Flipping the Script

🎂: ROTTMNT

🧁: Leo

🍫: Donnie

Summary: It’s very normal at this point in the lair for Donnie to help Leo with his lee moods, but what about Leo helping Donnie with a Ler mood instead?

A/N: look at me! Writing more! Hurrah! I came up with this because I’ve done multiple fics of Donnie gettin Leo cause he was in a lee mood and thought “but what if…?” So, Enjoy this self-indulgent thing-a-mabob! (P.S remember I’m a massive lee without a ler bone in my body so if I’ve misunderstood ler moods in anyway let me know.)

TW: a swear word

Flipping the Script

‘Hmmm.’ Donnie’s thoughts echoed.

He was in a ler mood. And a bad one. He couldn’t help it! His six fingers itched to tickle. He wanted to make someone laugh, but not in the ‘I want to be funny laugh at my jokes please’ kinda way, more like the ‘I like seeing you happy and also uncontrollably laughing so much it’s ridiculous-‘ kinda way.

He craved to have someone trapped in their own head as he crawled his fingers down their side making them giggle and squirm, tease them until they’re red in the face-

And there he goes again. He kept doing that! Picturing a scenario where he finally captured a victim. He couldn’t focus on anything like this!

Frustrated, he climbed out of bed and went to go get some water and maybe a snack.

As he passed through to the kitchen, he spotted Leo at the table. He would be fun to get- no. Donnie. Stop thinking about it.

Leo sensed his twins presence and looked up. “Hey DonTon! What’s up?” Leo asked cheerfully, noticing a slight gleam in Donnie’s eyes but deciding not to mention it.

‘Oh fuck it’s going to be so hard to talk to him without saying something I might regret-‘ “oh, I’m just l, getting water you know, got to get hydrated” Donnie laughed nervously.

Leo raised an eyebrow ridge, “Okay, something’s going on with you, what is it?”

Donnie’s eyes shifted to the side and his fingers twitched. “Nothing….of importance.” He spoke hesitantly.

“Yeah, you think so? Well, if it’s bothering you, it’s important to me. I promise I won’t judge. Now, I’ll ask you one more time, what’s up?”

Donnie sighed, knowing it would be pointless to lie, “I may or may not.. be… in a massive ler mood.” He rushed the last part of the sentence, as if speaking it quickly would make it less embarrassing.

Leo’s eyebrow lines shot up. “Okay then,” then he finished with a more hesitant, “…I suppose I can help you with that.”

Donnie looked over to him, “really?”

“Really, I don’t mind I promise.”

A smirk grew in Donnie’s face. “Well that I knew, Lee-o~”

Leo pushed his hands towards his twin halfheartedly, “Man, I’m being nice to you shut up!”

“I’m afraid I can’t do that dear brother, you agreed to help me, which means you have agreed to let me tease you as I please!” Donnie booped the end of Leo’s snout with the final word.

Don then pulled Leo into a tight hug, resting his hands in either side of his brother. “Now, to start, I have a little game for you~” and he rested his hands still.

“Don’t laugh, and I don’t move. But at the first sign of laughter! The slightest snicker or giggle, well, then my true fun begins.”

Leo squeezed his eyes shut and groaned slightly. “Oh fuck… I’m screwed.”

Donnie chuckles evilly. “Ohoho nervous already? This will be fun.”

For the first minute or so, Don was quiet. Just quiet breathing and listening to Leo’s irregular breathing as he tried to hold back his anticipatory giggles. But after a while, the tech-man began to tease.

“You know what I’m gonna do when you break Leo? I’ll start off real nice and slow, just gentle tracing along your most ticklish spots. Sending sparks across your skin.”

Leo’s eyes widened in a giddy dread, and his efforts to stay quiet tenfolded, but yet he came so much closer to failing.

“And then I’ll get a little bit rougher, more ticklish, as I scribble and scratch my hands into your sides, your underarms, maybe even your thighs and knees, that’ll be fun for you, won’t it?”

Leo’s breathing becomes even more sporadic as he tries to contain his giggles by holding his breath.

“Maybe I’ll give you some raspberries and nibbles in your oh so sensitive little tummy! We’re just gonna have a blast.”

Leo finally breaks, just a little giggle slipping out, but it was enough.

Donnie’s evil smile grew. “Oh, was that a laugh? I think it was~! Time for the true fun to begin.”

Donnie started off doing exactly what he said he would. Tracing up and down Leo’s ribs and around them in gentle circles that produced a giggly smile and gentle squirming from Leo.

“Aww~ look at him, so happy and giggly~” Don teased, mocking but still light in tone. He moved on from the circles, and traced down Leo’s sides before ending up lightly tracing swirls along his thighs, and eventually moving behind his knees in light, barely there, wiggles of his fingers.

All the while Leo was giggling like a moron. The light tingly sensation was like electricity flowing through his skin, but it wasn’t unpleasant. He was happy to help his twin be happy.

Donnie continued on to the speech he had given earlier, moving to slightly harder tickles, moving back up to Leo’s sides, who promptly started laughing much harder than he was previously.

“Oh, is that too much~?” Donnie asks, unserious but also willing to accommodate if the answer was yes.

“Nohoho, youhohour’e fihihine!”

“Oh, good~” Donnie chuckles, his voice lightly sinister.

This continues for a while, and Donnie feels as though his ler mood is satisfied, but… it needs a proper ending to be truly fulfilling.

“Are you ready for the last thing~”

Leo knows what’s coming. “Ahas reheady ahahas ihihi’ll Ehehever behehe.”

“Alright~ on the count of three..” He hesitates for a moment that seems to last forever. “Three!” The softshell shouts, taking a deep breath and giving Leo the most ticklish raspberry possible right on his plastron, where his stomach would be.

Leo screams in laughter, pounding his fist on the floor from the energy of it. He thought that would be it, but then Donnie repeated the action again, and then again in his ribs.

It tickles so much he couldn’t stand it! And yet… he didn’t stop him. It was fun, at least a little bit, for Leo as well. Which feels familiar, hmm, wonder why that is? (/s)

Donnie finally stops and sits up, leaving a giggly brother on the floor. “You good, Nardo?”

