#girls . . . joan woo.

[theirmadness]

for @milleroptimism, from here. ♡

❝ of course. why would i make that assumption, with that look you've been giving me? ❞ joan is amused, more than anything. this young woman is interesting, that much she can already tell. she lets out a quiet chuckle, pointing towards the empty seat in front of her with a warm smile. ❝ how generous of you. i feel like, in that case, i am legally obliged to at least buy you a drink, hmm? why don't you join me? seeing neither of us are into age gaps. ❞ an eyebrow is raised as she sips her glass of wine. she's very clearly teasing the girl, but it's all in a friendly and good-natured way. she's pretty, and funny. joan is day drinking, alone. what could possibly be the harm?

“Dinner chat”

Yoko: so how was dinner last night? Was it worth skipping out on your girls and beef slop?

Enid: oh yes! Wednesday cooked us steaks! And bought a strawberry cake from Joan’s!

Divina: cooked steaks? The two of you are so lucky to have a balcony

Wednesday: -approaching the table- not when a certain love sick artist keeps breaking dorm rules. At least we finally got a lock installed on our window.

Enid: omg! It done? When?

Wednesday: this afternoon. Ms Strode found me in the library during my study hall to come to the room to be in the room with her and the maintenance guy

Enid: YES! I’m so paranoid that he’s gonna come in when we are sleeping

Divina: who? Love sick artist? Xavier?

Wednesday: who else?

Ajax and Kent approached the table

Ajax: May we join you, ladies?

Yoko: of course

Ajax: did anyone see Xavier and that electronic dog collar he’s wearing? No offense, Enid. What’s with that?

Enid: only a slight offense taken. -Enid chuckled- but it does look like one of those, doesn’t it? It was put on last night when he interrupted our dinner

Kent: everyone was snickering about it in writing class

Divina: don’t you have that class with Wednesday?

Wednesday: his presence is the only thing that keeps me sane in that class.

Kent: aww. Thanks, Wednesday. Ms Hamilton is one of those normies who think they know about outcasts but make up lore or are victims of everything cliché about outcast lore and it becomes canon

Yoko: oh! Like vampires that sparkle?

Divina: or completely romanticizing ’the embrace’ and blood lust?

Enid: Blech. This burger is a hockey puck. How does one mess up cooking a simple burger? Bet you can make me a delectable burger, Wednesday!

Xavier had walked up to the table.

Xavier: make it yourself! Forcing Wednesday to cook is so beneath her!

Everyone looked at Xavier, except Wednesday who had taken a bottle of hot sauce from her bag. She put it on her burger and took a bite.

Wednesday: ugh. Not even hot sauce can save this poor excuse for a burger. Hockey puck is a proper description. I do not think my Uncle Fester would enjoy this and he likes his steak well done.

Yoko: next girls night are you willing to make us some proper burgers, Wednesday? Enid could not say enough about your steaks

Wednesday grinned evilly.

Wednesday: under one condition. Hot sauce with fries dipping contest. See who can reach the hottest level. I will make sure there is plenty of milk and fruit. I want to try some hot sauce with pepper x.

Divina: maybe this weekend? Saturday after fencing practice? Bianca can come too?

Wednesday: Saturday I have reservations at the steakhouse. I am taking Kent and Enid.

Enid: you’re taking me to the steakhouse on Saturday? Why is Kent coming?

Wednesday: Actually I am taking Kent to the steakhouse. But I can not go without taking you. It is the result of a bet in writing class

Enid smiled.

Xavier: are you actually going to write the assignment this time, Wednesday? Or are wizards and witches too sensitive for you too?

Wednesday: I do intend to write this assignment. I know what your ‘werewolf lust’ assignment was, Xavier. And I must say I am very disgusted and truly nauseated

Xavier: that’s a good thing right?

Wednesday: no. It is not. I feel bad for Ms Hamilton’s assistant who has to read your disgusting corn.

Kent passed and note to Wednesday

Kent: bet. Xavier writes about a wizard creating a love potion for you to fall madly in love with him.

Wednesday: that is not exactly lore?

Kent: the lore of making love potions? I’ll buy you something in Uriah’s Heap if he somehow involves you?

Wednesday: deal

Yoko: do I even want to ask?

Wednesday: no.

Enid: ew. Xavier, please stop trying to woo Wednesday. She is my girlfriend.

Xavier: why are you hanging around her and her friends? Girls night? Forcing you to cook for them? That is so beneath you! You are better than that! You shouldn’t have to cook for them?

Wednesday: I enjoy cooking. It is one of many activities I enjoy doing with my father. Sure we have a cook who does most of it. But my father enjoys being in the kitchen. I do not participate in most of the girls night activities but in return for them hanging out in Enid’s side of the dorm and doing slightly more quite less ear piercing squealing activities? I provide the food/snacks.

Ajax: what do you have against cooking?

Xavier: nothing. But someone like Wednesday shouldn’t have to do it! You wouldn’t understand. Wednesday, let me treat you to a night out. Just one date. I’ll make sure its memorable and sweep you off your feet

Wednesday: are you sure that dog collar will allow you to leave campus? I am certain you do not intend to woo me with beef slop, hockey puck burgers, or boxed Mac and cheese

Xavier: I’ll ask Mr Myers for permission! Next Saturday!

