RL Story
Annabelle and Philip were visiting us. P. ’s new girlfriend accompanied them. That Bianca bitch, who I couldn’t stand, because of her stupid twin sister. Ana and I had a fight with Bianca & her sis. But that was over a year ago. By now I already knew for a while, that Philip and Bianca were together, which is why I didn’t want to argue with her. She seemed to be important to Philip.
Annabelle also got along well with Bianca, so I wanted to give her a chance. Also, I never really had any trouble with Bianca, just with her sister Patricia. Nevertheless, the tension between us still continued. We didn’t know each other well yet.
N. & P. played with the little ones, while Bianca asked me to show her a bit around. I didn’t know what to show her? I don’t live in a villa, just in a 3-room apartment. I think she wanted to talk to me alone, so I showed her the rest of our home.
Me: That’s it, there is nothing more here I could show you.
Bianca: You really have a lovely place... Yk? P. and I go to a club tomorrow where I work. I was wondering if you and Nico would like to come?
Me: Um... you work in a club?
Bianca: Yea, my sister and I dance there sometimes. We just have fun with the guests and get money for it.🤷🏻♀️But she won’t be there tomorrow, so don’t worry.
Me: I had a similar job once. But I wasn’t really ...successful 🤭 Anyway! Idk if Nico wants to? Ofc I would, but I have to ask him first.
Bianca: Do you always have to ask Nico first?... Sorry, I’m just curious or rather... clueless. Philip always wants to decide everything. What we do, where we go, what I do and what I should not- or may not do. Somehow it pisses me off! And I know about you two, he told me. 😳
Me: Yea, but that was 4 years ago and no longer important.
Bianca: He told me that he and Nico were both with you. 😬
Me: It's okay. But-.. he didn’t tell you anything else?
Bianca: He said it just didn’t work out in the end and that you all regret what happened. I didn’t mean to embarrass you, I’m just trying to understand P. His behavior confuses me. Idk what he wants from me? Sometimes he doesn’t want to see me for days and doesn’t call me. At first I thought he didn’t have time because of Annabelle, but now I think he just wants to be alone. Bcs I don’t always agree with him or do what he suggests.
Me: So, there's him. Be honest with him and tell him that his behavior upsets you. I know he is stubborn and always wants to be right. But if you show him that he really means a lot to you, he will listen.
Bianca: Well, it's lucky I'm a patient girl. Agh, anyway. Thanks for hearing me out. You’re a nice girl. I’m sorry about my sister. I hate arguments, so I wanted to settle this with you.
Me: It’s all right. I’m glad we talked and I think we’ll get along well. Now let’s go over and try to convince N. about tomorrow.
Bianca: Deal!
Whether it was wise of me to... trust B.? We will see! In any case she seemed nice and she had a huge crush on Philip. Otherwise she wouldn’t be so patient with him. Bianca's a really pretty girl. Next to her I felt totally.... ugh, Idk? Ugly, clumsy... my complexes have killed my self-confidence. But that’s always been so and not her fault. Still, somehow she made me uneasy, but I couldn’t tell what it was? I really liked her & she me, what you will see, but I had the feeling that something's............. just wrong. 🧐

DETAILS?!? PLS//
so I’ve known this girl for like two years, we met at uni, and she’s rlly nice. we’re really close and do a lot of stuff together (yes, I feel bad about doing this behind her back 😭). we’re in a lot of the same classes, so when we have an assignment or have to study, we meet up, and do it together. a few days ago, she invited me over to her place to study. who opens the door when I get there? the most delicious man I’ve ever seen in my lifeeee. man is 6’7, puerto rican, biceps the size of my head and has sleeve tattoos 😖😖 he’s like 43/44, I think? we eventually settled in their dining room to study, and from there, you can see into the living room if that makes sense. so I was waayy more focused on watching him than my studies. we were constantly flirting every time he ‘checked on us’ or if I saw him in the kitchen or hallway. did I act stupid so he could help me? abso-fucking-lutely. (he’s so smart which instantly makes him ten times hotter) anyway, it got really late and I got an uber there, so he offered to drive me back home. long story short, we started making out when we arrived at my apartment, and I ended up giving him head in the car 😭. I told him that I’m a virgin, so we exchanged contacts so he can, and I quote, “take my time with you”. so yeah, he’s coming over tomorrow to blow my back outt LMAOO. this happened like a few days ago, so he’s been teasing me endlessly on the phone 😪😪. plus, my bsf knows there’s a guy bc she saw the hickeys on my neck, she just doesn’t know that the guy is her dad 😬. I’m sorry, but he TALKED ME THROUGH ITTT. like I can’t not hook up with him 😭
PSA!!! before anybody says anything, he’s divorced and single. I’m 21, and I only JUST met her dad, so he didn’t know me as a child 💀
Okay firstly, a disclaimer; I know you’re an adult and you can make your own decisions. But I just have to say this, bc I’ve been staring at this ask for a while now thinking of how to answer it, PLEASE DO THINK THIS THROUGH! And yeah, maybe I’m being a party pooper but do think it through and if definitively yes, then go for it girlie!!! I know you are a legal, consenting adult. But yeah pretend I’m like your older sister with your best interests at heart bc this is what I’d tell any friend or cousin of mine who is 21!
EDIT: I FORGOT TO SAY THAT MUSCULAR PUERTO RICAN DADDY DILF WITH TATTOOS SOUNDS LIKE THE DILFIEST DREAM DOME TRUE BESTIE FR 😭😭😭🥵🥵
#but also…. WHY ARE ALL YOU ANONS SKIMMING OVER THE MAIN DETAILS?!?#‘long story short we made out in the car’#GIRL????#HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?#how did it get to that??#who made the first move#yall conveniently leaving out the juiciest details 😭😂 or skimming over them#anon#EDIT: reading over this again and I really hope I don’t come across as rude or condescending that’s not my intention at all!!!#girlie live your best life !!! I just feel an obligation to tell you to think things through#and if you have then honestly ignore me live your best dilf life!!!!#the way you described him was rlly hot too girl likeee 🥵

So, I love Gwyn. Adore her. She’s one of the few characters in this series that I love unequivocally. (See also: Lucien, Emerie, Cressida.) And I think her kindness, along with her past trauma, would eventually put her at odds with the NC and its current (abhorrent) power structure.
So that’s what I wrote into this particular excerpt: Gwyn’s moral dilemma, after she hears a particular confession from Elain. And her conflict between her need for safety and the idea that it might be an illusion. (Plus some Gwynriel goodness, bc let’s have everyone be fundamentally different from Feysand from here on out, plz and thank you. 😁)
——————————
“Something happened,” [Azriel] said. It was not a question, but Gwyn shook her head anyway.
“It’s not important.” She sheathed her blade and turned to go. “I have early service tomorrow…”
“Don’t lie,” he murmured, and the shadows chittered again in concern.
“I’m not lying,” she hissed, anger flaring briefly that he’d caught it so easily.
The flash of hazel beneath a raised eyebrow. “You attend the dawnsong services twice a week, same as the other postulants, and you’ve already done your two or you wouldn’t come up here in the small time you have to sleep.” He crossed his arms, siphons gleaming blue as they caught the moonlight; a flash of cobalt among black, ocean moving restlessly beneath stars. “What ails you, Berdara?”
“Have you been spying on me?” she shot back. “How do you know that?”
“I am the spymaster,” he said, supremely cool and self-assured. A stab of annoyance pierced her, smack in the middle of her chest. Oh? He knew everything, did he? Smug bastard.
“Then you must already know, so why should I tell you?” she challenged him.
The silence that fell chafed at her, enough that she looked up at him — the opposite of what she’d meant to do. He was watching her from beneath hooded eyes, his features blurring into shadow, but she could feel his gaze almost as a physical touch. Seeking, seeking, always wanting to know more…
“What happened is the least important part of an event,” he finally said. Halting. Thoughtful. “The reaction of those involved — that’s the missing half of any story. And that tale can only come from the people themselves. From you…yourself.”
Was he…unsure? The confident shadowsinger? A tremor swept through her. She thought that would’ve made her feel triumphant, but it turned to dust in her mouth even as it happened. And the dust became a pulse of nausea, like the world was falling away.
…Can I tell you a secret?
Elain’s words throbbed in her skull. She put her hands shakily up to her head, her vision blurring, and swayed on the spot.
He was beside her in an instant. One arm swept around her shoulder, the other at her elbow. “Sit down, Berdara.”
It didn’t even occur to her to argue. She bent her knees, intending to slowly sink to the sand floor, but they buckled beneath her and she flopped down with a huff of air. He knelt next to her, wings spread as if to shield them both.
She breathed slowly, swallowing hard, until her vision slowly cleared. Fuck. What would he think of her now? A weak-willed child who couldn’t even bear what was inside her own mind?
He knelt, and she sat, the quiet of the night growing ever colder as midnight ticked by. Until their breath clouded around them. Until finally, finally, in a small and tired voice, she said, “I’m well. I should go to bed.”
“Don’t lie,” he said, the faintest note of amusement tilting his inflection up at the end. It was like hearing him smile. “You’ve not been well for months, Berdara. What happened today to make it worse?”
She shook her head.
A pause. “Was it what I said? Just now?” He shifted away slightly. “I only intended to correct your form —“
She laughed, a burst of a bubble inside her chest. Of course not, how could he be so stupid? “No, shadowsinger. It wasn’t you.”
The secret was so close, wanting so badly to spill out. She couldn’t. She’d promised Elain she wouldn’t. But the weight of it…that Elain didn’t feel protected, the beloved sister of the High Lady. Nesta hadn’t either; and she had been right, they’d sent her to the House of Wind and failed to protect any of them when they were kidnapped into the Blood Rite. Emerie hadn’t either, and her lovely wings were still mangled, breaking Gwyn’s heart every time she stretched them awkwardly. The thought that yet another vulnerable person didn’t feel safe here…that the leaders, who had guaranteed her safety and the safety of the other priestesses, might not have their best interests at heart…it felt like rocks, strapped to her chest and shoulders. Like opening a door to a familiar hallway but finding only open air beyond, and falling helplessly. If Elain went searching outside for answers because she felt she couldn’t trust Rhys and Feyre, how would any of them be able to trust them?
The shadows swirled gently around her, nudging her hair, swirling around her forearms. At least Azriel was here. He was an agent of the Night Court; but was he not also her friend?
She clenched her hands in the sand. Everything was falling away…

