#male mc x estela

[cadybear420]

which choices scene lives in your head rent-free?

Literally every scene with Aiden lmao. But here are some particular favorite Aiden scenes:

At Brian's party where MC can show Aiden "some sexy moves". A bit of an awkward scene I have mixed feelings about but I headcanon Aiden eventually tries to learn some of those kinds of moves to impress MC. And when he actually shows them off to MC it just stops them in their tracks lol.

The scene where you can listen to Aiden play piano. That was the "no going pack, point of no return" moment for me, where I knew he was the LI I wanted to pursue in HSS.

When Aiden shows up to MC's door to ask them to homecoming with a violin tune he composed solely for that purpose.

And then when he has the audacity during the carriage ride scene at the carnival to go "I wish I could plan stuff for you" as if he didn't just compose a whole ass song just to ask MC to homecoming with.

When Isa tries to make Frank escort Aiden from the basketball game and you can have your MC stand between them to "defend Aiden's honor".

When you explore the basement with Aiden and you find out Isa wants to expel your MC and Aiden gets all like "I'll do everything in my power to make sure you're not expelled."

When MC and Aiden become official and Aiden straight up cheers and jumps in the air when MC says yes.

When they dance together to a Singin in the Rain song at the Golden Griddle

The scene where they walk along the beach at Caleb's party

Aiden's entire promposal CG

Their post-promposal cliffside picnic scene

MC and Aiden confessing their love for each other at prom

Many of the moments in their scene on the balcony, but especially when you can choose to shout the Circle of Life song to make an echo and how that eventually leads to MC liFTING UP AIDEN !!!!!

And as for non-Aiden scenes...

Kamilah saying "I'm her queen, and she's mine" in the climactic scene of BB book 2

Getting to spin Tyler in MAH in the scene where he and MC dance on the football field

Getting to defend Tyler from asshole jocks in a MAH premium scene

ROE Newlyweds where you have options to choose how MC and LI go into their new house together. Either having them walk in at the same time, having LI carry MC in, or having MC carry LI in. Obviously I chose the 3rd one and it did not disappoint. For the record I think all romance scenes in Choices should follow this kind of formula whenever possible.

[NSFW warning] TNA 3 was a trainwreck, but the smut scene in Ch1 gives you an option to play with Sam's ass and they describe MC slipping a finger between his cheeks. It was a very small scene, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time in PB history that a female character was allowed to get into her man's bootyhole and I was very here for it.

In a premium scene with Tom in Ch1 of ILB, you can choose to say this lil flirty compliment to him and he just jumps and scatters stuff on the boat everywhere.

All the moments in the Imtura/m!MC route where it's just so shamelessly r/RoleReversal. Like when she picks MC up, or lifts him and spins him around when they dance, when he wraps his legs around her waist, the numerous times they draw attention to Imtura's flexing biceps, etc.

Estela going "Do. Not. Touch. My. Husband!". I haven't played her route yet but this moment's mere existence is why I need to do an Estela x m!MC route immediately.

ES Book 3 Ch8/9? when they're in some cave/dungeon thing, Craig sees Zahra's decoy skeleton with the streak of maroon hair, and just screams and breaks down. Those two were easily my favorite relationship in that series and this scene cements it.

Drake's swimsuit CG in TRR 1. One of the few rare times where a male character wears an actually flattering swimsuit lol.

The premium scene in TRR 1 Ch1 where you can take Liam on a boat ride to see the Statue of Liberty. Fun fact, TRR 1 was the first Choices book I ever started, right when I first downloaded the app. Once he started talking about how much he appreciated my MC for that boat ride he won my heart almost instantly.

HSS:CA Book 2 ending where Ajay calls my MC "janu".

Val Greaves referring to empress Azura as "She Who Craps Lightning".

That one CG of the stripper running in BP.

Man I'm sure there's more lol.

Endless Summer Fantasy AU Chapter 2

A/N: Another annoying author's note in the way! Either way...these r things you should be reminded about...

Ships present in the fanfic:

Jake x Female! MC (Taylor)

Estela x Male! MC (Travis)

Zahra x Craig (Namasiao)

Sean x Michelle (Seanelle)

Grace x Aleister (Graleister)

Varynn x Diego (Variego)

Malatesta x Yvonne (Malavonne)

If you haven't checked out Chap 1, do check it out! :D Hope you enjoy!

The night had struck the kingdom. Silence is present in the grand palace of Aethiopia...

In her bedroom, Taylor watches the clock as its hands slowly tick its way to midnight. The moment they do reach midnight, the princess grins.

"The perfect time to strike." Taylor smiles to herself.

The princess rises from her bed, and dons a black cloak before exitting her bedroom. Lucky for her, her twin brother's room was just across hers. Taylor raises her fist and gently knocks on the door.

Tapping her foot in slight impatience, the pale-skinned girl knew that she had no other choice but to wait.

Finally, the door swings open. Travis strides out of the bedroom in the same black cloak Taylor is wearing, sleepily rubbing his eyes.

"Gee, do we really have to?" Travis says.

"Come on, we don't have all day...!" Taylor says in a hushed tone.

She grabs her brother's wrist and drags him with her.

"Are you sure Aleister won't reprimand us for sneaking out of our rooms at midnight?" Travis blurts out. "He did say we have a curfew..."

"At least we have a good reason to be awake," Taylor says, irritated.

The twins continued their way down the dimly lit corridors.

"If we get caught, I'm definitely going to blame you." Travis muttered under his breath.

"Hey, you were the one who said you'd help," Taylor says.

"I didn't know we'd do it tonight," Travis whispered back. "Where the heck are we going, anyway?"

"You'll see." replied Taylor.

Taylor pauses once she's reached a pair of large, tall doors. Travis stops right behind her.

Travis's brows raise, "The library? Isn't it locked right now?"

