The Lady and the Major - Part 1/3 // John "Bucky" Egan x OC

Summary: Major Bucky Egan is on leave in London, and what else is there to do than to drink, sing, have a good time, and... of course, ladies. But then he meets Liz, a Lady of the Court, and Bucky is immediately entangled in her net.

Warnings: Language, teasing, use of alcohol - soldiers being soldiers

A/N: Okay, wow... I thought today: "Uh, I have an idea for a OneShot with Bucky Egan," and now I'm sitting here with a three-part story. Jeeeeeez... Uh, but what you gonna do. (I've only seen the first two Episodes of MotA as of now, but... I just love Callum)

Here is my Masterlist

The Ritz, London, 1943

The opulent bar of the Ritz in London, brimming with the raucous laughter and chatter of soldiers on leave. The air is thick with smoke, jazz music fills the background, and the atmosphere is charged with the night's excitement.

Major John "Bucky" Egan, surrounded by a rowdy group of fellow American soldiers, is the life of the party. His laughter is loudest, his stories the most captivating, and his gaze roams freely, appreciative of the scenery—particularly the women who add a touch of glamour to the smoky room.

Bucky, with a glass of whiskey in hand, leans back, surveying the room with a smug grin. "Gentlemen," he boasts, "London's no match for a Yank with charm. Watch and learn."

His eyes, however, catch a sight that stops him mid-sentence—a vision of elegance seated across the bar. Lady Elizabeth Cavendish, unbeknownst to him, sits alone, her posture the epitome of grace, a long, slender cigarette holder elegantly poised in her hand. The soft glow of the bar lights catches her blonde hair and the sparkle in her blue eyes, making her seem almost ethereal.

Bucky's usual confidence wavers for a moment, his friends noticing the sudden change. "Well, I'll be damned... Who's that?" Bucky mutters, more to himself than anyone else.

One of the British soldiers, a man who has seen his fair share of high society, leans over, a knowing look in his eyes. "That, Yank, is Lady Elizabeth Cavendish. The Duke of Wellington's daughter. I'd tread carefully if I were you. She's out of your league."

Bucky's grin returns, cockier than before. "Out of my league? Buddy, there's no league I can't play in. Watch me."

With a swagger in his step, Bucky makes his way over to Elizabeth, his comrades watching eagerly, some with admiration, others with skepticism, and some with knowing faces.

"Evening, miss. Can I say you light up this room brighter than the London Blitz," he says cockily, letting his charm play.

Elizabeth doesn't even glance up from her drink at first, taking a slow drag from her cigarette. When she finally turns her gaze towards him, it's with an air of amusement. "And can I say that's the most American pickup line I've ever heard?"

Bucky, undeterred, flashes a grin. "Major John Egan, at your service. But for you... You can call me Bucky. And you are?"

Elizabeth finally offers him a small, knowing smile. "Elizabeth Cavendish. And I'm quite aware of who you are, Major Egan. Your reputation precedes you."

Bucky, leaning against the bar closer to Liz, his confidence seemingly unshaken. "Is that so? And what have you heard?"

Liz, taking another slow drag from her cigarette, eyes Bucky with a mixture of interest and challenge. "Oh, just that you're quite the charmer. A real ladies' man. Or so you believe."

The air between them crackles with a mix of tension and intrigue. Bucky, for once, finds himself having to work to maintain his usual smug demeanor. "And what about you, Lady Elizabeth? Do you enjoy games?"

Liz's smile widens, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Oh, Major, I don't just enjoy them. I excel at them. Care to play?"

The challenge hangs in the air, a silent dare that Bucky, despite the warnings and his better judgment, finds himself unable to resist. "You're on. Let the games begin."

As Bucky signals the bartender for another round of drinks, his fellow soldiers exchange glances, some shaking their heads, others betting amongst themselves on the outcome. What none of them realize is that in the game of seduction and wit, Liz is a master strategist, and Bucky might have just met his match.

Bucky leans closer, his confidence unwavering. "So, Liz, you don't mind me calling you Liz, right?" he starts, the smug smile never leaving his face, "I've flown some of the most dangerous missions over Germany, you know. But I must say, navigating this conversation with you feels like my most thrilling challenge yet."

Liz lets out a soft, amused laugh. "Major Egan, I've met many men who believe their war stories could sweep a girl off her feet. And maybe it actually does some. But it's going to take more than tales of aerial feats to impress me," she replies, her voice laced with a teasing sarcasm that only someone of her breeding and wit could perfect.

The night progresses, and with each drink, Bucky becomes more audacious, his hand finding its way to the small of Liz's back, a bold move that, in any other circumstance, would have guaranteed success. Liz, however, is not any woman he's encountered before. She plays along, leaning in as if captivated by his charm, her lips tantalizingly close to his, only to pull away at the last moment, leaving him wanting more.

Their conversation ebbs and flows, with Bucky regaling her with his exploits, each tale more daring than the last. Yet, Liz remains unimpressed, her blue eyes sparkling with amusement rather than awe. It's a dance they're both familiar with, but in this instance, Liz leads, her every move calculated to keep him on his toes.

As the night wears on, Liz finishes her drink, placing the glass delicately on the bar. She rises from her stool, the movement graceful and deliberate. "Well, Major, it has been... interesting," she says, her tone implying a myriad of things left unsaid.

Bucky, taken aback by her sudden desire to leave, scrambles to his feet. "Wait, Liz, why don't you stay for another drink? The night is still young, and I feel we've barely scratched the surface."

Liz turns to him, a sly smile playing on her lips. "I'm afraid I have other engagements to attend to, Major. But I must thank you for the entertainment," she teases, her gaze piercing through him with a challenge that silently says she's not one to be easily conquered.

As she walks away, Bucky watches, a mix of frustration and fascination written across his face. For the first time, he's encountered a woman who not only matches his wit but exceeds it, leaving him in uncharted territory. Liz, with her aristocratic poise and undeniable charm, has turned the tables on him, making it clear that if he wishes to pursue her, he's in for a game unlike any he's played before.

Returning to his comrades, Bucky's expression is a mix of irritation and resolve, a stark contrast to the confident swagger he had before approaching Liz. The British soldiers, having observed the entire exchange, can't help but wear smirks of "told you so" on their faces.

"Well, Major, looks like the ice queen has claimed another victim," one of the Brits comments, clapping Bucky on the shoulder with a laugh that's both sympathetic and mocking.

Bucky, undeterred, shoots back, "This isn't over. Not by a long shot."

Another British soldier chimes in, swirling his drink, "Mate, many have tried to climb that mountain. From viscounts to earls, not a single one has reached the summit. Lady Cavendish is... well, she's a fortress."

"Yeah, heard she loves to make sport of men, seeing who can try and fail the most spectacularly," adds a third, his tone laced with a mix of admiration and warning.

One of Bucky's American friends, attempting to find a solution, suggests, "Did you pull the pilot card? Chicks love pilots." The suggestion hangs in the air until another British soldier, who had been quietly listening, interjects, "Her brother's Captain Edward Cavendish, Royal Air Force war hero. Your pilot card might as well be a library card."

The revelation doesn't dampen Bucky's spirits; if anything, it fuels his determination. His jaw sets firmly, the challenge now more personal than ever. "So, she's used to high-flyers, huh? Well, she hasn't met anyone like me. I'm not just any pilot; I'm Major Bucky Egan. And I don't give up that easily."

The group looks at him, a mix of skepticism and intrigue in their eyes. They know Bucky for his tenacity, his charm, and his unwillingness to back down from a challenge. But Lady Elizabeth Cavendish is not just any challenge—she's a high-stakes game that many have lost.

As the night winds down and the group disperses, Bucky's mind races with plans. He knows winning over someone like Lady Cavendish won't be easy, but he's always loved a challenge. The thought of her, with her piercing blue eyes and that untouchable aura, only makes him more determined. He's ready to prove that he's not like the others, that he's someone who stands out, even in a crowd of heroes.

The stage is set for a captivating game of wit, charm, and strategy. Bucky's resolve and Liz's cunning promise a tale of intrigue, where each move could either draw them closer or push them further apart.

In the soft morning light filtering through the hotel's dining room windows, Bucky and his fellow soldiers are halfway through their breakfast, the air filled with the light-hearted banter typical of men who've faced much together. The sudden approach of a concierge, bearing the unmistakable posture of formal importance, silences the table. With a discreet cough to announce his presence, the concierge presents a silver platter to Bucky.

Bucky, eyebrows raised in surprise, picks up the envelope resting on the platter. The envelope itself is a work of art, the calligraphy on the front flawlessly executed, hinting at the significance of its contents. His name, "Major John Egan, US Air Force," is inscribed with elegant flourishes that speak of a bygone era of meticulous attention to detail.

As he carefully opens the envelope, the anticipation among his comrades is palpable. They watch as Bucky's initial confusion shifts to an understanding smile, a silent acknowledgment of the ongoing saga that had captivated them since last night. He pulls out the invitation, and it reads:

Major John Egan,

It is with great pleasure that Arthur Cavendish, Duke of Wellington, and Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Wellington, extend to you an invitation to a gala being held at our family estate, Wellington House, on the evening of this day.

