❝I get it... kinda. Before my sister helped free the Isles, there were only like... nine, I think? Nine different "covens" someone was allowed to practice magic in. And it might have been an actually helpful way to categorize magic types, had the guy who invented it not been a total tool,❞ Vee all but spat the last word, ❝now, anyone can practice anything they want, but a lot of the older people who had stayed in a certain coven for their whole lives are kinda... struggling,❞ she explained, face going pensive, ❝'cause they've never known any different.❞

Ooh, they wanted to know more about color, huh?

She pursed her lips, trying to figure out how to explain it in laymans terms. ❝Oh man... uh, hmm... okay, so we learn in our younger years at school about this thing called the electromagnetic spectrum. It's a bunch of... waves, basically? Ranging from long,❞ she demonstrated with her hands, ❝to short. And in the middle of it is the spectrum of light that we can see.❞ She paused to make sure they were still following.

❝Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.❞ She continued. ❝Those are the main colors of light. You can combine them to get other colors too. But uh... not trying to talk your ears off, it's just interesting you guys can see what I think is red a lot... maybe it's because of where it is, in the very beginning of the light spectrum? I... dunno if that actually makes any sense.❞ She confessed, scratching the back of her head.

She shrugged when they asked how long it could take. ❝For more experienced witches? It can be instant or almost instant...❞ she hesitated, wanting to demonstrate but also not wanting to overdo it and shift enough to freak them out. Glancing down at her hands, her eyes lit up. Oh! That would be simple enough.

❝Like... this.❞ She continued, holding a hand up and shifting her nails to be longer, more pointed, the exact shape her claws were naturally. Admittedly, she had done this once before, when Masha asked her to come get a manicure because they had a gift card to a local place that had just opened.

❝Since it's pretty powerful stuff, usually kids don't start to really learn shapeshifting until they're a little older- too much risk of them hurting themselves,❞ she began, grimacing at the memory of a story she was once told, ❝my friend told me that one time, a girl accidentally shapeshifted her mouth off.❞

Vee gave an exasperated sigh accompanied by a nod of the head in agreement with their surprise. ❝I love her, but I really don't know how she's still kicking.❞

They shrugged. "It's not really that important, honestly? Everything is shades to us, instead of color. It's just normal."

"Huh. Interesting . . ." They were learning about color! It hadn't interested them much before it became relevant in the loops, but now they had a mild curiosity about it. Especially with someone who could actually see them.

Huh, maybe they should write this all down at some point so, should they ever make their way back to the others, they could give them more information . . . They were sure at least some of them would be interested.

"Is it?" they asked curiously. Wait, actually, "What do you mean by that, exactly?"

Oh, interesting. "How long does it usually take, then, without that training and experience? Body Craft can take up to a month, and I think I remember hearing somewhere that it used to take up to a year until recently . . . ?"

Loop blinked. "Stars, your sister did?" What was it with powerful tyrants with magic only some people had access to that could only be defeated by said kind of magic? "You were not kidding about the kinds of things she gets into, huh?" Someone like that definitely could have accidentally made a wish powerful enough to drag them over here.

Hey 🤭

Could you write about Ron, Neville or Enoch please? (Ps. I’m a sucker for friends tolovers 🤫)

I've finally written something for neville!! (Surprising it took so long because he was my og favorite) Thank you for the request🫶

Neville longbottom x fem!reader

"Neville!" You shout. The messy haired boy walking a few feet in front of you flinches and turns around at the sound of his name. You aren't quite mad, just confused and disappointed, but you sure sound mad. He has this guilty look in his eyes, and you can see his lower lip quivering slightly. It was something that happened when he was nervous. You felt a pang of guilt, but it's quickly replaced by more disappointment as you notice him heading to the exit, most definitely going to escape to the greenhouse as he'd done all week. Usually he'd bring you, he'd pick you up after class and walk you down, allowing you to sit with him while he tended to his plants. You were the only one who was willing to do it after all. You had tons of friends, he only has Seamus and Dean, maybe luna. But none quite cared enough to visit while he was working on his plants. Even so, the two of you were absolute best friends. You were understanding and patient with him, while he was a good listener and quite interesting underneath all of his nervous energy. You were perfect for eachother. You loved everything about him, how could you not? He was always there, he was so incredibly sweet, and quite handsome too. And quite honestly, that made you feel even more betrayed by his absence. Neville stood and waited for you to catch up to him as he fiddled with his sleeves.

"Where are you going?" You ask, trying to keep the hurt out of your tone, but your tone still coming out sharp.

He hesitates before replying with merely a whisper, "the greenhouse," he looks even more guilty now, he couldn't even reach your eyes, he stood and stared at his feet as if he was being scolded.

It broke your heart to see him look like that, especially because of you.

"Without me again?" You ask, your voice now dropping to a low disappointed tone.

He continues staring at his feet, still not talking above a whisper, "do you want to come with me?"

You feel your heart jump, part of you was hesitant because he only asked when you confronted him, but you hadnt confronted him for nothing, so you agree.

And he walks with you down to the greenhouse, neither of you speak until you start nearing the greenhouse and you hear him mumble something. He looks sort of embarrassed.

"What was that neville?" You ask.

He swallows hard before replying, "please don't laugh"

You glance at him confused, had he done something bad?

