masterlist

You loved Dahlia's beach. It always smelled salty with a hint of expensive barbeque if you were in the city. But near the countryside there was the sweet smell of honeysuckle. That's where you would rather be, where the tall grass met the sandy dunes. The sounds of hooves on pavement and bustle around the farmers market on a hot weekend afternoon.

This summer was no different. Your stomach churned, rumbling in excitement as you neared the beach house. It was huge. Five bedrooms with enough bathrooms. Too many patios surrounding it. Turquoise colored pool with a small waterfall. The house was a blueish gray color with white accents. Calm and minimalistic, much unlike the other grand colorful houses on the street. It sat like a diamond around other stones in a non normal way. The most priceless of them all. Placed directly in front of the beach but not close enough to tourist spots so it was always quiet. It was always such an amazing way to spend the three months in between school. You looked forward to it every year.

But that wasn't all you looked forward to.

Your mom honked as you guys entered the driveway. A wide smile plastered on her face. Your mom seemed to love this place more than she loved you, even if she denied it when you asked. You knew the truth. Summers at the beach house were the only time she got to see her best friend, Camryn.

"Hey!" A voice squealed from the porch. You shuffled out of the car, legs aching after a long 5 hours. As you stretched you were met with Cam, arms spread jumping for joy. Practically knocking you over. They were best friends from high school. Going to college together and even sharing a dorm room. With how they acted every time they met, you were convinced they had separation anxiety. They didn't get to see each other throughout the year. Other than here of course. For they lived states apart, Dahlia's being a quiet beach town that was located in the middle.

Camryn engulfed you in a bear hug first, gushing about how pretty you are. Making you do a spin in your dress. Once she pulled away she did the same to your mom whose high pitched voice could be heard from the beach. As they talked about how ‘different’ each other looked. You watched as they walked inside hand in hand when your eyes met his.

Milo.

He radiantly smiled as he trotted over to you. The classic hands in pockets, ruffled hair, and expensive glasses. It was like he had a glow up every year whether it was him dressing better or maybe getting a bit taller.

"Hi" He cooed embracing you in a tight hug. The smell of his overpriced cologne filled your nose. It reminded you of sugary trees and cool waves. Much like the beach house. He was another reason you loved the beach house so much. Without him you were stuck with two middle aged ladies whose celebrity crush was Liam Neeson and only watched tv shows made by Shonda Rhimes. He was fun. He never made you feel left out or alone. He was everything any girl could wish for. Tall, smart, rich, and incredibly good eye candy.

"Hello, Milo." You smiled as he let you go.

He ran a hand threw his hair looking down at you. Eyes trailing down your body strangely. His expression was unrecognizable. Your face heated up turning your head to avoid his gaze. He touched the bottom of your dress. Yanking the fabric gently.

"This is a little short isn't it?" He questioned eyes meeting yours. Lips curled up in a sly smile. Rolling your eyes you scoffed slapping his hand away. He acted like a big brother sometimes. Especially with your clothes. Every summer complaining about how short your shorts were or how revealing your bathing suit was.

"Oh shut up you do this every-" The sight of someone else on the porch caught your eye. "Who's that?" You questioned raising an eyebrow.

Milo turned around and nodded in acknowledgement as the boy made his way down the stairs. Bleached blond hair slightly overgrown and wide smile on display as he made his way towards you two.

"Y/N this is Ross, Ross Y/N. He's staying the summer with us this year." Ross reached his hand out to you. Clad in silver rings that looked a bit out of your price range. Does Milo have any Middle Class friends? It was unusual. No one ever came to the beach house from back home. It was like a unsaid rule between everyone. Written in big red letters 'No Strangers'. The dads didn't even bother coming even though Milo's paid for it.

"Nice to meet you." He looked you up and down a tongue swiping over his lips. "Milo didn't tell me how pretty you are."

"Dude!" Milo exclaimed punching his shoulder rolling his eyes.

"Thank you." You beamed softening your voice. Milo scoffed walking towards the trunk slightly bumping into Ross. But he didn't seem to mind, hazel eyes still trained on you.

"So where are you fr-" Ross was cut off by a slightly pissed off Milo. "Are you guys serious? C'mon Ross help me with these bags." Ross walked away backwards eyes still focused on you with that addicting smile of his.

"See you inside?" He whispered loud enough for you to hear him.

You didn't respond. Only nodding as you strolled inside.

a/n: soooo what do you guys think? im still trying to figure out this tumblr writing stuff im so used to just reading ive never written and posted anything on here lololol. pls be patient with me! a few tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated!!

Happy Birthday YN

Our Story Masterlist Summary: It's YN's Birthday. Warning: swearing

Today is YN’s 19th birthday and the boys are performing in Sheffield tonight as part of the Take Me Home Tour, and as Doncaster is close to the arena, all of YN and Louis's family were coming to the show. YN’s birthday began when she was woken up by small pecks on the back of her neck, snuggling her head back into the pillow. Harry’s raspy voice is heard “Happy Birthday baby” and he continues to place a kiss on YN’s cheek. “Thank you babe” YN speaks for the first time as she turns around to face Harry. “Are yah excited to see your family tonight?” “Yeah..I can’t wait..I know Lou’s excited too” “Sooo…what do you fancy for your birthday breakfast?” Harry asked as he pulled her closer to him under the covers. “Hmmm…pancakes with a cup of tea” YN requested as she lovingly kissed her boyfriend's lips. “Then that’s what you’ll ‘av” Harry spoke before turning to order room service to their room. As Harry comes back into the room, he sees YN still laying in their bed and scrolling through her phone, probably answering birthday wishes. “I’ve got you something” Harry’s voice startles YN. “Aww babe…you didn’t need to get me anythin’…thank you” YN smiles as Harry lays next to her again but with a blue bag in his hand.  As YN opened the bag and gift box inside, a heart-shaped necklace sat inside and before she could thank Harry, she wrapped her hand around the back of his neck and smashed her lips to hers. “You like it then?” Harry laughed as they pulled apart. “I luv’ it..thank you so much baby” YN pecked Harry’s lips once more. “I love you always” “I love you forever” --- As YN and Harry arrived at the arena, multiple members of the crew wished her a happy birthday as they walked passed the couple who walked hand in hand. As the pair reach the main dressing room door, Harry allows YN to walk in first. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" several different voices shout at once. Overwhelmed at the sight in front of her, YN can't help but let the tears fall from her eyes. Banners stuck onto the walls and tables, balloons covered the floor and a big cake was placed in the middle of the table. "Shit..she's crying" Liam's voice is heard as he panics. "N-no they're..a-appy tears I promise" YN manages to speak as the tears slip down her cheeks. "Aww t-thanks everyone". At the sight of his love trying to wipe her tear-stained cheeks, Harry wraps his arms around the front of her, sitting across her chest, he places a kiss on her head "Hey..you alright?" "Y-yeah..yeah 'm fine...just in shock that's all"

Louis makes his way over to the couple "'appy birthday Tiny" and Harry removes his arm from around her so she could hug her brother. "Thanks Louis...I can't believe everyone did this for me" "Hey..you fookin' deserve it..okay?" Louis whispered into YN's ear. "Right..c'mon then..let's cut the cake"

Most of the crew have gone back to doing their jobs and tasks after cutting the cake and everyone having a slice. All the boys and YN are still hanging out in the dressing room. "Soo the baby has finally joined the nineteen club" Niall speaks towards YN. "It's a good club to be fair" Harry joins in the conversation as he sits on the sofa with YN wrapped in his arms. "If it's just us fookin' three in the club then I'm out" YN joked. "Heeeey" Harry pouted his lips and without a thought, YN pressed her mouth to his. "Aww fook sake man...get a fookin' room will ya" Louis's voice was heard as he made gagging noises which made the others, including Harry and YN laugh. --- Before the show started, YN and Louis's family arrived and immediately took them both into their arms after not seeing them for a while, they had all wished YN a happy birthday and hugged her and said how they wouldn't believe she was nineteen already.