"True," Taylor hums. "but I have a key."

"Say what?" Travis exclaims. "How?"

Taylor grins, tossing her platinum-blonde hair over her shoulder. "Perks of being a princess."

Taylor inserts the key into the keyhole, twisting it...

"Is...that the key itself or a duplicate?" Travis asks in curiosity.

"The key itself," Taylor responds. "but don't worry, we'll put this back to where it belongs."

Taylor pushes the doors open, revealing a vast library filled with numerous bookshelves.

"Come on, I'll show you my progress." said Taylor, beckoning her brother to follow her.

Travis stalks off behind her, taking a few moments to gaze at the beautifully lit library. Taylor stops in her tracks before a long, brown table. Files and books were stacked on top of it.

"That's all I've got," said Taylor, pointing at the documents and books piled up.

Travis takes a book, beginning to flip through its pages. "This reminds me of the history lessons we'd take under Aleister's tutelage, to be honest."

"Believe me, I've spent hours in this library..." Taylor sighs.

Travis sits atop the desk, while Taylor takes a seat on a nearby chair, with both of them reading.

"All I see here is the history of Aethiopia," commented Travis. "How's that supposed to help us find the killer of our parents?"

"Well, it's important to know the history of the realm." Taylor says, shutting a book she'd just finished reading closed. "That way we can find out who's against our kingdom."

"I guess you have a point," Travis nods thoughtfully.

An hour passed, and the twins had already finished reading all the documents and books Taylor had stacked up in her hours of research.

"Still nothing?" Travis asks, turning to his twin.

"No...unfortunately." Taylor bites on her lower lip.

A curtain of silence draped over them...

"Why are you so desperate to find out who...murdered our parents?" Travis says ever so suddenly. "I mean, I know I'm upset, but...--"

"I'm scared."

Taylor's words made Travis pause mid-sentence.

"...What?" Travis asks, confused.

Taylor releases a heavy sigh, "I'm scared that it might happen to you, Travis. We lost Mother and Father before, and I...I don't want to lose you like we lost them. So I thought that if we'd catch our parents' killer...no one would harm our kingdom."

Travis's eyes softened. "Hey...you won't lose me, sis."

Travis climbs off the table, taking a seat beside her and flashing his signature smile at her. "In fact, we'll make Mother and Father proud. We can start by becoming great leaders to our people."

Taylor forces a small smile. "Thanks, Travis."

"Say...wanna keep searching?" Travis asks.

"You bet." Taylor beams.

The next morning, Taylor is seen sleepily snoring on her bed. She and her brother had gone to sleep at around three in the morning, so they barely got enough sleep.

The door to her bedroom slammed open, and the Royal Advisor, Aleister angrily stormed inside.

"Princess Taylor, your sleeping habits are completely intolerable!" Aleister yells.

Taylor groans, removing her sleeping mask. "What's the big deal?"

"Don't act like a fool, Princess Taylor." Aleister glares at her. "You've overslept, yet again!"

Taylor yawns, rising up from her canopy bed. "Yeah, yeah...Sorry 'bout that."

Aleister sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose as he shakes his head. "I'm quite disappointed in you, Princess Taylor."

"Well, I'll leave you be to dress properly for breakfast." said Aleister, walking off to exit the room. "I'll be expecting you to be in the Dining Hall in the next few minutes."

Taylor sighs as her advisor leaves. A dark-skinned beauty enters the grand bedroom, wearing a pale-orange maid dress with white frills.

"Your Highness," the maid politely curtsied.

"There's no need for the formalities, Grace..." Taylor says.

"O-Oh...I see." Grace meekly responds. "Here...let me help you prepare for breakfast, Princess."

"Taylor's just fine." said the young princess.

"I understand, Pri--I mean, Taylor." Grace quickly corrects herself.

Taylor smiles and takes a seat in front of her vanity, while Grace begins to brush her pale-blonde hair.

In the Dining Hall, Travis drums his fingers on the table, glancing around the room to find something that'd entertain him. Aleister enters, looking stressed. "Aleister," said Travis, snapping his head up to look at him. "Where's Taylor?" Aleister sighed, taking a seat across him. "She is still preparing, as usual. Your sister has been late seven days straight."

"That's my sister for you," Travis sheepishly laughs.

Aleister simply blinks.

"Uh...never mind." Travis awkwardly says, scratching the back of his head.

A/N: Just note that I wanted to make this fanfic for fun! Also, I’m really sorry if there r no ship moments yet! I wanted to introduce the characters first (at least two new characters per chapter). I hope you liked, reblogged, and left a comment/note! ^_^

Bang The Doldrums

(Male! MC (Zachariah). In which Zach and Estela dance or spar. Whatever you want to call it.)

Sorry for the wait nonnie. Also this is ugly cause I’m on mobile.

(X)

“Um, ouch.” Estela pouted, holding her arm while she glared at Zach.

“Ouch what? We’re dancing. So therefore I didn’t hurt you, because dancing doesn’t hurt.” Zach seemed proud of his reasoning. He knew it was a stupid thought. The medium sized boy just didn’t want to admit that he had made a mistake. A mistake Estela had taught him how to avoid multiple times.

“One, we’re sparring. And two, dancing can hurt.” Estela took the opportunity to kick Zach’s feet out from under him, “See? Sparring.”

It was now Zachariah’s turn to pout. “Hey! I wasn’t paying attention. That’s not fair! They don’t do this on Dancing With The Stars!”

“‘Cause they’re not sparring like we are.”

“DANCING!”

“SPARRING!”

“DANCING!” With a renewed vigor, Zach tackled Estela lightly into the sand, “Dancing, my love.”

He kisses her lightly on the forehead. He rolled off her and stared up at the night sky happily.

“You know I love you right?” Estela chuckled, seeing right through his sudden proclamation of love.

