Homestuck Is For Cat People

(page 928-941)

KITTEN UPDATE: Rose has picked up the kitten and is cradling it so gently.

The big development here is another APPEARIFIER, this one green (on theme with the lab) and perhaps a different model as it has this arcade cabinet setup instead of the big flat Playstation Portable that WV had (p.738). A coin-operated appearifier is a fun thought and I’m glad the idea was planted in the story, even if it didn’t come to pass.

This appearifier can be adjusted in time, but has been specifically locked onto Rose’s childhood cat Jaspers, who is apparently a Very Important Cat – there’s a special catlock symbol on the bottom of page 929. The funniest reveal is that Jaspers was always wearing a suit, and was fitted with a new one for the funeral, but not his first one.

And then we zoom out and see BABY ROSE. So small. Giant wet anime eyes way too big for her face. This is from Thursday September 7, 2000, and Rose was born in the winter of 95/96, so she’s 4 close to turning 5, and she is already a therapist and (according to unreliable present Rose) may have written the phrase ‘characteristically recalcitrant’ in a notepad.

Rose’s immediate instinct upon seeing this is to cause a time paradox. As though she doesn’t have enough problems already.

KITTEN UPDATE: The kitten is clinging to the trailing end of Rose’s scarf.

Rose creates a slime-cat just as WV creates a slime-pumpkin (p.752), and then we get a MASSIVE lore bombshell. This appearifier is connected to a slime chamber/DNA sequencer, automatically sucking up the paradox slime which contains the DNA of whatever was/wasn’t appearified. (I can confirm from Real Life that molecular biology sometimes involves slime).  

If it’s working, the machine then creates a PARADOX CLONE; an actual, living, non-slime embryo of the creature which can most likely grow like any other creature of its species. This one isn’t quite working; the kitten nibbling the scarf is actually a very close copy but the two-headed version in a jar is a step backwards. These are, apparently, ‘unsuccessful attempts to perfect the science of ECTOBIOLOGY.’

‘Ectobiology’ is written in green in the narrative so we know it’s important. And it is a very green and slimy word. Maybe a word that could describe a kid wearing a green slime ghost shirt. John is (or wants to be) someone who clones creatures through appearification, sequencing, and synthesis. It’s… weirdly analogous to how alchemy works in Sburb. Appearifying the slime = dispensing the cruxite, a raw material to work on. Sequencing the DNA = carving the totem, encoding the specific data. And synthesizing a clone = alchemizing an object, creating something physical out of digital data. It actually seems really easy, and like it doesn’t require any actual biology knowledge. But how does John know about this science when we’ve never seen it mentioned outside this ominous underground lab? And does John have plans with this? Specific clones he’d like to create??

Jaspers ‘tells Rose a secret’ and again I am wondering if we are supposed to take this literally, if cat speech is possible via Skaia’s will or if this is a weird false memory of Rose’s. And then he’s appearified away, by someone who isn’t Rose at some point in the past/future. For exactly two weeks his location is hidden by static; then he returns battered, and then we get the Jaspers-centric animated page, something I wasn’t expecting for today but am thrilled to have.

KITTEN UPDATE: The kitten is blinking all four eyes in sequence, like a crowd doing the wave.

A funeral dirge filled with purrs and meows plays as we see Jaspers’ extravagant funeral (complete with Mom’s martini glass and what looks like a funeral lab coat?), time in the mausoleum, and journey to the lab and transportalization today to somewhere with a gray square-patterned carpet. I don’t think we’ve seen this specific carpet before, but we have seen some geometric gray carpets in Jade’s house (for example, p.914). This is intercut with moments of the new mutant kitten chewing on Rose’s scarf, rolling around, and being generally adorable. Surely Rose is falling in love with this kitten as much as I am.

Rose appearifies Jaspers back and with ‘all this sorted out’ (p.940) grabs both cats and transportalizes away to who knows where. I do not feel like anything is sorted out. I actually have nothing but questions. But I’m glad Rose is feeling good.

Thinking through all this. Someone – presumably Rose’s mom – has been trying and failing to specifically recreate Jaspers. We know that resurrecting Jaspers via Sburb is a big goal of Rose’s, even if she’s reluctant to admit it, so that’s a big parallel between these two characters who have a lot of distance and hostility. Rose was so young when Jaspers disappeared that losing him must have been a formative memory. Jaspers was likely Mom’s cat from before Rose was born; her cat plushies suggest she’s a cat lover in general. She might have been working on getting Jaspers back ever since the moment he disappeared. The question is, does she want him back for herself or for Rose?

It's also possible that this setup has been here even longer, and that Mom herself appearified Jaspers from Rose’s therapist couch that day. Maybe accidentally, and it had bad effects, and she’s been trying to create a new Jaspers ever since as an apology (a real Dr Frankenstein way to approach interpersonal relationships but GREAT characterization) or maybe on purpose for some more nefarious/experimental reasons, considering the ‘no accessible feed’ during the time between his disappearing from Rose’s side and reappearing at the river.

KITTEN UPDATE: The kitten has been PRETTY DECENTLY ESCAPALIZED along with Rose!

" there you are! i was... hey... what's the matter? have you been crying? "

Action: Cradle

Mountain/Swiss

"There you are! I was... hey... what's the matter? Have you been crying?” Swiss had strolled into the greenhouse set for a date with Mountain that the earth ghouls had planned the day before. It was nothing spectacular, just a picnic on the greenhouse, but Swiss had been looking forward to it since Mountain had suggested it, but seeing the giant ghoul stood in the middle of the greenhouse with tears flowing down his cheeks had his heart shattering.

Mountain sniffed, rubbing at his eye with a fist. “I’m sorry, it’s stupid, just forget about it.”

Swiss took Mountains hands in his, placing a kiss to his knuckles. “If you’re crying, it’s not stupid. What happened, Sunflower?”

“I just- there’s this cat.” He lets out a wet laugh. “ I told you it was stupid.”

Swiss shakes his head, looking up at Mountain. “I don’t think it’s stupid, what about this cat?”

“There’s this cat that’s been coming to the greenhouse to the few months, she’s really friendly, she likes being in my apron pocket when I work.” His bottom lip wobbles. “I called her pumpkin because when I come in in the morning she’s always asleep on one of the pumpkins, but the last few days she hasn’t been here and I’m just- I’m worried. I know that’s stupid, she’s a cat-but-just-“ A couple more tears run down his cheeks.

“Hey.” Swiss gently wiped away a few stray tears from Mountains cheeks. “It’s not stupid, that’s a very valid reason to be upset.”

“I feel silly for crying, she’s just a cat.”

“It’s not silly, not at all, she’s your friend. We can go look for her in the woods if you'd like?”

Mountain shakes his head. “No, I think I’d just be more upset if we didn’t find her.”

“That’s okay, we can go back to the house if you wan-“

“Shit! I completely forgot about our date, I’m sorry, I didn’t-“

“It’s okay, we can plan it for a different day, one where your feeling a bit better.” Mountain nods.“Yes please.”

Swiss takes his hand, dragging him out of the greenhouse. “Common, I’ll make you on of my famous grilled cheese sandwiches, we can watch whatever nature documentary you want, and, I’ll even let you be the little spoon.”

Mountain hums, letting himself be dragged away by Swiss. “That sounds nice, thank you.”

When Mountain goes back to the greenhouse early in the morning, Swiss goes with him, not wanting him to be alone while he’s upset. When they walk in, to their surprise, they see a little black cat curled up within the pumpkins, with three little black kittens nursing on her.

“Holy shit, baby pumpkins.” Mountain gasps.

Swiss nudges his with his shoulder. “Look at that, big guy, you’re a you’re a grandpa.”

Mountain beams at him. “I’m a grandpa!”