Phoebe and Daisy were so excited to see Louis perform and just couldn't contain their excitement as they jumped around the room. The older girls were slightly calmer about the situation but insisted on having their photos taken with the boys. As YN had seen the boys perform every show on the tour so far from the comfort of the box reserved for the boy's family and friends, she insisted that she would watch from the side with Louise as there were only so many seats available and she wanted her family to enjoy the show. YN and Louise stood at the side of the stage as the boys finished singing Live While We're Young. "Sheffield...It's been a pleasure this evening" Louis's voice boomed through the arena, which caused the crowd to react "It's a special day today...It's me sister YN's birthday" "Happy birthday to you..." Liam began to sing. "Shall we sing 'appy birthday to her?" Louis asked the fans and they all cheered. As Louis and the boys look to the side where YN was standing they see YN shaking her 'no'. "Oh..she's shakin' 'er head at me...she's gonna kill me for this...shall I bring her out on stage so we can all sing it together...yeah c'mon Tiny out ya come...c'mon" Louis walks towards his sister who is still telling him no but he reaches for her hand and pull her with him back onto the stage. "YN YN YN YN" Niall and Liam start to chant and encourage the fans to copy. "Lou...please...I don't like this" YN protests whilst laughing nervously. Now standing in front of an arena filled with people, YN can't help but try and hide behind Zayn. "Is everyone ready to sing...one two three.." "Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to YN, happy birthday to yoooooou" everyone in the arena sings, making YN laugh and smile. Now standing next to her brother side who leans his elbow on her shoulder and pushes the microphone to her mouth, YN's voice is heard "Thank you everyone..that was really special". "See wasn't that bad was it" Louis speaks again as he brings YN into a hug. "I feel like I'm missing out...can i 'av a hug too" Niall interrupts, YN hugs Niall, Liam and Zayn before she awkwardly turns to Harry who wears a mischievous smirk on his face as he holds his right hand out for her to shake, causing the boys to laugh and the fans to roar with noise at witnessing the couple interact. "I tell you wha' 'cause it her birthday, I'll let you give her a kiss on the cheek Styles" Louis talks into his microphone, making the fans go crazy and Niall's laugh bounces around the stage. Harry brings his microphone up to his mouth "On the cheek, are ya sure Tommo?" which causes Louis to shrug his shoulders and his famous grin covers his face. But as the boys joke around, YN is already walking back towards the side of the stage until Harry jogs over to her and pulls her hand so his back is facing the crowd and she's hidden behind his frame. He dips his head and captures her lips with his own and pulls away quickly and whispers "Happy Birthday Baby" so only YN could her, as the cheer of the crowd behind them surrounds them. "Styles...you need biology lessons mate 'cause I clearly said cheek" Louis sassily speaks into his mouth, causing the boys to laugh. "Sorry, my lips slipped" Harry cheekily replies.

What were the highlights of the show last night for you?

Hope you had the best night 🩷

for context: it was one of the worst weeks of my entire life because on wednesday my grandfather had a heart attack and i had to travel urgently to my hometown and then to another city where he was in intensive care. so when i got the call in my mind the posibility of going to the show was cancelled and obviously that make me very sad but at the same time i felt guilty for wanting to go. however, my family insisted that i had to go but i waited until the last visit on friday to decide because i'm an only daughter, i'm his only granddaughter and my family consists of him, my uncle and my mother so it's not easy and he's my whole life but that same night i returned to rosario and very early on saturday i was able to travel to buenos aires, i arrived there around noon. the line was soo long but there was a beautiful autumn sun.

i met 5 other girls and i was really surprised not to see or talk to anyone underage, we entered at 5:30 in the afternoon and i unbuttoned my jeans and sat in the pit to eat an alfajor (jajsjs). the chaos begun with pacífica and continued with giant rooks (INCREDIBLE!!!). before the show started i was on the verge of losing a shoe and even though it was hot from so many people, i had 4 layers of clothes and felt very cold. at this point my throat hurt A LOT

i realized that liam was in the vip but in the part where i was (next to the catwalk) no one made much of a fuss and liam's "newness" lasted at most 40 seconds, which is why i'm surprised to see so much talk about him online when in my experience it meant nothing and the people around me said "uh it's liam, that's great" and after 2 minutes they were already focused on louis coming out on stage (no olé olé olé liam in my area)

about the show: i don't know if i have the words to describe it but it made me feel so much HAPPINESS, i think about it and smile at the screen, louis was beautiful (that color is great for him and i loved the outfit !!!) the feeling of the music in your chest in a live show is incomparable and the introduction of the greatest 10/10, there were things that surprised me like songs that i didn't think the audience would sing that louder as coacoac or face the music. megamix live is a religious experience, my eyes filled with tears during we made it (how good it sounds!!! god was it possible to beat ltwt? yes). the band? excellent, louis' voice? sweet and clear

my phone doesn't take nice photos at night and the videos are dubious and never do it justice, so for me it was great to focus on enjoying the show and not so much on recording every second or trying to get the best photo. i wish i could name one song in particular but i enjoyed them all, of the 1d covers, i felt more energy and it was louder wtbhg and i'm not going to lie i enjoyed it a lot (fun fact: that song was recorded in buenos aires during wwat - yes! overwork! yasss!)

the ooms fp was AMAZING AAAAAAAA !!!!!! AAAAA !!! !!!! SO MUCH FUN. i have watched the video that inspired it millions of times (rolling stones in buenos aires 2006 - around 5:30) dreaming of living something like that and it was better: there was pogo, energy and argentinidad. the saturdays fp made me cry. A LOT. you could feel the adoration and love of the public for him and every time louis spoke it felt special <3

after ooms i went behind the front pit to have a more panoramic view and i saw how chris (i had him next to me because he started taking photos during wtbhg and i 👀 🤔👽🚶‍♂️) and matt were toasting with the technical team. silver tongues is the perfect ending for the show and the fireworks were like the cherry in top of a cake aaaaand that's when it really hit me HOW COLD IT WAS (6°) and i wished for the next tour happens in spring when buenos aires is completely purple with the jacarandás and it's my birthday, the funny part is that now it's not even winter here. anyways I LOVED EVERY SECOND AND I ENJOYED IT SO MUCH <3 i love louis with my whole heart I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT NIGHT ♥️🇦🇷

Jay Walker Headcannons

warnings: none🌴

General

he sucks at driving

he failed his license test 3 times before he gave up

a lot of people think that since he's hyper he can't drink coffee, but I think when he drinks coffee he calms down and gets sleepy

(that totally wasn't me projecting my ADHD on him)

One time the group was playing truth or dare at 3 AM, and sleep deprived Jay told them he thought Garmadon was "the hottest person I've ever seen. I mean even when he was an Oni he was hot shit. Can you imagine what he could do with four arms. I would totally tap that. Lloyd some day ur gonna have to call me daddy cus I'll be married to him"

When he's sleep deprived he doesn't think at. all.

the wildest things ever said will leave his mouth and he'll have a straight face the whole time

His first kiss was Nya

He's a 2000s movie loser boyfriend coded

He so Cameron from 10 Things I Hate About You coded

He's so Leo Valdez coded

His favorite music genre is Rap

He listens to Coolio and Eminiem while he invents

He hates ABBA(as an ABBA lover this hurts but ik he hates them so hard🤧🤧)

He cusses more than any of the other ninjas

when they do interviews the ninjas have to interrupt him a lot bc its live and kids could be watching so they can't cuss

he's taken so many media training classes and still won't stop cussing on TV

Out of all the ninjas he has the smallest fan base

Most of his fans are people who relate to him

There are SOO many soft edits of him to cutsey wutsey songs

He interacts with his fans a lot and people love him for that

he likes the edge of brownies

he likes them so much he bought one of those pans that only has edges and he uses it weekly

HE LOVES SLIME

He's afraid of all amphibians, except frogs

he has insomnia

His favorite movie is Gnomeo and Juliet

Dating

If you guys moved in together you would have separate rooms

this is bc he wants you guys to have ur own space to express yourselves and relax

the main reason is because he doesn't want to keep you awake with his insomnia

plus if you have a fight no one's sleeping on the couch

He would make the ring he uses to propose to you

The ring would have some saying that's important to you guys engraved on the interrior band

His love language is quality time

he would be in a room tinkering/inventing and you'd be in there doing one of ur hobbies

a close second is gift giving

he makes most of the gifts he gives to you

I feel like he doesn't care for physical touch that much

it's not that he'll reject it, it's just that he won't initiate it

unless it's ur love language, then he'll initiate it

You guys would adopt an Australian Shepherd and he would name it Liam

or if ur allergic to dogs, you would adopt a Maincoon and he would name it Everest

if ur allergic to cats and dogs, idk what you would adopt

a hamster? a gerbil? a frog? I would say a rat cus he gives off rat energy but he's scared of rats(which is weird cus he loves Ratatouille(it's his 3rd favorite movie(his 2nd favorite is How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days)))

Your first date would be bowling or a picnic at the beach

Since he sucks at driving you have to drive or you take public transportation

It was a tepid day, the sun was shining bright when she woke up and by the time everyone got ready it was already up in the sky.

Mina smiled at herself looking at the colorful reflections of the stained windows on the carpet floor as she made her way toward the parlour, hoping it to be a quiet place to read.

Even more since any place in that castle was barely quiet with all the ruckus the crown’s members did on a daily basis, but even though someone complained about it she was happy to see it bustling with activity.

The rustle and bustle kept it interesting, not a day filled with boredom as far as she could remember, looking back she was glad to have joined them as Fairytlae Keeper.

Even more since she got the opportunity to meet his love, at the mere thought of him his smiling face popped up in her mind, doing nothing to placate the blush from spreading on her cheeks, she could have lied to everyone about it being a sunburn, even though Harrison would have seen through her lie and told everyone about it.

Mina still hadn’t quite forgiven him for the stunt he pulled at that dinner, but looking back she was grateful for it too.

It was in fact only thanks to him that they could have finally shared their feelings so freely, without misunderstanding of the sorts.

Still she was upset to not have seen Roger around, but maybe he was just busy after all Liam told her he went out at dawn, probably for a mission and thus she had to wait to see him, but as soon as she opened the door the parlour an unexpected sight greeted her.