“I accept your apology for hitting me.” A bright smile broke out across her face. Zach admired how the shimmering moonlight hit her face.

“Oh yeah. That. You’d think I’d learn not to do that by now huh?”

“Everybody makes mistakes, mi amor. You just happen to make them a lot.”

“Hey!”

“But that’s why we practice. My Tio always told me practice makes perfect.”

“Dance practice!”

“How about we just call it practice, babe?”

“Ugh fine.” He dejectedly got up from his place in the ground, “Always sucking the fun outta things.” He mumbled.

“What was that?”

“Nothing, beautiful! Come on let’s practice what are you waiting for?” Zach put blindingly white grin on his face.

“That’s what I thought. Square up, you goof.”

Part 2 of ?? For sketch dump of another pairing in Endless Summer Spectre - Estella x Male MC (mine is Abel) The reason I made another one pairing because I made twin MC’s. It’s unfair if the female MC got her partner but the male one doesn’t. To make it fair and square, both female and male MC got each partners: Jake and Estella respectively. Sorry for those who choose Quinn and Sean as love interests, I only create pair of twins and I don’t want too much complicated romance plots here…. this is more to exploration adventure. Male MC here is female MC’s twin brother. He’s more mature and loves engineering, compared to his sister who prefer to socialize around with her allies. The curiosity kicked in when he saw Estella for the first time since he never met her yet. He felt kinda nervous to know more about her but he insisted to investigate every part of her: backstory, information, and her goal (In this story, Estella has a mission to rescue her mother that been kidnapped and imprisoned in Germany. I know her mother is already dead but this is AU, remember?) This time, male MC kept following secretly where Estela went to since he kinda worried on her safety. But in he end, she was the one who rescued him when he caught up in trouble. Even male MC was the person who responsible creating Memory Wonderland, not all of those places he went to explore. He only worked behind the scenes for it. As the time goes on, male MC kept putting himself in trouble as he explored and Estela started to have an emotional feeling of worried of losing him since he's the only one who know much place in Memory Wonderland in case she wanted to rescue her mother

Not The Last Time/Tell Me You Need Me (Estela X Male MC)

Title - Not The Last Time/Tell Me You Need Me (Estela X Male MC) Prompt - #91 “Tell me you need me.” Request - “estela/m!mc - any of these: 29, 79, 91 or quinn/m!mc - any of these: 42, 65, 72 ” From Anon Pairing - Estela X Male MC Word Count - 493

—

“Estela? What’s wrong?” You followed her with caution to the rooftop garden, escaping the noise of the group, leaving it behind you for the soothing sounds that the nature of La Huerta brings, the calming sounds of waves easing your nerves.

“Hm?” She turned on her heels to spot you behind her and then turned back to look over the island, “I didn’t see you there, MC..”

“You say that like it’s a bad thing that I am here,” you chuckled trying to lighten the mood slightly and muttered, offering her another option, “If you’d prefer to be alone, I can leave…”

“No, please stay. I’m rather relieved that you’re here,” she admitted with a sigh, her shoulders and back tense as she gazed out into the forest.

Her words were nice to hear but you grew more worried by them with every passing moment, your feet dragging you over to her, “Are you alright?”

She remained facing away from you and let out an exasperated sigh, feeling your fingers on her shoulders, barely ghosting over them, light touches from your fingertips, and as she eased against your touch you flattened your hands on her shoulders.

“I’m alright but…” she let out another long sigh as your hands traced the outline of her figure and rested on her hips, then moving to wrap around her torso, pulling her into a hug and burying your head into the crook of her neck, planting soft kisses on her skin.

She spun around sharply and placed her hands on your chest, your arms lingering on her waist, and your lips meeting hers gently and tenderly.

“Tell me you need me,“ she removed her lips from yours and hugged you with all of her strength.

The words caught you off guard and you flashed back to all the moments she had saved you from certain death and that you really had needed her every step of the way, every moment.

Considering it for a moment, but not hesitating any longer, you hugged her back and smiled, "I need you. I really do… God I need you so badly..”

Admitting it caused relief to flood over you, her hug loosening on you and her hands moving to your hair and her lips moved to kiss you roughly.

“Thank you, I needed that…” she panted against your lips as they then moved and trailed down her jaw to her neck, sucking on her flesh.

You had a feeling in that moment that it would not be the last time you said those words to her.

‘I wish there was more F!MC x F!LI covers in Choices. The only solo ones we have are Becca and Kaitlyn, and other ones like Hana on TRR or Quinn and Estela on ES have to be shared with the male LI’s. It would just be nice to have more diversity in their covers besides just a man and a female.'

Your smile - Naomi x f!mc fanfic

Summary: A late night call to assure Ivy won’t fall into Walsh’s hands ends up with the both of them trying (and failing miserably) to properly flirt with each other.

Author’s note: Sorry for the lack of content, I’ve had a busy week haha 😅

I’m also leaving tomorrow for a vacation (I’ll post a separate post about it soon/tomorrow), so I won’t be able to write for at least... A whole week and I wanted to share something before that! 😊

I LOVE Naomi! And I don’t see enough content about her in the fandom. It doesn’t help that we only had one diamond scene with her so far 😕 (although I’m grateful for the free content, at least we get to see her every week. But I wish PB would divide their diamond scenes more equally.)

So, as always, when there isn’t enough content out there for a LI I love, I write it myself! Hehehe 😁

(Also, if you do have/know-of some Naomi x f!mc content out there, please send it my way/tag me in it??)

Naomi reminds me of Estela, but her dynamic with my MC is so different than either of my MCs had with Estela (Either male or female). I’m fond of the other LIs, too, but I just like Naomi better.

I wanna point out that in the fic, at this point it’s pretty obvious for the both of them they’re attracted to each other but they never really acted on that.

Anyway, hope you’ll enjoy!

