Remember that episode where Rue (before she becomes Kraehe) has to dance with the Wili Maiden to save Mytho? Sometimes I still want a rematch but this time it is Rue as Kraehe vs the Wili Maiden

Hey there- I need some help. I'm one of the RAs at my college and I have two residents who are constantly bickering. One of them is a total stoner type who's never seen the inside of a gym and the other is a stereotypical dumb jock bro. They don't see eye to eye on anything and its been driving me crazy. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to resolve their issues. I was thinking of using the merge feature or something on them but wanted your thoughts
Shit, RA is a really shitty job! Kudos to you for taking it on. And if there's anything I can do to make your life more comfortable, I'm happy to do it. Merge is definitely a good idea in this case. Being a bit more sporty is certainly not bad for the stoner. And for the gym addict, it's certainly not a bad thing to become addicted to something else.
The two of them are in the kitchen arguing again. The jock wants to cook his chicken breasts and rice. The stoner wants to heat up a frozen pizza. Both are constantly getting in each other's way. And then the jock's buzz cut starts to change. His hair doesn't grow. It's growing. And becomes matted. The two of them have a first-class dreadlocks look. At the top of the head. The sides and neck of the jock remain shaved. And the stoner also gets an almost military-correct haircut on the sides, only on the sides. His fluffy beard also looks freshly trimmed. And the jock's facial features, chiseled as if from granite, are covered by a scratchy beard shadow. The cooking dispute is settled. They both cook chicken with rice. The stoner's scrawny neck grows bigger and bigger. Until both have a neck that is almost wider than their heads. The pale, unhealthy color of the stoner's face begins to match that of the jock. In return, the jock's skin begins to change color with tattoos similar to those already adorning the stoner.
The stoner's scrawny body begins to bloat. He makes his pectoral muscles dance. The jock does a chest bump with him and makes his pecs dance in equal measure. It looks like a ballet.
"Dude, do another joint before dinner?" asks the jock. The stoner grins and takes a freshly rolled joint out of his dented cigarette case. "Sure thing, dude!"
Tumblr media
The rice burns. The smoke detector in the kitchen sounds the alarm. The two of them are sitting on the bed in the jock's dorm room, stoned out of their minds and giggling. Shit, it's the same with these two every time. Maybe you'll find yourself another pedantic nerd and merge the two with that one.

6. What's the first thing you notice about people?
Hairstyles, tattoos and piercings, general vibe and style.

I have a good memory (especially for useless facts), i’m good at maths and can do it pretty quickly

Oh god the ADHD is real cause i have so many. The ones that have lasted the most are drawing, reading, crocheting and gaming, lately i’ve been listening to critical role campaign 3 and I’m hoping to find a group to play dnd with, i’ve also learned how to play piano, guitar and ukulele but I haven’t played in sooo long :(
12. Do you have any pets?
Not currently unfortunately, i did have a cat until 16 that my sister found back in ‘95 who was called Michelangelo cause he was found in a street named after michelangelo buonarroti (he died at 21 that old fat fucker i love him so much)
13. How tall are you?
161cm. I’m short (in high school some people called me a hobbit cause i have big feet but i’m short)
14. Favorite subject in school?
Biology and math by a mile but also literature, didn’t matter which language i loved all of them (italian, english and latin). I’m actually getting a masters in molecular biology and my backup plan was studying math so yeah big nerd alert
15. Dream job?
Researcher, not sure of the field yet though. Currently I’m doing my thesis in microbiology (phage therapy to cure antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections), but genetics is something i’d also like

Smells a lot because he's running around in the dirt most of the time
An actual sweetheart, like jump in front of a bus to save a random stranger levels of sweet
Indulges in a little bit of B&E, as he likes to crash at one of his sister's penthouses that happens to be in the same town

"Welcome once again to Press Bea, picking up with Joy Traveler, part 5, and things have been...weird. We had Box Baby 2 and learned more about the Spanunkos and I haven't gone any further.. yet. It's tempting but I want to plumb the mysteries of this machine with my hive by my side! No I'm not scared!"

Syrupentine: ...Golf. DueyDecimal: God has forsaken us. snug_buggler: guys we can leave til the boring is over. why u hate us bea?
"Remember what this game did to soccer? And cooking? And other sports? Cooking is a sport you can't tell me otherwise"

❣︎ ➝ A/n:them with a fem reader who does different hobbies tried a new layout for this bc there is so many characters (my favs) and there is no group/theme the layout is inspired by different blogs i saw but i forgot their name (◞‸◟) this layout is not permanent! ill probs only use it for posts like these this is also kind of rushed maybe this is also slight rant… anyways ignore grammar/spelling mistakes requests open as always enjoy ⁽˙³˙⁾
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
❣︎ ➝shoto todoroki who meets you one day at the ice rink he normally goes there to help train the fire side of his quirk. as he’s walking through the doors he sees you on the ice its an early morning so he didnt expect anyone let alone you to be there he had seen you a few times at ua huh? nonetheless you look breathtaking your in your skirted leotard all shiny and he just sees you all of your spins and twirls on the ice you had did this particularly elegant upright spin one leg being held above your head your back slightly arched.you were out of breath panting slightly then you finally noticed another presence you started to look around for whatever was giving you this eerie feeling then your met with a pair of gray and teal eyes staring at you.
“you have very nice legs”
okay who is this guy and why is being such a flipping creep!
“uhm thank you…do i know you?”
“right im shoto todoroki and i go to ua too can you teach me to be a little more flexible like you”
“uh sure just dont expect me to go easy on you”
❣︎ ➝izuku midoriya who notices in training how easily you can pull back from a fight to get a breather or how you can spin and dodge attcks! its kind of like his dodge moves! maybe you thought he was so admirable you took notes from him too! so obviously he has to question you on who’s agency you went to because he has never seen a fighting style like that!he doesn’t want to overwhelm you though so he tries to keep his ranting to a minimum! even if you tell its fine and he can rant to you
“i saw you out there training today and uhm i was wondering how did you learn all of those dodge moves?”
“oh well i actually did some tumbling but mainly ballet wich is why im able to!”
“oh wow!”
thats so smart why didnt he think of that! you were able to spin and dodge because you did ballet! well after a while of teaching him some moves for dodging you guys became friends then started dating he goes to everyone of your plays and shows!
❣︎ ➝katsuki bakugou who notices you in ua you were in lunch yelling some guys head off for whatever reason he just knew you were pissed then all of a sudden it had broke out into a fight and you were…winning? holy shit you were! the guy seemed like no match for you but he guesses it was the other way around once you had started beating that guy up there was a decent sized crowd around you,he assumed mr.aizawa was on the way soon but after the guy was on the floor you lifted one of your fists up it looked like you barely had a single scratch the crowd broke into cheers all around! until mr.aizawa showed up to take you to the principal nezu’s office it seems like you werent new there! thats the first time he saw you and definitely wouldnt be the last.the next time he saw was a saturday afternoon at his favorite boxing place he saw you in the ring you had won once again gloved hand in the sky mouth guard in place,you were widely smiling,your eyes looked batshit crazy maybe thats what peeked his interest in you and why he wanted to talk to you in class the next day.
“oi nerd dont i know you from somewhere?”
“we go to the same classes so i would assume you knew me you idiot”
“not what i meant smartass,i meant i saw you in the ring last saturday”
“you saw my win?”
“hell yeah”
Since that day you guys became an unstoppable duo both of you guys being fierce hotheads and thats what he loved the most about you.
❣︎ ➝ejirou kirishima who originally meets you through katsuki not because your friends.. more like cooking enemies? you and katsuki had a cook off both of you making a spicy curry to see who’s was the best of course! and the only person able to handle the spice of the dishes was kiri! anyone else would have burnt their damn tounge off! he was sitting at the common room table both bowls of curry siting in front of him the both smelt heavenly! you and katsuki were standing before him and there was some sort of tension in the air.
“so.. what am i doing here?”kiri asked
“you’re here because you’re deciding on whos curry is best! and plus you’re the only one who can take the heat”you informed.
“what nerd said”
He tasted both and they were so good but he knew he had to choose one.
“uhm the one on the right”
“yes!!”
holy crap! your cooking was better then katsukis! well ever since that day when you and katsuki have cook offs he is your test subject he gets free food and a drama show two wins for one! but of course kiri has to befriend you because no one has ever beaten katsuki’s cooking like that!
❣︎ ➝denki kaminari who notices you during the ua festival your running all around the school a lanyard with a camera adorned around your neck,he assumed your taking pictures for the schools news about the festival! hes listend to your podcast,read some of your papers,even looked at the adds for upcoming events! he only wnated to be well rounded and informed about the school right? well you were very admirable weren’t you? you always had the most interesting talks on the podcast,the eye catching pictures for the schools website he definitely had to talk to you so he could put up an add for his classes band performance that way he can get even more people to come the adds you made were so fun and noticeable anyways and thats just what they needed!
“hey uhm you’re y/n right? you make all those adds and stuff”
“sure do! can i help you with something?”
“yeah actually i need some posters for my classes band performance can you please help me make some?”
“of course!”
he found out your personality was just as bubbly and upbeat as your works! he really enjoyed them he found out.
❣︎ ➝hitoshi shinso who finds you during winter on instagram weird he knows but you seems to have the same personality as him calm, lazy, and you like cats from all the pictures you posted on your stupid page! some were black, calico, orange even white he assumed they were all strays but everytime you posted them they had a little hat on or maybe even a little vest where on earth did you find sweaters for these poor cats? and where were you finding all the cats?! so he of course he had to swipe up on your most recent story it was a black cat with an pumpkin on his sweater.
i’m_hitoshi “where do u find all the strays&sweaters”
its_y/n “i find them at the local cafe thats like 10 mins from ua i make the sweaters😌”
im_hitoshi “u make them?”
its_y/n “yep i crochet them🙂‍↕️”
well know he had to meet you he saw you in ua sure but you never really talked to anyone.you guys soon talked though sometimes about work sometimes cats or whatever you were crocheting. it was nice to meet someone who was quite and wasnt always up in his bubble and someone who wasnt scared of his quirk.
❣︎ ➝hanta sero has seen you around ua! you’ve beaten him a few times in training and your personality was always super calm and laid back he really did like you! and wanted to get to know you more he doesnt know why you were just so captivating maybe it was the laid back personality,maybe it was the way you smelled like sea salt and flowers,maybe it was the way you were so relaxing. well he has been sulking around for some time so the bakusqaud insisted that he come to the beach with him to take his mind off things the ocean always calmed him down! him and his friends had arrived at the beach he was in his teal swimming trunks flamingos with different accessories plasted all over them he looked towards the ocean only to see a big wave and someone surfing it? it was…you? it really was you! your feet were planted sternly on the board,your hair was wet and slightly weighed down on your shoulders,and you were wearing a teal triangle bikini flamingos all over it! you guys had to be soulmates he thought! suddenly you were down with the wave and started swimming back out to shore to sit on your board for a while.you were sitting there a sandwich in your hands drink,chips and fruits to the side.when the sound of the sand crunching broke the sounds of the waves.
“hey! uh im hanta sero i dont know if you know me but we both go to ua”
“of course i know you! come sit”and patted the empty space on your board he found out it was really easy to conversate with you! you offered him some of your food and even talked about how you guys were matching corny bathing suits! safe to say you guys ended up captivating each other.
❣︎ ➝tamaki amajiki who meets you through nejire if anything he wouldnt have talked to you at all! he had seen you a few times sure! but you were intimidating and bold.he found out through nejire that you were on the debate team no wonder you were so bold and fierce! he admired you for some time now they way you could easily be around people,talk on the news when you had captured a villian he really liked you and your ways! it was sealed though when one day nejire asked him to go with her to one of your debates claiming she saw the way he looked at you and maybe you guys could get closer! well he did go only you see you and you looked amazing your at some podium with others and another school on the other side he didn’t even remember what it was about just that you were a master at your craft and ua’s school won the event.nejire eneded up giving him a little push to talk to you though!
“uhm im tamaki amajiki”
“duh! i know who you are silly! but im y/n i saw you hanging out with mirio and nejire!” you had continued to ramble on about how you knew him and his friends you were intimidating sure but you were also very easygoing and bubbly.good thing opposites attract.
❣︎ ➝mina ashido who is friends with everyone in school! and she doesnt plan to change that with you! she started talking to you,you were just as bold and easygoing as she was! considering you were friends with everyone too! she saw you around school you guys talked about random things mainly gossip or schoolwork but you guys got along very well! she was in her dorm on her phone scrolling through her insta feed then a nail account had popped up and it looked like you did them you did nails that was so cool! why didnt you tell her?! she had to text you right away one to interrogate you and two to get her nails done!
thebaddiemina67 “GIRL WHY DIDNT U TELL ME U DID NAILS?!? 😠”

