The Stranger The Better (FNAF SB fanfic) C11 - The Knight Falls Headfirst Into The Sky

Read the intro to Chapter 1 (Enter A Sleepy Bitchard) for more details! I'd start reading there anyways else things won't make a whole lot of sense lol

In Summary: Reader is a forever exhausted young adult who has social difficulties doing their best to pay the bills, so when they get hired at the well-paying, almost entirely automated Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizza-Plex, they don't really hesitate to think things through before stumbling headfirst into a horror mystery surrounding this company and its crew of quirky (and surprisingly kind) animatronics.

Things To Know (lmk if I should add anything, also check the tags for more stuff):

There are some horror elements in several chapters! This chapter is not spooky at all. Spiders are sort of mentioned but otherwise this is just SOFT SWEET FLUFF baby!

Eventual romance, minorly important to the plot.

Reader has paranoia.

There is much swearing.

Reader is also addicted to energy drinks, and not fantastic at self care.

Reader is nonbinary (and also trans masc) though it's not vital to the plot and only comes up once or twice.

Reader is from the south, is protective of their friends, and if you threaten their friends then I'm afraid you've yee'd your last haw and yes that is important to the plot

C11 - The Knight Falls Headfirst Into The Sky

Management sent you another email.

'Dear valued employee, we here at Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizza-Plex management offices are delighted to notify you of your recent promotion! In addition to your current responsibilities, you will now also supervise what we are calling the 'Daycare Attendant Reintroduction Project'. You will be responsible for making sure the animatronic 'Moon' displays no further sign of previously discussed malfunctions, and will report any new issues immediately. Moon will return to security duty at once, under your close supervision, and will be undergoing a supervised 'test phase' over the following three weeks. Moon will return to daycare duties for two hours each day, from 12:00pm to 2:00pm. Please make the necessary arrangements in order to supervise the animatronic during this time. In addition to your added responsibilities and in light of your work record so far, you will be receiving a 10$ by the hour pay increase, putting your hourly pay at 40$ per hour. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to email us. Attached is a copy of your posted schedule for the following two weeks. Thank you, Management'

You read the email over a second time, then a third. You looked at your attached schedule, and sure enough, you had two extra hours scheduled every day except on the weekends, when you presumed the daycare was closed. You were now scheduled for 39 and a half hours every week, and not a minute more.

It didn't seem like you had much choice in the matter. The pay bump was nice though, and it meant you wouldn't be financially fucked when you had to take shorter shifts at the deli. Oh god, the deli… you needed to call your manager.

It wasn't until after you'd worked things out with your manager at the deli, explaining the impromptu email you'd gotten and negotiating days off and shorter shifts, that you actually realized what this meant.

You'd be coming in during the day, when there were hoards of screaming children running around. You'd be expected to supervise Moon as he ran around herding toddlers for two hours. Oh jeez, what if you swore in front of the kids??

You pulled out your phone to text Sun just as you received a message from him.

'Management says you have to babysit Moon for a few weeks!!'

You snorted. 'Yeah, maybe I'll put them in timeout for a change'

'Oh, I should tell you! Now that Moon and I are separate, we're both using he and him pronouns now' Sun explained.

'Oh okay, gotcha'

