Hi! Sorry if you've already answered this but what does each RO feel and think about MC path of either Justice or Revenge? (Heir path)

(Love to see what everyone else thinks as well)

I'm just curious to know what Rin truly thinks about MC going for revenge, because I feel like he's a bit reluctant? But also, an heir to a crime family going for justice? (Giving him over to the police after getting enough evidence to convict him) I can't really see him approve that, either.

I'm also curious of what their "preferred" heir MC is, Ruthless or Merciful, admired or feared etc.

Am definitely curious to know how that affects Ash as well. I love my little psycho MC (Definitely some Jinx vibes going on there) but then I get concerned and worried when I see Ash being like "Whoa, so cool! Never seen a body rain blood before, awesome! Whoo, murder! 🥳"

Then i'm like "Wait... No, this is bad Ash, BAD! Blood rain isn't awesome! It's horrifying! It's literally what happens in the APOCALYPSE! That's it, we're going to have a long talk when we get home about Wrong and Right!"

...then later when she gets her birthday present she'll giddily ask Luka if she can try torturing him too 😭

I feel so conflicted when Ash asks MC about what she will do with the killer... Then says what he wants, which is exactly the same, so I can't really tell him not to do the same... But it makes me so concerned every time, and guilty.

I don't want to bring my sweet, beloved firecracker down and even darker path than the one we're already on 😭

Ash and Rin prefer revenge to justice (letting the justice system do what it was supposed to do a long time ago). Probably because of the families and environment that they’re both raised and live in, they believe retaliation against such personal slight should be taken into their own hands.

However, whereas Ash’s revenge might be explosive and impulsive as they chase the quickest way to personally get their hands on the one who wronged them, Rin’s revenge is cold and calculating.

It’s full of reckoning, scheming, and pulling of strings behind the scenes and they’re content to let others to do the dirty work. They don’t really care about seeing the one who wronged them face-to-face and kill them with their own hands like Ash does.

That doesn’t make their revenge less personal though, and dare I say, sometimes, their revenge ends up being more drawn-out and torturous for the poor schmuck. The true definition of “revenge is a dish best served cold”.

And Rin does prefer Ruthless MC in the sense that they both have a more similar mindset. Of course, they’ll still love Merciful MC the same, but being with such kind MC makes them highly protective of them since they don’t want to see them get hurt or taken advantage of.

They’ll do whatever it takes to keep MC safe behind MC’s back, doing the necessary things that Merciful MC might not have the heart to do themself. Same thing with Ash as well, which is why in the Ash/MC/Rin poly, Ash and Rin will actually become really close and trusted confidantes of each other because they—almost all of the time—have the same mindset and overarching goal.

Santana and Skylar, of course, prefer justice and letting the right people dispense due punishment. Although, a more cynical Santana might not be too opposed to MC having revenge as well since they’ve seen firsthand how corrupt and sometimes incompetent the system is; they can’t really blame MC and the Morozovs to want to take matters into their own hands.

And as for your last sentence about Ash… 🥺 They’ll gladly walk with MC down a darker path. They actually feel they are already walking down that path a long time ago, especially since they accepted working as the Family’s enforcer… 😥

Hii! I'm srry for requesting sm but can I plz request a Velvet and Veneer oneshot with a preteen sister??

Basically, One day reader invites one of her friends over and reader starts to realize she's growing feelings for her friend (u can name readers friend whatever) and reader confesses to her friend, leading them to having their first kiss. Velvet and Veneer are shocked and confused. But the reader was js scared of coming out to them??

A/N ~ Sure Hope you enjoy!

~I Like Girls~

Velvet and Veneer + Queer!Younger Sister!Reader

Fandom: Trolls 3: Band Together

Relationship: Familial

Genre: Fluff, comedy

Synopsis: Velvet and Veneer find out that you like girls after confessing to your friend.

Warnings: Reader coming out(also technically Veneer), Velvet and Veneer spying on Reader and her friend

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There she went, talking about her interests again. You’d think one would get tired of hearing about the same thing over and over again by the same person, but not you. In fact, you love it when she does this.

Skylar was your best friend. But recently, you’ve realized that your feelings towards her might not be so platonic. Tonight, after listening to her talk, you’re now certain that you have a crush on her. You love how happy she looks, just talking about something she loves. You love how expressive she is with her hands as she does so.

Skylar suddenly stops. “Oh sorry, I’m probably boring you, aren’t I?” She asks, becoming embarrassed.

“Oh, no! Not at all! I love hearing about your interests!” You reassured her.

