PEOPLE YOU KNOW - ii.

part 1

yall...i'm sorry about the length of this <3

It had been fifteen months. Fifteen months since she’d last seen him. Fifteen months since she gave up. Fifteen months since she finally chose herself.

If you were to ask Amiria when the horrible painful part of their relationship started, she could definitely say a year and a half into it.

She started noticing the slight increase in jealousy and possessiveness when she started booking more roles and traveled more. From Vancouver to London, a whole year where she wasn’t in the same place for long periods of time. Meeting new people, becoming close with many too.

Jack must’ve snapped because next thing she knew… she’d see clips of him dancing with other women on Instagram. She’d always confront him but eventually the apologies and promises became meaningless.

From FaceTimes of I love yous’, laughs and tales to FaceTimes that ended in tears, heartbreak and manipulation.

Amiria used to think that one day things would get better but overtime that became harder to believe. Somehow she found herself booking last minute flights to see his shows, spend a night with him and she’d return to work feeling more emotionally drained than before, all because he put the idea into her head that it was her fault that they were constantly arguing. So she tried her best to make it up to him.

Meanwhile it was never her fault. It was always his.

Time after time she’d risk her job and career for a man that would never put any effort into coming to her, times where Neelam, Urban, Clay, Sunni hell even Druski would come visit her on set. To see her in her prime. Not even when they were in the same city, he’d never come.

If there was one thing that Amiria Campbell hated about herself would definitely be how much hope she always had, how kind and thoughtful she was. Those were things that prevented her from seeing that this relationship was a losing game.

When they first met it was amazing, picnic dates every week, movie nights every month, wonderful memories filling the years.

It was honestly embarrassing that she had any more hope when she woke up the morning after and went to set. Found herself throwing up during her lunch break. Thinking that Jack would finally change due to the idea of a baby in the near future.

But she was proven wrong again.

While it was a spontaneous decision she left and hasn’t looked back since.

Did it take a while to get over him?

Yes?

Is she still hurting?

Also yes.

At times if she thinks about it too much she may find herself tearing up randomly but mostly the thing that triggered it the most would unfortunately but not surprisingly, her daughter.

Ani Maiah Margaret Campbell was absolutely perfect. She had the tint of Māori in her skin while bearing her fathers piercing blue eyes. With a mop of curls, courtesy of her father that were as brown as her mothers locks. The most perfect tiny hands and most adorable laugh.

She was the perfect creation of her and Jack. Whether she was planned or not. She was the Pandora’s box to all of her mothers good and bad memories of him.

But for the sake of her future and her daughters’ she had to erase the man from her heart and mind. Piece by piece. Bit by bit. She’d heal over time and rise like a phoenix from the ashes stronger than ever.

Every film and tv series she’d filmed over the past few years had been absolutely worth it.

So now a day had come. One of many. Amiria was honestly finding it very hard to sleep because of all the excitement for the premiere in a couple hours. While her mother and 6 month old daughter we’re having no trouble at all.

The three had flown to New York City a week prior for the premiere of Stranger Things Season 4.

Aroha Campbell had only heard her daughters rambles about being absolutely thrilled for everyone to see what they’d been working on for the past three years or her granddaughter trying to speak which often resulted in a bunch of random babbles and noises.

After spending a few weeks in Bunbury, Amiria returned to Atlanta accompanied by her mother who insisted on moving in with her for sometime. Aroha and Stephen knew thier would push everything… including her career aside to take care of her baby. They also knew how long and how hard she had to work to get to where she was and that if she took this long break it would be even harder to go further.

That’s how it’s been since April the previous year and Amiria couldn’t be more grateful for her parents. Ani was the most easy going baby and it was absolutely perfect, especially after everything Ami had gone through.

So now the three are in a hotel room in New York City. Her co stars in neighbouring rooms waiting for their stylists to arrive and prepare them for the red carpet.

Amiria slowly pulls her fingers out of her baby’s tiny hand and gets out of bed. After freshening up she quickly gives her daughter a bath and dresses her up.

Just as she gets a bottle of milk out of the mini fridge she hears a knock at the door.

“Morning Mrs Campbell.” Amiria hears the sound of her best friend greet her mother. “Good morning to the hottest most amazing single mom I know.” Camila adds on as she gets closer to the mother and daughter.

The moment Ani recognises the familiar face, her arms stretch up in efforts to reach her. “Good morning princess.” Camila coos as she tickles the babies stomach.

Ani let’s out a symphony of giggles that make the three women smile. Camila hands the ice coffee and chocolate croissant to her friend.

“You are a goddess.” Amiria praises her as she takes a sip of the cold drink.

“How did the princess sleep?”

“She was quiet.”

“As usual.” Camila mentions making Amiria snicker as she straps on her babies dipper.

“Thank you for going easy on your mother. She’s had a lot of sh-“ Amiria send her a look towards the end. “Stuff to deal with over the past year.”

“Nice save.” Amiria teases as she puts on the pink one piece onto Ani.

“But seriously I’m happy that she isn’t a lot to deal with. Not like he who shall not be named.” Camila rambles while Amiria makes funny faces to stop Ani from squirming.

After months of not seeing him. Hearing Camila ramble about her hatred for him was honestly one of the most entertaining things she had done. It honestly just made Amiria laugh.

“I haven’t seen or spoken to him in over a year so he really shouldn’t matter anymore”

“Except he does. He’s still Ani’s father and one day she will ask questions about him. I mean you still talk to his mom, dad, Clay. I’m just surprised you didn’t run into him at the met gala a few weeks ago.”

“I know but I’m just avoiding the inevitable.”

“Which is?” Camila says wanting to hear Amiria admit it.

“Someday I’ll have to see him again.” She responds as she gently brushes her daughters hair.

“Which might been sooner than you think.” The moment the words left her mouth Amira paused. “Me knowing you, you’re going to invite the Harlow’s and if they come he surely will.”

Amiria had taken a low of time planning everything to the point where she knew that he wouldn’t be in Atlanta during that time.

“He won’t be in Atlanta or anywhere close to my house in a week Cam.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“He’s never given a shit about my family’s traditions. His family always mattered more, no matter the occasion or the holiday.” Amira assures her best friend. “Besides he has a couple shows in New York and LA.”

“Wait doesn’t that mean he’s in the same city as us-“ Camila starts before the two hear the door close and Aroha Campbell stands in the door frame with the bottle of milk in her hands.

As Campbell women spend a few minutes talking while Camilla plays with her Goddaughter, Amiria returns with the bottle. She takes her baby into her arms and the child begins to suck on the bottle.

“If I run into him, I’ll deal with it.” The words that come out of Amiria’s mouth catch Camila off guard.

Mainly because she’d gotten used to her best friend avoiding him at all possible moments. She was even shocked that she didn’t run into him at the Met Gala considering it wasn’t hard not to. Knowing Ami she probably ducked and dived, took the iconic mirror selfie and left with her head held high.

“I can take care of him if you need me to. I just need to yell at him in Portuguese and he will run away.” Camila offers as Ani continues to gently drink her milk. The baby’s eyes are closed and her mother watches her daughter with a look on none other than complete adoration.

“I can’t hide from him forever so I might as well acknowledge the fact that I will see him again one day. I’m still friends with Neelam and Urban, Druski and the rest of PG. So when I do I’ll deal with it then and make sure he stays the away from me and my family.”

As Amiria finishes her sentence, her daughter finishes the bottle. “We don’t need him, we’ll be okay taku iti. I’ll always protect you”

***

After many hours of getting ready ( outfit without the necklace and earrings) and putting Ani to sleep so she wouldn’t cry when she realized it was only her grandmother and her in the hotel room for the next several hours, Amiria finally hit the red carpet.

With her signature blinding smile she poses for every photographer in her presence. Then she does a few interviews and after a few minutes of autographs, meeting fans and hugging her co-stars she reaches her last interview.

“Amiria Campbell looking stunning as ever.” The interviewer greets the actress with a smile who does a little twirl. “Really sets the tone for this season? You've got to describe it for us.”

“All I can say is questions will be answered but more questions will be created too.”

“Does this apply to Manny too?”

Amiria purses her lips as she tries to think of an answer that doesn’t include spoilers. “In a way it does but you’ll just have to wait to find out.”

“Can’t wait but this is a big year for you. You’re set to star along side Tom Cruise and Miles Teller in Top Gun: Maverick which is a sequel to its iconic predecessor from the 80s, Yellowjackets was renewed for season 2, you wrote and are staring in a show for the MCU and you had a daughter only a couple months ago. You are doing it all.” The interviewer rambles making Amiria let out a laugh.

“It was a lot I’m not going to lie but I’ve had my family by my side through it all.”

“Will we ever find out who the clearly wonderful father of you beautiful daughter is?” For a split second the smile on her face faltered while a clear sudden look of despair fills her eyes but she quickly brightens them both up and continues.

