#oof .. im sure i missed something but im exhausted

[kaylinalexanderbooks]

Im trying this again COME ON

Draft Five (2021-present)

“It seems weird,” I said, almost walking backwards to keep an eye on her as I turned around the corner of the school. “Like—ah!” My boot got caught on the grass, causing my feet to slip. I tumbled onto the ground and dropped my violin, the “oof!” that followed indicating Ash tripped over the sturdy case.

It was eerily quiet and the smell of the exhaust was gone. I became hyper-aware of the grass I lay in and shot up to a seated position, jumping when I realized nothing was in sight but a dizzyingly-clear horizon.

Ash groaned beside me. “Since when does Falcon have grass—” She cut herself off as she pushed herself upright, taking in the sudden new scenery.

We sat in the middle of a seemingly endless field. The grass that stretched in each direction appeared freshly mowed, though it lacked the smell that usually came with it. Instead, a chillingly sterile air hit my nose.

“Ash,” I asked, low-key freaking out, “where are we?”

Ash looked around. “Where did—how did we get here? Where’s the school?”

I couldn’t answer. The sun that had been burning in the late afternoon was no longer casting a deathly heat paired with Houston humidity. In fact, looking up, the burning mass seemed to be missing, despite the sky being a soft periwinkle.

“Okay…” Ash said after a moment, standing slowly. “Maybe if we go back the way we came, we’ll return to the school.”

“Right,” I said, rising to join her. “That—that makes sense.”

We retrieved our stuff and tried to retrace our steps. We walked a couple yards, but nothing happened.

“We could’ve gotten turned around,” Ash pointed out. “Maybe there’s one specific spot we have to step in to get back.” She sighed, setting her stuff on the ground and sitting beside it. “Give me a second to think.”

“Think about what?” I asked, joining her.

“A way out? A way back? What the hell is happening?”

“Maybe we’re dreaming?”

“Isn’t that cliche?”

“Then we’re hallucinating!”

“More cliche!”

“Well, you think of something!”

We were both silent.

“Okay,” said Ash, breaking the silence, “let’s look at the facts: we were at the school, then we were here, right?”

“Um,” I squeezed my eyes shut to think, “no, we tripped.”

“You tripped,” Ash clarified. “You tripped over grass.”

I nodded. “So that means we were here when I tripped. Um, yeah, I remember the sound and smell suddenly disappearing.”

“There, then here,” Ash paraphrased herself. She began to play with the criss-cross ring on her middle finger, which she usually did when she was thinking. “That kinda sounds like… a portal?”

I curled my knees up to my chest. “But portals aren’t, like, real.”

“Do you have a better explanation?” Ash asked, then she let out a small exclamation as she dropped the ring in the grass. She went on her knees and began feeling around for the ring.

I chewed on a chunk of my hair, trying to hold back the anxiety building inside me. My mind raced. The stale air against my skin, the tickle of the grass, and the sheer uncertainty I felt gave the whole situation a verisimilitude appearance.

I laughed weakly. “Verisimilitude,” I said aloud, spat out the hair, and continued, “Remember that word? ‘The appearance of being true or real’. That took forever to memorize on that—”

“What the—”

“Ash?” I asked at her sudden exclamation. “You okay?” I turned to make sure she was but jumped when she wasn’t there. Just her backpack.

“Ash?” I said, standing abruptly. I looked around in all directions. “Ash?!” I said louder. No response.

I wrung my hands through my hair, my eyes burning, as they did when stressed. I had no idea what was happening, and frankly, if whatever was happening even was happening.

I had to be dreaming. This didn’t make any sense otherwise.

I tried to sit on the grass to contemplate everything when I hit something hard. I cried out in pain and shot up, rubbing the now-sore spot—feeling awkward even though no one was around. I turned to see what I hit and jumped when I saw millions of colors shoot up from the ground. I looked around and watched the endless field disappear from view.

I must’ve hit my head on the concrete. Yes, that made sense. A sudden panic of long-term injury caused me to reach up to touch my head. I didn’t feel any sign of injury, but that didn’t mean anything. Maybe I was hallucinating the lack of injury. My breath quickened as the colors around me grew bigger and more vibrant.

I looked down at the ground and watched as the colors erased the grass.

“Oh, shit!”

The ground disappeared and I fell through a tunnel of millions of colors I never knew existed. Is this what it’s like to have more photoreceptors? Is this how shrimp see? I would’ve been in awe if I wasn't falling to my death.

The air whipped around me—my braids disconnected where I’d tied them in the back, causing my looser hair to partially obstruct my vision.

A bright light forced my eyes shut, the inside of my eyelids red. I felt warm and safe around it, but it was too bright for my taste.

Without warning, I hit the ground on my feet, stumbled, and fell on grass again.

Finally, Lexi doesn't pass out! Right off the bat, there's so much more ACTION in the scene. The characters are constantly moving and looking around which helps the scene feel more dynamic. Lexi's sensations about where she is help feel like we're there. Even more dialogue has been added, and finally we get a strong sense of both characters' personalities as Ash logically walks through the situation and Lexi answers practically as she tries to calm herself down. Lexi's constant worry and panic and general anxiety is also a great character trait of hers to emphasize in this situation. The trip down the portal is given the time it needs, and she doesn't pass out, which allows for a better description of what's going on and transition to the next scene.

@mk-writes-stuff you sent an ask but Tumblr has eaten this so many times but I WILL ANSWER IT

I'm just trying it in a normal post.

It's called the shop talk ask game (here)! Thanks so much for the ask!

🌓- Show us a snippet of a before and an after between drafts! What did you change and why?

This is a good one! Since TSP has been around for so long, I have five main drafts to pull from! One of the scenes that has always stayed is, of course, the discovery of the portal. I posted a WIP Wednesday a while back that went over the five different ways, but as a treat I'll post longer excerpts and go into detail about what changes.

This should be long, so it's under the cut!

Draft One (2013)

The beautiful blanket of May flowers stretched out all the way… to my house. <3 I sighed. Nothing was better than… “AAAHHH!!!” I whirled around. Aurora had disappeared! I moved the grass where she had been standing. A rock. A metal rock? I stood up, confused. I put my bag down, next to Aurora’s (which she probably dropped) and felt the rock with my hand. “AAAHHH!!!” I screamed. EVERYTHING WENT BLACK

In my defense, I was ten. No paragraphs, a random heart, no ending punctuation, random ellipses-- it's a mess! The action goes way too fast, the first sentence does nothing to convey the imagery I was going for, and Alexia and Aurora's personalities are not given a chance to shine at all in this. It's unclear what happened when Alexia touched the portal or why she passed out. Obviously, when rewriting this I decided to add a bit more detail and pondering.

Draft Two (2014)

I was so busy daydreaming that I wasn’t talking to Aurora like I usually do. I snapped out of my daydream just in time to hear a scream. I turned around as fast as I could to see what Aurora was so scared over. But all I saw was a backpack. I didn’t even see Aurora. [Chapter break] I stared in the place that I was pretty sure Aurora was standing. I stared at the backpack. I was pretty sure that it was hers. I looked at the name plate. Yup. Her handwriting. Aurora Austin Where was my friend?!?!?! I looked all around. Nothing. The only place I hadn’t looked was the ground. Why would she be in the ground? I have no idea. But it’s worth a try. I moved the grass. The only thing I saw was a rock. As I looked closer, the rock seemed to be metal. I crawled a little closer. It still looked metal. I reached out to touch it when…. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I was falling through nothingness. All I saw was a bunch of rainbows swirling around me. I kept falling and screaming. Then everything went black.

Technically, I succeeded in my original goal. The pacing is still fast, but slow enough for the reader to process that something has happened. Alexia gets the chance to look around and wonder where her friend was, but instead of authentically noticing the backpack or looking at the ground, it's like the book is forcing her to do those things so the plot can happen. The portal itself gets more description, now with the addition of rainbows swirling around Alexia, but it's unclear what happened when she actually touched the portal or why she passed out. We don't get a lot of her personality here, since most of her actions could've been done by anyone. In revisions, I knew I needed more character, descriptions, and dialogue in order to make the pacing better.

Draft Three (2015)

I had been so into daydreaming I hadn’t realized we weren’t anywhere near the meeting place. Instead, Aurora and I were in the middle of the field. I looked around, but I didn’t even see the school. “Where are we?” Aurora shrugged. “I was just following you.” She set her black-and-white backpack on the ground and started to go back where we came from. “I’ll try and find the school! I’ll come back if I do!” I watched her go for only a few feet. Then she disappeared! I ran to where the last place she was, but the only thing there was a rock. [Chapter] I stared at the spot where Aurora was standing. The rock was still there, and a few feet away was her backpack, but Aurora herself was nowhere to be found. I set down my backpack and violin and crept forward. I looked at the rock. It looked metal. I got out my metal detector just to check. Yup! Definitely metal. Then I thought of a crazy thought. What if the rock was a portal? I knew it was impossible, but it was the only explanation to why Aurora disappeared. If it was a portal, what was on the other end? Air? No air? Well, whatever was behind it, I knew I had to go. Aurora was in danger. Possibly. Actually, I don’t know. It might be Band Land over there with all the boys you can crush on. I slowly crawled away from the portal and shuddered at that thought. Band Land would be anyone who wasn’t in band’s nightmare. Band is just noise to me, so Band Land must be torture. I shook the thought away. That was a stupid thought. Maybe this was a dream. Well, usually in dreams you don’t think they are dreams, but I actually did have a dream inside a dream, and I knew I was dreaming then, but in the dream, the edges around my vision were a little foggy, and I could see perfectly fine here. Well, except for the fact I wear glasses. Without them, I can’t see worth crap. I crawled back to the rock. Last year, we learned metals rusted after rain. And it was super rainy this year. So, why was it shiny? This was frying my pour brain. Despite whatever was behind there, there was still a chance Aurora could be in trouble. Without thinking, I reached out my hand and touched the rock. I watched as the field dissolved around me. It soon seemed like all the color didn’t matter anymore, and soon, rainbows were all around me. I stood up and looked around. The field was gone. Rainbows were in its place. I looked at my feet and saw that the field hadn’t disappeared completely. I was standing on the only patch of grass above a long tunnel. A tunnel that was going down. “Oh, crap,” I said as the grass disappeared. I hovered in the air for a moment, then I started falling. Then the millions of color all came together in a blackness.

Now we finally have the addition of what I now call The Gateway before the girls find the portal. This was mainly added to help with pacing so Alexia and Aurora could react to weird things happening together (which means I had to play catch up with the world building aspect of it but yes that's why it's so convoluted... PACING!). Already, the addition of dialogue helps break up the narration and add more variety to the story. Alexia does get more character moments here, with her inner monologue and tendency to overthink (in this draft mainly), though the tangent about Band is quite weird. She did figure out the rock was a portal, so at least that's out of the way. The portal forming gets much more description than it has. However, despite her character moments, Alexia doesn't get a lot of emotions regarding the situation, and Aurora gets two lines of dialogue. Still in need of improvement! Next draft!

Draft Four (2017-2020)

Ash laughed, then stopped. “Um, Lexi…? Where are we?” I looked around. The tennis court wasn’t anywhere in sight. In fact, neither was the school. Ash and I were standing in the middle of a seemingly endless field. And as far as I knew, there were no fields anywhere near Falcon, except for the football field. I set down my backpack, binders, violin--all the crap. “I don’t have any clue.” Ash set her backpack beside my stuff, and the two of us surveyed our surroundings. “Where did—how did we get here?” Ash soon asked. I had no answer. All I saw was grass, and more grass...and more grass…. “Okay,” I said. “Maybe if we go back the way we came, we will return to the school.” “Right,” said Ash. The two of us retrieved our stuff and turned back the way we came. We walked a couple yards, but nothing. We dropped our stuff again, and sat down on the grass, our backs facing one another, though not touching. “I can’t believe this,” I said. “I’d say we were dreaming, but that’s a little cliché, and I’m never aware that I’m dreaming in my dreams, so either we’re experiencing a very strange reality, or we’re hallucinating.” I laughed weakly. “Verisimilitude. Remember that word? ‘The appearance of being true or real’. That took forever to memorize on that quiz, right?” I waited for Ash to answer, but she was silent. “Ash?” I asked, making sure she was okay. I turned around, about to say something based on her reaction, but she wasn’t there. “Ash?” I said, standing up. I looked around in all directions, but there was no sign of Ash. “Ash!?” I said louder. Still no response. “ASHLEY!” No answer. I fell on the soft, green grass and tried to hold back the tears, as I often did if I were stressed and felt lost, not a clue what to do. I had no idea what was happening, and frankly, wasn't even sure it was happening. I fell on my back to contemplate what happened when I hit something hard with my head. I cried out in pain, and shot up, rubbing the back of my neck. I turned to see what I hit, and jumped when I saw millions of colors shoot up from the ground and wrap around me. I looked around and watched the endless field disappear around me. I must’ve hit my head hard. I looked down at the ground and watched as the colors started to erase the grass around me. “Oh, sh—” The ground disappeared completely and I fell through a tunnel of millions of colors. I never knew there were so many in the world. I would’ve been in awe if it weren’t for the fact that I was falling to my death. I ended up spinning around somehow, which caused me to fall headfirst down the tunnel. At the end, I saw a bright white light. Was it Heaven? Was I dead? The light became bigger and brighter and whiter as I fell closer, and closer, and closer. Soon I landed in the light, and I felt it enclose around me, sucking me up in its brightness. I felt content, safe, and warm in the light. But then I felt a cold wind at my feet. I felt cold air-like ropes tie themselves around my ankles. I was suddenly yanked down. Then everything went black.

For the first time since Draft One, this scene doesn't have a chapter break, and I think it flows a lot better like this. The pacing is better, and we have much better characterization for Lexi. She has a constant inner monologue with her thoughts, opinions, and emotions about what's going on. There's even more dialogue now to help make the scene feel more natural. Now, where would I improve it? Well, the rope things for the portal is a weird addition. Ash still gets no true characterization. While Lexi emotionally reacts to things, I wouldn't mind more. The descriptions are bare bones, and while I can see what's happening to an extent, it's hard to feel like I'm there. Also, why did Lexi black out? Very unclear. So let's do this one more time.

This is all they're letting me post so to be continued....

∿°  monterey’s  local  lost  soul  was  just  spotted  on  the  beach  .  sophia  di  noto  was  blasting  beautiful  people  by  ed  sheeran  through  their  airpods  .  it’s  insane  how  similar  they  look  to  ariana  grande  .  according  to  residents  ,  they’ve  been  given  a  reputation  of  being  reticent  ,  but  also  altruistic  .  rumor  has  it  ,  she  was  lied  to  about  who  her  biological  father  was  .  it  won’t  be  long  ‘til  it’s  everywhere  .  (  cisfemale  &  she/her  ) 

 hi  babes  !  my  name’s  allie  ,  i’m  nineteen  and  i  live  in  the  cst  timezone  .  i’m  probably  the  most  socially  awkward  person  existed  so  pls  ...  bear  with  me  DKSJABH  .  i’m  also  rly  dumb  and  u  can  always  hit  me  up  to  scream  abt  our  muses  .  and  also  expect  to  be  tagged  on  things  almost  as  soon  as  we’re  done  plotting  bc  yeah  i’m  annoying  like  that  :’D  but  enough  abt  me  ,  let  me  introduce  u  to  miss  sophia  .  my  intros  are  trash™  but  i  hope  this  is  helpful  !

