“Drake? Drake? Would you like some water?”

“Whiskey,” Drake rasped opening his eyes. He was lying on the couch in his living room, which meant Liam had to carry him after he passed out. Which reminded him...

Savannah and Betrand.

No... No!

“I gotta go, I need to find her,” Drake stood up and instantly felt dizzy.

“Go where? Find who?” Liam asked him curiously handing him a glass of water, clearly ignoring Drake’s plea for alcohol.

“Savannah. Wherever they went. I know I can find her. She is alive and okay, I know.”

“Drake,” Liam spoke softly. “The police said--”

“I don’t care what they’re saying. I’ll find her. Where did they go?”

“They were last seen in England,” Liam sighed and Drake’s eyes widened.

“England? What would they be doing there? It’s not exactly a honeymoon destination.”

“Apparently Bertrand had some things to do there and they stopped by on their way back home,” Liam rubbed his temples. “Listen, I know it is hard for you but--”

“You know nothing! Why wasn’t I informed about them going to England? Why didn’t my sister ever mention it to me? And why did the police just said to treat them as if they were dead? For how long were they missing that they decided on that?” Drake raised his voice and Liam winced.

“They were missing for four days before the police--”

“Four days and I find out about it just NOW?!”

“I thought I’d wait with telling you because I believed they would find them. I’m sorry, Drake,” Liam looked so miserable that Drake couldn’t even raise his voice again. He sat down next to his friend and tried to suppress his tears.

“Don’t you think it’s weird?” Drake asked calmly.

“It is. I already sent a private investigator there, we’re in touch.”

“Good. I don’t believe it was an accident. Madeleine organized the trip.”

“Drake, she organized the honeymoon and nothing bad happened there. They went missing later.”

“You don’t believe me?” Drake looked at his friend as Liam shook his head.

“I do believe something is off but... I don’t want you to get your hopes up. It might have been an accident.”

Drake rolled his eyes before something else occurred to him. “Where’s Bartie?”

“He was staying with Barthelemy and Madeleine, Betrand asked them to babysit him for the week.”

“Who’s gonna take care of him now?” Drake asked, dreading the answer.

“Them, for now. You’re still Bartie’s uncle so you can visit him anytime you want.”

Drake nodded but his mind was elsewhere. He needed sleep, he needed whiskey, he needed peace.

“Hey, get some rest, man. I’ll see you tomorrow, okay?” Liam patted him on the back and headed out without Drake even noticing. Drake sat on the sofa for hours, staring at the wall, before finally drifting off.

~~~~

The next few days passed in a blur. Everyone in Cordonia already knew about it and it all somehow made it even worse for Drake. It felt as if it was real.

Barthelemy closed himself in his study and did not want to talk to anyone for days. Maxwell didn’t smile for days and Drake couldn’t even drink whiskey. And Liam... He tried to keep it together for his friends’ sake.

A few days later, everyone from the Beaumont and Walker families (with exception of Bianca who was too depressed to come and with addition of Liam who wanted to support everyone) met over dinner, a small ceremony commemorating Betrand and Savannah. They didn’t want to organize a regular funeral without the bodies so instead they prepared a small ceremony in Madeleine and Barthelemy’s mansion.

Drake wanted to hate them and tell them off, just like he rehearsed every day in the shower. He couldn’t. Not with Bartie in the room who wouldn’t stop crying. He wanted to see people responsible for everything. Instead he saw a mouring father who cried over his beloved son. Even Madeleine seemed very quiet and sad. Drake felt tears on his face when he looked at Maxwell singing something to Bartie through his own tears.

“I can’t believe it,” Madeleine approached Drake handing him a drink. “I haven’t known Savannah for too long but she was the best sister I could only dream of.”

Drake looked at her as Madeleine was studying him. “Yeah, she was a great sister when you and your friends made her leave Cordonia.”

“I didn’t make her leave. She left because she felt she didn’t belong. You don’t have to believe me but I truly loved her and I am very sorry for what happened.”

“You’re right. I don’t have to believe you,” Drake narrowed his eyes and walked away, leaving Madeleine with her drink. He stopped in the doorway, looking at Bartie and feeling as if he was about to cry again.

“I see Bertrand every time I look at Bartie. It’s almost unbearable,” Barthelemy patted Drake on the back as he stood next to him.

“What do we do about him? I don’t want him to be raised by nannies, I can take him to me,” Drake said and heard the old man sighing.

“I would never agree for Bartie to be raised by someone who’s not family. That’s not what my son would want,” he said blinking a few times to stop tears from falling. “Listen, I don’t want to fight. I lost my son and I don’t want to lose my grandson as well. I think we all should take care of him, you, me and Maxwell.”

“Yeah, that acually would work,” Drake admitted.

“Week for each person? Until he’s old enough to make a decision where he’d rather stay?” Barthelemy proposed and Drake nodded.

“Sounds good to me.”

Barthelemy nodded and walked up to take his grandson from Maxwell. The little one immediately stopped crying and Drake thought that maybe Barthelemy was not as bad as he believed him to be.

~~~~

“So, what’s the news? Anything from the detective?” Drake asked entering Liam’s study, his face falling slightly at the sight of Liam’s serious expression. “What happened?”

“Madeleine and Barthelemy filed for full custody over Bartie.”

“I knew they would do it! What a piece of--” Drake gritted his teeth, stopping halfway through. He thought they had a deal. “Well then, I will file for custody as well.”

“Drake...”

“What?”

“You have little chance of winning. Barthelemy is his grandfather--”

“And I am his uncle. So?”

“... So it means he knows how to raise a child. You have no experience in it at all.”