“Ivy???” Naomi’s voice from the other side of the line sounded eager, almost frantic.

Ivy rubbed her eyes, side-glancing at the clock as she groaned a response. “Yeah?” She mumbled.

It was 4 am and she’d spend the last few hours before finally heading to bed with Flynn, investigating Birchport’s docks.

She barely got any sleep, and now Naomi was calling her and sounding very keen and uptight.

Ivy’s eyes shot wide open when she realized what this could mean, and she rose into a sitting position on her bed, now fully awake. “Is everything alright?? Is there anything new on Kate?!” She gasped.

Naomi let out an audible sigh of relief. “You’re not in Shipwreck Sally's anymore, are you?” She asked, just to make sure but it sounded as if she already deducted as much.

“No, I’m not. Should I be?” Ivy was confused to what this could mean but she rolled with it and held the phone tighter in her hand.

“Oh, thank god.” Ivy could clearly imagine the glowing smile Naomi had as she heard the tone of her voice, and had to force herself to ignore that image and continue their talk.

“We just got a call on that bar. Duffy let out that something’s going on. Probably a simple bar-fight but Duffy and Walsh were sent to the scene and I knew you were supposed to be there earlier and so...” She can hear nervousness crippling into Naomi’s voice.

“I just didn’t want you to get into any trouble.” She admitted.

Ivy smirked, smiling to herself. “It’s not like just being in a bar is a crime.” She reminded Naomi, who chuckled as well. 

“Well I guess but Walsh’s already furious with you and--”

Naomi’s voice was interrupted with Ivy’s reassurance. “Don’t worry, I get what you’re saying.” She told her. “He’d take any chance to screw me over and this might just be it.” She nodded. Naomi had a point.

“And I’m very grateful for the warning, even though it was a false alarm this time.” She added.

“Even if I woke you up in 4 am?” Naomi asks, clearly embarrassed.

“Yes. Even if you woke me up in 4 am.” Ivy assured her again.

“Although I have to admit I could think of a few better ways for you to wake me up with this time of day but I’ll let it slide this time.” Ivy blurted out before she could stop herself.

There was a few long seconds of complete silence and Ivy cursed under her breathe for letting it out and using that kind of a flirty and suggestive tone.

What was I thinking?!? She scolded at herself, and it felt like forever before Naomi responded from the other side of the line.

“I’m... Done with my shift, actually.” Was the only thing she said.

A few other silent seconds had passed before the realization sank in and Ivy gulped.

“Oh.”

About twenty minutes later, Naomi was settling into the small bench in the balcony of Ivy’s room, in the B&B Ivy was staying in.

Ivy came out and joined her, sitting beside her and holding two cups of a much needed coffee, and handing one to Naomi.

“Ohhhh, yesss” Naomi took the cup in both hands, holding the warm beverage close to her face and letting it warm her before sipping from it.

“I wish I was the one making you make such noises-” Ivy let out once again, without thinking, and Naomi almost choked on her coffee.

Ivy hid her face, flushed red and embarrassed. “Oh god, I’m so sorry, I--” She started apologizing, when she heard Naomi’s blissful laughter fill the air between them, breaking any tension surrounding the both of them.

“You know your pick-up lines are horrible, right?” Naomi asked, unable to suppress her smile and still low-key giggling at her.

“Yeah but do work, don’t they?” Ivy allowed herself to be bold, since that seemed to be going better for her than anything else, as she grinned and leaned closer to Naomi.

Naomi caught her breathe, and was gazing deep into Ivy’s eyes, now fully serious and in control.

“I’d... Be lying if I said they didn’t have any affect,” Naomi bit at her lip, before moving backwards and shattering Ivy’s moment. “But you can do better.” She encouraged, before continuing to drink her coffee.

Ivy looked over Naomi. She was amused and definitely teasing.

Two can play that game, she decided.

“You’re right.” Ivy nodded, finally taking her first sip as well. She leaned against the bench’s back and made herself comfortable.

“My brain doesn’t exactly work in these kind of hours, but a girl as amazing and stunning as you are deserves better.” She side-eyed Naomi, watching if that was doing anything.

“Flattery will get you nowhere.” Naomi answered, but her words didn’t match her face. Her cheeks were a shade deeper and her eyes was mesmerized with Ivy’s lips, and Ivy let the side of her lips curl just the tiniest bit upwards.

“It’s not flattery when it’s true.” She merely shrugged. “But I’ll do you one better.”

“Oh yeah?” Naomi raised an eyebrow.

It wasn’t like most of their conversations. She and Naomi mainly kept it professional, probably because any kind of romantic relationship between them could either put the other in danger, and the circumstances were always inappropriate (How do you flirt with the deputy that was sent to investigate your best friend’s disappearance on her wedding day? Pro tip: You don’t.)

So besides opening up to her in the cabin in the rain, and cuddling a little, they didn’t really have any chances to openly flirt, like right now.

Maybe it was also the late/early hour of the night. 4 am always brought out a different side in people.

“But it’s gonna be cheesy as hell.” Ivy warned beforehand.

“Hit me with the best you’ve got.” Naomi assured.

“Look, I’m not a photographer, but I can picture me and you together.” Ivy winked, almost bursting into laughter even as she said it herself.

Naomi snorted at her, but joined in the laughter anyway.

“Did the sun come out or did you just smile at me?” Naomi suddenly asked, and it took Ivy a split of a second to realize she’d just rolled with her. She immediately started giggling again, and shifted closer to Naomi, resting her head against her shoulder as they both rolled in a wave of laughter.

“Do you know what material this shirt’s made of?” Ivy asked, batting an eye. Naomi could see the next line coming but she still looked over to Ivy in curiosity. “Girlfriend material,” Ivy winked at her.

Naomi shook her head, unimpressed, but the smile never left her face.

Their giggling probably could’ve been heard all through the street, but neither cared.

