PAC: May 2024 Predictions
Hello beautiful people! Later on this week, I will have a Five Dollar Friday Sale where any topic can be talked about. Please refer to my guidelines if you are interested in booking with me! Today, I will be giving you all some predictions about the upcoming month. I hope that those who resonate will continue to support me. For those of you who have been supporting me, I thank you. Without further ado, please select the quote that resonates with you.
Left-to-Right: (1-3)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pile One: I am getting Taurus energy from this pile. I feel like you are going to be walking away from a situation that no longer serves you in May. It's going to hurt. But on the bright side, at least you are done with that chapter in your life. I feel like you are inviting new energy into your life though. It feels lively. I think that you need to be careful though if you go out to a hookah bar, or just go out into the nightlife in general. I am seeing that you will be going to a cookout. I am seeing the image of a thermometer's heat rising. I feel like you may have tension with someone that's super thick, lol. All in all, I feel that this month for you will determine the theme of this summer for you all. You got your wings, you've been promoted! It may be hard to focus on the positives because of your circumstances but you will survive. This month will feel weird because it’s like your on two ends of the spectrum. One part is good and the other is gone to shit, but all will work in your favor boo! See the good in life.
Cards Used: Page of Cups, Queen of Discs, Ace of Cups, 5 of Discs, The World, 10 of Swords, Justice.
extras: arrogance. cheap labor. pennyslvania. slabs. coney island. sweet! livelihood. perfume. body shapewear. antisocial club.
Pile Two: Idk why but your energy reminds me of Natalie Nunn lol. Not the messy parts but the part about her where she's unintentionally funny and fun to be around. Your energy feels very much party girl, I could easily get in this section if I wanted to type of vibe. Anyway, I think that you are going to be strengthening some platonic connections that you already have. But I also think that you're going to cut someone loose --- someone who has been around for a while. The name Harold comes to mind. Have you eaten Harold's Chicken as of recently, lol? I think that you're going to have sharper instincts as a result. You're going to see people for who they are. I am seeing the image of a butterfly flying on someone's nose. You will be growing up in the month of May. There is an emphasis on meditation. You're being called to devoting your time to staying in the present. You're being asked to go within and get more introspective. Also, cut back on the refined sugars. I think you'll be listening to Amaraae and Solange more often this month as well.
Cards Used: King of Cups, 3 of Cups, Strength, Death, King of Swords, The Hermit, Prince of Discs, 2 of Swords, The Lovers.
extras: big eyes. blonde hair. shapely. wiz khalifa. stunna shades. "i ain't going nowhere." "get comfy." gloomy. rainbow tips.
Pile Three: Someone in this pile is going to be reuniting with their family at a prom sendoff, at a graduation, a party. Either way, it will be a celebration. This pile will also be very grateful in the month of May. You are also going to have many opportunities to make quick money with the people that you love (not necessarily family but anyone that makes you feel safe). A love opportunity will be coming through for you as well. I don't see this as something you should take serious. I think you want to be independent right now, that person understands and they will give you your space for the time being. If you're trying to curate an event, don't worry too much about what people will think because it's going to be a big turnout regardless. I think some of you will be going to a wedding or will be getting married. So, congratulations to that! I also think that some of you will be meeting your future spouses in this pile (you won't know it yet though). Overall, I feel that this month is a great month for you to focus on community building.
Cards Used: The Emperor, The Hierophant, 9 of Swords, King of Wands, Justice, 3 of Discs, 8 of Wands, 4 of Wands, Ace of Cups.
extras: entrepreneurial spirit. aquamarine. blue butterflies. single father. "something cute, something for the summertime."

"uh-oh, I'm falling in love, oh no, I'm falling in love again"
summary: it's safe to say she wasn't expecting to fall in love so quickly after just ending a five-year relationship, but alex albon was just everything she needed without even realizing it
warning: overall fluff with a little hint of angst, rom-com vibes, brother's best friend, recent breakup, mentions of falling out of love with someone, reader's ex has a name (Harry), mentions of Alex breaking his collarbone when he was cycling with George (I still remember laughing so hard when I read about this lol), reader completely clueless that her feelings are reciprocated, big romantic gesture in the end, swearing
pairing: alex albon x russell!reader
word count: 3.9k
note: everything in bold are song references and in italic are thoughts, which includes memories from the past.
living for the rom-com content this week! haha, I hope everyone enjoys their daily dose of sweet, fluffy, perfect alex because he owns my heart and I'm always a sucker for the brother's best friend trope! haha

"It only hurts this much right now"
Was what I was thinkin' the whole time
Breathe in, breathe through, breathe deep, breathe out
I'll be gettin' over you my whole life
Having the painful realization that you fell out of love with someone you still adore immensely feels almost like losing touch with reality for a moment.
All of a sudden, your entire life changes.
You find yourself loving old memories more than the opportunity to create new ones. 
You feel afraid of leaving all the plans and all the dreams you spoke of fulfilling behind.
You realize you're trapped in the past, stuck in the old idea you still have preciously stored in your head of how they used to be.
Y/N felt like she was losing a part of herself now that Harry was gone.
It was five years together after all. Five years of ups and downs, of laughter and tears, of happiness and anger, of dreams and nightmares.
But as much as she tried to find the butterflies she felt at the beginning in every detail of him, when the young woman looked at her long-time partner she could only see traces of what they once were.
Stupidly, it hurt more that they'd broken up on nice terms. Maybe if they'd had a dramatic, fiery ending she'd have had an easier time moving on.
But fuck, he was still one of the best people she'd ever met. Things just weren't working anymore and their paths didn't seem to align anymore.
Y/N was more than convinced that she would be getting over him her whole life.
At that point, her only source of sanity was her brother's unconditional support. Well... Sanity might have been a strong term.
George had become a true helicopter brother, constantly glued to her side, even if it meant dragging her around the world with him.
It had been a month since Y/N and Harry had been separated and the girl had managed to cross three continents in that time. What a fancy way to deal with heartbreak.
But in one of the few moments when the younger Russell managed to escape her sibling's watchful eyes, Y/N found herself with tears in her eyes, her heart shattered on the floor and her head spinning.
As much as she tried to suppress the sobs that were coming out of her mouth, her cries did not go unnoticed by the attentive ears of the Thai driver who passed by the Mercedes motorhome on his way to visit his best friend.
You know how scared I am of elevators
Never trust it if it rises fast
It can't last
Taking a detour from his previously planned route, Alex carefully approached the crying girl, placing a hand on her forearm which made her turn towards him abruptly.
He felt a tightness in his chest as soon as he saw her smudged, red eyes. "Hey little Russ, are you okay?"
Y/N quickly wiped her eyes with the back of her black long sleeve, putting on a forced smile. "Alex, hey! Oh, it's nothing, I'm okay. Don't worry."
"You were always a terrible liar, you know that?" The boy leaned against the wall, his eyes still fixed on hers. "You can talk to me, Y/N. I promise I'll take your secrets to the grave. Scout's honour!"
The young woman laughed. She knew that the driver was someone she could trust. After all, he had been a constant presence in her life for many years now through George, even if she was never that close to him.
"It's so... Stupid, I feel ridiculous." She confessed, looking up at the open sky and letting out a sad sigh. "Harry is seeing someone new."
"Harry as in your bore of an ex Harry?" She rolled her eyes but nodded yes. "Damn, already? Do you think... Do you think he was already seeing her before you split?"
"No, he wouldn't." The girl spoke. "The thing is neither of us was happy in that relationship, and I know we made the right choice, but... It doesn't hurt any less to see the person who was with you for years move on."
Not knowing exactly what moved him to do so, Alex let his hand run along her soft hair in an act of comfort. Y/N found herself feeling a familiar feeling in her stomach, although she wasn't sure what it was.
"Look, don't waste your time dwelling on that." The driver said as he continued to play with the ends of her locks. "I'm sure that someday he won't be more than a distant memory and that you have a bright future waiting for you with someone who makes you feel like the best version of yourself."
"Alex Albon, what an amazing motivational speech, who knew you were so poetic!" She made him laugh and then hugged him from the side, resting her face on his arm. "But really, thank you. I needed this."
"Anytime, little Russ." He rested his face on the top of her head momentarily, only to push away almost immediately. "So, ready to see your brother get his ass kicked today?"
Y/N felt her palms sweat as she walked next to the boy on their way to her brother, still confused about the sudden effect Thai had on her.
It's just a moment of weakness, it won't last, she tried to convince herself, he's your brother's best friend for God's sake.
Uh-oh, I'm fallin' in love
Oh no, I'm fallin' in love again
Oh, I'm fallin' in love
I thought the plane was goin' down
How'd you turn it right around?
From that moment on, and for some reason mysterious to both of them, they seemed to seek each other out whenever the occasion presented itself.
Y/N would purposefully extend her path to Mercedes on race days in hopes of passing Alex by Williams to wish him luck.
And boy, if Alex didn't make an effort to spend as much time outside the motorhome as possible praying that the girl who he couldn't get out of his head would show up, even if she always had George next to her.
In the middle of all their yearning, the two had started an unspoken tradition during the weeks that followed, which made them feel all warm and fuzzy inside in true puppy love fashion.
On another Sunday like all the others, Alex was lost in conversation with Lando in front of his team's motorhome when - to his shock - he saw the girl about to pass by him... Alone?
Leaving his friend behind with just a few words and a confused look on the British driver's face, Alex hurried over to her, putting his arm around the girl's shoulders.
"Well, well, well... What do we have here? A rare sight of Y/N without her bodyguard?" He spoke with a mischievous smirk.
"Yeah, looks like I got left behind today." Y/N chuckled, eyes twinkling in his direction.
"I never seem to get you alone around these parts. Is Georgie really that controlling?" Alex laughed, knowing full well that his friend had always been very protective of his sister. 
Yikes, if he only knew the way his best friend thought about her now.
"So you wanted to get me alone, unh?" Y/N teased the man, without controlling the flirtatious energy with which her question came out of her mouth.
Alex was taken aback but didn't hesitate to respond with the same tone. "And what if I wanted to?"
"Didn't know you were such a flirt, Albon!" She said, teasingly. "My brother, on the other hand, might not be very happy that his best friend is trying to make a move on his baby sister." The girl stated with a serious look, although her mouth still revealed a smirk.
"He doesn't need to know." The driver said as he started walking back to the building, but not before turning to her again and speaking. "If you don't have plans tonight, let's do something. What do you say?"
"I'll think about it." She said, grinning from ear to ear. "Good luck, lover boy."
Uh-oh, I'm falling in love, she realized as her heart pounded in her chest.
It only feels this raw right now
Lost in the labyrinth of my mind
Break up, break free, break through, break down
You would break your back to make me break a smile
Y/N really thought of not going. 
It would've spared her the inevitable heartbreak she was going to go through when her brother eventually found out that she had feelings for Alex.
But on the spur of the moment, the young woman chose to worry about her fears later and take her chances, as she stormed out of her hotel room towards the driver's.
Y/N knocked on his door nervously and it only took a few seconds for Alex to show up, with only his shorts on, his hair dishevelled and his toned chest on full display.
"Y/N, you came," he said, an obviously surprised look on his face. "I thought you had bailed."
Oh great, he has someone in there with him, she thought as soon as she saw the strands of his golden hair all tousled. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you had company. I'm going to g-"
"What?" He asked lost until he realized the state he was in. "Oh no, no, no! I ended up falling asleep when I realized you weren't com- Or rather when I thought you weren't coming. Please, come in."
The girl entered the room, studying her surroundings while Alex put on a sweatshirt.
"I honestly had lost all hope that you were going to show up," He chuckled timidly. "But I'm so glad you proved me wrong."
After some discussion, the two ended up settling on ordering room service and rewatching The Office - obsessed with the show they had seen it dozens of times over the years - while they ate their late dinner sitting on his giant bed and talked to each other about everything.
"Why did you guys go cycling into the middle of the forest... If the brakes on the fucking bike didn't work?" Tears were now streaming down the girl's eyes, she was laughing so hard at the story Alex was telling her.
"Hey, stop laughing! I broke my collarbone!" The driver already felt stomach pains from laughing so hard and he pushed her until she fell backwards onto the mattress. "And you should know I saved your brother's ass! I gave him the good bike and that's how the universe thanked me!"
"Stop, stop!" She remained laying on the bed, arms hugging her stomach. "I can't laugh anymore or I swear I'll pass out."
Lying down next to her, Alex looked at the girl with passionate eyes. "I'm glad me breaking a bone at least made you break a smile."
At that moment, lost in his gaze, Y/N knew she was in too deep and there was no way back.
You know how much I hate
That everybody just expects me to bounce back
Just like that
Now that the two had already crossed the line and they had spent time one on one, the two friends - or so they liked to call themselves, their feelings still hidden from both parties - were inseparable.
Whenever they could they found themselves together: whether it was within four walls late at night just enjoying each other's company, or exploring cities around the world after getting rid of George with a lame excuse.
So, when Y/N received a message from the driver inviting her to dinner, she wasn't surprised or questioned anything.
It was at a restaurant where the two had already been several times in Monaco along with other friends, so the girl just assumed that the same would happen this time around too.
However, hours later, when she questioned George about his plans for that evening - convinced that her question would spark a debate about rides to the restaurant - the words that came out of his mouth quickly made her realize that she had the wrong idea all along.
"I'll probably just stay home and play with the boys. Well, other than Alex, apparently he has a hot date today with some girl he's been all mysterious about."
