#i want these babies to grow from good friends into partners in crime

[seungcheorry]

Ot13 reaction on how many kids SVT would have?

how many kids svt would have:

seungcheol probably wants to have two at least. i can picture him having a baby girl and then getting too excited once his partner is free from the whole post partum thing and getting them pregnant again right afterwards. he would really wish for a baby boy then.

jeonghan would love to have two as well, and i can see him having twins - i don't know why, something in him just screams FATHER OF TWINS to me. probably two girls? it's a lot of work though, he'll be done with having kids, would probably even do the surgery so he can't have any anymore.

joshua is very similar to seungcheol to me, would probably have a boy and then get too excited and have a girl because his dna is just good like that. the prettiest kids to ever exist actually, and he's so in love with them that it can be quite easy to talk him into having another one after a few years.

junhui screams boy dad to me, so yeah. i can see him having only one child, a really savage boy just like minghao was back in the day? weird but in a good, chomical way. he would be really good friends with his kid, like a partners in crime type of relationship.

soonyoung... oh, soonyoung. he says he wants to have lots and lots of kids because he loves having his house full but after the first one - a baby boy -, he gets so tired that he actually apologizes to his mom. might slip or be talked into having another one (he just wants his kid to have a relationship like the one he has with his sister); would really hope for a girl then, would probably get another boy though.

wonwoo is a definitely a girl dad too. he would really hope for a boy (i don't know why, i just feel like he would) but then it comes a baby girl and he turns into mush for her. such a goner, i can't even begin to describe - she can tell him to stay put for 20 whole minutes while she pretends to make tea and he won't move a muscle, just stay there and watch her because she told him to. would probably just want one.

jihoon is a girl dad and i will die on this hill. he's also a goner for his girl, he's very strict with things but also he doesn't like to be rough to her so he's just, i don't know, the perfect balance? most likely to be the favorite parent and learn about his daughter secrets before his partner because she just trusts him like that. would also just want one.

seokmin would love three - the first one (a boy) is probably planned; the second one (a girl) is probably an expected accident as he doesn't mind having sex without protection even though he knows the risks; the third one (another boy) is probably an unexpected accident that he cries in joy when he sees for the first time. he would definitely tell his partner "i'm so glad we got drunk that night" while seeing his two oldest children ganging up to change the new baby's diaper.

mingyu definitely wants two kids, he loves his sister too much and knows how a sibling relationship can literally save someone. most likely to have two girls, and his partner might ask him if he isn't sad that they didn't have a boy but he's too busy to answer as he's teaching the girls how to make ramyeon :(

minghao already said himself, he's not the one who gets to decide how many kids he and his partner will have, but he wants two - and can be bend into having a third one. i can see him having a boy and then a girl, and if he and his partner decides for another one, then it would be another girl, probably.

seungkwan would have two girls and his dramatic ass would say it's karma because what do you mean he grew up with his older sisters and now he has to take care of yet other two girls who will bicker and gang up on him just like his sisters did? behind that facade though he would love to take care of them and to see them grow together. most emotional dad, for sure.

vernon is a boy dad to me and he would say he only wants one kid but then he sees him growing up on his own and don't get me wrong, the kid is totally fine with it, but vernon can't stop thinking about how sofia changed his life and he would go "yeah, we might need another one" to his partner. makes a whole deal about it when he finds out his second child is gonna be a girl. "REALLY, WHAT ARE THE ODDS?"... but it's not that hard, vernon. i'm glad you're happy though, i know you love your kids.

chan is also a boy dad and he would probably want another kid but once he realizes how much work and effort it takes, he's sticking to just one. if his partner ever wants another one they would have to really talk him into it, might even need to ask seokmin for help, because chan would stand his ground and say no. but honestly? he's a loverboy, at the end he might just say yes and then meet his cute little daughter and be like "oh my god, why didn't we make her sooner?"

Bucky & Ducky (3) - Growing friendship

Summary: Bucky Barnes. Ruthless mafia boss. Soft only for his wife and…well, Ducky.

Pairing: Mobster!Bucky Barnes x Wife!Reader

Side pairing: Mobster!Bucky Barnes x Ducky the duck

Warnings: mafia business, fluff, unusual friendship

A/N: Thanks to @buck-star for the idea and brainstorming with me. I did it…😅

Catch up here: Bucky & Ducky (2) - Warming up

Bucky & Ducky Masterlist

“Morning, handsome,” you coo as your husband walks toward you. He looks handsome as ever in his tailored suit and with his neatly styled hair. “What are you up to today, Mr. Barnes?”

“First of all,” he chuckles and cups your face. “I’ll kiss my beautiful wife.” Bucky kisses you softly, smirking against you. “And then, I have a meeting with Steve and Sam. We want to discuss a few things—”

You press your index finger to his lips to stop Bucky from talking too much about the business. House rules – no talking about his business, yelling, or violence.

“What are you up to today, doll? How about you have a spa day? I want you to relax and have a day off.” Bucky pecks your nose, earning a giggle. “I mean it, baby doll. You work so hard and take care of the house, garden, and me.”

“Oh, Ducky! Why are you here, sweetie?” You gasp watching your newest family member waddle toward your husband. You put the duckling into a small plastic tub in the kitchen, but Ducky has other plans. The duckling quacks loudly, demanding Bucky’s attention.

Your husband crouches down to pick up the tiny duckling. “Punk, what are you doing here? Don’t you want to take a nice bath?”

The duckling snuggles into Bucky’s hand and quacks loudly. “Uh—I think Ducky believes you’re his mom or dad.” You smile softly. Your heart melts watching your husband, the dangerous mafia boss, care for a duckling. “What now? The little one won’t be happy if you leave now.”

Bucky looks at you and then at the duckling in his hands. He sighs because the tiny creature looks up at him like an innocent child. “Alright, Ducky. Let’s go to work together then.”

“What?”

“Can you hold them for a moment, doll?” Bucky carefully hands you the duckling to put his coat and scarf on. “Hmm…wait. I can’t take Ducky with me like this. They are going to freeze.”

“I could put them into a box with a blanket,” you offer.

“I’ve got this, doll,” Bucky jogs back upstairs to walk into your bedroom. He gets one of his scarves. He smirks as his eyes land on one of your plushies. A bear wearing a tiny bowtie. “Oh, look at that, Ducky.” He hums before grabbing the bear.

Bucky walks back downstairs, the scarf tugged under his arm, and a tiny bowtie dangling from his finger.

“Now we can go to work, punk,” Bucky says as he puts the tiny bowtie around Ducky’s neck. “You look good. A heartbreaker, just like your daddy.”

“Buck, what are you doing?” You snort watching Bucky wrap the scarf around the duckling. “Maybe Ducky should stay here with me.”

“No, it’s decided. We will go to work and have a blast messing with Sam, and maybe Steve too.” He holds Ducky in one hand, to cup your chin with his free hand. “Have a good day, baby doll. I’ll be back in no time.”

Bucky kisses you softly. He reluctantly steps away and turns to leave your home, Ducky still in his hand.

“Have a good day too, Bucky and Ducky,” you giggle and laugh as your husband, the ruthless mobster, is carrying a duckling around.

“Morning, Steve, Sam,” Bucky nods at his friends and partners in crime. He throws his scarf and coat on the couch at his office and wants to go straight to talking about business.

“Uh—Buck,” Steve laughs and points at something on the ground. “What’s that?”

“What is what?” Bucky looks around the room until his eyes land on Ducky. The duckling stands next to his foot, still wearing the tiny bowtie.

Sam snorts. “Bucky, are you blind? There is a yellow thing on your shoe!”

“Sam, Steve,” Bucky clears his throat as he points at the ducking. “Meet Ducky, our newest family member. He wanted to see my office.”

“That’s a duckling,” Sam chuckles. He holds his stomach before bursting into laughter. “…and…and…it’s wearing a bowtie!”

“Buck, be honest with us,” Steve says and places his hand on Bucky’s shoulder. “Y/N brought that little thing home, am I right?”

“She saved Ducky,” Bucky huffs when his friends stare at him as if he lost his mind. “They wanted to kill him because he was the weakest. She brought him home.”

“Why in the world would you put a bowtie on that thing?” Sam crouches down to look at Ducky. “Is it just me or does the duckling look pissed?”

“He looks pissed because you keep calling him a thing!” Bucky crouches down to pick Ducky up and places him on the couch.

“You’re carrying around a duckling,” Steve points out. “Why would you do such a thing?”

“I love Y/N and, he didn’t want to stay at home. I guess Ducky sees me as his father or something.” Bucky narrows his eyes at Sam, who tries to grab Ducky to get a better look at the duckling. “Hands off. No one touches Ducky!”

“Calm down,” Sam backpaddles, but laughs about Bucky’s reaction. “I only wanted to get a better look at the duckling.”

“How about we go back to work and talk about business.” Steve tries not to laugh when Ducky quacks loudly. “I hope he’s domesticated.”

“He won’t poop on your jacket, Steve.” Bucky grins at his friend. “Just you know, no one is going to disrespect Ducky. He’s part of the family now.”

He glances at Sam, giving him a stern look. Sam shows his palms and huffs. “Whatever, man. If your duckling is part of the family, it is part of the family…”

“Honey, we are home!” Bucky walks into the bedroom, Ducky in his arms. “We had a fruitful meeting with Steve and Sam.”

You smirk, watching your husband place Ducky on your bed. “I ran a bath for you. The water is nice and warm. I didn’t add bath salt this time. In case Ducky wants to join you.”

Bucky grins and picks Ducky back up. “What do you say, buddy? Do we want to take a bath before dinner?”

NOT ANOTHER RAINBOW LEGACY CHALLENGE

Welcome to this ten generation legacy challenge based on vibrant colors! Inspired by all the other color themed legacies out there, because who doesn’t like basing their sims whole personality on a color (I know I’m a sucker for it lol). I won’t put a long list of rules here, because at the end of the day I want this to be your gameplay and story that you create. I will suggest that you follow each generation, but if something isn’t to your liking, by all means, change it for yourself. With that being said, don’t claim this challenge as your own, even if you tweak it. Remember, though, legacy challenges are all about having fun!

If you play don't forget to tag me here or on instagram @clumsy.romantic or use the hashtag #notanotherlegacy. I would really love to see some gameplay/stories!

That doesn’t matter, though, because as soon as you can, you move out of your parents home so that you can start your own life and family.

Growing up on a beautiful beach with your single parent doing everything for you made you into a spoiled brat. The only thing you actually want to do, besides sleep and chill, is fashion photography. You have a real eye for fashion. Although, you don’t really have a knack for picking up work. You’re more likely to be suntanning than actually doing your job.

Alright, it's time....

Say hello to my main OLNF MC!!!!!

This is my baby Marceline Jeandel!!! σ(≧ε≦σ) ♡

I want to make a much more formal post about them in the future where I go more in depth into who they are but that'll wait until later because I want to talk about Marceline and I want to talk about them NOW!! So this'll just be a quick intro (under the read more)

So! At 10 years old little Marceline Jeandel moved to Golden Grove all the way from their birthplace, France! The move was a pretty daunting event, especially since they were travelling to a completely different continent, to Marceline it was as if they went to a different dimension entirely! But, Marceline had their Maman, their most loved and trusted figure in their life, if she was there then they'd be able to do anything

Marceline (in this step) is a young transgender boy with He/Him pronouns, their journey with their gender is one filled with quite a few twists, turns, and feelings that I won't delve into in full here, all you really need to know now is that they eventually figure out that they are genderqueer and primarily use they/them pronouns!

For the most part, Marceline is nonverbal in step one (in steps two, three, and four they're not necessarily nonverbal but they still talk very rarely). The reason for this is that they have a fairly severe form of Apraxia of Speech, a neurological disorder that essentially makes it extremely difficult if not impossible for the brain to send signals to the parts of the body that control speech, this renders Marceline unable to form coherent sentences and makes it so they can only really make random vocalizations and maaaybe say a word or two on good days. They are in speech therapy for this and are slowly but steadily getting better at forming proper speech but for now, they only really communicate through various vocalizations when it's needed. I will mention here as well that Marceline is also Autistic! I've done extremely thorough research into both of these conditions to make sure I'm representing both in a respectful way, I'm aware of the stereotypes a nonverbal autistic character can easily fall into and whenever I do anything Marceline related I always make sure I'm not running them right into any possible stereotypes

Lastly! Their relationship with the leads!