He just gets a shaky thumbs up in response, and more giggles.

“You know,” Don starts to speak. “This is a familiar situation. Just with a slightly different cause.”

“Yeheah.” Leo Agrees, “almost as if we’re just flipping the script.”

———THE END————————————————

[doyelikehaggis]

OKAY, JUST WATCHED LEGACIES. I have... so many questions, it was little bit confusing but here we go

• I enjoy Cleo's character. She seems sweet, she's very pretty, trying to be supportive. However, I do agree with everyone that's saying something seems off. I don't want her to turn out to be a monster but I do think there's some more backstory there

• and on that particular note, when she said her sisters were murdered, all I could think was, "Please don't be another Dorian." I can't think of any characters who could have killed her sisters like Stefan did with Dorian's family, but at the same time I'm worried that they're somehow gonna turn around and say that it someone we know (I swear, you cannot make it Stefan on his ripper binge again, THAT DOESN'T WORK... unless

• Not a theory because it is way too out there and absolutely ridiculous but what a fucking plot twist would it be if Cleo was actually, like, a heretic or something? Imagine, she was actually one of the old Gemini coven members, and then her sisters could have actually been killed by like Stefan or Damon or even Klaus. BUT we know that's not the case, it was just a funny thought I had. I wanna know more about her.

AND ON THE SUBJECT OF WANTING TO KNOW MORE

• Finch is... all over the place. Ethan telling Josie to be careful with her, and apparently he told Maya the same thing? I'm sorry but I'm trusting Ethan, something is definitely off here

• Again, not a theory but a funny thought, imagine if my joke about how similar she and Qetsiyah look turned out to not be a coincidence and they actually are related. They talk about Finch in the same kinda way they talked about Qetsiyah (i.e. crazy girl who gets jealous and overly angry and bitter when she feels betrayed in a relationship). Just another funny thought!

• I honestly don't mind Hope still being heartbroken about Landon. It makes sense. Teenage girl lost her boyfriend. Grief takes time. And yes, I know, these shows usually sweep grief under the rug in an episode, so it's annoying that they're actually taking the time with this one when they don't usually, but I'm a little glad it's not a one epispde storyline like most of the storylines in this show

• And she has a right to be kinda pissed about the ascendant? I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MG TOOK IT AND HID IT! Did I miss something?? Does that actually make sense or they explained it and I'm just lost??

My actual favourite parts though

• Lizzie and Kaleb interaction!! They make a good team, even if they never stop bickering constantly. His expressions when she says just about anything? I love

• To add onto that, Hope and Kaleb interaction!! And all three at once?? Beautiful. That scene where Kaleb stops Hope from hitting Lizzie killed me, they're too funny as a trio, this is why we never get to see them together

• I did actually really like Hope and Cleo's scenes as well. Cleo trying to help her process her emotions through art was really nice, especially because it's such a Klaus thing. Come on, the man painted with the blood of his enemies, painting with Landon's malivore remains isn't so bad.

• Just that whole scenes as really nice with the music, the little smiles, the looks at each other. Please let them be happy!! Don't take this away!!

• MG AND JOSIE INTERACTION?? Are we back in season 1 when they were supposed to be best friends?? Either way, it made me so happy seeing them togethet again. The whole truth weed thing was kind of hilarious, MG was very confused, but then that actual heart to heart was Beautiful

• Honestly, there are too many inconsistencies and weird plotlines in this show for me to really follow so imma just,,, leave them

• Ignoring Alaric's entire plot in this episode because Ew

• Everyone looked really pretty!! Kaleb in that suit? I melted everytime he was on screen. Lizzie with that hairstyle? A gorgeous queen. Josie with that cute outfit? Adorable. Cleo in the uniform? Those colours are gorgeous on her, I am in love. Hope? Beautiful. MG? Always handsome. Jed? LOVE OF MY LIFE, PLEASE, I DIED. Wade? Handsome as always. Finch? I'm still in love.

• All in all to say I was confused but not too disappointed. It was Something. We'll just wait and see what happens next episode, I guess. At least there was 100% less Ted, so I'm okay with that.

How Do You Solve A Problem Like Rebecca?

Spoiler-free review! in which I make no effort to sound intellectual I just really enjoyed the book lol.

Okay. I have been meaning to get around to reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier for some time now. 

As legend informs us, nothing inspires bookworms to read like the impending release of the movie version of a story, so I finally read the thing. 

Gurl. 

When I tell you it was not what I expected....

Maxim de Winter was quite something to contend with. I will say some of the ideas of how a woman should love her husband were very “of the 1930s” or whatever, but I’ll just leave that there. Ya just shake your head and roll with it while you enjoy the story, and try to forget about it later. 

Like really though...when he asks her if she loves him, she being 21 and he being 42, she says “you are my father, brother, and son...” 

My dude a simple yes would have sufficed, but alas.

That said...

There was something really refreshing about reading a classic novel where the leading lady is so painfully aware of her youth and ignorance. Like, it is constantly referred to and abhorred. She’s always like “it would be great if I didn’t feel like crying at any given moment,” and like she’ll hear people come into the house that she is the mistress of, and she legit hides behind doors and skedaddles into other rooms. Like what a mood, this is me in my day to day life tryna avoid feeling embarrassed in very simple circumstances lol. So yeah that was a lighthearted touch to an otherwise fairly dark novel. 

Also, it was hilarious and relatable and weirdly comforting to have a main character in a stylish sort of period drama where she’s constantly inventing little realities in her head, and being massively relieved when they don’t come to pass. It’ll be in the middle of a situation or plot point or whatever, and suddenly you’ll just have this page-long inner monologue where she’s predicting all the ways the thing is going to ruin her entire life, and then it....doesn’t???? and she’s like...??? Okay. And then rinse and repeat for every situation literally lol.