BACKGROUND

first  of  all,  sophia's  mom  is  a  well-known  actress  that  had  a  fling  with  a  non-celebrity  and  got  pregnant.  she  had  no  support  from  the  father,  thus  in  order  to  avoid  controversy  and  bad  press  she  promptly  married  her  film  director.  

this  was,  as  well,  kept  a  secret  from  sophia.  which  didn’t  really  matter  until  her  mother  gave  birth  to  her  second  child  and  sophia  was  practically  left  behind.  she  never  understood  why  her  parents,  or  more  specifically  her  “father”,  treated  her  as  if  she  was  invisible,  and  with  time  she  began  to  realize  she  no  longer  fit  in  with  her  family.

so  sophia  learned  to  be  independent  at  a  very  young  age,  and  she  tried  her  best  not  to  get  emotionally  attached  to  anyone  believing  she  wasn’t  worthy  of  any  love.  alone  time  also  became  a  necessity  and  she  enjoyed  doing  things  all  by  herself  the  most.  

being  constantly  followed  around  by  a  camera  and  pretending  to  be  a  happy  family  at  every  event  was  something  sophia  always  found  exhausting  and  part  of  her  just  wanted  to  run  away  from  that  life.  

however,  not  knowing  where  else  to  go  or  what  to  do,  she  kept  giving  her  best.  she  graduated  college,  and  unlike  her  sibling  who  followed  their  parents’  same  path  to  fame,  sophia  wished  to  remain  as  anonymous  as  possible  and  became  an  ethical  hacker.

years  later  she  was  able  to  use  her  skill  to  topple  a  corrupt  corporation  and  nothing  made  her  happier  than  finally  making  a  name  for  herself  instead  of  coasting  off  her  parents  achievements.  and  began  to  realize  being  known  and  respected  wasn’t  all  that  bad  after  all.

things  were  just  turning  out  for  the  better  when  her  biological  father  reappeared  in  her  life,  and  though  all  the  pieces  finally  clicked  into  place,  she  was  angered  and  heartbroken  for  everything  she  was  put  through.

sick  and  tired  of  her  family  drama,  sophia  moved  to  monterey  and  wishes  take  a  break  and  stay  away  from  trouble.  (  which  clearly  isn’t  going  to  happen  !  )  

PERSONALITY

sophia  is  v  secretive,  she  has  a  hard  time  opening  up  abt  her  feelings.  however,  she’s  a  rly  good  listener  and  is  always  willing  to  help  others.

she’s  also  loyal  to  those  she  cares  about.  if  she  likes  you  she's  going  to  be  there  for  you  forever  !!!!!

like  i  mentioned,  she’s  likes  to  be  alone  most  of  the  time  and  she  doesn’t  go  out  much,  but  if  u  offer  her  a  drink  she  won’t  turn  u  down,  like  ever.

she’s  not  the  most  sociable  of  people,  but  she’s  actually  rly  sweet  when  her  walls  start  to  break  down.  

sophia’s  also  very  pessimistic  and  she  believes  most  people  approach  her  to  get  something  from  her.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

a  roommate  !  someone  who  lets  her  crash  at  their  place  until  she  knows  what  to  do  with  her  life

besties  pls  ..  my  girl  needs  friends  she  can  trust

im in chan soft hours SORRY but imagine being super sad and tired one day and he does anything he can do to make you feel comfort :( he would cuddle you while playing with your hair, cook for you (I CAN SEE HIM DOING THIS), and also try to make you smile by cracking some jokes :(((((❤️ ㅠㅠ

— 🎞

NOOOOO THIS IS SO SWEET :(((( okay but i want this so bad someone please get me a lee chan ;-; he’s someone who’s pretty sensitive/observant to other people’s emotions so he’d notice the exhausted, sullen expression on your face really quickly, immediately asking you if there’s anything you need as he pets your hair and wipes your tears away (if you’ve been crying). his voice would be so sweet and gentle as he coos at you, stroking your cheeks before pulling you into his arms and pressing kisses to the top of your head :((( he’d hold your hands too, interlacing your fingers together while his thumb softly strokes over the back of your hand as he murmurs words of comfort and encouragement. once he senses that your mood has lightened up a bit, he’ll cheer you up by cracking some jokes or using some cheesy pick-up lines on you, or tell you about something funny that happened to him/the boys, heart bursting with affection and love when you giggle a little because he’s missed seeing you smile and he just wants his baby to be happy :(((( and i agree he’d definitely do things like cook you dinner and run you a bath because he loves you and wants you to feel loved 💔 in conclusion i am sad and i want him so bad lee chan when ;-;

(btw i got your other ask bestie and OOF it made me so 😵‍💫 i’ll be sure to get to it soon hehe <33) — admin lily

[sningo-prompts]

Now I want to hear about the first time Emmet saw Ingo lose to his instincts. Sounds really angsty and you are indeed good at doing that

Took me a moment to get back into the angst but my brain went DING like an oven so now im ready. Though idk how indepth this is gonna be.

Im back after finishing this up! This isnt at all what i had in mind originally but it took me a bit longer to get the angst train going and i lost the idea so i hope this is ok. Its not very long but it is like one huge paragraph. Who knows what kinda typos we got.

Its very early on in Ingos return home. Hes still very Injured. Though im gonna have Emmet 100% sure this is Ingo. So Emmet had Ingo resting on the couch next to him when it happened. Ingo was having quite the nightmare. Emmet started hearing Ingo whimpering in his sleep and set to waking him up. Heres the thing Emmet might have been a little y and gotten a little too rough with Ingo to wake him up. So Ingo wakes up scared and now in pain. His sneasel brain overwhelmed him thinking he was being attacked so it kicks into over drive. He swipes put at Emmets hand, just barely missing it. Emmet jerks back shocked. Then when he moves again Ingo books it. Quickly hiding in his old room under his desk. Emmet is worried because his brother not only attacked him and growled at him but he ran from him too. Emmet quickly follows and finds Ingo. Its not that hard hes big and white. Ingo is bunched ingo a corner under the desk eying Emmet and growling at him. Slowly Emmet approaches. Though when Ingos growl gets rather loud Emmet stops. Hes maybe three, four?, feet away from Ingo. He kneels down and every so softly calls out to his brother. Oh please please let him still be in there. He cant lose him again. Not like this please. Emmet slowly goes to reach forward only to stop when Ingo hisses harshly at him. Oh Emmet cant take this its getting to be too much. In his mind hes spiralling pretty rapidly. He goes to move a little closer and Ingo tries to back up and then felling hes cornered swipes out again. Emmet pulls his hand back and just looks into Ingos eyes. All he can see is the eyes of a wild angry pokemon. His arms droop to his sides. He looks down and starts tears fall to the floor. Hes gone isnt he. I just got him back and im all alone again. What do i do. Finally after hearing Emmet softly cry something in Ingo clicks and he blinks the instincts away. Oof his body very much so hurts. A soft whimper gets Emmets head to snap up. What hes met with is Ingos eyes back to normal. A hardly audible “ingo?” is met with Ingo slowly nodding and reaching out for Emmet. Though he winces at the movement. Emmet is so relieved to see Ingo is still in there. Hes no alone. Ingos still here with him. Hes still here. Emmet is snapped out of his momentary joy by the sound of Ingo trying to call to Emmet but its cut short with a whimper. Oh right Ingos verrry injured. Slowly Emmet reaches out, hands still shaking, to help Ingo back to the living room. Ingo passes out in his brother hold from the exhaustion of the events. Emmet passes out on the couch from the stress of the events.

Ingo loses out to his instincts a few more times before Emmet catches on that he will alway come back. So he does panic as much but hes still afraid Ingo will one day fully lose control and never come back.

Pick A Pile: What’s Coming At you in love

So, a few weeks ago I started a pile that ended up feeling really heavy and just not what you needed to hear. Like, I think a lot of us were going through some stuff (and maybe still are) and at that moment, it wasn’t a love message you guys needed. So, today I did a new one and this one felt so much better and happier? Also, you can tell I’m procrastinating schoolwork. lol So anyway, this is about what’s coming towards you in love. Most of the piles seem to focus on things that are already kind of going on, but some seemed to be about new things. So, I really do have to ask that you please only take what resonates and not try to make anything that doesn’t fit, fit. My biggest fear is that I’m going to give someone some false hope, so if it really does not sound like you or your situation, then don’t take it. But, also, know that it’s a general reading so it may not fit you and it also may be just super vague. That being said, you can choose more than one because maybe there’s one with more of the message for you or there’s more than one person coming towards you? Anyway, just choose the one you feel most called to.

Today, I’m feeling a Musketeers vibe so I’m using a picture of the guys from BBC’s Musketeers for you guys to choose: 1: Aramis, 2: Athos, 3: D’Artagnan, 4: Porthos :

Pile 1: Aramis

Cards: The Empress, 7 of Wands reversed, King of Swords, The Hierophant reversed, 8 of wands reversed, Death  I kind of get the sense that this pile is one that's been alone for a bit. I mean, maybe not a really long time, but like some of you were. With the empress I see that you're taking care of yourself, and even though it's 7 of wands and reversed, I get kind of a 9 of pentacles feel from this particular card. In this one she's just smelling the flowers, but content. But with it reserved, I see like this idea of feeling alone? Like, okay the first song that played when I started this pile was Moonlight Lines by Movements, and it's about two people who just kind of want someone to fill their bed with them. Like, this sense of wanting another body with them. Basically, a one night stand, but also someone to sleep next to for a night, right? I'm not necessarily getting a one-night-stand vibe as what's coming towards you (really, not at all), more just that feeling of wanting someone to be with you at night. A body beside yours. And, like this empress energy is you taking care of yourself but also you wanting to care for someone else. And, 7 of wands being reversed can be an exhausted energy. Like a, when am I going to find someone? But, also, I draw that 9 of pentacles feeling from it too because it's not like you're not doing okay. Like, I think you've been fine alone, but now you're just bored. The next song that played was Love Took The Last Of It by Movements, and I kind of think maybe you've been burned and maybe it took you a while to feel better and want to open up again. Or, maybe you just kind of have a habit of getting into situations that aren't for you and they fall through, so like, you're tired of this. I get the Death card with that, like you want to end this cycle. And I see death as being that, an end to a cycle. I always talk about how much I love that card, it's the card of change. Like, yes it means endings, but beginnings too? So, like, you're just ready to move out of this energy of being alone. The hierophant being reversed to me means that whoever it is coming towards you is not really your usual type. Upright, the Heirophant is all about convention and playing by the rules, and reversed it'd be the opposite, though I'm not reading it that way with this reading. Especially not with the King of Swords showing up. No, instead I'm just reading the Hierophant reversed as maybe this is someone who maybe at first when you meet, you're kind of like, "Oh, I don't know. They're not really following the standards I look out for." I don't mean someone not good for you. I mean, like as in maybe you have a list in your mind and this person doesn't really have all of those things on that list. Maybe they check a few, but there's a few things where you're kind of thinking that maybe it won't work. But, with the King of Swords, I see that they're really honest, maybe to a fault. And, the king on this particular card is old, but I don't really think it's that way for everyone, though I feel like for many of you there is an age gap but I don't think it's one like in this card where the girl towards the bottom of the card looks younger and he looks like he could be her grandpa or something. But, I think that him being older here also might point out that one of you is really wise. Like, old-soul wise. So maybe this is someone you look up to? A mentor of some sort, or just someone you look to for advice. I'm not sure. This could be reversed, and maybe your older than them/they look up to you, and maybe it's even that you're not their usual type? With the 8 of wands being reversed, I see that maybe this is just going to take a bit longer than you'd want. Like, maybe you two need more time to get to know each other. Or, even meet I guess since this is more along the lines of what's coming towards you. Anyway, I see it as coming slowly. Maybe it's delayed a little (which, I mean, at least here in the USA, things are still pretty crappy with Covid and doesn’t look to be getting better) So, this might just be a while out. But, again, with the death card, I see it being an end of a cycle. So maybe before you both can meet or end up together/around each other, you need to close out some things. Like, the Death card REALLY sticks out to me today. And it's funny because, it's the Scorpio card, and so that's like around Halloween, right? The Lovely Omen's deck Death card is so pretty. She wears this black and white striped suit, and like, it reminds me SO much of Beetlejuice lol so I'm getting halloween vibes here, so maybe that's significant to you both, like maybe a birthday in Scorpio season, or the surrounding sign seasons through out like Oct-Nov? Or, maybe that movie's plot has something significant to you both? (seeing this also with King of Swords too, like air signs, so Libra season so, again, october?) Or, maybe it's as simple as it being black and white and like again going back to the Heirophant being reversed and this idea that this is someone who may not fit what you're originally looking for or vice-versa, maybe it's like stop looking at everything so black and white. Look at the greys in between, right? I also want to point out that she's also wearing a moon necklace on the card, and this deck has a lot of references to the moon and stars in the other cards, but this necklace always stands out to me because it's reminds me of how with change comes uncertainty. So maybe it's going to feel really uncertain, especially with the idea of looking at the grays in between? Like, its kind of scary, but like, nothing in life is ever really all that certain? So, like, this unknown is staring straight at you, and I think these cards are kind of saying, "You obviously know how to take care of yourself, so you're going to be okay. Just try something new" Like, oof. I don't know where that last sentence came from, but yeah! Exactly how I'm feeling about this! Or. This person does have gray hair. Lol i mean I’m fairly young for gray hair and I get them when I’m super stressed. Like, look at Logan Lerman, he looks GORGEOUS with gray hair (and Im his age so!!! High Five to us for premature gray hairs!) (Okay, I had written earlier that this didn't seem like new energy but I deleted it because I was like idk, but the song Seneca by Movements came on -which i have it on shuffle but for some reason it's only playing this album?- and it's about someone thinking about how they still love an ex who's now engaged and like how bittersweet it is how they enjoy how happy they look but they miss them and like! Idk! for some this is definitely an ex, but for others it just someone you know already probably!!!) So, maybe even if it's not someone new, it's a new situation? Like, maybe this relationship with this person, even if you've never been in an actual one with them, it's like new to you both. New territory. And, the song In my Blood by Movements came on because again, it's not really shuffling the playlist, lol, but this feels like maybe this is someone you just have a connection to. Like, even if you two haven't known each other that long, you just feel that bond. And like going back to that scorpio energy, its intense I think. In that King of Swords card, that lady looks like she's kind of worshiping this king, and I think it's going to feel that way for both of you. Hopefully not like an obsessive thing, but more like a, you both really have the hots for each other and at any given point, you're both playing that lady on that card, hanging onto the other like that. And he looks really serious, so maybe someone here is really serious and more of an all-work-and-no-play kind of person, but like I don't read that as an absolute bummer. I read it more as someone who's like, just really good at getting shit done, even the hard stuff. Also, he's got a great body lmao so I think you're going to end up being super attracted to this person, even if it's not a jaw-dropping eyes meet the first time story, ya know? Like I said earlier, it's kind of a slow burn I think. I don't have any cups here, which I guess might pose a problem, because at first it seems like a lack of emotions? But I have swords and wands so I see a lot of action. But I also feel like you connect on an intellectual level, like I get that with the Hierophant (even if it's reversed) and King of Swords. I also feel like you'll have like an earthy kind of connection. Like, even though I feel there's a lot of passion, I also see that you two can just chill. Bottom of the deck energy for the Lovely Omens Deck was High Priestess. So, I definitely read this as you kind of maybe having a feeling that this is coming towards you. Also, with the hierophant, even with it being reversed, in this deck she's wearing moon earrings, but they're crescent moons. So, it's like the moon is whole with the two halves, and I definitely see that as another hint at knowing? Like, going back to the 7 of wands reversed and how I felt more of the 9 of pentacles with it instead, like you being alone for a while, but like maybe you kind of know something's going to happen. I think the death card also maybe says this to you, because you're aware that something's changing. Like, maybe you don't know exactly what, but it's changing and you feel this shift in the energy. The other deck has 7 of Swords here, and I really hate seeing this in a love reading, but I also kind of get that maybe it's just for those of you who do know each other, maybe at this exact moment you're not being truthful about feelings? Things that might be relevant: Taurus, Libra, Scorpio, October and November. Halloween. 13 or 31. 3, 7, Beetlejuice, I don't know! That black and white suit is so prominent to me today on that card! It always stands out but I never really thought about beetlejuice before, so lemme know if that resonates! Pile 2: Athos

