nsfw themes throughout, so please read my disclaimer if you’re new. enjoy :)
w.c: 1.7k, characters: 9.6k (incl spaces)
-
there’s a certain sluggish quality that plagues your movements. it’s not fatigue or incompetence. or so benimaru would hope.
his mix matched gaze glosses over your unnecessary movements. that extra exhale you hiss, the additional bat of your eyelashes and the excessive perspiration that drips onto the earth below.
“stop.” he commands, tone low and stern as it pierces through the open air.
“huh? captain shinmon, i’m fine. we can keep going.” you huff through laboured breaths, pausing to gasp and drink in the plentiful oxygen around you.
“it’s one thing if you’re overworking your muscles. it’s another if you’re running a fever. go inside.”
“b-but captain-“
benimaru shoots you a dead stare, keeping his statement rooted deep where he stands.
judging by the bruises that adorn your knees, you know better than to disobey the captain.
“waka! have you seen (l/n)?” konro lingers in the doorframe of the main communal area, gaze scanning for one of his colleagues.
“she’s in her room. why?”
“her room? she has a few errands to run. is she feeling okay?”
“she’s running a fever.” benimaru exhales, shifting to get up from the table. he lightly scratches the back of his neck, adorning that usual aloof facial expression.
“in the middle of summer? how’d that happen?” konro chuckles through a small glimpse of bewilderment. of course he’d be concerned for one of his best recruits.
“hell if i know. what do we need? i’ll head out.”
if anything, benimaru is probably the sole reason why you’re running a fever. why he subjected to railing you underneath water that felt like it was nearing sub-zero was beyond you. it’s not like he’s about to admit he enjoys fucking his special little fire soldier. how he relishes and engrains the sight of your fucked out facial expression deep into his head, burning the image into his retinas. shit, you wouldn’t be surprised if the reason why he sometimes spaces out is because of you.
it’s always been blatantly obvious that you’re the captain’s favourite, no matter how much he denies it and how many glares he shoots at the people from other companies. you’re always left apologising for his behaviour, attempting to keep a straight face.
for the one time you dragged him out to patrol with you, and the amount of incessant whining, complaints and bribes you offered your captain, after a full month of lovely slow burn he decided to come along with you. he just up and left, had the audacity to turn around and ask you why you’re still standing there. benimaru always kept his distance to yours close, in fact the separation was almost minimal. you could feel his shoulders ghost over you.
every time he noticed someone staring at your figure for a little bit too long to be deemed appropriate, he hissed a scoff of distaste. at around the third or fourth person, you were already forced to deal with his short temper.
“what the hell are you gawking at? mind your damn business.”
but sure. apparently you’re not his favourite.
he can scoff and complain all he wants, but that won’t stop him even now from lazily snaking his hand around to his favourite baby girl’s waist. to him, this seems like the most normal thing.
“how else is she going to stand upright? she’s all stick and bones, the wind will knock her right over.”
okay, benimaru. you keep telling yourself that. even when his fingers feel an itch every time they’re not touching a part of your skin. he tends to get a whole lot more mouthy and irritable every time you’re not around, too.
hell, even his own townsfolk pick up on the fact that he’s out and about more. rounds that he always left to the lesser important underlings became more commonplace, especially with you by his side.
but the things that go on behind closed doors?
his peppermint red eyes that haunt your mind, infiltrating your very thoughts. you could be minding your business, going on about your day until you get an abrupt flicker of his mundane tic-tac-toe gaze staring up at you from in between your thighs.
you could be taking care of hinata and hikage, entertaining their antics when you feel the weight of benimaru’s stare burn holes into your uniform.
you could be doing your daily sparring with the captain. in the zone, breath held and blood stream steady until you remember the feel of his hot tongue trailing along the side of your neck. for someone who seems to be stuck in a perpetual state of sadness, you always catch the arrogant smirk that pulls at his lips.
“thinking of something?” he’ll cock his eyebrows, using the distraction to take a jab to your gut.
you groan, stirring around in your bed. you hate him, hate that stupid half lidded gaze of his. you hate how soft his wavy jet black locks are. the way the strands tug and bend whenever you try to yank his face away from your cunt. you run your fingers through your hair in a valiant yet futile attempt to free your thoughts from your captain. it’s only three o’clock in the afternoon, and you haven’t done anything but reminisce about your lover for the past hour and a half.
a meek and uneven sigh hisses from your lips. your eyes screw open and you flinch at the hard sunlight that pours in from the window. as you use the inner portion of your elbow to shield your gaze, you catch glimpse of a very familiar figure in the doorway.
“captain shinmon?” you inquire, propping yourself up onto your elbows. he closes the door behind him. you’re certain that you looked like a loyal dog sat panting and wagging its tail upon discovering the return of their owner.
“excited to see me?” he remarks in a flat tone, opening the grocery bag he’s carrying before setting a few things down onto your nightstand. it’s mostly medicine, though he snags a few of your favourite snacks and drinks. there’s also one of those fascinating green tea bottles that you buy at the vending machines, except they’re served piping hot.
“how’re you feeling?”
“i told you i was going to get sick if we had the water that cold.” you huff, averting your gaze in a fit.
“not my problem you can’t take a little temperature difference”
“a little? that shit was freezing! how the hell can you take water that cold?”
“how can you not?”
you chuckle a little, shifting to stare up at the ceiling.
“don’t you have paperwork to do?”
“you know i don’t do paperwork. sure as hell not gonna start doing it now.” benimaru huffs, kicking his boots off by the door. you can hear his clothes rustling and your head snaps to face him. he shoots you a glare, as though to scold you. it’s dripping on his face. ‘really? you’re so eager.’
“move up.” he cocks his head to the side, motioning for you to move over. you shift up, room spinning a little too much for your tastes. the mattress dips with his weight and his right arm (our left) reflexively hangs in the air for you to dip your head into the crook of where his shoulder and collarbone meet. he discards his navy kimono, the article of clothing hangs on one of the hooks at the back of your door. it’s probably not much comfort for him to be relaxing in a bed with half of his uniform still on.
you squish your face against his hard chest, head rising and falling in time with his breathing. the said arm relaxes and his hand rests against your shoulder. subsequently, you realise this is the first time you’ve seen him fully without his kimono on. at the very least, he’d still have the other sleeve on.
benimaru notices your blatant staring at his other arm. he can’t comprehend why you’d gawk at it now, since he’s used it plenty of times to choke you.
he hums a small ‘hm’ in question, asking you what you’re so fascinated about. you can feel his voice thrum and rock against his chest, it sends small shivers licking your body that he doesn’t miss.
“you look so funny without your kimono on. why don’t you wear it like this more often?” you drag your nails softly against his biceps. there’s a small groan that hisses from him. as you await his response, you outline a large vein that runs from his upper arm and trails down all the way to his wrist.
“i get cold easily.”
“then why did you take a shower with me?”
“are you hearing yourself?”
surely a little bit of his body temperature was enough to sacrifice. even if it meant he was sneezing a little bit and shivering afterwards.
“seriously? you can take a tranquiliser but you can’t stand a little cold?”
“you’ll make a shitty wife if you can’t even keep me warm.”
“beni!” you hiss at benimaru in appaul, craning your face up to guffaw at him. the manners on him sometimes are despicable.
you pout, shifting your upper weight to flick benimaru in between his eyebrows. he screws his face in mutiny, lips curled into a scowl.
you and him both know that if it were anyone else flicking him like that, they’d be sent crashing through six different blocks of houses down the street.