A d- d- date. Was this supposed to be a date?!
"Oh." She felt her face go white in shock, something that thankfully went unnoticed by her brother as he was glued to his phone. "I- I'll be right back."
The girl ran upstairs to her room and grabbed her cell phone to reread Alex's message.
From: lover boy
what do you think about dinner with your favourite guy tonight at blue bay, 7pm? 👀 
All of a sudden, her palms got sweaty, her heart rate started to increase, and she started to feel apprehensive.
Of course, she had already come to terms with the fact that she had feelings for him but him liking her back?
Surely it was nothing more than a misunderstanding and tonight was nothing more than a dinner between friends.
Uh-oh, I'm fallin' in love
Oh no, I'm fallin' in love again
Oh, I'm fallin' in love
I thought the plane was goin' down
How'd you turn it right around?
The hours passed and she found herself dolled up in a simple long blue dress on her way to where Alex was waiting for her completely alone and more beautiful than ever.
It was a date, there was no question about it.
Alex held out his hand for her to help her out of the taxi and kept it in Y/N's as he looked at her in astonishment. "Jesus, you- You look... Incredible. Fucking incredible really. Shall we go in, little Russ?"
With the simple use of the nickname he always used, Y/N closed herself within her walls as she remembered how wrong she was for going after Alex on her brother's back.
And with that remembrance alone, the date was already ruined before it even started.
For a couple of hours, the two sat at a glamorous table making small, forced talk. Even Alex gave up trying to keep the conversation going when he realized she wasn't feeling it.
The driver felt like the dumbest person on the planet at that moment: not only had he broken his best friend's trust, but he had done it just to have his heart broken in the end.
The silence continued on the ride home, with Alex offering to drive her back like a true gentleman even after the whole dinner fiasco. After a few torturous minutes, he stopped the car and she put her hand on the door handle so fast his heart only shattered more.
"Well, thanks for dinner." She said, her eyes glued to her lap afraid to face him. "I- I'll see you soon, good night."
Alex saw her get out of his Mercedes but unable to accept that this was it, the driver jumped out of the driver's seat towards her. "Wait!"
The girl turned back, coming face to face with the dishevelled image of the boy rushing towards her.
"What went wrong tonight?" Alex asked distraught, letting his hand run through his hair. "I thought I was pretty clear that I cared a lot about you. Hell, I thought you felt the same way. Did I misunderstand things between us that badly all these months we spent together?"
Oh no, I'm falling in love again, she thought to herself and dread filled her from top to bottom like a shiver.
"I'm sorry, Alex," She said, still unable to look at him, especially now that tears were threatening to fall from her eyes. "But I just can't do this right now."
And without even answering, Alex simply walked away.
Uh-oh, I'm fallin' in love
Oh no, I'm fallin' in love again
Oh, I'm fallin' in love
I thought the plane was goin' down
How'd you turn it right around?
After spending months on end talking every day, it all became radio silent.
Y/N couldn't help but blame herself for ending up hurt. He'd put his heart on the line and confronted the undeniable feelings between them, only for her to let fear drive her and ruin everything.
She was the only one responsible for the sudden lump she felt in her throat, for the heaviness of her heart and for the wave of sadness that hit her.
It only got worse when a week later she saw his misery-written face on yet another race weekend, as she got choked with tears, thanks to the painful distance now set between them.
One week turned into two and those feelings of hopelessness and melancholy were still in the air, something that did not escape George's watchful eye.
Taking his place on the sofa next to the girl wrapped in a blanket drinking tea, the elder Russell sat down without much care and let out an exhausted sigh.
"Crikey, what's up with everyone? I swear you've all been in a bad mood lately." He said, without getting a response back. "Did you and Alex plan to get all depressed together or something? Jesus."
The girl gulped at 'her and Alex' and 'together' being in the same sentence, as she tried to keep her concentration on the movie that was on TV.
"He's been all upset since he went on that date I told you about. Apparently, it was a complete failure and now I'll never know who the girl was." George laughed, shaking his head. "I never understood the secrecy. It's not like he went out with you or som-"
Unconsciously, Y/N turned her face towards the large glass window embarrassed but quickly realized that her reaction had given her away.
"Oh, my God," George spoke slowly, trying to accept what he had just realized. "It was you?"
"It doesn't matter now." She finally seemed to get her voice back. "It was a silly decision but it's over anyways."
"What happened?"
"It's over, I told you. I never should have even developed feelings for him." Y/N looked into her brother's eyes, tears forming. "I knew he was your best friend and I still didn't put a stop to things. I'm so so sorry, G."
"Y/N…" The driver leaned against the back of the sofa and brought his hand to his forehead. "Please tell me you didn't break his heart because you thought I would be bothered by you guys going out."
Uh-oh, I'm fallin' in love
Oh no, I'm fallin' in love again
Oh, I'm fallin' in love
I thought the plane was goin' down
How'd you turn it right around?
"Just now you were saying the only reason he should hide a date is if he was going to go out with me!" The girl's voice rose. "Of course, I had to put a stop to it before things went too far!"
"I said it was the only reason he WOULDN'T tell me, not that he SHOULD hide it!" Her brother screamed along with her.
The two sat silently contemplating each other's words until George spoke. "Little sis, I'm sorry to break it to you but I think things have gone too far just by looking at your broken faces these past days."
Oh, he's right, I'm definitely falling in love, she finally accepted.
"Alex is one of the best people I know and I trust him with my life. I couldn't ask for a better person to be by my sister's side if you guys love each other." The man said, his hands resting on each of her shoulders. "Go for it and get him back."
Uh-oh, I'm fallin' in love
Oh no, I'm fallin' in love again
Oh, I'm fallin' in love
Speeding as if her life depended on it, Y/N reached the house of the boy who had her heart and knocked incessantly on his door.
"Calm down, who the f-" Alex opened the door, ready to argue with the person on the other side until he realized it was her. "Y/N."
"Before you send me away, please listen to what I have to say." Y/N pleaded while Alex observed the girl. 
She was in his doorway, still wearing her pyjamas, fluffy pink slippers on her feet, with a beanie and a scarf that she at least remembered to grab on her way out or she wouldn't have survived the cold.
"I was a complete idiot for letting you go that night. What I should have done was run after you, begged for a second chance and told you that I'm falling for you and have been since the day you found me crying in the back of that motorhome."
"I was at my worst and you still managed to put me back together and turn it right around. You are literally the man of my dreams. You have everything I want and need in a partner, and I never should have let this drag on for so long in the first place. So please, give me a chance to show you how happy and great we can be together."
The two seemed frozen at the moment, with their hearts on their sleeves and eyes filled with love and hope for a happy ending, until they heard someone from inside the house clearing their throat.
Turning to face his living room, Y/N now noticed the group of drivers - and unfortunately friends of her brother as well - with sly smiles on their faces. "Oh God, please kill me now."
"It was quite the speech, Russell, but maybe we should go." Lando spoke, grinning at the girl, as he, Charles, Pierre and Carlos left the apartment.
"I will never show my face in the paddock again." She said to Alex, covering her face with her hands.
The Thai affectionately removed her hands, intertwining them with his, and approached her, with a smile the size of the world. "I don't know. I agree with Lando, it was quite the speech indeed."
Without thinking twice, and before he could change his mind, Y/N placed her lips on his in a kiss that both of them had been craving for months.
And the moment their mouths met, they both discovered what it was like to feel that one person was their home.
"What about George?" Alex questioned, pulling away slightly from her.
"He almost pushed me out of the house to come here and make things right." The girl laughed, circling the tall boy's waist with her arms.
"Well, little Russ, looks like I'm going to have to buy Georgie dinner as a 'thank you'." He chuckled, grateful for his best friend. "Or should I say, my future brother-in-law?"
"Calm down, lover boy. I've been here for a few minutes." They laughed together, wrapped up in each other. "We have all the time in the world to think about the future."
Sometimes it only takes one painful heartbreak to help us see we are worth so much more than we're settling for.
I thought the plane was goin' down
How'd you turn it right around?

I'll Be Your Whatever - Story Hiatus
Tumblr media
Description: Life is full of all sorts of characters - some who come and go, and others that stay. After propelling yourself into a lie you can't (won't) take back, a certain pirate captain may have a reason to come by more often. (Story tag)
Alrighty, I would very very much like to come back to this fic one day, but I truly do not know when that will happen. I think the outline I put together took away some of the drive to write the actual story, but I still want to SO BADLY.
So this story doesn't remain unfinished for however long, I'm going to share the outline I put together using beat sheets and story arcs.
Tag list: @rorywritesjunk @ane5e @venulus @misadventures0fdes You asked to be included in the tag list for the story, so I'm also tagging you here. I'm sorry for dropping the story and this hiatus, but I hope knowing that the ending exists brings some peace!
For reference: CB = Captain Buggy, MC = Main Character (aka, you, the reader!) WC: ~1.4k
As a recap of the story so far, MC tried to get 2 overly flirtatious guys off her back by saying a stranger passing by was her boyfriend. That stranger was Buggy, of course lol. Trying to stay low and play the part, MC and CB kiss. They joke about CB continuing to be a boyfriend and MC mentions having a treasure chest. A few days later, CB shows up at MCs place with flowers and saying he'll agree to be her boyfriend if she promises him the treasure map.
Chapter 4
They go on a mini date, as a way for them to talk about the agreement - they talk about the timeline and how long to "date." They decide to go get lunch.
Hot dog lunch. Hint at CBs favorite food.
CB blows kisses to MC while she’s in line.
Contract: 
Don’t tell the truth -  a deal’s a deal
MC pays for food
Compliments for Buggy
Hold hands
Kissing? We’ll figure it out if we need to
Buggy has to stop by whenever he’s in town
Buggy goes to the town festival - MC tries to convince CB to agree to go to a town festival in a few weeks or whatever, long enough for dudebros to lose interest. Offers a treasure map.
"If I’m being totally honest, that sounds like my worst nightmare."
MC stands up to someone who tries to insult Buggy’s nose. Fiery. They have to leave wherever they were. CB is impressed by her spunk.
B Story - CB inviting MC to visit the ship. 
At some point CB invites her, a shadow passes over her face, he asks if she really dislikes the idea that much.
MC feels stuck to the small town and guilt about her dad missing those kinds of experiences. She looks at Buggy's eyes and sees the draw of the ocean in them. Whatever enticed Buggy and her dad to love the sea, is reflected in his eyes.
Chapter 5
Fun and Games - coming to the weekend market
Oh yeah, no he said he wasn’t able to make it. But! CB shows up unexpectedly. YN blows him a kiss and he catches it.
CB gets into a scuffle at the weekend market.
Rowdy customer, "how about I pay you in kisses, pretty thing? No? Whatever, this shit isn’t even that good."
“no one gets to treat you like that, you hear me? no one.”
They eat fresh donuts, “oh you have to try these, they’re my favorite,” MC dabs some powdered sugar off the corner of his mouth.
Test of love trope! Conducted by a new jewelry shop. Start easy - eye color, fave food, feed each other, draw each other, blindfold and guess their partners hands, winners get matching bracelets. This is their first kiss.
CB putting the bracelet on MC "This means you’re mine. That’s what you wanted, right?" She gets A LOT of butterflies.
Walking back, the pictures they drew of each other blow away and fall into a tide pool. MC wading through water to get the drawings.
He made the day so special and she doesn’t want this to ruin it.
The drawing / picture she made isn’t that bad, he actually kinda likes it himself. So MC gives it to him. He becomes more enamored with it when she goes to save it from the water.
Nearby sailors / pirates laugh at MC in the water (lighthearted), she calls back that it’s not like they don’t get dirty treasure hunting.
CB gets butterflies from her insistence and calling the papers treasure.
Piggy back ride home? Slightly spicy. It was like their skin was calling out for the other's gentle touch.
Chapter 6
Fun and Games cont - MC said she would see CB off the next day but she doesn’t show up because she’s sick from the previous night.
CB comes by, sees that she’s okay but sick. 
He leaves for a moment and comes back with some stuff to help her feel better. He also postponed shipping off until the next day.
She bashfully asks if he’ll stay a little longer. He stays until she falls asleep.
MC calls him pretty boy and he hecking likes it.
She wakes up the next day to a note telling her that he won’t be in the area for a while.
Chapter 7
Mini scene, MC notices that the dudebros seem to have moved on. They asked for a double/triple date, but MC deflects bc who knows when CB will be in town.
MC mentions this to CB in passing.
Midpoint - Next time, MC visits CBs ship. It’s a good visit. Overall a positive experience. There is some real-ness to life aboard the ship.
Cabaji shows unicycling, meet Mohji and Richie, CB shows off knife throwing (maybe a contest between him and Cabaji, CB wins and Cabaji says at least he’s better at unicycling)
Buggy helps rig the new sails
Pirates swap stories. Talking about what it was like adjusting to life on the ship, but how amazing it is. All the sights and experiences. She has stars in her eyes while listening. Her mind sketching images of what’s being described. She’s even comfortable talking about her dad.
How do you tell your fake bf that you're nervous near him because you're starting to fall for him?
MC likes seeing CBs swagger and how his crew adores him. CB puts his hand on her shoulder and kneads.
She stays overnight (one bed), CB doesn’t sleep.
Chapter 8
Bad Guys Close In - As MC leaves, she’s accosted by pirate thugs, who notice she’s been hanging around CB.
Maybe they think she’s a sex worker? Sugar baby? She tries to say that’s not it, then they think she must be something more special. They could probably get a ransom.
