[about-faces]

Her world is ending, the entire universe being wiped out by cosmic forces beyond her understanding. But Gilda Kent of Earth-Two isn’t going down without a fight, not after all she’s seen. After all, she saved both Bruce and Harvey’s lives once before, decades ago. She still has the bullet scar to prove it.

Now she’s going to make a last, desperate play that will either save herself and her dying husband–Harvey Kent, once known as Two-Face–or damn them forever.

I fear that I am that person that no one likes who gets asked their favourite songs and answers with a bunch of random demos or live performances and not just a normal recorded single

🧣 james potter, or poly!marauders, whatever you prefer really + “can’t believe it took a near-death experience for you to let me hug you" with reader who doesn't really enjoy physical touch... and maybe they aren't really lovers YET. btw, i love your account! 💞

thank you for the request, and the love! 🥰🫶 here’s your scarf lovely🧣

hailstorm | j.p.

— “Can’t believe it took a near-death experience for you to let me hug you.”

james potter x reader

summary: you’re on a roadtrip with your friends when a hailstorm strikes, and james protects you

tw: fluff, reader who doesn’t really like physical touch at first, there’s a lot of a grumpy x sunshine trope going on here, since you said james or poly!marauders i decided to include the marauders + lily (platonic) for fun haha

“Potter! Get your filthy hands off me.”

“Okay, jeez,” James chuckles, sliding his arm off your shoulder. You shoot him with a glare you hoped conveyed every bit of your distaste.

“Yeah, Potter, get your hands off — ow!” Sirius snickers and flinches away when you reach forward to smack him. Remus sighs exasperatedly from across the console, fingers idly drumming on the steering wheel.

Lily gives James a look from beside you. “Leave her be, James. And you —“ she turns towards Sirius in the front seat, “shut up and let your boyfriend drive.”

You shrink into yourself, wondering which part of you was sane when you made the decision to go on a road trip with these maniacs. That too, in the middle of winter.

The snowy mountaintops did make for a pretty view, though. The white flakes continued to fall around you, and you were sure you could catch them in the palm of your hand if you were to slide the windows down. The only problem was that you were seated in between James and Lily — no windows in reach.

“ — but the map is telling us to go left!”

“You’re looking at it upside down.”

“Am not!”

“Just —“ Remus exhales, rubbing his forehead. “There’s a reason why I’m driving, James. Just trust me.”

James opens his mouth to argue but decides against it. He crosses his arms and sits back like a pouty baby, muttering something that sounded suspiciously like there’s also a reason why you’ve been driving for hours under his breath.

Sirius giggles at the comment, but no one else does. Most of you are in a sour mood considering how right James actually was — you’d been stuck in traffic and heavy snow for almost the entire day. On another note, you were just always in a sour mood.

There’s a terse silence that falls over the car. It’s broken by the sound of radio static, Sirius fiddling with some console buttons up front. A few shrill sounds pass before music starts to play.

There’s a starman waiting in the sky…

At first, the only voice that could be heard was that of the long-haired dramatic. But you could see him lean over to press a kiss to Remus’ cheek, who immediately softened. His gentle humming slowly grew louder.

Soon enough, you were the only one not singing along. James was boisterously loud from beside you, almost annoyingly so. His arm brushed against yours way too many times as he grooved.

You open your mouth to say something rude but he beats you to it.

“Come on, Y/n,” James almost shouts to be heard over the din. He’s grinning like a fool as he bumps your hip obnoxiously. “You’re not gonna sing?”

“No.”

“But —“

“No.”

He sighs, shaking his head. “What a wet blanket. You know, if you were just a little less grumpy —“

“Guys.” Remus’ soft humming is replaced by a panicked voice, breathless.

James ignores him. “— and smiled a bit more, you’d look a lot lovelier —“

“Guys!” Remus raises his voice, and the finality in his tone shuts everyone up. “There’s a hailstorm coming our way.”

