Lilia coaxing you to sleep with a lullaby
( Um I love anything with sleep, and it’s 2 in the morning so I’m exhausted but I love lilia. )
Tumblr media
(The song he sings and the one I’m currently obsessed with, it really does put me to sleep- I HAVE TO STOP THE RANT.)
“Darling, you’ll have to fall asleep eventually..” Lilia chuckled at your struggling form.
You were sitting up besides him, trying to fall asleep but even in your tired state you just couldn’t close your eyes. He tried to help you by rubbing your back and petting your hair but it just didn’t help.
“Liliaaaa! It’s not funny. My eyelids are so heavy but they just won’t close??” You sighed and shook your head furiously, “it’s like my body doesn’t want to go to sleep… or my brain? I don’t know!”
You grumbled before turning to face the pillows and slamming your head into them.
Lilia just stared at you at first, humming to himself before speaking up, “Maybe it’s all of that sugar you ate before that’s keeping your brain up.. I’m not sure, my dear.”
You glared at the boy but couldn’t help the little childish grin that broke out on your face.
“It was worth it.. it was delicious!” You licked your lips as you reminisced about the wonderful creamy chocolate bars and the strawberry tarts you ate earlier.
You guys laid in silence for a couple minutes. It was comfortable but stuffy. Lilia could tell by your breathing patterns that you still weren’t sleeping. He felt a little pity for you.
“Lilia, baby?”
“Yes, my dear?”
“Can you sing for me? Please?” You turned to lay your head on his lap and looked up at him giving him the doe eyes.
Lilia groaned playfully as soon as you let the question slip out of your puffy lips.
“And if I say no?” He grinned down at you.
“I’ll sleep in the lounge instead.. I mean I guess it’s quite comfy at times..” you but your lip in anticipation, ready to see what he did next as you slowly lifted yourself from his lap.
He grabbed your shoulder harshly and slammed you back down, pulling the covers over your slightly cold form.
“I won’t allow that! How dare you say such a thing, y/n..” he pouted down at your smiling figure.
“I was just teasing.. now sing me one of your beautiful lullabies, baby! Please?” You basically squealed in excitement.
“I will, I will! Get comfortable first?”
You quickly nuzzled into his side, giving him a quick kiss on the lips before signaling him to go.
He nodded, beginning to hum,
“Ode to the blue of your mind I can’t follow..”
“Wonder if you’re really there..”
You sighed in bliss, closing your heavy eyelids and listening intently to his beautiful voice.
“Water that falls from your eyes in the hall..”
“I hear footsteps that aren’t really there.”
He paused, checking on you and moving the loose hairs from your forehead which made your eyes flutter open making him look into your deep brown eyes.
He ran his finger down your face, closing your eyelids with a quiet giggle.
“I’ve been thinking about the way..”
“The lights get lost in your hair.”
He finished the short song and smiled at you, sleeping soundly on his side.
“My darling.. sleep well.”
Ok goodnight/morning, idk what am is considered, I’m fucking exhausted!

Morally Wrong (Smut)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Storyline: Once a year you go visit your parents who live out of state. Every time you visit it’s the same thing, why not spice it up a bit?
Characters: Shang Chi x Reader
Notes: I love writing smut. I SAID what I SAID.
***Apologies for any misspelling or grammar**
“Can you pass the butter hun?” your mom asked. Shang Chi passed the dish over to your mom across the table. Dinner tonight was going great and nothing felt out of place. You rolled your fork in your spaghetti listening to your dad’s endless talk about his birdfeeder.
“Now son, have you ever thought about woodwork? It’s a pretty lucrative hobby” your smiled at Shang Chi who was stuffing his face with rolls. You couldn’t help but gush over how perfect he was. Everything from his boyish features and soft eyes. He wore a casual graphic tee shirt with his elbows relaxed on the table. You instantly get turned on from the sight of him. A cleverish thought crept into your mind.
“How’s everything with your job?” you snapped out of your thoughts and looked at your mom.
“Oh uh it’s great you know? The same old thing” You reassured. While continuing the conversation with your mom, you rubbed your foot against Shang Chi’s leg. Shang Chi's jaw tighten trying to keep his composure. You stopped your foot play and brushed your hand on the inside of his inner leg and rubbed his bulge. Shang Chi choked on his glass of water and tried to snap your hand away.
“Are you ok dear?” your mom asked concerned.
“Yea I’m ok, just went down the wrong pipe” Shang Chi looked over at you hinting to stop. You pierced your lips together trying to hold your grin in. The idea of fucking your boyfriend right now in your childhood home excited you more. Suddenly you felt a rough hand squeeze your thigh. You shift in your seat and try to act casual.
“ You know what I think I’m going to call it a night, I’m really tired from the long trip here” You struggled to speak as his hand gradually moved up your dress.
“Are you sure babe?” Shang Chi looked at you pretending he wasn’t two inches away from rubbing your pulsating mound.
“No no that’s ok you sweetie me and your mother could use some rest ourselves” Your dad sweetly looked at you. You pushed Shang Chi’s hand between your legs so he could feel how wet your panties were. Your parents got up from their seats and began cleaning the table.
“We got it from here you two go get some rest” Your dad stated. You and Shang Chi tell your parents goodnight and head to your bedroom.
Shang Chi closed the door behind you and you instantly began taking off your dress. Shang Chi hungrily sucked and kissed your neck while his fingers rubbed your sweet mound in your panties.
“This is a bad idea” Shang Chi huskily said between kisses.
“Not if they don’t hear us” You flirted. You pull your panties off and unzip your lover’s jeans. Shang Chi pulled his shirt off while you worked on his jeans. He kicked his pants off and you lowered yourself down to his erect member. You wrapped your wet lips around his member and slowly sucked it in wetness while looking into his eyes.
He moaned and pressed his hand on the back of your head. You sucked the tip of his member as a tease. You gulp his member in your mouth again and pace your strokes in your mouth. Shang Chi brushed your hair away and held it in a ponytail.
“Fuck baby keep going” he moaned. You quicken your pace and deepen his member in your throat. Shang Chi’s breath started to hitch, feeling himself on edge. You intentionally stop and stand back up. Shang Chi groaned and told you to quietly get on your hands and knees on the bed. You assume position in doggie style and Shang Chi wasted no time aligned himself and pushed his throbbing member inside you. You moaned loudly and Shang Chi quickly bent down to cover your mouth.
“You have to be quiet remember?” he whispered into your ear. Shang Chi was amused and took upon himself to purposely fuck you as hard as he could making it difficult for you to resist a moan. He kept his hand over your mouth and continued to fuck you harder while you moaned into his hand. Shang Chi slapped your ass with his other hand and pumped into your wet pussy harder. You shrieked and felt his hard member reach your g spot. Shang Chi licked and bit your ear lobe.
“not as easy as it sounds huh? He teased into your ear. You whimpered into his hand and felt your pussy tighten around his member. Shang Chi removed his hand from around your mouth and began pounding your pussy until you reached your climax. Shang Chi soon after followed. He kissed your back and laid on the bed reaching his hands behind his head. You laid next to him and looked up at your old autographed picture of Hannah Montana on the ceiling. “You think they heard us?” you whispered. “Most definitely” he replied and closed his eyes.

MC 'suggesting' (Basically forcing) ROs to bed after a long week?.
Arthur: "I know dear, I just have to-"
"No."
Sighing, Arthur looks up with a weak smile "yes, ok. We need sleep."
He's right in assuming that you're tired too, since you almost never leave their side. Nevertheless, this week has been taxing even more than usual and he managed to reach frankly embarassing working hours.
"To bed," you state. Arthur lets himself be escorted to his bedroom under your vigil watch and he gives you a kiss on the cheek "goodnight, darling."
Evaine: "Nooo, I have to finish this..." half-heartedly attempts to cling to the table they were sprawled on, but with just enough yawns to attest that they are, indeed, exhausted and also half-coherent at the moment. If MC decides to sleep with them, they won't mind at all.
Yniol: "I am used to night patrols, my Liege," they assure you. Nevertheless, you can see in their sometimes unfocused gaze and in their slow blinks how tired they really are. They'll make a lot of gentle resistence, though, so MC will have to physically bring them to bed themselves. Yniol isn't accustomed to people taking care of them like this so they'll feel slightly awkward, but out of respect for MC's reasonings they'll eventually surrender.
Morien: pinching their nose, they huff out a strained breath "damn, this isn't even finished."
"It doesn't matter."
At your decisive answer, Morien sighs, slightly bending down to massage their aching knee. "Well, I suppose you're right. I can't see straight anyway."
After grumpily going to bed, the next morning Morien will be quite grateful towards MC.
Gwyar: it's unlikely for this to happen just because Gwyar has a set schedule to raise and go to sleep so it's all the more worrying finding them still up at a late hour into the night. Gwyar's probably going to make weak attempts to resist but they'll soon give up and follow MC to bed. If MC stays with them (even for only a bit) they'll probably anxiously vent about what was keeping them awake.

In which the witchers look after their bard
written for @sicktember 2022 prompt 8 - Intense Coddling and Prompt 22 - cold/flu
Jaskier loved wintering at Kaer Morhen with Geralt and his brothers. It wasn’t easy by any means but it was always good to see the Witchers relaxed, not fighting day in and day out with monsters and people alike.
Kaer Morhen might hold some terrible memories for the Witchers but it was also their home. Nobody there was going to hurl insults or shy away in fear of them.
Jaskier made it his mission to spend time looking after the other Witchers at the keep as well, not just Geralt. They all deserved some kindness after what they spent three seasons a year doing for the people of the continent.
They had arrived a few hours earlier and Geralt was currently helping Eskel with firewood while Jaskier was unpacking their things. He sneezed a few times in quick succession and put it down to the room being a little dusty from disuse, nevermind that Vesmir aired the rooms out well before the younger wolves arrived home for the season.
Once he had unpacked he allowed himself a moment to lay on the bed, nobody was expecting him anywhere at the moment and he was exhausted after weeks on the road. Before he was really aware it was happening Jaskier’s eyes closed and he slept.
………………
https://archiveofourown.org/works/41563653
Jaskier woke slowly, as he did he realised he wasn’t alone. Geralt was beside him on the bed, Jaskier’s face pressed against his chest.
“Finally awake?” Geralt asked, his voice a low rumble.
“Hmm, I suppose. Sorry I didn’t mean to fall asleep,” Jaskier’s voice came out a little hoarse and he cleared his throat a few times. “Did we miss dinner?”
“Not quite, the other’s are probably already sitting down to eat though. We should join them if you feel up to it.”
Jaskier nodded and sat up, stretching before dropping a kiss to Geralt’s cheek and climbing over him to get off the bed.
Geralt just sighed at the impatient bard and stood up to follow Jaskier out of the room.
Jaskier hadn’t realised how hungry he was until he reached the hall and could smell hot food.
He sat at the long table the other’s were gathered at and greeted them.
“Apologies for our tardiness my dear Witchrer’s, I fell asleep. It’s been a long few weeks travelling.”
“Quite alright,” Eskel said, smiling at the bard. “Eat up both of you while it’s hot.”
Before long everyone had eaten their fill and moved over towards the fireplace, Vesemir settling into a worn armchair, Eskel and Lambert settled down on some furs in front of the fire and Geralt and Jaskier took a two-seater lounge that was old but still comfortable..
Jaskier sank down in the chair and leaned into Geralt’s side, the Witcher wrapped an arm around his shoulders and Jaskier settled in, full of warm stew and content to listen to the low rumble of Geralt catching up with his brothers after months apart on the Path.
A part of him knew he shouldn’t be so tired, after all he had slept the afternoon away. In that moment he couldn’t quite bring himself to care though.
Jaskier had been in a light doze, resting his head against Geralt’s shoulder when he woke up coughing. The fit lasted a few minutes and when it was finally easing off he found Eskel pressing a cup of water into his hands. He drank the water down, forcing himself to sip slowly lest he set off another coughing fit. Once he was done Geralt took the cup and put it on the floor at their feet and rubbed soothing circles along Jaskier’s back.
“Shit bard, you ok?” Lambert asked, sounding mildly alarmed at the display.
Jaskier just nodded, not quite trusting himself to speak yet.
After a few more minutes passed Jaskier felt himself flagging again. Geralt seemed to notice as well. “How about we get you to bed Jask?”
“Sure. Sorry about that. Goodnight everyone.” Jaskier let Geralt help him up and allowed himself to be led back to their room, the remaining Witcher’s calling out their own goodnights behind them.
Jaskier walked in a daze, letting Geralt guide him. Once they reached their room Geralt sat Jaskier on the bed and helped him remove his boots and get situated in bed. With Jaskier settled Geralt quickly got himself ready for bed and lay on the bed beside the bard.
Despite feeling exhausted Jaskier struggled to fall asleep. His throat felt scratchy and his head was aching. The more that he thought about those things the more he began to notice other things like the fact that one side of his nose blocked and he was aching in places that he wouldn’t normally hurt despite the hard trip up the mountain to the keep.
Sighing to himself he tried to cuddle up to Geralt and relax so he could sleep. Geralt wrapped his arm tighter around Jaskier and pulled the bard against him so that Jaskier’s head was resting on his chest. Despite his discomfort Jaskier’s eyes finally slipped closed and he slept.
Waking up the next morning was not the most pleasant experience.
Geralt was still in bed with him, which was probably the only good part of the morning. All the minor aches and pains he had noticed as he had tried to sleep the night before seemed to have increased tenfold and he felt utterly miserable.
He let out a low whine as he opened his eyes, the early morning light filtering into the room making his headache worse.
Geralt grumbled something soothing and Jaskier just whimpered again, this time Geralt opened his eyes and shifted so he could look at the bard.
“What’s wrong?” he asked quietly.
Jaskier just shook his head slightly, his throat felt raw and painful and he wasn’t sure that speaking was the best idea.
At Jaskier’s silence Geralt’s brow furrowed in concern and he pulled away to sit up. The bard shivered as Geralt’s warmth left him and tried to burrow back beneath the blankets.
Geralt uncovered Jaskier’s face and lay his hand on the bard’s forehead.
“You have a fever Jaskier, I'm guessing you don’t feel too well?” Geralt asked, running his fingers through the bard’s tangled hair.
Jaskier nodded slightly and pressed his face against Geralt’s side. The witcher kept running his fingers through Jaskier’s hair, massaging his head slightly every now and then and leaving Jaskier feeling relaxed despite how generally awful he felt. Eventually he must have fallen asleep as he woke up to find the room much brighter and Geralt missing.
Not knowing how long he’d been asleep he figured he should probably get up and find something to eat. Not that he was particularly hungry but he knew he needed to eat, or at the very least some tea to soothe his sore throat.
He was just pushing his way up from the bed when the door opened and Geralt came in carrying a tray with a teapot, two mugs and a steaming bowl of something.
“Back to bed Jaskier. I brought you tea and soup.”
“Thank you,” Jaskier croaked, immediately regretting it when he began to cough.
Geralt sat the tray down and then moved to rub Jaskier’s back until the fit passed.
“Don’t talk if you can help it. At least get some tea and soup into you and hopefully that will help your throat. I asked Vesemir if we had any human safe ingredients to make something to help you and he’s checking his stores.
Jaskier opened his mouth to speak before thinking better of it and just nodding instead. He gratefully took the tea that Geralt passed him and sipped it slowly. Once the mug was empty he moved onto the soup, only managing half before his stomach roiled and he had to set it aside.
“Thank you love,” he said, voice still hoarse but better after the warmth of the tea and soup. “Sorry I’m sick, horrible timing.”
“Better here than while we were on the path to get here. Just rest for now and give yourself time to get over this.”
Jaskier nodded and settled back onto the bed.
Geralt leaned over to kiss his forehead before standing and taking the tray with him.
“I’ll come check on you later. Just need to help with some chores.”
“Of course. I’m not going anywhere.”
