── 𝗟𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗘 𝗣𝗨𝗠𝗣𝗞𝗜𝗡.

lottie understands being shy and timid

but for once she wanted to protect you

there were many soft moments until she got kidnapped by saskia

and you were furious

lottie was genuinely shocked that someone so shy could fight so effortlessly

she definitely saw parallels between jamie and you

she also doesn’t feel the need to protect you as much anymore

but she lowkey wants to be trained by you instead of jamie

── 𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗘 𝗪𝗢𝗟𝗙.

ellie has never had to protect you once

thankfully

she still hasn’t had to

when she was told that you knew martial arts she talked you into sparring with jamie

jamie felt bad about fighting you, cause he didn’t know, so he went easy on you

and you won by a landslide

you guys arm wrestled and you won on both arms

ellie hasn’t let jamie live that down and it’s been 3 years

── 𝗝𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗘 𝗩𝗢𝗟𝗞.

he’s secretly whipped for you, let’s be honest

he does so much for you because you’re too shy to ask

ironically, you were scared of him first

he was big and scary and confident

jamie thought the same until he went to tompkins manor

he had a stress-induced aneurysm when he watched you and julius battle it out

was overwhelmingly proud of you when you disarmed ingrid

so now he trains against you even though you worry about hurting him

he thinks it’s cute that you’re worried when you’re evenly matched

── 𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗖𝗜𝗔 𝗔𝗟𝗖𝗥𝗢𝗙𝗧.

honey, your shyness was what made her fall in love with you

but she was confused when you had a face-off against saskia

someone she used to love is now fighting someone she does love

w h a t

she thought you’d never hurt a fly until that night

she was blown away

typically you were reluctant to train against he for fencing practice

but after this, she begged you to help train her

it took 5 tries before you gave in

── 𝗦𝗔𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗔 𝗦𝗔𝗡 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗡.

never saw it coming

was always worried leviathan would damage your innocence

of course, she always wondered why you watched her train all the time

as if you were downloading everything she was capable of doing

saskia realised this wasn’t too far from the truth when you fought ingrid at tompkins manor

she charged at you with a knife and saskia was about to punch her square in the face

but you twisted her arm and held her in a choke hold, tossing the knife to jamie

her heart died, revived, and died again

worry had left the building

── 𝗥𝗔𝗣𝗛𝗔𝗘𝗟 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗖𝗢𝗫.

he loves how shy you are

always kisses you in front of everyone to see you flustered

anastacia loves you guys together, but she wants to duel you damnit

raphael encouraged you to go for it, so you did

anastacia isn’t completely unfair, so she taught you some skills in the lead up

raphael isn’t great at the privacy game, so he told everyone, obviously

you weren’t very happy about that, but you showed the rosewood gang your skills

and now raphael thinks you’re super cool and badass

wants to learn some too, but you don’t trust him

── 𝗟𝗢𝗟𝗔 𝗧𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗦.

saw it coming the least

loved you even more after you saved her from leviathan

had a heart attack when you and her got tied up by julius

lola thought lottie was brave for rolling to block ingrid and letting her run for help

but then she came back and you were fighting ingrid and julius with your hands still tied

she was so relieved you could hold your own

and micky stopped being so protective of lola when he saw you could protect her

── 𝗠𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗬 𝗧𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗦.

you both got a comment about how everyone somewhat expected it

you and micky wondered why until jamie explained it

"you’re both too innocent, but if one of you were to be secretly badass, it’d be [name]."

micky wasn’t sure if that was an insult to him, or a compliment to you

but he took it as a compliment to you when you were training with anastacia while he was chasing percy’s sleep walking

he was very impressed

he also appreciated you can defend yourself and him if it ever came down to it

OKAY IT’S TIME

i got very behind with the readathon and it’s officially over now but i present to you:

CHAP’S 19-EPILOGUE

are you ready? i’m not

tumblr ate all my notes from 19-32 bc i took a break for dinner which sucks bc it took ages but we’re just gonna go from here

and finally jamie gives into the fact that ellie is his friend

i won’t lie if i was sayuri i’d be pretty pissed that i couldn’t get through to haru, but jamie could

emelias like fuck all this mushy shit can we get back to saving the day

i can only see stella and sam as like micky and lola from up, but less happy

obsidian blade? but obsidian is so fragile, it would probably break under the pressure of a sword like lotties

though i suppose claude wasn’t expecting a sword to get in the way

🩷🩷🩷🩷

it means so much to me that lottie calls ellie a prince to her face

ellie looked like an angel when she went to save lottie in up and now lottie looks like an angel saving ellie

little princess 🩷

it’s so cute that ellie gets all shy now when earlier it was always lottie blushing

you don’t know how happy i am to have made it to the endless fluff at the end of

HOLIDAY BAKED BEAN

buying a school bc your best friend/gf saved your life is just iconic behaviour

oliver

ahh but imagine jamie’s reaction to the script

MICHAELS HUSBAND PERCIVAL

connie you knew what you were doing when you called it butterkins

wait ani and saskia got married so young, like if the end of pea is 2019 and the epilogue is 2046 that means they got married in 2021 so they’d be really really young

hell yeah vampy will never die

not baked bean dying :(((((

HER WIFE ELEANOR PUMPKIN-WOLFSON

the little child names 😭😭😭😭😭😭

oh and we have reached the end

the end of the series, the end of the readathon, the end of the notes

thank you all for reading these if you did

i also just wanna shout out/thank my wonderful wonderful friends who i found through rwch @rosewoodconch @eleanorwolfson @maradovan @conchetttecurls @olliesmoreno guys i really really love you and im so happy i met you and i would do anything for you 🩷

RWCH Readathon 2024: Day 10

Undercover Princess - Chapter 28

AKA MY FAVOURITE CHAPTER. But im gonna try be short about it

I like binahs puzzle getting slowly figured out and revealed to us, giving us just enough information to stay ahead of them!

"What if you need to solve [a riddle] to get out of a sticky situation"

Hmmm. I guess technically its not Ellie thats in a sticky situation

Another story of the diary!!! I really need to track these better.

