Gamzee gamzee gamzee gamzee... how i can go on about Gamzee.  he knows too much, he was left alone for far too long, far too often.  so many times with Gamzee it seems that he could have stopped himself from doing the things he did by not hiding. stay out of the vents and talk to people, don’t run from people who want to snap you out of your murderfrenzy little clown. but then there’s the fact that that would make things end wrong. and the second he looks into cals eyes he knows that. he knows that on every level what he’s doing is required to get them the good ending and it’s a literal crime he’s not given enough diaouge to make that clear bc i think it’d be so interesting if we got to see him wax ‘poetic’ about how he needs to be doing what he’s doing weather it seems counterproductive or not.  because that’s what brings them to the end, and that’s what get’s them earth c. the fridge, i want to cry about the fridge.  Gamzee was shoved in there and bound to be thrown into the sea at the end of homestuck and when vriska mentioned those were her intentions i kept waiting for someone to object, for literally anyone to say something like ‘uhhh... that sounds a bit harsh...’ like the alpha kids had no idea who he was and were just like ‘mhm chuck that guy in the ocean sure no more questions’ Karkat was the bitter ex so he kinda gets a pass i guess kanaya never liked him so sure, but like... no one said anything, think about that.  the people he once called friends, that he’d known his whole wrigglerhood as far as we know just didn’t say anything. they didn’t express concern, they didn’t DO ANYTHING. WHY DIDN’T THEY DO ANYTHING EVEN WITHOUT THE ALTERED STATE/MINDCONTROL [i don’t think it was mind control save for the aradia stuff but the theory exsists] ARGUMENT WHY WERE THEY SO OK WITH HIM BEING LIKE THAT, WAS HE REALLY THAT TERRIBLE? WAS HE THAT MUCH MORE IRREDEMABLE THAN ANY OF THE OTHER ASSHOLES THAT HE WASN’T WORTH THE EFFORT OF SHOUTING AT? IT’S JUST ‘PSSHH HE’S A LOST CAUSE WHY BOTHER’ WHY IS HE A LOST CAUSE, WHAT DID HE DO THAT’S SO MUCH WORSE THAN ANYONE ELSE ON THAT GODDAMN LILLYPAD “he abused terezi” - VRISKA AND TAVROS. “He killed his friends tho” - VRISKA, TEREZI, EQUIUS, NEPETA ALL TRIED/SUCCEEDED IN DOING THE SAME
“he’s annoying“ - AND THE OTHERS ARENT???? this sad little clown got told his whole world was a story, that’d he’d be a villan, and that none of his friends would care that he betrayed them bc no one liked him to begin with. and we’re supposed to be suprised that Gamzee did bad things? that he didn’t care if his roll was to help out the villan so things could go the way they needed? assholes fuck with his head for years on end, and leading up to [s]:game over his first words out of forced mute mind control are “YoUrE hUrTiNg Me” I don’t understand how that doesn’t break everyone’s hearts, how the only emotions he ever expressed outside of the infunce of others were chill stoner, pain, and manic terror-filled rage.
how can you look at that character and not wish he got more hugs
and that the single one he got wasn’t retconned into not meaning anything.

