Dumping the start of the tags here cause tumblr has a tag limit of 30 :/ sorry op
Okay hold on
also more things I couldn't fit in. after cuddy bails out choreman chase gets assigned a bunch of clinic hours as Punishment TM. But mom-dad wilson (house is dad-mom) keeps him company till house gets angsty and comes to bail him out pick him up.
More I couldn't fit in at the end so I dumped here outta order:
wilson teahces the ducklings to paint since obvi house passed down his musical talents
rich kid chase got assigned clarinet at age 6. he's ok but has 0 heart. house jokingly points him towards a lyre in a music shop and he takes to it instantly. house go to tease him (baby angel lookin-) but chase looks so overjoyed and he says something like "look just like David played for Saul" so he melts on the spot (and convinces wilson to by him a kinnor so he doesn't know its his idea. he sings like a screeching alterboy tho)
I think cameron can sing but she's quiet and stumbles so she refuses to get formal training. she's tear rendering on a cello tho. surprisingly she can dj like all hell too. she had a wild college life before her 1st husband
foreman can sing smooth as silk. but he can't play an instrument to save his life (no patient for it). his dancing though? stage worthy. can be convinced to show off after a couple drinks.
Obsessed with the whole vibes of early season one of House. The ducklings have the energy of dysfunctional siblings along with their insane Vicodin-addict father. Wilson isnât shown to have an office yet so he just lingers at Houseâs side while constantly and giving him fuck-me eyes. Wilson will just sit in on diagnoses and give his advice like he doesnât have any responsibilities in the world. When the team needs to (illegally) shrink a patientâs tumor so itâs small enough to operate on, Wilson just says âalrightâ and does it along with Cameron. Chase does a silly American accent to fool a patientâs mother and it WORKS. Foreman is new and already despises everyone. House comments on how fuckable Wilson looks when Wilson is simply wearing a green tie and nice shoes. An old woman says that House has the same bedroom eyes as Ashton Kutcher. At one point the team, House, Wilson, and Cuddy all gather together in the small lab room to discuss a patient and are all basically brushing shoulders. Wilson reads a love poem out loud in the middle of the hospital to House. House eats tomato sauce that the team suspected was killing the patient. Wilson ditches his wife on Christmas Eve to go hang out with House and it shows a montage of them laughing and eating take-out. Cuddy greets House and Wilson by saying âhi, boysâ like theyâre kids. Foreman and Cameron are tasked to search a patientâs home and Foreman eats the ham he found in their fridge because he was hungry. The first scene with House shows him and Wilson walking down the hallway literally brushing hands and shoulders despite the hallway being huge. One of the first things Wilson does is lie to House. Wilson asks House â who rarely ever takes cases unless he finds them really interesting â to take a case and House just takes it. When asked why it was so easy, House just looks at Wilson with a smirk and says âyou know whyâ and then they both smile at each other. This is all in the span of the first eight episodes.
#cameron watches the met gala with wilson and they make a tradition of judging the Shit outfits together (they both still suck at shopping)!#they still go shopping. but for silly obscure mugs! they make a death match outta it! foreman introduces them to ebay and decimates them!#it gets so bad house inlists amber to take them (wilson + cameron) shopping. somehow he and chase end up tagging along#chase and amber actually slay the house down. they are effective and vicious at shopping.#think crazy rich aunt who shows up once a month for a shopping spree therapy ses. and bad bitchin life advice. then you never see her again#later that night chase and foreman go out drinking. they have a bro moment get robbed and some how they're the ones who end up in jail#(probably for drunkenly disorder)#they get their phone call and chase is like noooo i cant tell mom and dad theylll be sooo disappointed in me :( (house is not)#foreman is like i gotchu bro and calls up cuddy at like 5 am. she brings rachel with her cause she cant be left alone yet#(its fine tho she was already up. kids r just Like That) she shows up eyebrow raised like 'Boys'.#foreman the lil shit points at chase straight face and says it was all his idea. his fault. tried to stop him but nooo he wouldnt listen đ#and since foreman is (canonically) cuddy's favourite she believes him.#thats how foreman gets brotherly revenge for chase always throwin the rest of the team under the bus and bein a lil snitch (affectionate)#chase regrets not calling cameron and facing her moral wrath for all of 5 mins. then they get to cuddys car#and chase lights up like a stage 4 cancer patient in a ct scan. cause rachel is in the car. and rachel ADORES foreman. finds him facinating#he's her new teddy. she asks him every question under the sun + leaves him covered in Child Stickiness. chase thinks this is an Opportunity#but plot twist foreman is great with kids. he listens and answers and gives fun neuro facts. rach makes the đŽ face kids make till shes 13.#she gets in trouble @school for diagnosing kids w/ stuff (mostly true) but her teacher is so confused about this kids family she just đ#foreman always makes time for Rachel between cases holidays etc. and bring your kid to work day is right after her birthday.#so she goes every year spends the day in the teams or wilson's office. sitting in foremans lap until she just kicks him off and steals it.#also she has a height chart in foreman's Dark Shadowy Corner that she updates every year and everybody must Write A Note every year#on the flip side she hits chameron with the double 'why are you both blonde. sad.' and they both die of humiliation.#everyone thinks rachel'll take after foreman when she shows interest in medicine. she does. in a way. she goes into psychology :)#when she announces this (either in the clinic or in an ambulance over some guy who collapsed) house (who with wilson + cuddy coparent rach)#has what'll become known as The Great House Swoon of 2026 when rachel hits 18 yes i did math. he's fine tho. what's the logic behind this?#what season is it in? shhh no :) as a gift 4 college wilson gives rachel the dime she swallowed as a baby gold plated on a chain cause well#house md#gay dads hilson#h/w/c#the og ducklings

