#oc: reba (she/her)

[aincretop]

reba and blair eventually go to therapy and repair their relationship. this is them 5 years after their main storyline :3

reba has a stable living situation by then so she dresses more normal. except for the cap with a bloodstain. no one knows why she still wears that. she also grows out her hair because she doesnt have to worry about anyone pulling it in a fight anymore. blair just gets a bit fatter and stops covering up xer scars (one of them is from when reba shot xem) (you see why they both had to go to therapy now)

come fly with me (let's fly, let's fly away) by GatheringBlue — (TGM x 9-1-1 Crossover)

It's a common misconception that Buck trained to be a Navy SEAL. For as long as he could remember, flying had been his dream. Most little kids wanted to be a firefighter or an astronaut, but Buck had always wanted to be a pilot. He wanted to fly far, far away from home, where his parents’ comments that might as well have been slaps for how badly they stung couldn’t get to him. Flying was his way out. His escape. If he was thousands of feet up in the sky, way up with the clouds, then his parents couldn’t touch him. No one could. When Buck got pulled from the reserves just after the lawsuit, it seemed like perfect timing. There was nothing left for him in LA. Not anymore. So, it looked like Buck was heading back to Top Gun.

Like we're right back at the start (Jake Lockley X Reader)

A/n: I felt it was unfair that both the other Moonboys and Layla get a Holiday fic from my series but Jake didn’t so here’s something For Him. Featuring everyone’s Favorite Cat OC Viejita! (Courtesy to @guruan for the art and the cat) It’s undeniably real will return in the new-year!

Words: 848

She sat on the bed in the flat she shared with Jake, Marc and Steven. She looks across the cluttered apartment. It was home, they had recently decorated the place for the holidays, they had celebrated Hanukah at the beginning of the month, and now it was Christmas Eve, she was really hoping for a Christmas miracle, to have her boy’s back for Christmas. The string lights carefully hung on bookshelves made the small flat feel just that much more cheery. She was waiting for one of her boy’s to walk through the door after a mission, they’d been away for a couple days. she looks at the small pile of presents in the corner. Just as she was about to get up A small dark Hairless cat jumped into her lap.

“Viejita! What is it mi pequeña reina? Hm? You need some Mami cuddles huh?” She looks at the cat giving a her a rub on her head. The cat looks at her lovingly. She was wearing an adorable jumper, blue with snowflakes, keeping her hairless body warm in these colder days.

“Merw!” Viejita head butts her hand as she starts to purr.

“I know, I know. It’s so hard being a kitty. All the love and attention you get, Its just too much.” She coos at the kitten who meows back in turn. They sit like this for a while before the door opens as a familiar face with a Page boy cap comes in.

“Ah, look it’s mis bellas damas…Papi’s home!” Jake laughs as he walks over to them, giving Viejita a scritch on the head and a kiss for his girlfriend. “Hola Mami…looking good…” He murmurs flirtatiously.

“Mmm…you too Papi…” She looks into his eyes, she reaches up to his face, running her thumb along his cheek. “Merry Christmas eve baby.”

“Oh yeah, that’s today isn’t it? I got home just in time.” Jake grins. Viejita Starts Meowing at Jake. He had gotten distracted by his lover, and had stopped petting her, a criminal offence. “Oh I’m so sorry your highness, please forgive me for the error in my ways.” Jake says with a laugh before picking up Viejita and holding her to his chest.

“I think she missed her Papi, like I did.” She stands up next to him and kisses his cheek. “I gotta get Dinner started okay?”

“Okay Mami, Te amo.” Jake smiles at her and as she walks by he reaches to grab her hip, squeezing her softly.

~

After dinner, Shes standing at the window, watching as the snow falls. She can hear the small snores of the cat on the bed behind her and the water running as Jake does the dishes. She leans on the wall, she swears the whole world seems brighter at this time of year, even though its darker and colder. Her ears prick up as she hears the water shut off, a moment later and she feels Jake’s strong arms wrapped around her, his face nuzzled in her neck, he places a soft kiss there as his hands caresses her sides. He had Changed out of his normal Button up and Slacks for some comfortable dark sweatpants and a Jumper that matched Viejita's, A dark blue with Snowflakes, A Hanukah present from a few weeks ago.

“I’m glad you made it home in time for Christmas. I know you don’t really celebrate…” She leans into his embrace.