Wednesday: in two weeks. This Saturday I’m taking Kent to the steakhouse, next Saturday is girls night. So you have plenty of time

Xavier: YES! -Xavier pumps his fist and scampers off-

Enid: did you just agree to a date with Xavier?

Wednesday: ugh. Yes. Kill me slowly

Divina: girls night activity? We give you the darkest creepiest make over ideas for your date?

Wednesday: -smirking- nothing too far out of my comfort zone. I don’t want to look too sexy and give him the wrong idea.

Yoko, Divina and Kent laughed.

Kent: I wish I could come to girls night. I wonder if I talked to Mr Tennant about it and Ms Strode.

[khaleesiofalicante]

Well, that was some plot twist, can I just say that Cami and Antoine were the real MVPs of this chapter? I loved every single thing they did and said in this chapter and I really really hope we see more of Antoine and Abigail, they are the only sane couple of this story (at least for now).

But I have soo many thoughts!

Most of the next generation, especially the kids you chose, to live in the same building has got to be one of my favourite plot twists. I'm shooketh. This has so much potential. Regine and Arthur? Kincaid wooing Arthur? Kincaid and Joan training and Arthur with Regine thirsting after them? Regine working through her feelings and becoming a better person? Lance witnessing Kincaid being a decent person and maybe being somewhat similar to him? Them hiding from the adoring crowd to a closet or something? Theia and Kincaid being amazing siblings in law? That storyline is a major game changer and I'm thrilled to see how you'll explore it!

I love love love Gwen and I'm so glad she's back! And telling Lucifer to respect Lance? Queen behavior right there

Does every Knightstorm have to be a bigoted nightmare? Blood supremacist, homophobe, what's next? No offence Mikkel but we have enough problems to worry about without you trying to create a cult. On a side note, super stoked to see what happened to him and Hermes. I have a feeling they used to be close? And most likely it was platonic but maybe a little romantic too? Maybe?👀

Here are some things that feel like they're connected (but probably aren't): 1)Theia mentions in LBAF 5 that she "sees" Lance dating a mundane blonde girl, like a Barbie girl, which reminds me of Regine 2)It's been mentioned a lot that Regine/Lance were going to be married/parabatai by Madeleime when they were kids a lot 4)Arthur sees Lance with a parabatai rune. I honestly don't even have an actual theory about this, those things just seem to connect?

Speaking of the parabatai rune, if Lance and Arthur don't end up becoming parabatai(I can see Atlas figuring the runes problem) Kincaid and Lance kind of make sense? Not because they are close but because parabatai are supposed to share a soul. And both Kincaid's and Lance's soul is Arthur. So, in a way they're already sharing a soul.

Another crazy theory: The prophecy isn't talking about Lance/Kincaid but about Lucifer/Micheal and Lance and Kincaid clash is just the beginning of the war between the other two. Or when Kincaid burns Lance, it would destroy the pandemonium but Lance would live, and it would be the prince of darkness' demise because he would no longer be a portal? Or even that it would destroy Lucifer and not Lance? Can Kincaid use heavenly fire to hurt Lucifer?👀

I was so convinced that Joseph would come back I just had a feeling! Oh, I can't wait to see his interaction with Madeleine and how he reacts to what he hears everything she has done. I can see Madeleine believing that it's not really Joseph or at first believing it and after he tells her what she's doing is insane, her being convinced it's a ploy by Lance. But that means his death is a canon event 😭

I am DYING just picturing how the conversation between Max and David planning the trial went. How they came up with using the alliance rune. That would've been an amazing scene, I love these two

Okay, while it was very in character, the Lance/Max interaction I didn't like. Because I feel like Max should have listened to Lance. He was the only person Lance would've told the actual reason to. The only person that could assure Lance that what he did was pointless. He did the same thing with Magnus in LBAF II and the "I hurt the people I love so they should stay away from me" mentality Lance has adopted screams Max so he really should've heard him out. Because it wasn't a "bullshit excuse" it was an actual reason that makes Lance feel bad about himself. And Max had an opportunity to comfort him and ruined it. But Lance needed a good whooping. I hope he talks to David about this. Let David do the comforting part.

Lance being happy about Arthur breaking up with Kincaid, while completely understandable and in character also feels wrong. He should've asked, because Arthur is so terrified and when Lance shut Theia out it was because of very similar reasons. But he wasn't alone in it. He had Gwen and Arthur. Arthur is alone. And he doesn't deserve that. And for a really long time he chose it. He hid it from other people. But now they know. So they have a say in it. To question, to help , to support him. They have an opening now and I really hope they take it. David asking why Arthur broke up with Kincaid made me so happy. I really hope he questions Arthur a little deeper about it. Because Lance and Max won't. And I get why. But someone has to. David really is holding them all together isn't he?

Every other villan in this story doesn't hold a candle to Lucifer. The guy is not here to fuck around. He kept to the point, he didn't have unnecessary dramatics. I can really see why he is considered the smartest out of all of them. Again, he DOES NOT fuck around. And that was crystal clear when Lance said he hates feeling unwanted and Lucifer made it sound like he doesn't want him. He used his insecurity against him and whether he meant it or not it was a very strong start for him to manipulate Lance. Never underestimate Lucifer indeed.

