🌀 and ⛅ please!!!! 🙏🙏🙏 I would make a blood sacrifice to read your RoyJamie fic, if that's any motivation.
THANK YOUUUU .... It so is.... I have like 39 wips and I NEVER have time to finish them but I feel like if I actually locked in on one project I could like. Actually make something idk. but yes ty <3
🌀: Post the fic summary for a fic you haven't published.
I'm literally so bad at writing summaries and I never do it, so I'll just describe one haha
It's an AU where Jamie's life veered off course in his late teens and he became a year 0/reception (or Pre-K in the US - 4-5 year olds) teacher instead of a football player. Roy is the exact same. Phoebe's in Jamie's class and Roy and Jamie hit it off when Roy's sister gets an emergency call into work and he has to go be the Volunteer Parent Helper in Jamie's classroom haha
🌤️: Post your favorite dialogue from your WIP.
This is from the same one just to keep the theme going. Keep in mind this is a work in progmess lol <3
“So,” she starts, drawing out the o sound, which immediately confirms Roy’s suspicion that she’s got vicious, nasty ulterior motives.
“What do you think of Mr. Jamie?”
Roy throws his head back and groans.
Since he came out, Rachel’s been on the fool’s errand of trying to lure him into talking about men with her.
It's like she thinks they're on fucking Sex and the fucking City, or something.
Roy is really no more eager to discuss men with his sister than he ever was to discuss women with her (or than he would be to, say, flatten his testicles in a vice-grip), and has tried several times to explain as much, but Rachel doesn’t listen to a goddamn word he says.
She reaps some sort of demented delight from his continued irritation.
Fucking little sisters.
Roy takes a hedonistically-long swig from his stemmed glass and swishes the bitter liquid around in his cheeks like a wine-tasting old-money prick.
It tastes like wine; he thinks he detects notes of grapes.
"Jamie’s fine,” Roy concedes, refusing to fall prey to her scheme. “Seems…nice.”
Rachel - undeterred - jabs him beneath the ribs with her bony index finger.
It fucking hurts. She’s inherited their mother's hawk talon fingers, long and sharp and probably strong enough to break a rodent’s neck in one go.
Roy cradles his poor, abused side and glares daggers at her across the sofa.
“Fuck off! What?”
“You know.”
He does.
“No, I don’t,” he insists, directing his attention back towards the TV.
He keeps his arms firmly glued to his sides, just in case she tries it.
Two of the dark-haired, belipfillered women who have been courting the same ugly little blond lad are yelling at each other in a restaurant booth, but Rachel was running her mouth through the entirety of the talking heads segment, so Roy's got no idea what's happened or where they are.
He growls in annoyance and moves to grab the remote off the coffee table.
The moment his sides are exposed, Rachel lunges at him, driving her talon into his vulnerable side.
Next time, Roy thinks, I’ll bite her finger clean off.
“Fucking stop!” He orders.
He slaps her hand away hard enough that she yelps.
"Are you really gonna make me say it?" She demands, cradling her hand like Roy's fucking broken it, or something. “I have to be the weirdo?”
“Yeah. Because I've got no fucking idea what you’re talking about.”
“Oh, come on, Roy. He's fucking fit.”
“Is he? Didn't notice. Can I just fucking watch our fucking show?”
“All the mummies fancy him, too,” Rachel continues, ignoring him altogether. “I mean, not me. I don't like athletic men. They're all vain and shallow.”
“Hm.”
“But all the other mummies. God, there's a mums’ groupchat—for, like, playdates, or day-drinking, or whatever—and the shit these women say about this boy—let me show you.”
She reaches for her phone on the coffee table, but Roy waves her off.
“I can imagine, thanks.”
#ask#kent siblings fighting like teenagers lolll#this is corny and rom-commy and very outside of my comfort zone which is part of the reason i enjoyed writing it#royjamie

Jamie and Ruby broke up in October or November 2020 and Jess took advantage of Jamie's sadness and vulnerability (about his breakup with Ruby), so that he noticed her on IG, to come into her life, she's been stalking Jamie for years and almost everyone noticed, so stop defending her, it's obvious she's shady, she's using Jamie's career to draw attention to herself (it shows in her photos that she posts of her and him on IG, that she is fake with him and Ruby was more sincere with him when they were together), she uses him as a wallet and for her fame and nothing else, everyone is interested in her and likes her because she is Jamie's girlfriend and nothing else.
She says she works in management at a celebrity company, but she allowed herself to leave her company and probably let her coworkers do her job for a year and a half, while she traveled and attended all the conventions, events and others of Jamie and it is not normal for a co-founder to do what she did and she was present 24/24-7/7 with him for her own interest, so that she becomes famous (in fact it worked her followers increased on IG and people wanted to take photos with her and she looked fake to them) and it wasn't in support of Jamie that she was there.
Weirdly Jess lost a lot of followers on IG, because Jamie is not with her at the moment, so no one is interested in her anymore, she noticed that she lost followers, so she is doing everything to get them back by liking and commenting on Jamie's posts, for example all last week she was liking and commenting (her comments were ridiculous, she looks more like a fan than her girlfriend commenting), so now she's using Jamie's IG posts (there were people who liked her stupid comments), so that people wouldn't forget her and to get her followers back.
This woman is toxic and manipulative to him, she does not respect and has never respected his sobriety and she does not support Jamie's sobriety since she drinks next to him, he will start drinking again and relapse because of 'her and it's sad for him after all the work he put in to heal.
At the time when he was with Ruby, she respected and supported him his sobriety, I don't know if she drank or not but even if she did it wasn't next to him or she never posted it when she was drinking on IG out of respect for him.
Well, first of all:
This is already long from the ask alone lol. I’m gonna put a read more, sorry in advance.
I don’t know how many times I have to say WE DONT ACTUALLY KNOW the events surrounding Jamie breaking up with Ruby and getting with Jess. The idea that she swooped in and took advantage of him is purely conjecture.
If you want to believe that Jess preyed on Jamie’s vulnerability after his break up with Ruby, you’re free to do so. But no one can say that that is definitely what happened. We have zero insight into what their early relationship even looked like and who made the first move.
And Jess existed in the fashion world independently of Jamie before they got together. It is not out of the realm of possibility that they had met prior (that one event they were both photographed at when Jamie was with Matilda) and maintained some sort of acquaintance until they ultimately started dating. People break up, and people go on to date people they’ve known for years. That’s not a red flag. To me, if Jess really wanted Jamie after meeting him at that 2015 event, wouldn’t she have gone in for the kill when he broke up with Matilda, or broke up with Lily again? Why even give him time to start dating and wait until he broke up Ruby if she was that conniving and manipulative?
If someone somehow finds out that she did stalk him and plot this plan to get with him, then cool. Then we’d know, we’d have the full story and I’d probably change my tune. But as for now, we don’t know, and I don’t see us finding out anytime soon. So it’s not admissible evidence in the case against Jess.
As for her management company, I don’t believe she’s done anything with that for years anyway. I think you’re talking about Ice Studios, which she is a co-owner of. Is it clear exactly what she does as a co-owner? No. I do agree that’s weird. But in my opinion, I just don’t think it matters. I’ve known many CEO-type people of companies not have active roles in their businesses.
The Instagram followers, I guess I’m just not sure how that matters in terms of why Jess is bad? I mean Jamie’s follower count has also gone down? Is he also losing fame? Even if she was gaining followers for traveling with Jamie…okay? That’s just sort of how social media and celebrities work. People gain and lose interest pretty superficially. And to the fans taking pics with Jess, I mean that’s also kind of on the fans. It’s not like she asked Jamie’s fan to take a picture with her. The fans wanted to take pictures with her, that’s not Jess’s problem or on her to be like “no, sorry, I’m not famous enough”.
And again, the thing with Jess and her drinking/disrespecting Jamie’s sobriety, that’s also complete conjecture. As two adults in a relationship, it’s probable that they have discussed his triggers and boundaries involving alcohol. It’s not like Jamie has NEVER been around people drinking since he got sober. He’s a big boy, he can handle his own sobriety however he sees fit and let people around him know what is and is not okay. Like it’s a pretty big conclusion to jump to without the nuance and deeper context that we just don’t have. I also think it’s just kind of ridiculous to say that it’s toxic of her to post herself drinking on her own social media, when not even with Jamie. As if Jamie wouldn’t potentially scroll past literally anyone else on his feed drinking at any given moment, you know?

Aww I love Duncan and Paul's friendship
Makes sense the Fremen are so hesitant to welcome these new people
Jesus these guys are so damn quick to point swords at people calm down
Damn this desert is beautiful, the sand is so pretty. You could probably stare at it and find pictures, like cloudgazing or stargazing
WOAH the way the dragonflies dive is really cool
Shiiiiit the worm is getting closer, why are they taking so long to get out of the fuckin ship?
Leto is such a good leader, he doesn't care about losing a load of spice even though it's their main source of income, he just wants to make sure his people are safe <3

Aw dammit, killed Dr. Yueh
OH SHIT LETO USED THE TOOTH HELL YEAH GO LETO

Stilgar!! Hello again!
Fuck are they gonna kill her?
Zendayaaaaaa there she iiiiiis!
I'm not sure why Jamis is so determined to fight Paul but I guess that's what's happening now
Damn Paul is a good fighter
Good idea staying with the Fremen, they seem to know what they're doing
OH SHIT THAT GUY IS RIDING A SAND WORM
Ok movie over final thoughts: I liked it i think! It was kinda confusing? I think it will make more sense once the next part(s) come out whenever that is, but the worldbuilding is very interesting! The cinematography was very very good too, I think my favorite part was Paul hiding in the hologram from the tiny bug weapon thing, that was cool

