Ever Since New York

Part 2 of Meet Me in the Hallway

Leah Williamson x Styles!Reader

Warnings:Angst hidden relationships, lots of sighing

You hummed into Leah’s chest as she brushed her hand through your hair the two of you wrapped up on her couch watching The Arsenal boys against Southampton, you loved these moments the mundane couple things where you were able to forget that you lived four hours away and rarely saw each other unless it was through a phone or you had a free day to drive down to her for a few hours. You smiled hearing Leah whisper a quite yes as the boys took the offence “if they don’t win this one Le they will prove themselves to be absolutely shite.” Leah squeezed you slightly “hey United are just as bad “you shook your head “yeah but we have a trophy in our collection that’s younger then 20 years old.” Leah laughed squeezing you again huffing as Arsenal lost the ball. This was the few times in the last few months where it had been just the two of you, both being called up to the Olympic squad didn’t mean you got to spend time with your blonde lover instead you both kept your interactions to a minimum so this right here was bliss until it wasn’t.

You groaned lifting your head from Leah’s chest as you answered the phone “hi Harry.” Leah watched concerned as you sat up abruptly “how did you know I’m in London.” You looked at Leah panicked “just a friend H from the national team.” Leah sat up before getting off the couch and standing in front of you. “Yeah I can call around in an hour.” You looked at Leah “stay the night.” You felt your heart sink as you watched Leah nod her head, you didn’t want to stay at your brothers you wanted to stay at hers this was the only break you where getting for the next few weeks and you wanted to spend as much of it with her as possible. Sighing you agreed “yeah H I’d love to I’ll see you soon alright.” Hanging up the phone you began getting your shoes on as Leah looked at you confused “hey where are you going you told him an hour love.” You looked at Leah “I am not in the mood for this conversation right now I’ll see you in a few weeks ok.” Leah looked at you confused “but Y/n..” you shook your head “I’ll text you when I get there, I love you.” You kissed her goodbye before jumping in the car to head to Harry.

Harry to his kindness never asked which national team mate you where visiting simply talking about his up coming shows in New York titled “Harryween.” Before you both decided to watch a movie and just relax, we’ll try to relax you instead sat picking at your fingers thinking about your girlfriend who lived less than an hour away.

You hadn’t seen Leah in since you left her that night to stay at Harry’s but you had been talking daily trying to organise your schedules so you could drive down to London to spend time together only something always came up “sorry can’t do this weekend Arsenal girls are going out.” Or “sorry love not this weekend family thing, event I have to go to with Al, family night with the Arsenal.” The list went on and you felt yourself hating your hidden relationship more than before.

You where sat in your Mums house for a small family dinner, it was one of the rare occasions you all seemed to be in the same place as Harry was home, Gemma wasn’t working and you didn’t have a match. Harry cleared his throat before looking at you excitedly “so you know how my team and I came up with the plan to do HarryWeen.” You hummed in acknowledgment focused on cutting your roast potatoes “well my team checked your schedule for October and you’re free to fly out for it so.” You looked up at Harry “so what H.” Harry rolled his eyes “so will you come over to New York.” You looked at him eyebrows raised in surprise “I don’t know Harry I don’t know what the plans are for Halloween yet with the girls.” Truth was you had been hinting at Leah that you wanted to spend it with her “Invite them.” You nearly chocked on your dinner “what.” Harry nodded “invite the girls, even your national squad if you want.” You looked to your mum then Gemma “oh that would be lovely Ella, Alessia, Chloe and Alex. I agree darling invite them.” You sighed dropping your fork to rub your head, they would love to go you knew that but it was Leah you wanted to see not them. “Yeah I’ll ask.” As if on cue your phone rang as you flipped it over to see the photo of you and Leah staring back at you “sorry I have to take this I’ll be back in a minute.”