Chop chop Buggy comes in to save the day. Or CB throws a knife, trapping them. CB walks her back home, tries to make it seem light hearted, doesn’t want MC to be too afraid.
MC is a bit unphased since pirates are always visiting.
MC kisses CB goodbye on the cheek. “Could you try that again?” “Better?” “Yeah…”
Chapter 9
All is Lost - Break up because CB is afraid MC will become a target. CB breaks up with YN, afraid of putting her in danger.
Even though CB dealt with those other pirates, that doesn’t mean there won’t be others 
He doesn’t want to put her in danger any longer. Besides, the guys she was avoiding seem to have moved on.
MC asks if he found someone else, something more fun, feels cruel because they don't really think that's what's happening.
I guess my expectations were too high.
Dark of the Night - MC storms back and hands off the map. "A deal’s a deal and I don’t want to be in debt to a pirate."
Wrapped around the map is her bracelet.
Chapter 10
Dark of the Night - Why does CB change his mind? - He reads a letter on the back of the map and realizes he should give it back to MC.
Break into Three - CB's waiting for her at the party. A deal’s a deal. He also gives back the map and leaves.
MC probably talking with the art shop owner:"He likes you, I can tell by how he looks at you." "How does he look at me?"
"You think he's really waiting for me?"
Finale - MC reads the note on the map and runs to the dock for CB. 
Note, from dad: “My dearest seashell, I thought being a pirate was how I could see the world, but then you came along and I saw the world through your eyes. Thank you for giving me the greatest gift anyone could ask for. I hope that one day, you find your key to the world.”
CBs not there? He’s by the wading pools, looking at the moon and drinking alone.
CB moping
How long do you think it’ll take for this to become a memory? Do you think you’ll forget about me?
They wanted to be touched, to be missed, to be loved. Was that too much to ask for?
He’s wearing both bracelets.
"Why did you come back?" "Because that belongs to you, it has your name on it."
"Bullshit, Buggy. You’re a pirate. A treasure hunter. Why did you really come back?"
"Why do you think?"
"You actually wanted to go to the festival?"
"That’s not what I want."
Anguished declaration of love - confessing love during a moment of angst
"I don’t want to stay here anymore. I want to leave. I want to draw the world you see."
MC is steadfast and waits for Buggy to respond. “I want that too.”
Big romantic kiss
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Do you want to?"
"Yes, you have no idea how much I've thought about this."

can you Write a scenario in demon slayer on how each character would react if y/n had the ability to use her rare blood type to fully turn anyone back to human. How would each hashira react in this situation at the hashira meeting by ubuyashiki. And what would be there plans be for her? This is also including muzan as at some point a demon will report of this new finding.
Alright! This is the first kind of ask I've received like this. I'm not sure how well it's going to go, lol, but I'm going to do my best! Thanks for asking and I hope you like it! (I haven't written for them in a while so please lmk what you think)
Rating: T Pairings: None (mention of canon pairings) Warnings: Death threats (from Muzan), slight swearing. Suggested consensual experimentation? Unbeta'd Also, there are references to canon backstories but no major details
Before the Meeting:
You stand to the side, waiting. 
You hadn’t entirely planned for your ability to be revealed, you didn’t even know it existed until the attack, but after the demon and its sudden and confusing transformation, you couldn’t ignore what happened. You couldn’t ignore that they needed help. 
One of the demon slayers who found you in the aftermath brought you to meet the Ubuyashiki family and the leader of the Slayers. In that meeting, you learned everything and he reveals to you that you had the potential to change the world in their favour. As terrifying as it is, you could save people. The Ubuyashiki’s look at you as if you’re a saviour. Honestly? You have no clue what you’re doing. 
That doesn’t stop him from calling a meeting of the Hashira, the strongest slayers of their time. If anyone is going to help you achieve this new goal of theirs, it’s them. So you wait, trying not to fidget in your nervousness as you feel their gazes on you before Ubuyashiki arrives.
The Reactions:
Tumblr media
Sanemi
It’s strange for them to be called this soon and he hasn’t taken his eyes off of you. You’re a stranger and despite knowing you could only be here with permission. He doesn’t trust it but he waits. He’ll hear it from the master himself. 
You’re introduced and honestly? He’s confused. It’s not possible. It shouldn’t be possible and if it was anyone except the Master, he wouldn’t believe it. He still doesn’t believe it. 
“Not that I am doubting you, Master,” he calls out. “But you can’t expect us to believe this without proof.” 
“Of course, I wouldn’t, my children, but I do ask that you trust me. Their abilities have been seen by multiple slayers in the incident it was revealed.” 
“Tch,” he mutters but he nods. 
It’s fine. He’ll keep an eye on them. Maybe if their blood actually works, they can get rid of Muzan and Genya will finally be fucking safe.
Tumblr media
Shinobu
Shinobu is aware of the stranger but isn’t concerned. You wouldn’t be here unless you served a purpose and when you’re finally introduced, she’s fascinated. 
There’s never been a recorded case of someone with the ability to transform a demon into a human, the complete opposite of Muzan and his creatures' abilities. It’s fascinating and the first thing she’s going to do once this meeting is over is make sure you return with her to the Butterfly Mansion. She needs to compare your blood to a regular human's and see if there is any difference. There has to be a way to measure the ability. 
She wonders if Wisteria would have any effect on you and she’s already calculating the tests she can do. As Master Ubuyashiki replies to Sanemi, it occurs to her…could your blood help him? Could it stop the illness or remove it completely? She needs to look into this. 
Tumblr media
Tengen
“How flashy!” 
Tengen has never heard of anything like your ability in his life, but he can’t wait to see it in action. He knows it’s bound to be spectacular. He can hear the way your heartbeat increases the longer you stand there under their speculative gazes and he offers his compliments in order to help ease the stress. It doesn’t seem to work but you nod back to him and smile. Rengoku’s additional praise seems to fluster you further under the attention. Tengen just laughs and tells his friend that the end might actually be in sight. 
He knows he’s not wrong. It would be an incredible thing to see and if it’s true, they need to keep you safe. Shinobu will likely figure out some plan to use your ability without putting you in danger and if they can completely eradicate the demons? It’ll be a flamboyant end. Perhaps then he can keep Hinata’s promise and get the chance to live with his wives in peace. The way they deserve. 
Tumblr media
Kyojuro
It’s unusual for a Hashira meeting to be called so soon. He can admit that his curiosity is piqued at your presence but he can wait until it’s satisfied. Whatever he was expecting, it is not the news that their master presented. An ability to transform a demon back into a human? It seems impossible but if that master agrees, he can only imagine the possibilities. The idea that Senjuro may not feel the need to follow him into this danger is enough to fuel his desire for this to be the truth. 
He is unashamed as he gazes at you, taking in your countenance and stance. You’re untrained. He can see it as clearly as he sees the determination in your eyes. It’s admirable. The path ahead of you will be dangerous but you are a spark of hope that he can fan into a blaze. You’re untrained but not for long. He’ll ensure you have the skill to survive. Whatever it takes.
Tumblr media
Giyuu
It seems like a dream when Master Ubuyashiki informs them of the reason for your presence. He’s not sure what’s more surprising. The news of your ability or the relief that sets in his chest at the fact that you can turn Nezuko back and save him and Master Urookodaki from needing to fulfill their promise. He doesn’t regret the choice he made but he wants to keep his Master from needing to keep it. 
He glances at you out of the corner of his eye and wonders how you came to be here. Who did you lose to find out you were capable of such things? Did you hold the same guilt he has about being too late? He hopes not. It may seem like a cruel thing for the world to give you this, but the potential is worth it. It has to be. He’ll help as much as he can.
Tumblr media
Muichiro
Muichiro is listening. He is. But he can’t help his thoughts from wandering as he processes the news. Were you like a demon? It sounds like a blood demon art but you’re standing in the sun so it can’t be that. Maybe something else? What else could do that? His gaze wanders to the clouds as he thinks. One of them looks like a rice ball. Or…a cat? 
The Master called them here because of you but you haven’t spoken. He’s not sure if it’s true or not but if that master says it is, it is. He can trust that. 
He continues listening, even as he decides that the cloud is more of a frog now.
Tumblr media
Obanai
His eyes narrow as he watches you. It seems convenient that you’ve emerged now. First the demon in a box and now this. It’s suspicious in his opinion. Still, he won’t go against Master Ubuyashiki’s orders. If he believes you can help, then Obanai will wait and see. He doesn't believe it, not until he sees it for himself, but he’ll let you be. 
That doesn’t mean that he won’t keep an eye on you though. He doesn’t trust you, no matter what the Master says. You’re a stranger and he wouldn’t be surprised if this was some elaborate trap. He knows you can’t always trust humans, even when you want to. So he’ll wait and he’ll make sure you don’t get the chance to spring the trap. He’ll keep his comrades safe. Especially Mitsuri. He already knows that she’s dying to meet you properly. He’ll be right there with her when she does. Just in case.
Tumblr media
Mitsuri
The news is a surprise, but Mitsuri can’t help but be excited! This was the best thing she’s heard. She loves being a demon slayer, and she loves her friends that she’s made but this could change everything! People would be saved! It’s the best thing she’s heard at one of these meetings, even with the last one where she met the adorable Tanjiro and his sister. The fact that you want to help? It’s wonderful. 
You look a little scared though and it’s enough to make her want to reach out and comfort you. It must be intimidating to be faced with them, even if Mitsuri knows they’re not scary. Not really. Still, she makes up her mind quickly. She’s going to properly introduce herself after the meeting. She’ll even drag Obanai with her. The three of you will be great friends, she just knows it!
Tumblr media
Gyomei
 He murmurs prayers at the news.  It’s fantastic but his heart can’t help but mourn for the tragedy you must have faced in your discovery. His eyes fill with tears that don’t hesitate to fall. It must have terrified you and to think, you have a bright soul that has still made the choice to help others. It’s commendable. It is tragic. And yet, he feels only hope as you are discussed. 
He doesn't know how it’s possible, but he prays and gives his thanks that they’ve found you. That they are given this chance to protect you as you help them save people. It is a worthwhile effort and one that he will not waste. He could not save the children under his protection and he holds no grudge against the choices that were made, but he will do better now. He will help you reach your potential and save all that you can. 
Plus!
Tumblr media
Muzan
When Muzan hears the news of you, he laughs. It cannot be real. There are none but him who can change a being into another. And yet…he feels the disconnection. He knows that he is losing demons as fast as he can replace them. It’s strange. They’re not dead, but they are gone. 
There are no recorded incidents about being able to turn demons into humans, but Muazn isn’t stupid. There were none that did the opposite before him. He sets out his demands, giving the orders to his Upper Moons. Bring you to him. He wants to see if it’s true and if it is? Well, he wants to see what else you’re capable of. Maybe you can do more. If your blood can turn a demon into a human, could a diluted form give him the ability to walk in the sun like he wants? Think of the possibilities. 
And if not? He’ll satisfy his curiosity and make sure to kill you himself.

your one of my favorite artists and i wanted to know if you have any tips for anyone who wants to makes drawings with colors like yours. the backgrounds are beautiful and i wish i could play with colors like that
AAAA Thank you so much Ruby 😭🫶🏻 it really means a lot.
Lots of typing below so I'll add a keep reading tab!
I did go in depth in a previous ask, where I also linked back to yet ANOTHER ask, lol. I definitely encourage you to give them a read if you'd like! :)
But of course I can definitely add some more tidbits!
Besides playing around with clip studio's built in features (tone curve, approximate color, gradient map, etc.) Taking inspiration from real life is one of my favorite things to do. ^^
In fact it's possibly one of the best places you can get color reference from, because how you interpret it is entirely up to you!
For example with the celestial crystalfly piece, I saw these flowers near a supermarket, and a really lovely color scheme near the end of a sunset. (Besides the fact that I was daydreaming about painting Lumine if she collected all of the elements FHAHDGSHA) I didn't actually color drop for this piece, because I wanted to treat it like a study, and I was painting the flowers from memory because I didn't have a picture of it them the time.  I stylized it in the end but was very pleased w the result. ^^
Tumblr media
And with this character design, I got color inspiration from a butterfly in a photography book that was on sale in Indigo.
Tumblr media
So generally my colors don't always come from nowhere!
Besides that for all pieces, I personally also like to plan colors during the sketch phase!
If you're like me and you used to follow the traditional sketch > lineart > color workflow, but once you got to the coloring part you'd get stuck, try it! Once you have a pose and character in mind, add some lighter base colors. As you work on rendering the piece, build up your base colors with darker colors (or lighter colors for things like accents and highlights)
Tumblr media
It's probably more suited to painterly styles, but I think you could definitely find a way to make it work if you prefer clean lineart. 
I hope this helps give you some jumping off points to think about!
Color is a bit of a hard area to give concrete guidance on because it almost goes hand in hand with style. You get more comfortable with it and find what works the more you practice.
And that's coming from someone who used to color/draw like this 8 years ago,,,,,
Tumblr media
so trust me. 😭

"Perhaps you've not known before - To need someone, and not be needed anymore"
- liana flores: papercut
.
Listen, the whole song itself fits him. (I'm talking about TMF Drew of course.) But this single line speaks so many volumes at once about his character, at least that's what it feels like to me.
Long ramble below.
.
"to need someone" - drew needs people in his life and he can't let go. As many other characters in the show. He will go to greater lengths to keep his loved ones always close to him. He may overburden Zoey with money and gifts and riches, and may even try and lie a little about the music club (in episode 9) so Jake wouldn't leave him for them permanently.