“oi.” he warns you, tutting.
“konro come by and work some voodoo magic bullshit on you? ‘cause you’re testing your luck by pissing me off. you’re such a menace when you’re sick, it’s unbelievable.”
you hum in awe, inching your face closer towards his. there’s a wave of mockery that paints your face green and you can only laugh at the unrest that swirls in benimaru’s eyes.
he won’t have his pet talking down to him like that. no, no. that just won’t do.
“oh? really? you want me to do it again?” you flash him a cocky smirk, digits curled into a flicking position. you rest the bridge of your middle finger against benimaru’s forehead, slicking some of his charcoal stained locks out the way.
his left hand flies to catch your hand in an instant. with just two of his fingers, he can wrap himself around your wrist. his touch is assertive, firm. he can drag you the fuck away from him as he pleases, but there’s no real malice or force behind him just yet.
“yeah? try me.” he barks, peering down at you through his lashes.
you just might.

Movie Review: Scoob! (Spoilers)
Tumblr media
Spoiler Warning: Alright so this isn’t the type of movie that really warrants two separate reviews, but because it was only released recently I feel a spoiler warning is warranted as I will be talking about specific points in the movie. So if you haven’t yet seen Scoob! and don’t want anything ruined before you do, go and watch then come back.
General Reaction:
So, I’m having a hard time really getting to grips with my enjoyment level of this movie. Because while I don’t think this was a bad movie by any means, I always wouldn’t rank it as one of my favourites particularly with this new wave of nostalgia-based movies that seems to be a thing in recent years.
Maybe the problem is I am not an avid Scooby-Doo fan, a lot of people may think that is sacrilege and I did grow up watching the original Scooby-Doo shows and movies, but I wasn’t as into it as I was other Cartoon Network shows or even other Hanna-Barbera properties.
On that note, something that fascinated me about Scoob! in its promo campaign outside of it being a stunning CG-Animation movie was the inclusion of other Hanna-Barbera properties. In the trailer it is simply Dynomutt, Blue Falcon and Dick Dastardly, the former two who I believe were spin-off characters of Scooby-Doo originally and Dick Dastardly who of course is Dick Dastardly. Wacky Races and its spin-off Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines were shows I was an avid fan of, but once you see the movie and you realise that Warner Bros. Animation is really pushing for a Hanna-Barbera cinematic universe to stem from this with the amount of references and cameos of other characters and properties it is fascinating to me.
For instance, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 attempted something similar by effectively shouting about the fact that this movie was supposed to not only set up a third Spider-Man movie but also a Sinister Six movie and a Black Cat movie, then it was revealed Venom and Carnage were supposed to come into play, but then the whole thing got canned because the movie tried doing too much too soon.
Here though, they are subtle references that, unless you know the characters, don’t really register. I mean one or two are really obvious like having this universe’s version of Captain Caveman be somewhat of an antagonist here...I will be talking about him further down...but there are also just simply posters and name references that catch your eye if you know the characters. I don’t know every Hanna-Barbera character but the one that did catch my eye was a cardboard cutout of Hong-Kong Phooey.
As for the actual movie from a storytelling perspective, again I never really thought there was anything that grand about Scooby-Doo in terms of how they told a story. It was one of the first “monster of the week” shows in how formulaic it was and there was almost always a predictable formula in how each character would play their part.
In hindsight to that, I do appreciate both this movie and the first live-action Scooby-Doo movie for actually making that a satirical plot point, but in not having that much of a plot to base the movie on...I mean you can tell this is really an origin story of sorts in that if they are planning a cinematic universe this is that first rock, but unlike Iron Man they never had that hook that made you want to see the story continue.
I guess you could compare it in-house to what the DCEU did with Man of Steel. I didn’t really need more from after seeing that movie but I did want to see what this universe’s versions of some of my favourite DC Characters would be like, in a way this is similar.
It does sound stupid but the plot very much feels like a Scooby-Doo movie plot, in that the movie opens with that classic “monster of the week” unmasking, but the main threat of the movie is a real monster with some type of supernatural mystical twist.
But also, in adding the entire universe of Hanna-Barbera characters to that, you also have the most blatant in-movie Warner Bros. promo campaign with so many of the studio’s other properties being name-dropped it was borderline laughable.
In terms of the actual movie experience, this isn’t the first time I’ve watched a movie for the first time not in the cinema but knowing that the movie should have been released in cinemas rather than me simply not seeing it for any reason was rather surreal and, I do feel that this is the type of movie that warrants an audience viewing rather than just me watching it in my bedroom.
I also feel I would have enjoyed it a lot more with an audience, particularly an audience that doesn’t mind slightly dated, cheesy or somewhat really obvious plot points at times. I kind of predicted every major plot twist in this movie, although a couple of them I feel the audience is supposed to know from the get go otherwise why make it so obviously unless your pandering to a really young audience that don’t have two brain cells to rub together and tell that Fred with a really sinister grin full-naming Scooby is really the main villain in disguise particularly when you just saw him do the same thing ten minutes before.
But anyway, rather then going character by character in this spoilery section I’m going to break it down into what I liked and what I didn’t like. There was nothing I loved but also nothing I hated.
What I Liked:
But in terms of the overall message of the movie, Scoob! really hammers home that old-school notion of Man’s Best Friend, and not just with Shaggy and Scooby which is all I will say on that.
Tumblr media
Alright so this movie is obviously called Scoob! and focuses on Scooby as effectively the main character as well as his friendship with Shaggy. The two really are one character in that you can’t really imagine one without the other, and the movie really explores that in both good and bad ways...we’ll get to the bad.
As a dog lover and dog owner myself, this movie really spoke to me on that level and the bond that Shaggy and Scooby share I finally understood. In all other media for me it’s more a case of Scooby and Shaggy just being friends but here that bond goes deeper because you see them meet and you see them essentially become family.
Tumblr media
I really didn’t like the plot device of making them fall out only to have them make up later, it just is a very lazy trope at this point particularly as I’ve already seen it in a Scooby-Doo property before.
But they do kind of explain why it is necessary and why it happens because while they do have their friends at Mystery Inc. Shaggy and Scooby had no one before having each other, so when one feels like they’re drifting apart something flips and they get very possessive.
Also that ending, I mentioned this movie has a lot of things thrown in but while Hanna-Barbera and Warner Bros. references are kind of in sync with this movie, how about Greek mythology to the point where they effectively summon the Underworld to Earth!
I’m a massive Greek mythology fan, and seeing the main monster of this movie actually being from Greek mythology and animated so beautifully is why this is in the good section, even if the Underworld actually looked like the Cave of Wonders from Aladdin.
Tumblr media
The voice cast for this movie is also unexpectedly brilliant. A lot of people may complain that the original cast who are still all alive, I think, weren’t asked back but outside of Frank Welker as Scooby I don’t think you really need them.
Zac Efron is one of those actors at the moment that can do no wrong for me, he can do comedy, he can do musical, he can do drama, he can do serious gritty drama. I really loved him as Fred here.
Will Forte didn’t fool me into thinking it was Matthew Lillard returning to the role because I feel his voice here wasn’t as squeeky or high as Lillard’s, but he still did a great job, Ian Armitage voicing the kid version was great too.