You divert your attention to the windshield, eyes widening at the sight. There’s hailstones hurling downwards, closer and closer to the car. You feel anxiety start to thrum in your veins.

No one objects as Remus takes the reins. “Here’s what we’re gonna do,” he says calmly, cutting across lanes. The traffic gets crazier by the second, everyone scrambling to get to safety. “This is a highway; there’s nowhere to hide. But I’m gonna stop near that creek over there, so hopefully, it shields us from the worst of it.”

You all nod along helplessly. Lily’s biting down on her fingernails, knee jerking up and down. Sirius looks close to tears. James is frowning, staring straight ahead like he’s lost in thought.

“We may still get hit as the storm passes over us, though,” Remus emphasies as he pulls the car to a stop. “Brace yourselv —“

He’s cut short by said hailstorm. There’s collective sounds of panic as a loud thud sounds, the ceiling of the car bending downwards in a pathetic dent. You think maybe your heart stopped beating, and your limbs are paralysed in place.

You feel strong arms pulling you close as another stone hits the place where your head had been seconds ago. James. There’s nothing you can do but to scramble closer, letting him protect you with his arms around you and head on top of yours.

You stay there for what feels like forever. His breath tickles the top of your head, his musky scent all too enveloping. It’s hard to make out over the loud, crashing noises. But you think maybe he murmurs it’s okay more than a few times.

The storm passes over the car as quickly as it came. Remus peers out the window multiple times before telling everyone that it’s over, before he lets go of Sirius to press a kiss to his lips. Not you, though.

Relief seeps through you. But you hold on to James, face still buried in his chest as you cling impossibly tighter. You don’t know why; maybe it’s the lingering fear, or maybe it’s to show him how thankful you are.

He seems to realise your need for comfort, rubbing his hand up and down your spine. “You good?”

You make a noise of assent.

“Okay, good. I can’t believe it took a near-death experience for you to let me hug you,” he huffs out quietly. Your heart does a flip, and you’re glad he can’t see the smile on your face.

A little while later, the lot of you continue on your journey. This time, you let James loop his arm round your shoulder.

HE WAS THE NICEST GUY OH MY GOD

He sketched my tattoo out on a card and signed it so I can have my tattoo artist add it. He signed the print I got from him for free. He took a picture with me and gave me chocolate toffee. After the picture he hugged me and thanked me for the support and he called me sweetheart and I sobbed

Pay the Price

In which Steve needs Eddie’s help stopping the boys’ asshole behavior towards Lucas. He didn’t think he’d get anything more than a tentative alliance out of this, but best laid plans and all.

Part 1

“Eddie Munson,” Steve starts. “Heard you’re the man to talk to about teaching someone a lesson.”

A pause. “Uh,” Eddie says, “I mean, I don’t really do anything physical? But I won’t tell either, man, to each their own, I guess, unless you mean withholding weed, because that I can do. Depending on the lesson being taught.”

Steve chuckles. “No, nothing physical, and no weed withholding, either. Or at least, there shouldn’t be, considering they’re kids.”

Eddie sighs. “Okay, I get it. Prank call, right? Ha-ha, very funny, wanna get your laughs out now before I end the call?”

“Not a prank call,” Steve says evenly. “‘S about the kids I babysit. They’re in Hellfire. Mike’s being a little shit to Lucas.” A pause, “Dustin too, kinda, but Mike’s definitely the ringleader, y’know?”

“What the actual fuck,” Eddie says slowly, “is happening?”

Steve chuckles. “Like I said. The kids’re being shits to Lucas and I need your help curbing their behavior.”

“Who the fuck are you, man?”

Steve chuckles again. “Tell you what, ‘cause I doubt you’re gonna believe me unless you see me. You busy for the next hour or so?”

“You’ve piqued my interest. I’ll bite. No, I’m not busy.”

“Y’know Loch Nora?”

“Doesn’t everybody?”

“Last house on the right. Twenty minutes. See you then, Munson.”