On a happier note, a small reminder that this isn't the first time Lance gives Theia flowers! But it's the first time they reach her-bad Kincaid

I live in Dream Denial Daydream world. It's like Barbie's world, except in this world all the good guys that came back to life can stay with zero consequences and only the assholes have to return to the dead. Some of them sooner than others. Pwease🥺

The Magnus changing the canon event- his dreams going away- Max treating Alec like that are things I have locked away in a little box and I refuse to revisit them until we get to LBAF 7. But Magnus not having these dreams makes me super worried about Other Magnus and the epilogue will probably let us know about what happened. I am so scared about that🙃

I can't believe that we are getting to the end of the first part! It was a wild ride and I loved every minute of it. Anxiously waiting for the epilogue and then it's back to Mavid fluff, I can't wait🥰

AHHHH LBAF ASK FROM VICKY. HEHEHE I LOVE THESE.

Cami and Antoine are indeed the MVPs. Really out there doing what needs to be done. We'll definitely see Antoine and Abby more...Maybe on a double date 👀

This is one of my favourite things about the next season (yeah I am saying it now too). I've been waiting to bring them all together. There's just gonna be a lot of bonding and I'm soooo pumped about it hehe.

Gwen, we missed you 🥹

Knightstorms being cunts, who else is surprised? Hermes and Mikkel is platonic I swear 🤣

They are not connected hehe. But then again I lie all the time so who knows?

Lance having a parabatai is hilarious to me idk why he'll be like "tying my soul to someone ew" But i'd love that for him

I've heard this theory before. I must say it's quite popular 👀

I remember when Joseph died, I let it slip that it's a canon event, I'm glad none of yall remember it kdjnkjsnjkdcs

I NEED A ONE-SHOT.

You're very right about this. It's in character, but it's also not the sensible thing to do. I feel like Other Max would've handled this before (he thinks with his head whereas Current Max very much still thinks with his heart)

Same thing. In character, but like bro why did you do that? I think Lance might have been too relieved to think too deeply about it. But maybe he'll start noticing how the break up affects Arthur? When mavid find out Arthur broke up with Kincaid, Max asks 'when' and David asks 'why' - a small hint there that David is indeed worried and doesn't understand why Arthur would do that. Hopefully they'll have a chat.

Lucifer 🫡

YOU REMEMBERED!

Wouldn't that be nice oof

Yeah all of it not good. very bad. terrible.

Wild ride is definitely right. Thank you for sticking with me through it 🥹🧡

[slutnali]

me reading that ronetra wip!!!

ooo i'm so invested, the drama of it all! absolutely in love with it already 😌💕

also blayze could u give us some of the behind the scenes for it?? like do u maybe have songs associated to the au??

omg Cece ty!!! I'm glad to hear you're liking it so far 😊💜😊

originally this is oneshot (maybe twoshot depends..) I started randomly hc'ing with ella ( @dawningofdrag ) on discord while she was out in public and I kept pestering her with it and I just love robin and netra sm I had to actually start bringing it to life rather than letting it live rent free in my head.

songs that I have associated with the AU are:

do you wanna touch me by joan jett (the glee version is good too)

stargirl interlude (extended version) by lana del rey

speed by kali uchis

woo by rihanna - the lyrics don't really match the au but I just love the vibe and beat of this song, I can't explain it

nasty girl by vanity 6

in the morning by nao - this one is more about robin and her relationship with her bf

these are the songs that come to mind atm, tysm for sending in this ask 💜💜

Lady in Whiskers & Slippers (Updated 11-19-23)

(Sling Set, 19. October) Back in Cinci-Oh, I struggled to earn small wages doing odd jobs in my awkward teen years. At Human age 13, my limbs shot up like bamboo n my paws were whopee cusions, yet Im still kitten sized compared to Big Rhonda n Aunt Jane (Circene screwd my mom's genetics more than dad screwed her in the motel 6 pool that birthed me! srry TMI). Two of my best gigs boiled to babysitting and the Cactus Joan Revue at Cincinnati Zoo. Sure I liked pouncing thru loops made by my preternatural tail Slink n wranglin livestock by the petting zone in Aunt Jane's Cowgirl dress from her Paris,Texas Runway last spring when she toured w/Coco Banana, the sitting jobs fared better cuz I met some critters as odd as I am, like that pygmy hippo boss baby Benny and his growth formula down by Wall Street, or that shadeling Taz Devil Vincent from Brisbane, Australia. But my recent sitting gig had some skeletons I hadnt noticed til then, n it all came to my sitee Last July.

