@loved-the-stars-too-fondly tagged me in a ship meme! I will try to make this interesting lol.

1. First ship

It’s a tie between Aladdin/Jasmine and Simba/Nala, because I saw both of these movies about the same time as a little kid. And my sixth birthday cake had a picture of Aladdin and Jasmine on it, and I used to tell stories about them to myself on the playground, but I had plushies of baby Simba and Nala with magnetic noses that could “kiss.”

2. First OTP

I am taking this to mean “first fic you felt strongly enough about to produce content for or engage with in a creative/fandom way,” in which case that would be Michael/Mia from The Princess Diaries. I wrote one (1) bad fanfic when I was 13 (about how Michael proposed and then Grandmere threw a fit BUT then he saved her life while they were horseback riding) that’s still on ff dot net somewhere, and I read basically every fanfic for them that was available on ff dot net. I still have an enormous soft spot for them and I reread the books every few years.

3. Current favorite ship

Since I’m on a Dimension 20 kick right now, even though I haven’t read much fanfic yet I’m going to say both Fig/Ayda from Fantasy High and Ricky/Esther/Sofia from The Unsleeping City. Fig/Ayda is incredibly cute because Fig is a tiefling with shapechanging ability who had a string of questionable romantic encounters with much older men before meeting Ayda, the teenage curator of a magic library who is also an autistic Black phoenix. Fig is very impulsive and brash, but also emotionally closed-off and insecure, but she starts bonding with Ayda because Ayda thinks she’s really cool and admires her bravado. Fig doesn’t know what to do with someone who’s so intimidating but cool who seems to really like her, and, well, you can watch this scene where they get together, it’s very good. It contains Fig vomiting into a bush, then saying “I think you’re perfect the way you are,” then skateboarding away in a panic. It’s maybe the most accurate sapphic rep I’ve ever seen.

Ricky/Esther are just two incredibly nice people who get together in The Unsleeping City, but I think that they should also get together with their friend Sofia because of reasons. I genuinely think the canon supports this reading quite a bit.

4. Your ship since the first minute

I have a fun story for this, which is that literally since day 1 of Korra, I wanted her to have a girlfriend (post date: 12/7/11), and the second Asami showed up I was like eyes emoji. And then I dropped off the show after the first season for a few reasons, kind of assuming they would never do an f/f couple and casually shipping Korrasami sort of out of spite, but THEN my friend messaged me immediately after the finale like DUDE YOU’LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED. And that was honestly one of the emotional high points of my fandom life.

5. Ship(s) you wish had been endgame

I have...many! Bering and Wells from Warehouse 13 is paramount, obviously, because that is a wound in my soul from which I will never recover. Cartinelli from Agent Carter slightly less so, but I think that was truly the last time that I had real hope for a canon f/f ship. I think Matt/Foggy/Karen should have all been romantic together because Matt/Karen by themselves has weird vibes and I don’t like it. Obviously I think Fitz should have died in the series finale and Skimmons should have been canon, and as far as I’m concerned he died of a brain tumor after that and then they got together. (Daniel is also involved still, he’s a chill dude and I like him and it’s fine.)

6. Ship you wish was canon

Grace/Dani from Terminator: Dark Fate, because wow did they shoehorn in an incredibly hilarious attempt at mommyzoning Dani (didn’t work, it’s still gay fuckos). But it would’ve been nice if they’d just leaned into it and let the horny lesbian ghost that possessed the screenwriters make it explicitly gay. Also I think Cameron/Donna and Gordon/Joe from Halt and Catch Fire should have been canon because that show is already basically about the world’s messiest polycule anyway, and Joe is canon bi and already treats Gordon like a booty call, and Cameron and Donna act like either romantic partners or bitter/awkward exes, so like. c’mon. Also I think Daisy/Robbie should have been a thing.

7. Ship that most of the fandom hates but you love

Natasha/Bruce is cute COME AT ME. Age of Ultron is a bad movie but they could have been cute!!!!

8. You don’t even watch the show, but you ship it

Uhhhh. Most things I end up secondhand shipping I end up consuming the canon for eventually lol. I was secondhand shipping Cameron/Donna from Halt and Catch Fire last year because my friend was watching it but then I just...also watched it lol. Uhhhh. The Killing Eve lesbians seem fun I guess? I’ll get to that eventually.

9. Ship you wish had a different storyline

I’m digging deep for this one, but Buffy/Faith from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I think they had SUCH a cool dynamic that kind of stopped getting explored after season 4, and it’s a bummer. I don’t think they’re like, endgame or true love or anything, but I think they’re sort of the messy pair that can’t completely disentangle from each other, and maybe they don’t even really want to? I think that they couldn’t live in the same house or anything but that they meet up and hang out and probably fuck every couple years, and it’s good.

10. Favorite ship(s) that’s endgame

GAMBIT/ROGUE GOT MARRIED IN THE COMICS. I’M SO PSYCHED. I don’t know if Karolina/Nico from Runaways counts as endgame but I love them, and I also love Gert/Chase. I’m rewatching Nikita and am delighted to know that Michael/Nikita is still very good. Priya/Tony from Dollhouse is also very good. Daisy/Daniel was honestly the best outcome SHIELD could have realistically given me and I was quite happy with it. I don’t know if Magnus Archives ships count but I really like Georgie/Melanie (we stan sapphic accidental apocalypse cult leaders). Oh and I like all the canon Avatar: The Last Airbender ships too.

EDIT: I FORGOT MY BELOVED ARAGORN/ARWEN AND WILL/ELIZABETH (PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN).

I’m tagging @swiftzeldas @toriasimmons @dollsome-does-tumblr @theomenroom @zenithofdork if you wanna!

Literally every ship you like is a ship I'm also into, I've never been so well aligned with someone's tastes on my dash lol. Anyway, if you care to answer, what are your top 5 otps from any show right now?

Omg haha that's so refreshing! I love it when that happens (although it’s very rare lol) Here's my top 5 from tv shows of all time (probably):

Buffy/Angel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

Jamie/Claire (Outlander)

Oliver/Felicity (Arrow)

Marianne/Connell (Normal People) (I know technically it's a limited series/book but 😭😭😭)

Jack/Kate (LOST)

Honorable mentions:

Damon/Elena (The Vampire Diaries)

Lucas/Peyton (One Tree Hill)

Buffy/Faith (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

Rory/Jess (Gilmore Girls)

Clarke/Lexa (The 100) (although I do also love Bellarke but I have a slight preference for Clexa)

Eve/Villanelle (Killing Eve)

Peter/Catherine (The Great)

Most of these couples are from older shows... But of the show I've discovered more recently, I'd say Peter/Catherine takes the cake.

#THE WAY I SHIP TOO MANY COUPLES 😭😭😭#I KNOW i'm missing some #top 3 will never change tho #like I didn't mention serenate but once again it's an older show #also ryan/marissa... jim/pam... yeah #and I haven't really watched many new shows recently except for the great #by new I mean recent #like I recently watched lost despite it being from 2004 if u catch my drift

GiyuShino Week Day 3

Prompt: Alternate Universe, Touch

This is on AO3 as well!

[AU in which Kanae and Sabito didn’t die, so Shinobu’s still an angry bean and Giyuu.. is uncannily soft and smiley]

IM REALLY LATE SO IM SPAM POSTING!!!!! Anyway, have this horribly written fanfiction(lol), but I wanted to write smth soft for these babies hhHHH

Today too, the pit of anger that was ever-building in the pits of Shinobu’s stomach flared up with vehement rage once more.

She’d just completed a mission— one with details and occurrences so eerily similar to the ones she had become so hauntingly familiar with as a child. Huddling in the corner of her own house, shivering in fear and hold Kanae tight, trying to hold back the tears. In her mind, vivid images of their parents, caked in blood. And then, the sounds of the demon right outside the closet gorging himself on her parents, and the horror of knowing full well it was her turn next.

No one should ever have to face something like that, but Shinobu and Kanae did.

Those kids did, too.

She’d been too late, too foolish, and now they were like what she once was— lost, fearful, and grieving. Though those kids had found relatives that would care for them, it would never change the trauma and horrors of this single gruesome experience.

The injustice of it all made her hands shake with rage, and she grit her teeth to the point where it made a sound loud enough to be heard by her partner.

Giyuu glanced over, clueless though thoughtful.

Shinobu barely noticed it through her scowl and rage, at least not until he reached for her hand.

Startled, the female demon slayer ripped her hand away from her fellow coworker. Her scowl deepened, anger and irritation clouding over her delicate features.

“What was that for?”

Giyuu paused. After a tentative moment, he offered a slight smile, as if to appease her.

“I asked you a question, so it’s only right that you answer me,” she scoffed, letting her arm drop to her side again. There was no point talking to this man. He would only answer in questionable smiles and even more confusing gestures, only actually speaking on his own whims— trying to hold a conversation with him only infuriated Shinobu further. She had absolutely no idea why she had to be partnered with him, of all people.

Deep breaths, Shinobu, deep breaths.

She needed to calm herself. Harbouring all this anger would do nothing but keep her in a foul mood. It was all over, and there was nothing she could do about the situation regarding those children she had saved. Instead, she should be focusing on the next time, so this wouldn’t happen again. Furthermore—

“—hands were shaking. You looked cold.”

“Huh?”

Giyuu reached for Shinobu’s hand again, and smiled softly. This time, she didn’t pull away.

Still, she protested. “There’s no need for that. I’m fine.”

“Cold.”

Shinobu opened her mouth to reason with her stubborn partner, but the softness in his face and the quiet, observant look in his eyes made her shut her mouth hesitantly. A few moments of silence passed.