"At what?" You ask

He doesn't respond as he opens the door to the greenhouse, still avoiding eye contact. And you're met with the sight of multiple pots of your favorite flowers, all ones you had described to him from the muggle world. It was beautiful, some of them weren't bloomed yet, but it was still as beautiful as ever. And now you realize why he hadn't been inviting you. It must've been a surprise.

"You did this neville? How?" You ask in awe.

"I scoured hogsmeade for seeds last weekend, I've been working real hard on them" he responds, sounding unsure of himself.

You dont even know what to say, it was the nicest thing anyone had ever done for you. You hadnt seen any of these flowers in so long, not since you visited your parents last year. Your mother was a muggle gardener, she owned a shop where you'd spent most of your childhood. You can feel tears forming in your eyes.

"I'm sorry!" He spurts out, having seen your watering eyes.

You don't respond, instead you pull him into a tight hug, burying your face in his chest. He hesitates for a moment before hugging back. After a few moments you recollect yourself and pull away, going to inspect the flowers. They were all perfectly healthy, thriving. Neville trails behind you, watching you closely.

"I wanted to surprise you, I'm sorry i stopped inviting you without telling you" he says sheepishly. You shake your head in response, "no Neville, this is beautiful, thank you"

You pick up one of the pots, inhaling the beautiful scent of the flower inside when you spot a crumpled piece of paper hidden behind where the pot had been sitting. You reach for it and pick it up. Although you can't see, he's standing just behind you, and his eyes widen when he realizes what the paper is. But it's too late to stop you, you had already opened it and started reading.

I hope that she likes the flowers, she had always talked about these. They're just a beautiful as she described. Almost as perfect as she is. Shes just so sweet and she's always there for me. I love everything about her, her hair, her eyes, the way she smile as she talks about the things she loves, her voice, her lips look so soft, I could go on for hours. I would give anything to tell her, to kiss her, to hold her hand, I'm just so scared of ruining our friendship. I don't know how I'd handle myself if she found out and never spoke to me again. I guess maybe it is better just to keep it in my diary rather than tell her. Although I wonder what it would be like to be her boyfriend instead. Or even her husband someday. We'd have a beautiful wedding, filled with flowers. .. I'm getting too ahead of myself, I can't even ask her on a date. Forget it.

Neville stood frozen as you read, too nervous to stop you. His face growing redder by the second in embarrassment.

By the time you were done, your heart was racing. This must've been a diary page he discarded and forgot to throw out. You felt kind of bad for reading it, but on the other hand, he LIKES YOU BACK? you turn to see him, he's so red you could've thought he got horribly sunburnt. His lower lip was quivering worse than you'd ever seen. He was paralyzed, watching you with almost blank eyes.

"Neville! It's okay, let's talk" you say gently. He takes a deep breath and starts chewing on his lower lip, clearly preparing himself for the worst.

"Stop chewing on your lip for a second nev" you say softly as you step closer to him. You watches you closely and stops chewing on his lip, his face somehow going redder. You place your hands on his shoulders and lean in, "is this okay?" you whisper as you glance between his lips and his eyes. He swallows hard and nods, leaning in slightly as well. You close the distance, closing your eyes as you press your lips against his. It's a bit awkward at first, he's clearly never kissed anyone before. But after a moment he gets the hang of it, and wraps his arms around your waist to pull you against his body, his lips finding rhythm with yours. He was so gentle with you, it was quite endearing. When you finally pull away, he looks completely starstruck.

After he catches his breath, he whispers the words you've been wanting to hear for forever,

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

Idea for a little Cucuhalo fic/au. Ok hear me out:

Roommates/Office au

So, I haven't fully fleshed out the details yet, but Cucurucho as a rich boss that owns some kind of company and Bad is an employee that just moved from somewhere and started working in his company not too long ago. They try to get along... well enough in the office, albeit there's some tension and passive aggression between them.

Their co-workers love to gossip about them because it looks like there's something going on between the two, but it's all speculation for them. What they don't know is Bad and Cucurucho are actually secretly roommates, and they "hate" each other even more outside of the office.

Cucurucho has a cat that Bad wasn't initially fond of named Emotional Support (they're actually raising that cat like it's their baby lols) because Bad is more a dog person, but Cucurucho insisted on getting a cat as a pet. That's only one of their roommate quarrels. Most of the time they are extremely passive aggressive, and do things like, idk, not washing the other person's dishes lmao.

Despite how much they claim to hate each other, neither want to leave because "it's easier to share rent" or "no one would take care of Emotional Support when the other person is busy", some kind of excuse like that. But really, it's because they do enjoy having each other around, and sometimes, they have nice dinners and movie nights together. Then they fall asleep on their couch and wake up entangled, but neither wants to admit they were literally cuddling the night before. They are so attached to each other, but no one wants to say it out loud.

Basically this au is me wanting Cucuhalo office and roommate drama with a dash of sexual tension and long-term denial, romantic comedy sitcom style.

- alchemicaladarna

WAITTTT REAL

I love them living together and making up excuses to do so....

"Its expensive to live alone" "Emotional support is already so attached to him itd be mean to take her away from him" "We bought the furniture in a way that would make it weird for us to move out" (bad bought both the beds, or the one bed hayoooo, cucurucho bought like 20% of the spices and condiments, they dont feel like splitting up the furniture is what im getting at) "Theres no available housing in any areas id want to live in" etc. etc. any excuse to stay together even though to everyone else it seems like theyre at eachothers throats all the time!!

