Peace
Azriel x reader
Summary: Azriel finally finding peace in the morning with you
note: Yes there is no plot. Yes it's just fluff. And yes this is one fic I want to dedicate to @thelov3lybookworm the amount of fluff in this fic is half the amount of love I have for her. ILYSM YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING AND MORE <3 (ignore any mistakes ty)
Tumblr media
The soft rays of sunlight peeked through the window bathing me in golden warmth. It’s as if my day was already off to a good start. Well it always was if Azriel was beside me. 
I turned slightly to see his eyes shut, eyelashes longer than most females brushing his cheek, full lips in the slightest of smiles. 
He looked peaceful and knowing how hard it was for him to sleep I decided letting him lie in was the best option. Trying to untangle myself from his firm grip was a harder task than I had thought it would be. Azriel inched closer for every little space I created between the two of us, his face resting in the crook of my neck. 
Finally accepting defeat and realizing I wouldn’t be able to leave without waking him up I gently shook his shoulder “Azriel?” 
All I got in return was a slight groan and him stretching out his wings before folding them again. He was not going to make this easy. 
“Az. My love I need to get up” I tried again, running my hand down his arm, the warmth of his body seeping into me. Slowly opening his eyes he blinked at me for a few moments as if making sure it was me next to him. Once he had taken in my whole face his lips turned up into the softest smiles I had seen, my heart doing backflips at his unrelenting gaze. 
“Morning sweetheart” His voice was hoarse from having just woken up and I could tell he was still tired. Pressing a kiss to my forehead he loosened his grip so I could slip out of bed.
I made my way to the balcony that connected to our room watching as the sun rose, spilling light onto all of Velaris. I could see the Sidra from here and all the small shops still with their closed signs, the sight of my favourite bakery already making my mouth water. I loved peaceful mornings like these.
As I stood on the balcony, taking in the peaceful sight of Velaris, I felt calm and as if nothing could go wrong today. The Sidra shimmered below in the morning light, and the buildings, with their intricately carved facades and soft pastel colours, seemed to reflect the tranquillity I was feeling. The air smelled faintly of fresh bread and sweet pastries, the hint of black coffee in the air reminding me to get some for Az when I stopped by there later in the morning.
Azriel’s footsteps were soft as he joined me, the warmth of his chest pressing gently against my back as he wrapped his arms around my waist. The morning was already warm enough, but his body heat was a comforting cocoon, making me sink back against him, feeling safe and grounded.
“So eager to escape from me already?” he teased softly, his voice still raspy with sleep. His fingers brushed lightly over my arm, sending a shiver down my spine.
I laughed in response, tilting my head back to meet his gaze. His eyes were a rich, golden brown in the early light, and the way he looked at me made my heart flutter. “I’d hardly call it escaping, Az. More like… slipping away.”
“Mmm,” he murmured, leaning down to press a kiss to the top of my head. “That’s even worse. Because then you might think you’re getting away, and I can’t have that.”
I could feel his smile against my hair, a grin that promised more. Turning in his arms, I brushed a stray lock of his dark hair back, fingers lingering as I gently trailed them down the side of his face. “If anyone’s ever tried to slip away from you, I don’t imagine they’d get very far.”
He chuckled, a low, rich sound that vibrated against me, his wings giving a small, lazy stretch. “True” He admitted. “But you know I’d never stop you”
I raised an eyebrow, amused. “You’d let me slip away?”
“I’d let you slip,” he murmured, pulling me closer, his lips brushing against my temple. “I’d just follow. And we’d end up right back here.”
His words were like honey and they made me melt into him even more. Gods was he perfect. And so were his words.
For a while, we both simply stood there, looking out at the world together. His hands were warm on my back, his breath soft and steady as he held me. Azriel’s rare moments of vulnerability, when he allowed himself to simply be around me, made me want to kiss every part of him, wanting him to know how I loved that he trusted me. He carried so much on his shoulders, the weight of past scars and current burdens that few knew of. He was gentle in ways he hardly acknowledged and I hated when he thought otherwise.
After a long moment, he gave a small sigh and rested his chin on my shoulder, his gaze distant as if he was already halfway out of Velaris. I knew what he was going to say so I beat him to it.
“Rhys is sending you out again soon, isn’t he?” I asked gently.
He nodded, his jaw tensing a little as he looked down at the city. “We’ve been getting reports from the borders. Faint movement.... but we're not sure what it is” His hand tightened on my waist as he spoke, and I felt his tension rise. “Rhys wants me to go in quietly, see what’s really going on.”
I placed a hand over his, giving him a reassuring squeeze. “You’ll handle it, Az. You always do. Just....be careful”
He looked at me, a mixture of tenderness and determination in his gaze. “Always, for you.” His fingers brushed a stray lock of hair from my face. “I’d never leave you waiting.”
A faint smile touched his lips, but it didn’t reach his eyes. I hated goodbye's. But I couldn't stop them, so savouring every moment I had with him was crucial.
The sun continued to rise, casting golden light over the rooftops. “I’ll come back before you even miss me,” he murmured, the shadow of a smile on his face. As if he knew what I was thinking.
“I’ll hold you to that” I whispered, wrapping my arms around him a little tighter.
P.s) I haven't written in a while so I'm still trying to figure out who was on my taglist sorryy lovelies <3 also I would have posted this earlier except...idk how to que posts properly it seems