One of the best quotes I’ve come across in a long time was “I became a martyr to my own inferiority complex”, which is such a huge thread throughout this book! In the story she is so convinced that everyone is talking shit about her behind her back, that without actually having proof that they’re doing so, she teaches herself not only to believe it, but that she deserves it. She says something like she takes everything as a personal blow, when the comments to a mature ear would have landed lightly. I couldn't help but think how many times I’ve decided to be oversensitive and misinterpret what people are saying/meaning, and how many people I know who do the same.

And then the WAY that the plot twist hits mid-way through boiiiii I should have seen it coming but I simply didn’t. 

Like I really don’t wanna give anything away, but assumption and made-up versions of reality are such a thiiiinnnggg in this booooook my gooodddd its good. Okay? It’s good. 

Also...the movie looks like it wants to be really stylish and serious and aesthetically pleasing, which is great I love a good pretty movie, but I really hope it manages to capture her character as this shy, slightly ridiculous young girl who’s desperately trying to please/do right, without wanting to be noticed sorta thing. wishing she was perfect but also invisible. That made no sense. But I hope the movie captures her. :)

honourable mentions: 

adorable puppers Jasper

Angssssstttt

gothic setting - castle by the sea, in England? absofreakinlutely my man

great garden moments

creepy house keeper lady

actual tense moments and dark moments like yikes sometimes

ridiculous upperclassmen and people who wish to be them

the prose are you kidding me as soon as I finished it I wanted to start right over again

is it a ghost story? A thriller? Procedural drama? A romance?

In conclusion, yaaassssssss.

It’s a book that made me think long and hard about how I look at the world as a young anxious person. But in a non-confrontational, non annoying way. Like, not in a John Green kinda way (and I love John Green). Its in a “walk with me, be scared with me, cry with me” way. You don’t have to relate to her, but like chances are at least some past version of yourself probably will.  

You think you know what people think of you? You don’t. They’re probably not so bad, most people. 

You think you know who someone else is, based on the countless scenarios you’ve spun out in your mind and then reacted to, and maybe even based your own worth on? You’re wrong. 

You think you know who you’re going to be next week, or a month from now? Something or someone could come and shake your life by its shoulders, and you’d never have seen it coming. 

So...idk lol be open minded, be kind to yourself, gentle, courageous, and read Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. 

[yandere-daydreams]

I feel like if anyone had Thoughts about this it’d be you but : zodiac signs as yandere ?

I have so many thoughts on this!!! I’m assuming anon wants to know about sun signs only, so that’s what I did! Keep in mind that literally every single one of these will be biased towards how I view the signs, so if you disgree then.... sorry!! (This post also might be a little long because there are. Twelve signs.)

-

Aries - Okokokok...... I would like to think..... an Aries would be a possessive, but in a very aggressive way?? Like if they’re jealous of one of your friends they will not hold back. If you wont get rid of them in your life, they’ll do it for you with little hesitation. I feel theyd be romantic and flirty, and refusing their advances just is Not an option. They’ll often lose their temper if you misbehave too much, and it wont take much to get them to that point. They’re very loud and headstrong, and will absolutely manipulate you into doing whatever they want. They aren’t very affectionate, but if you ask nicely enough they’ll begrudgingly cuddle with you (and secretly enjoy it but shhh) Their punishments: severe. Their amount of remorse: zero.

Taurus - Definitely a more submissive yandere!! Probably a delusional and when you disagree with them or tell them theyre wrong, that you don’t love them, they will probably cry so much and not speak to you for days at a time as opposed to physically punishing you. Will not get angry easily and will repress any anger they feel until one day they snap and go Crazy and break your legs or something. They will not take kindly to your nasty remarks or constant attempts to free yourself from their captivity, but they will generally react very passively because they love you and would never want to hurt you (unless they really had to, of course)!! 10/10 will make you nap with them. Constantly.

Gemini - They’re probably a little delusional, but also really obsessive and clingy!! They will force you to cuddle with them for HOURS AND HOURS and just... play with your hair... and babble about their day and the weather and whatever to keep you in their arms. It’s honestly pretty nice and relaxing, and perfect if you’re okay with lounging around all day. They’ll probably really half-ass everything too. Like yeah you’ll be in handcuffs, but if you really tried you’d probably be able to slip out of them because they didn’t bother getting ones that actually fit. Also, everytime you lash out at them they will completely brush it off and deflect everything. They will just pull you into their lap and coddle you until you’ve calmed down and stopped saying such ridiculous things to them. Will also make really dumb jokes in conversations they have with you, and you will have to laugh no matter how awful they are. I mean, unless you want to be punished (read: cuddled) more.

Cancer - A soft yandere, baby!! They will pamper the HELL out of you. They will deck your room out with the nicest furniture, get you the /softest/ handcuffs on the market, bake you your favorite desserts, the whole nine yards!! They will comfort you when you cry about your situation, but will refuse to acknowledge that they are the reason your crying. Very delusional and very manipulative, will guilt trip you into being nice to them. Very powerful puppy dog eyes. 10/10 will kiss you on the forehead and apologize for every bad thing they’ve ever had to do to you.

Leo - They were probably the popular kid in school and you probably had a massive crush on them. When u finally managed to get their attention they never stopped paying attention to you. The next thing you knew, you were locked in their attic. They are very ambitious, and once they had their eyes set on you, no one was going to get in their way. Very possessive, will cut off all of your friends for you and be very jealous!! When the roles are reversed, though, and you get jealous of their friends, it’s fine baby!! There’s nothing to be jealous of!! ^3^ Will probably spoil you a little bit, but only if you havent pissed them off recently. If you’re mean to them they will take it so personally and be so dramatic about it!!

“Can you say something to me it’s been three days.”

“I thought my voice was annoying you >:T”

“Oh my god-“

Virgo - Protective protective protective!! Will lock you in a room with absolutely no furniture with sharp corners or anything you could hurt yourself on. An actual perfectionist, will put makeup on you, do your hair so there isn’t a single strand out of place, and dress you in color coordinated outfits ONLY. Will literally take the best care of you, but it’s overbearing how much they worry about your safety all. The. Time. You will more than likely never leave the house without them, and never without at least SPF 50 sunscreen on. Will attempt to be your personal therapist, but has never properly processed and emotion before, so... they aren’t very effective. If you attempt to escape, they will punish you severely.