“Hey there.” Here he stood, sitting on a chair with his legs crossed idly skimming through the pages of the newspaper opened on his lap, greeting her as soon as she opened the door with that charming smile she couldn't help but find even more captivating each single time. 

“Hello.”

“Aren’t you happy to see me ?”

“I am.”

“I know. You are so easy to read, my little lion.” 

A teasing smirk curled his lips, she was oh so tempted to brush off with a kiss, the mere idea making her blush like a strawberry.

“You tease. Why did you ask me then ?”

“Because your reactions are always worth seeing.”

Mina pouted but the anger dipalayed was by no means real, deep down she knew it was only the way he was, one of the many facets that made her fall in love with him.

He was like a Rubik’s cube, complicated in a way she was drawn to understand, like that toy she failed miserably to resolve whereas he managed to complete it in record time but even that wasn't enough to make him hate him, eliciting in her admiration he saw him accepting with a rare rosy tinged cheek and a smile, a speck  bashful, on his lips.

His voice a sultry whisper took her back from her reveries, along the warmth of his breath fanning over her ear, he was so close she could feel his heartbeat, while her own was in a race of he must have heard even though he pretended not to.

“Come to my room when the sun starts to set, I need your help with something.”

She looked at him surprised to see him so eager to ask for her help, a quizzical expression in her chocolate eyes, as a hint of mischief flickered in his amber’s ones dripping over his smirk.

“Do you want a clue ?”

“Not at all.”

“Are you sure, ‘cause judging by your heart you would do anything to have one.”

“Alright then tell me.” 

Her smile challenged him for something she knew he wouldn’t have given her anyway, or else Roger wouldn't have been the naughty tease he was and maybe just maybe this would have chipped away at his charm, the same she felt to have been bewitched by.

“Sorry but the time is up I need to leave for a mission. I would make you come along but I can't, not today.” 

There was something in his gaze pleading her to not ask any more questions and so, for once, she didn’t pried.

“Don't worry about me.” 

Though they would have been apart, today of all day, she knew he couldn't give up his job for her, even though ti upsetted her the idea of spending the morning alone, even though in the castle no one was ever truly alone.

“Please take care of yourself until my return alright ?”

“Alright.”

She nodded unable to do anything else, but lose herself in that mesmerized pool of molten golden his eyes were seeing straight into her core, a dreamy sigh escaped her lips at the sensations of his big calloused hand cupping her cheek, brushing his thumb over its apple only to molding it thereafter until her lips curled in a smile.

“What are you doing ?”

“Making you smile, that pout didn't suit you.”

She pouted once more, only to smile after seeing the boyish grin on his lips she so much adored, a spark of playfulness in his gaze as he boop her nose lightly.

“Now be a good girl and wait for me. I will be sure to reward you once I get home.”

As much as Mina loved him she has to admit Roger was a jigsaw to her, just when she thought to have understood him here a new facet popped up making her rethink everything she had discovered so far ,acting all mysterious like during the first months when she decided to help him, making her even more eager to discover everything about him.

By the time she saw him off her mood to read flew from the window, she needed her to distract herself, to not think about him too much, and so she stride toward the library to pester Harrison. 

“Hello, is anyone there ?”

A sigh resonated in the quiet air of the library, enough to lead her to the source of that sound.

“Why do you ask questions you already know the answer for ?”

“To be sure you were there.”

“You are quite troublesome, you know that.”

“I can say the same to you but well if this is your way to greet me I suppose I have to find someone else to share the sweets July just baked with.”

“Oh no you are not going off so easily.”

Before she knew it he had swiped the candies bags out from her hands popping one in his mouth.

“Caramel and chocolate, only she could come out with such a combination.”

“If you don’t like it I can take it back.”

“Ahhh Mina my dear, back off from your promise it’s not a nice thing to do.”

“At least let me taste one.”

“Only if you behave.” 

“You sound like Roger.”

She took advantage of his distraction to snatch the flask of candies away and pick on them, rolling it over her tongue letting the sweet scent invade her taste buds.

“It seems she was in a good mood today.”

“Thanks to all the gods she was, she is so moony.” 

“Hehehe I bet it was ‘cause Elbert asked her out on a date today.”

“She really is smitten about him.” 

“Exactly like he is. I am happy to see it though.”

“By the way Harrison, I was thinking, do you by any chance need help with something ?”

“Why the sudden request ?”

“Roger is on a mission today.”

He perceived something clouding the sun in her eyes, clever as he was he must have caught the gist of it, truth to be told she felt a bit lonely without him but was wary of showing it off, even though her eyes must have betrayed her.

“You came at the right time, I am stuffed busy with research for a romance novelist and you are the right person to ask for a helping hand.”

So the crazy, whirlwind of her day began, running out and about around the library looking for books, newspapers and every idea they could brainstorm together, all for the sake of his job.

Engrossed as she was in helping out Harrison she didn't see the sun setting until a low voice cracked in the quiet air of the library.

“I see you are as busy as ever but I am not surprised to see that sweetie.”

“Roger.”

Immediately she left what she was doing running to throw her arms around him

“Welcome back.”

“Thank you.” 

A surprisingly tender smile curled his lips as he looked at her, adjusting a rebel chocolate lock from her forehead with his sturdy finger.

“Have you finished for the night ?”

“Oh yes I think I have.”

Mina turned to look at his friend, looking back at her with a knowing smirk.

“Can I go, Harry ?”

“Of course no one is keeping you there. Thanks for the help by the way.”

When she was about to go out though she saw him winking at Roger, before ducking his head on the book on his lap as nothing has ever happened, Harrison was unreadable as he was and so she paid him no mind as she followed Roger out of the library.

She must have looked like a puppy who had found his owner but she cared very little about it, she was too happy to conceal her emotions, though she couldn't lie about the mad beating of her heart as they reached his room.

“Care to join me, little lady ?”

His voice a tempting purr making her unable to form any coherent answer and so she nodded, smiling as he held the door for her before closing it behind their back.

As soon as she entered though her attention was immediately stolen from the immense library covering the walls, like she was in a candy shop she ran toward it scanning the titles of the books, tracing them with her fingers enraptured by their color glimmering under the warm light of the chandelier, until someone his  warm laugh snapped her out of her focus.

“Ahaha I see the books caught your interest before me, I feel I am not doing a good job then.”

“It's not that it's only wow I love all this tomes and the bed it's look so comfy.”

“Do you care to try ?”

“Ahem not now.” 

Mina had to muster all her courage to deny him what she yearned for the most, hiding the fierce blush of her cheeks faking to caress the covers but before she could go any further something tickled her earlobe.

“You haven't seen anything yet and you are already interested in my furniture.”

“It's not that.”

“I can feel your heartbeat Mina. You can't lie to me.”

“Damn you.”

“Ahaha that spitfire attitude suits you better.”

He rewarded her with a wet kiss on her cheek, thing she answered by pouting as she sat on the bed, but her scold had to wait robbed from the gentle brush of his sturdy finger on her hair, as he tucked a lock behind her ear looking straight into her gaze, the color of molten caramel and sweet as much.

“Now be a good girl and close your eyes.” Roger was by no means stupid, perceiving her hesitancy he graced her temple with a feather light kiss, smiling at the sound of her laugh.

“I assure you, you can trust me.”

“Like that time you asked me to hold your mug of beer without telling me it was filled to the brim and it splashed on my fingers ?”

“To me it wasn't to the brim.”

“I don’t trust you on that.”

“Aahahah alright then I may have been a bit petty, but I swear this time you can fully trust me.”

“Alright then but only because you asked  nicely.” 

A smug smile on her lips as she locked her eyes with him before placing her hands above them.

For once she didn’t tried to peek, too busy trying to ignore any scenario running in her mind at the softness of his blankets, tempting in to give in to his desires and yield to him, but she was way too stubborn to let him have his way with her, moreover he had more than once told her he liked her as she was, making her feel, despite the weird situation she found herself in, welcomed in that peculiar palace the Crown was.

But she hadn’t the time to revel in her dreams for too long because one moment later she felt something being placed on her lap as the weight on the bed shifted signing he sat next to her, so close she could perceive the heavy scent of his cologne, wood and oranges a peculiar mix just like the man himself

“You can open your eyes now.” 

A smile curled her lips at the sigh of the package but she couldn't help but gaze at him, discerning in his amber gaze a light note of apprehension that she never saw before masked by his cocky attitude ever present in his smug smirk.

“Come on, open it.” 

Her fingers betraying her impatience as she hastily undid the turquoise ribbon, her smile shining brighter than the sun and ten fold as warm as she took her gift from the box, holding it close to her chest.

It was a romance book, the exact same one she yearned to acquire but gave up since she learned it was out of print.

“Do you like it?” 

Here comes the concern dancing in his gaze, proof he cared deeply about her, despite what he told anyone even himself.

“I love it.”

“I am so happy to know that.”

“How can I do anything but ? I searched everywhere for it.”

“Everywhere but Elbert’s room.”

“What ?”

“Yeah he bought it for July some time ago, and after she read it they forgot they even acquired it until I asked Alfons.”