I took care of a literal cat lady and her litter of 35 for 3 wks in her rustic Rhode Island shack. Her name was Julie Phyllis. 30yrs ago, she was a former resi of Spooner Street with a handful of cats, plus a large tabby w/black stripes she calls Mistress Bengal acting as security for the few dogs that dare cross her sidewalk n lawn. Lately some rowdy kids spouted off tall tales of her becoming a cat herself or that Bengal would take her place if she wasn't fed well enough. Wutever the case, she had gradually gone from Crazy Ol Cat Lady to Crazy Ol Cat IRL 'round Halloween time. They hadnt figured what caused her transfur, say for some strange glowing plants by her yard. Her cats musta rubbed on the leaves which carried bits of Circene spores in'em, then she rubbed her face n hands on their fur, turning her to this light orange Tabby I saw my first week of Nana-sitting, or maybe Ms. Bengal had been Mobilized n took Phyllis' place. Like any bothersome pets in the suburbs, her neighbors had shooed them far out of town, living their next nine lives in that shack. Few things to know bout my time w/Ms. Phyllis 2/3 weeks in: 1-Her signature clothes were a periwinkle bathrobe,small round glasses, n peach slippers in stockings. But as a Barban spinster housecat who could shift from anthro to feral at random, she rips her pantyhose clawing n stretching her toes apart when going full cat. Otherwise she's naked in both her Mobile and Wild stance sans a grey-blue collar on her neck with a tag reading "Bagel" whn goin out,wearin it as if she was that same cat that passed not too long ago. And I no shame luv it! 2-Her cats see her as Queen of the Litterbox given her girth from eating too much Meow Mix n cream, but I see a deluded fat-ass pussy, which is no different than other cats, playin round the scratch post, lappin that saucer of cream n tuna. 3-Litterbox stank n dander everywhere was unbearable 4-A pantry stocked full'o'tuna cans, milk & cream yet she forgets to feed them while gourging on the rations herself, chowing so much Meow mix like Trail Mix n guzzling gallons upon gallons of milk!

All that said, she wasnt a bad client, forgetful n piggy yes, but not awful, n still tho...I cudnt help but shake that we were kindred in some way, dark stripes n glasses aside. Few times we went Out to walk, Julie hung with her Golden Girls by a small pet friendly café, sharing gossip from the pets on Spooner street n out of state, comparing pills n claw lengths, wooing would-be mates at the Petsmart n VFW home. She was almost like family to me, rekindling our bonds after we havnt seen one another for a long time.

Near the end of week 2, I saw some frames of Phyllis with her 'tiger cat' Ms. Bengal almost one n the same at this point, even wearin the confounded collar with the wrong name Bagel. Another frame of that cat corners my eye, with a Persian and Siamese by her side, but she wore an enchanting Viper Green collar. Funny how they look a bit like my aunt n uncle on my mom's side, Muffin & Finch. Dad told me they had another tabby as a friend by name of Bagel, looking way too same-ish as Julie on that big orange Snick couch there by the TV set with all the other cats huddled over for daytime soaps or Price is Right like my inlaws did at the adoption center– ⚡️👓⚡️😳 Oh my...I blocked that thought out as a cub some point, not giving 2¢ about it, but it factors into my lineage with Ma when she left our lives. I was too bashful to blurt out my discovery in front of her cats lest they attack their False Queen in shock. Tho given her short-term memory loss, she wudnt hav known herself much post-TF. Was she Ms. Bengal or Julie Phyllis? TBC

'IRON DAVY' FINDS LOVE COSTLY Sister Aimee's Mate Must Pay for Ardent Wooing By NEA Service

—August 24, 1932, The Indianapolis Times

A 223-pound Romeo who sang tender love ballads to the pretty nurse who treated his influenza, took and gave her kisses in torrid love-making on a divan, promised to marry her and then forgot his promise, awoke on his honeymoon with another woman to discover that he had left behind a wounded heart that only $200,000 could heal.

The heavyweight champion lover was David L. (Iron Man) Hutton, now the husband of Evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson, and the breach of promise suit was filed against him by Miss Myrtle Joan St. Pierre, comely Los Angeles nurse, two days after his wedding.

Just a few weeks ago, this three-cornered love drama ended after a sensational trial at Los Angeles, in which a jury of seven men and five women decided that Miss St. Pierre's charges were true and awarded her a $5,000 judgement toward curing her $200,000 heartache.

So, was written another chapter in the glamorous love triangles of 1932. This one found the world's most famous evangelist—herself already once widowed and once divorced—competing with the pretty nurse for the affections of the gigantic baritone who was (and still is)—the leader of Aimee's famed Angelus temple choir.

Sister Aimee's romance with Hutton began about a year before their marriage, when the rotund baritone took a leading role in "The Iron Furnace," a biblical opera that she wrote and directed.

Taking the part of the king, Hutton sat on a throne of gold and sang his way into Sister Aimee's heart. Thus Hutton earned his nickname of "Iron Man."

On Sept. 13, 1931, they eloped by airplane and were wed at Yuma, Ariz. Throughout Hutton's trial the evangelist expressed confidence in her husband.

# # #

But prior to the time he married Sister Aimee, so Miss St. Pierre charged in a manner that convinced the jury, Hutton had promised to marry her.

Thus, she said, she suffered great mental anguish when she learned that he had jilted her.

The trial, replete with testimony of kisses, moonlight auto rides and amorous wooing on a divan, took three weeks.

Star witness for herself was Miss St. Pierre. A summarization of her testimony indicates that the sweet singer of gospel songs was a fast and furious lover, and the start of their romance boils down about like this:

Saturday—They met at a party at a friend's home, where Dave attempted to kiss her after a few highballs . . . "Where have you been keeping this gorgeous creature all my life?" the smiling Dave inquired of the host.