“That last one was really lame.” Naomi noted. “I thought you said you were gonna do better,” She pointed out.

“Yeah, but it still made you smile,” Ivy pointed with her finger to Naomi’s lips. “So I’d consider i’m winning either way.”

Naomi shrugged. “Maybe so.” She locked her eyes with Ivy’s again, and suddenly both of them realized how close they were.

Ivy studied Naomi’s face closely. Her smile was the most beautiful thing she’d ever seen. She was struck by awe, at how beautiful Naomi looked. She was actually breathtaking. Ivy’s heart grew twice it’s size, knowing she was the reason Naomi was smiling in the first place, and she felt her cheeks grow warmer.

She looked into Naomi’s chocolate brown eyes, feeling like she could drawn in them. Naomi’s eyes were half-closed, maybe from the exhaustion or the fact they were practically drawn to each other, right now. Maybe it was both.

Finally, Ivy followed Naomi’s gaze, as she realized Naomi was looking down over to her lips.

Without hesitating, they both leaned in and their lips met in a kiss. It felt like two worlds clashing together, somehow perfectly fitting with each other.

It was sloppy and messy, their exhaustion finally kicking in and washing over them, but it still managed to be really good.

Ivy felt a warm feeling spreading through her chest, sending shivers down her spine, as her lips moved with Naomi’s. Ivy could feel Naomi smiling into the kiss, before they finally pulled apart, resting their foreheads together.

“I know the girlfriend part might’ve been way too early, but how about a date?” Ivy was the one to speak up, sparks in her eyes as she watched Naomi.

Naomi raised her hand to caress Ivy’s cheek, and Ivy blushed under her touch.

Naomi managed to have a strong grip but a gentle touch. Ivy felt like Naomi could break anything any moment she wanted to, yet her fingers were so soft as they grazed her face and she blushed even deeper.

“Sound’s perfect.” Naomi said, giving another light peck to Ivy’s lips. 

“Although I think we could both use a good night’s sleep before that.” She said, breaking away from Ivy.

Her own cheeks gave away the faintest shade of crimson, and Ivy was glad she wasn’t the only one who was flustered. 

Taking a moment to assess their situation, Ivy looked back into her room.

“You... Could stay here, if you wanted.” She suggested. “Don’t worry, we’d both go to sleep. Just... Together?” She immediately added, biting at her lower lip and beaming at Naomi.

“I wasn’t worried.” Naomi smirked as she rose to her feet, helping Ivy up with her.

They both got back in and settled in Ivy’s bed. Ivy was still in her PJ’s and she lent something for Naomi to wear as well.

The look of Ivy’s shirt over Naomi’s body was a good look, and if sleep wasn’t washing over her she might’ve responded to the growing heated sensation in the lower part of her stomach.

As Naomi laid beside her, Ivy shifted closer, cuddling into Naomi’s shoulder. Naomi’s hands wrapped around her and Ivy nestled in the crook of her neck, murmuring contently.

“G’night... Beautiful.” Naomi sounded a bit nervous but also determined, and Ivy couldn’t help but tease.

“See? My pick-up lines weren’t that bad.” She said, not bothering to open her eyes.

“Shut up!” Naomi called out, as she chuckled, running soothing circles over Ivy’s back.

Soon, sleep was about to wash over the both of them. Just before she drifted away to sleep, Ivy hooked an arm over Naomi’s body, mumbling. “Goodnight, beautiful.”

Endless Summer Disney AU

Hello! No one's probably gonna see this...but I just wanted to make a Disney alternate universe of ES and see how I do! Btw, these AU fanfics r made mainly bcs of...my OTPs and ships. If you don't ship that pairing, then don't read it lol.

So...let's start off with the easiest (probably) one!

Jake x Female! MC (Taylor)

Hm. This one's easy for me. I think the movie Tangled suits this couple. I THINK. Here's my explanation:

Taylor, as I'd like to call her, seems like an adventurous and outgoing girl. Much like Rapunzel, who's been locked in a tower for so long by Mother Gothel.

Rapunzel wanted to...explore the world and find out what those lanterns meant to her and stuff like that (No hate pls XD I don't rlly remember much abt the Tangled movie). So I think Taylor & Rapunzel are similar in a way.

Jake and Eugene/Flynn are similar to one another too. Both are practically running away from...idk public life I guess (Eugene/Flynn didn't want to get caught, and Jake...well, I think he's hiding from the public and what-not after the incident with Lundgren). And I guess they both have dry, sarcastic sense of humor.

Btw, just a note, Lila will be Mother Gothel. Maybe. Idk. XD

Zahra x Craig (Namasiao)

Okay. This one's tough. Ihdk what to do with them! They're one of my OTPs in ES (if not, they're my ultimate OTP)! Let me try to elaborate their character traits here...

Zahra is a computer whiz...since she's shown to have hacking skills. So let's say she's a couch potato, who's always sitting in front of her laptop/computer and drinking coffee. I'd assume she likes staying indoors, since it could be implied she's always on her computer. So...which Disney princess/female character stays indoors?

Welp...Cinderella.

I know. I suck at this. XD

Okay, I KNOW Cinderella & Zahra are NOTHING alike. But...they do share a trait of staying indoors. Cinderella stays indoors because she needs to work for her stepmother and stepsisters and what-not...Zahra, meanwhile, stays indoors for her own pleasure and comfort.

I guess Zahra & Cinderella r both dedicated to their work/hardworking...? Cinderella to her chores, and Zahra to...idk hacking?

Craig & the Prince? I don't even know anymore XD I'll try thinking this through. The stepsisters could be...erm...uhhhhh....Michelle & Estela?

Okaydon'tgetmewrongIloveMichelleandEstela

Buuuut for the sake of the story, I feel like...