This event will assemble distinguished individuals from various sectors of British and Allied societies in a celebration of unity and resilience in these challenging times.

Date: This evening at 7 o'clock post meridiem

Dress Code: Formal (Black Tie)

Location: Wellington House, Kent

We anticipate the honor of your presence and look forward to an evening of meaningful exchanges and spirited fellowship.

Kindly present this invitation at the entrance.

Sincerely, The Duke of Wellington

Bucky's grin now spread wide across his face, confirms the unspoken thoughts of his table. "Looks like I've got plans this evening," he announces, his voice a mix of amusement and intrigue.

The soldiers around him, well aware of the story behind the invitation, erupt into a mix of cheers and playful jeers. Bucky's encounter with Lady Elizabeth Cavendish, a tale that had quickly become legendary among them, was evidently far from over. This invitation was not just a call to a social event; it was the next chapter in a story that promised to be as unpredictable as it was entertaining.

As the concierge departs, Bucky's mind races with possibilities. The gala at Wellington House was not just an opportunity to step into the world of British aristocracy; it was a chance to see Liz again, to engage in their game of wits and charm. With a sense of adventure stirring in his heart, he knew one thing for sure: the evening promised to be unforgettable.

House Wellington, Kent, 1943

As Bucky steps into the grandeur of the Wellington estate, the opulence of the gala immediately envelops him. The air is thick with the scent of expensive perfumes mingling with the faint aroma of quality tobacco. The chatter of the high society fills the room, a mixture of refined British accents and the occasional foreign dialect. Bucky, in his crisply pressed formal uniform, stands out—not just for his attire but also for the aura of confidence he carries with him, an unmistakable mark of a man not easily intimidated.

He navigates through the crowd, champagne flute in hand, his eyes scanning the room until they find what they've been searching for: Liz. She's a vision in her gown, embodying the grace and elegance of her status, yet with a glimmer in her eye that hints at her spirited nature. As he approaches, he can't help but admire the way she holds herself, the center of attention yet seemingly uninterested in the adoration she commands.

"Seems like I can't go anywhere without you showing up to steal the spotlight," Bucky teases, offering her a playful smirk as he closes the distance between them.

Liz turns to face him fully, her expression one of amused defiance. "Oh, Major Egan, I was under the impression that an officer of your caliber would know how to read a simple dress code," she retorts, her eyes gleaming with mischief as she gives him a once-over. "But I suppose we can't all have the luxury of choice in our evening attire, can we?"

Bucky chuckles, unphased by her jab. "Well, Lady Cavendish, it seems I'm at a disadvantage here. While you dazzle the room in that stunning dress, I'm stuck in this old thing," he says, gesturing to his uniform with a mock sigh. "But let's be honest, we both know I could show up in a burlap sack, and you'd still find it hard to keep your eyes off me."

The air between them crackles with the tension of their banter, a dance they've both come to enjoy. Liz takes a slow drag from her cigarette, held elegantly in a long holder. "Confident, aren't we? Just don't let that confidence get you into trouble, Major. This isn't the front line, and the battles here are fought differently," she says, blowing out a stream of smoke, her gaze locked with his.

"Then consider me armed and dangerous," Bucky replies with a grin, his eyes never leaving hers. "But I'll admit, this is one battlefield I'm looking forward to navigating, especially if it means crossing swords with you, Lady Cavendish."

Their exchange, filled with the playful yet pointed jabs of two individuals equally matched in intellect and charm, sets the tone for the evening. Around them, the gala continues in its whirl of music, laughter, and conversation, but for Bucky and Liz, the rest of the world fades into the background. They are each other's focal point, engaged in a game where the stakes are undefined but unmistakably high, each moment building on the tension and attraction that simmers just below the surface.

As Bucky and Liz continue their verbal dance, the arrival of a British Captain momentarily shifts the atmosphere. The Captain's demeanor is one of polite curiosity mixed with the protective scrutiny of a brother. When he inquires about Bucky, there's a brief tension, a moment where the social games of the evening meet the reality of wartime alliances and personal connections.

Bucky, with the straightforwardness that military life has ingrained in him, extends a hand. "Major John Egan, US Air Force," he introduces himself with a respectful nod, recognizing the familial resemblance in the Captain's features.

Edward's expression warms slightly at the mention of Bucky's service. "Ah, a fellow pilot then. And where might you be stationed, Major Egan?" he asks, a hint of camaraderie entering his voice upon learning of their shared skies.

"With the 100th Bomber Group," Bucky responds, his answer earning a nod of respect from Edward. The reputation of Bucky's outfit precedes him, known even among the British ranks for their bravery and contributions to the war effort.

The conversation takes a turn when Edward's attention shifts towards his sister, curiosity piqued. "And how did you two come to meet?" he inquires, his gaze bouncing between Liz and Bucky, searching for a glimpse into his sister's enigmatic social life.

Bucky opens his mouth to answer, perhaps a little too eagerly, ready to dive into the tale of their first encounter. However, Liz, ever the master of her own narrative, interjects with a grace that belies the quick thinking behind her words. "We met at a charity event just last week," she states, her voice carrying a tone of casual innocence. "Major Egan was kind enough to share some fascinating insights into his experiences in the war so far. It's not every day we have the honor of hearing such stories firsthand."

Edward's expression softens, a mix of brotherly concern and pride evident in his gaze as he looks at Liz. It's clear he's unaware of the full extent of his sister's adventurous spirit and her propensity for finding herself in the company of intriguing characters. "Well, I'm glad to hear our allies are not just brave but also charitable. It's important, especially in times like these, to remember what we're fighting for," he comments, directing a respectful nod towards Bucky.

The moment passes, and Edward excuses himself to greet other guests, leaving Bucky and Liz alone once again. Bucky raises an eyebrow at Liz, impressed by her quick thinking and ability to weave a story that protects her reputation while not entirely dismissing their actual encounter. "A charity event, huh? You're quite the storyteller, Lady Cavendish," he teases, the corners of his mouth turning up in an amused smile.

Liz, taking a delicate sip of her champagne, meets his gaze with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "One must always be prepared to tell the story that needs to be heard, Major Egan. Besides, I couldn't possibly let you ruin all my fun with the truth, now could I?" she replies, her tone playful yet laced with the underlying thrill of their shared secret.

Their exchange, now even more charged with the thrill of their clandestine understanding, continues to weave a complex tapestry of attraction and intrigue, each moment adding to the layers of their unfolding story.

liz gasped, "look at him! the cat is so cute!" she smiled, looking at a small, gray-ish cat named seok.

"he is cute," you smiled.

you, and your girlfriend liz were at a pet shelter, just looking around and playing with the animals there. liz always said she didn't want to adopt, but you could tell she did. she always liked helping the staff out with the animals, it made her happy.

you liked seeing her happy, and that was usually when you took her to an animal shelter. and today, that's exactly what you did. but what she didn't know was that you took her to the shelter today to see which animal she took the most interest in so you could adopt the animal tomorrow and surprise her.

obviously, she didn't suspect anything because you two go to the shelters so often together, she thought you were just taking her because she was really excited to go to the shelter again that weekend. the only hard part was that she took interest in every animal there. you had no idea which one she would like the most.

liz gasped again, breaking your train of thought, "babe! look at the cute pug! she's so tiny!" she cooed, petting the puppy and giving her a treat before leaving.

you laughed a little, "i can see that, love."

when you two left the shelter, she was pretty upset, but you took her to her favorite ice cream parlor before heading back home. by the time you got back, you were sure which animal you were gonna get her. that small, gray-ish cat. sol? sun? no- it was seok. that was the cat's name.

the next morning, you said you were going to go on your daily morning jog, but that was a lie. you went back to the shelter to get seok. you bought him online the night before, when liz was asleep. you felt bad for lying to her, but it was a surprise, you kind of had to.

"thank you for purchasing seok. he just got here not too long ago, so he is still a little feisty, but don't worry too much. we've trained him and helped him get used to humans the past couple months he's been here," the lady at the desk smiled.

you had seok in your arms, petting him and smiling, "thank you as well. see you soon," you set seok in his pet carrier, waved and left.

there was no traffic that day, so it only took you about 8 minutes to get back home. you opened the door and softly set the cage down. thankfully, liz was in your shared bedroom so she couldn't see.

"liz! come here, i have a surprise for you!" you called out and liz came out pretty quickly.

"close your eyes and hold out your arms for me, love."

she did as she was asked and felt something somewhat heavy and fluffy in her arms, "what is this?" she laughed.

"open your eyes."

when she opened her eyes, she was excited, happy, and shocked all at once, "you bought me a cat?! seok from the shelter yesterday! oh my gosh, thank you so much!" her eyes were tearing up and she gently set the cat down on the couch before hugging you tightly.