Monday—Hutton got his first "date" with Miss St. Pierre and took her on a three-hour automobile ride, which ended in an oak-bordered lover's lane . . . "He said I was adorable, that he had looked for a long time for a girl like me; he took my hand and said, 'I love you.'"

Tuesday—Hutton called again on Miss St. Pierre at her home. On the divan, Dave said: "Sweetheart, I have come to love you"—and gathered her in his arms.

Thursday—Hutton called again, and sand tender love ballads to her in the parlor. By this time he had ceased entirely to call her by her first name, and was addressing her as "Sweetheart."

Friday—Big Dave's term of endearment changed from "Sweetheart" to "Darling." . . . More love-making on the divan.

Saturday Afternoon—By now it was "Dearest" and "Honey." . . . He sneaked up from behind, put his arms around her and whispered sweet things into her ear while she fixed the salad for a picnic lunch.

And so, Miss St. Pierre continued, things continued to grow warmer until Hutton proposed and she accepted.

# # #

Numerous times during Miss St. Pierre's description of Dave's torried love-making, the courtroom rippled with laughter.

The portly Hutton, seated beside his attorneys, frequently gulped and swallowed hard.

Especially did the crowd titter when the pretty nurse told how she had treated Dave's influenza, by fixing him up so he wouldn't contract another cold on one of those moonlight auto rides.

"I took my noon hour off," she said, "and bought him a little baby blanket, cut a hole in it for his head and tied it on him with little pink ribbons which I had sewed on myself."

Dave gulped—again.

Three weeks after she met Mr. Hutton, Miss St. Pierre said, she cooked dinner for him in her apartment.

She added: "He kissed my hair, my eyes, my mouth; he swept me off my feet with his love-making."

"Did you kiss him?" sharply demanded Hutton's attorney, Mark Jones.

Miss St. Pierre answered: "Mr Jones, that is a strange question. When one person kisses another, naturally the person that is kissed is also kissing the other. That's what a kiss is."

# # #

When Hutton seated his 223 pounds in the witness chair to deny Miss St. Pierre's accusations of incandescent love-making, he contradicted them, one by one, with the statement: "I did not!"

"Then," barked Miss St. Pierre's attorney, "you stand before this jury and testify you are the Great Unkissed?"

"Yes, sir," Hutton replied.

Hutton denied specifically that he had ever kissed Miss St. Pierre, hugged her, laid hands on her, addressed her in terms of endearment or offered to marry her.

He denied that he had sung to her a song that he composed just for her, entitled "My Love For You."

The big gospel singer was dressed nattily in white flannel trousers, gray coat, and livid blue tie. During his testimony he continued to pick at three bumps on his forehead. These were decorations he had won the day before in a skirmish with some bees.

The bees had stung Hutton while he was spending the day at the mountain retreat where Sister Aimee, his wife, was recovering from illness.

# # #

When the trial was over, Hutton summoned one of Angelus Temple's twelve-cylinder staff cars and hurried to the side of his wife, to be with her with the verdict came.

After arguing among themselves for six hours, the jurors returned a judgment of $5,000 in favor of Miss St. Pierre.

Miss St. Pierre said: "The verdict was exactly what I expected. I did not reckon with amounts as far as damages were concerned.

"All I wanted was to show the world what type of man this fellow is who married Aimee Mcpherson."

Hutton said: "It is a rank injustice and I mean to fight it out to the bitter end. I never made love to that girl—never even kissed her—it's all a nightmare!"

Mrs. F. B. Councill, one of the jurors, said: "We were for the girl from the beginning. There was never a doubt in my mind, nor in any other juror's mind. It was only a question of how much."

[spiltsoup]

Nobody asked but here are my explanations from top left to bottom right:

Joan Watson: Detective who solves crimes and protects people and puts up with Sherlock’s shit

Alex Munday: The Angels are a force for good but they’ve definitely taken lives lmao

Violet: Manic pixie dream girl who loves Neil but fucks with his perception of reality b/c she thinks it’s funny

Ling Woo: Not as evil as everyone thinks, has a good heart + is literally a lawyer in this essay I will

Rae Ann Carter: Literally just a Choose Your Own Adventure protagonist but all of the routes lead to heterosexuality

Sadie Blake: She kills a lot of people in brutal ways but they’re all bad guys

O-Ren Ishii: Yeah she’s a villian but she has her own morals and code of ethics

Pearl: Doesn’t care, just wants to dominate men, wear leather, and make bank

Kitty Baxter: Shows up, shoots three people, says “fuck you” to the media, gleefully kicks a guy in the balls and she’ll do it all again

Categorizing Lucy Liu characters by how much hate I think they hold in their hearts

[didyoutrydynamite]

I know this is a stupid request in many ways but could you do a little write up outside your AU cannon, where jaune is hit by a semblance of gender change (the effect lasts between 12 and 48 hrs depending on how much aura the person has affected) and the reaction of the girls and/or some other students of the academy?

Team JNRZ stands before General Ironwoods for a debriefing.