ERGH! WHY DO THINGS HAVE TO BE SO HARD--

Idk. Estela & Michelle acted a bit hostile towards MC in the beginning...so why not make them the stepsisters?

And if you guessed that Lila will be Lady Tremaine? You're damn right XD

Varynn x Diego (Variego)

This one's tough too. I think...I think the film/series Aladdin is suitable for the pair. Think about it! There's no...boy x boy in Disney movies (I think. Sorry if I'm wrong).

Diego could be Aladdin? Idk. I feel like Diego is the type who wants to explore the world...kinda like Aladdin maybe.

Varynn...I feel like he also wants to explore the world (with Diego duh XD). Idk if he could be Jasmine tho. XD This might be weird...

And Diego can "show him the world" XD

Erm...anyway!

Diego could be Jasmine...since Varynn is the one who rescues Diego and stuff...similar to how Aladdin saves Jasmine buuut for the sake of me not trying so hard, I'll just...make things easier for me XD

Jafar (is that how u spell his name? XD) could be Rourke, I guess...?

Sean x Michelle (Seanelle)

Yay! One of my fave ES ships! Buuuut I had a VERY hard time choosing an appropriate Disney film for them!

I picked Sleeping Beauty to be the Disney film for the couple! Hopefully my explanation can convince you...

Okay, I don't know much about this movie...but I think Aurora & Michelle are similar in a way.

I consider Aurora to be...elegant, regal, and...idk whatever describes her. Michelle can be considered elegant and regal too, I mean c'mon!

Aurora...I guess she could be delicate? Like a rose (cuz uh...Briar Rose?)? XD I suck at this

Michelle could be considered delicate once you break through her shell...

Sean & Prince Philip (however u spell his name)...idk what their similarities are. I guess they're both heroic since they, like, save people?

I don't even know what to do anymore lmao

Grace x Aleister (Graleister)

I had a tough time picking for these two (yes, I know I've said that almost a hundred times now buuuut it's true lol).

I wanted Beauty & the Beast for them both...'cuz...

Grace & Belle r both bookworms

Aleister & the Beast were both hostile towards their love interests at first Buuuuuut...

Eh...I feel like Beauty & the Beast is suitable for another couple tbh. I'll explain that later.

I think Swan Lake/The Swan Princess (even if it isn't a Disney movie) is fitting. Grace's Hadean zodiac sign is the swan/cygnus, so...why not?

Aleister...idk.

I just feel like Swan Lake/The Swan Princess is more suitable, and not Beauty & the Beast.

I honestly wanted it to be Snow White buuut who'd be the seven dwarves? It'll be hard for me lol

Plus, who'll be Grace's father (if I'd pick Beauty & the Beast for the pairing)? XD XD

Estela x Male! MC (Travis)

This one's hard too......

Maybe Mulan could do? XD Idk.

I'm a Chinese so it's REALLY hard for me to pinpoint which Disney movie is suitable for that certain pairing.

Estela is warrior-like in a way, and she's capable of fighting and doing her own stunts. Travis, as I prefer to call him, isn't as...skilled as Estela (as what I've observed in the ES books...).

Eh, I don't really know.

Instead of having Estela as Mulan and Travis as Shang...why not swap it? XD Estela cld be Shang so she'd train Travis (who is Mulan)...and what-not.

...Moving on.

Malatesta x Yvonne (Malavonne)

This may be my favorite storyline...

I was doing a bit of research...

And I thought, "Why not Beauty and the Beast?"

Okay. Even if I decided to erase this thing from my head, I still think B&B is suitable.

Think about it, B&B (Beauty & the Beast) took place in France. In the beginning, the townspeople greet each other and/or Belle with a "Bonjour!" which is "Hello." in French.

Yvonne & Malatesta r French so...why not?

Who'll be the father tho, you may wonder...

Soooo...Belle's father is named Maurice. And we don't know Yvonne's father so...

...I kinda, sorta, maybe, changed some details.

So instead of having a father for Yvonne/Belle...I just changed it to a brother! ...Since Yvonne has a younger brother named Patrice! How convenient!

Well, Yvie & Mal clearly didn't get along much at first, but they soon opened up to one another (like before I guess?). Similarly to Belle & the Beast.

Quinn x Kele (Idk what to call this ship lol)

Not really a shipper of this, but it seems cute I guess. (No hate if u don't like this ship lol pls)

The Disney film I chose for them is...the Little Mermaid!

Cuz...umm...Quinn is a dolphin lover and dolphins r kinda similar to mermaids... Okay, idk if Kele cld be Prince Eric tho...

Maybe, maybe not.

They seem like the type of guys who venture throughout the world and stuff like that...so I could see similarities.

Quinn cld def be Ariel, since they both want to go out to the world and live the moment...

Onto the friendships!

Estela & Quinn

Okay, this isn't a ship. This is simply like a Brotp. Upon doing some research, I thought of...Frozen!

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Frozen, but I feel like Frozen can suit their friendship.

I thought Michelle could be Elsa...but, eh...I kinda changed my mind. Estela and Elsa are similar to one another. They're quick to anger (I guess?), introverted, and they don't want their loved ones to get hurt. And plus, their names start with an 'e' and end with an 'a'...

Quinn & Anna are similar to one another. They're both outgoing, sociable, and bubbly. However, Anna gets a frozen heart bcs of her sister Elsa and it can cause her death. Quinn, meanwhile, has Rotterdam's.

Estela x MC: 21. Vacation - Not-so-sick Day Drabbles

I used the default name of Taylor as I wasn’t sure if you wanted a male or female MC, so I hope that’s okay, Nonny!

Also, I highly recommend anywhere on the Cote d’Azur. One of my fave parts of the world, hands down!

As requested by anonymous:

21 MC x Estela please?

Taylor would never have pegged Estela as someone who would pick the Cote d'Azur to vacation, but here they were in Nice enjoying the Mediterranean sun. Maybe a place with ruins, or the hustle and bustle of a big city… but the French Riviera, where rich Europeans play? Never in a million years.

