hi lovely i have a little writing idea for you; reader is rushed to muggle hospital with appendicitis, fred is told and he apparates to be by her side, he panics when he sees she's unconscious and crys to mrs weasley about how he can't lose her (reader and fred can either be together or not)

the bestfriendverse; the one with the muggle hospital. you have your appendix removed. fred frets, and you drop some truth bombs.

warnings; fem!reader, hospital talk, pining, yearning (bring back yearning men!!!), no established relationship, idiots in love <3

Your mother has stepped out of the room in voyage of a cup of tea when Fred apparates in. You’re dozing, halfway between sleep and consciousness, lulled further into the pillows by Molly’s thumb stroking circles into the back of your hand.

The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor does little to soothe the frantic redhead, and his warbling voice has your heart ticking up, head tilting towards the sound. Molly’s free hand moves up to your jaw, pinching the skin affectionately as you grumble and stretch.

You catch snippets of the conversation, half-sentences that mash and jumble together in your sleep addled mind; the only thing that rouses you is the utter panic in Fred’s voice.

“I can’t- I can’t lose her, mum. She can’t leave me.”

“She’s not going anywhere, darling. She’ll be okay.”

Peeling your eyes open takes more effort than you’d care to admit. Your brain is all fogged up like a car windshield on an icy morning, but you instinctually reach for Fred anyway.

“Why would I be leaving you?” you murmur, brow pinching.

He takes your hand eagerly when you offer it, dropping into a crouch by your side. You stroke his cheek; if he’s surprised, he hides it very well. You’ve never been so outright with your affections.

“You’re not, angel,” he coos his agreement. You seem pleased even when your stomach throbs and you turn onto your back in an effort to evade the sting.

You frown and cock your head, eyes soft. “Would you like to know a secret?”

Fred snorts. Pain medicine makes you very polite. “Of course I would.”

“I love you very, very much, Freddie,” you whisper, curling closer to him. “And I don’t want to leave you.”

“I love you very, very much too, lovely girl,” he says. Your eyes clear, baring something raw and all too real beneath your glassy expression. Fred blinks and it’s gone, replaced by the same vacancy you’ve had since you’ve woken up. You dissolve into giggles.

“I’m appendix-less, Freddie.”

The joke is so silly Fred can’t help but tuck you up small underneath him for a squeezing cuddle. His arms ebb and drag over your arms, chest rumbling lowly against your smushed cheek.

“You are indeed, angel.”

“Do you think I can come home soon?” you sigh, squeezing at his ribs until he bends lower, covering more of your body with his own. “I don’t really like it here. And I miss you and Georgie. And I miss your mum.”

“I’m right here, dearie,” Molly chuckles. Your eyes bulge comically and you squeal, excited all over again.

“Thank Godric! I was going to come looking for you, otherwise, Mrs Weasley.”

You haven’t called her that in years. Fred kisses the top of your head. Just as he thought, you’re extra polite today.

“Georgie’s outside if you’d like to talk to him,” Fred says. “I just wanted you to myself first.”

You snort, smacking a wet kiss to his jaw. “You can have me to yourself whenever you want. Just ‘cos I love you.”

Fred feels his mother’s eyes pointedly burning a hole through his skull. Yeah, he thinks, I bloody know.

He needs to make a move, he knows that. It’s just so hard when you’re gazing up at him, all soft and sweet like he’s the only person in the whole world. Loving you is easy. It’s the threat of losing you that threatens to tilt his entire world on its axis.

“George’s here?” you mumble, eyes heavy. You’re fading, though still chipper as ever asking after your second bestest friend.

“Yeah, he is, angel,” Fred coos. “Why don’t you lay down and I’ll go and get him, yeah?”

You whine. “Don’t go far please.”

“I won’t, lovie.”

George tumbles to your side, eyes wrinkled with a grin as you yawn and open your arms for a cwtch.

“Hello, Georgie!”

“Hey, sunshine.” He mirrors your enthusiasm beat for beat. “How are you feeling?”

Your breath stutters in a funny sort of way before you sink into the pillows with a huff. Your eyes droop.

“I’d like to go home now, Georgie. Will you help me escape?”

“How could I say no to that?”

Fred clicks his tongue, faux seriousness clinging to every word. “Now, now. You need to stay a bit longer. They’ll discharge you at the end of the day.”

“Fred!” you and George groan synonymously.

He only rolls his eyes, sandwiching you snugly between the pair of lanky boys. “You love me, remember?”

“Very, very much, yes.”

I KNEW IT ౨ৎ ⋆ ｡˚ georgie cooper x reader

word count: 1.1k || masterlist

summary: georgie confesses his feelings on the swingset

author's note: if he needs a dog i can bark. (takes place in early season five ish + doesn't follow the plot cause i can't be bothered to rewrite this)

knock. knock. knock.

you waited outside of the cooper house, hands in your pockets. a few moments later, a young boy opened the door. he looked you up and down.