I think the way the workers would find out is a couple of them getting invited over. Like after a night out, one of them cant find a ride home so bad (resident guy who doesnt drink) offers to let them sleep on his couch for the night, and the next morning they wake up to arguing. They sit up on the couch and over the back of it who should they see in the kitchen together but CUCURUCHO and BADBOYHALO who are arguing because bad didnt ask before inviting said coworker over!! They kiss and make up (either metaphorically or literally) and cucurucho lets it go for now and sneaks off back to his (possibly their) room so he isnt caught and has bad send the coworker out as soon as they wake up. The coworker doesnt say anything about seeing cucurucho right then... but later on cucurucho and bad hear a lot of whispering that gets suddenly quiet when they walk by, and then it continues when they walk past.... more so than usual!!! And they dont think too much of it, but then someone comes up to bad's desk one day or approaches him in the hallway or by the water cooler and goes "so.. you and cucurucho, huh??"

(and then they realize bad's not the one to approach because hes very aloof and wouldnt pick up on the implications that the coworker would be dropping.. but theyre too afraid to go ask cucurucho about it for fear of getting chainsaw'd LMAO)

SHOUT OUT TO THE "ONLY ONE BED" TROPE, WE COULD DO SO MUCH WITH IT!!!

Request for anon- HC's for Class 1-A with a student native to the American south

Aha as a southerner, babe i got you

• The only reason that you're there is bc you had a connection to allmight. You were the sister of one of his friends from his study abroad in America and you needed help w your quirk.

• You had a strange quirk- it dealt with plants but it seemed to have a spiritual undertone- when you got upset enough and your emotions over took you, you'd go into a state of destruction.

• So obviously, uncle All might was all over it.

• You don't take the entrance exam which was a Bummer bc you wanted too

• Anyway, class A's ???

• You're introduced to class 1-A, All nights smile is wide and you wave shyly.

• You're a fucking phenomenon to them

• Your accent for one affects the way you speak Japanese- it makes it a little hard to understand you but they lowkey adored it

• Ahaha them tutoring you bc you butch so many words in Japanese

• You get accepted into the Bakusquad bc they, Mina specifically, wants to know everything about your state

• Mina will repeat your phrases she heard you say 'If you don start listening, I'm gonna take you behind and whip your tail' on the phone and repeats it during fights.

- 'HA! Kirishima I'm gonna whip your tail'

• You are SO proud

• You spit out pet names like it's no bug deal because that's just how it is in the south

• You call Mina Sugar once, her knees buckled under her and she had to sit down for a moment and just think about life for a sec

• You call people babe without really thinking about it- a habit that you've been trying to break but it's so hard.

• You do it without realizing and whoever it is will go so red in the face jfc

• They like making inside jokes based on how you talk

• Will call eachother 'Darlin' and 'sugar' after hearing you say it when you walk in a room

• You get sent 'care packages' by your brother, which consists of your favorite drinks and snacks that are only sold in the US (Aka cheerwhine ((which is only sold in the south, I've yet to see a cheerwhine in the north rip)) or Sweet tea and junk like that)

• You end up sharing some of it with the Bakusquad

• Not too much bc you live off this

• Kaminari made the mistake of taking a cheerwhine without asking you once

- 'Well I didn't want it to hurt us and I dont want us to hurt it.'

- 'you could've moved it with a stick?'

- 'but it was no big deal picking it up, no problem.'

• They think that the entire south is gun totin, cowboy hat wearing, tan people and you have to explain that you've met some of the dumbest- city folk in the south

- Imagine the confusion when your brother sends you a fucking cowboy hat bruh

• They're SCREAMING with laughter

• You do not live it down

• They notice how you tend to hang around with the other American students and you're always a lot louder and touch with them

• Cue meeting in 1-A bc they think you're not comfortable enough w them

• You are but you dont want to overstep boundaries and do something wrong, you haven't quite grasped the culture yet

• Its not like many of them care, with all the near death experience they all have their own cuddle groups, even the more quiet ones

• You have to reassure them that it's not anything against them- you're just trying not to overstep

• They think its sweet

• Even though you're an honorary member of the Bakusquad, you still have relations with the Deku squad (forbidden I know)

• Bc obviously Deku wants to know everything about you and you're there a lot w him and all might anyway, so besties

• ITS A KNOWN FACT THAT SOUTHERN WOMEN HAVE THE VOICE AND THE LOOK

• Someone starts acting up? You give them the look. They dont take the hint? You use the momma voice and that usually shuts em up.

• You go with Deku and them to get Katsuki when he's kidnapped.

• This man hugs 2 people when no one is looking- after they get back.

• You and Kirishima.

• he won't talk about it though. He's still trying to keep his image.

• Aizawa takes it upon himself to teach you more about Japan when All might can't (after all he is a very busy man)

• He teaches you more about culture, boundaries, food- all that good junk

• The first time he see's you actually flip out is when the LOV attacked the training camp. Your eyes started glowing and he knew then just what All might had been talking about

• It seemed to be a little better- your friends weren't in immediate danger- but the villains in front of you were so lucky. Neither was the land around you.

• It wasnt horrible, seeing as your quirk was literally plants, but there were some broken trees and damaged rock.

