streamergf!vi hcs
part 1
warnings: none, fem!reader
pictures are from pinterest and they're not mine
streamergfvi: before your relationship was oficcially out she made sure to always post pics on her ig to hint she was clearly taken.
@/vistandsforviolence: sucks to be you ;)
@sevikunt: the girl is a paid actor
@vistansforviolence: go suck a dick
but after she actually announced her relationship to her community she made sure to floods her socials with pictures of you two together she took on past dates or just candind pictures of you (she totally made an album titled ''baby'' the first time she met you in person where she kept all the pictures she ever took of you). Everytime she snatch a picture of you, she usually does it when you are in the worst conditions ever, and you ask her to delete it she just pouts at you.
''but you look so cute baby''
In the end she never deletes the picture.
streamergfvi: who plays on streams every indie games you recommend to her. Her followers are sick of it because she always ends up never sticking to her streaming schedule.
''All right guys, i know we were supposed to play resident evil tonight but...''
and the chat goes wild
@/piltegoth: dude not again
@/chadjayce: you are such a loser for pussy is embarassing
@/Ekk0: weakest butch on the internet tbh
streamergfvi: who when she is not streaming she's probably lost tinkering with some gadget or tech. you find her, more often tha not, in her room cross legged on the floor, hands stained with grease and a look of intense focus on her face that's utterly adorable. She doesnât ever notice you till you stand right in front of her frame hovering over a half opened computer (yes she totally works on the floor).
''babe?''
she raises her head and her eyes totally brighten seeing you in front of her
''baby you're earlier you were supposed to be here at...''
she takes a look at the her wrist clock face (she wears a clock, it's hot) realising you are definitely not early and she totally lost track of time again.
''shit i'm sorry, the little shit was acting up again andâŚi'll quickly get ready for our date...''
she ramble getting up and you totally don't give a shit that she is late because her hands are covered in grease, and her muscles are in full view, little droplets of sweat glistening her skin, you thanks whoever invented tank top.
she shuts up only when you surprise her with a kiss, her hands comiung up to grab your waist as she pulls you closer to kiss you back.
''what was that for?''
she smirks at you when you pull away a little breathless. your arms around her neck.
''you look hot''
you just smile at her
''oh you think i'm hot all sweaty and covered in grease?â'
she teases you pulling you closer to her by your waist, one of her hand coming up to brush a strand of your hair behind your ear.
''you are gonna get my hair all greasy''
you giggle trying to get out of her grip. It usually ends up with her throwig you on her bed tickling you as you try to block her hands.
''just wait till i wash my hands''
streamergfvi: who has undiagnosed adhd and sometimes when you sleep over she wakes you up in the middle of the night still high on one too many energy drinks because she played a new game during her stream and literally can't wait till morning to show it to you. the only light in the room the one coming from her computer still on on her desk even tho she turned off her stream half an hour ago.
''baby are u asleep?''
You blink the sleep from your eyes and look at her, the picture of confusion and endearment. "What?"
"You've gotta see this! It's like someone took everything I love about games and put it into one amazing package!" she continues, her words tumbling over each other like a rock slide
''love it's 3am''
she gently grabs your wrist to pull you from the sweet cocoon of her bed
"I know pretty, but I just beat the first boss and I can't wait for you to see it!''
you end up cuddled in her lap on her gaming chair as she dives into the game rambling about all the cool stuffs you can do.
streamergfvi: who whenever she's got a new game that allows character customization makes sure to create a second one that looks like you. And it doesn't matter if she is on stream and her chat nags her to hurry the fuck up and just play the fucking game.
@/piltiesniperc: it's been 20 minutes
@/getjinxed: dude it literally looks just like her wtf
@/vistandsforvirgin: start the fucking game and stop being so gay
''just... almost done the lips are bugging me''
streamergfvi: who lets you put all kinds of stickers on her gaming set up and bought matching joystick and matching keychains and matching t-shirt. She literally loves matching shit.
streamergfvi: who thinks it's a good idea to let you cut her hair on stream. you stand there while she waves a pair of cooking scissors in front of the camera because ''scissors are scissors, they are gonna work just fine''.
''hello guys, today my pretty girlfriend is gonna cut my hair''
that's how you end up improvising yourself as an hair-stylist, almost poking one of her eyes out in the process because she can't sit still.
@/piltiesniperc: this is not what a meant when i said i liked lesbians scissoring
@/Ekk0: this is priceless
@/viktorious: omg i love when lesbians:
vi looks at herself in the camera moving her face from side to side, you definitely cut them shorter than expected and it's clear the haircut is uneven.
@/getjinxed: shit you look like a wet racoon, i need to see this irl
@/sevikunt: dumbest butch on the internet
as powder storms in vi room your eyes lingers on vi face and you just ask yourself how is it possible she looks even hotter than before.
''a wet racoon?''
vi asks offendend turning her gaming chair towards powder, who get closer to viâs face with a little bounce in her walk and flashes her with her phone camera
''omg i need to show vander, you look ridicolous''
vi pouts turning to you
''do I really look like a wet racoon?''
and you can't help but giggle as you pull her from the back of her neck in a little kiss before whispering something in her ear, something that makes her cheeks flush and her lips curl upwards in a little smirks as she get up from her seat lifting you by your waist to get the both of you out of frame. The sounds of kisses and gigglies filling the room as powder quickly get in front of the camera.
''disgusting''
powder groan as she turn off the stream and sprint out of vi's room.
streamergfvi: who comes up with the most random questions. one minute, she'll ask about the plot of a game youâve played a hundred times; the next, she'll muse on the theoretical physics of a game's universe. Her curiosity knows no bounds, and she's not afraid to dive deep into the rabbit hole of "what ifs" and "but whys" that often lead to the most entertaining conversations.
"Hey babe, do you think aliens would be into streaming games? What do you think their internet setup would look like?"
"If I started a podcast about the history of pencils, would you be my first listener?"
"What would happen if we tried to stream underwater?''
"Do you think I can teach myself to play the guitar while I'm streaming? It'll be fine, I've watched like three YouTube tutorials already."
''would you still love me if i had a third boob in the middle of my forehead?''
and the list could go on forever
streamergfvi: who hates being sick because she needs to stay put and just rest and she hates that but she kinda likes having you as her personal nurse. she wraps you both in a burrito of blankets, her hot skin flushing against yours as she tries to warm up her hands under your shirt.
''I'm gonna die''
she groans in the crook of your neck, her voice gruff due to her aching throat. you pepper small kisses over her head holding her close.
''your temperature is 37.7 baby, you are not gonna die''
you giggle endeared by your girlfriend anticts. she rases her head from your neck and look you dead serious in the eyes.
''i think i'm having auditory hallucinations''
she says and you know she is gonna say something stupid but you can't help yourself from asking anyway
''oh yeah? and what are they telling you?''
she smile playful at you, her hair disheveled and her cheeks flushed because of her fever
''that my only chance of surviving this is hide myself between your tits''
and she tucks her head under your shirt as you burst in a fit of giggles.
streamergfvi: who when you are the one sick drops everything she is doing to come to your house. A bag fulls of medicines and your favorites things which include your fav hoodie of hers because she knows it gives you comfort to wear it. she makes sure you are wrapped in as many blankets as she can finds before going to cook you soup and ends up spoon-feeding you while you watch the office.
''just another one pretty, you are doing so good''
she peppers your face with kissed even tho you remind her she is gonna get sick too
''i don't care, just pass all your sickness to me so you can get well''
and brush your teeth after you've thrown up before drawing you a bath and gently massages you shoulders.
streamergfvi: whoâs love language is physical touch. And it's not just about the typical cuddling and kissing.
For her, it's about the little things that often go unnoticed, the constant reassurances of presence and connection.
when she's in the middle of a gaming marathon and you are sitting next to her, her love manifests in a gentle head pat, a playful nudge.
the way she always plays with your hair while you're watching a movie, or the constant need to have some part of her body touching yours while you both lay in bed.
And oh, the way she holds you. It's like she's trying to contain a tornado in her arms, strong, yet gentle.
Her love is the way she squeezes your hand tightly during a suspenseful moment in a game stream, transferring her excitement directly to you.
It's the gentle touch of her fingers tracing patterns on your skin when she's lost in thought, or the firm grip of her hand on your thigh when she's trying to focus and needs you as her grounding force.
It's the subtle brush of her hand against your leg while you sit side by side, the way she grabs yours during a particularly intense plot twist in your favorite show, and the warm pressure of her fingers on your back as she guides you through a crowded room. It's the way she kisses you goodbye, like she's trying to leave a piece of herself behind to keep you company until she returns.