Little Secrets - pt. 3
A/N: I had been writing this for days but I really love the idea of where this is going. Lol. Also, I would like to thank @barkermarkersharker for the lovely idea that I just had to use. Also, this will be more than a three part I guess.
XX
Your father has been dragging James on all sorts of social gatherings all week. He has been excited but also exhausted. He had come home only to eat and sleep, except on Wednesday. That day he went hiking with Sirius before collapsing into his bed.
A rough week for James Potter but it was Saturday and he will soon be home. Sirius and you had been getting along well. You haven't been holding any sort of grudge towards James but you had your moments where you mentioned some sort of remark of the whole keeping you a secret thing.
Now that he is free this week, he can finally help you and Sirius bond.
He came home with a smile on his face, excited that his week of torture was over. He dropped his bag on the hall and ran up stairs. He barged into his room to find Sirius but he was nowhere in sight. He than ran into your room and you weren't there either.
His brows furrowed, his lips turned down and he ran back to the kitchen. "Hey mum." he said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek and grabbed a fry from the bowl. "Where are Sirius and (y/n)?" he asked, sitting down on the chair and looking at the porch, thinking he will maybe see them there.
"Well, they're at the beach, honey." his mum said, furrowing an eyebrow at him. "I thought they told you?"
"No." he replied, a bit disappointed at the answer.
"Well, it was all last minute. (Y/n) woke up earlier than usual and at breakfast both with Sirius decided to go to the beach with some of her friends." she smiled, thinking to that morning. "You and your father were already gone but you two should have seen them together. We were all laughing so hard this morning. They even invited me to come but I said no because what would me be doing there at the beach with all them youngsters." she continued to smile brightly. "They were both so persistent that I really thought they wanted me to come- do you think there could actually happen something between them?" she asked out of curiosity, looking at James.
James however, choked on his fry and started to cough. "What?"
"Sirius and (Y/N). They seem to get along so great. Like they're meant for each other and I wouldn't mind Sirius becoming my son in law. And imagine what gorgeous babies would they have together."
"Oh! Mom!"James stood up, laughing but feeling horrible inside. "Please, stop. (Y/n) is not a wizard and Sirius is. Even if they do get along, they are both meant to live in two completely different world." he started to get a bit agitated, pouring himself a glass of lemonade.
"We all live in two different world, James. If it wasn't for (y/n), your father and I and you wouldn't know about certain, amazing things about Muggles."
"Yeah but!" he turned around, raising his tone and opening his arms to explain something he couldn't even explain to himself yet. "No. No... they're not..."
"I think there is something between them." your mother smiled, meanwhile James only glared at her. "You don't get along with a person that well and think of it as just friendship."
But you liked girls! - James wanted to scream but knew he couldn't have outed you to his parents. You've always preferred girls over guys, anyway. He only remembers one guy from your whole life that you had had an interest in. All the others were girls.
You can't with Sirius. He's... and you are just not right for each other. Just not!
Your mother could see the injustice James felt in his bones right now. He was frustrated with the idea of you and Sirius together. She tried soothe the tension in the air, turning to James and telling him. "Why don't you go to the beach as well? Meet (y/n)'s friends."
"I already know them mum." he pouted.
"You know of them, James. There's a difference. There's nothing wrong with having Muggle friends."
"I know it's just... what am I supposed to tell them if I can't mention magic at all? Like what do Muggles even talk about?"
"There is more to life than just magic, James." was all what your mother said back.
---
James didn't dress much to the beach, since it was quite windy, as per usual. He wore his usual white jeans with a brown belt, white T-shirt and a jean T-shirt blouse with rolled sleeves. He was walking through the beach to find you and Sirius but the two of you were running around like two wild beasts, laughing so loud he could spot you from a mile away.
You were piggy back riding Sirius and he was running from towards a small group of friends. There were another couple, racing the two of you.
The two of you obviously ran. If Sirius was anything athletic, he was fast. That boy ran from every single Prefect, Head Boy, Head Girl, Professor, wolf-Remus, odd forest monsters and Filch in that school. Of course, the two of you won.
He threw himself, and you, on the blanket, both rolling and laughing as well as cheering.
"HELL YEAH!" you raised your palms in the air as Sirius high-fived them both.
"Why are you panting? I was the one carrying you and running."
"Hey, this was a two people effort. I was your moral support up there." you smiled and all of you laughed before Sirius eyes darted to the approaching figure and his smile suddenly fell, then rised up again.
You turned to look and saw your brother approaching the whole lot of you with a faint smile.
"BROTHER!" you jumped to your feet and ran towards him.
"Don't hug me! Don't hug me!" he started to avoid you by running backwards and putting his hand up. "Stay away from this fit."
"Really?" you glowered at him, then kicked sand at him.
"You rat!" he shouted and started to chase you, grabbing you around the waist and lifting you up.
"PUT ME DOWN! NO! NOOOO!!!" you screamed and laughed at the same time because you knew what he was about to do. "You'll wet your shoes!"
"Not if I throw you." he laughed.
"You don't have the strength."
"But I have magic." he grinned and you gasped.
"You prat! You wouldn't."
"Ready?"
"Please don't. DON'T! JAMES!!" he was getting closer to the water, laughing.
"You'll get to clean the dishes for the whole month and the bathroom when it's my turn."
"A WHOLE MONTH?!" you exclaimed. "Hell no! Throw me into the sea. I don't care." you stopped resisting and he let out a laugh, taking a few steps forward and just dropping you into shallow water.
---
You had returned back, completely wet and cold. You grabbed the extra blanket from the ground and plopped yourself down, glaring at him.
"I will murder you when we come home and I will bury you next to Minki."
"Then you'll really have to clean the dishes and bathroom every month."
"I don't care." you turned your head dramatically, before laughing with him.
"Here." said James and gave you his red sweater.
"Thanks." you said ,grabbing it, taking your wet shirt off and putting it back on, later taking off your soaked bra under it. "Thank God, it's summer." you praised under your breath, leaning back on your arm and looking around, seeing both of your friends making googly eyes at your brother.
"So how was the meeting Jamie?"
"Dull." James mimicked your position. "Sooner than later, you realise that all the gatherings and the meetings and the parties have the same system. Talk about old friends and family first, turn to business and end with something like; we'll keep in touch."
"You had your fun then." Sirius smiled but looked at you when he did.
"Any lassies you caught your eye on?" you asked, looking at your friends from the corner of your eye.
"If you didn't come with dad on these gatherings, what makes you think other lassies did?"
"A question, brother. No need to get fussy about it." you said as you wanted to change the subject but Sirius caught you to it.
"OH MERLIN! A PIG!" he shouted and got on his feet. "It's a pig!" he started to jump excitedly.
"Sirius don't you even think about it..." you said but he was already running towards it, scooping the baby pig into his arms and starting to pet it. An old man approached him and the next thing you knew, Sirius was giving the man money, over-excited for the little pink being in his arms.
He ran back to the group and lifted the animal in his arms. "I got a pig!" he said like a little boy who had got himself his first toy.
"Oh my, God."
---
"I like the name Arnold." you said as you continued to pet the little pig next to Sirius, cooing at him.
"For the thousandth time. HER name is Treasure."
"I'll call you Arnold." you said at the pig as it smiled at you and bumped her nose at your fingers.
"Treasure!" he pulled the pig closer and kissed her forehead. "Don't you listen to her, Treasure. She wasn't the one who took you in, she doesn't get to name you." he glowered at you and you stuck your tongue out at him.
Meanwhile James was walking behind the two of you this whole time. Your mother was right. The two of you did get along great, even better than usual and he felt excluded from his two best friends.
And the worst part was that the two of you didn't even notice it. The two of you didn't notice how miserable he was- that was such a selfish thought. He should be happy that the two of you were getting along.
He was arguing with his mind.
"So, Jamie!" you ran back to him and wrapped your arm around his. "You are the tie-breaker. Arnold or Treasure?"
James let out a laugh. "How about Mum-will-kill-you-two?"
"Don't be buzz kill, Prongs. It's Treasure because I had found her and she is the biggest treasure in my life."
"He's turning into mum." James whispered to you but loud enough for Sirius to hear him and narrow his eyes at the two of you.
"Oh, darn. Dad's got two of them now." you started to joke.
"Hope Euphemia won't get jealous." James continued as the two of you snickered.
"Dad's gonna go bankrupt. Has to buy another ring. Should we call you mother now, Sirius?" you raised an eyebrow at him.
He put the pig down and pointed at the you and James. "Treasure. Attack!"
But Treasure just sat on her bum and gave Sirius googly eyes.
"Awww!" he scooped her back up and waddled her. "We should go shopping tomorrow." he smiled at the two of you. "I want Treasure to keep up with fashion."
"Buying her a leather jacket and a curly, black hair wig?"
"Don't you listen to her. You've got pretty pink hair." he kissed her forehead and went into the house.
"You have some weird friends, Jamie." you shook your head.
"They're not weird. It's just him... that's a bit extra..."
"I can still hear the two of you! I am NOT extra!"
---
James has become more fond od Treasure through the evening. He was sitting on his bay window, looking through at the distance where the field stretched into the distance. Treasure was lightly snoring in his lap as his hand was caressing her tiny head into sweeter dreams.
Treasure started to breathe a bit harder during her sleep, so James lightly opened the window and let the summer breeze wash over her. It was almost as that little pig's mouth curved into a thankful smile. Despite the fact how much everybody disagreed on the pig becoming part of the family, James was really thankful for this lovely little being in his lap. He always had a feeling about animals. Even Minki, his mother's old cat, seemed to crawl onto his chest when he was laying and purr over his heart. Mother said it was a miracle because Minki never liked anybody, not even your father or you but through the years, she got a bit softer for everybody.
"Tell me what's on your mind and I'll tell you what's on mine?" James heard Sirius say from the outside.
His attention wavered from the pig to the voices bellow him. He completely forgot his room is right above the porch but he didn't intend to listen.
He heard you laugh and then stop to pause. He knew that pause. "You know today was the first day I saw James jealous of me." you let out a laugh and James furrowed his eyebrows at your statement.
"I wasn't jealous." he whispered to himself. "Was I jealous?" he asked the sleeping pig on his lap, than thought back to today and concluded. "I was maybe a wee jealous."
"How do you know he was jealous?" Sirius asked and you smiled with a roll of your eyes.
"It doesn't take a mind reader to see this." you snorted, than pulled yourself on the fence as you usually did. "Plus whenever he's having angry thoughts the space between his eyebrows furrow and he looks extremely tense. I keep telling him that that is his tell but he never listens."
You were right. You do always tell him about his little tells but he just does them subconsciously.
"I remember before I turned eleven, James would constantly make me jealous by telling me about magic. How he started showing his magic abilities when he was seven and I was ten but didn't even show a tad of it." you started and your voice started to quiver a bit. It was when you started to show your rawest side. You didn't much open up to anybody but when you did, you really went into the most deepest parts of yourself. "When we found out I was a Squib, James stopped with the whole teasing but it was too late, you know? He had already told me about Hogwarts and given me such expectations to be sorted into the same house as him or a Hufflepuff. He loved Hufflepuffs... and I remember crying when Dumbledore told me and my parents that I can attend Hogwarts for magical knowledge but will never be able to preform it. I can never forget the disappointment in my father's eyes. He was so shocked that I was a Squib, it was his reaction that made me cry so hard that day." you continued, speaking in a calm, controlled voice. "I didn't want to stand out in Hogwarts so I said I don't want to. James told me I could still go to Muggle schools and become more magical and successful even if I'm not a wizard and that gave me hope." you smiled and James mathed your smiled from another room, still listening. "Though it always bugged me- the whole Squib thing. We came from such a powerful wizarding family and I was the one who got born without it."
"It happens even to the best of families, (y/n)." Sirius tried to reason but you only smiled. "It happened to my family as well... but... she married a Muggle so... it sort of made sense..."
"Exactly. Both of my parents come from powerful families, that's why it didn't make sense to me and I couldn't understand why nobody did any more research. They all just accepted it."
"But you didn't?"
"No. I didn't." you replied determined. "It didn't make sense to me. It was like a whole family line with black eyes and black hair and black skin existed and all of a sudden a ginger with blue eyes and fair light skin was born to that family. And I know it happens in family but not in this family, you know?" you tried to explain. "And I know James and I are different from each other, thank God. It makes sense because my father's side of the family are all alike, which is from whom James takes it from but my mother's side is diverse, that's why our physical features are so different. Genes. Those genes make sense but magical genes? Wizards marrying wizards in my family and it just didn't make sense to me. I couldn't let it go."
"The stubborn gene." Sirius tried to joke and James snorted at his comment.
"I was always jealous of James. I just never showed it but then I was in London with my friends- it was a school trip- and there was this psychic."
"Oh no."
"I know what you're thinking but let me explain!"
"Muggle Psychics are such a skam."
"Let me explain you broom flying shit."
"Alright. No need to get mean." Sirius backed off, meanwhile James was holding his laughter in the other room.
"Psychics feed off an energy and vibrations. Yes, some are skammers but there was something different with this woman. When we locked eyes through the window, I got this odd shiver down my spine and something about her eyes... it felt so real...
'++ You were standing in front of store and it felt like it was only you and the store in this world. Your friends were nowhere by but that was the last thing on your mind. You had been there and the store and the mere nothingness of the world.
You opened the door, they jingled and spread an odd athmosphere on your body. You didn't know whether you felt anxious or free. Perhaps the feeling of freedom gave you a bit of anxiety as well.
"Come in, child." you heard a voice from another room and before you even took a step, she was already in sight.
She was leaning on the wall, dipping her tea bag into the boiling water. She wasn't like those psychics the television represents. She wore a long dress that was tight around her waist. She was in a nice form and you couldn't figure out whether she was 30 or 40.
"I'm 52." she answered your question before giving you a pleasant smile with beautiful teeth and making her way into another room. "I know, I don't look like it much but that's the power of magic." she continued to say, poking her head out of the room and grinning. "But you would know everything about that, wouldn't you?"
You felt something swallow you but you gathered your thoughts quickly. "Unicorns, fairies... all of them live in my backyard, yes." you said as you also made your way to the room, letting your hand brush the colourful crystals hanging on a silver chains.
"They're all around you, you know?" she smiled and you furrowed your eyebrow at you. "Fairies I mean but they only appear if they want to, that's why you've never seen them. They don't want to appear."
"Alright?" you sounded doubtful.
"Come on, sit."
And you sat.
She sat across from you and opened her hands on the table. "Go on. Give me your hands. You didn't walk in here just to stare at me."
And as soon as you gave her your hands, you felt this magnetic pull towards this woman. It was something you gave her and it was something she gave you back.
Her eyes were closed but the way her lips pursed together and eyebrows furrowed, you knew she was a bit confused. "Oh dear..." she mumbled under her breath but regained her posture and mind. "What we're doing right now are exchanging energies darling. The Universe is responding to it, giving me a download. Whether you believe in the Universe, the energies, vibrations or the Law of Attraction, it does exist. You cannot fight it. It simply exists." she continued to explain and you listened. "Your inner child is in need of healing- I see you still haven't moved on from something that had caused a massive change in your childhood..." she opened her eyes a bit. "Magic?"
"I... I don't have magic."
"Oh, honey. You don't need to move a feather to have magic." she gave you a loving, caring smile. "We all hold magic inside of us. You just have to believe in it."
And it was in the way she spoke that she gave you a large amount of hope. All the anxiety was gone- as if it never existed. You just wanted to stay in there forever.
"I also see you've been troubling yourself with a question for a long time and I'm here to give you an answer..." ++'
"What did she say?!" Sirius exclaimed in anticipation. He was really invested in this whole story, meanwhile you had to take a moment to breathe.
"Well... in the beginning when she said "Oh, dear..." she was referring to the black magic I carried inside all these years." you tried to smile but it squeezed your heart. "I don't have it anymore. I washed it off a year ago but what really made me upset was that if I washed it before I turned eleven, I could be a witch myself." you looked up, trying to show him that you weren't affected by talking about this, though clearly you were.
"What do you mean?"
"When my nana was alive, on my mother's side, she always forbid people to come when mother was pregnant with James and when James was just a baby. When they did come, she would sage the house and search it from head to toe because people could have left omens or something that would do something to a child. Despite the fact that she was a wizard, she was extremely superstitious. At least, that's what mum told me. It annoyed her a bit." you paused. "She died not long after James was born and before I was conceived and Nora, the psychic told me that nana has been protecting both of us from the other world but she couldn't protect me in this world like she had done with James."
"Meaning what? Somebody did black magic on you?" Sirius furrowed his eyebrows meanwhile James was listening up there, just as confused.
"Nora talks to the spirits, and she talked to nana. Nana said that my father's auntie was the one, attempting to put black magic on James but was unsuccessful. Then tried again with me... bringing a whole tea set as a present and Nora said that teas have an enormous power, whether we know it or not. It can heal you but it can also sicken you- herbs an all."
"Yeah, I know. I've been taking Herbology with agony but still listened to it."
"The tea set was cursed and whenever my mother drank from it I would consume the black magic that came with it. It created a blockage for my magic and when I turned eleven, it finally did its job by never letting me use magic at all." you smiled but a tear rolled down your face. "She told me I could still have magic, you know? If I removed the black magic, I'd remove the blockage but there was a catch."
"What?"
"I'd become an Obscurial." you looked at him and his eyes dawned with a loss of hope. "I know, I was disappointed as well. I didn't want ot be an Obscurial and I had already created the Muggle life, accepted it and loved it- so I gave up on magic. I didn't want that kind of magic. I wasn't desperate like I was when I was a kid but still it hurt.- She told me how to get rid of the black magic completely and I had followed every step. I felt lighter afterwards, like something has been lifted off my shoulders. I didn't know I was carrying something so heavy all my life but I felt fantastic after it."
"Did you tell your parents or James?"
"No." you shook your head. "I didn't want to burden them with this knowledge and they already accepted the whole Squib part of me and I got closure as well... knowing that I wasn't picked out of the family. I was just a wee unfortunate." you smiled, looking up at the stars. "Nana said through Nora that she'll always protect us- all of us and she told me that I should try to find my own magic in the world, how special I was and all of those things. Some days, I really do feel like she's with me. Sometimes when we eat together or the days I sit here and look up at the stars." you laughed. "It sounds a bit crazy but-"
"No...it doesn't." Sirius said as he took your hand in his, smiling at this magnificent woman in front of you.
James already closed the window. He couldn't believe what he just heard. He knew your father's auntie was a bit odd but to do black magic on her own family is just fucked up.
He needed to know something. He needed to go to the attic.
Meanwhile you and Sirius were still on the porch. Still so wonderfully living among the stars. You jumped down from the fence and leaned back. Whenever he would touch you, you felt a rush of emotions go through you- those anxious butterflies banding together in your stomach and trying to burst free. Your cheeks would heat up... and whenever Sirius was close, this close, you would even get afraid of what he might do next.
Flirting was one thing for you; fun and easy but when it came to real feelings, that was when you were a complete mess.
Sirius was standing close to you but he didn't touch you. "All that talk about energies..." he started, breathing a bit heavily as he was getting closer to you. "Does that mean we exchange it too?"
"Yeah." you replied with shallow breathing.
"And when I touch you like this..." he said, taking a hold of your hand and lifting it up a bit, interlocking his fingers with you, then looking deep into your eyes. "Do you feel it?"
"I feel it..." you replied, staring into his lips, marvelling at their beauty as your whole body would pulse.
"And now?" he asked, placing his other hand on your hip and pushing you gently on the wooden pillar.
"Uh..." you swallowed thickly as your heart rate started to beat abnormally. "I feel you..."
He pressed his forehead onto yours and started to close the gap between your lips. "Good..." he growled a little and pressed his lips onto yours. His body, hot, pushing you against the pillar, meanwhile his hand on your hip squeezed you tightly, releasing a pleased whimper from your lips. His strong arms would wrap themselves under your thighs and lift you up until they were wrapped around his waist. His kisses deep and passionate caused your head to swirl. Your fingers dug into his curls and tugged on a little, causing a satisfied smile to appear on his lips.
He would pull away for a moment, gaze into your eyes than to your every feature. He would start to remove your hair from your cheek, just to take a closer look at you. You were amazed by his strength. He was holding your whole body weight with one hand that it only made you feel more attracted to the man.
Than before you knew it, something fell on the floor in the living room, making the both of you jump and look who had just caught you.
"Oh, bloody hell!!" Sirius gasped. "Treasure, what the hell?" he looked at the pig as the pig happily jumped towards him.
"I think she's a bit jealous." you giggled, meanwhile Sirius scooped the little being into his arms.
"Does this look jealous to you?" he turned her towards you and the pig was simply enjoying the little belly rub, smiling at you as well and trying to sniff you.
"I still can't believe my parents didn't allow me to have a fish but allowed you to bring a whole pig home."
"I think you're the one jealous." he raised an eyebrow meanwhile you rolled your eyes.
"I could never be... especially of this gorgeous little piggy." you rubbed her belly as well as she let a few pleased squeeks.
"I thought Prongs was babysitting you?" he tol her. "We shall find him, shan't we?"
---
However, James was sitting in the dark attic, surfing through old boxes of his grandparents things. Especially his nana's, which he regretted a bit when he pulled out old lingerie.
"Oh, ew..." he quickly threw it away. "I did not need to know that." he surfed through the old box, finally finding what he has been looking for...