“Give it like a decade so I can really surprise everyone. That’s the goal.” She ends off her little tease with a nod that she hopes is convincing.

She couldn’t let people ever find out. Not only did she feel embarrassed but she wanted to keep Jack Harlow and her family name away for as long as she possibly could.

“He must be very proud of you. He must be cheering you on from home” Her smile falters again but she picks it up again.

“He is.”

No he isn’t and he never would.

“Have a good night Amiria. We’re rooting for a happy Manaia Thompson this season.” The interviewer says as Amiria walks away.

***

Hours later, the episode had ended and the cast and crew were at the after party. Amiria had just come back from making a tiktok with Noah, Caleb and their sisters when she decided to go outside for a breather.

The night had been magical to say the least but Millie, Joseph along with the rest of her cast mates had noticed something was off.

Camila and Joseph were looking for her when the former found her in the parking lot sitting on the bench.

She slowly approaches her best friend, Camila frowns when she hears the familiar sniffs as she gets closer.

The moment Camila sat down beside her Amiria quickly wiped away the tears.

“Oh honey.” The Brazilian says as she pulls her into a side hug.

“I hate that I have to tell Ani one day that her father didn’t give a shit about her.” That sentence alone makes Camila tense up. “The whole world thinks we’re happy living this suburban parent lifestyle with a white picket fence and all that corny stuff.”

“I know you want that corny stuff honey.”

“I really wanted that. I don’t know what hurts more the fact that I let Jack break my heart so many times or the fact that one day, when my daughter is old enough, her father will break her heart. I don’t want her to end up like me.” Amiria continues to sob making Camila place a gentle kiss on top of her head.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Going from the pride and joy of your whole neighbourhood to not even seeing it for 2 years because you kept going back to the same person who I let walk over me over and over, being treated like crap over and over. Cutting off your closest friends and family because you thought you knew the real him.” Amiria rambles as the many memories flood her brain. Who knew that a single question would cause everything to crumble? “I don’t want Ani to end up like me or Jack. My mom, dad or grandparents are much better candidates in my family tree.”

Camila was shocked to say the least. She takes Amirias face in her hands and wipes the streaks of mascara away with her thumbs. “First of all. Never say that bullshit again. You Amiria Imogen Maiah Campbell are the strongest person I’ve ever known. Ani would be lucky hell she’d be blessed to end up like you. You know why?” Amiria shakes her head as she sniffs gently.

“You fought for love my dear. Not just love but the future you wanted. You’ve grown so much. I remember you rambling to me after we went to that one film festival about how Oncology didn’t feel like your calling anymore how you would like to do something else with your life. I also remember how scared you were to tell your parents the truth but they were proud of you regardless. They still are or else they wouldn’t be flying half way across the world to be with you in a few days. You’re a single mother, you’re booked and busy, a show you wrote, starred and directed is coming out in a few months. The list goes on but babe! Come on, you’ve accomplished so much more than some of our fellow actors have in their 10 years in the industry. I can practically smell your Oscar!”

Amiria laughs as her best friends words materialise into the more brighter memories of the part few years. The ones without Jack. The ones where she would bring her film camera to work and take pictures with her cast mates. The ones where she’d put on her headphones and spend hours on her laptop writing the script she’d only dreamt about as a kid. The ones where she’d be with Urban, Druski or Neelam and she’d just found out she got nominated for her first Emmy and many other awards. The special moment where she first held her daughter despite the traumatic hours before.

All those good memories meant something.

“You are a badass Ames, never forget that. It’s not and it never will be your fault that you lost your fight for love. Jack never has and never will deserve you. He’ll never deserve that large ass heart of yours. If, no when Ani turns out like you, the world will become a thousand times better. I promise you.” Camila adds on making her lips upturn into a sweet smile. “One day you will find that person who will make you feel a hundred times better than that asshole. You’ll have the wedding of your dreams, the honeymoon of your dreams and you two will raise another badass and maybe have a few more. Whatever you chose to do, your future is bright babe. Got it?”

“Got it. Thanks Cam.”

“Always. I love you girl. I’ll always have your back.”

“Love you too.”

“Let’s get you freshened up because I think Noah wants to make more TikTok’s.” The two women stand up, link arms and walk back inside.

Just as they reach the bathroom, Amiria realises she left her phone on the bench and Camila offers to go get it.

She never expects to see him there.

There he stands, holding his exes phone in his hand, staring at the lock screen which is of Amiria and Ani. The mother holds the baby in her arms and the baby girl reaches for the stars with a gumless smile while Amiria shines her signature Peary grin. If Camila wasn’t radiating rage that was hotter than the fiery gates of hell she would've asked herself if she just saw Jackman tear up slightly.

He backs away slowly when he notices she’s there.

“This is a private event Jackman. What the fuck are you doing here.”

“I just want to talk to her.” He pleads.

“Absolutely not. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll stay away.”

“Camila please. I just want to fix things, that’s all I want.”

“You think I give a damn about what you want. It’s always been about you. It’s been over a year and you’re still the same narcissistic asshole.” She pinches the bridge of her nose. “Can’t you for one second stop and maybe consider the fact that maybe she isn’t ready to see you or doesn’t even want to.”

“I have to make things right. I want to be there for her and A-“

“You of all people don’t get to say her name besides why did it take fifteen months for you to come to your senses? Is it because you don’t want the world to one day find out that you’re a fucking dead beat?”

“No, I’ve been trying to reach out for months but she’s blocked me on everything and I don’t blame her.”

“You really have some nerve.” Camila scoffs. “Give me the phone and if you ever truly cared about her, you’ll stay away.” She says as she snatches the red covered phone out of his hands and makes her way back to the door.

“I love her! And I’ll never forgive myself for everything that I did to her while we were together. I just need her to even look at me or say something. I wanna hold or just see my daughter not just a picture of her. We haven’t been apart for this long and it’s driving me insane Camila.”

“You had two out of the three years you two were together to fix yourself. At least now you know how she felt.”

“Camila please, I know she’s having her family tradition thing next week.”

“You never gave a damn about her family’s traditions.”

“I know my parents and Clay are going.”

“But you somehow didn’t make the invite list.” She mentions with sarcasm laced in her voice. “It’s a really important day for her and Ani.”

Vivid memories of Amiria rambling about her favorite traditions come to his mind but they’re all a blur because he never paid any attention.

He knew that if he wanted to get on Amiria’s good side again he’d have to play his cards right.

And her best friend wanting to murder him right now was definitely not the way to do it.

“Just tell her I’m sorry.”

“You can say it to her yourself when she actually wants to see you, until then. Stay away.”

With those last words Camila Mendes marches back through the door. As she gets closer to the main hall where everything was happening she can’t help but let her mind wonder.

She knew that one day Amiria would have to let Jack back into her life. She just hoped that no one would pressure her into it.

Once she’s back in the room where everyone is conversing in meaningless banter she spots Amiria, Gaten, Maya, Noah, Caleb and their sisters filming another Tiktok.

She chuckles as she makes her way to the group of seven.

Amiria notices her best friends pressence behind her and quickly walks towards her.

“What took you so long? You missed our song.”

Camila knew lying to Amiria now would get her no where. “I’ll tell you later.”

“Are you okay?” Amiria asks noticing the change in her friends mood since she saw her ten minutes ago.

“I’m fine Ames, let’s go ask the DJ to play our song again.” With that the two women link arms and walk towards him.

Sooo that was part two

Damn it, that was a lot😭😭

I’ll try make the next part shorter unless y’all don’t mind the long chapters?

Please let me know 🫶🏾

Anywhoo hope you enjoyed

Nothing will stop him now from rescue CAS from the Empty. But a new defiance is looming over TFW2.0. Will Dean be able to use his words this time? Or is gonna be work a big impediment again?

Murder the World | @thisisapaige Rating: Explicit Word Count: 10,160 Main Tags/Warnings: Angst, Canon Divergent after s10e22 The Prisoner, Demon Dean Winchester, Parallels Between Cain/Colette Mullen and Castiel/Dean Winchester, Switch Castiel/Switch Dean Winchester, Violence, Porn With Plot Summary: Castiel said he would be the one to watch Dean murder the world. Now he has a chance to prove it.

Loving you back in time | @verobatto Rating: Explicit Word Count: 15,683 Main Tags/Warnings: Temporary MCD (Castiel, Sam), time travel, top!Dean/bottom!Castiel, falling in love, enemies to lovers, winged Castiel Summary: After locking Chuck and defeats him, Jack comes out with a plan to get Cas and Sam back from death. Dean will travel back in time to try to really stop the Apocalypse from its root, this time Dean will contact Castiel before events, and part of his mission is to try to convince the angel to join him, explaining they're the good guys and angels and Heaven are not, while trying to avoid the urge of kissing his angel. But something won't go as they expected, and Dean will have to change the plan. This is mid season 15 canon divergent fic. The time travel is before Dean going to Hell. I mixed two importants moments, but they're not in the timeline of the season 3, with references to episode 1x12: Faith.