“Hermosa, It’s important to you, so it’s important to me. Maldito pájaro estúpido, I’ll be here for you when you need me.” Jake’s voice in her ear is soft and comforting, Words that almost no one else would use to describe him. They stand together enjoying the moment. Watching the snow fall. Jake makes a sound as he remembers something, and he pulls away for a moment

“espera aquí.” He mutters before grabbing something out of his jacket. She looks over her shoulder as she watches him come back over to her a small silver box in hand. “I didn’t exactly…know what to get you, the others they got you stuff and wrapped it up all nice, but…I just remembered when we were gone and…Well you keep singing all those songs and I…Just open it.” Jake tries, but he’s not a man of many words, she smiles as she turns to take the box from him and opens it up to find a bundle of Mistletoe.

“Jake…its perfect.” She smiles as she looks at the small bundle of leaves, it was an unusually sweet thing for Jake to do. He takes the bundle and holds it over their heads.

“Mistletoe kisses eh?” He smirks at her, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. Now this, this was very on brand for him. She laughs as she wraps her arms around his neck, closing the distance between them to kiss him. Her soft lips moving against his as he snakes his free hand around her waist. He hums softly into the kiss. This was what he needed to find.

I needed Christmas to find my way back here to you

Handful of OCs related to Messmer which I developed with @purpupa ^^

Rosella is a doll crafted in the LoS to be Messmer’s eternal servant, as all other able-bodied men and women in his ranks are needed as soldiers. She was created without a soul, but Messmer has imbued within her a flame that has granted her a semblance of one.

Ismay and Murdoch are two of the three Fire Knights born within the LoS (the third being Queelign). Messmer helped raised them, and has stationed them in the Storehouse to keep them close and safe. Due to being born in the death realm, they each have a close association with an aspect of Death: Ismay with spirits, and Murdoch with water.

Reba is a depraved perfumer that took a keen interest in base serpent Messmer. She willingly became the serpent’s thrall and accepted his venom to study its corruptive effects. In doing so, her biology has been heavily altered: she has become hermaphroditic, grown a pair of shadowy arms, and gained the black scales and tail of a rattlesnake.

[green-planets]

New OC drop! Here are Ethyl's girlfriends, Amaretto the Bar Car and Reba(r) the Bulkhead Flatcar!

Amaretto only serves really bad, overpriced cocktails. She will try to fist-fight customers who don't leave her tips. She low-key wishes she was a boxcar so she could join her girlfriends on long hauls. She has a twin sister named Maraschino who was also a bar car but got converted into an ice cream parlor car

Rebar was Ethyl's favorite frieght truck even before they started dating. She almost got scrapped after a major accident but Ethyl fought tooth and nail to have her repaired. Cabeese kind of freak her out (at least the ones she's met). Amaretto exclusively calls her Reba

Rumor Has It

Title: Rumor Has It

Summary: Haley can't believe that Aaron's dating someone, let alone dating her for six months. She wants to know why she hasn't met her yet, and confronts him, but what happens when she finds out something she wasn't expecting?

Characters: Aaron Hotchner, Haley Hotchner, (Ex-wife), OC female character. Jack Hotchner.

Pairing: Aaron Hotchner x OC female character

Word count: 1,729

Authors note: So, this is another song fic. I heard this song and couldn't help but think of what would have happened if Aaron had dated someone else and Haley found out that he loved this new girlfriend of his. This is from the prospective of the new girlfriend and then Haley's at the end. I have no beta, so all spelling and grammar mistakes are mine, and I don't own Criminal minds or the lyrics to the Reba song at the end. Let me know what you think. Enjoy!

Warnings: None, mentions of cheating. *I know we technically don't know if Haley cheated on Aaron, but for this story, that's what I'm suggesting.

I'd been seeing Aaron for a few weeks now. He was funny and gorgeous, and once you got past the often cold expressions he wore, he had such a reserve of warmth under it. We'd met at a parent's night, my niece attending the same school as his son, Jack. I'd given him my number and gone on my way, and when he called, we started dating. 

I knew he'd been married before, he'd been very upfront about it. His ex-wife, Haley, was active with Jack, although I hadn't met her yet. Aaron said the time wasn't right, and we enjoyed each other's company when he wasn't gone on cases. 

I knew he was working late one night and went to drop by with dinner for him, Morgan being kind enough to let me in. I slowly approached Aaron's office, stopping only when I heard his voice and another one. I knew it had to be Haley's, simply by the frustrated tone in Aaron's voice. 

