timebomb fucking sucks as a ship. they could've worked as a toxic and heartbreaking portrayal of change and how forgiveness isn't always the answer but the writers fucked them over. I always thought timebomb had great angst potential, but I never thought they should've had a relationship in any capacity. jinx murdered multiple of his friends and we're just supposed to let that slide? just going to ignore that ekko and the firelights were terrorized by jinx? ekko says himself most of the firelights are dead because of silco. and I wouldn't be surprised if jinx had a hand in most of their deaths. you can argue ohh she was doing it for silco it wasn't personal!! yeah but they're still dead. they still died at her hands. they're stained with firelight blood.
there was a lot of potential with them being foils to one another, jinx being a revolutionary for herself and for silcos memory, ekko being a revolutionary for his people and zaun as a whole. but nooo dumb bullshit multiverse plot that ignores who jinx is in the canon universe and completely undermines ekko with that "what would you do without her" bullshit. ofc when white writers take hold of this relationship it becomes abt how the black character should save his white counterpart no matter the amount of suffering she's brought upon him.

Chapter 2 bby. Have fun reading and any feedback is greatly appreciated. :)
Chapter: 2
Words: 1.7k
Roman P.O.V.
"Okay, i'll pick you up here later. You should be fine, just remember-"
"To look for the signs, make friends and don't beat anyone up we get it." Remus reiterated. Uncle sighed.
"Just.. be careful. okay?"
"We'll be fine uncle. C'mon Roman." Remus said, nearly dragging me out of the car.
"see you later," I smiled at Uncle as I shut the car door.
We stood in awe at the building in front of us. "Who knew schools could be this big," i whispered.
"I know right. Fucking hell."
We wandered around like lost puppies as we tried to find reception. "Look." I said, pointing to a sign that said "office"
"Thank-fucking-finally," Remus sighed as we started to follow the signs.
/////
"Oh you boys must be Roman and Remus King, correct?" The receptionist asked, noticing us as she lifted her head from her computer, before she went to back to her work.
"That's us. We were told to come here and get our schedules?" I replied, noticing the "she/her" badge she had on her blouse.
"Oh! You're English!" She stated, looking up and giving us her full attention.
"Yep! We're good ol' Brits! Now can we get our schedules please?" Remus interupted, already annoyed at her.
"oh, of course! here-" She said as Remus snatched the schedules off of her. I elbowed him in the rib, somewhat harshly.
"ow! you bitc-"
"be nice" i chided. He responded by growling lightly.
"Sorry for him," I apologised to the receptionist.
"Its okay!" she smiled. "There should be a student coming soon to give you a tour.." She went on, explaining how the timetables worked, where to get lunch and how the one-way system on the stairs worked. Remus gave up listening pretty quickly and instead was looking out for the student that was going to tour us.
"hey babes" I heard as Remus nudged me. I turned to look at Remus as he nodded towards the student. click click. The sound of heeled shoes filled the room. A man wearing big, round sunglasses, a black jacket and obnoxiously sipping a Starbucks strutted into the room.
"Remy!" the receptionist exclaimed "Good to see you. Here are the new students, Roman and Remus king" She gestured towards us.
"hi!"
"sup bitch." Remus saluted. Remy giggled as I turned to Remus exasperatedly.
"I'm Roman. He/Him" I continued, sticking out my hand. He shook it.
"Remy. Also he/him." He purred, winking at me. He chuckled lightly at my eyes widening slightly at his confidence and forwardness.
"Oh, and who is this cutie?" He pondered, moving so he was in front of Remus. He took a slow sip of his Starbucks as he checked Remus out, eyes fluttering up and down.
"I'm- er- Remus. Um- he/him and all- hehe- did you know if you clenched every muscle in your back at the same time you'd break your spine? hehe" Remus spluttered quickly, not used to all the attention. Remy smiled affectionately.
"I didn't. Thanks for the knowledge Einstein. Logan's gonna like you." He said, muttering the last of the sentence.