Pairing: Aaron Hotchner x Fem!BAU!Reader
Summary: Your sister's wedding is approaching fast and the thought of showing your boyfriend off to you family and your ex-boyfriend seems like a very appealing idea. The only problem is... you don't have a boyfriend. Luckily your stony faced, serious, sexy boss has agreed to be your fake boyfriend for the weekend. What could possibly go wrong?
Word count: 4.6K
TW: Swearing, smut (unprotected sex, oral F! receiving) and bad writing?
A/N: A lot happens on this chpater but I hope its nice and smooth to read 😬 but we’re finally at the last chapter!!! I hope you’ve enjoyed it all. Like I said before, i plan to write a prologue and epiloge and still have two social media AUs to post! Thank you for all the love and support!
Tumblr media
You were stood with your ear pressed against the door in the hopes of hearing the conversation between Tom and Sarah. You were able to make out little snippets here and there when suddenly your mom came bounding over. “What’s going on?” She asked. “Sarah is meant to be walking down the aisle in five minutes.”
“Mom… shhhh.” You said turning to her. “Sarah is just… having a minute to calm her nerves.” You lied.
“Ok, well please tell her to hurry up, the guests are getting antsy! I’ll just go and get your father.�� And she walked off down the hall. As soon as she was out of sight, you pressed your ear back against the door.
“Tom, I just can’t tell you how sorry I am I never told you.” Sarah choked out.
“Look baby, I don’t care! It happened before we were together. I just needed a minute to process that you slept with Luke. I mean, I know he’s my friend and everything but Luke? Really?” Tom said with a slight jokiness.
“Do you still want to go ahead with this?” Sarah asked meekly.
“Hell yes, I do! But from this day forth, we tell each other everything ok?” Tom said. “If this marriage thing is gonna work honey, we need to be truthful.”
“Of course!” Sarah said, her tone a little cheerier.
“I actually think you should thank your sister.” Tom began and you could hear the eye roll in Sarah’s scoff. “I’m glad she got you to tell me actually. I’d much prefer to have heard it from you than Luke, we know his reputation for blurting things out.”
“I guess you’re right. I mean, I just told her she was a shitty sister when I’m the shitty one.” Sarah sighed and you triumphantly smiled to yourself. Sarah never admitted she was wrong so to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth, it was music to your ears. “I mean, what the hell was I thinking about sleeping with Luke in the first place? I think I was just desperate for your attention.”
“And it worked,” Tom replied. “Come on, let’s do this thing.”
You heard Tom’s footsteps towards the door and frantically scrambled away from your position where your ear has been pressed up against the wood. Tom opened the door and looked at you with a bright smile on his face, followed by a big thumbs up. He then made his way down the hallway, presumably to wait for your sister at the altar.
You cautiously walked towards your sister and knocked lightly at the door. Sarah hastily turned around and looked at you. She didn’t say a word, but you knew by the way she tilted her head, she was inviting you into the room. You slowly walked in and stopped a few steps in front of Sarah.
“So…” you started. “Is everything…” You didn’t know how to finish the sentence.
“Y/N.” Sarah cut you off. “I’m sorry. Utterly and completely sorry. Sorry for what I did, sorry for not telling you, just sorry for being a shitty sister.” “Thank you.” You replied. “I guess maybe I should apologise as well but I was hurt. I just couldn’t believe you kept it a secret from me for so long.”
“And I completely understand that Y/N! You don’t have to apologise.” Sarah said and you were shocked to hear the words leave her lips. Never did you think you’d be hearing Sarah take accountability for her actions while also justifying your own.
“How did Tom take the news?” you asked despite knowing.
“He was hurt I didn’t tell him sooner, of course he has every right to be upset about it.” Sarah started. “But he still wants to get married!” and you could hear the relief in her voice and a bright smile filled her face.
“You will still be my maid of honour, won’t you?” Sarah asked, worry wavering in her voice.
“Of course, I will Sarah.” You smiled. “You’re still my sister… despite the shitty things you may have done.”
“Thank you!” she exclaimed, pulling you in for a tight hug. “Thank you so much sissy.”
***
You found Aaron hovering outside the entrance to the hall the ceremony was about to take place. He was watching people fidgeting in their seats as they awaited the bride’s entrance.
“Hey!” you smiled as you reached him. Aaron turned around to face you and a smile grew on his face. Aaron was relieved to see you in a happier mood than a mere 30 minutes ago.
“Everything ok?” He asked.
“Everything is good. I actually received several apologies from Sarah. Something I never thought I’d hear to be honest.” You began. “Oh! And I guess it’s good news that the wedding is still going ahead.”
“That’s great then.” Aaron smiled and leaned down to place a soft kiss on his lips. “I’m glad you sorted everything but remember, you have every right to be upset with the situation.”
Your heart melted at his words, and you leaned up to peck another quick kiss on his lips.
“Thank you,” you whispered to him.
“I just want you to know, your feelings are valid and justified,” Aaron added.
“I know Aaron and I love you for being just so perfect.” You smiled brightly and a pink tint tinged the tips of Aaron’s ears. He wrapped his arms around your waist while yours slid up his arms to perch around his neck.
“I love you, Agent Hotchner.” You smiled.
“I love you too Agent Y/L/N.” Aaron replied placing his lips on yours once again in a searing kiss.
“What do you think you’re doing!” Your mom hissed through her teeth causing you and Aaron to hastily pull apart from each other.
“Aaron, go find your seat! Y/N, where is your bouquet?” Your mom frantically barked her orders. “Sarah is about to walk down the aisle. Quick get into positions!”
“I’ll see you soon.” You whispered to Aaron before he escorted your mom down the aisle to their seats.
Then, the excited bridesmaids began to clamber into the hallway, arranging themselves in the correct order and checking all their dresses were straight and their bouquets looked perfect. Next came Sarah, looking so flawless despite the chaotic last hour, with her arm firmly folded into your dad’s.
“Are we all ready?” Sarah asked excitedly and a wave of murmurs and excited whispers followed from the crowd of bridesmaids.
“Are you ready?” you asked Sarah and she nodded eagerly.
“I’m so ready!” Sarah replied.
You smiled at her and took your position, ready to walk down the aisle. The music started to play and off you went.
***
“More champagne?” Aaron asked, offering the bottle.
“Yes please.” You smiled, passing your glass to Aaron. He took it and filled it up perfectly with the bubbly beverage before handing the glass back to you.
“You looked so beautiful during the ceremony,” Aaron said to you as you took a sip from your champagne flute.
“Flattery will get you everywhere Mr Hotchner.” You laughed, placing a hand on his thigh.
Aaron placed his hand on top of yours and smiled at you before the two of you looked around the room at everyone as they finished their meals. Sarah and Tom were giggling away at their table at the front while Livvy was flirting with one of the groomsmen she had been put with for the ceremony.
“Everyone has finished their meals.” You groaned, burying your head into Aaron’s neck.
“Yes?...” He responded slightly confused.
“So it means it’ll be speeches soon and I cannot stand public speaking.” You sighed.
Aaron laughed which caused you to sit up and shoot him a glare.
“Why are you laughing?” You asked slightly annoyed. “This is my worst nightmare.”
“I’m not laughing at you.” Aaron replied. “It’s just funny that you can deliver a profile to police officers you’ve never met before but can’t make a speech in front of people you know.”
“Well, there’s a slight difference.” You said. “There are a lot more people here than at any police station.”
Aaron just chuckled as he placed a soft kiss on your temple. “You’ll be fine,” he murmured against your skin.
Suddenly, the sound of a knife being tapped against a glass caught everyone’s attention and every guest turned to face the bride and groom. Tom was stood up and pulled a paper from his suit pocket, unfolding it carefully before holding it out, ready to read his speech. One by one, everyone made their speeches, Tom, Sarah, your dad, Tom’s mom and Luke (whose speech was fortunately short, snappy and a little bit awkward) before it was your turn. Aaron squeezed your hand reassuringly as you stood up, everyone’s eyes shifting to you.
You cleared your throat before speaking. “Hi everyone. I hope you’ve all been enjoying yourselves so far. Don’t worry! I am the last speechmaker for the night so as soon as I’m done, you’re free to head to the bar.” You joked and a few laughs echoed around the room. You ran your hands down the front of your dress, your palms sweaty from nerves. “Sarah. I remember when we were younger, you would cut pictures out of mom’s magazines to design your own wedding in your scrapbook. They were always so big and extravagant with bright pink dresses and crazy venues like Disneyland. But I also remember the hours I spent tidying up all your paper scraps and rubbish,” You laughed and others joined in including Sarah. “You always knew exactly what you wanted and I guess I was jealous of you in that way. You had your life perfectly planned out while I was stuck deciding if I wanted to profile criminals or not, much to Mom’s dismay.” And this time your dad’s laugh caught your ears. “And I’ll be honest, I had been dreading your wedding, I really had! But now that I’m here, while we may have had our rocky patches over the last few days, you’ll always be my sister and I want you to be happy, I know you and Tom will have a very happy life together. To Tom and Sarah!” you said, raising your glass and everyone followed.
You immediately sat back down and released a breath.
“That was perfect,” Aaron muttered as you sat. “I think I saw Sarah wipe away some tears.”
“Phew, at least I didn’t fuck that up.” You replied and watched as the guests began to file through the doors to the dancefloor and bar. “Come on, let's go get a drink.”
***
The dance floor was heaving with everyone dancing as the DJ played a mixture of upbeat songs. You and Aaron stood and watched the chaos as you both sipped on a glass of scotch. He had his arm wrapped around your waist while your head rested against his shoulder. The several glasses of alcohol had now begun to go to your head.
“Thank you,” You said. “For agreeing to come with me. Never did I think that the things that happened over the last few days would have happened when you said you’d be my fake boyfriend.”
“I think, agreeing to be your fake boyfriend was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.” Aaron smiled. “Finally having the confidence to tell you how I really feel about you was something I never thought would happen.”
“We also had sex.” You said excitedly and Aaron chuckled to himself, amused by your tipsy revelations.
You were just about to speak again when one of your favourite songs began to play, echoing loudly around the room.
“Oh my god! I love this song.” You smiled brightly and Aaron melted at the sight of how happy you were. “Come on! Let's dance.”
You both put your glasses down on the bar before you dragged Aaron onto the busy dancefloor. You wrapped your arms around his neck while Aaron’s hands found your hips by instinct as you began to sway in time with the music together. You buried your head into Aaron's neck and your knees nearly buckled at the comforting smell of his cologne. Everything felt so perfect.
“How long do you think we have to stay here?” Aaron asked.
“Why? Have somewhere you want to be?” You questioned with a laugh.
“Yes I do,” he smirked. “And it involves you, a bed and no clothes.”
“I like the sound of that,” you smiled, leaning up and placing a kiss on his lips. “How about we stay for another hour and then I’m all yours?”
“Sounds perfect,” Aaron smiled. “I’ll just get us another drink.”
You nodded with a smile and watched as Aaron made his way through the sea of people on the dance floor and towards the bar.
A sweaty hand on your arm drew you from your thoughts and you turned to see Liv with a huge grin plastering her face.
“How has your night been?” She asked.
“Good!” You shouted so Liv could hear you over the music.
“I’m surprised Aaron hasn’t taken you home yet and ripped that dress off you.” She laughed and you rolled your eyes jokingly. “I’m currently trying to persuade Josh to invite me back to his hotel.” And she pointed over to the good-looking, blonde-haired man.
“I think his name is Greg.” You corrected her with a laugh.
“Whatever!” Liv laughed. “He’s hot and it's ritual for a bridesmaid to hook up with a groomsman.”
You laughed and shook your head.
“Here honey,” Aaron’s voice said from behind you and you turned to see him holding out a glass of white wine to you. You took it from him gratefully and Aaron looked over to Liv who was beside you. “Sorry Liv, I would have got you a drink as well,” Aaron said, and a warmth flared in your chest from just how sweet he is.
“Don’t worry about it Aaron,” Liv smiled and then she turned back to you. “Operation ‘hook up with Josh’ is in full swing.”
“Greg!” You corrected her again with a laugh.
“Greg… whatever!” Liv shrugged you off with a laugh as she headed back towards the blonde groomsman.
“What was that about?” Aaron laughed as he took a sip from his bottle of beer before wrapping his arm around your waist.
“Just Liv’s chosen target for the night.” You laughed in response and leaned your head on Aaron’s shoulder.
The night went on as you and Aaron found yourself comfortably seated at a table, drinking wine and sharing kisses every now and then. The dancefloor was still alive with people including your mom and dad as well as Livvy (who was far too busy kissing the groomsman, Greg). Sarah and Tom had cut the cake, which had been shared amongst all the guests before she tossed the bouquet which Tom’s little sister caught (much to her boyfriend’s hatred!).
You looked over to Aaron as he watched the room and leaned into his ear so he could hear you.
“Let’s get out of here,” you said and Aaron could practically hear the smirk in your voice. “We’ve stayed a lot longer than we said we would and now I’m desperate to get you alone.”
Aaron looked into your eyes with a desire that sent butterflies through your stomach.
“Come on,” he said, standing up and taking your hand. “Let’s get a cab.”
You quickly made your way around the room, bidding your farewells to Sarah and Tom, your mom and dad and of course Liv, who gave you a knowing wink as you pulled away from your hug with her.
Once comfortably situated inside a cab on your way home, Aaron had you pulled close to him, littering your neck with soft kisses and occasionally nipping your skin.
“If you keep this up, we’re going to get kicked out of the cab,” you giggled. “And I don’t particularly want to be walking home in these heels.”
“I’ll carry you,” Aaron mumbled between placing kisses down your neck towards your collarbone.
“I… like this side of you,” you breathed out as Aaron’s hand came to rest on your thigh, squeezing it gently. “But we’re nearly home and then I’ll be completely and utterly yours.”
Aaron simply nodded and buried his head in your neck where he stayed the rest of the journey home.
Aaron’s hands were on you the second you walked through the door. He squeezed your hips as his lips met yours in a bruising kiss before trailing down your neck, nipping lightly at your skin. Within seconds, Aaron had you pushed up against the wall, his head ducked down low as he placed sloppily kisses across your cleavage.
“So…. Desperate…” you muttered breathlessly.
“You are irresistible,” Aaron mumbled, lifting his head to look at your face. His gaze was intense and filled with lust and heat settled in the bottom of your abdomen.
“Upstairs?” Aaron suggested but it came out more as a demand.
“Yes Sir,” You replied and flashed him a teasing smile when you saw his eyes darken at the use of the professional name.
The two of you frantically made your way upstairs and headed straight for your bedroom. You slammed the door behind you and kicked off your heels while Aaron began to take off his suit jacket and loosened his tie. You made your way over to him and started to unbutton the crisp white shirt, your fingers delicately brushing over his skin. As soon as he was freed of the white fabric, you leaned up to kiss Aaron and as your lips met in a searing kiss, Aaron’s hands fiddled with the zip at the back of your dress before effortlessly pulling it all the way down. He pulled away from the kiss first, tugging lightly at the silky fabric of the dress to encourage it to slip off your body. Once you had your arms free of the straps, the fabric slipped smoothly down your body and pooled at your feet. Aaron’s breath hitched as he took in your appearance before his lips were back on yours and you could feel his growing erection pushing into you.
“I… I need you,” you managed to mutter between breathless kisses. Your underwear was practically soaking now, you needed Aaron inside of you immediately.
“Get on the bed,” he whispered against your lips in a commanding tone. You did as he instructed and laid on the bed. You looked back up at Aaron’s tall, dominating stance from where he stood looking down at you from the end of the bed. You bit your lip as you looked at the bulge straining against Aaron’s trousers, spreading your legs apart ever so slightly to show Aaron that you were ready for him.
Aaron got down onto his knees and pulled you closer towards him by your ankles. He started kissing gently up your legs, scattering small pecks here and there before he reached your thighs where he then started to nip lightly at the skin. You gasped out in shock at the sudden feeling of his teeth on your skin and were now very aware of how close Aaron was to your soaked pussy.
“A…Aaron,” you breathed out. “I need you…”
“Do you trust me?” Aaron asked from his position between your legs and you nodded quickly.
His fingers hooked under the fabric of your underwear and he began pulling them down your legs until you were completely free of the wet fabric. Aaron then returned to your centre and slowly slid two fingers inside of you.
“So wet already…” Aaron mused as he began to pump his fingers in and out of you gently.
You gasped at the pleasure and grasped at the bed sheets when Aaron’s thumb made contact with your clit. Then suddenly, Aaron ducked his head down and before you could ask what he was doing, his tongue swiped through your wet folds.
“Oh!” you gasped out as Aaron stayed buried between your thighs, his tongue circling around your clit. Your hand found its way into Aaron’s hair, grasping it between your fingers and pulling on it ever so gently.
The taste of your arousal on Aaron’s tongue was enough to push him over the edge as he traced his tongue back and forth through your folds, his tongue swirling and circling again and again around your clit, your hips bucking up slightly at the pleasure.
“You’re…. you’re really good at this,” you managed to whisper through your pleasure. No previous partner had ever gone down on you before, Aaron was opening your eyes to a whole new world of pleasure.
He hummed something from between your thighs and the vibrations that followed through your body were enough to tip you over the edge. Aaron kept teasing his tongue through your folds, his hands had a strong grip on your hips to keep you in place as he pushed his tongue hard around your clit.
“Aaron… I’m going to,” you couldn’t finish your sentence as the orgasm took over your body. The moans that left your throat motivated Aaron to keep teasing and circling your pussy as he began to taste all of you.
Once you came back to your senses, you pulled Aaron up so that he was hovering over you and wrapped your arms around his neck to pull him into a desperate, bruising kiss.
“That was… incredible.” You mumbled against his slightly swollen lips. “But now I need you inside of me.”
Aaron chuckled before looking into your eyes and muttering something along the lines of ‘so desperate’ as he pulled back from you and looked down at your naked body.
“Please Aaron…” you groaned as you sat up and impatiently reached for his belt, beginning to unbuckle it.
As soon as Aaron was rid of his trousers and boxers, he was hovering above you and placing kisses along your jaw and neck.
“Ready?” Aaron asked between kisses.
“Yes!” you replied desperately.
Aaron reached down and aligned his cock with your centre, rubbing the head through your wet folds a few times before he slowly pushed himself inside of you. You gasped at the sudden fullness and gripped Aaron’s shoulders, your nails digging into his skin.
“Ok?” Aaron asked and you nodded quickly.
Aaron then began rocking his hips against yours at a teasingly slow pace, nearly pulling out of you before he thrust his length back inside of your pussy.
“Harder.” You said in between your breathless moans and Aaron quickly obliged, his pace quickening as he began to fuck you hard.
“Been thinking about this…” Aaron grunted as he thrust into you. “All day.”
“Me too!” You replied and moaned loudly as Aaron fucked deeper into you, hitting the right stop.
Your moans, Aaron could listen to them all day – they were enough to push him tumbling over the edge, but he tried to restrain himself for as long as he could.
“Touch yourself,” Aaron instructed.
You did as he said and started circling your clit as Aaron’s thrusts began to become sloppy as he reached closer and closer to his own pleasure.
“Fuck!” Aaron hissed as he come inside of you. The sudden heat that filled you up was enough to then push you over the edge into blinding pleasure as Aaron rode out his orgasm.
“Oh! Aaron…” you moaned into his neck, your hands flying up to grip his shoulders as Aaron’s pace began to slow down.
Aaron was mindlessly twiddling his fingers through the ends of your hair as the two of you laid in each other's arms. Your body still tingled with Aaron’s touch and satisfaction flowed through your veins.
“Now all this wedding shit is over, I can finally thank you properly for agreeing to come with me.” You said as you snuggled closer into Aaron’s chest.
“You’ve been thanking me all weekend honey,” Aaron replied and placed a kiss on the top of your head. “Again, if I hadn’t agreed to come with you, I’d still be silently pinning for you from my office.”
“If you hadn’t come, I don’t think I’d have been able to make it through the week without committing murder.” You laughed and sat up to look at him. “And of course, I would never have had the opportunity to tell you how I’ve been madly in love with you since the day I joined the BAU.”
“I love you so much,” Aaron smiled, sitting up slightly so he was now elevated on his arm.
“I love you too.” You smiled brightly and leaned down to capture Aaron’s lips in a quick, chaste kiss. “You have been the best fake boyfriend ever.”
Aaron let out a hearty laugh before looking back at you with nothing but complete adoration in his eyes that made you feel butterflies in your stomach.
“I hope I’m not being too bold to assume that my title has been upgraded?” He asked with an anxious smile.
“Aaron Hotchner is this your attempt to ask me to be your girlfriend?” you laughed and a red tint tinged the tips of Aaron’s ears.
“Well…” Aaron couldn’t find the words.
You laughed loudly before throwing your arms around his neck and peppering his cheek and jawline with kisses.
“I’d love nothing more than to be officially known as your girlfriend.” You smiled and Aaron leaned up to place a bruising kiss on your lips. “You’re now my go-to wedding date.” You smiled brightly and Aaron chuckled.
***
One year later
A knock on his office door drew Aaron from his thoughts. He put down the file he had been looking at and turned to face the door where you were standing.
“Agent Y/L/N,” Aaron said in his ‘professional’ voice. “Come in.”
You walked into the office and shut the door behind you as you produced a pink envelope which Aaron rose an eyebrow at.
“What’s that?” He asked curiously.
“So, big news.” You began, a wide smile spreading across your face. “Livvy’s and Greg’s wedding invitation has just been delivered!”
“Brilliant,” Aaron replied in a monotonous tone, his eyes had drifted back to the file he had previously been reading.
“Aaron! This is important!” You scold him as you sit yourself down on the chair across from his desk.
“Sorry sweetheart, I’m listening. Liv’s wedding invitation, yes?”
“Yes! It’s in 3 months' time. 25th September in LA of course.” You smiled, sliding the invitation across the desk for Aaron to read.
“Is this your way of asking for the time off?” He asked, a teasing look in his eyes.
“you’re so funny…” you rolled your eyes. “I thought you’d know by now baby, you’re always my go-to wedding date remember.”
“Of course! How could I forget.” Aaron replied sarcastically but with a small smile on his lips. “Luckily this time, we won’t have to pretend we’re dating.”
You laughed as you took the invitation back from Aaron. “That’s very true!” Aaron stood up as he walked you to the door of his office.
“So save the date Hotchner, 25th September you’re coming back to LA with me. Back to see my psychotic family.”
“I wouldn’t have it any other way Y/L/N.” Aaron chuckled and leaned in to place a soft kiss on your lips.
“Not very appropriate workplace behaviour Sir,” You teased him.
“It’s a good thing my blinds are closed then,” Aaron smirked and ducked his head down to place another searing kiss on your lips.