Cards: Ace of Wands, 4 of Wands, Knight of Cups, The Hierophant, Judgement reversed, The Hanged Man With this one, I feel like someone in this is ignoring their feelings. Like, with the Hanged Man being here I definitely see that it's someone literally hanging back and thinking about things. And with Judgement reversed, I see that it's like a waiting period. So, I think this is an established connection, but like, nothings happening. Like, maybe not even communication, or like if there is, it's like you're not really talking. At least, not about what's going on between the two of you. And also Skin to Skin came on, and the first line in this song is interesting to me because it's "I'm certain that I'll circle back to you", so it's like neither of you are too worried, but maybe there's some frustration (but I don't really see that in the cards. They all kind of feel super chill, so I think whoever this is, they're really chill lol) There's also another line that makes me l think about this but also, the knight of cups gives me this vibe: "I know that you're so preoccupied..." And like, again, I feel this stagnation but like it's a chill one. Like you're both accepting that maybe it's supposed to happen? Just not now. And, so like this "preoccupied" person is like the hanged man, hanging back and thinking things through. I don't think it's that they're unsure. I think they know how they feel (the stars and the moons in her hair on the hangedman card definitely brings this to mind, like this knowing of the unknown, but also having hope, so it's like whoever this is, knows what they're not sure of if that makes sense! Same with the judgement card but she also has the sun on it! So she's holding all the hope, mysteries and happiness in her arms!!!) Ace of wands is like this new passion. Like, maybe after stagnancy is this moment where you two can express this passion, and with the Knight of Cups, I see that too. But, he's not moving on a horse like the other decks usually have. He's just sitting and look at that cup but looking really kind of...He looks like he's pouting honestly, but I don't get that from this. Like, he's looking at this covered cup and it's got stars, so again that hope is there. He has that hope, but it's covered up, so it's kept to him for now if that makes sense. But, with this ace of wands, I see a new start and like i think it's this start where he opens up that cup and out pours all those thoughts the hanged man had. And, the 4 of wands suggests this harmony that's coming with this. Like, you two just click and you balance each other out. And I'm sure you both know this. With this deck, sometimes you can read the looks on their faces two ways, like how the deck explains the card and also maybe a different way, so I kind of always can see two ways of looking at the faces. Some look sad but could also be contemplating things.  This card is definitely one of those cards. This one is about bringing difficulties to an end with alliances, I don't really think this was that difficult? Like, maybe I'm not getting the whole story. Maybe this period of stagnation has been a long time and you're both just tired of not seeing each other now or talking more, but like, I guess this is kind of you two coming together and bringing an end to this period of nothing. And the look on the one girls face, the one in the yellow dress, she looks tired but she looks so into this other girl, so like I think that's kind of what's going to happen. One day you're both are going to just simultaneously agree that you're done with this nothing and want something? Like, I don't think you're going to say it before deciding it but once it's decided you BOTH are going to be opening up your star cups and pour it all out. Bottom deck energy for this is the Death card and the high priestess. I wasn't going to mention it, but I almost feel like for a few of you, you should check out pile 1, mostly because Death was in that pile but also the High Priestess was bottom deck energy for that one too (just a different deck). But, these tell me that there's going to be a change. Like, I said you're going to get tired of this stagnation, and I think it's an end of a cycle within this particular relationship. And the high priestess brings back that idea of "I'm certain I'll circle back to you..." where there's a knowing that this isn't really done. It's just at a standstill. So, yeah. I think this stagnation will end. I don't know WHEN, I don't get a when. But, I don't think it's going to be FOREVER from now, especially because you did get 3 major arcana! Also, wands feels quicker and you got the ace of wands! So I feel like it's kind of a "whenever" kind of thing, which isn't very helpful. It could be tomorrow or next year, ya know? Though, as I was writing this the song 12 Weeks by Movements came on! So! For someone it MIGHT be 12 Weeks. It's interesting though, because the end of the song is something like "Fall in love and fall away", which I don't see that as an end, again kind of like you two caught feelings and then were put in a stand still? But, also with that 4 of wands card, it really feels like everything around them falls away around them, so maybe that's just kind of how you two are together. Like, you talk and there could be other people there, but it all falls away. You could be in a group conversation, but for some reason it feels like all the words you both say are pointed towards the other rather than the group? Again, take what resonates. If you know no one where your connection is like this than I really do not think this is your pile. Things that are relevant: Celestial bodies (like the sun, the moon, stars), butterflies (specifically pink and purple), Sagittarius, Taurus

Pile 3: D’Artagnan

Cards: Justice, The Star(s), Queen of Swords, 8 of Pentacles, 3 of Swords reversed, 3 of cups Justice was the first card to fall out, and immediately I knew it was about a group who got the short end of the stick or something when it comes to love. Like, I hear, short end of the stick, like. Okay, so Queen of Swords is always described as like a woman alone who's been scorned, but I usually don't go by that because I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who are Queen of Sword types who haven't really had issues with love, they're just kind of That Way. But, like with Justice, I definitely see this as someone who was hurt in the past by love. Like, again. Short end of the stick. New Song D by the Front Bottoms is playing and there's this part in the bridge where he talks about how someone sold him a bike for $50 when the brakes weren't working, so like he was cheated out of $50 when he thought maybe it was worth $25 ? Like, Okay. So, with this, I'm getting that he was cheated money out of this, right? And maybe that is the case for some of you, but I'm getting more of an energy cheat if that makes sense. Like, you put a lot of energy into someone and a situation, and all they gave back was 1/4 of what you gave, and I'm getting that because I think maybe they thought they were giving you more (1/2 but still not enough), but they weren't, and you were just cheated out of this and left feeling drained because it was all one sided. And, I'm not saying this person didn't feel anything for you, I mean, they might have felt something but weren't able to give back the same amount because of things going on in their life. Or they were just like that. And there's another part in this song where he says "You wouldn't start because I wouldn't stop" and maybe it's also like you were giving too much even for them to like, take? Maybe it was just too much on their end and couldn't receive that much and too much for you to give so then you're both left with a disappointing situation. I also see 8 of pentacles kind of confirming this, like so much hard work was put into it on your end, but not enough to make it balanced. And it is NOT your fault. Like I feel the need to tell you that you have a big heart and that it's not your fault that someone else couldn't accept it the way you needed them to. 3 of swords reversed tells me that you're healing, though. Like, this happened and it probably really hurt but now you're healing. For some, because there are 2 3's, I think this was a case of being cheated on, but I don't think that's for everyone. Like, I really feel more like this was an unbalanced give and take situation. But, with the Justice here, I see that it WILL be balanced and whatever is coming in for you, will be more balanced. I almost feel, though, like this pile is less about what's coming and more about how you'll be doing better? Like, what's coming is really good and balanced, but also, you're healing, and I think it's always really nice to be able to look back at a heartbreak and not feel as bad about it as you did before. Like, sure it's probably always going to give a pang, but like with time, it heals. And, I know you probably wanted so badly for this to work out with this person, and I'm so sorry it didn't. Trust me, All I've ever known is unrequited love, so I really get that feeling of that realization when it becomes clear it's not going to work. One deck's bottom card was the Ace of Swords, so again, like I think this was that clarity you had about it not working, but I also see it as you seeing that it's just that this was not meant for you and that there's something better. And, that better is the star and justice. Like, this new person is going to bring in a lot of hope an balance. Like, this star card has two people on it, and it kind of looks like they're balancing out, right? So, yes. Definitely a lot of balance. And this person, I think, is going to be a lot of fun. The 3 of cups in this reading, to me, is more about how I think you two are going to hit it off in a friendly way first. And like, this might not even be a romantic love. It could just be a really good friend you make or have that's with you through your healing. But either way, platonic or not, I think this person is going to be someone you can lean on in this tough period, but also someone you can have fun with. The same song, new song d, has a part in the chorus where he says "I fell down, you propped me up" and I see this as being how your relationship will go. When someones down, the other will prop them up.But this isn't going to be all take and no give like this last person. No, again, it's going to be super balanced. Bottom deck energy for the other deck was Knight of Wands and in my last reading I compared him to D'Artagnan in the Three Musketeers and I think when he's not off trying to save the world, he's a really fun dude. Also, this is kind of weird and I'm going to have to make sure in the picture I take I get one of this Knight of Wands, because on the top border there's this weird like squiggle shapes, but it looks to me like...bodies? (It's kind of like that with the Queen of Swords too, with the top border?) Like bodies doing yoga lmao but like. I think you two are going to be physical (like! not in a sexual sense unless you're old enough and consenting!!), but more in a, touchy, huggy sense. So again, that propping up, but like physically and mental propping up. But, also, like maybe you two are always kind of touching. Like, shoulders next to each other, knees colliding, hand holding. Oof. That sounds so cute! I'm a little jealous. OH! This is also kind of weird, but in the same card behind him are this shapes that look like fleur-de-lis! And that's so weird considering that I think of D'Artagnan, a musketeer when I see this card! Ah! Anyway, I just see this as super healing for you, whoever this is. The shapes also kind of remind me of phoenix's, so! Maybe that's a message there. Like, emerging from the ashes of your former self? This is weird, because the next song that came on was Sour, a collab by 1990nowhere, Olivver the Kid and others, but I think that's interesting because maybe it goes with the past for you, like it soured. Like it looked sweet and then it soured? Then Are you Bored Yet? by Wallows came on so taking that literal, like you grew tired of how it was going. So I'm not sure if anyone resonates with those two songs, but I thought they seemed significant. Possibly relevant: Libra, Aquarius, Musketeers, fleur-de-lis, yoga, 1990, 3, 8 Pile 4: Porthos

Cards: Knight of cups, 2 of cups, 7 of wands, the lovers, 6 of swords, King of Pentacles I wasn't going to do a pile 4, but thought I should and like, yeah I'm glad I did because this feels like something someone needs to hear. So, someone here is leaving something. I think maybe you might want to read my last pick a pile I posted on here about what you need to hear. I definitely think this group showed up in that one. So, again, someone is leaving something, but I keep wanting to type someone! Ahh! Sorry! But, maybe there is someone leaving someone? I definitely have the song Scrawny by Wallows stuck in my head so maybe you're leaving a "scrawny motherfucker with a cool hairstyle"? lol or not! Maybe that's just a song being stuck in my head because it was in there earlier today, but? Like? Maybe it was meant to come back around for this reading. Anyway, I get this idea from 6 of swords because that can be about a spiritual/mental journal, but also sometimes a physical one. So, like mentally and physically leaving a situation. Also, I've read that 6 in tarot is about journeys, and we got two 6's (6 of Swords and the lovers), and even though the lovers is about unity, I think it's also leaving that life before that unity behind? So, I read that into this whole, you're leaving something (or someone in this is leaving something or someone, so it could be this person coming towards you leaving something). Also, 8 of cups was on the bottom of one of the decks, and that again is about leaving something, like mentally/spiritually. But, like, this has cups so there's more of an emotional element to it. Like, leaving something that wasn't fulfilling you, going towards that 9 of cups wish fulfillment, right? So, there is that energy here, and like, I kind of feel like 9 of Cups should have shown up too, because I almost feel like whoever is coming towards you is kind of a wish come true. So, with knight of cups, i kind of read it like I did for another pile, but maybe more into his expression than i had for that one, where he looks kind of pouty. For that pile I said it was like he was kind of waiting to open up this cup that is in front of him that he's looking at. It has stars on it, so it's like his cup of hope? And the knight of cups is usually seen as a love offer, (though I typed over so again, I think someone out there is leaving someone?) so like this star cup, when he opens it, will have that offer for you? Like his heart is in there for you (not physically like his organ lmao). And with 7 of wands, I almost wonder if maybe you're defensive to let it in or maybe they're even too defensive to open up that cup? Someone here is defensive, but I don't think that's needed because I see so much stability with this. Like, we have the King of Pentacles here. So, not only do I think one or both of you are doing okay like financially (like, able to pay the bills and maybe have a nice roof over your head), but I also just see it as stable. Like, they're a shelf and your love is safe to place on. Does that make sense? Omg I'm so corny in this pile I love it. Both the Lover's and two of cups are these soft cards. Like, physically, these two cards from these decks look so soft. The love in these cards, guys. Phew. The two of cups shows this lady kind of hanging on this man, and they have these soft, fond gazes at each other. And then, with the lovers in the other deck, it's so sweet. She's kissing the other girl's cheek and they just look like they're content in the moment? So, I definitely see this as something fulfilling for you both, like you're both gonna be such suckers for each other. Probably constantly getting those heart eyes. Like, think Evie and O'Connell heart eyes, if you've ever seen The Mummy from 1999. Like, the looks they give each other. I'm totally getting those vibes. Maybe you two are going to be really snarky to each other too? But you’ll find it so endearing. Another thing I want to add is that I think you two are going to be perfectly balanced like literally Yin and Yang. I mean, one girl on the lovers card is all white and the other is all black. And then on the two of cups, They're kind of contrasted in terms of hair. Also! Bottom card energy for one deck was Justice, so yes. Definitely balance and yin and yang. I think this also goes back to the King of Pentacles, like I almost even get that Two of Pentacles energy of balancing out things, but being able to do so whereas the other twos kind of are about choices. But this one isn't. And it's weird, because sometimes the lovers can be read as choices, but I don't here. Not with this pile. And maybe there is a choice about leaving something/someone, but like I think once that's done and over with, this love comes in. And it could just be simple like a mindset? Like with all the cups here, I definitely think it could be a mindset. Like one that makes you super emotional, so maybe this is an existing relationship that just needs like a change? That's probably for a few of you, but for others, I see that this is something that comes after a shift in mind, or like a physical one. I mean, the song Make Way by The Front Bottoms was playing here, and like, that song is kind of about making space for the new? "I make way for the expensive things in my head." And, I've kind of gotten this Death Card vibe with every pile, and at first I was like not getting that with this pile, but idk, with 6 of swords and 8 of cups, I kind of get that? Like ending something to begin something? Ending with the song Nobody Gets Me (Like You) by Wallows, and I think this is what its going to feel like with this person. This pile is so cute. :) Things that could be relevant: Gemini, Libra, water signs, Capricorn (Pentacles are earth, but I really get a cap vibe with this one today), heart eyes, The Mummy lol

Chapter 1  Chapter 2

Chapter 3 here we go!!!

“You were waiting for me?” you questioned.

She snickered humorlessly. “Of course, princess. I keep track of all things going on in the ocean. I hoped you would consult me for help.”

You squared your shoulders. “I’ve heard rumors about you, Sycoria. Your help always comes with a price.”

“Well of course it does, darling,” she practically sang back. “All things have a price, not just my services. How would the world be if you could just get something from nothing?”

She began to slink around you, circling you, her eyes hungrily searching your form. You were apprehensive about this. But you had come this far. And you had to see Ben again.

“So, what is it you know about my desires?” you asked. 

“You want the human prince,” she answered. “In order to get him, you’ll have to become human.”

You blinked. “Is that something you’re capable of?”

“Oh, my dear,” she chuckled. “I can do anything.”

“And...and what would it cost me?” you asked.

She stopped in front of you and examined your face. 

“There will be two things,” she said. “One for each leg. The first, that pretty ring on your finger.”

“But -”

“It costs what it costs, darling,” she cut across you. “No haggling.”

You remained silent.

“That’s a good girl,” she praised sarcastically. “And get used to that. The second thing I want is your voice.”

“My voice?” you questioned. “But won’t I need my voice to get to know him?”

“Who needs all that?” she returned. “You’re beautiful! What else does he need to know about you?”

“I just think we should have some common interests and -”

She cut you off again. “Listen, girl. Men on the surface are not interested in a woman’s opinion or interests. You’re better off using that pretty face of yours.”

You frowned. That didn’t sound right to you. There was no way Ben had that view and tolerated Behati at the same time. Even if human society in general felt it, that was not Ben. But, that probably wasn’t relevant to Sycoria. You decided not to argue the point any further. Besides, who needed a voice when your souls had already met? You could find a way to communicate.

“Okay,” you said. “So, what’s the catch?”

“I’ll give you seven days to get the prince to fall in love with you,” she said with a sneer. “And he has to kiss you - true love’s kiss. If it happens, you will be a human permanently, and go on your merry way.”

“But if I don’t?”

“If you don’t,” she said. “I turn you into sea foam.”

You gasped and your stomach dropped. That was a rather harsh alternative! Conflict stirred within you. If you accomplished this, you would have all you ever wanted. But if you didn’t, there was a horrifying existence awaiting. Either way, there was no returning to your old life. The only way to do that was to swim away now. But your heart ached at the thought of missing out on your chance for Ben. So that wasn’t really an option. 

Sycoria extended her hand.

“Is it a deal?” she pressed.

You observed her outstretched palm and hesitated. Your heart was hammering against your chest. There was no turning back now. No matter what happened, your life would never be the same. And you didn’t want it to be.

“It’s a deal.”

She let out a wicked cackle as she took your hand. A gold thread appeared above your arms and wrapped itself around your clasped hands. It tightened on you and it felt warm against your skin. Sycoria waved her free hand above it and began to chant in a language you did not understand. 

Ben’s ring floated off your hand and slid itself onto Sycoria’s finger. Water began to swirl around the fins at the bottom of your tail. The whirlpool rose up around you, except for the hand still attached to the sea witch’s. 

Your tail began to heat up. You looked down and saw it glowing the same gold as the string that sealed your agreement. You watched as the fins and scales twisted up and deformed. Magically, your tail began to split in half. It wasn’t painful, but you did feel an odd ache as your scales disappeared and smooth skin took its place. Suddenly, you had thighs, knees, ankles, feet! You almost gasped, but you couldn’t. Not with fully human lungs.

Sycoria released your hand. The whirlpool began to shoot upwards, taking you with it. It pushed you all the way out of her cave, and then rocketed away. It moved so fast your vision was blurry. That might have also been from struggling to breathe. But you were abruptly far away from her lair, nothing around you for miles. Then, you began a projection upward. You hurtled toward the surface, desperate for air.

When you finally broke through, you gulped it in. Fresh air. It had never felt so precious to you. The whirlpool slowly brought you to the nearby shoreline. Then you felt it. Warm sand. Dazed, winded, exhausted, and alone, you collapsed into it. 

