Chapter 18

February 14, 2023

“Are those yummy?” you say watching your son eat his heart shaped pancakes. “How about you eat some of the fruit though bud” you joke.

“He has maple syrup, why would he eat fruit” Fred laughs over Facetime.

When he has been at home you have been spending some time as a family, but you still have nights apart at your own apartments. You have been at your apartment recently, as he is on the third day of his road trip.

You haven’t discussed labels, but you have been talking on the phone more than normal. While it wasn’t unusual for you to Facetime during road trips so he could see Oliver, it was uncommon for him to call multiple times a day, or when he knows Oliver is asleep just to catch up with him, but this had become the norm during this road trip.

“Yeah I should have given him the pancakes after, but these are super cute” you explain tilting the phone for Fred to see.

“Not as cute as my Valentine though” you say “I mean he has syrup on his face, smushed blueberry in his hair, strawberry juice has dribbled down his chin onto his chest. Every girls dream.” you place a kiss on Oliver’s cheek.

“Thought you don’t like Valentine’s Day. Two years ago you told me it was a stupid glorified holiday” he says.

“I believe I said restaurants, flowers, chocolate weren’t the real meaning of the day. Not that it was stupid” you explain when you hear a knock at the door. “I’ll be right back someone is at the door.”

A couple minutes later you walk back in to the room carrying a bouquet of white lilies.

“So you remember I said flowers aren’t the meaning of Valentine’s Day, but you still bought me some" you say setting the gorgeous bouquet on the counter.

“Not from me, maybe you should check the tag” he says. You reach over and pull the tag and read it.

You laugh slightly “I see you found a loop hole.” You hold the tag up “these are from Oliver.”

“Wow so thoughtful of him” Fred jokes. “Anything else come with them?”

“No, just this. Why?”

“No reason. I have to go to morning skate, talk to you later. Bye Ollie, love you.”

You continue on with your day, a few hours later you are watching it snow when there is a knock at the door. You open to find 3 different sized boxes waiting for you. They are all neatly wrapped in white paper, with a silver bow.

You take a picture and send it to Fred.

(Y/N): this just arrived at me place. Any idea what they are?

F: Nope. Not from me 🤷‍♂️

(Y/N): Guess I will just open them now :)

F: Just wait for me to finish dinner then we can open them.

(Y/N): Hurry up or I will sneak a glance ;)

An hour later you finish putting Oliver to bed when you feel your phone vibrate in your pocket.

“Hey” you whisper

“Hey, why are you whispering?”

“Just put Oliver to bed" you whisper turning the camera to face him so Fred can see him sleeping in his Penguins pyjamas.

“He was up a little late today”

“Yeah he was protesting bedtime, it was a fun night. How was dinner?” you ask. Fred sets the phone against the wall and begins to tell you about his evening. You are paying attention until you notice Fred is getting changed from his dinner outfit. You watch Fred unbuckle his belt, and pull his pants down leaving him in his boxers. You stare at his thick thighs, a soft moan slips from your mouth as he bends over, grabbing a pair of pants from his bag.

He quickly turns around as a blush creeps over your cheeks, “checking me out?”

“No I wasn’t” you quickly lie.

“No need to be shy” he says holding the phone up to his face.

“I uh, I was -"

“You’re cute when you’re flustered.”

“Can I open my Valentine’s Day gifts now” you ask trying to change the subject.

He laughs “for someone who doesn’t like Valentine’s Day gifts you are awfully excited.”

“I never said I don’t like presents. I just don’t think they are necessary, and on point with the day. But they are here so I can’t let them go to waste.”

Fred chuckles “okay go ahead, what one do you want to open first?”

“Oooh I want to open the big box first!” you exclaim grabbing the box.

He laughs “okay, that’s something for when I get back”

You slide the bow off before removing the sparkly white paper. You open the lid to the box and peel back the white tissue paper and see black lace crotchless lingerie with garters. You clench your legs together thinking of how you’ll definitely need your favourite toy later that night. “I see" you clear your throat “and uh, when will you be back?”

Fred chuckles “5 days.”

“Hmph. That’s so long” you wine.

“You’re telling me. I have to spend the next 5 days thinking of what you’ll look like in that.” That causes you to laugh slightly “I want the little one now” you say tearing the paper off and opening the box. You pull out 2 different size plugs. Fred laughs “that’s a just in case present.”

You raise an eyebrow “in case you want to, you know” he pauses as a blush crosses his face.

“Do that again?” you continue as he smiles nodding.

“It was fun last time" he finally adds in.

You smile at him “Yeah it was” you say reminiscing the last time; you can feel yourself soaking through your underwear. Its crazy how just a few words or his brown eyes glancing at you can have you falling apart. “Okay now the last one"

“The really fun one" he says. You tear off the paper before holding it up to the camera. “So I know you take care of yourself, I heard you through the door last Christmas.” A blush creeps across your face soft oh leaves your lips.

“Don’t be shy skat, it’s hot. When I think of what you’re doing without me I immediately get hard. But I want to take care of you when I’m on the road, or those nights when you opt to not hang out with me, I want to show you what you are missing out on.”

He pulls his phone into the screen “I’m talking to you on my tablet. Now get into bed so I can treat you right.”

You give him a questioning look as he pulls his phone into the cameras view. “It is Bluetooth and I have the app on my phone, I set it all up before I left.”

“How are you going to use this and talk to me?” you ask.

You listen running down the hall to your room. You close the door and set him on the side table while you take your shorts and underwear off and climb in. You are so excited you are practically dripping down your legs. “Shirt babe” Fred says. You peel the shirt over your head and unclasp your bra freeing your tits.

“Fuck I love your tits” he says through the screen as you run your hand over one, gently playing with the nipple. You stare at Fred through the screen, as you rub your nipple through your fingers. You continue to massage yourself keeping eye contact; Fred pulls his boxers off freeing himself. You hear his hard member slap against his stomach before he grabs himself in his large hand and begins stroking himself.

“I wish this was your hand” you moan “or your mouth.”

“Fuck, me too babe. Move the camera" you lower it to closer to your core where you know he wants to see. “You wet?”

“Mhm I’m soaked. I have been since you took your pants off” you say bringing the toy down and sliding it along your folds a few times lathering it in your juice.

“I knew you were looking" he says chuckling as you grin “slide it in.” You oblige and push it in as your breath catches in your throat, you hear Fred groan through the screen. The vibration start to turn on, you feel some different paces and patterns as you moan loudly.

“Ohh” you moan loudly as a very fast pace starts, then you feel it slow down. Fred plays around with the settings trying to determine what you like best.

“Set me up so I can watch your face and you pussy. I want to watch will I destroy you” he says into the phone.

“Fuck” you mutter while you bring the camera beside you propping it on the table. Fred is stroking himself at a faster pace while staring directly at you; you feel the vibrations become very intense.

“Babe if you do that I’m not going to last" you say as Freddie grins.

“You’ve never said no to two before" he smirks. “You’re close eh?”

The vibration becomes even more intense as you cry out as your orgasm tears through you. Your hands grip the bedsheet, knuckles going white. You almost pass out it’s so intense; you whisper Fred’s name and various curse words.

He keeps the pace on high until you come around from your orgasm. He lowers the speed slightly, but it’s still a lot for your sensitive cunt.

“Fred” you pant “it’s to…I need…fuck” you moan the pace increasing slightly preventing you from forming a coherent thought.

“No it’s fine; I know you can handle it.”

“No. Fred. Fuck” you scream your legs sliding on the bed.

You feel your second orgasm approaching, still not recovered from the last one. You close your eyes and moan loudly indicating you are very close when you hear Fred “not yet, wait for me"

Your eyes snap open and you look to the screen and see Fred pumping himself. “You have you wait for me.” The vibrations change slightly

“I can’t” you whine.

“Wait for me" he snaps, vigorously pumping himself.

“I wish that was me" you say trying to bring his high faster. He looks to your eyes “wish it was my pussy wrapped around you. That you would finish deep inside me, filling me with your warmth.”

You hear him mutter Danish curse words. Your high is so close and you will do anything to get him to his when you feel the pace speed up to the highest setting.

Your head falls back as you groan, gripping the bedsheet, your toes curling. “Fuck" you spit out as you clench around the toy. You are unable to hold it back, but you don’t care. Your legs shake as you clench the sheets tight; a loud moan leaves your lips. You look into the screen just as Fred reaches his climax, Danish curse words spewing from his lips as white ribbons spill onto his stomach.

“That was" you start to say out of breath, as your eyes are shut.

“Fred” you moan, the toy is still inside you vibrating inside you. You expect him to turn the toy off, but instead you feel the vibrations changing. Different rhythms and patterns pulse inside you, you are so sensitive you reach down to pull it out but are unable to focus enough.

You feel the vibrations slow down and you finally open your eyes and look at Fred. Your hand reaches and grabs the end of the toy “no don’t” Fred says through the phone.

“What?” you ask. “I don’t think… there was two…I can’t” you whine. The vibrations are on a low setting, but you can still feel it inside your walls.

“If you really can’t I’ll turn it off skat. But I know you and your body, if I was there you would be having another” he says moving closer to the camera.

“We both know you can” he smirks at you. “The first night you had 4, and you’ve done it a few times since then too.”

“Freddie” you groan your tone more stern than before.

You take a deep breath; you didn’t even notice that the speed of the toy had picked up its speed inside you until you moan loudly and grip the sheets. “I knew you wanted another” he says. “Move the phone lower for me skat I want to watch.”

You pant looking at him, still feeling the slight vibrations from inside you. He smirks at you before continuing “the first one would have been my mouth. I would have licked up your folds a few times before slipping my tongue inside you. I would lick up inside your walls and suck on your clit, my face pressed hard into you.”

“Fuck” you mumble as Fred keeps talking. “I would take my time drawing your orgasm from you, your juices finally dripping down my face. Just as you recover I would slip my fingers in you. They would be curled deep inside you hitting your g-spot. They would be moving fast, your second orgasm quickly approaching.”

You oblige and move the phone down “Freddie” you groan. “What else would you be doing to me?” you ask.

A devilish grin comes across his face, and a chuckle leaves his lips. “Well after you finish on my fingers, soaking them in your cum I would stop them inside you, giving you a minute to relax. When your breathing has returned to normal I would pull my fingers from you, drawing a light whimper from your lips.”

The vibrations have increased to a fast pace, your legs squirming slightly. “Then I would slip inside of you, pumping slowly in…”

“No fast” you cry out “faster Freddie!”

You feel the toy increase to the fastest speed of the night as he continues to talk to you. You don’t hear any words he is saying as the ball deep in your stomach begins to bubble up. You hear a few words as you try to hold the phone steady for Freddie to watch you. Your third and final orgasm comes, exploding from you.

“Oh my god” you whisper when you refocus and realize the toy has stopped, you slowly pull it out of you and take a few deep breaths.

“Skat” you hear and you pull the phone up to look at him and see it is covered in a sticky mess. “You squirted babe” he chuckles. You think for a second before realizing what he said and what is coating your screen.

“Oh my god” you bring your other hand to your face trying to hide the embarrassment.

“(Y/N/N) don’t hide your face that was fucking hot” he says as you bring your arm down and attempt to clean your screen. “We’re definitely doing that tomorrow night” he says causing you to laugh, but also agree.

“Hey” you squeal jumping into Fred’s arms as he drops his bag at the door to catch you. His strong arms wrap around you as he carries you to the couch, you peppering his jaw and neck with kisses. He sits down as you cuddle into his arms “missed you too” he laughs, kissing you on the lips.

He played a game in North Carolina and as soon as he got off the plane he came right to your place to see you and Oliver. He told you the trip was really long, and he didn’t want to wait until the following morning to see either of you.

He brushes the hair from your face gently “you didn’t have to wait up for me” he says seeing your heavy eyes. “Yes I did, you don’t have a key” you say groggily snuggling in closer.

“Well go to bed dear; I’ll be there in a bit. Just going to unwind a bit.”

“No, I’m want to stay here with you, I missed you it was a really long road trip” you sigh “and you smell really good.” He chuckles kissing your head, he strokes your hair as you doze off. You stir slightly an hour later when Fred shifts under you. You look up at him as you lean in closer and wrap your hand around his neck. “I was trying not to wake you" he says carrying you bridal style to bed.

He gently places you on the bed and pulls the duvet up over you. He crawls in beside you and gently kisses your lips before you fall back asleep.

“Is that yummy bud?” you ask as he is eating cheerios with his hands, slobber everywhere.

“Dadda” Oliver says smiling. Fred walks over and picks him up “Hey Ollie, I missed you so much little man” he gives him multiple kisses on his cheeks causing Oliver to laugh.

Fred puts him back in his highchair and looks to you seeing the massive smile on your face. “What” he asks.

“Nothing that was just really cute” you explain sipping your coffee.

“I am pretty cute” he jokes pouring himself a coffee. “I ordered dinner for tonight. Thought we could have a family dinner, I’m off today...”

You kiss him on the cheek “sounds perfect.”

Later that night you stand in your closet looking for an outfit. It’s just a night in with the three of you, but you haven’t seen him in so long. You plan on wearing the lingerie Fred bought you and consider dressing up but ultimately settle on something simple, opting for leggings and a sweater.

Before pulling your leggings you open the box with the two plugs Fred bought for you. You coat one in lube and gently slide it in, moaning at the feeling before pulling your leggings on overtop your lingerie. During dinner Fred tells you stories about the road trip and you try to listen, but most of your attention is focused on the feeling of your ass. Oliver babbles to himself, likely inputting more to the conversation than you do.

After dinner Fred takes Oliver to bed and you pull off your clothes, leaving you in your lingerie. He walks into the kitchen to get a drink without looking to you in the living room. “You alright (Y/N/N) you seemed distracted tonight.” He questions finally looking to you “fucking hell” he mumbles “didn’t think this would look this good.” You laugh as his lips crash into your capturing you in a sloppy kiss.

His hands slide gently down your back, grazing your ass. You shutter as he grazes the plug you have inserted. “You’re killing me babe" he groans as you raise your eyebrow to him.

He immediately rids himself of his pants and you see how tight his boxers are, his erection straining his fabric.

“Miss me babe?” you question innocently.

He drops his boxers, his cock springing free as he sits down pulling you onto his lap. He pushes two fingers in gently to your folds “you have no idea” he slowly fucks you on his fingers allowing you to adjust to the feeling with a plug in.

He picks you up and brings you to the bedroom, you see him gulp as he turns you around. His hand caresses your ass a few times before he gently pulls the plug out of you, setting it on your dresser. He pushes you forward to the bench at the end of your bed. He slides his two fingers back inside of you, pumping them in and out. He pulls his fingers out and you spread your legs. Your brace yourself on the bench as he slides into you, his fingers dance near your sensitive hole.

He bottoms out before almost pulling completely out, his hands tightly grip your hips as he pulls you back onto you. You moan loudly as he pumps in and out of you. “Fuck babe” he groans pulling you back, your ass hitting his pelvis.

He reaches around to pull your breast, pulling the fabric down. He massages it and pinches your nipple, all while continuing to thrust into you. He moves his hand up to grip your throat and he pulls you up closer to him. Your back is pressed against him as he bites into your neck. You groan loudly as your orgasm comes over you. You thought your legs were going to give out as you spasm around him.

Fred keeps his pace pounding into you, his hand wrapped tightly around your throat. He releases your throat bringing his hand back to your hips, you feel him getting sloppy behind you as he pushes hard into you. He spills deep inside you, his fingers digging into your hips holding you in place.

He stayed inside you for a minute before finally pulling out of you; you collapse on the bench as Fred falls onto the bed beside you. He brushes your hair from your eyes and smiles at you “you’re incredible you know that?” he questions lightly.