She smiled, looking down to avoid eye contact, still a bit embarrassed. You took a deep breath. You’re gonna tell her. Trying to hype yourself up in your head, you sat up straight, and started the confession.

~~~~

“Why did you insist on going on a snack run, Veneer?” Velvet complained, all while holding a few grocery bags in her arms.

“Because, we were running low! And I wanna make sure sis and her friend have choices!” Veneer explained, making Velvet groan.

The two were approaching your bedroom door. Veneer opened his mouth, about to surprise you, but what he heard from inside made him shut it immediately.

“I like you.”

Velvet and Veneer snapped their heads to face one another, both giving the same shocked and confused expression. They quietly leaned closer, looking in through the small crack in the door.

“Like, not as a friend. I wasn’t sure before, but tonight really made me realize it. You’re just so cool, and fun. It’s okay if you don’t feel the same, I’m not sure if you like girls so…” You paused awkwardly. You looked away, rubbing the back of your neck. You awaited her possible rejection. A small laugh, and a hand on yours made your heart jump.

“I like you too!” Skylar said, much to your delight. You were still frozen, not exactly sure what to do. But Skylar did. She leaned forward, and put her lips on yours. You happily leaned into the kiss.

After a few seconds, you pulled away. The two of you said nothing, just smiled at each other. Suddenly, you heard your door creak open.

Velvet and Veneer stood outside, mouths hung open.

“Oh my god, did you guys see all that?” You asked, praying that you were wrong. Skylar burst into laughter.

“Why didn’t you tell us you liked girls?!” Veneer asked in shock, avoiding your question.

“I didn’t know how you guys would react!”

“How?! I’m literally gay! I thought it was obvious!”

“Yeah! It’s so obvious!” Velvet chimed in.

“I mean- well yeah! But you never confirmed it!”

“I thought I didn’t have to!”

All while you and Veneer went back and forth, Skylar was dying. She thought this was the funniest thing ever. After Velvet decided that it’s gone on long enough, she cut you two off.

“So, you got a girlfriend now?” She asked.

You looked back at Skylar, silently asking if you did. She nodded enthusiastically, making you smile big.

“Yeah, I do!”

[ghostofbambifanfiction]

I just thought about what you said that Sirius and Skylar are similar in the way that they both have massive ego and they want to be the most important person in the (metaphorical) room. And I think that's true, but it's also interesting how differently it shows.

Sirius appears to be more secure in himself. He self reflects enough to know himself and to recognise this trait, and he doesn't shy away from asking for attention when he needs it, sometimes it comes across as rude but he is honest about it. He knows his place in the lives of people who are important to him, that he is loved, his opinion matters to them yet he doesn't really has the need to push his narrative when they don't necessarily follow his advice, he can step back when asked and despite his protectiveness over this small group of important people he can accept new ones too. I'm sure he loves attention from other people like fans of the podcast or many people he meets irl, but ultimately, he doesn't care so much and doesn't seem to let it bother him.

Skylar, on the other hand, seems to care more about the attention of "random" people. She likes to be the influencer online and offline. She is also confident in herself, her lifestyle, and her opinions, but therefore, she kind of thinks she can be this guru for people who didn't really needed and/or asked for it. Of course we only know her from James pov, but it got me thinking why did she fixate on him so much. He can't be the only one who was more interested in somebody else, or is this more about how open he is about his yearning for Lily while Skylar is not even on the same scale (because at this point his scale IS Lily)? Or is she in the dms of a few other people and leaves mysterious passive aggressive comments on their ig posts too?

Sorry this was too long, I had time and thoughts😅

Skylar fixated on James because he's hot, or she found him hot, so she offered him sex and he said no and she was fine with that because she's secure in how desirable she is to so many people... but at the same time, there was part of her that was like, what needs fixing in this guy? Because surely it can't be her, surely she has universal irresistable appeal, so he must have some sort of issue that she, Skylar, can help him fix. Sirius bored her almost instantly because he's obstinate and unyielding and rude. But the more she got to know James, the more she saw how easygoing he was, and how he was willing to try new things (like the acupuncture) and that's the kind of person she likes to have in her life. Pliable people. People she can mentor and shape. As I imagined her and her siblings, and how she was raised... she 100% grew up with parents who don't believe in telling their children no and freely allowed them to impose themselves upon other people since infancy. So that is what she knows. And while she is naturally inclined to truly care and to want to help people, when you take the previous successes she has had, combine them with her slavishly devoted, forever adoring online followers, and mix that with an already massively privileged existence, you get Skylar.

Chapter 14

Warnings: None

Copyright: I do not own any Marvel characters or locations. However, I do own a few OCs like Elizabeth, Katherine, Stacy, and Jessie. I do not condone any copying of this.

You were waiting nervously as Wanda, Pietro, Vision, Katherine, and Jessie made their way up to the door.

Not everyone was there. Clint was along with T'Challa, Thor, and Fury. But the others were all somewhere in the house. The only kid that was with you was Lucy, who was jumping up and down, unable to wait and see her Aunts and Uncles.

Clint welcomed them into the home with ease. It felt awkward, but maybe that was just you. Lucy excitedly jumped into Pietro's arms and he greeted her with a huge smile.

Skylar had grown up a lot. He looked like he might be even taller than Minerva, despite being a few months younger.

The twin boys named Tommy and Billy seemed much older than they should have been. Eight already? That couldn't be possible at all. Minerva and Skylar were only six and a half, almost seven. Lucy was just turning seven and a half. How were they eight?

You figured it had something to do with Wanda and Vision themselves, so you didn't say anything about it.

Katherine and Pietro had a little girl as well, who was four now and her name was Brittany. It was clearly Katherine's choice in the name and definitely not Pietros'.

Soon, Steve, Stephen, and Tony came down with the other kids. Minerva was on Tony's shoulders, while the rest of the kids except for Lloyd and Vera scampered down the steps to meet their Aunts and Uncles.

Steve meanwhile was holding Vera in one arm. Stephen was holding Lloyd in his arms.

You watched as Wanda's eyes swept over the kids before landing on Minerva on Tony's shoulders.

Minerva, of course, knew that these people were her soulmate parents, but she was still clinging to Tony like he was her protector. And really, in a way, he was.

Though Tony had put her down on her feet, she was hiding behind him, her small arms wrapped around his leg so that he couldn't move. She peered out at the others in front of her, before ducking behind his leg.

"Minerva?" Wanda asked uncertainly, bending down so that she could be on her level.

Minerva peeked out from behind Tony's leg again.

"I'm Wanda." Wanda said softly.

Minerva looked up at you. You just smiled, not wanting to tell her to do something one way or another.

Minerva looked back at Wanda. The others were suddenly consciously aware of the encounter and Fury and Clint were quick to take the other kids back to the living room where they could wait until Minerva had met her soulmate parents.

T'Challa also slipped out of the room, leaving Minerva with Pietro, Vision, Wanda, Jessie, and Katherine in front of her. Tony, Stephen, Steve, Lloyd, Vera, and yourself were behind her.

Minerva seemed to hold on even tighter to Tony's leg. "I don't know you."

Wanda's smile was sad and Pietro's looked almost guilty.

"I know sweetie, I'm sorry." Wanda said softly. "But if you want, we would all love to get to know you. Would you like that?"

Minerva looked scared, now that she had been asked a question. She kept looking upwards at you and Tony for comfort. Tony bent down, wrapping his arms around the little girl. "What do you think Minnie? You don't have to decide right now. They're going to be here for thirty whole days. You can get to know them over that time, of course. Hmm?"

"Okay." Minerva said softly. "Can I go and find Uncle Loki now? He wanted to read to me."

"Of course sweetheart." Tony said, letting her go.

"Bye!" Minerva said cheerfully to her Aunts and Uncles, and then scampered up the stairs to go and find Loki.

Wanda got up from where she was crouching down.

"Does she always spend time with Loki?" Pietro asked, his distrust about Loki being around his soulmate daughter apparent in his voice.

"If you actually cared about whether or not Loki was around her, you would have taken care of her from the start." You snapped, heading up the stairs.