"um, hi! is georgie cooper here?" you asked, smiling at the boy.

he stared at you, before turning his head to the side. "georgie, theres a girl at the door looking for you," he called.

"a girl?" you heard a woman gasp.

georgie rushed into view, shoving the boy behind him. "hey, let's go!" he said quickly. the second he stepped a foot onto the porch, a woman came up behind him, putting a hand on his shoulder. he groaned.

"georgie," the woman smiled warningly, staring at him.

george shrugged her hand off and moved to stand next to you. "mom, this is y/n," he mumbled. "y/n, this is my mother."

"hi," you smiled, reaching out a hand to shake.

"well hello there," she replied. "you, uh, one of georgie's friends from school?"

"yes ma'am." you nodded. "we have math together."

the young boy poked his head out from behind his mother. "i'm in that class too."

"shut up, sheldon," georgie snapped. you swatted his arm.

"georgie, be nice," you scolded. he rubbed his arm, mockingly repeating your words.

"where are y'all off to?" mrs. cooper asked. she raised an eyebrow at her son.

georgie huffed. "mom. i'm seventeen, i dont nee—"

he was cut off by a piercing glare from his mother.

he groaned. "the park, now can we go?" he grabbed your hand, turning to leave. it felt like a swarm of butterflies were just released in your stomach. mrs. cooper cleared her throat.

you laughed and pulled georgie back. "the park just down the road from the elementary school, mrs. cooper."

she beamed at your politeness. "i like her," she told georgie, who's face flushed. "right, now, georgie, you make sure to walk this nice young lady home, alright?"

"i know, mom," georgie whined. "can we go?"

"fine," she said, huffing.

georgie grinned and started dragging you away, yelling out a "bye" over his shoulder.

you looked back and called, "bye, mrs. cooper! it was nice meeting you!"

᭝☆

as you and georgie walked to the park, he made it a point to always walk on the road side of the sidewalk. the two of you talked and talked, about school and work and movies and more, until you couldn't think of anything else to talk about. usually, you would've called into a comfortable silence, but today was different. it was too quiet, too tense. it was obvious there was something lingering between the two of you. as you walked, your hands kept brushing against each other, and you had to stop yourself from intertwining your hands.

the sun was setting as the two of you made it to the park, a slight chill settling into the air.

he sat down on the swing next to you, turning his head. light from the fading sun caught his eyes, turning their brown hue into a shimmering gold.

"so..." georgie started.

"so..." you replied, turning to look at him. your gaze flicked down to his lips and you looked away quickly. "that test in math was so hard. i definitely bombed it."

"right? i just put a/c/d/c for all the answer choices," georgie complained.

"like the band?" you laughed, toeing your shoe in the dirt under the swing.

"yeah, like the band," he chuckled. "either i put acdc or i just straight up didn't answer the questions."

you snorted. "im not surprised."

he put his hands up in defense. "hey, we already have a sheldon. don't need another smartass."

you rolled you eyes at your friend. "you could at least try," you said.

he hummed noncommittally in response. you could feel his gaze on you as he pushed his swing back and forth.

"i broke up with jana," he said suddenly.

"what?" you turned to look at him. he was still staring at you, the last of the sun's light casting shadows across the ground. "oh, georgie.. thats— i'm sorry," you offered as an attempt at comfort. you couldn't help the flutter in your heart.

"eh. 's alright. i'd been meaning to do it for a while, just... never found the opportunity."

"well..." the two of you spent a few moments in silence, trying to find the words to say. "i'm always here if you want to talk."

"thats... um, actually why i wanted to come here."

"oh?" you said, tearing your gaze away from him to push yourself on the swings. "why?"

"well, um. the reason i broke up with her is.." he paused, seemingly trying to gather his thoughts.

"you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to," you said.

"no, i want to." he kissed his teeth, staring off into the distance.

"y'know how sometimes, you're with one person but you're thinking about someone else?" he asked.

"mhm..?" you said, an inkling of an idea seeping into your mind.

"everytime i was with jana, i was thinking of someone else," he admitted quietly.

"really?" you glanced at him out of the corner of your eye and saw him nod. "who?"

he fell completely silent, digging the toe of his scuffed up sneakers into the dirt below him.

"you."

your heart stopped. you? you? this couldn't be happening. you had dreamed about this moment since the day you realized you had feelings for the brunette, but you had never thought he might feel the same.

"me?" you managed.

"you," he repeated. "y/n, you're the nicest girl i've ever met. you're funny, and sweet, and you're my best friend."

"you're also really damn pretty," he added.

"georgie.." the words you wanted to say were right on the tip of your tongue, but you couldn't seem to push them out. "i- i don't-"

he stood up from the swing, hooking his thumbs in his belt loops. "i get it if you don't feel the same. i just thought you should know," he mumbled, starting to walk away.