In A Parked Car Exhuming Ophelia | @an-android-in-a-tutu Rating: Mature Word Count: 17,741 Main Tags/Warnings: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Human Castiel (Supernatural), Interrogation, Demons, Grief/Mourning, References To: Homelessness, baby eating, Greek Mythology - Freeform, Heaven Politics, Unsafe Sex, Pregnancy, Temporary Character Death, Dubious Consent, Summary: The bunker didn’t lend itself to much natural light, and the utilitarian fixtures in the concrete hallways tended to sap people of their colour even on a good day. Maybe that was why Dean looked so much worse than Sam remembered, as worn as he’d ever seen him. The hand he pulled away from his face was shaking, just slightly, and he dropped it quickly to disguise the tremor, but the detail had already been seared into Sam’s brain. Something was very wrong. "I need you with me on this." Sam hasn't spoken to his brother in over a month, so when he shows up in the middle of the night with a powerful demon in tow, he's concerned. It doesn't take long for him to realize that Dean is keeping secrets again, and that whatever he has hidden behind his teeth has to do with the strange woman who seems all too content to remain bound in their dungeon. The demon with white eyes. All Sam wants is the truth, to figure out who she is, and how she's connected to his brother. But people who ask questions, tend to get answers. And they just may be more than Sam can take. An alternate take on season 9 that replaces the Mark of Cain plot with something much worse.

Rock & Roll and Feathers | @verobatto Rating: Explicit Word Count: 20,172 Main Tags/Warnings: Season 15, canon divergence, rock stars, case fic, rock star!Dean, bodyguard!Castiel, mutual pining Summary: TFW 2.0 defeated Chuck, locking him down in a magic box and exchanging him with Castiel's deal with the Empty. Everything would be perfect if Jack wasn't locked inside another magic box too. The only way to release Jack, now the New God, is to find the key. Rowena knows who has it. His powerful father, a retired sorcerer, who would give anything to those who win his rock and roll contest. That's why Dean will sign up as a rock star, followed by his manager Sam and his bodyguard Castiel. Bad thing is, maybe winning a rock Contest is not the only test they will have on the road to reach that key.

In case you forgot.” “No Dean, I didn’t forget. But unless you’ve figured out a way to stop it in the next couple of days, I don’t see why you can’t give yourselves a break. This ain’t a sprint, Dean, it’s a marathon. Besides, last year when we realized just how much had hit the fan I seem to recall you being real quick to---” “Vegas.” “Exactly.” “...The Star Trek Experience.” ---------- OR: Dean's back from the future, Sam's back from his break, and Cas is, well, Cas. As good a time as any to finally take that road trip Dean's been dreaming about since he crawled out of the ground and learned the Apocalypse was a real goddamn thing. All he has to do now is remember how to have fun. Fic takes place in lieu of 5x05 "Fallen Idols"; instead of Paris Hilton the boys are off to the Las Vegas Hilton, former home of the greatest place on earth: The Star Trek Experience.

Unsure how to fix the situation, and with Mary and Sam aiding the hunters from the other world on a hunt, Dean and Castiel are left alone at the bunker to care for baby Jack, where more than one revelation will unfold.

Dean Winchester and the Belly Button Piercing | @teeparadigm67 Rating: Explicit Word Count: 34,800 Main Tags/Warnings: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Porn With Plot, Domesticity in the Men of Letters Bunker, Dean Winchester has his Belly Button Pierced (And Sammy Doesn't Know), Castiel/Dean Winchester First Kiss, Castiel/Dean Winchester First Time Having Sex, Openly Bisexual Dean Winchester, Dean Winchester is a Tease, Castiel doesn't understand flirting, Idiots in Love, Top Castiel/Bottom Dean Winchester, Porn with Feelings, Canon-Typical Violence, Piercings, Ear Piercings, Pierced Dean Winchester, Navel piercing, Fluff and Smut, Domestic Fluff, Flirty Dean Winchester Summary: Dean Winchester was 23 when he got his belly button pierced. It was during a time in his life when everything felt like it was in turmoil (long before he even really knew what his life being in turmoil truly meant). He never intended to go out and get any piercings—his father would have never allowed it. For 20-something years it had been his best-kept secret… that was until one fateful night when a hunt went wrong and his best friend had to swoop in and help patch him up, catching an eyeful of his elusive secret. Castiel’s infatuation with his best friend took a dangerous turn that night (not that he wasn’t already treading treacherous waters with his feelings towards the man). He had already known that Dean had a piercing, but he had no idea it was still functional, and equally had no idea that a piece of jewellery, Dean’s own slice of quiet rebellion, would have such a profound effect on him. Now Castiel can’t help but want him and his fading grace is doing very little in hiding his… indiscretions. The idea of it slowly drove him insane. And what makes it worse… Castiel was certain Dean was doing it on purpose.

Castiel's Hidden Pussycat | @macy2me Rating: Explicit Word Count: 41,050 Main Tags/Warnings: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe, Canon Divergence - Season 13, Castiel Adopts A Cat, Dean Winchester is Bad at Feelings, Dean Winchester in Denial, Castiel's grace is damaged, Boys Being Awkward, Sam Winchester Ships Castiel/Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester is So Done, Canon-Typical Violence, Eventual Smut, Frottage, POV Castiel (Supernatural) Summary: Castiel, angel of the Lord, has been saved by a cat. He didn’t intend to keep it. He didn’t mean for the green-eyed cat to work its way into his heart. It’s becoming a bit of a theme. Yet, here he is, smuggling a cat into the bunker. Cas and Dean have been doing a dance for nine years—circling each other, one step forward, by one step back, changing direction, never getting closer, never too far apart. However, when you throw a cat into the mix, the next move becomes a lot harder to predict.

When Dreams Come True | @avonlady42 Rating: Explicit Word Count: 65,616 Main Tags/Warnings: canon divergent, angst and fluff and smut, Dean Winchester has a wing kink, plot twist, inappropriate use of grace, top castiel/bottom Dean Winchester, explicit sexual content, happy ending, marriage, adoption Summary: After Chuck is defeated, Jack forces Dean and Cas to finally admit their feelings to each other and gives Cas his wings back in the process. They end up getting their happily ever after while Sam settles down with Eileen. Ten years they spend together as a couple, hunting when they need to, but mostly living the domesticated life Dean always wanted and Castiel always wanted him to have. Unfortunately, it all comes crashing down one day when Castiel goes on a hunt and doesn’t make it home. Dean will do whatever it takes to get the love of his life back and ends up getting more than he bargained for when he finds him again. This fic is canon compliant through Season 14 and starts off during the Ouroboros episode S14E14, from there it becomes Canon divergent with some of the rest of Season 14 and Season 15 being the same, but slightly different. S15E20 doesn’t exist and there is an alternate storyline 10 years into the future.

We Are The Music Makers (WIP) | Clairebearer (AO3) Rating: Explicit Word Count: 120,932 Main Tags/Warnings: Alternate Canon Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Hurt Castiel, Action/Adventure, Romance, Sexuality, Domestic Dean Winchester, Human Castiel, Reaper Dean, BAMF Dean, BAMF Castiel, BAMF Sam, Greek Mythology - Freeform, It's all about the souls, Awkward Sexual Situations, Sexual Fantasy, Slow Build, Case Fic, Magic Mirrors, Dark Magic, Demons, Angelic Grace, Mental Health Issues, Trickster Gabriel, Musical References, Pop culture references, Movie spoilers, Fate, Destiny, Free Will, Canon divergent, Cupid - Freeform, Terminal Illness, Top Dean Winchester, Bottom Dean Winchester, Implied/Referenced Homophobia, Dean Winchester is Bad at Feelings, Dean Winchester is Not Heterosexual, Bi-Curious Dean Winchester, Temporary Major Character Death, Angst with a happy ending Summary: Set in the aftermath of seasons 8's epic finale. With Sam's life hanging by a thread Dean is forced to call the only being he knows has the power to help: Death. However, like most impossible things they come with a terrible price and it acts as an hour glass hanging ominously over Dean's head as his life-line burns away like a fuse, a full-time job as a reaper waiting for him. Time is short and the world is bent on destroying itself, so when the shadow of an averted apocalypse threatens to resurface and wipe out everything he has fought so hard to save, Dean must do everything within his power - and more - to stop it. His own feelings be damned... If he can help it.