• He'll also train with you, focus on breathing and meditation techniques.

• Leads you to get close with Shinsou

• Will you steal his jackets? Yes.

• But he takes some of your snacks (Kaminari feels BETRAYED)

What about an scenario about Kai thinking on proposing and struggling with how to do it, cuz he wants it be perfect

Of course!

"No. Horrific." He shook his head at his mind daring to think on such a terrible idea as he threw the paper on the nearby trash can on his office.

If he knew that preparing to proposing to someone was that hard, he would've had started to think about the issue right when he started to date you, because hole hell. It was harder then he thought.

And he was struggling with this shit for at least three weeks.

For something, or better yet, someone to get his attention and respect was extremely rare. And only one case in his all twenty something years of life was the special kind, the one who he had allowed to open up about his past and didn't judged him, the one who could atture and even came to love him for exactly what he was, despite having all his radical thoughts and issues like his mysophobia and... mental problems if you could even call it like that?

An angel that came from above to give his life some light and what he never thought he would have wanted neither need it at some point. Love and care.

You, a quirkless person who he always insisted that you were pure. An example for this sick society to follow, not to exclude like you were the wrong here.

He despised those type of people. How could they not see it that you were the original and right type of human? The one that wasn't sick like the others?

Ignoring all of that. After some years of knowing eachother, passing through good and bad, he had came to an thought some months ago that it wasn't leaving his head, no matter how hard he tried... until one day he simply gave up, and accepted it.

"I want (Y/n) to be mine. For life."

He remember those words he said to himself clear as the bright day outside. The realization took some time, but it hitted him like a train would. He truly loved you, only having you as a partner wasn't "enough", no. He felt the urge to have something, to prove to you and the world that you were his...

And for the first time in his life, he would say without a problem that he belonged to someone as well, even having his possessive habbits.

You were just like the moon and the clear night sky filled with stars for him. Despite the darkest and the most cold that the night can bring, they were always there to lead the human kind to safety directions.

... see? He thought on all of that. But he couldn't say it out loud. And that shit sounded way too cliche to propose to someone.

"Night sky? Fucking pathetic." He burried his face in his hands to growl freely on them before sighing and laying back on his chair.

Worst. The worst were the hardest, yes. But how the fuck should he do it in the first place? Just kneel on some dirty ground and say shit? On where? When?

He felt like he was going insane. He was always so serious and intelligent, always quick to make decisions. But this time? He felt for once pathetic.

He cant even think on where or how to propose to his loved one, what the actual hell?

"Sorry for the news boss. But those papers are from the other... you good?" He heard Kurono and Irinaka's voices and he grunted before standing up.

"Those are from rivals or allies?" He asked nonchantly as he grabbed the papers and read them cautiously with eyes full of disinterest and boredom.

"Allies." Kurono answered back before looking at the trash can filled with what was once papers "You were working on something?"

"None of your interest." He sighed and gave the papers back to Mimic "Return them to their owners, this doesn't have my interest and I have no time to waste on filth garbage like those."

Mimic nodded and left... but Kurono remained on the room. Catching a glimpse of what the messy papers were written and catching immediately what was going on.

And he felt nostalgia. Back to those days where he teased Kai freely. He could die that he wouldn't care, this was gold.

Chisaki looked at him with a arched eyebrow as he took of his mask and showed a smirk to him, the young head of the Shie Hassaikai already not liking one bit that face that smug bastard was doing it.

"Never took you to be the type of wanting to get married."

"... you son of a-"

"Relax! Relax!" Kurono dodged one attack of Kai and sighed in relief at not being killed by that spike Chisaki had just created. Bit still was chuckling "Is just surprinsing to see a guy who always claimed taht love didn't existed and DESPISE even the concept of touch wanting to get married."

"This has nothing of your interest, get out of my sign before I-"

"And you seem troublesome with that, judging by the amount of discarded papers, which by the way are not-" in one second he was overhauled and came back to look at a very infuriated Kai right in front of him.

"One more word that I will kill you for real and dont return back." He growled as Kurono smirked.

"Right, I will stop." Chisaki scoffed and went back to sitting on his desk with a huff but only burried his head on his gloved hands again as he stared at the blank paper in front of him.

"... If this is about (Y/n) accepting or not, they are crazy for you Kai. The least they could say is to wait a bit, but surely will accept." He tried to say something as Kai only sighed and pointed at no where while pinching the bridge of his nose.

"I have no idea why I am talking with out of all people this, but this is one of many of my issues about this."

"So there is more?"

"Much. First is that I have no fucking idea how to do it."

It was silence for a bit until Chisaki noticed how Kurono's eyes were wide open in shock, he arched an eyebrow as a silent question for him to explain his reaction.

"You? The most rational and strategist around here? Doesn't have a plan to propose?" He send a dark glare at Kurono as the man winced and rubbed the back of his head "Man, than the situation is critical."

"I apreciate the words Chronostasis. Really." He said in venom sarcasm before sighing again.

"You really dont have any ideas? Like, at all?" He shook his head and Kurono brought his hand to his chin in thought before snapping his fingers "Thought about asking advice to Pops?"

"You're kidding?" He glared at Kurono "The old man won't never leave down this one, and probably will be sappy shit."