The whole ellie vs saskia thing has always been weird its all in lotties head but really its foreshadowing and ugh im too tired

Croak is a legend. I love that lil bean man

Ellie is so chaotic. Im stress for their records on their behalf

Jamie wouldve killed them

I really love that his office is quaint and modest. Its messy and lived in and really feels important. Without feeling unnecessarily grandiose

I really adore the description of the painting. You can really imagine it so perfectly

BEAN MAN

He is so incredibly all knowing. You get the sense that while hes unassuming, he really is knowledgable and kind. Just like Tufty

Binah fae is so incredible

I really love this take, that croak gives. About giving people space to speak. To give quiet to those who need it

The way tufty mimics ellie, a real undercover princess, who fell for a pitkin / pumpkin

Ugh

Connie your minddddddd

THE ARNOLINFI PAINTING MY BELOVED

I HAD A WHOLE CLASS ABOUT IT AT UNI FOR THE PSYCHOLOGY OF VISUAL ART

I screamed when it was in a lecture

"Hes a little like me then" ELLIE 😭😭😭😭

BINAH KNOWS

This is one of my favourite chapters in thw whole book

It weaves together the past and present and it really captures the right amount of mystery that allows the reader to feel smart if they work it out, but still be happy to just find out with Ellie.

I adore William Tuftys story and I always wished for a spin off about them.

[darthvadersinhaler]

The Godly parents of the Rosewood Chronicles characters (Percy Jackson AU)

Nobody is going to see this lmao but I've been thinking about it for a while, so I might as well get all my thoughts out. This is what happens when my two hyperfixations come together into one :)

Lottie Pumpkin: Demeter. I feel like since Lottie is such a nurturing character, she would do well in Demeter cabin where they grow plants and stuff like that. Also, in the books Lottie is said to have a connection to the Rose Wood forest as well. I feel like that’s very on brand for a child of Demeter to have a connection to the surrounding nature. Lottie would love helping grow different flowers and fruits at Camp Half Blood and would prefer to not go on quests. If Lottie were to go on a quest, she'd use a bow and arrow.

Ellie Wolf: Zeus. I don’t know if it’s just because Ellie gives total Thalia Grace vibes (they literally are the same person in different fonts) but I feel like Ellie would be a daughter of Zeus. Ellie would understand the pressure of being a child of one of the Big Three as well as daughter of the king of the gods. Also imagining Ellie with lightning powers is so cool. Like, every time Ellie loses her temper, she would start to summon sparks of lightning and stuff. Ellie would love the freedom and adventure that comes with going on quests, she’d even go as far to tag along on quests that weren’t for her. Would take capture the flag WAY too seriously. Ellie would also be a really good swordsman.

Jamie Volk: Hades. I have to admit, I didn’t really know who to put for Jamie, but I decided on Hades. I feel like it makes since for Jamie to be a child of the Big Three since he’s the heir to the throne of Maradova in the books, so he would have a lot of power. I also feel like since Jamie’s backstory is a big deal for him in the books, once he found out about his true parentage, he’d try to summon the ghost of his mother Hirana the way Nico did with Bianca. If Jamie went to Camp Jupiter, he’d definitely be a Praetor. Jamie wouldn’t like going on quests that much, but recognizes it as his duty. After a while of serving the gods, getting nearly killed a million times while on quests for the gods, he’d start to turn against the gods. Would always beat other campers in capture the flag/war games. Most of the time, Jamie would just summon the dead in a fight, but he's also really good with all weapons, since he's Praetor.

Anastacia Alcroft: Aphrodite. Listen, Ani would charmspeak the fuck out of people to get whatever she wants. In the books, she’s stated to be extremely beautiful and she cares a lot about appearance (her hair), so I think Aphrodite fits her. Anastacia would be known around Camp Half Blood for also being a really good swordsman. She doesn’t really like going on quests, since she’s not a big fan of serving the gods.

Saskia San Martin: Ares. My thoughts around this are mostly because I thought it would be cute if she was a daughter of Ares and Ani was the daughter of Aphrodite. Saskia would have heightened battle instincts and would easily beat anyone in a fight, camper or monster. She would like quests in the sense that she gets to get rid of the monsters that keep trying to kill her, but she would HATE going on quests that benefit the gods. She hates feeling like she'd just a tool of the gods, and would eventually betray Camp Half Blood to try to take down the gods. Eventually, she would be brought back to the good side, and she would rekindle her relationship with Anastacia, then they would spend the rest of their lives together at Camp Jupiter in New Rome.

Binah Fae: Athena. If you thought Binah was going to be anything other than a child of Athena, you’ve sadly mistaken. Binah loves knowledge; it makes sense for her to be the daughter of the goddess of wisdom. Binah would love helping campers out with quests and other general demigod stuff. She'd definitely be camp counselor, even if she's not the oldest one in Athena cabin. She’d weirdly be on good terms with most (if not all) of the gods. Binah would be able to guess who a camper’s godly parent is before they even get claimed. It’d be like a little game for her. Even Binah's siblings would be amazed at how much knowledge she has. Would be an amazing strategist, and would always win in capture the flag. She doesn’t mind being put on quest, since she likes helping other demigods. She’s also just really reliable to the gods. If on a quest, Binah would mostly use her wits and battle strategy to outsmart any monster she comes across, but will use a knife as a last resort (I feel like she would like the precision a knife would bring in a fight).

Raphael Wilcox: Dionysus. Dionysus is literally the god of theater. End of story. I thought about making Raph the son of Apollo, and honestly, I'm still on the fence with the decison to make Raph a son of Dionysus. Imagining Raphael at Camp Half Blood and him interacting with Mr. D is just too ridiculous of an image-

Either way, Raphael would not like going on quests. He definitely does not want to get killed by a monster. Raphael would also be a very good archer. He'd spend a lot of his time at Camp Half Blood in the amphitheater, putting on plays for the whole camp to watch, with his friends from Apollo cabin, and his own siblings. He'd be closer friends with Rio (child of Dionysus), and Miko (daughter of Apollo). He'd also like to play very romantic, comedic characters in the plays, trying to get the attention of one Ollie Moreno. . .

Ollie Moreno: Hebe. I couldn't really think of anything else for Ollie. Hebe is the goddess of youth I believe, and I feel like that's perfect for Ollie. Throughout the Rosewood Chronicles, Ollie is the character that reminds Lottie of childhood, and is always described as having a baby face. Also, Ollie just have a very youthful vibe, yk? Like he's always making jokes and being super sweet and stuff.