Far From Heaven: Part Two | @Taymarpigeon Rating: Explicit Word Count: 151,921 Main Tags/Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Angel Castiel (Supernatural), Established Castiel/Dean Winchester, Post-Canon Fix-It, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Heavy Angst, Fluff, Gratuitous Smut, Canon-Typical Violence, Canon Divergent, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD, Suicide Attempt, Homophobic John Winchester, Abusive John Winchester, Former Sex Worker Dean Winchester, POV Alternating, Top/Bottom Versatile Castiel/Dean Winchester, Possessive Castiel (Supernatural), Possessive Dean Winchester, Extremely Dubious Consent, Dom/sub, BDSM, Risk Aware Consensual Kink, Implied/Referenced Rape/Non-con, Consensual Non-Consent, Angelic Possession (Supernatural), Angelic Grace Bonds (Supernatural), Wing Kink, Castiel and Dean Winchester Get Married, Additional Tags in End Note Summary: Castiel is gone and Dean can't move passed it, can't bring himself to stray far from the last place he ever saw his Angel. A place so full of sorrow, yet there is love there too, lingering in the farthest, darkest reaches. Gabriel is done watching Castiel and Dean be martyrs. Jack's fixed up Heaven, all is as it should be, there's no reason these two idiots can't finally have everything they ever wanted. If he intervenes, if Gabriel finally embraces what he was built for in the first place, will it make a difference? Will Cas and Dean finally get their happily ever after? He's not gonna lie, leading three (not so) wise men across the desert was probably easier than this headache will turn out to be. Still, Gabriel maintains that it is possible to lead a horse to water and make it drink. You just gotta know which buttons to push.

The Farmer’s Daughter - 2

Summary: After Tyler’s last ride, he’s been lying around the house. His parents decide he needs a summer job. Lucky for him the owner of the town rodeo needs a new farm hand. But just when he thought it couldn’t no hotter the farmer’s daughter comes home from Aggie Land. Will they have a sweet summer lovin’ or will they break up in a small town

A/N: Wow this is a long one. And it took a while as I have been horible. Sickness is not for the weak. And I would like to thank my best friend for helping me so much with this chapter, cause I am so indescive. I honestly dont know when the next chapter will come out (or what happens next) so um lets see what happens.

Grace had been home for two weeks and was finally going out with her friends. They were going out to the only bar in town. It was built to be for the older crowd, but the kids wanted somewhere to hangout so they took it over. Grace had turned 21 over the school year so she could actually enjoy going to a bar. She had gotten small town done up, completely different from college town done up. She sported an off the shoulder black crop top, with some cut off blue jeans, and of course her cowgirl hat and boots.

Ever since working at the Campbell farm, Tyler had finally been talking to his old riding buddies. They were able to convince him to go out for a night. He had never been a bar type of guy, spending most nights as the DD for everyone. But tonight was different, tonight he wanted to cut loose with his buddies. He went for a casual look, a simple black shirt, jeans, and his worn down cowboy boots and hat.

Grace was a few drinks in when he saw her. She looked gorgeous, well ok he always thought that but even more so tonight. The way she glowed in the neon lights of the bar, surrounded by her friends. Seeing her letting loose with her friends was a complete difference than seeing her being a family girl at the house. He wanted to go over and talk to her, but what would they talk about? How her dad’s cows were doing? How the vegetables in her ma’s gardens were coming in? Instead of growing some balls, he stayed on his side of the bar, eyes wandering to her every now and then.

It had been an hour or maybe two, she had lost count of time and drinks, when she finally noticed him. Sitting at a high top table with his buddies. She recognized some of them from school or coming to talk to her dad. Seeing him in the dark bar instead of the golden sunshine was different, but she was happy to see the difference. She was taking in the sight as her friend pulled on her arm. “Girl, it's our song!” that was when she heard the strumming of the one song that could get her on the floor in 0.1 second. Her and her friends made it out to the dance floor. Even a year in college couldn’t make her forget this dance.

Tyler recognized the song the DJ played, a classic line dancing song especially for this bar. He looked up from his Jack and Coke up to see her. She was dancing perfectly with the music. He was memorized but the way her body moved in time with the music. She was laughing as she danced with her friends. He wished it could’ve been him out there with her, but he barely knew her. He couldn’t ask her that. Right?

She was laughing with her friends when she looked up at him. He was staring at her. She smiled at him. She imagined what it would be like if he was out there with her. But that would be wrong. He worked for her father and they barely know each other. She shouldn’t be thinking of him like that. Right?

He was up at the bar getting another round when she finally got off the dance floor. Without realizing it she walked up right beside him to order another drink. He glanced over to see who just showed up beside him. Of course it had to be Grace, the person he had been getting the balls to talk to all night. “Oh hey, Grace.” He finally said. “Oh hey Tyler, how are you?” She was more talkative the more drunk she got, and she was definitely on her way there. “ ‘M good, hanging out with some buddies. What ‘bout you, Sweetheart?” Neither of them could believe what he just called her. She was looking down at the bar blushing about the fact a man as fine as him just called her sweetheart. He was freaking out in his head over the fact her called a girl he barely knew sweetheart. “I um, I’m good. Catching up with some old friends, having a good time.” She answered, finally looking back to him. “Well that’s good, sweetheart.” He wanted to say more, but just then one of his buddies came up and slapped him on the back.

”What is taking so long, Ty? We are dying of thirst over there.” His buddy said before seeing who he was talking to, “Oh hey, Gemma? Right?” Grace chuckled a little, “No its Grace, Boone. We were in band together all four years.” “Oh shit you’re right. You were a clarinet, right?” He says, in excited and loud Boone fashion. “Yes sir, and you were trumpet or trombone…?” “I was a loud and proud trumpet.” He says, putting his hands on his hip. She giggled a little, which made Tyler’s heart soar. “Oh yes, how could I forget. Well um I better get back to my friends. It was good to see you, Boone. And I’ll see you around Ty.” Grace grabbed her drink before heading back to her friend’s table.

As Tyler and Boone headed back to their friends, Boone couldn’t resist giving Tyler a hard time about Grace. Boone knew about his friend's little crush on his boss's daughter. And the fact he just fumbled so hard with her was hilarious.

Grace stayed until closing with her friends. With a certain cowboy on her mind the rest of the night. Her friends noticed her behavior change since she had come back from the bar. They had also noticed the fine ass cowboy at the bar with her. It wasn’t hard to put two and two together.

Tyler and Grace both just happened to go to the bathroom as their friends were waiting in the parking lot. They also just happened to walk out as the last song of the night started. This song just happened to be “Tennessee Whiskey” By Chris Stapleton. To get out of the bar you just happened to have to cross the dance floor. And of course they just happened to walk up to each other.

“Hi.” Grace said as they approached each other. “Hello, Sweetheart. You enjoy your night?” Tyler responds. “It was fun. What about yours?” “It was a good time. But uh, there’s this really pretty girl I wanted to dance with. Never got the chance to.” Tyler responds, leaving Grace blushing. “Well, uh I think you still got a chance. If you ask nicely.” Grace says, looking up at him through her lashes. “Good to know. So, may I have this dance ma’am?” Offering her his hand. “You may, sir.” She accepts his hand and lets him take the lead.

Tyler wraps his arm around Grace’s back as her hand rests on her shoulder. They moved slowly, together in time with the music. Both being able to feel the other’s heartbeat. She slowly rested her head on his shoulder, his breath got caught in his throat as she did this. But it felt right to both of them.

“You know I wanted to ask you to dance all night? My friends were giving me shit for it all night, but I never grew the balls to.” Tyler chuckled a little at his embarrassing confession. It caused Grace to even chuckle a little. “Well, I am glad you did ask me to dance, even if it did take all night.” She said, looking up at him. He looked down at her. Maybe it was the song. Maybe it was the neon lights. Maybe it was the drinks he had. But he had never seen anyone so gorgeous before. Someone so breathtaking. Someone so kissable.

But of course the moment had to be ruined, once again. “Dude, how long does it take to piss?” Boone’s voice echoes through the mostly empty bar. As he realizes what he has walked in on, Grace and Tyler step away from each other. “Ooooh, excuse me.” Boone says with a smirk on his face. “No no it's ok. I should get going. My friends are waiting for me.” Grace says, feeling awkward. She reaches up on her tiptoes to give Tyler a kiss on the cheek. “I’ll see you around.” Grace walks to the door, giving a small smile to Boone as she walks out. “I hate you and your timing.” Tyler says, hitting Boone upside the head before leaving the bar.

warnings dub- con (kinda), possesive, ethan is kind of a creep, dom! ethan, sub! reader, fingering, lmk if i missed anything 879 words

𐙚 mdni!! ↓↓ 𐙚༘⋆ೀೀ

THERES A STRICT NO DATING RULE AT THE SUMMER CAMP you and Ethan work as counselors. It's meant to maintain a professional atmosphere and prevent any distractions from affecting the kids. obviously, you and ethan just think its a bunch of bullshit and still date anyway. and today was one of those nights, you were at your usual spot, an abandoned so called “haunted” cabin at the campground.

