Literally started this blog just to say how hypocritical F1 – both the people working in it, and the sport itself – is becoming. The main 3 things I want to address is: no.1 women in motorsport, no2 the ongoing genocide in palestine and no3 F1's disallowance of anything political, yet enabling the absolute political shitshow that was the 2024 miami gp.
Numéro 1: I just think its absolute bullshit that the FIA genuinely created a whole ‘Women in Motorsport Commission’, assigned SIX STRONG ambassadors to it, and THEN proceeded (come 2023) to launch a wholeass unfair investigation onto one of them, based on the MOST groundless claims?? Like wtf?? (Talking abt Susie Wolff here). Also, the whole Cristian Horner situation really showed just how much they care about women working under them, bc tell me why the possible victim in his situation was the one getting SUSPENDED, while this possible filth of a man is still parading shamelessly around the paddock?? Like??? AND SOME OF THE DRIVERS COMMENTS ON THE SIRUATION?? pissed me off so much u dont even understand. Anyway, my last point on this convo is how women should ALSO be taken accountable of their actions, and not just glossed over because they’re ‘women’, over here im specifically talking abt Bianca Bustamante and her liked tweet which calls lance stroll autistic… girl :| and her apology was so atrocious as well. T-T
Numéro 2: The fact that not ONE driver (excluding Lewis Hamilton — that man is so much more than a driver) has spoken up/ posted about the situation pisses me off SO much bc?? THOUSANDS of people are dying, and with the platform you have, the fans you have, you could have such a positive effect! This is ESPECIALLY targeted on the drivers so I FULLY KNOW have control of their accounts (Charles Leclerec, Esteban Ocon, Lando Norris [GOD DO I HAVE ALOT TO SAY ABT HIM], Pierre Gasly, etc) bc tell me why drivers are fully capable of uploading a post 2 years ago stating how the WHOLE of F1 stands with Ukraine (which i do applaud them for) but cant say SHIT abt the same situation occuring in Gaza, but SO much worse?? Lando can genuinely go f himself, bc as much as i used to adore him there’s no way he did NOT know abt the atrocities happening in Palestine, no way he did not know abt the company boycott when he decided to fully display that Starbucks logo on his little reel. And IF (literally a 0.0000001% chance, bc by then a 1000 articles were already written on it and the WHOLE world was aware) he genuinely didn’t know, then that is just ignorant as fuck. Icel. Anyway, literally all drivers should be held accountable, no matter if they’re ur favs or not; I like Carlos a lot but that doesn’t mean i dont get the ick every time i think abt the fact he’s stayed completely silent on the matter. OH MY GOD, DONT get me started on lance stroll and his confirmed (yes, i DO fact check) Zionist girlfriend, like?? Ew.
Can i also just say, that if any of u are gonna msg me saying ‘oH bUt NeP, thE FIA BanNeD AnY anD aLl PoliTiCaL StAtEmEnTS’ Shut up. If you guys could just READ the rest of the statement, you'd know that this rule only applies to when the drivers are ACTIVELY in the paddock. The FIA has literally included the fact that driver can do WHATEVER the want, stand up for WHOEVER they want in their personal lives – which brings me to my next point,
Numéro 3: The FIA bans any and all political statements in the paddock, (without their written consent) YET INVITES TRUMP (a man who has been charged with EIGHTY EIGHT criminal offenses) to the race, is the most disgusting and hypocritical thing ive seen in all my years of watching F1. And don't even get me started on all the shit lando said abt him, like bro?? What are you saying?? Why are you saying these things?? I get u cant speak bad abt him, but that does NOT mean u need to praise him to the sun and back. T-T
That's my rant! Additional reminder abt ppl bringing up how '*retired driver (insert name)* would NOT stand for this, and would post and talk ALL abt palestine if they were still racing,' this is a reminder that those drivers are still alive and well, with WORKING platforms and can STILL do all those things now if thry CHOOSE to :]

how did lucien become lance's idol? was lucien in the garrison? if so what position was he in?? (pilot, engineer etc.) I love their dynamic already fr
RAHHH YAYYAYAYA i love questions sorry i lovelovoeoeo answering !! chat this is ur sign to ask about anything sonder related btw, im a lore dumping FIEND
anyway lucien isnt apart of the garrison and rather is an idol! liek an actual idol not just lance's, think kpop idols?? the family he comes from is pretty famous and has a reality show focused on them thats pretty popular itself, its been running for literal centuries, which is where lance was introduced to him because his mother would often have it on (she was introduced to it via another mother during a conversation they had who had recently moved into the area from another country, lance was around 7 at the time)
he'd often sit with her and do whatever n half listen to the show, at the time he was still trying to figure out what niche he wanted to fulfill because all his siblings had something but he didnt, he and lucien are around the same age so he and lucien 'grew up' together and he watched lucien go into the idol industry and it jus clicked in his brain that he wanted to do something similar, plus lucien's personality capitivated him greatly (he had a major crush on him) (still does) (his mother ABSOLUTELY noticed), lance also just thinks lucien looks very cool and his design intentionally is supposed to mirror lucien alot because of that, esp with the piercings and hair dye n such
lance is a major fanboy over him which turns out to be very ironic for reasons I CANNOT spoil but its really fucking funny trust me, lucien is his inspiration for basically everything
he ends up meeting lucien during the return to earth arc and they hit it off, or rather lucien thinks hes super cool and lance just stands there very flustered and trying not to embarass himself

Elsie rant
so this is my Elsie rant, I really wanted to talk about multiple things to really get the rant in, so I will be talking about lancia heartstrings and birdhouse
First up lancia, so I saw stars rant about lancia already, about how icia sees him as a king and how she thinks lance sees her as his queen, I'm just going to say lance dosent quite see her as an equal and that's because of her previous status, because she's stronger then him physically and had a higher social status then him, he also saw icia as a step above him, he trusts her of course, but he trusts her with the things that he can't do, and the things he can't do are supposed to be things that he can do ect getting into the stereotypical gender roles, he also saw icia as someone better then him because we all know he used to know his past before the circus, and it was either bad enough where he wanted to get away or he wanted to run from problems he created, he saw her as someone better because she didn't have to run from problems she created, he did, and needles to say he felt terrible about it. After Raina was deleted with those memories was the point in time where he started seeing her as more of an equal, where he started to understand that everyone has things that they're good at and every relationship is a yin yang of what one can do for the other
Tldr: lance saw icia as someone above him aswell because of her abilities and his cowardness
Heartstrings: I have no clue what to write here, it's very clear that Jessy sees dusk as an equal that was said to her day 1 so that's not news, I feel like I've definitely fleshed out Jessy alot since I first introduced him and that shows alot aswell. His whole mindset is around "inertia" the concept of "everything will keep moving and you can't really stop it so you gotta keep moving with it" and that has kept him sane for a long time clearly, he does want to go home back to the real world of course but he has already accepted that that won't happen and it's not the end of the world
Birdhouse: THESE TWO ARE SO FUCKING CUTE, I have no idea how else to put it. Clara, a person of a really harsh abusive toxic past and chip with no past at all, I honestly have no idea the thought process behind this, but if I had to guess is would have been dusk seeing that clara was trying to help mix, her friend, and knew she needed help but couldn't help herself, I could be 100% wrong idk but that's what I think. I honestly didn't expect child out of this but I am so happy we got child out of this, chip is 100% the reason why clara embraced themselves, if chip never ran off into that train station that would have never happened I don't think. Also I really like throwing in the detail that they're colorblind, like completely colorblind no color whatsoever, I did use Google and this is a things that can happen but it causes sensitivity to light and I think partial blindness, but this is a digital world not the real one. (yes I did just pull the "cartoon logic" card) they have never seen color in their lives, and that would make for a very cute moment (and yes that random ask for Clara's favorite color was a random color, it's a color they hear alot associated with them so that's what they choose, it's also the color described for chip)

Akrasia has met its end, so heres a quick FAQ with a few questions you might have about it !! (Minor spoilers if you havent finished the ficc below the break!)
What does Akrasia mean, and why did you name the fic that?
Akrasia - The state of mind in which someone acts against their better judgment through weakness of will.
I came across the word while doomscrolling pinterest while I was writing Akrasia. Fun fact, the original name for Akrasia was actually Ice Shards, Mask Fragments. But Akrasia as a word stuck with me, and the more I thought about it, the more I realized that the word really suited Sampo in the fic, and his constant back and forth with himself over his feelings for Gepard. So yeah, I renamed the fic.
Was Akrasia ever going to have a happy ending?
Nope. From the very beginning, Akrasia was meant to have an ambigious/bitter ending. It felt fitting, to me at least, because of Sampos nature, and the whole angle I took with his character.
You can actually find various hints about the ending throughout the fic, mostly in Sampos dialog and thoughts. I tried (key word tried) to write him with a flighty sort of air around him, a kinda sense of doom from the start. Sampo knew what would have to happen the moment it started.
What happened after Akrasia?
Up to intepretation! Personally, I think Gepard didnt end up joining the Astral Express, instead asking them to just keep him up to date if they ran into Sampo, up until the time the epilogue happens. Reverse Serval situation, because he is honorbound and Gepard is a military man at heart. He knows where his duty lies. But like I said, its really up to you guys and what you wanna think happened.
WHERE IS LYNX ?!
So I started writing Akrasia the month of Star Rails release, (MAY 2023 TF?!), before we knew anything about Lynx. Because I didnt want to mischaracterize her, I ended up just not writing her explicitly
Will there be any more Akrasia fics?
Yes, actually! I made an Akrasia series on Ao3 for a reason. Im planning on doing a few DanCae shots to compliment the Starch7th ones already there, as well as a few side stories for the GePo/SamPard moments that were in passing in the main story. Things like missing scenes, more sexier times, and elaboration into characters I didnt really get to explore in the base story. But Akrasia itself is done and dusted. All fics pertaining to its small lil universe will be under different names.
How old is everyone in Akrasia?
I wrote and percieved Gepard and Sampo to be in their early 30s, maybe extremely late 20s. Seele and Bronya are mid 20s, Serval is mid 30s and Natasha is late 30s early 40s. As for the Trailblazers, well we know Dan Heng is probably far older then we think, Caelus and Stelle are.. weird, and March cant fucking remember. So I wrote them all witu the idea of mentally mid 20s.
Why are Stelle and Caelus in Akrasia?
cause I wanted them to be. Like, genuinely I just didnt want to choose and I wanted both Starch and DanCae so yeah. I just said their both here.
If you want the internal lore reason, the Stelleron was unstable enough that it ended up needing another vessel to contain all of its power. So Stelle and Caelus are just really weird twins, basically. They share a level of physical connection outside of looks as well, (ie, the matching scars from cocolia) but only to extreme , permanent damage. They also trade off who uses the lance and the baseball bat at their leisure.
Why are there some plot inconsistencies ?? (they bug me the author alot)
because its fanfiction /j thats not my excuse
Nah theres actually a reason for it. Akrasia originally was written to be aroind 10k words long, and clearly thats not what fucking happened.
So i ended up going back and editting alot of scenes, removing one scene entirely that actually was pretty important and i tried to make sure i caught every error but- well yeah i missed some.
If your curious about said scene, well- Remember the drunk Sampo scene? Yeah originally they had a drunk hook up and that was the main catalyst for the story. I ended up completely scrapping the scene and changing it around as it became more of a slowburn and the scene felt more and more out of place with the story i wanted to tell.
Hell in the original manuscript for the fic they never even got together, so theres that -
Will there be a sequel to Akrasia?
maybe? Im not planning to have one but the possibility is there, though im not sure what it would entale. For now, just indulge yourself in the side stories.
Do you allow fanwork ?
hell yeah mate, and this goes for anything I post on ao3. your more then welcome to draw or write stuff based on what Ive made, to take inspiration from the ideas Ive had. Writing, alt ending, art, hell playlists if you want(strangers by kenya grace is my assigned akrasia song btw). As long as you aint takin it and claimin it as yours.

ive already decided all the weapons for the bkids but i am unsure if i should go for 5thgen ONLY for the specifics or just . EVERY MH GAME  which would defintieyl expand my options a bit but theres like........ 500 MILLION Monstesr and therefore 500 M IL L IO N  AR MOR SE TS  and i wouldnt know whatto choose :(
but for the bkids weapons:
egbert: hammer. duh! don’t think i really need to explain this one, but shes the type to go utterly berserk once the monster’s been downed from a stun. has cleared the entire area of mizutsune, theyre all too afraid to fight her (hehe.. me) she lands a LOT of ko’s and is infinitely frustrated by the fact that you need to SHARPEN a HAMMER. WHO NEEDS TO SHARPEN A HAMMER??! ITS A HAMMER GOD DAMNIT
dave: longsword. again, duh! dont think i really need to explain this! anime loser boy, it feels appropriate. he’s the type to waste his gauge on helmbreaker in world and didnt learn till iceborne that theres more than one charge level on it. i haven’t played longsword much so i wouldn’t know a lot of the specifics but i think he would deliberately always go hit the head just to knock everyone else over cause hes a bitch like that :heart:
rose: this one is really tough, im stuck between dualblades, cb, and ig, but i think i have to go for db!
Tumblr media
come on. shes totes a db user.
funnily enough she reminds me a lot of the stealth dango dualblades in rise ! i would say she’d use those but i have a feeling she would think they’re too silly.
again i havent played much of dualblades but i think she would be one of the More Sane dualblade players, she doesn’t roll down the backs of monsters that often and makes sure she gets the ACTUAL  most damage out of an attack rather than doing whats cool (same thing with IG cause i know aerial attacks aren’t that powerful! atleast from what ive heard)
jade: lbg and hbg! but dabbles in other weapons (especially hunting horn) as well. she’s one of those insane motherfuckers that sets down an affinity booster and goes ham. decimates the monster in 10 seconds flat then carves like nothing happened. great to grind with, but when you’re really just trying to have fun i feel like she would end up going too fast
anddd for the alpha kids cause i just thought of them
jane: gunlance or greatsword! gunlance is known for poking and.. i guess that’s like forkkind? i LOOOVE gunlance and even though im not really good at it its very fun to play and it reminds me of jane :D AND GREATSWORD!!!!!!!!! it feels like almost every greatsword user (except me im not cool) is either SUPER DERANGED or SUPER CHILL or like... BOTH but not in themiddle. like a combination AND SHE TOTALLY FEELS LIKE IT.  she would fucking KILL with strongarm stance in sunbreak she is the one person in the hunt to land SO MANY KO’S AND PARTBREAKS that it honestly becomes concerning. takes a long time to charge up (she thinks focus is an un necessary skill) but its always worth the wait!
dirk: again with the anime longsword boy. except he’s like..really good atit unlike dave. hes pretty humble about it for the most part but GOD FUCKING FORBID he knocks anyone over (which he does) (alot) . he never says anything but anytime theyre all grinding for decor he is telepathically urging them all to get flinch free just so he wont screw up their attacks. his favorite monster is scorned magnamalo and i should kill him for that but i wont. im nice
jake: hmm hes a toughie! i’m stuck between lance and sns (bowguns go without saying duh) lance is totally a Page weapon but sns is a Jake weapon...... maybe he switches between the two who knows! he tends to over-judge a monsters attack and block too early or too late half of the time and is a corner healer (i think thats the term. the people that huddle off into the corner to heal from an attack while everyone else is in the middle of the battle) but he means well! he does a pretty decent amount of damage but most of his skills are health/defense oriented and he DEFINITELY has earplugs.
Roxy: SWAXE, INSECT GLAIVE OR LIGHT BOWGUN. she hasd so many fucking mods i think either her pc blew up 3 times or she got banned from multiplayer even tho im p sure mods r allowed in multi  . shes specil. she totally got introduced to the series via stories 2 and is the MOST into it out of everyone else on this list. she probably knows how to hunt in every single weapon but just so she isnt flexing she only plays swaxe and ig most of the time.......... she is SUUUPER fun to hunt with