“Ayo I sure wish I wasn’t HERE right now ahaha sure wish I was HOME and not with YOU.”

“Oh? Ahahaha okay!” *literally breaks your fucking toes* “See! You have to stay with me!! You could get hurt much worse than this in the outside world, you have to be more careful!! :)”

Libra - Probably protective and obsessive to a certain extent. Will probably be really sympathetic?? But like in a “I cant let you go I’m sorry the world is bad and scary and I don’t want you getting hurt.” kinda way. They would want to give you a little bit of freedom, though, so they’ll let you go out with your friends occasionally, but they’ll be VERY cautious and, well, protective of you. They are very understanding and give you lenient punishments when you push them over the edge and theyre ‘forced’ to punish you, but will not comfort you afterwards to compensate for the lack of severity of their punishments. Balance, baby!

Scorpio - An obsessive for sure. Literally IN LOVE WITH YOU. Will instagram stalk you, your family, your friends, your neighbor’s dogs, ANYONE that has ever been in contact with you. They already know everything about you when they finally execute their plan to kidnap you. They’re very attractive and strong willed and will put you in your place with no hesitation, but afterwards will attempt to kiss it better because they feel sorta bad. They just want you to love them!! They crave so much attention constantly, and will want to cuddle with you and be close to you at all times. You will have to be an excellent liar, because they will be able to call you on your bullshit so easily!! They will absolutely not tolerate any lying, so it’s better to justbe honest with them, even if you think it will make them mad. 10/10 will probably stare at you for hours on end without saying a single word and then watch you sleep. All lovingly, of course.

Sagittarius - P o s s e s s i v e. Can and will beat the shit out of anyone that touches you and will beat the shit out of you if you mention someone other than them to teach you a lesson. They have very bad commitment issues because they’re afraid of the people they love leaving them, and they overcompensate for it a lot. Probably actually a little bit out of their mind beyond the whole “I have my love interest locked in my basement” thing. Will give you the bare minimum amount of the things you need to survive and will deprive you of food and water for days at a time if you say something a little too nasty to them. Is really good at saying the right things to talk you down when you’re upset after a punishment or something. Very good at making you laugh as much as you hate to admit it!! 10/10 will probably turn to sensory deprivation if all else fails just because they’re sadistic like that.

Capricorn - Very responsible, planned a lot for your arrival. Very smart, rational, and protective, they have a plan for literally any situation thrown their way. They’re very fragile but they project it all onto you, and as a result they take very good care of you. They’re kinda intimidating but actually very sweet, and they love you more than they love themself. Probably rich because they’re really good at saving money, and they’ll spoil you with every cent they have. Bossy, and if you choose to ignore what they tell you to do they will make your life miserable for the next few days. Again, they’re very serious looking and intimidating, but they have a playful and carefree side that only really comes out around you!! They love you a whole lot, and make that very clear through the gifts they give you constantly.

Aquarius - Hear me out. Remember that tsundere yandere post Daydreams made? That’s Aquarius. They are very mean and nasty!!! A true goblin, honestly. They’re totally head over heels in love with you, but they’ll make you work to earn that love, even though you didn’t ask for it. You want attention?

“Haha nerd, why would I come cuddle you?? That’s like... weird... You’re gross!!”

Do they hate you, or do they want to marry you and ride off into the sunset with you? You’ll never know, because they wont ever let you get close enough to them to figure out what goes on inside that crazy head of theirs. Overall will probably treat you well, if you’re okay with the constant bullying and berating that you’ll get from them daily, that is.

Pisces - Soft like Cancer, but obsessive like Scorpio!! Has very strong feelings for you, but doesn’t know how to manage them in a healthy way. They want you all to themself, and the only way they know how to keep you in their life is by taking you. Very manipulative and delusional.

“Haha fancy seeing you here babe!”

“I am locked in your basement and I have been for the past seven months-“

“Crazy how we just keep running into eachother! Are you, like, obsessed with me or something?”

Like Virgo, they’ll try to be your personal therapist, but Pisces is actually good at it. You can never hide how you’re feeling from them, because if they pick up even the slightest difference in your tone of voice they will dig through their brain for any possible event that could have taken place to make your mood shift even the slightest bit. Crazy, but in a very loving and wholesome way. 10/10 would take a bullet for you!!

[mtt-metal-crusher]

Serious question tho, since you seem to be an expert on all things mettaton: Why do you think he's a little brat with burgerpants, but so nice to the rest of his staff?

I have a theory about that, actually:

Okay, first we gotta look at why Burgerpants doesn’t like Mtt:

1. Startled him when he was sneaking out glamburgers to Bratty and Catty in the alleyway, inadvertently causing his long-lasting nickname.

2. He makes up ridiculous rules and doesn’t let anyone challenge them. E.g. the Glamburgers made out of sequins and glue.

3. Everyone is strangely attracted to him even though he’s a rectangle, confusing and upsetting Burgerpants.

4. Makes him try on clothes “for holidays or specials or because he feels like it” which BP finds annoying. Burgerpants seems to be the only employee he does this to.

5. Tells him “don't think that means you're getting out of work early” when the barrier is broken.

6. Has a CD album he plays that’s about how bad at he is at his job.

Now, let’s take a look at why Mettaton might be doing this:

1. First of all, the fact that he was sneaking glamburgers out to Bratty and Catty is enough reason for Mettaton to be in the right here. This isn’t an example of an injustice being carried out. Burgerpants was literally stealing from work and he got caught by his boss. I wouldn’t say this is a reason for him to be angry at him, honestly. 

2. The ridiculous rules Mettaton makes up are because “that’s how they do it on the surface”. This might seem unreasonable because Mettaton has never been to the surface and could probably be more understanding of his staff. However, he is the boss. If he wants to sell sequin-glue burgers then that’s his choice. He’s obviously making money on them, judging by how loaded he is. Also, we don’t hear any other characters complaining about his ridiculous ideas. Perhaps it’s only BP who has a problem with them. We just don’t know.