You're lying on your back, legs spread wide, with Ethan between your thighs. He's kneeling on the countertop, his mouth buried between your legs, and his hands gripping your hips, holding you in place. The cabin is quiet except for the sound of Ethan's hungry eating and your own moans of pleasure. Ethan's tongue moves expertly, swirling around your clit before plunging inside of you, savoring the taste of your sex. He groans in satisfaction, his eyes closing as he continues to eat you out, his hands holding you down even tighter. "Fuck, you taste so good," Ethan growls against your pussy, his voice muffled by your arousal. He looks up at you, his eyes dark with lust, as he continues to lick and suck your clit.

"I could eat this sweet pussy all day." "Oh my god, Ethan," you moan, your hands gripping the wood of the countertop as he continues to feast on your pussy.

"Don't stop, oh fuck." Ethan's tongue continues its relentless assault on your clit, his fingers now thrusting inside of you, driving you to the brink. You writhe under him, your moans growing louder and more urgent as he brings you closer and closer to release. "Oh fuck, Ethan, I'm going to cum!" you scream, your hips arching off your back as you reach your climax.

Ethan doesn't let up, his tongue and fingers working you even harder as you ride out your orgasm. "That's it, baby. Take it all." Ethan continues to eat you out, his tongue and fingers driving you wild with pleasure. But suddenly, you can't take it anymore. You're

overstimulated, overwhelmed by the intense sensations. "Ethan, stop!" Despite your protests, Ethan's grip on your thighs tightens, keeping you still as he continues to feast on your over-sensitized pussy. "Don't move, baby," he growls. "I want to make you cum again and again." Ethan's tongue continues to work its magic on your clit, even as you try to wriggle away from the overwhelming pleasure. But it's no use - he's too strong, and soon you find yourself moaning once again as another orgasm starts to build within you. "Cum for me again, baby. I want to taste you." Ethan's voice is husky with desirendsw Writern continues to lick and suck at your clit, his fingers still thrusting deeply inside of you. "Fuck, you're so tight," Ethan groans, his fingers pumping in and out of your dripping wet pussy as he continues to eat you out. Your body is trembling, caught between the pleasure and the discomfort of being overstimulated. "Oh my god, I'm cumming again!" you cry out, your hips bucking as another powerful orgasm rocks through your body. Ethan doesn't stop, he keeps up his assault on your sensitive pussy, dragging out the pleasure until you're left gasping for breath. Ethan ignores your desperate pleas, his tongue never leaving your clit as he forces you through one orgasm after another. Your body is a writhing, shaking mess, your pussy clenching and unclenching around his fingers as he continues to ravage you. Tears stream down your face as you beg him to stop, but his only response is to suck harder on your clit, sending you into another mind-shattering climax. Ethan can feel your vulnerability, and it only serves to turn him on more. He loves the feel of your body trembling beneath his touch, the sound of your desperate cries for mercy as he forces you to cum again and again. Ethan finally allows you to come down from your latest orgasm, but instead of stopping completely, he starts to gently kiss and lick at your pussy lips, soothing the ache between your legs. Ethan slowly pulls his fingers out of your pussy, making you gasp at the sudden emptiness. He crawls up your body, positioning himself between your legs as he looks down at you with a smirk. As Ethan's smirk grows wider, you can't help but feel a shiver run down your spine. His lips trail down your neck, leaving a trail of fire in their wake. The way he talks to you, it's like he's trying to assert some sort of power over you. Ethan's voice lowers, his lips brushing against your ear as he murmurs, "I've been thinking about this all day, every time I see you in those shorts, I want to rip them off and take you right there." Ethan growls, his hands gripping your hips tightly. "You better not wear them around again, or next time, I won't just touch, I'll fuck you right there in front of everyone, show them what a little slut you are” Before, Ethan was sweet, caring, always looking out for you. But now, there's something more, something darker lurking behind his eyes.

Something that makes you question if he's the same person you use to know.

If I've missed a character out of one of the families let me know (within reason, I imagine all these families are massive in the EU, so prioritise tv or significant characters)

Currently, the only rule is no families may inculde anyone who is even ambiguously The Doctor, it'll get super complicated super fast imo

Any characters, eg River, who can link up multiple different families to create a single massive family unit will be treated on a case by case basis. If it is possible to pick one of the smaller family units that they are a part of to include them in while not including them in any of the others (in a way everyone will agree at least makes sense) they will be included in that family only, otherwise they will not be included

Please bare in mind when you are nominating that I am hoping to keep the number of nominations under 64 to run this as a mini-tournament. This is not a hard rule so if nominations do exceed 64 its not a big deal, just something I'd like everyone to bare in mind

Episode Review: "Destiny"/"The Winter King" (Fionna & Cake, Eps. 5–6)

Airdate: September 14, 2023

Story by: Anthony Burch, Adam Muto, Hanna K. Nyström, Jack Pendarvis, Kate Tsang

Storyboarded by: Hanna K. Nyström, Anna Syvertsson, Jacob Winkler, Sonja von Marensdorff

Directed by: Ryann Shannon (supervising), Hans Tseng (art)

One of my favorite moments from Adventure Time comes at the very end of season four's "The Lich" when we are introduced to "Farmworld" for the first time. When the episode aired, this reveal was positively huge, adding as it did a brand new reality to the already complex world of Ooo. The show would go on to expand our understanding of Farmworld in the season five premiere "Finn the Human"/"Jake the Dog" and the season seven episode "Crossover," but even with all those episodes, I never could shake the feeling that there was so much more the series could have done with Farmworld. You can thus imagine my surprise when I learned that Fionna and Cake of all people would be journeying to this strangely normal alternate dimension!

"Destiny" picks up with Fionna, Cake, and Simon landing in Farmworld, roughly 10 or so years after the events of "Crossover." Following the destruction of the Farmworld crown, things returned to their (post-apocalyptic) normalcy, and Ice-Finn (or, as the people in Farmworld call him, "The Snow Man") has grown into a strapping Man-Finn who is busy raising three children (his wife, it seems, has died). One of Finn's kids, Jay, overhears Fionna, Cake, and Simon asking around about the Farmworld crown, and so he steals them away to meet his father. Once Man-Finn discovers what it is Simon and Co. seek, however, he bids them to leave. Going against his father's wishes, Jay sneaks Fionna, Cake, and Simon to the crater where the Farmworld Bomb had detonated, where they all discover the charred remnants of the crown. At this point, Jay reveals that previously when visiting the crater, he had discovered one of the crown's jewels. The final act of the episode is a sees Fionna, Cake, Simon, Man-Finn, and Jay square off against the Destiny Gang and Scarab, who we learn has been trailing our heroes this whole time. After securing the jewel from Big D's turncoat daughter, Simon fuses it with Prismo's remote, zapping himself, Fionna and Cake to another reality just as Scarab stabs(?!) Man-Finn in the head.

First and foremost, I must stress that "Destiny" feels very much like an episode of the "original" Adventure Time. This is likely a result of the Farmworld setting: as a world, it is overflowing with an absurdist energy and out-there characters (e.g., Big D!) that I intimately associate with the adventures of Finn and Jake. And let me know emphatically state: This is not a bad thing. Not at all. I love how the producers have been able to weave the Adventure Time "feel" into something new. It is like meeting an old friend after a long time apart (only for that old friend to get stabbed in the head by a space-god).

OK, but seriously… did Farmworld Finn die? I hope note. If he did, that would mean that Jay's actions were directly responsible for his father getting killed. That's pretty dark. And considering all the bad dads in the Oooniverse, it would be nice if one of the good ones was allowed to live a (relatively) happy life.

Airdate: September 14, 2023

Story by: Anthony Burch, Adam Muto, Hanna K. Nyström, Jack Pendarvis, Kate Tsang

Storyboarded by: Iggy Craig, Graham Falk, Jim Campbell, Lucyola Langi, Nicole Rodriguez

Directed by: Steve Wolfhard (supervising), Hans Tseng (art)

After zapping away from Farmworld, Simon, Fionna, and Cake teleport to a reality ruled by the "Ice Prince"—an alt-universe Simon Petrikov who has somehow managed to avoid the madness that plagued Ice King. Simon quickly tells his fellow Petrikov the group's goals, and the Ice Prince gallantly agrees to help them by duplicating his own crown. Things are going swimmingly until the evil "Candy Queen" swoops in and snatches away both Simon and the Ice Prince. Fionna, Cake, and Ice Prince's guards dart to their rescue, brutally (but humorously) massacring dozens of hideously mutated candy citizens. Fionna and Cake rescue Simon and the Ice Prince, but once Fionna and Ice Prince share a kiss, the awful truth is revealed: Ice Prince is not some gentleman who overcame the madness of the crown through sheer will. No, he was a self-centered "wad" who used magic to deflect his madness onto the poor Candy Queen… who, as we quickly learn, is just an alternate universe version of Princess Bubblegum. Thanks to fairy tale logic, Fionna's kiss breaks Ice Prince's magic spell, which causes his crown to lose power. He subsequently crumbles to dust and everything he has created melts away.