"... doesn't you and (Y/n) do 'sappy shit' all the time?" He lifted his hand sup in surrender at Kai's death glare "No offense, but ever heard of 'the thought that it counts'? (Y/n) is not a person that is difficult to impress and enjoy the simple things. You know that better than anyone else in here dude."

"Of course I do, who do you take me for?" He asked in anger before sighing and looking down with a frown at the blank paper "... but they are not simple. (Y/n) made a drastic change in my life... so no one can't blame me for wanting and craving a unforgettable and memorable moment. I... I simply want to give (Y/n)-" Kurono widen his eyes at the way his cold childhood friend softened his usual murderous golden eyes at the mention of your name "The best. The best proposal, the best life, the best memories... I want this to be flawless, something that they can't look back and say 'it could have been-'. I want that neither os us have any regrets on this decision. Like the nowadays, where I dont have any regrets o entering on a relationship for the first time."

He lifted his head and found Hari looking at him with a smirk and he immediately scowled at it.

"Then I guess asking for some advice from the old man, despite hearing the no endless teasing would be worth it?" He tilted his head as Chisaki seemed in deep in thought "You got the help and service of all the yakusa, so you just need a plan. If you may allow, we will offer assistance and follow your orders."

He hated to admit that the blockhead was right. Absolutely despised it.

"... I guess."

Soon the door opened and the said so old man arched an eyebrow at the boys he raised in the same room and looking so serious but yet... like it wasn't a meeting neither business issue?

"Mind the both telling me what is going on?"

"Chisaki is thinking on proposing to (Y/n)." Kurono said nonchantly and dodged another attack of Kai.

"You disgusting piece of fucking-!"

"You are?" The elder asked in a certain serious tone, looking straight at Chisaki soul, catching him completely out of guard by his look.

"Is it a issue?" He remained his composture and uncaring look, but his nerves were starting to grow a bit at the thought that his mentor didn't approve it.

The man looked up and down at Chisaki before speaking in the same serious tone.

"Marriage is not only about claiming someone as yours Chisaki. Is about to care and vow even yourself for your partner. Protection, trust, respect are always the main pillars of having on a relationship and marriage." He turned hsi whole body to be in front of Chisaki as he spoke eyes to eye with him "Cases of the person who had their firts relationship and marriages are rare, but not impossible. Those are the ones we have to be extremely careful with. Now... knowing you in the way I do, answer me with pure bold honesty like you always did-"

The room went silent and even Kurono seemed uncomfortable at Pops seriousness, really considering on tip toeing out of the room.

"Do you really want this? What exactly brought you to this decision?"

Chisaki stared nonchantly at his mentor before sighing.

"What brought me for this decision was how and only (Y/n) makes me feel. The only thoughts I have before them were merely focused on rage towards my disgusting past, my hatred towards the heroes and how should I pay you for such kindness for taking me in.... with (Y/n) although I did not felt like a empty shell, I felt... I feel alive."

The elder hummed and asked one more last question.

"And you love (Y/n)? Enough to spend the rest of your life with them?"

"... I would crawl to hell and get back to earth if it meant I can see that smile and joy on my angel's face."

The elder chuckled lowly before patting Chisaki's shoulder, surprising the said man.

"Then you have my back Chisaki. And my blessing." He patted his head harshly out of sudden, causing Chisaki to growl and scoot away "And I heard you are struggling, I will give you some advice."

"I didn't ask for any of-"

"Bullshit." Chisaki deadpanned at the old man's vulgar vocabulary "If you're going to propose them you're doing it right."

He was in hell... why couldn't he had avoided all of this by merely thinking of something? Curse him and his brain.

"Am I interrupting something?" That voice right now was the last one he needed to hear.

"Angel, is actually-"

"(Y/N) my dear. Mind accompanying Kurono to grab some groceries?" Pops said suddenly and uncaringly "We are out of those. And I need to have a word with Chisaki."

"We are? Oh." Kurono muttered before going to the door frame "Yeah we are."

"But-"

"I will own you one my dear, dont be late."

"Pops I swear to god-" Chisaaki started to growl but the sound of Chrono closing the door caused his eye to twitch in irritation.

"So. Any ideas that crossed your mind?" The order spoke and chisaki only deadpanned at him "Cleary not apparently."

Someone, any divine creature... free him from his hell hole. Please.

One Guy, One Girl, One Voice, One Song...

Song used: Hey Bartender by Lady Antebellum

pairing: Chris Evans x Reader

summery: after 2 years of helping out in a bar in Brooklyn, certain advantages pay you a visit... you get free shots and good tips but you also get to sing openly for a while on karaoke nights... the crowd favorite is you and your voice... but what happens when your voice catches the ear of someone returning to Brooklyn and he catches your eye...

Masterlist

you were 2 years living in Brooklyn, you knew what happened to those who didnt work, they didnt end up living very well... you had found a nice bartending job in brooklyn the first day you were there... but the best day of your life was just starting...

it was well known and lots of famous people came there so often you had the pleasure of being asked to sing on Karaoke night... you were the crowd favorite, it also brought in extra tips and cash for you... 

there were nights where it was just you working the bar so when you were sure the crowd was good for a few minutes you would go up and sing... 

your boss loved you for the fact that you could handle the busy times without complaint... there was a feeling you had in your stomach... one that right as soon as one shift ended would disappear and recently you were attracted to one particular song... every chance you got you had it playing... your voice could be heard with it...

your boss most days would just leave the instrumentals playing just so the bar could hear you sing... even when it wasnt karaoke night, he would just listen to you sing to instrumentals... you arrive at work one afternoon to do some 

Garry: “Y/N tonight is karaoke night, i have reserved you a few spots... and room for someone to join you on stage for a random duet...”