The office was mostly empty, and so no one noticed me as I heard Aaron and Haley speaking to each other. He was frustrated and she seemed upset almost. It was Haley's voice I heard first. "Why won't you let me meet her, Aaron? She's met Jack, she should meet me." 

I hear Aaron sigh, and I know he's making that face. His voice is tight, clipped. "Because it's not time, Haley. And it's none of your business anyway." He adds although I heard the quiet sound of frustration that leaves him when Haley says, "But it is, Aaron. She's around our son. I need to make sure she's a good person." 

Aaron's voice is sharp. "Do you have a problem with my judgment, Haley?" There's this silence between them, and I hear Haley say. "You know I don't, Aaron." Then his voice again, frustrated, angry almost. "You do if you're questioning Alice's character. She's wonderful, and she and Jack get along well. It's just not the right time for you two to meet." 

Haley's voice grows frustrated at that, "Oh, forgive me for questioning Alice's character." There is a sarcastic note to her tone, and I hear Aaron set down a file, I know he's angry now, I can hear it in his voice. "She's a good woman, Haley. She's kind and smart and she and Jack get along. Why are you pressing the issue? What's the real reason you want to meet her?" 

There's a silence, and Haley says, "No reason. I just thought it was time. How long have you been dating, Aaron, or is too hard to remember?" I hear the dig at him, knowing Haley hated the nights he was gone, the anniversaries he missed because of work, the old hurts from their divorce taking over the conversation again as they both aired old hurts and arguments. 

Aaron's voice is sharp as he says, "If you must know, Haley, we've been seeing each other for almost 6 months now." I can hear the surprise in Haley's tone, and if I could see her face, I imagine I'd see it on her face. "You've been seeing this woman for six months and don't think it's time for me to meet her?" I hear Aaron's angry tone, "No, I don't. And it's none of your business why, so don't ask." 

But she asks, and they go around and around again in more pointless arguing. I'm about to step away when I hear Haley say, a chuckle in her tone, her voice angry. "The only reason you'd be defending her like this is if you loved her, Aaron." There is this silence, and outside his office, my heart skips a beat. Aaron and I hadn't said those words to each other yet. 

I'd felt them, sure, but hadn't been brave enough to tell him how my heart skipped a beat every time I saw him, or how I enjoyed our movie nights with Jack. But it was there, in the texts I sent when he was gone on cases, in how I attended all of Jack's soccer games, his plays everything. I tune back in to hear Haley's shocked voice, surprise laced through her tone. "You can't possibly love her Aaron. No, it's not true." 

Aaron's silence speaks volumes. I know the expression he has on his face, and he says, in a tone that clearly says he does love me, "It's none of your business, Haley, so drop it. You said you left Jack with Garcia, and I'm gonna go fetch him." His tone is brisk, and cold as he speaks to hear. 

Haley's voice rings out with surprise and hurt as she says, "You do. You love her, already? How? Why?" Aaron doesn't answer her, except to tell her that it's none of her business who he loves anymore. "We're divorced, Haley. You've moved on, and now it's my turn. Let me be happy." 

I hear Haley's angry laugh. "Happy is one thing, Aaron, loving another woman a year after our divorce is another thing entirely." This is when I hear Aaron get angrier, if possible. "Did you think I'd sit and pine over you forever, Haley?" There's a silence that follows his question and I hear him scoff. "Fine, since you wanna know the truth, let me tell you the truth, Haley." 

I freeze, and my mind tells me to leave, to go away, that I shouldn't be standing here listening to this in the first place but I can't move my feet. Aaron's voice is sharp, frustrated, "Yes, I love her Haley. Alice makes me feel important. She listens to me and brings me dinner when I work late. She's kind and special and I'm grateful she's in my life." 

I hear some kind of noise leave Haley but Aaron continues, "She doesn't toy with my emotions and most of all," I hear Aaron's voice drop here, and something tells me this is a low blow, especially by the way Haley's breath catches. "She doesn't cheat on me, Haley." 

Silence reigns. Aaron never told me how it ended, but hearing that leave his lips made my heart break for him. It explained so many things, the way he'd always check in on me, the way he always tugged me closer when other men checked me out while we were on dates. He was afraid I'd do to him what Haley had done. 

Aaron speaks again, and his tone is no less angry or cold. "I love her, Haley. I love Alice, and I'd like to tell her before she meets you." Haley is silent, and when she speaks, I hear the anger in her tone. "First of all, Aaron, I could care less if you love her." Aaron scoffs, "You do if you're here asking me about it." 