Geralt left the room and Jaskier let his mind wander. While he was frustrated to have fallen ill just after their arrival, Geralt was right. It was far better to be sick where he had access to warm bed than out on the path.
Despite spending what felt like far too much of the past 24 hours sleeping Jaskier felt his eyes growing heavy again and let himself give in to sleep.
The next time Jaskier woke up Eskel was sitting in a chair near the bed.
“Eskel?” he rasped, voice coming out a pained whisper.
“Hey Jaskier. I’d ask how you’re feeling but I think I can guess as much. Maybe don’t talk. I finished my chores so Geralt asked me to come check in on you. You have quite a high fever so Vesemir is working on something to help with that. Do you want some water?”
Jaskier nodded slowly, his head felt like it was full of cotton wool but he was parched.
Eskel helped him sit up so he could drink, the witcher steadying his shaking hands before he could spill the water on himself. Once he was done Eskel set the cup aside and Jaskier let himself slump back against the headboard of the bed.
“Do you need anything else?”
Jaskier hesitated for a moment, wanting nothing more than to ask for Geralt, but eventually shook his head. He was a grown man. He could wait until Geralt was able to come back.
Eskel seemed to realise what he wanted anyway. “I’ll go check in with Geralt and let him know you’re awake.”
Jaskier gave a weak smile and Eskel just rested his hand on Jaskier’s shoulder for a moment before leaving the room.
Jaskier wasn’t alone for long before Geralt returned.
“Hey Jask, Eskel said your voice was pretty much gone so don’t talk if you can help it. Vesemir put together a remedy to help with your fever and some of the aches you’re feeling.”
He handed Jaskier a cup and Jaskier pulled a face at the thick consistency, at least with his nose so blocked he probably wouldn’t taste much. He downed it quickly, gagging a little at the bitter taste as it hit the back of his throat.
Geralt took the cup off him and nodded in sympathy. “Yeah it tastes like shit but it will help. Do you want me to sit with you for a little while?”
Jaskier felt torn, he shouldn’t keep Geralt here with him, he hadn’t seen his brother’s in months. But he really did feel like shit and wanted nothing more to be held.
Taking Jaskier’s silence as agreement Geralt shucked his boots and climbed onto the bed beside the bard. Jaskier leaned into Geralt’s chest and let the sound of his slow heartbeat lull him into sleep again.
………………
The next few days passed in much the same way, Jaskier slept, drank tea and small amounts of soup, and Vesemir’s terrible concoction to help his fever. Whenever he woke one of the witcher’s was there and quite frankly it was probably the most cared for he had ever felt.
As he started to get better though it became a little stifling.
Jaskier was sitting up in bed trying to write in his notebook and Lambert was bard-sitting.
Lambert didn’t seem to know what to do now that Jaskier was awake and feeling a little more like himself. They had played a game of gwent, Lambert had fetched him some water, but now Jaskier just wanted some peace and quiet so he could get down some of the ideas in his head before they were lost to him.
The fifth time Lambert stood up only to sit back down after pacing across the room a few times Jaskier snapped.
“Alright that’s it. Thank you kindly Lambert for your care but please, please just go. You’re going stir crazy in here and it’s making me crazy too.”
Lambert looked ready to argue, but Jaskier just stared at him, arms crossed.
“Fine!” the youngest witcher said, throwing his hands in the air before storming out of the room.
“Fuck,” Jaskier muttered. Not wanting to end things like that he threw the covers back and shakily got to his feet. Foregoing his boots lest he not be able to catch up, he made his way as quickly as he could to the door.
He hurried down the hallway, calling to Lambert as he went. He didn’t get far before he had to stop and lean against the wall as he coughed, head swimming from lack of oxygen as the fit dragged on. He was starting to sink to the floor when he felt arms wrap around him from behind and he was hauled up against someone’s chest.
“Come on bard, breathe slowly now,” Lambert’s voice cut through the fog of Jaskier’s thoughts.
After long moments his breathing slowed and he got himself back under control.
“‘m s’rry,” Jaskier gasped out.
“Shush you. I’m the one who’s sorry. Let’s get you back to bed yeah?”
Jaskier just nodded and let Lambert guide him back to his room.
Once Jaskier was situated in the bed and had finished off a drink of water, Lambert seemed satisfied enough to sit back down in the chair and stop hovering over him.
Feeling a little more like himself again Jaskier made to speak but Lambert cut him off.
“No, don’t speak buttercup. You’ve been bed bound for days with this fucking flu and my guess is you just wanted a few moment to yourself without someone hovering over you like we’ve all been doing for days. You snapped. It happens. There is nothing to apologise for. Now after that debacle in the hall are you going to be alright if I leave? Do you want me to get Geralt?”
Jaskier thought over his options. He felt wrecked, Lambert had only been trying to help. It’s all anyone had done the last few days. Finally he reached over to pat Lambert’s hand.
“Stay?” he asked quietly.
“Of course. Get some rest.”
Jaskier settled back on his pillow and let himself drift. He really did love winter’s at the keep, even if he had to be sick for the start of this one. He cared for his witcher’s so much, and they clearly cared for him too. He was on the mend and though nowhere near better yet, he could take a few more days of them coddling him.

Headcannon: What if Alcina and her darling had a baby? Warning: Fluff, fluff, fluff! Mentions of Postpartum.
I Love Your Body, Even If You Don't (SFW)
While growing up you had always wanted children. Despite them being messy, you absolutely adored them and would do anything to see them smile and giggling. You were the oldest out of four children-living conditions weren't easy, but you and your family were happy. Being the oldest sibling sometimes feels like being a second, and/or third parent...just ask Bela; you on the other hand were happy to help your mother and father and were thrilled when they announced your siblings over the years. The love you had for your family only increased, which caused you to want to start one of your own.
After yours and Alcina's union, you discussed it with her. At first Alcina was apprehensive (considering certain things that have happened), but she felt a change was needed to the castle. She wanted to know what it would be like having a baby around since her three oldest ones didn't have much of a childhood, nor did she as a matter of fact. After a few months of planning and discussions with the girls, the decision was final: they would arrange a plan with Mother Miranda.
It took over another year to test out all the necessary medicines and procedures, and there were many failed results. It seemed all hope was lost and you nearly gave up. After about the 100th procedure, a "positive" finally showed itself. You and Alcina were ecstatic and couldn't wait to make the announcement.
"Please do not celebrate so soon," Miranda said. "We still have to monitor you for at least another month so that we may be absolutely sure."
"Of course, Mother, we understand. However, I have a good feeling about this one," Alcina said.
One month turned into three, three turned into five, and your belly was practically about to burst at the end of the eighth month mark. You were overjoyed and a little nervous, but you remembered the love that your parents showered on you and your siblings and it helped eased your mind immensely-only a few weeks left--or a few minutes; the baby was early and ready to go. You were not prepared at all!
Time Skip- Four months later
"Aw, Mama! Annette is so big already. She's probably going to be as tall as mother," Daniela cooed at her baby sister.
"Dear heavens, I hope not! I refuse to be the shortest in the family," you rolled your eyes as you faked annoyance.
Daniela stroked the baby's face, lost in her pretty eyes. "Mama, I really don't think you have a choice. She's already wearing nine month sizes at 4 months, but it will be cute to be able to pick you up," Daniela grinned. "You could be our own little baby."
You laughed. "No, ma'am! As long as I'm the parent, the only babies will be you and your sisters. Now you go and have fun on the hunt. Bela and Cass have been expecting you for some time, I'm sure."
You kissed Daniela on the forehead as you bid her goodnight. She smiled and blew a kiss to the baby, leaving you and baby Annette alone. After feeding her and putting her into bed, you caught a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, and any small glimmer of joy you had had gone out the window. You were always a curvy woman, but after giving birth you gained a bit more weight than you intended. Post-partum hit you like a brick that first week and it was hell. Constant crying, anxiety and depression, thoughts of self harm, maybe two hours of sleep a night, you really went through it all. The birth wasn't traumatic in any sense, but no one prepared you for the emotions and weight fluctuations that followed soon after- on top of that, Alcina unfortunately had meetings out the roof and was hardly home to help. Luckily the girls stepped in this past week for a day or two to help you catch up, but it wasn't enough.
"How are you feeling, draga?"
Alcina came up behind you and gave you a soft kiss on the lips. She looked concerned and wanted to comfort you.
" I'm conflicted, Alci. On one hand I'm so happy to have Annette with us, on the other..." you sighed. "Her birth wasn't traumatic, it was quite peaceful, so why do I feel so helpless, so worn out?"
Alcina kissed you again and led you to bed, wrapping you in her arms.
"I've gained so much weight, Alci. I feel ill and I can't stand to look at myself. When you tried to be romantic with me after Miranda gave us the ok, I thought I was ready, but I couldn't...I just felt...unattractive. I'm so sorry! I was tired and still feel that way. I know it feels like I was rejecting you and it probably made you angry..maybe that's why all those meetings."
"My love, birth is a wonderful and stressful process. I will admit, that it was rather selfish of me to assume that you would be ready to resume the sexual side of our relationship, but I received a reality check: I've never gone through a birthing process. I don't know what it's like to push pounds of a human out of my body, or go through feeling undesirable because my body isn't the same as it used to be. However, please know this: I'm very happy to have had a baby with you. I'd go through it all over again. And I could never be upset with you, especially if you aren't feeling well. As for the meetings, they unfortunately always show up at the worst possible time."
She tilted your chin up to make you look at her.
"You are so strong, so brave to have done this. You are a wonderful lover and a wonderful mother to our girls. That in my eyes makes you very attractive. And although you may not love your body as it is now, I do. It birthed our baby girl and carried her for months. You took your time making her so perfect for us, even though she decided that time was taking too long."
You both laughed. Annette was a stubborn one, but she reminded you of Alcina. She was absolutely perfect!
"Your body is beautiful to me, draga. Those beautiful curves, the roundness of your tummy, those warm, delicious thighs-your breasts are swollen and full with milk that I know you use to satiate our child's hunger. It's beautiful to see you bond with her that way. She adores you as I do. I know you want to get your body back in shape, but for now it must rest. If you decide to wait 3 weeks, 3 months, or 3 years, I will love you all the same. Mental health is just as equally important as body health and I want you to remember that. There is no need to stress your pretty self into a frenzy."
She gave you another kiss to your forehead. For the first time in two months, you actually felt happy. You were grateful to have your family, and you intended to shower them with affection as your parents had done to yours.
"Alci?"
"Yes, pet?"
"I'm so glad you still think I'm hot."
Alcina snorted with laughter, "Yes, yes I do."
"Good!" You kissed her lips and her hands. After settling under the covers and turning out the lights, your turned to her.
"Alcina? You are so warm and such a comfort. This is going to be a long journey for me since motherhood is relatively new, but with you and our girls by my side, I can achieve anything. I'm so ready for the long road ahead, no matter what happens!"
Alcina smiled. "Thank you, iubirea mea! Good night, and may sweet dreams find their way to you."
One final kiss, and the two of you drifted off happily and sleepily under the moonlight, dreaming of your upcoming adventures.

Nightmare Material
15+ for graphic descriptions of violence, blood, and gore
can be read as slash or platonic
not proofread
-
“SHUT UP DEKU! OH MY GOD, CAN YOU BE QUIET FOR FIVE FUCKING MINUTES?!”
The common room goes silent.
“Woah, Bakubro, he just asked if you were busy,” Kirishima chuckles nervously.
Katsuki looks over to Deku who, as expected, already has tears welling in his eyes.
“Shitty crybaby, of course I’m busy can’t you fuckin’ see? Go bother someone who cares.”
Deku sniffles like the pathetic little child that he is, and nods, “Ok Kacchan.”
“Fuckin’ annoying ass-” Katsuki mutters, ignoring the glares as he stomps out of the room. Taking the stairs two at a time before slamming the door shut behind him, imagining the flinches of his classmates as he does so.
Fuck that fucking nerd, always looking down at him. Asking him for help on math of all things, when he fuckin’ knows that’s Katsuki’s worst subject. Fuck him.
The little shit shouldn’t even be here, he’s not on Katsuki’s level. Just gonna get himself killed.
After a few minutes of grumbling into his pillow, there’s a knock at Katsuki’s door, followed by a meek, “Blasty?”
He groans dramatically and flops over onto his back, propelling himself up with a few controlled explosions.
“Fuckin’ what-” He swings the door open and comes face to face with the entire idiot squad.
Sero, Kirishima, Mina, and Kaminari all stand in front of him, Sero nervously wringing his hands, Kaminari avoiding eye contact, and Kirishima giving him a look.
Mina steps to the front of them, patting Kirishima’s shoulder as she does so.
“Blasty, you really gotta stop.” She stares him straight in the eyes, not backing down no matter how hard he glares.
“Stop fuckin’ what.”
Kirishima places a hand on Mina’s chest, stalling her step forward into Katsuki’s space. “You know what, Bakugo.”
Katsuki rolls his eyes, “Oh please, like the little shit can’t handle some yelling. I’ve seen discount hot topic make his ears bleed-”
“This isn’t about Jirou. This is about you. You need to sort your shit out.” Sero’s frowning, a rare sight.
“Oh?” Katsuki quirks an eyebrow, “Or what?”
There’s a tense silence before Kaminari sniffs. “Or- or we won’t be your friends anymore!!” He stutters, bottom lip wobbling.
The rest of the group nods, one by one giving him a last glance.
Katsuki stands there for a few minutes, mainly thinking, but also fuming
How dare they treat him like that, like trash. He’s not trash, and he’s not the bad guy. He’s just trying to save Deku before it’s too late. Stupid idiot won’t last a day in the hero business, even with his new freak quirk. All it’s good for is hurting the nerd.
“Stupid Deku and his stupid protection squad, fuckin’ blind idiots.” He grumbles, slamming the door and returning to his lair.
He changes his clothes, resigning himself to finishing his weekend at the gym instead of on next week’s homework.
Bakugo stomps through the common room on the way to their practice room, a few of his classmates shoot him glares but he’s ignored for the most part. Something noticeably purposeful since he’s not exactly being quiet. Even Kirishima refuses to acknowledge his presence.
Yeah, that hurts.
He runs for two hours, lifts for one, and finishes with core for thirty minutes before his post-workout cooldown ritual. Thoroughly satiated and tired to the bone, he heads back to his dorm. Ignored this way too, he doesn’t bother saying goodnight to anyone. Not that he would usually. Not that he misses Ashido’s “Night blasty!!” on his way up the stairs.
He doesn’t give a shit.
He scrubs at his body with his last bits of energy and brushes his teeth half dead on his feet. Exhausted, he flops down on his bed and passes out almost immediately.
Someone’s screaming.
Katsuki lunges toward Shigaraki, whose hand barely grazes Izuku’s neck.
Izuku? When did he ever call the nerd something other than-
“DEKU!!!” Oh, he was the one screaming. He blasts himself forward and pushes Izuku out of the way, his dusted skin flaking off into the breeze as green hair skids to a stop on the ground below.
“Damn BRAT-” Shigaraki mutters, angrily scrunching his hand in mid-air before turning his attention to Katsuki. “YOU.” He points a cracked, pointed finger at Katsuki.
“Yeah, what are you gonna do about it old man?” He snorts, preparing his arms to blast again, he can feel the resistance from his last jump.
“You saved the little shit,” Shigaraki mutters to himself, nails dragging roughly down his neck, “must have a relationship, must be close to my enemy. Must die-”
Katsuki raises his hand, palms crackling in defiance, but he’s geared to go anyway.
Nothing happens.
“Fuck goddamnit!” His one fucking chance to get a drop on the guy and he’s out of juice? Fucking really?!
He’s so caught up in his fury he doesn’t notice the mad glint in the enemy’s eye. The way he smiles brokenly, bloody tongue barely peeking out.
“Poor little hero.” He mutters.