“Hahahaha that is so typical of them, that two obsessive collectors.”

Her laugh made his heart swell with warmth as nothing ever did, pushing him to wrap one arm around her, cupping her face with the other, leaving a gentle kiss on her forehead. 

“Happy Birthday Mina.”

“Thank you Roger.”

“I look forward to seeing you smile in all adventures we will be into. I can’t tell you some won’t be frightening but I can assure I will be there to cheer you up when you feel down and load you with so much work you will forget anything that ever upset you in the blink of an eye or I can say in a heartbeat.”

His tender words moved her heart more than she could say, ever since she met him he seemed to be callous and egotistical but she soon discovered that deep down he was so unbelievably kind and gentle enough to make her feel even more in love with him, at each facet she discovered of that complicated man she so long yearned to call his lover.

She threw her arms around him, hugging him tightly, inhaling his scent, curling in his strong embrace, keeping her warm despite the light freshness of the evening.

“Thank you my love.”

She certainly had no such talent like him but she could swear she felt his heart skip a beat along hers, she pulled away shily losing herself in that gentle amber gaze looking only at her savouring that even sweet kiss than come after ward, enjoying the savour of his lips melting on hers as his tongue slipped into her mouth before entwined with her own.

Mina  eagerly welcomed the sultry caress of his hands on her body, setting a fire on her skin burning ablaze for him as her core clenched begging to be satisfied.

Reluctantly he pulled away, a thin trail of saliva connecting their lips he didn’t shy away from merging once more in one, as his manly body shifted closer to her on the bed wrapping his arms around her as she pushed her hips against his.

“I have to say you look even more gorgeous in this turquoise dress but I bet he will look much better on the floor.” 

His voice was laced with a sultry temptation to give in to their true desires as his fingers brushed over her bottom lip.

“‘Care to test my theory ?”

“Oh yes, please show me.”

“If you are so eager then there is no need for me to hold back.”

“Then don’t lavish me as you like Roger make me yours.” 

“As you desire, my one and only love.”

The stars twinkled in the darkness of the night, swirling around the clouds for a chance to get a peek between the curtains of that room, where two lovers were doing their best to shown one another the depth of their feelings not thinking to have such a curious audience to their efforts but certainly not minding it for nothing could have ever soured the emotion blossomed in their heart linked together by the power of love.

Day 3 for May DWC 2024 Shame - Favorite

★ Backstage Glimpses at Hearts of Tenacity Fest ★

While interviewing the performers backstage was always fun, this year the hosts decided to have a little fun with it! Loaded with a bag of Hearts of Tenacity pin sets, Konietzko set forth to offer one Starflower and one Aethril pin to everyone they interviewed to see how they'd respond. Of course Talthorn couldn't resist also asking them how many Talicious Pinups that they had on their walls already too as a further way to loosen things up and keep their minds off the pressure of their shows.

Kon recalled Dicenne saying something about, "The two seem fairly inseparable, no?" Which means the guy was smart enough not to choose either but both. So that made it one point for Talthorn and one point for Kon. The Fangbreakers said they all already had purchased the full set to collect so that too was another point for both making them both still tied with two. Grim had reported that they didn't own any pinups yet, but he couldn't help but wonder if that changed after the festival. They certainly had put on one amazing show as a new soul on their stage. But he also recalled that Grim had chosen the Starflower pin. Aha! Three points for himself and still only two for Talthorn. Illerodora considered herself a woman of mystery so she would not comment on how many posters she owned to which set Talthorn off on a barrage of questions trying to weasel some form of an answer out of her but she never budged, not even for him. He smiled fondly at that memory before recalling that she'd chosen the Aethril pin as it stood out against her skin and hair in such a lovely way even if she actually wanted both. Of course they wound up giving them both to her as how could they resist. But that evened up the score again to three each. Liam informed them that Ranathiel had many pinups in their room, though he hadn't caved yet of having one done of himself yet. It didn't change the score for them either as Liam had both pins already from former years of the fest. Malor expressed his thankfulness for the "beautiful and a little familiar" Starflower pin so that put Kon back ahead of Talthorn four to three. Maybe he should have offered one to his wife, that could have been a double point! Nahilvi snatched both of them from him when offered, the little thief. Course he would have given them both to her but that put them at five to four now. Ranek confessed to having a collection of pinups though he wouldn't confess who he had even if he'd teased the worgen a little about having each one of Kon's. He loved razzing his friend though it was no secret. But he was unable to choose between the two pins and had to flip a coin. Konietzko debated rather to make that count or not in the score because he technically hadn't chosen. He scrunched his nose and decided not to cheat. Rye confessed to having a few pinups of both him and Talthorn to which he was not surprised considering how close they were. But when presented with the pin challenge he chose Aethril without even hesitating. "Starflowers are all well and good, but we both admit that there's a vibrant aura from Aethril that is near damn impossible to ignore." He said much to Kon's chagrin. That put them back to being equal at five to five. Ryland admitted he didn't really collect pin-ups but, "I absolutely do have one of Dicenne. He's been a huge inspiration to me, and he's just really fucking hot." A comment which neither Talthorn nor Konietzko could deny but left them all laughing. Much like Dicenne, he had chose both telling them, "I feel like you cannot have one without the other." So that put them both at six to six now. Soo-Ha the lovely dear had been so kind and gentle when they interviewed her. But she picked Aethril right away as she claimed she was a "sucker for hues of pink and purple." Talthorn couldn't fault her for that nor did Kon so that put his husband back in the lead with six to seven now.

Starman was a riot to question, he even blushed a bit with those freckled cheeks when asked about the pin-ups. He said, "I've made sure to update the collection each year... Every performer is gorgeous in their own right, and they can be rather inspirational when writing scripts for future performances. There's actually a small handful that have inspired my performance for this year's Talicious Block." That certainly left them both curious but boy had he brought on the heat with his show. Aznhin did NOT disappoint. Course he declined the pins as he already had both so the score remained with Talthorn in the lead. Much to Kon and Tal's amusement, the Starstriders gave a specific number confessing they had at least five posters. But they kept the score mostly the same as Leo chose Starflower and Trist chose Aethril putting them at seven to eight, Talthorn leading still.

Tarscale tipped Talthorn ahead even further having chosen Aethril as she seemed fond of the pink flower shape so that put his husband ahead with seven to nine and Andy put him ahead even further having chosen Aethril simply because his sister Velathra grew them in her garden. But fair was fair so the score was now seven to ten for Talthorn. Zane at last was their final score to count, admitting she had a few posters on her walls but she too decided to choose the Aethril pin as it was more her style. Course she wanted both in the end but that initial choice counted in this favorites game putting Talthorn as the winner with their scores of seven to eleven. Konietzko couldn't blame anyone for chosing him or Aethril more, honestly he had chosen him over himself too time and time again. With a laugh he called out to Talthorn. "Seven to Eleven, you win!" To which earned Kon a very confused look from the kitchen as he had no idea what on Azeroth his husband was even thinking in that very moment. @daily-writing-challenge @dicenne @talthorn-sylvoran @zaneryne @ithiliosstarstrider @tristayranambrosio @anzhin-the-starman @thecozykirin @rylandfalkov @sirensdxn @ranekvilmas @siennablaze219 @firionbloodsworn @lunethdawnseeker @vaestro And many more I could not find the tags for!

Next Chapter

Chapter one - With a little help

Drake Walker x Rose Thorne ( MC)

WC: 4,1K

Summery: When Rose Thorne gets a second chance to be back in Cordonia and be back with Drake- Will he be able to be with her or will the risk of hurting his best friend be too much for him to bare?

(Rewrite of the royal romance book two with a focus on the romance between Drake and Mc plus friendships)

While sitting at the Cordonian airport you looked out through the windows with your head in your hands and tears streaming down on your face. In the last eight months you had come to fall in love with Cordonia both it's people and the people you had met through your journey.

You were going to miss Hana – the beautiful and talented Hana who had truly become your bestest friend. You were going to miss sneaking down in the kitchen at 3 am with her to make hot chocolate filled with whipped cream and soo many delicious marshmallows.

You were going to miss Maxwell's high energy and jumping on the massive beds with him and Bertrand scolding you both. You were going to miss how gentle of a person Liam was, he was always good company and he had a lot of trust in him which was something you admired.

You remembered your mother's final words before she and you left your family home after her and your father had gone through a messy divorce.

Trust is not something you can ever give away freely Rosaline, It must be earned

But the person you were going to miss the very most out of everyone was Drake. Funny, sarcastic but underneath that harsh layer was a much softer side of Drake that he only showed to the people who really mattered. In the very beginning he had fascinated you and drew you in but you had really started to fall for him after he had let down his guard around you and you had spend more time together just the two of you.

You wish you had gotten a chance to explore the magnetism you both obviously felt for each other however you knew he was hesitant to fully be with you because of Liam.

Now boarding economy class for passengers of flight PB205 to New York City...

'Well I guess that's me... Goodbye Cordonia' you said and wishfully looked out the window one last time to say goodbye.

The palace guards who had escorted you to the airport were watching closely.

