Goood morning campers, I’ve been awake since 6am for reasons unknown so I put our lad through suffering. Have a bit of ‘Hydra gets over pressured during testing’, hope this is okay!
✨Want a mini fic? Send me an ask!✨
17012020 - an unknown stretch of land south of Manchester.
For likely the first time since he's been conscious, the new DOT-113 tanker has been left alone.
It's cold out, incredibly cold, but that doesn't bother him - he's cold all the time anyway, the chill has become second nature to him, but the snow that settles by their wheels is new. It has a fun texture too, as he scrunches a ball of flakes into his hands with a satisfying crunch.
Frustratingly, he doesn't know why he's been left alone. He's left the research centre a few times, sure, but usually to be taken from one repair shop to another for various parts and upgrades before hastily taken back again. This time, they pulled to a stop on a stretch of exposed track, fields stretching around them as far as the thick January fog will allow. The diesel that brought them here - a kindly, older chap with a well-worn dent in his left side - uncoupled quietly, wishing them well, and making his way further down the track, leaving DOT-113 abandoned.
At first, this was fine; the tanker knows someone will come back for them eventually. There's been far too much work put into them to be dumped in the middle of a random track, plus leaving him here to rot would pretty much be polluting, which is almost entirely what the company stands against. It's just the why that's messing with him - this feels intentional, from the engine leaving him behind to the specific placement of him down the track, but he can't figure out what test needs him out of the yard and onto the tracks like this. There's a grogginess in him today, though, like all of their new parts that were put on yesterday aren't quite fitting together properly, which isn't helped by the bleakness of his surroundings
There's a crackling in his ear, static and painful, and he jumps at the suddenness of it all; the speaker has only been used once before, a strange test a few months ago where all the engineers had to bunker down in a distant room, watching through cameras dotted around the room like hawks, and he didn't much like it then either.
"All clear," a voice reads through the speaker, and he spins to anticipate movement, but nothing shifts. As if the world holds a breath, nothing around him dares to even move; even the glass, dancing in slight breeze, seems to hold its position, but nothing changes. There's no jump scares, no explosion, no unexpected traffic on the lines, nothing. So they relax, roll their shoulders that were filled with tension, and take a deep breath of cold, wet January air.
Then pressure starts to build.
It's not an unfamiliar feeling, definitely not painful; they've been over pressured before, quite frequently in fact. Pressure capacity has been something that's been tested on him time and time again in various environments, so he knows this routine. In a few seconds his safety valves will blow - if pressure is still rising after ten more seconds, he's to activate the manual release which should solve the issue.
As expected, there's the familiar whistling pop of the safety valves on his collar, one then the other in perfect rhythm. Shutting his eyes tightly, he waits, ten, nine, eight, seven...
This is becoming uncomfortable.
Once they hit one, scrambling hands reach for the hand crank, peeling away the layers of padding and armour to reach the pop out wheel. With a hiss, the system gives, the familiar, if slightly strange looking vent in their right side opening wide; a cloud of gas erupts from it, white and cold against their hands as the water from the air seems to freeze against the vent instantly. There’s a second of relief as they take that second to grab one shuddering breath, before it soars back up. The billowing of gas from out of the two safety values and the relief vent doesn’t seem to be letting up, and the top half of his blank, unpainted armour is frosting over as he watches solid ice forming on all three valves.
Trembling hands drag blunt nails across the valve on his side, scratching and digging at the ice obscuring the exit. A few pieces shave off, but no large chunks like he wanted, and he can feel the ends of his fingers go numb as desperation sets in. Whatever pressure is stuck within him just isn’t shifting and he needs it to shift, he needs it to shift soon; he can’t see his gauges, but he can imagine exactly what they’re saying.
“Uh, Sir?” They call out to the expanse, praying there’s someone around to hear, “it’s not- the pressure’s not shifting like usual, something’s wrong- shit.”
A series of quiet warning beeps alert them to the fact that their left most safely valve is an icicle, and there’s a distinct lack of gas billowing from in. Instead, the pain is building as he grabs a stick to try and poke at the ice, like knifes or forceful hands in his tank, pushing and scraping and wrenching-
He can’t die here, he’s survived every test so far, he has so much to do. He doesn’t even have a name yet.
Something cracks and shatters forcefully; the ice, on their safety valve, the force of the escaping gas finally stronger than the ice. They’d breathe a sigh of relief if he could, but the pressure is so that they cannot expand their chest to breathe. So he goes back to digging at the bigger vent on his side, stabbing at it now, just trying to create whatever gaps in the ice they can before everything freezes completely-
“Air moisture overpressure scenario complete,” a staticky voice from the speaker says, and its distant in the tanker’s hearing to the point where he hardly registers it under the panic, “hold right there, DOT-113A60W, an engineering crew will be with you shortly.”
He nods mutely, ears mostly full of the cracking of ice and the rush of escaping gas. The pain has tunnel-visioned him, but he’s determined, now; he’s got to hold out until the team get here, because he’s strong and he survived this, and he wants them to know that.
They just have to hope they get here soon.

The Winter Soldier's POV
5AM, she’s awake, the sound of her alarm bringing her out of her head. She stretches for about 5 minutes before ultimately deciding she’s not getting up yet.
5:30AM, she wakes up again, but this time to the sound of a bunch of students outside her door. She stretches for about 5 minutes, and by that time the hallways are more relaxed, so she slowly gets out of bed, then goes into the bathroom to shower, brush her teeth, and do her hair. Along with anything else she might do.
By 6AM she’s out of the bathroom, and she goes to her little kitchen area to make herself something to eat. Every Monday it was a sandwich, but other days it was anything she could find from instant noodles to leftover lasagna.
6:15, she’s getting dressed for class.
6:30 she’s swinging her bag over her shoulders and she’s out of her dorm. And that’s when I make my move and climb through the window.
I leave the tree that’s right next to her window, all I have to do is reach over and lift it up since she thinks it’s useless to lock considering she’s on the third floor, so chances are, no one would be able to break in. Except me.
She’s different. There’s something about her that neither me or the Winter Soldier can understand. I know I had clear instructions to kill anyone on sight, and the plan at three in the morning was to shoot her then give myself stitches, but as soon as her eyes locked onto mine, I knew I wouldn’t be able to hurt her.
I’ve gone through her drawers, and learnt just about everything about her. Her name is Y/N, but none of her papers had her last name on it, and her ID was always with her so I never got to learn her last name, but soon I’d learn it from her personally. I just didn’t understand why her last name was so hard to find.
I haven’t been caught yet by her, I know her schedule like the back of my hand. She leaves her dorm at 6:30AM for her first class, then she comes back at 5PM every day, when her social battery finally runs out, but I’m normally out of the dorm room by 4:30.
Today though, she hadn’t come back like usual. I waited, and waited, and waited. I hadn’t been able to watch her yesterday, I had something that needed to be attended to. So when she hadn’t been in the bed this morning I was already confused. I wanted to assume that maybe she had gone to a party, gotten drunk, and stumbled into some boys bed, but she wasn’t like that. So I checked the camera I hooked up in her room, only to discover she had left with a few familiar faces, including Nick Fury. Now I don’t want to be considered a threat to the Avengers or to S.H.I.E.L.D, but if they lay a single hand on her, I won’t hesitate to blow out even Steve Rogers brain. She. Is. Mine…
Your POV
“Well, Ms. Jasper.” Agent Ross says. “Now we definitely know you’re hiding something.”