❣︎ ➝kyouka jirou who was in the kitchen one evening making a cup of momos tea the kettle on stove boiling, she quickly reached into the cabinets to grab her favorite mug, it was surrounded by other beautiful mugs some had a floral print on them, bows ,cats, just all around random prints! when did we get so many mugs she thought none the less she grabbed her mug and poured the hot water into the glass with the tea bag,thats when the doors to the dorms opened and you were there you had on a white apron with some clay stains on your hand were slightly muddy and you were holding a brand new project in your hands!
“jirou just the girl i wanted to see! i made you something…” you held out your hands a mug with little purple guitars on it and a little circular cd tray
“what are these for?”
“oh uhm the mug i made because you didnt have many and the cd is a place you can put your guitar picks i hope you like them”
“thanks thats really thoughtful of you!” every now and then she would receive little tokens off appreciation from you some being mugs,pots,etc no matter what she cherished them.
❣︎ ➝ochaco uraraka who noticed that everyday you came back to the dorm you had some sort of apron on and dirt all over it so after a while she asked you what was up with that only you find out you had a small garden walks away from here! how cool so on a random sunny saturday she came with you to the garden inside where all types of fruits and veggies! well it became a routine for you guys to walk there and chat about class,then you would take care of whatever plants were in season,you would clean up and head back to the dorms a simple routine really! but you enjoyed her joyful presence,but you didnt miss the way she stare down the strawberries i mean they were ripe right? it was the day after you guys had done your normal routine so sunday,you walked into the dorms and uraraka was in the kitchen looking in the fridge for something or maybe she was just rummaging around for a snack! who knows well you had gotten her a little gift anyways.
“hey uraraka! i brought you something”
“hey y/n! what is it you know i hate when you spend money on me”
“well lucky for you i spent no money on this!”you handed her the small container of strawberries
“strawberries? but you growing these all season..i cant these”

We Won the Raffle(s)!!
We arrived promptly at 8:30am at the Phnom Penh airport and were second and third in line through immigration.  Unfortunately, the smallish South Asian woman in front of us `must have been on the international most wanted list because her entrance took forever.  As is always my curse, I’m a terrible line picker.  Grocery, bank, pharmacy doesn’t matter how strategic I think I’m being, I’m always in the long line.  Finally after about twenty minutes the surly looking immigration officer completes her fingerprinting and lets her through. Lisa and I together go to the surly immigration officer. He shoos me back in line.  “One at a time.”   Lisa, not on the international most wanted list gets through, but not before she is fingerprinted.  Surly man waves me to come over.  I show him my passport and get my hands ready for fingerprinting and surly man looks at me like I’m crazy.  “No fingerprinting!” He hands me my passport and I am good to go.  It pays to look like there’s no way this bespectacled nerd could possibly be an international criminal (unlike my beautiful bride who, obviously, exudes suspicion according to one surly Cambodian immigration official).
Now the challenge is to find our driver, Pho Bang.  There’s supposed to be a guy with a sign saying “Davis” named Pho Bang, but there’s not.  I get approached by several other drivers looking for their rides only to disappoint them.  Where is our Pho Bang?  At last my What’s App goes off and it’s him.  He has no sign and not where all the other drivers are, but that’s ok.  We found him and then off we go to our hotel, Raffles Hotel Le Royal. Pho did have this sign in the back seat of the van.
Tumblr media
About that drive.  Cars, trucks, bicycles, tuk-tuks (for the uninitiated, a motor bike that is connected to a buggy), and motorbikes, millions of motorbikes, all weaving in and out. Traffic signs are meaningless.  One way street? Only for some. Stop lights? Why bother, no one would  notice. Lane stripes? Nothing more than street art.  Then, of course, Pho wants to have a conversation.  I was so tired I would normally have fallen asleep, but I couldn’t because I wanted to see whether we were going to hit or get hit by a car, bus, truck, motorbike, or tuk-tuk. Pho speaks English.  Well, sort of. Almost all signs we see are in Khmer and English.  In fact, most people in Phnom Penh speak English, except that it’s what I call Khmer-glish..  It is English but with the hardest to understand accent.  Pho spoke the purest Khmer-glish (meaning you have to listen so hard, it’s exhausting).  After traveling for 20 hours straight, you don’t want to have to try to decipher Khmer-glish.  Pho is very nice though and he offers us guided tours while we’re in Phnom Penh (we think that’s what he said), which was a quick ot-tei (Khmer for no thanks).  He is scheduled to be our driver on the way back to the airport, we would see him then but no time in between.  Nope couldn’t do it. Foreshadowing:  Pho would be a lifesaver later on.
Through the chaotic yet surprisingly graceful vehicle ballet that is traffic in Phnom Penh, we arrived at Raffles Hotel Le Royal.  
Tumblr media
In fairly understandable Khmer-glish  we are met by the many staff with “Mr. And Mrs. Davis welcome to Raffles” hands clasped together just below the chin and a slight bow topped with a huge smile.  
Tumblr media
Please have a seat on the couch.”  Seat on the couch?  I know it’s only 10am but when I booked they promised our room would be ready and we are barely able to keep our eyes open.  What’s with this?  I inquire, Is our room not ready?  The response, Oh yes of course, but first we’d like to get to know you and to show you maps and things to see and do in Phnom Penh. Two concierges sit next to us in the lobby, check us in while sitting in the lobby and talking to us about what to do in Phnom Penh.  Very lovely, but can we go to our room? There’s a very comfortable bed waiting for us.  After about 20 minutes, we are allowed to go to our room where we are met by the bellman dressed in traditional Cambodian clothes (ironically, he speaks the best English of all of them), tip him and luxuriate in our beautiful French colonial bedroom with a view of the magnificent twin pools.  
Tumblr media
The storied Raffles Hotel Le Royal has had quite a few celebrity guests including Charlie Chaplin, Somerset Maugham, Charles de Gaulle, Jackie Kennedy, Joe Biden, and of course, now Lisa and Bennett. Jackie Kennedy seems to have made the biggest impression.  The Elephant Bar, the hotel’s classy cocktail lounge made a drink in her honor when she came in 1967, the Femme Fatale.  They even kept the glass she drank it out of having never washed it (gross!!) and keep it displayed in the hallway.  
Tumblr media
Her photograph is ubiquitous throughout the hotel. I especially found this one with the King of Cambodia intriguing.  
Tumblr media
I mean, you’d think that maybe riding in an open air Lincoln might not be such a great idea.  Hey, Jackie, does “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me” ring a bell?
Our trip has begun in earnest. We will stay at the Raffles for 3 nights and I can tell you this.  If you ever find yourself in Phnom Penh, splurge and stay at Raffles. Actually, you don’t have to splurge because Cambodia is so damn cheap!