Her love is a bit like her streaming setup, a little messy, a bit haphazard but genuine and raw and you wouldn't have it any other way.
an: I had so much fun writing this so let me know if you would like a part 3. Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to read and interact with the part one, i got surprised by all the attention it got <3

Nicola and Luke are ABSOLUTELY TOGETHER and have been all along and hereâs how I know
(Friends, Iâve just finished this and it is INSANELY LONG. Like, two looong book chapters long. But I PROMISE itâs worth it. I was gonna cut it into multiple parts to make it more readable, but Iâm going to be super busy over the next few days, so I wouldnât have a chance to post subsequent parts until probably Christmas, so Iâve decided to drop it all now so I donât delay the final victorious conclusion. Sorry, itâs so long, but I donât really have time to rethink it and try to tell the story in a more concise way. Again, I think youâll be glad you stuck with it if you want to feel as thoroughly confident as I am that Nic and Luke are absolutely together.)
(Also, I have to run now, but I'll come back to add relevant photos/videos as time allows. But I'm sure you're all familiar with them anyway.)
So I want to start by saying something Iâm sure Iâll repeat. This is, of course, just my opinion and supposition based on the evidence available to me. But I also want to say, I am absolutely, positively sure now in a way I have never been. Genuinely not a doubt in my mind, and I think youâll agree by the end of this.
Itâs also worth noting that this may be nothing new to some of you. Iâve only been on this platform for a week and have barely scratched the surface of the great content here. So this is how *I* came to the final, joyful conclusion that everything is right with the world where lukola is concerned. I had long been sure they belonged together, but was afraid to embrace the theories about them actually being together now for fear of heartbreak, plus all the confusing signals about A & J, etc.
But all that changed a couple nights ago when I finally got the last piece of the puzzle I needed to see the big picture. There were just too many things that didnât make sense, until they did! I literally couldnât sleep that night (seriously only got about 2 hours) and then spent next day telling my husband the story for hours (in 20-30 minute increments as he could spare them during his slow, Christmas time work day).
My husband has been a patient, long-suffering skeptic through all of this. Heâs put up with my rants and constant videos I just had to share, but heâs been completely convinced from day one that they simply leaned into their friendship to turn on faux relationship vibes for PR. He was absolutely sure it was all just make-believe for the fans. No matter what I showed him, he could not be convinced.
Until yesterday. Yes, I convinced the toughest skeptic in town.
I think itâs important to start with my journey into the Lukola fandom for context. I was a casual Bridgerton watcher until this season, and had never read the books. I liked season 1, I loved season 2, and I was looking forward to watching season 3.
I had planned to wait to watch the first 4 until the second half was about to launch (so I wouldnât have to wait for more), but I realized after about a week that we needed to watch it immediately before everything was completely spoiled by timeline gifs and clips.
Needless to say, I was beyond hooked. Instantly. Season 3 was another level for all the reasons you all know. Finally I could engage safely with the fandom, but the process from occasional Polin/Lukola content to nonstop immersion took some time. So even following the second half, there was a TON of footage I hadnât seen.
All of this to say, I basically missed all of the World Tour stuff as it was happening, and it took well into the summer to finally see so many amazing clips and edits that I was absolutely fucking sucked into the lukola wormhole. However, I was well behind many of you on the curve, and even to this day, Iâm still catching up on things.
But by late summer, I was all in. I was sailing high on USS Lukola (or I suppose that should be the HMS Lukola!) because I saw exactly what you all saw. This was clearly real, their feelings were indisputable, and everything about their behavior and much of what they said was so far beyond PR, even âfaking couplehoodâ PR.
They were real. Even if he had this dumb girlfriend. (I say that only in the good-natured, abstract sense that I wanted him with Nic, not in a personal âactually about herâ sense. In fact, Iâve never said anything hateful about either A or J and I hope I never will.)
WHY ARENâT THEY TOGETHER???
I couldnât resist the mystery.
It drove me absolutely crazy for months trying to understand why they werenât together. Nothing made sense, but I mentally explored literally every possibility. Theyâre afraid of ruining their friendship? Theyâre afraid of disrupting the production if it goes wrong? These possibilities at least made some kind of sense and seemed to be the only explanations I could find. But in my mind, they werenât good enough reasons to resist what these two so obviously had. Still, Iâm not them, so that was easy for me to say. I had nothing to risk in this.
One or both of them is/are secretly gay? Soulmate besties instead of soulmate lovers? I didnât think this was the case and nothing made me believe this. Yet, I was attempting to allow for every possibility. Still, with Nicola being the super vocal âgay iconâ that she is, it was hard to imagine she wouldnât live out and proud if that was the case. And apparently she lived with an unknown man for two years. Though she does always keep her private (romantic) life super private, so I suppose who knows? And, of course, Luke had two very public past relationships with women, but again, who knows, I suppose? This option doesnât ring true at all, but it does exist in the universe of possible explanations for this inexplicable situation.
They love each other in a soulmate way, but somehow one of them just isnât âattractedâ to the other? Certainly, if the stories about Antonia were true, that might suggest that Luke might be attracted to an entirely different physical type than Nicola. But that didnât ring true either because LOOK AT THEM TOGETHER! He canât take his eyes off of her, let alone his hands. And the same for her. They are magnetized to each other. If thatâs not attraction, what is?
One of them has baggage and isnât ready for a real, serious relationship? This one seemed possible. People can have hang-ups or wounds for all sorts of reasons, and letting someone in â especially someone who might actually be your soulmate â can be terrifying. Self-protection by avoiding relationships and/or distracting yourself with less meaningful relationships is a natural way of coping with baggage. Yes, maybe this one? Neither of them seems obviously wounded, but what would I know? Most people donât wear their wounds on their sleeves, least of all during a PR tour. Still, the energy flow between them seemed anything but wounded. It seemed like the healthiest, happiest thing in the world.
People kept saying, theyâre blind and they donât see it yet. But I donât believe anyone can be that blind. Especially after watching all the countless edits and clips of their tour, which we know they did because Nicola is chronically online and sharing with Luke the best of it all (and sneaky Luke is likely lurking also).
So at the end of the day, I had no good explanation. It just kept not making sense.
Then those music festival photos of Nic and Jake (Iâll abbreviate sometimes for ease, but I do say their names) showed up. The fandom erupted into chaos with full reactions across the spectrum including a bizarre, almost immediate burst of (not yet named) jakolas, which felt like a disproportionate response to a few photos.
Admittedly, those photos did look quite friendly, and touchy, and yes, they stood arm-in-arm. But lots of friends stand like that at concerts. And Nic is known to be touchy-feely, so letâs not go overboard, I thought. However, I did acknowledge (in my head, I didnât weigh in online at all) that it suggested that it COULD be romantic. I opted not to freak out, because either way, Nicâs love life is her own and I want her to be happy.
And itâs worth saying here that both of their private lives are none of my business, none of any of our business, and even writing this is completely at odds with that truth. I acknowledge that. But what I told myself, and actually meant it, was that I was going to stay out of it unless and until NicLuke got together. That was the only place I would invest my energy since theyâve both said they think itâs sweet that fans ship them. If they dated others, good luck to them. Be happy. But when the time comesâŚ
Yes, friends, the time has come!!! But back to my story.
Note that (because again, I was still catching up), I hadnât yet seen the swimming in Sorrento photos and had missed that piece of the puzzle at that point. Throughout this time, Iâd see people refer to things on Twitter like everyone already knew what they were talking about, but hardly anyone ever took the time to explain. So I got lots of glimmers of things that others felt were notable, without actually knowing any details. Those pictures were an example. Another was the Claddagh ring.
Iâm very grateful to some amazing deep dive blog entries by @threeacttragedy that explained the ring, âBless the Telephone,â and other meaty, important history that Iâd previously only heard mentioned in passing. In fact, one of her blogs is what first brought me here by referral from Twitter. And if you donât follow her, you should!
In the past week, as I started reading blogs that broke down past dates and clues, I finally started looking them up one by one and trying to put the pieces together in my head. Iâd seen the swimming photos by then, but I revisited them. I dug in to try to understand the references to a âNew Year kissâ from the night the friend group (Rory, etc.) posted photos together from a Soho House party. I reviewed Hot Boy Summer, I rewatched the incredibly emotional video of Luke meeting Nicolaâs mom, I looked at photos of the Claddagh ring and went to Chupiâs website. I learned about the LA photos from April, both Antoniaâs version and the InStyle Polaroids. I reviewed all the photos of Luke and Antonia that I could find. And I reviewed all the photos and videos of Nic and Jake that I could find. Also, I listened to âBless the Telephoneâ about one hundred times. Lol.