"this is the best gift ever, thank you y/n," she cried.

you hugged her back, "of course, my love. i love you," you whispered in her ear.

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

"That was really great," I smiled at Jacob. It had been my first time ever using a dating app, and I'd never expected a first date to go so well. 

Jacob was lovely, also. He'd picked me up at my door,  paid for the meal and then offered to hold hands when we walked around the park... He'd kept out hands connected even as he walked me back to the house, thumb gently grazing over the back of my hand every so often and reminding me of the differences in size. He was a gentle giant and I felt myself getting butterflies every time he even slightly squeezed my hand.

Fiddling in my handbag, I pulled my house-keys up and went to face Jacob, ready to say goodbye.

"So, second date to see that new film?" He asked with a grin, knowing fully well what my answer would be.

"You don't even need to ask." I responded with a smile of my own, admiring his chocolatey eyes and their glow in the sunset orange. 

They reminded me of someone else's though, and maybe that's what made me lean as I felt his hand on my lower back, pulling me in as we closed our eyes, our lips barely a few minute eons away before-

"Heya, Liz-" My body jerked away from Jacob's as the door was swung open, a shocked JJ revealed stood behind it. His jaw fell slightly slack, eyes widening before filling with an unreadable expression. As though his cards had been drawn back from the table- suddenly he was unreadable as his expression fell to slate. "Oh."

"Uhm, it was great meeting you." I suddenly felt very shy, smiling at the ground as I felt my brother's best friend's harsh gaze burning a hole in the back of my head. Jacob seemed unperturbed.

"Yeah, you too- I'll see you sometime soon!" He gave that sunshine smile once more before skipping down the front porch's stairs, flipping his car keys up before catching them smoothly and walking out of the gates.

I was left with JJ, stepping in cautiously whilst he shut the door behind me. 

"What you been up to, then?" I tried to start conversation, not knowing why I felt so awkward with JJ. We were almost as close as Simon and himself were. Having grown up in the same household with Simon, with Deji as one of my closer friends whilst growing up- it was inevitable JJ and I would become close as well.

It was mildly unnerving seeing JJ so closed of however, as he simply pulled his phone out of his basketball shorts and began scrolling- casually walking up the stairs to his room as if I hadn't said a thing.

It hurt a bit, since I really quite liked JJ. Maybe I'd liked him too much at the beginning, as whenever he'd come over to hang with Simon I'd get excited and start tidying our room so that JJ might be impressed. Simon never bothered though- and that meant that when JJ came to our room, one side was always freakishly tidy, whilst Simon's side was messy. 

And I'd always make sure to do my makeup nice, and substitute the baggy joggers and oversized shirt for a nice pair of jeans and fitting top.

The one time JJ had came over unannounced and I'd opened the door with tired eyes, toothbrush hanging out the side of my mouth and clothes loosely hanging off of my body- I'd been mortified- and simply ran up the stairs, yelling for Simon whilst I cringed at myself in the bathroom, listening to their muffled laughs from the room outside. 

JJ might have been able to tell I'd liked him as well, as he seemed to play with my feelings when I was a bit younger. Holding eye contact until I was blushing, giving me the flowers he plucked when the four of us walked home, brushing his hand against mine whenever we walked beside one another.

So I distanced myself until he started realising I didn't want to be played like that- whilst he had a lovely girlfriend, I didn't want to just be the best-friend's sister who you play with knowing fully well you'd never date because it's too much work convincing the older brother to accept it...

Then JJ and I simply became friends.

Nothing more than Simon and JJ had going. Friends- we'd sit together and watch movies in the living room, order takeouts for one another, go to the gym and spot one another (although we both knew fully well that he couldn't control the weights I squatted, and I couldn't manage the weights he curled).

But never had he blatantly ignored me.

Shrugging it off, I followed him up the stairs, heading to my room and putting on some music from a speaker whilst writing in my journal. An uncommon hobby, but one that I found solace in. Ever since I first met JJ, when for my birthday he got a pretty leather stamped journal, I'd written all the things I'd never say to his face inside those pages.

"DINNER'S DONE, EVERYONE!"

I heard Josh's shouts from downstairs, following the call and joining Vik, Simon and JJ around the island, picking a slice of pizza and folding it over so I could eat it whilst scooping some fries onto my plate as well. I squirted a generous portion of ketchup over my fries before turning to JJ. 

"Want any?" I questioned, knowing he basically refused those French fries without ketchup- though he seemed to not notice, as he continued his Twitter browse. "JJ?" I questioned.

Still no response.

Great. Ignoring me.

It didn't even hurt that time. It stung a bit as I felt the silence indicate Josh, Vik and Simon had all watched the awkward interaction- watched as JJ ignored and frankly rejected me. And it brewed an ugly sort of spite and anger inside me, like acid sitting unhappily at the bottom of my stomach.

"Fine then." I slammed the bottle down onto the island and grabbed my plate, marching out of the room, seeing JJ help himself to the bottle of ketchup from the corner of my eye as I left.

I left the plate on the desk in my room, instead jumping straight onto the bed and staring at the ceiling.

Why's he ignoring me? When did he start... Just after I came back with Jacob. What, is he annoyed that I brought Jacob to the house? He shouldn't be- nobody on the internet even knows I'm related to Simon or any of the Sidemen business so I'm not bringing fans or any of that trouble... Did Jacob do something behind my back? No, he wouldn't... He's too respectful. Too...

I pondered back over my date with Jacob. He was sweet. Respectful and kind, and yet I didn't lean in to kiss him because of him. I wouldn't have kissed him... Just something about those gorgeous chocolatey eyes reminded me of something... Something familiar. Sweet, like him, something that smelled of just waking up and gave the feeling of home on a lazy Summer day. Comforting. Familiar. Pleasant. 

"Liz?" Simon knocked at my door, peeking his head around the corner. "We're gonna watch a movie in the living room... You wanna come?"

I contemplated before sighing. "I don't know... What movie?"

"We'll pick when we get down." Simon shrugged. I turned my back to lie on my side, facing away from the door and pursing my lips shut. Maybe I just needed a bit more time alone to think. Simon sighed, and I heard his footsteps approach, before a weigh indicated he had taken a seat on the opposite side of my bed. "I'm sorry JJ's ignoring you."

"Any clue why?"

"No, I thought you'd know."

I sighed.

"He's usually happiest with you, I don't know why he's being such a prat. He left the kitchen a few seconds after you left, too. I think he's unhappy about something."

I rolled over to face Simon, his own head lowered, looking to his hands as he fidgeted with his fingers before turning back to make eye contact with me and give a smile.

"Maybe he's ignoring you because you're annoying, though."

"That's definitely not it," I snorted. "If he's managed to put up with you for fifteen years, he won't have a problem with me."

"Shut up." Simon huffed, though he too let out a laugh as he felt the depressing presence alleviate. He leaned forwards before getting up from the bed with a groan, holding out a hand. "C'mon, let's go watch that movie."

I followed Simon down to Josh and Vik in the living room- Tobi also accompanying the duo, probably having arrived a few minutes ago.

I sat besides Tobi near the end of the sofa, greeting him with a smile and picking a seemingly good movie with the group before the door opened, causing Josh to pause the movie as we all swivelled out heads to see JJ enter the room.

Josh pressed play, eyes flicking from JJ to myself cautiously as JJ took the last spot of the sofa- right besides me.

The movie proceeded, though I couldn't watch it- all too focussed on the presence besides me- sat so stiffly, the whole atmosphere feeling wrong.

He'd always get the blanket out and cover himself in it, begrudgingly allowing me into the cocoon when I got cold and tugged on a corner. And he'd let me fall asleep on him, knowing I needed to fall asleep leaning to one side, and I'd be woken up as I felt JJ's chest rise and fall with his harmonious laughter, whilst Simon grumbled you act like a married couple.

It was poetic, almost. How well we knew each other, how well fitting we were, and yet how mismatched it felt sitting besides him whilst neither of us really watched the movie- like two corner pieces of a puzzle being awkwardly slotted besides one another. 

We were barely half an hour in when JJ excused himself, muttering something or other about thirsty, closing the door behind him.

Josh paused the movie.

We all faced him.

"Go, get up, and speak to JJ." He commanded, his eyes meeting mine. His voice was soft, consoling and full of advice as he spoke. I wanted to shake my head, to say no and childishly stay sat and continue watching the movie- but as Josh's eyes stayed trained on mine, I knew I had to go.

I entered the kitchen almost instantly, finding JJ simply staring out of one of the windows.

"So what is it." My voice broke the silence. JJ's daydream seemed to break as his neck snapped in my direction, eyes widening at the confrontation before he shook his head, dazed and spoke.

"Nothing." He looked as though he were biting down on his tongue hard, as he cracked a bottle of water open, gulping hungrily before walking around the island to leave. Too bad I was in the way.

"What, you're just ignoring me for no reason?" I questioned with a bit more irritation in my voice, stepping in front of him to try and stop JJ from leaving the situation. He barged into my shoulder, his elbow wedging into my upper arm hard enough to bruise as he walked past.