He needs them. He needed Zoey. He needed Jake. Or, at the very least, he couldn't bear the thought of losing them, and he did everything in his power to not let them go.
Or at least he tried.
But, what's a bit interesting to me at least, is that, while the whole season he was afraid of them leaving him, he ended up leaving them first. (At least in some way. I moreso am referring to when he found out they betrayed his trust and lied to him).
And it's even more interesting to see that Drew doesn't seem like he wants to be near them again. (Which, let me remind you - does not mean he doesn't love them anymore. In fact he would never be so hurt and felt so betrayed if he "didn't care about them".)
For the Gacha "Teeth" MEP, you might be aware that RosyClozy contributed herself. (You can find it on her ExtraRosy channel.)
For the MEP, and for the song, she chose Drew and Zoey.
The whole song itself is about manipulation, a disguise, distrust (which might've meant that Drew was sceptical of Zoey before their break-up), but that's not what I'm talking about.
In the MEP we can see them on a phone call, Zoey trying to apologize and get back with him, with a red string attached to both of them, a black butterfly passing by both of them, while Drew looks unsure, or even dead, or done. I don't know how to explain it.
Butterflies usually symbolize Change or Rebirth, and black can symbolize Death. So take what you will from that. (To me, it seems like their relationship Changed in the sense that it will never be the same, and their relationship is Dead. But that's just my own personal interpretation.)
What I'm trying to focus on is Drew's expression. I don't think he's going to get back with Zoey, although it's clear he was upset over her lies, over the break-up, and he didn't want to lose her, and you could even say he was afraid of losing her a bit (I'll get into that in a quick bit), he seems done with her.
Now, about Jake. (We got much more canon content to work with here.)
Drew, the whole show, was very obviously afraid of losing him. Was very obviously jealous of the attention he gave to the music club, instead of him. How close he got to them, and how little time he started spending with him. How he started lying more and more, and how much afterwards Drew realized how Jake was always lying to him (him pretending not to be a "music freak".) How Jake never "trusted him" in the first place (not enough to tell him the truth, at least).
(none of this is meant to bash on Jake lol I love him)
But, even after all that yearning, all those attempts of bringing him close to him again, all those angsty drew fan-edits, all those aus where the music club and the jomies become friends, comes the infamous Drake-up we're all very well aware of by now.
There's a lot to take from it. But I'm going to focus on this one single line that articulates my point directly.
"I'm done with you."
Just that. Plain and simple. He's done with him, and has no plans of making amends, of apologizing to, or forgiving him. He's just done. With him, and with any hopes of things being the same as they were. He realized how little he knew about him, and he himself said "Glad to know we were never friends anyway." (Or something akin to that, at least. I'm writing from memory here.) He felt betrayed, and he didn't want to deal with him anymore.
He needed them, yet they hurt him so much he left them first.
Yet, does that really mean he doesn't need them anymore? That he still doesn't yearn for Zoey and Jake? That he just "simply let go", and is on a healing journey?
Hell nah.
He still, deep inside, has not gotten over them... There's simply no way.
But I'm getting ahead of myself - onto the next lyric of the fricking song.
"and not be needed anymore."
Ohhhh boy. Where do I begin.
Ok, to put it out there quickly - Drew's love language is gifting. Giving money, items with high materialistic value. He does this to show other people he loves them, and by extension...
For them not to leave him. (This is more prevalent in him and Zoey's case.)
You see... Drew may, and this is technically but a theory, but he may believe that he has nothing to give if it weren't for the money he had, for the money his dad gives him.
And with this, with his parents high income, he suddenly, as a person, a friend and a lover, has Value and a Purpose - something others could rely uniquely on him.
He canonically gives this to his loved ones, such as Henriam, Zoey, Jake. This is shown by him handing out Gacha switches to the jomies in freshman year - (which he has likely done similiar things again) - and him constantly buying whatever Zoey asks him to buy, and by extension doing whatever the hell she wants. ("Anything for you, babe." (I cringed writing that ngl-)). Because he may have rather be used than left? Or not? Idk
Now, how he became such an insecure mess to the point where he possibly started thinking his money is what makes people love him in the first place, I do not know. Many people speculate his parents are oftentimes absent in his life, and in order to compensate for their lack of attention given to him, they overburden him with gifts instead - which makes a lot of sense for a lot of aspects in his character. Mayhaps, that's why he feels such an overwhelming urge to not let go of his loved ones - or to do anything in order to not let go off them - because that's where he got the most attention and love and care from. When Jake and Zoey started suspiciously not being in his life as much, and when they started paying less attention to him, he was immediately sceptical of this, and quickly grew jealous of the music club. Like, very quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if he was always this wary of the amount of attention a loved one gave him or not. I suppose, to an extent, it's simply strategic for him to do.
You could also say, in case his parents work a lot for the money to the point of being absent, that he may have internalized a sentiment of The Money They Receive being more important than Him, their Own Son. Because, if he mattered more, would they not pay attention to him as much?
However, those are all theories and speculation, and quite reaching too. But they make sense, if you really think about it, and squint your eyes in the right spots.
But that wasn't the only thing he was needed for.
Jake. Him again.
Drew was Jake's first friend. Ever since Drew reached out to him in freshmen year to become his friend, possibly after noticing his loneliness, Jake was no less than ecstatic. After all his loneliness, and years of torture and harassment, he was finally chosen by someone to be their friend, to be there for him. He was capable of starting all over, and finally find a friend that could accept him.
...except, he was never fully accepted, or at the very least never fully accepted, for he never opened up about his passions. He always felt insecure, especially when Drew and the others would bully the music club right in front of him. He knew he didn't quite belong, and he had to pretend he was someone who he wasn't, in order to be liked, in order to not be lonely anymore.
This is important.
Now, Drew was entirely unaware of this. He didn't know anything about his passion behind closed curtains. All he knew was that "people back in middle school didn't like him very much".
And we can see that Drew cared. He stood up to a "friend" who made Jake visibly insecure in front of him during freshmen year (ep9 - flashback at the start of the episode), and he stood up to him, and turned down his offer to play soccer with him afterwards, because he cared about Jake.
(the Reason it wasn't the same for the music club, is because of multitude of reasons, A, drew feeling lied to, B; drew being jealous, and probably more reasons beyond that.)
Either way, I am going off the rails here, so to speak. What I was trying to say, that Drew was an important part of Jake's life, and by extension, Jake needed him. And couldn't bear the thought of losing him either.
...yet, for reasons we are aware of, it wasn't perfect, and it never could be.
The dromies were never necessarily the "perfect" "option" for him. They were publicly against the Music Club, the very place Jake felt he belonged to. Jake knew (in his mind), that if he were to be honest, he would possibly not be accepted, and would be all alone again, and he couldn't let this happen to him.
And with that, Jake needed him. But Jake needed him, because, at the time, he had no one else.
Drew was the best "option", because he was the only option, by some logic.
.
In a way, and in a sense, Drew was needed. And I would be surprised if he were to lack acknowledgement of that. For his money, he was wanted and was needed - and while that was, quite frankly, and quite obviously, not what he wanted or needed out of any of his social relationships - it was what made him unique, separate, and wanted. And like I said, it was not just the money.
It was definitely not what he wanted. When he realized Zoey (supposedly) dated him just for his money - he immediately broke up with her, and was clearly shown to be upset.
For all the reasons he was needed, he has the people he loved most around him.
But as time would pass, the very thing that made him more loved than most would start to fade.
In Zoey's case. Oh boy.
Drew's suspicion over her started since episode 5, where he voiced his concerns over her not asking him to buy anything for her.
Which made him worry.
For one, the money he had, it was how he had shown love, and what made him "needed". If Zoey didn't want any of it, it would almost feel as if Zoey didn't want any of Drew. And that she didn't need him anymore, for whatever reason.
Had she not loved him no more? Had she found someone better to fulfill her needs?
He could only hope not.
Yet... Here we are, very well aware that Zoey has a... "Sugar-daddy", who's a college student, and is another reliable source for her money. I don't have much to elaborate on, and even if I did, it's not relevant to the topic at hand. The important thing that ties her into Drew's character, is that, in some form of way or another, she didn't "need" him anymore. Or she didn't want him.
(which you could argue is false. She clearly didn't want the break-up to happen. "Just... Please don't tell Drew about what you saw." That line sounded genuinely sad coming from her. As if she was worried beyond not being able to gold dig off of him. (I got this theory from @sobeksewerrat otherwise my stupid head would still think Zoey would never care about drew, yet here I am. I do think she cared about him, *AT LEAST* at one point.) Or how she canonically called back to him to apologize (see the Teeth MEP for reference), in hopes of getting back together with him. It could go beyond the reasons of "oh she just wanted his money". She already is dating that sugar-daddy. A small part of me thinks she still genuinely cares about him in some way. At least a bit. Idk.))
Because, If she *did* need or want him, she wouldn't date someone else behind his back, right?
And so, when drew realized he knew he wasn't wanted, (which reminds me of his lime in the TMF comic where he tells Hailey to "know where she's not wanted", which I feel like ties into this whole mess and maybe even his home life), what else would he do but cut ties with her.
I don't think there's much to solve here. I don't think there's much hope, and better yet, I do not find there to be a good reason for them getting back together, and the black butterfly especially makes me think their relationship really is over. Though that's just me. I may turn out to be entirely false, and by the end of the show they are happy together in a healthy relationship. Who knows what Chloe is planning?
I am running out of time and may rush the following statements to be said. I sincerely apologize for this.
Jake, oh Jake.
He needed him, and he sorta depended on him, for a long time. In his own words, "you guys were there for me when I had no one else! But...", clearly stating that they were practically all he had, until the music club.
Drew didn't know about Jake's passion for music. Or about the amount of bullying he had to endure for his passions. Or his liking to the music club dating back all the way to freshmen year. Or his insecurities, or how he felt unsafe around the dromies, for he was afraid they would not accept him.
Drew knew absolutely none of that.
(And I am not blaming Jake for not telling him. Jake had his own trauma that caused him to be extremely secretive with his true self, otherwise he would put himself in a very vulnerable position by outing himself as another "freak". I am not saying that it was OK for him to lie to Drew, but it explains him. His behaviour. )
So, just imagine Drew's surprise, after Jake decided to join the music club, the very group they themselves targeted. He was, of course, confused.
Jake would say, he's "doing it all for daisy, and he'll leave eventually".
Well, now we know that's not how it turned out.
And we know Drew didn't take this well.
But drew didn't exactly know how much the club meant to Jake. Jake finally felt safe to be himself, free of worries JDUDJDD, ajjdjeoa, free of fear of judgement. He was finally allowed to be, unabashedly, himself.
..which is sad to think about, how Drew accidentally made Jake feel unsafe all these years.
Jake finally realized; he had a place where he felt truly safe.
And that place was not around the Dromies.
And suddenly, it was almost as if Jake didn't... Need the dromies. He didn't need Drew anymore.
Not that he didn't care about drew, of course - but now, if Drew were to cease to exist, Jake would still have the club. He would not be all alone, like he used to.
Suddenly, Zoey didn't need Drew anymore. And now, not even Jake "needed" him, because he was not their only source of joy.
He was not needed anymore, yet he still needed them.
As he slowly starts realizing Jakes JDUDJD relationship with the club positively growing, he starts getting paid less attention. He grows suspicious.
Because if he's not needed no longer, why would anyone care about him? And if nobody cares about him, who would he have left? Who could he love? Who could give him the attention he might have never truly received at home?
He would be alone.
Drew was, too, afraid of being alone and abandoned. Just like Jake. Just like many other characters in this show.
.
He knew what it was like, and what is still like, to need someone, yet not be needed anymore. For there were other people to fulfill the spot he used to fill in other people's lives, except they would do "better".
Anyway bisexual ass drew "essay" oveRrR (/j-)
(horrible exit)

Coral Island fanfiction by a Rafael simp.
Greetings. I have written in my google keep app while bored at work some fanfiction about my farmer Penelope and certified soft boi Rafael. I only edited it enough for it to make sense. The fic is slow-burn and lighthearted as I am not a fan of too much drama lol. I have a few more google keep notes and there is a vague timeline I am following.
Tentative title Orange Porch Light
Trigger warning- some references to anxiety.