“Fine,” Shinobu relented, muttering soft, but loud enough for only Giyuu’s ears. “You... can hold onto my hand, but only for a bit.”

The way his face brightened up was undeniably endearing. His cheeks flushed a little with happy colour and his smile widened into a grin, quiet but rejoicing, and his eyes, so blue like the ocean, lightened hopefully.

Shinobu fought back the twitch in the corner of her mouth and pulled her face taut into an expression of displeasure. Her delicate lips made a thin line across her face, and she held her eyebrows furrowed grumpily. “Happy now?”

His reply came in a slow nod. Giyuu squeezed her one hand, fingers laced between hers, and smiled contently.

Shinobu would never verbalise it, but something in the way he touched her managed to quell her anger so quickly.

His touch was tender and sweet, and all too much like Kanae’s gentle brush over Shinobu’s skin when she was checking for injuries, yet so akin to something more than friends, than acquaintances, but not quite lovers and still yearning for something deeper. All of it, and coupled with his foolish, stupid, adorable smile, gave her goosebumps and a thrumming in her heart that Shinobu tried her best to ignore.

Her fury melted away and so did her resolve, so Shinobu simply let him hold her hand in his, knowing full well that this skinship extended past simply warming her hand. He’d been concerned. Concerned for her and her emotional turmoil.

Turning her face away from him, Shinobu went through a long string of vulgarities in her head. Oh, this stupid man. Shinobu could never hold onto her anger around him, she was quickly learning.

She huffed, then pressed her free hand against her cheek facing him to cover her face, so Giyuu would not see the small, minuscule smile present on her face.

Heightened

This is a request from @millennial-star-gazer :) Sorry it took me so long to finish this! And I might've changed it a bit because I'm not really confident in my skills of writing E.N.D. lol. Hope you like it anyways! :D

"Heightened"

Rated M for smut.

Summary: After eating a potion-infused chip he bought from some sketchy clerk, Natsu is thrown into Dragon Force. Lucy quickly finds that it isn't just his appearance that is affected. With heightened senses, the boy is possessive and territorial over her.

Heightened

"Sir, could you perhaps be a dragon slayer?"

Natsu's ears perked at the question. He and Happy had been traveling home from one of the jobs that they went on together. Even though they loved the rest of Team Natsu, the two still chose to do some jobs alone to spend some time together.

Natsu nodded at the man behind the counter. They were currently in a magic shop, looking for any keys that they could bring back to Lucy.

"Yeah, I am. Why?" he asked.

"I have something that you might like," the man answered. "But first, do you have a partner?"

"Partner?" Natsu immediately pictured Lucy. "Yeah, I do. Why?"

"Because I can only sell it to you if you have one."

"Oh. Well what is it?"

The man bent down and pulled an item from behind the counter. Inside of a small bag was a sole potato chip.

Natsu quirked a brow, crossing his arms. "A chip? You're selling me a chip?"

"It's not just any kind of chip," the clerk said. "It's one that will make things more fun between you and your partner."

"More fun? How?"

"You'll have to see for yourself." The man's lips curled into a small smile, his cheeks tinted pink.

Natsu stared at the chip skeptically. It was a hefty price to pay for just a chip, but the guy did say it'd make things more fun. That was worth it, right? And since the shop didn't sell any celestial keys, they could use the money they saved for that on this instead.

"Alright, I'll take it!" Natsu exclaimed with an eager grin.

The man mirrored his expression, accepting the money and offering him the chip.

Little did Natsu know at the time that the kind of fun the man meant was something totally different.

Arriving at the guild, Natsu's eyes immediately searched for a head of golden hair while Happy flew towards Charle. Finding the blonde sitting at the bar with Cana and Mira, the boy decided to sneak up on her. Right behind her, he squeezed her sides and shouted, eliciting a scream from the girl.

Lucy turned around, glaring at Natsu. "Natsu! Don't do that, you jerk!"

The boy cackled. "It's too funny, Luce!"

"It's not funny!"

"Yeah it is!"

"It kinda is," Cana agreed.

"Yep!" Mira chimed in.

Lucy rolled her eyes. "Whatever." Turning towards her partner, she smiled at him. "How did the job go?"

"Piece of cake!" Natsu answered with a wide grin.

"That's good. I was actually going to go back to my place to write on my novel."

"Oh, I'll go with you."

"Okay, but you need to be quiet since I need to concentrate on my story! Are you going to bring Happy?"

"Nah, he's been talkin' this whole time about winning Charle's heart the moment we got back so I'm gonna let him do his thing."

With that, they were saying their goodbyes to everyone in the guild before heading back to Lucy's apartment. Natsu walked a step behind Lucy as she walked on the edge of the canal. He was on his toes to make sure that she wouldn't fall in- though, that'd be a pretty funny sight. He told her all about their job, all the while watching Lucy.

The sunlight reflected off of Lucy's golden hair, making her look like an angel. His eyes glazed over her curves, his fingers itching to feel them. He shook his head, forcing his gaze onto the pavement.

He and Lucy weren't like that. At least, not yet. Ever since the battle with Zeref and Acnologia, the two were in a weird stalemate. Natsu had a feeling that she had a thing for him, just as he did for her, but neither of them chose to really act on it. Maybe they were waiting for each other to make a move. Natsu wasn't sure. But he didn't want to do anything that Lucy wasn't ready for.

Reaching the girl's apartment, Lucy immediately went to her desk while Natsu situated himself on her bed. They were in a content silence as Lucy worked on her novel and Natsu played with his fire.

Still, Natsu could only keep himself entertained for so long. After half an hour passed of them sitting in silence, he was starting to feel fidgety. No longer interested in playing with fire, he shoved his hands in his pockets, his brows quirking as he felt a plastic bag in one of them. He had forgotten all about the chip.

"Lucy!" he suddenly called out, causing the girl to jump in her seat.

With a hand over her chest to calm her startled heart, she turned to face him. "What, Natsu? Don't just scream my name like that! You scared me!"

He smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. "Sorry, sorry! But I just remembered something I bought for us!"

This piqued the blonde's interest. In seconds, she was getting up from her chair and sitting by him on the bed.

"What is it?" she asked, a wide smile stretched over her face. Reaching into his pocket, Natsu pulled out the plastic bag, showing it off. Lucy peered curiously at it, blanching when she saw what was inside. "A chip? You got us a chip? Not even a full bag, but just one single chip?"

"Yeah! The guy said that it would make things fun!" Natsu replied.

"How?"

"He said I'd have to see for myself."

Lucy placed a hand on his shoulder, shaking her head. "I'm sorry, Natsu, but you totally got ripped off. The guy just put a potato chip in the bag and said some nonsense about it so some idiot would buy it."

"Oi! I'm not an idiot!"

"You just bought a single potato chip."

"For us," Natsu said, nudging the girl. "I don't think he was lying!"

"What makes you say that?" Lucy asked.

"Because he knew I was a dragon slayer! So this only works for dragon slayers. And he said he could only sell it to me if I have a partner."

"Partner?"

"Yeah. Like you and Happy."

Lucy sighed. "Well, I'll let you have it."

Natsu inspected the chip. It did look like an ordinary chip… He shook his head. He refused to believe that he was played!

So, without a second thought, he plopped the chip into his mouth and began to chew. It tasted like any other chip. Swallowing, he waited for anything to happen.

"Well?" Lucy asked, staring at the boy. "Anything happen?"

The boy crossed his arms with a pout. "Not yet. But just give it some time! I'm sure it'll-!"

Natsu's eyes widened, his jaw slacking. His breaths began to stagger and his heart felt like it was beating a mile per second. He clutched his chest, the world around him starting to spin.

"Natsu?" Lucy called out. "Natsu, what's wrong?"

The boy couldn't even hear her. A strange, foreign heat traveled through his body. Being a fire dragon slayer who ate fire on a daily basis, his body always felt warm. But this was different. This was painful.

Natsu inhaled sharply, fisting his hair as the heat got worse. It felt like it was bundling up, about to explode within him.

Lucy was getting worried. Was the chip poisoned? Was that why he was acting like this? Looping an arm underneath Natsu, she began to lead him towards the door.

"I'm going to take you to the guild!" she told him, unsure if he could even hear her. He didn't react at all, so she doubted he could. "Maybe Wendy or Master can do something about this!"

It was a long, hard walk to the guild. Carrying Natsu the entire way was a struggle. It didn't help that the townspeople were staring at them, and it especially didn't help when Natsu would start to thrash around in pain.

But finally, they reached the guild. Kicking open the door, everyone in the guild turned their attention towards them.

"Someone help me!" Lucy shouted. Carrying Natsu the entire way had taken its toll on her body and she was exhausted. Falling to her knees, she was relieved when Gray and Erza came to help.

"What's wrong?" Gray asked, lifting Natsu and sitting him down at the nearest table. Everyone in the guild circled around them, concerned for the dragon slayer.

"I-I don't know!" Lucy answered, standing right beside the ice-make mage. "He bought some chip from someone saying that it would make things fun or something and next thing I knew he was like this! Wendy, can you help him?"

The girl frowned, shaking her head. "I'm not really sure what the problem is."

"It isn't poison?"

"No. If it were, I could heal him."

"I know where the shop is!" Happy chimed in. "Maybe we should go see the guy that sold it to us!"

"That's a good idea," Erza replied. "It doesn't help that none of us knows what's happening. We need to get some answers."

Lucy frowned, gnawing on her lower lip as she watched Natsu writhe in agony. She hated seeing him hurt. Suddenly, a cold hand landed on her shoulder. Gray smiled at her.