He slides down the bed, his face in line with yours. He kisses you passionately; you finally pull away push on the bench to get up. Fred quickly grabs your wrist and brings it to his semi-hard member. You smile and take him in your hand stroking him up and down; you bring your lips to his and kiss him. As you lean in further Fred pulls away from you and gets out of bed. You look at him confused as he places his hand on your back and pulls your lingerie down your thighs. You move to roll onto your back, but Fred firmly grips your hips holding you in place.

“You didn’t think we were done did you?” he questions running his hand down your spine and over your ass. His finger dances around your hole “you got this all ready for me skat” gripping your ass tighter. “Be a shame to let it go to waste eh?” he questions as a whimper leaves your lips. He moves to the side table and grabs the bottle of lube, when he returns you have lowered your face to the bench sticking your ass out for him.

Fred chuckles as he coats your hole slowly pumping his finger in your hole. He pulls his finger out and you feel his tip nudge your hole, he slowly pushes in you and you cry out gripping the bench.

“You okay?” he asks stilling inside you.

“Yes. I’m so good” you hiss, you feel Fred slowly pull out and rock back into you. He sets a slow pace; gently pulling you back onto him, pumping in and out with ease. “Babe” you groan pushing yourself back fully. You pull forward and begin to increase the speed of your hips, Fred notices and his speed matches yours.

“You feel so good” he mumbles thrusting in you. His grip is firm, his nails digging crescents into your hips. Your knuckles go white as you tightly grip the bench below you; you begin to feel your walls tightening around him.

“Fuck babe, you close?” Fred asks feeling you tightening around him. You whine out in response as your head falls onto the bench while he rocks into you. His pace is fast, and you can feel him becoming sloppy behind you.

Your pleasure is building up, and you feel waves of pleasure coming over you. Your face is rubbing against the fabric of the bench as your ass contracts around Fred.

“Fuck smuk” you hear behind you as Fred pulls out. You collapse on the bench and you feel warm ribbons coat your back and ass. You lay there for a minute when you feel Fred pick you up and carries you to the bathroom turning on the shower. He gently strips your remaining lingerie off of you, your legs are still uneasy so Fred holds you in place, peppering you with kisses on your neck and jaw. He pulls you into the shower; your arms snaked around his neck for support. You pull your head back and kiss him while the warm water hits your back. Fred reaches behind you and grabs your shampoo, gently massaging it in your hair. He pulls the removable shower head off and gently washes the shampoo out of you.

He puts it back on the holder and massages conditioner into your hair. You look up at him grip his hair tightly and pull his lips down to yours. He pushes you back against the cool tile and kisses you lightly. He pulls back and places soft kisses on your cheek, as his hands are on your hips. He presses his forehead to yours looking deeply into your eyes while you gently run your hands through his hair.

“Du er utrolig” he whispers before he gently glides you into the water stream rinsing out your conditioner. Next he reaches for your body wash and lathers you in your pomegranate body wash, upon rinsing you off he kisses you on the lips.

A few moments later he wraps a towel around you and gently dries you off. He leaves and comes back with track pants on as he hands you your pyjamas. You walk over to the sink and start brushing your teeth as he comes up beside you doing his. He stares at you through the mirror the entire time. You spit the toothpaste out and rinse your mouth; you move to leave the bathroom when he pulls you back.

He reaches to get the shampoo when he notices you have bought his brand of body wash and shampoo products. He looks at you and you just shrug your shoulders “you’re here enough, figured you would like to use your own stuff.”

He kisses your cheek “thanks, but I do like smelling like you” he says. You laugh while he quickly washes himself off.

You crash into his hard chest as he bends down putting his hand on your thighs lifting you up with ease. He carries you into the bedroom, and lies down keeping you on top of him, your hand and head resting on his chest. You listen to his heart beat, as he gently strokes your side.

Fred breaks the silence “what are we doing (Y/N/N)?”

You turn slightly to look into his brown eyes as he searches yours for an answer. “This has been fun and all, but I can’t keep doing this if it’s only fun.”

“I don’t know what we’re doing Fred” you explain. He goes to turn his head to look away but you reach up turning his jaw to keep his eyes locked on you. “I don’t know where we are heading, but I don’t want to stop. I’m enjoying this, all of it. The cuddles, the conversations, the sex” you say with a grin and chuckle “and the family time. But” you pause for a minute before continuing “but I also enjoy having time apart. I want to keep seeing you, but also have time and space away from you if that makes sense.”

“Yeah it does” he says softly but you don’t think he fully agrees.

“I’m just not ready to move in and be with you 100% of the time, I’m not there.” You reach into your side table and pull out a small velvet box and hand it to him. He gives you a questioning look before he opens it and pulls out a key as a smile crosses his face. “So I don’t have to stay up until 2am waiting for you” you explain.

“So you want to live apart and keep up with the shared custody. But also go on dates and have family time the three of us?” he asks closing the box, setting it on the table beside him.

“Yeah” you say softly “is that okay?”

Fred stares into your eyes before pulling you in softly for a kiss “yeah, it sounds perfect.” You lay your head back on his chest and listen to the gentle sound of his heart beat as you fall asleep.

the history of us [drake x camille] [part three: 11th July- make it up to her]

Part Two if you want to catch up.

Warnings: NSFW. Feelings.

@jovialyouthmusic @pug-bitch @fromthedeskofpaisleybleakmore @sirbeepsalot @moonlightgem7 @dcbbw @notoriouscs @emceesynonymroll @burnsoslow @i-bloody-love-drake-walker @sawyeroakleyscowboyhat @iplaydrake @drakewalkerisreal @moneyfordiamonds @cordoniasmost @gardeningourmet @katedrakeohd @of-course-i-went-to-hartfeld @rainbowsinthestorm @drakesensworld @ccolz88-blog

Drake sat on the sofa two hours after opening Camille’s diary. He felt numb; so numb. He hadn’t realised Camille kept a diary and documented everything so religiously. He was seeing himself from her eyes and the view was not pretty. Sure, they had had amazing moments the past four months, but a lot of it had been.. dark.

He was knocked out of his overthinking by Olive. The corgi nudged Drake’s leg, asking for attention. Olive adored Drake. Maybe it because he always fed her more dog treats than he should, or maybe it was because Olive just loved being around humans, but she always followed Drake everywhere.

Cheddar was more of Camille’s dog; Olive was Drake’s.

Drake picked her up and she settled down on his lap, licking his fingers. ‘I’ve fucked up, Olive,’ he whispered, stroking her ears. Olive looked up at him. He swore she had a sad look in her eyes.

‘Let’s watch some TV, huh?’ he suggested. He turned the TV on and as usual, it settled on the news. Drake swiftly turned it over to a chat show. It was a panel of women who were drinking cocktails and cackling.

Well, it was better than the news who always reported on Drake and Camille.

The women sipped their cocktails. ‘So,’ one of them said, ‘the Duke and Duchess of Valtoria. What do we think is going on there ladies?’

A brunette downed her drink and leaned forward. ‘If I speak candidly,’ she said loudly, ‘I think there’s been trouble in paradise for some time. Have you seen those paparazzi pictures whenever they’re out together? They look so withdrawn from each other. Bear in mind, only last year photos always showed them holding hands and smiling at each other. Now, it’s different.’

Drake smirked. What did this bitch know? Sometimes, photos were taken when they weren’t smiling - that was normal. Nobody was happy 24/7.

The blonde panel member spoke up. ‘I know what you mean. It’s like their chemistry is off. Then we have Camille attending royal events alone.’

‘That is the red flag right there,’ another of the witches piped up. ‘She gets all dressed up for these events, sometimes has Lily with her, but never Drake. They used to be inseparable.’

Drake had to turn it off. He couldn’t take any more of their theories and venom. They were discussing his private life on national TV over fucking cocktails. What show was this? He brought up the information screen.

‘Cocktails in Cordonia.’ What trash.

Drake sighed and glanced at Camille’s diary. He needed to read more, as she wanted. He didn’t know what she was hoping to achieve. Make him feel shit?Show him what a bad husband he was?

Camille wasn’t vindictive though. She wasn’t petty and she didn’t bear grudges. She had to have a reason.

He turned to the next page and prepared himself for another trip down memory lane.

11th July 2023

It’s the Summertime Ball tonight. Liam holds the ball every year and it’s become a highlight of the social calendar. I’ve got my gold dress all ready and I bought Lily a beautiful pink chiffon dress with silver stars embroidered on it. She looks like the sugarplum fairy in it and she twirled around the kitchen, asking Drake to tell her she looks pretty.

******************************************************************************************

‘Tell me I look pretty, Daddy!’ Lily cried, twirling around the kitchen. Her pink dress blew out around her and she looked so pleased with her outfit. Camille had arranged her dark hair into a ballerina bun and Lily had insisted on having her nails painted a glittery pink.

Drake picked her up and pressed a kiss on her forehead.

‘You are the prettiest girl in the world!’ he told her. Lily beamed and snuggled into his chest, a lazy smile on her face. To her, Drake was her world and that was all that mattered.

Camille was watching them, her eyes shining. This was all she had ever wanted. A family. Her own little family.

Drake placed Lily back down and he grinned at his wife. ‘You look incredible.’

Camille blushed. She was wearing a long gold halterneck dress made of silk. It skimmed her curves and showed off her caramel skin. Camille stepped forward and ran her hands down his chest. Drake was wearing a new suit; Camille loved it when he made an effort.

‘We should get going,’ she told him. ‘Cordonia society awaits!’

She took Lily’s hand and the two of them left the kitchen to the waiting car. As the door opened, Drake heard Geoffrey say, ‘Lily, you look like a fairy princess!’

Drake chuckled but his smile soon faded. Another Cordonian ball. Their first since they had come back from Texas. He knew they would be interrogated by the other nobles. How was Texas? Why were they away so long? How is Valtoria? Is Lily still eating McDonalds?

The thought filled him with dread.

He poured himself a double measure of whiskey and downed it. He needed liquid courage to get him through the evening.

**************************************************************************

Maxwell had descended on Lily as soon as he saw her. ‘You look so pretty!’ he shrieked, picking her up and twirling around. Lily laughed and stopped when she saw Maxwell’s bow tie. It was a squid. She reached out her hand and gently touched it, whispering, ‘wow...’

Bertrand came over to greet Camille and Drake. ‘Camille, you look stunning as always,’ he told her warmly. ‘How was Texas? I’m sorry you had to come back early.’

Camille smiled. ‘Texas was amazing. Just lazy days, lots of family time. We needed it, didn’t we Drake?’

Drake nodded. ‘Definitely. So good to get a break.’

Liam wandered over with Hana, Olivia and Leo in tow. The group were now reunited and Hana pulled Camille in for a hug, excited to see her best friend again.

Maxwell put Lily down and she skipped over to the group. She needed to see her Aunt Olivia. She adored the 5′11 redhead with high cheekbones, straight posture and icy blue eyes. The infatuation had began about a year ago when Lily had cast her eyes on the many ruby rings Olivia wore. Lily was a magpie and loved anything shiny; when Olivia let her wear a ruby ring that was far too big for her small fingers, Lily fell in love.

She fell hard for her Aunt Olivia after that. Olivia found it a little strange at first, not used to being adored, especially by children god forbid, but she soon began to enjoy it whenever Lily asked to see Olivia. It showed the child had taste.

‘Aunt Olivia, do you like my dress?’ she asked shyly. Olivia’s eyes ran over the dress. Drake prayed she would be kind; he knew pink was not Olivia’s favourite colour by a long stretch.

‘I think you look gorgeous, babe,’ Olivia said honestly. ‘I love the stars.’

Lily giggled. Because Olivia loved the dress, she wasn’t planning to take it off for the next week.

The live band began to play a jazz number. Lily looked up at Drake. ‘Daddy, dance with me.’

Camille nudged Drake, who picked up his daughter. ‘Come on, show me your best moves,’ he said, carrying her to the dance floor. He set her down and took her by her hands; his hands were gigantic around hers. Drake had to bend to dance with her, twirling her around.

This was the only time when Drake was really comfortable on the dancefloor. When he danced with Camille, he felt calm, knowing the steps, but he still felt a little out of place no matter how hard she tried to convince him that he was a good dancer. But when he was with Lily, he forgot about everyone around them. It was just him and his little girl, dancing together. They didn’t need to do the moves, why would they? She was four. Instead, he twirled her around, swung her up in the air so her dress flew out, making her a fairy in flight. There were no rules or etiquette needed for dancing with Lily. It was just fun. It was free.

Drake picked her up and she wrapped her arms around his neck as he bobbed around in a circle. Camille and Hana watched them together.

‘He’s such a good dad, isn’t he?’ Hana whispered.

Camille nodded, smiling. ‘He really is. He’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us.’

***********************************************************************

‘So, Drake, how does it feel being back in Cordonia?’ Lord Stanley asked. Drake plastered an artificial smile on his face. ‘It feels good! It’s nice to get back to normality.’

The lie came out of his mouth so easily.

‘We heard that you’re thinking about sending Lily to a regular school?’ Lady Victoria probed. ‘That’s a different choice. Every other noble child has gone to boarding school.’

Drake fought back the urge to tell her to fuck herself. Instead, he cleared his throat. ‘Well, as myself and Camille were born commoners, we want Lily to have the same sort of childhoods that we had. We want her to make friends with kids who aren’t noble so she can see there’s other ways of living.’

‘Other ways of living..’ Victoria murmured, her eyes wide.

‘Surely though she will inherit the duchy of Valtoria?’ Stanley asked, struggling to keep up with Drake’s modern way of thinking. ‘If she doesn’t go to boarding school with other nobles, she won’t know how to support her people!’

Drake cast his eyes around the room, searching for Camille. He needed his team mate.

‘Well, Lily might not want to inherit the duchy,’ Drake said casually. ‘We want her to see the world, learn other cultures, just be grounded and more openminded.’

The two nobles were staring at Drake as if he had grown three heads.

‘Besides, we can teach her how to support the duchy if needed,’ Drake went on. He was trying to justify his parenting decisions to these people and he had no idea why. What he and Camille chose to do for their daughter wasn’t their business.

‘But it could be good for her to meet other noble children?’ Victoria suggested. Drake ignored her and his eyes found Camille’s.

Camille excused herself from talking to Liam and she came over to help Drake.

‘Ah, Lord Stanley, Lady Victoria! How good to see you both again,’ Camille said.

The lie came out of her mouth so easily.

‘Duchess Camille, you look glowing!’ Victoria said, taking her by the hands. ‘What’s your secret?’

‘Creme de la Mer,’ Camille deadpanned. Victoria blinked.

‘Uh, so Drake was just telling us that next year, you might be sending Lily to a regular school?’ Stanley said.

‘Not might,’ Drake corrected him. ‘We will be.’

Camille looked at Drake and his eyes bore into hers. She knew without speaking that he been getting interrogated. She took Drake’s hand and placed her hand on his chest.

‘Yes, we’re so excited for Lily to go to a school with normal kids. More relaxed, she can meet all kinds of people and think for herself!’

Victoria frowned. ‘Are you saying our children can’t think for themselves?’

‘Welllll..’ Camille shrugged. ‘Anyway, so lovely to see you again. We need to circulate, there’s so many people we haven’t spoken to yet.’ She dragged Drake away.

‘Jesus, they’re horrible,’ she muttered under her breath. Drake smirked. ‘Glad you think so. Who honestly gives a shit about what we do? It’s our life.’

Camille bit her lip. ‘I think because we’re already so different from them, they want to see how we run things. Clearly, sending Lily to boarding school was an expectation that we have yet again not met.’

‘We’re not sending her away,’ Drake ground out. Camille looked up at him and gave his hand a squeeze. They both looked out at the dance floor to see Lily dancing with her Uncle Leo and Uncle Maxwell, who were showing her how to do the robot.

‘I promise that’s not going to happen. She’s ours.’

She kissed him gently. ‘I’m going to continue my conversation with Liam. Want to join?’

‘In a moment,’ he told her. ‘You go ahead.’

