Specified Line Tag

Thanks for the tag, @oh-no-another-idea, sorry it took me so long to get to!

Rules: Find a line in your WIP that fits each of the parameters given to you, then give new prompts for the people you tag <3

Doing this with some lines from an old self-indulgent precursor to my current untitled Kai-focused WIP set in the FMB universe!

---

A line about family

"You were never my family, Rowan. My real family are here. Without you."

A line with a joke

"Oh, I- I'd kill you if I could," he mutters, and I choke out a laugh as I repond. "Well, points for self awareness, I guess."

A sad line

"Why would I be lying? She was meaningless, she had no use to us, she was nothing. I hope she's still down there, rotting in the ocean where I left her."

A line featuring an animal

I lean back and stare at the screen, grabbing an old stuffed bear I got when I was four and losing myself in the most terrifying monologue ever written.

*slams the door open, eyes manic* Sovereign State!

A Sovereign State: "International law defines sovereign states as having a permanent population, defined territory, a government not under another, and the capacity to interact with other sovereign states."

The USA already HAS several that exsist within its boarders? And there was that Gay Island of Australia (no really, look it up.) There is a LONG history of humanity going "well fuck you too then, I'm leaving. But also I refuse to leave. I am METAPHORICALLY leaving." *leaves your country and makes their own*

And??

Where's the FUCK were you? Mr. President? During that INVASION by Pariah Dark??

No, really. Social contracts, my dude. That is WHY you have AN ARMY. For INVADING FORCES.

You ALSO have declared us, your citizens, non-sentient and stripped of us our Constitutional Rights WITHOUT hearings, studies, or any due processes. Not to mention just desecrating the dead like it's NOT a well known religious and moral taboo. AND attacking out dead family members! The list goes on!

Why do we pay you taxes, if YOU are the active threat to us AND you offer us no social services?? You've all but cut Amity off anyway!

.......*Takes our ball and goes home* FUCK IT.

They are literally Limnals. It's a TOWN OF METAS. Can you honestly tell me that they WOULDN'T look at the Ecto-Acts and just think: "Yeeeeeah, how about No. Hard Pass."

You can have your INCREDIBLY stupid and offensive law. In OUR country, that's illegal. "We can't do that?" Yes. We can. We informed you in a Formal Document, which you received, you had the opportunity to STOP us, you did or could not, AND we got Regonized by another government.

It's a Ghost Goverment. We, the city state of Amity, were recognized by like... going on 23 at this point. We have a list. All Ghost Goverments, too. Sucks for you that you don't recognize those, they've decided not to recognize YOURS back until you do.

Politics, baby~

Aaaw D:> Does the Upset Baby wanna call, Superman? Boo Hoo. Somebody's forgetting the Justice League serves EARTH, not AMERICA. Suck on a lemon and die mad about it. Better not come back as a Ghost though! Your Goverment will declare you a lab specimen!

Now if you'll excuse us, WE have interplanetary trade routes. Because WE can use alien tech from our Ghost Buddies. And the Fenton Anti-Creep Barrier means you can't do SHIT. So *large crowd of teenagers making rude noises at frustrated government officials*

*Justice Leauge taking picture in the background* You're doing great sweeties! Aquaman is? So proud of the younger generation? They really are the future, you guys. Can he come in?

Oh of COURSE, your Majesty! *somehow ONLY Aquaman is able to get past the barrier, much to the impotent fury of the GIW and various officials*

∞︎︎ PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ethan landry

- summary: please please please music video inspired ethan imagine!

warnings fingering, possession, mentions of murder, Imk if i missed anything 722 words

𐙚 mdni!! ↓↓ 𐙚༘⋆ೀೀ

YOU’VE BEEN DATING ETHAN for a while now, you loved him, you loved the way he spoke, his dorky behavior, you loved the ethan you fell in love with. you didn’t even budge when he told you that he was ghostface, perhaps you were just too blind to care about his obsessive side, psychotic even.

you two meet through the friend group, your childhood friend, mindy, had joined blackmore and since then you’d gotten along with tara, quinn and sam. you would always observe ethan from afar, you found it weird, you were weirdly attracted to him, weirdly drawn to his personality and behavior. what you didn’t realize at the time was his manipulation skills, he would do anything to get close to you, to make you want him. “wanna grab a drink?” he whispered in your ear. you two were at a halloween frat party, you were matching costumes, you were an angel and he was a devil, a metaphor you didn’t realize made sense at the time.

you nodded your head and took his hand, leading the way to the kitchen. the party was crowded and an awful alcohol smell filled your nostrils, you were grabbing some vodka and talking to ethan. you didn’t know why but ethan looked behind you in disgust, anger “babe whats wrong” you settled your drink down “ethan?” no answer. you looked behind you to see 2 frat guys chatting “lets go” you grabbed your drink and pulled ethan away from the kitchen “would you stop?” you grabbed ethans chin away from the guy’s gaze after a few minutes of staring “they were saying some gross shit about you” “and why does that matter?” you couldn’t understand “because you’re mine y/n.”

he proceeded to stare them for a second, then was going towards them “stop ethan, please, i beg you don’t embarrass me” you pulled his arm back and pulled him into a kiss, a heated one his anger slipping away to give his body room for a different sort of heat “ill kill them.” you took that as a sick joke, not expecting what you would find the next morning. “two college students found dead in a deserted parking garage” the headline read. when ethan confessed he was ghostface you haven’t really processed that he killed people, not until he killed for you. a few hours later he barged into your dorm, looking bloody and sweaty, his curls sticking to his forehead “what did you do?” you turned to face him “what i said i’d do babe, you’re mine.”

you found it a bit sketchy but you had to play along. “maybe we should stay inside today, have a movie night or something?” you suggested “sure, let me just take a shower first” he chuckled. you were making popcorn while ethan was choosing a movie “can we watch stab please?” he looked at you with doe eyes “again?? can we just watch a rom com or something? why does it always have to be gory and shit?” you took a sit on the couch next to him “because you always jump and end up on my lap” his whisper sent you chills “you know, we don’t have to watch that for me to end up on top of you” you straddled his lap moving slowly “lets go to your room” he leaded you.

