.OT13.

> Click a Prince ❤️‍🔥 💕

Curse your bullshit destiny. It was decided that on the 100th anniversary of peace in your kingdom, the eldest princess would marry a prince from the other thirteen kingdoms. That day has finally arrived and thirteen princes have gathered. Who will you pick?

> Mirror Stage 💔

If his math is correct, and he sorely doubts it isn’t, then it’s almost time for them to wake. The clock is ticking. He’s waiting.

> AU ideas from the FEAR teasers

5 AU ideas that popped into my mind from the teasers. 

.S.COUPS.

> Blinded 💕 

This isn’t what Seungcheol meant for Jun to do. 

> Trauma 💔

Again? Again. They said to each other as they started the simulation again. 

> Friendship? 💔 💕

He liked you. But no. You liked him. But no. They knew. So why not help a friend out?

.JEONGHAN.

> Before Christmas 💕

A Nightmare Before Christmas AU. 

Crossing through a door in the woods, you and Chan end up on Earth. And you really just freaked out a man named Jeonghan. 

.JOSHUA.

> 3lue ✨ 🧩 💔 💕

(World: 3lue AU)

Blue. His powers were blue. It’s been years since you last saw him. Your memories of him were also blue. 

> A Dance Meant for Two 💕 💔

> Because You Were Gone ❤️‍🔥 💕 💔

You never knew when to give up. It wasn’t your superpower but it sure seemed like it.

> Guardian Angel 🧩 💕 💔

(Series: of Guardian Angels) 

You had taken some notes on the page, not many— the professor’s lecture had been brief and had ended with a “simple” question. One single question that for some unexplainable reason — except that the topic had always existed in the depths of your brain — seemed to rattle you.

You blinked, the words came into focus: Renaissance Art 14th to 17th Century: Religious Depictions: Angles.  

> I Saw 💕

Maybe you should have thought of your wishlist beforehand….

> Untitled AU 

From a Song+Member inbox night

> The Switch 💕 💔

Perhaps it was karma that he wasn’t in his own body anymore, living it up and spending his money the way he wanted to. To you that was a bittersweet blessing. Maybe he could change (you doubted it), but at the very least, you got to meet Seungcheol (and Woozi). 

> What is Love?

A 100-word drabble 

.JUN.

> Breathless Words 💕

Being alone on Christmas Eve isn’t as rare as everyone makes it out to be. Then you go and meet him.  

.HOSHI.

> Princess, Please  ❤️‍🔥 💕

You tried getting out of the field trip to the reindeer ranch. Hoshi’s family owned it and you’ve been avoiding him as much as you could. 

> Secret Santa 💕 💔

You spent so much time, and thought, trying to find Hoshi the right Christmas present. You’d only forgotten the Secret Santa exchange was going to happen during class. 

> G&R: Yule Ball 💕

Anger came when things didn’t happen like you hoped. But at least he loved you and overlooked your outburst. Now just…confess.

> Missed Connections  ✨ ❤️‍🔥 🧩 💕 💔

(Series: Between the Dusty and the Sparks)

They’re from different societies, meant to hate each other. But when you don’t know where the other’s from…there’s always the possibility of love. But when they find out, what are they meant to do?

.WONWOO.

> The Marionnettiste || Part 2 💕

Too shy to pursue. Too bold to let you go so easily. Want to play a game a chess? Some one has to make the first move.

> Guarded 🧩 💕 💔

(Series: of Guardian Angels)

He hadn’t seen you in so long. There was a reason for that.

> Letting Go ❤️‍🔥 💕

He saw you often, even through the pain because it was the only wish that kept coming true.

> Since the Day I Met You || Part 2  ✨ 🧩 💕 💔

(Series: Between the Dusty and the Sparks)

For better or worse, he’s been your friend since the day you met. You’ve been through a lot together already, you, Jihoon, and your ragtag rebel family. But someone messed up, someone made the elitist Sparks government focus on you all– a group of nobody rebels in the cast-off City of Dust that have never even seen the luxury of the walled-off City of Sparks. With a heavy, love-stricken heart, choices have to be made; and, as the leaders of this family, for better or worse

they will be made.