Percy Butter: Hypnos. Idk. He just kinda gives me a sleepy vibe. I think that this boy deserves to rest.

Lola and Micky Tompkins: Hebe. Lola and Micky remind me of two little children. They just have such a wholesome, child-like vibe, so I think they would both fit into Hebe cabin.

Sayuri Chiba: Bellona. Maybe I'm just saying this because Sayuri is literally a copy-and-paste of Reyna from HoO, but I'm gonna go with Bellona, Roman goddess of war. Sayuri would also def. become a Praetor. Like Jamie, Sayuri is a natural leader and inspires unity within the legion. Jamie and Sayuri would have a similar bond to Reyna and Jason, but without the romantic aspect (can you tell how much I wish we got to have more sayuri and jamie interactions in the books? I like to think that they became closer friends after PEA, when jamie and haru got together. they like to talk about how ridiculous everybody else is. they have gossip sessions together. i love them <3). I think that Sayuri would enjoy quests in the sense that it makes her feel like she's making a difference/impact on the lives of her fellow demigods. Sayuri would fight monster off with a club (like the baseball bat she uses as the pink demon), but she'd also be able to fight really well with a sword.

Haru Hinamori: Aphrodite. I ALMOST put Haru in Hermes cabin, but I think I was just thinking that because Haru lowkey gives me Luke Castellan vibes (unfortunately). . . . Anyways! I decided on Aphrodite cabin, since everyone fell for Haru's charms so easily in the books. Haru would also be able to charmspeak people into doing his bidding during his time when he was fighting against the gods. If we're going with the idea that Jamie and Sayuri go to Camp Jupiter, Haru would meet Jamie since he's childhood friends with Sayuri, and he met Jamie when Jamie and Sayuri first became Praetors together.

Emelia Malouf: Nemesis. Nemesis is the goddess of revenge, and I think that's very fitting for Emelia. She spends most of the RWCH fighting to get revenge on Claude for destroying her life, and that kinda drive would be perfect as a child of Nemesis. I feel like, once Emelia has gotten revenge on whoever has made her life a living hell, she'd join the Hunters of Artemis, and help hunt monsters. I don't think that Emelia would like the setting of Camp Half Blood much, so she'd enjoy being able to get away from CHB with the rest of the Hunters and goddess Artemis.

-I'm just gonna add these last three on, because I don't really have much to say about them:

Wei Li: Athena.

Rio Santos: Dionysus.

Miko Hanajima: Apollo.

[conchetttecurls]

Rosewood Readathon Day 14

Being in Paris is like a dream, I couldn't imagine being in one of the boujee boutiques to get a custom dress

DAY AND NIGHT. THEY ARE THE SUN AND THE MOON

Lottie keeping the note a secret giving her a small bit of control over her life

These shoes are the sexiest things to me. As I've embraced feminity as I've gotten older I can now confirm sexy shoes go HARD

"if im so difficult why dont you leave" can you hear me crying

"No one knows and no one cares" god that so upsetting to read knowing that infact they do know and actually care quite a bit

"They turned an orphan baby into an assassin" even worse, but dw lottie you'll learn that in like another years time

hehhe storm imagery

storm and calm. night and day. princess and portman. ellie and lottie. <3

pumpkin princess!!!!

one thing that's really apparent on this reread is how out of pocket most of the rosewood students are. In terms of money I mean. Like Ellie just having a closest filled with previous stoned jewellery and the doesn't care for and offers some to Lottie is sweet, but for Lottie probably three of the necklaces are worth more than any amount of money lottie's had her entire life.

"creepily similiar" wouldn't that be so funny

THE END OF THIS CHAPTER

WHAT THE FUCK

I FORGOT THIS HAPPENED

"ALLOWED HIMSELF TO BE CONSUMED BY HIS DREAD AND BROKE DOWN" MY BOY!!! MY BOY!!!!!!

it hurts SO much. i hate it here

[lottalottie]

"I wouldn't say afraid," Lottie replied, but her nose was scrunched up as she watched the other woman hollow out the pumpkin for her. Maybe not afraid, but close. The idea of getting all of that orange string-y stuff under her nails was enough to make her visually shudder, she could only imagine how it felt... all sticky and squishy... "Thank you, Anya, you're a doll," she breathed a sigh of relief, pulling the pumpkin closer to herself. "You know, I'm thinking a cat. Surely I can manage that, right?" She let out a little laugh, plucking the carving tool from the table. "Even if it doesn't turn out perfect, it'll still be cute!"

"Aww Lottie, don't tell me you're afraid of a little gloop," Anya teased, rolling her sleeves up. "That's why you brought me along, right? To do the gross stuff for you?" Not that she cared. Hanging out with Lottie was always a fun time. She was so...sparkly. In both personality and appearance. Anya could use a bit of sparkle in her life. Besides, it not like she had a lot to do right now. She was just enjoying the festivities.

She got to work scooping out the insides of the pumpkin for her with a lazy smile on her face. "See? It's all gone. Now you can carve to your heart's desires. What were you thinking of making? Anything scary?"

[we-love-a-lottie-pumpkin]

Ok let’s consider who would be tik tok famous

Ok so lottie

Kinda

She’s like the soft girl on tik tok and you can’t change my mind

Ellie is the angsts lesbian who uses those sounds like “ok but where my butch angsts emo lesbians at.”

She tried to do the pov thing but ani found out and she archived that stuff so quick she was like “see ya later alligator.”

Can confirm that Lola and Micky greet each other by doing the woah

Jamie doesn’t know he has tik tok but ellie made an account for him and random year sevens ask if they can get a shoutout

Raph is like tik tok famous for being a lil twerp (I mean icon-)

And haru is that tik tok account that blew up but nobody knows why because his content sucks.

Yes I’m very salty about haru

And yes I think he doesn’t deserve rights

Or a redemption arc

Or anything

BUT THATS BESIDES THE POINT

[ironcherryblossomlover]

Imagine spending Halloween with Eddie Munson

Eddie Munson x reader imagines

Walking the cemetery holding each other's hands, while he takes pic of you with creepy angel statues, while he scares random people with a creepy ozzy mask.