She left him to it. Drake went to the bar and ordered a glass of whiskey, double measure. He sank the drink then gestured to the bartender for another.

He studied the nobles around him. Aside from his friends, he hated everyone in the room. The way they spoke to him and Camille so patronisingly grated. They always looked like they felt sorry for them. Like Drake and Camille knew nothing. Like they were going to destroy Valtoria with their inexperience, despite the fact that they had been Duke and Duchess for four years.

Fuck them.

Drake sipped more of his whiskey and watched his wife burst out laughing at something Liam said. She looked at home here. She was certainly more regal than Drake. He sometimes worried he held her back, but he never told her that. He knew she would get upset if she knew the thoughts that went through his mind.

But he knew she hated the nobles too. They would bitch about them while having drinks on their balcony. Camille was just better at hiding it.

Drake signalled for another drink.

**********************************************************************************

They got home around midnight. Lily had fallen asleep on Drake’s lap when they had been sat at the table in the ballroom, which called for them to head home. Once Camille set her down in bed, she kissed her forehead and left the bedroom door slightly ajar; Lily was scared of the dark and felt better when she could see the hallway light.

Drake’s head was spinning. Usually, he was a heavy weight but with each drink he had drank tonight, he had asked for double measures. Silly idea.

He fell back onto the bed, still dressed in his suit, and looked up at the spinning ceiling. He heard Camille enter the bedroom and shut the door.

‘You okay there, champ?’ she joked. She hadn’t realised how much Drake had drank, instead thinking he had just drank whiskey on an empty stomach and that was why he was conked out on the bed.

She got on her knees and crawled towards him, suspending her body over his. He smelled of whiskey. Drake looked into her eyes and reached out to twirl a lock of her hair around his finger.

‘You’re beautiful,’ he whispered.

Camille smiled. ‘You’re drunk.’

‘Yeah. You’re still beautiful though.’

Camille leaned down to kiss his neck, enjoying the groan that escaped his lips. She began to peel off his suit jacket and unbutton his shirt, exposing his broad chest. She loved how broad he was; how manly he was.

Kissing down his chest, she stopped when she heard him snore.

Oh well. He would just have to make it up to her tomorrow.

******************************************************************************************

Drake did make it up to her the next morning. He had a memory that she had tried to make a move on him last night but he had been so drunk, he’d fallen asleep. His face flamed red when he remembered this.

Her alarm had gone off and she slipped into the bathroom to shower. Drake followed. His head may have been aching but he wanted to make it up to her.

Drake knocked on the shower door. Camille turned to open the door and she looked out at him, her hair slicked back from the water. Drake’s eyes roamed her naked body hungrily.

‘You coming in?’ she asked, looking up at him from under her eyelashes. Drake gave her a wolfish grin and stripped off his clothes. He let himself into the shower.

His hands slid down her wet body, slick from the water and shining. He kissed her neck and moved down to tease her nipple with his tongue. Camille gasped and closed her eyes, focusing on the sensations.

Drake gently pushed her up against the wall and lifted her by the ass. She wound her legs around his waist, crying out when she felt his cock enter her. He wasn’t taking his time; he wanted to make it up to her.

‘Fuck Drake..’ she breathed, digging her fingernails into his back. Drake began to drive into her, keeping her body supported as he did so. His hips bucked against hers, grinding into her deeply, not wanting to stop. Drake wanted to make it up to her.

As he bucked against her, he placed his finger on her clit and began to circle. She let out a groan as he teased her, feeling her core begin to come alive. Their bodies moved together, desperately now, as Drake began to increase the pace. He was relentless. He wanted to make it up to her.

Their mouths found each other and their tongues twisted, dancing. Drake could feel Camille’s fingernails digging into his back, probably scratching his skin but he didn’t care.

He could smell the coconut shampoo she used and he inhaled her scent. She was his own personal paradise.

‘Drake, I’m gonna cum,’ she breathed. Drake continued to drive into her, keeping up momentum.

‘Cum for me,’ he growled in her ear.

She let go, crashing over the wave. Her body jerked against his and she wrapped her legs around him tighter. Drake followed after, crying out her name into the crook of her shoulder.

‘I love you,’ she whispered. Drake kissed her neck, then her cheek, then her lips.

‘I love you too.’

*******************************************************************************************

Drake stopped reading the diary entry. Camille hadn’t written about the shower sex but she had written about the ball and about the stuffy nobles.

They’re so judgemental, I’m sick of it. But I can’t say anything to them otherwise I’d cause a riot, so instead I plaster a fake smile on my face and act like Duchess Camille. Who even is Duchess Camille? She’s not me. She’s elegant and knows etiquette and how to smile. She can curtsey and knows how to use the correct cutlery at dinner. Her fake laugh is fantastic, it sounds so genuine. But she’s not really me. She is a part I play.

Sometimes I wish I could just be normal Camille. The one who wears denim shorts and oversized sweaters. I’d love to go to a football game with Drake and eat hotdogs and not have to worry about anyone bothering us. I’d love to take Lily out to the park without needing a bodyguard.

But we signed up for this life when we became Duke and Duchess. It was always going to be hard. I just want us to try and be as normal as possible and that includes sending Lily to a normal school. I’m so happy Drake and I share the same values; we’re a good team. As long as we have each other, it’s going to be alright.

Drake swallowed a sob. His breath became haggered and his head began to swim again. His vision began to blur and that was when he realised he was crying.

Drake had only cried three times in his life.

When he was told his father was dead.

When he saw Camille walking up the aisle towards him on their wedding day.

When he held Lily in his arms for the first time.

This was the fourth time in his life Drake cried. How could he have fucked up something so good? Something that made him happy? How could he have pushed away the one person who truly saw him for who he was?

Drake wiped his eyes roughly and looked through the box again. He came across a photo of him, Camille and Lily playing rock paper scissors while sat at a table during one of the palace balls. His memory flashed back and he remembered that Maxwell had taken the photo of the family.

They looked carefree. They didn’t care what people thought of them.

Drake sniffled and put the photo down, picking up the diary again. He needed to keep reading. It was what Camille wanted him to do and he was sick of letting her down.

He turned the page.

Journey into the MCU XII

Avengers: Endgame

I just watched Endgame. Part of me doesn’t even know what to say. Some bits were brilliant and exactly what I wanted them to be and then some bits were just... a bit shit?

Don’t get me wrong. I loved it. Whenever something happened I was screaming ‘ABSOLUTELY NOT’ you know, in the best way :) ...But... I had to love it, you know what I mean? Seriously though, don’t really know what the shit I just watched (in a good way lol)

So, I love the fact that it started with Clint - that already got me crying (the first of the 41 instances of crying due to this film and probably the fact that I’m hormonal lmao). I adored Tony and Nebula’s interaction playing the game in space and I was like ‘Ah shit here we go again he’s adopting another one’ lol. I honestly had no idea how they were going to get back to Earth until That Bitch™ turns up - I actually waaaaay prefer Carol in this film to Captain Marvel!!!

STEVE RUNS TO TONY WHEN THE SHIP LANDS! I CAN’T! HE’S BY HIS SIDE BEFORE PEPPER EXCUSE YOU BITCH WHAT!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH

I love them so much :’) sorry I’ll stop

Tony’s whole ‘zero zip nada no trust liar’ just. Wow. Very well done to both RDJ and Evans because that’s improvised right? I love!

I really like Thor, Protector of Lesbians and That Bitch’s interaction. Instantly a yes from me.

I enjoyed Thor’s desperation at just slicing that purple twat’s head off.

I’m trying to do this chronologically but I’m gonna start fucking up. Whatever.

I HATE what they did to Bruce. I wanted to see Bruce Banner being distraught and instead they wrote in all this unnecessary humour which personally I didn’t think was too funny maybe because I was too mad and made him permanently green?? Excuse me? The Russos have gotta be clowning right? The dared do THIS to the strongest avenger? Fuck off honestly. Think about what that man has been through - tried to kill himself and this is the treatment he gets?! No.

I like the fact that Thor is depressed because that was a natural decline. And I mean, he was depressed waaay before 2023 right? He has lost EVERYTHING and can’t really relate to anyone else because most of his loss was different, but he manages to maintain some of the humour we see from him in Ragnarok, HOWEVER I feel like the Russos were just trying too hard to make the humour happen and it just didn’t feel right?

LOVE THE FACT THAT THEY GOT OUT OF THE ‘OH SCOTT’S STUCK IN THE QUANTUM REALM’ PLOT HOLE WITH A RAT SCURRYING ACROSS THE CONTROLS. BITCH. I CAN’T EVEN BE MAD AT THAT. THAT’S JUST ICONIC.

Also, Tony Stark really is one of the best dads, huh? Along with Mr. Lang of course. AND NEITHER OF THEM GOT TO SEE THEIR KIDS GROW UP SORRY MORE ON THAT LATER.

I understand that Tony wasn’t on board at first, despite being a bit annoyed at him being selfish, I got it. And then bitch gets on board and everything’s happy for 20 minutes.

The Time Heist was ICONIC aND no one can tell me otherwise!!! Honestly just the fact that it was called the time heist and it was Scott’s plan and Scott is still tHE biggest fanboy - we stan.

I knew about the time travel shit before watching and thought they were gonna fuck it up because time travel is difficult with regard to not just going ‘so now we’re gonna go back and fix everything, job done’ but I actually think they did a pretty good job and did well explaining how *this version* of time travel was gonna work.

I really enjoyed Bruce’s interaction with the Ancient One and when she realises there must be a problem in the future if Stephen saved Tony’s life for the stone.

STEVE, TONY AND SCOTT WERE EVERYTHING AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THESE GUYS BACK IN 2012!!! I love Tony making Scott induce a heart attack. ICONIC. I live for the fact that we see all this sort of ‘behind the scenes’ action of The Avengers 2012 and the stuff that happened after the event and the ins and outs of everything. I will NEVER be over these whole shenanigans!!!!! I already knew about Cap V Cap but nOTHING could’ve prepared me for tHAT. This will be a continuing theme lol. I had no idea the whole ‘that is America’s ass’ thing actually happened jfc. SIDE NOTE: Tony really does say ‘I forgot that suit did nothing for your ass Cap’ bITCH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA why you looking though you bi little shit lmao I’m not sorry. Steve whispering Hail Hydra was iconic and I was screaming ‘FUCK YEH BITCH FUCK EM UP NOW THEY DONT KNOW WHAT THE FUCKS GOING ON HELL YEAH STEVE!!!!!!’ and at first I was like ‘wait, are they gonna recreate the CATWS elevator fight sequence?’ and then they did tHAT. ICONIC. And then I also knew that they go back further because I knew Tony met Howard and I knew about Dr. Potts and Capt. Stevens (lol) BUT NOTHING COULDVE PREPARED ME FOR THAT EITHER!!!! That shit got me FUCKED aND he hUGged him! He hugged his dad! I was! Not ready! For that!

Anyway so their time heist was really nice and I loved it so much it was everything I could’ve hoped for.

Thor and Frigga’s interaction I thought was really nice and she MUST know by the way he’s talking that in his future, the near future, she’s dead. I just find it so lovely and she completely restores Thor’s confidence in himself.

NOW

CLINT AND NAT

ABSOLUTELY NOT

That totally fucked me up. I knew Nat died at Vormir but turns out it didn’t matter that I already knew because nothing could’ve prepared me for that either.

For one, they hint at it quite a bit after they’ve finalised the plan - you know, that someone’s gonna go there and die. Nebula knows and we know that whoever’s going to Vormir ain’t coming back - well, one of them. oops

Secondly, I had no idea that they *playfully* fought it out to decide who it was gonna be and I was sOBBING from the moment they got to Vormir till- uhhh- well tbh it never stopped but you get the point. The whole fact that Nat realised that *this* was her purpose and after what Clint had been doing for the last five years, he thought he was too far gone and didn’t deserve his family anymore, even if they could get them back. It just totally fucked me up. That was one of my favourite scenes.

Sad Steve. AHHHH.

Then a whole load of shit happens and Thanos learns about the plan. I like the way Thanos talking about his future self is written, so kudos to the writers on that one!

I also appreciate the fact that there’s no delay between Thanos, Squidward and the rest of his crew coming to the future and the fight. That’s it. All of a sudden we’re straight into it! Great!

AHHHHHHH so now it’s time for The Big Three to confront Thanos and I just LOVE this sequence so much I honestly can’t express it and I was so so sooooo hoping that I would see these three on their own (plus purple numpty of course). At this point Thanos is just completely psycho because he wants to destroy the universe and create a new one which is an addition I really like - creates a new sense of urgency I suppose.

In other news, Steve Rogers is worthy! Which I love because somewhere around CATWS I started stanning this bitch!

Dr. Strange’s portals? ICONIC. Hotel? TRIVAGO.

Peter’s back and his and Tony’s whole interaction and hug had me in fucking tears jesus fUCKING christ nope. That shit hurt. THAT IS HIS SON RIGHT THERE. FUCK.

RIGHT.

TONY MOTHERFUCKING STARK.

The fact Stephen knows - has known for 5 years - what must happen.

The look on both their faces when Tony realises.

Nope.

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Made me wanna die.

Then he does it. Fuck. I’m completely fucked now. Thanks. And then Peter’s by his side and Peter’s whole speech while Tony’s just dYING!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT. I DID NOT COME HERE TO BE HURT LIKE THIS. AND RHODEY. AND PEPPER. AND PEPPER HAS TO PULL PETER OFF. NOPE.

THEN they dare just cUT TO THE FUNERAL??!!?!

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Get the fuck out honestly.

Tony’s recording. No.

The placing of everyone at the funeral was just perfect. The funeral was just beautiful in general tbh. The Proof That Tony Stark Has A Heart on the flowers. HARLEY!!!!!!! NO.

AND MORGAN WANTED CHEESE BURGERS JFC HAPPY IS GOING TO BE THE BEST UNCLE WOW!!!

Did I know Tony Stark was gonna die? Yes I did. I would’ve had to leave Tumblr to not have found out. There’s only so much that tagging can hide and you see something that hints at it and then you see a quick gif and then you just know, you know?

Did it prepare me? Fuck no.

Now, Steve.

What tHE ACTUAL FUCK?

What was that?

I’m not buying it.

Love the fact he passed Cap onto Sam, but to spend the rest of his life with Peggy? Fuck no. Some girl he knew too seconds vs spending the rest of his life with his BEST FRIEND who was irreplaceable. Fuck off. Bucky’s face throughout the whole sequence. The poor man was fucking devastated. And I’m writing this from a canon perspective because I’m all for stucky you know? Then I asked my self: ‘How could Steve do that?’ Conclusion: he couldn’t and he wouldn’t - the writers were playing silly games and none of us, none of us are buying it.

Did I know all this was gonna go down? Yes. Was I prepared? No.

Not for Bucky’s fucking face jfc. All they got was a line and a quick hug. They were BEST FRIENDS. I honestly can’t stress that enough. Wow.

The deleted scenes. Of course I have watched them aND WHY IN THE SHIT WERE THEY DELETED??? Russos are fucking clowns!!!! They all fucking kneeled for him and that was cut? You having a laugh mate?! And Gerald the Alpaca was cut because??? The extra Howard and Tony didn’t make the cut? Excuse you? Tony’s talking about how he doesn’t think he’s done enough, and then he goes and does the aBSOLUTE MOST???? :’) fuck. And uhhh Rhodey having the ONLY brain cell in the avengers with the whole ‘well you coulda jumped out the plane beforehand Cap’ lmaooo brilliant!!!

So they may be deleted but let me tell you, they released them so now they’re fucking canon.

So in conclusion, did I know all the major spoilers before watching this film? Yes because I wasn’t going to be a tumblr hermit, but managed to pretty successfully ignore them until today. SO WAS I PREPARED? FUCK NO!

Surprisingly I LOVED Clint in Endgame - not that I didn’t like him before but I just really respect how broken he is in this. His family. Nat. It really adds up and I really enjoyed what they did with his character.