“This guy pretended to be dead for years, I think I have pretty good chances.”

“Besides, he is married. Married couple with experience versus a bachelor? I’m not a lawyer but I can see a problem here,” Liam said calmly and Drake sat on the chair, defeated.

“They don’t deserve him. They can’t win,” Drake shook his head when Liam got an idea.

“I think I know how you can win this,” he said and Drake looked up at him, hope in his eyes. “But you won’t like it.”

“I’ll do whatever.”

“You need to get married.”

“Except for that.”

“Drake!” Liam raised his voice. “It’s for Bartie. Besides, it’s gonna be a fake marriage. I’ll annul it after you win the custody.”

“Yeah, I think you’re forgetting something very important here.”

“What?”

“Umm, who am I supposed to marry? I don’t know many women and those that I do unfortulately know, belong to the court and no one will ever believe I willingly married someone from nobility.” Drake turned to Liam but he was already looking at him with a wicked smile on his face.

“Oh no. You already found someone, huh?”

“Oh yes.” Liam grinned and Drake was close to slapping him.

“Who?”

“The waitress. The yelling one whom I met at your house,” Liam suggested and Drake’s face went red.

“Oh no! No, no, no, nope. Never. Never. No. I’d rather kidnap Bartie.”

“But Drake, she’s a perfect candidate! She’s not from nobility and you two met in your bar which makes it perfectly believeable that you two fell in love with each other.”

“Except that we didn’t. And we kinda hate each other.”

“Come on, Drake. Do it for Bartie.”

“I’m not marrying that crazy woman!”

“Of course you’re not, it’s a fake marriage!”

“And how on Earth am I supposed to convince her to do it, huh? Did you think about it genius?” Drake asked but Liam had the same grin from earlier. “What again?”

“Use your charm. From what I’ve seen, it works.”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about and, hey, Li, hey!” Drake tried to argue as Liam pushed him out of the study.

“Go get her and I’ll start preparing the marriage license.”