Short n’ Sweet💋
Hugh Jackman x Fem!Sister!Reynolds!Reader
Warnings: none
Part 21
Series Masterlist
And Everyone Makes Mistakes
💋💛💋💛💋💛💋💛💋💛💋💛💋💛💋💛💋
The next morning, you rolled over in bed, replaying the events of the night before in your head. The emotions were still raw, and you couldn't shake the feeling of uncertainty that lingered in the air. As you stared up at the ceiling, your thoughts kept drifting back to Hugh. You wondered if you should give him another chance, or if it was just too soon to trust him again.
In that moment of weakness, his words had felt so real, so genuine. You couldn't deny the way your heart fluttered when he told you he loved you. But at the same time, you knew you needed to protect yourself. The pain of the breakup was still fresh, and you couldn't bear the thought of getting hurt again. It was a painful mix of emotions, and you couldn't seem to shake off the uncertainty that was eating at you.
You dragged yourself out of bed and wandered into the kitchen, finding Megan already there with a cup of coffee waiting for you. She knew you too well and could read your emotions like an open book. She said nothing as she handed you the coffee, just gave you a knowing look that said more than words ever could.
Megan’s casual tone barely concealed the curiosity that was burning in her gaze. "So, you and Hugh?" she asked, trying to sound nonchalant, but you knew better. Her eyes were practically begging for details, and you couldn't help but feel a mix of guilt, sadness, and excitement all at once.
You took a deep breath, staring down into your coffee as if the answer the cup held the answer to everything. "I don't know," you whispered, almost to yourself more than Megan. The uncertainty weighed heavily on your shoulders. "He apologized. We talked and stuff," You trailed off, struggling to find the words to express the tangle of emotions swirling inside you.
You sighed, your voice trembling slightly as you spoke. "Don’t get me wrong it was fun and passionate, but it was also messy and complicated. Even though he apologized, I'm not ready to leap again so quickly. I can't deal with that pressure right now."
Megan nodded understandingly, placing a gentle hand on your shoulder. "I get it. It's okay to take your time. You deserve to protect your heart, you know." Her voice was soft and comforting, a soothing balm for your wounded emotions.
You nodded, a sense of determination building within you. "He'll have to work for it, Megan. My trust won't be easily won again." You spoke firmly, making it clear that you wouldn't let him off the hook easily. He had to earn your trust and prove that he was worth it.
"No more dressing room fun or moments of weakness, he's on his last chance." She spoke with conviction.
You walk down the hall to retrieve your phone, which was charging on the nightstand in the bedroom, and your heart skipped a beat when you saw the notification from Hugh. It wasn't surprising, but still, a mix of emotions fluttered inside you as you unlocked the screen to read his messages.
Your heart fluttered as you read his flirty and sweet texts. "Good morning, beautiful. I can't stop thinking about you.“
You replied with a short and simple “Good morning ❤️ it’s nice to know I still have that effect on you,” trying to keep your response measured and not get too invested too quickly. You knew you had to protect your heart, even though the butterflies in your stomach were going crazy.
As you hit send on your reply, you leaned back against the headboard, running your fingers through your hair. The memories of the previous night were still fresh in your mind, but you knew you couldn't let them cloud your judgment.
You picked up your phone at the sudden buzz, and your heart rate accelerated a bit as you saw another message from Hugh. "I couldn't sleep all night thinking about you," his message read. "Can I see you today?" He asked, his words making your stomach do a little backflip.
You hated the feeling. It was so confusing, and you couldn't help but curse him for messing things up the first time. You typed back, "I'm really busy today. I’ve got another show tonight." You hesitated before adding, "But maybe tomorrow?" It felt like a safe response, and deep down, a small part of you was hopeful he would agree.
After a few moments, your phone buzzed again, and his response flashed on the screen. "Tomorrow, then. I can't wait." His message was short and sweet, and you couldn't help but feel a slight flutter in your stomach. Despite everything, a small part of you was excited to see him.
You couldn't help but feel a sense of relief when you read his response. The fact that he seemed to understand and respect your need for time and space was a good sign. It made you hopeful that maybe things could be different this time around. He was on thin ice, but it was a start.
The rehearsal was going smoothly until Ryan burst into the room, his energetic presence filling the space. "Alright, where's my wig and heels?" he demanded, his usual enthusiasm in full swing.
You looked at him in confusion, your eyebrows furrowing as you tried to process his unexpected presence. "What are you doing here, Ryan?" you asked, trying to hide your surprise.
He smirks, “Oh, you didn’t know? I’m in the show. SURPRISE!” Your eyebrows shot up in surprise at his revelation. "Wait, what? You're in the show?" You asked your confusion now mixed with disbelief.
“Yeah! You wouldn’t believe the type of cash I had to fork up but I’m sure it will be worth it.” Your jaw dropped as Ryan informed you that he was now a part of the show. You couldn't believe he had paid for his way into the production. "Okay, but why is Ryan Reynolds crashing my concert?" you asked, your voice tinged with a mix of curiosity and surprise.
“Oh, I’m not,” Ryan's smirk spoke volumes, and it only fueled your curiosity even more. Your eyes widen in surprise and amusement as Ryan reveals the Deadpool mask. "No way," you exhaled, a mix of shock and laughter escaping you.
You couldn't help but burst into laughter at Ryan's enthusiasm. "Oh my god, this is going to be so ridiculous!" you exclaimed, your voice filled with excitement. The thought of Deadpool crashing the show was both outrageous and hilarious.
Ryan leaned into the subject right away, his tone casual but with a hint of curiosity. "So, you and Hugh, what's the deal?" His question hung in the air, and you couldn't help but feel a mix of defensiveness and vulnerability.
You took a moment to steady your nerves before replying, a guarded expression crossing your face. "There's no deal," you said, maybe a little too quickly. "We're just... talking." Your words sounded uncertain even to your own ears. “Think you’ll give it another shot?”
You hesitated for a moment, not quite sure how to answer. "I don't know," you admitted finally, a small hint of vulnerability slipping into your tone. "It's complicated, and I'm still figuring things out." You couldn't help but feel a mix of hope, fear, and uncertainty as Ryan probed deeper into your personal life.
"It's just... he hurt me, you know?" you added, your voice quieter now. The memories of the previous breakup still stung, and you could feel a knot forming in your stomach as you recalled the pain of it all. "I want to believe he’s sorry, but I don't trust him yet." Your words slipped out, revealing a deeper layer of your guarded heart.
Ryan listened intently, his expression softening as he heard the pain and doubt in your voice. "I get it," he said, his tone gentle and understanding. "It's okay to take your time and be careful." His words were a comforting reminder that you didn't have to rush into anything, even if part of you longed for forgiveness and another chance.
You spent the rest of the rehearsal working with Ryan, choreographing the element of his surprise appearance. With each run-through, his enthusiasm and energy filled the room, bringing a new dimension to the performance. The anticipation was building, and you couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension at the thought of having Deadpool crash the show.
Your phone buzzed with a call from Hugh just as you walked into your dressing room, catching you off guard and triggering a mix of emotions. You hesitated before answering, your heart racing with a blend of hope and apprehension.
You took a deep breath and pressed the answer button, bringing the phone to your ear. Your voice was softer than usual as you spoke. "Hello?"
“Hey, sweetheart. Just wanted to wish you luck. Not that you’ll need it,” A mix of emotions washed over you as you heard Hugh's voice, the term "sweetheart" making your heart flutter. You couldn't help but feel a pang of both affection and caution. "Thank you. I’ll need it. Deadpool is crashing my set in the second half," you replied.
Hugh laughed, “I can imagine he’s excited.” You chuckled softly, describing Ryan's enthusiasm. "Yeah, he's practically vibrating with excitement. It's a little insane," you admitted, a small smile tugging at your lips. The thought of the chaos that the Deadpool appearance might bring both thrilled and terrified you.
“Well I was going to just show up, but I didn’t want to overstep. Would you mind if I came tonight?” You paused for a moment, surprised by Hugh's request to attend the show. The butterflies in your stomach fluttered as you contemplated his words. A mix of emotions swirled within you - curiosity, excitement, and the lingering remnants of hesitance. "I..." you began, your voice quiet. "I don't mind," you finally replied, the words slipping out before you fully realized the weight of them. "Come, if you want."
Hugh's smile could almost be heard through the phone line, his words a mix of excitement and anticipation. "I'll see you tonight, then," he said in a soft, affectionate tone. The promise of his presence at the show sent a small shiver down your spine, making you both anxious and exhilarated.
As the hair and makeup artists worked their magic, your mind remained preoccupied with thoughts of Hugh. The memories of your time together, both good and bad, swirled through your mind, causing a mix of emotions and anticipation to build within you. A small knot formed in your stomach as you realized how deeply he still affected you, and you couldn't shake away the butterflies in your stomach.
A deep ache settled in your heart as you realized the depth of your feelings for him. No one else could compare to the way he made you feel, both in and out of the bedroom. It was a mix of longing, confusion, and hope that played out in your mind.
The first part of the show went smoothly, with the audience responding enthusiastically to each song. The energy in the venue was electric, and you felt a rush of adrenaline with every note you sang. The applause, cheers, and support from the crowd fueled your performance, and for those brief moments on stage, all your worries seemed to fade away.
Just as you prepared to make your Juno arrest, the atmosphere shifted dramatically as the stage lights suddenly dimmed and a familiar Marvel superhero strolled out. The crowd's cheers reached a crescendo as Deadpool sauntered onto the stage, sporting a wig and a pair of your boots. The surreal scene was a mix of unexpected and entertaining, capturing everyone's attention.
Your eyes widen in pretend shock as you spot Deadpool on stage, your voice filled with mock outrage. "What the hell?" you exclaimed, playing along with the unexpected twist. "What do you think you're doing up here, Deadpool?" you demanded, trying to maintain your composure as the audience roared with laughter.
Wade, in his signature Deadpool persona, grinned widely as he stood center stage. "Well, hello there. Nice booties you got here," he said with a wink. The crowd erupted in laughter, loving every bit of the unexpected turn. He sauntered around the stage, soaking up the attention and the adoration.
You look at the crowd and back to Deadpool. “Uh, Pool. I’m kinda in the middle of something here.” Wade, in character as Deadpool, smirked at your response, his words dripping with sarcasm and playfulness. "Oh, I'm aware. Just thought I'd add some extra flavor to the show," he replied, gesturing to the stage and the crowd. "Isn't it more fun with a touch of unpredictable chaos?"
The audience was absolutely loving the unexpected crossover, laughing and cheering as they watched the banter unfold. The anticipation in the air grew heavier, wondering what would happen next during this impromptu cameo.
You took a deep breath and accepted the unexpected turn of events, crossing your arms as a subtle grin tugged at the corners of your mouth. "Fine, fine. I suppose a little improvisation wouldn't hurt." The crowd roared with laughter and applause, loving the playful exchange between you and Deadpool.
The audience erupted into laughter and applause as Deadpool slid down the pole with a touch of sass, tossing the wig and striking a dramatic pose. He hammed it up, milking every moment for the entertainment of the crowd and playing into the comedic scene. His eccentric presence added a layer of humor and excitement to the show, making the audience eat it up.
You played along, pretending to be jealous of Deadpool's sudden spotlight, shouting, "This is my show!" The crowd laughed and cheered even louder, enjoying the dramatic back-and-forth between you and the quirky anti-hero.
Wade, in character as Deadpool, shrugged nonchalantly, not backing down an inch. "Don't be salty." His words, laced with humor and a dose of arrogance, elicited more laughter and cheers from the captivated audience.
With his arm slung casually over your shoulder, Wade, as Deadpool, leaned in, his voice dripping with sarcastic charm. "So, what are we doing?" he suggested, glancing at you with a mischievous grin. The audience watched, eager for your response and ready to see where this impromptu collaboration would go.
You played along, walking alongside Deadpool, scanning the audience with exaggerated curiosity. "Oh, you know, just looking for someone hot," you added, playing up the joke. The crowd chuckled and whispered, some even shouting out suggestions and egging you on.
Wade, in his Deadpool persona, nodded in agreement, playing along with the banter. "Absolutely! We need someone hot," he chimed in, scanning the crowd with mock seriousness. The audience couldn't help but laugh and whistle, captivated by the silliness of the scene unfolding before them.
Deadpool, still in character, gasped dramatically, pointing towards Hugh in the audience. "Oh my, look at that hunk of man meat over there!" he exclaimed, his voice dripping with exaggerated admiration. The audience burst into laughter and applause, loving the unexpected twist in the show and the way Deadpool called out Hugh.
The camera zoomed in on Hugh, and the audience erupted into a whirlwind of cheers and applause. His handsome face on the big screen only added to the chaos, with the crowd going wild at the sight of him. The entire scene was a mix of humor, excitement, and anticipation as you continued to banter with Deadpool.
Deadpool, still in character, turned his attention to Hugh, his tone filled with false bravado. "You look just like my roommate, not the blind one," he quipped, playing up the humor and continuing the banter. The audience laughed, enjoying the playful jab at Hugh's expense, while Hugh himself couldn't help but smirk at the unexpected line.
Wade, still playing the part of Deadpool, elbowed you teasingly, encouraging you to join in. "Well, don't be shy," he whispered with a smirk, clearly enjoying the banter and the audience's reactions. The tension in the air was electric, and the anticipation of what would happen next grew stronger with each passing moment.
Without missing a beat, you turned to Hugh and asked with a mischievous smirk, "What's your name?" The audience waited with bated breath as Hugh, still playing along, responded. "It's Hugh," he replied with a charming grin, playing into the humor of the situation.
You fanned yourself dramatically, pretending to be swooning over Hugh, "I bet it is." The audience laughed and cheered, loving the playful exchange between you, Hugh, and Deadpool. The whole scene was a mix of lighthearted comedy and subtle tension, as everyone waited to see how things would unfold.
Deadpool couldn't help but join in on the fawning over Hugh. “Hot damn," he exclaimed, a mix of humor and genuine appreciation in his tone. "You're a fine specimen," he added, winking at Hugh and making the audience laugh even harder. The stage was filled with laughter and applause, their reactions fueling the already comedic atmosphere.
Deadpool, still playing along, continued the banter, his voice filled with humor. "Do you have claws? Not that it's a requirement, of course," he quipped, winking at Hugh and sending the audience into another fit of laughter. The room was filled with infectious laughter and applause, and the audience thoroughly entertained by the unexpected conversation on stage.
Hugh, in good spirits, obliged and showed off his hands, and Deadpool reacted with exaggerated astonishment. "Sweet Marvel Jesus, Look at those magnificent 10 fingers," he joked, adding another layer to the comically charged scene. The audience roared with laughter, finding the exchange between Hugh and Deadpool utterly amusing.
With a devious smirk, you turned to Hugh and asked, "So, Hugh, where are you originally from?" The audience waited eagerly for Hugh's response, curious to see how he would react to your question and whether he would play along with the ongoing banter.
Hugh responded with a charming smile and a straightforward answer, "Sydney." The audience responded with a mix of cheers and "ahs", appreciating the playful exchange between you, Hugh, and Deadpool. The lighthearted banter continued to entertain everyone, making for a memorable and entertaining moment on stage.
You couldn't contain a sly smirk and a wink as you delivered the line, your voice filled with a mix of humor and playful suggestiveness. "All I'm hearing is you know how to go down under." The crowd erupted into laughter, loving the risqué comment and the way you delivered it with a mischievous grin. Hugh caught off guard but enjoying the banter, played along and chuckled, adding another layer to the ever-growing comedic moment on stage.
Deadpool, never one to back down, quickly chimed in, attempting to out-flirt you, "But I bet you know how to keep things up as well." The crowd laughed, clearly entertained by Deadpool's bold comment and the ongoing banter. Hugh chuckled, a mix of amusement and slight embarrassment crossing his features. The atmosphere was charged with humor and a touch of competition, as the crowd eagerly anticipated the next move in the playful game of flirtatious banter.
As you witnessed Hugh's familiar laugh and his charming smile, a feeling of warmth filled your heart. Despite the months of separation and uncertainty, his presence still brought a sense of peace and balance to your world. The energy between you and him sparked, reigniting the connection you shared. In that moment, you couldn't help but cherish the feeling, thankful for his return. The anticipation of what lay ahead weighed heavily on your mind, but for now, you allowed yourself to savor the moment and bask in the joy of having him by your side again.
Deadpool, still flirting with Hugh, received a teasing nudge from you. "Back off," you jested, teasingly. "I don't think he's into... whatever this is." You gestured all over him, a playful yet genuine smile on your lips. The audience laughed at the playful banter, enjoying the back-and-forth between you and Deadpool. Hugh, amused by the exchange, couldn't help but smirk, his eyes filled with a mix of humor and affection towards you.
The entire scene was a blend of laughter, humor, and undeniable chemistry, as you continued to banter and playfully compete for Hugh's attention. Deadpool, realizing he was outnumbered, backed off with a smirk and a wink, conceding defeat for the moment. The audience applauded, clearly entertained by the entertaining dynamics unfolding on stage.
You turned your attention back to Hugh, a genuine smile illuminating your face. "Now, where were we?" you asked, your voice filled with genuine enthusiasm. The audience watched with anticipation, eager to see how the conversation would unfold between you and Hugh. The playful banter and the chemistry between you two were undeniable, leaving the audience wanting more and curious about what was to come next.
You couldn't help but give Hugh a sincere compliment as you continued the banter. "Oh yes!" you exclaimed, a genuine smile stretching across your lips. "I was just about to say how hot you are. It should be a crime, don't you think?" The audience erupted in laughter, loving the bold and direct comment. Hugh, taken aback but amused, chuckled, feeling a mix of flattery and embarrassment. The tension in the room was palpable, and the audience couldn't help but root for the unexpected chemistry between you and Hugh.
The moment became even more hilarious as you and your girls fangirled over Hugh. "This is so weird! I've never acted this way before! He's so hot and... OH! My clothes are falling off!" Your skirt comically dropped during the bit, and Deadpool seized the opportunity, sliding in front of you and theatrically blocking your legs, exclaiming, "Nothing to see here!" The audience roared with laughter, completely entertained by the unexpected turn of events and Deadpool's comedic timing.
You couldn't help but play into the moment, grabbing the fuzzy cuffs from Deadpool's belt and twirling them in your hands. With a playful smirk, you reached out to Hugh and asked, "You still have the other ones?" A mischievous wink accompanied your words, adding to the anticipation in the air. The audience chuckled, enjoying the banter and the subtle hint towards your past connection with Hugh.
Hugh's stunned expression quickly transformed into a growing smile as he comprehended the reference. He nodded slowly, his voice filled with sentimentality, "Till the day I die, darling." The audience watched with a mix of curiosity, anticipation, and knowing smiles, their attention fully locked on the ongoing exchange between you and Hugh.
Deadpool, ever the troublemaker, gasped dramatically and declared, "I'm sorry, what? KINKY!" The audience erupted in laughter and applause, thoroughly entertained and amused by Deadpool's outburst. It added another layer of humor and intrigue to the already entertaining exchange unfolding before them.
As the music started for Juno, Deadpool, true to form, joined in with perfect timing. He danced and sang along, adding a touch of humor and energy to the performance. His off-the-wall antics were the perfect complement to the intense and chaotic scene, and the audience couldn't help but appreciate the comedic twist.
You rushed down to the heart-shaped platform, preparing for a dramatic moment, but Deadpool appeared out of nowhere, comically closing your legs and exclaiming, "NEVER TRY THIS ONE! All of you! WHERE IS YOUR MORALS?!" The audience erupted in laughter, thoroughly amused by Deadpool's playful antics. You crossed your arms and stared at him, a mix of disbelief and amusement on your face. Deadpool, never missing a beat, shrugged and continued singing the next verse in a melodramatic and dramatic fashion. His flair for the dramatic added an extra layer of charm and entertainment to the performance.
The performance came to an end on a high note, filled with amazing energy and contagious excitement. The crowd was on its feet, cheering and applauding loudly, fully captivated by the rollercoaster of emotions and the unexpected twists and turns throughout the show.
As you chatted backstage and engaged in conversation with your fellow members of the tour, you suddenly noticed Hugh walking in. Your heart skipped a beat, and a mix of excitement and anticipation washed over you.
He approached you with open arms and a wide smile, his laughter filling the air as he said, "You did amazing, baby!" You couldn't help but reciprocate his enthusiasm, your heart fluttering with both joy and nervousness at his unexpected presence.
You met his embrace with a mix of emotions, simultaneously happy to see him but also feeling a hint of uncertainty about where you both stood, “thank you.” You weren’t together, but you were open to working on it. As you pulled back, you searched his face for any indication of what he was thinking or feeling, a million questions swirling in your mind.
Hugh's question, simple yet meaningful, hung in the air for a moment as you tried to gauge his intentions. "Do you want to go get something to eat?" The invitation was casual, but the weight of it felt heavy. You considered your response, trying to balance the desire to spend more time with him with the uncertainty of where things stood between you.
As you hesitated, lost in your thoughts, Hugh reassured you, "It's not a date. Ryan's going. Megan's going. A few others too." His words reassured you, easing some of the anxiety that had built up in your mind. Knowing that others would be joining took the pressure off and allowed you to view the invitation as a simple gathering of friends.
You nodded, taking a moment to gather your thoughts, "Give me about 30 minutes," you replied, your voice tinged with a mix of vulnerability and hope. Hugh nodded in response, understanding that you needed a little time to prepare and collect yourself before joining the group for dinner.
As you headed to your dressing room to freshen up, your mind was still spinning with conflicting emotions. You were torn between the desire to spend time with Hugh and the anxiety of what it could mean for your future and your career. The water from the faucet felt cool against your skin as you splashed some on your face, trying to calm your nerves and clear your mind.
You walked out, now freshly dressed and ready to join the group for dinner. You found Ryan, Blake, Megan, and Hugh waiting patiently, accompanied by a few of your dancers. The atmosphere was casual and light, a stark contrast to the rollercoaster of emotions you had been feeling just moments ago.
Blake clung to you, pulling you close as you walked. In a whisper, she asked, "Are you two back together?" Her concern was palpable, and her question echoed the thoughts that had been swirling through your mind. You didn't know how to respond, so you simply shrugged, trying to act nonchalant even though your heart was hammering in your chest.
Blake's smile held both reassurance and understanding. She could read the conflicting emotions in your expression, and her words were meant to be supportive. "If it's what you want, then I'm happy for you," she said gently, squeezing your hand in a gesture of solidarity. Her unwavering support meant the world to you, especially in this confusing and uncertain moment.
As soon as you walked onto the street with the group, the paparazzi spotted you, their voices drowning out the peaceful atmosphere. "(Y/N)! Over here!" they shouted, cameras flashing and creating a chaotic scene. The attention was overwhelming, and you suddenly felt exposed like a fish in a tank.
Despite the chaos and attention, you maintained your composure, waving and smiling in response. The questions came pouring in, "Are you and Hugh back together?" and "Are you still single?" The crowd's interest in your personal life was undeniable, and the pressure to answer was increasing by the second.
As the paparazzi's questions and cameras continued to assault you, you felt a strong arm wrap around your shoulders, providing a shield of protection. "I got you, darling," Hugh reassured you, his voice steady and comforting. His presence provided a haven amidst the chaos, and you leaned into his embrace, grateful for his steadfast support.
You couldn't help but smile gratefully at Hugh's protective gesture. His presence next to you made you feel safe and cared for. Despite the flurry of questions and cameras, Hugh's reassurance brought you a sense of comfort and security, making this chaotic moment just a bit more bearable.
You smiled and leaned into Ryan's arm, expressing your gratitude. "Thanks, Ry," you said sincerely, your voice filled with a hint of relief. Ryan smiled warmly at you, his eyes filled with fondness. "You're welcome, sis," he replied, using the affectionate nickname he had given you.
Dinner was a delightful and relaxing affair. The conversation flowed effortlessly, and the laughter filled the air. Even the food and drinks were enjoyable, adding to the overall sense of happiness and camaraderie. Everyone shared funny stories and jokes, creating a lighthearted and enjoyable atmosphere. It was a moment of simple joy and friendship, a welcome respite from the chaos and stress that often came with the line of work you all were in.
Hugh sent a warm smile in your direction and mouthed, "You look beautiful." The sincere compliment caught you off guard, and your heart skipped a beat at the quiet but tender moment. His gaze held a genuine admiration, making you feel special and appreciated.
You smiled shyly, averting your gaze to your plate, trying to hide the effect his compliment had on you. The truth was, you were slowly losing control over your guarded emotions. Every small gesture, every kind word from Hugh seemed to chip away at the walls you had built around your heart, making it impossible to deny that he was winning you over.
Hugh's voice carried a touch of pride as he mentioned his daughter, Ava. "Ava's been asking about you," he shared, his words bringing a smile to his face. You nodded in agreement, a warm smile tugging at your lips. "I need to text her," you replied, expressing your intent to stay in touch.
Hugh's eyes softened at your words, and a smile played on his lips. "She'd love that," he affirmed, his tone laced with affection.
Throughout the evening, you found yourself leaning across Ryan, engaging in close conversations, and sharing laughs with Hugh. Despite the initial intention to maintain some distance, you couldn't help but gravitate towards him, drawn by his charming presence and witty humor. The proximity between you and Hugh allowed for subtle brushes of skin and lingering gazes, adding an extra layer of tension to the intimate atmosphere.
The night gradually came to an end, and You and Hugh walked side by side to your waiting Uber. As you walked, his hand brushed against yours, sending a jolt of electricity through your skin. The proximity was undeniable, and the small yet intimate gesture created a charged atmosphere between you.
You turned to face him, a small, hopeful smile dancing on your lips. "Call me later?" you requested softly, your voice barely above a whisper. The request was casual, but the subtext was obvious as you looked into his eyes, silently asking for more of his attention and company.
His soft, warm lips met your knuckles in a gesture of chivalry and tenderness. "Of course," he assured you, his voice low and velvety. The intimate touch sent a shiver down your spine, and his eyes held a mixture of promise and desire.
You watched through the car window as he stood there waving, his figure slowly shrinking as the car distanced itself. His presence lingered in your mind, and you couldn't help but feel a pang of longing, a mix of emotions swirling within you.
As you sat in the backseat, your thoughts lingered on the undeniable truth that you had never stopped loving Hugh. The connection you had was still there, perhaps even stronger than before, and you yearned for the past you had with him, wanting nothing more than to be by his side once more. The realization that you wanted Hugh and the depth of your love for him hit you with a mixture of both trepidation and anticipation.