"I don't know what you're on about-"

I grabbed his hand, pulling him back and stopping him from leaving- forcing him to look down to our interlinked hands before his panicked eyes met my own.

"What, JJ, why?" I felt the words leaving my mouth.

He shrugged, breaking eye contact, though his fingers squeezed mine gently. I could feel that familiar lump rising in my throat, making my voice thick though I tried to swallow it down.

"Do you think this is just some game?" It came out in a quietly. "Is it just for your own enjoyment- your entertainment, that you ignore me? You give me hope and act like you like me and then pretend I don't even exist? What, am I just some-"

"I don't pretend." His voice came out softly as he squeezed his eyes shut, unable to look at me whilst he spoke. "I don't pretend to like you- it's not some game to me, Liz..."

"Yeah I'd hope you liked me after we've lived together for four years." I scoffed, though tears threatened the corners of my eyes. 

"No, Liz, it's..." He sighed. "It's more complicated than that."

"Then explain it JJ," I whispered. "I'd rather listen to hours of whatever you have to say than just be ignored by you."

"Fuck, Liz." He removed his hand from my own, covering his face. "I don't just like you like that. How could I. I like you like... more."

"More?" I scoffed as his words. "Yeah, because when you really like someone of course you'd ignore them-"

"Liz, oh my god, listen!" He seemed to be desperate as he spoke this time, turning around to make concentrated eye contact. "I fucking like you. I liked you ever since we first met, when Simon invited me round and I saw you sat on your side of the room, reading whatever bullshit comics you liked. I always wanted to say something but you just seemed so... distant, and I didn't want to lose you as a friend if anything went wrong and you didn't like me back- and I still don't..."

I felt the breath leave my lungs as he confessed. 

"JJ you daft twat, of course I fucking like you," I felt myself laugh weakly despite the mix of feelings that circulated through my mind. "I thought you'd never like me back- I thought you were just playing me... And you had a girlfriend, I never thought I..."

Words failed to assist me, and instead JJ filled the gap.

"And I'm sorry for ignoring you." He squeezed my hands gently, and spoke with an even more gentle tone. "I shouldn't have. It was rude, I just... It was awkward seeing you with that guy. It was..."

"Jealousy?" I filled the end of the sentence for him l before laughing. "You were jealous?"

"Well..." He grumbled begrudgingly. "You were about to kiss him..."

I felt myself laugh with JJ, my eyes closing in relief and realisation JJ didn't hate me. It was all okay - JJ liked me and I was never delusional for having a crush on him. I looked up into JJ's eyes. Like chocolate.

Then is clicked.

I saw JJ's eyes when I was looking into Jacob's. That same honeyed hue, dark around the edges and soft and honey brown in the middles, undulating like gentle waves which reminded me of all the pleasant little intricacies of JJ that I had come 'round to loving 

"Liz?"

He asked, and I couldn't help myself from slinging my arms around his shoulders, crashing his lips into mine then and there, closing my eyes and savouring that feeling of his cocoa butter lips against mine, moving softly and gently and giving me everything that the fifteen-year-old version of myself could only dream of feeling, as he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me as though we had been in love for years.

Attempting to do present tense again because yes so have a Lim Life Lizzie oneshot

Word Count: 1495

——

Lizzie is in a death game. Again.

She's not quite sure how she's ended up in this predicament. When she got a message from Pearl asking if Lizzie would step in for her on a server as the moth hybrid was busy that day, she had expected Hermitcraft, or maybe some other unheard of server.

Lizzie did not think she would end up in another stupid life game.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

She can't be back, she can't be, the last one was awful- the faerie is used to a laidback, relaxed server with building and talking and maybe a bit of pranking, but Last Life was terrifying.

Death actually meant something, it wasn't a minor setback anymore, it actually meant something. Yes, being referred to as a queen was quite fun, and using her red life as an excuse to do whatever she wanted was certainly enjoyable, but it was awful to watch death. To watch people crumple to the floor unmoving and bleeding instead of just flickering and reappearing, instead of joking about how they'll get someone back for killing them, instead of complaining about how annoying it will be to get stuff back.

It was awful and Lizzie never wanted to deal with it again, hence why she had firmly denied the offer of joining whatever Double Life was.

So why was she back again?

Lizzie stares blankly at her reflection in the river. Her hair has faded to a mix of brown and blonde, and she has a torn-up hoodie slung over her shoulders, not even wearing it properly. A necklace with a circular clock is hanging around her neck, and the time is ticking down, slowly, and it's all she can hear.

Lizzie is in Limited Life.

While it was nice to reunite with BigB (although everyone is playing along with the joke of Lizzie being Pearl, it is clear everyone knows who she is), she's still terrified. She doesn't want to lose time for Pearl. She doesn't want to screw anything up. She desperately doesn't want to die. Not again.

There's something unsettling about dying in a life game. It's like there's something missing inside you when you respawn. Something that's missing forever. Something you can never get back.

Lizzie doesn't want to experience that again.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

She glances sideways as her reflection is shattered by dirt hitting the water as someone stumbles down towards the river, and Lizzie plasters a smile on her face as if she wasn't just contemplating death.

Her smile widens as she realises who it is. "Heyyy, Liz-" Joel pauses, adjusting his ridiculous glasses. "Sorry, sorry. Hey, Pearl. How's it hanging? What you doin'?" The man next to her asks, letting out a huff as he squats down next to her in what cannot be a comfortable position.

"It's, uh, it's... hanging. I'm just, uh- waiting on BigB for a thing he's doing!" Lizzie says, trying to sound as cheerful as possible. This isn't entirely untrue- BigB informed her that he was off to converse with some ties people, whatever that meant, and Lizzie opted to remain by the river near Pearl and BigB's adorable (yet slightly odd) frog tower.

She pauses, chewing on her lip with an uncertain expression as she tries to think of what to say next. "What about you, bad boy?" The pink haired woman adds in her attempt at an Australian accent, looking her husband up and down and admiring his... interesting getup.

"Oh, not much, not much- Grian got me and Jimmy killed, but it wasn't his fault, we were super vague. Still gonna blame him though." Joel adds with a grin. "Got any plans for the session, Liz- Pearl?"

Tick. Tick. Tick.

Lizzie frowns, shaking her head slightly as the ticking sound echoes in her ear. Does Pearl have to hear this all the time? Her gaze flicks between the clock earrings dangling from her companion's pointed ears and the scuffed watch loosely strapped around his wrist as she wonders which tells the amount of time Joel has left. Does everyone? "Nope, I'm just uh, rolling with it. Seeing what happens. The usual." Maybe. Probably not- Pearl's a lot more spontaneous than I am. She adds to herself with an internal sigh.

"Ah. Cool." Joel studies her for a moment, unusually quiet. "You okay?" He asks, and Lizzie sighs.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

She knew Joel would catch on. Despite how oblivious he acts at times, he's definitely the person who knows her best. "Not- really." Lizzie says after a hesitant pause.

Joel finally moves from his awkward squatting position to sit next to her, and she rests her head on his shoulder, ditching the joke of her being Pearl. "What's wrong?"

Her breath hitches in her throat as she tries to form a response. She hasn't told anyone how scared she was after Last Life- she brushed off not joining Double Life as her being tired from the previous life game. She dismissed her not joining Limited Life as her being busy with Empires. After a few moments of silence (although it feels like it could have been years), finally she speaks. "I'm scared."

Joel tilts his head slightly in a familiar manner that reminds Lizzie of a curious puppy. "Scared?" He echoes.

"Scared." Lizzie repeats firmly, and she only just realises that she's started to shake slightly. "Terrified. I hate life games. I hate them, I hate them, I hate them-" She breaks down into unintelligible sobbing, that awful sound still echoing in her ears.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

The faerie is vaguely aware of Joel pulling her into a hug as she buries her face in his chest and continues to cry. They stay like that for a couple of minutes, Joel muttering reassuring things into her ear. Finally, her breathing becomes more steady and the tears stop rolling down her face so she's just left with her neck and face being uncomfortably wet, and she pulls away as Joel shoots her a concerned look.

"Why are you scared?" He asks quietly. There's a small silence that follows, as if Joel is quietly letting her know that she doesn't have to answer if she doesn't want to.

"I hate dying in these stupid games. I don't want to die. I don't want to mess things up for Pearl. What if I- die a bunch and get her out of the game? What if I like- die die? I don't want to die. It's scary." Lizzie says under her breath in what is barely more than a mumble, sniffing and wiping her nose with her sleeve. What Joel says next is surprising.

"I know. I know, it's scary. It's awful. But you only have to be here for one session, okay? Then you can go home. You're going to be fine." He reassures her with a small smile as she stares back at him.

He's scared too? For the longest time, Lizzie has been convinced that she was the only one shaken up by the life games, that she was the only one cowardly enough to not rejoin, that she was the only one who hated dying. But she isn't?