***

“There’s an island up ahead where we can stop,” Behati said, checking her map. “We’ve been there before.”

“Are there supplies there?” Ben asked.

“There are no people, but plenty of animals,” she explained. “Wild turkeys and the like. Plus, fresh fruits. We stocked up in your harbor, but I’d like some more things. Plus, we can give the girls some time off the ship.”

He shot her a sympathetic look. She smiled.

“Don’t feel sorry for me, little prince,” she said. “Soon enough, I will find Sycoria and break this curse. Until then, I won’t deprive my girls.”

“I want to help,” he told her. “With finding the sea witch.”

“I thought you didn’t believe in it,” she replied.

“Well, it’s coming from you,” he said. “You’re the most honest person I’ve ever met.”

“That really is saying something, considering I’m a pirate,” she teased.

He chuckled. “I trust you, that’s all.”

“Well, I’m flattered, but we agreed that this was temporary,” she said. “Finding Sycoria could take years, and you won’t want to be here that long.”

“Sure I will!” he protested.

She shook her head. “No, you won’t. Remember that girl that saved your life? Don’t you want to find her?”

“Well, yes, but she might not even be real,” he said. 

“How could you imagine a woman rescuing you?” she challenged. “I appreciate you, Ben, but you have your own journey. And I have mine.”

“Maybe I could help you first, and then you could help me,” he suggested.

She grinned. “They are too different, little prince.”

She began to walk away. He frowned.

“Why do you call me ‘little prince’ all the time?” he asked. “I’m not that much younger than you.”

She turned to face him with a smirk. “I may not look it, but I’m actually old enough to be your mother.”

“That old?”

With astonishing speed, she whipped around, removed her boot, and hurled it at him, hitting him square in the chest. He took the impact with a soft “oof” and caught the shoe before it fell to the deck. He could already feel a bruise forming.

“Shut up and get ready to anchor, porky mouth,” she said with a scowl. 

He chuckled again and tossed her shoe back to her. She shoved her foot into it and stomped away, slamming the door to her quarters. He laughed.

“I wouldn’t be so amused, Ben,” Ari said. “She may leave you on the island for that one.”

He stopped laughing. “Are you serious?”

She shrugged. Then she moved along to prepare to go to the island.

Before getting on the rowboat, Ben was assured he would be allowed to return to the ship. He joined Kay and Ari in their boat as the crew lowered it down. It hit the water with a soft splash and then the three of them - with two other boats - began to row toward the shore.

The water was smooth, with few waves, so their oars cut through it easily. They were able to reach the shore within minutes. 

As they all climbed out and hit the sand, Ben noticed something that made his brows draw together. It appeared to be...footprints. Footprints leading into the woods. He nudged Ari with his elbow as she finished throwing her oar down. She faced him.

“What is it?” she asked.

“Look,” he said, pointing.

She followed his finger and saw it too. She whistled and everyone looked at her.

“Ben just pointed out something we all should be aware of,” she said. “Someone else has been on the island.”

They all exchanged a nervous look.

“You’ll see just over there, footprints leading into the foliage,” she went on. “Keep your weapons up and your senses sharp. We don’t know who this person is or what they’re capable of.”

“Couldn’t it be someone in need?” asked Sharna, another crew member. “If they’re alone, they might be a victim of a shipwreck.”

Ben had not considered that. He looked at Ari.

“That might be true,” she agreed. “But if that’s the case, they may be as defensive and guarded as we are. If they’ve been through trauma, they’ll be jumpy. We still have to have the utmost caution.”

They all nodded. Several of them drew daggers, while Ari retrieved her pistol. They all crouched low and started toward the tree line.

You were just heading back to the beach, hoping to see any sign of Behati’s ship. But before that, you needed water and to eat something. You’d found a creek in the jungle, and drank from it to ease your parched throat. On several of the bushes, you found berries. You plucked them from the branches and headed back to the sand to enjoy them. 

Walking was proving to be a bit of a challenge. You had to carefully consider each step, and parts of the path were painful against your feet. It didn’t occur to you how much the plant life could prick and poke at you. 

Legs were a lot wobblier than a tail. In the water, you didn’t really need balance. But the sturdiness of the ground beneath you was jarring. To have your surroundings be so rigid and unmoving was something you were really going to have to adjust to.

As you approached the beach and the tree line thinned out, you saw that there was already a group of people there. Your eyes immediately found Ben, but you noticed that all of them were on edge as they came toward the trees. They had their weapons drawn and were all staying close together. They hadn’t seen you yet.

You crouched behind a bush, feeling an odd stretch in your muscles. Knees and ankles were strange and not nearly as strong as you had hoped. You had to put down the fruit and use your hands to stay balanced.

Ben took a deep breath as he and the girls stopped just before the trees. He looked carefully among the thick green branches but couldn’t see anything or anyone. It set him even more on edge. Ari was looking back toward the tracks in the sand, brow furrowed. Ben followed her gaze.

“What is it?” he whispered.

“It looks like….whoever this was had trouble walking,” she said. “There are drag marks in the sand too, and places where it looks like they fell. I think Sharna’s right, this is probably someone in trouble.”

“If they’re struggling to walk, they can’t have gone far,” Ben pointed out. “Should we call out so we don’t startle them?”

Ari hesitated. “I’m not sure. They could still be dangerous. I don’t want any of us at risk, either.”

You heard their hushed conversation despite their efforts. Now that their shoulders had relaxed and their weapons had lowered, you felt like now was the time to meet them. You were only a few feet away. Slowly, you pushed yourself up.

Ben and Behati’s crew jumped back when they heard the bush rustle and you rose to your full height. They watched in awe as you appeared before them. It struck you suddenly that they were clothed and you were not. Humans covered themselves. It was a mystery to you as to why, but you stood out enough to feel embarrassed.

Ben had never seen a woman so beautiful. You felt familiar to him, like he had met you before, only he couldn’t place where it was. Something about your eyes gave him the feeling. You held his gaze with such a knowing look, he was certain you felt it too.

“It’s you!” he gasped. 

“What?” Ari questioned.

He stepped forward, ignoring her, and he approached you.

“Have we met before?” he asked.

You nodded, beaming. 

“You’re the one I’ve been looking for!” he cried.

He reached out for you, and you took his offered hand. To touch him sent such a thrill through your body, you nearly forgot that the others were there.

“Please, you’ve got to tell me your name,” he said. 

You started to say it, but no sound came from your throat. In your excitement, you forgot that your voice was gone. You thought for a moment about what to do. Then you decided to try something crazy. 

My name is Y/N, you signed to him.

His face fell. The disappointed expression that claimed it broke your heart.

“Oh, I must be mistaken,” he said. “The woman who saved me spoke to me.”

You tried to stay optimistic.

You know sign language? You asked.

He nodded. “Yes. My mother is deaf, so I learned it young.”

That made you smile. He offered a small one in return.

“D’you need help?” he asked.

You nodded your head. He looked you over, realizing just now that you were naked. Your hair covered your chest, the bush you hid behind blocked you from the waist down, but his cheeks still went pink. He shrugged off his coat and wrapped it around your shoulders. 

“There,” he said, then turned to Ari. “Should we bring her to the ship?”

“Well, she’s a woman in need, Captain Behati will be happy to help her,” she said. “What did she say her name was?”

“Y/N,” Ben said, looking back at you. “That’s rather pretty.”

Thank you, you signed, your own face heating up now.

“Come on, Y/N,” Ari said. “Ben and I will take you to the ship while the rest of the girls do some hunting and gathering.”

Her smile was gentle. You immediately trusted her. Still holding Ben’s hand, you came out from behind the bush. You stumbled when you moved, and you fell right into Ben’s chest. He caught you in strong arms, with a soft laugh. You looked up at him apologetically.

“Don’t worry about it,” he said. “You’ve really been through something, haven’t you?”

You nodded slowly. He helped you steady yourself, and the three of you headed back down the beach toward the row boat. He had to assist you into it, but you didn’t mind at all. You settled onto the little bench seat, wrapping his coat tighter around your shoulders. It smelled so nice. Something you didn’t notice the last time you were close to him. 

“I’ll row,” Ari said, picking up the oar before Ben could. “You need to be resting that arm.”

“It’s fine,” he protested, but she shook her head. “At least let me help push it.”

“Fine,” she said. “But nothing more after that. You really want to have to get it sewn up again?”

“God, no,” he sighed. “You can row.”

“That’s a good lad,” she said.

You smiled at their friendly exchange. It felt a bit odd once you were on the water to be floating in the boat. You had never noticed how much the water actually moved before. The rocking motion made your stomach churn. 

“So, Y/N, how’d you end up on the island?” Ben asked.

Shipwreck, you signed. 

You didn’t like to lie, but the truth was too unbelievable. 

“A shipwreck, eh?” he continued. “It must have been some journey for you. I didn’t see any debris.”

You blinked, surprised by this observation, but slid quickly back to a neutral expression.

I’m not sure how it happened or where, you signed. There was an explosion, and the next thing I knew, I was on the island.

“That’s scary,” he said. “I’m sorry you went through all that.”

Thank you, you signed. 

He put his hand on top of yours and you felt warm.

It didn’t take long to reach the ship. Ben had to help you again, since you struggled to stand up in the rocking boat. However, this time when you climbed up, there was a rope ladder. It was much easier without a tail. Ari came up behind you, and Ben climbed up last. Ari helped you over the edge, and you planted your feet on the ship. 

Behati emerged from her quarters when she heard the noise. Your jaw dropped when you saw her. She was so tall, and her skin was so dark and beautiful. She was a living legend, right in front of you.

Then you remembered that she had seen you for that fleeting moment after you rescued Ben. You saw the recognition in her eyes - as well as some confusion at your new appearance - and you shot her a pleading look. She gave you a curt nod. She would not reveal you.

“Captain, this is Y/N,” Ari said. “We found her on the island. Apparently there was a shipwreck.”

“I see,” Behati said. “Well, I’m sorry to hear that. But we’re happy to help you.”

“She got on a lot easier than I did,” Ben joked.

“She is not a man,” she returned with a chuckle.

“Well, she can’t speak,” he explained. “But she knows sign language.”

“You know sign language?” Behati questioned, eyebrows raising.

“Yeah, my mother’s deaf,” he said again. “I was raised with it. I’m surprised you know it.”

“I meet all kinds of people, little prince,” she said. “I thought it would be useful to know. There are a few other crew members who know it as well.”

That’s a relief, you signed. 

“I bet,” she teased. “Can you imagine only being able to talk to Ben?”

“Hey!” he said with playful indignance. 

Their banter made you worry a bit. Could it be possible that Ben and the captain were already attached to each other? You were so certain that you had felt something after rescuing him, but what if it was only gratitude? What if you were doomed to Sycoria’s fate because he already loved another? 

 “Come,” Behati said. “We’ll get you some fresh clothes and some water, yeah?”

You nodded and followed her to her quarters. 

Ben watched you go, feeling an unfamiliar longing in his chest. The way your hair fell down your back and swished when you walked was mesmerizing. The way your hands moved so delicately when you signed charmed him. And your eyes were absolutely captivating. 

“How sweet,” Ari joked. “Ben’s got a crush.”

“I do not,” he returned, rolling his eyes.

Inside with Behati, she addressed the elephant in the room.

“So, last time we met, you were a mermaid,” she said. “Although, we weren’t properly introduced.”

You looked uncomfortably at the floor. She pushed some clothes into your arms, then cupped your chin to make you look at her.

“I won’t ask what made you do this, it’s not my business,” she said. “But there’s only one being I know with the power to make such a transformation….Sycoria.”

You held her gaze and nodded.

“Do you know how to find her?” she asked.

You shook your head before you signed, After she transformed me, she sent me away so fast, I was disoriented. I’m not sure how far away the island is from her lair.

“So, she’s in a lair somewhere,” Behati said. “It can’t be too far from here. What do you remember of it?”

Purple, you signed. It glows purple.

“Well, it’s a start,” she said. “Welcome aboard, Y/N. I’ll let you get dressed.”

She started to leave, but you grabbed her arm. She faced you.

Are you and Ben...together? You asked.

It was such an awkward thing. But you had to know now if you were wasting your time. She threw her head back and cackled.

“Oh, sweet sea child,” she wheezed, wiping her eyes. “The only one interested in Ben on this ship is you.”

Your brow furrowed.

“I’ve never wanted a man,” she said. “Nor will I. I have only ever loved women.”

And your crew? They’re all like you?

She nodded. “There are a few of us who enjoy men as well. But most of us don’t.”

I never thought that human attraction was as varied as the merpeople, you signed. We have many couples of varied genders.

“Humans are fascinating creatures, Y/N,” she told you. “I just hope they don’t disappoint you.”

You raised an eyebrow in confusion.

“Never mind,” she said with a shrug. “I’ll leave you to it now.”

You took her arm again. Now - a little embarrassed - you signed, I don’t know how to put them on.

She chuckled. “I’ll help you, then. No worries.”

You thanked her and she showed you how to wear everything. They were simple clothes, and she taught you the words for everything - pants, shirt, boots, et cetera. Human garments were surprisingly comfortable, but Behati explained that most human women wore dresses, underneath which were these things called corsets. They sounded horrible to you, so you were grateful to be where you were.

“And one last thing,” Behati said, grabbing a hat and placing it on your head. “Protect that pretty skin from the sun.”

You smiled again at her. 

“We’ll need to do something about that hair,” she said. “I can braid it for you if you want.”

You nodded eagerly and plopped yourself down in her chair. She laughed and took her place behind you. You had extremely long hair, and just the few moments you spent on deck showed you the wind was going to be a problem. Thankfully, Behati twisted your hair into two beautiful braids, and you were ready to join the crew.

When you stepped out, Ben and Ari were waiting. 

“How does she look?” Behati asked, twirling you.

“Great!” Ben said, enthusiastically. “Although, she looks much too sweet to be a member of a pirate crew.”

Your face flushed and you toyed with one of your braids. He felt his heart skip a beat at your display of bashfulness. He thought you were...cute. Very cute.

“I agree,” Behati said. “But luckily, it’s not permanent. Perhaps we’ll find something more suitable for her at our next stop.”

“When’s that?” Ben wondered.

“Not far from here is a harbor town called Henrietta,” she told him. “We’re going to stop there to pick up things like clothes and weapons. Plus, there’s someone there I’d like Y/N to meet.”

You shot her a quizzical look. 

“Not to worry,” she said. “Ben will go with you.”

She explained nothing else, but returned to her quarters. 

She’s so mysterious, you signed.

“She is,” he agreed. “But she’s got a big heart.”

You nodded. 

So, you began. Was your mother born deaf or did she become deaf later in life?

“She was born deaf,” he said. “Were you born mute?”

You shook your head sadly. 

“I’m sorry,” he said. 

It’s alright, you signed. It was sort of my choice. But that’s a long story. 

“Well, I’d love to hear it someday,” he said kindly.

I want to know more about you, you replied. What’s your mother’s name?

“Asenora,” he said. “My father’s name is James. They’re the king and queen.”

Tell me more.

You coaxed as much information as you could out of Ben before the crew returned from the island. It was nearly two hours of getting to know him. He told you a bit about his childhood and the way he ended up with Behati - since he was unaware you knew the story from your eavesdropping. 

“You’re a very easy person to talk to, Y/N,” Ben said. 

Probably because I’m not able to interrupt, you joked.

He chuckled. “Well, you said it.”

Not technically, you continued.

He full on laughed. “Look, the girls are coming back. But why don’t we continue this later? It’s been really lovely to have someone to chat to.”

You nodded. 

Absolutely, you signed. How can I help?

“Ari and I can show you,” he said.

He took your hand and led you over to her. As the small team returned, it was time to get ready to hoist the anchor and move again. And dinner had to be prepared. Ari showed you how to help, and you were eager to prove you could. As you helped her wind up a rope, you looked over at Ben, who was helping Behati sort the food and game they had collected on the island. He caught your eye and smiled. 

What you had felt after your rescue was still there, that much you knew. The only obstacle was getting to a place where you could explain everything to Ben. You just hoped he would believe you. But as you grinned at each other, you were as hopeful as you’d ever been.

