Some fun random tidbits!

Yufit's father was a Vulcan inventor, but not a respected one. He's kind of a 'crazy old Maurce' type. Yufit grew up as kind of an outsider and had to fight hard to get the respect he has.

Yufit is creative. That's why he's so odd to other Vulcans. He solidly relies on logic but thinks of random wiggle-room ass solutions that normal Vulcans wouldn't. "The captain is acting irrationally. I will teach her to be better by being an aggressor" is not a Vulcan-inherent concept.

Mel was trained by a Vulcan senior officer.

You know how some people are built to work with cats? Mel is built to work with Vulcans. He's great at it. He does shit like quietly eats while Yufit works and occasionally joins him in meditation. His plain-spoken nature endears him to Vulcans, because he's not all up in illogical slang and he's not one to argue. He understands that Yufit is technologically more intelligent. He relies on Yufit to work that.

Kzinti have legends that weapons owned by dead soldiers are haunted. Mel 100% buys into this, and clipped to his belt is the oldest ray gun you've ever seen. Straight up Jetsons looking shit. It belonged to Mel- the original Mel, his brother in arms but also brother-brother who died in front of him. Mel didn't have a name of his own until others, seeing the name etched into the weapon, started calling him Mel.

Now he seeks to make himself the Most Mel he possibly can. He has burn scars he keeps shaped like the stripes of the original. He carries the weapon. He's literally making himself into Mel to try and honor his memory.

Yufit sees Mel as his best friend. That means he can be a bit jealous when Mel hangs out with or eats with others. He will spend extra time meditating and Mel, who offers his tail as a fidget toy, notices he spends more time playing with it.

Me, with exactly an episode of Voyager under my belt: I should write a Star Trek book

What are lum's hobbies

Do As I Say

Summary: You meet the Swedes for the first time

You had been working at the Commission for several years now, quickly climbing their ranks. As time progressed, you became one of their best field agents. So normally, when you got new recruits in, it was your job to train them along with some other well skilled agents. “y/n, please report to the lobby, y/n please report to the lobby.” someone announced over the comm. “Looks like you get some new trainees today,” your friend Mel says, catching the book you tossed to her. 

“Yup. And let's hope they’re not idiots this time. The last batch I had to train never listened, and now look where they are. Dead as flies. Seeya Mel.” throwing your suit jacket back on you made your way down towards the lobby where you saw Andrew, another co-worker of yours, and three blond men. “Ah, y/n, good to see you as always. Anyways, these are the new recruits we need you to train.” He says. “Why aren’t they in uniform?” You asked, noting that the three brothers wore very...dated looking clothes. “Ah, that is classified. All I can tell you is that you have to train them. Show em how to fight, but in regards to the protocol that we have to follow, they don’t. Why? Couldn’t tell ya.” 

Rolling your eyes you huffed, “I understand the meaning of the word training dummy I’ve trained countless agents here, you included so don’t be getting cocky with me. Anyways, you three, follow me. We’ll get started now.” You say beginning to walk away. “Bite me y/n, just make sure that these three don’t die this time or we’re all in trouble.” Hearing this you stopped dead in your tracks, almost causing the shortest man to bump into your backside. Before the three could react you had grabbed a knife that was in the inside pocket-how you knew that was there bewildered them-and threw it right at Andrew.

“Jesus! Fucking hell you crazy ass! That hurt!” he cries out as you pinned him to a wall, the knife going through his ear. “You’re lucky I wasn’t aiming for your eyes, or better yet your dick you insolent piece of shit! You know just as well as I do that it wasn’t my fault the last recruits died in the field. Now watch your tongue before I cut it out!” Pulling the knife out you wiped the blood on his jacket before returning it to the man you took it from. By now everyone was staring at you, watching to see what would happen next. “Return to your business, you three with me.” You say walking back in your originally intended direction. 

The three men followed silently, following you into a training room. “Right, my name’s y/n. You do exactly as I say, when I say. If you don’t you end up dying. What’s your name?” You asked. They were silent for a moment before speaking, “Oscar”, “Otto”, “Axel”. “Great okay, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask, because there’s nothing I hate more than training people and them not asking questions when they have the chance! Now, before we begin, any questions to start off with?” You asked.

Oscar raised his hand, and with a laugh you called on him. “How did you know about the knife…” You shrug, “Where the knife sat, it created a stiff area of your coat. Besides, what kind of field agent would I be if I didn’t know my opponent had weapons on them? Any more?” Not receiving an answer you clapped your hands. “Right, so do any of you have experience with hand to hand?” both Otto and Axel nodded. “Alright, lets see what you boys got. Axel, you first.” He followed you to the middle of the room where there were mats laid down. “Give me all you got.” You say. Otto and Oscar had to admit, watching you fight Axel was very intriguing. It seems you were both evenly matched, which was a first. Not even Otto could best Axel in hand to hand.

“You’re actually really good,” You say when Axel managed to put you in a choke hold, “But you’re not good enough.” And with that you managed to escape his hold, flipping him over and pinning him to the ground. “At least, not yet,” you whispered in his ear before standing up. “Otto, you’re next.” You called after tapping Axel’s arm signaling he was done. Your height compared to Otto was drastic, and seeing this Otto thought he would have an advantage. However, he was proven wrong when you had him pinned down as well. Axel wouldn’t show or say it, but he was very impressed by you. He found you interesting, and when you whispered in his ear-no. Forget that.

The rest of the day was spent evaluating the current skills the brothers had. They weren’t bad, but they could be better. Wiping the sweat off your brow you sighed as you looked at your watch. “Well, that does it for today. Tomorrow, we’ll meet back here to work on some more skills. See you then.” You say dismissing them. You were packing up some of the training equipment before deciding to speak, “Whatever you have to say spit it out.” 

“What happened to the last recruits?” Axel asked, causing you to sigh. Turning to face the brothers you see that they’re clearly curious. “They were on a job, one of our own went rogue. I told them to not underestimate him, but they didn’t listen. The next day I was called into the morgue, had to identify each and every one of them. They were slaughtered like pigs.” Wiping your hands on your pants you sigh, “Which is why you guys have to do as I say. The last team didn’t. Look where that got them. You can’t screw up, not for yourselves, and definitely not for me or else I’ll kill you myself.” By now you were making your way towards the brothers until you were standing in front of them, so close your chests could touch, “So do as I say, and we’ll be good.” Brushing past them you made your way back to your room.

The triplets watched you disappear down the hall. While they didn’t appreciate you telling them not to screw up for your sake, they understood where you were coming from. They decided later that night, while they laid in bed limbs aching, that maybe you weren’t so bad, and that they actually quite liked you. They looked forward to working with you more in the future.

Forty Five. Part 2

Watching Rorrey make his way over to me “is this your hiding spot for when you have a blunt?” He spat, nodding my head blowing the smoke out from my lips “it is now, I enjoy the views here. The home is so nice. Like when Robyn showed me the pictures I was shocked, she really outdid herself with it. When she told me she is getting her mom a home, I was really proud of her. To see where you all originally lived and how Robyn, Rajad and your mom shared a bed in one room and to see in person how small the house was, to hear but then to see it, it’s two different things. She has done so many great things and I am so proud of her” Rorrey sat across from me “yeah, I didn’t want her to go to America originally, I was dead against it. It’s my little sister and she’s staying in a stranger’s home? Oh no way so I said it to my dad, he said I agree. Agree? I was so angry Chris, I didn’t want her to go, her English wasn’t good, in a new country what if something happened to her. I was scared but my dad didn’t see that part of it, like the girls in America are fine as hell. My sister barely had an ounce of style besides, she has a huge forehead but yet you liked her? You know how hard it was for us to let her go, and then she didn’t get the money my dad was supposed to send. It broke my heart, still kills me to this day” to see Rorrey this angered, I know what happened really hurt him “besides her forehead” I sniggered “such a brother thing to say” shaking my head still laughing “honestly, it was just instant. She was in my class; I saw her and from then on I protected her. People tease and in school they did that, but I shut that down quick. She didn’t at first tell me but then she did, I was then in the basketball team, I had a name for myself. But I always had Robyn there and it was sweet, she was sweet because she seemed so lost and I hated that so when she told, I mean she finally mentioned it to me, she said this guy in my lesson he keeps mimicking what I am saying and laughing, I got angry. I beat his ass for it, then the rumours I was dating her, which didn’t bother me. Robyn just seemed so lost in such a big crowd and I said come to my games, she did every week and my practice. I was single but also taken” I laughed “I was dating Robyn without even knowing it, but I didn’t play. And if I ended up being a basketball player and Robyn became the singer she is now, I would have dated her ages ago. Just things got stopped so quick and we lost contact. It hurt me you know” I grinned “that’s what worried me when she got there but to hear how you speak about her, you fell for her way more then you assumed” he pointed at me.

I laughed at that, just because I kind of did but I didn’t realise it “I was young, confused. I just knew she needed protecting and I was going to be the man to do that for her, I mean I was a boy at the time and I did want to protect her. Just was a little wack because at the time I was going to ask her to the dance and at that time I asked my mom if she would make her a dress, I wanted to know she was going to be able to have that. My mom agreed, I had everything set out and then it hit me, she left pretty much, and I was already feeling myself going downhill just Robyn made me busy in a way. But I adore your sister and I know we argued the way we did, and I know you heard it but didn’t say anything, but it was an argument that didn’t need to happen, but it did. I will be there for her and love her the way her dad couldn’t, I know she wants his love but can’t get it. I was thinking you ain’t said anything” offering Rorrey my blunt “thank you, we all heard it and I was going to but I didn’t because I know that you care. Couples argue and I can’t just jump to it, I had to let it slide but my mom got involved. You know what Chris; I was so happy when you punched Rakim. That nigga mad disrespectful, I heard it a few times where he openly made my sister feel she wasn’t worthy, she wasn’t happy, but I didn’t want to get involved unless it was bad. He was sly and was rude at the same time, I like you a lot and my sister is so happy. She is beaming” nodding my head smiling “yeah she has a lot to smile about, wait till later” I winked “oh it’s like that then” I chuckled.

Looking around the kitchen “where is Robyn?” She isn’t here “she’s in the dining room setting up” Monica said, I guess there is only Robyn’ family and mine, usually it would be bigger so I get she needed the help “thank you” let me check on what she is doing and if she is ok, I don’t want her to faint now “you should get my mon to help you” I said before leaving “guests!!!” She shouted at me; Monica is big on putting a show on for guests, but they are family. I will just leave it, Monica about to beat my ass if I keep on bringing it up. I don’t like Robyn out of my eyesight anymore, I need to know where she is at all times. Walking into the dining room “following me now?” Robyn said smiling at me while she continued to place the cutlery on the table “a little, I need to know my wife is ok. Are you?” I asked, Robyn shrugged “I need a nap but I’m ok” walking towards her “let me set the table” Robyn shook her head laughing “and my mom sees you doing it, no sir. You just step back and let me finish off” side eyeing Robyn “but I can do it quickly, then you can sit down. Shall I bring the boxes down?” Robyn shook her head “not yet, it’s ok. I’m ok, trust me. Don’t worry about me” looking down at Robyn’ stomach “mhmmm, I just don’t want you to go above and beyond; you said it yourself this baby is different clearly” Robyn keeps smiling at me, not sure if she’s laughing or smiling “I get it, don’t worry. I’m just finishing mommy” looking behind me “well hurry up, people are hungry. I’m sure Chris is” stepping back “I’m ok” just watching Robyn continue to get the table set “I want you to start bringing things in after, I can’t believe how late we are eating” I would help but I can’t, Monica is strict, and I didn’t even know that about her like that.

I bought the boxes down and I also bought Robyn’ gift down “ayo, hey. Before we go and eat. Open this” holding out the wrapped box “for me!?” Robyn said all shocked, she wasn’t expecting anything for me “yeah for you, I told you that I bought you a little something. I can’t just come here empty handed, I know you wouldn’t forgive me” Robyn knows damn well I am right that is why she is smirking the way she is taking the box “I can tell you wrapped this, god. You cannot wrap but I am happy you attempted this” she is so giddy now “I can’t believe you bought me something” following behind Robyn, I want to see her reaction “are you both coming?” Monica asked, nodding my head “yeah one moment” here I am trying to balance these boxes “hurry up” Robyn is giggling to herself, she loves gifts. I know my girl, she would say it’s ok but deep down would be sad about “I was thinking on what to get, and also you need to always spoil your woman, forever” Robyn screeched and then yelped out “Dior!” she spat, then opened the box “What!!!?” she screamed “you like it?” I grinned “like it!? Oh my god, it says Rihanna on the bag, no!” she looked at me “how fucking much was this!? Chris, oh my god. I am shocked. I can’t believe this, oh my god!” Robyn grabbed the bag out “a Dior Tote bag for me, you really got Rihanna imprinted on it, how?” I winked at Robyn “I have my ways for you” Robyn is happy, she likes this “I can’t believe you got me this!? I love it, oh my god” she skipped over to me “thank you, thank you, thank you so much” hugging Robyn “I know I have done good with this reaction, once again I did a good job.

Everyone is just giving such weird looks, Monica is not impressed because we are ruining the meal but this is something Robyn set out, she planned this. Even included Mel, TJ and Barry in this somehow “do not touch these boxes” Robyn said and made her way around the table to sit down, I have to walk all the way on the other side, I am sitting across from Robyn which is good so we can look at each other “are we opening this before or after” Rajad asked, shuffling my chair in “before but Robyn will tell you when” I said, she has a baby bodysuit in every box which she has named, in every one the bodysuit will say grandma, uncle or whatever which is a cute touch in a way to tell them, I find it cute but Mel already knows. Robyn told me “Mel doesn’t deserve a box” I had to say it “boo, you’re a hater” Mel said “says the one that won’t admit Barry and you are dating, why you not spending it with your family huh” I raised an eyebrow, Mel put a finger up at me “tell your bitch off Robyn” I looked at Robyn and she just shook her head, that meant I won’t tell you off but stop teasing her so I will stop.

Is Robyn nervous or something, she is not even saying a word about this at all “sorry, yeah so erm I got this present for you all actually, I mean I bought presents, but this present is for everyone, so when you all are ready. Open them” smiling at Robyn lightly, she looked at me. She seems so nervous as everyone started to open these boxes, me on the other hand I am just staring into Robyn’ eyes and she is just looking at me, I don’t know why she is nervous, I know everyone is going to be happy for us “you ok?” I mouthed frowning “tired” she said, nodding my head understand “oh my god, you’re pregnant” Rorrey said lightly, shock in his voice he wasn’t ready for that. Looking over at him holding up uncle “yes” Robyn breathed out, her lower lip quivering “why are you crying?” I said concerned, looking at Monica she is staring down at the bodysuit “oh shit! Pregnant!” TJ shouted, “oh my god!” I laughed at him running around the table “I am so sorry baby, oh my god” Monica got up from her seat, I got from the chair just in time as TJ hugged me “I am so fucking happy for you, yes! You going to be a dad, oh my god. Rihanna, congratulations. Oh my god” patting his back laughing “well Christmas present” I chuckled, moving back. Looking at Robyn to check on her, Monica is hugging “you kept this a secret son, come here” my dad hugged me “my son will be a husband and a father, I can’t believe it. I really can’t, so proud of you. The both of you” nodding my head “your mom crying as always” my dad said, my mom is crying “stop crying, come here” hugging her close “I am so happy for you Chris” she managed to say.