cause ive always liked fire emblem, and cause the questions rested on my head before, the primarchs in fire emblem classes:
lion = paladin. its the most traditionally knightly class, and well the lions never really been depicted on horses or in relation to fast vehicles all that often, the paladin class is more so marked by balanced stats and a sharp increase to res so i feel confidant in giving him a mounted class like the paladin.
fulgrim = swordmaster. lightly armored very fast class, well its limited to just swords for the most part i feel that also suits fulgrims perfectionist nature since as a class its largely about perfecting that one weapon often getting special perks for doing so. plus in terms of outfits swordmasters are one of the more fashionable or exotic classes which also suits fulgrims tendency to extravagant dress.
perturabo = great knight. at first i thought general since its a very representative defensive class, heavy armour, used by enemy armies alot, best used in defensive roles, all that stuff. but on reflection great knight kinda works a bit better, since the iron warriors also notably use a lot of vehicles. this gives perturabo both high defensive properties but decent mobility like his copious tanks without being as high as say a paladin or bow knights mov to represent perts preference for terminator armour.
jaghatai = nomad trooper/bow knight. i specify nomad trooper because it better gells with the whole Mongol thing the khans got going on, but bow knight is also the more common variation of this class. regardless, its a more speed aligned mounted class capable of using swords and bows, that has the khans name all over it.
lemen = warrior. the russ is typically portrayed with axes, has a viking theme, and well hes 'uga uga barbarian' he also strives to try and be better then that. its another easy fit really, even if bows arent particularly fitting for russ but then that also does help to emphasize the sortta duality of the russ as a savage reveling in it whos also embarrassed by it to some extent.
rogal = hero. its not a defensive class like the general but it is the more defensive counterpart to the swordmaster usually, and rogals usually not shown to be wearing terminator armour. aside from that its something of a flexible class used by shady mercs and noble knights in equal measure, so it can work with both an air of practicality and luxury well.
konrad = trickster. assassin seems like the better choice since it jives more with konrad visually speaking, konrad also has psychic powers that let him see the future. thus trickster works a bit better i feel to represent that, placing him in a thief promotion well also giving him access to magic. i thought of dread fighter as well, but konrads not known for sending out warp bolts so the tricksters support magic works better for konrads future sight.
sanguinius = falcon knight. a female dominated class, ignoring that stipulation fire emblem pegasi have the unicorn thing where their atleast rumored to only accept the pure hearted as riders, and well i wouldn't call any primarch pure hearted neither are many of the pegasus knights in fire emblem so it works thematically without being a hard requirement. also, wings and a flying class thats focused on speed and has also at times had access to support magic. another obvious fit for all intents and purposes.
ferrus = blacksmith. thank god for fates giving me this out, well ferrus does wear terminator armour he also notably relies on his arms metal coating to protect that so i feel more confidant in giving him blacksmith which is a defensive class but not a heavy armour class if that makes sense. also, overlap of professions which putting aside the terminator armour stuff does make this the otherwise obvious choice for ferrus.
angron = berserker. the class is pretty much all attack and speed no defense, relying on high health to tank hits. well its usually locked to axes, angron usually uses axes to thats fine, and well its also a class mostly associated with bandits and barbarian and tribal looks its also a class that gets a lot of association with gladiators and arenas so it works in that sense as well.
roboute = hero, great lord. not totally happy with this one so im giving myself multiple outs on it. hero i feel works in a visual sense but its doubling up on rogals, well great lord works better in terms of who roboute is but its pushing roboute into the definitive protagonist class of fire emblem. settled on great lord eventually both because its the protagonist class, and because well its a class capable of defending itself their both usually not the best fighter and also need to be handled carefully or else cause a game over due to dying,
mortarion = oni savage. a defensive class specialized in using axes but which does have access to magic use. it fits in that mortarion prides himself on endurance and physical strength well shunning magic, despite having had training and education in magic himself and arguably because of who taught him. plus visually the class is designed to look intimidating and wears a mask, both vague enough applications to mortarion.
magnus = sorcerer. also called druid, dark sage, or dark bishop. i thought of maybe basara since its a class with access to physical weapons, but i decided sorcerer for two main reasons. first, magnus relies heavily on his magic over his physical fighting skills by primarch standards. second, darks magic which sorcerers specialize in have the narratively appropriate connotations in fire emblem for magnuses character. as dark magic in fe is both a dangerous dark force used by evil wizards to summon dark gods or cast curses, and a neutral force of nature that can be researched and understood like a science, used like a science to consume enemies in black holes even. it is the perfect magic to give the "its not a phase dad, its a science! -consumed by dark forces-" character in essence.
horus = general. perfect class for horus less because of its defensive properties or role as a defensive class, but more so because of what it arguably symbolizes and how horus is the primarch next to perturabo who wears the most terminator of terminator armour. namely that general is the class most frequently used by enemy bosses and commanders in fire emblem, often by one of the head honchos or a minion of said honcho. in that sense, its the perfect class to have the warmaster and arch traitor of the imperium in.
lorgar = war monk. religiously affiliated class that wields an axe, and already a perfect fit for that alone. the war monk class also has access to support magic with jives with lorgar unlocking psychic power through his studies of daemonology and the chaos gods, and also his own psychic visions. my only concern is that to access war monk regularly you have to be in the priest class beforehand [unless your a prepromote] which jives with lorgars history but is also a class locked to support magic, but for a primarch im willing to let it slide.
vulkan = wyvern lord. vulkans another character in terminator armour, but i feel wyvern lord works better. not because vulkans known for flying mind you, but more so because wyvern lords a defensive flying class, involves a a dragon, and because wyverns in fe are difficult to tame mounts but ones that are fiercely loyal and protective of their riders if said rider treats them well. which fits into vulkans friendly, by primarch standards, attitude.
corvus = assassin. well corvus also uses psychic powers to turn invisible, i felt giving trickster to konrad worked better because konrad was more active and constant in his use of psychic powers well corvus tried to avoid using his power as much as possible from what i remember. as such that left corvus with the more physically aligned thief promotion which i enjoy as a sort of 'delightful irony' since the assassin aesthetic better suits konrad.
alpharius/omegon = halberdier. feeling blessed that alpharius omegon have largely been presented as using lances cause it makes this a lot easier. well the ao twins are masters of a sneaky legion themselves, importantly the alpha legion favours infiltration and disguise over sneaking about. and what better disguise then as the promotion of the most generic of classes the soldier class. its a lance locked class, but i feel thats a good enough trade off for the inconspicuous murder angle. and the soldier class is if nothing inconspicuous/cannon fodder.
and bonus malcador and emperor!
malcador = sage. even putting aside that malcadors claim to fame is being a psyker, sage works in relation to the fire emblem trope of wise and crinkly old sages [the gotoh archtype as its referred to] which malcador fits on like a glove.
emperor = emperor, baron, master knight. the emperor class is indeed a thing, and im specifically thinking of the fe4 emperor class which could utilize every weapon and magic outside of light magic and dark magic. aside from that the emperor class was also a heavy armour class which... i dont remember if the emperors wearing terminator armour but it does gel with the emperor being fukin big. the barons an alternative thats basically the same as the emperor class if a bit weaker, and master knights the mounted variation that has access to light magic.

Siblings Reunited
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Things to know before reading this! 1. Luz is the same age as hunter (16) so her and Lance year apart 2. Luz and Lance are Altean 3. Luz went to the garrison but was asleep during shiro rescue therfore was not there for voltron 4. Luz and Lance eyes are the same blue as Allura 5. Allura is Lance and Luz older sister 6. Lance & Luz were adopted and has younger siblings 7. Hunter hangs out regularly at the owl house and gives them information on Belos 8. The demon realm is a planet 9. I used Google translate for Spanish 10. I didn't go to the wiki to see all of lances family's names or how big it is so all names mention is made up, also sorry if there oc haven't binged watched the shows for awhile
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Voltron had just landed in a clearing near the owl house to get more supplies when Lance and Hunk heared a voice they recognized. Hunk turned to look at Lance who had teary eyes, started to run towards her voice leaving other members of Voltron confused and started to run after Lance, everyone but Hunk yelled "Lance wait!"
------------Owl house------------
Luz was teaching hunter Glyphs when she heard people yelling everyone hanging out at the owl house turned toward the sound When suddenly someone she recognized the person that was the reason for being a witch to find them. Twin bright blue eyes froze when met it was like time had stopped Eda confused with a quirked eyebrows her hand on her hip and a finger pointed towards Lance and the member of voltron "So uh you recognize those guys Luz they look human ears are round and everything"
After Eda broke the silence both Lance and Luz ran towards each other crying
"Hermano mayor!" "Hermanita" Lance picked up Luz in a hug twirling her around after a few moments he set her down "Hermanita What are you doing on this planet? Luz wiping her tears away glared at Lance weakly punching his chest "Learning Magic to find you ya big Jerk! Where were you! You know how devastated I was!"
"I know I know.. and I'm sorry Estrella fugaz" he paused for a moment before his eyes harden
"wait how did you get here?" Lance questions
Luz laughs nervously "wellll...I may or may not have gone through a magic door to get my book and..umm ... I decided to learn magic to help me find you.. I also may or may not have destroyed my only way home to save Eda...." King looks around and speaks up "So your Luz Brother?" Luz looking over and blushed embarrassed realizing it wasn't just her brother and Eda infront of the owl house looking at the many confused and curious faces "yeah king his my older brother and big guy in yellow is Hunk and I believe the guy in red is Keith?" Luz pauses thinks for moment. Wanting to take a little sibling revenge on Lance for making her worry and leaving without her that night takes the moment to embarrass her big bro "yeah I'm pretty sure that's Keith Lance wouldn't shut up about how pretty his eyes were or about his stupid mullet!" Both Keith and Lance's face turn to a brilliant shade of red, redder then Eda dress or Keith's lion. "What the hongos taki was that for! LUZ!" Lance screamed embarrassed Luz smiling a bright devilish smile "well that was for worrying me so much" Pidge looked over at Keith who was a frozen in place blushing red still shared look with Hunk a sole promise to tell Luz about the 'Bonding moment' that Lance swears up and down didn't happen and make her a member of the Klance shippers club they already had alot of memebers through out the galaxy not to mention everyone in Voltron Shipped it.
Meanwhile Eda shared a look at the owl house gang that says they just gained memebers of Lunter shippers club.
▪︎▪︎▪︎●●●▪︎▪︎le time skip▪︎▪︎●●●▪︎▪︎▪︎
Everyone at a campfire and trading stories about there the siblings childhood or what happen while they were gone and finished teasing each other Lance gained a serious look "Luz I have something to tell you.. you might get upser but you deserve to know" the owlhouse memebers gained a look of concern and Luz a look or worry with hunter rubbing encouraging circles on her back "soo what is it?" Lance nervous looks down breaths in looks up and rips the metaphorical bandaid off "were not human we were born Altean we're Princess Alluras little siblings our escape pods were lost in space for some time before it crash landed near mom an dad's old house due to natural instinct were shifted to a more human form" Lance who had shifted to his Altean form now sported Snow white Hair and Blue Altean Marks and eyes were a shade brighter and ears shifted to look like a witches ears but somewhat longer watching and freckles to take on a little glimmer to them. Lance Shifting caused her Natural ability to shift to trigger as well by the end of Lance sentence now looked similar to her brother hers ears now look exactly like her brothers Eyes gained the same shade as her brother's just turned to freckles glimmered a bit brighter then her brothers and Altean Marks were Pink not blue and Hair turned the same snow white as her brothers but hers grew down a little and Hair turned a more fluffy
Tumblr media
All things considered was taking it quite well although not realizing she shifted and everyone looking at her amazed at just how much she looked like her brother Hunter who was still next to her was blushing bright red and couldn't help but think she look so much more beautiful in her Natural form not that he didn't think she wasn't beautiful before she just seem to look more comfortable and shine.
Luz who was looking down looked back up " I knew we were adopted but.. I didn't think we were... alien" Lance who was smiling fondly at his sisters Shifting into her Natural form without her noticing he noticed she already looked more comfortable his Mama would always comment how they never completely relaxed she would always try to get them to relax too spa days, movie nights the works it wasn't just they're Mama either it was the whole family that would try smiling at the thought if Mama and His Siblings were to see how they look now the twins Hugo and Hannah would probably grab onto there ears there older sister Cana would ruffle there hair jealous and amazed at how fluffy and soft it is his second oldest sister Marie would absolutely be inlove with how shiny there freckles are marveled at how they look like constellation in the sky like the astrologist she is there older brother Coco or Cole Much like Cana ruffle our hair and demand that we grow it out like his was Bonnie wouldn't care at all just demand they teach her stuff about space and the possible sea creatures they saw she was always giddy to learn new things from her older brothers and sisters Connie the youngest of all his siblings was just a baby probably out of the baby babble stage Hinata should be in his first year of High school he would just cling to us demand that we play a few rounds of volleyball with him on the beach I wonder if he made his high-school tean? I also wonder if the other set of twins in the family Derek and Danna got Captin and Co captain in there schools swim team or if there cousin they were closest too Marinette finally got her name in the fashion industry "your thinking about them aren't you?" Luz spoke with sense of knowing and understanding "yeah I was thinking on how they would react to our charming~ good looks!" Everyone smiles at that sentence "we should get to bed soon though I know how cranky you get Luz" Luz deadpan and looks at him "your the same exact way how many times did Coco get bruised by a pillow from you throwing it?" Lance's eye twitched "well I'm not the one that gave Marie the black eye with the soft dog toy" Hunter speakes up "How do you do that!?" Lance and Luz both look over at Hunter and talks in unison "each don't really know we always been a bit stronger then normal maybe it was from helping Auntie Sabine and Uncle Tom around the Bakery?"
With that the Siblings that could pass for twins went back to arguing ... few days later Both Hunter and Keith got Shovel talks by their crushes younger/older sibling
Luz had met Allura and loved just as much as she does the rest of her family while also demanding to know Altean Anatomy she doesn't want some kind of nasty surprise