The door closed and Drake stood there wondering how on Earth everything became so complicated.

~~~~

Drake walked into the bar and spotted her immediately. He already knew the answer but he needed to at least try, for Bartie’s sake.

Riley saw him too and he could swear she groaned at the sight.

“Whiskey?” she asked when she finally approached him.

“Actually, I need to talk to you,” he said and saw she visibly tensed.

“You’re not here to fire me, are you?”

“No, no. Something totally different.”

“Ah, okay. Whatever. What do you want?” She asked as he took a deep breath.

“I want you to marry me.”

[honourlight]

okay so for anyone who was following my posts of confusion/theories of the ds finale, here’s what i’m going with!

so. everything that the museum curator said happened had already happened and that’s why you hear about it in the future as if you already did do it (edit: not so sure about this point anymore). this also means that edward or your other LI was left in the past without you just like how we saw in the possible future diamond scene in ch 15. in that ch15 diamond scene we saw two realities, one where you leave the LI to be in the future and one where you get to stay with them, so this is how/when that reality when you do leave them happens - meaning it happens FIRST

SOOO that means that when you go back with robert you are going back to finally be with your LI and live out your wholesome lives together, which is when that other reality where you get to be with them that you saw in the ch15 diamond scene happens. so we technically did see/know what happens when we go back and we know that our MC and LI don’t end up alone. and we know that this happens AFTER we had to leave them to go to the future. so you can imagine that all those parts where you get to stay with your LI in the future diamond scene in ch15 is actually the ending!

so, as edward said, that possible “last night” with MC really wasn’t where their story ends🥺 and we know that’s true as implied when mc goes back to the past with robert and the wholesome part of the future diamond scene in ch15!

(however the reason why mc doesnt remember all of this stuff the museum curator told them they did tho i still don’t understand but whatever. out of the many plot holes of this story that’s just another one i guess i will have to let go of... honestly this whole explanation i gave just makes way more sense without the bonus scene at the end which was the case in my playthrough. bc then the “final time” your LI sees you in the past before you return with robert was what we saw as our “last night” with them. and then you can assume you never have to leave them again when you go back. but even if when you go back with robert and thats when all that stuff the muesum lady talked about is supposed to happen then edward did say you guys will change your future😌☝🏽 so hopefully you can just assume you guys did ashdjdk and you don’t leave him for a final time..but honestly they didn’t give an explanation on how time works in this world so you really can interpet this/time as whatever you want!)

huge huuuge thanks to @maxattack-powell for helping me figure this out!!🧡 this is what i’m going with and thinking of it like this at least helps me come to terms with this ending they’re leaving us with!

EDIT: also the fact edward says he saw nothing but a happy future in ch15 makes me think even more that they do end happily tg🥺

Honestly, the characters in LIS act too much like Max is a manic pixie dream girl for me not to think she's autistic.

Like, I think it's an autism canon event for people to view your neurodivergence as "quirkiness," and that happens to Max a LOT in canon.

The amount of times someone goes "Max, you're really weird. But cool," is so many, and from lived autism experience that can very much be how interactions with neurotypical people go. They tend to not realize that the "uniqueness" they think they're recognizing is actually autism, and therefore they label the autistic person as either "weird" or the "manic pixie dream" stereotype.

Max is just written in such a specific way that I have a really hard time seeing her as a non autistic person. She fits my lived experience to a tee, and on my latest replay I fully realized how many boxes she checks.

This fic: @christopher-powell @zigthetwig @indiacater@diamondoasis (lemme know if you wanna be added or removed)

Senior year has finally arrived. The final year of Aria’s college years. The year that truly decides if she makes it in the world or not. Basically decides her future for her and guides in her into the light or into the dark. In the right direction or the wrong direction. Going on the correct path is all Aria really wants and she desires a future of success and spending it with the man she loves more than anything in this world. 

Aria has missed Chris since she’s been away from him all summer, participating in an internship which ended up being a waste of time considering she was never even offered a job at the end. Her mom tried to convince her that it may benefit her in the future when it comes to applying for jobs but Aria can’t help but refuse to believe that. What if no opportunities come her way and she doesn’t manage to find success in order to make her dreams a reality? What if no offers pass by her and she’s left to fend for herself in the real world? Alone and lost. 

That has to be one of Aria’s worst fears. Feeling like one day all of her hard work isn’t going to pay off and she’ll just be left to the wolves, falling to the bottom of the job line. Of course, she has more amazing support than any average person could wish for. Support from all her wonderful friends. Kaitlyn, James, Zig, Becca, Zack, Abbie. And of course, the most support comes from her boyfriend, Chris - who she appreciates and definitely doesn’t deserve. He’s amazing and so supportive of everything she does, just like she is with him.

From day one, Chris has been there for her and Aria sure as hell isn’t about to lose what they have for anything or for anyone. What they have is special and Aria plans to cherish it until the end because deep down, she knows she’s never gonna find anyone else like Chris. Never.

She’d reunited with him a few minutes after her parents dropped her off. It was a bit awkward to watch Chris meet her dad for the first time but the nerves were also covered up by the relieving feeling of seeing her boyfriend again. What was a bit awkward was hearing Aria’s dad mention marriage to Chris and seeing how calm he tried to be when he heard Stephen say that. In the end, Chris just accepted the blessing and shook her father’s hand. 

Aria is thankful that her dad didn’t push the topic and left straight after. That gave Chris and Aria time to catch up. Aria spent a few hours out with a meeting with her advisor and then she decided to head out to get some groceries since they were lacking in the food department. Her mind was flooded with questions as she was skimming over the shopping list, trying to process and digest all of her duties for senior year. What she has to do. What she has to achieve. How much time she has to put into hard work in order to certainly grasp her future with confidence. 

It’s all se really wants.

After rushing to the supermarket, Aria heads home, realising she’d spent most of the day and that she’d kinda left Chris on his own most of the day, which she of course felt bad about since it was their first day having seeing each other again. At a quicker pace, she hurries home, sighing with relief when she reaches their front door of their apartment. Struggling to keep her grasp on the shopping bags, Aria yanks her keys from her pocket and unlocks the door, pacing in after it idly swings open. 

Once she enters, she scans her surroundings, searching for any sign of her boyfriend but he doesn’t seem to be around, at least not in the living room anyway. 

“Chris! Baby, I got some pizza.” Aria calls out to Chris, as she strolls into the kitchen, placing her heavy shopping bags on the counter and reaching into them, grabbing the food and placing it where it belongs. 

Suddenly, Aria hears light footsteps creaking against the wood of the floor. She tilts her head and finds Chris emerging from their bedroom, his back hunched slightly and his eyes watering with exhaustion. He’s shirtless and Aria’s dark eyes drift hungrily over his messy exterior briefly before she realised how tired he is. She must have woken him from a sleep. 

Chris yawns, as he runs a hand through his faded brown hair and walks up to his girlfriend, leaning against the kitchen counter with a weak smirk on his face. “You had me at pizza.” He jokes, chuckling with more of a sigh and rubbing the exhaustion out of his eyes.

Aria places a comforting hand on his arm, smiling sweetly at him. “I’m sorry. Did I wake you?” She asks, raising an eyebrow at her boyfriend.

“It’s fine. I needed to wake up anyway. Arjun wants me to start working on some ideas for the council.” Chris responds, starting the kettle and watching it carefully as it boils loudly for a moment. 

Aria frowns at that, noticing the hint of stress in his eyes. Almost like a cry for help. “Already? But I thought you were focusing on football this quarter.” Aria says as she throws a piece of bread in the toaster and switches it on. 

“I thought so too. Guess I’m gonna be doing both.” Chris sighs with regret and skims over his gorgeous girlfriend for a moment, taking her in and realising just how much he’s missed her. 

“Can’t you tell Arjun that you wanna focus on football? I don’t want you being this stressed.” Aria points out, wrapping her arms around Chris’s waist and snuggling against his bare chest. He places an arm around her in return, planting a soft kiss on the top of her head, where her dark hair lies. 