"Don't worry, Lucy," he said. "We'll figure it out. Flame Brains will be back to his annoying, idiotic self in no time."

Lucy nodded, forcing a smile to her face. "You're right. Thank you, Gr-!"

A low growl had interrupted her. Whipping her head towards Natsu, Lucy's eyes grew wide as her jaw dropped on its hinges. Natsu's pupils had turned to slits as he glared at Gray. Anger gleamed in his eyes. Suddenly, scales started to grow out of some parts of his face.

"Dragon Force?" Gajeel asked. "Why the hell is he goin' into Dragon Force?"

Before anyone could say anything else, Natsu leapt from his spot, tackling Gray down to the ground.

"Oi! What the hell, Natsu!" Gray shouted, trying to get him off.

Natsu ignored him, baring his sharp teeth. Another low growl resonated in his throat.

"Don't. Touch. Her," he ground out.

Everyone's eyes widened.

"Wait, is he talking about Lucy?" Erza asked.

"I only put my hand on her shoulder!" Gray said.

This only caused Natsu to get angrier. His nails turned to sharp claws, which he held dangerously close to Gray's face.

"Don't touch her!" he repeated. His voice was lower than normal, scratchy and hoarse.

Erza went to get Natsu off of Gray when the boy threatened to slash at her instead. Lucy swallowed thickly, taking a step towards him. She didn't want to set him off, but she needed to get him away from Gray.

"Natsu," she called out. This gained the boy's attention. "Come here."

He got up and went by the girl's side. Gray scoffed, glaring at him.

"I think I know what the problem is," Levy said, gaining everyone's attention. "Natsu wasn't poisoned. But he was definitely given something."

"What is it?" Lucy asked.

Levy blushed and chuckled awkwardly. "Well, it's going to sound crazy…"

"Just tell us!"

"I think the chip might've been infused with a potion that makes someone possessive and territorial. And since Natsu's a dragon slayer, that side of him is worse than most people's. His senses will be heightened."

"The guy did say that it was meant for dragon slayers," Happy informed her. "And that he could only sell it if Natsu had a partner."

"Partner? Well, that only proves my point. He meant partner as in significant other, not a partner you go on jobs with."

Lucy flushed from head to toe. "Wait… So you're saying that Natsu is possessive of… me?"

"Yep," Levy answered with a nod.

"But-But we aren't even- What!?"

"Oh please," Gray said, crossing his arms. "Everyone knows how you guys feel about each other. And I guess this means that Ash for Brains does too."

Lucy's cheeks were set ablaze. She did not come here to have her feelings towards Natsu talked about amongst the whole guild.

"Don't worry, Lucy," Levy said. "The effect will wear off eventually. For now, just endure it."

"You should probably take him home," Erza suggested. "We don't want him hurting anyone."

Lucy nodded, her heart thumping within her chest. Take Natsu home? While he was like this?

"Okay," she said. "Let's go, Natsu. Happy." That seemed to trigger the dragon slayer as he glared at Happy with a growl. "Seriously? You're getting jealous over Happy too?"

The exceed frowned. "It's okay, Lucy. I'll just go home. You can take Natsu to your apartment."

Lucy smiled apologetically towards the cat, knowing that his feelings were probably hurt. "Alright. Bye, everyone."

The guild wished her luck, and with that, she was out the door.

Even though carrying Natsu to the guild was tough, this was worse. Every time someone so much as looked at her, Natsu was charging them and getting in their faces. The same happened if someone was just walking close to her.

"Stop it already!" Lucy demanded, dragging Natsu by the scarf into her apartment. Once she closed the door behind her, she leaned against it with a sigh of relief, glad to be back home. Since they were alone, there was nobody Natsu could get angry at.

"Well, Natsu?" Lucy started, opening her eyes to glance at him. "What do you want to do-!"

The words died in her throat as she saw the way Natsu was looking at her. She was no fool. She was not blind to the hunger and desire that filled his onyx orbs.

A blush crawled up her face. "Umm, what do you want to do?"

Natsu ignored her and continued to stare at her. Her eyes trailed over the scales that protruded his skin. The dark look in his eyes paired with those scales…

Heat erupted within the girl like a volcano as the area between her thighs began to tingle in excitement. Lucy wanted to bash her own head in the wall. What was she getting turned on for? It wasn't like she could actually do anything!

Still, Lucy blushed from the intense look Natsu was giving her. This was her first time seeing him in Dragon Force. She'd seen him angry many times, but this was different. Though he was angry at everyone else, he never looked angry when he gazed at her.

Lucy was drawn from her thoughts as she saw Natsu walking towards her. With a tiny squeal, she pushed herself against the door. Natsu stopped right in front of her, his eyes boring into hers.

"N-Natsu?" she called out.

Before she could even register what was happening, Lucy found herself caged between Natsu's arms.

"Lucy…" he said, his voice low and alluring. The girl couldn't help but shudder from his voice.

"W-What are you doing?"

Natsu slowly started to lean his face towards hers. Lucy got the hint immediately, squirming in her spot with flared cheeks. Was this really happening? Was this going to be her first kiss?

With a frown, Lucy stopped him.

She wanted to kiss him, she really did. She had wanted to for a long time, actually. After all, she was madly in love with Natsu. But this was different. Natsu wasn't in control of himself and she didn't want to take advantage of him like that.

"I can't," she whispered.

"Why not?" he asked, gently grabbing her wrist.

"Because you may want this now, but I don't want you to regret it when the effects of that potion wear off."

Natsu tugged on her wrist, pulling her against him. "I won't regret it. I'm still me, Luce." With that, he began his descent towards her lips once again.

Lucy's breaths were shaky as he got closer and closer. Her brain was short-circuiting, her thoughts a jumbled mess. She could feel his breath fanning against her face. She closed her eyes, anticipating what was to come. And finally, their lips met.

At first, the kiss was soft, as if their lips were barely even touching. Fire shot through Lucy's body, coursing through her veins. Then, Natsu began to push harder against her, molding his lips with her own.

It was sloppy at first, but they soon got the hang of it, their lips washing over each other's like waves. Lucy, unsure of what to do with her arms, snaked them around Natsu's neck, bringing herself against him. She could faintly hear another one of his low growls, which she took as a sign that he liked it.

Everything was happening so fast. Not even an hour ago, the two were dancing around their feelings. And now, they were sharing passionate kisses.

Lucy couldn't complain about that.

Natsu began to tug on Lucy's lip with his sharpened teeth, gently enough so that it wouldn't hurt her. The sensation was odd, but Lucy found herself liking it as she began to tug on his hair. This spurred the boy to advance further, his tongue darting into Lucy's mouth and sliding against her own.

Lucy's eyes opened as she squealed, unfamiliar with such a feeling. Well, she was unfamiliar with all of this, but that caught her off guard.

Natsu smirked at her, making her fidget in her spot. The way his eyes bore into hers, the teasing smirk…

Natsu leaned towards her again, planting his lips against hers. As if warming her up to it, he switched between licking her lower lip and tugging it with his teeth. Then, he slowly pushed his tongue into her mouth.

Lucy leaned into the kiss, enjoying the odd sensation of brushing tongues with Natsu. His hands landed on her hips, tugging at her flesh that was revealed by her crop top. She could feel his fingers dipping underneath the hem of her shirt. The tingling sensation between her legs grew to a dull ache.

Natsu pulled away from their kiss and stared into Lucy's eyes as he paused his advances, silently asking for permission. Lucy was glad that even under the effects of the potion, he still had to control to make sure she was okay with it. With blushing cheeks, Lucy grabbed Natsu's hand and trailed it upwards, giving him the answer he was looking for.

Natsu crashed his lips over hers once again, his hand slowly moving up her side and under her shirt. His other hand was kept on her lower back, pushing her against him.

As Lucy felt Natsu's hand getting closer and closer to her breast, she couldn't help but squirm in anticipation. He'd touched them before, but this time would be different. She could tell he was teasing her by how slowly he was moving. His touches were driving her crazy.

Finally, his hand grazed her breast, causing her to inhale sharply. Natsu continued his pursuit until his thumb was right next to her hardened nub. He pushed his tongue into her mouth again as his thumb rolled over her peak, eliciting a whimper from the girl.

In seconds, Lucy found herself pushed against the door, moaning as Natsu continued to fondle her breast. To think that she'd been missing out on such pleasure! She could tell that her moans were having an affect on Natsu with the way he started to get rougher with his kisses.'

Not that she'd minded.

Natsu growled again as Lucy's fingers raked his back. His lips left hers in pursuit of her neck instead. He ravaged the skin, sucking it roughly and smoothing his tongue over it, leaving red marks in his wake.

Lucy whimpered again as Natsu's thumb rolled over her nipple. The ache between her legs was growing harder and harder to ignore. She needed to relieve herself. Her body acted on its own as she rolled her hips against Natsu, feeling something hard against her thigh. With flushed cheeks, Lucy glanced down to find something bulging under Natsu's pants.

Natsu growled at Lucy, his body reacting to the way she rolled against him. He suddenly picked her up, all the while sucking on her neck. Her legs wrapped around his torso until she was dropped onto the bed.

Natsu grabbed the hem of her skirt before meeting Lucy's gaze again. She nodded quickly, watching as he tore her skirt off. At this point, she was fine with him doing anything to her as long as he'd relieve her of the ache between her legs. Natsu then ripped her shirt off, literally. Lucy couldn't care less at the moment though. Now she was left in only her red, lacy underwear.

Lucy wriggled in anticipation, waiting for Natsu to touch her again. Instead, she watched as Natsu went to her desk, grabbing one of her ribbons. With an arched brow, she watched Natsu approach her again.