You wondered what management had told Sun and Moon exactly about the Daycare Attendant Reintroduction Project. You could talk to them tonight, you were going in for a shorter shift later. You'd apparently be supervising Moon, which was bound to be... interesting.

~~~

"Okay… This is weird." You looked between Sun and Moon. "But sorta cool."

"Now we can play three person card games," Sun exclaimed.

"I can demolish both of you at once at cards?? This is gonna be great." You laughed.

"I seem to recall you loosing miserably at cards only two nights ago?" Moon teased.

"Not only was it two against one, but I was very sleepy." You waved Moon off. "No cards until later, though. We've got a plex to patrol."

"So… So you're both gonna leave while I stay here in the daycare?" Sun pouted.

"We'll be back in no time, Sunny." You pat Sun's arm. "It'll be okay."

"Okay." Sun sighed.

Moon also seemed hesitant to leave. He was dragging his feet and kept glancing back as you and Moon left Sun behind and began the rounds around the plex.

"So sheriff… it appears I've been assigned as your deputy for a while," Moon said.

"Seems so, partner. Don't you worry none, I'll teach ya the ropes. Shootin, spittin, and gazing out dramatically at the sunset. All vital skills to the position," you said in your cowboy accent.

"Yes, of course." Moon smiled. "Not to mention going to sleep at a reasonable hour after gazing at the sunset."

"Hmm. They didn't teach me that one in cowboy school."

You walked together in silence for a while. You peeked in all the same corners and under all the counters you usually did.

"Is this what you do every night? This is boring." Moon slumped over dramatically.

You rolled your eyes. "It's important. After the first rounds I feel pretty secure in the knowledge that there's no one who snuck in hiding in the plex. The rounds after that make sure things stay that way. At the very least, I find a lot of stuff to put in lost and found." You pulled out your worn map with all the little marks on it. "These are all the spots I check first thing every night. All these little marks are places I think someone could hide, and a few spots the cameras don't cover."

Moon stared at you. "You're taking this job way too seriously."

"I do my damndest at everything I do." You stuck your tongue out at Moon.

You turned your attention back to the rounds, shining your flashlight around big potted plants and colorful signs.

You felt your hat leave your head. Confused, you turned to look behind you to see if it had fallen off. You realized Moon was wearing the hat. It didn't fit quite right on his head, sitting lopsided and half covering his nightcap.

You sighed. "Moon. Give me my hat back."

"What hat." Moon looked at you innocently.

"You fuckin stinker, my hair's a mess! Common!" You tried to jump up and grab it, but Moon was too tall. He didn't even have to move to stop you.

Moon ruffled your hair, grinning when you groaned in frustration.

"First my hoodie and now my hat. What more will you rob me of?" You sighed dramatically.

"Hat? Oh, you mean this hat!" Moon made a big show of realizing your hat was on his head. "Oh my, how did that get up there?"

You snatched your hat back. Moon chuckled.

You continued the rounds, making your usual stop to see DJMM. Mr. Music greeted Moon like an old friend, and the two exchanged hand gestures too quickly for you to follow. You caught something about the DJ wanting to know how Sun was, to which Moon replied in the positive, then delved into a longer talk you thought was about the separation. Near the end, Moon signed something and pointed at you, which made the DJ laugh, the sound comprised of light musical tones.

You squinted at Moon. "What are yall talking about??"

"Ohh, we really must be getting back to the rounds. Its been lovely seeing you, DJ," Moon said, taking your shoulders and steering you away. DJMM waved goodbye as you and Moon left the arcade.

"Yall weren't making fun of me, were you?" you questioned.

"My dove, I would never." Moon pat your shoulder. "DJMM is far too sweet for such things anyways."

"He is a nice guy. I feel silly now, but I was actually really scared of him when I first started working here," you admitted.

"Why were you scared of him??"

"He's as big as my house! And he's got all those legs, ya know? Like a spider but big enough to crush you." You shivered.

"Not a fan of spiders, hmm?" Moon got a worrying look in his eye.

You squinted at Moon. "What's that fuckin look for. What are you planning? Gonna fill my house with spiders??" You took a step back from Moon, angling your flashlight at him suspiciously.

"Well, it's just that I just forgot to mention… sometimes I become possessed by the spirit of a hundred spiders," Moon said casually.

"What??"

"Oh, my… I feel the souls of the spiders with me now…" Moon started to shake and shimmy. He crouched down low, getting onto all fours. His faceplate jerked and spun. Then he started scurrying around in a frantic fashion.

You stared, somewhere between amused and terrified. Moon looked really silly, but he was also moving terrifyingly fast, and he did have very long limbs. He turned his attention to you, then began rapidly scurrying at you. You yelped and nailed him in the face with your boot before you'd even realized you'd been winding back for a kick.

Moon fell back, stunned.

"Oh shit!! Oh fuck, I'm so sorry, are you okay?!" You immediately felt guilty and rushed to help Moon up and see if he was okay.

Luckily, Moon was unharmed. You'd knocked his nightcap off, and he looked a little rattled. "Alright, I get it, you don't like spiders."

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to do that. Fight or flight man, I go either way," you sheepishly explained. "Are you okay? I didn't dislodge or damage anything did I?" You took Moon's face in your hands, giving him a thorough onceover.

Moon didn't reply. He just stared at you, expression unreadable.

Oh god, was he mad at you?? "…Moon?"

"Everything is fine." Moon very suddenly straightened up and turned away, grabbing his nightcap and pulling it back on, then resumed walking. "Back to work."

"Oh, uh okay??" You hurried to catch up with Moon. "You sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine, darling. Don't worry," Moon assured.

"Good." You relaxed. Then, you realized something and stopped in your tracks. "Hey!!"

Moon looked at you quizzically, head tilted.

"You said you couldn't lie. Unless you really actually are occasionally possessed by the souls of a hundred spiders??"

"I'm not. I was just teasing you." Moon rolled his eyes. "I was lying when I said that I can’t lie."

You stared at him, baffled. "Wha-"

Moon grinned. "I can lie. Sun cannot."

"How do I know that's not a lie??"

"You can ask Sun," Moon said.

"Right. One of you always tells the truth and the other only tells lies?" You rolled your eyes. "That's like, one of the easiest riddles there is."

"I'm surprised you honestly believed me at face value when I said I can't lie," Moon teased.

"Well maybe quit being so open and honest and I wouldn't believe you so easily."

You went back and forth with Moon for the rest of your rounds, until you made it to rock-star row. Chica and Monty were standing in the hall chatting when you rounded the corner with Moon.

"Hey guys!" You waved at Chica and Monty.

"Woah, is that nighttime guy?!" Monty yelled.

"Moony!!" Chica hurried over, followed closely by Monty. "It's been so long! How've you been?!"

"Better. My bug is… tentatively fixed. I'm being supervised for a while by Y/N here," Moon said quietly, stepping behind you slightly as he pat your shoulder.

"I'm glad you're finally out and about again! This means we can come visit you in the daycare again, right? How's Sunny doing?? Can we turn some lights on and say hi?" Chica asked.

"Sun is back in the daycare," Moon said.

Upon seeing Chica and Monty exchange confused looks, you explained.

"In order to fix Moon's bug they basically had to separate Sun and Moon into two animatronics. That happened last night. So far things seem to be going fine."

"Double daycare dudes?" Monty let out a low whistle. "Welcome back, I guess. Do you still do that creepy ‘fly around the rafters’ thing?"

"My suspension cable was limited to daycare only when I was temporarily dismissed," Moon said.

"Suspension cable…" A few things clicked into place for you, concerning the first night you'd met Moon.

“I think that’s probably for the best.” Monty huffed.

The animatronics chatted and gossiped about how rude Vanessa was while you checked the cameras on your watch. Moon gradually shifted to stand next to you instead of behind you, and by the time Chica and Monty left to go back to their rooms, Moon almost looked a little disappointed to see them go.

“I bet it’s nice getting to see everyone again,” you commented as you continued on your way.

“Yeah… better than I thought it’d be.” Moon looked thoughtful. “I don’t miss having to hear about Vanessa, though.”

“I’ve met her once for like five seconds so I can’t say much.” You shrugged.

“You aren’t missing much. She’s very negative and cynical.” Moon rolled his eyes. “She’s short with everyone, so don’t mind her too much.”

“Right.”

When you and Moon returned to the daycare, Sun was waiting for you by the entrance.

"You were gone for so looong!" Sun cried.

"It was only a couple hours," you said, giving Sun a hug.

Sun happily returned the hug, lifting you off your feet. "I'm not used to being alone, it's far too quiet."

"Well we're back now, sunflower," you said, giving Sun's back a pat. When you lowered your arms, Sun didn't let you go. In fact, he was hugging you rather tightly. "You can set me down now, Sunny."

"Oh! I'm sorry." Sun quickly set you down.

"So, I guess I'm gonna see you guys during the day tomorrow. Management has me supervising during Moon's shift," you said.

"Yes, naptime. It's been… a while." Moon looked nervous.

"A year, right?" you remembered. When Moon nodded, you continued. "I'm sure Sun can help out. I probably won't be too much help. I'm just gonna hang out at that security desk and keep an eye out."

Sun and Moon shared a brief look.

"If you say so," Moon said.

You squinted suspiciously, suspecting tomfoolery. Before you could question either of them, Sun loudly declared that it was time for a game of tag. He did so by tapping you on the shoulder, exclaiming 'YOU'RE IT' and then promptly fleeing.

"Hey!!" You tried to swat at him as he fled, but Sun was very fast. You quickly turned to Moon, but he had already hooked himself onto his suspension cable and was ascending towards the rafters. You jumped for his legs, but couldn't reach him in time. "No fair!!"

Moon just chuckled and flew away.

You huffed and turned your attention back to Sun, who was dancing around tauntingly on the other end of the ball pit. You ran across the bridge, but Sun leapt clear across to the other side before you could reach him.

"Alright, this is unfair." You folded your arms.

Sun kept up his little dance, grinning at you from across the ball pit. Moon hung in the air behind him, also grinning at you.

You reached down and picked up a green plastic ball from the pit. You hurled it at Sun, who was closer, nailing him right in the head.

"Tag!" you declared triumphantly, then ran off.

"Wha-?!" Sun stood frozen in shock.

Moon laughed loudly, then quickly zipped up towards the rafters when Sun turned on him.

You took this moment of distraction to attempt to hide, quickly scurrying into one of the little plastic play houses. You closed the tiny red door behind you and tucked yourself away into the corner, settling in and trying to breathe as quietly as possible.

You could hear Sun yelling at Moon outside. It sounded like Sun was also moving around looking for you. You held your breath as you heard him walk close to your hiding spot.

"After this round I'm implementing a 'no flying allowed' rule," Sun declared. He moved along past your hiding spot.

You grinned and relaxed, feeling very pleased with yourself.

"Hmm… If I were Y/N, where would I be…" Sun hummed as he walked around. "Ah! I know."

You went still again, hoping he hadn't heard you.

"…What's a witch's favorite subject in school?" Sun asked loudly.

"Ugh," Moon exclaimed from somewhere far away.

"Spelling!" Sun said.

You snorted, then quickly put a hand over your mouth. You were too late though, Sun's footsteps hurried towards your hiding spot, and then a moment later there was a knock at the little plastic door.

"Hellooo?" Sun said from outside. "Anyone home??"

"Nope, no one here," you said.

"Ah, perfect! That means I'm free to rob the place!" Sun threw the door open. He grinned at you before grabbing your legs and pulling you out of the house. "Wow, what a score! I'm rich beyond belief!!"

"Oh, hush." You laughed. Your face felt warm.

Sun booped your nose. "You're it."

"You wanna help me get Moon?" you whispered.

Sun smiled and giggled excitedly. "I sure do!!"

"My plan is simple. You ready?"

Sun nodded enthusiastically.

After filling Sun in, you gave him a thumbs up and a wink, and he winked back. He went one way around a play structure and you went the other.

Moon was in sight, dangling high up above the ball pit. You grabbed a ball and tried throwing it at him, but he was expecting that, and quickly swung out of the way.

"Go get Sun. You can't catch me," Moon said.

"I really have no idea where Sun is," you lied. "Plus I really wanna tag you for being a stinker." You chucked another ball at him.

Moon chuckled. "Round isn't over until there's been one more tag. Good luck, twerp."

"I don't need luck. All I need is a little… boost!" You snapped your fingers.

Sun rolled out of hiding, grabbing you up and spinning around once before launching you up towards Moon.

"TAG!" You yelled, whacking a baffled Moon as you sailed past him. Sun cheered from below.

Then you started to fall, and realized all at once that you probably should have thought this plan through a little more.

Luckily you were heading towards the ball pit. Before you landed, however, Moon smoothly caught you and swung across the ball pit, setting you down on the bridge spanning the width of the pit. He landed beside to you, keeping a hand up next to you in case you required steadying.

"Nice catch," you said breathlessly, heart still pumping.

Moon grinned at you.

"…What?" You squinted at him.

"Tag." Moon pat you on the head, then dove backwards into the ball pit.

"FUCK," you swore, then slapped a hand over your mouth. "Shoot. Sorry."

"No swearing in the daycare."

You jumped harshly, realizing Sun was right behind you. You lost your footing and nearly fell into the ball pit yourself, but Sun caught you by the arm.

"Woah! Thanks, Sunny." You laughed lightly as Sun pulled you back onto the bridge. He didn't let go of your arm, probably trying to be sure you wouldn't fall over. You realized your opportunity and quickly poked Sun in the center of his faceplate. "Boop! You're it."

Sun looked surprised. He let go of your arm and raised the hand to his face.

You used his surprise to your advantage and ran off.

"Hey!! Get back here, you!" Sun seemed to snap out of it, and he smiled as he gave chase.

You played tag until you got tired, which didn't take much longer. You took a short break to catch your breath and check the cameras. Then it was time to get back to work, much to Sun's displeasure. He pouted and moped as you and Moon left the daycare once more. Moon promised to be back shortly, and you promised to see him when you came in for your two hour shift.

The hours passed quickly, and soon it was time to clock out. Moon insisted on walking you to the exit, which you ended up being grateful for, because you'd almost forgotten to give him the phone you'd bought for him on your way here.

"Now you and Sun can both spam me all day long," you said.

"More accurately, Sun can spam both of us." Moon rolled his eyes.

"Oh yeah, where do you go when Sun's running the daycare?" you asked curiously.

"I just hang out in our room."

"Oh, okay. Well now you can text me if you get bored." You smiled.

"Will do. Get home safe," Moon said.

"Will do. Good night, deputy." You gave Moon a little salute and a smile, then saw yourself out to your car.

~~~

Being here in the middle of the day was… weird. Really weird.

There were kids running all around, families packed in the halls, and all the lights were on. It was so noisy. Beyond the chatter and laughter was overhead music, the distant sound of arcade games, and different staff bots spouting short little messages to anyone around them. You spied a map bot shoving maps at people left and right. A toddler seemed absolutely enamored with a wet floor sign bot, who swiveled back and forth, much to the child's delight.

