” She informed you. “That sounds delicious, I’ll have some.”

She plated three for you then proceeded to ask if you wanted a cup of coffee. “No, thanks.”

“Right, the caffeine makes you nauseated.” Cady seethed, Regina walked out from their room at this moment, saying good morning. Your sister gave Jace, you then Kalia all a kiss on the head— in that order, as she walked by. “Morning, sweetheart.” Regina went over to Cady at last, sweetly pecking her on the lips. “Here are your pancakes? Want a coffee?” Cady handed her the plate. “Yeah, but afterwards.” Regina smiled contently, “Thank you for making breakfast.”

“Not a problem. I love cooking, it’s fun getting to try out new recipes.” Cady joined you all too, standing by the island as she ate. The island only fit three stools, so your sister and Cady were standing, actually. Once Jace finished eating his breakfast, he told his moms that he was going to feed Fruit Loop— yeah, their cat. Kalia soon went after him, but not before she’d placed her bowl and spoon in the sink. The cat’s been practically stuck to her side since you guys got here. Janis had just woken up too, slightly confused by how the kids were so energetic already. She laughed, petting the cat which Jace was holding. “Was just about to go in there and wake you up.” Regina teased. 

Janis laughed, still sleepy as she habitually leaned her head on your shoulder for a moment once she had settled in on the stool next to you.

“G’morning.” You snickered, finding that sleepy look endearing. She smiled and lazily kissed you on the cheek, “Hi.” 

 “I’m guessing you want the pancakes?”

“Hell yeah, they look amazing.” Janis mumbled. “You guys make any coffee?” 

“I’m about to.” Regina allowed herself to chuckle, “What flavour do you want?”

“I’ll take anything.” Janis said back, eyes lighting up at the plate of pancakes Cady was handing to her, “Ooh, yum. Thank you.”

“We’re gonna eat out for lunch, but dinner will be made by yours truly.” Regina cackled, making you all laugh. “You— try not to stay up that late too much.”

“It wasn’t late by my standards.” Janis sulked. 

“Trust me, it was late no matter what.” You stole a sip of Janis’ coffee.

“And trust me, honey, you’re gonna be paying for that if you have any more of it.”

“Just one sip is fine.” You pouted.

While the kids were entertained by Fruit Loop jumping up at a toy mouse attached to a string on a stick, Regina checked in on you again. “It’s…fine.” You answered, completely uninterested. She decided to drop the conversation despite the obvious worry. 

Being the youngest amongst your friends, you were used to being treated like the baby. But this current situation made you incredibly pissed off that nothing you were doing could help you feel better. Pain medication barely helped, your only saving grace at the moment were heat packs. Plus, it was wintertime now so you especially were prone to colds and things like that. All in all, you were having a rough time. But, pushing through regardless— as long as they didn’t treat you like you were sick and dying.

You played with the kids once you were done eating. Escaping into their world of no worries seemed like the perfect way to go about your day for now. Janis hung back, finishing up her meal. Regina and Cady sat down and chatted with her in the meantime. A handful of colouring sheets and puzzles later, you got up for a drink of water then handed the kids a juice box each. They said their thanks before you turned back around to the kitchen to grab them a snack. Now, you tried to sit back down but the twinge of pain in your lower right side came back more strongly then it had been like all morning. So, you excused yourself and let the kids carry on busying themselves with their game of Connect4. 

You were sure one of the three sitting at the kitchen island saw you leave the living and walk towards the garage. You couldn’t be bothered if they did, right now. All you wanted was to escape. You needed a moment to breathe and just get through it. The constant, lingering pain was like a nagging parent by your ear. For something you didn’t do. Annoying. Infuriating, even. 

Your eyes were shut as you laid on your back, hand smoothing over the silk sheets as you took deep breaths. For a bit, you felt better. Your mind stopped racing about the possible results. Then, it was time for the self-blaming which caused you to squeeze a pillow so hard you ended up getting pissed at yourself and throwing the pillow onto the ground. Finally, you were on your left side just staring at the wall. 

“Hey, baby.” 

You blinked your forming tears away now that you were no longer alone. What was Regina doing in here? You exhaled harshly, vexed.

You felt a dip in the mattress, she’d sat down. What you didn’t expect was her laying down and hugging you from behind. 

“Reg.” You exhaled shakily, “I’m sorry.”

“Why?” 

“Being in pain is such a difficult thing. I don’t know how you do it, I was such an annoying person to look after.” 

“You’re always going to be my baby, hm? I don’t care how much pain I feel, I’ll always be glad to see you.” Regina assured, “We always did this, didn’t we? Snuggle together, have a good cry then watch a movie and snack on cookies.”

“I’m terrified. The pain has not went away, look at how much time has passed since it started.” 

“Hey, look. Life…is always going to try and be stupid and give us some problems. But we have what it takes to get through it, y’know? One way or another, baby. Some days we face it head on, other days we curl up in bed and cry…hope it passes. Still, it passes.” Regina said, “It’s okay to be scared, that’s normal to feel. But you’re not alone, baby. You have us, we’re here to help you, go through it together. When you’re down we’re all here to pick you back up, be strong for you. The universe has got nothing against us, we always win.” 

 By the time you had turned around to face her, you were in tears, sobbing. You’d finally let the tears go. Regina just held you and kept telling you it was okay, that everything was going to be okay. But the sheer nostalgia of her gesture and thinking about everything that you’ve been through thus far opened the floodgates. Regina was unfazed, she just wanted to be here for you. “Did they nominate you to come in here to talk to me?”

“No.” She answered with a tiny chuckle, “I decided I would.”

You only blinked, looking at her as she held your face in her hand, “Look at you. You’ve come so far, you’ve grown up. I can’t wrap my head around that sometimes. In my mind you’re still going to be that little girl, always needing me, needing my protection.”

“I’m not a child anymore, Reg.” You laughed tearfully when she smooched you on the head.

“Well, I’ll always treat you like my baby. Because you are, I watched you grow up, right alongside me. I raised you.” 

“I wish you didn’t have to.” You swallowed the painful lump in your throat, “You missed out on a lot because of me.”

“Never.” Regina’s eyes got teary, “You’re so worth it.”

Christmas morning, you were all gathered around the tree in the living room to open up presents. You were in better spirits, but there was still an inherent anxiety now that you were inching closer to the date of the review appointment. Jace got a few toys he’s been wanting from Cady and Regina. You got him pajamas with his favourite cartoon character on them, a matching cushion and fleece throw blanket. And Janis, embroidered an artwork of the kid’s favourite cartoon character for him to hang up in his room. He was most excited about Janis’ gift, knowing that she made it herself.

Then it was Kalia’s turn. Regina got her this pair of minnie mouse ears she begged you and Janis for some time back but never got. You two could never justify spending $40 on that, she never brought it up again to be fair and instead asked to have a mickey ice cream to eat while walking through the theme park. “Thank you, Aunt Reggie!” Kalia gasped, dropping the headband and hugging her tight.

“You’re welcome.” Regina couldn’t hide her smile.

Cady got her a box set of books— The Magic Tree House series. Kalia was even happier about that, getting new titles to keep herself entertained. And of course, for bedtime stories by you and Janis. 

She opened your gift first, which was a Pillow Pet of Valentino from Wish, one of her favourite movies. She squealed when she saw that and was immediately hugging it the rest of the time. Finally, Janis’ gift. A baby blue coloured pillow case with Angel sewn onto it. “Oh, my Gosh!” She exclaimed, “This can match my Stitch one you made for me, mommy. Thank you!”

By the time it was your turn to open Regina’s gifts, she very quickly stopped you from doing so. With her that could only mean the kids weren’t supposed to see it. You and Janis finally got to open it once you guys have tucked Kalia in for the night. “Enjoy the gifts~”

Janis laughed, “Just be glad the garage remained soundproof.”

You glared at Janis, “Oh, my God.”

“You too, honey.” She snickered.

You snorted, “Don’t I know it.” 

Ripping off the wrapping paper, Janis tossed it in the trash can. “Oh. Yeah.” Janis couldn’t stop giggling, “So she did get us toys.“

“And the lingerie?” You held it up by a finger. 

“I think that’d be for you.” Janis laughed, pressing a kiss to your lips. “To think she used to tease us for fucking.” 

“Yeah, well—”

“Wanna use it?”

“I dunno.” You hummed, “Remind me…how long has it been since we—”

“Like two months.”

“So yes.” You bit back a laugh.

“Are you sure?” Janis asked, referring to the pain you’ve been dealing with.

“Janis right now I think I’ll be more miserable being turned on and not being able to do anything about it, than in some pain.”

“It’s up to you, honey.” Janis nodded, “As long as you’re happy. But we can stop at any time, okay? Don’t forget that.”

“I know, Jan.” You said in response, “Always.”

“My God, the lingerie’s already been washed?” You noticed the smell of the detergent. 

“She knows.” Janis laughed, “Put it on.”

You raised a brow, slightly hesitant but did so anyway, “Just so you’ll be having your fun ripping it off me?”

“Look at that, you know me so well.” Janis grinned, ogling as you stripped off your clothes and put on the lingerie set. “Geez, I haven’t worn something like that in so long. The last time I did, we were still in that little apartment.”

“Well, you look very pretty.” Janis batted her lashes and there was just something about that which made you burst out laughing. In that box was a strap, a vibrator and this lingerie set. Even without the first two things, just looking at Janis and allowing your mind to wander got you in the mood fast. “Lie down.” Janis muttered, tone of voice rapidly making you giddy. You did, laying down, head on your pillow as she laid, almost entirely on her stomach next to you, fingertips teasingly slowly sliding up your cheek and cupping your face. The kisses promptly began, tender, loving and like a well-coordinated dance between your lips. Your eyes fluttered shut, allowing the sensations to heighten themselves. The constant touch and go of her lips against yours, feeling it over and over again caused a burst of butterflies to erupt in your chest. Her hand slid off your face, now caressing your side and every so often gave your breast a squeeze, while yours seamlessly moved past hers and latched itself on the side of her neck. You moaned into the kiss and so did she, now kissing you deeper and more longingly, Before long, you feel the warmth of her palm on your lower abdomen. Janis broke away from the kiss briefly, gazing into your eyes, having you absolutely lost in her mesmerising brown orbs. She nodded, lips slightly parted as she asked, “Yeah?”

As though dazed, you didn’t verbally respond and only gave her a nod, your hand sliding back up her neck as she swiftly leaned in again to capture your lips into her own. Her hand gradually slid lower and lower, she pulled your legs open by your thigh. Then, her fingertips were on your swelling clit, her movements natural, smooth…no hesitance, no doubt. You squirmed, she swatted your inner thigh and a needy little whimper flew into her mouth from yours. Her teeth grazed your lips and even bit down, you whined again. She only chuckled, then resumed kissing you gently as if she was trying to soothe you, calm you down.

As her hand massaged your inner thigh, you felt yourself aching and throbbing, starting to leak onto the sheets waiting for her to return to your cunt. Janis was taking her sweet time, though. So you were getting a little impatient, not to mention that the cramping due to arousal was slightly worse due to the quote-unquote growth you had in your lower right side. As uncomfortable as that felt, your priority was wanting Janis. Wanting Janis to make you feel so damn good like she always does. Your mind had turned foggy, and she hadn’t stopped kissing you, you were starting to feel like you were ascending into a whole other dimension under her ministrations. At last, you feel hand under the considerably thin fabric of the underwear, and her pushing a finger into you then quickly added a second one into the mix.  Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion…everything but your heartbeat. 

Your noises were soft, timid…almost pathetic, entirely matching the gentle and leisurely pace and vibe that she had set for the night. A nice change of pace, if you will. Things usually got very hot and heavy with Janis very quickly, though it was nice no matter what. It was always fun to shake things up. Janis had finally shifted, now sucking at your neck, undoubtedly marking your skin in the meantime. It made you cry out when she finally hit a specific spot, so she went harder, and also pushed her fingers up against that spongy spot more harshly, but only for a beat. Slowly but surely, you were feeling the loss of friction, you were feeling your climax approach, you were feeling the pleasure peak. You felt like you had lost your mind, but it was okay…more than okay. Because right now, nothing mattered as much as your pleasure did.

You felt a little bit of a stretch that made you whine when she decidedly gave you a third finger in your cunt. Proud, she went a little quick, plunging her fingers and out of you until you were clawing at her back. Then, the loss of that stimulation was just as rapid. You were too bothered, also too close. But all she did was kiss you again, soft and agonisingly slow, kneading your tit similarly. It felt good, but wasn’t merely enough. Without looking your wife reached for the vibrator and switched it on, holding it to your clit and watched your face contort. You were chewing on your already swollen and bleeding lips, desperate to not make a noise. Janis held your chin and pressed the toy hard against you. You yelled, then cursed under your breath, simultaneously feeling a sharp pain in your lower right side that made your eyes sting. You throbbed, your chest heaved, you were panting by the time she made you shut up by never letting her lips leave yours. The vibrator stayed in its spot, at that same speed but you were getting louder and louder despite her tactic to shut you up. It’s never truly worked that well, she was just too good. The more the pleasure built up, the harder your nails dug into her back, like a hopeless diversion, a useless reflex. But damn was she enjoying the pain you were causing her. Whatever noises that were resounding through the enclosed space were seriously lewd, but worked in your favours. When you tried to be nice and reached down her pants, she swatted your hand away and resumed. She didn’t even need to say anything— that was a warning. Right as you were about to let go, Janis abandoned the toy, moved aside and left you there, making you watch her put on the harness otherwise she’d just stop moving and watch you be needy. So…you watched her, as hard as it was.  Because Janis definitely rewarded you. Not to mention she wasted absolutely no time doing so, the shaft glided into you and bottomed out within seconds. You groaned, eyes screwing shut for a moment when you felt the fullness. This was way more than what you were used to.