Natsu settled himself over her, crashing her lips against hers. Her hands fisted his hair, but not for long before he grabbed her wrists and held her arms above her head. In seconds, she found her arms tied above her head to the pillars of the bed.

"N-Natsu?" she called out breathily.

The boy ignored her, tracing his fingers over her chest, circling her breasts. Lucy wriggled from the touch and rolled her hips towards him as he grazed her hardened peaks. Natsu smirked, amused with the reaction. And now Lucy had figured out why he had tied her up.

To torture her.

Instead of finishing her like she had hoped he would do, Natsu took his time teasing her. His lips traveled from her own lips towards her neck, then towards her chest. She swallowed thickly as he left butterfly kisses over her collarbone and down to the crease of her breasts. He circled the area around her sensitive nubs before slowly grazing his tongue over them.

This elicited a loud moan from Lucy, rolling her hips in need of being relieved. Natsu pulled the nub into his mouth, sucking and licking it. Lucy felt like she was walking on air, like she was on ecstasy. She'd never felt anything so pleasurable before, it was driving her crazy.

"N-Natsu…" she breathed out, her face flushed and dotted with sweat.

"Not yet," he replied, moving his face to her other breast and repeating the process. Lucy wasn't sure how much longer she could hold up.

Soon enough, Natsu's hand slid up her thigh, towards her underwear. His fingers danced along the hem, teasing her by sometimes slipping a finger underneath.

"Natsu," Lucy said, glaring at him.

"Beg for it," Natsu demanded.

"I'm not going to beg!"

Natsu's finger grazed over her underwear, feeling her juices soak through the fabric. His fingers delved closer and closer to her entrance, making her moan. Finally, she was going to be relieved of this suffering!

Then Natsu pulled his hand back, smirking at her.

"Beg," he said.

"F-Fine!" Lucy shouted, no longer able to control herself. "Please, Natsu. Please, for the love of god, finish what you started."

Natsu grinned, showing off his sharp teeth. Instead of using his fingers, which was what Lucy expected him to use, Natsu left kisses starting from her breasts, trailing down her stomach and over her underwear. Using his teeth, he tore the underwear apart, reveling in the flesh that he'd never seen up close like this before.

"N-Natsu?" Lucy called out. "What are you doing?"

He ignored her as spread her legs farther apart and began kissing her inner thigh. He slowly moved upwards to her folds.

Lucy's eyes widened as she realized what he was going to do. She squirmed, unable to hold still as his lips worked their way up to her region. Finally, he hovered over her folds, his hot breath fanning her entrance. Then, he began to suck on her lips, causing Lucy to moan.

He flicked his tongue over her clitoris, amused with the reaction as Lucy arched her back and screamed his name. He did it again and again, teasing her before he slid his tongue past her folds and circled her entrance. He could feel Lucy's legs wrap around his head, but he grabbed them and pushed her legs as far apart as he could, keeping them in place no matter how much she wriggled around.

And once his tongue slowly entered her, she began to thrash around.

"Natsu!" she cried, unable to help herself. The area was so sensitive, she needed to wrap her legs around his head, but he wouldn't let her. No, instead, he kept going deeper inside of her, exploring her edges with his tongue.

Lucy could feel her toes curling as she was on the brink of release. Once Natsu quickened his pace, her legs buckled and she shattered against him, calling out his name. It was like she was on a high, her body trembling as pleasure washed over her. Moans continuously slipped past her lips as he continued to circle his tongue inside of her even though she already climaxed. She rolled her hips against his face, trying to get his tongue even deeper inside of her.

Once the waves of pleasure began to die down, Lucy's legs went limp and Natsu finally pulled his tongue out of her. His eyes trailed over her naked body, dark and hungry still.

"Want to untie me now so I can finish you?" Lucy asked between pants.

Natsu smirked, shaking his head.

"Nah, I'm gonna keep you tied up."

"How am I supposed to finish you then?"

Natsu brought a finger to her mouth, answering her question with the action. Lucy's blush deepened as she nodded her head. She couldn't help but agree to whatever Natsu wanted. Honestly, she wanted to do it too.

So, she watched as Natsu pulled down his pants, his hardened member finally being set free. He caged Lucy between his legs as he brought his cock up to her mouth. Lucy opened her mouth, allowing Natsu to push his shaft inside.

Lucy was a little embarrassed to be in such a position, but at the same time it was exhilarating. Now she knew how Natsu had felt while pleasuring her. She enjoyed being able to pleasure Natsu.

He slowly pushed deeper inside, as far as he could before Lucy's gag reflex would be triggered. Once he knew how far he could go, he picked up speed, thrusting in and out of her mouth. The warmth of her mouth over his length had him seeing stars.

It didn't take long for him to feel like he was about to finish, not when Lucy tightened her lips around his shaft so that it tugged at it every time he thrusted. He could tell she was feeling adventurous herself.

Natsu's legs buckled and he moaned softly as he pulled out immediately, white liquid spurting out and landing on Lucy's face. His breaths were staggered as he leaned over her, watching the liquid drip down the side of her face.

Lucy's eyes widened, feeling a warm liquid slide down her face. She knew what it was, and honestly she was a little thrown off for a second. She'd heard Cana share stories of guys finishing on her face, but it never sounded appealing to her. But now, watching Natsu's eyes glaze over the trail of cum on her face in satisfaction, she began to understand why some girls liked it.

Natsu tore the ribbon that he had used to keep Lucy tied up. Her arms fell limply at her sides, numb. The two of them laid side by side, silent, save for their panting.

"How was it?" Lucy finally asked.

Natsu smirked at her. "Let me put it this way, you better relax while you can before we go for another round. And don't even bother putting on clothes unless you want me to rip those off too."

Lucy grinned, a blush spreading over her face. Suddenly, Natsu's words from before replayed in her head.

"The guy said that it would make things fun!" Natsu had said while explaining why he bought the chip.

Well, the guy wasn't wrong.

That was definitely fun.

More Late Comment Replies

Hey people. I just watched Endgame, and since Thanos memes always remind me of my story because they kept coming up in the comments for some reason, I’ve decided to come back and reply to some more late comments. Here goes.

HorsemanOTA: “looks like you finished this earlier this year but i wish i would have come by it sooner, spent the past almost week binge reading this story and have loved every minute of it, i cant say im not disappointed that all three of them didn't end up in a poli-relationship, i was hoping it would have ended like that. The crutch thing i can understand but i feel like they had bonded way too much for it to end way, it hurt me that that was the out for her to be like i gotta squash it and let it be a pair instead of a trio. Got so invested in your version of Lucy lol. regardless i loved just about all of this fic so thank you for the read, hope this review reaches you well. Later Daze”

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! I’m a little let down that I couldn’t have all three of them get together in the end, too. But I couldn’t just snap my fingers and make everything turn out alright in the end. I wanted to stay true to the story I was writing and it just didn’t fit for that to happen at that point.

J Master 87: “Holy shit. That was down right amazing. I absolutely loved this story, the interactions, the twists and turns. It was everything I could have asked for in a Ben 10 fic. Thank you for that”

You’re welcome! I only had a few real ‘twists’ I’d say, but I’m glad I managed to pull them off well enough for some people to enjoy.

Guest: “Lurking in the shadows huh? Batman, is that you? For being the world’s greatest detective you sure gave your identity away pretty easily”

CrimsonBolt1: “This is enjoyable so far. Reminds me of Little Moments in feel. Nice to see them finally starting to be open and honest with each other. I like your Lucy. Much better inclusion than a random OC.”

I didn’t want to make any OCs major characters in the story. Lucy ended up being a good fit for the role I needed. Also, for anyone who hasn’t seen, shadows59 just started a reboot of Little Moments, so go and check that out.

yuyuyre: “Why, this is my first ben10 fanfic and I'm glad. It's beautiful, truely. Thank you for writing this wonderful story.”

Thanks! There are lots more great Ben 10 fanfics out there if you’re interested, so I hope you find some others that you enjoy, too!

Hassan Elgarni1: “Nothing to do, so I re-read. Sigh. And shit, no more good fanfictions for ben10, plus the fandom seems like it's diying. What to do? We're lost without some drama in our life. No! I mean some dramatic stories to read about, and this one seems to always fit.”

Not to plug for it too much, but there’s that Little Moments reboot now...

Guest: “Can we get that Lucy ending or that afterstory as a Christmas present? We got a snow map in PubG, Fortnite season 7, MCU trailers with Avengers: Endgame, Blackout from CoD, GOTY awards, it’s such a shame RDR2 didn’t bag the prize but can’t really say God of War didn’t deserve it so an update would be the icing on the cake, unless you’re pre occupied with unwrapping presents. Also, can we have a Ben 10 battle royale mode too? Thanks”

Sorry I couldn’t get that Ben 10 battle royale out in time for Christmas. Also, I’m not working on a continuation for this story right now. I’m too busy trying to find time to work on my Legend of Zelda story.