“Hey Le.” Leah sighed happily down the phone “god I miss you.” You smiled sitting on the stairs “I miss you too, what’s up are you ok.” Leah began talking about the match she had just finished playing a match you had recorded back in your apartment to watch later but nevertheless you sat happily listening to her talk about it. You began picking at the carpet as you worked up the nerve to ask “Hey Le.” Leah hummed softly telling you she was listening “Harry was just talking about his show in New York next month and eh well he said our schedules are free and asked if I wanted to invite some of the eh the girls over like you know El, Less, Chloe and Al and I was..well I was wondering if you wanted to maybe come over too you know to see him perform.” “Y/n.” Leah tried to speak but you couldn’t let her to scared of what she would say “I could introduce you this time like you wanted and you I mean you could even invite Kiera and Georgia that way it’s not just you so it’s less suspicious with the girls and all.” “Y/n” you hummed this time halting your speech “I would love to, I’ll text the girls now ok, Halloween with my girl in New York sounds cool.” You smiled happily “yeah.” Leah laughed “yeah.” You let out a breath you didn’t know you where holding “ok cool, ehm listen I have to get back to the table but I love you and I’ll text you later.” Leah laughed at how excited you sound “ok go on I’ll text the girls now and ask, I love you pretty girl.” You stood up on the stairs and squealed happily at the thought of Leah coming to New York with you as you went and sat back with your family. Harry laughed looking at you “what’s got you so happy.” You shrugged “New York.”

You had excitedly texted the girls that night asking if they all wanted to come to New York for the concert as well as a small shopping trip before texting them back when Harry said he was going to give you his jet for it before excitedly texting Leah “oh my god Le Harry said we can use his jet for New York.” Leah sighed looking at the text “cool.” You texted back immediately “maybe we could sit together, only if you’re comfortable with it.” Leah’s head shot up as her mum spoke “who’s texting you that you can’t listen to a word I’m saying.” Leah rolled her eyes “just one of the girls asking if I wanted to go to New York, I have to check.” Amanda hummed “which girl.” Leah shook her head “one of them god mum stop snooping.”

As the days grew closer to your departure date your family couldn’t help but smile at your excitement, it’s the first time they had seen you this excited in a while. The plan had been set weeks ago you, Ella, Less, Chloe, and Alex would all stay at your house and leave for the airport together and meet your Mum and Sister in New York, you had texted Leah the plan but she simply said she would stay at Kiera’s and that Georgia was going to stay with them.

You had all gotten up at 4 am happily getting yourselves ready for the airport texting Leah updates before squeezing into the car Harry had sent to get you. You shot one last text to Leah telling her you were leaving and that you would see her shortly. After arriving at the airport you all got on the plane and sat waiting patiently for the last three girls, it was a surprise for the rest of the girls who were coming. An hour later Ella groaned “Y/n we have been waiting for ages come on your other friends aren’t coming.” You looked down at your phone again, all your texts had been left on delivered since you got up and you had tried calling her 15 times but to no avail, finally it was when the captain came out that you agreed to leave.

Landing in New York you turned on your phone to see a text from Leah stating her and the girls had slept through their alarms and where so sorry but they arranged to get a flight that would land 6pm New York time. Sighing you got in the car to drive to the Hotel before leaving to meet up with your Mum and Sister at a restaurant. “Come on Y/n cheer up we made it and your friends are on the next flight out.” You nodded along to Chloe’s words “right ok yeah let’s go.” Sitting in the restaurant with your mum you couldn’t help but keep checking the time on your phone. “Hey im going to head to the airport to meet the girls arriving in I’ll meet you all back at the hotel ok.” The girls all wished you goodbye as you hoped back into the black Cadillac to the airport. You texted Leah “hey you never sent your flight details, I’m guessing T1 I’ll see you soon, I don’t think I’ve said it yet, but thank you for doing this I love you Le.”