Steve puts the phone back on the receiver and breathes out a sigh as he grins. This is gonna be fun.

Starman - Chapter One

Pairing: Sirius Black x Potter!reader

Summary: after feeling overshadowed by your twin brother, your best friend persuades you to get more involved with school activities. You weren't counting on falling for Sirius Black.

Warnings: lil bit of angst, fluff, swearing

A/N: Hope you guys enjoy this, please let me know what you think and if you would like to be tagged! xxx

Chapter One

The sound of laughter drifted up from the garden and through your bedroom window, the sound was not unexpected but it still caused you to jump and upset half a bottle of ink over your nearly finished homework. You uttered a curse beneath your breath as you tried to mop it up before padding over to the window.

Peter, Sirius and Remus were out there, getting ready to play Quidditch. There was no sign of your arsehole brother. You wondered where he was until he spoke up from the doorway.

“Not coming out?”

You glanced up at him, he was leaning against the doorframe with an eyebrow raised and round glasses perched on the end of his nose. You shook your head, “got homework to do,” you mumbled.

James let out a scoff, “we’re barely two weeks into summer, Y/N,” when you said nothing he sighed, “I know you’re mad.”

“I’m not mad.”

He shook his head, running a hand through his hair, “maybe I’ll see you when Lily comes over.”

You don’t know what possessed you to speak out, maybe it was better that it came out now, when you were alone, “why do you get to have her too? The one thing that was just mine,” you said to his retreating back, “isn’t being the golden boy of Gryffindor enough for you?”

Your brother sighed as he glanced over his shoulder at you, “I knew you were mad.”

“I’m not,” you lied.

About thirty minutes later, Lily came into your room, “you might have been able to fool James but you can’t fool me. You’re mad and you have every right to be, I’m sorry we didn’t tell you,” she took your hands in her warm ones, making you look up at her, she was like liquid sunshine, “we just wanted to be sure it was real before telling anyone.”

That was fair enough, “what happened to the Lily who thought he was a prick?” you whined.

“Oh trust me, I still think he’s a prick but he’s grown on me,” she laughed “I can call things off you know.”

You were touched that she’d do that for you but you shook your head, “you look happy.”

“I am,” she shrugged with a warm smile. You must have still looked put out because she spoke up again, “James is never going to come between us. He might be my boyfriend, but you’re my soulmate.”

When you nodded, she pulled you into a hug. Out of every girl in Hogwarts, you were glad James was dating your best friend.

“C’mon, let’s go outside.”

When you walked into the kitchen your mum was pouring out some iced pumpkin juice for everyone and James was waiting to take it outside. She glanced up at you when you walked into the kitchen.

“Thought you were going to be shut up there all summer.”

You scoffed and looked up at James who was watching you nervously, but before he could say anything you walked over and wrapped your arms around his middle, pulling him into a hug, “I’m sorry,” your voice was slightly muffled against his chest but you felt him kiss the top of your head.

“Me too.”

When you walked outside, Sirius whooped at the top of his lungs, “hey, little Potter!”

You rolled your eyes, that had been the nickname from day one, “you know that James is only ten minutes older than me, right?” you called up to him.

He laughed from where he sat on his broomstick, giving you one of his charming smiles, “yeah but you’re still so tiny!”

You shook your head with a laugh as you waved up at Remus and Peter. They always had poor Peter in goal. You and Lily sat on the warm grass, sipping your iced pumpkin juice as you watched the boys play Quidditch. Lily kept on glancing at you as if wanting to say something but thinking better of it.

On the third time, you decided to confront her, “what’s up?”

She flushed, digging the straw into the drink before looking back at you, “I was thinking, well, don’t you think that you might like it if you got more involved with school activities this year?”

“Yeah? Like what?”

She shrugged, “you could come to Slug horn’s parties with me.”

You made a face, “yeah, watching a fully grown man fawn over you is not my idea of a good time,” you heard a buzzing around your head and presumed it was a fly or a fairy. However, when you went to bat it away, your fingers closed around cold metal. The boys erupted into cheers as you held the struggling ball between your fingers.