3. Now, the fact that Mettaton, even as a rectangle, is sexy, isn’t really a reasonable excuse to hate him. Something tells me there’s a little jealousy there. Especially as BP wanted to be an actor and that’s the career Mettaton is excelling in...

4. The clothes are the most difficult to explain. Why is he making BP try on clothes-- just for fun? It could be that Mettaton simply enjoys it. He likes buying clothes for BP, perhaps not even realising how annoyed he is with him. He may think it’s just the fun they have together. People acting annoyed towards him? They love him really. Also, I’m sure it’s pretty damn hard finding clothes that fit a box. Maybe he’s buying them for BP to live vicariously through him. If he can’t wear the clothes, someone’s gonna have to. It’s just strange how he can’t find a more willing subject for this. But, like I said before, maybe he doesn’t realise BP hates it so much.

5. This is only a small thing, but it gives us insight into how Mettaton talks to him. This, I get, would be frustrating. But I honestly think that this is just how Mettaton talks to people. He makes jokes and teases them. Perhaps the reason no one else says anything about this is, not because he treats them differently, but because they take his teasing as it is- teasing! Maybe they think of him as funny in a “oh you~” kinda way. But BP doesn’t see it this way in the slightest.

6. The CD is actually justified quite well, in my opinion. BP is absolutely terrible at his job. Sneaking the produce out to dodgy ladies in the alleyway? Smoking on the job whilst talking to customers? Blabbering on to customers about his personal life? And these are only the things we know about! The fact that BP says Mtt doesn’t yell at him and just makes him listen to a CD actually sounds pretty generous. He’s lucky he hasn’t been fired. Though, judging by the clothes and the teasing, it seems to me that Mettaton has a bit of a soft spot for BP. I’m sure he’d be even more annoyed if he knew about this.

So, all in all, I’m pretty sure he doesn’t treat BP any different to his other staff, only that BP takes it in a different way! If anyone can think of any other reasons- I’d be happy to hear them!^^

[distant-rose-archive-blog]

I loved your fic rec posts and reviews for captain swan. I'm just wondering if you have a top writer list or something (like you automatically feel the need to read them if you see them post) and if you do, who is on it...

Hi! Thank you for the kind words. I do spend a lot of time and effort when I do get asked to rec things mainly because if I’m rec’ing someone or something, it’s because I love them and want to give them the praise and attention they deserve. With that being said, I’m always surprised how many notes my rec posts do get because I am virtually no one in this fandom. Literally a nobody. So when people ask for my opinion on things, I’m always flattered, surprised and very confused. Like now.

But anyway, I’m guessing that you’re asking who my favorite authors for Captain Swan are, and yes, I do have favorites. Please note that there are a wealth of amazing authors out there who put out brilliant fics and might deserve to be on this list, but those are the ten who come to mind. This is just the personal favorites of a fandom nobody. So without further ado, Rose’s favorite Captain Swan authors are as follows:

@welllpthisishappening​ | AO3 | Favorite Story: You Play Ball Like a Girl

She only has a few things posted right now, but so much coming in the works - all of it is just fantastic. She enjoys sending me on emotional rollercoasters and messing with my feels. As mentioned before, she’s one of my many true loves and writes epic sports fic that is both knowledgeable and realistic. (I will never get over her referring to Derek Jeter’s walkup in You Play Ball Like a Girl because that was the moment I realized she was my soulmate.) Regardless of whether it’s Captain Swan fanfiction, a story involving two idiots and a broken down amusement park or a huge epic fantasy romance involving time manipulation, I will fucking read her work and you should too.

@technicallysizzlingcloud​ | Favorite Story: Mawaige

Words cannot describe the quality of her work. The English language simply doesn’t have any word to truly convey the sheer amount of talent she has. The only way I can describe it is absolutely fantastic and that isn’t good enough. Honestly, the genre of her work varies, she doesn’t have a niche genre, but fuck me, she’s good at it all – pregnancy fic, angst, hurt and comfort, missing scenes, etc., etc. You name it and she can write a fucking masterpiece. There’s just so emotion that she conveys her fics and they also feel grounded in a way the show isn’t. A lot of her stories have become my personal headcanons. Her work is just a joy to read.

@unfolded73​ | AO3 | Favorite Story: Scent

Do you know how hard it was for me to pick out a favorite story for her? Pretty fucking hard. Like it’s basically a multiway tie between Scent, What Comes Next, New Babies Smell Amazing, Sex Ed and Another New York City Serenade. It’s just wonderful to read her interpretation of Killian and Emma because even when there’s conflict and/or angst, they’re still so loving and understanding of one another. It just slays me. Also, her smut is fantastic and she does write a lot of it. (I am not complaining in the slightest.) Furthermore, I love the way she writes the relationship between Killian and Henry. There are authors who add him as a footnote to their CS fics and she incorporates him well.

@sambethe​ | AO3 | Favorite Story: Casual Fridays

There’s no other way to put this, so I’m just going to say it plainly but sambethe is without a doubt one of my favorite smut authors. Not that all of her work is smut, because it isn’t but she’s just so excellent at it that it needs to be said. Anyway, on top at being epic at writing sex scenes, she writes one of the best interpretations of Emma Swan I’ve ever seen. Her Emma is closed off and on-guard but not unfeeling. While this seems like such a minor thing, it’s a huge deal because I’ve read a lot of really cold and basically unfeeling Emma’s in my fanfiction days. Hers is perfect; Emma still has her walls, but they always, realistically, come crumbling down. So yeah, come to her for smut and realistically done Emma.

@peglegsjones​ | AO3 | Favorite Story: I belong to you, you belong to me

Hands down probably one of the best kid fic authors out there. I don’t even know why I try to make a niche in the genre, because she perfectly meets the quota. I try to stay away from fully realized child original characters because I’m a horrible cunt and I’m like “yeah, but my babies” but her children are delightful and I’m content to live with the idea that her universe lives beside mine in a Jimmy Neutron/Timmy Turner kinda way if that makes any sense at all. Might be dating myself there. Anyway, her universe is delightful and creative, and I always look forward to reading more about Ian. If you haven’t read her work and enjoy child fic, then I don’t know where you’ve been hiding and you need to rectify it immediately. (Also I’m pretty sure if Ian and Wes officially met, they would destroy the world and Harrison would have an aneurysm.)