You clocked in and made it to the daycare. You could hear delighted screams and laughter as you neared. You politely waved at a pair of parents seated at a table outside the daycare, enjoying lunch.

You stepped into the daycare. You were initially confused when you didn't see any kids, but then you spotted Sun standing by the wall, hands over his eyes and counting loudly, and quickly realized you'd walked in on the middle of a game of hide and seek. You quietly shuffled over to the security desk and took a seat at the cushioned office chair. There was a monitor on the desk, displaying live footage from the camera at the daycare's entrance from under a fine layer of dust. You could keep an eye on the entire daycare from here, it seemed.

Sun finished counting, and you watched as he began to slink around the room, loudly humming and making a ruckus as he went. You could hear a lot of giggling, and spied a few kids from your vantage point at the desk. One was hidden in the end of a slide, and put a finger to her lips when you made eye contact. You smiled and gave the kid a wink.

Moon sent you a text. 'Welcome to work'

You looked up at the room, trying to locate Moon. You didn't see him anywhere. 'R u hiding with the kids?'

'No. Look up'

You leaned back in your chair and looked straight up. Moon waved at you from the rafters where he was perched in the shadows.

You smiled at Moon. 'What are you, a gargoyle?'

Moon rolled his eyes. 'I'm not allowed near the kids unless you're here to supervise'

'Well I'm here now'

'Nervous'

'Do you feel… murder-y?' You weren't sure how else to word the question.

'No. I haven't felt… out of control since the separation' Moon replied.

'That's good. Did you feel okay when I accidentally swore last night?' you asked.

'Disappointed, but otherwise fine'

'Ouch'

'Rule-breaker'

You looked back up and stuck your tongue out at Moon. Moon grinned at you.

You turned your attention back to Sun, who had found a good number of kids by now. All the kids he'd found sat together on the playmats, watching and giggling as Sun wandered around, checking under stuffed animals and behind tiny kid chairs. He had yet to find the kid in the slide, who had scooted back a ways so you could now only see the tips of her shoes.

You typed out another text to Moon after watching Sun round up a few more kids. 'Hey, does Sun have those x-ray eyes?? Like the ones Roxanne apparently has?'

'No. Not anymore, at least. When we shared the same body we could sometimes access features made for the other. He's mad he can't use my night vision anymore. But we both know every inch of this daycare inside and out, besides the desk of course, so it's not like he needs it anyways'

'What's wrong with the desk? Yall scared of staplers or something?' You grabbed a stapler up off the desk and waggled it tauntingly at Moon.

Moon rolled his eyes at you. 'We're not allowed behind the desk. Authorized security personnel only'

'Ah, so that's why it's so dusty back here' You dragged a finger over the top of the monitor, wiping off a decent layer of dust.

"Ah hah! There you are!!" Sun cried.

You looked back over to see Sun had found the girl hiding in the slide, who shrieked and giggled as Sun spun her around and tossed her up in the air. He carried her over to where all the other kids were sitting and smoothly set her down.

Sun clapped his hands together and beamed at the kids. "That's everyone! Fantastic job, I thought that was very fun! Did everyone have fun?"

The kids answered in a mis-matched chorus of 'yeah's and cheers.

"That's good! Now listen up everyone, I've got a very special surprise for you today." Sun crouched down and leaned in close to the group of children. "I've got two very special friends to introduce you to. Some of you might remember one of my friends from a long time ago… but they're both very happy to see you all! Are you ready?"

The kids all nodded and yelled excitedly.

Sun sprang up and did a little spin. "Then without further ado, let me introduce to you, Moon and Y/N!! Come on over, friends!"

"Oh, uh…" You awkwardly stood up from the chair. You glanced at Moon, who looked even more nervous as he slowly descended from the rafters. You steeled your nerves and took Moon's arm. "Hey, everyone!"

"Hey it's Moon guy, Moony guy is back!" one of the kids yelled. A few others pointed excitedly at Moon. Several other kids looked confused or bored.

You walked with Moon over to the group of kids. "Hello. I'm Y/N, I'm good friends with Sun and Moon here."

Sun swept both you and Moon up in a hug. "That's right!!" Sun exclaimed, then set you both down. "Moon is going to look after you during naptime! And then once naptime is over, it'll be snack time! How does that sound?"

The kids were extremely enthusiastic about snack time, several of them unable to remain seated and jumping for joy.

"Mister Moon, where'd you go?" asked the kid who'd first yelled about Moon being back. He had an unfortunate yet adorable bowl cut and was one of the kids who'd jumped at the mention of snacks.

"I… was on a quest, to rescue a poor village from a mean dragon," Moon explained.

Another kid gasped. "Just like in Dragon Castle!!"

Moon smiled. "That's right. But I'm back now to read to you more stories from Dragon Castle, and I also have new stories I've collected on my quest."

Several kids cheered.

"What's Dragon Castle??" another kid yelled.

"A book of stories from another world! A world full of fantasy, knights, dragons, and clever little children much like yourselves," Moon exclaimed. He pulled out an almost comically large book, the leather worn and the edges of the pages a shimmering gold.

All the kids 'ooh'ed and 'ahh'ed and scrambled closer to look at the book.

"Would you all like to hear a story before naptime?" Moon asked.

He was met with enthusiasm and excitement from the kids.

One of the kids, the girl who'd been hiding in the slide, tapped at your leg. "Who are you supposed to be?"

"I'm Y/N," you said.

"But… who are you supposed to be??" the girl asked again.

"Uh…" Damn, what a question. You didn't think you had the answer to that one figured out yet. You were just doing your best to get by.

Sun jumped in with an answer before you had time to spiral too heavily. "Y/N is a security guard here at the pizza-plex! That means they're sort of like a knight who guards the kingdom!"

"You're a knight!!" The girl gasped happily. "That's great because I'm a princess. So you have to do what I say!"

"Oh," you laughed. "But of course, your highness." You put a fist over your heart and knelt before the kid.

The girl giggled happily at this. Sun smiled at you fondly.

"Alright, let's all get ready for naptime so I can read you a story," Moon said. "Everyone grab your blankets and pillows and settle in!"

The kids quickly stampeded to the cubbies and the neat row of treasure boxes next to the cubbies, pulling out blankets and pillows, many of which were sporting the iconography of the glamrocks. The self proclaimed princess ordered you around, telling you to grab her blanket and pillow, no not that one, that one, with the Roxy face on it, lay it right here, tuck her in just so. You dutifully followed her commands, to her absolute delight.

"Is everyone ready?" Moon asked, sitting cross legged in front of the cozy crowd.

The kids were ready, so Moon cracked open the massive book and turned a few pages, then began to read.

"Once upon a time, in a kingdom by the seaside, there was a beautiful princess born in the kingdom's hospital. At the same time, another baby girl was born, just as beautiful, who was just a pauper. As well as sharing the same birthday, the two girls shared the same nurse as well. The king and queen were delighted to welcome their baby girl into the world, but in their excitement, they did not notice when the silly nurse accidentally mixed the two babies up! The princess and the pauper switched cribs, and the pauper was taken to the castle with the king and queen, while the princess was taken to a little farm by the edge of the sea."

What started out being a generic retelling of the classic 'princess and the pauper' story ended up being a deceptively engaging narrative about how your upbringing is more important than what you're born as, and your choices and character are even more so important. There was even a war with the kingdom under the sea, but the girl born a princess, who'd grown up by the sea and had made fast friends with the sea princess, was able to carry secret messages between the pauper girl who'd become a princess and the sea princess to stop the war and bring peace to the land. The three girls became fast friends and had several more adventures together.

You were especially engaged with Moon's reading. Sun was right, he did do very skilled (and at times, very silly) voices for all the characters. You found yourself laughing and cheering and exclaiming along with the kids. Moon would cast a teasing look your way when you did so, but you just stuck your tongue out at him.

Soon enough, story time was over, and then it was time for a nap. The lights in the daycare dimmed and Moon sung a quiet lullaby until every child had fallen fast asleep. Several kids had crawled up into his lap and were sleeping on him soundly. Moon carefully reached to his side to pull a loose blanket up over one of the kids in his lap, gently tucking them in. Moon looked over the kids with one of the happiest, most content expressions you'd ever seen.

You tip-toed over to Sun while Moon looked over the kids, quietly humming lullabies. Sun was sitting a ways away, also looking content.

"He was so worried the kids would be scared of him," Sun whispered. "I told him he'd do fine. He should really listen to me more often."

You chuckled. "He's a natural. You both are."

"So are you, dear." Sun smiled at you and bumped his shoulder with yours.

"Naw, I'm just… goofing around. Doing my best not to swear."

"Sally has really taken a liking to you," Sun pointed out.

"Oh, the princess? Yeah, you know, it's not too hard to play along. It's just silly fun."

"Not a lot of people like to have silly fun." Sun started idly playing with the strings of your hoodie. It was an older hoodie, but Moon had yet to return the one you'd lent him, so you were wearing this one as backup for now.

"Who doesn't like having silly fun??"