"georgie, wait," you said, quickly getting up from the swing. you tripped over a rock and stumbled forward, slamming into his chest. georgie's arms instinctively wrapped around you to keep you from falling.

"yeah?" he breathed out.

"i- i lo-"

your words were cut off when his lips found their way onto yours. the world seemed to stop spinning as georgie kissed you. it was just you and him under a vast expanse of stars and sky. he kissed you like he had been waiting for it his whole life, like you were some goddess he was worshipping.

when you finally pulled away, panting slightly, he was smiling down at you. "i knew it," he grinned.

"oh, shut up," you groaned, swatting his arm.

he laughed, kissing you again.

"i've loved you since the day i met you, y/n," he said when he pulled away. "i just didn't know how to tell you."

Some thoughts on the last few Magnus Protocol episodes as I’ve just now gotten caught up

SPOILERS!! Obvi

- feels rather cruel to have Alice be shaken up by her experience with The Horrors and worried that she’s going to get hurt by interacting with them and then give her a statement about someone who was shaken up by their experience with The Horrors and then died because of their interaction with them

- also return and voice of Ink5oul! Hey girlie!

- the fact that Madame E’s last video was just titled “help” made me giggle at first but then o thought about it more and. This is a person who uses excessive words on everything she says. Her vocabulary is loaded with filler and slang, so for this video to just have a one word title? Yeah you know shits about to go down

-Gwen girlie I hate to agree with Lena but they are Calle externals for a reason

- I am so curious about what’s going on with Celia. Like did she just wake up on a railroad track like an old times super villain put her there?

- And where does Celia keep disappearing to? She missed her date with Sam, she had to run out on her child, what’s going on?

- The statement in 17 is wild I was so confused at the beginning and I’ll be honest I’m still not sure what was happening there

- I know for a fact that people have pointed this out already but Jon and Martin?? In the therapy waiting room? Little Jon and Martin as a treat?? I hope it was them god knows they need the therapy

- MAGNUS INSTITUTE MENTION 🚨‼️🚨‼️

- this statement reminds me of when Jon said man I wish we had that guy who could take peoples bones out and Melanie said you’ll never guess who were keeping in the basement

- shout out to that housekeeper for getting the hell out of there I respect her for that

- making eye contact while falling down the stairs and breaking all your bones sounds very impressive and also hilarious someone please animate that

- CELIA HELLO??? Is this conformation that she’s from the other dimension??

- haha jmj error

- also WHAT JMJ ERROR

- I like to imagine that a jmj error happens when Jon Martin and Jonah are arguing about which case to give them

- “no Jonah you can’t give her that one that’s way too similar to what she went through she’ll freak out” “exactly we can watch her fear” “no you elitist prick that’s so rude cut it out or I’ll kill you again”

- why is Celia saying she’s seen Colin?

- Teddy is being so suspicious why is he saying everything like he’s looking from side to side shiftily the whole time

- Lena you can’t call a child an it that’s rude

- unless she knows something that we don’t…

- can’t believe they started to open up to each other and it went horribly wrong

- I don’t think we’ve ever heard Sam like that before, like I couldn’t tell who it was for a second

- actually, i couldn’t confidently tell you that we’ve ever heard someone laugh that hard in the entire podcast

- can you really blame him though? “Monsters are working for our government organization and one of them is Barney.” Wild.

-I do hope he apologizes though cause that wasn’t really cool of him

- Also is that our first f-bomb of the season?

- GEORGIE WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE

- I think that Georgie might also be from the other dimension. Why else would she be so concerned about the government stalking her? That does beg the question, where is Melanie?

Thank you for listening to me ramble I had a lot on my brain

Secrets

George Weasley x !f-reader. Fluff and a little angst if you squint. Requested by @a-lost-simp. George and Y/n are dating in secret. But what happens when they forget to lock the door?

Word count: 1.6k

Y/n carefully opened the door, peeking her head in and smiling when her eyes found George's.

He was sitting at his desk, scribbling something down, but when he heard the door, his gaze shifted.

A grin broke across his features, and he stood, making his way over to her.

Y/n quickly shut the door, meeting him in the middle and wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him in for a kiss.

George didn't hesitate to kiss her back, cupping her face in his hands and deepening the kiss.

Y/n broke away, leaning her head against his chest and letting out a deep sigh. George wrapped his arms around her, resting his face in her hair.

"What's wrong, love?" George whispers, running his hands comfortingly along her arms.

"Just tired, had a long day, two tests and an essay," Y/n murmured, sighing softly. George hummed, scooping her into his arms, carrying her bridal style.

Y/n yelped in surprise, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck. She shook her head, laughing as George smiled widely.

George walked to his bed, gently tossing Y/n down, then following after. He hovered over her for a moment, pressing a soft kiss to her lips before he laid down next to her.