Tick. Tick. Tick.

"It... scares you too?" Lizzie asks slowly, moving some hair out of her face (the hair that comes with masquerading as Pearl is messy to say the least).

"Oh, yeah. Terrifies me." Joel says with a shrug. "You're not alone, I promise."

She squints at him suspiciously. "You aren't just lying to me to make me feel better, right?" Lizzie asks uncertainly.

"Not at all. It sucks. I only stay in these things because it gives me an excuse to have even more petty rivalries than usual. And cause a lot of chaos. Kill people and blow stuff up." Her husband adds with a grin.

"That bit was kinda fun, I guess." Lizzie admits, laughing and sniffing again.

"It is! So enjoy it while you're here. And then you can go home." Joel's gaze flicked back up to the tower. "I think the other neighbour of the nosy variety has arrived." He adds, getting up and stumbling backwards awkwardly. "OH-" Lizzie giggles slightly as Joel falls into the river, rubbing away the water splashed onto her face with her tattered sleeve. She giggles even louder at the loud string of curses that follow the brunette's mistake.

Joel huffs crossly as he stands up in the shallows of the river, shaking his head violently like a dog as he attempts to dry his hair somewhat. "Oh, for goodness' sake-" Lizzie smiles as she gets up, and Joel smiles awkwardly as well. "Guess you should get back to your fellow Nosy Neighbour, hey, Pearl?"

The faerie nods, grinning. "Yep. See you around, Joel." Lizzie can feel Joel watching her as she stands up and clambers back towards the tower.

For the first time since she arrived in Limited Life, the ticking noise has stopped.

——

I like to think that in-universe, the people who drop out of any life series (E.g Skizz not being in Double Life, Ren not being in Lim Life) do so because they're too shaken up by the previous series, and Lizzie feels very strongly this way.

So returning to Limited Life, even for only a session, didn't give her very good feelings I don't think.

I don't proofread so sorry for any errors <3

"HOW DID YOU GET IT ON THE FIRST TRY?!"

LizRei oneshot ft. IVE members

warnings: none! all fluff :))

a/n: if there's some sentences that don't make sense, please do tell me. this is actually my first time writing a oneshot 😭 I'm just posting this because I was bored and all that yk?

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

Today, members of IVE were visiting a theme park! They were running around having fun with the many rides, food stalls, souvenir shops and whatnot.

Right now all 6 members were riding one of the fun roller coasters the park provided. Gaeul and Yujin sat at the front, Leeseo and Wonyoung and finally at the back were Rei and Liz.

The members were having fun and screaming with the adrenaline they'd gotten from the speed of the ride. And poor Rei, who sat beside Liz, was sure she almost went deaf from how high pitched Liz's screams of terror and excitement were.

Despite that, Rei was still having fun nonetheless. She was holding Liz's hand the whole time, their fingers intertwined together. Rei was laughing every time Liz made the weird noises she always makes, but she herself was also screaming from how scary the ride was.

After the ride, they all got off, panting and breathing heavily. Two members even coughed from how sore their throats were after screaming so much (It was Liz and Yujin).

"*chuckles* Liz unnie, your hair looks so crazy!" Leeseo tells Liz while she was chuckling. Rei looks at Liz with a soft smile on her face and fixes her hair for her.

"Yah! You should look at yourself." Liz fights back, pointing at the maknae's messy hair then fixing it. Leeseo giggles softly as she thanks the second youngest of the group with a smile.

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

To spend the rest of their time at the theme park, they all decided to go to the arcade. Their eyes all sparkled when they saw the cute plushies and figurines in the machine, waiting to be captured and taken home.

They all immediately went to the claw machine with sanrio plushies, meanwhile leeseo was left alone at the claw machine with cute tiger plushies. After being left alone for a while, Gaeul and Wonyoung decide to join the youngest. Wonyoung holding a My Melody Plush that Yujin got for her.

Meanwhile Liz, Rei and Yujin were now at a different claw machine. Liz was trying so hard to get a chuck plushie for Rei.

"*laughs* Yah, Jiwon-ah. You'll be wasting your money if you keep playing over and over again." Yujin says, flashing her signature idiotic grin.

Liz ignores the comment, continuing to waste her coins away. "*groans* why is this so hard?!" Just then, the claw caught one of the plushies. "OH! OH!" But then it fell back, not going into the hole.

Rei and Yujin laugh at their friend's funny reaction to almost getting the plush.

"Jagiya. Here, let me do it instead." Rei takes over and starts to play the claw machine. She took her time, slowly calculating the position where the claw should be.

"Imagine if she got it on the first try." Yujin comments, a chuckle following behind.

And then, Rei got the plush that Liz tried so hard and so much that she wasted so much coins and money.

Yujin immediately laughed out loud, meanwhile Liz was shocked and just frozen in place.

"Yah! How come you got it on the first try?!" Liz says with a shocked and annoyed tone. She crossed her arms and pouted cutely.

"*giggles* I guess I'm just lucky. Now you don't need to waste coins to get this for me anymore." Rei smiles and holds the chick plushie close to her chest.

While Yujin wasn't looking, Rei leaned close to Liz's ears and whispered softly in it. "Thank you for wasting so many coins just for this. *giggles* you're so silly, I love you." Rei then kisses Liz softly on the cheek.

Liz was a blushing mess. She immediately covered her face and turned away. When Yujin turned around, she saw Liz's signature tomato face. "Why are you blushing? What happened?"

"Nothing." Rei replies back with her innocent smile.

"N-nothing.." Liz mumbles softly.

Yujin raises an eyebrow at them while tilting her head, but she doesn't pry into it.

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

a/n: the end! Did you like it? I hope you did. See you whenever I have time to post. :) I feel like the lizrei part was so short it didn't even count as a lizrei oneshot 😭

I'm a little late posting this, but here's my final total for 2021! I cleared my million-word goal, and I'm so happy about that... now to do it again~ >:Dc A million words in a year is about 2,800 a day, and while that target felt huge a year ago, it's a lot easier than I thought it'd be. Thank you to everyone who supported me and my writing last year, and here's hoping we can succeed again in 2022!

Fandom(s):

MCU: Eternals

Persephone!Eternal!Reader & Hecate!Eternal!Reader - more of a series of oneshots for this AU. Click on this masterlist if you are interested!

"The Adventures of Loca, Blanquita, and Poco" - also part of the above masterlist, but it includes OC children of Hecate!Reader and Druig. This takes place AFTER the emergence.

Some of these are more serious, while some are more stupid.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

"Feathers & Threads Soaked in Red" - Angsty Snowbaird AU with the addition of an ARMY of OCs. Some dark themes and a LOT of angst. Do not read if you are a minor.

I am very excited about this fic! This one adds a lot of lore to the Covey, or at least I tried to add a lot of lore to the Covey. I am also making a post of moodboards for the OCs along with some headcanons.

House of the Dragon

"Bound by Embroidered Chains" - Aemond Targaryen x Seamstress!OC x Jacaerys Velaryon. Ewan Mitchell has everyone in this fandom by their THROAT.

"Warmth & Stories" - Aemond Targaryen x Wildling!Reader. This part will have smut.

The first one has serious themes and a bi-coded OC, while the second is very fluffy.

The Originals/The Vampire Diaries

I haven't figured out a title for this one, but basically it's an idea about Henrik coming back from the dead when the Other Side collapsed and he managed to stay alive. He seeks out Caroline Forbes to help him return to Klaus in NOLA.

Kol & Hecate!Reader (same one from the eternals au I wrote) - Kol basically finds a better family and teacher than his siblings

Ansel is kept alive (magical baby plot? who's she?) and Klaus tells him to watch over Caroline's mom in Mystic Falls. Liz Forbes and Ansel may or may not end up...involved

I do not support Julie Plec's lady boner for the neanderthal that is Damon Salvatore. So, if you want me to write this out, pls keep this in mind.

And that's all I can really think of!

I will tag @valeskafics , @dreaming-for-an-escape , @asa-do-your-thing, @arcielee, @lady-ashfade, @ethereal-athalia, @starogeorgina, @sylasthegrim, and anyone else who wants to join!

You don't even need to be a writer to play this game! It could also be an idea that you think is neat, and you just want to swap some thoughts!

Wip tag games!

Fandom:

Harry Potter

"Until the end of the world", time!travel Severus Snape/Lily Luna Potter. It's on ao3, only italian for now, a monster story and one day I will finish it :v

"Tomorrow", time!travel Severus Snape/Lily Luna Potter. It's on ao3, only italian for now.

"The hunter", only the translation is a wip, it's a dead dove very very very dead about new gen.

"L'uomo del ritratto" ("The man of the portait"), time!travel Severus Snape/Lily Luna Potter. It's on ao3, only italian for now.

... So I had a format I see 😂 anyway some stories are more serious and some more idiot.

The ballad of songbirds and snaked

In the serie "The play of songbirds and snakes" I have the wip of the wedding ("Until the end of the night" etc) and after that I have three more short stories to write in this universe.