what r ur headcanons about riddler
a/n: god i have so many, i think about this little freak far too often
Edward has asthma, itâs more mild but he still has a pump that he keeps in his work bag and on his desk at home. Tried smoking once in the orphanage and never again.
He spends so much time at his desk and crouched over his computer thatâs heâs got the worst posture, sometimes heâll catch himself hunched over and jerk upright.
Is so touch starved, someone once leaned against him during rush hour on the subway and he couldnât stop thinking about how good it felt for weeks
Has some pretty bad anger issues, has these meltdowns where he yells and trashes his apartment, kicking and ripping down things from his walls.
He keeps every puzzle book heâs ever completed- actually he finds it hard to get rid of any of his possessions, he never had much in the orphanage so heâs prone to hoarding
Shops for clothes at charity shops/any where with a sale, he couldnât care less about brand names, as long as itâs comfortable and cheap.
A guilty pleasure of his is binge watching childrens movies,especially Disney. He never got to watch them as a kid so he indulges in them now. They make him smile.
A pillow hugger, curls around it especially when he was nightmares which heâs very prone to. They can get bad, lots of sweating,whimpering and yelling.
He blushes so easily. Cheeks get flushed as soon as the weather gets chilly.
Classic music on when he works.
Can cook like 2/3 meals tops. Tends to get cheap microwave/oven meals or cheap takeaway. Heâs eaten like one portion of vegetables this week.
Used to overeat straight after he got out of the orphanage, he wasnât used to all the food and was scared that if he blinked it might disappear.
Always has cup noodles in the apartment and those instant cappuccinos.
Heâs cleaned his apartment a handful of times since heâs moved in. Itâs an organised mess in there.
Has spent way too long searching eBay for vintage cards. Donât ask him about that one bidding war,heâs still not over it.
Heâs spent so much time on every corner of the internet, has knowledge on the most random things.
Likes a lot of different genres of music, anything from rage against the machine to girls generation.
Canât grow facial hair, maybe a tiny bit above his lip but nothing to write home about.
Hates being cold,reminds him of those winters in the orphanage, heâll pay the high heating bill,itâs worth it.
Terrible with confrontation, he got mugged once and went home and trashed his apartment, felt so ashamed, he hates feeling weak.
Heâs never been clubbing or to a bar, doesnât drink often but when he does he drinks something that doesnât taste like alcohol.
Was bullied a lot in the orphanage, the older boys used to scare him by telling him ghost stories (yes heâs still scared of ghosts)
Had a few good friends from the orphanage that he lost to drops.
Got the biggest rush the first time he went live, was buzzing for the whole day and couldnât stop his hands from shaking.
Doodles on the corners of pages, on napkins, anywhere he can.
Has a lot of allergies, he was a pretty sickly child. Takes his medicine when he can afford it.
The man is a total virgin, he had a few chances to lose it but was honestly petrified.
Doesnât really think about his sexuality much, if he had to put a label on it heâd say he was bisexual but he doesnât really care for labels.
#i have so many i am insane đľâđŤ#the batman#the riddler headcanons#the riddler imagine#the riddler smut#the riddler#riddler#dano riddler#the batman imagines#edward nashton imagine#edward nashton