Tumblr media
Gina Rodriguez is a choice for Velma not just because like a lot of these characters the classic Velma’s voice is very distinct and almost iconic but to actively race-bend the character and make her Latina I thought added some much needed diversity to this movie and the Hanna-Barbera universe in general.
Jason Isaacs as Dick Dastardly was really a fantastic choice both for the actor and for the character. There were times particularly towards the start when he made Dick sound like Captain Hook and even his design here is very Captain Hook/Gru esk rather than the lanky Dick Dastardly design, and I was missing his classic hat. But for me Jason Isaacs is at his best when he’s playing a villain.
Tumblr media
On that note, Dee Dee Sykes and Dynomutt I thought were absolutely wonderful here, I’d actually say these two and Dick Dastardly were my favourite characters. All the D’s apparently.
Not only was it a teachable moment for me because I had to look up someone I was pretty sure was someone I thought they were in terms of me knowing Dee Dee originated in Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels, but here was on Blue Falcon’s crew with Dynomutt and no reference to Captain Caveman whatsoever I was okay with.
Also, I cannot believe I am saying this but, this movie actually made me like a Ken Jeong performance. I cannot stand this man, I do not find him funny, I do not find him entertaining, yet something about him voicing Dynomutt who originally I swear what meant to have the brain capacity I associate with Ken Jeong, but to make me like the character was impressive.
The final thing on my good list to mention is that opening sequence, after the very heartwarming opening scene of Scooby and Shaggy meeting and a Halloween setting of the team first coming together to battle a monster of the week in a It inspired haunted house, they show a shot-for-shot remake of the opening credits for the OG cartoon which is rather clever.
The only other voice actor to mention in the good section for me is Simon Cowell, not only do they have Simon playing himself in such a brilliant way but also his son Eric also voices a character, very brief and not central to the plot, but really a cute moment. Also I don’t know why but Simon in voice over sounds almost like a parody to Simon in live-action.
Tumblr media
What I Didn’t Like:
Tumblr media
Alright so these are really knitpicks but I think they’re worth noting in terms of moving this universe forward.
Scooby Doo is a dog, a talking dog yes but a dog none the less...so why the heck does he talk so much. I mean granted this is a universe with a robotic dog and a biped martial arts vigilante dog...but they never genuinely explain how Scooby can talk and while it’s understandable in the original cartoons as it’s mostly groans and the odd mispronounced word...here he was having monologues...also as a puppy he should have had a puppy voice, just saying.
As mentioned, I never really got into this franchise when I was younger so outside of Scooby and Shaggy I don’t really know these characters...but was Fred always so weirdly obsessed with the Mystery Machine? I get being happy with your vehicle but I thought Fred and Daphne were supposed to be the ship of this property...not Fred and the van.
I really really really really really really really really did not like the cop out ending they had, I didn’t let them get away with it in Stitch Has a Glitch and I am not letting them get away with it here. This big dramatic heartstring pulling thing happens, yet it’s almost immediately rectified with no solid explanation other then “we need to wrap things up”.
So to see one of these properties not authentically translate I thought was annoying, by which I mean Captain Caveman. Looks wise he is on point and I am fully aware that Mel Blanc is not going to rise up from the grave to voice him again, but the very essence of him being a caveman in his speech was not there for me here.
It would have been better if they allowed some time to go past and let the heroes stew in their sorrow before somehow discovering a way to fix things, but no it is literally as soon as the bad thing happens we are supposed to believe this was thought out?
My final thing is this. The Hanna-Barbera properties I grew up with are Scooby-Doo which I liked, Top Cat which I loved, Wacky Races which I loved, The Jetsons which I wasn’t as acquainted with as I would have liked to be, The Flinstones which I loved, Hong Kong Phooey which I liked and Captain Cavemani which I liked.
Tumblr media
I’m sure Tracy Morgan is a likeable comedian, but then play on the comedy of the character and have him be like he originally was.
Hanna-Barbera Cinematic Universe:
I would love to see The Flinstones, Top Cat and the other Wacky Racers get this movie treatment. In fact if they market it correctly, Warner Bros. Animation could have a different genre movie for each property, be that comedy for Flinstones, action for Hong Kong Phooey, maybe a heist movie for Top Cat, sci-fi for the Jetsons, the list goes on.
Tumblr media
As mentioned before, I do not see that groundwork for a cinematic universe here. Rather than it showing signs of being like the MCU I think it does stick more in-house as the DCEU by simply giving me the want to see other Hanna-Barbera characters inhabit this universe.
Do I feel this is the start of something big? No, do I feel there is potential here absolutely.
Overall I rate the movie a solid 7/10, it’s enjoyable, it’s cute, it’s family-friendly and I believe that’s its USP. It’s not a groundbreaking movie but it does have that cinematic universe potential and, as mentioned, I do look forward to see if more Hanna-Barbera properties get the same treatment.
So that’s my review of Scoob! What did you guys think? Post your comments and check out more Movie Reviews and other posts.

lee minho|fuckboy au
Tumblr media
⋆ ──────── ⋆ ✩ ⋆ ──────── ⋆
member: lee minho/lee know genre: fluffy & flirty summary: fuckboy au! best friend’s brother au! you were the one girl that minho could never get his hands on. and for good reason chan would kill him if he ever touched you but why would your heart not stop fluttering when he gave you that cocky and infuriating but completely heart melting smirk requested: nope but it’s minho’s birthday!! 
⋆ ──────── ⋆ ✩ ⋆ ──────── ⋆
minho was bad news for your heart
he was your high school’s residential fuckboy
and for good reason too
the boy had it all
he was gorgeous
to the point he could easily be a model
he had 8 best friends which stuck with him through everything
who all are of course gorgeous and constantly sought out by the student population
you still didn’t understand how good looking people all hang out together
do they just gravitate to each other?
anyways minho wasn’t just a pretty boy
he mostly got A’s on his reports
he was captain of the dance team
and vice captain of the soccer team
which meant crowds of girls would swarm the soccer pitch in summer in the blistering heat
to catch minho shirtless who always took his shirt off in summer  
he loved showing off
you always thought they were crazy like
air conditioning and ice cream over hot boys any day
chan the team captain and minho’s best friend would always get pissed off
he’d just shout across the field to minho
“KEEP YOUR DICK IN YOUR PANTS FOR AT LEAST BLOODY PRACTICE”
minho would just laugh and mock salute him
while chan would sigh and shake his head wondering why the hell he picked him as his vice
but none of the girls could interrupt dance practice
well more like they couldn’t get into the room
minho made sure it was keypad locked
since when girls could come in it was so loud because of all the cheering and screaming and no one could hear anything
plus jeongin always teased minho that the reason he keypad locked it was that there were more girls there for felix and hyunjin than him
you always thought the little devil had a point
but even with all this going on minho had time to do all his fuckboy ways
his snapchat CONSTANTLY spammed by god knows what sort of pictures
hookups at parties were a regular for him
the thing is minho didn’t even have to try
he would literally just look at a girl and do his signature smirk
and girls then just threw themselves at him
once he was done with them they’d usually cry or be upset
bad mouth him that he’s a fuckboy
but if he ever asked to simply just meet them again they’d go crawling back to him offering him everything
it was quite pathetic actually
though in the sea of all those desperate girls
there was you
someone he could actually talk to
someone he couldn’t help but want to know more about
someone who didn’t have to be a one night fling
but you were someone who was completely and utterly off limits
you were chan’s little sister
minho’s known you for years and you guys were close
though he never saw you more than a little sister
but that all ended a few months ago
minho and chan were in the living room playing video games
while you came from upstairs to get some cereal to snack on
you rummaged around your kitchen but you couldn’t find any of your goddamned favourite cereal
“CHAN WHERE’S MY CEREAL??” you shout
chan pauses the game then looks at minho
who looks like a deer in headlights with his mouth stuffed with your favourite cereal
chan starts laughing so hard
while minho keeps on hitting him to be quiet and putting his finger to his lips to tell him to shut up
you enter the room to see the back of minho but you could see YOUR cereal box on the coffee table
chan laughs harder as you enter the room
he looks between the cereal box, minho’s panicked expression and your murderous one
“you’re so dead minho” chan says comfortingly patting his shoulder
then escaping to his room
it was almost comedic the way minho turned around to you with wide eyes
you could see his adam apple bop up and down
“LEE MINHO WHAT DID I FUCKING SAY??!!! NOT TO EAT MY BLOODY CEREAL THIS IS THE FIFTH TIME THIS MONTH” you scream lunging at him
you quickly grab a pillow from the couch and start hitting him as hard as you can
not like it did anything good it was a bloody pillow
didn’t mean minho wasn’t over dramatic and kept on shouting
“OW OW OW CAN YOU STOP??!!”