How Y/N stole my heart
[🗯+18][👩‍❤️‍👨 Toto x reader][🥵Smut][❄️Grinch style][💫Short read][🎄Christmas]
Summary: From a grumpy principal to a man in love. This holiday season, real love won. Author's note: Merry Christmas everyone! Thank you for all your lovely messages while I took time off, I'm dealing with a lot right now, so I need love and I send you lots of it if you also need it. Written for the "Snowflakes & Storylines" a FICXMAS Challenge at The Wolff Pack Discord Server
More Toto Wolff fics right here > Masterlist
In the garage of the Silver Arrows, where the legends get made, Lives one Toto Wolff, a man who often complains. With a frown and a scowl, he rules with precision, His focus is racing, winning his ambition.
Yet something is missing from his grand, busy life, Passion, love, maybe a wife? With a heart made of metal, and a brain full of speed, One Christmas morning, it all begins.
Without knowing it, he is in for a ride, As a newcomer driver arrives, With fire in her spirit and pace in her veins, Y/N came here to in his heart remain.
As she slides into the Mercedes car, their chemistry ignites. She charms him past his grid, disarming Toto in parts.
He rather hold meetings, with data and all of that, To distract himself from his own racing heart.
After every encounter, the tension remains thick, So one day Toto paces in his office when Y/N gets in. She's wearing her tight form-fitting tracksuit, With a mischievous grin, she offers soon, “Toto” she whispers, "Wanna go for an extra lap?” He smirks, feeling the heat, and slowly strides.
Before he could barely resist her open invitation, She closes the gap, perching right onto his lap, He grins mischievously, a sparkle in his eye, “Honey, let me love you right”.
Toto gasps in delight, among a storm of thoughts, As her hand caressed down his groin, With a mix of nervousness and pleasure, feeling all turned on, a “Y/N—” gets caught in his throat.
While his heart does a backflip, his cock gets hard. She moves her hips in circles, making him cuss. “Think of it as team-building, just you and I,” With pleasure and hunger, she rides him like a bike.
As Toto grips the armrests, the world starts to spin around, two lovers finally merging, adrenaline high. The clock ticks away while lost in moans. Till the final thrust hits home.
From a grumpy principal to a man in love. This holiday season, real love won.
“Y/N, you ignite passion in my tin old heart, You think this could be a start?” Eyes wide, she giggles, her cheeks blushing bright, “Toto Wolff admitting he’s smitten? What a sight!"
"Let’s race through our days, honey, but not just on the track. Please let's share the rest of our lives!”
Two souls that day intertwined, Toto is no longer the Grinch with a heart two sizes small.

here kitty kitty
miguel o’ hara x gn!reader
wc: 1.2k
warnings: sunshine reader, grumpy miguel, also lovesick miguel, tooth-rotting fluff, kittens :)
an: went to go see ATSV again today and was thinking about my man so i needed to get this out. remember to reblog and comment to support your favourite writers <3
summary: you want a kitten. Miguel doesn’t want to share.
the air on earth 991 was cold.
an icy white blanket draped over the tops of the roofs in Manhattan, broken only by the red streaks whizzing between buildings - the serene snowy landscape interrupted by echoing grunts of fist colliding with metal.
even over your suit, the cold bit into your arms and up between the tendrils of your hair as you free fell down the side of a bank.
“Pav, on your left!” Jessica’s voice echoed down your earpiece.
you spat out a web at the building adjacent, body twisting and turning between the flailing green arms of the Dr Ock that had appeared on this earth where he most definitely did not belong.
a crack rung down the alleyway where Miguel’s foot connected with the anomaly’s jaw. a groan followed quickly after it and metal arms grappled at low hanging ledges, crumbling them beneath monstrous pressure.
“hey Pav,” you called your best friend over the microphone, sing-songing his name. “bet you can’t pin down more tentacles than me?”
“ha,” his voice bounced quickly back. “you are so on!”
you kicked off the edge of the red-brick side of the building, swan diving between flying metal.
thick white webs tangled over the nearest tentacle, your ankle wobbled dangerously beneath you when you landed against slippery ice-bitten tar.
“yn—“ a voice called through your earpiece again. “—stop being reckless. focus on his abdomen, it’s exposed.”
you giggled merrily, stomach swooping when your released a web and arched into a backflip far over Dr Ock’s head. “take a chill pill, Miggy.”
he hated when you called him that at work. preferred when it was shared in the privacy of his bed, when you’d lean lazily over his broad chest and pick at flecks of hair over his forehead.
“you’ll crease that pretty forehead, baby.” you crooned and then grunted, tugging down on the web that you’d managed to tangle around a metal arm.
Pavitr flew past in your peripheral vision. he sent a splatter of web straight at the anomaly’s face: there was a giant roar and the kick of Jessica’s motorcycle.
“para.” Miguel scolded, but you could hear the blush in his voice.
your mouth opened - in the corner of your eye you watched Jessica turn her head away - unleashing a supersonic scream that rippled down over the figure of Otto Octavius. trembling hands came over his ears, a useless attempt at defense, and four tentacles writhed painfully against the grey coloured sky.
Miguel and Pavitr came down in unison towards his exposed cranium.
it all seemed to end within seconds. Dr Ock concealed in the chamber of the portable prison and you panting over the sidewalk.
snow fell gently over the scene, the air unshaken by the violence down in the street. crumbled bits of rock littered car roofs and bodega doormats.
Jessica was leaning against the seat of her now parked motorcycle, Pav was strutting towards your figure and Miguel was edging down the side of the nearest building.
“i took him down so, technically, i won. you owe me a soda.”
Pavitr’s palm closed over your shoulder, warming the spot under his grip. “woah, woah woah. technically, you wouldn’t have done anything if i hadn’t screamed—“
the end of your sentence dissolved, abandoned. on the inner side of the sidewalk, close against the wall of the shut laundromat: you noticed a tiny black figure against the pure white snow.
“what—Pav look …”
you crunched through the knee high snow towards it, kneeling to scoop up the shivering creature.
two giant yellow eyes blinked down from where you held it up against the dying afternoon light.
“it’s a kitten.” your heart clenched tightly in your chest.
Pavitr reached a hand over, scratching a spot on the creature’s head with a single finger. the cat was barely bigger than a barbie doll. he meowed softly.
you tucked him against your chest, wrapping your arms over his small figure. “are you cold, sweetheart? you wanna come home with us?”
a tiny black tail swished under your arm. Pavitr laughed, “yeah. like Miguel would let that happen.”
you huffed. “that softie? he’s easy to break.”
“let’s get moving. back to HQ.” as if summoned by the mention of his name, Miguel was moving towards the team.
Jessica didn’t need to be asked again and disappeared through a blurry yellow, orange and red portal before Miguel had even fully reached the sidewalk.
the portal floated in place, buzzing and hissing with it’s brightness.
you turned to your boyfriend, black kitten tucked against you. his gaze was focused over his watch, tapping at the little yellow keyboard.
“Miguel.” you whined lowly. his eyes flickered down to you, drifting curiously over to the creature in your arms.
“mhm?” he hummed lowly, cautiously.
“isn’t he cute?” you pressed.
Miguel’s arms fell to his side. his face remained stoney. “yes. very cute.” his words were as interested as his expression. scarcely.
you stepped closer to him, invading his space in a way you knew nobody else ever could. your arms nudged his lower chest.
“he looks kinda like you, baby. all dark hair and big eyes.” as if he knew he was being mentioned, the cat stuck his little head out from the crevice of your arm to look up at the giant looming spider.
“what do you want?” he sighed softly, like he wasn’t absolutely dissolving under your sweet syrupy gaze.
“can’t we take him home?”
“you know we can’t do that.” his hands found his hips.
“he’s cold.” you shuffled forward, pressing up against his figure: jutting out your chin to rest on his warm chest. “he’s shivering, look.”
“that’s too bad for him.”
“are you really so heartless, Miguel?”
Miguel shrugged. lashes fluttering where his eyes were raking up and down your figure.
“yes.” he settled on.
it made you chuckle. your laughter bubbled against his suit, rumbling the kitten in your grasp. “no you’re not. you wouldn’t let me annoy you like this if you were.”
“maybe.” one hand came off his hip, running it’s palm over your sweaty forehead and pushing stray hairs back in place. he leaned down and pressed a warm kiss there. “but that doesn’t mean you’re keeping the cat.”
“aw, you guys are so adorable.” you’d just about forgotten that Pavitr was there. “it’s making me sick.”
Miguel flashed shining white fangs at him, a growl echoing from the depths of his throat.
“yeah, yeah.” Pavitr groaned, sidestepping his boss before disappearing into the portal. “i’ll see you two back at HQ.”
Miguel ushered you away. you set the kitten close to the door of a bakery where warm air was curling out from inside.
he was waiting for you by the portal, hand outstretched.
you took it, bumping into his side with the purest intention of annoying him.
“you gonna get me a cat, Miggy?”
he huffed. “what, so i can fight for your attention in my own apartment? no ways.”
you fell into step beside him through the portal. the headquarters appeared fuzzily into view.
“we’ll see.”
-
it took less than a week of pestering before Miguel arrived home late after work with a tiny black kitten in a box.
you’d kissed him drunk and promised that he’d forever remain your favourite clawed and fanged creature in the apartment.
he didn’t seem to mind too much after that.
to be fair, his lips were too swollen and your tongue was too far down his throat for him to protest anyways.

Hiiiii! I don't know if you're doing requests or not... but if so, could you do some type of affair thing? Like Cillian is at some gala and sees reader and wants her badly, even though he has a wife? Thanks!!
Hi, I can do that(:
Tumblr media
TW: Cheating, fingering, face fucking, p in v unwrapped, no pull out, gagging.
Not proofread!
Lights flashed as many celebrites and other rich people made their way into Gala. You were hooked onto the arm of the Gala owner who was your best friend after all. He gave you a kiss on the cheek before walking around to greet all the guest.
You made your way around only to stop dead in your tracks as he walked in, Cillian Murphy! Your heart did a backflip watching him walk into the building. This had to be a dream. You stood there watching more like gawking at him.
"Good god, pick your jaw up off the floor!" Your best friend chuckled as he grabbed your shoulders from behind.
"DId you invite Cillian Murphy?
"I did!" "And you didn't tell me?" You playfully hit has his hand.
"Honey, he's married! Don't do something stupid." Your best friend patted your shoulder before running off again. A sigh left your lips. He's not wrong, you shouldn't do something stupid.
As the night went on you did your best to avoid Cillian. It was working well until you went to go freshen up , pushed back your seat and accidently hit someone making them spill their drink on your exposed cleavage.
"I'm sooo sorry." The apology was half assed. You gave an awkward smile before bolting out of the room, through the doors and into the hallway only to what felt like a wall.
"Fuck! I'm sorry!" You about bursted into tears.
"Hey tis okay, no need ta cry!" You knew that accent anywhere. Of all the people to run into. You looked up at Cillian through your lashes as he put his hand on your shoulder. "Are ya alright?" He asked giving your shoulder a squeeze.
"Uh yeah, just had some wine poured on my boobs..." He raised an eyebrow before looking to see a redish stain and drops going to your breasts. You had mentally slapped yourself. The two of you stood there looking at each other before you excused yourself to clean up the mess.
After cleaning up the wine, you took a second to double check your make up. Everything looked fine, your hair still looked nice flowing down your back and your little black dress was fine despite the wine. It was still hugging you all the way down to your feet that were in a nice pair of pumps. You made your way back out only to walk into Cillian again.
"We gotta stop meetin like tis." He chuckled as your cheeks turned bright pink.
"Well this is a dream come true for me!" Cillian smiled as you tucked some of your hair behind your ear. He reached forward, grabbed your hand and brought it to his lips before giving it a small kiss. He looked up at you and seen how red your cheeks were, butalso how your lips were parted slightly, eyes glazed. Your head tilted slightly making him stand up striaght and clear his throat.
"I shouldn't say this, but you're a very attractive lady and I.."
"kiss me!" You cut him off and he could'nt say no. He yanked you down the hall were it was more exclusive and pushed you up against the wall. His lips smashed into yours. You moved your lips hungerly against his. Teeth scrapped against teeth, hands all over each other as his tongue slid into your mouth. This was wrong, you knew it, he knew it, but neither of you could stop. The kisses got heavier by the second making you whimper into his mouth. Cillians hands squeezed at your hips making you grip onto his arms.
"I have ta confess, seen ya as soon as I walked in, knew i had to have ya." His words struck you making you clench around nothing.
"Have me!" You pleaded. Cillian looked around before taking you into what looked like an empty storage closet. You tripped over a bucket making him chuckle before pinning you agaisnt the metal rack. His hands snaked up your dress to pull your panties down around your ankles. His fingers gently rubbed against your folds. You watched carefully as he slowly pushed his index finger in you making you gasp.
"Shh honey, ya gotta be a good girl and be quiet." Cillian pressed his lips to yours and kissed you while sliding his finger in and out of you. He added another finger into you making you grip the rack behind you. Cillian kissed down your neck as he twisted his fingers in you. "Such a wet cunt and i barely touched ya."
"I've wanted you for so long!" You mumbled while your brain turned fuzzy because of how his fingers worked you over. Cillian pulled out his fingers and licked them clean before shoving them into your mouth. You sucked on his fingers while keeping lust filled eye contact. He pulled them back out so he could unbuckled his pants. You bit your lip and watched as his pants and boxers pooled around his ankles.
"oh fuck..." Your mouth hung open at the sight of his cock. It was what you had imagined. Nice, thick, average sized and a nice salt and pepper happy trail.
"It's yours honey." Cillian took your hand and placed it on his hardened cock. You wrapped your hand around the shaft while getting down on your knees. His hand rested on your head as he watched you wrap your lips around the head of his cock. You looked like an angel on your knees to him. The way your eyes glazed over as the head hit the back of your throat making you gag was pornographic. He swore this was heaven. Cillian threw his head back with a groan as you sucked him off like a desprate whore.
"Dats a good girl, suck me cock yeah.." His fingers tangled into your hair and yanked it to guide you down on his cock. Drool dribbled down your chin as he fucked your throat. The room echod the gagfing noises as you let him abuse your throat with his cock. Your hand reached down and massaged his balls making him moan. Cillian pulled you off and looked down to see the string of spit connecting your shiny lips to his cock, he smiled while pulling up to stand up straight before lifting up on of your legs.
Both of you looked each other in the eyes as he rubbed the head of his cock against your folds.
"Fuck me sir, please" Your words made Cillian push all the way inside of you in one movement.
"FUCK!" Both of you cried out. You felt so tight and warm around him. His cock was bigger than what you thought and it stung as you stretched. He held your hips as he started to slowly fuck into you. Your hands held onto his shoulders for better balance while he gently bounced you on his cock. Your mouth hung open making the prettiest moans escape. Cillian held onto you tighter, bouncing your faster as you held him tighter. You leaned in to kiss him desperatly, his tongue mixed with yours as he moaned into your mouth. Both of you were on clound nine.
"Fuck just like that Cillian!" You whimpered as he angled your hips to go higher. He grunted loudly. It was ectasy feeling his cock fuck into, the way his grunts made you clench, your hands gripping his jacket pulling him closer so you could bite his bottom lip. When he felt that, he moved his hands to under your ass and gave it a smack. He kneeded your ass cheeks while fucking senselessly into your cunt.
The heat rushed over your body. "Please please please! I need to cum Cillian!"
"Cum for me honey, make a mess on me cock!" His breath was hot and paced as you looked into his eyes. His cock was making you full. It was like nothing else exsited in that moment. Your orgasm hit you hard. You hands gripped onto his arms as you cried out his name. Your body shook hard as you clenched around his cock. Cillians own orgasm hit him hard and fast with no time to pull out. His cum filled you to the brim, you could feel the warm liquid dripping down your thighs and onto the floor. Cillian held onto you as the two of you came down from the high of your orgams.
"I'm sorry honey didn't mean ta cum in ya,. Ya just felt so good." He kissed the top of your head. You looked up at him with soft eyes and stroked his cheek. "It's alright, it's what I wanted." You kissed him while he pulled out of you. The two of you cleaned each other up the best you could. He offered you his arm to help you walk back out to the gala like nothing had happened.
"If you ever need a good time again..." You whispered to him. "I'm all yours."

