The man he faced was everything Obi-Wan had devoted his life to destroying. Murderer. Traitor. Fallen Jedi. Lord of the Sith. And here, and now, despite it all, Obi-Wan still loved him.

When he Sees me

Summary: After alastor left the 3rd time, Mal sets Aponi up on a blind date.

Warnings: alastor is a dick. Theo exists. But that's a good thing bc Theo is great. A bit of malaponi. Aponi interrupts Mal a lot. Other than all of that this is fluff.

Taglist: @gyubby99

Pairings: Alastor x OC who he abandoned

It had been months since Alastor had left.

Aponi took a breath as she finished closing up the Cafe, one of the only places in the pride ring that was actually a good place to work.

Mal sat on the table, waiting for her friend to finish up her job as she texted with a friend of hers.

"I think I found you a date~" Mal stated with a smile.

"What? Mal.... you know I can't do that," Aponi stated as she wiped down a table with leftover ketchup stains on it.

"Oh but I think you caaaan!! He's super sweet! Or.. as sweet as you can get down here..." Mal explained as she held up her phone to her best friend to show Aponi a picture of the Demon.

"Mal. I can't do that. I haven't even gotten Theo a full time babysitter and i-"

"Dont worry about Theo! Vox and I can handle that! You deserve this so much Lilly..... I saw how broken you were when alastor left......" Mal stated as she looked at Aponi with worry.

Aponi paused her actions before sighing.

"I stick with real things," aponi began. "Usually facts and figures... When information's in its place, I minimize the guessing game. Guess what?" She asked.

Mal sighed. "What?"

Thats when the music started.

"I don't like guessing games. Or when I feel things Before I know the feelings" aponi continued in rhythm to the music. "How am I supposed to operate? If I'm just tossed around by fate? Like on an unexpected date......"

Mal rolled her eyes.

"With a stranger who might talk too fast! Or ask me questions about myself Before I've decided that He can ask me questions about myself!" Aponi continued her rant as she continued to scrub the table.

"Lilly-"

"He might sit too close! Or call the waiter by his first name! Or eat Oreos! But eat the cookie before the cream!" Aponi listen before standing up staraight and looking off into nothing. "But what scares me the most.... What scares me the most....." she trailed off as she glanced at her phone, a picture of her and alastor as the Screensaver.

Mal turned her phone over.

"Is what if when he sees me.... What if he doesn't like it? What if he runs the other way and I can't hide from it? What happens then?" Aponi asked as she walked over to get the broom "what If when he knows me, he's only disappointed? What if I give myself away, to only get it given back? I couldn't live with that....." Aponi sang as she swept the floor.

"how do you live with that?" Mal sang in return.

"So, I'm just fine, inside my shell-shaped mind! This way I get the best view! So that when he sees me, I want him too!" Aponi finished.

"Lilly, don't you think you're being a little, I mean maybe just a tad-"

"I'm not defensive!" Aponi interrupted. "I'm simply being cautious! I can't risk reckless dating Due to my miscalculating why A certain suitor stands in line!" Aponi ranted as she swept to the rhythm of the music. "I've seen in movies Most made for television. You cannot be too careful When it comes to sharing your life! I could end up a miserable wife!!" She belted, remembering her relationship with alastor.

Mal huffed and put a hand on Aponi's shoulder, only for her to shrug it off and turn to make, exasperated.

"Sorry girl, but he could be criminal!" Aponi exclaimed. "Some sort of psychopath Who escaped from an institution, Somewhere where they don't have girls!" Aponi ranted as she paced back and fourth, her broom long forgotten. "He could have masterminded some way to find me!" She spoke from experience.

"Lils-"

"He could be color blind! How untrustworthy is that?" Aponi asked. "He could be less than kind!" She explained before sitting in one of the unstacked chairs. "Or even worse, he could be very nice, have lovely eyes... And make me laugh, come out of hiding.... What do I do with that?" She asked, tears forming in her eyes.

Mal reached out for her only for aponi to bury her hea din her hands.

"Oh, God!" She exclaumed befire standing up again. "What if when he sees me, I like him and he knows it? What if he opens up a door, And I can't close it? What happens then?" She sang as she picked up her broom again, dancing with it as if it were a person before throwing it to the side.

"He's not-"

"What If when he holds me, My heart is set in motion? I'm not prepared for that! I'm scared of breaking open!" Aponi sang. Once again interrupting Mal. "But still I can't help from hoping To find someone to talk to! Who likes the way I am... Someone who when he sees me.... Wants to again!" Aponi belted before sitting next to mal on the table.

"..... Just go on this date, Lilly... if anything at least you'll be back out there.... if you don't feel safe you can always call or text me....." Mal stated as she handed her phone to Lilly, the picture of the Demon bright in their eyes.

"But theo-"

"Will be fine. He and Emma can have a playdate. Plus, Vox is real font of him. Despite what he says about Alastor," Mal explained.

Aponi sighed.

".... what if Alastor comes back?" Aponi asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Mal stayed silent.

"........ then at least if the date goes well you'll know your worth if he does," Mal finally expressed as she wrapped a reassuring arm around Aponi.

All The Fire Bright

Ten years of war, and countless lives have been lost. A whole lifetime by each other's sides, and countless secrets have been shared between two young men. Except for one that could easily change everything.

Patroclus has followed Achilles across land and sea to be with him, and yet he has never found the courage to bare his heart to him fully. Now that the end creeps nearer, however, it becomes increasingly more difficult to keep the truth to himself.

Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:

15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.

None of the hijackers were from Iraq.

None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.

None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.

-Recording begins-

Spider-Man: Hi folks! I’d like to give a PSA to my usual villains, and anyone else with ideas for the next two months.

Spider-Man: *holds up a brick sized lump of metal* See this? It’s titanium!

Spider-Man: *starts flattening it out and shaping it*

Spider-Man: See, we all know that I’m crazy strong, but I never wanna really hurt anybody right? Right. While that hasn’t changed, something very important does right around this time of year.

Spider-Man: *pulls off a glove and pulls a chunk into a long stem with his nails carving lines for added texture*

Spider-Man: See, this is what we like to call exam season. Anybody who knows anything about college can tell you that it drives people up the wall, and I already climb mine when I’m antsy.

Spider-Man: *starts winding the thin sheet around the stem, delicately crimping petals in place*

Spider-Man: I do wanna be clear that this isn’t a threat, okay? I’m still not interested in crossing the line, which brings me to my point.

Spider-Man: *throws the titanium rose at the brick wall behind him, stem first, and embeds it all the way through*

Spider-Man: /That/ was restrained because I could focus enough to have full control. If I’m extremely tired or otherwise distracted, there’s just as much risk of me slipping up as someone operating heavy machinery. I’m probably not going to remember what sleep is for two whole months, so remember!

Spider-Man: *pulls out a brick and snaps it like a cookie*

Peter fucking Parker: Don’t.