"Blooming in the snow" (don't know if I will use this title) is the angsty Snowbaird, I wrote only one chapter and I am still plotting (also I am exploring more characters and I love it)

It's only in my mind and has no title or a serious plot yet, but it's the Coriolanus/Lucy Gray/Sejanus one u.ù

... And that's it I suppose. I have more plot in my mind (expecially HP ones) but I don't think I will write anything else in the near future... I am all for Snowbaird now.

I will tag @giosnape @postmariannizm @cdragons and I don't remember yet other users who write but if you write Snowbaird pls let me know 😭

Liz’s Birthday Gift (2021) 1

Always

“…Neku, did you ever think it was weird that we could see the Noise?” Shiki asked out of the blue in their apartment one day, after Neku had—thankfully—gotten out of the Game after three years.

At that, Neku paused the game he was playing on his Switch—Breath of the Wild, which was a great game, but he thought he could do better—and gave his girlfriend his full attention. He slid his chair closer to hers, so he could hold look straight into her eyes: the eyes that had always been hers, even in the Reapers’ Game. “Uhh… Nope? Cause the whole Game was weird. This about that one story of yours, where there’s Silence and Noise, and if you defeat one, you get the other?”

Shiki balked at that, clearly embarrassed that she had ever written such a thing, and that Neku at all remembered it. He laughed, and pulled her into a hug, whilst she cursed him all the while, clearly humiliated.

But honestly? Neku could hardly blame Shiki for what she’d penned, as many writers found inspiration from things that happened to them, and it had probably helped her deal with her trauma.

Finally, seeming to have calmed down—and have seemingly decided that she owed Neku some explanation—Shiki muttered with her face close to Neku’s,  “I guess I bring it up because Scanning is still weird to me. But you don’t think it was at all, do you?”

There was a whole undercurrent to that question that Neku didn’t want to get into now. That he wasn’t sure Shiki wanted them to get into now: that of course Scanning wasn’t strange to him, because he’d gotten to a place where he’d had to do it for three years.

But knowing that an answer from his first Game would suffice, Neku chose to give her that—squeezing her shoulder—and hoping to give her some peace. “…I guess not? Cause, sort of the opposite of what Shades was thinkin’… I feel if we all tried to see how the other heard things, the world would be a better place. And I think there’s some beauty in that. You agree, Chic?”

Shiki giggled and pushed Neku away good-naturedly, adjusting her glasses. “Yes, of course, Neku. Those are some beautiful thoughts. Thank you.” And when Shiki smiled at him after saying that, it made everything that they had been through together to get to this point worth it.

And now it was Neku’s turn to beam, “I may not know exactly what was on your mind with your question, Shiki… But know that I’m always here to help. Always.”

And forgetting Breath of the Wild, Neku thought that maybe he should fish out his Playstation 2 and see if he could get stuck on the red screen of death, that would also always be stuck there, to even moreso drive his point home.

Author’s Note: Liz, I wrote you a NeShiki piece for your birthday, of course, because they’re how we met and Neo is here!:)

The “Silence” idea is based on the fan “The World Ends With You Too” videos, that were fun. I guess in this AU, Shiki wrote them;)

ICEWOLF????

[princessvisionary101]

Info: 💘Nuada x baby sibling! reader who adores their big brother.

Summary: Nuada loved you so much that he took overprotective brother seriously, but you love him regardless.

This will be a small version of what I would do for a small oneshot?…kind of long hehe.

•When you were first born into the Bethmoora clan, your twins adore you, especially Nuada.

•Like he loves you so much he would watch you sleep until you were cozy and comfortable.

•This led to both twins fighting over who gets to have more time with you and who gets to be your favorite sibling.

•Nuada won after you said his name for your earliest day of speaking.

•Little elf cried for hours because you randomly cried and dear Nuala had to cheer him up while cradling you and reassured that nothing was wrong with you and he didn’t do anything wrong.

•how could you do anything? You’re just a infant??? Kidding you could do anything if you put your mind into it moving on-

•You still loved Nuala to bits and loves the fun times you two had, but Nuada was always the one that had you running around and panting for breath every time he wanted to play with you.

•When you all got older, he got more…protective.

•You know the usual every time you were out of your room.

•Someone interested in you would stop seeing you after a week without glancing your way, said older brother being next to you at every party and family gathering, and try to make you not go out without him.

•You got use to it since he always did help you ease out of your anxious times and support you to have fun. He was your role model and your loving brother.

•But he couldn’t be around you after he left and swore he’ll never changed even after he leaves you and your kingdom, promising his return to his family and people.

•Sure you still loved him when he killed your father because he felt remorseful for his death and urge you to forgive him for it. You did.

•And yes you forgave him for kidnapping you and Nuala for the bureau to follow and try to stop him. Needless to say, because you were stuck next to Nuala, you were aware of what would’ve happen if you didn’t glance at the knife your sister had in her hands.

•When you screamed for her to stop and took the knife away for her hands, Nuada had a revelation of what he had cause to not only his people but his beloved siblings. He surrendered and begged for his family’s forgiveness, especially you since you were always following him a lot during your younger years.

•You did obviously so you expected him to come to his senses and be more comfortable along humans and change a bit.

•He didn’t.

•Every time he saw someone trying to talk to you in a “friendly” manner as some calls it, one glare and that person only speaks to you when a mission comes around. Honestly, you felt more and more each day Nuada kept a close eye on you and it didn’t help at all.

•Hellboy, Liz, Abe and especially Nuala tried to convince him that because you were all grown up it was time to let you make decisions, which led to the elf prince and the runaway demon prince to fight all because Nuada presume that “Oh? So if I can’t make rightful choices for my little and dearest sibling, then how come your fiancé Elizabeth still makes decisions for you when your “moody” as she says?”

•Literally since they can’t make anymore destructive fights to the place, imagine one toddler smacking the other’s head while the other tries to pushes them away screaming at them. It’s a fun memory to the rest of the team I would know it.

•You hear this and confront Nuada about it, exclaiming that because you are a grown elf now, you want to do things yourself without having him near you and making careful decisions for you.

•Nuada felt lost at your words but came to the conclusion that he just needs to trust you and let you do things on your own and stay at a safe distance to still be here when you need him.

•Oh! And careful if you date someone and they like either stood you up without any reply about it or makes fun of you or even treats you badly cause Nuada will dead set kill them and hid them somewhere where it becomes his personal cemetery for the unlucky ones.

•So next time call Hellboy or Liz or even your twin sister instead of thinking like “oh I should tell my brother to pick me up cause my date left me here without dropping me off home.

•He’ll definitely WON’T question why and don’t tell him “they never treated me well so I thought you would be a better call to reach :)” no reader he isn’t.

Anywho hope this was enjoyable because I wanted it to be funny and wholesome! Once I get stuff done I’ll definitely decide that I’ll make requests off any boy or girl maybe of your choice and I’ll do my best to get it done perfectly! Have a good night!

P.S it’s 1:03am where I am so actually have a good morning 😅

My favourite Spuffy fics by genre

Action/Adventure:

A Different Kind of (Sunny)hell by OffYourBird [Adult Only]

Between juggling a New World Order, a bothersome Council, wayward magic, and – as always – some much with the confusing time travel, there is never a dull moment in Sunnydale for Liz and Elly. This is Season 6 as it exists in the Jumpverse.

The Butterfly Effect by cousinjean [NC-17]

Five months after the events of "Chosen," a still grieving Buffy must follow a time-travelling demon back to 1997 (circa Season 2) Sunnydale to prevent him from destroying the timeline--and try not to destroy it herself in the process.

Found by CupcakeCute [PG-13]

A post-series reunion oneshot.

Reformation by OffYourBird [R]

When a Buffy from another dimension rescues Spike after he’s left beaten in Dead Things, his and Buffy's world is irrevocably turned upside down.

Stars For Wars Like Ours by ashcrashed [NC-17]

There's trouble brewing in Big Sky Country, and it calls for help from the original Chosen One and current General of Slayer, Inc. Buffy travels to the picturesque town of Bozeman, MT to assist a slayer contingent, and discovers a highly organized crime syndicate terrorizing the tourists, with plenty of muscle and a pesky aversion to sunlight. And it's there, she finds--much to her surprise--a familiar face also working the case, very much alive (though thankfully not on fire).

Apocalyptic/Dystopian:

The Right Call by Sigyn [PG-13]

Buffy never chose to be the slayer. She was chosen by fate. The world was in danger and she had no choice. Now the Slayers are called again, and Buffy is called on to do another job. It just feels as if fate hasn’t made the right call this time.

Scarlet and Midnight by Lirazel [R]

The world is remade in shades of scarlet and midnight, and all that's left is each other. [post-Season 2, AU from "Becoming Part II"]

Dark:

A Better Way to Go by kats_meow [NC-17]

It's Buffy's twenty-first birthday - you know, the one she was supposed to be conveniently dead for - and some smartass has left a crumpled up poem on her porch.  Is it trash, a wish, or a chance for something better?