“Pretty sure my record is clean.”
“Oh yea it is. But maybe don’t use the name your father told you to use as an alias.” He tells you, sliding the tablet they had been using to look up your name over to you. On the screen was a clear image of your information, you had hacked into government systems when you were around the age of 10, and you had added your fake name to the systems in order to live your fake life. “I asked Stark to look it up, he swore he recognized the name, and your middle name gave it away. I mean come on. ‘Jasper Anthony Stark?’ Your father gave you that middle name for the sake of his own ego, no one else would do that.” He crosses his arms. “So Stark will be down here in a few minutes to talk to you, Y/N.” He finishes, then collects his belongings and leaves the room. Leaving you alone with Ned.
“You’re the smartest and also the absolutely stupidest person I know Y/N.” Ned whispers, hoping the A in the AV system wouldn’t pick up on him, which you were sure it would.
“Well just because I’m smart doesn’t mean I make good decisions. I mean look at me.” You uncross your arms and hold them out to make a point. “I’m not exactly a normal teenager.” You tell him, then lower your tone to a volume you know their system won’t pick up on. “I literally kill and torture people for a living!”
“Stark is on his way now.” A voice says over the speaker in the corner.
“Do you still have that bracelet I gave you?” You ask Ned, referring to the friendship bracelet that read ‘BFF’ on his wrist.
“Yea, why?”
“Hey, Ned.”
“Hey Mr. Stark.” Ned's voice raises by about 20 octaves as soon as Tony Stark enters the room. Then instead of doing something normal like I don’t know sitting on the chair, he awkwardly sits on the table, one leg on, one leg off.
“Now I was told that someone in this room is of high importance.” He says, staring directly at you. “I’m assuming it isn’t Ned, he’s just spider man's friend.” Ned voices a sound of disappointment, causing you to look over at him then you stare at the floor, not able to look your dad in the eyes any longer.
“Well I uh, have some really important work I need to do. So I think your guys should totally give me a ride back to my dorm.”
“Or you can actually look and speak to me like I’m your dad.”
“Except you're not.” You spit out, your voice laced with hatred. “You’ve done nothing but cause me pain ever since I’ve left you and you haven’t even made the slightest effort in the past eight years to try and find me.”
“Haven’t made an effort? I have been sending fucking search teams to France for fucks sake Y/N. It’s not my fault you’re good at hiding.”
“I’ve never left Manhattan.” You say plainly. “Unless it’s for work, but I’m in school right now so I don’t have work.”
“Where are you working?”
“None of your business, I’m 18 and a freshman in college.”
“You’re my daughter.”
“You sure as hell don’t act like I am.”
“How the hell did you manage to survive eight years on your own?”
“Someone took me in.”
“A piece of shit may I add.” Ned says suddenly, breaking the back and fourth between you and Stark.
“Oh yea how so?” Stark asks Ned.
“Well-” Your hand quickly covers his mouth, preventing him or at least making sure he couldn’t say whatever he was about to say.
Yea, you told Ned a majority of the abusive, and traumatizing things that happened to you while you were being cared for by a man named Ezekiel, or you at least had a roof over your head and were fed. Most days.
“So I would assume he wasn’t a good caretaker?”
“He’s my dad, that's all you need to know.”
“Pretty sure that’s my title.”
“Not after you abandoned me.”
“Abandoned you?”
“Uh huh.”
“Mr. Stark. Ms. Potts is calling, would you like me to answer or are you busy?” A new voice came over the speakers, it sounded like Jarvis.
“Yes you can answer, I’m done in here, and give strict instructions to everyone in the building to not let this girl out, Ned you can leave whenever, preferably now.” Stark says quickly before standing up. “Hey, hun, what’s up?” You hear him say, assumingly speaking to Virginia, and you turn your head as Ned speaks again.
“Family reunion, yay.”
About a week passed. You weren’t allowed to leave the tower, but you were given a small room to call yours. It had a bed, and a TV hanging on the wall across from it. It also had an amazing view from the city since one of the entire walls was a window, luckily, Stark is a tech geek so the windows can dim if you need some darkness. There was also a small bathroom and a walk-in closet, with all the little necessities you would need and a bunch of clothes.
You weren’t allowed to go to school, but Stark found a way for you to do everything online, which you hated.
You hated not being able to see your friends. You hated not being able to blast your music in your ears in class, or staying up until three in the morning missing your pink little toy. After doing nothing but complaining, they tried endlessly to offer you things like tablets and other expensive items to get you to shut up.
You settled with a pet fish. A cute little betta fish, she was white but she looked chrome when she swam around in her tank, a big one, which was another thing you had asked for. You named her Penelope, and she was the only thing keeping you sane.
“How’s the fish?”
“Her name is Penelope.” You told Sam Wilson as he just walks into your room, no knocking or anything. You don’t bother looking up from your tablet that you were drawing on as he enters.
“Well how is she?”
“Fine.”
“How are you?”
“Fine.”
“Do you need anything?”
“Fine.”
“Are you gonna actually say anything other than fine?”
“Fine.”
“Okay.” He sighs heavily and walks in front of Penelope's tank. “You know, part of the deal on you having this fish was you cooperate with us.”
“There’s nothing to cooperate on, you all know I’m his daughter, you just won’t let me go.”
“We won’t let you go cause you’re the only civilian we know that’s been in contact with Barnes and the only Civilian he seems to listen to.”
“Just a coincidence.”
“It can’t be a coincidence, Y/N.” He tells you, stepping close to your bed where you were sitting so you power off your tablet and look at him. “I don’t think you understand what it means when we tell you he can’t control his emotions when he’s being fucking brainwashed.” He gets closer, until he can whisper and you’ll still hear him. “So you better start talking little girl.” His tone threatens. “This man is a menace and a threat to society. Where. Is. He.”
“I. Don’t. Know.” You tell him, getting in his face to match his anger, you couldn’t voice how genuinely annoyed you’ve been over the past week, with the constant same questions you’re almost forced to make up a lie and tell them you’ve been hiding Barnes up your ass.
“You have a lot of fucking nerve, and I’d like to know where the hell you got it from.” He spits in your face as he speaks and it makes you wanna do nothing more than kick his future generation while you still have the chance.
“You learn to defend yourself when you’re in the streets while everyone else your age is singing the ABC’s.”
“Yea well I guess only good kids learn their ABC’s.” Sam tell you almost under his breath, then he taps Penelope’s fish tank two or three times before leaving your room, closing the door behind him, then you quickly get back into your tablet.
You close the drawing you had started and you go back into the coding for the towers security system that you had gotten into fairly easy. This way you could see everything, from the position of every security guard and Avenger, to every code that every camera was given, and you finally planned your way out, which would finally happen tonight so you could get back to your normal life.
“Where is she? How could she had possibly gotten out? I had every guard, every Agent, and every fucking Camera focused on her room.” Tony Stark's voice could be heard from across the lobby of the tower as he walks next to Steve Rogers and Happy Hogan.
“Well sir, it says here that she had hacked into the system, matter of fact she’s been doing it for a few days now.” Happy says through closed teeth, slightly annoyed after being pulled out of a very important meeting with quite literally the vice president. “And here it says…” He uses his index finger to gently push his glasses back down on his nose, and he looks down at the paper receipts. He decided it would be best to print out everything since apparently ‘paper cannot be hacked,’ even though what's on the papers is what was on the computers. “She basically got in, figured out the routes of every guard, figured out everyone's schedule, and then found out she had exactly one minute, thirty seven seconds, and six hundred and eight milliseconds of a window at exactly eleven thirteen at night.”