You stood excitedly at the welcome gate ready to wrap your girlfriend in a hug before your other friends. You sighed checking your phone as it read 6:45 before googling flights arriving into JFK only to see that the 6pm flight had in fact landed already and they should have been out ages ago, shaking your head you decided to text Leah again “hey love, did you girls get lost??.” You decided this time to also text Kiera “hey Kie, did you guys get lost on the way out, where are u??.” You looked up as more strangers emerged from the airport but still couldn’t see the trio before looking back at your phone as it buzzed “Y/n wtf are you talking about get lost where.” You frowned in confusion before typing Keira back “Getting lost in JFK in New York, Leah said your guys flight landed at 6pm.” You watched as the bubbles appeared on screen “eh wtf why would I be in New York, Y/n are you sure you’re texting the right girl.” Your breath hitched as you stared at your phone “Keira where are you.” You felt tears begin to prick your eyes “I’m in Manchester, with Lucy, Leah hasn’t texted me in a few days.” You shook your head, deciding to call Leah but of course it went straight to voice mail, you let out a huff as you began to speak “Le, darling I’m..I’m not mad I promise I just…what’s going on..please Le..Keira said you never said anything to her about New York…I just..Le please call me..I’m sorry if I pushed you to fast just let me know your ok…. We can organise to see each other when I get back…I love you…Le god do I love you.” You hung up the phone before turning to head back to the driver.

You couldn’t wait for New York but now all you wanted was for this trip to end.

Terrible Fic Ideas #20: LotR, but make it First Age!Legolas (2.0)

The more I think about this idea, the more I love the idea of Legolas being one of the oldest elves left in Middle Earth by the time the events of The Lord of the Rings take place.

It does, however, involve creating a lot of back story for Legolas and his family that doesn't exist.

I've seen fan!backstory for Thranduil make his father Oropher the younger brother of Galadhon, Celeborn's father - thereby making the royal family of Mirkwood descendants of Elmo and cousins to Celeborn, Celebrían, and Elrond's brood.

I, however, prefer the idea that Oropher and the rest have only tangental relations to the important elves of the First Age. Mainly, that Oropher's sister was Galadhon's wife, keeping the kinship between Celeborn and Thranduil, but making their claims to kingship in Mirkwood that much more presumptuous.

As I said before, I also love the idea of Legolas being born as his family flees Doriath in 506 of the First Age.

To make the whole situation as painful as possible, give him an older sister in the Doriath guard, who died in the fighting the same day as he was born.

Give his mother and maternal grandmother high positions in the guard as well. His mother was obviously unable to fight due to her pregnancy and feels guilty about this for the rest of her life, while his grandmother was captain of Elwë's personal guard and died with her king when he refused to pay the dwarves for the Nauglamír four years before.

Legolas, his parents, and his paternal grandparents spend some time at the Havens of Sirion with the other survivors of Falls of Doriath and Gondolin. I love the idea of young!Legolas meeting barely older Eärendil there, if only because it introduces the whole my old childhood friend is now a star issue to cope with.

Although only 40 years old at the start of it, Legolas and the rest of his family fight in the War of Wrath. I imagine Legolas watching his mother die on the battlefield there, though his father and grandparents - who I all imagine for some reason as being apprentices of Melian - survive.

In the Second Age, Oropher leads the remnants of his family and some followers east, eventually winding up in the Greenwood. Rather than conquer the local Silvan population and make themselves king, I rather like the idea that the Silvans chose them as kings - either out of a strangers from far away being elevated to kingship narrative that happens in RL every so often, or because they'd rather live their lives in their trees and left dealing with foreigners to other foreigners.

Legolas adapts to being a prince not at all, and spends a lot of time hunting orcs and the like outside the borders of Greenwood until the War of the Last Alliance. I picture his paternal grandmother dying in the fighting there, leading Oropher to throw his life away in the Battle of Dagorlad.

At the start of the Third Age, Legolas and Thranduil are all that's left of their family. More than most other elves, death haunts their line - but even so, they've never quite learned how to cope with it.

Legolas caries on as before, hunting orcs and spiders, and rather than any of the movie nonsense falls into the Battle of Five Armies on accident, having followed and harried the host from Gundabad until they took the field.

I also imagine Legolas' reason for being in Rivendell for the Council to be somewhat different - he found himself west of the Misty Mountains and hoped to winter there, but instead was drawn into the fellowship because, as the elves say, he is a child of war. He was introduced to death and destruction too early; for all he loves his adopted forest, he's most at ease fighting the darkness that he was born into.