"People like Vanessa." Sun rolled his eyes. "Did you know she hasn't come to visit me and Moon once her entire time working here? She used to do maintenance work, but other than mandatory visits, she's never come into the daycare. Moon has no shortage of complaints himself, he used to do security shifts with her."

"I set the bar too high for night guards everywhere, I get it," you joked. "No other knight in the kingdom has armor as shiny as mine!"

Sun giggled. "You certainly brighten my day, brave knight."

You smiled. "Ahh, hush."

Sun tied your hoodie strings into a bow. "But what if I like giving you compliments?"

"I just don't really know how to respond." You sheepishly looked down at Sun's hands, focusing on them instead of his face as he continued to play with your hoodie strings.

"You make me so happy. I want to make you happy, too," Sun said softly.

You were speechless for a moment. You knew your face was hot, you could feel it, but you hoped the dim lighting hid it well enough. "You don't have to do that. I don't expect anything back when I'm nice to yall."

"I know, sunshine. But I want to." Sun's hands dropped your hoodie strings. He set a finger under your chin and gently lifted your face to meet his gaze. "You have such a good heart. You're nice to look at. You're easy to talk to, and even easier to trust."

Oh jeez. Oh man. Oh gosh. "See, what am I supposed to say to all that?" you asked, laughing a little.

"Nothing." Sun smiled. "You're just very cute when you're all flustered."

"Hush!" You playfully pushed him back and crossed your arms. "I suddenly have to go elsewhere. I'm not flustered, you're flustered." You hurried off to the security desk and sat down in the chair, tugging your hat down to cover your face more. You could hear Sun giggling, and did your best not to get too enamored with the soft melodic sound.

This was a mess. You were in trouble. These guys were too damn sweet, and you weren't sure what to do. You couldn't do anything, obviously. Sun and Moon were your friends, who you worked with. You shouldn't date people who you work with, you'd learned that the hard way.

You took in a deep breath as you started to remember things you'd rather stay forgotten. You let the air out slowly and resigned yourself to just wait these feelings out.

With enough time, the feelings would fade.

Right?

euphoric | eren jaeger (3)

-> pairing: eren jaeger x f!reader

-> wc: 3.3k

-> warnings: swearing, fluff kinda, angst

it had been a week since you’d last seen eren, and you had just finished your exams. you plopped down onto your bed, exhausted but yet relieved that you had finished the tests. you had spent a large portion of the past couple weeks prepping for this and you really hoped that you had gotten a good grade to bring the ones you currently had to a better mark.

now that you were finally done, you had time to relax and focus on yourself. you had planned to spend time with friends to make up for some of the time that you had lost while drowning yourself in your studies. you picked up your phone, lazily scrolling through your socials and texts messages.

you and eren had been talking quite a lot since he had been at your house. the flirty texts back and fourth, it almost seemed too good. it felt unreal, the way that you and him seemed to suddenly jump into what was almost a relationship. you didn’t question it though, you were happy. although he had a reputation, it didn’t bother you because you knew how he felt for you and how you felt for him, you weren’t intimidated at all.

“y/n? earth to y/n!” sasha brought you out of your trance while waving her hand in your face.

“oh, fuck, yeah sash, what’s up?” you smiled sheepishly, you had been spacing out a lot recently and it did not go unnoticed by her.

“you keep spacing out,” she chuckles as she opens the fridge, grabbing herself some strawberries. “something on your mind?” she knew you too well.

“oh, it’s nothing,” you laughed nervously as you scratched the back of your head. you had pretty much given yourself away and she gave you a look. “okay, fine. i was thinking about eren, and my situation with him.”

“what about it?”

“well, it’s just that it feels too good to be true, you know? i just don’t want something to happen and then i get heartbroken once again.” you told her, placing your phone down and playing with your fingers in the process; it was a habit of yours.

“what are you worrying about? you’re not seeing anyone other than eren and i can assure you that he isn’t seeing anyone else either.” she responds with a mouth full of fruit which earned a laugh out of you. sasha is very protective of you, you knew that. and if eren did anything to mess with you or hurt your feelings, she would ruin him.

“yeah, but he’s had history with girls and…” you trailed off, not knowing how to go about this. you didn’t know why it was hard to talk about because sasha was the one who had told you about his previous flings with other girls in the past. it shouldn’t bother you, but now talking with sasha about it, it made you feel weird.

“and?” she asks as she placed the food back into the fridge before coming down and sitting across from you at your shared table. sasha could sense that there was uneasiness going on and she didn’t want to push you. “why don’t you talk to him? you could maybe set boundaries or even establish your relationship together so you won’t have anything to worry about.”

“yeah,” sasha’s words were making you feel better, she always knew what to do. “i’ll text him and we can maybe meet somewhere to talk.” you felt a bit better, knowing that you’d soon confirm the relationship between the two of you. she smiled at you, and told you to text him so you could figure out plans. you thanked her and made your way to your room opening eren’s contact number and pressing his number.

it rang a few times before it went to voicemail. voicemail? maybe he’s busy? other thoughts began pouring into your head, but you immediately shut them down. you trusted eren, he wouldn’t do anything to hurt you. after the voicemail operator stopped talking, you left him a message.

“hey eren, you’re probably busy right now but i just wanted to see if you were available later today so we could talk. it’s nothing bad though, i also just miss you. get back to me when you can.”

you shut off your phone, placing it beside you as you reached for your computer to watch some anime that you had missed while being so preoccupied with your studying. occasionally you would look over to your phone to see if he got back to you, but he hadn’t.

you were about halfway done with watching the 3rd episode of your show when you heard your phone buzz. you reached for your phone embarrassingly fast to see the texts.

eren jaeger

hey i’m so sorry i just saw u called

i was napping but yeah we definitely can talk later

what time are u free

you chuckled quietly and felt somewhat relieved that he was at home. you quickly responded to him with ideas.

y/n

oh dw about it

i’m free whenever i don’t really have much to do

eren jaeger

we can go to a cafe if u wanna and chat there

i need food anyways lol

y/n

ok lol we can go to the cafe downtown if that works

1:30?

eren jaeger

ok baby

i’ll see u then :)

even though it was a small text interaction between the two of you, it left your heart fluttering. it was around 12:45 so you had time to change into something more presentable but still comfortable for your liking. you decided that you would go early because you had to go to the store and buy some more shampoo and conditioner because you had just used the last bit of it this morning.

when you walked out of your room, sasha was watching tv while texting someone who you assumed to be niccolo. she had seen him a few times the past week and you thought what they had was adorable. she would go over those nights and he would have a full course meal already prepared for her. imagine being in a relationship with a chef, that would be amazing.

“hey sash?” you asked as you slipped on your shoes, placing your hand on the door handle while reaching for your car keys.

“hm?” she looked up from her phone, and put two and two together. “you’re gonna talk to him?”

“yeah, i’ll be back later. i need to grab some stuff from the store though, text me if you need anything, ‘kay?” you smiled at her as you walked through the door. you heard her yell okay and that she’d text you if she needed something later. you made your way down to the entrance of your apartment complex and got into your car. you felt a bit tense, but you knew you were overreacting and that everything would be fine.

you played your playlist while you drove, it calmed you down a bit more and you parked in the parking lot of the supermarket which was a five minute walk away from the cafe that you and eren had agreed to meet at. it was around 1:00 and you wanted to make the trip to the store quickly, double checking your phone to see if there was anything that sasha wanted. she hadn’t texted, so you went inside and went to find your favorite hair products. you grabbed the two that you liked, and made your way towards the front of the store to check out before you bumped into someone.

“y/n?” you looked up and saw jean standing in front of you.

“oh, hi!” you backed up to meet his eyes, feeling embarrassed that you had not been watching where you were going. “i’m so sorry, i wasn’t paying attention.”

“no worries, what’re you up to?”

“oh nothing, i was just getting some stuff and i’m supposed to be meeting eren in a few.” you responded, eying the isles to see if there was anything else that you needed.

“that’s nice,” he said with a smile. “are you guys together yet?” the word yet made you feel jittery, it meant that eren had talked about the possibility of a relationship with jean, someone who he always is butting heads with.

“actually, that’s what i was going to talk to him about…” you laughed sheepishly, trying not to seem to eager about it. “what’re you doing?”

“i was just getting some shit for connie because he wants something good tonight. i swear, hanging around sasha has made him a food monster like her. it’s crazy.” you couldn’t help but giggle at his remark. connie and sasha’s friendship was truly funny.

“well, have fun with that! i have to go because i don’t want to be late but we should all hangout again! that was fun!” you replied as you looked at your phone to check the time, which you had 15 minutes so it was perfect.

“yeah, if i don’t have to third wheel again.” you felt your face heat up at the comment. “nah, i’m playing. have fun!” he waves goodbye as he makes his way to the food section of the store and you walked towards the register.

after you finished paying, you made your way back to your car and placed your bag in the passenger seat. you had enough time to walk over to the cafe, and plus, you felt like you needed some exercise.

you had an idea of what you wanted to say to eren. it was just that you wanted to confirm your relationship and make it exclusive, and after hearing the comment jean made, you knew that he felt the same way about it. it wasn’t long before you arrived in front of the cafe and you went into the back to where the seats were. you made a order for your favorite baked treat and sat down at a two seated table while you waited for eren. you checked your phone, scrolling through tik tok and instagram when you felt two hands on your shoulders, causing you to jolt in surprise.