“She’s really fucking fast if she’s able to make it down from the thirteenth floor to the first floor in less than two minutes, while avoiding every bit of security I have.”
“Well like I said, she found a window, and it was exactly one minute and-”
“Thirty seven seconds, I know.” He groans. “I just can’t believe I have a ‘window’ in my security. Rogers?”
“Yes, Stark?” Rogers slows the three of them down to stop at the snack counter, grabbing a red, white, and blue donut which he takes a huge bite of.
“How would you suggest we fill this supposed ‘gap’ in our security?”
“Well you could hire two more men, and then set different shifts for everyone.”
“Two men? Why two?”
“Well, for every shift change there’s always two men.”
“Always two men huh? Well go ahead and tell one of the pairs that they’re gonna be alone, I don’t feel like hiring anyone.” Stark tells Rogers, but Steve just gives Happy a look and a nod, obviously not going to listen to Stark as they watch him approach the snack counter and ask them for his favourite donut.
“Do you have any more donuts with red, white, and blue sprinkles?”
“Ugh, finally.” You stretch and undo your hair as you finally get back to your dorm room after a whole week. You feel for the counter in the dark, then use your muscle memory to just make your way back to your bed, the one you so genuinely missed. “GAH! What the fuck!” You scream as you plop down onto the bed and quickly fall off as you land on something hard, then you quickly reach over to turn on the bedside lamp. “No.” You say quickly as the familiar blue eyes meet yours. “You need to get out, I want nothing to do with you.” Stressed, you run your hands through your hair before reaching for the man and trying to pull him out of your bed.
“Hey come on, calm down.” You freeze.
“Did you just say a full sentence without it sounding like it was scripted.” You stayed frozen, your fists were clutching both the centre of his chest and his bicep.
“Yea I’m a bit more normal when I’m not being brainwashed.” He tells you, and you gently let go of him.
“Wait, how many times have you slept in my bed without me being here?”
“Only this week.”
“And with me being here.”
“Only after you’ve had a long day.”
“That’s not nice to know.” You admit, still staring down at him before he finally sits up.
He wasn’t wearing his muzzle and he wasn’t dressed in a thick tactical vest like the two times you’d last seen him. Instead he was wearing a red henley, a dark T-shirt underneath, some jeans, and a heavy green jacket. You also noticed the filled black bag sitting on the floor next to the bed. “I kinda still need you to leave.”
“I don’t wanna.”
“Yea well sucks, I need you too.”
“Baby why are you shaking?”
“Shaking? I’m not- baby- shaking? Wait baby what?” Your brain absolutely fails, then he stands up, easily towering over you as he stares down into your eyes.
“Who’s the one that sounds weird when they talk now?” He asks you, and you want to back talk with a thousand sarcastic remarks, but the second your lips part, your voice is caught in your throat as the side of his index finger rests under your chin. “Now where have you been?”
“I-” You stutter. “The Avengers think I’m in control of you.”
“They think you are? You mean they know you are?”
“What? But I’m not.”
“No I’m not… what’re you talking about?” You ask, and he leans down, resting his forehead on yours.
“Doll, from the moment I walked into your dorm the first day I saw you, I have not been able to get you off my mind. I was the Winter Soldier when I walked into your room the first time, I wasn’t James.” His hands gently cup your face.
“You are in control of my every thought and my every move.”

Why do colleges and universities always choose inconvenience to every student over practical options?
I’m taking a 1 year certification course at a college in my province. Registration was meant to open today at 6am. Yesterday, the head of this program emailed us that he expects the course to fill quick so we should prioritize registering as soon as possible. Then we got an email from him that there’s a technical issue at the college but it should be resolved “by the end of the day” and he’ll email us as soon as it’s fixed.
Anyway, it’s 4pm now, it’s still down, I’ve still been awake since 6am because anxiety (despite my summer sleep schedule/rhythm putting my typical wake up at fucking noon).
Like I know it’s hard to pinpoint precise times for tech issues.
But for the love of god could you not just reschedule it to a concrete date/time in the future so you don’t have - what I expect is - a bunch of prospective students just waiting around all day?? Just say “sorry we’ll do it tomorrow at time” instead - and if you can’t make that work then idk do it the next day.
You see what I’m saying, right? Like if there’s a 40 person capacity and 40 people get the email and register but number 41 is busy at work or something and gets waitlisted because they didn’t know precisely when registration would open up? I mean, I’m sure 6am isn’t a good time for some people, but at least with a concrete window if they are at work or whatever they can make sure that’s when they take their break and register then.
I’m not the only person who’s frustrated when this happens, right????

Sometimes i walk away from front for a few hours, just hang out on the spine with a cup of coffee, and come back to find that we’ve finished a week and a half’s backup of homework and Adulting shit and caught up on our finals, all in one glorious furious fugue state of raw productivity. Sometimes is todaytimes.
I woke up at 6am yesterday and haven’t slept since. This has been the most dizzyingly productive single instance of Being Awake I’ve ever had maybe. Fuck.

I got up at noon. I’d been half awake since 6am but decided to sleep in and it was probably the best decision. I had a late, late breakfast. Then I walked to the gym in the coldest weather I’ve probably experienced. I felt the crisp air sting my face, I’m never stepping out without a scarf again at -10 degrees.
On the other hand I had a relatively successful workout. My workouts are ideally longer but I had to go grocery shopping as well and I was racing against nightfall. Got some turkey bacon strips and a box of protein pancake mix. Breakfast is my favorite meal of them all. I’m genuinely so excited to wake up tomorrow because I get to prepare a nice breakfast for myself. And sip my coffee while staring out the window looking at the snowy roads and lawns.
Can I say something else? Even though the haircut I got yesterday was the most costly one I’ve ever gotten I’m daring to say it was worth it. I really needed this pick-me-up. I felt so confident today without my split, damaged ends and my bouncy ‘do. God bless.

The council of the gays
We have convened the Council of the Gays™️!
Our pre-Christmas open house starts at 4pm and will go on until the last person leaves (or falls asleep). I’ve been awake since before 6am due to the wind and rain battering our apartment building. So it’s going to be a toss-up as to whether I’ll make it to midnight.
I also have a ton of tasks that overspilled from yesterday due to intensely annoying work events. So I’m scrambling to get organised before the first of our friends arrives later. And if I’m honest, I’m going to need a power nap before 4pm, and then just one or two Diet Cokes to keep some kind of focus.
Anyway.
Based on previous years, it’s going to be a really fun night. I just need to remember to take more photos. I always seem to forget and then have to rely on a substantially degraded memory of the evening.
First up: have a shower. And then another coffee… ☕️

not to be a hypocrite but do you ever see your friends online at hours which they should be sleeping and it’s like bestie please go to bed
#whimsy whispers#which is hypocritical of me because I’m one of the people who stays up til like 5am#i didn’t yesterday though like I actually went to bed at around 1am which I rarely do#but the reason for that is that I woke up at 6am and I’ve been awake ever since#it’s 8am now#this is hell#anyways y’all should go to sleep if you’re able#i am gently tucking y’all into bed

you were asleep in the bed you shared, stirring awake as you looked at the scene that unfolded before you.
you looked at the cot, your daughter sleeping deeply and then to your left you saw your husband.
you sat up and pecked kisses all over his jaw and his cheek, which slowly and surely woke him up.
“good morning my love.” you said.