"Remy dear, the receptionist interrupted. "May you please give our new students the tour so they can get to lunch on time?."
Remus looked to me, confused. "Lunch? Isn't it like half way through first period at the minute?." Remy chuckled again.
"Yeah, but schools here aren't as small as they are in England. It might be a while. Plus I need to take you to the Principal's office and god knows how long that'll take. So come on hon," he gestured with his head towards the door and took another slurp of his Starbucks as he placed his phone in his pocket. click click. I turned to Remus who just shrugged and started following Remy.
/////
It was around lunch, when we had finished being dragged around and severely warned by the principal of the punishments for any misbehaviour. We trudged along through the canteen, making our way outside.
"that's a good spot," Remus said, pointing to a big oak tree, where no one was sitting.
"alrighty then."
Remus plonked down as we reached the tree. "heads up" I called. Remus barely had any time to react before I flung my bag towards him. He caught it milliseconds before it would've hit his face.
Bitch." he scowled as I sat down, a few feet away from the tree. "That tour took us fucking forever," he complained.
"I knowww."
"Why the fuck did we go to the dorms if we aint gonna get one for another week or so?!"
"I suppose it was so they could get the tour done in on hit?" I reasoned.
"Yeah.. Its still fucking shite though." I smirked as Remus sighed dramatically and brought his sketchbook out of his bag. Along with a pencil and rubber.
"I thought Uncle said not to bring that. It coul-"
"I don't give a shit. Let me have this one thing. Be thankful I didn't decide to bring my iPad." Remus scowled. I pouted at him.
"Well what am I supposed to do now?"
"Practice your lines for that shitty play your doing." He offered, throwing my back towards me.
"Excuse me. It aint 'shitty'. Its fun! Plus doing community plays will help me get to a good place in the future. you know this." I defended, air-quoting the word "shitty"
"Whatever. I still don't understand how you managed to find a theatre and audition when we've only been here for like a week and a half." I flicked the ends of my hair obnoxiously.
"What can I say? I'm just amazing." Remus snorted at that and through a crumpled piece of paper at me.
"nerd." He returned to his drawing, ignoring my "offended princey noises" as he called them. I stuck my tongue out at him as I rooted through my bag to find my lines.
Remus P.O.V
Watching Princey practice was always funny. Without fail, he would always go from sitting down, to walking around, practicing the delivery of the lines, script in one hand, the other flourishing through the air, within a maximum of 5 minutes. I leant back on the tree more as I stopped drawing for a second to watch my brother. He was walking back and forth, reciting about slaying some dragon thing. "Don't worry. I will save you! Begone evil Dragon!" he shouted, jumping into a fighting stance. His free arm acting like it was holding a sword. I burst out laughing at him. Roman turned around furiously, shooting death glares at me. Unfortunately for him, this only made me laugh louder. His eyes narrowed at me before he too, started laughing.
"You're a fucking dork."
"Yeah, yeah. Just lemme practice." I rolled my eyes before focusing back on my design. No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to look right. And boy, was i determined to get it right.
/////
"Hey!" a new, chirpy voice said. I looked up to see a kid looming over me.
"can I help you?" I asked, trying to be nice.
"Yeah. I was wondering If you've seen our friend? they're around so-high, chestnut hair, blue overalls, yellow t-shirt, black jacket with a.... double headed snake? on the back." The boy explained.
"nah I don't recognise the description. Why would I have seen.. them?" he asked, noticing the pronouns used and feeling slightly proud of himself for noticing.
"It seems they're new Patton. That would probably explain why they don't recognise Janus and they don't know that we normally sit here." A different boy said. "where the fuck did he come from?!" he thought.
"Its alright Logan. Janus will find us and we can always sit somewhere else for today." the first boy, Patton? ,said.
