I'm loving this au! I can't help but IMAGINE the emotions Lamb is going through rn. Like, in this time, the world might as well be another planet with how different everything is.
For instance, there's SHEEP! There's so many sheep! They're a whole, thriving species! Lamb has no memories of their kind. Even their parent's faces were a blur.
And seeing so many now? Seeing how things used to be? It really, truly hits Lamb with just how devastating the genocide was. The weight of the bishop's bloodlust. How senseless and cruel they were... or will be...
But... the haven't done that yet
The bishops now dont have anything against the sheep. They have no reason to want the whole species gone. They welcome Lamb with open arms and accept them into their odd family.
To make things harder for Lamb, they cant relate to any of the sheep in this time. They know nothing about their culture. Plus, they're an imortal god with all the powers the title holds.
For the first time Lamb is surrounded by members of his own kind. But the only ones he can relate to are those who would hunt them to extinction.
Yeah, the lamb is so emotionally wrung out lol. They're having a heck of a time
The bishops are so.......... normal. It's beyond strange, and feels like an impossibility. Yet here it is, undeniable proof right before their eyes. Leshy is full of boundless energy and is always pestering them to play, grabbing lamb by the hands and dragging them into games of tag or to show them some new flowers he found. Heket hasn't started her metamorphosis yet, so she's confined to the holy pools due to needing water to breathe, but she's just. A normal little girl. Rather spunky and so very spirited. Competitive too: she loves to race back and forth in the water, and dive to the bottom and pick up especially nice pebbles to show them.
Even Narinder, the god of death himself, no longer burdened by millenia of spite and anger and isolation, is a perfectly normal child. Whereas Leshy and Heket are still preschool age, he's probably like. The godly equivalent of 10-12. He's rather sullen and kinda grumpy, but he's nowhere near anything resembling wicked. And the older two? Once Kallamar gets used to them, the lamb sees an entirely different side to him: he's actually rather sweet and mellow when anxiety isn't making him jumpy, and Shamura's like a super-parent, always on top of everything with an endless fountain of love and patience for their siblings
The lamb is just... so overwhelmed. So conflicted. It's impossible to think of these people, these children, as bloodthirsty monsters. They're genuinely a nice little family. How can they look at them and equate them to the distant future, where fear and grief drive them to commit such atrocities?

Ghost Twins: Lost in Gotham
A/N: I finally got my copy of AGIT and it sparked this prompt idea, I might continue on...
"Of all the times why were we thrown into a different dimension…"
"I am not happy about this either, twerp."
Danny gave his body double a scorching glare. Dan only shrugged as he leaned back into the park bench, hiding a chuckle. Even if the situation was dire, it was kind of funny too. Good things had changed so much since he got a human body. Danny had become more of a brother to him than his nemesis or time original, especially since Danny had gotten the crown and was trying to smooth things over for ghosts and humans. Plus he finally understood why Jazz like to tease them so much as her younger siblings. He got to tease his time original / cousin / 'younger' brother now too, well he did see himself as the older one when they could technically pass as twins.
"We are stuck looking like this! Our powers don't work and I can't open a portal, Dan!"
"And what do you want me to do about it? Clockwork is not responding to either of us."
Dan studied Danny who was still pacing in knee-high snow, then looked down at his hand which was smaller than he remembered. He tried reaching out to his ghost powers but nothing responded. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed Danny stopping his pacing and looking back at Dan, his voice soft from resignation.
"What is the last thing you remember?"
"It's... nothing." I don't remember what I did last. Why do you ask?"
"It's the same for me. We are stranded for some unknown reason in an entirely different Dimension in six-year-old bodies, with no clue or solution to get home and our ghost powers being all wonky as shit! And clockwork won't react to us yelling his name into the snowstorm we are currently in! At least we are cold-resistant!"
Danny resumed pacing in the snow, kicking random little snow hills he was making with his pacing as he ranted. Dan was watching him from the park bench with a scowl of his own. Both had found themself waking up to each other in a pile of snow in a park that was located in a city they had no idea about, the only thing they had was a green sticky note with the words 'Code Bat: Different Dimension'.
That led to Danny yelling for clockwork into the starting snowstorm. They knew their powers weren't completely gone. Wherever they were they were in a place with a lot of ambient ectoplasm.
"We should look for a way out of the snow twerp. Even with cold resistance, we should stay out here." Dan huffed as he tried to make out the buildings around them outside of the park, Danny instantly stopped pacing tilting his head.
"Where should-"
Both boys yelled in absolute horror as they suddenly got picked up and were carried like a sack of potatoes under the arms of strange guys. Instincts kicked in and the two instantly fought back but the guys carrying them didn't appear to be bothered.
The wind whisked past their ears making hearing anything difficult until they finally got put down next to each other. Instantly Dan took half a step before Danny, glaring at the ones that abducted them from a park. "Who the fuck are you, guys?!"
"Language kid. And I should be asking what the fuck you little kids were doing out in the middle of the worst Snowstorm Gotham had in a long time?" The guy in a red helmet said towering over them with crossed arms. "I know you street rats are smarter than staying out in the open like this. Don't you kids have a shelter?"
Street Rats? Okay, so what if their clothes looked a little ratty? Hold a second. Danny and Dan looked at each other briefly as if for the first time noticing how worn the clothes they had looked compared to what they were used to wearing. Great so not only were they in twin six-year-old bodies but also wearing such worn-out clothes that people saw them as street rats.
"None of your fucking business." Dan retorted, the fun of the situation now gone and anger and frustration settling in as he glared at their abductors. Danny on the other hand tilted his head miming the confused child as he stared up at them.
"We got lost."
"You got lost?" The other guy in blue with a mask asked them unbelieving and Danny only nodded.
"Yup, we got lost."
Dan watched how the two adults playing dress up exchanged glances. He peaked back at Danny and then back at them. Before making a probably short-sighted decision.
"Fuck this!" He said out loud and grabbed his twin's hand. Once more he reached for his ghost core and powers, internally yelling at it to get a response. And it worked, sort of.
He felt intangibility wash over them so he attempted to escape by phasing him and Danny through the ground only… to get halfway stuck as the old on his ghostly powers got lost. Dan's eye twitched as he realized he was stuck in the ground up to his tights.
"Dan what the fuck?!" Danny who was now stuck knee-deep into the floor yelled.
"I was at least attempting to escape!"
"We are stuck now! This is even worse! You could have just let me talk our way out of this!"
"Oh hell no. I remember the others saying often enough that you should not do the talking!"
"Phasing us through the floor is not better at all! Our powers are wonky or did you forget that?!"
While the twin boy's where fighting Nightwing and Red Hood exchanged worried glances.
"Hood…"
"Yea… Probably Meta Twins on the run."
"I will contact the others."

A Kuroshitsuji theory about the emerald witch arc
I've never posted something like this and English isn't my main language but I just wanted to share some thoughts with other fans, so please let me know what you think about this :)
We are in the dream in chapters 93-95, and could these scenes hide clues about the future/role of certain characters???
Who are the pieces on the chessboard?
(Maybe a big foreshadowing about the most recent chapters????)
Tumblr media
What pieces are present for each group?
Black: 1 king, 1 horse/knight, 1 rook*, 3 pawns
White: 1 queen, 1 horse/knight, 1 bishop, 1 rook*, 2 pawns
*I'm almost sure it's a rook because it's the only piece left and the other shapes wouldn't really fit.
First, let's include a bit of symbolism for each piece. (Full article: https://chessquestions.com/chess-pieces-symbolism-shape/)
After looking at the various characters that Yana linked to the pieces it was super interesting to re-read their role/symbolism and try to understand the reasons behind those placements.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Later two mirrored panels appear and they indicate that certain pieces represent certain characters.
Tumblr media
Ok that was easy.
But what about the others?
And we know that Yana doesn't do things randomly, so what could be the reason for certain choices?
Let's see the theory little by little…
White:
▪︎ BISHOP -> Joker
▪︎ PAWN 1 -> Doll
▪︎ PAWN 2 -> ?
▪︎ ROOK -> ?
▪︎ HORSE -> ?
▪︎ QUEEN -> ?
▪︎ ?
Black:
▪︎ ROOK -> Vincent
▪︎ PAWN 1 -> Madame red
▪︎ KING -> ?
▪︎ HORSE -> ?
▪︎ PAWN 2 -> ?
▪︎ PAWN 3 -> ?
4 of them are revealed by Yana herself and two more are quite obvious: O!Ciel is the black king and Sebastian the black knight.
These two symbolisms are often used both in the first chapters and in the anime.
Furthermore, it is mentioned in the same chapter:
Tumblr media
O!Ciel is frequently shown as the "black king" but in the chapter we can see him standing in front of the king, he covers part of it and it's as if he is the one wearing the crown.
R!Ciel is leaning on the horse when he says that Ciel is scared to look at the "proof of sin" which is a clear reference to Sebastian. Also, on the chessboard in the first picture, we find the horse close to O!Ciel.
Ok, perfect, now the hypotheses and spoilers for the latest released chapters begin.
I start with two characters who are shown in the chapter but not as chess pieces: Rachel and R!Ciel.
Tumblr media
Rachel is not present in the second picture but is always shown next to Vincent (in this chapter too) so I think she could be the pawn seen in the first photo in the box G8.
For R!Ciel, however, the question is a little different because we actually know which piece he represents even if that piece is not shown on the board.
R!Ciel is the white king, this not only because he's O!Ciel's twin but because it's shown to us by Yana through the way he moves.
This picture is super helpful to understand where the characters are positioned and how they move.
Tumblr media
We can see him (blue dot) standing on C3 in a scene, then he moves until he's on F2 (the X), standing in front of the black horse (G2, red dot).
I found it interesting how the way he moves is almost underlined with zooms and sparkles: first, a single step obliquely (in D2) and then another single step.
We don't actually know if the move was C3->D2->E2->F2 or C3->D2->E3->F2 but the important thing is that he moves in multiple directions but only one step at a time, and this is a main feature of the king in chess.
So what is the situation now?
White:
▪︎ BISHOP -> Joker
▪︎ PAWN 1 -> Doll
▪︎ PAWN 2 -> ?
▪︎ ROOK -> ?
▪︎ HORSE -> ?
▪︎ QUEEN -> ?
▪︎ (KING -> R!Ciel)
Black:
▪︎ ROOK -> Vincent
▪︎ PAWN 1 -> Madame red
▪︎ KING -> ? (O!Ciel)
▪︎ HORSE -> ? (Sebastian)
▪︎ PAWN 2 -> ? (Rachel?)
▪︎ PAWN 3 -> ?
I'm not actually interested in the black pieces at the moment so let's focus on the rest.
Looking at the situation that has been created with the return of the real Ciel and other characters recently, do we perhaps have some clues about the current factions???
Both R!Ciel and Doll returned as bizarre dolls, so could we consider the whites their side or at least a side that is O!Ciel's enemy?
Then we can now guess who the white horse is in my mind.
Tumblr media
Why do I think that Undertaker is the white horse?
He has a somewhat similar role to that of Sebastian for O!Ciel, albeit distorted.
They're both the "knight" to their "kings", someone who stays by their side (white horse in B4, really close to the white king in C3) and provides support and strategy, I don't know but it just made sense to me.
What about the white queen?
OK, now it's going to get a bit crazy.
Tumblr media
Let's look down again where the white queen and black knight are shown, and let's see what is said.
“Nothing will hurt you here” is referred to O!Ciel, so who could be a threat to him?
Sebastian, of course (in that same moment in the manga he was trying/considering eating him, his goal is to devour Ciel's soul at the end) but is also shown the white queen???
A queen who could hurt him?
Yeah so I think it represents Queen Victoria. Why?
My theory is that on the chessboard she is part of O!Ciel's enemy faction (she is not R!Ciel's ally at the moment and she wasn't involved with the blue cult arc since Undertaker despises her lol) because she could be connected with the events of the twins’ tenth birthday.
There are too many coincidences about 14 of December: Prince Albert's death, the twins’ birth, the attack. A lot of theories here on tumblr explain it really well.
And the other pieces? I don't think it's too crazy to assume that all 4 stars may be present on the board: Sirius, Vega, Canopus and Polaris.
2 of them are already there-> Sirius (both Ciel) and Canopus (Doll).
We now know that Vega is Layla, so she could be PAWN 2 or the ROOK based on her future role/importance(??)
Polaris has yet to be revealed but I believe it could be Joker who is already the white BISHOP, an important piece who is however not linked to the royal court but to a different master, who in his case is Baron Kelvin.
For my first post, it got waaay too long, so maybe I should explain in different posts all my theories on the queen's role, Polaris' identity, etc.
I hope it wasn't too chaotic 😅