I go back and forth on how much of the fellowship I want to be aware of Legolas' great age and background and at what point any learn the truth, but I want little bits of it to slip out regardless of how everyone around him choses to interpret it.

Most important, however, is that after 6000+ years is the fact that Legolas doesn't learn how to cope with death until he spends time around mortals.

I also want to play into the whole lust is something elves only feel for the person they fall in love with, which happens only once thing. Because I love the idea of Legolas seeing Gimli in Rivendell before the council and just... falling head over heels and having no earthly idea what is happening to him or how to deal with it.

I also have this idea that Legolas is just horrible with directions, which is how he ends up on the wrong side of the mountains in Rivendell to begin with - mostly because his memories of these places are thousands of years old and landscapes have changed since he was last there, so he keeps looking for landmarks that aren't there anymore.

His relationship with Thranduil is also complicated and tinged with grief, and the suggestion that, as much as Thranduil loves his son, there is distance between them because they're always preparing to lose the other, as they've lost everyone else important to them.

But otherwise: 1) a lot of Legolas learning how how to cope with death and romantic attraction, both deeply intertwined with the other because his love is mortal; 2) Gimli having to make nearly every move in their relationship because Legolas is utterly clueless; 3) exasperated Aragorn watching all of this from the sidelines like a soap opera he has become invested in against his will; 4) the immense, inescapable weight of history echoing in everything from the last time I was here... to stealing boats has never gone well for elves.

So, yes, mostly just expansion upon the original idea and a whole bunch of things I would want to include if I had the time, energy, or willpower to do a LotR fic justice, but I had to share. As always, feel free to adopt the bunny, just let me know.

Rewriting the Race

Prepare to flaunt your choice of which abomination you think should be head of state for an eternal four years.  A republic offers opportunities to flaunt free will.  The AI revolution is here as we’re forced to accept grotesque imitations vaguely representing a warped version of humanity.  Tricky thinking machines made human counterparts decide between self-parodies.

Caricature candidates aren’t as fun as the booth at the fair would have us believe.  Maybe we should try dune buggies.  Our cursed decision will be amongst hopefuls who are all prominent without deserving the acclaim that comes from a worthwhile candidate following them back.

One day of fame would be too much for each.  The sickening portrayal of each of their respective roles shows politics at its worst, which is ruefully amusing for an election with the most inside outsiders possible.  Don’t indulge messianic tendencies by seeing them as they want.  Feeding egos of the worst possible choices is a role we don’t need to endorse.  Spot fellow patriots with They Live sunglasses, which they’ll also be wearing.

Unearned wealth is a sure sign of not being connected.  An alternative who’s as contemptible as the mainstream competitors brings thoroughness.  A different take on equality makes everyone miserable.  This era is full of new approaches, amongst other seemingly innocuous things.

Determining which superficial style of subjecting eager subjects to tyranny appeals to you is the trendy personality test.  Decide if you want to align with conventional liberals spending your money very wisely in a way you never imagined, a new style of conservatism where Americans get bullied by an overbearing government in front of a flag while Lee Greenwood sings, or extracting fluoride from drinking water and sending it into space so Big Vaccine can’t recapture it to poison us.  Expanding power in order to maintain control would be awful if one of those other two did it.  Trust the one person who wants to confiscate autonomy to help you in your life.

Getting wealthy off whatever policies he pursues is how Democrats use politics to benefit the unfortunate.  Diamond Joe Biden's externally-appointed heir Kamala Harris shares the common trait of possessing a fortune despite never creating value.  Cynics call it corruption, which is just a fancy word used by those not clever enough to grift.  Ripping off the productive in order to enrich himself shows how the aspiring replacement thinks everyone else is also a parasitic schemer.

Kamala’s current boss relinquished the title when enough of the committee that runs the White House badgered him about his brain going off the rails like one of his beloved choo-choos. The mob family’s technical patriarch just wanted to ensure his bequest to America by ensuring any successor would pimp the same toxic ideology. Substitute teacher Mrs. Harris won’t bring a new lesson plan.

