Your POV

“Daddy are you gonna win” Lily said. “I don’t know baby” Lando said picking lily up. “If you win can we get ice cream” she said I smiled. “With extra sprinkles” Lando said. “Yes.. because sprinkles are for winners” Lily said I laughed.

“We can get ice cream baby” I said. “Mommy with waffles” Lily said. “Waffles.. Lily” I asked. “Yeah like daddy’s favorite ones” Lily said. “I think I have some” Lando said looking around for his waffles. He then found his little bag of stroop waffles.

“Can I have one” she said. “Of course love” he said she took one out of the bag. He then set her down. “Mama here” she said giving me one. “Oh thank you baby” I said taking one. “Alright lily daddy’s gotta get in his race car” Lando said bending down to her. “Okay daddy good luck” she said he hugged her.

“I love you so very much” he said she kissed his cheek. “I love you too daddy” she said. “Alright baby let’s get our headsets” I said. “Excuse me Mommy you forgot about me” Lando said. I hugged him and kissed him. “I love you so much” I said.

“I love you more Y/N .. I’ll see you after the race” Lando said. We took our seats and looked at the monitors. Lily sat in my lap as we got ready to watch the race. Lily waved to Lando as he drove out of the garage. This was her second race she watched in person.

“You ready” I said. She pointed at the screen. “Daddy’s gonna win” she said I smiled. “I think so too” I said. “Lily are you excited” Zak asked. “Yes I like that car” she said pointing to the red Ferrari. “That’s uncle Charles” I said. “Cha” she said smiling. “Yes cha” I said.

We watched the race begin. Lando was moving up positions a little bit. He then came over the radio at one point.

“Hi lily baby I love you” Lando said over the radio. She smiled. “I love you” she said back. he laughed. We kept watching. But I saw Lando hit something and spin off. So I quickly covered Lily’s eyes. Zak tried to stand in front so she wouldn’t see.

“Lando are you okay” Dave said over the radio and he said nothing. I teared up. Please be okay. We need you. “Lando are you okay” Dave repeated. “.. ahh.. Yeah I’m .. okay” Lando said.

“Mommy what’s going on” Lily said. “Daddy spun off it’s okay” I said. “Daddy are you okay” Lily said. “I’m okay baby it’s alright” Lando said. We then waited for Lando to come back to the garage.

They wanted to get him checked out just to be safe. So he got up in the ambulance.

“Mommy is daddy okay” Lily said. “Yeah come on Lily” Lando said. We got into the ambulance and went to the hospital. Lando held her hand the whole way there. She was a little bit nervous.

Later on..

Lando got checked out and everything was okay. We waited in the room at the hospital. Lily had fallen asleep with her head on my lap.

“She didn’t see that right” Lando said. “No.. I covered her eyes” I said. “I was just worried about her and you” he said. “I was so worried too” I said. “It was scary even more so knowing she was watching” Lando said. “Yeah” I said softly as Lily snored. Lando chuckled.

“She snores like you” Lando said. “Oh I know she had a busy day” I said. “She’s so precious how’d we make such a cutie” Lando said. “I know I came believe she’ll be five soon” I said. “I kinda miss the baby phase” Lando said.

“Oh you do” I said. “Yeah I do now she’s a little independent” Lando said. “Well good news is we’ll have another baby in like nine months so” I said. “Really” Lando said smiling. “Mmmh” I said. “Come here” Lando said.

Lily then woke up.

“Daddy” Lily said waking up and going over to Lando. “Hi lovey” Lando said holding her. “Lily guess what” I said sitting on the bed with them. “What” Lily said. “You are gonna be a big sister” Lando said. “Really I am” she said smiling. “Yes you might get a sister or a brother” I said.

“Yay… I want a baby brother” Lily said. “You do” I said. “Yeah or sister” she said smiling. “Are you excited then” I asked. “Yes but where do babies come from” Lily said. Lando and I looked at each other. “Uhhh well mommy carries the baby in here” Lando said pointing to my stomach.

“Did she eat it” Lily said I laughed. “No no honey” I said. “Oh so it’s magic” Lily asked. “Yes it’s magic lily” Lando said. “That’s cool” Lily said hugging me. “Yes it is” I said. “I can’t wait” Lily said super excited. “Do you think mommy will have a boy or girl” Lando said.

“Ummmm.. I don’t know I hope a boy or a girl” Lily said. “We can decorate a room too what do you think” I said. “I wanna help” Lily said. “Of course you can mommy and daddy will need help” Lando said. “Okay” Lily said.

Hi bestie.

If you are taking requests, how about Baldwin x reader where reader is all touchy and lovey dovey with him. Like always hugging him , spending time with him, caring about him , trying hard to make him laugh etc. (but they aren’t partners yet since he thinks he is a leper and all but still deals with reader being all touchy even tho sometimes she hugs him too tight from the excitement of seeing him it hurts) reader won’t speak about her own feelings out loud either but one time while she was hugging the king gives him a very shy small tiny peck on the bandaged neck 👉🏻👈🏻🥺 then leaves. Later on a wealthy fine looking knight/prince whatever asks for her hand in marriage and her parents approve as well. He goes to congratulate her but she starts crying telling Baldwin how cruel he is for he never notices her feelings and how she only cares about him not because he is her king but because of what a gentle soul he has and how every time she sees her she falls in love with his eyes and how brave he is despite all the suffering he does his best for the kingdom and she doesn’t even want the privilege of being the queen.

Maybe some happy ending ?! Like while in ceremony the priest asks her to say yes to the prince/knight she glances at Baldwin one last time he even nods for her to say yes but she suddenly decides to run for Baldwin and say no !? Maybe this softens Baldwin’s heart and decides to take her finally!?

Sorry if this is too long and dramatic.

Btw some flowers for the bestie cause she is an amazing writer💐💐💐

♧ Take Me, All Of Me - King Baldwin x Reader ♧

♧ Angst ♧

A/N: Hello Anon! I just want to apologize for how long its taken to get to your request. Thank you so much for your kind words also🫶. I hope it's what you had in mind! As always, this is based on the film Kingdom Of Heaven, not the real historical figures. Enjoy!

TW: Leprosy, General Angst

Lady y/n was never shy about her love for Baldwin.

She and the young king had been friends since they were children. Being the daughter of Baldwin III's most trusted friend meant that she and her family spent many hours in the palace of Jerusalem, during which time she had become well acquainted with his son, Baldwin IV. 

The two had always liked each other as more than just “friends”, but after Baldwin's diagnosis, everybody including him, thought against the idea of the young prince ever being wed to anyone. 

Everybody of course, except y/n. Despite everything, she loved him. A lot. Even if that love could be a bit too much for him at times. 

Y/n often embraced the young king, her hugs were warm and firm. The type of hug that made him feel as if everything was right with the world.

Oh how he longed to embrace her in return and stay there for eternity. But alas, he hid his feelings deep inside himself. He believed it was better that way.

Sometimes she hugged him too tightly, causing his midsection to ache. Y/n would apologize profusely but each time he insisted it was alright.

Baldwin hated how frail he was more than anything. He wanted to be hugged and squeezed, shown love and affection but it was just not possible without a surge of pain raging through his torso.

They spent a lot of time together, whether it be working, talking, playing chess, sitting in the courtyard, or just visiting different cities, they were always together.

Baldwin was the calmer of the two. He always had been. But that didn't mean he didn't love her excitement. She always found a way to make him laugh, even in the darkest moments of his life.

Y/n never spoke of her feelings for him, but they were obvious. Especially when she would press a tiny kiss to his bandaged neck, just before pulling away from an embrace.

Their relationship continued on like this for years until one day, a strong, young knight asked for her hand in marriage.

With her parents' approval, the young couple were soon to be wed. Y/n was distraught. She didn't leave her chambers all day and when Baldwin came to congratulate her, he found the young lady sobbing with distress.

“Y/n! What's wrong?” he asked with worry and terror in his voice for fear that something may have happened.

Upon noticing his presence, y/n stood with anger and pain in her heart.

“How dare you come here” she shouted.

“How could you be so cruel? I have loved you for years Baldwin but you have done nothing but ignore me. Ignore my affection and love”

The young king was confused but still felt horrible.

“Y/n, I’m so sorry I-”

“Save it Baldwin, I have loved you since the day I met you. I love you not for your title or your power. I love you for your gentle soul, your wise words. You're the bravest, strongest man I know. I can't believe you think yourself unlovable because of some damn disease. But it's too late now, I will be wed. And you have missed your chance”.

Y/n stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her, leaving Baldwin stunned and hurt.

How could he have been so careless? Looking back on everything, her feelings were more than friendly.

They were feelings of love.

----------------------

The day of the wedding came fast and y/n had refused to speak with Baldwin for weeks. She even refused to read the letters he sent her and ignored him at every chance she got.

And yet, Baldwin was more distraught than she was. He wanted her more than anything, and she believed he didn't.

His heart had been hard and refused the idea of a wedding for so long that he had completely ignored her. He would have done anything for one of her hugs, even if it hurt him.

Seeing her stand on the altar, hand in hand with her future husband caused Baldwin more agony than anything ever had. It was a kind of pain he had never felt.