you finally did once you felt your anger go down to a simmer
“wow someone’s on her period” minho muttered quietly under his breath
but you heard it
“lee fucking minho what did you just say” you whisper your voice dangerously low
pillow in one hand pointing at him like a sword
with your eyes narrowed at him
minho plastered on a fake smile and an innocent expression
“what me? i only said that how you’re the most beautiful and sweetest person to exist on this planet” he says sweetly shrugging his shoulders
“uh huh sure” you say rolling your eyes
you snatch your nearly empty cereal box and give minho one last glare before stalking off
just before you were about to leave the living room
minho called out “wait is that my t shirt?”
you spin around already eating your cereal
“well i stole it from chan thinking it was his but yeah it could be yours” you say like it’s no big deal
while minho was kinda just struck by some sort of feeling
you leaning against the wall
eating his favourite cereal out of the box
bare faced hair all messy from your pillow fight from earlier
in HIS t shirt which went a bit above mid thigh on you
you looked gorgeous
how did he not notice it sooner?
he always knew you were considered attractive
but like it never really clicked that you were ATTRACTIVE
smh dumbass
though he knew your personality was great
you occasionally hang out with the whole gang
you were funny and nice and had no problem talking back to any of the guys
you got along with everyone and amused all the guys with your witty comebacks
you also took care of the maknae line in the group and changbin
even though you were the same age changbin
but he acted younger than jeongin half the time
basically jeongin’s a freshman 00 line are sophomores changbin and you are juniors and the three hyungs are seniors
but he never realised how gorgeous you were
until now
“you look good” minho smoothly says his back turned to you
you thought you were hearing things
minho complimenting you??? has the world ended??
“wait what?” you couldn’t help but blurt out
he turned his head but not fully just enough so you could see his side glance at you  
“i said you look good in my t shirt” he ends with signature heart melting smirk
and that’s exactly what it did
melt you into a gooey puddle
not knowing how to respond
you shoved as much cereal as you could in your mouth making you look like a chipmunk
and just nodded then hurried off to your room
face beet red and heart beating a million miles a minute
minho couldn’t help but chuckle
gosh you were cute
in the next few months
minho flirted with you
a lot
and you were not having it
well you loved it but you hated it
GNSKSIFJ why was this boy doing this to you it’s like he liked torturing you
well he probably did
everytime he saw you he would give you a tight hug which made you never want to leave his arms
and he did that with every single hello and goodbye
that you could deal with
and you could also kinda deal with minho trying to hold your hand at any chance
“y/n you are actually slower than a snail hurry up!” he complains
then he swiftly grabs your hand intertwines your fingers
sO QUICKLY you can’t even process it
“yes daddy long legs” you huff out
minho’s smirk was more prominent than ever as he suddenly stopped
then brought you so close you actually squeaked
making his smirk even more cocky if that was even possible
he whispered so close in your ear that you could feel his breath on your neck
making you shiver and get tingles down your spine
“already calling me daddy huh?” he whispered his words literally dripping in innuendo and cockiness
his laugh which accompanied the comment sounded so pure and innocent compared to what he just said
i absolutely love minho’s laugh
It broke you out of your shock with your mouth wide open
he was already running down the corridor
as you shout to him
“Y-YOU LEE MINHO YOU GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW SO I CAN DROWN YOU IN HOLY WATER”
me whenever he dances or acts sexy
these sort of incidents were a regular
and you couldn’t help it anytime he was near you
your heart sped up
but there were times without the constant flirty banter
and you loved it  
and that was when you really couldn’t deal with your feelings for minho
like when you went to get your favourite cereal in minho’s car
you guys got like 20 boxes and still finished it in a week
or when you two went on like a 2 hour car ride at 1am
and you guys were singing along to all the cringey 2000 songs so loudly the whole time
or getting drive thru junk food at 4am in the morning
you two got really close 
and you were falling for minho
but you were nearly a hundred percent sure he didn’t see you that way
you couldn’t of been more wrong
minho was going actually crazy cause of you
you were on his mind 25/8 if that was even possible
he knew he was falling for you and it frustrated him to no end
the LEE MINHO was falling for someone
and no matter what he did
all his tips and tricks
even with just blatant constant flirting 
you didn’t seem anywhere as deep as him and completely oblivious to his feelings 
not only was he falling for someone who seems completely disinterested in him 
then there was also chan
how the hell are you supposed to tell your best friend
you’re in love with their little sister and to give his fuckboy best friend a chance with her
minho couldn’t even get over you
he tried
so so many times
it was pathetic how many times
no girl could hold a candle to you
he literally cut off contact with any girl who wanted to talk to him in a romantic way
it just pissed him off
as cheesy and cliche as it sounds he didn’t want any other girl than you
everytime he saw you
he couldn’t help but smile and when he wrapped his arms around you he just wanted to hold you there forever
whenever he made you smiled it was the best feeling than anything else
gosh he was so in love with you
he was so wrapped up in his own world with you only on his mind
minho didn’t even realise he made a full choreography inspired by you
until felix and hyunjin mentioned it
they were at the dance studio 10 minutes early to dance practice 
and they watched minho dance to the choreography inspired by you 
just as minho finished 
“WOAHHHH HYUNG that was actually really good you should perform it in the showcase this weekend!” felix exclaimed
minho quickly shook his head and quickly said 
“no no no this is something i just came up with and it’s not really not that great”
“hyung what are you talking about?! honestly that’s the best solo choreography i’ve seen from you EVER” hyunjin said incredulously
minho looked between felix’s awed expression and hyunjin’s confused one 
he sighed “i just can’t perform this choreography i didn’t even realise i was making it until you guys told me” 
“why can’t you perform it?” hyunjin asks curiously 
“i just can’t” minho says not looking at the two boys not wanting to admit his crush for you 
“it’s cause of y/n” seungmin casually said walking into the practice room sipping his tea
i need a seungmin in my life
minho's brain literally stops working as seungmin says that 
“y/n? what do you mean y/n?” hyunjin asks completely confused 
“what does y/n have to do with anything with his choreography?” felix continues just as confused as hyunjin 
jisung walks in next well more like bouncing in as he announces loudly “minho’s in love” then sits next to seungmin 
minho’s brain kicks back into gear making him regret all his life choices 
“i fucking knew i shouldn’t of asked those two come to watch and give feedback” minho mutters under his breath sliding down the wall
“minho in love with wh-HOLY SHIT MINHO HYUNG’S IN LOVE WITH Y/N???!!!!” felix ends by shouting 
“what the actual fuck??” hyunjin slowly says still trying to process it 