Guest: “Me when gojaimas updates: Ayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayaya”

Guest: “According to the Bible we're all related, so we all share blood so it being forbade by Christianity makes no sense, also great story thanks for making my day less boring”

I don’t really get how I’m still getting comments about this one particular line in that chapter. I never said anything about what should or should not be forbade by Christianity. Lucy was simply trying to figure out Gwen’s reasons for being against incest, and she considered religious beliefs to be a possibility since, regardless of whether or not you think it makes sense, there are Christians out there who are against incest for religious reasons. Neither me, nor Lucy, nor Gwen said that should be the case. I hope that’s clear by now. Anyway, I’m glad I made your day less boring.

dippytrippy122: “Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Simply put this was the best romance-based fanfic I have ever read that wasn't just a humorous jab at the genre. You did so with a pairing I disliked due to its incestuous nature and actually made me enjoy it greatly. You also made sure that the ending wasn't perfect and I respect you immensely for that. Thank you for this wonderful story. :)”

Thanks! It’s always great to hear from people who enjoyed the story despite not liking the pairing. I think that means I did an okay job with recognizing the weirdness of it and not shying away from that.

xSean: “THATS WHERE YOU END IT?! Can't deny I'm a little annoyed with that but this fic was still great over all. The character development and interactions were absolutely superb. Wish there was more clueless, fluffy interactions but I guess they gotta grow up and realise what is happening at some point. Again great fic over all, one of the best I have read in a long time. Only the 2nd Ben 10 fic I've read too!”

Thank you! I’m sorry I couldn’t keep it going for another year or two, but I had to let it end before I ruined it, haha. The clueless, fluffy interactions were always a lot of fun, though. I loved that part of their relationship.

Samian: “Read through it in 2 days and some how I'm sad about that, the pace of your story should have made me slow down and push the ending further away. This was exactly the kind of development in their characters that I was looking for with in the Bwen fics. Beautifully done, really good job. That being said though there were some downsides, over the course of the story you took what made ben 10 what it is out of the story, which was a bit sad in my eyes. I do have to admit that you made it work though and I wouldn't change any of it. The ending is a bit of a letdown in the sense that there is a strong sense of anticipation of where it would have gone too. But again you some how made it work. You really did an incredible job.”

Thank you. I’m sorry to everyone who read this story expecting more alien fighting action, but even from my minimalistic description, “A story about how Ben and Gwen's relationship evolves over the next four years following their summer trip,” I think I made it clear that that simply wasn’t what the story was about. I’m happy you managed to enjoy it anyway!

Slayer of The Abyss: “I really liked how you gave the characters depth and Sense of being real people, the only thing that bothers me is how the thought process of different senteint species could be almost exactly the same, which isnt really your fault. But anyway i am looking forawrd to any potential fic you may write in the future”

Yeah, not much I could’ve done about that. If Lucy was too alien, she wouldn’t really have acted the way she did in the episode she appeared in.

MosquitoesLoveMe: “This story is adorable and you're a wizard at writing to make this happen! The fluff I've read till now has been heartwarming, I demand more fluff for the fluff gods!”

I, too, worship the fluff gods.

MosquitoesLoveMe: “Oh Lucy, you're about as subtle as a brick. Which says something about Ben and Gwen I suppose...“

Ben and Gwen: *oblivious to their love* Lucy:

MosquitoesLoveMe: “I am not sure how I feel about this. The lead up, the talk, and the execution was perfect mind you, and Ben's reaction is to be expected from how he's been portrayed. Maybe it's because we've seen Gwen struggle with her feelings and come to terms with them but we haven't had quite as many chapters from Ben's perspective. But because of that it kind of felt off. I didn't expect both of them to have sorted this out at the same time, but it doesn't even seem like Ben entertained that thought, leading to a blank face when confronted. Somehow I didn't expect that, or rather I expected more than that. Either way considering I'm reading this months after it's been completed, I shall have faith that you'll tie it up well, after all I haven't been disappointed thus far!”

It’s been a while, but I think around this point in the story, I was doing a lot less from Ben’s POV because I wanted the reader to be unsure about how Ben would react as much as Gwen was. As for whether or not Ben has entertained the idea, I’ve shown in the past that every time anything even close to resembling the idea pops into his head, he finds some way to dismiss it and bury it deeper because to him, his cousin was completely off-limits. It took Gwen confronting him with the idea directly to finally get him to truly consider it.

MosquitoesLoveMe: “It was a wonderful journey, thanks for writing this story! It was a pretty realistic end to the story and finished on a hopeful note, that leaves me wishing there was a sequel that goes into how Ben and Gwen handle the trials of their relationship and the adults finding out. That also made me really wish for a chapter from the perspective of Ben and Gwen's parents. Keeping with the trend of maintaining a realistic tone, it's hard to believe they did not at least suspect something was up, especially Natalie. It makes me really curious as to what went on in their heads during the last few chapters. Either way, whether or not you get back to this at a future date, I'm happy you wrote this story and glad I got to read it, cheers mate!”

Natalie was definitely getting suspicious. If I ever do continue the story, I probably will go more into what their parents are thinking. But that’ll be on the backburner for now. Thank you so much for reading my story! I’m happy you enjoyed it!

Well, that wasn’t all the comments, but that’s all I have time for right now. I’ll get to the rest eventually. Thanks again for everything! My fans are truly a joy to hear from.

let me try to remember my buffy/angel episode feelings as i rewatch because i have a bad memory -- one-two sentences per ep @ezrisdax @feelsandotps

I started at 1x12, skipped most of 1. Btw my faves are still Cordelia & Buffy, and my problematic fave is Spike, there it is. I felt like S3 was my fave, but I really appreciate the Spike in S4, so there’s that -- I think 4 has some great eps and 2 of course does as well.

SEASON 1

12. Prophecy Girl - Buffy dies, ouch, but Xander has a heroic moment (?), I think Buffy’s already depressed and it’s S1.

SEASON 2 1. When She Was Bad - See, Buffy’s already depressed and angry but everyone should cut her some slack SHE DIED, SHE’S TRYING. 2. Some Assembly Required - Oh I already forgot about this one, but it was fun because they tried to kill Cordelia and she was great and I adore Cordelia 3. School Hard - SPIKE is here and Spike/Dru are amazing. Also parent teacher night honestly Joyce&Buffy so far is ouch in general. 4. Inca Mummy Girl - This one’s the other kind of ouch like you did a pretty bad job with portraying people who aren’t white, come on. 5. Reptile Boy - Oh the one with the demons in the frat boy basement, nice team scenes, nice metaphor for the patriarchy (yeah I’ve been listening to Buffering the Vampire Slayer, did I mention that). 6. Halloween - Def a S2 favorite they all turn into their costumes Buffy’s helpless, Cordelia’s normal, Xander’s in the army, the whole Willow ghost thing, Spike’s there, it’s great. 7. Lie to Me - The one with the cult who wanted to be vamps. Not much memory of this one except like...the guy had cancer which was sad, not a fave. 8. The Dark Age - First Ripper stuff so that’s fun! 9 & 10. What’s My Line, Part 1/2 - Kendra! Angel tied to a cross! Spike! A fun plan where we save them as a Team. What’s not to like? 11. Ted - Ah, Joyce’s robot boyfriend. Odd, but memorable and like...really dark...when she gets arrested. 12. Bad Eggs Oh yeah, there’s like a monster under the school and everyone’s possessed. Joyce&Buffy is still ouch. 13. Surprise I like when Cordelia jumps out of the cake...but anyway...this is a good though PAINFUL arc, not a Bangel fan. 14. Innocence Ouch Angelus and sad Buffy, but they use a rocket launcher in a mall which is cool. 15. Phases Oz! I never realized he got bit by like his baby cousin? LOL. Touching arc in this ep though! 16. Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered Everyone loves Xander, I liked that there was a Cordy focus. 17. Passion OUCH. JENNY. 18. Killed by Death The kind of out-of-normal-context one where Buffy’s in the hospital with ghostly kids! Well done though, has Cordelia’s “tact is just not saying true stuff line” 19. I Only Have Eyes for You I was creeped out by the fact that it was a teacher student relationship and no one cared? Good writing though. 20. Go Fish Haha, Xander and the swim team. I like Cordelia’s monologue about Xander. 21. Becoming, Part 1/2 KENDRA :( BUFFY :( Oh also some great Spike scenes (with Joyce). And of course the ENNNND ouchhh. I’m not fine.

S2 Faves: Halloween, School Hard, Becoming, Passion (ouch!)

SEASON 3 1. Anne - BUFFYS DEPRESSED SOME ONE HELP HER 2. Dead Man’s Party - BUFFY’S DEPRESSED STOP BEING MEAN TO HER 3. Faith, Hope and Trick - Hi, Faith. Didn’t like Faith as much last time, she’s grown on me. 4. Beauty and the Beasts - Another good expansion of Oz’s arc and some Bangel emotions. 5. Homecoming - GREAT I love Buffy and Cordelia and they are together and it’s amazing. Cordelia’s speech at the end is quality. 6. Band Candy - GREAT I mean Joyce and Giles and Snyder as teens it’s so funny and well-paced, nice. 7. Revelations -- This one has an evil British watcher and Xander/Willow (plus Xander being kind of a jerk), not a fave. 8. Lovers Walk -- GREAT. Painful ending. Love Spike & Willow. GREAT. SPIKE/BUFFY/ANGEL WORKING TOGETHER I LOVE THIS. 9. The Wish - GREAT. Ouch. Alt!Buffy. NICE. 10. Amends -- Like, Angel’s past is kind of awful? Give me Angel-the-show dorky Angel please! 11. Gingerbread -- Haha the one where the Sunnydale people try to kill witches I mean again @Joyce&Buffy, ???? not the greatest relationship ??? 12. Helpless GREAT OUCH GREAT...the Watcher’s Council tests Buffy, GILE’S DILEMA, BUFFYS BETRAYAL ouch 13. The Zeppo I mean I like Xander’s arc about believing in himself more, despite him not being great all the time, I still like him overall, glad he got a chance to shine. 14. Bad Girls Faith stop corrupting Buffy! This show has more like very heavily implied Faith/Buffy than I remembered. OUCH @ the ending. 15. Consequences OUCH @ the whole episode with Faith, especially the Xander bit, rougher than I remembered 16. Doppelgangland VAMP!Willow. Willow trying to be vamp!Willow was funny. Another one where I remember good team stuff. 17. Enemies OUCH I totally forgot and thought Angel was really Angelus. Heartbreaking and well done. 18. Earshot I love this one! Jonathan! “Are you planning on killing anyone tomorrow? It’s for the yearbook.” 19. Choices Everyone should let Buffy live basically! 20. The Prom Xander/Cordelia is nice, but isn’t Xander poor? Wesley/Cordelia is creepy? WILD HORSES. BUT YEAH THE UMBRELLA AND I CRY. 21. Graduation Day, Part 1/2 I LOVE THE WHOLE SCHOOL COMING TOGETHER NICE NICE