Almost Paradise by Holly [NC-17]

When presented with the opportunity to magically alter the world she lives in, Buffy knows there are a lot of very good reasons why she shouldn't seize it, but figures things can't get worse. She's wrong.

The Writing on the Wall by Holly [NC-17]

There was no body to bury. There was no funeral. There was nothing but the three rules and the knowledge that a thousand years of torment was nothing compared to a world without her in it. Spike embarks on a journey through the Gates of Hell to rescue the one he loves, but in order to save her, he must risk losing himself.

Drama:

Such Great Heights by Enigmaticblue [PG-13]

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Sunalso [Adult Only]

When Buffy goes to Spike in the basement, she isn't prepared for what she finds. Can wounds be healed?

Dramedy:

Inconvenient demons, ripped fishnets, and a harried Giles abound. It must be Christmastime with Liz and Elly. Join them for a century and a half of holidays in this special Jumpverse one-shot. (Fair warning: if you haven’t read the previous installments of the Jumpverse, this will likely not make very much sense.)

Switch by Holly [NC-17]

Following Tutor, Quake, and Blow. Sure, Buffy's propositioned him before, but never in public. Too much risk of discovery and all that. Something’s not right, and Spike’s determined to find out what. Even if he hates her. Which he does.

Erotica:

Chiaroscuro by OffYourBird [NC-17]

At first, Buffy wasn’t even sure it was him. He was all the way across the gallery, far enough that he was reduced to chiaroscuro in motion—a shock of white hair swathed in rich black leather, his eyes dark and glittering and his skin nearly ivory in the bright gallery lights.

Embers by Dusty [NC-17]

Spike's the best boyfriend. He fulfills all of Buffy's fantasies. All of them.

Night Reflections by honeygirl51885 [NC-17]

He watched her from the shadows. She was a thing of beauty, but he wanted more. Needed more, always. “I’m not what men want.” Her words were a whisper in the dark. “You think you’re not desirable?” He would show her, make her see what kind of woman she really was.

I Fought the World for Your Hand (Give My New Body a Chance) by resignedlybeneaththesky [NC-17]

On a scale of 1-10, Buffy’s idea for her Halloween costume this year probably fell on a precarious 5. It could be great, doing everything she hoped and more for both she and Spike. On the other hand, it could easily fall down the wrong side of the slippery slope into majorly bad, rehashing things best left demolished in the past. Also, recycling ideas was not the best look. But, if it worked the way she envisioned, with a hope and a prayer…it would eclipse that concern. or Buffy dresses up in 1870s fashion for Halloween and a whole lot of love ensues.

Midnight Chicken and Other Recipes Worth Living For (A Slayer's Guide to Moving Forward and Being Happy) by talesofstories [PG-13]

Spike is back in Buffy's life, and now they get to build a life together, a life that can be whatever they want it to be.

Fighting:

Chaos Bomb by bewildered [NC-17]

Ethan Rayne had grand plans when he returned to Sunnydale in 1999, but when it came down to it, turning an ex-something-or-other into a demon really wasn’t grand enough for a wizard of his caliber. Not when he and Ripper could team up to unleash a little chaos on the government’s boys instead…

Dreamer by Gort [NC-17]

Buffy might dream of a normal college life but she got stuck with an annoying vampire instead. Spike’s found the Gem of Amara, but he won’t kill her and has taken to lurking around campus. Things go from bad to worse when they’re both captured by The Initiative and Maggie Walsh takes a special interest. Is Buffy crazy for relying on a vampire to help her put a stop to the professor’s genetic experiments, or is she discovering that normal might be overrated? Begins at Harsh Light of Day before going AU.

Of Malls and Mistletoe by bookishy [NC-17]

Ethan Rayne's up to his old tricks, having hung mistletoe with the opposite of care all over the Sunnydale Mall. When it becomes clear that the only way to stop chaos from reigning over the year's biggest shopping season is for enemies to snuggle up beneath it . . . well, it's just a good thing Buffy finds Spike there after hours. Set a week after Riley's departure in "Into the Woods."

Fix-It:

Crash by Holly [NC-17]

True, Whistler sent her back to fix just one thing, but Buffy has always been rather ambitious.

Train to Nowhere by violettathepiratequeen [PG-13]

For nineteen days after the collapse of Sunnydale, Buffy dreams of being with Spike alone on a train. Unless they never were dreams...

Unconditional by violettathepiratequeen [G]

Spike dusts Drusilla at Buffy's request, but Buffy isn't prepared for the state she'll find him in after the deed is done.

Fluffy/Comedy:

Golden Hour by kennedynoelle [R]

Spike never came to Sunnydale during the first few seasons. The first time Buffy sees him is during The Harsh Light of Day, sunbathing on campus adorned with the Gem of Amara. Oh no, she thinks, the pit of her stomach dropping and sending tinglies all over, he's hot. They start dating, Buffy unaware that her new boyfriend is a member of the undead. Of course, she has to find out eventually...

Right Next (Door) to You by talesofstories [PG]

“Why don’t you and Spike just move in together?” “Because that would be really weird? We’re neighbors and friends, Dawn; it’s not like we’re dating.” Buffy firmly ignored Dawn’s muttered, “You could have fooled me.” (Buffy and Spike are neighbors, best friends, confidants. What they aren't is dating. Which is the one thing that everyone assumes they are doing.)

Valentine's Shuffle by sweetprincipale [NC-17]

Every day is full of decisions that will change where you end up. Spike and Buffy travel down a Valentine’s Day road (or roads) where different choices put them on different paths. Will one of the paths bring them together?  (Note the timelines and events of season four have been altered here. Some things haven’t happened or haven’t happened yet.)

Happily Ever After:

The Blue Eye of the Storm by MaggieLaFey [NC-17]

Instead of the Scythe, what Buffy finds under the vineyard is a portal to another dimension. Spike has followed her there, and it’s the two of them that will cross the portal… and remain trapped on the other side for far longer than they’d expected. What will happen when the two of them—plus a local guide—are away from the stress of Chez Summers? Will they find some peace in the eye of the storm?

Calling My Name by MillennialCryBaby [PG-13]

Spike's been called a lot of things since he met Buffy.

Gestalt by OffYourBird [R]

A love story in pieces and parts.

Historical:

A Different Kind of Hell by OffYourBird [NC-17]

Jumping through Glory's tower portal, Buffy and Spike find themselves in a hell dimension they never expected. One that looks suspiciously like 1880's London. Will they find a way back home? Will the truth behind William the Bloody at last make itself known? Will Buffy ever stop butchering the Queen's English? Join them and find out. Starts off at the end of "The Gift."

The Darkling by OffYourBird [NC-17]

When Buffy’s quest to get Spike returned to her is fulfilled in an unexpected way, she finds herself in a complicated relationship with an intrigued master vampire who isn’t the man she loves, but who might be someday… if she can convince him to step out of the dark.

Only Time Will Tell by Grief Counseling [NC-17]

Buffy, Giles, and the rest of the Scoobies are living in London a year after the collapse of the Hellmouth. They are faced with an interesting mission to save the world: they must retrieve an artifact that was destroyed over a hundred years ago. The catch? Buffy must travel back in time to the exact location that Spike lived before he was turned to obtain the artifact. The pain of seeing him again after losing him, even in human form, might prove to be too much. Or it might be exactly what a grieving slayer needs. (Note: this post-series story does not include comics canon)

Horror:

A Matter Of Taste by Twinkles [Adult Only]

A potentially horrifying story of lust, blood and hunger when the world turns inside out. Set shortly before Buffy vs Dracula; Riley left town at the end of S4.

Cry Havoc, and Let Slip Your Heart by Touchstoneaf [Adult Only]

The Hellions have visited Sunnydale before. Here and there, in twos and threes, looking for a good time. Any hellmouth is a good time, after all.  Usually they don’t stay long, since the new Slayer started to get a reputation for making good times go bad. No one wants to play when there’s a sheriff in town. But then word gets around that a vamp with a reputation of his own has joined the Slayer’s camp. That pisses off more than a few boys in the demon world; especially demons with a score to settle and a serious dislike of vamps in general, that one in particular. What’s interesting is… Once the score gets settled, the sheriff gets distracted dealing with the fallout. And all of a sudden, the town’s wide open. Or is it?

What Goes Around by celtic_goddess [NC-17]

The citizens of Sunnydale find themselves acting on their darkest desires, and the Scoobies' summer vacation hangs in the balance. When Spike turns out to be the only one Buffy can trust, her carefully constructed black-and-white world starts looking a lot gray-shadier. Set in the summer after season 4.

Humor:

Best Served Cold by Girlytek [NC-17]

Willow takes D’Hoffryn up on his offer at the end of Something Blue. Now Buffy has a new roommate. And a really big waterbed.