When it comes to romance, Marceline is paired with the one and only Qiu Lin, it was a crush at first sight for them, Marceline just couldn't resist the typical Qiu charm! For step one Marceline and Qiu are naturally very close but there is just a tad bit of a distance between the two simply due to the fact that because of their crush, Marceline holds Qiu on an extremely high pedestal and greatly admires them which ends up leading to Marceline never acting like they're on the same level as Qiu and letting them guide everything (basically, Marceline is accidentally feeding into Qiu's self-sacrificing behaviour, but don't worry! They grow out of it by step two I promise!!) Nevertheless, while the two go through many hardships they do end up on the other side as forever lovers <3

As for one Tamarack Baumann, she and Marceline are inseparable lemme tell you- From day one those two became the best of best friends and get along with each other better than anyone else. Their playful and carefree personalities and energy melded together perfectly which led to them almost immediately forming an unbreakable bond with one another that lasts all the way into adulthood. Whatever Tamarack needs Marceline will almost always be there, whether she needs a playmate, support, personal cheerleader, partner in crime, and whatever else Marceline will always be there. The only time there's ever any tension between the dynamic duo is if Tamarack's bossiness gets the better of her and annoys Marceline, but the two are always quick to apologize and make amends (and this pretty much stops being a problem entirely by step two as they both for the most part grow out of these habits)

And I believe that's all the main stuff you need to know about Marceline! Now I can actually talk about them more!! Thank you so much for taking a look at my MC and have a wonderful day!

Lay With Me, I’ll Lay With You

afab!Lars Lindstrom x afab!reader

∘₊✧ 2.4k words

∘₊✧ Summary: Lars follows your directions when he’s desperately turned on but can’t take any more touching

∘₊✧ Authors notes: I wrote thoughts on eating Lars’s pussy and it led onto the idea for this fic, encouraged by my friends on goosecord — thank you! An extra special thank you to my partner in crime @heresthestorymorningglory who not only beta reads everything I write, but encourages my obsession with Lars’s fingers so much that I finally wrote this! And I enjoyed the heck out of it! And I wanna make Lars feel good!!

Title from Toothpaste Kisses by The Maccabees

∘₊✧ Warnings/content: NSFW, making out, masturbation, fingering, instructions/dirty talk, praise, touch therapy but make it sexy

∘₊✧─────────────────────✧₊∘

Lars rocked into your thigh and shuddered against you.

He wanted more, despite his kiss-swollen lips beginning to tingle with that frustratingly familiar burn he was working on losing.

This was not your first kiss with him, of course; you’d lost count over the weeks, and each time Lars was growing more confident. With every kiss, the burning took longer to come on and he craved your lips, daydreamed about them locked with his when he was alone.

He whined, disappointed that he had to pull away from you. He’d recently been craving more than just your lips, no matter how he tried to fight it.

The layers between your bodies helped prolong the closeness he could manage with you, but he wanted to feel your skin on his, warm in the cool air, making him shiver hot and cold.

He had wondered if tonight he could try it, until he felt his lips hurt again.

‘I’m sorry,’ he breathed, eyes watery as they met yours. He pinched the bridge of his nose as he steadied himself, sucking in a shaky breath.

Your legs were still tangled together with his, his heat pressed against your thigh, and yours against his. He ached to chase it, but Dagmar had warned him not to move too fast, to listen to his body.

But what did that mean exactly? His body was pulling him in two vastly different directions — he needed a breather to quell the burning on his lips and tongue, while an altogether different sort of heat pooled low in his gut and spread between his legs, simmering right where your thigh was jammed deliciously against his arousal.

He whined again. Needy this time.

Instinct told you to cup his cheek in your palm, wipe away the solitary tear that had trickled down over it, ground him in your safety. But you knew that more touching wasn’t going to help, no matter how much either of you wanted it.

‘Lars, baby, what is it?’

‘I- I don’t know,’ he sniffled.

‘Is it the burning? You’re doing so well, it’s getting longer every time. And hotter,’ you smirked, knowing he would blush at that, ‘you’re such a good kisser.’

He did blush, face turning a pretty shade of pink.

‘It’s not that, it’s-’ he quickly gave up trying to decipher what bis body was trying to tell him and sighed, squeezing his eyes shut as he gestured vaguely to where your legs were interlocked.

‘Oh! Oh, Lars I’m sorry, let me give you some space-’

Rather than letting you make space, his legs clamped around yours to keep you in place, hands grasping frantically at your shoulders, and without meaning to, he moaned. Loud and unrestrained. The friction as you moved against him was just so delicious he couldn’t stop himself. 

He groaned in frustrated embarrassment, hoping you didn’t notice.

Your eyes widened.

‘Oh… you mean it feels good?’

‘Yeah.’ He whimpered, biting his lips tight together. There was no hiding it now. You might not be able to feel the way his core was throbbing, but you’d heard him moan. He’d given himself away too easily.

‘Do you… do you want me to touch you?’

Lars’s skin prickled all of a sudden and Dagmar’s advice made sense. Yes, he wanted you to touch him. More than anything he wanted your hands everywhere all at once, especially between his thighs. But his body was warning him that if you did it right now, it might hurt. He would break that barrier eventually, just like he was with kissing, but he wanted his first time with you to be pleasant and memorable for all the right reasons. Better work on holding hands and kissing for a while longer first, then.

‘Yeah, I do. Oh I really do, but-’ he trailed off, unsure how to put it into words.

‘It’s too much right now?’ you helped him.

Lars was forever thankful that you understood his needs enough that he rarely had to explain himself.

He nodded but his soft features were pained. It made your chest ache.

‘It’s too much, but you need it?’

He nodded again.

‘You know, I might just have a solution,’ you smiled, and he dared make eye contact with you again even though his cheeks were still very much ablaze.

‘What’s the solution?’ he asked, hopeful, and you paused for a moment, enjoying the way his pupils had blown, sparkling blues turned dark, begging you for what he needed. 

‘I’ve given this quite a lot of thought, actually,’ you smirked. 

‘R-really?’

‘Mmhm. It doesn’t hurt when you touch your own skin, right?’

‘No, never.’

A heavy pause fell between you. Lars could hear blood rushing in his ears as he waited for your answer.

‘So touch yourself for me.’

Lars’s whole body turned to jelly. His eyes widened, his jaw turned slack. Were you suggesting what he thought you were suggesting? With you right here, watching him? He wasn’t even sure if he did it properly when he was alone, never mind whether he could do it with eyes on him.

‘Don’t worry, I’ll tell you what I’d do, y’know? Describe exactly how I’d touch you. And you just have to follow my directions. Okay?’

Lars’s heart slammed in his chest. His immediate reaction, Yes, a thousand times, yes, screamed inside his head but came out as a shaky, ‘Okay, sure.’ He could do that. Couldn’t he?

‘Are you sure you want to?’ you said, quiet and even.

‘Yes.’ He was much more confident this time, a little dizzy at the prospect of what you’d proposed, but absolutely certain he wanted to do this with you.

Carefully, you slid yourself from within the grip of his thighs and settled at the foot of the bed while Lars rolled onto his back, propped up on his pillows, watching you, patiently waiting for you to give him his first instruction.

‘Alright,’ you began, ‘I’d start by teasing my fingers under the hem of your sweater. Just grazing your skin slightly, tucking inside your trousers a little, y’know, to test the waters.’

You watched as he did just that, fingers exploring the soft skin of his lower belly carefully. He trembled under your gaze, all kinds of thrills running through his body.

‘And when I’m sure you’d want me to go on, I’d unfasten those trousers. But not before dragging my palm over you. To feel you. And to get a reaction. Because I’d want to hear you.’

Lars cupped his clothed cunt and pulled his palm upwards, head tilting back as a spark shot through him and a little, ‘Ah!’ escaped from between his parted lips.

‘That’s it, baby, you’re doing so well for me.’

Lars groaned quietly at your praise, low and drawn out. He never took this much time with himself when he was alone. When the grasp of arousal became too much to bear and even chopping wood didn’t help to burn off the energy, he got straight to it and hurried to his orgasm, feeling dirty and more than a little guilty when the brief pleasure subsided. But this felt good. Really good.

‘Once your trousers were undone,’ you went on ‘I’d slide a hand slowly inside your underwear, feel how turned on you are for me. How silky and wet you’ve gotten.’

Impatiently, Lars’s fingers made their way inside his underwear and pushed lower. His folds did feel silky. He’d never really thought about it before, but it felt kind of nice against his fingertips, warm and slippery over soft, puffy skin.

‘Does that feel good?’ you breathed.

Lars nodded, his own breath heavy, fingers exploring over his opening slowly, like you’d asked.

‘I’d drag my fingers through your swollen folds, spread your slick around and get you whining for more.’

Lars’s breath hitched as he felt through his folds just like you said you would, hitting every nerve along the way until he reached his clit and his body jolted. He couldn’t remember even being this sensitive.

He couldn’t wait until you could really do this to him, but this felt incredible enough for now.

‘I’d take my fingers away completely next. Leave you wanting. Because I’ve got you so worked up, you’ve forgotten your trousers are still on, but I’d want to see you. I’d want you to see what I’m doing to you, too.’

Brow furrowed in protest at the instruction to stop touching, Lars reluctantly followed your instructions, removing his hand from inside his underwear, clenching his thighs together in their absence.

His fingers were coated in his arousal and the sight of it made your own core clench.

‘I wouldn’t want to make a mess of your trousers, and I most definitely would want to taste you. So I’d lick my fingers clean.’

Lars’s eyes widened again, but without question, he brought his fingers to his lips and pushed them inside, sucking lightly, moaning around them as he tasted himself. He’d never tried that before. He imagined you tasting him, and it made his stomach do flips. He imagined tasting you and felt like he almost passed out.

‘Then, I’d finally take those trousers off. And your underwear with them. Like unwrapping a present made just for me...’

Fumbling a little, Lars slipped everything he was wearing on his bottom half off and dropped it all unceremoniously to the floor beside the bed, pressing his legs together now he was exposed.

‘I’d tease my fingers up and down your thighs to loosen you up, then I’d grip them tight, squeeze them… and spread them wide.’

Swallowing hard, Lars followed, shivering again as his fingertips raked over untouched flesh, dug his fingers in, kneading at his own flesh, and then spread himself open for you to see.

Instinctively, you licked your lips. You longed to dive between those thick thighs and eat him out for hours, lap up every drop of his juices, make him cum over and over until he could barely remember his own name.

But that was for another time. For now, you would enjoy the sight. And what a sight it was.

His pussy looked as thick and delicious as the rest of him, soft hair surrounding it in the same shade as his mustache. He was glistening, entrance dripping and big juicy clit swollen and visibly throbbing, standing to attention, just begging to be touched. You turned lightheaded.

‘I’d… I’d pause for a moment,’ you stalled, ‘just to take your beauty in. To think about all the ways I’d want to make you scream my name. About how much I want to touch you. But I’d need to pace myself because more than anything I’d want to enjoy making you feel good.’

Lars’s fingers were digging painfully into his thighs where he’d gripped them now. If they weren’t, they’d already be between his legs, relentlessly rubbing his clit and desperately fucking himself until he found his release, but you hadn’t given the instruction for that. So he waited obediently no matter how impossible it was becoming to wait.

‘And then… I’d drag my fingers-’ you held your hand up to demonstrate, still absolutely hypnotised, ‘-from your entrance to your clit. And I’d stay there a while, rubbing slow, precise little circles into you, feeling you tremble against me.’

Lars shakily moved his fingers to collect his wetness and spread it up to massage his clit the way you’d told him to do it. It was torture. Incredible, frustrating, electric torture.

He threw his head back into the pillow, groaning low and guttural as he worked firm, slow circles into his bundle of nerves, alight in a way they’d never been.