He wrapped his arm around her, sighing contentedly as she snuggled closer, resting her head on his chest.

"When should we tell Fred?" Y/n asked, looking up at George. He frowned slightly, rubbing his jaw with a sigh.

The twins and Y/n had gotten off to a rocky start. She'd 'accidentally' lit their cauldron on fire in first-year potions after they commented about her hair.

Things just went south from there. Until George started feeling something that wasn't disdain, and so did Y/n.

"Soon, love, I just have to convince him you won't make us blonds again," George commented, snickering softly and kissing her temple.

Y/n smiled softly at the memory. In fourth year she'd dyed their hair blond for two weeks.

"It was only because you set off a dung bomb in my dorm. It stunk for weeks," Y/n said, lightly hitting him on the chest.

She sat straighter, moving on top of him and straddling his lap, her hands around his neck.

George reached up and stroked her cheek, leaning forward and pressing their lips together.

"You're so beautiful," George murmured against her lips, feeling her smile into the kiss.

"You're the prettiest thing in the world," Y/n replied, lacing her fingers in his red locks and shifting her hips against his.

"That's impossible with you right here," George whispered, kissing her harder to prevent any more replies from her lips.

Y/n grumbled something against his lips, but George just silenced her, parting her lips with his and deepening their kiss.

Y/n moved her hands down his neck, her palms now flat against his chest while they hungrily made out.

Just as he was about to pull his shirt over his head, they heard the doorknob turning.

Y/n quickly broke away, whipping her head around and widening her eyes. She tried to scramble off George as fast as she could, but the door opened just as she fell off the side of the bed.

She landed with a thud and a soft grunt. If whoever just entered was completely clueless. They sure weren't now.

"Georgie, who's behind your bed," Fred's curious voice rang out, laced with mischief.

"Uh, no one, that was, a a-book," George spoke, shooting up from the bed and guarding the path to the other side, clearing his throat and smiling at his twin.

"No, it wasn't," Fred said with a smirk, trying to peek his head over his twin and the bed.

"Fred, I promise you, there is no one-"

Y/n was quietly trying to crawl away and was so close to being able to sneak past both boys undetected when Fred stepped forward, right onto her arm.

"Ow, you fucking-" She clapped a hand over her mouth, but it was too late. His head jerked down, and his jaw dropped.

Y/n jumped up, standing next to George, who had an equally mortified expression.

"Hi, Fred," Y/n squeaked, managing a small smile. George protectively shifted in front of her, noticing the conflicted emotions crossing Fred's face.

"You're sleeping with her?" Fred said, pointing past George. His eyes wide.

"Freddie-"

"You know that's the same girl who cursed our spaghetti into worms!" Fred said again, cringing at the thought of her and his brother together.

"You made my shampoo smell like vomit!" Y/n bit back, trying to push past George to get to Fred, but George held her back.

"Okay, let's not have a catfight," George said, pulling Y/n back to him.

She sent another glare toward Fred but backed off nonetheless, mumbling incoherent insults.

"I know you two don't like each other, but I love her," George said, making Y/n's eyes soften.

Fred watched her eyes change from scowling at him to looking at his brother with complete adoration.

Fred sighed and groaned, whining about having to deal with her antics every day.

George leaned down and whispered something in her ear. She looked at him manically, harshly shaking her head, but George just raised his brow.

Y/n rolled her eyes and took a step forward. George didn't stop her this time, a slight smirk on his lips.

"Frederick, I am-" Y/n inhaled sharply, looking back at George with pleading eyes. He nodded at Fred again, crossing his arms.

"I'm sorry for everything I've done to you over the years," She managed to spit out through gritted teeth, looking at Fred with a forced smile.

Fred looked over his shoulder at his twin and saw that George obviously wanted him to apologize too. The younger twin was grinning like an idiot.

Fred groaned, frowning at Y/n before inhaling and starting to speak his words so terribly forced.

"I would also like to apologize for what I've done," Fred pushed out, cringing at the professionalism of his words.

George smiled, stepping forward and wrapping his arm around Y/n, watching his twin cringe. Y/n simply smiled at the older twin.

Fred narrowed his eyes at her, but little did they know this was the start of a great friendship.

average ultraman gaia episode

that news crew: breaking news there is an eldritch monster floating over the city causing acid rain

captain who is kougami from ooo: that's not good. send in team lightning

team lightning: sir we can't attack the monster because whenever we fly our jets near it a giant tongue comes out and licks us and it's very weird and upsetting

kajio: yeah, especially since i'm not gay

captain who is kougami from ooo: interesting. gamu our resident Science genius can you explain this with Science

gamu: ok so basically the monster is flying because all of its molecules are made of hydrogen and hydrogen is lighter than air and that's how they made the hindenburg. i know it looks solid but it just decided to have all its molecules be made of hydrogen and so that's how it's flying

captain who is kougami from ooo: i see. thank you very much for your highly informed and accurate Science. does the licking have anything to do with it

gamu: nope

captain who is kougami from ooo: ok. we will shoot a bunch of oxygen at the monster so that its molecules turn to water which is heavier than air so it will stop flying and causing acid rain

everyone: ok let's do it

xig: *firing oxygen at the monster so its hydrogen molecules turn into water molecules even though it still looks the same and it falls to the ground*

gaia: *transforms and beats up the monster so it explodes*

agul: *shows up and punches gaia for no reason*

gamu, detransforming: wtf what is your problem why are you such a hater!!!!!