Regarding Luke and Antonia, I had the same response in this deep dive Iâve had every time. Weird. I mean, if I didnât feel so strongly that Luke was in love with Nicola, and if I knew nothing about him except he was some hot actor, could I see him dating someone like A? Sure. But the fact that there are almost no pictures of them posing together, alone like a couple, is weird. Even if itâs super casual and she was just his date to some stuff. The fact that Luke looks grumpy in both sets of pap photos (premiere night and swimming in Sorrento), but A is smiling happily in at least one of the premiere night photos is weird. The fact that after the Sorrento pap photos, Luke seems to leave his friend group to come home early, and then stops liking any of his best friend Roryâs photos from there on, weird.
The fact that in the fall, she posts pictures harkening back to a place and time they were apparently together, but without any actual photos together, weird. And the continual drip, drip of Likes from Luke is weird. And then when a photo of Luke in a restaurant in Rome is posted by the restaurant, she immediately follows with a video story of someone making pasta in the same restaurant, weird.
Perhaps weirdest of all, the fact that she pre-posted the LA pictures, and then he gave other versions of the same shots to InStyle. Especially the switching seats thing. If my husband and I were taking pics of each other at a cafĂŠ, Iâd take his picture in front of the traffic, and heâd take my picture in front of the restaurant, because thatâs where weâd be sitting. Across from each other. So why switch seats to take the photos? Itâs not like that street with traffic was such a fantastic backdrop that weâd each need our turn with that shot? And theyâre the same, with the same table number, but different. Sure, traffic moves, but weird coincidence that they each had a white truck, but a DIFFERENT white truck. So, like I said, weird. Always implying they were together, but never actually saying/showing it. Weird.
I read all sorts of theories from pragmatic (we just have to accept that theyâre dating) to hateful (theyâre not together/never were, but sheâs obsessed and keeps inserting herself in a pathetic, desperate plea for attention and followers) to seemingly far-fetched (some sort of NDA that means for some reason Luke is obligated to Like her photos). Only the first of these seemed plausible. I maybe didnât like it (not maybe, I didnât like it at all), but I thought, âYes, I guess we just have to accept that theyâre probably together until they tell us otherwise.â
(Though I held out a small sliver of âbut we donât know anything for sure until L and/or N tell us themselvesâ hope, which remains true even as I write this.)
Now, letâs talk about Nic and Jake. First, there were those shots from the concert (discussed above). Then, I believe, were the NYC shots (if Iâm not confusing the order). In the NYC shots, they were both there, but they werenât especially intimate in any interpersonal sense. Then, the pap shots on the street posted on DM, ostensibly catching them walking home together, holding hands and arm-in-arm after a night at the pub. With those photos came an onslaught of fandom fury and gossip site reporting about how âNicola Coughlan confirms her relationshipâŚâ Same story runs across a bunch of trashy sites, all saying the same thing and citing an unnamed source talking about how besotted they were, or whatever the quote was.
Admittedly, I was among the furious fans. Not because of what the pictures showed. Again, I was trying to be serene and Zen about them and their private lives. I believed with all my heart that NicLuke belonged together, but if now wasnât their time, Iâd have to wait. I didnât love that Iâd heard he was only 24, but I was trying to balance my efforts to be a non-judgmental person with my discomfort over that issue and reminding myself that her choices are none of my business (unless she chooses Luke!).
So I did my best to refrain from judgment, even as I saw the fandom erupt into toxic madness about whether it was true, whether he was gay, whether the age gap was wrong, whether DM lied about the date, and if they did (which they did), why? But I figured, unless the photos were very, very old, things werenât likely to have changed in their relationship over a couple weeks, so I wasnât overly concerned about the date.
However, I was angry about all these stories (basically the same story across the board) announcing that sheâd âCONFIRMEDâ the relationship. It made me very angry that they said she confirmed something when sheâd done nothing of the sort. I wasnât prepared to argue that she wasnât dating Jake at that point, but why would they all run this story, with this headline, when what actually happened was a paparazzi photographer snapped shots and sold them, then the media drew conclusions from what they saw.
Nicola never confirmed a damn thing. So why were they running this headline so universally?
I was also angry that the photos existed at all. Photos in her neighborhood could reveal her location and put her safety at risk. Also, how did they happen to be there to take those photos late one specific night? Felt like they must have received a tip. But I moved on and forgot about that part.
Time went on and I saw more and more discussion of Jakeâs sexuality. I donât really want to get into that here because I donât really feel comfortable speculating about anyone unless they choose to explicitly come out, but I did finally start poking around his page, Douglasâs page, etc. and began to understand why people were saying what they were saying. However, I reminded myself that bi/pan-sexuality exists and I wasnât willing to partake in bi-erasure, so I held my tongue and kept watching.
Now, at this point, I want to remind us all that Nic has always been extremely private and uttered nary a peep in public about her romantic/sexual life. And fair enough. Itâs none of our damn business. Also, sheâs talked extensively about how women are not just menâs girlfriends and her feminist take on many things and how it doesnât feel nice to know that people are more interested in her love life than her work. Sheâs worked freaking hard to achieve the success sheâs now enjoying, and she certainly should not be reduced to a woman in a relationship. No matter who is on the other end of that relationship.
(Again here, I feel the need to acknowledge my hypocrisy in writing this, but I really do genuinely love Nicâs work and spirit and activism, etc. as well.)
So, in light of her position on all of that, we wouldnât expect her to go public with a new love interest. The fact that she was papped with this guy (if indeed he was a love interest) was just an indication of how much her celebrity and profile have grown. Thereâs greater interest now and sheâs more recognizable now, so itâs to be expected that sheâd have a harder time keeping her love life private now than in the past. Not so strange then, that she got caught a couple times in paparazzi photos at this point.
However, would she really then go public with that guy? That would mark a radical change in her behavior just when youâd think sheâd want to be the most private because the glare of the spotlight is brighter than ever. Still, she allowed a public photo with him, Camilla, and Evan Ross Katz to go out shortly thereafter. If one believed they were dating, that could certainly be interpreted as a launch. Yet, as I said, would she really do that if she were dating him?
Then he started popping up everywhere. I wonât get the chronology here right because I donât want to research the dates right now, but there was the Charlie xcx concert, in which she appeared with Jake and Dylan, who is out and proud. The Queer premiere where he was just caught in the background of a fan photo. The simultaneously released photos from the red and gold restaurant (with a mysterious third person taking the photos). There was the apparently brunch-time photo of her with Jake and two others, taken by Dylan. And most recently, Louisaâs photo with Jake and Douglas (who is also openly gay and close friends, if not more, with Jake).
Iâm not mentioning all the players in all of these because itâs not critical to the story, and I may be forgetting some photos, but there is a point to all of this. First, thereâs potentially a notable shift in what sheâs allowing to be shared here. Again, historically, sheâs never shared anything about her love life. Suddenly, sheâs letting him be photographed everywhere. Also, at most of these events, there were other queer participants and/or queer content (the movie premiere).
And while sheâs never allowed her romantic life to be shared, you know what she has often shared? Photos with all of her platonic friends, including her huge friend group of many, many gay men. So this trend in what sheâs allowing to be shared suggests that sheâs telling a story and clarifying Jakeâs role in her life.
But then thereâs that one mystery release, the simultaneously timed restaurant photo drops. Clearly coordinated, clearly indicating they were there together. No indication about the third party. Why? Just enough to hint that there might be something going on, and to continue wreaking havoc in the fandom.
Because remember that toxic fandom bickering over all of this? The jakolas swearing theyâre in love and soon to be engaged and furious at the lukolas for âbeing blind and refusing to accept the truth and itâs so disrespectful to Nic ('who you claim to love') by disregarding her feelings and treating the love of her life so badly. They keep showing you theyâre in love and you wonât listen!â Etc., etc.
Meanwhile, the lukolas fall into a couple camps. By this point, most have decided Nic and Jake arenât dating, but some remain circumspect. Some scream back at the jakolas, ostensibly in defense of Jake, saying very similar things about âJake and his friends are doing everything in their power to show you the truth and you refuse to see it.â And a variety of other responses. Everyoneâs mad at everyone.
And all of it, every bit of it, keeps us ALL talking about Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton. Nonstop, every day.
Now, we are nearing the big mic drop of all of this, and I want to say at this point that we need to remember that Nic and Luke are HUMAN BEINGS who have a right to privacy. And they are celebrities living in a world that has an intense interest in their love lives. And sometimes, we might not feel good about the measures they must take to protect their privacy. We might hate those measures. We might feel manipulated, and we are. But if we love and respect them as much as I hope we all do, we can also understand and forgive them for taking such measures.