"Y/N!" Wanda called in protest behind you.

But you didn't turn around.

This was going to be a torturous thirty days.

***

No more was said on the topic of them abandoning Minerva. Dinner wasn't as tense of an affair, as you had sat down at the end with Tony and Stephen with James and Temperance. The others had sat up near the front. Minerva was somewhere in the middle so that she was with the familiars, which were Loki and Thor at the moment, and those she was supposed to get to know, who was Vision and Wanda.

After dinner, Steve and you did the dishes, before you headed upstairs by yourself. You tucked in the boys, giving them kisses and hugs. You sung to them when they asked, and then you went to head over to the girls room.

Peeking in, you saw that they were all fast asleep, except for Minerva who was laying down in bed while Loki sat next to her.

Loki didn't notice you, the same poetry book that he had read to you before was in his lap now.

"You see this poem?" Loki asked quietly. "Can you read it aloud for me?"

Minerva looked at the words and then said slowly, "A family is like a circle; the connection never ends. That is a short poem!"

Loki chuckled. "It is short, isn't it? But you know what that means, right? It means that no matter where you go, who you talk to, who you spend time with. No matter what other people tell you, the only people that really matter in your life are your family. Family always sticks by you, no matter what. Family is the most important thing in your life, you find that out after a while."

"Like my Mommy." She said.

"Just like your mother." Loki said softly.

Minerva rolled over, snuggling into Loki's knee. "Did my mommy like poetry too?"

"She loved poetry." Loki said with a smile. "In fact, did you know she actually wrote a poem?"

"She did?" Minerva asked, looking up at him with big eyes. "What did she write?"

Loki smiled softly, before he opened up the book to the back and pulled out a sheet of notebook paper. "Your mommy gave me this. She knew how much I loved poetry so she wrote it and asked me to critique it. I think you should have it."

"Will you read it to me?" She asked.

"It's sad." Loki said.

"That's okay." Minerva said. "I get sad all the time when I realize I can't know my mommy. But then you tell me about her and I get happy. So please?"

You thought Loki might actually start to cry.

He licked his bottom lip, unfolding the piece of paper and read:

"Life is to short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right and forget about the ones who don't. And believe that everything happens for a reason... if you get a chance- take it; if it changes your life- let it; Nobody said that it would be easy... They just promised it would be worth it."

"Do you think I should go with Wanda?" Minerva asked as Loki folded the piece of paper back up and put it on her bedside table. He had long closed the poetry book and looked back over at her.

"I think. . ." Loki said softly, tucking her in completely. "That you should follow your heart. Everything happens for a reason, you just have to find it. Maybe that sounds overwhelming, but you'll see. Now go to sleep sweetheart."

You watched Loki turn off the light and then he came out of the bedroom.

"Hello my Queen." He whispered, kissing you on the lips while closing the bedroom door.

"Did she really write that?" You asked softly when Loki pulled back. "I didn't know she wrote poetry."

Loki smiled a little. "I'm always shocked to learn all the things Elizabeth could do. And she always said she didn't know how to do anything. Why do people always say they have no talents? Everyone always has hundreds of little talents up their sleeves."

"I have found it is very hard for people to say good things about themselves." You said softly. "Either because they don't believe they do, or because they don't want to come across as a bragger. But Tony doesn't have a problem with that."

"Tony has no talents." Loki smirked.

You hit him playfully in the arm. "Take that back."

He chuckled. "I'm just kidding my love. Of course he has skills. He did create all of his superhero outfits. And Vision. I just like messing with the metal man."

You smiled. "Thank you for reading to her. For watching over her. I know it can't be easy, since she's not your soulmate daughter."

Loki shrugged. "I know what it's like, being put second because your parents aren't yours. Odin and Frigga did try with me, but they couldn't help putting Thor first either. I don't want her to feel that."

You nodded. "I thought it might have something to do with that. But it doesn't lessen my thanks."

"Well, you're welcome." Loki said with a smile, dipping you again to kiss you. "Where are you going tonight?"

"Clint's." You answered. "He already asked me to spend the night with him tonight this morning, so yeah."

"I'll see you tomorrow then, if my luck proclaims it." Loki murmured across your lips again. "Have a pleasant night tonight Y/N."

"Goodnight Loki." You murmured, kissing him one last time before moving down the hallways to Clint's room.

Once inside, you stripped off your clothes, crawling into bed next to a sleepy Clint. "Love you Birdie." He said sleepily, leaning over to kiss you before pulling you close to him.

"Love you too trouble." You smiled, falling asleep in his embrace.

Josephine Anderson

♡ "Aww I'm really sorry about the blood, dolly, I just... I need to see you, can you come here please?" ♡

She's a silent delusional yandere, you won't hear a word out of her mouth as you hang out for months until one day she tries to kiss you and you realize she thinks you two are dating. It's so frustrating cause you've been together for months but haven't expressed any affection to her. She's fully aware you must be shy, but it's really hurting her. Not to worry, she'll make the first move, she just doesn't understand why you shoved her away. She doesn't enjoy this hard to get act. She should have a perfect life with her darling, one where she eliminates all the obstacles and you lavish her in affection for being such a good protector. She sees her love as the best form of love and so when she says she loves you then you should obviously know that means you shouldn't talk to anyone she disapproves of. She also won't tell you if you've crossed a boundary though since she thinks you should obviously know why she's killing that person.

♡ "It's Josephine but please don't call me that. I hate it when people call me that, I'd rather you call you Sophie or Soph instead." ♡

The Anderson family is a very prominent religious family within the region although they never come to the seaside anymore after discovering their eldest daughter decided to move to a small coastal town. Sophie faked her death when she was 17 to live with Skylar once she found out where her parents were sending the payments. She doesn't go by the Anderson name though she won't outright deny it being her last name if you ask but she really would prefer you never mention anything to do with her last name. It was a very gruesome fake death scene. No one outside of her sisters is aware that Sophie is alive.

♡ "21, I don't fully understand the point of these questions, dolly. If you want to know more you should ask Skylar, I'm sure she'd be glad to see her future sister-in-law." ♡

Sophie doesn't actually remember alot of their childhood, Skylar was the one who kept track of these things so if you really want to know anything about her then the best person to ask is the one who practically raised Sophie. Though be warned, Sophie might take this as accepting her proposal and thus she'll start to toss money at you to plan the wedding.

♡ "Stupid question, I'm only interested in you so get whatever weird idea you had out of your head." ♡

She's a lesbian, run of the mill for this blog though.

♡ "It's not something you should worry your head about, all I'll say is I'm good at my job and I make enough for us to be secure." ♡

She's not a permanent member of the syndicate but she occasionally picks up odd jobs that the official members don't wish to take on. She makes good money from it though it's dangerous work. She'd never allow it to be traced back to her though and the members already know better than to mess with her or her family since she's mostly tasked with killing traitors to the organization.

♡ "I like knives." ♡

She didn't feel the need to specify that she likes you since you should be smart enough to know that anyways. She likes her family and she likes knives, a simple gal, what can I say? She has a decent collection of them. She also really enjoys the idea of being domestic although like the other sisters, her idea of a perfect family with her darling is not normal. She really loves the idea of you waiting at home for her, possibly hanging out with her sisters, and greeting her with joy when she gets home from killing.

♡ "..." ♡

She is refraining from saying what she hates as she doesn't want to scare you, she may be delusional but she also realizes that at times she can be scary to people who aren't Skye. She hates a lot of things, she hates her parents, she hates dirt, she hates when you leave the house without inviting her to come with, she hates people who try to lie and tell you that her love for you is crazy, really there's just too much that she dislikes.

♡ "I'm good at organizing things. You also know, I'm very good at taking care of you, dolly." ♡