Y/N: “righteo boss...”

Garry: “dont worry you will rock the house, you always do...”

Y/N: “thanks boss i just have a weird feeling about tonight... then again it could have something to do with this...”

you remove your shawl to reveal this over your heart, your boss looks at it and looks around...

Garry: “thats over your heart right...”

Y/N: “ya and it only appeared just recently, thats why this side has been covered but something inside me leaps when i sing, its like someone else can hear me, that isnt around me...”

Garry: “if you start feeling that type of feeling tonight on stage you have my permission to call intermission... if you feel it necessary...”

Y/N: “thanks Garry, now go to your meeting, ive got things handled here...”

Garry: “thanks Y/N your a doll...”

you smile as you hang your shawl in the back, you sling on your apron and start cleaning the glasses... you start humming as you do that, you have a good feeling about this night...

~meanwhile at an apartment just a few blocks out~

Chris was just getting back into town from filming Avengers Infinity war... he wanted to go out and see if the bar just down the street was still doing karaoke nights... of course he had heard the singing, he had heard everything, he knew he had to find his answers... 

Chris (to self): “the singing, the tattoo that showed up, the same thing that showed up the same day the singing started... i just hope that i can find some answers...”

Steve took a few steps out of his apartment, forsaking his jacket he left his apartment, making his way down the street to the bar where he would soon realize that the bartender that he would be falling for, is the girl with the voice...

Chris walks through the door and up to the counter where you are just pouring yourself a shot...

Chris: “May i join you?”

You look up at him and realize who is standing right in front of you...

Y/N: “the famous chris evans does tequila shots?”

Chris: “of course i mean not often but it calms the nerves...”

Y/N: “of course is there any other way to do them...”

Chris: “nope... on 3...”

you poured his shot and he took it in hand as you did yours...

Y/N: “1...”

Chris: “2...”

Y/N: “3...”

you and Chris take the shots at the same time, you crinkle your nose as does he but you take the shot glasses cleaning them immediately...

Chris: “so you know obviously who i am... may i know your name milady...”

Y/N: “my name is Y/N... you are actually the one who inspired me to not only move to brooklyn, but to take self defense classes...”

Chris: “im flattered... so what time does karaoke start?”

you turned to him with a glass in your hand...

Y/N: “the great chris evans intrigued by karaoke night... who knew...”

Chris: “i always loved coming here and watching everyone sing and everything... how long have you worked here...”

Y/N: “for about 2 years now, you should also know that i will be getting on that stage tonight and rocking the house...”

Chris: “will you have time to chat some more?”

Y/N: “of course...”

Chris notices your tattoo but doesnt think anything of it... you didnt take notice of his tattoo either and you could see it, under the white muscle shirt peaking out of the open plaid shirt he was wearing...

you and Chris are instantly interrupted by a bunch of people entering the bar, you guys hadnt noticed that it was like 8:30pm you guys had been lost in eachother for like an hour and a half...

people crowded all around, you went nuts bussing tables, handing out drinks and making sure everyone stayed happy. the place was packed & as always you got ready to go up and perform, Garry walks in and just in time like always... he goes up on the stage and up to the mic as he smiles at the crowd...

Garry: “alright lets bring up a crowd favorite to start here she is the girl with the most amazing voice, Y/N...”

you walked up on stage but not befor straightening out your dress...

you were so scared and yet it felt normal...

Y/N: “my first song to kick things off is one that i asked Garry specially for, here it goes i hope you all enjoy this...”

the before music started, but you were not expecting to only catch the eye of one specific guy... many guys had tried over the years to catch your eye... but you pushed through your thoughts and started singing...

Y/N: “ 8 o’clock on Friday night I’m still at home”

Chris started at you, your eyes starting to lock with his, your mouth gone dry, your hands all sweaty, but the worst thing was your tattoo was burning, Chris looked at the way your hand went towards your tattoo the way his went towards his tattoo, at the same time...

Chris (to self): “no way it cant be, she is the girl, the one with the voice, she is my song...”

Y/N: “All my girls just keep on blowing up my phone, Saying come on he ain’t worth the pain, Do what you gotta do to forget his name, Now there’s only one thing left for me to do, Slip on my favorite dress and sky high leather boots, Check the mirror one last time And kiss the past goodbye...”

your eyes locked with Chris, who was completely blown away and now standing making his way through the crowd to get a better feel for the sound, he was entering upon the stage...

Y/N: “What I’m really needing now, Is a double shot of Crown, Chase that disco ball around, ‘Til I don’t remember, Go until they cut me off, Wanna get a little lost In the noise, in the lights, Hey bartender pour ‘em hot tonight, ‘Til the party and the music and the truth collide, Bring it ‘til his memory fades away, Hey bartender...”

it was at that little interval that Chris kissed you, your tattoos burning, neither of you cared, neither of you were able to admit it but you were grateful to be in this moment right here right now... neither of you had felt so alive... chris breaks the kiss leaving you both wanting more...