Those Funny Feelings I Had Never Felt Before I Met You

Steven Universe » Lapidot

Title: Those Funny Feelings I Had Never Felt Before I Met You

Author: fairytalesandfolklore

Fandom: Steven Universe (Masterlist)

Relationship: Lapis Lazuli x Peridot

AO3 Rating: Teen & Up (a complete collection of author's notes, inspiration credits, content warnings and tags can be found on AO3)

Summary: After the Diamond War, everyone eagerly awaits for Peridot to re-form, Lapis missing her old barn-mate most of all.

Lapis takes to carrying Peridot's gem around with her everywhere she goes, gently closed in one small, blue fist. Despite Steven's insistence that her gem hadn't sustained any damage in the battle, Lapis can't help but glance down at it worryingly every few minutes, turning it over in her hands and watching as sunlight dances along its facets and explodes into a kaleidoscope of vibrant greens and fiery yellows against the sun-kissed, sandy shore that surrounds the beach house.

Read On AO3 | Read On Tumblr:

It's been three days since the Diamond War, and things are…well, as calm as can be expected after a battle between a bunch of royal and rebel space rocks wrecks your hometown, your giant murderous aunts have finally stopped trying to kill you and have accepted you as the half-organic spawn of their not-so-long-lost sister, and the bodies of two of your best friends have literally disappeared into thin air.

• • •

Steven sits with his hands cupping his chin, staring intently at a deep blue, tear-shaped gemstone nestled on a plush purple pillow beside a triangular, bright green jewel. After all the fighting, he'd sifted through the rubble and found both of their gems, breathing a sigh of relief when he'd realized they weren't cracked. He'd brought them inside, cleaned them up, and placed them in the middle of the kitchen table, where he thought they'd be safest. 

That is, until Amethyst came barreling in with a hankering for day-old wedding pancakes, and nearly knocked them to the floor in her pursuit. After that, he'd gently placed them on the plushiest cushion he could find, and kept them on his bedside table. He spent about 70% of his time just waiting and watching, needing to make sure that they were safe, that they weren't alone when they finally re-formed…that he'd be there to explain everything, to tell them how sorry he was.

"Come ooooon," Steven coaxes, poking and prodding at their gems like a kitten kneading its sleeping parents. "Please come back, you guys. I miss you. Pumpkin misses you. And I…I just…I need to make sure you're both okay. I have so much to tell you. So much has happened since the war. The Diamonds, they're—"

"Don't worry, Stee-man," Amethyst says with an air of nonchalance around a mouthful of moldy old hot dogs. "Lapis and Peridot will come back when they're good and ready. These things take time."

Steven quirks an eyebrow at her.

"Okay, maybe not for me," she amends with a mischievous grin, and Steven can't help but smile.

"Yes, I'm sure everything will be just fine," Pearl chimes in, wincing as bits of hot dog fly onto the once-sparkling kitchen counters she'd just wiped down. 

"Although…it has been three days," she adds with a note of concern. "You'd think at least Peridot would have re-formed by now. It's not exactly like her to procrastinate, or purposely miss out on anything. You're sure their gems sustained no damage in the battle?"

Steven whimpers, nodding even as his eyes scan over the gems he'd checked for injuries hundreds of times now. He feels a strong yet gentle hand on his shoulder, and looks up into the eyes of his favorite newlyweds.

"Patience, little one," Garnet says, smiling softly. "Not everyone comes back as instantly as Amethyst. Remember, Pearl took weeks with her regeneration. Every gem is different. There's a whole world of thoughts, feelings, memories, and personality inside each and every gem, and creating a brand new form takes a lot of hard work and concentration to get it just right."

"Plus, Peridot and Lapis are Homeworld Gems," Amethyst says pointedly. "So, you know…there's that."

"Does…does that make a difference?" Steven asks, confused. "I mean, Pearl, Ruby, and Sapphire were all Homeworld Gems once."

"That's true, but Steven, that was a very long time ago. After everything that's happened, it seems like a whole other lifetime," Pearl says with a wistful sigh. "Since then, we've all had thousands of years to fully experience life on earth. We chose to stay here and protect the earth, to become the Crystal Gems, to fight in the rebellion against Homeworld, to capture and subdue corrupted gems. We've all had our physical forms destroyed countless times now…but Peridot and Lapis are still so new to earth. They haven't had the chance to—"

"Yes, Steven, even Lapis," Garnet answers before Steven can even think to open his mouth. "Existing half-broken and trapped inside of a mirror for thousands of years is hardly what you'd call living."

"And Peridot," Amethyst says, feet dangling a few inches above the ground as she casually tilts back in her chair and balances on one dangerously wobbly leg. "She spent her whole life just blindly obeying Yellow Diamond's orders, feeling insecure about the way that she looked, and compensating with stuff like limb enhancers and robonoids and tech screens. She never really got a chance to decide what she likes, what makes her feel good about herself. Everything was always decided for her. Homeworld made her feel like she was defective, just because she was different. You and I both know what that's like."

Steven nods as a wave of sympathy for Lapis and Peridot crashes over him.

"As Homeworld gems who've only ever known a life of serving the Diamonds and abiding by their twisted rules, Peridot and Lapis have never had the opportunity to choose their own appearances, something that is special and unique to them," Garnet says thoughtfully. "They'll need time to figure out who and what they want to be, to find a look that suits them best. So, try not to fault them for taking a little bit longer than the rest of us. When they come back, and they will, don't you worry…it needs to be on their own terms, when they decide they're ready."

"I know," Steven says with a heavy sigh, wiping a stray tear from the corner of one of his eyes. "It's not that, it's just…I feel…"

"You feel responsible," Garnet answers for him, offering him a sympathetic smile. "For the circumstances that led to them needing a new form."

"But Steven, none of this was your fault," Pearl says solemnly, moving from the kitchen to hover over him along with Garnet. "The Diamonds have always been tumultuous and quick to violence. They destroyed entire solar systems with no regard for any of the life inhabiting them, just so they could expand their empire, and grow a species they deemed superior to all others. How could you have possibly known that they would come here, that they would start another war with us and destroy half the town?"

"Oh jeez," Steven reels, remembering the state of the beach littered with debris, the way the whole town had turned to chaos as the Diamonds' ships had started to arrive.

"More importantly," Garnet adds, before Pearl's matter-of-fact recounting could make Steven feel any worse. "You are not responsible for your mother's past mistakes. You might have Rose's gem, but you are neither Rose Quartz nor Pink Diamond."

Garnet kneels down so that she's eye-level with Steven, vanishes her visor, and places both hands on either side of his shoulders.

"You're Steven Universe," she says with a smile that reaches all three of her jewel-toned eyes. "You are your own person, you make your own decisions, and you care deeply about your friends and family. You didn't force them into battle. They chose to fight alongside you for a cause we all believe in. This is our home, we are a family, and that is worth protecting, no matter the cost."

Tears that finally, finally, have absolutely nothing to do with Blue Diamond stream down Steven's face as he wraps his arms around Garnet and buries his face into her shoulder pouf, a small smile slowly making its way across his lips.

"Thank you, Garnet," he whispers, before turning to face the living room at large. "Amethyst. Pearl. You guys always know just what to say."

"Any time," Garnet says, adjusting her magically conjured visor and giving him her patented thumbs-up, while Pearl simply beams at him, and Amethyst offers him a puffy-cheeked grin around a mouthful of marshmallows.

"Now, go call up Connie and do normal kid stuff for a change," Garnet says, patting Steven gently on the shoulder. "See a movie. Share a pizza. Buy out an entire shelf at The Big Donut. After what you've both just been through, you deserve it."

"We'll watch over Lapis and Peridot's gems while you're away," Pearl reassures him. "…and deal with the Diamonds."