‘I’m not-’ he panted, writhing against the mattress, ‘I’m n-not gonna- oughh- last-’

‘I’d relish in how sensitive you are, but give you mercy, plunging a finger inside and curling it upward, beckoning slowly at first — but when I feel you tightening around my finger, I’d fuck you on it without any mercy at all-’

Lars shook as he slid his middle finger lower and pushed it inside, filling himself. 

You watched how he dragged it in and out and god how you wanted those thick fingers inside you, too.

‘I’d press the heel of my palm against your clit so every thrust of my finger rubbed you there too until you’d unravel for me-’

Lars’s tried to ease himself toward his climax, but he was fucking himself hard and fast now, the lewd sloshing of his arousal echoing around the room along with his heavy breath, laced with a desperate grunt each time he drew out and slammed his finger back in.

‘Cum for me, Lars,’ you moaned, watching as he clenched around his own finger, dreaming of the way he’d feel contracting around yours.

His back arched off the bed as his peak wracked through his body, and his free hand bunched the sheets into a tight fist as he came undone, your name falling from his lips.

‘I’d slow my finger as the aftershocks subside, still moving it inside you, but gentler now, easing you down from your high,’ you panted, gripping the sheets in your own fists, now too.

‘And then I’d hold you. Tell you how good you were for me, how warm you felt and how delicious you tasted. How I can’t wait to make you cum for me like that again. And again. And again.’

Lars turned to bury his face into his pillow, overwhelmed by his orgasm, and by your words. He wanted that. So much. He imagined he was burying his face into your shoulder, taking in your scent, intoxicating himself on you.

‘Are you alright, Lars?’

He nodded into the pillow and reached out toward you, and you wasted no time crawling back up to lay beside him. He dropped an arm around your middle and you stayed there in silence until he caught his breath.

‘Did that feel good?’

‘Yeah,’ he mumbled against your shoulder, ‘really good. Thank you.’

‘I can’t wait to have those fingers inside me,’ you said, quiet and seductive. ‘I might have been telling you what to do, but those things work magic. I can tell.’

Lars flushed again, an idea breaking through the dissipating haze of arousal.

‘Until then, do you want to… could I- could I tell you how I’d do it? To- to you?’

You smiled. ‘I’d love you to.’

*+ Ships +*

So that there’s no surprises, here’s a running list of ships in this AU - it’s pretty much the same as canon and I’ll mention which ones end / what will be the endgame ships!

Main Characters ——————///

Ladybug & Adrien

Brief and innocent

Comfort and fluff

Not endgame nor dating - occurs briefly

Marinette & Chat Noir

Angst and rebellion (and more angst)

comfort/hurt

Heartbroken babies find unsuspecting comfort in each other

Always gave off “best friend” vibes — someone they can talk about their relationship problems to

Not endgame, nor do they date, but they have a sort of healing situationship for awhile

Marinette & Adrien

Sweet and healing

Forbidden love - it’s like the world doesn’t want them to work — especially because they have to lie to each other constantly.

Not endgame, but they do date for a while until they mutually agree, painfully, that it’s not in the cards for them - more angst

Ladybug & Chat Noir

Forbidden, secret love

Comfort/hurt

Endgame - they realize that the only people they can trust is each other

Adrien & Chloe

Trauma bond, emotional instability, situationship

Chloe craves the attention that her mother never gave her, Adrien is trying to escape from the grief of his mom’s death.

Ends early on: Adrien tells her that everything he was doing was just to make her happy. Chloe becomes upset because she wasn’t trying to take advantage of him and his emotional state, as she is broken too.

They both don’t have romantic feelings for each other and stay close friends. Chloe becomes protective of Adrien since she doesn’t want that to happen to him again.

Turns into a sibling-like relationship

Adrien & Kagami

Rebellion, understanding

Adrien is trying to run away from his feelings for Ladybug; Kagami finally finds the first person she can relate to and mistakes it for love.

They date for a little bit but Kagami is hurt about Adrien’s avoidance in the relationship. Kagami ends things but eventually returns in friendship once she figures out that she only loved the idea and perfection of Adrien — not Adrien himself (this would explain how she falls for Felix genuinely without it appearing like a rebound)

Marinette and Luka

Comfort/hurt

Marinette is running away from her feelings for Adrien, and Luka is there to catch her.

They date casually for a little bit, before Luka becomes concerned with Marinette’s avoidance in the relationship.

They mutually end things, and Luka tries to be okay with this. He’s secretly hurt, but more than anything, he just wants Marinette to be happy. Marinette wants Luka to be with someone who deserves him, and she knows that in her state, she can’t be that person.

Felix and Kagami

Enemies to lovers to partners in crime

Yeah Kagami falls for the antihero because she admires how bold and rebellious he is. Felix falls for Kagami because he admires how ruthfully truthful she is

Endgame ship

Gabriel x Nathalie

All of the freaking angst

Nathalie devotes her life to him, his cause, and his son

Gabriel finds comfort in Nathalie as he goes through the grieving process

Don’t ask them, they’ll deny it (probably endgame but we’ll see)

Other Character Ships ———///

Ivan & Mylene

Power couple that’s going to make a greener earth

Juleka & Rose

Gave off a sister vibe at first and then figured out they were actually in love

Marc & Nathan

Will make a husband and husband’s comic book about Ladybug and Chat Noir

Kim & Ondine

The mermaid couple

Not endgame - Ondine deserves better

Luka & ??? — leaning towards Chloe

I really want this good lad to be happy because he deserves it, but I can’t figure out who he’d be happy with.

The ship Chloe/Luka is kind of growing on me — post-Chloe’s character arc of course. I kind of like the thought of him being the calm to her storm, and her aggressively sticking up for him because he’s too chill to correct the mistakes of others. Ie she would call over the waiter and complain they got his order wrong and he would just be in the corner like “hey I said it was fine you don’t have to do that for me.” And with her, she would be about to get super angry and frustrated, and he would just be like “shh, listen to the music in the room” or some shit, or even just grab her hand and ground her, helping her arc. She needs someone to calm her and give her affection, and he deserves a woman that’s going to fight for him.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Zoe & ????? — leaning towards Ondine (or Aurore)

I want to establish a side character for Zoe, leaning toward her having a relationship with Ondine just on the basis of listening to the song “boyfriend” by Dove Cameron—

Ondine saying “fuck you” to Kim and running away happily and gay. Fuck Kim lmao

[nyan-koii]

Hii! Do you have any recs of sebschumi fics or content on tumblr? Or like literally anything; pictures, interviews? I'm new to this duo and I'm lacking the content. :(

HI ANON !! SO SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY I HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL 💖

Thank you so so much for this question. I genuinely squealed and teared up when i saw this. Im happy theyre getting more acknowledgement and that you're willing to learn more about them !! For starters, they dont have much contents at all and most of them are quite difficult to find but i've gathered some of them that will help you to understand why this ship and their bond between one another beats every other seb's pairings 🙏 it's quite a long thread because i want to pull you down into this hole hehehehhehehehe

Tumblr contents

1. @/effervescentdragon post of hero worshipping and yearning

: this emotional heart wrenching web weaving about sebschumi is so incredible as it gives you an insight of how they both work and play out in each other's life from the first time seb saw michael at the karting club and the times when seb reminiscence about his past with michael. This was the last straw that made me realise that sebschumi deserves so so much if not more than sebmark ngl. Everything just hurts and they did it so well with the web weaving!!

2. @/schumi-honey post about germancedes and how michael always chooses seb at the end of the day

: now this one is REALLY REALLY INTERESTING FOR ME BECAUSE michael, being in a team that gave brawn their world champion, jean todt asking him to come back into said team with a potentially wdc teammate who is also half german half finnish but races under the german flag will still find and choose sebastian vettel at the end of the day. If that doesnt sound crazy to you then i'm sorry but you're missing out. The post is incredible as it shows how does michael act with a person, and with sebastian. He changes completely !! Thats true love man.

3. @/andromedasummer post about mary sue seb

: this one gives a view of how sebastian is totally the y/n in his life story and when that moment of truth comes to your realization, you just gotta go like DAMN this kid is lucky af because a wdc michael, the pride of german at that time chooses SEBASTIAN VETTEL to be his successor among all other kids, Michael that said "this 12 year old is making my life difficult! He's so fast," to Gerhard who will later on recruit him under redbull sponsorship. Crazy right? It's like Seb is the chosen one in Michael's life. The one that will continue his legacy (people have been calling and referring him as 'baby schumi') and the one that will eventually become one of his closest friend on and outside the grid. And we also got this from the post which has never left my mind after reading it and never failed to make me cry... they both are so superior and connected with each other... red string of fate type of dynamic is so strong here....

4. Kart Club Kerpen Sebschumi

: this just means a lot to me because michael and seb first met here and to see them karting with each other, laughing and getting so so comfortable around each other's presence shows how much they've grown while indirectly growing up with one another. SEBSCHUMI YOU'RE MY WORLDDDD

5. Pranksters Sebschumi

: It's just so so fun and refreshing to see their dynamics in this one. Michael and seb being menances, partners in crime everytime they're spotted together and how seb will do anything michael asked him to even if it means causing riot in other's life,,, LIKE???? I CANT BELIEVE THESE GAYS OMG but yeah, their dynamics are soooo good i love them so much 💖

6. Recent Seb interview about Michael

: this iirc was during that time where seb did a test with porsche and then we got this interview saying how seb just misses michael which he refers to as a friend.... my heart broke im telling you i cant handle it😞 michael also said that he was glad to found seb in his life and that in his world full of ego, seb is the only one that he feels genuine to be with which michael also labelled their relationship as something special. SHOOT ME ALREADY KILL ME IM IN TEARS RIGHT NOW DAWGGG

Fic recs

Onto the good part now☺ keep in mind that we barely have any fics about them so please if any of you guys have ideas for them, dont be afraid to share it to ao3 <3 because I WILL BE THE PERSON THAT WILL THOROUGHLY ENJOY IT THE MOST LIKE I'LL BE YOUR NO 1 FAN !!! And please dont forget to comment and leave kudos to them 🙏

1. Never have I ever by Tianvette

: theres this unspoken rule created by god tianvette regarding sebschumi and honestly, it really really shaped them both into so much more because like,, that headcanon? That fanon?? It's canon now because ONLY MICHAEL CAN CALL SEBASTIAN AS "BASTI" AND NO ONE ELSE GETS TO CALL HIM THAT 🙏 so thank you to this fic for making them more special than ever.

2. Im sorry by @/n-ico-ando

: OKAY OKAY OKAY THIS IS ACTUALLY THE FIC THAT MADE ME GOT INTO OLD F1 FANDOM, SEBASTIAN VETTEL AND SEBSCHUMI ITS JUST SO GOOD OKAY?!?!? JUST READ IT AND YOU'LL GET WHAT I MEAN I LOVE THIS FIC WITH MY WHOLE LIFE IT CHANGED ME TO A BETTER PERSON AURGGHGHSHAJSA VERY VERY NORMAL WITH THIS ONE,, I SWEAR.... MY BIBLE MY CAUSE OF EUPHORIA

3. I'm gonna take mind of you with me by @/likethegardensofbabylonn

: this fic is ongoing but GOSH GOSH GOSH OH GOD THE WAY I SCREAMED WHEN I FIRST READ IT. The settings took place with seb remembering his memories with michael before and after the accident so yeah, if you need a good heartbreaking and gut wrenching story about angsty sebschumi, this is the one because it's just so perfect with seb's thoughts his internal conflicts and how the author makes a great interpretations on seb's character. This fic feels so close to me because of how true and close the whole settings and narrations sound like with my thoughts so yes, it's something you should invest your time and think of everytime someone said sebschumi.