You annoy Eddie with the monster mash song, while he annoys you with Holy diver and Thriller.

You surprise him a bag full of Halloween candy while he surprises you with pumpkin spice lotties.

Pumpkin carvings, while you watch him carve a middle finger into a pumpkin, you watch him throw pumpkin heads on Jason's head.

You and him rob 5 year olds candy bags

You and him toilet paper Jason's house in the middle of night.

He stashes the Halloween candy in his bedroom or somewhere in the trailer where his uncle can't find it.

[lottiestiara]

A Lottie Pumpkin Morning routine

Just a heads up that this is my personal preference and how I would imagine Lottie pumpkin to spend her morning at Rosewood!

First she would wake up to the sound of her alarm and before she gets out of bed she would hug truffles her stuffed pig.

Then she would make her bed as quietly as possible so not to wake up Ellie who is snoring away.

She would then brush her hair and teeth before getting into some pink workout clothes which she probably got from Victoria’s Secret or primark (depending on what mood she’s in).

Next she would go on her morning run through the grounds taking in all the beauty that Rosewood has to offer.

When she gets back to her dorm she will wake up Ellie then she might take a shower if she has a lot of time on her hands, but she won’t wash her hair until the night time as it’s so thick and curly it would be impossible to tame and dry in such a short amount of time.

She would then change into her Rosewood pinafore (if she had lessons, if not she would probably wear some blue jeans and a pink top or a dress or skirt depending on the weather).

Finally, she would head down to the breakfast hall with Ellie to meet Jamie and they would all have breakfast heading to their daily festivities. Lottie would probably indulge in some porridge, or some other kind of sweet breakfast food.

I’m very sorry if this isn’t how you would imagine Lottie morning to go but if you have any improvements that you think should be added please list them because I would love to hear everyone’s ideas! This should be a friendly community and no hate is tolerated. Thank you, kindly💖

[stormyth-art]

Ahhh....loveeee the art style it is so soo adorbs!!!!!Can you make a tutorial on how to draw Lottie Pumpkin plss!!!!!Ty....byeee!!!

Ahh, thank you! <3

Basically what I try to do with her is to make her look as innocent and young as I can while keeping in mind the way she’s described in the books

All these things contribute to the innocent look that I think fits her personality. (she’s also just described to blush a lot so I think that’s a really important feature to include)

and then when putting that into drawings I just try to think about her personality and try to capture that with poses and expressions

so a lot of blushing and kind expressions, or some awkward smiles, things like that.

But honestly, fanart is about your own interpretation of a character, so there’s no wrong way to do it, draw her how you imagine her to be and that’ll be great!^^

[moodlespinataisland]

Bart 🍭🔥🌧️??

BART TIME okay here we go

🌱 Silly headcanon? A good goof? Alright how’s this. So you know how Bart has a mask that looks like a pumpkin? I like to imagine he grew up on his family’s farm, run by his parents. His parents? Well, they’re called... Courgette and Zuchini. Which are the same thing. Zuchini’s (the dad) mask is vertical while Courgette’s (the mum) mask is horizontal. YES i only thought of this because i thought it was funny and you know what??? I was right >:)

🔥 His ENEMIES? Oh boy okay... I’ll have to think on that one......... Bart in general can get pretty grouchy, and that doesn’t vibe with everyone? But in general i think he gets along with most of the village... Jardiniero is someone he probably clashes a lot with though, and Lottie too. Just a trio of old people with big egos clashing and squabbling in the pub!!!

🌧 A sad headcanon... Okay this might be more bittersweet than anything but he probably helped teach some magic to the siblings before the incident, Stardos in particular! He liked having kids to teach and show off to! But of course that didn’t last... Dastardos probably has some small, secret respect for Bart, since that’s the only one of his teachers he never had any beef with (the other two being Jardiniero and an OC)

[lottiepumpkinofficial]

Part 1

“Tompkins Trikes”.

That’s what the sign said. Ellie looked up at Jamie inquisitively as he opened the door.

“Ellie, you need to blend in. Everybody in this town rides bikes, so you have to as well. Now be polite, I’ve done my research and the owner of the shop is too sick to be in store, so instead his twin children are. They are our age, Ellie, so be tactful and as pleasant as you can be. We need people on our side here.”

Ellie rolled her eyes, but smiled as best as she could when she saw the two teenagers standing in the shop. A girl, almost half the height of Ellie bounded up to her and squealed.

“Hi! I’m Lola, and this is Micky. You must be new in town, how exciting!”

Ellie looked at Jamie for reassurance, but all he gave was one eyebrow raising a fraction. She looked back at Lola, and grinned.

“I’m Ellie, this is Jamie,” Ellie motioned to Jamie who simply nodded, “we were wondering if we could buy a pair of bikes?”.

“A pair? Ooooh are you two-“

“No!” Lola looked down and Ellie felt bad.

“I mean, we’re more like siblings really. And I’m not really into guys. And I am oversharing.”

Lola looked up and her face immediately broke into another smile. She looked over at Micky, who during the conversation had wheeled a few different bikes into the room. A black one with flames caught Ellie’s eye and Micky gently smiled.

“I thought you might like that one. And here’s one you might like, Jamie.”

The bike was sleek and black, it fit Jamie’s personality perfectly. He would never admit it, but he imagined himself, for a second,cycling down a hill on the bike, with wind blowing through his hair. No, he should be wearing a helmet. It’s a good thing Ellie couldn’t hear his thoughts or she would have started to get reckless ideas about cycling.

“That’s very thoughtful of you, thank you.” Jamie nodded.

They paid for the bikes and left the shop wishing they’d asked the twins how to ride a bike.

“Well it can’t be that hard, right? It’s just pedalling.” Ellie shrugged.

Jamie squinted and looked Ellie in the eyes. “There’s much more to cycling than pedalling. We just need to find someone to teach us, subtly though.”

At that precise point, two energetic figured came round the corner on a baby pink bike, and a penny farthing? The girl on the pink bike was laughing at something the boy on the penny farthing said. Their eyes both fell onto the two newcomers, and they halted.

“Well hello there, I don’t think I’ve seen you two before,” the boy said, smirking at Jamie. “I’m pretty sure I’d remember that face. I’m Raphael and this is Lottie.”