fully colour coded schedule of the rest of the season: he has noted her work schedule and his schedule, dates, holidays everything.
okay so what if he takes the calendar to nurses apartment. he’s so proud of himself, he figured out a way for it to work, he’s got a plan!
he’s knocking on the door, calendar in hand when connor answers the door. immediately brock’s smile drops bc what is he doing here?
“oh sorry dude i thought you were the delivery person with our dinner”
“our dinner?” it’s a stupid question, obviously he knows whose dinner it is since this isn’t connor’s place but the words come out anyway
queue nurse coming to the door now too “con is everything alright? brock?! what are you doing here?”
brock’s just standing there mind racing a million miles an hour. had he really lost her for good? he’s too late and she’s with his former teammate?
“um nothing don’t worry about it. i’m sorry for interrupting”
as he turns to leave, nurse catches a glimpse of what’s in his hand and tries to stop him but brock keeps moving. the calendar manages to fall out of his hand but brock’s moving too fast to notice so nurse grabs it and sees what it is. she’s stunned as she looks at it, his effort staring her straight in the face but what does she do?
connor has come to see her, their first date having gone well, but her ex who she still has feelings for just tried to come see her to win her back
-linkedin anon
UGH STAB ME IN THE HEART
Brock leaves, she’s holding the calendar and Connor is like ??
So now she’s got this calendar on her dining table staring at her all night and Connor leaves shortly after dinner.
She’s just staring at it all night; the detail and information that went into it all.
it’s about two in the morning when she texts him
it looks like we’re both free tomorrow morning… breakfast?
And Brocks awake obviously because he’s in his head so he’s immediately agreeing.
All while Connor is texting her how much of a good time he had

Le prophète (Karlsruhe, 2015): Reactions, Part I
new (ish) filmed production of le prophète just dropped??? there go any other plans i may have had for this friday night
no loitering allowed
this chorus is essentially just “thank fuck that it’s sunny and not storming” which…i get it bc i live in tornado alley, but also as we come out of a VERY hot summer…storms are nice every once in a while
also: no room for sun in a neon capitalist/oligarchist hellscape
berthe’s got rocker girl vibes!
the waitress: “eh might as well listen to your story not like i have anything better to do on company time”
this does not feel very heterosexual on berthe’s part
edit: scratch that apparently that was fidès, in which case…why have her come in before she’s supposed to be there, director
also though: as a friend said, (paraphrased) “if y’all ship filippo and rodrigo i should be able to ship fidès and berthe bc it’s basically the same thing”
“tomorrow this place is ALL YOURS!!!”
(we love women business (co) owners)
she got all her papers in order, she’s done everything RIGHT, and yet…
THE ANABAPTISTS ARE HERE
also: i’m sorry but i find it so fucking funny that they’re dressed up like mormons. idk why that’s so funny to me but i saw a production of the barber of seville once where one of almaviva’s disguises was as a mormon missionary and i lost my shit laughing. anyway back to the opera
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THEY WENT TO FIDÈS’ PLACE THAT MAKES THIS EVEN FUNNIER
(on the other hand, though: why is everything such a huge problem if fidès and jean live in the same town as berthe??? a big part of it is that berthe is asking to LEAVE oberthal’s domains. i wonder what the modern equivalent is)
“nah not interested” *slams door in their faces* yes you go fidès
weird cuts but THIS CHORUS NEVER FAILS TO BLOW ME AWAY
the power of community organizing! (unfortunately done by people with…less than great intentions)
fun activities with friends: doing acrobatics and breakdancing on police cars
everyone reading each other for filth. it’s fun but they all suck
also, no picture but: LUCIA LUCAS IS IN THIS??? (she plays Mathisen) NICE!!!!!!!!
two brave women supporting one another we love to see it (also: one of the prettiest duets you ever did hear)
oberthal you little bitch
you’re just gonna leave her chained to that?
WAIT OBERTHAL WAS IN THE BACK SEAT WITH BERTHE THE WHOLE TIME OH FUCK
talk about mood whiplash! (also: this chorus BOPS)
uh oh (also especially with the mormon missionary-esque costumes, their being at more or less a sports bar is hilarious)
jean is a tenor with no brain cells and he’s able to admit it, unlike most tenors with no brain cells
his dreams could be prophetic for real, or a fluke…but either way they are GOING to be manipulated
“no sports. only our warped version of Jesus”
“guys. stop kneeling before me. i’m not Jesus or any warped version thereof”
(also i REALLY want them to start singing “hello”)
THE WAY HE LAUGHED AT THEM YES JEAN GET ‘EM
“DUDE, we’re not supposed to have beer”
“oh sorry”
he’s just a guy who really loves his mom and his rocker girl fiancée!
so jean. about that marriage tomorrow.
oh HONEY
HOW DO YOU NOT SEE HER OH MY GOD
i’ll try to put the rest in a reblog bc apparently you can now only put in 30 images per post, which is STUPID and DUMB and i HATE it

checking in on july 31st, 2021
this year has been a little rough quite a few scandals but topped off by a girl i think i love so much that i can barely rmbr what the problems were abt not too long ago. it’s still hard ofc but we’re learning how to cope and deal w that ! you have a job now!!! i’m so proud that you did it, i think i’m gna leave it soon tho but that’s ok bc i’m trying to welcome change, maybe a little too much, things are looking up tho in the places i can control and ik it’s gonna get better from here so i’m excited for you. have u moved out future future amal? how are you and ***? it’s really good right now even tho we’re both struggling individually. havent said we love each other yet tho even tho i think we both do…. i hope all is well or that you’re taking it all well at least, hope to see you soon- (18 and 5 months old) Amal *****