Katsuki jerks his head up just in time to see five fingers inches away from his face.
Well, this was fun.
“KATSUKI-” There’s pressure on his side and he falls, belatedly realizing he was pushed out of the way.
He looks hits the ground hard, hearing the reverberated snap of his ankle as it breaks.
“FALL HERO!! FALL BEFORE ME! YOUR NEW GO-”
Shigaraki falls to the ground as Todoroki whacks him over the head with a piece of rebar.
HIs normally stoic expression is frantic, he’s got fresh tears streaking down his face, and his forehead is covered in dried blood.
He tears his eyes away from the downed villain as Kirishima comes to cuff him, and screams in anguish at the sight of Izuku- Something Katsuki is still trying to wrap his head around.
A startled, almost pained sound escapes Katsuki as he half limps, half runs towards his best friend.
...best friend?
“IZUKU!”
Izuku has long since crumbled to his knees, clutching what remains of the left side of his face. Still slowly crumbling away. Blood pours down his arm and neck, making it difficult to see, but the sight of his eye frantically widening as Katsuki sits next to him is enough.
He removes his hand and sobs, throwing himself onto Katsuki.
“Eih- hgo-” He chokes, blood soaking Katsuki’s own suit as he rocks them both.
“Shh, it’s okay, Izuku.” He whispers, making eye contact with a sobbing Todoroki, who nods in approval.
“Izuku you’re gonna be fine.” The shock has yet to remove itself from Katsuki’s voice, and his words are filled with cracks and sobs, but he hopes it’s what Izuku needs.
“Aa- aah” Izuku’s broken kacchan followed by a fresh flow of blood down Katuski’s neck.
“I love you, Izuku. It’s gonna be alright.”
Izuku whimpers, clutching onto the blond’s neck for dear life.
And then he goes limp.
Katsuki’s eyes bug out, and he pulls Izuku arm’s length away. The gruesome sight that greets him is one he’ll never forget.
Izuku’s left eye hangs loosely down the side of his mangled cheekbone and jaw. Katsuki can see teeth starting to crumble as the decay works its way through his face. His nose is completely exposed, with no flesh left. No cute freckles. No scrunch when he smiles. And his other eye, possibly the worst part, stares lifelessly at Katsuki. The last remnants of tears make their way down his face.
He looks… terrified.
He died scared in the arms of his abuser. Someone who never even apologized to him. For fucking anything. Some vile part of Katsuki reminds him.
He saved me because I couldn’t do my fucking job.
He thrusts Izuku’s lifeless body into Shouto’s arms, who lets out a heartwrenching sob. Katsuki scrambles back, and can vaguely register the sound of pink cheeks vomiting behind him.
“Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck-” becoming increasingly more desperate with each utterance of the word, “FUCK!” Kirishima comes up behind him, picking him off the dust-covered ground and holding him to his chest. “This is all my fault!!!” He wails, “He fucking saved me, I couldn’t- this isn’t right no no NO-”
“Shhhh Katsuki-” Eijirou soothes him through his own tears, always the constant in Katsuki’s life. Well, after Deku.
Deku Deku Deku.
Dead Deku.
Because of you.
Katsuki takes another good look at Deku’s face where Shouto had freaked and discarded him on the ground. The unnatural bend of his arms, the bloody drool escaping his parted- if you can even call that a mouth anymore, his eyes.
And he screams.
He screams and he screams and he screams until someone shakes him so hard he wakes up.
Wait-
“BAKUGO!!! WAKE UP PLEASE-” Shitty hair screams at him, shaking his shoulders desperately as he thrashes in his sheets.
He stills, staring up at Kirishima with a shocked expression.
“Wh-”
“You were having a nightmare,” Kirishima explains, gasping for breath like he just ran a marathon.
Katsuki looks to the doorway where half of the boys in their class stand, expressions varying from worried to shocked.
He looks back at Kirishima, a pitiful whimper escaping his throat, “It- it wasn’t real?”
Katsuki looks to the door, half expecting to see Izuku there.
Missing an ear, you can see his tongue through his cheek.
Katsuki gulps, “Where’s Izuku?” He murmurs into the quiet room.
“Izuku?” Someone in the hallway mutters.
“Uh,” Kirishima catches himself before he can say something dumb, “Izu?- Uh- Midoriya is probably in his room. Didn’t think you’d want him here, but he knows. You kinda woke up the whole dorm.”
Kirishima has barely finished the sentence before he’s jumping out of bed, pajamas be damned, and sprinting toward the stairs. When he gets to Izuku’s floor he makes a hard right, Icyhot shouting something about being nice behind him.
Katsuki can yell at him later.
Running gives him time to think, and the more Katsuki thinks the more he realizes that his nightmare might as well have been a prophecy. Izuku would pull some martyr shit like that, but it was only Katsuki’s fault in the first place that he was put in that situation. He’s the only one to blame. Izuku had done everything right, and Katsuki managed to fuck it up.
Hollow socket, tendons hanging, blood turning his green suit a muddied brown.
Katsuki knocks on the door frantically, scared about what he’ll see when Izuku answers.
There’s some rustling from inside before Izuku peeks out, green curls messy from sleep.
“Wh- I thought Aoyama said you were having a nightmare.” His eyebrows furrow.
“I was,” Katsuki breathes, taking in how whole his rival is. “But it wasn’t real.”
He reaches out hesitantly and brushes an unruly lock of green out of Izuku’s left eye.
“Everything’s where it should be-” He chuckles almost in bewilderment.
He drags his fingers gently down Izuku’s cheek, tracing where the decay had rotted away skin, now whole.
A few of the classmates who followed him gasp in surprise when Katsuki clutches Izuku’s shoulders and buries his face in soft green hair. Completely breaking down as he sobs.
Izuku freezes, terrified of ruining the moment, even though he really wants to ask someone what the fuck is happening.
He gives Kirishima a questioning look as he hesitantly rubs along Katsuki’s back.
The redhead just shrugs.
“I’m sorry Izuku.”
Aaaand the damn breaks.
Izuku sobs as Katsuki clutches him tighter, their friends begin to awkwardly back out of the hallway after witnessing whatever that was.
“Wh- Kacchan?” He pulls away reluctantly, but he needs to see Katsuki’s face.
The blond’s eyes are red and puffy, same as his cheeks, but he’s dead serious.
“I’m so fucking sorry. You don’t deserve any of the shit I put you through, you’re a really good guy.” He heaves in a breath, “And- I know you’ll be a great hero someday.”
“Kacchan… why?”
Katsuki looks away, “I just- thought about some things,” He doesn’t mention that the thinking involved seeing his classmate’s bloodied corpse, “realized how full of myself I am. You really did just want help on that math homework, huh?” He huffs, shaking his head at his past self.
“I did. What else would I have wanted?”
Katsuki sniffs, angrily rubbing at his eyes, “I don’t know, Izuku. I’m a fucking idiot.”
Izuku smiles sadly, “All I’ve ever wanted is to be your friend, Kacchan.
The blond nods, “Yeah, I think I see that now. Can- can we still do that? Be friends?”
Izuku beams, rubbing his own tears away and pulling Katsuki into another tight hug.
“There’s nothing I want more, Katsuki.”

Can I have Saiki fluff
Tumblr media
kusou, let’s sleepover!
(saiki kusou x reader)
<3 note: thank you so much for the request my dear! sorry it took so long i’m in the middle of alot of things right now. but i hope this is ok!
<3 warnings: a small bit of swearing, just fluff.
<3 things to know: gender neutral reader. pink: is saiki’s thoughts, green is saiki talking to the reader through thoughts, black is saiki and reader talking normally. purple is readers thoughts. << it’s a lot i’m sorry!!
Tumblr media
you and saiki have been dating for three months on this saturday and the time has flown by! another thing that’s flown is how quick he got comfortable around you, having an arm around your shoulder while watching movies and even holding your pinkie when you go shopping. in school he always looked so reserved and kept to himself, that’s what drew you to him though. and when you found an envelope with a letter in your shoe locker telling you to meet them at the local park later on, you felt like turning them down cause you liked saiki!. but something, you don’t know what, but something was telling you that you need to go. and low and behold stood kusou saiki with his head down asking if you wanted to go to the local café this weekend. and obviously you said yes!
3 months later and were in the same café scoffing down some coffee jelly and (fav. food). you brought him here because you wanted to ask him something important. to have a sleepover for your anniversary! honestly, you were scared to ask him, what if he completely shoots you down? god that would be embarrassing. but all your friends and their partners have slept over together countless times. okay, no more delaying do it now while he’s in his element.
“ku? can i as-” “don’t call me that, it reminds me of my mom remember” “oh sorry sorry i forgot! anyway umm i was wondering if, for our you know, anni..versary if you’d like to uh sleepover?” when you look up to see his reaction is eyes are wide and he’s slightly coughing on his coffee jelly. ‘shit, i killed him’. you thought. “it’s okay if you don’t want to i understand we can do something else!” “no!” he slightly yelled. “i mean.. yeah i’d like to do that”. “y-you do? i mean, yeah that’s good! i was thinking saturday?” “yeah that’s sounds good, by the way, can we do it at your house? my parents are too annoying” his genuine cringe at the thought made you laugh. “of course we can, we can do different things throughout the night to! we could.. order a takeout, then watch a movie with lots of sweets, then maybe, just maybe do paint our nails or do some karaoke” the last one is just to see his reaction knowing how much he dislikes karaoke. “i’m not to fond of that last one, but the rest sound fun” ‘maybe this would be nice, i shouldn’t think that it won’t be’.
the week went quickly thankfully and you walked to meet saiki on midday saturday with a spring in your step. “kusou!” your slightly raised voice caught his attention causing him to turn his head in your direction and make his way to your approaching form. without thinking you pulled him into a hug in the middle of the street. “oh sorry i should’ve asked before i did that!” he pulled away first smoothing out your skirt that rode up telling you: “it’s fine don’t worry about it so much, let’s go” and taking your pinky and linking it with his. looking at the side of his face you took in his handsome features and how nice he looked in his outfit. it was a purple sweater with black flames and blue jeans you got him.he wasn’t to fond of it at first but seeing how excited you were to give it to him he eventually broadened his style.
you both wanted to meet in the town so you could buy the sweets, drinks and facemasks for tonight and then get the takeout on the way home. there wasn’t many people out, they’re probably all at home it’s dinner time anyway. looking down at saiki’s hand you noticed the ring on his pointer finger he always wears when he’s with you. “kusou? where did you get your ring it’s so nice!, i might try find a different colour one for myself” “it was, a gift, yes a gift”. conversations carried on as normal as they day bled into the evening and you both left the shopping district with two bags full of the essentials. the final stop of the day was the local chinese you both enjoyed eating from and you got your food given to you nice and quickly.
arriving at your door you opened it and placed the bags on the kitchen table to give your poor hands a rest. “could you get the bowls for the sweets for me and sort them out while i dish up kusou?” “of course”. dinner was really nice the both of you talking when your mouths weren’t full about things that happend and every few minutes you’d show him a funny tiktok you’d seen that he’d actually huff out a laugh at, but covered it up with a cough saying that “it’s silly”. ever the gentleman he helped you wash and dry the dishes before following your skipping figure to the living room to plop on the couch and randomly picked a movie out. ‘ah a horror’ ‘good grief of course a horror’.
the movie was actually quite scary giving the both of you a few scares the whole way through. you didn’t want to be forward and do the usual ‘curl into your partners side’ when it got scary, but your body moved on it’s own and you were clutching his lower arm and holding his bicep slightly over your eyes. ‘hmm cute’. as the end credits rolled you let out a breath and let your iron grip on his arm to stretch your own above your head. “that wasn’t that scary, it barely got me” “yeah, my dead arm says otherwise” “oh shush smart ass!” you turned to his smirking figure to land a slap on the said arm. “ouch! careful it’s sore” “awe poor ku-chan has a sore arm hm? want me to kiss it better for you baby?” “never ever let them words leave your mouth around me again”. his disgust had you throwing your head back and clapping your hands together in a laughing fit.
it just turned 10:03pm and the two of you were sitting crossed legged on your bed. you had saiki’s hand on a pillow on your lap trying to apply the green nail polish to his nails without messing up. finishing both hands you picked them up and held them in front of his face to show him the four green nails and one pink on the middle finger of each hand. yours were the same except you had the green on your middle and the rest pink. “well what d’ya think? nice aren’t they?” “mmh, thank you”.
a few hours past of playing a game of monopoly, in which kusou completely dominated, watching your guys favourite youtuber play scary games and then watch a few episodes of the show you both liked. the time was 1:54am when the pair of you let out a yawn at the same time ending in a small laugh. deciding it was time to sleep you let saiki get changed in the toilet down the hall while you stayed in your room till he came back to tell you it was okay to come brush your teeth. “kusou, do you want some water? i’m getting some for myself” “oh, yeah please (y/n)”. he was left alone to look at the four walls of your bedroom. he wasn’t really being nosy, he was just curious. wait, how could he just have now noticed? there’s no spare blanket or futon. we’re you going to share a bed? ‘i mean, i’m not opposed to the idea, i wonder if they realised as well’.
“here you go! sorry i took so long” “don’t worry you’re fine”. “oh yeah i was gonna ask, do you want to sleep on the floor or we can share my bed, it’s a double one so we won’t be squished” “i don’t mind sharing as long as your comfortable” ‘why is he so sweet and caring!’. “i’m turning the lights off is that ok?” “yeah it’s fine, don’t let the monster get you though” he said while digging his fingers into your side when you jumped back on the bed. “whaa! agh don’t scare me like that!, meanie”.
you couldn’t really sleep after you said your goodnights, you were tired but seeing him look so relaxed while lying on his side facing you made you feel wide awake. the urge to place a small kiss on his lips was killing you, but you just couldn’t bring yourself to. ‘what if he’s fake sleeping? god he’ll think i’m a freak.’ no you could tell by the way his breathing was soft and lips slightly parted that he was definitely out for the count. before you could react you were leaning forward to place a small, quick, but sweet kiss on his pink lips. ‘oh my god why did i just do that, why did i jus-‘ “kissing me in my sleep? you didn’t strike me as the type (y/n)”. “you’re awake?! why are you fake sleeping?” “why are you kissing me hm?” “c-cause i wanted to!” you said sticking your tongue out. “well i never said i was mad, i just wish i could’ve been awake” “you were awake jackass” “nope i was sleeping, counting sheep if you will” “oh you got jokes now huh?” “i always have jokes i’ll have you know” “just go back to dream land then funny guy” turning over to have your back facing him you closed your eyes until you felt the mattress behind you dip and a soft breath by your ear. “not even a ‘goodnight kusou’ how cruel”. tired of his silly antics your turn halfway to be met with his face above yours. pulling him down to lightly press another peck on his lips you whispered: “goodnight kusou”. before turning fully the other way and snuggled into his chest. you don’t know where the sudden confidence came from but it felt nice to have the stoic kusou saiki cuddled up in your bed with his arms around your middle and a light blush dusting his cheeks. “goodnight (y/n)” was the last thing you heard before the clouds of dreams took over you.

Hi Again! I was wondering if you wrote for the clones? (I'm thirsting for Wolffe!!) If not, that's ok! And if so, I thought maybe something fluffy and a bit hot with Wolffe? I'm a huge sucker for the trope- Reader tries to hide that she hasn't been feeling well and turns out she's pregnant? With twins! She's scared because even though they're committed, it wasn't planned? And then fluff and some love making?? <3333
Hi lovely, welcome back! I am open to writing for the clones, I just haven’t done so yet! I too thirst for Commander Wolffe so you’re in luck! This trope is def very cute, the end turned out more fluffy than spicy, I hope that's alright.