Hiiii! I really like your writing and asked one before annnd I'm here again with another idea? I guess? Lol so um how about writing a Hogwarts graduation party and Sirius and Remus are so excited to go with eachother? They are getting ready separated all day and will meet at the ball.. I would really like to read a Hogwarts graduation ball from you. Thank you already and don't forget that you're amazing 💞💞
Thank you!! This is super late and way longer than I meant it to be lol,, but I hope you like it! And I’m sorry!
* * *
“Lily, stop. I’m not wearing it.” Remus stomped his foot and turned from Lily. She rolled her eyes at his dramatic display and put a hand on Remus’ shoulder to spin him. He glared down at the eyeliner pencil in her hand. She looked at him until he locked eyes with her.
“Remus, please?” He shook his head. “Okay how about this. I put it on, you hate it, we take it off. Piece of cake.” Remus raised his eyebrows at Lily. “But,” she continued, “if you like it, we keep it. Yeah? It’s a win-win situation,” she finished, smiling. It was Remus’ turn to roll his eyes.
“Fine,” he said. “Fine, But I’m going to hate it.” Lily just nodded and motioned for Remus to sit.
* * *
“Jamie, which shirt?” Sirius held up two white shirts, both of which looked identical in James’ opinion.
“What?” he asked. Sirius blinked.
“Which shirt?” he repeated. James furrowed his brows, pulling on his robes and straightening the collar. He looked at the shirts again.
“They’re the same shirt,” he said, the sentence more a question than a statement. Sirius sputtered.
“They’re—James—no—are you kidding me—they are nothing alike!” he finally spat out. James’ eyes widened behind his glasses. “This one,” Sirius said, shoving his right arm forward, “has lace trimming!” He widened his eyes. James flinched and cringed away from the lace but from the look Sirius gave him, he stood straight again.
“Lace,” he said skeptically and Sirius rolled his eyes. He pulled the dress shirt on, though, and started working at the buttons. James went back to fixing his collar.
* * *
Remus didn’t hate the eyeliner. He so much did not hate it. Lily was grinning down at him from where she was standing above his seated figure, holding the mirror up in front of him. He kept blinking, not quite used to...well, liking himself. He said as much to Lily, who flicked him.
“Shut up, Lupin, you’re hot,” she said, pulling the mirror away from him and placing it back on her bedside table. Remus scoffed. “No, really,” she said. “Plenty of the girls in our year have had a crush on you,” she finished, shoving the makeup drawer closed. Remus decided he didn’t want to talk about it. Not when only one person mattered tonight.
Remus was new to all of this—all of...Sirius. So far they’d shared an awkward conversation full of gay epiphanies, a broom closet or two and snatches of the empty dorm walls where they could share breaths and tangled limbs. They hadn’t been on a real, literal, actual date yet. Remus felt jittery. On edge. Full of hope. Lily laughed at the glint in his eyes. He flicked those said eyes over to her.
“What?” he asked, trying to sound bitter but failing with the sweet thought of Sirius on his mind. Lily grinned wider and leaned toward the mirror, pinning back a stray piece of hair.
“Nothing,” she mused, “I just...” she paused for a moment and only when her hair was successfully pinned back did she continue. “It’s finally happening,” she settled on. Remus furrowed his brow. “Remus and Sirius. Seventh year. About time,” she said. Remus laughed and rolled his eyes.
“Says you, Miss ‘I’d rather date the giant squid,” he said, and Lily grimaced. “Miss ‘never in a million years, Potter.” Miss ‘you’re a right gi—“
“I get it,” Lily cut in, flicking Remus again despite the amusement dancing in her eyes. “But look at us, huh? Lupin and Evans, going to the ball with Potter and Black.” Remus grinned, not able to help it. He was happy. Despite the war, despite the nearing full moon, despite everything, he was happy.
* * *
“Oh shit, hold on,” Sirius said, sticking a hand to James’ chest to stop him in his tracks. Sirius turned back and ran into the dorm, reappearing with his wand before quickly tucking it into the eccentric braided updo he’d configured earlier. James gave Sirius’ wrist a small tug.
“We’re gonna be late, Padfoot,” he comaplined, looking down the stairs. “And I have an extremely smoking hot redhead waiting for me—ow!” He yelled when Sirius hit his wrist. “What in Merlin’s name was that for?” he asked, following Sirius when he started down the stairs.
“‘Smoking hot’? Don’t be a dick,” Sirius said, straightening his dress robes. James scoffed.
“I was complimenting her,” he said, but cringed at the immediate defense. Sirius did too.
“So say her eyes are pretty, don’t objectify her,” Sirius retorted. They’d reached the bottom of the steps while James was muttering an apology.
* * *
Lily and Remus were waiting for the both of them outside the doors to the Great Hall when they got there. The first thing anyone said came from James.
“Hey, Lilypad, sorry for objectifying you,” he said. Lily raised an eyebrow while Sirius looked smug.
“You’re bout 6 years too late for that, Potter, but I’ll take it,” she said. Sirius barked a laugh, nudging James. Sirius. Oh wow.
Sirius in his dress robes was...really something. His dark hair was braided back into a twisted bun, loose enough for a few strands of it to fall around his face. His face. Merlin, Sirius’ face was so fucking pretty. His eyelashes casting light shadows on his face when he blinked, his lips quirked up in a smirk at James and Lily, the eyeliner darkening his eyes, it was all too much. No, it was enough. More than enough. Remus shook his wrist like the movement might clear his head. He looked back over to Sirius and did quite the opposite. His head was flooded with every shared touch, every breath hot against his skin, every fingernail dug into his back—he blinked. Blinked again. Sirius walked forward.
“Hey,” he whispered, looking Remus up and down. Remus smiled at the wink Sirius threw him. “Is that eyeliner?” he asked, a hint of approval in his voice. Another couple walked by, opening the Great Hall doors and letting some music out with it. Remus hadn’t realised that Sirius might be... affected by how he looked. He knew Lily looked stunning, he could understand why James was still half-frozen in front of her, just taking her in.
Her hair fell down around her shoulders, the top half tied back in twists and braids Remus was sure even Sirius would be jealous of. The dark green dress she was wearing was really it though. It matched her eyes and hugged her body, flaring out just slightly at the hips, reaching down to her ankles to where she was wearing a golden pair of heels, the thin straps buckled all over her ankles. The gold paired nicely with the green of the dress and she had on golden make up, a golden bracelet and, a necklace that Remus hadn’t seen before. It had a golden snitch on it. Remus smirked, knowing that would have been from James, knowing he doesn’t play seeker whatsoever so it was a stupid idea. Lily grinned when she caught Remus’ eye, though, and reached her hand up to touch the necklace, almost unknowingly. Remus smiled and turned back to Sirius.
“Lily made me,” he said. It was partly the truth. Sirius loosed a breath, grinning.
“Well I am... glad she did,” he said, and Remus laughed. He reached out for Sirius’ hands, taking them in his inbetween them. His eyes tracked the rings, glinting on his fingers, the dark polish that adorned his nails, down to the cuffs of Sirius’ dress shirt. He smiled.
“Is that lace?” he asked, fiddling with the lace trimming on his cuffs. Sirius smiled proudly.
“Prongs didn’t want me to wear it,” he said, shooting James a glare. James was too entranced in Lily’s eyes to notice. They were mumbling to each other, all soft smiles and light touches. Remus smiled and turned back to Sirius.
“I’m glad you did,” he said, and Sirius smiled back. He reached his arm forward to brush a curl from Remus’s eyes and Remus shuddered. “Come on,” he said and pulled Sirius after him. Sirius obliged and tapped James’ shoulder, getting both his and Lily’s attention. They opened the doors together.
* * *
Remus’ face shone in the blue lighting as him and Sirius swayed to the song playing in the Great Hall. That eyeliner was doing things to Sirius. Things he’d been suppressing all damn night. Seventh year. It was seventh year and they were graduating and Sirius was holding Remus in his arms. Remus smiled slightly, wrapping his arms tighter around Sirius’ neck and pulling him closer. The few inches of space between them was gone, and Sirius positively melted. Remus’ tawny curls were nestled against Sirius’ neck, his scarred fingers running patterns back and forth smoothly along Sirius’ throat. Sirius lifted one hand from Remus’ hip and ran his fingers through those curls, soft and tangled in his hands. Remus moved his head back only enough to look Sirius in the eyes. When he spoke, his voice was strained from the yelling and singing from the night.
“I’m happy,” Remus said simply. Sirius couldn’t help the grin that spread over his face. Remus smiled back in result of it. They were so close their noses were almost touching when Sirius whispered back.
“Me too.” Remus closed the gap between them, pulling his hands tighter around Sirius’ neck and still swaying them slowly to the music. Remus tasted like punch and salted cashews and his lips were soft against Sirius’. Sirius really was happy. He was so, inexplicably happy. When Remus pulled away, Sirius twirled him, warranting an unexpected laugh that Sirius felt all over once Remus’ chest was back against his. Sirius glanced over to James and Lily, seated at one of the tables and laughing. Seventh year was good, but Sirius was sure that the next few were going to be even better.