“i can’t believe you idiots didn’t realise yet” laughs woojin as he enters with jeongin and changbin
“even jisung realised and it’s JISUNG” jeongin cheekily added 
“HEY I’M YOUR HYUNG REMEMBER!” protested jisung
“dumbasses” changbin says affectionately putting an arm around felix and hyunjin
most complicated love triangle ever
minho lifting his head out of his hands looked at the boys who entered
“was it that obvious?” he said like he was in pain
then chan walks in and minho heart plummets as chan smirks at him and amusedly says 
“very”
“u-uh c-chan i-” minho tries to start
chan laughs “minho’s it’s okay i’m not mad i’ve seen this coming for months"
“i just couldn’t help myself i’m sorry chan” minho sighs out leaning the back of his head against the wall
“oh stop being so dramatic i don’t hate you and weirdly i don’t disapprove of you and y/n being together” chan says lightly 
“w-wait what?” minho questions 
“has the lack of sleep finally gotten to your head” seungmin adds
“seungmin” scolds woojin
“yes yes i know unnecessary snarky comments don’t need to be said” seungmin huffs out
“have you not realised how much you’ve changed in the last few months?” chan asks minho like he’s an idiot
while minho just shakes his head 
“well to start off you don't take your shirt off constantly anymore” chan begins quite happy about the decreasing number of fan girls 
then all the members start contributing
“the biggest one for me was blocking all your trashy hoes on snapchat” changbin comments
“you haven’t hooked up with anyone recently either” jisung adds
“not even making out” hyunjin says dubious to the words coming out of his words
“you’ve stopped flirting with anything on two legs” seungmin drawls on
“i was not that bad!” minho protests
“YES YOU WERE!!” chorused all the guys 
“also you CONSTANTLY want y/n to hang out with us” felix says amused
“and you always stare at nuna like non stop” jeongin honestly adds
“the dead giveaway to me was you smiled like actually beamed of happiness whenever she even walked into a room” woojin ends on a romantic note 
“it doesn’t matter though she doesn’t even see me that way” minho says shaking his head
all the boys burst out laughing
“remind me how the hell did you get so many girls” changbin says smirking
“he’s probably lost his touch” jeongin adds sneakily 
“she likes you too dumbass it’s clear as day” chan says still laughing a little patting minho’s shoulder
“w-wAIT REALLY?!” minho bounces up and stands up excitedly 
“yes minho she really does” woojin assures him smiling 
“NOW will you perform the choreography and even dedicate it to y/n?” felix suggests
“yeah i will” minho says with his usual confidence looking forward to the showcase
all the boys bust their ass to help minho confess to you 
minho’s choreography wasn’t actually to a specific song
so the 3racha boys offered to make a song for the choreography
chan produced while jisung and changbin worked on the lyrics with minho
chan claimed he didn’t want to do anything to do with the lyrics not wanting to know about your private romantic life 
felix and hyunjin helped clean the dance and filled in for minho as dance teacher for the other groups performing 
seungmin, jeongin and woojin trained minho to sing really well for the track
just pretend minho can’t sing in this au or hasn’t tried to 
it was all ready for the showcase 
*showcase time*
you were loving the dance showcase 
you had front and center seat and you had some of the other guys sitting near to you including chan right next you 
minho was brilliant like he always was 
you couldn’t keep your eyes off him and you were so excited for his solo
felix, hyunjin and minho just finished their dance as a trio 
it was amazing they literally took your breath away 
like their technique and control over their bodies were ridiculous 
you hear jisung’s voice through the speakers as he was the mc for the showcase 
“hey everyone I hope you’ve been enjoying the night so far, this is actually our last stage for the night and it’s minho’s solo which everyone seems to be looking forward to!! so let’s welcome the man himself. give it up for miNHOOOOOO”
cheers erupted as minho walked on stage smiling, waving and blowing kisses 
you couldn’t help but laugh and roll your eyes
“thanks everyone for coming!! this is a really special performance for me, the song was produced and written by 3racha” cheers erupted once again at the mention of 3racha you could see changbin smirking from the corner of your eye
“i contributed to the lyrics though and woojin, seungmin and jeongin helped me sing and record the song too while my dance buddies who just got off stage felix and hyunjin helped with the choreograpy too”
he paused as people watching were cheering, all 8 boys were extremely popular and including minho were known as the kings of the school
“so this special performance is actually dedicated to someone” minho continues shyly?
wait minho was acting shy??
your heart plummeted as you thought he was dedicating the performance to some random girl 
you started to drown in your thoughts
but then suddenly minho looked straight at you and your heart almost completely stopped as he did 
with an almost nervous but still sweet smile he said
“this one’s for you y/n” 
you could of died right then and there and would of been so happy 
your thoughts were going over drive 
is this minho confessing to you?
does this mean he likes you?
what about chan?
just as if chan was reading your mind
chan whispered into your ear soothingly while squeezing your hand lightly
“y/n it’s okay i approve”
it felt like the weight of the world was lifted off your shoulder and you couldn’t help but beam at him as the lights dimmed 
except for the lights on minho
he started to dance to the music 
his voice was gorgeous much better than when he was screaming at the top of his lungs singing “APPLE BOTTOM JEANS BOOTS WITH THE FUR” at 3am
the lyrics and his beautiful dance moves went perfectly together but they also literally told the story of the two of you 
from you only being his best friend’s little sister 
to the one who wore his t shirts and got mad when he ate your cereal
to a girl who he wanted to get to know more
then to a girl who was like his best friend who he flirted with
finally to being the only girl he’s ever been in love with 
just hearing the story of the two of you and the fact your brother approved of you and even helped produced the song
emotions overwhelmed you and you couldn’t help but cry just as the dance ended
you were completely frozen but chan gave you a small amused smile and pushed you towards the stage 
and that’s all it took
you sprinted up there as fast as you could 
just as the lights turned on everyone saw you sprinting into minho’s arms
then he let out the most heart warming laugh as he spun your around into his arms 
as you clung onto him like he was your life line crying into his shoulder while laughing at the same time
everyone was cheering and wolf whistling 
he put you down gently 
and carefully tucked your hair behind your ear and tried to wipe your tears
“hey you okay?” minho says with an amused but soft smile
you just nod trying to stop crying but failing miserably
thank the lord you didn’t wear mascara 
he laughs sweetly at you 
“oh come on stop crying you look ugly when you cry” he says jokingly
“HEY!” you protest hitting him on the arm
“nah you’re always pretty” he says giving you a wink
“lee minho STOP FLIRTING WITH ME” you indignantly say 
“why? isn’t your boyfriend supposed to flirt with you?” he says smirking wigging his eyebrows
“i-i y-you m-my b-boyfriend?” you splutter out trying to process what he said 
he rolls his eyes but secretly he loves every moment of this
“yes idiot do i have to make it any clearer to you?” 