.SEOKMIN/DK.

> Warmth  🧩 💔 💕

(World: 3lue AU) 

Ice had to meet Sunshine at some point, but they had to learn how to stand on their own.

.MINGYU.

nothing here, sorry :( 

.THE8/HAO. > Drunken Mornings ❤️‍🔥 💕

A party long into the night gives you a hungover morning, and memories of a drunken morning. 

> Ashes 💔

You weren’t ready to admit what it was, the song you kept hearing in your head as grew up. Neither of you were. But, it never changed what it was: a curse teasing you about its impending arrival. 

.SEUNGKWAN. 

> Fight or Fight 💕

...He’s forgetting something… isn’t he?

> Peppermint 💕

(Soulmate AU) 

Who was to guess that it was in demise that Head Elf #11, otherwise known as Seungkwan, would finally meet his soulmate. 

.VERNON.

> Monster Mash 💔

It’s at a Halloween party two weeks after an accident, that Vernon and you are haunted. 

> Snowed In ❤️‍🔥 💕

Arrangements are made when no one can go home because they’re snowed inside. 

.DINO. 

> Sleigh Bells 💕 💔

I jingled some bells. You didn’t notice. They threw bells. You noticed.  You said bells rang in your head - so could you listen to mine?  

> A Dream of You 💔

It’s only in your dreams that you’re still able to see him.

> 5:15pm: As the World Caves In (Teaser)💕 💔 

Coming home after the apocalypse. Home sweet home. 

> As the World caves In (Full Fic)  💕 💔

(Post-Apocalyptic AU, Zombies!AU)

The world ended on a Tuesday in November, days after Halloween, when the sun was less than an hour away from setting. Chan had just left his dorm’s building, late to his History of Dance 136A lecture, when it happened. You hadn’t been as lucky on the day the world began to crumble.

Discord Chat: Magic Dragon - One Final Goodbye

SUMMARY: Dimitri drops by Zatanna’s apartment to offer up his sympathies for Tracy’s death and to let her know that he needs to leave town to clear his head. Zatanna reminds him that no matter what he will always be family and offers to train him in defensive spells in order to ensure that he can protect himself from the world she’s dragged him into. TRIGGERS: Guilt, Sadness, Murder Mentions, Abuse Mentions WRITTEN WITH: @ofreddragon

Dimitri: Knew today was going to be a trying time for Zatanna, it was Tracy's funeral, he'd done everything he could helping out Jesse with the arrangements ensure that Tracy's family didn't have to pay for a single thing. He'd sent a card and flowers to both Tracy's parents and Zatanna giving his condolences but after seeing her at the funeral he knew staying away was no longer something he could do. Seeing her destory and broken like this hit him harder then anything, Aamon Tracy's killer was gone but the weight of the young girls death stayed with them both as he could hear her words of warning about loving her. He knocked on her door readjusting the bag of freshly made food. He knew Zatanna and the women most definitely hadn't eaten choosing to worry and cry, which was something he couldn't have. "Hello Zatanna, I know I'm probably the last person you want to see in this time but i figured if anyone could understand your pain....I could, I made your favorite you looked a little peeked during the service today."

ZATANNA: She'd come home from the funeral more exhausted than she'd realized. After changing into something more comfortable, she found herself laying down on the couch with the lights and television off. She'd fallen asleep, but it wasn't a peaceful sleep. It was one marred by nightmares of Tracy's mutilated body, the young girl's parents and their accusing eyes, Aamon's wolfish grin. Zatanna woke with a gasp as she heard a knock at the front door. She sat up on the couch and stood still for a moment, collecting herself. Zatanna walked over to the door and opened it. "Dimitri," she swallowed hard. "Hello," she moved aside to let him in. "Thank you for this," she replied as she took the bag of freshly prepared meals and set them down on the kitchen counter. "How can I, um, how can I help you?"