Pitch Pearl  ATUS AU- Part 3

ahahaha. i finally came back to wite the finale. WOOOO. im still sorry about waiting so long oof.

where we last left off, danny had a dream about phantom, in which he tells him about the creation of the natural portals. he leaves danny, saying that he’ll come running back soon enough. when he wakes up, jazz tells him that sam and tucker have gone missing.

danny takes a second to process that information along with the dream and his brain just shuts down. he goes on autopilot, acting like he didn’t hear a word she just said. jazz tries to snap him out of it to get some sort of reaction but when she actually looks him in the eyes, filled with exhaustion, fear, and helplessness, she realizes that he doesn’t need any more things to worry about and goes to tell their parents not to bother him. 

when she leaves, he blankly goes through the motions as he normally would. just like before this all happened. he checks his phone with slight hope that they may have tried to contact him, but after realizing he spent ten minutes just staring at it, he puts it away and doesn’t check it again. the walk to school is nothing but a stream of consciousness and he doesn’t even really feel awake anymore. everyone is just a blur while his brain refuses to process anything around him. 

he gets to class, looks at his friends’ desks, and notices two cleanly carved DP symbols on them. it makes him start giggling a little, then laughing loudly, before he sinks to the ground crying out of frustration and overload.

a town meeting is called in the middle of school. the missing children line up with the new influx of ghost sightings and they want to check to see if any more kids have gone missing. someone points out the danny got taken last and the two missing children were his friends. others bring up the lunchroom incident and start pestering him with questions, seeking answers. danny waits for his family to quiet everything down before explaining everything from his first day in captivity all the way to last night’s dream. many people want to push the blame onto danny for painting a target on their heads and force him to deal with it on his own while others want to use danny as a bargaining tool to save their lives.

the fentons reject every suggestion and say that the most important thing here to do if to protect the children and find a way to defeat the ghosts now that blocking their way into the human realm is no longer an option. they explain that giving danny up might be a trap if phantom was able to kidnap sam and tucker but didn’t head straight for danny. he is told to safe and not try anything.

the GIW are called in to work on locating one of the portals and storming the ghost zone to rescue the missing children. danny is desperate to help and spends most of his time reliving unwanted memories just to give any form of information that might be helpful. after a while they send him away to try getting back to normal life as he needs a form of distraction. 

at lunch, he is cornered by the other teens who ask if he is really just going to sit there and do nothing. danny is hesitant to lead more children into the ghost zone where they could be hurt, but they are determined and at this point, he is willing to risk it. after stealing a bunch of weapons from his parent's old weaponry vault, he finds a natural portal and opens it. they get sucked into it and arrive in the courtyards of phantom’s keep.

the ectoplasm flooding his system is mildly overwhelming but he pushes through it and begins guiding everyone to the dungeons where they would probably be kept. he notices while navigating that strangely everything is the same as it ws before he left, from to the decor to the guard rotations. when they reach the dungeons, sam and tucker aren’t there. it confuses him. he tries to think about where else phantom could have put them and a small voice whispers, ‘check your old wing’. its actually easier to sneak back to his old wing due to all the times he has snuck in and out of it. while the rest of the group aren’t so used to the routes, following him makes it a lot easier. waiting in the common room of the wing are sam and tucker, posed like lifeless dolls and dressed in clothing uncomfortably similar to what danny once wore, though less extravagant. their skin is pale and lifeless and their eyes are glowing

perched on their heads are silvery circlets. danny motions for the rest of the group to stand behind him. sam and tucker slowly turn to look at them and another battle breaks out.

its obvious from how they are fighting that while they wont strike to kill danny, they dont care about sparing the rest. the group slowly works out a system of one half distracting sam while the other go to hold down tucker and remove the circlet. as soon as it comes off, the glow from his eyes fades and he stills like they pushed his power button. with one less person constantly firing at them, its a lot easier to do the same for sam as she can’t fight them all off. dash and kwan take up carrying the limp, unconscious people and they make off with their battle spoils to the portal. 

danny reopens the portal and makes sure everyone gets through, doing a headcount. when he is sure everyone is accounted for and out of the ghost zone. he thanks them and seals it, locking them in the human realm with him on the other side.  

it takes a while for the group to finally tell someone what happened and they start fearing how to explain to the two dead to the world people who still haven’t woken up yet. they finally fess up when jazz drives by and asks where danny is. they silently just show her sam and tucker and watch the emotions flicker rapidly on he face. in the end she settles on heartache and gives a weak smile, telling them that she’s glad they are back but wishes they could have brought her brother back as well. she is more forgiving when they explain that it was his decision and they didnt have time to stop him before it was too late.

back in the ghost zone, danny stares blankly at the sealed portal, wondering if he should just step through now before its too late. just as he reaches out his hand, he gets pulled in a tight embrace as phantom laughs in his ear. 

“What did I tell you, Starlight. You would come running back into my arms soon enough. Let’s go back home. You’ll find I didn’t change anything when you left. We can go right back to how it used to be before. Like you never ran away from me.”

he stays huddled up in his room for most of the time, only coming out when phantom wants him to accompany him on an errand or when he has to attend meetings with phantom. the faces are familiar. he made a few friends during his captivity and while the circumstances are grim, its pleasant to see them again. 

for starters, clockwork was a common face when danny began getting incredibly homesick. phantom had requested danny be allowed to view the present of his ‘loved ones’ lives and he had spent every moment he could watching them throughout the day and making sure they were fine. clockwork also had hilariously awful puns, though they werent allowed to actually say them anymore after phantom got jealous and forbade them from speaking to danny. danny still carried the one-sided conversations and it seemed to cheer clockwork up from the decree. princess dora, now queen dora, was also a good friend of his, often discussing with him the pain of living with overbearing nobility. she had done a double-take when he approached her and sat him down to calmly ask what happened, though he could see the tension laced through her. after recounting she took a long sip of her tea and looked him in the eyes. she told a seemly random story of her exploring her kingdom and hearing a bard singing about how the mighty dragon princess stole the dragon king’s crown and the mighty dragon queen took her dear brother down. the piercing look in her eyes before she moved to a new topic told him more than enough.

the few moments of reprieve they offered was not enough to outdo the lappet treatment of phantom that allowed for no rejection, but it was something and it was all he could ask for.

sam and tucker wake up finally after being in a coma for two days. after scanning the room filled with their classmates, parents, and the fenton family, they quickly realize the only one not there that should be is danny. sam is the first one to speak, immediately yelling at them for trading them for danny and going off about how they need to go back for him as soon as possible. dash defends them by telling her that its not their fault danny closed the portal before any one of them could drag his skinny self sacrificing ass through it. they cant reopen it without him.

sam quiets down after that and tucker takes out asking all the questions he can think of to find a way to fix this. there has to be a way to reopen the portal.

(a cut back scene to danny interacting with phantom. im not good with writing abuse mixed with love very well so go ahead and use your imaginations okay uwu)

sam and tucker also end up secluding themselves and working nonstop on trying to figure out how to save danny. jazz stops by every day to check on them and pass on homework and anything she hears about the ghosts to them. while they start cleaning up the room to take a break and finish schoolwork, sam trips on a piece of paper and is about to fall. only she is caught in mid-air and surrounded by a neon lime green aura, one similar to danny’s though his is a bluish mint. the aura dissipates and she hits the ground with a soft thud but everything stops as tucker and her look at each other in shock. 

“That was you!”

“That was me!”

homework gets pushed aside again for experimentation and documenting. they might be able to reopen the portal after all.

[A/N] oof this was one hell of a couple of prompts to put together and for the exact perfect person, imo!! to the person who requested this, im so sorry this sat in my inbox for so long but i really hope it came out well and, maybe, possibly, was worth the wait. i quite enjoyed this, personally :’)

You were finally going to tell him how you felt. For the entirety of your friendship with Hoseok, your feelings had been...a lot more than friendly. Something about him was fun and easy going but there was something more that kept you from telling him the truth for so long. Something deep inside of him that felt darker and it intimidated you into silence.

After a late night out partying with mutual friends, you ended up crashing at his place and in a drunken stupor, you decide tonight was going to be the night you would confess to him. You spent most of the night watching the way his face flushed the more alcohol was consumed, the way a song would come on in the club and Hoseok would immediately start bopping and vibing along to the beat. He was the life of the party, as always. Everyone around him felt his magnetism, but he always made sure you were near by.

Part of the appeal was that, somehow, he treated you special. You were worried maybe other people felt like that, too. Maybe that’s just the way he was with everyone? By the end of the night, you were the one sitting next to him on the couch when he nodded off asleep around 4am, one of his hands reaching out and clasping your thigh absentmindedly.

If only things could be as easy as they were when he was laughing and drunk and overly affectionate. You watch out of the corner of your eye as he dozes off asleep and decide it’s probably for both of your best interests if you go sleep alone in his unoccupied bed, bringing out a spare blanket and tossing it over him before you mumble, “Night, Hoseokie.”

Hours later, you’re tossing and turning restlessly in his bed, thoughts of when you should have confessed your feelings to him haunting your sleep. You recall the way he had smiled at you when he slung his arm over your shoulders and told you to just crash at his place for the night. The short walk in the cold autumn air until you made it to his apartment. The late night Netflix binge while you filled up with savory snacks when everything was still hazy from alcohol and dancing all night.

Speaking of which. The scent of him was entirely too pleasant to slip fully into REM cycle. Instead, you teeter on the edge of sleeping lightly and being entirely awake, your face buried in his pillow, your hands fisting in his sheets and drawing the blankets up higher around your body. It was almost like one of those hugs when he drapes himself over you, only minus the weight of him, which was sorely missed.

You find yourself picturing his weight and the warmth of him which is all too easily fantasized with his scent surrounding you in the plush confines of his bed, and before you’re fully aware of what your doing, your hand moves under you, caught between the mattress and your body, your legs parting, hips shifting back to give you room and then forward, rubbing your core, hot and needy, against your seeking fingers.

Your clothes had reeked of the club you had been at all night and whatever alcoholic beverage your friend group had been downing all evening, so you had robotically stripped down to your bra and panties before you climbed into Hoseok’s bed. It was easy for your fingers to find your clit through your panties, your hips bucking and grinding down against your hand. Mind hazy from exhaustion and maybe two or three too many shots, you slip your fingers around the side of your underwear and finger yourself in earnest, keeping your thighs splayed wide while you stay on your belly.

A rhythmic squeak of his bed frame as you hump down into the friction of your fingers stirs Hoseok awake on the couch. His eyes don’t want to open, but then he hears a muffled sound, a groan of pain, he thinks, and accompanied with that all too familiar creak of his bed, he eventually puts two and two together and his eyes fly open in a heartbeat. Taking in his surroundings, he realized you draped a blanket over him and he smiles fondly as he stands and makes his way towards his room.

Face buried in the pillows, you muffle a groan that sounds way too close to Hoseok’s name just as he rounds the corner and that’s when he sees you, fully submerged under his blankets, your ass lifting and grinding down hard, thighs trembling.

He freezes in the door frame, not sure what he expected to find but definitely not this. For half a second he thinks that he’s invading your privacy and he feels awful for lingering, but he can’t stop staring. He knows he should go but his body doesn’t move. Save for his cock stirring to life behind the zipper of his jeans. Hoseok can’t stop himself from calling out to you.

“Do you always do this when you sleep over?”

The fear that spikes into your chest spreads cold through your veins when you hear him, gasping in surprise, stilling entirely. You wish you could melt through his mattress and disappear forever but Hoseok is coming closer, expecting you to respond, but you have no idea what you could possibly say to redeem yourself.

He’s caught you masturbating and there’s no way out of it. No excuses to give. What were you supposed to do? Mind reeling with thoughts of how you could maybe, flee his apartment entirely, you can see in your peripheral that Hoseok is coming closer.

“Are you going to answer me?” He asks you after the tensest few moments of silence that you’ve ever suffered through. He’s standing right at the edge of the bed, now. You lower your eyes in shame, hiding your face in his pillow. You want to cry, you feel tears stinging your eyes and your throat is constricting but you’re barely breathing, unwilling to move a muscle.

“You’re such a stupid girl.” Hoseok sighs heavily. You’re so surprised by his statement that you peek out from your safe haven wrapped up in his blanket and buried into his pillow. Through the mess of your hair in your eyes, you can make out his waist, and you’re surprised to find him shirtless. He certainly wasn’t when you covered him up on the couch earlier in the night.

Your face burns with shame as you peek past your hair to get a better view of his tensed lower stomach. It’s while you’re eyeing up his abs that you finally realize he’s throbbing in his jeans, growing harder in the silence as you stare ashamedly over at him.

“Why would you play with yourself in my bed when I’m right here?” He asks you, and before you can even think about answering, he asks, completely exasperated, “Why wouldn’t you just let me fuck you, if you’re this needy? Don’t you know anything?”

You turn your face back fully into his pillow, the tears burning your eyes spilling out and wetting the pillowcase under you, mumbling under your breath, “Mhff shry..”

“What was that?” He asks, and before you can speak up, he whips the blanket off of you, baring your exposed back half to the chilled air in his bedroom. You twitch and every muscle in your body freezes still as he barks a command at you, “Speak up!”

“I’m sorry!” You blurt out, “Fuck, I’m sorry, Hoseokie, ok, p-please..”

“That’s right,” His voice drops an octave lower, huskier now he tells you, “Say ‘please fuck me, Hoseokie’.”

Your breath hitches in your throat, and despite the shame burning your face you feel the tightening of desire in your lower belly, and you’re acutely aware of the stickiness coating your panties growing colder since he removed the blanket.

“Tell me.” Hoseok says, and you hear his voice just barely masking the sound of his belt buckle and the drag of his zipper down the front of his jeans, “I know. I’ve been waiting to see what would come of it. I didn’t expect this.” He chuckles, “You didn’t have to do it this way...unless this is what you wanted?”

No, definitely not. If you had been able to go about this the way you wanted, you would’ve been brave enough much earlier in the night to tell Hoseok that you wanted him. Or, hell, months ago you would’ve brought it to his attention, or better yet he would have said something to you all on his own accord. But no. This wasn’t supposed to happen this way.

“Maybe you like being caught, is that it?” Hoseok continues, and you hear his jeans hit the floor and feel the bed dip as he climbs over your back. He straddles the back of your thighs, so his erection tucks heavily under the backside of your ass when he leans forward over you, his hands sweeping your mess of hair out of his way, his mouth at your ear, “Does it turn you on to know you’re doing something bad? That you could get caught? Are you this much of a slut, that you wanted me to find you in my bed like this and fuck you before I even have to ask you out on a date?”

You turn your face to meet his eyes for the first time since he found you, looking back over your shoulder while he leans down and wordlessly, you let him kiss your mouth. It’s a tender meeting of the lips, brief before he groans and dips in further with his tongue, pressing up hard against your back, his cock settling into the crack of your ass cheeks and throbbing heavily against you. He grunts softly, teeth biting at your bottom lip.

“Tell me,” He whispers to you. “Say it.”

You swallow past a lump in your throat, eyes on his, his lids shut softly as he presses you more firmly into the mattress, “Please fuck me, Hoseokie.”

He sits back with a satisfied hum, pleased that you’re compliant enough in this moment to give your consent. He’s waited a long time to hear those words from you, patiently enjoying your friendship and doing everything he can to make you feel comfortable enough with him. Countless sleepovers were inevitably going to lead to this, at least he hoped so, but he had no idea it would come to this and clearly, you didn’t either. But as long as you wanted it as badly as him, he wasn’t going to deny either of you any longer.

His hands smooth down your bare back, gripping your waist, his fingers toy with the waistband of your panties, stuffing his erection up against the softness of your ass, feeling you shiver under him.

“That’s all you had to do, baby..” He murmurs, yanking down the back of your panties so the band sits where your ass meets the back of your thighs, pushing your bare cheeks up invitingly, his hands kneading the mounds of flesh eagerly. “All you had to do was say something and I would’ve been yours all along, you know that right?”

You swallow, head spinning with sensation. His dick grinding into the back of your leg now, hot and heavy, your pussy throbbing with need, his fingers digging into the muscles of your buttocks feels so nice, relieving tension you didn’t even know you’d been carrying. All the while the words on his lips make you blush deeply with the slightest bit of regret. Was it really that easy all this time? He’s clearly excited by the prospect alone, evident by the way his bare cock is leaking onto your heated, flushed skin.

“Now look at you...hiding in my bed in the middle of the night, touching yourself, moaning my name like such a dirty little slut. What were you thinking about?”

Shame grips your throat tightly and you’re unable to form audible sounds at all, let alone a coherent sentence. In truth, you hadn’t been thinking anything specific. Just about him. His weight on you, his warmth, his touch, his scent...you had been consumed by want and desire and foolishly let yourself get carried away.

“Tell me, baby.” Hoseok encourages you, shifting down your body, kissing a wet path down the middle of your spine, his teeth nipping in sharply when he reaches the swell of your ass. “What was making you so needy?”

You can’t answer because he bites at you again, making you gasp and twitch, and though it’s a simple response, you’re unable to formulate it with his mouth and his teeth lavishing your cheeks with kisses and bites. All you can do is twitch and jerk under him, squeaking and gasping into his pillow.