Estela hummed in appreciation while they strolled the Promenade des Anglais, taking in the glittering sea just beyond the pebbled beaches.

“Something on your mind?”

“Can’t I just appreciate something for its beauty?” Estela asked, eyebrow raised.

“Sure you can, but I’ve never known you just to appreciate something based on looks,” Taylor laughed.

“Then it must be a mystery why I started going out with you,” she grinned. “Besides, after everything that happened, I decided maybe it’s okay to stop and smell the roses sometimes. Or maybe just live, you know? In fact, there’s this thing I’ve been dying to try.”

“Oh, what is it?”

“This.” As they continued down the seafront, Estela did something she had never really done before - hold Taylor’s hand.

[deztinywarriors]

This is one of the climax plot for estela and male mc. previously I already drawn the sketches of Jake and female MC in previous post. In this part, male MC joined some ES gang to stop robotic armies that controlled by Rourke which they need to control the giant robot (like Power Ranges or Pacific Rim stuff). however it only allowed two person at one time to control it so Estella and male MC volunteered. but battle by battle makes them getting weaker until male MC make a sudden action to take them down … until Diego thought there has gundam reference Previous: http://deztinywarriors.tumblr.com/post/167336866420/this-is-one-of-the-climax-plot-for-estela-and-male Until the moment was over, male MC ended up dying slowly and informing that the war is ended, he realised he and his twin sister, female MC will be vanished slowly...... and another last kiss before male MC gone..... ....... Alright. I'm thinking to draw another Canon pairing: Grace x Aleister and Craig x Zahra as well as another characters including my OC's (Yup, I have OC's to be used in Spectre story) but if anyone wanted me to draw anything else including Jake, just ask me

one more minute - a quinn x male mc fic

i’ve noticed that quinn is quite underappreciated within the choices fandom, so i decided to write this, enjoy!

summary: luke and the rest of his friends finally find a way to escape la huerta, but what happens when his connection to the island and relationship with rourke may prevent him from going?

[[this actual chapter hasn’t come yet, it’s just a fanfiction sdjhs]]

word count: 838 (1,012 with alternative ending).

“luke, hurry!”

sirens blasted around luke as he ran, panting within every breath. his eyes searching for one person and one person only.

her.

luke ran to catch up to quinn and the group, but the metal doors slammed in front of his face.

“no!” he yelled, slamming his fists onto the door. he heard something, or someone ram into the door and saw a pair of eyes looking through the small glass window.

“i’ll be alright, craig,” he assured as he heard craig let out a pained sob.

luke looked through to see all of his friends smiling sadly at him. he noticed diego sniffling as varynn held him, zahra rubbing her thumb across craig’s brusied knuckles as michelle cleaned up some of the scrapes, jake and mike embracing, everyone just comforting each other.

they were a family, a broken one, but a family.

time had finally caught up with reality. everett rourke was more determined than ever to turn luke and his friends into lab rats, but luke was making sure that his friends got off the island safely.

his wife-to-be walked up to the glass, placing her hand on it gently. luke smiled sadly at her, wondering how she was always so optimistic, even in the saddest of situations. he placed his hands against hers, only meeting cold plastic rather than soft skin.

“i love you, quinn. i love all of you,” luke stated. the group started to recompose themselves, “and that is why you all need to go, now. i’ll catch up, i swear-”

“no!” estella shouted, running for the metal door as sean and jake held her back. tears ran down her face as her hair fell to her eyes.

“yes,” luke said, “go.”

estela looked up at her friend, eyes bloodshot red. with a small nod, she turned and began to lead the group. raj and grace gave luke a small wave, hoping they’d be able to see him again.

with a deep breath, luke turned around and heard stomps approaching. he looked back one last time to meet quinn’s eyes.

“i love you,” she whispered, sighing as she ran to catch up with the group.

everett rourke opened the door from the other side, smirking as he saw the boy. tetra and fiddler entered shortly after.

luke glared at rourke. “rourke, enough is enough. it’s time you and i have this conversation, alone.”

the businessman rolled his eyes, shooing his workers away. “oh, how i have waited for this moment,” rourke smirked. “sure, the rest of the group is interesting, but you, luke, you are quite different from the rest.”

luke ignored the chills that went up his spine, standing tall against the man whom he loathed. the man who was taking everything from him. with clenched teeth, luke found his fist connecting with the man’s jaw. he was sick of everything. he just wanted rourke to leave him alone.

rourke stumbled back, surprised by the sudden contact. however, he only smiled and punched luke in the stomach. “stop. fighting.” rourke commanded. luke scoffed. “i’m not like your other toys, rourke. you can’t control me.” he punched the man in the nose and heard a crack.

however, the metal door with the glass door suddenly opened and luke ran through, the doors shutting immediately. “come on!” zahra shouted. luke grinned as he saw all of his friends.

“luke!” quinn yelled, running to him. he grinned as she leaped into his arms, his arms instantly tightening around her. “you’re okay,” he sighed happily. “you’re all okay!” she smiled and caressed his cheek. “did you really think that we would leave without you, that i would leave without you?”

luke grinned. “i couldn’t imagine it any other way.”

aliester coughed awkwardly in the background, causing jake to smirk. “sorry to break up your little...reunion, but we’ve got places to go,” the blonde stated. luke put his lover down.

“we found an exit. we don’t know if it will work, but we have to try,” michelle said. sean smiled at her, nodding. he was proud of the woman she had become. “we can get there in ten minutes if we move quickly,” sean stated.

“well, what are we waiting for then? you heard him, let’s go!” jake said, running in the direction michelle was pointing towards. the group found themselves at an odd portal shortly after, one that looked nothing like the one they had found months ago.