random poly!erejean headcanons bc i said so ❤︎₊ ⊹
some of these are going to end up nsfw i'm sure so i'm going to put a cut at some point but i just love this little throuple and u guys need to know as much about them as me and @fictional-d-supremacy
it takes eren the longest to adjust to everything (to be fair, he went from "wait, a threesome would be fun...especially with jean!" to "why especially with jean?" to "wait...jean.")
so it's understandable that it takes eren a bit to understand his attraction towards jean and jean's towards him, both of them are hesitant and crossing that bridge of best friends -> unexpected relationship
but one day you come over unexpectedly to find them snuggled up on the couch together, eren tucked under one of jean's arms and your heart just melts - naturally they LEAP up when you catch them and are super pink and eyeing each other suspiciously
jean goes a little too long without a hair cut and eren (after some manhandling) drags him in front of you one day, both of their hair tied back in identical buns. "look babe, twins!"
going on a date night with the three of you is damn near impossible
jean and eren bicker constantly about the restaurant. jean wants to wear the same red button-down that eren's already got on and claims he's called dibs. eren wants to have sex but you're all already fifteen minutes late for the reservation
all that to say jean gets to show off his cooking abilities a lot considering how many dinner reservations you miss
it turns out jean is the only person that can dom eren. eren loves to talk shit to you, but jean can shut him right up. sometimes jean's in the mood to play good cop/bad cop (like we've seen in the fics), but other times, your sex life just goes in a cycle of jean pulling the strings and you and eren smiling up at him with hearts in your eyes
eren finds out that he loves giving head. neither you or jean can get out the door without eren trailing after you begging to "just give it a kiss goodbye"
jean teaches you how to help him make eren cum without anyone touching him (you didn't even know guys could do that, and neither did eren)
when it finally happens, eren's eyes are as big as saucers while jean and you just smirk at him
"what just happened?" "you came." "i-i- but, i know, but-" "i think we broke him."
birthdays are a HUGE deal
especially since two of you can gang up on whoever's the birthday princess (regardless of gender, the birthday boy/girl has to wear the "birthday princess" crown that eren got you for your birthday a few years ago)
you've come home on several instances to find the air in the apartment chilly and jean and eren not speaking only to find out one beat the other in a video game
even once they're comfortable and mushy and in love, jean and eren still insist on you sleeping in between them
1. "because you're our princess!" 2. "because jean snores." 3. "yeah? well eren kicks." you wind up both the body pillow and the punching bag for them
you and jean love to get eren all flustered by telling him how pretty he looks before you head out. little cheek/forehead kisses make him scowl and blush without fail.
alternatively, you and eren love to rile jean up by sending him nudes and nasty videos while he's at work. you both pay for it later, but it's so worth it.
i feel like they just pick you up 24/7? like they've absolutely swung you back and forth with one holding your arms and one holding your ankles just to piss you off while you're reading on the couch
when you get your period, the boys secretly call it your "monstruation" period. jean chastises eren for it all the time, but he's the one that slips up and clues you in on it
eren's in charge of snacks and movies to keep you comfortable, jean's in charge of medicine and keeping the tampon/pad drawer stocked
eren absolutely buys stupid "his/hers/his" things for the house like mugs and matching towels. denies being the one that bought them when they show up in the mail
"we must have a secret admirer- i mean, not like i blame them or anything. we're hot."
i have so many more i just didn't want this to be an absolute MONSTER of a post lol. like yes, is poly!erejean a smutty dream? sure, but the FLUFF potential!!! that's what gets me! i just love them <3
if you guys want more please tell me i will never shut up about them ever

in the spirit of saturnalia: I ask for a coffee shop au fic with savathun
Can I get an art grant to develop this into a full series? Do you want ME to write/draw something outside my usual body of work? Inquire here!
A small crowd gathered near the rear of the cafe, chattering raucously around candlelit tables, framed by floodlights trained on the small stage at the back. Another open mic night at the Gaslight Cafe.
"Good turnout tonight," Lavinia Garcia Umr Tawil commented to the owner and senior barista, Savathûn. The middle-aged woman had long braids tied into a bun at the crown of her head, and a loud floral print shirt peeking from beneath a mint-green apron emblazoned with the logo of the shop. A stylized moth framed by an old-fashioned lantern.
"We'll see how long it lasts," she replied with a note of exasperated humor.
Lavinia tilted her head. Leaned across the coffee-bar so she didn't have to shout above the ambient noise. "Is the lineup that . . . bad?" 
"My nieces are the opening act," Savathûn commented, gesturing at the stage. Two identical women, perhaps a bit younger than Lavinia, dressed in what she could only describe as avant-garde victorian-goth-chic, long red gowns and pyramidal fascinators atop their heads, fiddled with an electric guitar and drum set respectively. The longer Lavinia looked, the more she could make out a familial resemblance to Savathûn, though there was something sharper in their features. 
Ada, in her role as M.C., took to the front of the stage. "Please give a warm welcome to our first performance, the Death Singers."
"Oh — that's, uh, promising? Your family has such accomplished musicians."
"They are talented girls but their style is —'' the first drumbeats started, shortly accompanied by a crunchy, guttural lick from the guitar, "—experimental." The lead leaned in close and belted out a shrieky vocal, loud enough to peak the mic. Both Savathûn and Lavinia reflexively flinched at the sound.  "Highly so."
The ensuing piece of music could be generously characterized as "harsh" and "atonal", less politely as "unlistenable" and "headache-inducing". Ir Halak and Ir Anûk traded off vocals throughout the set, and Lavinia found them perfectly matched not only in appearance but also intolerability. 
When they finally reached the end of their performance, a hesitant, obligatory round of applause fizzled from the crowd — excluding the next performer, who arose to his feet clapping and cheering. The girls waved and smiled at him as they gathered their gear and exited stage. 
The attrition rate among the audience was impressively low, but Lavinia wondered if Toland would change that. The pallid older man was a regular guest, spending hours sitting at different tables, sometimes tapping away at his typewriter but mostly getting into Diogenian debates with other customers. Savathûn permitted him to stay because his coffee habit provided her a reliable source of income. They often wondered what he actually did and could find no other explanation than this. Context clues pointed at a well-to-do wife who supported his unemployment, but not the Cafe. 
"Our next guest needs no introduction. Give it up for Toland, The Shattered, who will share a piece of his poetry—?" Ada enunciated the word as more as a question than statement, "— with us."
Lavinia was just glad he wasn't singing tonight. His timbre was almost as jarring as the twins'. 
"HUSH THE MOON. HUSH THE NIGHT. HUSH THE DARKNESS . . . HUSH, THE LIGHT . . ." If nothing else, she was impressed by the way he seemed to be able to speak in small-caps. He paced about the stage like a caged dog, delivering a performance that might've been pretentious if it wasn't utterly sincere. Some watched in transfixed or baffled silence, while others got up to refill their drinks at the bar. 
As more applause rippled through the crowd, and others gathered their things to leave, Ada approached the mic. "I didn't think anyone could find a rhyme for 'ouroboros', but you have a way with words. 
"Our next presenter is a sleight-of-hand magician—"
"That's 'illusionist', ma'am," the man waiting at stage-right drawled. He was decked out in a sequined suit of teal and green with a prominent snake motif, cowboy hat in hand.
" — Illusionist from the Tower Annex. Let's all welcome Eli—"
He shook his head.
"Wu Ming?"
"It's Germaine now. Legal reasons."
"Ah — well, let's all welcome Germaine, and his thrilling coin gambit—"
"Okay I'm out," Lavinia finally folded, gathering up her purse and books in one hand, and coffee in the other. "G'night Sav."
"Truly, you live up to your title," Savathûn replied, poking at her 'Lucky' nickname. "Goodnight Lavinia."

Chapter 2: Crystal Ball’s Dream
Narrated by no one.
Narrator: Officials line up in two rows in the Meeting Hall and show the Queen the steps they’ve been practicing all night.
Gray-Bearded Minister: As the snow dances, for 6 months the ski race around the city has pranced; it’s kicking up wind and dust in a blast, an historical record in its own class...
Gray-Bearded Minister: Under the eyes of the masses, who will come out ahead in the final laps?
White Hat Minister: The crochet color dance, is an art of ours most advanced; capturing all in our snowy expanse, not a single repeat can be glanced...
White Hat Minister: As new applications arrive in sacks, who shall join the Crochet Society, perchance?
White Coat Minister: The curtains are drawn for our festival of cants, 224 times blessed by the god of romance; reading poetry requires going into a trance, giving the perfect gift with a perfect chant...
White Coat Minister: Please play the Rime, the second waltz from Noddley’s Winter.
Narrator: The official waves for a sheepskin carpet to roll out all the way to the door. As if on cue, the royal band begins to play. The combinations of rhythm and recital continue until noon.
Narrator: After all officials have departed, the queen calls the crystal ball forward as usual in her search for clues to the missing magic stone.
Erika: From spring to wood, to horizon and the heart of snow... All-seeing eye, help me find the lost magic stone.
Narrator: The soft singing caresses the ball. It glows faintly with images of desolate locations.
Narrator: Just like every other day, there is no response from the magic stone.
Narrator: The crystal ball hears the queen’s quiet sigh and stops glowing to reflect her beautiful but sorrowful face.
Narrator: There are only a few pieces scattered on the chessboard nearby. The White Queen returns them to their proper place one by one, but cannot recall where the missing pieces have gone.
Erika: Why do I always lose the important things...?
Narrator: She recalls when the Red Queen would play her in chess regularly, years ago, though it was actually Red’s Servant of the Void that moved the pieces.
Erinka: How long until the game is over? I’m bored.
Narrator: The Red Queen urged on the velvet sofa, tapping her red heels on the marble floor.
Narrator: The White Queen was slow with her moves, but each one was meticulously planned. The Servant of the Void found itself on the losing end and tugged its master’s red dress for help.
Erinka: Losing again? Fine. I see that only I can beat my clever little sister!
Erika: You’re not going to do that again, are you?
Erinka: “The Queen’s Waltz!”
Narrator: The Red Queen picked up the black queen and moved it around the board at will. Soon, the white queen piece is taken for a ride around the board.
Erinka: I have ensnared your queen! I win!
Erika: Quit it! That’s against the rules. You’re cheating.
Narrator: The Red Queen dropped the piece, grabbed the White Queen, and spun her once around.
Erinka: Fine, no more playing. Queen don’t show up at balls solo. Are you just going to keep me cooped up in a room now that I’m finally here?
Erika: You’re right. Let’s go practice dancing then.
Narrator: That Starsnow, Red Castle was filled with the scent of all sorts of desserts. Gingerbread queens are sold in pairs in shops along the street.
Narrator: Jingles rang in the square of White Castle. It was the ice chipper, carving ice sculptures of the two queens.
Narrator: While the Red Castle craftsmen and White Castle vendors kept busy, they happily hummed...
~~
The wind, fire, and grass
Can’t hold a candle to Erinka’s steps.
Snowballs, plaster, and glass
Are leagues from Erika’s melodies.
The girls foretold embrace the magic stones
And bind the cities on either shore.
We crown them with gold
And laud them day and night.
The queen dances to music of her own
And the queen’s hymns can be sung by all.
~~
Narrator: Poets wrote legends and children sang songs about the twin queens, but it’s a long story if you start at the beginning.

Untitled (“Let me like littering its skirts, its homicidal”)
A sonnet sequence
               1
Oh! Purer life, she’s got upon the little this mighty fuss just as loved there. Let me like littering its skirts, its homicidal eyes—saying power? I faint, before than even if unremember, who mends of a syllable too, for his truth: he has gather’d the world in sight with time to habit—there in this explaining dried heavy-fruited heaven.