Commander Wolffe x fem!reader Rating: E (18+) Warnings: explicit sexual content, unprotected p in v sex, unplanned pregnancy, swearing (first time writing for Wolffe, may be slightly ooc)
[PART TWO]
Tumblr media
There was never enough time. You really should not have been surprised by the revelation, you were at war, but it still sat heavy on your chest. Always needed elsewhere as soon as you completed a mission. Never time to rest, even in transit. Someone always needed your attention for reports, strategic planning or council meetings as the GAR cruiser hurtled through hyperspace. It never left you enough time for him. Thankfully, the stubborn nature of your clone commander allowed him to make time, even if just a spare moment, for the two of you.
“Oh fuck,” you throw your head back against the door as he reaches that spot deep inside you. Pushing you ever closer to the edge. “Wolffe, please-” you’re whining as he grinds up into you, throbbing inside you. He’s always had the uncanny ability to read your body, he knows better than you when you’re close to bliss and he enjoys drawing it out. To think Commander Wolffe was a fucking tease.
“Please what, cyare?” His smug grin slides across your chest following the trail of marks he’s littered across your skin where no one will see. “What does ner jetii need?”
“Please, ‘m so close,” you tighten your legs around his waist, trying to draw him in closer, anything to reach your release, “please, Wolffe!”
He groans into your neck as you tug at the curls fallen loose at the nape of his neck, “well when you ask so nicely, cyare.”
His sudden thrust up pushes the air from your lungs. Your mouth falls open in a silent scream as he pounds into you, all teasing forgotten. He’s relentless as you tighten around him, the coil in your belly threatening to snap.
“That’s it,” he grunts, “come on my cock ner jetii.”
His words and his gloved thumb brushing over your bundle of nerves has you falling apart around him. White hot pleasure rolls over you, leaving you a limp, moaning mess in Wolffe’s arms.
“That’s it, mesh’la. Squeezing me so kriffing tight,” he groans, hips stuttering, his own release fast approaching. “Fuck.” Wolffe manages a few more thrusts before he buries himself in you, spilling himself inside you. Whispered praises fall from his lips as he comes down from his own high. His lips ghost over yours in a chaste kiss as he withdraws, tucking himself away before he lets you down.
Your legs cry out in relief when they meet solid ground, not longer clinging to Wolffe for support.
“Good, cyare?” his hand sweeps over your brow, so tender for a man with such a fierce reputation, even amongst his brothers.
“Mhmm,” leaning into his touch, he chuckles at your blissed out expression.
“Someone’s bound to come looking for you soon, General. Let’s get you cleaned up.” You don’t protest as he helps you redress, though you do moan about how unfair it was he just had to remove his codpiece and you had to strip completely out of your robes for these little storage closet rendezvous’.
“I don’t think jedi robes were designed to allow for easy access, cyare.”
You pout, “you’re probably right.” There was that whole bit about no attachments you were blatantly ignoring after all.
Before the commander can come back with another sharp retort your commlink blinks to life. “Yes?”
“General, General Plo is looking for you on the bridge.”
You sigh, “thank you, Sinker. I’ll be right there.”
Never enough time.
.
The next couple of months continue much the same. You and Wolffe sneaking away between missions when you can, trying to find solace in each other despite all the horrors you both see on the battlefield. In a war that seems to stretch on forever he is your rock. As he watches his brothers fall, one after the other, you are his comfort. It breaks your heart to be apart from him but there is little you can do to control it. When the council requests you to join Obi-wan and Anakin for a series of missions you cannot object. Instead, you drag your tired self out to the far reaches of the outer rim to help them as best you can.
“You look exhausted, my dear.” Such tact this one possessed.
You roll your eyes, “you don’t look much better, Kenobi.” Though you doubt he has been waking in the middle of the night to empty the contents of his stomach like you have for the past week.
“This war does seem to be pushing us all to our limits.”
“I’ll race you!” Ahsoka sprints by, apparently headed for some target or another with her master hot on her heels.
“Snips!”
Cody chuckles under his bucket, shaking his head as the two disappear into the distance.
Obi-Wan scrubs a hand over his face, “it’s pushed most of us to our limits.”
“What I wouldn’t give to have the energy of a padawan again,” you groan.
“I agree wholeheartedly,” Obi-wan nods, “we should all try to get some rest while we can. We need to break camp near dawn.”
You agree and bid your fellow jedi an early goodnight. With the headache you could feel coming on, sleep sounded like a good idea. As you go to stand the world spins around you, any sense of balance you had gone. You reach for the crate you had been sitting on to try and stay upright but you miss by a mile. Knees giving out you collapse to the floor, the world around you still spinning. You can barely hear Cody shouting over the ringing in your ears.
“Call for a medic! The General’s collapsed!”
.
By the time you regain consciousness you’re no longer planet side. Obi-wan had been quick to have you medevacked to the closest med-station for testing. The unholy white lights of the station burn your eyes when you finally come to. Your sudden groaning draws Kix back to your bedside.
“General. Good to see you’re back with us.”
“Kix?” You try to focus on the 501st medic instead of the bright lights, “what happened?”
“You collapsed back at the forward camp. We weren’t able to determine what was wrong with the limited medical supplies we had on hand, so General Kenobi called an air lift for you.”
Another groan bubbles up, Obi-wan had been forced to waster precious resources on you. “Were you able to find out what’s wrong?”
The clone’s face falls, “yes.”
You’ve never heard the medic sound so meek before. “Kix?”
“I’m not sure what’s the best way to explain this, General… but you’re pregnant.”
Oh.
Oh.
“H-how far along?”
“Looks like just over two months,” Kix shifts from foot to foot, pointedly not looking you in the eye. You can’t blame him for being uncomfortable, this isn’t quite the medicine he’d been expecting to practice. He was a combat medic not an obgyn. “We were able to get an ultrasound, would you like to see?”
Nodding, you sit up, your head now spinning for completely different reasons. Kix brings you a datapad displaying the grainy black and white image.
“Kix… am I seeing this right?”
“Yes, general.”
“There’s two…”
“Yes general. You’re having twins.”
Oh fuck.
.
Kix is a godsend, having worked with Anakin and Rex long enough to know reporting everything may not always be a good idea. The official report on your sudden collapse reads that you suffered from a foreign infection your body had not been prepared to fight, coupled with the battle fatigue, your body had shut down in order to force you to rest. Obi-wan and the council believe it, ordering you back to Coruscant to recover and rest. You knew you would have to tell them; it would not be long until you were showing, but you would much rather deal with the council in person than from your medbay bed.
Before your escort arrives, Kix slips you a disk with a copy of the ultrasound pictures, “in case there’s someone you want to show them to.”
“Thank you, Kix,” he blushes when you give him a quick peck on the cheek, “you’ve done more for me than you’ll ever know.”
You do your best to rest on your trip back to Coruscant but its incredibly difficult when your mind is going a parsec a minute. Besides the council there’s one other person you have to break the news to. While you two had talked about what life would be like for the two of you after the war, this was not something you had discussed. You were not sure if Wolffe wanted kids ever, let alone now. Having twins while the whole galaxy was at war was not ideal. Not when the two of you were expected to put your lives on the line for the Republic.
Panic washes over you when you arrive at the capital to find the wolfpack waiting for you on the tarmac. They’d just arrived back for some long overdue shore leave and Plo had informed them of your sudden illness. Normally you would be touched by how much they cared for you, but now all you can think about is how you are not ready to face Wolffe. Not yet.
You can feel his gaze heavy on your back as you field Sinker and Boost’s barrage of questions.
“I’ll be alright, I just need to take my medicine and get some rest. It shouldn’t be long before I’m right as rain again.” You hate lying to them, but you did not want them worrying unnecessarily either.
It seems to appease them; the pack wishes you well and invites you out to 79’s with them as soon as you’re recovered. Wolffe hangs back, watching his brothers go.
“I’ll walk you back, general.”
“No.” It comes out much harsher than you’d like. The surprise that washes over his face feels like a stab to your gut. “There’s no need, Commander. I’ll be alright.”
His voice drops, brow furrowed together, “cyare?”
“Not now, Wolffe,” you frown, “I just need to go lay down. We’ll talk later.”
But you don’t. You cannot find it in yourself to answer any of his calls or messages over the next few days. Instead, you wrap yourself up in as many blankets as possible and hole up in your quarters while you try to figure out what to do. You watch Coruscant go by from your window. It’s only when Sinker and Boost call that you’re freed from running around in circle inside your head.
“Boost? Sinker? What’s going on?”
“Oh thank goodness you’re alive, General!”
“Boost what are you going on about?”
“The Commanders been going crazy! He hasn’t heard from you in over a week and we don’t think he knows how to handle it!”
Although you and Wolffe did your best to keep your relationship hidden, in such tight quarters it was hard to keep it from Wolffe’s brothers. You’d never outright admitted it to them, but you figured they understood what was going on. You were glad for it now.
“I’ve seen him pace before, but never like this,” Sinker adds.
Oh Maker. “Where is he?”
“The barracks, General.”
“I… I’ll speak with him, alright? Hopefully that will calm him down.”
“Thank you, General! We were running out of ways to distract him!” That was the kind way of saying ways to annoy him to keep Wolffe’s mind off you.
“Thank you, Boost, Sinker.”
“Good luck, General!”
You were going to need it. This was not a conversation to have over the com so you make your way down to the barracks, doing your best to avoid attention when you can. It was not like you weren’t allowed there, but the last thing you needed was more questions.
Boost and Sinker were not lying about the pacing. Punching in the access code to his quarters reveals a tightly wound Wolffe, pacing back and forth across the length if the tight space. His armor has been haphazardly discarded around the room. You’re surprised he hasn’t worn a path into the floor yet.
“General?” Surprise and then relief fall over his face when he catches you standing in the doorway.
“Wolffe, I-”
“What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be resting.”
You’re thrown off by the sudden cold tone in his voice. “I-I came to explain, Wolffe… to apologize.”
“Apologize?”
“I’ve been avoiding you Wolffe,” your voice cracks despite your best efforts to remain calm, “and I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have, I just needed to find a way to tell you and I couldn’t.”
His frown deepens, “tell me what?”
“That I’m pregnant.”
“What?” He looks at you live you’ve grown another head.
“I’m pregnant, Wolffe.”
It takes him a moment to wrap his mind around your words, but you can see the instant he does, his mouth dropping into an ‘o’ as his jaw falls slack.
“You’re pregnant? With my… with my baby?”
“Babies,” you correct.
His brain seems to sputter out again, “babies?”
You nod, “twins.”
Before you can blink, he’s got you wrapped up in his arms, spinning you around the room. “Twins. You’re having twins.”
It takes everything you have not to start bawling. Kriffing hormones. You’ve never seen Wolffe this happy. This was beyond any reaction you could have imagined. The awe on his face when he sets you down makes your heart melt.
“This is why you were sent back? Your sudden illness?”
“Well yes… but Kix’s report was that I had an infection. I wanted to talk to your first before anyone else. I just didn’t know how.”
His warm hand oh-so-gently cups the side of your face. You lean into the touch. After even just a few weeks apart you’re starving for him.
“Why were you worried, cyare?”
“We’d never talked about kids. And we’re in the middle of a war. Not to mention we’re not even supposed to be together on the first place… I didn’t know how you’d react…”
His face softens, his amber eye drifting down to your nonexistent bump. “I’ll admit, I’m surprised. It may not be how either of us hoped, but it is a pleasant surprise.”
“Really?”
“Really, cyare.” You cannot help but smile as he pulls you in for a kiss. His lips slanting against your own as he holds you close. “I know there may be somethings we need to work out, but we’ll take it one step at a time,” he murmurs against your lips, hands tracing patterns across your back. “We’ll figure it out together.”

“About you”
Tumblr media
Tom Hiddleston x Reader
General audiences
Warnings: None
You and Tom have been friends for a while, and even though you have a huge crush on him, nothing’s ever going to happen between you. You would know, you tried. He just doesn’t see you that way. Or does he? 
“Maybe if I ask you why don’t tell me, I won’t try hard enough…
I refuse to give it up, my lady” 
About you - Hola a todo el mundo
MY MASTERLIST
‘Hurry up, y/n, we’re gonna be late’ Your best friend, Mary, pulled out your earbuds, effectively pulling you out of your musings.
'I’m coming, I’m coming!’ You replied, walking faster after her. You ajusted your earpods and your coat firmer around you, not that it did any good. Why did you decide to wear a dress on such a cold night? Probably for the same reason you had accepted to go out on the first place. That reason was currently standing just a few yards away from you, waiting for you girls outside the station and looking down at his phone: Tom William Perfect Hiddleston. Blonde hair, dreamy eyes and a smile that could melt glaciers. Always kind, always funny, always dangerously charming. He looked up and met your eyes, and that aforementioned smile took over his face, warming you up inside. Huh. Seemed you were right about those glaciers after all. Feeling the heath creep up your cheeks, you couldn’t help to smile back.
'Seb! Oh my gosh it’s so good to see you! We missed you so much!’ You heard Mary say and took your eyes off of Tom’s. Seb, Tasha and Nick, the rest of your group of friends, were already there as well. Apparently you had been too busy staring at Tom to notice. You wished you could say that had never happened before, but sadly it was quite a common occurrence.
'Seb, you look great. New York did you good!’ You stood on your tip toes to be able to hug your much taller friend.
'Darling, you look gorgeous as ever!’, Seb replied, holding you tight to him. Over his shoulder you thought you saw a flash of something crossing Tom’s face, but it was gone as soon as it got there and you wondered if maybe it was just your overactive imagination, always looking for signs that weren’t there.
'Well well, that’s enough, let her go, you’re going to end up smothering her’ Tom reproached jokingly, placing a hand on Seb’s right shoulder and he let go of you.
'Ok, now that everyone has had their fill of dear Sebastian here’, Mary suggested 'what do you guys say if we actually get into the underground station so we can get going and maybe make it to the play on time for a change?’
You did exactly that and soon the six of you were packed into a carriage full of people. Mary and you got seats and Seb stayed close to you, but Tom and Nick ended up on the other side of the coach. You weren’t sure where Tasha was. You turned up your music but after a couple of minutes, Mary was tugging at your earphones one more time.
'Tom is staring at you’, She whispered conspiratiorially, 'Again.’
'You’re delusional’ You replied without lifting your eyes.
'I am not such thing!’, Mary insisted 'Why do you think he’s even here, taking the tube with us? He does have a car, you know’
You made a face, you hated that car. It was ostentatious and flashy and always calling the wrong kind of attention. Namely, the attention of shallow and plastic looking women who threw themselves at the car’s owner. But then again, as far as you knew, he maybe even enjoyed that.
'Maybe he feels like drinking tonight and doesn’t want to have to worry about driving’ Was your nonchalant response.
'Oh, please! He never drinks. Not more than exactly one beer.’
'Maybe he will tonight!’
'That’s not it and you know it! Sebastian, back me up here!’
'Oh, would you look at that! Tash has found a seat. I’ll go ask her if I can sit on her lap’ And with that, he was gone.
’… Coward.’
'Seriously, Mary, would you just let it go? Please?’ You pleaded, resting your head on the cold glass of the window, felling suddenly very tired.
'Ok, hun, this isn’t like you. Tell me what is going on?’
'Just drop it, please. He doesn’t like me that way,’ you said weakly, trying not to let the hurt show in your voice.
'And how would you know that?’
You finally took your earphones off and turned to face her.
'Because,’ You looked at your best friend in the eyes and confessed 'I have already asked him out’
Her face immediately fell and for the first time, she was left without words. It took a few moments for her to ask, really softly,
'And he said no?’
'He said yes’
’…I’m sorry, I’m not sure I’m following, you’re going to have to explain’
You sight deeply, you didn’t really wanted to remember that night. The memory of it still brought tears to your eyes. However, you swallow hard and tried to relate your story through the knot in your throat.
'Remember that night last summer when I dragged you guys to see that band with me, Louden Swain?’
'The one with the hot singer, yeah.’