"Not that anything'll even come up. They're all too busy trying to figure out how to fix all the gems they corrupted, anyway," Amethyst says with a roll of her eyes, chucking hot dog wrappers and an empty marshmallow bag haphazardly into the trash can and coming over to join the others. She fixes Steven with a wry smile. "Think you can manage a few hours of just being a normal kid?"

"I'll try," Steven chuckles, grabbing his cell phone and shoving it into the front pocket of his cheeseburger backpack.

"Oh, and Steven, there's one more thing we need to tell you," Garnet calls after him. Steven stops in his tracks and looks back, one foot in the living room, one foot out the door.

"We love you," Garnet says, her smile wide, warm, and genuine as her hands form a heart across her star-clad chest.

"I love you guys too," Steven says softly, the weight in his chest feeling infinitely lighter than it had before.

• • •

Out of the two of them, Lapis is the first to re-form, and it's hard to tell which shines brighter, the stars in Steven's eyes as he takes in the sight of her brand new form, or the collection of glittering constellations that sweep from waistline to hemline of her long, flowing dress in shades of silver and gold against a sea of cerulean and midnight blue, so vivid and dazzling it's as though she's swathed in the night sky itself. 

Her hair is slightly longer, but still just as wonderfully windswept as it had been before, barely grazing the curves of her collarbones as the gossamer straps of her dress fall gracefully to the apex of her arms in its new off-the-shoulder cut. A set of magnificent, arctic blue wings burst from the back of her tear-shaped gem like an ocean wave, and Lapis breathes a sigh of relief at the freedom of finally being able to take form again.

"Wow," Steven says, untangling himself from the giant bear hug he'd given her the very second she'd reappeared. "When you said you wanted to be a Crystal Gem, you really committed."

"What's a Crystal Gem without her stars?" Lapis asks with a wry chuckle, and then her expression falls slightly. "That is…if it's still okay with you guys? I know I haven't been the most…reliable. And I guess I…kind of destroyed your uncle's barn…after hijacking it and taking it with me to the moon. But I'm here now, and I want to stay…with you…with all of you, if that's—"

"Of course you're a Crystal Gem, Lapis," Steven reassures her with a sweet smile. "And not only because you were amazing on the battlefield, but because…well, we're a family…me, you, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Bismuth…and Peridot."

There's a bittersweet smile wrapped around that very last name that makes Lapis's heart plummet into her stomach.

"Peridot," Lapis says softly, and suddenly, memories from the battlefield come flooding back to her like a long-forgotten nightmare.

Lapis, she'd shouted, sprinting over to her in an adorable yellow sundress, eyes wide, filled with wonder and disbelief. You're really here. 

She'd sounded so small, so unsure, like she couldn't believe that Lapis was actually real and standing right in front of her, like she'd given up all hope that Lapis would ever find her way back home.

She wanted to tell her, Of course I'm here. I came back for you.

But there hadn't been enough time. Before she could get more than a few words out, they'd all been swept up in battle. And Peridot, she'd been—

Reckless. Stupid. Brilliant. Brave.

Lapis remembers the look on Peridot's face as she'd charged at Yellow Diamond, triumphant smile fading to sheer horror as she'd been struck by Yellow's lethal lightning, the way her form had splintered, a thousand tiny fissures scouring the surface of her skin, tearing her to pieces until she was nothing but a cloud of green and yellow dust. Most of all, Lapis remembers the fear that had shot through her heart for that split-second she'd thought Peridot's gem had been shattered. 

After that, everything had been a blur. She was dizzy, delirious, consumed by rage and thousands of years' worth of misery. Last time, she'd chosen to stay out of it, and look where that had gotten her. This time, she chose to fight. This time, she actually had something worth fighting for. She threw herself into battle, taunting the Diamonds, shouting, What else have you got? I've only just begun to fight! like a vicious battle cry, until she'd been destroyed herself.

And then, darkness.

Not endless, nor crushing, like the last time, but—

Quiet. Peaceful.

Nothing but ocean waves underneath an endless star-strewn sky.

Sometimes it's safer, staying inside your gem. 

No one hurts you. No one uses you. No one leaves you behind.

It's just you, alone in a world of your own design.

It can get pretty lonely, but it's…easier. 

Easier than owning up to your past mistakes. 

Easier than getting caught up in another war.

Easier than facing the reality that the one thing you cherish most in this world might be—

Lapis shakes her head as if to clear it, eyes frantically searching Steven's living room.

"Where's Peridot?" she asks with a note of rising panic. "Is she okay? Did she…did Yellow Diamond—"

On reflex, her hands curl into fists, jaw clenched in renewed anger.

"Don't worry, she's fine," Steven says in a quiet, reassuring voice.

Lapis breathes a sigh of relief, and a nervous laugh escapes along with it.

"She just…hasn't re-formed yet," he adds with a small frown.

"She…she's still in her gem?" Lapis asks, and Steven gives her a solemn nod.

"Can I see her?" she asks, taking Steven by surprise.

"See her…gem?" he asks.

"I know it sounds a little weird, but I just…" Lapis sighs, closes her eyes, and shakes her head. "I need to make sure that I'm actually there for her this time. I need her to see that I'm still here, that I'm staying, that I'm never leaving her again. I need to be there when she re-forms, to tell her how much I—"

Lapis falters, voice thick with unshed tears as she chokes on words she's not quite ready to say out loud, and then amends, "…how much she means to me."

• • •

In a whirlwind of emotional whiplash and royally messed up details, Steven had filled Lapis in on everything she'd missed while she'd been away; the truth about his mother, the aftermath of the first Gem War that had resulted in an army of corrupted gems, the startling end to the battle they'd fought little more than a week ago, how Steven had convinced the Diamonds that he was the living legacy of their long-lost pink protégé. She hadn't meant to snort with derisive laughter when she'd found out that the leader of the rebellion had actually been a Diamond herself, but she couldn't help it. The irony of it all was magnificent. As far as Lapis was concerned, it served the Diamonds right to have been betrayed by one of their own.

Just hearing the Diamonds' names, seeing a flash of their insignia, was enough to send any gem, regardless of ranking, into a state of panic. The Diamonds knew it, abused it, delighted in it. Fear of the Diamonds, of what they could do to her, had always been Lapis's driving force. Even before the first Gem War, fear had frozen her. Even though she knew it was wrong, Lapis had stood idly by while the Diamonds committed galaxy-wide genocide, invaded lush, green, thriving planets and hollowed them out until they were nothing but cold, desolate, crystalline colonies lined with lustrous steel and high-tech spires.

But Lapis had endured far worse in her time on earth than any method of torture the Diamonds could dream of. Captured during a war she wanted no part of and imprisoned for thousands of years inside of a mirror, cracked and broken and alone, stranded on a strange and unforgiving planet so very far from her own. Trapped at the bottom of the ocean in a twisted and mutually destructive relationship, dark and bleak and suffocating. So yeah, she'd meant it when she'd wiped away a stream of second-hand tears, fixed Blue Diamond with a menacing glare, and said, I've felt worse.

And when she'd finally started to recover, when she'd finally found a home and a family amidst a planet she'd spent so long loathing…the Diamonds had found a way to take that from her, too. After all, they'd been the reason she'd bolted, an all-consuming fear of history repeating itself chasing her to the isolation of the moon. And there she'd stayed, locked in a prison of her own making, watching over the friends she'd made and the family she'd chosen, convincing herself that leaving them behind was the safest option, terrified and trembling and holding her breath for a threat that might never come.

And when it had…

When the Diamonds had finally arrived like Lapis always knew they would…

All she'd felt was anger.

Lapis thinks back to that fateful moment she'd first appeared in the sky, hovering mere meters above Blue Diamond's head like an angel of death as her ghost-like wings beat against a star-strewn, inky black expanse, before dropping the barn and a smaller-than-average-lake's worth of water on top of her with as much force as she could muster…and a wicked smile flashes across her face.