Pressing a kiss to Monica’ cheek “I feel so bad, I thought she was being lazy. Sorry” shaking my head “don’t be silly, you were just being a mother. This is why Robyn has been emotional and tired, but it’s ok. Don’t be upset about it. Robyn understood, but she is feeling so tired” Monica feels so bad “I am so happy for you Chris, but you” she pointed at me “you take care of her, good and proper. Don’t let her work herself too much Chris, she needs rest. It broke my heart her losing the first ne, it’s important Chris, she listens to you. You are taking care of her; I am trusting you” nodding my head “I promise you; I am always watching over Robyn. I promise you; I will take care of her and the grandchild” Monica hugged me again “I trust you Chris, I do. I am so happy for you both, a family” I smiled, watching Robyn walk over to us “I promise, you stopped crying now?” holding my hand out to Robyn, she took my hand “I love you so much” pressing a kiss to her cheek “so yes, there was our surprise from us to you all, this stays between us but keep the bodysuit. You may need it for when you babysit” Robyn chuckled “but I am over the moon, I can’t wait to go on this new journey of wife and motherhood, but this stays between us all please, until I feel I am ready to say it but thank you, this love from you all. Our baby is going to be so loved” Robyn gushed, I just watched Robyn’ face as she said all of that “Chris is already under the whip” Barry said, looking over at him “be quiet” I chuckled, he is dumb.

The conversation is now on the baby, everyone is so over the moon. I mean Robyn and I are over the moon but to see the family so excited about our baby, this just shows me how much my baby is going to be loved. I think everyone has forgotten about the food now “what are you wanting to have? What you feeling?” Mel asked, I have been quiet with that question “erm, I don’t mind. I honestly don’t mind, if it’s a girl, I don’t mind and if it’s a boy, I don’t mind. I just want to settle in a home, just prepare for this. Get Robyn settled, she got to rest” I grinned “no, don’t do that Chris. Be honest, what do you want?” rubbing the side of my face “erm, I said a girl to Robyn. I remember, but I think I want a boy. I want a son, but I don’t mind. They will be loved” Mel gasped “twins?” my eyes widened “huh?” looking at Robyn “we don’t know Chris; I don’t think so. Calm down” she is acting like having one child ain’t stressful “but on a real, I am so happy for you both. I think it’s a blessing that has been waiting for you both, this baby has been waiting for you both. God has blessed you, thank you god always” nodding my head “thank you god” I mumbled, it is a blessing “I just can’t believe my baby boy is going to be a father” my mom gushed “I am not a baby anymore mom” she needs to stop but she won’t “you will always be my baby, you are my youngest so you are my baby” I chuckled, she is embarrassing me “shall we say grace?” Monica said, I was about to say about I am getting so hungry.

Holding onto Monica’ hand and Rorrey’, putting my head down closing my eyes “dear heavenly father” Monica said “today we share this meal with loved ones, loved ones old and new. We give thanks for blessing us, blessing my daughter with a new bundle of joy. I am so overjoyed, I prayed every night that you blessed my daughter, and you did” Monica’ voice broke, and she went silent “our heavenly father we give thanks for our family and friends, amen” Rorrey filled in and wanted it to end, looking up at Monica “I am sorry, I am just overjoyed. I have worried about you so much” Monica sniffled “ma, don’t worry. I will look after Robyn so much, I promise. She won’t be stressed like last time” Monica does worry about Robyn a lot “I am sorry, please eat” Monica said smiling “mom please, everything will be ok. I just need a bed” Robyn laughed “it’s just scary, my baby having a baby” she sighed out “I love you so much Robyn, I do” Monica is so emotional “but please everyone start eating” she gestured.

my brother! he’s way older so he was reading comics and really into the batman movies when i was a kid, and i wanted to be “cool” too (ha) and i fell in love with the universe.

What got you into the batfam specifically?

it’s been so long, i don’t actually know. it could’ve been young justice, or tumblr, or just that it’s been agreed in my family that batman is better than everyone else so i hyperfixated on him and the robins by association.

Who is your favorite batfam member? Why?

dick grayson, easily. short answer: he’s a loveable dumb himbo, and he has a great ass. long answer: he’s so committed to his family and tries his best to be fair and helpful to everyone he possibly can. he’s a character i’ve always admired. in more ways than one obviously.

What’s your favorite romantic ship, if any?

i don’t know if i really have one? jay just turned me onto dickbabs and timsteph (which i’m going hardcore on), so now i’m like so soft for them, but i don’t think there’s a definite favorite.

What’s your favorite dynamic?

jason and tim, easy. i love their begrudging sibling relationship, it reminds me of me with my bro. tim can be a little shit, which i feel, and jason doesn’t know what to do with that. it’s fun.

What is your favorite storyline/run?

young justice. i love the comics, but damn that show knew how to handle the sidekicks for one whole season. but my favorite comic is identity crisis, which makes me cry every time. highly recommend! i read it at least once a year.

Which batfam member do you relate to the most?

steph. tired college student trying to make something of herself, a disaster trying her Best. like me. plus feeling that need to prove herself to everyone that said she couldn’t succeed in everything she does? like yeah, call me out like that dc.

Which batfam member do you think you’d get along/be good friends with?

jason. we could insult dead old white guys who wrote shitty books that received too much praise together. like john milton, that sexist, self-righteous prick. plus we’re both passionate about our values and loved ones, so the conversations we’d have would be lit.

Is there anything you’ve done for the batfam fandom that you’re especially proud of?

other than this bang? which i’m so fucking proud of? i wrote a fic recently revolving around steph that you can find here, i’m pretty proud of it! if you like steph and suffering please give it a read!

Anything you’d like to add?

i’m so so excited for the bang to kick off, we have such a great following already and the ideas for fics and art are endless for this fandom. we’re gonna have a blast!

🌻Mafia Au background lore🌻 pt 2

x Ivan is the true cinderella story with being born into a poor family in��Saratov, Russia. There is 5 years between him and Yekaterina and 7 years between him and Natalya. Their parents loved them dearly and everyday their father told them that he would get them away from being poor and living a better life. their mother used to be a very active hard working woman but after the birth of Ivan she seemed to always be ill. When Nat was born it really made her sick but she refused to lay down and die. She promised to watch her children grow up and get away from poverty. 

x When Ivan was 15 his father died from a untreated brain tumor and it really took a toll on him. His father was his best friend and had taught him that being a man meant more than hard work and discipline but also love and compassion to keep moving forward. At this time Yeka had moved away for university and to work so send money back home. Ivan was now the man of the house between going to school, working, and taking care of his mother and sister. It was when he was 17 that he watched his mother be held at gun point and robbed for everything she had that made him bitter and cold. He met Wang Yao when he was 18 and it was Yao that took him under his wing into the life of the underground.

x Yeka had eventually found love with a man in Canada and a better paying job so she moved to support her family even more with no knowledge her brother was not working under the Chinese mafia. Nat was too young to understand what Ivan was doing. All she knew was that when he came home late their mother was really upset that her son had to work really long hours. Eventually Ivan got a good footing in the underground business and told Yeka she didn’t need to need as much money because he could cover majority of everything. This worried his older sister heavily and on the first flight she could kind she came home to visit and bring her husband, Matthew. 

x Ivan kept the fact he was not in the mafia away from his family for five years until he came home in a brand new car and told Nat and his mother it was time for them to pack up everything they have because they were moving. He still didn’t tell anyone what he was doing until he had his family in a new house and sent Nat off to university for ballet and modeling. He even paid for Yeka to go back to school so she could be a teacher. His mother finally stopped him one morning as asked him what he had done. And he simply told her “I sold what was left of my morality for the security of my family.” 

x As time went on Ivan only got more powerful and fucking wealthy (and making a very dangerous name for himself). Along the way he picked up a lot of strays and alliances (and moved out of his mother’s home and into a big ass mansion to house everyone). Tolys Laurinaitis ( along with Feliks Łukasiewicz )along with was a college student who got on the bad side of a german gang, he was really good at balancing Ivan’s budget and expenses. He also became Ivan’s personal hitman. Eduard von Bock was salesmen who had a hobby of hacking into stuff he hacked Ivan’s phone on accident and started listening in on the conversation. It was Yao that informed Ivan someone was listening and one day during a “normal” business call between Yao and Ivan. Ivan everted the conversation and started speaking directly to Eduard exposing him. Eventually Ivan made a deal with Eduard he would work as Ivan’s inside man in exchange for not killing him. Raivis Galante was a child runaway who got dragged into human trafficking and killed his captives before booking it from his home country to the streets of Moscow. Ivan took pity on the child and took him in. Raivis become Ivan’s other hitman. 

x A few alliances he has made (besides Yao of course) were with Elizabeta Héderváry, a Hungarian-Austrian socialite who was married to the famous composer  Roderich Edelstein who was shot and killed by his jealous and bitter lover Basch Zwingli. Iveta Rivas who is the daughter of a highly respected yet crooked Armenian political figure who Ivan had the honors of saving from a attempted kidnapping while on vacation in Russia. Francis Bonnefoy who is the hire of two French gangs and has a grudge against a former friend of his who is apart of a German gang. The Vargas family (of course!) and also the Jones-Williams family (which Ivan was in shock to find out Yeka married Alfred’s older brother)

x But his enemies “playmates” are stacked as well with rebuilding German gang that was once owned by Gilbert Beilschmidt. Then there is also the new head of the Yakuza Kiku Honda who killed Yao. The Golden Lion in England who is controlled by Author Kirkland who was betrayed by Frances when Frances cut off trade with him and started them with Ivan. 

x Ivan isn’t scared of dying from his new life style, he is only fear is he won’t be able to support his family once he is dead. So he has been stashing away loads of money just incase that day comes. Every day he visits his mother and  kisses her three times out of the day, he hugs his sisters and gives them gifts when they come around when they aren’t busy, and he takes care of those the has taken in by writing up a will for who gets what. 

x When Yao died Ivan was sure he wouldn’t fall in love ever again but years later he mets Mel and she steals his heart. Of course he pretends to be someone he wasn’t (though he really does run off to America every once and a while and pretend to be a humble ice skating teacher) until he was sure she was the one he could share his true self with. 

x Mel did try to call off her and Ivan’s relationships when she found out he was in the mafia but she really liked him and this was her first real relationship after a really bad break up. Ivan told her that if she wanted to walk away there would be no bad blood but he would miss her. Mel chose to stay because she met Ivan when he was a ice skating teacher and that Ivan is the same Ivan who is the head of a large Mafia family.

This was written for @moonbeambucky’s 5k Writing Challenge!! I went with a dragon!soulmate!au, which I hadn’t seen before, but I did have a nifty dream about it that spawned this whole idea. He’s still an Avenger. Events are basically still the same, just with dragons. ‘Cause who wouldn’t love a dragon companion??

Prompt: “You said you would come back for me.” Bolded in text below.

-+- REBLOGGING is fine and very appreciated! -+-

Since men emerged from caves, began using tools and reshaping their environment, they have been intrigued by the draconian terrors of all shapes and sizes that roamed the world. The first records of man and dragon working together are from Mesopotamia, pieces of shattered pottery pieced back together showing a dragon standing beside a woman. Assyrian artifacts depict water dragons helping farmers in the field. Egyptian murals show dragons protecting the Pharaoh and his family, others showing different breeds of dragon fetching books from inside the Library of Alexandria.

History is dotted with famous dragons and their bonded humans; King Arthur and his steel-colored dragon, Excalibur. William Shakespeare and his dragon, Bard. Cleopatra and Bucephalus, named after Alexander the Great’s legendary steed. Abraham Lincoln and his dragon, Crusoe.

Over the centuries, dragons have become smaller from the giants painted in mythology, old texts and wall murals. The biggest dragon these days are about the size of a large crocodile, with the biggest recorded in the last decade almost as big as a hippo. Height varies on the type of dragon - with the tallest one balancing on its tail, hits almost eye level with a giraffe.

Classes have been taught for centuries about dragons and the bond between them with humans. Dragons will sometimes die right after their human counterpart and vice versa. Dragons who have lost their counterpart will sometimes live, seeking out their counterpart’s soulmate to stay with their draconian mates as well. It is not an uncommon thing - especially after times of war - for soulmates to have both dragons if one has died.

Dragon pairs will usually have the same colors and markings, even though they will often not be the same type of dragon. Dragons may look similar to the human eye, but a dragon will know it’s mate no matter what. It has not been determined how the dragons know their mate almost instantaneously, but after millennia humans have begun to follow the dragon counterpart’s knowledge in this area. Marriages of alliance and royalty have often been changed or dropped when one party finds its soulmate. In the same vein, marriages have also been arranged due to this circumstance as well. Cinderella is the most referenced fairy tale of this, with Cinderella having the same sapphire and gold colored dragon as the prince (*Dragon color varies by region and culture).

With the reemergence of Captain America and his dragon, it has helped scientists and theorists who now believe that the dragon and human bond is stronger than initially thought. Steve Rogers, known as Captain America, and his dragon Rak, were frozen for nearly 70 years and both proved to be in perfect health with an unbroken bond after thawing from the ice. Several theorists are pointing to a pieced together story found in Egypt about a man who was thought to be dead during a war, his dragon dying alongside - only for the pair to wander through the desert for nearly two years before arriving in Constantinople. The pair nearly died of dehydration several times but emerged with a stronger bond than before. The man claimed to the writer that it seemed as if after his trouble, he and his dragon experienced more than an emotional bond. It was as if they were linked in their minds and hearts. Whatever the case, it seems as if the bond between human and dragon is strong, it can always be strengthened. The only bond that is stronger - most noted and pointed out - is that of a matched pair with both dragon and human with their mates, protecting each other.

You slide into the restaurant’s plush booth, smiling across the table at your best friend of nearly 13 years as you toss your purse further onto the bench.

“How was work?” You ask as you settle in, your dragon climbing from the inside of your jacket where she’d been resting earlier to drape her long body over your shoulders while your soulmate’s dragon settles his bulk over your feet under the table, his tail curling around your leg.

“Awesome. Matt finally asked me out.”

“Ooh! Congrats! When are you two supposed to go out?”

“Saturday!”

“Nice.” Your conversation pauses as the waitress appears, cheerfully asking for your drink order as a little yellow head pops out of her apron pocket.

“Iced tea and water, please.” You request, fingers coming up to scratch under Cloud’s chin.

“Gin and tonic, please. And water, as well. Thank you.” The waitress bounces off, high ponytail bouncing. Mel leaning a bit forward with a grin. “We could double date.” A deep growl sounds from under the table, making you chuckle.

“Godzilla says no.” Mel frowns at the table before shifting her brown eyes back to you. “He’s a good boy,” You coo before continuing. “He’s just keeping an eye on me until we’re reunited with my soulmate.”

“You gotta stop letting him do that. And you can’t reunite with someone you’ve never met.” Mel mutters as the waitress arrives with your drinks. You both thank her as she withdraws her pen from her apron, causing her little dragon’s yellow head to pop from the black apron pocket again.

“What can I get you ladies?”

“May I get the alfredo with chicken and mushrooms, please?”

“Side salad or soup?”

“Salad. Italian dressing please.”

“Of course! And you?”

“Shrimp carbonara. And a side salad for me as well. Ranch. Thanks.”

“I’ll get that out in a jiff!”

“Semantics. He and I will finally meet. Godzilla will be reunited.” Stroking his lifted head under the table a few times before he settles back into place again.

“Did your time off get approved?” Mel switches the subject before taking a hearty sip of her gin and tonic, both of you thanking the waitress as she sets your salads down before bouncing off again with a big smile. Melanie’s long serpentine jade dragon slithers from her purse, using a little flap of its peacock-colored wings to get it to the tabletop and chirps until Melanie surrenders all her croutons to him. “Bread thief.” She mutters as it chomps happily away.

“Yep!” You mutter cheerfully around a mouthful of greens. “Two freakin’ weeks! Soooo happy and ready for this road trip.”

“Model employee, you are.”

“Thank you for that high praise, Yoda.”

“When I finish this salad, I’ll dig out my proposed itinerary outline for the trip. I’m already so excited! Five days and we’ll be on vacation!” She does a happy little wiggle, Linus mimicking her with his little jade body. You both giggle at his antics.

“Did Tania get off? I text her on Monday and she said it was ‘Pending’ in the system.”

“Yeah, she texted me yesterday morning to say she got it off. But her brother’s wedding is on Saturday. In Dallas. So she’ll fly out late Sunday afternoon so we can all start out from San Fran on Monday.”