“It’ll be fine. I just don’t wanna disappoint anyone again.” Chris suddenly blurts out and he immediately regrets it when he sees Aria’s head snap up and she eyes him meaningfully for a minute. Chris tries to avoid eye contact but she always seem to draw him back in no matter how hard he tries. “Don’t look at me like that, beautiful. I don’t want you worrying about me this year. I want you to focus on yourself.” Chris adds, grasping both her shoulders and pulling her in for a long tender kiss. He lets it linger and plants a few extra kisses on her jaw before knocking their foreheads together. 

“But Chris, you know I care-“

“I know.” Chris cuts her off and cups her cheeks. “Trust me, I know. But you deserve to think about your future and let me support you this year. I’m sure I can support you a lot when you’re a hit writer for that magazine.” Chris trails off when he squints and notices a look of hurt and guilt fighting in Aria’s features. He scans her closely, watching her face fall as she frowns. “Hey... what’s wrong, baby?” 

Aria hesitates for a moment but just one look in his eyes is enough to affect her like a drug. She can’t keep one damn secret from him. “It’s just... I didn’t get the job in San Francisco. I didn’t even get offered anything.” Aria admits, her voice strained from the disappointment battling in her throat, planting a rock there. Chris’s forehead creases with concern and he tightens his grasp on his girlfriend, pulling her as close as possible and not letting her cry without his comfort. Aria closes her eyes and lets out a heavy sigh, refusing to shed a single tear. “I’m not sad, okay? I’m just disappointed. I really thought I had a shot, you know. They praised me and they made me feel welcome. I really had... some hope for a... new beginning. For me. For us.” 

Chris rests his palms on her shaking arms, rubbing calmly and planting a soft, reassuring kiss on her lips. She’s been working so hard these past few months. Too damn hard. After that whole thing with Nathan and those other Alpha Theta Mu maniacs, Aria has been trying to be more lenient with herself and how hard she works. Maybe she slacked off a little too much that’s why she never got the job. Maybe she got too distracted by everything around her and she just couldn’t stand to be in that stressful position again. However, Chris now fears that she may force herself back in that place. That place that isolates her from the people she loves. That place that drags her confidence down. That place that stops her from eating and sleeping or even paying attention to another person. Chris really doesn’t want her going back there. Back to where she constantly overworked herself. That was torture to watch her destroy all her efforts and hard work.

Chris and Aria stay in the comforting embrace for a moment, just trying their best to reassure each other. Comfort each other and promise that stress and worry isn’t going to take over their lives or affect their relationship. They’d never risk anything affecting their love for one another. It’s close to impossible. 

“...I just don’t want you going back to that place, babe.” Chris admits and releases a heavy sigh, feeling like a heavy load had been lifted from his shoulder but a certain weight still remained. “That place that hurt you. Nothing is supposed to hurt you.”

Aria giggles softly at that, kissing Chris softly on the lips. “I don’t wanna go back to that place but I can’t help but feel like I didn’t get offered a job because I wasn’t in that place.” Aria relents sheepishly, her dark eyes falling to stare at the floor but Chris tilts her chin up to meet his eyes.

“Hey. There’s no way that’s what it is. They just don’t understand how smart, generous and hard-working you are. They don’t get how much of your life and time you’d put into writing them trending articles that would make the front page every single time.” Chris assures, taking both Aria’s hands and squeezing them lovingly. “They may not love and support you. But I do... and I always will.” Chris adds, kissing each of her knuckles and planting a lingering kiss on her lips and tangling his fingers in her dark brown hair.

“Well then, who needs a crap job like that when I have someone like you by my side?” Aria replies, more confidence in her tone then before and a proud smile plays at her lips as she snuggles into Chris, taking in the warmth of this usual body heat. “Thank you, Chris. I don’t need no job or huge city to keep me going. Because you’re the only home I’m ever gonna need.” Aria reveals, smiling broadly and kissing Chris’ cheek and he catches her hand before she can cup his face and he sweeps her off her feet.

He smirks teasingly. “That’s my job as your live in boyfriend.” Chris jokes as he guides Aria’s legs around his waist and crashes their lips together, pinning her against the wall, which causes her to moan softly from the impact of the plastery wallpaper. “And that is also my job.”

“To make me moan?”

Chris smirks at that, rolling his ocean eyes slightly at her comment. “More to make you realise just how much I fucking missed you.” 

With that said, Chris guides Aria blindly into the bedroom, immediately slamming the door shut with his foot. He’s about to prove that he means what he says and that he promises to make her feel things she’s never felt before. Missing her was almost unbearable to take every day and it’s even worse to see her through a screen without being able to touch her or kiss her on the lips like he wants to do every damn day. Her going away to San Francisco wasn’t meant to be so difficult to take. Hell, she promised she’d be back a lot sooner than she actually came and then she ended up staying with her parents for a week since she was recovering from the rejection from the magazine.

Anyway, none of that mattered anymore cause now he has her in his arms and he plans to make love to her better than he ever has before. Chris wants to affect her in a way he hasn’t before. He wants to show her just how much he’s bottling up and how much tension is tangled in his muscles, dragging him down every time he’s away from her. Damn, Aria really has Christoper hooked and he just can’t seem to shake her from his heart. Not that he wants to or anything like that. He’s in it for forever. 

Her still in his arms, Chris rests his hands at her waist in order to steady her before pinning her against the bedroom door, much rougher than he intended but he can’t shake the desire and hunger that’s causing his heart to pound a million times faster in his head and the way her beauty causes a million thoughts to circle his mind. Memories of her. Mental images of her. Nothing could ever keep her off his mind. 

Their lips never disconnect, as Chris rolls one hand up and down her side while using the other to help her maintain her balance, as she wraps her legs around her waist, pressing their bodies closer than ever before, which earns a rare groan from Chris. They stagger against the wall, kissing like their lives depends on it which their needs do but they’ve never as aggressive as they are being right now. Sure, they have their fun and kinky sides but this is the first time they’ve been as... blunt as they are with each other right now. 

Chris suddenly carries Aria off the wall and carefully guides her over to the bed, watching how she quickly removes her jacket before being gently placed on the silk sheets by Chris. He swears she looks even more beautiful than the last time he saw her. It was so long ago and he remembers her so much differently than he sees her right now. Her dark hair is fanned out on the bed, creating some sort of halo over her. Her chocolate eyes burn into Chris’ ocean ones as he leans slowly closer, enraptured in her beauty. 

“What are you staring at?” She asks in a teasing tone, a mischievous smirk playing at her lips.

“Just you.” He whispers in a husky tone that matches her seductive one. Her hand drifts at an agonisingly slow pace up Chris’ bare chest, starting at his stomach before making her way up to his lips, pinching his nipples halfway through. This causes Chris to suck in a sharp breath. Her thumb tugs at his plump lower lip and he catches her hand before she let it fall back. 

Chris starts leaving a trail of kisses from the inside of her wrist to the outside layer of her shoulder, which shakes from his spine-trembling touch. All her nerves activate in her body and she begins to melt hopelessly into his touch, even more than she usually would. 

His lips drift up her neck, leaving a trail of fiery kisses in his wake, as he finally lands on her lips and catches Aria in a fury of passion. She yanks his neck and deepens the kiss, already tired from the teasing and it hadn’t even really begun yet. Chris felt too taken aback to pause her need and take control. She was way too damn convincing, even when she didn’t talk in that sweet melodic voice of hers. Her tongue slips passed the defences of his lips and she connects hers with his, letting it swirl in his mouth for a second. 

Aria backs up against the headboard, smiling against Chris’ lips when she tries to hold back a giggle when she feels the cold material of the headboard against her back. It doesn’t take her too long to gather herself and stay focussed on the heat of the kiss.

Meanwhile, Chris starts to work at Aria’s clothes, his hands sneakily snaking behind her back and slipping under her shirt. Just for a minute, he caresses the bare skin and moves his lips to her neck, her heavy pants ringing in his ears in the best way possible. Eventually, he pulls her shirt over her head and tosses it aside. Chris leans back, taking in her unconditional beauty. Her dark hair dangles at her chest and her chestnut eyes are flooding with desire. 

She wants him. Hell, she needs him. 