Carlisle was looking forward to the holidays with Esme.
They spent the past Christmases celebrating at home in consideration for Renesmee and Bella, he wanted to make sure everything went ok.
Esme didnt feel comfortable leaving them all alone too wanting to be the best grandmother for Bella daughter.
It made Carlisle happy how everyone got closer together after she was born, Bella had really made a Miracle.
He did his best to help too, Nahuel and Benjamin often visited along with our friends to help train Renesmee. It was amazing.
She's full grown now so we finally feel comfortable to go have our Holiday this time.
Bella told us many times we could spend alone together, but it just didnt feel right for us to miss out anything.
But now that Bella has been trained full along with Renesmee, we arent needing to worry for them.
Carlisle was working his last shift at the hospital, he already told Esme in the morning what time he would get off so we can leave for the Boat ride to our Island.
He was thankful to work at a hospital understanding for certain times he had to take off at random times.It helped that there was one person specifically at the hospital, who would takr his shifts for him. He didnt have to convince them, he just had to pay in Coffee. Sometimes he didnt need to pay but he would still get a coffee for him.
Carlisle finished his last shift running into him.
"I'll cover for you, thanks again for free coffee when you get back.Happy Holidays." he said happy.
"Thanks again Lance." He said as he waved him off, getting out of there while he could.
Carlisle wouldnt probably be lucky at all if it werent for Lance. He would have to get him the best coffee.
He left the hospital, heading home in his car.
It was a nice drive home, one of the reasons he loves the house they have together its because of the scenery you get to see on the way.
He remembered when Esme got excited about the house, she was thrilled to be around nature. It was perfect for them.
Anything he could do to make Esme happy made him happy.
They saved alot of money over the years together so they could live comfortably wherever they chose.
He didnt want to be at risk for exposing they are vampires by being in town all the time so a seculded from the city house was perfect.
He bought the island for them too to have breaks from their family that got bigger. But this past few years, they havent been able to visit due to their newest family member Renesmee.
Bella still needed help learning too in the beginning but shes grown into amazing vampire.
Her daughter has full trained now too with the help from us, the other vampire Nahuel and Benjamin helped too in training Renesmees powers.
Both of them have turned into amazing vampires now. Renesmee full grown, him and Esme dont feel we wont neee to help if something goes wrong now.
Bella often told him and Esme that they can spend time togehrr some holidays. But it didnt feel right to leave them, not that he didnt trust the others in helping Bella and Renesmee but Esme didnt want to miss out on anything. Neither did he.
He was thankful for Bella bringing a miracle that brought us all together so it didnt bother us at all.
He assured that to Bella and Edward many times.
Carlisle pulled up to the driveway.
The nice thing about being a vampire, you dont need cellphones to tell when the other is near.
He heard Esmes footsteps coming near the door, it opens with her appearing in a silk long dress that she said she got for this occasion.
She was really looking forward to it, it made him happy he could still make her happy even after all the years together. He got out of the car to walk her down the steps, "How was your day beautiful" he said as he kissed her cheek.
She smiled happily as their hands intertwined, her warmth against him. The other nice thing about being both vampires was you had same tempature..no need to worry about freezing the other.
"It was great but its better now that your here" Carlisle felt his heart raced at that moment, if it could that is it would right now.
Even after all these years, she made him feel in love everyday.
"I thought you would have to work a double for sure. Emmett was betting on it can you belive him." She said leaning her head on his shoulder as he smiled, "I got out thanks to Lance. Do you remmeber him?"
"Oh yeah Lance! hes nice I remember him from when we went to go buy some things in town like a normal couple." She said giggling at the memory.
"Yeah I promised him a week of Large Coffees of any flavor he wants. Hes always drinking coffee, sometimes I worry his coffee is probably made out of blood."
Esme smiled."I picture you would be the same if you were human."
Carlisle nodded,"Yeah your right Coffee seems intruging.I might smoke here and there too."
Esme nods, "But not all the time I can see that." She laughed, her laugh was so beautiful to him too.
He loved her laugh as he smiled opening up the door for her.
They got in the car.
She loved the drive on the way too to the island. It might have been a blessing that we didnt get to go out here for awhile because we almost talked about getting another Villa, but Esme didnt bring it up again.This is probably why.
She held his hand as they drove down in a peaceful silence.
Both of them loving the quite drive, they reached the boat then got out to get on the boat.
Tumblr media
He got on first lifting her up, surprising her as she held onto him tightly getting into the boat with him.
"Carlisle how do you stay surprising me even after all this time." She said happy while sitting down with him on the boat.
The person who was riding the boat for them starting rowing the boat. "It will be kind of windy tonight so hold onto boat."
The man said, as they both nodded.
Esme rested her head onto Carlisles shoulder.
It was nice to spend together like this, reuiniting on the path of memory lane to their island.
It hadnt been visited to since Bella and Edwards trip, they didnt need to visit too when they got their own house.
But it was good they hadnt visited in awhile because it made it better the nostalgic.
they reached the villa in a couple of hours.
He poked at her to make it look like she was sleep ontop of him while he was reading his book to not look suspect the our boat man.
Esme "wokeup" cutely as he may add.
"we are here love?" Esme asked the ends of her lips curled into a smile.
"Yes" he said as he stand and tipped their boat man. "Thank you..." he said shocked to receive 100$ tip honored by his service.
"Have good holidays." He said waving them off as Carlisle picked up Esme twilring her around until she fell her feet on the ground.
"your just being extra romantice today arent you Dr.Carlisle" She said teasing him, causing him to laugh. "Oh you love it, you hopeless romantic."
Tumblr media
Esme felt ecstatic as she tagged him playfully starting to run to their villa.
"Last one there has to kiss under the mistletoe first."
"How did ..." He said then cursed himself for telling Alice one of the surprises.
He ran after Esme, easily catching up to her. He laughed when he reached the door handle first.
"I almost had you.." she said laughing.
Carlisle smirked as he opened the door to hear the bells as it opened with the mistletoe dangling under the door.
the lights around the front of their villa.
"Did Alice tell you all the plans.." he asked
"No just the mistletoe" She said smiling, as she wrapped her arms around his kneck pressed against him halfway in between the door under the mistletoe.
His hands wrapped around her waist, as she kissed him deeply.
"Merry Christmas" She said as he happily twirled her into a dance after the kiss into the house, kicking the door with his foot as they rushed to spend the rest of their holidays together.

What The Fuck!?
(A.N: before we start with the story I just wanna say that this is based off of this post by @lance-alt​ . Also, alot of creators on here got mentioned in the story, like actual mentions so if you got mentioned just know that I love what you create and wanted to include you because I love your interpretations of the sides, and you do not have to read this at all if you don’t want to and if you want me to take you out of the story please DM me and tell me so that I can)
TRIGGER WARNINGS: SLIGHT MENTION OF VORE FOR LIKE TWO SECONDS, MENTION OF USYEMPETHETIC SIDES, SHITTING N SOME HEADCANONS EVEN THOUGH I MYSELF LOVE THEM
The Sides are lost. They find themselves in a familiar and yet unknown place.
They will soon find someone dark. And someone far too shiny and bright… Too innocent.
The Sides meet…
their fanon-selves.
 ...
 It had started like any normal day. The sides existing as a part of Thomas, helping him with his daily dilemmas, the usual things. Until Thomas took a nap. Then the sides suddenly found themselves in a white void. It wasn’t a dream, they could confirm that much from the other dreams that Thomas had. Also from the confused looks on the twin’s faces who were in charge of dreams, like how Remus had caused Thomas’ nightmare that they had disgusted in Dealing With Intrusive Thoughts.
“Where are we?” Logan spoke up, voicing everyone’s concerns.
“Wherever it is, Thomas has never thought about it before.” Roman muttered as he glanced around.
“Yeah, I know his brains can be scooped out at times, but not even he can have a mind this empty.” At Remus’ comment, most of the others cringed in varying degrees, with Logan being the only one unaffected, only rolling his eyes in annoyance.
“Although your metaphor usage could use some work, you are correct. This place is too empty to be a part of Thomas.” Logan conceded.
“If this isn’t Thomas...then where are we?” Virgil gleaned around wearily, trying to come up with his own explanation for this situation.
“It’s really blank here...maybe Thomas is in a coma?” Roman tried, to which Virgil’s eyes widened.
“Impossible, how would we be active if he is not?” Logan debated.
“I don’t know! Do you have any ideas, Sherlock Drones?” Roman rebutted, causing Logan to roll his eyes and fix his glasses.
“Unfortunately, no. There is not enough evidence...anywhere to make a proper inference on the situation.” Logan finished adjusting his glasses by the time he finished, gaining an annoyed huff from Roman.
“Heya, kiddos? Maybe we shouldn’t argue. We’re all confused right now, and getting upset isn’t going to get us anywhere.” Patton butted in to make sure things didn’t escalate.
“Thank you, Patton.” Logan gave a curt nod of agreement.
“Fiiiine!” Roman whined after a bit.
“It would be wise to explore, to see if we can find any clues as to where we are.”
“I’ll do it!” Remus jumped in. “Who knows, maybe we all died a gruesome death!” He cackled.
“No need.” Janus approached the group from behind, having already explored himself. “Look behind us.” When turning the sides were surprised to find the area behind them was not all whit. On it there were words like what one would find in a google doc currently describing their situation as they lived through it. 
“What the fuck?” Virgil muttered. He had a Tumb.lr so he knew what fanfiction was, and this looked like it. “This can’t be happening…” He groaned, knowing it was happening.
“Aw, they’re writing about us Virge! Like the people on that one app you use.” Patton cooed, only knowing of the fluff part of fanon.
“Pat, you don’t understand. This isn’t good.”
“Oh nonsense kiddo.” Patton dismissed. “Have you guys seen the art they draw of us? It’s so cute!” Virgil internally cringed knowing that not all of it was like that.
“Either way,”-Janus cut off their small conversation.-“We need to find a way out of here.” Janus focused slightly more on Virgil for his next comment. “Whether this is real or not.” Virgil shivered at the thought of them not being real, or even acting like they do in the things that people create. 
Everyone agreed, and soon they were on their way to explore this strange new environment.
 …
 Soon enough, however, the sides are lost. Which brings us back to where this story began. As they searched for their original location, or even the mysterious floating words, they come upon a familiar and yet unknown place. It looks strikingly like a Disney movie kingdom. With one half, filled with bright colors, lush fields, enchanting forests, and a large white castle with a red roof. The other half being dark and dangerous, the colors fading, plants rotting, instead of animals there only creatures of unknown origin, and in the middle, a black, crumbling, castle, with striking green roofing. It was almost as if...it were made for the twins.
In fact, as they got closer they could hear two far off shouts, with simultaneous silhouettes, motioning towards them, as if pointing them out to someone...or something, else.
“Uh...guys?” Virgil trailed off wondering if the others had noticed.
“On it.” Romas was quick to pull out his sword, Remus quickly following suit with his morning star.
It was unnecessary however, as once the silhouettes were in view, they looked exactly like the twins. 
“Wha…” Roman lowered his sword as he saw this. As they got closer more figures came into view. All of which looked like the sides to varying degrees. There were thousands. Some were small, some were even giants, and there were alot that weren’t even human.
“Oh! Hi there kiddos!” A Patton(?) came running past the twin’s doppelgangers. “You’re probably really confused right now, I know alot of us were when we appeared!” The sides just looked at the Patton look-alike  dumbfounded. The first to break out of it was Logan.
“I do not wish to appear rude, but, who are you and where are we?” Logan queried.
“Oh, I’m Patton by @baka-monarch !” Patton chirped. “And you’re in The Imagination!”
“The what now-?” “How did you-?” Both Roman and Virgil asked at the same time.
“Hm?” The other Patton tilted his head confused.
“One at a time now kiddos…” Their Patton silently reminded them. Roman nodded to Virgil to let him go first.
Virgil inhaled, taking his cue. “How did you say a mention? That only works when typed in social medias.” Virgil wondered confused.
“Oh! That’s just my fander creator kiddo!” This Patton didn’t miss a beat as he answered happily. Virgil stared at him blankly as he came to a horrifying conclusion.
“We’re in a f*****g fanfiction.” He jumped slightly at his bleep out. “What was that?”
“Oh, Jan Jan did that I wouldn’t have to hear any vulgar language.” All of them looked back at Janus who looked forward, uninterested, definitely trying not to hide his embarrassment at what this other him did, definitely not. 
“...Okay… My turn!” Roman exclaimed. “What is “the Imagination”?” He used air quotes.
“Yeah, I was wondering that too, Mr. The 6th Day clone.” Remus added.
“Oh! Don’t you know? It’s the place you and Roman can go to to summon anything.You can even change the entire world around you!” Patclone chirped.
“What.” They all said in unison with worry, apart from the twins who were excited.
“Yeah! Isn’t it cool!” Patclone said oblivious to the consequences of the twins having this power could cause. “Oh yeah, do you want me to introduce you to everyone?”
“Please, I am intrigued about how our counterparts might act.” Logan conceded.
“Okie dokie then! Follow me!”
 …
 It had been a few hours at this point and they still weren’t even an eighth of the way through yet. There were so many headcanons, variations, AUs, OCs, OOCs, designs, everything. It was almost too much to handle.
“-this is @tscampfireau ‘s sides from their au-” The Virgil hissed and bit towards them as they almost walked on their pentagram that they were making out of… was that blood? The Patton and Logan were helping them by t-posing as a barrier against the other sides. “-yeah they can be a...fun bunch to hang out with. Oh, and here’s @bleepblopbloop56 ‘s sides.”
“How, and why are they hotter than us..?” Roman mumbled to Virgil, only getting a weird look in response.
“Then there’s @mango-shpango ‘s and @rondoel ‘s ones, he’s got a lot-” Patclone shrugged it off, but King caught all of their eyes. He didn’t have to look like the one they knew for them to know who it was… “Oh, hey there @that-prey-lounge and @tiny-peter-rabbit ‘s sides!” He greeted them. As they turned a corner there was a group of sides that were made of metal like robots. “Oh, there’s @burnadolt ‘s fnaf au!” He waved. As they approached a tavern the last group greeted was, “Heya @nommy-thoughts ‘ sides, how are you adjusting?” there were several positive responses from many of them, and as the sides looked closer they could see that a few were smaller than a human hand not only that but nearby (possibly made by someone else), were the sides they’d seen from afar earlier that were giants.. They hadn't noticed them yet here because of how closely compact the buildings were and how their size made what was visible from their perspective look like buildings.
As they all entered the tavern, they saw that there was only one group of sides here. “Hiya guys! New sides I’d like you to meet @baka-monarch ‘s group.” There were several different hellos. “And my friends, I’d like you to meet… to meet..? I’m sorry but who’s your creator?” Virgil was the one to answer.
“@thatstha-MMPH!” Virgil was only part of the way through before the other’s Janus made him slap his hand over his mouth as the other sides in the room went pale. “What was that for?” Virgil asked, his voice muffled by his hand.
“You can’t say his name. Not here.” Patclone explained cryptid. They all fell into an awkward silence, until Roman changed the subject.
“Why are there...two of you?” Roman observed.
“Oh!” Patclone chirped. “I was created just for this au! Just so I could be your guide!” He paused for a moment thinking before continuing. “I guess I’m like the Monika of this world.” Again, everyone paled, some not understanding, others...understanding too well. “Welp, I guess you want to go explore now! Jan Jan, do you and Patty wanna go have fun while they look around?” Both mentioned sides blushed.
“I told you not to call me that…” Janus mumbled as he took Patclone’s hand and the other Patton stood up to quickly join them as they went off to a separate room.
 …
 Only an hour had passed and the sides had already split off into groups with their counterparts. The Roman’s comforting each other while being completely random, some of them being sad little puffballs that the strong egotistic Roman’s had decided to protect, while others were a mix or just completely unsympathetic and degrading anyone the came in contact with, especially the Virgils. Virgil had kind of separated himself from the other Virgils since 90% of them were cowering away from everything and just having constant anxiety attacks, while the few who were different either had power that they abused, or were fawning over the other sides. The Logans had formed an army of science lead by the Logan from @askdarksidelogan and the other dark sides from his au, this Logan was very robotic looking, cruel, and unfeeling...well, almost unfeeling as the Deceit from his au was his boyfriend and the Remus was really close friends with him. Janus was busy trying to coral in all his different counterparts as some of them made plans to kill everyone around them and end the government, while others were hiding due to PTSD about the angst they have been through. The Remuses just vibed in their corner, killing, being gross, and annoying the other aspects. Finally the Pattons. Patton had basically adopted the ones that were child-like and too innocent for their own good while avoiding the unsympathetics that were teaming up with other unsympathetics and the ones who were...horny… Actually everyone was avoiding the horny ones.
But that was just the simplified version of the chaos. Logans were capturing people to test, Deceits were arguing over their name even though one was already canon, Romans were either being complete idiots or crying silently to themselves, while they were targeted by the unsympathetics along with the Virgils, everyone too scared to even try to tussle with the army of Logans.
Virgil sat back on a hill and watched it all unfold. How had the community gotten this far without this much chaos? He had no idea. A few other counterparts were up there with him but he didn’t mind since they mostly seemed chill. A Virgil approached and sat down next to him exhausted, and judging by the paint he was covered in he had just come from the Romans’ corner.
“Romans a little too much?” Virgil tried making conversation.
“Yeah…” He breathed. “It was getting a little too rowdy and I wanted to get my Roman out of there so he wouldn’t get hurt.” With no Roman in sight, Virgil assumed that he had been unsuccessful.
“So, which Roman is yours?” Virgil wondered.
“Hm?” The counterpart tilted his head confused until it clicked. “Oh, no, he’s not down there right now.” He reached into his pocket and pulled out a tiny Roman. “See.”
“Oh…” Virgil was at a loss of words. What does a person say to that? After that they just sat there in silence as Virgil’s counterpart and the Roman snuggled slightly through a hand to body contact. 
“So…” Virgil decided to try again. “What’s it like, y’know, being shipped?” Virgil wondered, seeing how it seemed these two were in some kind of relationship. Virgil had always found it kind of weird, but, maybe there was more to it…
“I mean, it’s like any other relationship I guess… falling in love and deciding to be together.” The counterpart mumbled as the tiny Roman rubbed his hand to comfort him.
“But isn’t it weird how it isn’t real? How, you’re literally just playing out your creator’s fantasies because they enjoy the idea of you being together?” Virgil wondered.
The counterpart just shrugged. “I try not to think about it… but, it really isn’t that weird, even if we’re fictional characters we have memories, motives, morals, opinions, feelings. Those are real. Even if they aren’t created by us, they are real. Every thought, every motion, every breath. That is us. Just because it was written, drawn, or even just imagined, it happened and that makes it real. Makes this feeling real.” He explained as he rubbed the little head of his Roman.
“Huh I… I guess you’re right, I never thought of it that way.” Virgil shrugged.
“No one does. Why do you think people are told not to cry over fictional deaths when they actually had feelings for a character, platonic or not?” The counterpart said. “It’s just a story on the outside, something thought to not affect people even though when our memories are shared with them, it can change them.” Virgil looked at his counterpart, curiosity growing about how he had so much knowledge.
“Who’s your creator?” Virgil finally asked.
“Why do I have to have one?”
“Touche.” 
They went back to a comfortable silence. It was nice. Until this one Janus came.
“Hey, Virgil, does Roman mind if I had him for a bit?” They asked.
“I don’t mind at all!” The tiny side exclaimed as he got on Janus’ hand. They soon left, but when that Janus vired the Roman they weren’t far enough away from Virgil for him not to catch a glimpse. He shivered. 
“Is that normal?” He wondered.
“Depends on the part of the community, but pretty normal and usually safe, so don’t worry.” The counterpart comforted him. It barely helped but at last Virgil knew that that Roman was safe… probably.
“Can I try!” Remus came brelling up the his, straight (heh) to the counterpart.
“Only if you want to.” They replied.
“I do!” Remus wriggled with excitement.
“Alright, let's go find you one of the groups of sides either with the power to shrink you or are giants.” Virgil led Remus off the hill as Remus kept talking about everything that could go wrong but probably wouldn’t.
Weird. Was all Virgil could think as he watched them leave.
 …
 He saw a lot that day but never saw that Virgil again, as if he had vanished mysteriously. It didn’t matter to him right now though as he had been stuck with babysitting duty over all the little kid sides.
“F*** this.”
 …
 Virgil looked over the story he just read one more time. It was written by a small creator called @baka-monarch , who focussed more on reblogging than they did their own content.
“That was trash.”
“Reblog.”