Kamala is not going to do anything undignified like working.  That icky option is for people who don’t screw their way into politics.  Besides, what would she do?  There’s nothing impossible like Harris creating something valuable.  The inability of the grabby party to grasp basic interactions leads to poverty and theft, which don’t even mesh on account of how few possessions there are to steal.  Flaunting their belief in empathy as overcompensation is as old as the erstwhile candidate outflanked out of the election.

The aspiring supplicant isn’t a leader, businessman, conservative, hero, inspirer, achiever, or advancer.  But he is a telemarketer, so he’s in the right business.  Donald Trump appeals to the bloc that still has landlines.  The perpetual hopeful yells at another household member to answer.

Someone of Trump’s age who shares his distaste for learning anything new feels he is the voice of a generation.  The question of how anyone could still be falling for him is has the same answer as why timeshares remain a business.  This is the least slick seduction yet.

It’s hard to mock royalty while the least deserving family maintains power despite being wholly unqualified.  The junior Robert Kennedy remains the prototypical entitled brat no matter how old he gets.  A combination of leftist lunacy with lunatic conspiracies is the genie’s take on a challenge to the establishment as he laughs about the granted wish.  Privilege’s embodiment is paranoid about all the wrong things, which is such a Kennedy move.

There’s finally an alternative when voters have never more craved looking just a bit lower on the ballot.  We just couldn’t get to back someone from a family nobody’s ever heard of to become executive.�� The late-model Kennedy continues the clan’s bootlegging tradition by ripping off deranged notions in order to avoid productivity.

We already know.  Of the woeful triumvirate, not one deserves to water your plants.  One has been in politics for as long as he’s been in business for as long as he’s been the son of a nepotism beneficiary.  The combined 150 years in the public exposure has led to consistently regrettable knowledge.  Each gets worse the more we learn.  This is not the sort of bipartisan amity that’s typically envisioned.

Dread is the worst when it’s predictable.  Sure, it’s not fun when woe sneaks up on us and throws us into its panel van.  But the jolt is outweighed by a rather uncomfortable predictability.

Details about each unfortunate competitor offer the worst sort of spoilers.  Feel free to decline.  You don’t owe anyone any vote, which is a notion that outrages cults.  Siphoning off an equal quantity of tallies from all of them outrages the worst assortment of swamp goons.

Self-proclaimed enemies of politics ensure this is the most political race possible.  Doing the opposite of what’s claimed is as perfect for elections as it is 2024.  Obnoxious shills for inane fictional machinations thought they were eschewing traditional corruption.  Cultists prefer getting ripped off by those who proclaim they’re clean.  The biggest phonies imaginable usually isn’t a surprise in this miserable arena.  A professed opposition to it is this year’s twist.

Lousy primary outcomes offer the chance to use old school technology.  The chance to use a pen is just one of the fun parts of voting for anyone you prefer.  It’s so easy to write someone in that even Democrats could figure it out.

A choice of millions just takes one filled oval.  Americans who didn’t even realize it are running for president.  The luxury of three whole candidates feels indulgent, but decadent comrades could flaunt disgust with a chunk of votes for anyone else.

Sam Hunt at Shoreline Amphitheater

When did country music become OK?

This was at top of mind as I attended a concert at Shoreline Amphitheater featuring Lily Rose, Brett Young, and Sam Hunt. I didn’t know any songs from any of them, and I was only an alternate to attend the concert. The wife’s friend had to put down her dog at the last minute, so I was pressed into duty.

And it was great fun.

The year of the concert has pushed all kinds of boundaries for us both, but just a few months ago, I never would have imagined I would be attending my third country concert of the year. Back in the 80s and 90s, I would use the word “hate” if asked about country music. Having a country music-loving girlfriend, later wife, will ensure you will get an earful of it. But I think the transition from hate, to tolerance, to 3 concerts in about month didn’t happen just because of that.