Sharp and bitter. Tears stung in his eyes as he held back a broken sob.

For the first time in weeks, y/n looked over to Baldwin one last time, seeing his eyes pleading and filled with tears.

Finally, just as the final vows were about to be said, y/n simply couldn't take it any longer. With one last glance at the knight, she dropped his hands and ran to Baldwin, pushing past people as she went until she found his arms.

The young king welcomed her like a breath of fresh air, and this time as she embraced him tightly, he embraced her back even tighter.

They melted into eachothers arms and in that moment, Baldwin swore that he would never let go again.

Aventurine introduces reader to his sister - in a timeline where she is alive and also a stoneheart, definitely not coping btw <3

“In every conceivable manner, the family is linked to our past, bridge to our future”

Summary: In an alternative universe, where Kakavasha's sister is still alive; Aventurine introduces his significant other to his sister, a rare and heartfelt moment in a world of high-stakes gambles and risks.

Tags: Aventurine x Reader, Fluff, Sibling Bonding, Aventurine's sister is a Stoneheart like him, Soft Aventurine, Emotional Vulnerability, Found Family Dynamics.

A/N: AHHH I LOVE YOU FOR THIS!!! ☹️😭💖 also same 🤧🥺

In the dimly lit parlor of a high-end lounge, Aventurine sat beside you, his hand warm in yours. You’d been together long enough to know how well he could hide his feelings, but today, his smile faltered ever so slightly. You gave his hand a reassuring squeeze as the doors opened, and his sister strode in.

She was a vision, sharp and commanding, with the same striking eyes as Aventurine. Her outfit mirrored his style in a way only siblings could achieve, with subtle hints of their shared legacy as Stonehearts woven into every detail. She looked at you, one eyebrow arched, her expression unreadable yet curious.

“This is the person you’re always talking about?” she teased, her voice dripping with a mix of skepticism and warmth.

Aventurine’s cheeks flushed, though he quickly recovered, offering a suave grin. “Guilty as charged,” he replied, winking at you. “You know me — can’t resist a good investment.”

You rolled your eyes playfully, nudging him. "Investment? That’s all I am?”

“Oh, absolutely,” he laughed, pulling you closer. “But one with extraordinary returns.”

His sister chuckled, watching the two of you. “You know, I never thought I’d see him like this. Kakava- I mean, Aventurine here… well, he’s never been one to keep people close. But you,” she paused, a flicker of genuine admiration crossing her face, “you must be something else to have him wrapped around your finger.”

It felt surreal, sharing this moment with Aventurine and his sister, both Stonehearts, bound by family, power, and a deep understanding of risks few dared to take. You noticed the pride in her gaze as she looked at Aventurine, and something unspoken passed between them — years of shared battles, secrets, and a fierce loyalty only siblings could know.

Aventurine reached for his glass, fingers tapping in a steady rhythm — a small sign you’d learned to recognize as his way of holding onto control. “You’re right,” he said, his voice softening. “I’m lucky. I might not say it enough, but… meeting them has been a gamble I’d take again and again.”

His sister gave him a fond smile before turning to you. “Take care of him, alright? He’s a handful, but… he’s worth it.” There was a vulnerability in her eyes, a glimpse of how deeply she cared for him beneath her confident facade.

You took her hand, nodding with a smile. “Always.”

Aventurine’s face softened, his usual playful demeanor replaced by something more genuine, more raw. As the night went on, the three of you shared laughter, stories, and dreams that somehow, for the first time, didn’t feel like mere gambles but promises worth holding onto.

I know this is a serious and wholesome fic but why the sister kinda- 😍❤️

young player x devils are so cute🥺🥺

okay maybe she’s sick and jack becomes mother hen and nico is just a very worried captain

Sick Day

It was a rare day off for the New Jersey Devils, but instead of relishing the free time, Jack Hughes found himself fidgeting as he checked his phone for the hundredth time. Yn—his teammate, and someone the boys had practically adopted as a little sister—had been under the weather for the last couple of days, and Jack wasn’t having it.

Jack, ever the mother hen, had texted her first thing in the morning: "How are you feeling? Need anything?"

The response, though, wasn’t immediate. Jack frowned, and Nico Hischier, the ever-worried captain, noticed his unease. “She hasn’t answered yet?”

“No, and that’s not like her. She usually replies right away,” Jack muttered.

“She’s probably just resting,” Nico said, though the furrow in his brow gave away his own concern.

Luke Hughes, Jack’s younger brother, and Dawson Mercer were sprawled out on the couch nearby, equally aware of the situation. They had grown protective of her too. She was the youngest player on the team, and from the moment she joined the Devils, they’d all taken her under their wing.

“She’s tough, Jack,” Dawson said, trying to reassure him. “I’m sure she’ll be fine. Probably just tired.”

“But what if she’s too sick to take care of herself?” Jack shot back, pacing around the room. “I should just go check on her.”

“You’re overreacting, man. Just give her some time,” Luke said, though he was starting to glance at his own phone more frequently now.

Nico sighed, pulling out his car keys. “I’m driving. Let’s go check on her, just in case.”

Jack’s face lit up, while Luke and Dawson exchanged glances, knowing they couldn’t just sit back now either. So, all four of them piled into Nico’s car, with Jack already texting her, "We're coming over."

When they arrived at her apartment, Jack was the first one out of the car, practically sprinting to the door. He knocked, a little too urgently, and the door creaked open after a few moments.

She appeared, looking pale and wrapped in a blanket, but she gave them a small smile. “You guys didn’t need to come over.”

“You didn’t answer, we got worried,” Jack said, his voice gentle but his eyes scanning her face for any signs of distress. “Have you eaten? Drank water? What’s going on?”

Nico gave her a look that could only be described as 'captain mode,' his protective instincts kicking in. “You should’ve told us if you were feeling this bad. Have you seen a doctor?”

She waved them off with a weak laugh. “I’m fine, really. Just a cold. I didn’t want to bother you guys.”

“Bother us?” Luke chimed in, crossing his arms. “You’re part of the team, you can always tell us.”

Dawson shot her a warm grin. “Yeah, we’d rather you bother us than sit here alone feeling like this.”

Jack, already moving around her kitchen, started rifling through cabinets. “Alright, you need tea, something warm to eat, and rest. I’ll make some soup or something.”

She raised an eyebrow. “Since when do you know how to cook?”

“Since right now,” Jack said, determined, and Nico let out a small chuckle as he sat down next to her, still watching her carefully.

“You’ll be back on the ice in no time, but until then, we’re here,” Nico said firmly. “No arguments.”

She looked around at the four of them—Jack, hovering around like an overprotective mom, Nico with his captain’s watchful eye, and Luke and Dawson looking just as concerned. It was overwhelming, but in a way that made her feel like she truly belonged.

“Thanks, guys. Really.”

“No thanks needed,” Jack called out from the kitchen. “Just promise me you’ll tell us next time. Now, who wants some terrible soup?”

The room filled with light laughter, and for a moment, she forgot she was even sick, surrounded by her boys—her team, her family.

girl dad quinn hughes is my weakness… would you mind writing something for him 🥺🥺

thank you 🫶🫶🫶

thank you anon for for the request! you ask and you shall receive. i appreciate your patience with me. school is crazy rn and i got sick. so with out further ado… i present girl dad! quinn hughes!

the birthday party

description: Quinn and y/n throw little Maya a pool party for her 7th birthday.

extra notes: girl dad! Quinn and sweetness after the cut. sorry in advance for typos and errors! lmk if there’s anything i should add! you have my sincerest apologies if this is utterly awful.

Today was a special day for the Hughes family. Namely, a special day for you and quinn. Seven years ago, today, you gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Maya had changed both you and Quinns lives for the better. You remember the day like it was yesterday. It’s seems like just a few days ago you and quinn were learning how to change diapers and balance him being gone so often due to his job. In the beginning, Quinn felt so guilty for being gone and not being able to see Maya everyday. It was hard for him.

He always found a way to make the most out of his time when he was home. Quinn’s favorite thing to do when he is home was take Maya to the zoo. There, he taught her all the different animals and what sounds they make. You’ve always admired his love and patience for your daughter. Quinn was a natural at fatherhood and it suited him.

Which brings you to today, Quinn took the innovative to plan Maya’s entire party out. Well, being born in the summer time has its perks. Maya had begged Quinn for days about having a mermaid pool party. You remember the day she decided, you were picking her up from school when she burst out yelling, “ I WANT A MERMAID PARTY!!”. You laughed and told her to ask dad to see if it was okay. Quinn didn’t say no, he can never so no to her. That night she asked him, he started planning it, showing you different mermaid tails he found online. He told you, “You can’t have a mermaid party and not have tails”.

After picking out tails for Maya and her friends, Quinn moved onto entertainment. To which he told you that he hired an actor to play a mermaid. If you weren’t already in love with this man now, you just fell in love. Quinn does anything and everything for his girls, even renting a mermaid for his daughter’s birthday. You were in charge of snacks. This was the only thing Quinn let you do. He did everything else and planned it perfectly.