the flowers on your skin by vaporeon_ninja
Katsuki is seven when he learns about soulmates; he is also seven when he decides that he’ll never have one.
He soon realizes that he doesn't get to choose.
roses are red and they taste like shit by unbreakable_red_riot
Katsuki was really fucking sick of the smell of flowers.
boys are stupid by deviance
“Sorry, bro, I'm not going to make it to our study session tonight."
“Why?”
“Ah,” Kirishima grinned almost shyly, “I've got a date.”
Bakugou froze, chest feeling like he'd just been pierced with a lance.
“A...date,” Bakugou repeated, admittedly dumbstruck.
Kirishima smiled. “Yeah, so I'll see you later,” Kirishima said, waving before leaving the room.
So this is what heartbreak felt like. He hated it.
heartworm by clairesail
"And Bakugou realizes with jarring discomfort, what this means for him. He's going to be seeing Kirishima a whole lot more. He could walk into his favorite cafe, his favorite curry shop, and see a head of bright red hair. He could be out on patrol and have to compete for dibs on capturing a villain. He could be fighting and have to cooperate with him. And most disconcerting of all he'd have to acknowledge his feelings.
Bakugou never really got over him."
------
Kirishima re-enters Bakugou's life, and he realizes the feelings he had for him in high school are still there.
worth a thousand words by awareoftheconcept
When a rare picture of Bakugou smiling leads Class 3A to believe he is in a relationship with Utsushimi Camie, a contest arises to see who can get the most pictures of the couple together. *** “Umm,” Midoriya said nervously. “I-it’s Kacchan. There is always a spark.”
With another round of boos from Kaminari and Jirou, Ashido took a page out of Mineta’s playbook and started shaking Midoriya violently. “I mean like a romantic spark!”
Midoriya blanched. “You think Kacchan is interested in Utsushimi?”
He seemed doubtful, so Ashido shoved Kirishima’s phone in his face. “Do you see this smile? That is the smile of boy who is head-over-heels smitten, am I right?”
Midoriya actually took the time to look at the picture critically, though he shot an uneasy look towards Kirishima before he answered. “Umm, y-yeah,” he said as he started to back away, hiding behind Uraraka like a shield. “It definitely looks like Kacchan is in love.”
How could Kirishima have been so stupid?
hide your bruises by deviance 
Kirishima frowned, looking at his leg. “What happened?” He asked quietly.
“Twisted my knee,” Bakugou muttered.
Kirishima peeked up at him from under his bangs, his hair down for once since they'd already had a shower. “You did?” He nearly whispered. “Or...someone else did?”
too loud for comfort by vaporeon_ninja
When Kirishima is hit with a telepathy quirk, he finds that it its not nearly as cool as movies and comics make it out to be.
someone has to know by terribletuesday
In which Kirishima gets hit with a quirk that leads him to the truth he's always known, and the sacrifice he's willing to make for it.
Or Bakugou Katsuki loses his best friend.
unbreakable by starryeyedchar
Midoriya shook his head again. “I’m not hurt.”
“For the love of—”
“Midoriya,” Shouto said, interrupting Bakugou. “Yes, you are. Now tell us, where’s the blood coming from?”
Midoriya blinked. “Oh. It’s not mine.”
Shouto sucked in a breath, and glanced at Bakugou, almost afraid to ask any more questions. His eyes had widened, and all the anger was gone from his face. He just looked… terrified. Shocked.
Shock. Midoriya wasn’t hurt, he was in shock.
Which again begged the question Bakugou had already asked twice.
“….Where’s Kirishima?”
i hope atleast one of these gets the tears flowing ;-; lmk if u want more angst or a fluff rec list to balance this out maybe lol

Shattered Trust (part 5)
“Why did you leave?”
Veronica pursed her lips and looked away. She couldn’t bear to see the hurt in his eyes. She sighed and carded her fingers through his hair.
“I’m so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I thought you would be better off without me.” She brushed a tear away from his cheek. “I promise I will never leave you again.”
Varian hugged her, letting a few more tears fall. He had exactly what he wanted. How long would it last?
*******
“Varian wasn’t in his room.” Rapunzel sighed and dropped onto her throne. “He might be in town today.”
Catalina and Angry looked at eachother confusedly. “Why is Varian so upset? We haven’t seen him in a few days, what happened?”
Rapunzel groaned and mentally slapped herself. The girls didn’t know.
“We uh... we lied to him. About something rather big and he’s really mad at us.”
Lance snorted from where he was sitting on the side. “’Mad is an understatement. I have not seen him this angry at anyone since... well, since I don’t know when.”
Rapunzel thought back to the day he stole the flower. “I have, and trust me, if we let him be alone for too long something bad could happen.”
Eugene cleared his throat and gave her a look.
“I didn’t mean like that. I was wrong to think he would do something like that again.”
Eugene nodded, apparently satisfied with her answer. “Alright, but I do think we should give him some space to clear his head.”
******
Varian immediately liked his mother. She was everything he’d thought she’d be and more. After he was done crying, they’d spent the day together. They got to know one another and it was great. That was when he found out she had tried to come back once when he was five.
“So, he wouldn’t even talk to you?” Varian asked her quietly.
Veronica nodded. “He was so mad. I mean, he had every right to be after I left without a word. And you... well, you weren’t there that day. I never got to see you.”
“What did you do?”
“Well, after your father yelled at me, I left. I had no reason to stay. He didn’t want me back in his life and I can’t really say I blame him.”
They both were silent for a moment before she asked him a question.
“How did you know I was here?”
“Monty told me. He was surprised he hadn’t seen us with you yet.” Varian bit back another wave of tears. “They- they lied to me. They all told me you were dead. When I asked why they lied, dad wouldn’t say anything. Rapunzel said she was afraid I would leave Corona with you.”
Veronica looked surprised. “Why would the queen think I would want to take you away?”
Varian laughed bitterly. “I don’t know. She’s never been this insecure about our friendship before. It’s almost like... like she’s jealous? I don’t know why. I mean, she has no reason to be.”
Veronica was silent for a moment. “Varian, you should talk to them. Perhaps this is the only way to make things right. For everyone’s sake.”
Varian nodded. He really didn’t want to but he knew she was right. He couldn’t keep ignoring his friends no matter how much he wanted and no matter what they’d done, they were still his family and he loved them. That would never change.
*****
Varian and Veronica went to the palace later that day. Pete and Stan were pleasantly surprised to see him.
Pete hugged the young alchemist and it seemed like he was trying not to cry. “I’m so happy you aren’t trying to kill us right now!”
Varian pat his back awkwardly. “Yeah... me too?”
After releasing him, the two guards allowed them in the castle.
“Rapunzel is going to be so stoked to see you!”
Varian bit back a bitter comment. No matter what Rapunzel had done he had to keep a level head. He refused for things to turn out like they had last time.
They entered the throne room to find all his friends were looking anxious. Rapunzel most of all.
When she saw Varian she jumped up and ran to hug him but stopped short when he backed away from her. Instead she offered him a smile.
“Varian, I am so sorry.”
“For what?”
A look of confusion crossed her features. “W-what do you mean?”
“What are you sorry for? Lying to me? Letting Nigel lock me in a dungeon for something I didn’t do? Oh, or sending Cassandra of all people to talk to me.” The bitterness in his voice stung like venom. “Did you think I was going to go back to being a villain? Is that something you’re scared of?”
He expected her to deny it right away, but instead she turned her head away and bit back tears.
“I... Varian I...” She couldn’t even bring herself to say it.
Varian once again felt his heart shatter into a million pieces. Why was she so scared of him? Scared of him. One of his best friends, his basically sister, was scared of him. Scared he would turn to kidnappings and murder plots at the drop of a hat. Scared he would turn into a monster again.
“Okay.” Varian’s voice was barely over a whisper. He looked right at Rapunzel. He wanted to be angry at her. He wanted to yell and make her feel just as wronged and betrayed as he did. But one look into her eyes and he could tell she was already suffering tremendously from guilt. He didn’t want to add to that. “That’s okay. You don’t have to say anything.”
She was surprised by how soft his voice had gotten.
“I can tell we’re having trust issues.” Varian decided he would be the bigger person and make the first move to forgive. “But Rapunzel, you don’t have to worry about me like that. I’m not going to try and hurt you again.”
Rapunzel nodded and she knew he meant it. She took a step forward, arms out as she waited for Varian to accept the hug. Varian fell into her embrace and for a moment, everything seemed like it was going to be okay.
Veronica watched with a smile. It gave her no greater joy than to see her son surrounded by people who loved him.
The Nigel walked in and that moment ended.
“Your majesty, we went back to his lab and we found this.” Nigel marched forward and showed Rapunzel the automaton plans. “I have every right to believe he wants to use them for evil.”
Rapunzel stared at the plans but Varian wasn’t worried about her. He glared at Nigel.
“Did you break into my house?” He demanded angrily.
Nigel fixed a cold, steely glare of his own on the boy. “Don’t try to turn me into the bad guy. The evidence for your conviction is right here.”
Rapunzel slowly looked at Varian. “Var, what is this?”
Varian snatched the plans out of her hands and kept his glare at Nigel. “Do you want to know why I have these? Do you want to know what this is? I’m trying to help my village.”
Rapunzel stayed silent as Varian explained.
“I tweaked the design so that instead of them being made for battle, they’re supposed to be used for construction.” He crossed his arms. “I’ll take your apology now, Nigel.”
Nigel glared at him. “Do you truly expect me to apologize to you? How do we know you aren’t lying?”
Rapunzel stepped in, fixing her own glare on Nigel. “He’s not. I trust him.”
Nigel crossed his arms. “Forgive me for saying this your majesty, but trusting this boy is foolish and would only lead to the end of the kingdom.”
“Excuse me!” Rapunzel demanded, her gaze intensifying. “How dare you, Nigel! Varian has proven time and time again how trustworthy he is! How can you still not believe in him?”
“Forgive me, but you were quite certain he would return to his old ways when he left yesterday.”
“And that was my mistake. I shouldn’t have even entertained the thought.” She looked at Varian apologetically. “I’m sorry.” She looked back at Nigel, her glare returning. “But you do not get to go and arrest my friend because he yelled at me. He was angry and had every right to be.”
Varian watched Nigel’s face go red from anger and embarrassment. “But he’s attacked the kingdom before! Who’s to say he won’t do it again!”
Rapunzel grit her teeth. “That’s enough, Nigel.”
“Your majesty, he is a danger to Coro-”
“THAT IS ENOUGH NIGEL!” Rapunzel yelled, startling everyone in the room. “I want you to take a leave of absence.”
“What! For how long?”
She sighed and ran a hand over her face. “I don’t know!” Just, go. We all need to take a breather and I don’t want you two in the same room.”
“Then why send me off!”
“Because you’re being irrational and I don’t trust you around him right now!” That’s why.” Rapunzel crossed her arms. “Now, Nigel.”
The man grumbled under his breath but walked away, aggressively brushing past Veronica on his way out.
Varian let out a breath he didn’t even know he was holding in. “Thank you.”
Rapunzel gave him a tight lipped smile. She was obviously still stressed out. “Of course. I’m sorry for everything that happened. I shouldn’t have lied or doubted you.”
Varian nodded. “And while all this was happening, I found my mom.”
Her eyes widened. “You... what?”
He pointed his head towards Veronica who took that as her cue to walk over.
She did and gave the queen a smile. “Your majesty.” She bowed her head. “Thank you, for standing up for my son. It... it means alot to me, to know that he has such a good friend.”
Rapunzel couldn’t decide between being shocked and faking happiness. The result was her staring blankly as everything Quirin told her ran through her mind. This woman seemed nice enough. But then again, so had Gothel.
She shook off her thoughts and gave her a smile. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. Um... thanks for watching after Varian for the day. I know I was the last person he wanted to see.”
If his mother noticed her apprehension, she didn’t comment on it. “Yes, well. I hope you two can patch things up. I’d hate for you to end your friendship over me.”
Rapunzel was startled by this. It was an odd thing to say. The queen looked into her eyes but only saw warmth and motherly affection.
“Uh... right. Yes. I mean, I love Varian. I would never let that happen, of course.” She awkwardly stumbled over what to say. She wasn’t quite sure what to make of the woman.
“Rapunzel,” Varian’s voice was soft and his eyes were kinder than she’d seen them in a while. “I know my dad probably said some awful things about her but, she’s changed. I trust her.”
Rapunzel resisted the urge to tell him he’s barely known her for a day. But, knowing the reaction that would entail, she instead smiled and nodded. “Okay. If you trust her then I do too.”