You look through your bag for your boarding pass when you hear a familiar voice

'Rose! Wait!'

you turn around to see Maxwell and Bertrand running towards you before they are stopped by the palace guards

'you will keep your hands to yourselves. I am the Duke of Ramsford!' Bertrand says clearly agitated

After hearing that Bertrand and Maxwell are noble the guards back off and they both rush over to you

'Rose!' Maxwell exclaims before pulling you into a strong embrace, you hug him back tenderly

'I hope you came here to help me?' you asks anxiously, but you are hopeful that there's still hope for you to go back to Cordonia, to your friends.

' Kind off? We don't have any concreate answers for you but we are both here for you and of course we both believe that you had nothing to do with the scandal' Maxwell says trying to reassure you.

'Really? Both of you believe me? Even Bertrand' you ask sceptically as you look over at Bertrand who doesn't look fully convinced of your innocence.

' Lady Rose ... Did you have a romantic relationship with Tariq behind close doors?'

'Bertrand of course she didn't! It was a set up' Maxwell says shocked at how his brother is behaving

Bertrand looks over at Maxwell then back at you

'Maxwell let her answer for herself. I need to hear the truth from her'

' Bertrand... I never had a romantic relationship with Tariq. But I think I'm falling in love with someone else..' You say and look down at the ground, you take a deep breath before you look back up and Maxwell mouths 'Drake?' you look at him with a different ray of emotions shock, fear then disbelief before you mouth back ' how did you know?' and Maxwell shrugs smugly.

'Now now children we have important things we must discuss' Bertrand scolds both of you.

' What do you suggest we do' you ask in a serious tone of voice

'We want to take you back to Cordonia'

' Well you were clearly set up. We will not take this laying down. No one smears the name of House Beaumont' Bertrand says with determination

'But Liam chose someone else'

'There's a constitutional provision that states the king can change his mind under certain circumstances. It it hard to change but it isn't impossible. Whoever is plotting against you wish you unwell and we must stop them immediately' .

'Really? You would do all of this for me?' you ask feeling both gratitude and a bit overwhelmed

' You aren't to blame Lady Rose. The Court shouldn't have reacted so harshly and those culprits who set you up need to pay for this. House Beaumont supports you unequivocally and we are on your side until the bitter end'

You pull Bertrand into a hug and Maxwell joins you before yelling 'GROUP HUG'

Maxwell and Bertrand inform you that clearing your name isn't going to be a piece of cake but that they will do anything they can to help you prove your innocence. They fill you in on the fact that for you to have the best chances to clear your name you must join Madeleine's engagement tour.

'What do you say Rose? You want to go back and clear your name and find the love of your life

that would otherwise be lost forever' Maxwell says overly dramatic for show and normally you would giggle but you need to think about this

You want to go back to court and clear your name more than anything, to see your friends again and see Drake more than anything, but you are scared.

What if it doesn't work? What if they are better off without you? Your fingers tremble as you put a bit of your hair behind your ear and you take a deep breath.

You got this. You can do it.

Final call for economy class passengers of flight PB205 to New York City... final call...

'Bertrand, take my bag!! let's get this show on the road'

Bertrand looks at you clearly flabbergasted.

'your b- your bag!!'

you give him your best puppy dog eyes.

'just this once? Pretty please? It is a very important occasion'

Bertrand rolls his eyes and reluctantly agrees before reminding you that it won't be a reoccurring thing.

'After what happened earlier I didn't think I would see any of you again let alone hear from you. I thought you had given up on me' you express sadly as you, Maxwell and Bertrand make your way towards the limo.

'We would never leave you behind!We came as soon as we could but security had split us up into separate holding rooms until Bertrand gave them a mouthful and demanded we were let go' Maxwell says and you crack a smile for the first time all night since arriving at the airport.

'No one treats the Duke of Ramsford or house Beaumont with anything less than respect.. Get in the limo. We have a lot of work to do before the welcome party at Madeleine's estate.

' Sr yes sir' you say playfully before you get into the limo.

The next six weeks is spent rebuilding your image and going over etiquette so you know how to describe food, learning to perfect your quickstep and what forks to use for which meals, you're missing everyone dearly but you have been told minimal contact with your friends is for the best at

the moment and no one has reached out to you and it hurts.

You miss Hana dearly but she must be home with her parents now and that must have taken a toll on her. Liam must be busy with his engagement and his princely duties. Drakes withdrawal hurts the most, there was something real between you and you cannot believe he hasn't sent as much as a text message. Do you not matter to him as much as he matters to you?

You also spend the next six weeks physically changing your image, new gowns are bought for the upcoming tour, Maxwell and Bertrand got a family friend who happened to be a stylist into the Beaumont estate and she gives your hair a transformation from red hair to black hair with blue ombre tips, you absolutely adore your new look, it feels like such a needed change, like a rebirth. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

The day of Madeleine's welcome party arrives and you are beyond nervous, why do you care so much what the people at court will think of you re-entering society?

You suppose the only opinions you actually care about is your friends, you didn't have the best up brining with a lot of friends and you absolute hated being in big crowds as it always triggered your social anxiety.

You look outside at Madeleine's estate from the windows you take in the beautiful fountain, the rose bushes and the lush green grass and sigh.

Maxwell knocks on your door later in the afternoon.

'Rose?' He asks gently when you look towards the door.

'come in' you say silently and look back out the window.

Maxwell senses your distress and goes over and sits down next to you.

'what's on your mind?' Maxwell asks you softly as he puts his hand lightly on top of yours.

'I really am that transparent aren't I?' you asks and sigh

' Only because I know my bestest friend'

' It's been almost two months since I've heard from anyone besides you and Bertrand.. I thought at least.. '

'Drake would have reached out?' Maxwell finishes the sentence for you and gives you a knowing look.

you nod and lean your head on his shoulder and avoid his gaze that you can feel lingering on you.

' To be fair, Drake usually keeps to himself.. sometimes months go by before we talk. You know how much nobles drain him'

' oh' is the best response you can muster at the moment as it feels like a knife has been twisted into your stomach.

What if you won't hear from Drake for months or ever again? Just thinking about it hurts so much. Before Maxwell has any time to reassure you Bertrand enters your room

' Lady Rose, you need to get ready for the welcome party. Remember this is your grand re-entrance to courtly society. You must look impeccable'

Bertrand hands you an elegant blue dress and you go to the bathroom and change into it. You take in yourself in the dress in the mirror, the dress accentuates your chest without being too lowcut and it hugs your curves in all the right places. The dress isn't something you would have ever chosen for yourself but it's very pretty, it's knee length, silk and it has beautiful sequins on the bottom of the dress.

As you walk out both Bertrand and Maxwell reassure you that you look absolutely gorgeous and you smile at them before thanking them for them dress before walking out of your room and towards the party.

Once the doors open to the grand hall of Madeleine's manor you can hear people gasping and whispering and they are staring at you. You notice the press looking at you as well. It's showtime.

You plaster a fake smile on your face as you enter the grand hall and you squeeze Maxwell's arm for support and he grins at you.

'You're doing well Rose'

'Thank you Max' you say thankfully and try to relax at least a little

you manage to curtsy and introduce yourself to Madeleine's mother, catch up with Penelope and Kiara and you find out they are part of Madeleine's bachelorette party. You congratulate Madeleine on her engagement with Liam and somehow you manage not to get frustrated too much by Madeleine's rude behaviour. You definitely don't care enough about her to care what she thinks of you.

As you turn around you see Liam for the first time in two months and while you don't harbour any romantic feelings for him, you still care about him and want to free him from Madeleine.

'Lady Rose I was not expecting to see you...' Liam says shocked

'Liam! I missed you'

'I've.. I've missed you too' he says and looks at you with a sad expression on his face.

'we need to --'

Liam is interrupted by Madeleine as she puts her hand on his arm and leans in to kiss his cheek before she guides him away.

You and Maxwell walk around the room and you lean in and say ' if Drake comes back at court then

I need to tell Liam the truth. He deserves to know that while I do care for him that I do not love him. He deserves that much. He doesn't deserve to be lead on'.

'I know you want to let him know and you should Rose but I think you should wait until you have spoken with Drake until you make up your mind'

'I don't want to hurt Liam or get his hopes up, but I do need to talk to Drake first'

Maxwell guides you over to the table Bertrand is sitting at and you all share your information that you have learned tonight, you learn that Tariq has left court and the best way to clear your name is to make him make a statement of what really happened the night he was tricked into your room under false pretences. Both of you were played and clearly whoever is behind this wanted him out of court so he couldn't tell everyone the truth.

As you lie in bed at night and stare at the ceiling you sigh, you just want this whole scandal thing to be over, you want to start over in Cordonia not as a queen but as one of the people. You wish Hana and Drake were here right now as you miss them dearly.

If things are real between you and Drake you want to find out in whatever shape it can take, all you know right now is that you long for more time with him.

You wonder when he will return to court and if at he will be back soon at all. As much as your heart yearns for him most of all you miss the group hangouts with him and his friendship.

You wake up the next morning to a soft knock on the door, you yawn and stretch before you go over to the door to open it

'Max.. isn't this kind of ear-'

'Rose!!'