-
The old ruins hadn’t shown a single sign of life as he’d approached, but even so, Janus couldn’t shake the eerie feeling of being watched.
He pulled on his horse’s reins as they finally reached the desiccated front gateway, the old stone arch crumbling and pitted in several places.
The heavy wooden doors that had once stood proudly to grant entrance were now reduced to slabs of half-rotted wood, leaned against either side of the archway like they’d been pulled from their hinges and simply set aside. Or torn from their hinges, Janus reflected as he noted the shallow gouges in the wood, as though something heavy and armored with sharp scales had plowed right past the twin doors as easily as an arrow through flesh.
Yes, this was almost certainly where the dragon was.
The thought sent a panicked thrill down his spine, an instinctual ‘what-are-you-doing’ bolt of adrenaline that he normally heeded quite well, since that swift retreat usually ended up preventing his untimely demise.
Not this time.
He dismounted his horse, well aware that taking even a guard-trained horse into a dragon’s lair was practically requesting that one’s steed get surprise-barbecued.
Also, there was a large, hand painted sign planted in front of the gate with ‘NO HORSES’ written on it in bold, bright red lettering. There was even an accompanying simplistic painting of a horse crossed out underneath it, presumably for the more illiterate knights out there.
With one last pat to his mount’s snout, he turned, double-checked his armor and supplies, and promptly strode through the gates.
The moment his foot landed in dragon territory, he let a thick veil of composure fall down around himself, smoothing out his brow and lightening his pace so that his face and body alike betrayed no sign of apprehension.
He’d truly need to sell it, if he wanted to make it out of this with both himself and his errant charge alive. There was no place for the truth here, and luckily, Janus was far more accomplished than most in the art of lies.
So, when he reached the entrance to the stone tower ahead and immediately heard the low, ground-shaking thump of something extremely heavy landing in the open courtyard behind him, he didn’t jump, or even let his hand slip to the hilt of his sword.
Allowing himself a deep inhale, he turned to face the beast behind him.
The dragon was in its more humanoid form, surprisingly enough, with coiffed hair and an elegant set of clothes. Janus had no idea why; it was hardly an effective disguise. If the leathery wings protruding from its back, curved horns erupting from the crown of its head, and slit, narrow pupils all failed to clue one in to its true nature, the fact that it was as tall as the tower before it certainly did the trick.
The dragon’s lips curled back into a mockery of a smile, and there was another sign— Janus would wager only a dragon could fit that many fangs into one vicious grin.
“Well, well, I see I have yet another little knight, trespassing on my territory,” the dragon rumbled grandly, still holding the crouch it had landed in as though ready to lunge forward at any moment. “To what do I owe the dubious honor, Sir Lancenot?”
Janus resisted the urge to twitch an incredulous eyebrow at the name-calling, reminding himself firmly that there was no space for mockery in this plan. At least, not until he’d successfully pulled the rescue off.
“Oh, marvelous and most keen lord of these lands,” he began, making sure his own expression was shaped into something suitably admiring, “I am Deacon, a member of the Royal Guard, here on behalf of the Kingdom of Tempest, seeking your counsel on a matter most vital.”
The dragon blinked, and Janus couldn’t help but be grateful that it had chosen to wear a more human face— it was far easier to read than a reptilian one, though of course Janus would have managed either way. “My… counsel?”
Janus nodded rapidly, maintaining his faux eagerness.
“Ohoho, how interesting.” An intent glint appeared in its gaze, and it leaned closer, its enormous shadow falling over Janus like an invisible shroud. One clawed hand twitched in a way that made Janus’s heart kick up in tempo. “Strangely, I didn’t get the impression that a friendly chat was the reason the last few knights of Tempest deigned to darken my doorstep.”
The subtle accusation rolled off Janus without a single shudder or pause. He was well-aware that the other knights had gone charging in, swords drawn, prepared to risk a fiery death to retrieve their missing prince. He knew because they had all come back alive, surprisingly enough. It was one of many reasons he’d committed himself to this insane rescue attempt.
“A simple misunderstanding, the lower ranks tend to jump to conclusions so quickly these days,” Janus demurred, waving a hand as though brushing the matter aside. “I was sent to smooth things over, as their superior, and thank you on their behalf for your graciousness in sparing their lives.”
They’d all survived to report back to him, about the ruins layout and the surrounding landscape and the dragon’s alarming penchant for toying with intruders.
“‘Smooth things over,’” the dragon echoed, attention entirely ensnared now. “What an entirely unexpected way for a kingdom’s representative to respond to the heir apparent being stolen away!”
There was something wickedly amused in its voice that made the back of Janus’s neck prickle, but he refused to let the beast see him hesitate.
“You’ll find we’re a rather unique kingdom, and that our heir apparent is perhaps, not as valuable to certain powers there alive as he would be dead.”
The unfortunate thing was, his words weren’t particularly far from the truth. It had taken Janus a mere handful of days in the kingdom’s service to learn that the prince’s aunt was far from happy with the current line of succession, and often demonstrated her displeasure through as many avenues as she feasibly could.
Avenues that included attempted assassinations, he’d discovered after foiling a fair handful of them each passing month. The job had proved far more intensive than the cushy ‘royal guard’ position he’d been promised, especially since every attempt he countered had to be kept quiet. He couldn’t allow the risk of a public uproar, of being replaced as the prince’s primary protector, until he could ensure Lady Arescet was no longer a threat.
And then, right when he’d been about to enact a plan to ensure exactly that, his ward had been plucked up by a dragon, of all creatures. Truly, his idiot prince had no idea how lucky he was that he’d so thoroughly endeared himself to Janus.
“Is that so,” the dragon replied, a victorious chime to its voice. “And to think, I expected a king’s ransom! Why, whoever could have been clever and bold enough to anticipate this turn of events!”
Janus did pause shortly this time, thrown off his rhythm. Most dragons would be fuming by now, enraged by the news that they’d picked an out-of-favor royal to kidnap and thus wouldn’t be receiving their customary ransom for their hostage’s safe return. Here, however, there was absolutely no sign of the irritation Janus had anticipated. The beast didn’t even seem disgruntled.
Before he could say anything else, the dragon leaned forwards, placing two giant hands on either side of the ground where Janus stood. With the slightest motion, its claws dragged deep furrows into the ground. It took everything in him not to twitch and give the game away.
“And I suppose you– or your distinguished employer, more likely– have some meaningful method to make it up to me?” the dragon theorized, as though it had expected this all along.
“I know it must come as a shock,” Janus started anyhow, attempting to drag the current mess back on-script, “but– yes. You suppose correctly. You’ll get nothing of worth from the kingdom, but my superior is willing to pay for you to release him to my custody.”
“Ah, because you wouldn’t want a more fortuitous knight to steal him from my clutches and drag an inconvenient loose end all the way back to power.” The dragon had lost some of its amusement, though there was still a vicious glint to those eyes. “If getting rid of the puny prince is so important, I could simply make him disappear myself. With far more ease than you, I’d imagine.”
“No,” Janus’s mouth uttered without his permission, the reply much too fast to be natural. He made an airy gesture to cover his slip. “Rather, that won’t be necessary. My lady might require… knowledge from the prince, so killing him immediately would be hasty. For your reward, the only service we require of you is turning him over to us.”
“Your lady?” Those hands were sliding closer. The dragon’s voice dipped with faux-shock. “Why, you couldn’t possibly mean your employer is Tempest’s very own Lady Arescet?”
“Not… necessarily,” Janus tried, but the denial sounded weak, even to himself. “The identity of my benefactor is irrelevant, and even if it wasn’t, the kingdom of Tempest would naturally prefer that the squabbles of the royal family remain a secret.”
His heart was racing wildly, the thump of it loud in his ears, and though his mouth ran automatically, a litany of swears occupied his mind. These weren’t the questions he had expected to be asked, nor the emotions he had prepared to counter or placate. How had things spiraled out of control so quickly?
“I do believe they have a saying about secrets and their keepers,” the dragon rumbled theatrically, and then it was moving, a talon-tipped hand catching Janus in a crushing grip that forced all the air from his lungs.
Before it could do worse, though, the wards on his armor sparked, and the dragon dropped him right back onto the ground with a hiss, shaking his hand out.
“What in all the realms was that?” it demanded, sounding deeply offended that Janus had dared to come to it prepared for an attempt on his life, such as the one it had literally just tried. “The other knights didn’t do that!”
The other knights weren’t trying to con a dragon, Janus thought but didn’t say, mostly because he was still struggling to suck air back into his lungs.
“He’s pretty different from the other knights,” a familiar voice drawled, and Janus’s gaze flicked over to where he could see a familiar, eyeshadow-donning face poking out from one of the tower’s windows. “Isn’t that right, Jan?”
“Virgil,” Janus tried to say, not sure whether he would sound relieved or surprised or exasperated or some odd mixture of the three. In the end, it came out like a strangled whisper.
“Jan? His name is Deacon, Prince Pouty,” the dragon was saying, its tone too familiar for a kidnapper speaking to a victim. “You should at least be able to tell members of your personal guard apart!”
“Dea– Janus, seriously?” Virgil was giving him a Look. Janus closed his eyes to avoid it, breathing deeply. “What was Deacon supposed to do when an entire dragon dropped by to exact retribution over whatever stupid scheme you were about to try?”
“Die, probably,” Janus muttered, because his sympathy for that particular fellow guard had withered down to dust by the fourth time he’d ‘accidentally’ let an assassin get way too close to the prince’s chambers for comfort.
The dragon interrupted, brow drawn in confusion. “Wait, you know this malicious malefactor? This treasonous transgressor? This– this slimy scoundrel?!”
“Yup.” Virgil had propped his chin up in one hand. “Can’t say I was expecting him to come all the way out here, though.”
Janus felt his heart sink. Virgil had been listening in, which meant he’d heard Janus pretend to be under the thumb of Lady Arescet, and even if he survived the dragon now, he’d have to flee the kingdom–
The dragon threw its hands up dramatically. “Don’t you get it, Dark and Stormy? This is the one we’ve been waiting for, the one who was setting up your abduction for your vile, villainous aunt!”
Virgil snorted. “Janus isn’t working for my aunt, Roman.”
‘Roman’ stared at Virgil, incredulity and disbelief warring on the dragon’s face. Janus imagined that his own expression wasn’t much different. “He just admitted to it!”
“He was lying, you overgrown lizard,” Virgil climbed up onto the stone sill of the window, his hand anchored to the side of the tower wall to keep his balance. “Janus was the one who handled the last five assassins my aunt sent. If he was working for her, he would’ve just ignored them.”
“You knew?” Janus’s voice jolted up in pitch, unable to conceal his surprise.
“Dear Aunt Cetty has been trying to off me since I was like, eleven,” Virgil replied dryly. “I know an assassination attempt when I see one.”
In rapid succession, Janus recalled several particularly stressful moments that he’d had to deal with because of his prince’s overt, near-obnoxious obliviousness, obliviousness that had apparently been feigned all along.
“I’m going to throttle you,” Janus informed Virgil, “Dragon or no dragon.”
Roman growled, a low, reptilian croak that made every hair on Janus’s body stand up, but Virgil only grinned at him like the asshole he was.
“Nuh-uh, it’s too late. You came to rescue me from a dragon because you care about me, now I know that your threats are all hot air,” he retorted, unbearably smug in his teasing. “Ro, gimme a hand, will you?”
Roman grumbled something indistinct under its– his breath, and Janus watched, disbelieving, as Virgil stepped lightly onto the giant’s hand, dropping into a crouch as the dragon expertly ferried him to the ground below, as though the two of them had done this hundreds of times.
Janus barely managed to avoid gaping, but Virgil laughed at him anyway.
“Roman’s a childhood friend,” he informed Janus, as though that sentence was in any way reasonable. “His mom kidnapped my mom once and they ended up getting along well enough to stay in touch. People think he looks intimidating now, but I’ve seen him fly right into a tree and knock half his baby teeth out.”
“Virgil,” Roman groaned, setting a fingertip against Virgil’s face as though to stall any more embarrassing youthful anecdotes. “I should have left you to get abducted by your aunt’s goons.”
“But you didn’t,” Virgil replied, gleeful and only a little muffled. “Now suffer the consequences.”
“There was another assassination attempt planned?” Janus asked, trying to ignore the brain-breaking concept of a royal toddler and a baby dragon being playmates.
“An abduction,” Roman corrected haughtily. “I heard a rumor about it, some goon bragging about a plan to whisk Virgil away to some secondary location! Naturally, I wasn’t about to let that wicked witch have her way.”
An abduction plan wasn’t Lady Arescet’s style, though. She’d never shied from sending assassins directly into the castle before, why–?
Janus nearly choked on his next breath. “Oh.”
“Oh?” Virgil echoed, blatantly curious.
“Oh?” Roman also echoed, blatantly suspicious.
“It’s possible that, perhaps, just maybe, possibly… that was actually my goon,” Janus elaborated, putting on a show of sheepishness.
“Your goon.” Virgil was slowly raising one eyebrow. “For your abduction plot.”
“Potentially,” Janus replied. “Look, I needed you out of the way so Arescet would get sloppy, and a forceful relocation seemed like the simplest way to do it!”
“You arranged the abduction… of your own prince,” Roman said, voice dripping with too much judgment for someone who had recently kidnapped his childhood friend.
“It made sense at the time!” Janus snapped. “I already had several plots and even more elaborate machinations in place– It’s almost like someone decided not to tell me he knew about all the attempts on his life all along!”
“It was funny,” was Virgil’s remorseless defense. “Worth it.”
“So… I didn’t actually need to sit around by this boring tower waiting for some mystery perpetrator to show up?” Janus’s nod was wary, but Roman only let out a long exhale, wings drooping with relief. “Thank the stars, I was so sick of lazing around.”
“I wasn’t,” contributed Virgil, who had routinely avoided his political duties by handing them off to Janus and finding a dark cellar to lurk in. “This was great. Relaxing. Ten out of ten, would get held hostage again.”
“Oh, stop it!” Roman preened at the unorthodox praise. “Just you wait. I know the perfect place for a field trip, we can finally do something fun!”
“...Fun?” Virgil repeated, dubious.
“We?” Janus repeated, incredulous.
Going by the shark-like smile they got in return, they certainly weren’t going to be returning to the castle any time soon. Janus silently mourned the imminent destruction of his more time-sensitive plots and schemes. (Virgil less-silently mourned the end of his time lounging around in a musty old tower.)
In the end, his rescue attempt had failed just as badly as Roman’s assassination-foiling attempt. Despite their rocky start, the two of them almost immediately found common ground in blaming Virgil for it all.
("Still worth it.")
When he’d walked into the ruins, he’d believed that his plot failing would mean his death.
As it turned out, being abducted by this particular dragon was far less lethal– and far more entertaining– than he could’ve guessed.