Janis didn’t move yet, wanting to allow you to adjust to the size. “Should I sto—”

You mumbled, shaking your head vigorously. Your desire for her was strong, she saw it in your eyes which gave her the confirmation she needed to continue. Janis’ pace started off languish, but the new thing hit just about every spot within you. You were seeing stars, teary-eyed and a babbling mess all at once. With Janis cooing at you and whispering praises into your ears as she rutted her hips against yours, her hands were still holding onto her back for stability. It feels like your whole body could turn into jelly by the end of the night. The eye contact unsurprisingly remained unbroken, You were getting closer and closer by the minute, and Janis wasn’t even moving that much or fast. Everything going on now was sufficient to bring you to your high. When Janis pushed the bra aside, freeing your breast to her, her lips were on your it, sucking at the sensitive flesh…and her tongue swirling around the tip, you were done for. You clenched around the shaft, clinging onto Janis as you began to write out every wave of your orgasm. Which…somehow was one of the most intense ones you’ve ever had. Janis was still thrusting in and out, much slower now. Your legs were shaking by the time she’d pulled out.

You were in a very worry-free dazed state for awhile, enjoying being in the embrace of your wife, hearing her sweet words and assurances, feeling her comforting touch to bring you back down to reality. You fell asleep without a problem, and while you woke up well-rested, the pain hit you like the shitton of bricks with the bliss obviously long gone. You freshened up and got dressed then joined the rest of the family for breakfast outside. You could barely straighten your back, and your legs felt weak from last night. Still, you gritted your teeth and went ahead, cautiously settling down on the couch after fixing yourself a bowl of cereal. “Morning.” Regina looked over at you next to her, “Long night?” 

You shrugged, blank look on your face as you stared at the TV and munched on the cereal. Kalia came up to you to show you her new bracelet, you smiled and told her you loved it. She gleefully skipped away then you got back to being silent. You felt someone’s stare burning holes into the back of your head, still, you didn’t look back and just finished off your cereal. You found yourself back in bed after breakfast, you knew that if you tried doing anything, it would not go well. The pain was bad, and your first thought was to isolate. You couldn’t handle that much of human interaction while trying to hope that the pain passes. Of course, someone walked in soon enough. And that person, would be Janis. 

“What’s wrong?” She asked, walking closer to you. 

“Don’t know, don’t want to care.” You answered snappily, facing away from her.

“Do you need anything?”

“Yeah, to be left the fuck alone.”

“Honey—”

“Janis, I can’t— okay? It feels like my lower right side is getting punched over and over. I can’t deal—”

“I just wanted to help.” Janis swallowed her tears, blinking profusely.

“You can’t.” You spat, “Nothing works! I’m sitting here thinking I’m better off dead. I need this to go away but I can’t think of how it could possibly be the case. So I stepped away, I’m trying to take a moment and just tough it out, I don’t know what the fuck I’m supposed to do, Janis— you all treating me like I’m a terminally ill child isn’t helping my crazy brain telling me I’m a burden all the time!”

You hear her exhale, and nothing was said.

“Go away. I don’t want you to see me like this.” 

Janis left like you told her to. You just flopped onto bed and curled up into a fetal position and cried your eyes out. At first, you were letting out your frustration. But after a while, it was from the guilt of making Janis feel the way she felt because of your responses. About ten minutes must have passed before you heard the door shut. Someone else was in the garage with you now, but you couldn’t tell who it was because your vision was clouded by the tears. 

“It’s okay, mama.” 

You just sobbed harder than before hearing her little voice. “Can I give you a hug?” She scooted closer to you. You sniffled, swallowing your tears. Nodding your head, you opened up your arms. Kalia was being extra careful not to lay on you where it hurt. 

“Thank you, baby.” You gulped, speaking shakily.

Regina came in pretty abruptly, and understandably so. “Oh.” Regina said. 

“I’m sorry.” You looked at your sister.

“It’s alright, baby.” She came over, “It’s alright. Take your time.” 

“Is she okay?” 

“She’s fine, we told her to take a bit of time for herself. She said she was going to spend time with Damian then she’ll be back.” Regina assured.

“Do you feel like you need to go to the hospital? For better pain control?” Regina asked straightforwardly.

“No, please. They already thought I was crazy and asking for drugs.” You divulged. Regina sat down on the bed too, a comforting hand on your thigh, “Is there anything at all that I can do?” Regina understood that better than anyone. 

You didn’t say anything, you couldn’t, really.

“Have you taken any painkillers yet?” 

“Tylenol didn’t do anything for me.” You cleared your throat, taking a peek at Kalia who was sweetly snuggled up against you.

“You wanna try something stronger? We have Naproxen.”

“I guess?” You answered, somehow still feeling the urge to cry. Then you felt Kalia’s hand on your cheek, her thumb stroking your cheek and swiping away the tears. 

“Look, I can even let you try out that medicine I have for my back. It’s up to you, okay? Right now you need something to take the edge off.” Regina added on, “I’ll be back in a minute.” 

“Do you want to watch a movie?” You suggested, worrying that Kalia would be bored.

“No, mama. It’s okay. You need to rest. I just want to snuggle with you.”

“Okay.” You replied, rubbing her back, “Thank you for snuggling with me.” 

She smiled, lips a little pouty, seemingly having caught on about your current mood. ”I wish you had froggie with you. He always makes you feel better too.”

“You make me feel better too, my love.” You told her softly. 

“I love you, mama.” 

“I love you more.” 

————

“Look, I’m seeing both sides here, Janis.” Damian said earnestly, “Your frustration, I get it. She’s keeping it to herself and you don’t want her to deal with it alone. Meanwhile for her, you know her, she cries because people she loves are crying. She feels guilty for making you upset or angry. But right now…sweetie she’s dealing with a completely unknown, unexplained pain. That’s constant and doesn’t get better no matter what she’s tried. She’s pushing you away, she’s snapping at you because…you. She feels so safe with you that she can just let out her bottled up emotions and helplessness to you. She doesn’t mean that she’s mad at you, she’s mad at the world, her body, sometimes even herself for things that she cannot control. For things that aren’t her fault.” 

Janis nodded, internally working through her best friend’s words in her mind, “Oh, my God. She literally already told me, she told me she’s scared. I should’ve —”

“Hey. None of that ‘I should’ve, I could’ve’ nonsense.” He promptly cut her off, “This is good, no suppressing of anything. Talk, talk, talk. Work through it together. You guys will be fine.”

“She told me she thinks she’d be better off dead. I can’t have her believe that. What if she—”

“Just keep doing what you’re doing. Be present. She knows she has so much to live for, but also just as much to lose. That’s why she’s feeling so much, that’s why you’re feeling so much. Remind her that you’re here, with her. In any way you can, hugs, kisses, cuddles, making her her favourite food, getting her her favourite drink, cookies anything. I know you do all of these but she needs extra reminders now, you’re doing your best and while you’re busy taking care of her. Make use of any downtime you have to take care of yourself, without you…things are going to be so tough. You are her rock, just like she is yours. But life is not always fair, and there’s going to be challenges…how you come out of it depends on how you face it.”

“Dude.” Janis laughed teary-eyed, “Can you come home with us? Like— come on, I need my best friend.” 

“Like…back home to Hawai’i? Girl, I might actually consider that. Practically have nothing to keep me here anyways.” Damian said.

His parents had been separated his whole life, and he was under the care of his grandma until she passed away after he graduated from college. He’s just been in Evanston to be closer to her, but he was finally feeling ready to go out, explore. And not worry too much.

“You wanna come with me back to Regina and Cady’s? I’m sure Kalia would be so happy to see her Uncle Damian.” 

“Thought you’d never ask.” Damian chuckled.

“Drive me to the store so I can grab a few things on the way back?”

“Not a problem, my friend. Come on, let’s go.” Damian nudged, and off they went.

You dozed off with Kalia after taking the medicine, Regina draped a blanket over the both of you and left the garage to go do some cleaning in the house. “Regina, she’ll be okay.” Cady instantly came up to her side.

“I know, just a rough patch right now, that’s all. Right?” Regina tilted her head, grabbing the dustpan and broom for the corner. The pair chatted as they cleaned until Janis returned, bringing Damian along with her. “Damian! Good to see you.” Regina smiled, giving the guy a side hug. “Hi, Jay.”

“Hey.” Janis laughed awkwardly, “Mind if I use the kitchen? I wanna make y/n something to eat. Is she asleep?”

“Not at all, go ahead.” Regina shrugged, “And yeah, she’s asleep. Kalia’s with her. She’s calmed down. I gave her a stronger painkiller then she dozed off. I hope it works even just a little bit.” 

“Me too, Tylenol did not do shit.” Janis started to unpack the bit of groceries she bought, Damian joined her in the kitchen to help her cook. 

“What’s Jace doing? Why’s it so quiet?”

“He’s good, was in his room reading the new storybook he got. I just checked on him before you came from the garage. He’s napping too.”

“Oh, good.” Regina heaved a sigh of relief. 

Cady narrowed her eyes at the blonde, “Gina, go take a shower, take a breather. Go.”

“I will, Cads. I will.” Regina took a deep breath, “I’ll go right now.” 

You woke up a little over an hour later, carefully got out of bed and tucked Kalia in so she could continue sleeping. You didn’t even make it out of the garage when Janis came in to check on you. You immediately apologised, and so did she. “Last night, I wanted all of that so don’t be sorry, please. I just dealt with it poorly. I shouldn’t have lashed out.”

Janis noticed Kalia still asleep so she took you outside into the house. Sitting down at the dining table, she continued, “You’re scared and I get it. We both just had a moment and lost our cool. But I want you to know, we’re okay. No matter what we’re going through or how tough, we will always have each other. You can always come to me— I will always be here for you. I made a promise…that I intend to keep until our very last breath, honey.” 

For the lack of better words, you just held her hand and kissed her on the lips. “I get it, it’s hard. Getting used to being able to go to someone, rely on someone. Talk about things…big or small. But you know me, and I know that. Anything to do with you, with Kalia…I’m all ears no matter how silly you may think it is.” 

Silence then lapsed between the two of you, but it was comfortable. ”You missed lunch, so eat up. Okay?” Janis pushed the plate closer to you.

“Thank you.” 

“Of course.” She smiled warmly.

“No, I mean— for— everything. Not just making my favourite food.” 

“You’re my wife. I’d do anything for you, just like you would for me. That’s what we do, we’re partners.”

“For life.” You finally cracked a smile, she tilted your face. You were looking at her while chewing a small mouthful of the food. She held your face in her hand, just seeming to be admiring your features for some seconds before smiling. 

“For life.” She sealed that promise with a kiss.

Series Masterlist

Steve didn’t like what he was seeing at all. This place was too small and too cramped. The building itself looked like it was about to fall into pieces around him and should be condemned. How had he not known? 

“That can be thrown out.” Your voice breaks him out of his deep thoughts as he watches you tape up another box. 

His eyes continued to travel around the small one bedroom shoebox you called an apartment and he sighed. You hold out a box for him to take which he does gladly because another box in the truck means he can get you out of this place faster. Fortunately Sam and Bucky are there with him and are making it a lot easier. 

****

“I’m going to miss you so much.” Mrs. Fields says as she walks out of the building with you. “Do you really have to go? You know I don’t mind looking after Eli, he’s like my grandbaby.” 

“I know Mrs. Field and I appreciate everything you’ve done but this place is so much better for him and I can keep a closer eye on him. I’ll even be able to get a tutor for Eli so he doesn’t fall behind on his schoolwork.” 

“Well whatever is best for him. Promise me you’ll come visit.” 

“Absolutely, I could never forget everything you’ve done for us.” You hug Mrs. Field tightly. She has truly been such a great help to you and you will miss her but you have to think about what’s best for Eli. “Call me if you need anything. No matter what.”

“I will. Give Eli hugs and kisses from me.”

“Sure thing, bye Mrs. Fields.” You say as you get in the car. Steve closes the door behind you and moves to the driver’s side. 

“She’s a neighbor?” 

“Yeah and Eli’s sitter. She was a life saver but now I can keep Eli closer which I prefer. I used to feel so guilty by having to leave him when he was sick.” You look over at Steve and smile. “So thank you for everything. It’s not easy for me to accept help.” 

“You? Having trouble accepting help? I would have never guessed.” Sarcasm dripped with every word he said. 

You scoff and roll your eyes while Steve laughs. 

“I’m never accepting anything from you again.” 

“Ok fine I’m sorry.” He chuckles. “Really, I’m glad to be able to help you and the little guy out.” 

“You know, he asked me for a suit so that he can get all dressed up like you.”

“Yeah,” Steve smiles. “I can get him the same exact ones in his size.” 

“No. He’d probably go to sleep with them on or wear them in the shower.” 

Steve chuckles and shakes his head. 

“But seriously, Steve, thank you for everything, again. He’s never had a man in his life that could set an example for him. Eli really likes you.”

“I like him too, he’s a good kid, smart too. But what about his ma? Does she like me too?” 

You scrunch up your nose and shrug. “Meh, you’re alright.” You say as your heart skipped a beat with the look he was giving you, it was mischievous but heated. Did he know the effect he was having on you? 

“Just alright?” 

“I can take it back.” 

“Fine, I’ll take it for now. But you’ll change your mind.” 

“Bring it on, Rogers.” You challenge. “Oh wait before we go home can we stop at one store? I want to get a surprise for Eli.” 

“Of course.” Steve says. Although he would take you to the moon if you called his house your home again. It was probably a slip of the tongue but he didn’t care. “Where to?” 

“Put that back and we can pretend like this never happened.” 

“I don’t have to listen to you. I can do whatever I want.” 

“You and I are going to have a problem if you don’t put that back right now.” 

You heard this back and forth once you got out of the car. Eli and Regina’s voice carried from the backyard and you ran at the thought of someone mistreating Eli. Steve was right behind you as you rounded the corner. 

“Take that!” Eli yells as he swings his lightsaber, it clashes against the one Regina is holding. “You’ll never defeat me.” 

“We’ll see about that.” 

“Get her kid.” Dom cheered from one of the lounge chairs.

There are little grunts and giggles as Eli and Regina battle it out. You take a moment to watch him play and tears start to form. Steve stood beside you and smiled until he looked down at you.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” You sniffle. “It’s just been so long since I’ve seen him this energized and happy. I’ve missed this.”

“Well wait until he sees the gift you got him.” 