Trying to analyse apology tour just feels like sorting through slop
The opening is bizarre. A silent treatment has blitz crawling back to be listened to, his personality has done a large backflip from the angry pained person he was the day before. To a grinning idiot trying to make his first fan like him again.
He is used in the same way now as he was in the stupid opening song of the previous - for “mean” careless sex jokes, to be contrasted against the overly sensitive weepy, whiny, half self pitying half self aggrandising “woe is me” Prince. Who is just so above that sort of thing because he’s a deep, generous, kind, occasionally naive and silly innocent romantic precious baby boi with sad backstory. Oh brother. Bring out the violins.
This type of bias from the solo author, Medrano, is just embarrassingly obvious. She gives stolas every win, all of his points are framed as right, she only lets the other character argue if he incriminates himself by warped facts, in a way that can contribute to stolas being right. She doesn’t even try and write this as an “argument.” It’s a case of her favourite OC evar educating and schooling the OC she is less fond of right now, with his superior mind and superior super deep beautiful emotions always put in a background of stars and constellations. Feelings that in truth, don’t go beyond “I want you around cause I’m lonely.”
In between making him cry and weep for our pity, she adds in moments of unfounded indignant behaviour, rage that his privilege dare be questioned, moments of malicious torment, and shaming. Copious amounts of shame. All to pleasure her audience with the satisfaction of stolas winning.
He is just enraged that his ‘feelings’ of attachement that define his identity at this point, are not being returned adequately with acts of servitude, praise, flattery, and gratitude. And while this biased scene is bad enough, Verosika has to be inserted to enable stolas and build him up as if Vivziepop isn’t doing it enough herself with this writing. Because as we probably all know, stolas doesn’t have any friends of his own. He only has Blitzøs adversaries to join with, or a loved one who Blitz is arguing with, to back him up because doing that makes blitz pissed off.
Nobody can defend stolas without just projecting their own feelings about something else, onto him. Or regurgitating his frankly irrelevant tragic backstory. Because this writer knows this is a very bare bones argument she’s trying to make. You have to squint terribly hard and erase a lot of events to make the owl look good and most importantly, look right. Because he isn’t. He’s a creep who believes he fell in love with his object and has never stopped treating him as just an object to throw gifts at in exchange for his loyalty.
He speaks in this whimpery, shaky but loud and overpowering voice, commanding the whole situation. But is given tears in his eyes between each breath enough that you don’t question it. It’s very hard to watch.
The party. What ensues is vivziepop having a slightly worrying fixation with torturing blitz and wishing death on him, using countless nameless voiceless characters as props. And all of them exist, of course, to be enablers of stolas and make him look morally good and correct. But they’re also made into such filthy commoners that the dear pretty clean beautiful prince is terrified of their barbaric rituals. Verosika while rich, is still his emotional support poor.
“He is better than him, he is better than all of them, he is better than everyone. He cries, he gives gifts, he sings songs about his lovely love. Stinky blitz only talks about penises and cloaca’s and says fuck. Stol’s is just so silly, he is baby. Poor baby. Speak from your heart baby.He deserves so much. He sings so fantastic. If you don’t think so, kill yourself.”
.
.
Definition of trying too hard. If you’re a writer and one of your OCs takes this much of an emotional hold over you, you need to stop writing and re-evaluate.

Batfam and Batsis Headcannon: The Teams Part 1
Majority of DCU knows about the Batfamily and many work with them and have formed teams with them. However, while many have worked with Y/n she was never officially on anyone’s team. In fact a lot of the League have never worked with her but a select few have had the chance.
Superman and Wonder Woman have worked with her countless times, there were even times that had to fill in for Batman and she assisted them. It goes without saying Diana Prince loves all of the Batkids but Y/n definitely has a special bond with the Princess. While Barbara oversaw most of Y/n’s training she was trained by others. Her most worked with trainer was Diana herself.
Barbara had Y/n complete her training with Diana and she had to win in order for Barbara to give her final blessing for her to suit up.
“Remember never go for the obvious attack.” Diana swiftly block Y/n’s bow staff strike and shove her backward.
“Never let your opponent get your weak spot,” she attempted to strike the girl who backflipped out the way and block two punches,”You’ll face many who will not stop because you are a child, you must fight them with your all. And then,” she kicked the back of Y/n’s knee and she caught herself before hitting Diana in the chest.
“You give more. Never let your guard down.” Y/n smirked. Diana returned the smirk,”Good. Again child.”
She always worked with Clark, before Tim joined she had to protect the city while Batman and Nightwing were in England to find information about a Drug Lord who had recently smuggled weapons and drugs into the city and need to find him in London.
“Are you sure your gonna be okay, I can ask Wally to—“
“I’ll be fine mother hen.” She scoffed putting on her utility belt and cape.
“I know you will, but I’d rather be safe than sorry that’s why I’ve asked Clark to visit you throughout the next two nights.”
“What! So you don’t trust me after all!” She stocked over to him but he pulled his cowl up and hopped into the Batwing.
“He’s there as backup.” Nightwing joined him and with that they raced out of the cave.
Batgirl stood overtop of a building while listening to a group of armed men break into one of Black Mask’s buildings.
“Show time.” She threw smoke and glided down and began fighting them. She didn’t realize there was several more around the corner and soon she was surrounded by some armed and unarmed men.
“Where you gonna go now Brat-girl?”
“I don’t know yet maybe Amusement Mile,but you are so going to Blackgate creep.”
“You little bitch I’m gonna—“ before he could shot her his body was sent flying into a group of trash cans.
“Now that’s no way to talk to a young lady.” Superman smirked. The other goons looked like they were gonna shit their pants and Batgirl rolled her eyes.
“Go ahead pretend like I’m not here.” He quickly took all the remaining guns and crushed them into a ball.
Batgirl quickly started fighting the shocked and terrified goons until one managed to run but Superman met him around the corner and the goon passed out before he could do anything. He brought him back to the alley where Batgirl was tying up the rest of the goons.
“I had him.”
“Uh huh,sure you did.” Superman dropped the goon and Batgirl cuffed him to a dumpster.
She grappled to the rooftops where Superman was floating above as sirens could be heard in the distance.
“So,how about a pizza break. I can fly us to Sicily?” He offered.
Batgirl stood before the Kryptonite for a moment,”A Large Margarita?”
He grinned,”Scouts Honor.” She scoffed and climbed onto his back,”Dad’s right you kinda are a bit of a Boy Scout.” And he took off,”What’s wrong with that?” He asked innocently.
The other members of the league she did get to meet as well. She loved spending time with with J’onn while she studied as it was very quiet in the command room.
“So do all Martian have your powers, or are you just one of a kind?”
“While most of my people have gifts and abilities my were more advanced then those in my age group when I was younger.” He didn’t even turn in her direction as he continued to type away on the keyboard.
She tapped her pen on her Geometry textbook.”What was it like, on Mars before the invasion?”
He continued typing for a few minutes before stopping.” It was Home, many things here on Earth are alike. Such as bonds with friends and family, we had our customs and traditions as well. Many think we are so different and while yes there is a difference between an Earthling and a Martian may of us fiction the same in terms of daily living.” He was solemn for a bit before returning to typing.
“Well, I’m glad the team has as someone like you around.” The Martian grinned. “And I’m sure the Bat is lucky to have daughter so curious and eager to learn about different cultures.”
“He better be.” The tween smiled.
She had taken a liking to listening in on League conversations, many of which weren’t even about missions just chaos and disaster.
“Thats’s a bunch of bull!” Hal shouted as Barry and Dinah entered the canteen with irrigation painted across their faces.
Y/n was munching on cheese fries and reading a book Jason gave her a long time ago.
“Hey kid, how’s book going?” Dinah took a seat next to her. “It’s good, what is Hal whining about today?”
She smirked stealing a fry,”He thinks your father is a vampire or something because he’s never seen during the daytime.” She sighed.
“How did you guys even get on this topic?” She marked her book and placed it down eating her fries with Dinah.
“He’s human for crying out loud!” Barry whined sitting down with his tray of hamburgers, nachos, cheese fries and sandwiches.
Hal sat down to taking a large gulp of his Cherry Cola,”Look I’m just saying if we throw Holly water on the Bats he could burst in flames.”
Y/n rolled her eyes under her mask and muttered,”I see why John is the smart Lantern.” Hal turned his gaze to her and grinned.
“Hey kiddo, why don’t you enlighten us. You live with Dracula does he ever walk into the sunlight, does he ever run from garlic, does he ever state food on holy ground?”
“Only when it’s Lasagna night and you eat garlic bread too, But he doesn’t smell like a garlic plant like you do.” Dinah had to hide her face but Barry was doubled over laughing.
“Definitely the Bat’s kid.” He grumbled walking away while checking his breath.
Y/n spent many weekends at Titans Tower before and after becoming Batgirl. She enjoyed being dragged to new pop up shops with Kory or visiting the vintage camera stores with Donna.
She also would play video games with Gar and Victor or mediate with Raven.
“You know the garden at the Manor are great place for tranquility.” She opened one eye looking in Raven’s direction.
“Tempting, I may take you up on that offer Y/n.” Raven had a tiny grin on her face.
“RAVEN! You’ve Hogged Y/n ALL MORNING!” The two turned to Gar who had a annoyed look on his face. Y/n giggled at his antics but Raven sighed.
“We’re mediating, beside you just want her to rematch you in Mario Party and we all know she’ll beat you anyway.” She replied.
“Not True!”
Kori, Dick and Wally enter the room and watch the two bicker back and forth. Y/n slips away to the kitchen where Victor is making pancakes.
“Do they ever not fight?” She turned to Victor who placed two plate of chocolate chip pancakes down. Wally took the other seat and began to devour them.
“This goes without but I doubt they even like breathing the same air as each other.” Wally commented with his face covered in syrup and chocolate chips.
“YOUR ANNOYING!”
“YOU SNORE!”
Dick and Kori watch from the kitchen as Vic hands them plates too.
“Y/n there’s a new sale, would you like to join me after breakfast?” Kori beamed.
“Of course, besides Dick promised to take me to the bookstore next door.” Everyone turned their gaze to the one and only Flying Grayson with syrup now covering his face.
“What?” The girls snickered at Dick but soon the voices of the other two took back over.
“Get a room already!” Victor yelled, which caused them to start bickering with him and Dick covered his face while everyone else ate and watched.

Ok, so it's been a minute since the Teen Wolf movie came out and I finally have the perspective to think about how I would turn it into a canon-compliant and resource-consistent movie rewrite. 
If I’m limited to the actors that signed on and the general plot beats of Allison coming back to life, getting the band back together, using the nemeton in some way, Harris and Eli hale. Here is how I would have done it: (please note I have hindsight and no writing ability and even though I mention Monroe a lot she will not actually need to be on screen to comply with not having her actor in the movie)
We kick off not in Japan, not with Scott, none of that. 
Beacon Hills is now a supernatural open town in a county that has spent years dealing with the result of an active nemeton. We imply changes through cut shots, like mystic shops and familiar names on fliers.  We use the whole county for the surrounding areas to show off these Suttle changes to known locations. Pictures of the original cast in the trophy cases at the high school, the McCall clinic on an open shot of what was once Deaton’s vet office, Mason and Parrish getting into a squad car outside the station. Hale Mechanics and audio body store (more like an AutoZone vibe to cement it more into the community). Kids getting out of class or practice doing a casual backflip down the stairs and another kid pushing them for “showing off” the jeep driving fast down the main street. 
We can have a voice-over explaining the main antagonist of the series, the hunters, and how BH though not completely open has accepted supernaturals in a low-number situation as Monroe spent years building up her militia. They did exactly what the show told us they would do, they followed the beacon to the town and found someplace safe. Monroe and the hunters after the death of the final big bad in season 6 and prolonged investment from the BH pack that we see in the time skip of the last episode, were basically reduced to code breakers and young hunters in the last few years. Everyone we know grew up and used their connections to take them down.
We cut to a flashback of a mass arrest of hunters with a joint sheriff’s department and FBI takedown (this is an illusion to Stiles who will not be in the film because we are sticking to actors who signed on to return)
Then we go back to the present day where we get a bit of a where are they now, how everyone settled into new roles, This is shown to us through little Vignette not just told to us but again I'm not a writer I'm going to sum up. We see Christ and Melissa splitting up as he went back to France to work on further cleaning up and spreading new hunter ideology “we protect those who can’t protect themselves”, Jackson working with other packs internationally to network safety and protection plans and help relocate supernatural after hunter problems (illusions to his comfy life with Ethan and happy overseas), mason and Liam staying intown starting their own careers (Liam opening a dinner and working with a new supernatural who came to town in the years – our new kitsune), Malia returning and working for Derek after spending time overseas and wanted to build a home in the one place she felt human, Lydia starting her own tech company with another illusion to Stiles traveling for FBI work, showing that he is not around a lot but they are, if not still together, still in each other’s lives,  Scott setting up his animal clinic and rescue along with our new friends, a couple of werewolves (the two we saw in the opening along with some background people we only need for the scene) that come in and out of the town that Scott takes in, some stay, some move on, but all of them are still pack (that's the vibe we are going for), this would also go to explain that people like Hayden left and Cory might be out of town right now but are still around. This would also help explain our new kitsune as well as an introduction to characters that could connect to Eli. (it’s a movie let’s make the world feel bigger) Eli should be about a year younger or so and we don’t have to explain his parentage but can emphasize that his mother might have been one of those strays affected by either Kate or the Argents or a different hunter group, maybe someone Derek met between 4-6 instead of in the middle of 3a-3b. 
We go to the nemeton when Scott or Derek is talking to Deaton or the sheriff about how things have settled and stabilized (this could be like the scene with the fire and how Eli has stolen the jeep again or Scott has just done an animal rescue and is talking to Deaton post) and we see a hooded figure doing some kind of sacrificial ritual at the roots of the stump - we see a girl in the dirt - we see her eyes - Its Allison. 
Then we can cut to a similar scene of Argent coming back into town, a little time has passed we get a few scenes of Eli trying to fit in with the other high school kids and not doing great, the sheriff running things around town. We did all the set-up scenes and character introductions in the first third/half with the cutaways to something happening in the background. we have little hints that things have been going wrong or strange, a call from Isaac (not seen) to Chris about Allison, rumors Jackson is hearing about an Argent heir, the sheriff talking to Derek about Stiles comes up in a conversation about how it has been weirdly quiet, Lydia drawing or seeing something weird or arrow related, etc. 
The movie is now about finally ending the thing that started this all, hunter involvement, and the main issue is a confused Allison who doesn’t have her memories and was convinced by someone that the BH pack is the enemy and must be destroyed. We watch as the rest of the pack come together to figure out  - if she’s back - how she’s back - who brought her back, it's calling back to early seasons 1 and 2 'who done it' with a few twists when we find out Monroe is dead but was dabbling in something weird – this can be what Peter is here for. 
We get Chris reuniting with everyone and talking to Scott and Deaton about Allison, with illusions to Isaac still in France. We get Jackson back with more of a reason for being there with the noise he has been hearing as a legitimate reason to think hunters are moving again and the lost argent heir that brings him home. We get Peter being the best and a group of kids, Eli plus some of the other strays we saw in the beginning of the movie, being dragged into a war they all thought was long behind them if they were aware of it at all. (those be our New Teen Wolves) Derek is still a dad, but his kid isn’t scared of being a werewolf or shifting but more embarrassed he can’t shift because there are other slightly older, cooler supers in his life (2) and he can’t talk to his dad, the full shifter, about his problems so he is acting out. 
we can still have the group trying to find the nemeton again and we can still have interpersonal relationships, but we make the focus simpler and more human. We get Allison relearning who she is and who she was to all these different people while also setting up a new mystery for these new young wolves that their parents are trying to keep them away from. Allison relearning herself is slower and intercut with everyone not just Scott. The twist being that it really is kinda over, at least with Monroe, but that it's never really over. That Harris was brought back as a test drive for Allison and instead used her to get his own revenge, and then we can end on that ominous plug for a new show that they were pushing. 
Idk this is all I’ve really got, I’m not a writer, but can you see it?!
I know it’s a little fanficy but 1 that’s what I’m doing and 2 so was the movie, OMG was it the most fanfic trope thing I’ve ever seen.
I feel like it's something. It will never happen and hindsight is 20/20, we can’t play what-ifs. But if I could, I would have made this movie instead of what we got. 
Monroe’s last stand, bringing back people from the dead and manipulating them to do her work for her only for it to blow up in her face with Harris and Allison. The real end to the Argents as hunters with Allison coming back and fully embracing the new Beacon Hills and Scott. Relearning what the show was kind of trying to teach us even if it was doing a super poor job most of the time. 
Tell me I’m crazy, I want to hear your thoughts. 
I know this is nuts, but I had to write this out and send it into the void before it ate me up inside.