There's more silence, and Haley's voice is angry. "Fine. Jack is with Garcia. I don't care about your little girlfriend, Aaron. This relationship of yours won't last long anyway, once Alice learns how little time you have for her." I hear her footsteps get closer to the door and I barely manage to hide as she leaves, going to get Jack for Aaron. 

I give him a few seconds to calm down before I walk over to his door, knocking softly. "Hey, Aaron, got a second for me?" I push it open, watching as he smiles softly at me. "For you? Always," He says, and I set the plate down and act like I didn't just hear him tell his ex-wife that he loved me. 

He thanks me for dinner and then pulls me into a hug, holding me against him. I don't question him, I just let him hold me. For several long seconds, we're both silent. "What's wrong?" I ask, deciding to see how much he'll tell me. I hear him sigh and feel how he tugs me closer, almost as if he's debating that very question in his mind. 

I expect him to brush me off, so it surprises me when he tells me what's wrong, his voice soft as he sort of explains his argument with Haley, leaving out the part where he mentions he loves me. I offer up what little advice I can think of, but mostly just let him ramble as he holds me. 

He pulls back to look down at me, his expression soft as he tucks a dark curl behind my ear. The words leave him so effortlessly, they still hit me with the same shock value as they had outside his door. "I love you," He whispers to me and my breath catches a moment, my soft eyes staring up at him, my heart beating wildly in my chest. 

"I love you too," I whisper, holding his gaze, searching his eyes, and finding the truth reflected as he looked at me. He leans in and kisses me, his lips soft and sweet against mine, as I melt in his arms, only parting from me as Jack runs in, his voice excited as he spots me. I hug him, not realizing Haley is outside the door. 

Outside Aaron's office, Haley watches with an ache in her heart as Aaron greets Alice when she walks in. She's pretty, she has to admit, with her honey-colored eyes and dark hair. She watches him hug her, and then he tells her. He tells her he loves her. She watches Alice's breath catch, as the two stare up at each other with love in their eyes before he kisses her. 

But it's the way he does it, cupping her face in his hands, holding her as if she's the most precious thing in the world to him, that breaks her heart, pieces shattering on the ground like a broken vase, sending Jack in to greet Aaron through the film of tears that form over her face. She watches Jack greet Alice, but can't do anything but feel her heartbreak. She thought Aaron would love her forever. But watching him profess his love to another woman makes her ache in a way she hadn't expected to feel a year out of their divorce. 

"Oh, Rumor has it. She has you. Rumor has it, you love her too. Oh, talk is cheap but the price is high when it's true. Oh, rumor has it, she has you."

Live{4}

pairing; Niall Horan x black!OC/reader (reader has a name, but read in second person)

summary: after a silly little comment on Niall's live, who would've thought it bring you...well here....

a/n: Listen

media.tenor.com

You looked at Niall who was just staring at you silently. He got up from his seat and walked out of the room.

You and Niall- well lets say you werent even sure what that was. His attempt at gaining you back seemed to be on and off. He would send you small bouquets of flowers everyday for the week leading up to when you saw him next, but would never talk to you outside of zoom calls. 

You knew he would be busy with other artists and the new album, but you still werent sure how to feel. 

You were going Jerome who you had grown close with over rehearsals and zoom calls now that you were on Team Niall. You were the closest to Ryley-Tate as you two were the youngest on the team and gravitated towards each other.

You walked in with Jerome next to you and you stopped moving as you saw who was sitting next to Niall. “Look at Maia, she nearly died.” you laughed at Nialls words behind your hand as you started to walk again. 

You switched places with Jerome when he was done and you hugged him as he sounded incredible. “Have you gotten over the fact that this lady is here yet?” Niall teased and you rubbed your eye with your middle finger and he laughed. “No I'm not, thank you for reminding me.”

“I'll be singing ‘Skinny love��� by Birdy.” you told them and you watched Reba ‘wow’. 

For me, this song holds a deep meaning in my heart. I went through a heartbreak that I wished I could just go back and time and hold onto a little longer. Sorry, i don't wanna cry.” you laughed looking up.

When you finished your first run through it was silent and you hid your face behind your hands. “Oh no.” you whispered but the mic picked it up. “Oh my gosh.” Reba whispered as to not break the atmosphere in the room. “I have never received a song in such a powerful way than I have just now.” you looked at her with wide eyes and she laughed.