I turned 19 not too long ago, and the birthday was good but so so lonely. i think that’s a problem within me, not based on who’s around me. Anyway, my first day of work at starbucks is tomorrow and i’m really excited, it’s gonna be pushing me, given that most of my shifts are hella early but ik it’s gonna be good for me and i have a feeling i’m gonna be there for a long time. I’m still in a relationship but i’ve been struggling mentally for awhile (nothing new) I hope i can figure something out soon, it’s different being depressed when you’re with someone, cuz it’s not just you who’s effected and u can really see how you’re feeling reflected back in how you treat people and how hard the simplest things turn out to be. I just want to be better and ik there’s layers to all this but i don’t want to be like this with her. I grew a lot last year, i’ll miss being 18 it was a really good time and i changed in ways i never thought i needed. But i also have a really good feeling about this year. I’m trying to be more practical, i’m also realizing how much i care abt my family and the traditional things that i can’t have with my untraditional identity, and that’s a doozy (ew lmao). I’m just trying to keep up, it’s hardest to keep up with myself tho. See you soon xx
May 28, 2023
I’ve been procrastinating this post, i haven’t really known what to say because so much has happened, and there’s so much that i don’t want to think about from the last few months. it’s a bit overwhelming, all the change. i’m an actual adult now, i have an internship, i’m in college, i’ve moved on from my last relationship and i’ve learned who i am outside of it. it’s bittersweet. letting that person go, and who i was with them, but it’s good. i needed all of that and i would never change it. i’m handing things better, but it’s scary of course. i’m in a place i never thought i would be when i started this thread. i have so much drive and passion again, self-respect and love too. i have plans but i’m learning that my mom was right, you can plan and plan but the universe (or god lol) might have something else in store for you, i’m welcoming all of that, albeit begrudgingly. but yea. i liked being a kid, i’m reverting to the things that brought me simple joy, like accessories and silly pens, my family and best friend, crushes, etc. i’m letting myself enjoy all the things i denied for so long. i’m learning no matter how much you have to say, sometimes you’re the only person who needs to hear it, take that as you will. but anyway, being 20… i didn’t think i’d live this long a few years ago, but i’m here now, i know i would be proud had i known where id end up. and deep down that 17/18/19 year old me is coming out to let me know that. in the little things that i do, in the ways i’ve surpassed myself and grown, they know what im doing, and what’s ahead of me, and how much better it’s gotten. i hope it’s only up from here. but i do know that the highs and lows are ok too, you can’t have highs without having lows and whatnot. i have a lot of healing and growing ahead of me, and i welcome that, because it’s got me this far, i have hope, faith, and trust in myself and the future, something that i didn’t allow myself to indulge in for so long, i hope more surprises are in my future, i know that the plans and beliefs d set in stone a few years ago are ever changing, and that’s ok, it’s not a betrayal to my old self. it’s just me looking out for me. and being mature enough to learn and understand my growth includes something different than what i wanted or believed when i was 17

I am not well and I don’t know how to make it better. There are steps I can take. I can finally sign up for insurance tomorrow I shouldn’t have been putting that off. Try to get a therapist. See if that helps at all. It kind of feels like it won’t bc I cannot shift my material conditions for a while. I’m trying to play the long game but idk if I can bear it. It kills me that nobody is willing to take me in bc of the baggage I carry but at the same time I have to learn from that and look it in the eye and get my feet under myself and get situated to buy a fucking house so nobody can throw me out again. And that means bearing it. My only other option is to move a whole state away with my aunt but idk if my sisters will be okay or if I’ll be okay so far away from them and I really don’t want to have to depend on my aunt bc she doesn’t understand that I can’t just walk 2 miles to work and back and that I don’t have the brain I used to have. She thinks I can get a job at Yale I can’t get a job at fucking Yale and I certainly couldn’t maintain it walking to work. And I know her and she’ll hit a frustration point where she wants me to sink or swim and that might work if I was in a slump but I’m not in a slump I’m just not well! Even when I happy as a clam I have the same symptoms. I can’t settle myself bc the fucking dread just sets in. But it seems stupid to take a detour and fuck my chronic fatigue up worse and then get thrown back anyway and at that point my parents would be so offended that I stayed with her and not them that they’d likely refuse to let me stay there and if they did there would be conditions. More of them. There’s gonna be invisible conditions. I cannot fucking do this I just can’t I don’t know how I’m going to fucking survive. I’ve lost all my peace and I can’t get my stupid brain to think in a straight line. Of course it’s hard to feel real when reality is hard to bear of course it’s hard to function. It just feels like more and more pieces of me are slipping away and I can’t make them stop. And I’m so fucking lonely and there’s not a single person in my life irl who can bear me being entirely real about my situation. I am terrified to live with my parents who are desperate to strip me of so much of my selfhood and always have been. I’m terrified I’m going to lose pieces of myself because I’m not strong enough to stop it. I’m terrified that maintaining any kind of piece is going to be impossible and I know for a fact that it’s going to take everything I have just to kind of maintain. I don’t know how I’m going to continue to be. I will figure it out, I have to.

RL Simself Story ( 18+)
CW: Pregnancy, Depression
Another week passed and I was still at my Grandparents. I’ve been here for 3 weeks now. Even my Cuz went back to university. Yesterday I had my exam. At least this thing went well. I passed it with almost maximum points. And yet I couldn’t be happy about it for long. I wasn't feeling well. My depression had reached its peak again, so I couldn't go to work this morning. I lay in bed all day long, staring at my walls. This still felt better than leaving my room. Just thinking about it, overwhelmed me. But I called my therapist. I told her I was pregnant. I haven’t seen her in weeks. Those group sessions I once mentioned, were okay, but I missed much. Anyway, she wanted to see me. She asked me to come to her practice tomorrow, to talk about my panic attacks and some other stuff. She also advised me to continue my medication.
My Grams was worried about me. She noticed that Nico didn’t come to me anymore. So I told her he broke up with me and that I had to divorce Daniel. And I’m going to file the divorce petition, but getting a divorce is not as easy as I thought. Tbh, it seemed impossible!?? That... person/DA, who handled my divorce, simply did not accept the reasons I gave her for my divorce. She said it would take at least a year, bcs Daniel wasn’t there, and who knows? Maybe we’ll make up, she meant. 😡...Agh, it's going to be complicated. And Daniel will be back soon anyway. Nevertheless, we will not divorce, but we’re not gonna be together either. 😫
That evening, my Parents and my Sister came by at my Grandparents. My Mom wanted to know what’s wrong with me? Why don’t I come back home? My Grams was a little tense when my Mom started to get upset about me. But my Mom was just worried. I was pregnant! What happens now? Do I keep the Baby or not? This was still not quite clear. I had an abortion appointment in 3 days. My Grams got so mad at my mom for talking about that! But my Mom never told me to abort my Baby neither my Dad! They just didn’t know what I really wanted!!??... Am I getting a divorce? Am I keeping Nico's Baby? Why isn't he here? Are we even together? And why am I alone in my room crying? My Parents wanted answers!
And Ana was still confused about my pregnancy. She still thought Dennis might have knocked me up. 🤦♀️🤦♀️Ana thought I was so sad because of that. So she finally decided to talk to me about this thing! She came over to my room. But somehow we both did not succeed in talking to each other. I admit, it was hard for me to look at Ana, without having to think about Adam. I mean..... I don’t hate Adam. Still, what he did to me was disgusting. And Ana also had that gross pic of Adam and me in her mind. She didn't feel comfortable around me. Ana & I weren’t mad at each other, we just needed some time, I think. 😞
Ana: Hey, A..... You ok?
Me: Hi 🫤
Ana: I’ve known you were pregnant for 4 weeks, I noticed when you took a pregnancy test. I didn’t want to ask you about it. You know?..... I’m happy for you, if you want a Baby, but... I’m not happy for Daniel. 😞
Me: Yea, that’s why I can’t be happy about it, even though I want a Baby.
Ana: You don’t have to...... do this, if you’re not sure. 🙁
Me: I love N. 😞
Ana: Honestly, A.! Can it be that you do not know exactly who you are pregnant from?? Dennis, you know? You were totally high! Maybe you slept with him and don’t remember?
Me: It's Nico's Baby. Trust me, I know when and how it happend! And I didn't sleep with Dennis!! We were going to, but... well, you know what happend. Adam interfered. And before you ask.... NO, I didn’t sleep with Adam!!
Ana: I know! He was just a few mins alone with you.
Me: You staying here tonight?
Ana: Why don’t you come home?
Me: Um.... I’m tired.
Ana: Ok...... I go back over.... Grama fears Mom and Dad will soon get divorced too, like our stupid uncle....
Me: I don't care. They are 41! They’ll know what they’re doing.
Ana: Whatever you say.
Like I said, I wasn’t really in the mood to talk to Ana. Honestly, I also felt a bit humbled because she thought I didn’t know who I was pregnant with.

tonight after 7 and a half hours of dealing with parties and reservations and the 120 other tables i sat, dealing with hundreds of customers who treat me like utter garbage, and not eating the entire day, i went to taco bell and then walgreens because i wanted to get some things for easter. i get a call in the store from my aunt because my entire family has my location at all times. asks me to get 5 sets of the most expensive paper plates i see (they were over $6 for 20 plates. we don’t need 100, there’s 25 of us). if i buy the plates, i can’t buy the things i wanted so yes i decide to be selfish and tell her that exact thing because i can’t afford shit right now. she says real snarky “thanks a lot” and we hang up. so what do you know, i feel guilty and end up texting her to say i was getting them so i put all my shit back. i go to the gas station before going home and tell her i got the plates anyways and she says “well i already went to go get them” and i said “even though i texted you like 3 minutes later?” and she says “no you didn’t” and i said “check your phone, just because you didn’t open it doesn’t mean you didn’t get it” so she starts yapping as i’m walking away and i say “it doesn’t matter, i have to go somewhere tomorrow anyways” (even though i don’t) and i go into my room. from my room, i hear her down in the kitchen bitching about how the plates weren’t what she wanted even though i had asked her 5 times which ones she wanted bc i just wanted to get out and go home to eat. next thing i know she starts with the “i hope i don’t wake up tomorrow” and “i wish i was dead” and other attention seeking shit knowing how manipulative and triggering it is for me to hear. so i jog downstairs, grab my keys, and run for the door as she’s still yelling about these stupid fucking paper plates because how i got dragged into this is just fucking ridiculous and why i’m being yelled at for trying to be helpful is WILD. especially because i used my money from my $7/hour wages. i get back to the stair and return the plates and also get a nail polish that i wanted previously. i get home, go upstairs and paint my toes. and then of course i hear her go into my grandmas room and say loud enough for me to hear that i’m a liar because she didn’t believe that i was that broke. i go inside the room and ask her what she’s talking about before showing her my account that has $7 in it. and she pushes my phone out of my hand