Episode One
Do you have trouble remembering your past, so much that sometimes you wonder if you donât have one? Do you often feel like your personality is flat, and dependent upon someone else in your life? Do you have a best friend, a lover, or a child that has a unique gift or talent, but lacks the drive to use it properly? Are you something other than a straight white cis man?Â
Your life may be in danger!
Donât let yourself become just another fridged person or tragic backstory. Take your life into your own hands today, call Secondary Character Protection Services!
âNo one ever wants to admit that theyâre not in charge of their own life,â Agent DeWitt began, thumbing over the edge of the flyer. âItâs like saying that youâre not worth it. Youâre not worth the story. Youâre not worth--worth even naming. Do you know what your middle name is?â
âMy name is Kate,â the young woman across from them said. She twisted her hands, crumpling the flyer between them. âKate Jackson.â
âKate,â DeWitt repeated with a smile. âIs that short for Katherine? Did your mother pick your name, or your father?â
âI donât know.â She picked up her mug of coffee aggressively, taking a drink to buy herself time.
DeWitt smoothed out the flyer again, and set it between them. âThatâs okay. Tell me about the person in your life that made you call me.â They tapped the number at the bottom of the flyer.Â
âHeâs my boyfriend,â Kate said quietly. Her knuckles whitened on the mug handle. DeWitt offered her a packet of sugar. âHeâs--well, heâs a great guy, Agent. I love him.â
âBut?â
She shrugged, and her gaze settled somewhere above DeWittâs head. âHe was acting oddly, and I thought he might be cheating on me, so I confronted him about it. Turns out he was in some freak accident at the factory, and now he has powers over electricity. I made him an outfit to help him hide his identity. He found out that thereâs this evil woman whoâs--I donât know. Doing something terrible. He told me the less I know, the better. Itâs the only way to protect me.â
âWhatâs his superhero name heâs using?â
âPower Surge.â
DeWitt grimaced. âAnd he told you specifically, heâs not telling you anything to keep you safe? Do you know the name of the villain, at least?â
âFrosticle.â
The Agent choked on their coffee, and set it down carefully. âOh, honey.â They cleared their throat. âMs. Jackson, you are in very, very great danger. This is terrible writing.â
âYou think so?â Kate brushed her hair out of her eyes. One wayward dark curl obstinately bounced back onto her cheek. DeWitt was sure it was the same artist who put her in a shirt that cut uncomfortably low.Â
âCan I ask you, Ms. Jackson, when your boyfriend is at work, or when he is out protecting the streets at night, what do you do?â
âUsually I sit in my underwear beside the window and watch for him to come back.â
âDo you bite your lip?â
âYes. I mean, when Iâm not arching my back at odd angles so that the moonlight can hit my breasts and my ass at the same time.â
DeWitt glanced nervously towards the dinerâs large window; they half expected a rocket launcher to come flying through the glass at any moment. âIâm taking you into immediate protective custody.â
There was no sign above the Agencyâs door; in fact, there was no separate building for it. DeWitt just led Kate into a sprawling office building, passing doctorâs offices, tax preparation offices, industry offices, even a tiny closet-sized space dedicated for selling other peopleâs stuff on eBay. When they finally stopped, the door only had SCPA stenciled on its window.Â
âDo you ever get people coming here looking to adopt a kitten?â Kate asked, squinting at it for a moment.
âYeah. There are a lot of disappointed dyslexics in this town.â DeWitt unlocked the door with a swipe of their badge, then held it open to allow Kate to pass inside. The room was mostly empty, save for a single desk against one wall, and a few doors that bordered a more private office, a bathroom, and a small kitchen area. The interior walls were plastered with newspaper clippings about super occurrences from all over the greater metro area. Kate touched one of the clippings carefully.
âThis is him. This is Trent,â Kate said quietly.Â
âYou said you made his outfit, right?â
She nodded numbly, tracing her fingers along the edges of the black-and-white photo that saw Power Surge facing off against a burning building, smoke curling around him. His back was to the camera. She put her hand to her chest, and her eyes fluttered.Â
âIt shows off his arms so nicely,â she breathed. Her chest heaved, and her shirt seemed to tighten over the impossible planes of her stomach.
DeWitt groaned. âWe need to find that artist ASAP,â they muttered, and draped their suit coat over Kateâs shoulders. âCome inside and have a seat. I need to talk to my boss, and then weâll draft a plan for you. Youâre in danger of kidnapping at the very least. How long has your boyfriend been fighting this villain?â
âFrosticle,â Kate supplied.
âThatâs such a terrible name,â DeWitt whispered, but led Kate over to a white couch anyway. Kate draped herself across it, the suit coat slipping off her shoulders to pool around her elbows.Â
âTrent only just found out about her. Sheâs started freezing pipe lines leading into the upper district of the city. You know, where the big corporations are taking all the potable water and selling it?â
âWhile the poor still donât have clean drinking water downtown, yeah. Typical mirror of current events.â
âI guess so. But the pipe lines are bursting and causing huge damage to the subway system that the same people depend on, so.â She shrugged. âTrent is trying to stop her.â
DeWitt leaned against the arm of the couch thoughtfully. âI donât suppose heâs tried talking to her about it?â
âYou canât reason with someone like Frosticle. Sheâs crazy. And she hates men, so she wonât give him the time of day anyway.â
âIs that what your boyfriend told you?â
âThatâs all heâll tell me.â She sighed. Her bosom heaved. Her curly hair spilled over her shoulder. DeWitt could already see her broken and bloody on the floor, light framing her from a busted window in a clear display of martyrdom meant to make this Power Surge realize his true potential.Â
This was worse than the child sidekick they had put into witness protection three weeks ago.
âAGENT DEWITT!â The voice boomed from the corner office, and the door swung open to show a tall, broad man in a three-piece suit. He wore two eye patches, one over each eye. âTHIS IS THE CASE YOU WERE TELLING ME ABOUT? BRING HER INTO MY OFFICE!â
Kate startled, and nearly fell off the couch. She nearly fell out of her bra, too.Â
âYes, sir,â DeWitt called back, and offered her a hand up. âChief Special Agent is a little loud, but you get used to him.â
âHe has two eye patches. How does he see?â
âSometimes I think he uses his voice for echolocation. Donât worry, itâll be a short conversation. Whoever writes his dialogue only knows how to steal from motivational posters.â DeWitt led her into the office. A shiny placard repeated CHIEF SPECIAL AGENT, and there were stacks of paper on one side of the desk covered in nothing but scribbles that were supposed to reflect writing. The walls were papered with repeated images of a kitten hanging from a branch, hang in there written beneath each sad-looking cat.Â