A quick review of important factors in all of this:
THINGS THAT TELL US ITâS REAL
The Galway trip and that very emotional introduction to Nicâs mom, which looked for all the world like a woman meeting her future son-in-law
The Claddagh ring and how sheâs been wearing it
The things reporters, cast, and crew have said in passing and/or posted, not to mention recent open shipping from Ryan Wheeler and Shondalandâs IG
Everything we saw with our own eyes on the world tour, not to mention everything weâve seen in the BTS
Little droplets of NicLuke over the recent months like Bless the Telephone and (not yet mentioned above) the S4 selfie and the photo of them in costume that Nic said she thought sheâd shared, but now itâs ours (while she hasnât posted any Jake)
The absolute consistency of all of this as a story that makes sense
THINGS THAT MAKE US DOUBT ITâS REAL AND/OR KEEP US GUESSING AND DISCUSSING
The premiere night pap photos (and though I didnât mention it earlier, the fact that Nic went home that night so she wasnât around for Aâs attendance)
The friend group photos at Soho House with Luke, A and others
The weird LA InStyle photos
The Sorrento swimming photos
The multiple sets of pap photos of Nic and Jake, including grainy night-time neighborhood photos (with a woman walking a dog in the background)
The way every gossip news outlet ran the same âNicola confirmed her relationshipâ story with the same headline and the same anonymous quote
The weirdly devoted, intensely defensive jakolas/Jake stans that seem to care about nothing but Jake/jakola out of nowhere and love screaming at and stirring up shit with lukolas
The chaos and constant discussion of all of this over the past 6+ months
The absolute inconsistency of any of this with anything in the top group
So, this mystery just gets deeper and deeper, and none of it makes sense. Every time Iâd try to accept that they were just seeing these other people, something would bump in my head. There were just too many weird things that didnât quite make sense and the biggest, weirdest one of them all was that NICOLA AND LUKE ARE CLEARLY IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER.
So while the pieces would always almost fit, the puzzle never quite took shape. Until two nights ago when I stumbled on @lukolafan âs page after they liked one of my posts. I scrolled down their page and found a link labeled âLukola PR Strategies and Fake Narratives.â I cannot scream this loudly enough. GO VISIT THAT LINK!!!!! (Iâll add the links myself later if I have time.)
I did and it led to a series of Reddit posts taking an academic approach to teaching us, the general public (and lukola fans) PR Media Literacy. Among the various topics it discussed were things like:
âPR Firms and Entertainment Media: Coordinating âNewsâ Across Gossip, Entertainment, and Official Publications,â which talks about using anonymous sources, more about staged paparazzi, and repeated narratives (âoutlets echo identical stories, reinforcing PR-approved messaging, for example, multiple outlets platforms describing a celebrity ârising aboveâ a controversy, quoting the same anonymous insiderâ â Sound familiar?)
âThe Invisible Hand of Celebrity Privacy: How PR Fabricates Narratives and Manipulates Fans,â which includes ways that PR strategies intentionally manipulate fans to fight/debate celebs faking relationships, and more (sound familiar?)
Thereâs honestly so much meat in all of these (there are a couple others as well) that they are ALL worth reading. There is definitely some repetition, but still, the content is super insightful and revealing and can help us all be more savvy consumers of media.
But I want to focus on two CRITICAL posts, in particular.
âThe Role of Staged Paparazzi and Gossip Outlets in Celebrity PR Campaignsâ
The first part of this piece talks about the method for staging fake paparazzi photos to create narratives. Two items of particular note (and Iâm excerpting directly):
Quality Control of the Image: While professional photographers use high-quality cameras, staged paparazzi photos are intentionally manipulated to appear grainy or blurry. This adds a layer of authenticity to the photo, making it look as though the photographer stumbled upon the celebrity by chance.
Extra Figures in the Background: Another key tactic in staged paparazzi photos involves the use of background extrasâpeople who might be walking with dogs, pushing strollers, or simply in the vicinity.
Think of Nicolaâs photos walking home with Jake, a woman walking a dog behind them. Some of them are clear, but some are quite grainy, despite the fact that professional photographers have great equipment and are more than capable of taking a night-time shot.
Another excerptâŚ
Gossip Outlets: DeuxMoi and the Symbiotic Relationship with PR Firms
With the rise of user-generated content and anonymously submitted tips, gossip websites have become integral to the modern celebrity PR machine. Sites like DeuxMoi thrive on rumors and speculation, providing a platform for fans and anonymous sources to share celebrity gossip. PR teams exploit these platforms to feed their desired narratives without appearing to directly control the flow of information.
How Gossip Sites Like DeuxMoi Work:
Anonymous Tips and Leaks: PR teams often send anonymous tips to gossip outlets, offering details about celebrity activities or sightings. These tips are deliberately vague, leaving room for interpretation and speculation. Once posted on sites like DeuxMoi, the stories tend to snowball as they are shared across social media and republished by larger outlets.
Fueling Speculation: These posts generate buzz and speculation, keeping celebrities in the public eye without any direct confirmation. Gossip sites become a key player in amplifying the narrative, as fans, influencers, and media outlets continue to discuss and spread the information.
Mutual Benefits: While gossip sites operate independently, there is a mutual benefit to the relationship between them and PR teams. Gossip sites thrive on traffic and engagement, while PR teams can ensure their clientâs name stays relevant in the public discourse. By subtly feeding stories, PR teams maintain control over how their celebrityâs narrative unfolds.
The piece goes on to give specific examples like Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny, Tomdaya, Gigi Hadad and Zayne Malik, etc. then talks about fake fan interactions and how to spot them.
It offers key questions to ask about the photos you see (like what story is it telling and why and who benefits?) and then it gives this example. If your ears arenât already fully perked, this will do it:
Example: 37-Year-Old Famous Actress and 24-Year-Old Lesser-Known Celebrity
Narrative of Romance or Distraction: In this case, the 37-year-old actress is likely fueling rumors of a relationship with the 24-year-old to either distract from something else in her personal life (like a real romantic partner) or to refresh her public image. The younger celebrity could be hired to play a temporary love interest or interest figure in the media, leading people to speculate whether they are more than just friends.
Creating a Romance or Mystery: The photo of them walking arm-in-arm, laughing, or holding hands might suggest that a romantic connection exists. This could be used to make the actress seem more relatable, desirable, or single, even if there is no romantic involvement behind the scenes.
Diverting Public Focus: If the actress is privately in a relationship with another celebrity or involved in an ongoing controversy, the staged photo with the younger celebrity helps to deflect attention. By inserting a "mystery romance," the public is more interested in who the new partner is, leaving the actressâs real partner or issues to stay out of the spotlight.
PR Stunt to Revitalize Publicity: The actress might not just be looking for romantic gossip but also fresh exposure. A curated paparazzi shot could serve as a PR tool to keep the actress's name in circulationâbe it through romantic rumors, new partnerships, or simply new media content to fuel speculation.
Potential Body Double for Real Partner: If the real partner is shying away from the public eye or trying to avoid the media, the younger celebrity might act as a "body double" or decoy. This helps maintain an image of the actress being in a public relationship, while allowing her to keep the real relationship.
Donât think I need to explain the relevance of this very specific example. Thereâs a lot more in the post, but Iâll move on for now to the next key post.
âBreadcrumbing and Coordinated Campaignsâ
In this piece, they offer first some key breadcrumbing tactics, many of which sound awfully familiar.
Common Types of Breadcrumbs:
Cryptic Social Media Posts:Â Celebrities post vague messages or abstract references, sparking fan theories. Example: Harry Styles posts cryptic images or quotes, prompting speculation.
Coordinated Social Media Timing:Â PR teams synchronize posts to create the illusion of a shared narrative. Example: Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss posted similar content at the same time, fueling relationship rumors.
Accidental Social Media Interactions:Â Liking posts or commenting on ambiguous tweets creates intimacy and speculation. Example: Kendall Jenner engages with fans on social media, fueling rumors.
Seemingly Innocent Photos:Â Casual photos subtly hint at a larger narrative. Example: Zendaya and Tom Holland posted photos together, teasing their relationship.
Cryptic? Like Bless the Telephone? Or a mysterious left-handed guy holding a phone in the background while Nic gets ready?
Synchronized like Nic and Jake at that restaurant? Or as far as that goes, like Nic and Luke with the S4 selfie?
Accidental social media interactions? I didnât go into that here, but weâve seen lots of odd likes and things, lots of Nic interactions, oh, and those RW and SL likes of late.
Seemingly innocent photos. Like very happy looking S4 pics and the ânow itâs yoursâ BTS photo?
Perhaps most of this could be interpreted as just genuine fan interaction and fan service, which I think it is to some extent. Itâs a natural part of the business. But itâs also very often done with intention.