you’re just frozen still trying to process what the actual fuck was happening
“i guess i have to” minho says leaning forward smirking just before kissing you
and suddenly
minho’s lips was on yours
and you just completely melted into him
every crevice of your body perfectly fit with his
his arms were snug around your waist bringing you as close to him as physically possible
one of your hands was on the back of his neck bringing his lips closer to yours
while the other hand was lightly grabbing his hair messing it up 
fireworks, sparks, butterflies 
you felt all of it
the kiss was hot, passionate, sweet and steamy
kissing minho felt like the most natural thing to do in the world 
you just couldn’t get enough of him
but both of you finally parted remembering you both needed to actually breathe
foreheads together still hugging with heavy breathing and wide grins 
you could hear several of the guys commenting from the front row amongst the even louder cheers and applause
“EWWWWWWWWWWWWW” jeongin says squirming 
“GET A ROOM” chan shouts
“disgusting” seungmin shouts rolling his eyes
“wow i’m jealous minho will you be my boyfriend” jisung jokingly not says
you two barely even noticed what was happening 
you were so wrapped up in your own little bubble just the two of you 
“took you long enough boyfriend” you teased smiling 
“i know i was worth the wait princess” minho cockily says finishing his sentence with his signature smirk and another heart melting kiss 
⋆ ──────── ⋆ ✩ ⋆ ──────── ⋆
my gif take with creds!!
finally back with a scenario!! I have so many wips and requests I just needed to take a break from them and just let myself write. the result this fuckboy au!! i hope you enjoyed all the flirting, banter, and humor (these sort of scenarios are my fav to write). also requests are always open!!

Can you please do the ship meme for audrey and Harriet
1.Whois the most affectionate?:
Audrey.
Harriethas lived most of her life believing that your “lovely wenches”are largely, or exclusively for sex, that there’s something in itfor them outside of your love and affection, and that they will “sailoff for better shores” at any given moment.
Tohave someone that will willingly stay by her side through the goodparts, legitimately and frequently seek out her company, and valueloyalty and fidelity towards Harriet specifically is new to her.
It’sstrange and confusing, but in the good sense.
2.Bigspoon/Little spoon?:
Harrietis big spoon, Audrey is little spoon.
Harrietis also generally very physically possessive of Audrey as a matter ofhabit, “keeping close to me what wandering hands might want to takefrom me.” Seeing as there’s few who’re willing to (eitheremotionally or physically) steal Audrey away from her, thisleads to a lot of Harriet casually being close to her, holding herhand, and draping herself over her like “I was the season’shottest new fashion accessory: mostly reformed descendant ofpirates.”
3.Mostcommon argument?:
Harriet’smore illegal, irresponsible, and self-destructive habits and personalissues, such as her alcoholism.
Audreyhas gotten her to make her drinking habit more “palatable anddecent” (and to her mild shame, into looking for relief at thebottom of the bottle every once in a while) with various rules andconditions that Harriet obliges most of the time. To name a few,there’s not drinking in certain public areas, always having adesignated driver to get her home safely and a means to lockeverything but her phone’s emergency calling feature when she’swasted, and changing her drink list to much more “refined”choices like cocktails, spirits, and fermented products that weren’tbrewed in a crusty, partially rotted out barrel with bilge water.
However,whether or not she’s musing over how stupidly named yetdelicious mudslides are, the end result is still Harriet goingabout doing stupid, dangerous, and/or irresponsible things whileunder the influence, frequently ending with her waking up somewheremysterious without her “peg leg.”
Fortunately,a knee-down prosthetic leg is very easy to find and bereturned to you when a large and noticeable component is a smallcutlass with Harriet’s name inscribed on the blade.
4.Favoritenon-sexual activity?:
R.O.A.R.training and traditional sword fighting for fun, with a bit ofunarmed self-defense and martial arts to mix things up. Since Audreywill “argue till the Blues find yer corpses pointing fingers ateach other like they were swords,” they solve most of their debatesand conflicts through combat.
5.Whois most likely to carry the other?:
Harriet,in spite of her having a prosthetic leg, and sometimes even withoutit, though Audrey complains loudly about the over-the-shoulder tacticthis requires, along her having to help balance Harriet while shehops around.
“I’msupposed to be able to swoon or faint while in your arms, notpitching my weight around to keep your balance!”
“D’youwant to get yer pretty little arse home, or d’you want the both ofus to sit here and wait for someone to get us un-marooned fromwherever the fuck we washed up now?!”
6.Whatis their favorite feature of their partner’s?:
Harriet’smuscular arms are Audrey’s favourite, for looking at, or especiallybeing handled with. “I got cannons lined up port and starboard,best ye think thrice ‘fore you fuck with me.”
Inpolite company, it’s Audrey’s lips, in impolite company, it’sher breasts; the courtesy and not incurring Audrey’s wrath beside,Harriet loves both equally, just in different ways.
7.What’sthe first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings forthe other?:
Harrietstarts being more specific and exclusive with her flirtations, seeingas “ye Auradon wenches like to feel like yer the only treasuresthat can catch a pirate’s eye.” There’s also floating about theidea to the other VKs in the hopes that she can subtly get themtalking about their relationships, as her pride does not let her askoutright.
Audreypanics, questions everything, makes serious, practical considerationsabout whether she would be able to let alone want to pursue arelationship with Harriet, and consumes far more piratefantasy romance novels than is probably healthy.
“Fuck’ssake, and here I thought us Villain Kids were a thirsty bunch...”when Harriet first learns of the shockingly prolific and variedmarket for “Villainous Romance” novels.
8.Nicknames?& if so, how did they originate?:
“(Me)Lovely Wench,” or just “(Me) Love,” for Audrey, “(Me)Treasure,” and “Yer Highness” are the ones Harriet uses forAudrey, the former three being her usual terms of endearment towardsher exes, and the last being because Audrey is actually royalty, andorders her around a lot like she was one of her loyal servants.
“Notentirely wrong, but not entirely right, either.”
“Honey,”“Sweetie,” “Darling,” and all the usual terms of endearmentbecause Audrey is the “Classic Princess” sort of girlfriend, butthanks to Harriet’s influence, she has also expanded her book toinclude “Fuck-Face,” “DPOS (Drunken Piece OfShit,” and the “Most Daring Pantie Raider in all ofAuradon.”
Ofthe latter half, the first is used verbally or textually, the secondis used as an acronym in informal written communication like text,and always spoken in full otherwise, and the third came fromHarriet’s habit of stealing Audrey’s panties after they have sex,and hiding it in places that forces her to wear or buy new ones, or“sail with a lovely breeze between her legs.”  
9.Whoworries the most?:
Audrey.
It’spart and parcel with her neurotic tendencies, and her hyper-focus andcare on her public image and reputation. Harriet is much morelaissez-faire, but then again, she prides personal freedom first ofall and was always comfortable with the fact that she will bedespised and feared by pretty much everyone.
“It’skind of the dream of any Pirate Queen, to have that kind ofreputation preceding ye.”
10.Whoremembers what the other one always orders at a restaurant?:
Harriet,surprisingly enough.
Asa Captain who has no qualms getting down with the crew when it’s“all hands on deck,” she’s got a very strong memory forspecific details, things she needs to do, and what happened recently,largely because she and the rest of the Villain Kids move fast, inkand paper that you can write on is a precious commodity, and theyfrequently get soaked and unreadable in rain or particularly nastysea storms.
