In like 2020 some of my friends and I rewrote Romeo and Juliet, and I don’t remember much of it other than “We’ll cut off the heads of the maidens, isn’t that right Twitch chat?” and I think that says a lot about society as a whole

Bad Sanses x Princess! S/O perhaps? (That one bride and her ugly ass groom meme lol)
YES!
MASTERLIST
BAD SANSES X PRINCESS S/O
NIGHTMARE:
Nightmare is a royal himself (or so he addresses himself as one), so having someone be on the same power position as him, makes him respect you.
I mean, he is an asshole to everyone, but you.
He makes sure that you're treated with the utmost respect by the others too.
You truly overall get more advantages, being Nightmare 'princess friend'.
Now the next thing I'm gonna say, is gonna be shocking.... He's kind to you.
Yes, that's right. I'd say you're lucky. Being treated like a treasure by the king of negativity himself, is a huge achievement.
He even listens to you when you command him something.
"Night! Stop traumatizing this poor man!" "Yes, of course, anything for you, love."
He's determined to make Killer lay on the puddles of water, just so you can come across it.
A sugar daddy Nightmare??
He buys you literally anything you want. Anything your heart desires, you already posses.
You know that one song from Lana Del Rey? That's the kind of relationship going on with you two.
"Would you ever kill for me, one day?" Him immediately without thinking about it, replying; "Yes, of course I will my darling."
KILLER/BLADE:
When I say that this man's HOOKED. Then I mean he's hooked.
He would try to woo you somehow. Gives you flowers, flirts.
But Nightmare doesn't really let him, since he thinks that Blade is too much of a commoner to even attempt at wooing you.
He's devastated fr.
Ya know Romeo and Juliet? That's what's going on. He's gonna sneak himself through your window, while you're giggling at his silly behavior.
You'd probably think he was cute. (And he was lmao)
He's be interested in all the royal stuff, and definitely asks you about it more than once.
He likes your dresses. He wants to try them too! (And he probably did once)
You're like two high schoolers hiding from their parents (Nightmare) while giggling through it.
He'd get in a lot of situations, that you'll have to get him out of, but they're probably all done just for you.
Like, he saw this thing that you so desperately want, and he'd steal it. That kind of thing.
Y'all give me major Flynn Rider and Rapunzel vibes.
DUST/ACE:
Ace would be nervous at approaching you. He probably thinks that the worst possible thing happens.
He's gonna prepare for a conversation with you, a MONTH before talking to you.
You'd think he was cute or something, so you'd just look at him doe eyes. (That made him more nervous)
He wants to hear you talk all the time. Loves your voice, even more when you're explaining things.
He's such a good listener, I swear to god.
Ace would like the fact you two are completely different, when it comes to a position. He's not a royal, or anything like that, so he feels like it's really romantic.
Ace can't stop talking about you, whenever you're not near him.
"So then that happened." "Yeah, that's cool, but did you know Y/N-"
HORROR/TED:
Literally thinks you're the prettiest thing to have ever graced his eye.
He wants to treasure you, and make sure you're safe at all times.
He's gonna be like your personal guard. He's gonna carry you over puddles... Anything!
He's not really talkative though, so he'd probably just watch you intently while you're out here talking his nonexistent ears off.
Please, show him some dresses! He wants to see you in them!
Horror likes the nature, so there's gonna be a lot of walks through the woods or something.
He also likes chopping wood. So he's gonna be out there breaking a brick of wood only with his hands, and you're gonna be drooling over how strong he is. (Me too girlie. Me too)

⊹   ᳝ ࣪ ♡ ࣪   ᳝ ⊹
Her voice echoed like the sweet melody of an early bird, her eyes pleaded for help or simply just for mercy.
A now forgotten white cotton blouse viciously adorned with crimson droplets of who knows how many people, thankfully all that blood wasn't hers.
It was almost mystical how the blonde found her; soft-looking face full of dirt, hair in a beautiful mess and tears falling like cascades from her mysterious eyes, sitting in the grass with wildflowers surrounding her. Similar to the numerous injured deers she rescued with her father, a misty memory she treasured jealousy.
"Please, help me" the injured girl begged. Looking into the blonde's eyes in a desperate attempt of human empathy, innocently hoping to find some relief in another human.
The blonde inspected the injured girl, cold blue eyes searching for any sign of lies and also weapons but there was none of that, the girl's sweet voice sounded with undeniable need and her trembling hands holding her twisted ankle showed clearly that she hadn't any weapons near her.
"Are you a Scar? Why are you here if your people are miles away?" The blonde girl barked. Adrenaline still rushed through her veins, her years of training showed in the way her strong hands holded her rifle against her front, always ready to attack.
"Seraphite. And yes I am... Was, I ran away. I can't be with them anymore." The injured girl shivered as she explained to the blonde. Tears washing the dirt off of her cheeks and neck, making the blonde stare for a little too long.
"I'm not bit or armed, I just need help with my ankle. I ran almost all day and I accidentally twisted it a few hours ago. I can't stand on foot and I need to go somewhere safer" the injured girl spoke again. Her eyes drifted to the blonde's arms, to her rifle and to her piercing eyes. She wondered if her prayers were answered, and if they did she was certainly seeing her savior angel in front of her, with long golden hair and deep blue eyes like the sky at night, full of mystery.
The blonde stared and stared, her exterior looked angry and tough but in her mind she was having a whole battle. The thought of helping that girl was fighting with her "duty" that was imposed by a man who wanted just to massacre and murder people for a territory that in reality wasn't of someone in the first place.
"Please, soldier" the injured girl begged again. The blonde girl blinked as soon as she heard that soft voice again, her thoughts temporarily subsided by those teary eyes staring at her.
The blonde didn't respond, instead she just put her rifle on her shoulder and kneeled gently next to the injured girl. This was so new to her, she was the best and most deadly soldier in the QZ, she never showed mercy before. Why did she suddenly have the need to help someone? Especially one of the people she considerate the lowest of all. The blonde didn't knew but a small part of her felt powerful for doing that, she felt capable of doing more than chaos and death.
The blonde girl took a few bandages of her washed out green backpack and began to roll the thin white material around the ankle of the injured girl. She did it as gently as possible, it was almost sweet due to her big and tough appearance.
"What's your name?" The injured girl asked in a gentle whisper. She watched how carefully the blonde was and also how the blonde's features were hardened but strangely sweet and angelic, a beautiful mixture of deadly beauty and danger.
The blonde stopped her actions, surprised by the sudden curiosity of the mysterious girl. She turned her attention now to those beautiful doe eyes that magically weren't pooled with tears anymore.
"Abby" the blonde whispered back, soft and warm voice filled the cold air. She watched intently how her eyes told her many things.
"Thank you, Abby" A gentle smile appeared on the other girl's slightly chapped lips. The blonde's face mimiqued the action with a slight blush on her nose and cheeks, accentuating her freckles. Abby felt so lost, she felt that she hadn't control of her body. Those strange feelings were more than new to the blonde, she felt so different like she wasn't her anymore.
The moment went as fast as it came, in the form of hurried whistles and crushing leaves. The remaint group of Scars in that place were persistent, and they searched for the girl who was a traitor, an apostate.
"Fuck, we need to get out of this place, we're too exposed" Abby whispered hurriedly, taking her backpack and weapons with rush. She looked down at the girl on the floor, poorly trying to stand up but it was no case. Her muscles were too sore to even try to stand up.
"We can go there, that way there are some hidden cabins that the elder used as ceremony places, they're abandoned we can hide there" the mysterious girl explained. Abby wanted to think this was a lie, that it could be some sort of ambush but the other part of her brain said that she needed to believe her again.
Without a warning, the blonde lifted the girl from the ground so easily. The mysterious girl gasped at the sudden action but didn't complain, she just limited herself to cross her arms behind the blonde's broad shoulders. The air filled with tension and a certain awkwardness from both parts. Surely Abby had helped some other soldiers in patrols, even helped them to get rid of their clothes to treat their wounds but this time she didn't feel the same, she suddenly was hyper aware of her moves and how skin collided with skin.
୨ 🔨 ୧
After what it felt like an eternity, Abby and the other girl were now inside one of those ceremony cabins. Thanks to Abby the windows and door were barricaded with different wooden furniture. The abandonment evident in the rotten flowers near some sort of paint of a woman with a divine halo; The Prophet.
"They haven't come here since I can remember, it's too far from our campsite so they won't find us here" the mysterious girl explained. Her figure resting on a chair near a table as Abby stood in front of her, backpack and guns still on as she crossed her muscled arms.
Abby wasn't really proud of this situation, she always accomplished her missions, she did what she was told and not more. She got used to it after almost seven years of doing the same routine. At least that kept all those negative thoughts and anxiety on border.
The blonde's eyes didn't leaved the girl at any moment, her soldier brain told her to kill her, to get back at base and recover that sense of had "cleaned" everything, but the truth was that she felt curious about the girl, she wanted to know why she suddenly deserted. There was something about that girl that caught Abby's attention bladly.
"Why did you leave your people?" Abby asked. Her voice was husky enough to cause the other girl to squirm nervously in the chair.
"I was one of the many people taking care of the elders and children. I knew our people prepared soldiers but they only said it was just to defend our people from the Demons, until I found a letter saying we were in a war with some group of people and we needed to kill them all... even children and women, innocent people. So I ran away just in time when those people arrived to the Island" the mysterious girl explained. Her face and especially her eyes showed a deep sadness and a deeper disgust.
The explanation caught Abby out of guard, how could a Scar not know the actual state of the growing tension between Wolves and Scars? How could someone be so stupid to not know? Certainly this was a situation that Abby didn't knew how to deal with.
"I thought all your people wanted to kill everyone who weren't into your fucking religious stuff" Abby scoffed. Half smile and voice tone sarcastic as ever, the comment came almost without thinking and as the girl's eyes grew watery again she knew she fucked up, her and her sarcastic humor always finding the worst timing to appear.
"We aren't like that, at least not all of us. They just twisted her texts, If she were here all those conflicts would have disappeared" the Scar girl whispered. Her gaze relied on the worn out mural painted into the wooden wall. The image of that woman smiling so sweetly and showing both her hands made Abby want to puke, she was tired of that same image and those same stupid prayers everybody recited after their last breath.
The blonde remain in silence, opting to just sit on another chair near the window to search for any sign of Scars, Infected or Wolves. She couldn't get involved with a Scar, no, because surely Isaac would kill her before hearing a reasonable explanation.
୨ 🔨 ୧
The gloomy and freezing night came and with it, a sharp muscle pai too. Abby was beyond tired, she left the base a week ago and since then she had no real breaks, just occasional naps in abandoned buildings with her patrol group. Speaking of them, they surely were searching for her and wondering how the hell she went through "another path" in the woods.
Abby layed on the floor, unfolding a small sleeping bag out of her backpack, ready to have some sleep and hopefully forget about the pain in her back and legs.
The mysterious girl did the same, laying on the floor with nothing to keep her warm. She was squirming on the floor, trying to hug herself to feel her own body heat. Abby and the girl haven't spoken since that conversation they had a few hours ago but Abby couldn't help looking at the girl and feel pity.
"Here... Use it to keep you warm" Abby spoke as she handed her black jacket to the girl.
The girl took it with caution at first but then she just didn't care anymore, she was freezing and she needed it. She put on the jacket, this last one almost swallowing her whole frame but at least she was getting warmer.
A Scar wearing a Wolf jacket, really ironic.
"Thank you, Abby. I'll give it back to you in the morning" the girl answered as she got back down to her previous position, ready to sleep and hopefully find some peace in the events she had been through these past hours.
୨ 🔨 ୧
The night passed by as fast as a shooting star, the distant chirp of birds and warm bits of sunlight were a gentle call to wake up.
The Seraphite's eyes opened slowly, a soft groan escaped through her lips. The aftermath of all that happened yesterday in the presence of sore muscles and low energy.
She sat up, the blonde's jacket hugging her body and dipping her in a spiral of scents; Pine, dirt and a slight touch of gunpowder. Speaking of the owner, she wasn't there, no sight of her belongings, no sight of her, just that forgotten item and the bandages resting on the girl's ankle.
Anxiety built deep inside the girl's chest, she was facing the consequences of her previous acts, she was alone. A part of her mind scolded herself for thinking that Wolf would've stayed with her, for thinking with so much innocence.
Her ankle was a lot better than the day before but she wasn't sure of what to do, she survived and that was beyond her expectations. Her hands shook as they clinged to the jacket, she watched out the window but there was nothing to see, she was gone.
୨ 🔨 ୧
Those eyes, those beautiful eyes. So deep almost she could see her reflection in them, so crystal clear. Two little windows to the shiny galaxies, reflecting in a deep beauty even the most lethal human being, Abigail.