Could- 👉👈 could I perhaps ask for a rise Mikey x reader short, where like: it starts with a flashback of the boys as kids, going outside for the first time and while exploring, Mikey spots this little girl on the playground and just thinks she's the prettiest creature he's ever seen, so he goes to give her a flower, completely forgetting he's a mutant and like, readers scared at first but then sees the flower and is suddenly flattered
And then flashback ends: Mikey is now left hopelessly in love with reader, who the boys have now been friends with for a long time and reader is like well dam aware of mikeys crush, but decides to act like she doesn't know to see how long it'll take Mikey, but after a failed attempt of impressing reader by almost getting hurt, reader is just like 'fuck it' and makes the first move
If u don't wanna do it then just pretend u don't see this, and if ur interested, feel free to make any changes you'd like. Also pls do not feel rushed and have a good day.
candy hearts and paper flowers
relationship: Mikey x F!reader
warnings: romantic, fluff, humor, minor hurt/comfort, kissing, sfw
word count: 5,289
author's note: omg..my first request!! this was so fun, i've never written for mikey before. i hope you like it!!
Mikey peeks his head out, lifting the manhole cover up a couple of inches to get a look around. The sliver of light that flooded out from the outside was mesmerizing. He blinks, adjusting to the brightness. 
“Woah…!” He lifts the lid even higher. 
“What do you see?” Donnie whispers. “Is it a horse? I read that there are horses out there sometimes.”
“You read that there are horses in New York? Please,” Leo sighs. 
Raph climbed up the ladder behind the other three, urging them to keep moving. “Quit holdin’ up the line!”
Leo and Donnie crash into one another, knocking their noggins awkwardly. “OW!”
Heaving the manhole cover to the side, Mikey jumps through the air. He tucks his body in to do a quick backflip, crying out a high-pitched “Hoo-wah!”
Mikey stood in hushed amazement, taking in the view of the street they popped out of. He’d only seen places like this on T.V. or in comic books, or while sneaking secret looks through sewer drains. But to stand on the pavement, feeling the dirt and grit beneath his toes, it was something else. He simply couldn’t contain his excitement any longer. 
“This is amazing! Hello dumpster! Hello alley cat! Hello mysterious rainbow-colored puddle!” He hopped and skipped with glee, greeting every object his eyes fell on. 
Eventually, Donnie, Leo, and Raph made their way out of the sewer to join him. They too were taken with the mundane sights around them, amazed at the fact that they were finally above ground. Donnie had already pulled out a crumpled up notepad to scratch down notes. Little observations of the people and buildings he saw. Leo was equally enraptured, following Donnie around as he pointed out various things on the ground. 
“Woah, a used cigarette. Cool!”
“Don’t eat it,” Raph warns. 
The red-clad turtle was trying his best to stay vigilant of his brothers, making sure none of them wandered too far off or ingested something they shouldn’t. He couldn't help but be star-struck as well, however. The ambient sounds of cars passing by and humans talking amongst themselves filled his ears. Raph claps his hands together, getting the others’ attention. 
“Okay, boys. Splinter said we could come up and explore for exactly thirty minutes. Not thirty-one minutes, thirty minutes.” Raph gathered up everyone in a tight huddle, laying down the ground rules. “If any of you mess this up for us–”
“All we have to do is keep a low profile and not die, right?” Leo scoffs.
Mikey nods enthusiastically, siding with Leo. “Easy as pie!”
“I concur. Let us all go our separate ways and reconvene here in a half-hour. Commence the synchronizing of watches.” Donnie readjusts his glasses on the ridge of his nose before hitting a button on his wrist. 
That was all Mikey needed to hear before bounding away, giggling to himself. “Cowabunga!”
Raph was soon left standing by himself as the others followed suit, going off in separate directions. Sputtering, he calls out to them. “W-Wait up! Don’t leave me alone!”
Quickly, he chooses to run after Leo across the street. 
Mikey made a beeline through a nearby alleyway to explore its contents. The smell was strangely worse up here than it was down in the sewers. The pungent scent of garbage made his nose scrunch up in disgust. 
“Nasty. Humans just leave their trash lying out like this?”
Once he gets one last look at the graffiti markings on the brick wall, he flattens himself to the corner of the building to check out the perimeter. There were a couple people walking around, talking on phones and looking somewhat distracted. Taking a chance, Mikey steps out onto the sidewalk, suddenly very nervous. 
The locals didn’t seem too interested in a pre-teenage mutant ninja turtle, not so much as sparing him a passing glance. Mikey twiddles his fingers together, almost waiting for someone to scream out in horror. 
“Huh…” he blinks. “I guess New Yorkers really have seen everything.”
He scans around for a moment, casually people-watching. There were so many humans, and they all looked so different! 
Suddenly, his eyes catch a glimpse of a playground just a couple of yards away. His eyes go wide, sparkling. 
“Omigosh!” Without thinking, he sprints over.
The playground was sizable, seemingly a part of a larger park in the neighborhood. Mikey marveled at the monkey bars, jungle gym, and various slides. He does one more double-take, making sure there was no one else around, before launching himself into the air. 
“Aw, yeah! All mine, baby.”
For the next fifteen minutes or so, Mikey sampled all the playground had to offer. This kind of place was the perfect outlet for all his manic energy. He swung off of every monkey bar, climbed through all the plastic tunnels, and dug through the sandbox for any potential treasures that were hidden away. 
As he buried himself within a sand castle he constructed, Mikey patted himself into a cocoon. “There, perfect.”
“What are you doing?” A tiny voice calls out.
“Hm?”
Mikey turned his head toward the swingset to his left. Somehow, he failed to notice a human girl sitting right beside him. She sat clutching the chains of the swing, letting her foot move herself slightly back and forth. 
“I said, what are you doing? You’re gonna get sand everywhere.”
Mikey laid there, looking up to the sky in deep thought. Only his head was visible, while the rest of his body was buried in the sand. That must be the reason why she wasn’t terrified by the sight of his unusual green skin. 
“I like being buried.” He chirps. 
The girl continued to stare, pushing herself lazily on the swing. “Whatever.”
Mikey turns back and gives her a pleasant smile. He was thankful for the company, even if it was a slightly annoyed human. As he opened his eyes to fully look at her, he felt a sudden tightness in his chest. And it wasn’t just from being trapped in a sand prison. 
Mikey didn’t know how to describe it. He could look at a painting and call it beautiful, or look at the moon up above and say it was enchanting. But the person sitting next to him, looking at him with slight indignation, left him gobsmacked.
She tried to look away and continue to enjoy her swing in peace, but she felt Mikey’s eyes bore into her. 
“Do you want me to leave or something?” She sighs.
“What’s your name?”
She turns back to him, a small frown gracing her charming features. The way her scowl curled to the side was adorable. Every minute detail of her face was drawing Mikey in. 
“What’s your name?”
Suddenly, Mikey sits up and lets the sand fall from his person. “Michael. Angelo. Michaelangelo!”
Her annoyed expression falls away as she takes notice of his shell. The green skin, the bald head, suddenly it clicked. 
“You’re a…?”
Mikey scrambles up, putting his hands out in a placating gesture. “I-I know, it’s weird! Is it the mask? It’s the mask, isn’t it?”
He reaches up to untie it and pull it off of his head. Holding it out before him, Mikey waves it around in her face. “See!”
Scoffing, she bats his hand away. “I mean you’re a turtle!”
Mikey secures his mask back on before giving her another winning smile. He shoots his hand out for a shake. 
“Yup! And you are…?”
“I’m leaving.” She slaps his hand away again, rejecting his friendly gesture. 
Mikey watches as she moves to sit up, heart-broken. His lips tremble slightly as he rubs at his hand. Maybe he was being too presumptuous, but he didn’t really expect to get such a cold welcome his first day up on the surface. 
His eyes search around, desperate to find a reason to make her stay. “Wait! I can push you on the swing? If you want…?”
She stops, looking back at Mikey. After a couple seconds of contemplation, she sits back down.
“I guess that’s fine.”
Instantly, Mikey’s mood does a 180. “Yes!”
Stepping behind her, Mikey places his hands on the chains. He begins to step backward and lift the girl into the air. She gulps, her hands gripping tighter.
“This is kinda high.”
“That’s the best part! Here. We. Go!”
Then, Mikey reels back and lets the swing go. He doesn’t take into account the fact his strength was a little more intense than most, accidentally sending the girl flying.
Screaming, she does a full rotation. Mikey stares on in horror as she does another spin. And another. Eventually, she becomes tied to the top rung of the swing set, bound tightly by the chains. 
“That, uh…might be a little too high?” He chuckles.
“GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!” She wails, wiggling against her restraints. “How did you even do that?!”
Mikey quickly jumps up into the air and lands on the bar. He gives her an apologetic look, feeling like he was in real trouble. 
“Sorry! I’m so, so sorry! Let me just—“
She blinks at him, watching as he untangles her from the swing. “You’re…really strong!”
She grins in spite of herself. Her limbs finally go slack and she’s pulled up into Mikey’s grasp. He holds her for a second before gently setting her back on the ground. 
“I’m really sorry again. I kinda can’t control my own strength yet.”
Mikey hangs his head as he lands on the wood chip surface of the playground. 
She kicks her feet, feeling a little awkward for making such a fuss about it. He looked so genuine, tears forming in the corners of his eyes.
“It’s fine…That was actually kind of fun.”
Mikey looks up, hopeful. “It was?”
She nods, holding out her hand. “I’m Y/N, by the way.”
Mikey beams, his eyes shining like stars. He wasn’t sure what it was about this girl that was making him so upbeat. Well, more upbeat than he usually was. He launches forward and brings her into a tight hug, shaking her back and forth. 
“Y/N! You’re my first new human friend! The first of many!”
She groans, trying to escape his enthusiastic hold. “Okay, that’s enough!” 
Chucking, he releases her. “Right. Sorry, too much.”
Mikey rubs the back of his head, smiling goofily at her. She flits her eyes down to his mouth, noticing his missing tooth. Without thinking, she covers her mouth. 
“Your teeth.”
Mikey, feeling suddenly very bashful, closes his mouth. “Yeah, I know. My dad says the tooth gap will go away eventually, but…”
The girl blinks, moving her hand away. She didn’t mean to make him embarrassed at all. To Mikey’s shock, she breaks out in quiet laughter. 
“H-Hey!” He shouts, waving his hands around. “That’s not very nice!”
She laughs even harder, moving her hands away from her mouth. Then, Mikey sees it. She was missing her top right canine. 
Blushing, she points up to her teeth. “You’re just like me! I lost this tooth last week. That’s so funny!”
Mikey’s eyes go wide, watching her continue to heartily laugh. Slowly, his lips curl into a smile. He chuckles along with her, his voice steadily growing in volume. 
As the two of them wind down, Mikey’s smile falls away. He never really interacted with a real human before, was this how he was supposed to feel? His stomach was full of butterflies, hands opening and closing out of sheer restlessness. 
“Can I give you something?”
Walking back to lean against the swing, she nods. “Depends.”
Mikey sweats, realizing he didn’t really have anything to give her. He pats his chest, searching for a gift. “I— I’m gonna give you…”
Looking down, a couple of dandelions sprouting out of the corner of the sandbox catches his eye. Mikey quickly picks them from the ground and presents them to her. He accidentally tore them out by the roots, stringy grass and dirt dangling from the flowers. 
“Flowers! You’re supposed to give cute girls flowers!”
“You…think I’m cute?”
Before he can respond, Mikey notices a large clock face against the side of a neighboring building. It had already been a half-hour! Panicking, he shoves them into her hands before running away.
“GOODBYE!” He screeches.
Mikey peels out, sprinting back toward the direction of the manhole cover he emerged from. He stumbles and trips on the wood chips, accidentally getting some in his mouth. 
“Blecch—!”
He scrambles up to continue his ungrateful exit, leaving the girl behind. She sits dumbfounded, staring at the bouquet of dandelions. A small blush colors her cheeks. 
You smile to yourself, remembering the day you and Mikey first met. 
You look over to him as the two of you stroll through the same park. A good number of years later, things were relatively unchanged. The playground had a couple of updates, some new equipment. Tonight’s destination, however, was the botanical gardens. Mikey insisted that you accompany him tonight, eager to show you the exhibits.
“And, why couldn’t this have waited until tomorrow again?” You ask.
“Because,” he skips ahead, giving you his signature gap-toothed smile. “There’s no one around at night!”
You fold your hands behind your back, winking at him. “So we’re breaking in.”
“No. We’re sneaking in.” He corrects.
Chuckling, you playfully shove him aside. “You just want an excuse to hang out with me alone, don’t you?”
You close your eyes, confidently walking forward. You hear Mikey sputter and cough, having seemingly been found out. He tries his best to cover up his bashfulness with a cool facade. 
“W-What’s so wrong with some good-natured plant watching between friends? You need a little more culture in your life, and who better to provide it than me.”
Mikey places his thumb and forefinger on his chin, his eyes glinting under the dull moonlight. 
“Uh-huh. Sure,” you scoff. 
You didn’t consider yourself a particularly perceptive person. Especially when it came to matters of deciphering people’s intentions. But, Michael was unfortunately kind of an open book. He wore his heart on his sleeve, the poor guy. 
Even a fool could see that he was head over heels for you. You’re not too sure if Mikey had always had a crush on you, but lately he had made quite an effort to shower you with attention. His texts were more frequent, sending you random online quizzes and songs that you just had to see. Mikey was always pretty touchy-feely with his family and friends, giving out plenty of hugs. He was a very physically intimate turtle, sometimes to your detriment. 
“We’re here!”
His voice rips you from your thoughts and you glance up. 
Before you stood a grand building, composed almost entirely of glass windows. The yard surrounding the gardens were almost a little more impressive, countless hedges and water features decorating the area. 
Mikey slides up next to you, waggling his eyebrows. “Right?”
“Okay, this is pretty cool.” You smirk.
“I know. Allow me to razz my tazz…”
You watch as he backflips into the air and sticks to the exterior of the glass building. How did he do that, you wonder? Mikey feels around the glass panel, looking for the loose edge to wiggle himself into. He finally finds it, knocking his elbow against the window. 
Suddenly, he slides in, letting out a surprised squawk. “WOAH—!”
You cringe hearing him fall through a number of limbs, leaves shaking and vines ripping from the impact. The jungle of foliage inside was dense, so you can’t really see where Mikey lands. You run up to the service door, waiting for him to give you some sort of signal.
“Oh, Michael? Are you dead?” You cup your hands together, calling out to him in a sing-song voice. 
Pressing your face against the door, you strain your ears to listen closely. Silence. You click your tongue in annoyance.
“I’m gonna call Raph.” You slowly reach for your pocket.
Mikey slams his head against the other side of the door, his pleading face squished against the glass. “NO, DON’T!”
“AAAH—! Don’t jumpscare me like that!” You shriek. 
Mikey quickly throws open the door before pulling you in by your shirt collar. Stumbling in, you nearly fall over. You huff indignantly while he lifts you back up on your feet. For such a little guy, he sure was strong. 
“Falling for me already, eh?” He jokes. 
You flick his nose. “In your dreams.”
He awkwardly snickers at you, feeling a little shy about his casual flirtation. Mikey didn’t know if he was coming off as cute or just creepy, unable to gauge your reaction. You were always a little more cool and collected than him, your quick wit and charm rivaling even Leo’s. It was humbling, even a little attractive. He follows you from behind like a love-sick puppy, desperate to impress you. 
The two of you eventually walk into the center of the botanical garden and stand in awe of the plant life. Part of you wishes that Donnie was here to inform you both on each and every plant name, he was full of fun facts like that. But, you were happy just to have Mikey here to yourself. It was a good opportunity to test out a theory you had brewing in the back of your brain. 
“So, what first?” You smile, turning to Mikey. “Lead the way.”
He gives you an even bigger smile, eager to have you on the hook. “Oh! There’s that one stink plant!”
He directs you to the right, walking ahead of you before stopping dead in his tracks. You peek your head over his shoulder, looking around curiously.
“What?”
“I, uh— I forgot we kinda made it into a mutant with a security guard.” He chuckles.
You stare at his face, looking all at once bashful and spacey. Smirking, you edge your head closer to his. You were usually pretty touch-averse, but maybe you could try being more physically intimate with him. Just to see what would happen.
“Maybe that’s for the best. I know you have a very sensitive nose,” you whisper. 
Mikey covertly gulps, caught off guard by your sudden closeness and your low voice in his ear. “Let’s go look at the babbling brook! I think I can hear it…babbling!”
Spinning around, he grabs your hand and drags you along behind him. 
You bite at your lower lip, entertained by his flustered behavior. You hated to admit it, but teasing Mikey was just too much fun. You hold his hand tighter.
“Aww, it’s like a tiny waterfall!” You gush, walking up to stand beside Mikey. “I wonder if there are any fish in here?”
Mikey shakily lets go of you, placing his hands on his hips. “There actually are. Lemme show you!”
You furrow your brows, watching Mikey step into the tiny river. The water led to a larger pond, lilly pads and other aquatic plants scattered about the surface.
“That’s probably a bad idea,” you warn. You follow him along the bank, careful not to step on any of the flowers.
“Relax. I’m a turtle, water is my natural habitat.”
You narrow your eyes. “Don’t Ornate box turtles drown really easily?”
He tosses his head at you, continuing to march forward. “That’s a myth.”
You fold your arms over your chest, meeting his cocky gaze with your unimpressed scowl. 
“Let’s see…I think I saw a fish somewhere around here.” Mikey leans down, moving aside a lily pad to investigate. “Ah-hah! Told ya.”
He shoots back up, holding out an orange-spotted koi fish. It thrashed wildly in his grasp, flapping its tail against his hand. 
Sighing, you walk closer to the edge of the pond. “You’re gonna regret that.”
“I’m putting it right back, okay? Chill—“
Suddenly, a whole army of koi fish swarm around Mikey’s feet in the water. They apparently did not take too kindly to his rude intrusion. You wordlessly watch on as Mikey got practically attacked by a dozen or so fish, their tails repeatedly slapping against his body.
“Woah, hey! Stop that! I’m not your enemy! AAA—!” Mikey tries to run out, lifting his legs high and shaking off a fish that had clamped its jaw onto his foot. 
Your hands grip onto your arms in an attempt to stop yourself from laughing. But, as soon as you see Mikey fall into the water, you break. Cackling, you grab at your sides as Mikey pitifully splashed around in the pond. 
“This is amazing!” You tease. “I’m sending this in the group chat.”
“Help me! I lied, I’m drowning!” Mikey screams, waving his limbs about. 
You hold your phone out and start recording a video, chuckling. “The water’s barely a foot deep.”
The last koi fish gives Mikey a harsh slap across the face, leaving him behind to lie in the water. He looked utterly shocked and defeated. 
Once you’ve gotten all the evidence you need, you stow your phone away and kick off your shoes and socks. You were cruel, but you weren’t that cruel. 
“Okay, I think you’ve had enough.” You roll up the cuffs of your pants and gingerly step into the pond, holding out your hand to Mikey.
Blinking up at you, he scowls. “I could have died back there.”
You purse your lips, resolving to just reach down and pull Mikey up by the edge of his plastron. “Serves you right for disrespecting the pond.”
As you lifted him out of the water, his body was stiff as a board. His face was still screwed into an exaggerated frown. You can’t help but chuckle again at him, wiping off some pond scum that had gotten stuck to his shell. 
“What?” He pouts.
“You’re so cute when you look like that.” You pull Mikey out of the pond, peeking back at his offended expression.
“That’s totally not demeaning.”
Once you both get back onto the path, you give him an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry, okay? You just have a naturally cute face.”
Your hands drift up to land on Mikey’s face, gently squishing his cheeks. His eyes were still angry, but you could tell from his blush and his wavering frown that you were really testing his resolve. You knew he wasn’t really mad, just embarrassed. It only made him even more cute. 
Mikey stared at you, using almost all of his willpower not to melt into your touch. You had never been so brazen, so comfortable with casually touching him like this. The cheeky way you were looking at him only made him more flustered. Clearing his throat, he dips out of your hold. 
“The succulents are over here.”
Huffing, he marches away. You can only smirk to yourself as you follow behind. Maybe you were teasing him a little too much. You didn’t really care, though. With a pep in your step, you catch up to meet him at the desert flora section. 
You saw a collection of cacti, some towering over your heads, others small and rotund. Mikey shakes off his growing nerves to present them to you. 
“Behold, the pokey plants. As you can see, they are covered in pokey bits.”
Nodding, you sit your chin upon your fist. “Ah, yes. Very pokey indeed.”
The two of you nod to one another in mock-seriousness. You watch as Mikey begins to smile again, and you feel a little relieved. While you quite enjoyed seeing him playfully mad, you can’t deny that you miss seeing him happy. 
Mikey quirks his head to the side, an idea knocking around in his head. “I wonder…”
You cock your head as well. “Wonder what?”
“Dare me to touch it?” He lifts a hand up toward a particularly sharp-looking cactus. 
You shift your eyes from the plant and back to him, cautiously interested. “I won’t stop you.”
“I’m gonna do it,” he warns. 
“Fine. See what happens.” You toss your hand over your shoulder, walking away. This was bound to end well. 
Before you know it, you hear a loud crunching sound behind you. You twist around to find Mikey crumpled over the cactus’s broken trunk, absolutely covered in thorns. His eyes were as wide as saucers, almost in disbelief of his own actions. 
“Michael!” You gasp. “I swear to god.”
Shuddering, he crawls out of the exhibit, moving through the pebbles that laid about. “Pain…I’m in pain.”
You turn your back to him, exasperated with his antics. “I’m not helping you.”
“Don’t need it. I’m perfectly capable of helping myself.” He stands, legs wobbling. He tries to grab at a large spine poking out of his forearm. 
“Ow.” One thorn. 
“Ow.” Another. 
You grumble, listening to Mikey remove the spines one by one. This was just sad. You slowly turn around, watching as he stands there plucking at his arm. Sighing, you decide to be a little more merciful. 
“You’re lucky you have that shell.” 
You find a nearby bench and plant yourself on it. You pat your hand to the seat next to you, beckoning him to sit down. “Come here.”
Mikey quickly pads over to sit in front of you, swinging his legs around the bench. You follow suit and do a once-over. Thankfully, his legs were mostly unharmed, but his upper body and face were covered in barbs. 
“What did we learn?” You sigh, carefully removing all of the larger spines. 
Mikey tries holding back each cry of pain as you pluck them out, his eyes squeezing shut. “I wasn’t trying to throw myself into a cactus, you know. I just tripped.”
“That’s why are you covered in pokey bits?”
“I– Ouch!” He seethes, recoiling away from you. “I was trying to be cool, okay. Aren’t you impressed?”
Chuckling dryly, you move on to the smaller, more difficult barbs. You knew he was just trying to show off, even if it was kind of pathetic. Internally, you frown. No, he wasn’t pathetic. You somehow felt bad for even thinking that. It wasn’t like he was putting on airs, or being fake. He was actually pretty genuine. 
“Not impressed. Just slightly concerned.”
Mikey sniffs, feeling a little disheartened with your reply. “Sorry.”
You flit your eyes up for a moment. “Why do you think you have to impress me? I already think you’re cool.”
He turns his head away slightly. “I don’t know? I just want to.”
Mikey was usually pretty good about verbalizing his emotional desires. But for some reason, he felt so confused. 
After you pick out the last barb from his cheek, you toss them all away into the bushes. “There, all done.”
You were about to stand back up before you felt Mikey grab at your upper arm. You freeze, looking down at him. 
“I just– Sometimes I feel like I need to show off. Show you that I’m cool and strong, I guess? I’m not super buff like Raph, or smooth like Leo. And I’m definitely not smart like Donnie.”
You move to sit back down, staring at him. You don’t know how to react to his sudden confession, simply opting to remain silent. 
Mikey lifts his head to look you in the eye, a sad smile tugging at his lips. “I just want to make you feel safe.”
You frown. “You think I don’t feel safe?”
Shaking his head, Mikey bails on his own admission. “No, I don’t know. Nevermind.”
In an instant, you get an idea. You rummage around in your bag to pull out your old, worn sketchbook that you carried around everywhere. You leaf through the pages to land in the middle. “You recognize this?”
Mikey blinks away a tear that threatened to accumulate in his eye before looking over. “Your sketchbook?”
“No, this.” You reach in and pull out a couple of pressed flowers. They were shriveled and brown with age, but they were very clearly dandelions. 
Mikey’s sad frown melts away as he leans forward. “Those are…”
“The flowers you gave me. When I first met you, I was actually kind of freaked out. I just remember thinking, ‘Why was this weird turtle harassing me?’” You allow yourself to smile, recalling the memory. 
You hear Mikey chuckle quietly, his eyes softening. 
“But, you were obviously just a huge dork. Sweet, but still a dork. I took those weeds you gave me and put them in here.”
You carefully place them back into your sketchbook, closing it. “I carried them with me all the time, so I wouldn’t feel so alone, y’know? If I ever felt scared, I would just clutch onto this and pretend you were there.”
Mikey sat up straighter, letting your soft words wrap him up into a warm blanket. He felt so safe, so secure in your presence. 
“Thankfully, I didn’t have to do it too often. Because you were always there, somehow.”
Finally, you put your sketchbook back into your bag and look up. You give Mikey a lopsided smile, watching him look at you with quiet amazement. Reaching up, you place your hand upon his flushed cheek, bathing in his warmth. 
Mikey was speechless. Words couldn’t begin to describe what he was feeling right now. He unintentionally allows his head to nuzzle up against your hand, practically sighing. 
“You okay?”
“My skin kind of hurts.” His voice was oddly low, laced with a shy sweetness. 
Leaning forward, you debate with yourself whether or not you want to tease him even more. He looked so vulnerable right now, you wouldn’t dare ruin a rare moment like this. Humming, you indulge yourself and decide to place a soft kiss upon his cheek. You didn’t want to scare him off. 
Mikey’s skin tingles with excitement, electric sparks surging through his body. “Hahh…”
“Am I hurting you,” you whisper. You weren’t sure if he was hissing out in pleasure or in pain. 
He immediately responds. “No, you feel really nice.”
Angling your head lower, you slot your lips gently against his. The kiss is chaste and short, but you feel your heartbeat thrum in your ears. The low light of the night sky illuminated the two of you, making Mikey’s skin practically glow. Moving an inch or two away, you admire his features. 
Mikey sighs, his eyes fluttering open. You meet his soft gaze with your own. After a charged couple of seconds, the two of you break out into laughter. His head falls onto the bend of your shoulder, his breath heavy. 
“I can’t believe you did that.” He exhales shakily. 
“Pull out nearly a hundred cactus spines from your body? Yeah, I can’t believe it either.” You chuckle. 
In a bold move, Mikey smiles against your neck before placing a kiss on your hot skin. You shudder, feeling his teeth brush up against your pulse. 
“Woah-hoh-hoh! Ouch!” You tear yourself away, flapping your hands at his face. “Your teeth are sharper than I thought.”
Mikey gives you a cheeky smile, his tooth-gap on full display. “Sorry, I’m kinda pokey.”
He feels his heart swell in his chest, his limbs going limp and gooey. He wondered if he could even stand up. Seemingly reading his mind, you reach over and hook your arms underneath him. In an impressive move, you heave Mikey up and carry him bridal-style. 
“H-Hey! What are you doing?” He cries out, blushing furiously.
“Carrying you back. Because I can,” you smirk. 
Out of sheer embarrassment, Mikey covers his face. “I didn’t know you could do that.”
“Neither did I!”
And with that, you make your way back to the exit, giggling with Mikey as you bask in your newfound closeness. You hope that he felt safe with you, safe enough to let you into his heart just a little bit more.