Chris snaps out of his trance finally and goes back to work at Aria’s neck, leaving a cheeky love bite at the base and another on her collarbone. Hickeys that will definitely last for a few days but right now, Aria doesn’t dare think about that. All she wants to do is focus on the touch of Chris and the feeling of his body against hers. He’s impossible to resist and she can’t take anymore waiting. 

She moves so her mouth is grazing his ear and prepares to whisper something. “Chris, you got about ten seconds but I finish this myself.” Aria warns and Chris’ eyes immediately snap up to stare at his desperate girlfriend.

“So you don’t like it when I take my time?” He questions in a teasing tone and she rolls her eyes at him.

“Five... four... three...”

“Okay, okay!” Chris interrupts and swiftly silences with her a kiss, pinning her down against the bed and climbing on top of her.

Hovering over her, he attaches his lips to her chest, teasingly outlining the fabric of her bra with his fingers. Aria arches her back and allows him access to be able to unclasp her bra which he does. Honestly, Chris struggles for a moment, having done that a few times. Aria has some real pain in the ass bras. It happens a lot more than it should do.

Before Aria can notice him struggling, Chris finally manages to remove her bra, instantly throwing himself down at her breasts and sucking more rough than usually on her nipples, causing her to gasp from the sweltering sensation. 

“Chris!” Aria moans his name and notices how his hands start to drift down to her waist, preparing to unbutton her jeans and slide them slowly down her legs. He manages to remove that quicker than the bra and he’s quite proud of himself when he manages to do it. 

His rough hands slide up her now-bare thighs causing her to shiver from his touch and that leads him to doing the same with her underwear, sliding them down her legs until it’s on the floor. While all this happens, his mouth never leaves her breast. Once she’s completely naked, Chris brings one hand up to where his head is and begins to palm at her other breast, only adding to the amount of pleasure running through her body like lighting strikes had hit her. 

“Damnit, Chris.” She moans with pleasure, clinging on the bed sheets and tangling her fingers in Chris’s growing hair. Meanwhile, his free hand drifts down to her waist, teasingly lurking just above her clit and outlining it occasionally, which causes her to groan in frustration.

His mouth continues to work at her nipples, finding a new sensitive spot with the hand that’s massaging her breast and causing her nipples to harden from the self-satisfying touch. Sweat creases both of them and an undeniable sensation escalates in their hearts, driving them and giving them the fuel and the strength to continue. 

Chris hand finally decides to be more lenient and his fingers impulsively start to thrash into her, exploring her interior curiously and with the obvious intention of making her feel thing she’d never felt before.

Aria’s eyes roll back from the feeling of Chris and plenty of moans and calling of Chris’ name escapes her. “Ah! Chris!” She shouts, as she tugs at parts of Chris’s hair.

He can’t help but shiver at that. “Oh, Aria!” 

His fingers continue to pump through her and the pace increases as the speed of his pounding heart increases. Sex has never felt so meaningful and so animalistic as it is with Aria. Of course, they have their kinks but there’s always something tender and romantic lingering in the air and in their hearts when they make love and it only makes every time all the more special, no matter what they do to make it as hot as possible. 

Eventually, Chris removes his fingers and mouth (and of course his leftover clothes) from Aria and positions himself over her instead, preparing for the main event, if you will. His lips barely graze hers, as his braces himself over her and he can sense the unsteady beating of her heart as anticipation runs through her and that’s what seems to fuel her, as she awaits for Chris to strike. 

Slower than he usually would, Chris teases Aria with his length a few times and earning quite a few impatient groans from her, before finally lowering himself into her, letting out all the bottled up longing he’d been holding in since the second she left. Maybe even before she left. He’s been waiting for this moment for so damn long. To have finally had his need received and to be able to feel her again. Touch her again. Even seeing her again was a blessing that Chris was so desperate to experience. 

A sudden moan escapes her, more like several moans as Chris continues to pump in and out of her constantly, giving her a hidden sense of relief as slick sweat soaks her body. She can’t help but give all of herself to Chris when they make love. It’s impossible for her to keep still and patient when he’s the one who is touching her. His touch is irresistible. Undeniable. Unstoppable and it makes her feel things she never thought she’d be able to feel. It helps her feel alive and that’s all she really wants to feel. 

Forgetting about the stress and forgetting about all their doubts, worries, regrets and unanswered questions. All they can focus on is each other. They continue to entwine in each other and melt together as one until finally... they both give in. 

Later, they lay entwined in the covers of the silk sheets of their bed, making the most of the simple moments until their senior year officially is set to start to the next day. They just want to stay wrapped up in each other’s arms forever. Why must the world give stress a reason to come out and infect people? Why not let hope and faith come out instead?

Aria is snuggling up to Chris, her head resting against her chest as she feels his breathing rise and fall at a heavy pace. “Fuck, baby. That was amazing.” Chris admits, planting a sloppy kiss in her now-greasy hair.

Aria can’t help but giggle at how speechless he is and she tilts her head so she’s looking into his eyes. “Thank you...”

“For what, Aria?”

“Just everything. You’re always there for me and you always seem to know what I want and how I want it. You love me and I love you and I know you’ll always be the one to catch me if I fall. You’re the only home I’m ever gonna need.”

Chris’ face reddens slightly at that and he softly brings their lips together for a brief moment. “I love you too. And I promise that senior year is gonna be a new beginning for us.”

“As long as we’re together.”

To be fair I was Cringe in 2014 too, it’s a way of life.

bitches will be like "i want a girl like max caulfield" till the girl is full blown 2014 nostalgia cringe personified and delivers stupid one liners awkwardly and is autistic

[kenjkats]

in those engagement photos, the mc with liam has two left hands? or her right hand doesn't have a thumb??

LMAO I actually had a discussion about this with some mutuals it’s fkn hilarious. OK SO, TWO working theories: (under the cut because I have visuals)

First is that her thumb is UNDER Liam’s hand right there. If you can’t visualize the hand (some told me they couldn’t see it), here’s a trace: 

BUT some pointed out that it looks too flat to be her thumb. Like they realized they made a mistake and decided to just color a part of Liam’s white sash there as her skintone to compensate LOL

Now the Second theory, I think by @maxattack-powell (lol correct me if I’m wrong) is that her thumb was actually drawn here but then the artist recolored it to be one of Liam’s fingers:

A trace to make things clear:

I personally like to believe she has two left hands. That must be the special thing TRR MC has that  makes all them LIs want her.

Drake was pacing back and forth in Liam’s office, while his friend was sitting on a chair with his head down.

“Madeleine,” Drake started causing Liam to look up. “Madeleine called off the engagement. Herself. Madeleine?”

“Yes, Madeleine.” Liam rolled his eyes and took a swig of his drink.

“The same Madeleine we all know? The I-am-so-desperate-to-be-a-queen Madeleine? The one who would do anything to be your wife? Called off the engagement?”

“Yes, Drake, the same one. Please, stop,” Liam’s voice was weak and Drake knew he was hurting.

“I’m sorry Liam but I truly believe you’re better off without that witch. You never wanted to marry her!” Drake noticed Liam opening his mouth to say something so he added, “Maybe you don’t see it this way now but maybe you’ll still have a chance to marry for love! Now you’re free of Madeleine!”

Liam laughed but it wasn’t a sincere, happy laugh. “No, I didn’t love her. But I didn’t have any prospects of marriage. The people demand an heir and now that I know I can’t have kids, I lost a potential wife. I’m a failure as a King.”

“Come on, Li. You know you’re not. And you know what, screw the people. You’re the King, you make the rules, not them!”

“No, they’re right. My most important duty was to get married and produce an heir. And I failed.”

“You didn’t. You’re still young, you can find someone. Besides, the people have Bartie now! And they should be happy that you saved them from Madeleine being their Queen,” Drake tried to cheer his friend up but Liam didn’t seem to notice his efforts. He stayed silent for a few minutes before speaking again.

“She told me she had someone else.”

Drake turned to Liam, suprise on his face. “Who?”

“Madeleine. She said there was someone else. Someone she intends to marry.”

“What? Who’s the poor guy?”

“I don’t know. She said she’d let me know, so there’s that,” Liam took another swig only to notice his glass was empty.

“Huh, that’s weird. But don’t worry about it, please. Get some rest and we’ll think of something tomorrow, okay?’ Drake asked and Liam slowly nodded. He really was worried about his friend. These past few days were rough for Liam and he wished he could do something to help him.