I did really love it generally but just wasn’t entirely happy with some of the character choices - because they seemed pretty damn out of character! There’s development over 5 years of not having seen them, and then... there’s... some other situations.

Would I have enjoyed it more not knowing any spoilers? Completely! But I wasn’t gonna stay clear of Tumblr for 4 months lol.

Main thing I will take away from watching this. I miss Tony Stark so much and love him so much. And no I will not shut up about it. And was I crying for a good hour after the film ended and then some whilst I was watching the extra content? Maybe.

Also I’m so emotional that this is IT for Downey and Chris. Wow. Ok I’m done :’)

some avengers endgame Thoughts cause i saw the movie yesterday and can't stop thinking about it

of course..... spoilers ahead

nebula and tony playing!!!! i just love how nebula's personality comes through without it being ooc

also... nebula carefully sitting tony up. she Cares so much :(

steve immediately going to tony :( like im a stucky kind of gal but holy shit i love them

which was completely erased in the next scene where tony drags steve up and down and after that passes out, which is a confrontation Mood

i wonder how they made tony look so skinny and sick. if it was cgi then i applaud them cause it looked so good

the way they killed thanos so fucking quickly here... i don't know how to feel lmao. like cutting the gauntlet arm and then slicing his neck... that's what we were all screaming at them during infinity war. it's good to see them learn from their mistakes, i guess ?

(can't remember the order in which things happen from now so forgive me if i make a mistake)

i told my sister "that's one of the russos!!!!!" so it took me ten seconds to realize that the russo was the gay character everyone was talking about (i thought it would be fury for no other reason than it being shocking and fury having very little to do with the plot, but)

and steve being supportive of that :( man out of time said gay rights!

carol's new hair!! holy shit!!!!!

rocket insinuating carol has been experimenting with more hairstyles... i would like to see it

don't think i missed that carol x rhodey nod. i support it.

don't wanna say it now... for now ill just state: i love what they're doing with natasha in the movie. she truly feels like a friend to steve. like that small gesture of her sliding the plate towards steve is just so domestic and beautiful! it really makes her feel so human and complex at the end. i was so worried about her being wasted but i loved her throughout the film

it was a fucking rat who got scott out. i have to laugh.

also is that the guy from that old "gayyyyy" meme????

cassie is all grown up!!!!!! i can't even imagine how hard it had been for her

also what happened to her mom? and the stepdad??? are they fine????? i hope so

i was hoping we would get more tony as a dad in this movie and it delivered!! tony is so fucking good with kids. the bond between him and morgan was so well portrayed

also the place they live in is so cozy and that's what he deserves

when steve stepped down the car in that black outfit with the leather jacket on i gasped... he's fucking gorgeous

i kept wanting him and tony to kiss lmao tf is wrong with me

OKAY my hawkeye rights. i missed him so much

the stylish subtitles on the middle of the screen felt like too much. this isn't a tumblr gifset honey, just write them down!

thinking about the whole clintasha conversation really foreshadows the whole thing. natasha cares so deeply about clint and really puts his needs before hers. it's so beautiful to see

honestly... my clintasha rights!

i think the hulk/bruce scene was kinda endearing but then the ant man banter dragged on for toooo long

the dab i YELLED. these poor kids have to stand this man on 2023 pulling out 2016 trends to appear Hip and Cool

fat thor...... i hate how it was handled. hate it so fucking much.

new asgard! that's so cute. i hope that's on norway

miek and korg are alive!!!!

the thought of thor insulting a possibly 14 year old on fortnight is too much for me. it sounds like bad fanon talk. i still laughed (bc noobmaster69??? that's fucking hilarious)

tonys reaction to i love you 3000 is so beautiful. like the way he looks taken aback and so happy. i love irondad

steve in a white shirt and jeans!!!! i gasped again. he's delivering, the fucking model

i know they were like, barely being decent to each other again, but i still wanted my stony hug:(

when they're discussing their infinity stones memories and natasha and tony are laying down together on a table???? adorable. amazing.

also why tf didn't nebula said the soul stone required a sacrifice??? i thought that's what she got from gamora dying in volmir

as soon as natasha and clint arrived to volmir i began chanting "nonononononononono"

fuckkdjdksndk fucking nebula. cue to more nononono chanting

rhodey knocking out quill with a single hit is the funniest scene in the movie

clintasha calling on bullshit on the sacrifice thing was also quite funny

the forehead touch :((( im so weak! so sad!

clintasha literally fighting each other to be each other's sacrifice!!!! kill me now!!!!

jeez now i can finally say it: scarjo shined so fucking much on this movie!!!! her delivery was amazing, i really felt a connection between her and the avengers, it really showed her growth during the five year time jump. she fucking killed it. she did her best and she's the best black widow we could've ever gotten.

clint mourning her :((((( probably the third time i cried during the movie

thor's panic attack being used for cheap laughs was the most uncomfortable moment for me... or any scene where people only saw thor as Fat and Lazy (basically, two thirds of the movie)

the freya + thor reunion was so sweet though!

okay. okay. hear me out. tony was on a very serious mission to regain an infinity stone. and the first thing he does is check out steve's ass. and aknowledge how glorious it is. i couldn't believe what i was watching!!!!!! like that actually fucking happened. consider me a fully formed stony bitch.

and scott joining in to say it was "america's ass" ???? poetic cinema

so it's canon that everyone checks out steve's ass and appreciates it as a national treasure. that's all i never thought id needed.

steve saying "hail hydra" i YELLED. it was a nice nod to the whole "cap is a nazi" mess

and steve fighting himself... hot

using his bucky trauma to shock himself is :/// but also :((((

i loved that for one moment i knew everyone on the theatre was staring at steve's ass

and steve being appreciative of his own butt!!!! ok that's all i have to say about steve's ass

i loved the reminder that thor was still kinda goofy back in avengers 1, for everyone who says taika completely changed his character. and the little tony + thor moment was adorable

"howard..... potts" i can understand tony being a mess but how did howard not suspect of anything??? elevator lady took one look of steve's face and all of her alarms started ringing

peggy carter... ive missed my wife so much

did peggy marry souza. i hope she did. steve tf are you doing staring at a married woman (jk)

clint kicking the stones away as soon as bruce is done with the snap is the biggest mood

also... the hell was scott looking at that made him think it had worked? just... more birds outside? i was really curious

the irony of the only avenger without superpowers being left with the stones

"i know you" *hands out stones* how can you not love clint, he's so pure

nebula killing his 2014 self is a power move. that would be me if i met my 2014 self

thor with a braided beard!!!!! beautiful

thanos is like, a real threat and i love that

okay. i kinda saw it coming. i saw thor leave mjolnir behind and i thought "oh????". and then the shock of thanos being able to wield stormbreaker. and then fucking mjolnir moving!!!!! i was the only person in the theatre who yelled

but seriously!!!! steve wielding AND fighting with mjolnir!!!!! couldn't stop thinking about it all day!!!!!!!!! STEVE IS WORTHY!!!!!!!

parallels to thor going for the chest. it never works babies!

and just.... this was steve's moment. steve i-can-do-this-all-day rogers really fighting with every ounce of his body and soul against the most powerful being on earth. justice for him getting knocked after touching thanos for one second in iw!

and steve getting up again! all dirty and wounded!! trembling with exhaustuation and resolution!!! with his broken shield on his arm!!!! just him facing the biggest army of the universe!!!!! so powerful

sorry to destroy this epic moment, but like, okay. people had been reintegrated to life like, twenty minutes before. and i understand that they were all confused and out of place. but sam really needed ALL that time to just... try to communicate with steve????? ok

the "avengers..." *brings mjolnir with one hand while bracing his shield with the other* "assemble" moment was... oh my God. chills all over my body.

that One Moment where steve has stormbreaker on his hand... so fucking hot

the tony and peter reunion holy shit. the hug was everything i needed! like please just hug tony stark for ages

and tony and pepper fighting together!!! that's a power couple right there

i felt it when quill looked at gamora and just... stopped. im so sad his moment was played for laughs when it was obviously such an important moment for his character

thanos was so fucking scared of wanda that he put his own troops at risk to stop her for a little while. strongest avenger right there!

and carol coming back!!!! i was like

i felt so relieved at that point. i was like "yeah thanos is fucking over what's next"

no need to talk about all the women coming together to defend peter :')

thanos getting the gauntlet again... the nonono chanting came back

fucking CAROL trying to stop him. looking at him with such a determined face, like "you can't stop me from stopping you". it was so powerful he had to snatch one stone to stop her

and strange giving him the one finger to tony.... i knew what was coming holy shit. i knew it. they knew it.

tony really proved himself there. it was his best scene on the entire mcu, don't argue with me!!!!!! the way he stood there and took all the power of the stones, unmasked, unaffected, powerful and almighty

"i am... iron man" cue to ugly sobbing

tony knew there was no other way. pepper did, too... she knew exactly what she had to tell him. she was right. tony spent all of these years moved by selfishness first, then fear, then guilt. an endless battle since thanos was on his head. but the war was over. what mattered was that he saved everyone, and he sacrificed himself for everyone. a complete 180° from last movie's ending.... wow

gotta said... peter there felt a little bit out of place for me. i think it would've been more powerful if he didn't say anything, though peter is a teenager, i can get it

his arc with steve felt unfinished, too. i would've liked to see steve's reaction as well, since tony had told him he wanted everyone back and also for his family so survive. but whatever

im not against tony killing thanos instead of gamora and nebula but i would've liked if we saw them react to his death, at least:/ like a little parallel between nebula's reaction at the beginning and the end of endgame

the One stucky interaction here was pulled from cap1 and iw. i feel betrayed

bucky Knew what steve was going to do. i wonder if steve told him before or bucky just sensed it

you can't convince me steve would go back and carelessly dance with peggy knowing his friend is being used like a weapon by hydra and bound to kill tonys parents. nah nah. it all felt wrong

my steggy rights!!!

love that the russos foreshadowed cap!bucky on tws just to give the shield to sam at the end

anyways what the fuck bucky was all steve had but he lived the happiest life without it and left him alone on the 21st century? okay fuck y'all

#long post #avengers endgame #endgame spoilers #avengers spoilers #avengers endgame spoilers #a4 spoilers #mine #marvel #this is.... so long and idk how to add a read more on mobile #but enjoy my thoughts i guess

Cyrus Rogox

Cyrus Rogox 1

[2023]

Three years has gone by since Cyrus and his friends defeated Satori the destroyer and saved the universe. Since then Cyrus is now known as the hero of the Universe and everyone knows his name. On a sunny morning on the last day of summer Cyrus and Baxter spend their day watching T.V. while eating snacks “Cy are you two going to sit here all day” said Rina who walks in the room getting annoyed “yep” said the two of them. “Well it’s the last day of summer but you two don’t have school tomorrow because you’ve already graduated. Are you seriously going to waste the day by watching T.V. and eating snacks” said Rina “yep” said the two of them watching and ignoring Rina “Fine well I’m going out so don’t get into trouble while I’m gone” “huh yea no trouble got it” “idiots”. “Hey Cyrus are we really going to do nothing all day” “of course not there has to be something exciting before the day ends” said Cyrus. The two step outside of the Rogox village and into the sunlight “aahh it burns haha” said Baxter “come on let’s see what Lord Kendro is doing”. In Lord Kendro’s quarters in the palace Kendro is surrounded by paper work and documents to sign as he starts sulking “aaah I will never get any of this done” Lord Kendro looks outside to see the people going on with their day and kids playing in the street “it’s nice to see everyone happy on this day” “oh Lord Kendro!” shouted Cyrus as he pushes the doors “hiya lord Kendro good morning” “Cyrus how many times do I have to tell you not to bust into my room. Baxter didn’t tell him this” “tell him what?” said Baxter with a clueless look on his face. “We were stopping by to see if you had anything for us to do” “no I don’t now go home” said Kendro losing his patience “but sir we can’t go home the truth is we’re bored. We want to spend the day with fun and adventure” said Baxter begging on his knees “I’m sorry guys I don’t have any missions for you now I’m very busy so you two can go and create your own fun” said Kendro “fine we’ll go but if you find one before the day ends let us know” said Cyrus “Cyrus always gave me a headache…huh what’s this?” Lord kendro looks at mission paper that he found right in front of him. Meanwhile Oki and Koru meditate outside of the city in Jaiku forest but Rina interrupts Koru’s meditation by hugging him to death. “Rina what are you doing?” “I’m just being me of course” “great now I got to start my peaceful relaxation all over again” said Oki “if you two love birds don’t mind I will just leave you alone” said Oki “you told him” “well it kind of slipped out plus we’ve been spending a lot of time this summer someone was bound to find out about us” Koru kisses Rina on the lips. Oki returns to Jaiku City with Lord Kendro showing up in front of him. “Man what a boring day how are we going to find something fun to do” said Cyrus “we can go to earth to see our friends I know Naomi misses you. Although you talk to her like every day and night” “we could do that”. All the sudden a messenger arrives in front of them “Cyrus Rogox and Baxter you must go to the palace for a mission” “finally something to do well let’s go” said Cyrus.

Cyrus, Baxter, Rina, Oki, and Koru show up in lord Kendro’s office “I summoned all of you here for a mission I found that contains criminals on earth who stole a human artifact. The artifact is a golden blade that contains magic properties and was missing for three days” said Kendro “sir why would petty criminals steal an artifact such as this one” said Oki “that’s why I’m sending you guys to do this mission because something doesn’t add up when I read the mission letter. It’s possible whoever is in charge may be dangerous” Lord Kendro’s face gives off a concerning look towards everyone. Meanwhile at a warehouse in New York City a group of criminals hang around with the artifact they stole “so what are we going to with this thing can we use it” said one criminal “no we can sell it for lots of cash it’s gotta be worth something” said the leader Kenny “let’s keep it until we find someone who will be willing to have it” said Kenny. In the dark part of the warehouse a black demon masked stranger hides and watches the petty criminals sit around the artifact. Kenny gets a weird feeling “hey fellas do you get the feeling that we’re being watched” lights of the warehouse turn off with only the exit sign light is glowing. Next thing everyone knows is the mask stranger kills some of the criminals one by one leaving Kenny the last “who’s there” said Kenny seeing the masked stranger holding a sword with blood dripping down from it “who the hell are you” the masked stranger stabs Kenny in the stomach “aaaahh” Kenny screams. The masked stranger looks down at Kenny then hides back into the dark of the warehouse leaving a light on where artifact is placed on a box full of hay. A portal opens up with Cyrus and the others stepping out of it in front of the warehouse. When Koru checks the area he gives the OK for everyone to walk into the warehouse. Oki decides to take one step forward only to step in a puddle of blood so Rina turns on the lights and everyone sees the petty criminals bodies dead on the floor “what the hell happened here” said Koru “looks like someone got here before us” said Baxter “they were all killed by someone with a sword” said Cyrus checking out the bodies “yea but who did it?” said Koru “hey guys I found the artifact” said Rina “I don’t get it this is very strange why would someone kill the petty criminals then leave this artifact here and not take it” said Koru “good question is it a fake” “no it’s definitely the real thing I can sense pure energy in it” said Koru. Cyrus starts hearing a faint voice from a dark part of the warehouse so he decides to follow the voices “this mission is starting to become creepy” said Baxter “what are you scared Baxter” said Oki “me scared no I’m just saying”. Meanwhile Cyrus follows a glowing figure and faint voices as he goes deeper into the dark side of the warehouse then hears a little voice call his name “Cyrus”. The black demon masked stranger comes from the shadows and attacks Cyrus with his sword against Cyrus’s own sword. When Cyrus uses an old defense and offense combo the mask stranger also uses the same combo as him following all of Cyrus’s moves “wow you really haven’t changed that much have you” said the masked stranger Cyrus’s face grows incredibly shocked hearing the strangers voice “take off the mask” said Cyrus taking off the mask but the strange attacker still hides his face and runs away out of plain sight. “Cyrus where are you” said Baxter “Cy” said Rina. Cyrus almost attacks Baxter with his hands shaking so hard that his sword is shaking out of his hands “Cyrus are you alright it’s just me” “I just face the person who killed those criminals” “did you get him” said Koru “no I don’t even know what just happened but he had this mask on” Cyrus hands the black demon mask to Koru then Oki carries the artifact on his back. As everyone heads towards the portal to go home Cyrus looks back with a regrettable look on his face.

