F/O Masterlist

Okay, I'm at the point where I'm going to have to make The Big List. So this is just a list of everyone that I conceivably might post selfship content about, so if people need to block tags or ask me in advance to tag things, you're aware of the possibility! I'll do my best to update this and let folks know when it's been updated.

This is specifically a list of my romantic or semi-romantic f/os, since those are the ones people usually care about blocking. Maybe I will make a separate list for platonic/familial selfships!

Valentina ‘Val’ Perez-Garcia

Say hello to our leading lady in the Nestor x OC x Angel fic I’ve started working on. 

[thatonefromyourdreams]

I’m Sorry - [Natasha Romanoff x OC]/(7)

The reason why I came here was finally happening.

Em was getting married today and I was a nervous mess. She told me to wear a dress and this was actually worst than coming out to my parents.

"Mom, I'm gay" I said firmly "Pathetic"

I took a deep breath

"Mom, I like women" I said "Lameeee" I banged my head against the mirror

"Mom, I'm dating a girl and I want to marry her"

Try again

"MOM I'M GAY!" I screamed

"Not your mom but I knew it" dad came to my room acting like it wasn't a big deal

"You knew it?" I asked incredulously "How?"

"Well, the Garcia girl called a couple of days after you left" Lu called, okay

"Lu?"

"Yes, the girl you used to spend every day with; she called crying, I think she was drunk" Lu never drank

"Lu?" that was all I could say

He ignored me and continued

"She told me that she needed to tell you how sorry she was, and that she was still in love with you; I'm going to quote her 'I want everything we promised' and then she hung up"

"Wow" I said shocked

"Honey that doesn't mean that I don't love you, I do. You are my baby and nothing could ever change that"

"I wasn't expecting this kind of reaction"

"I'm sorry, you kind of took me off guard, I wanted to buy a coming out cake but... time" he made a funny face

I laughed and hugged him

"Thank you dad" I said trying not to cry

"So... any girl I should know about? I mean if they break your heart I can't beat them because your dad wouldn't hit a girl"

He was taking this so lightly

"I have a girlfriend" I said smiling shyly

"What's her name?" he asked

"Natasha" I said simply

"I like her already" and with that I took off a giant weight from my chest

"Dad... I feel like I let you down" I started

"No, don't ever think that, you're my little girl" he interrupted me "We should get going to the house to see if Emi needs help"

I just wished mom could react like this, but I knew she would freak out and do something stupid like start screaming or fake a seizure, I knew her too well.

We took our bags to my dad's jeep and drove to his beach house, this was the first time I'd see that house.

"Nice" I said as we entered the house, the walls were blue, with hints of white and it was so tidy and organized

"I hired someone to make it look decent" he said as if he was reading my mind

"It looks perfect" I sighed "it makes me want to get married here"

He gave me a funny look

"What?" I asked

He kept looking at me smiling

"You're starting to freak me out" I said walking in front of him to the back of the house

"You want to get married" he said calmly

I had forgotten that throughout my childhood and most of my teen years I had said that I would never get married.

"I do..." I took a deep breath "As a matter of fact, I was going to propose when we were in Paris but I just didn't feel it was the right moment"

"I know you Vale, and I don't have to be with you 24/7 to know that it wasn't that the real reason"

He knew me too well

"She’s a spy, dad, not just that, she’s the spy. The one you watch in movies but better, and I’m just me"

"Valentina, you’re so used to be you that you can’t actually see how wonderful you are"

I rolled my eyes

"Do you remember that time when those men robbed our house and they tied you down and took everything?" I asked

"What does that has to do with Natasha?" he said

"Well, mom kept saying to everyone that she married you for security and know she had to waste the money in therapy for the trauma"

He kept quiet for a full minute before saying

"You are trying to say that in one point Natasha is going to turn into a woman like your mom?"

"No, dad..."

"I assume you didn't choose a woman like your mom so you won’t have that kind of trouble" he interrupted

He took my hand

"She loves you for who you are" he said sweetly

I loved how dad always said exactly the right word when we had a problem, he was so nice and so thoughtful.

"Why did you marry mom?" I asked out of the blue

"I adored her and that was the beginning of my ending" he said "Your mom was a beautiful brown haired girl, who loved literature and medicine"

"Mom?" I asked incredulous

"Yes, through all of high school she said she wanted to be a doctor. But you know how Marina is" he said referring to my mother's mother.

I nodded

"She said that medicine wasn't a career for girls and that she had to study something more adequate for her"

"So she chose bakery?" I asked

"She went to culinary school and became a chef, but baking was her second passion so she dedicated to that"

Mom owned a franchise chain of cake shops and even thought it wasn't as big as my dad's company, it paid the luxurious life mom dreamed of.

"She is a broken woman Vale, and she loves you, in her very own way"

"She kicked me out of the house" it was a hard topic to me

"She regretted it, she went to search for you the next day but she didn't find you and Emi said she had promise you not to say a word"

"Dad?" I asked

"Was I the reason you divorced?"