Dimitri: He could see the unshed tears on her eyes, the puffiness they held from days of crying and just how tired and broken she really looked. He understood why she pushed him away but it didn't make his heart hurt any less. Even after everything he'd seen and everything Aamon had done Loving Zee was still worth it to him. "You're welcome I just wanted to ensure you were properly feeding yourself" He replied moving to enter her home. It had been so long since he'd been here he could feel his mind racing remember the nights and days they spent here together. "How is you are in pain and you still ask how you can help me?" He replied softly before turning to look at her. "I know you told me to stay away, that your life wasn't something I belonged in. The danger you mentioned everything that fight was about was to prevent me from ending up like Tracy But I saw you so hurt...and crying I couldn't bear it, I couldn't bear seeing you so broken, I know I don't belong here but I just had to look in on you myself."

ZATANNA: She wasn't hungry. Truth be told as of late she didn't have much of an appetite. She knew she looked gaunt and tired and that's because she was. She smiled lightly when he commented that despite her pain she'd still asked him how she could be of service. "Call it a habit, I guess. John says I need to practice the word No more often," she shrugged, pulling her cardigan tightly around herself. "Looks like my warning might have come a little late," she replied as she glanced up at him. "Aamon was ready to take you out too." Zatanna had felt the bottom drop from underneath her feet when Lucifer had informed them of a hit Aamon had placed on Dimitri. Nothing had been off the table for the prince. He was systematically out to take everything from her. "Dimitri, I'm--" her voice cracked. "I'm sorry. I got involved in something more complicated and dangerous than I ever knew and now I've put you, and John, and Jesse, and Rachel, and Sam, and Dean at risk."

Dimitri: He knew the likelihood of getting Zatanna to Eat was next to nothing, but maybe if she had the food in the house she'd at least eat at some point. He wanted to rush to her and pull her into his arms and just hold her hoping it would erase some of the pain but he didn't have the right to do anything like that. "I happen to agree with him on that issue, you are far too nice for this world" He replied before looking at the other "I planned to tell you...I tired too before you took the stage but you ended things and i suppose I didn't want to make even more upset" He replied honestly looking at Zatanna. She'd found out and now it was another body on the pile of her life he could see how it was tearing her apart. He moved closer holding out his hand before he could stop himself. "Sorry? I'm not, being with you was the best thing in my otherwise death filled life. everyone you've listed would not hesitate to come to your aid, they love you and they understand the danger that comes when you make powerful enemies.  I don't care that Aamon put a hit on me, I care that he hurt you, I care that he made you feel this way to the point where you think no one should be near you."

ZATANNA: "Nice would be the last word I'd use to describe myself at this point," she replied honestly. She didn't feel nice, she felt like holy fire burning everything in her wake. She nodded as he replied that he'd meant to tell her about the hit. "I know, Dimi," she replied. "I haven't exactly made it easy to talk things through with these past few months." She stood her ground as he came forward. Loving her had already marked him for death. What use was running going to do now? "I don't think you understand the extent of trouble I've gotten you into," she replied, sorrow clear in her eyes. "Your soul is marked. When you die, you will go to Aamon's kingdom. He will torture you, probably personally, and once he's broken you he will send you here for me. There is no forgiveness for what I've done, Dimi. I've damned you to the worst possible hell all because Michael--" she took a deep breath. The archangel was a raw topic for them. "You should go while you still have a chance."