There are a few songs and acts that acted as the gateway to tolerance. I think it started with The Chicks’ cover of the legendary Fleetwood Mac song, Landslide. I actually bought album just for that song, and I really glommed onto a couple other tracks from it… particularly Traveling Soldier. Next up were some KOIT radio standards in the mid-aughts: Lady A’s Need You Now and Just A Kiss. I listened to When I Die Young by The Band Perry and Taylor Swift’s early stuff on a loop, and I absolutely loved when Mark Knopfler teamed up with Emmylou Harris for All The Roadrunning and the incredible song This Is Us.

But the real turning point was probably when I went to Nashville with the wife and her friends for a birthday celebration. Being immersed in that city with music pouring out into the street from every bar was a revelatory experience. We arrived on July 4th in the middle of street party with the main drag blocked off for a live concert, thousands of people thronging the street.

There were aspiring musicians everywhere: in every bar, street corner, and hotel lobby. There was even a blonde lady singing country and trying to rap in the café gift shop after touring the Ryman.

We also went to a show at the Grand Old Opry, which turned out to be a delightful mix of bluegrass, newbie country acts, and a fiercely jingoistic performance by Lee Greenwood. While I didn’t love all the music, it was the overall experience that sticks with me.

Flash forward to concert at the Shoreline, I was again fully immersed in the experience, if not the music. Lily Rose was really cool. Her own music was solid, and she sang some famous songs to warm up the crowd. Brett Young shared his own fond memories of attending shows at Shoreline from when he was a student, and the one song he sang 10 different ways was ok.

Sam Hunt shared some hilarious stories, particularly how he fell in love with his wife in the back of cop car, before singing his song about falling in love in the back of a cop car. But the image that sticks with the most was the video backdrop to one song whose name I didn’t catch. The video displayed a house at dusk alone in a field, with hundreds of fireflies lighting up the tableau.

I used to live on the east coast for high school, and I hated it there. I’ve long said that the only things I miss from the east coast are thunderstorms and warm rain. But the fireflies in the video were a reminder that there were other cool parts of living on the east coast, things that are never present or possible in California.

Yet I never gained appreciation for country music when I lived in the near south, and it look falling in love with a country-music loving San Francisco native to make it possible.

Today on Fanfics I Never Wrote:

I’m having thoughts about Charmed (2018). It was delightful. I’m sad it’s over. I’m surprised there are currently only 6 fics with the Abby/Harry tag or the Kaela Danso tag, shocked there is no tag for Harry Greenwood’s Ass, and I’m sad there are zero fics about Harry’s adventures in the Magical Interdimensional Blockbuster!

I’m only interested in Abby/Harry before he got together with Macy because Hacy is my OTP and besides I want Harry’s hookups with Abby to feel like neither of them are with the right person or the person they truly want. I want it to have ‘so wrong it’s hot’ vibes. I imagine this fic should alternate between each of their perspectives so we can hear how they’re feeling and what/who they’re thinking about, and there should be some reference to his ass because he didn’t wear all those fitted trousers for nothing.

I want to read Adventures in Magical Interdimensional Blockbuster! I want to read Harry’s adventures with the lady who works in the MIB, and like, him and Kaela should team up in there and bond more. The dynamic between Harry and Kaela is interesting because there are so many strong emotions, there’s a push and pull there. I do not ship them.

Gif of Harry and Macy kissing because I couldn’t find one of that one time he and Abby kissed.

The Charmed Ones helping you with your depression

You had been quieter in the past few days.

You weren't as bubbly as you used to be. You engaged less.

You still - sort of - did your main jobs and lived your life, but you missed out on some things.

Your sisters definitely noticed.

Maggie may have the power of empathy, but she didn't need it to know something was going on.

But she knew her sisters and harry knew it too.

And, well, they never left family to fight on their own.

At first, it was small things: Extra checking in on looks and asking if you were ok or needed anything.

Maggie would give extra tight and long hugs, sometimes using her inception power on you to try to help.

She would also go to Jordan to see if he had any tips that would help.

Whether he does or doesn't, he too wants to help you. You're his friend after all.

Macy and Harry would double-check your tea every time, making sure it was just the way you liked it. Not that he didn't anyway, he just triple-checked now.