You gawk at the person standing in the doorway, it isn't Maxwell it's Hana. You didn't think you would see her again. You thought she would be back home with her dreadful and controlling parents.

You have spent many nights worried for your best friend and her well being, now that she's standing in front of you it feels like an illusion or a dream.

You grab her waist gently and pull her into a bone crushing hug and she hugs you back just as fiercely.

'oh Hana! I missed you so much' you exclaim happily as you still hang onto her for dear life.

' I missed you too'

as you slowly let go of her you go to sit down on your bed and she follows you and sit down across from you.

' I was so worried that you weren't coming back'

' To be honest I didn't think I was either. '

'Does your parents know you're here?

'I'm here with their blessing actually. Countess Madeleine called my father and invited me to stay in Cordonia as part of the wedding party and she promised my parents she would help me find a match worthy of the family name'

'Oh Hana that's great! It is great right??...Wait.. Is this what you really want?'

You were so happy she was back but the pressure of her finding someone and her parents expectations for her were too much pressure. Plus it was highly unlikely they approved of the two of you being friends after the scandal and because you encouraged her to be free instead of caged in like some sort of bird.

Hana seems to think about her response for a minute.

' When I heard you were coming back I couldn't get back to Cordonia fast enough. You are the real reason I want to be here'

You put your hand on top of hers and smiled. It truly was good to see her.

'What made you decide to come back?'

' Well my decision to come back was threefold really, I want to clear my name and save Liam from Madeleine because he deserves better and I really want to spend more time with -'

'Drake?' Hana adds and nudges her shoulder into yours

' That obvious huh?'

' I mean it's the way you look at each other when you think no one is looking'

'Oh' you feel your cheeks get warm and you smile widely

'I want to help you clear your name Rose, I hate the idea of anyone scheming against you... anyway.. Have you seen Drake yet? He wouldn't stop talking about how we need to stop the people who are scheming against you'

Ohhh. So he did want to talk to you? You wondered why he hadn't reached out yet. Wondered if he was okay. You missed his grumpy face.

Before you can answer Hana there's a knock on the door and you open it to reveal Maxwell and he lights up when he sees Hana, he rushes over to her and pull her into a hug, you join them.

' I feared we wouldn't see you ever again! Bertrand was convinced you were gone for good'

' It's really good to see you as well Max' Hana says earnestly

Hana, you and Maxwell head to the estate's boutique together so both you and Hana can get ready for Madeleine's engagement party. Changing is for sure more fun when you are around your bestest friend. Maxwell leaves to prep things for later with Bertrand.

You look through the different dresses for something nice to wear.

' So... you've been here for the last day.. how has everything been?'

' Oh so much better now that you are here' you admit you have missed her so so very much

'I came just in time then' Hana smiles at you before squeezing your shoulder softly

' Promise me we will always keep in touch.. Hana, I can't do any of this without you near me' you admit shyly as Hana finds you a gorgeous pink dress for you to try on.

' I will do my very best to make sure that won't happen' she reassures you as you turn around and go into the changing room.

Once you have tried the dress on you show it to Hana, it's a white silk dress with pastel pink lace over it, it's knee length with short sleeves. Hana helps you sip up the dress

' Soo.. what do we think of the dress?' you say and twirl

' You look like you're ready to knock them all out with your beauty'

' Thank you Hana, you are far too kind.. I never got the chance to ask you but.. how does your parents feel about us being friends after everything that has happened recently?' you ask nervously, you hope Hana hasn't been upset because your friendship.

' they haven't been too happy I'm afraid'

' Should I keep my distance until the scandal dies down?' you ask in a wounded tone of voice

You don't want to stay away from your best friend but you also don't want to to cause her any more harm than your kindship has probably already caused her. You will stay away from her if you must but the thought saddens you deeply.

' my parents are dear to me.. But they cannot stop us from being close'

'I'm proud of you for standing your ground. I know how hard that can be'

Hana goes into the dressing room and comes out in a beautiful pink dress that's made out of silk, you lock elbows with each other and head out of the boutique.

Once you and Hana reach the lawn outside Madeleine's grounds Madeleine spots the two of you and she looks furious for a minute before her expression becomes stoic. Madeleine makes a toast thanking her mother, the king and queen and Liam. Madeleine is obviously trying to make you jealous as she kisses Liam's cheek but you just resist the urge to roll your eyes, if she only knew where your heart belonged...

Madeleine approaches you to remind you that because of her Hana is back and that you should both be grateful to her, you thank her in a sarcastic voice, if she ever hurts Hana you will pounce. No one gets to hurt her and you do not trust Madeleine, not around Liam and certainly not around Hana.

Liam comes over and join your conversation, he's happy to see Hana again, he mentions that it's good to see you as well and says that you're beautiful and you smile at him. Once he leaves Madeleine reminds you that he belongs to her especially when they are out in public.

You resist to roll your eyes at her and once she leaves you and Hana burst out laughing.

' If she only knew the truth' Hana comments and you giggle again.

Bertrand and Maxwell comes to escort you and Hana away from the crowd and into the ball room to talk to you. It seems very urgent so you agree and follow them, once you reach the ballroom you give them a serious look.

'what's the matter? You ask cautiously

' Tariq's not just out of court, it appears that he is out of the country so finding him will not be easy' Bertrand confirms what you had already feared. Clearing your name will be so much harder now.

'Madeleine doesn't seem to know were he is either.. If what she says is the truth.. what do we do now?'

' At the moment there isn't much for us to investigate... however our next stop is Applewood Manor where the photos were taken.. I believe there must be clues there. In fact we are going to head up there before the tour does. Once the festivities end we will go there'.

You and Hana head up to your bedroom with cinnamon, cups, chocolate powder, marshmallows, whipped cream and milk to make hot chocolate. While Hana makes you both a cup of hot chocolate you two catch up on lost time. It's good to be in her presence again.

Hana lets you know that her parents where disappointed with her performance during the courting season and that they limited her access to the outside world after, you feel angry on her behalf and upset that it might have been because of your influence. You let Hana know that if she ever needs anything that you have her back and you apologize if your actions hurt her but she reassures you that it was not your fault. The two of you decide to talk about happier things but the guilt you feel for how she was treated hurts your heart deeply.

'What qualities do you look for in a future partner.. And what drew you in particular to Drake?' Hana asks you shyly

you look at her for a moment taking in her expression. You wonder if she has ever had many boyfriends or even girlfriends before her previous engagement.

You have dated a few men and women and you have been attacked to different looks and different personalities. But there has always been one common personality trait that's drawn you in the most.

' I take it you haven't dated much?' you ask softly

'Only my ex finance really and that didn't end very successfully' Hana says earnestly.

' I've been attracted to different things in the past but the one common trait they all had was that they were kind. Drake is -despite being very grumpy at times – very kind, he's funny, fiercely loyal and overall he's just a total softy' you say and look at her warmly

' When it comes to dating Hana go for the person who makes you happy, who values you and treasures your connection'

' I shall think of that next time someone catches my eye'

'And Hana?' you ask as you put your hand on hers and squeezes it gently

'Yes Rose?'

'Don't settle for less than you deserve, you are funny, sweet, extremely talented and you deserve the world... Don't ever forget that'

Hana seems speechless so she nods and puts her head on your shoulder.

In the evening you decide to go for an evening walk around the grounds, you spot someone in the darkness, he's dark haired, tall and in a jean jacket -

'Dr- Drake!' you exclaim and as the person turns around you see that is Drake.

Can I just say I wish I could have done halloweekend with the f1 frat

Carlos is making out with some girl while a different girl in a costume that clearly goes with his is standing 100 feet away, pouting

Jack and Liam are working the door, telling guys they’re not allowed in if they have full face masks

Lando’s going outside to make sure the entire pledge class of girls he’s befriended make it in

Pierre’s locking his bedroom door so that people don’t see his big room (perks of being president) and decide to put coats there (he will take his girl’s down there, though, since he asked her to be there and doesn’t she look so pretty and it would be a shame if she froze in her little costume on the way home tomorrow morning)

Max is doing the absolute least, literally just wearing some jersey and saying he’s a football player or whatever

Charles has charmed some girl into cuddling with him on the couch even though he’s wearing that stupid banana suit he loves so much

Daniel has the biggest smile on his face when he sees his girl show up in her Princess Peach outfit to go with his Mario outfit, even when she rolls her eyes upon realizing that he’s actually given himself a mustache for this

halloweekend with the frats would be so crazy. the house would be filled to the brim. and the theme would be so cringey like "boos & booze" or smth like that

you've got everything down to a t babe, esp the pierre part. as someone who has fucked with a fraternity president for almost a year, i can attest that he had that door locked at ALL times. and we were together, i would so easily get the key to (1) put my stuff down and (2) use his clean bathroom. so you're soo right about that. and something about lando being friends with a whole pledge class of girls is both so funny and accurate. you know he's gunning for sorority sweetheart.

i think that max could go either way-- either super lazy or super into it. it depends on what the brothers bring to the table. but i can soooo see max in some kind of animal onesie, getting fucking WASTED. and by the end of the night the onesie is down + tied around his waist bc he's a sweaty drunk mess.

amen amen nonnie you really HIT with this brainrot fuuuuuck

[oh-ranpo]

Hii can you write William James Moriarty x reader who is his wife buuutttt they had a bet and liam won, soo on next Moriarty group meeting she had v1brator and liam controlled it.

ahhhh yes yes yes! not enough liam content around here, so thank you for the inspiration!

nsfw content lies ahead! 18+ only!