“Keep her hydrated Sunday night. Got it.” Your bouncy waitress reappears to whisk the salad plates away, promising the food will be out in just a few minutes. Godzilla’s heavy tail thumps against your leg and the booth, making you grin at your chunky boy. “Is Chinatown on your itinerary?”

“I keep forgetting you’ve never been there before…” She digs her little notebook from her purse and hands it across the table to you. “I’ll add it to the couple of days when we come back.” Cloud nudges at your jaw as you read through the daily logs.

“I like it. Taking our time everywhere. Plenty of adventure and time out for the fluffernuggets.”

“You call them by the weirdest names...” Mel mutters with a big smile as the food arrives, thanking the waitress before you take a long drink of your tea.

“They love them.” You take a couple pieces of chicken and pass it under the table, Godzilla happily chomping as you pass a piece to Cloud. “And jealousy is an ugly thing, Mel.” She passes a piece of shrimp to Linus, his little fingers on his wingtips holding onto the shrimp to tear it two.

“Uh huh. Sure.”

“So, what are you gonna wear on -” An older couple walks by, the woman tutting as she sees Godzilla’s tail under the table. You can see her counting and mentally steel yourself.

“Three.” She mutters loudly to her husband, who gives a solemn nod and steers her away. You feel a hand on top of yours, a gentle squeeze making you turn your attention back to your food.

“She’s just an old hag who doesn’t know anything.” You nod.

“She just really brought down my happy mood.”

“Then we’ll a couple drinks and go to that bookstore you like.”

“You always know the right thing to say to me.” She snorts, making you grin at your oldest friend.

“I should fucking hope so by now, honey.”

Bucky and Sam sit on the patio closest to the hanger, playing poker when Steve comes around the corner, tapping on his phone.

“How’s it going today guys? Missed our morning run.” He leans against the wall, crossing his arms over his chest with a smirk.

“We stayed up drinking loooong after you left last night.” Sam chuckles out, throwing a card down and picking up another.

“Alcohol doesn’t affect Bucky.”

“I slept in and didn’t drag my ass out of bed that early in solidarity.” Steve snorts but nods.

“Yeah. Okay, pal. Keep lyin’ to yourself.”

“I can and I will,” Bucky replies, using his vibranium hand to scratch the scruff on his jaw with a lazy grin plastered on his face.

“Hey, guys! Uh, I mean Mr. Rogers, sir. And Mr. Barnes. And, um, Mr. Wilson.”

“You don’t have to -” Steve starts, shaking his head at Peter’s formality.

“Nah, I think I like being addressed as Mr. Barnes.”

“Just stick to first names, kid.” Sam orders, tossing down another card and making a face at Bucky.

“Right. I can do that. Mr. Stark asked me to come and get you,” Steve pushes off the wall. “Mr. Barnes. Uh, Bucky, sir.”

“Okay.” Bucky grins before laying his cards on the table. “I win. You’re cookin’ me breakfast for the rest of the week.”

“Damnit.” Sam curses as he tosses his cards onto the table.

“See you all in a bit. Lead the way, kid.” Peter leads Bucky down to the lab he built for Bruce, the two farthest walls projecting documents and a few pictures of the West Coast of the United States. Bucky carefully scans the walls as Peter eagerly announces Bucky’s arrival.

“Ah, Barnes. Just the man I sent the kid for.” Tony comes around a table and points to the documents on the left wall. “What do you see?”

“Intel on a Hydra base by the Washington/Canada border. You think it’s active?”

“I wouldn’t have. Except for this morning, the power kicked on there.” Bruce comes into the room behind Bucky, pointing to the map as Tony zooms in on the border.

“We only know this because Fury cleared that particular base after he became director. He set up sensors to alert S.H.I.E.L.D. to any unwanted visitors.”

“And I hijacked all their sensors, systems and alerts,” Tony add smugly, crossing his arms over his chest.

“So you want me to go scout it?”

“No, I’ve sent a suit to go do some recon. I want to know everything you know about this base… Anything they might’ve had there. Any reasons you can think of to why they’d attempt a reactivation there.” Bucky gives a little sigh before he walks up to the wall, flipping through each piece of intelligence information, racking his mind for any and all information he possessed on that base.

“Smuggling arms from Russia would be my best first guess...my second would be the terrible answer of human trafficking.” He then begins to explain the ins and out of the base, what he remembers being at the base and some of the areas they used for experimentation there.

“Jeez.” Bruce exhales loudly before rubbing a hand over his face, his dragon lifting its head from the chair in the corner, looking quizzically from Bruce to Bucky. Tony taps his fingers on the tabletop across from Bruce, thinking.

“Okay. We’ll wait for the suit to report back before alerting the rest of the team.” Bucky nods, casting an envious glance towards Bruce’s now sleeping dragon. The quick look makes Tony’s stance soften a little, something unnoticed by Bucky as he turns to leave. “Wait.” Bucky turns himself back around. “I’ve been scanning for a dragon that matches your descriptions and archival photos.” Tony has a ghost of a smile dancing in his eyes as he drops this bomb on him.

“That’s why you don’t have a dragon?” Peter pipes up from the other side of Bruce.

“Mine didn’t go into the ice with me like Steve’s. He probably ran away from the base when I fell from the train...I don’t think Howl has survived to now.”

“And you couldn’t have survived a fall from a train. Steve couldn’t have survived the ice-cold grip of the Arctic.” He leans his butt against the table he’d just been tapping on, arms crossed over his chest with a smile. “Yet here we are, Barnes.”

Bucky clenches and unclenches his jaw, fear curling in his gut at the question he’s about to ask.

“Did you find anything?”

“Got two hits so far.” Bucky’s heart stutters in his chest. “One in Scotland, the other in California.” Tony gives a sly smile as Bucky gives a firm nod, turning to leave with his human hand clenched tight.

“Hydra first.” He manages to grit out before opening the door, ready to escape to the woods just outside the base to get his thoughts straightened out.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

“Portland here we come!” Tania yells as you start the rental car, making you laugh as you pull onto the road, heading to the freeway entrance.

“I can’t believe it’s been two months since all three of us have been together!” You say excitedly as you merge onto the freeway - officially starting your road trip to Portland.

“Two months too long!” Mel yells from the second row.

“So, Tania, you gotta fill us in on your brother’s wedding!”

“Ugh. Ultra small. They just had her immediate family and our immediate family plus, like, his two idiot best friends and her best friend.” She pauses, shoving a handful of thick black curls away from her lovely face. “Beautiful though.” She sighs out with a small smile on her face. “Almost exactly the colors I’d like to do for my wedding one day; light blue and black, with silver accents. Dinner was delicious! Whew! Glad I wasn’t interested in getting laid, cause all that food was too good to pass up.” Mel nearly snorts behind you as Tania continues. “A nice long dinner, some light dancing and a few rounds of shots between siblings and friends. Then I got to tuck myself into a plush hotel room, watch ‘The Wedding Date’ and nod off to sleep.”

“I think that’s the least stressful wedding you’ve ever told us about.” You remark with a quick look at Tania.

“That’s cause this is my oldest brother. Typical big bro. Looking out for everyone else. Dated Katherine for like 3 years before he popped the question. He thinks everything through. Unlike my younger brothers. Those two are idiots.”

“Hot idiots.” Mel pipes up from the back as you and Tania make faces.

“Nope. Nope. Nope.” Tania says seriously before half turning in her seat. “So, how did your date with Matt go?”

“All he wanted to talk about was work and who I thought was going to get the new promotion...How he was waiting for his soulmate after three bad relationships. Total bust.”

“I’m sorry, sweetie. Need me to find a coffee shop before we officially head out of town?”

“Nah, she ordered a dessert to go at her busted dinner and I’ve bought her like four cups of coffee since yesterday.” You interject, watching Mel’s face break out in a big smile in the rearview mirror. Tania’s dragon slips from the folded down third row up to the front, crawling into her lap and sticking its head out the window, the soft black hair on its head and back twisting and turning in the breeze.

“Our first stop?” Tania asks Mel, stroking a hand over Falkor’s black wispy hair.

“Wherever you want it to be.” Mel grins out, brown eyes meeting yours in the rearview.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

It was about two hours down the line before Linus began chirping and growling, so you pulled over at a roadside area and let all the dragons out to go the bathroom and explore. You stake out a nice shaded bench to watch the four dragons play with a pair of Golden Retrievers. Dragons tended to love cats and dogs, and this was also a good chance for them to get out some of that pent up energy.

Tania demands a few selfies set against the coastline views and you suggest one with the dragons rolling around with the dogs, making you all laugh. After nearly fifteen minutes, you wander over to the middle-aged couple with the dogs, introducing yourself and thanking them for letting their dogs wear out your dragons. A few pleasantries and a loud goodbye, followed by some pets for Thelma and Louise, you herd the dragons up the hill to the bench for some water and a few snacks.

“That was a workout for everyone.” Mel chuckles, patting your back as you all head back to the SUV.

“Laugh it up. Next time wrangling is up to you, Melanie.” She just laughs as you climb back into the driver seat.

“Next stop, Fort Bragg.” Mel pipes up, holding her cell phone up for Tania to see.

Luckily, it only takes another two hours to get to Fort Bragg and the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, where Mel had mapped out your first official stop on the road trip.

After admission and grabbing some lunch at Rhody’s Garden Cafe, getting a bowl of clam chowder in a bread bowl and two lamb gyros for Godzilla and Cloud. You give Godzilla a whole one and carefully cut the other into thirds. You give a third to Cloud, putting a travel dish of water between the two before digging into your lunch. Tania joins you next, Falkor perched on her shoulder and eyeballing the two smoked tempeh gyros on her tray with glee. Mel is the last to join with a bowl of tomato basil bisque, a side salad and a lamb gyro for Linus. You discuss the flora and fauna already surrounding you, the faint scent of the ocean blowing through a few times while you all enjoyed lunch.

Forty-five minutes later you’re looking out over the Pacific Ocean, eyes closed at the serenity of it all; Godzilla pressed against your left leg while Cloud is curled around your neck. You knew your soulmate couldn’t feel the contentedness you felt, but you hoped he could.

That was the same thought you had as you laid curled up in the king-sized bed later that night with Mel hogging the covers on the other side.

I hope wherever you are, you’re safe and know that we miss you and want to meet you, soulmate.

“Suit came back negative.” Tony points to the screen running the video in the Debriefing Room. “No human traces. Followed the electrical lines back to the main breakers and … nada.”

“Nothing at all? Then who turned the power back on?”

“Still don’t know. There were no fingerprints on the breaker boxes or on the doors to and from that area. The only sign anyone had been there at all was in the semi-buried loading dock to the west of the actual facility’s blueprints.”

“So what’s the plan?” Wanda asks, looking from the footage to Tony.

“I think we should all go there. Clean out whatever S.H.I.E.L.D didn’t and then inspect that buried loading dock.”

“All of us?” Rhodey repeats, leaning back in his seat, trying to ignore Peter’s too excited looking eyes.

“Well, most of us. Leave the broken ribs twins here and Banner, of course. Vision and Rhodey will cover the outside, Steve and Wanda will go to the secret loading dock while Bucky and Sam locate wherever the loading dock’s exit should have been. I’ll recheck the systems, download all the information - if S.H.I.E.L.D left any on the servers - and I’ll call in Rhodey to do the heavy lifting, if need be, of machinery or files we locate.”

“When do we leave?”

“First thing in the morning. Better light for the Tin Man and Birdboy to search in.”

“So considerate,” Sam mutters loudly, rolling his eyes as he looks at Steve.

“Rest up team.” Steve dismisses everyone, Bucky still sitting in his chair, staring at the screen without really seeing it. Steve’s brow furrows, leaning forward in his own chair. “You okay, Buck?”

“Tony tell you he thinks he might’ve found my dragon?” Steve’s jaw drops open. “Guess not.” His entire face changes, his blue eyes lighting up and a smile growing.

“That’s great!” When Bucky doesn’t react except a nod, Steve’s dragon flits from his perch on the back of his chair to land before Bucky, letting a high pitched squeal out until Bucky offers him his hand. The ruby-colored wyvern scampers up his arm until it is able to nuzzle under his jaw.

“Thanks, Rak.”

“Don’t get too excited, Buck.” Steve snarks out, pursing his lips before leaning back in his chair.

“It’s just a lot to deal with. I thought he was dead...I thought I would just be alone, ya know?”

“You don’t gotta be alone now though. You’ll get Howl back.”

“Tony said a woman had him.”

“Your soulmate.” Steve’s breath out so reverently it sent shivers down Bucky’s back. Bucky rubs a hand tiredly over his face.

“I guess.”

“But you hope not.” He clenches his jaw before shaking his head at his best friend. “Jesus, Bucky.”

“I know, Steve. You act like I don’t fucking know.” Rak tugs sharply at a piece of Bucky’s hair at the tense air between the two men, hissing loudly when he drops his hair. Bucky turns to glare at the dragon. “Listen here, pipsqueak, I don’t need it from you too.” Rak blows a little puff of smoke at Bucky before launching off his shoulder to flit out of the room. “Stevie...it’s just a lot. All of a sudden. I mean, damn, there is no easing into it either. Tony just fucking laid it on me this afternoon and -”

“It’s all you can think of now. I get it - trust me Buck - but I wish I was in your shoes.”

“Still different shoes, Steve.”

“Shuri worked with you. You got a good therapist now. Don’t have as many nightmares or sleepless nights...I don’t see why you think you wouldn’t or don’t deserve a soulmate. You’re one of the best people I know, Bucky. Then and now.”

Bucky just sighs again, dropping his head into his hands and tugging on the long strands with frustration.

“It’s not that I’m not excited.” He begins softly. “It’s just that the cons right now outweigh the pros.”

“How exactly?”

“I am a formerly wanted Hydra assassin.”

“They cleared you of all charges against the Vienna bombing. They cleared you for helping me and the guys against Tony. But go on, drama queen.” Bucky raises his head and rolls his eyes at Steve.

“And it’s go off, Steve. I’m over a hundred fucking years old.”

“So am I. We look like we are in our thirties. Maybe she likes older men.” Bucky scoffs at his best friend’s smile.

“I haven’t seen Howl in seventy plus years.”

“Rak and I were in the ice for nearly that long. The bond doesn’t lessen by circumstances or distance. You two are a pair.”

“Alright, we both know someone else came up with that.”

“Coulson,” Steve admits with a rueful smile. “Words are still true.” Bucky rubs his hand over his face again with a sigh.

“Yeah. Yeah. Well, I guess we’ll find out after this mission.”

“I guess we will, pal. And apologize to Rak. He didn’t do anything to you, you bully.” Bucky and Steve both push themselves up from their chairs, making their way from the room.

“I’ll give him some pepperjack. You know he loves his cheese.”

“No more cheese! You aren’t the one who has to sleep with the little gas ball.”

“RAK!! CHEESE!” Bucky yells as he takes off for the kitchen, the little ruby dragon running to catch up at top speed behind the supersoldier as Steve shakes his head.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

You were all up just before sunrise, walking down the abandoned Glass Beach. Tania had been up the night before, googling things to do in Trinidad when she’d stumbled upon an article about the sea glass remains in Fort Bragg. And honestly? What’s better than an empty beach in the morning with your best friends and your dragons happily bringing you seashells, pieces of driftwood and harassing seagulls? Not much.

After an hour or so on the beach, you all make the quick trek back towards town for a large breakfast, where Godzilla swallowed a whole plate of eggs and sausage before looking up at you with big sapphire eyes. You’d given in - you nearly always do - and given him a piece of your toast and Mel had given him one of her pancakes.

“Chunker.” You mutter around a sausage link, giving the other half to Cloud as Godzilla amps up the begging eyes. You don’t give in this time. But Tania does - giving him the last bit of her omelet.

Forty-five minutes later, you’re all headed towards Trinidad. It’s an almost three-hour drive, beautiful and hugged quite close to the coastline. The windows are down and the music is up, with the sea air swirling around the cab.