S3 Faves: Homecoming, Band Candy, Lover’s Walk, the Wish, Helpless, Earshot, Prom, Graduation Day...and a few more I also like a lot, that’s why I really like this season

SEASON 4

1. The Freshman - Buffy's having a hard time in college someone help her! 2. Living Conditions - Buffy’s roommate is a demon, a bit overdone but pretty fun! 3. The Harsh Light of Day - Like the Spike/Buffy banter is great but Parker is awful and honestly Spike is awful too, some of the end fight scene comments are BAD. Also Spike should treat Harmony better. 4. Fear, Itself - Haunted house fears, nice Halloween ep. 5. Beer Bad - I honestly like drunk!Buffy it’s fun! 6. Wild at Heart - Ouch, Oz & Willow OUCH. 7. The Initiative - Buffy/Riley really had a whole fight and didn’t recognize each other? Still I don’t hate Riley so far. 8. Pangs - Look there were some problematic things but I thought the dialogue and episode arc was SO well done and so funny. And they made an attempt to address something, they did a bad job but they tried. Team!Thanksgiving is <3 and perfectionist!Buffy and Spike tied to a chair, Xander/Anya etc. etc. lots of good stuff, I think it’s still a s4 favorite. 9. Something Blue - Ah, cursed!engaged Spuffy NICE.

SEASON 1 ANGEL

1. City Of Look I LOVE ANGEL tbh just the opening and the noir tone and CORDELIA it’s great it’s nice AND DORKY angel and cordelia knows the guys a vamp it’s great! DOYLE.

2. Lonely Heart I don’t love Kate and this demon was weirdly like an STD as well.

3. In the Dark Cordy/Doyle got to feature, and Spike. Not really sure why Angel destroyed the thing (makes him more tortured?)

4. I Fall to Pieces That was actually a pretty creepy stalking episode. Well done bringing attention to how violence against women can be overlooked.

5. Rm w/ a Vu Love this one! CORDELIA IS AMAZING. CORDELIA. IS AMAZING. Dennis is nice too!

6. Sense & Sensitivity I love dorky!Angel, I love when dorky!Angel has to speak his feelings! Poor Kate!

7. Bachelor Party Doyle/Cordy were so close! Definitely a fun one with everyone working together. I’m just having a lot of Angel&Cordy&Doyle feelings

8. I Will Remember You Look I skipped this one for now tbh, I’m just not in a Bangel mood, haha.

So yeah I looked up the next episode and...I thought that was the S1 finale?? That’s...ouch.

ever crush on a teacher: Yes. A professor i had in graduate school. Very original, i know lol.

coolest halloween costume: I dressed up as Angela Chase from My So-Called Life several years ago for a costume party in LA. It was basically a pretty detailed cosplay with everything from the hair right down to the like, flannel tied around my waist and the red Doc Martens (I rarely dress up so when I do I go all out lol). Anyway, most people didn’t know who Angela Chase was, so they just assumed that was how I looked and accepted me for who I was lmao. I was surprised! But it was a hilarious night.

Favorite 90’s tv show: Lol, see above? I love My So-Called Life. But actually I love A LOT of 90s TV shows. Most of my favorite shows are from the 90s. Buffy, Party of Five, Dawson’s Creek, The X-Files. Just keep going.

last kiss: My kid, and my hubs.

have you ever been stood up: No? Idk I’ve never actually dated. I was typically a serial monogamist all through high school and college. I was the girl who always had a boyfriend.

favorite pair of shoes: Birks. I have two pairs I love them. But in the winter I love my red Doc Martens (same ones I wore for Halloween lol) and also these neat Jeffrey Campbell sneakers with like, crazy gold metal spikes and lions heads all over them. I splurged on them several years back and they’ve been totally worth it lol.

have you ever been to vegas: Yes, several times. My husband used to go a lot, and whenever he goes, he gambles quite a bit? Lmao you wonder where I get my Solas inspiration. Anyway, he’s spent a lot of money at a couple of the casinos in particular, so we get comped rooms during several off-season times of the year? We’ve only used them once, but it’s SO FUN. I love Vegas. SO MUCH.

favorite fruit: Apples (Honeycrisp!!)

favorite book: Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry, The Road by Cormac McCarthy, Tender Morsels by Margo Lanagan

stupidest thing you’ve ever done: Uhhhhhhhhhh. I am not much of a risk-taker but once in grad school I did something that takes the cake. Let’s just say it involved...being somewhere we were not supposed to be. (We didn’t like steal anything and nobody was hurt lol, but it was just fucking dumb.)

all time favorite shows: The Sopranos, Twin Peaks, Twin Peaks: The Return, The X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, Gilmore Girls

last movie you saw in theaters: hhahahahahahha. Idk. I honestly think it was American Sniper when I was about six months pregnant. We never go to movies. The last movie we watched overall was Ladybird and it was imperfect in every way but it messed both of us up for different reasons, so there’s that lol.

tags for @thevikingwoman @buttsonthebeach @sasshole-for-rent @solverne @idrelle-miocovani @wrenbee @ladylike-foxes @kaoruyogi @redinkofshame @bearly-tolerable

Best Horror Movies on Hulu

https://ift.tt/2S3LdWt

Editor’s Note: This post is updated regularly. Bookmark this page and come back often to see the additions to the best horror movies on Hulu.

Updated for September 2020

Horror can come from anywhere: an unfamiliar European hostel, a remote sleepaway camp in the woods or even just in the comfy confines of the human brain. Every now and then it can be fun to reconnect with that child-like portion of our minds that is truly susceptible to irrational fear. The best way is to merely just hear a good scary story.

But perhaps the best place to find horror is on your friendly neighborhood Hulu. Hulu is best known for its TV comedy offerings but that doesn’t mean it’s lacking in pure terror.

Here is your list of the best horror movies on Hulu.

The Lodge

Directed by Austrian filmmakers Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala (the harrowing Goodnight Mommy), The Lodge stars an excellent Riley Keough as Grace, a troubled young woman in love with Richard (Richard Madden) a journalist who wrote a book about the suicide cult she once belonged to and is the only survivor of. Their relationship triggers Richard’s estranged wife (Alicia Silverstone) to commit suicide, leaving the former couple’s two children devastated.

Six months later, Richard, Grace and the children head up to Richard’s remote winter lodge in an effort for all of them to heal. But a series of unexplained events occur that may be tied to Grace’s past or the death of the children’s mother — or both. The Lodge may stumble occasionally through some shaky plot turns, but the movie positively reeks with dread and leads to a thoroughly unsettling finish.

Wounds

Based on a novella called The Visible Filth by acclaimed horror writer Nathan Ballingrud, this Hulu original stars Armie Hammer as Will, a New Orleans bartender whose discovery of an abandoned mobile phone in his place of business portends the arrival of an unspeakable evil.

British-Iranian director Babek Anvari, who made 2016’s supremely eerie Under the Shadow, creates an atmosphere of extreme dread and rot here, from the cockroaches Will is constantly killing behind the bar to the frightening images and sounds that keep appearing on the phone he finds. Much is left unexplained but that’s kind of the point: horror is often most effective when it can’t be rationalized.

Black Rock

Directed by Katie Aselton from a screenplay written by her husband, The Morning Show Emmy nominee Mark Duplass, Black Rock is a tense tale of three childhood friends whose attempts to reconnect as adults on a remote weekend retreat are thwarted by two men seeking vengeance over an accident.

Movies

The 20 Best Horror Movies on Netflix UK – Scary Films to Watch Right Now

By Rosie Fletcher

Best Horror TV Shows on Hulu

By Alec Bojalad

It’s a somewhat generic story elevated by the performances of Aselton herself, Kate Bosworth, and especially Lake Bell who goes full feral in the often brutal fight for survival. The movie benefits from the presence of all three women even if the scenario itself is one we’ve seen countless times before.

Ghost Stories

It’s rare for a horror film to be adapted from a play, but that’s the case for this anthology-style film written and directed by Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman, who also penned the stage show. Nyman stars as well as Philip Goodman, a professor who devotes his career to debunking the paranormal.

His mission is put to the test in the three stories presented within the film’s framework, which feature Martin Freeman (Black Panther), Paul Whitehouse and Alex Lawther as two men and a boy who come up against various spirits and even supposedly the Devil. Can Goodman prove them wrong even as reality itself seemingly begins to crumble around him? Find the answer by watching this acclaimed pic.

Friday the 13th Part 3

Not only was this 1982 slasher classic the first (and, to date, only) in the Friday the 13th series to be shown in 3D, it was also the movie in which unstoppable killer Jason Voorhees (Richard Brooker) donned his trademark hockey mask for the first time — creating one of horror’s most iconic images.