he trowed you on the bed and got on top of you, moving your pajama shorts and panties to the side, stroking your folds while still kissing you “you know im the only one who can touch you like this right?” his words were breathless, he sped up his movements, even the thought of some other guy touching you made his blood boil. at the paste he was going it didn’t take long until you reached orgasm. he layed down beside you and you hugged him “your mine, i mean it” he gave you a forehead kiss. i guess you dozed off because when you woke up ethan was nowhere to be seen and the only thing left was a post it on your fridge “left early, had to deal with something, love you, ethan.” you knew him, you weren’t expecting nothing less than a terrifying news article tomorrow morning “i told you to not embarrass me motherfucker” you mumbled

kms. just thinking about Ghost coming home to (roommate! reader) after months of deployment..

cw: fluff :3

✦•······················•✦•·········

Ghost's boots felt heavier than usual as he treks up the stairs to your shared flat in the middle of the night, heavy duffel bag strung over his shoulder seemingly weighing heavier than normal as he pulls out the keys of his jeans to unlock the door. Good girl, he idly thinks, you had a habit of keeping it unlocked until he came along and started to live with you, so he couldn't deny the metaphorical praise he gave to you in his mind for heeding his warnings and remembering to lock the goddamn door.

The lieutenant cracks open the door and walks inside, frowning beneath his mask as the dirt on the bottom of his boots flake off onto the hardwood flooring of the foyer hallway. Ghost keeps his movements light despite his fatigue, the aforementioned action being deceivingly easy for a man of his stature. He decides to kick off his boots, the pressure alleviating from his ankles and the slightly lessened weight makes him groan softly before padding deeper into to the apartment before stopping in his tracks, weighing the idea of calling for you and possibly waking you up.

Before he even registers it, Ghost calls out your name softly into the darkness apartment, loud enough for you to hear if you were awake, but quiet enough that it would wake you up out of your usual sound sleeps. After a few quiet seconds with nothing but the ticking of a clock nearby he moves to take another step but stops when he hears the sound of padded footsteps racing down the hall. Ghost spins around just in time to see you emerge from the nearby hallway, watching as you turn on one of the lamps on a small end table and revealing his shadowy form to your eyes.

Seeing him after countless months, wondering if he was okay, how he was holding up, ate at you. You really hadn't expected to grow so fond of this emotionally distant and aloof masked man that decided to room with you after he realized there was no point in him owning a whole goddamn house or apartment. Against the dead quiet air in the room you murmur his name, and it stabs Ghost in the heart. The sound of your voice after so long causing a high to hit him that's better than any drag of a cigarette or sip of alcohol could provide him.

"Yeah, it's me lov-"

Before the endearing pet name escapes his lips he's cut off by the warmest hug you could offer, your arms wrapping around his wide torso while your hands grip the back of his hoodie in a death grip. Fuck, you really missed him that much, didn't you? Ghost stands still, his heart and mind stuttering before he wraps his arms around you as well, cradling the back of your head with one gloved hand and resting the other on the middle of your back. The two of you just stand there in the dim lighting of the room, the only sound now filling the apartment is the sound of slowed breathing coming from both of you, simply embracing each others presence. Surely there was nothing else to it, right? You just missed your good friend, Simon.

✦•······················•✦•·········

“you’re blurring your words together, time for bed.”

“You’re my favorite person”

The reader is dead tired but won’t sleep because they want to spend time with Lewis.

Hi bestie!!This was soooo adorable to think about. Loved writing it. My heart's warm and cozy now ❤️

“you’re blurring your words together, time for bed.” and “you’re my favorite person”

Laughter filled the air, bouncing off the walls of Lewis' LA home. Miles was in the middle of a particularly dramatic retelling of his latest competition, complete with exaggerated hand gestures, while Daniel doubled over in his chair, tears streaming down his face. Y/N sat nestled between Lewis’ legs on the couch, a mug of lukewarm tea warming her hands.

The jetlag was a cruel beast. She'd arrived earlier that day, her body still clinging to the rhythm of a different time zone. The warmth of the mug and the gentle strumming of the guitar in the background were pulling her eyelids heavy, but she fought against it. These stolen moments with Lewis, surrounded by their friends, who were practically family, were too precious to waste sleeping.

"So, then I told the dude…" Miles continued, his voice rising. Y/N tried to focus, a smile plastered on her face. Lewis, however, wasn't buying it. He caught her gaze drifting towards the flickering fire in the fireplace, her blinks becoming increasingly heavy.

"Hey," he said softly, leaning closer. “You okay there?”

Y/N jolted, her head snapping towards him. "Yeah, I'm fine!" she stated, her voice a little too high-pitched. "Just… absorbing Miles' epic tale."

Lewis raised an eyebrow, amusement dancing in his eyes. "Right," he said, his voice teasing. "You're blurring your words together love, time for bed."

Y/N's smile faltered. Busted. She mumbled something incoherent about metaphors and Miles' dramatic license.

Lewis chuckled softly, his hand reaching for hers. "Come on," he said, his voice gentle but firm. "We can catch up on epic tales tomorrow. You need your rest."

"But…" she started, her voice a pitiful whine. "We only have, like, two days free before we leave, and I don't want to… sleep… when I could be spending time with you…”

Her words slurred together, the drowsiness winning the battle against her determination. Lewis watched her, a knowing smile playing on his lips. He knew her too well, but this was a whole new level of jetlag adorable. He glanced over at his friends, who were watching the exchange with knowing smiles.

"Guys," he announced, his voice carrying over the soft music, "hold down the fort. I think it’s time for Y/N and I to call it a night."

There were groans and good-natured teasing from his friends, but they readily agreed, a chorus of goodbyes following as Lewis placed a gentle hand on her lower back, guiding her towards the French doors leading inside.

Y/N swatted playfully at his hand. "I'm not that tired," she mumbled, but her eyelids were drooping like heavy curtains.

Lewis reached the doors and ushered her inside, the cool air hitting them like a gentle wave. He led her, stopping at the entrance to the bedroom. It was a haven of warm browns and greys, a stark contrast to the whites of the rest of the house

"Bed," Lewis said firmly, but with a smile. He knew better than to argue with a sleep-deprived Y/N for too long.

She pouted again; a childish expression that always seemed to get him wrapped under her fingers. "But this is our free night," she whined, her voice barely above a whisper. "I don't want to sleep. I want to spend time with you."