“hi baby,” he whispered into your ear before giving you a quick peck on the cheek.

“hi eren,” you laughed, placing your phone down onto the table.

“what’s up?” he asked as he made his way over to the seat in front of you. he was wearing a black crewneck with gray sweatpants and vans, hair in a messy bun as per usual.

“nothing, i just missed you. are you gonna get something to eat?” you asked, looking over to the register.

“i placed an order and then i came over to you, how’ve you been? i haven’t seen you for a bit.”

“i’ve been good, i’m really glad that my exams are over. i now have time to relax,” you smiled at him as you scooted your chair closer to the table. you had truly been overwhelmed with all the studying and now you felt relieved that you now had free time to do what you wanted.

“and to spend some time with me, right?” he teased as he gave you a playful smile. the little things that he does pulled on your heartstrings.

“no.” he gasped, placing his hand over his chest. “of course, idiot.”

“good,” he chuckled. “you know you love me.”

“you knew that already!” you whined as you gave him a cheeky smile. you and eren both caught up with each others lives. he told you that armin and annie had gotten together, and how mikasa was starting to see jean but that she also wanted to pursue with school so she didn’t want many distractions. you told him about how sasha and niccolo had been spending a lot of time together and how you thought they were perfect for each other. your food was brought to you by one of the employees and you both thanked them as you began to eat.

“so, what’d you wanna talk about?” he asked as he took a bite into his muffin with his coffee in the other hand.

“i just wanted to know if we were exclusive and stuff…” you couldn’t finish your sentence before eren started to stifle a laugh.

“i thought it was obvious,” he swallowed his food before continuing to talk. “we’re exclusive, i’m not seeing or talking to anyone else besides you. no one else interests me besides you.”

“oh, i guess i’m just blind,” you felt relieved at him saying that, you were worried for no reason. “i was just nervous because sasha told me about historia and i-”

“historia?” he interrupts you. “what’d she say?”

“just that you guys were fuck buddies in the past and that you’re over now and all that stuff,” you responded, trying to sound as nonchalant as you could. you didn’t want him to notice that it was a touchy subject. he knew that you had bad experiences with relationships in the past but you were never one to really be insecure of past relationships that your partner had.

“i see, we don’t really talk anymore, so you had nothing to worry about.”

“okay, go- ” before you could finish your sentence, you heard someones voice so you turned your head.

“eren?”

a blonde girl with blue eyes, shorter than you stood between you and eren at the table. you felt your stomach twist as you put the pieces together. you weren’t sure if you had met her before or not, but she looked just like the girl that you were just speaking about.

“historia?” eren choked on his coffee, looking over to meet her eyes. you could tell that he was shocked and slightly uncomfortable. had she heard your conversation?

“oh my god, what a coincidence seeing you here! how have you been?” she smiled, maintaining eye contact with him before he looked back towards you.

“‘m fine, how have you been?” it was obvious that he was only trying to be polite but for some reason, her voice annoyed the shit out of you.

“i’ve been good!” she looks over to you and gives you a look before smiling and bringing her hand out. “we should-”

“no.”

“okay, you must be y/n? i’ve heard so much about you!” her comment made you feel uncomfortable, where had she heard about you from?

“uh, hi!” you smiled at her and shook her hand. you had to at least be nice even though you felt like there was something weird going on, it was clear that you and eren were on a date and she had come over to talk. “where’d you hear about me from?”

“eren talks about you all the time!” talks? didn’t he just say-

“we haven’t talked in months.” eren interrupts, annoyance seeping through his voice.

“that doesn’t matter!” she looked back over to eren with a huge smile on her face, as if she was waiting for him to show her any sort of attention. “he would talk about how much he cared about you when we would hang out and-”

“enough, historia.” eren said, giving her a stern look before he looked over to you. “we’re kinda busy right now.” you stayed silent, you didn’t know what to feel but you weren’t about to let historia have her way right now. although you didn’t know her too well, you didn’t like the way she was acting.

“but i was just coming over to say hi! i haven’t met her before, i was trying to be nice!” you lost it, she was clearly trying to get at something here. she seemed like a nice person but the impression she was giving you right now was not good.

“listen, historia.” eren looked at you, his face tense. he had no idea what you were about to say but he could tell that you were beginning to get pissed off. “eren and i are on a date right now, and as much as i appreciate meeting you and all, i wanna spend some time with him because i haven’t seen him in a while.” she stood there, dumbfounded as you continued to speak to her. “so maybe if we could talk and get to know each other another time, that’d be great!”

“oh, uh, yeah of course!” she said as she stepped away. “i guess i’ll catch you later then. bye eren, bye y/n!” she smiled as she walked away and every ounce in your body told you that it was the fakest smile you had ever seen. you watched her walk away before letting out a sigh. it definitely did not seem that she was in a relationship with that ymir girl because she was clearly trying to talk to eren more, but who were you to say?

you and eren both sat there in silence before anyone said anything.

“i’m so-” you began before eren interrupted you once again.

“don’t. she’s hella annoying. that’s why i cut her off.” eren said as he looked over at you. he could tell you were uncomfortable and wanted to leave. “hey are you okay?”

“i’m fine, eren.” you snapped, face softening after you realized how mean you sounded. “i’m sorry, she just really annoyed me right there.”

“no, i get it. is there anything i can do?” he asked as you began to stand up from your chair in which he did as well. you picked up your trash and brought it to the trashcan, trying to steady your heartbeat. you were a bit rude to her but she was being rude too, was she? “do you wanna go home?”

“yeah.” he nodded his head in response and reached his hand out for you to hold. you interlocked your fingers with his as you both walked out. you both walked in silence, thinking about the interaction that had just taken place. you felt bad. you were a bitch to her but she was being annoying so what were you supposed to do? “did you drive?”

“hm? oh, no i didn’t. i live pretty close so i can walk home.”

“i drove, so if you want a ride i can give you one,” you looked up at him with a smile. eren’s presence calmed you down, and he noticed that too.

“yeah, i’d like that.” eren leaned down and gave you a quick kiss on your head, squeezing your hand in the process. you continued to walk back to the supermarket to where your car was parked and made your way into the vehicle. he opened the passenger side and saw the bag that you had gotten earlier.

“you can just put that bag in the back, it has my shampoo since you used almost all of it when you were over,” you teased as you started the car. he smirked before sitting down next to you and putting on his seatbelt.

“you know how to get to my apartment right?” you gave him a playful look before backing out of your parking spot. “just messing with you.”

eren’s place wasn’t that far so it took you a few minutes to get there. you pulled into a spot and waiting for him to get out of the car after exchanging a kiss and just as he was about to get out of the car before he stopped and looked over to you.

“what’s up?” you smiled, he looked like a lost puppy.

“do you wanna stay over for a bit? we can chill and watch something…” he trailed off once he heard your laughter.

“sure,” you smiled and got out of the car and came over to the side that he was on. you poked your finger into his chest playfully, “you’re so needy!”

“needy, yeah?” he pulled you into a hug with your face buried into his chest, the smell of his cologne fogging your brain. “let’s see who’s gonna be needy later.”

a/n: im so sorry that this took so long i’ve been super busy but i will def try to upload more consistently these upcoming weeks!! this hasn't been edited cuz im tired rn but i will look over it later tonight if there is anything.

A Day Off

Karasuno x F!Reader

(Not including the side characters sorry.)

Warnings: suggestive, fluff, language

A/N: This is part 4, and I still have so much in mind I- Well anyway, this is another long one.

It was just another regular, boring day in school. Doing projects and so much work. It was tiring to say the least.

It’s a Friday. The team is supposed to have a Saturday practice.

You’re in your last class, 8 minutes before the dismissal bell sounds. Everyone is chatting and on their phones.

You get a notification. “I wonder who it is” you think to yourself.

You decide to check it.

-1 Message from Captain ✨-

“Oh, it’s Daichi”

Captain ✨: Y/N, can you head to the gym early? You don’t have to, but I asked everyone to since I have an announcement.

Y/N: I’ll try. My teacher likes me so I’m sure she’ll let me go if I tell her why.

Captain ✨: Good! See you in a few :)

Y/N: See ya! 😊

-Captain ✨ and Y/N are offline-

As you thought, your teacher was more than happy to let you go a little early.

You head to the gym once again, curious as to what Daichi has to say. On your way, you spot Asahi, who was buying water from a vending machine.

Walking up next to him, you say, “Asahi! Do you wanna walk together?”

“AH- oh. It’s just you Y/N..sorry.” He laughs, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. “But yeah, I’d love to.”

“Great! Let’s go see what Daichi wanted us for.”

Side by side you proceeded to walk to the gym, chatting along the way.

Opening the door, you notice everyone’s there. “Maybe it’s a practice match with another team later?”

The both of you head to the group.

“Okay! Now that everyone’s here I have an exciting announcement to tell you.” Daichi declared.

“What is it Captain?” Asahi questions.

