#like a fresh pair of eyes yknow

[vero-niche]

the rewatching is happening bc i actually have things to stay about the story and the characters now! first time around i think i couldnt pay attention to smaller details bc the plot is insanely fast paced in some places and i was also multitasking by drawing on the other side of the screen (plus i have further context now having read the manga)

hell yeah!!!!! cant wait for what you have to say <3

"Shark teeth" GN BOT Reader + Jazz, Ratchet, Skywarp, Hound.

Summary: You have shark like teeth!

Genre/theme: Platonic with some sweetness (except Skywarps is antagonistic and rude actually)

Warnings: Violence in Skywarps.

G1 characters: Jazz, Ratchet, Skywarp, Hound

Notes: it's not a mod/you were made that way. Skywarp/you are trying to kill each other a little bit here. Yknow con bonding activities.

Pronouns: You, your, yours, They

Jazz is curious about what in Primus name got you to get that mouth mod of all things. It makes you look like a sharkticon. Well actually no it wasn't that bad. Just optic catching. You didn't have multiple rows like sharkticons, and they weren't as crooked. It was more like you just had really sharp denta for some reason. Jazz likes to tease here and there, and your engine growling at him doesn't exactly dissuade him all that much. Jazz kinda wants to see how your mouth looks all the way open. But it wasn't exactly- appropriate to be asking for that now, was it?

You're drinking high grade with one another, and he asks about your mouth mod. Caller Jazz surprised when you say it's not a mod, and they just made you that way. If you're forged, he's wondering what Primus was thinking when he decided to just give you some big scary mechanimal denta in your root mode for fun. If you're cold constructed, however, Jazz is laughing, and he's laughing hard. Look- Jazz is the last bot who would kink shame anyone. But he's definitely giving you a non judgmental but still very aware stare. "Someone definitely custom made that little feature now, didn't they..." Jazz only laughs harder when you shove his paldron. Whoever was in charge of your construction certainly had a particular... taste.

But Jazz just knocks his paldron against your own, a smile on his faceplate as he eyes your denta. "They do have a certain charm about them? Don't they?" His smile only widens when you give him a look.

-

Ratchets optics cycle, and you're still standing in the medbay with a decent amount of energon spilling down your mouth and on your own throat cables. Ratchet just sighed. "What happened?"

"Bit my' glossia," you mumbled, which only caused a fresh track of energon to spill down your bottom derma. Ratchet curses and grabs something for the energon, and then Ratchet sees your denta- your extremely mod heavy denta. Mod heavy denta that only did so much damage because they were so- Ratchet sighs and massaged his olfactory ridge. Asking how long you'd had this mod. You manage to mumble out its not a mod you've always had them. And Ratchet feels so very, very tired.

If you're forged, then Ratchet can only feel exasperated. Why in pits name did Primus give you sharkticon denta in your root mode? Even if you happen to have a beast alt mode, it would not excuse it because they only tended to have extra pronounced fangs in root mode. You also don't need a full set of tearing denta in root mode.) But you have two entire rows of sharp denta in your root mode for no... discernible purpose, besides being the the way apparently. If your cold constructed however Ratchet is seething mad. This was a particular enough mod that someone would have had to pick this out to give to you. For no other reason than they liked how you'd look with them. Regardless of your own wants or desires. Ratchet offers to swap your denta to a common pair, but you reject him. Which, he gets, even as he's welding your glossia straight. Especially if you've had them since you came online.

"They're very... unique, regardless of the pain in the aft downside of them." Ratchet muttered as he wiped more of your energon off of your throat cables. Which he did mean. They were very... you. And there wasn't anything bad about that now was there.

-

Skywarp is the unlucky bastard who thinks he can take you in a hand to hand sudden beat down. You start verbal, and before you know it, he's warping to jump you, and you're in a full frame scrap with each other. He's almost got it over on you when sharp throbbing pain shoots up his arm. Skywarp does not scream! He does yell insanely loud, though. And he tries to yank his arm free from your whatever hold you have on him and your both rolling over one another on the ground.

Thundercracker grabs you by your frame, and suddenly, Skywarp realizes you have his arm gauntlet in your mouth. "Release him-" You actually listen to Thundercracker, and Skywarp yanks his arm free as soon as the pressures gone. His energon is spilling down his arm and on the floor, and your mouth is covered in it-

"You fragging freak!" Skywarp settles on because- what the frag!? You shoved Thundercracker away from you, and your engine growled at Skywarp. Your denta- your stupid sharkticon denta are barred at him while coated in his energon. Skywarp tries to raise his good arm up to shoot you for it, but Thundercracker is in between you two, and he's shoving Skywarp away. "No- look what they did!" Skywarp is shoving his gauntlet at Thundercracker, but you just huffed and stomped off. "Someone put that Sharkticon menace down, would ya!" Skywarp settles on shouting at your stupid back before turning and stomping off himself.

Skywarp is complaining about what a fragger you are the entire time to Thundercracker is trying to stop the energon spilling out of his arm.

-

Hound isn't too curious, in all honesty. He's definitely seen them, but frankly, half of the autobots all have some sort of mod they either don't talk about or do with enough high grade. And Hounds heard almost what everyone's got going on, so just physically seeing your very sharp denta isn't anything he's too put off about. Well, he is slightly since he actually can't recall a mouth mod quite like yours before. But he's not going to judge you over something as benign as that. Hounds more concerned about the bot themselves. He only learns it's actually not a mod- or at least not one you've chosen at least.

If you're forged, then Hound can only chuckle. Primus really just decided those denta were yours after all. Which- Hound can see. They do fit your faceplate well, all things considered. If your cold constructed however Hounds mildly peeved for you. He won't show it, but he will have a conversation about how your cold construction went if whoever was in charge of it got to choose something like that. Then Hound can only assume it might not be the only mod you've had your entire function.

Hound leans further against the ark wall as he talks. "Well, a mods a mod. You're still you, denta and all, or denta and not. Although..." Hound tilts his helm as he studies your face only to smile.  "Regardless, I do think they frame your smile rather nicely."

what about like. a baker yandere who owns the shop beside florist shop owner reader, yknow? like baker brings pastries to florist and he tries to be casual about it, but he gets sooo flustered because reader is just so sweet and nice and beautiful and wowowowwwww.

and they give him flowers for his shop, to be nice, but to him it’s essentially a marriage proposal……

Yan!Baker HC’s

Yan!Baker x GN! Florist! Reader

Content warning - Yandere themes, obsession, implied murder, nsfw mentions, masochist yan, possessiveness, HE MAKES YOU EAT CUM BREAD, stalking, horny yan, kind of dumb yan

A/N - I realised that I haven’t been doing enough masochist yanderes (in my opinion because I’m not insane.) so I decided to make this reader rude and cold but still somewhat friendly. If you want an alt version where the reader is kind, I will gladly write it if you send a request xoxo

——————————————————————————————————

Yan!Baker who knew it was love at first sight when he saw you angrily slam open the door to the dusty shop next door to his. That place had been empty for years so it was shocking to see someone finally buy it out.

Yan!Baker who hypes himself up in the mirror on his desk before finally marching over to give you a basket of fresh baked goods, all made by his own hand. He stumbles into the door after he decided to try and push the door that was clearly labelled “pull” before sheepishly stepping into your shop.

Yan!Baker whose heart swooned when you glared at him with those terrifying eyes. It made the hairs on his neck stand and his cock throb. You were so hot! He introduced himself shakily and gave you the basket before running off with a hard on.

Yan!Baker who made it a habit to drop by your shop every single day to deliver new pastries. He claimed to have added a special ingredient, yeah, the ingredient was pretty fucking special. It had him sitting alone upstairs jerking himself off into a bowl just to see your face scrunch up as you begrudgingly complimented the taste of the new bread he’d made.

Yan!Baker who, when he wasn’t delivering you homemade baskets, was watching you from his upstairs bedroom with a pair of binoculars held in one hand while the other was used to fist his dick. God you looked so good when you were tending to those flowers.

Yan!Baker who tripped on his own feet and slammed into his counter when you had given him a tiny pot plant for decoration. You are giving this to him? Willingly? Is this love? Do you love him? You want him, don’t you?

Yan!Baker who becomes so much more obsessive, any person who dares flirt with you is gifted to you as fertiliser asap. You’re his, you gave him that little plant to show your growing love. You knew everything, didn’t you? You knew he watched you in the shower, didn’t you? That’s why you ran your hands down your body like that. You’re so sly!

Yan!Baker who will do anything for you. He would sell his whole family business if you some much as asked. Glare at him, you look better that way. Roll your eyes and degrade him, only makes him love you more. You call him creepy? Nonsense baby, you must be thinking of someone else! He’s looking out for you. And looking at you. Always looking at you. Only you.

Cheesy valentine surprise Idea for Yelena?

Basically that high school surprise with all the 'supportive friends' holding balloons and placards with 'will you be my valentine date?' but the guys are holding off and try not to laugh as they see the confused look on R's face because what she see instead is 'can I share my mac and cheese with you'? And Yelena is holding a ready to cook mac and cheese box instead of chocolates and bouquet 😭 (Because yknow she loves mac and cheese and R is the second thing she likes so maybe she wanted to be cute and quirky with asking R for a date' 😉😉😜)

Welp. This is a silly Idea from me I guess. I hope you liked this lolol.

Very Cheesy, Yelena

Pairing: Yelena Belova x GN! Reader

Summary: Yelena gets creative and asks you to be her valentine.

Fluff 

Warnings: None, if I missed any, please let me know! | 1.1K

AC: Thank you for sending this! I LOVED this idea so much!!! I hope you enjoy! x

Cupid’s Dream Masterlist 2025

Yelena had been planning this for weeks, with the help of some friends, of course! Kate, Nat, Wanda, Peter and MJ were her little team for her little project. She’d been crushing on you for months, waiting for the perfect time to ask you. She wanted to do something special and fun, something that you would never see coming.

As she made sure everything was ready, you sat at your desk, going on mission reports. Typing away at your laptop, you weren’t bothered by the whispering chatter outside your bedroom door. Your mind focused on typing up the events that took place on your last mission. A soft knock caught your attention as you looked over your shoulder, “come in” you said kindly. A nervous Yelena opened the door, she smiled softly at you. 

“Mission reports?” She asked. 

“Yep” you lightly sighed, “got a few backed up” you added.

“Maybe you should take a break” Yelena suggested, her Russian accent still as thick as the day you met her. “Get some fresh air, have a snack” she added.

You took a moment to think about it, remembering that you were in fact starting to feel hungry and that you had been at your desk for a few hours. “You’re right” You smiled softly. “I need a small break”.

Yelena smiled, trying her best to hide her nerves that mixed with her excitement as you spun around on your chair. “Did you need something?” You asked. The blonde shook her head, “no, just wanted to see what you were doing” she said. You slightly squinted your eyes, “right, you’re being weird again” you replied. 