“There isn’t anything I can say to that.” she added on. You looked at Niall who was just staring at you silently. He got up from his seat and walked out of the room. You all looked around before he came back in with a box of tissues and you all laughed.

“You can’t do that to me.” you scolded as he came back to his seat. “I-” he paused looking for something to say. “There is nothing I can say to that.” you pouted softly at his words. “Now that is the definition of speechless.”

``````````

“Go maia!” you heard Riley scream from the playoff balcony. You shook your head softly with a smile and looked up to see Niall with a small smile at the interaction.

“Now singing Skinny Love, here's Maia Quinn.”

Eyes now closed you sang with your heart,

Come on, skinny love, just last the year

“M, im telling you im gonna be there when you release your EP i promise”

Pour a little salt, we were never here

“No A, he hasnt responded in months… im not waiting any longer”

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer Tell my love to wreck it all Cut out all the ropes and let me fall

“I know you wish he was here.”

“But hes not.”

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Right at the moment, this order's tall

“M, please, i know it's been a year since the live but you can’t sit in your room all day”

And I told you to be patient And I told you to be fine And I told you to be balanced And I told you to be kind And in the morning, I'll be with you But it will be a different kind 'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets And you'll be owning all the fines Who will love you?

“Maia, you know you love him. So why are you with me?”

Who will fight?

“I know what he did Atticus, trust im the last person you need to remind;  but i'm still going to support his music.”

And who will fall far behind?

“He’s moved on, now its your turn.”

Come on skinny love Oh,oh

As you vocalised you closed your eyes finally let out everything you had been feeling and turned it into vocal power, giving yourself chills

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

As you faded off the last riff you quickly wiped the fallen tear as the lights went dark, before they all turned back on and you heard the audience cheer as Jerome came up to you and gave you a hug.

“I think you both gave amazing performances,” Chance started. “To me Maia kinda edged it out because I could tell you felt that song. If I had to advise my homie Niall, I'd say Maia.” you thanked him as you looked at Niall who still had his head in his hands. 

“I loved both performances, but damn Maia, you brought tears to my eyes. I am feeling the sting of letting you go.” you laughed and thanked her as Blake spoke up next. “The difference for me I think is Jerome, for me it felt like you were putting together versus Maia came right out singing this song like she wrote it, so for that I'd lean towards Maia.”

“Alright Niall before you tell us who the winner is let's hear some thoughts.” Carson led on.

When everyone looked at Niall, he had his hand tight rubbing over his mouth, with red glistening eyes. “Niall are you crying?” Kelly gasped looking over Chance. You watched him laugh before taking a shaky deep breath. “These decisions that I have to make every time never get easier. Jerome, I really thought you put everything into it. You did get pitchy in the first verse, which is usually where you're very strong, and I think that knocked your confidence. But you are an incredible singer no doubt about it.” you clapped for him and rubbed his arm comfortingly.

“Maia, that was unbelievable. In rehearsals, you didn't tell us why you chose the song, but you didn't need to. This performance had your soul in it.”

“Alright Niall, who is the winner of this knockout?”

He took a deep breath before looking up, “the winner of this knockout is Maia.”

You looked down softly before turning and hugging Jerome. You walked down the steps and hugged Niall. This hug was different. You had never hugged anybody like this before. “I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.” Niall whispered as you felt tears wet the top of your head. You let go of him and dragged your thumbs across his cheeks to wipe the tears before walking away waving to Kelly who waved at you.

The night the episode came out Niall was sitting in his bed after watching the episode. He had cried all over again after hearing your ‘monologue’ clips.  He heard his phone buzz against his chest and looked at the notification. It was from Lewis and he was in a different time zone and should've been asleep.

You really fucked up

And didnt he know it

vice principals x hannibal character legend for my au

yes i took two days to figure this out. two days of my life. for this.

lee russell -> dr hannibal lecter

neal gamby -> will graham

janelle gamby -> abigail hobbs