Series Masterlist | Navigation
Tumblr media
You sat at your desk, phone set up for a video call with Seonghwa. You felt nervous. Tomorrow is your graduation, where you'll finally be done with this aspect of your life and will be moving onto the next step. Despite the distance, you and Seonghwa were as close as ever. You both missed each other dearly but talked as frequently as possible. 
You were a little sad that he and the rest of Ateez couldn't make it to your graduation, but you understood why. You didn't have much hope when you told Hongjoong the date and he told you he'd ask if they could. You tried to tell him not to ask since you knew they would be busy with an upcoming comeback, but he insisted he'd try. He talked to you the next night saying they had a packed schedule for that week and couldn't. You figured as much but it still made you a little sad.
You hear the tone for the video call and you quickly answer it with a smile. You see Hwa sitting there, but not in his room. You couldn't quite figure out where he was. He seemed to be wearing a loose sweater and a pair of glasses frames.
"Hello, jagiya." Seonghwa smiled sweetly, he seemed tired.
"Hello, love." You respond. "How are you? You seem a little tired."
"The week has been busy."
"Aw, I'm sorry. Are you currently at a schedule?" You tilt your head. You see him look off to the side. You can see that he seems to be hiding something, but you figure it was because he couldn't talk about anything specific related to any of the filmed comeback videos.
"Yeah, we are staying at a hotel. We are going to start filming soon." He sighs. "It was a last minute decision since filming took longer than expected yesterday. I wish I could tell you everything that went wrong but I can't."
"I'm sure it'll go better today, love."
 "Thank you, jagiya. But enough about me, jagiya, how are you? Are you excited for tomorrow?"
"A mix of excited and nervous. Excited to have my degree... nervous for whatever comes next. Nervous about walking across that stage to get that empty diploma case and not having a solid next thing waiting for me." You press your lips together and glance over to your cap and gown hanging in your open closet. The whole ordeal almost seems daunting now. "I've applied for jobs in my field but I haven't heard anything back... I doubt any will get back to me when I am fresh out of university."
"I wish I was there with you, (Y/N)." He looked into the camera with a concerned expression. "You'll exceed at whatever you do. I know you will. You are smart and very determined."
"It's probably just all the nerves." You chuckle weakly.
"Just know myself and the others are cheering for you, even if we can't be there. Which, we are still sorry for by the way."
"Don't worry about it. I'll have my family film my walk across the stage and we will take lots of pictures to send to you all."
"We look forward to it." He smiles. You hear a door opening and what you believe to be Hongjoong's voice. You couldn't make out what he said but you saw Seonghwa nod before hearing the door close. "Sorry, (Y/N), I have to go. We need to get ready for filming today."
"Don't apologize, love. You got this. I'm sure you will do great." You smile and you can just tell some of the stress he was feeling dissipate. 
"I love you, jagiya." He says softly.
"I love you too." There is some hesitancy to hang up but you bit the bullet and pressed the little red button on the call. You sigh, but feel lighter. It was like talking to Hwa helped calm your worries.
---
You stood with your family for a moment before you needed to join the rest of the graduating students. You stood with them in your cap and gown and a nice outfit underneath. You couldn't help but wring your hands together. You weren't necessarily nervous, but you did feel a little anxious from the excitement now. You felt you childhood best friend place their hand on your shoulder and they give you a calm smile.
"It's going to be fine, (Y/N)." They gently squeezed your shoulder. "I doubt you'll trip, so don't worry."
"Well I wasn't worried about tripping until now." You groan. "I'm not nervous. I just... can't stay still."
"Oh (Y/N), it's okay to be nervous." Your mother coos, rubbing small circles into your upper back. "Just think about the surprise we have planned for you."
"Surprise?"
"Hun, you weren't suppose to mention that." Your father chuckles. 
"I thought I told you all I needed was just a nice dinner at my favorite restaurant." You say softly. "I hope you didn't spend too much-"
"Don't worry about it. We wanted to get you something for such a big day." Your father grinned. You were going to argue back but heard the call for graduating students to start getting in place for the ceremony.
"Make sure to film my walk please!" You said and they nodded. Your family and your best friend gives you one last hug before you go to where you were supposed to, while they went off to grab seats.
You take a deep breath as you find your spot in line with the rest of your majors getting the same degree level as you and your roommate, who also was graduating alongside you. You smiled at some of your classmates you were friendly with and chatted with them. You were given a slip of paper with your name on it by one of your professors and you were left to wait for the ceremony to start. 
You felt your phone buzz under your gown. You were glad you picked something to wear underneath with pockets. You manage to get your phone out and you smile. All of Ateez were wishing you well and saying their congrats. San even sent a selfie of them all together, which they said was taken after they finished filming. You were glad they messaged you and made sure to tell them to get some rest since it was around 6am for them.
The line you were in started moving so you quickly put your phone away and started walking with your line. You can hear lots of chatter from other graduating students and could hear the chatter from people in the stands. You and the others stood still until you heard one of the deans call you guys to enter. You hear the crowd cheer as the graduating class enters the area. You tried to pinpoint your family and your best friend but had no luck finding them in the sea of people. You take your seat and wait for the rest of the graduate students to also take their seats as the stereotypical graduation march song plays.
The song ended when everyone was finished sitting down. Next were speeches by the college president, a provosts, and a dean whom you never personally interacted with, and then two professors spoke; one is the chair of your major which made you smile. Next were student speeches, neither person you recognized.
You gulp, watching as the rows ahead of you go up one by one as they were instructed by a professor to do so. There was the constant noise of clapping with each name, followed by a few people loudly cheering for whoever just got called. You clapped along as well, watching each person receive their diploma case from the college president and walk to the side to get their picture taken professionally.
Next thing you knew the people in your row started to stand. You quickly got to your feet and follow along to the stage. You wait, taking small steps as person by person hands over their name slip and walk the stage. You were getting closer and closer to the speakers stand.
Then, it's your turn.
You made conscious steps to the speaker, not wanting to trip. You hand them your name card and wait as the person ahead finished crossing the stage. The speaker smiled and read your name into the microphone. You start walking across stage to the president as the crowd clapped.
You hear loud cheers coming from the stand on the other side of the stage, more than what you were expecting from the three people there seeing you graduate. You finally see your parents and your best friend up on their feet, your dad and friend shouting loudly. But in the row in front of them, you see eight figures also on their feet shouting as loud as they can. Immediately you can tell it is Ateez. Even with face masks, different hats, and inconspicuous clothes, you could tell they were your boys. Plus, you can easily tell Wooyoung and Mingi's voices as they were the loudest and most distinct.
A large smile broke out on your face as you kept your tears at bay. You walked the stage with your head held high. You shook hands with the college president and took hold of the diploma case. You walked to the end of the stage and carefully took the steps down. You got your picture taken and you started walking back to your seat.
You look up at the stand when you heard your name shouted repeatedly by Wooyoung, San, and Seonghwa. Each member of Ateez waved as you walked by and you made sure to wave back. You felt pure happiness in the moment.
---
When the ceremony ended and all the graduates exited the way they walked in, you immediately started making your way outside. Your parents texted saying they were waiting for you by the large oak tree. You weave your way through the sea of students and their families as fast as you could. You could see the top of the tree but you knew the trunk was still some distance away from where the ceremony was held. 
You finally breach the crowd and see your parents, your best friend, and Ateez, along with their manager. They spotted you and called your name. You immediately quickened your pace.
Wooyoung held out his arms for a hug but you passed him and immediately clung to Seonghwa. The tears you held back immediately fell as you hugged him.
"Y-You're here! I can't believe you're here! Hongjoong said you guys were busy. You said you-" You rapidly spoke.
"Slow down, jagiya." Seonghwa chuckles. He held you tightly and rubbed your back. 
"Sorry, my love." You sniffle and look to his face. Despite the black mask covering his nose down to his jaw, you can tell he has a big grin on his face. He moves a step back from you, resting his hands on your jaw. The pads of his thumbs swipe away your tears gently. "I'm so happy to see you in person again."
"I'm happy too." He carefully guided you to turn around so he could move back in front of you, his back to the crowd. He pulls down his mask and leans in, his soft lips meet yours in a loving kiss. You couldn't help but smile against his lips as it felt like world around each of you melted away. You both slowly pulled away but kept your faces close. "Congratulations. I am so proud of you, (Y/N)." He whispers and kisses each cheek, making you giggled. 
"Congratulations, (Y/N)!" Wooyoung broke the moment of peace between you both as he pulled you into a big hug. You tilt your head back and laugh, all while there rest of Ateez swarmed you for their own hugs. Your face ached from how much you were smiling.
"Seonghwa contacted us a week after you had us do that video call with him." Your mother started to explain. You remember that day well, feeling nervous for your parents to meet your long distance, idol boyfriend. But they immediately loved him and exchanged contact information; mostly just in case you got in an emergency so they could inform him. Subsequently, of course, your parents met the rest of Ateez. "They wanted to surprise you and here they are."
"Sorry I lied to you, (Y/N)." Hongjoong laughed, his smile telling you he was anything but apologetic. "Yuhno suggested the idea of it being a surprise when I ran into him before I talked it over with our company. So really, blame him."
"Hey, you could of said no, Joong-hyung." Yuhno playfully glared then set his sights on Seonghwa. "Didn't you initiate the call with her parents?"
"Yes, but Sannie and Woo also sat in on the call too." Seonghwa shot back. The group delved into a big, non-serious argument of who is to blame for the lies. You shook your head with a chuckle and went to your parents.
"Thank you for arranging this." You hug them both tightly.
"Of course, (Y/N). We could see how happy you were when we met him and how yourself you were with the rest of the group, so we knew we had to put this together for you somehow." Your father had a big smile on his face, you could see tears in his eyes. "Oh, my child is all grown up..."
"I've been grown up, dad. Don't cry, you're going to make me cry again." You chuckle, feeling that sting of tears again in your eyes. You feel arms wrap around you from behind and you knew immediately it is Seonghwa. "Did you guys settle who's fault it is, love?"
"No, but it seems everyone puts the blame back on Hongjoong." He laughs. He smiles at your parents and gives them a polite bow of his head. The rest of Ateez joined back up with your parents and your best friend. They started discussing dinner plans, you jumping in when needed for translation help.
Your smile doesn't leave your face as you lean back into Seonghwa. You could have just cheap take out with everyone and you'd be happy.
---
You said goodbye to your parents and best friend when everyone arrived back at your apartment after dinner. They wanted to let you have some time alone with Ateez. Your parents managed to reserve a private space at a great restaurant ran by a friend of your mother's. The manager went to buy snacks and drinks for the rest of you guys for tonight at a near by convenience store.
"Wow you have a nice place, (Y/N)." Yeosang compliments as he looks at the various decorations and how you and your roommate placed the minimal furniture.
"Thanks, it was a collaborative effort with my roomie. Which, be as loud as you guys want. She won't be in for a few nights since she'll be staying with her family." You smile and turn go to put leftovers from dinner in the fridge, missing the way everyone looked towards Seonghwa. "How long are you here for?"
"Just the rest of tonight. We fly back early in the morning tomorrow. We may have pulled this off but we still have busy schedules coming up." Jongho answers.
"Sorry we can't stay longer." San sighs with an apologetic smile.
"No worries, I'm happy you guys made it for today." You grin and move to sit next to Hwa on the couch, immediately leaning against him. "So I take it you guys flew in last night? Is that why you were actually in a hotel, love?"
He chuckles and nods, wrapping his arm around your shoulders. His fingers gently traced patterns on your arm. "I'm glad we got to witness this."
"Of course, I'd do the same for you guys."
"Well, if you would..." Mingi smiles as he walks in front of you, holding out several small pieces of paper for you. You gingerly take them, and look at everyone with confusion and curiosity as they surrounded the couch. Wooyoung took his spot next to you and rested his chin on your shoulder, aka, on Seonghwa's hand.
"Oh my God." You gasp as you look at each paper. They chuckled at your shock. There were several plane tickets; one to South Korea, a round trip ticket to Japan and then back to Korea, and then one back home. The next paper was a pass for the waterbomb festival coming up.
"We will email you the actual virtual tickets soon." Wooyoung said with a big grin.
"A graduation present from us and our manager." Seonghwa kissed your temple.
"This had to be so expensive..."
"Don't worry about it at all. We didn't have to pay for the waterbomb ticket and we all chipped in for the flights." Yuhno said softly from behind the couch. You felt his hand pat the top of your head a few times. There was a knock at the door and the tallest went to open the door for their manager,  who came in with two, black plastic bags and one backpack. You quickly got up to your feet and approached him with a smile.
"Thank you for all you have done."
"I should thank you for helping me keep them in line." He chuckles and hands you the plastic bags. He walks over to the couch and sets the backpack at Seonghwa's feet. "Remember, we have a flight back to Korea tomorrow. Don't drink too much. (Y/N), drink all you want."
Some time passed and everyone was lounging around in the living room of your apartment. Mingi, San, and Wooyoung took over the couch. Jongho, Yuhno, Yeosang, and their manager sat in chairs from the small kitchen table. You, Seonghwa, and Hongjoong were sitting on the floor, all while everyone watched a trashy, American reality show. You were sitting between Hwa's legs with your back against his chest while he rested against San's legs.
You felt your phone buzz in your pocket. You fish it out and unlock it, seeing it was an email notification. You tapped the notification, though you didn't read what it was for, figuring it was a promotional thing or something. You looked up at the tv screen for a moment before taking a moment to read over the contents of the email.
Your eyes slowly widened with each line you read. You felt your heart flutter as you sit up straight. You felt Seonghwa's hands on your hips and he had a curious look on his face.
"(Y/N)? What's wrong?" He asks softly, trying not to draw everyones attention. He leans forward and you can feel his chest on your back again, his chin on your shoulder. You raise your phone screen up so he can have an easier time reading the email. You turn your head just enough to see his expression turn to one of shock. You felt him wrap his arms around your waist and hold you tight as a big smile broke out on his face. "Does... Does this mean...?"
"What's happening?" Sannie asked from the couch. He leaned forward as well and you pass him your phone. You can practically feel the excitement oozing from Seonghwa. San suddenly stood up, knocking into the eldest's back. He had a huge grin, his dimple prominent on his face. 
Wooyoung snatched your phone from San and you watched as his eyes scan over the screen. He then looks up at you with a big smile. "No way!"
"Care to share with the rest of us?" Mingi asked while Yeosang muted the channel. 
"Well-" San started to speak but then clasps his own hand over his mouth for a moment. He hands you back your phone and sits back down. He eagerly gestures for you to speak. You feel Hwa's hands gently squeeze your hips.
"A job I applied for contacted me and told me they were looking for fresh faces and say they see potential with my resume, my CV, and from my letters of recommendation." You beamed and everyone looked excited for you. A sea of congratulations soon followed. You kept your beaming expression and you see Hongjoong look at you.
"There is more, isn't there?" He asked, a smile growing on his face.
"The job is located in Seoul. And they are allowing me to start towards the end of the year to give me time to get my legal documents situated and to move." 
There was a moment of silence.
Then, your apartment became chaos with pure excitement. Seonghwa, Wooyoung and San already pledged themselves to help you find a place in your upcoming visit. Mingi and Yuhno express excitement for the prospect of staying over at your new place. Yeosang, Jongho, and Hongjoong already start to make plans for when you start living there. Everyone decides to have one more drink to celebrate, their manager unable to say no to such an occasion.
---
You give each member a hug as they are about to leave for the night, saying your goodbyes. You move to hug Seonghwa but he sidesteps you and moves to stand behind you. You give him a confused look while the others chuckle.
"I'm staying with you tonight, jagiya." He pecked your cheek. The others say goodnight, their manager telling him to be read by 7am, and they all quickly leave. Now, it's just you and Seonghwa. 
"That's why he brought a backpack for you." You laugh and turn to face him. You place your hands on the back of his neck and raise a brow. "You've been nothing but surprises today. I really do appreciate it." 
"Of course. I'd do just about anything for you." He smiles sweetly and leans in to kiss you. Unlike the other kisses you two shared today, this one was longer and more passionate. You can feel his lips move against yours as he swipes his tongue along your bottom lip. You smile against the kiss. Before you could part your lips, he pulls away with a flirtatious look. 
"I love you, love." He smiles at your words. He lifts his hand up and gently traces his fingers down the side of your face, sending shivers down your spine. His arms wrap around your body and he keeps you pressed against him.
"I love you too, jagiya." He brings you into another intense kiss, his tongue invading your mouth this time. You feel his fingers curl in against your back, all while your hands find themselves in his hair. He breaks the kiss once more but rests his forehead against yours. "Would you like to celebrate a little more? We don't have to go further than this-"
"I would love to." You grin. You move from Seonghwa's grasp and take his hand, pulling him to your bedroom.
The second you closed the door, Hwa is already guiding you to your bed. He lays you down on your back while he crawls over you, his lips pressed against yours. His hands grip your hips before he starts to slide them under your shirt. He shifts his leg, placing it between your thighs. His knee is just barely brushes against your core. His hands start to gently kneed your breasts over your bra.
Seonghwa starts to trail tender kisses down from your mouth to your neck. You smile at the affection and you place a kiss of your own on the top of his head. He smirked against your neck as he gently bites your skin. You feel him shift his leg that was between your legs, applying a small amount of pressure against your cunt. You let out a soft noise from the sensation and you can feel yourself growing wetter and wetter.
You move one your hands down to the growing bulge in his pants. Seonghwa chuckled and sat up, taking your hand off him.
"Tonight is all about you, jagiya." He smiled softly. He took hold of both your wrists in his hand and held them above your head. "Let me worship you."
You felt a pleasant shiver down your spine again and you nod. Hwa let go of your hands and began kissing your neck again. This time his kisses and bites to your neck were more intense. You knew for sure you would have a couple of marks there. He released his hold on your wrists but you kept your arms about head. Your body is completely at his mercy and that had you excited.
You felt him press his leg against your aching core again and this time you rolled your hips to seek pleasure, causing yourself to moan.
"Good, jagiya." Seonghwa chuckles as he moves his face by your ear. You feel his lips brush against your ear before he gently nips it. He sat up and helped you up as well.
He hums softly, tracing his nose along your face before he kisses you again. He gently nibbles your bottom lip and stares deeply into your eyes. Hwa licks his lips as he leans down and scans your body with his eyes. You feel his hand take hold of your shirt and slowly lift it up and off your body. His fingers nimbly unclasps your bra and he tosses it off your body. 
Seonghwa's hands caress and gently squeeze your breasts, the pads of his thumbs were on your nipples as he rubbed small circles with them.  He hummed with a smile. "I missed these."
You chuckle softly. "You missed my boobs?"
"Yes." He moves himself so his face his close to them. "I missed all off you, (Y/N). I missed your face, your touch, your taste... I missed seeing your smile in person, I missed hearing your laugh right beside me. I miss you."
"I miss you too Hwa." You give his cheek a tender peck. You bite your bottom lip as his hands still kneaded your breasts and his thumbs applied some pressure. "Luckily I got that job. I'll be a lot closer to you by next year."
"Still feels so far away." He whispers and starts kissing your chest. He bites the skin and sucks, doing this until he reached your nipples. His mouth encompasses the pebbled skin. You bring one of your hands up to his head and combed your fingers through his hair. He sucks and gently nibbles, his tongue rolling over your perked bud. He does this to both nipples for a few moments before pulling away, a line of saliva briefly hangs between his lips and your skin. "I want to try something, jagiya." 
"What do you want to try, love?"
"Would you want to sit on my face and let me pleasure you?" His question makes your face flush with heat. 
"You'd want to do that? Are-Are you sure you want me to sit on your face?" You can feel yourself getting more wet by the second.
"Of course." He smiles sweetly. He sits up straight so he can meet your eyes easily, his hands slide down and gently hold onto your hips. "Like I said, jagiya, I missed your taste and I think you will look breathtaking doing so... Do you want to try this out with me?"
"Then... I would like to." You bite your bottom lip and smile. His face broke out in a grin and he helped you off your lap. He moves to lay down as you slip off your pants and underwear. You move yourself up the bed near his head and carefully placed your leg on the other side of his head. His hands slid up from behind your thighs and your ass to hold your hips. You hovered over his face, looking down at him between your legs. You were a bit hesitant to lower yourself down though. "Are you sure-"
You didn't even get to finish your question when you felt Seonghwa pull you down to his mouth. Immediately his tongue went to work against you clit. You moan, one hand bracing yourself against the wall while you bury the fingers of the other in his dark hair. A vibrator certainly worked wonders, but there is something else about his tongue. He moved his up and down against your clit before moving it in circles clockwise.
"Hwa..." You say, almost sounding breathless. He simply hums and continues his ministrations with his tongue. He nuzzles his faces against your cunt and adjust his mouth so he could lap you up. Seonghwa's tongue briefly pushes against your clit and then you feel his lips wrap around your sensitive bud, gently sucking on it. Instinctively you bite your lip to hold back your moan, making him lightly slap your ass, not enough to hurt but to get a point across. He lifts you just enough to free his mouth so he could speak.
"You said your roommate is gone for the night?" He asks and you give him a quick 'yes.' You felt his lips curl into a smile. "Then don't hold back, jagiya. It's just us."
You feel his tongue move against you again in all the right ways, making you moan again. You didn't hold it back this time and you could tell Hwa is pleased with that. He shifted underneath you and he buries his face into your cunt, he continued to gently suck and swirl his tongue around your clit. His ministrations had you squirming, slowly rocking your hips against him, and you were making all sorts of noises. 
"Seonghwa..." You whimper. You speaking his name in such a manner had him groan in pleasure. You feel him shift yet again, his grip on your hips firm. His tongue is off your clit and you feel his tongue swirl around your entrance. He penetrates you and thrusts with his tongue while his nose brushed against your swollen bud. His mouth is working wonders on your and you can feel yourself getting closer to an orgasm. Hwa doesn't relent, keeping the pleasure going and keeping you relatively still with his hands holding onto your hips. "Fuck... Hwa I'm-!"
Your walls fluttered around his tongue. You feel your thigh muscles tighten and they press against his head. A loud noise of pleasure leaves your lips as you throw your head back. Hwa squeezes and lightly massages your hips as you climax, his tongue slowly slides out from your hole and gently licks your cunt. He waits a few moments before gently guiding you off his face. You lift a leg and sit next to his head, your back against your headboard. 
Seonghwa quickly got up, licking his lips clean of your juices though his chin and nose still shined with your climax. He sits next to you and his hands caress your legs. He smiles at you, a look of satisfaction on his face, while you came down from your orgasm. 
"You have a little something on your face." You giggle and gesture around your own chin and nose. He chuckles and you watch as he swipes his fingers over his skin and then lick them clean.
"Better?" He whispers with a slight smirk. You can tell he was trying to be sexy but he still had some of your cum on him. You giggle softly making him blush and chuckle.
"Here, hold on for a moment." You get up from the bed and head out of your room to your bathroom. You grabbed a clean wash cloth, dampened it with some water, and returned to your bedroom. You hand Seonghwa the cloth and he gives you an appreciative smile, his cheeks and ears dusted with a subtle pink. You sit back down as he cleans off his face. He sets the cloth on your nightstand and looks back at you.
You watch as Seonghwa gets off the bed. His eyes scan your body with a smirk. Slowly, he took off his shirt and slid off his pants and boxers. Both of you were completely nude and you can see just how turned on he is. Hwa gets back onto your bed and gets right up to you, his face mere inches from yours.
"I love you so much, (Y/N)." He whispers. His hand comes up and gently caresses your jaw and neck.
"I love you too, Seonghwa." You smile at him, your tone soft and full of love. He smiles back and presses his lips against yours. His kiss is tender this time around. His hand cradles the back of your head to keep you in place, but you know you don't want to pull away in this moment. Your fingers graze the skin of his bare chest. You slowly brought them up to his collarbones and then his neck.
"Hmm, I want to take this all the way, jagiya." He pauses for a moment as his eyes look down at your body and then back at your face. He smirks. "I want to hear all those lovely noises you make."
"If I get to ride you, my love." You say in a sensual tone. His smirk crumbles to a flustered look at your suggestion, but he still smiles regardless.
"Is that what you want?"
"Yes." You nod and he bites his bottom lip. Seonghwa moves and sits down, his back against the headboard now. You grin, moving to stand on your legs before you throw your leg over his lap, effectively straddling him. His hands are once again on your hips as he pulls your body against his. He has a lustful and excited smile on his face.
"Condoms? I brought some-"
"No, it's fine. I trust you and I'm still taking birth control." You smile.
You reach behind and grab the shaft of Seonghwa's cock. You carefully drag his tip through your wet folds to tease him a little. You line him up to your entrance and look at his face. He gives a small nod for you to continue and you do so. You slowly lower yourself down, languidly taking him inside you. You both let out a soft moans. You sat in his lap, your hands grip his shoulders, while his cock fully inside you and you take a moment to savor the feeling.
"Ah, you feel so good, jagiya." Seonghwa mumbles, his lips barely brush against yours. You can feel his hot breath but you didn't care. His eyes were half-closed as he stared deeply into yours. You can feel his hands caressing your hips, thighs, and ass. His length twitches inside and you can tell he is full of anticipation for you to start moving. Hwa gives you a sweet smile, which contrasts with the current, steamy situation. "Take your time. You have control right now until you want me to take over."
"Thank you, love." You whisper softy and peck his lips. You wait a full two minutes before you started moving. You take a slow and steady pace, your thigh muscles flexing as you raise yourself up and down on his cock. Seonghwa's hands firmly held your hips yet he made no effort to control your movements, he simply assisted you so you wouldn't be doing all the work. 
"This feels nice." Hwa murmurs and leans his head down, his lips pressing against your neck. You feel his teeth graze your skin and he gently nips at your neck.
"Feels s'good." You moan softly. You rock your hips at a pleasurable pace. It is a very sensual moment between you both. It was just you and him, nothing else mattered. He raised his head from your neck and pressed his forehead against yours. He looked at you with pure adoration and love. His hands slide to your lower back and then moved up to your shoulder blades. You feel his arms against your sides as he hugged you close to his chest. You still moved your hips at a slow pace. 
This is a moment of passion and pleasure, but also a moment of love and bliss.
You sunk all the way down on him and gently grind your hips against him, feeling pleasure come from your clit grazing his pubic mound. Seonghwa smiles at you, enjoying how you look getting yourself off on him. He kiss your cheek and his lips linger to you skin for a few moments. You feel his fingertips press into your back and rub small circles on your skin.
You returned to moving yourself up and down on his cock. You increased your speed, sometimes focusing on his tip and then rotating to taking him all the way. Regardless  of what you did, he was moaning and groaning at all your movements. His hands were back on your hips as you leaned away from him with your hands gripping his shoulders. You both wanted to see your faces.
You feel a coil-like sensation in your lower stomach as pleasure builds up again. Your breathing is harsh and deep, and you can feel your legs getting tired... but you wanted to keep going. Seonghwa could see and feel how you your stamina is waning. He smiles sweetly and leans forward to capture your lips in a passionate yet short kiss.
"Relax, jagiya." His voice is smooth and low. He holds your hips and stops your movements. Seonghwa then starts to thrust his hips up at a quick pace. A loud moan escapes your lips as you cling on to him. He leaned forward and nibbles on your neck while you feel one of his hands move from your hip to your pubic mound. Hwa pressed his thumb over your swollen clit and started rubbing circles.
"O-Oh, Hwa..." You whimper out. You feel that heat building up more and more inside you.
"Hng- You're amazing, (Y/N)."He moaned as well, moving his head away from your neck to stare at your face. You can see he was getting close to his own release by the erotic expression on his face. 
"I-I think... I'm going to cum again." You whisper, feeling that all too familiar feeling crawl up your legs. You looked at him with all the love you could muster. The intimacy and intense feelings all added to your impending orgasm. The way the head of his cock hit that sweet spot inside you just right and his thumb swirling and applying the correct amount pressure sent you over the edge. You lean forward with your forehead against his as a loud whine leaves your mouth, your walls fluttering around his cock.
"(Y/N)-!" He groaned, still thrusting into your cunt. He stared intensely into your eyes, chasing his own climax. His breathing grows ragged and his thrusts became off rhythm. A moan tumbles from his lips as he sloppily kisses you, thrusting one last time. You feel his cock twitch inside you as his cum coats your walls. He keeps himself fully sheathed inside you as you both catch your breaths.
"Seonghwa..." You murmur, your body slumping against his, resting your head on his shoulder. His arms wrap around you and his hands gently grip the skin of your back. You feel his warm breath fan over the back of your neck as he leveled out his breathing. Seonghwa made a noise that sounded like a mix of a sigh and a moan as he rests his head against yours.
Neither of you said anything further. Seonghwa keeps his arms tight around you while you equally clinged to him. Nothing really needed to be said in this moment, the high emotions you both shared spoke enough.
Minutes passed when you finally speak up.
"We should probably clean up and get you to bed." You whisper to him, pulling your head back to look over this face.
"I want to stay like this, jagiya." He murmurs, placing his lips on your neck. "I feel so close to you like this... "
"I know, love, but we have to be up early." Hwa groaned at this, which makes you laugh.
"Stop being right."
"Come on... let's take a shower, Hwa." He reluctantly helps you off his lap, his softening length now out of you. You both get off from your bed and you lead him out your room to your bathroom. His hands remained on your waist as you both walked and then waited for the shower water to warm up. He didn't want to let go of you just yet.
After the shower and after drying off, you both go back into your room to change into comfortable clothes to sleep in. He laid down first, slipping under the covers. When you joined him, you laugh when his arms pulled you flush against his body. Seonghwa tucks your head under his chin and he holds you firmly in his arms. You chuckle and hold him just as tightly.
"I don't want to let go of you again... this feels like it's going to be harder than when you when you visited." He says with a sigh.
"I know, Hwa, I know." You mumble, already feel an ache in your chest. "Let's savor the rest of tonight together."
There is a pause.
"I love you, (Y/N)."
"I love you too, Seonghwa."
Morning came too fast your liking. You and Seonghwa awoke with your limbs practically tangled. His warmth despite the temperatures warming outside is comforting in the moment. You both reluctantly got dressed and made Hwa a light breakfast.
A little before 7am, Ateez and their manager came back over to pick Seonghwa up and of course came to say goodbye. You got an earful of teasing when they see the blemishes and marks Hwa left on your neck. You hugged each member and of course your hug lingered on Hwa, with you both gently caressing each other's backs for comfort.
Goodbyes were harder this time around, but you still had that ray of optimism due to your move to South Korea. It will be rough, but with Seonghwa, the rest of Ateez, and even their manager, you knew it would be a feat you'll overcome.
Your new horizon awaits you and your life with Seonghwa seems to be on the right track.