“Weird? How so?” Yelena asked with a raised brow. 

“I can’t put my finger on it, you’ve just been, weird lately” you chuckled, leaning back in your chair. “More jittery than usual. Oh! And you keep staring at me” you added. 

Yelena’s heart skipped a beat, “I do not stare!” She protested, her voice a little too high-pitched. You chuckled again, “Okay, okay, you don’t stare. You just observe, intently”.

Yelena took a deep breath, noticing her change in heart rate, “nothing is up, I simply enjoy your presence and like to make sure you are looking after yourself” she stated, trying to sound casual. 

“You’re a great friend, Lena, thank you” you smiled softly, pushing yourself off up from your chair. 

“Okay, there might be something but close your eyes” Yelena instructed. 

“Close my eyes?” You asked with a hint of curiosity in your eyes.

“Just trust me” Yelena pleaded, “it’s nothing bad” she added.

You hesitated for a moment, studying her face but saw nothing to give you any hint of her intentions, you shrugged and smiled softly as you closed your eyes. “Alright, I’m trusting you Belova! This better not involve spiders or anything wild!” 

Yelena chuckled, “no spiders, I promise.” She gently took your hand, leading you outside, softly telling you if any steps in your path were. You squeezed her hand, making her smile softly as she opened the door. “Okay, don’t open them until I saw, I mean it” she said softly but playfully stern. 

She looked to those in front of her, holding a sign each. Nat rolled her eyes with a shake of her head while the others were just as excited to see your reaction as Yelena was. The blonde took a few steps away from you, standing slightly beside Kate who held the first sign.

“Yelena, what are you doing? Why are we outside?” You asked, curious to what was happening.

“Okay, you can open your eyes” she said, her voice slightly trembling. 

You slowly opened them, gasping as your eyes adjusted to the natural light, reading the big bold letters in front of you. Kate smiled widely, Peter standing next to her, then MJ then Nat who couldn’t believe just how cheesy her sister was. Each one of them held a large sign, Kate’s read “Can I”, Peter’s read “Share”, MJ’s read “My Mac &” and Natasha’s with a hint of amusement on her face finished the sentence with “Cheese with You?”. 

Yelena stepped forward, holding a box of Kraft’s famous Mac & Cheese like a trophy. “So” she said, her thick accent clear, “can I share my mac and cheese with you? And don’t worry, you don’t have to have hot sauce on it if you don’t want too!”.

You were speechless, reading the signs once more. Peter’s muffled cough broke the thick layer of silence in the air as Yelena held her breath, her entire being focused on your reaction. You turned to Yelena, “are you serious?” You asked, your voice barely above a whisper. 

Yelena nodded, her heart pounding in her chest, “very, very serious”

“Yeah! Yelena doesn’t just share her mac n cheese with anybody!” Kate inserted, “ask Peter!” She added. 

“I’d rather not talk about that” Peter replied.

You stepped forward, closing the distance between you and Yelena, a soft smile on your lips. “You know how cheesy this is, right? Even for you” you asked, looking into her green eyes. She nodded, “you like cheesy though, from all those movies you watch” she replied, a hint of doubt in her voice, still waiting for your answer. 

“Oh, so you have been a little weird recently?” You chuckled, “I’d love to share you mac n cheese with you” you added with a smile. Yelena let out a shaky breath, a wave of relief washing over her as she heard the words come out of your lips.

“You know, this has got to be the weirdest, yet most sweetest thing anybody has ever done for me” you murmured. 

Yelena chuckled, “I wanted to make sure you wouldn’t see it coming, hence why I got some help”. 

“Ha!” Natasha looked over to her sister, “you owe me 20 bucks” she said. 

“Wait, you’re getting paid?” Kate looked to Natasha with a light frown. 

Yelena turned her back to Kate, “we should probably go now” she said looking at you, making you laugh as Kate argued. “You got the hot sauce?” You asked. Yelena nodded, “of course, it’s the best part” she replied. 

“Yelena! Don’t you walk away!! We want money too!” Kate called as you and Yelena wandered back inside, her calls soon becoming muffled as you and Yelena entered the kitchen. “You know Kate is going to hold you to that 20 bucks, right?” You chuckled. 

“Probably. But I’m busy now” she replied, ripping open the boxed mac and cheese, “take a seat, I’m going to give the entire mac n cheese experience” she added.

You smiled softly, taking a seat at the counter, watching as Yelena moved around the kitchen making her favorite dish. “This definitely was a surprise valentines, you did great Yelena” you smiled once more. 

“I know” she replied proudly.

Hey again pookie bear. I know we both saw that gif of the pajama pants with Lee 👀 Can you write something about cuddling with him in said pants and maybe doing a little more in said pants, yknow what i mean? I'm giving you creative freedom I just want the pants fic LMAO

Love you my pookie bookie boo bear

HELL YES! He is too fucking fine in those pajama pants dammit! I’d do anything for you, I love you too pookie wookie 😘

Lee Russell x Reader

You sat on the couch in the living room. Mindlessly staring at your phone, scrolling through posts of people you had not seen or spoke to in a long time.

Lee was in the other room. Fresh out of shower. Getting into his pajamas.

Eyes shooting up when Lee entered the room. Tenderly smiling at him. Unable to deny the certain part of him that caught your eye as he strutted into the room. Outline of his cock apparent in the loose fitted pajama pants. You watched as it swayed with each step he took. Arousal pooling deep down inside you.

Lee sat beside you on the couch, planting a soft kiss to your cheek. Noting the way your eyes scanned up and down his body. He sat back, spreading his legs and giving you a better view of him. His arm wrapping around and pulling you against his shoulder. You fell into his grasp, nestling your head in the crook of his neck. The aroma of fresh soap strong on his skin. The sweet musk of his shampoo faint.

“You smell so good,” you cooed. “Thank you, dear. I’ve always gotta be good for my lady,” Lee smiled at you. He clicked on some random channel on the TV, not that you could pay attention. You were too fixated on how perfectly his cock was outlined in his pants. How he sat perfectly perched it so you could see his soft member. You blushed fantasizing about taking him in your mouth.

You placed your hand on his thigh. Fingers spreading across the smooth fabric. You kissed his cheek as your hand traveled further up to his groin. Lee eyes watched as your hand journeyed up, smiling at your desperate fingers toying around the base of his clothed cock. He readjusted his hips, pushing himself further into your grasp.

“See something you like, sweetheart,” southern drawl dripped off his hush voice.

Heat rose to your cheeks, your eyes unable to move away from the growing erection. His hard cock pitched a tent in his pajama pants showing you just how big he really was. Your hand found itself wrapped around his member through his pajama pants. Lee huffed a satisfied breath feeling your hand begin to stroke him.

Lee turned to capture your lips in a kiss, sloppily exploring your mouth with his tongue. Grunts and moans fell from him as you picked up speed. “Fuck, Y/N…” Lee praised you breathlessly.

Free hand finding his balls, fondling them. Shaky air fell from Lee’s lips at the sensation, rolling his hips into you. A small dark spot began forming where the tip of his cock pressed against the pants, precum leaking from it.

You smiled while watching Lee scrunch his face up in satisfaction, completely lost in the feeling of your hand stroking him. His hand gripped your breast, massaging it through your shirt. Pinching at your nipple as it hardened. You kissed at Lee’s neck, his head falling back in ecstasy.

Lee began thrusting up into your grasp. Moaning desperately for you. “Goddammit… I’m— fuck—“ he was a complete mess in your grasp.

The fabric in your hand grew wet. Lee’s chest heaved as he came. You continued stroking him through his high, feeling the heat of his cum as it soaked against your hand. He leaned forward, dark hazel eyes catching yours. His cheeks flushed as a smile painted his face.

“Sure did make a mess,” Lee stared down at his groin, a chuckle paired with his heavy breathing. He had completely ruined his pajama pants. You smiled at him, kissing him.

“You’re too good to me,” Lee chuckled as he stood up. You blew a kiss at him, “I’m always here to please you, Mr. Russell.”

“Don’t worry,” Lee began removing his pants as he walked making sure you got a good view of his semi-hard cock, “I’ll make sure and pay you back for it.”

hi birds of paradise and of prey! I sincerely hope your 2024 has been kind to you so far, and if it hasn't, I hope it starts being fucking nicer soon. We got eyes on it and are ready to take it out should it fail.

I'm coming to the end of my list here soon, so if anyone has ideas on what they'd like to see next, please do hit me up! Even if its just a piece of media with interesting food in it and not a specific dish you wanna see. My roommate got me a recipe book from that TikTok fantasy tavern guy, "recipes from the lucky gryphon"? So we could also take a shot at a few of those, although im not really familiar with his work. Regardless-

We will be making Stuffed Cabbage from Lord of the Rings Online today!

(As always you can find the cooking instructions and full ingredient list under the break-)

MY NAMES CROSS NOW LETS COOK LIKE ANIMALS

SO, “what goes in to this Stuffed Cabbage?” YOU MIGHT ASKYou cant kinda put whatever you want for seasonings and even the meat filling. I used ground beef but pork and lamb are also stellar candidates.

Yellow onion

Garlic

2 eggs

Ground beef

Rice

A head of cabbage

Oregano

Thyme

Red pepper flakes

Cumin

Crushed tomato

Tomato sauce

AND, “what does this Stuffed Cabbage taste like?” YOU MIGHT ASKBa bawsa

Very, very filling wow

2 rolls filled me up for a meal and i made about 20-ish from one head of cabage

A bit plain tbh, the texture is great but I'd really double up on the seasonings

A blank canvas for you to impart your spice preferences onto

Reheating makes it taste almost identical to fresh

Would pair well with a hot sauce dip

could also go well with an artichoke dip

If you run out of room and need to layer the rolls, I'd try experimenting with pouring some of the crushed tomato and sauce inbetween the stacked rolls. Otherwise the ones at the bottom lack a lot of the tomato flavor. However it might make the bottoms on the rolls laying ontop soggy?

. Where rice called for, used long grain white rice

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've never blanched anything before. Theres not much western food that calls for it, meanwhile whenever my friend from malaysia shows a dish they ate, 9 times out of 10 the vegetables are blanched. Much easier process than the fancy name might suggest- boil water and dunk the thing in until its done. Whatever 'done' may be for the thing you are cooking.

Also for the ground beef (or whichever meat you use) you don't have to cook it beforehand, but in doing two tries at making these cabbage rolls i would recommend you at least season your meat before mixing it with everything else. The meat will cook to a safe temperature inside the cabbage rolls, i just prefer the taste and texture of it when cooked twice.