"But vi-"
"Hold on lemme get that dipshit." I interrupted. I turned towards Roman, who was oblivious to the entire conversation as he was quite a few feet away. "OI TWAT!" I shouted. Roman jumped at the sudden noise and his foot caught on a visible tree root and he fell over, landing on his arse. I, once again, burst out laughing.
"Wha-" He cut himself off when he noticed the boys. He quickly got up and walked back towards us.
"He's much better at things like this." I explained between laughs as Roman arrived, cheeks dusted In pink from embarrassment.
"twat?" The taller one, Logan?, asked.
"Its a British thing." I said, waving my hand dismissively.
"Oh, you're British!" The smaller one, (Patton? I don't fucking know) said excitedly.
"Indeed we are." Roman said, entering the conversation.
I let Roman take over as I tuned out the conversation and focused back onto my design.
//
"I'd draw an extra petal there." someone said. I jumped slightly at that and turned to see someone sat next to me, snickering at my shock. I turned to see that Roman was sat opposite me, the boys from earlier were sat to my left and the person who I could only assume was 'Janus' was sat next to me. I stared into their face, searching for a sign that he was mocking me. "Janus. They/them." The person said, unfazed, confirming my suspicions. Once I felt satisfied with their intentions, I turned back towards my page where they had their hand.
"Remus. He/him." I said as I started sketching. I was trying to draw a rose, with its flowers wilting off. Kinda like the flower from Beauty And The Beast. The movie which I was forced to watch the other night by my brothers demands.
Once I was finished sketching the flower, I saw how much better it looked with Janus' addition. I turn to thank Janus, only to see them looking at me. Smiling at my own happiness towards the now finished design.
"Thanks," I said cheerfully "it looks so much better now"
"No problem," Janus simply said.
"Ah so you've decided to come back down to earth now?" Roman teased, noticing how I wasn't fixated on my page anymore.
"Fuck off." I said, sticking out my tongue. Roman giggled whilst Patton inhaled sharply. I turned to Janus, a confused look etched onto my face.
"Patton doesn't like swearing." they explained. I chuckled mentally. "Well i'm fucked" I thought, Laughing again at the irony.
"well at least he didn't fall over a tree root now," Janus said to Roman, smirking. I started laughing.
"I like this one." I said and everyone joined In with my laughter.
The bell cut the fun short though. We all, besides Logan, groaned as we started to collect our things and head towards our next lessons.

Mamma Mia - Chapter 7
Pairing - Tony Stark x reader, Steve Rogers x reader, Bucky Barnes x reader
Word Count - 2,869
Warning - none
A/N - and here is Chapter 7! I hope you all like this story so far because I have had so much fun writing it! comment who you think Y/N will end up with!
Intro Prologue 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Tumblr media
"I'm dreaming," was the first thing that escaped Y/N's lips as she stared at the three men in front of her. "This isn't real." She looked down and began to mumble to herself before something seemed to snap inside her brain and she was suddenly looking up at the men with narrowed eyes. "You know what. I'd better be dreaming. You'd better not be here."
"I could pinch you if that would help," Tony replied with a smirk as he leaned forward, but Y/N was quick to slap his hand away as a small laugh left her mouth.
"No! You keep your hands to yourself, Tony Stark. I know that might be hard with your reputation," she said, a hint of bitterness in her tone as she remembered how they had ended things. A flicker of hurt flashed through Tony's eyes and he took a step back as if she had wounded him, but Y/N quickly looked away before she could feel bad for him.
"You probably don't recognise me, do you?" a voice asked and Y/N turned her head, a small smile appearing on her face at the sight of her former best friend.
"Steven Grant Rogers. I could recognize you in a heartbeat," Y/N said, her voice soft as those stunning blue eyes stared back at her. A warm smile broke out on Steve's face and he nervously scratched the back of his neck.
"I probably changed a bit," he admitted. "But you certainly haven't." The way he looked at her made her blush slightly and Y/N was quick to look down as she tried to compose herself. She quickly shook her head and stumbled off the air mattress and onto her feet.