You shook your head. Trust Mary to forget what she had eaten for dinner, but to recall the hot musician from three months ago.
'Anyway, remember how you guys all had something to do the next day, because it was Thursday night and you all left as soon as the show was over?’
You waited for her to nod before you went on 'Well, Tom and I stayed behind, so I ask him if he would like to have a beer with me. And we went to a pub near by…’ You trailed off remembering that night, how Tom would throw his head back laughing at something you said and everything felt just so natural, so easy.
'And? What happened then?’ Mary urged you on.
'We talked, we laughed, we had a nice time. It was… Just like we always are. He was my friend Tom. He didn’t flirt. He never tried to make a move.
“He’s Tom, he’s shy! And he’s a gentleman, he wouldn’t try to…’
'Mary,’ you cut her off 'I’ve seen him with women, being all smooth talk and debonair. He just wasn’t like that with me. After the pub, he walked me home and when we got to the door, he hugged me goodnight. He hugged me’
You sighed deeply, and blinked hard trying to get rid of the sting in your eyes.
'Maybe he got nervous…’ But she sounded unsure. You looked at her, trying to will her to understand. You wished for the thousand time you were like her, guys just seemed to gravitate towards her wherever she went. And why wouldn’t they? She was beautiful, funny and moved with confidence, always knew what to wear or how to do her make up. You weren’t like that at all.
She fell silent after that and eventually, you pulled your phone out to turn your music on again, but found you had a new text from Seb.
She’s right tho, you know
It was all it said. You turned around looking for him and finally spotted him a couple seats farther back, with Tasha firmly on his lap, seemingly completely at home there. 
What do you mean?
You sent to him. A few seconds later, your phone chimed again with his reply.
Tom has a crush on you
You stared at those six words an embarrassingly long time before your brain started working again. When it did, you typed,
Not you too. It’s not like that. You guys just don’t know.
This time, his response took a little longer to arrive.
About the time you guys went out after that show and how he froze and didn’t kiss you at the door when he should have? Yes I know, he told me everything about it. In. Excruciating. Detail. And about how you didn’t call him the next day or the day after. He sulked 'bout it for weeks.
Seb was still typing when you interrupted the rest of his tirade with
I thought the guy was supposed to do that
He started typing again and soon you got another text, this one exasperated.
ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?? For all your talk about feminism and equality and empowerment he thought if you still liked him YOU would call HIM. He thinks you friendzoned him that night.
Your obnoxious answer was
He never made a move
You looked over at Seb just in time to see him rub his face with his hand in frustration before texting
Not every guy needs to go for the kill on the first date you know? Some of them actually care about more than sex. There are some gentleman left out there.
You caught his eye as he placed his big hand on Tasha’s naked tigh. He winked at you and sent
Not me, tho. I’m a pig
That made you laugh out loud.
You looked out the window and saw there was only two more stations left before Picadilly. You were almost there. Your phone ringed with another text from Seb again.
Go on, you. Prove me wrong. Ask him out.
You bit your lip and looked at Tom, apparently deep in conversation with Nick. Not even the ugly fluorescent lights from the tube could make him look bad. It was unfair, really. You took a deep breath and before you got nervous and changed your mind you text him
Wanna do something together after the play?
You saw as he felt his phone vibrate and opened your text. His face lit up with the big, boyish smile that you adored. He bit his own lip and raised his eyes to meet yours through the crowded carriage and as his expression softened you were finally sure that your friends had been right all along. Because he was looking at you like you were everything that existed in that moment. There was no carriage, no crowd, not anything. It was just the two of you.
Anything you want, I’m yours
A text message wasn’t supposed to leave you breathless. But sure damn it did.Not to be bested, you sent back
What I want is for you to kiss me goodnight this time
There. There was no mistaking now, that wasn’t a "you’re my friend” kind of text. You literally couldn’t make it any clearer to him.
The train came to a stop and you had to get off, so he couldn’t answer. But as soon as you reached the stairs, you felt him entwine his fingers with yours.
And as soon as you got out the station and into the street, you felt him tug on your hand hard, making you turn around and crash into his waiting mouth. That’s when the world really stoped. That’s when everything truly disappeared. The dark, loud, bussy streets suddenly went pitch black and silent.
It was as if you had never been kissed before. As if you had never felt soft lips pressing on yours, nibbling them, coaxing them open, warm breath mixing with yours, big hands cupping your cheeks carefully, delicately, a tentative tongue licking your parted lips… All too soon it was over, but he didn’t let go of you just yet, and you didn’t try to get away. It was like gravity, there was no resisting it. He finally rested his forehead on yours and whispered against your mouth
'How about I just kiss you hello?’
The end.
This was the very first fice I ever wrote, back in 2018 and I realized I never posted here. Such a trip through memory lane! i hope you didn’t find this too cringey, cuz it will always hold a special place in my heart💖

Seven Amazing Chapter’s of Wolfstar Raising Harry Are Out
(dear followers, if any of you are harry potter fans could you reblog this, I have a very hard time having my fics getting notice on tumblr, thank you guys so much.)
Here is a sneak-peak at the seventh chapter:
‘I have a crib for Harry, he should really get back to sleep, but after that I’m going to stay up for Sirius. Is that ok with you Sir? Ma’am?’
‘Yes, you can set up the crib tonight in the guest room. Andromeda will get blackest ready for the couch. I’ll show you the way.’
‘Thank you, Edward is it?’
‘Yes, Edward Tonks. I was a Gryffindor seventh year when you were a first year.’
‘Oh yes.’
Edward lead him to the guest room. It wasn’t huge but it was for bigger then the bedroom the Dursley’s stuck Harry and then in. Edward put the two boxes down and Remus used magics to quickly reconstruct the crib and put the blankets and stuffed animals back. Remus gently picked up Harry and put the toddler in the bed.
‘Goodnight Fawny. I love you.’
‘Love you Moony.’
The Tonks’ then went to bed, but Remus sat on the made-up coach for a little under two hours, waiting. Ten after midnight Remus could hear the sound of a motorcycle landing outside. He went to the door and opened it.
‘How did it go with the landlord?’
Sirius took off him helmet, tired Remus couldn’t help but admire how attractive that made him look. He shook it off and levitated the rest of the boxes in the side car into the house.
‘Thanks. No, he didn’t want to end our lease, I managed to get us out of it. I also filed a report stating that this is now our permanent residence so no one thinks we are homeless and takes Harry away.’
‘That’s good thinking.’
‘Yeah, I had a lot of time these past couple days to do that.’
Remus hated how much it kept happening, but they were once again stuck in silence. It hurt almost more than the fight they had, and Remus couldn’t take it anymore. Calmly he put the boxes down.
‘Sirius, first I want to say how grateful I am you found us a solution. Second I want to talk about what happened, I want all cards on the table and figure out where we both now stand, but not tonight. It’s late and if we start now it might end in disaster again, so let’s wait until we are well rested, ok?’
‘Ok.’
‘Did Andromeda show you the guest room?’
‘Yes.’
‘Then I’ll see you tomorrow. Goodnight Sirius.’
‘Goodnight...Remus?’
‘Yes?’
To see how the conversation ends read here or here.

Forever In Your Arms
“I scraped my knee and now you’re fixing it up and I swear if you don’t stop running your hands over my leg, I will kick you.”
Wattpad Link
Ámbar stormed out of the Jam and Roller. Furious was an understatement for how she was feeling. “No Ámbar, wait,” Simón yelled chasing after her. “For what. So you can tell me it was my fault and that I was the one to blame.” Simon was able to catch up to her and took a hold of her arm so she could stop. She turned around facing him this time and pushed her arm out of his hand. She pursed her lips in anger and barely wanted to see his face. 
“Look Ambar I wasn’t trying to accuse you. I was only trying to ask if you were the one who took Luna’s lucky keychain. Sometimes we take things by accident.”
“Oh please Simón you know that’s a lie what you’re saying right now. You did accuse me of stealing it. Nobody just takes things by accident and you automatically assumed I purposely stole it. Look I know I’ve done bad things in the past but I have changed and I thought you saw that too but it turns out I was wrong.”
Simón began to stutter seeing Ámbar’s eyes water. “No no no I don’t doubt for a second you have changed ok. I was only curious that’s all. The keychain wasn’t appearing anywhere and you didn’t say a single word after Luna told us about it.”
Ámbar bit her lip holding back the tears. She didn’t say anything all day but for a reason. A reason she wasn’t comfortable to say yet. “Simón you can’t quickly assume it was me just because I stayed quiet in a conversation. That is a pity excuse and I thought you knew me very well and would have noticed I haven’t said a word all day before that conversation happened. But I was wrong, you don’t know me. All I am to you is some girl you imagine me to be. A vision of the perfect woman but you still linger onto the doubt that I haven’t changed.” Ámbar turns around and leaves clenching the strap of her shoulder back. The tears were slowly coming out now. She didn’t mean to say all of those harsh things to Simón cause she knows he truly does love her but she felt it was best and that he deserved it. He shouldn’t have assumed she would do something like that after she has numerously proved that she has changed for good. Out of all the people in the world, it had to be him who doubted her. When that thought settled in at that moment, the pain couldn’t escape her lungs. 
Simón with his head down ambled to the Jam and Roller. There, Luna immediately greeted him. “Simón what happened? I saw you chasing after Ámbar, how did it go?” Simón scratching his head replied, “Horrible. It was the worst. And to be honest I deserved it. What was I thinking to question Ámbar is if she did it? I should’ve trusted her. She changed to become a better person for good and I, the idiot, doubted her. Now I don’t know what to do. She probably doesn’t ever want to see me again.” Luna didn’t know what to say or do other than hug him. 
After a two minute silent hug, Luna broke free from his arms and said, “Look it’s going to take Ambar some time to forgive you but I know she will cause she loves you and knows you love her, but you will have to demonstrate that to her these upcoming days.”
“Like how? How can I be able to erase my act of stupidity from existence.”
Luna giggles. “Yes it was very stupid what you did but we’re all human and the important thing is you learned from your mistakes. You won’t be able to erase that moment from existence since that’s not possible but like I said you can truly show her that you are sincerely sorry and really do love her.”
“But the real question is how do I do that?” Simón being frustrated now.
Luna pauses for a second to think. “Well there are many ways you can show your love for Ámbar. You can write her a song, you can surprise her with a gift, or you can hire a mariachi band to sing to her how sorry you are.” Luna then nudged Simon’s arm and he let out a little chuckle. 
“Luna, Mariachi bands may have been able to save us many times but I don’t think it can save me this time. Tú Carcel isn’t that powerful either so don’t even think about it.”
Luna then frowned and jokingly said, “Simón, how dare you disrespect our song that way. Ámbar probably wasn’t singing it that day but I can guarantee you, she was singing it in her head.” 
“No but I really blew it this time Luna. I doubted her and lost all of her trust after everything we have gone through together.”
Luna froze for a second. She hasn’t seen Simón so disheartening in ages. “Look Simón, what you did was wrong but you can’t give up on love so easily. Plus, we’re all human and bound to make mistakes. Eventually she will understand and forgive you.”
Simón rapidly took his hands out of his face to now cover his mouth in shock. “No no no I’m so stupid!”
“Well you definitely can be at times but I thought we already cleared up that topic since you came back here.”
“No it’s that I forgot to apologize. The whole time I was too busy trying to find excuses that I forgot to tell her I was sorry,” Simón stuttered.
“Then what are you waiting for, do it now!” Luna demanded.
“I can't, it's too late already and I’m in charge of closing up the Jam and Roller today,” Simón whined.
“Well then you’ll do it first thing in the morning.”
~~~~
Ámbar slammed the door shut behind her. Her anger lingered around the air, ever since she entered the mansion, like strong perfume. Everyone in the house noticed the vibe and felt it was best to leave her alone. Well almost everyone. She paraded around her room scrambling for her journal. She had officially decided for a month now to let out her anger in a journal. She felt like this coping mechanism was easier to work with than her mirror sessions. She had a precise plan laid out. She would write down her feelings, rip the page out of her notebook and stick it into the paper shredder. The paper shredder was a better choice than doing it by hand so no one would even be able to tape back the pieces. 
Right when she finally found her journal and a pen to use, she heard a knocking at the door. “Who could it possibly be now,” Ámbar agitated wondered. Ambar got up from the covers and annoyingly turned the knob of her door. Her face quickly changed when she saw it was Monica there. “Hi Ámbar. I wanted to tell you goodnight before you went to bed.”
“Was that all you wanted to tell me cause it seems like there’s more.” Ámbar sounded more irritated than what she meant it to be. She sincerely was curious but found it hard to show it.
“Well you appeared upset ever since you came and it made me worried. Since I am a mom, maybe I can help. It’s ok you can talk to me… or not whichever is your choice just know I’ll always be here.”
Ámbar now stared at the floor, contemplating what to say next. The only other person she felt a little more comfortable with when opening up, other than Simon, was surprisingly Luna’s mom. She always wished ever since she was little to have somebody there to talk to and listen to her, no matter how stupid or unimportant the topic may have sounded.
“I guess you can come in.”
Monica slowly took a few steps into Ámbar’s room. At the time Ámbar didn’t realize Monica was carrying something till now. She took out a tray of delicacies from her behind and placed them on the coffee table. There was a cup of milk, a plate of chocolate chip cookies, and a bowl of precisely cut fruit. They were in the shape of little stars. Ámbar couldn’t stop but stare at the food.
“I already ate dinner,” Ámbar coldly stated.
“I know you have but you forgot dessert. I brought you some options so you can pick what you like. I even cut up the fruit into little stars since I know that’s your favorite shape.”
“You do?!!”
“Of course I do. I remember you once said it in a conversation we had at the dinner table.”
Ámbar couldn’t help but get a little teary-eyed. No one has ever put this much effort for her. In fact no one has ever known her favorite shape was a star, not even her best friends Delfi and Jazmin. It’s her favorite ship since it reminds her of the birthmark she has at the side of her stomach. Monica noticed the shiny, watery glare in Ámbar’s eyes. She thought of the best thing to do, and that was to hug her. Ámbar really started crying in her warm, and gentle embrace. 
“Shh it’s ok hija. It’s ok. You’re safe with me.”
The hug lasted for a good ten minutes. Once Ámbar cried out all the tears she had held in, she broke free from the hug. 
“Thank you…. It’s just me and Simon got in an argument and I know that may sound so stupid cause it’s boy drama but it’s more than that -”
Monica immediately cut Ámbar off and said, “It’s not stupid at all and you don’t have to give me an excuse dear, I completely understand.”
This came as a shock to Ámbar. She wasn’t used to this at all. Whenever she wanted to talk about anything outside of school to Sharon, her Madrina would scold her for wasting her attention on useless topics and people.
“Well it’s just I’m worried that no one will ever believe the fact that I have truly changed. How everyone will probably still see me as the same manipulative mean girl I used to be. I’m tired of gaining everyone’s trust and belief. I really have changed but I don’t know what else to do so they can realize that,” Ámbar now sat down slouching.
“Ámbar you don’t have to prove to anyone that you have changed. You’ve already been showing it for quite a long time now. Don’t beat yourself up so hard for this. For some people it takes longer than others to trust again. Try not to focus your energy on those people. If they can’t see the incredible person I see right in front of me, then it's their loss.”
“You truly think so.”
“I know so.”
~~~~
“Wait, Ámbar slow down,” Simón yells out a mile away from her. Ámbar decided to skate in the morning to the Jam and Roller today. She tried to take the other route to avoid Simón, but he knew that she likes to take this path whenever she’s angry, especially at him.
“Can you please stop following me. I don’t want to talk to you.”
“Ámbar I came to apologize and say I’m sorry.”
This came off as a shock to Ámbar. “You wh-” Thump. Due to her attention being solely focused on Simón, she didn’t realize the big hole on the pavement. Her foot lost control of the wheel and her knee slid on to the pure concrete. Ámbar was on the floor now in pain, clenching on to her knee. It was bleeding and she tried to not show any signs of pain.