You loved your husband, you really did, but sometimes he could be insufferable. He was the smartest guy you knew, but you found nothing more infuriating than the fact that he always seemed to be right about everything. Even when you thought you could beat him, you always ended up disappointed. This time was no different.

The smug smile on his face as he sat next to you made you scowl, much to the confusion of everyone else in the room. It was rare for William to be smiling when you looked so put out, but they were also completely in the dark as to your current predicament. 

It had been a harmless bet. A bet that you were sure you could win, and ended up losing. Now, you had to face the punishment. If you had known what was going to be proposed, you might not have ventured to make the bet in the first place. Now, however, it was too late. 

You shifted slightly in your seat as you listened to Sebastian recount some of the intel he had gathered over the past week, and you tried your hardest not to glance over at your husband as he spoke. You knew what was coming, you just didn’t know when. He was a cheeky bastard when he wanted to be, and you knew that he was going to prolong your agony as long as possible.

William had his hands folded in his lap in a way that hid the tiny remote pressed against his palm. No one had seen him come in with it, and with every slight movement of his arm or hand, you couldn’t help your eyes from drifting over to them. You were trying to be discreet, you really were, but your nerves were on edge as you waited for your punishment to begin.

About ten minutes into the meeting, there was a discreet ‘click’ that sounded from next to you, and your breath caught in your throat the second your ears picked up on it. No one else around you seemed to notice, but no one else was anticipating it either. You had to clamp your hand down around the cushion beneath you to keep yourself from jumping as the slow vibration began between your legs. 

William’s expression didn’t change, but you did manage to draw the attention of his older brother as Albert regarded you curiously. Apparently, you weren’t being as discreet as you had hoped, and something in your facial expression had given you away.

“Are you alright?” He asked quietly, glancing between you and your husband as he tried to piece together what was going on between the two of you. Just before you could answer, there was another soft click, and the vibration grew stronger, causing your words to melt on your tongue as you fought back the moan that threatened to replace them. 

You arrogant son-of-a-

Your thoughts trailed off as you realized you still hadn’t answered, and you gave Albert a quick nod.

“I-I’m fine. Continue what you were saying, Sebastian.”

Your eyes flickered back over to your friend, but out of the corner of your eye, you saw Albert eyeing William with a discerning look on his face. One brother had already caught on to your weird behavior and it was only a matter of time before everyone else did. You could only hope that, even if they suspected something, they didn’t figure out what was really going on.

The vibration between your legs didn’t cease the entire time Sebastian and Fred were talking, and you could feel bits of your sanity starting to break. The only slight reprieve you found was that William didn’t try to touch you as he continued cradling the tiny remote in his hand, because you were sure if even a slight bit of his skin came in contact with yours, you would fall right over the edge. He was driving you crazy by barely doing a thing, and you were going to make him pay for what he was doing to you the second everyone else was gone. 

What felt like an eternity passed before another small clicking sound came from beside you, and the vibrations suddenly stopped. You heaved a small sigh of relief, but just as you felt your tense shoulders start to relax, the noise sounded again, and this time, the intensity was even higher than it had been before. Your legs started to shake as a squeak slipped past your lips, and William finally turned to look at you, his ruby irises regarding you with fake curiosity and a deep-rooted fire that had your toes curling.

“What’s wrong, darling? Are you not feeling well?” He asked, and while his tone could be mistaken for genuine concern, he was having trouble hiding his smile as he looked at you. He was openly teasing you now, and if you weren’t seconds away from losing grip on what little composure you had left, you would have returned his question with a snappy remark. But this time, all you could focus on was the growing pleasure that was beginning to course through you.

“You know what? Maybe I-I am coming down with something,” you murmured, your body shifting in hopes of relieving itself from the intense onslaught of vibrations. Your chest felt tight and you struggled to catch your breath as you tried to hold it together. However, with William looking at you with such a predatory look as he seemed to draw enjoyment out of your suffering, you were reaching the end of your rope. 

A warmth filled the pit of your stomach, and you couldn’t stop yourself from reaching out and grabbing William’s thigh now as you felt every muscle in your body start to grow tense. You tried to pass it off as feeling faint from being under the weather as every eye on the room was now on you. The height of your climax was coming, and just as that thread inside of you was about to snap, you heard the small click again and everything just… stopped. 

A growl slipped past your lips just as William coughed to cover it up, and you had to squeeze your eyes shut to mask the sudden rage that boiled up inside of you.

You were going to kill him. The second you were alone, he was dead. 

“I think this meeting has gone on long enough,” William stated just a few seconds later, his empty hand slipping down to cover yours that was now squeezing his thigh so hard it was sure to leave a bruise. “I think my wife is feeling quite ill so I must go and see that she get proper rest.”

Without another word, William was gently prying your hand away from his leg and standing from his seat as he pulled you up with him. Your eyes slowly slid back open, but you didn’t dare look at anyone else as he led you from the room and down the hall towards your shared bedroom.

“You’re the devil,” you hissed under your breath, earning a light laugh in response. “You are an actual demon sent straight from-“

You didn’t have a chance to finish your statement before William had you pressed against the now shut door of your room, his lips covering yours hastily to silence you. The urgency in his kiss was felt all the way down to your core, and despite how furious you had been - and still were - you eagerly kissed him back as your hands moved to thread into the back of his hair.

“It’s not my fault you lost the bet,” he smiled against your lips when he finally pulled away. “But did you really think I was going to let you get off with a vibrator in front of our family? No. No, that job belongs to me and me alone in the privacy of our own quarters.”

His words sent a chill down your spine as his crimson eyes burned with a desire that you could feel radiating inside of your own chest.

“Well, Mr. Moriarty, I’d say it’s time you got to work. After all, you have a lot to make up for,” you smirked, and William smiled devilishly again before leaning in to kiss you once more. 

It had only been a harmless bet… but one that you would make again if it ended like this every time. 

[lovekenney]

if you could rate the gallagher’s from worst to best what would your rating be? (only the siblings)

i wanna be able to rank them js in a list but idk if i can. So I was trying to decide if you were asking me if I could like, rank my personal favorite to least personal favorite.

but I eventually decided to do this, have it go from the worst person in general to the best person in general. And not have the answers simply be "I like debs the most so she Is gonna be last"

i have a whole list of reasons why i heavily dislike Fiona. it is honestly pretty long. so in my head i want to put her first but i also want to put lip first. but thinking back when i watched shameless I remember js being baffled by the shit she did. so i think i will go with Fiona as number one and lip js right behind her. like right behind her. or maybe js put them both in the same ranking.

1: Fiona & lip

2: whoever goes next

now i am trying to decide between Ian or Debbie for the next one. i love debs don't get me wrong and will almost always defend her. (key word: almost) but she has done some stuff that could be deemed as not very good.

soo i was thinking back on shitty things Ian Gallagher has done and then shitty things Debbie has done, and a lot of ians lead back to his bipolar. so for this i am gonna put Debbie as 2nd. (or third?) but part of me thinks she should js join lip and fiona. (/j)

i love debbie so much she is on of my all time fav characters (the other being mickey) but sadly this isnt a ranking of my favs but a ranking of shitty shit they have done. so debbie is gonna go there. (i do understand exactly why she does everything she does and how it is all mostly linked back to her parents plus fiona.)

so next i am gonna say ian. i never disliked ian while watching shameless he was always one of my favs. but getting more into the fandom after finishing shameless made me see him in a new light and not particularly a good light. ian has done some shitty things but thats the whole point of the show. so ian for 3rd (or fourth?)

bringing me to carl! carl wasn't that bad of a person if you just cut out white boy carl. in the first few seasons he is really painted as this just sociopath but also not at the same time. like cancer carl was so sad cause he was also sweet. but also he blowtorched cats. buttt he really was a sweetheart. like when Fiona was in jail or getting the house back. so, number 4th. (or fifth?)

and last but not least Liam. what a sweetie i love him with every bone in my body. And I mean, Liam is just a kid, he hasn't done anything wrong, he's like 11 in the last season.

so the list would be

1: fiona and lip

2: debbie

3: ian

4: carl

5: Liam

_________________________________________

1996

THE KNOCKING SOUND of the door echoes in her tiny apartment

Laying down with a book in my hands Y/N reaches for her record player to stop the music playing

“dammit,I really love Bowie”

She mutters to herself as she walks to the door watching the street lights through the window

she takes a glimpse of the peephole and a boy with a bowl cut hair and huge jacket is all she see’s

“hmm…weird”

slowly opening the door

she is now face to face to some thick eyebrows and the bluest eyes she has ever seen in her life

“hello there…do you need something?” she asks with a worried look while leaning against the wall

“ello.. I dunno if your remember me but we met in my gig here in San Francisco a couple o’ weeks ago,we even talked for a bit…” the unique looking boy answers and takes a deep breath

“oh yea,I remember you,you’re Liam right?the lead singer of that band” excitement fills the girls voice as flashbacks from weeks ago came back immediately

“That’s me,you got it” he says with the same tone as her with a grin on his lips

“well,what can I do for yo-“quickly interrupting herself she proceeds asking “aren’t you supposed to be in Los Angeles at this very moment?”