Some Thought on Gwyn - Part 1
For the record, Gwyn, is hands down, my favorite character in ACOSF.  Solid character backstory & development; some interesting nuggets dropped about her powers and parentage (that clearly means there is more to her than meets the eye); plus - I just love a smart, spunky, sarcastic, red-headed heroine. 
I hope she gets more page time, and that her character gets to be more than,  Nesta’s spunky, BFF.  It seems given the amount of page time dedicated to her in ACOSF and the little breadcrumb trail that SMJ planted in the pages that there will be more on Gwyn to come.   Here are some thoughts and theories, I have on Gwyn’s continued story:  
GWYN’s PARENTAGE:  I’m thinking that Gwyn’s GRANDFATHER is Eris.  This has likely been discussed elsewhere - I’m sure I’m not the only one to think it.  But here are my reasonings: 
- Gwyn says her Grandma seduced a noble in the Autumn Court.  This noble was a young, Eris.   Eris, is the same age, if not even older than the rest of the IC.  He could totally have a grandkid that’s 28 years old.  Additionally, I think Eris’s relationship with Gwyn’s Gran and the birth of their daughter, happened several years even before he was engaged to Mor. 
- Eris (SMJ) has left us a breadcrumb trail of clues that lead me to believe that he’s fathered a child - but that he’s being super secret about it.  
1.) In ACOSF when Eris says to Rhy he’d give him anything he wants for Nesta’s hand.  Rhys toys with him saying “Anything....including your first born.”  Eris replies, “Not my first born...but anything else.”  On the surface level, you could read that and think: Eris is just being a territorial Fae male, protecting any future progeny.   But, I think SMJ put that exchange in there, intentionally. Com’on?!?  She could of had Rhy jokingly ask for anything (i.e. your beloved hounds, or all the money in the Autumn Court Vault, The Crown Jewels of Autumn etc.) But, instead she specifically had him jokingly asked for his first-born?  Why?!?  I think she’s dropping us a clue.  Eris already has a first-born. I think Eris’s response isn’t about a theoretical, future child at all - but the (illegitimate) child he already has.  I think Eris knows about this child - and so his response is actually about him protecting her, and refusing to give her up.  (Awww...Eris, you do have a heart!)
2.). In ACOFAS Eris and Mor have an argument about their history and specifically in regards to his actions of leaving Mor where her parents dumped her on the edge of the Autumn Court. Eris cryptically says to the Inner Court “Perhaps one day I’ll tell you the whole story....and what it cost me.”  I don’t know why Eris didn’t do more to help MOR - but I do think it’s interesting that his actions COST him something!?!?  We’ve gotten the story so many times from Mor/IC’s POV -  that we’ve all been conditioned to think that Eris was the villain. He left Mor in the woods, and went back to his happy life at Court.  But what if that’s not true?  What if Beron still wanted Eris to go thru with match, because he wanted the tie to the Court of Nightmares.  Beron is bullish about what he wants, and I just get the vibe that he wouldn’t really give a shit about whether Mor was a virgin or not.  I think Eris used Mor’s loss of virginity, as a way to get himself out of a match that neither he or Mor wanted.  And I think when he made the choice to do this, Beron was pissed!  So he punish Eris.  We know from Lucien’s backstory that Beron punishes his sons when they don’t do exactly as he wishes.  And we know that Beron’s  punishments are cruel and vindictive - they focus on taking-away and destroying the thing his sons’ love most.  I think the cost of Eris’s action in the Mor fiasco, was that he lost his daughter.   I think Beron banished Eris’s daughter (Gwyn’s mom) from their family home and the Autumn Court.  I think Beron, also forbid Eris to have any contact or to see her ever again.  
I think Cass is right -  I think that underneath it all Eris is a good male, but he’s too weak to stand-up to his bully of a father.  I think Eris likely did love and care for his daughter.  I think he was trying to do the right thing by bringing her up, and that she was living with him in his families home.  (Gwyn said that her mother was too wild for the Autumn House - that would be Eris’ family home.)  I think it’s likely that Eris knows very little of what became of his daughter.  He might not know she had twin girls.  He might not know that he’s a grandfather.  I think that was the cost.  He lost his first-born.  
(Side Note:  I think Eris having been punished by his father in this way, having gone through this loss is why Eris helped Lucien escape the Autumn Court, after Beron killed his lover.  I think Eris felt a true sympathy for his brother’s loss - as it echoed his own.) 
I’m thinking that the reason any of this is important, is that Gwyn will play a HUGE part in Eris’s redemption-arc.  We can feel that SMJ is building-up to a redemption story for Eris.  There might be something in which Eris recognizing what/who she is to him, sacrifices himself to save her.  I think that would be something that would restore him in the eyes of the Inner Circle - who despite working with him, still hate his guts for what he did to Mor.  Or maybe, Mor will  stop dancing around the subject and just confess to everything that happened between them, which will prompt Eris to also admit “to the cost.”   And the IC who know Gwyn will put 1 + 1 together.

Double The Surprise
MASTERLIST
Prequel to Thing 1 and Thing 2
Surprise! A new fic, two days in a row? I know, who am I? This was an anon request to do a gender reveal party of the twins from Thing 1 and Thing 2, so I made it sort of a prequel. I’ve linked the fic in case you haven’t read it. One thing to note, I included Diana, but in a more normal state so no Alzheimer's or schizophrenia. I’ve wanted to write something where she was free of any illnesses, so I added her in this like that. Besides, she’d DEFINITELY be there. Also, take a shot every time I say pink and blue, lord I was getting tired of saying that myself so sorry about that. Enjoy some Spencer and the team cuteness. Happy reading!