Brighter to my eyes 5
Tumblr media
Summary: Leo is good at reading people, it's what makes him a good strategist, but those blue hues of hers elude his sharp intuition.
Perhaps if they didn't he'd realize he didn't have to change himself for her to see him like he wants her to.
A.N. I wrote this fanfic over an idea of Rise! Leo using a cloacking brooch to hide his true self but it evolved into something way bigger, this fic will takes place in ROTTMNT after "Newsworthy" but April is 18 starting college instead of in High School, while the MC and Raph are 17, the twins 16 and Mikey 15.
Pairing: Rise! Leo x OC, Leo x Reader
Warnings: Angst, FLUFF, Sibling shenanigans, MC is a nerd, but a mean nerd in leather.
PREV • MASTERLIST • NEXT
Befriending the turtles, even when it had only been a couple of weeks since, kept Vic on her toes, and she wasn’t even the slightest bit troubled about it, she appreciated the break in her routine.
After the party, and a quickly stopped by his brothers attempt from Leo to create a portal to a hidden city, Vic exchanged phone numbers with all of them, saving them under her nicknames for each one.
That night it was hard to sleep at all.
Victoire had lived her whole life under specific routines, with a spotlight placed on the top of her head and eyes watching her every move, a poise, and elegance uncommon to such a young girl, but she was always rewarded with the approval of her mother when someone took notice.
She was used to it, to her life being public, to her schedule being filled, in fact, her extracurriculars had all been her own choice for the most part. She’d been a hyperactive kid, one day she wanted to learn ballet, and the next month she wanted to learn how to play an instrument, her parents had simply given her what she asked for.
So, it wasn’t like she hated it or anything, the pressure from her parents and everyone judging her, from her peers to people she didn’t know at all had followed her entire life, so no, despite how it sounded, she didn’t mind, and to her advantage, most people thought her lack of expression made her alluring, interesting, mysterious, whatever. At first, she was inexpressive because she was taught to be, but since high school started it was mostly just that life had become dull.
Nothing she did was enough, her extracurriculars didn’t interest her, she just completed them because she had to and the people surrounding her were boring for the most part, which of course, she would never divulge.
She did have good friends, close friends she loved dearly, people who cared about her and not just what they thought she was, but once college started, she hadn’t seen them much, they’d been busy, and she’d been busy.
She’d been very busy.
Therefore, she was always excited for Halloween, maybe it was what was ingrained in her brain from a young age, but hosting parties was a gift of hers that she enjoyed; a skill aside from art that she was willing to put all her energy into, best of all, her annual Halloween party was a party with only people she actually liked.
This one had been more interesting than she had expected, even if she had almost died.
It had been exhilarating.
She hadn’t lied when she told her new friends that the situation she’d just been placed in was the most exciting thing that had happened to her, and of course, something like that would be, even if ignoring the crazy ‘mutants are a thing, magical powers too and your new friends are giant turtles’ deal.
Firstly, her new friends were already fun to be around, April from the beginning had been genuine, with a driving energy that she felt compelled to. Vic could have given her the phone back, apologized for bumping into her, and left.
But she didn’t and Vic was glad she didn’t because April was easy to talk to.
She had been so easy to talk to, in fact, that her regular persona had slipped into a tangent talking about her interests, but when she noticed and was about to stop April encouraged her to continue.
What to April was simple curiosity had made Vic secretly happy, and their talk was so pleasant Vic couldn’t help but want to adopt her into her group of friends.
Then the turtles.
Mikey’s fear of the haunted house had been a source of entertainment as much as it had made her feel like he was an adorable ball of bubbly excitement that needed protection.
Donnie’s excitement about the tech that had been used in the refurbishing and decoration of the place stroked her ego in all the right ways, she had looked everywhere for something that would make the attraction exciting and his happy describing and questions for where she got those things had made her feel appreciated.
Raph had been by far the nicest of the group, he was so gentle despite his size, like he was always so conscious about how much space he took, how loud his voice could be, and how impressive his strength, he treated people with care, and Vic could respect that, it endeared him to her immediately.
Leo was easy to explain, the moment he took interest in her costume she was already excited to talk, in an ambiance filled with friends, on one of her best days of the year, she didn’t hold as many inhibitions already, but Leo matched her energy in an instant, their conversation flowed like they’d known each other for a long time, like they were friends who hadn’t seen each other in a while and had to catch up with everything.
He wasn’t just trying to get along with her either, the more he relaxed, the more Vic noticed his sassy attitude, making jokes when she preferred a sidekick he disliked and eyes sparkling when she asked him about one of his favorites.
Even when their conversation topic changed their opinions were similar and received with jokes when different, the differences were easily overlooked, and the similarities were over things she considered important.
He made her feel understood at that time, and at the end of the night, he made her feel safe.
The extreme excitement from meeting mutant turtles, being kidnapped by a psychic hippo, plus everything else that happened that night kept her up.
And kept her grinning when the turtles and April added her to a group chat with them in the morning.
-
Only a couple of days after Halloween, in between explaining a project of his to her, Donnie and Mikey invited Vic to hang out at a junkyard, Donnie was looking for extra pieces for his project and Mikey was going with him. Vic was about to offer to just get Donnie what he needed when she stopped her fingers from pressing ‘enter’ on her phone.
She decided instead that spending time with them looking for parts would be more entertaining for everyone than just handing the things over, so she erased the message and agreed to go.
Mikey answered with a sticker giggling as he walked to his room, receiving a suspicious look from Leo who saw him in passing.
-
“Man, junkyards are goldmines~!” Donnie said as the metallic arms from his battle shell started rummaging through the back of a car he’d opened up, a pineapple-shaped air freshener appeared in his hands and he sniffed it “Who needs real pineapples when you got one of these babies?”
Vic looked curiously at what his metal arms were doing, still fascinated with how they moved and worked when Mikey gasped behind her.
Mikey yelled and pointed up “Donnie, Donnie, Donnie!” When Vic saw what he was pointing out her eyes opened wide and she started poking Donnie’s shoulder and yelling along with Mikey “I really think we should-“
“Ah, fuzzy nerd dice!” Donnie spoke, oblivious to their panic.
“Donnie!” Both Vic and Mikey yelled as a giant magnet was about to drop a car on top of them, Mikey grabbed her and Donnie both, pulling them out of the danger just as the car was dropped.
They all fell down the tower of cars they had been standing on with ‘oof’s’ and ‘Ow’s’ until they crashed on the seats of a car at the bottom, Victoire was seeing stars, but she was also just thinking that she should have seen it coming when following the guys up the vehicles in the first place.
“Mikey, next time, I would appreciate a heads-up.” Donnie looked at his brother disapprovingly.
“Okay, heads up!” Mikey said and took hold of the rearview mirror, twisting it for the three to see a wrecker pulling a car behind them.
Vic, recovering quickly from the panic of the fall before leaned forwards to see better, her eyes open wide “Is that?”
Donnie gasped “It is!”
Mikey continued with stars in his eyes “The Jupiter Jim Moon Buggy!”
“Feature in not one, not two, but SIXTY sequels of Jupiter Jim’s LAST trip to the moon! Ah hah!” Donnie exclaimed excitedly.
“We MUST have it!” Victoire grinned as the wrecker let’s go of the buggy harshly “Just imagine us rolling around in that beauty!”
“How could anyone let that historical gem slip through their fingers?”
“I do not know Michael, but Vee is right, we’ve got to have it.”
They all snuck around to get closer “But how are we going to get that car? We can’t go and talk to one of those human people”
“Ah but Angelo, you forget we have someone who can!” Donnie stated signaling to Vic who smiled and gave Mikey a thumbs up when suddenly the car they were hidden behind was lifted and they stumbled to the floor, a giant mantis with an old fashioned haircut looked at the with the car in his grasp.
“Who the heck are youse?” He asked.
“Oh no a mutant! Wait, we’re mutants too, it’s okay” Donnie said and the three sat straight on the floor.
“Dude, you better hide, there’s a mutant guy around here” Mikey said and Vic looked at him funny.
“Easy easy” The mantis said throwing the car behind “This is Repo Mantis Salvage. The guy is me.
“This is your lot?” Mikey leaps up, clasps his hands together in a begging motion. “You have to sell us that moon buggy! Please! Ah!”