Interesting. Another week where I liked all the X-books that came out. Must’ve been cuz there was no Duggan in the mix.
New Mutants was one of the better issues since Ayala took over. I haven’t loved all of their issues, though enjoyed them for the most part, but this one I could really see everything start to come together that they’ve been seeding from their start. I wanna reread once next issue comes out and see whether it works better overall to read the full arc in one sitting. Also it might be that the Otherworld stuff was a forced detour they had to make and that threw off the pacing. We’ll see.
But the kids with Gabby was such a sweet moment, and its so nice to see them all on the same side when it comes to Farouk......but Farouk’s motivations and the little interlude about the boy call back to Ayala’s first issue and it looks like the suspicions laid back then were true. Its almost certain that the Shadow King is actually an amalgamation or even just a full on puppet of an Amenthi demon who merged with or possessed Amahl Farouk as a child and using him as a host, has been all about trying to make this world match the one it came from, based on the same ideals Annihilation espoused.
Basically, Amahl is not the same as the Shadow, the Shadow is trying to turn Krakoa into a new version of Arakko, and if I’m interpreting one panel of the art right, I think Xi’an (who seemed to have her suspicions back at the start of this arc too) just sensed another presence for the first time - and she’s the one who knows the Shadow King’s psyche best after all - and she’s figured out that there’s a separate Amahl Farouk consciousness hidden somewhere inside him. And given that second ‘demonstration’ interlude and the fact that the New Mutants are now nowhere to be found in the Shadow King’s mindscape, I’m guessing she managed to shunt them from the part the Shadow King controlled, into whatever part the original boy Amahl is hiding in.
Excalibur was one of its better issues. I’m far more interested in the politics of Otherworld than the political shit in X-Force, Mordred being a mutant is an actually interesting twist, and the idea that Arthur is making his son’s betrayal a self-fulfilling prophecy by attacking mutantkind because he believes Mordred will inevitably side with them as a mutant has some interesting possibilities. It was also unexpectedly....nice, to see like, the whole family Braddock fighting on the same side for probably the first time ever, lol, from Betsy to Brian to Meggan to Jamie.....Jim Jaspers remains a wildcard I’m wary of because like, lol I’ve read the original stories of him and it seems this writer has too, and I want someone to bring up that he’s keeping Redroot captive and make some kind of issue about that, especially now that Death has been brought back into the mix and Betsy’s offered to help him escape Sevalith.
(Only to have him say no, he’s working - lol anyone else think Death’s trying to pull off a one-man coup and take over Sevalith for mutantkind and do his Daddy Dearest proud? Or given that he’s obviously still crushing on Ororo, even after - well I mean, probably BECAUSE she kicked his ass and left him for dead.....I could TOTALLY see them playing this as like, part of some weird courtship attempt of his. The only way he feels he can woo her as an equal is to come to her with a kingdom of his own or some shit like that. Idk, we’ll see. He’s definitely up to something though, but I do believe him when he says that ultimately he’s on the same side as the rest of them).
I liked that they haven’t forgotten about the other Rogue, Gambit and Rictor Captains, I liked Roma’s conversation with Jubilee about Shogo and the foreshadowing there, as well as Jubilee’s response and her clear conflict.....Merlyn can fucking die in a fire already, please and thank you, ugh, enough with this old shithead.....oh I LOVED that someone is FINALLY doing something with Bei, and it does make sense for it to be Excalibur though I figured it would’ve happened in New Mutants by now. But she and Shatterstar make a fun odd duo, and actually Star’s comment to Brian about being a new friend too like, lol, okay, I’m kinda here for a trio of Brian, Star and Bei to be like a Krakoan Warrior Three who are all united by their perspective as like, lifelong combatants and being outsiders among the rest of Krakoa even if Shatterstar and Bei are technically still mutants too. It makes sense.
Hmm, what else. Would love to see Bei’s thoughts on Death and Redroot, all things considered, and have something to do with those plotlines in the future. And really in general I’m here for this big all-kingdom smackdown with Sevalith, Hothive, Mercador, the Furies and Merlyn’s kingdom all arrayed against Krakoa and Avalon. Of course, these are still only the Foul Kingdoms. Roma and the rest of the Fair Kingdoms so far don’t seem to have any real problem with witchbreed....but this arc is still only getting started. Still waiting for Mordred’s inevitable entrance....curious to see what his power is, and especially if HE even knew he was a mutant before now.
Also: JULIO AND SHATTERSTAR CUDDLES. WE HAVE WAITED 84 YEARS FOR THIS.
And as for Hellions....
Okay, I didn’t actually love Hellions, its kinda on...layaway. I liked a lot of the fallout of last issue, I liked that the stakes are so apparent here, but I’m gonna be bothered by a lot of stuff unless there’s some kind of plot twist that reveals that Kwannon’s daughter is still alive somehow. Like maybe Sinister lied about not having another back-up JUST to ensure he still had one last card to bargain with up his sleeve since he lost the ‘in’ he had with the Hellions now, and with the Council now aware of his secret experiments with Arraki DNA (and bringing Tarn down on their heads in a way that COULD have started a full on war with them if Ororo hadn’t handled it for them)....like point is, all eyes are going to be on him for awhile now and he has very few cards left to play or people in his corner, so I’m HOPING that there’s another plot twist coming in the last couple issues there.
Because if Kwannon’s daughter is ACTUALLY dead....it really doesn’t sit well with me that the first real mutant death in an age of literal immortality for the rest of them (since even Gorgon and Rockslide technically are still alive in SOME sense)....like for that to be Kwannon’s daughter, the only real innocent in all of this, and having been held hostage to this storyline the whole time, and only existing to force Kwannon’s hand in all of this....yeah. No. Thank you, do not like, that better not be all there is to this. I never trust anything Sinister says as a general rule, so I’m not gonna believe him about that having been the only back-up of her daughter until its wholly proven otherwise.
Other thoughts.....I like that Emma knows that she fucked up, I like that Emma DID have her own kinda failsafe in place because she didn’t trust Sinister for shit, I like that she was RIGHT not to trust Sinister for shit and that her fail-safe stopped even worse shit from happening....I DON’T like that her fail-safe literally just made Alex a weapon of mass destruction with no awareness he even was one and someone else’s hand (let alone fucking MANUEL’S on the trigger)....I DON’T like Emma looking all pained at how devastated Alex is when that was the inevitably outcome of this particular failsafe, like sorry Emma but if what it did to Alex was really that big a problem for you, you should have found a different failsafe.....and I REALLY REALLY don’t like Emma effectively just offering up Maddy’s resurrection as essentially a bribe to ‘fix’ what had happened to HIM, like....if you guys could have made the case for Maddy’s resurrection before now, it should have been for Maddy’s sake, not as like....a cheer-up tactic for fucking Alex, and DEFINITELY not to ‘fix’ a mess that still resulted in Kwannon’s daughter’s death (unless of course there’s a twist there).
Oh and I also meant to say there BETTER be fallout once Scott discovers Emma and Manuel’s role in all of this. I could definitely see Scott like, interceding on John’s behalf if he manages to pull of killing Empath, because like....he’d kinda want to do it himself. This is one of those times where I REALLY wish they’d spend more time developing where Gabe fits in with the Summers brothers now, relationship wise, because like, just show him giving any kind of shits for Alex as his older brother like, at all, and you can EASILY justify Gabe going full wrath-of-omega-mutant on Empath, and what’s the Council gonna do to one of their prized omega mutants, especially one who’s already been imprisoned on Krakoa for Xavier’s mistakes in decades past?
Actually damn, now THERE’S a consequence-arc I’d love to see, because imagine Gabe helping John go after Empath, and then the Council really trying to throw HIM in the Hole for that, and then Scott being like uh no, remember the events of Deadly Genesis? The fuck I’m gonna stand by and allow that, Xavier you still owe him for that shit, especially since this resurrected version of him never did all the shit Emperor Vulcan did, at least as far as he knows. Or THEN ALSO I could see him getting Storm to back him up on this and she gets the Arraki to be like, well we owe this mutant a debt of gratitude for his role in making our new home, and actually his actions sound totally acceptable, we’re honestly not sure what the problem is, actually he sounds more like us than you so we’re happy to offer him sanctuary, and then the Council would shit their pants because they don’t want to lose an omega mutant to their war-like cousins since you KNOW more than a few of them are making contingencies in case they ever have to fight them again, and like, it’d split the loyalties of the entire Summers Clan in doubt and just...tons of story possibilities there. Lots to consider.
Eh, that’s not where they’re going with this at all though, so whatever. I’ll actually be really surprised if they do end up writing John as managing to successfully kill Empath.
Last thoughts.....this was weirdly the first time they EVER made me give a crap about Nanny? They managed to make me more interested in her in one issue than they have in her previous thirty-five years of existence, gave her more DEVELOPMENT in one issue than in all of that time, and when she was willing to sacrifice her just to save the orphanage from being destroyed I was like, holy shit. I....like...her?
And then they fucking ruined it all the very next page with how they had her react to Peter, and their ominous as fuck final epitaph. I’ll wait on deciding my full thoughts and feelings about that, and see just WHAT Peter ends up doing as a result....I have a feeling things are not going to end well for him and we might be close to seeing the last of him, especially with the inferences they’ve made about how destructive Peter’s true power is - whatever the hell it actually is. Like, Peter, at least, I can see the Council being more than willing to leave in the Hole, or just....put at the back of the resurrection queue for the rest of eternity. Which is shitty but would be perfectly in keeping with them and also I don’t actually know what he’s going to do yet.....like, is it going to be some bullshit like HE tries to destroy the Nursery or some shit because Nanny wanted to save it, or more likely is it gonna be something like he goes to the Right and betrays Krakoa or whatever and gives them valuable intel or something like that? Idk.
Finally - YES MADDY’S COMING BACK. And she’s gonna be pisssssssed. Like, I don’t see how they’re planning to approach that, like....I’m expecting Xavier to try some serious editing on her back-up to maneuver WHICH point in time Maddy will come back remembering up to, because uh....that’s gonna matter a lot. But since this is all happening against his objections in the first place, and this seems more like Emma’s personal crusade to try and make up for her part in all this, I wouldn’t be surprised if Maddy comes back with full memories up to her most recent back-up.....which means she’s going to still be full on hating all of them, being like FUCK Krakoa AND your amnesty for all mutants I just want you all to burn, and oh yeah, on TOP of all that its inevitable she’s going to find out how much some of them FOUGHT to keep her from being resurrected, like....? Oh there is like only a 1 or 2% chance this ends any way other than TERRIBLY for everyone concerned.
(And yet I still hope they pull it off, because I don’t want her back just for one or two more issues, I want her back longterm. Ideally, I’d love her to take Jean’s place on the Council and pull it off with the support of like Mystique and Emma and Destiny and others as a giant fuck you to Xavier, but I’d also settle for her ditching Krakoa for Arakko and being like these are more my kinda people and also you can’t do shit to me here).
Oh and PS - lolololololol forever at Hank fucking McCoy trying to give Emma shit for her actions here. Like I mean, at least he’s AWARE he has literally no leg to stand on, whatsoever? I mean, I guess there’s that? But still. LMFAO OMG SHUT UP HANK YOU LITERALLY DON’T GET TO SAY SHIT ABOUT ANYONE ELSE BEING SHADY EVER.
Edit: Oh and also I forgot - I need to know how MUCH the Council found out about Sinister’s experiments, in particular if they found out he was ALREADY experimenting with making chimera mutants, like way ahead of schedule according to Moira’s LAST life in Powers of X, when like, the chimera mutants were a recent development as of a full hundred years in the future from now. Like, that changes a LOT and I would love to know what Xavier, Moira and Magneto think of that accelerated timetable and how it might change things.

Tyler is throwing a party at his place tonight after his team encouraged him to do it before the playoffs next week. And him, being the party animal that he is couldn’t resist that. So he took care of everything a few hours before the party, invited a few friends and now here they are.
He’s now leaning against the fridge and watching you from across the room with a small smile attached to his face. Not paying any attention to what his friends are saying at the moment.
You’re talking with a few of the team's girlfriends, looking as pretty as ever. Dressed in a simple black tight-fitting calf-length dress with a slit on the right that stops on your mid-thigh. Giving him a great view of your soft leg. Trade your usual air force 1 sneakers for a pair of silver heels and let your long dark hair fall back instead of putting it into a bun or a ponytail like you always do. His eyes trail up and down your body over and over, even stopping to stare at your full breasts longingly because honestly, that dress is doing a great job at complimenting your chest.
His heart swells when he sees you with his signature ‘TS’ snapback on your head. He does notice that you may have taken an interest in that specific material and loves to steal it but he doesn’t care. if others did it, he’d probably have a problem with it (even if it’s his sister) but he let it slide cause it’s you.
“You have been staring at her for God knows how long and it’s getting pretty disgusting so stop eye-fucking Y/N and talk to us.” Jamie interrupts Tyler’s daydream about you, making the others laugh in agreement,
Tyler shakes his head but a soft smile remains on his face, bringing the cold beer to his lips before taking a few gulps. “Fuck off, Benn.”
“Are you two dating or something? I mean, I’ve been watching the two of you for months now and you two sure are flirty as hell.” Bishop adds, knitting his eyebrows in curiosity,
He can only give him a shrug as his eyes stay fixated on you. Watching you throw your head back with a laugh, making his grin grow wider. “Nothing is going on between us.”
“Yeah yeah sure, not buying that bullshit.” Jamie snickers, nudging Bishop’s stomach with his elbow as if asking him if he agreed. “I mean I don’t blame you, she’s pretty hot. Wouldn’t mind getting a bit closer with her, if you know what i mean”
Tyler’s quick to crane his neck and stare at his friend, a deep frown forming on his forehead. “Don’t get any fucking ideas”
His tone is heavy and aggressive, not to mention possessive. His hand grips tightly around the bottle as the thought of Benn’s wanting to have you is making his blood boil. He may be his best friend, but when it comes to you, he doesn’t play around.
Jamie laughs, clapping his hand on Tyler’s shoulder. “I’m just messing with you, man. Well except the ‘she’s hot’ part because she is.” And Tyler is about to open his mouth to tell him to ‘back off’ but Jamie cuts him off. “But you know i wouldn’t do that, i’m your -- Jesus, stop glaring at me like that man, I’ll back off” Benn chuckles, shaking his head in disbelief at how protective he is of you (even though he isn’t your boyfriend).
“Yeah yeah,” Tyler waves him off, turning his gaze back on you. Winking as he sees you turn around and meet his eyes, seeing you giggle at him. As a response, you form your lips into a pout and give him an air kiss, accompanied by the ‘mwah’ sound just to be playful with him.
He chuckles, waving his hand at you before you turn your attention back to the girls. Leaving him only to stare at you again with a lovey-dovey smile.
“Christ, you’re whipped.” Bishop puffs out a breath, seemingly cannot believe that his friend is that hooked with you. And he doesn’t even know why (because he can’t tell what is going on with the two of you). “You never do this with other girls.”
“Of course i don’t. I don’t know them like i know Y/N.” Tyler defends, looking at his friend before sipping on his beer. “They’re just casual fucks.”
“How about Kate then?”
He groans internally, shooting daggers at Jamie who has his hands up in surrender. “That’s a long time ago, you sure you wanna bring that shit up?”
“All I’m saying is that you didn’t even look at Kate like you did to her,” He says as a matter of factly, pointing at the long-haired woman from across the room. “You’re definitely in love.”
Rolling his eyes, he shakes his head. “No, I'm not. We’re just friends. And yeah maybe i like to stare at her at most times but--”
“All the time” Bishop chimes,
He shoots a glare to his friend’s way before continuing, “But nothing is happening between us. Dude, she’s pretty as fuck. Catches me off guard sometimes and yeah sounds creepy if i said i like to stare at her all-time but can you blame me?” He defends, gesturing to you with his hand. He probably shouldn’t be straight forward and be too honest about giving you compliments right now but he blames it on the beers and couple of shots he took earlier.
The two men snort and laugh, exchanging glances with each other that says ‘are you seeing this?’ look on both of his eyes.
“Okay man, we get your point.”
Tyler relaxes, looking back at you again and he honestly can’t help himself. The way your dress is hugging your body perfectly, especially your backside and deep red lipstick you have on are doing things to him right now.
“Alright, i’ll talk to you guys later. Don’t destroy anything.” He says, putting down the empty beer bottle and starts walking over to your place without waiting to hear his friend's response.
He bites onto his lower lip as he gets closer, your eyes turn to him when you see him coming towards you. Smiling widely when his broad body softly pressing against your side.
“Ladies, mind if i steal this pretty lady for a while?” He asks, looking over at them while cocking his eyebrows.
They all smirk as if knowing what is gonna happen. “Of course, play safe kids.” The blonde-haired one wink at you before dragging the other girls away.
You chuckle softly at her, feeling Tyler’s hand around your waist as he guides you to his granite counter, leaning your back against it.
“Hi, Tyler” You smile at him, taking a couple sips of your alcohol beverage,
“Hello, sweetheart” He grins, keeping a firm grip on your waist as he stares at you intently. “You look so fucking beautiful tonight.”
Giggling, you try to cover your cheek so he can’t see you blush. “Thank you and you don’t look too bad yourself.”
You give him a once over, clad in a plain black tee that shows off a good amount of his tattoo sleeves. This is one of the things you find so sexy about him, he makes them so attractive without coming off wack. You like to trace your fingers across them.
“And I see you got my cap on, a sneaky little thing. I was looking for it this morning” He playfully scolds you,
You giggle again, poking out your tongue. “You know it’s my favorite thing of yours” turning the cap around on your head so it won’t block your vision
He arches a brow, pulling you a bit closer to him. “Really? I thought you said it’s my dick?”
Gasping in surprise, you smack him on the chest, causing him to release a loud laugh. “Don’t ruin the moment, Seguin”
“What moment are you speaking of?”
“Just doing this” You gesture with your finger, setting one of your palms on the table to keep you steady as the other grip on his shoulder “I really like being close with you.”
“I like it too. You’re driving me crazy you know that? Got the boys teasing me and shit because of that.” He murmurs, running his hand tenderly across your soft cheek in which you lean against it. “God, what is it from you that gets me like this, hm?”
Smiling at him, you shrug innocently. “I’m just very very convincing and alluring. That gets the men to keep falling on their knees as soon as I step into the room. Also, black magic. Did you know that I use that on you too?”
He chuckles at your return, obviously joking because he knows you like to add sarcasm to everything you say. That’s one of the reasons he likes you.
“Hmm” He smiles tenderly at you, unaware of the looks he’s getting from Benn and Bishop as they watch the two. “Anyway, why did you straightened your hair tonight? Not that i have any problem with it. But you said to me you’re laying off the heat though.”
“Wanna look extra extra pretty tonight for you. it was exhausted though, considering on how long my hair is” You laugh, finally taking off the cap and putting it on him as you run your hand through your locks. “Do i look pretty?” Batting your lashes at him.
“Stop playing baby, you know i always think you do” he leans a bit forward and peck your forehead. “And sexy as fuck too, Jesus. Why didn’t you wear this dress often around me?” He stares down at your dress.
“Because you prefer me naked around you.” You say in an obvious tone, seeing his eyes close and breathe out a laugh.
“True. You do look sexy when you’re naked though.” He states in a soft voice, his hand goes down to rest it against your plump ass giving it a squeeze. “Especially when i eat you out.”
“Easy tiger” You chuckle but secretly loves it when Tyler gets blunt with you in public. “You can have me later” you promise,
He groans, pouting at you. Resisting to give him a kiss on the lips. “When is later? I’m getting impatient baby.” Tugging you closer so your chest is pressing against his and he sneaks a glance down there. “And your tits are making it even harder for me.”
Throwing your head back, you laugh at his behaviour. “You have a party to host, you know? You’re being irresponsible if you want to leave just so we can fuck.”
“I don’t care, i want you right now. You’re making my dick hard the minute you stepped into the room. Don’t blame me for it.” He reasons, pressing his forehead against yours. “What do you say, baby?”
You tilt your head to the side, smiling up at him as you chew on your lip. Feeling yourself getting wet now that he’s looking at you like that. His eyes moving to your lips for a moment before looking back up.
“Want to taste your sweet pussy” He whispers hotly against your ear causing you to shiver, “You bouncing on my cock as you scream out my name” he continues,
You suddenly let out a soft moan, not realizing him smirking against your cheek. “You want that, hm? Get high while we fuck too, maybe?”
Nodding your head as you let out a hum, squeezing tightly on his shoulders as a sign for him to take you upstairs now. “Yes, please, Daddy”
Soon as the name slips out of your mouth. He’s a fucking goner. Body freezes and eyes turn into lust as he slowly retreats to get a good look at you. Your gaze saying that you are pleading at him so desperately for it.
“Want you to fuck me. I need it, i’m getting wet for you”
His jaw clenches as he looks around, making sure no one is watching. Good thing, the people in here are too busy talking with each other, being drunk and dancing to Biggie’s ‘Big Poppa’. Mostly his friends because they are the ones he needs to look out for.
He looks back at you as your lips turn into a pout
“Mhmm, don’t worry. i’m gonna fuck you so hard you won’t be able to walk the next morning princess”