And oh her voice as sweet as a juicy peach in summer season, sweeter than the purest maple syrup in the whole world, calming like the morning breeze. Maybe all of that caused Abby to feel guilt of leaving the girl there, or maybe all of that caused something deeper and complex inside her that Abby wasn't able to understand.
"What the fuck am I doing? Shit, Abby" the blonde muttered to herself as she walked to the cabin. The outside looked the same after four days, Abby knew the girl could not be there but she tried to console herself repeating that 'there was a chance'.
"Please be there, Please be there" again, the blonde muttered. She gently knocked the door, there was a tense silence and then the door opened slowly. It was her, the girl, she had a wooden stick in her hands, something to defend herself.
"Abby?" the girl whispered. She lowered the stick and kept looking at the blonde, her wide eyes full of hope. A new found spark in them.
"Hi" the blonde smiled sincerely and continued "Are you alright? I thought you wouldn't be here, staying here is too risky" Abby's voice was shaky, she felt like a sick dog wanting to jump to the girl's bones and drag her out of that rotten cabin.
"I was going to but I was too scared to leave the cabin by myself" the girl explained as she opened the door fully. "Why are you here, Abby?" she continued, resting the stick on the table. And there was Abby's jacket, doing the same thing it did four days ago, keeping the girl warm.
"I'm giving you a chance. You'll go with me" Abby answered. Her voice was firm, she wasn't asking, she was commanding.
"What? Where? Abby, if your people see me they're gonna kill me with no hesitation!" The girl's voice was filled with desperation and fear. A Scar in a Wolf territory? Unthinkable!
"I know, I know but listen to me. I know a place, you could be safe there. I just– I can't let you here all by yourself" Abby spoke. Her jaw clenched tight, searching for the best way to say it, looking into the other girl's eyes wanting to communicate just by it.
"Why?" the girl answered. Abby blinked as soon as she heard it. Why? Why was she doing all of this?
Abby couldn't speak or think straight, her eyes searched for an answer in the worn out image of The Prophet, in the rotten flowers, in her jacket resting in the table, in the eyes of that girl.
"Because– I don't know, to lighten the load I guess. I want to do something right for the first time in ages" the blonde confessed. Her mind was still in a constant dilemma but she was sure at least that she wanted to do something different, to take a different path just like she did when she found the girl.
The girl didn't respond but her eyes never left Abby's. The blonde could feel how her eyes could read her entirely, she swore those pretty eyes could disarm her in mere seconds. Oh those eyes.
୨ 🔨 ୧
"Stay behind me, be careful and watch for any sign of infected or people. You know how to fight?" The blonde whispered. Both of them were outside the cabin.
"Just the basics I think, but don't worry about me I'll help you if we cross with Demons" the girl whispered back. Her body was framed with Abby's jacket, shaky hands holding the wooden stick and doe eyes looking at Abby. She was clearly scared and Abby knew it.
୨ 🔨 ୧
The golden light was already gone, the sound of leaves crushing with every step grew louder as the night approached. The minimum noise made Abby hold her gun tighter and point to the place where the sound came from, she was more focused than she normally was, she felt fear for the first time in so long.
Everything was quiet, oddly quiet. It had passed at least two hours and according to Abby they were really close to 'that place' she kept talking about during the walk. Everything was quiet, oddly quiet, until it wasn't.
"We are just a few minutes away from it, We can– shit! Get down!" Abby whispered hurriedly. She and the girl used an abandoned car as cover, a group of Scars were patrolling near an area full of containers.
"Fuck, we have to pass through them, it's the only way" Abby spoke again. Her gun ready, taking glances at the group of Scars from time to time "Okay, this is what we're gonna do. We're going to sneak and kill those two guys on the left and there we can cover with those containers, as for the rest leave them to me, got it?" There was that commanding Abby again, and it was fascinating to the other girl.
The girl nodded, too focused on the whole change in the blonde's demeanor. Her voice deep and firm, her eyes darker and her features getting even more sharped if that was actually possible.
Abby sneaked behind some other cars getting nearer to that area, followed closely by the girl. The tension and fear were palpable, sweaty palms holding to dear life to a gun and to a wooden stick.
The blonde nodded to the girl and in a blink she got one of the men from behind, her bicep making pressure into the man's neck and in seconds he was gone, as if his neck was a mere toothpick, so easily.
The girl watched it all, she saw how Abby ended a life like a cold war machine. How Abby killed one of "her people" and she was going to do the same, she had to do the same.
Abby did all automatically, it was the same to her. Infected or not infected, she couldn't care less but the Seraphite girl wasn't like that.
"Use this to kill that guy, I'll kill the other ones. We got this" Abby whispered. Her big hand wrapped the girl's, giving her a knife she had found somewhere and as she did this her grip was tighter, encouraging the poor and terrified girl to kill.
Everything happened so fast, Abby was gone dealing with other Scars as the girl got closer to the man, her hands shook and tears threatened to come out. Then everything went downhill.
The girl tried to grab the man from behind just like Abby but it was obviously impossible to recreate what the blonde did. The girl sneaked her arms on the man's neck trying to stab him but the man threw her away as soon as he felt her, whistling hurriedly and walking to the girl, ready to attack her.
The sudden shock of what happened made the girl act by pure instinct, she crawled to reach the knife and when she did nothing was going to be the same. The man turned her around violently and as soon as he did the girl stabbed him in the neck.
She choked a moan of disgust and fear, blood dripping from her face as well as tears. The eyes of the man lost their shine, losing the life on them as well as his body. The girl froze instantly at the realization of what happened, of what she did, she swore she wouldn't be like those who called her family before, she swore she was going to be better than them and there she was, she took a life.
As soon as Abby noticed and heard the whistles she ran, searching for the girl. She found her there on the floor with a dead Scar on top of her.
"Hey, hey– Are you okay? Fuck" the blonde breathed as she throw the dead body to the side and helped the girl to be on her feet again.
Panic, fear and disgust filled the girl's eyes, she kept crying as Abby spoke again "Hey, look at me, look at me. We need to move now, we're close" Abby's hands tried to wipe the blood out of the girl's face, guilt covering her heart once again. She knew that wasn't easy at first.
୨ 🔨 ୧
"What are you thinking? You seem a bit off since this morning" the blonde asked. The book she was reading was now closed on the table.
"Oh sorry, I just– I was thinking of when we met and all the crazy things that happened after" the girl answered. A small smile appeared on her plush lips.
The time passed faster than the girls intended. After arriving at the aquarium the bond between Abby and the Scar girl grew and grew.
Abby explained to her how that place was discovered a long time ago from one of her good friends named Owen, who soon after she awkwardly confessed that he was her romantic interest when she was younger, but after his mysterious death she had claimed the aquarium as her personal place to recover when everything was too much. The blonde also showed some pictures of her other friends, from the W.L.F too. Abby and her soon found calm in each other, a friendship blossomed from all the disgrace, death and sadness.
But nothing was that easy. The Wolves were searching for Abby as soon as the rumors ran across the FOB halls, everyone talked about how Abby betrayed them just for a Scar. Abby had to constantly go out the aquarium and kill whatever thing threatened to disturb both her and the girl, it didnn't matter if they were infected or people from both groups, Scars and Wolves. It was a miracle that the only few people that knew about the aquarium wouldn't say anything because Abby was their friend.
“Yeah,” the blonde chuckled. “Everything happened so fast. When was that? Like five months ago?” She looked at the girl and smiled. That was something she did more, smile.
“Yeah, but in those few months I've learned more than all my years in this world” the girl answered between giggles. And she was true, Abby had taught her a few self-defense things, she taught her how to use a gun and how to fight if she needed to and the girl was beyond thankful for everything.
“Well, you've learned from the best fucking soldier in Seattle” the blonde answered back. A cocky smile appeared on her face as she crossed her arms and groaned when her back touched the old couch.
“Whatever you say, Anderson!” The girl rolled her eyes at the usual antics of the blonde. She walked close to Abby, sitting on the other side of the couch, “You're such a goober” the girl whispered, looking at the blonde with a deep admiration, and other things. A warm smile on her lips.
“Hey! That's my word!” Abby gasped fakely. Another gorgeous smile appeared on her lips. She turned to the side to see the girl properly, the side of her face resting on her strong bicep just as the girl did.
Both admired each other's features, silently bathing in each other's presence. Abby and the girl developed the habit of talking with their eyes, a short look and they already knew it all.
Abby knew that this “friendship” was more than that, she felt it. After a couple of weeks after being with the girl in the aquarium she knew that the feeling in her chest wasn't just a platonic feeling, it was beyond that. Especially at night when the awful memories came back in the form of chaotic nightmares, for both of them, but the warm embraces melted every nightmare and fear.
Abby caught herself thinking about the girl when she read a classic novel or sometimes she stared too much at the girl when she was brushing her hair or was cooking. Oh and it was even more evident when a blushed Abby directed the girl's body when they were training, it was all the time and she knew the girl felt the same way she did, her flushed cheeks and shy smiles when Abby praised her for doing something correctly, or when she wrapped her arms around the blonde's torso at night.
“Thank you, Abby” the girl whispered. Her hand reached Abby's, softly running circles on her palm and there was again that soft blush on the girl's cheeks, the exact same way when Abby found her.
“Why are you thanking me?” the blonde answered. Her brows furrowed with confusion.
“For everything you gave me and you still do. And because you didn't kill me that day” the voice of the girl broke like thin glass. Abby felt a lump in her throat, glossy eyes and mouth agape at the girl’s words.
“I– You don't need to thank me. I do this because I l– because I care for you!” The blonde stuttered with her own words. Her heart beated wildly inside her strong chest, she wanted to say more but she simply couldn't.
Abby wanted to scream all her feelings, to name whatever she was feeling. But for a reason it was so hard, even when she had that teenage romance with Owen she didn't feel like this, not even a little.
Sometimes at night Abby had to wake up and go to her little bookshelf to read something to distract her mind, she even roamed the aquarium wanting to do dumb things and distract herself from the pretty image of the girl sleeping so peacefully next to her. “Damn it Abby, why did you bring the brilliant idea of asking her to sleep on the same bed?” The blonde thought, every night.
“I know, Abigail,” the girl whispered back. The hand that was touching Abby's was now gently stroking Abby's cheek. Her soft skin kissing the blonde's face, her fleckles deep and a mauve color adorning her nose and cheeks. The way the girl said “Abigail” felt so intimate, just her father called her like that and that was at least ten years ago.
The girl didn't allow Abby to react or respond, she got off the couch and smiled. The girl walked to the little room they designated to cook.
୨ 🔨 ୧
Dinner went normal, and for normal we could say just Abby being a little awkward as the girl talked about different recipe books she had found.
“Can I show you something? I know you like when I read out loud and uhm– I remembered that I wanted to read you something” the blonde spoke. She and the girl were cleaning the dinner dishes.
“Oh I would love that, Abby. Please show me” the girl answered. Her voice filled with curiosity as her eyes lit up. Abby loved seeing her like that.
“Okay, leave this for tomorrow yeah? This is important” Abby's voice showed her nervousness and all the emotions she tried to swallow deep deep down. She took the hand of the girl and dragged her to the room they had to sleep, the girl laughed softly and almost ran in contrast to the long and fast steps Abby gave.
“Abby, you're going to make me fall!” the girl said between giggles “what's something so important that you are practically making me run?” the girl spoke again. A foolish smile appeared on her face.
“Just sit here and listen to it, please. It's important to me” the blonde answered back. Her voice and stern face made the girl's smile drop in a look of concern.
Abby's hands pushed the girl's shoulders down to make her sit on the neat bed, then she took a small storage box where she kept her favorite books, classics novels that belonged to her father and she could keep them thanks to Mel, one of her friends.
“I've read this book a couple of times. I always thought it was too dramatic or corny compared to how I saw life years ago. But now it makes sense, and it feels so amazingly strange, you know?” the blonde explained. A copy of Romeo & Juliet was in between her hands as she sat on a chair in front of the girl.
The girl didn't understood too much at the beginning, surely Abby was acting a little bit strange and that made her heart beat wildly inside her chest.
And as for Abby, she was so nervous and tried to stay focused on what her heart, mind and body wanted to say.
“So the other day reading it again I felt something warm on my chest, I felt like something clicked in my head. And I needed to tell you before it's too late, listen carefully please” the blonde finally looked at the girl. The dim light of the room made the situation more intimate, as if it was just them in the whole world.
“I will, Abby,” the girl answered. Her voice as sweet as ever.
The blonde smiled with shyness but opened the book in the page she had put a paper on to remember it. And then she proceeded to read out loud, soft and velvety voice adorned the background with a sweet melody of words.