Donnie grabs Mikey’s shell and pulls him back “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Cool your scramjets, buddy.” He whispers looking back to Repo for a moment “This is a negotiation. We gotta play it smooth.
They put on sunglasses, a pair of metal arms put another pair on Vic’s face and she immediately starts playing her part, cool and collected switch turned on.
Mikey walks along the side of the buggy, running his fingers along it. Donnie, trails a finger along the other side and then rubs his fingers together before leaning back against a tire “So, uh, how much are you gonna pay us to take this pile of parts off your hands, amigo?”
Repo rolls his eyes “Scram. I got a lot of fenders to count.”
Donnie continues unaffected “I see you drive a hard bargain, sir. Well perhaps I can interest you in a little coin” Donnie pulls out his wallet and Vic reaches back for her own wallet when a metal arm stops her, she raises an eyebrow questioningly but Donnie finishes his offer with an “I can make it rain copper, daddy.” While dropping a handful of pennies, It’s hard to keep a straight face after that.
“Hey, you ain’t got nearly enough, but say, I could use a couple of rough muties like you. Ever do any repo work?” Repo asks and Mikey reacts immediately.
“Of course! No” He lowers his sunglasses “What’s repo work?”
“It’s when you take stuff back from deadbeats who didn’t pay for it. Do a job for me today, and I’ll let you have that moon boogy thing.” He explains pointing at the buggy, and Mikey immediately agrees before being grabbed back by Vic.
“Angelo, No offense dear, but repo mean have to be real though to get the job done” Vic said and Donnie nodded.
“And I don’t know if you know this, but you’re kind of a softie.” The purple turtle finished and Mikey clasped his hands together.
“That really hurts my feelings!” he paused “Oh, you have a point. But I can do this, hard as nails, grr.” He growled and turned back to Repo “We’re in, what’s the skinny chico?”
-
After getting the job from Repo, they were walking through the woods trying to find the guy he described, Vic felt her phone vibrating and pulled it out to check the messages, they were all from Leo who was asking if she was free.
She thought Mikey and Donnie would have told him she was hanging out with them.
“I ran a profile on this guy” Donnie interrupted her thoughts a light from his shell illuminated their way “Lawless loner, doesn’t pay his bills, lives in the very spooky forest. He is a ninety-eight percent match for the spine breaking bandit!”
“Spine breaking bandit? Really?” Vic asked Donnie with a deadpan “You guys do know I could have bought the buggy, right?”
“Ah but Vicky, this is an adventure that will be rewarded after our hard work! Together the three of us!” Mikey explained happily.
“I must agree with Mikey on this one, what could be a better way to strengthen new bonds than a perilous quest for a dream car?” Donnie spoke, not removing his eyes from his wrist, Vic chuckled, right after that a loud noise came from in front of them and Donnie leaned over pushing both Mikey and Vic down behind a bush.
Their eyes were wide in surprise before Mikey turned serious “I’m not scared of some no-good forest dweller, let’s see him! There’s his RV!” Mikey pointed parting the bush slightly to see.
A creature with big teeth slipped out slightly from the door of the RV and made a freaky noise, they all scrambled back with panicked noises “That’s the biggest forest dweller I’ve ever seen!”
“He is totally gonna break our spines. Maybe we should call Raph and Leo.” As soon as Donnie said this Vic pulled out her phone again, which she hadn’t responded to and already had a whole bunch of texts from Leo.
Mikey grabbed both her wrist and Donnie’s as he was already typing “No, no, no, no, no! We got this. Think of all the boss adventures we could have in the moon buggy!”
“Can’t we have them with Leo and Raph too?” Vic asked, feeling her phone vibrate on her hand
“If we call them they could call off the whole thing and then it won’t be OUR thing” Mikey told her giving her a big pair of puppy eyes she couldn’t deny.
“Ah, all right” Donnie answered “If you’re dead-set on doing this, we gotta go stealth.” Vic felt goosebumps and got the impression there was something behind them “Sneak-jitsu 101: never let a spine-breaker get behind you.” Just as he said that and Vic turned around a light flashed from behind.
They all screamed loudly rushing over the way the RV was and stumbling over each other “NO, HE’S BEHIND US! HE’S DIRECTLY BEHIND US” they screamed hearing barks and rushing over to the inside of the RV where they were immediately received with more loud barks from dogs glaring at them from the shadows “AAAAHHH” they kept rushing out of the RV and crashed into each other falling down on something.
When they turned around the forest dweller was looking at them and they were blinded by a light, adjusting their eyesight they all found a mutant capibara smiling at them with a puppy that looked anything but dangerous on his arms.
“Hey I’m Todd! Welcome to Cuddle Cakes Puppy Rescue, the puppy-est place on earth!”
-
Vic was enjoying her lemonade in the back of the RV while Todd was talking about the puppies and when they would give birth.
Her attention once again went to her phone, which, yikes…she’d told Leo she was busy and she’d ‘brb’ but totally forgot while they helped Todd with the puppy sanctuary…That had been a couple days ago.
 Now he was calling, she hoped he wasn’t too worried.
“Hello—”
“ARE YOU OKAY? WHERE ARE YOU?”
“Hey! Don’t worry, everything’s fine!” She tried to reassure him quickly, getting a glance from Mikey “I’m sorry I didn’t answer, Donnie, Mikey and I got busy helping this guy and his puppies, their little cute faces had me so entranced I forgot I hadn’t messaged you back”
“Oh, so you- wait, wait, wait, back step a bit, you’re with Donnie and Mikey?”
“Yeah! We went out to the junkyard for stuff and one thing led to another, I thought they told you and Raph where we were going”
“Oh yeah! Pshh, I probably forgot about it, y’know I was so busy”
“Oh, what did you do?”
“Uh, right, you know, a ninja like me has to keep his—”
“No, stop! No.” Donnie spoke from the pilot seat closing the window on Todd.
“Uh yeah! Well gotta go! Super busy, you know, just wanted to make sure you were Ok, and you are! So buh-bye Vee!” The call was cut and Vic shrugged at Leo’s strange reaction.
“Hard as nails” Mikey and Donnie said from the front of the car as they drove off.
Donnie’s wrist screen got a notification and he glanced curiously before grimacing and ignoring it as the notifications kept coming from his twin, favoring the road instead.
-
After they took the RV back to Repo it turned out he wasn’t an honorable mutant at all, cue the shock, and he was going to use the buggy to get money from nerds.
Knowing that they were rightfully the new owners of the buggy, Donnie, Mikey and Vic got on it and rushed out of the place.
A hot pursuit later in which Vic and Mikey got a bit too excited pressing the buttons on the control panel, and after frying the mantis, they finally reached the lair with the buggy whooping in excitement.
“Oh yeah baby! One moon buggy all to ourselves!” Mikey said jumping out of it.
“Oh hoh hoh, I can’t wait to put on some real work on it, it’s going to be a beauty!” Donnie said rubbing his arms along the side of the car when an ‘ahem’ caught his attention.
Raph was looking at them with an eyebrow raised from the door of the garage, Mikey and Donnie chuckled nervously and Vic waved at him “Hey Raph!”
Leo walked in just a moment later popping his head in behind Raph “Oh, Vic you’re here? Have you been here long, I totally didn’t notice, was too busy training, you know?”
“Leo, look look at what we got!” Vic was too excited to show Leo the buggy, she didn’t question the way he was acting, Leo’s eyes finally fell on the buggy and they widened
“NO. WAY.”
“Oh yes way baby!” Mikey exclaimed pointing at the buggy
“So, had fun junk yard diving I see?” Raph said with a glimmer in his eyes, forgetting that he was going to question how long they were out.
“Oh you bet big bro! Admire, our most recent acquisition, Jupiter Jim’s last trip to the moon buggy! Here live right in front of you thanks to team R.A.D.” Donnie stated proudly before Leo snorted.
“Wouldn’t you be team D.M.V.?” He smirked and it was Vic’s turn to gasp.
“Well, then the DMV are leaving with their buggy sir, good day!” She exaggerated reaching out to the pilot’s seat when Raph stopped her
“Alright, hold on, you guys have been out way too long, don’t think we’re done talking about this” He turned to glare at Mikey and Donnie who whistled inconspicuously, acting like they were cleaning up something in the buggy, Raph, turned back to Vic with a more softened look “You’re parents are probably worried, I heard you weren’t picking up your phone?” Leo paled slightly behind Raph and suddenly all his attention was on his nails.
Vic made a dismissing motion at Raph with her hands “Oh, I don’t live with my parents anymore, I’ve got an apartment close to school, so don’t worry about it”
“Whaaaat? You do?” Mikey and Leo spoke at the same time with Donnie in the background looking for something on his phone.
Vic nodded at them “Soooo, with that out of the way, are you guys going to give me a tour of the lair?” Leo grinned at her question and offered a hand out for her to step down the buggy.
“What kind of hosts would we be if we didn’t? Right this way m’lady!”
Vic was used to a certain routine, even after she moved out.
She was so glad that routine had been broken.