“morning y/n.”
you both shared a morning kiss, you shifted slightly so that now you were on top of him, resting your head on his chest perking up here and there.
“did you sleep well my love?” you asked, severus nodded which brought a smile to your face.
you placed kisses all over his face and placed a small kiss to his nose.
“what on earth are you doing my dear?” he asked.
“just showing you how much i love every part of you sweetheart.” you answered.
severus didn’t argue, he let you do so. in fact it warmed his heart that you loved him this much.
your chin laid on his chest as you played around with his hair, letting it fall into your grasp. in the moments where you got some peace and quiet, you were both very close in each other’s touch, in a comfortable and poignant silence as you both held each other.
“you’re so beautiful y/n, my little kitten.” he said.
“kitten huh? you haven’t called me that one in a while.” you perked up.
“it simply rolls off the tongue so well, especially with you.” he admitted.
you giggled as you brought your hands to his cheeks.
“so you want to play this game hm? i’ll admit to you, you’re so amazing. juggling so much in just one day, i couldn’t be more proud of you.” severus said.
you giggled and your smile grew bigger.
“you’re such a good girl…hm?” he teased.
you sunk into severus’ hair, hiding away your thoughts.
severus’ fingers laid on your chin bringing them up so you both looked into each other’s eyes.
“what are you thinking of my dear?” he asked.
“you…”
“you’re always thinking of me.”
“i always will.”
you both shared a kiss, more deeper than the last one. you both heard sapphire making noises in her sleep, you both turned to her as your intimate moment was undoubtedly cut short.
“time to get back to our duties.” you said, pouting slightly as you wished for this moment to last.
you got off of severus’ body, getting out some clothes from your wardrobe. you had to go to hogwarts today, you were a visiting teacher at hogwarts. with the new roles of mum and dad obviously being handed to you by life, you split severus’ very stressful and chaotic work schedule between the two of you.
today you had to go into hogwarts, you wanted it to be the weekend everyday but unfortunately you couldn’t control time and you had a job to do.
you put on your work clothes, grabbing a hold of severus’ cloak and wrapping it over your body.
every time you put that cloak you always found yourself to be the most confident woman on earth.
“you know what that means don’t you?” you asked.
“i’ll be home with sapphire.” your husband answered.
“you’ll be fine with her right?”
“of course my love, i’ll call for a patronus if anything goes wrong.”
“you know what time to give her, her bottle right?”
“of course.”
severus left you to get yourself ready, he went to your bedroom who picked up sapphire who was wide awake by this point, giggling when she was in her dad’s arms.
the fact that severus knew what the routine was, put you at ease. you grabbed a hold of your bag and adjusting the cloak.
“right then, i’ll be off…have fun with her alright.” you said.
“i will my dear, have a good day. i love you.” he left a kiss to your head and you returned the affection back to him.
“i will…i love you too.” you said before leaving and apparating to hogwarts.
“be a good girl for daddy.” you said to your baby daughter as your kissed her head and left the home
severus looked up at the clock, it was almost eight.
he heard sapphires cries which deafened the whole house. severus had calmed her down, rocking her up and down gently.
he whispered little affirmations to her that calmed her down and left her babbling and giggling.
“come on sapphy, lets get you some breakfast.”
severus put out the baby food on the table and fed sapphire who had been slowly obeying her father and eating her food.
once breakfast was over and down with, he held sapphire in his arms and closed the kitchen door, now he was in the living and he put sapphire down and he sat down at the nearest arm chair.
he watched sapphire crawl around on the floor, soon her attention was grabbed by the fluffy teddy bear within arms reach. she had been waving it around for quite a whole and biting on the stuffed toy for a bit. severus looked down at his daughter with the toy in her mouth.
“now now sapphy, you shouldn’t have that in your mouth.” severus said softly, gently taking the teddy bear out of its misery and putting it on the window sill. he then sat back down and got back to reading his copy of the daily prophet.
but the reading was cut short as he looked at sapphire who was trying to stand up on her own and then her fingers reached up to the daily prophet.
“what is it sapphire?” he asked. sapphire had been babbling for a bit, he then smiled and put the newspaper down.
he went to the ground and helped his daughter try to stand on her own two feet. for a baby, sapphire was shockingly clever, being able to stand on her own for at least a few seconds before falling to the ground again. but luckily for sapphire, she never fell. her father was always there.
“keep still for daddy. there we go.” severus eventually let go of her hands, sapphire squealed excitedly before almost stumbling forward but luckily severus caught her just in time.
sapphire giggled loudly as she looked up at her father’s face of relief. “you scared me there princess.” he chuckled when he saw her smile.
severus kissed the top of her head, lifting her to her playroom where she had the freedom to do whatever she pleased. severus looked around the room, a smile laid to his face as he looked at the toys that laid all over the place.
sapphire crawled to the huge fluffy swan that was in the corner of the room. she tried to slowly stand up without her father’s help but babbled when she found herself struggling, severus rushed to her and helped her up, soon she found herself flopping onto the fluffy swan.
the swan happened to be your patronus, so seeing sapphire so attached to his melted his heart. severus knew that sapphire’s patronus would be just like her mother and father’s.
sapphire went back on all 4’s and crawled away from her father.
“sapphire! princess come back.”
sapphire was trying to crawl away from her father but he slowly caught up to her and then begun to chase after her as slowly as she could.
“got you princess.”
severus caught onto her ankle and sapphire squealed, her hands on severus’ chest as she giggled away. sapphire’s laughter was all severus could hear, it warmed his heart that this was what he would wake up to on most days.
as time passed, severus managed to feed her once more. giving her the bottle of milk at your request.
once sapphire was well fed, it had been another round of playtime to which severus decided to play hide and seek. he had been so focused on his daughter, he didn’t hear you sneaking right into the home.
“sapphy, where are you princess?”
you heard your husband’s voice, he was trying to hold back his laughs. you leaned on the doorframe, watching your husband become so gentle around sapphire.
severus found his beloved daughter and attacked her with tickles until she had no giggles left in her.
“well looks like you’re having lots of fun.” you said, approaching your favourite people. severus’ brows furrowed and his cheeks became flushed, like he was caught doing something.
“welcome back my dear.” he pecked your lips and you took sapphire from his grasp.
“looks like you’re daddy’s little princess huh?” you cooed at your daughter, kissing her cheek and sapphire soon fell into another giggle.
“she’s a mummy’s girl, she was crying for you earlier.” he said.
“aww sapphy, mummy and daddy’s always here for you.” you cooed to the girl again.
“m-mamma.”
you both looked at each other in absolute disbelief.
were you hearing that correctly?
“sapphire, where’s mummy?”
sapphire’s hands were now on your face.
“mamma, mamma.”
you bursted into fits of giggles.
“what did i just tell you?” severus said, you both knew that sapphire will get round to recognizing her father soon, and that would be very quick.
“her first words, sev! can you believe you’ve just heard her first words?” you said.
severus was still in shock that he got to witness such a precious moment.
“she’ll find daddy soon, isn’t that right princess?” you said. sapphire only giggled.
you looked up at severus with a warm smile, and severus smiled back. kissing the top of your head, all three of you were on the floor as you were both in utter bliss that this was your daughter.
like you said, she was going to make the both of you very proud.
꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ
“mummy mummy, look what i made!”
you had been downstairs in the potions lab you had finished making batches of calming draughts and you had done so for quite a while. so seeing your daughter sapphire made you a little bit too aware of how much time had gone past.