⭐️ I’m curious about about a “directors cut” for Let’s Have Some Gentle Fun and Captain Bucheon as well.
Jamie, not gonna lie but if I had to guess what youd be asking about, I would say these two! I feel like I owe you with the "Lets have some gentle fun" one shot since it was for you ㅠㅠ (this will be long, sorry)
Directors cut for: Lets Have Some Gentle Fun
(Can I just say I want to explore Jiyongs character in this one? lol totally unrelated but still... "Dragon" and his own adventures haha)
Baekhyun smiled at you kindly, his eyes following your movements the entire time despite having a beautiful chick sitting on his thighs. Gulp. Those thighs.
“Thank you,” he made sure to say, when you stood up to your full length. Shooting him a very pressed, almost painful smile, you nodded once, accidentally meeting his gaze that you thought was not on you any longer.
You were wrong. But were you wrong as well when you always felt electricity curse down your veins whenever you would look at each other? Was the attraction just from your side? Why was he so hard to approach yet so easy to talk to once you actually managed to spike up a conversation?
Right. Your friends always snatched him away. While he was the center of the circle, you were the edge; the misunderstood one yet always invited. Doing chatty-chats with the famous ones in the circle of your friends seemed to be hard because if they didn’t really vibe with you, they’d made sure you could feel it. Baekhyun not once did, yet his apologetic smiles whenever someone wanted to talk to him when he was about to start a conversation with you, hurt more than any of your other friends’ attitude.
Reciprocating his stare a little longer, you finally turned, thinking he would be paying attention to the pretty lady on his lap. Yet again, you were wrong. He was looking even when you were far gone and back to the bar to continue your shift.
Okay, stop here. This right here screams interest and Baekhyuns badly hidden attraction towards OC. He had been doing that in other scenes where he stares at her and says words that clearly mean his interest, but there is something holding him back which is his girlfriend; the one sitting on his lap, the one who will appear at the end of the storyline. Meanwhile, OC isnt as focused on his girlfriend, as she is on the reality of everyone stealing him away from her. Baekhyun can only offer apologetic smiles - why is that? OC can only interpret that as his disinterest; he isnt much different than the others. Baekhyun is being very vague again in the next scene:
“You have a man here?”
Both of you were quiet now. He was staring into your eyes, something so hard for you to decipher flashing in those deep orbs. His eyes seemed almost black, swallowing up every light that dared to enter including you.
“It’s what you all think about me, isn’t it?” you mumbled quietly. “That I bring men home, that I’m the quiet before the storm. I know that’s what you all say behind my back. I’m just living up to your knowledge.”
Baekhyun’s face became unreadable. His features evened out. “Way to ruin the mood.”
You laughed. “Whatever mood you’re talking about-“
Baekhyun made OC believe there was something happening between them in that moment. He is always unconsciously flirting with her, making baby steps to get to know OC better; it felt like he put the blame on her when in reality, he is the taken man and he is the one never offering more. And he had the audacity to act hurt at the idea of her having someone there?
He stepped closer, silencing you right away. “I know people are judgemental fucks but I would have always said otherwise about you.”
“Meaning?”
He gave you a lopsided smirk, not reaching his eyes. “I can hardly judge you when I know so little about you. I never believe those rumors and you shouldn’t give a damn either. If anything, you’re the most intriguing among our friends.”
He couldn’t tell, but breath hitched in your throat from the way his eyes were drinking you up, their intensity burning every sane thought you could produce. “Then why do you always yield to those friends? We had many chances to talk. But it wasn’t me who always turned around at the last moment.”
The tension was almost palpable when you were looking up at him.
He didn’t reply and you realized the headache you were gifted with today. Sighing tiredly, you smiled up. “Whatever. Don’t answer that. Go. I bet your girlfriend is waiting.” When he didn’t move, you snorted a laugh. “Why are you even baking at this hour? You’ll be late to work.”
Poor OC. Baekhyun was darn lucky she decided to speak up and not let him answer. He wouldnt be able to offer anything she would want to hear in that moment. I really liked these scenes because they set the diversity of Baekhyuns character, they set up the confusion, and at the same time they are enhancing OCs struggle with her crush towards him. She knows she cant have him, and she also thinks Baekyhun is just like her other friends, while she has no clue the man is attracted to her. Just for the funsies - we dont know whether he actually meant it, or whether he just wanted his desire to be satiated by her as a one night stand. I still love this plotline so much! And I think it is the most realistic kind of crush - from OCs side and from Baekhyuns side.
Directors cut: Captain Bucheon
“Then why would you do it if you don’t want to do it?” he asked, genuinely confused.
“Because I’m in the student council,” you replied almost in a whine. “They asked me and I couldn’t say no!” You threw your arms around, making it sound like a big deal. And for you, it was a big deal. You didn’t like how you were easily pushed around.
Baekhyun nodded, a small smile stretching his lips when he saw your comprehension. Sweet university life. “You must be very liked by everyone.”
You froze at that. That wasn’t true. How would you tell your ex the reason everyone was all over you was because you had huge tits and you were friends with Chul? “It’s not like that…”
Baekhyun nodded, noting your discomfort but deciding against questioning it. He didn’t think he was anywhere near the position to stick his nose into your business. For all he knew, he’d scare you away like that time in the bar but, frankly, he didn’t even utter a single word that night to give you a reason for your abrupt fleeing.
“So you run here often, huh,” he heard you say and then saw you shuffling your feet, the small stones of the track field rustling under them.
So much is happening here I want to CRY! The first question Baekyhun asked is something he would definitely ask her if they were dating. He cares about her so much, he needs to ask for her reasons. Yet, Captain Byun isnt the type to be too nosy; from Burn Your Bridges we saw he was a passionate lover but very mature and responsible which also shows in the part where he didnt question her about her discomfort when he sensed it. But he still cares too much. These scenes prove how tables turned; Lee Nari is the one who is harder to reach now, while Baekhyun seems to be losing his mind a little with having the young girl back in his life. It shows in this scene:
Baekhyun was fast. Before you realized the warmth of his hand leaving yours, you heard a loud snap, his fist landing with the dude’s face. You squealed, covering your mouth in shock and just like that, Baekhyun had professionally put the lad down, having both his arms locked behind his back. It vastly made you remember when he did a similar move with your brother in his office at the police station, and chills ran down your spine.
Right. Baekhyun first arrested you, and then your brother who was still in jail until now. Baekhyun lied to you to get closer to you. Right. Right, right, right.
“Don’t ever even imagine her in your filthy mind,” Baekhyun’s voice thundered through the space.
Baekhyun lost it. And this is also a huge trigger for the OC. If you read the story, you would learn that Baekhyun would never pull this move on just a random person he needs to protect as a cop. But we are talking about Lee Nari and he would sure as hell manhandle anyone who dared to talk about her badly. Even her brother.
Your palm landed on his cheek and Baekhyun’s face snapped to his right side. “I hate you!” You shouted shakily, more tears spilling down your cheeks, the snot out of your nose. You were a mess. “I hate everything you put me through, Byun Baekhyun! You lied to me! Why did you lie to me?! I loved you!” You shouted again, and squeezed your eyes shut.
(...)
Your palms were still, pressing against his sturdy chest but you couldn’t make him move anymore. You were crying now, your voice shaking and your eyes still squeezed shut. “What did I do to deserve this… when all I did was love you honestly, purely,” you wailed, your voice sounding almost like a wolf’s howl in the empty streets of the campus. “I was just seventeen…”
Baekhyun was quiet the whole time, emotions of guilt eating him away just like they had been for the past year. His own heart was in pain and he knew how hurt you were but seeing you like this made his heart split into two. You were a complete, utter mess.
Even I felt heartbroken as I wrote that, angst at its best!! Baekhyun could finally witness just how damaged the girl is. Nari needed this. Thank God Baekhyun provided her the chance to finally speak up. I just loved the slap that she gave him, I loved how passionate and aggressive she was - with all his previous kindness, she finally erupted like a volcano. I love how she became so tired of her emotions, so tired of hating on Baekhyun that eventually led her to be in his arms. That last sentence is just as heart-breaking; your lover realizing just how much they ruined you but they still hold you in their arms. Its a little ironic, isnt it? The delicious pain of enemies/lovers trope <3 God I love them!!

3x02
- Another great episode imo. I know people have complained about how slow pace the show is this season so far but I've enjoyed it. I feel like things in S2 happened a bit too fast so I actually appreciate that the first two episodes of S3 have sort of slowed down and took the time to let the characters breathe.
Carolyn:
- Carolyn and Fiona Shaw were great in this episode. I was really curious about what her reaction would be to Kenny's death considering how emotionally subdued she usually is and her small breakdown in the car towards the end really tugged at my heartstrings. I think between Kenny's death and her growing conflict with the Paul guy is gonna cause us to continue to see a more unhinged Carolyn this season and I'm here for it. I've always enjoyed her character but I feel like she was very underutilized last season.
Konstatin:
- At this point I'm like 99% sure he killed Kenny or at least had something to do with his death. And that made most of his scenes in this episode...so disturbing. Attending Kenny's funeral and talking to Geraldine as if he didn't have something to do with her brother's death. And then planting that magnet on Geraldine just so he can spy on Carolyn. Cold. And then he manipulates Villanelle again by telling her Eve is alive but not to go to London knowing damn well she's going to lol. I really do feel like they're making Konstatin even more of a snake than usual this season in order to prepare the audience for his death. (Especially since Kim Bodnia recently got picked up by another project). And while I do think he'll have it coming I'm still gonna be sad to see him go. He's the only truly interesting male character on this show rip.
- I have no idea how he's still working for the 12 when they literally wanted him dead at the end of S1. But this show has never been great at continuity when it comes to the 12 lol.
- Looking forward to the Irina reappearance that's bound to happen at some point. I miss that kid.
Eve:
- Seeing Eve having to attend the funeral of another dead friend of hers was super sad. She's getting swept back up into the drama again. But to give her credit, she held back longer than I thought she would lol.
- I sort of liked her interactions with Bear and Jamie but at the same time, I have the same problem with them that I initially did with the new characters in S2. I miss Hugo lol. But I'm sure I'll grow to like these two as well with time.
- I'm glad they let her still be angry at Carolyn for the Rome betrayal and that it wasn't just swept under the rug like I thought it would be. And even now I think she'll only be reluctantly working with her again because they both want to figure out who killed Kenny. It's a more personal goal and I'm looking forward to seeing how that effects their dynamic.
Villanelle:
- Funniest part of the episode was her talking to the kid in her helium voice while wearing the clown costume lol
- Suzanne Heathcote really took those post S2 interviews about Villanelle being incapable of loving Eve and threw them in the trash huh. That scene where she was talking to Felix about how much it sucks to love someone and have them not love you back and the emotion on her face...whoo
- Yes I believe Villanelle is in love with Eve. No I don't think that makes her a good person or that the way she loves Eve is selfless or healthy. But just like Eve, Villanelle is a complex character and I'm glad Suzanne Heathcote isn't throwing her into a boring one dimensional box the way those post S2 interviews attempted to. Her reaction to finding out Eve was still alive was absolutely perfect and Jodie nailed it.
- The Villanelle and Konstatin reunion...another scene that tugged at my heartstrings. Villanelle is still so angry at him and that makes the fact that Konstatin is obviously manipulating her again even worse. But I still have such a big soft spot for their dynamic. The whole "I care about you" "you're full of shit" "can't I be both?" really sums up their relationship.
I give this episode an 8/10. And I'm so freaking excited for the next episode. Holy shit. Things are going to go Down.

I’m gonna be honest here, and I’m interested to know where you stand on this, but I’m kinda clipped that they’re going back to plastic beach bc to me it seems like panderingggg.
Hello, yes, I’ve given this some thought. Besides my initial happiness about 2D and Murdoc in the backseat and the power of my own imagination regarding Murdoc’s development, pandering was something else that crossed my mind. However, considering all the complications with SM, idk if I would call it pandering so much as their way of making up for the quality, which as we know has been affected by the pandemic and the ambition of the project (a video for every song!! Is!! A lot!! Of work!!) Idk if we would have seen PB if SM had been able to go as planned.
I would place myself somewhere out on the fringe of fandom regarding the decision. For the record, I’m not a fan of PB for various reasons that I usually keep to myself - though you can probably find some thoughts in my archive - because I don’t want to be a fun-sucker lol (I have shared them with friends and it usually bums them out..so I won’t inflict that on anyone unless they ask from here on out 😂). I haven’t even listened to the entire album because I don’t really enjoy it musically either. When I was a new fan, it was always surprising to me how everyone assumed everyone loved this phase. They are certainly *not* pandering to me by adding that scene at the end.
However, I’m a sucker for any Murdoc-centric storyline, and the mere possibility that “The Lost Chord” could be told from his perspective just fills me with SO much anticipation and interest. This is where the bulk of my excitement comes from, and why I’m still, overall, okay with the video (for right now).
Objectively, yeah, the video itself could have been better. It would have been nice to see more animation, like Murdoc throwing empty beer cans at pedestrians, or joyfully sticking his head out the window like a dog while Noodle drives at top speed 😂. But I also don’t expect a lot at this point. Jamie is working on a budget and he’s been very rushed. Knowing that, I can see why a PB throwback might have been a strategic decision to the general fandom happy and distract from the simplicity of the video, which is too bad because I’m also a fan who would be perfectly happy with 2-3 videos if it gave them time to develop their ideas and come up with a plan. I’m patient, I don’t mind waiting! While I appreciate the frequent videos, I do wonder about the reasoning behind the choice to do so many! I guess money?
The PB cameo worries me for another reason. Besides my own personal preference for the SM videos to remain informal (i.e. just random happenings around Kong, no big storyline), I also worry about the expectations going into the next video. I don’t think they don’t have the time or the budget to deliver a video that the fandom is imagining. I know I’ve been imagining a bunch of video ideas. I’ve read some AMAZING ideas for the video, but I also stay aware of what’s realistic and idk if everyone else is going to do that. AND there will be at least a month for fan theories and predictions to build up. For all we know, that one scene is all we’ll get. Can you imagine what the reaction will be like if that happens? For that reason, I wonder if it would have been better to let SM be its own thing. But regardless, I’ll continue to be happy with 2Doc hints and Murdoc scenes and how I can build off of them (those have become my priority for a reason.. think too hard about structure and continuity, and consistency in Gorillaz and you can drive yourself bonkers).
tl;dr - I appreciate the foundation on which to build imaginary video concepts and hopeful predictions and story line ideas that the PB scene provided me, but objectively speaking, I can’t say with confidence that it’s a decision that will end well. But I’m always hopeful.