I give this recipe a meandering 7/10 (with 1 being food that makes one physically sick and 10 being food that gives one a lust for life again.) I want to review more horrible recipes, truly i do, so that the rating scale isnt always a 6 and above, but whenever i try something horrible its like "why the fuck would i put all the effort into making and sharing a review of this thing i Do Not Want others to eat????" yknow?? Would people be interested in roasting horrible recipes? 

🐁 ORIGINAL RESIPPY TEXT BELOW 🐁

Ingredients:

1 yellow onion

6 cloves of garlic

2 eggs

2 lbs ground beef

1 1/2 cup cooked rice

1 large head of cabbage

28oz crushed tomato

14oz tomato sauce

Oregano

Thyme

Red pepper flakes

Cumin

Salt/pepper

Method:

Saute garlic and onion in butter over medium heat until onions are caramelized. When done, remove from heat and let cool.

Season the beef to your liking with cumin, red pepper, and salt. Very, very lightly cook the beef in the same pan used for the garlic and onions. Cook until it starts to brown, but dont let it darken. 

Beat eggs thoroughly with oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Add all of the above ingredients together in a bowl with (cooked!) rice. Mix thoroughly then cover and let rest in the fridge.

Core and blanche your cabbage in boiling water, peeling them off as they become limp.

Once you've separated all the leaves, cut off any thick stems that would prevent the leaf from folding.

Put roughly 2 tablespoons of meat filling into each leaf. Fold the sides of the leaf inwards and roll it up. Place each cabbage roll seam-down into a casserole dish.

If they don't all fit in one layer, its more than okay to stack. Try not to stack more than 2 layers though.

Once you've used all the cabbage, take your can of tomatos and pour them over the rolls. Mix some oregano into the tomato sauce and pour that over the rolls as well.

Bake uncovered in the oven at 350 for about 2 hours. Dont worry if a bit of tomato on top looks burnt.

IF REHEATING LEFTOVERS: Bake 10 cabbage rolls in the oven at 320 for about 40 minutes. Reduce time for less rolls.

Nico Di Angelo x Son of the fates ♾️

Pairing(s): Nico Di Angelo x Male! Reader

The request was one of the specific fates but I feel like my hcs could be applicable to any

Definitely an interesting dynamic

When you’re first introduced to each other there isn’t much interest but then he hears your godly parent

I’d imagine that there would be a ton of thoughts going through his head but one especially comes to mind

That would be Bianca

Sure, he’s learned to accept what happened but the pain and need for her still exists- even if it’s a bit different

You two were introduced in a group, probably while things were being discussed in the big house between cabins

Either way you peak his interest and his eyes follow you wherever you go

Unbeknownst to him, you’re aware of this-

Not many people know but you’re able to see glimpses of the future and especially in visions

And lesser known? You’re even able to manipulate the fates of people

With some limits of course but it’s still all the same

So when Nico approaches you it’s probably in the middle of the night and asks you a single question

“Could Bianca have met a different fate”?

It’s shocking to say the least

The person whose so closed off and secretive comes to a complete stranger and asks a question that no one would’ve expected

You can’t say u don’t know what he’s talking about, you know of Bianca

I mean who doesn’t remember her? Maybe some newer campers but you’re especially familiar

So, with the options of letting Nico be torn apart by harpy’s from finding him out after curfew or letting him in, you chose the latter

You let him in and let him know it’s a bit difficult to see the possible alternate futures without the person directly there- but someone close to her would do

So you do what you need and see into her possible futures- albeit a bit difficult as her thread was cut many years ago

Well in the end you have to break the terrible news of the fact there was no way around it- unless someone else died in her place but even that was close to impossible of happening

He left with a small thanks and you knew he was gone once the crickets started chirping again

The next morning you see him around again- maybe even more

It was hard to say how it happened but before no time you two were like this 🤞

That’s to say- close)

It was before sunrise and the two of you were just chilling in the morning freshness near the lake

Usually Nico despised the morning- but he’d be up before 12 p.m today, just for you

You two sat there going about your usual teasing and sarcastically dark humored comments when he turns to you and blurts out

“I like you”

Your head obviously whipped from the rising sun to him just to see him facing the other way

Knowing him, he was probably flushed and even more? Scared of ruining your friendship

Maybe he was braver than you thought because he turns back to you and asks “did you see that?”

Obviously referencing your ability to see the future

The whole situation was just funny, maybe there was something wrong with you but maybe not since Nico was laughing too

Of course you two actually discuss things and soon after you were proud to announce your new relationship

Things weren’t all that different- Nico was still your best friend but even better, your boyfriend

You two would usually go on quests and stuff together

I mean it’d mean the possible end for anyone who dared to separate you two

Your future sight could confirm that

Well anyway,

Things remained the same, demigods you cared for died and life happened

Normal things for any demigod to go through but there’s a memory that especially stuck out

That one being when Nico had discovered your ability to change fate

It was not something to be expected of a demigod- especially a power as strong as this

Of course there’s some limits- you’re not exactly a god but it’s whatever

Yknow, because of the limits (rarely being able to use it unless in dire need)

when Nico ran out of juice and tired out, a monster or whatever it was that you guys were battling got him trapped and fear overtook you all at once

You don’t exactly remember how it happened but all you know is that it just did

And while the monster was originally fated to die and Nico was to be direly hurt- you changed it so it’d die from complications and Nico would be alright

What happened wasn’t really discussed until after the quest and until after you reached Nicos cabin

No one else (Hazel) was staying over so might as well join him in a nice cuddle sesh

The silence stretched for ages and everything must come to an end, so obviously that silence did

Nico spoke up in a way you could tell he was hyper aware of his wording and tone

“What…what was that power? I was clearly going to get hurt in the end”

He continued “and you blacked out, you don’t have to explain but if anything I’m just worried”

He tried being non chalant about it but his worry was prominent

“I’m able to change the fate of people- but only when in dire need and when I’m especially scared!” You arose and faced Nico panicked, trying to make sure he didn’t get the wrong idea.

Especially since you know how he resented Percy for not doing anything about she that shall not be named)

Nico sighed, sensing how you feel “I hope you didn’t hold that information thinking I’d be upset you didn’t change her fate- it hurts,it does and we both know it’s a sore topic but I’ve matured past blaming people”

You were surprised he directly brought up the elephant in the room but it didn’t end there

“I’m also sorry that I made you feel like you couldn’t talk about something about yourself.” He looked at you with a calm smile and his eyes softened “I love everything about you, so I wouldn’t blame you for anything that has nothing to do with you, even if something could’ve been changed.”

His whole speech was so heartfelt and the night ended with the tension eased and the two of you guys snuggled tightly with each other.

There’s of course some sweet moments between the two of you

It definitely makes for an interesting dynamic when you confess that you knew you’d end up with Nico and when he asks how or why or whatever

You simply reply that your strings are intertwined with one another

This definitely makes Nico more flustered than he’d like to admit

Even if you two never discuss this again he’s always thinking about

And thinking about how you and him are basically soulmates always reassures him when and if he ever feels insecure of your relationship

Not to mention how it’s got him giggling in secret but let’s not discuss that

Of course he doesn’t know if you’re being honest but it makes him feel warm and fuzzy all the same (it is true, I confirm)

Eventually you explore your abilities more but you end up wherever fate leads you(get it?😉) cringe ik 😔

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

The rain was beating steadily along the roof of his van as he sat in the parking lot waiting, and waiting, and…waiting.

The boy leaned back in his seat as he watched the raindrops hit the windshield and slide down as if they were racing each other. His favorites were the ones that end up being swallowed by even bigger drops. A yawn escaped his lips and he felt himself being pulled further and further into the siren call of slumber.

He was here early, but he didn't mind waiting. He never did - not for you. He'd finished work and you were almost done with your last class of the day. You insisted you could take the bus to and from the college campus, but he wasn't about to make his girl do that. Not while he was alive and breathing. You called him ridiculous, he insisted he was a romantic. 

He rolled the window down just a crack for a welcome breeze of the fresh, rainy air. It freshened the otherwise stale air in the van and caused him to inhale deeply to fill his lungs. He breathed out slowly, closing his eyes as he listened to all the sounds around him. He was a musician through and through, always listening and observing the steady rhythm of life. 

At some point, he drifted off and he couldn’t remember if he’d been asleep for five minutes or half an hour. He heard the sounds of others around him, talking and laughing as they left campus. Everyone was ready for the weekend, even the air had a different charge around it. 

Just as he opened his big brown eyes, he found you bouncing up to the van, a carefree look on your face. His plush lips tugged down in a small frown for just a moment when he realized you weren’t wearing your jacket (you’d forgotten it at home) nor using an umbrella (you’d lost yours last winter and never replaced it). But the frown quickly evaporated when he realized just how happy you were. Everything within himself softened and butterflies exploded in his belly when he remembered that look was just for him. You loved him. 

He was unable to stop himself from opening the door and jumping out of the van to meet you. Almost skidding to a stop in front of you, he wasted no time in taking your face in his large hands and kissing you delicately. It wouldn’t have been a better moment even if it was written into one of the cheesy romantic comedies you liked so much. He liked them too, even if he was more reluctant to admit that.

“Eddie,” an ethereal smile and bright eyes met his as you looked at him with reverence, “you’re going to get wet!” 

Your voice sounded even more soft over the sound of the rain, “too late for that.”

“Silly boy,” you shook your head, all affection and awe before taking his hand and leading him back to the van, “c’mon!”

The two of you quickly threw open the doors and hopped inside, shutting out the blowing breeze. You looked over at him, laughing lightly when you noticed how wild his curls were from the rain and wind. His cheeks were pink and he looked at himself in the mirror, huffing as he tried to smooth the unruly locks. Reaching over and taking his hand, you stopped him, shaking your head. 

A comfortable silence fell over the two as he turned on the van and set the heater to your preferred setting. He felt your eyes watching his every move intently, “what’s wrong, baby?”

“Nothing,” a whispered promise, “jus’ like watching you is all. You’re so handsome.”

“Stop,” the pink flush turned darker, a crimson that brought out his freckles and made him that much more precious, “you’re teasin’ me.”

“I am not,” you insisted firmly, “I would never lie to you, my love….”

“But…”

“However,” you grinned at him, finding it amusing that it was always so easy for him to read you, “I was wondering if you’d do me a favor.”

“When is the last time I’ve said no to you?” he raised an eyebrow, the answer to his question already so obvious to both of you. You shrugged innocently, sweetness all over your face - never, “exactly. What can I do for you?”

“Can we go to our spot?” your voice dropped to a whisper, almost as if you were exchanging some sort of secret - you supposed in some ways you were. No one besides your souls knew the location of your spot. Tingles traveled up Eddie’s spine as memories of the last time you’d gone there took over. You’d laid in the back of his van, wrapped in warm fluffy blankets and each other and had made love. It had been a perfect afternoon. When he first remained silent, you grew worried, “we don’t have to…it was just an idea. I-”

“It’s a perfect idea,” he leaned over so he was in your space and kissed you softly. You found yourself leaning into him as well, searching for the sweet taste of his honeyed lips. All lovely and warm and delicious and all yours, “let’s go.”