“Ma,” Eli calls out between giggles. “Look at what Reggie taught me.” He says as he takes the lightsaber and throws it in the air before catching it and spinning it around. 

“That’s amazing.”

“I hope it’s ok that he’s out here.” Regina says as she walks up to you. “He was bored out of his mind just sitting in the kitchen.”

“Yeah, it’s ok. Thanks for playing with him for a while Regina.”

“Don’t worry about it and please call me Reggie. Everytime someone calls me Regina I feel like I’m going to get in trouble with my parents.” 

“Well thank you Reggie.” You smile at her. This was still her first week but she has been amazing. She does her job and doesn’t ask too many questions. Now it also seems like Eli likes her. “Hey Eli, come here for a minute.”

Elijah does as you ask and stands in front of you unsure of what is about to happen next.

“I brought you a present.”

“Really?” Eli smiles up at you. “What is it?”

“Come on, I’ll show you.” 

You walk back to Steve’s SUV and he opens the trunk and pulls out the gift.

“You got me a bike? I love it.” He says as he hugs you and then runs to his bike. 

“I got you a helmet too and yes you have to wear it.”

“But I’ll look like a dork.”

“But you’ll be safe kiddo.” Steve says with a chuckle. “Now your mom says you don’t know how to ride a bike, is that true?”

“Yup. Do you know how to ride one?”

“I do.”

“Will you teach me?” Eli looks up at Steve and Steve looks up at you. You smile and nod.

“Of course I can.”

“Boss.” Nat’s voice cuts through the backyard. She was still recovering but that wasn’t going to stop her. “I got a call from Clint.” 

Steve nods and Nat disappears back into the house then he turns his attention to Eli. He lowers himself to Eli’s level but his eyes go to you for a moment. 

“You have to work?” 

“I do bud. But I promise that I’ll teach you how to ride a bike soon, ok?” 

“Ok.” Eli says as you wrap your arms around his shoulders from behind him. 

“I’ll let you know when I get back and I’ll help you move your things then.” 

“Don’t worry about it. I can handle it.”

Steve just nods as he gets up before heading into his house. 

“Would you like some help moving your things?” Reggie asks.

“Yeah, I’d appreciate it.” 

All of Steve’s men had left which meant that whatever Nat spoke to him about was serious. Regina had been so helpful in getting your most important items out of Steve’s SUV and up to both yours and Eli’s room. It was nice to have someone close to your age to talk to. You don’t even remember the last time you had a friend. Regina also respected your privacy which you appreciated even though you could see that she was dying to ask what was going on between you and Steve. A question you wouldn’t be able to answer. He was still flirty but not being pushy, he was spending time with Eli because he genuinely wanted to. Although you didn’t know what Steve got up to when he went to his clubs, he could still be sleeping with women there. So for now you just accepted his help because it meant help for Eli and you’d do anything for your son. 

At Steve’s insistence you took two of the rooms on the 3rd floor. His reasoning was that he wanted to be close in case anything happened with Eli. You were stubborn but he won this round. So now in the late evening you were walking out of Eli’s room after making sure he was ok for what felt like the 100th time when there was an argument down on the main floor. From the landing on the 3rd floor you were able to look down to watch as Clint and Scott dragged a man through the living room while Steve, Nat, Bucky and Sam were in the middle of a heated discussion. From there you could see how Steve was holding his side and you wondered if he was hurt again. As if sensing your eyes on him, Steve looked up and connected his gaze with yours. The angry expression on his face softened when he saw you standing there and he ended the conversation. Everyone went their own direction and Steve headed up to you. 

“What happened?” you asked when you saw the bloodstain on his shirt. 

“Knife wound, no big deal. It’s practically a scratch.”

“It’s not a scratch if you’re bleeding through your shirt. I’ll clean it up.” You stared at him wide eyed and with disbelief.

“You know if you keep cleaning up my wounds I’m going to think that you care.” 

“Don’t get too excited. If you die I have to find work somewhere else and I like working here, plus I already have seniority. The benefits are pretty good too.” You take Steve’s hand and lead him to his room. Steve laughs as he follows you.

“That hurt more than getting stabbed.”

“You’ll live.” You grab the first aid kit. “Can I ask you something?”

“Sure, but I can decline to answer.” 

“Of course. Who was the guy that was brought in?” You ask as you begin to treat the wound.

Steve doesn’t answer right away. He watches as your eyebrows furrowed in concentration. 

“This is going to sting.” You say in warning and he hisses.

“You signed an NDA, right?” 

“Yeah. Why?” You stopped what you were doing to look up at him. 

“Because I need to know that what I’m going to say won’t leave this room.” 

You scoff, “I trust you, all of you, why can’t you trust me?” 

“You trust me?” Steve asked with a bit of disbelief coloring his words. 

“You think I’d let you anywhere near my son if I didn’t.” 

Steve studied you for a moment trying but failing to find a lie in your statement. 

“He’s the man who shot Peter.”

“And he’s still alive?” There’s a hint of anger in your voice and it takes Steve by surprise.

“Unfortunately he has information we need. He didn’t try to hurt Peter out of his own free will. Someone instructed him to do it and we need to know who.” 

“Oh.” Was all you managed to say as you finished bandaging him up. 

“So do me a favor. Keep Regina away from the basement, you know the room.” 

He was referring to the soundproof room he had down there for things like this. You’d accidentally stumbled upon it on one of your first days of working there. 

“Of course.”

“Ma?” Elijah’s sleepy voice rang through the hallway.

“I should go.” 

“I do trust you. I just don’t want you involved in this work. The less you know the easier it is for me to keep you safe.”

“Maybe don’t bring work home then.” You give him a mischievous smirk before going to find Elijah. 

Steve couldn’t help the smile that slowly spread on his face. This was the second time you’d refer to his house as your home. He really liked it. Steve was still trying to understand what it was about you that made him so protective over you and Elijah. Steve didn’t really do emotions unless they were lust and anger. But you were softening his edges. Would it be bad if he allowed himself to care for someone that deeply again? 

At the end of the day you weren’t like her. The most selfish thing he’d seen you do was take an extra five minute break. Steve would give you everything and anything that you wanted if you’d let him. 

All he had to do was show you he was willing to do it.

---

It’s temporary, this thing. This current arrangement that they have while Emma finds a new place to live away from the loft—cramped and cacophonous; too full a house with a new baby. She doesn’t think too deeply about how she feels about it, pretends her heart doesn’t throb and ache at being displaced and replaced once again. It's a noxious thought to keep, so she does her best to clear it out of her.

So, yes. The arrangement to stay at the mansion until she sorts out her affairs. Yet Emma is not exactly rushing to end it. Not when the choreography of her waking hours brings about a certain comfort that she does not want to relinquish, happening in a place that devastatingly feels more like home than she has ever felt in all the decades of her life. In a place that isn’t hers to claim, but for now she’ll pretend because the walls are present and the sheets are soft. 

It is inconveniently pleasant to wake up rested at Regina’s house in one of her massive guest bedrooms. It is even more so when she languidly makes her way down the stairs and towards the kitchen where she first gets a whiff of food being made, and the lingering scent of coffee in the air. The rest of her senses catches up to her when she hears whatever Regina is cooking just as she inevitably sees Henry already sitting in front of his breakfast plate, fork in one hand and comic book in the other as if it’s the morning newspaper. 

“Good morning, Ma,” he offers, his eyes never once straying from the page. She shakes her head, but greets him in turn. 

“Morning.” Then, she casts her eyes up at Regina and offers her a smile. “Good morning, Regina.” 

“Good morning, dear.” Regina accompanies her gentle morning greeting with an offered plate brimming with food right in front of the seat that Emma has deemed as hers during her stay. Despite Regina’s frequent comments about Emma’s abhorrent appetite and etiquette, she’s there enabling Emma with a full plate. Emma notices, of course, but doesn’t say anything for fear that Regina will change and give her one less hash brown in the stack. 

Still, even as her mind slowly eases into the morning, she doesn’t immediately take her seat at the table. Instead, she heads towards the coffee bar—which is literally just the far end of the kitchen counters where there’s one of those fancy single-serve coffee machines. She sets to brewing herself a cup since that’s the only machine she’s allowed to touch; the Italian espresso machine beside it is off limits. For the best, Emma thinks. 

Once her coffee is done, Emma lets the mug sit to the side and plucks another mug out of the cupboard, repeating the steps, waiting quietly while the machine cranks and whirrs and gurgles before the dark sea of coffee fills the new mug. It is the first full cup that Regina has in the morning, the first dose of caffeine coming from the espresso machine that Regina handles herself upon rising. Emma only skirts the edges of her thoughts at what it means to have Regina trust her to make her first cup of coffee for the day. Yet on that first morning she'd received the request, Regina only arched a brow and exasperated teasingly, "surely, you can't completely flub up making coffee."

Emma doesn’t move in place, uncharacteristically settled on her feet, her arms folded across her chest as she waits. Not wanting to break the tranquil silence, she doesn’t say anything, and neither do the others in the kitchen. It’s a quiet morning, but comfortable and companionable. Normally when things are too quiet, she gets restless as if she must fill the space herself or excuse herself entirely. But the last week at Regina’s place has given her more peace than she’d gotten in months, and she hates that by the end of this upcoming week, it’ll be gone again. Still, she doesn’t think too hard on this. 

For now, she grasps both the filled mugs and places them on their respective placemats as she’s done almost everyday this week. She sits in her chair and she waits until Regina does the same. She offers the other woman a shy grin, perhaps more tender than she’d intended (she’ll simply blame the morning hours for it if pushed) and Regina returns it, the gentle smile across Regina’s face splitting her face so beautifully.

The three of them sit like a family that Emma has always wished for and eat breakfast together.

Here's part 5 of Regina And You! In this we learned what happened between you both during the missing year. Not edited in the slightest and I hope you like it!

Regina And You - Part 5

Warnings: Smut, Swearing

Words: 14.4k

*Enchanted Forest, 2nd curse*

You look around and see you’re in a forest and look down and see you’re in your clothes that Regina gave you when you were her maid. 

“Snow? What happened?” You hear and look to see 2 people there.

“We’re back.” Snow says and Regina puts an arm around your waist. 

You walk up to the small gazebo that was there with Snow, David and Regina to talk with the 2 people that Snow White knows.

“Who are you?” You ask them and they look at you.

“I’m Aurora and this is King Philip.” She says and you nod. “And who are you? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before.” She asks.

“I’m Y/n, I was her maid before the curse.” You say and she looks between you and Regina.

“Seems like more than just her maid now.” She says and you nod then wrap your arms around Regina’s waist and lay your head on her chest.

“So how have things been since we left? The Ogres?” Snow asks them and you feel Regina wrap an arm around you and pull you in closer.

“Defeated, we are restoring our kingdom and our lives.” Aurora explains.

“And congratulations.” Snow tells her and looks nods to her stomach.

“Is it that obvious?” Aurora says with a big smile.

“You’re glowing.” Snow explains.

“Why is she pregnant and I’m the one who’s sick?” Regina mumbles.

“Play nice.” You tell her and she sighs.

“Our castle was destroyed in the curse.” Snow tells David.

“Well played, your majesty, laid waste to everything.” Hook tells Regina and you kick his leg and he looks at you in confusion.

“Not everything, her castle still stands.” Aurora tells you all.

“Of course it does, I protected it.” Regina explains.

“Well, technically, the castle doesn’t belong to her, it was Snow's before she took it.” David says.

“To be fair to Regina, she married into it.” You remind them and Regina nods.

“That you did, and now we’re taking it back. And you both are coming with us.” Snow tells both you and Regina and Regina scoffs.

“You can’t be serious.” Regina says in disbelief.

“Regina, everyone out there is scared and confused, they need hope.” Snow tells her. “What better way to do that than to return united? You’re coming with us.” Snow tells her. “I know you don’t like it, you’ll learn to. For our good, for yours, and for Y/n’s.” She says and Regina looks at you before turning back to Snow and she nods.

“Thank you again for the hospitality, we should begin preparations.” David says and shakes Philip’s hand.

“Good luck to all of you.” Philip tells him and then everyone begins to get ready to go to the Queen’s castle.

“So we’re really headed back to your castle.” You tell her and she nods.

“It won’t be the same though. For one I’m not the Evil Queen anymore and you’re my girlfriend, not my maid.” She tells you and gives you a kiss. 

“Also that everyone else will be there instead of prisoners and guards.” You say and she nods. “Are we going to be sharing a room or do I have to sleep in my own bed?” You ask her.

“Do you really think I’d make you stay in your own room?” She asks you and you shrug. “I’ve had you in my bed already and I don’t want to go back to sleeping alone.” She tells you and you giggle as she wraps her arms around you and kisses you.

You then both go walk up to Aurora and Philip and Snow joins you.

“You know I didn’t know the Evil Queen would change.” Philip says.

“Well what can I say, I got a son and a girlfriend because I became good.” She says and wraps an arm around your waist and you smile at her.

“Hey, we’re heading out now.” David says to all of you and you go to your horse and start heading out.

“So, when we get there, what are we going to do first?” You ask Snow and David.

“Get settled in, figure out who’s in which rooms, and then make sure that everyone gets safely to the castle.” David says and you nod.

10 minutes later Regina leans in and whispers to you. “I’ll be right back.” She tells you and then goes off the path into the woods.

“Happy, can you take the horse?” You ask him and he takes your horse’s rope and then you go after Regina. You see her start digging with a stick and you tilt your head. “Are you burying your mind? Cause if you are then I think you’ve already lost it.” You tell her and she looks at you before she keeps digging.

“I’m not burying my mind, I’m burying something else.” She says and then takes her heart out and puts it off to the side while she keeps digging.

“You’re burying your heart?” You ask her and she nods. “What? No, this is a bad idea.” You say as Snow comes up to you both.

“What are you doing?” Snow asks Regina.

“So now you’re following me?” Regina tells her.

“We were worried, and it looks like we were right to be. What are you burying?” Snow asks her.

“Nothing that concerns you.” Regina tells her and you sigh.

“Oh my god, you know you’ve always been more of a drama queen than an evil queen.” You say and then turn to Snow. “She’s burying her heart.” You say and Snow turns back to Regina as Regina starts burying her heart.