“But soft, what light through the yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the Sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief that you, her maid, are far more fair than she. Be not her maid since she is envious. Her vestal livery is but sick and green, and none but fools do wear it. Cast it off” the blonde read it with emotion filling her chest, her voice was sweet as her gloomy blue eyes danced across the letters, her grip tight and her cheeks warm and pink.
The girl listened to Abby, focused and instantly warped around her as Abby's voice seemed to put the girl in a trance, Abby's words echoed on the girl's brain and heart.
“It is my lady. Oh it is my love. Oh, that she knew she were, she speaks, yet she says nothing: what of that? Her eye discourses; I will answer it” she paused. Looking up to the girl to see if she felt that feeling coming up from her stomach to her chest and to finally her throat. And she smiled again when she saw how the girl's eyes glowed like the pretty moonlight, like the chaotic fire. And Abby knew the girl felt the same as her.
“I am too bold. ‘Tis not to me she speaks: Two of the fairest stars in all heaven, having some business, do entreat her eyes to twinkle in their spheres till they return. What if her eyes were there, there in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars, as daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven would through the air region stream so bright that birds would sing and think it were day and not night. See how she leans her cheek upon her hand, oh that I were the glove upon that hand, that I might touch that cheek…” Abby read. Her cheeks got even more reddish and her gaze positioned on the girl's form, again. Nervousness eating her from the inside.
“Oh Abby,” the girl whispered. She got up from the bed and gave short little steps to be right in front of Abby, closer than before. The delicate hand of the girl took Abby's making her look up from her position in the chair, admiring the delicate and serenity in the girl's face, her dark eyes were capable of making the burning fire in the blonde's heart burn wildly.
The Seraphite girl smiled, oh that sweet smile that Abby adored a lot, and as she did so her arms instantly wrapped Abby in a tight embrace. The blonde's face rested in the girl's chest hearing the melody inside it, her fears no longer important, her feelings clearer, her heart raced with happiness and everything because of her. Her own Juliet.
“It makes sense now because I feel like Romeo, I understand him! I envy the sunlight that caresses your skin, I envy the moonlight who can make your eyes shine like stars, I–” the blonde paused her rambling. She stood up, taking in between her large hands the girl's face, and continued, “I love you” she whispered. Her face inches apart from the girl's, baby hairs framed her beautiful face as her nose gently caressed the girl's.
“I know, Abby. I always knew it because I feel just the same, you were my savior angel, and I will always be thankful for that. I love you, I love you, I love you” the girl confessed. Her own hands caressing Abby's face, bathing in the deep ocean in the blonde's eyes, her dump kissing little scars on the blonde's cheek, scars of long forgotten fights, of forgotten sadness.
Abby leaned to kiss the girl. The most precious and sweet of the kisses, lips exploring the other ones with such passion and love. A first kiss that told more than all the romantic novels in Abby's bookshelf, calm after the storm, igniting fire building on their bodies.

Hellloooo!!! I don’t wanna add to your workload so if this just piles on, please delete it! 😅😊 I just had an idea for a newt x reader fic where they’re in an established relationship in the Glade and during a bonfire one night the boys all ask newt questions about what it’s like to date reader and how it feels and newt just answers with the upmost sweetness. Reader overhears and fluff ensues!!!!
fluff ensues has got to be one of my favorite plot descriptions. like yeah it absolutely will do that (and no worries, nothing will stop the workload from being! newt just helps make it better <3)
masterlist
Tumblr media
Newt is aware that he is a little bit luckier than most. This is a sentiment that he never thought he’d be caught dead believing. Not in the Glade. Not in the Maze. Not anywhere in this surreal mess of a place. Yet it’s on repeat in his head on a day to day basis nonetheless, ticking off the hours like an alarm clock consisting solely of his blessings. 
Newt didn’t think he’d have that much to brag about. No memories means no history he can mention to his equally luckless friends. Still, he’s got one important victory in his life that no one else can even dream of, and that’s the fact that he’s dating Y/N. Yeah, that certainly sets him apart in the world of good things given to kids who can’t quite convince themselves they deserve them. 
Some would say that Newt is being a little dramatic. He would argue that his response is perfectly within reason. One girl has been sent up in all the months that anyone’s been in the Glade, one girl and one girl alone, and she just happened to choose him. Around here, that’s grounds for being nominated for sainthood. 
Newt isn’t going to act like he’s not just over the moon every time he thinks about the whole situation. Against all odds, Y/N fell in love with him. That’s so unreal that Newt has to pinch himself every hour on the hour just to make sure it isn’t a dream. He never tries too hard, though. Just in case. 
He didn’t have many thoughts on love before she came up. There wasn’t really time now, was there? It was just him and the scores of other stragglers making do in their bloody terrible world. You don’t spend much time lingering over potential sweethearts when the closest thing to a Romeo is Gally yelling at everyone in the Glade except his friends.
Not great dating material, to say the least. Even when Y/N came up that one month, though, he still hadn’t fallen for her from the start. He liked her, obviously, she was nice and didn’t test his patience, but he was perfectly content to keep her as a friend, just that. Great expectations have a way of letting you down. Newt’s learned that if you keep your eyes on the ground, stop looking up at the sun and stars, you’ll be able to deal with it a little easier when all your brightest aspirations go away.
He’d done that before and he planned on doing it again. Even as time passed and he realized that his heart had a funny way of speeding up whenever she was nearby, when it occurred to him that his daily routines always had a way of working in chances to see her, Newt forced himself to ignore everything. Maybe he liked the way the morning sunlight always played on Y/N’s face, maybe he could have spent hours wondering over the way her eyes sparkle when she laughs. It was nothing that he could ever commit to treasuring above anything else.
It took several rounds of self-talk and about a dozen different interventions staged by his friends for Newt to get up the courage to tell Y/N how he felt. Hell, it took at least half of those interventions for him to even admit how he felt to himself. Newt had been internalizing for so long that bringing some of those emotions to the forefront of his attention was damned near impossible. Minho, Alby, and a few others, however, were so sick of seeing him ‘mope around like a lovesick fool,’ to quote them specifically, that they were dedicated to the task of getting him in order.
It worked, too. Newt had run through what could have been a hundred speech variations in his head, all mentioning her character or her sense of humor or any one of the millions of things he liked about her best. In the end, he didn’t choose a single one. The second Newt pulled Y/N away from a crowd of their friends for ‘something he needed to say in private,’ every single whirlwind of thoughts storming through his head came to an abrupt stop. He totally blanked out. 
Newt wouldn’t even know that he managed to force any words out at all were it not for the fact that the effects of that interaction are quite obvious. Somehow, Y/N ended up returning his affections, and they’ve been doing pretty well ever since. Newt doesn’t like counting his eggs before they hatch and all that, but he’d go so far as to say that he doesn’t see it ever breaking down for quite some time, if ever. They’re alright. They’re great, and they’re happy, and in a place like this, you take that and run with it for as long as you can. Maybe it’ll ruin itself someday, but Newt plans on pushing that off to the distant future for forever and a day.
In the meantime, Newt gets to think about how lucky he is. Despite the fact that Y/N’s apparently been crushing on him for just as long as he started liking her, and despite the fact that Frypan proclaims on a daily basis that he’s never seen two shanks more alike, Newt still feels like all of this is just one great coincidence. Maybe it was never supposed to happen, but it did, and he’s going to love that and her for as long as he can.
She’s waiting for him now, he thinks. Work is over for the day, and there’s a Bonfire Night happening this evening too, courtesy of the shivering Greenie fresh out of the Box who still can’t seem to keep his shock from showing. The fool to whom this celebration is owed looks like he’s going to keel over, what from the way he keeps half doing a backbend from continually craning his neck up to stare at the Walls, but the rest of them can get drunk and fuck around and generally have a good time. 
Greenies never appreciate their Bonfire Nights enough anyway. It’s up to the rest of the Gladers to show them what it’s like to have fun. Who knows the next time they’ll be able to stop stressing over the ruins of their lives anyway? Newt’s heard half a dozen Gladers proclaim that they only live bonfire to bonfire anyway. They might as well prove it tonight.
Newt meets Y/N on the outskirts of the bonfire just as the dark starts to fall. Dusk kicks up its heels, keeping watch over the revels and hiding the sun, which can never bear to see whatever mistakes they’re going to make next. Y/N holds out a hand to him, one Newt gladly accepts.
“I can’t believe it’s been six months now since I first showed up,” she grins, gesturing towards the Box with her free hand, “Feels like just yesterday.”
Newt snorts. “Time flies when you’re having fun, huh? Trust me, the Greenie Days get faster and faster. I swear I just finished touring the last kid, and now we’ve got another one to keep pestering us with questions.”
Y/N shakes her head, considering this. “Nah, I think this one will be better. He’s too scared to speak above a whisper. If you try, you can just ignore him.”
Newt chuckles. “I’m not supposed to be bullying the Greenies. Alby says I’m meant to set a good example.”
“I saw Alby telling Minho to trip the new kid to see if he’d finally make a sound if he bit the dirt,” Y/N comments, “I don’t think kindness is really in our books.”
Newt arches a brow. “I could see that happening. Did it work?”
“No,” Y/N says, disappointed, “Kid was so scared to move a muscle that he didn’t fall at all. Just kind of stopped walking like he’d hit a wall instead of Minho’s ankle.”
Newt tries to bite back a smile. He’s only half successful. “Shame. That would have been fun to see.”
Y/N laughs. “That’s what I said. Anyways, they’re all over there, near the fire. I think the next strategy is to give the kid some of Gally’s brew in the hopes that it’ll coax something out of him other than his dinner.”
Newt shudders. “Best of luck to him.”
“And to me,” Y/N replies, “I think I’m going to get a glass of my own. See you in a second.”
Newt waves a casual hand in goodbye, watching as his girlfriend weaves through the steadily forming crowds of Gladers in an attempt to track down a drink. He takes a seat near an overturned log, staring into the fire as it disappears into sparks. Six months since Y/N appeared in the Box, so it’s been indeed.
Newt can’t decide whether that feels like a long time or not nearly long enough. Y/N’s changed him in almost every way, that much is obvious. Sometimes, in meeting someone you know will impact you forever, you almost want them to have been around for much longer. Strangers aren’t meant to become your best friends, not until you’ve known them for years and you have scores of memories to share. You want to give them decades in your mind, centuries, as a sign that they’ve been so important to you. Mere months aren’t enough. Surely it should be more.
It isn’t, and maybe that’s for the best. Newt has no memories save for when he came up his own share of months ago. All his friends are new, all his enemies still more recent. Maybe the girl he loves has only been in his life for a short time, but his recorded life is short indeed. Everything is modern. That’s just how it is.
Newt becomes aware of eyes on him and realizes that he might not be the only one reminiscing about when Y/N came up in the maze. A few Gladers have come up by Newt’s side, steadily appearing out of the gloom and smoke to stare at him.
Newt glances at them questioningly, and a few moments later the bravest of them dares to voice their collective thoughts. “What’s it like dating Y/N?” The boy asks, “you know, since she’s the only girl?”
Newt smiles to himself. “It’s great,” he says.
This clearly isn’t the response the other boy wants. “Yeah,” he repeats, “but what’s it like? It’s not like the rest of us have our own girlfriends to compare it with.”
Newt bites back a laugh. “Well,” he begins, noticing out of the corner of his eyes that the other boys draw closer to him expectantly, “it’s like having a best friend, but even better. She’s someone I can talk to at any time, but I don’t have to worry about seeming uncool or weird around her. Y/N knows exactly who I am, the good and the bad, but she’s chosen to be with me anyway. It makes you feel like you can do anything.”
The boy nods, accepting this. “Are you ever worried that she’s going to get tired of you and leave you for someone else?”
“If you’re asking me if I’m worried about competition,” Newt says slowly, “I’d say, don’t think you even have a chance. She’s my girlfriend, you bloody shank, not some object you can steal away. Anyway, obviously I’d like it if she stayed with me a while longer, but I’m not scared, no. I know that we’re happy, and that’s enough.”
The boy’s face flushes scarlet when Newt calls him out, but he seems to have made his peace with it at the end. Newt’s half expecting more questions, but all of a sudden they scatter to the corners of the celebration. A few moments later, the cause of the disturbance becomes obvious:  Y/N herself takes a seat next to him, glass in hand.
“It seems like you had a score of admirers,” she says, lips twitching up into a smile.
Newt groans. “More like your admirers, trust me. They wanted to ask about what it was like to date you. Not something I thought I’d be discussing with the Slicers-in-training, but why not?”