The plot finds another group of hapless teens venturing too close to the grounds of Camp Crystal Lake and falling prey to the hulking killing machine, who dispatches them in increasingly inventive and gruesome ways. That’s really all you get — and if you were lucky enough to see the movie in theaters, you got it in 3D. But you could do far worse (like, say, most of the succeeding entries in the franchise) if you’re looking to waste some time with a slasher flick.

Anna and the Apocalypse

The term “zombie musical” isn’t one you see thrown around very much, so this 2017 British feature might well have the genre all to itself. The cast of mostly unknown young actors, led by Ella Hunt in a star turn as Anna, sing, dance and fight their way through the title event — at Christmastime, no less.

Based on a short film by the late Ryan McHenry, the heartfelt Anna and the Apocalypse cites its influences as horror staples like The Evil Dead and Night of the Living Dead as well as classic musicals such as West Side Story, The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the “Once More, with Feeling” episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Midnighters

Midnighters is an excellent, tension-packed debut for screenwriter Alston Ramsay (who is also a former speechwriter for the Pentagon, weirdly).

Directed by Ramsay’s brother, Julius, Midnighters tells the story of a cover-up that becomes far more stressful than the crime. On New Year’s Eve, a struggling married couple strikes a pedestrian with their car. They opt to do the right thing and call the police. Lol/jk they opt to cover the crime and in the process begin a cycle of deceit, distrust, and madness.

Midnighters owes a lot of its success to Hitchcock, but then again – doesn’t virtually every thriller?

Mom and Dad

2017’s Mom and Dad has about the simplest and most terrifying premise one can imagine. You know your mom and dad – those two people who are supposed to support you through thick and thin? What if they…weren’t like that? What if they would stop and nothing to kill you?

A Quiet Place, and Using Low Budgets to Electrifying Effect

That’s what young Carly and Josh Ryan experience one day when one day some unexplained static starts transmitting through they television and suddenly their loving parents desperately want to kill them. Mom and Dad would be unsettling enough with any cast, but having Nicolas Cage and Selma Blair portray the unhinged parents is just icing on the cake.

Overlord

War is terrifying enough as is. It doesn’t need the addition of Nazi super soldier zombies. Thankfully the J.J. Abrams-produced Overlord decided to include them anyway.

Overlord picks up on the eve of D-Day when a paratrooper quad is sent in behind enemy lines to destroy a German radio tower located in an old church. Their plane is shot down and only a handful survivors land. Those who do will soon discover that the horror has just begun.

Children of the Corn

Fun fact: Children of the Corn has eight sequels. Eight! That’s one big drawback of the horror genre. It’s so difficult to come up with an equally original and scary idea that once something sticks, it’s financially prudent to run it into the ground.

The Cabin in the Woods

A remote cabin in the woods is one of the most frequently occurring settings in all of horror. What better location for teenagers to be tormented by monsters, demons, or murderous hillbillies? Writer/Director Joss Whedon takes that tried and true setting and uses it as a jumping off points for one of the most successful metatextual horror movies in recent memory.

No worries! Life happens and it’s fairly busy time of year. I’m just happy to hear from you! Though I’m sorry you’ve been feeling poorly! It’s been a brutal flu season.

But yes, agreed, it does really seem like Bardugo had a specific outcome in mind and didn’t really stop to take into account whether that really served the story being told. She’s talked a lot about being a plotter, and starting with a skeleton draft. And while I think plotting has a lot of benefits, that sort of inflexibility is one of its more common pitfalls. Setting out like of course xyz plot point has to happen, because that was always part of the road map!

I don’t think there’s even anything particularly wrong with being wedded to a plot point or ending and not being willing to compromise on it. But at a certain point you have to reconcile what exists on the page and your vision. And Bardugo definitely tried— like I do really respect how much she managed to course correct Mal’s characterization lol, I had no patience for him in S&S but somehow through R&R he’s likeable— but the end result is still just kind of half baked and disjointed. Anyway idk if you’ve heard of “kill your darlings” as writing advice but it feels sooo applicable here.

Semi tangentially, I finally finished Buffy the Vampire Slayer recently (in the year of our lord 2022 lmao) and despite the wildly different genre and face value plot, the ending really struck me as similar to R&R on a thematic level? But somewhat more successful? Like the very concept of “lonely chosen one, whose destiny has always been a burden, distributes her power among other people and is finally given the opportunity to exit the narrative” feels so similar to me. And watching it, I was thinking that that was probably the effect Bardugo was intending. But I think she just never fully got across that Alina’s in-universe main character syndrome was fully a burden or that she’d be better off leaving. Again we’re told that time and again, but it just ends up feeling like she’s trying to convince herself of that/generally holding herself back by this belief. Discontent and disappointment as a reader aside, I find it incredibly interesting on a writing craft level.

But yes fanfiction! Retconning is honestly such a useful tool lol. Sometimes you just need a character to be in a very different state and it would be extraneous to go back and show exactly how it happened.

Yesss very much two cakes. And frankly we don’t have much Nikolina fic anyway, so anything is a novelty. And them picking up the pieces together is just such good material.

I love that excerpt! The banter is very sweet. I love the balance between him reassuring her and trying to cheer her up with humor.

And truly, Alina does define herself through other people for so much of the series/her entire life. The Darkling dictates the plot and constantly forced her into making choices and essentially just to act as his antithesis because him winning is so abhorrent, meanwhile Mal dictates her identity and what she’s allowed to want for herself. So her grappling with who she even is and what choices she wants to make without these things to confine her is a very compelling topic!

Also potentially silly question but I’ve never done a word prompt fic format like that, though I’ve seen many on AO3, do you usually go off a prompt list or choose them yourself?

Re: my own fic, well I very much need to catch up on writing it lol. You haven’t missed much tbh! Maybe two or three chapters? I’ve been slow, I had to write a lot (a lot for me anyway) for various fic exchanges this year so I haven’t made as much progress. I did hit 60k words tho o.o

And I’d say I’ve partially fixed the problem, and partially kicked the can further down the road! I’ve had their general relationship trajectory down from the start, but figuring out the more minute tension and resolution in between key moments to keep things dynamic has been the tricky part. And just making sure that everything’s cohesive. To that effect I think I’ve figured out the next chapter (there’s just the tricky business of writing it lmao) but the one after that is still very much up in the air lol

@goblins-riddles-or-frocks replied to your post:Sunday Snippet

I love this!! I think my favorite take on these two is just throwing them together post r&r and seeing how they claw their way out of their respective traumas. and idk second choice romance is so poignant to me.

I love what a gut punch it is for her to say “I thought I was” there. where do you even go from that! especially after already getting married, and the nature of royalty being what it is I get not knowing how to resolve it tho, I’m stalling on pretty much the same issue myself alas

Ahhh, thank you!! I love the dynamic between these two, and doubly so during and post R&R. They have #CompatibleTraumas, and I think it’s a lot of fun to explore the ways the characters’ traumas and emotional needs interact—both for better and for worse.

And yes to your statement about second choice/second chance romances!

IMO, even more than her feelings for Mal or the Darkling, the main obstacle to canon Nikolai/Alina is that canon!Alina is unsuited for life as a political figure. From a Doylist perspective, this unsuitability boils down to Bardugo’s desire to have Alina end her story by returning to Keramzin with Mal at her side—an ending that wouldn’t work anymore if Alina was allowed to fully grow into her leadership role.

I think you’re the person I’ve discussed this with before, but while I understand what Bardugo was trying to narratively achieve, and I don’t wholly disagree with it, it still frustrates me to see Alina start to reach her potential, only to repeatedly have it cut off and watch her start from scratch over and over again. I’ll freely admit that this is a matter of personal preference as much as it is objective critique!

I’m sure a thousand metas have been written about how Alina’s different love interests symbolize different parts of herself and different paths she could have taken, but it always hits me anew each time I think about her canonical relationships.

ANYWAY.

I feel like Nikolai could respond to Alina’s accusations by retreating behind his ‘perfect prince’ veneer, or he could be emotionally open with her, as he has been in the past. Likewise, I can see Alina either retreating from him or having a real conversation with him. Despite the rocky start to their acquaintance, the two of them have been pretty low-drama together when it comes to the personal stuff!

Yeah, the nature of royalty means divorce or even an official separation aren’t really options—especially not without the existence of an heir and a spare!—which would only make Alina feel more trapped. That said, I can see Alina going on a PR tour/diplomatic trip/secret mission by herself (albeit accompanied by guards/friends) as a solution of sorts, as that would temporarily give her space from Nikolai, the palace, and her ordinary duties. Likewise, I think it would help Alina if she did more work with the common people, as that’s something that feeds her soul in the same way working with the nobility drains her.

The role of queen can’t be completely changed without creating problems for the Lantsov reign, especially since Nikolai came to the throne under the circumstances he did, but I think Alina and he could get away with tweaking it some. Alina’s sainthood would aid them in this, as it lets conservatives write her off as the exception rather than the rule, while also gradually accustoming everyone to a different type of queenship.

That said, I think my resolution might simply be adding Zoya into the mix (and potentially moving the entire scene into my WIP Nikolai/Zoya/Alina fic).

Zoya tosses her dark, glossy curls back. “Self-pity isn’t a good look on you, Starkov.”

“Self-pity?”

“None of us forced you to stay; no one forced you to marry Nikolai. This was your choice. And now you want to quit because, what, it’s too hard?” She sniffs derisively. “If you’re going to run away, do it now before you’ve established yourself any further. I’m sure someone will step up to fill your place.”

Alina sputters, furious. “I—I’m not running away.”

Even if I wanted to, I have nowhere left to go.

“If you say so.” Her tone is infuriatingly, airily dismissive. “But then, that’s your modus operandi, isn’t it? Running away when things get too real?”