Penelope has been on the island for 24 hours. She started a small garden and has been working on cleaning up her land. She was over it today so she made herself a coffee and went for a walk around the island. She gathered some wild flowers on her walk. It was still early so not many ppl were up and about. She found herself passing the carpenter and walked down the path that looked like it was going back into the town. Penelope saw another flower and knelt down to smell it. Rafael was in the cemetery cleaning up the grave stones. There's something about cemeteries and early mornings that are so perfectly peaceful. He finished one stone and stood up to see a new face just up the road sniffing a flower. She was little and looked even smaller in her crouch. She had a gentle smile on her face as she enjoyed the flower.  She was really beautiful. He realized he was staring and he suddenly felt like a creep. That made him stop, he got back to cleaning the tombstones and hoped she wouldn't come this way since he got himself all flustered now. Penelope picked her new flower and started to walk towards the cemetery. As she approached the cemetery she saw a man cleaning the tombstones. He looked very focused and Penelope felt her hands get real sweaty. He was pretty. She told herself not to stare. "Good morning", she called acting as cool as she could. Rafael looked up, "Oh, hi there", He said shyly. His mind immediately started to tell him to act normal. "I'm the new farmer, Penelope." She reached out for a handshake. Rafael smiled a little and stood to shake her hand, "nice to meet you. Uhm I'm one of the blacksmiths. Rafael." "Oh cool! Nice to meet you too." Penelope was still trying not to stare. He was tall, this pleased her. Her smile was so cheery and her eyes were like a clear winter sky, she was much more beautiful close up. Rafael could feel his cheeks turning pink and he had butterflies in his stomach. "Uhm where is your shop?" She asked. "Oh, just behind the cemetery", Rafael gestured over his shoulder, "I work there with my brother. /" Penelope nodded, "good to know. I may to need to come by later today....my tools are..... Kind sad." "We can definitely help", Rafael smiled and rubbed his neck, "Do you like the island so far?" He asked, forcing himself to make conversation. Penelope sighed, "the island is beautiful. But my plot of land kind of sucks." He grinned and shoved his hands in his pockets, "yeahhhhh, that area has been neglected." Penelope dug her toe into the ground, "no kidding.... I should probably get back to it", she handed him one of her many flowers, "it was nice to meet you Rafael. I'll see you around." Rafael took the flower a little surprised, "yeah Uhm I'll see you around Penelope." She smiled and walked down the path to town. Rafael stared after her until he couldn't see her anymore. He sat down with his flower and twirled it between his fingers. He bounced his leg, why did the new farmer have to be so pretty?? How will he be able to do business with her when she's so cute??? He felt a crush coming on and groaned at himself. Penelope returned to the blacksmiths that afternoon. Her axe was in bad shape but she had hardly enough money to get a new one. Hopefully they can make do with what was left. Rafael was no longer outside. She briefly inspected the business hours outside and was glad to see their hours seemed fairly normal. When she entered, someone she hadn't met yet was at the counter, probably the brother. He too was quite good looking with real nice hair, she thought. But Penelope was really hoping to see Rafael again. Good morning, this other blacksmith greeted, oh hey you must be the new farmer! That's me, Penelope said shyly. This brother is the outgoing one. You're way cuter than I expected. Penelope awkwardly shifted, "uhm okay." Also the flirty brother.... "I'm Pablo", he smiled. Penelope, she mumbled. She just wanted the axe looked at, not to be flirted with. At least, not by this blacksmith. "Oh Penelope!" She turned around and saw Rafael coming in from the other room. "Oh you two have already met", Pablo crossed his arms sounding almost jealous. "Uh yeah. Just this morning", Rafael smiled shyly at her. Penelope could feel a blush rising up her face, he was so cute. "Well how can we help you?" Pablo said. Rafael walked past Penelope and stood next to Pablo. Penelope placed the axe on the counter, "uhm. This is junky.... I don't have a lot of money at the moment but is there anything you can do to salvage what's here?" "Oof that is junk", Pablo said as Rafael picked it up. Rafael gave it a quick once over, "we can make this better." Penelope smiled in relief and Rafael felt his face blush so he tried not to look at her. "Uhm, I can have it ready tomorrow morning? Is that alright?" Pablo could see that Rafael was succumbing to his shyness and he could see Penelope was also blushing. Ooooooh shit, he thought, they're CRUSHING!! Penelope nodded, "yeah that's great!" "Cool! We'll see you tomorrow Penelope", Pablo said extra cheery aftet his quick observations. She waved and Rafael waved too. Pablo smirked at his brother, "so she's really pretty hey?" Rafael cleared his throat but looked away pretending to be nonchalant, "uh yeah." Rafael was bad at being nonchalant and Pablo always could tell when he tried too hard. Rafael attempted to hide his blushing face by finding something to do. Pablo knew him too well, but decided to wait to bug him. They did have quite a bit of work ahead of them. The next day Penelope busted her ass all morning doing land clearing and tending her garden. She was done close to lunch time and realized she hadn't gone to get her axe yet. She was wiped out. After she picks up her axe, she's gonna relax hard for the rest of the day. "Oh, hi Penelope", Rafael greeted smiling politely. He was behind the counter and Pablo was working on something. "Good afternoon", Pablo called and got back to work. Penelope smiled, "hey guys." Rafael grinned and placed her axe on the counter, "it's all ready for you." Penelope yawned but tried to hide it, "thanks. What do I owe you?" Pablo took a quick glance at them interacting and Rafael was blushing again. Pablo laughed to himself and kept working. "Do you still have lots of work to do?" Rafael asked shyly. Penelope picked up the axe, "yeah but not today. I'm too tired to do much else." Rafael nodded. He had noticed she looked a little wiped out compared to yesterday. She must not be used to the physical labor yet. "Yeah make sure to take breaks." Penelope took the axe, "ha I'll try." She said bye to them and left. Penelope came in a few times over the week. Pablo tended to make himself scarce because he 100% noticed Penelope and Rafael were crushing on each other. Rafael noticed that each time Penelope came in she looked even more exhausted. He would never say anything about it other than the casual don't work too hard when in reality he wanted to force her to rest with a blanket and tea

Thank you for actually taking your time to read that! It felt nice letting something like that out. You say it to your family and friends but it’s nice to get a perspective from someone who doesn’t know you completely on a personal level! I do hope I find love too! I feel like I deserve it now. It took me so long to get over this guy! Years!! 2021 was probably when I said enough! I’m scared to get back out there but I hope someday I find the Eddie to my reader! And yes I’m excited for this story. I like when you make references to things tht have happened in the past! You’d do it with LWTUA and I loved it! So I’m excited to read the rest! Argyle in this is so funny btw! The smut was so good! Idk why you worry about your smut! It’s always so passionate I love it! I feel the feelings yours trying to convey! Lol! Eddie kissing reader was 👩🏻‍🍳😘🤌🏼 he finally got to kiss her I want to know what was going through his head when she kissed him back! I bet he couldn’t believe it was finally happening for him!
-💃🏻💅🏻
Of course omg! Oh sometimes it's even easier to talk to a stranger on the internet about these kinds of things or even when you need advice or something! I'm so glad you are over him, I can only imagine how awful and heartbreaking it was for you. Moments like these can feel very lonely and just purely painful, I'm glad you moved on. I get the fear of getting back out there again cause one heartbreak is enough, you don't want a second one but I'm sure once the time is right, love will find you and you will find your Eddie 🥺
And omg I'm so happy you liked it! Thank you so much! I'm always a little worried about the smuts because I think I make things sound wrong or something 😂 but I'm glad that you like the way I write it!
And omg, Eddie was definitely going crazy when she kissed him. He had full on butterflies, his heart was fluttering like crazy and he felt like it was a dream cause like, the girl of his dreams is kissing him!

First of all, I hope that wherever you are in life you're healthy and as happy as you can be. I also must confess that I did reactivate my tumblr account from eight years ago to send this message.
In high school, I used to read your Glee fanfics at night alone in my room when I was so far in the closet that I was eating fucking Turkish delight in Narnia. Those stories breathed life into me and unraveled a beautifully complicated and seemingly unattainable fantasy where two women can be together romantically. Granted Santana and Quinn did have a hard time staying together, but you get my point.
I used to get butterflies in my stomach when I saw that there was a new chapter update, not only because I got to crawl away into a queer world, but because the creation of this world was done so carefully and artfully. The complexity of LIALTHI and IBYM are impressive and exhilarating, it was better than watching a thrilling movie. While much of the thrill was the queer representation--if it can really be called "representation," when it was simply was just the queerNESS--but the writing and storylines were beautifully crafted while both heartwarming and heartbreaking. I felt like I experienced every emotion outlined in the text on screen of my iPhone 3 before I panically cleared my browsing history out of fear someone might discover my sins.
You didn't ask, but don't worry, things got better. I'm out and have worked through plenty of internalized homophobia. Even in a healthy gal pal relationship. Glad I didn't place bets on how my future would pan out when I was that sad sack in high school because I'd have lost a lot of money.
I recently reread LIALTHI and IBYM , they were wonderful again as I expected. And while we've come a long way in access to queer storylines and leading characters and shows, I can't seem to stop thinking about Quinn and Santana's story in this series. I'm left a little hollow thinking about them swimming around in the abyss, unfinished, unrequited, undeserving of being left on the precipice.
Let me be clear, this is NOT me shaming you for not finishing the story. These characters are creations of your brain and they don't "deserve" anything. You did unpaid labor that probably benefited thousands of people, and for that you should not feel bad about dropping off. This was meant to more be a "thank you" for creating this world. And while I'm sad the world now exists in a plane that doesn't intersect with our own, I'm better off for crossing through it for the time that I could. Sometimes I like to think that unfinished stories go off into space and finish themselves (wanky) purely for their own benefit.
Like many, I was devastated about Naya's death. I felt like she played a character I knew in so many other ways, from so many other non-canon stories, and now they were all lost. I thought I would feel queasy reading anything in this world again, but it felt like coming home to friends. To friends who were there for me when I needed them most. And who I'm still invested in after all this time.
Now I know I just (genuinely!!) said I feel no type of frustration or sense of injustice that you didn't finish the story, because you're a person who has a real life that exists outside of fanfiction.net. And I can't emphasize enough how that is far more important. However I would low key pay you to finish lol. Kidding, not really, name your price, jk... :)
Anyway. Thank you for giving so many extra layers to these characters and for serving a community with your creative mind. It was special for me to be able to go back and read one of my favorite stories. Again, I truly hope you are out there living a life you love. Stay well xx
Whew,
This is a such a gift of a message. I wish I could ping you in some way, Anon, to tell you that I've finally responded to this.
Love the Narnia reference. The wanky one later as well.
Writing fanfiction really helped me. I had been "out" for years before I started writing but my imagination when it came to queerness really expanded when I began writing and engaging with the community here.
I want you to know that they got a happy ending. That was the only plan ever for me. They are healthy (working more towards whatever that is bit by bit) and happy together.
Feel free to message me off anon and we can discuss the things I had planned or how happy you are with your gal pal. I am happy for you and I am fucking proud of you.

While I have you here let me just say, this has been such an odd and beautiful event. I feel like a caterpillar that's halfway through its goo phase and I'm about to emerge as a butterfly. I feel like I've experienced 20 lifetimes in just the past couple days. I took drugs from strangers today and learned my lesson and lost half a day of music + connection but still had a good time and everything is fine?? Idk.
My only goals for tomorrow: swim in the river, lay on the beach and read, kiss at least one person (thinking about DF but could be someone else if the opportunity presents itself lol)
I love that I have enough little relationships with different people that now I have to use multiple letters to refer to them all on here lmfao like regular D is a significant person in my life but there's another side character DF who has reappeared out here and he's tall and cute; he's working out here so it's been hard to connect but I'm hopeful for tomorrow 😇 also T potentially, ran into him the other day, but he has kinda chaotic vibes idk like very sexy but kind of dangerous ?? Idk. Life is funny. Sorry I'm such a slut for the guys at work. They're all cute and interesting and I can't contain myself. (Wish I could've hung out with KJ more, at this point I think it's unlikely but he's gonna be at my next gig and he's like halfway bossman with that company so idk; hard to have a real friendship/dynamic with someone who's regularly your boss, you know? )
It's been such a weird day. I got drunk earlier thinking I'd just be bopping around all day drinking beer + smoking weed + listening to music, a guy walks into camp selling mushroom chocolate so I heckled him into giving me a bite LMFAO (don't take drugs from strangers) (luckily I've done So Many Drugs and it was Fine but that was 100% not mushrooms, very synthetic; still beautiful visuals and lasted the length of a normal trip but I ended up taking a 3 hour trippy hammock nap instead of all the music I was planning to see) ; eventually it wore off, I wandered around the campgrounds and found a secret party where one of my favorite bands was playing and that revived the night; drank 3 beers within the past couple hours bc I still don't have any herb to smoke and I just wanted to feel normal + relax and the beer is helping but I also wish I could smoke weed;
Anyway now it's 6:15 and I'm gonna have like 3 hours before the sun comes Up and the van gets too hot; beach nap will be a great time. Music tomorrow will be chill and I'm just gonna bring a blanket and camp out by the main stage all day. Life is GOOD man life is so fucking good. Silly little setback today but it's all fine!!!!

Oooooh icic! That definitely makes sense now that you mention it too I’m even more curious…if you got a request for a character that was really obscure or say you had 0 interest in would you reject it? Or would you just like grit your teeth and try to write something LOL I know before you said that both your Rin and Sae fics were requests (I think apologies if I remembered wrong) and you also had some Hiori requests too and iirc those characters were all kinda uhh “new” (for lack of a better term) to your usually characters..? And esp with the itoshi “hate” neutrality since they aren’t usually characters you’d write of your own volition, like imagine if someone requested igaguri or like ego what would happen? LMAO
I’m no fic writer but I remember when I had to write essays I’d slap out the first like two paragraphs keep writing and in the end I’d always go back to rewrite the first two because the flow of my writing established itself in the latter parts LOL yeah I think beginning parts are usually less refined on the first draft. At least for me, the inspiration ends up flowing midway through when I finally have a solid idea of what I’m going for HAHA
I’m genuinely hoping we get a lot more spinoff content generally….I know some series make more spinoff content after their series ends so I hope we continue getting more bllkverse expansion soon!!! I seriously wanna know what happened in the other stratums in NEL and the first selections too
Yeahhh it’s wild I think actually there’s a French version of the Bible??? Which is why I’m like what’s the English team doing LMAO Reo getting voted for all the good ones was hilarious like even everyone in bllk is like yup bros got it all (Isagi’s comment was FOUL LMFAOOO) and igaguri being last in everything HAHAHAHA
FR!!! Im just sitting here waiting for a Karasu awakening like PLEASE man has been sitting there busting his ass carrying the team please give him a chance!!!!