Chief sat behind his desk, steepling his fingers and making his shoulders even more impossibly wide. Kate could have laid across them from end to end and hardly need to curl her toes to fit. DeWitt was fairly certain the artist had no idea what human proportions were.
âYOU TWO CAN SURVIVE THIS. YOU JUST HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER.â
âYes, sir,â DeWitt answered.Â
Kateâs hair disheveled from the force of Chiefâs voice.Â
âREMEMBER THERE IS NO I IN TEAM. THE CITY IS COUNTING ON YOU.â
âOf course, sir.â
âWELL, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GET BACK OUT THERE, AGENT DEWITT. YOUâRE OUR LAST HOPE.â
DeWitt escorted Kate back out of the office. The kittens swam in front of her vision.
âOur last hope?â she repeated, alarmed. âIs there some bigger danger that youâre fighting?â
They leaned back against the door with a sigh, then rubbed at their eyes a moment. Exhaustion pulled at their cheeks, before they cracked a smile. âNo, Ms. Jackson. The Chief was the first one I saved, you see. He was slated as a police chief that was the inspiration behind a cop-turned-superhero. He was only ever written to be a supportive father figure. I only narrowly got him out alive, but some of the writing stuck. He means well, and I give him the big office, otherwise he starts to get anxious. I have to try and keep him close to his script for his sake.â
Kate tugged at her curls, trying to smooth them back down. âI donât understand. How do you know all of this? And how--how are you going to save me?â
DeWitt pulled their suitcoat back up around Kateâs shoulders. âFor starters, weâre going to buy you some new clothes. Then, Ms. Jackson, weâre going to rewrite your story. Are you ready?â
*****************
No one was ever really ready to rewrite their story.Â
DeWitt stared at the pouring rain, collar of their overcoat turned up against the chill, holding a smoking cigarette in one hand. They didnât even smoke, but they had to think, and they knew this was the only way it was going to happen.Â
Kate wasnât ready. DeWitt saw it in the way she moved. She couldnât keep the sway out of her hips. She kept wetting her lips with her tongue, but her lipstick never smeared. She walked on her toes. Her back had an unnatural curve. Even DeWitt found her irresistible, and this wasnât even the story they belonged in. Hell, they didnât belong in any story.Â
âAgent DeWitt?â Kate stood in the pouring rain. Her hair stuck to her cheeks. She had followed orders and gotten a new outfit, one that was a relaxed fit and covered her from neck to ankles. Unfortunately, she had chosen a delicate and white fabric, and the downpour left it plastered to her every curve, even showing a flower-decorated bra underneath. And her jeans still hugged her hips. âAgent DeWitt, are you okay? You look--â
âBroody, I know,â they sighed. âI had to spend some time thinking, is all.â They dropped the cigarette, crushing it under heel. âAnd noir is the best way to think. Iâm sorry about the rain.â
She blinked up towards the heavy clouds. Water trickled down her face. Her makeup didnât so much as smudge. âI was thinking less broody, more mysterious. Why is the Chief a Special Agent, by the way, and youâre just an Agent?â
âThereâs nothing special about me, Ms. Jackson.â DeWitt grimaced. They were not going to be the mysterious love interest if it killed them. âI was hoping you would buy sweat pants and an oversized hoodie.â
âI could borrow one of Trentâs hoodies. I wear it all the time.â
âYeah, wearing that and just your underwear?â
Her mouth formed a perfect, innocent o. âHow did you know?â
âLucky guess.â They pushed away from the shelter of the low overhang at last, and tilted their hat against the rain. They didnât remember putting on a hat when they left. âDamn it, thereâs another one.â
âAnother what?âÂ
âContinuity error,â DeWitt explained. âMistakes that happen for the sake of the aesthetic. Here, you can stay with me tonight. Weâre going to practice changing your script.â
âYour place?â she repeated. âYou sure it wonât be putting you in danger?â
âNot at all. Like I said, youâre not in my story.âÂ
She took their arm to walk, stepping cautiously around the deeper puddles. Streetlights played across the dirty asphalt, and it took less time than it should have to reach their apartment. DeWitt guessed the artist didnât want to draw any more cityscape panels today. They could hardly blame them. Windows took too many measurements, and with the rain there would be too many dramatic reflections and ominous foreshadowing.
âThis is a cute place,â Kate remarked, toweling off her hair once they were in the safety of the apartment. âBut...thereâs only one bed. Where are you going to sleep?â
âWhat?â DeWitt dropped their cup of tea. It shattered dramatically, spilling hot water across their fingers. They swore, but the word only came out a series of asterisks. âNo, I have a two-bedroom apartment.â
Kate stared at them as if they were insane. âThis is a studio apartment, Agent. I can see everything from here. Thereâs only that one door to the bathroom, where I got this towel. You only have one bed.â
âIâll sleep on the couch,â they said through gritted teeth.
Kate looked at the empty space beside the coffee table. âWhat couch?â
They dropped their head into their arms. âFanfiction writers must be taking their turn.â With another sigh, they went to clean up the mug at last. âListen, my first story was a slow-burn romance, too. Back when I was a private investigator. I was hired by a pretty dame, and she was in heaps of trouble. Well, I did everything that I could to help her. I fell in love with her.â
âWhat happened?âÂ
DeWitt shrugged, the broken pieces of the tea cup scattering into the trash can like a broken heart. Tea dripped from their fingers. âWe slept together, and when I woke up, she was gone. She had gone outside to smoke a cigarette, and was kidnapped. Beaten to death by an enemy I didnât even know I had.â
Kate gasped. Her bosom heaved. The towel dropped from her trembling hands. âThatâs horrible.â
âWhatâs horrible is she was never even named,â DeWitt snarled, using the anger to piece themselves back together. âI called her babe. Ms. Jackson, do you know why I introduced myself to you as Agent DeWitt?â
She shook her head.Â
âI donât have a first name. Agent DeWitt is it. But at least I have a name, I have a profession, I have more than just a tight skirt and a plotline thatâs only meant to end in pain and death.â They crossed the room, and took Kateâs hands gently. âSo you are going to put on comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. You are going to sleep on the bed, alone. I am going to stare out the window all night and think of the love that I lost, because my angst will distract the writers long enough that you can get a good nightâs sleep.â
âBut...but what about Trent?â
DeWitt leaned forward to kiss her brow. The touch would be enough to satisfy for now, they hoped. âWeâll start on you and Trent in the morning. I promise.âÂ
Kateâs hands lingered on DeWittâs. She stroked her fingers across the back of their hands. âIâm sorry about your babe.âÂ
They pulled away. Somehow, the hat they kept throwing in the trash was back on, and DeWitt gave in and pulled the brim lower over their eyes, casting a long shadow across their face. âGet some rest, Ms. Jackson.â