You know what, I just realized something that I can probably add to my list of reasons I'm more ND than I think I am...
So in middle school I found out The Princess Bride was based on a book I immediately decided to read it. But here's the thing, unlike the movie's framing device of a grandfather reading the book to his grandson, the book has one that's basically like an autobiography?? Where the author talks about his grandfather reading him the book as a kid and how it affected him growing up and how, eventually, he decided to "abridge" the original and publish the version you're reading. The author even says Florin and Guilder are real places, and gives "history" on them.
I found(and tbh still find) this part of the book exceptionally boring. It's mean spirted and depressing, and an absolute slog to get through. But I kept trucking through taking everything as complete truth, even though I was pretty sure these countries weren't real places. Europe is big after all and I was in middle school, maybe I just hadn't heard of them before. Thankfully once the "real" book, the story The Princess Bride, actually starts the intersections start to make sense and aren't as boring and I quite liked them more or less, even if they were a little confusing at times. I also read everything after the "real" book ends, an epilog of sorts about the author not being allowed to abridge the sequel bcs Steven King?? Was going to do it?? But there was a bit of this "sequel" included so I read that too.
When my friend, who had leant me the book, asked what I thought, I said I liked it but I didn't understand why the author included all that personal history at the start where he complained about his job and family, it just didn't seem necessary to me and was boring as hell.
My friend informed me that all of that "personal" history wasn't real. The author made it all up. It was as much fiction as the actual story itself. It was satire, you see, and apparently??? very important to read bcs without it you wont "understand" the story. My friend genuinely thought it was super weird that I didn't realize it wasn't true, and also that I didn't like it.
But nah, I thought it was true!! Why would he lie like that?? What was it even satirizing(I still don't really know tbh)?? Why would I need to read all that bs to understand the book?? The story of 'The Princess Bride' made perfect sense on it's own!! I ended up kinda hating the book after that. I felt SUPER betrayed. He said all that stuff like it was true, what on earth was the point of lying?? Didnt he know people would believe him?? Why wouldn't I, after all I almost always tell the truth, lying about all that stuff was dumb and mean and I hated it.
A while later when I brought it up to my godfather he ALSO thought it was silly that I believed all that and didn't get that it was satire, and insisted that it was important for understanding the story.
I still don't get why it's important, and I refuse to read any of it again. When I re-read the book I just skip to where 'The Princess Bride' actually starts and then stop once it's "over". The rest of it is probably important, but to this day I think it's mostly mean spirited and stupid, and idk why he didn't just write the book normally or do what they did in the movie.
Anyway I figure this is like...normal, right? I totally don't have any deeper stuff going on with my brain. When I take assessments I insist I'm great at picking up on sarcasam and satire. Totally great at it. Yeah...