Also speaking of Karasu…..ok this is gonna be kinda really random but I actually stumbled upon one of @/i-am-not-strange’s posts but FOR THE LIFE OF ME I can’t press on their profile??? Either my fingers are broken and I’m pressing on something wrong or Tumblr is just flipping out but do you have my idea what art they’re referring to in their recent post about like Karasu and Hiori swapping bodies…? I’m sure it’s not canon but I can’t lie and say I’m not intrigued LOL I would go ask them myself but whenever I try to go to their profile it either a) does nothing b) crashes??? I’ve never had this happen before (like I’m on your profile just fine) but???? Anyways…sorry for having to ask you here LMAO and no worries in advance if you don’t know it just caught my eye LOL
-Karasu anon
honestly i feel like i always cook 10x more with characters i don’t like/am unfamiliar with…maybe because it pushes me out of my comfort zone so i’m more willing to experiment?? like i think the instrument and white butterfly were probably my fav things that i wrote for my event (and honorary mention to seabird because it’s so cutesy) and both were for characters i was unfamiliar with!! lowkey i think i could go crazy with an igaguri or ego fic LMAOAO imagine an ego fic where you know him at his peak as a soccer player and watch his downfall (bonus points if you’re friends with noel noa/connected to that weird ass dynamic somehow) OR an igaguri fic that plays into his weird religious trauma of being forced to be a monk if he can’t play soccer?? mostly it’s treated as a joke but what if it was taken seriously…PLSSSS i need to STFU why did i just genuinely come up with plots for EGO and IGAGURI 😭 suffice to say i would literally write for any character no matter how obscure/how little i personally care abt them 🤩 i try not to let my biases show in my writing either and hopefully i’m successful in that!! like my itoshi neutrality doesn’t rlly manifest in the fics i’ve written for them i think!! so even if someone requested for one of my opps i wouldn’t let my distaste impact how i write/how seriously i take the story
omg that ALWAYS happens to me whenever i do essays too!! that’s why i hated high school writing when our teachers made us write our thesis first…like yes i can write a thesis for you but i can guarantee that i won’t follow it and it’ll be entirely different by the time i submit it so it follows the contents of what i actually wrote vs what i INTEND to write!!
blue lock has SUCH an expansive cast and it’s also sooo popular as a manga so just from a business/financial standpoint it would make 0 sense not to do spin-off stuff!! like i’d even read a sae spin-off of him in spain if they don’t want to go through the bllk program again and want to focus on one of the itoshis…we’ve followed rin pretty closely and know his mentality pretty well so idt he needs a spin-off but depending on how in depth the main manga goes on sae i think a spin-off of him could be fun!! or like shidou or smth…OR AN EGO ORIGIN STORY SPINOFF OMG I’D DIE FOR THAT ACTUALLY like him and young noel noa and their rivalry?? i don’t even like ego that much but i think it would be cool to see his backstory be explored like that!! also an episode anri but we know we’re never getting that sadly
FRRR why is there a french version but not english?? maybe it’s because bllk isn’t as popular here yet?? hoping that changes with season 2 though…i’m not saying jjk fanbase levels of popular because that’s when you get the crazies but def bigger than what it is rn
THEY GAVE HIORI AN AWAKENING THEY CAN GIVE KARASU ONE TOO!! especially because he was so crucial to hiori’s awakening…like come on now kaneshiro be a good author and put some parallels between mr talented but doesn’t care and mr mediocre but works hard 😒
HAHA THAT’S SO WEIRD tumblr stays tweaking 😭 i was able to go on her profile fine so maybe there’s smth going on with your app?? honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a tumblr issue because for how old this app is it’s surprisingly unusable at times 🫣 maybe it’s working for me because she’s one of my mutuals?? idk 😰 also i know the post you’re referencing but do not know what art she was talking abt…i can send her an ask abt it and then link her response in the next ask of yours i answer and hopefully that works!! if not i could also add a screenshot into my answer LMAO

(BREAKS WALL LIKE KOOL AID MAN) LIST OF WHAT THE FOUNDATION DOCTORS ARE TO MÆ(noises of a GBA cartridge having an orgasm. I mean a strong one)
Bright: had to tell everyone hes mine now. Sorry but the dude that created him first actually never did anything for it but use him to bait minors. On another note Jack punched clef thru a wall over a "hehe ur original artist was a kid diddler and the only reason youre alive is someone with autism" joke sO
Shaw: for the love of FUCK keep this boi away from danger hes such a lil fella look at him with his artisanal flamethrower and golden-brown soft fluffy hair hes SUCH A SMOL BOI A-
Kondraki: cool dude who can Actually Use A Katana and has butterflies. No one knows if the anomaly is the butterflies or the fact he can straight up summon them. People stopped doing "bottledick" jokes to him years ago after a drunken crying session. Of course the one thats out of thus one is... clef
Light: some people say shes "female bright" (which is billshit because bright isnt even THAT horny) and i say shes a good researcher who just so happens to sound excessively flirty. Shes also shaped like the expected idea of a Hot Girl but everyones like "she does her job, and thats cool". Yes she notices the stares of junior researches and Yes she can sometimes be a tease. Idk why she loves doing that but hey. Everyones different
Rights: also Literally Just A Normal Person, she sometimes infodumps about her fanfics and... its actually really interesting to hear her like idfk why everyone is like that. LET THE MELANINE MILADY COOK🔥🔥🔥she makes some trULY esaustive reports and everyone silently agrees that telling someone "hey, right's like this because she lurks in AO3" is just.. mean. Has been (and probably still is, decided its their fuckign problem cause "author entity" shouldnt mean "privacy ignoring ass") "friends with benefits" with light and... both cant deny they didnt enjoy those late nights between girls >w○
Iceberg: for some reason his "anomalous trait" is "hes cold in the sense of Body Is Cold AF but Still Works". Like dudes skin is SLIGHTLY blue like some weird Anomalous DNA Bullshit and his hair is straight up Light Ice Blue. Other than that hes... kind of a lil ray of sunshine honestly, he may be a walking refrigerator but he doesnt having problems warming up to people :) (haha i have made a bad temperature pun)
Gears: he is basically mostly robotic, calm and collected, and... honestly hes kinda alright. Like he can come off as emotionless but like... he is??? I know of at least ONE incident where a mekhanite delegation looked at him and was like "you guys dont even need to worship MEKHANE? Cool" and he went "im literally a mekhanite". Dude is also really based btw like man i get that you're an accidental reference to Spock but holy shit dude why are you a chad
Buck: O5-6. And i am the only one that figured that out. LoL (also shes kinda of a stuck-up. Girl i get that the foundations job is important but one day 682 is gonna tell you "attitude like this is why i hate humanity" and youre gonna be in 999s cell for a WHILE.) (Seriously light tf up. Get a videogame, talk with people, GO OUTSIDE-)
Collingwood: something in my universe mist be Horribly Wrong because uuuh... she somehow now wants to have an SCP...Bf. no. I may be technically a 001-SWANN entity but i have no idea wtf happened. All I know is that our grey-haired queen is yearning and i hope i got it wrong because lemme tell you. I definetively misunderstood her. (Also the other option is She Has A Crush On Buck, which i mean... ok? But like girl there are other girls out there- unless you Have A Type, then i shall stfu)
Clef: three eyed shotgun addict who made her daughters file look like her anomalous effect isnt "cute forest spirit girl with a catholic upbringing who eventually got a bit more relaxed" (she still goes to Foundation Church [which is church but inside of a site] cause come on at least once a month she gotta stay in the confessional. Turns out the entire clerical part of the foundation looked at this Deer Dearie and went "shes cool 👍") but "EvErYoNe WaNtS tO fUcK hEr OoOoOo" like NO you "i will find the "n-word with the hard r" for reality benders" 12-gauge addict just because many people say "hey clef ur daughters cute :3" doesnt meant they feel Like That. Actually get this: currently shes like... either 22 or 24 idk and shes with SCP-239, WHO IS A 19 22YO WORKAHOLIC THAT IS A TYPE GREEN AND TYPE BLUE AT THE SAME TIME AND THE FOUNDATION WAS LIKE "LeTs MaKe HeR wOrK aT tHaUmAtUrGy!" yEAH THANK YOU NOW SHE HAS A CAFFEINE ADDICT. IF IT WASNT FOR HER BIG TIDDY NATURE SPIRIT GF SHE WOULD BE AN XK YOU DEFLATED PENIS. GO PLAY BUCKSHOT ROULETTE IRL YOU DISGRACE UPON GARNET STEVEN UNIVERSE OF A THREE EYED SHIT.
rights is such an intresting fucking character and the fact that shes either reduced down to some sex pest horny stripper archetype or just everyones actual fucking mother makes my blood boil. you literally do not see this type of shit happening with the other male doctors and i think everyone knows good and well why. rights is a sweet, caring woman, who goes out of her way to be nice to people despite everything she has gone through but that does not make her a fucking suitable mother, in fact when she does actually have a daughter she doesn't even feel anything towards it. she isn't fit to be a mother, point blank. that's just not who she is. and like, yeah, her sexuality is a large part of her character, it's not something that she goes out of her way to hide, in fact it's something that is shown outright a lot of types and it's never something she shies away from, but holy fuck she is not a sex pest who goes around fucking everyone in sight. reducing her to either of these things is to ignore her entire character, in that she can be both while still being human. rights isn't meant to fit into a fucking box, it goes against her character to try to pack her into one. when you try to shift her into an archetype, you end up ignoring a lot of her other facets. god. anyway. everyone get normal about doctor agatha rights or else im going to kill you

Hello my love 💚 I feel flatteres that you're sending me your first request, that's also why I wrote it today to not let you wait any longer (I'm slower with requests at the moment due to a new job and now being sick). I loved this the moment I read it, and this has so much potential! For more parts, but I tried to put as much in this as I could for now. I really hope you like it and thanks for trusting me with this 💚
Requests are open | prompt lists for inspiration | Stranger Things Masterlist
Pairing: Eddie Munson x Female!Reader (Substitute Teacher) Word count: 5278 Warning/Tags: mutual pining, fluff, maybe a little angst, teacher-student-realtionship (not completely), first kiss, Jane Austen and The Hobbit references (let me know if I missed anything)

Hot for Teacher
Coming back to Hawkins High was strange. Strange in a good way, because you weren’t back here because of something you’d done or because you had to go back to school. No, you were here because you were going to work here as a substitute teacher. You’d finished your courses for the semester, had handed your essays in, and had gone home for Christmas - and now you were staying for the rest of the school year. Your work at school counted for that semester, because you needed to get some experience actually working as a teacher. That meant that you’d be working alongside some of your old teachers, but you’d also chip in in case someone got sick - and you were watching over the students in detention.
Setting foot back into your old school after one and a half years was exhilarating. You knew most of the teachers, and some of the students as well, since you’d tutored them, so you were excited to see them, see how they were doing. What you didn’t expect to see, though, was a familiar face that had sat next to you in English, one of the courses he actually had attended, because books were something Eddie Munson loved. Maybe not exactly the ones you’d had to read in school, but some of them at least, and you distinctly remembered him reciting something from Hamlet standing on top of the table in the cafeteria.God, you’d had the biggest crush on him, but had never said a word to anyone. Because as much as he was a sweetheart towards you, always greeting you with a smile, he was also intimidating in a way you couldn’t describe. Not scary or anything, just… a little unapproachable. You’d talked about stuff during class, had shared some book recommendations, but he’d still always seemed so in his own world, that you hadn’t thought you’d fit into this world. You’d taken what you’d been able to get, the casual conversations, the books you’d swapped before the last summer you’d spent at home. You still had that book, had kept it as a memory and also as a lucky charm. It was an edition of Tolkien’s The Hobbit with notes and thoughts Eddie had written on the pages. He’d gotten your copy of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice with notes as well, because he hadn’t wanted to read it at first. But you’d made a deal, that you’d read The Hobbit if he gave Austen a chance. It had just been a funny little deal you’d made, but it still made you smile. Before the summer was over, you’d met again for a brief moment, and when you’d wanted to give the book back to him, he’d told you to keep it. Something to remember him by.
You could still feel the butterflies when you remembered the look on his face. That had been that moment, the time when you could have been able to tell him just how you’d felt about him, but to what avail? You were just leaving for university and he was still staying in Hawkins, because he had to repeat the year. You’d always thought that it must have been for the best, but you’d never forgotten about him.
And now, he sat in your English class at the back of the room, scribbling something down, and all the butterflies you’d thought had vanished in that time, were back suddenly, making your head spin. Having him around would make working here a lot more difficult.
~~~
School had just started again after Christmas break, so Eddie thought that he could at least try to attend every class. After all, he wanted to finally graduate this year, and even though he’d been through the courses twice, there were still some alterations here and there, especially when it came to English. Last year, they’d read pretty much the same books as the year before, just one had been different, but this year, it had already started out differently, and it was intriguing for Eddie. That’s why he was here, because he wanted to know what they would continue with.
“Alright, some of you might remember her, because she was a student here up until two years ago when she graduated. She’s gonna work with me a little bit, and she’ll work here as a substitute teacher. Please welcome Miss Y/L/N.”
“Hi! It’s nice to be back, and I do remember some faces!”