Missing Weapon
Another scene that lives rent free in my head. This is a scene that won't be written in the rp since our characters won't be around for it, but I thought would be interesting interesting be happening in the background. Basically in a plot with @nats-rp-world Karen and Lys get kidnapped by Hunter J cause Carl is a vengeful dick, and hey legendary powers. And like what if theyvwerent the only ones who want to exploit Karen's link with Ho-oh. Also may make the Oc in this a perm character on the multi muse once I get back on it. Also the amount of japanese governmental stuff I've researched to figure out her place, ugh so much.
The stacks of paper were always high at the old woman's desk. It also wasn't terribly uncommon to have the stacks all be pertaining to two individuals she had the unfortunate of being responsible for. Her title was being one of the Supreme Court judges of the Kanjo region, but in all honesty her job mostly revolved around the two individuals in the executive's, Lance's, elite four cabinet that never seemed to be far from trouble.
"W-would you like the medical records miss?"
Sato pipped in. Danuja didn't take her eyes off the window she was staring out of to answer him giving a deep sigh. Right the records. Blue was the first to expose Karen and Will. In exchange for freedom the young woman told them about the connection the two had to the legendary pokemon. When Pryce returned his freedom was bought with handing over copies of the medical records, and tests he had the two of them go through as children trying to figure out more on this link. She'd spent years trying to find something, or hell even a way to control the brats who were nothing but stubborn mules when it came to authority only to find nothing. They'd even corrupted Lance some in making him side with them more often than the league lessening her power on finding out some way to replicate their link or control them.
Now one of them was missing.
"No....it wouldn't help."
She sighed deeply finally getting around to answer him.
"Ma'm....um there must be something something can be done I know how valuble-"
"You know do you?"
The woman snapped suddenly. Her eyes ripped from the window still refraining from turning in her chair as she let her anger leak out. Well anger might be a strong word, it was how she felt like expressing her frustrations at the moment.
"Do you understand that one of our elites, one of out strongest members of our region who has a link to one of the legendary pokemon, has been missing for 2 days. The last place she was seen was with that stupid Kalosian terrorist she's apparently in love with who very well could of discovered her link and could be planning to do something with it. He may of destroyed Kalos's greatest weapon, so why not use one of ours."
She snapped to be met with the quiet reply of.
"Well....since he's missing also maybe someone has them both?"
"Oh yes that's better. If they know of her link then they have Ho-oh and with him they possibly have information on Kalos's legendary pokemon. Dammit Sato if I could just get a leash on the bitch we wouldn't be here."
She yelled having stood sharply moments before and stormed her way over to another stack filled with some new energy to look over everything again. This was nothing short of a disaster, and if that woman would just listen, hell if the whole lot of them would listen more maybe they'd be somewhere. At least that was what she told herself.
Sato went dead silent at her verbal lashing watching her scanning through another paper.
"Miss....if Will is psychic....do we even know what she's capable of?"
He asked surprised by how long it took her to answer.
"No...we know nothing, but in some ways that scares me even more. Pryce has reports of attempting resurrection of the dead with her as a test subject, so that alone leads to terrifying possibilities. I don't even think she knows....so she could accidentally unleash...well who know what. All I know is that no other region, except perhaps Unova has a link like this to their legsndaries. What separates us from Unova is that she have her and him in governmental roles. We have so much power available all it needs is unlocking and control...now one of those is missing and we need to handle this before the public notices."
With that she turned back to the papers starting to scan them again for something.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Random funny scene:
@dragoncaper
@psychic-master-will
Lance finally finding out about the legendary link.
Lance: ".....So...you and Will are linked to legendary pokemon and told no one!?"
Karen: "We vowed to keep quiet about it, but that's kind of mute I guess."
Lysandre: "We can avoid letting anyone else find out hopefully."
Koga: "Are you capable of controlling fire then since Will is psychic?"
Karen: "No, and I can't raise the dead either. Well I don't think I can't, last time I tried there was this whole mess with Xerneas and Yveltal and Will was needed cause souls-"
Will: "Yeah it was this while ritual thing, but their souls were already gone, and they needed a spare body-"
Lance: "I'm sorry back up, resurrection?"
Karen: "Yeah, like but without sacrificing a bunch of lives like that Kalos weapon did. Sorry to mention it babe."
Lysandre: "It's fine, but we should never tell Az about this."
Lance: Going sheet white imagining zombie apocalypse. "Dear arceus."
Karen: "Look I think Necromancy would be alot cooler than fire power, why does everyone assume fire power anyway. It's so lame in comparison."