gale liptrapp -> garret jacob hobbs (by default. sorry.)

belinda brown -> jack crawford

amanda snodgrass -> dr alana bloom

nash -> beverly katz

dayshawn -> brian zeller

milner -> jimmy price

(i put both of them on the bau team so they could make butt buddy jokes. thank you.)

octavia leblanc -> freddie lounds

christine russell -> dr bedelia du maurier

dascious brown -> phyllis 'bella' crawford

janice swift -> miriam lass

martin seychelles -> dr frederick chilton

jen abbott -> matthew brown

bill hayden -> dr abel gideon

jeremy haas -> kade prurnell

welles -> renaldo pazzi

**this is the most hear me part out of this list**

ray liptrapp -> molly graham (LISTEN. not romantic. maybe platonic. idk either. but they become friends s2e8 and i think that’s reason enough. sorry again.)

lacey russell and/or lynn russell -> mason and/or margot verger (THERE IS NO ONE ELSE FOR THESE ROLES OKAY. I KNOW THIS IMPLIES SO MUCH BUT JUST BEAR WITH ME PLEASE.)

mi-cha -> chiyoh (SHE KNOWS ABOUT THE STORAGE UNIT AND I THINK IT TRANSLATES SOMEWHAT???????? help me.)

russell’s mom -> mischa (he’d probably kill her. so.)

russell’s dad -> man in the cage (and he’d probably blame him for her death. see. i make a little sense.)

i never figured out who would be francis and reba but i accidentally made some lesbian ocs for a separate vice principals fic storyline who would totally fit the roles but i’m not talking about them here.

will’s dogs are gamby’s ducks. :)

hopefully this made a little sense? even just a pinch would be great.

Some Peace On The Porch (Reba Hart x OC)

Summary: Reba and Alex escape the craziness in the house by sneaking out for a quiet moment on the porch swing.

Word Count: 267

Warnings: None, just fluff

Alex joined Reba on the porch swing, happy to get a moment's peace from the chaos going on inside the house. All in all, things went well. Barbra Jean was nothing but supportive, Van made a couple of jokes that Cheyenne had elbowed him in the ribs for. Jake had a lot of questions, and neither she nor Reba had been able to answer them all. That’s what had led them both outside.

"Are you alright," Alex asked gently as she sat down.

"Just a little overwhelmed, I think."

Alex nodded. "I can understand why. This was a big step. On the bright side, I think we have a while before anyone notices we're out here."

At that, Reba smiled. Alex put her arm under Reba's knees and pulled her legs over her lap. "No funny business," Reba warned, shaking a finger at Alex.

"Wouldn’t dream of it," Alex replied. The smirk on her face would beg to differ, but Reba knew she’d keep her word.

Alex laid her arm across the back of the swing, draping it over Reba's shoulder when she came in closer and rested her weary head in the crook of Alex's neck. They sat this way for maybe five or ten minutes, it’s not as if they were counting. "We should go back in," Alex said.

"I know," Reba replied with a sigh.

Alex placed a chaste kiss on the top of Reba's head and reluctantly disentangled from her. "Come on," Alex offered, extending a hand to Reba. Reba took her hand, and together, they went back in to face the family.

this is the next part in this oc series, which is inspired by @roosterscockpit​​ ‘s ( @milesdickpic​ ) story ‘His Little Girl’ and yes the oc is based on me (but is mainly fantasy me lol)

*************

The day after the cookout, Sarah and Jake called up Sarah’s family.

They had sent her parents a puzzle for her mom to do, along with shirts that say ‘nana’ and ‘papa’. And a note that said 'don't open until we facetime’.

So, after sending a text to her siblings saying that they were going to do a ‘family FaceTime’, they got on Jake’s computer and called them.

“Hey guys!” Sarah smiled when everyone answered. Jake waved at the camera.

“Hey soon to be’s!” Sarah’s sister, Reba, greeted with a smile.

Everyone else greeted them right afterwards.

One of Sarah’s niece’s popped up on the screen, “Hey Aunt Sarah!” “Hi, Piper!” “I love you and I miss you!” “Oh, I love you and miss you too, Pipe.” 

She smiled at everyone, “We both miss you guys so much.” Jake wrapped his arm around Sarah, “We really wish we would’ve been able to make it down for Christmas but the weather just wasn’t wanting to work with us this year.” 

Sarah’s mom, Rebecca, just waved it off, “We understand. Though I wish we would have gotten to be there for the proposal.” Both nodded, “We wish you were to.” Jake chuckled, “I was actually going to propose at Bingo, like she got a bingo and I’d just drop down right there. But I think it was pretty special either way.”

Sarah’s oldest sister laughed, “Jake, we saw the video, the proposal was beautiful.” “Well, thank you Lizzie.” 

“Did everyone get their gifts? You all should have gotten two,” Sarah switched the subject. 