“Yay!” the smile on your face was enough to make him do anything. He would have gone to the ends of the earth for you, but you would have done the same for him. He knew that as well, “you’re the best.”

“That’s you, sweetheart,” a gentle brush of knuckles across your cheek, “that’s you.”

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

The spot in question was one you’d discovered entirely by accident on a walk with Eddie ages ago. You were sure you had gotten lost, but Eddie promised it was just another adventure. He hadn’t been wrong - you’d come across a clearing that had been, for all intent and purposes, had been abandoned and untouched by human hands for some time. Wildflowers bloomed and blossomed everywhere, bees and birds and other creatures had made it home. 

You enjoyed going to the secluded spot for some peace and tranquility and tried your best to leave things as untouched as possible. You wanted to be welcome there, but didn’t want to overstay your welcome. 

Eddie puttered the van to the edge of the clearing, getting close but not to encroaching. Bursting out of the passenger door, you held out your arms and embraced the spring drizzle. He shook his head in amusement as he went to the back of the van and pulled the doors open, making quick work of spreading out the blankets and pillows. 

“Come on, crazy girl,” he held out his hand to you, wiggling his fingers to beckon you to him. You eagerly obliged and bounced over, using his hand as leverage to climb into the back, “there we go. Better?”

“Perfect,” you immediately snuggled up into your favorite pillow - the one that always managed to smell like him -  and motioned for him to join, “couldn’t think of anything better. Except…you joining me.”

“I’m coming,” he playfully huffed before jumping in and getting comfortable next to you. He huddled up his body as close to yours as humanly possible, turning so he could face you. He put his arm over your middle, fingers lazily tracing shapes into your back. A contented sigh escaped your pillows as you studied the honey boy lying next to you, “what’cha thinking about?”

“There are almost no thoughts in this head,” you huffed in amusement and Eddie grinned - it really had been a long week - and you were glad to share this moment with Eddie, “but the few thoughts I do have are all about you. About how much I enjoy this, just being in the moment here with you.”

“I like this too,” he whispered, gentle words as they ghosted over your skin, “just being with you.”

You made a small sound of agreement as you tried - and failed - to stifle a soft yawn. The sound of the rain falling outside was soothing and comforting along with the fresh smell it set off. Eddie’s eyes were closely watching, making you feel both shy and confident at the same time. He brought his hand to your face, his calloused fingertips contrasting with your smooth skin. He mapped out every bit of your features, from your slightly chapped lips to the tip of your nose, along the curve of your jaw, and along your cheekbones. Committing each bit to memory, savoring this quiet moment. 

Your eyes fluttered close and he peppered kisses all over your face. His touch was gentle, reverent even, serving to make your heart full to bursting. A small gasp escaped your lips as you felt him trail kisses down your neck. You arched into his touch, his lips forming a small against your skin. 

“Eddie,” his name was a breathy whisper and he hummed against your skin. There was something special about the way he took his time to learn you. He’d studied you probably hundreds of times by now, but every time was different. He learned something new each time. You felt his teeth graze ever so lightly over the tender skin, leaving just enough of  a mark to be noticeable if one was looking, but not enough to be crude. 

“You’re so soft,” you weren’t sure if he intended for you to hear him, “so perfect and soft.”

Unable to control yourself, you opened your eyes and put a finger under his chin to turn his face up to yours, “so are you.” 

“Yeah?” a spark of curiosity was in his eyes as they searched yours. 

“Yeah,” a soft whisper of a promise as you took the opportunity to kiss him. His breathing hitched as he let you take control, as you mapped out all of his freckles and marks with the featherlight touch of your lips, “I love you.”

The boy stiffened for a moment, heart beating wildly in his chest, and a hundred thoughts all at once entering his mind. The two of you had excited so three words, sacred and reserved for just the right time, and never thrown around lightly. 

He felt like putty in your touch, completely yours and at your mercy. Luckily you had a kind heart and were always giving, giving, and giving. You never made him feel anything but loved and wanted. Including now - the way you were looking at him made it appear as though you were looking at the best thing in the universe. To you, you were. 

You leaned in so your nose brushed against his, mouths hesitant but exchanging sweet breaths. When you couldn’t take it anymore, needing to feel him and touch him, your lips met his. You’d kissed him so often by now that it didn’t even take any thought, it was all so natural. A dance you’d practiced and perfected over time, still just as magical now as it was then. 

Some of his confidence came back and he took over, holding onto you fiercely and protectively. His large hand cupped your cheek and he paused for just a moment, grounding himself in the moment, the sound of rain, and your warmth all around him, “I love you too.”

The smile on your face was megawatt and magical, making him believe that true love was real and it was staring right back at him. You were the stuff of dreams, unable to be properly conveyed into words, and all he knew was that he loved you, deeply and desperately. 

“C’mere,” you murmured against his lips, pulling him close and letting his warmth envelope you in every single way. He understood what you were conveying and made sure you were covered with the blanket and his body, “feels perfect.”

“It does,” his chin was on top of your head as you smushed your face against his chest listening to the steady thump, thump, thump of his heart. 

“Can we stay like this for a while?” you wanted nothing more than to be in this moment forever, but even just for a few hours this would be your own personal heaven. 

“Yes,” and who was he to deny you what he wanted just as much? The small sound of delight you made was the sweetest music he could have ever dreamed up, “yes.”

And it was just like heaven. 

[ghostsbaby]

Okay but I’ve had this idea stuck in my mind for the past few days.

Reader and price been fucking on the downlow for a long ass time. whole nine yards right?

One day soap or someone idk who brings his fiancé to meet his team at like a party or some shit.

Its reader and they been together for years.

Price immediately knows its the same chick he be sleeping with on the regs

He would definitely make sly comments all night until he takes her aside and basically is hella mean while fucking her, calls her names, brings up her partner yknow the works of daddy price and sends her back to whoever it is filled with his cum and deffo took her panties even tho she’d still come crawling back to him if he didnt

I hope you like it 🙈🙈🙈🖤🖤🖤

pairings - captain john price x female reader & a hint of soap

word count - i will update on my comp

warnings - smut, unprotected piv, name calling, spanking, daddy kink, age gap probably cause i have issues

His eyes fell on you the moment Soap announced he brought a special guest. His breath getting stuck in his throat from the surprise he had seeing you with his sergeant and a rock on your finger.

Your pretty eyes didn't meet his until he downed the newly poured whiskey in his glass. Anger filling his body as the liquid coats his throat, not leaving a burn as bad as this one was.

Memories of you undressing for him cloud his mind before his eyes snap down to Soap’s hand gripping your waist, trailing down back to your ass. His ass.

The same ass he fucks, touches, kisses, slaps. His.

The glass in his hand could have shattered with how hard his grip was, setting it down to pour another straight. He watched as everyone stormed towards you and his sergeant. The same one who would brag to 141 about you. If only he knew who the lad was talking about back then, he wouldn’t have had the same reaction as before.

Never would have told him to marry you.

Gaz patted his shoulder, making the captain look away from you for a quick pause, mind not being able to forget how truly beautiful you are.

“She seems great for him. Really sweet, definitely his type now that I see her. No wonder he was hiding her.”

Price only made a sound, grunting before his tongue slipped as his fist closed.

“Seems like a whore from what I see.”

Eyes fixated on you he took another swig, setting it down on the table to make his exit outside for a cigar before Gaz could defend. Your stomach twisted in knots as you watched from the arms of your fiancé.

Saying a few words to the faces interested in knowing your name, you excused yourself to the bathroom. Your feet carried you down the hall and out the back door to fresh air instead, nose coming in contact with the smell of the man you knew secretly.

"My sargeant?"

John wasted no time, voice ringing through you, his chest making contact with your back the moment he threw his cigar on the ground.

"Your sargeant? like I'm supposed to know you-"

He cut you off, body against the wall of the building before you could finish the pathetic excuse to as why you weren't the one attached to his arm when he walked in.

"Who am I?"

He growled, undoing his belt, unzipping the zipper of his pants behind you before he stopped, waiting for you to answer.

"J-Joh-"

"Who am I?" voice louder in your ear, hiking your short dress off your thighs and over your ass, panties being pulled down to your ankles.

"Daddy!"

You whimpered, feeling the tip of his hard cock being lined up, budding at your entrance. John didn’t like waiting when it came to you, he was never good at that.

"That's right, I’m daddy. And daddy’s fucking angry.”

Price’s hand makes hard contact with your ass. His ass. The one he’s finally touching again. Marking you as in mine.

“And that fiancé of yours, works for your daddy.” His lips press against your neck, nose inhaling your sweet scent of perfume and clean hair. Cock pushing in the same time his hand sneaks over your mouth.

He hears you cry for him, muffled and desperate, sliding his thick cock out once to hear silence, before slamming back inside your tight pussy and listening to you sing to him, legs wanting to cross.

Price isn’t sweet or tender, no he’s fucking your hole until it’s sore and puffy, cum leaking down your thighs the rest of the night while you walk funny. Avoiding his intense stare as you hang onto Soap for help, hoping he won’t notice the change, or the marks and bruises his captain left.

“Make you go back in there full of my cum like a whore. Is that all you’re good for? Not satisfied with just one cock?”

He said through gritted teeth, each thrust seemingly harder than the last. Wanting you to remember this one, out of all of the times you’ve spent with the captain behind closed doors, he wanted this time to really leave a mark.

“Gonna make your rounds and fuck Ghost next behind his back? Should I say mine too.”

For a moment you could hear his voice get soft, hurt even. He now understood why you never wanted to go out anywhere. But the pace of his cock told you he was fucking out of anger, even if he sounded like it.

You stayed silent outside of the whimpers and moans he drew out of you.His cock stretched you better than Soaps. Far more wide, almost beating him in length when he pushed all the way in, balls slapping your skin.

He knew you can’t last long, with how hard he’s fucking into your already spent cunt, there was no way you could last even a fucking minute. So cock drunk on the way he holds you up, gripping your body tightly with his strong hands.

His grunts get increasingly louder, knowing he won’t be able to last as long either with the way your pussy wraps so tightly around his cock like a Christmas present. But he’s not letting you cum.

“I hope you fucking try them, Princess. Hope you feel the disappointment of their cocks as they try and fill you the way Daddy does.”

John says harsh, grunting before he bites on your earlobe.

“Hope you feel the same disappointment I felt when you walked in the room. On his fucking arm.”

His thrusts became heavy, cumming inside your pulsing cunt with hard slaps from his hips, making sure to milk every drop with how tight you felt around him.