~~~~

Next few weeks brought the answer for Liam and Drake’s questions. It was announced that Madeleine would soon marry... Barthelemy Beaumot, Maxwell and Betrand’s father.

“Isn’t he like twice as old as she is?”

“Worse, he’s like her father’s age!”

Both Olivia and Drake met up with Liam after the announcement and both didn’t even try to hide their disgust.

“Madeleine is older than me, older than Maxwell or you two. She’s more of my brother’s age. So no, he’s not twice as old as Madeleine is. And Godfrey had her at old age while Barthelemy had his sons rather young. Between them, there’s a big age difference,” Liam explained slowly and Drake was almost annoyed with how calm he was about it.

“Still, it’s gross. I’m not gonna change my mind,” Olivia announced and Drake had to agree with her.

“It’s weird. Why would she ditch Liam for.... him,” Drake wondered and Liam sighed.

“She said is was love. Who am I to judge? Now excuse me, the wedding is soon and she asked me to officiate so...” Liam left the office leaving Drake and Olivia stunned.

“She asked him to do what?” Drake asked not sure if he heard right.

“That bitch,” Olivia gritted her teeth. Drake looked at her. Him and Olivia were never friends but they both cared about Liam so they tolerated each other for his sake. Today though, Drake realized he agreed with pretty everything she said.

“Something is off. I don’t believe Madeleine is in love with him,” he said after a while and Olivia nodded.

“I don’t believe that witch is capable of loving anyone but her. I wonder what she’s planning.”