Simón came faster than lightning. “ÁMBAR!” He bent down to the floor and examined her knee. He then slid his backpack off of his shoulders and unzipped it. He took out a napkin and hurriedly cleaned off the blood streaming down her lower leg. His touch felt like an electric zap and the way his fingers swept across her leg made her badly want to kick him now. She’s still angry at him but deep down finds him very romantic the way in how he’s stressing out about her. She shook her head out of a daydream, surprisingly feeling like her prince charming coming to the rescue. She doesn’t need a prince even though having one right by her side feels nice. She may be a damsel in distress but can handle this all on her own. 
“Look it’s ok. I can fix it just let me be.”
“No you’re not okay Ámbar. I don’t care what else you say, and be mad at me for all that matters but I’m not leaving you alone. I can’t bear to witness you hurt. So go ahead and complain all you want but I’m not leaving.”
Ámbar froze at his response. He untied the plaid shirt around his waist and instead wrapped it around her leg. Before he was able to hear a response from her, he picked her up and carried her bridal style. He skated like the Flash, almost never before. She couldn’t help but stare at Simón’s worry look plastered all over his face. Now the electricity in her is building up into fireworks, her heart has never beaten so fast in her life. She can feel his tense grasp around her waist and legs. This position actually felt comforting for her, as if she can stay in his arms forever. 
Right then and there Ámbar realized how it didn’t matter if people didn’t believe her or not on whether she has changed. She has people by her side who truly care about her. 
“You know I’m still mad at you.”
“You can be mad at me for an eternity. I deserve it. As long as you're healthy and safe while you scold me, I’ll forever be happy. I truly am sorry by the way. I do trust you and I don’t know why I even doubted you for a second, it was such a dumb decision and I truly regret it,” Simón panted.
“Good. You should regret it. You apologizing and running to help me, not necessarily saving since I don’t need saving, has made me a little less angry at you.”
Simón chuckled. “I love you so much bonita. Never forget that.”
“I love you too, stupid,” Ámbar giggled.

Your OC’s Backstory December Special
Yep, my entry is 5 days late, but I’m just happy I got it done. I’m also posting all four prompts in one post, as I wrote 2000 words total.
This is from before Bethany was cursed. For those who have read my previous backstory pieces, Bethany’s brother Harrison is no longer a baby. Instead, he’s now her adult older brother. She still finds him dead a few months before she’s cursed, though
HOME
My pink crayon was missing.
I searched through the drawing room, trying really hard to find it, as without it I couldn’t finish my picture.
“Are you meant to be in here?” Harrison asked just as I stuck my head under the sofa. 
“No,” I replied, sitting back up. “But I needed to do some drawings and this is the drawing room and I’ve lost my pink crayon!”
“It’s a different type of drawing in ‘drawing room’,” he said with a smile.
“Daddy said that too, but I don’t understand!” I whined. If it was really just a living room, why didn’t they call it that? 
Harrison kneeled down at the coffee table. “So what are you drawing?”
“It’s our house,” I said, joining him. “And that’s Mummy, and Daddy, and you, and me!” I pointed to each bit as I spoke. “But I need my pink crayon to finish Mummy’s garden and I can’t find it!”
“And what about this?” He pointed at a scratch on the table.
I covered it with my drawing, which he immediately removed.
“It was an accident,” I mumbled. “But I can fix it.”
I didn’t understand why Harrison laughed when I picked up my brown crayon.
“Allow me,” he said, taking it from me. He placed his hand on the scratch and whispered something magical, and when he lifted his hand the scratch was gone. 
“Wow!” I wished I could do magic, but Mummy said I didn’t have the spark. “Can you use it to find my crayon?”
“I don’t have that kind of magic,” he told me. “But why do you need the pink? The picture looks finished to me.”
I looked at the drawing again. It was obviously not finished, why did he think it was? “The flowers are missing,” I said slowly.
“Oh. Well, could you do orange flowers? Or red? Purple, maybe?”
“That is a good idea!” I picked up the purple crayon and added in the flowers, then handed the picture to Harrison. “This is for you. For when you leave so you don’t forget me.”
“What makes you think I’m leaving?”
“I heard you,” I mumbled. “When you were on the phone--”
“In my room,” he finished for me. “Which is eavesdropping. Hasn’t Dad told you that’s a bad thing to do?”
I thought for a moment. “Yes. Five times,” I said, holding up five fingers.
“Well you don’t need to worry: I’ll be back a lot. And I’m not going to forget you!” He hugged me. “How could I ever forget my baby sis? Especially with this amazing artwork.” He held it up again. 
“It’s upside down,” I giggled, turning it. “See?”
“Ah yes, I see now.” He stared at it a moment longer. “This needs to be our secret though, ok? I won’t be moving until next year, and I haven’t told anyone I’m going yet.”
I did a big nod. “I can keep a secret!”
“We both know that’s not true.”
“I can keep your secrets!” I corrected. “And when I’m grown up I can live with you too! And our home won’t have rules about eating vegetables. Or making my bed every day. And I can have a drawing room of my own!”
“Sounds good, kiddo,” Harrison said, cleaning up my crayons. “Now let's get out of here before Mum finds us and you get in trouble again.”
HOLIDAY
Dear Diary,
Last night was the shortest night of the year! 
We had a party to celebrate, and Mummy and Daddy didn’t even make me go to bed at seven. I got to stay up all night! 
There was lots of yummy foods that I got to eat that I don’t normally get to eat, like jelly babies and cake and ice cream, and Harrison even gave me something called cordial, which is like a lolly but it’s a drink! I wanted to taste what he was drinking too but he said it was grownup cordial and I wouldn’t like it. 
I got to play with other kids too which was really really fun! And I didn’t even get in trouble when I got dirt on my dress from when Brett threw it at me.
After everyone went home, me and Mummy and Daddy and Harrison took the stairs behind the gate up to the roof. Daddy called it a puppet, I think. It was a nice flat bit on the edge of the roof with a wall around it, and we were up there to wait for the sun to rise! I didn’t have to go to bed at all!
I fell asleep anyway, even though I tried real hard. But then Harrison woke me up and I got to see the sunrise, and WOW! The sky was orange and yellow and pink and it was so pretty.
I’m really really tired now. I even fell asleep at the breakfast table and had to clean milk off my face, which made Daddy laugh and Mummy frown. Harrison wasn’t there but he would have laughed too. 
Mummy has put me to bed and wants me to have a nap. And I will, diary, I will, but not before I tell you a secret. I found the bag of jelly babies and hid it in my dollhouse. I don’t get many lollies so they’re my secret and I’m going to eat them all.
Once I have my nap. Night, Diary!
GIFT
Bethany…
I pulled the blanket over my head, hoping that was enough to make the monster go away. 
Bethany…
The monster started scratching on the floorboards too and I pressed my hands to my ears. “Go away!” I yelled, the way Mummy and Daddy had told me to. “Daddy says you have to!”
BETHANY!
My mattress jumped under me, making me scream. I stood up on my bed and did my biggest jump, but I landed closer to the bed than I wanted to.
I’m going to get you!
I screamed again and ran for my bedroom door, pulling it open and running down the hallway until I reached Mummy and Daddy’s room. 
“Daddy daddy daddy!” I yelled, banging on the door. “The monster won’t go away!”
As soon as the door opened I ran into their room and threw myself on their bed. 
“Can I sleep here?” I asked Daddy, “Pleasssseeeee? I told the monster to go away and he didn’t listen and I’m scared!!” 
“The monster cannot hurt you,” Mummy said, joining Daddy at the door. “He will leave if you ignore him. Now please, Beth, go back to bed.”
I burst into tears. “But he’s scary!”
Daddy sighed and sat on the bad next to me. “What did you say to it?” He asked. 
“That… that… that you said he had to go away!”
“Oh Beth,” Daddy said with a small smile. “You have to tell him you don’t want him there. Then he will leave you alone.”
“But what if he doesn’t listen?!”
“He is trying to scare you, nothing more. As your mother says, he will not harm you. I promise. Do you believe me?”
Still crying, I nodded.
Daddy lifted me off the bed and carried me to the door. “Run along to bed, princess,” he said, putting me down. “We will talk more in the morning.”
I dawdled down the hallway, wanting to be anywhere but in my room.
Suddenly, a large monster appeared at the end of the hall and I screamed again.
“Bethany!” The monster yelled, stepping out of the shadows.
I started to giggle. That wasn’t a monster, it was Harrison. The monster never came out from under my bed, anyway.
“What are you doing up?” He asked me.
I told him about the monster.
“Wait here,” he said, then disappeared into his room. When he returned, he was holding a brown teddy bear. “I bought you this,” he said, handing it to me. “I was going to give him to you earlier, but you were already in bed when I came home.”
The teddy bear was soft and fluffy and cuddly, and I hugged him to my face. 
“This is a very special bear,” Harrison continued, crouching down next to me. “I gave him magic. So when the monsters make you scared, just hold him tight and he’ll make them go away.”
“Really?”
“Really really.”
I beamed at him. “Thank you!”
“But he needs a name.”
I looked at the bear again. Mummy had told me names were important, and I wanted to make sure I got it right. “Boris!” I announced. 
“Boris it is.” Harrison ruffled my hair then stood up. “Come on, kiddo, let’s get you back into bed.”
“Why aren’t you in bed?” I asked. He was still in his daytime clothes too, which was strange.
“Because I’m a grownup.”
“Mummy and Daddy are grownups too.”
He picked me up and smiled. “They’re old grownups,” he said, carrying me back to my room. “And grownups can go to bed whenever they want.”
“I can’t wait to be a grownup!”
“It’s a long way away.” He tucked me into bed. “Goodnight, Bethany.”
“Night, Harrison.”
He pulled the door closed behind him.
Bethany…
I hugged Boris tight, just like Harrison told me to. “Go away!”
The monster didn’t reply. 
NEW YEAR
A hand touched my shoulder. 
“Boris!” I cried, hugging him tight. The monster was back, he was going to grab me and eat me and—
“Bethany,” a voice hissed, clearly not that of the monster. 
“Harrison!”
“Shh!” He switched on my bedside light. “I want to show you something,” he whispered, “but you have to promise not to tell anyone.”
“I can do that,” I said, sitting up. “I haven’t told anyone you’re leaving. I nearly told Daddy but I didn’t.”
He held his pinky out to me. “Pinkie swear?”
“Pinky swear,” I repeated, hooking mine onto his. “Now can I see?”
“Yes. But get your slippers.”
Holding Boris tight I jumped out of bed and ran over to my wardrobe. My slippers were nowhere to be seen so I pulled on my gumboots instead. I liked my gumboots. They weren’t boring colours like all the clothes Mummy bought me; instead they were pink and purple and had flashing lights in the bottoms. Harrison always got me nice things, and wearing them with my nightie made me feel like a princess.
“Can you be quiet in those?” he asked once I came out of my wardrobe. “We don’t want anyone to hear.”
I replied with a big nod.
He led me out of my room and into the drawing room, pausing to pick up one of my crayons off the floor. “Cover your eyes,” he whispered.
I did as he asked, and heard something go click.
When I uncovered them, the back of the fireplace was missing, and there was a rickety staircase instead.
I almost squealed with excitement. A secret passage! 
Harrison ducked into the fireplace and I followed him, climbing the stairs, and suddenly we were on the roof. 
But not the nice flat part where I got to watch the sunrise. This bit was steep and covered in thick red tiles.
“Why are we--”
Harrison shushed me again. “Mum and Dad are on the parapet,” he whispered, pointing to where the nice bit was. “They wanted you to stay in bed but you’re five now, and a big girl, and I wanted you to see.”
“See what?” 
Just as I spoke there was a big explosion overhead, one made of purple and green sparkles. Then red, and blue, and silver. Some were big circles and others shot up like rockets, and even the bridge was covered in sparkles. It was so pretty. Not as pretty as the sunrise, but still really really pretty.
Harrison picked me up and I reached out, trying to catch the falling lights.
“Happy new year,” he whispered.
Suddenly I gasped. “Does this mean you’re leaving me now?” I don’t want you to go!” Tears formed in my eyes and I rubbed my face onto his shoulder to wipe them away.
“Not yet. I have a few more things to organise, so I’ll be here for the rest of summer. And when it’s time, you’ll be the first to know.”

It was a normal day for you as a Television show host. You were excited because today you'd be interviewing Dhani Harrison. The son of the late, great George Harrison.
You were a huge fan of both of them but especially Dhani.
You prepped for your interview and couldn't wait to meet him.
When he arrived at the studio he didn't look so good which made you super concerned.
He greeted you with a smile and was friendly but he seemed sickly. He looked awful, pale, sweaty and his eyes looked sunken with eye bags underneath.
A few minutes later.
You start the show and introduce yourself and then you introduce Dhani as your guest for the show. The audience cheers as Dhani walks on and waved to the crowd and went to say hi to you again.
The interview went well but he was sweating throughout and during commercial breaks Dhani would excuse himself to the bathroom or his dressing room.
He performed as well but his voice sounded raspy and abnormal like something was off.
After his performance he returned to his dressing room coughing.
You follow him to his dressing room and knocked on the door.
"Come in" came the sickly reply.
You step inside and gasp.
Dhani's curled up on the couch a puke bowl in hand. The trash can next to him is filled to the brim with tissues.
"Oh my goodness are you alright?" you ask concerned about his well-being. 
He shakes his head and coughs. He's sweaty and looks weak and tired.
He looks up at you and immediately apologized for being sick and ruining the interview.
"Dhani it's ok you could have canceled and we could have rescheduled." You tell him.
"But I heard you were a huge fan" he says with a smile.
That statement makes you blush and smile at him.
"Oh you're too kind but it wouldn't have upset me if you'd needed to reschedule." You tell him.
He nods his head and closed his eyes trying to relax for a few minutes. You brush the hair out of his face and he smiles.
"Thank you." He whispered
"You're welcome." You reply with a smile.
Awhile later
You go to check on Dhani to find him asleep on the couch. You realize the puke bowl he had been given by your staff is full of puke. You take it away to clean it.
Normal people would have been bothered by vomit but you weren't bothered by it at all.
Once you come back he's still asleep.
You place it on the table by the couch and leave to see if his tour bus is coming to get him and his band.
When you go back to check on him after everything has been arranged.
You find him vomiting and coughing into the puke bowl.
You rush to his side and help him through it.
Once he finishes you grab a tissue and wipe his mouth. He coughs.
"Sorry" he says weakly.
"Oh don't be sorry Dhani" you say.
"When's the bus going to come get me?" He asked.
"Almost here." You tell him.
Awhile later when he's asleep again you leave a friendly note and the soup you brought for yourself for lunch. You decided to give it to him instead.
Then later when you return to that dressing room after Dhani and his band left.
You find this note and a autographed photo of him.
Dear Y/N Thank you for your friendly hospitality despite me feeling too sick to enjoy my time with you. I think you're wonderful and I apologize for causing you to be concerned  about me. As soon as I'm feeling better. I'll be back for sure. The soup was great and did wonders for my stomach.
Sorry I wasn't feeling my best. I hope you can forgive me. Take my phone number and a autograph photo as recompense. I'd love to see you again.
Take care
Dhani x
You gasp and smile at the photo and his note. You take both of them home once the show is done for the day and shoot him a text.
Y/N: Hey it's me Y/N just checking in on you.
Dhani: Hey thanks just took medicine for the night I'm off to bed. Still feel rather crummy but doing alright.
Y/N: Good get some rest, have a good night
Dhani: thanks you too I'll see you soon once I'm better.
Y/N: that'd be perfect :) Goodnight Dhani
Dhani: Goodnight Y/N

idk why I wrote that lol it just passed through my mind so I here I am lol
(i continue to say that English is not my first language so there are going to be grammar mistakes or other things like that lol)
fluffy moments or something like that idk that title is too long: dorm leaders edition!!