Harry Styles x fem!reader
Faceclaim: Dakota Johnson
author’s note: And here comes pt. 3 but you can read it without reading pt. 1 & 2 (but you should because they’re there and begging for your attention). Idk how we got from “Not gonna upload a social media blurb bc my brain is stupid” to “Oh, here is pt. 3 of the social media blurb lol have fun”. I just don’t know but I'm vibing with it. And I'm sorry that those blurbs are always so long but I always get carried away while making them. lolthisnotme is your super secret instagram account! (yes, I was too impatient to wait any longer before putting this one out in the open)
pt. 4 is here
;
yourinstagram Thursday Throwback (it’s Thursday, right? Right?!) to March 15 of this year, when the hard and dedicated work of the most important human in my life was finally appreciated by the industry and rewarded for everyone to see. Still, I am so incredibly proud of the achievement of your dream, and I can’t express how grateful I am to walk next to you through the funny thing that we call life. I love you with every atom of my being, H. To more dust collectors for our bookshelves and dining table ❤️

yourinstagram Ever since taking that pregnancy test - well, more like before that fateful evening - Dorothy is even more clingy than usual. Animals must have a sixth sense; that’s the only explanation I can come up with. But I don’t mind because I am, too, more clingy than I already was before all of these hormones went havoc inside my system. And with Harry back at home, we manage just fine. Lots of cuddly nights in with our favorite movies and my favorite purring friend right on top of me because I seemingly need protection from a cat who hates being outside in the garden.
What I wanted to say (before starting to ramble): It is okay to be different than before. It is okay to be more or less intense, more or less touchy, more or less happy or sad. That’s all part of the process, and don’t ever let anyone tell you that your feelings and cravings are wrong or invalid (especially from men). They can just go to hell. Thanks for coming to my couch talk.

it’s literally 3:13am in England rn. i have to be up at nine, and i’m just listening to harry styles, and his unreleased songs. anyways, i’m listening to his song ‘Baby Honey’ (it’s not released) and the second verse just came on and immediately, my mind went to eddie.
“Oh, I know he's got the money, baby honey, does he make your night?”
EDDIE TALKING TO Y/N ABOUT SOME RICH GUY WHO FANCIES HER
“Is it true he doesn't touch you in the place, the way I know you like?”
SELF-FUCKING-EXPLANATORY!!!
“And I swear that I'm not thinkin' 'bout you all the time,
“Just today, yesterday, every day and tomorrow night”
ASHFGDOPALRUSIKWDD I CANT BREATHE HE WOULD SAY THIS OMG
anyways, this has been the person who requested the tank top, the cologne, dilf eddie, etc, etc.
i bid you goodnight.
wet sweet dreams 😉
NO BC I WAS LISTENING TO THIS SONG YESTERDAY AND THOUGHT OF DOING SOMETHING WITH IT ALKSDJ;FA
i want you to imagine something for me: you're dating steve. he's rich, right? or at least his parents have a lot of money, and he's well-off. i think it would make such good sense here to use him, because for some reason, i think the song fits him as well!
maybe you & eddie had a little bit of a thing before you started dating steve. i'm thinking maybe a friends with benefits situation, where you were fucking with no strings. only both of you got attached and fell in love, but neither of you told the other. to avoid what you perceived as inevitable hurt, you ended the arrangement and began seeing steve instead. eddie was absolutely crushed, and began to plot a way to get you back. he would do it, even if it killed him--or ended in steve kicking his ass, at least. whatever it was, he would find a way to tell you how he felt and get you back into his bed, and his heart.
one night, he catches you leaving your place as you were heading to steve's. you don't want to see eddie, or talk to him; it still hurts too much. you try to avoid him, but he isn't having any of that bullshit. he takes you by the shoulders and gently throws you up against the outside wall of your house, his eyes pleading as they look into yours. his face is inches from your own, and you can't help but stare at his lips. there's so much longing, such an intense urge to kiss him until you were both fucking stupid. but you couldn't do that to steve; he may not have been eddie, but he was a wonderful man. you could never betray him like that.
“i’m sorry for just dropping by like this,” eddie murmured, offering an apologetic grin. “but i just had to see you.”
“why?” you question, your voice barely a whisper as you try to compose yourself. “it’s been seven months, eddie. i thought i told you to stay away. you were doing a damn good job of it, too.”
“yeah, well, no offense,” he says, “but i’m done staying away from you.”
“obviously,” you say with a roll of your eyes. “so, what do you want?”
"i know steve is charming, and he's got a ton of money that i don’t have," eddie whispers, getting right to the point. "but what does he do for you? hm?"
"a lot of things," you reply, still fixated on those lips before you flick your gaze to his eyes. "you wouldn't get it. if you’re here to try and get back into my pants, then just leave right now.”
"bullshit," eddie says, disregarding your last statement and laughing humorlessly as he puts one of his hands above your head. "i know he doesn't touch you the way that i do. he probably doesn't even know the place that makes you tick, does he? he couldn't; he’s too goody-goody and vanilla for you."
"and how do you know that?" you ask, feeling a little angry. "are you there, watching us have sex?"
"no," he says, feeling sick by the very mental image of it. "but i just know that he can't. no one ever fucked you the way that i could; you even told me that more than once."
"well, that was before i got with steve," you say, trying to convince yourself more than him. eddie was saying nothing but the truth, goddammit, and you hated that. "now, if you'll excuse me--"
"goddammit, y/n, will you just listen to me for once?" he pleads, his free hand holding your jaw as he searches your eyes. "i don't give a fuck anymore. be with him, don't be with him, whatever. but there's something that you need to know, before you go out with him tonight. something that i've wanted you to know for so long."
"what?" you ask, a little impatiently. "make it quick."
"look," he says, taking a deep breath. "i've tried so fucking hard not to think about you. i've tried to erase you from my head, but you just continue to stay there. today, yesterday, every day, tomorrow night...all the goddamn time. i don't care if you feel the same way or not, because at this point, it's good to just come out and say it. i'm in love with you, y/n; i have been for so long, and i was too much of a coward to say anything before. then you went & got with harrington, and i...i knew that i fucking blew it. you were gone for good, and i never stood a chance anymore."
you're stunned into silence. you can't move, you can't speak, you can't do anything except look at him. you search his eyes for sincerity, to see if he means this or if he's only saying it to get you away from steve. you see that he's being genuine, that he meant every fucking word, and all you can do is pull him down for a passionate, hard kiss. fuck it; you knew this was wrong, but goddamn, did it feel so right. he was the man you truly loved, he was the man you wanted to be with, and who were you to deny both of you what you wanted?
he took you inside and fucked you that night, and you admitted that you felt the same for him. breaking up with steve the following day was hard, but continuing the charade of your relationship would have been even harder. you had everything you ever wanted now, and that was all you ever needed.