You knew it was a mistake to let Penelope be in charge.
Not that she was bad at it at all, in fact she was wonderful. But when she had a secret that she actually wanted to keep a surprise, her lips were sealed tighter than your old jeans.
Penelope Garcia—the technical analyst at the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit and your husband, Spencer Reid’s teammate, coworker and friend—was the best at planning parties. Which is how she had gotten you and Spencer excited about the idea of a potential gender reveal party for the baby you and Spencer were expecting this fall.
You were currently 21 weeks and a bit larger than normal, although your doctor wasn’t worried. She had explained it could be due to the baby being bigger—your husband was over 6 feet after all—or perhaps you were a bit further along in your pregnancy than she first thought. Either way, at the last appointment, she had assured you that everything was looking fine.
The last appointment was also when you were able to find out the sex of the baby. 
Since you and Spencer really wanted to have a gender reveal party with your friends and the other team members of the BAU, you had invited Garcia to come along to the appointment. She would be informed of the sex and also have the results handed to her in a manila envelope, for the baker who would create the cake.
You were regretting your decision though because you were currently dying to know what baby Reid would be. It was amazing though, Garcia hadn’t even breathed the hint of a clue.
She was the worst person to keep a secret, so it was ironic when she refused to give into your pleading.
The gender reveal party was going to be this upcoming weekend, still a few days away and you were struggling with the anticipation.
The party details and planning helped curb your desire to know, though.
When Garcia had first suggested the idea, not long after you and Spencer announced your pregnancy, you were slightly hesitant about it. You didn’t know much about them or if anyone would even come. With the help of Penelope and her promise to take care of everything, you started coming around to the idea.
She was an excellent party planner because even though she took care of everything, she left plenty of room for you and Spencer to decide on details and things you wanted. Many nights were spent laying in bed, the two of you looking at gender reveal party ideas on Pinterest.
You actually thought Spencer was more excited for this party then you were. It was nice to know he was just as excited for it, though.
“Do you think she’d cave and tell us what we’re having if we surprise her with a red velvet cupcake?” you’d asked Spencer, one night that week.
“It’d probably be tempting for her, but I doubt it,” he answered you, “In fact, I’m surprised she’s kept quiet this long. She’s the worst at keeping secrets.”
“I know. I had her pegged to tell us within a day,” you huffed.
Spencer chuckled, kissing your head.
“Just think, it will be worth the wait when we find out what we’re having on Saturday.”
Surprisingly, Saturday did come rather fast. Although at the same time, it felt like eons to you. 
You were bursting with excitement for the party, which was to be held at David Rossi’s house.
Garcia had given you and Spencer strict instructions to not arrive until after 2 pm. She, with the help of her boyfriend Luke Alvez we’re going to be setting up everything for the party to keep the final display a surprise as well.
You were just as eager to wear the new outfit that Garcia had bought for you to wear—she really had thought of everything.
You had to admit, the ensemble was pretty cute.
You’d dressed in the sleeveless maxi dress that was designed in an alternating pink and blue chevron style and white flats that were partially hidden by the long skirt of the dress. Your bump was fully on display in the outfit, but it just made the dress seem even cuter.
It also helped that it was extremely comfy as well.
The finishing touch for the outfit was a flower crown. Yes, a flower crown. Garcia went all out when she did things, that’s for sure. 
It was a thin band of flowers that sat nicely on your head. One side was decorated with pink flowers while the other half had blue. With the entire outfit complete, you had to admit, Garcia definitely had picked a cute ensemble.
Spencer had come in just as you’d finished getting ready and whistled, making you blush.
“Why if it isn’t the sexiest baby mama around,” he grinned slyly, wrapping his arms around you from behind, “You look beautiful, Y/N.”
“You look rather charming yourself,” you chuckled.
His appearance wasn’t that much different than it was from his work attire. His suit pants and dress shirt were the same as usual, but Garcia had gotten him a pink and blue chevron tie to match your dress.
“Not exactly something I’d wear every day, but I like it,” he smiled, “Ready to find out what our baby is?”
“More than ever.”
The first thing you saw when entering Rossi’s backyard was a sign on the iron gate door to his backyard. 
There were a handful of pink and blue cardboard, cutout circles hanging on the gate door, along with a pink and blue cutout onesie that said We’re here for the sex. It made you laugh. This definitely had Garcia written all over it.
“I’m sure Rossi is thrilled with that hanging on his gate door,” Spencer laughed.
He took your hand and pushed the gate open into a pink and blue wonderland. 
You gasped as the two of you walked further into the backyard. Not only was the actual decorations and set up amazing, but the turnout was just as shocking.
The entire team was there; Emily Prentiss, Matt Simmons, his wife Kristy and all five kids—you’d specifically told Penelope that all the BAU kids were welcomed, you had a special place in your heart for them, just as she did.
JJ was there with her husband Will and her two boys Henry and Michael. Tara Lewis was there as well, always ready for a get together. Of course David Rossi was there as well with his third wife Krystall that he’d recently married again.
Luke and Penelope were of course in attendance, but what surprised you most was seeing the unexpected and surprise guests that Garcia had most definitely arranged to show up.
Former Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner was there with Jack, who was now taller than you. They both greeted you with a hug and their congratulations. Jack said he was mostly excited for cake and you couldn’t argue with that.
Derek Morgan, wife Savannah and little Hank Spencer Morgan had made it too. These kids were growing faster than you would like because now little Hank was 4 quickly approaching 5.
“Pretty boy!” Morgan greeted, hugging Spencer tightly, “It’s about time you became a father.”
You greeted Savannah and Hank, who was in his mother’s arms, suddenly a lot shyer than normal. After speaking to them both for a minute, they too went back to socializing with the others.
What was most surprising was seeing your parents and Spencer’s mom, Diana Reid.
“Mom! Dad!” you exclaimed, hugging them.
“Mom!” Spencer said, hugging Diana, “I’m so glad you could make it.”
“You think I was going to miss my grandbaby’s first party? I think not,” she grinned.
After greeting your parents, you hugged Diana yourself.
“It’s so good to see you Mrs. Reid,” you kissed her cheek.
It had been a little bit since you’d last traveled to Las Vegas with Spencer to visit her, not long after you’d married. Before that, you’d seen her at the wedding.
“Oh honey, you know I told you to call me Diana,” she beamed, “You’re the Mrs. Reid around here. How are you feeling?”
She rubbed a hand across your belly and you smiled.
“Feeling rather large, if I do say so myself,” you chuckled.
“Well there’s a good reason for that,” she winked, making your brows furrow in confusion.
Garcia was just on her way over to the three of you as Diana spoke and suddenly, she sped up, rushing over.
“Diana! How about I get you some punch and refreshments!” Garcia exclaimed, leading Diana away.
She turned to you and Spencer as she led his mother away.
“Take some time and look around before we do the reveal!” Garcia hollered.
“Come on, I wanna check things out,” you told Spencer.
You were beaming so big that he couldn’t help but chuckle and indulge you. He was pretty curious to check out everything too.
First off, there were pink and blue balloons everywhere. 
At the table where the food and refreshments were at, were gold letter balloons that spelled out the phrase Oh baby. 
The actual food spread was rather impressive too. There were finger sandwiches of chicken salad, turkey and ham, mixed nuts, vegetable plates with dip and of course, much to your delight was Alvez’s homemade salsa and guacamole, along with chips to dip. You’d be eating good this afternoon, that’s for sure.
The sweets were all gender themed, which was an adorable touch.
There were blue and pink chocolate covered strawberries, blue and pink cake pops—a mustache on the blue cake pop sticks and a bow on the pink ones—and hilariously enough, there were M&Ms in two bowls. One with peanuts were labeled Nuts and the other with plain was labeled No Nuts, hence the mystery of the baby’s sex.
“That’s ingenious,” Spencer commented, laughing, grabbing a handful of some.
There were blue plates with matching napkins and pink plates with pink napkins, along with alternating blue and pink jars that held the opposing color of plastic ware in them. 
At the very end of the refreshments table sat two huge glass jugs with spigots filled with blue and pink drinks. The blue was named Bouncing Blue Punch whereas the pink was Sweet Pink Lemonade.
“Wow, Luke and Penelope really went all out,” you gaped, amazed.
“And you haven’t even seen the best parts,” Garcia said, seemingly appearing out of thin air next to you, “Come on!”
She tugged on your arm excitedly, dragging you to another section of the party. You laughed, trying to keep up with her, looking behind you at a grinning Spencer who was following behind the two of you.
The first thing she had to show you, made you tear up thanks to the damn pregnancy hormones.
It was a canvas of animals in a little hot air balloon and the “balloons” were made up of thumbprints from all the guests, in the color of their guess of the baby’s gender. Even the kids had all done one.
There were a variety of pink and blue thumbprints, each one signed by the person. At the bottom of the canvas it read: Oh the places you’ll go.
“We all made our guesses and I put this together a week ago so it would be dry and ready to display for today,” Garcia beamed.
“I love it,” you said, your hand covering your mouth, still shocked at how beautiful it was, “Spence, this is going up in the nursery for sure.”
“Definitely,” he nodded, looking at it himself.
“This is amazing. Thank you, Garcia,” you breathed.
“Oh honey, we’re just getting started on the tour. Come on, there’s more to see.”
The next display was another interactive guessing game.
This was a chalkboard that read Twinkle, Twinkle, little star. How we wonder what you are!
One side of the board represented the boy votes and the other represented the girl votes.
“This is where everyone was able to vote as they came in with their guess,” she said.
You looked closer. So far a girl was winning by two.
“I also included two more interactive little games,” Garcia said, leading you to two more chalkboards.
One had Guess The Date written on it and the entire month of September written out. Your due date was approximately September 25th, which was listed at the top and sticky notes covered the dates of different attendee’s guesses on when the baby would arrive.
“Oh that is super cute,” you laughed.
Your eyes scanned over the numerous guesses.
Some had guessed as early as September 6th and others had guessed as late as September 30th.
“Pinterest, I’m telling you,” Garcia quipped.
The next board had a list of girls and boys names. Underneath the board and easel on each side was a basket, in the matching colors, slips of paper inside.
“This here is where the guests have tried to guess what your number one name for a boy and a girl is,” Garcia explained.
“So that explains why you asked for our top name for a boy and a girl,” Spencer mused.
“Yup.”
You looked at each column. There were a total of five names on each side.
The boys’ column included:
Carl
Aidan
Luke
Alexander
Matthew
The girls’ column included:
Daisy
Abrielle
Gabriella
Penelope
Paige
“Penelope? Luke?” you chuckled.
“Hey, for all they know you could be naming a kid after us!” she protested.
You smiled, seeing yours and Spencer’s top two picks on the lists—Abrielle for a girl or Alexander for a boy.
“Last but not least,” Garcia beamed, “You gotta see the cake. It’s amazing.”
The three of you walked to a table in the middle of the party where there were two chairs and a cake resting on the table.
“Obviously since it’s baby Reid, you two will be the center of attention,” Penelope said.
On the table was a beautiful cake decorated with blue and pink icing roses. One side was strictly pink roses and the other blue. The finishing touch was the various sized edible pearls that had been delicately placed in the center of each flower.
You audibly gasped.
“Penelope, it’s gorgeous!”
“Isn’t it though? I was in awe when I picked it up,” she commented.
“So the inside will be the reveal, right?” Spencer asked.
“Yes sir,” she smiled, “You guys ready to find out the gender?”
“Yes, please!”
You were practically bouncing on your heels like a child eagerly awaiting candy.
“First, I wanted to give you guys a little gift,” Garcia said, rushing over to the table where Luke sat, holding a gift bag.
“Garcia, you know we said no gifts!” you protested.
“Yeah, I know. But you know me,” she scurried back over, handing you the bag, “I can’t keep huge secrets.”
“What are you talking about?” you laughed, opening the bag.
Inside was a simple, cute, white baby onesie.
On the front, it said We’re having a baby! with the word baby scratched out.
“Why’s the word baby crossed out?” Spencer asked, peering over your shoulder at it.
He seemed to be just as puzzled as you were.
“Wait, there’s something else in the bag,” you observed, reaching in to pull out the second object.
It was a second white onesie that read Make that TWO babies!
“I couldn’t keep such a big secret obviously, so I told the entire team and they wanted to chip in on a present to announce it to you—this isn't all the gift though.”
You were stunned beyond belief and absolutely overjoyed.
“Twins?! Spence, did you hear that? We’re having twins!”
You turned to see your husband as white as a ghost, starting to sway.
“I-I-I think I need to sit for a moment,” he stammered, falling into the nearby metal folding chair.
“Spence, you okay?” 
You rushed to his side—as fast as your pregnant body would let you, that.
“Yeah, fine,” he muttered, still looking dazed, “Everything just started spinning there for a moment.”
Garcia was by his side with an unused paper plate, fanning him, just in case he was actually going to pass out.
The rest of the party’s eyes were on the spectacle, all of them clearly amused.
“Who knew the kid could create twins! Even his sperm is brilliant,” Derek hollered.
Everyone laughed at that and the fact that Savannah immediately stuck a sandwich in his mouth to quiet him.
“There are kids here, Derek!” she whispered loudly.
“Twins, huh?” Spencer asked.
The poor thing looked dumbstruck. 
“You sure you’re okay Spencer?” you asked, worried.
It’s like it took him a moment for it to finally sink in because he turned to you, a big grin on his face.
“Y/N, we’re having twins!”
He grabbed your face, kissing you, not caring about all the onlookers. You turned scarlet when he pulled away, a tad bit embarrassed that everyone was watching, but you were just as happy as him, so you couldn’t complain.
“My baby boy is going to have twins,” Diana smiled, coming over to wrap her son in a hug, “I was so excited when I heard that I almost ruined the surprise earlier!”
“Oh so that’s what you meant?” you asked, laughing.
That was definitely a good reason for you to be larger than normal. Your body was home to not one but two babies for the next little while.
“You knew, mom?” Spencer asked.
“Oh of course, Penelope called everyone,” Diana answered.
“You know I can’t keep a secret!” Garcia exclaimed, “This was my biggest one yet! It was the only way I could make it without bursting.”
“Speaking of everyone else,” JJ said, bringing up another, slightly larger gift bag, “This is from all of us, Hotch and Morgan included.”
“You wanna open it?” you asked Spencer.
He shook his head, indicating you could, so you did.
You pulled out a long, wood, plaque that read:
Our family is growing by
4 feet
and
2 hearts 
At the bottom, there was an engraving.
Reid Twins
It was absolutely perfect.
There were definitely tears on your end as you made your rounds hugging everyone and saying your thank yous.
You made your way back to the center table to Garcia, who you gave another huge hug.
“Thank you so much for putting together such an amazing party,” you said.
“It was my pleasure,” she smiled.
“Cut the cake already!” Both Jack and Henry hollered simultaneously, making everyone chuckle.
“I can’t argue with that, now can I?” you responded.
You managed to pull Spencer away from the conversation he was having with some of the guests and you both put your hands on the knife, cutting through the cake. It reminded you of your wedding reception, but this was ten times more exciting; you were expanding your family with the man you were in love with.
The entire backyard counted down.
“THREE!”
You looked over at Spencer, a big smile on your face. At this point, you didn’t think much more could surprise you than the news of having twins.
“TWO!”
He winked at you, silently reassuring you that no matter what the result, you two would raise these babies as a team.
“ONE!”
You both lifted up the slice, revealing a two layer cake; one layer was pink and one was blue.
“It’s a boy and a girl!” Spencer cheered.
You were pretty sure this day couldn’t get any better. 
You and Spencer would soon be welcoming fraternal twins; Abrielle Jade Reid and Spencer Alexander Reid. 
Little Abbie and Alex were going to be incredibly loved.