“Okay ma’am, maybe you should join the Quidditch team.”

You scoffed as you handed James the snitch, “Quidditch is James’ thing. I’m sure he doesn’t need me jumping on the bandwagon.”

“Nah, I’d love it if you took more of an interest in Quidditch,” James flung an arm over your shoulders.

Lily suddenly gasped, her green eyes glittering, “you could be a cheerleader with me! I’ve even brought you an outfit you can try on!” it was clear that she had been planning this, she was the head cheerleader.

“What?” you yelped, “absolutely not.”

“Aw come on!” she whined, “Sirius, wouldn’t Y/N make a great cheerleader?”

The boy smirked as he leaned over you to get his drink – he could have just walked round – “absolutely, those legs in a short little skirt?” his eyes teasingly roamed over you. If it was anyone else you would have felt uncomfortable but you knew Sirius was just messing with you, “killer,” he winked, making you push at his shoulder.

James glared at him but didn’t say anything.

After dinner, your parents went for a nightcap at the pub, your mum had let the boys smoke in the garden as long as you didn’t throw any parties. You were sitting with Sirius and Remus when everyone’s social batteries had drained, you and Sirius were passing a flask of Firewhisky back and forth and you watched the fairy land on his shoulder.

“You should do that whole cheerleading thing y’know.”

“Why because you want to see my legs in a short skirt?” you teased.

He laughed, running a hand through his hair, “no, because I think you’ll actually have fun.”

“Fun?”

“Yeah, you do remember what that is don’t you?” he nudged his shoulder against yours, making you laugh.

“Prick.”

“I know you’re not bothered but it would make you more popular than you already are.”

You let out a snort, “I’m not popular now.”

Without looking up from his book, Remus replied, “you got four Valentines last year, you got one from a person in each house and didn’t loads of people ask you to the ball in fourth year.”

“Ah yes, I’ve entered a parallel universe were three means ‘loads,’” Remus smirked at your reply but said nothing further.

You sighed, biting your lip as you considered it, “if I do it, you won’t laugh at me right?” you asked as you took a swig from Sirius’ flask.

“Y/N, I would never laugh at you.”

You nod, you’d try the costume on for now but that was it. You got off your chair and went to find Lily. When you told her you would at least try the outfit on she squealed and dragged you upstairs to help you put it on, she even tied a Gryffindor ribbon in your hair.

She squeezed your hands, “I’ll see you downstairs, and you can show the boys.”

You sighed as you looked at yourself in the mirror, trying to pull the skirt down, only to have it ping back up. When you were ready you left your room, bumping into Sirius on the way.

He grabbed your arm to steady you and you didn’t miss the way his grey eyes roamed up the length of your body before resting on your face. He looked right into your eyes, like he was scared to look away, “you look great,” he flushed.

You suddenly felt underdressed as you pulled the tank top down, if you were going to be cheerleading in front of the whole school you would have to get used to people looking at you.

“Thanks.”

It seemed like Sirius was in a trance as he stared at you, jumping out of his skin when Lily called you from downstairs. He put his head down as he brushed past you, slamming the door to the bathroom shut.

oh shoot bro.. I’ve honestly never had one. If I had to choose only one I think it would be Starman by David Bowie. It truly changed my life way more than I could ever realize. That song got me into David Bowie, which got me into classic rock, which got me into actually good music, which made me who I am. as for favorite album… maybe American idiot? I’m not too sure really

The sight of two stars

Aaravos x Startouched elf! Reader

(art from Pinterest if you know the original artist let me know so I can give proper credit!!)

REQUESTS ARE OPEN

{Fluff}

warning: none

I had this idea for a while about Aaravos with a reader who likes to find constellations on his skin and I started this oneshot expecting it to take a completely different path but I love how it turned out and I'm low key proud with the idea. The execution is not my best work but we have fun here!😂. Anywho, I hope y'all enjoy! I hope this will be able to hold you over for a few more days as I have 3 more one shots/images in the making that should come out shortly! Anyway, it's almost 3 am and I have to drive for 5 hours back home tomorrow 😭.