Lottie blushed intensely and smiled. Ellie and Jamie looked at her, and she felt something fall into place in the back of her mind.

“Hello! Um, if you’d like any help with your bikes, let me know, I’m a bit of an expert.” She giggled at the sight of Jamie carrying his bike like a clutch handbag.

Jamie ignored the offer, his mind was somewhere else, but Ellie pulled her phone out of her ripped jeans pocket and handed it to Lottie to put her details in.

“So, you are?” Raphael queried. He was much more impatient than Lottie.

“I’m Jamie. This is Ellie. Thank you for your kind offer, Lottie, but right now we should be getting home.”

Jamie grabbed Ellie’s arm and they walked back to their new house that Ellie’s parents had bought. They put the bikes into the garage and their neighbour ran outside. She had huge round glasses, and a look of pure delight and curiosity on her face.

“Hi there! I’m Binah. You must be my new neighbours!”

“Yes, Ellie and Jamie. We just moved here.”

“Brilliant! Well right now you must be tired from travelling, but tomorrow we should go on a bike ride together and get to know each other.”

Ellie looked at Jamie worriedly; she didn’t want to seem like an idiot for not knowing how to ride. He ignored Ellie and looked down at Binah.

“Thank you, Binah. At the moment we’re still getting to grips with cycling, but we’ll definitely take up your offer once we’ve learnt the basics.”

Binah smiled and her whole face shone. “The best place to get help with cycling is Lottie and Raph. They’re absolutely brilliant. Raphael won a the Gene Flynn Penny Farthing Race last year in Hampshire. He was incredible. Penny farthings are really rather interesting. In fact the first penny farthing was designed so the wheels were the exact ratio of pennies and farthings, as they were believed to have a perfect balance, however when the first penny farthing was ridden, nobody could stay on it for longer than thirty seconds, as the weight of the large wheel made it impossible to go faster than 5mph, which meant that the balance shifted and everyone fell off. Oh dear, I’m rambling. I’ll let you rest now. It was nice meeting you.”

And with that she bounded off, back into her own house, leaving Ellie and Jamie quite speechless.

RWCH Readathon 2024: Day 11

Undercover Princess - Chapter 33

The continuation of the song and the christmas party

These other students are so rude, imagine youve just heard a beautiful song, in a language you dont understand, but has very clearly had an emotional impact on someone who does speak that language

AND THEN JUDGING HER FOR IT?

Lottie running away for air is so valid and i love that in this moment on her own before anyone comes out to find her, she lets herself be vulnerable and not think about her role and rosewood, and just lets herself feel homesick. Really homesick, for Ollie, and cornwall, and for how simple everything was.

It's a really scary feeling and I've had those moments when i was at uni and had responsibilities, though not quite like Lotties, and to be honest its hard to be that vulnerable even to yourself.

But then Ellie and Jamie come out to comfort her, and i adore that jamie is the one who brings practical warmth with the blanket, while Ellie brings emotional warmth. Its a really poignant way to show how they both care but in very different ways.

THEN WE GET TO HAVE THIS PERFECT LOLLIE MOMENT

Really letting lottie be herself around Ellie, showing herself in a way she really hasnt had a moment to since they first moved in. after taking on the role of portman lotties sole thoughts and interactions have been as portman. Not as Lottie Pumpkin.

Ellie's embarassed about the gift, and we dont get to see her be bashful often so you know she really really cares.

the way the box is described with the same long flowy sentences that connie uses for anythign almost magical, like the gardens and the opening porlogue paragraph. it really adds to the magic and sincerity of this moment.

Total opposites that go together. I love love love this. because while lotties tiara is the cresent and ellies box is the sunshine box, their outfits at the end have swapped this. The real princess - ellie - being represented by the tiara, and the sunshine box protecting it, - lottie

The best christmas ever.

low bar but understandable

Theyre my favourite i wanna hug them both so bad but also did they just ditch jamie? did he stay with Raph? i need to know. someone write a fic

fuck it i'll write a fic

25 Rosewood Drive

25 Rosewood Drive. That was the only thing she could remember. While everything else was a foggy mess inside her head, that specific address was so clear that she was afraid that it was a figment of her imagination.

25 Rosewood Drive. She didn’t know where it lead to or who could be living there. But, she decided that if she could remember that when she couldn’t even remember her own name, it was an important address and she should go there.

25 Rosewood Drive. She didn’t know where it was but, after a kind stranger with a twinkle in her eye and circular glasses gave her a map and circled the street name after she had asked, she went on her way.

25 Rosewood Drive. The house was tiny—she had almost missed it. It had light pink siding and the grass was so incredibly overgrown that she couldn’t see her feet as she walked to the front door. She hoped someone lived inside.

25 Rosewood Drive.

***

Jamie Volk was sat in a rocking armchair, pushing himself back and forth, back and forth. He could hear Vampy padding into the kitchen to get something to eat.

Knock, knock, knock.

His head shot up at the unfamiliar sound of the door being knocked. He turned his head in the direction of the door, trying to catch a glimpse of whoever it was through the small sliver of light between the curtain and window.

Knock, knock, knock.

Jamie lifted himself up. If it was another person trying to sell him something, he was going to kick them out the door.

Knock, knock, knock.

I’m coming, I’m coming, Jamie groused and yanked open the door.

What he saw stopped him in his tracks. She was just the same as Jamie remembered, if not a little older. Her blonde hair was thick and curly and her eyes were as wide as saucers. Lottie Pumpkin.

He hadn’t seen her in years. And for a split second, he was glad. But then he remembered how they had left it. What had happened between them. And Jamie shoved that euphoria down as far as it could go.

And then he remembered what world he was living in.

Lottie wrinkled her nose in thought. At least, a girl who was pretending to be Lottie. “Who are you?”

His face hardened and Jamie began closing the door. “Go away.” He scowled.

Lottie put her foot in the door. “Wait!” She exclaimed.

Jamie wanted to scream. Normally shapeshifters weren’t this good. Shapeshifters always got a detail off and their voices definitely weren’t this good. She looked and acted so much like the real Lottie. He couldn’t believe how gullible his mind was.

“No!” Jamie practically growled and put his entire body against the door. If this person wanted to play games with him, they deserved to get their foot jammed between the door and doorframe.