Her knife collection is meticulously organized despite her not being able to keep many other things clean, she's not dirty but she gets blood everywhere but if you opened her knives then you would assume that they had never been used based on how spotless they are. I suppose being that delusional is a bit of a skill too though.

♡ "Hmm? Oh no, you're not going back to your 'home' tonight. It's much safer for me to just keep you here. Would you like that doll? Would you like it if I just kept you safeguarded here? There's no need to deny it, I know you would, heh." ♡

Incident in the Ghostland (AO3 | Explicit) by @dreamscapingsblog

sorry for the notif my sweetest bestest friend, I know tumblr isn't your vibe but I can't have the opportunity to rec your works put in front of me and not JUMP at the chance to put Ghostland out there first and foremost!! Your prose is poetry, your angst makes my teeth hurt, and I will forever be in awe of how you capture such beautifully emotional motifs in the most unique and expressive ways. I'd put this whole fic in an art gallery if I could. Love you, love you, love your writing 💖💖💖

Let Me Be Your Valentine, Saint Valentine (AO3 | Teen) by @aallotarenunelma

Another beloved ID writer, but a MAH fic this time! I was tossing up between this and Indigo Blood because I adored the bond between Skylar and Saini (see how I'm cheating by linking both? 😈💞), but they way you told Donovan and Edelmina's story just brought me so much peace. I always loved their bond in canon over their shared grief, and seeing in here as this deeply vulnerable and trusting relationship just made my heart so happy (and it was really cool to read about Edelmina's aspecness)

The 2AM Christmas Tree Farm by @thosehallowedhalls

Listen I'm a fool for only having just caught up on CoP, because I have been missing out on all this goodness, and I just know I'm going to have so much fun making my way through the rest of your works, but holy hell what an introduction to your Emma and Trystan this was!! You can perhaps tell, from the absolute chaos that was my comment, that I rather enjoyed this one!! And with the way you write? I know I'm going to find some more gems to adore in your masterlist 😊

For a Good Time, Call (AO3 | Explicit) by ScarlettStorm

I gotta take a second to rec this, because it might be hands down my favourite fic of all time. The authorial voice is just ✨DIVINE✨, and it is just so deeply moving, I have no words. Its just so... healthy? Portrayal of sex and consent and sex work? Amazing. Attitudes towards trust and communication? Wonderful. Exploration of mental health, PTSD, panic attacks, ASD, inward growth as well as fostering something beautiful between the two romantic leads? Fan-freaking-tastic. Plus it also features lines such as

He wonders if Wei Ying would keep talking, even while being kissed. He thinks he probably would.

Its absolute ADHD meets Autism solidarity, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. (Plus, the smut is seriously god-tier.)

Oh, yeah! I was mean to rec one of my own!

Uhhh... Snow in Crimson, Starlight in Gold (AO3 | Explicit) is very much my baby, and every time someone tells me they liked it and/or my charactersation of Cas, Gabe, and Luca, I go ugly cry for ten years

But also! If you want something about a million times shorter, Whatever You Say, President Adalhard (AO3 | Explicit) is a wlw!Gas fic which is pretty cute. (and I'm trying so hard to finish chapter 2, I swear)

After breaking into the evidence storage and finding his gun, Jimin found the staircase leading upstairs to the main building. He ensured no one was close by while peeking through the door.

If he remembered correctly from the previous times he had been there, there should be a visitor's lavatory on ground level. And that close to the staircase.

However, he stopped in his tracks and pressed himself against the wall when hearing voices coming from a corridor further away, footsteps echoing on the linoleum ground shortly before dying down. He exhaled relieved and reached the lavatory. Already spotting the small window up high. Too high for normal people but not for him. It wasn't any porblem to climb up the stalls and bent enough to reach the small margin and open it. He could literally climb on anything like a monkey.

He crawled through it, the frame just wide enough for him to fit. And since it was ground level, it wasn't too difficult to jump down.

Unfortunately, none other than Agent Blake turned around the building's corner just in that moment. Stopping in her tracks when seeing Jimin. Both staring at each other bewildered.

"Park Jimin, you're under arr-"

Before she could even finish her sentence and draw out her gun, he had already rushed behind her. Holding her arms behind her back and spreading her legs with his, just in case she thought about kicking him where it hurt, making it impossible for her to move.

"Nah, nah, love," he smirked, making her scoff.

"I'm Agent Blake, for you."

"Say, Agent Blake, can't remember anyone else smelling so lovely like you. Is that parfume?"

Skylar's lips parted, that comment coming out of nowhere took her off-guard. "Wh-"

"Let me guess," Jimin chuckled then from behind, "You're into your little colleague, agent Jeon, right?"

She frowned about this random conclusion. "T-that'd be highly unprofessional," she defended herself, huffing loudly.

"Aw, c'mon, you can tell me.."

The woman pursed her lips, feeling her cheeks flushing. She breathed in deeply then. Gathering all her energy. "Agent in danger! Hel-!" Her mouth got quickly covered by one of his hands. "Shhh, don't be so mean," he whined, "You know you ain't in danger. Don't get me in trouble just because I'm exposing your crush on the little guy."

"He isn't a little guy," she mumbled against his hand, "He could beat your ass with no trouble."

Jimin laughed out at this, amused about him having hit a nerve. As always. Analysing people and finding out their weaknesses was part of the job after all. "Aw, sorry for offending your crush."

"He isn't my crush!"

He grinned, knowing she couldn't see him. "Whatever you say, love." Before she could retort anything else or attempt escaping, he pinched the spot between her neck and shoulder.

And Skylar instantly succumbed, her body subsiding in his arms. "She's heavier than she looks," he mumbled and carefully sat her down. Leaning her unconscious body against the wall.

He grabbed her phone out of her jacket then and started running to the parking lot. Breaking into one of the few cars when hearing sirens going off inside the building.

"Well, those were exactly ten minutes," he said, looking at his watch, "Punctual as always, pops. But I'm not dumb." He took the little tracker from the coat's pocket that Seokjin thought he hadn't noticed him placing there, crushing it with his heal and got inside. Hot-wiring the car to get the motor to jump start instantly.

He floored the gas pedal and left, rushing down the streets of Seoul to the direction of an old hideout. On the way, he planned to stop in an alley and leave the car, as the cops would easily find the car tag from security footage, and change into a different one.

While overtaking another car he took Skylar's phone out of the pocket and started scrolling through her contacts. Pressing on one of them. 

As the dial tone started ringing, he coughed. Preparing his voice while he waited for the other person to pick up.

"Hello? Skylar?"

"Jungkookie, please help me!" Jimin said panicked in Skylar's voice. Immitating her perfectly. Even adding a pleading tone, to make it more believable.

"S-Skylar? Where are you?"

"At the east side of the building. Please, hurry." And with that he hung up. Tossing the phone out of the window.

"Thank me later, love."

3 minutes earlier

"Is everything alright? How did this happen?"Jungkook was looking with worried eyes at his supervisor. "Did he fake the amnesia after all?"

Seokjin shook his head, rubbing his wrists that were finally freed from the handcuffs.

"Sir, I-"

"It's alright," Seokjin waved off the guard who had failed to notice Jimin. He brushed past him and headed upstairs, leaving the cellblocks.

"I don't think he faked the amnesia part," he answered Jungkook who was trailing behind him. "He said someone gave him a pill and messed with his mind, ordering him to eliminate Valentine."

"Makes sense.. he'd never do this on his own.." the younger agent mumbled, earning an arched brow from Seokjin. "I-I mean, for all we know it'd be quite atypical of him."

"True," the older guy nodded and headed to his desk.

"And did he say who it was? The one ordering him to eliminate Arabella?"

"He didn't say that."

Seokjin's short replies only rose more questions in Jungkook's head. And Seokjin could tell by the deep crease betweem Jungkook's brows. "But why do they want him to kill her?"

Pursing his lips, Seokjin had to suppress a chuckle. "Not sure. He only said she had been part of them."

Jungkook nodded, still not entirely satisfied. Rubbing his forehead, his eyes fell on the whiteboard next to their desks. "Who's 'owl inc'?"

Seokjin hummed, glancing up from the papers in front of him confused. "Never heard of it. Why?"

"Because someone wrote it here." Jungkook pointed with his finger on the bulletpoint on the bottom.

The older agent furrowed his brows, walking up to him. Jungkook's phone rang then and he excused himself as Seokjin bent down, to reread the notes on Jimin and his gang.