Pleasemind that after getting to Auradon, she’s gotten a lazy streakabout her now that she can piggyback on all these people who arealready paid to do things for her. Back on the Isle, she couldn’treally afford leaving a job unfinished because no one wants to do it,lest the entire section of Hook’s own ship she controlled at themoment collapse, or her siblings get the advantage in their wrestingit from her.
Hernewfound laziness and eagerness to “delegate” bothers Audrey, butshe doesn’t complain lest she appear hypocritical to Harriet.
11.Whotops?:
Dependson who “wins” during foreplay and/or the duel beforehand.
12.Whoinitiates kisses?:
Harrietdoesn’t really do the rest of the affectionate actions likepublicly or privately declare that she loves Audrey, but if there’sone thing she loves doing, it’s publicly “claiming” and showingoff her latest treasures.
13.Whoreaches for the other’s hand first?:
Harriet,again, with the possessive nature of hers, and her paranoia of peopletaking her “treasures.” It becomes a lot less about security andmore about affection as time goes on, though.
14.Whokisses the hardest?:
Audrey.
Thereis a LOT of repressed and much more blatant and aggressive sexualityinside her, and she was keen on doing most everything she could tokeep whatever boyfriend (or in this case, girlfriend) she had withher.
Herreasons have gotten less superficial and selfish over the years, butHarriet still has this thought at the back of her head, the one thattells her to watch for Audrey pulling out a knife while she has herdistracted with the force and enthusiasm of her kisses.
Therehave also been some rather enlightening conversations with Benand Chad, over drinks and without cameras trained on them.
15.Whowakes up first?:
Harriet.
“It’sthe dawn of a new day, time to live it to the fullest!”
16.Whowants to stay in bed just a little longer?:
Audrey.
“No,it is not! Now shut up, get back in bed, and letme get the rest of my beauty sleep!”
17.Whosays I love you first?:
Harriet,because she’s already comfortable with her sexuality of “mosteverything that lives, breathes, and moves,” and because “I loveyou” doesn’t really carry as much weight in the Isle as it doesin Auradon.
Sidenote, she found the way Audrey panicked and got flustered quiteamusing.
18.Wholeaves little notes in the other’s one lunch? (Bonus: what does itusually say?):
Audrey.
Theyusually have reminders about important things that Harriet needs toshow up to like doctor’s appointments, public events, andoccasionally a “treasure map,” with specific instructions forHarriet if she wants to get to Audrey’s “treasure chest” anytime soon.
19.Whotells their family/friends about their relationship first?:
Harriet.
It’sreally nothing new for Captain Hook to hear that his kids have hookedup with someone new—he was guilty of it himself, of course.
20.Whatdo their family/friends think of their relationship?:
CJand Harry both silently make bets about how long it’s going tolast, and start thinking up angles on how to exploit it to theiradvantage, such as kidnapping Audrey and using her as a bargainingchip to get Harriet to their bidding.
(Theystopped doing it after they learned the hard way that Audrey can a bea VERY unpleasant hostage, whether or not you gag and tie her andthrow her in the deepest, most secure brig you have. She will find away, she always does.)
Hookis disappointed but understanding that she’d want to dedicateherself to someone exclusively, and hopes that it won’t hamper hisdreams of his children going on to concur Auradon, and have the Hookname live on in infamy once more.
Audrey’sfamily are all incredibly chill with it, save perhaps hergrandmother. They’ve all really gotten over the initial shock ofVKs dating AKs, and in some ways, they’re happy that Harriet isgetting Audrey to be more daring and independent, be her own personrather than just be someone’s “prize.”
Theother AKs are concerned, Ben especially with how he knows Audreyspecifcally, but they don’t really question True Love, or ones thatare Generally Good.
TheVKs wholeheartedly and passionately warn Harriet against datingAudrey because she’s several shades of problematic, but inhindsight, it’s a good thing that Harriet ultimately listens to herown thoughts than others’.
21.Whois more likely to start dancing with the other?:
Harriet.
Inthe wake of her losing her original ankle in a horrific accident, shemade it a point that she would never be handicapped by herhandicap. As a result, she trained for long hours, getting around andeventually performing acrobatics with her “peg leg,” one of hermost common exercises being forcing herself to dance to whatever seashanty the bards in her crew were playing now. It was a gruelingcouple of years, sincethe initial prototypes were prone to breaking and injuring her fromstress, excessive use, and lack of maintenance.
ToHarriet, dancing in public is a form of therapy for the lingeringshame and the difficulties of being an amputee, proudly showing offto others that she’s not any less than anyone for having one lesslimb, and if she gets to show off Audrey and the two of them have aroaring good time?
Well,that’s just the new treasure map hidden inside the chest’s lid.
22.Whocooks more/who is better at cooking?:
Audrey.
WhileHarriet has cooked for herself and others, her skills are of the “howcan I make this not terrible and actually edible” variety, whileAudrey has had rigorous training and habit of cooking, thanks to her(fairy) godmothers Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather enlisting her helpwith chores.
23.Whocomes up with cheesy pick up lines?:
Harriet.
“Wasyer mother a siren? ‘Cause that voice of yours’ got me changingcourse to yer twin peaks.”
Incase you were wondering, “twin peaks” is Harriet’s slang forboobs, especially when she’s got her face between them.
24.Whowhispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear duringinappropriate times?:
Harriet.
“How about you and me sail offinto the night, head down somewhere nice and quiet, just you and me?”Harriet says whenever she’s coaxing Audrey into leaving boring ortedious events, frequently followed by vivid descriptions ofher ideas for the moment.
25.Whoneeds more assurance?:
Audrey.
Harriethas her times when she’s unconfident or unsure, but she gets overthem quickly, as she’s always needed to put on a proud face for heryounger siblings and her crew. Meanwhile, Audrey’s whole worldtends to come falling apart when something comes along that provesthat she and her life isn’t as perfect and flawless as she thinksit should be.
26.Whatwould be their theme song?:
“SheWill Be Loved” by Maroon 5.
Audreyhas only really dated Ben her whole life. What she has of herromantic experience is strictly limited to a boyfriend that has thepatience of a saint, and a gigantic capacity for compromise andself-sacrifice.
Afterher rocky rebound relationship with Chad, Audrey quickly finds that aLOT of boys and girls (and the odd non-binary gender) are fine withjust looking at her, or stay only for the good parts and leavefor the rest of it—Auradon Kids are raised with very high, oftenunrealistic expectations for their relationships.
Harriet,in a change of pace from the usual “love ‘em and leave ‘em,then love ‘em again and leave em again, then again, and again, andagain” cycle of Isle relationships, finds herself actually growingfond of Audrey and wanting to try this “monogamy” thing as shelearns more about her past the outward facade and reputation, howshe’s broken like her in so many different ways, and that the twoof them are “floating shipwrecks waiting to crash and burn oncethey finally hit that last rock, get swept up by the storm that doesthem in, or meet someone who has the decency to finally put us out ofour miseries.”
Buteven if they’re broken and troubled and terrible people, “… Iwon’t mind being marooned on an island with just you fer company.”
27.Whowould sing to their child back to sleep?:
Theyswitch duties, depending on who’s less tired.
Audreyhas all the classic lullabies and tales of heroism, though with thenames and pronouns mixed up to reflect her new reality, Harriet has(heavily sterilized) sea shanties and tales of heradventures, with most of the bad and embarrasing (for her) parts cutout.