He looked down

"No, you weren't" I didn't push any further

"VALE! DAD!" Em yelled from the back of the house

"Bridezilla" we both said before breaking into a fit of laughter

.---------------------------------------

"The ceremony is about to start" the wedding planner said with a clipboard in his hand "Go to your places"

"I'll see you later with another last name" I smiled to Em

She smiled back

"Go to your place" the planner said again

I walked to the first row of chairs placed carefully for the ceremony. Mom was to my side and on the other side was Enrique, Lucía and Ricardo.

"Vale" Enrique, Carlos' younger brother, smiled

"Kike" I smiled back

He didn't say anything else

The wedding march started we got up, there she was. I saw Em earlier inside with her gorgeous strapless dress, but know, with the palm trees and the colors of the sunset she looked incredibly beautiful.

I wanted that, to see Nat walking down the aisle with a dress while I was waiting for her at the end, I wanted it to be with her. I took my phone out to take a picture of her, she looked so unreal. I remembered when were younger, everything she had done for me, she was more my mother than the woman next to me.

"Hasta que la muerte los separe" the father said

"Until my last breath" Carlos said kissing her

.-------------------------

"You look nice" Mom came to my side while I was watching Em and Carlos share their first dance

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend...

The music played in the back

"You too mom" I said not paying much attention to her

"One day that is going to be you" she said softly

"I really hope so" I murmured, Kendall hadn't texted all day

"A beautiful young man, I know a few..." she kept talking about guys.

Now Val, it's your turn, come on!

"Margaret's boy is a darling, he has his own apartment on Main Street..."

NOW VAL!

"Mom..." I said softly but she kept talking

"His name is Arturo, he is a doctor, and he saves people..."

"Mom..." I said again

"You too could get along, he is a gentleman..."

"MOM!" I said loudly, making a few persons turn

"Yes?" she asked annoyed

"Valentina is that you?" Aunt Delia came with her two daughters

I smiled

"Hi Aunt Delia"

"Oh darling you are so thin!" she took my arm

She must have sensed my discomfort

"Nice to see you" she said an rushed

"Mom..." I started

"Honey, speak quickly, I need to search for Pablo" I looked at her frowning but didn't say anything.

"Mom I don't want to date Margaret's son" I started

"Okay, I have a lot of friends"

"No mom, I don't want to date any of their sons" I said, my heart beating faster and faster.

"Why?" she asked confused

"Mom... I'm..."

"Pablo" she said a tall figure walking to us

"Hello" I knew him, he was the guy.

"Mom, I'm gay" I said loudly

Mom and the guy looked at me shocked.

Electric Touch (feat. (feat. Francisco Morales) (Val's Version)

Frankie Morales x Valerie "Songbird" Harlow (Singer Songwriter!OC) (platonic)

Santiago "Pope" Garcia x Valerie "Songbird" Harlow (Singer Songwriter!OC) (mentioned in this chapter)

Series Masterlist Part 1

Ari's Note: Finally, I finished this chapter. I took some liberties with the timeline. (In my head, the movie takes place in 2017 and this story takes place in 2019 or 2020ish.) Frankie in my head is in his late thirties, whereas Val is 31 in this story.

Deep breaths, in and out. 

In and out.

“What the fuck,” I think in my head as I pace inside the home studio inside my house back in Florida, a day after the show where I ran into Santiago. My mind is racing over the kiss that he gave me the night prior. I owned the house before I started dating Santiago. A small house near a beach. When we were dating, we balanced staying with each other at both of our homes. I come from an old-fashioned family who never believed in moving in together with someone before an engagement.

Frankie comes into my home, holding two cups of coffee, one for him and one for me. His hunter-green jacket is slightly stained due to wear. His slightly brownish-gray hair is messily curled. His “Standard Heating Oil” hat always seemed attached to his head. We have known each other since childhood. He is a few years older than me; he used to babysit me when he was 10, and I was 6. We were more like siblings than friends. His child refers to me as “auntie” more than anything else.

“Kid and momma are spending the day doing a mommy playdate. I am all yours. You okay?”

“I am fine… you are late, by the way.” I sip the lukewarm, bitter coffee slowly to fully enjoy it. 

“Being late for a demo session for a song that I am not even singing on.” Frankie takes a look at the home studio setup. A setup that I made when trying to get someone- anyone to recognize what I have is real. A random patterned rug that I found on clearance at West Elm. Faux-leather stools that were found at a yard sale when babysitting Frankie’s kid years prior. The only new thing is the technology given to me by the label. 

“The band recorded the instrumentals back in Seattle. The label wanted to see how I would sound doing an actual love song, which is this song. I told them this song is perfect if the male vocalist is a tenor and as a duet. That is why I sent you that text with the lyrics a few days ago. This session to record the vocals and send it to the producer and the label.”

“When you told me about this, I thought you were crazy for wanting me to sing again.”

“Said the man who loved choir in high school.” He rolls his eyes. He takes off his faded trucker hat and tries to straighten his hair. His darkish gray curls are messy like always.

“That was the choir in high school, Val.” He looks at me with concern, fully knowing what happened the night prior backstage. “What happened with you and Santiago last night?”