“Regina, I know you miss Henry.” Snow tells her.

“Not as much as I did when that was still beating in my chest.” She says as she gets up.

“But Regina, this isn’t the answer.” Snow says. “No matter how much pain you feel, you can’t just bury it in the woods.”

“Watch me.” Regina says and you roll your eyes.

“You won’t feel better, you won’t feel anything.” Snow tries a different route.

“That’s the point.” Regina says and you can hear the sadness in her voice. “I can’t keep walking around knowing that I’ll never see Henry. That he doesn’t even remember who I am.”

“I know exactly how you’re feeling. I just said goodbye to my daughter for the second time, Henry too.” Snow says. “But I promise you it will get better. With that.” She says and points to her heart. “Right now it might be causing you pain, but I promise you, it will let you feel something else soon enough.”

“And what’s that?” Regina asks her.

“The one thing Henry always wanted you to find. Happiness.”

“I can’t be happy without him.” She says and you look down and go to walk away but Snow grabs your arm.

“You’ll find a way, for Henry, and you have Y/n here.” Snow says and brings you forward.

“You have a really strong grip.” You say and then you’re face to face with Regina and she holds her arms out and you go and hug her. She then sighs before getting her heart and putting it back in her chest. You hold her hand as all her emotions are coming back full force and you feel her sniffle before letting out a breath. You 3 walk to get back on the road but then Snow stops you both as she heard some rustling in the bush and Regina goes to take a look. 

“Stay behind me Y/n.” She says and then looks and doesn’t see anything there. “There’s nothing here, unless it flew away.” She tells you both and you look around. 

“It did!” You yell and both of them look to where you are and you see a creature flying in the sky.

“We need to find cover.” Snow says and grabs your hand.

“No, I don’t run from monsters, they run from me.” Regina says and throws a fireball at the monster and misses.

“Regina!” You scream out as it goes to her and Snow pushes you all to the ground. The monster then grabs Regina and begins to fly away with her but you and Snow are both holding on to her. The monster can’t hold all of you and Regina slips out of its hand and you all fall to the ground.

“It’s too fast.” Snow says as Regina helps you up.

“Well, I’m open to suggestions.” Regina says.

“Get down!” You hear and you all duck and an arrow hits the monster and it flies away.

“Milady?” You hear and you all turn around to see the man who shot the arrow and he’s holding out a hand to Regina. “You’re injured.” He says as he looks at her arm.

“It’s your majesty.” She says and you roll your eyes. “And I’m fine.”

“A simple thank you would suffice.” He tells her.

“We didn’t ask for your help.” She says as she gets up and helps you up.

“Well I’m grateful for the assistance.” Snow says.

“So am I.” You tell him

“Robin, Robin of Locksley. And these are a few of my Merry Men.”

“Snow White.” Snow introduces herself to them.

“Y/n.” You say and catch your breath.

“At last we meet.” Robin tells Snow White. “You know there was a time when our faces graced wanted posters side by side.” He says and you chuckle.

“If you’re really Snow White, why are you with her?” A man asks and nods to Regina.

“Her? Show some respect, or at least some restraint at the buffet.” She says and you lightly shove her and she looks at you.

“You’ll have to excuse Little John, but before you cursed this land, we spent many a day running from your Black Knights.” He tells her.

“Well I’m sure you deserved it.” She tells him. “What the hell was that thing?” She asks and looks up where the monster flew off.

“I don’t know, I’ve never seen anything like that before.” You say and then you hear it’s screeching in the distance.

“Come on, this way, we need to warn the others.” Snow says and you all walk to where everyone is.

You all continue walking the road while Regina goes to Snow while you continue walking your horse.

“So what do you think of our new friend? Can we trust him? I mean he is a thief.” You hear Regina ask her.

“Think of it from his perspective, how do you think he looks at you?” Snow asks her.

“Point taken.” She says. “He smells like forest, which I’m not liking.” She says and then she grabs your hand and you see the castle in the distance. 

“What happened?” You asked as you look at it.

“That’s exactly what I’m about to find out.” Regina says and walks towards it. She suddenly stops and then puts her hand out and a green shield is shown surrounding the place. “A protection spell.” She tells you all. “The entire castle’s encircled by it.” 

“Didn’t you do this? Undo it.” David tells her and Regina turns around and starts walking towards you all.

“Well, don’t you think if I could, I’d be halfway home by now?” She asks him. “No, someone hijacked it.” She adds.

“Who?” You ask her as she goes to stand beside you and looks at the castle.

“I don’t know, but I’m going to find out whoever’s eating my porridge.” She says and then looks at all of you. “Nobody sits in my chair, nobody takes our castle.” She says with some anger.

“Hey, we’ve got a lot of people looking to us. They’re scared, and rightfully so, let’s get them to safety first.” David says and you nod.

“They’ll be safe when whoever’s in there is dead.” She says and looks at the castle.

“Rushing in there is a bad plan, Regina, you know that.” Snow tells her.

“Plus it’s still guarded by a spell.” You tell her.

“I can offer safe harbor in Sherwood Forest, it’s not far. We can offer food, shelter, a thick canopy no creature will spy you under.” Robin offers.

“Do you have weapons?” David asks.

“We’re lousy with them.” Robin tells him and Regina looks at you before looking at him.

“Fine, lead the way. But we’re coming back. And whoever did this is going to suffer.” Regina says.

“Regina, it’s our home, we’ll make it safe again.” Snow promises her and Regina wraps an arm around your waist.

“We better.” She says and kisses the side of your head. All of you start to head to Sherwood Forest with Robin and his Merry Men and then Regina suddenly stops and stares off into the distance.

“Regina, what’s wrong?” You ask her and then Snow walks up to you both. “You’re thinking about Henry, aren’t you?” You ask her.

“I’m always thinking about Henry.” She says and then starts walking and you both join her. “But I was also thinking, there are tunnels that run under the castle. They may run beneath the spell.” She explains.

“Which means we can sneak an army inside.” David says.

“An army would be detected.” Regina immediately tells him.

“So how does this information help us?” You ask her and she holds your hand.

“Because it can get me inside.” She tells you all. “And if I can get inside, then I can lower the shield. Then you can send in your army.” She explains to all of you.

“By yourself? Are you crazy?” You ask her. 

“You know I am. But we all need a place to stay where we can all be safe. And I want to make sure that you’re always protected.” She tells you and she gives you a kiss before you all hear shrieking and you look up.

“Incoming!” Neal yells out and the monster knocks him over. The monster then goes to Robin’s son and you see Regina going to him.

“Papa!” You hear him say.

“Roland!” He yells and then Regina picks him up and saves him just in time. The monster then comes back and goes to Regina again.

“Not so fast.” Regina says and she casts a spell and turns it into a stuffed animal and then picks it up and goes up to Roland. “See? Not so scary.” She tells him and then gives him the toy. “Now you have a new toy.” She tells Roland with a smile.

“Thank you.” Robin tells her and we all form a group circle.

“What the hell was that thing?” David asks.

“The same thing that attacked us earlier.” You say.

“If I didn’t know better, I’d say it looked an awful lot like a monkey.” Grumpy says.

“A monkey with wings?” David asks.

“Yes, that’s exactly what it was.” Regina says and looks at you. 

“You’re acting like that’s normal.” Neal tells Regina. 

“That’s because it is, but not here.” You tell him. “There’s one land that has creatures like that. I’ve read about it, Oz.” You explain to everyone.

“Oz? That’s a real place?” Snow asks you.

“My girlfriend’s right, it’s quite real.” Regina tells her. “And if our simian friend is any indication, then I think we know exactly who’s taking up residence in our castle. The Wicked Witch.” Regina tells everyone.

“We talking East or West?” Grumpy asks and you look at him.

“Does it matter? Both of them aren’t good.” You tell him.

“One you drop a house on, the other you toss a bucket of water at.” Grumpy says.

“So, Regina, what exactly are we up against, besides green skin and a pointy hat? What did you do to her?” David asks.

“This time? Nothing, never met her.” Regina tells him and you nod.

“It’s true.” You say.

“This isn’t a personal vendetta? Shocking.” David says. “Okay then, Oz aside, we stick to the original plan. Arm up, then attack.” He adds and then looks at Regina. “Assuming you can get the shield down.”

“You don’t need to worry about me.” Regina says and starts to walk away.

“I’m coming with you.” Snow says.

“No, this is a one-woman job.” She tells her.

“What? Against the Wicked Witch?” You ask her. “Regina, she has flying monkeys, who knows what else she has.”

“Y/n, I don’t care if the Lollipop Guild is protecting her. I can lower that shield on my own.” She tells you.

“Then we’ll be waiting for you on the other side.” Snow tells her and Regina nods.

“Protect Y/n while I’m gone.” She tells everyone and then starts to head off. 

“Regina, wait!” You call out to her and she turns around to face you.

“Y/n, you’re not coming with me.” She tells you.

“I know, I just wanted to wish you good luck.” You tell her with a smile and then give her a kiss. She smiles at you and cups your cheek.

“Stay safe while I’m gone.” She tells you and you lean into her touch and nod.

“I will.” You tell her and then she heads off.

You’re waiting by the campfire with a few people and then Snow White comes up to you and sits beside you.

“Hey, you’re worried about her aren’t you?” She asks you and you nod.

“I’ve heard and read about the Wicked Witch, she’s powerful.” You tell her.

“So is Regina. Plus she has you to fight for, I think she’ll fight as hard as she can to make sure she gets back to you.” She tells you.

“Can I tell you something that you can’t tell Regina?” You ask her and she nods. “Sometimes I feel like Regina only cares about Henry and forgets about me. I know that’s her son and kids always come first but I can’t help but feel like I’m in her way when it comes to her son.” You admit to her.

“It’s ok to feel that way. And your relationship with her is still new, she’s raised her son for over 10 years. She might be closer to her son right now but her feelings for you are true and real.” She tells you and you look at the fire. “I see it in her eyes everytime she looks at you, she looks at you the same way David looks at me. With love in her eyes.” She tells you and you sigh. “But now that her son is gone, she’ll need you more than ever.” Snow tells you.

*In the castle*

“Who are you planning to curse then?” Robin asks her.

“No one you’ll miss, no one anyone will miss.” Regina tells him and gets a long pin out of her hair and sticks it in the sleeping curse. 

“This is about your son, isn’t it?” Robin asks her. “I can’t let you do this.” He tells her and walks up to her.

“Then it’s a good thing you don’t have a say in the matter.” She tells him and freezes his feet.

“I know how you feel, Regina.”

“I doubt that.” She says and looks at the sleeping curse on the pin.

“When I lost my wife, I felt that there was no reason to go on. But then I found one, my son.”

“That’s where you and I are different. I already lost Henry, I already lost the only thing I care about.” She says to him.

“What about Y/n? Your girlfriend, isn’t she a reason to keep going on?” He asks her and she looks down.

“I love her so much, but I’ve wronged her so many times that this is better for her.” 

“I don’t think that’s up to you to decide.” Robin says to her. “Wouldn’t she be able to wake you up with true love’s kiss?” He asks her and she takes a deep breath.

“Only the strongest of love can break it, so only Henry will be able to break it.” She tells him.

“How do you think she’ll feel when they all come here and she sees that you cursed yourself and won’t be able to talk to you ever again?” He asks her and she looks at him then looks down at the pin and sighs.

Back at the campfire you’re eating some food and then you hear Grumpy yell that the barrier is down and immediately get up.

“Let’s move out!” David yells and everyone gets up and starts to move in on the castle. 

You get there and Regina tells everyone that the Wicked Witch is gone but still alive and you breathe out a sigh of relief. Everyone goes to get settled in while Emma and David go talk to Regina and Robin comes up to you.

“Y/n, there’s something you should know.” He tells you and you look at him. “Regina was going to cast a sleeping curse on herself as she’s upset about losing her son.” He explains to you.

“What?” You ask a little too loud and Regina looks over to you and sees you and Robin talking. You walk over to her and slap her arm. 

“Ow!” She says and looks at you confused.

“You were going to cast a sleeping curse on yourself!” You accuse her.

“But I didn’t.” She says.

“But you were going to.” You counter. “What the hell, Regina!” 

“We should talk in private about this.” She tells you and you sigh.

“Ok, which room is ours and we’ll talk.” You say and put your hands on your hips.

“You can have your old bedroom, Regina, and David and I can have my old bedroom.” Snow tells you both and you immediately grab Regina’s wrist and drag her to the bedroom.

“Ok, so what’s going on with you?” You ask as soon as you close the door to the bedroom.

“You know exactly what.” She says and you sigh.

“Regina, I know you miss Henry, but casting a sleeping curse on yourself is not the answer.” You say as you walk up to her.

“Henry would be able to wake me up, and that’s why I would want to wake.” She says.

“Regina, I know Henry means a lot to you, but you have other people that care about you. I mean I love you a lot, I would be able to break the curse as well.” You say and she looks down. “Unless you don’t actually love me.” You say and then go to walk out but she grabs your hand and you turn around to look at her.

“Y/n, I do love you, I just feel so lost without Henry.” She admits to you.

“Regina, I know this is going to be hard for you, but there’s people that are here for you. There’s me and Snow for starters.” You say and she looks down and nods.

“If I lost you as well then my heart wouldn't just break, it would be destroyed.” She says and you pull her in for a hug and she hugs you back. “Thank you.” She tells you and you pull back.

“I haven’t done anything.” You say to her.

“You have, you’re one of the reasons I didn’t want to cast the sleeping curse on myself.” She tells you. “As well as loving me even though you shouldn’t.”

“You’ve proved to me that it’s right to love you. Also what’s the other reason you didn’t cast the curse?”

“The Wicked Witch and I had a chat, and she admitted that she’s my half sister, so I have someone to destroy.” She tells you and you widen your eyes.

“How is that possible? She’s always been in Oz.” You ask.

“Apparently my mother gave her up and sent her to Oz right after she was born.” Regina tells you and you hum. You then look around the room and a lot of emotions are going through you.

“It’s so weird being back here.” You say and you turn around to look at everything and you feel her arms wrap around you and you lean into her. 