Y/N laughs. “Oh, I know. I have to say, though, it was very sweet. Being with me makes you feel like you can do anything?”
Newt feels his entire face heat up, and he briefly ponders launching himself into the fire to escape it. “I didn’t realize you were eavesdropping. That’s rude, you know.”
Y/N just grins. “I do apologize. It was very sweet, though. I appreciated it.”
Newt rolls his eyes, but he can’t keep a smile off of his face for long. “Does that mean you won’t leave me for some random boy who showed up a few months ago?”
“I’ll consider it,” she assures him, “like you said, though, I wouldn’t worry much. I happen to like being with you quite a bit as well.”
Newt reaches over, wrapping an arm around her shoulders to pull her close. Y/N leans her head on his shoulder, and they stay there for quite some time, watching the embers of the fire curl into ribbons of smoke up in the darkest reaches of the sky. The bonfire dances, their friends shout and clap and laugh all around them, and through it, they keep going. All is well.

First little crush
Tumblr media
pairing: Felix x reader
warning: just pure fluff!
authour's note: HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIXIEEEE! Y'all don't know but he was the one that brought me into kpop and Stray Kids with his deep as fuck voice. He was also my first bias before Chan stole my heart <3 So he owns a very special place in my heart <3<3<3<3
Even if Felix wouldn't want to accept it at first, he must admit that during the time in college, he somehow got feelings for you, one of his closest friends since he stepped into the classroom for the first time. It happened unintentional but here he was. But he was way too shy to ask you out, fearing that you might not feel the same and cut down your friendship at all.
Instead, Felix puts little notes on your desk in your next class during lunch when you were with your other friends, always leaving you something to come back to. Just a little writing to remind you that he likes the way your hair looks today or how nice your new earrings are. Even if you just smiled so pretty for a second, he would put it on the note.
It was not the only thing he did secretly. After watching some sappy romantic movies with Changbin, he copied some methods to show you how much he liked you, even if you didn't know who it was.
From time to time, you found flowers, your favourite ones, left outside of your dorm room, between some flowers was a note with sweet nothings, making your heart warm and fluffy. Chocolates were placed gently in your locker, a red ribbon tied securely around it. They were always your favourite and you wondered every time you got some, who sended them to you and exactly knew what kind you liked.
You would lie when you say that you knew who it was. In fact, you had absolutely NO idea who it is, not even in the slightest. There was nobody that looked at you different or seemed to have feelings for you. The idea of your secret admirer being Felix never crossed your mind. Even when you silently hoped that it was him but you weren't gonna to say that out loud. It didn't seem like he had any interest so you definitely aren't going to bring that up.
Seungmin and Yeongin teased you relentlessly, making fun of who your secret lover could be. And they were just as unknowing.
After some time, they had enough. It took them all too long for your lover to reveal his identity and they decided to find out on their own. They observed your locker like a treasure, always keeping an eye on it and they even wrangled Minho and Hyunjin into helping them finding the culprit.
They took shifts in watching your locker, observing the environment if someone looked suspicious. The only time, they left the locker alone was at night and when you all had class. These were the only opportunities for Felix to put you some treats into it in secret. He felt like a ninja on a special mission, fearing that someone could see him.
Even though Hyunjin commented that everytime they left the classroom it was always Felix who was the last one to leave. But you just laughed it off - not paying any attention to his suggestion since there was no way that he could be your Romeo.
Felix felt increasingly anxious and freaking out as he watches you and his friends attempting to work out who is leaving you all these little gifts. He even compared you to Sherlock Holmes but he must admit that Holmes was more successful. Silently, smug with himself.
But all the work was worth it as soon as he saw your eyes light up each time you received something new from him. Mindlessly, he scribbles in his notes images of you, drawing your beautiful face and that angelic smile that slowed down his whole world. They never looked good enough compared to the real version. Plus, he wasn't as talented as Hyunjin but at least you could tell who he pictured. He never showed his friends his drawings, immediatly grabbing his notes and hiding it when someone tried to sneek a glance over his shoulder.
One time, he gifted you a box and when he saw a little red ribbon in your hair the next day, he nearly lost it. He was on cloud nine - seeing you wearing something that he had gifted to you. Of course, you were doing it unknowingly but it has happened none the less.
From that moment, he decided that wants - no needs - to buy everything for you. He wanted everything you would wear to come from him. Every piece of food you eat he needed to buy.
However, Hyunjin grew even more suspicious and one day, he claimed that he would get proof of her suspicion. One thing that Felix learned while being friends with him was that as soon as he had a goal, he was going to achieve it. No matter what. And Felix knows it is just a matter of time, the clock was ticking.
So, he was left with only two options - confess or get caught red handed.
Hours were spended on the internet - searching for the right answer without success. Heck, he even watched more of the romantic movies with Changbin but he is still having trouble.
He couldn't go to Chan - his friend was even more helpless than he is with approaching his crush. So there was only one choice when he didn't want to get caught from Hyunjin. Confessing.
He held his breath as he knocked on your dorm room door, hands sweaty and shaking. A beautiful bouquet in his hands as he waited for you to open.
He had his words worked out, after hours of thinking. He had practised in front of his mirror before coming to you. Every word from his planned out confession got lost in head when he sees the door opening and you peeked outside. Nervously, he swallowed, opening his mouth to start confessing but not one sound came out, not one word.
He catched the small smirk on your face when you examined the bouquet.
"Are these for me?" The slight teasing was obvious in your voice - but not uncomfortable. However, it still made him blush harder.
Felix still couldn't find his words, in his head was only a turmoil, so, he nodded shortly and pushed the flowers towards your arms. He avoided your gaze with burying his head in his own shoulder.
You smiled and let out a small chuckle as you observed the sweet smelling flowers in your hands. You noticed that this one was much bigger than the normal ones he usually laid in front of your door - he had really outdone himself with that.
Silently, he watched you glide back into your dorm room - setting up the vase for the flowers he had just gifted you. It never left its place since you got so many bouquets over the months. In the meantime, he stood ridged in your doorway, fiddling with his fingers.
Again, your head poked out with a smile and a sweet blush on your cheeks. "Are you going to come in?" you asked and he completely froze for a moment. He definitely never thought about you accepting his mixed up and embarissing confession. But when he processed your words, he was quick to follow you with fast steps in case you changed your opinion. He had never moved faster in all his life.
Hyunjin stood with Seungmin in a dark corner of the corridor, neither Felix or you had noticed them. Only their head peaked around the corner so that they could watch the scene unfold in front of their own eyes. Seungmin's eyes had doubled, blown wide, and his jaw nearly dropped to the floor.
"No way. He was the secret lover?!" Never in one million years he would have guessed that one of his friends was the admirer. He thought that Felix would be too shy to approach you, even gifting you something never crossed his mind.
Hyunjin just smirked in triumph. "I fucking knew it" he exclaimed laughing at Seungmin's expression.
"Well, give me my well earned money. A bet is a bet!" he added and Seungmin grumpily pulled his wallet out after rolling his eyes and handed his friend the money. He will never bet against Hyunjin, that was clear.

SHAMELESS ft. Yuna
yuna x male reader smut
5k words
a follow-up to... ROMEO
Tumblr media
"You're not supposed to be here."
"I know."
"We really shouldn't be doing this."
"We shouldn't."
"We're in a stairwell! I mean anyone could walk by and—"
"So do you want me to stop, then?"
"Wait—no—it's not like I want to or anything. But you clearly do. And I feel bad that you came all this way…"
"If you're really busy, then I guess I can leave…"
"Don't you even dare, Romeo."
"Oh, so you want me to stay?" You say, having far too much fun teasing the blonde idol before you. It's a rare role reversal—Yuna's usually the one needling you, knowing exactly where to poke and prod to best get a reaction out of you. These opportunities where you have the upper hand are few and far between, and you've learnt to relish any chance you get to leave her flustered.
"Ugh, fine. Fine! You win. I miss you, okay? " Yuna admits, struggling to keep up her façade, letting herself be honest with how she really feels. "I miss you and it's been too long since I've seen you and ever since this comeback's started and Lia's banned us from being alone in the room together we haven’t been able to do anything and—"
You take her by the waist with one hand and by the neck with the other, pulling her towards you and cutting her off with a kiss. A moan slips out of her mouth as you kiss her, causing her lips to part wide enough to let in your tongue. You immediately find her own, your tongues tangling and entwining with each other. There’s no better word to describe how she tastes than sweet, giving you a fix of that addictive flavour that you’ve gone far too long without.
Yuna responds by instinct—she wraps her arms around your neck, closing the gap between your bodies, pushing so close to you that you there's no way she doesn't feel how hard she already has you, no way she doesn't notice the bulge straining through denim and poking into her waist.
She feels so good against you, her body is perfection—so tight and slender and always hot—and if she wasn't in your arms you wouldn't believe she's real. Your left hand leaves her back, daring to roam up the side of her bare midriff and finding its destination in her perfect, petite breasts.
If she’s wearing a bra it's nowhere near thick enough to hide the hardened tips of her nipples, providing you an obvious target for your wandering fingers.
You take hold of her breasts, squeezing and pinching over her sheer top, earning you a pleased sigh into your mouth.
Yuna bites your lip as you pinch her stiffened nipples again, forcing you to separate your kiss so she can whisper, "took you long enough…"
"I have been historically bad at picking up on your hints," you reply.
"You're getting better," Yuna answers, pressing her soft lips to yours once more, this time leading the kiss, letting her hands be the explorers, running over your chest and taking fistfuls of your shirt, pulling you closer to her.
Her teeth grazes your lips again, but your right hand is tangled in locks of her blonde hair, and you pull back on her head before she can bite down on you again. Yuna gasps as you force her head back, revealing her smooth, vanilla-white neck to you.
"Ah—" Yuna sighs as you place gentle kisses on the base of her throat, feeling the racing beat of her pulse against your lips, tasting every inch of her neck. "By the way… do you like my skirt? You don't think it's too short, do you?"
You pause your kisses and roll your eyes at her blatant ‘hint’. "I'm not that dumb, Yuna."
"Just playing it safe," Yuna teases. "It did take you how many years before you—ah—"
Your hand is already up her skirt before she can finish her sentence, feeling her toned thighs and making its way up that heavenly pathway towards the treasure between her legs.
The contact alone is enough to make Yuna falter, and you follow her as she stumbles backwards into the railing of the staircase behind her. She yelps as her ass is pressed flush against the cold metal, trapping herself between the bannister and you.
"I can't believe we're really going to do this here," Yuna says, but she's pulling you with her, keeping you close, giving you no indication that she wants you anywhere but between her thighs.
"What's wrong with here?" You ask, as if it's perfectly normal to have your hand up your girlfriend’s skirt in the middle of a very accessible stairwell. A stairwell that's open to almost anyone—staff, managers, other idols.
"I—" Yuna starts, but is quickly silenced by the light brush of your fingertips over her plump, pussy lips. "Fuck it."
"My thoughts exactly."
You take it slow at first, pulling her panties to the side, allowing you to carefully trace your finger over her already drenched opening—while you know you don't have much time, teasing Yuna is the one thing that can never be rushed.
You tease her entrance, letting her lips moisten themselves, letting her juices drip down your finger and into the palm of your hand, letting her desperately whisper pleas into your ear for more.
Her hands claw into the back of your neck as she feels your index finger enter her. You take your time, feeling the ripple of her walls clench and quiver around you until your finger disappears completely inside her heat.
"Yesssss," Yuna moans, as your finger pushes it's way deeper inside her. "It took years but we finally found something you're not half-bad at."
"Only half-bad?" You smirk to yourself—even now, when she's melting at just your touch, she still can't resist throwing another jab at you. "I guess I have to work a littler harder."
You slip in a second finger, stretching out her hole just that little bit wider, joining your first in fingering her with long, patient strokes.
It's only when you have Yuna whimpering in frustration that you increase your tempo, enough to cause her breathing to hitch, to make her so wet that her juices flow down from her pussy, coating your whole hand.
"Oh—oh fuck," Yuna whimpers, clenching her eyes shut and burying her face into your shoulder, laying kisses onto your neck just so she can feel that much closer to you. "How are you this good with your fingers?"
You're a model student when it comes to Yuna's tight, young body, using each time you've had sex with her as an opportunity to learn the ways to make her writhe and squirm—to have her at the mercy of your fingers and quite literally in the palm of your hand.
You curl your digits upwards, finding that rough patch at the roof of her pussy, targeting it with your fingertips. Yuna cries out as you stimulate her most sensitive spot, muffling her moans into your neck as you massage her g-spot, rubbing and pressing in just the right way, teasing out lovely, lustful moans of pleasure from her pretty mouth.