Strangers (Yuqi x GN!Reader)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Song Yuqi x Gender Neutral Reader Rating: General Audiences Words: 1108 POV: First Summary: You meet by chance and go on a date. Note: Saw this prompt and just had to do something with it. Tags: idol!Yuqi, meet cute, kissing, movie date, not proofread, fluff and angst
She smiled at me, like any stranger would. There was something odd about meeting someone famous in a place you never expected them to be. It is like your brain just refuses to believe that your idols also exist outside your screen, so I just smiled back at her, like I would do to any nice girl smiling at me. “Woah, your smile is so pretty,” she exclaimed. It only widened my smile and there was nothing I could do to stop myself from hiding my mouth behind my hand. I could feel the red gather in my cheeks. “No, no, don’t be shy, I’m sorry,” she laughed as she waved at my face, trying to get me to remove my hand without touching me. 
“What happened to hello? How are you? My name is…?” I joked, trying to cope with the situation of a gorgeous woman complimenting me so openly. She did not quite seem to get the meme. With those cute, wide eyes, she stared at me, that beautiful smile still plastered on her face. She seemed to think my words over and then offered me her hand. 
“Hello, how are you? My name is Yuqi.” I squinted my eyes at her. Then it all clicked. My anxiety rose high in my chest. I took her hand, shaking it rapidly as I gave her my own name. I couldn’t understand why she was talking to me out of all people. Was it my smile? Surely that wasn’t that special. “I’m off to see a movie on my own. Maybe you want to join me?” I just nodded dumbly, before she dragged me to the theatre I knew was only a street or two away. The short walk was like a brief interview where she asked for my age and where I was from. I did not need to ask any of those questions in return. I had a feeling she knew why. I asked how her week was instead. She complained of long hours and needing some distance from her co-workers sometimes. 
She paid for the tickets before I could offer to. I wanted to get us a big popcorn, but her diet wouldn’t allow it. It was the first time I went to the cinema without getting popcorn. In the dark of the theatre, I could not focus on the explosions on screen, not with Yuqi’s delicate hand resting on mine. I turned my hand so I could hold hers. Our fingers locked together. A little later she tugged me closer so she could place her head on my shoulder. 
When the inevitable moment came when the muscular main character got the girl, I turned my head to look at Yuqi, only to find out she was looking at me already. Her eyes flickered down to my lips and I understood immediately. We leaned in, lips meeting timidly. My internal organs made backflips as her grip on my hand tightened, as if she didn’t want me to ever leave her. I felt flushed and hot all over in spite of the theatre’s aircon being in a perfect working state. My free hand came around to hold the woman next to me by the shoulder. I squeezed the muscle, letting her know I did not want her to move away either. 
I didn’t know how long our lips were gliding against one another, but it was long enough for the next scene to play and we both jumped out of the kiss when another loud explosion echoed through the room. We stared at each other, wide eyes. Our gazes locked together for a few seconds, until we simultaneously started giggling. We tried to muffle the laughter that shook our bodies, but every time our eyes met, the giggles started all over again. The rest of the movie was filled with stolen kisses, whenever someone was caught staring. 
We exited the cinema hand-in-hand. The mall in which it was located was already abandoned. We took the long route through the marble-floored building, exchanging thoughts on the movie while swinging our locked hands back and forth. When we were finally at the ground floor, she pulled me aside between a pillar and a wall. “I like you a lot,” she whispered against my lips. I smiled against her lips and wrapped my arms around her. 
“I like you too, probably even more than you like me,”  I replied, before closing the distance between our lips. This kiss was different from all those we shared in the theatre. The butterflies still assaulted my stomach as she wrapped her arms around me and tenderly kissed me with a desperation hidden in every movement of her soft lips against mine. Dread pulled at my heartstrings as I started to feel like she was kissing me goodbye. I held her tighter, as if that would prevent her eventual departure, but when she started to push, I could not find it in me to force her to stay. 
Our bodies no longer touched as she stepped back. If that kiss was not telling enough, the look she now had in her eyes was. I already started wondering if I did something wrong. “Why?” I almost whispered, a crack in my voice betraying how close I was to crying. I just got her and there she stood, ready to leave. 
Yuqi forced a smile on her face. “You know what I do for work.” I nodded. “There is no place for…” She pointed between us, before putting her hands in her jacket. A deep breath and her fake smile almost seemed real. “Perhaps another life,” she mused. 
I took a deep breath and nodded. “Perhaps,” I repeated, trying to process this unbelievable heartbreak. This was all it took, huh? One compliment to make me follow like a puppy. One movie to make me wonder what those lips taste like. One kiss to make me fall in love. A dozen more to prepare my heart to be broken. “So you just wanted a one-date relationship?” 
She shrugged. “Is it so wrong to want the things you cannot have?” I shrugged too. I guess I understood where she was coming from. Just one date to make her feel like she lived a normal life. “I’ll leave first then.” I followed her two steps around the corner and watched her walk up to those big glass doors. She already had pushed one open when she paused and twisted her body to wave at me one last time. Just like she entered my life earlier today, she was leaving now. She smiled at me, like any stranger would.