Hearing exactly how he made you feel as your whines filled his ears, making his cock still stand as he pulled out, cum still leaking from the tip of his cock. John set your dress back down, holding you still against the wall. Your panties ending up in his pocket.

“You’re mine, doll. Not his, not even with that stupid ring on your finger.”

[lizard-queen-izzy]

Ok, until I finish my refs/design timelines, I'm just describing how the tma characters look in my head. Today's post is Jon. I'm only through s3 so it'll only go up to that.

Jon-

Pre-institute: longer short hair, yknow. Like past his chin but not past his shoulders, almost always pulled back somehow. Already light graying mostly at the front. Dark jeans, boots and loose shirts. He has a comfort hoodie and cardigan and he's always in one or the other. Always losing his glasses despite carrying backups.

Research Era: chopped his hair, still shaggy-ish on top, but cut close on the bottom. It still hangs in his eyes sometimes. Dark jeans or dark slacks. he has a pair of dark brown slide-on sneakers until he gets proper shoes. Either a nice fitting solid colour t-shirt or button up with his hoodie/cardigan. [He eventually buys a proper coat too] looses his glasses less, but also invests in a chain for them.

S1: hair chopped even shorter, trying to look professional. Glasses with the chain. Wearing button ups, a vest and a blazer. Dark slacks only and his fancy little shoes. Trying so desperately to mimic Elias so he's taken seriously. Sometimes he wears a tie. Poor guy is struggling in all the layers.

S2 first half: the blazer is gone. The vest is most days too. Too many layers make him itchy and remind him of the worms. Worm scars are still fresh and reopen sometimes. Dark slacks and still his fancy shoes. Glasses still on the chain. Hairs getting shaggy again and the gray has started to spread.

S2 second half: just his button up and cardigan, dark/black jeans and his slip-on shoes are back. Worm scars are starting to properly heal. Glasses are still on the chain but it's broken. Hairs properly hanging in his eyes most days, not that he notices, the gray is more throughout.

S3: first half: What the Ghost shirts and his cardigan. Sweatpants or pajamas. Fuzzy socks/slippers. Worm scars are still fairly prominent but closed up. Fresh burn scar on hand from Jude and healing cut on his neck from Daisy's knife. Hair is back to pre-institute length and usually in a half up/half down situation but now with the added grown out undercut. Glasses live on his head or on his shirt 80% of the time.

S3 second half: return of the button ups but also return of the hoodie/cardigan. Dark/black jeans and his slip-on sneakers. He doesn't wear his glasses most days, he doesn't really need them anymore. Hair is slightly longer and more grey but not quite past the shoulders yet. Worm scars are super faded but still there [he got moisturized for a month, I imagine that probably helped] hand scar is still fairly bad, but also looks better than it should for how recent it is. Same for the scar on his neck.

Prompt: How the OM! Brothers shop for groceries and stuff ft. me!

Pairing: NA

Genre: Headcanons, Crack

TW: NA

Lucifer

This old man has memorised the layout of all his favourite stores. He makes a neat little list in a notebook. He will not type his list in the notes app of his DDD. And his list will be in the order of how he walks through the aisles.

Like, if the first few aisles of the store have foodstuff, those will be at the very top of the list. I add stuff to my list as and when I remember them, so if I ever make a list for him he will most definitely forget to buy something and then blame it on my lacking list-making skills (my mom does this).

No matter how many things we need to buy this man will NEVER take a cart. He will take 3 baskets if required, and give two of them to me. Also will not buy anything that is not on his list. Is ice cream on his list? No? Then I guess we're not getting it...

Man speedwalks through the store. Like there's no time to see which brand of chips I want, I take my eyes off him for one second and he's already at the checkout counter-

Gives everyone who takes their time deciding what to buy, yknow, like a normal person, a glare so intense you'd think they offended his entire lineage or something.

Might yell at me like once for being slow or something during our shopping trip, then make it up to me by buying me ice cream on the way home (Lucifer is an Asian parent confirmed)

Overall, I'd give him 7/10 because he does get the job done, but I will not be the first to volunteer to go with him.

Mammon

List? What list? Haha I'm gonna have to be the responsible adult here-

He never makes a list, because 'he remembers it all in his head anyway'. I'd make a list, then proceed to drag him everywhere, making him hold the stuff.

Complains a bit (a lot) about having to follow me around, but will shut up if I glare at him

Remembers what his brothers need, but always forgets stuff that he needs and when we get home he gives me his best puppy dog eyes and goes "Actually..."

With the amount of trouble this dork can get in I'm pretty sure we're banned from at least one store-

Doesn't care what I put in the cart as long as he can do the same.

We end up forgetting a few items and then having to go back to the store before Lucifer finds out. Then we get ourselves some smoothies as a reward :3

People would hate us because we're the kind of idiots to stand in an aisle taking up all the space while arguing very loudly about cereal brands-

5/10, we're both too easily distracted and absolute menaces when it comes to shopping.

Leviathan

My boy gets all his stuff from Akuzon so I dunno how I'd get him to come grocery shopping with me. If no one else is free that day, he might come with me. Though he'd try to convince me to order from Akuzon before placing a foot out the door-

Whose idea was it to let two socially-inept introverts shop without their assigned extrovert/ambivert? If there are no self-checkout counters we would play rock, paper, scissors to determine who makes small talk with the cashier.

We'll end up buying a lot of junk food and soda. Again I feel like I'd have to make the list and Levi would help with carrying the stuff but I'm sure he'd also add stuff that he wants.

Doesn't care much about like, the necessities? Like, it's ok with him if I wanna get fresh veggies or milk but he won't be one to suggest it if I don't.

Levi gets lost at one point because I'm bad at keeping track of people who come grocery shopping with me and I'm gonna get called to the front desk to get him.

On the way home I take him to the bookstore, get him some new manga and me new books for having survived that ordeal.

9/10, he's like a very well-behaved, anxious kid who occasionally tugs on your clothes and asks you if he can get his favourite bag of chips.

Satan

He won't like this, but he probably is like a toned-down version of Lucifer, except he makes the list in the notes app of his DDD.

Pretty flexible with what we can buy, he'd let me get what I want, within a limit though. Knows how to tell what is fresh and what isn't so I let him select the fruits and veggies

He also speedwalks, but holds my hand so I don't get lost <3

Meanwhile I'm trying to keep up without falling and apologizing to all the people I bump into. Ain't my fault I got little legs-

Hates it when people bump into him and don't apologize so my main job is making sure he doesn't blow up and get us thrown out of the store-

Definitely teases me when I can't reach something before being a gentleman and getting it for me

We end up going to a cat cafe before going home

10/10, I would enjoy it. Very much date vibes.

Asmodeus

He would happily follow me on my grocery runs.

Very easily distracted, I'd need to hold onto him so I dont lose him.

Very good at reminding me what needs to be bought. Has his own list of things that are needed.

Spends a ton of time and takes utmost care in choosing the best of everything. He has a good eye when it comes to stuff like this.

Knows exactly what his brothers like or need and makes my life so much more easier.

Will let me buy everything and anything I want because he is amazing like that.

Flirts with the cashier during checkout and gets us a discount. I aspire to be like him one day-

On the way home we end up going to boutiques so he can do his own little shopping~

9/10, as fun as it is going with him, I don't like being dressed up like a doll after a tiring day of getting groceries. Also won't help me put them away when we get home

Beelzebub

Beel is a sweetheart. I can see him always volunteering to go grocery shopping with me.

Another one I need to be cautious about, he might wander off if he finds something particularly appetizing. Will need to have something on hand to satiate his hunger.

He'd be content with following me around while carrying stuff. Occasionally pipes in when he sees something he heard his brothers wanted.

We will buy a ton of snacks. Now to keep him from opening any of those before we check out...

Probably wouldn't let me get everything I want, but will still be willing to let me get junk food as long as I promise to share them with him.

On the way home we go and have a meal at a restaurant, and then once we're home he helps me put everything away.

10/10, an absolute sweetheart as long as he has something to munch on while we work.

Belphegor

This little shit (derogatory).

This sadistic little bastard enjoys abusing his baby of the family privilege. Annoys the fuck out of me while we're in the store because he knows I'll try my best not to lose my composure in a public place.

The kind of asshole to pick something up and put it somewhere it's not supposed to be. Ever found a bar of soap next to rows of cereals? It's his handiwork, and he's so smug about it I swear-

Gets lost on purpose, to the point where I contemplate leaving him in the store and going home on my own.

Has. To. Comment. On. Every. Single. Thing. I. Get. That is until I threaten to not get the detergent he likes, and suddenly he's a good boy helping me by holding everything

Could care less about what I buy as long as I buy enough for him, Beel and me to share, but like I said before, will comment on everything.

We come straight home and this man just leaves me in the kitchen alone?? He won't help me put away the groceries, he goes straight to his bed.

3/10, there is very little chance I won't try to strangle him on the way back home out of frustration.

[yuxmemi-01]

First post! This is Chapter one of Crescent Moon, a twilight fantasy fiction involving my original character.

Abril x Jasper

It was exactly one forty seven in the morning when I recieved the news that id be moving in with my godmother. The first thought I had was, what if im a burden? No one wants to feel that way, I mean—shes only seen me a few times, ive only gone to forks once and that was for the summer, I felt like such a burden, and I dont want to feel that way ever again.

“Too late.”

I say to myself as I walk towards the cheery lady in the grey toyota—Brie, short for Gabriella, my godmother. She isnt able to have kids of her own, so when my parents had me, it was the best day of her life.

Brie moved to forks for a fresh start, kinda like what my parents are doing for me. She graduated from law school and decided it was time to go somewhere she always wanted to go—America, specifically Washingon, but she didnt want to be around a lot of people, so forks was perfect for her, like it will be for me, hopefully.

“So, hows school been?” Small talk, damnit. “Its been fine, a little boring though.” Not just that, its been hell, I wish I could drop out, but I cant, I have too much I need to accomplish.

“Thats too bad, you want to go shopping? You need to fill up that closet in your new room somehow right?” Shes too sweet, she doesnt need to, I know she doesnt want to, I dont want pity.

“Thats really okay, you dont need to-“

“Its okay Querita, lets go get you some cute clothes.” She offers a soft dimpled smile, she could be a model if she really wanted to, Brie has gorgeous shiny black hair with the smoothest skin and perfect teeth, shes forty but looks twenty years younger than that.

The store smells of incense and new clothes, Brie and I split up, she goes to pic out a few things for herself and I go straight to the opposite side of the store, where the granny clothes lay waiting, baggy ugly dresses and oversized hoodies, nice and comfortable…

I pick out a few loose fitting jeans and hoodies, and a pair of shoes, I hope she buys it all.

“Ugh!” Brie gasps dramatically. “Cariña, qué es esto?!” Shit, maybe I did grab too much!