Sure, the Diamonds might be playing nice now…and maybe, maybe, if enough time passes and they prove that they're worthy of the trust that Steven is so graciously granting them, she could find a way to forgive them for all of the bullshit they'd put her through…but they'd very nearly shattered Peridot, and right now, Lapis isn't exactly in a forgiving mood. So after Steven gives her free reign of the house and tells her she's welcome to stay as long as she likes, Lapis generally just tries to keep out of their line of sight. After all, she'd done her part. She'd stayed, and she'd fought. Now all that matters is protecting Peridot. 

• • •

Lapis takes to carrying Peridot's gem around with her everywhere she goes, gently closed in one small, blue fist. Despite Steven's insistence that her gem hadn't sustained any damage in the battle, Lapis can't help but glance down at it worryingly every few minutes, turning it over in her hands and watching as sunlight dances along its facets and explodes into a kaleidoscope of vibrant greens and fiery yellows against the sun-kissed, sandy shore that surrounds the beach house.

She spends half her time up here, sitting on the edge of the balcony overlooking the ocean, closing her eyes and melting into the moment, letting her hair whip around her shoulders as it dances in the salty sea air. In these moments, she imagines that there's a little green gem sitting beside her, fingers tangled in her hair, emitting tiny gasps and sighs as dolphins breach the surface and pirouette gracefully through the air. She can almost feel the not-so-delicate nudge to her side, the prickle of a pointed chin as Peridot nuzzles into her, claiming that the view from her lap is infinitely better than sitting upright.

Why don't we watch the sun come up, and figure out what we're going to do with all this time together, eh, Lazuli?

Her heart soars as she thinks back on the memory, but then a seagull cries or Bismuth laughs or Pearl starts scolding Amethyst over something stupid, and it plummets right back down into the pit of her stomach as she's ripped back into reality.

The rest of the time, particularly whenever Steven starts getting on her case about opening up and talking about her feelings, Lapis takes up Peridot's old haunt in the bathroom, lounging in the bathtub under the steady drip drip drip of the faucet, playing back snippets from Peridot's old tape recorder just to hear the sound of her voice, and absentmindedly petting the top of Pumpkin's head as she snuggles up into her side. 

To Lapis's relief, Pumpkin had forgiven her almost immediately, bounding up and tackling her the very moment she'd seen her. Or perhaps she'd simply forgotten Lapis had ever been gone in the first place. Lapis grimaces as she muses that it won't be nearly as easy getting Peridot to do the same.

Of course it won't, her subconscious scolds her. You abandoned her here. 

Lapis groans and sinks further down the bathtub's wall, only to realize she'd gotten herself stuck in an even more uncomfortable position. Not that any position in this god-awful bathtub could be considered remotely comfortable. But this is apparently where Peridot had stayed for quite some time after Lapis had left, drowning her sorrows in a never-ending stream of depressing country music and incoherent groaning. 

Lapis frowns as she thinks how miserable and lonely Peridot must have been. Probably about as miserable and lonely as Lapis had been without her. And she'd done it to herself. Lapis shakes her head, dismissing the thought. Her throat constricts with welled up tears as she clutches the little green gem in her palm, willing it to take form. But still, nothing happens. 

So she waits.

And waits.

And waits.

• • •

It's been two weeks since she'd re-formed, and Lapis is fed up. The bathroom door swings open with a crash as Lapis comes storming into the living room, Peridot's gem grasped tightly in her hand. The rest of the gems, who'd been watching Steven and Amethyst scarf down breakfast with varying degrees of horror and interest, snap their focus to the sudden intrusion, and five sets of eyes widen in concern.

"Uhh, Lapis?" Steven asks tentatively. "You okay there, bud?"

Lapis whips around to face him, anger flashing in her eyes.

"This is just like her, the stubborn clod," she says to no one in particular. "I'll bet she's only staying in there out of spite." 

"Hey now, it's okay," Steven says in an attempt to assuage her. "Remember, these things take ti—"

"What do you want from me, Peridot? What will it take to get you to come out and forgive me?" Lapis practically shouts, the venom in her voice at odds with the gentle way she's cradling Peridot's gem in the palm of her hands, staring down at it beseechingly. 

Steven hops down from his chair at the kitchen table, ready to break up the impending fight, but Garnet stills him with a reassuring hand placed on his shoulder, and shakes her head.

"Let them say what needs to be said," Garnet cautions cryptically, and Steven nods once, confused but ever-trusting of Garnet's judgment.

"Are you that petty that you're actually going to make me say it out loud?" Lapis asks, lower lip quivering and eyes crinkling as she stares down the little green gem.

"Fine!" she says, huffing out a frustrated sigh. "I made a mistake, okay? I regretted leaving the moment I broke atmosphere. I thought that taking the barn and everything in it would be enough, but it just wasn't home without you. I spent every single moment that I was away missing you. I missed that annoying little high-pitched mad scientist laugh of yours. I missed tending to our farm and watching all our vegetables grow. I missed making music and meep morps with you. I missed marathonning Camp Pining Hearts with you…the way you'd throw popcorn at the TV screen whenever Percy kissed Paulette…I even missed your insufferable rants about all the reasons Percy and Pierre were objectively the best for each other."

Lapis pinches her nose in an attempt to mimic Peridot's voice, and can't help the smile that crosses her face as she does.

"I miss falling asleep next to you," she says, voice growing softer and gentler as each word sparks another memory. "I miss holding you close and keeping you calm when it rains and the thunder gets too loud and gives you nightmares about the cluster. There's no thunderstorms on the moon…it's just quiet, and cold, and lonely.  Nothing ever happens. Nothing ever changes. It's just…still. Nothing was ever still on earth. Not the seasons, or the trees, or the vegetable patch outside our home. And especially not you. I kind of started to like that."

Lapis heaves a quiet sob, a dejected sigh.

"I miss the way you bugged me like every two seconds to check in on me and make sure I was okay. All you ever did was try to protect me, even if it meant shoving down your own feelings or outright lying to me. And it was annoying as hell and I hated every second of it, but I miss it. And maybe the reason I hated it…or, I don't know…pretended to hate it so much was because I just wasn't used to someone actually caring about me for once. It's terrifying, letting someone get close to you, when all your life, all you'd ever done was try to shut the whole world out. It's terrifying when someone knows you so well, knows how broken and fucked up you are, and wants to stay by your side anyway."

"But you did. You stayed. And you never left, not even once. Out of everyone in this miserable old universe, you're the only one who truly knows me. You were the only one who ever saw through my bullshit façade of pretending not to give a shit and realized that the actual problem with me…is that I feel too much."

By now, she's more than a little aware that everyone's eyes are fixed on her, that they can hear every word of this impromptu declaration, that her intended audience might not even be able to hear any of it at all, but she no longer cares. She's tired of pretending.

"I had something so wonderful and so perfect and so pure, and the idea of losing that scared the hell out of me," Lapis confesses, voice wavering as tears threaten to break her resolve. "I didn't realize just how much it all meant to me until…until you were almost…"

A blinding yellow light. Tiny cracks forming across the surface of her best friend's skin. Fragments bursting into a cloud of bright green smoke. One moment she was there, fighting beside them all, laughing and shouting and boasting about her exceptional launch, and in the next moment, she was gone. 

The memory of it overwhelms her.

"I thought Yellow Diamond had shattered you," Lapis whispers. "And I…the thought of you being gone forever…that scared me more than anything."

"I spent so much time being afraid…of the Diamonds, of the Crystal Gems, of getting caught up in another war, of my own feelings. I spent so much time terrified of the very idea of being trapped again, that I abandoned everything I ever cared about and built a prison of my own making on the moon. I'm a self-fulfilling prophecy," Lapis says as she breathes out a shaky laugh, closing her eyes and pressing Peridot's gem to her heart. 