“Yea…”he scratches the back of his head answering right after “I was supposed to be there,a few things happened…can I come in?my legs are killing me”

“come in come in,make yourself at home” she opens the door while moving her hand in welcoming movement,finally letting the strange good looking boy come in” soo,why do I own your incredible appearance at my house?/the boy scans her figure and takes his shoes as he walks into the living room

“me and r’kid had a huge fight over a silly situation and I really needed to get out of that environment”they walk slowly in direction of the stuffy blueish sofa with liam following right behind her,he couldn’t help but notice the girls bum and her shiny hai-“Liam stop it!If she catches you she’s gonna think you’re a weirdo” a voice in his head says

“it’s good to escape sometimes but I can feel from your energy that it’s not something temporary,I get the feeling that you’re gonna leave the band?are you going to?what about live forever?oh no I can’t let that happen you guys are so goo-“

“no no no,my brother is an asshole but I don’t hate him that much to end something that is really important to me”he interrupts the girl that had a freaked out expression seconds ago

“oh,that’s good..but why did you come here?”she moves herself a little closer to the boy on the sofa,almost touching his leg and analyzes his beautiful face features

“cause you’re the only person I could come to that no one would know where I went”

Y/N thought it was cute,a bit creepy,but overall cute that the boy had remembered due to the fact that both of them were pretty intoxicated when they met for the first time and she wouldn’t except him to think of her in that situation

“that’s okay,would you like some water,tea,coffee…?”

“I would love some tea,do you have some milk?”

“why milk?”

“to mix with the tea darling” she couldn’t lie and say that chills didn’t go trough her spine when he said the last word

“tea with milk?are you crazy?you British people are weird man!” she exclaims

“NO WE’RE NOT!you guys are” and they kept discussing their different cultural traditions along with some other topics

_____________________

the night had quickly become day and they hadn’t stopped talking for a second

the sun was rising in the horizon and the girl noticed as the natural light started to creep through her window

“c’mon,we have to see the sun rise”

Liam silently agrees,the boy has never met a girl as unique as Y/N and was absolutely loving the previous night that they shared with laughs and a bunch of talking

they walk to the girls porch,sitting next to each other, the only sound they hear is birds chipping and people walking quietly to their offices

the girl felt so blessed she had a job she loved and didn’t demand 100% of her time

she works in a small record store just down the street owned by her amazing dad,probably that’s why she has many vinyl records on her bedroom

of course Liam noticed them and the night before that was one of the main topics they talked about

while watching the sun the girl rests her head in Liam’s shoulder taking some time to really study his beautiful face

his eyes,his eyelashes,his thick eyebrows,his nose,his lips and his cheekbones

he was truly beautiful,one of the prettiest boys she had ever seen and she couldn’t pull her eye away of him

liam feel her eyes burning on his skin and he also faces the girl

“what?do I have something on me face?”

he asks,scared that after eating the pot noodles yesterday,some of the soup was still around his lips

“there’s nothing on your face,it’s that”…she takes a pause “you are really beautiful”

the boy was awe

of course he knew he wasn’t a bad looking guy but receiving a compliment from a girl like Y/N who is super close to his face and staring him intensity is new to him

“thank you,you are not so bad yourself” her cheeks are now burning red as she unties her ponytail so hair falls in front of her face and hides her redness

the sun light makes liam eyes brighter and again the girl is hypnotized by them

their faces are getting closer

and their breathing is also getting shakier

finally their lips are touching

the softness of y/n’s lips and a light taste of peppermint mix perfectly with the roughness of his and the taste of cigarettes

they are both moving in sync in every way possible

it feels like even their soul is connected through their lips

liam’s hand squeezes her hips and the other is caressing her hair

after seconds that truly felt like minutes they pull away with y/n giving small pecks on his lips

“that was…wow” both of them are speechless and a comfortable silence stables and (this time) Liam is the one the lean into the girl’s shoulder

the comfortable silence is interrupted by the sound of lighting and the weather quickly changes

“oh man wtf,how is it raining?it was sunny seconds ago” the girl complains and they get into the house again

“now it’s really starting to feel like home” Liam jokes and puts his hand on her back

“how can you deal with rain everyday?”y/n asks

“dunno mate,when I was born it was already like that”

mag 122 — zombie

The statement definitely feels like a Fear Soup between the Spiral, the Stranger, and the Lonely each sharing a solid enough meal. It's interesting because thinking about the statement giver's perceptions of other people can be attributed to each Fear that specifically plays on the construct of "this Person is Other"

The Lonely: the hollow, soulless people sound like the empty masked figures in MAG 108: Monologue

The Stranger: the Man's skin giving way easily like a canvas and the flat, automated speech: "Just fine, thank you for asking!"

The Spiral: solipsism is the belief that only one's own mind can truly be known to exist, so Lorell's reality in the case would literally be her perception of it. Lorell is the only one who can see these zombies. She is so certain that Liam is a zombie (but from the sound of it, his reactions sound completely normal) and later, she doubts if Norma had ever been real or if the Man had taken her soul.

I also want to shout out the Extinction seasoning again in this Fear Soup! The very last thing Lorell ends her statement on is the feeling that she might very well be the only real person left in the world, where everyone else has been hollowed out and replaced by the "soulless horde".

I love TMA's take on zombies going the philosophical "brains = souls" route instead of the gory "eat brains!" route. It's so much more interesting generally just as food-for-thought but also of course as its connection to the narrative where Jon is now — wondering how human he feels, how much he's actually changed (he even makes a joke about it afterwards lol)

But he doesn’t need to worry too much about that… He still feels guilt at being alive while Tim is not and Daisy is M.I.A. He still worries about Melanie and Martin (especially Martin hehe) and hopes they are okay. He is still so soo human in all the ways that matter it Hurts ;___;

@a-mag-a-day

[natimiles]

hello dear Nati I hope not to bother as ever but I am too into Mina and Roger these days please tell me more how do they meet ? what was the thing/moment that made one another realize that yes they are in love with the other ? and above all what kind of gifts they would give one another ? which is their favourite hobby and kind of dates ?

I want to know ALL about them I ship them already soo much I can't wait to see more of them and of their story. 😍😍🙏🙏

Hiii, Julie! Sorry it took me a while, I was organizing the thoughts, hehe. A chance to gush about Roger and Mina?? Definitely not a bother! HASOUHEHUASOEA.

Okay, so… Mina is the MC. So she ends up in Crown by accident and becomes their Fairytale Keeper. She starts helping Roger with his research, he asks her to be his human subject, but nothing that would kill her, ahsehasoeusa. She also helps him to take care of the others when they’re injured, so she’s kinda his assistant. Which means, she’s in the basement with him all the time.

A tension grows, Roger kisses her, and she’s pissed. So she goes back, kisses him so they’re even and leave. And after that they start to casually make out. She always had a sort of interest in him, something about him intrigued her. And same for Roger about her. After a while, Mina notices she is developing feelings for Roger, but she knows he doesn’t really believe in love.

I have this scene in my head where they’re all having a meal in the dining room, talking about random things, how things are going for her in Crown and stuff. And then Harrison asks if she has romantic feelings for Roger. Mina lies and says “no” and her face is desperately asking Harry to not say anything about it. But he’s a little shit and he says “it’s a lie”. It’s silent for a moment… And then Mina wants to beat the shit out of him and someone needs to actually hold her back, HASUEUHASHUOEA. I wanna write it someday, I need to play a little more with the idea, and how it ends. But this is what makes them talk about feelings, and how they end up together. So in the end, Mina isn’t so mad with Harry anymore, HUASUHEASU.

For gifts… Mina has a sweet tooth, like I said hehe. She also likes books, cooking and baking, playing the piano, and butterflies. Anything he gives her related to these things, she’ll love. Like a cookbook she wanted, a new music sheet, some accessories or a new dress with butterflies… She likes plants, but she can’t take care of them, so she’s not a fan of receiving flowers. She would love chocolate flowers though, HUASEHUOASESA. Of course, she will love anything Roger gives her.

For Roger, she would give him new medical books. A new pair of boxing gloves, or some other thing he can use while boxing so he can think of her while doing it. Some rare beers he can taste. And even cooking and baking his favorite things so they can eat it together.

And for dates, they like going out to have a nice meal. Mina doesn’t drink, but she can happily sip her juice while Roger drinks his beer, HUASEUSA. Picnics in the garden, window shopping in town, taking Ale to a walk. He’ll even accompany her when she wants to watch Liam’s new play. He’s more patient and devoted than most people think, in my humble simp opinion.

Thank you for asking all this! It also helped me to decide some things, HUAHSUEASHUO. I’ll definitely write for them, I just need to finish some things I’m currently doing hehe