Ironwood: So you four were off doing your usual Patrols when you came across a disguised criminal that goes by the alias *squints at scroll* “Swapper O’ Swappy”, described as a Fox Faunus wearing a purple mask, gloves, and bandana around their neck. Small-time bank robber most known for using their unusual semblance in order to get the upper hand on any opponents that try to stop them in their crimes. I’m noticing a certain usage of pronouns, were we not able to gather a possible gender for the criminal?

Neon: *Grinning from ear to ear* Swapper appears to use their semblance to change their gender between every other robbery, so at one they’ll be a dude and the other they’ll be a chick.

Ironwood: *Quriks eyebrow* Hmm, a surprisingly clever way to cover their identity despite their obvious Faunus trait. Not to mention that this criminal managed to find a tactical usage in such a strange semblance. Changing an opponent's gender mid battle in order to confuse or embarrass them, including drastic changes in physicality that forces the target to quickly adjust or be taken advantage of. *Looks towards JNRZ leader* Guess that answers one of my questions…

Reese: *holding back laughter*

Ironwood: I guess the only question I really have left is why Ms. Arc is wearing a Bulwark uniform?

Neon: *wraps an arm around her blonde friend* A girl has to show off some leg, sir! A little something to get some heads turning~

Joan: *Blushing, trying to force her skirt down further* M-my usual clothes were too big for me and my teammates' regular clothes were all too small, General. S-so I went to Headmistress Cordovin for some extra clothes and this is what they had. I-I plan on taking a sick day until this blows over though-

Cordovin: Not so fast young lady! I have already had Nurse Dufresne inspect you in your new state and has given you a clean bill of health. You are in perfect condition to attend class, you’re even in uniform!

Joan: *Blushes even harder, thinking of being seen in public* Perfect condition? Perfect condition to become a laughing stock in front of the whole school!

Reese: *starts bursting out laughing* Please. PLEASE! Come with us to school today. I will literally do anything to see everyone else’s reaction.

Neon: Don’t worry babe! No one is going to be laughing when they see how cute you are! Right May Day~?

May: Huh? I-I wasn’t staring! *goes back to fidgeting with her beanie, trying to ignore how Joan ticked all of her preferences. Tall, kind eyes, pale skin, and dear gods, why did she have to wear a braided Ponytail?!?!* B-but it would be pretty fun to see how every treats you as a girl, if you want that is…

NRZ: *Pleading eyes*

Joan: *Eye twitch* Fine… But you three owe me big time!

=====

Qrow: *Stares blankly at Joan Arc*

Joan: *fidgets* G-good morning Professor Branwen.

Qrow: *Stares for a second more, before pouring his spiked coffee into a nearby potted plant* That’s enough for me today.

=====

Cardin: HAHAHAHAAH! Holy SHIT! No! This can not be happening!

Joan: *blushing hard* Alright, alright. Let it out! Ha-ha.

(2.5k)

At first, it was a secret. Fred had no intention of actually enjoying it. He had simply accepted the book Professor Lupin had lent him, thumbed through it, and stayed up all night to read it by accident.

Maybe it was because Lupin had seen the way Fred looked at you across the class, separated by hidden bloodlines and upbringings. You, with your muggle pens that you smuggled in. You, with your muggle records you used an entire bag to carry onto the train. You, with your muggle magazines that spread through the common room like wildfire. You, with those weird little things called cigarettes that you sold in your third year to the older students. You, with the way the older pureblood witches would sit and ask you to do their hair for them because only you could do all the newest muggle styles. You, with your reluctance to Quidditch but your love for soccer.

Fred was gone, absolutely gone for you. He was even more behind than usual in class because he couldn't help but find you with his eyes, no matter the room you were in or the distance between you both. Remus Lupin, the secret romantic, asked Fred to stay after class.

"Mr. Weasley," Professor Lupin called, feet kicked up on his desk while he levitated a novel wandlessly in front of him. A half-eaten apple rested on a napkin beside a chocolate wrapper and Fred was forced to remember the breakfast he had barely eaten, choosing to instead pretend he hadn't noticed the fact you had only sat a few seats away.

Fred stood in front of Lupin's desk, waiting as the room emptied out and George shot him a wink from the doorway.

"Yes, Professor?" Fred rocked on his feet, hands stuffed in the pockets of his robe. He tried not to wonder if you had noticed that he had been called behind, or if you had noticed him at all. He vaguely registered that this might what his brother would call 'pathetic'.

"You never turned in that essay on wandless defenses," Lupin said slowly, the book moving to rest on his desk as he moved his feet to the ground.

Fred was quiet, biting the inside of his cheek as he couldn't seem to recall the last time a teacher had bothered to talk to him about his assignments instead of deeming him a 'lost cause' or a student who 'simply wouldn't apply themselves'.

Professor Lupin sighed, moving again to stand. Fred thought he caught a flash of pain on the professor's face, perhaps a wince as he stood, but the moment was gone before Lupin was giving Fred a calculating and sympathetic glance.

"Do you need an extension?" Remus offered, leaning his hip against the desk and inclining his head to show Fred the importance of this offering.

"I'd appreciate that, Professor," Fred admitted.

They were silent again, Remus still looking at Fred like he was something to figure out. Remus shifted, eyes dropped to his desk and lips lifting.

"What's got you so preoccupied?"