Hoseok humors you, since you’re so responsive to him already, spreading your cheeks open wide to get a good look, groaning when he sees your sex glistening and swollen deep between your thighs. He presses on your lower back, arching you, exposing your sex more, tongue diving in. He buries his mouth against your flesh, tongue probing easily at the source of your wetness. He tastes you briefly, a tease for both of you before he groans and latches onto your cheek, biting an angry hickey into your sensitive skin, slapping your opposite cheek when you squirm too hard under him and make him unlatch from your skin.

“Fuck, you love this, don’t you?” Hoseok pants, admiring the hickey on your left cheek, his fingers spreading you open so he can see your puckered hole and your drooling pussy. “You’re so fucking wet.”

His tongue is on you again, lapping at your drenched entrance like a man starved. You moan, and he slaps at your bitten ass, reminding you in a clipped, tight tone, “I asked you what made you this needy. You gonna answer me?”

“Unnf, you did.” You tell him, lifting your face so he can hear you clearly, not wanting to muffle your words with the pillow. “I want you so bad, Hoseokie, please...”

“You’re so fucking wet already.” He groans, sliding two fingers easily into your cunt. “You could take my cock right now, couldn’t you? Do you want it?”

“Yes!” You whimper, hips lifting back so he can reach deeper inside of you. “F-fucking, just fuck me!”

There’s a moment of adjustment, brief as he hurries to readjust his position and then you feel him, hot and hard, nudging your cheeks apart to reach your cunt from the back. You’re still flat on your stomach, legs under him as he slips his cock inside with a low grunt.

“God, your dirty pussy swallowed me right up, baby.” He mumbles, “You fucking love this, don’t you?” He chuckles, his hips working against you now, snapping and shooting you up the bed into the headboard. Your hands fly out to stop you from banging your head. Hoseok’s hands press down on the middle of your shoulder blades, keeping your face pressed tight into the pillows to muffle the strangled moans you’re emitting.

“So wet.” He grunts, “Squeezing my dick so tight...fuck, your pussy’s drooling all over me, you fucking slut.”

Your face is burning with shame, breath coming out in short, pained gasps as he hits your g-spot over and over again in this position, the wet suction sound as your cunt clamps down around him and Hoseok fucks into you relentlessly echoing around the room. His hand moves to your lower back, pressing firmly, then he grasps your cheeks, molding you against him, arching your ass up into the air so he can fuck into you even deeper. You find yourself begging him, stuttered, strangled pleas muffled into the pillow as you sob, bucking back hard into him.

“Please! Augh, oh god, oh god, please! Ple-!”

Hoseok slips out of you and flips you over onto your back before you can take in a lung full of air and then his tongue in on your swollen, well fucked folds. He licks you deep and slow, a sharp contrast from the harsh way he had fucked you. He’s tonguing at your pussy with the utmost care, moaning as he suckles at your sensitive bundle of nerves, slurping down the taste that flows from your clenching hole.

He doesn’t stop until your thighs are shaking. When your body stiffens and legs tremble, he rockets back up into position over you and enters you again with one slick thrust. Your fingers dig into his biceps, legs falling open, feet dangling helplessly as your mouth falls open in a silent cry, finally locking eyes with him for the first time since he entered you.

“Cum for me.” Hoseok tells you, but it’s not as much a command as a coaxing, desperate statement of need. You do as he wants, creaming and crying out as he fucks you over the edge.

He stops briefly right after to drag you by the thighs higher into his lap, splaying you wide open, feet resting on his pecs with your knees kicked wide open. His fingers find your clit easily and he rubs insistently, cock still buried in you but not moving an inch.

You twitch and squirm against his touch but Hoseok doesn’t stop. He stares into your eyes, fingers hurried and practiced as he rubs insistent circles around your clit. He has you coming again just moments later, a silent scream etched on your features as you thrash under him, feet pushing him away, back arching up off of the mattress.

Hoseok draws it out for what feels like forever. He’s still circling your clit with slower motions as you begin to come down, your body shivering as tears welling in your eyes from the overstimulation. He bends over you, breath fanning across your cheek, and kisses you sweetly on the forehead as he starts to fuck you slowly once more.

“You wanted this so bad, didn’t you?” His voice is as softer now as his touch, featherlight and tender as he murmurs down do you, his hips moving in a circular motion, keeping you teetering on the edge of insanity. “You’re soaking me with your cum. I can feel you throbbing...does it ache? Hm?” He sways his hips upward in a sharp stroke that hits deep, and you gasp, “Can you feel me in your belly? Do you want more?”

You nod wordlessly, keening and moaning in response, humming and simpering. Hoseok strokes your hair out of your face as you thrash still under him, leaning down and kissing you sweetly.

“I’ve always loved you. Didn’t you know that? I tried to show you how special you are to me. Maybe I should try a little harder..” He muses, smiling gently before planting another sweet kiss to your lips. He cradles you to his chest, leaning over you entirely down, face buried in your hair.

It’s a welcome and appreciated gesture after how this whole thing started, and you cling onto him desperately as he slowly and gently builds up his pace. You murmur against his sweat slicked skin that you you love him, too.

You tell him, “I should have said something sooner...I shouldn’t have-”

“Ssh,” Hoseok urges you, “Come here.” He guides you until you’ve changed positions again, this time laying under you while he pulls you over his lap, guiding his cock right back inside. He tugs you over him, controlling the pace from under you as he bucks up gently into your well-used cunt.

“I’m glad it happened like this. We can skip the bullshit and just...enjoy each other.” He smiles, sweeping a kiss across your lips as he cradles your face in his hands. “Can you handle a little more?”

“I-I think so..” You bite your lip down at him.

The bed is protesting noisily as he fucks you from his position on his back, feet planted firmly into the mattress. He toys with your breasts and keeps you down, pressed tight against him so he can smother himself in the swell of your cleavage, mouthing across each nipple and moaning with your tits in his mouth.

Like this, he gets himself off, and though it feels amazing, you’re entirely spent and absolutely sure that if he waited hours, days even, there was no way you could possibly cum again. You tell him as much as he cleans you up, and Hoseok, head already between your thighs, glances back up at you with a quirk of his eyebrow.

“Oh, really?”

[gingerwritess]

Father’s Day is coming up. I think Loki needs to experience massage therapy 😬

massage therapy…from a kids’ hands, right??

ok i had no time to write anything but as dad!loki central i absolutely could NOT let father’s day pass without giving our favourite dad a little love. so enjoy this tiny lil blurb.

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

Fatherhood has turned the god of mischief into quite the cuddler.

Surprising, really, considering it had taken nearly five months of dating to even convince him that it was okay to hug you when he felt like it.

But Loki’s had a rough couple of days lately, and cuddling is the last thing on his mind. It’s hard to think of the god with an office job, but his day-to-day “avenging” has gotten ridiculously complicated—Asgard is starting to ask questions about things like the United Nations.

Never thought intergalactic diplomacy would be a thing, but here we are.

He’s been working late, spending his days here and in Asgard with his brother trying to figure out how a beneficial relationship between realms might work, but he’s always so exhausted by the time he gets home that you don’t get to hear much about it before he drags you to bed and knocks out.

Today, though, is Father’s Day, and you convinced Elliot to stay quiet for a couple more hours in the morning (bribery may have been involved) just so Loki could sleep a little later.

Elliot’s being quiet, you’ll give him that much.

He quietly sneaks into your room early in the morning, quietly climbs over you, quietly slips under Loki’s arm and nestles between the two of you.

“Don’t worry,” he whispers when you groggily roll over to blink at him, “I’ll be quiet. Just missed ya.”

Unable to say no to that, you wrap an arm around the kid and scoot a little closer, hugging him in a tight little Elliot sandwich as Loki subconsciously tightens his hold on his son.

A little smile tugs at Elliot’s lips as his eyes flutter closed.

It’s funny. You can actually feel your heart melt.

When you wake up who knows how much later, there’s a foot in your stomach and a hand in your face—Elliot’s foot, you figure out, Loki’s hand.

He’s practically sideways now, drooling onto Loki’s back and hugging his waist tightly. You brush some of his curls out of his eyes, smiling at his squished little face, and Loki flips his head over on his pillow.

“Don’t wake him yet,” he murmurs, blinking the sleep out of his eyes. “He’s warm.”

You scoot towards him and brush your lips over his. “Sure thing. Happy father’s day, Loki.”

“Mmm.”

You bite back a laugh and kiss him again, lifting Elliot’s leg out of your way as he shifts, mumbling something in his sleep and rolling over.

“G’mornin, dad,” he yawns, rubbing his eyes. “Happy dad’s day, I stayed quiet for you.”

“Well, thank you.” Loki chuckles and shifts around to give him a hug, drawing him into his chest and planting a kiss on his head. “How did you know just what I wanted?”

“Nuh uh, that’s not your gift!”

“Please tell me you didn’t get me anything else, we’ve been over this…”

Loki’s not a fan of gifts. He’s made it quite clear that he’d much rather have experiences and create memories and spend time with the people he loves over being given a physical object.

But Elliot bounces up off of Loki and spreads his arms wide, and you can’t help but be a little scared—last time he said he had a present for Loki, the gift was a snowstorm in the living room.

It took about a week and a half for the couches to fully dry, but hey, they had a couple good snowball fights between the kitchen counter and the couch.

“M’gonna relief your stress.”

“Excuse me?”

Elliot claps his hands together and grins at your confused faces. “Mom said you’re real stressed out. So I’m gonna help you!”

“And how do you intend to do that?”

He waves his fingers in Loki’s face, then jumps on him to throw his arms around his neck. “With magic, duh.”

Loki catches your eye over Elliot’s shoulder, eyes wide. “…is your mother in on this plan as well?”

You shrug and shake your head as Elliot gives a firm “nope!”

Wonderful.

“Okay, first part’s a massage.”

Loki blinks. “Oh dear.”

May be best if you just sit back and let the five year old imagination have control of the situation. You sit up and scoot out of the way, grinning at the confusion and fear on Loki’s face as Elliot instructs the god to lay on his stomach.

“Mom said this’s the best way to relax,” he explains—you don’t remember saying that, but okay, sure, Elliot. “No thinkin’ ‘bout work right now, ‘kay??”

Loki reluctantly agrees, his face buried in a pillow and he reaches blindly for your hand. “Yes, your majesty. Will this treatment be assisted by your mother, by any chance?”

Elliot glances over at you. “I don’t think so—”

“Mmhm,” you cut in, squeezing Loki’s hand and leaning over to plan a smooch on Elliot’s forehead. “I’ll give him a follow-up massage tonight, sound good?”

“Sounds wonderful to me,” Loki pipes up, voice muffled in the pillow. “What does that include?”

“Maybe a bath, if you’re good.”

“I’ll consider it.”

“Yeah, mom can help!” Elliot gives an oblivious laugh and stands up, arms waving as he keeps his balance on the mattress. “Ready, dad?”

“Ready for what—NORNS ALIVE, CHILD—”

Elliot just jumped on his back.

He giggles and sways to regain his balance, standing carefully on Loki’s back.

“Elliot!” You reach for him but Loki waves you away, wheezing for breath. “You can’t do that, you could hurt him!”

“I didn’t mean—sorry,” Elliot whispers, eyes going wide in fear. “Nothing hurts you, right?”

“I’m fine.” Loki chokes out a laugh. “A bit of warning would have been appreciated, I’ve never had a…massage by foot before.”

“You just gotta rub out the muscles, right?” Elliot wiggles, his heels digging into Loki’s spine and ripping a pained grunt from under him.

“Please be careful,” you warn, giving Loki’s hand another reassuring squeeze. “I kinda need this one.”

“It’s fine, Elliot. This is very—oof—relaxing.”

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

hope you enjoyed, feel free to send me ideas!

[rapperkookz]

older brother!yoongi

a/n: I had a texting post about this, but I wanted to make it an actual thing bc i fucking love yoongi

lowkey the absolute so f t est

he’s not super duper public about his love for you

but everyone knows that he adores you

it’s like his love for the boys, but amped up x100

you have his same gummy smile

you and yoongi never really fought when you were younger

he always looked after you and you just followed his lead

you both had a quiet understanding of your boundaries and it was nice

you kept each other company during family gatherings bc none of your family really clicked for you guys besides each other

yoongi took better care of you more than your parents did

he’d wake you up for school after you’d fallen back asleep

when you’d get home late from sports practice or whatever, he always made sure that you had some form of food waiting whether it be toast or ramen or leftovers

after he’s done with the bathroom, he’d knock on your door and say “wash up before going to bed”

he’d always make sure to come to your events even if he’s just watching from the side

he’s your #1 fan and when he debuts, you become his

he never told you about his struggles during training, even when you called him and he visibly looked so exhausted to you

from what little money you earned from your part-time job, you tried to send him some home care packages

you’re such a supportive lil sib, you always send him good luck texts before a comeback or concert or tour or award show

and there’s also the texts in the middle of the night

‘go to sleep idiot, you’re working too hard’

‘why the fuck are you awake it’s 4 am’

‘well why are you awake huh’

‘I’m working, you have no excuse, go to bed’

‘shut up bro, you too’

you’re both sarcastic with each other, but you also know it’s filled with love

first time he revealed you to the public was a tweet

he was getting back at you for sending the most embarrassing baby photo to the boys

and he posts the pic of you wearing goggles and ur swimsuit and ur like 12 or something but you look absolutely stupid and he’s laughing in the background

it had no context at all, it was just a pic of you and then a pic of yoongi laughing

and you were pissED like you hate that picture with all your life and now over 10 million people have seen it and you hate yourself

but he tweets afterwards

“at times when i’m down, I really miss my goofy sib. hopefully I can see em again really soon! but for now, back to work”

and your anger just like fizzled away

and you almost started crying because damn it’s been nearly a year since you saw your brother and you miss him so fucking much??

god im soft

REAL CRUCIAL MOMENT IN YOUR RELATIONSIHP W/ HIM

agust d - the last

you bet your fucking ass that you cried so damn hard listening to that track on his mixtape

your brother was struggling that much and you had no clue???

god you felt like such a shitty younger sibling

usually you’d text him to ask before facetiming

but you just pressed the little video cam button before thinking

he was busy ofc but he still answered

“hey kid, i’m sorta in the middle of something, can i call you back-hold on, why are you crying wtf”

you started apologizing like crazy for not being there for him

for being oblivious to his struggles

literally everything

and then how much you love him and how much he means to you

like you were a mess

yoongi gets so soft though

he excuses himself from whatever he was doing and soothes you

“hey...stop crying you big baby, i’m okay”

“you said you almost killed yourself in your mixtape...i don’t ever want to live in a world without you oppa/hyung...”

yoongi’s heart breaks

“you won’t ever have to lil one, i promise.”

then you tell him how much you love his mixtape and he gets so happy and relieved

he knows ur his biggest fan but like your validation still means so much to him

you two are still sarcastic w each other

but as he spends more time w the boys, he gets softer

which means he’s completely like jelly for you

will literally give into all your wishes

he will always ask to see a picture of holly whenever he texts you

even if it’s completely out of context

you: can u bring me a souvenir from malta?

yoongi: send me a pic of holly

when you start dating, he is the scary big brother

like he’s intimidating oof

will not even try to get to know your s/o

your s/o has to win his approval first before yoongi will even crack jokes w them

has probably threatened all the partners that you’ve ever had

you’re off limits to the boys obviously

which sucks bc you lowkey wanna get into their dms sometimes

but yoongi will smack you in the head every time you try to mention it

he cries at your wedding

you know his cry during the 2016 daesang award speech where he’s wearing the red suit from bst

and he just like sobs into his hand?

that’s how he’ll cry at your wedding

he’s the godfather to your first kid

and he spoils the fuck out of your kids like uncle yoongi??? the fucking best

when his songs talk about home, you’re ofc mentioned and an inspiration uwu

you’re always in his thanks to on his songs, albums, whatever

yoongi tries to show you how cool he is, but fails and you laugh

and he gets bitter

oh i love min yoongi

like i would honestly love him as a brother??

ok the end

Peter could never love anyone more than he loved you. Not only was it written in the stars of fate for you, but he had loved you even before then, before he knew what a soulmate was.

In this world, you first found out that you had a soulmate through the senses and emotions (you felt this first at the start of puberty). More often than not, you would feel sad when your soulmate was or they would feel happy when you were but when you met your soulmate, it was said that you would experience a burst of warmth and something that you would have never felt before.

Peter thought himself to be lucky, his soulmate ending up to be you, his longtime crush. He loved everything about you, from the way you laughed to the way your brows furrowed and your tongue stuck out when you studied hard. He loved how caring you were for others and how much you were willing to do to make someone else happy. He loved you, no. He was in love with you.