fujimiya, detransforming: tch... fool. #humansarethevirus #unabomber *walks away, mysteriously*

gamu: fujimiya... 🥺💔

georgie and atsuko: captain we found out that the monster originated above a testing site for hydrogen bombs and was formed from the hydrogen of the hydrogen bombs

everyone: wow this is so sad we need to take better care of our planet #gogreen #stopwars

kajio: does anyone even CARE that i flew my plane real good

NEXT TIME ON ULTRAMAN GAIA: a mysterious fog that zaps your dick off has descended over the city because YOU didn't recycle!

[zannolin]

now that my break and my four-disc edition of narnia has arrived i am going to subject you all to the things i am obsessing over or thought were very fun from the audio commentaries and bonus stuff that i KNOW has been talked about elsewhere i'm sure but NOT ON MY BLOG! so here's a list of stuff i'm foaming at the mouth over from the filmmakers' (not the actors') commentary on LWW:

knew this already but to hear it made me scream; it was peter's plan to use the gryphons bombarding the witch's army with rocks at the beginning of the battle of beruna, and he got that idea from the blitz bombings that the movie itself opens with. GOD.

they shot the film as much in chronological order as they could, despite it being inefficient, because they wanted to capture the changes that narnia (the atmosphere, the exercise, the scenes, etc) would bring out in each character/actor.

every line in the set built for the wardrobe is directing the viewer's eye to the wardrobe itself. the decision to cover it was last-minute and somewhat debated because it wasn't originally in the book, but everyone agreed it was 100% worth it for the effect.

they were not able to make the wardrobe out of apple wood like it is in the books but they WANTED TO and made it out of the closest they could get which. god. i love when people CARE.

a bunch of the furniture in the set of the professor's house is literal antique english furniture??? for the accuracy and the vibe???

everyone talks about how skandar was the last one cast and how he spent a lot of time off filming on his own and thus hit all the right vibes of being the odd one out, BUT did you know while they really liked william, anna, and georgie for the other pevensies, they weren't going to cast any of them unless all four actors (whichever four that may be) clicked and worked well as a family? again: ME WHEN PEOPLE CARE.

i love when i'm right about minor set/costuming details i notice (the lamppost was specifically made to look as if it had grown; the witch wearing aslan's mane as a trophy and trying to symbolically Become him; the carvings on the wardrobe telling the story of the magician's nephew)

william moseley wasn't even supposed to hit skandar keynes with the cricket ball that was an accident and they decided to make it into part of the scene

andrew adamson is MY BEST FRIEND for shooting all the night scenes during the day and editing them to be night scenes which makes them very distinctly beautiful AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING.

the amount of suffering they endured to have nice looking grass on the set is so funny to me you guys have just got to listen to these commentaries. i can't even explain it.

crying because i missed this but when mrs. beaver gives lucy a plate of fish and chips THE CHIPS ARE WOOD CHIPS.

they used actual wolf hybrids for a lot of the shots with the wolves, not just cgi (though apparently they had to redo their tails because they were often too happy to be running around lmao) and it makes me sooo happy

tilda swinton's dress that she wore for the majority of the film was apparently so large in the shoulders she couldn't get through the door to the dungeon properly and just had to go at it sideways. AND she injured herself because of it.

they based the change in the witch's eyes from green during most of the film -> black when she kills aslan on hunting cats and how their pupils get REALLY big.

andrew adamson mentioned he thought about cutting father christmas from the movie as other adaptations had done but heard about how father christmas being there nearly ended tolkien and lewis' friendship and decided "well, i guess i don't have a say in it really if lewis STILL left him in there" and i love him for that.

i had so much freaking fun with this it was so amazing to see how much effort and work and love and care went into the crafting of this film. like they did not have to do all that. movies today will NOT do all that. they'll do such a shoddy job and cgi everything and not even make full costumes and stuff but LWW put all that work in and it was so good because of it. and i'm gonna be thinking about it forever.

George x reader. Enemies to lover. Whatever situation you want to write, it's totally your choice. I just want to laugh. That's it.