4. Use me Use me (cause i ain't no average groupie) by @/horn-knee-demons-anonymous

: I HAVE NO WORDS FOR THIS FIC EXCEPT THAT HOW BRILLIANT AND ALLURING THE STORY IS. I've always wanted a seb harem fic with sebschumi as the endgame considering of the drought ive been facing so when this fic came, it's as if god has heard my prayers because truly this fic alongside with the author herself, my guiding moonlight and the stars of my night, are just god given with how much they changed the trajectory of my life and im so glad i met her and able to read her works. The worldbuilding, the consistency in every single characters, the dynamics, their interactions and every single wordings here leaves you wanting for more and makes you feel like you're on the edge of your seat! It's like "am i allowed to be reading this for free!?!?" But really, this is a masterpiece so please give them all of your love and be there while it's still ongoing <3

5. Hurts by Molly_lovers1

: as a fan of dead dove with a huge favouritism of age gap and underage characters, i was super happy when i first read this fic mainly because of the struggle, the push and pull dynamics between sebschumi and their guilt ridden thoughts as well as their burning desire that makes this feels so so good yet vile to be reading. It's that kind of fic where i jerked off to every night while thinking about it lolll BUT IM SO SO SO NORMAL ABOUT IT.

6. How to treat a guest by yours truly

: shameless self promo but i was trying to spread my sebschumika agenda here☺💖 i hope you get the vision too hehe !!

Videos

The complete compilations of all known sebschumi sources can be found here though it doesnt cover much of the roc contents but still!! This one is a really really good guide for them both 🥰

Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel Compilation

And ROC 2007 cuts of sebastian vettel because this was their first race together as a teammate, michael had just retired and he brought a newly fresh boy as his team to compete against all the other drivers. If that's not love and bias then i dont know what to say because oh god, this does so much to me as a person who worships sebschumi everyday.

Roc 2007 Sebastian Vettel Cuts

Articles

I cant put pictures anymore so this is all for now !! I hope by the end of this post, everyone will become and realize the true power of sebschumi 🥰🙏🔥🔥

[crimson0lake]

BSD characters as parents! pt4

Pt1 - Pt2 - Pt3 - Pt4 - Pt5 - Pt6 - Pt7 - Pt8

Masterlist

A.n: another two character is gone, tbh I'm not sure about Dazai and Chuuya ones, I'm kinda scared to get comments about if I mischaracterized them, they are still worked on- images from BSD manga

Characters: Yosano and Kouyou

Warnings: mentioned physical relationship, nothing more

Yosano:

Marriage or not? Marriage. She is probably don't like any one time things, Agency won't let her do something like that as well even for a mission. Or she found the baby on her doorstep/ abandoned in a alley

even then there's a chance she won't take the baby and bring them to an orphanage, if she found them. But her concern would make her visit the child, if the orphanage was bad, she would take the child with slight hesitation but if it's good her concern slowly falls calm and she would visit one or two times more before stop visiting

She is the Doctor mother, who may or may not teach her child about how to do first aid-

If it's a boy, he would remind her of Ranpo: if it's a girl, she would remind Yosano about her past. I don't think she would act different to different gender still.

She probably give her tie to her child, most important things for her together.. she was happy that her child carrying it around.

She is some kind of strict with her child, not too strict to be uncomfortable or bother her child's private life but she still teach them to be disciplined.

She doesn't need to warn them or punish them, her glare would make her child immediately behave.

Ranpo is the first friend and babysitter of the child, she probably has doubts and worries about leaving the one child with a child like adult but she trusts Ranpo.

Fukuzawa is the grandpa- (again). Like in Ranpo's part, he would teach them about traditional ways. Like sitting and wearing yukata.

She would teach her child, her signature death glare.. now agency scared of both of them-

She wants her child away from Mafia things, and probably away from some of her agency work. She would tell them she is a doctor in the agency and some stories and missions she go to, but nothing can related to Mafia.

Whatever her child grow up to be she would be proud and still protective of them. Only if they are in bad side (like mafia or criminal world) she is disappointed and angry. Both angry at her child but mostly angry at herself of what she did bad to make her child get in crime world.

She would have tons of baby, toddler, and childhood pictures of her baby, she won't let her child's future partner go without seeing her baby's bath pictures-

She is overlay protective, strict but loving parent. Who don't show her love so much but her child knows she love them dearly..

Kouyou:

Marriage or not? Like every character in port Mafia, there's a chance they might get into physical relationship for gain what they need and want. Kouyou is not an exception as well. Mafia probably won't let her get married (cause her last partner tried to run away from Mafia with her) so the child's probably either from a physical relationship or an orphan she found/ given under her.

Marriage or not, she loves her child. If it's from a physical relationship, she might not want to take the child. Not that she don't love the baby, no no, she adores them, but she is scared that Mafia get harm to her child.

But her worries about Mafia taking her child down if she abandon them was more so she ends up taking them. She still informed Mori about it, which he probably let her (in the end that's another reason Kouyou couldn't leave the mafia and another thing he can use to manipulate her)

She don't care about gender, but if it's a girl she might get more guard up and protective of her if Mori's around-

She is caring, very protective (not much to make her child uncomfortable, mostly towards Mafia and strangers) and traditional.

She thinks about running away from Mafia to protect her child but she knows she can't. She won't risk her precious child

Her child wears yukata or kimono like her most of the time, their hair is cutted and made traditionally. She teaches them to respectful to everything and gratfull to what they have.

Chuuya is the first friend and babysitter of the child, he sometimes brings fast food to the child when Kouyou not looking or let him

The child probably had meet with Mori before, Mori won't act bad towards what he can use so they get along with Elise and Elise became their second friend in the Mafia.

Men under Kouyou knows about her child and they respect her child as much as they respect her

She can't leave Mafia but she wants her child to be in good side, so might request about her child to get hidden and stay in good side from Dazai.

She remembers everything her child say, how they accidentally told her Chuuya get them a burger, or how they find flowers and make a flower crown for her, which she hides always alongside with her child's gifts in a box

Overall maybe she can't leave Mafia, but she would rise her child to be good, respectfull and always kind.

evan and pandora rosier sibling thoughts bc i cannot sleep and i love them both too much

they were both always on the edges of each of their friend groups growing up, so they became each others' best friends, even if they never acknowledged it out loud until they were older

at one point when they were kids they shared a room and had bunk beds. pandora was on the top, and would throw pillows at evan on the bottom bunk when he'd snore

pandora is just a tiny bit older, but she takes the role of older sister very seriously. she's sweet most of the time, but if anyone messes with her baby brother, you'll see an entirely new side of her

BUT, when they would play fight, pandora could kick evan’s ass. and evan was *always* the one to call for their mom first. and even when they got older and evan grew taller than pandora, she could still take him down and he’ll always be a little afraid of her

they're partners in crime and scheme to get what they want from their parents or teachers or anyone really

they would BICKER. but they both loved it, too, since they're competitive with each other. their parents would get so annoyed at them for yelling back and forth, but they were just having fun even if they were lowkey aggravated with each other. then pandora would try to officially end the argument and apologize, but evan would just roll his eyes and buy her a smoothie or somethin and that would be that.

evan was always jealous of pandora for her good grades and wanted to be as smart as her, but pandora would’ve done anything to be as effortlessly charming and confident like her brother

as much as evan pretends not to care, he loves hearing pandora constantly say she loves him and is proud of him. she knows this, which is why she says it all the time

Omnes Sumus Peccatores: Love is Rich with Both Honey and Venom

Chapter 4: Theia

Solara/Theia belong to @thoughtfullyrainynightmare , as do a couple of quotes in this chapter. The Zera and William scenes in this chapter are partially taken from chapters 3 and 6 of her Mafia AU fic called "Omnes Sumus Peccatores - Ex Igni Natus", please go check it out, it's amazing (and also helps to give context to Zera and Solara's meeting!

Word Count: 3,990

Warnings: Mentions of typical mafia things (such as selling weapons, money laundering, prostitution, etc).

————

Outside Conference room A in the Kikka Hotel

Zera took a deep, calming breath as her stomach churned repeatedly while standing on the other side of the conference room door.

Was her stomach churning because of nerves? Or was it because of morning sickness? Perhaps it was because of both?

Both. It was both.

While she was born and raised in this environment, she wasn’t very involved in it aside from attending parties and healing members of The Family. She didn’t deal with the business like her father and brother’s did; in fact, she did her best to avoid it even though she was a ‘smooth talker’ according to them.

But now that she was becoming the wife of ‘The King’ of the Golden Dawn, the leader of one of the highest ranking Mafia Families in Clover City, she felt that there was no way she could avoid the business side anymore.

Especially if she wanted to become a good and suitable partner for William.

“ It’ll be fine! Just pretend that you’re having tea with your friends,” Zera tried to tell herself as she took another calming breath.

“ Yeah…yeah it’ll be fine! William wouldn’t have sent you here by yourself if he felt that it was super dangerous to you and the baby, right?”

With that thought in mind, she cleared her throat, dusted off her skirt, and pushed the door handle down and opened the door.

….

Later, after meeting with Theia

Zera got into her car, closed the door, and let out a sigh of relief as she leaned back against the driver's seat.

Who would have thought that ‘Theia’ was her old high school friend, Solara Equinox? She nearly laughed, she had gotten herself all worked up and anxious for nothing!

However, even though doing business with one of her high school best friends made things a lot easier, it was still a business meeting at the end of the day.

“And… you’re looking to make a deal with the Golden Dawn?” Zera’s tone was inquiring, but there was an underlying tone of wonder, almost as if she was questioning it. 

“Actually…” Solara uttered, half sighed, “if I can be perfectly honest…”

“I was hoping to make deals with all the… groups, in Clover.”

Zera let out a quiet sigh as Solara’s words from their meeting repeated in her mind; while it made sense to form alliances with all of the mafia families in Clover, at the same time it was extremely dangerous.

Building alliances in this world was like building a house of cards; one wrong move, one misstep, and the whole thing could come crashing down.

But unlike a house of cards where nothing happened if it came crashing down, in this world, when the house of cards comes crashing down it costs people their lives.

And the last thing Zera wanted was for her friend to lose hers.

“Well, I was thinking, or hoping that… if the company gets a footing here, we could stabilise things here to an extent by providing jobs to people. That way there wouldn’t be so much need to crime, and… well the police force would continue to be what it is, but it would still have an impact in people’s lives. A positive one. And if this office grows into a larger one, then it will be many lives that are positively impacted. Which would also be a good learning opportunity for myself when it comes to taking charge of the whole EEN someday.”

It was an idealistic, borderline naïve hope; however, it was also built on logic.

To make her hope a reality, she would need to ally herself with the people who ran this city, which were the mafia families.

Zera let a small, fond smile appear on her face; she could see Solara’s vision, and silently hoped that maybe, just maybe, it could come to fruition.

No, she would make sure that it did!

She was suddenly pulled out of her thoughts as her phone began to ring, and when she looked down at the caller I.D she saw it was William.

“ Hello darling, I was just about to call you~!” She began as soon as she answered the call.

“ Oh, so you’re out of the meeting?” William asked, his tone sounding genuinely surprised.

“ I am.” She confirmed as she started her car and began to pull out of the hotel’s parking lot.

There was a slight, hesitating pause between them.

“ How…did it go?” He eventually asked, his voice going from surprised to unsure, but she could also hear tinges of worry laced in his tone too.

“ Actually, it went surprisingly well, thanks to the info you and Langris gave me.” Zera said with a cheerfulness to her voice.

“ Though none of the info you two gave me said anything about Theia being an old high school friend of mine!” She mentally added before she heard a sigh of relief leave her fiancé.

“ That’s a relief,” He muttered softly, which made her giggle.

“ Aw, were you worried about me~?” Zera asked as she began to drive down the street towards the Doré Lounge.

“ I-,” William paused for a moment. “ Knew you could handle it.”

She let out a skeptical hum.

“ Really? You weren’t at all worried about me and this meeting?” She asked curiously as she stopped at a red light.

“ I always worry about you,” William admitted softly, which made Zera’s heart skip a beat. “ But I had absolute faith in you, and since you said it went well, I can see that it was not misplaced.”

She suddenly felt her cheeks burn at his words; this wasn’t the first time he complimented her, and she knew it wouldn’t be the last time either, but there was something…different about this one. It made her feel warm and tingly as though he had just told her she was the most beautiful and sexy woman he had ever seen.

And all he said was that his faith in her wasn’t misplaced!

“ Zera?” William said on the other side of the phone, pulling her out of her thoughts. “ Is everything alright?”

“ Yep! Everything’s fine!” She said as she started driving again.