"And you will," he promised, pulling her into a hug. The warmth of his body soothed her, and she burrowed closer, the fight draining out of her.

"You're my favorite person," she mumbled into his chest, her voice thick with sleep.

Lewis chuckled, the sound vibrating against her ear. "That's good to know," he replied, kissing the top of her head. "Now, get some sleep, my favorite person."

He guided her towards the bed, pulling back the covers. As she lay down, sleep already tugging at the corners of her mind, Lewis joined her, wrapping his arms around her.

"You won't leave in the morning, will you?" she asked, her voice low and faint. "Not a chance" he whispered, nuzzling his face into her hair.

everything i know about interview with the vampire (amc), from someone who has not watched interview with the vampire (amc) and has only consumed it via mutuals rb'ing gifsets but plans to watch it soon

this is my pre-gaming for watching this show. dipping a metaphorical toe into the fandom. i haven't read the books either.

there are 3 vampires: lestat, louis, and armand

armand's name may or may not be amadeo?

lestat and louis had a daughter named claudia

claudia was unhinged (which is fair. i would be too if i was stuck at age 15 forever)

claudia had a girlfriend named madeline

claudia and madeline died together (without even having kissed each other. true love? sapphic teenagerism? perhaps both)

claudia's death caused lestat and louis to break up after like a century of dating or something

armand killed claudia?

there was a play involved in claudia's death...? i am incredibly confused about this one

either it was a play or an execution

the love triangle seems convoluted

armand is in love with louis and lestat is also in love with louis and lestat & armand have definitely also fucked each other

louis should just get the hell out of there actually. free my boy louis !!!

the interview is being done by daniel molloy who is bi (?) and definitely into that kinky shit

daniel molloy fucked either louis or armand in his youth (during the 80s maybe?). possibly he fucked both. the human pet of the marriage

daniel's memories got messed with to... forget fucking the vampires? idk. p sure armand did it though

that seems to be the consensus for most things in this show

armand did it.

claudia died? armand did it. daniel's memory got wiped? armand did it. louis stubbed his toe? armand probably did it.

armand needs to be sent to vampire jail this guy's a menace

also lestat had a midlife crisis after louis left him for armand and became a rockstar. i hope they release his songs on spotify as marketing. i wanna hear it

BONUS: lestat's album flops? armand did it.

anyway now daniel is old and interviewing armand and louis in dubai?

armand eats suicidal ppl?

daniel causes armand and louis' marriage to fall through

that's louis' 2nd failed marriage

surprisingly not his fault either time i think

armand turns daniel into a vamp

this is signficiant because armand has never turned anyone into a vamp

armand is going to fuck that old man

that old man has kids apparently

and swore someone out on live tv

BONUS 2: daniel got turned into a vampire? armand did it.

seriously what the hell is armand's problem (said affectionately. i have a feeling he's gonna be my fav when i watch)

does lestat know daniel?

claudia may or may not return from the dead

if she does i'll blame that on armand too

is armand french or not? he lives in dubai. has a french accent (?) but also not.

lestat is french. louis and claudia are american.

surprisingly, the americans are the nicest of the bunch. rare american W

also can lestat fly? did he throw louis from like... a 4 story height? ppl on twitter were mad abt it like last year

are there any other characters in this show except the ones i've named. it's been 2 seasons. 6 characters cannot be all there is.

[peineperdu]

alright then

arcane ending tomorrow...

[agentstarkid]

REVENANT ✦ DR3

The word "Revenant" originates from the French term meaning "one who returns", typically referring to someone who has come back from the dead. In a broader, metaphorical sense, it can signify a powerful return or revival of one's presence or influence after a period of absence or dormancy. Much like a phoenix rising from its ashes, a revenant embodies the idea of rebirth and transformation. This concept fits perfectly with the rebirth of someone's image, suggesting a dramatic resurgence where the individual re-emerges stronger and more resilient than before. Just as the phoenix symbolizes renewal and immortality, a revenant signifies the indomitable spirit of overcoming past setbacks and reasserting oneself with renewed vigor and purpose. In the context of personal reinvention, the revenant represents a profound metamorphosis, where an individual sheds their old self, overcoming the remnants of past failures, heartaches, and struggles.

yourinstagram Last night was a dream I never imagined. Thank you, billboard, for the Impact Award – an honor I share with every single person fighting for change, for equality, for representation. 🌟

Using my platform to support underrepresented communities across the U.S. and Latin America is my greatest privilege, but the work is far from over. We have a long road ahead, and it’s up to all of us to keep pushing for a world where every voice is heard and every dream has a chance. 💖

I made a vow to my community, to my family, to my younger self that maybe the promise wasn’t that I wouldn’t leave where I came from, but that I would take where I’m from wherever I go. Without fear, there is no courage and with that same courage, we can make impact. This isn’t just my award – it’s for everyone who stands up, speaks out, and lifts others up. Let’s keep going, together ✨

yourinstagram I'm not a martyr, I'm a problem 💋 This record is my heart laid bare—stories of love, loss, strength, and everything in between. It’s raw, vulnerable, and unapologetically me. ✨ These songs are my heart in harmony, and I hope they find a place in yours.

This one’s for the fighters, the dreamers, and anyone who’s ever rebuilt themselves from the ashes. To everyone who’s been on this journey with me—thank you for waiting, supporting, and giving me your love through it all ❤️‍🔥 REVENANT IS OUT NOW‼️

yourinstagram ✔ what can I say, I have a great mentor 🤷🏽‍♀️💖

lewishamilton ✔ Even from the ashes, we still rise 💜

yourinstagram ✔ lewishamilton It’s not about how we fall but how we rise—and you’ve always reminded me of that. Love you, big bro 💜 Forever grateful.