AL question: is george gonna get any more powerful? i found it a bit odd that so many people could block out his telepathy despite him being a level IV psychic, and ig with dream i understand bc of ~dnf~ reasons. but so many other characters can too??? it could also just be because he's had like zero training but idk. also i just think it'd be pretty badass if george was like mega-powerful, but that'd kinda ruin the whole plot lmao. OOH ALSO [cue rant] i had always wondered: why are psychics so feared in this world???? can't most only just levitate shit and maybe slightly be able to read people's minds???? but then you mentioned something about george flying and i got confused, so i did a ton of research (bc im a nerd), specifically about telekinesis/telepathy, and i found out that THEY ARE SO FUCKING COOL????? HELLO?????? i found this like whole wiki page about telekinesis (i totally recommend you check it out it's awesome) and let me tell you, i was FLABBERGASTED. LIKE HOLY SHIT???? GEORGE COULD POTENTIALLY WARP REALITY OR BECOME FUCKING IMMORTAL IF HE WANTED TO, IS THAT NOT THE COOLEST?????? now ofc, i have no idea how powerful you're gonna make george, and this not me trying to convince you to change your story. obviously you're the author here, i'm merely just an excited reader. BUT HOLY SHIT TELEKINESIS IS NOT TO BE FUCKED WITH (and neither is george for that matter). anyways yea, i hope you enjoyed my massive rant. i usually only get this excited abt stuff when i'm blown away by its quality, so keep up that amazing work! <3
I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED ANON
The answer is a resounding: YES! It's not so much that he's going to get more powerful but that he's going to gain more control of his abilities. The whole thing about superpowers is often that even if someone might have a lot of power, it doesn't necessarily mean they can channel it. The more power you have, the harder it is to use in a stable manner. Think of it in terms of skill. More skill means you apply it to more things and in different ways—ballet at a beginners level isn't an intensive as professional ballet, etc. Type I Psychics only levitate things, and that's basically it for more Psychics. And if you think about it, you're right. They're not as dangerous as they're made out to be, but ultimately, discrimination doesn't necessarily revolve around logic. Throughout history, humans have outcasted groups of people for reasons that make no sense all solely to have a power dynamic that makes them most powerful. Essentially, it boils down to human psychology, but before I go off, I'll just let the story speak for itself because there will be a lot more of that in Elysium :] I'm a huge psychology nerd aha!
And in terms of the superhero wikia (and the many variants) which I know what you're talking about since it is where I go to for all my superpower info needs, I've been using it since I started this universe back when I was like 15 lmaooo! I LOVE IT!!! I can't say that all the powers are the same because a lot of times it boils down to adaptation. The EM universe doesn't portray as crazy as some of the powers in the wiki, but it's a great source to use when looking for inspiration on how to come up with what kind of powers you want to incorporate into the world, etc. It makes me so happy to you took the time to look into it! I am a HUGE superhero nerd! X-men, Teen Titans, MCU, Arrowverse, DCU shows—I've had hyperfixations everywhere so I just kind of bundled up all my knowledge into a Thanos-level glove to use when I can for the EM universe because it's my baby. Though if I were to compare it, I'd fall most closely related to the X-men because they dealt with a lot of discrimination-based things that to young me was FASCINATING. It's why this universe basically revolves around it since human nature has always been the most fascinating thing to me. Man, I love psychology. Anyway, sorry for the rant, you got me very excited.
Super pumped to share the first chapter of Elysium on December 24th!!! Thank you for the ask and for making me smile and giggle so hard so early in the morning haha! <3