“Im sorry, I can put some back.” I shift my foot to turn but she grabs my arm, “honey no! Those clothes are too big, and wheres the color?” She drags me to the other side of the store, grabs the clothes and throws them on a rack. “We need to get you something cute, make a good impression yknow?” I sigh and cross my arms, “none of these clothes are going to fit me!”

“What are you talking about? Were like the same size.” She gestured to both of our bodies, I laugh. “No we arent, im bigger than you!”

“Hun, no you arent.” She laughs as she picks up a shirt and puts it to my chest, “what bra size do you wear?”

God this is embarrassing, “double D.” “Same here.” She smiles and picks a few more things. We travel isle to isle, grabbing different clothes and underwear for me, why is she doing this? Did my parents tell her to?

��Isnt this too much money?” I say at checkout, the total was way over five hundred. “Of course not! You dont think ive been saving for your move here?” This was planned? How long have they been plotting on my move?

We visit a few other stores, perfume stores, decor stores, music stores. The car is completely full of things that I didnt need, which I couldn’t be more greatful for, I just…dont understand why, why go through all this trouble?

“Home sweet home!” Brie says as we bring in the rest of the bags. “I have to show you your room, come.” She gestures me to hold her hand and we walk up the stairs. We make it to the door and it has a sign with my name on it, she made me a custom sign?

I look at her excited face as the light from the open door hits her face, I turn my head and im met with the most gorgeous room I’ve ever laid my eyes upon. The first thing I see is a bed thats looks like a queen maybe? A pretty black headboard and baseboard, a purple silky sheet set with pillows to match, a rug, bookshelves with a rocking chair on the left side of the room, and to the right has a big closet that looks like it could fit a car.

what the hell did I do to deserve such a good thing?

“Brie…” tears start to well in my eyes, how much did this cost? Why me? “Thank you so much-“ she holds me tight to her chest as I let my tears fall, why is the universe being so good to me all of a sudden?

“How did you know I liked purple?” I reluctantly pry myself away from her “im your mother, I know everything about you.”

She smiles at me, that swells something in my heart, is this what it feels like to be cared for? To be payed attention to? It feels nice….

“You should unpack, I’ll go buy us some dinner.”

She rubs my shoulder and goes downstairs, the sound of the door later follows.

I inspect the room multiple times in disbelief, no way this is mine, I laugh to myself as I rush downstairs to get comfortable in my new room.

Its currently eight O’clock, my room is unpacked and decorated and a shower has been taken, and my stomach is full, I plop down on my bed and take in a deep breath of my new perfume, I could get used to this!

Ive never had such a luxury before, me? have a nice room? Never crossed my mind, ive been in survival mode for most of my life, maybe this is when I finally get to relax…

That night was the night it started, the dreams.

I was in a forest, a very dark forest. I was running, I didn’t know why I was running until I looked beside me, keeping up with me was something that you only see in movies, a golden eyed beast. It had wild light fur, not like anything I’ve ever seen on an animal, a blonde color, actually. It leaps at me and I wake up.

“Gah!” I wake up panting and in a cold sweat, what was that? It’s five in the morning, just great!

I hope out of bed to get ready early, I smile as I make my way to my clothes filled closet, how aesthetically pleasing.

I pick a pair of jeans and a tank top, I just grab a thin jacket to cover my shoulders and stomach, the clothes were a tight fut as expected, i have never felt more vintage in a pair of jeans. I didn’t bother looking in the mirror doing my hair, its muscle memory, I stopped looking in the mirror a long time ago. I eat an apple and yogurt and eventually Brie wakes up to take me to school, I have to buy me a car, I cant depend on others, that wouldn’t be fair.

I get my schedule and start heading towards the main building for first hour, I get plentiful stares, transferring during the second semester was sure to bring multiple glances, damn! I need to get out of here…

I speed up and start to rapidly search for my class, “where is it?-“ I clash with someone mid speed walk, talk about embarrassing, she stumbles and I catch her by the shoulders. “Im so sorry, oh my god I didn’t mean to!”

What a way to make a first impression Abril! I mentally bash myself in the head.

“No it’s fine, all good.” She shakes her head and laughs. She looks at me a second, puzzled. She must know im new, shes never once seen me. While she stares I notice her features, pretty brown big eyes and brown hair with the palest skin I’ve ever seen, how pretty.

“Im sorry! Are you new?” She says with a confused look.

“Yes, I am actually.”

“Figures, ive never seen you around, whats your name?”

“Abril, Abril Torrez” her eyes widen.

“Thats a pretty name, mines is Bella, Bella Swan. Whats your first hour?”

I giggle, “thank you, I have English with Mr. Mason” I smile as she smiles wider, “sweet, We have the same first hour, you were going the wrong way, you passed it.” She points out.

“Oh thats so embarrassing!” I slap my forehead and turn the other way, we start to walk together.

The day goes by relatively fast and I make it to fourth hour, Chemistry.

“Nice to meet you Abril, could you introduce yourself to the class?” What?! Shes the only teacher so far to ask me that, why, why, why!

“Uhm…My name is Abril Torrez, it’s nice to meet you.” My heart is racing from just that one interaction, “okay, now for a seat…ah, you can sit by Hale, Hale raise your hand.” The teacher says, a hand from the left side of the room raises, sitting there was something I would of never thought I would ever see.

Such an ethereal face, those eyes…theyre black and almost primal, he has slight bruises under his eyes, and his face…that build. I couldn’t possibly sit by him, no way.

I cant just stand frozen, so sadly I have no choice. In the left corner, the seat by him was open, chills ran down my spine as the atmosphere shifts almost instantly, I cant look him in the eye, but I can tell hes nit happy, hes stiff as a board….almost as if he isn’t breathing, does he not want to sit next to me that bad? His demeanor was off the entire class period, I just wanted to get out, it was degrading, insulting even. He darted out the door before the bell rung…

The only thing I looked forward to was talking to Bella, she was the only person that talked to me today.

The lunch line is long and crowded, I grab a little salad, an apple, and a water. I spot Bella and start to make my way towards the table she was seated at, when all of a sudden I get a strong urge to look to the opposite side of the room, there sat Hale and four more Ethereal beings, they all sat staring at me, looking like beautifully sculpted statues, pale—bruised under eyes, and the darkest eyes ive ever seen. Am I staring too much? This is embarrassing, I want to be invisible!

My clothes are too tight, they feel itchy, I cant do this I need to sit, eugh!

I take a huge breath of hair once I sit down, the pressure is too much. “Hey.” A soft mature viice rings in my ear, which I instantly recognize as that girl Bella.

“Oh, hey.” I say out of breath. “Are you okay?”

“Who are those people in the corner?” She looks back and makes a face of realization, “oh! You mean the Cullens.” She smiles and waves at one, a bronze haired boy waves back with a smile, breath taking.

“Im getting deja vu.”

Hm? Who is that? I dont even have to turn because soon the table floods with four other people, making the table total six, which is way too much, too many people in one space, and im new! I think im going to pass out.

“Tell me about it.” A blonde boy says, responding to the brown haired girl. The table introduces themselves one by one, the brown haired girl is Jessica, the tall girl with glasses is Angela, the geeky boy is Ben, and the blonde boy is Mike.

“So, Abril, you wanna know about the Cullens ey?” Ben says nudging my shoulder, I feel awkward and as stiff as a board, I just wanna go home…

“Well, yes.” I say. “Then bella should do the honors then, yes?” Jessica says, with a snap in her tone, she seems bitter.

Bella rolls her eyes and starts, “first, the Blonde girl? Thats rosalie, shes the twin brother to the blonde boy, Jasper.”

That boy, so his First name is Jasper? Something about his hair is familiar, and those eyes…

“The black haired girl with the pixie cut is Alice, the boy with the short curly hair is Emmett, and the bronze haired one is Edward, my boyfriend, theyre all adopted siblings and the adoptive kids of Esme and Carlisle Cullen. Rosalie and emmett are dating.”

“Wha-huh?!” I do I double take, did she say boyfriend? So she knows them personally!

“So, you know them on a personal level?” She smiles, “I guess you could say that, yeah.”

I look over one last time and all of them are just staring a hole into my soul. I feel like crying, why are they staring? Is there something wrong with the way I look? My hair? Clothes? Body? What is it? I adjust my clothes but still feel uncomfortable.

My last hour is P.E with bella and Mike, I cant get that Jasper boy out of my head, why is he so familiar?

Eddie sits next to you at the top of the stairs, shoulder pressed into yours. He looks significantly better than he did when he walked in; as soon as your mother saw the sorry state he was in, she immediately ushered him into the bathroom with fresh towels and ordered you to get a change of clothes. Wayne tried to say that wasn’t necessary, but you and your mother both just kept talking like he hadn’t tried to turn down your hospitality.

Taking a quick glance at Eddie, you still find it unsettling. He’s wearing a pair of sweatpants you plucked from your brother’s room, and one of your old oversized Cocteau Twins shirt. Though he looks comfortable enough, you still think Eddie looks... out of place.

You take a breath and open your mouth to say something—anything, honestly, to break the silence—but Eddie clears his throat. Leans his elbows on his knees and lets his head hang low before turning to look at you.

“Carver’s dead.”

You blink twice. “Excuse me?”

“They found his—someone moved his car,” he says quietly, quickly glancing at the bottom of the stairs. You can hear your mother and Wayne talking. “They found his car at the Creel house. I dunno, someone reported a body, and...” Eddie clenches and unclenches his fists in front of him.

“You don’t,” you start, exhale sharply. “You’re not blaming yourself for—”

“Wha—no! Fuck, no, just...” Eddie sighs and brings his hands up to rub at his eyes. “I guess I figured if we could save Max, maybe...”

You nod. You understand. Maybe no one else would have to die.

“They’re pinning it on him, too,” Eddie whispered, running his hands through his damp hair before crossing his arms. “All of it. Cause of all the army surplus shit in the car.”

“Fuck, that’s...”

You don’t know what to say. Jason Carver was never someone you particularly liked; his behaviour was too strange, too erratic. You could never get a good read on him and, honestly, after seeing how he treated Hellfire—and pretty much anyone who remotely approached the punk vibe—you kept your distance.

Not that the hyper religiosity wouldn’t have been enough to keep you away, because it absolutely would have been.

But to know that he’s dead, now, probably because you’d left him in the damn house... and that he’s getting blamed for Henry Creel’s horrors in death? That didn’t. That isn’t fair. It’s a struggle to come to term with the fact that maybe this could’ve been avoided—

“Hey,” Eddie calls, turning a bit and placing a hand on your knee to grab your attention. “If I shouldn’t blame myself for it, neither should you.”

You huff and look away.

“Am I, uh,” Wayne starts, peeking out of the doorway to the kitchen, up the stairs at you. “Am I interrupting?”