I like obscure Legacy Characters
Kopa
Tumblr media
Nalas and Simbas son
The lion cub at the end of the first part was named Fluffy by the Production Team - in the Six new adventures book series as well as couple of audiobooks their sons name is Kopa. The production team of the second part was not aware of him.
I always wondered what would happen if Disney decided to bring him into the main continuity. And now with Mufasa live action movie on the way I wonder if the Lion Cub could be him.
IDK why but finding out about him in my childhood and even starting to have interest in listening to audiobooks is special to me.
Nemo
Nadias and Jeans unnamed son from Fushigi no Umi no Nadia or the Secret of Blue Water.
He only appears in the epilog sequence.
Tumblr media
He does not has an official name - for obvious reasons I am calling him Nemo.
Tumblr media
Artwork from an official Postcard Book, released in 1991
He was also shown in a game - for one ending. I couldn't find a screenshot...
Parallel Sailor Moon
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Usagi and Mamoru's second daughter, Kousagi (in an alternative reality.)
She only appears in one short story. And technically I do not really enjoy it that much. Its basically about her and the children of the inner senshis trying to bond. They do bully her and i hate that. i kinda want a second story where she gets treated better. But I know its pretty much impossible...
Zatara II
Tumblr media
Zatanna Zataras and John Constantines son from Earth 22. There has been no confirmed first name for him...yet.
He has a small role in the Kingdom/Kingdom Come. However, there are some informations - he likes Pie, is in a Relationship with Avia, the daughter of Scott Free and Big Barda and he is able to see the ghosts. In the comic "Offspring" he talks exclusivly backwards and Avia translates.
I always wondered if the Kingdom Come mini series didn't get cancelled if we would have gotten a short story about him as well.
He is also the inspiration behind "Zachary Zatara", Zatannas "cousin" in the main continuity (sometimes, when they don't forget...or maybe erase him).
Sadly, the Kingdom Come animated movie got canceled. I was hoping to see Zatannas Legacy getting a tiny cameo.