She's so turned on—she's been so turned on ever since you stole her away—and you can already feel her getting closer. You recognise the urgent grinding of her hips against your palm, the raise in pitch of her cries, but even with her breaths hurried and her voice strained, Yuna finds the strength to lift her head to say— 
"Fuck, I don't want to stop but—God I’m so close to—"
You’re purposeful with your fingerfucking—neither picking up or slowing down, keeping Yuna on that dangerous edge, prolonging her own climax for as long as you can. It only serves to make her whine more, to grow more needy and demanding of you, to make every second that you’re not fucking her unbearable.
"God! Stop teasing! Please—just—fuck—ah!"
No matter how many times you've had Yuna like this—had her delicious, tight body pressed against yours, her pussy leaking and making a mess of your fingers—it's never enough. Nothing can turn you on more than having Yuna hot and bothered—after years of suffering from all her taunting and teasing, having her beg for your cock drives you wild.
She attempts to grab at your wrist, needing you to either finger her faster, or stop entirely and fuck her like she so badly wants, but you're too single-minded in your focus to be swayed away from your current course.
"Please—please—" Yuna sighs, "we don't have much time and—"
"And?" You smile, as you fall back into this familiar dance with Yuna. Despite how many times you've had sex, despite how many times she’s come to you and even initiated—she’s still shy when it comes to asking for the one thing that could truly fulfil her carnal desires.
"I need you to… you know…"
"I don't think I do," you feign ignorance, focused on thumbing her clit and making her shiver against you. Her abs tense and shudder beneath your touch as you drag your other hand up to reach for her ludicrously small top, lifting both it and her bra off her body, giving you access to her wonderful, small breasts.
You dive in immediately, capturing a lovely, bite-size nipple into your mouth, feeling it grow stiff between your lips with arousal. It was a thrilling discovery when you realised how sensitive her nipples were—how weak she got to the slightest lick, or gentlest suckle.
Her fingers thread through your hair, holding you against the swell of her breasts. Not that it’s necessary at all—you’re more than happy to kiss and suck at her chest, to slide your tongue around her nipple, to devour her breasts as you listen to her sharp breaths and strained sighs of pleasure.
"Are you really going to make me say it?" Yuna sighs. She strokes the back of your head, too consumed with the stimulation of your tongue greedily lapping at her tiny breasts, and your teeth teasingly nipping at her stiffened nubs.
"Depends on how badly you want it," you reply, as you switch to her other breast, determined to give her other delicious, taut nipple the equal amount of attention and care it deserves.
"Fine!" Yuna shouts, so loud that it even surprises her. You lift your head from her chest to look up at her—at her face flushed bright red, overheating with pure, desperate lust. Yuna’s eyes are glassy and intense as she looks down at you, only one thought—one desire—on her mind. She bites her lip and gives in, whispering, "fuck me."
"Didn't quite catch that, Yuna," you say, making the most of another opportunity to tease her more. You straighten your posture to look her straight in her eyes.
Her wide, irresistible, pleading eyes.
"Fuck me, Romeo."
"Say it again," you say, wanting to hear the girl you love repeat your favourite combination of words in the entire history of spoken language. “Beg for it.”
Yuna seizes you by the shirt, pulling you in close enough that you can see the exact shade of eyeliner she's wearing. She demands of you—growls at you—in a low, husky voice. "Fuck me. Spin me around, flip my skirt up and fuck me with your Big. Fucking. Cock. There, I said it. Happy?"
"More than you know," you answer, and you take a step back from her. You have every intention of doing as she says—grabbing her by her impossibly slim waist and spinning her around so you can fuck her until she can't even say her own name—but you can’t help but find yourself struck, mesmerised by seeing Yuna in all her beauty.
Even now, skirt in disarray, top practically torn from her chest—she takes your breath away. She's the epitome of what an idol should look like, an angelic face on a succubus body—drop-dead gorgeous looks, perfect, long legs, wide tantalising hips, a tight, firm waist, and tits so petite and perky that they make your mouth water on sight alone.
And you were the idiot that wanted to remain friends.
"I know, I'm perfect, Romeo," Yuna states matter-of-factly, somewhat annoyed at your inability to focus.
Her fingers are already unbuttoning your pants for you, doing everything she can to remove the obstacles that stand in the way of you and her fucking. She doesn’t even bother hiding the lustful smile that spreads across her face when she fishes your cock out from the trappings of your underwear. You’re already engorged, already leaking, and all it took was just her touch. 
"But please, hurry up and fuck me."
You don't need to be told a third time—you seize her by the hips and whip her around in a single motion, pushing her forward and against the railing, and yanking her panties down her creamy thighs.
With one hand on her back you push her down, bending her over so her firm, supple ass is pointed up at you. You hold her steady with your other hand, positioning her so her entrance is lined up with the tip of your cock. You can feel how hot she is, how wet she is for you—she's dripping down onto the head of your cock, more than ready for you to take her.
You've delayed far enough—you shift your hips forward and ease yourself into her, pushing your cock inside of her unbearably tight body inch by inch.
"Yuna!" Her name slips from your lips as you sink inside her, instantly overwhelming you with the clutching warmth of her pussy.
She's just as heavenly and hot and tight as that first time—only now her pussy is quicker to submit to you, quicker to welcome your cock as it parts her clenching walls and pushes forward into the very depths of her cunt.
You thought it the first time you entered her and you still think it now—her pussy, her body—Yuna was made for you.
Made to be fucked by you.
"Thaaat's what I needed," Yuna moans as your hips push forward, a euphoric cry ripped from her lips as she feels your cock dive deep inside her. "Gah—GOD!—ah—yessssss!"
You start to move in her, thrusting your cock in and out of her with long, slow strokes. She stumbles forward and catches herself on the railing front of her, doing her best to keep herself standing as her knees start to buckle and shake, growing weak from the steady pace of your fucking.
Even though she tries to hide it, tries to hold herself back, she can't help but mewl and moan and vibrate around you, can't stop expressing how utterly enamoured she is with each entrance and exit of your cock.
With each stroke you stretch out her pussy, shaping her hot, wet, tight walls around your length, moulding her cunt in the shape of your cock. You roam your hands up and down her fit body—touching her, massaging her, fondling her, easing her into taking your cock whole.
"God—how do you still feel so big," Yuna says softly, biting down on her lip to stifle the soft grunts that escape her as her body adjusts to you.
You've barely even started fucking her, but the experience is already so divine—the way she cries out your name, the way she quivers around you, the way her walls tense and flex as you get deeper and deeper with each stroke inside her pussy, and how she grows wetter and wetter as her body takes your cock again and again and again.
"Yes… Yes… So good… Yes!"
It's with a firm, hard thrust that you finally bury your cock inside her, meeting her hips with your own, fully penetrating her idol pussy. The air rushes out of your lungs as the intoxicating feeling of having her warmth wrapped around you reverberates through your entire body, and it's only when Yuna speaks that you're snapped out from the spell cast by her pussy.
"I don't—I don't need you to take it easy on me anymore—I don't need you to make love to me right now…" Yuna sighs, urging her own ass back onto your hips. "Harder, please. I need it harder. And faster. I need to cum—now."
Her words snap you back to reality, and unlocks that raw, animalistic urge inside your mind—the one that calls you to tighten your grip on her hips, to thrust into her harder, to pick up your pace and fuck her as fast as she demanded.
You look down as you draw back from her, captivated by the sight of inch after inch of your cock leaving her pussy, your entire length glistening with Yuna's nectar, evidence of how badly she needed you to be inside her.
It's only when the very tip of your cock remains nestled between her clasping folds do you push back into her, mercilessly thrusting your hips forward, invading her pussy and filling it with your entire length in one, rough stroke.
"Mmmmmph!" Yuna purses her lips, trying to stifle the raw cry as you start to truly fuck her.
The sensation of fucking someone as tight and hot as Yuna from behind is almost too immense, to the point where it only briefly occurs to you that you may be going too fast for someone who was basically a virgin a matter of weeks ago. But that thought is instantly dismissed and drowned out by the sound of Yuna's moans building in volume, getting louder and louder with each strong thrust.
Yuna's so wet around you—her juices spill out of her and onto you, endlessly drooling from her lips and lathering your cock, making it so easy to slide in and out of her, to squeeze down into her ass cheeks and indulge yourself in the unreal pleasure emanating from her pussy.
"AH! Yes—oh my God—so fucking good—YES!"
Any illusions of fucking in silence are quickly dispelled by the echoing of Yuna's voice, making it certain that anyone, no matter what floor, would be able to hear her praise how big your cock is, how hot she found you, how good you are at fucking her.
But you're far gone now, it's too late, too hard to stop—especially now, so deep in the warmth and wetness of her pussy, so lost in the sight of her tight, perfect body as she fucks herself back onto your cock, taking you inside her over and over again.
"Yuna!" You gasp in a weak attempt to warn her of her volume.
"What, am I too loud?" Yuna hisses back. "Fuck you, this is your fault. Just keep fucking me and—ah FUCK!"
Yuna squeals, as you pick your opportunity to spank her hard, hard enough that the clap of your palm against her cheek bounces up and down the walls of the stairwell. If she didn't care about the noises she was making, then she certainly wouldn't care about you adding to it.
"Shit that's so—fuh—FUCK!" Yuna cries out again, as you bring down your palm on her other cheek.
The idea of getting caught spanking her, of marring the pristine, flawless skin of Yuna's ass moments before she has to get on stage, spurs you on. Knowing that soon she'll be performing for audiences across the world with your handprint marked red on her gorgeous cheeks makes you want to treat her even rougher, to spank her even harder.
"Don't you—FUCK—" you interrupt Yuna with another spank "—HEY! —" and another "—fine, just a couple more and that's—AH!"
You bring your hand down on her cheeks again and again, savouring the way she shudders when your palm meets her ass, the way she yelps and moans and tightens around you with each strike.
It's almost unbelievable the things you get to do with her now—the things she lets you to do her. Gone are the nights spent playing playing drinking games and watching bad movies—now the two of you have a new favourite pastime.
"Ummph—ah—I can't believe I like this so—fuh—much!"
You give Yuna a final, firm spank, satisfied that you've left your mark on her perfect ass. She shudders as you soothe the redness of her cheeks, massaging the handprint you left behind, admiring your own work of art that you’ve created on her incredible body. 
Apparently this is mistake, however, because your momentary pause leaves Yuna to push back on you once more, and fills her with enough confidence to taunt, “is that all you got?”
A wide grin spreads across your face as you take up Yuna’s challenge, returning your hands to her hips, and resuming the task at hand.
“Come on—give it to me—”
You don’t let her finish her sentence, immediately picking up where you left off. All that matters is Yuna and her pussy, squeezing you as you plough into her, driving you insane with the way she tightens and leaks all around you.
It’s the roughest you’ve ever fucked her, but Yuna is just as game as you are, matching you thrust for thrust, moan for moan. It's enough to make you throb against the her walls, to grunt at her—"fuck Yuna, take it—take my fucking cock."
"That’s it—give it to me—yes! I want you to cum inside me—I need you to cum inside me. It's been too long and I've been thinking about it for days now and I need to feel it in me so please, please, please—give it to me, now!"
You answer her with a hard thrust, slamming your hips into her with enough force that makes you mildly concerned for the structural integrity of the bannister—but it’s far too late to start caring. The whole building could collapse around the two of you and you'd still be fucking her, still be chasing the high that her wet pussy promised.
"Just like that—yes that's perfect—th-that’s—ah I just need to—"
You're so deep from this angle, fucking her with long, hard strokes and reaching depths of Yuna's incredible, tight body you aren't sure have ever been reached before, simply because Yuna hadn't been fucked hard enough.
But you're reaching them now.
"Fuck—so good—I can't hold on—cum for me—please—fuck me—FUCK ME!"
"Yuna!" You want to admonish her for her volume, but only managing to grunt out—”noise.”
"Cover my mouth, then—it's your fault I'm moaning so—mmph!"
You do just that—reaching around for her mouth, clasping your hand over her lips. Rather than quiet down, Yuna takes that as license to freely cry out in pleasure into your palm. Even though her moans are now muffled, you still recognise the same word being screamed into your hand over and over again—
"Please, please, please—"
You can feel yourself slipping—you know your time is quickly running out—the way she pulses, she tightens, she soaks around you, it all feels too good to hold on any longer.
Your fucking reaches a fevered pace, your cock wantonly pumping in and out of her slickness, each stroke faster than the last, pushing the two of you closer and closer over that wonderful edge.
Yuna tries to brace herself on the railing in front of her but it's pointless—her entire weight is held up by your hands, her whole body at your mercy to touch, to hold, to fuck—exactly how she likes it.