When Eddie heard your voice, he immediately looked up, because he knew that voice, remembered it, because it had appeared in his dreams more often than he’d like to admit. And there you were, all smiles just like he remembered you. Your hair looked different, but apart from that, you were still the same beautiful girl he remembered - or should he say woman?
God, he’d had the biggest crush on you, but had never really said anything, because he’d been too shy. Sure, he’d talked to you, and he’d probably had the opportunity when you’d talked about your favourite books, but he hadn’t gotten the words out. By now, he was a bit more confident than he’d been two years ago. But he still remembered everything - and he still kept your book on his nightstand to read a few pages now and then. And while he wondered, if you still had his book, you held exactly that one up to the class. His mind was reeling. This almost felt like a dream, but he was pretty sure that he’d gotten out of bed this morning. He pinched his own thigh beneath the table, the slight pain all too real, so he knew that he hadn’t conjured you up in his dreams once again.
“I know what you’re thinking… The Hobbit is a children’s book and it is. At least, it was written for children, and you can see that very clearly in the onomatopoeia Tolkien uses.” Confused noises were heard through the room, but Eddie just had to smirk. You’d really chosen the book he’d given you as the one to work on with the class, and you’d clearly gotten to the bottom of said book, otherwise you wouldn’t have said what you’d just said.
“What’s that mean?” One of the other students asked.
“It means that he describes sounds, so instead of writing that the doorbell rang or something, he writes that it made dingdongelingdang.” Eddie was surprised with himself that he’d spoken up, when he usually tried to lay low and just make it through the day. The others seemed surprised as well, but you smiled. Because you knew that he’d get what you were talking about.
“Mr Munson is right.” Eddie cringed a little, you calling him that so foreign to his ears that it sounded rather strange, but he’d probably have to get used to that. “That’s what we’ll be looking at. Recurring themes as well as the quest plot. I won’t say anything more about this, maybe you can find out what I mean until next time.”
Oh, Eddie already knew what you were talking about, but then again, he was more than familiar with the book. But he was pretty certain that he’d have a hard time concentrating with you in the room, because he already felt the longing he’d pushed down years ago return.
When the lesson was over and everyone filed out of the room, Eddie stayed back. You saw him out of the corner of your eyes, had to bite your lip when he approached the teacher’s desk, your supervisor already gone, so you two were alone.
“So… you’re back at Hawkins High,” Eddie said, pushing his hands in the front pockets of his jeans. He looked so much like a little school boy when he stood like that, that it was almost comical.
“Yeah, and you’re still here.” There was no accusation in your words, just curiosity. You knew how clever he was, he just lost focus sometimes way too quickly. It had been like that two years ago, and was probably the same now.
“Yeah…” Eddie didn’t really want to talk about it, because there was not a lot to say. “I see you kept the book.” That was a much safer topic for him, for both of you.
“Of course I did!” Had he really thought that you’d get rid of it? Maybe even throw it away? You couldn’t tell him how much that book meant to you, especially not considering that you were his teacher now. “It’s inspired me a lot, otherwise I wouldn’t have chosen it for the class.”
“I’ve still got yours as well.”
“You did?” You hated the way your heart picked up its pace at his words, because a tiny part of you believed that he’d kept it to remember you by, just like you’d done with his book.
“Sure did. Still read it every now and then. I never told you, but I actually really enjoyed it, and all your little notes.”
“Miss Y/L/N?”
Glad for the interruption because it kept you from giggling like a teenager, you looked up at your supervisor and nodded. They were waiting for you, you knew that, but… with Eddie around, you kind of forgot about that.
“I’ll be right there.”
He nodded and turned back around to leave. Your eyes landed on Eddie again, on the smile on his lips, on the curls that framed his face perfectly, but you made the mistake of looking into his deep brown eyes that you could get lost in. Quickly, you shook your head.
“I hope I’ll see you around in my class then,” you said with a smile as you took your bag and headed for the door.
“Wouldn’t miss it for the world!” Eddie called after you, his words turning that smile into a big grin.
~~~
“Have you seen the new substitute teacher?” Gareth asked once they were sitting at their table in the cafeteria. Of course that had to be the topic. They’d already talked about how their holidays had been, but your arrival at the school was their topic number one.
“Yeah, she used to be my tutor.” Jeff took a bite from his sandwich as he leaned back.
“Heard she’s talking about the Hobbit in your class?” Dustin asked, his eyes set on Eddie, because that was a topic they both obsessed over. Lord of the Rings even more, but The Hobbit was always worth talking about as well.
“Yeah…” Eddie leaned back, grabbing a handful of pretzels to shove them in his mouth. “Guess who gave her that book.”
“No way!” Dustin’s eyes widened, curiosity shining in them. “Were you two…” He made a gesture with his hands that made the others chuckle.
“No!” The finality in his words made their chuckles die down, but Eddie sighed. “Well… I’d say we bonded over books but nothing ever happened. Once I’d nearly worked up the courage… she was gone. Or as good as gone. Whatever.” He sighed once more, because he still wondered what could have happened if he’d only had the courage to ask you out, even before you’d graduated. But it didn’t change anything, did it? In the end, he wouldn’t have wanted to hold you back anyway.
“But you did like her…?” Gareth inquired, because now, he was curious.
“I guess.” It wasn’t exactly something Eddie wanted to talk about. He’d already said enough, and he knew that some of the guys would probably tease him about it, so it was better to not get into more detail. He diverted the topic to the next Dungeons and Dragons campaign, because he knew that they would all get excited about this and probably forget all about you in the meantime.
All of them did, except for Dustin, who stayed back for a moment when everyone else left for class.
“Just so you know… Miss Y/L/N ist also watching over detention.” The grin on Dustin’s lips told its own story, and Eddie couldn’t deny that his words made him get a couple of ideas. Not that he wanted to get stuck in detention, but with you there… it was probably worth it.
~~~
Your first days passed by rather pleasantly, and you were enjoying yourself. Most of the students were eager to learn, were participating in your classes, or they at least had the decency to not disturb you. Maybe, because you’d been one of them not long ago. It didn’t matter in the end because you were just glad that it was like this. And so far, you hadn’t had to watch over detention. Today was the first day, but you could use that time to get some reading of your own done, or look through the tests you’d been given.
What you didn’t expect, was one Eddie Munson sitting on top of the table when you entered the classroom. Your steps faltered, but you caught yourself again. It was one thing to see him in class with other people around, but a different one when you were here alone for a whole hour. Because you knew that it was just one student. Eddie Munson. Next time, you should make them give you a list so that you were prepared for what was to come.
“Mr Munson! What brings you here?” You put down your bag on the desk, busying yourself with a bunch of papers.
“I’ll never get used to you calling me that,” Eddie said with a chuckle before he leaned against the desk. “Do you really wanna know?”
“Probably not.” You couldn’t help but laugh. There were a couple of reasons you could think of, but in the end, it didn’t really matter.
“Anything I can help you with?” He leaned over the desk to get a glimpse at what you were getting out of your bag. When you looked up, your faces were so close that you could feel his breath tickle your cheek, and you suddenly straightened up.
“No, I… I think I’ll just do all that later and read a little bit. Do you have any homework you need to get done? Could use the time right now.” You took a step back from the desk, smoothed your plaid skirt down and quickly took the book out of your bag.
“Nope. No homework. Maybe you could read to me?” Eddie kept his eyes on you but walked over to one of the chairs and sat down. He enjoyed seeing you get so flustered, because it meant that he definitely had some kind of effect on you. He was a little bolder now than he’d been back then, but he needed to find out what you thought, how you felt, before he came right out and told you what he was thinking about, how he’d been feeling for you, because these feelings had come back with a bang.
“You want me to read Persuasion to you?” A look of surprise crossed your face as you turned the book over to show it to him. Another Austen book, you’d read it a couple of times before, but you wanted to start your year with a re-read of her books
“You know, I’m normally the storyteller, so it’s nice for a change. Totally fine if you don’t want to.” Eddie leaned back, his eyes still fixed on you. You remembered that he played D&D, that he was the Dungeon Master and came up with the campaigns, and while you weren’t into that game yourself, you certainly knew what it was about.
“No, it’s alright. I just haven’t read out loud in a while.” And it made you nervous to read to him. The whole class? No problem. But just to Eddie? That was different, even though you didn’t like to admit it to yourself. But he still had the same effect on you that he’d had back then, could still make you nervous when he winked at you or even just looked at you a moment too long. But you were his teacher now, so that was a completely different situation.
You sat down in your chair and opened the book. Another look at Eddie before you started reading it out loud. Your heartbeat slowed down the longer you read, and you began to enjoy yourself. Eddie just sat there, watching you, listening to you. It was the best thing he’d experienced this week. Sure, Wayne had read to him a couple of times when he’d been younger, but nobody did that anymore when you were an adult. So it was extremely soothing for him to listen to you.
“A man does not recover-” you started only to be interrupted by Eddie.
“- From such devotion of the heart to such a woman! He ought not; he does not.” Eddie sighed as he got up from his chair and walked over to you again.
“You… You’ve read Persuasion?” Genuinely surprised, you got up from your chair as well and put the book down.
“Not only Persuasion. After I was finished with Pride and Prejudice, you had me intrigued, so I read Austen’s other books as well. Find out what makes you tick, because I always saw you with an Austen book around.” Eddie stopped right in front of you.
“You did?” You hated how high pitched your voice sounded, but you couldn’t deny the way he made your heart race, his mere presence made your skin tingle. You knew that you should step back, but you were frozen in place.
“Mhm… Always wanted to ask you out, but I was always too nervous. Too shy.”
“You? Shy?”
His fingertips danced across your cheek, your eyes fluttered shut, and you leaned into that touch.
“Worked past that as it seems.” Eddie’s chuckle made you open your eyes again, and when you saw him leaning in, you finally snapped back. Taking a step back, you ran both of your hands over your face and through your hair.
“This is not a good idea,” you said weakly, reaching for the book to put it back in your bag. You had to get away from here, away from him. Technically, you were the same age, but you were still in a position of power as his teacher - even if you weren’t a real teacher yet, you were still the one teaching him.
“Why not? I mean… nobody had to know about this. It’s not like we could have had something before you started here as a teacher.” He was right, yes, but you didn’t want to get anyone in trouble. Eddie wanted to graduate this year, and you were not going to fuck this up for him.
“Eddie, this could get you expelled and I could lose this job.”
“Then tell me that you don’t feel the same way I do, and I’ll leave you alone.” His words were soft, his hand reaching out for yours. He was asking the impossible from you, because you couldn’t lie to him.
“Go home Eddie. Detention is over.” You pulled your hand free from his, took your bag, and practically ran out of the room and out of the building, finding it hard to breathe all of a sudden. You should have lied to him, should have told him that you didn’t have any feelings for him, but one look in his honest eyes and you hadn’t been able to tell a lie.
~~~
The next few days were rather uneventful, but you couldn’t help looking at Eddie - and found him staring back most of the time. You exchanged looks all of the time, but he didn’t show up in detention anymore, so that was good for you. With someone else around, it was always alright, you just couldn’t be trusted when you were around him alone.
Tonight, you wanted a little relief, so you went to the Hideout with one of your old friends. Sandy was still living in Hawkins, and you’d met up during the holidays, and even now, you were spending your time together. You’d told her about what had happened - or nearly happened -  with Eddie. She’d known about your crush even back when you’d still been in school, so that story had gotten her all giddy. She’d told you back then to tell him, to go out with him, do something at least, but even her words hadn’t changed anything in your behaviour. Known now that Eddie had the hots for you made her want to lock you two up in a room together.
“Sandy, we can’t do anything about this!” you said to her once again while getting ready to go out.
“I know, I know, it’s inappropriate, but you’re not even a real teacher!”
“Thank you…” You rolled your eyes before you applied some lipstick and fluffed up your hair a bit more.
“You know what I mean. And Eddie is technically not a student anymore. Only on paper.”
“Yeah, and that’s the problem!” You squeezed your eyes shut, taking a deep breath. You had no idea how you were supposed to get through the rest of the year with him constantly there - because unlike two years ago, it almost seemed like he went to every class now.
“You could keep it a secret!”
“Yeah, but then you know, the Hellfire Boys will know as well, and only one has to spill the beans and everything���s screwed. Who will trust me with their children when they know that I had something going on with a student?” A question you didn’t need an answer for, so you kept on talking. “Let’s just… forget about it for tonight, okay? I just want to have a drink, enjoy some music, and then get some well deserved sleep.”
“Alright.” Sandy squeezed your shoulder. She never meant any harm, only wanted what was best for you, but sometimes that wasn’t exactly the very best thing.
The Hideout wasn’t exactly packed, but there were still enough people, so that it took some time for you to get your drinks, but once you had them, you could find a spot from where you could see the stage. When you saw the band’s banner on stage, though, you nearly choked on your drink.
“Are you kidding me?” You turned to Sandy, a look of bewilderment on your face.
“What? What’s the matter?”
“Corroded Coffin are playing tonight! You could have told me that!”
“So?” She looked at you until something in her brain clicked. “Oh fuck! Y/N, I really didn’t think about that! Shit!”
“Fancy seeing you here!” His voice send shivers down your spine immediately, you didn’t even have to see him. Now, it was too late to just turn around and leave, because he knew that you were here.
“Hey Eddie…” You turned around to face him, trying your best to smile at him.
“Oh, so it’s Eddie now?”
“Want me to call you Mr Munson?”
“Ahh that hurts me.” He put a hand over his heart and stumbled back a little, making you chuckle. Always the drama-king.