Dimitri: "Its the only work that comes to mind when I think about you" He replied honestly knowing this death had broken her, he could see how she was barely holding herself together knowing that there was nothing he could do. The illusion had been broken in more ways then one, "Its fine, You had more important things on your mind then the failed attempts on my life. I didn't live this long due to luck." He listened to her as she spoke he'd always knew his soul was damned he never really cared much about it, Sure he knew once he figured out Aamon was behind the hit that the male wanted him more then he initially thought. "Because Michael Loves you, you truly think I couldn't see it? You are every easy person to love Zatanna. I always knew hell wouldn't be a cake walk, that I would be tortured and ripped apart for centuries. There is always a chance I would've broken before and should I be sent back to Earth to attack you, I'll ensure I'm killed before I even reach you. you're surrounded by Angels Zatanna, I wouldn't even get through the door." He replied honestly before looking at her, gone was any friendship between them, which hurt even worst. "I can see me being here makes everything worst for you....I just wanted to check on you, I promise after tonight you'll never see me again. I know its hard right now but do look after yourself Zatanna."

ZATANNA: "You are too kind then, I'm afraid. Most souls I've damned to this kind of existence wouldn't be paying me compliments right now." She could see based on his appearance he hadn't gotten much sleep himself these days. She ventured to guess he was worried about her. She knew she would be fine. Michael's enemies weren't stupid enough to go directly after her, but they were determined to go after everyone she cared for. She would never be able to forgive herself for what she'd dragged him into just as John could never forgive himself for what he'd done to her father. "It's not fine," she replied earnestly. "Your life is important to me. Dimitri, I don't know what to do anymore. I push you away and you still get hurt. I keep you close and you end up collateral," she sighed, bracing herself against the kitchen counter. "No matter what I do at this point, you get hurt," she bit at her lip and stared at the ground. Quiet and contemplative for a moment. "I want you here," she replied firmly. "You've seen what this life is. Even a skilled and promising magician like Tracy couldn't get away. All my cards are on the table. I want you here if you want to be here. I can teach you the extent of what I know so that if they come for you, you have a fighting chance but I can't--" she looked up at him, letting the words hang for a moment. "We can't get involved again."

Dimitri: "That suppose to be a joke? I've been damned since I murder my step father for laying his hands on my sister. You had no hand in my damning and I wont have you thinking so, I am  killer and going to hell nothing less then what I deserve" He replied honestly, he knew he was the bad guy in every story and he wouldn't allow Zatanna to think it was her fault for his hell status.  "It is fine, My life shouldn't be important to you, My life is nothing it was always nothing, you can't be an assassin and think your life is important. You don't have to push me away or hold me close, Aamon will get what he wants in the end, there is no hiding from it, I'm used to pain and hurt Zatanna, what will happen will happen, the only kindness I can give you is that you won't have to look at me, and bare your guilt any longer." He replied honestly looking at her he didn't think he could be near her, so he knew what he had to tell her to push her away. "But my cards aren't, John taught me some spells to use on Michael, I trapped him in holy oil and demanded he admit what I already knew. I hurt him to try and get him to say he loved you. I even threated Gabriel if he still continued to not talk. You wanted to know who I am, this is it, You shouldn't teach me anything and I'm sure even Michael would agree with that statement." He replied honestly before looking at her "I'm done living in the illusion, as you once called us, I'll fight but we all know the outcome when they come I will die." 

ZATANNA: "I might not have been the one to damn you, but I sure as hell didn't make it any better.” Had he not met her, he might have gotten through Aamon's kingdom with barely any recognition from the prince. But now? She was certain the moment Dimi died, Aamon would take a personal interest in him. "You don't get to decide what should and shouldn't be important to me," she replied firmly. "You are important to me whether you want to be or not." She shook her head as he replied that Aamon would get what he wanted in the end and there was no way of fighting it. "It doesn't have to be like that. I'm not much of a believer in fate or destiny.” She'd thought of a thousand ways to work around this. She knew she could levy an agreement with Lucifer, but she wouldn’t do something like that without Dimitri’s say so. His death, much like his life, belonged to him. She sighed when he mentioned John had taught him some spells that he'd used on Michael. “Was it worth it?” she asked. She knew the price of a spell like that. She also knew Dimi was no harm to the angels. He hadn't been in the right state of mind when he'd threatened Michael. But after having just lost Tracy, she wasn't taking chances either. "I want to make something perfectly clear. Gabriel, Azrael, Jophiel, Cupid, and the others are not to be touched. Sam and Dean are not to be touched. Rachel is not to be touched. Whatever you and Michael have against each other is between you and him. Enough people have gotten caught in the crossfire.” She took a seat on the couch and stared at her hands, debating what to do with the information she was given. “My magic is not like John’s magic. The spells that I would teach you are ones that would buy you time to escape not ones that would allow you to harm anyone. If Aamon or any of the other princes are going to come for you because of me, you deserve a head start. The offer is on the table if you want to take it. Think on it.” 