“Coach told us we have a break day tomorrow! So, Suga and I decided to go to the beach in Tokyo.”

“YAY!!!” Hinata, Noya, and Tanaka exclaimed.

“Tch.” Tsukishima hissed.

“Sounds fun, but I can’t go.” Kiyoko smiled.

“Awww ok. But yay! Beach day!” You grinned.

After a while of discussing the plans for tomorrow, Daichi tells everyone to pack up clothing and everything else they needed.

~~TimeSkip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

7:00 am

It’s the day of the trip. After a long night of deciding what to bring, you hop off your bed and put everything in a [insert favorite color] bag.

Then, you get ready— getting dressed, brushing your teeth.

You had put on an nice outfit. (Pick one of these ^ ^)

Walking over to the meeting point (the front of Karasuno), you put on some music in the headphones you were wearing, humming to the song.

As you approach, you hear two voices shouting.

“I GOT HERE FIRST!!”

“NO I DID BOKE!”

You identify the voices as Hinata and Kageyama.

“SHUT IT, BOTH OF YOU!” You hear Suga yell.

They see you approaching and immediately calm down. Then the automatically blush at how cute your outfit looks on you.

“THE PRINCESS HAS APPEARED!” Noya declares.

“Hey!” You sang.

They all say hello to you. Right after that, the bus arrives.

“Y/N, Can I sit next to you?” Suga asks.

“Sure! As long as I can sit next to the window!”

“Mhm! Let’s go.”

“HEY NO FAIRRR!” Hinata complains.

The rest of the boys glare at Sugawara. But he just looks back and smirks.

“Lucky bastard...” Tsukishima mutters.

Both you and Suga sit in the back of the bus together.

On the way, you and Suga watch memes on his phone (with headphones) and laugh at them.

~~~~~~~TimeSkip of a few hours (sorry-)~~~~~~~~~~

10 am

“Everyone get up, we’re here.” Daichi exclaims.

One by one, you all get off the bus.

“Where do we put our things?” You question.

“Oh, the coaches booked us rooms in a hotel. The problem is that it’s three per room with one having four, so we have to decide who goes where.” Suga points out.

“Oooh. Well why don’t we write our names down on paper and mix them?”

“Good idea! I have a notepad in my bag so we can use that.” Suga offers.

He takes it out and writes everyone’s names on small pieces of paper. Then, he puts it in a small empty pocket on the side of his bag.

“Y/N, why don’t you draw three to see who are the first roommates?” He asks.

“Ok.”

You pull out the pieces in sets of three. Daichi writes down each room and who is in it.

Here’s the groups:

(Yes I wrote them myself but I accidentally forgot Suga lol)

“YEA! I GET TANAKABRO!” Noya approved.

“Why do I have to get Saltyshima?!” Hinata murmurs.

“Oh god, this is gonna be chaotic..” Kageyama grumbles.

“Yay! I get Captain, Asahi, and Suga!” You squeal.

Daichi, Asahi, and Suga mentally congratulate themselves for getting this opportunity.

For a second, you thought it was funny that you get a room with the third years.

“Okay, now that it’s been settled, let’s go check in and set our things in our rooms.” Daichi ordered.

You all head to the hotel and check yourselves in.

“After we get settled, get changed into your swimming outfits and we will meet in the front of the building.” Suga advises.

Walking with the third years, you go into your room. After opening the door, you notice something.

“Uhh there’s only three beds.” You say, also noting they are queen sized.

“W-what?-“ Asahi stiffens.

“Coach didn’t tell us that-“ Suga defended himself.

“I guess two of us could lay next to each other.” You shrugged.

“I suppose.” Daichi sighs.

“Daichi I’ll lay with you since you’re the closest to me right now!”

“O-okay then, if you’re alright with it.”

“Dang..” Suga says under his breath.

Once talking it out, you decided to lay with Daichi. But since it’s a queen bed, you wouldn’t be that close so even though the other two were bothered by it, it wasn’t that bad.

—After putting your things down—

“Y/N, do you mind if Suga, Asahi and I go first? It’s so we can make sure everything is in order after we change.”

“Sure! I’ll remind everyone to bring sunscreen and stuff.”

One after the other, they get changed in swim trunks and a shirt and walk out to check on the others to see if they’re doing alright.

Then, you go and change into your swimming things.

Choose one below:

When you were done changing, you put on some clothes over it. (You would take it off when getting in the water.)

You get a text from the group chat saying they were all going to the front.

Smiling to yourself, you walk down to where they said to go.

~~~~TimeSkip to when you get to the beach~~~~~~~

12 pm.

“Ok! Go put down your stuff and you’re free to go!” Daichi affirmed.

“Yes!” Everyone replies.

Everyone goes off on their own, some immediately running for the water.

“Hey Suga, I’m gonna go to the bathroom to put on sunscreen since I forgot. I’ll be right back.” You mentioned.

“Be careful.” He tells you before going to the water.

You skip your way to the closest bathroom near the beach.

Grabbing your sunscreen, you put it on while making sure it’s in every right place. Then, you take off the clothes over your swim suit and put it in the small bag you were carrying.

“Heyy.. where’s Y/N?” Hinata asked Suga, upset that he doesn’t see you.

“She went to the restroom to put on sunscreen. She’ll be back in a second.”

“Dumbass forgot to put it on.” Tsukishima commented, with Yamaguchi snickering in the background.

“Language.” Daichi warns.

After finishing what you were doing, you happily walk back.

“Sorry I had to go for a sec guys!” You apologize.

“It’s alright Y/N-“ Asahi says, suddenly tensing up and becoming flushed.

“What’s wrong Asahi?” Noya questions loudly, then he looks where he was looking. “Oh.”

The rest look away from what they were doing, and look at Noya and Asahi before looking at you.

Just then, their faces become just as red. (Noya, Tanaka and Kageyama even have nosebleeds I-)

“Y-you look nice Y/N!” Yamaguchi spoke up.

Everyone nods.

“Thank you!” You grin while getting in the water as well, a faint blush on you since you’re around several shirtless men.

The day goes really well. Everyone, even Tsukishima, had fun.

3:30 pm.

Now that everyone has gotten tired, you all decided to go back to the hotel.

“I wanna go to a restaurant! My treat of course.” You gushed.

“You don’t have to-“ Suga tries to say, before you but him off.

“I insist! Come onnnn”

“Ok, sure. Let’s do it at around 5:45 pm.”

“YESSS,” Hinata and Noya exclaim.

When you get back, you watch TikToks on your phone and vibe until the time you go to eat.

After eating at the restaurant, they all thank you as they head back to their rooms.

Today was a great day.

Ahhh this took me forever sorry (￣∀￣)

I enjoyed writing this part though

Wait wait I'm changing my question ahah: What do you think of each of the guys in class 1A (do u like them, what u think of their character, simp or no simp etc)

LOL I don’t really know what Simp means. But On the boys in Class 1A, I’m guessing you’re asking how I like them? Favorites, least faves?

I guess I’ll rank them in order of how much I like them.

14. Mineta

Duh. He hasn’t been as bad lately, but he is still to me the least interesting character in all of class 1a with the most repulsive personality.

13. Sato

I have nothing against him or any of them after Mineta. Sato is just fine. He’s nice, he bakes, and he’s strong. We just don’t have much of his personality or backstory so there’s not a lot to judge him by.

12. Koda

Koda has a little more development since we got his backstory and he saved Jirou, so he’s cool. But again, not as well developed, so harder to engage with.

11. Sero

Similar to the previous two. HE has badass moments but we don’t know him as well. His personality is kind of funny and bold and I’d like to know more of him, but we just don’t have a ton to go on.

10. Ojiro

Like the main joke with Ojiro is that he’s “normal” and “boring”. And that’s just fine. He’s the average one. But he does have a cool aesthetic and he was nice to Deku and Iida.

9. Shoji

Shoji is quiet but cool. He was a total badass saving Deku in the forest and he’s generally reliable for stealth and ass kicking. His quiet and restrained personality is all right by me.

8. Aoyama

Aoyama’s backstory is sweet and touching. His personality is well defined, he’s funny and occasionally saddening, and he comes through when he’s needed. He’s a little too extra for me to get into, but all around good stuff.

7. Kaminari

Kaminari is cute, funny and fun; he has cool powers and is good at coming through for his friends. Again, he’s not the best developed character in terms of backstory, but we know his personality well.

6. Tokoyami

Cool, dark and edgy. A real badass. his struggles with controlling dark shadow were really interesting and it’s a shame we haven’t seen that side of him for a long time.

5. Kirishima

I like Kiri, his sad backstory, his relateable insecurity, his bravery and badassery and kind, loveable dynamics with everyone. I will say I think he’s just a tad overrated by the fandom, but that’s only because the fandom’s love for him is so overwhelming it couldn’t really be realistic for any character.

4. Iida

Iida is class a’s dad and great leader. Great friend, relatable flaws, and immediately identifiable character. He’s well defined, we know what he wants, and we love him for it. He needs more development now.