I Like Your Lips Better When They're Not Talking

Character: Georgie Karim x Gn!Reader

Type: Guys I don't even know

Length: 1.3k words

Summary: You and George have been at a constant war of who's the better researcher. One ups, sabotaging, etc... After a disastrous trip George lets something go even you couldn't read

Trope: Enemies to lovers

A/n: Ignore how I forgot about my requests until like a few days ago and I've been a writing machine. So yeah 💀

"You're joking." I scoffed and crossed my arms.

"You two need to get along and besides I already told our client you and George would be there." I let out a long and dramatic groan.

"Lockwood, I swear you don't pay me enough to be around him." He scoffed, wandering to the fridge for another cold beer. I'm gonna need 5 of those if I want to get through this case semi-happy.

"I pay you both just as well as you work." I heard bottles clink together as he shuffled around.

“At least get me to work with Lucy! Or even you I mean come on Lockwood we can pretend you’re George.” Lockwood scoffed and opened the beer and tossed the opener back in the fridge.

“You know that house will end up worse than the time you and Luce ended up burning down that other house in Sheean Road? You're asking for something that's ultimately going to fail.” A hand went through my hair.

What was Lockwood thinking? Usually when all four of us went on missions me and him were split up because we couldn’t work together in the slightest. He always made sure to show off his touch in front of me which he knew very well I was weaker in. Much like Lucy I was more of a listener which I think is way cooler than touch.

George had coincidentally walked into the kitchen and glared at me. I rolled my eyes and turned my attention back to Lockwood.

“Come on. This is one case.“ He pleaded. Yeah, one too many.

“What case?” George budded in. I mentally groaned. Lockwood locked over to the kitchen table.

"You two are going to this address." He tapped part of the thinking cloth which had a house and a time.

"What day are we going?" I sighed.

"Tonight." Lockwood winced because he knew I'd explode.

"Tonight? Lockwood, I had plans tonight. Why didn't you tell me ahead of time?" George rolled his eyes.

"Why are you never prepared?" He complained.

"Why don't you have other friends?" I argued.

"Okay, guys, let's calm down." Lockwood tried to settle the dispute. "Look just realize your romantic feelings for each other and get the job done." He teased.

"WOAH!" Me and George burst out at the same time.

"This is absolutely NOT what this is about." George flailed his arms around.

"Are you on something Lockwood because this" I motioned between me and the stupid boy with glasses. "is not happening." For once in his life he agreed.

"Exactly." Lockwood scoffed at both of us.

"Yeah sure whatever you guys say." He raised his eyebrows. "Remember. Tonight." He spoke before exiting the room. I looked back at George and I narrowed my eyes.

"Ugh gross." I winced before exiting the room. I only wish that's how I actually felt.

-

“Oh come on how was that my fault!? You didn’t bring enough salt bombs!” I grumbled at the stubborn boy. We barged back into 35 Portland Row. Home finally. The night was so long I never thought it would end. George slammed the door basically shaking the house.

“Don’t give me that! How was I supposed to know that we needed more? I barely knew what we were dealing with. I didn’t know they were gonna be wraiths other than phantasms!” He rolled his eyes throwing his rapier into its place by the front. I tossed my jacket onto the hanger. And tossed my rapier into the same spot.

We got attacked by a lot more than we thought we had coming. It really wasn’t his fault but I was just so upset with him. He’s been so Unbearable lately. I don’t know why he was so frustrating to work with.

The client we had said there was one ghoul they knew of and that was a phantasm then there were 2 wraiths…

"Also, you were too busy feeling the walls and easily got distracted." I shouted.

"I was trying to know what we were dealing with. I didn't give you shit about you using your listening."

"Well, I'm sorry listening is more helpful than touch."

“I specifically told you to get more. I thought you were smarter than that.” I rolled my eyes. It was pretty early into the morning and we didn’t care we were being loud. Lucy and Lockwood have learned to live with our constant bickering.

“Well, you were in charge in chains!” He threw his hands up. “My first mistake.” I rolled my eyes.

“This whole trip was a mistake.” I sighed deeply. I stormed off to the kitchen. I rummaged through the kitchen and found a beer I knew I was going to want earlier.

I sat down at the table and started to scribble doodles of George getting attacked by a wraith on the thinking cloth just to aggravate him more. It was fair because he’s drawn many of me. More than He’s drawn off Lockwood. George stormed in because he obviously wasn’t ready to end our disagreement. His eyes scanned me. Brows furrowed and I focused on the stupid doodle.

“What are you doing?" He referred to my drawing.

“What does it look like? Piss off. You really don't need the last word.” I spat. I usually tried to ignore him but I’d really had enough of his pissy personality and damn attitude.

“Asshole!” He blurted. I stood up.

"Jesus for someone so ‘smart' you’re so ignorant!” I dropped the pen back on the table. He stood with his arms crossed. And his face was red. I mean red. He was absolutely fuming.

“At least I’m smarter than you’ve ever been. You don’t think before you do things.” His jaw tensed. My eyebrows furrowed. I laughed shocked. “Oh, you think this is funny? You know you have such a horrible attitude.”