But hereâs the more important part of this piece. It gives some case studies (Ben and JLo, Shawn and Camila), then it gives two âabstractâ examples.
YOUâLL LOVE THIS. Note that the second example changes to an actor and a musician, but donât let that fool you. Keep reading for some unmistakable specifics.
Breadcrumbing with a Fake PR Girlfriend: Case Study of Celebrity 007
For Celebrity 007, breadcrumbing is used to create a false narrative about a relationship with a PR girlfriend. This helps maintain fan interest while deflecting attention from the celebrityâs true personal life.
How It Works:
First Breadcrumbs:Â The PR strategy begins with posts from both the celebrity and the PR girlfriend, hinting at a connection without confirming it. Example: Celebrity 007 posts a picture from a Paris restaurant or cafe in LA and the PR girlfriend shares a similar post from the same location but from a different day with different white trucks in the background (double check the Instyle Stunt images!!!)
Expanding the Narrative:Â Shared travel posts and indirect interactions continue the illusion of a relationship. Example: Matching geo-tags in posts from Rome suggest they were there together.
Indirect Engagement:Â Likes, comments, and ambiguous interactions increase intrigue without confirming the relationship. Example: The PR girlfriend comments, âGreat to be here with you! đ,â on Celebrity 007's post.
Paparazzi Shots:Â Carefully timed candid shots further reinforce the illusion of a relationship. Example: Paparazzi photos of Celebrity 007 and the PR girlfriend walking hand-in-hand, fueling speculation.
Note:
CafĂŠ in LA, same location, different trucks?
Matching tags in Rome?
Likes and ambiguous interactions
Carefully timed (say at a premiere party) candid paparazzi shops w gf walking hand-in-hand
And then thereâs the next one. In the interest of length since this is already hella long, Iâve removed some less relevant parts, but I encourage you to read it yourself.
Breadcrumbing to Hide a Real Relationship: Case Study of Celebrity 009
Why Hide the True Relationship?
In celebrity culture, the decision to keep a relationship privateâor hiddenâcan be a strategic move, driven by a mix of personal privacy and professional interests. Some celebrities may choose to share their personal lives openly, but for others, particularly those who value their privacy or wish to control their public image, keeping a relationship private is key. This is especially relevant for two celebrities who are romantically involved but prefer to maintain discretion, despite public curiosity about their relationship.
Whether itâs a high-profile couple like BeyoncĂŠ and Jay-Z, or a less conspicuous pairing, the decision to hide the true nature of a romantic relationship often involves balancing personal desires with career strategy. In this scenario, letâs explore why two celebrities might choose to keep their relationship under wraps and the complex PR considerations that lead them to do so.
Media Scrutiny/Escaping Constant Surveillance: Navigating the Spotlight Together (Iâve combined two sections here for length)
When two celebrities become romantically involved, the media will inevitably take notice. The relationship can quickly become the focal point of constant headlines, paparazzi photos, and gossip columns. For celebrities who value their privacy, this level of scrutiny can feel overwhelming, as every public appearance or moment shared can quickly turn into speculation, even if the couple doesnât wish to attract attention.
Romanticized Expectations: The Pressure of Perfection
Media scrutiny often creates an unrealistic, romanticized version of a celebrity relationship. Fans and the public tend to project their fantasies onto famous couples, imagining them as the perfect, unbreakable pairing. The real complexities of a relationshipâdifferences, compromises, and strugglesâoften don't fit neatly into the idealized narratives created by the public.
For a couple like Actor A and Musician B, the pressure to live up to these idealized expectations can be exhausting. By choosing to keep their relationship private, they can avoid the constant pressure to fit into a preconceived mold. Hiding the relationship from public view allows them to keep things grounded and avoid being turned into a media spectacle.
Brand Control: Managing the Image of "Singleness" or "Availability"
For many celebrities, their public image is closely tied to their brand, and that brand may depend on their perceived "availability" or their status as desirable, unattached individuals. The way the public perceives a celebrityâs romantic lifeâwhether they are single, dating, or in a long-term relationshipâcan have a significant impact on their professional success and marketability.
Creating Room for Desire: The Allure of the Single Celebrity
Consider Actor A, a leading man known for portraying romantic heroes on screen. The publicâs perception of Actor A as a single, unattainable figure is key to their marketability, both in the media and as a brand. If they were to publicly reveal a relationship with Musician B, it could diminish that aura of unattainability. Similarly, Musician B may want to maintain a flirtatious public persona, which could be undermined if they were publicly involved with someone. By keeping the relationship private, both celebrities retain the allure of being desirable and unattached, feeding into the fantasies of their fans.
Avoiding the "Couple" Brand: Risk of Being Reduced to a Package Deal
When a high-profile coupleâs relationship is made public, they may become known less for their individual work and more for their collective identity as a couple. In some cases, the couple's public appearances or shared brand messages may overshadow their individual projects. Think of BeyoncĂŠ and Jay-Z, who have an incredibly powerful couple brand that often eclipses their solo endeavors in the media. For celebrities like Actor A and Musician B, the fear of being seen as a "package deal" might drive them to hide their relationship. This allows both to maintain their distinct identities, keeping their projects and brands separate and preventing the public from viewing them solely as a pair.
Respecting Boundaries: The Vulnerability of Celebrity Relationships
Even when two celebrities are involved, the vulnerabilities of a relationship can become the focus of media attention if they go public. Romantic relationshipsâespecially those in the high-pressure world of celebrityâare often fraught with ups and downs. The public might demand to know every detail, fueling rumors of breakups, infidelities, or relationship drama. By keeping their romance under wraps, Actor A and Musician B can avoid becoming the subject of constant gossip and can maintain some semblance of normalcy in their private lives.
Avoiding Disruptive Publicity
Celebrity relationships often attract media scrutiny not only about their romantic lives but also about how their relationship affects their careers. The public and the media often delve into the smallest details, speculating about how the relationship might impact their professional trajectories, previous relationships, or future projects.
Career Disruption: The Challenge of Balancing Love and Work
For celebrities like Musician B, a new relationship can take attention away from their upcoming album release or concert tour. The mediaâs obsession with their personal life might overshadow the launch of a new professional project. Similarly, if Actor A is in the middle of promoting a film or preparing for a big role, the press could focus more on their relationship than their craft, disrupting the flow of their work.
I wonât bother reviewing the relevance of all of the above. Iâm sure you can see it plainly for yourself. The examples are absolutely, positively referencing Nicola and Luke, and the reasons for hiding it are super relevant. Especially boundaries, disruption, pressure to be perfect, and being reduced to a package deal.
Now at this point, itâs worth asking the question, do we trust this source? I donât actually know who posted this content, so I canât verify their credentials. Perhaps this is yet another PR personâs tricky efforts to continually confuse us and keep us guessing? That seems unlikely since the entire purpose is to help lift the veil on all the other tricks. If you wanted the other tricks to be effective, youâd hardly be revealing them to your target audiences.
But even setting that very logical assumption aside, the reason I know with every fiber of my being that itâs true is that this is literally the only version of events that makes sense of absolutely everything.
All those mysterious and confusing signals, all those weird photos and changes in behavior, all the inconsistencies between what we all saw with our own eyes (they are IN LOVE) and what we saw subsequently with the adjacents, all the tiny Lukola crumbs keeping us hanging on, and all the fandom bickering, especially from bizarrely rabid jakolas.
Every bit of it makes complete sense if we accept that Nic, Luke, and their PR teams have been using a classic PR handbook to distract us from the very real truth that they are together and in love.
Does it hurt to know weâve been manipulated? You bet it does! But I quickly accepted that because I was so happy to have the truth verified at last. And because I understand why they would do it.
Relationships are hard enough when lived in private. No relationship, no matter how much people love each other, is without challenge. Even soulmates have issues to navigate. Can you imagine the pressure on them if the whole world was watching?
And their lives have added challenges. Travel and separation. Long work schedules that may often be at odds. Possibly romantic scenes with future co-stars that could stir up uncomfortable feelings. Career ups and downs that may not always synch up. Fans and media watching their every move, dissecting them, judging them, rooting for them, and just putting massive pressure on them. What if they fail? Theyâre letting down the whole world, not just themselves.
And what about Nicâs longstanding demand for privacy? And her emphasis that no woman is just some dudeâs girlfriend. She wants to be known for her own work and achievement and passions, not for who she dates or marries. Even if it is wonderful Luke.
Likewise, Luke is just now achieving a newfound level of success. This is a moment for him to seize and make the most of. Being a hot, sexy, ostensibly single guy is good for his brand right now. Even if we know he loves Nicola, his stans need to be able to fantasize about him, which is easier if his relationship is unconfirmed.