lysander whiteford, son of the white queen and the white knight: he/him (ftm). gay. sad boy. sad, rich boy vibes. makes everyone think he believes he’s above them, but he is so insecure about everything. he wants to be the next white queen (king) more than anything. doesn’t like his mother or his father, but loves his twin lilly. he pretends to be a pompous jerk to everyone, and it pains him to act that way, but it’s the only way he knows how to talk to others. younger twin. royal.

So You Want to Spin the World Around Ch3
At dawn, Max is woken up when the sunlight streams through the blinds of the window in his office. He is still sitting on the floor but his head is being supported by him leaning against his crossed arms in the chair next to the one Liz is in. She has a binder in her lap and at some point curled up with her long legs dangling over the arm of her chair. Her burgundy dress has ridden up scandalously high exposing way more skin than she probably means to. Max briefly wonders what type of panties she is wearing. Her dress has almost ridden up high enough for him to tell. Her long black hair is cascading back across the chair Max is leaning against so that it is in his face. They have Chinese takeout strewn about that area of the office and binders with hot pink sticky notes stuck in them.
Their shift doesn’t start for 3hrs so Max wipes the drool from his mouth and gently shakes Liz once. “Liz! Hey, we fell asleep.” He whispers, running his hand down her arm gently to wake her. Her tan skin is so soft and goosebumps erupt under his fingers. He definitely has a morning wood situation going on and her hair hanging so close to his face that he can smell it doesn’t help things.
Liz looks around trying to place where she is and then sees Max. “Oh no. Did we…?” She swings her legs around to sit properly in the chair and smooths her skirt down from where it has risen up. She doesn’t feel sore like that is how she spent the night but here they are together again. She is feeling deja vu. The binder in her lap slides off and hits the floor and she realizes they fell asleep going through case reports.
“No. No.” Max holds his hands up at the idea. “We were working on those reports and must have fallen asleep. Do you want some coffee? I’m going to go make some.”
Max discreetly shifts his erection, avoiding her eyes and smoothes out his messy hair before going in search of coffee. Liz must have fallen back asleep while he was gone because she wakes up to him standing in between her thighs calling her name. She can vividly remember what it was like to have him in between her thighs, one hand cupping her ass to tilt her hips up so he could lick and nibble at her better while the other played with her nipple. More than once. Max Evans is a very giving man.
Flushing red at her thoughts, she whispers thanks and takes the cup of coffee he brought her.
“Cream? Sugar? I can go get you whatever you need.” Their eyes lock and a weird sizzling energy passes between them. Max clears his throat trying to get his bearings back. He’s going to have to figure out how to work with this woman without constantly thinking about what she felt like underneath him or he is going to go crazy. Or get fired.
“One cream, one sugar please.” Liz smiles at him in thanks, taking the lid off her coffee so that it will cool enough for her to drink faster.
Coming back with the cream and sugar, he hands it to her then sits in the chair next to her. “I’ll distract the front desk officer so you can leave without people knowing you slept here and get changed at home when you’re ready.”
Liz sets her coffee on the floor, bends over, and fluffs her hair, shaking the long dark strands. Max’s mouth goes dry at the sight and he isn’t quite sure where she is going with this but he doesn’t mind watching it. Finger combing her hair, Liz smiles up at him. “How bad is it? Is my eyeliner all smeared and hair wild still or do I look ok?”
“Uh…” Max is at a loss of words and still hypnotized by her hair, with his mouth hanging slightly open.
Taking his silence to mean that she looks like a tramp, Liz bites her lip and paces cursing in spanish. “Do you have a mirror anywhere? I can’t leave from the first day at my job looking like I was banged six ways from Sunday.”
“I...what?” Max swears he swallows his own tongue. He does his best not to imagine him doing just that. “You look beautiful. I swear. No mirror needed.”
Liz eyes him like she doesn’t believe him then shrugs. “Alright, Detective. Get me out the front door.” Popping the lid back on her cup of coffee, Liz waits for Max to make a move.
“See you in a couple hours.” Max plops his white cowboy hat on his head and at her nod, heads to the front desk. “Hank! What’s new man? I fell asleep in my office again.”
Hank chuckles and Max angles his body so that it is hiding Liz as she tiptoes past behind him. “Hard to do the walk of shame when you wear the same thing every day, eh Evans?”
Max laughs raucously at his joke, seeing Liz quietly open the front door behind him. When the door dings, Hank’s brow furrows. “That thing has been acting weird. We should get it checked.”
“Or maybe the precinct is haunted” Max jokes then remembers that Hank is very much a believer in ghosts when his face falls.
“Why would you say something like that, man? You know I’m scared of spooks. And I work alone at nights” Hank frets, looking around for a logical culprit.
“Sorry, dude. I forgot.” Max smiles at him sheepishly. “I’m gonna go home and get cleaned up for the day and some coffee that doesn’t suck. See you later.”
—————————-
Liz tiptoes up the stairs, carrying her heels from work hoping not to run into her overprotective father. She has nothing to be ashamed of, but he will worry she was out doing sinful things with a man.
“Elizabeth, I never heard you come in last night.” Arturo crosses his arms over his chest and watches his daughter suspiciously. She has only been in town for less than a week. Surely she hasn’t found a boyfriend already.
“Papi, I fell asleep working on a case at work. Besides, I am almost 30. I’ll stay out all night if I want to.” Liz sticks her tongue out at her father, continuing up the stairs to get ready for the day.
Plopping on her childhood bed after locking her bedroom door, Liz sighs. She has a slight crick in her neck from sleeping upside down in an office chair with no neck support. Being around Max alone was a dangerous move- one she was going to have to get used to. Why did he always smell so good? Like rain and musk.
She tiptoes her fingers down her navel to undo her skirt and get herself off thinking about the way Max looked at her like she was everything. Just this once, to get it out of her system. Then she will never think of him like that again. Nothing but professionalism with Detective Evans from here forward, she promises herself.
—————————-
Max washes his hands after jacking off thinking about his new partner. He was allowing himself to do it just this once, because thinking about her hair and long legs hanging over his office chair had him rock hard. Then he started remembering their night together and the next thing he knew, he was pumping his erection to the rhythm of his thrusts in his memories. This would be the last time he touched himself thinking of Liz Ortecho. Really.
—————————-
That day after noon, the precinct receives a call about a body found in the desert.
“Evans! We’ve got a code blue.” Sheriff Valenti calls out to him from the front office. “Don’t forget to take Ms.Ortecho with you so the evidence isn’t contaminated.”
“Yes, maam. Ms. Uh, Ortecho, grab what you need for your tests and I’ll meet you in the SUV.” Max grabs his keys off his desk and heads for his department issued black SUV that was meant to be incognito but had obvious police lights on the hood and mirrors.
Liz  collected her red field work duffle bag that proudly proclaimed “Nerds Do It Better” on the side. It had gloves, test samples, and all the tools she would need in it. She was glad she had worn ballet flats and dress pants today if she was going to be walking through the desert sands.
—————————-
Driving to the spot where the call had come from about finding a body, Max pulls up to a spot with buzzards flying around. “This must be it.” Max unclicks his seatbelt and steps out of his vehicle. Following suit, Liz undoes her seatbelt and opens her door. Coming around the hood of the car, she sees Max bending down to check the body for identification.
“Wait!” exclaimed Liz. “Don’t touch her until I have taken samples. That’s how you get your DNA  on a body.”
Max stands up straight with his hands in the air, waiting for Liz to give him instructions. She’s scary hot when she’s in work mode and it’s easiest to just do what she tells him to do.
“Before we touch ANYTHING we have to photograph the body and surroundings as we found it. How are you at taking photographs?” Liz taps her lip, sizing up Max.
“Pretty good. I do photography as a hobby sometimes.” Max shrugs.
Liz thrusts her camera into his hands. “We need photos from all angles of the body and the area we found it in. Get to work, partner.”
Liz watches Max take photos from different angles and distances of everything surrounding and on the body. Once she is satisfied with his pictures, she digs through her duffle bag looking for caution tape to mark off the scene. “Hey, Max? Did you bring the tape to mark off the crime scene?”
“Of course I did. It’s in the backseat in my crime box.”
Liz opens the passenger back door to the police SUV and stands on her tiptoes trying to get to the box. Max watches her ass wiggle as she tries to heave herself into the backseat and smiles. “Need any help?” Max offers. It’s the gentlemanly thing to do and totally not because he wants to place his hands on her hips again.
“Nope! Got it.” Liz drops back down to the ground holding the bright yellow caution tape. Max hands her the camera so she can review the photos he took and trades her for the caution tape. He places it around the body to mark off the crime scene. Once he is done, Liz straps on blue vinyl gloves. “I’m going to take my samples and you call the medical examiner to come collect the body to do the autopsy.”
“On it.” Max assures her, smiling lopsided at her in a way that makes her heart skip.
Liz ducks under the crime tape with her duffle bag with samples. She bends down next to the body, smiling shyly. “Hi, I’m Liz. I’m going to take some samples so we can find out who did this to you, okay?”
“Are you talking to a dead person, Liz?” Max asks her, amused.
“Shh!” Liz shakes her head at him, pulling out a tube with a swab. She swabs the neck wound then sticks it in the sterile container to run for DNA later. She also takes samples from under the victim’s nails, palm of her hand, and since she isn’t wearing any pants and the other similar victims were raped, she mutters an apology and takes a sample from her vagina. All the swabs are placed into their own sterile tubes to be tested later. Having taken all the samples she needs, Liz crawls out from under the caution tape with her field kit.
“Oh! Ow.” Liz yelps, as a cramp hits her neck from sleeping crooked when she straightens up outside the caution tape.
“What’s wrong?” Max comes straight over to her in three long strides, concerned.
“My neck is so tense from sleeping in your chair last night. It’s fine.” Liz explains, messaging her neck awkwardly. She takes off her medical exam gloves and places them in a plastic bag to dispose of later.
Max watches her fingers, entranced. “I’m really good at messages. I could help.”
“You don’t have to do that.” Liz argues, leaning into her touch as she tries to rub the tension out of her own shoulders.
“Don’t be silly. May I?” Max waits for her to nod then gets to work kneading the tension from her shoulders. Liz moans in appreciation and he makes sure he leans back so she doesn’t figure out  that he is rocking a serious erection from the noises she is making.
“Mmm. You ARE good at that.” Liz leans into his touch, little shocks of electricity shooting through her body at his touch.
“Feel better?” Max whispers huskily in her ear, sliding his hands back out from under her shirt.
“Uh huh.” Liz is so relaxed that she feels noodly. They both jump apart guiltily when they hear tires approaching.
“That’s the medical examiner.” Max explains to soothe her. Liz just nods in a daze.