“Wha—no, uh,” Eddie stutters, nearly tripping in an effort to stand up maybe a little too quickly. You clear your throat and shake your head.

“Where are you going?” You ask, craning your head to look up at Eddie. He gently pats his abdomen with a wince.

“Hospital,” he answers, carefully making his way down the stairs. “Now that I’m showered and been demoted back to town freak from murderer, y’know.”

You look down the stairs at Wayne for a few seconds, before getting up yourself to go down to see your mother. You lean into her side where she’s putting away the dishes.

“Do you mind if I take Eddie to the hospital instead?” You ask in a whisper. Your mother keeps a straight face and barely hesitates in her movements.

“Sure, why?” She asks quietly, stacking the plates and carefully placing them in the cupboard.

“Wayne looks exhausted,” You point out, stacking clean cups before passing them over. “Do you have any idea when’s the last time he slept?”

Your mother hums and puts her hands flat on the counter. She looks back at Wayne, still in the doorway, talking quietly to Eddie.

“I haven’t seen him sleep at all.”

Going through triage is easy—for Eddie, at least. One look at the few injuries he’d gotten in the Upside Down had gotten him into a small room with a doctor right away. One look at you had a nurse bringing over an IV to help with what was apparently blatantly obvious dehydration.

No one puts up much of a fight when you and Eddie insist on remaining together. There were enough injured because of the ‘earthquake’ that the small rural hospital was already way over capacity, and they wouldn’t squander an opportunity to save rooms and beds.

The few bites and cuts Eddie had gotten from the bats were thankfully small enough not to warrant stitches, but they’d done up half his chest. You can see a few patches on his arms, too. Without being able to identify exactly what bit him, Eddie had also been antibiotics, fed through the IV he was also sporting for dehydration.

You lean back in the chair you’d been sat in while Eddie’s perched on the edge of the bed next to you. You stay quiet for a bit after the nurse leaves, after informing you both not to move your arms too much.

“So that...” you start, unsure what to say. “That was one hell of a spring break.”

Eddie’s bark of laughter catches you off guard. He laughs harder when he sees you nearly jump out of your skin.

“It’s not that funny,” you mumble, but you can’t help but start laughing, too.

It doesn’t even take a minute for your laughter to calm down, but the next deep breath feels a little bit easier afterward. Like there had been a vice around your chest that’s just... gone, now.

“I’m just glad we basically wrapped up the Cult of Vecna campaign,” Eddie sighs, fiddling with the IV with his off hand. “Don’t think I’d be able to keep going with it after...”

“Hmm. Yeah, well, at least now you’ve got songwriting material, right?” You’re rewarded with a short chuckle. “No, seriously, you could—”

“Hey, sorry, can I ask you something?”

“What—I mean yeah, sure, any time,” you answer quickly, frowning.

Eddie’s moved from fiddling with the IV to cracking his knuckles. You bite your tongue to keep from asking what’s wrong and decide to be patient about it. He opens his mouth to speak a few times but shakes his head. The fourth time, he speaks up.

“If you hadn’t been... caught up in all this shit,” Eddie starts slowly. “Would you have, I dunno, like. Would you have believed it?”

“What, the whole thing about the Upside Down?”

“No, I mean,” Eddie exhales sharply before raising his head to look at you. “About me. That I—that I killed Chrissy.”

You’re honestly so shocked by the question that it takes a second for you to try and formulate an answer that conveys just how unbelievable that bullshit story was to begin with.

“I’d literally eat my own arm before I’d believe something that stupid,” you try to say evenly, voice cracking. “No one who’s bothered to talk to you for more than ten seconds would honestly believe that.”

“Would... would you have come looking for me? If you hadn’t seen me?”

You open your mouth to answer right away, but pause to actually take a second to think. It’s almost easy to imagine a world where you’d never spoken to Eddie when the nightmares came back with a vengeance. A world where you kept either to the quiet shelves of the library or the silence of your room. Where you hear about Eddie’s alleged involvement in the murder of a high school girl and couldn’t believe your ears. Where you grabbed your car and headed straight for Forest Hills.

“I would’ve wanted to,” you answer quietly, turning to look down at your own lap. “I would’ve wanted to help.”

You turn your head back up when you hear the hospital bed creak. Eddie’s sliding over to make room, and pats the space next to him. You breathe out a short okay before carefully getting up from the chair and hopping up on the bed, careful to take the IV pole with you and not jostle your arm too much. Eddie brings his good arm around your shoulders and pulls you in; gently, though, like he’s worried you’d pull away.

You let yourself be reeled in, let him guide your head to rest just beneath his collarbone, and let him rest his head on yours.

Your stomach feels like it’s full of static. You feel like running away and crying at the same time.

You stay like that until the nurse comes back to check in.

April 12th, 1986

You look around the apartment before dropping the last box on top of one of the stacks in Eddie’s room. Might not have been as big as his room in the trailer, but this is one of two rooms. Which means Wayne gets to have his own space for the first time in god knows how many years.

And Eddie is beaming. Not an ounce of care that the place is a bit narrower than he’s used to. You interrupt yourself mid-sigh when you notice that he’s already put up the Corroded Coffin flag and several posters. You can’t help but laugh.

“Dude, you don’t even know where the furniture’s gonna go yet!”

“Incorrect,” Eddie says, slapping the remaining corner of an Ozzy poster with a bit more force than necessary. “I know where shit’s not gonna go, so I know where it will go.”

You narrow your eyes and shake your head at him when he turns to look at you triumphantly. “Sure, bud. Come on, Pizza’s waiting.”

“I’m kind of weirdly happy those made it you,” you point at Wayne who, despite being at it since the crack of dawn, was still busy unpacking his collection of mugs, of all things. “Shame about the hats though.”

“Old man’s gonna have to live with the reality that he’s been balding since I was twelve,” Eddie quips, patting the man on the shoulder and trying to herd him into the kitchen.

You’re halfway through your first slice of pepperoni-bacon-onion pizza when you hear thumping and cursing from the direction of the front door. Eddie scoffs around his own slice of pizza and rushes to open the door.

“Thanks man, really appreciate it, super quick response time,” you hear Steve say, clearly through clenched teeth.

“Can we move, please?” you hear Dustin calling from behind the couch he’s apparently helping Steve carry. “Or did we forget I’m literally missing bones?”

“None in your arms, numbskull,” you hear Steve mutter. “Wait, did you guys start eating without us?”

“The fuck?”

You decidedly ignore the sausage fest at the front door.

“How’d you find this place anyways, Wayne?” you ask, pouring yourself a glass of coke. “I didn’t think anything would be available in April, especially after what happened.”

“Strangest thing,” Wayne starts, putting his slice down and leaning back in his chair. “Some government agent showed up at your parents place while y’all were out. Said the government’s giving me paid leave and ‘providing accommodations’, on account of the earthquake.”

You freeze, glass of coke nearly at your mouth. “A government agent?” Wayne only grunts in confirmation. “You’re right, that is strange.”

“Eh,” Eddie interjects, hopping up to sit on the kitchen counter next to the pizza. “We’ve seen stranger things.”

You twist and throw your arm around your chair to look back at Dustin and Steve as they make their way to the joint kitchen and dining room.

“Yeah, I heard Mike saw Susie on their way here. Spending time in a Mormon household...” You shudder and turn back to your pizza slice. “That’s definitely weirder.”

You ignore Dustin’s indignant and shocked gasp when Eddie catches your eye. He nods toward his (new) bedroom before hopping off the counter. You don’t bother excusing yourself; Wayne’s already back to unpacking and Dustin and Steve are busy bring a shining example of unrelated siblings.

“What’s up?” you ask when you enter the room. Eddie’s already bent at the waist going through one of the boxes.

“Got something,” he says shortly, quickly picking up the box and putting it aside to look through the next one. He gestures at the other boxes. “Find the one with the records?”

“Uh, sure,” you agree, hesitant, but you don’t have the chance to open a single box before you hear a loud ‘aha!’ Eddie’s victoriously holding a record over his head, before letting his arms drop and holding it out for you.

“What... Frank Sinatra? Dude are you good.” You frown down at the records—Fly Me to the Moon, of all things. It’s always been one of your favourite, but... but it’s not like you’ve ever told anyone that. Much less Eddie.

Not that you don’t trust that he would treat you the same as he always had, but... but, jazz isn’t. It doesn’t really match the rest of your personality? You’ve very much been catering your more punk inclinations, and jazz is...

“Your mom told me,” Eddie explains quietly, taking a careful step toward you. He leans a bit over to the side, trying to get a better look at your face. “She, uh. She said your grandpa played it for you a lot when you were a kid.”

You can’t swallow the lump in your throat.

“I... thank you, but why?”

Eddie nods at the record in your hands. “Pull it out.”

You look up at him long enough to give him a confused look. You pull the record out nevertheless. And it, itself, is completely unremarkable. The envelope that falls out, however, very much catches your attention. You slip the record back in its sleeve and pass it over to Eddie without looking.

You crouch to pick up the envelope and flip it over in your hands. No writing, huh. You flip it open, and it just takes the quickest of glances at what’s inside for you to scream and throw the envelope to the floor.

Two tickets for Judas Priest stare back at you.

You vaguely register Eddie shooing both Steve and Dustin away.

“You’re uh, you’re makin’ me nervous here,” Eddie says eventually. You crouch back down to pick up the tickets in their envelope.

“How?”

“Hush money,” Eddie shrugs, and with the amount of frowning you’re doing you’re almost worried your face will stay stuck that way.

“Judas Priest. In August, in Indianapolis. For Turbo.”

Eddie bites back a grin and nods. You look at him, down to the tickets, and back up at him.

“You’re coming with me right?” You’re barely done talking and Eddie’s pumping a fist in the air. “Wait, did you not intend for me to take you?”

“Uh, well, y’know I didn’t wanna assume—”

“And you put them in a Frank Sinatra sleeve?” You laugh, carefully tucking the envelope in the back pocket of your jeans before throwing your arms around Eddie’s neck and pulling him in for a hug. You almost pull away when you feel him tense.

But then Eddie sighs and wraps his arms around you, before promptly lifting you up just enough to spin you around once. When your feet are back on the ground, you look up at Eddie and can’t help but laugh again.

“We’re gonna see fuckin’ Judas Priest!”

May 4th, 1986

It’s movie night, and this time it’s at your parents’ place. In light of which day it is—and the fact that the host gets to pick the movie—you’re forcing Steve to watch Star Wars.

The house is blessedly empty, save for the invited few. Your parents’ wedding anniversary is, very conveniently, also May 4th, which means they’re out enjoying a lovely vacation far, far away from the gaping hellmouth that is Hawkins. Your brother, after the initial mess and organization post-quake, went back home.