natalie_pinkham ✔ Some stories are worth waiting for ❤️

userA can I just say that I love how all of Daniel's friends are always so lovely towards her even if they've been broken up for over a year, that kind of let's you know what kind of a person she is 🥹

martingarrix ✔ Proud to see you create something this special! Absolutely incredible 👏🏻

sabrinacarpenter ✔ I was NOT ready for this album! wow, just wow

lancebass ✔ I haven't even gotten through the whole thing because I had to keep playing so many over and over and over! You done GOOD Y/N! ❤️❤️

yourinstagram ✔ UHM HELLO?? I LOVE YOU??? ❤️

user A year of silence, and then BOOM! Y/N just reminded everyone why she’s untouchable. This album is art. 🔥

scottyjames31 ✔ I'm sure all of Monaco already knows every lyric from the album from being on repeat for hours 🤘🏻

user2 the important question here is... have daniel already listened to the album????? 👀👀👀

userA user BESTIE I THINK HE DEFINITELY DID HE JUST LIKED HER POST!!! userB somebody send the cia to his house bcuz I need to know if he is on the floor, on his knees, tears falling to the ground, pathetic, gripping his chest to try and stop the pain 😤

user3 I was honestly expecting more songs about Danielito on the album

userA bestie sameee! but I have this theory that she's saving those more heart-wrenching songs for later 😶‍🌫️ userB userA yes yes yes bc u can't tell me she only wrote like 9 songs for him?? fuck no, she's evil (lovingly) she's gonna drop those when we least expect it and leave us in shambles i just know it

user4 The best art is created from struggle and sadness,,, this album is sad and real and Y/N,,, It makes me wanna punch anyone that hurt that woman's feelings,,, but no one can punch them worse than Y/N and her piano, guitar and pen. happy she found happiness

noahkahan ✔ obsessed ❤️

reneerapp ✔ For the life of me, I can’t comprehend how someone can deliver a perfect song like camera roll? You have such an incredible tone, your pen game is unreal…

user5 She went through hell and came back like this?!! Y/N, you’re a literal goddess. This album is everything and more

sophiet ✔ girl you bet it's been on repeat ALL DAY LONG ❤️

keleighteller ✔ The charts are shaking already ❤️

user6 This album is a reminder that no matter what life throws at her, Y/N is always going to come out on top. She just keeps winning 👑

daughtry ✔ This is what music is all about—raw, real, and unforgettable. Huge congrats! 👏

user7 Why is ‘Camera Roll’ making me feel things I wasn’t ready to feel today? this song just ripped me apart & ruined me GOODNIGHT !!!!!

userA she just knows how to capture that bittersweet nostalgia perfectly userB knowing how much she loves photography I KNOW her camera roll is full of photos of Daniel 😭 I'd sell my soul to be able you go through each and every single one of them userC It’s not just about scrolling through pictures; it’s about how those photos hold pieces of a love that’s no longer there. As someone who loves photography too, it hits so deep—those little moments captured forever, but the person’s gone 💔 userD she was so right abt going through your camera roll. do not touch that shit. oh my god.

user8 'I’m Not a Woman, I’m a God' is THAT song. Y/N’s on her goddess energy and I’m here for every second of it 👑

user9 When 'Traitor' came on, I felt that in my soul. She put her whole heart into this one 💔😭 Daniel u better ruuuuuun #JusticeForYN

user10 the whole album going from being so full of rage and anger with the first songs to heartbreak and hurt to resignation and acceptance to finding happiness and falling in love again is just sooo chef's kiss!!!!

user11 was having a good day and then I listened to doomsday and now i’m crying in my car before work

user12 I can’t get over how vulnerable 'The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived' is. It’s so poetic but hits like a dagger 💔

userA that song is definitely about Sebastián The Rat userB "You didn't measure up in any measure of a man" sheeeeesh if I was him I'd go to the furthest place on earth and never show my face again userC he should have just stay quiet lmao she murdered him

user13 the smallest man who ever lived was written for people with exes who will never take accountability for their own actions , thank u y/n

user14 Quisiera borrarme la memoria y volver a darle play a “Space Cowboy” esperando que la canción fuera sobre un vaquero espacial y luego darte cuenta que es sobre dejar ir al vaquero del que estás enamorado porque ya no quiere estar contigo

user15 Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve is the darkest song Y/N has ever written. I’m literally nauseous, it was grooming point blank. And Y/N called him out on it

userA “Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first” is giving me chills userB sebastian's days are so very numbered I feel SICK after listening to it userC ‘Memories are weapons.’ The heaviness of that, and the way all of us that have experienced trauma felt that line. userD it was seriously so heartbreaking and her vocals literally sound like longing to be set free from those dark memories and wanting to erase the experience still having to bear the toll it takes on you

user16 i love how in dear reader y/n starts giving us advice and tells us to never take advice from someone who's falling apart and a few seconds later she's literally falling apart, even when she's giving advice you can hear a distorted voice say "you should find another" that song is a masterpiece

user17 I can’t stop cryinggggg with ‘Bigger Than the Whole Sky’ 💔😭 This song… I’m devastated. Knowing it was written for Daniel just makes it hit even harder. The emotion in every lyric is unreal

userA that song is so hauntingly beautiful. Y/N’s voice captures the pain of losing someone so perfectly. You can feel the heartbreak in every note, she’s singing all the things we never say when love ends. This one’s going to stay with me for a long time 🥺 userB "Every single thing I touch becomes sick with sadness" just cuts me so deep userC This song made me feel things I wasn’t ready to feel 🥺 is like Y/N’s goodbye letter to Daniel, but the love is still there, in every lyric. You can feel the weight of the love she lost in every single word 💔 userD She turned heartbreak into art, and now I’m over here crying my eyes out

user18 who the hell allowed y/n l/n to write “nothing new” and then ALSO have phoebe bridgers feature on it cause OW

user19 this whole album was so well curated like it went from female rage to heartbreak to sadness to a (small) "i'm in love again" interlude to acceptance and finally "this is me, i'm human"

user20 Rúben Dias has this girl in her feels, huh?

mancity ✔ brb going to add the whole album to our game day playlist 🏃🏽‍♂️‍➡️

user3 Long live to the only man that matters: Rúben Dias 😍❤️

user3 he calls her "his angel" someone fucking hold me i'm sobbing

user4 rúben is so supportive and you can tell he really adores her. She deserves it 💖

user5 me adoptan? lavo los platos

user6 fan de su relación 😍

user7 I don't know which one of them is more gorgeous

user8 not to start any drama but Heidi whatchu doing here girl 👀

userA fun fact: her and rúben have been following each other for years userB she's allowed to like posts she likes 🤷‍♀️ userC it's just weird she's liking HIS post about the woman she replaced userD i think u all are reading too much into it. she's a known actress in portugal ofc he's gonna know abt her and he's a footballer in the portuguese nt so ofc she knows him

user9 Do you ever stop and think about how lucky Ruben is? Y/N L/N is an absolutely stunning latina billionaire who is genuinely sweet, hilarious, smart, can dance, speaks various languages, and also happens to be the one of the biggest artists in history. Those Aussies really fumbled the bag.