Our queen's music haunts these halls : Part 2
Tumblr media
AN : It's finally done ! I'm really happy this story is over with since i have other wips i'm really excited to work on.
Summary : It has been a few years since the end of the war and Adora wants to ask Glimmer something.
[Previous] Ao3
----
A few years later, Adora was in her and Glimmer's room. Adora and Glimmer were both twenty-two and twenty-one years old and had been dating for about four years. After being together for so long Adora had been thinking about popping the big question.
Now there was a bit of a problem she had no idea how. She knew she wanted it to be special,something they both could look back on too. She had been laying in bed for some time brainstorming ideas and so far she had nothing.
It was frustrating her to no end. "Come on ! There has to be something !" she sighed a defeated look on her face. Scorpia who had come to visit with Perfuma slightly tilted her head "Well are there any traditions that you know of ? Didn't you go to Bow's dad to research First Ones ? Was there anything there ?" Adora sighed "Yeah but i already knew most of it." Scorpia raised an eyebrow "Really ?" "Yeah First Ones propose with necklaces which they often craft themselves."
Scorpia nodded in understanding "So are you going to craft yours ?" "Yeah i will"
Now crafting the necklace on it's own could take some time. Designing it,getting all the materials and then making it. It was quite the process. Adora already had a pretty good idea of what she wanted the necklace to look like. That still didn't fix her main dilemma sadly. She knew what she was going to propose with but still had no idea how.
Sensing her annoyance Scorpia suggested "How about going the traditional way ? Or just going simple ? We both know Glimmer will say yes either way." 
Adora groaned " I just want it to be special, something we both could look back on." There was a bit of silence. Adora shot up which took Scorpia off guard "Did you say traditional ?" Scorpia was a bit weirded out by the sudden question "Hum..yeah ?" Adora's eyes lit up " I think i know what i'm going to do !" Scorpia smiled "Really ?" 
Adora nodded "Yep !" she got off the bed "You know Angella taught me how to play piano right ? " Scorpia raised an eyebrow wondering where she was going with this "Yes..?" her friend then went on "Well she taught me this  song that is used to propose to nobles so maybe i could do that ?" 
Adora was pretty sure stars formed in Scorpia's eyes " Awww ! That's adorable ! Glimmer will absolutely love it !" And with that Adora knew she had struck gold. She then left the room but then something crossed Scorpia's mind "Wait a minute !" Adora turned around at the sound of her voice "What ?" "Shouldn't you get Micah's blessing first ?" she gasped her friend was right "Oh my god ! How could I forget ! I better do that first ! '' and off they went.
Now their main objective was to find Micah. They hadn't seen him since yesterday so they had no idea where he was. There was a good chance he was with Glimmer at her office. Adora hoped that wasn't the case. She wanted to ask him Glimmer's hand in marriage and if she was there it would ruin the surprise. 
There was also a high chance he was in his own office,the library or in the gardens. They were closer to the library's location so they might as well start there. While they were on their way with hopes of finding Micah, they ran into Bow. 
Adora greeted him as Scorpia hugged him "Hi Bow!" he smiled "Hey guys ! How are you guys doing ?" "Good but i want to ask you something"
He blinked before smiling saying "Sure ! What do you want ?" "Do you know where Micah is ?" Scorpia then added "Adora needs to ask him something. It's really important." 
He thought for a moment "Actually i saw him in the hall not too long ago. He said he was going to the gardens so he's probably there by now" Adora and Scorpia looked at each other smiling "Thanks !" 
Bow slightly tilted his head noticing their excitement " Your welcome ! What do you even need to ask him anyways ? It seems like a pretty big deal" Adora and Scorpia shot each other a look "Well it is a big deal. We will talk to you about it later." He raised an eyebrow even more confused "Okay...see you later" "See ya !" spoke the warrior as she walked past him on her way to the gardens.
Micah was happily drinking tea and admiring the gorgeous view outside. With the sun out, the beautiful flowers and the colorful chirping birds. He smiled at the view. Meanwhile, Adora had finally made it at the gardens with Scorpia waiting near the door frame. She looked around in search of Micah. She then saw him drinking tea at a table.
She went to him. When he noticed her presence he was shocked. Normally, the host of She Ra was busy working with the guards at this hour. "Adora ? What a surprise ! Aren't you supposed to be working at this hour ?" 
"Well I took the day off" His eyes widened and Adora stifled a laugh at his face. His reaction was pretty understandable. She wasn't one to take breaks let alone complete days off.
He took a quick sip of his tea before placing the cup down on the table. "I see...Well then what's going on ?" clearly something must have been going on if she took the day off.
She rubbed her neck a bit uneasy by what she was planning to ask him. She took a deep breath "Well i wanted to ask you something" he blinked at her words a curious look dawning on his face as he took another sip of tea "Well go ahead !" she gulped "I wanted to know if i could have Glimmer's hand in marriage" 
The king's teacup fell to the ground after he registered her words which made internally panic. He took a quick look at the now broken cup on the ground before turning to look at Adora,mouth agape. "Are you asking me to give you my blessing ?" She gulped "Hum...yes ?"
He didn't say anything for like a few seconds which made Adora nervous. He then placed both of his hands on her shoulders looking at her deep in the eyes "Take care of her" Her eyes widened before she spoke  "I will" and with that she went inside.
Scorpia was still at the door waiting for her. She excitedly came next to her when she arrived. "So what did he say ?" Adora was silent for a few seconds. "He told me to take care of her." She opened the door to her office settling down at her desk pen and paper in front of her. 
Now she had to make a basic sketch of the betrothal necklace. She already had an idea of what she wanted it to look like. A sun accompanied by a crescent moon. Scorpia happily watched her sketch and when she was done her eyes were filled with excitement. "That looks really good ! I can't wait to see the final result." Adora smiled at her "Thanks !" She was pretty happy with the final result. Now she just had to get all the materials needed to make it. Someone knocked on the door.
Adora wondered who it was. She hoped it wasn't Glimmer because as much as she loved seeing her this was not a good time. She hesitantly called out "Come in" Bow came in immediately noticing the sheet of paper in Adora's hand. He pointed his finger at it "Hey, what's that ?" 
Adora and Scorpia looked at the sheet awkwardly "Huhhh...it's a sketch" he tilted his head curious " A sketch ? What is it ? Can i see it ?" She shyly brought it up to him. His eyes widened in shock. His dads being historians knew quite a lot about First Ones culture and they talked about it a lot when they came to visit so he knew what this sketch was representing. His mouth got wide which made Adora nervous.
He stared at her "Is that a..?" she nodded. Then it dawned on him "So what you wanted to ask Micah was.." " His blessing" finished Adora. His eyes lit up as he tightly hugged the girl "awww!!! Adora and Glimmer are gonna get married !!" she laughed at his words " Slow down a bit ! I haven't even asked her yet" 
Bow's eyes were filled with excitement "Still ! This is a pretty big step you are taking ! So, how are you gonna pop the question ? Have you decided ?" 
Scorpia chimed in "She has, she's going to do the proposal song well after she makes the finalized necklace." 
Her words if anything, only got Bow more excited stars forming in his eyes awwing. Adora took a look at the sheet of paper before placing it down saying "Well i should get all the materials needed for my necklace."
 As she was on her way out of the room something dawned on Bow "Wait…" he called her name " Adora ! I need to ask you something !" She raised an eyebrow "Huh sure go ahead." "Did Angella teach you the proposal song ?" "Yeah she did" she was a bit confused. Where was he going with this ? She was about to ask him that but didn't when she saw tears forming in eyes. He looked at her "Do you know what this means ?" 
She only got more confused and judging by her face Scorpia was just as confused as she was. "Hum..the fact that the song is gonna take alot of effort to pull off ?" she wasn't wrong but that wasn't what he was trying to say here "True but that's not the point i'm trying to make here" Ok she was even more confused than she was before.
Scorpia spoke up sounding just as confused as she was "Hum that she wants to marry Glimmer and spend the rest of her life with her ? I'm quite certain that's fairly obvious at this point." Adora nodded in agreement. Bow just decided to get straight to the point and get it over with.
"It means that Angella knew you two would be together all along and not only that you had her blessing since the very beginning."
Adora froze as she connected the dots in her mind. Her shock then became happiness as she spoke "Yeah..looks like she did." She didn't notice that tears had fallen from her eyes until Scorpia asked "Adora are you ok ? You're crying" Bow placed his hand on her shoulder.
Adora wiped her tears away "No i'm alright it's just..a lot to take in" Bow hugged her and when he let go they all smiled and left the room they had a proposal to plan.
Adora already knew where to get all the materials needed. George and Lance's house. With them being historians fascinated by First One culture they possessed an enormous amount of artefacts and what not. 
Some time later, they had made it at their destination. George and Lance were rather surprised to see them "Adora ? Bow ? Scorpia ? What a nice surprise !" Spoke Lance "What brings you three here ?" asked George. The three friends hugged them before Adora spoke up "Actually i need a couple of First One materials" Both men raised an eyebrow "Really what for ?"
"Well I'm planning to propose to Glimmer soon and I want to make a betrothal necklace for her and I know you too have what I need to make it." Their eyes got wide "You're going to propose to Glimmer ? Congrats !"  Lance added "We have everything you need. Let me get them." he then left the room. 
George took a sip of his tea "Why don't you all come and sit down." So they did and they all found themselves in pleasant conversations but George brought up something that was on his mind "So Adora, tell me about that upcoming proposal you're planning" "Hum...it's nothing much really. I'm just going to play the proposal song for her."
"Really ?" spoke Lance who had just returned with a big box filled with shiny looking materials "Well now we know for sure that Glimmer's going to love it. She always enjoys it when you play piano." He placed the box on the table.
Adora got up taking a look at the contents inside of it. She pulled out a couple items all while looking at them very closely. Eventually she found all the materials she needed. They stayed there for a bit before biding their goodbyes.
When they make it back home Adora retreats to her office while Scorpia goes to see Perfuma and Bow to his room. Adora then spent the rest of the day making the necklace. When she was finally done she was happy with the final results. She gently put it in her pocket before deciding to go to her and Glimmer's room. 
When she arrived, Glimmer was in bed, reading a book.The queen's eyes lit up noticing her lover's presence "Adora ! Where were you ? I barely saw you today." Adora chuckled, giving the queen a kiss on the forehead "Hum..i was at George and Lance's place" Her girlfriend raised an eyebrow " You were with Bow's Dads ? Why ?" Adora stuttered not knowing what to say "Hum..they...huh wanted me to help them translate First Ones writings." "Oh"
They didn't say anything for a while just enjoying being in each other's arms. Adora kept thinking about the proposal. Looking at her lover she couldn't help wanting it to be perfect. After all she went through it was the least she deserved. Adora was going to make sure it ends up being perfect and with that they spent the rest of the afternoon together. 
The next day, Adora goes back to her office. Now she had to work on the infamous proposal song which meant adding lyrics to it first. This could take quite some time to do. She rarely wrote songs let alone happy ones. She mostly wrote them to cope with the war. Not only that, she also had a pretty busy schedule so she couldn't really devote a lot of her time to it.
However, in this case the melody was already made so it would be much easier. Or so she thought. She quickly found herself staring at an empty sheet of paper for more than 30 minutes. She banged her head in frustration and groaned. She heard a knock on the door she groaned some more before saying "Come in" 
Bow and Scorpia came in but took a small step back seeing Adora face planted on her desk muffled sounds of frustration coming from her. They cringed at the state of their friend shooting each other a worried look "Hum.. are you okay ?" Adora removed her face from her desk "I'm fine just a bit worked up." Scorpia tilted her head in confusion asking "Worked up ? Over what ?"
Adora sighed, now sitting properly, an exhausted look on her face " The song isn't doing so well right now. I have been staring at an empty sheet of paper for I don't know how long." Bow went next to her "Oh, you don't have to beat yourself up about it so badly. You can take all the time you need." Scorpia nodded at his words "Yeah ! Don't pressure yourself too much !"
Adora pouted "Yeah i get that..it's just.." she trailed off sighing "It's just i want it to be perfect. Something that expresses how I feel about her and how she makes me feel." Bow nodded in understanding "Well then how does she make you feel ?" Adora paused for a bit trying to articulate her thoughts "She makes me feel so special, loved and safe. Like I'm worth more than what I was led to believe for most of my life. She could have anyone, anybody she wants and yet..it's me." Scorpia had tears in her eyes as Adora spoke. 
Adora then went on "From her point of view it looks like I'm really something special." Bow awed at her "That's so adorable !" Adora blushed at his words but then something struck inside of her "Bow and Scorpia can you please leave ?" she smirked continuing "I think i know what the lyrics are gonna be." they both nod and leave.
Adora turned to the empty sheet of paper, pen in hand, ready to write. Her mind was bursting with creativity as she wrote down word after word. Some time passed, and she was done doing the lyrics quite liking how it turned out in the end. Now she wanted to show it to Micha,Bow and Scorpia to see what they thought about it. They were probably in the gardens gushing about her plan. So that's where she headed to.
When she stepped a foot outside she found Scorpia,Bow and Micah chatting over tea. When they noticed she was there they greeted her with warm and welcoming smiles. "Adora ! Bow and Scorpia were just telling me about how you were going to propose to Glimmer. I must say it will definitely catch her off guard." she smiled "You really think so ? Thanks ! About that I finished making the lyrics and I wanted to know what you all thought about it." she gave them the sheet.
They all started reading as Adora nervously tapped her foot on the ground. An approving smile had formed on their faces making Adora relax. "This is great ! It fits you guys perfectly ! spoke Bow grinning ear to ear Micah nodded in agreement adding "Truly it's very sweet. Glimmer's going to love it." a giant smile crossed her face "Thanks !" and with that she went off to practice it.
Four months later at the rebellion's annual reunion, Adora was freaking out. Despite the fact that she had relentlessly practiced the song, her blood pressure was off the roof. No matter what Bow, Scorpia and Micah did or say nothing seemed to calmed down her nerves. While Adora tried her darnest best to hide it, the rest of her friends including Glimmer had noticed that something was off about her. When they asked her if something was wrong she denied it saying that she was fine. 
After some time they let it go even though they would give her weird looks every now and then. However when Glimmer looked at her, a worried expression written all over her face more than a number of times, Adora decided to get it over with. She shot a look at Bow,Micah and Scopia and they understood; it was time.
She got up which caught the attention of her friends and her girlfriend. She gave her her hand to take saying "Glimmer, come with me" Glimmer had a confused look on her face. What was this all about ? She shrugged following Adora out of the room as did everyone else. Their friends started whispering between them "What's this all about ?" whispered Mermista "I don't know" replied Frosta.
Adora led them outside in the gardens who had gotten quite the makeover for what was coming up. There was a beautiful path  ornate with flowers , lanterns and just gorgeous lights all around. What stood out was Queen Angella's piano at the end of said path. When they reached it Adora turned her attention to Glimmer "I'm going to play you something very special" Glimmer was still rather confused by all of this. It was obvious by Adora's body language that she was nervous. Her lover had played the piano for her countless times before so this was strange.
Adora seated herself, as she played the first couple of notes, she heard multiple gasps from behind her as well whispering. She then started singing which caught her friends off guard.
It's like you got superpowers
Turn my minutes into hours
You got more than 20-20, babe
Made of glass the way you see through me
They never heard her sing before, not even Glimmer. Her voice was gorgeous.
You know me better than I do
Can't seem to keep nothing from you
How you touch my soul from the outside?
Permeate my ego and my pride
Everyone was getting quite emotional as she went on. Bow leaned himself closer to Micah whispering "Looks like all that hard work paid off" the sorcerer smiled "It sure did."
I wanna love me (ooh)
The way that you love me (ooh)
Ooh, for all of my pretty
And all of my ugly too
I'd love to see me from your point of view
I wanna trust me (trust me)
The way that you trust me (trust me)
Ooh, 'cause nobody ever loved me like you do
I'd love to see me from your point of view
Needless to say, Glimmer was absolutely mesmerized by Adora's voice. When she imagined Adora proposing she certainly didn't expect her going the "traditional" way. It had been quite some time since any noble had done this. She was surprised Adora even knew this tradition was even a thing. Adora sang the final line and played the final note.
She got up and took Glimmer's hands in hers eyes conveying nothing but love.
"Glimmer...where am i even supposed to begin ? What can I say that I haven't already ? I love you, I always and I always will. You are the only person I ever wanted, the only person I need. I want to be the sun to your moon more than anything else." she got down on one knee taking the betrothal necklace from her pocket "Glimmer, will you marry me ?"
Glimmer choked out a "yes" as their friends filmed behind them. Adora smiled putting the betrothal necklace on her now fiance's neck taking her lips in hers as everyone cheered. Glimmer pulled a way saying " I love you Adora" the blonde haired girl smiled "I love you too"

Can you write a fluff piece with Dad!Keith playing with his baby boy (all cute and chubs) and his wife!reader?
Keef!!! Papa!! Up up!!" You laughed as your son was pestering his dad, who was trying to close an alliance deal with a planet in the galaxy over. Tex, named after his grandfather, Keith's dad, had just turned three years old and he was absolutely enamoured by his father. He followed him everywhere, you even found him trying on his Keith's Admiral uniform blazer, which you took a picture of that Keith now keeps in his credit card pouch. Physically, Tex looks alot like you, but he inherited his daddy's doe-like violet eyes. You've also discovered his eyes have a retroreflector, like a cat, which nearly cause you to body slam your own child when you woke up and he was standing right next to you with glowing eyes. Keith didn't believe you until he woke up with his son sittting on his chest looking down on him and the almighty scream your 28 year old husband let out still makes you laugh if you think about it too long. His skin is more similar to yours, but in certain light it has a very slight purple tint. He has extremely long, thick eyelashes, and has unfortunately perfected his "puppy eyes" which Keith is all but immune too. He's also incredibly clever, and picked up that his daddy's name wasn't actually 'daddy' or 'papa'. You think he heard Lance or Krolia say his name and now whenever Tex wants something he'll call his daddy by his name, except, he can't actually say it, so it comes out 'Keef' and it honestly makes your heart soar.
Currently, he was in Keith's arms, poking at his cheeks while Keith was trying to keep a straight face and continue the call. Out of all the things that made you love your husband so wholly, the fact he would never put work before his family was always the thing that made you fall in love with him time and time again. He would never say excuses for being late, and if Tex was pestering him in the middle of a call, he would always see if he was okay, and usually let him stay during the call, holding him or just letting him play quietly on the floor.
You remember when you discovered you were pregnant, and when you told Keith.
He had been so excited, finally glad to have a chance to give someone the childhood he never had. He had also been terrified. He was so incredibly worried that he wouldn't live up to expectations and he would fail his child, but you had been quick to dispel that, telling him you knew how much of a good man he was, and how much he loved you and his child already. He had even asked you if you could wait, until Tex was old enough, so that we could attend your wedding as a ring bearer and be involved. You guys had yet to be married, engaged for nearly four years, and you thought it was perfect. Of course, everything had it's wonky bits, like when Tex caught whooping cough shortly after he was born and you and Keith were distraught for weeks after. He has been fine, the wonder of Galra/Alien medication but it was a taxing time. During that, you and Keith hadn't had the time to speak for a while, and once you were cleared to take Tex home, you nearly collapsed from stress. He immediately made you go to sleep, and promised he would join you once he put Tex down for a nap. You woke in the middle of the night, and Keith hadn't been there, which made you incredibly sad because after everything you just missed him. You had wandered into the sitting room, and saw Keith asleep on the couch, a book of fairytales from your childhood open on his chest. The cot for the baby was pushed right up next to it, and the side was off so he could keep an eye on his son. The memory, though painful, always made you feel so warm and loved, and you knew without any doubt that Keith would always be there, and be an amazing dad.
Telling Krolia you were pregnant had been a whole different story. She'd be overjoyed, of course but the Galra have a ton of different traditions when it comes to pregnancies. Once you'd smoothed out that no, you weren't going to give birth in 6 weeks, and no humans can't detect the gender of a baby by scent, it went fairly smoothly. You had been a bit scared that Tex might be a little frightened of the Galra, especially the Blade members, as they towered over you all at 8ft tall, with their ears and deep fur and claws. But, Tex was absolutely fine with them. He kept on calling Thace "Kitty!! Fluffy Kitty!!" Which made Keith laugh so hard he'd have to leave the room, and now whenever Keith is on call with Blade business, Tex makes grabby hands at the holo-screen and giggles "Kitty!! Hello big kitty!!!" Which, in the middle of genuine serious meetings, isn't the most formal but it makes everyone chuckle, and does infact relieve some of the tension in the room, and usually when Keith is stressed about new diplomatic agreements, you'll just strategically place Tex into the room with him, so he'll help ease the air of the call. It's hard to argue against inter-planitary allegiances or the value/ trustworthyness (since some planets are still wary of the galra) of the Marmora group when theres a tiny baby in the arms of what is essentially to him a very big teddy bear. You and Keith hadn't yet told him his heritage, although he was aware the Krolia was his grandmother, you doubt he was old enough to realise what that actually meant yet. Still, for now, you had all you could have hoped for.