"I ruined everything. I ruined us," Lapis says softly, dipping her head down to press her lips against the top of the little green gem as she clutches it to her chest. "And I know we probably can't go back to the way things used to be, but…I'm going to do whatever it takes to earn back your trust. I'm sorry. I am so, so sorry. Please come back, Peridot. Please."

Lapis heaves a sob that masquerades as a sigh, tears silently streaming down her face. She turns to face the room at large and is met with five sets of glistening eyes and encouraging smiles, each conveying their bittersweet solemnity better than words ever could. Her eyes lock momentarily with Steven's, before glancing back down at the little green gem cradled in the palm of her hands, willing it to come to life. 

But it remains as still as ever.

…until it doesn't.

A single tear dances down the curve of Lapis's cheekbones and splashes onto the surface of Peridot's gem, igniting it like a broken curse. The little green gem glows brighter and brighter until its blinding light fills the entire room, casting the walls in brilliant shades of yellow and green as it rises from Lapis's outstretched hands, suspended in midair.

• • •

Her hair is what changes the most. For all the time Peridot spent worrying about where she'd put the star once she became an official Crystal Gem, it never occurred to her that she could re-shape her hair. Where it was once flawlessly kept in a perfectly-pointed triangular style, it's now tousled and untamed, a short pixie cut that sticks up at random angles like it's been zapped by several thousand volts of electricity, but still somehow manages to come to five very distinct points in the shape of a star. Her visor is gone, revealing a pair of bright green eyes and a smattering of freckles in the shape of tiny golden stars dusted across the bridge of her nose.

The top portion of her brand new outfit features the same v-cut design as it had before, but instead of bearing the Diamond's emblem at its base, it now kisses the crown of a magnificent five-pointed star that wraps around the front of her torso, its design outlined in multi-colored triplicate as it fades from buttercream yellow to deepest evergreen. Garnet smirks when she sees it, flattered that her long-worn style had inspired Peridot's new look. 

But Peridot hardly notices, eyes wide and fixed on the gaze of the beautiful blue gem standing in front of her. An emerald blush spreads across her star-kissed cheekbones as Lapis's eyes rove over her new form, assessing what's new, what's different, which little change she likes most of all. Her lips curve into a smile when she notices the distinct absence of yellow diamonds adorning Peridot's knees, replaced instead with twin golden stars atop a pair of dark green gravity connectors.

Lapis freezes when Peridot's eyes lock onto hers, and with an embarrassed jolt, she realizes that she's been staring for far too long, that it's been three whole minutes since Peridot re-formed, and she still hasn't said a damn thing. Hastily wiping stray tears from her eyes, Lapis rearranges her features into what she hopes is an air of casual nonchalance, and says what is possibly the dumbest thing she has ever said in her entire existence.

Peridot's eyes narrow.

"Hey," she repeats, deadpan. 

Lapis swallows thickly, a sapphire blush prickling the apples of her cheeks.

"Seriously?" Peridot shrieks, her voice rising to an impossibly shrill decibel that makes Pumpkin whimper and run for cover. 

Lapis winces. 

"That was the wrong thing to say, wasn't it? You're mad at me now," she muses, her features pinched into a regretful grimace.

Peridot's eyebrows rise so high they practically disappear into her hairline. Her mouth falls open, almost comically so. For a moment, she's stunned to silence. And then the floodgates burst open.

"OF COURSE I'M MAD," Peridot shouts loud enough to make everyone but Garnet jump in surprise, her hands balled into tiny green fists, shaking at her sides. "You disappear for months on end, taking the barn and all of our morps with you, leaving Pumpkin and me behind to just...deal with the devastation of losing the first home we've had since coming to this stupid, wonderful planet…and then you just show up out of NOWHERE and drop our barn on Blue, get POOFED in the biggest battle of our LIVES against the clodding DIAMONDS...and when it's all over and we finally get our forms back, all you have to say to me is HEY?!"

Logically, Lapis knows that Peridot is absolutely right. Logically, she knows that Peridot has every right to react this way. Logically, she knows that she can't fault Peridot for having not heard a single word of her heartfelt speech. She'd only just come back into existence a mere five minutes prior, after all. But with all of these conflicting emotions bubbling up inside of her, waging a war between her head and her heart, with all of her anger at the Diamonds, guilt over abandoning ship, and bashful vulnerability over having spilled her heart out to the tiny green gem now standing in front of her, fuming and heartbroken and calling her out for all of her screw-ups, the logical side of her brain doesn't feel like cooperating at the moment. So instead of just owning up and apologizing like she'd been planning and rehearsing for the past two weeks, she does the worst thing imaginable: she gets indignant, and defensive, and retreats back into the shell she'd worked so hard to break free from.

"It's not like I didn't ask you to come with me!" Lapis retorts with a frustrated sigh. "I planned our whole escape around making sure we had everything you wanted. You were the one who insisted we take Pumpkin and the barn and all five seasons of Camp fucking Pining Hearts with us. I did this for you, Peri. I did it for us."

"You didn't ask me," Peridot scoffs, a low, feral growl prowling around each syllable as she barks out an incredulous reply. "You just decided, and expected me to go along with it. Don't pretend like you did all of this for me. You never stopped for a second to ask me what I wanted, or how I felt!"

"Why didn't you just tell me, then?" Lapis bites back, deep blue blotches painting the pulse points along her neck and collarbones as her temper rises. "Why did you lie and say you were okay with it?"

"Because," Peridot snarls angrily, lips poised around a venomous retort about walking on eggshells and letting the past die and how stubborn and unreasonable Lapis can be. But before she lets herself go too far and say something unforgivable, she cuts herself off, shoulders slumping in defeat as she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath to steady herself. When she looks back up into Lapis's eyes, there's no trace of anger or resentment there, just wistful longing.

"Because I didn't want to upset you," she amends, voice softer than a whisper. "I wanted to make you happy…even if it meant that I wasn't."

Lapis falters, breath hitching in the back of her throat.

"But I couldn't just leave it all behind," Peridot continues, tone stronger, more confident, as she fixes Lapis with an imploring stare. "The life we've built here on earth, the family we became a part of…that means something to me. And before you left, I'd thought…well, I thought it had finally started to mean something to you, too. The barn and all the stuff we kept in it isn't what made this place home. You and Steven and Garnet and Amethyst and Pearl and Bismuth, and Pumpkin and Connie and Greg…they're what make this place home. And what you were asking me to do…it wasn't fair. You were asking me to choose between losing them and losing you. You were asking me to choose between two halves of my home."

Lapis releases the breath she'd been holding, caught somewhere between a sob and a sigh as tears prickle the corners of her eyes. Her whole body deflates, all of her anger and sadness and defensiveness melting away with each breath she takes. 

All this time, she'd thought that Peridot was simply too young, too new, too naïve to truly understand the severity of the threat the Diamonds posed over all the little underling gems scattered across their expansive empire. But Peridot hadn't been foolish or reckless or too emotional for her own good. She'd been brave.

All this time, she couldn't understand how Peridot could be so bold, so defiant in the face of something so terrifying. Lapis had thought that she was doing the right thing. She had thought that she was protecting them. But everything she'd done, she'd done out of cowardice, out of impulse and fear, out of a selfish need for self-preservation. She'd run away in an attempt to save herself, while Peridot had chosen to stay and fight for the greater good.

"I know," Lapis chokes out around a heavy sigh. "I know, and I'm sorry. It was wrong of me to make you choose…to just up and leave like that."

"I was just so scared," she breathes, just barely above a whisper.

"Of course you were. I know what you've been through, Laz," Peridot replies, her tone as dulcet and soothing as the warm mugs of cocoa Lapis always used to make for her whenever there was a thunderstorm. 