>> min yoongi x park jimin <<
All the seasons of your love - 5k+ [college au]
The movement in the library was still slow in the first week, so Yoongi could easily remember the few people who came by. That's why he pays so much attention to a certain dark-haired freshman who walks in on a Wednesday afternoon - or at least that's what he tells himself. He goes over to the front counter and asks Yoongi for directions to the Economy 101 session and, God, his voice is as sweet as his eye-smile.
Or how librarian Yoongi fell head over heels for cute freshman Park Jimin who, unfortunately, was very much straight - or so Yoongi thought.
Bon Voyage - 47.9+ [tourist! au]
Yoongi was meant to be taking the trip of a lifetime with his boyfriend. But now he's in Paris, alone and miserable. That is until he collides - quite literally - with one Park Jimin.
Boys who talk shit - 26k+ [college au]
When Yoongi enrolled in BTS (aka Boys who Talk Shit) Boarding School, he wasn't really expecting to be the only 'straight' (to be read sarcastically) guy in a room of seven geniuses (aka children aged five to ten, honestly). Plus four pet spiders. Yes, plural.
Chaotic episodes in A Place of Love and War, where Yoongi learns all about True Love via Park Jimin, Music and Marriage. Sort of. Brain bleach and earplugs are strongly recommended.
Conflicting arrangement - 162k+ [fake boyfriend au]
"Absolutely not," Yoongi deadpanned. "Namjoon-ah. I value you as a friend, and I think I'd even go as far as to say that you're my best friend, but absolutely fucking not."
"You owe me," Namjoon pleaded. "Come on, Yoongi, it's not a big deal."
"Your boyfriend's best friend's best friend needs a fake boyfriend to come out to his family this Chuseok, all the way in fucking Busan," Yoongi repeated drily without pause, making Namjoon wince. He flipped a page of his textbook, picking up his highlighter. "Not a big deal, Namjoon. Amazing."
Cotton Candy - 240k [high school rock band]
"He could get used to sitting next to Yoongi like this. To have him around. To have the band around. To smile and feel happy. To see Yoongi sitting in front of an instrument and having him play just for him.
'If this was my happy ending,' Jimin thinks, resisting the urge to lean his head on Yoongi's shoulder, 'if I wasn't who I am, I'd just let you have me whenever you want. You could have me anytime.'"
As spring turns into summer, school band Cotton Candy unexpectedly loses its singer and the members are forced to look for a new vocalist. Six boys find one in the form of the promiscuous pink-haired boy Park Jimin who makes a home in their hearts and finally finds a place he belongs
Daegu drift - 53k+ [motorcyclist / playboy au]
Jimin stops in Daegu for a big motor show and gets caught up with the locals. Specifically one Min Yoongi.
Sneak Peek:
Yoongi has his arms folded as he stares Jimin down.
“Are you going to join the rally, or not?”
Jimin takes his time answering because he likes the way Yoongi is looking at him. “Sure. I guess it could be fun. But you do realize none of you have a chance against a Bugatti, right?”
“It’s not the car that wins the race,” the other man says. “It’s the driver. You could have the fastest, best-equipped car in the goddamn universe, but if you’re a shit driver, it doesn’t make a difference.”
Goodbye from lonely - 65k+ [uncle yoongi!]
Park Jimin works two jobs that he loves and is going to college to get his teaching degree.
Min Yoongi is a personal assistant who hates his job and spits in his boss' coffee every day.
Kim Taehyung has been infatuated with his clueless co-worker for the better part of a year.
Jeon Jeongguk has a three-year-old daughter that he'd do anything for.
Somehow the tiny human brings them all together.
Or
Tae is in love with Kookie -> Kookie's daughter takes Jimin's ballet class -> Yoongi is Kookie's stepbrother -> Jimin and Yoongi meet because of Kookie's daughter.
In your eyes (it’s where I wanna be) - 5.5k [coffee shop! au]
Jimin pauses with his marker inches away from the cup, because — is he really going to do this? Isn’t it a bit old-fashioned to write something flirty on a coffee cup? But no matter what his churning gut says about the danger and what the hell are you doing do you want to die, this guy is — with no better way to put it — totally Jimin’s Type with a capital T.
(Or: Jimin accidentally starts a nickname war with the cute blonde who likes his coffee way too bitter.)
Inked flowers - 6.4k [tattoo artist / florist au]
Something stopped him. A sound of a piano. He looked around and saw a light coming from the window on the other side of the street. On the third floor was an open window. A light and the sorrowful sound of a piano flew out of the room. Jimin looked closer and saw a figure or at least a top of someone's head.
The melody was so sad and sorrowful that Jimin wanted to cry. He started thinking, what could possibly go inside that person’s head? What were they thinking? Jimin just hoped that they weren’t sad and alone.
(let me see you) get high then low - 4k+ [photographer/model au]
"The light-haired model is the kind that fascinates Yoongi, and at the same time, he prefers to steer away from. He's all smiles and flowers, drawing you in with his cuteness until he's not anymore. Suddenly, he’s something else entirely; he's that false calm, the ocean that looks smooth on the surface but will drag you down to its depths if you dare to touch it."
or
Min Yoongi works in a photography studio with some (very questionable) friends that can't get any work properly done without making a bit of a fuss.
Park Jimin is a model handcuffed against his will and bored. Also a little bit horny, maybe.
Math Tutor - 11.7k [bad boy! yoongi]
Min Yoongi is the school's resident Bad Boy™. He's covered in tattoos, is pierced, curses like a sailor, smokes like crazy, doesn't give a shit about anything, possesses a hot temper that has people steering clear of him, and is desperately in love with Park Jimin, the adorable math nerd. When Jimin is tasked with tutoring Yoongi in math, who is in danger of failing the class and being held back a year, both boys are hesitant. Yoongi because he can't think straight around the boy with startling red hair, and Jimin because Yoongi is scary as hell and looks like he can easily kill someone. Gradually, though, the two grow closer, and Jimin finds that Yoongi is nothing like how he'd imagined.
Maybe I hate you can be our always - 35.9k [enemies to lovers]
When Yoongi thinks about it, really gives it genuine thought, it's possible that Park Jimin isn't the worst person in the world.
//
(Or, Yoongi and Jimin get off on the wrong foot.)
Ode to yoonmin - 4k+ [texting]
yoongi and jimin are in very much in love but they're the only ones who don't know it
OR
chat fic with a bunch of bad jokes and memes ¯\_(ツ)_/
Out of my system - 101.6k+ [one night stand]
Yoongi likes one night stands and he understands how they work. What he doesn’t understand, however, is how he ended up in bed with a probably-not-legal kid crying in his arms about his broken heart, because he’s pretty sure (and correct him if he’s wrong) that a babysitting job was not what he was looking for when he went to the opening of his friend’s new club
Standing on the brink of 376 - 42.9k+ [street racing]
When Taehyung woke him up at three AM to go to a street race—an illegal one, no less—claiming it would help his social anxiety, Jimin never actually expected it to do much for him, except maybe make him cry hysterically. He found that he really wasn't too far off-kilter with that assumption, but it was only after he'd suffered through countless bouts of insecurity that he realized, hidden behind each stuttered breath, every inevitable tear, every spark of unavoidable fear, and even the customary cloud of cigarette smoke itself, lay a tremendous amount of affection for a certain platinum haired street racer that he can't even begin to justify. But when his opinion of fact, fate, and even life itself continues to blur with each push of the gas pedal, he thinks he just might be able to forgive himself for falling in love with a criminal, when the nonsensical moonshine of the present mutes the anxiety that had been a constant within his heart up until this November.
Strawberry lube - 82.7k+ [college au]
Yoongi remembers little to nothing of their crazy drunken night out. But of two things he's absolutely sure, one: he's not gay, two: he just slept with Park Jimin
The Paradiso Lounge - 192k+ [photographer/stripper au]

As captain of his high school’s basketball team, Min Yoongi dedicated all of his attention to his team and their games. His focus on the game never waned, not once for anything or anyone.
Well, until head cheerleader Park Jimin flashed his abs during a solo cheer and made him fuck up his shot

It's been years since Yoongi's last seen him and the younger boy is a shell of his former self in a way that makes his heart twist in his chest. And yet, after all this time and countless days of convincing himself to let him go, he's still unconditionally, head over heels in love with Park Jimin.

Whether or not Jimin was smuggling drugs really didn’t matter. He was hustling, and these days that was all there was to it.
Hustle and survive or struggle and die.