They were Roommates 2/2
Unedited. Please ignore the small mistakes and i hope you enjoy it.
"Nadia?"
"Helloo Lance. Longtime no see! How are you this fine afternoon?" she cheerfully greeted.
Lance's brows furrowed in confusion, Sure Nadia was one of Pidge's closest friends but she hardly came over here.
"Katie's in the kitchen." he pointed towards the almost closed door. "What brings you here?" he politely questioned and Nadia winked in reply. "I am here on a very important mission" she declared. "The greatest mission ever inthe history of mankind. I am here to do God's work!"
Lance shook his head in amusement, Pidge had no right to call him overdramatic when her own bestfriend was like a walking theatre. "You!" she pointed at him. "You might be actually very useful for this mission"
Lance immediately perked up, "What is the mission about? Is it something for Katie?" Nadia nodded approvingly, "Katie was right. You are smart"
His eyes widened, "Katie thinks I am smart?" that was news for him.
Nadia nodded, "She says you have a way with humans and this trait of yours will surely come useful because you see my dear friend Katie is a very intelligent woman when it comes to science."
Nadia then sighed exhaustedly, "But she can be so oblivious when it comes to human emotions. She wouldn't able to spot true love if he danced in front of her wearing 'I ♥ K' shirt"
Lance chuckled at the imagery, "Actually I can agree with you on that"
"I am so glad you do because now we have a chance to make things right!" Nadia stated as Lance gave her quizzical look.
"Are you trying to set her on a date?" he questioned, his tone had taken a more sober turn. Nadia could feel that although his expression hadn't really changed, the lightheartedness had disappeared.
She fixed her glasses as she continued, "Well yes. You see I have noticed that James really likes her"
"The guy inside?" he questioned again, pointing towards the kitchen. Yet again his tone was nueteral but there was a certain edge to it.
"Isn't he cute?" she questioned, suspiciously.
Lance muttered something inaudible to himself, she noticed that his eyes were constantly flitting back to the kitchen. Nadia's curiosity levels were rising as her mind played the multiple possibilities.
Katie's roommate had a thing for her? That was a stupid question to ask it seemed pretty obvious that he had. Nadia mentally facepalmed, she wouldn't put past her friend to not notice that. To be fair, he was quite a looker too. They would make a cute couple as well, she grinned evilly.
But first she needed to find out if Katie liked him as well or not. Nadia really wanted to further interrogate Lance but just at the wrong time her phone started ringing.
Usually she would just told the person to call later but considering the said person was her mom, she just sadly excused herself.
Lance only distractedly nodded in acknowledgement as Nadia headed towards Katie's room. The conversation with her mother ended up being longer than she had originally ended. By the time she finished, Katie had already returned to her room.
"Hey!" Nadia grinned widely but Katie was not going to buy the act.
"What are you doing here. Didn't you have a test today?" she questioned suspiciously.
Nadia pouted, Katie should be happy that Nadia was here to fix her weird love life. Ungrateful friends but being the good friend she was, Nadia decided not to take her friend's hostility to the heart. Instead she decided to test her theory.
"Class got cancelled. So I came here to check on Mr Cutie" she informed, Nadia leaned closer as anticipated her friend's reaction.
Katie merely smiled in amusement, "He just left a few minutes ago besides you are going to see him tomorrow in class anyway so what's the rush?"
Theory one- Currently rejected. It was time to test the second theory
"Speaking of cuties, your roommate is pretty cute too. Do you know who he is dating recently?" Nadia smirked.
To Nadia's utter amusement. Katie frowned, a look of irritation sparked in her eyes. "Geez Nads, Last time I checked I wasn't the manager of his love life"
"Still you seem to be extensively aware of it" Nadia grinned, seeing Katie's cheeks puffed up.
"Hard not to notice when he was parading them all around our apartment" Katie replied dryly causing Nadia to almost choke at her own laughter.
"Although.." Katie thoughtfully added, "He hasn't brought anyone for a longtime now"
"Do you think he might be currently interested in someone?" Nadia questioned, evilly.
Katie shook her head in a horrified manner, "God help whichever poor girl he is after now"
____________
"I don't believe this" Allura whispered. "Well it's the truth. I did an experiment and everything" Nadia assured.
"Didn't you go there to check on Katie and James?" Romelle reminded.
"I did" Nadia nodded gravely. "So did you?" Allura questioned raising a suspicious brow.
Nadia laughed nervously, "I got a bit distracted with my new observation."
"Nadia.." The two girls chided.
"Guys you have to believe me-" Nadia defense was cut off by Keith's entrance.
"Hey, what are you guys upto?" he greeted taking his usual seat next to Allura.
Nadia immediately perked up at the sight of new audience, "Keith, you have no idea what I discovered!" she declared proudly. Keith questionably looked at Allura who simply shrugged before turning back to Nadia.
"Lance likes Katie!" she announced, awaiting for another shocked reaction.
"I know that" he casually informed. "So it's actually true?" Allura questioned excitedly, earning a glare from Nadia.
Allura nervously laughed, "Now Nadia honey. You do have a tendency to overstate at times."
Keith smirked, "He rejected Miranda Green for her. Of course it's true"
"What!!" The three girls echoed.
"Please tell me you are not joking" Nadia asked in disbelief. Keith shrugged, "I don't joke"
"Dude I don't think even I could reject Miranda Green. Lance must be really serious" Nadia concluded.
Keith rolled his eyes as he crossed his arms, "He talks about her all the time in class. He better be serious"
"If Katie likes Lance as well. How come they fight so much?" Romelle questioned, confused.
Nadia smirked devilishly, "It must definitely be the tension between them"
"Although.." Allura tapped her chin thoughtfully, "If you think about it. It's been sometime since Katie has mentioned a fight between her and Lance"
Keith smirked, "You guys are finally catching on. This thing has been going on for sometime now" he stated.
"How come you never mentioned it to me before?" Allura asked.
"Well it isn't really my place to tell besides I knew you guys would eventually figure it out. They radiate vibes of an old married couple"
____________________
Lance glared at the half written page, his brain felt numb and with every passing second he was losing his will to live.
"Stupid sea! Stupid fishes! Stupid life!" he muttered angrily, trying his best to keep his brain alive.
"Still here?" a mischievous voice called, he looked up to see Pidge standing at the doorway of the kitchen with her trusty laptop.
Lance groaned, rubbing his eyes "Kill me. I know you always wanted to do that"
Pidge nodded sympathetically, "I would but since I worked really hard this semester. I can't afford to go to jail"
She walked over to him and inspected the screen. A ray of hope lit inside his heart, Pidge was a genius, she could definitely help him.
"Deep sea ecology.." she mumbled to herself. Pidge sighed, giving Lance yet another sympathetic look but this one seemed more genuine.
"I am sorry but I am terrible in biology. I can't help you" she apologized and Lance's eyes widened with shock. Even Pidge couldn't help him it was definitely the end of the world.
"But your mom is a botanist! You own half a dozen plants! How can you be bad at biology?!" he questioned desperately.
"Well unfortunately my brother and I got the physics part more from our dad. As for the plants, I would consider myself more of a gardener rather than a botanist besides you wouldn't consider every dog owner a zoologist now would you" she explained.
Unfortunately that explanation brought little comfort to the sleep deprived boy. "I am going to flunk this class" he cried out in distress.
Pidge cautiously eyed her roommate, had he finally cracked?
"You aren't going to fail this assignment" she tried to reassure, comfortingly rubbing his shoulders.
"You still have time" she reminded, glancing at the clock. It was 1 in the morning. Unfortunately Lance was wasn't much a night owl, at his best he could probably stay awake till 3 am.
"Not alot of time but you can still do it" she whispered mostly to herself.
Lance lowered his head in defeat, "It's no use I don't have the energy anymore. My brain is numb"
"I can help you with that" she offered heading towards the kitchen cabinets.
"I know you are more of tea person but coffee is your savior today." she informed. Lance nodded gratefully, "So what are you working on in this fine hour?"
"Matt and I are working on a program and I needed to get the coding done for it by yesterday but then I got occupied with that project with James... so here I am!"
"We are very sad people" Lance bitterly concluded as Pidge handed him his coffee. "Drink this and I am sure you will stay awake for atleast another hour" she assured.
"Thanks" he mumbled taking a sip of the hot energizing beverage.
"Wait where are you going?" he questioned, as Pidge headed towards the door with her laptop and her own coffee mug. "Well you are working here so I will work in my room" she explained.
Lance shook his head " I think the kitchen table is big enough for both of us to work at the same time"
A bitter taste entered his mouth but it wasn't the coffee. It was jealousy as he was reminded about yesterday's events, Lance knew he was acting petty but he couldn't help it.
"You were working here with James just fine" He added.
Surprise overtook Pidge as her eyes widened at the sudden mention, it caused another wave of irrational jealousy in his stomach.
"We were working on the same thing so of course we had to sit together" she replied, feeling a spike of irritation.
Lance shrugged, "We can still work here together. There is enough space and I know this is your favorite place to work"
"Come on" he urged, "I don't bite"
Pidge wearily eyed him, "Factually speaking I do know some girls who might say otherwise" Nontheless she took a seat beside him, opening the laptop with a exhausted sigh.
She took a big gulp of coffee, glaring at the screen as Lance had a few minutes ago before started her work. Pidge furiously typed letting out all her exhaustion and frustration on the keyboard.
Lance simply watched, momentarily forgetting about his own assignment. Although she was one of the most straightforward people Lance has had the pleasure of knowing but Pidge was still great in hiding her emotions towards people.
Heck she gave Lance a hard time figuring if she liked him or not.
"P-Katie?" Lance warily called. "Hmmm?" she hummed in response, if she ever felt any surprise of him using her real she certainly didn't show it.
"Do you hate me?" he asked abruptly.
The exhausted look Pidge gave him reminded him of his dear mother, "Yes, I hate you and that's why I made you coffee and comforted you a few minutes ago" she sarcastically stated.
Lance weakly chuckled at the response, feeling a sense of relief.
"But I don't think you really like me that much either" he mumbled. "I can't blame you though I did alot of things that pissed you off"
"I used to do a lot of those things too but none of us has done either of those things for a longtime now" Pidge reminded him, still glaring at her computer screen.
"Still I threw that big party that almost got both us into deep trouble even though you warned me not to do so"
Pidge shrugged, "But we did figure out a solution and didn't get into trouble. It happened months ago and now it doesn't matter"
Lance smiled to himself, "It mattered to me. It was the first time we actually worked together"
"Oh" she whispered looking at him, realising he was right. It was the start of their era of peace after months of bickering and fighting with one another.
"And I really like it. You know us getting along..." he confessed shyly.
The night was a quiet cold one. It felt like the whole city was fast asleep except for the moon and the two souls. The late night provided an atmosphere of drunkness, the sleepy drunkness when our thoughts don't remain guarded by the walls of hesitation.
That gives us the bravery to face what we try to avoid. Lance had realized that he was long lost in those amber eyes. Not many had the courage to explore those golden orbs but here he was lost inthe desert, wandering as a thirsty man in search of water afraid that he wouldn't survive long.
Katie on the other hand was only inthe brink of realization, she had unknowingly ventured deep in the ocean, She was curiously searching for something but still unaware of the deph of the sea. The lack of awareness didn't make her fear the idea of drowning yet.
His words rang in her head, I like it when we get along. She could have retorted with her usual teasing but this was a moment of honesty so she smiled, "I do too"
The grin he gave her in response made his eyes crinkle at the ends, this was the moment she realized that despite of crazy antics at timesshe didn't dislike him. Dislike was far from what she felt, the moments of tolerance had unknowingly turned into fondness but was it the same fondness that she felt for the rest of her friends? Something felt different with Lance.
"So would you like to renew our housing contract for the next semester?" he questioned hopefully.
A few months back the idea of it gave her nightmares but now with the twist time brings Pidge found herself grinning "Sure" she agreed.
Lance's face curled into his signature impish smile, "I can't believe I finally managed to charm you" he teased but there he was again disguising something.
Pidge rolled her eyes at him, "Stop talking and get back to your work or I might start reconsidering my decision"
"Aye Aye ma'am"
__________________________
"Morning!" Lance called out to Pidge as she slowly padded out of her room.
"Morning" Pidge yawned, making a weak effort to fix her bed hair. "Did you get any sleep?" she questioned, inspecting the boy who was fully dressed and ready to go out.
Lance nodded tying his shoes, "Three hours but atleast I got the assignment done. I feel like a free man. Thanks again"
"Anytime" she mumbled still half asleep. "Hey do you want me to drive you to campus?" he asked.
Pidge shook her head, "You are already running late and I don't have class for another hour so I'll just take the bus later"
"I'll see you later" He reached out to ruffle her hair.
"Don't you always" she joked, swatting his hand away. Lance gave her a small smile, "Yeah it's just..." his eyes wandered from her to the clock on the wall. "Shoot! I am late!" he panicked, waving a quick bye before heading out of the door.
"Goofball" she whispered affectionaly closing the door.
_______________________
11:30 am marked the end of her of class. Most of the students had disappeared just as the Professor had left the room but Katie remained seated in her usual spot. She was busy reading the group messages that described the pain of her dear absent friend.
"My cramps are killing me!!"~ Nadia
"Have you tried ginger tea. It helps me"~Allura.
"I have tried everything!!"~Nadia
"There are certain exercise positions that help"~Allura
"Allura,I swear you are going to die as soon as I get the strength to get up!"~Nadia
"I am at the store. I got the painkillers and the chocolates. Coming home soon"~Romelle
"Romelle marry me!!"~Nadia
Katie giggled, Good old Romelle saving the day. Before she could further read the messages to know whether the wedding happened or not, Somebody gently tapped her shoulder.
Katie was surprised to see, pleasantly surprised to see James. "Hey" he greeted and Katie nodded in acknowledgement "Hi"
There was a nervous look in his eyes, "Uh.. Katie can I ask you a favor?"
"Sure?" she answered with uncertainty wondering what could the possible favor be. James cleared his throat, " I was wondering if you could go through with me with the last week lecture."
He nervously scratched the back of his neck, "This is kinda embarrassing but... that lecture totally went over my head and you really explain things so well. When we did the project together it was the first time I had so much fun doing something for Professor Hugo's class"
Katie cursed her pale cheeks as they turned into a bright shade of red but at the same time she felt a jab of sympathy for him. She had her older brother to help with such ordeals or else she might be in such deep waters too.
"Sure, I am free today if you want to come over?" Katie offered to which James nodded gratefully "Thank you!"
__________________
"Hmm..that's weird" she mumbled to herself opening the door to an empty and silent apartment. Lance was usually home at this time, she felt rise of disappointment in her stomach.
"Your roommate isn't home?" James questioned, looking around. Katie shrugged in response, she didn't know whether to find it unusual or normal. She headed to the kitchen where there was a note taped to the fridge.
"Gone to buy groceries" she read, shaking her head. To think he could have used his phone to an advantage and just messaged her that but then again Lance was a man of his own quirks which couldn't be questioned.
"Let's began" she declared opening her notes. James took the seat beside hers and opened his own notebook as well, "Can we please start with the numericals. They kill me a bit everytime I see them"
"Sure" Katie chuckled and they set to work. Tutoring James was hardly a difficult task, he was a fast learner and there were the occasional side conversations and remarks which made the whole thing more interesting. James certainly had a captivating personality but still Katie found herself eyeing the front door waiting for a certain someone to return from his shopping.
"When I got into this university. My mom was so happy she called all our relatives and couldn't stop praising me in front of our neighbors. It was so....embarrassing" he mumbled, the color red dusting on his tanned cheeks.
Katie couldn't help but think how cute he looked. She wasn't aware how many kinds of categories for cute guys existed but James had the mature charm to him unlike Lance who was boyishly cute. The charm of his was the only thing that made him a bit bearable before they learned to get along.
Katie groaned in agreement, "My parents were worse. You would think after my brother they would have calmed down a bit but nooo...When I got accepted they threw a party and all their colleagues and our family kept ask if I was going to follow my parents legacy but I got a decent amount of gifts. So all was forgiven"
James chuckled, leaning closer. "I don't know. I think their reaction was justified. Who wouldn't be proud to have such a genius daughter"
Katie's face turned bright crimson, only now she had noticed how close he had gotten to her. It caused a storm of butterflies in her stomach. She slightly shifted back but in a process to do, she elbowed her textbook which had been dangerously lying at the edge of the table, knocking it down. The book fell between them.
"I'll get it!!" they both called, ducking down to retrieve the book. They both looked at each other slightly startled on now close their faces were. Katie was transfixed by his gaze, not finding the strength to move. Nervousness danced in his blue eyes but they were grayish blue rather than Lance's bright blue ones.
James onthe other hand was done dancing around this topic. He gently cupped her cheek in his hands and closed the distance between them. Despite her surprise, Katie responded, her eyes closing . Her brain had gone haywire, nothing made sense anymore.
Her ears pricked at the sound of the front door closing and that was enough for her to break from her trance. Unfortunately it was proven to be too late because as she opened her eyes and pulled away.
Lance stood at the entrance of the kitchen deathly still, his bright blue eyes which usually sparkled with merriment had a maddeningly dangerous to them. He mouth which was initially opened due to shock twitched into a scowl. He shot a deathly glare towards James but when he turned towards Katie there was hurt evident in his eyes which mercilessly twisted her heart
He slammed the two paperbags containing the groceries onthe table muttering a quick "Excuse me" and then left the kitchen. The 'thud' made by the bags woke Katie from her second shock of the day.
"I am sorry.. but you should go" Katie whispered to the confused James before running after the other boy. "Lance!" she called out to him but he already slammed the door. She impatiently rapped on his door calling his name but no reply. After a minute or so, Katie gave up.
Her legs felt like they were made of jelly. With shaky steps she made her way to the couch, her heart was beating rapidly against her chest but unknown for what occasion. "What the hell is happening?" she whispered clawing her hair in frustration.
The regret was soon followed by anger, she didn't know specifically who the anger was directed to. Firstly it was on herself for letting this situation happen then it was on James for initiating the situation but inthe she found the true culprit.
Lance! How dare he react like that. Her business was none of his concern. She was most definitely not answerable to him and she didn't need to feel guilty for anything! She hadn't done anything wrong. He was no saint himself afterall, if her action was a crime that boy would be serving life in prison without parole.
She bitterly glanced at his closed door, he could live in there for the rest of his life for all she cared. To think they were making progress and she started considering him a close friend and then it all got ruined.
Katie had enough of the day, she slowly walked towards her room and then stubbornly slammed the door shut as well, It brought a little satisfaction to her at such times. Unfortunately the last traces of anger soon disappeared from her body and previous guilt returned. Despite her consolations that it didn't matter what Lance thought, deep in heart she knew it did and the fact he was hurt because of her, made her stomach twist uncomfortably.
Katie tried to view her unconscious actions with a more conscious perspective. Why did she run after him? Was she more concerned with hurting Lance rather than James? The answer was in front of her and as much as she wanted to. She couldn't deny it anymore.
"No no no. This can't be happening" she groaned in her pillow, not him. She couldn't possibly be in love with Lance, is this the price she had to pay for the amazing apartment?
But wait ! Did it mean Lance liked her too?. Katie shook her head in disbelief, it couldn't possibly be true. She was well aware of Lance's type and truthfully speaking she was far from it but his weird behavior would make a lot more sense to her now.
"Uff!" she groaned in frustration, she lay on her bed with her hands crossed against her chest. She needed to talk to Lance and make things clear with him or else her mind wouldn't stop pestering her about it.
Reluctantly she gave up the comfort and security of her bed and padded towards Lance's room. She firmly knocked at his door, her ears straining to hear the sound of approaching footsteps from the otherside.
But there were none, Katie rolled her eyes. She didn't want to play his silly games, "Lance!" she called turning the handle on his door. To her surprise, it opened to a empty room. She stood there puzzled for a second before heading to the kitchen.
There was a new note on the fridge, "Gone out" it simply read. The action she had found endearing a few hours ago now felt heart breaking. Pain clawed at her heart as Katie realized that the situation was more grave than she had anticipated.
Slowly she walked to room, she softly sighed picking up her phone and preparing herself for the long the conversation ahead. "Hey Nadia." she greeted, "Get the girls I need to tell you guys something"
______________________
Lance tried to blink back his exhaustion, it had been two days in a row since he hadn't had a proper night's rest. Ironically the reason behind his lack of sleep for each night had a stark difference between them.
He took another sip of his coffee which didn't taste half as good as the one Pidge had made that night. Lance slightly winced at the memory he was desperately trying to forget still he managed to recall it a hundred times by now each time felt like fresh stab at his heart.
The campus cafe was filled with students, most of them quietly sipping their coffee and working on their respective assignments or preparing for test but there was also small minority of people who were talking to their friends and enjoying the early morning but Lance's attention was caught by a certain couple who had just entered.
Allura and Keith looked at each other in surprise as Lance McClain came stumbling towards them . He had a troubled look on his face, Lance nervously ruffled his hair. "I..need your help" he whispered, hesitantly.
Keith looked at Lance as he had grown another head while Allura being aware of the situation decided to take matters in her own hand. "Let's take a seat and talk" she suggested, directing the two men to a empty table.
Lance explained the previous day's events "What do I do now? " he questioned, helplessness evident in his voice. Allura symphatetically patted his shoulder but Keith onthe other hand was not feeling that emphatic.
"You should do what you should've done a longtime ago. Tell her how you feel! How long had you intended to play the game house with her?" he questioned coldly.
Allura angrily eyed Keith to which he sighed and took a more gentler tone. "Look, Katie isn't forever going to wait for you to ask her out. It was this guy today but tomorrow there will be another one and eventually someone might catch her eye. So just be honest with her and tell her how you feeling!"
Allura nodded encouragingly, "Keith is right. You need to communicate with her rather than assuming everything on your own."