You arrive, everyone tying on their tennis shoes to trek out to look at the enormous redwood trees that California is known for. You snap a few pictures as Godzilla attempts to follow Cloud and Linus up a Redwood, but his little glider wings aren’t as helpful as they should be. He turns those big blue eyes up at you, with Falkor perched on his back, both looking so sad.

“Oh, Lord.” You mutter as you bend over, “Okay, you gotta help.” His head bobs eagerly before you heft Zilla up, letting his claws lightly dig into the tree to help claw Falkor and himself up. Once he gets above your head, he manages another twenty feet or so before launching off the tree and gliding back down to the forest floor. His little teeth are barely seen in what you have come to learn is his smug smile. “Yes, you did amazing. Glad to be of help.”

You refuse to help him up a bigger tree, so he begins climbing every fallen one you all come across until Mel taps out about a half hour later. You all get back to the SUV, then find a place for lunch before continuing on into Oregon. A quick stop at the state line for a photo op and letting the dragons wander around for about fifteen minutes, Tania gives a sharp whistle to round them up so you can continue on your way.

You get just past Selma when a huge rainstorm blows in. It takes an hour and a half extra to get to the next town of Wilderville. Then have to go another 9 miles to get to the nearest hotel. Mel ran out to get some late lunch/early dinner since the rain wasn’t letting up at all.

An old Godzilla movie is on, Zilla swinging his tail excitedly when he hears Godzilla’s roar through the tv, imitating him happily in his deeper tones.

“That’s why you call him that?” You shrug at Tania’s question, chuckling at all the dragons watch Godzilla battle King Ghidorah enraptured.

“My mom just always called him that. She said cause they both got cankles.”

“They do!” She squeals, withdrawing her pajamas from her luggage. A drenched Mel struggles in a handful of minutes later. She stopped at the little grocery store, getting a small pack of tea bags, some honey, and a little tray of sausages and cold cuts for the scalies. Fried chicken and some salad for you three as you look up how long the storm should last and if there are any road delays ahead.

“So, after tonight do we go to Cannon Beach or Astoria? We all know which I prefer.”

“Yeah, Y/N we know you’d rather go to Astoria.”

“HEY, YOU GUYS!” You shout happily in reply.

“Well, I think Astoria would be good too. There are trails - providing it’s not too wet after this storm - plus museums, cute little shops downtown, antique stores, Lewis and Clark National Historic Park and a waterfall. That’s not including the Goonie house, which we’ll go see for Y/N.”

“Okay, so if it’s mostly clear by like, I don’t know, 5 am then I say we head out for Astoria then. My only thing is that we are kind of off the path Mel first planned. Do we head to Bandon then up to Astoria? Cause it says,” You withdraw your copy of her itinerary. “That it’s about 5 hours from Bandon to Astoria. And right now, it’s almost 3 hours to get back on Highway 1. We could do 8 hours, provided we stop enough to stretch our legs and let out the fluffernuggets.”

“I say we do the 3 hours to get us back to Bandon. Then the next day we’ll head to Astoria. When we are done in Astoria, we’ll head to Portland to grab a hotel for the night and explore it the next day. We aren’t in a rush.”

“That’s right,” As you nod in agreement with Tania, Mel continues. “This is only day two.”

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

“Found anything?” Sam’s voice comes in through his earpiece, giving a little grunt as he shoved a part of a fallen tree out of his way.

“Looks like the exit. Covered in moss, leaves and a few fallen tree trunks that must have rolled partially down here. I’m about a click away from where we started.”

“Finally! Two damn days of looking...all this green blurring together. I’ll be there in a few seconds to help.” Bucky tears at the moss and vines around another trunk as he grunts out an “Okay” over the comm before Steve’s voice replaces Sam’s.

“Rhodey, Tony, Wanda and Vision are inside now, so I’m coming out to help you and Sam.”

“Gotcha,” Bucky replies, straightening up with a groan. “I got two trunks out of the way, but the last one is massive...I think the wall is behind it, and we should be able to follow the wall to the collapsed exit.”

“Roger that, Tin Man,” Tony confirms. “The last of the debris is nearly clear on this side. Wanda waved most of it away after we did the heavy lifting.”

“Right. Yes, that was exactly what happened...” Wanda’s voice is heavy on the sarcasm, making Bucky grin.

It’s nearly an hour later that Bucky and Steve manage to dislodge the trunk enough to comfortably get behind it to search the moss-riddled wall. Sam has Redwing searching along what they think is the wall, while Rak and Blackbird - Sam’s onyx little dragon - scramble along the base of the wall.

“Anything yet, Stark?” Bucky settles himself on the large log, fingers sliding into his damp locks and tying them back while they wait for Tony’s reply.

“Well, I haven’t found a secret door yet…”

“What Tony means is: yes Steve - we’ve found a mangled wall panel. Looks like it was smashed.” Bucky snorts at Wanda’s continued sass.

“I am working to fix the panel. Tony has gone back to divert the power to this end of the base.” Vision’s voice fills the comms just before they all hear a loud crack.

A rumble from the stone looking metal door shakes the ground around them as it attempts to roll itself up. By the time Tony makes it back to the dock, the door has managed to heft itself halfway up. Bucky eyes the door warily. He’s seen Indiana Jones...

“I hope we didn’t just do all the hard work for the bad guys,” Sam mutters as Rhodey, Vision, Wanda and Tony all join them carefully on the forest side of the door.

“We should blow it up,” Bucky remarks, Rak crawling up his pants and tact vest to settle on his shoulder. “That way we’re sure. The base is empty - all that’s left in there is old medical equipment I wouldn’t let anyone use, some desks and some chairs. We blow it up and then we just set up surveillance around the base and around Portland.”

Rhodey huffs out a breath in tandem with his dark emerald dragon, looking from Tony to Steve.

“I agree with Bucky, man. We get rid of the base then we get rid of the lure of any fractured HYDRA factions. Then we head to Portland for some delicious food at Proud Mary Cafe.”

Tony gestures at Rhodey, “Is that the place with the crab omelet?”

“Yep.” Bucky’s mouth waters a little at the mention of an omelet, only have a couple power bars since they’d started this morning. Portland sounds delicious at this point.

“Damn, that was almost decadent. Okay, I’m sold on Portland.” Steve rolls his eyes, making Tony smirk as his crimson and amber dragon clamors up his armor.

“We have gotten all files that were left behind. As well as documenting the whole base. We have no need for it if we are not going to occupy it.” Vision redirects the conversation back to the base. “And surveillance along the way, from here to Portland, would be excellent to execute for further knowledge on any HYDRA or other evil entities in the area. As Bucky and Rhodey have stated.” Bucky nods as he pulls a little leftover piece of jerky from his vest to give to Rak, who lets out a happy trill before Wanda reaches over to scratch the top of his head.

“Alright - you heard the Tin Men! Let’s blow her up.” He gestures back towards the half-open door. “Rhodey?”

“Tones, man, I’m gonna buy you a whole tableful of those omelets.”

“I’m gonna hold you to that.”

“Jesus. Are we like that?” Bucky mutters to Steve, smiling as Rhodey selects his weapon.

“Worse,” Sam mutters from Bucky’s left, making Steve and himself chuckle before they all head back up the hill in an effort to avoid most of the dust and debris.

“Jealousy is an ugly thing, Sam!” Bucky calls out as Sam and Wanda rise into the air, both of them sporting big grins before Rhodey launches into his destruction of the base.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

“I’ve never had such pretty looking pizza!” Tania exclaims as it’s laid on the table, Godzilla’s tail thumping excitedly against your leg under the booth.

“Edible flowers and mushrooms? Ick.” Mel makes a face before picking up a piece of her fennel sausage pizza before picking up her fork and spearing a piece of the pansotti pasta to give to Linus.

“Well, we can have breakfast wherever you want.” You placate before handing a slice under the table before picking up a piece for yourself. You only got two bites in before Cloud drags it from your hand to devour it by your wine glass. “Apparently I am too slow for you, scaly.” Taking a healthy sip of your wine, you look across the table at Tania. “I saw a flag when we were walking earlier for the Portland Japanese Garden. We should check that out. The dragons like it when they can roam. Looks serene too.”

“As long as I don’t gotta hike, I’m golden with whatever,” Melanie mutters around another piece before handing one under the table for Zilla.

“If we do the Lan Su Chinese Garden, it has a teahouse!”

“Ooh, that sounds nifty Tania!”

“There’s also Powell’s City of Books. An entire city block worth of books.” Mel smiles over the rim of her glass at you. “And a hell of a coffee shop inside too.” Tania laughs, jiggling Falkor who is balanced on her shoulder, nibbling at her slice of pizza.

“If Y/N went in there, she might not come back out!”

“You say that like that’s a bad thing!” You defend, taking the last slice of your shared pizza with a playful glare at Tania.

“Think of all the money you’d spend.” Mel joins in.

“But then I’d have books…” You mutter around your mouthful.

“Your tiny little apartment can’t handle any more books.”

“That’s true,” You concede with a little sigh. “But that doesn’t mean if we have spare time, we can’t go and look!”

“Knew that was coming! Knew it!” Mel cackles, Linus giving her a judgemental look from his perch on the pasta plate as her hand slapped a few times on the table beside him.

“Well, I should fucking hope so by now.” You add smugly, taking a sip of your wine as Tania pulls out her phone.

“Okay. So what place do you want to do for breakfast, Mel?”

“I set up a reservation for breakfast for tomorrow at Proud Mary Cafe. One of the guys at my work, Tomas, says it’s the most delicious place to eat. So I set it up the day we left San Francisco since he mentioned it usually has a waitlist.”

“Holy crap,” Tania says softly as she peers down at her phone. “This food sounds decadent!”

“Read us a bit.” You request as you settle a little more comfortably into your seat.

“Savory french toast: Buttery portabella mushroom, smoked ricotta, chipotle charred greens, paprika crumb, croissant brioche, poached egg.”

“Whew. That sounds amazing!”

“Crab omelet: Singapore chili crab omelet, spicy noodles, bean sprout, and Asian herb salad, crispy onions.” She continues, licking her lips. “God I love crab.” With a shake of your head she looks up, “This is one I know you’ll want. Dutch honey hotcake: Vanilla and ricotta hotcake, mandarin segments, caramel, baked cheesecake, dutch cookie, honeycomb.”

“That’s a fancy pancake right there,” You say, handing Cloud the last piece of pansotti before reaching across to Melanie’s last slice, tearing it into thirds for Linus, Falkor, and Godzilla.

“Maybe pavlova? It’s a classic Australian pavlova with matcha, baked rhubarb, rhubarb syrup, and, ooooh, a custard cream. Damn. We should just order one of everything. It all sounds wonderful.”

“I wouldn’t say no to that!” Mel giggles out as the waitress comes over to ask about any ice cream desserts. “No thanks, we probably need to walk off what we just ate!”

“So,” Tania begins as the waitress goes to get the check. “We gonna walk for a bit then grab an ice cream cone while we’re out?”

“I wouldn’t say no to that!” You chuckle at Mel’s words, sliding the waitress your debit card when she returns.

“Or coffee.” You add.

“Or coffee. Man, I love me some coffee.” Mel replies with a grin, all of you standing after you sign the receipt, leaving a hefty tip for the waitress who had added some sausage on the side of the pasta for the scalies. “Let’s go find a coffee and ice cream place...then a park for the dragons.”

“Sounds like a plan to me.” Tania agrees, tucking Falkor into her oversized handbag as they exit the eatery, all of them taking a deep breath and headed down the street.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

When they checked into The Benson last night, Bucky was exhausted. Exhausted but hungry. The food nearby was outstanding, though both Rhodey and Tony both kept saying it wouldn’t be as amazing as breakfast. Sam had rolled his eyes, remarking that everything tastes “amazing” to Steve and Bucky who had grown up with boiled cabbage and then hadn’t eaten for nearly seventy something years.

“One thing they don’t need to be - food critics,” Sam had finished as they’d stepped out into the evening air.

“I had plenty of good food back in the day when I was in Italy and France, thank you very much Mr. Won’t Pass Up A Big Mac.” Bucky sasses back, shoving his metal hand into his pocket. He takes about four steps when he felt a tingle up his spine. His head moves subtly from left to right, scanning the people around.

“Buck?” Steve’s voice is soft, straightening up when he sees Bucky’s posture change. All of them are on alert now, but none sure what they’re looking for.

“Just had a feelin’...”

“Like a ‘we’re about to get sniped’ feeling or more like ‘deja vu’ feeling?” Rhodey queries as he watches a group of men cross the street.

“Like something important is gonna happen feelin’.”

“I think he means an innocent feeling or an about to be ambushed one, Sgt. Barnes.” Vision adds, his eyes moving from the building behind them to Bucky. Bucky sees a flash on white, low to the ground up the street a little, but it’s lost in the foot traffic soon after he spots it.

“Nothing malicious. Just an odd, but nice feelin’.”

“Next time, lead with that.” Tony claps him on the shoulder before moving in the opposite direction, talking about a steakhouse with the most flavorful clam chowder he’s ever had. Wanda pats his arm before trailing after Tony and Vision, a small smile gracing her face.

When they’re seated and drinks have been ordered, Bucky still can’t shake the feeling. The light conversation is interrupted by Tony’s phone.

“Uh huh. Yep. Oh really? Did you activate the satellite feed? Uh huh. Bout an hour or so, I would venture to guess. Okay. Yep. Let me know. Thanks, Bruce.”

Steve raises an eyebrow at Tony, who is eyeing Bucky with interest.

“Did you tell them?”

“I told Steve.”

“Well then, I’ll catch everyone else up.” Bucky manages a nod just before Tony begins. “After getting first-hand descriptions, photos, plus information from both HYDRA and SHIELD - I began looking for Bucky’s dragon. I started from the base where Howl disappeared then branched out from there. And then one day it hit me -”

“Here we go…” Sam chuckles out, bracing his elbows on the table as a waiter appears with their drinks.

“Where would a dragon who has seemingly lost its human partner go?” Tony pauses dramatically, taking a healthy sip of his whiskey. “To find it’s soulmate.”

“So you’re saying you found not only his dragon but his soulmate?” Rhodey takes a good swig of his beer. “Damn.”

“I’ve narrowed it down to two women, just from satellite footage, you understand. One in Scotland, one in California. I asked Bruce to keep an eye on them while we were gone. Apparently, our California candidate has disappeared. Nowhere in the state.”

“You think something happened to her?” Wanda questions, looking from Tony to Bucky, who has his jaw clenched harder than is probably healthy.

“Nothing bad.” He takes another drink. “I don’t think. Bruce is readjusting the feed to get her last location and that should take about an hour. So, by the time we finish our dinner, we’ll have an answer.”

“Excellent.” Vision smiles encouragingly at Bucky, who gives a tight-lipped smile back as a mouthwatering steak is set before him. Suddenly his hunger isn’t as all-consuming as it was before...

God, Doll, I hope you’re safe wherever you may be...I don’t know if I can take it if you aren’t…

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

There are quite a few people lingering outside the establishment and a few shopfronts down, settled on benches and scrolling through phones while they wait. It’s cooler than you had expected, the storm you’d encountered earlier in the week still lingering. In a few days it’ll be warmer, something the dragons will appreciate but you will not.

Proud Mary Cafe opens at 7am, but the dragons and Mel had other ideas, and you’d all gotten up right before 6. Mel and Tania had showered the night before, so you hopped in only to be interrupted by Godzilla howling for you through the door. You had to hop out to crack the door open so he could reach you, resulting in the hot water to peter out to lukewarm water in those two minutes. Tania had insisted on doing your hair, like she had many a time in college, letting you slap on some sunblock and then minimal makeup while she twisted and coerced your hair how she wanted. Herding the dragons downstairs and over to the park for some pre-breakfast walkies had woken you up better than the two cups of coffee Mel had already downed.

You’re about to enter the cafe when Godzilla shoots off down the street, you and Cloud both calling out after him. You shove your purse at Tania before tearing off after him, silently cursing his damn monitor-like body as his short but powerful legs carry him away. When you see him, he’s at the end of the block sitting on some poor man’s chest.