Hot Chocolate
Pairing: Tom Holland x Reader
Warnings: Ehm... none, I think?
Summary: An afternoon walk turns interesting when you run into your ex.
A/N: I hope you enjoy this! It was fuelled by my Shirin music binge and a weekend of about no sleep. Itâs not edited, but hereâs to hoping it still makes sense!Â
Small droplets of water fell peacefully against the large tiles on the pavement. Dark clouds covered most of the sky, and the soothing sound of the rain seemed to have the same effect on the rest of southern London. The whole city just felt lazy, there was no other way to describe it.
You loved it. The British autumn had always been your favorite season. Maybe it was the memories you attached to the season, your past always seemed so much more idyllic in the cozy evenings of lazy, rainy Saturdays.
The wind was driving your hair wild. Your white beanie didnât really do much to help, but your ears were warm. You were cocooned in your red coat, hands stuffed into the large pockets. You loved everything about autumn. But the nostalgia always overtook your brain. The orange and brown leaves, flying around, close to the ground, brought back memories of long walks in the woods; soft palms and calloused fingers holding onto your own. They brought back images of bright smiles; loud laughs; hot chocolate kisses and brown eyes, watery from harsh winds.
Even with the gloomy weather, you felt giddy. You were having dinner with your best friends later that evening. It had been a while since you had seen them last. Work always managed to get in the way.
You looked up from the concrete blocks beneath your boots and noticed that you were almost at the grocery store. There was a light buzz of people around, far less than there would have been, had it not been raining. But still enough to make London feel like a city and not a commercial for the newest model of a car.
The glass doors slid open, greeting you happily with a âdingâ from the electronic bell. You had never understood how anyone could work for hours with that bell, without going insane at some point.
Normally white aisles were covered in brown water streaks, and the sound of shrieking shoes clashed against your eardrums. A single overhead light flickered inconsistently, dawning the place in a midnight atmosphere. Muffled conversations could be heard throughout the store, and everything was exactly as it should be.
Your eyes fluttered along the aisles, searching for the products you needed. In fact, you didnât really need anything, nor did you want anything. But you had been sitting at home, with a cup of tea, and something had just told you that you needed to get out of the house. Your gut was probably right about that; you had been holed up at your flat, working tirelessly on a work project for days.
In fact, it had been a long while, since the last time you had taken time to just wander around the city. The electronic bell rang once again, and you moved from the dairy section towards drinks. Row after row of differing teas, differently processed coffee beans, and of course what you were there for; the hot chocolate.
"Y/N?" Your hand stills in the air, freezing where it was reaching for a box of hot chocolate powder. Silently you let out a breath of air, squeezing your eyes shut, wishing that the voice was only your imagination. You relax the muscles in your arm, and it falls gently down your side. With a last quick breath, you open your eyes, and sure enough there he is.
Brown boots, the same ones he wore all that time ago, you can tell by the small green stain near the ankle. That was your paint, you remembered that day vividly. Flashes of wide smiles, flying paint, and empty canvases. Hugs from behind kisses on paint covered noses and laughs that you could only relive in your dreams.
Acid wash denim jeans, ripped at the knees, just the way he preferred it. But you knew those jeans, and the holes weren't artificial. They had torn during the many days you had spent together, hurting yourself on the highest branches in the tallest tree in the forest behind his house.
The black coat was new, but that made sense, considering how he always managed to forget his coat somewhere ridiculous. You remembered how confused you had been, when he was sitting at your dinner table, admitting with red cheeks, and downwards cast eyes, that he had forgotten it at a magazine interview. Later that evening you had found it for sale on eBay.
Your eyes finally reached his, and the familiar warm feeling arose in your gut. They were autumn brown. Whenever you had told him that, as whispered confessions, he laughed at you. He didn't get it, he never got how you could see an entire season in just his eyes. How his eyes always reminded you of wet tree trunks, fallen leaves, and hot chocolate. You remembered why autumn was your favorite season.
His hair was a curly mess on the top of his head, blown through by the wind, and your fingers itched to run through it. Clenching your fist, you smiled at him.
"Tom," his mouth quirked up in a smile at the sound of his name rolling through your lips. "I didn't know you were in town."
"No... No, I'm, ehm." He took a step closer to you, lifting the item in his hand. "I'm only in town to take care of my mum." The packet of kleenex was balanced perfectly between his fingers, and you could almost feel them running through your hair.
"Yeah.. she mentioned that she was coming down with a cold." A low chuckle whisked through the aisle. You raised an eyebrow at him, but couldn't help the smile that emerged on your own lips.
"Sorry, I just find it a little strange that my mum still talks to my ex-girlfriend." The small smile that had decorated his face oh so effortlessly, disappeared and was immediately replaced by a small frown. Ouch. You had never really thought about it that way. In your mind, he wasn't really your ex-boyfriend. You didn't know what he was, but that word always felt... too real.
With a reluctant nod, you shuffled on your feet, watching the water on the floor move with your movement.
"If you're not busy, we could go for a cup of hot chocolate." His eyes were warm again, flittering across your face in that special Tom Holland way, that made your breath catch in your throat.
"Yeah," you felt the warmth in your stomach spread upwards, into your cheeks, and you felt the sudden need to hide your blushing face from him. You didn't. "Yeah, I would like that."
While Tom ended up buying the Kleenex, you came out the store empty handed. The weather was still gloomy outside, but the wind had stilled a bit. As you walked, you couldn't help but notice the distance between the two of you. Had it been only a year prior, there wouldn't have been so much as a centimeter between you, fingers intertwined and arms tangled. Even mentally, the distance wouldn't have been there. You would have laughed about something stupid that happened to him on set or whatever funny thing your little brother and Patty had been up to.
But the air was filled with small talk, the kind you hated. How's work? Where do you live now? How did that one project work out? How's your grandma? Oh, she passed I'm so sorry.
You couldn't stand it. Any of it. Neither the distance nor the fact that the distance wasn't big enough. Your mind was a clutter. Happy memories were thrown in with the sad. You knew that you should just walk away, never look back on something that took you so long to get over, while the other part of you wanted to rekindle something that once was.
Tom came to a sudden stop and you almost bumped into him. You were on the corner of two quiet streets, this had been one of your favorite spots in the world. Once upon a time, it had been your spot.
Upon seeing your hesitation, Tom brought his hand to the back of his neck, scratching slowly right where you remembered his curls meeting his skin. "Is this okay? If not we can go somewhere else." His hair was getting darker from the rain, so you just nodded with a quick smile.
"No, no." You looked up at the place, white and orange flowers littering the walls, and the inviting warm light coming from the windows. "This is great." Deciding, that you might as well enjoy this, rather than comply to the annoyingly persistent butterflies in your stomach, you cast him a grin, before making your way up the steps, and inside the warm cafe.
"Y/N, Tom! It's so nice to see you again." Michelle, the nice middle-aged lady greeted you. "It's been so long." She smiled at the both of you, happiness shining through her blue eyes. The greying hair fell down to her shoulders in large curls, and the "Star Baker!" apron, was tied tightly around her waist. God, you had missed her.
You didn't fight your sudden urge to hug her, so you quickly sidestepped the disk and brought her in for a hug, which was gladly returned.
"My goodness child, you're all wet." Despite the slight disgust in her voice, a happy laugh bubbled out of her. Â "I'll make up the usual for you, then I can take your coats to dry."
"Michelle, you don't have to that." Tom smiled at the woman, holding his arms out for a hug. Michelle let go of you and ran around to the other side of the disk and straight into his arms. As your eyes met Tom's, you quickly looked down at the ground, ashamed that you wanted to run into his arms too.
As the woman took your orders, and then coats through the protesting, you and Tom sat down at your usual table. Right next to the western window, looking out over the small courtyard that accompanied the cafe. You sat there, silence emerging around you. It had been a good ten minutes before your order came, and still, neither of you had said a word.
"I'm sorry." He finally broke it, eyes on the mug of hot chocolate in his hands. "I've wanted to say that for a year now." He looks up, meeting your eyes again, and your shoulders straighten up slightly at the sorrow-filled look in his eyes.
"I'm not gonna pretend that I didn't need to hear that." You say, voice quiet, scared that Michelle will find out that her favorite customers have broken up. "Can I talk?" You look intently into his eyes, searching them for any form of hesitation, you only find regret.
"I was angry at you for so long. So long! What you did, I never imagined it would hurt as much as it did." Again your eyes fell towards the mug in your own hands, running your index finger on the rim, before glancing back up at him. "Do you remember that night?"
:o:o:
The sky was littered with stars above the two of you. You were lying on the red picnic blanket, on the balcony of your flat. Every once in a while one of you would point towards the sky, fixated on showing the other a star, that in one way or another reminded you of something. For the most part, you would concentrate on finding the satellites.
Your ear was laid against the left side of his chest, listening to the soothing sound of his strong heartbeat. You could feel him exhale his breath on the top of your head. As you lied there, you felt unbelievably calm, overwhelmingly safe and undeniably happy.
If anyone had asked you, a couple of years prior if you would ever find the love of your life, you would have told them off. Back then you didn't believe in something as silly as the love of your life, even love was such a strange concept to you. In your mind, sharing everything you were with someone else seemed completely ridiculous.
You hated being proved wrong, but Tom showed up, and you had never been so thankful for it. Ever. He had turned your world upside down, and suddenly the world made sense. It was like you had experienced the world wrong side up all your life, and then there he was. You could finally sing along to love songs without feeling like you were weird for not understanding what they were singing about.
"I could get used to this." You said as you cuddled closer to Tom, planting a soft kiss right beneath his ear. To your surprise he clenched his jaw, turning his head to look you in the eye.
"Y/N..." His eyes turned mournful in the mere span of a second. It was a punch to your gut, and as a knee-jerk reaction, you sat up, looking down at him. He looked like an angel lying there, right beside you, one hand on your thigh, and the other beneath his head. Brown curls spread out over the blanket, and eyes reflected the stars above him. He's so beautiful, and you slowly felt the tears well up in your eyes. Why... why would he ever make your name sound that sad?
"No... Don't" You feel a sob rise up your throat. "Please don't." He sat up with you. As gently as he could, he pulled you into a hug, slightly awkward from the weird angle. You leaned your head against his shoulder, letting the tears roll out of your eyes and onto his white shirt. "Please." You whispered in a desperate attempt to make him stop doing what you knew he was about to do.
"Promise you'll always remember me." He whispered into your ear, and your heart shattered completely. How could that voice, that voice that you loved so much, hurt like nothing else ever had?
"Don't make me promise that." You straightened up, tangling your hand with his, "People only as you to remember them if they're planning to leave." Your voice was so quiet, if it weren't for the ragged breath he drew in you wouldn't have known whether he heard you or not. "If you're planning to leave please don't ask me to remember it."
:o:o:
He nodded, and you take in a sharp breath, like a knife scratching the insides of your lungs.
"I get it. I didn't then, but I get it now." You look him directly in the eye, and god you miss him. "In a way, you were doing me a favor. At least that's what you told yourself wasn't it?" He opened his mouth, preparing to answer you, but you shook your head, quickly continuing. "You see, what hurt wasn't really that you broke up with me, not even how you did it, even though doing it on an anniversary wasn't your best idea, it was the fact that you made a decision, that I should have been part of."
"Y/N, I didn't want you to have to deal with me traveling so much, we would never have time to see each other. I thought what I did was better than the alternative." He pushed his mug to the side, intertwining his hands, and laying them on the table, eyes fixated on you.
"The alternative? You mean talking to me about it? Finding out that I had just talked to my boss, and come to an agreement that would have made it possible for me to travel with you. You mean the alternative? Like the fact that your mother was so excited when I told her that I was ready to marry you if you asked?" You let out a huff of frustration, and you catch a glimpse of the confusion flashing through Tom's eyes.
"You really think this is better than the alternative? Angry hot chocolate, in a cafe we both used to love. We could have been in love, but you decided we were better off being strangers."
"I... I didn't know."
"Obviously not!" The anger boiled in the pit of your stomach, and your hands were clenched around the fragile porcelain. "I appreciate you saying sorry, but it doesn't really do me any good now."
"I'm so so so sorry." His voice was softer, probably softer than you had ever heard it be, and it calmed you down immediately.
"Listen, I can't sit here and pretend that I have forgiven you completely, and I'm not even sure I can sit here pretending to be friends." He leans back in his seat, eyes focused on you like they have been almost the entire time, burning holes through you.
The silence took over again, the both of you just sitting there, coming to the realization that it's over.
"If you ever find it in you to forgive me... please call me." He's sincere, even if Tom's an amazing actor, he could never fake that tone in his voice. You knew that because it had always been reserved just for you. "I'm willing to wait for you."
You don't know how to answer, so you opt on not answering at all. Nodding quickly and standing up. The mug is still in your hand, and you retrieve your now dry coat, before walking back to Tom. You set the mug down on the table. "Thank you, Tom." You smile, maybe a small smile, but you're emotionally drained so you take it as a victory. And with a final look at the love of your life, you let go of the hot chocolate.