Jake English, Dirk Strider
Page 633-636
JAKE: Fuck!!!
JAKE: Why did she have to go and build a moon laser!!!
JAKE: Why did she have to go and
JAKE: And SAY all that!!!
DIRK: It's not over.
DIRK: That moon laser doesn't mean shit.
JAKE: ...if theres no one to press the button?
DIRK: Boom.
DIRK: Or, you know.
DIRK: No boom.
JAKE: Her guard is down...
DIRK: And you have a gun.
JAKE: I have TWO guns.
DIRK: Let's be real, this wouldn't even be the first time you've thought of it.
JAKE: Its... an option.
DIRK: Or.
DIRK: You help her win the battle.
DIRK: Avoid baptizing the Earth with laser-fire.
DIRK: And she uses The Point, and the world doesn't end.
DIRK: Probably.
DIRK: Who the fuck knows.
JAKE: What should i do?
DIRK: I'm not gonna tell you.
JAKE: I already know youll want me to do whats heroic.
JAKE: But you wouldnt want me to kill jane either.
JAKE: Would you?
DIRK: Stop staring at me like I'm gonna tongue-kiss the answer into you, dude.
DIRK: You know what you need to do.
JAKE: But jane was right about me!
JAKE: I cant be trusted.
JAKE: I dont even like 99% of people.
DIRK: Then do it for one person.
DIRK: Aren't you tired of spreading yourself thin trying to believe in everything?
DIRK: Because it's looking pretty fuckin' likely that the future where Tavvy is happy and the future where Jane is alive don't coincide.
DIRK: You have to kill one for the other to survive.
JAKE: It sounds like youre gunning for her.
DIRK: It sounds like *you're* gunning for her.
DIRK: Say what you will about Dirk, but he always wanted you to be your best self.
DIRK: He pushed you hoping if he did it hard enough, you'd push back.
DIRK: That's a far cry from whatever neutered domestic purgatory Jane's offering you.
DIRK: Wasn't it nice to be believed in, man?
JAKE: Ugh.
JAKE: Can i make an honest query?
JAKE: Did i really kill him?
DIRK: Hm.
JAKE: I did, didnt i?
DIRK: Common sense says no.
JAKE: Cant you swing that one by your esoteric telepathic dirk connection?
DIRK: That's a tricky fuckin' wicket, man.
JAKE: Its "sticky wicket".
DIRK: It's nothing, because that's a stupid fucking phrase cooked up by fake people about a fake sport from a dead planet.
DIRK: Anyway, it's tricky because there's not really all that much of anything left of the big man.
DIRK: Not here, anyway.
JAKE: Oh, baloney!
JAKE: Thats not how this works. Youre the supernatural tsaheylu of our combined "steezes".
JAKE: This isnt my first ride in the rodeo, mister, I KNOW THE RHYTHM OF THIS BUCKING BRONCO.
JAKE: HES STILL HERE, DAMMIT!
DIRK: I'm sorry.
DIRK: He's gone, dude.
JAKE: OH FUCK OFF.
JAKE: YOU CHARLATAN.
DIRK: Yeah.
JAKE: HORSES ASS.
DIRK: Get it all out, man.
JAKE: YOU MALEVOLENT MASCULINE MALFEASANT.
DIRK: I know a crisp glass of personal culpability isn't what you ordered, but hey.
DIRK: It's better than relapsing.
JAKE: Im drunk right now.
DIRK: And that sucks, buddy.
DIRK: But I'm talking about the big show of "everything's fine now" kitchen table red undie dirty dancing you did.
JAKE: Oh, i forgot about that.
DIRK: You fuckin' wish you did.
DIRK: It'd be the only reasonable excuse you'd have for nipping this uncomfortable epiphany in the bud so you could slink back to following orders from Dirk.
JAKE: ...
JAKE: Gods hooks, i backflipped right into my old ways!
DIRK: Don't beat yourself up about it. It's a running theme with literally everybody we know.
DIRK: You all get caught up in these feeling jams, hugging it out in self-realizational bliss.
DIRK: Then, bam.
DIRK: Premature ejaculation.
DIRK: That passionate growth grind ends before it builds to anything actually satisfying.
JAKE: :(
JAKE: Are you saying i need to be red undies jake again?
DIRK: Absolutely the fuck not.
DIRK: Hands off the belt, buddy. You've graduated.
DIRK: You're fully dressed Jake now.
DIRK: Sitting on the sticky floor of a custodial closet, hidden away from anything certain and good in this world.
DIRK: Alone.
JAKE: This is scary! I dont like this.
DIRK: Fuck yeah it is. This is sweaty, achey, burning transformation, brother.
JAKE: I want to go back! I want to be the other guy again.
DIRK: You can't be the other guy anymore, Jake.
DIRK: We're sending him upstate to live on a beautiful farm, where they're gonna immediately drag him out back and put him out of his fucking misery.
DIRK: Remember when you told Egbert you wanted someone to hold you accountable?
JAKE: No.
DIRK: Well.
JAKE: Nooooooo.
DIRK: "Here's Johnny!"
JAKE: AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
JAKE: Oh...
JAKE: *sniff*
JAKE: Oh, dirk...
JAKE: Cripes, if there really is no magical component to all of this,
JAKE: if youre really gone,
JAKE: then i am simply a forty year old man... being led by the nose... by an imaginary friend.
JAKE: That is not cute.
DIRK: It's kind of cute.
JAKE: No!
JAKE: Its mental illness!
DIRK: It can be both.
DIRK: Look.
DIRK: What you need to do is stop sobbing into your own fucking arms and make a decision.
DIRK: Spying for the rebellion, running away... these were steps in the right direction, but they also had, y'know.
JAKE: Plausible deniability.
DIRK: They were deflections.
DIRK: And at the end of the day, that's what choosing Jane would be, too.
JAKE: Its odd, but...
JAKE: Shucks, i dont want to cut her down right before she makes this big turnaround.
JAKE: If shed decided to keep her promise...
JAKE: thatd be bitter fucking berries to live with.
DIRK: But?
JAKE: But she probably wont change, will she?
DIRK: Why in the fuck would she?
DIRK: She'll have won.
JAKE: But... i dont think she was meant to be this way. Do you?
DIRK: Like, was she born to be a wildly racist dictatorial cake boss?
JAKE: Ok, when you put it that way it sounds a bit bonkers.
JAKE: What i mean is...
JAKE: Take me, for example.
JAKE: I know its not my fault janey got a bit rough and tumble with our relationship. That fundamentally, i didnt deserve it.
JAKE: But that doesnt exactly make me a mensch by default, does it?
JAKE: In fact i worry there might be more of me thats, well... inherently bad than not.
JAKE: And thats why everything tends to get so furiously fucked all the time!
JAKE: Everyone is waiting around for this better version of me to pop up, but thats never going to happen.
JAKE: Because if it did, it wouldn't be me anymore.
DIRK: So, are you trapped being Mr. Pissy Pantyloos Loser Man no matter what?
JAKE: Sort of.
JAKE: What do you think?
DIRK: I don't know.
DIRK: Maybe?
JAKE: Oh...
DIRK: Who even gives a fuck?
DIRK: This is some big philosophical philandering you're trying out, and we didn't even finish elementary school.
DIRK: The best we've got to work with is whatever you gleaned from "My Dinner with Andre" and "Blade Runner."
DIRK: And you fell asleep during "Andre."
JAKE: Point taken.
DIRK: Here's what we do know: when you face our friends tomorrow, they're gonna be none-the-wiser about the insane masturbatory matrix bullet time battles you've been having with yourself in your own head.
DIRK: What will be real to them is what you DID.
DIRK: That's it.
DIRK: Show them you're trying.
DIRK: Or don't, and get left behind.
JAKE: Good god...
JAKE: This is the worst pep talk... ever.
DIRK: It's you, dude, what did you expect?
JAKE: True.
DIRK: Do you want to be left behind?
JAKE: No!
JAKE: I want to see tavvy grow up!
JAKE: I want to choose him!
JAKE: But i want to believe in jane too...
DIRK: Sigh.
JAKE: Listen.
JAKE: I never really understood all that much of the "doomed timeline" hoopla you cerebral types tend to gab on about.
JAKE: But... its nice to think that there might be countless janes somewhere out there who never stopped being happy.
JAKE: Baking, getting up to all manner of lighthearted mischiefs... true blue all around.
JAKE: When i think of her, thats whats real to me.
JAKE: What she is now, what these rotten unenviable circumstances have made of her, its all just...
DIRK: Happenstance.
JAKE: Is that stupid?
DIRK: Probably, but you're a god of Hope.
DIRK: You're a poster-child for making stupid shit feasible.
DIRK: And no one has the power to say what's true for every Jane.
DIRK: I'm sure if you asked a couple of them how they feel about labor camps and domestic violences, they'd hit you with a "Woah there, buster jones."
JAKE: "Thats not for me!"
DIRK: "No siree!"
JAKE: Hehehe.
JAKE: Exactly.
JAKE: If i can believe in those janes,
JAKE: i think i can let this one go.
DIRK: Extravagant hoops to stumble through just to keep believing, man.
DIRK: It's sneaky. I like it.
JAKE: Its decided then?
DIRK: Seems so.
DIRK: You can finally leave the closet.
JAKE: Har, har.
JAKE: Goofs aside, old buddy...
JAKE: I get the strange sense i wont be speaking with you again.
DIRK: You won't. Why would you?
DIRK: You're normal now.
JAKE: But-
DIRK: You don't need him.
JAKE: It feels good to pretend, though.
JAKE: To hold on a little while longer.
DIRK: Don't.
JAKE: Fine! Fine...
JAKE: Hope is the crummiest aspect of the lot, huh.
JAKE: I swear the only time its worth a lick more than delusions and hot air
JAKE: is if it really fucking hurts.
DIRK: Welcome to being a person, Jake English.