userA user9 and how lucky y/n is since ruben is a 6’2” professional athlete who happens to be on of the best in his position, took the league by storm, is emotionally very intelligent and absolutely handsome. Why do you guys keep mentioning another man when that relationship ended 1 year ago? let it go elsa userB "Those Aussies really fumbled the bag." What did I do? userC If you ask Ruben, there are no ifs, ands, or buts, SHE’S the prize. He worships her. Most likely he asks himself every day how he managed to snag her. But it is also true that he’s sexy af, sweet, rich, and the best there ever was in what he does. So, yeah, she’s also lucky. user9 All of y’all getting mad about this comment are funny. Of course she’s lucky to have Rúben, too. One glance at my profile will show you I’m a big fan of his. That’s just not what this comment was about. And you know who would agree with me about how lucky Rúben is? RÚBEN.

Honored to have made it to the main stage this year. There are no words. Agradecida y bendecida. It’ll take me a minute to process all that was these last two weekends. But for now, just… THANK YOU. ✨💖 #Y/NCHELLA

yourinstagram Happy 25th birthday to the man who somehow always knows exactly what to say—whether in his quiet, thoughtful pauses or his easy laughter, that deep, genuine laugh that’s impossible not to join in ❤️

I love the way you watch the world with that quiet, thoughtful gaze, noticing beauty where others might pass it by. I love the way you bring passion to everything you do—from the way you fold your shirts to the way you double-knot your shoes with that focused little frown, how you playfully roll your eyes at my ‘brilliant’ tik tok ideas that never leave my drafts, and always manage to know when I need a hug, even if I won’t say it out loud. I love the way you insist on folding towels just so, even when you know I’ll mess them up again. I cherish how you hum little tunes without realizing it, how you light up talking about home, about your favorite dishes (where you never miss a chance to remind me that bacalhau & arroz de pato are life 🤌🏽), and how you insist on making everything from scratch because, to you, life’s beauty is in the details.

Thank you for being the gentleness in my chaos, the warmth in my winters, for always reminding me to find my own light, and be the love I never saw coming. Thank you for being you ❤️ Here’s to more adventures, more laughter, and more nights cooking by your side.

I miss you!!!! Counting the hours to see you ⏳

Te amo un mundo, mi cielo ❤️‍🔥

Reunion / Post-TRF Pt. 4

meetinginsamarra said: I'm very curious about "Reunion Part 4" 🙂

As I mentioned on this post, I needed a list for this weekend, and this was the only response I got, so I hope you guys enjoy this list! <3 As usual, if you have a fic to add, please do!!

=====

Tea by Art and Soul (K, 693 w., 1 Ch. || Angst & Friendship, Reunion) – John’s habit of making tea for two has little use, considering his flat-mate has been dead for three years. But he keeps on making that second cup, hoping he’d wake up and it’d be gone. But it never was… (FFNet)

Black Cars by johnsarmylady (T, 1,186 w., 5 Ch. || Friendship, Hurt/Comfort, Post-TRF) – John is getting on with his life...if only he didn't see black cars everywhere! A short Post Reichenbach tale in 221B style in 5 parts. (FFNet)

Hallucinations can't open doors by Bespectacled dreamer (K+, 1,330 w., 1 Ch. || Reunion, Hurt / Comfort, Friendship, Hallucinations, John’s Wedding, Light Humour) – In which John gets married and Sherlock gets a broken nose. (FFNet)

Here to Stay by MockJayPhoenix12 (K, 1,574 w., 1 Ch. || Post Reunion, Friendship, Hurt/Comfort, Headache, Bed Sharing, Care Taker Sherlock, Hand Holding, Fluff) – On Sherlock's first day home, John wakes with a migraine. (FFNet)

Given In Evidence by verityburns (M, 5,034 w., 19 Ch. || PODFIC AVAILABLE || Post-TRF, Angst, Drama, Case Fic, Romance, BAMF!John, Submissive Sherlock, First Kiss, Humour) – Coming back from the dead can be a complicated business. With a new case on the horizon, rebuilding a life is one thing... rebuilding a friendship quite another. For Sherlock and John, things may never be just the same...

This Year by DiscordantWords (T, 6,283 w., 2 Ch. || TEH Divergence / No Mary, New Year’s Eve, John’s A Mess, Jealous John, Awkward Conversations, Trapped in a Closet, Estranged After Return, John POV, Semi-Reunion, Angry John, First Kiss, Reconciliation, Clueless Sherlock, Happy Ending) – Last year, Sherlock Holmes showed up at the Landmark with a fake moustache and a bad French accent and threw John's entire life into disarray with two words: "Not dead." This year, there are more surprises in store.

The Skin Over My Heart by standbygo (E, 8,849 w., 1 Ch. || Post-Hiatus, Fake Relationship, Case Fic, Dog Tags, Military, Homophobia, Gay Bashing, POV First Person Sherlock, Friends to Lovers, First Kiss / Time, Declarations of Love, Undercover, Haircuts, Flashbacks, Touching, Pining Sherlock, Hospitalization, Metaphors, Introspection, Hand Jobs, On the Couch, John’s Past, Angst with Happy Ending) – Sherlock and John are still trying to adjust to Sherlock's return from his hiatus when John's friend Bill Murray brings them a case. Someone is targeting the LGBTQA+ members of Bill's unit. John and Sherlock go undercover at the unit, but when they end up having to flirt to flush out the suspect, Sherlock realizes he's in over his head.

There's So Much Labour Just in Breathing Lately by Susan (E, 12,708 w., 1 Ch. || Post-TRF / Mentions of S3 Events, Romance, Angst, Grief/Mourning, Grieving John, Mutual Pining, Meddling Mycroft, Therapy, Ambiguous Hopeful Ending, Infidelity) – The dreams he hated most – the ones that left him a sweating, shaking mess when he woke – were the ones in which Sherlock was just Sherlock. Laughing or drinking tea. Sitting across the table from him at Angelo’s eating pasta. Trailing his open hand behind him on the way to the bedroom. “C’mon, John. I’m about to have my way with you.”