Soulmark Au with LOTR and Hobbit characters. Part 2
Who’s ready for some character headcannon’s?  Anyone? 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thorin: Thorin is not proud of his soul-mark.  In fact, he hated it for the longest time. His mark is a delicate bouquet of Belladonna blossoms wrapped in a burgundy red ribbon with a dagger nestled in-between the petals.  The flowers seemed to sway and grow on their own accorded.  Hiding the mark was especially difficult during his exiled years.  Often laughed at for have such a strange mark; at one point he debated slashing the mark off of his left arm.  An old human beggar stopped him.  She warned him that if he harmed the mark in any way, that his beloved would be harmed in the same the fashion.  Thorin is many things, but he drew the line at harming his “one” in such a petty act of anger.  Years later a certain hobbit would explain the meaning of his mark and point out the hidden dagger.  Alluding to his “one” being of both natures; delicate and fierce. He gains a new apparition of his mark afterwards.
Bilbo: Bilbo has a shield for their mark. A rather strange shield with twin swords forming a X at its back. From one sword hangs a crown and from the other hangs a blue coat.  At the shield’s center their lies a rune that Bilbo has never been able to properly read.  The ruin seemed to come and go as it pleased.  The crown and coat seemly wonder off from time to time as well.  While traveling with the company, Bilbo picked up some runic signs and finally was able to translate the ruin.  What they found out was less then illuminating.  The ruin was simple a sign of loyalty or maybe royalty.  Bilbo still doesn’t fully know.  
Dwalin: Dwalin’s soul mark is a closely guarded secret, only four people have every seen his mark. The list is limited to his father, his brother, Thorin and Nori; although Nori will NEVER admit to seeing it. It’s located on the small of his back. Dwalin’s mark is a five-pointed star made of knives.  He hates it because he knows exactly what it means and he is very grumpy about it.
Nori: Nori has a soul mark similar to Vili (Dis’s husband) and Biblo.  It’s a wooden shield with twin war hammers behind it that form a X. Along the rim on the shields are runes for strength, bravery and loyalty.   Several people have seen it and he honestly doesn’t care if people do. This pesters Dwalin to no end.  He also knowns exactly what it means and who it’s for.  Nori is very salty about it.
Dis: Dis soul mark is an axe and chisel wrapped with a golden cloth.  Dis was confused by her mark for the longest time.  Its simplicity made it hard to figure out and since most dwarfs are craftsmen of some sort.  It wasn’t until she met Vili in the blue mountains did she finally figure it out.  Dis and Vili met while building up an outpost in the mountains.  She was visiting the outpost with her brothers and Vili was one of the craftsmen.  Strapped to his right arm was a small throwing hatchet and a wooden chisel. After meeting Vili, Dis pestered him weeks until he agreed to a date.
Vili: Vili’s mark is equally as simple as Dis’s mark.  His mark is a wooden shield with a single sword at the top. Within the shield is the runes for love and beauty.  Its located high up on his right arm and is often covered up by his tools or a sleeve. He never believed that he would find his “one” after traveling to the Blue Mountains.  So many died during the journey and the chances of him finding his “one” were slim.  Then came Dis, daughter of Thain son of Thor. After a chance meeting while working on a project the pesky exiled princess would hardly give him a monuments rest. Vili lasted for three weeks before finally giving in to her demands for a date.  
Fili: Like his mother and uncles, Fili was very confused by his mark.  It’s a delicate pure white snowflake with northern ruins carved into its pattern. It sits quietly at the top of his right shoulder. Fili swears that there are days where he can feel the marks cold touch.  As a child Fili has a very clear memory of his mark burning him.  The pain was so bad that he ran crying into his mother’s arms.  Dis later explained that something must have happened to his soulmate and that his mark is burning because of it.  (Secretly she worried that this meant that Fili’s soulmate was dead, but she never let her worries show.)  Fili hated his mark for a while after the pain calmed down.  As he got older, he forgot that the mark even existed, it wasn’t until he met Skadi that he remembers his mark.  Although, he would take a year to figure out that the runes in the snowflake spelled out Skadi’s name.
Skadi: Skadi’s mark has always trouble her and for the longest time she wasn’t even sure if she still had one. Her mark is/was located on her right shoulder. When she was young her mark took the form of a lion’s face with a sword held in its mouth.  But after nearly dying at the claws of a Shadow Lion, Skadi’s mark disappeared completely.  It wouldn’t reappear until she hit adulthood. Returning with a searing pain that felt like a hot iron being pressed into her skin.  Now her mark shows a Lion’s paw flanked by twin blades with runes etched into the blade.  The left blade spells the name Fili and the right says Lionheart.  Surprisingly the mark exists over scars on her shoulder and when she touched it, she swears she can feel its warmth.  Skadi’s didn’t know what to make of her new mark; it remained a mystery to her until she met Fili.  When they met, Skadi’s mark started to heat up again.  It would take her another year and a lot of research to figure out what the gods where trying to tell her.
Kili: Kili’s mark is an arrow.  A very fancy elven arrow, with vines curling around it. For the longest time, Kili thought that maybe his “one” made arrows.  It wasn’t until someone pointed out the elven design of the arrows the Kili began to worry. This caused a lot of self-doubt in Kili’s mind. It didn’t defiantly didn’t mean that his “one” was and Elf. They probably just made arrows for the elves, or were just a really skilled craftsman, right? Right? Wrong! Once he met Tauriel, Kili’s fate was sealed.  He fell hard for Tauriel and even harder on his pride.  
Tauriel: Tauriel’s is very simple.  Too simple for her “one” to be an elf.  Elven marks are elegant and meaningful. Not a plain trio of arrows with strange symbols on them.  When Tauriel was young she would have done anything to change her mark but as she got older, the more the mark to grow on her.  After serving the high elves, Tauriel had her fill of snotty nobles and their rules.  She hated breaking Legolas heart, but they both knew better.  Meeting Kili was experience for her.  Never in a million years would she have ever thought that her “one” was a dwarf.  But the more she thought about it, the more it made sense. Stupid, ironic sense.
Legolas: Like many others, Legolas hatted his soul-mark for the longest time.  What prince of elves has an axe for a soul-mark! Certainly not the noble or respectable kind.  No sir. Legolas would hide his mark for centuries before finally coming to terms with it.  For the longest time he believed that battle was is true soulmate, but after the Battle of the Five Armies, Legolas thought differently. Legolas would quietly resign to forget his mark ever existed and submitted to his fate of never finding his “one”.  Then he met Gimli, and then his axe grew vines.  Vines with bright orange marigolds and pretty little white starflowers. Legolas was begrudgingly sold on the idea of dwarves not long after.
Gimli: He has a strange mark. Gimli’s mark is a bow with elk antlers and stars all around it. No one knew what his mark meant; not his parents, nor his uncle, even his cousins were confused.  Gimli took it all in stride, thought.  He my not be the smartest dwarf in history, but he knew that the gods had a plan for him.  Why else would he have a mark full of stars? Then he met Legolas and……… Gimli realized nothing.  Even after fighting together for years, Gimli stilled knew nothing about his mark.  It wasn’t until Legolas spelling the whole thing out for him, that Gimli finally understood.  He wasn’t completely disappointed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well that was fun to write.  I have a fanfic in the works about this whole concept.... but I have no clue who long that will take me to write. Fingers crossed that my writers block stays away for a while. Anywho....
Enjoy the content and Peace out.

Modified ask game - here we go!
I hit a follower milestone a little while ago - number isn’t important, but THANK YOU ALL FOR FOLLOWING ME. There are a lot of you, and I’msure that the follows are all for very different reasons, but I VERY MUCH appreciate every one of you, even if we’ve never interacted. As a way for my new followers to get to know me (if they want) I’ve compiled a list of ask games / random questions and will be posting below the cut.  Send me as many as you want, or if there’s anything not listed that you’re interested in knowing, go ahead and ask. I’ll be answering these throughout the week.  Also in the interest of being friendly and proving that I’m a real live person, I’m publicly stating that in certain cases, I’m very open to becoming non-tumblr friends. This means using other social media to communicate - whatsapp, discord (I have an account but have never used it), instagram, that godawful bird app (which is almost exclusively filled with snarky tweets and baseball opinions) ... there are even a few people on here that have my phone number. 
Why do I say this? Because some of the people I’ve met on here have become very good, very close friends. Tumblr sucks a lot. The notifications are wonky, messages don’t send ... whatever it is, it’s unreliable. I know that people on here tend to be very wary about telling people *real* things about themselves, so I respect your privacy, but wanted to put that out there. I’m not just going to pass out my info to someone that messages me on anon and asks, or says hello for the first time, but if we’ve spoken before, and it’s something you’re interested in, let me know. I swear  that on my other social media you’ll see how boring I am; I just pretend to be cool and interesting on tumblr with my hot takes and gardening and pictures of Neptune.

Barnes Family
Tumblr media
 Pairing: Bucky Barnes x POC! female character 
Summary: Bucky has been de-aged by a witch. To help him cope with his new temporary condition they all go to the beach. Of course, Bucky will do as it pleases him and go on an adventure on his own. Steve, who is his babysitter, will need a good week of rest after that.
Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4
“So, how are you?” Sam asked Steve after throwing a frisbee at Clint.
“Tired. I knew it’d be hard on him, but this much…”
Sam offered a compassionate smile.
“Who’d thought a tiny body could be that loud.”
Steve winced as he remembered Bucky’s breakdown. His face had become so red and his whole body so tensed that he’d though Bucky was having a stroke. It had taken them 8 milk bottles, a warm bath and another 20 hours for him to completely calm down and sleep. Let’s just say that Steve had missed, albeit briefly, his moment spent under the ice.
Hearing his best friend piercing his tampons with his shrill voice had not been a walk in the park. Above all when Steve knew that if Bucky hadn’t protected him, he’d be the toddler.
“Yeah, who’d think,” Steve repeated.
“And about our baby Avengers, where’s he now?”
Steve frowned not understanding the question.
“He is sleeping,” he replied slowly.
The frisbee almost hit Steve who caught it effortlessly. Clint screamed an apology.
“Dude, I don’t want to be that guy, but Bucky is not there.”
Steve turned to the cot next to him and froze, fear running through his veins.
Empty.
The cot was empty.
Steve jumped to his feet and looked around wildly. His eidetic memory couldn’t really help as many people were leaving and arriving. He ignored the weird and suspicious or even recognizing glances from the tourists. Sam screamed at Clint to come and look for Bucky. Ensued a few screams because Clint had lost his hearing aids and couldn’t understand. Or maybe it was the two twin sisters ogling him that perturbated him.
After what felt like an eternity, Steve spotted Bucky’s small body wobbling his way to…Steve narrowed is eyes and spotted one black woman laying on her back. She had a hat on her face.
“Bucky!” Steve yelled.
Bucky froze. He glanced behind and looked straight at Steve with an annoyed expression. Steve gestured him to come. Bucky tilted his head and shook it. He turned around, fell on his hands and started crawling towards the woman.
Faster.
“Shit,” Steve muttered, before taking off after Bucky. He avoided many people who tried to get his autograph and screamed an apology on his way. He’d have time to be embarrassed after.
Bucky was already near the stranger. He stood up, wobbled a bit and…fell.
Too focus on his target, Steve almost tripped on someone’s towel. He apologized through gritted teeth and sprinted. Bucky was now laying across the woman’s chest. He wasn’t showing no sign of moving away. If not, he was slowly climbing on top of her. Bucky, what the hell, Steve groaned, speeding up.
A few seconds later and he was there.
The woman was still not moving. She seemed unaware of the commotion. Steve made a quick prayer and approached.
“Bucky,” he hissed. “Come back.”
Bucky rolled over and gurgled some words. Steve sighed. And Bucky said he was the reckless one. Fearing both to be sent to the anti-harassment classes and the dent on his reputation if someone were to film them, he acted quickly. He glanced a last time at the woman and leaned forward, trying to grab Bucky’s leg. Bucky whined and kicked him, pretty harshly, before continuing his ascension on the woman’s chest.
“Bucky!” he whisper-yelled. Steve made another move then froze when the woman moved. She readjusted her hat on her face and laid still. Only for a second. Bucky suddenly dropped his smile and his eyes were open wide. The woman patted where Bucky was a few times. Then stopped. She took off her hat and blinked blearily. There was no vestige of her sleep and her face looked as good as new.
“What…” She raised her eyes and stared at Steve who backed off, hands high. A few intelligible apologies tumbled out of his mouth. She, then, looked at Bucky who burped loudly. She stared at him for a couple of seconds or minutes, Steve wouldn’t be able to tell. All he could hear is Fury admonishing them because of the scandal. Bucky Barnes, aka the Winter Soldier, grope a woman while de-aged.
“Bucky,” she sighed before hoisted him on her chest, and hold him close. “Divorce is still on the table, you know?”
Bucky grabbed her face with his tiny hands, giving her a toothless smile.
“What?” Steve exclaimed, shocked.
“Hm?” She replied. Bucky had put one of his hands in her mouth. She pretended to bite it, eliciting a giggle out of him.
“How? Divorce?” Steve managed to say, although reality seemed too surreal. His brain was working way too slow. He tried to piece back the information and was still left with a huge gap. What was happening?
She raised her left hand and held it out. Steve eyes followed the graceful fingers, where a beautiful rock shone.
Steve’s brain short circuited.
“Your daughter is going to kill you, you know that,” she warned Bucky, who giggled. “She is not going to like you under this form, and she’ll take revenge for all the times you woke her up from her naps to play.”
Bucky snorted. She rolled her eyes.
“You won’t say I didn’t warn you.”
At the same time, a sleepy yawn erupted next to a pile of towels. A small head peaked through the towel and the most beautiful baby appeared. A dark skin baby girl with huge brown eyes gazed at her mom happily, unaware of the others. She smiled softly while brushing her coily hair. Her cheeks were round and her little finger chubby. Everything in Steve wanted to give this innocent soul whatever she wished for. And if someone dared harm her, he’d…wait a minute.
Steve, who was now sure he’d been hit by the witch curse and had been sent to another universe, stumbled back. He needed to focus on the important matter. Bucky was…married. Bucky was married and had a baby. With a woman. Steve didn’t know what was the most shocking. Had he been so blind that he didn’t notice? If Bucky had acted differently wouldn’t Steve, his best pal, had not noticed? Steve racked his brain to find some clues.
It’s true that Bucky had been happier. But Steve had thought it was the sessions working. After all, he had started the therapy at the same time he started to go out more. For Steve, Bucky had only been following some advice from the therapist. Like he, himself, did.
Lost in his memories, he didn’t even notice the presence of Clint and Sam by his sides.
“So, you also didn’t know?” Clint asked, strangely calm.
Steve shook slowly his head. “Is that a dream?”
“Clint, no!” Sam exclaimed.
Steve felt a sting behind his head. He didn’t even budge under the strength of the slap. He dazedly pressed a hand behind his head and said “ouch”. Clint laughed and avoided Sam’s fist. But not Steve’s. He punched him straight in the groin. Clint crumbled on the floor. Sam didn’t make a single move to help him. He towered over him, hands on his hips, staring at him with disapproval.
“I told you.”
Clint huffed and puffed. His hands cupped his groin and his face was red as beetroots.
Steve eyes were still on the little family in front of him. He couldn’t believe it. Bucky was married and he hadn’t told him. A spark of pain erupted from the center of his chest to his head. He repressed his tears and bit his lips. Now was not the time.
The little girl crawled toward her mom, eyes now on Bucky. Her soft face morphed into a grimace.
“’aby?” She asked her mom. She then patted her mom’s belly and pointed Bucky. “Aby!” She asked again, this time her eyes wide open with surprise.
“No, baby girl, it’s not the baby. Mommy told you we had to wait a little longer to see him.” Bucky’s head snapped up.
Steve was also shocked. Another baby? The pain was now oppressing. He didn’t know how long he’d be able to stand it. He swallowed with difficulty and clenched his hand hard. The pain from his nails pressing onto the soft skin of his palms relieved the mental wound. It helped him focus on the present.
Bucky gurgle something. His wife sighed.
“Yes, Bucky, I’m pregnant.”
“Daddy!” The little girl screamed. Her eyes travelled quickly from Bucky to her mom.
“Yes, your father,” she confirmed, deadpanned.
The little girl didn’t ask anymore questions and stayed silent. She stared at her dad a few seconds and started pouting. She patted her mom’s breast in quick firm motions.
“Mine,” she announced, with a determined face.
Bucky gave her a lopsided smile before laying his head onto his wife chest. His daughter reacted quickly. She yelped indignant, then pushed him violently of her mom. Bucky’s body rolled onto the floor, where he stayed in shock.
“Mine!” She screamed, before climbing totally on her mom. She leaned forward and embraced her boobs with her tiny, chubby arms, effectively protecting them from anyone.
Bucky looked at his wife, lips wobbling, tears trickling in his grey eyes. He raised his arms toward her and made grabby hands. She raised an eyebrow.
“Huh Huh, don’t cry. I told you so. It’s on you. And you laughed at me. Next time, when you wake your daughter, you’d think twice.” She patted her daughter’s back and kissed the crown of her head.
Bucky spun around and made grabby hands at Steve, who finally fainted.
“Come here you little donkey head,” Bucky’s wife sighed. “But don’t touch my boobs.” Bucky whined but complied. His eyes were a little teary, but his pout was still glued on his face. He crawled to her and sat down, eyes on his daughter.
“Baby girl, your dad doesn’t want to steal them from you, you know?”
The baby raised her head and glared at her dad.
“Mine,” she stated. “An’ ‘aby ‘rozer”
Her mom cooed at her words and nuzzled against her neck. She pressed loud kisses onto her small face.
“Yes, yours and your baby brother or sister,” her mom corrected.
The baby girl raised her eyes to her mom and pressed a hand on her mouth to shut her up.
“No! ‘rozer not sis’er,” she replied louder.
Her mom nodded slowly, letting her daughter affirm whatever she wanted. She hoisted Bucky and embraced them both. She looked sadly at Steve’s body.
“I told you he didn’t remember our wedding nor his goddaughter’s birth,” she complained, nose brushing his dark curls. Bucky muffled response came as unintelligible, exept for his wife, who sighed for the umpteenth time.
“Yeah, I’m right again. Thor’s mead was too much, and you know it.”
Bucky grumbled. His looked at his daughter patted her back as soft as a toddler who didn’t have any motor control could, which resulted in a mild slap. His daughter opened her eyes and clenched her fingers into tight fist. Bucky barely had the time to brace for the impact that her fist hit him square in the shoulder. If it wasn’t for the support his wife was providing, he’d be rolling, again on the floor.
He frowned and automatically raised his fists. Baby or not, he was not getting down without a fight.
“Ok, that’s not happening,” his wife took them both off her chest and sat them face to face. They glared at each other.
“This is your dad. I know he can be annoying, but he loves you.” The baby girl growled. “And…I promise he’s going to let you sleep your naps.”
The woman turned to Bucky.
“And you. Once you are an adult, you’ll apologize.” Bucky started to babble angrily. “Or else, James Buchanan Barnes,” She raised her voice. “Or else God help me, because you won’t see a lot of me.”
Bucky dropped his gaze, pouting. He babbled softly some apologies to his daughter, who considered him seriously. It took a few seconds before she smiled softly. He thought he heard his wife say something about being the only decent parent. He wouldn’t disagree on that.
“’ady,” she said with a tiny voice. She raised her arms and hugged him.
Feeling so little in his daughter’s arms and feeling her love for him made him cry. His tiny body didn’t have the control it should have. He was supposed to stay impassible or coo. But not cry. But the more he stayed in her embrace the more he felt weak. She was so…
“’Ady’ sad?” she asked worried as she detached herself from him.
More tears fell down his cheeks.
“Nope,” his wife shot him a knowing look. “He is impressed by your strength.” She grabbed their daughter’s arms and squeezed them gently. “You have a mean throw, princess.”
Fin.