“Listen to me!” Lottie tried again, although her voice was strained as she was pushing to keep the door open.

The same stubbornness too, Jamie thought through gritted teeth.

“You have to help me! My memory is all gone and your street number is the only thing I can remember! Please! I don’t know who I am or who you are!”

At this, Jamie paused.

Lottie fell into the house, the door swinging in and bashing Jamie against the wall. She landed with a thud on her stomach on the carpeted floor.

Jamie stared down at Lottie. And this time he wasn’t so sure if it was a shapeshifter.

“It worked,” Jamie breathed, astonished. He took a step back. It had actually worked.

Lottie peered up at him curiously, pulling herself up. “What are you talking about?”

Saskia’s spell worked. It was unbelievable. After everything that the little snake had done against them, she had actually kept her word for one thing.

Jamie yanked maybe the real Lottie up to her feet and closed the door, double-checking it to make sure it was locked. “Don’t say anything or I’m throwing you back out.”

Lottie seemed to want to speak but she pursed her lips.

Jamie kneeled at the foot of his fireplace. The flames flickered and danced. Then, shoved his whole hand into the flames.

Lottie screamed.

Jamie glared up at her. “I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt me.” Lottie snapped her mouth shut. He felt around and pulled out the metal stick in the grove between the bricks. He yanked it out of the flames and shook it a little. “Lottie Pumpkin,” he said clearly and poked Lottie’s side.

The metal wand beeped once.

Jamie looked up at Lottie. His jaw went slack and the metal wand which could differentiate between a real person and a shapeshifter pretending to be them clattered to the floor.

“You died.” Jamie stated, staring intently at Lottie. “You’re supposed to be dead.”

“Am I Lottie Pumpkin?” Lottie asked hesitantly. “And are you okay?” She gestured to his hand which he had just plunged into fire.

Jamie sat down on the couch. He held his head in his hand. How was this possible? Both he and Ellie saw Lottie die. Right in front of them.

His chest hurt as he remembered that day. He wanted to forget it so badly but he didn’t want any mind manipulators rooting through his brain.

“Who are you?” Lottie asked again.

Jamie looked up at her. His mind was whirling. How had this happened? His mind went to Ellie and he wondered where exactly she was in the world. Japan? Somewhere in Europe?

“Please! Answer me!” Lottie said desperately. “Where am I? Who am I? Who are you?”

Jamie massaged his face. His brain hurt. He didn’t know how Lottie was standing here—alive. Nothing made any sense.

Finally, he looked up at Lottie who was staring at him intently, waiting for a response. “You are Lottie Pumpkin and I am Jamie Volk.”

Season of mists: John Wick/reader AU Pt 2

On the weekends you’re quite content to wrap yourself in a cosy sweater, light some candles and curl up with a good book. However your friend Richard has other ideas, forbidding you to be a hermit, and luring you out of the house with the promise of ‘fall fun’. You are sceptical, but when he mentions buying pumpkins you relent.

The nearest farm is an hour’s drive from the city and by the time you get there you’re eager to get out the car, flinging your arms wide and stretching your legs. The pumpkins are strewn around the ground between autumn leaves and you grin at your friend, grateful he persuaded you to come out and see such beauty. 

He snorts at you and starts complaining about his boyfriend in a good-natured way. You listen while trying to pick out a good pumpkin, fearful that most of the best ones have already been taken. You spot a lovely round bright orange one a few yards off and leave Richard, marching in your green wellies to grab it.

You bend down to see how heavy it is to lift when two hands thump down on the orange flesh, moving it out of your reach.

You stand, swinging your scarf back over your shoulder and are about to tell the interloper that this is your fucking pumpkin when….

“You must be kidding me!” the pumpkin snatcher gives a belly laugh, his malteser eyes dancing with mirth.

It’s Mr Wick. Mr John. Mr Boss man John. Oh fuck.

“We have to stop running into each other huh?” says John, still laughing like it’s the funniest thing ever. You scowl, kicking your boots into the leaves, trying to work out how to reply.

“You’re here getting a pumpkin?”

“Oh sure..yeah...I’m here with my niece and nephew…”

You look around. “I don’t see them.” you don’t know why you’re so suspicious and John’s smile fades a bit.

“They’re just back there…” he gestures and you see two small children nearby, playing on the swings that the farm set up.

You breathe a sigh of relief that he’s not some crazy maniac stalker. 

“Oh...cute.”

John looks you up and down and you feel suddenly very aware of your faded jeans, old sweater and fluffy scarf, your hair blown messy by the wind.

“Yeah…” he confirms with a smirk and you press your hands on your cheeks feeling them burning.

John bends to lift the pumpkin and you start to protest but he shakes his head.

 “Relax, you can have it...it’s just heavy...let me lift it to your car?”

“Thanks…” you mutter, stunned, and move back through the pumpkin patch towards Richard. You introduce him to your friend as ‘John’ not mentioning he owns the store where you work.

John balances the pumpkin in his arms and gives Richard a funny look. 

“Sorry...this pumpkin is heavy...can we move this along?”

You open the trunk and watch as John places the pumpkin inside. You cannot help notice how thick his arms are. It’s the first time you’ve seen him not in a suit, he’s wearing a white baseball shirt and dark jeans. His hair is soft around his face. He looks, in short, like the most handsome man you ever saw.

Two small curly haired adorable children rush up and start hitting him playfully. John holds up his hands in mock submission and they burst into loud giggles.

John gives them a playful glare. “May I introduce Lottie and Charlie? This is Y/N…”

He rumbles your name in his deep voice and you gape at him, before moving yourself to greet the children.

“We were going to go get hot chocolate…” you say cautiously “would you like to join us?”

John looks sceptical, eyeing Richard who is watching the scene with some amusement. “I’m not sure…that’s a lot of sugar for them..”

“Aw please…” says Lottie, batting her lashes at her uncle and you can see she has him wrapped around her little finger.

“Yeah….please…?” you add, pouting your lips and batting your lashes a bit for fun. The look John gives you in return is hardly playful, it’s so heated you feel way too warm in your sweater and you unwind your scarf from around your neck.

“Fine. Let’s go.”