3. Shoto

Now onto the obvious top 3 - the Traffic Light Trio! It’s so hard to rank them, because I love them all so much. But Shoto does come in third, partially because his competition is so great, partially because he does end up being a little flat sometimes. He often is in the position of reacting to the whackiness around him, and he hasn’t had as much development himself per se as his relationships have had. But yes, I am all on board the Todoroki train. Our lovable troubled boy.

2. Deku

Believe it or not, my first MHA love, my original fave character, the one who drew me into the show - is now in second place. I used to think he’d never fall out of it, but then he spent this entire year being an asshole and making me wanna punch him, and that eventually wore on my patience so much it knocked him down to second. But I still remember why I loved Deku originally. What makes him amazing, the embodiment of saving, and our hero.

1. Katsuki Bakugou

I have jumped on board the train. As of this year, Katsuk iis officially my favorite MHA boy, possibly character period. His development, his growth, his out there personality and complexity and layers; the way he’s only grown more and more relateable, likeable and kind. The way he’s come to help other characters grow even better. Kacchan only gets better and better as time goes on.

(If you’re asking who I want to date, the order is pretty much the same).

My Thoughts on the New MHA Opening and Ending

I have thoughts, and I will share them because oh boy if I don’t get this out I’m gonna explode

Vague Spoilers for the manga (up to chapter 258 and vigilantes) because I discuss the upcoming arcs, but I don’t discuss any major plot points in detail. Still, proceed with caution if you’re anime only

Keep in mind, this OP and ED will cover the Endeavour Agency Arc and the MVA Arc, so I will be judging them accordingly.

First, the OP

This is a good OP... in theory (that’s going to become my catchphrase for this post). It’s nice to look at and flows pretty well, but my biggest problem is that it doesn’t do it’s job. An OP is supposed to be a sort of... summary (?) of the Cour it plays for. That means any cool plot points, emotional beats, and important characters should be featured in some way, shape, or form. We’ll talk about that more later, but first let’s discuss the music.

The song is really good. I have a feeling it will continue to grow on me as I listen to it more often, but yeah my first impression is that the song sounds great. My only complaint about the music itself is that it ends kind of abruptly (I noticed this is the JT opening too). The previous openings used to have a bit of instrumental to “play us out” and lead us to the end card, but this one feels like it ends very suddenly and unnaturally.

As for the visuals...

Yeah alright I’ll admit, the visuals are stunning... in theory. I appreciate the variety in backgrounds and colours, it makes the OP really interesting to look at. This was actually one of my biggest problems with the JT Opening, it all took place on the training grounds, so there was no variety (everything was metal tubes with a blue sky, with only 3 shots set somewhere different). I appreciate the style of this OP.

But like I said, that’s only in theory, as in, through screenshots these are all pleasing to look at. The pacing of this OP is wild, and I truly don’t know who to blame for this.

That sunset shot above? It lasts approximately 12 seconds, zooming in every few to make it seem like something is happening (when in reality it’s still the same poses, angles, etc). While there’s nothing wrong with a nice, drawn out shot, it becomes irritating when compared to the pacing of the rest of this op.

At the 41 second mark, we are given the shot above. It has flowed directly from the previous sunset scene. We still have not moved away from the image of the trio (aside from the opening shot and the title card) yet we’re approaching the halfway mark of the OP.

The next shot is the MLA, which lasts about 5 seconds. Ok, perfect. Not too long, but also not short enough to be confusing. It cuts away a little fast once the dude on the far left appears, but does anyone actually know who that is? No, seriously, I’m asking. I don’t remember his name and he’s not on the wiki, so I can only assume he’s not important. Therefore, it’s not all that bad if the shot cuts away shortly after he comes into frame. The audience is able to take in the scene without having to pause...

... And then the problems start

While this shot is fine in theory, it pans up fast and cuts away quickly. You know how hard it was for me to get this screenshot? Really hard. You want to know why I struggled so much? Because, due to the timing of the cut and the way it pans upwards, it’s almost impossible to pause on Dabi’s face. I literally had to go frame by frame to get it, because he’s in shot for so little time that naturally pausing is guaranteed to miss him.

When watching this in real time (without pausing) the cut away makes you feel as if you missed something because “something was there, I just couldn’t register what because now it’s gone”. Unlike Compress, who wears a very colourful coat you can recognize the entire time, Dabi’s pants are more blended into the background.

It also doesn’t help that this shot is literally composed to draw your attention away from Dabi until the last possible second. Due to framing, your eye is naturally drawn to the brightly coloured Toga in the foreground, making it super easy to miss Dabi in the back (until, of course, his bright face appears and contrasts against the background, drawing your eye just in time for the scene to change, leaving you to wonder who or what you missed).

I know this sounds like nitpicking, but this shot is the only group shot we get of the League, and is also the start of a seriously weird trend for the villains in this OP getting the short end of the stick.

Anyways, then we get what I’ll call “The Carousel Shot” in which every Class 1A kid shows up and poses dramatically, as if they were on a carousel. It’s a lovely sequence and I really enjoy watching it but... why is it in this OP?

Seriously, this is a genuine question. Class 1A barely shows up in the Endeavour Agency Arc, and NONE of the students are in MVA. This sequence (not counting the three boys at the end) lasts 8 seconds. Why is this much time dedicated to characters who are barely in the arc? (Unless Studio Bones extends their work studies into fuller plot lines which oh my gosh please don’t do that, or if they do, do it quick).

We then get what I call the “Oh God I Blinked And Missed Everything” sequence, which lasts 3 seconds (not including the longer, moving shot of Shigaraki at the end) and features NINE INDIVIDUAL IMAGES, none of which are related to each other. Not only is this 3 images per second, but the fact that they are all unrelated means you can’t even use previous information to fill in the blanks.

What do I mean by that? Well, imagine if I show you 9 images of various pro heroes posing. If I play that in 3 seconds you’ll absolutely miss some of them, but as long as you catch some you’ll still get an idea of what I’m trying to show to you. Your brain is able to fill in the gaps that “I recognized 4 pro heroes, therefore the rest must have also been pros” even if you didn’t register every single frame.

That doesn’t work if every frame features a completely different subject. The shots in this sequence vary so widely that it’s impossible to find a through line. Some feature multiple characters, some feature one, some are closeups, some are super far away, some are character’s we know, others are characters we don’t. It’s impossible to get a solid read on what you’re being shown.

Now, again, there’s nothing wrong with these super quick shots... in theory. The problem comes from the fact that these shots are the only indicators for some of the major themes that will be explored during this Cour (like Twice’s growth and young Shigaraki).

That being said, let’s move away from criticism and talk about speculation, because hidden amongst this sequence are two... interesting images.

This All Might one is very reminiscent of the shot in Chapter 257, where Aizawa and All Might have a conversation while staring up at the stars. However, this is technically the start of the “War Arc” (or the “prologue”, if that’s what you want to call it), so this might indicate that we’re going to get farther into the series than a lot of us guessed.

(Many people suspected we’d get to that cliffhanger at the start of the season (if you read the manga you know the one), but after seeing the pacing for JT a lot of us assumed we’d be lucky to even finish Endeavour Agency. It seems we’re back to the cliffhanger now though lol).

This is another really interesting shot because it’s indicative of Shirakumo, meaning we might get to see Aizawa and Mic confront him some time this Cour (this also makes sense, since this confrontation technically happens before that All Might scene I mentioned in the previous paragraph).

But the cat specifically is a really strange addition. That cat is named Sushi and, correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Sushi is ever mentioned in the main series. I think he’s only in Vigilantes.

This might just be a little Easter Egg for Vigilante readers, but I’m personally hoping that they’ll add at least a few Vigilante shots in there to really tug at the heart strings. I’d say I want a whole Vigilante episode but I don’t think they have the time (unless they really cram MVA, which I do NOT want).

I don’t have much to say about the last bit of the OP. The action shot between the 3 boys was nice, and it follows the sort of narrative through line they established from the early shot of them sitting at the sunset. I also like the shot of Endeavour fading in to replace All Might, even if it’s very simple.

But I want to talk about an overarching problem I touched upon earlier in that villain shot: the way the villains are handled in this OP.

This is a good OP... in theory. The problem is, it doesn’t represent half the arcs in the cour! Every shot of the League is so rushed that you can barely register that they were on screen before they’re gone.

I have no idea how many Episodes Endeavour Agency will take, but I’d assume 3 (4 if you count the Christmas episode). 12 episodes for this Cour minus 3 for Endeavour Agency = 9 episodes left. If we truly do get the prologue for the War Arc (and if we assume it’s only 1 episode) that leaves us with 8 villains episodes.

8/12 episodes (aka two thirds of the Cour) will likely be about the villains. And yet they’re pushed to the background so hard in this OP.

I want to dream, and I want to believe that this OP is going to magically change when MVA starts. The song fits super well, and I can imagine like an inversion of the OP but from the Villain side! Wouldn’t that be neat? Imagine right after the “it’s alright” part Shigaraki just freaking decays the title card... oh man that would be so cool. But, alas, I highly doubt they’d do that.

Side rant, but you know what was so fun about MVA in the manga? It’s that, for 21 chapters, we leave the kids behind and the villains become our protagonists. Suddenly Shigaraki is the one we’re rooting for, suddenly we’re learning backstories for everyone, and suddenly we find ourselves just as attached to the villains as we are to the kids. It’s an inversion that’s SO RARE to find, and I think many people (myself included) were hoping it would be reflected in the OP.