Thanks for reading

Hyunjin X reader
Tumblr media
"If love was poison we'd drink it anyways~"
Part. 1
Sly fox dumb bunny
Warnings::mentions stealing, weapons, toxic relationships, bets, intoxication
Pairing::criminal!hyunjin! X cop!reader
A/N:: SORRY FOR THE WAIT IVE BEEN WRITING SO MANY OTHER FANFICS 🙇‍♀️ I HOPE YALL LIKE THIS LONG AWAITED PART 1
[Pls read epilog before this]
You turned around and pointed the gun at the man. He looked surprised but not afraid in the slightest. "Put your hands up or I'll shoot!" You shouted firmly at him.
"Who the Hell do you think you are?" The man laughed with a cocky expression.
"Officer Y/N L/N from the Korean national police, a senior inspector." You stated harshly while the man just laughed.
"And I'm Johnny Rob from the fucking circus, your rank doesn't mean shit to me." He laughed as he shrugged before putting his hand at his hip, like he was going to grab something. You pointed the tip of your gun at his hand before reluctantly pulling the trigger.
There was a loud bang! But nothing else. You opened your eyes to find his hand unharmed. "Haha you're gonna need these to shoot me." He said showing you the bullets in his hand. You looked at your gun in shock before hearing a loud crash behind you. Oh yeah there's two more! You turned around and saw the massive window now smashed to bits. You turned back around to where the blonde man was but he was nowhere to be found. You turned to the window again before running over to it and looked out of it. As you looked down at the ground you found no reminisce of the other two people from before. You examined the gun closer before realizing it was just a fake model gun!
You threw it on the floor before stomping out the door to go find the bartender from earlier. You spotted him and informed him of everything, he looked at you like you were crazy.
"Alright that's enough," he said as he put his hand up. "Seems like you've had enough drinks for tonight." He said as he started approaching you.
"No! I'm telling the truth! I'm a police officer and I work for the KNP!" You explained as you backed away from him.
"Yeah and I'm the government of America, let's get going home. Do you have that friend to drive you home?" He said as he held you, not forcefully, just enough to keep you standing here.
"Yeah, she's still in the club."
-time skip-
You sat in the back of Alyssa's car as she and her new friend Vanquisha sat in front chatting up a storm. You replayed what happened in your head over and over again. That's when the car halted and you realized you were already at your apartment. You thanked Alyssa for driving you and got out of the car. As you were shutting the car door Alyssa rolled down her window and called out your name. You walked over to the window and leaned in, she stuck her head out the window and softly spoke.
"Don't stress about what you think you saw tonight. I think the work stress is just getting to you and all those drinks made you visualize things that weren't there. Maybe there was a girl crying? And maybe you did follow them? But the rest was the alcohol. Maybe someone put something stronger in it to make you hallucinate?" She said as you were thinking about her every word.
"Yeah, you're probably right," you lied. You know what you saw. Those men were there, and the blonde one had a gun. Besides, the window was actually broken when you saw it later.
"Alright go get some sleep," Alyssa said with a wave of her hand before driving off. You were exhausted so you wasted no time getting changed and into bed. It was mere seconds before you fell asleep.
The next morning you woke up with your hair a mess, blankets half off, clothes on backwards and you had no idea where you were. Perhaps you were a little tipsy last night. You checked your phone to see the battery was at 10% so you plugged it back in and sat in bed. Rethinking all your life choices. You then remembered today was a Friday so you had the entire day off and you weren't on call for the next month so you decided to start the day off with a nice healthy meal. You went out to your fridge and opened it to see…nothing.
"Fuck!" You said as you slammed the door. You then went to the cupboard to find coffee but when you opened it…no coffee. "I mean it's not like I had milk anyway," You said to yourself before closing the cupboard door. You decided to go down to the coffee shop nearby and pick up a little breakfast and some coffee before getting groceries.
You walked up to the line in the shop and looked around the menu. You come here often but you usually don't eat breakfast outside of your own home. When it was time for you to order you walked up to the counter and prepared to request your order but when you made eye contact with the woman at the counter you realized. She looks exactly like the girl from last night. You paused for a moment as you stared at her, she tilted her head and said "is something wrong mam?" You snapped back to reality and replied.
"Sorry, still not awake yet haha," you laughed.
"No,no I get you don't worry about it," She seemed super laid back and friendly and you could tell that by just 9 words. After ordering your food you picked it up and waved goodbye to the woman. You ate it on your way over to the supermarket to get some things to last you a few days. It'd be a fairly short visit.
You finished your breakfast and put the garbage in a trashcan on the side of the sidewalk. As you entered the store you realized you forgot your phone. You sighed and continued on shopping considering you were already here. Vegetables, meat, ketchup, milk, cheese, breakfast foods, snack food what else? You checked off the grocery list in your mind while going through the isle's. Ramen!
You went to the noodles section and started looking around. Unfortunately they didn't have your favorite instant Ramen so you had to find a substitute. As you examined different packs a man stood beside you. You didn't mind because all he was doing was the same as you until he tapped you on the shoulder. You looked up to see a soft man with fluffy blonde hair, glasses, a warm long coat smiling at you.
"I'm sorry but do you know where on this it'd say it's vegan?" He said warmly as he held the little circular box towards you. You looked at him suspiciously to which he responded with a frightened look. He looked so much like the man who had a gun last night.
"Oh don't worry. If it was vegan it'd be listed right here." You said as you pointed at the box for him.
"Thank you very much," he said with a light bow before moving around and checking the bowls of Ramen. He picked one up, checked it, and nodded before walking off. You eyed him for any suspicious behavior. You decided to stop him from walking past you.
"By the way, are you vegan?" You asked kindly.
"I'm afraid not. What makes you ask?" He said slightly aloof.
"I'm just interested in vegans and vegetarians, I think they're very well mind setted people." You explained.
"I can't help but agree," he said, taking a moment to stop and chat to you. Hands on his hips, one still holding his Ramen bowl.
"Why aren't you vegan?" You asked. It sounded a little stupid now that you thought about it but too late, you already said it.
"Too expensive haha," he chuckled awkwardly. "But I still try to get vegan things, such as Ramen." He said idly.
"Funny that you say that because you were the one asking me for help when it comes to knowing if it was vegan." You said getting a little serious.
"Whoa whoa, it's just that when I dormed with my ex-roommate he was the vegan one so he'd know how to get all the vegan food and I'd just follow his lead!" You explained sincerely.
"That makes sense but how did you never notice the big VEGAN label on them?" You said as you pointed at the box.
"My roommate would be the one to cook them." He explained getting serious himself.
"All the time?" You said with an uncertain look. That's when a man asked to get past you "O-oh sorry!" You apologized as you moved out of the way but when you turned back around again the man from before was gone. The only thing left was a vegan Ramen bowl on the floor. You picked it up and looked at it before sighing to yourself. Maybe work is getting to me… you thought to yourself.
You paid for your food and went back home. After putting everything away you checked your phone. You had 5 messages from Alyssa, she invited you to hang out with her and Vanquisha this evening. You replied with an excited yes and talked about the plans.
Time skip□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■□■
It was now 5:43pm and you were at a Korean barbecue restaurant with Vanquisha and Alyssa. Basically third wheeling for the past hour. They weren't dating yet but it was PAINFULLY obvious they were both so into each other and as you watched them recreate perfect kdrama scenes throughout this get together you lost your mind.
It came time to pay and one of the young men came up to you and asked if they were ready to pay. Even during that they were being romantic. Fighting over which one of them was gonna pay until you frustratedly told the man to split it.
After paying you went out to Alyssa's car and sat in the back seat…again. As they were being lovey dovey you looked out the window and replayed your recent memories from the club and grocery store. The more you thought about it his facial features were similar to the blonde gunman at the club. Your head started aching at all this thinking.
"Sorry to butt in but is it okay if you drop me off now?" You said leaning forward to the two girls in front.
"Sure, but why don't you want to come with us?" Alyssa smiled at you while stopping at a red light.
"I'm not feeling great. I've got a headache and I'm feeling light headed," you explained.
"Oh okay. I'll drop you off now." Alyssa said before turning to the left when the light turned green. Vanquisha gave you some meds with a warm smile, her dark skin filled her eyes as she smiled.
You arrived home and lazily walked up to your apartment room. After fumbling around with the keys you got inside. At the window you found a male figure standing in the moonlight. You panicked and shouted "who are you!?" To the mysterious figure.
"Don't recognize me?" The man said as he turned around and approached you, his face now visible. You analyzed his features and it clicked. He pulled his hair back with a smirk. "You don't happen to have any vegan ramen?" He chuckled before sitting on a chair around your circular table.
"How the hell did you know where I live!?" You said angrily stomping over to him.
"Check the pocket of the jacket you wore to the grocery store," he said pointing to your jacket hanging on the wall. You looked at him suspicious before going over to your jacket. You shoved your hand in the pocket and found a little pill shaped red tracker in it. You grabbed it in a fist and growled. "You're pretty unaware for a cop," he smirked as he sipped some tea from one of your tea cups.
"When did you-" you said as you looked around for any remnants of him getting tea. Nothing to be found. You looked back at him to make sure he wasn't doing anything troublesome. "What do you want?" You said with crossed arms.
"I want you to quit your job." He said cheekily.
"What?!" You said as you stomped over to him. He was unbothered, simply sipping his tea. "Why the hell do you want me doing that?" You tried to get behind his motives.
"Haha, you really don't know anything about this police industry sweetie," he laughed as your fists clenched.
"Says you!" You said sitting down, arms crossed.
"I was once a fool like you," he waved his hand in the air. "Gullible, immature, slow," he stated as your blood boiled. "But it didn't take long for this fox to figure it all out," he said, gesturing to himself. You raised an eyebrow at him at his unbelievable talk.
"What do you mean by that?" You inquired. He shook his head with a "tsk, tsk, tsk"
He stood up and started heading for the door before you ran in front of it. He bent down to look at you in the eye. "I'm going to have to ask you to move, bunny." He said with a gentle smile that melted your heart. You snapped yourself out of it.
"No! And I'm not a bunny!" You retorted. He sighed and shook his head.
"You have no reason to keep me here so let me pass,"
"No! I have reasons!"
"Such as?"
"You broke into my house-"
"I opened it with a key," he chuckled as he dangled said keys in your face. You grabbed them and examined them.
"You put a tracker on me!" You gestured to your jacket and his eyes followed.
"Correction. I put it in your jacket. Not on you." He replied cockily. You grumbled and looked back at him. "Admit it, ya can't touch me bunny," he said, pushing you out of his way.
"No, no, no! Where'd you get the key!" You pointed a finger at him.
"I borrowed it from someone."
"Without my consent!" You replied angrily.
"I didn't get it from you, bunny." He chuckled as he started opening the door.
"Then who did you get it from?" You said as you stood in front of the door again.
"That is none of your concern, bunny" he said, getting annoyed with you.
"Would you stop calling me that!" You said with frustration.
"Listen toots." He knelt down to you. "If you quit your job in two weeks, I'll stop stealing, give you these keys, and never talk to you again." He stated. "I'll even stop committing crimes! Talk about being heroic. Stopping someone from ending countless lives by just stealing! Haha!" He said with annoyance.
"Promise?" You said sticking out a hand to him.
"Deal." He grabbed your hand and shook it. It felt like shaking the devil's hand. With that you let him open the door and just barely step out into the hallway before you spoke up.
"And if you break the deal I'll expose this audio recording." You said as you held up your phone that played a recording. "I'll stop stealing, give you these keys, and never talk to you again. I'll even stop committing crimes! Talk about heroic! Stopping someone from ending countless lives by just stealing!haha!"
You shut the door on his shocked face. He then started banging on the door.
"If you don't delete that I'm gonna-!"
You just laughed in response. "Do what?"
You said as you examined the keys you swiped off of the man. He just growled as he stopped banging on the door. "Admit it, you can't touch me fox," you giggled.
"Hey that's my line!" He kicked the door before leaving.
"We won't be seeing him for a while," you said to yourself outloud as you held up the exact copy of your keys that used to be in his hands.

Their Deadly Flower - Epilog
(A/n: This is the final part of book one. Thank you all for following me through this work. I appreciate each and every one of you Lovelies more than you'll ever know. Enjoy and don't forget to check out the prolog of book two.)
Book Two - Bloomed in Poison - Prolog
Pairings: Ghost X GN!Reader, König X GN!Reader
Prolog - One - Two - Three - Four - Five - Six - Seven - Eight - Nine - Ten - Eleven - Twelve - Thirteen - Fourteen
     Things have changed for you over the past few months. König was gone, toted back off to the base he’d come from with the others. Contact was rough due to differing schedules. What was once daily calls and messages had turned into nothing more than a brief check in once a week to ensure the other was still alive. 
     Ghost, on the other hand, was a change you hadn’t expected. He’d just stopped speaking to you one day. His mind always seemed occupied, though you couldn’t blame him for what the recent events had dragged out of the recesses of his mind. He’s broken all over again. He’s healing faster this time, having been through this before, but he’s still not his whole self. 
     Your relationship had become strained once again from the constant stress he was under from the PTSD. You weren’t doing so well either after the things you’d done to get them back. It was a mixture of emotions that catalyzed the eventual distance and destruction of what little connection he’d allowed to form between you both. 
     Some things would never change though. From the silence of your steps to your highly perceptive hearing. All of your training still stays with you, even after your leave and eventual return to 141. Your eyes are always sharp, keeping watch for what could be lurking around any and every corner. Shoulders always squared and feet poised to strike at anyone who might try to take you out.
     You’re constantly on edge, more than before, and rarely ever sleep due to the fear of Rain and the organization returning to finish what they started. The horrible things you have done, the face of those whose lives you’ve taken, and now the men who have seemingly abandoned you flash through your mind when you close your eyes.
     On the rare occasions you do sleep, you wake in a cold sweat, screaming from the night terrors and memories that plague you, only now they are much worse. Memories of the capture that lead to your new found loneliness, flashes of the atrocities you’d committed, flickering images of the torture they were put through at the hands of the enemy. An enemy that was out for you.
     Through it all, that magnetic pull never stopped. Not when you were in med bay, all recovering together. Not when Konig eventually had to head back for other business with his team. Not when things inevitably fell apart between the three of you. Not when Ghost had his mental break from the new trauma added to his already pain riddled past. Never. It seemed to be the only constant in your life at any given time. Call what you will; a pull, a buzz, an intense electricity that pulsed through you at all times. 
     Only two things were certain at this point. Firstly, you are bound to these two men in some way and them to you. Secondly, you’d come out of this stronger. A phoenix birthed through the flames of war and torment. A deadly flower that has bloomed within the poison of the world.
(Don’t forget to ask about joining the tag-list: @josieguts @strangepuppynightmare @theredviolets @poohkie90 @giulia2372 @fillechatoyante @buckysjuicyplums @running-writing @darkravenqueen98 @bigman101 @birdiiiiiiiiiii @kessi-21 @ricewithlime)