Sunday Evening 6 p.m. by Silvergirl (E, 30,712 w., 6 Ch. || Post-TRF / TEH Divergence, Grief / Mourning / Stages of Grief, Mutual Pining, Dreams, Reunion, Love Confessions, First Kiss / Time, Alternating First Person POV, Smart John, BAMF Boys, Emotional Love Making, Song Fic, Referenced Suicide, First Kiss / Time, Touching, Sleepy Sherlock, Blow Job, Villain Mary) – Six months after Sherlock jumped, he learns that John is dedicating songs to him on a requests-only radio programme. Is John just working through grief? Or is he—communicating? Fixes the hell out of S3 by pre-empting it altogether. Remember, as TAB told us, John is Pretty Damn Smart.

Inscrutable to the Last by DiscordantWords (M, 48,842 w., 6 Ch. || Post-TRF, Alternate S3, John’s Blog/S3 is a Story By John, Divorce, Marital Difficulties, John is a Mess, Emotional Reunion, Implied/Referenced Suicide, Grief / Mourning, Pining John, First Kiss, Adorably Clueless Sherlock, Nostalgia, Love Confessions, Eventual Happy Ending) – He wasn't Sherlock, he couldn't work miracles. All he'd ever been able to do was write about them.

The Hollow Woman by ScopesMonkey (M, 51,335 w., 22 Ch. || Post-TRF, Major Character Death, Mystery, Romance, Friendship, Family, Angst, Crime, Reunion, First Kiss / Time, Nightmares, Doctor John, Jealous Sherlock, Jealous John, BAMF John, Angry John, Dub-Con, Rough Sex, Bottomlock, Possessive John, Villain Mary, Open Ending) – Forced to return to London sooner than expected, Sherlock falls into a case too close to home. Part 1 of the Hollowverse series

Chapter 4

1/2

Me and My Husband

Wade took 'I fucked the reaper' too seriously. And now he's dead.

Cw: Death, Descriptions of pain, Voices, Character death, Depictions of Heaven, Hell and the Universe, child death.

An apology post

Some asshole always told him… The end of one thing leads to the start of the beginning. Who was that you might ask? Some strange doctor guy who absolutely was kookoo bananas. That's who.

Though.. He was right.

Wade gasps loudly, shifting to sit up. It's bright. Too bright. Lifting a hand to cover the sunlight through the clouds, he rolled his eyes. “Oh no fucking way.. I'm not going to heaven! None of my friends will be there- HA! Oscar Wilde. Man.. what a riot that guy was-”

“Wade.”

A voice says, a figure blocking the sun, the light wrapping around her to make her look ethereal.

“Oh, damn. An angel.” He mutters, realizing that he could talk again, hand coming to his throat as he rubbed it gently. A sigh of relief washes over him as he had his skin back. His true self. Scarred permanently.

She waits patiently for a couple of minutes, letting him steal a few breaths, allowing him to feel all over himself, checking to see if his toes were broken again, rubbing his legs and his arms, and patting his cheeks. This was normal for those who finally got to pass. Especially if in such pain when they left. Her soon to be husband was no exception.

“Not quite, sweetheart.” She whispers, smiling down at him. The true, original angel of death.

Wade squints, then gasps, reaching up to the cloaked woman. “My lady!! Hey babe! What's shakin’? Hopefully your boney ass.”

She chuckles, shaking her head softly. “As much as I do enjoy your playful attempts to initiate, now is not the time for that, my love.”

He frowns “Aw.. why not?” He looks at her like a child pouting, not wanting to leave the park despite the park being closed after a long day.

“Do you know what you just did?” She questions, shifting to sit close to him in the yellow grain.

“Died?” This was obviously A no brainer. He only got to see her after that. That was kkiiinndd of their whole thing.

“Yes but.. Look.” She gestures around them.

The skies were dark, the fields went for miles, the sun only lighting the clouds enough to shine down on them both as he could see a thunderstorm rolling in from the distance, hot flashes of lightning appearing over them once in a while. The storm looked as if it were coming closer, but the wind was changing directions, softly blowing the wheat in all different ways. The storm was metaphorical Wade guessed, how death was always in view, waiting for you. The whole place was absolutely gloomsville. Like a tornado coming and wiping through all you could see, leaving nothing but ruins and godlike light to flow over all who survived.

“It's beautiful.. but you've never brought me here before.”

His Lady says nothing, grinning gently as she lets him figure it out for himself. He's waited far too long for this, there was no point in stealing his thunder. Besides, watching him go through the phases of thinking was always adorable. He was so expressive, each look causing you to guess what he was thinking.

Finally, he gasped again. A eureka moment.

“Wait wait wait… so… I'm dead? Like.. actually dead?? I did it!? I died!?” In almost all of her time doing this, she has never once found anyone so excited to see her, let alone ecstatic for her to bring him home then Wade Winston Wilson. In all of the universe, he had to be one of her favorites. There were others sure, just as Wade had his others, but he would jump into her arms the moment she arrived.

Not cry and shoo her away. Beg her for more time or call her the devil. She was tired of being screamed at. Tired of people calling her cruel. She wasn't cruel. If she was cruel, would she have taken Wade before he could drown in his own internal blood? Before his body failed him? If she was cruel like they said, why would she comfort each and every person she must take? Why would she bother speaking to them so softly and kindly answer the questions that they had for her?

“Yes, darling!” She matched his excitement, as she often did when deserved. He grabs her hands, holding them lovingly as he smiles widely. “Fucking Finally!! You look different though..”

“This is my domain so this is my body.” She says to him, allowing Wade to take her hand, kissing it as he always did. Each knuckle got their own kiss, as he said ‘They got lonely.’ Which was physically impossible because knuckles were not sentient. What a goofball.

Once each knuckle was kissed, he glanced up at her with a sneaky smile. “So If im picking up what you're lying down- in which I most certainly will… Your ass is in fact.. not.. boney anymore?”

“Would you like to find out?” She asks, giving him those teasing eyes.