Back at Lord Kendro’s quarters Koru gives the report on the mission which shocks Kendro deeply “you sure about this” said Kendro “yes we found the artifact but the criminals were killed by some masked attacker this is his mask” Koru tosses the mask to Kendro “Cyrus didn’t get a good look at the person but he’s been quiet ever since the event happened” “well at least you retrieved the artifact. What puzzles me is why didn’t the masked attacker take the artifact after he killed those criminals” Koru’s expression changes into nervousness. Baxter and Cyrus sit in the living room with Rina reading a magazine while having the T.V. on but Cyrus stares into a wall with his hand under his chin thinking about the mission “you haven’t changed that much haven’t you” “what was that I just saw and heard. Why am I getting so many familiar feelings coming back to me? The masked fighter knew my combo moves that only I know so why…” “Hey Cyrus what do you think the others on earth are doing…hey Cyrus are you listening to me” “what oh I don’t know I guess going to this place called college…” “Are you ok man you’re acting weird” “I guess”. Rina looks at Cyrus “Cy are you ok” said Rina “yea just thinking about something” said Cyrus. A rock gets thrown towards the window where Rina looks outside to see Koru signaling her to come outside. “I will be right back guys I got to check something outside”. Koru waits for her staring up at the moon on a quiet night “you know you could knock on the door and just came in not use the old throw the rock at the window thing” said Rina putting her hands on her hips. “I didn’t want to disturb you’re brother it looked like he’s acting strange again. By the way you didn’t tell him about us have you?” “No not yet I will when the time is right but I’m worried about him” the two hold both their hands and kiss each other as the wind starts blow pass them. “I love you” said Koru “I love you too” Rina replies. Later that night Cyrus lies on his bed only to stare at the ceiling thinking about the mission he had earlier then tries to go to sleep. An hour later Cyrus starts having a nightmare about a little girl he’s chasing then facing the masked attacker who reveals the face of the little girl he was chasing and hearing the voice of “Cyrus” Cyrus wakes up with sweat dripping down his face almost waking up Baxter and squeezing his bed sheets then looks outside of his window to see the moon in its bright glow then looks at the clock and falls back to sleep. The Next day Cyrus wakes up slowly looking at the clock then gets up and gets dressed “Cyrus time for breakfast” said Rina. As Cyrus, Rina, and Baxter sit down eating their breakfast Cyrus stares at his food not eating or saying a word. “C’mon Cyrus eat” said Baxter “I’m not hungry” “that’s a good one now eat” said Rina “I don’t want eat anything ok” said Cyrus leaving the table making Rina worry about him more. Later in the day Cyrus sits in Lord Kendro’s office being silent with the black demon mask placed on the desk in front of him. “Cyrus I called you here because I’m worried about you but your friends are worried about you too” said Kendro. Cyrus stares at the black demon mask not saying a word “now tell me what happened in the warehouse” Cyrus looks at Lord Kendro “nothing” “every time you say nothing it turns out to be something. Now tell me why are you acting this way what made you change your behavior all of the sudden?” “I’m sorry lord kendro I cannot tell you” “Fine but Cyrus just so you know we are all here for you” “I’m going to New York to visit Naomi ok” “make sure you hurry back” said kendro watching Cyrus leaving the room.

Cyrus enters and exits a portal to a quiet part of New York City near Naomi’s apartment. Cyrus walks towards Naomi’s apartment thinking about the mission and what he heard and saw then starts to get blurry visions in his mind. As Cyrus walks closer to Naomi’s apartment a stranger stands in the middle of the street with the same black demon mask but with a white S on the forehead. Cyrus stops to the see the masked stranger charge at him pulling out a sword and attacks him. Cyrus grows a crystal sword from his body and attacks clashing with the stranger’s weapon “who are you?” “I can’t believe you forgotten me Cyrus Rogox” the masked attacker removes the mask reveal a girl’s face shocking Cyrus letting his guard down and gets kicked in the stomach. “No! No this is- how are you still alive” said Cyrus trembling and drops his crystal sword. “Sara!” “ahahahaha it’s been a very long time Cyrus. I’ve been waiting a long time to see you again” said Sara removing her cloak and dropping the mask on the ground revealing a black S tattooed on her forehead. Cyrus looks at her blue eyes and black hair seeing all of here detailed appearances as he shakes with fear. “Sara you’re alive but how I-I” “you what killed me well you did and now I’m back. Don’t worry Cyrus you won’t die just yet but soon you will learn what it’s like when everything you love is dead” Said Sara disappearing into a black portal “wait!” Cyrus falls on his knees thinking about Sara in the past with a smiling face then visions of her death. Moments later Cyrus knocks on Naomi’s door so she answers and hugs Cyrus squeezing him really hard but Cyrus doesn’t react or say a word “Cyrus are you tired you don’t look so good. Did you eat a bunch of food before you came here oh well doesn’t matter I’m just so happy that you’re here I have a lot to tell you” said Naomi sitting on the couch drinking red wine. “Naomi I’m sorry I’m just been in a funk lately” “Cyrus you don’t look happy what’s wrong?” said Naomi comforting Cyrus. Cyrus thinks about Sara and her words so Cyrus acts and pretends to smile looking at Naomi “you know what nothing is wrong I guess I’m tired or something. So how’s college?” said Cyrus “great I’m learning a lot on how to heal people and medicine” “that’s a that’s good” “Cyrus you know you can tell me anything right” said Naomi holding Cyrus’s hands “yea” “no matter what I will always be here for you” Cyrus gives Naomi a great big smile then kisses her. Meanwhile in a dark cave in unknown location Sara walks through a dark portal and arrives in front of a group of masked people with the letter S branded on the masks. “I have returned my lord” said Sara kneeling on one knee. A man with a gold demon mask steps forward “Rise Sara” Sara rises up and looks at the man with golden demon mask “I take it that your reunion with Cyrus was interesting. So how was it?” “He isn’t the Cyrus I remembered he didn’t give me a fight as he was afraid but inside of him there is an immense amount of power that was never there before. I don’t think he’s a threat to our plan’s” “humph the kid defeated Satori maybe you’re still trying to protect this rogox brat” said one of the masked men “Lord Krius allow me Samma and my partner Tion to deal with Cyrus rogox” said Samma bowing his head “Sara it seems that you need to train more if you want to defeat Cyrus. Fine Samma I will allow you and Tion to deal with Cyrus but if you fail then you fail yourselves”. Sara goes to her chambers and sharpens her blade while thinking about Cyrus killing her.

Lord Kendro and Oki visit the museum in the Suarus village where they watch the golden sword being put on display “who’s sword did that originally belong to my lord?” said Oki “it originally belonged to the first super human Yukura” the name gives Oki chills then remembers Satori’s words “Yukura is dead but his name still gets passed around and what he did was unforgivable” “yes but he’s dead and the world has moved on after ten thousand years” said Lord Kendro gazing at the sword “Lord Kendro I still remember what Satori said and if it’s true do you think…?” said Oki “that he may return no I don’t think so. There hasn’t been a shojin member since Yukura’s death besides they all have been destroyed and extinct for over ten thousand years” Lord kendro smiles at Oki “try not to think about it too much Oki”. Back in Jaiku Cyrus goes to Jaiku forest to hunt for giant slugs while holding his word swinging it around. A portal opens from above the forest with Samma and Tion stepping out of it and lands on the forest ground. When Cyrus takes another step he senses the two right behind him with Samma attacking with his hammer while Tion attacks from behind with snake whip. Cyrus gets pinned by the two until he releases crystals from his entire body stabbing both of them and backs away “You two have the same masks as Sara. So that means you are with her” “nothing gets past you does it Cyrus” Said Samma “we have orders to eliminate you. Snake Siege” Tion shoots many snakes coming from inside his body “Crimson flames” Cyrus burns the snakes with his flames then attacks with Crimson blade. Samma strikes Cyrus with his hammer knocking him into giant boulder. Tion straps Cyrus with several snakes holding him “now Cyrus this is the end for you” Cyrus looks behind Tion and Samma to see a rock move while Samma raises his hammer. The two turn around to see Muddon the rock giant standing behind them grabbing Tion first and squeezing him until his bones get crushed then throws him into the ground. “Tion!” yells Samma. Samma slams his hammer at Muddon but it doesn’t do anything so Muddon grabs Samma and bites his head off then throws his body into the ground then frees Cyrus. “Muddon it’s been forever buddy. Thanks” said Cyrus seeing Muddon walk deep into Jaiku forest. Cyrus takes a look at the attackers and realizes he’s being hunted by an unknown force.

At an unknown location Lord Krius decides to pray to a statue of Yukura with candles surrounding him. Sara decides to join Lord Krius kneeling right beside him “Yukura had a future for us and almost made that future happen. He was a great person and leader” said Krius. “Someday I hope we can achieve the same thing he was trying to accomplish” “soon Sara very soon”. One of the masked warriors comes in “sorry to interrupt my lord but it appears that Tion and Samma are dead” the news strikes Krius and Sara. Meanwhile Cyrus arrives at his village with a bucket of blood slugs he caught while opening the door to his house. As Cyrus turns left he sees Rina and Koru hugging and kissing each other. Cyrus continues to walk inside his house and puts the bucket of slugs down on the floor and sits down while Rina walks into the door with a happy look on her face. “Hey Cyrus how was hunting” “oh you know sometimes you get what you catch” said Cyrus not looking happy “when were you going tell me that you and Koru were dating”. Rina quietly sits down “Cy I was going to tell you but I was waiting for the right moment” “so this has been going on for a while” said Cyrus “three months” said Rina “why did you keep this a secret from me?” said Cyrus yelling at Rina “because I knew you wouldn’t like it. I love him Cyrus. I don’t need you’re approval because I’m older and I’m happy” Cyrus looks at Rina and opens the door to outside but turns around “I’m glad he makes you happy, that’s what I want for you but it’s keeping secrets from me that bothers me I mean we are family now and I love us to tell everything together” Cyrus leaves to walk and clear his head. Meanwhile in New York City it starts raining heavily with thunder and lightning. Lord Krius shows up from a portal into the streets with raining coming down upon him then walks towards the empire state building looking up at it “such an interesting building. I know you’re there so stop hiding and just show you’re self Zukius” “hmm I guess I can’t hide my presence with you can I” “what are you doing here?” said Krius turning around facing Zukius “I just wanted to know what the plan is I mean I think we made our appearance clear to Cyrus Rogox” “Sara made her appearance but Cyrus doesn’t know yet that we the Shojin are truly back” said Krius. Zukius walks towards Krius and stands beside him looking at the empire state building “interesting you want to utilize the Shojin once again” said Zukius with a smirk on his face “not just that I want to make all super humans realize their true purpose and to have the Shojin take over this world once again with the revival of Yukura our god. Yukura was the first super human but wasn’t the last and if it wasn’t for the human uprising with their Trasarian help we would be living in a world full Super human superiority. Now the world has change with this alliance, I think it’s time to break that alliance” said Krius clenching his fists “what of the Rogox brat” “he and the trasaries will be dealt with soon but for now we must gather our remaining strength. Zukius you are one of shojin members that are elite so I need you to gather as many of us as you can” Krius puts his hand on Zukius’s shoulder “Yes Lord Krius it shall be done” Zukius spreads green wings and flies up high in the air and flies away from the city. Lord Krius looks at the empire state building with a vengeful expression and exits into a portal.

On Ion Lord Kendro still deals with documents and papers that he needs to sign and look over until he gets a headache and decides to stop for a bit. Kendro looks outside the evening events of the city until he gets a visit from King Saedo when a portal opens up in his room. “King Saedo what a surprise to see you” said Lord Kendro “Sorry if I interrupted you and came secretly but it’s an urgent matter” said King Saedo sitting down. Cyrus decides to walk inside the palace to see lord Kendro but sees King Saedo in his room so he decides to spy on their conversation. “Kendro we have a major problem I’m afraid” said Saedo “what kind of problem?” “I know you don’t sense it but intelligence unit has picked up strange anomalies around earth something that has been detected before but it was a very long time ago” “anomalies? We had anomalies before what makes this one so different?” “certain portals we detected opening and closing left energy residue that matches something disturbing…it matches the energy signature of that of a Shojin” Lord Kendro’s expression on his face shows a disturbed look and clenches his fist “are you absolutely sure about this” said Kendro with a tone of nervousness. Outside the door Cyrus shows no shocking expressions but a dull look on his face “So it’s true they have returned. This isn’t good at all if they returned then we know what they really want I mean I fought against them ten thousand years ago. They basically killed humans and took over the world for five thousand years and on top of that their leader Yukura caused even worst damage to humanity’s reputation” said Lord Kendro “you do realize if they are back then it means danger for us to especially to Cyrus don’t let him confront the Shojin” “why what does Shojin have to do with Cyrus” “they know who he is now there’s a good chance he’s a target. Promise me that he won’t go toe to toe with them” Saedo yells. “There’s one other thing Lord kendro we detect an anomaly we didn’t recognize but it is super natural although it’s not the shojin but it could a threat look I got to go remember don’t engaged the shojin until we know what they really are up to”. Cyrus quickly leaves the palace realizing what he just heard is what he’s been fearing the most.

When Cyrus leaves the city to go to the Rogox village he realizes he’s being followed so he looks up to see a masked stranger holding a giant Scythe swinging at him so Cyrus dodges and looks at the mask of a skull and black hooded cloak “who are you are you one of the shojin” “such insult I would never be one of shojin. So you’re Cyrus Rogox. My name Gitanta I am a grim reaper” Gitanta charges at Cyrus with great speed and kicks Cyrus hard in the stomach but changes things around when Cyrus twists and kicks him back then uses creators bomb on him. Gitanta raises his Scythe in the air “Scythe of Repentance!” the scythe starts to glow. Meanwhile Cyrus takes out his sword turning it into crimson crystals with little flames surrounding it and attacks the Scythe almost breaking it in two. Gitanta fixes his blade with his power and uses the air to strike against Cyrus pushing him back. When Gitanta uses a second attack Cyrus blocks and holds against it with his sword “why are you doing this?! What do you want from me?” Cyrus Screams “to see what you are truly capable of” Gitanta says “Repent you’re pathetic life Cyrus Rogox. Scythe wheel!” Gitanta spins his scythe using the wind colliding against Cyrus’s blade “aaahhh Raikei!” Cyrus shoots crimson lightning from his blade striking around Gitanta and closes in on him electrocuting his body “gaahhh!!” Gitanta Scythe pulls back to his hands while he falls on his knees trying to shake off the effects of the attack “hahahaha you are something aren’t you but still testing you isn’t going to make you defeat the shojin not even close” “who are you just tell me what you want with me” said Cyrus catching his breath “I am Gitanta and I am a Grim Reaper” “a what?!” said Cyrus “I will tell you this we are not the shojin we have deep hatred for them. Now I see why my leader took a like into you. You have interesting way of fighting. Another time I will tell you more but for now we must part Cyrus Rogox. Hahahaha” Gitanta disappears into a shadow and escapes “what in the world is going on lately. Why me?” said Cyrus. The Next day Cyrus gets up from another bad dream about Sara and his encounter with Gitanta then Baxter barges in his room “Cyrus get up we got a date with going out and seeing our friends. Hey Cyrus come on buddy don’t tell me you’re still acting weird again” said Baxter shaking Cyrus “what? Oh don’t worry that’s done with” said Cyrus trying to hide his true feelings. The two arrive on earth to meet up with Naomi, Linda, Johnny, and Kayla which Cyrus’s worries start to go away since he got see his friends waiting for him.