"Why are you three here? What are you doing here?" Y/N asked as she let out a shaky breath and looked back up at her exes. She hadn't bothered looking at the last of the three, knowing that if she did, she would lose the little confidence she had left.
"I'm looking for a new place to establish another branch for Stark Industries," Tony replied with a small shrug. Y/N,who had been narrowing her eyes at the man, softened slightly once realizing that his explanation made sense.
How he happened to pick the same island she was on, she didn't know. But she didn't bother thinking about it much for she was already looking to Steve.
"I'm here on a spontaneous holiday," Steve stammered. Y/N nodded, accepting his answer, before taking a deep breath and turning to look at the last of the three.
James Buchanan Barnes.
Bucky didn't know what to say when Y/N turned to look at him. He had made up an excuse long again, but now that he was standing there in front of the girl who had stolen his heart all those years ago while she stared at him with those big e/c eyes of hers. . .he suddenly couldn't think straight.
Y/N raised an eyebrow at the man who had yet to answer and it took a small nudge from Steve for Bucky to finally snap out of it. "Uh-huh. . .I just dropped in to say hi," Bucky muttered, not taking his eyes off of Y/N for a second.
Y/N blinked in surprise before narrowing her eyes at him. He wasn't being serious, was he? He had been the one to leave and now he was just dropping by to say hi?
Bucky cleared his throat awkwardly before giving Y/N a quick up and down. "How. . .how are you? You look great by the way," he said.
The girl didn't respond for a moment, still in shock. But then she was letting out a sigh and shaking her head. She looked at the three and, after deciding to ignore Bucky's question, muttered, "Okay. What is this?"
Steve and Bucky both stood there with their mouths opening and closing, obviously not knowing what to say. Tony let out a small sigh as he shook his head at the two. They had promised Alex they wouldn't tell anyone why they were here, by how were they going to be able to do that if the two blue eyed idiots couldn't lie?
Guess it was up to Tony Stark to save the day again.
"This, Y/N," Tony began as he walked up to the girl and slung an arm around her shoulders, "is one of those serendipitous moments in life when three complete strangers share a common thought."
If Y/N hadn't had a million thoughts running through her head at once she would've shoved Tony's arm off of her, but she was already looking between the three boys with a confused and questioning glance.
"Strangers? You don't know each other?" Y/N asked. "That's generally the definition," Steve replied as he let out a small laugh. Y/N stared at the three for a moment in silence before letting out a sigh of relief.
"Okay, good, but who. . .Why are you here? Who said that you could stay up in my old goat-house?" Y/N asked.
"Didn't catch the name," Tony replied with a shrug as he let his arm fall. He began to walk back over to where Steve and Bucky were and he subtly gave them a look for them to join in.
Bucky took the hint first and was quick to say, "Greek lady." "Well, she spoke Greek," Steve added. "Yeah," Bucky agreed as he pointed a finger at Steve.
Tony rolled his eyes when Y/N wasn't looking. These boys needed some lessons in lying that was for sure. "Or maybe she said we couldn't stay in the old goat-house," Tony said, hoping to save the conversation.
"Yeah, maybe that was it, in Greek," Steve muttered and Tony would've facepalmed himself if Y/N hadn't been watching them like a hawk. "There you go," Tony whispered out as he looked to the girl, hoping she would believe them.
"Yeah, that's it, that's it," Y/N said as she pointed at them. "You can't stay here because I'm closed and I'm full." She then seemed to remember something as was quick to walk over to the trapdoor and start opening it. "And I'm busy, I'm really. . .I have a wedding, my. . .Local girl's getting married."
"Y/N, don't worry about us," Bucky assured her, already sensing how stressed out she was and knowing that the wedding was for her daughter and not just some local girl. "Tony here seems excited about this whole roughing it thing. And Steve here. . ."