But sometimes, to him, finding his soulmate in his teen years was a slight burden. Yes, you were his whole world and yes, you treated him well but the teenaged super hero couldn’t help but think that there were things he was missing out on because he had formed his soulmate connection early.

The teen felt as if he had missed out on that wild, rebellious and experimental part of youth. He never got to find himself as a person, test the boundaries. Because he was bound to you. Eternally.

Now, Peter couldn’t blame you for that, he loved you and you, him. It would be unfair to do so. But being so young and watching his friends up and out there in the world made him envious. And right now, he was seriously envious of their ability to not be able to feel their soulmate’s emotions, much more intensely. After becoming bound to each other, it’s possible for the emotional connection between soulmates to strengthen instead of disappear. That had been the case for yourself and Peter.

As he trained alongside his mentor, turned uncle figure, the brunette could feel your irritation bursting through his veins and he knew exactly why you were feeling that way. Letting out a huff, the webbed-hero forced himself to work away your emotions as he practiced his moves, so he could focus more on himself but with every passing thought, he could tell that his girlfriend was becoming more and more frustrated.

Plopping down on the training mat, Peter let out an exhausted sigh as your irked emotions seemed to subside. He ran a hand through his sweaty locks as he watched his mentor take a seat opposite him after their sparring match. “You okay kid?” Tony asked, tossing the boy a bottle of water to soothe his heaving chest.

Peter nodded, resting his outstretched arms on his knees as he toyed with the plastic. “It’s just (Y/N)” Tony raised a brow as the younger hero went on. “I can tell she’s slightly mad at me for spending the weekend up here training instead of being with her”

Tony only nodded in response, choosing not to give advice from his own failed relationships (he had yet to meet his soulmate) and pressed his lips into a thin line. Sometimes, Peter wished he could be like the billionaire; live out his life for just a little longer before finding his soulmate but other times, he noticed how lonely Mr Stark got and he considered himself grateful then.

As the young avenger settled into his bed at the avengers compound, a strong wave of sadness crashed over him as it pumped through his veins. Peter knew you were upset, he hated when you felt that way especially when he was the cause behind it. The young brunette thought about sending you cute little cat videos, maybe some vines to cheer you up because he loved you and would much rather bask in your happiness rather than revel in your sadness but suddenly; there was a gut wrenching blow of pain that twisted in a spot at the back of Peter’s head and an unexpected feeling of fear and panic rose in the chambers of his chest.

Shooting up, he felt his own panic trickle into his blood stream, flowing in a circuit around his body and making him anxious. Throwing the covers off his body, the brunette teen scrambled for his phone, viciously tapping in the passcode before scrolling to your phone number. He dialled it.

It rang once. Twice. Three times.

“H-hello-?” The voice was weak, small and quivering but Peter knew it was yours. There was somewhat of a thwack and then a whimper causing Peter to clench the phone In is grip. “Peter...”

“Y/N-? Baby, are you okay? Where-?” The pause that followed had the boy tense, one hundred million thoughts running through his head. A dark chuckle emitted from the end of the line, along with more whimpers. “I don’t know who you are...” Peter growled, hating whoever it was, that was hurting his girlfriend, his soulmate. “But if you lay another hand on her, I swear to god I’ll-“

“Oh what’s this?” The voice taunted, not even intimidated by Peter’s menacing tone. “Is The itsy bitsy spider, threatening me? Now, we just can’t have that can we little dove? Tell your precious little soulmate how things are going to go down, darling.”

There was shuffling on the other end, heavy breaths filling the air. “P-pete...” he gripped the phone harder at your voice. “I don’t know how they got m-me but they want something from Mr Stark. I don’t know what, I-“

The line cuts off and the teenaged superhero drops his phone with shaky hands, leaning back on his headboard as he tried to gather his thoughts. What would he do? How could he help you? How could he let this happen to you? His soulmate? Fingers practically trembled as the brunette reached for his phone, a text message illuminating  the screen and the the room.

[To Peter Parker]

[From Baby <3 ]

Bring us the stark tech or your precious little dove gets it.

Another text followed though only mere seconds later, with coordinates his soulmates location sending him into a frenzy. The brunette shot up, yanking on the spidersuit, pacing around the room as he did so. How would he get what he needed? What would Mr Stark say? A plan formulated in his mind, he could always scale the building and sneak into the labs, maybe even disable F.R.I.D.A.Y for a while. Nodding his head, Peter lugged open his window, fear settling in his chest at the prospect of his soulmate getting hurt or even stealing from his mentor.

Just as he was about to crawl through the window, his bedroom door popped open with a click. The teen superhero half expected it to be Vision, heading to the wrong quarters again but instead he was met with the groggy face of his role model, Tony Stark. “P-Peter” the elder man yawned, stretching his back until it cracked. Said boy froze in his place, unsure of how to react, of how it looked with him trying to sneak out. “I heard shuffling, are you okay-?”

Tony glanced over the boy, confusion falling over his tired and aged features as he watched Peter step down from the window. “Mr Stark- I...it’s not what it looks like-“

That was all it took for the boy to break down, heaving out his fears and worries and the menacing situation that raided his teenage mind. After all, he was still just a kid, and yes he hadn’t experienced the wild side of being a teenager, but if anything had happened to you. Peter would never forgive himself.

Tony held the boy through out his tears, shakes and shivers, promising the teenaged superhero that he’d get his soulmate back,  even if it was the last thing either of them did. They left the compound that night with two words on the seams of the elder’s lips. “Suit up”

It wasn’t long before the pair reached the warehouse you were being held hostage at. The air, was thick, scents of rotting wood and damp wafting through it whilst the atmosphere was tense and left a heavy feeling on Peter’s shoulders.

The place was littered with men, most of the loitering and some carrying weapons. Peter and Tony watched from behind craters, the elder hero trying to formulate some kind of plan before trying to get to you. Peter’s mind was rushing at a million miles per minute as he tried to figure out who was behind this, who had taken you. “Listen Kid, we’re going to need a plan if we’re going to do this properly” Tony whispered, from his right, but the boy paid no mind.

Then he heard it, that voice. The one from the phone. The one who had so sickeningly called you ‘little dove’

And then everything went black.

Blinded by rage, the spider-like hero tore himself from his hiding place, charging at the men who stood about, despite the desperate pleads of the iron man, who stood beside him. Peter shot web after web, towards the men, dragging them down to the ground as their leader, your capture tried to escape. Web fluid, tugged men about, slamming them to the ground by the skull, anxiety raged through the boy’s body, anger courses through his veins and he wasn’t quite sure if it was because he felt your emotions or if he was scared himself.

Tony was shooting blaster’s beside him, he was taking punches and kicks and hits all over, but he’d snapped when he heard the words. “Make sure he doesn’t get the girl!”

“Where is she?!” The brunette yelled viciously, one web later and one of the minions was disarmed, arms pinned to the wall above him as Peter marched forward, with the intent to kill. He gripped the man by the shoulders, shaking him with vigour as he felt his soulmate’s fear rise. “I said where the hell is she?!”

His voice was desperate, but his actions fierce, almost as if he had instant kill mode activated without Karen’s help. The man shook his head, mumbling apologies, pleas for his life. The teen was only mere seconds from ending it, for taking his girl. The one he promised to protect but he was stopped.

“He’s not worthit kid...” Tony tired to reason, the mask plate of his helmet sliding up. The older hero’s expression was stern, almost remorseful, as he gently pried Peter away from the man. “Go after your girl, I’ll take care of things out here.”

With reluctance, the superhero released the minion, nodding his head as he ran off through the warehouse, looking for his soulmate, looking for you. The corridors grew darker and darker with each step, the only sounds coming from the dripping pipes and perhaps even... sobs?

Turning a corner, Peter found himself at the entrance to an empty room and at its centre, was you. You looked tired, weak, hair scraggly and tangled, arms bound to a chair behind your back with your head hung low. You were crying, crystal droplets of water, streaming down the apples of your grubby cheeks. Your breathing uneven.

Peter hated to see you this way.

And it was all his fault.

There was a brief second where you’d looked up, relief flooding through your veins when  you noticed the familiar red and blue of Peter’s costume. A faint gasp tumbled from your lips, your red blew wide as you noticed him, and even the faintest of smiles tugged at your lips. Peter felt relief and even happiness filter through his blood stream, and from beneath the mask he was smiling too, you were okay.

But the moment ended as quickly as it came, the leader stopping in front of you once again. Peter watched as the man’s bony fingers traced the edge of your jawline, tipping your chin up so that you would look at him. Goosebumps rose on the plains of his skin, throat dry as he watched, hoping you got out unscathed.

“Oh little dove” the man drawled with a villainous and cool tone, making you flinch away from him. “Your silly boyfriend’s here to save you” he tutted, as you struggled to get away, whimpers burning at the back of your throat. “Too bad he didn’t follow one of my rules, bringing backup. Now we might have to kill him too.”

The man removed himself from your smaller frame, but that didn’t stop you from screaming out. “P-please don’t hurt him, I’ll do anything-“ your voice was hoarse, dry like an arid desert from your lack of water which broke Peter’s heart. The villain offered you a half hearted, sympathetic pout before grinning evilly as he began to prepare for his battle with the infamous Spider-Man.

Peter couldn’t control his next actions.

The brunette blindly flung himself into the room, slinging webs at anyone who approached him during his blind hazy fury. Casting out two webs, the teen hero caught the villain by his arms, yanking him forward so that he hit his head on the railing before him. “Let her go” Peter growled, advancing towards the man to perform another attack.

“Not until I get what you promised me”

Peter yanked him forward again with gritted teeth and fury in his eyes. “I said, let her go”

He made a move to step forward, only stopping at the sound of a blade being drawn and a gasp falling from your trembling lips. A man, most likely a follower of the leader, stood by you, a silver blade pointed to your side, as Peter held the man unsteadily in his grip.

“Make one more move and she gets it” the leader spoke, a smug tone seeping into his voice. The teen could do nothing but analyse the situation, for him, there was no way out of it. One step or false movement could end your life, could end his own. You were his everything.

It almost seemed like all hope was lost, when the sound of a blaster charging up tickled the tips of Peter’s ears, diving away, he narrowly missed the beam of heat energy that Tony’s protective armour released. There was a mumble of‘go get her kid’ from the older superheroes blast.

Launching himself at the chair you were bound too, Peter was mere seconds away from being reunited with his soulmate. All he wanted to do was gather you up and bring you home, whispering sweet nothings into your ear but he was soon stopped by a certain feeling. The feeling of pain.

It bloomed to the right of his abdomen, like a bright flower at the beginnings of spring, except more excruciating, more deadly. The teen boy fell to the ground, his eyes screwing shut and as soundless scream passed his lips. His fingers that prodded at his stomach felt no blood, but the sight he saw when looking up was even worse.

You were slumped forward in your chair, eyes wide with shock, body frozen with fear as a crimson patch grew from the point at which the blade had cut you. Your eyes fluttered open and closed as yells of your name passed from Peter Parker’s lips. He could feel it, your pain, your fear, anxiety because,

You didn’t want to die.

And he could feel that.

And even as the teen begged you to stay awake, begged you to keep your eyes open and stay strong for him, he knew he was fading away into a dark, black abyss as well.

Maybe it was the repetitive blip of the heart monitors or the bright fluorescent lights thank roused Peter, or maybe it was the wild thoughts and memories pumping through his brain that woke him up. He couldn’t tell.

With blinking brown doe eyes, he looked around, taking in the minimalist room. White painted walls, white bed sheets, white light light, white that. Everything was blank. The boy assumed he was in the hospital ward of the avengers compound, the IV drip in his hand giving it away.

His sweaty palms lay lightly on the crisp linen sheets, probably made of the finest material Tony Stark could find, as he tried to piece together bit by bit what had happened for him to wake up in such a way. The more he thought about it, the more scared, queasy and uneasy he felt because firstly, he didn’t know where you were and secondly;

He couldn’t feel your emotions, your  feelings.

Quietly, The young Parker unhooked himself from the series of machines, bare feet padding out of his room and down the corridor as he narrowly managed to avoid bumping into Mr Stark and Aunt May, who were arguing with hushed whispers. That wasn’t important right now. Peter quickly gained access to your hospital room, with the help of Karen, his feet cold from the tiled floor, but the rest of his body warm from the fluffy PJS Mr Stark had left him with.

The boy hesitantly stepped into your room, that same heart monitor sound pulsing throughout the silence. Peter’s heart almost broke when he skim read your file.

[induced coma for stability]

Your operations were successful, you were going to survive that horrible wound but that didn’t stop your boyfriend, your soulmate from succumbing to the gray clouds of guilt. If it hadn’t been from him, you wouldn’t be in this mess, wounded with paling skin from blood loss. Your hair wouldn’t be tangled and dry, but instead bouncy and bright, your eyes wouldn’t have heavy bags under them, but would maybe have only one or two from your late night Netflix binge watches. Had he been earlier, none of these things would have happened.

Had he been earlier, You wouldn’t have almost died.

With shaky hands, Peter let his fingers brush over your hairline as he would when he held you close, his other hand interlocked with yours that lay bandaged at your side, and he leaned down with watery eyes full of regret. “I’m sorry” the bot whispered with a quivering voice, brown eyes shutting sharply to prevent himself from tearing up. Why couldn’t he have been earlier? “I’m so so sorry”

His eyes kept closed this time as he rested his forehead on his soulmate’s, whispering a thousand sorrows against your skin, barely noticing the way your smaller hand squeezed his.

To let him know, it was all going to be okay.

Rules : Answer the questions and tag 10 people

How tall are you?

5′6″ right on the dot 

What color and style is your hair?

My hair is naturally like a hazel hazel brown ish color. Last December my friend helped me put red highlights in it. And then in March I got blonde highlights. And recently I just threw some purple die into the mix, so now it looks a little greyish. 

It’s really really curly and annoying. And it goes to my shoulders. It’s such a mess rn. I don’t normally do much with it. I just try to make sure it doesn’t look to wild, and let it do what it wants for the most part.

They a blue grey color. The grey is kinda mixed inside the middle. And the blue is a darkish ocean blue color 

Do you wear glasses?

no

Do you have braces?

I have never had them 

What’s your fashion sense?

If I could, I would wear sweatpants everywhere. But life ain’t like that. A typical day consists of skinny jeans, either a sweater or tshirt or button up, paired with sandals (all I wear this time of year lol), slip on shoes, or converse high tops (but that’s only when I gotta be #osha compliant for my labs cuz I’m lazy as heck otherwise and lacing up shoes takes too much effort)

Full name

Krystal Fabricius

When were you born?

March 13th, 2000

Where are you from and where do you live?

I am from America. The good old state of Utah, and I still live there, but I have moved to a different area for college. 

What school(s) do you go to?

I graduated high school last year and I currently go to hell college. I’m a Freshman, but technically a Sophomore because I cranked out 31 credits in high school. This semester is ending in like 2.5 weeks (I am STRESSED), so I will be a junior in the fall 

What kind of student are you?

Well. I was really good in highschool, and I guess I’m still pretty good about getting my homework done on time. I do pretty good on my tests, but I got super super lazy this semester and skipped like... 1/3 of all my classes. I’m so dumb 

Do you like school?

I guess. When I’m not learning, I miss it. But when I am I hate tests lol 

Fav subject?

HISTORY, and my Med classes 

Fav TV shows?

I haven’t watched a TV show in like forever, but my roommate watches lots of medical shows, so when im out of my room like once a week, I’ll go watch them and judge the accuracy of them. 

Fav books?

The Cinder series by Marissa Meyer 

The Way of Kinds series by Brandon Sanderson (Even though the books are like 1300+ pages long with super small font and long pages, they’re pretty good) 

Fav pastimes?

Watching cheesy movies, watching Ateez videos, sleeping... yeah

Do you have any regrets?

everything. I regret a lot of things in my life 

Dream job?

something history related. I have always loved history. But there aren’t really any jobs in that field besides teaching, and I’m not really thrilled at the idea of being a teacher. But being a lab technician in a hospital would also be a dream. I’ve been studying that this semester, and I’m excited to get started on a career 

Would you ever like to be married?

yeah

Would you like to have children?

ok, I’m terrified of giving birth, but I also have this really weird thing where I want to continue my family line and would be super sad if it died off. 

If so, how many?

at least one. Maybe 2 so they don’t get lonely. Actually, maybe 3 (oof) because I grew up with only one sibling and he ignored me a lot, so I felt lonely. I always wanted another sibling to play with 

Do you like shopping?

I have to be in the mood. Either I would rather die than shop, or I could shop for hours. 