Chris: “i came here tonight looking for the girl that belonged to the voice, the one that sings my song, the one that holds my heart or at least a part of it... the second you started singing you became known to me, your that girl, your the one voice that can sing that song and have it pierce the deepest part of my heart...”

~true love knows no bounds~

Ep. 8: “jay, I don't know who to trust anymore“ - Zest

Brianna

Okay Marie got voted out cuz Felix idoled Joey and that shit and I’m really upset about it. I think I just. Need to remain calm tho. I don’t need to freak out just cuz something didn’t go my way. I believe I’m still in a relatively good spot in the game and can still do some damage if I play my cards right. The only question is to who. The big targets now are Felix and Apollo in my opinion. How to get them out and remain safe is the question. Guess I have some thinking to do. Cya : ) 

Felix

I played an idol correctly for once in my life. This is actually the biggest gag of the century because it saved my ally and now I have at least some numbers left. Flint, Joey, and Lysandre are all numbers for me. I also think Boris is one too, but all Sumi people just rub me the wrong way. Next round will be interesting because we need to get rid of someone from Sumi because they are gaining traction quickly. Though, I doubt that people will remain loyal to that tribe alliance. I mainly want to target either Zest/Brianna/Apollo. They have got to go. This is an independent game, but I'm stuck in a position where I have to work with my old tribe. Yet, I can still gain the trust of Boris and Lysandre. I don't think I can EVER work with Apollo/Brianna/Zest. The latter two because I just don't talk to them enough. The former because I literally cannot trust his word. These three are the biggest threats to my game and they need to go. My order would now be Zest > Brianna > Apollo. My FTC could be with either Lys/Joey or Flint/Joey. All I know is that Joey is coming with me to FTC because he is the goat to end all goats.

Flint

WOW that tribal was wild. I did not expect Felix to have that many advantages. And that transparency one?! That really exposed me for flipping on our Tuai alliance. Just when I thought I couldn’t be any lower, here I am sitting in the grave I dug myself. Hope Marie keeps a slice of pizza warm for me cuz I’ll be joining her soon. 

Apollo

Ya bitch just found a motha fucking idol!!!! I’m fucking screaming!!!

zest

jay, I don't know who to trust anymore. I am a ball of stress. I want to stay in this competition. I need to figure something out. 

Felix

It is interesting to me that Lysandre chose Boris over me in the last round for immunity. To me that means he did not want me to ever win immunity in the first place. Thus, I must be a target for this tribal council which does not surprise me at all. I did, after all, just make a huge move and shook up the game so it comes as no surprise that people would begin targeting me. I do not believe that I can convince Zest or Brianna to vote my way, so there's no point in talking to them about the vote. I want to go for Apollo in this vote, but I do not know if I would have the numbers to do so. Honestly Flint can go now if he is so inclined, but we need to do something about this Brianna/Zest/Apollo alliance that I know is around. Apollo probably wants to take them to the end rather than Boris since they are major goats in this game. Maybe we should strip him of his numbers first before actually striking at him. Plus, Zest or Brianna would be a stronger pill to swallow for people to vote out. All in all, my plan remains the same though I doubt that without this immunity that I will make it much farther in this game. 

Lysandre

So the challenge is a chain reaction and I'm trying to set my list up to who I want to win vs who I Dont want to win. I mixed the Boris in at the top with the Taui folk.

Lysandre

My target for this round is Briana or Zest! And honestly even Apollo but idk about him yet. Lets see how the list challenge goes first. LysandreSo I put Felix as number two on tbe list so I cab show my trust to him and I think it worked out. ONG I FREAKING WON THIS CHALLENGE. AT final 8!!! I did that ugh my social game I love that whore. And the JURY voted for me to win it since there was a tie!! I am beyond ecstatic 

Lysandre

So winning immunity is both a blessing and a curse. It shows that I'm a little bit of a social threat as well as challenge threat and they see that now in how I was positioned on the lists (by thinking really hard about it lol). I also got the Jury's vote which says that between me and Boris they support me more which gives me more fuel to take Boris to the end of the game with me along with say Joey. I also came to the conclusion that it was Apollo and Zest who put me somewhere in the middle of their list or presumably under eachother and Boris which leads me to believe they are Sumi strong. I believe this is enough for me to try and target Zest this round. She's not playing the game for herself and she's in no way loyal to me. Apollo, however, seems to want to take me further than a few people so he can stay for now. All I have to do is cut out his ride or die Zest and I possibly take that spot. My eyes are still on Apollo since he has some sort of advantage and my eyes are on Flint who has this alliance with Brianna.. 

Lysandre

On second thought I may have to get Apollo out this round. He still has an advantage and is more of a threat than Zest. However, if he goes then Zest has to be next. My only concern is Boris and where his head is at the moment. I think it would be easier to get him to do Zest versus Apollo but if we DO vote out Zest Apollo is gonna be pissed and may turn on me. 

Flint

Well I botched another immunity challenge. That’s 3 for 3 now. No one has talked with me, and after my failed flip I’m getting paranoid I’m being voted out tonight. 

Apollo

Is Lysandre a politician? Do they think they’re Yul Kwon? Hell no! Because you’re about to get clockt in two rounds sweaty! I want them out so bad, I want them out now but I can’t.