Then we were close. I don’t know who stepped forward or if we both did but we were so close. So close.

“Then fix it for me.” I grumbled.

My lip quivered out of anger. He took notice of it because he was staring at my lips.

Then It just happened. Our lips were together. I don’t know who went for it but I wasn’t complaining. All the anger washed away immediately. My hands immediately tangled into his dark curls. I pulled myself away.

"Okay. Um whoah." I blinked a few times trying to determine if that actually happened. Did we just kiss? Me and George Karim out of all people? Holy shit.

"Yeah, I don't know where that came from. I'm sorry." I'm pretty sure that was the first time I heard him say this without sass and sarcasm. "I-I didn't mean to kiss you. W-well I did but-" He stammered.

"Just kiss me again." I rolled my eyes and kissed him again. He melted into the kiss and let out a small groan as he was taken aback by the kiss. He slowly pulled away looking confused and shocked that I kissed him again.

"I thought you hated me why did you.. kiss me!?" His eyes were wide beneath his thick frames.

"Oh my god, I could ask you the same thing! But George, I don't hate you. I hate how smart you are! You always have good idea's and I just wanted to be better." I smiled sheepishly.

"You've interested me the day you got to Portland Row." He confessed. "And um... I am pretty smart aren't I?" He teased. I playfully smacked his arm.

"Oh shut up I like your lips better when they aren't talking." I teased back. He smiled ear to ear and his cheeks were flushed. Then we heard Lockwood shout from upstairs.

-

Lockwood had wandered downstairs to try and stop the yelling and bickering so early in the morning. We didn't have a case for the rest of the day and he wanted to sleep in. Lockwood inched closer to the kitchen door and he was almost scared they had killed each other from the quiet environment.

The door was slightly ajar and he saw them smiling at each other then they kissed. Lockwood's eyebrows rose. He almost thought this was a dream. He quickly rushed upstairs with loud footsteps.

"Lucy, you owe me 15 pounds!" He yelled extremely loud with a grin on his face.

60 is it Lockwood? Yeah it is "As I met his gaze, he smiled- and that smile was a world away from the 100-gigawatt version you saw in the papers. It was warm but somehow hesitant, as if it hadn't been used recently" it'd be so funny if she just closed the door on him, also the specific type of mess? him holding her laundry? I would rather die

66 I loved the tea making scene in the first read of this book and I love it now

70 just like how I love Lucy wanting Lockwood to beg for her return to the company "on bended knee"

195 (chapter 12) such an innocent picture of a guy sitting on bench enjoying the sun

202 chilling moment "its lifeless occupant with the twisted, broken neck"

206 I wonder what would have happened if she used her torch sparingly (and as a weapon? blinding her pursuers?)

218 Lockwood and George going overboard on dressing her wound

222 this hurts very much them keeping her room the same but also storage the idea of Holly staying over and where she would be staying

249 Lockwood not sharing the plan again and lmao Holly "it was like a bomb went off" like she knew Lucy wasn't the tidiest of people at the best of times so she had to realise. Also Lucy avoiding Lockwood's eyes is so funny

253 Poor kitty cats fuck Rotwell

260 folklore is so interesting and I want to know more about their research

264 Did Holly realise Lockwood was why Lucy left and making him look like that is her revenge?

363 RIP model ship

378 Lmao Lockwood does have a reputation

406 clever boys asking questions of all these coincidences

423 recognition "they stared at the baton, open-mouthed"

425 this is bad "we were loyal enough" and I really can't pinpoint why other than "you have to tell him no"

429 "oh God. Yes" lmao

437 "it was ugly, heavy, brutally functional" and very unwieldy

442 lmao Skull and into the unknown

449 why not name the Fetch instead of saying "a ghost"

pls drop the playlist

Alright fam, I am at war with Spotify and Rainbow Kitten Surprise is at war with YT Music, it feels like (on two of their albums songs are secretly ~other songs), and boy is this an RKS heavy playlist because a) I listened to a whole bunch of them last year and b) they were perfect for it. Like a good quarter of their songs worked for them (and a quarter of the ones that don't work for Robbie/Georgie. It's been a thing)

So these links are just to Youtube, with lyrics if possible.

The Holden/James soundtrack that isn't canon anymore because these boys are fucking goobers:

Okkervil River - Our Life is Not a Movie But Maybe

RKS - Cold Love

boygenius - Stay Down

SMYL - The War

Mt. Joy - Dirty Love

Sunset Rubdown - Idiot Heart

RKS - American Hero

Julien Baker - Even

Matthew Good Band - Hello Time Bomb

SMYL - BLACK TEETH

RKS - Shameful Company

Wolf Parade - Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts

Yeasayer - O.N.E

And then, my song for the series after I chose the title:

RKS - Counting Cards

A couple of these probably still work (American Hero definitely still suits Holden, and I'm reluctant to give up Counting Cards), but yes. A great soundtrack I got a lot of enjoyment out of while I still had delusions of this hate sex thing working out.