“ Anyway, we can talk more about my meeting when we see each other later. How was your meeting with Yami and Charlotte?”

She heard William sigh again, but this time it sounded completely exhausted.

“ It was…eventful,” He muttered, and she could just imagine him pinching his brow.

“ Apparently, one of our clubs, one of Charlotte’s girls, and one of Yami’s bank accounts are all being investigated for potential ‘illegal activity related to prostitution.’.”

Zera scoffed.

“ Let me guess; leading the investigation is Detective Dante Zogratis.” She said as she turned down a side street that would lead her towards the back entrance of Doré Lounge.

“ Along with his brother, Zenon Zogratis.” William sighed.

She rolled her eyes and also let out an annoyed sigh; ever since she turned Dante down at that party all those years ago, he had it out for William and the Golden Dawn and would make up any and all excuses to investigate them and their clubs.

But now he was getting his youngest sibling, Detective Zenon Zogratis, who was known for being the coldest of the siblings, involved.

It was concerning, but also extremely annoying.

“ Well, we’ll just have to be extra careful then, won’t we?” Zera said as parked behind the club.

William chuckled on the other end of the phone.

“ Indeed.”

Elsewhere in Clover

“ Never turn your back on the enemy.”

Yuno watched as Neva clicked a button on the side of her taser that released the wired prongs before she put it behind her back again.

“ I had them.” He told her with a deadpan expression, and he watched as her lips twitched up in a bit of a smirk.

“ Of course you did, Ace.” She replied, her tone nearly sounding amused as she walked back over to the old man.

Yuno sighed and shook his head, he really hated that ‘code-name’. It almost sounded…pretentious, in a way…he would rather her and the others in the Golden Dawn to call him by his given name.

“ This world we live in is dangerous, which is why we use code-names, to protect our real identities. I guess one could say we’re like super heros, or maybe more like…anti-heroes.”

That was what William, otherwise known as ‘The King’, had told him when he asked about it after he first joined.

“ Are you okay?” Neva asked softly as she leaned down to help the old man up.

Yuno quickly rushed towards them and also helped the old man to stand.

“ Yes, I’m okay, thanks to you two.” The old man said as he dusted himself off.

“ Well…it’s what you pay us for.” Neva muttered as she rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly.

The old man chuckled as he nodded in agreement.

“ Speaking of, today’s collection day, so we need your dues for the month. Plus extra for today.” She suddenly added, making Yuno’s head snap in her direction.

Was she serious right now?

“ Oh, you’re right, just a moment!” The old man said before turning and walking back into his shop.

Yuno glared slightly at Neva; after what the old man just went through, she was still asking him to pay the ‘protection fee’ to the Golden Dawn? He felt his earlier annoyance and anger about the mafia families bubble up again.

This world…it really earned its reputation at moments like this.

The old man walked out of his shop and towards Neva, and just as Yuno opened his mouth to say something, he stopped.

In the old man’s hand was a lone five Yul bill and a piece of hard candy that appeared to be strawberry flavored.

“ Here’s the payment for the month, plus extra, as requested!” The old man said cheerfully, but then his gaze shifted to Yuno and he walked over to him.

“ Oh, I didn’t forget about you either; here’s your extra payment as well!” The old man added as he opened his hand and placed something inside.

When Yuno looked down into his hand, he saw a green piece of hard candy with the words ‘Green Apple Flavored!’ on the wrapper.

“ Thanks. Same time next month?” Neva asked as she put the five Yul bill into the duffle bag.

The old man nodded.

“ Indeed! Give the King my regards, won’t you?”

She quickly nodded before throwing the bag to Yuno.

“ Will do.” She replied as she gave him a small wave before she and Yuno began to walk down the street again.

As the two walked down the street, he couldn’t help but be confused by what he just witnessed; the due they collected from the old man was only five dollars? That didn’t make sense business wise.

“ Something on your mind again, Ace?” Neva suddenly asked as she put the strawberry flavored hard candy into her mouth.

Yuno stopped walking and turned to face her.

“ Why was his fee so low?” He asked, his tone was in its usual deadpan tone, but there were also hints of curiosity in it.

Neva stopped walking as well and turned to face him.

“ Because it was all he could afford to spare,” She replied, her tone calm and matter of fact, but her brows knitted in confusion. “ Didn’t the others tell you that?”

When he shook his head, she sighed in irritation.

“ Of course they didn’t, those idiots,” She muttered under her breath as she crossed her arms.

“ The shops in this area don’t make a lot, and most of them are run by the elderly, single parents, or people who have fallen on hard times,” She began to explain. “ They don’t have much, and they don’t make a lot during the month, so they can’t afford high protection fees like other places.”

“ Which is why we only take what they can afford to give. Whether it’s five, ten, or a hundred yul, or even just a couple of pieces of hard candy… we only take what they can afford to give.” She concluded.

But Yuno’s frown only deepened.

“ Then, doesn’t that mean we’re operating at a loss in this area? Why would we do that since it’s ‘bad business’?”

Neva half shrugged.

“ We are operating at a loss here,” She confirmed. “ But what we lose in this area we more than make up for in the weapons business and the clubs.”

“ And while, from a business standpoint, it would make sense for us to kick everyone out and redevelop it into luxury clubs, bars, or hotels…the King would rather take the financial hit then do that.”

“ Why?” Yuno asked, and he watched as she turned away from him to face the various stalls that lined the sides of the street.

“ Because… It's special to him.” She replied softly, and he could have sworn he saw a brief smile try to work it’s way onto her lips.

Yuno’s gaze followed her’s to look back down the street; a cold, fearsome Mafia leader who was also sentimental and warm to people who have less than him… it was strange, confusing, and also contradictory to everything he had heard about the mobs.

“ Wasn’t the answer you were expecting?” Neva suddenly asked with a raised brow, pulling Yuno out of his thoughts.

He turned to look at her and shook his head.

“ Not really.” He replied honestly, causing her eyes to widen in surprise.

“ Seriously?! So you just think the mafia’s are cold, heartless organizations that take advantage of the weak while making thousands off of them?” Neva asked, her voice raising in surprise.

Yuno half shrugged.

“ Kind of.”

She gaped at him like a fish out of water for a moment before she sighed dramatically and shook her head.

“ Geez if that’s your answer on the Golden Dawn and other families, I can only imagine how you were going to answer my question earlier.” She muttered as she suddenly began to walk away.

Yuno’s frown appeared on his face when he suddenly remembered what she was referring to:

“ So, you’re not even a little bit worried that the same thing could happen to you?”

He quickly followed Neva.

“ The answer to your question is no, I’m not worried that you’ll do to me what you did to your previous partner,” He answered as he came up beside her.

She once again stopped, and turned to him with a frown on her face.

“ Why? I mean, you barely know me…” Neva trailed off, her voice soft and full of confusion.

Yuno stared at her for a moment; to be perfectly honest, he wasn’t really sure himself. Earlier, when she had first asked him that question, his answer was going to be the same as it was now.

Except, this time, he had a bit of an inkling as to why he believed she wouldn’t harm him the same way as she did her previous partner.

“ Because…you’re good.”

Neva stared at him in surprise as he suddenly began to walk away from her.

Because…she was good? What the hell did that mean? There wasn’t anything ‘good’ about her!

At least, not in her mind…

“ Hey wait up! We still have a few more shops to go to before we go back to the Golden Dawn!” She exclaimed as she chased after him.

————

Later that evening at the Doré Lounge

The loud, thumping music that reverberated through the club walls slowly floated up to the top floor that was meant exclusively for VIPs and the Golden Dawn, however, it still didn’t manage to reach William’s ears due to his mind being elsewhere.

“ The Zogratises are becoming even more bold it seems,” He mused as he watched the many patrons of the club dance and move around on the dance floor.

Initially, they had been subtle in their movements, maybe they were just testing the waters to see how the Families would all react? But at the same time, Lucius was known for preferring to keep his cards close to his chest, which was how he was able to become the best detective in Clover City, because none of the people he arrested even realized they were being investigated to begin with.

So for Dante and Zenon to suddenly become so bold…something must’ve changed.

“ Knock knock~!” A familiar voice said from the doorway, and when William turned around he saw his wife standing there.

“ Am I interrupting?” Zera asked as she closed the door behind her and walked further into the room.

He quickly shook his head as he walked away from the glass window overlooking the club and towards the plush white couch that sat in the center of the room.

“ Not at all, I was just admiring the view,” He lied as he sat down on the couch, his right leg crossing over his left one.

Her eyes narrowed, and she crossed her arms as she walked over to the couch that sat opposite of her husbands.

“ Liar.”

William chuckled and shook his head.

“ Anyway, what did you and Theia discuss during your meeting?” He asked, and he watched his wife’s features soften.

“ Oh you know, this and that,” She said vaguely, which made his eyes narrow in confusion.

“ Theia is an old high school friend of mine, so we had some catching up to do before conducting business.” Zera explained with another chuckle, and that made William’s brows shoot up in surprise.

Theia was an old friend of Zera’s? Why didn’t any of the files Langris found say any of that? Could it be that the Equinox Exchange hid that information to protect them?

It would make sense, and to be honest, William would probably do the same if he were them.

“ That’s…surprising.” He admitted softly, and he watched her nod in agreement.

“ It was, but her plan and offer was a lot more surprising.” She muttered softly as she glanced out the window.

William titled his head.

“ Oh?”

Zera nodded slowly.

“ It’s ambitious, a little naïve, but also very dangerous; however, I think she’ll be able to pull it off.” She told him softly as she looked back at him, and William leaned forward as he listened to her.

“ And what is this ambitious, naïve, but very dangerous plan?” He asked, his voice soft but also very serious.

“ Theia…wants to conduct trade with all of the Families in Clover, not just us. And in doing so she wants to improve the lives of the citizens here, while also attracting new revenue streams for them and supplying those on the other side of the crooked law enforcement, otherwise known as the Families.”

William slowly nodded as he listened to her explain her friend’s plan before finally the words settled in his mind and he just stared at Zera.

“ Are you serious?” He asked her in complete disbelief.

“ I’m as serious as a broken penis.” She replied, once again making him stare at her before he suddenly stood up and began to pace.

“ Look, I know it sounds insane, but-!” Zera tried to explain, but he quickly cut her off.

“ It’s very, very insane!” He corrected her as he continued to pace.

Zera rolled her eyes, let out an annoyed sigh, and stood up before walking towards him.

“ Please don’t interrupt, Will, I’m tired, nauseous, and not in the mood for an argument,” She said as her eyes narrowed and she held up her hand.

“ I know it’s…an ambitious plan that could easily go sideways if there is a single misstep, but, I really think it can be done,” She continued as she took a breath and stood in front of her fiancé.

“ Like…I’m sure she may not be able to make a deal with all of the families, but most of us use the same suppliers for things anyway, so why can’t she get into contact with more families than just us? And besides, unlike our other suppliers, she isn’t intending to supply us with anything illegal per se; she’s more or less supplying us with items that we can use however we see fit.”

William’s brows knitted together in a confused frown, but he let her continue.

“ As in, if we choose to use them for less than lawful things, and get caught, then she can claim plausible deniability, which also works in our favor; because as long as our main source of goods isn’t cut off, we can always change our aliases and contacts on paper to continue doing business with them.” Zera concluded with a small shrug.

He stared at her for probably the third or so time this evening, except this time it wasn’t in shock or disbelief, it was in concession; she made many good and valid points that he couldn’t really argue against.

Eventually, William sighed.

“ You have a point,” He muttered, and a small smile appeared on his face when she clapped her hands together excitedly.

“ Yeah?” Zera asked, and he couldn’t help but chuckle before nodding.

“ Yes. You made an excellent point,” He agreed, which made her clap her hands again in excitement. “ but may I ask, what makes you trust her?”

She let out a quiet hum.

“ Well, does her being my old friend count?” She asked, and when she saw the look in his eyes, she realized that no, that didn’t count. And she pouted in response.

Zera turned away from him and once again looked out the large glass window.

“ I trust her because she’s a good business woman. Her plan is ambitious, but it’s also built in logic; she knows it’s dangerous if she doesn’t play her cards right, however, she has plans on how to mitigate that. She’s going to treat us all fairly and price us all at equal amounts, because she knows if she shows any sort of favoritism it could spell disaster for her. And considering we all have a common enemy…” She trailed off as she glanced over at him.