Linda walks up to Cyrus and hugs him after such a while of not seeing each other with Johnny and Kayla following her. However when everyone becomes happy with each other Sara looks down from a building seeing that happiness so she remembers when Cyrus and she were once happy together when they were friends before she was killed and Sara starts to remember the happiness from Cyrus. “Cyrus we’re friends right and we will always be friends” said Sara. “Forever and always nothing will break our bond”. Sara gets a vision of her death “you lied to me Cyrus” Said Sara jumping from the building and attacking with several shojin warriors wearing their masks “You fucking lied to me” Sara screams out “shit” said Cyrus “who is that” said Naomi. Sara’s tanto blade matches against Cyrus’s sword “damn it I don’t have time to play around with you right now” said Cyrus pushing her back while the shojin warriors attack Cyrus’s friends. “You lied about everything Cyrus there is no such thing as happiness” said Sara with anger in her voice. Sara uses a technique called Najo which creates lava coming from her body which Cyrus dodges while using crimson wave at her so she dodges and turns her feet into stone using the ground to her advantage grabbing Cyrus from underneath and crushes his body. Cyrus escapes by turning his body into crystals and reappear from shards of crystals. Meanwhile the gang fight the shojin members together with Johnny taking out two titanium poles with extra density hitting one Shojin member in the face and knocking another into a wall. Kayla changes into a flame version of herself blasting flames at some of the Shojin members but when one of them comes from behind her ready to attack Linda grabs and throws him into a wall then Kicks him in the stomach. A shojin member name Kaomi join’s the fight using a chain sword and wraps it around Linda so Naomi breaks the chain with exploding crystals revealing her hybrid powers. “Hmm interesting so I guess it is true some of you survived” Kaomi throws up from his mouth a demon warrior with a staff full of horns. The demon warrior charges at Naomi until Baxter shoots it down with a laser rifle until it gets back up regenerating itself and attacks Baxter with full force sending him into the middle of the street. Naomi uses light crystals to discard the demon with positive energy making the demon explode into dust. “My creation! You witch you will pay for that” “you’re not going anywhere” said Oki showing up behind Kaomi so he backs away until Koru and Rina blocks his escape “it’s over shojin member” “it is isn’t it but only for you” said Kaomi clapping his hands together and creates and expands a ball of energy from his mouth “Sacrificial bomb” Kaomi explodes the area catching everyone in attack until Rina uses Rogox shield to protect everyone. “Hey guys you alright” said Cyrus “I would be focusing on me if I were you Cyrus” The two clash again with their swords. Cyrus swings his sword left while Sara dodges blocking with her blade then swings right missing Cyrus when he dodges so Sara cuts him on his left wrists and punches him in the face. Cyrus uses Crystal fist knocking Sara into a building and shoots crystals at her but just before they reach her Sara gets angry after getting memories of her and Cyrus smiling each other “You fucking asshole!!” a surge of power surrounds Sara as she repels Cyrus’s attacks and surrounds herself with visible energy “I will show you why you will never get rid of me” “Cyrus!” yells Naomi “no not this attack” Said Cyrus. Before Sara makes contact with Cyrus the Rokken appears between them blocking and hitting Sara with its tails then roars towards her. Cyrus pets Rokken and mounts him running towards Sara holding a crimson sword. Sara slowly gets up getting memories of when they were friends “why-why did you not follow my dream” as Sara struggles to stand Lord Krius protects her by grabbing the Rokken with one hand and makes it fade away then places his hand on Cyrus’s chest shooting a blast of energy sending him flying so Naomi catches him. “Sara you fought well, it seems that are time to kill Cyrus Rogox is not now so come on home” said Lord Krius “but I almost got him I just need to” “Sara don’t forget our dream” “I understand. Don’t look so serious everyone you’re lucky you all survived this time but next time none of you won’t be so lucky and Cyrus will die just like he killed me” Sara and Lord Krius enter and exit a portal together.

A day later everyone sits in Lord Kendro’s room waiting for Cyrus to wake up “so I assume all of you know that the Shojin has returned” said Kendro “damn it I can’t believe this is actually happening” said Johnny “Koru is it true what you told me about Cyrus and this Sara” said Kendro “oh yea I saw it, looks like they had history together” said Korus “but who is she I mean why attack Cyrus and what did she mean by she was killed by him” said Naomi “I don’t have a clue and I’m his sister” said Rina “these are all interesting questions but we know one thing the Shojin have showed themselves but going after Cyrus that we don’t know there has to be a connection” said Kendro sitting at his desk. Finally Cyrus wakes up and enters the room with everyone giving him a concerning look. “Hey guys I’m glad you’re alright” said Cyrus “who was that girl Cyrus” “who?” “Cyrus everyone has told me what happened today and I think we have the right to know who this Sara is” “I don’t know what you’re talking about I don’t know her” said Cyrus with no expression on his face. Koru grabs his shirt “are you fucking kidding this is serious Cyrus. Don’t give me a reason to punch you right now while you’re still recovering” said Koru “take it easy Koru” said Oki “Cyrus we know you know that girl from somewhere so please tell us” said Rina Cyrus slowly closes his eyes “she’s nobody just a lonely shojin member who just so happen to attack me that’s all there’s nothing else” Cyrus decides to leave the room with Rina trying to restrain Koru “that’s bullshit Cyrus! Cyrus!” Cyrus leaves the palace and sees Naomi following him “you’re wondering too well I don’t have an answer for you” said Cyrus “we’re just trying to help you Cyrus now please tell me how do you know this girl and why does she hate you so much” said Naomi hearing nothing but silence “please Cy” “I can’t tell you. I made a promise to myself to her that I wouldn’t tell anyone but…now I feel like I can’t hold on to that promise anymore because of recent events I knew you guys would figure out eventually. So I guess I can tell you” Cyrus and Naomi head back inside where everyone still sits in Kendro’s room and Koru has finally calm down. “Ok what about to tell all of you is a secret that I’ve been hiding since I was a little kid up till now so bear with me. When was three years old I had no one to play with sure I played with other kids but not all of them wanted to play with me because of who my family was. One day I was looking up at earth wondering if was going to go there until this strange girl came up to me. I knew she wasn’t a trasaries because of the way she looked “hi” said Cyrus “what’s your name” “Sara” “do you want to play with me Sara” “ok” Sara giving a happy smile. I didn’t think any of it that time but the girl was a super human otherwise she wouldn’t of been there so we would play together every day however I didn’t let no one know. Cyrus and Sara lay on the ground looking up at the earth and moon while they are at the playground “Cyrus you have to promise me not to tell anyone about me it’s our secret or I’m going to be mad at you” said Sara “I promise relax no one hasn’t found out so far so don’t worry” “Cyrus this is so great every time I hang out with you it’s like I feel so happy and free” said Sara. Three years later when we were six years old we were training together with our fighting skills I would always challenge her to see if she learned anything new but things went different at that time my dad came home from the war and I started become friends with Baxter. I hid Sara away from Baxter to keep my promise and making sure no one didn’t know still. When we were seven Sara secretly comfort me when my clan got destroyed. Cyrus cries “it’s alright Cyrus” said Sara holding him in her arms “they’re all dead my entire clan is gone I’m all alone” said Cyrus crying his eyes out “but you’re not alone because I’m right here with you I always will be” said Sara “yea and I will always be here for you”. That’s the Sara that I knew and cared about and from then on we knew we were meant to be friends” Cyrus decides to take a break from telling then sees everyone looking shocked.

Cyrus tells the rest of the story “I’m going to tell you guys why Sara hates me so much now. One day Sara wasn’t acting herself two years after my clan was wiped out “what? What do you mean you want to be a shojin member” said Cyrus “it’s like I said I’ve told you all about the shojin and their history I even told you who I really am and if I revive the shojin think about all the possibilities it can hold for earth” said Sara with a Cynical look on her face “but all the terrible things the Shojin have done why go down that path instead stay with me as my best friend” Sara draws out her sword “don’t you see this path was made for you and me come join me Cyrus you and I were meant to be together forever remember our promise” said Sara “I can’t do it I’m sorry but that’s not the path I want to follow” “I see well then I guess I have no choice but make you” Sara runs towards Cyrus aim her sword at him. Cyrus reacts with his sword blocking the attack “you will follow my dream even if I have to hurt you” Sara uses lightning to electrocute Cyrus but he quickly gets up and jumps from tree to tree dodging Sara’s powers of all five elements “don’t do this Sara you can still change your destiny” said Cyrus still dodging the attacks “my destiny has already happened and no one will stop me not even you” Cyrus appears behind Sara with speed and stabs her in the back through her stomach “ah-why? How could you do this” “I already have a destiny but I don’t have to stick it like you do. I’m sorry Sara I didn’t want to kill you but you left me no choice” Cyrus’s starts shedding tears as he pulls his sword from Sara’s body then watches her fall down on the ground with blood spilling out of her stomach “y-you and I we-we were supposed to be together forever. You broke your promise so this is how our friendship ends. You will never let me go no matter how hard you try to forget this will haunt you until you die and even then it won’t go away a-ah”. I took her body and buried her where no one could find her so I hid her corpse at Soen Mountain near Moji village. Since then I acted around Baxter and Lord Boderus like nothing was wrong and pretended Sara never existed even this whole time with all of you here I never not once thought of telling any of you this until now. Sara was right this was going to come back to haunt me and it did. I don’t care anymore if she wants to kill me then I hope she does it quick I deserve it well thanks for all of you to listen to my secret that I’ve been holding on for so long but I think I’m going to get some air” Cyrus leaves the room feeling like he’s been freed from a long life in a prison box.

Cyrus looks up at earth and the bright moon with wind blowing against him in the night then Naomi joins “so that was a really big secret” “look if your mad I understand but I had many stupid reasons why I hid this from everyone” “Cyrus I’m not mad I’m proud of you for saying all that. It must of put such a burden on you this whole time and well I just want you to know I’m here for you” said Naomi “we’re all here for you” said Lord Kendro and everyone comes to join Cyrus “I’m sorry Cyrus if I knew all that I wouldn’t of yelled at you” said Koru “By the way I’m cool with you dating my sister. And Baxter I’m sorry I didn’t tell you all this” “just one thing I’m still your number one best friends right?” “Yes you are” “So Kendro what happens to us now that the Shojin are back” said Linda “the only thing we can do try not to engage them because we don’t know what they are planning ourselves” “I think I might know. Sara isn’t just an ordinary super human…she’s actually Yukura’s daughter” said Cyrus “what?!” everyone shouts. Meanwhile back at Lord Krius’s hideout Sara prays to Yukura’s statue while Lord Krius stares at her then his eyes look towards the statue with the moon shining from the hole of the cavern. “Father I will bring you back to this world” said Sara kneeling down and praying “Sara it’s time to go” said Krius. The two of them enter the main hall with a large number of shojin members gathering around them along with Zukius wearing their masks of different colors of demons “my brothers and sisters I gather you all here for one reason and that’s the return of the Shojin. We will finally come out of the shadows and take back what is rightfully ours. The entire earth is our home with the might of energy from our god Yukura we will together take back the earth and make everything ours once again” said Krius with all the shojin cheering him on “Soon we will bring back our father of super humans, our god of super humans, our savior of being persecuted as monsters, Yukura!” said Krius holding his hands up in the air with great confidence in his goals. Sara looks at everyone and turns to Lord Krius “father I’m coming for you” said Sara closing her eyes and folding her hands together. The next day on Ion Cyrus and Baxter roam around the city trying to have fun after everything that’s been revealed to them. “So Cyrus what do you want to do today” said Baxter “we can go to the underground facility and create new weapons in case of a shojin attack. Hey are you listening to me” Baxter says again. Cyrus stares into nothing until he sees a black smoke appear in the middle of the dirt with several skull masked strangers with different weapons show up in front them. “Who the hell are they? Is it the shojin” said Baxter “no the shojin have demon masks these guys have different masks. Gitanta I know one of them is you so come on out” “huh Cyrus what’s going on how do you know these guys”. One of the Grim Reapers shows up closer towards Cyrus and Baxter with a black skull mask and white eyes “Cyrus Rogox, my name is Hekios I am the leader of the Grim Reapers and we’ve come to fight you” said Hekios removing his mask “Baxter! Get Lord Kendro and the others right away” “but what about you” “don’t worry about it I can handle myself against these guys now go” “ok” Baxter leaves while looking back “Cyrus be careful”. “Why do you want to fight me?” “To see if you’re strong enough” said Hekios taking out his own scythe “Scythe of death!” “Crimson sword!” the two clash their blades together while the other Grim reapers prepare to attack starting with a Grim Reaper name Vhan “blades of pain” Vhan throws his blades at Cyrus making him back away from Hekios and blocking the blades. From above a grim reaper name Rizara attacks Cyrus “katana of blood” Cyrus moves his blade towards Rizara while kicking Hekios away from him. Two grim reapers name Emma and Jett show up from left and right side of Cyrus with quick speed “Rope of confinement” said Jett “Mace of gracefulness” said Emma. The rope gets attached to Cyrus while he also gets hit from the Mace pushing back. Rizara jumps from the air about to strike Cyrus until Cyrus shoots Raikei sparks at Rizara blinding him. Another grim reaper come from Cyrus’s shadow name Kagon “shadows of shame” Kagon creates a shadows to attack Cyrus while a giant grim reaper name Catus tries to catch Cyrus to squeeze him to death “fists of stone” the fists knocks into Cyrus pushing him far into the rogox village. “That’s enough everyone. Just as I thought you aren’t as strong as people say you are. Cyrus you defeated enemies that no one could ever have done but I guess you’re weak now. What was it? Is it because of your reunion with your former friend Sara? Trust me I know all about you even if you never heard of us” said Hekios standing over Cyrus who’s knocked out. “Get up Cyrus!” Hekios yells “fine then I have no choice but to kill you” Hekios raises his Scythe to strike until Cyrus’s eyes open and grows a darkness arm coming from his back grabbing the blade of the scythe. “Don’t ever underestimate me!” Cyrus covers himself with creator and destroyer energy giving off light and dark visible energy surrounding him towards everybody. Cyrus disappears and reappears next to Hekios punching him in the face then Kagon appears to mock Cyrus’s shadow but instead separates from his shadow grabbing it and destroying it. Emma and Jett use the same attack as before until it backfires when Cyrus deflects the mace and aims it at Jett’s rope cutting between it then spin kicks Emma in the head. Catus, Rizara, Vhan, and Gitanta all charge with their weapons at Cyrus when suddenly Cyrus makes a load roar from the Rokken’s power and blasts everything around him away with immense force. Hekios charges at Cyrus with his scythe when all of a sudden Cyrus appears right beside Hekios kicking and punching his back until he forces him to the ground. Cyrus’s creator mode shuts off and looks down Hekios “Look I don’t know why you guys were so interested in fighting me but I’m not going to let you or the shojin decide what I can or can’t do. I am Cyrus Rogox and I follow my own way of life” said Cyrus while Hekios hears the words he remembers something from his past.