So far, of the episodes we've gotten, I think "The Winter King" has been my favorite, largely because of the way it explores Simon's psychological character.

One thing that made Ice King’s story so tragic was how Simon, in his original form, was fundamentally a good person, buried deep within the mind of an outwardly "evil" wizard. "The Winter King" neatly conveys the opposite of this situation by showing us an Alt-Simon who, while outwardly "good," had long ago squandered his sense of morality for selfish gain. Not to get too analytical, but all of the good/bad talk reminds me of what the psychologist Carl Jung called the "Shadow." Put in simplest terms, the Shadow is a part of the unconscious human psyche in which repressed, rejected, or unrecognized aspects of the Self are contained, far from the light of conscious thought. The Shadow tends to seal away attributes of the Self that we wish to downplay or dismiss, making it "the home of the suppressed monsters of our inner world," in which "the energy of [our] dark side" bubbles (to quote Christopher Vogler). Furthermore, the Shadow exists as the inverse of our conscious Ego (meaning that, as Jung put it, "when one tries desperately to be good and wonderful and perfect, then all the more the shadow develops a definite will to be black and evil and destructive"). And because it is unconscious, the Shadow eludes easy detection. Nevertheless, its contents can often be ascertained by keeping an eye out for psychological “projection,” wherein a person denies their own foibles and instead recognizes those defects in others.

Now consider this topic in relation to "The Winter King." Let us start with Ice King, a hyperbolically crazy and "evil" wizard. I would argue that Ice King is a textbook of Simon's Shadow made manifest: He is everything that Simon consciously does not want to be brought to the surface in its entirety. The tragedy of Simon is that, while he doesn't often talk about it, he knows deep down that Ice King, while corrupted and warped by the crown, was an aspect of himself. In fact, this entire series feels very much like Simon’s journey to fully recognize his own Shadow.* And the fact that he starting to do this despite it being a painful process is, in my opinion, the clearest evidence of his ethical/moral character. Conversely, Alt-Simon is not like this. When presented with his Shadow, he does not choose to begin the painful recognition process. Instead, he projects it onto an innocent person; he builds up an elaborate "nice king" persona while literally condemning someone for his own sins. It is important to note that psychological projection is a pretty normal occurrence and thus not a surefire marker of "evil" or anything like that. What makes this instance of projection so bad is that Alt-Simon does this fully aware that it will cause someone to suffer for crimes they did not commit. Alt-Simon is like the "pious" archbishop who burns the "evil witches" at the stake all because he cannot come to terms with his own inner demons.

Now that is messed up!

But you know what isn't messed up? The voice acting in this episode. I do not say this to be hyperbolic: "The Winter King" may very well be Hynden Walch's finest performance to date. Her take on the Candy Queen is truly horrifying in a decidedly blursed way. So fundamentally different is her performance that at first I thought it was someone else! Also stealing the spotlight in this episode is Brian David Gilbert, erstwhile writer for Polygon and maker of many a wacky YouTube video. Gilbert's Ice Prince exudes the perfect amount of over-the-top flamboyance and faux chivalry. Both Walch and Gilbert get a song apiece in this episode, and both do a stellar job. (As an aside, have we ever had a true-blue PB song? Does the Candy Queen's song count?)

Oh, and as a quick aside: "The Winter King" features a few short scenes set in Fionna's non-magical world that follow Marshall Lee and Gary Prince as the latter tries to bake something that will earn him greater renown. Going into these scenes, I thought I would have found them a bit dull, but they were quite endearing. It's obvious that these scenes are a way for us to explore how Marceline and Bubblegum got to know one another, but from the parallax angle of a genderbent world, and I am here for it!

Final "Destiny" Grade: A

Final "The Winter King Grade": A

* My Prediction: Simon will attempt to become the Ice King, only to realize that a full-on transformation is not just necessary but ultimately dangerous. Recognizing one's Shadow does not mean you become synonymous with; it simply means that you know it's there.

hi!! adore you and your work!! sort of went down a rabbit hole today on your page scrolling through asks, and i just wanted to piggyback off a question you had received a while back on faceclaims for the lionheart characters (draco being skarsgard/jamie campbell bower coded weirdhot is the REALEST thing)- could you please tell us the same for the others? esp the slytherins: daphne, theo, pansy

i don't particularly have a logic for this, but i see hannah dodd as daphne and alice pagani as pansy, while im constantly confused between lorenzo zurzolo and louis partridge for theo. would love to hear about what you think!!

Oh thank you! You're very kind!

Hannah Dodd is a wonderful fancast for Daphne. I hope I don't change your mental image of her by offering another — the idea of having a personal imagining of a character I wrote is so very dear to me and makes me so happy, I'd be loathe to mess with it. Plus, I don't really see specific human faces when I'm writing, so these are just "well, if I had to cast, these guys would be really fun to watch tackle the role!"

That being said, Daphne I could also easily see being performed by one of those Old Hollywood actresses. She's got the classic yellow curls, big sad baby blue eyes, round face, that kind of thing. Young Grace Kelly, Mae West, that kind of girl. Astoria is repeatedly described as visually similar or identical, so she kind of gives me baby Bette Davis — something about that pinched little smirk of a mouth.

I love Alice Pagani as Pansy, honestly, no notes. Exactly captures the "thousand-yard-stare that could be exhausted contemplation of her own fucked-up life or a quick brainstorming session for ways to bitch you out." Also has the great "consumptive chic??" situation going on, which is very Pansy. I once also described as a young Christina Ricci, which is a similar if not identical vibe.

Theo doesn't get much description in terms of looks, but Draco thinks of him as "rat-faced" at one point, which leans him towards the partridge side rather than the usual svelte zursolo faceclaim (though I think Partridge is quite good-looking and does not deserve the appellation "rat-faced," in fairness). I've thought of him when I've seen pictures of David Mazouz and Jack Dylan Grazer, too. Those actors look younger, which makes it easier to capture Theo as he actually *is,* now, at 15, rather than how I imagine him looking as an adult. Which is a common problem in faceclaims! We're all so used to 30-somethings playing teenagers the cultural consciousness is not used to imagining realistic 15 year olds on-screen.

#greenteacup asks #also once again putting freddie fox into the draco faceclaim conversation #you know when you can tell a man's bitchy by how his eyebrows look?

People You Know - iii

warnings: mentions of blood, death, toxic relationships, child birth

just so that you all know, the tradition thats in this series is entirely fictitious i made it up, unless this tradition is real then yeah i got it from there, i didn't find any Maori traditions like this <3

A whole week had passed, a week since the premiere, a week since Camila told Amiria about her encounter with Jack.

At first Amiria choked on her tea, then she processed what her best friend said, then made a face that would definitely mean something along the lines of, ‘What the actual fuck?’

Then Camila went on and explained everything that he said to her.

But like expected, Amiria didn’t budge. Her decision stayed the same. She didn’t want to see him. She was ready to but that didn’t mean that she wanted to.

Since then Camila and the Campbell women travelled back to Amiria’s house in Atlanta and were preparing for one of Amiria’s favorite traditions and the most significant for her as a new mother.

It was a tradition that was brought into the Campbell family by Aroha herself. Back when Amiria parents were in their early stages of dating her father was invited by his current wife to a very special evening where they celebrate the lives of both the mother and the newest edition to the family. Now to be very honest Aroha’s side of the family births were very peculiar and worrying. From being born in the middle of New York traffic to almost bleeding out during child birth.

The tradition started with Amiria’s great great great grandmother in the 1800s and ever since it’s just continued throughout and has held her family together and strengthened the bonds, especially with the in-laws and no matter how dissolved and faded the Maori side of the family became this was the one with that always stuck.

That’s one of the reasons Amiria absolutely loved the tradition.

It’s the reason she was so excited to begin with.

Having her family in the city that had become a second home to her and them having the opportunity to meet her beautiful baby daughter erased any and all worry that has been in her mind recently.

As Aroha, Camila and Amiria spent a couple days shopping for decorations and ingredients to make Amiria’s favorite foods , she seemed to have completely forgotten about Jack as a whole. All she could remember from the premiere was how much fun she had, dancing, singing and celebrating with her co-stars.

Now all she was feeling was an abundance of excitement. Within the next couple hours all of her closest family would be in her house.

And that’s all she could focus on.

Jack had spent the last couple minutes looking through Camila and Amiria’s stories on Urbans phone as the latter along with Neelam was getting ready to go.

All he could see was the two friends shopping and enjoying themselves, preparing for the festivities that were approaching within the hour.

He smiles to himself as he hears her laugh again, he’d been deprived from the real thing for too long.

That’s how it’s been since she left. Amiria had blocked Jack on everything, from her Twitter to iMessage, Jack had no way to contact her. So he’d use Urbans phone to see how she was doing how Ani was doing even though Amiria hadn’t posted a single picture of her daughter on the internet.

He thought it was smart, kept her out of the public eye, she was far to young for that.