They had also sent shirts to her siblings, and their significant others, that said ‘aunt’ and ‘uncle’ respectively, along with the same note.

Everyone gave their version of a ‘yes’.

“Does that mean we get to open the other one now?” Sarah’s brother, Shawn, asked with a chuckle.

Sarah nodded, laughing, “First I want Mom to open her puzzle and put it together.”

Becca grinned and opened the puzzle box and began to put the pieces together.

“While Mom is doing that, you guys can open yours, but don’t say anything until Mom does.” 

They did and Sarah and Jake watched on as they tried their best not to give anything away.

“Okay, finished…” A smile broke out on Becca’s face, “Oh my gosh.” 

Sarah’s dad, Daniel, slipped on his glasses to read it, “What is it?” 

“Dad, open the other box,” Selena said, smiling.

Dan did as instructed and opened the shirt box, pulling out the shirts.

“Okay, this doesn’t tell me what the puzzle is,” Dan said, looking back at the puzzle, reading the words out loud. “Baby Seresin due in Aug-”

He quickly looked at the shirts, seeing that one said, ‘nana’ and the other said ‘papa’.

Jake and Sarah laughed as it finally clicked for her father. “Surprise! We’re pregnant!” 

Cheers came out over the speakers, congratulations flowing out.

“We should have known, their shirts say mom and dad!” Sarah’s nephew, Raiden, pointed out. Everyone turned to look, “How did we not see that?”

They all laughed.

“Wait, how are you gonna get your dress fitted for the wedding in time?” Elizabeth asked, genuinely curious.

Sarah nodded, “We thought about that and since we plan to have the wedding in October, I’m going dress shopping after the baby’s born in August.” 

Reba furrowed her brows, “What about altercations?” “Oh, my friend Whitley is the home ec teacher and she said she do any alts I need for free.” 

“Oh that’s cool.” Sarah nodded, “Yeah, she also made these shirts.”

“So, you’re due in August?” Shawn clarified. “Yes, it should be around the beginning of August.” Jake confirmed.

“Do you have name’s picked out?” James, Reba’s husband, asked. Jake answered, “Yeah, if it’s a girl we plan on naming her Finley Grace.”

All of Sarah’s sisters and her sister-in-law ‘awed’ at the name.

“What if it’s a boy?” Dawson, Selena’s husband, asked. “Finnegan Michael,” Sarah answered.

“Those names are so cute.” “Thank you.”

They talked for a little longer, mostly catching up and talking about what they may think the baby will be like.

“So, you think the baby will wanna be a pilot like you Uncle Jake?” Sarah’s niece, Kylie, asked. Jake shrugged, “I don’t know. But if it does, then that’s okay. If it doesn’t, that’s okay too.” 

“Would you want the baby to be a pilot Aunt Sarah?” She shrugged, “Whatever makes the baby happy. But, I know whatever they do, they’ll put their all into it.”

They continued to talk before everyone had to go off and do their Sunday chores.

“We love y’all! And we’ll keep you guys as updated as we can,” Sarah said as they got ready to end the call. 

Everyone said their ‘goodbye’s and ‘i love you’s, throwing in one last ‘congrats’ before leaving one by one. Until it was just Sarah, Jake, and her parents.

“We’re so happy for both of you. Call us if you need anything.”

“We will Mom. I love you.” Dan opened his mouth. “I love you too Dad.”

They all laughed. “Bye, we love you!” “Bye honey, we love y’all too!”

*Call Ended*

Sarah huffed out a breath and looked up at Jake, “Your turn.”

Poll 7

Vicki Monrovia Jr. (She/Her) by @dragonquest-ix

Why Should Your OC Win?

She accidentally overthrows the government of the largest city on the planet through an unplanned series of murder and robbery she's great.

What is Your OC Like?

Vicki Monrovia is a bandit first and foremost. She's a trans woman batgirl and carries a giant axe with her everywhere she goes. She has coke-bottle glasses and a minecraft hat from when she used to scavenge instead of steal. She's promiscuous and loves all forms of vice, from gambling to substances, and she's probably already stolen your wallet. Sorry!

Reba Winter (She/Her) by @aincretop

Why Should Your OC Win?

Because she's absolutely fucked up. Absolutely rotten. Homicidal. Runs a criminal organization with her brother. Ripe old age of fifteen. That's why she should win.

What is Your OC Like?

reba’s one of two crime bosses of an infamous crime syndicate (called the east coast disasters, but that’s a working title and subject to change). she grew up with two older siblings, a new stepfather every other week, and the most volatile mother ever. she ran off on her thirteenth birthday, leading to a screaming match between the rest of her family, a plot-important shattered vase, and her other siblings also running away. one of the aformentioned siblings is the other crime boss. the other sibling is a police officer. you can see where things get murky huh.