Arabella Valentine

-no known alias

-thief/spy

-age: unknown, ca. 25-30

-birthplace/nationality: unknown

-background: kidnapped at 5 by 'owl inc', past member

-associate to PJ his lover!

Someone had wiped out 'unknown' under background and had added new info. Alongside 'his lover' under associate. And Seokjin knew exactly who that someone had been.

But what or who was 'owl inc'? Were they the ones Jimin had been talking about?

He heard hurried footsteps coming closet then. "Sir, that was Agent Blake. It seems she's in trouble," Jungkook said flustered.

Seokjin frowned. "Okay, but be careful. Perhaps it wasn't the real Blake after all."

Jungkook's eyes widened, eventually understanding what he meant. It wouldn't be the first time Park Jimin perfectly immitated someone's voice, even a female one. So he nodded, promising to be careful before rushing out.

Seokjin watched him disappear behind the glass doors before focusing his attention back to the white board.

"Don?" he called out for one of the other few agents there. The man instantly perking up when hearing his name. "Call Jung Hoseok from the organised crime department tomorrow morning, I wanna ask him if he knows anything about this 'owl inc'." The agent nodded and noted it down, when Seokjin called out for him again. "And also get Kim Namjoon from special victims department here. We might need him, too."

In the meantime. Jungkook had exited the building and headed to its east side. Looking around frantically for any signs of his partner. His gun in his hand, just in case as he carefully roamed the area and turned around a corner.

Catching his breath when seeing an unconscious body against the wall. "Sky!"

Her head was bent towards one side, eyes closed.

He instantly put his gun back into its holster and rushed towards her, getting down on one knee beside her. She didn't seem to have any external injuries however that would explain her unconsciousness. He brushed some strands of hair away, trying taking her pulse by pressing two fingers on her arteria carotis. A long sigh of relief leaving his lips, when he could sense her pulse. Although a faint one. He knew he had to take her to the hospital immediately.

So he heaved her from the ground, holding her close as he walked her to his parked car.

"Hang in there a lil' bit more, Sky."

Havana, Cuba

Three knocks on the door. Silence. Another three followed.

"Yeah, yeah, coming," Taehyung yawned. Hair tousled and strands flying around as he cracked open the door. Seeing Jimin standing there with a wide smile. "Oh hey!"

Taehyung instantly reached for his gun, eyeing Jimin suspiciously. "Wowhoho," Jimin chuckled, shoving the gun away from his face, "Is this how you greet your best friend?"

"Obviously," Yoongi appeared behind Taehyung and brushed past him. Holding his sword in front of Jimin, just in case. "So you're back to normal now?"

"Yep, good old Jimin!" he grinned, pushing his fists against his waist and boasting out his chest proudly. Taehyung eyed him suspiciously up and down. He wanted to be entirely sure before eventually nodding, lowering his gun. Yoongi followed, slowly. Very slowly, allowing him to enter. 

"So you won't try killing us again?" Taehyung arched a brow with a lopsided smirk, making Jimin huff. "I've never tried killing you."

"True, it was Arabella you were after," Yoongi corrected nodding, taking a seat on the couch, "You only attacked us because we tried holding you back."

Jimin sighed at the faint memory. It seemed rather like the memory of a stranger by now than his own. He was only glad his friends had been sane enough to keep him from getting to Arabella. He had been right after all when he had told her back in Mexico that they might not like her but they wouldn't let anyone harm her either. "Speaking of Bella, where's she?" he asked then, facing the two with a questioning look as he couldn't spot her anywhere.

Taehyung frowned. "Didn't you call her?"

"I assumed she'd be with you guys.. Why? Where's she?"

"Last time we heard of her she was with some multi-millionaire on a greek island," Yoongi shrugged. Causing Jimin to let out a loud groan. "This woman.. I told her it's not safe on her own.." He shook his head, exhaling deeply. "And you guys just let her?"

"She's an adult," Taehyung rolled his eyes, plopping down next to Yoongi, "It's not like we could force her to stay."

He groaned again. Getting more and more frustrated. "You should have."

"Jimin, chill. You out of all people should knew how headstrong she is. And it's not like she isn't able defending herself."

Folding his arms, he pouted and sat down. He knew Taehyung was right but couldn't help worrying about her. These guys were still after her after all. Whether to get revenge for her leaving or to get revenge for him for not finishing the job and crossing their current mission. Besides, he was the only one who could protect her, not some stupid 'multi-millionaire'.

He scoffed internally at the thought of that. 

"What happened to you anyway, why were you after her?"

"It was these guys," Jimin mumbled. "They got me and I don't know.. brainwashed me? They gave me some mind control drug and conditioned me into only seeing her as a target. I had completely forgotten everything else. Partially even you guys. I mean, I knew you, but I had forgotten what you're to me. And I forgot what she is to me. The only thing on my mind was that 'I had to eliminate her'."

Yoongi scrunched his nose at his narration. "Sounds like you were their puppet."

"Kinda."

"And explains why you attacked us," he pointed out. "But you seem fine now. Are you fine?"

Jimin shrugged. "Guess so.. I got memory flashbacks in the cell pops locked me into. And eventually it all came back."

"About that.." Taehyung said awkwardly, rubbing his neck, "Sorry I set him on you. But it seemed the only save solution back then. You were out of your mind after all."

Jimin waved him off quickly, shaking his head. "Don't worry, I get it. And I had missed pops anyway," he chuckled then, "Poor guy looked so offended when I couldn't remember him anymore."

Maybe that was why he had given him those ten minutes to escape. He had looked quite happy when seeing Jimin had gained back his memory and remembered who Seokjin was.

They might be rivals, like cat and mouse, but they did have a mutual respect and sympathy for each other. And he was the only cop Jimin genuinely trusted.

"Alright, anyway," he exclaimed suddenly, clapping his hands enthusiastically. "New plan then! First we get Bella back, then we'll proceed with the original plan."

"The original plan?" Yoongi repeated, "You mean-"

"Yep. Following your idea and hopefully finding the treasure."

The older guy peeked at Taehyung who had been silently looking at his hands laying flat on his lap. Jimin frowned, eventually understanding. "Oh, look, Tae, if you prefer staying here with Cas, it's totally fine. I'd understand."

Taehyung pursed his lips, a troubled look on his face. Even if it had been only for merely two weeks, it had almost felt like the good old days. He always knew, however, that sooner or later he'd have to say goodbye to her again. Mentally preparing himself for that moment to come as it was lingering in the air from the beginning, ever since he let himself indulge and enter her life again. He was just glad it came later than expected. But still too soon.

"No, it's okay," he shook his head then and glanced at his friends. First at Jimin, then at Yoongi who was giving him a quiet glance of empathy. He had been there after all. He had seen him and Cassandra together and how happy he had been. "T-that's the life I've chosen after all. The only thing I'm good at," he smiled It was a sad one, they could tell. Sitting up straight then he forced his lips to grow wider. "And besides, I can't let you guys hanging. You'd be stranded without me. Well, at least you, Jimin. I know Yoongi can handle himself just fine."

Yoongi couldn't help but let out a small laugh at this as Jimin rolled his eyes.

"Fine. But don't use me as an excuse."

"I'm.. I'm not."

They grew quiet before Yoongi cleared his throat, changing topics. "When are we leaving?"

"I'll leave tomorrow to get Bella. You guys can follow later, in 2-3 days. Except if you already got other plans for these days." His glance wandered to Taehyung who shook his head quickly.

"N-no, that's fine." He stood up abrubtly and headed to the door. "2-3 days is enough to.. to bid her goodbye."

"Alright," Jimin nodded with a soft smile, "See you then."

Taehyung gave them a nod and left. 

Jimin facing Yoongi then with a grin. "Alright, how about we go ea-"

"Sorry, already got plans tonight."

His eyes widened. "What plans?"

Yoongi shrugged and just stared into nothing. And Jimin knew he didn't even need to try. He wouldn't get any info out of Yoongi. Not if he didn't want to.

"Hmph. I'm gonna look for food on my own then."

»»»

Taehyung knocked on Cassandra's door with a heavy heart. Unsure of how to break it to her that he was leaving her. Again.

Her reaction wasn't something that scared him. He knew how understanding she was. He knew how she respected his life. No, her possible reaction wasn't scaring him. Rather tearing him apart. Because even if she was more understanding than he deserved, she had never been good in hiding her feelings. Her pain. Her big brown eyes always giving her away, as much as she tried hiding it.