And letâs face it, if they come out as a couple, IT WILL BE LUKOLA all the time. That will be the story. Certainly if theyâd come out during the World Tour, every question at every stop would be about them and their personal âfriends to lovers story.â It would be irresistible to reporters. Too good a story to ignore. And theyâd spend way more time talking about their personal lives than about their work. Does that sound like something either of them would want?
And one last thing. Back to their changes in behavior. Does it make more sense that Nicola, who has always been super private about her love life, would suddenly be willing to be photographed constantly with her new bf Jake? Or that Jake is not her bf and sheâs keeping her actual bf (or fiancĂŠ or husband) secret?
Meanwhile, Luke, who has always been open about his relationships in the past suddenly decides to tighten up and share absolutely nothing about his private life? Well, that makes complete sense if heâs now in a relationship with a woman who is famously private and shares not one word publicly. Suddenly, literally everything makes sense and is entirely consistent.
So there it is, folks. To me, this is the Holy Grail. Thereâs not a doubt left in my mind about them. Theyâre together and everything else â literally everything else â is a decoy and a distraction, and every bit of it comes straight from the PR playbook.
Iâd like to maintain a sliver of hope that theyâre leaving much of it to their teams and theyâre not in on the worst of it, but in any case, I donât blame them one bit for trying to protect their love. Itâs too special to let it be destroyed by public consumption. You gotta do what you gotta do.
Given that I donât actually know them and havenât confirmed anything directly, Iâll leave 1.5% room for doubt, and adjust my certainty to 98.5%.
And you may dismiss all of this and draw very different conclusions, which is okay, too. But if Iâm being really honest, Iâm actually 1,000% sure. And I couldnât be happier for them.
What do we do now? Thatâs up to each of us. Personally, Iâm going to be blissfully happy for them, not sweat any of the distractions, let them live as quietly as they like, and patiently await the day (whether itâs very soon or far in the future) when they finally go public. I hope youâll do the same.
And until then, Iâm going to keep watching Lukola videos on repeat.

juno part 2 - evan buckley x reader
part 1 here!
There are many words in the English language to describe Buck. Loving, stubborn, intelligent, a human form of sunshine, are just a few.
A damn tease, is another description.
After using the handcuffs on him, it was now your turn in the metaphorical hot seat. Your hands were chained to the headboard of the bed, and Buck had spent the past half-hour kissing, licking, and sucking on practically every part of your body, except where you needed him to. You couldn't grab onto his curls with your restrained hands and direct him where you needed him, and no amount of pleading on your part was getting your boyfriend to take mercy on you.
He bites the sensitive part of your inner thigh, and you try to push yourself down and off the bed so that your core was in front of Buck's face. To no avail - Buck leans away from you, smirking.
"What's the rush, sweetheart? We have all day."
"Please, Buck, please. I need you inside me, filling me up like only you can." You babble incoherently, on the brink of delusion.
Buck groans at your words. His weakness was you talking dirty to him, ammo that you pull out at opportune times to get what you want. It works 100% of the time, because Buck finally takes ahold of himself and sinks into you to the hilt.
Your moans harmonize together as Buck starts to move, hips grinding against yours as he rests his face in the crook of your neck, peppering kisses there. Buck trails his fingers down between the tight space between your bodies and circles your clit, and like a dam breaking, you come hard. When he feels you clench around him like a vice, he lets go as well.
Buck reaches over to the nightstand to grab the keys and un-cuffs you.
"You okay?" He murmurs gently, a stark contrast to the cocky guy a few minutes ago, while he rubs on the skin of your wrists where the cuffs had dug in a little too hard.
You smile softly and place an appreciative kiss on Buck's lips.
"More than."
BONUS:
Come to Buckâs place, alone. Donât tell anyone was your text to Hen.Â
Hen is expecting and fearing the worst, because what else is she supposed to do with an ominous message like that? She wouldâve called Athena for backup if you hadnât specified the alone part.Â
Hen uses the key Buck and you had given her for emergencies. She doesnât hear much downstairs, so she gingerly makes her way up the loft stairs towards the open bedroom, calling out both of your names, before she stalls at the top stairs and takes in the sight before her.
Both you and Buck stare back, sheepishly. Youâre both naked, in the middle of the bed, each with one hand cuffed to the headboard. Buck lays semi on top of you, trying to cover you up as much as possible, but was displaying his bare butt in doing so.
Hen splutters, not even sure where to start but also wondering what gods she mightâve angered to find herself in the same position twice.Â
Resigned, Hen eventually asks for the keys, to which Buck points to foot of the bed, where he had accidentally tossed the keys in the heat of the moment. Hen picks up the keys and moves to un-cuff the two of you, when Buck stops her.
"You can just put them right here, Hen. Thanks."
Hen shakes her head, and leaves the loft. All my friends are freaks, she thinks.

part 1, part 2
Faded Spark (?)
Months had passed since Y/Nâs death, but for Knockout, the pain felt as fresh as if it had happened yesterday. Every time he entered the medbay, he was struck by the haunting memory of her lifeless frame on the table. No matter how much Breakdown tried to help him cope, the guilt and grief remained like a shadow he couldnât escape.
Meanwhile, at the Autobot base, life had resumed its usual rhythmâuntil a strange signal disrupted their routine.
âOptimus, weâre receiving a faint distress signal,â Raf reported, his fingers flying across the keyboard. The signal was weak, barely holding together, but it was enough to catch the Autobotsâ attention.
âCan you pinpoint its location, Rafael?â Optimus asked, his deep voice calm but laced with urgency.
Raf nodded. âItâs coming from about ten miles outside Jasper. Looks like... a Cybertronian life signal. Barely hanging on.â
The room went silent for a moment.
âA Cybertronian? Out here?â Arcee questioned, narrowing her optics. âCould be a trap.â
âOr someone in trouble,â Bulkhead countered, his tone serious.
Optimus considered for a moment before turning to the team. âArcee, Bumblebee, Bulkheadâinvestigate the source of the signal. Exercise caution, but if someone requires aid, we will not turn our backs on them.â
The Autobots transformed and rolled out, leaving Ratchet and the others behind to monitor the situation from the base.
The source of the signal led them to a small ravine, where they found the broken frame of a Cybertronian lying half-buried in the dirt. The bot was barely recognizable at firstâmissing an arm, one optic dark, and their side leaking faint traces of energon.
âPrimus...â Bulkhead muttered as they approached. âWhoever they are, theyâve been through the Pit.â
Arcee crouched down to get a better look, her optics widening as she realized something. âWait... this canât be. This isââ
âY/N,â Bumblebee beeped, his tone equal parts shock and disbelief.
The name struck them like a thunderclap. Y/N was supposed to be dead. The Decepticons had been mourning her for months, and yet, here she wasâalive, but barely.
âSheâs still online,â Arcee said, placing two fingers to the side of Y/Nâs helm. âBut just barely. We need to get her to Ratchet, now.â
Without hesitation, Bulkhead gently lifted Y/Nâs broken frame and carried her back to the GroundBridge.
âBy the AllSpark...â Ratchet breathed as the team arrived with Y/N. He immediately cleared a berth and gestured for Bulkhead to lay her down. âI thought she was dead!â
âWe all did,â Arcee said grimly, watching as Ratchet began to work on her injuries. âBut here she is. Somehow.â
Ratchet quickly assessed the extent of Y/Nâs damage. Her frame was still in critical condition, but it was clear that someone had tried to stabilize her wounds before abandoning her. The patchwork repairs were crudeâlikely done in hasteâbut they had been enough to keep her alive.
âHer injuries are consistent with what Knockout described months ago,â Ratchet muttered as he worked. âMissing arm, optic damage, energon loss... Itâs as if time stopped for her.â
âCan you save her?â Bumblebee asked, his tone pleading.
Ratchetâs optics softened as he glanced at the young scout. âIâll do everything I can, Bumblebee. But her condition is precarious. Sheâll need time to recover, even if I succeed.â
The Autobots watched in tense silence as Ratchet worked tirelessly to stabilize Y/N. After what felt like hours, the medic finally stepped back, his frame slumping slightly from exhaustion.
âSheâll survive,â Ratchet said at last. âBut sheâll need rest and energon to regain her strength.â
Days passed, and Y/N began to show signs of improvement. Her remaining optic flickered weakly as she regained consciousness, but she remained quiet and disoriented. The Autobots were careful not to overwhelm her, giving her space to process her surroundings.
But as Y/Nâs condition improved, a difficult question arose: should they inform Knockout and the Decepticons about her survival?