The children cheer and race towards the snack cabin, Richard follows. You and John hang back a little. Somehow you’re in no rush to catch up.

“I’m surprised to see you here John.” you say, trying to sound casual as you use his first name.

“I could tell.”  he smirks, taking your scarf off you as you almost drop it in the mud. “You think I live in an office counting money, right? I know what the booksellers say about me.”

“Actually they focus more on your mysterious love life...apparently you’ve dated both supermodels and Hollywood actresses…”

John gives a loud barking laugh. “That’s not true. It was only one supermodel…”

You giggle, surprised at his humorous side and John’s eyes dart to your face.

 “You realise you look adorable right? I just want to check…”

You gape, once more a fish and he smiles almost in triumph, if it wasn’t so soft, shy and genuine, giving his eyes a warm glow.

“I…..I guess that’s where I’ve been going wrong. I’ll make sure to wear wellington boots next date I go on..”

“Isn’t Richard your boyfriend?” John looks confused.

You smile fondly back. “I think his boyfriend would have something to say if he was…”

“Oh….” John looks back and forth between you and your friend as if puzzle pieces are falling into place. For some reason, whatever conclusion he comes to seems to relax him, his shoulders falling and the lines on his forehead smoothing out.

He pulls his wallet out to pay for the six drinks and Richard gives a low whistle, whispering to you.

“Did you see that fat wad in his wallet? Actually...scratch that..did you see that fat wad in his jeans?”

You cover your face with embarrassment. “Shush! He’ll hear you.”

“Who the hell is he?” asks Richard, but you don’t have time to explain as John, Lottie and Charlie are back.

You sit on a bench, John opposite you. Charlie wriggles in beside you and you chat to him, asking him what his favourite books are, his favourite thing about fall.

You are so caught up in conversation that you don’t notice John staring at you, his own drink forgotten. It’s only when Lottie throws a marshmallow at her uncle and tells him to ‘stop being weird’ that you look up and see the expression of his face.

He looks guilty, having been caught, but he does not move his eyes from your face, rather he keeps them glued there. You scratch your neck feeling itchy where your scarf had been and his eyes track your movements like a sniper. Everyone finishes their drinks and moves outside and John takes advantage of the commotion to touch your neck with the soft pad of his fingers.

You startle and look up at him quizzically. “Your skin looks sore…” he replies by way of explanation. “Let me kiss it better…” he whispers.

You stare at him, not sure if you imagined the second part of his sentence, but the way he is looking at you, blushing and slightly nervous but with an unmistakable hunger in his eyes, you think you didn’t.

“John?” you say in a wondering tone

“Can I see you? Tonight?” he whispers hurriedly in your ear as you walk to the car. You nod dumbly and he grins in response, pushing a scrap of paper into your palm.

You stumble into the car, Richard asking a million questions as you start to drive away and open the paper. When you see it’s his phone number you almost throw it down like a cursed object, but then you grip it tight with shaking hands, knowing you have to find out what the hell this thing between is between you and John Wick.

Warning: this next bit is NSFW

You agree to meet John in a coffee shop down the street, not quite ready to let him into your tiny apartment, and he chooses a pumpkin latte, and you tease him about it.

“I just wondered what it tasted like in a cup...rather than all over me…”

You burrow your face into his thick wool coat, shaking with laughter and he pets your hair with a large gentle hand. You lift your face to look at him and are hit with a fond look that’s almost too much.

“Come on...let’s sit down…”

You sip your coffee to distract yourself and are instantly scalded, wincing and searching for water. John fusses over you with concern, moving closer and putting a hand on your back.

“Let me see…”

You frown but obey, opening your mouth and sticking out your tongue at him. He puts on a serious face, tilting his head to inspect it.

“Not life threatening.”

You pout and he leans in, suddenly closer than ever. “I have to confess something. I want to kiss you so badly…”

His pronouncement is earnest, his eyes flicking over your face. He looks almost fearful you will reject him so you reach out and touch his cheek, caresses there, feeling his stubble rub pleasantly against your fingertips.

“Why?” you ask, not sure how to respond so saying the first thing that comes into your head.

“Why?” John looks stunned, not expecting that response. “Because you’re cute...you’re sassy as hell...you were adorable with my nephew...because you spilt coffee on me and I can’t stop thinking about you…”

“Oh….” you nod, as if weighing it up, then you lean in until your lips are almost touching his. “then go ahead...”

He tastes of coffee and spice, deep and warm and delicious and holy crap you think he’s the best kisser you’ve ever known. He holds your face in his palms until you feel like you’re being swallowed up and takes command of the kiss, ravaging your mouth with a controlled passion that makes you throb.

When you part John is breathing hard and he drops his hands from your face, placing them on his thighs as if he doesn’t trust them not to strip off your clothes right there in the coffee shop.

“My apartment is just around the corner” he murmurs, looking at you with a puppy dog pleading glance and you nod before you can stop yourself.

He grabs your hand as you walk, holding it tight and warm against the cold autumn evening. He presses the elevator button for the penthouse and you hold your breath as you whizz high up, the view from the top is indeed dizzying. John pours a couple of glasses of wine and follows you onto the balcony. You shiver feeling a bit chilly but the view it worth it. He pulls you back against his chest and wraps his arms around you, kissing the side of your neck.

You turn in his arms and chase his lips, pressing your body against his, feeling his warmth spread into you. Your cold hands move under his shirt and he moans into your mouth. You know it’s fast, but it feels so right to be close to him that you’ve give up caring. John nuzzles your cold nose with his and tugs you hand back inside.

“Come on...let me warm you up…”

He flicks a remote and the fire lights up. You sit on the couch and watch him with round eyes as he loses his coat, kneeling next to you and tugging your sweater up and over your head. You’re only wearing a bra underneath and his eyes go dark, bending to kiss your collarbone. 

His gaze strays to your cleavage and you see him lick his lips. The motion goes straight through you and you grab his face, almost pushing him into your breasts. John makes a muffled sound of pleasure, kissing there before moving a hand round your back to unhook your bra. You let him, feeling helpless with want, and he covers your bare breasts with his palms, warming them before thumbing your nipples. Once he’s satisfied they are hard from desire rather than the cold he moves his mouth to them. He kisses down your stomach to your jeans and runs a teasing finger down the seam of the zipper, cupping you. You are sure he can feel your wetness even through the denim.