They both thought about it for a few moments before silently leaving Liam’s office as well, several scenarios going through their heads.

~~~~

Drake sat in the bar, mindlessly drinking his whiskey. Technically, he should be at Madeleine and Barthelemy wedding since Savannah invited him but he didn’t feel like being there. No one saw anything odd about it except for him and Olivia. Bertrand and Maxwell were a bit surprised at the news at first but quickly accepted their father’s decision. Savannah admitted Madeleine was much nicer to her now and even helped her organize a belated honeymoon, since Betrand and Savannah never had one. When Drake voiced his concern as to the marriage, she said it wouldn’t be the first time a woman married an older man and that she thought Madeleine really loved Barthelemy and vice versa. Despite it all, Drake still didn’t believe in Madeleine’s intentions.

“Can I get you another one?” Drake looked up to see Riley staring at him with her eyebrow raised.

“Yes, please,” he handed her an empty glass but she still stood still. “Yes?”

“Are you okay? You’ve been staring at this wall for fifteen minutes and didn’t even notice you were drinking water instead of whiskey.”

“You added water to my empty glass?” he asked surprised.

“Well, yeah, I wanted to check if you’d notice but you didn’t,” she shrugged. “What’s wrong?”

“You gave me water to drink and you’re asking me what is wrong? Are you--”

“No, I mean, what is going on? Why are you so distracted? You’re not even being rude to me.”

“First of all, it is you who’s being rude to me. Secondly, I don’t believe I need to tell you anything.” Drake stood up as if ready to leave.

“But--”

“Excuse me.” He left money on the table and walked away. Riley looked after him as he disappeared. She didn’t know what was going on but she was sure something must have happened.

“Bad day, huh?” her friend took the glass from her hands. She looked at him and then back at the door.

“Yeah, I think something is wrong. He wasn’t even grumpy.”

“Riley...”

“You know what, I think something bad happened. Maybe I should see what.”

“Riley...”

“You’re right, I need to go and ask him about it.”

“Riley!” The bartender raised his voice and Riley looked at him. “Why do you care so much about him?”

“What? Me? Care? About him? Ha, good joke! He’s just, you know, kinda our boss and you know that saying, ‘if your boss is sad, you are sad too.’’’

“There’s no such saying,” he shook his head.

“Maybe not here, it’s a New York thing. I just want to make sure he’s not gonna fire us.”

“And that’s why you want to visit him again?”

“Oh stop it. I know where you’re going. I don’t like him, he doesn’t like me. I will never ever even think about him like that. What I’m doing is purely work-related,” she explained and stormed off before she could hear her friend’s “Mhmm.”

~~~~

“Hello?” Drake answered the phone after the unknown number called him for the fifth time.

“Drake! My manager asked me to ask you how are you,” he heard a familiar voice and rolled his eyes.

“How did you get my number?”

“My manager gave me,” it wasn’t a lie if her manager gave her a few documents to sign and his number was there, right? “He wanted to know how you were doing.”

“Then he can ask me himself. I’m busy, goodbye,” Drake said and hung up.

“Rude!” Riley yelled into the phone but Drake didn’t hear her.

“Well, Mr Walker, luckily I know where you live,” she murmured to herself. She couldn’t exactly explain why she was so determined to know the reasons behind Drake’s bad mood but she blamed in on her curiosity. She was a naturally curious person. Or nosy, as her mother always claimed.

In just several minutes, she was there, knocking on the door, trying to come up with an excuse. The last thing she wanted was him to think she actually cared about him. What a ridiculous thought it--

“You again? What is your problem?” Drake asked when he opened the door.

“You are my problem! I came here to ask you about, umm, the rumors.” She bit her lip hoping he wouldn’t notice she was lying.

“Rumors?”

“Yes! There are rumors that say you want to fire all of us and I needed to ask you if that’s true. I’m a great waitress and I need that job so--”

“I’m not firing anyone. Is that all?”

“Wait, why are you so--”

“Is everything okay here?” Liam appeared in the doorway and Riley’s eyes widened as she recognized a man from the newspapers, TV and the internet.

“Your-- Your Majesty!” She bowed, “I’m so sorry to intrude, I just-- I am--”

“Leaving. Riley was just leaving,” Drake finished and Liam nodded.

“Pleased to meet you, Riley. Drake never told me about his new friend,” Liam smiled to her and her eyes widened.

“We’re not friends, Li. We’re quite the opposite. That woman is probably a bigger pain in the ass than Olivia,” Drake explained to his friend.

“No, not at all! I am so sorry I ever offended or insulted you or was rude, sir, umm, Drake? I had no idea you are in the Royal family,” she bowed to him too and Liam chuckled.

“Oh boy, here we go again,” Drake rolled his eyes and elbowed Liam. “I am not part of the Royal family. And once again, there’s no need to apologize, I can’t fire you, imprison you or whatever else you think I can.”

“So, that means---”

“Yes, you don’t have to be nice to me. You can go now,” Drake said and Riley quickly bowed to Liam and ran to her car.

“Stop it,” Drake said to Liam, seeing his friends laughing.