Dimitri: could understand her pain, not only had Aamon hurt Tracy but his hatred for Michael had now spread to people outside the celestial realm. " I don't get to decided that but I'm telling you how I feel Zatanna, I've been a mercenary all my life, You can't think you are worth anything and do what I did. The way I was raised made this quite easy, My step father couldn't be bothered to even give My Sister or me a thought, and when he did it was simply to let us know how worthless and stupid we were." He replied just as firmly "I'm honored you think I'm important, but I know my fate was going to end at his kingdom and he'd do anything in his power to get me to turn into the Dragon once again. I've accepted that as my fate, Nothing we do will stop this Zatanna I'm trying to save you the pain of thinking its your fault but you are quite stubborn." He replied honestly he had long come to understand what awaited in him Hell. He felt she had the right to know about what he'd done to Michael and the words he's said "Yes it was, I'm good at playing the villain, and I wanted him to know all powerful or not those under his protection put their life in his hands. Like you say if Tracy can fall anyone can. Michael cares for you and everyone you've mentioned he needs to see this threat for what it was, he has enemies and those just became yours."  He replied honestly before nodding his head "There is nothing between Mike and myself, I want him to look after those under his protection, if I could do that with a little bit of magic who knows what someone with rage and anger towards him could do. I will drop by and apologize for my behavior but don't think I activity go around hurting people like everyone else does in my life." He replied before looking at her "I don't know if it would truly make any difference Zatanna, But it will put you at ease I'll learn some so you don't feel guilty when I die, knowing I at least went down fighting."  

ZATANNA: “You might not think that your life is worth it and that philosophy might make it easier to do what you do, but that doesn’t change how I feel about your worth as a person,” she replied softly, tearful eyes looking up at him and begging him to understand that no matter how he sees himself he will always be important to her just as John, with all his flaws, remained important to her. She chuckled softly when he replied that she was simply stubborn. He wasn’t wrong, she was. He might have been doomed to hell from the very beginning, but because of her his time there would be worse than anything it would have been had he never met her. That guilt would be with her for the rest of time. There was nothing neither he nor Michael could do or say to absolve her of that. She sighed and shook her head when Dimitri replied that threatening Michael had been worth the consequences of magic. She thought he was different from John. More stable and level headed, but perhaps that was just the illusion he wanted her to see all those months they were dating. This was the real Dimitri. Flaws and all. “I didn’t know it was going to get this complicated when I summoned him,” she admitted. She had hoped that he would keep her enemies in check; she hadn’t realized she would inherit his along the way. “Michael knows what’s at stake now. He will protect those he cares about.” She knew, if pushed, the angel would start a war for her and that was a scary thought. “You don’t want to be on the wrong side of that, Dimi.” She nodded when he said that he would make amends. While he didn’t think there was anything between him and Michael there was. It was Zatanna. She would always be the bad blood between them. She was relieved when Dimi agreed to learn some defensive spells. “We can start in a few days. I need time to make a portal universe where we can practice safely. I had to dismantle the one I used to teach Rachel.” 