It's fast, it's intense, it's two bodies moving in blissful tandem, intent on giving as much pleasure as taking—and as quickly as it picked up, it soon becomes too much for Yuna to handle.
She straightens her body out, standing on her toes and giving you another new angle to fuck her—pressing her back into your body, forcing you to loosen your hand from her lips to grab onto a soft, jiggling breast, groping her chest in an effort to keep her steady.
Yuna's breathing gets faster, her eyes start to roll to the back of her head—it's not long now. She writhes in your arms, so sensitive to the way you're treating her—groping her tiny tits like that was what they were made for, spanking her ass to mark it as yours, fucking her pussy like it belonged to you.
"Give it to me—fuck me and give it to me—cum in me—fill me please—yes—I've been so good—I need it—please—"
Yuna comes apart beneath you, moaning your name in an endless sigh, making it sound like music coming from her lips. Her orgasm becomes a full-body experience—she shakes, quivers, convulses as her climax takes over her, turning her into nothing but a wave of pleasure crashing all around you.
She pushes back against you, ensuring you feel every squeeze and pulse of her cunt around you as she cums, leaving you helpless to do much else but brace yourself against her as your own orgasm is ripped from your body.
"Fuck—Yuna!" You groan out her name, your own cry joining hers as you find your release within her pussy, both your vision and your mind blurring as you're pulled into a moment of delirious high.
Yuna's whole body reacts to the first, powerful burst of thick, hot cum into her still-quivering pussy, tensing deliciously around you as she feels you fill her. Her tight, petite frame rocks with each successive load, despite her best efforts to keep her ass pressed flushed against your waist.
You dig your fingers into her hips, desperately trying to push your cock further into her, so deep that your cum starts to spill out the corners of her cunt and leak down her creamy-white thighs.
"God yes," Yuna cries out, "it feels so good—you feel so good inside me—ah yes—God I—FUCK!"
Yuna's body goes limp—her moans abruptly stop, her eyes clench shut, and her mouth freezes in a wordless, soundless scream—and you feel nothing but the glorious sensation of Yuna’s squeezing cunt.
You slam your hips into her one final time, impaling Yuna completely, letting the pleasure ripple through your body and erupt from your cock and into her needy, insatiable pussy, filling her with every last drop of cum you’ve saved for her.
It’s all too much, too intense, and you're almost worried that it will never end—that the two of you would be trapped in a world of neverending pleasure. But eventually—after several, achingly wonderful seconds—the waves of your climaxes start to subside, and you collapse over each other.
"Damn, Yuna," you groan, straining to find the words to describe just how good it feels to cum inside your girlfriend once more.
“Fuck," Yuna says back, needing her own time to catch her breath, gradually coming back to her in hard gasps.
You remain like that for a moment, still basking in the hazy afterglow of your fucking, hearing nothing but the sounds of your heartbeats and your heavy breathing, your senses filled with the smell of sweat and cum permeating through the air.
"Wow," Yuna finally manages to gasps, and giggles to herself in disbelief at what the two of you just did. "Oh my God. Wow. I feel so warm now… God, I'm so sweaty too…"
You smile at that, her back’s practically glowing under the sheen of sweat that covers her, and you can’t resist kissing the slope of her neck. You make a trail further down, landing your lips between her shoulder blades, playfully sucking at her skin. Your hands wander over her body, caressing her curves—you run your fingers up her sides, massage her worn muscles, knead into her tiny breasts—making a slight effort to extend the glow of satisfaction for just that little longer.
"Thank you," Yuna whispers, kissing into your arm as your hand wanders slightly higher up her chest. "That was just… fuck…"
"Agreed," you reply, murmuring into her skin. "You okay?"
Yuna laughs, "better than okay. Fucking amazing."
You keep kissing her back, making your way down her spine, tasting the salt of her skin. "I suppose you're going to be late?"
"I was already late when we started," Yuna says, turning back so she can look at you over her shoulder. "I'll figure something out. I'll make up some excuse and—Unnie?"
You catch the surprised look on Yuna's face and whirl your own head around to see a third person frozen still and standing right behind you. It’s a woman—looking at the two of you in complete and utter shock, gawking like she can't even comprehend what she's seeing.
It takes you a second to register her presence as well—to recognise the tall, slender, absolutely stunning girl standing before you. It’s the type of beauty that is undeniable, and whether appropriate or not, it's hard not to notice how attractive she is—from her exposed midriff, putting her abs proudly on display, to the creaminess of her thighs poking out from her short-shorts, and her long legs, rivalling even Yuna herself.
You're quick to realise who it is, and before you can stop yourself, her name is already slipping from your lips—"Tzuyu."
Tumblr media
She doesn't even recognise that you've said her name—she doesn't say anything, doesn't even move—if you didn't catch her blink, you would be convinced she's a statue.
"Uh—" you start, dumbstruck, your mind wiped blank and unable to find the right words to explain why your cock is currently impaling her junior.
"Unnie, I can explain!" Yuna suddenly interjects, and even you're curious to see what excuse she could possibly come up with to get the two of you out of this predicament. "You see—he slipped!"
You turn back to Yuna, looking at her incredulously, and mouth 'what the fuck?'
To her credit, Yuna ignores you and powers on, determined to see her explanation through. "He slipped and fell and I tried to catch him and—"
You almost slap yourself then and there—that’s the best she can come up with?
Thankfully, Tzuyu doesn't stick around to hear the rest of Yuna's word salad—choosing instead to end the entire interaction. Both you and Yuna watch in stunned silence as Tzuyu backs away slowly and turns around, leaving out the same door she came in, as if she was never even there at all.
It takes a moment for the two of you to even realise that yes, that did just happen, and no, you have no idea if this is going to be an issue.
Yuna turns back to you, a wide, sweet grin plastered across her face, as if your cock isn’t still buried inside her, and your cum isn’t leaking out her well-fucked pussy and sliding down her juicy thighs.
She giggles, and innocently asks, "do you think she bought it?"

Hi, I love LOVE you all for this blog! Thank you for doing this for the community 🥰
I wonder if you can recommend some loooong multi-chapter E-rated Human AUs of a particular flavor. I tend to like ones where there is a meeting early on, a bit of pining, plenty of spicy interludes and not tooooo much angst in the story line. Bonus points for chubby/fat Aziraphale my beloved.
My absolute faves are Under Construction and Car Trouble by @summerofspock and Petrichor and Parchment by @katnoggin.
If you can make anything of this, I'd be eternally grateful! Thank you!
Hello! We have plentiful #human au and #long fic tags, so do have a root around those for more fics that will fit the bill. Here are some with the details you've requested, most of which I don't think we've recommended before...
Lavender Apiary Of Your Honey Eyes by snek_of_eden (E)
The first thing Aziraphale registered was fiery red hair matted with sweat. The second thing was the man’s face, sharp and intelligent and a little guarded, sunlight dappling a spray of freckles. Upon seeing this, two contradictory thoughts crossed his mind: ‘Gosh, he’s pretty’, and ‘I don’t believe I’ve ever heard a man use that many expletives in the space of a minute’. “Oh,” he said, swallowing hard. “Hello, then.” __________ When Aziraphale inherits a small, cosy cottage in the countryside, he finds unexpected company in a gardener he didn't even know he had. Crowley is sweet, and strange, and about as foul-mouthed as you can get. Before he knows it, he's falling pretty goddamn hard for a man whose friendship he's terrified of risking. Ah, the foils of love.
Angel in the Window by themaybedoctor (E)
Aziraphale has the best job a young bookworm could ever hope for—he works the evening shift at an independent bookshop, just a stone's throw away from Tadfield College, where he's only a few months away from getting his degree. He likes the location in Tadfield's cosy downtown, the friendly regulars, and his coworker, Newt. But most of all, he likes having the key to the biggest treasure trove of books he's ever seen. Aziraphale knows that he's not going to make friends sitting in the dark shop at night, alone with a book and some chocolate, but that's all right. He's not lonely while he has a book, which means he's hardly lonely at all. Really. Crowley works at a record shop, and he's got the biggest crush on the cutie working at the bookshop next door. Whose name he doesn't even know, because he's too awkward to ask. At least nobody's noticed. If his co-worker Anathema found out, he'd never hear the end of it. A story about bravery, misunderstandings, acceptance, and love.
Romeo in Black Jeans by Caedmon (E)
Popular fashion designer, Crowley, meets a beautiful man at his best friend's show, and it's love at first sight. He is determined to make Aziraphale fall for him, too... if only he could get Aziraphale to stop running so hot and cold.
and now all of my garden is grown in lavender by ilikeblue (E)
Popular queer romance author, A.Z. Fell, has been lying about having a husband and a happy marriage for years. Longing to escape a string of failed relationships and looking for a fresh start, Aziraphale moves into the cottage left to him by his Great Aunt Agnes. When a TV adaptation of one of his books leads to sudden popularity and throws him into the limelight, his fans (and the press) are eager to catch a glimpse of Aziraphale's own mysterious leading man. Unfortunately, he still has to cast someone for that role. Enter the handsome gardener… Under Crowley's meticulous care the cottage's neglected garden slowly comes back to life, and Aziraphale finds himself writing the most important love story he'll ever write: his own
Argumentum a fortiori by PeturbingPrism (E)
"From the stronger argument", the Good Omens Alternate Universe barristers fic you never knew you wanted! Crowley could be a rising star at Brimstone Chambers, if he could control his temper and apply himself. Aziraphale is on the edge of losing not only his job, but his entire family over a disagreement over which organisations he has granted funds to through his beloved Miracle Foundation, the philanthropic arm of his his family's angel investment firm. Anathema tries to help her old friend out by introducing him to the only lawyer she knows who might be crazy enough to take on the might of Celeste & Sons. Two people with different ways of dealing with their issues strike up an unlikely friendship, leading to love and healing. Lots of bickering, bookshop silliness, boozing, bentley rides, shared desserts and blushing.
Divine Restorations & Repairs by skimmingthesurface, SylWritesStuff (E)
While it's unfortunate for one’s car to break down in the middle of the countryside, the pretty-as-a-postcard Tadfield could hardly be considered the worst place Anthony J. Crowley has ever been. Of course, it doesn’t help that it looks like it hasn’t yet seen the turn of the millennia, let alone this decade, but perhaps that’s just what he needs as he crawls his way out of the Hell he’s endured for the past fifteen years. Maybe the last thirty, if he's honest with himself. Though he could do without the rain. When Aziraphale Fell happens upon him and offers him shelter from the storm in his little family-run antique repair shop, neither are expecting it to change everything. The angel with his white umbrella and his tartan bowtie doesn’t expect this mysterious stranger to be able to fill the timely vacancy in his shop or the quiet of his life, but they’ve both had experience in restoring once-beloved items back to their full glory. Perhaps Crowley hasn’t fallen quite so far that he wouldn’t fit in with the rest of Aziraphale’s ragtag team of eccentric restoration experts. And perhaps they may be able to turn that talent on themselves and each other, and seal the cracks in their own hearts.

Tumblr media
Summary; Love is but a concept — just connections of neurons that take part in the brain … and yet, why is it the most painful when one falls alone?
or
Loving someone who doesn’t love you back , until you can’t no more. Maybe then they’ll actually know what they’ve lost.
Tumblr media
What is the age when we started to care less about our date of birth? When our birthday starts to feel mundane , just another day in this life on earth . To begin with, I never did make a fuss about my birthdays. The greetings of my most loved people were enough for my happiness. I never have wanted celebrations , parties, or gifts.
That was until they threw me the most meaningful birthday, I could ever hope for. There stood Max , Lando, and Daniel with the biggest of grins holding what seems to be an attempt of a birthday cake as they sang to me happy birthday — and then came their present. In the box , 4 smiling faces stared back at me, their facing were shining with unadulterated joy and peace — it reflected true happiness… it was a framed picture of us , in the McDonald’s parking lot, the day when we all first met.
I never in my life would have guessed that the three strangers who met me at my worst would still be around and care enough to celebrate my life. I could never be grateful enough for the light that these three people had shone upon me and guided me to the end of the dark tunnel.
Oh how time quickly goes by , because another year is added to my life . It’s my birthday and now I’ve learned to celebrate it with the people who love me back.

F1 Double World Champion Max Verstappen is Dating Future Red Bull Racing Team Senior Design Director Y/N L/N!
Article by : Lola Scotts
Tumblr media
In picture : Max Verstappen and Y/N L/N at a flower shop at Manchester
Max Verstappen , The 2 time world driver’s championship winner , had just officially announced his relationship with multi-business owner and Sky Sports Formula 1 photographer Y/N L/N . Both have confirmed their relations on instagram with a sweet and personal post , a few hours after a fan had leaked their attendance to a mutual friend’s concert . And was later on spotted strolling a locally owned flea market in Manchester.