Hey yall!! It’s been a log time since I’ve uploaded anything, and while I wish I had ideas for Branded, yall’re just gonna have to have this one shot for now lol. Enjoy~
Chase was shocked awake by the sound of something hitting the ground hard. He stumbled to his feet and put a hand against the wall while he steadied his breathing and blinked the dots away. Everything felt like it was spinning. Where was he? He blinked again, leaning against the cool wall and tried to look around, but all he could make out were the muted, bright colors and lights of a city at night. He could faintly hear the voices around him, they seemed panicked, but the ringing in his ears was too overwhelming to focus on anything.
He tried to make his way to a quieter part of town, not noticing that no one was paying any attention to him. If they were, they would probably think he was drunk with his glazed over eyes, half leaning against the wall as he walked. He had been drinking a little, but not so much to make him feel like this... right? He shook his head, trying to remember how he got into the city.
“I... drove here... and-and went up to the roof... to... d-d-drink.” He mumbled quietly as he walked. Soon he was in a park in the middle of the city, finding a bench and laying down on it.
“I drove past here...” He could see the world going dark as a faint siren sounded in the distance. “I...”
-- -- --
Marvin walked through the city, the first few rays of sunlight bouncing off his hair as it flapped behind him in a loose ponytail. His searching eyes scanned the area, but he wasn’t quite sure what he was looking for. He had seen what happened, but he wanted to know how, and more importantly, why. Why had he done it? Why did he leave so late at night?
A few people gave him a funny look as he quickly walked past, but thankfully none of them stopped him. Just as the shops around him began to open and people started arriving, he came to the park. He sat down on a nearby bench and turned on his phone, scrolling through the texts from his brothers from the night before. He sighed, pressed his fingers to his temples, and took a deep breath. He was still too tense to really think properly.
“-vin?”
Marvin opened his eyes and looked around, but didn’t see anyone.
“Maybe I’m just hearing things...” He muttered. Just then he noticed that one of the crystals on his necklace was glowing faintly. He held it up and gazed at it.
“Huh, that’s weird.” He blew on it and for a moment the light grew brighter.
“Can y- m-“
“Again?” He whispered. “Who’s there?” He commanded.
The crystal glowed bright again, a little more steady this time, and for a moment, Marvin saw a flicker of a form right in front of him.
“Marvin?” And just like that, the form was gone.
“What do you want, spirit?” Marvin tried to keep his voice steady. It had been many years since this crystal had lit up, the one for souls. There was silence, except for the shuffle of leaves in the wind. Did the spirit leave? Marvin looked at the crystal one last time before standing up and looking around quickly to make sure no one was near before making a portal. As he slipped through the portal to his apartment, he felt a sudden weight around his neck and stumbled forward.
The portal closed instantly behind him and the weight was gone. He shuffled in place for a little bit before he got an idea. He headed to his bedroom and pulled out a box from underneath his bed. He found the crystal he was looking for immediately. It was a much larger version of the crystal that had been glowing earlier.
He sat it on the ground and inspected it. There was a small dot of light that flashed for a second, on the side opposite from him.
“So you followed me home. Hey, you want to talk, right? Follow my lead.” Marvin placed a hand on the large crystal and after a second another hand print appeared, glowing, on the other side.
“You may talk.”
There was a moment of silence before he heard a whisper. “... Marvin... am I dead?”
“I’m afraid so. I don’t know who you are, but you seem to know my name. This stone lets me talk with the dead so I can hopefully put you to rest.”
“I don’t...” The whisper paused. “I-I can’t be dead... I- Marvin please, can’t you do something?”
“I’m sorry, my necromancy is pretty weak.” He paused. “Stay here please.” He released the crystal and stood up, making his way over to one of the book shelves. After selecting a dusty book from the top shelf, he made his way back in time to hear “why can’t I remember?”
“Remember what?”
“How I... died.”
Marvin sat down and opened the book to a certain section. “Hmm... you must be recently deceased then. I remember my teacher saying that the recently departed have trouble remembering how it all happened. Let’s see... here! I found a spell that might speed up the process for you to remember. I just need your full name and the last thing you remember from being alive.”
“Can’t you recognize my voice?”
“No? You’re coming through as a whisper.”
“Marvin... it’s me. Chase.”
Marvin froze, wide eyed. He looked at where he thought the spirit’s eye level would be in shock. “No... Y-you’re joking.”
“Marvin, I’m serious.” The crystal glowed a little brighter. Marvin could feel tears coming to his eyes but he quickly wiped them away.
“Y-you jumped...”
“What?”
“They found you on the ground out front of a 5 foot building downtown. You- the only way you could have been that badly injured is if you jumped.”
“No, I wouldn’t have!” The handprint glowed brighter.
“H-hold on...” Marvin flipped a few pages in the book and pressed his hand against the crystal again, closing his eyes and beginning to repeat a spell. He opened one eye and looked up. There, in front of him, was the glowing orange translucent form of his brother.
“You’re really-“ He reached out and was relieved when he could touch Chase’s arm.
Chase jumped at the sudden touch and looked Marvin in the eye. Marvin couldn’t hold his emotions back any longer and reached over the crystal to hug his brother, burying his face in his shoulder.
“It’s actually you!” Marvin gasped. Chase went to hug him back and realized he was shaking.
“Of course it’s me...”
After a moment longer, Marvin released him and sat back down, instead placing Chase’s hands in his, as if he was making sure he wouldn’t vanish again.
“Um... what all happened last night?” Chase asked, relieved at the touch.
Marvin drew in a sharp breath before he began. “1:34 am. I received a text from Jameson saying you were in the hospital with serious injuries. In a few minutes he texted back that you were dead. I teleported over and they said you.. had jumped off of a building downtown. The impact had practically killed you instantly, but even still, Henrik tried to save you.” He paused and drew in another shaky breath. “Why...”
“Why did I jump.” Chase finished his question. “I... don’t know. I don’t remember anything after I drove downtown. There was... whiskey next to me.”
“Chase-“
“I know I know, I promised I would quit. I just... it was our anniversary. The day I left... the day Stacy stopped letting me see our kids.”
“It was... wait you said the last thing you remember was driving downtown? We can still try the memory spell if you want.”
Chase paused before nodding, a determined look on his face. There was a sound of turning pages and muttering from somewhere outside the room, but he didn’t have time to question it before a searing pain hit him. He cried out in pain and keeled over, putting his hands over his ears. There was a soft touch on his hands again and the pain ebbed away. He sat back up, dazed and noticed Marvin was holding his hands again.
“Gah... is it supposed to hurt that ba-“ Chase froze as the memories flooded back into his head. He wobbled in place and shook his head, his mind finally clear. His eyes widened and he looked up at Marvin, who had worry and curiosity in his expression.
“Chase?”
“I didn’t jump. I was pushed.”
Marvin’s eyes widened before they narrowed in fury. “Who.”
“I can’t... see them...” Chase closed his eyes and tried to concentrate. “I’m sitting on the roof, looking at the stars. I’m holding the bottle, it's maybe a fourth empty. My cheeks feel wet. I stand up and walk to the edge before sitting down again. There is a noise behind me. I turn around and I feel hands on my back, pushing me. Red hoodie... black gloves and... the green eye...”
“Green eye?!” Marvin interrupted.
“Green. Marvin, it was Jackie. No, it was his body.”
“Anti?!” Marvin shot up. “Crap, of course he was behind this! I need to-“
Chase stood up, watching as Marvin made a portal. He turned quickly back to Chase and removed a bracelet from his wrist and slipped it onto Chase’s.
“This should let you be able to talk to the others outside my body.”
“Wh-?”
“Oh yeah I had you possess me so I could see you, sorry for not asking. Come on.”
Before Chase could blink they were in Henrik’s office. He and Jamie were sitting on the bench, asleep on each other’s shoulders, eyes red from crying. Marvin snapped loudly, awaking the two of them instantly.
“Sorry to awake your slumber, but do either of you know where Jackie is?”
Henrik grunted and slipped over to his desk. “He’s at... that building. Where Chase ju-“
“He didn’t jump.” “I didn’t jump.” Chase and Marvin said together. Henrik and Jamie looked at Marvin in shock and confusion.
“Sorry, no time to explain.” Marvin began making another portal. “I’ll get him and come back for you three.”
“Three?!” Henrik exclaimed as he slipped through and disappeared with a pop. Henrik and Jameson stared at each other in silence, now wide awake.
“Well... would you like me to explain all this now or after he comes back?” Chase broke the silence, startling the other two.
“Wha- who-?” Henrik stammered.
Chase stifled a giggle. He knew Henrik didn’t really believe in too much of the supernatural stuff that Marvin loved so much.
“Chase!?!” Jamie signed, hands slightly shaking.
“Yeah um... sorry to scare you two but you can’t really see me right now cause uh.. I’m kinda... dead? But it looks like you can hear me so that’s good! Marvin’s spells worked!”
Henrik stared at the direction the voice was coming from, contemplating everything he knew.
Before either of them could answer the portal opened back up and Jackie flew through it backwards.
“GRAB HIM!” Marvin yelled as he came flying in after.
Henrik grabbed the hero before he hit the wall.
“Hold him there, I need to get it out of him.”
Suddenly Jackie jerked in Henrik’s arms and a distorted laugh echoed through the room.
“W̧h͟a̴̛t͠,̵ ̷y͠o҉̧ù ̨c̨̡a̴̶n̶͞’͟͟ţ͟ ͝f̸i͟͝g̀́h͡t̶ ҉͠m̢̛é ̕o̡͜n̡͞ ͘ý̕o̕u͡ŗ̛ ͟o͢w͢n̢͜,͠ ̸͜m̡a͟g̡i̵͝c̢̛i͟͏a̸n͏?̧͟” Jamie and Henrik paled instantly, being all too familiar with that voice. Jackie’s left eye flashed green as the whites of his eyes went black.
Marvin’s eyes glowed an icy blue and a sudden gust of wind whipped around the room. He pressed his hand against Jackie’s face and said a spell in a language that none of them could understand.
Jackie’s body spasmed in Henrik’s grasp, glitching harshly. Marvin pulled his hand back but continued chanting as black smog erupted from Jackie’s eyes and mouth, glitching and fizzing as it shot towards the ceiling. Suddenly everything was quiet and both Jackie and Marvin went limp. Jamie caught Marvin and Henrik held Jackie up still, then Jackie started coughing and breathing in heavily. Henrik released him and Jackie fell to his hands and knees, trying to catch his breath. Marvin blinked and looked up before pushing himself gently out of Jamie’s grasp and moving closer to Jackie. He lifted his head up and looked him in the eyes before smiling.
“You’re back.”
“Y-yeah-“ Jackie attempted to respond but ended up coughing a bit. “How did you know he was in me? He was... doing a pretty good job of pretending to be me for a week or two.”
“Are you alright?” Chase asked before Marcin could answer.
Marvin nodded and Jackie’s head shot up, looking around wildly. “Chase?!”
“Sorry, you can’t see me.”
“Yet.” Marvin grinned, all eyes moving to him. “That exorcism took a lot out of me but I think I have enough energy for one more magic trick. Henrik? Where’s the body?”
Henrik, who was standing against the wall trying to comprehend everything, suddenly stood at attention. “This way.”
He led them all down a few halls, slow enough that Jackie and Marvin could keep up, until they reached the morgue. “But Marvin- his vital organs are long dead. How can you-“
“Shush. Lemme work.” Marvin smiled confidently. He approached Chase’s body bag. “Chase, do I have your permission to try a little experiment? This is my first time trying to bring anyone back from the dead.”
“Of course you dummy.” Chase responded from the other side of the table.
“Follow my lead.” He commanded again, closing his eyes and resting his hands lightly on the bag. He started saying an unfamiliar spell, with a hint of melody to it. The other three brothers watched in wonder as an orange light flooded the room for a moment, surrounding Marvin’s silhouette. The light faded as Marvin finished and his arms fell to his sides.
“Oh dear-“ he managed to say before he collapsed again, falling unconscious. Even though he was still recovering, Jackie’s quick reflexes kicked in and he caught Marvin.
There was a cough from the body bag on the table and a muffled voice came from within. “Yo can someone open the bag? It smells bad in here.”
Henrik rushed over and unzipped the body bag and Chase sat up and stretched. Henrik watched in wonder as the previously blue with death body was suddenly pink with life again. Chase looked down before looking at Henrik.
“Uh... got an extra gown around?”
Jamie let out a silent giggle and Henrik tossed a hospital gown at Chase, who quickly put it on. He flexed his fingers, a smile spreading across his face, happy to be completely solid again.
“Ok someone want to tell me what the F*** happened?!?” Henrik finally released the confusion that was building up in him.
Chase looked up at him then down where Jackie sat with the unconscious Marvin. “Yeah, I’ll explain everything. Although it’d probably be a better idea to talk in your office.”