Macy herself would try to use science to help her figure out how to help you.

"Well, it's a chemical imbalance. So, I was thinking --"

"Macy, as much as I want to help, Y/N, we aren't robbing a store."

"What? No, Harry, that isn't what I meant."

She tries potion after potion. Along with wanting to spend more time with you, walking with you to the school, and going Safe Space - sometimes just the two of you and sometimes as a group.

Mel would try to find things to help with some local charities. That, and take you out to marches for Mental Health.

She also tries to encourage for you to go out more on marches with her.

"I could use my sibling there, Y/N. Just like old times."

And, it does - at times - seem to be working. You talk a bit more, you seem a bit more engaged. You seem to be trying to be more outgoing.

But, Maggie is the one who can tell that while it sort of helps, it isn't enough. It hurts them, as all they want to do is help you. But they know they can do so much, and that your battle is your own, and all they can is stand by you.

You, however, have caught onto what they're doing.

And you appreciate the effort, but your brain tells you otherwise. That it's just out of pity, that you're wasting their time.

When you go to breakfast the next day, it starts out of usual; they greet you warmly and you all eat.

But then, you clear your throat, trying to make yourself say the words you've thought of whilst you made your way downstairs, "I know what you guys are doing...you don't have to."

The four instantly protest, "Of course we do. We care about you." This is the general theme of their talking points as they all overlap.

"Guys, it's fine really. I'm sure there'll be a demon you guys can actually destroy today anyway. Seriously, go, I'll be fine." You don't sound fine. You don't sound sure. You all know what it is. What you're truly saying. And it crushes them.

Then, just as you'd predicted, they're needed to help save a witch in need.

They want to help the sibling they have in need here, but they also have their duty.

As the three go, Harry stays with you. And he notices how you've already gone back up to your bedroom.

He follows up, respectfully knocking on the door.

He enters the room, sitting at the foot of your bed, watching you as you curl up, "I'm sorry, Harry."

"For what?" He asks, keeping his voice soft.

"For just...letting it get like this. I don't know what caused it. I -- I just...I don't know."

He nods, "Sometimes it just sneaks up on us, Y/N. I'm just sorry there isn't more I can do."

You nod, "I know. But I don't think this is something we can just wish away."

The three protect the Witch, but she keeps them at bay, "How can we help?" Macy asks, making sure they keep back. The demon already vanquished.

"Just -- stay back. I don't. Say something, anything. Please. I just, need someone to listen or talk or something."

They do, they assure the Witch about the demon and that she is safe. And also listen to her as she tells them about how they got there.

Once they knew she was safe, they go back home. Now knowing of another way to try to help. To listen.

They call out when they see you aren't in the Kitchen, and Harry descends the stairs, "Y/N is upstairs. I'm going to make us some tea. But I think they need you." He emphasizes the "need you" part. And they know what he means.

So, together, the sisters go up the stairs and knock on your door.

"Hey," Mel says, with her and Maggie sitting next to you on either side, and Macy going near the foot of your bed.

"We're sorry. We didn't mean to overwhelm or make it seem like pity. But, we're here." Macy continues.

"We're here for you, however you need us," Maggie concludes, holding your hand and squeezing it. You smile at her a bit, and she mirrors it.

It's how Harry finds you. And he knows that they - himself and everyone else you people call friends - will do all they can.

Because they care about you.

Because you matter to them.

[thebisexualdogdad]

Can you do a charmed imagine where your masturbating and you call Harry's name and he appears thinking you need him. How would he react?

· Ever since you met Harry he became a constant reoccurance in your fantasies

· You made sure not to call out his name since it is apart of his job to appear when you say his name

· But this time you couldn't help his name falling from your lips while you were touching yourself

· "you called?"

· "Shit Harry!"

· "Oh Y/N... My apologies... I didn't realize..."

· You grabbed a pillow and threw it over your crotch

· "Do you often think about me... When you touch yourself?"

· Was Harry hitting on you?