Dimitri: "I do understand, but you have to know having people care about me its something that takes getting use too. I never really cared if I lived or died before, but I care if anything happens you, I'm sorry Zatanna I didn't mean to make you cry, again, " Dimitri replied honestly, his decision to leave this city behind becoming more and more tempting.  If only to give everyone a break of his presence, He could sense things changing part of him wanted to return to his normal otherwise quite lifestyle but he knew if he stayed here it would never happen. "I'm sorry I've disappointed you, but I'm quite used to gaining my information through these means. I wanted to be sure that he would protect all of your, I know you'll say you are strong and can handle yourself but these celestials have power that go beyond normal magic I'm sure" He replied softly looking at the other nodding his head "I hope so, there are plenty of people who would never forgive him if they lost you." He replied honestly before chuckling softly "Mike could kill me if he wanted, I've chosen no sides in this fight, the only side I'd chose is yours not theirs, besides none of them will have to worry about me for awhile." He looked at her sighing no was better then later "Zatanna I'm leaving New York, if this pocket universe can be accessed without me being here we can start training then, if not we may have to hold it off till I can return."  He replied softly looking at her, he wanted her to not feel guilty or upset but he couldn't stay here in New York any longer.  

ZATANNA: “You might not think I get it, but I do,” she replied. Zatanna was no stranger to putting her life and wellbeing on the line. The ritual wasn’t the first time she’d put herself at risk and it wouldn’t be the last time. Even Bruce could tell she’d become more and more reckless with her life since her dad died. She cared a lot about others, but she didn’t show the same level of care and worry for herself. She knew where Dimitri was coming from because she viewed herself in much the same light: disposable. But she wasn’t that to the others around her. She’d come to recognize that in the way John admonished her for her involvement with the angels or in the way Blayze would look at her with worry when he thought she wasn’t looking. They cared about her even if she didn’t care about herself. “Life made you think your only valued contribution to society was to be a weapon, but you’re more than that. Just as I am more than just my magic.” “I might not have their level of magic, but I am my father’s daughter. I’ve still got a few tricks up my sleeve,” she replied softly. “Michael could kill you, but he won’t. Their side and mine are one in the same. I’ve made a choice to help them and if I get hurt in the process I need to know you won’t go off doing something like this again. I will be more careful, but I don’t need you getting hurt on my behalf. Just like I don’t need Michael starting a war on my behalf.” She inhaled deeply when he mentioned he was leaving New York for the time being. It stung more than it should have. She couldn’t help but be reminded of the last time he’d ran off on her. No, Zee, this is different, she reminded herself. “Okay,” she replied softly. “Okay. Take the time you need. I can—” she cleared her throat. “The pocket universe will be accessible from anywhere. It’ll work like the ring. You turn it a few times and it’ll open up. We can coordinate a time each week and meet up in there.” 

Dimitri: He knew Zatanna had the biggest heart he'd ever seen, she cared for everyone even people who didn't deserve her caring. It was reckless especially when he was concerned part of him after all of this longed for the easy life of being an assassin again, one decision he knew she would never approve of. One that make her worry all the more since it would bring him to the grave faster.  He wasn't use to people caring about him or even thinking him as non-disposable, he always knew if he died no one would morn him, he was fine with that thought yet now here was a person who'd care something he should never had done was come into her life. "You are more then your magic anyone can see that, but my only contribution is being a weapon, its what I'm good at. I know you are trying to show me how I'm valued but I'm afraid I'm just as stubborn as you" He nodded his head, Zatanna was strong, probably not strong enough to beat off an demon and archangel attack but he was sure he knew how to play the game. "Michael when you are gone won't be so civil especially is someone causes your death because of him, I wont activity seek him out, nor will I try and hurt anyone in his family but I'm pretty sure I'll be long gone before you pass Zatanna no worries there." He replied knowing his news would hit her the wrong way, he couldn't even console her because he needed to leave New York had become too much for him, all these feelings he had to get rid of and gain his clear head. He was sure at times he'd probably even stop attending these training meetings as time went on hoping Zatanna would just forget about him. "I'm sorry but I can't be here anymore, I don't mean to hurt you, but its the truth." He replied looking at her nodding his head "That will work, I plan to leave at the end of this week, will that be ample time to prepare such a thing?"  