“ The Zogratises.” William muttered firmly as he turned to also look out the window.

“ Exactly,” She confirmed with a nod.

He let out a quiet hum as he replayed Zera’s words in his mind over and over again.

“ So, essentially, as long as we all have the funds to buy the supplies, and in equal amounts, then all of the Families will be priced fairly?”

“ Well, there’s more than one way to pay for supplies that doesn’t include money,” She told him as she turned away from the window.

“ Favors.” William finished her sentence, and she nodded in confirmation.

“ Yep.”

“ But isn’t that a bit of a gamble?” He asked as he turned away from the window to face her.

Zera smirked.

“ It is. But then again, isn’t all business a gamble? Especially in our line of work?” She asked with a quirked brow, making William speechless once again.

Again, she had a point.

But still, was this a gamble he was willing to take? Especially with the Zogratises already beginning to breath down his neck, and when he had so much more to lose now?

“ I…need to think about it,” William eventually told her, his voice soft but also warm.

She slowly nodded before she walked up to him and rested her head on his shoulder.

“ Understandable. Theia said to take as long as we need, and to call her when we’ve made our decision.” Zera said as she handed him Theia’s business card.

William wrapped his arm around his fiancé’s waist and kissed the top of her head before taking the business card and putting it into his suit pocket.

“ Now, can we go home~? I’m exhausted and I think my brain is fried from today.” She suddenly whined as she turned to look at him.

He chuckled again before nodding and giving her a quick kiss.

“ Yes, let’s go home.”

Take all the time you need hun! I don’t wanna make you feel rushed or anything, life is always busy 💞💞💞

What song are you fixated on at the moment? What lyric or verse, and why?

Both Over & Over by Rio Romeo and Again&Again by The Bird and the Bee, those two songs have been stuck in my head recently, it fits this fear I have in my mind that I’m never truly growing or I’m never actually gonna leave where I am, that I’ll always fall victim to habit and paranoia 💃🏽 also I just ADORE my meloncholy depressing songs lol but that’s not very heehee haha of me soooo Spider Web by Melanie Martinez bc it has the sound of a Coqui in it (I’m Puerto Rican) or River is a Vampire by Bear Ghost and Dan ET bc it’s just the vampiric version of that one meme “How you do my fellow kids” and it kills me

• What is your Enneagram type?

I think I’m a type 4? but I do know I’m an ENFP!

• Do you love gargantuan Youtube video essays, and if so, which is your favorite and why?

God I haven’t watched a video essay in AGES but I used to love them, but idk what gargantuan is </3 but I typically like video essays about internet history or crime cases, or of shows I enjoy (like MLP)

• Tell me about your childhood imaginary friend.

SHE WAS A CHEETAH WHO WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME NO MATTER WHAT!!! I would pet her, talk to her, and she’d keep me company when everyone would isolate me/avoid me bc I was ‘too weird’. She was just a big ass cat that would keep me company and run by the cars side to make sure I and my family was safe. She protected me 💞 (thank you for making me remember her 🥹)

• What is your go-to way to fall asleep?

Getting on call with my partner, I’m rather clingy and just wanna spend time with them even if it’s just silence or sleepy rambling, it also keeps me from doom scrolling. If not on call with them I’ll put on RSlash or Gavin’s/Davids sleep aid and hope that knocks me out (and if not that a ba LMFAO-) also if I have Lavender, I put it under/rub it all over my pillow and plushies

• If you had to change your name, what would it be, and why? (In tandem, if you have changed your name, why did you pick that one?)

Im genderfluid/gendervoid so I’ve tried many names, I do like my birth name, it means Loyal Protector/Pledge, so I wanted to find names that mean loyalty or music related names, but one name I’ve been using recently is Quincy, it feels nice sometimes, my partner suggested it to me.

• What is your favorite of Redacted's audios, and why?

Sam’s cuddles and confessions, it’s nice and comforting. That or Cataclysm in general, I fucking LOVE Cataclysm, I love relistening to it. Also any audio that involves Caelum I love that boy dearly

• What Redacted boy holds no appeal to you, and why? Like, not the one you hate but the one who you don't get the hype for. (I won't judge, I promise.)

Aaron and Vincent. Despite me being a huge vampire lover, Vincent just did not catch my attention at all, Aaron just doesn’t peak my fancy aside from one of his BA’s. Also same thing for Porter, he kinda bores me 😔

• Tell me about that one book/movie/tv show you know all the words to.

When I was a little kid, it was the live action 102 Dalmatians, I KNEW THAT MOVIE LIKE THE BACK OF MY HAND!!! I FUCKING LOVED WATCHING CRUELLA BEING BAKED INTO A CAKE BY ALL THOSE DOGS. Also Oddball my beloved 💞💞💞 the sweet baby puppy, I just understood the pup for feeling like and odd one out as a grew up, I haven’t seen the movie in years now but it still holds such a special place in my heart. Now as an adult my two favorite shows are The Promised Neverland(only season 1, I’m reading the manga) and Madoka Magica. I love rewatching TPN, but Madoka I have to mentally prepare myself for cause good lord does it make me feel like I never took anti-depressants/pos and then a movie I love now, A Silent Voice. I think I do know that one scene for scene. As a kid who grew up being bullied for being different or just not doing things right, I felt strongly for the main characters. I’ve cried almost every single time I’ve watched the movie. The part where one of the characters jumped off the balcony kills me every time because it reminds me how that could’ve been me from the fresh ages of 9-16 and almost was. It just holds a special spot in my heart and helps me keep going. (I adore my sad heart wrenching shit lmfao)

• Which Redacted boy are you platonically attracted to? Like- forget dating, which dude do you want to be your best friend?

Asher and Guy, those two would be so much fun to be friends with, also with the fact I’m so similar to them, especially Asher, bro is just like me fr 💀💀💀 collars and all. Like I just wanna be that man’s friend he is so silly

• Do you have a go-to thing you ramble about when you're tired, and if so, what is it? (For example, my boyfriend knows I'm ready to sleep when | start talking about space.)

As cheesy as it is, the fact I just want everyone in the world to be okay and happy, I want us all to hold hands, hug, and not hurt. I cry during these rambles sometimes, I genuinely just want everyone to be safe and happy and it tears me up inside and out bc that’s just not possible with the world we live in. That or I just start rambling nonsense lmfao (bonus is if I start rambling about how much I love and care about the person I’m talking to)

• Tell me your go-to gas station and drink combo.

Root beer and either Hot Cheetos/Cheesy Ruffles, or spicy chicken cheese sticks, meow I’m eating the shit out of that. (But if we have the money for it, Icys specifically cherry cause it’s objectively the best flavor next to Pinacolada)

• Tell me about your favorite playlist at the moment.

Like music playlist? Currently my fave has to be either my Alexis, Quinn, or my Darlin and Quinn playlists, I love my evil people playlists and songs that represent fucked up mindsets and relationships. That or my Melancholy Comfort playlist, I enjoy my meloncholy songs.

Redacted playlist tho? Either Sam, Vega, or Caelum, Sam holds a very special place in my heart, he’s incredibly comforting and ngl I miss the less sexual audios from his earlier era. Vega just drives me feral with every new piece of info we learn, GOD I FUCKING LOVE THAT ANCIENT MAN AND THE LORE HE DROPS!!! And then Caelum’s playlist holds a special place in my heart since that was the only playlist I could listen to after finding out I was cheated on/the other woman. Helped me out a lot for about 2 months 💞

• What's your guilty pleasure media, and why?

Those shitty werewolf romance things you see on tiktok, GOD I get so fucking invested in those they’re so needlessly interesting LMFAO idc they’re cringe, I’m cringe too stfu

• And whatever else you think tells me about who you are!

I’m a huge performer! I love singing, dancing, acting, especially singing and dancing. I LIVE for the stage and positive attention, I just wanna make people smile or make people feel scene when I preform. Hopefully one day I can be famous and truly fulfill that dream of mine. I also feel emotions strongly and spent my entire childhood from middle school and up studying psychology and human behavior. Also I absolutely HATE fake people, I can’t stand when people are fake, I try to be a safe person for everyone to truly be themselves cause lord knows I always hated having to put on a mask growing up/being isolated because I didn’t fit in lmfao.

I forgot to click on anon sorry-

I adore this entry- not only did you give me so much information to work with but you’ve given me an opportunity to pair you with Lasko which I love to do.

He’s such a character in need of love, and I think you’re a perfect person to love him and be loved in return for so many reasons. He’d be an introvert to your extrovert which is always an adorable couple dynamic. You’ve mentioned a past characterized by isolation and feeling other; Lasko is uniquely situated to understand and empathize with that. You prefer true, genuine people, and Lasko is so incredibly (albeit apologetically) himself and probably incapable of being anything else.

One of the most fun activities I think you and Lasko would do together is watch anime. I like to think he’s already a fan, mostly of adventure and isekai, with some cheesy shoujo faves he’s so bashful about liking. You show him A Silent Voice, which isn’t his usual genre, and you two cry together. Another fun thing is how you’ll perform and Lasko will be in the front row every time, cheering you on. He brings you a mismatched bouquet and rambles about how he couldn’t pick a dozen of one flower, so he got a little of them all.

Song:

Cause lately it's been hard/ They're sellin' me for parts/ And I don't wanna be modern art/ But I only got half a heart to give to you/ How can you miss someone you've never seen?/ Oh, tell me, are your eyes brown, blue, or green?/ And do you like it with sugar and cream?/ Or do you take it straight, oh, just like me?

You like melancholy songs; I can provide. This is one of my favorite pining songs, and it makes me think of a young Lasko (and maybe a young you) longing for connection, love, understanding, that one person who will make the love songs finally make sense. It makes me picture Lasko just waiting for you, you know?

Runner-ups:

On the total opposite of the pairing spectrum, Hudson is one of your runner-ups because he’d be such a good match to you as a performer. I personally can’t imagine a better hype man than Hudson. I’m also picking David as a runner-up for you, because I think you two would contrast each other really cutely, in a maybe golden retriever/german shepherd way.

Read this post and send me an ask if you’d like a match-up of your own! 💌

[miscellaneousjo]

Introducing my OC: The daughter of General Hux and Captain Phasma! I haven't gotten to this part of my fanfic universe yet, but I wanted to show people my awesome OC.

Quotev Link:

Full Name: Brienne Gwendoline Hux (yes, she was named after Brienne of Tarth and Gwendoline Christie. In my AU the characters and the actors are separate people and they're all good friends with eachother, almost to the point of being siblings. Hux and Phasma also thought the name had an air of strength and sophistication to it, so yeah).

Nickname: Bri

Sex: Female

Species: Human

Homeworld(s): Arkanis, Parnassos (in my AU, at this point they're working on making Parnassos habitable again, and had made significant progress by the time she was born, so she considers both planets her home planet, even though she mostly only goes to Parnassos for family functions and vacations).

Time Period: Post-Sequel Era.

Family: Armitage Hux, Phasma (Parents), Brendol Hux(Grandfather, and yes, he's alive, unfortunately), Rae Sloane (Grandmother-figure), Keldo (Uncle), Frey (cousin), Torben, Siv, Gosta, Carr, Ylva (Aunt and Uncle figures), Torbi (Cousin-figure), Rey Skywalker, Ben Solo, Finn, Rose Tico, Poe Dameron, Zorii Bliss (Aunt and Uncle figures), Other Sequel-Squad kids (Cousin figures).(Yes, the Scyre Clan is alive and well in this AU. The people of Parnassos are very good at faking their deaths, I guess, lol. Also, as I always say, THE POWER OF FANFICTION!!!).