anyways she is very bad at her job (on account of being fifteen) and uhh she kills people!!

[webspinning]

for the pride thing!!

1, 2, 4, 12, 13 for Bananaberry, Coereba, Hellion, Ikol, Macaron

14, 16, 19, 21 for you :)

don't need to do all of them if you don't want !!

ouragh !!!!!!!!

OCs 1. Bananaberry - Transfem, girly doesn't really think about it much. Coereba - Nonbinary! They always were but they're much happier to be able to express it more as a dragon. Hellion - He's never labelled himself and doesn't care to, uses he/they though. Occasionally gets she/her used on him when he's out and doesn't care. Ikol - Agender, or perhaps bigender, or maybe he's pangender. He has a normal relationship with her gender [lying] because I projected really hard. Macaron - They're just nonbinary for now, that might change though. 2. Bananaberry - Sapphic and happy with it. Coereba - Unlabelled...they're t4t though. Hellion - Bisexual, biromantic, strong preference for men that can manhandle him. Ikol - Pansexual, panromantic, fictoromantic, ambiamorous..I project hard on this guy and I'm not sorry. Probably grayro? Subject to change. Macaron - Aroace!! They eat aphobes. 4. Bananaberry - Yeah, scavengers don't know shit about human gender so her telling them when she found out was honestly great. May is trans too so everyone was pretty used to the idea. Her being sapphic isn't really a huge deal either.. they're happy to see her happy. [This also applies to Reba] Coereba - Previously, no. Their family was incredibly transphobic and generally awful. Living with Bananaberry they have a very supportive environment though. They have some trauma from it along with other things but they're okay. Hellion - His mother is more disappointed he's forty years old and still emo. His father bought him a bi flag once [he's also bi] so yeah. He does well. Ikol - Same as Reba, horrible environment [all around, Nighthawk was not nice to her] but more in a sense that Nighthawk just Did Not Care as long as Ikol kept doing the work he asked of her. Now he has a mostly supportive enviroment and the ability to punch people in the face. Macaron - Yeah mostly! The HiveWings also don't care as long as they keep doing their job. 12. Bananaberry - No, she's happy with it. Coereba - A lot, they endured a ton of awfulness about it from their family and often wished they could change just to stop it. Bananaberry helps with reassuring them though, and it helps to be in a good environment. For the rest of them also no !! 13. Bananaberry - Possibly? There would have to be communication with Reba but honestly I think she'd be okay with it. Coereba - Same as Baby, communication. They like the idea of having more than one partner. Hellion - Iffy. He's had open relationships before, but it's not really something he's fully open to. Ikol - Yes !! Very much so. Macaron - They'd be alright with a QPR poly relationship :) ME 14. I do! I'm probably going to forget some because i have a lot but Wholewheat and Macaron are aroace, Embers is alloace, and Tiramisu is asexual. 16. Yes, a few of them have had identity changes. Ikol used to be an omnisexual demigirl, for example. I think there's more but I can't remember :C 19. Unsure what this question is really supposed to mean? I depict it sometimes when it comes into play and I try to do it well lmao. 21. Polyamorous dragons, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

[mechacringekitty]

Bananaberry and Coereba (dotn need to do both if you dont want to !!): 1, 3, 13, 25

damn you're fast ‼ always happy to ramble about these two 1. Bananaberry - Nothing particularly awful has happened to her, she'd probably want to forget one of her more embarrasing slip-ups. Coereba - Turning into a dragon, it was painful and traumatic and they'd rather forget the exact moment of the transformation. 3. Bananaberry - She's too nice, she'd probably throw herself off a cliff if someone she loved told her if would make them feel better. She's kind of aware of it but it hasn't really been a problem Coereba - Easily manipulated, they're really insecure and kind of a pushover. Bananaberry is more aware of it then they are but again, they live such a comfortable life it's not really a problem. Has been for Reba in the past though. 13. Bananaberry - Basically me if I was a rainwing with less trauma, I think we'd get along swell. I'd love to give her a hug. Coereba - Might get torn to shreds, they don't have the worst life out of my ocs but it's not great either. Could possibly get an apology in before I get torched. 25. Bananaberry - I love all of her, but probably the fact that she was designed by someone I find very cool, if that counts. Otherwise probably her personality, it's very fun. Coereba - Story, it's one of the few I'm very very proud of even though it's not super original.