28.Whatdo they do when they’re away from each other?:
Harrietgoes about her usual business “lookin’ for loot, and spendin’it just as quickly,” trying to be a responsible adult all byherself, or hanging out with her new “crews” on land or at sea.
Audreyusually attends to the more delicate and sensitive duties that can dowithout Harriet’s “unique perspective,” like small meetings andevents with the other Royals and upper crust of Auradon, alongsidehanging out with her friends and being less dependent on Harriet forher social needs, and “me time” such as shopping for clothes,going to spas, and educating herself about numerous matters.
29.oneheadcanon about this OTP that breaks your heart:
It’snot really new for Harriet to not come home, or crash at any of herfriends’ places after going out drinking. Audrey has long acceptedthat her girlfriend is an alcoholic, and tries her best to mitigatethe effects of that.
Whenit goes WAY too far, however, is not the time Harriet throws up on adistinguished individual, or when she humiliates herself and Audreyon live television while she’s all out blitzed, it’s when shegets into a car crash after trying to drive herself back home, andit’s only through luck that it was her prosthetic leg that gotcrushed beyond repair.
It’straumatizing for Harriet as she’s reminded of her mortality and thelimits of her body, and it’s even more traumatizing for Audrey whohas to face the facts that Harriet’s old problems and habits aremuch worse, that she almost lost her for good, and that forthe sake of both of them, serious, much more dire steps needto be taken to reform her.
Audreyquickly becomes overbearing and even more strict than usual, losing alot of the warmth and affection that Harriet likes and needs fromher, and it gets so bad that Harriet finally snaps, yelling at herand telling her to leave her alone, “I don’t need yer help, nowget outta my sight!”
Audreyis initially stunned, then she’s confused, then she’s angry, thenshe’s saddened, and finally horrified. Harriet sees the realizationin her eyes, but her pride and old, maladaptive habits keep her fromdoing anything but continue to yell at her until one of the nursescall her out and Audrey leaves the hospital in tears.
Laterthat night in the recovery ward with all the other amputees, Harrietonce more finds herself laying down in a bed she can’t get up from,staring at the space where her right ankle used to be, and beingreminded that it’s gone forever, there is no turning back in time,or getting a replacement that could come close to the original.
Andfor the few times in her life, she feels scared, sad, and alone—sovery alone…
30.oneheadcanon about this OTP that mends it:
Therest of the VKs and the AKs quickly swoop in and take it uponthemselves to help save this relationship and their friends, bygetting Audrey to back off and trust that Harriet does not needsomeone to constantly baby her and dictate her every move, that heraffections have gone too far and it’s suffocating Harriet, and forHarriet to finally get a chance to directly and frankly share withAudrey that she never likes feeling like someone is telling her whatto do, because she hates people treating her like she’s tooincompetent to make a responsible decision by herself.
OnHarriet’s side, she’s given plenty of hard lessons with showingvulnerability, reaching out to others, and asking for help when she’sfallen down and can’t get back up, sometimes literally because sheonly has one leg, she’s lost her crutch, and has nothing nearby tograb and pull herself up by.
Ittakes a lot of time with just their friends and trained, professionaltherapists before they can or are willing see each other again, buteventually, Audrey and Harriet sit down for tea once more with justthe two of them at the table. It’s horribly awkward for a longwhile as Audrey sees Harriet’s crutch resting nearby, and Harrietsees that Audrey definitely looks sorry and repentant for the helllined with good intentions she put her through.
Eventually,the two of them blurt out “I’m sorry!” at each other, and goabout discussing all the ways they messed up, and how they’re goingto get better in the future.
Severalweeks later, Audrey wheels Harriet out of the hospital herself,before they take a picture together of her standing with her brandnew titanium “peg leg,” this time with a much better swordintegrated into the model itself.
Tocelebrate, the two of them quickly find a good spot in the parkinglot, and have their first duel in far too long.
Harrietloses, because her new leg is without all the design flaws, damage,and less-than-ideal repair solutions she’s used to, but Audreypromises there’ll be many more rematches in the future.

Europa Leauge: Kreissl: "Putting everything into a second chance
Tumblr media
Sturm Graz have their back to the wall in the European League qualifiers. With the bitter 2-0 defeat at home in the first leg of the third round against AEK Larnaka, the Graz-based team are in a very bad position. “We need a small miracle that might be possible in a game,” storm coach Heiko Vogel said on Wednesday before the flight to Cyprus.
But this requires a clear increase. A week ago, the people of Graz were guilty in front of their own audience and did not seem to be able to deal with the pressure of the alleged favourite. The problem no longer exists. “Larnaka is the big favorite. We have a worse starting position, but less pressure as a result. Larnaka would be disappointed to be out of the race, we would be very happy to make progress,” Sturm’s coach said.
Sport Managing Director Günter Kreissl clearly committed his players: “I want everyone to believe in promotion and to put everything into the second chance”. This should be recognized by the body language, the fighting spirit and the dynamics of the game. “We have a half-time break in round three. If we turn this, the great force would release,” the former goalie was sure. In the other case, hopes for a European group stage would be over early, after they failed to make it into the Champions League against Ajax Amsterdam.
The people of Graz are determined to avoid this. They are now used to the English weeks. “We’ve played every third day in the last few weeks and I think we’ve found the rhythm,” said defender Dario Maresic. Coach Vogel described the double burden in midsummer as “hard”, but does not want to complain about it. “The situation is as it is, everyone wants to prove themselves European,” the German emphasized.
Larnaka will face a team that is not yet in the championship and has not scored a goal in three European League qualifiers (4-0 and 0-0 against Dundalk). “It’s time to change that. Larnaka is not an over-the-hill team. Three goals and I am convinced that we have moved on,” Peter Zulj has his sights set on a turnaround. No one else has written off the promotion either. “We’re hungry to shoot it and have to be there from the first minute,” said striker Markus Pink.
The people of Graz can’t make much tactics because of the backlog. “With an early goal and efficiency, we can bring the game to our side and force the luck of the game,” Pink hoped. That was missing last in the 2-0 defeat against St. Pölten on Sunday. It was the second consecutive competitive defeat after the weak performance at European level against AEK, which was overshadowed by a spectator throwing a cup at the referee plus a long break.
“After the two defeats, the situation is not easy. The messages about injuries to key players were also a damper,” said President Christian Jauk. That’s why he and his team, which won five games on a European level, boarded the plane as a “blatant outsider”, in which captain Stefan Hierländer and Otar Kiteishvili, who was not eligible for the league Sunday duel with Altach, also sat. Jakob Jantscher’s syndesmosis ligament rupture was recently joined by goalkeeper Jörg Siebenhandl’s abdominal muscle injury. The root goalie should not have to pause long. In Cyprus he is represented by Tobias Schützenauer. The 21-year-old makes his European Cup debut.
“I have a great feeling everyone believes in his qualities. Perhaps tomorrow, as so often, it will be a great moment for a young goalkeeper,” Kreissl explained. According to Vogel, the ÖFB-U21 national goalkeeper should not be in focus. “The goalkeeper shouldn’t be so important, we have to succeed on the other side,” said the 42-year-old. Trencin, who won the first leg 4-0 against Feyenoord Rotterdam, is probably waiting for the promoted team. “If they go on, I have nothing against the English weeks,” Vogel said with a smile. Storm’s last victory in the European Cup was at Mladost Podgorica on July 20, 2017. The 3:0 from that time would be enough to get ahead again this time.