What countries have you visited?

America. That’s it. I really want to get out and travel, but I’m broke 

Scariest nightmare you’ve ever had?

I don’t have nightmares often, but I hate the ones where I’m running from someone or something and I don’t know where they are. They could be anywhere, and idk where to go to avoid them. 

Any enemies?

not really 

Do you have a significant other?

nope. Who would want to date me? lol

Do you get along with your family?

We’re pretty good. I argue with them a lot, but they’re pretty fun to be with most of the time 

Do you believe in miracles?

yeah, kinda 

How are you?

freaking exhausted. I stayed up till 8:30 am, and just woke up like an hour ago at 1:00 pm. I was on a role and got lots of shit done. But now I need to get back to studying ugh.

Consider: Mina is a genuinely happy and positive person, but everyone has bad days (especially people who have been thru trauma, like seeing your loved ones regularly beaten to a bloody pulp). The thing is that Mina just. Refuses to show that trauma has actually been effecting her. She starts suppressing negative reactions to situations bc she wants to "stay strong." Beginning of the year? She cried when they got rescued from USJ. End of the year? "Lmao guess we survived another one! Ha! Ha! :)"

oh my god like millennial humor?? if yeah then lmao mina please

a-single-eyelash asked:

Denki accidentally hurt someone as a kid, say a sibling or good friend, with his quirk. It made him hate his work, until he saw a hero with a similar work to his. This is what made him think that not only is his quirk cool, but also that he can become a hero. Well until, he hurt Sero. His boyfriend, got electrocuted by him on the battlefield. (Sorry this is an idea I’ve had for a fic)

O H

BRUH THAT HIT ME LIKE A TRAIN COMING OUT FROM BEHIND THE BUSHES I THOUHGT THERE WAS GONNA BE A HAPPY ENDING THIS IS STILL GOOD THO 

anonymous asked:

Bakugou is still sad, Sero is suicidal (Read to may fics about it man), Kami is legitimately afraid he’ll disappoint his parents, Tsu feels to normal, Kiri feeeeeelsss way to useless, and idk maybe Aoyama feels ignored. My own angsty headcanons.

Ah, yeah I can see how those can play into those characters!

anonymous asked:

Sero’s fight or flight response with a villains ice-like quirk (if your for that headcanon) OR Sero overwhelming his quirk trying to rescue a goddamn building of people

OH YA I AM FOR THAT

Also NO STOP HAVE I GOT SOMETHING IN STORE ABOUT COLLAPSING BUILIDINGS

anonymous asked:

Ashido + Bakugou bond over their quirks being destructive and not really knowing how to use them to actually *help* people

oh wow, I’ve never actually seen it that way.

But how about this: while they vent to each other about how their quirks can’t help people, the other is like, full on giving them descriptions of how their quirks actually CAN but they just never realized and they’re opening each other’s eyes while having their own insecurities knocked down

anonymous asked:

Omg your angst au is so angsty it’s beautiful

AH thank you haha!

anonymous asked:

Angsty headcannon boi-  Sero was bullied in middle school for having wonky teeth and actually had braces. Which is why he has such a pearly white smile now.  Sero was the last in his class to get his quirk and when he did he was laughed at because it was a ‘useless quirk’

n O ANON IM SOB

IM CRYING LEAVE HIM ALONE ILL SQUARE UP WITH THOSE BULLIES

anonymous asked:

Angst head cannon.  Sero flinches whenever kirishima hardens.  Sero’s parents are majorly homophobic and are actually quite strict. So whenever sero isn’t with bakusquad he tries to revise but it doesn’t work and he’s scared to ask for help.

Aw, man that’s heart wrenching to have parents so unsupportive- I feel it :( He’s just in a constant worry state whenever they’re around

anonymous asked:

If you’re still accepting the angst hcs… i think kaminari gets like really overcharged whenever there’s a storm and since they moved to the dorms there’s nowhere for him to release all the excess energy. So he just kinda hides away in his room in pain.

Aw, that’s terrible!

I dunno.. I feel like that one day when someone finds out during a storm, they’ll like, ask the teachers about “where someone could discharge a lot of energy askingforafriend” and they immediately know who they’re talking about and they’ll ask Powerloader and Mei and others in their department to build something for him to discharge all the excess AND be able to utilize it somehow :0 just a thought!

anonymous asked:

My headcannons: Sero is anorexic Bakugou has PTSD Kaminari has depression Kirishima had self-esteem issues Ashido is perfect (canon)

Oh that last part- she is, she is *clap**clap*

Though.. I will say that just because the others are haunted by those- it doesn’t make them less perfect. It’s their struggles that they learn to cope with and grow from, and it makes them, well, them. Not a definition of perfect can define that :’)

(sorry just speaking from my thoughts cause these hit close to home ahhh)

anonymous asked:

Lmao i sent a lot sorry if their not the best but hopefully some heart strings will be pulled

NONSENSE ANON ALL MY HEART STRINGS WERE PLUCKED BY ALL THESE AND NOW ITS YALLS TURN

transcandydemon asked:

Todocanon; todoroki has constant nightmares of the boiling water incident and of his father hurting him or his mom which causes him to not get as much sleep ie his calm attitude and how he’s not quick to get into conversations because of exhaustion

oh ya, such a traumatic past is def something that could still be haunting him in his dreams :’( but when the others notice, they’ll make sure to check up on him and try to find ways to help reduce nightmares or at least comfort him whenever they’re in his dreams

anonymous asked:

Deku head canon : deku is super jealous of kirishimas and bakugoa relationship since hes been trying to get close to kacchan for years and kirishima managed to do it within days

D’: He probably would feel that- jealousy’s very strong! But ah, in my personal opinion, i think he’d feel that, but after time learns that maybe it was best that he stopped dwelling on it and moves on, and learns to accept and be happy that he and Bakugou could at least be acquaintances that could eventually work well :’)

anonymous asked:

Denki headcanon: where he wants to be as close to bakugo as kirishima is and he tries so damn hard but takes bakugos insults to heart and he really does get torn up and upset about it(ex: the sports festival scene )

Oh wait which scene? Dunce face or?? :0 but yeah, I feel like he’d take it to heart at times. (but my bakukami heart tells me to say that when Baku realizes he gives him a good ass pep talk and beings hold back on his insults, or reassures Denki)

anonymous asked:

Bakugou could have PTSD and nightmares

Oh same headcanon! :’D Ah, but poor Bakugou. I’m sure the others would take it into mind and be aware of it and help him subtly so as to not provoke him, :’(

violetsare-tblue asked:

Bakugo: because of his inferiority complex, feels like he needs to prove himself over and over or he’ll be just the victim again  Iida: his left arm is completely numb. He isn’t paralyzed and he can move it. He just can’t feel anything in his hand or arm. Makes holding hands with someone feel empty and useless  Sero: he is so scared of being worthless as a hero and a person. He doesn’t want to be left behind by his classmates so he overworks himself and comes to school with random bruises

Oh mmhmm, I definitely see the Bakugou one! Especially after what he said during his fight with Deku, it def shows :(

Aw, Iida probably still looks back at his actions back in the Stain arc and regrets the errors of his ways. Luckily, I’m sure he’ll find someone who helps him through it and reminds him that mistakes don’t define him :’)

:’( Serooo MAKING ME CRY

casua-aria asked:

I have this Sero headcanon where he was the disposable (like how when tape dispensers run out and become disposable) friend in groups throughout his childhood, but now that he goes to UA, he has true caring friends that would never do that to him.

D: !!

That’s so sad- he must have thought his quirk was just life taunting him for being “disposable” hence the tape quirk :( but heck yeah, once he meets the students of UA he definitely begins to see that he wasn’t the problem in the past, but rather those that he was “friends” with!

anonymous asked:

Sero remembering very clearly all the pain that happened when his arm got cut off, maybe being a little scared of Kirishima for a few days after he first wakes up? Idk

OH YEAH THAT ONE HURTS

Like maybe.. once he’s able to respond again, he flinches and has an anxiety attack when he sees Kirishima because the sight of him just sends a flood of the memory to play in his head OOF

anonymous asked:

A personal favorite that nobody’s really thought of: a villain cuts off one finger from each of Ochako’s hands so she can’t use her quirk

OH MAN THATS BRUTAL OMG

That’s so dark!! I feel like a villain would do that should they get a hold of her and, mm maybe wanna rile up someone close to her to lure them in

meptoonzart asked:

Kirishima traitor

b R U H ID CRY MY EYES OUT IF HORI MADE HIM THE TRAITOR

                                                                                                                             Anonymous said:                                                                 

I have a lot of angsty headcanons about Kaminari specifically so I’ll just spam you with those. He attracts electricity, so he often gets struck by lightning and has almost died from it twice. Kaminari knows people think he’s the traitor and it eats him up inside every day. He’s been ‘propositioned’ by quite a few creeps because he’s pretty and his quirk is, well, what it is. He has nightmares a lot and it causes power outages, he’s terrified his classmates will hate him for it.(1/?(Idk2maybe)            

Sero got into a fight with someone after the sports festival, because how the hell did he make it into UA’S hero course, and Kaminari happens to be with him and he actively threatens the dude who started the fight with his quirk. No one bullies his friends. His overuse of his quirk is slowly killing him, he hasn’t told anyone that it’s destroying his brain. Bakugo reminds him of living in an abusive household but he doesn’t know how to say it so he laughs it off.(2/?(Okaymaybe4wearegettingthere)             

Kirishima and Sero are the first to find out about both the frying brain and the abusive household, and Sero asks Kaminari if he wants to go try something. Kaminari says sure and Sero reserves a training ground for them, and Sero swings around with Kaminari and he hopes it works for Kami the same way it does for him. Sero is smiling because he doesn’t know what else to do, but swinging through the air helps him feel better and free. It helps. But there’s always, always the anxiety (¾)  

the anxiety of ‘Maybe today is the day I fall’, but he doesn’t realize that Kaminari is helping him stay grounded. He won’t fall. Not when he gets to see Kaminari fuller of life than he’s ever been. They land on one of the buildings in ground Beta, and laugh like idiots as it starts to rain. Kaminari’s dying, Sero is a mess, and they just sit there for hours, past the end of their reservation, talking through their anxieties. Kaminari is scared to die. Sero is scared to lose him. (Okay1more4/5)        

Sero promises Kaminari he’ll be there, he’ll do everything he can to help keep him alive as long as possible, and he asks Kaminari how long he has from his last estimate. Kaminari laughs, starting to cry. Six years. Sero tells the Bakusquad, and they promise him that they’ll be there when the time comes. Not villains or Dadzawa could stop them, and finally it does. For only being a hero for three years, he’s made history for kids who have terminal illnesses (ranoutofspacedammit)      

 And the drawbacks of quirks come more into light. Kaminari may not be a great student or hero, but he brought hope to a lot of people, and everyone will miss him. They can’t hear thunder crack without thinking of him, can’t see the golden sunrise without thinking of his smile. Can’t even bear to look at the classic lit section in a bookstore. He saved people and raised awareness, but he wrecked their hearts as well. (Somehow this turned into a near-fic I’m so sorry Hope you’re doing well(Done))       

ANON OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS BASICALLY FIC IM CRYING THERES SO MUCH I DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START CRYING

Heard you want some angsty headcannons- so Kaminari tends to stay up due to his quirk and he likes to stay in the dormitory lobby, so he just sits on the couch on his phone or just sits there in the dark- but this leads to him finding some secretive angsty stuff about other people in the dormitory for ex; Bakugou comes downstairs and just starts cooking cause he has terrible night terrors and Kaminari just quietly witnesses as Bakugou cries silently while he eats. (Part 1)    

(Part 2) the next morning Kaminari kind of wants to try ask or comfort him but feels rude and awkward so he also kind of struggles with the knowledge of knowing that everyone in his class is a little to a lot of broken.  So yeah, sorry if it’s a little confusing- in awkward when it comes to writing what I want to write…

DUUDE THIS IS SUCH A SAD CONCEPT IF YOU WRITE IT I WILL LEGITERALLY PERISH ON SPOT

                                                                                                                             Anonymous said:                                                   

May we… suggest directly… angsty oneshots? Please feel free to ignore this if you preferred hcs

 (lmao sorry, im not caught up with the manga or anime to know what the first part is referrring to :’D) but ah yeah I’ve seen that headcanon, not too sure how to feel, but it’s out there!

give me minute yall

please excuse my english, i’ve never gotten good grades 

i finally pulled myself together(not) and I just want to say that I’m very very proud of NCT and even us the fans . We’ve all been through so much . Protecting our boys from the cruel world with the best of our abilities;A;

OK lets start from  the oldest Mark, we all know about him having to debut in 3 different units. And not once he complained about being tired or anything .He even told us how happy he was and how he wanted to see the fans more. That shows how much he love this career and would do anything to make us happy. From being the youngest to being the leader would have taken a toll on him. And im pretty sure that even if he doesn’t show, there was probably times where he felt very exhausted . Especially with the people calling absolutely fully capable .You’ve worked hard Mark Lee

Renjun , omg this boy . He came from China and had to learn korean and being far from his family would probably make that kid sad af. Apart from that , he also helps his fellow member Chenle with adapting to this new surrounding . imagine being not sure of something yourself but then you go take yourself sure of it cause people look up to him.  Iwould honestly be stressed to the max if i was him.I applause him for that. you too, have worked hard Huang Renjun 

next we have Jeno. Being an idol , theres this part where you’ve gotta be talented at many things and also be funny.As most of us would know Jeno finds himeself the most boring in NCT which is not true of course. I believe he just gotta open up more and he probably be as funny as Haechan . Jeno needs more confidence and I can tell he’s working on in especially in the recent NCT DREAM Vlive where Mark was absent and he took the sub leader role .And we can see how much he talked compared to before. Actually all the members became more comfortable now and it makes me so soft inside .SO if we give it more time ,NCT would probably be variety gods. You’ve work hard Lee Jeno.

now my boi Haechan . I have no idea where to start and I feel that this will get long af. We all know how this boy can be mischievous and sassy .But lets all also remember that he is probably the most softest kid in NCT. As canbe seen from today, he was the first to cry when NCT DREAM was announced as the winner . I could understand why though. He has been going on about wanting to get first place on music shows since early 2017 and having his wish come true probably felt like a miracle (oh god im crying again) He ihas been a trainee since 2014?? when he was 14. Like damn his voice was probably just started to break and we all know how stressful it is to train your voice when puberty is hitting you like nobody’s bussiness. Oh and let’s not forget how strong he is . Like he was bawling his eyes out awhile ago but then a few seconds later he started hitting notes like an angel like it was a piece of cake.Damn son. He was probably thinking about how he was the team mood maker , and he wanted to show us how he happy he is . AND IM CRYYING .ok so. im so proud oof you . You’ve worked hard Lee Donghyuck 

Chenle , oh baby chenle .All the way from china with not much knowledge about korea or even kpop but here he is ., Slaying every stage . He was already a celebrity in China before he came here, but he still stayed in korea ,learn the language , and debut as a member of NCT. How hard did he work to be here only he and the members a know.Let’s not forget he is only 16 this year. WOW . when i was 16 i was stuggling with school.Im sososo proud of him . I can’t fully describe how much this is making me feel.yOU Zhong Chenle, have worked hard.

Our maknae , jisung.Bby chick JISung he so young . AND SO TALENTED .how does SM get this kids????Omg ok smol baby  jisung started dancing probably after he came out of the womb.Ok but serious , boys his age would be playing outside with friends instead of being in the studio and dance rooms for hours .With so much schedule and rules to follow.Scratch that NCT DREAM practically gave up their childhood to be where  they are now. Damn . You’ve  work hard Park Jisung .

Last and not least, Our Happy Virus Jaemin .gOd i missed him so much it hurts, so , damn, much. From what i heard , he was already suffering that waist injury since he was a trainee? im not so sure . But if  its true, i’m so proud of him, risking his health so that he could show us am azing performance that they have been practising .But i also hope that he take care of himself more now. it really hurts to see them hurting. Im sure he is sad that he can’t join his members in this comeback. sO many things had happen , and not being able to be there probably made him guilty but i hope he knows everyone misses him and hope he recover really soon cause we really need our happy virus.omG HIS SMILE. yOu’ve worked hard Na Jaemin

so in conclusion im totally whipped for NCT as a whole but today’s event made me reflect on how hard they all worked . Haters , if you have nothing nice  to say,then please shut up and mind your bussiness. NCT fans let’s continue supporting every single one of them cause they are family and everyone should be loved.Let’s not hate one member or one unit because your fav didnt get to shine.Its just the start ,theres still alot of time ,I believe all NCT members will shine so brightly that the haters go blin. lets love them okayy!