âIâm not sure how I feel about this,â Bulkhead admitted during a private discussion in the main room. âI mean, sheâs Knockoutâs sister. He has a right to know sheâs alive.â
âAnd what happens if we tell him?â Arcee countered. âHeâs a Decepticon, Bulkhead. If he knows we have her, he might use it as an excuse to attack usâor worse, take her back to Megatron.â
âY/N was never really a fighter,â Bumblebee interjected, his beeps soft and thoughtful. âI donât think sheâd want to go back to that life.â
âRegardless of what she wants, itâs her choice,â Ratchet said, his tone firm. âSheâs not a prisoner here, and we are not her captors. But we canât make this decision for her.â
Optimus, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke. âThe question is not whether we should inform Knockout, but whether Y/N wishes for us to do so. When she is ready, we will ask her. Until then, we will respect her autonomy.â
The Autobots nodded in agreement, though unease still lingered among the group.
As the days went on, Y/N grew stronger, and with that strength came clarity. She began to interact more with the Autobots, listening to their stories and learning about their lives. Though she still carried the scarsâboth physical and emotionalâof her time with the Decepticons, she found a strange sense of comfort among her new companions.
One evening, as she sat quietly in the medbay, Ratchet approached her. He hesitated for a moment before speaking.
âY/N,â he began gently, âthereâs something we need to discuss.â
She turned to him, her optic dim but focused. âWhat is it?â
Ratchet sighed, leaning against the edge of the berth. âYour brother... Knockout. He believes youâre dead. Weâve been debating whether to inform him of your survival.â
Y/Nâs expression flickered with pain at the mention of Knockout. She hadnât forgotten her brotherânot for a moment. Despite everything, she still loved him. But the thought of returning to the Decepticons filled her with dread.
âI donât know if Iâm ready to face him,â she admitted, her voice trembling. âHe... heâd never forgive me if I stayed here. But I canât go back to that life, Ratchet. I canât.â
Ratchet nodded slowly, his optics filled with understanding. âYou donât have to make a decision right away. But know that whatever you choose, weâll support you.â
Y/N managed a faint smile, her spark warming at the kindness in his words. For the first time in a long while, she felt like she had a choiceâa chance to rebuild her life on her own terms.
The decision wasnât easy, but she knew one thing for certain: she wasnât the same bot who had left the Nemesis all those months ago.
And perhaps, in time, she could find a way to bridge the gap between her past and her future.
The year that followed Y/N's arrival at the Autobot base had been one of healing, growth, and transformation. Under the Autobots' guidance, she slowly regained her strength and found a new purpose. No longer the fragile and broken bot they had rescued, Y/N had embraced the Autobot cause, using her experiences to fight for a better future.
Her bond with her new allies had grown strong, especially with Bumblebee and Bulkhead, who treated her like a little sister. Though her frame still bore the scars of her time with the Decepticons, she carried herself with newfound confidence, wielding her past like armor.
But one thing she couldnât shake was the memory of her twin brother, Knockout. Despite all the pain and suffering, she still missed himâhis charm, his arrogance, the way he always managed to make her laugh. She often wondered if heâd moved on, if heâd forgiven himself for what had happened.
Unbeknownst to her, she was about to find out.
The Decepticons had launched a surprise assault on a remote Energon mine, and the Autobots had deployed to stop them. The battlefield was chaosâa flurry of blaster fire, clashing blades, and the deafening roar of explosions.
Y/N fought alongside her new family, her movements fluid and precise as she defended Bulkhead from a pair of Vehicons. Her optic narrowed as she brought her blade down on one, sending it crashing to the ground before turning to block the otherâs attack.
âNice work, Y/N!â Bulkhead shouted, smashing another Vehicon with his wrecking ball.
âDonât get cocky, Bulkhead!â she called back, her voice carrying a teasing edge. âWeâre not done yet!â
But as the battle raged on, a flash of crimson caught her optic, and her spark skipped a beat. There, amidst the chaos, was Knockout. He stood near the far edge of the battlefield, his polished frame glinting in the dim light of the mine.
He hadnât seen her yet.
Her grip on her weapon tightened as conflicting emotions surged through her sparkârelief, guilt, fear. For a moment, the battlefield seemed to fade away, and all she could see was her brother.
Knockout was in his element, darting around the battlefield with his usual flair. He didnât relish combat, but when necessary, he made sure to leave an impression.
âBreakdown, watch your six!â he called out, firing a shot that sent an Autobot stumbling back.
âGot it!â Breakdown shouted, slamming his hammer into the ground and creating a shockwave.
But as Knockout moved to cover his partner, his optics caught something that made him freeze in place.
There, fighting alongside the Autobots, was a frame he knew better than his own.
âY/N?â he whispered, his voice barely audible over the chaos.
It couldnât be. She was dead. Heâd seen her lifeless frame, held her cooling hand. And yet, there she wasâalive and fighting.
For a moment, he forgot about the battle entirely. His optics locked onto her, scanning every detail of her frame. The scars, the missing optic, the arm sheâd lostâall of it was still there. It was her.
âY/N!â he shouted, his voice breaking with a mix of disbelief and desperation.
Y/N heard his voice and turned, her optic meeting his. For a moment, time seemed to stand still as they stared at each other, the distance between them feeling both infinite and insignificant.
âKnockout...â she whispered, her voice trembling.
Before she could say anything else, another explosion rocked the battlefield, forcing them both to take cover. When the dust settled, Knockout was already running toward her, his expression a mixture of joy and anguish.
âWhatâwhat are you doing here?â he demanded, stopping just short of her. His optics roamed over her, as if he couldnât believe she was real. âYouâre supposed to be dead! I... I thought I lost you!â
âI thought I lost myself,â Y/N admitted, her voice soft but steady. âBut I survived, Knockout. The Autobots saved me.â
Knockoutâs expression shifted, his optics narrowing. âThe Autobots? Youâre... with them now?â
âThey gave me a second chance,â she said, stepping closer. âA chance to fight for something better. I couldnât go back, Knockout. I couldnât.â
Before Knockout could respond, Breakdownâs voice cut through the moment.
âKnockout! Behind you!â
Knockout turned just in time to see an Autobot charging toward him. He raised his weapon, but Y/N was faster. She leapt between them, blocking the attack with her blade.
âY/N, what are you doing?â Knockout shouted, his voice filled with panic.
âProtecting you!â she snapped, pushing the Autobot back.
The fight escalated as more bots joined the fray, and Y/N found herself caught between her old family and her new one. She fought desperately to keep Knockout safe while fending off attacks from both sides, her spark aching with every strike.
âY/N, stop this!â Knockout pleaded, his voice breaking. âCome back with me! We can fix thisâwe can fix everything!â
âI canât,â she said, her optic shimmering with unshed tears. âI canât go back, Knockout. I belong here now.â
âYou belong with me!â he shouted, his voice raw with emotion. âWeâre family, Y/N! Donât do this!â
âIâll always love you, big brother,â she said, her voice trembling. âBut this is my choice.â
As the battle reached its peak, an explosion tore through the mine, sending debris flying in all directions. In the chaos, Y/N was struck by a falling beam, pinning her to the ground.
âY/N!â Knockout screamed, rushing to her side. He dropped to his knees, frantically trying to lift the beam. âStay with me! Donât you dare leave me again!â
Y/Nâs frame was battered and broken, but she managed a weak smile. âItâs okay, Knockout,â she whispered. âIâm not leaving. Not this time.â
Before Knockout could respond, Optimus arrived, lifting the beam with ease. He glanced at Knockout but said nothing, his expression heavy with understanding.
âTake her,â Optimus said, his voice firm. âGet her out of here.â
Knockout hesitated, his optics darting between his sister and the battle raging around them. Finally, he nodded, lifting Y/N into his arms.
âIâve got you,â he whispered, his voice breaking. âIâve got you, little sister.â
As he carried her away from the battlefield, Y/N rested her helm against his chest, her spark filled with a strange sense of peace.
For the first time in a long while, they were together. And that was all that mattered.
(spoilers: there is going to be a little something for Christmas ;) )

Warnings- none in this chapter.
The haunting of a Ghost
Chapter 2
âArenât you supposed to be in bed, soldier.â
The sudden sound coming from behind you made you drop the empty glass in the sink as you let out a foul curse in surprise.
Beneath the kitchens archway stood sergeant Kyle Garrick with his arms crossed and an amused smirk on his dirty face.
âFucking hell Gaz, you almost gave me a damn heart attack.â You hissed at him, holding a hand over your heart thatâs about to jump out of your rib cage.
The nasty words you wanted to throw at him for sneaking up on you and giving you a fright simmered out when you took notice of the smudges of dirt decorating his face and camouflage uniform.