“You remember Sandy?” You tried to divert his attention to your friend, but they just nodded at each other.
“Sure so, she comes here quite often.”
“There’s not exactly a lot of places to go in Hawkins.”
“You got a point.” Eddie laughed before he looked at you again. He reached for your hand and you let him take it, didn’t pull back this time. “Got a special song for you, so I hope you’re staying?”
“Of course we are!” Sandy said over your shoulder winking at Eddie, while you held your breath. You couldn’t answer, didn’t even have to right now.
“Good. You’ll know the song when you hear it.” He raised your joined hands to his lips to brush a kiss across your knuckles, before he turned around to get back to the stage to finish setting up.
“So… and you’re telling me you want to resist that charme?”
“I have to try at least.” You heaved a sigh before you raised your glass to your lips, and drained it in one go. You had to, though you knew that he really made it hard for you to resist him.
~~~
Eddie was nervous because of you. They’d been practising Van Halen’s Hot for Teacher pretty much ever since you’d appeared at the school, they’d pretty much perfected it, but you being here made him nervous as fuck. He knew what he was doing, they all did, but he still missed the first note of their first song because his eyes were glued to you.
Somehow, he made it through their show, and even managed to look at other people apart from you, but in the end, his eyes always found you again. Your smile encouraged him, so when they started the last song, his eyes never wavered from your figure.
“I’ve got it bad, so bad, I’m hot for teacher,” he sang, and he could swear that he saw your eyes widening at that. You knew the song, of course you did, but Eddie singing this song for you made you tingle in all the right places. For a moment, you were able to forget that this could not happen, too blissed out on the feeling he gave you by singing this song for you.
Still, once it was over, you felt your chest tighten, all of it suddenly too much, the room too hot, and so you turned to Sandy.
“I’m gonna get some fresh air. Need to clear my head a little.”
“Want me to come with you?”
“No, it’s fine. I’ll be back in a minute.” You gave her a smile before you headed out the back door. The cold January air hitting your face, making you aware that you’d forgotten your jacket inside. It didn’t really matter because you were just out here for a moment. There were some other people around the corner talking loudly, so you weren’t completely alone, but you were still able to clear your head. At least until you heard the door behind you and saw Eddie walk up to you when you turned around.
“You okay?” He asked, brows drawn together, because he was worried about you.
“Yeah, don’t worry. Just a little hot in there.”
“And now you’re freezing out here?” He couldn’t help but smile as he ran his fingertips along your arm, making you aware of the goosebumps that were there due to the low temperatures, but were only getting worse when he was touching you like this.
“Here…” Eddie shrugged out of his leather jacket and draped it over your shoulders, leaving him in a black shirt. His hair was damp with sweat, the curls clinging to his forehead.
“No, Eddie… What about you?” You looked at him through your lashed, already feeling your heart begin to race again, the butterflies turning into a whole tornado in your stomach by being so close to him.
“Oh, I know a way or two to get warm.” His voice dropped to a low rumble in his chest, and you could feel his eyes on your lips. That was the moment when you should pull back, put some distance between you, but you couldn’t. You were frozen in place, stuck in this moment with him, and you couldn’t tear yourself away from him - because you didn’t want to. Instead, when he pinched your chin between his thumb and pointer finger, you leaned into him to meet him halfway. Still, when his lips met yours, it felt like electricity suddenly ran through your whole body, down to your toes, into every fibre of your body.
Your fingers curled against his chest, grabbing a handful of his shirt when he angled his head to deepen the kiss. His hand slipped from your chin to the back of your neck, tilting your head to his pleasing so that your lips opened up beneath him and he could slip his tongue past them to taste your mouth. He wrapped his free arm around you to pull you closer.
You couldn’t stop yourself from moaning into his mouth, because it felt so good, he felt so good and tasted even sweeter. When he eventually pulled back, he left you breathless, longing for more, and your head felt almost empty. It was perfect.
You blinked your eyes open, slowly letting go of his shirt. You could feel his heartbeat beneath your hands, that was beating as fast as your own.
“You believe me now that I’m serious about this? About you?” Eddie cupped your cheek, running his thumb over your cheekbone, eyes fixed on yours, trying to convey that he was absolutely sincere in his intentions.
“That’s not it, Eds…” The fog in your head slowly cleared, and you started to realise what had just happened. Panic started rising in your chest and you quickly broke the embrace, took a step back from him.
“Here we go..” Eddie mumbled, cursing himself for believing just for a moment that this could have a good ending, that you could commit to him. In a way, he understood you, but his longing for you overshadowed all his rational thinking.
“We can’t do this! This…” You shook your head, licking your slightly swollen lips that bore witness to what had just happened. “We cannot happen. We have to forget about this.”
“So, you’re not even giving this a chance?”
“That’s not it, Eddie, I already told you!” Oh, you wanted to give it a chance, give him a chance, because that kiss had already sent you to heaven. “But we can’t! This cannot happen again. Not as long as I’m your teacher!” 
At that, Eddie’s ears perked up. “So… once you’re not my teacher anymore… we do have a chance, right?” “What?”
“That’s what you said, didn’t you?”
“I mean… yes. But I’ll be here for the rest of the year.”
“And I’ll graduate then. So I won’t be your student no matter what happens.”
“Well… that might be true, but…”
“Alright. Just can’t promise you that I won’t try now and then.” The way Eddie smirked at you made you press your legs together. He really had an effect on you that nobody else ever had.
“Just… this cannot happen again.”
“Okay.”
“Do you hear me, Mr Munson?”
“I do.” But the grin on his face told you that he wasn’t exactly listening to what you were saying. This wasn’t going to be easy at all.
“Good.” There was no use in trying to talk to him right now. Not when his eyes roamed your body again and his hands reached for yours. But this time, your head was clear enough to pull back from him, put some distance between you. “Thank you for this.” You took off his jacket and handed it back to him, before you slowly back up towards the door again. “I’ll see you in class.”
“Have a good night Miss Y/L/N.” Eddie said with a wink, arms crossed over his chest, while his eyes dropped to the swell of your butt when you turned around to open the door.
That was really going to be a long couple of months until the school year was over, and as much as you just wanted to forget about it, you knew that what had just happened would fuel a lot of dreams. At least, you could talk to Sandy about it, because she knew what had happened the moment she saw you come back through the door. Eddie would be your downfall, you were sure of that.

You asked for asks and I have answered!
Your turn to answer now (but no pressure, dw if you don't want to or can't :))
So, idea by my friendo @eahravinqueen:
Villain doesn’t realize their feelings for Hero and is convinced that Hero’s got some mind powers or some magic spell that makes it hard for people to think ish.
Fluffy and sfw please! Awesome if it's funny too!
Love,
@heroes-villains-side-blog
Ahhhhhhh, the way my heart started thumping when I saw this. It may not be exactly what you asked for (or anywhere near it lol) but I hope you like it!
Bewitched
The pyjama clad criminal stood in front of the carved door, chest heaving from their mile run to the forest. Villain was going to ruin their future plans, they knew that, but they had to ensure that the events that occurred recently would never repeat again.
It had been a normal day, some kidnapping here, some threatening there and then voila it was nighttime already. They were lounging comfortably on their couch, flicking through the tv when a dagger had shown up in a horror show advertisement.
And curse them, their first thought was that Hero would like this.
They didn’t even know why Hero of all people had popped up into their mind but from then their mind had escalated and they couldn’t stop thinking about Hero’s perfect lips and how their hands felt from the brief touches and holy shit, they felt like they were on fire and—
Villain was getting carried away.
The point was that these intrusive thoughts had become too intrusive. They were interfering with their evil plans for god’s sake and Villain couldn’t let themselves get any more distracted.
Especially by Hero’s little smile
They cleared their throat, effectively dismissing the thought and lifted their fist to knock. Apparently the first three times hadn’t been enough.
“Looking for someone?”
Villain whipped around at the whisper near their neck. The fuming words on their tongue died down as soon as they looked over at Hero. They were wearing simple nightclothes but god they looked so beautiful.
No. Stop.
With great difficulty, they pried their eyes off Hero’s body and reached up to meet their face. The crime-stopper’s eyes were glistening with obvious amusement but Villain pretended they didn’t notice.
“You!” They pointed an accusing finger at Hero’s chest.
“Me.” Unfaded delight was evident in their voice.
”You sorcerer! You’ve done something to my brain and I demand you fix it right now.”
Hero seemed unfazed by them, as if having a random outburst was part of Villain’s daily routine. They continued twirling the rose in their hands that they got from god knows where, “I’m afraid I have no clue as to what you’re talking about.”
“You know what I’m talking about.”
“Mmm. No.” The smirk and the fake obliviousness. The smug little bastard knew exactly what Villain was referring to.
They took a deep breath, trying to rein in their anger but one look at Hero’s smirk and the words came spilling out.
“You know, the butterflies and the anxiety and the wanting to see you every minute. How I can think about nothing but you and what your favourite colour is and whether you’ve had dinner or not. I dont know if you plan to give me a heart attack with the racing heartbeat or something but you’ve poisoned my mind with your existence and I beg you,” They paused to take a breath, their next words coming out in a whisper. “Stop with the enchantment.”
As they recovered from their rant, Villain noticed that Hero was immobilised, the eyes that so often appeared in their dreams staring at them in shock.
“You…you said what.”
“You didn’t hear what I said?” Villain’s energy drained with the thought of having to monologue again but then Hero shook their head.
“I heard what you said. Loud and clear, but Villain,” Their grey eyes flicked to them, gleaming with earnestness,” I didn’t put a spell on you.”
And that’s when Villain realised they screwed up.
“You—no. No, you must have. You had to have or else.” They paused before their mind could come up with the horrible alternative.
Hero, apparently, didn’t mind acknowledging the elephant in the room. “Villain, have you ever considered the fact that maybe you have feelings for me that aren’t influenced by my powers?”
“No! Absolutely not, you dingbat. How could I? how could you? There’s no way. Nope, nada. There must be a glitch in the system or someth—“
Hero grabbed their chin, forcing them to stop their rambling. Villain caught note of their grin and barely managed to predict the words before Hero started talking.
“So,” they drawled, finger beginning to trace their jaw, “it seems like someone’s got a secret crush on me.”
They grinned and Villain could feel the burning in their cheeks, “I’ll show you what being under a spell is really like.”

1k event Masterlist
Genre: Fluff, Drabble
Written for GN!Mc (they/them)
WC: ~600
CW:  Barbatos is a bit over-protective and possessive, Some flirting that could be interpreted as harassment? but noting too terrible, maybe some Barbatos pining because there is no specific declaration of a relationship here lol
Barbatos smiled to himself, seeing Mc approaching distance. They waved excitedly at him, and he felt himself grow even more eager to spend a day at the market together. Barbatos snaked his way through the dense crowd, looking for whoever was escorting Mc today. To his shock, no one was near them that he could see. 
“Good morning, Mc.” Barbatos greeted them with a subtle bow. “May I ask where the brothers are?” 
“I thought it was just you and me today, Barb.” They tilt their head in confusion, eyes glistening in the light just so. He felt his chest tingle with butterflies at the sight, but held down his emotions to address his more pressing concern. 
“You came alone then? Should you not have someone else along with you to ensure your safety?”
They smile warmly. “Well, it wasn’t a far walk. And besides, I didn’t want anyone to ruin our day out together. I’ve been excited about this for weeks!” 
Barbatos couldn’t resist the urge to smile, a blush spreading across his cheeks and ears at Mc’s elation to be with him- and only him. His movements were almost involuntary as he snaked his arm around theirs, interlacing his fingers between theirs snuggly. 
“I suppose that’s true- I will be here to offer any protection you need, Mc.” Barbatos leaned in, his breath tickling their ears gently. “Just don’t let go- I wouldn’t want to lose you, now.” 
Mc grinned, squeezing his hand tighter as they began walking around the market. They excitedly pointed out ingredients from the human world that Barbatos was sure to be a master at preparing, and soon had their free arms filled with various goods. The last stand was Barbatos’ favorite, and he hoped to gain insight into your tea preferences by having you converse with the vendor. He watched silently as the demon asked you questions about flavor notes, secretly collecting each herbs mentioned as you sampled different teas. 
After gathering the herbs in a small bag and tossing a few grimm to the vendor, he reached for your hand again and turned to leave. However, the gruff voice from the vendor stopped him in his tracks. 
“Leaving so soon, eh?” He let out a deep chuckle, leaning across the wooden counter. “I was just getting acquainted with yer cute lil’ friend ‘ere, Barbatos. Stay a bit longer to chat, will ye?” 
Barbatos turned on his heel quickly, his face hot with irritation at how he was referring to Mc. The words that fell from his lips were laced with venom. “My apologies, but we really must be going. Mc doesn’t have time for such simple pleasantries.” 
The vendor gulped, seeing Barbatos’ sinister smile that told him he had crossed a line. He nodded, offering a goodbye before distracting himself with restocking his herbs. Barbatos felt the tension release as he walked away with you, his grip on your hand loosening slightly. A small giggle from your direction caught his attention and he turned to look at you. You looked at him, sweet doe eyes seeming to absorb more light than before, producing what was almost like shimmering stairs in your irises. 
He felt his face warm once again as you offered a teasing remark to how thankful you were to have him to protect you from evil tea vendors. He wanted to offer a remark back, but could not find the words. The urge to protect you, even in a situation with no danger present, was so strong- perhaps he should consider what this feeling may mean to his future.