-S4 Notes-

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

SOMETHING ABOUT FANART GOES HERE I THINK

<- previous notes

next notes ->

Handwriting translated below:

#121 Oliver. He’s dead and JON! YOU’RE OKAY!

#122 zombies and Jon’s first instinct from waking up from a 6 month coma is to read a statement. Icon.

#123 He just got back and Melanie wants to kill him and something is up with Martin. Also, The Web, I suppose. Coding?

#124 More Simon. What a guy. Also, Jon is… very concerned for Martin…

#125 The Slaughter is back and Melanie! CALM DOWN! MY HEADPHONES ARE ON LIFE SUPPORT AS IT IS!

#126 The Spiral clarity + Martin is being manipulated (SHE STABBED HIM!?)

#127 Another letter to Jonah. AND ELIAS IS JUST CHILLIN IN PRISON. GO OFF, KING!

#128 Breekon is nothing without Hope. The institute and ooo! Jon eye powers!

#129 Guy drowned in grandpa’s house and JON NEEDS AN ANCHOR! Also, very homosexual interaction.

#130 Meat ritual and JON! NO, SELF HARM IS BAD! YOU BETTER NOT DO WHAT I THINK YOU’RE IMPLYING!

#131 AAAA! AAAA! OH. OH NO. Jared is the Boneturner and Helen is an absolute queen <3

#132 Jon saves Daisy!! Yay! She is also The Hunt, but, whatever. The tapes drew him back…

#133 The Hunt ritual, and Basira… has feelingsss. The Hunt is about the chase, not the kill.

#134 The Extinction!? NO. Also Lukas is the worst. Hate that guy.

#135 “Have I ever told you how much I hate the sun?” -Manuela Lol, The Dark, The Vast, and The Lonely funded the space expedition.

#136 Annabelle! Creepy celeb puppet. And Daisy telling Jon he’s not responsible for everything gives hope. Yes! Therapy!

#137 The Slaughter ritual & Gertrude was fond of Gerry :( The Watcher’s Crown??

#138 “And then the sky blinked.” Elias is literally the ‘no need to thank me’ meme and Jonah and Smirke knew about the 14 fears and then he dies or smthn

#139 The life and crimes of Agnes. Jon MAYBE saw Peter’s plan and- PRAISE THE LORD, JON LIKES MARTIN!!

#140 Stupid Maxwell. Also, Santa is working working with the Devine Host (/j) & we’re going on a trip! :D

#141 Salesa statement from boat guy. Oh, Jon, I see why Martin has a crush on you now. 10/10 voice acting on everyone’s part.

#142 JEEZ, JON! You gave this poor woman literal trauma! Goodness…

#143 oh, it’s Manuela! Jon looked AT the darkness and HELEN IS A SAVIOR!

#144 MARTIN! We do NOT talk to people like that! Especially Daisy! This isn’t you! The Extinction is real, I guess, but, come on! Not cool.

#145 Gertrude is COLD. Dude’s head is somewhere in the institute- uh-

#146 5 people? Goodness, Jon. He can’t control it though, can he? Helen got Marcus and Basira is off to meet with Annabelle friggin Cane.

#147 Okay. No, he can control it. I love Anna. I also got Nikola flashbacks. Oh boy.

#148 Not 5 seconds in and Elias gets assaulted. Jon is worried for Martin and he read a statement about The Eye. A.

#149 Concrete Jungle. Oh and Martin is using Lonely powers. Greaaat.

#150 Homophobic endless houses and Melanie really said “nuh uh” to her job

#151 Simon is my new husband. Uhhh. He answered Martin’s questions, yada yada, he has Lonely powers

#152 More of The Buried. Jon and Helen chat more about avatar crap.

#153 Another odd desolation flesh cult, also Trevor and chic is here and he is HUNGRY

#154 Gerry’s dead dad gives a statement. J + M both F bomb, very gay, eye gouging is the only way out. (“It’s pretty drastic.” “What you gotta gouge your eyes out or something?” “…” “…” “…” “Fuck off.” <- funniest conversation in the whole series)

#155 Guy kills others to keep himself alive + MEL IS REMOVING HER EYES- OKAY-

#156 More extinction about an abandoned park and I am very scared for Martin

#157 another extinction- OMG MEL AND GEORGIE! Did… Helen stab Jon?

#158 SO MUCH. Martin played Lukas, Daisy is feral, ELIAS IS JONAH, Not!Sasha is loose, disaster duo is here, Martin is stuck in Lonely, Gertrude wanted ‘Elias’ to kill her. WHAT.

#159 Peter shares his story, is evaporated. “I see you, Jon…”

#160

Look at the sky, Martin. It’s looking back.

I OPEN THE DOOR!