"I'm spontaneous," Steve muttered while both Tony and Bucky gave the boy a look. Bucky shook his head slightly and looked to Y/N before giving her a small smile. "Spontaneous," he said.
"Ah. What about you?" Y/N asked, her eyes flickering over the boy uncertainly. "Just wanted to see the island," Bucky said. His eyes locked with hers and a flicker of something Y/N couldn't register flashed through his eyes. "You know what it meant to me."
Y/N tensed at that before quickly looking away and pulling the trapdoor open. "Okay, I'm gonna arrange for a boat to take you all back to the mainland," Y/N said as she began to climb down.
"I have a boat, Y/N," Tony told her. "You have a-?" Y/N trailed off before letting out a small laugh. "Of course you do. Well, good, get on it, and anchors away. Away away.
"Hey, Y/N," Steve called after the girl who had almost disappeared down below. Y/N, despite her better judgement, stopped and looked up to see all three of the men were staring down at her with the same smiles on their faces that had been the reason for her to fall for them so long ago.
"It's good to see you," all three of them said in unison.
Y/N blinked in surprise and just nodded slightly before closing the door as quick as possible. The three men jumped back at the sudden noise before a silence fell among them.
"Well," Tony said earning the attention of the other two men. He glanced over at them and gave them a small smile.
"Besides the fact that you two need to learn how to lie, I think that went well."

"Here's your drink, Wanda," Vision, the bartender, said as he placed a glass in front of the girl who was in the middle of a conversation with Pepper and Natasha. Wanda glanced over at the boy and gave him a small smile as she took the glass. "Thanks, Vis," she muttered before taking a sip.
Vision stared at her in silence for a minute before he looked down at the rag he was nervously twisting with his hands. "Hey, I was wondering. . .with the wedding and everything. . .if you had a date or if you maybe needed one?" Vision asked, his eyes nervously flickering up to look at the girl before he looked back down again with a small blush tinting his cheeks.
Wanda sighed and set her cup down. "Vision, I've told you before, I don't want to date right now. I'm sorry," she said as she gave the boy an apologetic look.
Vision looked back up, his cheeks becoming even more red, but this time out of embarrassment. "No, yeah, yeah. It's fine. I. . .I get it," he assured her. "I've got another customer so. . .I'll see you later."
He then tossed the towel over his shoulder before walking away with his head held a little lower than before. Pepper and Natasha frowned as they watched him leave while Wanda looked down at her drink sadly.
"The poor boy," Pepper muttered. "Come on, Wanda. Why don't you give him a chance?" Natasha asked as she took a long drink of her margarita, her eyes on the obviously upset girl in front of her.
"You guys don't get it. Vision. . .He doesn't need someone like me slowing him down," Wanda whispered making both Natasha and Pepper look at her confused. They went to question her, but before they could, Y/N came running up to them with a look of distress on her face as she tried to hold back her tears.
"Where's Alex?" Y/N asked in a panic. "I-I think she went down to the beach," Pepper told her as the three girls looked at their friend who looked as if she were about to have a panic attack. "What's up?" Natasha asked as she gave her friend a concerned look.
Y/N looked between the three and for a second, she swore she saw Steve, Tony, and Bucky standing before her once again before they were replaced with the worried faces of her best friends. "Y/N? Honey, what's wrong?" Wanda asked hesitantly as she went to put a hand on the girl's shoulder.
Y/N wasn't able to hold it back anymore and tears began to fill her eyes. "I. . .I-" Y/N shook her head before quickly turning and running away.
Natasha, Pepper, and Wanda shared a glance before quickly running after the girl, Natasha making sure to grab her drink before she did. They followed Y/N to the bathroom where they caught a glimpse of her running into a stall before the click of the lock could be heard.
By the time they were in the bathroom, they could hear Y/N crying softly to herself from the other side of the stall. The three girls looked at each other with wide eyes before walking over to the stall door.
"Y/N?" Wanda said, but they only got a small whimper in response. This was frightening to them seeing as they hadn't seen Y/N cry in a very long time at least not out in the open like she just had.