“A good weird or a bad weird?” She asks you.

“Just weird, not sure what kind of weird yet. There’s good and bad memories here, in this room and in the castle.” You tell her and she starts kissing your neck and you giggle. “I remember this happening a few times.” You say and she smiles as she keeps kissing and begins sucking. You then feel her hands start to trail down your body and you grab her hands. “Not that yet.” You tell her and you turn around out of her grasp. “Being here will take some getting used to.” You say and she nods.

“That’s ok, I can wait.” She says and you smile at her before giving her a kiss.

“Now what do you say we help The Charmings with transforming this castle into what it should be for everyone?” You ask her and she smiles and nods before you two leave the room. “You know, I don’t know if I like your hair better long or short.” You tell her and she chuckles before you both leave the room.

*one month later*

You’re both sitting in the library, and you’re laying on her lap reading a book out loud while she scratches your scalp. 

“And with that the brave knight defeats the mighty beast and saves the princess.” You read and she laughs. “What?” You ask her.

“I don’t understand why you like these books, they all end the same way.” She says.

“I guess that’s why I like them, a predictable happy ending. But sometimes it’s about the adventure, not the ending.” You tell her and close the book and sit up. 

“You’re adorable.” She says softly and you lean in and kiss her. You immediately deepen the kiss and put your hands on the back of her head.

“If you two are going to do that then can you take it somewhere else.” You hear Belle say and you pull back and look at her.

“Sorry.” You tell her and then you place the book on the table and then grab her hand and pull her out of the library. You pull her down the hallway until you get to the bedroom and you continue kissing her. Regina pulls away after a few seconds and she looks at you and tries to catch her breath.

“Your kisses are making me too excited, I need a minute.” She says and you wrap your arms around her waist and pull her up against you and she looks at you with wide eyes. “Are you trying to kill me?” She asks and you giggle.

“Maybe, but I’m also wanting to go further.” You tell her and she looks at you for a second before she cups your cheeks and pulls you in for a kiss. She then walks forward towards the bed until you fall down on it and she straddles your lap and continues kissing you.

“I love you.” She says and trails her kisses down to your neck.

“I love you too.” You tell her breathlessly. She then pulls back and waves her hand to remove your dress before pushing you down onto your back.

“Your body is just as beautiful as I remember.” She says and you smile then pull her down to kiss her.

“Take your clothes off.” You tell her when you pull back. She then waves her hand and then she’s left in a small corset and underwear. “That’s better.” You say and then she waves her hand to take your corset off and she begins kissing all over your chest. “Regina.” You moan out and she looks at you with a smile.

“It’s been about 30 years since I’ve last had you, I’m taking all the time I want with you.” She says and you groan and place your head back on the bed.

“Too bad it’s that you can’t wait any longer to feel inside of me again.” You say and she giggles.

“Don’t worry, I won’t take too much time, but enough to make you so wound up.” She says seductively while running her hands all over your chest. She then leans down and quickly puts a nipple in her mouth and you gasp at the sensation.

She leaves kisses all over your chest and then she leaves a trail of kisses all the way down to your pussy and you buck your hips. She starts leaving kisses all over both of your thighs and you groan.

“You’re such a tease.” You say and she winks at you. She then magics away your underwear and she starts to feel all over your entrance and you gasp and moan. “Regina.” You gasp out and then she slides a finger inside of you and you gasp loudly and close your eyes to feel everything. 

She starts pumping in and out of you and you try to match her thrust but she pins your hips down and slows down inside of her.

“Try to take control again and I’ll stop.” She tells you and you groan before she goes faster. You then grab her hand and bring her down for a kiss and she smiles into the kiss. She then curls her fingers inside of you and you gasp and break the kiss. Regina brings her other hand to your clit and starts circling it. You start squirming under her and she smiles. “I always love it when you start squirming, shows me how much you want it.” She tells you. “Are you close honey?” She asks and you nod. “Tell me how much you want it.” 

“Regina, please, I really want to come.” You beg her and she chuckles before humming.

“Come for me then, let me hear you.” She says and your legs start to shake and your toes curl before your orgasm rips through you and you come with a gasp. She pulls out of you and watches as you come down from your high. She then leans down and kisses you and it takes you a second to realise what she’s doing before you kiss her back. You then wrap your legs around her body and pull her close to you.

“Do me a favour, remove the rest of your clothes.” You tell her and she waves her hand and then she’s completely naked. “Hmm, just as beautiful as I remember.” You tell her and then you kiss her again. While distracting her with your kisses, you slip a finger in her entrance and she gasps and breaks the kiss.

“Oh my god!” She yells out and you smirk as you start pumping.

“Does that feel good?” You ask her and she nods and whimpers.

“Don’t stop.” She says breathlessly.

“Wouldn’t dream of stopping, not when you look so stunning when my fingers are inside of you.” You tell her and she whimpers again. She then looks into your eyes and you immediately know what she needs so you start pumping faster and she falls on top of you. “I got you.” You tell her as you feel her whole body tensing up. “Breathe.” You remind her as she was too distracted by her oncoming orgasm.

“Oh my god, oh my god.” She mutters out and then she grabs your hair and squeezes it as she comes. You pull out of her gently and then she rolls off of you and lays beside you. “Even after so much time, we still remember each other’s bodies.” She says and you roll over so you’re facing her.

“I’m surprised you still remember.” You tell her as you move some hair out of her face. “You remember those 28 years, I don’t.” You say and she nods.

“Sometimes it was hard, watching you live a life without me, not being able to be close to you, to hold you.” She says. “It took me a year to realise that the heart of the person I love the most wasn’t the only price. The price was loneliness, to lose the 2 people that I love.” 

“You still have me though, you always will.” You say and cup her cheek. “I’m not planning on going anywhere.”

“I’m trying to protect you as best as I can because I can’t lose you as well. I lost my father and then my son, you’re the only happiness left in my life.” She says and you lean over and kiss her. “Come here.” She says and you move over and she wraps her arms around you and places a kiss on the top of your head. 

“You have friends as well and the knowledge that your son is safe and happy with Emma.” You tell her.

“But he doesn’t remember me.” She reminds you.

“But he’s safe and not alone because of you. And I couldn’t be prouder of what you’ve accomplished in your life.” 

“I can’t believe that you were able to forgive me even after I hurt you and kept denying how I felt about you for 5 years.” She says and looks into your eyes.

“You admitted your mistakes and you worked your ass off to make up for them. And I’m certain you’d still be doing that if I hadn’t forgiven you.” You tell her and she nods.

“You’re my true love and I’ve loved you for over 35 years. I would have dedicated my entire life to make up for how I treated you.” She says and you smile at her. 

“I knew you always had love in your darkened heart.” You say and nuzzle your head into her neck.

“You’re right, cause I love you so much.” She says and wraps her arms tightly around you.

“I love you too.” You say softly.

*3 months later*

Regina has trapped you against the wall and is making out with you. She tucks some hair behind your ear before she starts trailing her kisses down to your neck and starts sucking.

“Do you two mind doing that in a private room at another time?” You hear Snow say and you look to see Snow and David staring at you both. Regina pulls away a bit embarrassed and you see her cheeks have a cute blush on them. “I am happy to see you happy though Regina.” Snow adds and Regina looks at her and smiles.

“Thank you.” She says and you wrap your arms around her waist.

“Was there something you both needed?” You ask them.

“We’ve decided to gather the kingdom.” David tells you both and you all start walking to the main area while you hold Regina’s hand.

“And why’s that?” Regina asks them and Snow turns around with a big smile and a hand on her belly.

“You’re pregnant?” You ask her and she nods. “Wow, that’s quite an age gap between your two kids. And also congratulations.” You tell her and Snow chuckles. 

“It is quite an age gap but it’s what we want. We couldn’t raise Emma but we can at least raise this new one.” Snow says and you smile. Just them Aurora and Philip enter the room and you see Regina doesn’t look too impressed.

“May I?” You ask her and stick your hand out and she nods. You go forward and touch her belly and feel that it’s harder. “Wow, I can’t believe you’re pregnant again.” You say and then return to Regina’s side.

“You’ve gathered the entire kingdom for this?” Regina asks, unimpressed. “There’s a Wicked Witch out there just waiting to pounce, and pretending otherwise would be dangerous.”

“There’s nothing dangerous about rallying our people.” David tells her.

“You’re announcing you’re pregnant, it’s not like you invented the wheel.” Regina tells them.

“Regina, Zelena hasn’t made a move in months. And I think a pregnancy announcement is nice.” You tell her and she takes a deep breath.

“Her not attacking is what I’m worried about. It means she’s planning something. And I need to know what she’s planning so I can protect you.” She tells you and then you hear footsteps approach behind you and you all turn to look at who just entered.

“What’s this?” David asks and the stranger lifts their hood and you see Belle there.

“Belle!” You exclaim and Belle looks at you with a smile. “Are you ok?” You ask her and she nods.

“When you and Neal disappeared, we feared the worst.” David tells her.

“We went off to see if we could revive the Dark One.” She explains.

“What happened?” Regina asks her.

“Neal was able to resurrect him, at the cost of his own life.” Belle says and you gasp.

“So Rumple’s alive?” You ask.

“Neal’s dead?” Snow asks her.

“I think so.” Belle tells you all.

“To which?” Regina asks her.

“Both.” Belle says and you give her a confused look. “You see when Rumple saw that Neal was dying, he, absorbed him. And Zelena got ahold of the dagger.” She tells you all and you sigh. “Now she controls Rumple.” She adds and you feel Regina wrap an arm around your waist and pull you closer to her.

“Maybe now isn’t the time to announce your pregnancy. Regina is right, it’s too dangerous.” You hear Aurora say.

“No! If…if we don’t, we give into fear. But if we do, we give the kingdom what they need, hope.” Snow says.

“Snow, I agree with Aurora and Regina. Announcing that you’re carrying a child makes it a target for the Wicked Witch.” You tell her. “I know you want to give the people hope, but risking your child isn’t the way to do that.” You add.

“We don’t even know what the Wicked Witch wants.” David says.

“Actually, we do. She wants your baby.” Aurora tells them and you all look at her.

“She came to us when you were gone.” Philip says.

“Why didn’t you say any of this before?” You ask them.

“She threatened us and our unborn child, unless we told her when you arrived in our land.” Philip explains.

“She thinks your baby could be important. I’m so sorry, she said she’d hurt us.” Aurora tells Snow and then you hear the wind and you look at the window and see Zelena come flying in on a broom. Regina pulls you behind her to protect you and she gets ready to attack if necessary. 

Zelena lands and looks at Aurora and Philip. “And I make good on my promises.” She tells them and then waves her hand and turns them into flying monkeys. You watch the two monkeys exchange a quick conversation and then they fly away. 

Snow then turns to look at Zelena with a stern expression. “What do you want with our baby?” She asks sternly.

“Calm down, sweetie, you don’t want to go into early labour.” Zelena says and then freezes Snow.

“Stay away from my wife!” David yells and draws his sword but Zelena immediately freezes him.

“Ooh! Someone’s testy.” Zelena says and Regina sighs.

“Stay here.” She whispers to you and then looks at Zelena and starts to walk towards her. “Enough, sis. This is between you and me.” Regina says to her and goes to do magic on her but Zelena freezes her as well. Zelena walks forward and you go and stand next to Belle. 

“Relax Y/n, I’m not here for you.” Zelena tells you. “Although it would be fun to kill Regina’s happiness.” She says and then walks to Snow White. “Now, let’s see if this was all worth it.” She says and feels Snow’s belly. “Oh yes, yes it was. This child shall do quite nicely.” She tells a frozen Snow. “So take good care of it for me and don’t forget to eat well. I will be back for your happy day. And what’s yours will be mine.” She says and then looks at you. “You know I could make this fun.” Zelena says and then she waves her hand and you disappear into smoke. She then gets on her broom and unfreezes everyone and Regina immediately looks behind her to see you aren’t there and looks back at Zelena.

“Where is she?!?!” Regina asks her.

“That’s for you to find out.” Zelena tells her and then she flies away. Regina’s breathing picks up and she falls to the floor.

“Regina, we will find her. You know me and David are good at finding each other and other people.” Snow tells her as she goes to her. Regina’s breathing gets out of control and Snow immediately knows what to do. “Regina, you’re having a panic attack. Follow my breathing.” Snow says and then proceeds to show her and Regina copies her. About a minute later Regina’s breathing is back under control.

“I have to find her, I can’t lose her.” Regina tells Snow.

“We will. We’ll try every locator spell and I’ll ask everyone to look for her.” Snow promises her and Regina nods as a tear falls down her cheek.

Regina takes up occupancy in the library. Her and Belle go through every spell book while Snow and David get the word out to go and find you.

“Have you found anything to help locate her?” Snow asks as she comes into the library.

“I’ve tried 3 spells.” Regina says, irritated.

“I tried to cast one with something important of hers and it didn’t work.” Regina says and then throws the books off the table.

“Ok, just calm down. Something will turn up so we can locate her.” Snow says.

“I’ll be able to help.” You hear and they turn to the entrance to see Tinkerbell there. “I helped you find her once before, Regina, I can do it again. Only this time I had permission to use pixie dust.” She says and walks to Regina. 

“What do I need to do?” Regina immediately asks her.

“Just focus on her.” Tinkerbell says and Regina nods. “Let’s go near the balcony and I’ll give you the ability to fly again and we’ll just have to follow the pixie dust.” She adds and they walk towards it. Tinkerbell blows the pixie dust onto Regina and some it starts floating away while the rest gives her the ability to fly. “There it goes, it’s leading us to her.” Tink says and then they fly off and follow it. 

It leads them far away from the castle and all the way out to sea. It leads them all the way to a boat that Regina doesn’t recognise.

“Let me go!” You yell at the pirates and then you see the leader come out. He sees you tied up to a pole and smiles. “Blackbeard, let me go.” You tell him sternly.

“We’re out in the middle of the ocean. No one can save you and no way back to shore before you get eaten by something in the water.” He says and gets dangerously close to you. “But maybe we can all have a bit of fun with you.” He says and cuts you free from the pole but keeps your hands tied behind your back. He then starts to lead you to his cabin but he gets stopped by a fireball in his path. You both stop and then you look up to see Regina and Tink flying in the air.