"But we're a team," she continues, the corners of her eyes crinkling ever so slightly as her lips quirk up into an encouraging smile. "We'll protect each other. That's what family does. I'm proud to call the earth our home. I'm proud to be a Crystal Gem. And being a Crystal Gem means fighting to protect what you love. The life we've built here…it's like nothing I ever knew on Homeworld. Isn't that worth fighting for?"

The look in Peridot's eyes as she talks about her home, their home, and all of the things she loves so much she's willing to sacrifice everything just to hold onto them, is so bright, so hopeful, that Lapis can't help but smile back down at her.

"Of course it is," she says, without missing a beat. "Why do you think I came back?"

Peridot's face breaks out into the biggest, goofiest grin that Lapis has ever seen, and a hint of deep blue rushes back into her cheeks at the sight of it.

"And you're really back…for good this time?" Peridot asks, hesitant and hopeful all at once, as though she hardly dares to believe it, lest she get her hopes up again.

"Yeah," Lapis says confidently. "This is my home. And I'm not leaving home ever again."

Lapis feels the equivalent of a tiny brick wall collide into her open arms. It knocks the air from her lungs, but she smiles all the same, wrapping her arms around Peridot's shoulders and holding her close. Peridot nuzzles her face into Lapis's neck, breathing a sigh of relief and quipping out a muffled, good, because I missed you, you big, beautiful clod, against the fabric of Lapis's dress.

Lapis chuckles softly, heart jettisoning into her throat as Peridot makes a series of contented hums and sighs that vibrate against her ribcage and make the tips of her fingers twitch and tingle. She reaches up to gently card her hands through Peridot's hair, delighting in the little shiver it sends down the green gem's spine. As if led by instinct, she places a finger underneath Peridot's chin and gently lifts it up to meet her eyes.

"And by home, I mean you," she confesses as she places her lips ever so softly against Peridot's, capturing her in their very first kiss. Granted, it's a little difficult for her to maintain that kiss, since Peridot is smiling so hard beneath her lips. Lapis giggles, reaching up to gently cup the side of Peridot's face in the palm of her hand, effectively pulling her closer.

And all at once, it's not just the two of them anymore. A burst of blue and green light erupts all around them, glowing like the embers of a bluebell flame as their forms change shape, fusing into one. Lapis and Peridot let out a gasp as they stare down at the same set of outstretched hands, skin the color of an arctic glacier that's been kissed by mint. The second odd thing they notice is that their shared vision is slightly obscured, and with a startling jolt, they realize that Peridot's classic visor has made a comeback, glinting in the early morning sunlight that pours through the living room window as it rests against the bridge of their button nose.

Their hair is whimsically wild, cut to the curve of their pointed chin in brilliant shades of turquoise and teal, flaring out at gravity-defying angles like magnificent crystals in an underwater grotto. The hem of their long, flowing dress cascades over their bare feet like an ocean wave, split on one side up the length of their thigh to reveal a pair of dark teal leggings underneath. It's a perfect combination of the two of them, its sweetheart neckline mimicking the top portion of Peridot's form, but with Lapis's off-the-shoulder gossamer straps. At its heart is a bright turquoise star with the ghost of a rainbow in pastel hues of aqua and seafoam trailing behind it in a burst of vibrant color. 

Amidst an array of surprised gasps and jaw-dropping stares, Steven giggles as he realizes that their fusion's star looks suspiciously like the production logo for Camp Pining Hearts, and makes a mental note to introduce them to some better TV shows. For all this time, they'd forgotten that they weren't alone, and the sound of Steven's laughter jolts them back into reality. The tentative smile spreading across this new fusion's lips falters, and a look of overwhelming panic overtakes her. A whirlwind of conflicting emotion grips them both, and their combined form fractures until they're two separate gems once more, staring at one another with mingled looks of shock and surprise.

"Oh my stars," Peridot panics, jumping about a foot away from Lapis as though she'd just been burned. "Lapis, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to just—"

"No, no, it's okay," Lapis reassures her, stepping forward to close the space between them. "I wanted to."

"Really?" Peridot asks, her voice so small, soft, and unsure.

"Yes," Lapis insists with a lighthearted chuckle.

"It's just, after Jasper, I figured—" Peridot starts.

Lapis reaches out for Peridot's hand, lacing their fingers together and giving her an affectionate squeeze. Peridot stares down at their entwined hands, dumbfounded.

"This is different," Lapis says simply, offering Peridot a small smile. "This time, I fused for love." 

Peridot beams up at her, eyes wide and full of wonder.

"So," she says slowly, a deep green blush settling over the curves of her cheekbones, illuminating the collection of tiny golden stars scattered across them. 

"Do you…maybe want to try that again?"

Lapis giggles.

"Sure," she says, her smile warm and genuine.

And before Peridot can say anything else, she's been swept off her feet, caught by the waist and dipped backward with a graceful twirl, both of them giggling as Lapis leads them in their dance. Peridot reaches up to kiss the tip of Lapis's nose, just before the two of them are swallowed up in a dazzling glow of blue and green light.

The new fusion hums cheerfully as she settles back into her brand new form, adjusting her visor and running her hands through her hair, over the straps of her dress, and down her form-fitting leggings, exploring and taking note of everything that's changed, everything the two of them have created together. A pair of liquid wings the color of tropical waters bursts out of the back of Lapis's gem, eliciting a delighted shiver from the new fusion. With a curious smile and a flick of her wrist, she summons Peridot's tech screen, which flies immediately into her outstretched hands. 

"I have metal and water wielding powers?" she exclaims with an air of impish excitement, lips twitching up into a mischievous smirk. "Cool."

A resounding whoop issues from the back of the kitchen, and the new fusion turns to find Amethyst and Bismuth grinning like madwomen and cheering them on. Steven is jumping up and down with so much enthusiasm he's practically shaking Pearl, who merely rolls her eyes as she casts them an amused smile and says, "Ugh, finally." Garnet beams at them with pride, her smile wider than they've ever seen it.

"So," Steven says brightly as he walks toward them, stars shining in his eyes. "What should we call you? You're gonna need a name."

The newly fused Lapis and Peridot think on that for a moment, and then—

"Turquoise," she replies, her smile radiant. "Yes, that feels right. I'm Turquoise."

"Hello, Turquoise," Garnet says as she walks across the living room and places her hands in theirs. "Welcome to the fusion family."

Morning bebbies, and catching up

Morning bebbies, and catching up

My original plan of the day was to continue mowing the lawn after doing my morning rounds. Unfortunately, I realized that I would need to get new SD cards for the new trail cam, which did not come with its own. Since I switch cards every morning, each camera needs two card, and the old SD cards we’ve been using for the past few years are starting to wear out. Which meant a trip into town, after…

[imyourbratzdoll]

Can you do one we’re Lloyd is getting married to y/n but her ex crashes the venue?

hello, sorry this took so long! I hope you liked what I came up with.

prequel

summary - an unwanted ex crashes your wedding and exposes your kinky ways to your soon-to-be husband, do you think the wedding was called off?

warning - angst, fluff, talk of being fucked by something, sexual talk, gun talk, special guest.

the gif I use isn't mine, divider by @newlips

His eyes were so warm and intense on you that you were sure he could read all your thoughts, everything you felt about him, written in your pupils. Lloyd smiled, opening his mouth as he began his vows.

“I’m so happy I met you, Pumpkin. I remember when I first saw you. You were walking through a field of flowers, wearing a pretty white dress and a daisy in your hair. At that moment, I knew I had to get to know you, and I couldn’t let someone so beautiful slip through my fingers.” He smiles, eyes staring intensely into yours, which happened to be filled with happy tears. Lloyd clears his throat, making sure his voice doesn’t crack as he continues. “I want to cook you dinner, even though I can’t. I want to tuck you into bed and make sure you sleep okay every night, all the time. I want to play with your hair until you fall asleep. I want to cuddle you for hours or get lost travelling with you. I want to be at dinner with you, somewhere different and move my hand up your legs.” As he says this, Lloyd wiggles his brows. “I want to fuck you till you can’t move. I want to punish you just because I fucking can, and I promise, Pumpkin, that I will love you for eternity, and if I somehow upset you and break my vows, you can shoot me wherever you want.” 