Apollo

Idk if I’ve confessed since Marie Went  home but omg I can’t really complain about it, I’m not that mad! Lol. It’s upsetting the three amigos are still in but Marie was a bigger detriment to have in the game than Joey could ever be. I’m starting to consider working with Felix over Lysandre since I found out lysandre is in 5 alliances. And that’s more than I’m even in. BorisLysandre is amazing and i would die for them

Boris

So much is going ON. Marie was idoled out but i don't care bc I kinda wanted her gone anyway. Ive been at pride all weekend so I havent been able to be around much. Apollo is controlling as always. Lysandre and I are still a power couple. Felix is an icon. I forget flint and Joey exist sometimes. Brianna is ok. Zest is ok Jay had to threaten me to get me to confess so sorry this sucks lmao. Ill do better confessionals once pride weekend is over! LysandreSo it looks like the votes for Zest are coming in quite nicely and its going to be her. Apparently Apollo is sketched out by me and thinks I'm in the best position in the game... Ok??? You're right and all but ok??? You're too loud lmao

Felix

Alright so I hope the vote is Zest. Everyone is telling me that it is Zest or Flint. Apollo wants Flint gone. Everyone else wants Zest gone. It's a wild time. I'm just happy that neither my name nor Joey's name is being said during this round. It must mean we did something right this round to not be targeted as hard as we should be. Either way, I'll be here for another round unless I get idoled out, but that is unlikely to happen. Lys told me some interesting things today. Flint is heavily working with Brianna as a sort of duo that wants to make it to the end. This is interesting considering that Flint told me that he is the most distant with Brianna. I think Flint was lying to me, and he was just testing me with who I want out. If I had said the wrong name, then he would have begun targeting me this round. Luckily I already knew his relations with Brianna so I didn't say the wrong name. Though, that duo should be something to watch out for, though they are no present threat to me. This means that allegiances, the real ones, exist like this: Lys and I Joey and I Apollo and Zest Flint and Brianna Boris is the only one who I feel is an actual free agent in this game which puts him in a dangerous position for me. If he does decide to betray me, he can easily rally the votes against me. Though I need him at the present moment, so I cannot start targeting him. It is interesting to note however, I'm not going to stalk the idol hunt. It's too many outcomes for no rewards. Plus, I've already used three of them so I shouldn't have more. Good luck to me I guess.

Felix

Apollo is trying to vote out Flint which is still weird. He really seems to want to split the vote though which is super strange. I don't like how he is playing and I am just going to vote out Zest to keep myself safe this tribal council. Plus, she was totally @'ing me in the chat with her tribal answer which is fair enough, but that means the sooner she leaves the sooner I'll be safe.

Boris

Apollo thinks I'm still loyal to the f3 alliance of us and Zest but I personally like Felix and Lysandre more so uh oops. Felix and Lys want Zest out because shes simply just a loyal number to Apollo without any other game influence. And HONESTLY I agree so im voting Zest, but this is kinda cementing it to Apollo that im more loyal to others than him, so uh yeah Im scared !!

Flint

Tonight’s vote is a gesture to gain favor and trust back from Felix and Joey. I hate to vote for Zest but I need to prove my loyalty. But I think Felix has this game in the bag if he makes it to the end, which a lot of people are starting to realize. So it’s tough to balance a big move and lose Felix’s trust again or be considered a player that only rides Felix’s coattails and doesn’t play strategically. 

Felix

Apollo is going on and on about how Lys is secretly working the middle and that he's manipulating everyone. Let me be clear. It's obvious to me that this is what Lys is doing. I mean what else is he supposed to do? He has no Mea tribe members so he has to go and appease everyone on this tribe for a right to be in the game. Then there's Joey who believes Lys and Apollo are working together to take us both down which I don't believe. What I do believe is that Lys is putting his trust into me and is loyal to me. He's playing a fantastic game as of the moment, but I cannot get him out because he's a number for me. I need those numbers to take down Apollo. And then Boris. I just hope Lys does end up keeping me around because I'm placing a lot of trust in him.

Lysandre

So apparently there is a last minute scramble to trash my name on Apollos behalf. He revealed that I was in 5 alliances and is saying I'm a big ole threat since I was at the top of almost everyone's lists. I mean he's right but guess what baby boy I'm immune and your partner Zest soap is not. Lets see if you keep this same energy next round.

Brianna

Um so. I wake up from my 2 hour nap at 8:50 and now there’s a voting extension. Apollo told me he doesn’t know if people are voting Felix or flint. Flint tells me everyone’s name except Apollo’s was thrown out. And lysandre tells me they’re voting zest....I kind of...don’t know what’s going on....I wish Marie was here. She could’ve told me. So guess I’m voting? I don’t know. Felix? Might change in the next fifteen minutes 

joey g

So this round has been bonkers. I reached out to Lys and Felix because I needed to secure a trust going forward, but I’ve also reached out more to the Sumis as well. I really didnt want to vote zest, but felix is sorta running the show and I think that’s what Lyse wanted. Apparently its between Flint and Zest, but I cant say I feel comfortable at all

Brianna

Lysandre just told me apollo is targeting me...oop...

Brianna

Guess I’m trying to get zest out now! Lol 

Flint

I’ve heard that Tuai is using my name as a decoy which makes me really paranoid for tonight’s vote. I wish I had some security but that idol is so hard to find