“sapphy sweetie, hello! why don’t we go upstairs eh?” you suggested, sapphire obeyed as she watched you clean up the potions lab, she was in such awe over how quick you managed to clean the room up.
“i’m sure daddy will teach you that soon!” you said, you grabbed a hold of her hand you went upstairs and sat her down on the sofa.
“sapphire, remember what did we say earlier?” you asked.
“not to go to the potions room.” she answered, letting out a small pout.
“good girl, you’re still very tiny and anything can happen in there and we don’t want you…to turn into a mouse!” you said tickling her sides as she then let out a squeal of laughter.
“mummy!” she squealed. you both laughed away, you were right though. you didn’t want anything to happen if she had gone into the potions lab without yours or severus’ permission.
“now what is it you’d like to show me?” you asked, sapphire unravelled her piece of paper. what was before you was a plan of the living room.
“its almost halloween, can we paint the house?” she asked, you couldn’t help but let out a giggle.
“well we can’t paint the whole room orange, though i will admit the house does need a little retouching.” you said.
“although i do have a better idea, come with me.” you said, gesturing your daughter to follow you.
you went to the cupboard under the stairs and turned to the room opposite the potions lab, you picked up a box and you opened it in front of sapphire. she picked up the decorations and smiled.
“yes! yes! mummy these are perfect!” the 9 year old happily replied, you did nothing but watch her get excited over these decorations.
“come on, lets go put them up. we can surprise daddy with it!” you offered, and sapphire nodded.
you helped her put up the decorations in the living room, you had put on some muggle music to help her get into the halloween spirits. she giggled and started doing little bops here and there.
it wasn’t rare of you or severus that you also made her accustomed to the muggle life. since you and him were both half-bloods, you both had a duty to cherish and protect her from all sorts of harm from the wizarding world the muggle world.
“mummy, what’s daddy’s favourite song?” sapphire asked as she was putting miniature bats all over the house.
you knew this answer, and it made you smile even more knowing how intrigued she was.
“well…daddy’s favourite song is also my favourite song too, would you like to hear it?” you asked.
“yes yes yes mummy!” she nodded and that prompted you to go to the music player and put the song on.
“loneliness is the cloak you wear, a deep shade of blue is always there…” sapphire looked over to the music player.
“that’s daddy’s voice!”
“the sun ain't gonna shine anymore, the moon ain't gonna rise in the sky. the tears are always clouding your eyes, when you're without love, baby.” then she heard both of your voices together.
“mummy that’s you!” she giggled.
you and severus always wanted to share that song with sapphire, you obviously beat him to it. but to make it even more special, you and your husband made a special recording for sapphire so that it would always make her happy, and would cheer her up at her lowest points.
“the sun ain't gonna shine anymore, the moon ain't gonna rise in the sky. the tears are always clouding your eyes, when you're without love!” you both sang as you fell to the sofa taking in your now newly decorated living room giggling away. and as if by chance, severus had arrived back home.
“daddy!” sapphire squealed jumping into her father’s arms.
you smiled warmly at your husband who had gotten back from hogwarts.
“i see you decorated without me…you both wound me my girls.” he dramatically pressed his hands to his chest and the both of you giggled away.
“welcome home sev.” you said pressing a kiss to his cheek.
“you showed her the song.” he picked up that the recording of you and him singing was playing around the house.
“looks like i beat you to it sevvy.” you giggled kissing him again, both your attention turned to your daughter who had been begging for a little halloween party.
to which neither of you couldn’t say no.
“daddy, you’re supposed to be something for halloween.” she said.
“what’s wrong with my costume sapphire?” he asked raising a funny little brow at her.
“its very you.” she quipped.
“well…i am very scary.” severus admitted.
“no you’re not.”
“yes i am, but you my sweetheart don’t see it.” he admitted.
you quickly got changed into a quick costume. you slid down the banisters of the stairs and showed your little family the costume you had.
“mummy’s a princess!” sapphire said.
“yes she is, she’s my little princess.” severus said, sapphire hadn’t picked up the fact he was teasing her mother.
your cheeks heated up, giggling and hiding your flustered state in his hair. severus hugged you from the side as he looked down at his daughter and hugged her too.
it wasn’t a party party so to speak, but it was something that made sapphire happy. you and sapphire both danced away whilst spooky music was playing in the background. severus watched the scenes unfold and he couldn’t help but join in.
even if he did have two left feet.
sapphire giggled at what looked like severus’ little jig, severus lips curled into what looked like a smile. you smiled at your husband who looked like he was having a good time.
after what seemed like hours, sapphire had been exhausted and fell asleep on the sofa. she was laid on your lap as you and severus both decided to flick on a movie to watch together.
“i’ll take her to bed.” you said as you carried your tired 8 year old to her bedroom. you tucked her into bed and kissed the top of her head.
“sweet dreams my love, we’ll see you in the morning sapphire.” you whispered before putting one of her teddy bears beside her before you turned on the night light and closed the door on her.
“did you turn on the night light?” severus asked.
“yep.”
you both inevitably relaxed on the sofa, you put on a fantasy adventure movie. your preferences were no doubt completely in sync with one another.
you beamed when the title screen had come on, you were watching robin hood: prince of thieves with him.
bizarrely, severus actually liked this movie. it was the first muggle movie that he had watched with you, he was completely hooked onto it with some of the dialogues from the script still stuck in his head and the ongoing debate that severus must have been an actor in a past life.
“locksley! i’m gonna cut your heart out with a spoon!” you both recited alongside the movie, falling into laughter.
“see look, the sheriff on nottingham is basically you. its so uncanny.” you said getting up and pointing to the screen.
“darling i’m telling you there is no way i could be him.”
“you look like him.”
“no i don’t.”
“yes you do.”
“no i don’t.”
“yes you do.”
“no i don’t.”
“yes you do.”
“no i don’t.”
“yes you do.”
“no i don’t.”
“yes you do.”
you bickered a little on this topic for more than 10 minutes before eventually you continued to watch the movie
“why a spoon, cousin? why not an axe?”
“because it's dull, you twit! it'll hurt more!”
you both recited again wholeheartedly. you couldn’t help but let yourself relax in severus’ arms as you watched the movie go into absolute chaos.
when the movie ended, you lazed around on the sofa as severus held you in his arms. he looked around the house for a moment, drawings that sapphire had done were all over the walls as the halloween decorations accompanied it alongside. it was a pleasant sight for him to always come back to.
“you know y/n, you are a wonderful mother…and i’m so proud of you.” severus said, kissing the top of your head as you then looked up to him and smiled.
“you’re a wonderful dad.” you replied.
you sat up slowly and kissed him softly, as you both pulled away from the kiss as the house fell into a comfortable silence.
“she’s gonna make us proud that one.” severus said.
“oh just you wait till she comes to hogwarts.” you said, winking at him as both shared a few laughs and kissed each other once more.
“i love you severus.”
“i love you too y/n.”
꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ
new things had been happening for the snape family. you would be starting out as the new muggle art teacher, severus was back in potions and had applied to also become the defence the dark arts teacher but again, failed at the hands of gilderoy lockheart.
but aside from that, your daughter sapphire tatiana snape was starting hogwarts. you couldn’t have been more happier.
but you knew that sapphire would face a few hardships here and there, you reassured her that if anything were to happen to her, you instructed her to come to you or your father and they would help her till the very end.
“sapphire go to the front here, i’ll be at the table with your dad okay.” you said.
sapphire nodded and stood at the very front. you went to the front table and saw the new defence against the dark arts teacher.