“Well yeah that's why I asked…Oh..OH- You mean? Fuck yes! I love that and we'll get to that later, I definitely won't forget but.. do you like your new body?” He asks, by now having subconsciously began to pluck the wheat, beginning to braid it together. He always did like making her flower crowns, even if they died the moment they touched her.

Now, It wasn’t often someone took Death aback, But I suppose she chose him as her eternal partner for a reason. “Do I.. like my body?”

“Yeah” He says casually, tying off part of the wheat crown. “I've never liked mine much but.. I think I do now. And you don't have to change yourself for me. I meant what I said.” There was a pause as he strung the end through the tie he made. “I'd fuck you bones and all..” It was a quiet whisper. Intimate. A mutter under his breath as if it were common sense. None different than saying peaches were pink, the mirroring color of her cheeks.

Blinking, she thought for a second. No one has ever asked Death if she enjoyed her own appearance. Let alone someone who has been so desperate to hold her since- well since they first met.

“..Do you not like it?” She asks, confused. Now, Death knew she was extremely beautiful. Either way. But she thought Wade would be all over her by now. Why was he so… Calm..?

“That's not what I asked, M’lady. I asked If you like yourself. Not if I do. But yes, I think you're smokin’ either way, babe.” Wade's head was quiet. Focused. Attention fully on her.

Death is quiet too. Thinking.

He hums to fill the silence. A soft melody.

Death wonders, she knew Wade was quite the romantic, gentlemanly even, but he seemed different. He seemed… Cared for.

In a way she didn't remember providing.

“Yes..”

“Yes that you like your body?”

She nods. “I do..”

He smiles at her, widely with those big white eyes of his. They reflected the sun perfectly, reminding her of pearls from the ocean. Reaching up, He puts the crown on her, watching as it wilts before putting his fingers together like a camera. “Perfect…stunning. Give me a pose!”

Have you ever seen Death blush? Wade has. Very often in fact. She looks down, embarrassed before shifting, leaning back on her arms, tugging up her robe a bit.

“Gorgeous. The camera loves ya, Darlin’!” He teases playfully, snapping a few imaginary photos before she sighs, staring at him with this sense of serenity. How could anyone hurt someone so sweet..? How could they? She was fully aware of Wade's work. She respected it highly for obvious reasons, but even out of work, he made her feel… Mushy.

Warm.

Like she was alive. It was disgusting..retched, foul..

And she wanted more of it.

“How long have we known each other, Wade?” She asks, watching as he starts on his own crown, pulling his legs up to focus, his tongue poking out the same way he used to in special ops when they put him on sniper.

“I wanna say almost 20 years. But I have a feeling you're going to tell me longer.”

She nods, shifting to lean against him. “Much longer. Closer to 30 now if we're going by earth time.”

“Oh yeah? But I thought..” he tries to recall how old he was when they first met, how old he was now, and wondered how old she was. A small giggle came from him. Man she must be a cougar by now, huh? There's no way she was anywhere near an appropriate age for him. Oh well... Logan wasn't either.

“I have known you since you threw that grenade at me.” She whispers.

“Oh yeaahh! I remember that. I could never forget those eyes…I thought it would be a good idea.”

“Wade.. You thought it would be a good idea to throw a grenade at me, tackle me out of the way, and then present the pull tab to me as a ring?”

He shrugs. “Still sounds romantic to me.”

She chuckles, putting her hand in front of his face as he finally notices the ring.

He pauses in disbelief. “.. is..”

“It's the same one.”

“Does that mean I've been married for 30 years!?” He says, Groaning, then pouting.

“Oh mann!! My marriage isn't even legal!?”

“Mmh…engaged..actually.” She wanted to tell him No. That his marriage on earth was not valid, jealous that Logan got to marry him first. She's already taken Vanessa for that same reason but thought this was too cruel. But… She thought he's been through enough today. “It's different.” Death admits. “The universe doesn't have laws to capitalize on Love.”

“Fuck yeah! I love the universe!”

She lets out a giggle, before sighing, enjoying her time with him. By now he would have gone back. It felt amazing to actually have him. To hold him. For him to be hers once and for all.

Though.. something seemed off. He was thinking about something. She knew he was. He was too quiet. “...Most.. people.. have questions by now.” She says, slowly.

Wade nods. “I know..” It's barely a whisper.

She frowns, sitting back up. “What's wrong?”

He shakes his head, dismissively. “Nothing I just.. I guess I'm not used to the silence..”

“It is very peaceful here.” She says, watching as he finishes his wheat crown, putting it on with a wide smile. “What do you think?”

“I think..” She runs her hand down his arm, to his leg. “You look like a prince.”

“Oh, My dear you seem to have forgotten. If you're my Queen, then that makes me King.”

“Mmmmh no.”

“Alright then. Prince it is.” He agrees, instantly submitting to the idea of not being a king. It was far too much work anyway. He preferred to sit around and look pretty, let his Queen do all the work.

Over the course of 2 weeks.. at least… Wade thought so, not actually sure how long it's been but it felt close to that- They got married. Moved into her home, learned a lot about down here, and overall was happy. This entire time he hasn't felt an ounce of unwanted pain, feeling her nails scratching his back but other than that? No. His skin didn't itch, his bones didn't ache, he could even eat whatever he wanted without throwing it back up. Lady said that by rights he shouldn't be able to eat here but she made an exception.

He felt... normal.

It was gross.

Between tackling her in the field, the bed, the couch, and anywhere else she gave him a small tease, he was currently on his stomach, drawing a picture of them getting married, except he was the one being carried in a white dress.

It's been like this for a bit. She would go out for work and he would lounge around the house. There wasn't much to clean or cook so he just did little things like go outside, gather up more flowers and bring them back in to put in the vase, watching them die the moment he set them down. “Hm… Well that sucks. Oh well.” He'd say. He'd go through the closet of clothes, trying them on and seeing which he preferred, meeting her each evening to ask how her day has been, tell her what he did, and ask if there was anything else he could do for her.

Usually, the answer was no, but today she was holding something in her arms.

“Whatcha got there, gorgeous?” Wade hums, getting up as he brings the drawing to the fridge, pinning it with a magnet shaped like a taco.

“A baby.”