Hekios slowly gets up from the ground and makes a grin “hmm you are strong there’s no doubt about that you are definitely his son” said Hekios standing on his two feet while the other grim reapers stand behind him “what did you say?” said Cyrus “there’s a reason why we wanted to fight to see if you are really Aroku’s son and seems you’ve surpassed him. Yes I knew who your father was Cyrus I fought with him against the shojin eons ago” said hekios removing his masked then they others remove their masks as well. Cyrus looks at Hekios who has only one eye “wait my father never said anything to me about fighting the shojin” “I see so he never told you I guess secrecy runs in the family. We grim reapers were once humans and we were the ones who rose up against the shojin and fought against them using our special power armor. I was the first to create the human uprising” Cyrus becomes shocked “it was you! I can’t believe it” said Cyrus “your father was the one who vouched for me and had the trasaries to fight alongside the humans to save our race from being controlled by the shojin and in doing so thanks to him our fellow human kind succeeded but we died by the shojin during different battles with them. That’s why we ask you as we did with your father to fight with us against the shojin once again” Hekios and the other grim reapers bow their heads in front of Cyrus “I feel honored and I will accept but I want you guys to think of me as your friend not just an ally ok” said Cyrus smiling and putting his arm on Hekios shoulder “this kid he truly is your son Aroku. I’m sure he will do amazing things one day”. Meanwhile Lord kendro, Koru, Oki, Rina, and Baxter appear preparing to fight but Lord kendro takes a good look at the strangers “it can’t be is that really you Hekios” said Lord Kendro “yes it’s been a long time old friend” said Hekios smiling “wait you two know each other” “like your father Kendro was another person I fought with back in the Shojin wars” said Hekios. Lord Kendro looks at the other grim reapers faces and remembers them “you’re all welcome inside the palace I will explain things there” said Lord kendro. Everyone sits around Lord Kendro’s quarters with nothing but silence and staring each other down in the room “well this is an interesting situation never I thought I would see you guys but at least now I know what the anomaly that I was trying to figure out was it was you Hekios but I don’t get the whole grim reaper thing” said Lord Kendro scratching his head “after we were killed we made a deal with the death king Kaimaru he offered us a chance to live and serve him until our mission is done. Unfortunately we had to wait for this long that’s why we became grim reapers but only take out the lives of evil people” Hekios looks his team and Cyrus’s friends staring at each other “Gee you guys look like you’re on edge” said Baxter “the Shojin are back of course we’re on edge. What you think we are on edge because of you, please” said Jett “Kaimaru huh I thought he was an old myth” said Lord Kendro “he also stop the shojin as the earth means something to him” said Hekios “I came here to make Cyrus understand that the shojin threat is serious and if he’s strong enough to go against their true power then we can get rid of them for good also I wanted to see Aroku’s son but apparently he had a daughter as well. I see” “listen up everyone we all know why we are together right now and it seems we’re not alone in this so we have a fighting chance against the shojin however this is still not enough. I hate to ask this of you Hekios but what are the chances of you fighting alongside super humans?” “I don’t trust super humans especially if the shojin are around but I heard of super human alliance has formed so I will observe them first but you do realize they are the ones who are going to be difficult to trust” said Hekios. “I know you don’t trust super humans but if we don’t gather as many allies as we can then how are we going to have a chance to beat them. I know one thing I’m not going to let the Shojin take over everything or let Sara try to destroy me so I’m going to convince as many people as possible” said Cyrus “you admire his spirit in life” said Hekios “that’s Cyrus for you” said Lord Kendro. Cyrus turns around to look outside the window then looks up at earth “we fight as one” said Cyrus smiling.

Any song recommendations? (I want all the emo stuff you have! ;)

OKAY OKAY HERE WE GO (i excluded the super famous ones like wttbp or sugar we’re going down)1) Miserable At Best - Mayday ParadeThis is an emo classic too but since you ignore the lesbian video I need to promote this band somewhere elseIt’s a really slow song but the guy has a piercing voice and it just lures you into the atmosphere (it’s a perfect song for daydreaming too). It may seem boring but PLEASE stay till the endand don’t get me started on the lyrics (by the way this is the song that i’m mouthing every time our english teacher says the word miserable)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqM3Dr7agjY

2) Misery Business - ParamoreThis band is actually female fronted so your feminist side can enjoy this too lol (btw it’s from 2007 and I swear she’s even more beautiful now)This is just the 00′s rebellious pop punk/rock that all the emo teens liked and it still somehow stands outhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCyGvGEtOwc3) Mr. Brightside & Somebody Told Me - both by The KillersYeah they are separate songs but they’re the lead singles of Hot Fuss and they’re both great so I didn’t know which one to put hereYou probably know Mr. Brightside since it’s a meme now, but if you really listen to the song you start to get into it, you start to understand the lyrics and... Brandon Flowers’ voice is just weirdly attractive to me and just the way that he opens his mouth (idk i swear i don’t have a kink on this)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5fBdpreJiUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGdGFtwCNBE4) We The KingsWe The Kings are a band, not a song, but just THEM as a concept needed to be here. They have like two hits (Sad Song which is known in the mainstream AND Check Yes, Juliet which is known in the emo community and that’s wild to me), they don’t have an interesting aesthetic, they aren’t conventionally attractive - they just aren’t really special but they still are somehow. It’s like the friend that once did a really cool thing and everyone respects them for that but otherwise no one actually knows them. Oh and they did a cover of The Story Of Tonight from Hamilton.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CUyWJ7UINMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZsXcc_tC-ohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O-i3TvFZXA5) Satellite - Rise AgainstRebellious name, but they’re just a bunch of vegetarian straight edge guys that sing about politics. Oh and their newest album sucks. But my brother played them in the car in the summer of 2014 and that’s what started my emo phase, actually. So I kinda owe them something? Anyways Satellite, Prayer Of The Refugee, Savior, Ready To Fall, I Don’t Want To Be Here Anymore, Behind Closed Doors and Injection (I HAVE INJECTION STILL IN MY PHONE FOUR YEARS AFTER) are absolute bangers. You’ll fall in love with them instantly.https://youtu.be/6nQCxwneUwA6) Hero - SkilletMy friend from elementary school loved them and had their name written on her backpack and I was curious what “Skillet” meant so I looked it up and watched Hero. Oh my god I felt like I’ve finally found what I love (and yeah, I had a top 40 phase after but I returned to rock haha). They’re a christian band, but they have some powerful lyrics too. They have two grammys oh my god and Jen Ledger (the drummer and the second vocalist) is my 2014 crush hahaAnd I recommend Monster too, that was the second song I had in my phone lolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGcsIdGOuZY7) Sleeping With SirensThe emoest of the emos - they had the looks, they have the lyrics, they have the feminine sounding vocalist and besides BVB they probably have the most bad memes and cringy quote images made about them. For me it’s actually the two newest albums (Madness and Gossip) that most people hate but I love - maybe because his voice really stands out. They have a screaming past too, but you know. If You can’t Hang is a classic and If I’m James Dean, Then You’re Audrey Hepburn is probably even a bigger classic that teenage girls loved seven years ago and other teenage girls love now. Better Off Dead and Madness are just THE songs for me, if you understand - they’re painfully relatable.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poZLiypLJzQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UwWYtLWEZghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIH25CP2wc4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJvxagr5rV88) Circles - Pierce The VeilEmo mexicans, wow that’s a weird combination BUT IT WORKS SO WELL. Pierce The Veil are best friends with SWS and they have the same things that I listed above. I included Circles AND two songs that are my favorites for Vic, not for PTV. But Kellin Quinn is the lead guy from SWS and All Time Low are the third band to their trinity and I recommend them too! (#missinglow lol)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucN-iv4QVWwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDbVY3gCJgghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icXUkIfZxyg9) ...black veil bridesAnother band with veil in the title. I sigh everytime I see them because Andy Biersack is just the guy that one half of the emo community hates and one half loves maybe too much (i feel like the perfect question to determine someone’s cringiness is “what do you think of andy biersack?”) and I’m somewhere in the middle. This band is my guilty pleasure, their music isn’t too good technically (like seriously, their albums sound the same - ARTV said the perfect thing: “You heard one, you heard them all.”) but Andy has a unique voice and I just can’t believe he’s only 26 with all that he’s accomplished... But I feel that Andy Biersack is the Adam Levine of rock. (Oh my god I love this metaphor sijdisjd I just came up with that NOW? It’s perfect.) No one really knows the other band guys, he has a somehow interesting voice, good looks, he’s somehow respected in the community... (and no one believes they’re the age they actually are)Here you have Goodbye Agony, In The End, Wake Up and... Knives And Pens. Knives and Pens is just really weird to watch because that’s the stereotypical emo song, expect that it started a wave. You know what wave I’m talking about. And yeah, the guy in Wake Up is the same guy that’s in Knives and Pens. UNBELIEVABLE RIGHT? (and he was like 16 or 17 in knives and pens...) Oh but Andy’s solo stuff is really good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-cxPIOAfSkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0EQlIzPowMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBB37gsHJmQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFDCHdKbKBY

10) UNDER THE LADDER - MÉLOVIN

I’M SORRY BUT YOU SAW THAT COMINGTHIS IS THE SONG THAT I WILL BE OBSESSING OVER FOR TWO MONTHS, THEN FORGET ABOUT IT AND IN FIVE YEARS I’LL FIND IT, LOOK AT MELOVIN IN 2023 AND HAVE A GOOD CRY. OH AND THIS IS EUROVISION BY THE WAY AND IT WAS R O B B E D LIKE WTF JURY? LAST? SERIOUSLY? LOOK AT HOW SAD HE WAS OH MY GOD AND I ACTUALLY WANTED TO CRY WHEN THAT HAPPENED BUT THEN THE TELEVOTES CAME HAHA TAKE THAT, SWEDEN i’m so sorry for people that don’t watch eurovisionanyway, this song is really good, he has a great voice, he looks emo, he talks about emo things (but in ukrainian because he knows like ten words in english) in interviews, he seems older than he is and you can’t understand a word he says perfectBUT LOOK AT HOW PRECIOUS HE IS IN THE END WHEN HE SMILES AND- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhOuMYtQ94M

Chapter 8

Tuesday, January 21, 2014

After Regina left the loft and Snow decided to go to help David with some problems at Storybrook, Livie had begged her to wear her red jacket so they would look alike. "Please, mommy! Please, please, please" she had been insisting for thirty minutes until Emma sighed and ended up accepting what the little girl wanted.

Now, she was here, sitting on her bed while she donned her red jacket, matching with her five-year-old. Suddenly Emma felt the bed shake and before she could turn to see what was happening, she felt Livie's arms wrap around her neck.

"Now we are alike, Mommy!" Livie almost screamed as she bounced softly on the bed.

"I think we are" Emma replied, she turned her body, enough to see Livie face to face. "Are you happy now?"

Livie nodded vigorously and spread her arms to either side to show her mother how happy she was "All this, Mommy"

Emma laughed "Wow, that's a lot of happiness, Livie"

"Uh huh!" Livie grinned "And you, mommy?"

"Well, let me see-" Emma mimicked the same movement of Livie with her arms and smiled when the girl opened her mouth in a perfect "O" completely entranced "Is that enough?"

"That's a lot too." Livie smiled and sat on her mother's lap, their bodies facing each other, Livie's green eyes staring directly at hers.

Slowly, Livie's small hand moved until it touched Emma's cheek and gently ran her fingers over her face. "Mommy, you look different." Livie said as she contoured every faction of her mommy. Her eyes, her eyebrows, her mouth.

The comment took her off guard, Emma could feel Livie's fingers caressing her face, and she swallowed. "Yeah," she whispered as her hand took Livie's hand. "But I'm still mommy."

Livie nodded slowly, accepting the answer as a soft smile appeared on her lips. "And I still love you," she replied simply.

Emma held her breath when she heard Livie's simple and sincere reply, and for a moment she felt an overwhelming and unexpected love for the child. Her lips curved into a soft smile and even with Livie's small hand in hers, she brought it to her mouth and gave her a tender kiss, knowing that for the moment, she wasn't ready to answer her with words.

"Mommy, can I tell you a secret?" Livie whispered.

Emma took a lock of Livie's hair and passed it behind her ear. "What?" She said, mimicking the tone of the girl's voice.

"I liked our sleepover, and I like being with grandma and grandpa, but-" She paused and bit her lip nervously "But I miss home and I miss daddy. Maybe next time we can invite him with us. "

Emma smiled "That's a good idea," she said. Livie nodded and laid her head on her mother's shoulder.

Emma could feel Livie's breath against her chest as she stroked the girl's back, following the pattern of imaginary circles on her back. For a brief moment she had felt the need to step back and take a breath, but feeling Livie's small hands holding her blouse as if her life depended on it, she had left the idea aside.

Emma rubbed her back one last time and looked down at Livie. She was still too young to understand what was really happening, too young to understand why her mommy looked different. She took a deep breath as a small and soft smile appeared on her lips. "Hey, Grandma made some delicious cookies, how about we eat one before the meal?"

"And can we make hot cocoa?"

Emma laughed "If you want" she replied and got out of bed at the same time that a cry of joy came from her daughter's mouth. Livie extended her arms to Emma, and she put her on her hip in a movement she was already perfecting.

Saturday, January 21, 2023

"He's playing with us," Emma said in a tone of voice between desperate and angry.

She looked at her watch for the fifth time and sighed in frustration. She clenched her fists, struggling for control and squeezed her jaw angrily as she walked in circles around the loft trying to stay calm, but it was useless, every minute that passed her patience ended.

"Emma, please, you need to calm down." She heard her mother say.

At the sound of it, Emma stopped immediately as if she had been struck and looked at the brunette. She loved her parents but sometimes their irritated her. Their natural instinct to see the positive side and stay calm was exhausting even when she knew that was something good. But there was no way she could stay calm when her daughter was in the hands of someone like Gold. "It's been hours," she began slowly. "It's Gold we're talking about. He found a way to get back to Storybooke, steal the dagger, get close to Livie and take her away and we do not know anything about him"

Snow breathed deeply with sadness and slowly nodded. "I know it's hard to see, but villains never win, Emma. And you more than anyone should know that, yo-

Emma rolled her eyes in exasperation "I haven't seen Livie since yesterday morning," She interrupted angrily. "I think this time villains are winning. I don't know if she is okay, if she is hungry, if she is afraid, or if she is hurt. I don't know anything about my daughter and Gold is-"

"And Gold is getting what he wants" This time it was David who spoke "This. This is what he is looking for, he wants to see you desperate. All of us."

"Well, his plan is working!" Emma said fiercely, looking at her father.

"Love!" She heard Killian's voice. He walked towards her while his gaze pointed to her hands, the same place where her parents had their look. She lowered her gaze and saw the glow radiating from her own hands. "Are you okay?" Killian whispered worriedly.

"I-sorry." Emma shook her hands, trying to gradually reduce their glow. "My powers, I- Regina always says they're born of the emotions, this is not helping." Killian nodded and took her hands in his, strongly.

"Emma," her mother said again. "We are many who are looking for her, and no one will stop until we find her, and we will find her because that is what this family does, we always find each other. It's the rule. "

Emma nodded as she repeated her mother's words in her head and with a deep breath she looked at Killian who smiled sadly.

"Okay, I called Henry-" Regina's voice suddenly said as she walked through the loft door and everyone looked at her. She narrowed her eyes and looked at each of them. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, what's up?" Emma said.

"I called Henry, he and Neal were coming back from New York, but I told him to stay longer until we figure out what Gold wants"

Emma nodded. "Right now it's better that they stay in New York than here in Storybrook"

"That's what I thought" Regina said looking at Emma, then, in a low voice, she asked "Is there any news?"

Emma shook her head slowly "Nothing"

Regina sighed "I can try with another spell to-"

"The crocodile knows we would," Killian interrupted her "He probably already did something to keep us from finding her. He has us where exactly he wanted" He sigh irritated and this time it was Emma who clasped his hands between hers. "I wish I could bury that dagger in his heart an-

"Then it would be your name in the dagger" she said softly and stroked his cheek. "Let's wait for him to come and we'll follow the rules of his game, but only until we know what he's done with Livie"

"Aye, love"

Tuesday, January 21, 2014

In just one night and just over half a day, Emma Swan had realized how difficult it was to keep a 5-year-old entertained. She looked at her watch and sighed heavily. God, she thought, wasn't even one o'clock in the afternoon and she felt that it had been almost a week since the time she had awakened.