“oh hellooo there, we have a new flower blossoming here…” gilderoy approached you.
“gilderoy…” his name left great disgust in your tone.
“ah she knows my name. and who might you be?”
“y/n, y/n-”
“snape.” you turned to see your husband, who just so happened to finish the sentence.
“y/n snape.”
gilderoy gulped slightly, looking at the couple.
“shouldn’t you be in dumbledore’s office signing your entire life away to hogwarts?” you quipped.
“very well…i should be going, nice to see you both.” gilderoy choked out before walking away.
you looked up at your husband and let out a giggle.
“what a blithering idiot.” you muttered.
“he won’t last two seconds here.” severus said.
“does anyone in the d.a.d.a post ever last more than 2 seconds?” you said.
you both giggled to yourselves as you both made your way to the front, looking at the great hall filled with kids.
as the new 1st years got assigned to their houses, you both eyed sapphire who had been fiddling with her jumper. anxious to see what her predicament would be.
“sapphire snape.” minerva called.
you stepped forward, your fellow 1st years muttering things about the girl. they hadn’t a clue who she was and what her goals were but it made them ever curious.
“slytherin!” the sorting hat called without any hesitancy.
the students in the slytherin table cheered and applauded. even you and severus stood up and clapped for your daughter who had been greeted and congratulated by the many students surrounding her.
you both looked at your daughter who happened to wave at you, you and severus waved back with pride.
she was going to be a great addition to slytherin and the pair of you knew that anyone who hurt her would eventually have to deal with them.
with both her mother and father teaching at hogwarts, sapphire snape was the unstoppable girl.
she would not be beaten.
sapphire looked over to her mum and dad who were just about to head out to their own classrooms.
“mum, dad! wait up!” she called, you and severus both turned around and saw their daughter approaching them.
you perked a smile and let her join you. some of the students in the other houses were in absolute disbelief that severus snape had a family.
severus snape…the potions professor…had a life?
to them that was uncalled for.
“who was that getting all weird with mum?” she asked.
“that is unfortunately your new defence against eh dark arts teacher…gilderoy lockheart.” you sighed, severus didn’t even bother saying his name considering he literally took the job he wanted.
“he was getting all cozy with you mum.” she muttered.
severus only chuckled at the worry his daughter had. she was most definitely a mummy’s girl.
always have been.
“don’t worry sapph, your father here took care of it.”
“you stood there and it was enough to make him run away.”
“i told you, i’m the scariest thing there is.”
you and sapphire giggled, ruffling her hair and accompanying her to the dorms.
“are you sure you’ll be fine here?” you asked.
“yes…maybe…” her expressions soon turned little as she begun to worry about the year ahead.
“come, lets go to dad’s class. he’ll make you the best lemon tea there is!” you offered.
that was enough to put a smile on sapphire’s face, the three of you went to the classroom and there severus was, brewing a lemon tea for his favourite people in the world. severus was never one to pick favourites in his life but of course, if you or sapphire were mentioned he would pick the both of you in a heartbeat.
“now what’s on your mind sapph?” you asked, both you and severus paid very close attention to your daughter who had been very anxious about hogwarts.
sapphire explained that she was worried about being lonely, that she wouldn’t have any friends at hogwarts, considering she saw groups of first years who had known each other before, perhaps from a muggle primary school. she was worried that people would pick on her because she was a snape and that people would hurt her much like her father had been hurt.
it was a mixture of 1st year blues alongside new worries that kept the poor girl awake at night. you’d often remembered in the days counting, she wouldn’t be able to sleep in her own bed, sleeping on the sofa out of nerves.
“sapphire you will have a good time here at hogwarts, trust us. we’ve both been here…well i don’t know the school just as well like your father but, this is all very new to me too. if you have any problem here, come to me or your father.” you reassured her, as you both sipped your tea you looked over to severus wondering if he had any advice in him.
“your friends will come to you soon, whether it be a day, a week a month…maybe even two years. i can assure you sapphire that you will never be alone. you have us, and obviously you’ll be on your own for some time and that is all in good time.” severus said.
“you’re sapphire snape. you’re gonna do the unstoppable, the unthinkable but you’ll make me and your father proud.” you comforted your daughter who had now been smiling over the advice her parents gave her.
slowly accepting it into her own.
“thanks mum, thanks dad. you’re the best!” she said, her smile didn’t leave her face.
“come now, let us accompany you to the slytherin dorms."
when you left her in the common room with her fellow house mates, you looked over to some of the students who had shot glares at the couple before they both walked off.
as time slowly progressed sapphire looked like she was settling well at hogwarts, she accepted the fact that most of her time was spent alone, but that was completely fine. it showed her focus and dedication to her studies. she answered every question that every teacher asked her and that garnered her house more points than ever.
but today had been pretty bad for the girl, she was unfortunately made crash dummy of the day for the pathetic defence against the dark arts teacher.
whilst everyone had been swooning and falling head over eels for him, you held a grudge. you weren’t going to forgive him for attempting to flirt at your mother.
you and severus had already been in the call for quite a bit so seeing sapphire’s uniform completely ruined shocked you and severus.
“can i please scream…can i please scream?” sapphire asked.
you grabbed your wand and put silencing charms all over the room.
“be our guest.” you said.
sapphire had let out screams of complete stress, to which severus actually covered his ears.
after a few more screams, you noticed that by this point she was going to damage her voice, you shot a look to severus that instantly made him get up and get his daughter a calming draught.
“sapphy honey! that’s enough” you said comfirting your daughter as she let out a few pants after her screams.
“that felt good.” was all she said.
“sapphire you’ll damage your voice if you keep screaming this viscerally.” you said.
“here…” severus offered her the calming draught which sapphire cautiously took sips from.
“was it lockheart?” severus asked.
sapphire nodded.
“and he unleashed a hippogriff into the classroom and of course i had to be professor lockheart’s crash dummy.” sapphire said, with such detest in her voice.
severus waved his wand and now your uniform was instantly back to normal.
“thanks dad.” she said.
“there’s going to be a halloween ball soon, are you going to join?” sapphire asked her parents.
“i’ll be there, your father on the other hand probably won’t be there out of second hand embarrassment.” you teased, to which you were greeted with a book being playfully whacked against your head.
“relax i’m kidding!” you giggled.
“eitherway, staff and students alike have to be there plus your father can’t resist taking house points for any prank he sees fit.” you added.
“dad won’t take any house points from me right?” sapphire couldn’t help but ask.
“we would never do such a thing to you, and beside you impress us more and more each day.” severus said, pressing a kiss to his daughter’s forehead.
“oh oh i have to go, i promised to help professor flitwick today!” sapphire quipped, she hugged you and hugged severus, both as tightly as she could before waving goodbye to her parents.
“she’s doing so well here.” you said.
“sapphire has no doubt learnt from the best.” severus admitted.
you only smiled up at him and pressed a soft kiss to his lips, to which he obviously couldn’t resist.
“oh y/n…you’ve been such a bad girl.” he mumbled.
“have i really been a bad bad girl?” you teased.
“teasing your professor is something you can’t get away with.” he held back a smirk as he looked into your eyes for a moment.
“we’re both professors you idiot.” you joked.
those were the last things you said before he pulled you into a deep kiss, your lips colliding with his as the scent of parchment paper lingered all over the classroom.
you pulled away when you weren’t able to cath your breath, “you have a class soon.” you reminded him.