(ps:I had to make up a constellation for this that sounded more magical so I did! But all the other constellations are either from the show or a real constellation!)

Don't forget you can leave a request! I will link my master list here make sure you read before requesting! Love you all my little goblins 🖤

I have always loved the night sky And everything that belongs to it. I've especially always been drawn to constellations. The way the stars are set just perfectly to make a work of art when in reality they are so far from one another that they are not aware that their portrait is beautiful in a way.

It's been so long since I was able to gaze upon them. Being imprisoned for centuries with no windows or fresh air is a burden in itself, But losing my Night sky, it almost felt like I had lost myself. Well, I didn't lose all of myself. My lovely husband keeps me Sane (When he's not driving me Insane).

He's the reason I’m here in the first place. What is it with dragons anyway, It was just a couple of war crimes and whatnot, And I wasn't even involved. With the crimes that is. yes, I may have given my lovely starman some ideas every once in a while, But I never got my hands dirty. I was just a performer, Singing and dancing in town squares, Taverns, inns you name it. But alas here we are. Here I am. Stuck in this hell, with no sky, just that Damned mirror. I hate that mirror, Well I hate being in range of that mirror. To know someone could be watching me from the other side unnerves me and I avoid it at all cost.

I hear the door open to the room I have placed myself in, another room in this prison. It's a little library with books on all sorts of things. it's my favorite spot in this wretched place. My little slice of heaven.

I glance up from my book watching Aaravos enter the room with that cloak on, I can’t help but love the way he looks in it, and with the way I look at him, I’m worse than any man.

“My love, Why do you gaze at me in such a way? I can feel your eyes from here” He teases, taking his cloak off and hanging in on a small hook by the tall doors before looking over at me with that Smirk he gives. I love this elf but by the Divines why must he do this?

I shake my head with a chuckle, placing my bookmark in the spot I left off before closing my book. Setting it down gently on the table beside the little sofa I've curled up on. “ Am I not allowed to admire you?.’ I jokingly ask with a small grin as I allow him to take a seat beside me.“So how was your dramatic entrance? Did that Dark mage see you this time like you wanted?” I ask turning to face him resting my arm on the back of the sofa and using my hand to prop up my head.

“Everything went according to plan. His candle went out. I went in, confused him, and left. Just as Intended.” He tells me with a cocky smile.

“Now everything should fall into place, he’s a curious desperate, power-hungry human. That is just the combination we are looking for if we wish to get out of here.” I say with some excitement,

“but my love do not get cocky yet because if one little piece is lost, broken, or forgotten, we will be stuck here. And If we are stuck in here for another century I will skin you alive.” I warn with a stern expression before I chuckle a bit.

He laughs a bit “ No you wouldn’t, 'cause then you would be all alone in this place and we both know you couldn't take that.” He says pulling me closer to his side.

“What are you talking about? Some peace and quiet would be lovely. Maybe then I could finish my book.” I joke as I adjust to get a bit more comfortable. “Ah yes, what book are you reading currently again? It was something to do with the differences between human interpretations of constellations and Elven interpretations correct?” he asks genuinely curious about my interest,

He remembers my love of the night like no other, for he loved it as well. but now it's hard to remember what it's like. Of course, there are illustrations in the books but those illustrations can only capture so much, yes some books do better than others but the true beauty of the night sky can only truly be appreciated in person. Well, maybe something can come close.

“Yes that's right, and honestly humans need to get a bit more creative. I mean they Named Garlath the Annihilator the Big Spoon… Because they thought it looked like a spoon." I say with sarcasm as I roll my eyes. “ and also they call Leolas' last wish the South Star. Talk about imagination.'' I speak with disappointment. Aaravos just simply chuckles “Those names the humans gave them came to be long before this generation, they are simple and easy for their minds to comprehend but I do agree they were quite lazy.” he says in agreement.