i agree how you described twt, sometimes everyone's just ready to fight it seems, i've genuinely had fun on both platforms at different times but now it's just too much on stan twt (no space for difference of opinion djsjdjj) it's good to know you're having fun as well :3 & omg i've seen few of my moots starting to give svt their attention after fallin flower dropped, everything abt it is <3333 the song, mv, choreo i love it.
hdjdjddkdjdj " virgos 😐 " also me in next breath "happy birthday mark :D i love you so much 🥺💕💗" any virgos reading this i really hope you enjoy your month to the fullest djjdjd <3. righttt?? you're correct abt mark's temper being very virgo djdjdkd.
your line screams hard-working people <3 jihoon, jaebeom, jeonghan the 3Js <3. isn't jaebeom also an infj? (i don't take mbtis seriously but at the same time it also makes me happy if it ends up matching someone i like djdjjd) chan & yugs 🥺 these two imo have the sweetest personality, like the one which makes you feel welcomed & they also have the cutest laugh 🥺.
i love jus2 <3 focus on me is one of my favorite kpop mvs of all time & also drunk on you??? i love this song so much, very sexy of them. the vibes, style and everything w/ their album, i want more songs like that. and for when i am feeling melancholy i need more songs like jjp's verse 2 😭💔 but i am also okay if they don't want to go back to these units bcoz everything so far they've been giving is just as great <33 ( maybe in future we'll get blessed w/ features 🥺)
honestly g7 as grp and individually have won me over with their music style, even if i don't like full album ik there will be 3-4 songs which will be exactly what i like to listen to, all of the music they've released individually i've liked it so much. there is this song of youngjae's, titled "i'm all ears" i had no idea of its existence until it popped up in my spotify i'm so glad it did, it's been in my playlist ever since. there was also a time when i was obsessed with jackson's 'on the rocks' djdjdk.
aww <3 the live performance video of 1° has mark as thumbnail so for long time i used to associate this song with him jdjddk. i think the only j*pe thing i'd miss is got7 studio live sessions 🥺. RIGHTJDKSKS aju nice's mv is very cute djjddk I love it, in reality its reverse tho, i see them and boom! 💖💛💗🤍💕💙
it was the year they won first bb*as award so that gave them the exposure, and no i don't follow them anymore. mixed feelings abt them, very negative feelings abt f*ndom fjdjdjd. i do miss what it used to feel like liking them sometimes. at that time i never thought i'll willingly drop them from my interest (i've stanned zayn since 2012 first him as grp member then solo. sometimes thinking abt it gives me a whiplash hddjks it's been 9 years, really thought it would be same with them too but it didn't happen)
i've had falling in love by yugs and in to you by jaebs on loop for days djdkdk i really love these two songs and also air by bammie <3 (i'm slow jams kinda person djdjdk :3)
(bam released the most fun album & title this year idc abt others, ribbon is one of the soty) also special mention of look so fine & running through the rain. yes! you do make sense they feel organic & very them.
exactly 😭 it's more believable when they drop stuff out of nowhere like encore 😭😭. the way youngjae posted his letter on twt too ddjjdkssk the announcement & release of encore is such a 'you just had to be there' situation the excitement, nervousness, confusion and everything 😭 sometimes i can't with them. also is the bibi with mark on ost, the same one you mentioned in last ask? the ost is really good <3, it must've been fun to see it happen (if its same bibi).
making a whole ass playlist just for me???? 😭😭😭🥺💗 yza you're so sweet nooooo 💖
and don't worry abt replying late jdjdkdjd i mean it, sometimes my friends text me after weeks and i'm am the same. it's really okay <3. i hope this week is treating you kindly, take care yza - 🪂
p.s ( just saw last post djjej) - it was me who manifested more bunny dino <3 manifesting even more <33
i was on stan twt during my younger years too and it was v fun and memorable to me ngl <3 idk what happened though.. it's evolved to be.. Something Else.. i still see a lot of good people there though 😭 and now that i'm in my Hag Era... idk it's just too fast for me now 😭 it's still my go-to place for updates though nothing can top twitter on that dept
and ms fallin flower.... i feel like everyone was blown away by it (based off of what i see carats when talk about it) and rightly so!! she SERVED. the looks too oh my god. it's another factor i look forward to and enjoy so much when i watch their performances!!
u know what? virgos 😐 indeed KJJKDFJKFDJKFDKJ i want to slander virgos today because it's their season and no one slanders them that often so <3 ABOUT MARK'S VIRGO TEMPER THOUGH... i know i've said i enjoy seeing it sm but whenever i think abt it i cant help but say that.. I Love His Temper <3 he doesn't get pissed off in a scary and douchebag-y way it seems so... contained?? IDK HOW TO DESCRIBE IT he punched an a/c though so that might not be the perfect word to describe him lmaoo <3
THE J TRINITY HFDJFJDJHDF BESTIE UR MIND IS SO!!!!!!!!!!! honestly... maybe it's the acts of service for me <3 JKDFKJFDKJFJKD i think this is just my eldest sister and savior syndrome speaking though kfjkdkjf ALSO OH MY GOD THE WAY U NOTICE THESE THINGS <3 THAT'S SO SEXIE OF U!!! and yes he used to be an infj!! there was an interview that's more recent wherein he mentioned that he's now an enfj though but i cant rmb which interview it's from :/ ALSO MOOD FKJJKGJGKF i dont believe in mbtis too but im just... a little obsessed w it for the fun of it all <3 and the way u described them </3 what if i tear up a little </3 I LOVE CHAN'S LAUGH SO MUCH BUT IM SO SOS O GLAD U BROUGHT UP YUGYEOM'S LAUGH??????????? IT'S NOT TALKED ABT ENOUGH LIKE...... HELLO!!!!!!!!!!! one of my bird moots said he sounded like a schoolboy in choir 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hey, I'm doing good too. Just normal amounts of stressful stuff right now. Just moved to a country I've never been to before but can't complain, things are not as hard as the last time I did this so. Thanks for asking! Yeah, I saw you posting about some pretty scary health issues before, I'm glad you came out of that alive and hope you're healthier now!
The nerve some people have! Haha I know I would be pissed if people were questioning my intelligence like that especially after a couple of drinks in haha. Though I do like taunting people when I play group games, I'll be like "don't need to try that hard guys, you're gonna lose anyway" just to mess with them or just call people sore losers if they accuse me of cheating haha (they're probably right on the accusations tho). People get real mad sometimes it's kinda funny. 😂
Omg literally laughed out loud reading this! Hahaha, how did you manage to fall over a road sign then end up in a ditch? lol omg hope you didn't get hurt too bad 😂 I was trying to downplay my drunken escapades but since you shared yours I should tell you my worst one:
I was at this summer street party at night and got drunk on something made out of tropical herbs and cachaça (which is about 48% alcohol), drank 3 and a half bottles of that like it was apple juice, made friends with a bunch of strangers in a bathroom queue (who tried to talk to me weeks later but I had no idea who they were), had to be held by my best friend while I peed (mostly missing the toilet), fell in the middle of the street and scraped my knee, threatened this boy who was helping me walk and told him not to try anything funny or I would beat him up, then dragged my friends to the beach and left them shortly after to go make out with my ex, came back with lipstick all over my mouth and chin and when my friends asked what I was doing I said I was just talking to my ex and they were like NO YOU WERE NOT, hahaha then I kissed all my girl friends on a dare and we danced under the full moon, then I told my best friend I had to puke so she took me to the ocean but I changed my mind and happened to step on a dead turtle on the way back and started crying bc of it, but last month my best friend told me it was a rock I had stepped on (I believed it was a dead turtle for 7 years!). Had the worst hangover of my life the next day. ✌️✨
Ah I'm happy you liked it! I've never listened to Six musical before but it sounds fun! I can see why you like it haha made me want to dance around my apartment 💃. And hey if liking musicals is your thing then it's great, I'm sure Hozier will understand if he's not your top artist of the year. 😋 Here's my "damie" Pinterest board if you or anyone else wants to check it out, totally recommend making one if you're a visual person like me!

Oh I could talk about Dani and Jamie forever I think. I love the beast in the jungle speech too and it's so painful to watch, VP delivered that beautifully, but I have to admit I'm always a crying mess from episode 1 when older Jamie starts reciting that song about being sad while waiting for her lover to return, this show is fucking cruel I hate it and love it at the same time hahaha. Omg your mom 😂 but I mean it's truly an honor to be compared to someone like Dani, no? She's really great even if she needs a little help haha (don't we all).
Aaah you're amazing! Thank you so much, I'll read this pirate AU soon!
I used to draw a lot, really loved doing it when I was a kid as I said before, and all throughout adulthood too but I haven't done that in almost a year now bc I've got a bit of a case of burnout I guess, it just takes a lot of effort to do it when it shouldn't be like that at all. I used to do fanart too, for other fandoms. Even made one for Dani x Jamie but ended up not liking how it turned out haha. I've got a lot of respect for writers and fanfic writers also! Yall can make words make sense in really interesting and beautiful ways, build worlds so enthralling I can see them vividly in my head. Writing is such an incredibly fascinating skill to have! And I guess the most important thing is that we enjoy doing these things right? Even if we think we're not particularly good at it.
Anyway, have a lovely weekend! 👋✨
Good I'm glad you're doing great but sorry you're dealing with stressful stuff!! Hope living in a new country goes well for you I'm so jealous that you've lived in different countries I'd love to live somewhere else even if just for s few years!! Awwh thank you so much I definitely came out of it alive and am feeling so much better now thank you I mean I do some pretty ditzy things so when people say it to me it's pretty deserved sometimes, I'm secretly smart and people just don't expect it so I never mind too much haha I might have to start saying the things that you do and just taunting them over it I mean, I usually do win even when they make me answer different questions so I will definitely have to start saying things like that to them Haha I love that you're just like "yeah they're probably right in their accusations" I agree seeing how mad some people get over games and stuff is funny (it's me I'm people I hate loosing games depending on what it is and I am very competitive) So it was very dark and all we had for light was my roommates flashlight on her phone but while we were walking home a friend of ours that lived else where kept texting her to make sure we were still safe (my phone as dead at this point) so while she was texting him her flashlight was facing down and someone had moved this road sign to the footpath and it was on that sits on the floor so while I couldn't see it I walked into it and fell over it but while I feel I grabbed hold of it and flipped with it and fell in a ditch with it on top of me... I was fine and was just laid laughing while my friend looked down at me and in the most northern accent ever just said "get up you dickhead." and helped me off of the floor and then asked if I was okay... and I was so it was all good!! Haha 😂 I love this drunken story that sounds like one hell of a night and is a roller coaster from start to finish!! I'm sorry you thought you had stood on a dead turtle for 7 years though, someone really should've told you that it was just a rock!! But that sounds like my kind of night!! I love nights like that... stories that will last a life time... the only down side is the hangover... luckily I have only ever had one hang over in my life and it wasn't the morning after the road sign fiasco... I felt surprisingly good the morning after that haha 😂 It's such a good musical it's about Henry VIII wives and I just love everything to do with his wives and that musical is so much fun and actually gives a little insight to the lives the six Tudor queens had away from Henry and with him because at school we're mainly just taught about him which sucks!! I loved the Hozier song and am definitely gonna have to listen to more of his stuff!! I love musicals so much I mainly listen to musical soundtracks at the minute- usually, Legally Blonde and Six on repeat haha 😂 Ooo thank you I will definitely check out this Pinterest board thanks for sending it to me!! I could talk about them forever too... since watching Bly Manor my niece has been asking me so many questions about it and I am more than happy to talk to her about it haha!! The beast in the jungle speech just breaks my heart every time I relate to it so much and VP just delivers it so beautifully!! Oh yeah now I know at the beginning that it's older Jamie I am just a wreck the whole show is just so beautiful and heart breaking at the same time I LOVE IT!! Even though it makes me sob- I keep putting myself through it!! I mean, yeah I was happy that she said it Dani is great but it was the way she said it... my mum can be something else sometimes... she said she thought Dani was like me the first time she does the accent when she says "I've fallen quite in love with London" because I just randomly do accents a lot too but it was the way she was like "She needs help... but I like her she reminds me of you" I was just like... "Should I go get help?" I still don't know the answer to my question about if I need help or not but I mean I probably do need it You're welcome I really hope you like it!! It's a
great fic I love it!! Yeah I get that if stuff starts taking too much effort and burns you out you're not gonna wanna keep doing it so it's understandable that you stopped!! I think fan art is great and I really would love to be able to do it myself but I just don't have the skill it takes!!