Chapter 1-Red and Green
Roman wasn't the biggest fan of fifth hour. Sure, school would be out soon and he wouldn't have to deal with the disgrace of a teacher his peers had nicknamed 'Ms. Demon', but that simply wasn't good enough. An hour in her class felt like months to Roman and his B- reflected that perfectly. Roman felt the world grind to a halt and begin a sluggish jog the second that fifth hour bell rang and there was no way of getting out of it. The only upsides to the class were his passing grade and the ability to listen to music without his teacher realizing. Most of the time Roman found himself discretely nodding his head to a spotify broadway playlist and doodling aimlessly, wishing to whoever could read his thoughts, that something interesting would happen.
On this particularly sunny day, his prayers would receive an answer. 
'Ms. Demon' was twenty minutes into her monotone explination of another pre-calc unit, when the alarm system went off. Roman along with thirty other sleep-deprived teenagers jumped and looked around panicked. If he remembered correctly, this alarm meant they were under attack yet again.
Fricking Dragon Witch always interrupting me while I’m listening to The Prom, Roman thought, begrudgingly taking out his earbuds.
The P.A. system crackled to life and everyone turned to face the speakers. 
"Students, remain calm, this is not a drill, we are under attack." The voice of the vice-principal stated, clearly shaken. "Your instructions are as follows, leave your belongings where you are and stay in your classrooms. I repeat, stay calm and stay in you-"
The power cut off. People began quietly standing up and searching for their phones. A few students even began a hesitant walk to the door. Roman felt his heart beat and breathing quicken as a girl in his class opened the door and examined the hall, no other students had dared to walk the hallways. It was eerily quiet in the school as the hairs on Roman's arms and neck stood up. Suddenly a scream down the hall echoed to everyone's horror, followed by the collapsing of a wall and thunderous yells of fear and anguish. A wave of students began racing down the hall. Screaming and crying filled Roman's ears. Roman jumped up, he shoved his phone and ear buds in his pocket and hopped over desks to get out of the door. He looked down the hall to see a part of the building completely in rubble and more students running for cover. He began following the crowd, helping fallen students and frantically searching for his brother. 
Remus has world economics this hour I think. Run, run, turn left, run, on your right. Find Remus, find Remus. Roman began chanting instructions to himself. He reached Remus' classroom and looked inside to find it empty. Hoping that his twin had run for cover with the others, Roman ran to leave the school. He continued calling Remus's name and ran himself winded, letting the crowd pull him along. Remus was nowhere to be found. Roman’s twin was strangely tall and wore obnoxious clothing, so he should be easy to spot, but as hard as Roman tried, he couldn’t see him. 
Roman stopped where he was, a mistake as he soon learned after getting run into by several other students. He knew his brother would have grabbed his phone, so Roman pulled up Snapchat and checked the map to see if Remus was there. He found the icon and saw that Remus was quickly leaving the McDonald's across the street. 
"Remus I swear." Roman grumbled and continued his run. 
He made it out of the school and was immediately bombarded by the sound of the fight behind him. Roman wasted no time racing to find Remus. 
"Remus! Remus! Where are you?! For godsake Remus! I will-"
"ROMAN!!!" Remus' screeching was heard above the crowd and Roman ran to him. 
"You were at McDonald's!?!?!" Roman scolded once he had reached Remus. 
"I was skipping alright! You try sitting in that class for an hour everyday!" Remus retaliated. 
"I do sit in that class for an hour everyday Remus!" Roman yelled back. Remus looked like he was going to give a snarky retort, but suddenly he grabbed Roman's shirt and pulled the both of them to the right. Roman stumbled around and looked to where he had previously been standing, to see that Remus had pulled him away from falling debris just in time. He shook off Remus's hand and the two began sprinting for cover behind the nearest building.  
The twins leaned against it, catching their breaths. Roman ran his hands along his face, wiping off sweat and dust. He decided to sneak a look at the battle from where he was and peeked around the brick building. There the Black Ranger was wielding his axe and attacking the Dragon Witches's minions. He sliced through several of them and proceeded to dash through another horde of them, cutting each one down. Roman watched, mesmerized, barely noticing Remus move beside him to watch the battle unfold. The aliens appeared to have stopped arriving and the Black Ranger made quick work of the remaining ones. The battle looked almost won. 
Then Roman saw it. A hurling ball of purple fire rappidly falling from the sky. The Black Ranger didn't seem to have noticed it and Roman began to fear he wouldn't have time as it continued its descent. Suddenly he felt his body get the best of him and Roman jumped out from his hiding place. 
"BLACK RANGER, ABOVE YOU!!!!" Roman shouted. 
"What the hell are you-" Remus tried to pull him back, but looked over to see the Black Ranger narrowly dodge out of the way of the purple fire. 
More fire began raining from the sky directed at the Black Ranger who managed to dodge it the best he could. 
"Can you just stop moving!" A voice suddenly yelled out.  
A humanoid figure dropped from the sky and looked at the Black Ranger, more annoyed than angry, certainly a change from the typical attacker. The villain’s black and purple armor spiked up and circled their body. Six purple eyes glowed bright under the shadow cast by their hair and pointed crown. Considering the other cartoonish monsters the Black Ranger has fought, this one was pretty minimalistic.
"Sorry, but I don't exactly plan on dying any time soon." The Black Ranger stated. "You on the other hand-"
"Yes, yes, justice will be served, peace will be restored, blah blah, trust me buddy, no one wants me dead more than I do m’kay." The villain crossed their arms and shook their head. "But look, my mom is pissed and if I die she's just gonna bring me back and have me fight you all over again. So do us both a favor and let me capture you." 
"Not a chance!" 
"Ugh." The villain threw their head back and whined. "Why can't this ever be easy."
"Being evil will never be easy as long as heroes are around to stop you!" 
"I. Get. It." The villain puncutated each word with a clap. “Look, just turn yourself in and let's get this over with."
"I'll never surrender to you!" 
"Great." The villain groaned again before disappearing and reappearing behind the Black Ranger. 
The Ranger turned around and blocked the purple fire that was blasted at him. He continued dodging each fireball thrown. The fight continued as the villain lobbed purple fire and the Black Ranger battled on the defensive, clearly trying to minimize futher damage. Then, an opening appeared and the Ranger charged, shoving his axe at the villain who dodged and blasted him with fire on the back. The Ranger fell to the ground in pain and accidentally dropped the axe as he rolled. He began crawling to his weapon as the villain approached. 
“Remus! We gotta help!” Roman whisper-yelled at his brother.
“Why?!” Remus exclaimed. 
“C’mon just grab something!” Roman told him. 
Remus and Roman quietly snuck out of their hiding place and each grabbed the closest heavy object. Roman found a street sign that had been uprooted while Remus grabbed the nearest trash can. The two snuck closer to the villain and Ranger as fast as they could. 
"I'm not gonna do any of that 'any last words?' stuff.” They said, looming over the Black Ranger, fire swirling around their hand as it pointed at his chest. “We both know I'm not gonna kill you so-"
That was when Remus full-force chucked the trash can at the back of the Villain. They stumbled and flailed a little before regaining composure and turning to face the brothers.
"Ow, what the-dude!" They rubbed the back of their neck. 
Roman chose that moment to swing the sign at the at the villain who teleported away.
"You have no clue what your doing now, do ya?" The villain asked from behind the two condescendingly. 
"Wha-"
Suddenly, the Black Ranger's axe was thrown into the villain's side. They winced and looked down at the wound. Roman saw as purple blood began seeping out of their newest gash.
"Dammit." The villain said flatly before disappearing, the axe dropping to the ground.
Roman and Remus looked around for them fervently.
"Don't worry, he's not coming back." The Ranger told them, in clear pain. 
"He isn't?" Roman asked. 
"No, but he'll be sending more minions to attack us. You two need to run." The Ranger told them. 
"No way! You're hurt!" Roman protested. 
"How did you get hurt anyway, doesn't that suit make you basically indistrucable?" Remus raised his eyebrows.
"To some weaker attacks yes, but a full strength blast from Prince Virgilius is gonna hurt bad." The Ranger winced. 
"I didn't understand anyting you just told me." Remus stated matter-of-factly.
"That's because you have an I.Q. of negative twenty." Roman sneered.
"Says the one who almost failed seventh grade social studies." Remus retorted.  
"Geography is a hack and you know it!" Roman huffed.
Remus looked ready to say something in return, but was cut-off when hordes of minions began spilling into the Earth through a breach in dimension. 
"Like I said, minions." The Black Ranger sighed. "Run."
Roman raced beside the Ranger and put his left arm over Roman's shoulders. He began helping the Ranger along and the three began trying to get away from the swarms of minions, but were caught up to quickly.
"Roman, you need to leave me so I can fend them off. You and Remus have to run." The Black Ranger told them.
"No, you need help Sir, we can't let you-" Roman started.
"How does he know my name?" Remus asked no one in perticular.
"-protect us when you’re injured and I know you’re the Black Ranger, but you can’t fight all of them off alone!” Roman finished.
“Please listen!” The Ranger interrupted the both of them. “We don’t have much time before we’re completely surrounded, so you two better start running!”
“We are not leaving you!”
“You don’t decide who I can and cannot leave behind Roman!” Remus screeched.
“Will you shut up!” Roman stopped him. “I’m sorry, but like I said, Power Ranger or not, you shouldn’t be fighting alone like this. So, Remus, grab the nearest stabby-thing and let’s help him defend Earth from aliens.”
It was quiet for a bit. The Ranger didn’t seem to want to argue any longer and was more focused on the massive amount of aliens running toward the three. Remus laced his fingers together in front of his face like he was praying and looked at Roman.
“Ro Ro-“
“Please don’t call me that.”
“You had me at ‘stabby-thing’.” Remus sighed before turning away and beginning his search for said 'stabby-thing'.
Roman did the same, quickly scrambling over to pick up the sign he had used earlier. Roman stood next to the Ranger and smiled at him. Preparing himself for the battle before him. Then the minions were on them.
One after another the monsters attacked Roman and the Ranger. Roman slapping one with the sign and forcefully jabbed at the others. He swung the sign around and tried to knock out as many as possible. He wasn’t as effective as the Ranger, who though he was hurt, had an actual weapon that could hurt the minions. 
Roman realized his brother was no longer in his line of sight and accidentally let his guard down. Remus, stop going where I can’t see you- Roman’s thoughts were interrupted as one of the aliens grabbed him and held him down. Roman struggled against the grip and tried to pull himself free, but to no avail. 
Then, something happened. Roman wished he had been able to fully see what was actually going on, but all he really understood was; a red glowing object had come from nowhere and wrapped itself around Roman’s right wrist. 
“Roman!” The Black Ranger called from a ways away. “Listen to me!”
“Okay!” Roman yelled back, trying to get a better look at what had just attached itself to his wrist, but the minion just tightened its grip.
“I need you to say, ‘Red Ranger, activate!’." The Black Ranger told him, trying to keep his voice steady as he fended off the monsters.
"What!?!" Roman squeaked.
"Say it! Trust me!!" The Ranger called.
"Red Ranger!! Activate!!!" Roman yelled. 
Then his world dissolved. Everything was gone, no monsters, no Ranger, no Remus, nothing. Just a blank area. Roman looked around, it was silent except for his own shuffling as Roman stood up. Roman looked toward his hand, finding a red bracelet that had wrapped around his right wrist, seeping red light. The light spread, covering Roman's body. It began to solidify into armor. Roman closed his eyes to protect himself from the brightness, only to open them and find his head in a helmet. He stared at his body, now covered in a suit similar to that of the Black Ranger. In front of him a red glowing blob began taking form. Roman stared, bewildered, as the red light formed a sword, the blade jagged and intricately designed, the hilt pointed toward Roman, as if imploring him to take hold of it. Roman complied, gripping the sword tight, and closing his eyes once again as he was fully enveloped in red light. 
Roman opened his eyes and found himself standing in a small clearing of monsters. The minions staring at him an awe. Roman felt a grin stretch across his face as he brought the sword back a little and thrust it forward into one of the monsters. It collapsed into dust and Roman continued. The monsters fell out of their daze and Roman made his way to the Black Ranger helping him cut each of the aliens down. 
---
A long ways away, Remus was running like a mad man trying to escape the aliens who had followed him. He cursed them and their bloodline, soon finding his breath shortnening. He cursed his dramatic brother one last time before collapsing on the ground. He took in several deep breaths and tried to get up, only to have his vision turn blurry and his head spin. The boy fell back down again, waiting for the aliens to come and eat him alive. However, before he could meet his demise, Remus felt a sharp pressure apply itself to his left wrist. A cool metal object had encircled around him and Remus could feel it pulse a little. He tried to look at it but was once again met with a dizzy, sickening feeling. 
Then, his world was white. 
---
Roman saw from the other side of the block as a green flash exploded from the ground. Before he could ask the Black Ranger what that was about, he was attacked by another swarm of aliens. Which he made quick work of. The ground became littered in dust and it looked like the aliens were losing their high numbered advantage.
“Roman!” Remus’ voice cut across the courtyard.
“What?!” Roman shouted back snappily.
Roman turned to his brother’s voice and saw a suit much like his own and the Black Ranger’s, but green. Remus barreled toward the two swinging a spiky mace in his hands. He turned several of the minions to nothing and met Roman and the Black Ranger in the middle of it all.
--
Soon, each alien had been destroyed and the three stood among dust. 
“This is amazing.” Remus breathed swiftly. He swung the mace around playfully.
“This is insane.” Roman nodded aggressively. Catching his breath forthe first time in a while. “Are-are we Rangers now?”
“Welcome to the team.” The Black Ranger laughed weakly. He grabbed his side yet again and looked at the twins. “You two need to come with me.”