@acrobat-elle​ | AO3 | Favorite Story: Breathless

This is another author who I struggled with finding a favorite story for because she has a lot of amazing work. Make a Wish, Possession and Touch could have easily been in that favorite story spot instead of Breathless. Elle’s a triple threat. Like a lot of people on this list, she writes ridiculously good smut, but she’s also fantastic at writing angst and fluff. There isn’t a single story in her archive that wouldn’t recommend and I’m eagerly waiting to see how Harbor in the Tempest is going to end. (No pressure or anything. Take your time.) I don’t know what else to say other than she’s fantastic and you should stop just taking my word for it and just got read her fics.

@lenfaz​ | AO3 | Favorite Story: Separate Lives

Without a doubt one of my favorite alternate reality writers with multiple great works. Separate Lives is a masterpiece without question, but Private Dancer, The Pirate Chef, Old Habits Die Hard and The Rembrandt Files definitely deserve honorable mentions because I also adore those stories. The worlds she creates for her stories are clever, creative and honestly, just to a joy to immerse yourself in. She knows how to carry a story, which as more than I can say for some published authors who will start a story than it putters out and dies. Her stories are incredible consistent and my brain thanks her for it. Anyway, I am forever in love with her work and I’m currently following Time upon Once and you should to.

@justanotherwannabeclassic​ | AO3 | Favorite Story: Roses in December

Another queen of fluff and angst that I love. If you haven’t read Roses in December or Bloom, then you need to get the fuck off my page and go read them. Legit. They’re some of my favorite stories and as I mentioned before (I think?) I’m super picky about child fic and stuff. She has a lot of wonderful domestic focused stories that are so sweet that your teeth will rot out. I also have a great fondness for Lobbying, which I read right after the American Election to feel better about the bullshit happening in my home country. She’s definitely someone whose writing you want to read after having a shit day.

@this-too-too-sullied-flesh​ | AO3 | Favorite Story: Theoretically

Another author who writes some pretty amazing and wonderfully dirty filth. (I feel like I’ve been too honest about how much smut I read and now everyone is going to think it’s all I read. It isn’t, I promise.) Once again, that’s not all she writes and she does some amazing fluff pieces but she has blown my mind and caused many an evil grin to spread across my face in public spaces and make the fiancé nervous. While Theoretically is definitely at the top of my list, I feel compelled to also point out The Next Wounded Soul, A Good Man is Hard to Find, Miles to Go Before I Sleep and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOSER (I debated whether or not to put that in caplocks but the original title is in caps so why not.)

@killians-dimples​ | AO3 | Favorite Story: Put Me in Coach, I’m Ready to Play

Okay, if Laura made me fall in love with baseball!Killian, this chick with “put me in coach, I’m ready to play” made me want more of it. It’s literally one of my favorite stories of all time and is on my other rec list. With that being said, her brilliance goes beyond this one story and she has a very versatile selection of genres for you to read. I have a particular fondness for Sin Bin, and not just because it’s Jessica Jones inspired. Anyway, she got a super rude anon the other day about her writing taking the backseat and her “used to be so prolific and now [she’s] not,” which pissed me off because 1) she’s allowed to live her goddamn life and 2) she’s still in my top ten so that anon can rightly fuck off.

Forever (Part 5): Don’t Worry ‘Bout A Thing

Summary: You need a break from your life and end up making your way back to the pub you met Jessica at, where you run into the blonde again and a few of her friends, who help you forget all about your problems, if only for a little while.

Warnings: None

Word Count: 3,324

Catch Up on the rest of the story: Part 1 HERE, Part 2 HERE, Part 3 HERE, Part 4 HERE

I find myself back at the pub I met Jessica at earlier that day. When I started out, I was just walking around the small town, not really paying attention to where I was going as I simply enjoyed being out of that small, boring, cramped ass motel room.

It really is a pleasant surprise when I see the thick blonde curls I had been so impressed with earlier that same day. No way in hell would my hair stay like that for more than two seconds.

“(Y/N)!” Jessica calls out to me when she spots me through the crowd of people after somehow looking up at just the right moment from her spot leaning against the bar. I make my way towards her when she waves me over. “Didn’t think I’d be seeing you here again so soon.”

I smile at her. “Ya know I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad one.”

“Actually it’s a really good thing.”

I look at her with a confused smile before she continues.

“If I tell you why, you gotta promise me your work stayed at home, first.” She looks at me with a faux-serious expression, but I can see the humor in her eyes.

“Work never follows me where it’s not wanted, alright.” I laugh when she playfully rolls her eyes. That actually isn’t true in the slightest, but she doesn’t need to know that, and there’s no reason it can’t be true tonight.

“Okay. So the people I came with, because why would I be here by myself, are from the study group Andre and Lindsey were in with me. I want you to meet them in a nonprofessional way so that you sorta know who everyone is before the meeting Thursday.

“Guess it’s a good thing I was here and not somewhere else. Almost as if I was meant to be here.” I joke, and Jessica smiles at me. This should actually be a good distraction. The last thing I want to be thinking about is this fucking hunt. That and Sam. “Lead the way.”

The blonde takes my hand and pulls me through the crowded bar, the two of us constantly bumping into people who were either too caught up in the company they were with to notice or were too drunk to care. Finally, we arrive at a U-shaped booth near the back of the pub, far enough away from the bar’s other patrons so that its occupants weren’t disturbed but not so isolated that the waitresses forgot about them, what with having to deal with so many other parties around the bar.

“Kinda crowded for a Tuesday, isn’t is?” I ask, having to raise my voice over a sudden uproar of cheering for something I could probably care less about. “I get why you and your friends are here, but shouldn’t most of these people be in their dorms studying or something?”

What I say must have amused her because he next thing I know, she’s laughing.