“class can wait…it looks as if i need to teach my favourite student…a lesson.” he admitted deeply.
“favourite student huh? i’d never thought you’d be this…scandalous.” you teased.
severus then took you into his stores and closed the door, he pinned you to it as he placed several kisses all over your lips, he then found himself leaving love bites all over your neck as you let out a soft moan.
that was pleasing to the ears.
his hands felt at your waist as you wrapped you arms around him and you let him leave love marks on your shoulder. you tilted his face to meet yours. your lips made his way to his neck, leaving a mark on there.
you both shared one last kiss. making it as tender and passionate as possible, before pulling away
“such a good girl…” he murmured.
your cheeks heated up as you perked a shy smile. “you’ve been so good my love.” he whispered again.
“i guess i’ll be returning the favour soon sev.” you smirked.
“i’ll see you at the halloween ball then…professor.” you winked as you let out a giggle and walked out, making your way to your classroom.
severus watched you go, severus’ eyes had been filled with love, such desire. the fact that he was loved, only made his heart warm. you were the reason he married you, your personality was what made him thrive. and it warmed his heart at how kind you were, to the people around you, to your little family.
that was the life he lead.
꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ
when the day of the halloween ball arrived, you helped sapphire get into her ballgown.
“do you wanna show dad?” you asked, sapphire nodded going outside and there her father stood. in his usual attire but inside, he was beaming.
his daughter made the whole world shine, “sapphire you look lovely.” he said kissing her head.
sapphire did a little spin and smiled at her mum and dad who couldn’t have been more proud.
you all entered as a family which deserved some looks here and there.
“your father and i going to patrol the event okay, you’ll be fine right?” you asked.
“i think so.” she nodded.
“right…have fun okay.” you said, letting her go into the crowd.
the patrol had been as usual, severus took house points for any misbehaviour, you were there to comfort and have casual chats with the students and staff.
severus looked over to his daughter who looked as if she was looking out for someone.
as the hour passed, sapphire looked sad. and alone, she looked to her parents who had been dancing together, no doubt she was happy but this year was solidified.
she was going to be alone.
sapphire walked out which sparked the attention of you and your husband, as you searched for sapphire you knew where she would be…the astronomy tower.
you both knew that students couldn’t be up there, how she managed to get in was besides the point, your daughter was sad and you both had to comfort her.
she cried as you both hugged her lovingly, reassuring her that everything will be okay.
severus looked over to you, it looked like he had a trick up his sleeve, you grabbed your wand and both waved your wands around the astronomy tower, which was decorated in the same halloween decorations she was familiar with when she was younger.
“you…still have them?” sapphire sniffled.
“you know your mother by now.” severus said.
“we can have our own halloween ball…right here.” you said. sapphire smiled at that idea. you put on the music player and what was always playing was the family’s favourite song.
“the sun ain't gonna shine anymore.”
“the sun ain’t gonna shine anymore.”
“the moon ain't gonna rise in the sky.”
“the moon ain't gonna rise in the sky.”
“the tears are always clouding your eyes.”
“when you're without love!”
the three of you danced to that song, singing the lyrics back and forth to one another and you both fell to the floor. nothing but laughter and happiness radiated from this little family.
you and severus wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
you would do anything to make your daughter happy.
severus would do anything to make his wife and daughter happy.
and that was something he swore to do.
꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ
“didn’t think you two would go off to the halloween ball without me huh?”
you both turned back and saw your daughter in that beautiful dress.
now she was in her fifth year, almost all grown up. she looked over to her mother and father, your smile still lingering as you both let her join in with you on your walk to the great hall.
“you look absolutely lovely saph.” severus said.
“why thank you dad…you too don’t look so bad for someone who wears the same 3 cloaks over and over again.” sapphire said.
you giggled at how playful your daughter was.
“so saph, i hear you have a partner for this dance…is that correct?” you asked, severus shot a look at his daughter.
“relax dad, we’re not like that…we’re just friends.”
“that’s what they always say, next hour she’ll come to me with a ring on her finger.”
“dad!” sapphire giggled.
“oh look there he is now!” she beamed going over to what seemed to be the lucky boy.
cedric diggory.
“a slytherin and a hufflepuff. that’s something you don’t see everyday.” you said, nudging his arm a little.
“mum dad, i assume you know who he is.” sapphire said, bring cedric in front of you both.
“cedric diggory, your reputation proceeds you.” severus said.
“likewise professor snape, professor l/n…snape? i take it.” cedric said, confused at what to call you.
“oh call me professor l/n snape. i merged the two names together so that nobody would get confused. its nice to meet you cedric.” you said, shaking his hand.
“cedric’s partner couldn’t make it so he asked me and i obviously said yes.” sapphire smiled.
“she’s quite lovely for a slytherin.” cedric admitted.
“oh you, hush or we’ll miss out on the pumpkin canapes.” sapphire said, playfully punching his shoulder.
you and your husband couldn’t help but giggle at the two. their daughter really hadn’t changed and you couldn’t help but smile at her growth.
“go on, have fun okay…oh and sapph, meet us at the astronomy tower when you’re done.” you said.
“will do mum, don’t have too much fun without me.” she said, waving to her parents before being ushered away by cedric to participate in the dance.
you looked over to severus, who looked out for his daughter with for once, a smile to his.
“are you crying?”
severus looked over to you and wiped away the very obvious tears that ran down his face.
“no i wasn’t.”
“yes you were.”
“no i wasn’t.”
“yes you were.”
“no i wasn’t.”
“yes you were.”
“no i wasn’t.”
“yes you were.”
“you were crying sevvy, admit it.” you giggled which was then replied with a simple roll of the eyes from severus.
“that’s our daughter right there.” you said.
“she’s grown up so fast.” severus replied.
“are you proud of her?” you asked.
“i’ll always will be.” he said.
“and do you know what y/n…i’m proud of you.” severus said pressing his lips to yours lovingly.
you smiled and hugged your husband as you oversaw the scene at hand. but before you could get intimate with one another, you heard a bang nearby. you looked over to your daughter who pointed at the situation at hand, both of you relieved that she wasn’t apart of it.
“50 points from gryffindor.” severus bluntly said.
that was greeted by groans and mutters from the gryffindor students.
that aside, you looked over to your daughter who looked like she was having a good time.
when the ball was over, sapphire bade her goodbyes to cedric. leaving to go to the astronomy tower, “mum what was it you wanted?” she called.
sapphire looked over at the scene that unravelled, a dinner table and around them.
the halloween decorations.
the same ones.
she never got old of them.
“mum, dad…i love it.” she beamed.
“come along saph.” severus said, ushering her to join.
with no hesitation sapphire joined them. the three had a halloween dinner fit for a royal family.
you and severus told sapphire stories from the early stages of their relationship, whilst sapphire spoke of the ball, how divine hogwarts looked and whilst she picked up only a few friends along the way, nothing could compare to the love she had for her family.
the night was concluded when the three of you decided to do some stargazing, looking up at all the constellations.
sapphire was in complete awe of the sky, how beautiful it was. she looked over to you and severus who had been sat on the balcony.
“i’m so proud of you y/n…my love.” severus said.
“i’m more proud of you, severus.”
you both shared a soft kiss, which was interrupted by your daughter who said, “still here… don’t think you’ve forgotten me yet.”
you and severus only laughed, shifting up a little so your daughter could join you.
“soon it will be another day at hogwarts.” sapphire said.
“it’s never another day sapphy, you have us.” you assured her.
“i know…i just don’t want this to end.” she said.