5,000 Question Survey--Part twenty-two
Uh... so I found this in my drafts. Apparently, I went from part twenty-one to twenty-three, skipping right over this one. So... here it is. Out of order. Iâm leaving what I had answered already, so the answers arenât current until 2053. Not that it matters, but yeah.
2001. Can you believe that we have only gotten through two fifths of this survey so far? Iâd probs be further along, but itâs taken me awhile. I forgot about it for a bit.
2002. What is your opinion of Dave Coulier? I donât really have much of an opinion on him. I know him from Full House, but thatâs it. Oh, and that he dated Alanis Morrisette, which her song, âOughta Knowâ is about. 2003. If you were to a write a Choose Your Own Adventure book, what would it be about? I used to love those books as a kid! They were fun. I donât know, what kind I would write. Probably a mystery one like the ones I used to read. 2004. What was your best find from a flea market, garage sale, ebay or thrift store? I havenât gotten anything from any of those things/places. 2005. What do you not have enough money for right now?

Iâm also like Piglet because Iâm anxious and scared of everything. 2064. When do you do your best thinking? In the shower or while lying out on the beach. 2065. What motivates you? Nothing. :/ 2066. Look back at all the people you've dated. Has there been a pattern? Thereâs only been two, so. I canât really make any patterns out of that. 2067.