The Dutch Red Bull driver and the Korean born photographer had been already close friends prior to the relationship ; often times within the company of Formula 1 drivers— Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris. The coming together of the couple was a pleasant surprise to the realm of motorsports. As fans continue to anticipate the kind of dynamic these two would bring to the paddock, specially with relation to the 1st driver of the Italian racing team Ferrari — who was linked to L/N before.
Y/N L/N has already been a paddock favorite amongst motorsport fans not only for her close knit friendship with the drivers and some of the team principals , but also for her professionalism on track. Y/N had stated in an interview before that her love of the sport had led her to the opportunity to intern for the Italian racing team, Ferrari — and was later on officially scouted by Sky Sports as one of their Senior Design Directors for their photography and videography sectors .
Moreover, the boom in popularity of Formula 1 in social media has lead teams scrambling for purchase— and the knowledge of Y/N L/N’s ending contract with Sky Sports has been their life line; as several of the racing teams have reportedly been in negotiations with L/N.
Tumblr media
In picture: Y/N L/N at New Red Bull Office in Berlin
Nevertheless, due to the high probability of Y/N’s shift from Sky Sports to exclusively work for Red Bull Racing, some argue that lack of professionalism and partiality will be at play . But, such claims are quickly shut down when Red Bull had released a statement that proves that a contract was already in process, way before the relationship of the dutch champion and the accredited photographer has been established.
Still, even with the flames and barbs of the media , Verstappen and L/N are cool as a cucumber — as the two were spotted celebrating the photographer’s birthday with friends and loved ones before the end of month long formula 1 summer break.
The next Grand Prix is fast approaching. I do not know about you, but I believe that things will be a little more exciting for Formula 1.

Here’s my design for Pirate Robot/Flint-Shot in the GunnTech Au (By @elmushterri )! I think this turned out well, and I think the design came together nicely.
Tumblr media
Story-Wise, he’s made Early S1/Late S2 as an assistant to help with running the boring parts of the lab, but gets stolen by Night Ninja. Night Ninja messes with it, accidentally uploading a collection of pirate stories into its Memory.
Flint-Shot, now a pirate, breaks free and begins searching for rare treasures. He mostly stays pretty neutral until season 3, where he teams up with the heroes and Pharaoh Boy to take down Romeo and GunnTech. He has a disdain for everything that isn’t some form of treasure hunting.
Arc-wise, I think he’d learn to accept and appreciate the mundane, and slow down a bit. Maybe he starts taking breaks and making friends, but I need to actually think it out more probably.
(Plus, the closeups!)

Weird Choice Of Words (Elsewhere and Elswhen)
The concept of an unreliable narrator is both synonymous and situational. This type or storytelling style doesn’t give you all the information, implying that the character telling you the events is biased in some way.
This is how all stories work, writers are biased in the direction of a story being interesting, so you generally won’t be shown every waking moment of the characters’ lives.
But it can be focused in on and utilised in any number of ways. Terry Pratchett lets his sense of humour bleed through in the narration of the Discworld series, for example.
But the Owl House has by far my favourite use of the technique, exhibited in Elsewhere and Elsewhen, and I can’t really go into detail in this introduction without plot spoilers, so let's just dive in, so to speak.
Let me explain.
SPOILERS AHEAD (The Owl House, Treasure Planet, Romeo And Juliet)
Tumblr media
I feel the need to clarify how this blog works. This is intended on being a companion piece to the series in question, so that you could read it as you watch. As such, I try not to spoil any future episodes too much.
If you have seen the series in its entirety, you are aware of why that makes discussion of this episode rather difficult.
Tumblr media
With that said, Phillip is such a fun character, right? He’s a parallel to Luz, he’s a manipulator type villain, but most importantly, he’s the subject of the biggest reveal of the episode.
Remember the unreliable narrator thing? Well here, the narrator is more than just unreliable, he’s an asshole.
This episode continues a running theme of giving Luz foils. The season has thus far introduced Hunter, who matches her magical outsider status and challenges her impulsivity; as well as Vee, who was a bait and switch that didn’t really mirror Luz in anything except for appearance, but who causes her to reflect on what she left behind; and now we get Phillip, who is uncomfortably similar to Luz.
First up, the human thing. In any other story, this wouldn’t be a thing to point out, but here it is. These are the only two humans in the Boiling Isles, both strangers in a strange land. This means that they both use Glyph magic to cast spells, drawing on the magic around them and using it in interesting ways. They’re problem solvers.
They also share a flaw.
Tumblr media
Hamartia is a term in tragedy that boils down to “the thing that will bring about a character’s” downfall. When ported over to a less downwards facing story structure, this becomes a heroic flaw for the character to overcome.
For example, in the greatest film ever made, Treasure Planet, Jim needs to overcome his propensity to blame himself for everything. He blames himself for his father’s disappearance and learns to stand up for himself over the course of the story. Notably, this pairs with a villain who deflects and projects like mad and who will overcome that flaw in time as well. It’s not hamartia there, it doesn’t cause his downfall.
Tumblr media
For hamartia specifically, look to Romeo and Juliet, where Romeo’s lack of multiple braincells directly causes multiple deaths including his own. Yes, it’s a love story, yes, it’s well written, but the guy had one job.
Anyway, The Owl House plays this a bit weirdly, because Luz’s greatest flaw is her hero complex. Luz is looking to be the hero of her own story, she seeks out adventure, and is easily swayed by the slight mention of destiny.
You will note that this is exactly how Phillip writes about himself. So, what’s the difference?
Tumblr media
Notably, Luz isn’t a narcissist, but more specifically, Luz gets over her flaw, Phillip doesn’t. Luz learns, Phillip doubles down into wilful ignorance and refuses to change.
This is symbolised by the use of the light spell. Luz uses it to illuminate her surroundings, Phillip uses it to illuminate himself and keep everything else in darkness.
In that way, he’s a bit of a diet Bellos, particularly in how he bring about his own destruction.
If you cast your mind back to the end of season one, part of the reason for Belos’ defeat was that he turned Lilith against himself by gloating too early. If he had kept on the charade for literally ten more seconds, Lilith would have left the room and still believing him to be benevolent, but he counted his chickens before they hatched, and ended up with geese.
Tumblr media
Anyone notice how he had no reason to distrust these two. He assumed they were making stuff because "you witches come up with the worst lies". Completely oblivious to the irony therein.
Meanwhile, Phillip could have waited until after Luz and Lilith had solved the puzzle and tricked his trap before he wrote his gloating diary entry, and they probably wouldn’t have survived. They would both have been by the door and been snatched up by the technically-not-a-dinosaur.
Which leads me back to the wilful ignorance thing, because neither Phillip or Bellos can comprehend their plan failing, partially because they both think of themselves as individually superior, but there's also the bigotry here.
Phillip uses “Witches” as a pejorative term, and this is just straight up racism on his part. Like, I don’t have to explain this, he thinks all witches are inherently inferior to humans, that’s racism.
Belos at least makes the pretence that it’s actions that lead to acquiring his ire, but Phillip is just a bigot. He’s not special.
Tumblr media
Hey, um... Phillip. That's a nice bag of Palismen you have there. Where did you... where did you get those? Also, how did Phillip find out that he had to kill Palismen to survive?
Which bleeds into his planning. He finds it easy to sacrifice people because to him, they aren’t people. They never were. And he is willing to tell them his plans before they succeed because to him, they aren’t capable of subverting him. His racism is self-sabotaging.
The most damning difference between Luz and Phillip is this. The Boiling Isles that Luz first witnesses is horrifying. She nearly gets dissected twice, she gets arrested, she meets the Zack Oyama tooth fairy, and she grows attached to its weirdness. She accepts it.
Tumblr media
The Deadwardian Era, meanwgile, is so nice and pleasant, everyone is polite, even the street thugs barely get worse than school bullies holding your lunch higher than you can reach, and yet Phillip decided it was worth damnation because it wasn’t like him.
Tumblr media
I want to briefly dwell on the subplot of this episode before I go, and that is because the scene with Eda and Dell is one of my favourites in the series.
“Stop! I’ve ruined your life. Have you even been able to carve a new Palisman since I attacked you? Stop trying to forgive me. I don’t deserve it.”
Eda is a character stuck in the past, unable to move forwards. She is trapped, that’s why making a deal with the curse gives her wings, it means she can fly, and be free.
But it does beg the question of how you move on when you can’t fix what went wrong. Dell's life was irrevocably changed by the curse and its difficult for Eda to not feel guilty about that.
Tumblr media
So, the two sit, watching the setting of the sun and discuss the past and the present. It’s a new time, and that means new family members in the form of King and Luz, but it also means new opportunities. It’s no accident that Dell gives Eda a seed, from which a new relationship can grow.
“Let the past stay in the past. It’s ok to move on.”
Dell was the one Eda hurt most, and if he’s moving on from it, maybe she can too.
Tumblr media
Hey look, Lilith has a theme with eyes and knowledge. I wonder what that's about.
Final Thoughts
I do like that Luz didn’t change history; she was a part of it. As in, she stops the burning of the diary, if she hadn’t, she never would have found it and never would have gone back in time.
Also, Dora Desplora could have been an interesting midboss for season three. I’ve got in my mind a version of the series that cuts between the characters in the human realm trying to get home, and the characters in the Boiling Isles just trying to stay alive. It would feature the coven heads in more detail, as well as the gradual wearing down of Bosha, but also camaraderie, and a moment where Flora D’splora rocks up to Hexside and threatens Puddles, only to get absolutely beaned by Viney. I think that would have been cool.
Next week, I’ll be covering Any Sport In A Storm, and the most important character arc of the entire series: Steve. Stick around if that interests you.

Sypnosis: Gojo takes you under the sea.
Tumblr media
The calming waves of the ocean greeted your sight once you stepped out the cabin of your ship, you feel the blazing winds caress the fabric of your clothes and your exposed skin. The sun's rays now gone as the glow of its golden eye's replaced with the silver shine of the moon. The water reflected its light that creates a serene glow to the ocean beneath your ship.
"I knew you'd be here."
You chirped, a smile present on your lips as you looked down the dark waters of the ocean deep. It bubbled with a figure of shining white fins and gills rising to the surface, greeting you with a smirk of its own.
The creature's figure emerged from the waters, presenting you a clear view of its snow locks and midnight claws. His eyes bore into yours with cerulean blue dancing in his eyes, such majestic creature in the waters come and meet you in the darkness with the moon's light illuminating your figures-- similar to Romeo and Juliet's story whom knocked at the balcony from the ground-- but you were on a ship in the middle of nowhere in a wide ocean with this mystery of a creature greeting you at night.
"I thought you'd never come."
You stated, leaning more into the sides of your ship to get a better view of the mermaid below.
"Why shouldn't I? You're the only one that lets me escape my world."
"You technically are still in your world, Prince Gojo."
His reply was a splash of water using his magnificent tail that spreads twice the size of his torso, some droplets hit you in the face that turned your amused face to a frown.
"I want to know more about humans."
"You wan to...? Again? I told you huma-"
"Humans are dangerous, yes. I know."
He interrupted, rolling his cerulean blues to the back of his head as if it ever did move from your point of view. His claws lightly scratched the wooden surface of your boat, whining from below about his curiosity of humans.
"Y'know, someday humans will be the cause of your demise."
"You are one and I'm still alive."
He retorted, snickering at you who gripped the wooden rails of your ship and grit your teeth. The mermaid below annoyed you at the moment, how could such majestic creature be so naive about how dangerous humans are despite the warnings and cautions you gave him.
"Come down, I want to show you things."
He invited, flapping his tail on the ocean waters like an excited dolphin and continued to do so as if convincing you to join him in the water like you can breathe in it similar to air in land.
"No."
"Why not?"
"I'll get killed, stupid."
Silence was met excluding the small splashes of water created by waves, until the mermaid whined yet again to the human above.
"No one's gonna murder you as long as I'm there!"
He persuaded.
"I can't breathe underwater."
"Oh."
You let out a chuckle at his sudden realization that humans are not fish and they can't breathe under the thick water, he let out another whine and splashes yet again erupted.
"If you're gonna splash more, my crew will know and they'll capture you, silly fish."
"But you're going to be there so what's the problem?"
"Alright, I'm going to bed. Goodnight."
"Wait!"
Waters come and shook your ship, leaving you stumbling back. His sudden reaction surprised you and panic settled in once the realization dawned upon you that your crew woke up. The mermaid frowned below, still waiting for your reply and sent another wave to rock your ship rather aggressively.