· "Maybe I could make your fantasies a reality"

· Yep he was definitely hitting on you

· He got on his knee's and gave you a blowjob

· It was the first time of many that you two would end up having sex

Mohamed Salah and Sam Kerr Win PFA Player of the Year Awards

Liverpool’s Salah beats last year’s winner Kevin De Bruyne

Phil Foden and Lauren Hemp retain young player awards

The Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been voted the Professional Footballers’ Association’s men’s player of the year, with Chelsea’s Sam Kerr collecting the women’s award.

The Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden retained the PFA young player of the year award, with the club’s forward Lauren Hemp named the women’s best young player for the third consecutive season.

Salah topped the poll, which was voted for by PFA members, ahead of Kevin De Bruyne, who had won for the previous two years and was an integral part of the City team that beat Liverpool to the Premier League title by one point.

The Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo and the Tottenham striker Harry Kane had also made the shortlist, along with Salah’s Liverpool teammates Virgil van Dijk and Sadio Mané.

The 2021-22 PFA Premier League Team of the Year

This is Salah’s second PFA player of the year trophy after he previously won in 2018. This season he helped Jürgen Klopp’s side to win the Carabao and FA Cups, and to reach the Champions League final, where they lost to Real Madrid.

The Egypt international Salah, who finished as the Premier League’s joint top scorer alongside Tottenham’s Son Heung-min with 23 goals, was announced as the PFA men’s player of the year at a virtual ceremony on Thursdayyesterday.

“It’s a great honour to win a trophy, individual or collective, and this one is big, so very happy and very proud of that,” said Salah, who was also voted the men’s footballer of the year by the Footballer Writers’ Association.

“This one is a really good one to win, especially because it’s voted by players. It shows you that you’ve worked really hard and you get what you worked for. I have my room with trophies in a cabinet and I made sure that I had another space for one more. I always keep space and just try to imagine that the trophies are going to come.”

The PFA Young Players of the Year, Phil Foden (Top) and Lauren Hemp, both of Manchester City (Bottom).

Kerr scored 20 goals for Chelsea to be top scorer in the FA Women’s Super League, helping Emma Hayes’s team win the domestic double after beating Manchester City in the FA Cup final. “It’s a massive honour whenever you’re voted by your peers. I think that’s the highest honour as a player, so it’s an amazing feeling,” said Kerr, who was also named the FWA’s women’s footballer of the year.

Arsenal’s Dutch forward Vivianne Miedema and her Gunners teammate Kim Little were also on the PFA shortlist along with Manchester City’s Alex Greenwood and Hemp as well as Chelsea’s Pernille Harder.

Foden, 22, topped an all-England shortlist on the men’s young player award. The Arsenal midfield duo Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe, Conor Gallagher, who spent the season on loan at Crystal Palace from Chelsea, the Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey and the Chelsea full-back Reece James were also nominated.

“I’m really honoured, to be honest, especially to win it back-to-back, it shows that I’ve come a long way this year with the consistency of my game,” Foden said. “Hopefully I can win the main award in the future, but it’s all about taking small steps and improving.”

Hemp, meanwhile, is the first person to win the PFA young player of the year award four times. The Chelsea forward Lauren James, Arsenal’s Norwegian star Frida Maanum, the Tottenham striker Jessica Naz, the Manchester United forward Ella Toone and the Brighton defender Maya Le Tissier made up the rest of the shortlist.

The One & Only Mohammad Salah

“It’s an honour to get this again. I think especially for it to be voted for by players that I’ve played against and come up against,” said the 21-year-old Hemp. “I look to many of them as role models as well so it’s an honour to be picked from them. I’m going to keep working hard to make sure that I continue on the right path.”

The 2022 PFA merit award saw two former England managers honoured, with Roy Hodgson and Hope Powell acknowledged for their outstanding contributions to football.

“I never won any trophies as a player unfortunately, so it is nice to be recognised by fellow professionals. It will have pride of place,” said Hodgson, 74, who left his role with Watford at the end of the season having taken over in January.

Powell, who is the Brighton women’s manager, added: “I feel lucky and blessed to be in the game after many years.”