“I’m so, So, SO sorry!! He never does this!!” You wrap your hands around his thick black collar, attempting to tug the two hundred plus pound dragon off the man. “Bad Zilla!! Bad!! Off the nice man!!”

“Zilla? As in Godzilla?” You huff, still tugging, finally looking at the man standing beside you. Holy shit it’s Iron Man.

“Off.” The man grunts from under Godzilla, who happily obliges, his thick marble-looking tail wiggling so hard his entire body is moving along with it.

“Holy shit. You tackled an Avenger. Apologize!” You hiss at your wayward dragon, Captain Rogers helping the man up. And holy shit are you glad you said that while you could because of the specimen before you is drop dead gorgeous. Dark hair that’s hanging just past his shoulders with the most intense blue eyes you think you’ve ever encountered. He’s a good head taller than you with just enough scruff covering his cheeks to look almost sinful with his pink lips. Cloud’s sharp nails dig into your shoulder, kicking your mind back towards the fact that Godzilla just tackled the unsuspecting Avenger. “I’m very sorry, Sergeant Barnes. Godzilla has never done that before. He’s been acting off since last night. Must be all the time in the car for the last few days. I really am very sorry.”

“Told you it was a vacation - you owe me fifty bucks.”

“Shut up Tony.” Captain Rogers glares at the billionaire before smiling at you. You turn your attention back to Mr. Barnes.

“No need to apologize. I’m sure he just sensed me last night - like I sensed him.” The dots all suddenly align in your head, releasing your fingers from Godzilla’s collar.

“Oh.” You breathe out, tears coming to your eyes as you look down. “Why didn’t you say something?” He huffs, his tail wiggling dying down before snorting angrily at the super soldier’s boots.

“It’s gonna be that way, Howlite, pal?” Sgt Barnes kneels before the dragon, holding out his flesh hand.

“You said you would come back for me.” You say, causing those intense blue eyes to find yours, while you give him a small sad smile before letting your gaze drop to Zilla - Howlite. He swallows hard then nods, smiling at his dragon.

“I did promise you I’d be right back, didn’t I buddy?” Godzilla eased a little closer, Cloud switching shoulders so she can be closer to her mate, glaring at the former Winter Soldier. “And I meant to...I didn’t mean to...for things to happen like they did. But I’m glad you left. I don’t want you to see me that way, ever. And I don’t want to think about what they’d have done if they found you. You were the best, Howl. You did right and ran. I’m sorry you went seventy years without a home,” He swallows again, blue eyes shining with tears that are being fought back.

Godzilla - Howl, you mentally correct yourself again - moves closer to you, nudging your leg with his muzzle before stepping forward to rub his scaled face into James’s outstretched hand.

“Don’t worry, Sergeant Barnes. He wasn’t alone that long.” Howl is trying to shove his entire hefty body into his owner’s kneeling form, the super soldier’s smile is bright as he welcomes him, trying to wrap himself around the dragon in turn.

“Thank you.” He says gently, but with a light shining in his sapphire eyes. “Okay. Okay. I gotta introduce myself.” Howl happily disengages, his tail thumping happily against the pavement as James straightens up. His hand stretches out towards you, an unsure smile tugging on his plush lips. “James Barnes. Bucky...Bucky Barnes, actually.”

“I’m Y/N Y/L/N.” You take his hand and both of you inhale sharply at the sensation of your skin touching for the first time. He hasn’t released your hand - not that you’re complaining - so you use your free hand to push a piece of hair out of your eyes. “We were about to have breakfast.”

“What a coincidence! So were we! Proud Mary Cafe?” Tony pipes up, sporting a huge grin.

“Um, yeah, actually.”

“Wonderful. We’ll all have breakfast together. Get to know each other.” Tony gestures towards where you’d run from, Bucky giving your hand a small squeeze before releasing it, his cheeks pink as you both realize you’ve just been staring at each other with dopey smiles painted on your faces.

Bucky walks closely beside you, although not as close as Howl who is pressed right up against his leg as he walks, your arms brushing against each other comfortably as you make your way to the cafe entrance...as if you’d walked like this a hundred times before. And it’s nice - this feeling of finding your soulmate, of finally being able to talk to them and to touch them. In fact, your fingers are nearly twitching with the need to touch him. Bucky holds the door open for you and then pulls your chair out for you when you’re all taken back to the now joined tables. This is all you could’ve asked for.

Plus you did have that week and a half left of vacation time...

Of Rust and Gold: Season Two

Or more like...the beginning of my world building posts for Of Vipers and Saints (the sequel) 

My other world building posts:  1  2  3  4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Main Wip Intro here

Below you’ll find a rundown of the key figures/prominent characters of the sequel so let’s get to this, shall we?

OVS, Of Rust and Gold’s first sequel takes us back to the Escana Empire where the Harver reign faces new struggles when they’re asked to join a war on foreign soil, rebellions against their rule are sparked, and an assassination attempt threatens to tear it all apart.  Prince Argus and his ex-pirate lover Leo are finally given the chance to be together, but as the political climate gets hot even they might turn against each other.

Prince Argus: Older and (slightly) wiser, Argus has said goodbye to his party boy nature although not by choice and spends much of his time as a councilman and still pushing his nose into other people’s business and matters that go over his head. Now with fewer friends, a bigger rift between him and his cousin, and a boyfriend he spends all his money on. Lonely but still well dressed. Oh. And he proposed to Leo. 

King Cidro: King of Escan and Emperor of all her territories. Cidro’s reign is still young and he struggles to emerge from the shadow left by Frederick and to move Escan away from the history that stains them. Can be found either doting on his wife or cooing at one of three children he now has. Being a king can get busy but he’ll be damned if he doesn’t get in his family time. A very nice guy but possibly not very keen of his youngest brother’s sugar baby?

Prince Leonides: With their father gone, Leonides has possibly occupied an even bigger space in court. Still striking fear and reluctant attraction into the hearts of others. Between him and the queen, sometimes it’s hard to tell who’s really pulling the strings behind the scenes but at least we can always trust Leonides to know everyone’s deepest darkest secrets. Or does he? 

Queen Liliana: Queen Consort of Escan and Empress of all her territories. After pushing out 3 kids (1 girl and twin boys) she’s moved onto other “duties”. Such as shadowing Cidro everywhere he goes and constantly whispering in his ear before he makes big decisions. What’s she saying? No one knows but no one is gonna ask either because of the resting bitch face. 

Princess Zurina: The only daughter of the late King Frederick and Argus’ oldest sister. The past couple of years have not been easy for her and she’s tired of not being included. She also thinks she’s cursed and that demons are gonna pry the empire from their hands and hates when their religious neighbors come to court.

Princess Damaris/Dame Havisa: Having pushed more of her focus onto knighthood and her work, Damaris is just one step away from leaving the Harver family entirely. After Argus, she’s been engaged several times. Luckily, nothing stuck.

Councillor Gilabert: A councilman who sits next to Argus during meetings. He’s in charge of a whole ass committee put together specifically to find Argus literally anyone else to marry as long as it’s not A. an ex-pirate and B. an ugly ex-pirate. He’s a nice guy. Ask him about his aunts.

Chancellor Harver: Or Prince Manolo. Although he took priestly vows and is technically no longer a prince. He lives and works in the holy capital of Mignola but is back to ask for a favor as war wrecks havoc throughout Codua and the most religious Santivians seem to think this is the Saints saying that something ain’t right with the world. He started growing a mustache. No one has the guts to tell him it’s not a good look. 

Prince Aayden Ponsonby: Possibly Argus’ only friend at this point. Friend, being used liberally. He still has a short temper, but now with more angst considering his father has been locked in his room for 3 years and now he has a family and legacy of his own to consider. 

Lady Cordinia ana’Gustavo Carvallo: Ex-queen, still a stepmom. Cidro put her in charge of the royal nursery. Keep as far away from Argus has possible.

Lord Enyo an’Tomas Serafin: After being dumped he’s actually been away from court for quite some time but could be tempted to come back. Or forced. Depending. 

Reverend Mother Ulrike: Mother of all Santivian nuns and here to pull Escan and Oskya into a war in Codua. It’s a messy situation but hey, some of the Harvers have a bone to pick with the Justice (religious leader) too and she’s hoping to pull them in if only because this might have a negative effect on their empire. 

Ambassador Ulmer: Oskyan Ambassador who literally will never be able to get a break. 

Hartanti Telak: King Frederick might be dead but she remains in the palace as a kindness from King Cidro. Not for any other reason. She has no other job. We swear. 

Maltoq Zamen: So...is he a prisoner? Is he a guest? Are people really still mad at him over the whole “almost fed Argus to a living god” thing? Wow. Get over yourselves. Oh. Also the figurehead ruler of Theassau, one of many territories controlled by Escan. He’s been held in Graza Palace for some time now. 

Marcel: A man traveling with Mother Ulrike because he sought help after fleeing religious persecution caused by the wars in Codua. Certainly not a con artist and definitely not someone Leo recognizes.  

Leo Dianglo: Still grumpy, still drinks a bit too much, and still would rather not talk about it. All he wants to do is put his life of crime behind him (or does he?) and spend some well-deserved time with the man he loves but it’s hard when literally no one in Graza wants him there and he’s constantly being pushed in different directions. Not to mention being the guardian of two teenage boys have put him in more troubling scenarios than he ever signed up for. At least now he’s the captain of his own ship and what he does is totally LEGAL.

Mel: Angst-riddled teenager, definitely cursed, and struggling to understand something no one can really explain to him. With his dad still on the run, people keep coming to him for answers he doesn’t have. But worse yet, they’re trying to teach him things. 

Mung: Pirate orphan #2. When he’s not threatening to murder Mel, he’s also spending way more time with him than he’d like to admit. Sure, Mung is definitely hiding something but he also slouches too much. Let’s pay attention to that instead.

Officer Gerwin: Commander of Escan’s Knights. He’s never having a good day.

Sir Erasmus: Knight elected to keep an eye on Leo and his wards to watch for any illegal activity.  

Tarley Vilardi: A Fate (solider of the Saints) who survived the night all hell broke loose in the holy city. An ex-lover of the now-dead Niels Dursten and blames a certain Harver for it. 

Lady Ludovica: A woman living in Mignola with her children and a distant relative to Mother Ulrike. Might speak up in a case against the Harvers because another one stopped writing her back after their affair. 

Duchess Benedetta Onesta Cassiopeia de ave Astorino: Yes. You have to say her whole name. She’s young and the daughter of a warlord who had a dedicated following, as such she’s been raised as a soldier and her men would die for her. And that’s likely why she’s been waging war in Codua since she was 10. But recently she’s gotten more ambitious and that can’t have anything to do with the fact that her uncle is Justice and hoping to build an empire of his own? In the process of trying to work out an engagement with someone that would give her land on Escana soil and no one wants her to step foot out of Codua. 

Justice Zisa: Well polite in manners he’s known to be quite ambitious and selective when it comes to telling people his intentions. Is he putting any effort into stopping his bloodthirsty niece or is he party to the destruction she’s causing?

Wiara: A girl Leo found in a shipwreck. She claims to be a princess but she was also smelled like blood magic and no one is really sure how she ended up there or what she wants. 

Sister Rosalie Pélissier: Working in the Kallenbach household, a Kellish nun working out the terms of engagement between Lord Gaius Kallenbach, one of the last of the Kellish nobility, and Duchess Benedetta. She also has some radical ideas about the Saints and could possibly be tempted to guide someone else who isn’t a warlord if they’re willing to listen/bring the change she believes the world needs.

Lady Philomené Kallenbach: One of the last of the Kellish nobility. At one point she was engaged to Argus and at another was the symbol for the last Kellish rebellion against the Escana Empire. She and Sister Rosalie are very close.

Lord Gaius Kallenbach: Phil’s younger brother. Might marry Duchess Benedetta and invite her onto Escana soil.  

Lord Elas an’Rodro Barraza: The rivalry between the Barrazas and Harvers goes back to the beginning of Frederick’s reign. There’s a lot of bad blood but current events invite the Barraza family to Graza for a celebration and surely an old man with a grudge is no worse than all the other threats surrounding them. 

Tamune: The living god in the cells deep within Alda. 

 An Assassin: Someone tried to kill a Harver. The question is who?

[aegon]

now that I’ve had time to process what happened, I’m not as emotional about the ending as I am just fucking furious at the insult.

you spend years - I still had goddamn braces, put hearts over my i’s and was at my peak gothic phase when this bullshit first started so fucking years - building an inherently thoughtful narrative that was just so rich and complex and emotional with a fascinating range of strong characters, all leading towards an epic conclusion of the end of the world, of the ultimate fight for survival that explored such intricate concepts as life, death, justice blah dee fucking blah.

you spend so much time making me give a shit about these characters, of showing me how painfully human they are, their tragedies, their journeys, their redemptions, their rise and fall and every bullshit in-between.

for it all to the thrown away in single-handedly the most expensive piece of shit I’ve ever seen. the producers pretty much took a massive dump while jerking each other off, sprinkled it with benjamin franklins, threw in some gratuitous dragon cgi, and called it a day.

nothing matters. that’s the lesson. the ones that won are the ones that did fucking nothing to deserve it, and the ones who lost are the ones who sacrificed everything for the ungrateful gremlins we’re apparently supposed to be rooting for.

and everything else? yeah, fuck you and your redemption arc, jaime. oh hey rhaegar, guess what, you asshole? your kids mean diddly squat. no, really, the whole prophecy and prince who was promised garbage was all shits and giggles. the wood witch was high on crack and azor ahai is an anagram for “kiss my ass, you dumbfucks.”

arya didn’t need to learn how to change faces. she could have literally spent years learning how to knife flip and stabbing a block of ice, and nothing would need to change from this last season. nymeria? wolf pack? lmao who gives a fuck, certainly not the writers. then she peaces the fuck out after spending five hot minutes with her fucked up family, probably to find some good plot because fuck knows you can’t find it in this wankfest.

bran’s warging abilities and his grand mystical journey were all about him eyefucking whatever poor soul walked by or cosplaying as a bird and flapping about fucking uselessly until he could roll up dramatically in the end like “hey fam I’m here to be king lmao, look I brought starbucks.”

jon didn’t actually come back to serve some great purpose. the truth is, he fucking bored everyone in the afterlife with his impressions of a miserable puppy so the lord of light told mel to get him the fuck out because he was ruining game night.

and sansa? oh well our darling sansa did nothing for two seasons but sow discord in her own family and endanger a valuable alliance that was made to save her useless sack of shit of a home. if we’re supposed to see dany executing slavers as villainous, why in the fuckity fuck should I be rooting for a girl whose greatest asset USED to be courtesy and being kind and missing her family, but who’s now some knock-off cersei/littlefinger lovechild whose throne is built on the ashes of the bridges she burned to get there. she’s left all alone in some cold ass, broke ass, racist ass kingdom with no one she loves and no one who loves her because they’ve all peaced out, and that’s supposed to be a happy ending. power cravings are a hell of a drug. but hey, we got our yaaaasssss queeeeeeen moment and that’s enough for a certain portion of her fandom so good for her.

and dany? dany spends years fighting for the people and for freedom and justice and to break away from the toxicity of her family’s tarnished legacy to reestablish the vision of what house targaryen should always have been. but fuck that bullshit, bells are her kryptonite, and she’s the big bad evil for using harsh methods to rid the world of assholes. the audacity. dany should have done what tyrion and jon do to their enemies which is give them a hug and ask them pretty please with sugar on top not to be evil because westeros is a pacifist continent and no one has ever used violence ever. fuck me.

the dothraki just kinda forgot they’re supposed to follow a khal but it was really very sweet of them and the unsullied to care so much about westerosi customs as to wait for the punishment of the man who murdered their queen to be processed in an orderly and lawful fashion. how quaint.

and then they kindly fucked off before seeing the sentence through because they’re so stupidly trusting of a bunch of dickwad lords who wanted their queen dead. mmkay. also let’s just ignore the fact that either sansa or bran could issue jon a pardon the way robert issued jaime a pardon but clearly neither of them gave enough of a fuck for their brother to give him the choice for where he’d like to spend the rest of his life. also his name and blood makes him a threat to both their thrones so condemning him to the wall strips him of any right, whether he likes it or not....so bye forever jon try not to die again xxxx

the pack survives? nah, the pack used each other as a means of reaching their goals then cast each other side the moment they had what they wanted.

ned stark’s legacy, my fucking ass.

but all that aside, you know what the most insulting part of all this is?

in their pursuit to break clichés and give us some bullshit moral lesson about leadership, they contradict themselves to an idiotic degree where even the biggest dumbass could see through it.

the whole argument that was literally shoved into our face for episodes and used against dany was that the “one who doesn’t want to be king, would be a good king.” ignoring the fact that ambition is an incredibly important factor in any good leader, this lesson serves to insult d&d’s favourite character.

enter: sansa stark, character dreaming of the throne for an entire eight seasons. are d&d implying she won’t be a good queen because everything she’s done is because she wants to be queen? or were they too busy jerking themselves off to sansa to see the picture they were painting of her reign?

the next argument the show failed to realise they fucked up: the lannisters, the tyrells, petyr baelish - all were punished for adopting a ruthless machiavellian sociopathic mindset to win the game of thrones, betraying everyone around them and sacrificing family and allies along the way.

enter: house stark. sansa betrays jon’s trust (and is rightfully not given forgiveness for it because fuck that). bran apparently knew that king’s landing would burn and that his brother and sister would suffer for it but lmao he’s about to be king so who gives a fuck. arya does not see or feel the need to stand by her family to see them through this fragile transition of power because she wants to go exploring. no one in this godforsaken family apparently loved each other enough. and yeah, welcome to the new house lannister. wolves and lions aren’t so different. both prey on the weak, after all.

and finally, fuck you, bronn, you fan-serviced jumped up fuck. a mercenary with zero development and who offers nothing to the narrative is now the lord of the richest region in the realm. nice.

okay, i’m done now.