Jealousy: Levi x Reader
Cw: None, well maybe, reader and Levi making out a lil bit?? Reader and Petra also make out kinda?? MDNI tho bc I don’t want your baby asses on my tumblr, I will block u, go play Fortnite.
Word Count: 1k
Being placed in the Special Operations Squad wasn't all intense training and serious situations.
Sometimes it was lighthearted and happy especially when you and Petra had an opportunity to mess with Oluo.
It was super obvious that the man was head over heels in love with Petra. He showed it in the weirdest ways, such as: trying so hard to be a knock-off copy of Captain Levi the man Petra was head over heels for.
-
"C'mon, Petra, Oluo is absolutely smitten." You say a goofy grin painted on your face.
"Oh no, not at all, he's just a stupid guy, who thinks he's all that" She protested.
"I don't know, Pet." You pause "He just acts a certain typa' stupid around you."
"I mean you're right...." Petra said resting her head in her hand.
"I HAVE AN IDEA!" You stand from the table and exclaim a little too loud for it being three in the morning.
"Oh? What is it?" Petra askes hastily.
"Okay so, we'll put this theory to the test!" You say proudly "I'll act like your girlfriend all day tomorrow and see how he reacts."
Petra immediately blushes, like fire spreading across her cheeks.
"You actually cannot be serious right now." The ginger replies sheepishly.
"Oh but I am!" You reply a devilish smirk playing on your lips, "Everyone thinks we shack up anyway!"
"They do?!" Panic coating Petra's reply.
"Nah, but I mean we are extremely close...and there was that one time where we made out after drinking a whole bottle of wine..." You say scratching the back of your head.
"Okay I'm in." Petra agreed.
--
The next day rolled around and as perusal You and Petra were glued to the hip as you two helped continue the cleaning efforts on the temporary HQ.
But this time you two were a little more touchy with each other.
This did not go unnoticed not by just Oluo but the raven haired man standing not too far away on the other side of the yard.
"What the hell is goin' on with you two?" Oluo came over hands on his hips nose in the air "You two are all over one another!"
"Oh? Are we?" Petra questioned turning to you.
"I guess we are." you say back "Though that does make sense considering, she's my girlfirend."
Oluo nearly bit his tongue off.
The shorter man not too far away almost faltered and dropped his rake.
"What!? When did this happen!?" He half yelled.
"It's always been." Petra bluntly stated.
The ravennette with his back turned to you guys, over hearing everything knitted his brows together in confusion. "sense when?" He thought to himself.
"You two gotta' be pullin' my leg!" Oluo exclaimed shocked laced in his voice.
"Nope." you giggled "She's all mine." you confirmed leaning over to the ginger and sliding an arm around her waist.
Levi stopped all motion and slightly turned in order to see the actions taking place, he felt a slight pang of jealously in his chest as he turned just in time to see Petra and you locking lips.
"What in the holly hell?" He questioned face contorting in confusion.
Although seeing the two women locking lips like that sent heat straight to his crotch, it also made his blood boil with rage. That however, was an issue for a different time, currently the woman he had sought after was holding and kissing someone that wasn't him.
He knew he was thinking crazy, you weren't in anyway his...but deep down this feeling he couldn't shake was getting stronger.
Oluo had about fainted at this point and you and Petra were giggling uncontrollably.
--
Later that night, you seemed to be the only one left awake, finishing toweling off the last of the dinner dishes and carefully setting it in the cupboard before quietly closing the door.
You turned on your heels and were confronted by your captain standing less than 3 feet from you.
He dawned his night clothes, empty tea cup in hand.
"Evening, Captain." you greet with a smile.
The captain said nothing and just kind of stared at you, you could practically see the gears turning behind his eyes.
"Tch, I had no clue you were into women." He stated bluntly.
Your face contorted visibly, you were very confused and shocked at the sudden statement then it dawned on you, this was about earlier.
"OOOOH!" You exclaimed waving your hands in front of your chest in defense, "It's really not what you think, Levi."
"Then what is it like?" He asked.
"Me and Petra aren't a thing, we were trying to get at Oluo, who is obviously whipped." You explained scratching the back of your head.
The knot made of pure jealously and anger had faded in Levi's chest, he exhaled.
"So, you're telling me.." he cocked an eyebrow "That you and Petra made out in front of everyone this morning to screw with Oluo?"
"And it worked too!" You exclaim proudly, "Man's been screwed up sense, and he had a nosebleed for like an hour after."
"Tch." Was all he muttered.
"Oh why? Was little Levi jealous that I got to lock lips with Petra before he did?" You teased.
Levi tightened his grip on his teacup if he had squeezed any harder the porcelain vessel would have shattered.
"You're an idiot." He muttered.
"Oh c'mon, it was a joke!" You rolled your eyes and that gesture only proceeded to piss him off more. In one swift movement Levi placed the dainty teacup on the counter and had you pinned against it.
He shoved his lips aggressively into yours. You gripped his shirt tightly as the kiss deepened and he slid his tongue across her bottom lip.
Not asking but demanding entrance.
You complied and allowed his tongue which tasted of black tea and peppermint explore your mouth.
You both fought for dominance, but in the end you relinquished all control to your captain. Your grip on his shirt only tightened as he slid a hand down cupping your back side pressing both of your bodies closer together.
A grunt emitted from Levi's throat as you bit gently on his lower lip. The need for air soon became apparent and you both pulled away from one another gasping and panting.
Your cheeks rosy red, gaping at him, your knuckles turning white as you continued to hold a death grip on Levi's white night shirt.
"I wasn't jealous of you, brat." He spat " I was jealous of Petra."