He also knew that she still kept in close contact with their mutual friends that she met through them, but only invited Dru, Neelam and Urban.

Amiria was actually the person who introduced Jack to Druski when she was invited to an event he was hosting. At the time the two had been very good friends for just over a year, were and still are like brother and sister.

Urban and Neelam on the other hand just remained in contact with Amiria and checked on her as much as possible. Sometimes they would visit her when they were in town, especially before the big fight that ended everything.

Even though they’ve all been a lot busier, they still keep in touch.

Part of Jack wanted to beg the three of them to not go but he didn’t want to ruin her day.

With Neelam waiting in the hallway of the hotel the three were staying in, Urban goes to Jacks room to get his phone. He walks in to find Jack lying on his bed with a frown, scrolling through more of her posts or posts of her co stars with her.

When he sees Urban he switches off his phone and gives it back.

“You can’t keep doing this.” Urban scolds as he looks at the state of his best friend. “Especially after the stunt you pulled last week.”

“What else am I supposed to do? She won’t talk to me.”

“You aren’t entitled to a conversation with her.” The moment those words leave his mouth, Jack roles his eyes. “I’m telling you the truth. Ami doesn’t owe you anything. Especially after everything you put her through.”

“I wasn’t that bad.” Jack says trying to defend himself.

“She has the right to take as much time to think about whether she wants you in her and Ani’s lives or not. You have to give her that time.” Urban scoffs. “I thought after fifteen months you’d realise that you genuinely fucked up.”

“So you’re taking her side.”

“Get over yourself! I will always support you but for this I can’t. Amiria is being a mother. She’s protecting her daughter from as much pain as possible and that includes you after you clearly showed her the kind of father you’d be.”

“That’s not fair, I was pissed that day.”

“That’s always been your excuse when it comes to her.” Urban purses his lips as he felt his more protective side come out. “I’m sorry man but Neelam, Dru and I are going to be supportive friends. Clearly this is important because she wouldn’t be having this thing 6 months after Ani was born.”

Urban makes his way to the door. “What do you mean? I thought this was just another family tradition.”

“It is Jack but Amiria told us multiple times that this happens because if the mother or the child or both have a dangerous and risky birth. The same event happened with Mrs Campbell when she was 6 months old, Amiria when she was 6 months old and clearly this is happening because somehow bad happened the day Ani was born.” Urban says quickly before leaving, not being able to see the dumbstruck expression on Jacks face.

If something really bad happened while Amiria was in labour, is there a chance that she could’ve been dead today? Is there a chance that Ani could’ve died in childbirth? Is there a chance that they both could’ve died that day?

He had to try one more time. If he was going to properly give her space he had to let her know how sorry he was. One more time.

***

A few hours had passed and Amiria’s house was filled with her loved ones. Ani was in the arms of her mother for the first two hours before Amiria put the baby in her room for a short nap, while keeping the baby monitor close by.

She’d been talking and catching up with her family. From her grandparents to the youngest cousin of the family only bing twelve. The night was turning out better than she could’ve ever hoped for.

For the past couple minutes, Amiria and Camila had been sitting with Druski, Urban and her cousins Dolores, Margo, Maia and Marcel. Listening to every single embarrassing story that came out of the groups’ mouths. As much as Amiria should be feeling mortified, she was laughing her ass off with the rest of them.

It had been awhile since her family was together. Now this was only like an eighth of them but nevertheless they sent their love. By love I mean parcels and envelopes filled with cards and presents for her and Ani.

She was just happy that her cousins and best friends her getting along so well.

Everything was perfect.

Absolutely perfect.

But the more anxious side of Amiria and her gut told her that something out of the ordinary was going to happen tonight, but like usual Amiria fashion she pushed it to the back of her mind and continued to enjoy her company.

She then hears Ani’s faint cries on the baby monitor. “That’s my cue, I’ll bring her down.” Amiria says as she pushes herself off the couch, takes the monitor with her and goes upstairs.

The moment Ani’s eyes land on the familiar women her cries begin to hush down and she hums to herself as she uses her short chubby squishy arms to reach up for her mother.

A sweet smile forms on both of their faces. Ani let’s put a squeal as Amiria lifts her up and blows into her stomach. The two spend a few moments laughing before the woman moves her to the changing station.

She places gentle kisses on her daughters head as she places her on the table. She quickly unbuttons Ani’s clothes and removes the dirty, foul dipper, wraps it up and throws it away.

“You know everyone downstairs is here for us.” Amiria says to her daughter who just wiggles her tiny fingers in response as her mother wipes her and grabs a fresh dipper. “Because of how far we’ve come together.”

She lifts up the lower part of Ani’s body and slips the dipper under. “And we’ll go very far, just the two of us.” Ani coos as Amiria presses down the straps before taking the dress out of her daughters drawers. “And I will protect you from every single bad thing on the planet. As long as you have me, you’ll never be alone.”

She continues as she slips on the purple dress. “You and me, just the two of us, we’ll be okay.”

That’s something she’d been saying to her daughter quite often, especially recently.

Amiria sticks her pinkie out in-front of the baby, attempting something. Instead Ani wraps her small hand around the finger and pulls it to her mouth. The older woman chuckles as she pulls herself out of her daughters grip, to which the baby responds with a pout. Amiria just watches her daughter with complete adoration before she’s pulled out of her thoughts with a knock on the door.

“Come in!” Amiria says as she zips up Ani’s dress.

She expects it to Camila but she’s shocked but relieved to see Maggie Harlow.

The moment Ani’s grandmother walks in she takes a moment to gaze around the room. The walls coated with lilac paint, beautiful plastic butterflies hang from the ceiling and picture flames scattered across the wall. With her cot in one corner ontop of the soft, plushy carpet, the changing station not to far from it and a matching sofa for the times Amiria, Camila or Aroha would spend keeping an eye on Ani. A box of toys and the wardrobe right next to it.

Maggie hand ever been in Amiria’s new home before. She had visited numerous times back when she lived in her loft. While Jack and Amiria were still dating, she’d sometimes come and visit her while Jack was away. This was a very rare case for Maggie, she often never put this much effort into keeping in touch with Jacks numerous girlfriends but something about Amiria Campbell felt different.

She was much kinder, more mature, compassionate, Maggie could go on and on about why Amiria was perfect for Jack to her husband who would say the same thing. Unfortunately their son poked the bear to much and he lost her.

“This is beautiful.” Maggie says as her eyes scan the room in awe. “Looks much better than in the pictures.”

Amiria giggles as Ani reaches up for her mother and practically clings onto her shirt the moment she’s scooped up into her arms. “Thank you, my dad actually helped with most of this so you should be saying that to him.”

“Only the best for his granddaughter.” Maggie wanders off to look at the pictures on the wall. Some of them had Camila in or Stephen and Aroha in but most of them, in fact six had just Ani and Amiria. Each picture had a date, for every month since she was born. The latest one had been taken today. A few hours ago actually.

Ani in Amiria’s arms; Amiria wears black baggy jeans and a light blue tank top while Ani wears a matching shirt and pants. The twos’ foreheads pressed together and a smile lingering on both of their lips. Maggie could practically picture the moment perfectly and it honestly brought tears to her eyes. The moment was absolutely beautiful. Taken only hours ago.

“She has his curls.” Maggie mumbles, a small smile forms on Amiria’s face, if there was one feature she wanted her daughter to have would definitely be his curls. “And his eyes, your mouth and hair colour.”

There’s a reason why Amiria looked more like her mother than father, it’s simple. The Kaihe women have very, very strong genes. It seems that the only thing that Ani had inherited from Jack would be his hair and eyes, otherwise everything else was completely Kaihe and a little bit of Campbell.

Amira takes a seat on the sofa and Maggie joins her. Ani rests on her mothers lap as she plays with her fingers.

“How have you been?”

“I’ve been surviving, I’ve just been busy these past couple months.”

“Filming must be tiring, especially with this little trouble maker.” Maggie says before tickling the baby’s stomach making sweet giggles escape her mouth.

“It is but it’s all worth it to come back to her. I miss her during the day.”

The two women spend a few more minutes talking before Maggie says something that shocks Amiria. “The first time I met you, I told Jack that he has to marry you.” Amira and Maggie both start laughing. “I’m serious, you were much younger then but I knew that you were perfect for him. Besides you gave me a granddaughter, why wouldn’t I want you to marry him.”

“Sometimes I wonder how different things would be now if I didn’t leave that day.”

“You left because you were doing what was best for you and Ani.” Amiria nods her head in response, she sniffs as she feels the tears form in her eyes and a lump in her throat.

“Do you think I’m a bad mom because I’m not letting Jack be apart of Ani’s life?” By now the tears were streaming down her face, Ani notices and frowns as she reaches out and places her hand on her mothers face.

“I would never think that. Neither does Brian.”

“I want to but I just can’t, not yet.”