Big Bad Boyfriend by bewildered [NC-17]

Slayers don't get weepy when their One True Love rides off into the night for good. They get mad, and then they get even. Buffy's determined to kick off college by finding Mr. Normal, just like Angel wanted -- and then rubbing her new True Love in Angel's face. She's got the perfect normal guy all picked out, until an unexpected encounter at a party gives her a better idea. After all, who could make a worse Bad Boyfriend than Spike?

Soft Spot by bookishy [PG-13]

After five years of being together, Buffy and Spike have gotten a lot better at communicating . . . well, mostly. A scene from a calmer, gentler alternate season twelve.

Hurt/Comfort:

For You To Be You by lafillesauvage [Adult Only]

Alternate ending for 7x13 The Killer in Me. What happened after Buffy and Spike returned to an empty Revello Drive following the chipectomy? Well, in this story, Buffy realises just how much she cares for Spike, which leads to some fluffy reconciliations involving chocolate ice cream and Walker, Texas Ranger. She also gets her period, and adult-only fun is had by all.

Let me go but hold me tight by Miss Marisol [R]

This time, heartbreak isn’t the right word, she thinks; it isn’t a breaking. Isn’t a something that comes about when your world gets turned on its head—it is simply a nothing. It’s a vacancy of everything good. She had once read that darkness doesn’t exist, that it is merely the absence of light, and she remembers that she hadn’t understood the meaning of this then - but now she does. Takes place during Anya's and Xander's wedding and goes AU from there. After Buffy breaks up with Spike, she realizes that she's made a terrible mistake...

What Makes A Monster by SleepingTigress [NC-17]

After the events of Hush, Spike sees Buffy captured by the Initiative. When her friends refuse to listen to him, he decides it's up to him to rescue the Slayer. She's HIS arch enemy, after all, and no one else gets to take her out.

Lighthearted:

Geopolitical Ramifications by Sunalso [NC-17]

S4. AU during Beer Bad. A vampire walks into a bar...

Letting It Out by MaggieLaFey [G]

After the events of A Trip to the Store and Turning the Tables, Buffy is FINALLY ready for the Three Magic Words... or at least, she wants to be. If you haven't read the other two, just know that Buffy and Spike have been together for a while and have had intense (but fun!) experiences of the bedroom kind.

Shot Through the Heart by bookishy [PG-13]

When Buffy finds out an assassin is gunning for her, there's only one place to hide. Unfortunately, the amenities are a little lacking. And her new cryptmate is a little surly, because she may have kind of sort of just gotten him shot. Pay him enough, though, and he won't mind too much, right? Set in the summer between Seasons 4 and 5.

Resurrection:

If I Loved You Less by MillennialCryBaby [NC-17]

How long had Spike been gone? 147 days. 148 at midnight. Except maybe today won't count?

Midnight in Rome by Dusty [R]

It'll take more than death and a fiery apocalypse to keep them apart now.

Wine-Colored by OffYourBird [NC-17]

There are so many shades of red, but Buffy sticks to the one she knows best.

Road Trip:

Down the Road I Go by Megan_Tam [NC-17]

A Slayer. A vampire. A 1959 DeSoto. Spike kidnaps Buffy and heads back to Brazil in a misguided attempt to appease Drusilla. What starts out as revenge turns into an experience neither will forget. If they don't kill each other first.

What Remains by MrsAkers [NC-17]

As the lone survivors of the final battle with Glory, Buffy and Spike run away from Sunnydale. Battling with guilt and an unfulfilled death wish, Buffy finds solace in Spike's company while the vampire just does his best to keep her alive. Goes majorly AU at The Gift.

Wild and Wonderful by solstice [PG-13]

Dawn is nine and three quarters. She is resilient, strange and sharp as a tack. She's a credit to her big sis. But she's just been kidnapped by one of the most notorious vamps of all time - Drusilla. Things look bad. Enter Spike, her very unlikely hero. Spike's relationship with Drusilla has been on the rocks since the Acathala debacle and the morsel in the crate is her double-edged gift to him: a chance to make things right, and a chance to be really bad. Kill the girl and make it hurt. But for some reason he. just. can't. Instead, he tosses the niblet into the trunk of his Desoto and hits the road, leaving his one hundred year relationship in tatters, and grinding his reputation into the dust. Buckle your seat belts nice and tight. We're in for a bumpy ride.

Romance:

A Warm Welcome by MaggieLaFey [NC-17]

Nineteen days after “Chosen”, Spike is spit out of the amulet in Angel’s office, and two months later he becomes corporeal. It takes him longer yet to find the courage to contact a certain slayer, who won’t be too happy about the wait. But will she forgive him and use this opportunity to finally start something new?

Having a Coke With You by resignedlybeneaththesky [NC-17]

“Buffy. Hi, it’s Wesley. Wesley Wyndam-Pryce.” “I recognized the voice,” she found herself saying dumbly, and it made him laugh. “Yes, quite. Listen, I apologize for calling so late—or, early, I suppose—but there’s something that I feel I need to tell you, and it can’t wait.” Leaning up against the pillows, she had let out a sigh of exasperation. “Wes, we just brought the world back from the brink a few weeks ago. I’m still healing up, the gang is scattered, and we…we lost…” “I know,” he interrupted, though not unkindly. “But that’s the thing—it’s about Spike.” Buffy’s jaw dropped, like in all those stupid movies, but she couldn’t bring herself to make a sound. Her entire body felt frozen, except for her hands, which trembled so fiercely that the phone almost slipped from her grasp. “Wh-what?” “Spike is alive, Buffy. Er, well, it’s tremendously complicated, but he’s…here. At Wolfram & Hart."

World Enough, and Time by toooldforthis [R]

“You came back wrong,” he told her, all those years ago. He was right, but it took them a very long time to realise exactly what that meant. It meant a hundred more apocalypses, a thousand battles. It meant a journey, a prophecy, a war. They’d lose one other, and find their way back, and choose, again and again. And all the while, the earth was failing. There are a lot more people than you think who are here for the long haul – like, the really long haul. This is a story about two of them.

Slow-Burn:

Choices by lafillesauvage [NC-17]

After the big showdown in L.A., the Powers That Be decide to make each of their three Champions (Buffy, Angel, and Spike) a deal, which they may or may not choose to accept. This story follows what happened after they made those choices, how their lives played out in the years that followed, and how Buffy and Spike eventually found their way back to each other.

Nemesis by Holly [NC-17]

Book II of the Yellow Brick Road series. While trying to cope with mixed feelings and brewing resentment over the fact that Spike screwed her and vanished, Buffy finds herself increasingly suspicious about Faith's close relationship with Angel. Just as things can't get any more confusing, a blond vampire she was sure she would never see again decides that it's time.

Requiem by Holly [NC-17]

Every night, he saves her. Sequel to Perchance.

Tragedy:

Meet Me at Midnight by Dusty [NC-17]

A story about the stolen midnight hours of season seven.

Ten Minutes by FlightsofFancy [R]

Buffy, alone, looking for Oz in the Initiative. She only has ten minutes. She finds someone else. Life of a hero, impossible odds.

Time by flootzavut [G]

"I'm counting on you to protect her." "Till the end of the world. Even if that happens to be tonight."

Decades later, Spike has fulfilled his promise.

Her Wool Pulled Over Your Eyes (Explicit)

What if Azuki Mizuchi took her bullying to another level, by stealing Makoto from Haru? Because if she can’t have Sugimura…

So, um, I swear I can explain this!!! I was listening to some playlist and When I Rule the World by Liz came on, and the first thing that came to my mind was how that’s what a relationship between Makoto and Azuki would look like. Then I wrote a full on “au within an au” oneshot. Which became quite explicit (hence the rating). 

If you can’t/don’t want to read this, don’t worry! You’re not missing anything related to my au’s overarching story!!! This was mostly just me playing around with the terrible oc I made akdhfjahdskfj

happy sleepover saturday!!! do you have any ideas for future PCs? do you like making PC playlists?

at the moment my pc (and npc) count is it 24 👉👈 so yes, i love character playlists :'D i'm not as refined about it as some of you guys are, usually i just throw songs on there that fit without sorting them or anything (i did order the reeves playlist chronologically tho! yay!)

i could get out my list of like. roughly 100 d&d ocs that i've made over the last few years, but (mostly) concrete plans are

to play a paladin for each of the subclasses

my water genasi coastal druid called tempest who is entirely marine themed and who i wanted to play in a oneshot a friend was planning

you know about reeves obv :D (as much as i'm willing to reveal, at least)

i really want to play a mapmaker, ideally another ocean/sailor themed one. i have a concept for a warlock of the great old one who walks the ocean floor and who's patron is a giant, ancient, primordial deep sea mermaid

i have a gorgon knowledge cleric called solitude that i hope to play in leo's campaign <333 they have a pet rock called archibald and a sentient religious tome who is also their deity!

a goblin/drow peace cleric called dandelion! i made them as a guest character for my friend liz' wildemount campaign, they'll be a religious mentor figure for one of the pcs!

thank you so much for asking, hollis <3333 MWAH!!