if you're taking ideas for harmless drabbles, i'd love to see one of bucky on one of those dates he mentioned and reader's shenanigans. if you aren't, feel free to ignore this!
a/n: are we really going to let a word limit define what a drabble is? is the vibe and spirit not enough? i say this bc this is 5.7k words long im so sorry. also hey thank you to everyone who piped in with their knowledge of violent geese and how apartment security works in new york!! also thanks to my bby @spiderrpcrker for reading this and telling me to publish this bc i wasnt going to fkjghfkj
warning: swearing, bad luck, dates, frustrated bucky, anxiety, mentions of gore but like only a sentence
here’s my ko-fi if you’d like to support my writing <333
Catch up with the rest of the series here: Harmless Masterlist
Bucky returns only two weeks later. His mission lasted longer than expected and all he wants is to lie down and sleep for forty eight hours straight.
“FRIDAY?” he mumbles, kicking off his shoes. His jacket had already been discarded by his bedroom door when he walked in.
“Yes, Sergeant Barnes?”
“How are ya?” He doesn’t miss a beat in asking, even though he’s exhausted.
“As good as ever. Did you have a successful mission?”
“If by successful you mean one sprained limb instead of two, then yeah.” He wasn’t really cribbing. His ankle was already starting to heal anyway and it was worth the roundhouse kick to a Nazi's face. “Do I have anything scheduled for this weekend?”
“You have a meeting on your calendar scheduled for this Saturday.”
“Could you send a text to Y/N and ask if we can push it to the next day?” His muscles feel sore and God, he could definitely use a hot shower but all of that becomes secondary the minute he feels the sheets under him.
“Would you like me to reschedule the other one as well?”
“What’s that?” He opens one eye in confusion. “There’s another one?”
“It’s on Sunday. You’ve labelled it ‘date’.”
Ah, fuck.
“Would you like me to change it?” FRIDAY never sounds like she’s judging him, which is nice. It also reminds him about how she, as an AI, can’t judge him, which is a rude wake-up call to how he doesn’t have friends.
“No,” his voice is muffled against the pillow, “no, let it be. Where is it again?”
“You’ve only specified diner, Sergeant Barnes.”
Public space, daytime, plenty of escape routes. Good on his less delirious self for selecting a diner.
“Thanks, FRIDAY.” Now that he’s a little more relaxed, he can feel himself slip in and out of consciousness.
“One last thing," her automated voice commands his attention again. "Y/N replied. She says sure and to take care.”
“Yay.” Not even a second later he’s out like a light.
____
“Did you bring me any souvenirs?” Is the first thing he hears as he marches into your lair.
“What could I possibly get you?”
“A postcard, a t-shirt.” You don’t look up from your tinkering.
“Decapitated finger, used bullets,” he continues, “cement blocks.”
“Ew.” You snap the lid shut on the thing you’re working on, spinning around on your chair. "That's not nearly romantic enough."
“That’s all you’re going to get from a Russian underground bunker.” He does a mini jog up the stairs of the platform to where you are.
“Does the finger have a ring at lea- oh hello?” You raise an eyebrow at the sight of him. “You look different.”
He peers down. The outfit was still all black. As always.
“Not your clothes, dummy,” you interrupt, making him look back at you. “Your face. What’d you do?”
He unconsciously raises a hand to his cheek.
“Did you wash your face? Is that it?” you squint at him. “Has it been a few months since the last time?”
“Wow, you’re so funny,” he drawls sarcastically. “Top tier comedian right there.”
“No wait, it’s the beard.” You snap your fingers in realisation, completely ignoring his comment. “You trimmed it.”
“So what if I did?” He leans on your table.
“You going somewhere?” you ask, elastic snapping against your hands as you remove your gloves.
“It’s none of your busi-”
“Hold on a second.” A sly smile begins to make its way onto your face. “Are you going on a date, Bucky Barnes?”
His comeback dies down in his throat. That didn’t take you very long for you to figure out.
“I’m right, aren’t I?” You look smug, to say the least.
“Shut up.” A ray of light glistening distracts him. He traces it to the thing you were working on earlier.
“Where are you guys going?” You cross your arm across your chest, a small smirk on your face.
“Wouldn’t you like to know?” It’s a silver box, engraved intricately with swirls that, when he observes carefully, looks like a skull. Wow, terrifying.
“I’m literally asking you.”
“What are those?” He shifts the conversation towards a more productive angle instead.
“Evil in a box and some other stuff.” You shrug offhandedly. “Is it a lunch date or just coffee?”
“Like Pandora’s Box?”
“A discount version, sure,” you confirmed impatiently. “Stop changing the topic, listen to me.”
He tilts his head, waiting for you to continue.
“Do you need a chaperone?” The sincerity in your voice for such a bullshit question has him scoffing.
“Good God- no, I do not need a chaperone. I’m 106 years old, I can go out unsupervised.” He reaches over and plucks the box off your table.
“Sir, you’re a geriatric."
“What are those?” He points to a few ray odd ray guns.
“Minor stuff you don’t have to worry about right now.”
He shakes the box in his hand. “What’s gonna happen if I open this?”
“Very bad things,” you whispered ominously before your volume returns to normal. “How’d you meet this person? Online?”
“She’s Natasha’s friend.” He turns the box over, seeing a small latch at the side. “What bad things?”
“Bad luck and misery. Don’t play with it, it’s dangerous.” You pull the box away from him. “Aw, is it a blind date?”
“Why do you care so much?” he shoots back, tugging the box back towards him.
“Just lookin’ out for you, Bucko,” you huff, adjusting your grip on your device. “Need to keep my favourite senior citizen safe.”
“I have a vibranium arm.” Whose force he could use to grab the box once and for all, but wasn’t. “I think I’ll be fine.”
“What if she has one too, huh? Then what?”
“She doesn’t.” As far as he knows, he’s the only one alive with a metal appendage made out of the strongest metal in the world. That could very well change by tomorrow but he's keeping the title for now.
“But what if she does? I swear to- stop trying to take the box!” You pull a little more forcefully, but he doesn’t relent.
“I want this to get over before this evening.”
“What time’s your date?”
“Why do you care?” He’s sure anyone who saw the dumb tug-of-war you both were playing would just automatically assume he was an absolute manchild, not an Avenger.
“Because.” You don’t explain further. “Tell me what time your date is, you weirdo.”
“Five o’clock, now let go.”
“Fine,” you say, suddenly loosening your grip. Clearly, it doesn't make much of a difference since he isn't struggling to keep his balance from the sudden loss of force.
“Fine.” He clears his throat, straightening up.
You don’t say anything. He doesn’t either.
A putrid smell creeps into his nose, one all too similar to spoiled milk and decaying seaweed. He has to physically stop himself from gagging.
“Have a good day.” You smile and lean far back. Too far. It looks like you're almost going to fall out of the chair.
Through the tears that are threatening to line his eyelids, he looks down at the box whose latch you somehow managed to lift, leaving the box open.
“What the fuck is this?” He coughs, swatting at the air in front of him to clear it.
“I told you; bad luck in a box.”
“You can’t scientifically create bad luck, that’s bullshit.” He tosses the box back onto your table. You watch it slide past you, not making any effort to stop it. “What is it really?”
“I’m not lying.” You pull open a drawer, brandishing a small table fan that you set down beside you. “If you open it, you’re going to have terrible luck for the day.”
He glowers at you when you turn the fan on, forcing the fumes back towards him.
“Besides, that’s all I was doing today.” You kick your feet up. “So you can leave now.”
He doesn’t care if you’re lying about not having anything else to do today. You could burn down the world if you wanted to but he needs to take a stupid shower. Again.
“You’re the fuckin’ worst.” He tries airing out his shirt, hoping that the smell would dissipate as soon as possible.
“Have fun on your date, sarge!” you encourage him as he stalks out of the lair. “Remember to wrap it befo-”
He turns it into a sprint before you can finish.
____
Six hours later and he’s absolutely convinced he fucked up.
He isn’t used to having his weekends free.
He realises that this is the first time in months that he’s actually stepped out of the Tower for something that wasn’t directly mission-related. He should probably get some air. Touch some grass. See the sun.
His shirt thankfully manages to rid itself of the odour from the dumb box so he didn’t have to go take a shower. With nothing much planned and a few hours to spare, he heads to the coffee shop instead.
It’s a small place, bustling and alive with a crowd of people. They have a little bookshelf that usually is full of books donated by patrons, free for anyone to read.
The barista smiles at him. The coffee costs more than his high school education. He awkwardly smiles back.
He’s not a regular, but they’ve seen him enough times to know that he usually asks for black coffee in a to-go cup, later adding a sugar or two according to his own taste. They're nice to him, occasionally throwing in a cookie or something on the house. He can't tell if it's because of the Avenger status or the sizeable tip he leaves.
He picks up a random book from the shelf, fully intending not to read it but to just sit there and think. The book acted as a shield for his resting bitch face, resting murder face and his resting rage face. More often than not, a good combination of the three.
He sets the coffee down at the corner table he manages to nab in a quick second, along with the two sachets of sugar.
“Is this seat taken?” Someone asks from beside him. He earnestly shakes his head in a ‘no’, gesturing for them to take it.
They give him a quick thanks and drag the chair away from his table.
He does a quick overlook of the book he picked up.
The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot.
Well, now he’s too anxious to put it back. YA fiction it is.
He reaches for the sugar while glossing over the summary. He reaches a little further when it doesn’t come to his hand immediately, blindly running his fingers across the table.
Bucky peeks over the book, eyebrows knitting together when he notices that they’re missing.
He was sure he picked it up.
He looks underneath the table. It wasn’t there, neither under his seat. Strange, but okay. He picks up the book and the cup, walking back to the station to grab two sugars.
This time he makes sure to tuck it into his pocket, double-checking before going back to his table.
Which was now occupied. He wanted to groan.
His mind automatically reverts back to the box from that morning.
“Come on,” he scoffs quietly to himself. It was a coincidence. “Get yourself together.”
“A seat at the counter just cleared up,” the barista from earlier offers when she sees him standing in the middle of the store.
See? Good luck.
He shoots her a grateful look, venturing over to the barstool to take his place. It’s not the most comfortable, but then again, he wasn’t planning to stay there for very long.
He empties the sugar into the coffee, stirring slowly before opening a random page in the book.
He takes a long sip, ignoring how hot the drink was.
He chokes immediately. Because either he was losing his mind or his order had somehow got switched from ‘no sugar’ to ‘diabetes in a cup’.
He takes another small sip and his face immediately twists in disgust. Definitely too sweet. The sweetener he added only made it worse.
He catches the eye of the barista. She looks on in concern.
“Is everything okay?”
Fuck.
He’s not one to make a scene. He just wants to live as imperceptibly as he could.
“Yep.” The sweetness sticks to the back of his throat. “All good.”
He just closes his eyes and downs the rest of it without thinking twice, trying to hide the grimace in his face. He gives her a weak thumbs up. She doesn't look convinced.
He leaves the shop soon after, hands shoved in his pocket. Maybe he could go sit by the lake at Central Park, watch the clouds. It reminded Bucky of the lake in front of his hut in Wakanda and the hours he'd sit in front of it, feet dipped into the water as his goats fed. He misses it.
He makes a sharp turn at a corner, still thinking about his options when his ankle abruptly twists under him.
He stumbles rather ungracefully, almost hitting the ground, but manages to save himself through the newly built up immunity he has towards falling thanks to all his encounters with you.
His gaze lands on his hardcore combat boots. Their laces had come undone.
Now he just knew that was horseshit. He always double knots them; they had never loosened in the past before.
The box.
He shoves the thought out of his head, crouching down to tie them again. He tugs on them to make sure they’re secure before standing up again.
Central Park is a few blocks away but he’s glad he didn’t bring his bike. The weather was rather nice and the wind in his hair felt good.
He wanders around the park for a while, looking for the lake. He pauses at a board with a map of the park on it, assessing how far it was.
Once he's ascertained which path to go towards, he turns on his heel to go.
He fucking trips again.
“Are you serious?” he says furiously under his breath. “Cut it out.”
He’s half-convinced that he should tie it around his ankle like a sexy lace-up set of heels. He ties a triple knot this time, glares at it until he’s sure it’s fine and checks to see if anyone saw him humiliate himself.
Only a person on a nearby bench who looked like they were passed out drunk, given that their hoodie and sunglasses clad self was slumped over.
No witnesses. No 'You won't BELIEVE what the Winter Soldier did! Critics say it's his biggest blunder yet!' articles the next day on social media.
He manages to make it to the lake in one piece and no more falls, partly because he keeps his eyes fixed on his shoes to ensure no fuckery occurs.
There are a few people rowing and plenty of others lining the bank at scattered locations. There’s a mom and her kid at the place he ends up. She sends him a small smile in greeting and he returns the favour.
There’s a secluded bench that he takes a place on, letting out a small sigh. If he ignores the traffic and the skateboarders and the people in general, it’s actually kind of peaceful.
There are geese and their little goslings swimming around the water close to the shore. Maybe he should have brought some birdseed. Or kale.
The kid beside him is busy fashioning something out of leaves, only occasionally erupting into giggles when it doesn't pan out. His mom watches him fondly, pointing at twigs he could use. Everything seems kind of picture-perfect and his body automatically relaxes, easing further into the seat and closing his eyes for a second.
Until there's a large splash and loud distressed honking. He whips his head around to find the same kid staring straight ahead at the goose with a wide grin. His mother curses quietly, picking herself up off the ground and grabbing his hand, half chastising him for throwing something at an animal and half urging him to walk faster.
The goose turns to Bucky. With no one else to blame for the sudden attack, it logically launches itself at him. His smile drops.
He gets up in a rush. The dumb bird nearly comes for his head, but he deflects with his metal arm.
“I didn’t even do anything.” He swats at it swiftly, trying not to cause any real damage. The goose, understandably, does not speak English.
He flinches when one of them bites at his knee. He can punt it to the sun but he doesn’t want to.