“Regina!” You say with a huge smile. You then get grabbed by Blackbeard and pulled close to him and he gets his sword out.

“Back off pirate, this girl is mine.” Regina says and lands on the boat. 

“Ah, the Evil Queen. You have good taste in women as this woman is truly magnificent. She’s feisty and beautiful.” Blackbeard says to her. “But if you bring any harm to me, my boat or my crew then I will kill her.” He adds.

“I don’t want to cause any harm, I just want her back.” She tells him.

“And why would I hand her over so willingly? Such an interesting prize. Especially one that just appeared out of nowhere right on my ship.” He tells her and Regina looks at you.

“I am no one’s prize.” You tell him through gritted teeth.

“But you are. You see, as any pirate, something has to be won over.” He says and then looks at Regina. “If you want your woman back then you’ll have to win against me in a sword battle.” He says and then throws a sword at her feet. “No magic, just a good old sword fight.” He tells her and then gives you to a crew member. Regina picks up the sword but then quickly casts a sleeping spell on everyone except for you. You feel the crew member let go of you before he falls to the floor and you run to Regina.

“Regina!” You exclaim and she wraps you in her arms. She then snaps her fingers and the rope falls from your wrists and you give her a hug. 

“Are you ok? Are you hurt at all?” She asks you and you shake your head.

“I just want to go home.” You tell her and she nods.

“Thank you Tink.” She says to Tinkerbell and Tink nods before she flies off. Regina wraps her arms around you and brings you back to the castle. 

You appear in the main hall of the castle and a few people are there at that moment.

“Regina! Y/n!” Snow says with a smile. “You were able to find her.” Snow tells Regina.

“Yes, Zelena sent her to Blackbeard’s ship.” She explains and then looks at you. “I still want to examine you. I know you said you were fine but I want to make sure.” She says and you lean your head on her chest.

“I’m just in shock, but physically I’m fine.” You tell the room. 

“Ok, let’s go to our room.” Regina tells you and then leads you out and to the bedroom. “Sit on the bed.” She says and just as you do, she waves her hand and all your clothes are gone.

“Regina.” You say and she walks over to you.

“Did you really think I would listen to you? No. Remember when you were my maid and you said you were fine after I rescued you from the forest?” She asks and you nod. “You actually had a huge wound and almost died from the poison.” She tells you and you look down. “No way I am taking any chances.” She says and looks you over. “I’m checking every inch of your skin.” She says and then you stand up but she pushes you back down. 

“You’re not going to find anything.” You say as she checks your back.

“I’ll be the judge of that and she slides her hands over your arms and you hiss when she reaches your wrists. “Looks like just a rope burn.” She tells you and waves her hand over your wrists and heals the burns.

“Thank you.” You tell her and feel your wrists as they don’t hurt anymore. She then goes down on her knees and checks over your legs. “The only thing worth finding down there is my pussy.” You tell her and she looks up at you. She leans her arms at the top of your legs and stares at you.

“And does that need to be checked?” She asks you seriously and you shake your head.

“You saved me before they could have their way with me.” You tell her and then she smirks and spreads your legs apart. 

“And maybe I should get rewarded since I saved you.” She says and sees you slightly wet. 

She pulls you closer to the edge of the bed and wraps her arms around your thighs. She then dives down to your entrance and licks through your folds and you keep yourself up as you lean on your forearms. She looks again and sees you soaked and she smirks. She spreads your legs apart even more and brings her mouth to your entrance and slips her tongue in.

“Oh my god.” You say breathlessly and she looks up at you while still fucking you with her tongue. You bring one hand to her hair and run your fingers through it while occasionally looking at her. After about a minute or so, she goes to your clit and starts sucking on it and you fall back on the bed. You feel her tongue go all over your clit and occasionally sucks on it and you start bucking your hips. “Regina.” You gasp out and she takes your hand out of her hair and holds your hand in hers. She then moves her other hand and goes to hold your other hand. “Oh god, oh I love you so much.” You moan out and she smiles as she continues sucking on your clit. 

Before you know it, you feel your orgasm start to build and Regina feels your body start to tense and you squeeze her hands. All of a sudden you’re at the edge and you tense up completely before you let go and your orgasm washes through you. Regina licks everything up and then she stands up with a proud smile as you catch your breath. You then look up at her and see her face as you chuckle.

“You look proud of yourself.” You tell her through heavy breaths and she nods before getting on the bed.

“I’m very proud.” She says and goes to sit behind you and puts your head on her lap. “But I’m mostly happy that I got you back.” She tells you and moves all the hair out of your face. “I need you here with me.” She adds and you look at her.

“You know, you told me that I’m not your maid anymore but I still help you get dressed.” You say.

“Have you seen how hard it is to get dressed in these things by yourself?” She asks and you giggle.

“You could start wearing other clothes.” You tell her. “You’re not the Evil Queen anymore so you could start dressing differently, to represent your new personality.” 

“I like these clothes.” She tells you. “And they make me look great and sexy.” She adds.

“Oh you definitely do, but they’re a bitch to put on and take off.” 

Regina then places her hands lovingly on your stomach and you place your hands on top of them and you get comfortable before you fall asleep. Regina waves her hand and gets you comfortably under the covers without waking you up. 

“Good night, sweetheart.” She says and places a kiss on your forehead before she walks out and goes to the main hall. “We need to find that bitch and rip her heart out.” She says angrily and everyone turns to look at her. 

“How’s Y/n?” Belle asks her.

“She’s fine, she’s sleeping right now. I checked her out and I could only find rope burns on her wrist that I healed.” She tells everyone. “That bitch wanting to play games is one thing, but using Y/n just gave her a death sentence.”  She says.

“We were just discussing if there might be a way to defeat her but can’t find anything.” David tells her.

“I’ve only gone through a small section of the library. I can keep looking though.” Belle says.

“How about tonight you rest up Belle, and tomorrow how about you and Y/n search the library. She knows the library the best so maybe she can help you find something.” Snow tells Belle and Belle nods before leaving. “Regina, why don’t you look to see if there’s a way that can defeat her.” Snow tells Regina.

“I don’t want to just defeat her, I want to destroy her.” Regina says angrily and Snow walks up to her. 

“Regina, I know you’re angry and upset that you lost Y/n today because of Zelena but we are going to find a way to destroy her.” Snow tells her and grabs her shoulders. “Zelena probably did what she did because it could make you act irrationally.” Snow adds and Regina looks at her. “What do you think Y/n would want you to do?” Snow asks her and Regina takes a deep breath.

“She’ll want me to come up with a plan first.” Regina says and sighs.

“Exactly, so focus on coming up with a plan and then we can defeat her once we do.” Snow tells her and Regina nods. “For now, why don’t you stay by Y/n’s side.” Snow suggests and Regina nods before turning around and walks towards the bedroom. She opens the door and sees you peacefully sleeping on the bed and she waves her hands to get out of her clothes and slides into bed next to you.

The next day you’re flipping through a book in the library and you sigh as you close it and then you set it aside and start flipping through another one.

“Any luck?” You hear and then you feel hands rubbing up and down your arms and you shake your head. “You two have been at this for 5 hours. Why don’t you both take a break?” She says to both you and Belle.

“Ya, I think I need a break.” Belle says and she gets up and leaves the library.

“Hey, it’s a beautiful day, how about we go and take a walk outside?” Regina suggests and you lean into her before nodding. A few minutes later you’re both walking through the gardens, holding hands. “Y/n.” Regina says and you look at her. “Snow might have accidentally let something slip out that you told her that was bothering you when we first got here.” She tells you.

“What?” You ask her.

“She said that you told her that you feel like you’re in the way when it comes to Henry.” She clarifies and you look down and she stops walking and turns towards you. “I know how I acted probably didn’t help but I want you to know that you’re never in the way. I love both you and Henry equally. In different ways but equally.” She tells you and you look into her eyes. 

“Really?” You ask her and she nods. 

“And I don’t want you to think that I only care about Henry.” She says and caresses your cheek. “I would have acted the same way if Henry was here and I lost you.” She tells you and you hug her and she immediately hugs you tightly. “Hey, look.” She says and you look at what she’s looking at. 

“Is that a flower?” You ask her and she nods. 

“A yellow tulip. Do you remember what it means?” She asks you and you shake your head.

“I studied all the meanings of flowers at some point but can’t remember it now.” You tell her and she smiles. She then plucks the tulip and stands up. She casts a spell on the flower and walks over to you.

“It means sunshine in your smile.” She tells you and then puts it in your hair. “Your smile really does light up my world.” She says and you smile. “That’s the smile I’m talking about.” 

“It’s hard to believe that you used to be evil when you say things like that.” You say and she grabs your hand and continues walking.

“You know better than anyone how far I’ve come.” She says and you nod. “Also the spell I casted on it will make sure it never wilts, so you can have that flower forever.”

“Well it’s a beautiful flower, but the fact that you gave it to me makes it even more beautiful.” You say and she gives you a kiss.

*One Month Later*

“Belle and I have been through every book twice, we couldn’t find a thing to help us defeat her.” You tell everyone at the table. “Especially since we know nothing about her. If we knew more than maybe there’s something.” You add and they all sigh.

“We’ve fought against villains before and won, we can do it again.” Snow says.

“Snow, Zelena is powerful, more powerful than Regina. If there’s a way to defeat her then it won’t be easy to find.” You tell her.

“But there must be a way to defeat her though.” David says.

“If there is a way then it’s not in any of these books.” Belle says and you nod.

“Belle and I think we could possibly find out a way in Oz but that’s really risky.” You tell them.

“And I’m not letting you out of my sight.” Regina tells you and wraps an arm around your waist.

You’ve noticed Regina has been more protective of you lately since the incident with Zelena and Blackbeard. You don’t mind her being protective of you but you do wish you could go somewhere without her following you, even just to have a few minutes alone.

The next day Regina wakes up and sees you’re not there. She quickly uses her magic to get dressed and then goes searching for you in the castle. She looks in all the places that you like first, the library, garden, main hall. 

“Regina, you look stressed, what’s wrong?” Snow asks her when she sees her in the main hall.

“I can’t find Y/n, I woke up and she wasn’t there and I don’t know where she is.” Regina tells her.

“She left early this morning with David, Belle and Robin to see if any magical beings can help us with Zelena.” Snow tells her. 

“What? Why didn’t she wake me?” Regina asks.

“She told me she wanted to let you sleep in as you haven’t been sleeping well lately.” Snow explains to her.

“Ugh, now I have to go find her!” Regina says and goes to leave but Snow stops her.

“Regina, I’m positive she’s alright. David and Robin are there to protect her and Belle.”

“Zelena is my sister and has a vendetta against me and doesn’t mind using Y/n to destroy me.”

“I’ve noticed that you’ve been extremely protective of her lately, Y/n mentioned it to me as well. Why are you following her everywhere?”

“Because I have to protect her, I can’t lose her. She’s all I have left.” Regina tells her with fear and sadness in her voice.

“Regina, I know you’re scared but you can’t watch over her every minute of the day.” Snow tells her. “David is scared as well, he’s scared of leaving me and the baby. But he knows he can’t always protect me.”

“You’re different though, you know how to protect yourself, especially against me. Y/n and Belle are both bookworms, they don’t know how to fight, they use their brains instead.” Regina tells her.

“You’re right, I know how to protect myself, and Y/n knows as well to a certain extent. Just trust that she’s ok. And plus, David and Robin don’t want to get on your bad side, they’ll protect her as best as they can.” Snow reassures her. “How about for now, you help me decorate the nursery? You’ve already had to do that for Henry and I can use some help from a fellow mother.” Snow offers and Regina nods.

“Ok.” Regina says and they go to the nursery.

A few hours later Regina and Snow are placing a few items in the nursery when everyone comes back.

“Snow!” David shouts out down the hall and then you see Regina come running out and Snow walks out a few seconds later.

“Y/n!” Regina yells when she sees you and comes running to you and hugs you. “I was so worried.” She says while still hugging you.

“I’m fine, nothing happened beside the occasional wild animal but David and Robin protected me.” You explain to her as she pulls away.

“Just don’t leave me again. My sister is still out there and wants to destroy me and will definitely not hesitate to use you again to do that.” Regina tells you and you cup her cheek.

“Regina, you can’t be with me all the time, I love that you want to protect me but you need to live your life as well.” You tell her softly.

“But you are my life.” She says.

“You’re sweet.” You tell her with a smile.

“Hey Y/n I can use your help over here.” Snow says and you walk over to her as she’s picking out a colour for the nursery. “Did you get enough space?” She asks and you nod.

“Thank you for distracting her.” You tell her and she nods.

“Of course. I do have to admit that it’s cute that she’s so protective and sweet with you. Never thought I’d see the day where Regina is madly in love again.” Snow says.

“It is cute until she’s following you everywhere for a month.” You say and you look at some bright blue colours. “This blue is nice, blue is supposed to have a calming effect on the mind.” You explain to her.

“It is nice.” Snow says as she looks at it. “I heard you guys didn’t find anything.” She says and you shrug.

“We have time, you’re not due for another 7 or 8 months. I’m sure we’ll find something by then.” 

“I’m sure we will as well.” She tells you. “You know, I think I’ll go with the blue you picked.” She says and you smile.

7 months later and you’re all sitting at the round table, trying to come up with a solution on how to stop Zelena.

“It’s been 7 months and we still haven’t found a thing.” You say.

“Grumpy still hasn’t come back yet, we have to hold out hope that one of the fairies found something this time.” David tells you. Just as he finishes that, Grumpy walks back in and you look at him. “Grumpy, tell me you found something.” David says to him.

“I’ve been to Blue, Tink, all the fairies, they’ve been scouring the forest for enchanted items to destroy her, but they got zilch.” He says and you sigh. “They say she’s just too powerful.” He adds.

“It’s happening again, I’m about to give birth and an evil sorceress is threatening the future of my child.” Snow says and you look at her.

“To be fair, the first time I was threatening you. Everyone else just became collateral damage.” Regina says and you shake your head.