[daeneryses]

okay so I KNOW NO ONE ASKED but im stil gonna comment on the episode

ofc its filled w spoilers and under a read more

how the hell is the death count so freaking low. plot armor at its FINEST i could have sworn sam was ab to bite it at like 3 different times. also brienne jaime and podrick (at least one of them should have died and u KNOW IT). i know some characters have to be alive bc KL but???? what are the odds mate they were being fucking massacred. also conveniently all the dothraki died i gues to make it seem like they really lost smth while conveniently not killing off named characters

how is greyworm still alive

how did we only lose five (5) named characters in the battle WHAT ARE THE FUCKING ODDS. they didnt burn edd’s body i’m ;___; that’s all he wanted

no one important died at the crypts not even VARYS can u believe

so i guess i’m mad at how we all built up so much anticipation over this chapter, the longest episode ever, longest battle in cinematographic history, and then nothing happened??? i mean yeah jorah died i was DEVASTATED bc my dude kept on fighting even with 63 stab wounds and theon who got to die protecting his little brother and little lyanna killed a giant!!! but ???? 

i also CANT believe how useless dany and jon were. Jon mostly. he really was about to die yelling at a wight dragon im sorry but i have to laugh. at least dany set some wights on fire what did jon do. YOU TWO HAD D R A G O N S that should have been a real game changer but they were playing tag with viserion.

ALSO

that was it???? the big threat that was looming over westeros for 7 seasons is just gone??? how did the NK survive being ROASTED but with a stabby stab he was dead. i am so confused what even was that. im conflicted because arya did that!!!! she really saved the day but it shouldnt have been that easy, how did she even sneak up on him, weren’t all of his WW watching???? also so many wights? how did she fight that i just---????

so now the main threat is cersei which i ?????? WHAT 

she was right all along  how HILARIOUS is that. her plan might work that’s just so fckin ridiculous i dont even have WORDS

episode 4 better fucking deliver and answer many questions bc i am not satisfied at all

but it wasnt all bad!!!! the scene where the dothraki get obliterated sent chills down my spine i have to admit it. also, all those who died died really good and worthy deaths, except maybe edd. 

brienne and jaime saving each other several times was great.

the hound overcoming his fear of fire to go save arya was very sweet and emotional.

arya in general was very very fucking good this episode, her fights were amazing i can’t imagine how much maisie had to train. she owns the episode imo (not just bc of the final scene). Arya fighting with the weird ass weapon gendry made her? a  V I S U A L. the scene where she’s hiding in the library was very good imo, it made me very tense i was so nervous it’s ridiculous how invested i was. arya with the arrows? i loved it, she was just overall amazing.

also beric dying after he saved arya bc that was his great purpose made me emo. 

so im not mad ab arya doing it, it was a good twist bc everyone thought it’d be jon and it shows that azor ahai is bullshit. but the execution was so fucking anti climatic and LAZY. they should have dropped more clues throughout the series bc all we had was the whole speech mel gave her back in season 2 WHICH NO ONE COULD HAVE GUESSED BECAUSE SHE ACTUALLY BECOMES AN ASSASSIN OFC SHE WOULD SHUT BLUE EYES NOT ONLY WHITE WALKERS HAVE BLUE EYES. 

but well i guess next episode will have to answer some questions huh.

also i really hope they drop the whole tyrion x sansa thingy they tried to give us bc im huuuuuhh not feeling it. at all.

its a well directed episode, it gave us some amazing visuals, some very emotional moments, but if they wanted to pull off such a twist like the one i just witnessed they had to earn it throughout the entire SERIES. arya should have had more screen time throughout the series, they should have dropped more foreshadowing that would make us go :0 in hindsight. 

idk man

BUT SHE DID THAT!!! I CAN ONLY HOPE EVERYONE GIVES HER THE RECOGNITION SHE DESERVES AT WINTERFELL. HELL AT WESTEROS!!!!! the princess who was promised. i expect everyone bending BACKWARDS for her they owe her so much. she should just dip out now and go love a happy peaceful life no one deserves her.

Line In The Sand - Chapter Eight

Tama Tonga/OC

Author’s Note: Honestly .... a lot of arguing. lol. Before we get to the romance and love. And sadness ....

The ride to the house Colin had purchased was quiet. Tama nor Sevyn made a move to turn on the radio or strike up a conversation. Tama was afraid she would lash out at him; Sevyn just wanted nothing to do with him. She was angry and she wanted him to know it. She wanted to know when Colin had purchased the home instead of reservations at a hotel but that would mean she would have to talk to him.

 His car had barely come to a stop before Sevyn had bolted out of it. She stood at the front door of the rather large house waiting for her to let him in.

 “I’ll go back later and get our bags,” he whispered pushing the door open.

 Sevyn hummed, stomping into the house. Her focus was on finding a room she could away from Tama in. She couldn’t stand to be around him,

 “Baby, I’m sorry. I didn’t think she would do that to you.”

 She knew he would follow her, that didn’t mean she had to talk to him though. If this is how things were going to go then she could have stayed locked up in her room back in Florida with Colin. At least she knew what to expect with, he let up eventually.

 “How long are you gonna ignore me, Sevyn? The silent treatment is pretty childish for people our age.”

 Just as she had closed the door to a bathroom she had found, she stopped in her tracks at his words. She rolled her eyes not bothering to turn and face him.

 “Fuck you, Tama,” she scoffed.

 Her words made him pause. She wasn’t just angry at him, he had hurt her. Hurting her was never his intentions.

 “Look, I’m sorry. I don’t know how many times you want me to say it.” He sighed rubbing his silky beard anxiously. “The bedroom is the last door on your right, Sevyn.”

 Humming out a ‘thank you’, Sevyn went to the room attempting to close the door behind her. He pushed the door back open, going to sit beside her on the king sized bed.

 “Please talk to me. I don’t like not hearin’ your voice, Sugar.” He pled quietly.

 “Yeah well I don’t like being ambushed like that.”

 “I know I should have said something but I thought she was gonna be nicer than what she was.”

 “Your sister is not changing her mind about me. To her, I mean nothing and I am nothing. Because your sister feels so strongly about me we could never e together if I got away from Colin, Tama,” she explained glaring at him. “And because I smacked the shit outta her ass.”

 With his head hung low, Tama grabbed for her hand lacing his fingers with hers. He didn’t like to argue with anyone, Sevyn was no different.

 “I can fix that, Sev.”

 She snatched her hand from his grasp as she stared at the side of his face. “You think you can fix everything and you can’t, Tama! You can’t fix your sister’s fucked up perception of me, you can’t fix how Colin treats me and you for damn sure can’t fix the position I’m in. You’re trying to be Captain Save-A-Hoe and it’s just not worth it. I’m not worth it.”

 “Sevyn, please. Listen, you’re stressed out and all over the place. Let’s just calm down,” he suggested lifting his head to look at her.

 “Stop!” She shouted. “Don’t tell me what I am and what to do. I’m tired, I am so fucking tired.”

 Tama moved closer to her, shoulder to shoulder. “Tired of what, Sev?”

 “This and you,” she sighed softly. “I don’t get why you’re going so hard about this. You don’t really want me, I’m just easy access for you.”

 “No, you’re not, you’re more to me than that. I care more for you than any other woman in my life besides my sister.”

 “I hear you, Tama. I just,” she paused looking at her hand cradled inside of his, “I wanna believe you but I can’t. No one just wants me for me. They want me for their own good, for what I can do for them.”

 “Let me show you that I mean what I say. Can I do that?” He asked kissing the back of her hand.

 “I don’t care, Tama. Just give me some space. I need to be alone right now. Please?”

 “You got it, beautiful. But before I go let me get some sugar, Sev.”

 Looking over to him, she smirked seeing the sneaky grin on his face. She leaned in quickly placing a quick kiss on his lips.

 “There now go,” she laughed pushing his chest away.

 “Kiss me like you mean it,” he whispered.

 Tama pulled her face to his by her chin, pushing his lips against hers. He deepened the kiss as he laid her back on the bed. Their bodies intertwined with him lying between her legs. One hand gripped her thigh and the other wrapped loosely around her throat, putting slight pressure on it. The room was quiet outside of the smacking of their lips and their groans. In the heat of their kiss, Tama hitched Sevyn’s leg up on his waist preparing for his next move but she had other plans, she pulled away from the kiss and pushed him off her.

 “The space I asked for, Tama. I meant it. Go,” she demanded softly.

  “Alright, alright,” he laughed raising up from the bed, “I’m gonna go grab our stuff from Mel’s house. I’ll lock up behind me, call me if you need anything, Sevyn.”

 “You know I will, Tama. Go before her hateful ass cuts my shit up.” He gave a warning glance making her laugh. “I was joking. Geez.”

  “You better not have that bitch with you, Tama.”

 Tama rolled his eyes as he entered the kitchen, approaching the island his sister and Roman stood. She held an ice pack to the cheek Sevyn had slapped, Tama could see a bruise forming.

 “Her name is Sevyn. I won’t say it again.” Tama spoke through gritted teeth, barring down on the island.

 “Why the fuck do you keep taking up for that bitch? Her pussy can’t possibly be that good.” Melanie spat tossing the ice pack down.

 Tama took slow deep breaths, trying to calm himself. He loved his sister dearly but he was over her attitude.

 “Chill, Mel. He clearly doesn’t like what you’re saying,” Roman said placing a hand on her shoulder. “Just stop it.”

 “I don’t give a fuck what he likes, Roman. He shouldn’t have brought her hoe ass to my house.”

 “Shut the fuck up,” he growled loudly. Melanie sat stunned at her brother’s words. He had never spoken to her that way. “I’m so tired of your fucking attitude every single time I bring someone to meet your spoiled ass. Even after I told you she was a good person and shit, you still stood here in her face and disrespected her.”

 “Well, you shouldn’t have brought that bitch he—,” Tama slamming his hands down on the counter startled her. She closed her mouth tight watching her brother closely. “Do not call her out of her name again, Melanie! Are we clear?” he asked staring dead into her eyes.

 “Either way, Tama. You brought her here and expected me to laugh and smile with her like we’re best friends.”

 “No, I expected to bring her here and you not act like you’re a spoiled ass brat. That shit was kind of cute, funny even at times when you were younger but now it’s old,” Tama ranted moving his hands around as he spoke. “Every female I bring to meet you, you act like a fucking brat towards them. Either you’re gonna act like you got sense or I’ll be gone. Because now you’re not only fucking with my love life but you’re fucking with my job and I’m not havin’ that shit, Melanie.”

 “So you’re really gonna choose her over your sister? The only flesh and blood you have in this world,” she scoffed.

 Roman stepped in before Tama could answer her question. He knew Tama would have cursed her out with no hesitation and left. “Mel, you’re missing the point. He’s not choosing her, he’s asking you to grow up and stop being so childish. You’re putting his work in jeopardy and he clearly has strong feelings for Sevyn.”

 “Oh, I’m putting his work in jeopardy? Me?” She chuckled looking between her husband and her brother. “That’s funny cause I think you did that when you stuck your dick inside her.”

 “You know what,” he humbled laughing lowly to himself, “I’m gonna go before I do or say something I regret later. I just came here to our bags anyway.”

 “Don’t leave, Uce. Let’s talk about this.”

 “Nah, Ro. Let’s not,” he said staring directly into his sister’s eyes. “We clearly aren’t gonna see eye to eye on this and I’m not fighting with my sister, my only flesh and blood.”

 Melanie watched him walk away, her anger fading with each step he took. She wanted to stop him but her pride wouldn’t let her. The things she said about Sevyn, she was not going to take back and she knew that would be the only way Tama would speak to her again.

 After taking a two-hour drive around Los Angeles, Tama finally headed back tot the house he and Sevyn were sharing. He knew she was probably worrying about him, figuring he wouldn’t be gone long. He pulled into the gated driveway, making sure it was closed before he pulled into the two-car garage.

 He found her lying on the sofa in a ball with a comforter wrapped tightly around her.

 “Hey, Suga,” he said kneeling to kiss her.

 “You got our stuff,” she asked after kissing him back.

“Mmhm. You tired, huh? Jetlag’s a bitch.”

 She shook her head then sat up a little so he could sit down. Tama pulled her back down, so she could lie her head in his lap. “No, it’s my stomach. I’ve been sick since you left.”

 “Like throwing up or the other thing,” he asked laughing.

 She popped his chest laughing a bit, “Throwing up, Tama. And now I’ve got heartburn.”

 “Might’ve been the plane ride, babe. Or that virus you had a couple of weeks ago is making it’s comeback.”

 “Whatever it is, I need it to go away,” she sighed looking up at him playing in his beard, “How did it go with her sister?”

 “She’s still being all bitchy and disrespectful so I left. I tried talking to her but it didn’t work. I wasn’t gonna stand there and allow her to attack you that way.”

 “Baby, you didn’t have to do that. Melanie is your sister and I don’t want to come in between that.”

 “Don’t worry about it, Sev. She’ll come around eventually,” he said as he scrolled thorugh his emails.

 “If she doesn’t?” Sevyn asked.

 He shrugged in response not really caring for the conversation anymore. In his mind, he knew he wasn’t wrong so there was no need to even dwell on the situation.

 Sevyn rose suddenly from her spot eith her hand cupped over her mouth, tossing her comforter aside and ran towards the bathroom off the side of the living room slamming the door behind her.

Welcome, dear readers, to the much anticipated Union Season 1 finale, featuring the diverse cast of well-developed characters we’ve all come to love, such as cheating whore #1, cheating whore #2, and my personal favorite, cheating whore #3. Also starring purple Hannibal Lecter, Melody Tinker’s sunglasses, and Leon Trotsky. Last update saw the erotic tension between resident porn-king Gunther and his brother’s intended, Regina George Brittany Upsnott finally boil over, leading to this harrowing image:

GOOD TIMES. Let’s pick up right where we left off..

.. namely precious Gunther immediately jumping into bed with Melody not two minutes after his close encounter of the Brit kind. Guns has been suspiciously loyal and un-gross ever since we moved out of the dorms, but apparently his goal for senior year is to out-worst everyone else in the house. What a comeback!