A soft smile appears on your face, but as you open your mouth, about to respond, you are interrupted by someone slowly clapping. You and Lloyd turn your head, and your eyes widen as your ex-boyfriend Ransom freaking Drysdale stands there. 

Ransom grins, “I gotta say, those were some awesome fucking vows.” He strolls forward, winking as he takes a swig from the whiskey bottle in his hand. Your hand quickly reaches out to stop Lloyd from grabbing the gun in his waistband. “Aww, is the big guy getting mad? Scared she’s going to come running back to me? I mean, I wouldn’t blame her. All those nights together, mmm.” He exaggerates a moan, eyes rolling back as he tries to get under Lloyd’s skin.

“What do you want, Ransom?” You huff, arms folding in front of your chest as the happiness you were feeling slowly gets sucked out of you. “How the hell did you even know I was here?” The feeling of Lloyd’s arm wrapping around you spreads secureness throughout your body.

Ransom smiles, “Your little bridesmaid there, get her going enough, and she’ll happily spill your whereabouts.” His eyes stare you down, looking for a flare of jealousy to spark in your eyes, but all he’s met with is disgust. His eyes move over to the red-faced bridesmaid, giving her a smirk. “C’mon, why don’t you tell the bride all of the things you let me do to you that made you spill.”

“Ransom. That’s enough. What do you want?” The rage building inside of you was becoming too much. Your fingers twitch as you itch to reach behind and grab Lloyd’s gun. Not even his hold is comforting you, and that’s the scary part. You swear you can feel him press a soft kiss against your head, whispering sweet words, but you can’t be sure as redness tries to take over.

“Well, Kitten. I want you back.” He rolls his eyes, drinking from the bottle. A giant grin appears on his face when Lloyd grunts and his sharp blue eyes make their way over to Lloyd’s. “Hey, buddy! I got a question for ya!” Ransom strides closer, tapping Lloyd’s cheek as he speaks but huffs when his hand is swiped away. “Jeez, calm down.” Ransom pouts, not expecting you people to be so rude. 

“Are you guys as kinky in bed as we once were?” The smirk on his face says it all, and your eyes widen knowing where he’s going with this. “You all wanna hear what I fucked her with?” He spins, speaking to everyone in the room. Some eyes and mouths were wide open, and some gasped. They’d probably gasp more if he said what he fucked you with. Ransom turns, staring you deep into your eyes. “Should I tell them, Kitten? You think he’d still want you after knowing how much of a whore you really are?”

You shake your head, refusing to meet anyone’s eyes as you think back to the night he was talking about. You and Lloyd aren’t vanilla at all but for him to hear this on your wedding day from your ex wasn’t something you wanted to happen. Ransom nods, taking your silence and turns to look Lloyd in the eyes with a dark smirk.

“You ever fuck her with a lollipop?” Lloyd’s brows shoot up, his head moving to look at you, wondering why he hasn’t even thought of that yet. “Ah! You haven’t?” Ransom chuckles, forcing his whiskey into a random person’s arms before he excitedly claps. “Fuck! I did that. I fucked her with a lollipop. She liked it, though. She liked it a lot!” His eyes never leave Lloyd’s as he says this. Ransom licks his lips as he thinks of how hot you looked, sprawled out, little whines escaping you as he thrusts the small lolly into your dripping hole. 

Ransom looks at you, his eyes piercing through you. “I can’t stop thinking of you and that lollipop.” He groans, head thrown back as he continues. “Jesus, do you know how fucking sexy you looked, letting me fuck you with it. Remember when you had a taste?” Ransom licks his lips, raising a brow as your eyes dart down. “Of course you do, Kitten. You were begging for that taste, the best fucking taste out there. A bit of cherry mixed with you. Fuck! I’m getting so fucking hard thinking about it.” His hand reaches down and grabs his junk, “Why stay with a boring man like Lloyd Hansen when you can have me back, Kitten? Don’t you miss me?” 

“No, Ransom. I don’t miss you, and there’s a reason I’m marrying Lloyd instead of you.” Your glare is set on the man. His brow raises as he waits for you to come up with an excuse. “No woman wants a man who has his eyes on every woman.” 

Lloyd looks down at you. Leaning forward, he places a soft kiss against your head before turning and grabbing Ransom by his throat. The sound of choking can be heard as Lloyd walks Ransom out of the area and throws him to the side. He leans down. “You ever come near us again, and I’ll put a bullet in your head.” As he stands, he kicks Ransom in the side before walking back to where you stand, and Lloyd can see how worried you are that he wouldn’t come back.

“You ready to become Mrs Hansen, Pumpkin?” Lloyd smiles when a bright smile appears on your face. He walks over to you and brings you into his arms. “You’re lucky. I love you.” He warns. “Because I wouldn’t stand for it otherwise.”

You grin, resting your chin on his chest as you look up at him. “You’re lucky. I love you. Because you’re a total asshole, and there aren’t a lot of girls who’d put up with it.” Lloyd looks down at you, shocked, but it’s soon replaced with a loving smile.

The priest clears his voice. “After that… Lovely interruption. Would you two like to continue?” The two of you look at one another. Hands interlocked as you nod. 

The wedding may not have been one of a fairytale, but Lloyd did get to test out that lollipop.

thank you for reading!

2 pumpkins!!! 😭😭😭 my evanstan heart craves thinking 1 is for Seb and 1 for Chris ❤️❤️ just sharing thoughts

related to this

Okay okay okay, so-

Thoughts:

Chris knows Sebastian is a full fucking grown man and he's well aware that he can and does regularly use knives proficiently without injuring himself by accident, but the first year they carve pumpkins together-

Chris is a little worried because he also knows that Sebastian is clumsy despite those aforementioned knife skills. Not that he voices those worries out loud though. He doesn't because he doesn't want to undermine Sebastian and he also doesn't want to treat him like a child that cannot be trusted with sharp object. Still, he doesn't want Seb to slip or goof off too much and maybe, accidentally hurt himself...

So, perhaps, Chris hovers a little too close to Sebastian, or he very very carefully hands over all the utensils (making sure to offer the knives to Seb by the handle), or he keeps stopping his own carving to watch Sebastian.

Which eventually, even though Chris doesn't say out loud that he's worried about Seb, Seb figures it out. He smiles crookedly at the realization, puts a hand on his chest, mock offended, and gasps, "are you seriously afraid I'm gonna hurt myself? I've carved pumpkins so many times! I practiced flipping knives for months for Bucky!" Then he slaps Chris' shoulder lightly, teasing, "talk about overprotective boyfriend!"

Chris is horrified for a moment, he knows Sebastian isn't serious--he can hear it in his voice easily--but... he can't stop his mind from racing to the negatively overprotective, controlling, and infantilizing base of those worries. Obviously, not the best instincts. Chris feels disappointed in himself, biting his lip.

Though-

He doesn't get to dwell on it.

Because Sebastian is quick to drop all his tools for carving, take the tools Chris had in hand away, and lean in to pepper his face with kisses. Promising, "I'm kidding, I'm kidding!" knowing how nasty the voices in the back of Chris' head can be. Sebastian goes on though, between kisses over his cheeks, nose, chin, forehead, and lips, showering him in affection, "I think it's really sweet, babe. You're very protective. It's nice. It reminds me how much you love me."

Chris kisses him back eagerly, grabbing onto him desperately and breathing, "I love you."

"I know. You show me every day-" Chris isn't ashamed to say his eyes water. "I love you too."