You arch under him, the most sinful sounds you’ve ever heard yourself make escaping from your lips. There’s something about him that makes you practically wild as though in heat. You tug at his shirt and he pulls it off, letting you stare at his chest, muscled down to a softer stomach which you trail your nails against fondly. The growl that comes from his chest is deep and masculine, making your head spin.

“I don’t normally...do this…” his struggles, his voice low and scratchy and you slide a hand on his knee to reassure him. Unfortunately it has the opposite effect, as you see his cock pressing against his jeans and you cannot resist squeezing it.

John yelps, sweating a bit and staring at you with almost black eyes. “I need to say...you’re my employee...technically….so...let me know...if you don’t want this…”

You push him back against the couch cushions and move to straddle his lap, your lips hovering over his as you talk.

“I want you John, I don’t care about your last name…”

He moves his head to try and capture your mouth and you move it playfully out of the way. His hands come to your hips then move to your butt, squeezing it and pulling you flush against his chest. Your bare breasts brush his chest hair making your tingle.

“Say it again…” he mutters, giving up trying to kiss you and instead moving his mouth to your ear, talking there.

You grind down against him, wishing you were both fully naked. “I want you….”

“Again…” he commands, moving his mouth back to your neck and sucking there. You whimper and grasp onto his shoulders as he simultaneously slips a hand into your jeans and rubs your pussy.

“Fuck…” you mouth falls open and lift yourself, trying to help him get a better angle as he slips a finger inside you.

“I said again.” he says, his voice staying surprisingly steady even as you start to fuck yourself onto his fingers.

“I….I want you…” you pant desperately, kissing him deeply then.

John stands up, putting his hands under your butt to lift you and you wrap your legs around his waist, never breaking the kiss which is turning dirtier and sloppier by the second. He carries you into his bedroom and you fall against silk burgundy sheets. He crawls over you like a predator, pulling your jeans off with a quick impatient motion and then doing the same with your underwear so that you’re laying, completely naked and exposed beneath him.

He looks you over as if assessing a valuer commodity. “God damn….who hired you? I need to send them a thank you card…”

You fidget with embarrassment. “John they hired me because I’m good at my job..stop teasing…”

He nods, standing and undoing his belt, which for some reason makes you shiver and almost leak against his bed. He raises an eyebrow watching you squirming on his sheets as his jeans drop to the floor revealing muscled thighs and a very prominent erection.  

“I know...but I feel like they hired you for me...such an amazing treat….”

His head is between your legs before you can even process his words and he is licking at you with enthusiasm.

Your cheeks burn hot with self-consciousness, but it feels so good you can’t help grinding down a bit against his tongue. His beard brushes against your inner thigh and you would eagerly agree to have him rub it all over you. He patiently works at making you come, his long fingers deep inside you, his tongue against your clit and it’s heaven.

Amongst a tirade of swear words you try to find the words to encourage him, but just end up begging, “Please John...oh please…”

Your words spur him on, glancing at you with hungry eyes he moves over your body. You feel the wetness of his cock brush your thigh and you know you both are close to losing it. You swallow and try to use your words.

“I want to feel you…inside me…”

John groans in response, pulling on a condom and pushing your legs wide so he can slip inside your wetness. He fills you and you almost sigh in relief. It’s such an amazing feeling and you savour it for a few moments before he starts moving, his beard grazing your neck as he leans down against you.

You know you should try and make it last but John already looks wrecked, his beautiful brown eyes almost closing but staying focused on yours, his hands trailing on your breasts before grabbing your legs and gently pushing them higher with a pleading look on his face. In response you wrap them around his back, letting him hit the spot deep inside you, so hard you almost jolt off the bed.

You like it rough, and his desperation is contagious, especially when he moves his fingers to rub at you while sliding smoothly in and out, his thick cock stretching you deliciously.

“Oh please…” you hear yourself begging again, and it seems to be John’s undoing. He gives a few more messy thrusts, his teeth moving to your shoulder almost folding you in two and his thumb rubbing circles on you in just the right way to make you come. You feel it, the pleasure that starts in your lower belly and builds up, before you reach the peak of it and let go, feeling it wash all over your body down to your toes, clenching around the man inside you who gives out a choked yelp, his hips stuttering as he comes hard.

When he drops beside you on the bed you can see his muscled frame is covered with a sheen of sweat and you run a hand over his chest feeling strangely possessive. John catches your wrists and kisses your hand, his eyes soft and trying to convey his feelings.

“Just give me a second…” he pants. “I’m trying to recover from the best sex I’ve ever had…”

You giggle and hide your face in his shoulder. “Shut up…”

He turns on his side to face you, warming to his topic and delighting in your response. “Oh yeah..I mean to be fair it didn’t last the longest...I was ready to come ever since I kissed you…but we’ll make up for that in the future…”

You stare at him, speechless and he smirks. “Not so smart mouthed now are you?”

“The future…?” You stammer, having figured this was just a one time thing to him.

John frowns “I didn’t even get to do half the things I wanted with you…”

You gape for a moment but manage to recover more quickly this time, matching his smirk and pressing an open mouthed kiss to his stomach. “Me too…”

John whimpers and pushes his damp hair off his face. “Such a dirty mind. I meant I want to curve pumpkins with you...and walk in the woods...and eat Halloween candy.”

Your heart melts and you push yourself into his arms. John chuckles, kissing your head and cuddling you close. “I can take that as affirmation?”

You nod, suddenly feeling small in his arms. “But no more pumpkin lattes…”

His lips skim the curve of your cheek and you feel your eyes grow heavy. “I found something that tastes better anyway…”

You push against him, feeling yourself growing wet again and he sighs, his thumb stroking down your spine to your lower back.

“We should sleep….it’s been a while since I’ve done that and I need to recover…”

You settle with your head on his chest, too shocked by the fact he wants to keep you close to argue.

“All right...” 

John closes his eyes and just before you drift off to sleep you see the trees outside moving gently in the breeze. The vivid orange leaves are tumbling to the ground and you are warm and cosy, lulled by the gentle breathing of the man beside you. Autumn truly is your favourite season. 

THE END.

(but then they get a dog)