Relationship With Family: 

Parents: Bri loves her parents very much, and strives to make them proud, but this pressure can sometimes get to her head (This makes her similar to her cousin-figure, Hope). Her father doesn't want her to be pressured, and doesn't need her to be the best at anything in order to earn and maintain his love. Hux doesn't want his daughter to end up like him, and doesn't want her to resent him like he resents his father. Bri knows this, and doesn't resent her father one bit, but still feels pressured to be the best. Phasma spoils Bri a little, but makes sure she doesnt take it for granted: after all, Phasma didn't have any of the luxuries Bri has growing up. Phasma makes sure Bri knows how to protect herself, and Hux is always happy to help her with her homework. They're both very protective of her, as she is their only child and they don't want to lose her (they dont exactly baby her, but sometimes it can feel that way). They're not the 'rub some dirt in it' kind of parents when she gets hurt. Instead they make sure she's okay and patch her up (or if Auntie Siv is around, have her patch her up), always reminding her that what doesn't kill her only makes her stronger. 

Grandfather: Bri resents her grandfather for bullying and abusing her father. She wishes he stayed dead after her parents killed him the first time. Brendol keeps trying to insert himself into her life so he can manipulate her, but Bri and her family are having none of it. 

Grandmother-figure: ​​​​Bri looks up to Rae Sloane, and aspires to be strong and confident like her and Phasma. She also appreciates her for looking out for her father. Rae is more of a grandmother to Bri than both of her father's biological parents combined.

Uncle Keldo: ​​​Keldo is a lot more cautious and less violent than Phasma, and tries to instill these values in Bri. However, he must acknowledge that it is better to be prepared for violence, and have it not occur, than naively assume it won't happen. This is something he has learned from Phasma; its better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war (I saw that quote on Pinterest somewhere). 

Other Aunts and Uncles: Bri is very close with the entire Scyre clan, and they all dote on her, like they did for Frey. The rest of her aunts and uncles love her, and Finn especially loves telling Bri the story about how he threw her mom in the trash compactor. Phasma jokes that Finn is actually Bri's brother, which Finn hates (Bri also jokes about Finn being her brother, just to mess with him, but Finn definitely takes on a more Uncle role for her). Torben would give her piggy back rides when she was little, and can still pull it off as she gets older. Siv was usually the one to patch her up when she scraped her knee or got other injuries while visiting Parnassos.

Cousins/Cousin Figures: (Also for AU info Frey got reset to 5 when she was resurrected and Torbi got set to 3, because idk fanfiction logic). Bri looks up to Frey very much, and admires her greatly. Frey, in turn, admires her Aunt Phasma, so it's a familial zig-zag of admiration (that probably sounds stupid, lol). Frey teaches Bri how to stand up for herself and how to be confident. Bri and Torbi would play a lot with Frey growing up (or for Frey and Torbi, growing up again) and would go on 'adventures' exploring the woods surrounding the Hux estate on Arkanis, or the rocky spires of the Scyre Territory on Parnassos. They never went too far, though, at least not without an adult. Frey knew better than to wander too far from the safety of adults, and she wasn't about to put her little cousins in danger. At least, not on purpose.

-There was one incident where, while exploring the woods surrounding the Hux estate, the girls lost track of time, and before they knew it, it was dark. They got lost, and Frey ended up starting a fire to keep everyone warm while they figured out how to get back. Thankfully, they weren't gone too long, as Phasma went out and rescued the girls. She wasn't mad, but told all three girls to keep better track of time next time.

Anyway, Bri is also really close with the rest of the Sequel Squad's kids, espscially her older cousin-figure Hope Solo. They both feel they have a lot to live up to with their parents being who they are, and as they grow up, they learn from experience and eachother to not let the pressure get to them.

Friends: Frey, Torbi, all the Sequel-Squad kids. They grew up together, so it only makes sense.

Enemies: Snoke, Palps, Grampa Brendol (as she calls her paternal grandfather), Captain Cardinal.

Reason for being enemies: Snoke and Palps should be a no-brainer, for all the stuff they did to the galaxy and her family and friends. Brendol because of all the horrible things he's done to her father. Cardinal because of all the stuff he did to her mother's family as 'revenge' against Phasma (I'd recommend reading my fanfic "Star Wars Academy" to get more context, not just for this but the whole AU:

Lover: N/A (Hux and Phasma joke that she's not allowed to date until she's 30).

Appearance: Curly red hair (because any Hux must have red hair, IT'S THE LAW) that goes to about her shoulder blades. Usually she leaves it down or in a low ponytail. Sky blue eyes, with a very intense stare (like her mom). Pale skin with freckles sprinkled across her cheeks. She's about 6'2, right between her parents in height, so she's pretty tall. She's got an Amazonian build, much like her mother.

Usual Clothes: Black tanktop, fingerless gloves, armband with Norse runes (to call back to the Scyre Clan being partly inspired by viking culture). Gray camo pants with lots of pockets (to fit all your weapons, of course!), Black Combat boots. Belt with a holster for a blaster and pockets for knives (her mother taught her there's no such thing as too many weapons). On cooler days she'll wear a long sleeve black shirt and/or a black sweater. 

Accessories: Chromium cuff bracelets (think Wonder Woman's bulletproof bracelets). Pearl earrings. 

Tattoos/Birthmarks/Freckles/Moles/Scars: Freckles sprinkled across her cheeks, a few stray scars from various childhood adventures, mostly on/around her elbows and knees, with a few on her hands as well. One notable scar is on the side of her lower right leg, from scraping it really bad on one of the rocky spires on Parnassos (it ended up needing stitches, thankfully Siv wasn't too far). She has another faint one on her left cheek from falling face-first on the ground, also on Parnassos. Later on she sustains some more scars on other parts of her body from the occasional skirmishes. Phasma calls Bri's scars her 'battle scars'. 

Abilities: Bri has been trained in a variety of weapons by her mother, and seems to be best with knives. She's very skilled with blasters as well. She's also skilled at hand-to-hand combat to the point where she can break bones with her bare hands if her opponent isnt careful. She's also fairly academically smart, thanks to her father, and well-versed in battle strategy.

Personality: Bri is a very loud and bold person, and is very confident and sassy. She's quick-witted and headstrong. But deep down, she is also insecure about her abilities, and is a major perfectionist. She is always striving for perfection, and can burn herself out if she isn't stopped. She'll spend all night studying or practicing or working out, and one or both of her parents have to get her to go to bed. Sometimes her desire to prove herself can lead her to be reckless and bite off more than she can chew, and either her parents or some other family member need to come rescue her, which only furthers her insecurity. But as she and her cousin Hope grow older, they both learn to overcome their insecurities, partly from eachother. 

Introvert/Extrovert/Ambivert: Extrovert. 

Good Traits: Confident, quick-witted, headstrong, independent, smart, proud, reliable, brave, loyal, observant (especially in combat, i.e. scanning for weaknesses), hard working, 

Bad Traits: Insecure, perfectionist, a bit reckless, overly-independent, loud, sassy (sometimes coming off as sarcastic), a bit impulsive, impatient, can sometimes come off as aggressive when she's angry, overworker.

Likes: The outdoors, rock-climbing, exploring, boxing (she ends up on her school's female boxing team in her teenage years, and later becomes captain of the team, and yes, that is a reference to her mother's rank in the war), being independent and self-sufficient, action movies, history books, especially war stories, seafood, shiny things.

Dislikes: Losing her independence, failure, being not good enough, bullies, stormtrooper helmets (they block her vision, she doesnt understand how her mom could work in them), needles (not necessarily a fear, just a dislike),

Strengths: Being physically fit, she is skilled in both armed and hand-to-hand combat. She's also well-versed in battle strategy, and fairly academically intelligent.

Weaknesses: Her need to prove herself can cause her to be reckless, which can get her into trouble. Her overconfidence is her weakness (yes, that is another reference), leading her to take on more than she is capable of. She overworks to the point of being harmful.

Hobbies: Hiking, rock and tree climbing, boxing, target-practicing (blasters, throwing knives, bow & arrow, you name it), reading,

Fun Facts:

-Rumor has it her first word was 'murder'. She and her parents neither confirm nor deny this.

-When she was little she called Frey 'Frey-Frey', which everyone finds super cute.

-She's inherited her mom's appreciation for shiny things.

-She's also a major cat person (of course).

-When she was first brought home from the hospital, Millicent looked at her curiously, and then did that super cute forehead-touch thing. Immediate connection, and it's adorable.

So yeah, that's Brienne :)

all excerpts from rupi kaur’s home body

“i want someone who is  inspired by my brilliance  not threatened by it” 

in a dimly lit room after a long day's work. bon layed stretched out on her bed where she lies her head every night, staring at the ceiling lamenting a relationship she knew was never going to last. lamenting how she couldn’t be enough for him. lamenting the time she devoted to making it “work”. lamenting how she changed herself for him. 

“make it a point  to love yourself as fiercely as you do other people -commitment”

her people love her for who and how she is already, so why would it be a crime for her to do the same? 

“i am trusting the uncertainty  and believing i will  end up somewhere right and good” 

the last time she was in a relationship she was burned so badly she never thought she could do it again. because when that ended it felt like the world, her world, ended. and putting trust in mick not to do that with her was tough but ultimately she decided it was worth doing so. and she could not be more happy with the results of said trust. 

“i was trying to make him the one  and it took me three years to realize  love doesn’t work like that”

she just wanted to be loved. to be chosen. to be cared for. by someone who wasn’t “obligated” to be in her life. but wanting to be loved and loving is not the same thing. 

“i don't know what to do with a man who wants to hold onto me  for the rest of our lives” 

she got everything she wanted and more when she started dating mick. but coming off that toxic relationship left a lot of insecurities in her. insecurities that took longer to shake off than she would like to admit. and he couldn't have been more distant towards her whilst mick held onto her like his life depended on it. like he could die tomorrow and the only thing that would matter would be her. it was just different and took some time to get used to. 

“the love of a family  friends and community is just as potent  as the love of a romantic relationship”

god the love her people hold for her. her people being the majority of the village the world calls f1. how they would lay down their lives for her, similar to her partner. but their devotion is different. their devotion comes from helping in raising her through her adolescence, and mick’s devotion comes from who she grew to be as an adult and the ways she continues to grow and change throughout her life. there is overlap but it all boils down to love. 

“nothing can replace  how the women in my life  make me feel”

both positive and negative. her mom leaving and the hurt that caused probably will never go away. but the love she gets from the women in the paddock but susie especially makes up for that fact in more ways than one. 

“the power of knowing your worth is  you can never run out of reasons to love yourself”

she loves who she is. it took work and courage to get to this point, but she did it. and she’s a better person because of it. and yeah that’s great for her own well being but as well as the little humans she brought into this world. that she can be a good influence and role model for them that her father was for her and how michael and corinna were for mick and gina. that she can instill confidence in her babies and make them feel oh so loved. loved to the point that they don't have to question it, they just know it. 

[not gonna lie i almost cried while putting this together]

☕

I love rupi! <3<3 this is just so wholesome and on point aaaa

I think Bon has a small journal where she writes about her feelings every once in a while, not like a diary, but rather a journal, small sentences that came to her head when she was with mick along with the tickets to their first weather date as friends

NEW OC'S LETS GO!!! Can we get a little introduction to them? You want us to start sending in some asks about them? If so what are the question vibes so I can start making a list -🪃

OP, thank you so much for asking 🥹

so! it's a horror book. a very simple description would be "a group of college kids plan to go camping for spring break! (what could go wrong?) after receiving a concerning voicemail from her baby sister, the group stops at Stella's (main character) brother's house to check on her siblings. but the group finds the house empty, no sign of any of her siblings, and Stella is forced to confront a lot of things from her childhood (like the house itself, the woods that surround it AND the town) that she'd forced down and forgotten about.

as for our cast of characters!

Stella (22) our hero! she's a slightly sloppy but very likeable college senior who only recently realized she was gay. her "late start" has caused her to go a little girl crazy and her love life has recently clouded her judgment. as the oldest daughter, she was frequently tasked with tending to her much younger siblings and since going away to school and gaining her independence, she's gotten a little irresponsible/become a bit of a party girl. but she is charming, clever, self-reliant and pragmatic!

Rider (22) Stella's ex-boyfriend. she broke up with him when she figured out she was gay but they stayed very close friends and they're often each other's confidant. he's a decent basketball player for the school's Pretty Terrible basketball team and he's known for being brave, straight-laced and open-minded.