“Stop that.” He sticks his hand out to shove the stupid thing away, retreating back to the road. “Jesus, why are you so aggressive?”
Among the barrage of feathers showering on him, he prays his damn shoelace doesn’t unravel as he shields his head with one arm, the other fending himself while he moves hurriedly away.
The goose honks angrily at him. He scowls at it, not exactly pleased with the reminder that these fucking overgrown ducks were constantly bloodthirsty.
It doesn’t leave him alone till he’s significantly away from where he was sitting. He wants to call it profanity but that’d probably piss it off more.
The box and its effects were definitely starting to feel real.
Fuck it, no more day out for him. The best plan he can think of is to just go to the diner he’s supposed to meet his date at.
The waiter greets him with a courteous nod, which Bucky can only imagine was the best he could muster when a dishevelled 200-pound man walks in covered in goose feathers and irritation.
He won't admit that he’s too scared to eat lunch at this point because he can’t rule out food poisoning. He spends the next two hours on his phone playing Fruit Ninja and plucking feathers that accented his all-black outfit.
Several glasses of water later and a second before he’s about to beat his high score, someone taps on his shoulder, breaking him out of his concentration.
Motherfu-
He clenches his eye shut, inhaling deeply before turning around.
“James?”
“Hey, yeah, that’s me.” Bucky almost falls over the table with how fast he stands up, clearly underestimating his size. “Leah?”
“Hi.” She smiles and he finds himself smiling nervously along with her.
“Hi.” He steps out to pull out her chair for her and she laughs. "Nice to meet you."
“How long have you been waiting here?” she asks while setting down her bag.
“Around ten minutes.” He clears his throat to hopefully hide the fact that he was lying through his teeth.
“Just give me a second, I need to tell my friend I reached,” Leah pulls out her phone and he nods.
“Another glass of water for you?” The waiter seems less enthusiastic about Bucky’s 8th refill.
“Yes,” he answers, hoping he doesn’t call him out on it, “please.”
“You must be really dehydrated."
Bucky turns to look at him slowly. “I like the taste.”
He can’t really blame the guy. Bucky’s been there for hours without ordering anything solid, just leaching off their free water and complimentary bread basket.
“So, James.” She tosses her phone back into her bag, leaning forward on her palms easily. “Tell me about yourself.”
He had rehearsed this a million times. He could do this.
“I, uh,-”
“Menu?” Okay, so someone clearly had a vendetta against him.
“Thank you.” She takes it with a smile.
His morning debacle with the coffee flashes through his mind. Suddenly the idea of a diner didn’t seem so smart.
However, she’s already placed her order and George is standing beside him expectantly, daring him to ask for another glass of water, so he places his usual order and hopes that your stupid bad luck thing wore off.
He quickly learns that his date is laid back, and it isn’t hard to fall into a rhythm with her even though she’s the one asking most of the questions.
“How’d you meet Nat?” Is his attempt at one.
“She used to come in for lunch every week at the place I work.” Leah leans back in her chair. “She can really handle her alcohol.”
He’d be worried about Nat day drinking if he didn’t know about her complete inability to get drunk. She might as well have been downing glasses of lemonade.
“Yeah, she’s-” Intimidating, scary, cool “-really something.”
“She mentioned that you like movies.” He definitely spends a lot of time watching them. “You got any recommendations?”
It’s easier to figure out how different things are or how much he missed out over the years through them. He’s glad he sat out the early 2000s, judging by their fashion sense and hairstyles.
He's watched several movies over the past few months, a few of them critically acclaimed and others who were just there for the cult following.
But now everything goes blank and the only thing that he can remember are the biopics made about Steve that were somehow hilarious for gifting him the mental image of Freddie Prinze Jr. dressed in the stars and stripes, and highly distressing for the number of historical inaccuracies. Contrary to popular belief, Stevie did not, in fact, consider running for president after he took up the shield, nor did he start his own bar chain.
He can’t name Oh Captain, My Captain starring Channing Tatum as his favourite movie on his first date and hope to make a good first impression.
“Despicable Me was kinda fun.” He wants to kill himself. “I mean, it’s the last one I saw.”
Her face twists in mild disgust, but he can tell it isn't ill-intentioned. “It's a good movie, but God, that just gave me some intense flashbacks to my aunt’s Facebook page. Don’t think I can look at a minion ever again.”
He sniggers with her. He doesn’t know what the context is.
He’s a little awkward, and he can definitely tell he isn’t the most open book but she laughs at some of his attempts at jokes. There’s a distinct discomfort he has lingering at the back of his mind prodding at him, telling him over and over again that he isn’t ready for something like this. A warning bell, asking him to leave as soon as possible because he was in a dangerous situation.
He remembers what his therapist told him about breathing and remembering that the resources he had available were greater than his anxiety and he tries to get out of his head. It takes a few minutes of acting like he's fine but he manages to do it.
Other than the one time he scalds his tongue on the coffee but played it off with a pained smile, shoving down thoughts of your stupid invention, things actually went okay.
It was nice, even though they decided by the end that it was better if they both gelled together better as friends. It lifts the strange fear he feels and he can hear Dr. Mendoza say she's proud of him for taking this step before spending three hours psychoanalysing why they decided to stay platonic.
Bucky promises to visit her sushi shop with Nat soon and she says a bottle of sake awaits him for a drinking game. He doesn’t have the heart to tell her that Nat and he share the same tolerance for alcohol.
He makes sure to leave George a tip. A big one. It’s the first time he sees the guy smile the entire evening.
He’s waving goodbye to Leah outside and he thinks that maybe it was a good end to the day and that things actually turned out fine.
Until he turns around to leave, only to have someone walk straight into him with an iced tea.
The cold comes as a bit of a shock, making him jump slightly. He stares at his shirt, using his fingertips to pull it away from his body.
The person melts into a series of apologies immediately, offering to dry clean his shirt but Bucky just forces a shake of his head and says it’s okay even though he can feel the sugar making the shirt stick to his chest. Goose feathers and iced tea. Was there anything else that would like to attach itself to him?
His fists clench and his teeth grit and he has to physically control himself from sprinting to your lair because God knows what else is in store for him and he didn't want to add in any way.
The door to the lair is locked. Fuckin’ brilliant.
When no one answers after minutes worth of waiting, he fishes for his phone and realises that maybe two hours of Fruit Ninja was not the best idea, especially on a phone known for having shitty battery life.
There’s roughly 2 percent left. By the time he opens his app to give you a call, his phone screen goes black.
He groans. He’s desperate at this point and under any other normal circumstances, he would have never, ever considered doing this.
But ten minutes later he’s outside your apartment building. You’re aware that he has your address; no doubt that it was in the SHIELD file he had gotten, and he knows that you know but it was still weird.
The buzzer has your last name listed next to it. He’s sure that he’ll break it if he keeps pressing it at this rate but he really needs you to let him in.
“Who the fu-” your voice comes through the intercom.
“I’m sorry for showing up like this, my phone died and I couldn’t reach you,” He breathes out as soon as he hears you. “But I need you to fix this.”
When he doesn’t hear a reply, he wonders if the thing actually worked. He’s about to start pressing it again-
“Bucky?” You sound a little surprised to hear him. “You’re at my house. Why are you at my house?”
“I need you to fix whatever this is.”
“What are you- fine, I’m buzzing you in,” your voice, initially confused soon trails off into something more dismissive.
There’s a soft click from the door, allowing him to push it open. The elevator is already on the same floor as him so he just uses that.
The elevator goes up a floor or two. His feet tap restlessly against the carpeted floor.
The lights turn off and everything comes to a standstill. His foot stops tapping.
He should have known. He should have fucking known.
Thirty seconds pass. He’s still in pitch darkness with the elevator showing no signs of moving.
In fact, he’s resigned to his fate. He sits down on the ground, only one step away from completely laying down and hoping someone finds his body here someday.
It’s six minutes of plain silence. He might as well get comfortable if he’s going to get stuck here for the rest of his life. Did he change his will? Does he even have a will?
There’s finally a whir. He thinks that maybe he’s going to plummet to his doom as the perfect end to this day, but then the light switches on and it starts moving upward.
It stops at the floor with a ding. He doesn’t get off the ground, only eyes the door wearily. With his luck, it wouldn’t open.
But it does and within a second he’s on his feet, scrambling to get out before it changes its mind.
He remembers your door number, basically charging down the hall to get to it.
The door is white and the paint is starting to chip off it. The handle itself is dented in a few places and he wonders if it was your fault or someone else's.
His knocks are rapid, agitated even. He doesn’t stop until he hears your loud shouts telling him to cut it out.
“What the hell were you doing, trying to break down my door?” It swings open, revealing you in your pajamas. “Haven’t you done that already? And where were you, I’ve been waiting for like, ten minutes.”
He honestly feels bad for showing up uninvited and highly flustered. He can’t imagine it’s a pretty sight either. "This bad luck shit- fix it. My whole day’s been fucked up.”
“What are you-” Your eyebrows knit together in confusion, taking in his appearance.
It takes you a second to realise what he’s talking about but when you do, your face settles.
“How was your date?” You lean against the door frame, arms crossed over your chest.
“Really,” He glowered at you, “that’s what you care about?”
“Yes.” You nod. “Did you have fun?”
He hesitates. “I guess?”
“Was she nice?”
“Yeah.” Where was this going.
“Good, I’m happy for you.” The smile on your face is genuine. “Look at you go, Casanova.”
“We agreed to be just friends, but that’s not the point here. Y/N,” he whines. “I have a mission next week, I can’t afford to fuck up. My whole day was off and I don’t want it to carry over.”
“Your whole day?” you questioned, standing up instead of leaning against the wall. “Buck-”
“Just fix it.”
“Okay.” You lift your hand up, extending it towards his face.
He waits for you to do something.
You flick him on the forehead.
“There,” you declare, going back to your previous position. “you’re cured.”
What.
He says exactly what he’s thinking.
You laugh. “Dude. I was fucking with you.”
Huh?
“Well, actually maybe just like, three things and then I got bored.”
He’s confused.
“You know,” you begin when he doesn’t reply, “taking the sugar packets, switching your coffee order when you were looking under the table, took your place when you left, the shoelaces.”
“The shoelaces?”
“Yeah.” You nod. “That’s the other ray gun you saw this morning. Unties your shoelaces. I stopped after that because I thought you figured it out.”
His face scrunches in puzzlement.
“I mean, you looked right at me and told me to cut it out.”
He racks his brain about what you could possibly be talking about before it hits him. The hungover person on the goddamn bench in the park.
“You were the one in the hoodie and sunglasses.”
“I just followed the Avengers’ code of disguise.” You shrug. “Turns out it kinda works. Also teleportation. So helpful.”
He forgot about the teleportation. That's why you could do all of it so fast without him noticing you were even there.
“What about the fucking geese?”
You pause for a second. “The geese?”
“And the elevator.”
“What the hell are you talking about?” The confusion on your face is apparent. “What geese and elevator? I have no idea what you’re saying right now.”
“Everything’s been a mess today,” he grumbles. “I don’t know what’s real or not.”
“I swear I had nothing to do with it other than what I mentioned.” There’s indignation on your features that quickly gives way to delight. “Holy shit, did I just accidentally invent portable bad luck?”
“Okay-” his palm finds its way to his forehead in exasperation, “-then what the hell was the smell?”
“What smell- oh, the one from the box?”
He nods briskly.
“Secretions Magnifique.” You snorted. “It’s a perfume. The worst rated one I could find.”
“Perfume?”
“With notes of milk, seaweed and sandalwood.”
“It wasn’t an inator?”
“No, it wasn- did you get vibe checked by a goose at the park?” You stifle a laugh when you notice a stray feather on his thigh.
“What does that even mean?” he asks in despair.
“I can see why it attacked you. You got bad juju.” You raise an eyebrow. “Maybe if you stop staring so much-”
“So I just have shit luck.” Is that a fucking relief or even worse?
“Well,” you begin but decide not to continue.
Even with all the irritability masking it, you could see that he genuinely was just not having a good time.
“Wait here a second.”
You leave him at the door. He shifts his balance and sighs, fingers pinching the bridge of his nose. He still had to walk back to the Tower. Maybe he could grab a slice of pizza along the way since he skipped lunch.
“Okay, here.” You return with a large glass of water. He only looks at it. “It’s just water, I promise. You look like you ran a marathon."
He takes it from you sceptically, pushing away the urge to sniff at it. It’s gone within a few gulps.
You wait until he’s finished to point at his arm. He draws his eyebrows together, but you only curl your index finger and beckon for him to give you his hand.
He reluctantly extends it towards you.
“Don’t laugh,” you warn him, taking his metal arm. “This usually helps me.”
You tie a small bracelet around his wrist. It has a few beads, which he realises represent the colours of the solar system.
“Keep that for good luck.” You pat it gently after securing it. “I think you just had a bad day; those don’t last very long. Do you want to charge your phone before you leave?”
“Uh-” The bracelet’s pretty, the colours shine against the dark vibranium. “-no, I’m good. I’ll just leave.”
“Okay. Anything else I can help you with or will you be fine?”
He narrows his eyes. “You’re being suspiciously nice.”
“I’m not evil all the time.” You huff. “My hours are in the morning.”
“Okay.”
“Okay.”
“Okay,” he says again. “I’m gonna go then.”
“See you next week.” You give him a little wave. “I’d say break a leg on your mission but knowing your situation...”
He scoffs. “Thanks.”
You make a move to close the door when starts walking down the hallway towards the exit.
He adjusts the beads slightly so he can see them better. The Earth one has glitter in it. He thinks it’s cute.
“Bucky.”
He turns around.
There’s a hint of a smile on your face.
“Take the stairs.”
He doesn’t have to be told twice.