ZATANNA: "Magic is a weapon and I was born and made of it," she countered. She was a high powered time bomb if manipulated correctly, but she'd learned to control herself long ago. "But we are not only things that make us dangerous." She knew his one dimensional view of self was a means of protecting himself from further emotional hurt and discomfort If you think yourself lower than human, it is easier to move through life as a ghost. She wasn't going to allow him to do that. "You may be a sharpened dagger but you're also the kind of soul who brings baskets of food to a woman who's broken your heart," she replied as she gestured to the gift he'd gotten her. "You've put your life at risk for my brother and for John and for me. That's not something a weapon does. That's something family does." "When I am gone there are others to keep him level. I live a fraction of their lives," she replied evenly. "At this rate, I may even beat you to the grave." She knew loving her would be painful for all of them. Not only had she earned Michael's trust, but also Gabriel, Azrael, Jophiel, and Cupid's as well. When Azrael finally comes to collect her, she knows it will be a somber journey for them both. But at least she knew she would have a friendly face to see her off on her final day in this plane of existence. "I understand," Zee replied as she cleared her throat. "You have to do what feels right. If you need space, take space. A week will be plenty of time to create a portal dimension.  Stop by the theater before you leave town and I'll have it ready for you." 

Dimitri: He knew just how powerful Zatanna was, she was truly a treasure once he would always regret loosing but it wasn't in their future to ever be together. He destroyed everything he touched and slowly leaving her life would be the best way. "Such words of wisdom and hope to those who aren't already completely lost to the darkness." He mused looking at her, years of conditioning would not just disappear because someone care for him. The last time someone cared for him he failed them "You are loosing weight over your stress and worry, I will always love you Zee....nothing in this world could stop me from feeling this way" He replied before looking at her "I don't have family, but you do It was quite an honor being a part of it even if it was short lived, look after them for me, Blayze and John I don't think I'll have time to say goodbye" "knowing how stubborn you are you'll outlive their expectations Zatanna, we all could end up in a grave, I could walk out your door and get hit by a bus. Death is the only certain thing in this world. It will not be easy for anyone to  loose you Celestial or not, you're death would cause a hole one that is almost impossible to fill." He knew his words hurt her but it as the best thing he could do for everyone, just leave quietly and ensure that no one needed to see him around. "Thank you Zatanna, for all you wish to teach me, I promise this isn't me running away, I'm not scared of your life or even the death that awaits me I just need to be alone and I know if i stay here it won't happen." 

ZATANNA: She wanted desperately to believe that he wouldn't fall back on his promise, but the more he spoke, the more it felt like a forever goodbye. She got the sense that he had no intention of coming back. He would attend a few sessions to placate her and then he would disappear off the grid. She couldn't force him to stay; that choice was not hers. "There is no was," she insisted. "We are family. Past, present, and future. I will pass on the message to Blayze and John so that they know you've left town," she promised. "But the only way we'll lose touch is if you make it so." Her family was scattered. This was the longest John had ever stayed in New York. Ambrose was out traveling with his pack. Blayze had stuck by her and helped her take care of her father's shop. But no matter where they all found themselves, they always kept in touch because when you love someone that's what you do. She would never stop reaching out. "All deaths create an impossible hole," she acknowledged. "I thought the hole my father's death left would consume me and for a time it did, but I pulled through and they will too when I'm gone." She didn't like thinking about her death. The control freak within her struggled with the idea that one day she wouldn't be here to protect her family or soothe their heartaches. But that was mortality. She nodded as he thanked her for her willingness to teach him. "It's the least I can do given what we're up against. Thank you for the food," she replied, standing up to face him. She stood on her tip toes and placed a soft kiss on his cheek. "This isn't goodbye, alright?" She wiped tears from her eyes as she looked up at him. "This is just 'I'll see you later.' Class starts in two weeks. Don't be late." Zatanna squeezed his hand one last time before letting it go. She watched him disappear through the door and hoped against all hope that this wouldn't be the last she saw of him.