•_______________________________________•
riddle rosehearts🌹
he is so shy everytime he is kissing you!!
riddle always has scarlet cheeks but not the same as when he is furious about the 1st year's shenanigans. no it is more like pretty and pink flushed cheeks and oh great seven, he looks so cute.
if you are taller than him, he may try to tiptoed with his high heel shoes and just crossing his arms around your neck or just pulling you by your clothes in order to kiss you.
if you are smaller or about the same height as him, he'll just kissing you slowly and passionately while his hands are holding yours and his thumbs moving on circles against your palms.
but don't forget: only in private. he has a reputation to keep.
he is the cutest little bean you have ever seen if you make out after a long and tiring day, when he had to scream more than 10 times "OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!" because you know, dorm leader's priorities and jobs. just hug him and kiss his cheeks and forehead, he will be happy :)
he is just so cute dmksjduwi let me kiss him please.
adores all your pastries and food you make for him. his heart will always make a back flip while you tell him that you cook something to eat together.
he is working so hard so give him pastries make of strawberries, they are his favourite.
baby boy is always fond of you, as kalim, he'll try to support you in whatever you do!! do the same for him, because of his past, he didn't have any possibilities to do what he wanted to do... support him, hug him, spoon him (he wants to be the big spoon but in reality, he is the little one because he gets so flustered about your affection)
not too much affection in public, so only in private. expect chenya, cater and ace snicker in his back while he is looking at you with loving eyes. trey is smiling while deuce doesn't really know how to react lol so innocent.
during unbirthday party, he might push slowly the back of your back and putting his hand near your waist while showing you where to sit to eat pastries.
conclusion: a cutie only for you.
leona kingscholar🦁
oooh dude I hope you are ready for this man.
he can be the most passionate kisser or he gives the laziest kisses you will receive in your life.
he'll always have the control of the kiss but try to be reckless!! if you manage to find the best moment to slowly rub his ears while laying in his bed, he'll melt.
his tail is constantly grabbing your wrist or just rolls around your arms, hands, thighs or waist. he has no shame so except some kisses in public but not in front of certain people (*cough*malleus*cough). the same as riddle, he has a reputation to keep.
no difference if you are smaller or taller or the same height as him, just kiss grumpy man.
lazy kiss. lazy kiss. lazy kiiiiiss. after a nap at school or in bed, if your lips brush one one of his ear, it will twitch as many times as you do it. just expect him pulling you down and licking you face, you know lion thing or cat thing idk.
will look at you fondly while you take care of cheka.
but if you point out it to him, he'll look at you with a disgusted expression while cheka has sparkles in his eyes.
unfortunately, cheka tells to his papa that his oji-tan has finally find someone!!so when leona goes during holidays to the afterglow savannah, farena will make a celebration about it and will ask to his little bro to bring you one day!! blabla marriage. blabla party to celebrate it nanana.
leona threatens his family to throw farena from a certain climb lol if he doesn't stop.
if you want to help ruggie, cook for him but no vegetables because he is so picky :/
will say it is a tolerable meal but oh boy he is screaming in his head because you cook for him he is falling for you again and again
the best meal he ever has.
he takes the best nap while laying next to you or even better: his head on your thighs. pet his hair and rub circles around his ears and maybe, I say mayyyybe if he is in a good mood, he would purr. his tail would wag and tap a certain rhythm but don't worry, baby is happy.
but if you and leona manage to hear ruggie's particular 'shishishi', leona would wake up in one second and would run after donut boy in order to end up his life.
poor ruggie.
azul ashengrotto🐙
oooh baby octopus boy.
he has one condition about kisses: not in public. after all, he is one of the seven powerful dorm leaders of Night Raven College!! as riddle and leona and many others, he has a reputation to keep. moreover, he doesn't want to be laughed at by a certain duo of twins eels, who would never miss an opportunity to flustered azul:)
however, in private (in his room or the VIP room idk), praise him like you never praise someone before, pepper his face with little smooches and soft kisses and pat his hair. even if his cheeks are redder than riddle hair and some tiny tears begin to appeared at the corner of his eyes, don't stop. he trusts you so much that he accepts to show you his most fragile sides. ily azul urggg
just, don't make fun of him, he already has jade and floyd to do that lol these rats.
and don't forget to pat azul's head 3 times a day or he will pout lol
don't be afraid to spoon him, taller or smaller, just kiss him if both of you want it (it is important to ask and to be ok with it!!)
tell him he does a good job when he things that he is just useless (no you are not baby). even if he looks confident while doing jobs and contracts in mostro lounge, he panics easily when something he didn't think about appears.
don't judge him when his face is wet by tears and ink when he is in octopus form. expect jade or floyd calling you when azul refuses to leave his pot because of an unknown reason.
just reassure him and show him that he can trust you.
he trusts you so much that he cries harder while hugging you like his life depends on you.
too much affection and love to give for one person lol drown him with your love :D
kalim al asim☀️
my babyyyy sunshiiine :D
you don't ever have the time to propose him to give him a kiss that he is already throwing himself to you.
I hope that you don't hold anything into your arms or hands because now you are holding kalim.
everytime he sees you, expect kisses and cuddle lol
you wake up, kalim is kissing your cheeks. preparing to school or attending to? forehead kisses!! you eat and some food crust is at the corner of your mouth? oh boy smooching time!! goodnight kisses, good marks kisses, pain pain go away kisses when you injure yourself!!
I'm such a simp for him wth.
also expect him to always looking at you in classes or just whenever you are with him.
it is such a problem for jamil because he has to scold kalim and watch him at the same time because he is too occupied to focus on you :)
night adventures on his flying carpet are great!! will always give you his big and fluffy cardigan if you're feeling cold or if you just want him to roll himself in your arms while sitting between your legs.
he is so cute and is your biggest fan of whatever you do.
food date!! kalim takes you to scarabia to eat some good food that jamil makes. no, kalim is forbidden to approach the kitchen because he may destroy the dorm by accident just by trying to cook something for you. poor jamil dear.
will eat everything you cook for him and treats you as the best cook ever. don't tell jamil.
loves studying rendezvous, he helps you understand some lessons and you do the same for him. however it is complicated for the both of you to stay concentrated: kalim bright smile is charming you (there is only one sun in the universe and it is kalim *point a gun to the 'sun'*) and kalim has some difficulties to look at the text you are explaining, his eyes are only looking at you, his darling.
dance with you during his parties and if you are too tired or too shy to dance in front of everyone, go go in the carpet!! dancing in the middle of the night while jamil is screaming after kalim to come back because he can't see him from where he is. poooooor jamil let me kiss you bby-
looking at you with heart eyes is one of his favourite activities.
vil schoenheit💅🏻
good luck if you want a kiss from him. every mornings, he takes a lot of times to do his fabulous make up so he doesn't want you to ruin everything in less than 10 seconds.
or if you manage to kiss him, it is just a light peck on the lips or cheek. nothing too hard only if he wants to leave a lipstick stain on you ;)
as the others (less kalim of course), private moments are the best. here, in in his room after washing his face and after doing his routine, just lay in bed with him and cuddle time!!
loves to do your make up!! he will do your eyeliner while you're laying in his bed lol
difficult to have a full moment of intimacy at pomefiore. I won't give name but a hunter here seems to spy on you, hidden in trees when you forget to close the curtains.
I guess that his walls are now full of pictures of vil and you lol the 2 most beautiful persons for him
you try to convince vil to give more liberties to epel, since the queen has to take care of his precious potato instead of some ugly ones lol
don't pay attention to the potatoes who ask for his autograph or selfies when you walk together. he is super famous after all
but if you are jealous about it or some fans are too much intrusive or too sticky and still following you, just kiss him languidly. he doesn't matter anymore if his make up is on your face, he will leave you breathless while you can hear some 'kyyyya!!' behind you.
might be flustered lol he will blush
eheh you are his only love
sweet and fluffy moments are the best with him, just shopping, scrolling together on magicam, experimenting new make up or hairstyles,... everything is better together!!
make him some food low in calories but still sweet and yummy, he will melt right away:)
vil darling is super cute wtf.
idia shroud💀
imagine that this boy is naturally flustered, shy and attracted by you just by standing or looking at him, then imagine his reaction when you kiss him?
be patient and comprehensive with him. it is not that easy to kiss the one you love even if you believe and put your trust in that person. everyone has to go to their own rhythm so please respect that!!
once, he feels ready to kiss you, cup his cheeks and give him the softest kiss that you can give. his hair will bright a scarlet red while his pale cheeks will take a pretty red colour that he could make riddle faints. poor little bean.
show him that he can trust you and be natural in your company. he'll be so moved of how you treat him so gently.
he is a big sweetheart, please treat him gently or you will die by my hands.
videogames night date!! will invite you to come to his room while ortho is looking for sweets and junk food to eat tonight!! baby is so excited to have a night with his onii-chan and you that his eyes can't stop twinkling and idia even has to calm his down if ortho doesn't want to explode (I hope he won't).
say that you have cooked something for him and his heart will doki doki while he is screaming and stuttering some incomprehensible things. oh no, now the fire alarm is making a high noise but not so high as idia of course.
always thinks about couple date cosplay!! nosebleed if you manage to cosplay in his favourite character. you were his second husbando/waifu but now you officially are the first one!!
he has never be so happy since you are with him so please treat him so well.
(+he even makes a list to azul to explain why you are the best lover ever.)
(++ortho tells their family about you, I swear they cry and scream when they learn that their shy, introverted and otaku son has finally find someone so caring and loving as you.)
malleus draconia🐉
malleus chuckles everytime you try to kiss him. indeed, he is probably one of the tallest student in NRC and looks also very intimidating. however, he is the sweetest dragon fae that you have met in your life.
his kisses are so passionate and sweet at the same time!! his hands are holding yours or he caresses your cheeks.
he always try to flustered and teased you. he can't do anything about that, faes love to make so pranks on people! but considering that you are his lover and he is not like a particular little and old fae, he just keep teased you in order to see this beautiful and blushing face of yours~
likes dancing with you, even some easy dances. as long as he can spend time with you, he is genuinely happy.
absolutely loves to go to night walks with you. he will show you the most beautiful places he noticed before coming with you and honestly, he has good choices. the landscapes in twisted wonderland are so magical and incredibly pretty. but malleus can't stop looking at you, he thinks that you are the prettiest thing living in this world. how cheeky of you. lilia is so proud of him.
lilia, sebek and silver are watching you further, hidden behind some bushes. lilia is chuckling and smirking of how much the two of you are so cute while silver is asleep against a tree. sebek is staring and can't stop muttering about how great his waka sama is and how a simple and little human like you could be with malleus. he secretly ships the two of you because you make malleus happy but whatever.
lilia had to hit him at least 6 times because sebek can't stop shouting when malleus takes your hands in his, tucks hair behind you hair, kisses you or just looks at you lovingly.
he has a stomach makes of iron because of lilia's cooking so he will eat whatever you do to him but please, don't bake a cake. he really dislikes cakes. buuuut, if he learns that you can make ice cream or these sort of cake only make of ice cream (I have no idea of what they are called??), surprised pikachu face. will eat a tons until his guards (mainly sebek) tries to explain to him that eating only sweets are not good for his health and that you must NOT give them to the young lord because you can hurt him yada yada yada. malleus makes you run away to ramshackle dorm in order to have peace.
he is just so happy that he finds someone -as strange as you are- that is not afraid of him because of his name or nature. he will cherish you so cherish him with all your heart and soul lol I'm soft.
~~the end~~

The Past And Pending
This is a super self indulgent fic about the events of the rest of the night and following day after Beatrice (and friends) defeat the Devil. It’s really got it all, fluff with Julian, exploring her (somewhat awkward) past with Asra, and reuniting with her sister Freya.
Again this is super self indulgent, but if you’re interested in nearly 4k words of Beatrice lore then read on 💗
There are brief allusions to spicy content, but nothing descriptive and mostly just vague humorous comments lol
Characters: My MC Beatrice x Julian, her sister Freya Viano, and the rest of the Arcana main characters
Warnings: brief mentions of past mature/spicy content, brief mentions of a parent pulling a child’s hair in a rough manner and raising their voice 
Words: 3958
The first night of the Masquerade felt like it was weeks long. So much had happened, and most of it in a realm where time ran differently.
After everyone arrived back to Vesuvia in one piece there wasn’t much to do but revel in the success. Beatrice can’t even remember how many hugs she was pulled into and how many times she’d been congratulated. She refused the praise every time, always directing attention back to Julian and to everyone really, she hadn’t defeated the Devil on her own. 
Eventually people had wandered off until finally it was just Beatrice, Julian, and Asra left. None of them felt like returning to the raucous party happening inside the palace so the three of them sat by the fountain in relative silence. Beatrice is exhausted at this point, head resting on Julian’s shoulder as he runs a soothing hand through her quite tangled hair. 
“I think I’d better go back to the shop.” Asra says, standing up with a smile. “I’m so tired I think I might nap for the next week. It looks like you’re in good hands, Beatrice.” 
“Don’t think I’m done questioning you about all of your secrets, Asra.” She threatens sleepily. There’s no malice behind her words, but she’s curious. He just laughs in response and ruffles her hair as he passes, stopping to give a meaningful glance to Julian. Beatrice is too tired to notice the non verbal conversation they’re having as Asra and Julian seem to come to some sort of agreement. It seems the two of them are finally on good terms again, all apologies accepted, and both Asra and Julian visibly relax a bit more at this realization.
“I’ll see you tomorrow, Beatrice.” Asra says in goodbye. “Goodnight Ilya.”
“Goodnight, Asra.” Julian grins, his tone not portraying how tired he is. 
“Uhhuh goodnight..” She mutters back, her face now fully pressed into Julian’s jacketed shoulder. 
“Come on sleepy girl, up we go.” Julian says gently, trying not to disturb her too much as he picks her up. She protests weakly at being picked up but then seems to settle into his arms. He chuckles under his breath and looks down at her tired form. Her eyes are open, barely, and she’s smiling vaguely up at him. “Let’s get you some rest.” 
“Do you need help finding the room?” She asks, blinking up at him. Julian laughs again, he isn’t so sure she’d be able to help right now.
“I’ve got you, darling. I know how to find it.” He responds, navigating up the steps of the veranda to enter the palace. Luckily there don’t seem to be too many people in the halls but he still carefully weaves around any obstacles and turns, he’s carrying precious cargo after all. He soon arrives at the door to her guest room and walks in. As he surveys the room hesitation sets in. Should he have brought her back to the shop? Or to Mazelinka’s? Should he stay, would she want him to? His overthinking is interrupted by a sleepy sigh.
“Oh good, we’re here. Put me down so we can sleep.” Beatrice whines. He can’t help but smile at her tired behavior, she doesn’t seem aware that she’s being more brusque than usual. And the use of “we” soothes his unfounded fears that even now, after everything, she might still push him away. Confident in her affections, Julian complies with her wishes, setting her down on the bed. He takes a seat next to her and reaches for her boots to untie them. 
“You’ve taken care of me so much over the last few days, let me return the favor.” He murmurs as she looks at him in confusion. She nods simply and watches as he unties and removes her boots. His hands move next to her cloak, still pinned firmly around her neck. He pulls it off and gently lays it on the chair near the bed before returning to her side. She’s been pulling off clothes while his back was turned, throwing her fancy masquerade dress to the ground. She’s left in her thin shift and Julian can’t help the flush that fills his cheeks though he’s seen her more bared than this before. He keeps his distance as he pulls his own boots off, shedding his mask and feathered jacket.
“Come here.” Beatrice says, noticing his blushing indecision. He joins her on the bed with a smile and leans in to kiss her forehead gently. He moves to sit with his back against the headboard and pulls her into his lap between his legs, hands reaching for her hair. 