You and Quinn started setting all the decorations up at 9:45 because the party started at 11. You had to admit Quinn did a beautiful job picking everything out. He picked out sea shells and streamers in different shades of blue. He even had a custom banner made that said “Happy 7th Birthday Maya!”. You set up the tables with the snacks and juices. You left just enough room for the cake to go in the middle. Quinn also had this specially made, it had two mermaids on either side with a birthday message.

Finally, you guys had finished setting up. Maya was inside the house watching cartoons when you and Quinn came inside. He ran up to the couch and picked her up. “Happy birthday Bug! I can’t believe you’re turning 6,” He said. Maya laughed and said “You’re silly dad! I’m turning seven”. To which quinn replied, “Oh that’s right you are!”. You chuckled at the interaction. He’s always so gentle with her. It makes your heart melt every time.

“Alright, you two let’s get our swimsuits on the party is going to start soon,” you said. Maya quickly jumped out of Quinns arms after that. Shortly, after that people started arriving. Luke and Jack were first to show up, Maya was so excited to see her favorite uncles! She ran up out of the pool and yelled to them,” LUKEY. JACK. HIII”. She proceeded to get them both a big wet hug. It’s a good thing they were wearing their swimsuits. Next to arrive was your parents and following them were her other grandparents.

Then all of Maya’s friends she invited started to show up and it was getting busy. You were busy talking to all the parent when you heard a bunch of squeals coming from the pool. When you turned around you saw the mermaid in the pool. You looked over at Quinn who had a smile plastered on his face and taking pictures. He had done it. This was definitely going to be the birthday party of the year, you thought. That’s when you heard Maya yell, “MOM AND DAD LOOK A REAL MERMAID!” Jack and Luke laughed at her excitement.

The girls talked and played with the actor mermaid for some time. Then it was time for her to leave to the girls disappointed. That’s when you told them it was time for cake, it cheered them up quickly. You guys Sang Happy Birthday to her and opened presents.

The day had gone by in a blink of an eye. Maya had been bathed and you and Quinn were putting her to bed. You guys read her a bedtime story about mermaids for the occasion. After the story was finished Maya yawned and sleepily told you guys thank you for the best party ever. You got up to leave and get ready for bed, but when you got to the door. You heard Quinn tell Maya he was so grateful for her and mom and dad would love her forever. He tucked her into bed and snuck out into the hall where you were. He hugged you so tight, kissed you on the head, and said “Thank you for giving me my greatest gift in life”.

Heyyy I saw your dino short fic can I request the same for gerhard fra from delico's nursery?? Please 🥺🙏

The Fra house was hosting it's annual party. It was a tradition in the Fall for the house to have a gathering for close friends and family to come together before the colder weather come. You had just placed your infant son, Angelico, to sleep. While the Fra house had maids and nurses to tend to the baby, he found your 'Do-it-yourself-' Attitude a bit of a pain as you could spend it getting more ravishing than usual. Armed with your glasses on and curly hair up in a simple yet elegant style.

You wore a rich red and black dress, the colors of the House of Fra, and your spicy cardamom perfume that he knew you liked, it was his favorite too. When you descended the stairs to greet your guests, he left you to your own devices, confident that you were safe with your three younger sisters that came. Dali and Frida came as expected, and he congratulated Frida on her pregnancy. The night progressed where one aristocrat had perhaps gotten a bit too drunk and his gaze was targeted at the Lady Fra.

"Lucky bastard to have a pretty thing...I'd keep you warm in bed" Was what caught Gerhards attention as he turned and soon found you in front, keeping your sister from the lecherous words and gaze of the man. Excusing himself, Dali even followed to try and help his wife and sisters. "Sir, perhaps it is time for you to retire-" You replied as the sight of your husband and Dali was relief. The drunken man placed his hand on your waist as he slurred "Pretty Tits on you, maybe you sho' follow me." And that was enough to cause Gerhard to placed a firm gloved hand on his shoulder, pulling him off as to place himself between you, your sisters and him.

"You insult the lady of the house! I will personally see you out!" Gerhard replied as guards came to pull the man out as Gerhard took you to a private room of the library to speak. "Are you alright, my love?" He asked as he held onto your cheek. He could tell your nerves were rattled as he was close but also kept space incase you needed it, but you were close to him as his presence was security enough to regain your composure. "I'm fine, Gerhard... I've never been treated like that or spoken like that before...It surprised me more than anything. "You replied as the Gerhard then adds "You should have called me over sooner instead of trying to solve it. Drunken fools won't listen to pretty women, especially women of the house." He lightly scolded, causing you to pout where he then gave a huff.

He hated when you were stubborn and so he decided to make a point by pinning you against the books, the force enough to knock one or two books out as he then said "If I were lesser than, I'd thought you were looking for the attention" He replied. Before you could comment, you soon felt a his breath close to your pulse point. "Gerhard, what're you-!?" You were paused when he bit but didn't drink. You were a vampire, the bite means nothing other than territorial mark. "There....A reminder to the other drunken fools that you are mine and of the Fra. Do remember this" He replied as he cupped your chin, looking up at his wine red eyes.

You couldn't speak as you just sighed and nodded. The rich men often ignored women so it was his way of assuring his scent and mark kept you safe from the others who'd get the same idea. You placed your hand on the mark, feeling softly where Gerhard parted to then say "Shall I end the party or continue?"

Your word was law as the women run the house. You shook your head as you went over, holding onto his arm. "No, we should continue. I'd hate the Fra house to be seen as lesser cause of some drunk. I'll see my sisters off and return to you" You replied as Gerhard smiled as he's glad you got the point he was trying to make.

"Good....A proper aristocrat's wife you are."

[lovelettersforthedamned]

okay this request might be a little specific and long to get it out of my mind because I have major baby fever right now too but what about spending the holidays w/ peter and reader is pregnant but peter doesn’t know but the symptoms are so bad with motion sickness and no drinking and it’s obvious that the ladies in the family suspect and privately tell her it’s surely that bc also they can see it “in the face” but to peter he thinks he’s done something wrong🥺 and she’s acting weird but reader is just nervous

Your Well-Kept(?) Secret

--genre + trope: FLUFF, pregnancy reveal

--pairing: husband!tasm!peter parker x pregnant!wife!reader

--word count: 1.1k

--warnings: language, FLUFF OMG, mentions of pregnancy, mentions of alcohol, mentions of nausea, a bit of anxiety, reader is so anxious and nervous, peter is smitten by his wife.

You cover your mouth to muffle a strange mix of a laugh and cry in your cramped bathroom as you look down at the two lines on the pregnancy test, slowly growing darker. Placing the stick down on the cool counter, you run your hands through your hair. You’ve been feeling off for a few weeks, prompting you to run to the drug store and grab a test. 

Emotions were running high. You should be getting ready for Aunt May’s annual holiday party, but instead, you’re looking at yourself, or rather your belly, in the mirror. You weren’t sure what to feel, but you knew you were nervous. Fuck, what is Pete going to think? Of course, he loved you; without a doubt he did, but kids? The topic of kids was always a conversation for later, but now that it’s here, it scared you to death. 

Looking down at your phone, you check the time, quickly putting your emotions, and the test, aside. 

You and Peter have made it out the door, only a few minutes late. With one of his hands holding yours, and the other carrying a bottle of wine, Peter keeps you close. Walking to the subway gave you time to think. Thinking of both the good and the bad made your head swirl with anxiety. What if Pete gets mad? Can we even afford a kid right now? How far along am I? What would their name be? A soft, but tight squeeze pulls you out of your thoughts. Looking up at your husband, you give him a polite smile, “What’s up?”

“Nothing,” he rubs the back of your hand with his thumb, “you’re just a little quiet today. Are you feeling alright bug?”

His constant worry for you makes you squeeze his hand in return, “Yeah, I’m okay, just a little tired.” He nods, accepting your answer for now. He always knew when something was off when it came to you, and this time was no exception. 

After a quick ride, and a few blocks later, you make it to Aunt May’s, her street filled with a row of parked cars on each side. “Wow, May invited a lot of people this year. I wonder if she invited the Blake’s across the street, their charcuterie board was so good last year,” Peter looks at you as he quips. 

You nod, bringing your hand up farther onto Peter’s arm to pull him closer, a sudden rush of nausea washing over your senses. 

Peter takes note of this, furrowing his eyebrows in concern while he reaches out to press the doorbell. Aunt May opens the door, her eyes lighting up when she sees the two of you, “You guys made it! Come in, come in. Oh, you look so pretty (Y/N)! The Blakes are here with their charcuterie board again, they’ve somehow found a way to double the size; but hey, I’m not complaining.”

May was clearly running around before greeting you guys, her rambling giving it away. You giggle at her excitement, you knew that she loved hosting, especially when you and Peter were able to visit. 

After making your rounds, you follow Peter into the kitchen, the alcohol coming into view. He grabs a beer for himself and starts to uncork the wine he brought to pour for you. Bringing a hand up to land on his arm, you stop him, “I don’t feel like drinking tonight, baby.”

He looks at you and puts the bottle down, “Okay. Can I get you anything else, bug?”

“Just water is good for me, thank you,” you smile at him as he turns around and walks away to get water. 