Wet Sock 2x09: Womb Builds a Destiel Bomb
Season One / 2x01 / 2x02 / 2x03 / 2x04 / 2x05 / 2x06 / 2x07 / 2x08
Wombat did a double triple backflip frontflip and landed expertly on his marsupial toes. Rad was launched out of Ohio and slammed face first into the dusty road, but pushed off with sheer chin strength and righted herself, also striking an Epic Pose. Then Misp came tumbling through, about to form an Epic Pose, when they tripped on their Crocs that were still sticky with Grimace Shake. They smacked into their brother and mom, sending all three sprawling onto the ground.
"Misp you fucking dweebus," Womb groaned, struggling to his feet or paws or whatever. Rad rubbed her head, looking up.
"Where...when... are we?"
A giant election map dominated the sky, clouds proclaiming that putin was stepping down. A darkened town surrounded them, the remains of a former Superwholock empire. The distorted notes of Wendy Williams on the Masked Singer performing Native New Yorker echoed across the ruins.
"We're in November 5th, 2020," Womb said, glancing around at the empty houses. Misp screamed, pointing at something on the ground.
It was a piece of fishing tackle, left in the middle of the road. Upon closer inspection, it appeared to be holding a pride flag. Misp walked toward it, eyes so wide they could make Y/N jealous. Just before they could grab it, Womb swatted it away.
"Hey!" Misp kicked Womb. "I was gonna get it."
"You don't want to touch that. I read about it in our grandparent's secret tomes," Womb said, pointing to another abandoned fishing lure further down the street that was wearing a rainbow sticker. "It's... oh god... it's queer bait."
"No!" Misp said, stepping back. "That can't be true! Queer bait isn't real!"
"It's very real," Rad said, kicking a stray queer bait into the shadows. "It caused the downfall of many an empire. You don't fuck with queer bait."
"As long as we steer clear of it, we should find everything we need to save Beluga and Fuck," Womb said. "We just need to build a bomb."
"FUCK YEAH! BOMB!" Misp shouted.
Womb pointed to the sky, "Every midnight, Castiel confesses his love to Dean, and this realm is briefly revived. If we harness all that energy, we can build a bomb big enough that Y/N will have to come to fix the damage herself. While she's distracted, we can find Bel and Fuck and bring them back to the estate."
"Or," Rad said, shrugging in her iconic pose. "We could just go home."
"But Mom..." Misp said. "I really wanted to build a destiel bomb. With womb. I mean also save my grandparents from having their atoms torn apart by Y/N, but mostly I wanted to build a bomb with womb, mom."
"Offspring, the queens and kings of the multiverse sing that oh fuck I can't rhyme that much, well actually, Author!Beluga can't cause he's shit at writing poetry on the spot," Rad said, shaking her head, but in fact, she was not dead, and her favorite color was not red, but she wished she could eat some bread, in bed, and then go to the fictional country from Brandon Sanderson's the Stormlight Archive, Jah Keved.
"...whut?"
Rad knelt down, and patten Misp's mushroom head. "If you want to save your grandparents, that's fine. I won't stop you from building a destiel bomb. But I'm not gonna help you either."
"But Mom, it's Beluga and Fuck," Womb said.
"Yes," Rad said. "They handled themselves before. They can handle themselves without our help."
She turned around, and opened a rift back to the Quarter Family estate. She turned back to her kids. Womb shook his head.
"I'm gonna help Womb with the Destiel Bomb, mom," Misp said. Rad nodded.
"Don't get queerbaited."
-------------------------------------------------
Rad walked back into the manor, her head hung. She had no idea how long she'd been gone, but hopefully Elmo hadn't--
"RAD!" She looked up to the ramparts of her estate and saw... Elmo.
And standing behind her, cerulean orbs quavering, was Y/N.

HE WAS AWAKE?! Pt. 2
Tumblr media

“Did you just call me a self-sacrificing idiot-?” SHIT-
Neither of us spoke for a good 10 seconds. In those ten seconds I'm not even sure if I was breathing. “Yes…?” there was definitely some uncertainty to my tone of voice- I mean how the fuck was that, what Anthony was focused on! I just confessed my love for him while he was “asleep”, and his main worry is that I called him a self-sacrificing idiot. I could feel my stomach finally drop, suddenly I became very aware of everything around me. This was shit.
The way his breath fanned on my neck and chest made the hair on the back of my neck stand up, how he watched my every movement, but I was stuck in place as if I'd been ghost locked. My hands were still settled in his hair, my shoulders tense, head practically spinning.
I want to throw up. At this point my nerves are so bad, I could throw up. Nonetheless I spoke softly and shakily. “I should've checked, if you were asleep-” This was painful. Physically painful, My stomach was doing backflips- and not good backflips you get when you're happy, those horrid one's you get when you can feel the worst about to come. ”you weren't supposed to hear that-'' Why wont my mouth shut up- “I'm sorry I just…” -Oh wait, I’m supposed to shut my mouth up.
I didn't try to speak anymore, just slowly moved myself away from Anthony, moving to the end of the bed to stand up. My eyes were swelling with tears, like anticipation in a good book, they were building up to drop the worst part.
“Alias-” I can feel how wobbly my legs are, my vision was blurry for a few seconds when I stood up and I went for the door. I opened it quietly, “Alias! Would you list-” slipping out before I could hear the rest of what he wanted to say. This shit was unbearable. I’ve never wanted to throw up more, maybe I should, it might make me feel better- No I know who can make me feel better.
Lucy Carlyle. Was my best friend. When she first moved in we were rooming together, because we were fixing up my room to be liveable again after a small accident with some smoke and a left on solder iron. In those two months of us living together we’d become very close, learning things about each other, we hadn't even told the people closest to us before. She's is who’s room, i'm speed walking to right now.
“Lucy! Lucy, please open the door, I need someone to hate this jackass with me.” I knocked as softly as I could but hopefully hard enough for her to hear it. We had names for them both, George was Asswipe and Lockwood was Jackass, we did this so we could talk about them without them noticing, although it was mostly used for Lockwood since Lucy loved to tease me about having a “crush” on him. When she opened the door she looked tired, her hair was a bit messy, one hand was rubbing her eye while the other held someone else's. Oh shit I forgot Norrie was here.
“Hi Norrie, Lucy, I'm so sorry for interrupting your time with your girlfriend but our boss is an ass.” The more I spoke, the more I could hear my voice start to crack from the overwhelming emotions swirling in my head. This fucking sucked. This was so shit- I hate this. Norrie just nodded her head and laid it on Lucy's shoulder. Lucy gave her forehead a quick kiss before she whispered in her ear softly. Norrie moved to lay back down in Lucy’s bed while Lucy stepped out and shut the door behind her.
We both moved without speaking, Walked down the stairs past my room, where the door was cracked still. Lockwood was in my room, stood up looking around at the metal creations hanging off the ceiling. Both me and Lucy were looking into the room, spying on him. “Why's lockwood in your room Alias?” I sighed and lifted my head up nodding a no for now, before we started our descent down the staircase again.
When we got to the kitchen I sat down, while Lucy put the kettle on the burner. When she did so she looked over to me with a raised eyebrow. “So what did the jackass do this time?” I sighed softly and finally let the tears slip out of my eyes. “I confessed my love for him and called him a self-sacrificing idiot while I thought he was asleep- But he wasn't asleep.” Lucy's face cringed. She didn't know it was this bad. “And when he answered he said, “Did you call me a self-sacrificing idiot,” completely ignoring what I said before.”
She put a hand on her forehead. “Oh Ali…Ali” She walked over to me, wrapping her arms around my head and patting my back softly. “He's an idiot.” I nodded along with her, hugging her waist back. Tears fluently slipped out of my eyes, They slipped out because I was definitely not letting them out willingly. “He's the biggest Jackass! I mean I told him I loved him and he focused on that!” I sighed when she let go, I put my head into my hands and sighed. “of all things, the idiot focused on that!”
Lucy laughed lightly, She always had this face when she knew something you didn't, What did she know? “What do you know!?” She jumped almost scared. “Uh- Nothing, what are you talking about-” I squinted at her. “You stuttered you almost never stutter that hard, What do you know, Carlyle.”
She ignored my question and took the whistling kettle off the burner, she turned the stove dial to off, took three cups down, Mine, Norries, and one I couldn't see, because she was obviously standing in front of it, to hide it from me. She poured hot water into all three, took two tea bags out of an earl gray box and a hot chocolate packet out of a different box. “You hate earl gray.” She looked back at me and raised an eyebrow. “I do, But Lockwood doesn’t.” I squinted at her as threat when she stepped out of the way of my line of sight and lockwoods mug itself. “I don't wanna talk to him.” Lie. “Oh don't bullshit me, Alias.” She scoffed at the horrible lie. “I know you like the palm of my hand. We both know, you want to know what he's thinking right now, So you're going to talk to him.”
I rolled my eyes watching closely as she mixed my hot chocolate powder into the hot water, after she put the two bags of earl gray into the other two cups of water. She handed me my cup, as well as Lockwoods, and pulled me to stand up.
We made it to the bottom of the staircase before she stopped me. “Hear him out Ali, I Know you're not the happiest with him right now, but hear his side, ok?” I just nodded a yes, and continued to walk up the stairs with her. Stopping in front of my door. Lockwood was now looking around at my metal working table. Me and Lucy made eye contact, she gave me a thumbs up before softly pushing me into the door and scrambling off herself.
When I was pushed into the door I tried my hardest not to spill any of the hot liquid on myself. Anthony was startled when I barged in. “Are you ok, Alias?” He came to my aid almost immediately, helping me steady myself. I set both the cups down on the desk right beside the door, sighing deeply and rubbing my forehead, hoping maybe i'll explode and not have to deal with this. But I still looked him in the eye and tried my absolute best not to sound like I was going to cry when I spoke. “Why didn’t you respond to me, when I said “I love you”?” He immediately dodged the question. “Can you hand me the cup?”
“Anthony, you answer my question now and I'll at least have some understanding of how you feel, or I'll walk out of this room right now.” I couldn't tell how Anthony felt in the moment, He was so confusing!- Why was he so blank faced it made no sense. This was supposed to be a big emotional moment when he rejects me and says he loves someone else and I try to move on. “We never speak of this again and we're both left confused. So please Ant don't do that to me-” Ok so maybe I sounded a bit desperate, I couldn't help it! my emotions were getting so overwhelming, I felt like I was about to explode. “-Just reject me and let's lay back down and go to sleep,” My hands ran through my hair, the pieces falling in front of my face. He grabbed my hands and pulled me close to his chest, his arms wrapped around my waist and his head laid on my own. “Please Ant…” I think I’d broken his heart at that moment. My voice spoke sweet like honey but it was saturated in desperation.
He sighed softly, Taking in that moment as much as he could. “I didn't respond because you make me nervous, Alias. Your touch could burn holes in my skin, darling.” His arms loosened his grip around me, Slowly slipping up to my face, cradling it in his hand. ”That was poetic, Anthony..” We both chuckled, I kissed his palm and smiled at him warmly. ”I do love you, Alias. I was just too much of a wimp to say it.” I giggled, his other hand moved to cup the other side of my face. ”Yeah you are a wimp.” I pulled him closer and dug my head into his chest. ”Thank you so much, darling for making me feel better-” I giggled once again trying to hide how happy this made me feel..
Lockwood used his pointer finger and thumb, making me face him. He wasn't using that stupid charming smile that although I loved, didn't feel like the real him. Instead he gave me that boyish grin, the one that made my heart flutter when I made eye contact with him, the one that showed how vulnerable he was willing to be with me. “Can I kiss you? Before I realize this is another crazy dream, I’ll play on repeat in the morning.” Laughing lightly, I placed my hands on his hips. “oh, you’ve been dreaming about me?” I just knew my face was lit up like a Christmas tree, I tried my best to softly whisper out a response. “But please do kiss me you idiot.”
When we kissed for the first time it wasn't what i thought it would be, it was awkward and felt weird. But afterwards we still giggled about it. This time I grabbed his face and pulled him down slightly so his lips would slot just perfectly with mine. The first kiss wasn't that great, But the second kiss was electric. His hands trailed up my hips, up my waist, one stopping on my back, the other on the nape of my neck. Our body's pulled as close together as possible. Our mouths moved perfectly together, like we were singing the same song. I had to pull away first, he was following my lips as they left his own. "I simply cannot believe that I waited this long to kiss you.” I laughed at his words, but not in a mocking way- in a feeling of pure joy. “I'm so glad you did…But my bed looks kinda lonely. I'm sure it wouldn't mind, two more people?”
He raised an eyebrow at me, jokingly. “What are you saying, Alias? Trying to get me in your bed.” I sighed softly, kissing his forehead, and backing up from him slightly towards my bed.. “You have to be my boyfriend's first jackass.” He gave me a smug smirk. “Oh so I have to be your boyfriend to get in bed with you huh?” Anthony walked towards me slowly. Once he reached me, he lifted me up slightly and watched me fall on the bed. Immediately laying down next to me. “Looks like I'm your boyfriend now, darling.”
This idiot- “Very smooth Ant- But yes now you are my boyfriend.” He didn't ask, he just said. I'm sure if I would’ve said I wasn't comfortable with it he would’ve backed off but after what just happened there, I'm sure he knew.
He pulled me closer to him, feeling his chest go up and down with his breathing, hands wrapped around my waist and our legs tangled together once more. It was the same yet, so different, at the same time. “Good night, Alias.” He kissed the top of my head softly. “Good night, Anthony.” I repeated the action on his cheek.
Laying my head down on his chest and feeling my eyes slowly…fall closed. Finally meeting the sandman.
(George was not happy about our wasted tea bags, he found in the trash the next morning.)

The anti Taylor swift bloggers are always so much more annoying about her that the swiftie mutuals. You see your swiftie mutuals and they’re like ‘this line really spoke to me because as a woman, I’ve seen the maddening expectation to simultaneously be seen as sexy and also childlike” or “I really found Purple Violet Thunder Cloud to be a refreshing change and I especially enjoyed the allusion to this writer.”
Is it relevant to me? No, but neither is whatever show they’re watching this week. And me talking about whatever bullshit I’m talking about isn’t especially relevant to them, either. But that’s my girl and she’s having fun! She’s liking this thing she likes!
While the anti Taylor swift bloggers are like “if Justin Bieber threatened to jump off a building, 90% of teenagers would be sobbing. Hit LIKE if you’re part of the ten percent that would yell Do a backflip”.
It’s like, aren’t you tired? I can’t tell you the last time I felt the need to Publicly Respond to a musician I don’t like who makes music that I don’t like releasing music that I don’t like. It’s hard to find time to listen to and respond to the music I do like! I think you need to be busier.

Why do you think Tom Taylor is racist/ableist?
If you’re a stan of his, this should be your last ask. Not that I would answer another if you refuse any criticism of him
Tom Taylor has a habit of poorly portraying both poc and disabled characters. Sometimes excluding them entirely if not relying solely on a white abled perspective of disability and race. He’s uneducated. He’s careless. The only positive/neutral sounding word is that I can say he’s consistent.
The biggest ableist thing of all rn is Heartless. He created a disabled character full of stereotypical vilifying disability tropes. The man used p*ycopath and s*ciopath to describe a character in big 2024 (and multiple preceding years. Now both of those words have LONG ableist and racist history attached them. One of the main reasons people diagnosed with commonly associated conditions (it’s not just the antisocial personality disorder which people often believe) prefer not to use it or even suggest that others don’t. But specifically heartless, Tom wrote that a character with a condition that is long vilified by writers and used it to attach it to his loss and lack of humanity. Which is only further elevated by his cybernetic limbs. And of course to top it all off he was raised by a serial killer who also should similar tendencies while being associated with a word that is for disability.
And what’s his representation of disability outside of that dogshit and dead. Literally. It goes beyond drama or whatever the fuck as everything he writes is clearly fueled by the same thoughts I have to tell people to stop thinking every day as a disabled person. But he keeps thinking them
Look how terrible his Babs was. Apparently she’s only disabled when he feels like making a weird speech about pizza in the park that is later fully ignored as she backflipped off buildings whenever she felt like it. Look up the sexy lamp test and you got his Babs. And that’s not even touching that hearing aid disaster that is also out of character for dick cause this cake needed icing.
He also has the same tendency that fanon fans do when it comes to Damian’s behavior and aggression. I’ve already spoken about a long time ago. I don’t need to talk about it again but it’s rooted stereotypes and vilifying specifically Arab characters.
How he wrote Ra’s well in his story I’ll never know because Talia and Damian so fucking awful.
The Romani smile……..god that doesn’t fucking exist.
He turned Bea into the disposable black girlfriend ngl. And the fact that he took away everything that made her the character people enjoy. It may not be solely because of her race, but him continuously disrespecting black female characters is worth noting. Like he didn’t even know Nubia was the queen.
The time where he took the opportunity to promote his comics when Anna Diop was being harassed and sent racial slurs certainly doesn’t help his image either.
He’s a weak, performative centrist “ally.” I can be kind and say it’s more ignorance than malice. Which is still racism and ableism btw