8 Days in Paris
Tumblr media
I’ve been wanting to visit Paris for as long as I can remember. 2 weeks ago my life long dream, CAME TRUE! My fascination with the city began with my love for ballet. For those who don't know I was a ballet dancer for 16 years, and the type of ballet I was taught, originated in Paris. I have envisioned myself walking amongst the city streets for years and to finally cross this off my bucket list was an indescribable feeling. I want to share everything we did while we were there, and any quick tips to help you out if you’re wanting to visit this amazing place for yourself! 
Tumblr media
Alright lets start with planning. I searched for EVER to find affordable flights. Typically out of California round trip tickets to Paris are around $1200 each. By some miracle I was able to find round trip tickets for $500 each. (Because it’s off season for tourism and once the weather gets colder, the ticket prices drop) I didn't use any specific sites or cheap airlines, I was just always looking for a deal. So I definitely recommend going on off season (Fall to early spring) to avoid high ticket prices. 
While you're planning, I would also really recommend staying at an Airbnb over a hotel. We really felt like we got the true Parisian experience and most Airbnbs are cheaper then hotels is what I noticed while planning.
HERE IS A LINK to the cute private apartment we stayed at while we were there. It was PERFECT for what we wanted. The iconic Parisian windows, a great view to a little courtyard, in the city center, and 3 minute walk to the subway. (Photo below for the ideal Parisian windows I was talking about.)
Tumblr media
We decided to break up our trip by spending the majority of our time in Paris at the Airbnb, and then the last 2 nights we splurged and stayed at a hotel I’ve had my eye on for awhile now. Hotel Providence is the Parisian hotel of my dreams, and it did not disappoint. The stunning lush decor and rich color palette of the entire hotel checked off all my aesthetic points. We had champagne waiting for us in our room, and they were accommodating for early check in and leaving our bags at the front desk after we checked out, since we had some time to kill before our flight. I found the hotel on Instagram and I’m so glad I did. They have an amazing bar downstairs that was great for pre and post dinner drinks. They serve food as well but we unfortunately never got to try any. The front desk and service at the bar was amazing, super friendly, spoke great English and would absolutely recommend staying here if your budget allows. See below for pictures of our beautiful room and the outside seats of the bar / restaurant! CLICK HERE FOR A LINK TO THE HOTEL

Another thing I would highly recommend is getting the PARIS CITY PASS. This pass will get you into the Louvre, Musee d’Orsay, Versailles, you name a Parisian attraction, and this pass will most likely get you in, and the best part is you won't have to wait in ticket lines. At the Louvre, there was a 2 hour wait to get tickets, and we literally walked RIGHT in... Sorry everyone in line! Should have done your research!

While planning, something else to think about is transportation. Basically the entire trip, we took Paris’s subway system ‘Le Metro.’ If you have an iPhone, using apple maps is going to be your best friend. Switch your directions to transit instead of walking or driving. The apple maps directions will tell you exactly where to go for the train stations, which lines to take, and which direction you need to be heading. There are signs in English in the subway so don't worry about not being able to understand French signs. There are trains right at the airport, and everywhere you will want to go in the city. Its truly amazing and so affordable compared to trying to Uber everywhere. We honestly preferred taking the subway way more than taking Ubers, because traffic in the city is.... Intense, and most of our Uber drivers didn't speak any English. The trains were always much faster and just easier in general.
Tumblr media
Now I want to share the things we did that were noteworthy, and that we would recommend to anyone who is coming to Paris for the first time.
1. Eiffel Tower. Just as magical as you would think it would be. Head to the Tracadero across the river Seine to get an amazing view and its a GREAT picture spot. Another amazing picture spot is on the same side of the river as the Eiffel Tower and its a little dead end street with the perfect view of the tower with some French buildings in the line of view as well. 
Heres the address: 228 Rue de l’Universite (the picture below was taken HERE)
Tumblr media
2. Versailles. The grandest palace in all of Europe. It is breath taking. Especially if you're a history nerd like me. I got an audio guide so we didn't have to take a tour, and it was perfect. Also highly recommend renting a golf cart to get around the gardens and to see the other buildings and Marie Antoinette’s little village she created. PICTURE SPOTS: Hall of mirrors, Petite Trianon, and the Grand Trianon. Advice for getting pictures here, PATIENCE. Just wait for people to move so you can get cool shots with no one in them.

3. Crazy Horse. Ok this one won't be for everyone, but when I think of Paris I think of burlesque. Crazy Horse was one of the coolest burlesque shows we’ve seen and its a must if you're wanting a sexy night out. ( We preferred this over Moulin Rouge. )
4. MontMarte. MontMarte is the cities highest point. resting on a hill, there's a gorgeous old church, the Sacre Couer. MontMarte is also the cities historic artist district. Artists such as Van Gogh, and Renoir, found inspiration in this quaint part of town. Behind the church is the cutest little area where local artists are still paining city scapes and personal portraits. Seeing this area was a highlight for me. It felt so like what I thought Paris would be like. Good rooftop bar with the view of the city and the Eiffel Tower: Terrass Hotel, the rooftop bar is open to the public, you don't have to be staying at the hotel.
Tumblr media
5. Le Marais. This is where you need to go if you're wanting to shop. Clothes, local pastries, apothecaries, you name it this area has it. Our favorite stores were Blue Garage, System Vintage, Luka Luna, 
6. Notre Dame. A Paris staple. Currently closed for renovations but still worth seeing from afar. The streets around the Notre Dame are covered with vintage magazine / book stands. They make for great home decor. Make sure you have euros pulled out though because they don't accept credit cards!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
7. Musee d’Orsay. Paris’s second biggest and most famous museum. Is in an old train station which makes for a cool setting for a museum. (See picture below) We liked this museum more than the Louvre...Way less crowded, and more modern artists that we actually knew. Holds famous paintings from Monet, Degas, Renoir, and Van Gogh. Highly recommend grabbing a drink on the 5th floor cafe behind one of the old clocks!
Tumblr media
8. The Catacombs. Super interesting walk through some of Paris’s old Limestone quarries that they filled with bones from the cemeteries, when the cemeteries were getting too crowded in the 1700′s. I didn't get any spooky vibes. Just felt like a museum.
9. Palais Garnier. The Opera house in Paris. Reminiscent of Versailles, this grand Opera house is soooo extravagant and gorgeous. The first real Ballets were put on here. How cool is that?
Tumblr media
That wraps up the things to see that we loved most. Now lets move on to my favorite part... THE FOOD!
Basically everywhere you look in Paris there are little cafes. Sometimes as many as 4 on a block. Eat at as many of them as you can. They're all pretty incredible. If you're from America and have never traveled to Europe, something to note is that in Europe, slow service is good service. You have to ask for your check. dining out in Europe is an experience and they want you to relax and enjoy your time dining. There is no rush with food there. Its pretty life changing coming from a country where you are accustomed to being in and out of a restaurant within an hour and getting angry if your food hasn't shown up in 15 minutes. 
Things you need to try at any Parisian restaurant: bread, butter, wine, and cheese. They're all usually locally sourced and man let me tell you... It just tastes DIFFERENT over there. The butter is the best butter I’ve ever had. When we got home I legitimately looked up where I can buy French butter here in San Diego... The wine? INSANE. One night I had 6 glasses (which is WAY way way too much for me) and the next morning I didn't wake up with any sort of hangover... I don't know what they're doing in France but wow it is amazing. The cheeses are also wonderful. All so different depending on the restaurant, and all taste soooo much fresher then any cheese I’ve had here in the US. It’s hard to describe. 
Some of our favorite restaurants we came across while we were there:
BREAKFAST / LUNCH-
Any cafe usually has a Croque Monisuer or a Croque Madame which is basically a grilled cheese sandwich with ham and egg, they're amazing and make a great breakfast sandwich. We also ordered Cafe Au Lait’s everywhere we went for breakfast (Coffee with steamed milk.) And croissants are always a good idea.
La Terrasse Des Archives for an amazing avocado toast eggs Benedict
Hollybelly 5 for some americanized / English style breakfasts and some amazing lattes
Hardware Societie for another amazing Americanized / English breakfast
Breakfast in America is a full on American diner in the heart of Paris.
DINNER-
My favorite meals we ate in Paris were our dinners. There is endless amazing food options but here are some of our favorites.
Sacree Fleur did not disappoint. Located in MontMarte, this cozy restaurant will blow you away. We started with the cheese course, wine, and bread. Had steak and mashed potatoes as our main course, which by the way, continues to cook at your table on a hot slab of rock. SO COOL! And we finished with the creme brûlée, which actually made me CRY, it was so good.... (Terrass Hotel is walking distance away, the rooftop bar is open to the public and you get an amazing view of all of Paris including the Effie tower while enjoying some after dinner drinks, and you don't have to be staying at the hotel to enjoy the rooftop bar.)
Le Petit Italien is an amazing option if you're wanting some Italian food in Paris.
Le Sancrerre in MontMarte was another stand out. I got the beef bourguignon and it was incredible.
Chez Janou was also outstanding. Perfect French dishes, great service. Our waiter was actually living in San Diego for awhile before he moved back home to Paris so it was a super random coincidence to eat there and have him as our waiter!