Is divorce something you would ever consider or do you feel that marriage is permanantly binding? If I ever got married, and things just werenât working out after we tried working on our marriage and used the resources and help available to us, then divorce would be the next step.

Sometimes it might seem like other people have it all figured out and donât have many problems, but truth is you just never really know what someone is going through. I guess; though, because we are the ones experiencing our life and the difficulties we face, it may seem more difficult in comparison sometimes just cause itâs your reality.

If you called one of your friends and they said "It's nothing personal but I don't want to talk to anyone right now," would you take it personally?

15 political Halloween costumes that aren't Donald Trump
On behalf of tired Americans across the country, I am begging you, please do not wear a mask of Donald Trump's face as a Halloween costume this year. You know the ones.
With all the seemingly endless, unhinged madness that's taken place over the past two years, it makes sense why you'd want to wear to political costume. But we promise you can do better.
Aside from being truly creepy, Donald Trump masks are too easy. They're cop outs. So to help you step up your Halloween game we've compiled a list of creative, politically relevant ensembles for you to choose from â none of which are the president!Â
SEE ALSO: 10 meme Halloween costumes for people who spend too much time online
From Trump's favorite foods, to noteworthy White House personas, popular political memes, and more, here are 15 Halloween costumes to inspire you this year.
1. Lawn boy
Image: MIKE THEILER/AFP/Getty Images
Ah, lawn boy, one of the most consistently satisfying memes to come out of Trump's time in office.
The iconic photo of Trump yelling at a child while he mows the White House lawn was captured in Sept. 2017 after 11-year-old Frank 'FX' Giaccio wrote a letter to Trump and offered to mow the lawn of the Rose Garden. The moment was instantly transformed into a Trump Screaming Meme, which resurfaces any time a big piece of political news drops and always delivers.
To channel your inner lawn boy this Halloween you'll need a red short-sleeve polo, khaki shorts, black shoes, some protective goggles, gloves, and of course, a lawn mower.
2. Pee tape
Another creative costume option in Trump's America is the mysterious and highly sought after "pee tape."
For those of you unfamiliar with this political reference to bodily fluids, the term "pee tape" relates to a 35-page document published by BuzzFeed that claimed Trump paid a group of sex workers to perform "golden showers" (urinating) in front of him in his hotel room.
It's since been suggested that Trump's rumored night in the hotel was captured on video tape, but no one knows if the tape really exists or what it would look like. You know what that means? Costume options.
Should you choose to dress as a pee tape, there are several homemade avenues you could take. You can go the classic route and create a costume that resembles a VHS tape.