So when Cassandra opened the door, seeing him standing there slouching and with a troubled expression, her wide smile instantly dropped. And before his lips could even part, she sighed. Giving him a sad smile. "You've got to leave, right?"

He simply nodded, unable to utter a word.

"When?"

"In three days."

She inhaled deeply. A stern expression spreading on her features then and she stood straight. "Don't you dare disappear on me again. Got it?"

Taehyung's lips fell agape and blinked, taken aback. "Cas, you know it's better wh-"

"-when you just dip and disappear like I've never mattered to you?"

He pressed his lips together, an equally serious look in his eyes. "You know I don't wanna drag you into the mass that's my life."

"Not this again, Tae," she groaned, her voice breaking despite her trying sounding stern and upset, "You know I don't mind it." She took a step forward then, placing her hand on his cheek. Caressing his warm skin with her thumb as a smirk tucked on her lips. "You know how cool I find my super hot master thief boyfriend."

He couldn't help but laugh at this. Even now she managed making him laugh. Her hand dropped down to his. Intertwining their fingers.

"Jimin's the master thief, I'm just the gunman."

"That's even hotter."

He shook his head amused, chuckling at her nonsense. "Doesn't that go against everything you stand for though? You save people's life while I-"

"I know you well enough," she interrupted him with a frown, tugging lightly at his hand, "I know you'd never intentionally hurt anyone and only shoot if necessary, to defend yourself and others."

He remained silent, staring at her in awe.

He honestly didn't believe he deserved Cassandra. She was too good of a person for a jackass like him. She deserved better. And yet, there she was, always sticking with him. Despite him hurting her over and over again in the attempt of protecting her.

"So?" Cassandra arched a brow at him. "Promise you'll come back after the job's finished? Otherwise I'll hunt you down myself. I might not have all you guys' skills but I will track you down on my own if you dare vanishing into thin air again. You hear me, cool guy?"

A smile appeared on his lips and he nodded. Squeazing her hand before pulling her into his arms and embracing her tightly. "You make it hard for me to protect you, but yes, I promise, angel."

next chapter: 1.2 here

[vendetta-if]

Hello!

Just wanted to say the IF is amazing, i just spent 3 days straight binging it and loved every second. Please ignore if it has already been asked but what is all the RO's preferred genre of music? And favourite songs if they have any?

Keep up the amazing work!

Thank you for the kind words! And I just wanna say, your ask is the final push for me to actually scour through most of my songs on Spotify and finish assembling playlists for Rin, Santana, Skylar, and Jackal 😆 But I had so much fun doing so and I'll keep adding more and updating all of the characters' playlists as I discovered more new (and old lost) songs that fit them.

I have the links to their spotify playlist which contain a mix of their favorite songs and some songs whose lyrics fit them. I don't think I can link too much stuff in one post unfortunately, so I'll make a separate post to announce the rest of the characters playlists later on 😁But I'll try to link one song that either perfectly encapsulate their music taste or whose lyrics fit the character--or at least a song that they'd enjoy listening to.

Also, I basically have to split up my own music taste and favorite genres among all of my characters and I'm running out of genres 😭 But as for your question, I don't think I've answered something like that before--at least not in detail.

Sorry in advance for the long post (I just love being able to gush about my characters and music 🤭)

Ash

Ash enjoys quite a wide variety of genres, but mostly, their go-to are genres that are more energetic and/or aggressive. So, think like Rock, Phonk, Dubstep, Trap, Drum and Bass, Metal, that kind of stuff. But usually, they listen to songs whose vibes and/or lyrics kind of fit the mood they're in at the moment.

Also, fun fact, they did have some kind of an emo phase during their angsty and edgy teenage years 😂 It wasn't really too apparent (like no, they didn't have that typical emo hairstyle or wore those iconic eyeliners), but they just relate to quite a number of the lyrics of songs that can be considered to be emo anthems.

The song that fits the genre they like to listen to and the lyrics also matched their feelings and obsession love for MC is "So Sick" by Johnny Goth.

"So Sick" - Johnny Goth

Rin

As the child of a classically-trained musician, Rin mostly enjoys classical and instrumental music. One of their favorite instruments is the piano and they used to enjoy learning to play it. Maybe in the future, when they won't be so busy anymore, they can pick up their piano lessen again...

Also, they tend to gravitate towards more soothing and calming songs in general because of the headaches they usually got after using their power too much or to see to far into the future. So most of their playlist is filled with instrumental songs, either piano, cello, or violin, or a combination of those.

As for the song that fits them, I'd say "The Belt of Faith" by Jung Jaeil kinda fits their vibe and the gravitas they carry (Yes, the main soundtrack for the film "Parasite" and yeah, I can see the irony 😂 )

"The Belt of Faith" - Jung Jaeil

Santana

Santana loves that tinge of old-school songs that they were often exposed to whenever their parents listen to in the radio. So, the genres they enjoy are synthwave and retrowave songs 😎

As for the song that encapsulates their favorite genre and whose lyrics fit them quite well is "Gloria" by The Midnight.

"Gloria" - The Midnight

Skylar

Skylar is a pretty chill and upbeat person who loves and enjoys nature, so their favorite genres include those upbeat summer music and Indie/Alternative Folk music. They also enjoy the occasional pop songs.

As for the song that fits their vibe and desire to just fly off and be free is "Get Away" by Surfclub.

"Get Away" - Surfclub

BONUS

Luka

Luka enjoys Electronic music, including Phonk, Post-Punk, and Alternative/Indie. So, yeah, quite a variety of genres. But for one song that fits him the most, from the lyrics to even the title itself is "Everything Black" by Unlike Pluto 😆

"Everything Black" - Unlike Pluto (feat. Mike Taylor)

Jackal

Just like Luka, he also enjoys Electronic music, especially Phonk. But unlike Luka, he sometimes loves Hip-Hop music as well. One of the few songs that kinda encapsulate both of those genres and fits with his personality is "Heartless" by UNAVERAGE GANG.

Before He Cheats | A Duff Mckagan x Reader Fanfiction • Chapter 1

A03Link<3

Word count: 2104

Summary: Duff had a crush on you for years. He always wanted to be your boyfriend but you're dating Slash. Slash is cheating on you with Claire and you have no idea. This takes place in the early 2000s.

A/N: I'm sorry if the first chapter is pretty shitty. I'm trying to get the hang off things because it's been a long time since I wrote a multiple chapter story. Yes, I know that Duff, Slash, left in 1996 or 1997 and Izzy and Steven left the band but I don't care, it's a fanfiction.

At the carnival, Duff's P.O.V

It was 3:00 PM, it was sunny day. It was a great day, a great day to go the carnival that is. I was at the carnival with Izzy, Slash, (Y/N) and Skylar. Axl and Steven were working at their jobs. I was wearing a black shirt that had slightly long sleeves, some navy blue jeans and converse shoes. Everyone else was dressing casual. Skylar is one of my friends, we have been friends since we both work at the same job since my highschool days and (Y/N) is also one of my longtime friends. We have been best friends since highschool. (Y/N) is always nice, happy and gets along with everyone while Skylar is a more honest, serious and upfront. Even though, she's always serious, she loves to hang with us.

Izzy was eating blue cotton candy, Slash and Skylar both got face paint done on their faces and me and (Y/N) were trying to figure out what should we do next. "I want that big teddy bear!" She yelled as she pointed at the teddy bear. Oh, I forgot that she likes stuffed animals. The teddy bear is big and it's sitting on the countertop. We both walked up to the counter. She was about the grab the teddy bear until the guy from behind the counter took it before she even grab it. "If you want this bear, you're gonna have to earn it... by winning." The guy behind the counter explained. He was holding the teddy bear.

All she had to do was throw some balls at those fuzzy animals things and she will get the teddy bear.... and I don't think he's going to get the teddy bear. She missed every single one, she only got one down. "Sorry. You didn't win the prize. Better luck next time." The guy told her. "Great." She said sarcastically. She seemed fine that she didn't win the prize but I want to get it for her. "Let me do it for you." I said. She looked at me with a slight grin on her face. I walked up to the counter and gave the guy a few bucks.