“where does it lead to?” craig asked. luke grabbed quinn’s hand, smiling at her. diego grabbed his other and smiled at his best friend. varynn grabbed diego’s hand and the whole group eventually found themselves lined up with one-another.

“only one way to find out.”

the group jumped in and found themselves spinning through time. everyone began to float as rainbow swirls danced around them. luke’s lips found quinn’s and whether the two of them made it home together or not, luke just wanted to hold his fianceé for one more minute.

[end].

ALTERNATIVE ENDING (just continue on from the previous sentence):

luke felt time separating them apart. “quinn,” he whispered, a tear falling from his eye. he didn’t want to leave her, not like this, not ever. this was the woman he had been planning to marry. “n-no!” quinn shouted as she lost his grip. “i love you,” luke declared.

the group hit the ground and found themselves staring at a sight that seemed all to familiar.

“we...we’re home!” craig grinned, looking at the hartfeld football field. sean clasped a hand on his shoulder. “not all of us, buddy...”

the group turned to see quinn sobbing. michelle knealed down next to her. “quinn...he, he probably just landed somebody else. he’s here, don’t worry.” 

quinn shook her head. “the island...he’s at the island,” quinn said softly. michelle frowned while jake walked over to quinn. “ariel...i’m sorry.”

quinn’s body shook as she cried, thoughts becoming fuzzy. she didn’t hear everyone pitying her. she was only focused on the small ring against her chest. “i love you too, luke,” she whispered, a tear falling onto it.

Let’s talk about Choices

I got into the Otome game late. For a reference, TC&TF, all of The Freshman Books, Rules of Engagement Book 1, 2, half of three, and Most Wanted (Hiatus) were already done. Hero and ILITW were on breaks. (I’m probably missing a few but still) When I joined the fandom most of the books I was interested in had female only MCs. As a female I didn’t mind it. I did however, see the issue. 

The first book I played was Love Hacks (fite me, I love them). In it we were able to play as the MC as well as the other characters. (Not as much as I’d’ve liked) There was also a fair bit of choice with the MCs appearance (I don’t get the hate on the art, I loved it). As I played and poked around Tumblr, I realized that Love Hacks was the beginning (to me) of a new trend with Choices. 

I tried to play The Freshman from Book 1 but it got really annoying really quickly  and saw that the choices, when compared to Love Hacks were very limited. This was probably what turned me off to the series. I picked it back up From Book 3 and wasn’t disappointed. (ZIG) 

I then migrated (Before TF) to Rules of Engagement. I had previously read a book similar to the premise and was interested. I was surprised by the fact that we couldn’t choose our ethnicity for that book. I let it pass because MC and her family were half Filipino (?? Correct me if I’m wrong) (I was also heavily invested in party!Twin’s relationship with Blake. It was golden)

I started High School Story (I had the other app years ago and I wanted to nostalgize) and I was surprised that I had the option to play as a male. I didn’t because, as I said, I’m a woman and it wasn’t that big a deal. 

The difference came when I started playing Endless Summer (RIP). At first I was playing as a girl but I didn’t like the choices I had. So I started over playing as a young black man. I realize not much changes between MCs but I like the dialogue and choices I got better. (Taylor X Estela forever) it was a refreshing change of pace. 

That said, I realize how men who play Choices can get irritated with the lack of options to play as a male. We have 3-4 books where you can play as a male. and two of those aren’t even for the full book. (Correct me if I’m wrong)

I realize that designing and coding for multiple looks on multiple genders is a lot of work but I think half of that work could be cut in half if PB polled their audience to see what they wanted. 

I saw a post, it might have been a confession on an anon blog, that said something along the lines of “I want the next book PB releases to force the player to be male” and honestly, I agree. Switch it up. Make us play as a male. The dialogue, for the most part, could stay the same, as it did in ES. 

I wouldn’t have a problem playing as a male, so long as we’re given the same variety we receive when playing as a female. 

Along the topic of gender, shout out to Andy of ILITW for being the first (and only??) trans character from PB. And Cameron of HSS for being the first (pretty sure only...) non-binary character from PB. 

PB is starting to make strides by the way of, two out of however many is small but it’s still something.

That’s all I have for you at the moment. Thanks for reading!

Not Unless We Have To (Estela X MC)

Title - Not Unless We Have To (Estela X MC) Request - "Could you do a female!MC/Estela fic please with the prompt “You have something in your hair, umm… Do you want me to get it out?”" - Anon Pairing - Estela X MC Word Count - 364 --- "I brought you a blanket," you smiled and cautiously handed it to her, a grin brightening her features as you did. "What do you want?" She asked, as if expecting something. "Nothing. Just thought you might be cold," you admitted, taking a seat next to her. She stared at you suspiciously before taking the blanket and covering the both of you up. "I guess I'm just used to people doing things expecting something in return," she chuckled halfheartedly, scooting closer to you to get the small blanket to reach across both of you. "Yeah..?" You sighed and mimicking her chuckle you continued, "Well, I'm planning on sticking around so you might want to get used to it." A peaceful silence came over the both of you and you found her leaning her head on your shoulder, "Is this okay?" "Of course," you smiled and ran your fingers soothingly over her back. She sat up for a moment, still leaning towards you, and stared into your eyes as if searching for the answer to an unspoken question and when she found the answer she placed her lips gently on yours. Her lips tasted of mangos and peaches, her tongue meeting yours and sending off fireworks around you. You both pulled away for a moment and searched each other's faces and eyes in hopes for an idea of what to do next, silently asking each other, "what next?" She broke the silence with a whisper, “You have something in your hair, umm… Do you want me to get it out?” You chuckled and rolling your eyes slightly, "Sure." She messed with your hair for a moment and placed another gentle kiss on your lips. "Do you want to go back?" She asked, pulling the blanket up. "Not unless we have to," you smiled and leaned over to lock her lips with yours again.