“(Y/N), college students come here to get away from things like studying. Relaxing and just have a little fun from time to time, ‘cause God knows classes are stressful enough.”

“Ain’t that the truth” A guy comments as he slides into the booth Jessica and I have just arrived at. His sky blue eyes take me in, in a way that tells me that I am being analyzed, and not in a pervy kinda way. No, this is more like ‘trying to pinpoint my face as if he’s seen me somewhere before’ analyzing, which is ridiculous because where the hell would I have been in Cali that this guy would see me?

I haven’t been to California since I was fourteen. There was a case just outside Malibu, and my brothers and I somehow convinced our father to let us hang out at Venice Beach. Maybe he saw me there, but I can’t for the life of me think why some guy would remember my face. I’m a wallflower. Was then. Still am now.

“Guys, this is (Y/N).” Jessica gestures to me, and I wave shyly at being put on the spot as there are all of a sudden five additional sets of eyes on me. “She’s that kid reporter I was telling you about, but she promises she won’t be a buzzkill tonight.”

“That’s alright. Joshua will probably have that job covered as it is. He usually does anyway.” A girl with fiery red curls and emerald green eyes that could easily rival Dean’s exclaims from the center of the booth.

This receives a series of laughs from all around, and a glare from a man with long, blonde hair, who I can only assume is Joshua. This causes me to laugh as well, even if only lightly.

“Well excuse me if I can’t help the things I say. Sometimes I believe you should just say what’s on your mind, at that moment, lest it is gone forever. I refuse to apologize if some of those things are so honest or blunt that they seem hurtful or buzzkill worth. Life is like that sometimes.” The way he speaks holds some humor, but the look in his eyes tells me that his words are anything but. Honestly, I can’t help but agree with him. To a degree. Silently.

There are times when you should speak your mind and do whatever at the moment, without fear of reprimand or hesitation because you might never get the chance to ever again, but there is a line. At some point, you have to realize that your actions have an effect on others as well as yourself and you might not be able to do and say what you want because of them. I know some people who don’t seem to have the courtesy to take that under advisement.

“As long as you keep your thoughts and most importantly, you’re actions censored, and as withdrawn, I think the night should be a relatively pleasant one.” The ginger next to him spoke up, removing what I have to guess is his hand from her thigh underneath the table. “Especially around new people.”

Joshua merely shrugs before taking a sip of his beer.

“You’ll have to forgive our resident pig lash big mouth. Doctors still can’t seem to figure out what the problem is, but I’m determined to figure it out.” The girl stage-whispers to me, receiving several snickers from around the booth and the finger from Joshua. “I’m Amber by the way. I’m an undergrad at the school of medicine, and I know you hear most little kids say this, but I know I’m gonna cure cancer.”

My eyes widen at not only her words, but the level of determination held behind them.

“And what exactly makes you so different that the other thousand people in the country currently working their asses off in search for this same cure, if you don’t mind me asking?”

She doesn’t look offended; she just smiles at me.

“Because I’ve got more dedication that anyone you’ll ever meet. I’ve been working and looking into this since I was six years old. My professor says that I’ll be an expert in my field when I graduate. And I’ll graduate summa cum laude. I have the ranking and GPA to prove it.”

I don’t believe Amber to be a liar even though I’ve only known her all of five minutes and now know her whole life’s mission. The way she speaks and carries herself is all the proof I need that tells me at least she believes what she is saying is true. Looking around and observing her friends, the looks on their faces indicate some believe what she says is true, while others think she is full of herself.

“Even though Amber’s only an undergrad, she already has internships available at Mayo Clinic and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Supposedly some of the top research centers for cancer in the country.” Jessica tells me as she scoots in next to the redhead, leaving me to stand awkwardly at the head of the booth.

Blue eyes seem to notice this immediately gets out of the booth and gently gestures for me to slide in where he had been sitting. I lightly shake my head in polite refusal, but he insists.

“Come on, girly,” He says, holding his hand out for me to take, ���neither Rebecca nor I am gonna bite you.”

Rebecca must be the girl blue eyes wants me to sit in between him with. I look over at her, and she smiles kindly at me as she pushes her short, platinum blonde hair out of her face.

I glance over at Jessica, who is completely engaged in another conversation with the other occupants at the table and paying absolutely no attention to me or my inner struggle. At the end od the day, I realize that I’m probably just making a big deal out of nothing and that if something were to happen with theses people, Jessica would have given me a heads up. Something tells me she wouldn’t let anything happen to me and that she’s just an overall good person like that.

I take blue eye’s hand and slip into the booth next to Rebecca, and she introduces herself and her boyfriend as Brady – I now know blue eyes name to be when Rebecca comments on his chivalry at letting me sit down – slides back into the booth next to me, effectively enclosing me within the group.

I sit there and talk with the member of Jessica’s study group for a while, never once thinking about Sam or the case, just being a normal girl, hanging out with normal people – even if those people are like five some out years older than me. It’s an overall nice change from Dad and Dean. Rebecca tells me that she and her boyfriend, Justin, are both business majors and are currently engaged. I can’t help but be happy for them.

“How long have you two known each other?” I ask, wondering what spurred this on after Justin tells me the two of them have only been dating for six months.

Rebecca laughs at my question and leans back into Justin’s broad chest. “Since middle school. We’ve dated on and off since high school, but someone close to me died our senior year, and that made us realize how short life can be and that we want to spend every moment in it, together. Been that way ever since.”

As she finishes her sentence, Justin leans down and kisses her tenderly, drawing a series of ‘aw’s’ from around the table. I smile down at my hands, happy that love like that is possible for some people. You don’t see or hear stories like that every day or see people that in love, but when you do it just makes you think about your life and what could be. Or what was.

I’m suddenly aware of an irate, repetitious stinging sensation in my wrists. When I look at them, I realize that I have been pulling at the rubber bands on my arms for what must have been a good while because not only are my arms beginning to turn an irritated shade of red but apparently, I had zoned out because I flinched when Jessica said my name.

“What?”

“Tell them that I have nothing to do with their beers not being here because I was getting you and a plethora of other reasons,” Jessica asks me confidently, even though I have no idea what they were talking about a second ago, though my brain is beginning to fill in the blanks.