Hello. This happened to me not too long ago, it's drama fueled lol. Can you write Mary and fem reader being best friends? Reader tells Mary, her feelings she has for Arthur and do the whole girl code but Mary breaks it and betrays reader? Reader is hurt by it but later discovers, Arthur wants her. Kind of like a love triangle thing?
Okay, I’m gonna be honest, I almost didn’t write this one. The reason why is because I am not a fan of love triangles. I find them to be boring, but since you mentioned that this happened to you, I gave it a shot. Here you go!
Masterlist
Read on AO3
You look up from the dough you're kneading, glancing at your friend. She looks up at you and smiles a bit, to which you return. You'd heard that she was in the area for a while and you decided to visit, and shortly afterwards she recommended the two of you bake.
"I can't remember the last time we got together to bake something," you say.
"I know," she agrees. "Must've been a few years at least."
Mary looks up at you and smiles again, bringing over the spices to add to the dough.
Mary was your best friend growing up. Although she's certainly a city girl and you're more on the rugged side, the two of you got along famously. Unfortunately when you hit the later years of your teens, some events occurred that caused you to leave the town the two of you lived in. You didn't see each other for a few years after that.
Then, about ten years ago, you bumped into one another in Blackwater. You were visiting there and it turned out she was too. She told you her family moved to Saint Dennis, a town you've never liked, but you promised to make an effort to visit her. Every few months, you'd drop into that foul city to visit.
It was a few weeks ago you'd received the letter from her stating she was in Valentine for a while. Something to do that concerned her brother, it seemed. You were already in the area, and that's how you ended up here.
"You know, that outdoorsy style has always suited you," she says, "but don't you think you could've cleaned yourself up a bit?"
You look down at yourself. Sure, your clothes aren't new and there's a few places you've patched them yourself. Your hair and skin show undeniable signs of being out in the sun for long periods of time. Don't even get started on the condition of your nails.
"I washed up before I came, Mary," you say in a somewhat sardonic tone. "Besides, when was the last time you cared about my looks?"
Mary shakes her head a bit. "I just thought… maybe you'd be interested in looking a bit more like a woman, that's all."
You raise your lip a bit. That city life has not done Mary any favors, that much is for sure. It doesn't help that she has a rich daddy, neither. She was better as a kid, more accepting and more open to the idea that not everyone wanted to live a city life. But as she's grown older, she's clearly changed.
"Maybe I never cared for wearing dresses, Mary, or putting my hair up in a stupid bun with some stupid bow. Maybe because I don't mind living as a part of the world as it is rather than trying to control it."
"Alright, alright, I'm sorry. I just thought maybe you'd be open to the idea, I wasn't trying to suggest anything."
You glower at her a bit before turning back to the dough you're shaping, detecting the lie. Ten years ago, when you'd reunited with Mary, she'd started to change. She began to look down at people who lived a more wild life than she did. Something told you perhaps she had a personal reason behind it, but you never bothered to really ask.
"So why you up in Valentine then?" you say. "Town of mud and horse shit, thought you'd avoid this place like the plague."
“I told you. It’s… it’s my brother.”
“So what’s Jamie up to now then?” you ask, recalling Mary’s little brother. You’ve never seen a boy with more optimism than him.
Mary doesn’t say anything for a moment, but then she opens up. “Some religious man talked to him back home and convinced him to join. Last I heard, they were up this way. But these people, the Chelonians, they’re known for being quite mad. I’m afraid he’ll end up getting hurt or worse.”
You look up at her, feeling sad. “I wish there was something I could do to help,” you admit.
“Thank you, but I’m afraid there really isn’t. I just hope… well, nevermind.”
She quickly changes the subject, clearly not wanting to go on. You let her. When the day gets later, you bid her goodbye and head off.
Instead of heading home, however, you decide to go and do some hunting. You’re in need of some fresh meat, the butcher in Valentine always gives you a good price for hides. You’ve been trading with him for years.
After going up into Cumberland Forest, you pick up signs of a deer. You begin tracking it, keeping an ear out for any sounds from the woods. It’s a good thing because after only a few moments, you hear the sound of something big breathing rapidly, can practically feel its hot breath. Looking up over the thick clump of bushes you’re in, you see the heavy body of a wolf, its nose pointed into the wind. He’s picked up your scent.
A low, chilling howl escapes his lips and the wolf is on you. As you begin to run, you hear the howl picked up by other dogs not far away. The hunter has become the hunted.
You’ve delt with wolves in the past. The trick is to get to a place they can’t reach you and take down enough of them to put them off their prey. However, they’re far closer to you than you are to a good high point. Your blood pounds in your ears as you run, desperate to get away. The wolf who first scented you snaps at your heels, but his jaws close on air.
Just as the wolf lunges again, the air suddenly explodes and the wolf yelps and drops dead. You stop and the other wolves whimper and run off, their alpha dead. Looking around, you see a man astride a horse, reloading a double-barrel shotgun.
“You a’right, ma’am?” he asks. He’s got a rough voice and his eyes are partially hidden beneath his hat.
“Yes,” you say. “Damn thing missed me. Thank you though.”
“Course. You have a way to get home?”
You nod and turn to whistle for your horse, but she’s bolted in fear of the wolves. “Well I did have a way home.”
He huffs a small laugh. “Maybe I can help ya. What she look like?”
You tell the man about your horse, so he trots off to help look for her. You try looking for her as well, but he finds her much quicker. As he brings her back, you stoop down and begin to skin the dead wolf.
The man watches you for a second and you feel his eyes watching your hands. You look up and see him staring at you.
“What? You never seen a woman skin a wolf before?”
He chuckles and leans down, his arms settling on the horn of his saddle. “No, course I have. Just… ain’t all that common, I s’pose. Wha’s your name?”
When you introduce yourself, he smiles. “I’m Arthur. Arthur Morgan. So, you from around here?”
“When I feel like it,” you smile, blushing a bit. You’ve just recognized how attractive he is. “I, uh, don’t really have a home. Guess I just don’t really care for the idea of staying in one place for too long.”
He smiles a bit wider. “Think I know what ya mean. Well, lemme walk ya home at least.”
You agree and throw the wolf’s pelt over your horse’s rear. On the way back to Valentine, you and Arthur talk and you find yourself feeling very interested in him. When you ask him about his background, he’s vague and mysterious, further intriguing you.
Once in town, he stops outside the saloon where you dismount. Before you walk off, he stops you.
“Ma’am, I uh hope I ain’t bein’ forward, but… while you’re callin’ this place home, may I see you again?”
You blush but grin up at him. “I’d like that, Mr. Morgan. Something tells me you have your own stories about wolf hunting.”
“That I do, miss. Well, take care.” He salutes you with two fingers casually and then walks off.
Over the next few days, you ask around town to see if anyone knows anything about this Arthur Morgan. As far as anyone knows, however, he’s a newcomer. Never been in the area. He got in a fight at the saloon and beat old Tommy so bad he hasn’t been the same way since. Other than a few other little scrapes, there’s no other information about him.
As time goes on, you start seeing more and more of Arthur Morgan. Sometimes you happen to bump into him in town, other times he comes to find you since you told him the general area you’re staying in for now. Things are heating up between you both though, and you cannot deny you’re developing feelings for him.
One afternoon, you go to Mary’s house again. She’d asked you a few days ago to come and visit, so here you are. When you walk into the house she’s staying at, the first person you see is not Mary nor the homeowner (Mary’s aunt), but Jamie.
“Holy shit, is that you, Jamie?” you say. “Been years since I seen you!”
Jamie grins and walks over to give you a hug. All the memories of him pulling jokes when you and Mary were teenagers to make you laugh come flooding back. In many ways, he was almost like your little brother back in those days.
He greets you warmly but then you remember he’s the reason Mary’s up here in the first place. However it would feel rude to ask him what he was up to with his religious friends, so you keep your mouth shut. When Mary’s shown up and Jamie’s headed off to town, you confront her.
“Oh, I had a… a friend help me out to get Jamie back,” she admits hesitantly.
“A friend? I wasn’t aware you had other friends up here.”
“Well… I don’t know if I would really call him my friend. We… he and I, we… I…” she puts her hand over her eyes. “I don’t really know how to explain it.”
“Well, you don’t gotta. I mean, I know you have other friends. Guess it’s not unusual for any of them to make their way up here.”
She gives you a grateful smile, then you suddenly remember Arthur. “Oh, I have to tell you about this man I met. I think… I think he might ask me to be his girlfriend soon.”
“Oh? I’d love to hear about him!” Mary says excitedly. She leads you into the kitchen so she can make some coffee for you both. As she prepares it, you start to talk about him.
“He saved me from some wolves. He’s this really handsome guy, but not in that city way. He’s real rugged, clearly lived in the wild probably most his life. Got the prettiest blue eyes I ever seen. I’m pretty sure he’s a bounty hunter or…” you look around to make sure Jamie isn’t back and lower your voice, “I thought he might be an outlaw at one point. I don’t know, he just strikes me as bein’ one of them kinda fellas.”
Mary suddenly drops the mug she was holding and it shatters. “An… an outlaw with blue eyes you say?”
“Y-yeah. What the hell, Mary, why’d you drop your mug?”
“What’s his name? This man?” Mary looks at you with such an intensity it stops you.
“Arthur.”
“Morgan?” she says.
“You… you know him?”
Mary clasps her hands. “He’s the friend I was talkin’ about. He went and got Jamie from those Chelonians for me. He and I… we… when we were younger, he and I were… together. He even proposed to me but I just couldn’t live his lifestyle. He is an outlaw, y/n, and my daddy didn’t like him.”
You feel as though you’ve been punched in the gut. “You were engaged to Arthur?”
She wrings her hand and bites her lip. “He was the only person I know who was scary enough to frighten those people into giving me my brother back, and he did. I… hated asking him. He can be very violent when he gets angry.”
You swallow hard. “He never hurt you, did he?” You pray for a certain answer.
“No. But… when we were together, one of the reasons I left him was because he got so drunk he ended up beating a man nearly to death. He got arrested and I think one of his fellow outlaws busted him out. I’d seen part of the fight and it frightened me, seein’ him like that.”
You lower your head, feeling like she’s describing a different person. The Arthur you know is a gentleman. Rough around the edges, sure, but not a coldblooded killer who revels in violence. It can’t be true. As you’re trying to process what Mary’s saying, she suddenly takes your hand in both of hers.
“Promise me somethin’. Promise me you won’t get involved with him. It nearly broke my heart to leave him, I couldn’t bear the pain of seein’ my best friend and my ex-fiance get together. If the shoe were on the other foot, I’d do the same for you.”
The weight of what she’s asking slams into you like a train, but you nod. “Of course. I’ll… tell him something, make him forget about me. I won’t betray your trust, Mary.”
She smiles and lets out a sigh, then hugs you. In your ear, she whispers, “Thank you.”
***********************************************
It’s been a few weeks since you’ve seen Arthur, and the pain of losing him is still fresh and raw. It nearly shattered you to tell him the lie, that you’d gotten into a relationship with another man. However, he was sweet and understanding, though clearly hurt. It took all your strength to not take it back and admit the truth, but you also felt a duty to protect Mary.
She has been grateful that you chose her over Arthur. However, her behavior since then has changed slightly. For reasons she wouldn’t disclose to you, she lengthened her stay in Valentine rather than going back to Saint Dennis with Jamie. She chose to stay here with her aunt and when you asked, she flustered a bit but then said that she knew how much you hated the city and she wasn’t ready to say goodbye.
That excuse didn’t match up though. You started trying to make more of an effort to visit her, but it was becoming more frequent for you to arrive at her aunt’s house only to be told that Mary was out and it wasn’t known when she’d return. Not only that, but on the occasions you did see her, she acted more distracted and made up excuses to leave early. She also frequently asked if you were still seeing Arthur Morgan, to which you honestly replied with no.
You walk down the main street of Valentine, feeling slightly bummed. You dreamt of Arthur last night. Nothing unusual, but just of being with him. The idea of what could have been constantly haunts you, and you have to remind yourself every time of the promises you made to your friend.
As a way to try and alleviate the longing, you went to go see Mary, but of course she wasn’t home. Her aunt said she was out yet again. What in the world is that girl up to? She’s always been a home body, yet she’s constantly out nowadays.
When you get close to the church, you look up and see a familiar figure. It’s Mary. Her back is to you and she seems to be talking to someone who is behind the church. Something tells you by the way she gestures with her hands that they’re having more than a mild conversation.
You begin to approach her, wondering who she’s talking to, but as you get closer, the person steps out. It’s Arthur. What the hell is he doing here? Mary made it sound like she wasn’t going to associate with him anymore either. What is going on?
You duck down and creep over to the church, wanting to hear what they’re saying. Their words wash over your ears.
“I wasn’t good enough for ya then, Mary, why would that be different now?” That’s Arthur.
“I was different then, Arthur. I’ve changed my mind.”
“Didn’t seem that way when you begged me to fetch Jamie for ya.”
“I’m sorry. I was scared because I know I treated ya bad. You asked me for a second chance and I denied you all them years ago. Will you do me the favor of giving me one?”
You peak over the fence and see the two standing close together. Arthur’s looking at the dirt and Mary’s staring at him, her eyes hopeful. You suddenly realize why she asked you not to get closer to him. That bitch!
“You! You fucking brat!” you scream and stand up before you can stop yourself. Mary jumps and Arthur’s eyes immediately land on you, his hand resting on his gun. You partially recognize that he was preparing to shoot a potential threat, but you don’t care. You hop the fence and march over to Mary before jabbing a finger into her face.
“Goddamn it, Mary Gillis! This is why you fucking asked me to do this! You wanted Arthur for yourself!”
Her face is white and her eyes dart from you to Arthur.
“Y/N?” Arthur says, planting a hand on your shoulder to try and calm you. “What’s goin’ on? I thought you were with another feller?” Even now, you can hear the hurt tone in his voice.
“I lied about that, Arthur. I lied for her!” Tears flood your eyes as you glare at the person you thought was your friend.
“I didn’t… It wasn’t like that,” she says.
“Bullshit! You heard that I was thinking of getting involved with your ex-partner and that made him more desirable than ever! You just had to have him, didn’t you?”
You’re crying at this point, wanting to scream Mary but also wanting to hit her.
“Wait, how do you two know each other?” Arthur asks, standing between you and Mary as though sensing you’re going to start throwing punches.
Mary’s shoulders sag and she spills. You notice she glosses over a few parts but you’re quick to correct her. By the end of it, Arthur looks disgusted. He turns to you and puts his hands on your shoulders, trying to comfort you as you sob.
“I’m sorry,” Mary says. “I just… I didn’t mean to hurt you, Y/N. But when I met up with Arthur to get Jamie, I… felt things I hadn’t felt in a long time. Then I heard you were interested and I did the worst thing I coulda done. I’m sorry.”
Arthur whips around suddenly. “Now you’re lyin’ to both of us, Mary. When you talked to me after gettin’ your damn brother, you made it very obvious you weren’t tryin’ for a second chance. You straight up told me that I’d never change, and because of that I’d never be good enough for you. Don’t you dare lie to your friend or to me like that!”
Mary takes a step back, clearly frightened. That’s when you sidestep Arthur and stand in front of her, your lower lip quivering. “If I hadn’t been here to compete with you, Mary, you would’ve let Arthur walk away. But because I was interested in your ex boyfriend, all of a sudden it was a competition. Fuck. You.”
You spit at Mary’s feet and walk away, not wanting anything to do with her anymore. After all you’ve done for her, after everything you believed of her, it all seems to be nothing. Hell, you were the one who introduced her to Barry (something you regretted as he was truly an idiot). Plus there was that time Jamie almost got swindled into giving that one snake oil man money when he claimed he could make a fail-safe love concoction and you were the only one who could talk sense into Jamie. Mary never thanked you for that either.
Then along comes Arthur, the first man you started to feel some real things for, and Mary just couldn’t let you be happy with him. Not when she had a past with him. The only thing you can feel is betrayal.
As you walk away, letting the tears slip down your face, you suddenly feel someone walking beside you. When you look up, you see Arthur. You both stop and he turns to face you.
“Darlin’, did you mean it? When you said you lied about that other feller?”
“Of course, Arthur. I haven’t had another man in years. I only lied because telling the truth at the time was too hard and I didn’t want to complicate things. God, I could kick myself.”
He looks over to where Mary’s still standing then back to you. Before you have a chance to react, he takes you in his arms and holds you tight against his chest. From across the road, you hear Mary burst into tears.
“Arthur,” you mumble into his shirt. He’s very warm beneath it. God, it feels good to be in his arms. “You didn’t do that just to make her mad, did you?”
“Well, maybe a little,” he says and you can feel him smile as he rests his lips against your forehead. “She’s the last person I want. But mostly I did this because I’m so relieved. When you lied about havin’ another feller, I felt my heart break. Now it feels whole again.”
He holds you for a few more seconds and then pulls away. You look up at him, feeling like the tiny bubble of hope in your chest is deflating. “So what are you going to do about Mary?”
“What about her?” he asks. “Trust me, I don’t want her, darlin’. I weren’t good enough for her when we was kids, or at least that’s what she said. I hadn’t even done half the shit I done now and I still wasn’t good enough for her. Besides, she always had a gift for makin’ me feel like shit about myself. Pulled my strings into doin’ things I didn’t wanna do.”
“She said she saw you get into a fight with a man, you almost killed him. Said you were drunk, sure, but still…”
Arthur huffs. “Yeah, you wanna know why I got in a fight with that guy? It’s cause she made me think he was tryin’ to get sweet on her. She convinced me to fight him. Found out in the mornin’ he was just recently married and definitely was not interested in her. Think she just likes the drama.”
You smile a bit and take his hand. “That much seems clear. Don’t know why I didn’t see it until now.”
“You got your reasons. It can be hard to see the red flags comin’ from people you care about. But, darlin’, I wanna try for somethin’ with you. No Mary. No drama. Just you and me.”
As you look up at him, you smile. “I’d love that, Arthur.”
He returns your smile and bends down to kiss you. His lips are soft, warm and slightly chapped. As he kisses you, a rush of excitement grips you and you pull away, draping your arms over his shoulders.
“So… are you really an outlaw?”