Fred was blushing before he could think of a lie, and then he realized he didn't want to lie. He hadn't even told George about his crush on you- no doubt it was obvious. Fred had had flings and crushes on loads of girls, all fun and easy, but this felt heavier. He didn't want to have a fling with you.

"I guess-" Fred sighed, removing his hands from his robes and wiping them on his trousers, "I've just been distracted recently. A lot on my mind."

"Ah," Remus smiled fondly, nodding slowly.

A book began to move from a pile in the corner, elegantly and easily avoiding the tall stacks of clutter and various lumps of papers to levitate to Fred. Fred reached out for it, moving it in his hand to read the cover. Romeo and Juliet.

"I'll make you a deal, Fred," Professor Lupin said, his voice sounding so mischievous that Fred was surprised he hadn't become ten years younger right in front of him. "You can either write the essay on wandless defenses, or you can read that and write an essay on 'Romeo and Juliet'."

Fred thumbed through the book, eyebrows furrowed. He had never liked reading, most of the books at the Burrow belonged to Bill, Percy, or his father. He was pretty sure that George would find Fred reading Shakespeare to be just as funny as the time they released Cornish Pixies in the Slytherin changing rooms.

"Yeah, alright."

Fred managed to eat dinner that night, with you safely at the opposite end of the table. The curtains to his fourposter had been closed for hours and the light from his wand had been steadily bright for just as long. He had gone from laying on his back, head propped up beneath his arms, to resting his back against the headboard, to sitting upright in the center of his bed, head propped on his fist, to laying on his stomach, to laying on his back again with his head at the foot of his bed, and soon enough, the sun was flooding through a crack in the curtains. He had just finished Romeo and Juliet when he heard the showers starting.

"Lupin!"

Remus stopped and watched Fred catch up to him. He looked tired and simultaneously wide awake, his hair was a mess, and Remus was almost certain that he was wearing his pajama pants beneath his school robes.

"Mr. Weasley," Remus said cordially, continuing his walk to the greenhouse.

"I wanted to talk to you about that book you lent me-"

"Oh, you can keep it, if you'd like. I've read it dozens of times."

Fred hesitated, a wide smile spreading over his face, "Oh, thanks, Professor! It's just, I wanted to tell you I really liked it."

"You've finished it, then?" Remus asked with an impressed smile.

"Read it last night," Fred admitted, somewhat embarrassed.

"I look forward to the essay, then," Lupin said with a kind smile and a nod, turning into the greenhouses and leaving Fred in the corridor.

Inside his robes, he felt the weight of the tiny book against his chest. He kept it in a pocket there, fingers itching to hold it and read it again.

He couldn't help the roaring thoughts in his head. The idea that you were his Juliet, that you and he could find a hidden love, just for you two, amongst your external differences. He was oddly disappointed by the ending and decided he might not completely finish the book if he read it again, perhaps pretend it ended differently. He leaned his back against the stone wall behind him, fighting a blushing smile from his face.

So, Fred loved Shakespeare in secret. He loved reading in secret. He loved the weight of the book in his hands in secret. He loved the words and the phrases in secret. He loved the way it made him think in secret. He loved you in secret. He loved in secret.

Until you started dating Thomas Meadowbrooke. Thomas was a Ravenclaw, wickedly smart, handsome, kind, and the victim of many of the Weasley twins' pranks for a while. George didn't directly ask Fred why they were suddenly pranking this one boy so relentlessly all of a sudden, but he didn't need to.

Thomas wore blazers with patches on the elbows and combed his silky hair down the middle. He always had a flower in his coat pocket to give to you and he always carried a book of poetry with him. He was sensitive and wistful in all the ways girls loved, including you.

You thought Thomas was painfully boring. He would fawn over you in the most annoying ways, giving you poems that he wrote (horrendously awful, they were) and quoting lines from old and boring books to you. He didn't listen to Joan Jett or Janis Joplin and he cringed when you played your records. He suggested Bach or Debussy instead. He was boring.

You had only agreed to go out with him because he asked. Thomas Meadowbrooke may have been able to put a cornish pixie to sleep just by talking to it, but he was undeniably handsome. Well, he was more handsome before he had fallen victim to a particularly entertaining Weasley twin prank that turned his hair gelled and spiked up for a few days.

You broke up with Thomas soon after. He took it well, saying it gave him fuel to finish some poetry he hadn't been inspired enough for before.

Remus heard this gossip quite excitedly.

"She did, did she?" Remus tilted his head, a coy smirk on his lips.

The smell of fertilizer was strong, but he learned not to mind it as he watched the merry witch digging in various pots.

"He was quite heartbroken, the poor thing. Filius said that when he did routine bed checks, he could hear Thomas crying for weeks!" Professor Sprout sighed, patting down the soil and checking for weeds.

"Teen romance is always quite fickle," Remus commented, following Pomona as she moved to the next pot.

"Says you!" Pomona playfully scolded Remus, her red cheeks filling as she smiled.

Remus chuckled, thinking back to Sirius who would sneak into his office later to distract him from grading papers.

"You know, Pomona," Remus said in that voice of his, the one that got Sprout to drop her trowel and lean in close to hear the latest gossip. "I think Fred Weasley's got a bit of a crush on Y/n."