“I’m not a coward,” Alina spits back.

Zoya smiles, all teeth and disdain. “Then prove it.”

Buffy episodes 7 - 9

I’m going tt actually have time to watch this dumb show today b/c the house is empty. Praise the lord.

Episode 7 Lie to Me... or as the font on the dvd menu looks “Lie to Die”

Spike’s girlfriend is being creepy to a kid. She’s the best. What is her name? Pricscilla? I don’t even remember. Angel to the rescue! He’s trying to save his kids.

Ms Calendar and Giles are going on a date and they’re so cute. He’s like “I don’t do surprises. What would I wear?”

Now everyone’s in the BAngel camp, even Giles.

“Marie Antoinette careda bout them. They were going to let them have cake!” No Cordelia, she was not.

Xander is so insensitive.

“That’s Angel, Buffy’s special friend.” Xander

“Is he at school? He looks older.” Ford

Xander “YOU’RE NOT WRONG!”

Ford comes over after she kills a vampire and is like “Hey, what’s up?”

Angel’s jealous. He’s also wearing some wicked Lipstick this episode. Willow is also wearing makeup to bed. Teens, am I right?

“Ms Calendar and I are going ... someplace. Here is the number of her... beeper... thing... in case you need me.” Giles is adorable.

Did Xander just call Willow a cow?

They went to a vampire bar. “These people are making up stories about friendly vampires to comfort themselves in the dark.” Then a guy dressed exactly like Angel comes down the stairs. That’s great.

Druscilla then. We know an awful lot about people’s private lives. This ep is a lot of worldbuilding.

“I’ve known you for two minutes and I can’t stand you, I can’t really feature you living forever.” Spike is the best.

“Who is Druscilla? And stop lying to me, I’m tired of it.” Good job Buffy!

“I love you, but I’m not sure if I trust you.” Buffy’s on fire today.

“Thats’ up to me to descide!” GOOD JOB

Wow, Angel...

Ford “Hey Buffy! I had a good time last night.” He says in the most evil way possible.

Buffy’s being way perceptive but not perceptive enough to avoid a trap.

“You are playing in some serious traffic here” that’s a great line.

“You look like a big ninny.” Who are you, Dr. Smith?

I’m glad she explained the demon aspect to Ford. He’s got plot cancer though and will die in six months, so he thinks it’s okay to kill lots of people. He thinks because he has a headache it invalidates right and wrong. “I don’t have a choice.”

“You do have a choice. It’s not a good choice, but you have it.” Buffy is ON FIRE.

And everyone gets mercilessly eaten... or not. Ugh I thought this show had teeth for a moment :(

No! Buffy! Why didn’t you stake her? She’s evil and her life is torment. I mean I want her around b/c she’s great, but the door was gonna lock behind you, just stake her and go.

Ford “Well? What about my reward?”

“You mean dying pretty? Coming right up.”

This episode is trying to be mature, not in its behaviors but in its thinking. Punctuated by the talk Buffy and Giles have at the end. Then Ford comes back to life and she stakes him in one second before continuing their conversation like nothing happened. This is a statement moment for the show, yes. Also that might be my favorite minute and a half of the show so far. Buffy asks Giles for a nice lie, and he describes what the show potentially could be, but because he frames it as a lie he’s letting everyone know this is changing into a different kind of show. Stakes are raised (literally for the joke, emotionally for the show) and there will be real danger, but there’s humor as well. This ep was a little odd but did mark a tone shift from what I’ve seen so far. On to the next.

Ep 8: The Dark Age

No cold open on this one.

“I need to see Giles.”

“Giles is our librarian. Next building over first door on your left.”

Also it’s 3am and he’s probably at home.

Cut from death to jazzercize. What a transition. All my faves never like dance music. :(

I love Ms Calendar and Giles, but she’s kind of mean to him. Now she’s propositioning him for sex. Getting a weird vibe on her? “Let’s see if I can make you squirm.” Giles: SQUIRMING RIGHT NOW THANK YOU.

And Giles is met by lady cop. Morgue guy isn’t very sensitive when Giles is here to identify a body.

Oh no Phillip has the mark of thorn! Or it’s on his arm so I guess it’s the mark of voldamort?

Blood shipment bust. Angel comes to help. She’s like “You want to make sure the hospital gets the rest?” Angel has a look on his face like “You want me to starve”

Poor Giles is having a hard time. He has to call next of kin? Dierdre we already know is dead b/c the beginning. AW, he’s gonna cry! Oh Giles. All your friends are dying in a hurry. And he’s drinking now too. We know Ethan has a stupid magic curiosity shop, I guess we have to chase him down.

GILES ALSO IS A DEATH EATER.

He washes his face and looks up into the mirror without glasses and it’s like ...

Xander you continue to be the worst thing in the world.

Cordelia “He seemed perfectly normal yesterday when I saw him talking to the police. Something about a homicide?”

Costume guy has returned as he promised. I’m surprised it was so soon

Omg Giles and friends summoned a demon.

ETHAN PUT BUFFY BETWEEN HIM AND PHILLIP what a snake! Although it’s probably the safest course of action, she’s a monster and the zombie is after her. It’s very convenient they have a cage in the library. They use it a lot.

“You put these people in danger. People I care about.”

Guess that cage isn’t as good at being a cage as it should be. It’s good that he didn’t melt on the books I guess.

Giles is like “Lean on me.” and I’m like “Too bad she’s probably evil now.... yeah she’s got a demon in her.”

Giles is sans glasses and wild.

“How do you feel about digging through Giles’ personal files?”

“I feel pretty good about it. Does that make me a sociopath?”

omg Xander knows he’s the worst? And he doesn’t care that he’s the worst. He’s the worst.

Temporary host turn to permanent vessel. Ms Calendar rips the phone out the wall. “You can take advantage of me in my weakened state.” Then she tries to force him. She says “You are like a woman Rupert.” I hate this show.

The demon talking out of Jenny’s body is a nice touch. Giles is gonna lose all his friends AND his girlfriend.

Ms Calendar jumps out the window... it really was the mark of thorn.

Giles “I’m sorry.”

Buffy “Don’t be sorry, be Giles.”

omg Giles was a rockstar :) Studying history at oxford and the occult by night. Summoning demons for a high.

“I don’t know how to stop it without killing Jenny.” he says, nearly sobbing. Poor broken babydoll. I love how much Buffy loves him, although “I’m sorry”/”I know” lacks that little reassurance he would probably like.

Uhoh Buffy’s getting a tat!

Willow is still the best.

Buffy is insanely lucky there was that exposed screw on the bottom of that table. i’m sorry the demon didn’t kill Ethan anyway. If removing the tattoo solves the problem why didn’t everyone get tattoo removal?

ANGEL CAME IN WITHOUT BEING INVITED.

He also absorbed a demon. This is probably bad.

Or not? Angel’s demon is apparently a kickboxer. Makes it easy!

“Now I have to blow my entire allowance to get this tattoo removed.” she says, wearing a backless shirt.

Jenny’s gonna break up with him. Like, you were a technomage in a previous ep Calendar. It’s okay that she’s traumatized though, not saying it’s not. Anyone would be. I’m just saying that blaming Giles is not really fair.

Buffy “I’m so used to you being the grownup, but then I found out you were a person.”

Giles “Most grownups are.”

Episode 9 What’s My Line Prt 1

So Drusilla is sick? Her madness?

“It looks like latin but it’s not latin. It’s not even a language.”

“Then MAKE it a language!”

Spike I don’t think that’s how writing works lol.

Angel’s standing tehre in Buffy’s house (not invited) holding Gordo the Pig so cute b/c he looks scared. Buffy’s like “You okay?” and I’m like “No, I had a demon fight in my head and it’s been kinda rough.”

“We could be normal kids.”

“I’ll never be a kid.”

“Okay, a normal kid and her creepy cradle robbing boyfriend.”

Xander’s assigned to be a prison guard. I can see that. He’ll make good money sitting around being unhappy and low-key rude to everyone.

She’s crying for help, Giles. Be a councilor.

Spike is calling in the Order of Bullshit to kill Buffy. Cant’ wait.

Xander stop insulting Snyder. He’s ferengi. He’ll embezzle you to death.

“You’re worthless, Harris. Everything that comes out of your mouth its a toxic event.” Wow. Snyder. My man. You read Xander like a queen. You and me, Quark, you and me.

Willow apparently scored the Stark internship. Cue meetcute with Joker.

Buffy’s pissed that she was picked to be a cop. Then GIles points out that being a cop woudl be a good gig for her. She’s pissed but... yeah... Dresden that nonsense up.

Norman Fister with beautiful skin care.

Buffy’s skating and when the vampire picks her up by the neck she puts her feet straight in the air. So much core strength!!! Figure skate to the throat!

People need to tell Buffy what’s going on. None of this “Get out of here and hide while I take care of it.”

Okay the “I didn’t even notice” thing was super cute. This is the kinda stuff that will turn me into a BAngel.

Omg Fister was a meal worm man.

Buffy goes and curls up in Angel’s bed. Its sad and cute. Life’s hard as a slayer.

Angel doesn’t need to shake this yahoo for information. Idiots know that Spike got this assassin after Buffy. Oh he’s doing this so they can have a fight in this restaurant set. I dig this chick vampire’s Jamaican accent although I suspect it’s not authentic.

Xander and Cordelia are hanging out a lot.

Women are apparently weak for free skin product.

Chick fight means you use your fingernails? At least scratch out her eyes.

She is Kendra the Vampire Slayer!

omg cliffhanger :) Gonna have to come back later for this one.