McKenna (21) - Rider's new girlfriend. she is polite and poised, from a wealthy family and destined for great things (but Stella can't stand her and Stella herself can't really figure out why). she definitely means well but she can come across as a little elitist? but her good manners and innocent lack of street smarts can be weirdly endearing

Ethan (22) - Rider's teammate. he's loud, confident, funny-on-purpose and definitely has the biggest personality in the group. he and Rider have a very partner-in-crime kind of friendship and he is convinced his muscles and pretty smile will be enough to win Beck's heart (see below) and have his happily ever after

Beck (21) - McKenna's friend BUT ALSO Stella's (and Ethan's -- he has no gaydar whatsoever) crush. (in fact, the only reason Stella agreed to go camping is because she wanted to get close to Beck.) she is smart, quick-witted and a little bit mysterious and attractive in a way that makes virtually everyone on campus take notice. she's a psych major with a big brain and purple hair and Nikki (21) - Stella's best friend and roommate since freshman year. she's very smart, very loyal and The Most Sarcastic member of the squad. she is not going camping with the group because she's going home for spring break to see her boyfriend (her high school sweetheart named Rob) but she knows Stella's family very well and so she's kept in-the-loop the entire way

Jeffery (24) Stella's older brother. they were extremely close when they were younger but slowly started to grow apart when Stella went away to school. he's offbeat, strong-willed and the type to hyper-fixate on his interests. though she loves him dearly, Stella has occasionally resented him for how much less he had to do to help out at home/with the kids.

Abby (9) and Liam (4) - Stella's much younger baby brother and sister, born to her mother and her step-dad. they're typical kids -- Abby is precocious and thoughtful, and Liam is gentle and curious. Stella feels like she raised them, especially Abby, and she calls/FaceTimes at least twice a week when she's at school

Something something something, the intro to my huge ass au.

Some notes: Blue= BF, Sophie= GF, Navy= BB

Feedback is appreciated!

It was a nice night out. Warm, with a nice breeze, stars twinkling bright in the sky with a crescent moon a sliver of white in the darkening sky.

Tonight was prom. A huge day for the seniors. A time to dance with one’s friends and/or partners, or just go completely apeshit and get pregnant in the bathroom stalls. Blue would rather go on living without hearing or seeing that.

Unfortunately… his mother thought going without either a friend or a date would be a good idea. Normally- he probably would have a date if they hadn’t moved from Philly in Middle School.

……

He’d rather not think about his middle school years.

His mother pushed his hair back again, lightly hairspraying it to keep it in place, as the lights from the bathroom’s ceiling made him feel like he was being interrogated. Instinctively, Blue reached up to mess it up again, hating having his bangs pushed away, but his mother just lightly smacked his hand away, tutting.

“We’ve gotta be formal, hun.”

“Mom- I don’t even want to go.” Blue whined, letting his mother fuss over him. She lightly patted some loose strands of his cyan hair into place, adding a bit more spray.

“I know sweetie, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! I don’t want you to miss out like Navy did.” She said.

“Navy only skipped it because half the women there hated him, and he didn’t want to deal with it.” He pouted, vividly remembering his brother’s whole panic attack about it.

“I know, and I get that. You haven’t even tried talking to anyone there enough to even know if they like you or not. Who knows? Maybe you’ll find yourself another man~.” She teased, picking up the black bowtie from the counter.

“M O M …” Blue hissed, immediately getting red.

She laughed politely, “Sorry, sweetie, but I think it’s adorable. You don’t let others get in between you and the people you care for.”

“Yeah well- the last guy I was with… he isn’t a fan of me anymore…”

His mother fell silent. “I know you don’t want to tell me, and I understand, I just wish I knew what happened between you two?”

“Moving away is what happened.” He replied bitterly, feeling guilty for being rude about it. His mother just wanted what was best for her sons, and Philly had started to become a shithole after-

He closed his eyes tightly, trying to block out the smell of smoke and the sound of a building collapsing from his mind.

“I’m sorry, Blue, but I didn’t want you to grow up in a crime-ridden area.” She said softly, sitting down on the toilet lid besides Blue, beckoning him to face her so she could put the bowtie on.

“I know…”

She put the bowtie clip on, flattening any wrinkles in his white button-up she saw before standing with a sigh. “You’re all set. My baby boy… all grown up.”

Blue couldn’t help the small grin that crossed his face for a moment.

“Let me see that beautiful smile.” She asked, tilting her head slightly, her royal blue hair momentarily falling into her face.

Blue gave her just that, showing off his grin that his mother loved.

“There we are. Make sure you text your brother and I how it goes.” She said, ushering him out of the bathroom and into the landing, getting her purse and keys.

“You don’t have to drive me, mom. I have a license…” he insisted, his face getting red with embarrassment.

“I know, but I want to! This is the last time I can do something for my baby boy before he officially becomes an adult!” She said.

He hesitated… pursing his lips as he fought with himself over this. “Fine. So long as you don’t like- lean halfway out of the car and yell at me… or honk your horn.”

She snorted. “I wouldn’t do that.”

“Yes. You would. You did it to both me and Navy when you made us go to Homecoming.” He replied flatly.

“Ah… right…”

Blue huffed amusedly, turning to leave with his mother trailing behind, far more excited about this than he was.

~

He stood on the steps of the school’s entrance.

His mother had given him a pep talk, giving him tips on how to either convince a woman OR man to dance.

Like hell he’s going to actually ask someone to dance.

Others with dates, or just friends, walked past him into the school, paying him no mind. They all looked excited for this, like this is something they wanted to do.

Why can’t he be like that?

He shook his head slightly. Taking in a deep breath to calm his nerves, he walked in.

Inside, the lights were down, replaced with slowly shifting lights as slow-music played. Couples were already dancing, holding each other close as their hips swayed to the music. Others who just came with friends were just chilling by the pillars, chatting away with drinks and other snacks in their hands.

Awkwardly, Blue moved to lean against a pillar, crossing his arms as he watched the couples on the dance floors have fun. He momentarily wondered how prom would’ve gone if he was still with his ex, but he shook it away.

He scanned the individuals hanging out around the sides, trying to see if there was anyone he had ever even talked to here he could hopefully hang with. His gaze landed on a girl standing by herself.

She had brown hair done neatly into a bun, with short, curled strands hanging strategically in front of her ears. Small sparkling golden hooped earrings were hooked in her ears, and a small golden necklace with a little flower pendant on it draped around her neck. Her red dress was sleeveless, with two straps wrapped around her neck to hold it up.

No one stood by her. No one talked to her.

He glanced away when she looked up, cursing to himself for looking at her like that. She looked lonely, like she also had no friends, but he doubted that someone like that could have no friends. He cursed himself once again, before pushing off the pillar, moving to where he last saw her.

She was still there, staring out into the mass of slow-dancers with an expression of longing. Blue wrung his hands together as they got sweaty.

Is he really going to do this?

He watched as she sighed, looking away.

Yeah… he is.

He approached from the side so she could see him, which she did, studying him confusedly. Her eyes were a warm chocolate brown and glistened with the lights.

“Hi, Uhm… I saw you standing by yourself… and I just… I wanted to ask if you were okay?” He stammered, hands continuously wringing together to keep himself from full-on panicking.

“Oh… yeah, I mean… I don’t really have anyone to dance with… nor did I really want to come here, but my dad made me.” She explained, before taking on a slightly annoyed tone, “Which I don’t get when he knows damn well I don’t have anyone to dance with.”

Blue hesitated, unsure of how to continue the conversation he started. “I don’t have anyone to dance with either, nor do I want to be here too. My mom made me go, saying it’s a ‘once in a lifetime opportunity’.” He quoted, throwing up the air-quotes.

“You too? I just don’t get the hype. Like- sure, having a partner would make this experience more enjoyable, but at the same time- it’s just… the amount of people here is overwhelming. I feel so bad for people who have sensory issues who’s parents made them go.” She ranted, ending with a sigh.

“Old people are weird.” Blue agreed with awkwardly.

They sat in silence for bit, watching the dancing continue.

“Say, what’s your name? I can’t imagine a cutie like you not having a date for prom.”

Blue flushed, stammering over himself and wringing his hands together nervously, “O-oh! U-uhm… my n-name is B-B-Blue.”

“Blue? That’s such a cute name. My name’s Sophia. You can call me Sophie.” She said, smiling at him. She reached her hands out, gently taking his and holding them. “Say, how’s a dance sound?”

Blue could only nod, trying not to smile like an utter dork.

-

He laughed as Sophie messed his hair up, ducking away and batting her hands away.

“Your hair is so fluffy! And are you serious that it’s naturally this color?” She asked, keeping her hands to herself after another swat from the shorter.

“Yeah! Both mine and my brother’s. My mom’s hair is naturally a royal blue.” He explained, a permanent grin plastered on his face.

“Nahhh- ain’t no way. I’d have to see it to believe it.” She said.

“Well- if my mom shows up before your dad does, maybe you can see her hair. My brother is in Philly right now, he lives there.” Blue explained.

“Wait, you have family in Philly too?” Sophie asked, eyes bright.

“Oh- yeah! In the shitty bit, but yeah.”

Sophie ‘ah’ed, looking towards the ground. “My mom’s currently in Philly too. Not there, specifically, but nearby. She’s doing a show there.”

Blue looked at her confusedly. “A show?”

“Yeah, my Mom’s actually a pretty big pop star… Mearest?”

Blue’s jaw dropped. “YOUR MOTHER IS-“

She covered his mouth mid-shock, shushing him. “Yes! Now please don’t let the whole school know!” She begged.

Blue nodded. “Your mother is the pop star Mearest?! The Mearest?!” He asked in a hiss after she removed her hands.

“Yeah… my dad’s Dearest, the retired rapper.”

Blue’s jaw fell open.

“Everyone says how lucky I am to have literal stars as parents…. But it’s not all glory and money and fame all the time…”

Blue tilted his head. “What do you mean..?”

Sophie glanced at him. Her eyes holding a secret that she desperately wanted to tell.

“My parents are…. I am-“

A loud honk startled them, interrupting Sophie.

“Shit… my dad’s here. I have to go now.” She leaned down and gave him a quick kiss to his cheek. “Tonight was very lovely, thank you.”

Blue watched in a flustered daze as she hurried to the literal fucking limo waiting for her. She turned and waved to him.

He waved back.

Something something something, the intro to my huge ass au.

I really want to make this au a comic, but I don’t know where to STAAARRRRRRT-

I’ve never actually posted a chapter straight to Tumblr before, so this is a first.

Your life was pretty relaxed due to your mothers love for meditation which she got you into it too but you were never as into it as her. You never had an interest in anything until you saw on tv that people in a town called strangerville were acting strange but the military was trying to cover it up. This sparked your interest so you decided you were going to find out what this mystery was even if it killed you, but you only had one option when it came to getting information as you weren’t very charismatic. A secret hobby you found after moving to strangerville was blackmailing sims for quick cash.

Traits: Paranoid/Lazy/Self-Assured Aspiration: Strangerville Mystery Career: Military Child Recommendation: Can only have 1

Rules:

Move to the 20x15 lot in strangerville and stay there until you reach level 5 in your career then you can move to a bigger lot in strangerville

to persuade people into giving you what you need to complete the story you must woohoo the military personnel or scientist

plant bugs on at least 4 sims and blackmail them for cash

Generation 10- The golden child

You grew up in a strange town that nobody really knew about. Due to being in a secluded area you never had any friends so when you became a young adult you decided to move to a town that everyone knew about, brindleton bay. Moving there was the best thing for you , you made lots of friends and even met the love of your life where you two ran their vet clinic while you worked at the local school. While the vet clinic and your job made enough money to pay the bills you never were able to afford luxuries so your best option was to turn to child labor and make your kids paint for hours and for your dog to rummage around for presents.

Traits: Family Oriented/Childish/Materialistic Aspiration: Big Happy Family Career: Education Child Recommendation: have to have 5

Rules:

Move to brindleton bay and marry a vet owner

Adopt a stray dog and have them forage for gifts every day

when your children age up into the child stage have them make crafts in the basement everyday and then move them to painting when they become a teen but sell their crafts so they don’t earn fame