“It was nothing,” I look over at him as I start prepping the studio for two people recording there. He grabs my arm and pulls me closer to him.

“Val, he left mid-song. I tried to find him after your set for over an hour. I had to find him nursing a beer outside the venue. I know your guys’ breakup was hard on you, but it hit him the hardest.”

“Frankie, I love you like a brother. Can we not talk about this now? I don’t want to waste your time by talking about this instead of doing the recording.” I start vocal warmups before handing him his headphones, and we go into the booth together. We both are standing in front of a microphone for each of us. I place my laptop on a nearby table with the instrumental track and pull up the recording software. He holds the notebook with the lyrics in his hand. “I will lead you in when your part comes in. Recording in 3…2…1.”

The soft country rock instrumental leads me in as I start singing. Frankie smirks the songs as he recognizes the song beat as a signature of my musical composition style. 

“Just breathe, just relax, it'll be okay

Just an hour 'til your car's in the driveway

Just the first time ever hangin' out with you tonight

I've got my money on things going badly

Got a history of stories ending sadly

Still hoping that the fire won't burn me

Just one time, just one time

All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life

Got a feelin' your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life

And I want you now, wanna need you forever

In the heat of your electric touch, mmm”

Frankie’s soft tenor voice appears as I gesture him into the song. His voice is soft, yet rough. I could have been a while since he sang aloud, but he still sounded good.

“I've been left in the rain lost and pining

I'm tryin' hard not to look like I'm trying

'Cause every time I tried hard for love, it fell apart (whoa)

I've gotten used to no one callin' my phone

I've grown accustomed to sleeping alone

Still, I know that all it takes is to get it right

Just one time, just one time

All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life

Got a feelin' your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life

And I want you now, wanna need you forever

In the heat of your electric touch

I was thinking just one time (just one time)

Maybe the stars align (just one time)

And maybe I call you mine

And you won't need space

Or string me along while you decide

And just one time (just one time)

Maybe the moment's right (the moment's right)

It's 8:05 and I see two headlights

All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life

Got a feelin' your electric touch (oh)

All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life

Got a feelin' your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life

And I want you now, wanna need you forever

In the heat of your electric touch, mmm”

Out of breath, I pushed the end of the recording. “Please tell me it hasn’t been a while since you sang aloud.” I take a long sip of water from my water bottle nearby.

“Three years.”

“Karaoke with Ben was the last time you sang,” I asked as I gave him a questioning look.

“Why didn’t you tell me that Santiago kissed you?” I gave him the look of “are we really talking about this right now again?” 

“How did you know?” Frankie gave me a concerning look since he knows the truth.

“Based on the details in the song, this song was about your first date because you told me how much you cared for him. Plus Santiago told me that he kissed after your set after you two talked after I picked him up from the bar…. Val, what the hell happened?”

“He and I kissed… He told me about the money… his share of the money.”

“And?”

“And that his share was for me…”

“He finally told you then…”

“Frankie, don’t dabble in his bullshit…” I am getting fed up with the same fucking lie that his share was for me.

“I am not… Val, he wanted that money for you….” He sighs deeply as he takes a long sip of coffee. “I know it was shitty of me for not telling you, but I promised you I would have done the same thing.”

“I understand the guilt around Tom’s death but why did he have to do it like that?”

“He was going to buy you a ring so he could propose to you…”

“What?”

“He wanted to propose and do a big old fancy engagement for you. I am sorry that I didn’t tell you.” Frankie is concerned about what is next for me and Santiago.

I sigh as I step out of the makeshift studio so Frankie can record his audio. “I need to record your vocals, Frankie... I will start the music where your part comes in.” As the music plays, my phone buzzes. I pick it up. It is a text from Santiago.

Santiago: We need to talk. Alone.

Seeing V casually playing Samurai songs on the guitar in Japantown apt made me think about how FUNNY it would be if V is a some sort of a music genius who plays guitar like she's been doing it for decades when in reality she played it like for an year and then got bored 😭😭😭 She's like *casually performs never fade away on pro-level* "🙄🙄🙄 Ugh I'm bored let's get a gig or something" and Johnny never comments on her playing because he's ROYALLY pissed off about this and if he had a body he WOULD smash his guitar into her head😭😭😭😭😭😭 V is so stoopid she never noticed her talent, she thinks it's normal😭😭😭😭

Cyberpunk 2077 spoiler alert!!! 🚨🚨🚨

Just finished cyberpunk 2077 with the Johnny's ending. My heart is broken but this endind is my favorite so far (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀) The way V and Johnny love each other I- (T_T) I don't even ship them BUT THEY'RE SOULMATES FOR REAL!!!! Now I'm just mad I'll never find love like this sjdhdjsjsj Also sooooo happy for Johnny to get a new start I really didn't expect him to let it go and just leave, actually kinda proud for his growth!!! V, babygirl, it was also your doing, I hope you're resting now, no more pain, no more despair, I hope Alt let your soul go and now you're with Jackie drinking tequila. Rest in peace, my love 💔💔💔