Meanwhile Brit is depressingly bowling her frustrations away under the unforgiving desert sky. Whaddup Brit, you must be dealing with some pretty complicated emotions right now.

-What?? No way, I’m totally, totally fine!

I mean sure, why wouldn’t you be, it’s not like you’ve fucked literally everything up. After spending half of college dealing with fucking HaremGate all I wanted was an uneventful senior year I could speed through, but that would be too easy now, WOULDN’T IT.

-The pins are you well-laid out plans for the future!

UGH Brit seriously, this isn’t happening. As in we’re gonna pretend it literally never happened, you’re gonna marry Daniel, Gunther is gonna marry Mel, everyone will live happily ever after and that’s the last I’m gonna hear of this bullshit.

BRIT THE FUCK DID I JUST SAY

-I’m just heartfarting, GAWD

Yea you’re also about to fucking serenade him in front of Mel, have you legit lost your mind??? Is this how the rest of this year will go, me chasing you around cancelling your dumbass actions?

-Probably! lolol!

-Aww Brit, if there was an award for best couple, we would definitely win it <3

-Oh please, Gunther and I have you totally beat!

-Yea right Mel, bet you §10 me and Brit are gonna move in together before you and Gunther do!

-…So how you liking that pizza, Gunther?

-…Oh it’s good, Brit, thanks for asking.

Meanwhile it looks like my restless Jojo/Wyatt reconciliation efforts have finally borne fruit! Good job, Wyatt!

-It’s no job, I’m just following mon coeur!

Nice, follow it all the way to redemption!

YASSSS. I can’t stress enough how many times Wyatt had to apologize to get us to this point, I’m talking half their awake time for 3 days. God. The whole thing has been an extremely repetitive nightmare but finally we can put it to rest. Much like we put Frances! BURN IN HELL

Finally, the universe has responded to my desperate pleas. I will even forgive the creepy ass llama because for once the cheering is completely appropriate. Reunited and it feels so good! Especially for me because if I had to press the apologize button one more time istg.

Well.. The universe giveth and the universe taketh away. Literally can’t leave these dicks unsupervised for more than a minute before they start slutting it up. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO

-Oh oh oh oh oh OH, caught in a bad romance <3

STOP SINGING INTO EACH OTHER’S MOUTHS. It’s time for drastic measures. Gunther is obviously unfamiliar with the concept of decency but maybe there’s still hope for Brittany..

..especially after Daniel gives her a high-class romantic evening! Looking great, Dan. Please stop picking your teeth.

-I’m so uncomfortable, my hair hasn’t seen the light of day since I was a toddler! I’m putting my cap back on.

DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. Also suppress your gag reflex + every instinct in your body because it’s time-

-to hit Londoste! OOH LA LA

-Brit, I feel like we’re.. ridiculously overdressed.

-No such thing, darling!

-I’ll be having the filet mignon and a glass of the Veronaville ‘64, thank you.

-And I’ll be having chicken nuggets and a detailed report of the working conditions in this bourgie hellhole.

-DANIEL YOU PROMISED

-Let’s raise a glass to us and our magical evening together-

-Yes, and this delicious food, stained with the tears of the working farmhand-

-Daniel, please.

-My beloved ice queen, even though the diamond engagement ring “tradition” is another completely made up, SHAMELESS CAPITALIST SCAM, I just couldn’t bear the thought of wounding your gigantic, aggressively materialistic ego.. Marry me, my darling, be my Nadezhda!

-OH baby of course I’ll marry you! Everything before this moment doesn’t count, right?

-I mean.. sure?

-Great!

Yes, what a wonderful, subtle night.

-Oh Brit, you make me the happiest worker alive, which of course is a completely paradoxical state under capitalism!

AWW MEANT TO BE <3 Finally we can put that gross, freckled chapter behind us.

THAT’S RIGHT YOU BETTER RUN

-WOOO congrats for not cheating for an entire day, Gunther!

Our greek house is currently at a pathetic level 3 and it’s not hard to see why. As if the graves of Jojo’s former flames weren’t enough to put people off, imagine walking by and seeing this.

This shit is still going on and has reached the hate-boner point where these two have permanent wants to see each other’s ghost. So much for nice points!

Also going on: this bizzare, inexplicable feud that appeared literally out of nowhere.

-SHUT UP WYATT MAGIC ISN’T REAL

-IT SO IS MAGIQUE IS ALL AROUND US

Finals are upon us! Only one semester of this fuckery left. There are of course two kinds of people, the kind pictured above..

..and my peeps.

Gunther, who hasn’t done anything college related since we were back in the dorms and Blue Meatballs et al were writing his papers, somehow still has a 4.0 gpa. Wow Gunther, what’s your secret??

-It’s no secret, I banged the half-alien professor.

Oh right lmao. You’re looking pretty down boo, what’s wrong?

-Man idk, I’m struggling with what might be like.. legit feelings for Brit.

WHAT. WELL PUT THEM BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM GUNTHER AND DRINK YOUR SORROWS AWAY LIKE AN ADULT. GOD

YOU TOO BRITTANY. ISTFG YOU ASSHOLES ARE NOT FUCKING THIS UP ANY FURTHER.

CAUSE HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LAST PERSON WHO WENT OFF SCRIPT. Looking good, Fran!

…………………………poor Brittany obviously suffered a stroke at some unspecified point in time. As if she didn’t have enough problems.

SO. CLOSE. We just have to get through this one semester without the entire charade imploding, is that too much to ask????

APPARENTLY YES. GODDAMMIT GUNTHER

-The heart wants what it wants.

What DOES it want tho, Selena, cause last time I checked you were in love with Mel you GIANT ASS

-Yea, hell if I know! Huhu!

IF I HEAR YOU PEOPLE HUHU ONE MORE TIME

In equally distressing news Mickey Dosser was passing by and I invited him in just to see if he would go straight for the bubbles, which he of course did..

..a move so irresistible that Wyatt had to stop and swoon over him literally in the middle of his millionth Jojo apology. I’ve honestly never had a sim court death as persistently as Wyatt, dude straight up WANTS TO DIE.

-HOW DARE YOU WALTZ IN HERE AND TRY TO SEDUCE MY BOYFRIEND RIGHT BEFORE MY VERY EYES YOU VILE DISGUSTING SLOB

-Wut

-GET. OUT. BEFORE I STUFF YOU AND PUT YOU ON MY PORCH FOR HALLOWEEN

-Wyatt.. I sensed it was you.

-Of course, Jojό <3 I got your message, why did you send a raven, I’m just upstairs-

-SILENCE. I invited you here, to my favorite place on this entire wretched planet, the center around which revolves my very existence..

-..to ask you a very important question that I want you to CAREFULLY consider, taking into account that you’re standing next to the graves of the last people to betray me..

-Wyatt Monif, you must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you. Almost from the earliest moments of our acquaintance, I have come to feel for you a passionate admiration and regard, which despite all my struggles and your whoring around, has overcome every rational objection, and I beg you most fervently to relieve my suffering and consent to be my husband. Also to please ignore my brother woohooing in the hot tub behind us and ruining the moment.

-MON DIEU JOJÓ, OUI, OUI A THOUSAND TIMES OUI!! <3

-Wyatt.

-Oui? <3

-Please don’t make me murder you, ok? Promise?

-Never, Jojό!

AW, what a beautiful engagement you guys, I’m tearing up.

AND FINALLY, IT’S OVER. Gunther seriously graduated summa cum laude, how in the fucking world I legit dk but whatever!

The last supper.. The Union bros have all graduated and I’m gonna speed-play the rest through their last year. Also Daniel and Melody are bffs now, I didn’t even know they were talking but nice.

Time to go back where we came from! Ah, all grown up. It seems like yesterday they were toddlers surviving on cat food.

Brit is the youngest of the bunch and has the whole house to herself after Mel and Wyatt graduate, a situation she takes advantage of by ALMOST CHEATING WITH THE FUCKING LLAMA. BRIT ISTG

Finally, it’s time for Brit to leave our gross, incestuous cocoon. We’re gonna need a placeholder for the next generation tho, so as much as it pains me to say..

..it’s Frances time. Bitch literally scares Brit as she’s trying to resurrect him, way to make me doubt my merciful decision Fran!

Ugh great. Welcome back, Frances. I really did prefer you dead.

Yea, can’t make any promises there. I don’t know what kind of wave of kindness overcame me, but I felt bad for Fran being all alone so…

-I’M BACK BITCHES

Can’t believe we wasted 20k on these assholes but whatever. Time to grow up, Brit!

Oh yea, looking good! Taking the ‘on Wednesdays we wear pink’ rule to extreme lengths.

And we’re out of here, leaving the place in the capable hands of Fran and Ti-Ning, who immediately reconnect for a hot tub celebration of life.

So normally you’d think that would be the end of it and we’d get to the heir vote, right? RIGHT?

WRONG. Please bear with me through this incredible bullshit. So I’m taking the heir vote portraits, specifically Jojo’s, and everyone else is hanging around on the edges of this empty photoshoot lot, when suddenly the fight cloud appears. At first I think it’s Wyatt/Daniel aka business as usual but then I make the horrifying discovery that it’s.. DANIEL/BRIT.

As expected, the MINUTE I looked away, Gunther/Brit went for it in plain sight, leading to the eruption of a massive shitshow. I’m like ok w/e we’re basically in pre-heir vote limbo so it doesn’t count, I’ll just quit without saving. But THEN I take a look at Daniel’s panel.. AND SEE THIS:

I’ve literally no idea WTF HAPPENED, HOW IT HAPPENED, WHY, WHO MADE THE FIRST MOVE but the fact is that right after catching Gunther/Brit cheating, Melody and Daniel somehow got together even though they have never given any indication of being into each other and have one sole pathetic bolt. My best guess is 4-nice-points Melody went for it as a revenge but seriously WHAT THE FUCK

GOOD TIMES. At this point I’m obviously even more like ‘I’M GONNA QUIT WITHOUT SAVING’ so I’m just taking these pics for shits and giggles, but THEN I look at Gunther’s panel… and see probably the most disturbing want I’ve ever come across:

OK THEN. Reminder that Gunther’s secondary is PLEASURE so there’s literally no explanation for this shit except for legit. true love. As much planning as I did for these couples I’m like who am I to refuse A ROMANCE SIM’S engagement want???? I mean I also planned for Jojo to marry Frances and we all saw how that went. So I decide to save the game, even though it’s kinda unorthodox since it didn’t happen during actual gameplay but w/e, you just can’t ignore shit like that!!

So I revisit the lot the next day and am faced with a shitshow of cosmic proportions. The whole thing is like a bizzaro parallel universe, I mean you have Brit and Dan legit looking like they crossed over from the set of NLL..

..Gunther and Mel heartfarting over each other while also wanting to beat each other up..

..this torrid affair out in the open..

..AND WHATEVER THE FUCK THIS IS. I changed their turn-ons and now they have 3 bolts cause it felt like they really got the short end of the stick but I still can’t get over this bullshit happening in the first place. At least Jojo and Wyatt are having a good time! I guess at this point there’s only one thing left to do..

..simultaneous break ups! The couple that dumps their fiances together stays together.

Moving on to simultaneous crying/sighs of relief. If it seems like I’m halfassing this by not writing any dialogue it’s because I am, but I legit can’t, the whole situation is just too absurd to dramatize.

And now to complete the wife-swap..

Incredible. Now, hold on to your seats, everyone.. because the red ring memory..

IS NOT GUNTHER’S. WHAT IN THE NAME OF HELL. BRIT GOT A RED RING FROM HER ROMANCE SECONDARY BUT SOMEHOW GUNTHER DIDN’T??? Honestly I’m hardly a romantic but. TRUE LOVE. Or a glitch. Let’s go with true love.

And there you have it. The end of generation 1, which will live in the annals of history as the one where literally no one ended up with the person I had in mind for them and I might as well haven’t been there for all the control I had over these assholes.

NOW. TIME TO VOTE.

WHO WILL IT BE????

Head over to my lj for a handy guide to voting + the link to the poll. Thank you all for reading! <3

Supernatural Survey

Tagged by @melissaj616, and since the smut is not coming (haha - see what I did there?), might as well do this...

1. What season did you start watching Supernatural? My husband says to me one fine June day when my son is gone for the week, “Hey I found a show you might like on Netflix.” So we started it and binged all 9 seasons in like 9 weeks between baseball and football, then I binged all of season 10 in like 2 days so I was ready for season 11 and now I do not miss a single one!

2. Who was the first character you fell in love with? Dean, DUH. I feel we both are tortured souls and the Mama in me just wants to snuggle him and tell him everything will be okay, when the woman in me just wants him to the man IN ME. 

3. Who was a character that you hated at first but grew to love? Cas, I find him awkwardly hysterical and it makes me giggle.

4. Which character would you most want to be in a long-term relationship with? Dean, forever and always it will be Dean. He may not be emotionally or mentally stable but I know he will do anything in his power to keep me safe and know that I am loved, even he can’t say it. 

5. If you could go on just one date with one character, which one would you choose? Since I already have Dean, I would like one date with Sammy, just to compare. 

6. What would you do on the date? We would talk about books and movies and then I would kick his ass in pop-culture trivia and that is when he realizes I really am the right girl for his brother. And he spends too much time on his hair.

7. Which character would you most want to be like? I want to be most like (ugh I don’t wanna say it) Jo. She wanted to be so fiercely independent but realized in the long run, she still needs those that love her. 

8. Which character would you most like to see brought back from the dead? (PRIOR TO THE S12 DEBACLE)You are going to make me choose?! Totally not fair. The boys need one of two things...Bobby for beyond obvious reasons, and Charlie, to remind them that they are only human but good men. 

9. Which character would you most like to punch? So, so so many. First Mary for being a dumbass in the first place, then John for being a jackass...let’s just start there. 

10. Who is your absolute favorite character? Dean. Hands down (his pants) no doubts.

11. Which “Big Bad” do you think was the worst? Amara, hate her

12. Which character are you most like? I would say I have the most in common with Charlie (totally stealing Mel’s answer here). The openness and honesty, the fact that she’s not fearless, but she’s brave in spite of her fears. The fact that she didn’t let her hardships turn her into a pessimistic person. And she is a kick-ass redhead! (that one was all me!).

13. What death hit you the hardest? Charlie, hands down, 1000 times. The devastation it did to the boys is what hit me the most. 

14. What season finale hit you the hardest? Probably 3 or maybe 7 (again PRIOR TO THE S12 DEBACLE).

15. What are your ten all-time favorite episodes? An almost impossible task... 1) Baby 2) Lazarus Rising (my boat is named Lazarus Rising) 3) Yellow Fever 4) Dog Dean Afternoon 5) Changing Channels 6) What Is And What never Should Be 7) Black 8) Soul Survivor 9) Weekend at Bobby’s 10) The Girl with the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo

16. What’s been your favorite season? I don’t know if I have a favorite season; I have episodes in each season that will win out over an entire season. 

17. Who is your favorite angel? I loved Gabriel.

18. Who’s your favorite demon? Crowley for the snark alone

19. Who’s your favorite evil character? I loved to hate Rowena (and she is a beautiful red head

20. Do you have any Supernatural ships? I always thought I wanted Dean x Jo, but now it is and forever will be Dean x Donna (right @deansdirtylittlesecretsblog). I will go down with that ship. Also, I think Sam and Jody should really get it on (I am sure that @ilostmyshoe-79 will agree).

21. Who’s your favorite supporting actor? I love me some Rob Benedict. Not so much as God, but as Chuck, I just fucking love him. 

22. What’s your favorite quote from the show? Anything out of Dean’s mouth. One my son and I quote at home frequently is “Dennis DeYoung is not a punk; he’s Mr. Roboto Bitch!”

23. If you could cast one famous actor in an episode of SPN, who would you chose? That is super tough...although I liked Mel’s answer of RDJ as the new King of Hell. 

24. If you could write your own episode, what kind of creature would you like to see included? I don’t even know but it would require them to run around shirtless or be in the shower. A lot. A WATER MONSTER!!!