“your adventures will never end sapphire. and we will be here for you every step of the way.” severus said, pressing a kiss to sapphire’s forehead. she looked up at her father with a smile.
sapphire embraced her mother and father, looking up at the night sky.
“we’re the snapes. our adventures will never end.” you said.
“mum…dad, you’ll still be here right?”
“always sapphire.” severus said.
“always? i like that word.” your daughter said.
smiles were left on you and severus as you all took the scenery in.
“i love you all.”
“we love you too sapphire."
the snapes, the family filled with laughter and love.
everyday was another adventure with your husband, with your daughter.
you didn’t want this to end either.
their motto they stuck by…
always.

anyone else ever been under so much stress that their medications just completely stop working
in spite of my antipsychotic i can not go to sleep. i will have work at 4am so i’ll try to go to bed at 6pm and i’ll be up until 2am, and even then i’ll only sleep for 3-4 hours. wash rinse and repeat the next day, with each day getting longer and each sleep cycle getting shorter. i can feel my body getting ready to physically give out. it is now 6am and i’ve been awake since 8am yesterday and my body is SCREAMING for sleep but i can’t fall asleep.

•••
thermite x reader >> that someone isn’t me
•••
MASTERLIST
warnings: angst, depression
•••
summary: thermite doesn’t seem to understand the gravity of the situation.
•••
you slapped your hand against the bar counter, feeling the burn slip down your throat. hacking with your tongue out, you grinned.
“it couldn’t have been that bad!” jordan laughed, slapping your back. “you’re more of a lightweight than i thought!”
“don’t flatter yourself because you took a shot too,” you teased, waving a hand with a dry voice. “it’s not every day you’re downing a fireball.”
“oh, but it is, in a day in the life of jordan trace,” he quipped in response, reaching to pour himself another shot. you took your hand and placed it upon his, freezing his pouring motion.
“i think you’ve had well enough, you crippling alcoholic,” you insisted. “it’s late, and who knows what work has for us tomorrow.”
“and bring this beautiful night to an end, darlin’?”
“well, the fun won’t end, but the drinks certainly will. i’m not gonna hold your hair like the romcoms tomorrow morning.”
he turned to you with a smirk, running his tongue along his front teeth. it was rare you were able to watch him without a life threatening situation. a decade had passed since you met him and not one time did you catch him in a truly casual, comfortable setting. for once, his face wasn’t caked in dirt and his hands were properly healing. jordan’s eyes were soft, witnessing you take in his beauty in what felt like slow motion. once he noticed the extended experience, he stuck a pinky nail into his teeth, comically picking away.
“what are you doing?” you giggled, blushing at the realization.
“you’re staring through my skin, hun,” he replied. “figured there must’ve been something left from dinner that you were noticing.”
“i would’ve told you!” you chuckled again. “even though you’re ridiculously handsome, i’m still not afraid to tell you as it is.”
“you’re too kind,” he winked. “i’m glad i’ve got a friend like you, y/n.”
a friend like you.
“my room or yours?” you asked as he put a hand on your back.
“yours, please,” he concluded, finding his footing. “mine’s a nightmare. yours smells like vanilla.”
“thank you...?”
“the pleasure’s all mine.”
your head seemingly floated above your neck as you sat down too quickly, letting jordan flop onto the bed with his jacket still on. just before he entered a sleeping state, you reached around his body to remove it for him, placing it on your desk chair. he groaned, a barely audible “thank you” slipping from his lips. you wanted to laugh seeing his face entirely smushed against your pillow, his hair flying this way and that. through his graying hair, he was still a puppy at heart, and for that you couldn’t help but fall violently for him.
“why do you spend your time with me?” you quietly asked, laying on your back and looking to the white ceiling. just as you began to count the scuff marks above, jordan let out a whispered reply.
“i love you,” he murmured. “you’re pretty, you kick ass, and you keep me in check.” he moaned before going completely silent, a faint snore filling your ears. you exhaled, smiling widely.
“i love you too,” you announced, craning your head to see jordan entirely asleep, unaware of your words. “if only you knew.”
you couldn’t sleep, truthfully. every time you closed your eyes, you saw jordan, and you smiled like a dumbass every time. he loves you! do you know what kind of an accomplishment this is!? the moment he awakens, you’re gonna plant a kiss on his lips and he’ll hold you close, arms around you as he—
RING, RING!
“6am already?” you complained to yourself, leaning to slap your clock. the sudden movement caused jordan to snort awake, sitting up with an open mouth and squinted eyes. in an attempt to wake himself up, he rubbed his hands against his hair, shaking his head once.
“mornin’, pumpkin,” he groaned. “time?”
“six,” you could barely contain your excitement, grinning wildly and feeling hot.
“shit,” he bursted into action, completely ignoring your happiness and snatching his jacket. “i’ve got my examination in half an hour, i’m sorry to just bail like this.”
you kept your smile, yet your eyes seemed to show your dismay.
“it’s okay, jordan,” you assured, looking to the floor. “i’ll see you at lunch?”
he winced, inhaling through his teeth.
“no can do, y/n,” he apologized. “i’ve got a date.”
you would’ve suspected you were slapped in the face.
“a—a date?” you choked out.
“yep!”
“then what was yesterday to you?” you whispered.
“hm?”
“nothing,” you perked up, jaw clenching. he nodded hesitantly, stepping out without another word. slowly, silently, hot tears fell down your cheeks.
maybe he doesn’t remember anything from yesterday, you begged to believe. maybe it was just a test to see how i’d react.
but this isn’t high school. jordan is an adult, you are an adult, you work together. why did he say he loved you if—?
you whipped out your phone from under the sheets, typing frantically.
you: why didn’t you say you had a date?
you were debating on whether to ask more questions or drop it and wait for him to reply. almost instantly, he began typing back.
jordan: didn’t think it was important, why?
you: i thought i was important
you bit your tongue. perhaps you were too rude? did last night even happen? sure, you two have been close, but could you have overstepped your boundary as a friend?
jordan: you are.
he didn’t reply for a full minute.
jordan: are you okay y/n?
you: who are you going out with?
jordan: i thought i try some dating apps lol. her names charlotte.
you: what about me?
jordan: what about you?
you: do you remember what you told me last night?
please be drunk, you begged. please forget what you said so i can dismiss it and pretend it didn’t happen.
jordan: in your dorm? oh...
you cursed, time seeing to slow to a snail’s pace as he typed for several minutes.
jordan: you may have misunderstood me. yes, i love you, but not that way. you’re like a sibling to me, y/n, and i wouldn’t trade you for the world. we’re too close to risk our relationship by dating. you deserve the world, and someone to give it to you, but that someone isn’t me. i’ll always be here for you, but we’re friends and it’s best if it stays that way. i’m sorry.
you laughed to yourself, letting a spray of tears land onto the floor. feeling as if you’re going mad, you typed back, now sobbing.
you: it’s all good! thanks for clearing it up! let me know how the date goes haha :)
angrily, you whipped your phone at your bed, watching it launch into the air and land with a satisfying crack onto the floor.
“a fool, an idiot, a damn fool,” you called yourself over and over, gripping your hair. “why did i think it could work?” your phone buzzed, and you looked past the large shattered section of the screen to read your notification.
new message!
jordan: i’ll let you know! thanks for being so understanding!
the next day, you didn’t sit with jordan during a meeting.
the next week, you switched your workshop schedule.
the next month, you didn’t leave your room.
the next year, you forgot his name.