“Remind me again why we forgave her?” Grumpy asks.

“Because I’m helping.” Regina says, a bit shocked and defensive and you snort. “Frustrating as it is for me to remember, Snow, you had a head start to defeat me last time. How?” Regina asks and you look at Snow.

“We were warned.” David tells her.

“By Rumplestilskin.” Snow adds.

“Well maybe he can warn you again.” Regina says and you look at her.

“Isn’t he currently being held captive by the Wicked Witch?” You ask and Belle nods.

“And at his own castle.” Grumpy says. “Name’s Grumpy, not stupid.”

“You’re right. It is stupid, but for our child-” Snow starts to say.

“We’ll do whatever it takes.” David finishes for her and grabs her hand.

“Heartwarming.” Regina says with a bit of sarcasm lacing her voice. “He’s trapped in his own castle.” Regina starts and then turns to Belle. “Belle, you were prisoner there.” Regina tells her.

“Yes, but breaking in? I would have no idea how.” Belle explains.

“Luckily, I do.” Robin says and you look at him. “I broke in there once before.”

“Why are we even listening to him?” Regina asks you all. “He’s a thief, which means not to be trusted. What are you even still doing here?” Regina asks him.

“What I’m doing here is saving your ass.” He tells her and you chuckle.

“Regina, he may be a thief, but you were the Evil Queen and tried to kill everyone in this room. Including me.” You tell her and she looks at you.

“I was never going to kill you.” She says.

“There were moments when you wanted to.” You tell her. “Like that time I saved Snow from you.” You add and she sighs. “All I’m saying is we could use his help and his past shouldn’t define him.” You say and then everyone turns to look at Robin.

“Thank you Y/n.” He tells you and you nod. “The castle has traps, and deadly ones.” He explains.

“Not more deadly than my magic.” Regina says with annoyance.

“They are if you don’t see them coming.” Robin counters.

“Well maybe I’m ok with taking my chances.” Regina counters right back.

“Alright, you may be but we’re not, he’s coming.” Snow says and Regina sighs.

“I’d prefer it if he came as well.” You say and Regina shoots you a glare. “I’m just saying that I’d prefer to stay alive, and I think you’d prefer that as well.” You add and she sighs loudly.

“Fine!” She says dramatically while looking up at the ceiling before looking at Robin. “You’re lucky my girlfriend wants to bring you along.” She tells him and he looks smugly at her before you grab her hand.

You all decide to break in at night and you all walk inside. You look around and you shiver a bit.

“You ok?” Regina asks and you nod.

“Ya, just last time I was here I was kidnapped and was held here before being sent to that forest.” You tell her.

“I remember that.” She says. “You know the only reason he kidnapped you was because he figured out my feelings for you before I did and he was worried you’d mess up his plans and prevent me from casting the curse.” She explains to you.

“Well it only took years for the explanation.” You say and she chuckles. She then walks towards a big door that’s on the right while you keep looking around the room.

“Your Majesty, I wouldn’t.” Robin says and she looks back at him and scoffs before turning back towards the door and reaches for the doorknob. You then see Robin take an arrow out and immediately shoot it at the door and the door lights up on fire and you gasp. Regina then turns around quickly and glares at him.

“That arrow almost took off my head!” She yells at him.

“Well that door almost took off your arm.” Robin counters and you go towards Robin. “Where I come from, a simple thank you would suffice.” He tells her.

“Where you come from, people bathe in the river and use pinecones for money.” She says and you roll your eyes.

“Well I want to say thank you for saving my very stubborn girlfriend.” You tell him and Regina looks at you and you quirk an eyebrow at her before she scoffs.

“Come on, let’s go.” Snow White says and you all walk towards the door while Regina opens the door.

In the room, you all see a cage and Rumple inside the cage turning straw into gold. You look at the cage in disbelief for a second and you see Regina doing the same.

“Rumplestilskin?” Snow says and he giggles.

“Rumple, bumple isn’t here. Rumple, bumple, gone, my dear.” He says and you all step forward.

“He really is back from the dead.” Regina says with a smile.

“Dead, dead, so much better, dead.” Rumple says.

“Did his mind not come back with him? It seems he’s lost it.” You say.

“On the contrary, now I have two! Two minds.” He tells you all. “Mining time, digging deeper in the grime.” He says before going back to spinning straw.

“What is she doing to him?” Belle asks in disbelief and you go up to her and put your hand on her shoulder for support.

“Nothing that can’t be undone.” Snow says and walks forward. “Rumplestilskin, we need your help. How do we stop Zelena?” She asks him.

“Round and round the circle of time racing towards the finish line.” Rumple says.

“This is pointless.” Regina says to you all.

“Wait, Belle, why don’t you try to reach him?” You tell her and she looks at you and nods before going up to the cage.

“Hey. Hey, Rumple.” She says and reaches in the cage to grab his hand but he pulls it back. “Hey, hey.” She says and Rumple looks at her. “I know you’re in there, I know you can hear me. How do we stop Zelena?” She asks him and he finally lets her hold his hand.

“Light.” He says.

“What?” Belle asks him.

“Light magic.” He clarifies. “The Good Witch of the South, Glinda.” He explains.

“Glinda.” Belle says and she nods. “South of what? Oz?” She asks him.

“No! Banished, here!” He tells her. “The Good Witch of the South was banished North. North of the dark forest.” 

“And how do we find her?” You ask him and he ignores you.

“Rumplestilskin, in the dark forest, how do we find her?” Snow asks him.

“Through the door, step inside, if pure of heart, then she won’t hide.” He says and then giggles. Regina gets frustrated and walks out and everyone follows after her.

“Well this is good, now we just need to find Glinda and she can defeat Zelena for us.” You say to all of them as you walk out of the castle.

“Wait, we?” Regina asks and you nod. “No, you’re not coming.” She tells you and you look taken back.

“What? But I can help.” You say.

“You heard him, we find her in the dark forest. I’m not bringing you to the dark forest, it’s too dangerous.” She says and you walk up to her.

“Well it’s a good thing you don’t have a say then and I can bring myself there.” You tell her and she quirks her eyebrows at you.

“No. you’re going back home with Belle and Robin and that’s final.” She says.

An hour later, Regina, You, David and Snow are walking through the forest, trying to find Glinda. You’re walking beside Regina and you go to hold her hand but she pulls away from you and glares at her.

“Oh come on, you can’t still be mad at me.” You tell her and give her a smile that she can never refuse.

“You can’t always win every argument, you shouldn’t be here.” She tells you and you tilt your head.

“Snow is here and she’s due to give birth at any moment.” You tell her and she sighs.

Both of you then look back at Snow and David and you see David pick a flower and hand it to Snow and you both walk over to them. Snow then looks at Regina who’s giving a very unimpressed look.

“What?” Snow asks her.

“We’re at the edge of the dark forest, trying to find the one person who can stop our imminent doom and save your unborn child, and you two stop to smell the roses?” She asks them.

“Snowbells.” Snow says and shows the flower and you see David smiling.

“I don’t care if they’re dancing daffodils, I need to destroy my sister, and so do you.” She says.

“Come on Regina, it’s cute that David gave her a flower.” You tell her and she turns to glare at you. 

“I don’t care if it’s cute or not, we’re in the dark forest and I don’t want to be here any longer than I have to be, especially with you here. And you shouldn’t even be here in the first place.” She says and you sigh before she starts walking. “If that babbling mad man sent us on a wild goose chase, I swear…” She says and then freezes when she sees a door in the middle of the forest. “What’s that supposed to be?” She asks and you look at it.

“Well it appears to be a door.” David tells her and she gives him an unimpressed look as you all walk closer and David goes to look at it. “That leads to nowhere.” He says and you piece it together in your head.

“Through the door, step inside, if pure of heart then she won’t hide.” You say and they all look at you. “Rumple’s riddle was a riddle on how to find her.” You say with a smile. “Glinda must be inside that door.” You say and Snow walks up to the door, opens it and steps inside.

“Snow!” David yells and runs in after her. Regina scoffs before you head towards the door.

“A portal with a cheap cloaking spell.” You hear her say before you step inside. Regina tries to step inside after you put it doesn’t let her. She gets frustrated and just closes the door in anger.

You, Snow and David look around at all the snow in the area before looking back at the door in confusion.

“Thought she was supposed to be the Good Witch of the South.” Snow says and you chuckle.

“I was.” You hear and you all turn around to see Glinda. “Before I was banished here.”

“Where’s Regina?” You ask her as you take a step forward.

“I’m afraid your traveling companion has a heart heavy with vengeance. Only a good witch may pass through my door.” She tells you and you let out a soft chuckle.

“Heart heavy with vengeance, that sounds like her.” You say.

“I’m not a witch, my name is…” Snow starts to say.

“I know who you are.” Glinda tells her. “I’ve heard many tales of your bravery. And now you hold not one pure heart but two. I sense powerful magic there.” She tells Snow.

“That’s why we’re here.” You tell her and she looks at you. “We need to stop the Wicked Witch and we were told your light magic can stop her. Will you help us?” You ask her.

“I’m sorry, my magic is not powerful enough to defeat Zelena.” She says and you sigh. “It never has been.”

“You know her.” David states and Glinda nods.

“We were friends long ago, when things were different. But she made her choice, she gave in to her dark magic. I tried to stop her, I failed.” She explains to all of you.

“There must be some way to defeat her.” Snow says to her.

“There is.” Glinda says and you look at her with interest. “She was born with great power. Long ago I gave her a pendant to help focus it. Her magic has resided inside of it ever since.”

“This pendant, does it look like yours but green?” You ask her and she nods.

“So if we remove it, she’ll lose her power and we can defeat her?” David asks her.

“Yes.” Glinda says.

“Just one question, I doubt Zelena is just going to hand this pendant over to us. How can we knock her on her ass long enough so we can take the pendant off?” You ask her.

“Only a purveyor of the strongest light magic will be able to accomplish such a feat.” She tells you.

“Light magic?” Snow asks.

“Magic created from love.” Glinda says.

“Emma.” You say and Snow looks at you.

“Our daughter, she’s the product of true love, she’s the saviour.” Snow tells Glinda.

“If she is as pure and powerful as you say, then yes, she, and only she, can defeat Zelena.” Glinda tells you and you frown as you all realise something.

“But she’s not in this land.” David says. “And we can’t get back to her.”

“Well, then, I’m afraid your quest is futile.” Glinda says.

“Actually there is a way.” Snow says and you look at her. “But there’s a steep price.” 

“Snow, you can’t mean… we can’t.” You tell her.

“Yes, we must enact the dark curse.” She says and you sigh as you look at David.

“Snow, we can’t. No one will be willing enough to crush the heart of the person they love the most.” You tell her.

“But we have to, it’s the only way to get back to Emma so she can defeat Zelena.” She tells you.

“We should go tell Regina all this, and maybe she’ll talk some sense into you.” You say and you all bid farewell to Glinda and then go through the door and step back into the dark forest. “Damn it’s cold there.” You say and Regina looks up and comes to you.

“You’re all back.” She says. “What did you find out?” She asks and Snow goes to sit on the log.

“A futile way to defeat Zelena.” You tell her and she looks at you confused.

“What?” She says.

“It’s not futile Y/n.” Snow tells you and you look at Regina.

“Glinda said the only way to defeat her is to blast her with light magic and take the pendant off of her which will take away all her power.” You tell her.

“WIth light magic?” She asks.

“Only the purveyor of the strongest light magic can defeat her.” Snow says.

“But that’s Emma, and she’s not in this land.” Regina says.

“We know, and Snow wants to enact the dark curse to send us back to her.” You tell her and she looks at them.

“Are you out of your minds?” Regina asks them.

“See? I told you she wouldn’t agree with you.” You tell Snow.

“Even if I believe this Glinda, which I don’t, to cast the Dark Curse, I’d have to destroy the heart of the thing I love most.” She says and then looks at you. “And it’s a tie between Henry and Y/n.” She says.

“There has to be another way to enact it.” Snow tells her.

“If there were, do you think I would have killed my own father?” She asks Snow and Snow’s face turns into a frown.

“What about a magic bean? If we had one, we could open a portal. Or Jefferson’s hat” David points out and you shake your head at him.

“There are no more portals.” Regina tells him bluntly. “Not for us, not for anyone the curse brought back. When I undid the first curse to escape Pan, to bring us here, it divided our realms. It placed a wall between them.” Regina explains.

“So the Dark Curse is the only way.” You say.

“Yes but I can’t cast it. I love you and Henry equally, and I don’t want to crush your heart and then it doesn’t work because maybe I love Henry just a bit more.” She says. “Also I don’t want to lose anyone else that I love.”

“But someone else can.” David says and you all look at him.

“Who?” Snow asks him and he looks at her.

“You.” David says and then goes down on his knees in front of snow. “You can use my heart to cast the curse.” He explains to her. “We have to think of our child.” He adds and you look at him in shock.

“Our child needs you, I need you.” Snow tells him. “We’ll find another way, we always find another way.” She says.

“You have to, Y/n is the only other person who can cast it but I wouldn’t ask her to go through that.” David tells her and Regina pulls you closer.

You all go back to the castle and Regina immediately gets started on making the curse. David stays by Snow and you walk up to them.

“Are you two sure about this?” You ask them.

“It’s the only way to get back to Emma so she can defeat Zelena.” David says and Snow shakes her head.

“I don’t want to lose you.” Snow says and David looks at you.

“I’ll give you some space.” You tell them and then walk over to Regina who’s putting the ingredients in a big cauldron and started a fire to boil it. She puts an ingredient in and then she goes behind you and wraps her arms around your waist and lays her head on your shoulder.

“Snow, it’s the only way.”

“I can’t cast it, I mean Y/n can cast it as well.” She tells him.

“Do you really want to destroy their happiness?” David asks her and Snow looks to see Regina cupping your cheek and saying something to you while you lean into her touch.

“No.” Snow says.

“It’s ready.” Regina says to them and Snow looks terrified.

“No, there has to be another way to get to Emma.” Snow says while looking at you and Regina.

“There isn’t.” Regina tells her. “You know if there were, I’d have gone back to Henry. This is it, this…sacrifice.” She says and looks at David.