âItâs already been a week?â Your eyes took in his wearisome face as you mumbled out the question that mostly was to yourself.
You remember the night before he and a few others shipped out for a week long mission somewhere you werenât ranked high enough to know. It was the night. The one where Ghost chose to begin haunting your every waking moment after he burned his hooded eyes into your soul.
Gaz shoved himself off of the wall he had put his weight on and sauntered over to one of the round dining tables near you. With a weary sigh, he plopped down onto a chair and scratched his week old scruff.
âA long ass week. Successful and no major injuries on the team, though.â Thereâs a croaky undertone in his voice, hinting that he hasnât slept well enough for probably the entire week.
During the time youâve spent on this base, youâve only ever had one mission together with the sergeant, about a year ago or so. Vividly recollecting the cool demeanor he adapted the second your feet touched ground out from the helicopter. Gone was the lax and easygoing Gaz, instead an exceptional soldier revealed himself. It was an amazing thing to witness, only ever heard tales and buzz before of the adept super soldier he transformed into.
Outside of the war zone, you and Gaz became solid friends. Even though he ranked higher than you, he never treated you as inferior. Which was otherwise quite common with these macho soldiers.
Chewing on the inside of your cheeks, you wavered on whether you should bite the bullet and confess the thoughts thatâs been with you since his small departing party. If his teammate and close friend had some sort of feelings towards you. May it be infatuation or downright disgust. The mere knowing would vehemently calm your nerves and perhaps make it a bit easier to be around Ghost again.
The clock ticks on the wall. Itâs the witching hour, a time when supernatural beings are believed to be the strongest. You already have a ghost haunting you, all hours of the day.
Hastily fetching the glass and filling it up to the brim with water, you chug down half of it to moisten your throat that has now become not only dry from the earlier sweating but now also from trepidation from spilling whatâs been nagging you for seven days.
Your voice fails you as a strangled squeal leaves your lips instead of actual words. Gaz, lost in his own post mission musings, takes no notice and instead determinedly slams a hand on the table, making it rattle from the unintentional force.
âI need a shower before I bloody croak from exhaustion.â He declares, forcing his battered muscles to rise from the wobbly chair. âAnd you, need to get back to your bed, young lady.â Nodding his chin towards you, waving a weak goodbye as he leaves the kitchen.
And that was it. He went back to his barrack and left you standing with your jaw slack.
You did pity him, recognizing the toll an intense mission takes on oneâs mind and body. But you also resent him, just a tad, for not noticing the awkward behavior you clearly and unwillingly were presenting. You really wanted to get some goddamn answers and when the opportunity showed itself, you messed up and choked on water.
It seems you canât catch a break this week, you discontentedly thought to yourself as you marched back to the barracks where your sweat drenched poor excuse of a bed awaits you.
-
At noon, much to your chagrin, training was scheduled, hand to hand combat taught by some skilled superior. Thereâs been talks of a new instructor that will train you, no name had been given so itâs going to be a complete surprise.
Stood outside the gyms door, murky light made its way through the frosted glass and blurred out everything for you except for dancing shadows of people moving around in there.
It was an unusually cold day for mid autumn. Frosty tendrils of winds grazed your reddened cheeks as you contemplated today.
You reached for the metal doorhandle and was met with tiny sparks of pain as the sharp cold metal seeped into your skin. Retracting your hand instantly, checking your palm as if you had been burned with ice.
A crow flew over you, cawing its screech and looking like the textbook sign of a bad omen.
It certainly felt like it, being warned by something otherworldly to heed the signs and not enter the gym. Instead run away as far as you can and save yourself from whatever horrible destiny may lay inside these trepidatious doors.
If only participation wasnât needed.
Voices coming from behind the corner of the building pushed you into finally opening the heavy door with anxiety cursing through your warm blood vessels.
While inside, beelining it to the womenâs locker room, you sweep your eyes along the people on the workout machines and training mats. Scanning each person inside to find out if heâs here.
The insane physique the behemoth of a man has doesnât just magically appear. No, Ghost spend many hours in here, priming his mighty body and growing those thick muscles. His calamitous body and towering height is part of the reason he scares you, if he wishes he can easily crush your skull, pop it like a melon between his bulging biceps.
Nausea finds its way up your throat. To daydream about the countless way the lieutenant can end your life isnât the smartest thing to do. Not when youâre about to experience sparring and similar holds Ghost can use to blow out your light.
An idea lights itself inside your brain. What if you shift the attention to another version of him. The second, and most unlikely, guess on why he acts differently with you.
That he fancies you. The outcome would at least leave you alive in the end, right? Actually, thereâs a big chance you might not survive him in that scenario either.
You imagine what kind of immoral and depraved stuff Ghost must be into. Thereâs simply no way he prefer to be vanilla under the covers after the things heâs experienced in his somber life. A traumatic up-growing (heard once by a gossiping group passing by you) and a career as a cold blooded mercenary. No sane man survives such a chronicle of ungodly tribulations and comes out normal.
So, in a crestfallen conclusion, youâre dead meat either way.
Chatter from the girls in the locker room concludes youâre not the only one overstrung about todayâs practice. One of them had apparently overhead a higher ranking and very experienced soldier is to be todayâs instructor and that heâs going to absolutely break everyoneâs spirit. Just great, itâs exactly what you needed, having your soul crushed by man screaming how shitty you are.
Persistence to surviving the military life you signed yourself off to a couple years back, when life was meaningless and you needed a firm hand to guide you, makes you a bit gutsy though. And thatâs very much needed right now.
Proceeding to change into a black fitted T-shirt and matching gym leggings, you determinately march your way past the machines and land next to the other people here for the training. All standing in a neat row adjacent to the square training mat, patiently awaiting your instructor.
Youâre pending between taking the opportunity of having all your frustrations let out by pretend fighting with the others or to tell a small white lie that you pulled a muscle during your last workout and are going to have to sit this one out.
The unusually high anxiety thatâs been eating you up is putting you on edge, you can feel a phantom pair of dark eyes burning in the back of your head, it has you chewing on your nails and fidgety scanning the vast area. No oneâs paying you any attention, no oneâs even looking at you. Itâs all in your head, you keep saying to yourself trying to make the queasiness disappear.
Some unnoticeable breathing exercises and you think your heart rate has gone down again. The thrum of the heartbeats is no longer clogging up your hearing.
You release a haggard sigh and unclench your tense fingers.
Just as you finally find some peace, you hear the door to the gym open up and all the former lively voices fades and machines slows down into a strained silence.
You donât have to turn around and see who it was that just entered the building.
The raised hair on your arms and the rank smell of fear from the others reveals the persons identity. Not many can silence an entire room by just entering.
Ghost.

a quickie lil' Saturday night kink meme! â¨ď¸đâ¨ď¸
( for reasons that totally don't have annnnnything to do with me being extremely ADHD and/or susceptible to anons randomly asking me about fun writing meme options when I was already halfway debating doing a writing meme this weekend. definitely not. )
Send me an ask with a kink and a DC character and/or pairing included, and I will write you a lil' bit of related kink and/or porn in return! Also open to just getting sent a kink if you want surprised, and I'll do dealer's choice for the character or pairing.
Also-also, not a mandatory thing, but bonus points for:
a) rarepairs,
b) KON rarepairs,
and
c) giving me a reason why you think the kink vibes with the character/pairing.
Multiple requests are fine; just please send 'em in separate asks, it makes it way easier for me to answer them.
#meme#fair warning I might not post any of these for a day or two#depending on the response#though I will be starting writing them tonight#me: I'll see what responses this has so far--DAMMIT TUMBLR WHY DIDNâT YOU POST WHEN I TOLD YOU TO POST#this was supposed to be up like half an hour ago l o l

i have no CLUE what the general opinion of this book is because iâve been really good about staying entirely offline but can i just say that despite the issues i had with it (there are several) i genuinely deeply from the bottom of my heart really LOVED wind and truth. i need to sit with it for a while longer, and im still operating on the adrenaline rush of kaladin saying âhonor is dead but ill see what i can doâ again, but i really did love this book so much
#ANYWAYS I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ASLEEP TWO AND A HALF HOURS AGO GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY#vin speaks#wind and truth spoilers#wat spoilers

âOkay,â Mike echoes. âSo, I was â thinking. We should sleep together." Will, for some reason, still looks lost, but he looks cute â sweet, like that, pink cheeks and eyes wide and glossy and the slight furrow of his eyebrows like Mike has given him something outlandish. âI,â he starts, âdonât understand.â
Mike proposes a sleepover.
Unsurprisingly, no sleeping is done.