“I learned how to braid when I was little.” He explains in a near whisper, his hands digging lightly into her scalp. “The grandmas taught me, and Pasha always insisted I braid her hair.” 
She melts into his touch as he twists her unruly hair back from her face into a much more manageable braid. As his hands stop their movement she twists around to kiss him, catching him off guard. He smiles into the kiss and mumbles “I love you.” against her lips.
“I love you too, always.” She says back, pulling away to get beneath the blessedly comfortable bed covers. He follows after, pulling her close against him.
“Oof, we forgot the lights, I’ll get them.” He makes as if to move but Beatrice beats him to it, snuffing all the candles in a single lazy hand movement.
“I’m a magician, remember?” She says. “I’ll teach you that someday, if you want.” 
“Someday maybe,” He thinks of the magic she showed him in the Tower and the nearly intoxicating feeling of magic in his hands. “But for now, magician or not, you need to sleep.”
“Oh is that your medical opinion, Dr. Devorak?” She moves her face forward so their noses are pressed together.
“I think that’s an objective opinion, dear heart, we’re both exhausted.” He closes the distance between them to kiss her. She grumbles in response and gets comfy against the pillows and the half of Julian’s body she’s pressed against. For the first time since Nadia arrived at the shop she and Julian both sleep blissfully through the night without interruption. 
The next morning, or rather afternoon, they’re awoken by a knock on the door.
“It’s me, Portia! Are you decent?” Portia calls, her head peeking in through the cracked door. Beatrice sits up groggily and greets her as she steps in and goes to open the curtains to let the light in. 
“We’re decent.” Julian grins. “Good morning, Pasha.” 
“It seems you both slept well, it’s nearly lunchtime! I brought you some breakfast to tide you over, Nadia has a big lunch planned for all of us.” Portia bustles around the room, leaving a basket on the table in the middle of the room. When neither of them move to get out of bed she sighs in an exaggerated way and smiles. “I’ll leave you to it, I guess. I’ll come get you when lunch is ready.” 
She moves to leave but turns around, her hand on the door handle. 
“Oh, and Nadia says that the baths are open for your use again if you’d like.”
“Thanks, Portia.” Beatrice says sunnily, her voice full of contentment. 
“Shall we get up? I think I smell pastries.” She grins after Portia’s left. Julian’s eyes are full of affection as he regards her, hair half out of the braid, shift hanging off her shoulders. Her eyes are sleepy and her lips are chapped, but Julian thinks she’s never looked better. He presses a kiss to the tip of her nose and she gives a happy sigh.
“I don’t think I’ll ever get over waking up next to you, my dear.” Julian smiles. She shakes her head incredulously and kisses him. They remain like that for a while, limbs tangled in the sheets, mouths pressed together. Finally Beatrice’s sense of responsibility takes over and she pulls away.
“We’d better get up if we want to eat and take a bath before lunch.” She sighs.
“Oh you, always so practical.” Julian pouts, face still flushed to the ears. 
“Hey, it’s gotten us this far hasn’t it?” She laughs. He agrees and they slowly get out of bed and go about a morning routine. Beatrice gleefully digs into a flaky almond pastry and shoves the basket towards Julian, signalling that he needs to eat. After breakfast they head down the hall to the bath.
This time their bath is more utilitarian, though the two of them do get a bit distracted at times. After the bath they walk hand in hand to the dining room where Nadia, Asra, and Portia are already seated at a very full looking table heaped with food.
“Ah, there you are. I was wondering if I’d have to send a search party after the two of you.” Nadia says with a raised eyebrow, her smile gives away the humor behind her words. 
“I’m sorry we’re late Nadia.” Beatrice says chagrined, taking the open seat across from Asra. Julian sits down on her right. 
“It’s entirely my fault, I must apologize.” Julian smirks.
“Well, not entirely your fault..” She smiles at him causing a tell-tale flush to rise to his face. 
“Ok! That’s enough of that, you’re here now that’s what matters.” Portia says, clapping her hands together to signal that she really wants to change the subject.
“Yes, thank you Portia. Now that we’re all here we can begin.” Nadia nods to one of the servants in the corner of the room who begins to serve food onto everyone's plates. Portia looks like she wants to get up to help but Nadia trains a look at her and she rests into her seat, taking a sip of her wine in resignation. 
“I wanted to call all of us together this afternoon to check in, and to thank Beatrice once again for her valiant actions.” Nadia smiles at her and she retreats a bit into her chair, still quite uncomfortable with the attention. 
“Uh, thank you Nadia that’s very kind of you but as I said last night, there’s no need to do this! All of you helped, you know I didn’t do this on my own.” She’s blushing, staring intently at her plate.
“Well, yes, but you’re the one who dealt the final blow, the rest of us merely lent you power.” Nadia explains, hands laced together. 
“There was nothing “mere” about it.” Beatrice finally lifts her head, looking around at everyone at the table. There are a few friend’s missing, but presumably they had simply declined the invitation. 
“Well, I think this calls for a toast, to all of us.” Julian swoops in to save the day, noting her discomfort. She smiles gratefully at him and everyone raises their glasses in a cheer. The lunch moves on, everyone conversing freely and happily. After a few sips of wine Beatrice switches to water, she’s a lightweight and if she wants to get some answers from Asra this afternoon, and be ready for the Masquerade again tonight, she’ll need her wits about her. 
After lunch, Nadia dismisses everyone to start preparations for that night’s festivities. Portia follows behind, the two of them already deep in discussion about some of the party rooms which need repairs. Asra stands up and Beatrice follows suit.
“Asra, can we talk?” She says, not really asking a question.
“Of course, do you want to take a walk?” He smiles good naturedly, like he’d expected her to ask. He probably had, considering her determination last night. She nods and heads towards Asra and the door.
“I’ll just, uh, I think I’ll finally go tidy up my desk in the library.” Julian says, squeezing her hand as he walks out of the dining room. 
She and Asra go out to the gardens and talk for a long time. It’s the most honest he’s ever been with her and for once, talking about the past doesn’t hurt. They talk about what just happened, they talk about the last three years and where Asra went on his travels, how he had to lie or hide the truth to protect her. They talk about before, before she died, before the plague. She isn’t shocked when he reveals that, at one point, the two of them were very much in love.
“I still love you, of course, just not in the same way.” He says after he finishes giving a brief timeline of their lives before the plague. It doesn’t feel like he’s letting her down easy, or like the conversation is awkward or strained. Asra is her best friend, and it seems that’s all they were meant to be in the end.
“Well, I love you too of course!” Beatrice responds, pulling Asra into a hug. “I’m so glad I know the truth about everything now, I know who I am.” 
“WelI, I feel like I owe you one more truth.” He frowns, looking a bit embarrassed. “We uh, in the past we’ve uh… slept together, many times.”
“Oh.” She says simply, not quite knowing what to do with the knowledge. After a few seconds the silence stretches and she asks “Well… was I at least good?” Asra barks in laughter.
“Is that what you’re worried about? Yes, Beatrice you were good.” He smiles, shaking his head incredulously.  “I just thought you should know.... in case you and Julian..” He tapers off, now looking only slightly uncomfortable. 
“Oh.. we uh already have.” Beatrice says, folding her arms a bit defensively, braced for comment. 
“I guess I should’ve known, knowing Julian, and you I suppose.” Asra grins, eyes full of mischief.
“That reminds me…” She starts, taking in Asra’s raised eyebrow. “I know you and Julian have a history… did you ever…?” 
“Oh uh, yes a few times.” He blushes, not meeting her eyes. She laughs, making him look up in confusion. 
“I knew it!” She’s still laughing. “I just had a feeling.” Asra can't help but laugh with her, neither of them noticing the tall figure approaching them through the hedge maze. Asra and Beatrice have always been comfortable discussing everything, and it seems their shared romantic history isn’t off limits either.
“Does he still do that thing with his-” Asra starts, Beatrice listening eagerly, still half laughing.
“Do I still do what?” Julian says, looking somewhat flustered as he approaches the two of them, clearly having heard or understood some of their recent conversation. 
‘Uh.. nothing darling!” Beatrice stands up to greet him with a kiss to the cheek. Asra stands up with a smirk, laughing at Julian’s expression. 
“Don’t worry it was going to be a nice comment.” Asra claps Julian on the shoulder. 
“Well uh- in that case I’d like to hear it then.” He flushes. “But first, I came to tell you Beatrice, there’s a visitor here to see you.”
“A visitor?” Her  eyebrows furrow. 
“I didn’t get her name, Nadia sent me to find you.” Julian explains, leading them back towards the palace. “Now tell me, what is it that I do?” 
“I think maybe I’ll ask Beatrice and she can decide whether to tell you or not.” Asra says, smile still wide. He leans in to whisper in her ear and she stifles a bark of laughter.
“Oh yes, he definitely still does that.” She says with a grin to match Asra’s. Julian looks between the two of them in confusion, looking frustrated. “I’ll tell you later, don’t worry about it.” 
“Ugh... why must the both of you be so stubborn.” He shakes his head, offering Beatrice his arm as they walk up the slightly steep stairs to the veranda. Sitting at the table overlooking the gardens is Nadia, Portia standing slightly behind, and a woman with blonde hair wrapped elegantly in a silk scarf. Nadia smiles as she sees the trio arriving. 
“Ah, here she is.” Nadia gestures and the blonde woman turns around. Her eyes are wide as she takes in Beatrice, who looks at her without recognition. 
“Beatrice?” The woman says, standing up to take a step towards her. Beatrice still looks confused and nobody has said anything or made an effort to explain so far. 
“Freya?” Asra says, stepping towards the woman before she reaches Beatrice.
“Oh, Asra! I remember you! You’re still in Vesuvia after all this time?” The woman, presumably named Freya asks. 
“Uh Freya, I’m sorry but Beatrice has been through quite a lot in the last few years and she’s lost a lot of her memories. She probably doesn’t know who you are.” He explains with a frown, Freya nods slowly as if that makes sense but she frowns too. Julian’s got a slightly defensive arm around Beatrice but she looks at him gently and steps out of his arms towards the woman.
“I’m so sorry, but like Asra said I don’t have that much knowledge of my past. Who are you?” She asks, keeping her tone polite despite her burning curiosity. 
“Oh Beatrice! I thought I’d never see you again!” The woman says dramatically, flinging her arms around Beatrice who, to her credit, manages not to sway under the sudden embrace. 
“Uh, I’m so sorry but that doesn’t really answer my question?” Beatrice mutters, still trapped in the hug. 
“She’s your older sister, Freya.” Asra says gently, meeting hers over Freya’s shoulder.
“My… who?” Beatrice stares incredulously as she is finally released. Julian reaches out to steady her with a hand. 
“It’s like the magician said, Beatrice! I’m your older sister, I’ve finally come back home.” She grins at Beatrice expectantly. “Don’t you remember me at all?” 
She thinks really hard, straining to remember and suddenly gets thrown back into a memory. 
A young girl, no more than 10 years old with blonde hair in tight ringlet curls is singing at the top of her lungs, a younger girl sits next to her on a decrepit looking piano bench pounding onto the keys of a piano with a lot of gusto but no talent, her dark hair pulled into a tight braid. An older woman comes into frame grabbing the older girl by the wrist.
“You girls have chores to do! I can’t believe you’re playing around right now.” Her voice is brusque but at once familiar and the older Beatrice visibly winces as she watches the woman grab the younger girl by the braid, pulling her up and away from the piano. 
The scene changes and the two girls are giggling in a small bed, a blanket pulled over their heads as the younger girl, around 8 now, conjures a ball of light into her hand then vanishes it, repeating it a few times as the older girl, around 12, laughs. 
“How do you do that Beatrice?” The girl whispers.
“It’s magic Frey! I can teach you, here.” The younger girl smiles, passing the light into her older sister’s hands. The light fizzles out immediately as it leaves her hands.
“It’s no use, I’m not magic.” The blonde girl frowns, looking almost close to tears. 
“Of course you are! We’re sisters and if I can do it, so can you! I’ll help.” Young Beatrice reaches out to grab young Freya’s hands.
“If I can do it because we’re related, does that mean Mother can do it?” Young Freya asks with a teasing smirk. 
“Nooo she could never do magic, she’s too mean.” Young Beatrice’s face scrunches up and Young Freya laughs, a little too loudly. The girls stiffen as footsteps approach their small room and the two lay down immediately, pretending to sleep. 
The scene fades once again and Young Beatrice, now around 12, is staring out a window splattered with rain as a figure walks away, blonde hair just visible as the figure turns to wave one last time before disappearing from view. Younger Beatrice is crying.
“Why’d you have to leave me Freya… alone with her.” She says bitterly, wiping tears away with the back of her hand. “How could you… you PROMISED.” 
The mist at the corners of Beatrice’s mind fades as she’s wrenched back to reality. She stumbles a bit before Julian reaches for her again, arms wrapping tightly around her.
“Woah.” Portia says after a long moment of everyone looking around in confusion. “Did everyone see that?” 
“Yes, Portia, I think everyone watched those glimpses of the past.” Nadia says gently, pulling out a chair at the table and gesturing for Beatrice to sit. Julian helps her to sit and she seems to suddenly snap back to reality.
“I- think I remember you.” Beatrice smiles up at the blonde girl who looks down at her with an open mouth.
“Did you- do that?’ Freya says, mouth pulling into a matching smile. “You’ve always been so good at that magic stuff.” 
“I’m not sure, I think so.” Beatrice says, shaking her head to dispel the remnants of fog that still crowd the corners of her head.
“Darling, are you ok?” Julian leans in towards her with concern lacing his voice. “You look a little pale.”
“Oh puh-lease. She’s always been pale.” Freya laughs, taking in her sister. The girls are near opposites in looks, Freya blonde and blue eyed, taller and tanned, Beatrice pale and dark haired, dark eyed. But there are similarities, the exact same smattering of freckles, the face shape, identical noses, identical smiles. 
“Well, this is quite a surprise.” Nadia says, lacing her fingers together like she usually does when she’s thinking. “May I ask where you’ve been for the last few years, and why you’ve decided to come back?” 
“Oh, of course milady, I’d be happy to clear things up” Freya takes her seat across from Nadia again and takes a delicate sip of tea from the cup sitting there. 
“Please, call me Nadia.” She smiles, taking in Freya who is now unwinding her hair from the scarf, letting it fall in loose curls down her back. She shakes her head gently to toss her hair back and smiles at everyone around the table in turn, seeming fully at ease despite the curious faces watching her. Julian stays standing behind Beatrice, arms wrapped around her as she sits while Asra takes the open chair on her other side.
“Nadia.” Freya nods in affirmation. “Well, let’s see…. where shall I start.” 
“How about the beginning?” Beatrice suggests. Julian rubs her shoulders, still looking at her with concern as if she might faint at any moment. She twists around to meet his eyes. “I’m ok Julian, really.” 
“You should drink some tea, at least.” He reaches for the teapot, pouring her a cup. Everyone around the table watches the two of them and Freya’s eyes narrow a bit as she takes them in before her face spreads into a smile.
“Is he your boyfriend, Beatrice?” She grins, taking a sip of her own tea.
“I suppose you could call him that.” Beatrice looks up at Julian with a smile and he meets it, finally deciding she’s got her color back enough that he can pull up a chair and sit too. “But let’s get back on topic.” Freya nods, lacing her fingers together in a motion similar to Nadia.
“Beatrice,” Asra says, placing a hand on hers to get her attention. “How’s your head?
“I feel fine, really. You and Julian worry too much.” She brushes him off and he settles back into his chair with an affectionate smile.
“I suppose I’ll start at the very beginning then, if you don’t mind a story.” Freya says thoughtfully. “And seeing as Beatrice doesn’t remember anything, maybe this will help you remember.” 
Beatrice nods in agreement, and Freya begins.