“Snow, we have to do this.” David tells her and then looks at you both and you and Regina walk away to give them space.

“Do you think she has the strength to cast it?” You ask Regina.

“If she does then we’ll have a way to defeat Zelena and I might see Henry again.” She says and she pulls you in for a hug.

“Ok.” David says and Regina turns to look at them. “Do it.” David tells her and you see Regina doesn’t want to do this either.

“I won’t lie, this is going to hurt.” She tells him bluntly. “But it will work.” She adds and he nods. She then goes into his chest and pulls out his heart.

“Charming.” Snow says and David looks at her.

“Don’t say goodbye.” He tells her.

“I love you.” Snow tells him. “I love you more than anything.”

“Which is why you have to crush it.” David says and Regina grabs Snow’s hand and hands her his heart and then she goes back to wrapping her arms around you.

You watch as Snow puts David’s heart over the cauldron and looks at David the entire time she crushes it. Once the heart is crushed, David falls dead to the floor and Snow puts the ashes in the cauldron before she runs to him. Regina looks at them and she takes a deep breath.

“This won’t be in vain.” She tells Snow. “We will get back to Storybrooke, we will defeat-” She says and then you all hear Zelena coming in on her broom and sees that she does something to the curse. “Zelena.” Regina says and pushes you to stand behind her once Zelena lands.

“Did you really think you could enact Rumple’s Dark Curse and I wouldn’t know about it?” Zelena asks Regina.

“No, but I didn’t really care, you’re too late.” She tells her.

“Actually I’m not.” Zelena says and looks at Snow. “I’m afraid you sacrificed your charming husband for nothing.” Zelena tells Snow.

“Regina, he can’t die in vain.” Snow says to Regina while still looking at Zelena.

“She’s bluffing.” Regina immediately tells her and then looks at Snow. “Once the curse is enacted, it can’t be stopped.” Regina explains.

“I may not be able to stop it but that doesn’t mean I can’t spice it up a bit. How does a forgetting potion sound?” She asks and you widen your eyes. Just then a cloud comes up from the curse and you see it’s purple with specks of green in it and Regina looks like she wants to choke her sister.

“Mmm, sorry. Did you need your memories in the new land?” Zelena asks, voice full of sarcasm. “Were you planning to stop me? Or for that matter, recognise me?” She asks.

“We’ll find a way.” Snow says sternly.

“Without knowing any of this? I doubt it. You’ll be too busy looking for your husband. You won’t even know about his sacrifice. Just endlessly wondering where he could be, always fearing the worst.” She tells Snow and then looks at Regina and you grab a hold of her hand and Regina gives it a gentle squeeze. “Pay attention, sis. This is how you take away a happy ending.” Zelena tells her and then she flies away. You can see in that moment another way how much she’s changed as she doesn’t want to destroy happy endings anymore. You turn around and you see how Snow mourns her husband and then it looks like she got an idea and turns to Regina.

“Regina, I need you to rip out my heart.” She says and you look at her in confusion.

“Snow, I-” You start to say but she ignores you and keeps talking.

“Charming’s right. We have been of one heart since the day he woke me up from the sleeping curse. If you split my heart in half, we can both survive.” Snow explains.

“Snow, I know your love is strong.” Regina says as she goes up to Snow. “This isn’t like plucking a flower. How do you know it will work?” Regina asks.

“Faith! Belief!” Snow tells her and you see how young she still is in that moment. “I believe, I believe my heart is strong enough for both of us.” 

“But if you’re wrong, you’ll die.” Regina tells her bluntly.

“Please, please Regina. Do it.” Snow says and you tilt your head at Snow trusting Regina enough for this. 

You look to see the dilemma on Regina’s face before she gets on her knees and then goes into Snow’s chest and rips her heart out. Snow then lays on her back next to David and you see Regina splitting the heart in half and then putting one half back in Snow and the other in David. Regina then gets up and goes to you as Snow watches to see if David will wake up. A few seconds later and David wakes up with a jolt and takes a deep breath. You put both your arms around Regina and she wraps one around your shoulders as you see Snow and David reunite. Just then the curse starts to spread and Regina turns towards you and wraps you in a hug. 

“If we don’t arrive in the same place then I will find you, Y/n.” Regina tells you and then the curse sweeps over you and you black out.

Mafia Au (Heartslabyul)

⚠️ English is not my first language⚠️

The general information post is here

I FINALLY did it, now we only have... *looks at the first post* 15 more posts to write, great 😃👍

Enjoy (⁠~⁠￣⁠³⁠￣⁠)⁠~!

I want to clarify that Ramshackle‘s members have code names/aliases (because they want to be called like that, ex: Grim; they don’t have a name or it’s not known to the public, ex: Yuu; or they need to act as other people, ex: Ernesto, Gidel, Rollo and Stitch, who are hiding from their former organizations) but the rest of branches have both nicknames and code names, their nicknames are literally nicknames given by other people; and then code names, which are used for formal meetings, missions, etc.

Warning: I’m using the translator for all their code names, so it’s basically a word I chose for them but in another language.

Riddle Rosehearts: leader

Code name: Malaka (inside NRC/while doing missions) Regina (exchanging/buying information from EAH)

Known as “The Teapot” or ‘the red sovereign’ or ‘the queen of hearts’

Is someone who reigns his people with a fist of steel, his branch is known for the 810 rules they’ve to follow, that doesn’t mean everyone does so…

His parents are both from the bourgeoisie, his father, Alexander Hatt, is a doctor, but is not as prestigious as his ex-wife, is also the person who recommended Riddle to Crowley, in order to get him away from his toxic mother, Melissa Rosehearts, a famous doctor who feels disgust for people who don’t follow her rules and who thinks that her son died years ago in a car accident.

Although he’s someone strict and very short tempered who doesn’t let his members slack off, he has shown to deeply care about them, especially in the middle of a mission.

He doesn’t take days off, unless his father wants to visit him or he really needs a rest.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trey Clover: sub leader

Code name: Albarsim (inside NRC/while doing missions) Ristik (exchanging/buying information from EAH)

Known as ‘the Baker’ or ‘Heartslabyul’s mama’

His first nickname is only because he once ran out of bullets so he used a rolling pin to hit his victim, no more reason, he does bake a lot of things for his branch, and sometimes for other branch’s members, but that nickname never appeared until people heard he used a rolling pin as an arm.

His parents are owners of a famous patisserie, but the money is still not enough to send both of his younger siblings to a good and safe school, so he ended up looking for a job, even if it was a dirty one.

He prefers using food and drugs to kill his victims.

He’s something like the ‘older brother’ or the ‘mom’ in the branch, always cooking meals or looking after them.

He usually takes some days off to visit his family and give them some money, firstly because sending it means it could be stolen.

Cater calls him ‘Bakery’ because of the nice cake he has.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cater Diamond: member/leader's advisor

Code name: Adamas/Almas/Iaspis/Taemane ‘Tae’/Hira (He doesn’t care which one you use, it doesn’t matter if it’s in NRC or negotiating with EAH)

Known as ‘the one who somehow is everywhere’ or ‘phone-on-hand’

He calls himself ‘Cay-Cay’, but he doesn’t let anyone but close people (Riddle, Trey, Lilia, Kalim, Bellatrix), or people who he likes to annoy (Adeuce duo, Blondie, Idia) call him that.

He entered NRC in order to live away from his two annoying and over-nosy older sisters, however, he showed to have a lot of potential, making Riddle to appoint him as one of his advisors.

Though he’s good at completing tasks that involve handling of arms and physical coordination, he has shown a better performance when it comes to acting and handling information, making him one of the teachers of the branch, he teaches the new members about how to perfect their lying skills and something about information.

Rumors say that he once strangled someone because he couldn’t find his phone, it was in his back pocket, but alas, no one knows if that's true.

‘Phone-on-hand’ actually comes from his motto: “Phone on hand and don’t die out there!”

He takes as many days off as he can, normally to go to new trendy places or buy new things.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ace Trappola: member

Code name: Barie (inside NRC/while doing missions) Harten (exchanging/buying information from EAH)

Known as: ‘Braincell 1’, ‘orange-flimsy-boy’, ‘younger Trappola’, ‘the asshole from Heartslabyul’ and ‘the one who’s always with Deuce’

He only managed to pass the physical and intellectual tests (the two main tests you’ve to pass in order to enter the organization) thanks to his older brother, who already passed these exams and was excited to know that Ace also wanted to enter his same organization.

Though he has already made clear he wants to handle arms and physical missions, Riddle discovered the Trappola sibling’s trick made in the tests, instead of punishing him, he put him under Cater’s care, who teaches his “students” the art of deception and cheating, and probably something about information manipulation/management when he’s feeling nice.

He became frenemies with Deuce after Riddle made a comment about them.

Trey and Ace’s brother almost fist fought over who cared more about Ace.

Little did they know that Riddle was internally fighting against them too.

He tries to take days off, but everytime he does, his older brother already paid someone to prevent him from doing so; he believes that Trappolas shouldn’t take days off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deuce Spade: member

Code name: Sipadi (inside NRC/while doing missions) Kodal (exchanging/buying information from EAH)

Known as ‘Braincell 2’, ‘little punk’, ‘Cauldron Deuce’ and ‘the one who’s always with Ace’

He didn’t want to, he really didn’t want to.

But there he was.

Thanks to his mom and his own will, he managed to escape the criminal world, but that was right before ‘The Great Disaster’ happened, once it started, a mysterious man called ‘Crowley’ appeared in his life and offered him a job in his organization, that's when Deuce realized that there was no other way to earn great amounts of money for his mom and his grandma without dirtying his hands again.

Unlike Ace, who’s more of lying and deceiving, Deuce was appointed as Trey’s student, who makes his apprentices go through physical training (in reality he makes them bring flour bags, heavy boxes and more things from the shop to the kitchen, but meh, that still counts as training).

He is one of the dumbest yet fastest members in the organization, something that impressed a lot of the higher ranks, and of course, provoked the jealousy of a lot of other members.

He also has some type of problem with people who don’t respect eggs, so be cautious if you don’t want to receive a glare (or a punch) from him (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)

He takes some days off every two months to visit his mom (she still doesn’t know what her son's new job is)

Fun facts under the cut ⬇️

Fun facts!

The reason why I decided to give Cater more code names than the rest is because of his UM, he can make various copies of himself, so I gave him various code names.

I actually found funny if Trey were to use a rolling pin as an arm and after finishing the mission everyone would be like: woah, he used a fucking rolling pin, he’s like a baker, and his parents are professional bakers, we’re going to call him ‘the Baker’, wooow 😮 (I know I sound stupid right now, let me be)

Riddle’s father: Alexander Hatt, his name comes from a distortion, of ‘Alice’ (the male version, basically) and ‘Hatt’ comes from the ‘Mad Hatter’; because Riddle’s mom is something like the Queen of Hearts (I know Riddle is the representation of TQH, but his mother is worse, so), and then Alice and the Mad Hatter are like her principal enemies, so I found it a good mix.

For me, Trappola helping Trappola is canon, I’m 101% sure that Ace’s brother helped Ace in some way with his life, so why not write him as a good older brother who helps him to cheat to enter into a dangerous and evil organization?

As you can see, Ace already has quite the reputation.

Deuce past as delinquent is still very important here, i didn’t want to simply erase it or write him as someone proud of his past because now it’s necessary to earn a lot of money to survive, since that would mean that his relationship with his mother would be TOO different, it was nicer to write him like this.

New members still can't go to buy/exchange information with EAH, but they first give them the code names.

Adeuce’s friendship was obviously going to be the same as the game, their relationship is so beautiful for me ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

Both Trey and Cater are ‘teachers’ (along with more characters that will be revealed in the future), while most of the staff are ‘professors’, just to let you know guys.

And finally, not a fun fact, but likes, comments and reblogs are more than appreciated, thanks❤️!

[ouatsqincorrect]

do u have a headconanon for how henry would've reacted when he was old enough to understand the abuse regina had to endure bc of her forced marriage?

he’s about 16 when it just clicks one day and the minute it does, he’s pissed—maybe a bit at snow for spending most of her life clueless to it all, a bit at regina for never telling the full truth, at rumple for letting it happen, at the king and the unsettling fact that he’s related to him, at the world for tearing his mom apart again and again, at himself for calling her evil once or twice and not knowing the full story

suddenly, the last six years just make sense—actually, so much about his entire life with regina finally makes sense

henry isn’t clueless, he’s seen the way regina flinches when someone mentions the king, or the way it’s hard for her to get out of bed some mornings

by now, she’s been taking certain days off work and he’s always thought her excuse of “just needing a break” was a little weak because this is regina mills we’re talking about, and despite complaining about it pretty consistently, she actually does like her job as mayor

ultimately, it’s david who talks about it with him first—they’re spending the day together and henry’s never been that good at masking what he feels (david isn’t expecting the answer he gets when he asks what’s wrong but it’s also not that surprising—he was bound to find out at some point)

and david tells him this is something he needs to talk to regina about, she’s the only one who can tell her story and the only one who should be allowed to tell henry, of all people, about it

also, david advises him to be careful and patient, if regina doesn’t want to tell henry about what happened, she doesn’t have to

when he gets home that afternoon, henry (who is far too wise for his age after trips to neverland and camelot and a pit stop in the underworld) tells regina that he thinks he knows the truth, and that some day, when she’s ready, he’d like to know for sure

it doesn’t take long for regina to tell him that he’s right, that the marriage between her and the king wasn’t really a marriage at all and that she faced abuse during that time that no one should ever have to experience

she doesn’t tell him everything—after all, he’s still a child, but he can put the pieces together and understand, even if she refuses to use the actual words to describe what she went through

from that day on, on those days she stays home from work, he stops by granny’s on his way home from school and picks her up some sort of treat, and steers the conversation away from the king when someone in town had the audacity to mention him in front of regina

he’s still a kid, even if he has had to grow up fast, and emma and regina do everything they can to make sure he doesn’t have to share the burden of a past long gone

and he doesn’t feel like has to—but he is forever catious and actually a bit grateful for a better understanding of his mom