Pomona gasped, dirty hand flying to cover her mouth. She paused, scrunching up her face and sticking her tongue out to spit out the clump of dirt.

"He hasn't!" she continued, not minding Remus' amused smile and the clean rag he offered her to wipe her hands.

"He's always staring at her," Remus said, thinking on it. "I reckon he's quite the secret romantic."

Pomona cooed and awed as she continued to tend to her plants, she and Remus trading anymore gossip that they could think of.

The weather changed at quite a convenient time for Fred. With the slightly warm but still a bit chilled fall weather, Fred could dawn his lighter coats. His lighter coats that happened to have wonderfully shaped pockets on the inside, just the right size for a book.

Fred wondered if you had gone out with Thomas because Ravenclaw book nerds were your type, or if you had broken up with him because Ravenclaw book nerds weren't your type. Fred had spent almost all of the warm weather contemplating how he was going to continue to live if he was determined to remain secretly in love with you. By fall he had figured it out.

Fred wasn't going to hide anything, not the books he had recently begun to love, or the way he loved so strongly. He wasn't going to miss meals because you were so distracting. He wasn't going to suffocate under his crush on you.

It was a beautiful day. George was up in the dorms with Lee working on a prank and Fred had decided to take a walk down to the Black Lake. His lighter coat was a bit heavier because of the book in the pocket, and Fred pushed his hair out of his eyes as he looked down at the ground to avoid stepping on tree roots. He found a nice spot beneath a tree, resting against the trunk and reading.

"Hey, Fred," a voice called, coming closer as they easily avoided the maze of tree roots.

Fred looked up to see you, in those perfect muggle clothes you wore any chance you could, hair styled in that wonderful muggle way, one of those muggle cigarettes tucked behind your ear, walking towards him.

"Hey," he responded, surprised by how easy his voice sounded.

"Have you been reviewing at all for Lupin's?" You sat next to Fred like it was the easiest thing in the world, brushing your shoulder against his.

"No, not really," Fred closed his book with his thumb tucked between the pages saving his spot.

"Mmm," you hummed, leaning your head back against the tree and closing your eyes. "What're you reading?"

"Romeo and Juliet," Fred replied, looking at your profile while he had the chance.

"Didn't think that was your thing," you said playfully, opening one eye to catch Fred looking at you.

He flushed and turned his gaze to his hands in his lap. "Me neither," he admitted, swallowing.

"I always liked ‘The Taming of the Shrew’, personally."

Fred smiled to himself, because of course, you had also read Shakespeare, and of course, you would have a cool favorite.

"I like that one, too," Fred said lamely, enjoying the way you were smiling at him.

By winter, Fred had devised a plan. It was perfect, more perfect than any prank he had created or any Zonko's product he had bought. He would die if he kept all this love to himself, so he decided all he needed was one kiss.

The Yule Ball was in full swing, the classical and slow music long forgotten as everyone moved to the dance floor and rocked to the loud and fast rhythm. Fred had seen you when you first arrived, noticing with glee that you were alone, and hadn't lost sight of you since. He had removed himself from the heavily crowded dance floor, stumbling to the table with the juice he and George had spiked hours earlier. He loosened the collar of his robes and pushed his already disheveled hair out of his face.

You watched Fred move through the crowd like a tornado, a mass of energy that you felt required to look at and admire. He strode to the table, a quiet and self-satisfied smirk on his lips as he took a long sip of punch.

Fred caught you staring at him with pleasant unexpectedness. You looked just as beautiful as you did when the night started, skin glowing and everything dawned upon you with your magical muggle-ness. Fred put his cup down, a comfortable pink hue warming his cheeks, and approached you. He touched his hand to yours.

"Hey, Fred," you said with an entertained smirk, glancing down at his hand on yours.

"I need you to do me a favor," he slurred, voice easy and breath warm as it landed on your skin.

"What kind of favor?"

"I need you to kiss me," Fred pulled his mouth away from your ear, looking to your face.

He didn't have much of an opportunity, though, before your lips were on his and you stole his breath. He tasted of the spiked punch and his hands were trembling and careful as they rested on your waist. You grabbed a fistful of his robes, pulling him close to you with urgency.

He pulled away, lips red and swollen, with his eyes still closed.

"I need you to do me a favor," you said, mouth hovering above his.

"Yeah?"

"Kiss me," you whispered, just loud enough for Fred to hear.

He listened, and held onto you with less trembling and more confidence as you kissed for the second time.

In between his regular attempts to bring Joan out of her shell, Eric usually spent his free time with his closest friends. Sometimes, the boys would all stroll around the village together; other times, however, they would find a place to sit and spend their afternoons talking and joking with each other.

Lately, though, things had begun to change for the group of young lads. Having grown older and taller, they had managed to attract the attention of the local girls, who all swooned over them. Eric’s friends loved the attention, and flirted with the girls whenever they came by.

Eric, however, was reluctant to join his friends in their attempts to woo the girls - after all, he still had feelings for his old friend Jean. These days, though, he had begun to realise that Jean was no longer a part of his life. She was in Windenburg now, and she was never coming back.

Knowing this, Eric decided to join in the fun, and asked one of the girls - a bright-eyed blonde named Peggy - to join him and his friends for a walk on the beach one day.