My Boyfriend's Back: Epiloge
A/N: This is short, and I hate to say it, but this is the end of the story. I will not be continuing into Scream 4, 5, and 6. I will be moving on to Killer Geek next. A very OOC Randy Meeks x Loomis Reader. I don't know when I will be posting anything on that story, probably not until I have at least ten chapters. I hope you enjoyed this story. Thank you for reading and being so patient with me and my lack of updates recently. I love you all. xoxo
Ten Years Later
We moved out of California like we said we would. Stu changed his name and looks. It's been ten years, and nobody has seemed to recognize him. Reese is eleven and in the sixth grade. Everything has been great. We got married seven years ago. I got back into my music and released an album, and Stu went back to school. He got his GED and then went to school for film. We live in a gated community and have the most expensive security system I could get.
I know it sounds ridiculous and over the top. I live with the man who started at this shit but I didn't want to be caught off guard one day. There had been the occasional prank calls here and there with someone pretending to be ghostface. I wanted to keep purpose daughter our of that life. She knows everything. It was hard to hide as she got older. She's smart and sneaky. I probably shouldn't have kept newspaper clippings of everything.
Dewey and Gale are married, still living in Woodsboro. Dewey is the sheriff now, and Gale hasn't written a book in years. But Stab movies keep being made. Of course, after the third movie, Sidney and I threatened to sue if they made any more stable movies based on our lives. The movies have gotten worse and worse.
Speaking of Sidney, she moved out of California too, right after our dad passed away. He had a heart attack a few years after the Hollywood murders. She wrote a book called Out of the Darkness." The books about her…our lives, and how she has dealt with it. She also married Randy, which let me say it was a huge shock. But they grew closer, and she agreed to let him take her on a date. That date turned into another and another, and before she knew it, she was saying yes to marrying him.
Randy wrote a script he had been working on for years, and then he made it into a movie. He produced and directed it himself. He's a big director now and had made dozens of movies, at least of them being his own. Stu has helped on a few of them, co-directing with him. Sidney and Randy also have two kids together, Lily is five, and Nolan is three. They live a few houses down from us, and we have dinner every Friday night.
Life couldn't be any better. It's not what I was expecting it to be, but it all worked out. I still have a small part of me that wonders if Stu ever gets the urge to kill. He's very protective of me and Reese. Randy and Sidney weren't all to on board when I told them about getting back with Stu. They both thought it was a horrible idea, but over time, they have learned to put the past behind them and accept it. I made Stu get rid of anything that linked him back to the ghostface murders. So far, we haven't had any problems, and I hope it stays that way.

Sleep in Heavenly Pizza: A Deep Dish Mystery
by Mindy Quigley
Publisher: ‎ Minotaur Books (October 22, 2024)
Publication date: ‎ October 22, 2024
Print length: ‎ 315 pages
Tumblr media
Thank you to NetGalley, Minotaur Books, and Mindy Quigley for providing this advance reader copy (ARC) of the book. I'm leaving my honest review below.
Lots of family drama, an unlikeable female lead, and no dead body until chapter 7. I'm not a fan. The 2 stars is for the plot, which had a lot of promise, and having a fat orange cat. Like a good who-dun-it there were red herrings and enough characters to keep you guessing. The family drama was a lot to deal with, it was like the Christmas we all dread. The lead, Delilah, is such a mess I took an instant dislike to her. She's a perfectionist with no self-esteem who takes every comment the wrong way, actually 5 wrong ways. Don't get me started on her sister and boring relationship with the boyfriend. Her inner monologs were torture. The wrap-up took a long time to happen after the crime being discussed over and over. Tying up loose ends was an epilog without a big arrest scene.

Hey you might wanna stop and take a look at yourself for a minute.
You're hatred for the epilog and you think you're au is canon is slowly starting to manifest as hatred towards though who don't think that Kieran was possessed.
Its phase that most people like you go through, no worries, just gonna call it out before it gets worse
Oh shit, sorry about that.
Thanks for telling me, anon. The last thing I want is to be a jerk.
I'll work on undoing that behavior immediately.
Again thanks for letting me know.

MOUNTAIN LODGE
Tumblr media
It's quite a heavy snowstorm outside. Strong minus degrees and no chance to reach someone through the no longer available network. A problem that is making me panic. My boyfriend complained about abdominal pain a few hours ago. Critical, because he is heavily pregnant. Super stupid, of course - we didn't accept an early due date because the doctors think it would be good if our triplets could stay in the womb any time they needed. I look out of the window, which is partially covered with snow, and turn to my boyfriend, who is sitting on the sofa shirtless, but wrapped in thick woolen blankets. He looks at me a bit suspiciously and I sit down next to him, pushing the covers aside to expose his huge belly. "How are you feeling boy?" I ask him, hoping for a calming answer. He closes his eyes like he's having a cramp and then exhales deeply. "Not that good, to be honest. The three of them are so active and it's really not a nice feeling. In addition, I can feel the bottom baby pushing hard-…ouch…into my pelvis. I really don't have a good feeling . What are we going to do if the storm stays that strong?" I don't even know what to answer. I've never been to a birth. Above all, I never thought of a home birth…and then also with triplets? I try not to show the panic, but a chill runs down my spine. All I researched today was what to do in such an emergency. Am I well prepared for this? Definitely not. I still hope that either the storm will end or my boyfriend's pain will end. I put my hand on his stomach and try to calm him down a bit. "I think I have to go to the toilet. I was actually going to go half an hour ago." He puts the blankets aside and I help him up so I can now see his bulge clearly through his sweatpants. I'm uncomfortable in this situation, but I can't help but look at him excitedly as he walks slowly. "You look so good when you're heavily pregnant you know? I get a little horny boy" He stops and has to laugh a little. He looks at me with those loving eyes and asks kindly "Shall I pose for you? I should be able to do it with these contractions too, my love"
It's almost impossible for me to think clearly. His beautiful and sexy curves won't let me go. As soon as the bathroom door closes, I start jeaking off. It's not that I don't want him to know I'm jerking off on him, it's just that I don't want to put additional demands on him. I have a few minutes, and when I hear the toilet flush, I'm already done cleaning up and at the kitchen sink. A few moments later I hear the door and my boyfriend slowly comes towards me. I see uncertainty and pain in his face. That must be really exhausting, with triplets in your stomach and the pain. He leans on the counter and does breathing exercises. I stand behind him so that my body presses against his back and reach past his hips under his stomach to support him a little. "Everything is fine. It's almost time, no question. We can do it. I can give you a massage. I could make you a hot-water bottle." I'm trying everything to make him feel better. "I can feel the pressure of the amniotic sac. The stronger it gets, the more likely it will burst. When I stand, the pressure is worse because all the weight is on my pelvis. I think I should sit down again. Please help me with this." Said and done. I let him down. Now he's sitting on the couch with his legs apart again. If what he says is true, which also makes sense, then any unnecessary movement can cause a water break. This is not good. Hopefully we can delay the birth long enough.
Epilog:
In fact, the two managed to delay the birth a bit. The roads were passable again and both made their way. Unfavorably, a pothole was hit while driving that causes the water break. However, the hospital was reached before the birth of the first baby.

I saw a propt on insta and now this happpened
Ok, so I was scrolling on insta the other day and found this prompt about an autor who got sick or hurt or something and was about to d¡e.
Thing is that the characters on their book try to save them and the one who is more eager to help is the villain.
Now, that's great, but then my fanfiction-addict arse started to think.
AU. Modern Era. Harry Potter. With Severus Snape as the autor and Tom M. Riddle as the villain and them completly ooc.
Then everything kinda went crazy.
I imagined a scene were Sev wakes up in his hospital room, maybe in the middle of the freaking night and sees this person there, but like, he cannot make them out until they get closer and when they do he recognises Riddle asap.
Then, they both start talking. You know, the old, what are you doing here? How are you here?
Then Tom explains that he was the only one who got to this world, the others were probably still trying, but...
Point is, if Sev faded, so would the word he was creating. That would be until he finished the story.
Then maybe Tom tries to convince/threatens Severus so he would give him a good ending.
Severus says no and Tom kinda blows up.
Sev dosn't really react to the outburst, he knows this time is more bark than bite.
Tom pretty much plummets in the chair next to the bed and Sev explains to him that even though the story still lacked an epiloge, the last chapter was already sent to the editor and was pretty much irreversibly part of the saga.
There is silence, of course. Sev really needs to process the madness that is all that. Tom needs to come to terms with the fact that he is basically doomed.
Tom is the first one to speak.
"Can I at least know what will happen?" He sort of demands-pleads.
Severus answers with a sigh.
"I can tell you that the chapter ends with your plans ruined and you being taken by the aurors."
"Typical" the villain scoffs.
Severus chuckles, unable to stop himself and quite unconcerned about it.
Tom sighs. Then thinks about something else that has been nagging his brain for the past couple of weeks he has been there.
"Who am I here?" He blurts out of the blue, for Severus, at least.
"What do you mean?"
"Every person that is related somehow to you in this word is nearly a copy of someone in my world," he explains. "Sans me, apparently."
"Oh, that," Severus smiles. "No, you won't find anyone like you here. All the main characters in your home are based on people I know except you. You are the only one I fully created."
Tom opens his mout to reply but finds himself nearly speechless, not so much for what he was told, but because of the apparent warmth he was being addresed with.
Severus then frowned and pursed his lips. A painful grimace takes over hia face as realisation hits him. He closes his eyes and breathes deeply before looking at the man in front of him.
"I'm so sorry, Riddle."
Tom blinks before getting back his wits and replying with the most nonchalance he could muster. "It's not your fault you cannot change the end now," he said shrugging as a bonnus.
"Is not that," said the autor. "All the things I put you through without knowing..."
"If it wasn't you, it would've been someone else," replied the other.
"How so?" Now Severus was curious.
"It's complicated..." sighed the villain while leaning on the chair, a hand slightly pulling at his hair in exhaustion.
Getting the hint, Severus just nodded and dorpped the topic.
"And who are you? In the story, I mean..." asked Tom then.
"Oh! I'm Tobias Snape."
"The potion profesor?" inquired Tom with a frown. Both eyebrows arched at the answering nod. "You don't look like him."
"I guess not," chuckled the other.
"You don't act like him either," stated the man sitting on a chair, watching as the autor downrigth laughed at his last comment.
Then the man smiled sadly as he explained. "I guess the way I wrote the people in the book are the way I percieve the people in here."
The pause after that was tense and Tom could not help himself.
"Shit! You need therapy!"
Tom actually cringed at what he said and the expression on the other man's face. That until Severus burst out in damn giggles.
"I knew you were blunt, but...!" he tried to say beetwen chuckles.
"And who's to blame, huh?" replied the other, failing in supressing a smile.
"Who else have you met?" asked Severus suddenly.
Upon looking at him, Tom reached the insane conclussion that Prince was not worried, he just wanted to know.
"I think I met pretty much everyone." Whatever face he made after speaking must have betrayed his thoughts, if Princes' wince was to be considered. He shrugged before replying, reminding himself in his head that this person definitly knew what an asshole he could be. "Honestly, Lily is way more pleasant in my world. James and Sirius though...," he didn't try to hide the disdain in his voice. "I have never met someone so unpleasent, and that is saying something! You went too easy on them!" By that point, Severus was chuckling again.
Like this they spent hours, comparing people and stories of their worlds.
It was a bit outputting meeting someone for the first time with that person already aware of every little detail of your life. Even more so when said person did not run away.
Eventually, they didn't have anything else to talk about, and Tom still had to go back to his world. Severus could read it in his eyes, the moment Tom was readying himself to go, to give him some parting words before leaving.
"What if...?" Asked Severus suddenly. He licked his lips, overly conscious of the attention Tom was giving him. "What if I could give you a way out?"
"But you said you can't change the story," replied Tom, confused.
"I also said that the epiloge is still unfinished." Severus started tangling his fingers on the blancket draped around him, nerviously trying to think of anything that could-. His face lit up with a smile. "I cannot make you win, but I can make you scape."
Tom clenched one fist, hope swelling in his chest while he tried to keep it down.
"There is nowhere for me to go, Prince."
"Call me, Severus," blurted out the other without thinking while reaching for the notebook and pen on the bedside table oposite where Tom was sitting. "And you are rigth, there's nowhere in your world you can go, that's why you will start anew in whatever world you choose."
Tom's mind was spinning. He had already accepted the fact that he was done. Now he may had a way out, but it felt surreal, too easy. Heck! He didn't even had that much hope before reaching the building they where in. Besides... "I could only make it here because you were about to pass!"
"I can make another way. You know I can," said Severus, frantically scribling with his pen. "A portal that will take you wherever you wish to go, where noone will ever be able to follow..."
Tom tried and failed in speaking a couple of times.
"Prin- Severus," amended, remembering the other's words a while ago. "Why are you doing this?"
Severus finally left his notes in favor of the man sitting next to him. The dejected and confused expression he found told him more than anyone could belive.
Riddle was not expecting to be helped. He probably never did.
Of course he never did! Severus was well aware of the reason- of the reasons Riddle had to not trust him or anyone else, really.
Severus smiled warmly at Tom. "Did you know you were always one of my favorites?"
Tom watched unable to reply, as Severus' hand tangled briefly in his hair (too briefly).
That's how, in the end of the story, Tom was able to open a portal to a world unknown to any other person in his. Noone knew how he did it and the reserch was lost forever, a last tiny victory for the nearly convict.
Severus stayed a week to be checked. His 'magical' recovery was on every news you'd find.
When the time to leave came, the nurse told him about his family in the lobby.
Lily must have gotten out of work early.
Walking to meet her, he was disconcerted by the lack of red hair in his view.
He looked around, willing the universe to free him of the posibility of Lupin being the person offering him a ride home.
"Ready to go?" asked a voice behind his back.
He turned so fast that the world lost focus for a second before he met the eyes of the man leaning agaist the wall, already carring a bag with severus' belongings.
"Riddle?" he whispered desbelieving.
"Call me Tom," answered the other with a half smile.
Severus huffed a laugh while aproaching him, leaning in to retrive his bag. The other swung it over his shoulder and out of his reach, walking towards the exit so the autor would follow.
"Don't think that I'm not happy to see you," started Severus. "But why are you in this world again?"
They made it to a car. Tom retrieved the car's key from his pocket and Severus chose to adress that later.
"You tell me," snarked the ex-villian while putting Severus bag on the back of the car.
"I wrote for you to go wherever you wanted to go," Severus tried to explain and understand himself.
Tom only hummed blandly and opened the door of the car for Severus to get in.
He then walked around the car and got in himself, settling in the driver's sit and igniting the engine.
"I wanted you to start again where you cuold enjoy your life... wher you could be-" he cut himself, feeling sad all of a sudden. Did he fail Tom?
"I know," Tom interrumped his depressing thoughts.
Severus looked at him, only to be met with a small, yet warm smile.
They got to a red ligth and the car stopped. Tom reached out and, hesitanly interlaced his fingers with Severus'.
Marveling at the sight that were their hands togethet, Severus was finally hit with realisation.
He looked at Tom and smiled openly at him.
The light changed to green and Tom let go of Severus while asking for directions. They had to get home.