This caused you to not only stumble, but fall off the ship--unfortunate enough to slide and slip out the comfort of your home to the cold abyss of the ocean. You ended up letting out a shriek and land on the water that made a splash, engulfing you.
The mermaid was quick to hold onto your figure and drag you down deeper into the blue darkness where cute fishes were asleep and unknown glowing creatures decorate the scary ocean.
"I'll take you home and show you my treasures, Pirate."
You slammed your fist against the mermaid's back, intentionally coming contact with his gills that made him hiss and turn to you who slowly turned blue due to the lack of air. He was quick to notice and created a bubble which he put on your head for you to breathe.
"I hate you, you dumb fish."
"Don't hate me, I'm leading you to my treasure."
As soon as he mentioned treasure, your mood lightened up and your anger soon transitioned to a lighter emotion. Despite you swimming with him, his speed is far faster than yours resulting to him dragging you with his claws lightly pressing onto your sleeves.
"Can you not hurry up!?"
You complained, glaring at the white mermaid who only looked back at you.
"Don't speak much, you'll lose human water faster."
"Human water!?"
"Idiot, it's the water you breathe remember?"
"It's called 'Air' you clownfish!"
The light of the moon slowly disappeared as the mermaid dragged you down deeper to the seemingly unending journey to the deep blue. The creatures became more and more peculiar, ones you never seen in your life and probably doesn't exist in any books written in history.
Soon, he's leading you to a wrecked ship deep down with little to no light and casually grabbed a fish with a light on its head that acted as your lantern in this journey.
"I feel bad for that fish."
"Don't be, Pirate."
You rolled your eyes and continued to get dragged by your enormous fish companion, now opening the door to the wrecked ship, finding it dirty and rather empty than you expected it to be.
"I thought you were going to show me your treasures, Gojo."
"I am! This place is full of gold and human things!"
The mermaid let go of you for a moment and swam excitedly like a seal. His canine teeth showed as he grinned and made a tour as if it were his abode.
"And this is- a hairbrush!"
"That's a fork."
He swam in an excited manner, showing you basic everyday things that fell to the ocean and is found by him-- even plastic which he calls 'death chokers' are present in his collection.
"Look, I appreciate you showing off your collectibles of normal human things but, where's your treasure?"
He blinked, cocking his head to the side.
"Oh! Right this way!"
He swam to the opening of the cabin, quickly grabbing the shiny things randomly scattered in a record speed. You were left in an idle state, waiting for him to come back with the treasures he promised back at the surface.
"Those are shells, Gojo."
His lips form a pout, visibly upset by your reply. His hands grasp your waist in a manner so delicate and gentle before he speeds towards the surface of the ocean blue. You didn't notice the decreasing size of the air bubble he created a few minutes earlier.
"You weren't happy to get shells?"
His eyes that reflected his home glossed, almost as if he's about to cry when you didn't appreciate the treasures he saw that's for you, aren't as valuable as gold.
"...tsk..give me the shell."
You roll your eyes, palm open to receive the pale shell that in turn made his composure bright and happy, almost like a dog getting ready to play fetch. His fin wagged beneath the surface, creating bubbles and splashes while he buried his face in the crook of your neck- almost wiggling himself to you.
"You're so clingy, Gojo!"
You whine, cautious about the gills that creeps up from his neck to his jaw that feels slippery to the touch but is somehow sharp. You knew it was sensitive to touch and you hope you didn't send some kind of electric shock- pleasant or not- to him.
"Please keep the shell, Pirate! Keep!"
He insisted, still not creating distance between the both of you.
"I'd kill you one day, you're aware right?"
"I know you can but you won't!"
A cheeky grin appears, revealing his canines. You weren't informed mermaids have canines, fishes mostly don't have teeth visible in their mouth. Carefully, you pinch the cheeks that's similar to human skin, resulting a small whine from him and a chuckle to erupt from you.
"Whatever you believe, Gojo."
You sold him 3 days later.

Some of my Carlo’s HCs
This is just a HC I wanted to share regarding Carlo and his interests. The idea came to me as I was playing and wearing the Workshop Master’s Workwear and realizing that maybe that is just how Geppetto always dreamt of seeing his son. And then the thought that Carlo probably dreamt for the same as a child hit me as train.
(This is basically just me rambling about how Carlo initially wanted to be a Workshop technician, and why he never confessed his feelings for Romeo.)
Being Geppetto’s son, I believe he was born with a huge curiosity, creativity and imagination. I clearly see him tinkering with every toy, radio and device in his house. Pulling them apart just to see how they worked and then putting them back together as they were or even creating new things in the process. BUUUT (and a big but) he was also interested in the stalker’s life.
He loved stories about their achievements, their great deals and how they saved others or hunted for treasure.
And I fully think that Carlo had all the potential to be an overachiever child. If life had been different for him, he would have pursued both careers. Living as a Stalker but using everything he learned as a Workshop Technician to create gadgets, weapons, equipment, anything really, to help in his line of work.
But we all know that wasn’t how the story ended, right? And that was mainly because of his old man.
I would say that when still living with Geppetto , his father used to praise him and encourage him whenever he created something or tinkered with any stuff around the house.
But even this “support” and “praise” he offered his only son was half-hearted because the famous craftsman was obsessed with puppets. And even if Geppetto himself worked in any other invention or craft, it would revolve around puppets one way or another.
And being the self-centered person that he was, he very much expected for Carlo to follow his exact footsteps. So yes, he was proud of his aptitude for craftsmanship, but he would always threw comments like: “What if you created your own puppet, son?” Or “Maybe if you modify this here, we could give a boost to puppet’s strength”.
And when Carlo stood his ground stating that his invention’s purpose was something completely different or that he was not interested in anything related to puppets, Geppetto would just be dismissive, losing all of his interest in his son’s projects and just throwing him empty compliments so he could back to his own work after that.
And this of course strained the father-son relationship even more and made the young child to come to hate puppets, since they were not only keeping his father from him, but now he also wanted to force them upon his life. And we have been told how stubborn the boy was, so I can clearly imagine him creating more things non-puppets related , or pretending he was a stalker and had completely ditched the idea to go the workshop technician route just to spite Geppetto.
Because, even if deep inside of him he craved for his dear father love and approval, there were some things for which he was not willing to back down, like his interests and passions. (But without realizing he would let his father to have some small wins like his hair style and what he was allowed to wear for example, which didn’t bother him that much and it gave him the move needed approval he was looking for).
So at this point and despite the differences in opinions and the constant bickering between the two because of Carlo’s projects, he was still on his way to become a technician-stalker but it all changed for good once Geppetto abandoned him in the Monad Charity House.
For the first few nights, in which Carlo must have been completely hopeless and heartbroken, I’m sure he considered just doing everything he could to make his father happy. Maybe if he used his talents to work on puppets, maybe if he promised to became a technician specialized in puppets, his father would take him back… spend time with him… tell him that he loved him.
But before he could completely give into this this idea he was introduced to Romeo, a boy who shared his same interests in the Stalker’s life. And for once, Carlo felt that he was not alone anymore and that his dreams were valid. There was someone else who shared his passion, and who didn’t try to change his focus. Romeo just accepted him and his ideas and plans as they were. He sometimes offered his own point of view, but he was never dismissive and he always considered what Carlo created or came up with.
So during these days Carlo’s interest in the stalkers path grew bigger and bigger. And the relationship the boy had with his father strained even more. I can imagine the old man visiting his son sporadically or taking him out of the Rose State to take him to social gatherings and special events (because of course he would be the kind of father that brags about having the perfect child even if he doesn’t even know what or how exactly that child is doing). And in those few encounters they had, Geppetto surely would throw comments expressing how he could not wait for his son to graduate and become a technician so they could work together, and this finally broke the final straw in Carlo.
His father didn’t care for his own interests. Now he was sure that it didn’t matter if he changed his focus completely to please the technician master, Giuseppe would never take him back home because he was completely focused on his own work. He just wanted to avoid parenting by so he would have more time for his puppets. It would be ideal of him if his only son became a technician as well so he could brag about how much he was like him.
And now with these feelings in his heart, Carlo would do everything in his power to go in the complete opposite direction of his progenitor’s wishes, even if that meant denying a part of himself he knew he was, and he knew he loved as much as his dreams of being a stalker.
Romeo noticed the very exact moment when this decision was taken as Carlo came back to the charity house and threw all of his prototypes and creations into the trash. And even if he tried to pretend it was only so he could focus completely on becoming the best stalker in the world, Romeo saw right through him and tried to convince him not completely ignore that passion of him, but Carlo refused. And even if he always died inside to tinker with stuff he found or to bring to life an idea he had, he forced himself to forget about it, which pained him, but at that point he just wanted to have zero common ground with his old man. (Not really, tho as he still wished things could change between them, after all he was still just a child looking for his father’s love.)
And as part of this long HC I can also add that Carlo had really strong feelings for Romeo. He kinda noticed Romeo had feelings for him too, but he didn’t acted on these feelings.
Why?
Two reasons mainly.
The first one: when he was younger, he was afraid of what his father could say about it. Geppetto had voiced time and again how he was supposed to marry a high class lady, since they were part of the high society too, and give him wonderful grandchildren.
Carlo couldn’t care less for girls at that age but it was an idea engrained so deep into his mind that he felt his father would distance himself even more from him or abandon him completely if he knew he was in love with a boy, who happened to be an orphan with no social status whatsoever. So he just pretended the feelings were not there.
But the feelings were there and they grew stronger as the spent more days together. And with time (and all the fights he had with Giuseppe) he decided that he didn’t give a damn about what others or his own father would say about him having a relationship with whoever he wanted.
But his graduation was coming closer and he needed to focus on finishing his studies. After all he needed to become the best stalker in the world so he could forge his own path and ensure that him and Romeo would not have to deal with the Stalkers faction’s bullshit going around. So he would wait after graduation to confess.
And here is where reason number 2 comes in.
Graduation drew nearer and he was all grown up now. And even if he had such a horrible relationship with his father, Carlo was still desperately looking for his approval. He wished they could somehow patch things up. He desired that Geppetto finally saw him for whom he was now, and not for who he expected him to be. Then maybe he could go back to creating and fixing stuff again, then maybe his old man would see it was worth spending time with him.
So when the date came closer, they asked Carlo what he wished his necklace to be engraved with, to which he decided to leave it blank. His first thought was to give it to Romeo, but he also wanted to give it to his father, as a token of a new start for them. He almost had it engraved with a message for the famed workshop technician but something inside of him was telling him the man would disappoint him again.
So he would left it to fate. His heart harbored hope until the very last moment, but his fears became true as Geppetto didn’t show up. This enraged Carlo to new levels, and in a fit of rage he quickly engrave the necklace himself with the famous. “To Romeo, Your friend C. Thinking that when his father found out about this, he would feel jealous and miserable for having been denied such a precious memento.
He then proceeded to give the necklace to Romeo, who was over the moon with the precious memento. He was happier than Carlo had ever seen him. And in that moment it dawned on him, that even if he had initially thought of giving the necklace to his dear friend and love interest, he had actually given it to him because he wanted to hurt his father.
And that pained him. Romeo didn’t deserve that. He thought he didn’t deserve being with someone with so much daddy issues, someone who constantly put up messing up with his father as a priority, instead of making the guy he was in love with and that made him so happy, happy as well.
So he decided to hold onto his feelings a little longer.
He promised himself that he would become more than a legendary stalker, and once he did, he and Romeo would flee Krat. They would go somewhere where he was not the son the son of Geppetto, master technician; where there were no more puppets, no social classes, no anything. Somewhere where he could forget about this burdens, somewhere where he could love his friend and live together with him, the adventures they dreamt as kids. Somewhere where maybe, he could allowed himself to be that creative child that he once was and that he craved to be.
Once he did, he would be ready to offer Romeo what he deserved. And so he made that goal his new purpose in life.
But we all know how this story ends. With a tragedy. Both taken by the petrification diseased, but both being given a second chance by that which Carlo hated so much, puppets.
And while P will never be Carlo, I believe that besides his personality he inherited some of his “feelings”. Like how he was so keen on getting Geppetto’s love and approval, or how he reacted when Romeo’s ergo called him Carlo, (or even how he proved the boy inside his P-organ wrong when he could feel his ergo feeling awashed by sadness when Geppetto died, when Carlo had tried to convince himself he couldn’t care if his father died.)
And if I might add, I think P, would spend a lot of time with Eugenie and Venigni after the alchemist’s defeat , learning everything he could from them as inventors and craftspeople, because this as well, is part of Carlo’s personality shining through and finally being able to do through a proxy what he denied himself for so long during his first life.
Well that was long but it’s finally out of my system. Thanks for reading till the end! (Also, sorry for any mistake, English is not my first language :p)