Steve is comfortably reclined in your dad’s La-Z-Boy, Nancy and Robin are glued together at one end of your parents’ 4-seater while Jonathan tries to look like he’s not bothered by the distance, leaning against the opposite arm. You’re sat in your mother’s rocking chair with Eddie sitting with his back against your legs.

Just as R2 starts playing Leia’s message, you hit the pause button on the remote and clear your throat.

“Just wanted to say that I’m moving out in July cause Helen owns a place but her tenants hauled ass when everything went to shit so if y’all wanna help just scream.” You hit the play button.

You get about a second of hearing Leia plead with Obi-Wan before she becomes absolutely inaudible under the cacophony. Robin and Eddie both stand up in shock, Steve tries to argue that he doesn’t even know if he can help you move, while Jonathan and Nancy seem content to let the other three run wild with their questions.

You can’t help but laugh. “So you’re all helping then?”

Eventually, when everything calms down—which is to say, once Robin and Steve have calmed down—and you’ve paused the movie again, you take the time to explain. Properly.

“So Helen,” Robin starts, staring down at her hands to keep track. “Library Helen that didn’t like you two years ago, went to see you, first, to offer you a house.”

You make a face and lean your head back.

“I mean yeah, but like. It’s not too far from Forest Hills, so the guy who lived there with his brother just left the day that—the, when the...”

“Wait, so is it like, furnished?” Steve asks, and you can already see the shining beam of hope flashing in his head. So you nod.

“Yeah, pretty much. Sense of style’s gonna be horrible but it’s whatever, right?” You look down at Eddie, still dutifully sat on the floor in front of your legs, and playfully tousle the top of his head. “What matters is that I have my own place now.”

May 24th, 1986

“You didn’t have to come,” you say quietly, gripping your umbrella like it’s about to run away. Your shoes squelch uncomfortably with the rain. Your clothes feel damp and your left shoulder’s soaked.

“I know.” Eddie doesn’t say anything else, just occasionally bumps his shoulder into you to try and get you out of your own head.

And you were very, very deep in your own head.

It’s still hard to... to process, just. Everything that’s happened. There are three people dead. Three kids dead. And before that, there was—

Your throat still clenches when you think about what happened at Starcourt. Everything that led up to it—the progressively more imposing and suffocating feeling of something closing in. People going missing, the rumbling of the earth underfoot something massive.

Eddie bumps into you again. He doesn’t look worried or weirded out when you nearly jump out of your skin. When you look up at him, he just turns to look back ahead.

“We’re here,” he says, but gently puts a hand on your shoulder to hold you back. You can see Eddie’s gaze going from eye to eye to gauge your reaction—or maybe your current state of mind?—before gripping your shoulder a bit tighter. “If nothing happens...”

“Then I lose nothing,” you reply quietly, slowly reaching up to take his hand off your shoulder. “It’s fine. I’ll be fine.”

Eddie swallows thickly but nods. You don’t let go of his hand.

It was... maybe a little weird. It was probably a lot weird, actually, to want to come to a cemetery right around dinnertime. But with everything calming down, with no sign of anything extradimensional fucking with shit again, it was like there was a gentle pressure at the back of your neck pushing you forward. Nothing creepy, nothing unpleasant, just something like a hand trying to guide you somewhere.

You’d asked Eddie to come just in case.

You pull him along with one hand, first to Barbara Holland. Heavy in your other arm is a bouquet of carnations—two toned, the scarlet red edging the petals a contrast to the stark white of the rest. You place one in front of Barbara’s grave before taking a knee in the muddy ground. You put the bouquet down next to you after passing your umbrella over to Eddie. And then you just close your eyes and... and wait, for a bit.

You’re not sure you expect anything to happen. You’ve tried messing around with the cleric spell list, for lack of a better way to put it, but you seemed back to normal. No weird powers, no weird dreams. Back to being just a small down librarian.

You jolt back from a near-doze, and Eddie has to catch you—awkwardly, trying to manage two umbrellas—before you hit the muds.

“You good?” He asks, passing the umbrella back over to you once you’ve picked the bouquet back up.

“Y-yeah,” you stutter, looking back at the grave for a second. “Yeah, I’m... good.”

You go through several people like that; you find the grave, give a flower, kneel down for a second to... meditate? Only to eventually be shocked back into wakefulness.

The last person you go see is Chrissy Cunningham. If there’s a second of hesitation in his step, Eddie hides it well. There’s a moment when you feel bad, when you’re both standing in front of the grave. Eddie’s breathing sounds strained, even over the sound of the rain hitting your umbrellas. Your fingers bump into his when you blindly reach for his hand. You give his hand a last squeeze before taking a knee again.

You close your eyes, and when you let your fingertips brush against the headstone, it feels like a shock. The back of your eyelids are painted white, before everything gets eaten up by an endless black. This feels familiar.

When you open your eyes, you’re here—this strange in between place you’ve seen Eleven in. The headstone is still in front of you but there’s... something else, here. Something nagging at you.

You stand up to look around. There’s a feeling like knowing, in your bones, that there’s something else here. You take a deep breath and start by looking down at your feet. And then, slowly, outward.

There. In the shallow waters, something... red?

When you make your way to it, there’s no mistaking it: that’s a whole ass rose bud. Just sitting there like it’s always been there and this is exactly where it should grow. So, naturally, you move to pick it up. The thing doesn’t budge.

So you kneel down by the almost-flower, and gently try to pull it up. Somehow, it’s like the entire plan is... beneath you? And this bud is the only thing that’s made it to the surface. You don’t want to just—well, no, you don’t think you should just pluck the thing. That... doesn’t feel right.

Instead, you start digging your fingers into the ground as best you can to try and unearth the would-be rose. When you’ve cleared enough of the stem to get a grip on it and pull, you have to take a second to warm your fingers.

You don’t think about why the water’s cold.

Carefully, trying to dodge and protect the rosebud, you wrap your fingers around the stem and tug.

Nothing. Not that you figured a tiny tug would do it.

You flex your fingers around the stem a bit more firmly. This time, you take a deep breath, dig your heels in, and pull.

It’s slow at first, but as you keep the tension, the stem starts to budge. Then, all at once, it’s like an explosion of colours; like fireworks and paint flying everywhere. There’s a cacophony of sound, too; laughing, shrieking, popping corn and a crowd cheering. The sound of flash bulbs burning out, the smell of pine trees and ink and paper, the glint of glass.

You come too looking straight up at a very concerned looking Eddie. You’re having a hard time breathing; you’re not... entirely sure what just happened, there. You think you might understand, maybe. You hope that maybe you’re right. That maybe you just helped some people get... unstuck.

You only realize you’re crying when Eddie gathers you up in his arms and sighs. He doesn’t sound put out or upset.

“Your mom’s gonna kill me,” he says, nose in your hair. You laugh a little. “You’re gonna track mud all over the place.”

You appreciate that he doesn’t ask about what just happened. You don’t know that you’d be able to explain it even if you wanted to.

The two of you only spend a few more seconds like that before Eddie helps you back up to your feet. At arm’s length, he takes a look at you and makes you do a spin. He groans and pulls you along behind him, barely giving you enough time to grab the two umbrellas where they’d fallen.

“What the hell was that for?”

“My van doesn’t deserve this, man,” Eddie moans, looking down at himself before gesturing at you. “It’s gonna take forever to clean everything out! You’re lucky you’re cute.”

“...did you just—”

“Don’t. No. I didn’t say anything. Shut up and get in the damn van, you heathen.”

You return the kindness to Eddie; you don’t ask about why his ears are scarlet red the whole ride home.

TITLE: NICE GUYS FINISH LAST RATING: EXPLICIT 🔞 PAIRING: WYATT/JONESY

All Characters In This Fic Are 18+

Wyatt hurried over and ducked inside. “Should we really be in here? This is the Handicap Stall, what if someone needs it?” Jonesy rolled his eyes. “You can drop the ‘Nice Guy’ act, alright Wyatt? We need it. It’s fine.” Wyatt was about to argue when Jonesy threw him a dismissive handwave. “Look, if you want to huddle in one of the cramped dirty stalls be my guest, but you’re alone there, bud. Besides”—he brandished his phone—“I got the good stuff loaded up on this and you’re gonna want it, trust me.” Wyatt grumbled. He had chosen to spend his money on the girls which meant forgoing extra data on his cell that month. And, of course, that meant he was fresh out in this desperate time of need. His dick ached in his pants. “Alright, fine!” he relented. “But I’m gonna feel so shitty if someone who actually needs this stall can’t use it because of us.” “I can live with that,” Jonesy said with a shrug and a grin. He held out an earbud for Wyatt. Wyatt took it and rolled it between his fingers. “This all you have?” he asked. Jonesy rolled his eyes once again. “What, not high quality enough for you? Bass not good enough for the ‘perfect sound quality’ for your fragile hipster ears or something?” “No, jackass,” Wyatt snapped. “They’re wired.” “So?” “So we’ll have to stand close together if we both want to use them,” Wyatt explained. What was Jonesy not getting about this? It was awkward enough for them to share porn and jack off together, did they really need to be ass to ass while they did it, too?

CONTINUE READING ON AO3 yknow, it's quite a shock being literally the only jonesy/wyatt fic on all of ao3! i really would've expected all of the various combos of the guys to have some fandom love but it really looks like jonesy/wyatt gets the least.

anyway, just something small and simple, spinning off of an early season one episode. im hoping to get back to writing this pairing one day. hopefully by that time i won't be the only one, haha.

Just watched nimona and while I really did enjoy it I think I liked the comic better. (Disclaimer: It’s been like 6 years since I read it so I might not be remembering some details correctly)

I really preferred the comics nonlinear storytelling. Let the audience learn about Bal as nimona does!! Don’t show his entire hand (oof) before the drama even starts! It seems like the creators wanted the audience to be able to see the story through Bals perspective instead of nimonas which I get but. Idk. Maybe I just don’t like linear stories.

I thought the movie defanged bal and ambrosius’ complicated relationship. The longer timespan between the assassination and nimonas entrance in the comic really brought out both the bitterness and devotion between the pair. The shorter period in the movie made it feel less significant. Like, of course they still love eachother bc it’s only been like a month max. Everything is still fresh compared to the delicious fermentation (ew why did I say it like that) in the comic.

I was also a bit disappointed in the animation. Don’t get me wrong I 100% support the animators and all the artists involved with this movie!! It just felt like it wasn’t given the time or budget to really shine. The jail break scenes in particular stood out as having very boring and generic backgrounds. Also, and this is just my own personal preference, the art style wasn’t my cup of tea. The webcomic had a wonderfully unique art style with adorably minimalistic facial features while the move was just. Kinda generically cutesy Disney-like with all the big puppy eyes.

As far as expanding on the material in the comics, though, the movie really was a lot of fun and I would still very much recomend it. Just, yknow. I also highly highly recomend reading the comic, too.