“Uh…yeah, the waitress’s probably can’t even see us back here with all the people movin’ around and about around here,” I say gesturing lazily to the spot we’re in.

“Yeah, that and the fact that, that guy over there keeps distracting all of them from doing their jobs.” Brady huffs out, swallowing down what’s left of the beer in his mug.

I go to turn to glance over my shoulder at the man the brunet was referring to, but before I can, Jessica gets up, grabbing my hand in the process and says, “Fine. I’ll go back over there and ask again, and I’ll take (Y/N) with me since you guys apparently don’t believe me.”

“It’s not that we don’t believe you, Jess,” Brady says as he stands up to let me out of the booth. “but taking (Y/N) is definitely a good idea so she can guide you back in case you get lost.”

“Oh, shut up, Brady!” Jessica yells playfully over her shoulder at the sandy blonde as she drags me away, and I can only hear Brady laughing as we go.

We push our way back through the crowd in order to get back to the bar. Once we arrive at a miraculously open space at the bar, Jessica flags down the bartender and asks him about th drinks she had ordered just before I came into the pub, at which point he apologizes and goes to make them.

“So what do you think?” Jessica asks me after the bartender walks away. “About my friends I mean.”

“They’re really cool. Funny definitely.” I have to lean in and practically yell my answer in her ear because of a group of frat guys that are acting drunk, loud, and stupid.

“Yeah, they’re normally a lot calmer when they’re not drinking. Somewhat.Except for Josh and Amber.The two of them are always like that. I actually think they might have been showing off for you. All of them. Not every day that a reporter, no matter the age, comes to talk to us. You know what, forget reporter. It’s not every day that we have new people, in general, join our little group, save for when one of our significant others is visiting. Even if these particular circumstances are a little dull.” Just then, Jessica reaches into her pocket and takes out her phone. “Speaking of significant others,” She says smiling at her phone with that same look in her eyes that I saw yesterday.

“You go ahead and take that; I’m gonna head to the little girl’s room. I’ll be right back.” As I get out of my chair, Jessica answers her phone, and her faces seems to brighten even more if that’s possible, lighting up like a Christmas tree as she hears the voice of who I assume is the man she loves on the other end, even though it’s so loud in here I could barely hear here when the two of us were speaking aloud.

I shimmy my way through the crowd once more, catching a brief glimpse of the frat boys who are playing some sort of drinking game.

God, I hope college kids aren’t like this all the time. I bet Sam doesn–

What am I doing? Two seconds away from Jessica and her friends and my mind is back on the problems of the past. Maybe it's here. This is where he supposedly left after he left us. I only say supposedly because I haven’t seen him yet and I know that the universe is a mean bitch and if he really was here, we would have crossed paths by now. Regardless, it seems that being here reminds me too much of him because he seems to be on my mind a lot; I see something of him in everything I do. Maybe coming here to California wasn’t a good idea. Maybe I should lea–

“Oomph,” Apparently I’m so caught up in my thoughts that I bump into someone. When I look up to apologize, I’m met with deep, forest green eyes glaring intently down at me. “Oh shit.”

“ ‘Oh shit’ is right,” Dean says, his voice tight with the anger that reflects perfectly with the look in his eyes. “What the hell are you doing here, (Y/N)?”

I contemplate telling him the truth, that I came here to forget about Sam and partially because he’s not the boss of me, but that would only increase his level of anger, but also make him worry about me and ask me questions about whether or not I want to sit out this hunt as he looks at me with pity in his eyes, and that would piss me off. So instead, I do what Winchesters do best.

I lie.

“One of the people I talked to earlier called me and told me she wanted to introduce me to her friends that I'm supposed to ‘interview’ on Thursday for the case. She was the only one who really knew the victims, and this group seems to be the only thing the two have in common so far, so I’m just following up on a lead. Unlike you.”

At my response, Dean’s face softens some, but his eyes don’t. I know that he doesn’t believe me, even though most of what I said really was true. So before he can open his mouth, I turn so I can see Jessica, who has returned to the table with the rest of her friends along with their drinks.

“You see that table over there with the three guys and three girls in the corner? The blonde is the one that called me.” I look back at Dean, who still has a look of skepticism on his face and doesn’t even look like he wants to believe me.

With an exasperated sigh and an eye roll, I pull out my phone and click on Jessica’s number, which just so happens to be the most recent number in my call log; I turn back around when I hear it ring. I see her stop talking and take out her phone, looking at it in confusion before answering.

“Hello?”

“Hey Jessica, it’s (Y/N).”

“(Y/N), why are you calling me? I thought you were just going to the restroom. Where are you?” As she speaks, she looks around, ignoring her friends, whose voices I can hear in the background asking what was going on.

“I did. Do me a favor and wave.” I say brushing off her question temporarily.

From where Dean and I stand, I can see the confused look on her face deepen, but she still raises her hand and waves, still looking around. When she finally spots me, I wave back and motion to Dean.

“My brother didn’t know why I was here,” I say with another eye roll. “Told him that I was hanging out with some of the local college kids.”

“Were you not supposed to be out?” She asks in confusion.

“While I don’t regret coming out, technically, no.” I rub the back of my head nervously. “Anyway, I have to go now.”

“Aww, we were having so much fun.” She genuinely upset that I have to leave, and I can’t help but feel something warm in my chest at her dismay.

“I know, but you’ll see me again on Thursday.” I smile at her, and she smiles back. “Tell everyone I said sorry and I’ll see them at the meeting.”

“Of course.” She says before hanging up.

“Alright, you have your proof, now we can go,” I say with a little bit of bite in my voice as I turn back to Dean, who is still looking at the table.

I didn’t really want to leave. I was having fun with Jessica and her friends. I’ve never just hung out with regular people like that before, then Dean had to come and ruin it like that. And I’ll probably never get another chance to do something like that again. Well maybe on Thursday, and I’m gonna make damn sure he and Dad aren’t there for that.

“Yeah, sure.” He says distantly as I push past him and exit the pub.