"There he is" Nadia pointed out the familiar burnette. Katie nodded, trying her best to keep a calm composure. She took a deep breath mentally rehearsing the speech Allura and Romelle had made for her.
"You can do this. Good luck " Nadia softly assured, the usual eccentricness was missing from her tone. Katie started walking towards the man in question with steady footsteps but the man was walking much further ahead from her.
She mustered up all her energy, "James!" she called out. The young man stopped almost immediately, he turned around to see her walking towards him with great speed. Surprise was weak word to describe what was written on his face, the man positively looked frozen in shock.
"Uh..Hi" she meekly greeted, as the whole speech flew off from her head. "Hey" he nodded in acknowledgement, there seemed to be a unspoken compeitation between them on who could die of embarrassment the fastest.
Katie sighed, rubbing her arms in comfort, "Look James, I am really sorry for giving you the wrong idea. I really like your company but I don't think of you anything more than a friend"
James gave her a small smile, There was hurt evident in his eyes and Katie felt the lump in her throat rise. She hadn't really ever envisioned herself such a heartbreaker.
"It's alright I kinda figured that. Also I am sorry too.." he shrugged trying to act casual, "For assuming things. I hope I didn't cause any big problem between you and Lance." Katie smiled bitterly looking at the ground, "You don't need to worry. We'll figure things out"
"So I'll see you in class then" she reminded awkwardlyand James nodded, "See you". Katie walked away, feeling partly relieved but now only the easy part had been over. She sighed, the hard part was yet to come.
An hour later Katie found herself seated at the back of the bus. Her mind deep in thought as she stared out of the window, how had everything turned upside down in just a day? Just two days back James was just a friend, Lance was just a friend and now here she was trying to mend her relationship with each of them.
Katie shifted in her seat as the familiar rows of buildings appeared. She wasn't even sure if Lance was going to even talk to her, she had no idea how to deal with him when he was angry which was ironic considering that they spend early months only fighting one another.
Katie yawned, trying her best to keep her eyes open. She had spent the entire night tossing and turning, reconsidering her affections a thousand times for she knew her next decision was very going to be an important one. Unfortunately the mental as well as the physical exhaustion was drowning her strength, she couldn't find the power to convince or reason with Lance at the moment.
The bus finally stopped at her usual stop, Katie along with a few others grabbed her bag and stood up to leave but at the last moment decided against it. She slumped back in her seat, observing the dark clouded sky which was a great representation of the storm that was going inside her. She watched the last passenger get off and then as the bus started again, Katie with her last bit of courage messaged Lance that she was going be home by 10 pm.
Surely this gave them enough time to cool down and let them have a rational conversation. Trying to ignore the knots in her stomach, Katie switched of her phone and instead tried to focus on planning her study schedule. Next stop Olkarain Library.
______________
"Concentrate!" she demanded, feeling annoyed by herself but at the moment it seemed like an impossible feat. Her mind couldn't stop thinking about Lance, she hadn't seen him since last night and although she knew he wasn't that reckless to get himself into trouble her idiotic heart couldn't help but worry. That boy better be home by the time she comes.
Katie sighed casually flipping through her textbook, she really needed to get this done but her mind was already drifting of and the library was so peaceful and quiet. Maybe if she closed her eyes for 5 minutes she would feel more refreshed and probably get something done.
Just 5 minutes, She convinced herself resting her head on the desk and closing her eyes. Just 5 minutes and she will most definitely get back to work......
A few hours later
"Katie" a voiced called out to her lightly shaking her shoulder. Katie finally lifted her head, her eyes still partly closed.
"Lance?" she groggily called out. The owner of the hand chuckled, "Unfortunately no. It's me, Ryner."
This was enough to wake her up completely, "Ryner!" she squeaked, her face flushing with embarrassment.
Ryner nodded with a small knowing smile on her face, "I have to close the library. You should pack up and go home now" she whispered softly. Katie looked around to see the library now dark and empty with the exception of Ryner and her.
She nodded and started slowly packing her things. Ryner nodded with satisfaction "It's very late, Lance must be worried about you." she remarked slyly, making Katie almost drop her precious laptop. Her mentor then thankfully walked away sparing Katie from anymore embarrassment.
Katie hoisted her backpack and finally opened her phone which she guessed had been powered off for a few hours by now. The sky was pitch black, the dark clouds had completed hidden the pale moonlight.
"What!" she exclaimed, checking the time. It was 12 am and she had messaged Lance that she would be home by 10. Hesitantly she opened her call log to see 22 missed calls and 56 messages from Lance. "This can't be happening" she muttered, if Lance was mad at her before she surely didn't want to imagine his reaction now.
But still mustering up her courage, she pressed the call option. "Hi.." She whispered helplessly.
"Katerina Paige Holt, where the hell are you!" Lance replied his voice brimming with anger and worry. She was mildly impressed that he remembered her full name considering he always prefered to call her with that awful nickname but that was something to celebrate another time.
"I'm sorry" she mumbled, there was a pause on the other line. Lance sighed and continued in a more softer tone, "Katie where are you? Do you have any idea how worried I am. It's midnight and you aren't home yet and you aren't picking up your phone. I even called your friends and they said you weren't with them. Is everything alright?"
Katie tried to swallow back the lump which had reappeared in her throat. "I am fine. I am at the Olkarain library that is near your favourite ice-cream shop". There was silence on the other line and Katie held her breath. "Stay there. I am coming to get you" he commanded, ending the call.
As Katie ended her call, a drop of water landed on the top of her head. "Quiznak!" she cursed, as she realized it had started to rain. It was the only thing left to complete this awful day. She moved nearer to the library's entrance whose design provided enough shelter from the rain.
She leaned against the door, going further down her call log praying she hadn't missed any of her mother's calls. "Hunk?" she whispered in surprise, he had called three times in a row around 9 pm. That was weird considering she and Hunk usually talked during the weekends but it must be something important. Doing a quick calculation of time difference in her head, she called her bestfriend.
"Hi Katie, where were you?" Hunk questioned. "I fell asleep while studying" she explained and Hunk chuckled in amusement.
The two friends a minute to catch up on everything before Hunk stated his reason of call, "Mom and Dad were wondering if you two would like to renew your contract. They are really hoping you do. They say they can finally sleep in peace knowing the apartment is safe and not being trashed."
Katie felt rush of gratitude for Hunk's parents trusting them so much even though they had been once very close to breaking that trust. "I would really like to renew it but I am not sure Lance wants to live with me again" she replied, her heart felt it was being squeezed mercilessly.
"Ok someone tell me what is going on between the two of you!" Hunk declared frustrated.
"I talked to Lance a few hours ago and he said the samething as you. I don't get you two, One minute you despise each other and inthe other you are best buds. Just yesterday afternoon Lance was asking me the recipe for the Peanut butter cookies to make for you and now you guys can't live with eachother?!"
Katie's eyes widened and suddenly her started beating rapidly, "Lance was asking what?"
Hunk sighed onthe other end, "He said something about you helping him with some project and that's why he wanted to surprise you with peanut butter cookies"
"He did?" she asked, her voice cracking, as unconscious tears started trailing down her face. "Katie are you alright?" Hunk's questioned startled. Before she could reply, another voice called out to her.
"Pidge! Stay there I am coming!" Lance shouted, getting out his car which he fondly named Blue although it was bright red. He pulled out ridiculously bright yellow umbrella as well and starting walking towards her not caring of the puddles that made his favorite shoes dirty.
Katie watched with a horrified realization, her heart threatened to come out of her chest and all she could think at that time was. This was no ordinary crush, it was something scarily deep. She was in love with Lance McClain.
But the idea didn't seem as terrifying as she once thought. After all the guy was Lance, the funniest person she knew but will never admit, A guy with a heart of gold and oh those blue eyes, she could stare into them forever.
As he finally reached her, Katie couldn't hold on any longer. She was done acting strong, one look of Lance standing there with that stupid bright yellow umbrella was all it took for her to engulf him in a desperate embrace.Despite his initial surprise Lance gladly returned the gesture securely wrapping his free hand around her waist.
"Hey there Pigeon, you really scared me" he softly whispered in her ear sending shivers down her spine.
"Ok I'll just hang up myself. You two continue" Hunk shouted, from the phone scaring the life out of Lance and causing him to drop the umbrella. Despite the moment Katie couldn't help but giggle pulling away from Lance. "Sorry Hunk. I'll talk to you later" she apologized sheepishly.
"You two better give me a decent explanation later or else I am gonna come back and bring Shay's cousins to kick your asses!" he threatened.
"Will do" they chorused ending the call. Lance watched love stricken as Katie clutched her stomach trying to control her laughter. "Hey there" he whispered, clasping her pale hands in his tanned ones and pulled her closer to him.
"I want to apologize for acting up like that" he mumbled and Katie nodded forgivingly.
"Also there is something important you need to know" he murmured, gently touching her cheek. Instinctively she moved closer to him as well.
"Katie, I am in love with you" he whispered feeling terrified by own his words. This was the first time he made such a strong and although she didn't immediately reply, there was something in her eyes that told him that she felt the same.
"I love you so much" he continued kissing her forehead. "You won't believe me if I told you" he softly chuckled, kissing both of her cheeks.
Katie giggled as Lance kissed the top of her nose. Lance nervously glanced at her lips and Katie smiled to herself knowing this was her move to make.
She smiled teasingly at him before finally confessing, "I love you too" she uttered shyly and then standing at the tip of her toes she finally closed the distance between them.
A Few Weeks Later
"Katie, I love your dutch braids" Allura praised. "How are they so perfect. I always end up messing mine" Allura asked.
Katie proudly held up one of them, "Lance braided them. He spent half an hour on YouTube figuring out how to do them perfectly. I tried to stop him but he was stubbornly convinced that they would suit me"
Nadia elbowed Romelle mischeviously, "Look at her. She is so smitten by him to think once they were just roommates."