Or do a fun play on caution tape.

And of course there's always a Scotch Tape dispenser costume with a slight "pee" adjustment. So many possibilities.

If you'd like to learn more about the pee tape before committing to the costume, we invite you to check out our very thorough explainer. Also, we're sorry.
3. Fake news
Fake news is a term near and dear to President Trump's heart â one which he uses regularly to describe the media and even claims he coined himself.
A variety of Fake News t-shirts, dresses, jackets, and more are already available on Amazon, but if you're in the mood to make you're own costume you can always use Donald Trump Jr.'s personal wardrobe for inspiration. đ
I'm going to have to buy 5-10,000 of these to pass around to our buddies in the #MSM. In the meantime I'll model it for themđ. #yourewelcome pic.twitter.com/Hnn3Z5Pspm
â Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) April 15, 2017
4. A pickle
This pickle costume takes a bit of explaining, but it's political. We promise.Â
After a particularly controversial news week in August 2017, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders decided to distract angry Americans mid-press conference by reading letters to Trump from kids around the country.
One of these letters was from a 9-year-old named Dylan who claimed he loved the president so much he had a Trump-themed birthday party. Dylan also said his nickname was "Pickle," which led to a whole bunch of memes and many people questioning the letter's authenticity. Turns out Pickle was real and that's how we arrived here.

5. Pete Souza
Pete Souza, former White House photographer for President Obama dedicated to throwing shade at Trump on Instagram, is also a perfect last-minute political costume.
Just strap a camera around your neck and you're basically good to go. Maybe add a suit and tie to give off an important "I'm with the president" vibe, and if you really want to sell it you can carry around a copy of his book Obama: An Intimate Portrait, or wear some patriotic shutter shades as a nod to his upcoming book cover.

6. Super chill Beto O'Rourke
Beto O'Rourke has brought some much needed coolness to Texas politics, and for that we shall thank him by including him in this list.
As you've probably learned from the GOP's failed attempt to smear his reputation, Beto was once in a punk band, enjoys skateboarding, and lives to order food from Whataburger. (Excellent taste, dude!) So grab a skateboard, a bass guitar, and invest in a Whataburger t-shirt, and BOOM. You're Beto!
youtube
7. Edgy Ted Cruz
Unfortunately, where there's a cool, laid back Beto, there's also an edgy Ted Cruz with zero chill. So if you're in the mood to be ~the worst~ this Halloween, consider dressing up as Beto's political opponent. But don't just wear any Ted Cruz costume, transform yourself into the "bad boy" tattoo-covered Cruz from conservative artist Sabo.
Someone at the Rockwall County Republican Party thought this poster was a good idea pic.twitter.com/bldDiioJfU
â Ron DOV (@rez512) August 30, 2018
8. Toad (sorry)
As much as it pains me to bring up the cursed moment in history when Stormy Daniels described Donald Trump's "unusual" penis, for the sake of Halloween 2018, I must.
In September, The Guardian published a peek at Daniels' tell-all Full Disclosure, in which she said Trump's penis has "a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstoolâŚ" She went on to describe Trump as having "Yeti pubes and a dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart." And that, friends, is how Toad was unwillingly dragged into this year's political narrative.
This Halloween, you can dress in a full Toad costume or just a mask to really give some nightmares.

9. *Two scoops* of ice cream
Welcome to the food and drink portion of this list, where we explore three of Donald Trump's most quirky and particular culinary preferences. First up, ice cream! But not just any ice cream... two scoops of ice cream.
It was once reported that three journalists dining with Trump received a slice of chocolate pie with a single scoop of vanilla ice cream, but Trump, a spoiled big boy got two. So if you choose this costume, you must be pretty important.
Image: amazon
10. 12 cans of Diet Coke
If you're looking for costumes for an overwhelmingly large group of people, might we suggest gathering a dozen of your closest friends and dressing up as 12 cans of Diet Coke â the number of cans Trump reportedly drinks. eBay has a pretty extensive selection of Diet Coke can apparel â from dresses to larger 3D cylindrical costumes â and you can always bust out some DIY action to save money.
Donald Trump's favorite drink! A great group costume.

13. Steak & ketchup
Looking for a romantic couple costume in Trump's America? According to the president nothing goes better together than steak and ketchup. But please, make sure the steak costume is well-done.
Image: mashable composite: target and walmart
14. Skeleton in MAGA hat
If you want to send some love Trump's way but aren't in the mood to show your face, let these morph suit-wearing White House trick-or-treaters inspire you. Truly what could be more terrifying than a skeleton in a MAGA hat?
Image: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
15. The "This is Fine" meme
Artist KC Green's comic featuring a dog in a cute lil hat surrounded by flames has essentially become a national distress symbol in 2018. So why not dress as it? Conjure up a puppy costume, grab a mug, a hat, and maybe some makeshift flames and get ready to spend the day religiously reciting, "This is Fine."
If all else fails and you're strapped for time and resources, you can always play it simple by throwing a sheet over your head, fashioning a name tag, and saying you're the ghost of one of the many people who no longer work at the White House.
Good luck out there, people.