25. Who’s your favorite girl that Dean’s hooked up with? Cassie, because she didn’t last long. But tbh, none of them. 

26. Who’s your favorite girl that Sam’s hooked up with? I loved Sarah Blake. She was good for Sam, not to mention she was smokin’ hot. 

27. What are some of your favorite convention moments? Anything from Rome. They are so much more relaxed and have such dirty minds. 

28. If you were going to guest star (or be a recurring guest star) on SPN, how would you want your character described? I woyuld want to be Charlie’s twin sister, only straight and way better in bed.

29. What do you hope to see in the next season? Someone better fix some shit!

30.-40. If you had to choose…

Bobby or John? Bobby. 

Bela or Ruby? Ruby 1.0 because of the all the sass.

Jess or Madison? can’t say I cared for either.

Jo or Lisa? Jo

Charlie or Kevin? Charlie. What is better than a nerdy redhead?

Balthazar or Ash? Ash

Cas or Crowley? Cas because ultimately, the boys need him. 

Ben or Claire? Ben, cause I still think he is Dean’s

Jody or Donna? Donna, gotta stick with my Minnesota girl

Sam or Dean? Dean, always and forever. He will make me laugh, keep me safe and piss me off every day. But I will always love him. 

Go! @whispersandwhiskerburn @imnoaingeal @charliebradbury1104 @just-another-busy-fangirl @tankcupcakes @chelsea072498 @death2thevirgin

23. Part 2

Robyn is stubborn but so am I, now she has to have my mother with her but Robyn won’t speak to me now. I am not having Robyn staying in that home and acting like she does, with my mom there she won’t do it, maybe just maybe. Robyn might break and tell her, she needs a little loving from a mother. Looking back down at my phone and pressing send to my tweet, I am trying to cancel out any rumours that I cancelled the tour “excited to be home?” locking my phone as I placed it in my lap “then you’re going right?” Robyn said at the side of me “yeah, tonight. Let’s try it again, I got your place cleaned for you. Mijo stayed with the people” Mijo wanted to help and he did “Mijo?” Robyn questioned “yep, you remember him right?” quickly looking over at Robyn “of course I do but you just haven’t really been hanging around with him” she still has a face on about my mom being there, feeling my phone vibrating on my lap. Looking down at my lap, seeing my PR calling “wonder what the hell they want” answering the call.

Luckily this traffic is flowing very slowly right now “yo” clearing my throat “Chris, everything good over there?” she said, she sounds happy which means no bad news “yeah everything good over here, you sound happy so does that mean I have done good?” I am intrigued to know “well I mean you have done nothing wrong, just need you to verify some things” I hate sitting in traffic, I hate LA sometimes “ok go ahead, I am listening” slowly driving “so are you and Rihanna officially together?” breathing out as I smiled “yeah we are” is that all it was “aww well I see a more happy you Chris, happy for you” smiling from ear to ear “thank you” I feel so happy, telling the world I am with the woman I love “I don’t want to upset you or anything like that but I am not sure Rihanna is aware, her family have said in a blog that you are keeping Rihanna away from her family” my face dropped “you being real?” I said in a state of shock “I am sorry to say yes” shaking my head lightly “just say no comment, fuck them. I promise you now I would never keep Rihanna away from her family, they are so fucked up for that! Dragging my name in bullshit like that” slapping the steering wheel “just say no comment please, I am so angry. Thank you for letting me know” they really about to do this with me, fucking assholes.

Placing my phone in my side panel shaking my head “I am so fucking angry Robyn, not at you though” turning off as I sped off “what happened? Don’t go speeding now just because you’re angry” Robyn placed her hand on my arm, slowing down my speed and parking up “your family dragging my name through shit, telling people I am keeping you away from them? They fucking know people hate me, they know your side fucking hate me and they are doing me like this! They are talking to the blogs, telling them I won’t let them see you” Mel poked her head from the backseat “you being real!? Her family have never done such a thing, we are very private” I snorted “sure! But when it comes to me they not, I swear if I get kidnapping charges because of you, I am concerned they about to get the police on me” Robyn stared at me in silence “I am sorry Chris, I will speak to them” Mel moved back “nah, fuck that Robz. I will do it, Chris don’t worry about it. That is total bullshit!” can never win with these people.

The thought of police coming to Robyn’ home and saying that I kidnapped her, it is kind of funny but then again it’s not. I already have a terrible record, I do not need it and I don’t need her people to hate me more “are you angry with me?” Robyn questioned, breaking the silence in the car “I am not angry with you, trust me. I am more upset, I just need to get out of this country. I wish you came with me but you’re being mad stubborn. You know I can’t be around for you, it will take me a whole ass day to get back to you” I am sick with worry “I know” she said in a whisper “just come with me Robyn! Why don’t you listen to me, I swear if you call me talking stupid. If I am with females don’t assume shit” I will flip a table if she comes at me wrong like I am cheating on her “oh Chris, I don’t mean to break it to you. Your ex chick is in Australia too” Mel said in the back, looking in the rear view mirror “don’t lie” I said, Mel shook her head “dead ass, I wasn’t snooping but. I have a certain friend on Instagram that are friends with her, she came up on my feed. She took a selfie with a Kangaroo” that helps a lot, rubbing my face. I really don’t want to see the look on Robyn’ face right now, I know she is going to be sad as hell.

Unbuckling a sleeping Liana out of her car seat, Robyn banged my car door shut “you know what, I am about sick of your family! First your brother fucked my car up and now you! Stop this shit, honestly” Robyn stormed off, she is so childish “what am I going to do with your mother” picking Liana out of her seat, placing her over my shoulder “when is your people going to pick you up?” Mel asked, closing my car door “erm, soon. They are desperate to get me out of here. Anyways, what else has Ava been posting, I know you been snooping” I want to know what she is doing and why she is even in Australia “she still has the pictures of you and her together you know, just she is there for a break away with some other girls” rolling my eyes, I bet it’s with the same bitches I done fucked with in an orgy “what was that face for Mr Brown?” Mel done caught me out “uhh nothing, just I know what Robyn is thinking right now” Mel skipped ahead of me and stepped in front of me, stopping me in my tracks “yes?” I said with a smirk on my face “tell me the truth” sighing out “just the chicks she is with, I know them. I fucked with them in an orgy and I just think she is a dumbass for hanging with them, that is it” Mel gave me a disapproving look “I don’t know why you men have these orgies, nasty asses” she waved me off.

Dapping Mijo “you still here nigga! Thought you left” I honestly thought he would have left “I thought I would see the family” leaning back against the kitchen counter “you’re not missing much, Robyn is not talking to me and Mel thinks I am a nasty nigga for having an orgy” I shrugged “having a what?” Robyn spat, I jumped up “having an organic fruit” flowed out of my mouth “sure it was” she scared me, came out of nowhere. Turning around, my eyes fell on Mijo, he was staring at Robyn in sadness. Hitting his arm “what?” he said, eyeballing him “it’s nice to see you Mijo, thank you for being here and waiting with the cleaners” he needs to not act different with Robyn “uh, no problem. Anything you need?” this nigga is awful “no, I am good thanks” watching on as Robyn looked at the potato chips and then placed them back “you not eating?” I asked “what are you? My father” she spat walking off “I feel like it” I retorted “go back to your orgy” she said back “damn” Mijo said at the side of me, I am in the dog house for Ava being in Australia.

Mijo and Mel always have awkward conversations, there is so much history between them both “did Mel tell you? She has turned lesbian” intervening into the conversation “she likes licking the P?” Mijo spat “do I really Chris?” Mel squinted her eyes at me “I mean who else is giving you the D little Miss Forde? Or are y’all both fucking each other?” pointing at both Mijo and Mel “it’s actually one of your OHB niggas, how would you feel huh Chris? One of those guys that be with you is with me” Mel said smirking, staring at Mel not knowing if she is playing around “look at his face, just thinking. Don’t worry about me though Chris, I always get serviced” my eyes widened, holding my hands “I didn’t say anything, I was just being nosey. Tell me who it is though?” Mel shook her head “he is a man, that is all” tilting my head a little “more of a man than Mijo?” Mijo kissed his teeth “man, fuck you” busting out laughing.

Staring at my phone, wondering if I should call my mom or just air it out on Instagram. I won’t have them disrespect Chris, I mean they have done it for the whole world to read. Chris don’t deserve this, I don’t deserve Chris either. You know what I am just going to air it out in a post, I can’t have them doing this to him. Tapping on Instagram and the first thing I see is BallerAlert talking mad shit about Chris, this is what I didn’t want. Not like I haven’t been through shit already and they are now doing this, tapping on the comment tab. Taking in a deep breath before I started ‘I don’t really do this but all this negativity aimed at Chris is so wrong, he did not do what my family claim he has done. Yes we are together but this has nothing to do with anyone, we don’t care for public acceptance either. And trust me, I am here all up under Chris because I want too, no forced shit’ pressing send, I don’t want anyone saying anything mean to him.

I think I need to stop being so damn clingy, I need to let Chris go. Look at me, I never used to be like this, now I am some weak bitch hiding behind Chris but I can’t do this, I can’t go out there. The name alone gets to me, I need to talk to Cassandra again. Picking my phone up but then seeing my mom’ name on the screen just calling me, picking the phone up “oh Robz!” my mom said down the phone, I didn’t speak a word “baby I am so sorry” my mom cried out, a tear fell hearing my mom cry “oh my baby, my beautiful daughter. I am so sorry please don’t shut me out, I am sorry. I know you are hurting, I never meant for this to happen, I want to take the pain away from you. Men are evil” placing my hand over my mouth, trying not to cry out loud. Swallowing back the sob that wanted to leave my mouth, wiping the tears “stop talking about Chris, stop making him out to be a bad man. You don’t understand what I go through, I am here for him. Not even you could make me be here. Stop this” my voice broke “you don’t know the battle I go through mom, just leave me alone” disconnecting the call and dropping the phone to the side of me.

Looking at my watch, Robyn has not yet come down. Liana has even had her nap and is ready for a party “I should check on her, leave you both to flirt” getting up from the couch “oh grow up!” Mel spat “nobody is flirting. We have grown up from that now” these two will always be flirting, walking out of the living room. I do feel like I need to force Robyn to just come with me, but I can’t force her, she made her decision. Jogging up the steps, I hope she is ok. I just worry about her, she doesn’t bother with Liana either. I do not know what to do anymore, my mind is everywhere. Placing my hand over the door handle, I was about to open the door until I heard Robyn speaking. Placing my ear against the door “I feel numb again Cassandra, my mind keeps replaying that moment. I just can’t deal with my own daughter, I don’t know why. I know I should be doing more but I can’t, I don’t want to be speaking to Chris about what happened all the time. He shouldn’t hear it” moving my hand back from the door handle, I should walk in but I want to hear “I don’t remember how I got back to how I was, you know that strong Rihanna, all I know that Chris was with me every day, yeah like you said nurtured me. I don’t know Cassandra, I just can’t sometimes digest how stupid I am, how I went there with him. How I laid there, I allowed him to use me, this what makes me feel sick every waking morning” moving my head back, clenching my jaw. This is what I hate hearing.

Opening the door, making my way inside “I will call you back later” Robyn has been crying, on her own too. She placed the phone down at the side of her, climbing off the bed. Noticing where she is going, I sprinted across the room and stood in her way “where you going?” she stepped to the left and so did I “you not running away from me, stop pushing me away. Stop hating me Robyn” I feel it from her, she hit my chest “leave me alone, just go” she said, I know she don’t mean it at all “go where when this is my home, with you. You’re acting mad different with me, what is wrong” Robyn turned around walking off “you know what, I will cancel this stupid fucking tour. I am sick of having that shit hanging over me, I want my family fine first” getting my phone out from my pocket “no! Don’t you dare do that, don’t please” Robyn snatched my phone from my hand “I don’t want you to do that! Please no” staring at Robyn wanting answers “then you going to talk to me? You either talk to me or I am just going to make you come with me. Guilt trip you so you have to come” I am not even joking because I will do that.

Robyn passed my phone back “if I hang on to you Chris then I will forever be doing that, I rather you just go. I will live, I will hopefully get better” is she being real “so what does your heart want? I know what it really wants, fuck everything else. Forget your record label, I know they are bugging you” Robyn shook her head, scrunching her face up “don’t do this” she knows I am right, she wants me, she wants to come with me “ok fine, you do what you think is right for you” she wants to stay then what can I say, I can’t really push her on it “just remember to be strong if you’re going to stay behind, you need to be here for our daughter. She needs you” I am slightly disappointed that Robyn is not even attempting to come “you believe me don’t you?” she said, rubbing the side of my face “I do, but I also want you to be open with me. I know you don’t like speaking about that night with me but I am here. I am your husband, your go to guy. Pains me that I can’t even be that, to know you’re like this. Just please take care of yourself” what more can I say.

“Your mom is here” Mijo announced, moving off the bar stool. She took her time, I missed her actually “gamma!!” Liana screamed, jogging towards the lobby “my grandbaby, look at you princess” smiling from ear to ear watching my mom hug Liana “I see you bought the whole house with you” I pointed, so many bags and a suitcase “will I was shocked, I will do anything to be with my grandbaby” hugging my mom, pressing a kiss to my cheek “good, I am glad you could come” a knock at the door “who is that, who dropped you off?” I asked my mom “I came in a cab baby” moving back from my mom, she stepped to the side “hello Melissa” hearing my mom say as I opened the door “let’s go nigga!” Lo spat, looking behind him and seeing the SUV “already?” I said, he chuckled “unless you cancelling on us again?” shaking my head “nah, I guess it’s time” it’s full steam ahead now, the tour is on.

I have to redo all my goodbyes now “take care of my babies ok” squeezing my mom close “babies?” she half shouted in my ear “yeah, Robyn and Liana” I chuckled moving back, pressing a kiss to her cheek “I got you, take care my handsome son” waving my mom off chuckling “oh stop it, making me blush now” Liana jumped up with her arms up “my little lady, I am going to miss you. Send me lots of pictures to me, call me. I will be thinking of you and counting down the days till I see your beautiful face, my mini me” squeezing Liana close, feeling her press a kiss to my head “stop it daddy!” she yelped “no, I can’t stop loving you” grinning as I moved my head back “silly” placing her little hands on my cheeks “you silly butt” moving my head to the side as I lightly bit her ear, Liana screamed slapping my face away.

Placing Liana down on the ground “take care of yourself, call me if you need anything” dapping Mijo “thank you bro” Robyn finally made her way down the steps with Mel behind her, she took her time to come down “take your time” I said as I opened the door, Robyn stopped walking, she stood staring at my face “don’t give me that face” shuffling closer to her, Robyn looked down as her lower lip quivered. Wrapping my arms around her “I told you, you’re so hard headed” holding Robyn close to me “I am going to miss you so much, I am going to miss you clinging to me. All I am going think about on that stage is you, you better keep in contact with me” she lazily held on to my waist “kills me you’re going to be so far away from me” she said, closing my eyes sighing out “remember to call me, whenever you want and you can come to me, if you need too” I wish she just came with me “I have no one to hold now” Robyn sobbed out, looking up at everyone just staring.

Moving back slowly with Robyn still attached to me “time to let go now, I will be back before you know it” rubbing her back lightly, my mom looks so confused on why she is being like this “I love you so much, be good now. Can’t wait to marry you” feeling Robyn move her arms away from me, she wiped the tears away “I can’t wait for you to come back already, I love you so much Chris. You been my rock, I just need to be strong on my own. I will be good Chris, I love you. Just text me every moment” leaning down kissing Robyn’ cheek, she moved her face to the side so I kissed her lips “I love you too, I love you to the moon and back. I got you ok” I said against her lips, Robyn pressed a kiss to my lips sobbing out crying. Moving back “I love y’all, thank you for staying behind mom. I know you was meant to come” Robyn held on to my hand “I love you baby” kissing the back of her hand “bye y’all” tugging my hand away, I need to go or I will be stood here for longer.