“We understand, so when you do make sure it’s on your own accord. Nobody else should force you to do anything. You’re Ani’s mother, it’s your decision.” Maggie reassures her, Ani however sees that her mother is still crying and her lips start to quiver.

“Ani baby, I’m okay. Please don’t cry.” Amiria assures her daughter as she wipes away her tears and places a kiss on her forehead.

Maggie takes Ani just before Amiria stands up to freshen up in the bathroom. Minutes later the two women descend the stairs and join everyone else outside.

Camila had gathered everyone outside for the toast. It was tradition that the grandpa pat of the new born well the parents of the mother were the ones to make it.

Everyone holds a champagne glass of some flavour of sparkling juice. Another tradition, no smoking or alcohol, well anything that wasn’t baby safe at the gathering.

Amiria stands next to Camila with her daughter in her arms and a glass in her right hand. Her friends and family standing on either side while her parents stand across the group.

“Firstly, we’d like to thank all of you for coming to celebrate our beautiful daughter and granddaughter today.” Stephen Campbell starts, a sweet smile forms on Amiria’s face.

“Amiria baby, there will never be enough words that we could use to describe and explain how proud of you we are. How grateful we are that you’re alive, well and healthy. That you’ve managed motherhood and your career.” Aroha Campbell adds, tears start to form in the twos eyes.

“That you’re growing and healing everyday. Despite everything you’ve gone through over the past couple years, you have still managed to keep your shining smile on and raise your daughter.” Stephen continues with his eyes locked on his only child.

“You are everything and more of what we hoped for you. Taku tamahine ataahua,” my beautiful daughter. “I am so proud of you, of the woman you were then, you are now and who you’ll continue to be.”

“So let’s raise our glasses filled with sparkling juices.” Stephen starts making everyone raise their glasses. “For my amazing daughter and precious granddaughter. We wish you both a wonderful future filled with happiness, love and prosperity.”

“So here’s to Amiria and Ani!”

Then everyone screams. “To Amiria and Ani!”

Amiria immediately speeds to her parents with her daughter resting her head against her chest but her eyes still open, observing everyone. The family of three share a special moment as the guests continue talking amongst themselves.

After Amira and her parents play with Ani for a few minutes, her along with Camila go inside and sit on the couch.

Ani sits in between them fiddling with a some of her toys while people walk in an out the kitchen, taking a thing or two off the platters.

Just as Amiria is about to say something to Camilla, Ani nudges her mothers thigh. Amiria knowing what her daughter wants, scoops Ani up into her arms.

“I’m going to warm her a bottle.” She says to her best friend before walking towards the kitchen.

Just as she’s about to join her, Camila hears the doorbell ring and goes to answer the door. Her mistake was not checking the peep hole because the person she was greeted with the moment the open, was the last person who everyone wanted to show up.

“Shit.”

“You have got to be kidding.”

Jack and Camila say at the same time the moment she opens the door.

“You have 5 seconds to explain why you’re here or else I’m getting Mr Campbells machete.” Camila seethes making Jack take a small step backwards.

“I just want to talk to her, apologise again. Just please give me five minutes with her, I know she’s here-“

“Of course she’s here, do you have any fucking idea how important this day is to her?”

On the other side of the house, Druski, Urban, Neelam, Dolores, Marcel and Margo talk amongst themselves in the kitchen.

“Margo, can you please ask camila where she put the bottle I filled this morning.”

“Be right back.” Margo says as she stands up and walks towards Camila.

“Oh crap.” Druski says the moment he notices who Margo and Camila were with. The rest of the group turn their heads in the same direction and see the familiar rapper.

Before Druski, Neelam or Urban can say anything, Marcel and Dolores are speeding towards the three, the former trio scurry after them and are greeted with Jack pleading with the two women.

“Jackman I really think you should leave before Amiria or her parents see you.” Camila insists.

“I don’t think you understand how much our uncle and grandparents hate you.” Margo adds on. “ I didn’t think they were capable of hating anyone actually.”

“Dude, you really have to leave.” Urban says as the eyes of Amiria’s cousins and best friend practically burn into him.

“Just 2 minutes with her please, just let me make this right.” Jack begs once again.

“That’s it, I’m getting the machete.” Camila snaps as she tries to push her way out of the group that had formed behind her.

“I know where Amiria keeps her old cricket bat.” Margo adds on as she follows Camila.

The two women are stopped by Dolores who stops Margo by grabbing onto her shoulder and Urban who quickly takes hold of Camilas’ hand. As the two women try to break free while the others try get Jack to leave, they all seem to not notice the familia giggles coming from the kitchen.

“Margo you can tell Camila I found the bottle.” She pauses as she giggles at her daughters attempts to poke her face. “Stop poking my face!” Ani laughs this time, neither noticing who was at the door but now the group had noticed and they really didn’t know what to do. Jackman on the other hand wore a face of pure glee as she watches his soulmate play with their daughter. “I’m going to go feed her upstairs.”

Then Amiria stops when she notices the group huddling by the door. “What?” She walks closer, then pauses again. They all couldn’t possibly exaggerate when they say they saw all the colour drain from her face. The sparkle in her eyes that had been shining over the past couple hours had been extinguished. The funny thing is, Ani noticed and turned to her mother with a puzzled look before turning towards the unfamiliar man standing in the doorway.

Ani could tell something wasn’t right, this made her cling onto her mother even harder and keep a strong sharp glare on the man in the doorway.

“Jack?” Amiria’s’ voice trembles as the words escape her lips.

“We were trying to get him out-“ Camila begins explaining the situation before Amiria cuts her off.

“It’s okay I’ll talk to him.” Amiria nods to the group making them disperse, Margo and Camila remain.

“Are you sure?” Camila asks her best friend, who is taking deep breaths. The eye contact between her and Jackman hadn’t broken.

Amira lets out a deep breath through her nose as she clenches her jaw, nodding in response. She tries to hand her daughter over to Camila but the baby clings onto her mother shirt.

“Kei te pai mama.” Mama’s okay. “I’m okay baby.” Amiria assures her, Ani reaches up with her small hands to brush away the single tear that Amiria didn’t even realise escaped. She places a gentle kiss on her daughters head before handing her over to her Godmother. She gives Camila the bottle too before she follows the group outside.

Jack who had been waiting outside, had been watching through the window took time to fully appreciate how much Ani was like her mother. The empathy, compassion, the intelligence. From the dark brown tint in her hair to the complexion of her skin and the sound of them giggling together. She was an exact copy of Amiria in his eyes.

Treating her that way was truly his biggest mistake. He’s missed so much already.

Amiria steps onto the front porch of her home and closes the door behind her.

“What do you want Jackman?” Crap she used his full name, he clears his throat.

“Just to talk.”

“Fine talk.”

“I’m really, extremely sorry for everything that happened over the passed couple years.I wish I could take back everything I ever did-“

“Well you can’t.”

“Baby I just want another chance, please.” Amiria scoffs.

“How many times did I have to beg you for another chance when you were clearly in the wrong? How many fucking times did you ever apologise to me? How many months,no years, did I wait and hope you would change?” Amiria’s voice trembles again as she chokes back tears. Not of sadness but of pain and anger. “But my daughter didn’t change you because here you are.”

She takes a step closer, finger in his face. “Fifteen months later and the same self centred, narcissistic, manipulative asshole I left.”

Tears are streaming down both their faces, Jack attempts to cradle Amiria’s face in his hands but she takes a step back.

“Baby, I’m doing this because I love you and miss you.“

“If you loved me, you wouldn’t have treated me like that.”

“Bubs I loved you through all of that I promise you.”

“Then why did you do it?!” Amiria shouts, startling Jack. “Why did you make me feel like no one would ever love me after you, like no one else cared about me, like no one would ever put up with me or take me back if I left you. You made me think that my family and best friends gave up on me because I chose to stay with you. Despite everything you put me through I still loved you and I almost lost everything because of you.” Her breath shudders towards the end, she quickly wipes the tears away. “My career almost went down the drain because of you.”

“I know I hurt you and I’m so sorry for everything that happened but please don’t let what I did to you keep me out of Ani’s life. We need each other to get through this and -“

“Let me make one thing crystal clear.” She says as she takes a step closer, their faces inches apart, if this were normal circumstances then some else would’ve happened because of then small space between them. “We do not need you. Ani doesn’t fucking need you. I didn’t need you when I bled out and flatlined for 2 minutes after giving birth to Ani and I certainly do not need you now.”

“You what?” Jack says with look of pure horror on his face. His gut feeling was right

“I was dead for 2 minutes but Doctor Forbes bought me back and as long as I’m alive I will always protect my daughter. Even from you.” Her index finger touches his chest. “I never want her heart to be broken by you, like you broke mine.

Amiria shakes her head as she wipes away more tears, she walks back to the door. “Oh and Jack, move on dude this is what we are and forever shall be, so I suggest you move on.”