At this point she was no longer sure how many different games she had played with Livie, and she was not sure how many times she had given her a cookie to keep her silent, because if she had noticed something, it was that every time that the girl had a cookie in her small mouth, she managed to get at least five minutes of silence.

But Livie was no longer accepting cookies and she didn't want to continue playing, or painting or anything her mother suggested in the apartment and she could not blame her. She was beginning to feel irritated by being inside the loft for so long, or what seemed to be. Emma took a deep breath and shook her head, Definitely, having tried to play hide and seek with Livie had not been the best idea, not when the girl had returned with a disgusted grimace and had told her that the loft was not as fun to hide as it was her house, the park, or Regina's house.

"Look, mommy!" She heard Livie's voice again. She was on the couch, her little face sticking out of the window facing Storybrook's street. "Today is a sunny day, daddy says that sunny days are good for going to the park and going to the ocean" Livie tried again.

She was trying to convince her mother to take her to the park, or anywhere that meant leaving the four walls they were in. But Emma breathed heavily. Going to the streets of Storybrook with a girl who was just like her and who also tell her 'mommy', no way.

Storybrook was a small town and it was easy to find someone you knew and seeing Neal Cassidy was not an option. She was definitely not ready for that family reunion.

"Livie, please, go and draw something" Emma said as she approached the girl and smiled falsely "It's going to be fun"

Livie took her face out of the window and turned her head to see her mother. "Mommy, but I already did a lot of drawings for you and daddy." She frowned and put her lips "I don't want to do more, it's boring"

"Well, you can make drawings for grandpa and grandma" she tried.

Livie rolled her eyes and sighed dramatically "I don't want to. I'm bored to be here"

Emma swallowed and regretted that her mother was not there at the time, she would surely know how to entertain the child. "Hey, but this place is huge, we can find a lot of fun in here" she lied.

Livie shook her head and got out of the couch. "I want to go home, all my toys are there," she whispered in disgust.

Emma sighed "I know, but here, we can do a-"

"Why don't you call daddy?" Livie interrupted her, still with a grimace on her face, which Emma would have considered really cute if her lower lip was not threatening to tremble. "He likes to go to the park. Calls daddy and tell him."

Emma leaned on her knees to be at the same height as the girl "I don't think he can," she said in an apologetic tone.

"Why?" Livie cried with trembling lip "I miss him"

Hell, it was her first thought when she saw the first little tear fall from Livie's eyes, now she made her cry. God job, Emma, she thought.

Livie's eyes were completely wet and she could hear her uneven breaths. Emma breathed deeply and stroked Livie's cheek gently wiping one of her tears. "Okay, okay, don't cry" she said nervously.

"I-I-wa-wanna-go home, a-and s-see d-da-daddy" Livie sobbed, her tears falling back to her cheeks before she hid her face in Emma's neck and hugged her tightly.

"Oh-" was the only thing Emma managed to say when Livie practically leaped at her, she slowly raised her hands and stroked her back trying to comfort the child.

"Call daddy, mommy." Livie begged and Emma felt her heart break. God, she hated tears and more when it came to her children. Emma took Livie in her arms and got up carefully to sit with her on the couch.

This was her fault and now she had to fix it. "Hey," she said softly. "What do you say if I call daddy and tell him to come here?"

Livie lifted her head slowly and rubbed her eyes. "Is he going to come here?" She asked quietly.

Emma swallowed and sighed. "I think he will" she replied, knowing she couldn't avoid the future any longer, and even if she could, seeing Livie's sad face, she didn't want to continue doing it. Livie wanted her home and her daddy, and although she could not give her one of those things because she had no idea what house it was, she could give her the other one, her daddy. "But you have to stop crying. Deal?"

Livie snuffled "Deal, mommy"

Emma smiled softly and stroked Livie's still red face. "Okay, then." She kissed her forehead as she heard the front door open. "I'm in home!" She heard Snow's cheerful voice.

"We're here," Emma said quickly and saw Snow's confused look when she saw her granddaughter, and before she could ask anything, Emma looked at her in that way that said 'We need to talk, later'. Snow nodded.

DGB Grab Gag: Retconning the Knights, Touching Trophies, and Good Ol' Kerry Fraser

Three Stars of Comedy

The third star: The Golden Knights are feeling it – Laugh it up now, guys. Let's see how glib you are when you go through some rough times. You know, eventually. Probably some time in 2023 or so.

The second star: Ryan Miller's three-year-old son – This kid goes right for the jugular. I respect that.

The first star: This photo – I don't say this lightly, but this might be my favorite NHL photo of all time. Sorry, Bobby Orr, you had a good run. But this one captures the yin and the yang of what the league is all about: the overwhelming excitement of a game-winning goal, and the eye-rolling annoyance of basically everything else. It's perfect.

Debating the Issues

Editor's note: Due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict, this week's regularly scheduled debate is not available. In its place, please enjoy this rerun from June 2017.

This week’s debate: The expansion draft was held last night, and the Vegas Golden Knights finally have a roster. And wow, are they ever super-good! But was it wrong for the NHL to make it so easy for the Knights to become the Stanley Cup favorites right out of the gate?

In favor: I think it was. Sure, we all want to see new teams succeed, and nobody wants to go back to the days when the Senators or Capitals were terrible for years before they could build anything resembling a competitive team. But with last night's draft, the pendulum seems to have swung way too far to the other side. Because man, as everyone agrees, the Golden Knights are stacked.

Opposed: Well I… wait, sorry, what's happening here?

In favor: I mean, sure, it would be nice if the Knights could be in the playoff race in year one. We'd all have been on board with that. But instead, the league gift-wrapped the Knights with a championship roster from day one. I mean, talk about making it way too easy.

Opposed: They… they did?

In favor: Oh for sure. Imagine being one of the other teams in the Pacific, or even the Western Conference. You've been building up a team for years, hoping to contend someday. And then suddenly, you know you have no chance next year, because the league went and rigged the expansion draft to give the Golden Knights all the good players!

Opposed: [squinting at roster] I don't see any good players.

In favor: Look closer, because as fans around the league are unanimously declaring right now and certainly not with hindsight, the Knights are loaded. What team wouldn't want to start with established superstars like David Perron, Erik Haula, and Alex Tuch?

Opposed: I mean, those players are fine, I guess. But none of them are remotely considered stars.

In favor: And then there's Jonathan Marchessault, who's virtually guaranteed to score somewhere in the range of 74 to 76 points.

Opposed: He was good last year, but he's had one career season of more than 20 points.

In favor: And then there's William Karlsson. I mean, how could the league just hand these guys a 40-goal scorer?

Opposed: I… I don't actually know who William Karlsson is. What team did they get him from?

In favor: And then there's the goaltending.

Opposed: OK, yes, that's the one position we can agree on. Marc-Andre Fleury should be fine. He lost his job to a rookie in Pittsburgh, but he could absolutely give the Knights a solid option for a few years. As long as he stays healthy.

In favor: No, even if he gets hurt early and they have to use like five different goalies, they'll be totally fine.

Opposed: I don't understand anything you are saying right now.

In favor: And besides, Fleury will be healthy in time for the playoffs, at which point he'll turn into vintage Ken Dryden and lead the Knights to a Cup. Everyone is predicting this right now, in June of 2017.

Opposed: But Fleury has a reputation for being terrible in the playoffs.

In favor: And if having the best roster in the league isn't bad enough, the Knights also have the league's best coach (who was left at the curb by the Panthers) and the best GM (who made the Martin Erat trade). They're unbeatable! Everyone can see this!

Opposed: [looking around] what alternate reality is this?

In favor: The one where the expansion draft is rigged and everyone knows the league made it too easy on the Golden Knights. Duh.

Opposed: Yeah but, that's not what's happening. Everyone thinks the Knights drafted a terrible team. Literally every single person agrees on this point.

In favor: Well, everyone is wrong. And also, everyone is going to forget all about that by the time the Knights are about to win a Cup. Within about 11 months, we're all going to be complaining that the expansion draft was rigged and this was all inevitable.

Opposed: How do you know all this?

In favor: Uh, call it a hunch.

Opposed: Man. A Stanley Cup run? I'm just not seeing it. It seems impossible right now.

In favor: Trust me, it all works out.

Opposed: Wow. I guess this Shipachyov kid must turn out to be unstoppable.

In favor: Yeah, about that…

The final verdict: We hope you enjoyed this rerun from June 2017. The regularly scheduled debate feature will return soon.

Obscure Former Player of the Week

The Capitals actually won a Game 7 this week, and they did it on the strength of a Braden Holtby shutout. It's fair to say that that's a reversal of the typical pattern when it comes to this team. And the only thing more painful than watching the Capitals lose a Game 7 is watching the Capitals lose the equivalent of two Game 7s on one night. So this week, let's bestow obscure player honors to Bob Mason.

Mason was an undrafted goaltender out of the University of Minnesota-Duluth who signed with the Capitals shortly after playing for Team USA at the 1984 Olympics. He made his NHL debut in a handful of games that year, and spent most of the next two years in the minors while serving as an occasional backup in Washington.

That changed in 1986-87, when Mason spent the entire year in the NHL splitting the crease duties with Pete Peeters. The Caps made the playoffs and took a 3-1 series lead against the Islanders in the opening round, so you can probably guess where this is going. The Isles extended the series to a seventh game, and Mason got the start. It would end up being one of the most memorable game sevens in NHL history: The Easter Epic, a quadruple overtime thriller that ended on Pat LaFontaine's winner.

Mason's stunned reaction was one of the greatest Sad Goalie Slumps ever, and is burned into the memory of most Caps fans to this day.

Mason was picked as the third goalie for Team USA in that summer's World Cup; by then he'd signed with the Blackhawks as a free agent. He spent a year in Chicago before being dealt to Quebec and then back to Washington, and he finished his NHL career with a half-dozen appearances for the Canucks in 1991. He bounced around the AHL and IHL for a few more years before retiring, having played 145 NHL games.

Mason went on to a career in coaching, and has been the goaltending coach for the Minnesota Wild since 2002.

Outrage of the Week

The issue: Both the Capitals and Golden Knights capped off their conference final wins by touching the trophies. The outrage: You never touch the trophy! Is it justified: We can all agree this stupid tradition can end now, right?

It was cool for a while, with a neat sort of "We only have one goal" vibe to it. Then it morphed into a superstition, which was fine. But then, like everything else in hockey that's vaguely fun, it was almost immediately beaten into the ground. Playoff beards were cool too, until they became mandatory and 19-year-old kids who'd never shaved in their lives were suddenly being brow-beaten about it if they didn't show up looking like a stunt double for ZZ Top. When "Don't touch the trophy" went from suggestion to commandment, any fun drained out of it. Once the NHL marketing department starts promoting something, you know it's run its course.

But now that both teams have done it, one of two things will happen. One, they'll catch some rare strain of influenza from the trophy and the Final will be cancelled. Or two, we can all stop pretending this is a thing.

Here's hoping we over-correct by steering in the other direction, and it becomes a competition to see who can come up with the most creative way to engage with the conference final trophy. Skate it around. Dance with it. Paint a little face on it, wrap a jersey around it and make it sit on the bench during the final. Give it a name and everything. "This is Campbell, he's our backup goalie tonight."

Just touch it. Or don't, if that's your thing. But let's all stop pretending the whole thing is endlessly fascinating.

Classic YouTube Clip Breakdown

We've spent some time over the course of the year reliving the 1992-93 season, i.e. the best NHL season ever. That was 25 years ago, and it can be fun to check the calendar and see what was happening, or about to happen, during that frantic season a quarter-century ago.

Which means right about now would be when we'd get to … sigh … look, can we talk?

Maple Leaf fans, I know you're expecting it. But we don't have to do this. Just because you hit yourself in the face with a hammer 25 years ago doesn't mean you have to relive it every year for the rest of your life. Remember a few weeks ago when we did the Wendel Clark/Curtis Joseph clip? Remember how happy we all were? Back when Curtis Joseph's head exploded? Good times. We can stay that way. There's no reason to go any further.

Yeah, you're right. We really don't have a choice. Fine. Roll the clip.

So it's May 27, 1993, and no I didn't have to look that date up, thank you very much. The date has been ingrained in the heads of Maple Leafs fans ever since. Literally, in some cases—some of us got tattoos. Don't judge until you've been there.

Here's the situation. The Maple Leafs are in L.A. to face the Kings in Game 6 of the Western Conference Final. Toronto leads the series 3-2, meaning a win sends them to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 1967. Waiting for them there: the Montreal Canadiens. It's destiny. It's going to happen.

But first, the Kings, who apparently missed the memo about the inevitable Leafs/Habs showdown. They've given Toronto a tough game and held a 4-2 lead late in the third. But Wendel Clark tied it up with the goalie out, completing a hat trick and quite possibly the best individual game by a Maple Leaf in the modern era, so now we're in overtime. Can you guess what's about to happen?

If you said "the worst thing ever," then you win.

The Kings are on the powerplay because Glenn Anderson took the Target logo literally, and they're set up in the Leafs zone. But Wayne Gretzky's shot is blocked, and while going for the rebound he clips Doug Gilmour under the chin, drawing blood. That's an automatic five-and-a-game back in 1993. But will they call it?

Seriously, will they? I've watched this clip roughly ten thousand times and I keep waiting for the ending to change.

Gilmour goes right to referee Kerry Fraser, who confers with his linesman. Meanwhile, Harry Neale knows exactly what's up. "Wouldn't this be something if Wayne Gretzky was thrown out for a high-stick." Indeed, Harry. Wouldn't it, though.

I know the whole "Kerry Fraser has great hair" thing was beaten into the ground over the years, but good lord, he really did have great hair. Look at it. He's been skating hard for three hours at this point, and it's immaculate. Meanwhile, I get my hair cut and step outside into a slight breeze and I immediately look like Neil Hamburger. Life isn't fair.

So Fraser talks with his linesmen, who don't seem to have much to say. It goes without saying that Fraser took a ton of heat over what comes next, and to some extent the buck stops with him. But as Don Cherry pointed out two nights later, his linesmen could have bailed him out here. Any of the three could have made the call; none did. But Fraser has been hearing about it for 25 years, and most Leafs fans couldn't even tell you who the linesmen were. Did we mention the part about life not being fair?

Gretzky's guilty face here is the best. He's every little kid who ever wet his bed and really hopes mom and dad somehow don't notice.

We get a decent replay, which makes it clear that this is indeed a penalty. To this day you still hear people try to make the "It was on the follow-through" argument. Those people are liars who deserve to be in jail.

Now comes the weirdest part of the clip, especially if you're a fan that's heard about this play but never actually seen it. Neale is breaking down the replay, and just casually slips in a "They're not going to give him a penalty by the look of it," and the game just continues.

Really, that's it. Nobody's all that shocked. Pat Burns doesn't throw a fit. Gilmour barely complains. Neale and Bob Cole kind of shrug. And the game continues. That's the weird thing about this play in hindsight—at the time it happened, it wasn't actually that big a deal. Even after Gretzky scores the winner a few seconds later, the missed call was considered one part of the story. Compared to what happens when a call gets missed today, the immediate reaction was pretty mild.

I'm not sure why that is. Part of me thinks it's because before Twitter, we were actually able to process things without immediately racing towards the hottest possible take. Or maybe it's because this was a West Coast game, and it was after midnight in Toronto and we were all too tired to get worked up. Or maybe everyone just kind of assumed the Leafs were winning Game 7 at home. Whatever it was, the missed call didn't really ascend to legendary status until after the Kings won the series.

Epilogue: The Kings lost to the Canadiens, ironically with help from another controversial Fraser moment. The Leafs have yet to get this close to the Stanley Cup Final again. Fraser admits that he missed the call, but has had to deal with criticism, conspiracy theories, and random idiots ever since. And Maple Leafs fans got over it, and certainly didn't drone on and on about it for decades.

Also, I still get angry every time I see a Target logo, but that's probably just me.