You sigh as you see his back walk away from you, you’re not sure how much longer you can keep up this act. The thought of keeping this from your husband adds to your nausea, but keeping it together is at the forefront of your mind. Looking down, you take a breath, only looking back up when you see one of May’s friends from work standing in front of you. You’re slightly shocked by her appearance, “Hi Miriam, how have you been? I haven’t seen you in a while.”

“(Y/N), it is so good to see you. I’ve been good, well, as good as a nurse during the holiday season can be,” she laughs, leaning in close, “I’ve just been meaning to ask if you’ve been feeling alright?”

You freeze in place, “Yeah, I’m just a little tired today, but nothing to worry about.”

“Good, good…You haven’t been feeling nauseous or anything like that?” a teasing tone lacing through her words. 

Silence. You can’t even respond. You’re baffled, “Is it really that obvious?”

A warm smile appears on her features as she rubs a hand up and down your arm, “Oh, honey…You’re surrounded by women who work in a hospital, we could see it in your face.”

You feel your cheeks warm at her confession, “Miriam, I’m so nervous. Peter doesn’t know yet.”

“You shouldn’t be a sweetheart. He is in love with you, has been for forever, even before you two were even dating,” she laughs, “you know Peter. And you know who he is, would he ever be upset at you for something like this?”

This may be what you need. Reassurance that came from someone else was always more believable than when it came from yourself. God! You feel so stupid for thinking that Peter would be mad at you for this. Looking at the older woman, you smile and shake your head.

Out of the corner of your eye, you see Peter walking back with a water bottle in his hand, “Sorry bug, I got held up by one of May’s cousins. Apparently, he was there when I was born, and he just had to tell me all about it–Oh hey Miriam!”

After a few short minutes of small talk between the two, she walks away, not before winking at you as she turns her head.

 “Hey, we’re alright,” Peter’s voice, low and filled with worry, lingers throughout the air, “right?”

Bringing a hand up to his cheek, you copy the movement he displayed on your hand from earlier, “Yeah, we’re okay. I love you so so much, Pete.”

“I love you too, (Y/N).”

Placing the softest peck on his lips, you grab his hand, “C’mon, I saw May bring out raspberry thumbprints, and I need to snag some before everyone else can get to them.”

Your worries were at ease; that was the least you could ask for on this day, surrounded by friends, family, and most of all your husband. Your loving, caring, obnoxiously kind husband. You’ll tell him later, but today is all about each other, and the Blake’s charcuterie board.

[midnight--sadness]

Some more found family thoughts but it's a Saturday and Gihun is going out with a friend to have some fun!

The day before, Hyunju texted Gihun if he wanted to go see Swan Lake ballet with her. She got the two tickets from a coworker who couldn't make it, and of course Gihun wants to go! 🦢🩰

Gihun getting ready for a day out with his bestie~ But he wondered if he should prepare something for Inho and the kids before leaving. Inho wrapping his arms around his waist, saying "You don't need to worry about that. Go out and enjoy your day, alright?" he took Gihun's hand and pressed a kiss on it. Both had the half a mind to have a quickie right there but stopped that thought when they heard footsteps of the children getting closer. And Gihun doesn't want to be late.

He says goodbye with hugs and kisses for everyone, then meeting up with Hyunju at the subway station (they just prefer public transport than cars, they feel like they can be more social that way and have better views of the enviroments). First they're going to a fancy café where they're grabbing a bite to eat. I can imagine Hyunju and Gihun catching up together, talking about everything and anything 🥺

Meanwhile back at the house, Inho doesn't want this Saturday to be very boring for his children, so they're going to hang out at the spacious backyard. Bringing out the big guns, SPORTS ⚽️🎾🏐🏸 KEEP THE BLOOD PUMPING or read a book by the bench, it's up to them. But everyone's included and encouraged to have fun when they get to play together 🥹 some good activities, you know?

Hyunju and Gihun loved Swan Lake, it is a timeless masterpiece after all. After the performance it's time to decide on what to eat for dinner, a very difficult task (true story: this is me and my best friend whenever we go out because we're both so indecisive lolsjdjdkjf). They go for vietnamese phở! 🍲 while Inho and the kids are making sichuan malatang hotpot. Inho is really good at delegating tasks, some of the kids are cutting up vegetables and the others are preparing the sidedishes.

Before Gihun and Hyunju part ways to return to their homes, Gihun felt the need to make a quick stop at a convenience store to buy some snacks for his children and husband 🥺 Hyunju thinks that is so cute of him, and she's right! Gihun with his endless kindness pays for Hyunju's snacks too. Without her even asking! Hyunju says she owes him but Gihun refuses, this is just something he loves to do 🤍

When he finally enters his home, Gihun sees everyone on the sofa watching a movie together (it's Forrest Gump). The kids are curled up besides Inho. Gayeong is sleeping on his lap. Oh, my babies 🥹 Gihun thought to himself, feeling his heart soar.

However when Gihun placed the shopping bags full of snacks on the kitchen counter, the movie was paused and all the children sprung back to life as they heard the rustle, rushing towards it (like cats djskfjskdb). They didn't dig in before saying hello and hugging their mom, obviously! Inho shook his head and chuckled, standing up to walk over so he can give Gihun a peck on the lips. Well, not just one peck but maybe three or four, he is glad Gihun got to be with his friend today - but he did miss his wife a lot 🤍

They resumed watching the movie and stayed up until after midnight, maybe playing a boardgame or having deep conversations about life, just bonding with each other. Because the children spent the whole day with Inho, they still sat close to him. What a beautiful home 🥰

this is absolutely perfect, stunning, amazing, briliant!!! 💖🤧🥹 i have no notes!!

i especially love gihun and hyunju's friendship!! she hadn't appeared in this au yet bc i can see her and gihun being co owning like a coffee shop/bakery thing!!

[prismaticpichu]

✨ Sephiroth Fair: Fic #1 ✨

Sephiroth glanced up at the sound of soft, approaching footsteps, streaks of fresh starlight braiding through his hair as he turned towards the stairs, surprised yet unbothered to see Mary Fair descending into the moonlit den—tousled black hair and a sleeprobe telling him that the woman had just gotten out of bed.

"...Is everything alright?" Sephiroth asked instinctively, his voice a purposeful whisper, a vise of anxiety quietly gripping his heart. Could there be a monster in the area, a threat? Should he warn the town? Should he wake Zack? Should he...?—

But a single smile from the other diminished all his paranoia at once.

"Everything's fine," she assured, assuaged. "Just wanted to grab a glass of water."

...Ah, right. Of course. Relief immediately flooded through the man's chest, veiling the vague sheepishness behind his bangs. It was all still raw, the whole situation... He still didn't even think he swallowed all his incredulity yet, or even fully digested that this was his reality—his life. It wasn't a fantasy; it wasn't a dream; it wasn't something that would go away when he opened his eyes, finding himself back in his quarters at ShinRa, back on a mission, back in the lab...

He would wake up the next day, and it would all still be here.

He wasn't going to lose this place.

"My goodness... he's sleeping like a log."

Mary's smiley, amused whisper reined Sephiroth back to the present. He blinked, staring for a beat, then glanced back at the younger man slumped against his shoulder—breathing rhythmically, draped in a blanket, sound asleep...

His anxieties drifted away, budding a soft smile in their wake.

"...Heh. Yes." Sephiroth gazed fondly at his dear friend. "He decided my shoulder would make for the most convenient pillow."

Mary chuckled, leaning a bit against the banister. "How are you going to move him?"

Sephiroth's answer was immediate, knowing: "I won't."

"Oh, but it's so late... Don't you want to get some rest, dear?"

"Believe me..." Sephiroth gently shook his head, the silver strands brushing against Zack's valley of quills. "This isn't my first time."

"...Oh?" Now her voice carried an air of question, interest.

Sephiroth nodded. "Mmhmm. Several nights he would come to my quarters, drained, and insist on staying. Perhaps we would watch a movie, or whatever slop was on the television…" The emerald eyes seemed to glint as he canted his head, fondly observing Zack as he shifted and squirmed and murmured some sleep-drenched nonsense in his slumber. "And it wasn't much longer after I turned on the television that I found myself serving as a bed..."

The fondness could not be bridled in Mary's voice, her laughter rippling murmuringly through the half-sleeping house, her eyes impossibly soft and sweet and grateful as she continued to gaze at the precious sight before her—an almost magical spectacle, a bond so sincere and whole that it could set the whole alight with its warmth, could serve as the sun, and nobody would know the difference...

Her smile broadened, gazing at the man who had once stood nothing more than a splotch of ink on their kitchen table, gazing at the man who had taken such good care of her son. She watched as Sephiroth pulled the blanket tighter around Zack's shoulders, as his own smile softened, as his eyes glinted with a protectiveness and love so profound that she thanked every star in the sky that Sephiroth was with them now—that Zack had snatched the morning papers from her husband's hands, that he gaped and awed at the SOLDIER who posed in those photographs, that he declared then and there that he was going to join ShinRa...

Everything happened for a reason, she always told herself—a common Gongagan belief.

And that belief had been unfolded so beautifully in front of her.

"...He's so lucky to have you, Sephiroth..."