I think he gives them too much credit. but what can I say I lost patience with humans during my time performing. Aaravos on the other hand has plenty, but then again he was more respected by them due to the whole giving them magic ordeal which I understand but still, humans are like an annoying younger sibling. you love them and would do what you could to protect them from others, but you would definitely rip their vocal cord out and strangle them with it as soon as they call you ugly.

I sigh “Perhaps I'm a bit harsh on them sometimes, but I can't help it. I feel like I'm losing my mind here, I'm not even sure how much time has passed anymore.” I explain as I absentmindedly trace little patterns on his freckled arm that rests around my waist, as I'm doing this a particularly bright star freckle brings my mind back into focus and I notice something. “Wait a moment…” I say suddenly as Aaravos gives me a confused look “What is it?” he asks simply before I place my thumb over the spot on his arm to not lose it reaching over I grab my book and open it to a certain page leaving him to his confusion as i scan the books page.

“Aha! I thought that looked familiar, darling." I say lifting my thumb off the spot on his arm and placing the book's page next to it. The page has an illustration of a constellation on it, and it just so happens that the little star freckles on his arm connect to make the same one. “Hm well isn't that interesting? I had not noticed that none yet ” he says, grabbing the book from my hand to examine it.

“ Well it says that it's called the eye of Izora, it has 8 stars on top making the upper eyelid, and 5 stars that make up the bottom. The iris is made up of 4 stars in between with the pupil being a completely different constellation (Leola’s last wish). The eye has 7 stars above it making it appear as though the eye has three separate eyelashes with another 7 on the bottom doing the same. In the human kingdoms, it's not known” he reads with a hint of interest. He looks between the book and the spot on his wrist where I found the constellation.

“ isn't that interesting? Oh, I just love finding new ones they are harder to find on you than they are on me for some reason.." I tell you with a grin, snatching the book back. I search through the pages as I scan the rest of his arm looking for more connections. this is one of my favorite things to do, I've found plenty of constellations on myself but with Aaravos they are harder to find because he has a lot more stars on him then I do and they make it harder to connect them,

Minutes pass before I find another new one… It was right in front of us but my eyes couldn't make it out right away. “I see one right there but I can't make out what that one is, It's definitely something though. Can you tell what it is?” I ask Aaravos looks at it for a moment, tilting his head to the side a bit trying to get another angle to look at it but failing.

he seems to think for a moment before he grabs a quill out of the inkpot that sits on the end table next to the sofa, he places the tip of the quill on his skin tracing in between the stars on his arm. As I look through the book I hear him hum “It looks like a scorpion look it up in the book I think we finally found it.” he says, showing me the connected lines.

“I think you're right.” I say glancing at his armbefore turning to the next page and seeing the scorpion-like constellation, it matches the one on his arm and I grin “We found it, I knew it was around here somewhere, we all have our star sign on us, yours just was hiding all these years.” I laugh and he does too “I found it once before I believe but I lost it and didn't find it again until now.” he says holding it up

“ well maybe once we get out of here you should get it tattooed so you don't lose where it is again.” I joke And Aaravos laughs a bit “My love you know I would never do that, it's not my style, besides I am already vastly decorated anyways.’ he says in a kind of sassy tone. As we both laugh some more

As the day? Night? Carried on We both continued our search for more constellations on his skin. It wasn't long before we had mapped out at least a dozen from his wrist to his shoulder connecting the stars with thin lines of writing ink that was smudging in some places but neither of us cared because this was one of the few moments where neither of us are frantically searching or planning. It was just us, then again it's always just us, but moments like this bring us back to reality when we didn't even realize we were drifting away from ourselves, and each other. I know we are gonna make it out of this prison one day, and once we do I know it's going to be just the two of us against all of Xadia. But that's ok I know we will be able to take care of it. And at least I'll have my night sky back.