I did miss alot but I managed to take all of them down. Alright, there's the last one. This is going to be easy... if I have more balls on me. I had only one ball left. "It's fine if you don't get it, Duff." She said to me. I didn't want to let her down or look like a idiot in front of her or everyone. I threw the ball really fast and it hit it. I was shocked when the ball hit it. I wasn't expecting that, it was just pure luck. Woo! I knocked them all down! I'm proud of myself. "Here's your prize!" The guy gave the prize to me. I was holding the teddy bear and man, it was pretty heavy for a teddy bear. I gave the teddy bear to (Y/N), she was holding it with both hands. She was happy. "Thanks, Duff." She said, happily. Seeing her happy like this is like a warm feeling in my heart. "You're welcome." I said to her.

_____

We were all walking together in a group. Izzy was holding (Y/N)'s teddy bear, Slash and (Y/N) were walking next to each other while talking and me and Skylar were doing the same thing Slash and (Y/N) were doing. "This thing is pretty heavy for a teddy bear." Izzy complained. "It's not that heavy. You're being overdramatic." Skylar said to Izzy, sarcastically. All Izzy did was rolled his eyes and kept moving. "Everybody, look!" Skylar shouted and pointed at something. We turned our heads to see what is it. And there I saw it, the tunnel of love. It looked so pink and pretty. Oh, how I would love to go to the tunnel of love with (Y/N). It would be so romantic. We were walking fast to the tunnel of love. "Slash, let's go to the tunnel of love." (Y/N) held his hand and smiled.

"Alright. If you say so." He said. They both walked to the tunnel of love and sat in one of the seats. But I can't go with her. She's obviously going to with Slash, he's her boyfriend. "Duff, can we go to the tunnel of love?" Skylar asked me. I looked at her, she looked pretty mad. It's like she was forcing me to go with her or something. "Sure." I replied.

We both sat down on one of the moving seats. I was on the right and Skylar was on the left side. We were behind Slash and (Y/N). I wanted to go the tunnel of love with (Y/N), not Skylar. Well, going to the tunnel of love with Skylar won't be so bad.

It was going at the right pace, not too fast, not too slow, just right. There was flowers, hearts and cupids on the wall. It looked really pretty.

"Duff, what's the matter?" Skylar asked me. I wasn't okay, I felt tired. "I'm fine, Skylar. No need to worry." I said. "I'm happy to be here with you." She said with a smile. I wasn't feeling it, but as long as she's happy, I'm happy. I could hear Slash and (Y/N) talking and laughing. It was kinda pissing me off. She hold onto my arm and stared at me. I stared at her back, nervously. "Yeah, I am too." I smiled a bit at her, lying to her face. I turned my head a little to see what were (Y/N) and Slash doing "I love you, (Y/N)." Slash kissed her forehead and (Y/N) rest her head on his shoulder. "Duff..." She said softly as she look into my eyes. She was leaning in with her lips puckered and her eyes closed. She was leaning in for a kiss. Wait, Skylar likes me more than friend? I don't want to be kiss by her. What do I do? It was getting darker. It was pitch black. I couldn't see anything anymore. Then I had an idea, I made it look like fell in the water by slowly leaning my body backwards in to water. It wasn't pitch black anymore. "Duff?" She yelled.

I immediately went back up to the surface. I was soaking wet, there was water in my eyes. It wasn't worth it going in the water. "I-I'm okay!" I yelled so that she could hear me. The others also heard me. I looked at her. "I just fell in the water." I said. I looked up ahead and realized that we were at the end of the ride. I'm an idiot, I should of waited a bit longer.

I was out the water. My hair was wet, my clothes was wet, everything was soaking in water. I was squeezing

Slash walked up to me and gave me a medium sized white towel. I put the towel over my head so it can dry my hair. "Really Duff?" Slash was pretty mad at me. "I know, Slash. I'm an idiot." I replied. He hit me on the arm lightly as a joke.

At (Y/N)'s house, Duff's P.O.V

I decided to walk over to (Y/N)'s house with them because my house was pretty far from hers and her house is the closest to the carnival. I was still pretty wet and cold so I was wearing a jacket, with my arms crossed. My hair was still pretty wet too. Me and (Y/N) were standing at the front of her house. Slash was in the house, doing something. (Y/N) was still holding the giant teddy bear. "Thanks again for helping me get this giant stuffed animal, Duff." She thanked me. She really loved that stuffed animal. "No problem." I said to her. I put my hand on her shoulder and stared at her. She stared at me. She's so pretty. I tried to lean in closer to her but she back away from me a little. "I guess I will see you later." She said nervously. I put my hands in my pockets. What were you thinking, Duff? You idiot. She has a boyfriend. She set the teddy bear on her living room couch and went back to the door to close it. Before she closed the door, she said. "Bye, Duff." She waved at me. "Bye." I said to (Y/N).

She shut the door.

The next day

(Y/N)'s P.O.V

It was morning, it was bright, sunny day. I was in the kitchen making breakfast for myself. Slash said that he wasn't hungry which is weird. He always eats whatever I cook him.

I walked over the bedroom door while

I was holding my breakfast plate. I opened the door with my other hand and went back to holding the plate with both of my hands.

Slash was laying on the queen size bed, on his back. Slash was laughing while he was on his phone. He was smiling too. "Who are you talking to you, Slash?" I asked him, I was curious. "Axl." He said. He got up from the bed and went to the closet. I walked over to the bed and set my plate down on the bed.

"Do you want to watch a movie with me? Maybe we can cuddle." I asked him. He got his work clothes from the closet. "No, (Y/N). I can't. I got to go to work today." He told me as he was putting on his work clothes. "Oh yeah, I forgot." I said as I took my socks off and lay on the bed. Slash walled to the door. "I'll be back in a couple of hours." Slash walked to the door. He opened the door and he had his hand on the doorknob. "See you later." I said. Slash shut the door. Now, I'm all by myself, alone. I guess I should watch some TV while I eat my breakfast.

Slash's P.O.V

I was in the mall, waiting for Claire to find me and to come to me. I wasn't going to work, I didn't had work today. I wanted to hang out with my girlfriend, Claire. We have seeing each other for about 7 months now. Where is she? I have been waiting for 10 minutes. The mall isn't that big. There's she is, Claire. She looks so stunning, so pretty. Claire was walking to me. "Hey baby." I waved at her. She was next to me. I held her by the waist, pulling her closer to me. "When will you break up with her?" Claire asked me. I'm getting tired of her asking me that. "Soon, I'm waiting for the right moment." I kissed her on the lips. I broke up the kiss. "You keep on saying that." She's getting a bit angry. "I know that, honey." I sighed. "Can we go to the park? I wanna feed the ducks." She asked me. Why the duck park in particular? "Sure." I said. I hold her hand and started walking with her to the duck park.

Steven's P.O.V

I was walking from work. I was about to walk to my car and drive back home but I saw Slash and (Y/N) from a distance. They were at the duck park, feeding the ducks. I might as well walk up to them and see what they're doing.

I finally got to the duck park. I was watching them from behind. There was a duck standing next to... huh? The girl wasn't (Y/N), it was someone else. "Why is this duck following me?" The girl said. "It's because you fed it too much bread." Slash said.

"Hey Slash. I didn't expect to see you here." I said as they both turned around and saw me. The ducks were quacking in the background. It was annoying. I looked at the girl. I have never seen her before. "Who is she?" I asked him. "She's...." He stopped her sentence for a bit. He looked pretty nervous. "She's a friend of mine." He said nervously. A friend? I never seen her before. She is very pretty.

"Is (Y/N) at home?" I asked him. I haven't seen her in a bit. "Yeah, she's watching some show or something." He said. "Okay. Well, I'll see you later." I walked away from them.

Beatrice Booth - cool in a crisis. Obviously, my heart is BREAKING for Lily and I actually cried for her when she couldn't. But I also feel sorry for Remus who only tries to help and ends up in very uncomfortable situations for it. But still, Bea, who is usually so insecure stepping up and directing the people around her to help her friend get away when she needed to was AWESOME!

Yes thank you! She is grown and maturing and really committing to being a loyal and true friend to the ones she loved most, and there is nobody she loves more than Lily (aside from her baby sister, but Mimi isn't suffering from any romantic crises in this fic so that's a moot point). Just for this lovely message, please enjoy a snippet from chapter 42!

Lily Evans: Honestly, do whatever works.

Beatrice Booth: Good, because THEN I told him all the shit that went down with Severus lying to you and gatekeeping you from your mates for literal years and how it always seems to be your male friends who deceive you It was some of my best work, if I do say so myself Plus, none of it was even a lie

Lily Evans: And he bought it?

Beatrice Booth: Yeah he did

Lily Evans: I mean he SHOULD, it's not a lie, I AM hurt because James thinks I'm a judgemental tattling cow.