A soft sound is punched out of Chris' chest. Sue him. The holidays just make his bubbling emotions bubble even more--maybe bubbling over.

Sebastians grin is sweet and sunny despite the mess Chris is turning into, "besides, you're not wrong, Chris, you were there when I slipped in the shower this morning..." he laughs, cheeks pink.

"I was there," Chris murmurs softly. Holding Seb close.

Seb willingly collapses into Chris' welcoming lap with a dramatic flourish, "you were there and you saved me from cracking my head open on the shower floor! My hero. My prince in shining armor. Where would I be without you? Nursing bruises on my own or laying on the shower floor wondering how I got down there and why there's such a big bruise on my head," he chuckles.

Chris laughs, big and bright, at his playful teasing. It makes Seb smile hard enough his cheeks hurt.

Chris cards a gentle, giant hand through Seb's getting-long-again hair, whispering, "I love you."

Seb leans up into his hand like a kitten being stroked, he whispers too, voice tinted with a smile, "I love you too."

Bonus:

Some examples of Seb's (adorable) clumsy behavior:

Stupid Cupid

Summary: Dean's upset when a Cupid marks him with an arrow but not his soulmate, or so he thinks. As he struggles to come to terms, he calls her everything other than her actual name, though maybe that's just a part of getting struck by true love.

Pairing: Dean x reader

Fandom: Supernatural

Square: Excessive nicknaming of characters @howbadcanitbebingo​

Word Count: 1,248 

Warnings: language, name calling, kissing, implied smut (established friends with benefits relationship), fluff

A/N: Something silly just for fun. Enjoy... and Happy Valentine's Day 💝 Written for @howbadcanitbebingo​.

_____

"Stupid, Cupid." Said Dean, walking into the motel room, stripping off his soaked jacket and throwing it onto the chair.

"What are you muttering over there, sourpuss?" You asked, pulling off your wet clothes since you guys had gotten caught in the rain chasing down the monster of the week.

Which turned out not to be the cupid you ran into, who of course Dean just had to go and make friends with. He wasn't a fan and he made sure to tell you that every two minutes on the ride to the motel.

There wasn’t much privacy in the room to begin with and since the two of you had a sort of friends with benefits thing going on for a while now, you didn’t care to cover up. You’d certainly seen it all and so had Dean.

"Nothing, sweetheart." He brushed you off, muttering under his breath, "...dumb, giant baby."

With Valentine’s day fast approaching, Sam took some time off to go who knows where, doing who knows what with Eileen. Leaving you to deal with one very grumpy Dean. He’d been in a mood since the start of the case and there’d been nothing you could do to snap him out of it. And you tried everything, until you’d finally had enough of his attitude.

"That’s it! What is wrong with you, De?" You snapped, tossing your wet shirt at him, leaving you in your bra and jeans. It hit him in the face with a satisfying slap sound and you giggled at the face he made.

"I'm not even talking to you, nosy parker." He stated, his eyes lingering a little too long on your chest to just be friends and he muttered again, "...frigging, wingless diaper muncher."

"You're obviously not talking to anyone else, old man." You bickered, putting your hands on your hips and staring at him.

"Don't start with me, sunshine- And you're not a hell of a lot younger than me so I'd watch it, dollface." He said, pulling off his wet shirts and tossing them in the pile on the ground with yours.

It was your turn to cast him a lingering glance. He was the perfect combination of soft and muscular and you bit your lip trying to trap a sigh. Your cheeks heating up too quickly, but he didn’t notice, too busy trying to hide his own growing feelings for you.

"I know but you get so angry when I call you a geezer. It's adorable." You smirked, you didn’t know why but you always loved teasing him when he was already annoyed.

"And you think that's funny, little girl?" He asked with a raise of his eyebrows.

"Uh-huh, plus I think you're kinda cute when you're all flustered, tough guy." You chuckled.

“I’m not the one who’s redder than a tomato right now, jiggles.” He pointed out, finally noticing the hue in your cheeks.

"Whatever, nipple sucker."

"Hey. You like it when I do that, pumpkin." He said matter-of-factly, his tongue peeking between his lips as he grinned at you and tilted his head.

“That was one time-”

“And every other time after that-”

“Shut up or it’s never happening again, dork.” You threatened, feeling even hotter than before.

“I can hold out a lot longer than you can, sweetness.” He bet, sliding his jeans down his thick thighs, leaving him in just his fitted red boxers. The ones with the little black hearts that you'd gotten him. He watched you squirm and bite the inside of your cheek as you filled with need. “Tough noogies, kitten.”

“Tease.” You called him.

“Brat.”

“Jerk.”

“Ass-butt.”

"Watch it, Dean, your Cas is showing... Hoser." You muttered.

"Excuse me, peanut, what did you just call me?"

"...Honey."

"That's not what you said, darling." He shook his head.

"How would you know, weirdo? You've been ignoring me all night; muttering insults every time you think I'm not listening, dick." You cursed, finally calling him out on it.

"Not everything’s about you, cupcake." He shook his head.

"Sure it's not, babe." You rolled your eyes, if it hadn’t been something you’d done, it had to be about you. Otherwise, you would’ve gotten it out of him by now, you always did. Sam called it your superpower. “You know I’ll get it out of you sooner or later, buddy, and I’d rather not do this all night. I’ve got other plans in store for you, big guy.”

"If you must know, princess, that damn cupid jabbed me with an arrow before he disappeared. So I'm not really in the mood for your teasing. Alright, buttercup?" Dean explained dryly.

"Alright... Why aren’t you with your soulmate then, Casanova?" You continued to tease ever so slightly.

"The butthead didn't mark her. Said something about karma- I don't know, he was still pissed that I punched in the face, the cry-baby." Dean rolled his eyes, he never liked cupids, especially when they greeted him with a hug in their birthday suit no less.

"Oh... Are you sure about that, handsome? I mean, how do you even know who she is?" You asked, chewing on the edge of your thumbnail.

"Trust me, beautiful, I know. I felt it before he even touched me, it's just more... intense now." He said, his emerald eyes searching yours for something.

"So what are you gonna do about it, Romeo?" You egged him on, knowing exactly how he was feeling.

"Not much I can do, sugarplum." Dean breathed with sad eyes, avoiding your gaze.

"You sure about that, stud muffin?" You asked, scrunching up your forehead.

"Yeah..." He sighed.

"Yeah?" You questioned, squinting up at him and grinning like an idiot.

"Uh- what are you getting at, chipmunk?" He replied, mirroring your grin after a moment.

"He marked me too, squirrel." You admitted, tugging your bottom lip between your teeth and letting it go slowly.

"When?!"

"While you were renting the room, dumby. Cupids don't mess around with true love, love-bug.” You said, noticing a look of relief in his bright eyes, like a weight was lifted off of his shoulders. “So, good-looking, you like me, eh?" You asked, wetting your lips in antici... -pation.

"Cuddle bug, you have no idea." He breathed, closing the distance between you far too slowly for your liking.

"Why don't you show me, squishy." You pulled him down by the back of his neck and into a needy kiss.

His lips slipping between yours as he struggled to keep up, still shocked that you were actually meant for him this whole time. He loved the idea of that, belonging to each other after craving all of you for so long. You were written in the stars together.

"Pretty girl, wait.” He panted, breaking the kiss but staying close enough to feel your moist breath on his skin. He was having second thoughts already 'cuz let's face it, it's Dean; he never thinks he's good enough even when he most definitely is. “Maybe we should call Cas, maybe he can reverse this."

"Is that even what you want, doofus?" You pleaded, just wanting to keep on kissing him.

"No, Y/N/N. Of course I want you, angel.” But he had to ask one last time. “You sure you want me for keeps, baby girl?"

"Shut up and kiss me, tiger." You moaned, pulling him down to meet your lips again, letting out a small squeak when he nibbled on your bottom lip and unhooked your bra.