“You’re laughing, too,” Liam pointed out and Drake shook his head. “That woman is something. Maybe you--”

“No, Li. Whatever you were about to suggest, the answer is no. Never.”

~~~~

Weeks passed, Madeleine and Barthelemy celebrated their two-month anniversary, Liam kept himself busy with work, Savannah and Betrand left for their belated honeymoon leaving Bartie to the newlywed couple. And Drake still didn’t understand. Why Madeleine would marry Barthelemy (although he agreed that both were awful people so they did have something in common) and why would his sister leave her son to them not to him. He could take care of a child, couldn’t he?

His thoughts were interrupted by knocking on his door. He opened it and was about to greet his best friend but Liam had something unreadable on his face and Drake felt like something must have happened.

“Li?”

“Drake, I think you need to sit down,” he said calmly but Drake stood still. “Drake...”

“What is it? What happened?”

“It’s not certain but--”

“What is it?”

Liam took a long breath and looked down so he wouldn’t face his best friend. “It’s Betrand and Savannah. They went missing. The police can’t find them anywhere and told us to treat them... as if they were already dead.”

Drake looked at his friend, the words he just said not making sense. He felt as if the room was spinning around and he thought it was too hot for him there. Suddenly, the room stopped spinning, the sound of Liam’s voice flattered completely, and there was only darkness.

[darley1101]

It took me a while to compile this because I have a lot of stuff sitting in my WIP folder. It's kind of embrassing really. I have been tagged by several people and so I don't miss anyone I am just going to say thanks to everyone who tagged me. Off the top of my head I recall @blackcatkita @bobasheebaby @choicesbyjade If I missed anyone it wasn’t on purpose! I am just really, really bad with remembering these tags. 

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Send me an ask with the title that most intrigues you and I'll post a snippet of it or tell you something about it.

Broken Fairytales Part 7 Facing Reality: As the title implies this is part 7 of my dark TRR fic in which the attack at the homecoming ball isn't neatly tied up, it's downright bloody. In this chapter we discover that someone thought to be dead isn't. Though wounded and tossed aside with the bodies of dead nobles, he is determined to get help and maybe, in the process, discover if his brother and the mother of his child are still alive. Catch up HERE

Uncommon Part 3 Who Knew: Things get even more serious between Drake and Olivia. An unexpected source discovers and makes public Olivia's pregnancy. Catch up HERE

What Happens In Vegas: Things get a little crazy during the King's and Queen's last hoorah, especially for Maxwell. After a night of non-stop partying (was there an Elvis impersonator involved or had he imaged that) he expected to wake up with the mother of all hang overs...what he didn't expect to wake up to was a wife! (This is one of those never seen ideas I am toying with. If you steal this I will come for you because it is something I do plan on writing)

Chasing Fairytales Part 2: Liam introduces Karin to his friends after saving her from the unwanted advances of her boss. (Part 1 was my first TRR fic post and I am not sure why I didn't continue. It is something I will consider though if people are interested in Liam x Karin's romance) Catch up HERE

The Bitter Truth Dear Brother: One shot where Liam and Leo have an honest conversation about everything.

Obsession: The idea for this came from a one shot I wrote about how Nadia and Ava (MC) met Damien. It would be what I like to call a self indulgent AU where Damien and Ava (MC) fall in love while trying to solve the mystery of whose stalking Nadia. (Again please do not steal this idea. It is something I would like to write)

Your Betrayal Re-write: The story in its current state is alright. It just isn't what I had planned. I caved to pressure from certain readers and the result is me not wanting to continue with what's currently there. I have the original outline where Emily doesn't know who the father of her baby is: Zig or Nathan. And I sort of, kind of want to re-write it with that premise in mind. Only if you guys are interested though.

Friends With Benefits Part 3: More Zig and Becca smut that may or may not lead to a real relationship. At the very least it makes the characters grow and its' hot. Well, it is hot to me and one of my self indulgent crack ships. Catch up HERE

Wicked Games Part 3 Good Advice: Basically this is me re-writing Junior year because I hated how the book went. I wanted more drama with our LI and more villain behavior from the Alphas. So..this is me attempting that. There is some strong themes that include date rape (not of the MC!) and exposing college campus corruption. I will be revisiting this story soon as I really want to finish it for my sake. If you guys enjoy it that's just a bonus! Catch up HERE

Untitled TF One Shot A: A lot of people have been asking for Chris and Aria's first time. This one shot would address it, but I am not sure if I want to write it as a one shot or include it as part of a series re-write I am toying with.

Untitled Re-write of the Freshmen series: I am dying to fully tell Chris x Aria's love story but I have been nervous about re-writing the series since @maxattack-powell is doing it and doing it so well. We shall see if I can talk myself into this self indulgent tale.

Jenny's Blog: I loved the first two blogs I wrote as the MC from LH where she interviews a pairing. It is a fun way to answer OTP questions. I have files Chris x Aria, Matt x Ashton, all my TRR couples, and any pairings you want to submit. I already did this for Damien x Ava and Flynn x Lucy.

City Girl, Country Boy: A Big Sky Country AU story where Sawyer meets Morgan at the Vegas Pro Rodeo Championships and the pair falls in love at first sight. After three days of knowing each other they elope. Will city girl Morgan be able to hack life in Montana with a husband she barely knows and skeptical family members plotting to get rid of her? (Another story I am toying with so please don't steal.)

Moonlight and Moonshine: Smutty one shot of Sawyer and Morgan that I have been fiddling with and keep talking myself out of posting.

Connected: Parker and Katarina smut from It Lives Beneath. My bestie keeps requesting this and I swear I am working on it.

Death and Decorum Part 2 Contagious: The MC Rebecca makes a startling discovery that pushes her over the edge...and into Edmund's bed where the pair of them come up with the perfect plan to make everyone whose wronged her pay. Catch up HERE

Complicated Part 3 It Couple: Things take an interesting turn when a jealous sophomore lashes out at Tatiana. It is a rather intense chapter that includes a physical and verbal fight. Beckett and Tatiana grow closer. Shreya admits maybe she has a crush on Griffin. Catch up HERE

Plus a whole bunch of December and March challenge prompt requests that I am still trying to figure out what I want to do. Oops.