Sephiroth again blinked, suddenly grateful that he was facing Zack instead of Mary—if only because, that way, the onlty person to see the swell of warmth that flared (unbidden) onto his cheeks was sound asleep, dreaming. His hair curtained the rest.

...Lucky? Had his presence ever been described as such? Certainly a burden, a dream, maybe even an honor—

What are you talking about? You nearly...!

Suddenly, Sephiroth's eyes flared with memory, his cheeks and chest blazing with ice, alight with horrid images.

You hurt him...

You could have killed...

You...—

Then, just as abruptly, Sephiroth closed his eyes..

...No. It was over; it was scabbing.

He focused, just like Zack had taught him

The town was healing... Strife was safe; Tifa was safe; he was safe...

He breathed; he inhaled, exhaled even slower...

Zack was safe...

One... two........ three.

He opened his eyes, and he was still here.

He wasn't going to lose this place.

"...Mmn," he finally said, returning to Mary's statement just some short seconds later, the fond smile thawing back his expression as he gazed back at Zack—scarred cheek pressed against his own, "...And I am blessed to have him..." He paused, his swallow much thicker than expected, turning his gaze toward Mary, "...as well as this family."

Mary's smile could have turned the night to daylight. "Oh..." She reached out, gently ruffling Sephiroth's hair through the railing. "And we are blessed to have you, too, dear..."

Sephiroth had to clear his throat to avoid... whatever sound wanted to break through it.

Smiling still, Mary withdrew her hand, sensing the overload of affection still needed to be gradual, exposed to. "Try to get some sleep, Sephiroth. I'm sure Zack would be angry if you didn't."

"...Heh,” Sephiroth couldn’t help but chuckle, pillowing his head against Zack's feathery, harmless spikes. "...That he would.” He closed his eyes, sighing peacefully.

“Goodnight, Sephiroth.”

“Goodnight.”

By the time Mary returned from the kitchen, a glass of water in hand, the two brothers were sound asleep.

Nukani Theories (again) after crying to chapter 16

Y'all alright after chapter 16? Cause I'm certainly NOT. Holy shit, I can't believe I'm so wrong and so right at the same time.

Past this is spoiler for those that haven't played Nukani chapter 16, so read at your own risk

Like, I was sure that Huey is the one that "created" Eiden and Rin, but for him to be someone that have no emotion, so much so that the android Blade seemed more human?? And for him to be a vessel that need to reboot his memories and feeling every cycles..... Eiden is so right. It is so sad 🥺💔 (Does that means Blade's standard SSR is actually a foreshadowing all this time?? 😭😭😭) and more interesting, we finally confirm why Eiden can't do magic despite having huge essence, cause all those knowledge and talent is in Rin's possesion.

Honestly tho, I think that the most I was wrong is that Huey actually NEVER wants Eiden to come back and become his successor, instead, he wants Eiden to live a happy live free from all the trouble and danger that essence and magic brings (God, Huey is actually such a softie, being emotinless aside. I love him so much already❤️😭) (but it's crazy how I manage to pin down eiden being "cursed" to be emotionless tho (even if it's not a curse, more like a requirement to be a true Grand Sorcerer?))

(But at the same time, Morvay working with Rin make less sense now since apparently Rin didn't spill his plan? So Morvay is just a worried softrie that just don't want Aster to see Huey's "vessel" I guess)

It's kinda sweet tho that the current gemholders and familiars, THEY are the ones who made Huey consider living for himself, the consequences not withstanding (lmao, he's dying and doesn't care that the world comes down with him)

now, this where the theory comes in: what will happened next?

First, we know from X event that this is just part one of main story. What makes me curious (and almost crazy thinking about it) is just HOW the devs gonna connect this with limited events? Like, starting from Starlit Glimmer (first Dante event) it became clear that every limited events since then could only happened in the future, because chapter 9-16 does not have sufficient time skip for events to happen between them. (Seriously, it's one disaster after another with NO break in between) From those events, we can gather:

Huey is still gone, and the clans still trying to search for his traces or artifacts (sunburst and gambling paradise)

Rei and Blade have know each other, and becoming familiar with e/o (sunburst, again, and fanciful diccaprio)

The wizard club and their connection with royal family is still unclear (gambling paradise)

Eiden seemingly do not know about Huey's connection to Silver Crane nor his adventure in Saia despite him "witnessing" Huey's past

And so, I have 4 main theories based on the choice given to us by devs:

Huey will never come back, and Rin either left to experience Eiden's world or travel around Klein, hence he's gone for the time being. Eiden and the clan have a rest time enough for limited events to happened, with the current biggest trouble is just making sure Huey's artifacts does not fall into the wrong hand, and part 2 started with Rei's dark wizard club taking more agressive stance now that they think Eiden is the source behind the disasters and the royal family also have a potentially dangerous big secret. Also, Rin coming back to become the last harem member (option D in X)

Eiden went back to his world, only to be saved by clan members that called him back with rin's help. After that they found out Huey have a chance to be saved, maybe by the elemental spirits that loved him so much and Rin goes out on an adventure to search for clues, time-skip events, and part 2 started by Rin coming back with a way to save Huey, him officially joining the clan, and they race with dark wizard club on who can ressurect Huey first, since the club wanted a "blank state" Huey for their bidding. End up with Huey becoming the last harem member (trust 🤞😫) (option A in X)

Time rewind, just not exactly right. Everyone lost their memories except for Rin, who figured out despite in the past, the altars felt like they've been recently regulated to perfection. Eiden lived in earth feeling deja vu his entire life, only to be called back to Klein. There, the 2nd meeting with the clan goes on a happier notes since none of the disaster happened, they do those limited events, and part 2 started when (once again) dark wizard club doing some shady things and Eiden felt like something is not right. Cue to Rin who apparently still watched over them the entire time, and he saves Eiden from the dark wizards (option C. in X)

And the most unlikely but fun theory, what if the rebound from essence caused Eiden to be transported to another world, and we have 3 option, either he's alone, with Rin, or with Huey's consciousness (I prefer option 3 lol). Eiden adventuring in a new world and need to work together with Huey/Rin so Eiden can go back. Meanwhile in Klein the clans go crazy searching for him, maybe then clan need to learn to work together with Rin without eiden's help if Rin did not follow Eiden, and we got this 2-side story where we jumped from Klein side to Eiden's side back to back. Of course the dark wizard club also become a problem here too lol. (Option B in X)

Last option actually hit the hardest, cause it meant the posssibility of limited events NOT cannon, which mean we regress to before everything we learned in those. Every sweet moments, every fun and sad memories, and especially the relationship progress with Eiden that the clan made in these events could be some sort of alternate timeline that did not actually happened (and had no chance of happening) in Main Timeline.

Anyway, guess how many times I text "dark wizard club" honestly my hands are aching rn. But last theory, and this one not related to main story, we already got Eiden SSR with familiars, selfcest, 3some, maybe this year card is Eiden meeting Huey's consciousness once again and they you-know-what lmao 😏😏

Hi! Can I ask for... Some couple headcanons for Zoe and Jones, pretty please? 🥺

I'll request ❤💛💙💜🖤💔💘💟😍 if you don't mind!

I hope it's not too overwhelming, have a good day/night!!

Of course, you can! And don’t worry; it's never too much to request headcanons from me! (So long as you don’t mind waiting a while for the answers sometimes…😅)

These two had such a beautiful love story with a tragic ending… After everything they went through (especially Zoe), they deserved a happily ever after! Why couldn't we have a wedding instead of a funeral?! I would have loved to have seen them get a better ending than canon…😭

So, to lift my spirits, let me see what headcanons I can create to give Zovid some well-deserved love!

(Warning for NSFW under the cut.)

♥️ Fight/makeup headcanons:

Jones and Zoe don’t fight often, but they have had disagreements. When they do fight, they’ll separate before or after reaching their limit and step away to cool down. Once they’ve had enough time to calm down and clear their heads separately, they’ll apologize for fighting and work together to fix the issue or move past the problem. Sometimes, it's not easy to find the solution, but they’ll do it together, and their relationship will always grow stronger as they learn to be better towards and for each other.

💛 Making each other laugh headcanons:

Jones loves making Zoe laugh by telling jokes or acting silly. His girlfriend always laughs at his jokes, even if they’re terrible, and will play along with his silly antics. Zoe can easily make Jones laugh by playfully teasing him until he gives her a smile. She likes doing this when Jones is feeling sad to help brighten his day.

💙 Claiming each other headcanons:

As Jones is known for his temper (though it has improved), it still doesn't take much to light a fire in him sometimes. When he does get angry, Zoe remains calm and uses her training to help him relax. Sometimes, she must wait for him to get his anger out by ranting, but she is patient. She’ll listen and talk to him so he knows he’s not alone in his anger and that she’s there for him. Once Jones has calmed down, Zoe will hug or kiss him to remind him that there is more to him than just anger, but it is alright for him to let his emotions out so they don't eat away at him.