Beatrice Booth: Exactly, and Remus doesn't need to know the other part Nobody does

Lily Evans: Truly you are the master. And he wasn't mad at you for telling me about Skylar?

Beatrice Booth: No, because he knows I don't play when it comes to you Like full offence but maybe if James didn't want you to know he shouldn't have called Remus when he knew I'd probably be with him and screamed it down the fucking phone Also lol I'm the one keeping his dick wet so like, why is he gonna be mad?

Lily Evans: Thank you, you're the best person in the world and I'll love you forever.

Beatrice Booth: Likewise likewise mon chéri

SPOILER - I wanna talk about the GOOD and the BAD! Let’s start off with the good: Casey and Derek were true to their characters and I loved that Derek matured, like it’s still him but he’s grown now and he’s a good father! Second, Dasey acted like a married couple! Sorry Case, but I’m so glad she’s having marriage troubles with her husband Peter. I liked Simons character, he’s a bit like Derek, he’s goofy, friendly, and has a good heart. The bathroom scene! Casey secretly wanted to take a bath with Derek. It’s not mentioned directly in the movie, but I think it’s safe to say Casey DID go to Queens and ditched dancing in New York because she talks about the first year at Queens with Derek. That bugged me about VWD. Now for the bad, Derek dropped out of his first year of college, what! Dasey never happened in college? I’m the #1 Dasey in College fan so this felt like if someone poured pickle juice on me and then slapped me and then threw a tomato at me. Sorry, but on my rewatches I skipped the Skylar and Luca scenes. I understand why Marti, Lizzie, and Edwin weren’t in the movie, but still, I wanted to see them so bad. And Emily. I liked Simon but I wish he didn’t exist, for Dasey reasons. Derek being a musician that lives in Paris isn’t OOC, but it’s also not what me or a lot of people expected. I wanted famous hockey player Derek, dammit! Derek and Casey having kids at a young age IS OOC to me, but it’s whatever. Life happens. I didn’t like how Casey and Derek spent years apart. One is a lawyer and the other is a musician who’s always on tour so it makes sense, but it’s fiction so make it happen anyways! That’s all I can think of right now, but even with the bad, I still thought it was a pretty good movie! I have a feeling the follow up movie or series is going to be even better. Anyways, what’s your good or bad?

OH BOY. my good and bad.

My Good: The characterizations were everything I hoped for. Everyone was so in-character for the situations that they were in. I LOVED Simon. He wasn't what I was expecting but I really really enjoyed him. I also VERY MUCH liked the new kids. Was Luca kind of a jerk? Yes, but I knew WHY and so I'm looking forward to seeing him grow. Molly and Kai were the cutest things I've ever seen and I loved them. Skyler has the potential to be super annoying and instead I adored her.

I also super liked the aesthetic of it and the way they did the spliced screens. I just liked the look of it.

The Bads: Nora and George's plot annoyed me but thankfully their scenes were short enough I could deal with it (although I probably will skip them on my rewatch). I missed the kids as much as everyone did, but remain hopeful.

My main issue with it is: I think they were really mean to Derek and Casey in order to get them to where they are now.

So, before I'm a Dasey shipper, I'm a Derek Venturi stan and a member of the Casey McDonald defense squad. As long as they are happy, I am willing to give the plotline a lot of slack.

But Derek and Casey? They aren't happy. One of them is lonely and afraid, and the other is miserable and overwhelmed.

I'm going to have to do another post just about my take on Derek Venturi, and another one for the McDonald family, but tldr: Derek and Skyler need family and connection, and the McDonalds need breathing room. They've set it up so that these two families need each other and I really hope we get the chance to see them work together... Because my babies are so so sad without each other. And I'm not talking as a shipper or because I think they should bone. They just work better as a team, and I hate that they tore them apart for so long.

What are your thoughts on the City of Angels performances?

I just stumbled upon the ones I saved in my playlist and wow, the Mr Roboto mashup, as well as I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For are stellar imo

I thought they were alright!

I haven't watched that episode in a long, long time - and it'll be a while before I get there in the retrospective. So, I probably won't watch them any time soon.

My issue with the competition episodes is that after a while they all began to run together and sound somewhat generic. They're mostly just... songs, and don't necessarily tie into the story. (Yes - I know CoA was tied to Finn) I think most of them are fine as stand alone performances that are enjoyable because you like the music. But I can't say that I love them much on a deeper level. *shrugs*

Cause you're asking my opinion and I have a hard time not being honest -- I'm not a big fan of the Mr. Roboto/Counting Stars mash up. First of all, it's not a mash up - it's a medley with only two songs, so I'm not quite sure what that makes it. Secondly, I just don't like the song Mr. Roboto - sorry :/. Thirdly, I'm sure Skylar Austin did fine with it - just not my cup of tea overall.

The New Directions performances were fine. And while I do like those particular songs, I feel like the competition episodes, in general, just feel really tired at this point in the show.

That all said - I'm glad you enjoy them!! Just because my opinion differs doesn't take away the value they have for you! <3

[unnamedrosegarden]

AN / okay guys I have no idea where I'm going with this and how should I continue it or should I continue it at all. I'm just posting some drafs from the story so it might be changed later on.😀 It even doesn't have a name since I wanted to post it as soon as possible before I change my mind. Also, as you can see english is not my first language and I would love some help from you ❤️

___________________

Skylar loved her job very much, but sometimes it can get a little hectic, especially before New Year's. So, it was a great idea to take some time off in November and visit Italy. Skylar didn't feel like she was famous, but in Paris she got a lot of attention, and those 7.8 million Instagram followers found her interesting. 

<.....>

Well, there weren't any specific reasons why she wanted to visit Sorrento. "Sorrento is particularly enjoyable in November with the cooler temperatures and no crowds." This sentence was enough for her to hop on the first plane there. She got this little, cute apartment for herself. The apartment wasn't luxurious, but the view from the window was. A little balcony with a sea view was all she needed; also, the bottle of wine sounds like a good idea. The host of the property was a very nice old man; he even fixed one of his old bikes for Skylar so she could explore the city as much as she wanted. After unpacking her things, Skylar wasn't much interested in exploring the city, but she really wanted to explore the nearest shop and see what kind of wines it has to offer.

As Skylar was minding her own business, riding a bike, and dreaming about the best cheese and wine, some crazy ass driver almost crashed into her in his brand new Ferrari. Skylar was fuming because all the driver did was give a little sorry wave and drive away. It looks like he was in a hurry. After 7 minutes, Skylar finally reached her destination. Still mad and scared from the earlier collision, she finally calmed down when she grabbed her favorite cheese and grapes, and when she was almost to reach the wine section, she got hit with a shopping trolley. It made all the grapes she picked go in different directions. The man helped her stand up.

"I'm so sorry; let me help you pick these up." He said this as he was trying to catch grapes from the ground.

Skylar was confused, and as she was about to say, "It's okay; don't worry," she realized it was the same man who almost crashed into her with his Ferrari. Same black hair, same green eyes, and same charming smile.

"Dude, you're such an asshole, you should look where you're going," she said, almost yelling at him.

"I'm sorry, okay. I'm just" yup, he didn't get a chance to finish his sentence.

"You just what? First you almost crash me with your car, and now you just drive this trolley into me like it's some fucking race to you" - As she started walking away, she felt a hand on her wrist, and she was facing the green eyes again.

"Look, racing is my work and hobby, so it's hard to get out of character sometimes," he said with the biggest smile on his face.

"Umm, okay dude, it looks like you're horrible at your job and hobby; maybe you should try something else because otherwise you will end up in jail."

He just laughed.

"Can I take you to dinner? I would love to prove you I'm not that horrible."

"Umm, I'm not sure if I should go out with the man who almost crashed me not once but twice. I even don't know your name... " she said and tried to hide her smile. Somehow, this man made her mad but gave her butterflies at the same time.

"I'm Charles" he said and realized that the girl infront of him has no idea who he is.