A lot of people have pointed out that Nandor has super strength and could have just pulled away from Guillermo or even run away while Guillermo was busy fighting off other vamps, and the tragic thing is that yes that but also Nandor was full brainwashed by that point. He fully believed that he didn’t have vampiric strength bc he wasn’t allowed to use it; it’s even possible he was weaker than usual because we don’t know what they were allowed to eat there and whether they were allowed to sleep with their dirt.
And other people have pointed out that this whole wellness center thing was something of a cry for help and that’s tragic too bc it totally was, as much as it was Nandor truly thinking this would make him happy. The fact that he left that pamphlet in plain sight in his room with a passive-aggressive note just to see if anyone would come after him is just fhjskshava [off key singing] Physically Painful~
Like yeah he was manically happy when the camera crew stopped by to do their catchup, but before that how was he? how many days/nights was Nandor lying awake or staring off into the distance (in the small moments he had that weren’t dedicated to keeping the entire group in such a blind frenzy of rhythmic energy that none of them could think straight) thinking “I bet Nadja will show up tomorrow screaming about me leaving her to do all the work herself, and I won’t even care haha” or “let Laszlo just try and show up and tell me I’m stupid, he’ll feel stupid when he sees how cute my human blowout is” or “did Colin Robinson bagsy my room when I was leaving or did I imagine that” or “wow I really thought Guillermo would - not that I care what Guillermo would do with his stakes and his big trench coat and his face slapping gloves anyway”
And when did those thoughts turn to “oh. No one is coming for me. They’re actually not coming for me”?
Like it genuinely just guts me that there probably were times when Nandor wouldn’t have looked confused and horrified to see Guillermo; or when he wouldn’t have said “I’ve never been happy until then and you took me away from that”, but by the time Guillermo got there it was too late and he was brainwashed to the point where he really believed that what he felt there was inclusion and love and happiness, and that he was a human simply because he’d been told he was now
But! It also pains me in a different way that even when Guillermo got there too late, Nandor didn’t run away. He believed he was human and that he was happy and that no one in the Staten Island house cared about him, but there was still enough muscle memory left for him to trust Guillermo implicitly and cover his face, not try to escape, and hold onto Guillermo’s hand while Guillermo got them both out of there
Anyway luckily this is a comedy so I look forward to the funny montage of deprogramming Nandor over a timeskip using rubber bands and feeding him sheep blood out of a baby bottle