6. How do you come up with ideas?
Based solely on what little i have under my ao3, some combination of drawing from real life experience (Store Playlist), brain rot over someone else's au (all the Weakness Add-ons, hi becca), prompts from tumblr (Swallow Up Your Heart of Gold, Damn Auto-correct..., If You Love It So Much...), and pure self-indulgence (Left 2 Chill, abandoned fics that ive elected to not refer to by name)
17. What is your most written pairing?
Boyf Riends,, I need to expand my writing repertoire,,,
34. Are there any common themes you like to explore in your writing?
There's kinda no consistencies that I've been able to pick out, even between fics that take place in the Weakness Saga (hi becca). Uh, Jeremy's neglect has come up a few times bc he's just like me fr, but other than that? Not much that I can think of
43. What keeps you motivated when working on a long project?
Deadlines.
I'm kidding (sort of. A little.) I mean I've only finished one long fic, the epiloge of which will be posted in 5 days, and the long comic I posted to insta back in 2020 was kinda just a way to get through senior year + quarantine so??? I don't know?? Some part of it is not wanting all the time and energy to have been a waste I guess. But I start so few projects anymore that I just?? Don't try unless I'm really sure of the idea or was prompted by some outside force. Man this took a nihilistic turn

Musings on my introduction to Warhammer 40k
It started with lore videos. Luetin09 had a playlist of lore videos on Warhammer 40,000. I never really paid much attention to the fiction or the tabletop game, but I thought the series would be a good thing to listen to as I fell asleep at night so I added the playlist to my library. I'm not sure when exactly I started to get hooked. It might have been sometime around the 7th or 8th video after the Horus Heresy story was told that I started to become much more invested in paying attention to the fiction. The tragedy of the Horus Heresy still compels me, the fall from grace is a reliable source of drama and emotion when done well, and the dramatic irony of an Emperor who sought to eradicate all religion and faith becoming a God-Emperor worshipped by the remains of his empire is rich.
Since I was most interested in exploring the world of fiction and less interested in the tabletop side of things, I started to look into what books would be the best to read to get introduced to this world outside of lore videos on YouTube. Most online sources and advice from others already into the fiction recommended the Eisenhorn trilogy of books. I happily downloaded and voraciously consumed the first book, Xenos, within a week. It was pretty much the perfect sci-fi space fantasy adventure. You had your cast of characters already known to each other and introduced to the reader through a mid-mission introduction that opens up into the larger conspiracy that consumes the rest of the plot. It moves and moves from beat to beat, seemingly always ending with enough of a teaser or revelation in the last line to make me eager to dig into the next chapter whenever I could. New characters get introduced, there are actual long lasting consequences and losses (most notably the destruction of Eisenhorn's ability to smile) and downtime where characters are given adequate time to believably recover and prepare for the next large setpiece and sustain even more damage before the ultimate resolution.
With Xenos wrapped up and my interest fully piqued into what else Warhammer 40k had to offer, I chose the first of the Horus Heresy novels, Horus Rising. The introduction was comprehensively confusing as it bait and switches your expectation as to future events with a meandering, perspective changing introduction revolving around Horus killing the emperor, emphasis on little e. Once my confusion was cleared up, watching Loken ascend into the inner circle of Horus, and seeing the intimate details of a body of people, the faults and cracks in the Emperor's Great Crusade became everpresent and ultimately believable as the fault of human beings. The Emperor is, as he claims, just a man, and that is why his crusade ultimately fails. As famously claimed by Halo: Reach, "from the beginning, you know the end." Horus will fall, legions of space marines will perish, and after a few more thousands of years we will reach the timeline of Eisenhorn, but for now, I get to fret and worry over the ultimate fates of the periphery characters of history such as Lorken and the various remembrancers accompanying Horus' forces across the cosmo. My one complaint is that due to the ultimate fate of the universe being known, a few too many knowing references are written in, things such as Astartes killing Astartes, Horus himself succumbing to Chaos, the Emperor dying and being worshipped throughout the empire, etc. It cheapens the surrounding characters as fourth wall breaks weaken the overall drama of the current time by referencing known facts the characters can't comprehend. These don't reinforce the tragedy of known events yet to happen, they just call attention to themselves as winks from the author to the reader and not believable dialogue between characters.
Once Horus Rising was completed, I returned to Eisenhorn with the second novel, Malleus. Though I didn't find it as good as Xenos, it was still a great sci-fi adventure, and the epilogue is a huge tease for the finale in Hereticus. Malleus, as a result of revisting and reintroducing various elements present in Xenos, something that, to me, happened only a week or two ago but for Eisenhorn happened a century ago, feels too fresh to have as much significance to me as I feel was intended. This pushes me more towards the various side-novels and short stories involving Eisenhorn, as they, presumably, do not have as many direct ties to each other and the mainline trilogy as to make the universe feel smaller than it is.
Now I'm beginning False Gods, the second book of the Horus Heresy. The series is quite extensive, as I've already looked into the order in which they were published, as well as some of the earliest Warhammer 40k novels as I'm always interested in seeing the very beginning of something that is now so large. It has also made me more interested in the games that seek to capture the experience of living within this world, at this time mostly with the Boltgun game, as I can never get enough of the boomer-shooters explosion (hopefully something will one day surpass DUSK.) I have been really enjoying this dip into Warhammer fiction though, and intend to see it through as long as my interest holds. I've already torn through three novels in less than a month, who knows how much more I can do.

Please allow me to add some perspective as an older (58) aro/ace. A play in three acts.
When I was younger, I wasn't ace (I was bi). Nor were those terms that I had ever encountered, though they might have existed somewhere. There was at least one other person in my GLBT (as we called it then) circle who was very clear about being what we'd now call ace, we even went on a date once (he very definitely was not aro), but there was no convenient shorthand for it.
Then I got married. And then we had a kid. And yes, our social circle contracted to the "bubble" of parents whose kids were at the same school(s) as ours. Any weak romanticism I had harbored until then faded somewhere along the line, as did interest in sex with another person. My wife was very close to aro/ace all along, so I' don't think she minded 'm quite sure she didn't mind (or even notice TBPH).
Finally, our daughter left home. (That makes it sound like a long-sought outcome, but far from it. It actually makes me quite sad.) Around the same time I retired, so my work semi-friends are no longer around (except online) either. With more free time I've been able to make more friends again, both RL and online. I'm happy to report that thoughts of sex or romance are no part of that for anyone involved, at least AFAIK. Many of my new friends are probably aro/ace themselves, even if they don't know those terms. That energy is instead directed toward shared interests, and in many cases toward service to the community as well.
Epilog: my point in writing this is to show how that "bubble" is not permanent. There is light at the end of that particular tunnel. In fact, I'd say the aro/ace experience and the older-person experience are quite similar in many ways. Both are stereotyped as lonely and isolated, but they need not be. In fact, I think being aro/ace might become easier as it becomes more recognized (starting with the rest of the LGBTQIA+ community) as A Thing, as often-overlapping neurodiversity also becomes more accepted, as people choose it for social/environmental reasons as well as personal ones. I don't mean to deny or diminish the experience of young aro/ace people today, but I would like to offer some hope that it will get better.
The duality of "If you even imply that being aro or ace condemns someone to a sad and lonely life I will fucking fight you"
and
"being aro and ace is the most isolating thing I will ever experience"

I've realized that y'all probably think I only read smutty nonsense and reverse harem. But even though that's fifty percent true, the other fifty percent I read thriller, historical, crime, and fantasy. I'm actually in the middle of reading the Game of Thrones series.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.
Genre: Reverse Harem, Romance, Fantasy, Magic, Demons.
Tumblr media
This book was okay. I didn't like it but I didn't hate it either. I put it as a 4 star rating because that's what I give all the mediocre books.
We start off with Luce being a obsessive prick that obviously doesn't know basic human decency. He refuses to let Ama go to her other 7 mates because he believes he is her only 'true mate'... Okay boss. I like how delulu you arrreee.
To be honest, after Luce's atrocious behavior I would've taken a vow of silence but that's just me. And I do believe she does say she would take a vow of silence then immediately after she broke it. How could you keep the woman you claim to be your mate locked up without her powers and just expect her to surrender. That's fucked up.
After Nico fucked everything up with Ama, he starts having breakdowns now that Ama went missing. Like he's on a verge of a mental breakdown but one talk with Jace fixed him. I'm not even kidding. Jace said, If you ever feel alone, don't. AND NICO said oh okay and got his shit together. I WISH IT WORKED LIKE THAT. That scene cracked me upppp.
On the other hand, why does every book like this one has a sex scene battle? Like babe, they're always in the middle of war but they got time to fuck. What they should be doing is going to they're battle stations cuz that would be no time for happy fun time. WE'RE IN A WAR HOE QUIT FUCKING.
Towards the end, it was over so quickly. It took maybe two or three chapters for the villains to die. It was over with a literal woosh of a scythe and boom, dead.
ALSO, why on Earth were all of her mates virgins? I DONT believe it. I REFUSE. All of a sudden everyone's a renounced virgin.
I kid you not. From page 343 to 394, it was just them having adult fun time. My pure innocent eyes were tainted this day. I will never be the same again. I say as I pick up the next book that has the same genre's and plot. But to be honest, I blushed for alot of the scenes. It was so... out there. It wasn't even what they were doing, it was what they were saying. She didn't even have proper sex with Drayven. They only had minor dream sex. BORE.
Here's one quote:
"...I missed her so much I had thought my heart actually cracked in half before shattering into millions of pieces when I realized she was gone..."
Ya'll they had 2 epiloges in this book. I kind of understand why but at the same time you could've ya know, just put them together. I feel like it was just a ploy to get more pages or something