Seeing Green Part 3 - DracoMalfoy x y/n
Part 2 Part 1 Part 4
It was time for the second trial down at the lake. I was nervously standing beside Ginny and everything seemed to be going wrong already. The last time I had seen my brother he still hadn't come up with a solution for the lake but then I saw him dive in and show off a little so I knew it was okay.
"Where are they?" I asked Ginny, worried for my friends and my brother. Little did I know I would be getting my answer shortly as Krum reappeared through the surface of the water holding onto Hermione just after Cedric had emerged with Cho.
It was only then that the task at hand started to become clear.
"Fleur came back alone?" Ginny exclaimed as we look in her direction and saw that she was now on the sidelines panicking about her sister who was still down there.
'Along with my brother', I thought to myself.
An eerie silence covered the lake. Something started to come close to the surface, red hair? It was Ron, closely followed by Harry who had brought Fleurs little sister, he had saved them both. I breathed out a sigh of relief to see my brother looking alive and unharmed.
Fleur thanked both Harry and Ron. Harry was awarded second place because of his bravery for saving the two of them which meant a break out of cheers and whistles among the Gryffindor students.
'Two down and one to go' I thought to myself relieved that the tournament would be over in a matter of months.
**
Over the next few months Harry and the other victors tried to prepare themselves for the next task, it would be deemed the most difficult of the three. For the rest of us though, school carried on like normal. Malfoy was staying clear of Mad eye after the hilarious ferret situation; I wonder if his father ever did hear about it?
Speaking of the so - called Slytherin prince, I have found him staring at me on numerous occasions. The second I catch him he either looks away immediately like it never happened or glares at me. His taunts and remarks have become a lot more frequent towards me also, and of course I have to retaliate. It's worse than ever and not a day goes by where we aren't having a go at one another. As much as he hates my brother he knows I'm a lot more hot-headed which I'm sure that's why he likes to push me. He wants a reaction and as much as I try not to, I always end up fighting back; it's gotten us both in detention on more than a few occasions.
"Y/N?" Ginny calls me pulling me out of my thoughts, "You okay?" She asks me with a questionable look. My cheeks go a slight tint of red, I nod "Of course" I say and practically run into the transfiguration classroom so she can't push the conversation anymore. Negative or not, I could never admit that I was thinking about Draco Malfoy or I would never hear the end of it.
**
It's June and that means it's time for the last trial of the Triwizard Tournament. The atmosphere around school is tense, everyone is on edge.
It's a maze, "A bloody large one" to quote Ron when I take a seat beside him. He's not wrong, and we cannot even see the whole thing. I stopped by to see Harry before I came up to the stands to wish him luck, he told me he felt ready and I have confidence in my brother.
"Can't be much scarier than running into Aunt Petunia first thing in the morning before she has her make up on" He tells me causing us both to laugh.
The trial began and the four of them disappeared into the giant maze. I felt useless, sitting there staring and not having a clue what was going on. Now and again you would hear a scream or a blast of light from a wand. At some point Victor Krum and Fleur Delacour reappeared meaning they had lost.
The stand became more animated when we realised that Hogwarts had won the tournament, now it was just a matter of who would come back with the cup.
It seemed like a decade had passed before two people landed in front of us, large trophy in hand. I looked at Ginny, we were both looking relieved. The stand erupted into cheers, the music began and shouts of pride were emitting from every angle of the arena but the celebrations were cut short as one shout stood out amongst the rest casting an immediate silence:
"THAT'S MY SON, THAT'S MY BOY" the wail came as Amos Diggory forced his way through the crowd collapsing beside his son.
Cedric Diggory was dead. My heart broke for Amos. Harry was a mess yelling that it was Voldemort, that he was really back.
Silence.
The teachers started moving us out of the arena and back up towards the castle where we were to be escorted back to our dorms by our prefects. I lost sight of Harry in the crowd.
The common room was quiet that evening, most of us stayed around as no one really wanted to be alone. I sat on the floor, leaning my head against the couch beside Ginnys legs just staring into the fire.
As the hours went by, some of the students headed for their dorms to try and sleep off today's events. I stayed waiting for my brothers arrival and I don't think I would have slept anyway.
It was late when Harry eventually returned. Ron was trying to teach me to play wizards chess, Hermione was trying to distract herself with a book and Ginny and the twins were on the ground trying to invent their own game. The second Harry walked in we all stopped what we were doing and looked at him,
"Hi" He said quietly. I jumped up and engulfed him in a huge hug and after a few seconds we were surrounded by the others. A single tear rolled down my cheek then.
We broke away after a while, the twins went to bed and Ginny followed not long after them. It was then that Harry opened up about exactly what had happened there.
He looked over to me then,
"I saw our parents Y/N" He told me with a soft smile. My eyes went wide, "Wh..what?" I stammered unable to comprehend what I was hearing. He told me they were there to help him get back, Cedric too.
More tears managed to slip down my face and then I called it a night.
School was over, it had been a sad last day as we remembered Cedric. There was no celebration, only sadness. Harry was crowned the winner of the tournament but he got rid of the prize money not wanting it so he gave it to the twins to help them open their joke shop when Cedric's parents refused to take it off of him.
I was packing the last of my things, last to leave the Gryffindor common dorms as always. I took one last look around the common room and sighed walking out and closing the door behind me.
My trunk and most of my belongings was already on the train by now so I just had a couple of books in my hand. I was walking down the seemingly empty corridor, my head in the clouds as I tried not to think about Cedric, Voldemort, my parents, Harry or the fact that I was leaving to go back to the Dursleys for the summer.
It was then I collided with another body, the wind was knocked out of me and all my books went flying to the ground.
"Watch where you are going Potter" His voice was almost venomous. I didn't need this right now,
"Seriously Draco? Do you ever take a day off? A student died, school is over, summer will be hell so I am really not in the mood to be dealing with your shit right now either so for once in your life can you take that smirk off your face and take your head out of your ass because I've had eno..."
I never did get to finish my rant, probably because he cut me off. Draco Malfoy was kissing me, it was short, sweet almost,  and my body reacted to it instantly as I closed my eyes melting into it.
It was over as soon as it had begun, I opened my eyes to see him staring down at me wide eyed with a confused expression.I think he was also shocked at what he had done, I opened my mouth to say something but he ran off before I had the chance, down the corridor and out of sight.
I slowly picked up my books and walked down to the train in a complete daze, Voldemort himself could have appeared in front of me as I walked down and I probably wouldn't have noticed. I walked onto the train and sat beside Ginny still in my dazed and confused state,
"Are you okay?" She asked me knowing I was acting weird. I turned to look at her, "I'm not sure".