Zoe has a much milder temper than Jones’s, but she’s more prone to getting worked up, especially with some of the things she sees through work. Seeing the conditions some of the kids are forced to live in is heartbreaking, and sometimes Zoe just needed to take a moment to let herself cry about the world's unfairness. She’s a very compassionate and empathetic person, and when she needs to let herself cry, Jones will be there to hold her. He knows not to promise that everything will be alright and get better because the sad reality is that is a wish that cannot always come true. But that doesn't mean he won’t do what he can to help Zoe feel better and remind her that she is helping to improve people’s lives; it just won’t happen instantly or how she might think, but things can improve in time.

💜 Planning the future headcanons:

Before Zoe was kidnapped, Jones and she had talked about their future together. Since Jones has been married before, he wanted them to discuss it and consider everything before taking the big leap into marriage. They also talked about the possibility of having children. During his first marriage, Jones was worried about starting a family, but with Zoe, he felt they could have a happy family together. Sometimes, he would dream about a future where they had a kid or two who shared their features. Zoe would, too, and knows Jones would make a wonderful father, and she would love to start a family with him.

After Zoe was found and recovering from her kidnapping, Jones never brought up discussing their future together. He wanted Zoe to be able to focus on her recovery without worrying about the future. But after her memories returned, she and Jones began discussing their future. It may never be like they had imagined before the kidnapping, but they could still have a happily ever after together.

🖤 Sex headcanons:

Zoe and Jones didn’t have sex until they had been dating for some months. As quickly as their love grew, they still wanted to get to know each other before introducing intimacy to their relationship. When they were ready to take that next step, Zoe and Jones had never felt so connected to another person. It was a night of love and passion, exploring each other’s bodies in new, exciting ways. Basking in the afterglow felt like coming down from cloud nine. Following this night, they began having more intimate moments (some kinkier than others), but all of them were filled with love and deviation from each other.

💔 Bad date headcanons:

The first time Jones had Zoe over to his house for a dinner date, he would swear everything that could go wrong did! Some of the food was burnt, some was undercooked, the wine was terrible, and Astrid threw up on Zoe’s shoes. The only thing that did go right was the dessert, but Jones worried a chocolate cake wouldn’t be able to salvage the evening… But to his pleasant surprise, Zoe didn’t dump him and, in fact, told him it was one of the most memorable dates she’d ever had! Sure, maybe not for all the right reasons, but she could tell everything he did had all his love put into it, and that was more important to her than some wine and chicken.

💘 First meeting headcanons:

One HC I have for how they met was through work. Jones was working on a case that required them to call in social services due to a child being involved. Zoe was the case worker who responded, and that’s how the two became acquainted. Jones and Zoe kept in contact for work-related reasons, but after the case was closed, Jones wanted to get to know Zoe better outside of their jobs. So, he invited her out for coffee, which led to a second date, then a third, fourth, fifth… Eventually, they lost track of the number of dates they’d had. But that didn’t matter as their love grew with every date they had.

💟 Night headcanons:

Jones and Zoe love spending a cozy night in relaxing together after work. Sometimes, they’ll watch a show or movie together; other times, they’ll read or play a game. When it’s time for bed, the couple will go through their nightly routine before climbing into bed. Astrid loves snuggling with her favourite humans, and Zoe always cuddles her close while Jones spoons his girlfriend.

😍 Expressing love headcanons:

Jones expresses his love through acts of love as he sometimes has a bad habit of “putting his foot in his mouth,” so he lets his actions speak louder than his words. He loves showing his love for Zoe by doing things for her, from small acts like making her coffee to bigger things like fixing stuff around her house. Seeing her happy because of his acts of love always makes Jones happier, and if he can do something to make Zoe smile, especially on her sad days, Jones will do everything he can to make sure she knows how much he loves her and put that beautiful smile back on her face.

Zoe expresses her love through words. Unlike Jones, she is well-versed in selecting the right words for almost every situation, and telling people how much she loves them is no exception. She knows Jones also struggles with his self-esteem, so Zoe makes sure to remind him how wonderful he is in addition to her love for him. She adores watching Jones melt in happiness (and sometimes blushing in embarrassment) as she tells him how much she loves him, how amazing he is, and how lucky she is to have him in her life.

These two are so cute! Can I give them a better ending in my series? PLEASE??🥺

(I’ll have to see if I can do something to give them a well-deserved happier ending once I reach season 5… No promises, though!)

Thank you for the request!

[ilions-end]

i read oedipus at colonus, ie the least well known play of sophocles' theban trilogy! i didn't know about this play for the longest time, boy was i surprised!

thoughtsss

okay, see, i'm not crazy about prophecies. like, as a narrative device. one or two are alright to grease up the wheels of myth, but ohhh my god is EVERY second of oedipus' life accounted for in some prophecy or other? even the other characters are asking him for prophecies. did blinding himself turn him into pseudo-tiresias or what

(i still don't fully understand the prophecy about his burial place tbh. likely i'm just dumb)

honestly i found the real-world theories/things about this play more interesting than the play itself. the idea that sophocles wrote this towards the end of his own life; how it's about acknowledging your past mistakes at peace with your own mortality, and being granted a blessed death despite your sins; the fact that sophocles was born at colonus. how he died before the play could be produced, and it was his son who put on this play about familial duties and grief and love concerning a father's death... many things to ponder

but yeah, there is some closure in seeing oedipus having learned to respect fate and prophecies instead of fighting against them

unsurprisingly i thought the oedipodionides were the most interesting part. poor antigone mostly reduced to a silent crutch with no room for action, but with her heart on her sleeve. ismene's role as a messenger and avatar. how oedipus keeps pointing out his daughters are active and brave like sons and his sons are passive and vain like daughters.

there's something very silly and wonderful about polynices turning his big wet cow eyes to his sisters and saying "hey so you would give me proper burial rites if i was killed, right? you wouldn't let my corpse rot or be carrion? you'd never be able to live with yourself if you let that happen, right? 🥺"

TYDEUS MENTIONED

it's a pity oedipus dies before his sons in this one (i'm permanently thebaid-brained, sorry), but there IS something delightfully horrible about polynices learning ahead of time that his campaign against thebes is well and truly doomed, and his solution is "well there's nothing doing but to lie to my friends about it and march us all into our deaths i guess! bye!"

i had to laugh at the chorus hounding oedipus like "ohhh my god we heard you killed your father and fucked your mother tell us all about it!!" "yes, unfortunately i killed my father and fucked my mother." "OH MY GOD ARE YOU FOR REALLLL?? JESUS CHRIST WHAT ARE YOU SAYING I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS"

i also enjoyed creon coming in at his most typical like "THE LAWS OF THEBES THE LAWS OF THEBES" and then theseus is like "haha no, MY laws. ATHENS' laws here, baby *finger guns*"

(i also don't fully understand the succession timeline, or exactly who banished oedipus. creon and eteocles are like schroedinger's kings, one or neither or both are rulers of thebes at any point in time)

"I won't cry for you" - Yandere Tyler Galpin x Female Reader PART 3

•Part 1 •Part 2

Words: 1699

Warnings: Mentions of torture, psychology, dysfunction yet healthy family relations if you squint.

Show: Wednesday (2022)

Summary: You've graciously or stupidly, granted Tyler a phone to call his father for whatever reason he had while you went to call yours for assistance. And since you weren't fully knowledgeable about Hydes, you contacted the only person you knew, who wasn't in prison, that had that knowledge. Your father, Alvin Gates.

• •

🥺 Sorryyyy this took forever a lot of months, planned to post this at February but got sick and many stuff happened, preparing for an interview :--D but am back in my writing mojo!/kinda, HAPPY HALLOWEEN) AND I HEARD season 2 is coming omggg I'm excited

————

"Well, well, well~ If it isn't the sweet consequence of my actions with your mother." A voice unmistakably grouchy speaks, sounding jovial with every word out.

A quick glance to your locked bedroom door before you finally said a response into the cellphone.

"You sound well, father." You mildly greeted, a tinge of a smile in your voice. To think it's almost only been a month since the last call.

"Yeah yeah it's been a while but cut the chitchat, sweetie, what do you need helping with?" You could imagine an eyeroll as your father said, always cutting to the chase.

"About Hydes." You spared no other detail and maintained calm articulation. Not that you needed to be careful with him, thankfully.

For more precaution, it's better if not even your own father knows about Tyler being in the house. You didn't want things to get out of hand.

"Ah- what about them? Did something happen that isn't supposed to–" Suddenly silence overtook the line, a thoughtful humming until he spoke again. "Don't get yourself into any unfamiliar territory, kid. That's suppose to be your mother's speciality."

So he noticed, of course he did. Better leave that to his wandering imagination than spoil your plan. A very non-existent plan at the moment.

"I don't plan to. Father, I was just curious since I kept hearing about them." True, that wasn't a lie in the slightest. "I was wondering if you'd know anything about them."

Surely he must know something.

"Hmm, you heard it from someone, no doubt. . . Alright, alright. What do you want to know exactly, kid. I'll tell ya as much as I can afford to." Sounds like mother has been keeping tabs on him.

"Hydes obey only one master, their own, correct?" You continued when father hummed a helpful tune, "would it be possible to sever the ties between a Hyde and its master."

A pause in-between your father's breathing left you suspended.

"Well. . . Got bad news for you kid, I don't know any available methods for that." He sighed gruffy like he felt bad, "sorry but can't help you with the whole severing business. It's set in stone, pretty much."