Natasha nervously bit her lip before both her and Wanda looked to Pepper. "What do we do?" Natasha whispered to the girl. Pepper just put a hand on her shoulder to hush her before gently knocking on the stall door.
"Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong," Pepper sang. There was a long silence and the blonde glanced over at Natasha and Wanda before giving them a look. Natasha's eyes widened and she nodded slightly before singing, "I have never seen such sorrow." "In your eyes and the wedding is tomorrow," Wanda added.
Y/N didn't respond, only crying a little harder from the other side of the door. The three friends looked at each other sadly before placing their stuff down. Wanda quickly went into the stall next to Y/N before stepping up and onto the toilet seat, making sure she was steady before looking over the side. While she did this, Natasha took off her heels and stood on Pepper's back so that she could look over the stall door while Pepper looked from underneath.
"How I hate to see you like-" Natasha trailed off when Y/N looked up to her with a tear stained face and red eyes. Natasha winced before whispering, "-this."
Pepper frowned and moved slightly so that Natasha stumbled. The red head threw her a glare, but Pepper ignored it and looked to Y/N sadly, "There is no way you can deny it." "I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet," Wanda sang.
Y/N shook her head and stood up from the toilet before going to push the door open. Natasha and Pepper's eyes widened and they quickly got out of the way while the h/c girl threw the stall door open. Wanda frowned and carefully got down from the toilet before walking out of the stall in time to see Y/N slam the bathroom door shut so that no one else could see them.
Y/N then kept her hand on the door before leaning her forehead against the wood, her shoulders shaking slightly as she tried to compose herself. Wanda, Pepper, and Natasha looked to each other before walking over to their friend. Wanda gently placed a hand on her shoulder while Natasha brushed the girl's hair out of the way and Pepper pulled her away from the door.
"Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend
I'm the one you must rely on."
Y/N's crying started to stop and she looked up at her best friends. They gave her sad smiles before all hugging her. She leaned into their embrace, her tears disappearing as she did.
"You were always sure of yourself
Now I see
You've broken a feather
I hope
We can patch it up together."
The three friends pulled away from Y/N. The girl gave them a confused look but they merely smiled before bringing her over to the sink and helping her sit atop the counter.
"Chiquitita
You and I know
How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars they're leavin'."
Pepper reached into her bag and began to hand Natasha tissues so that the red head could wipe away the girl's tears. As they did this, Wanda gently took Y/N's hair and began to pull it away from her face before putting her hair into a ponytail.
"You'll be dancin' once again
And the pain will end
You will have no time for grievin'."
Wanda sprayed some mouth spray into the girl's mouth and Y/N made a face as the mint suddenly hit her taste buds. Pepper held up a bottle of Aspirin and went to hand the girl a pill, but Natasha took it and stared at it for a second before throwing it into her mouth and swallowing it herself. Y/N made a face, but Natasha only smiled with a shrug that made Y/N laugh softly.
"Chiquitita
You and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky
And shining above you."
Pepper handed a bottle of perfume to Natasha who quickly sprayed some on herself before spraying some on Y/N. Y/N then felt something being placed in her hair and she looked up to see Wanda putting a small pink flower right above her ear.
"Let me hear you sing once more
Like you did before
Sing a new song
Chiquitita."
The three girls smiled slightly at their handiwork and the fact that they had not only made Y/N stop crying, but she know looked as if she hadn't been crying at all. Natasha looked at the girl for a moment before snapping her fingers and going to grab her margarita. The red head then held it up to the girl's lips and forced her to drink some.
Y/N quickly took the drink and pulled it away from her face as a small laugh escaped her lips. She really did have the best friends in the world.
Pepper, Natasha, and Wanda all stared at her expectantly and she let out a small sigh and smiled softly at her friends before singing, "Try once more like I did before. Sing a new song, Chiquitita."
"It's her dad."