“Aww- wait- is he mine!? I thought that took longer!? And why is he so big? You know what, nevermind I don't care. Gimme gimme gimme!” He gasps at first, eyes lighting up with excitement as he puts his arms out.

“He's not yours Wade.”

“Aw shucks. We'll have to fix that later. As for now- Give!”

“He has to go,Wade.”

“I know!”

“So you can not get attached to him. Understand? His life is over.”

She of all people has overlooked him for decades now? Watching his heart swell 6 times its size the first time he even saw Vanessa let alone all those other small things.. between Theresa and those guys in the army. His heart was so large but never truly full. He could love forever and she thinks it's part of the reason he adored her so. One needed great patience and a true love for mother nature to understand the ongoing death and rebirth of life. To wait for her until his final end. And now he finally had it.

“Oh.. I can still hold him though right?”

She smiles, almost melting. “Even death is so kind to allow a child one last embrace of warmth.. you know that.”

She hands him the baby and Wade instantly begins coeing, nuzzling the boy's head and bouncing him. “Awww what a sweet.. er”

“Andrew.”

“Awww cute little andrew. How’d ya die buddy?”

“Car crash…”

“Oh… poor thing.” He gives the baby a couple of kisses and a good squeeze.

“Where's your mama? Hm? Or just you?” He asks the child, who gabbed nonsense.

“Oh yeah?? Bitch left ya? Don't worry. We'll look after you. Won't we babe?”

“Wade… no. He must go now.”

This was what she worried about. Worried that he would become upset once Andrew had to leave, but She knew how much Wade loved babies… if only she could have her own… she wondered if she would be a good mother before shaking her head. No. Death can never bare children. Not in a way in which she would ever get to meet them anyway-

“Oh.. right… well- where's he going? Surely babies don't go to hell?”

She gives him a sympathetic look. “Oh sweetheart… there is no hell.”

“Ooohh okay. I was wondering how I got into heaven.” He wiggles his eyebrows at her. She laughs quietly. “No honey. There's no “true” heaven either. He's going back to the universe.”

There was actually both Heaven AND Hell but the majority of writers got it wrong. The majority of mortals assumed that heaven was all clouds and lights, robes and wings but in truth Heaven was much more of an Office. A well lit, perfect temperature, never behind or over worked office. With mandatory 5 weeks vacation and paid maternity leave. That is… if angels could HAVE children. Such a silly thing to think about.

Hell on the other hand was in fact on fire. But not because of pitchforks and hellflame, more like because the fax machine was overheating and finally caught ablaze. Yes there was torture and agony for eternity but this was because hell did NOT have mandatory vacation and would fire you if you even LOOKED with child. How could you not be miserable if you are handed 50 new cases every single minute of every day until the end of all time itself?

“Wha-what do you mean? You're just going to throw him into space?? All alone?”

“He won't be alone darling. He has the entire plane of all things known to look after him.”

“Oh…”

She noticed that he was struggling to understand. Oh poor humans. Their brains could never comprehend such things.

“Think of it like this.. how many stars are there in the sky?”

“We think about two trillion but I have a feeling you're going to tell me somethin’ different, yeah?”

“Well… Think of all those stars as souls who have passed on.”

“Hm..What do they turn into?” He scratches his head.

“Energy.”

“So.. they're stars?”

“No. Just shapeless energy ready to form something new.”

“If you think about it.. Stars ARE shapeless energy.”

“Good point.”

“So…How long does that take? To be reincarnated or whatever?” His wrist flicks around a bit, gesturing to the child who was just sent off.

“Your idea of reincarnation is much different than the truth. But to answer your question..It can take forever if the universe deems it.” She smiles upwards. “Do you have any more questions?” She loved answering his questions. Wade was much more curious and intelligent that he let on in the mortal realm and it made her newfound skin tingle.

“...How are we in space right now if the underworld is.. you know.. Under?”

“Ah, that's a good one. Try not to think about places in time as a construct my dear. Time itself isn't even a straight flowing line.. people just think it is because it's easier that way. Little Andrew here is already an adult somewhere.” She smiles, shoulder to shoulder with him as she watches the ‘Star’ move far away, going where the universe needs it.

“He is?”

“Sometime.. yes.”

“...does he remember us?” Wade asks, asking about Andrew yes, but he was actually referring to himself, curious if he would start to lose his earthly memories.

“No. I'm afraid not. If he's lucky he will have some remembrance of his life, but I doubt it because he was so young.”

Wade thinks for a moment. “Where do his memories go?”

“They're dispersed throughout the ‘stars’ just as he was.” It was actually much more complicated than that but eh- this was much simpler. He frowns, processing. (It was a lot easier now that there weren't other people screaming in his head- at least, not as loud.)

“... so.. one day I'll be nothing.. forever… and all of the memories, all the things i've seen… will be gone? Kaput?”

She ponders, thinking if it were possible to keep him here and still retain his memories. Any other human would have their mind wiped by now but she made the exception and now was trying to think of a way to explain this.

“Y-you mean one day Im gonna get sucked up into that and My head, my shoulders, knees and toes, AND my eyes and my body and me are going to disappear?!” He asks, upset.

This, Obviously was a no no for her.

Shaking her head, she took his hand. “No. You won't. You might forget things that are unimportant to you, but you will remember everything that makes you..well.. You. There's no need to worry. You'll still have your body. Over time it will become like mine, but, It's not that bad really. You can't feel a thing.” She explains.

Taking a breath, He sighs heavily before whispering. “...But I want to feel..”

“What? Why?”

“I need to feel, Hope.”

The woman pauses, tilting her head. It wasn't often Wade said her true name.

“Why would you want to feel pain?”

“I-” he starts, eyes darting back and forth as he looks over the expression on his face.

“...Pain is what keeps me alive..”

Her head tilts the other way.

“Not anymore. You don't have to be in pain ever again.”

He shook his head. “That's not what I mean, babe. Without pain, I can't feel. Without feelings… There's no point in living..”

Hope is silent. She can't remember the last time she was ligitamently alive but.. this feeling she felt in her chest when he spoke to her so sweetly was the closest thing She had to that.

“..But.. you aren't alive, Wade..” She whispers, Watching him come to the realization that this was serious. This is it.

Wade Winston Wilson is Dead...with a capital D.