"I see. . . " You massaged your temples, disappoinment rising inside you. But you couldn't just accept this answer easily, stubbornness seemed to take hold in your heart. For what reason? You couldn't figure out.

"However–" A hoarse chuckle emerged from your cellphone. "It's not entirely impossible to say there aren't other ways of solving that problem. I'm sure you can get some creative ideas from their origins, kid. Only one thing is set in stone, Hydes only serve one master."

Father's bold hint sparked a lightbulb in your head. Their origins.

In the first place, what caused Hydes to bond an undying loyalty to their masters was–

"Sorry for not being alot of help, kid, I'm out of time for the day. Take good care of yourself, will you."

"I will." A buzz of excitement slowly crept over you as an idea began running through your mind. "You were very helpful, dad, thanks. You take care too."

"Mm sounds like you found an answer eh?" He sounded genuinely happy, making you feel much more sturdy in this new plan.

"Not exactly but I should be on the right track." If Tyler would go along with it.

"Mm so you're going to try any attempts, I see. Hah– it's hilarious how similar you and your mother's thinking is!"

Again with the comparisons. You rolled your eyes, "Goodbye, father."

"Alright alright, see ya kiddo. For now." BEEP. BEEP.

The call was over already.

.  .  .

You turned off the burner phone, picking out the block of battery from the back and saving it in your other hiding space for another time. Now you should check on Tyler, you can't afford to trust him so easily especially when his father's a sheriff. 

Quietly you went out of your bedroom, closing the door slowly so as to not make a sound. You headed down the stairs in a casual, fast pace to quickly see his state of mind.

But it's likely he isn't planning to screw himself over... Your assumption was most likely made correct when you came to see Tyler sitting slumped on the couch, his face buried deep in his hands. 

Sweeping your gaze across the living room and floor, the burner phone you gave him was nowhere in sight… Mentally noting to check the trash bin by the kitchen before you stomped down the stairs and made yourself known.

Tyler's eyes peeked up first from the gaps in-between his fingers like the leafy venus flytraps back home ever so often tempting you to closer inspect. To place your finger in there, to feed. 

He waited on your next move.

Your arms folded, hiding your hands twitching on their own for a tweezer. "Did you have a good talk?" 

What else could you really say without sounding too interested in him. 

"It was something…" Tyler did a small shrug, less energy than he's shown before, voice dulled by the cover of his fingers. "Could've gone better. I wish he didn't hang up so fast."

"What did you talk about?" Might as well see how much information he was willing to give.

A small sigh, Tyler slowly revealed half of his distraught face. "Not a lot. He wasn't interested in what I had to say… Told me to be careful." Strange of the dutiful sheriff to say but then again you didn't know what kind of father-son relationship they had.

"How are you feeling?" One of mother's favourite lines growing up that you've somehow adapted into your vocabulary. It seemed the most appropriate.

You continued watching Tyler's tensed form with a safe but short distance away, the coffee table acting as a possible shield in between you and him. Incase he raged.

But there was none.

There was something in his usual silence this time that irked you. Like he didn't fully trust you. 

You approved of that, as he shouldn't. Mutually. Especially if things ever go wrong because of him, you were ready at a moment's notice to abandon everything to do with him. 

"I… Hate him." 

The pause went on for however many tensed seconds before Tyler's hands fell onto his knees.

"Sorry sorry, I know I shouldn't be saying this… I mean I can't say I don't miss him." 

"You can say what you want. I don't mind," you said flatly, genuinely meaning it. His expressions stiff, he looked mentally pent up, thoughts practically steaming out from his ears.

"No, it's fine. You've done a lot for me already, I owe you." He grinned brightly, the dark cloud looming over from before gone in an instant, "for that phone call too."

"Sure," it wouldn't be bad to have a Hyde indebted to you.

Tyler checked the ticking clock on the kitchen wall, "I guess it is getting late… See you in the morning?"

You nodded. "Night, Galpin." 

"G-Good night! Have a good sleep." He smiled dopey, waving briskly while walking backwards to the foot of the stairs before jogging up to his bedroom. So naturally at home.

Just how eager was he to get back in his room?

 That wasn't his usual way of walking, what could he be looking forward to or hiding in there… Or he could just be relieved of stress after that talk with his father, maybe that brought about his new behavior.

Your suspicions were beginning to sound far-fetched even to yourself but then again, there was always that silver of possibility that he could be planning to rebel against you. 

So you moved fast towards the kitchen sink, tiny spikes of uneasiness pulsing through you, turning the facuet on and letting the water run loudly as you went to look into the trash bin.

Expecting to look down into a void of nothingness.

The large black plastic bag sleeved over the edge of the bin looked loose and puffy. Clearly you didn't do this, your meticulousness wouldn't allow such a lazy set up. You pat down the puffy areas, flattening the edges to allow better access in seeing what trash had been collected.

Shiny peices of black metal greet you at the bottom of the pit, tiny and almost powder-like glitter in the kitchen light. What previously used to be a burner phone now looked like the result of being in someone's clenched fist. Useful monsterous strength… if he could actually get it under his full control.

Whatever anxiety crept inside your heart disappeared as you contently spun on your heel and turned off the kitchen faucet. 

A small appreciation for Tyler as thanks to him, there's less work for you now.

You wondered why you even felt 'anxious' at all, it must've been the slight stress of knowing he could've screwed things up for you. And himself. Now that makes sense, of course since it's not as if you actually knew him personally even back in town. 

Feeling much more at peace, you headed towards your own bedroom, adjacent from Tyler's. His room barely made any noise except for the few inaudible mumbles and the faint use of his shower and the light peeking through from underneath his door. 

You never noticed before but he always had the lights turned on in there. Well, it's not as if you were the one paying the electrical bill. It was nothing noteworthy.

Once settling in your own bed and underneath your blanket in the cozy dark, sleep came easily… Until your brain jostled an interesting observation your very eyes must've slipped. 

In the trash bin, there was no sight of the small black piece. The memory card. 

The sim card. 

Despite his questionable actions, you chose to sleep, thoughts racing alongside a strange excitement building up in you. 

Oh what are you up to, Tyler Galpin.

Time was ticking. Neither on his or your side. He just didn't know it yet.

In the following morning you received a misscall from an unknown number. Father. He never contacts you first. There's nothing he needs that you could provide. It must be about the Hyde. 

Finally.

More child of mountains 🥺

More Cryptid Wild??? I will happily oblige.

I’ve already shared quite a bit about him! But here’s some things that I may have left out:

Wild is not as sensitive to changes in temperate has he is in canon. Since he’s a spirit made mostly of light, it takes a lot for him to feel cold or hot. He hangs out in hot springs because then he can actually feel something, and he can be found in Hebra just vibing in the snow for the same reason.

While it’s rare, he does change his clothes from time to time. Mostly, he wears armor to assist him with stealth, since he’s pretty terrible at it on his own. When he walks, it jingles like little bells. Like a Blupee! (This absolutely freaks Sky out, as he has Silent Realm trauma). The first time he ever changed out of his ruined Champion’s Tunic was to infiltrate the Yiga Clan Hideout. He wore the Sheikah set to be quieter and stole the Thunder Helm for the Gerudo without any consequence.

(He may also wear clothes to cover his glowing skin if needed. But in his own era, he doesn’t hang out in villages enough to need that. He’s rarely seen. And if anyone does see him, they know better than to approach. And in any other era, he relies on Hyrule’s glamour to hide him).

SPEAKING OF THE YIGA. This is not really Wild lore, but it’s IMPORTANT. The Yiga are not smart enough to connect the dots. They have no idea that the Child of the Mountains is the very same fallen hero that they’re out to kill. When Wild stole the Thunder Helm, they assumed that it was just one of Hylia’s pesky little spirits messing with them (which is pretty much the truth, to be fair). They fully 100% believe that the Hylian Champion Link is dead and has been for the past century (which is, again, true). Because of this, they are on the lookout for the new hero. They believe that since Link died a century ago and they’re still working to bring Ganon back, a new hero will be born to stop them. Their plan is to kill the new Link before he can pose a threat.

Even though the hero still exists. They’re… a little dumb, I guess, but they’re not technically wrong.

Cryptid Wild is family with every single spirit in the game. Koroks? Little siblings. Blupees? Little siblings. The Great Deku Tree is a father figure to him and the Lord of the Mountain is very close to him. The dragons are a little scatterbrained but he likes to hang out with them anyway. And Fairies! They may not be spirits, but they’re just little balls of spiritual magic and so Wild makes an effort to know every single one of them. He loves them.

He uses any/all pronouns. (More like he doesn’t have pronouns. Not a single one. He’s never heard of them before. I mostly use he/him for Wild since the Hyruleans of his era will typically use those pronouns in their stories but you must know that Wild legitimately does not care). He’s also aro/ace but he needs companionship. Poor lil guy can’t stand being alone, and while human presence overwhelms him sometimes, he’s super friendly around spirits. Any spirit. Looking at you, Wars.

Alright that was very long but I hope this is what you were looking for haha!

I was thinking of baby Percy AU again and just thought of what would happen if Poseidon just… lost her in Valhalla. There was an emergency meeting, he forgot babies shouldn’t be left alone. Left unsupervised, Percy promptly toddled off towards the sunset (the human side of Valhalla) and gets lost amongst the masses. The encounters I’m picturing:

Leonidas chilling in his hammock, reading his book and drinking his wine only to reach down (to get a refill) and grab a baby instead of a bottle. There’s a baby lost in the Sparta training grounds and this man is panicking.

Adam eating his grapes with his family only for his ears to pick up the unmistakable sound of a baby babbling nonsense. He stands immediately and, without saying a single word to his wife or sons, just runs off and comes back cradling a giggling baby which he promptly places on his lap while saying ‘our daughter now’. His family only nods and goes back to what they were doing, as if this is completely normal (it probably is)

Nikola Tesla finds a baby playing among the detritus of his last failed experiment and decides he has found a new student to teach the art of Science(tm) to. She can’t even speak yet? No matter! It’s never too early to learn! Besides, don’t you know babies’ brains are like sponges?? He can teach her so much!

Sasaki Kojiro is out there in the wilderness, becoming one with nature (or whatever it is that he does when he’s not training - is there a time when that man ever stopped?) only to all but trip over a baby lost in the woods. What does a man who only has swords in his mind do?? Why, hand her a stick and teach her how to swing it.

(Almost predictably, Lu Bu does the exact same thing except they meet on the edge of a cliff and he tells her to aim at the sky)

Qin Shi Huang finds a baby blocking his path and instead of doing something normal (like stopping to make sure she’s alright, look around for the parents maybe), simply picks her up, at once recognizes her as a princess (royalty recognizes royalty) and continues on his merry way (he’s heading towards his adoptive mom’s house to show off the new subject/little sister he picked up on the way - he’s gonna teach her everything she needs to know about ruling).

Raiden finds baby Percy in a restaurant - specifically, he finds her well-fed round little body sitting inside a (now empty) plater she had crawled inside of when no one was looking. Raiden orders another plate and the two enjoy a very pleasant lunch together before he takes her back to the sumo training area so she can watch him wrestle everyone into the ground. Percy’s clapping the whole time.

Jack finds her lost and whimpering while skulking around in dark alleyways and, being the gentleman he is, immediately kneels down to offer her a handkerchief, picking her up and looking around for any sign of the parents (lmao, just realized he’s the only one in this list alongside Leo who’s going to make his top priority be finding Percy’s guardian first)

Meanwhile, at the god’s side of Valhalla:

Hades: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LOST HER.

Poseidon: I told her to stay put.

Hades: SHE’S A BABY POSEIDON.

Poseidon: And? I was a baby once too and followed orders perfectly.

Zeus: and look how you turned out.

(They enlist Anubis to track her down)

THE RAIDEN ONE WHERE SHE EATS EVERYTHING ON THE PLATTER AKSJFJHFBV I CAN JUST IMAGINE HER CHUBBY CHEEKS 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

and the nikola one.... i feel like she's actually grow up with more than one brain cell if nikola's the one that raises her (full offense to poseidon lol)

I LOVE EVERY SCENARIO HERE SO MUCH. THE ADAM ONE IS ACTUALLY PRETTY CLOSE TO WHAT HAPPENS IN ACT TWO LOL

i bet you after this incident, they're gonna create the "percy alert". its basically the amber alert, but it's only to look for percy lmao 💀

[leynaeithnea]

Hey ley how are- GET IN THE WATER

oh wow that's weird I just wanted to- GET IN THE WATER

Okay this is getting ridiculous I'm just trying to- GET IN THE WATER

alright I give up, get in the water analysis? 🥺??

ISEGSIEGJG LOVE YOU, lets get in the water together, im sure some siren can take the suffering from us...ok....Here we go…..LONG awaited song…oh BOY

34. Get in the water

There you are, coward (I listened to this almost every single day since the trailer dropped. I did smth with me, the AUDACITY for Poseidon calling him a coward, BOY, he wasnt hiding BY CHOICE, however THAT LINE? HOT ahem..anyway)

I’ve been waiting for this moment For the perfect time to strike (for 10 years, patient man) When your home’s so close and you’ve reached your coast That’s when our paths collide (Thats just cruel. Bro, you couldve just come get him in Ogygia, he wouldve been GRATEFUL, but NOoooooOoo, now you gotta deal the the consequences of your own actions HAH, UNLESS he actually didnt know where Odysseus has been ofc >:) he just coincidentally comes across him and makes up some bs to keep his reputation, speaking of which) I’ve got a reputation I’ve got a name to uphold (smth smth ruthlessness is mercy, but also??? poseidon, you slaughtered 550 men, noone will think youre weak, get off your ego here) So I can’t go letting you walk Or else the world forgets I’m cold ( the world knows, the ocean is freezing) the instrumental here is so imposing and intimating, scary Now get in the water Get in the water (making…him??? DELIBERATELY GIVE UP? EXCUSE ME????? He’s MAKING HIM CHOOSE AGAIN, choose to give up, after FINIALLY Having found hope again, how has there ever been any other option for Odysseus than to break and give in to the monster? THERE HASNT this was inevitable, you can only push a man so far) Or I’ll raise the tide so high, all of Ithaca will die (HE IS MAKING HIM CHOOSE BETWEEN HIS FAMILY; WHICH HE LOVES; AND HIM COMING HOME; WHICH HAS BEEN HIS ONLY GOAL THIS IS SEOGHSEGUH AH) Get in the water (yes daddy, i mean, what?)

Wait (odysseus is speechless, things are happening too fast, he has no time to come up with a plan, retaliate, hes tired, he was so close to home, he cant just give up like this)

Get in the water (but Poseidon ignores him, and just demands compliance, because he’s a god)

Stop this, Please (Odysseus has no way out, hes begging, he’s TIRED; he just wants to go home)

I’ll make tidal waves so profound Both your wife and your son will drown (BUTTT Poseidon makes his threats even WORSE and points out specificly that either Odysseus lets himself get drowned by Poseidon OR give up his family (and then still die, probably)

No! (oh, this is a man close to breaking, do not threaten his family, if you read the odyssey you know how this ends poseidon, be smarter)

Get in the water Get in the water (and poseidon keeps repeating his threats) Don’t mistake my threats for bluff You have lived more than enough (OUCH, but also hot) I’ll take your son and gouge his eyes (OUCH???? HELLO??? I MEAN?? kinda fair, because that IS what Ody did with Polyphemus BUT ALSO??? NOT MY BOY TELEMACHUS POSEIDON SHUT UP) That is, unless you choose to die (THIS IS MONSTROUS, POSEIDON; BRO) Get in the water (ok yes we get it, at this point you gotta act on your threats poseidon)

Aren’t you tired, Poseidon? (…..OUCH? hello? Odysseus? are you really…MY GOD, okay so after everything, after learning ruthlessness and having that end with loosing it all AGAIN, after 7 YEARS on Calypso’s island, he doesnt want to fight Poseidon, he is just…tired. He’s asking this to Poseidon because HE is tired. He’s the one who is barely holding it together, he tries to give poseidon another chance, also we hear a heartbeat…..my god) It’s been ten years, how long will this go? (gods can hold grudges for eternity, but it gotta end one way or another, doesnt it? Jorges vocals…my guy) We’re both hurting from losses (Ody is just so tired man, someone let this man sleep, and yes poseidon is hurting from Polyphemus maiminig, but LIKE come on…..they both hurt each other, VERY Least in equal measure….) So why not leave this here and just go home? (*and just go home, his voice almost breaks, theres almost a slither of hope…)

I can’t (…he cant? he doesnt want to? why cant he? he almost sounds remorseful)

Maybe you could learn to forgive (ody sees an opening, a chance to negoiate…forgiveness….but)

No (…futile, but also, hot, but POSEIDON WHY)

Ruthlessness is…Mercy upon…Ourselves (here comes the tidal wave, shit)

DIE (what became of “get in the water”? ig poseidon just choose that Ody is taking to long and that he became bored of waiting for him, so now he’ll make sure Ody will get in the water, sooo….Ody is pushed underground….and deeper,..and deeper and….)

The underwater instruments, the piano? underwater?…..man You can relax, my friend (he imagines Polites, telling him to relax, to give in, to just…find rest, here and now) I can tell you’re getting nervous (afraid of dying or afraid of living? yeah ALSO POLITES is in our right ear, and eurylochus in our left, in love in paradise it was the other way around, WHY??? WHATS THE MEANING OF THIS) Look at all we’ve lost and all we’ve learned (he lost so much, what rly has he learned? it was worth nothing in the end because he’s still not home and either he chooses to die, or his family will die, eurylochus pulls him down too, as he sinks deeper) I’ll stay in your heart (his mother wraps his warms around him and pulls him down, she’ll stay in his heart, even when she’s dead, he’ll stay in their hearts, even if he doesnt come back…but…) Oh, woah, Odysseus (beautiful vocals, probably a PAIN to record ngl) Waiting, waiting, waiting, ah (theyre waiting for him in the underworld…he takes his last breath….but…he cant give up his family is waiting, the man who he was before gets buried, he drowns)