A big part of being the protagonist means featuring heavily in the OP, and a lot of us just wanted the villains to get that honour, even if only once. As is, the OP still treats them as the antagonists when... really they aren’t. Not right now, at least.

So yeah, final thoughts on the OP are that it’s good, it’s just not very representative of the arcs it’s supposed to cover. If this was just for Endeavour Agency, I’d say it’s actually really cool, but if we assume that this is what will play for the Villain Arc, then it simply doesn’t do it’s job. And it makes me sad to say that because, again, this OP is really well done.

If I had to rate it? Hmmm

If Studio Bones actually grants my wish and creates a different visual for the Villain Arc (while using the same song) and then this version only plays for the Endeavour Agency Arc and the War Prologue? I’d give it an 8/10. It’s really good, but it could use a few more elements that are clearly derived from the Agency Arc (ahem, Todoroki siblings).

But if this is the OP that will play for the entire Cour? a 6.5/10. It’s nice, but it’s not representative of one of the arcs it’s going to cover. And, unlike other arcs like Pro Hero or Summer Exams, the villain Arc is so important and takes up so much time that it honestly feels like a bit of a disservice.

Now for the Ending

I want to say that I appreciate how soft this ending starts. This cour will likely feature a lot of episodes that end on... heavier themes, and I think the sight of peaceful, falling raindrops is the perfect way to let the audience process their emotions before starting the ending in earnest.

The song itself is very nice, and I like that it’s a bit slower than the more recent endings.

(Side note, but the FUNNIEST moment in the entire series is when Sir Nighteye dies because it’s so emotional and everyone is standing around his bed in his heartwrentching silence, only for the ending to come BLARING IN out of no where. If you forgot how jarringly hilarious it was, go listen to the Eri ending and tell me that’s not the funniest thing this series ever did. Anyways yeah I’m glad that’s not gonna happen this Cour).

This ending is a bit all over the place in terms of it’s visuals, but honestly I think it works. Most endings usually have a theme tying them together (all the Class 1A girls, a fantasy AU, old photographs, planning a party, etc) but this ending’s theme is a bit harder to identify.

That being said, I think it’s just supposed to show everyone going about their day. It’s calm, it’s peaceful, and it’s just very sweet to think about

I like this shot. Actually, scratch that, I like this whole sequence. I enjoy anything that allows Class 1A to chill and have fun.

Hawks is featured quite heavily in this ending which, fair. He’s pretty important in this arc.

I really love the shot where Endeavour immediately switches to Hawks, I thought that was a lot of fun, and very good symbolism on how Hawks wants to be like Endeavour. I also love all the shots of Baby Hawks, because it’s adorable.

Something about this shot is just so cute. It’s the little domestic things like waiting for a bus that make this ending feel... idk the word, real? It shows a side of the characters that we’ll never see in the episodes, but we know have to exist.

Like yes, of course the kids have to wait for the bus. We never see it, but of course there are those moments of quiet. Agh, I love it.

The villains also make an appearance and I’m very happy about that (I’d love to see more of the villains just chilling around, I think they deserve it). I kind of wish they weren’t sitting in a dark room for the sake of being edgy, since I think it would be nice to see the villains just... sort of existing, but honestly it’s still a nice shot. I also like how this shot sort of mirrors the first one with Class 1A (someone coming in while everyone else is sitting and waiting for them).

That being said, as much as I love looking at Dabi and his stupid face (affectionate)... why is Dabi the one getting the closeup?

Mind you, endings don’t need to be connected to their Cours (they can be, like the Eri one, but they don’t have to be). But this ending does seem to be connected to the arcs it intends to cover, given all the Hawks appearances, the boys wearing their work study scarves, etc.

So, I ask again, why Dabi? Out of the six League members, we learn the backstory for four of them in this arc (Shigaraki, Toga, Twice, and we very briefly learn about Spinner). The only two left out are Dabi and Compress.

I can only assume they chose Dabi because he’s constantly in contact with Hawks, and therefore that makes him important? If the OP told us anything, it’s that Bones values the Endeavour Agency Arc over the Villain Arc lol...

... Oh my gosh please tell me that’s not actually the reason Dabi is focused on here BONES WAI-

Anyways, the ending comes to a close with Hawks watching over the kids and Endeavour. The relaxing time is done, it’s time for work studies.

Overall impression? It’s great. It’s hard to screw up an ending, so as long as you have something pretty on screen, it’s wonderful.

I’ll give this a 9/10

Hogwarts AU

(AKA another shiny distraction my brain latched onto, but I’m not writing this one bc 1. it’s already too long and 2. Valentine’s AU is already my wip bad idea one-shot of the month(s) lol.)

Half ficlet/half random plot points.

4K words

First and foremost: Madara is a Hufflepuff. Seriously. The heir of the Uchiha, a well-known pure-blood Slytherin family*, has the hat on his head for half a second before it’s yelling Hufflepuff. Madara’s family is the single most important thing to him and he will protect them no matter the cost. That loyalty triumphs even a desire for power.

His house mates are terrified of him. In the first-year Madara’s mostly quiet and homesick so he’s a loner. He hasn’t done anything to deserve his reputation but he’s an Uchiha in Hufflepuff. It’s the talk of the town for weeks. That all changes in his second year when Kaito gets put in Gryffindor. Despite Kou being a former Gryffindor, he gets bullied and told he doesn’t belong in his house. Madara gets in five separate duels in the span of two weeks, manages to win despite the bullies being fourth and fifth years and one time doesn’t even wait for wands to be drawn before he starts swinging at one of them. His reputation is well-deserved now and he absolutely does not care as long as the Gryffindors are terrified he’s going to appear behind them if they so much look at his brother wrong. Kaito is resigned, expecting nothing less, but does manage to make friends with two muggleborns.

*The main Uchiha branch, before Madara’s generation, were one of the most pure-bred families and could trace a completely Slytherin legacy back to the beginning (though there were always rumors that a Veela or two intermarried.) And then Tajima fell head over heels for an extremely powerful muggleborn Gryffindor. The extended family was not pleased. To put it mildly. The heir is a half-blood and a Hufflepuff and the second eldest a Gryffindor. But at least Tajima didn’t marry a Senju, the family consoled themselves...

And speaking of, in his second year Madara also meets Hashirama. Hashirama, who is a Slytherin. He loves his family more than anything too but sees power and charm as the best way to protect them in the long run. Similar to Madara, he’s from a well-known family but the Senju before him had, at times, married half-bloods and muggleborns, but always were Gryffindors. Hashirama’s “defection” to Slytherin was not well-looked upon by his family, his house, or the house he was “supposed” to be in. He’s friendly and charming which is slowly winning people over, and incredibly powerful for his age. His and Madara’s first meeting is in the Forbidden Forest. Hashirama was out after hours looking for special plants, while Madara was out trying to spot a hippogriff. They run into each other and are very wary, but since they’re both second-years and they’re both breaking the rules...it’s not like one of them is in a “better” position than the other. Though with how many detentions Madara’s had for fighting his punishment would probably be more severe.

Somehow they manage to run into each other three separate times, before the incident happens. The incident being stumbling upon a dead hippogriff and her one newly cracked egg with an injured newborn. Madara sees the baby, the dead mother, grabs it and tries to run back to the school. Punishment be damned, it won’t survive and he doesn’t know healing spells. Only to run smack-dab into Hashirama who’s been gathering herbs and happens to know healing spells. Madara sucks up his pride, and wants to avoid detention, and asks for his help. Together, Hashirama heals the hippogriff while Madara goes to find it something to eat. They spend hours with the baby together, but they don’t know what to do with after. So Madara, in his 12 year old wisdom, decides to take it into the castle. Due to the sheer terror of his presence, he and Hashirama manage to keep it hidden between them for three days. When it eventually gets discovered, both boys get punished with a week-long detention and that’s the start of their friendship. They’re pretty inseparable after that and it’s comical, from a distance, to see a scowling Hufflepuff and a sunny Slytherin walking side by side. Not a lot of their interests overlap, but they’re both waaaay too into dueling, join the dueling club, and quickly rise to the top of their year until the other kids really don’t want to go up against either one.

They’re each others first real friend. Madara is stubborn and, let’s be real socially obliviousness enough, that he sticks with Hashirama no matter how many barbed comments come from the Slytherins, Gryffindors, or anyone else. Madara’s terrifying reputation has no effect on Hashirama, his first serious interaction with Madara was seeing him near tears holding an injured baby hippogriff after all, so his prickly demeanor and scowls don’t faze Hashirama.

Third year starts and Tobirama and Izuna are placed. Tobirama in Ravenclaw, and Izuna joins Madara in Hufflepuff. Tobirama tried to argue with the hat to place him in Gryffindor to please Butsuma, but that’s not happening. Izuna, similarly dedicated to family, isn’t a surprise to Madara but freaks the school out that there’s a second Uchiha in Hufflepuff and expect him to be like Madara. Izuna’s not. He’s sweet and innocent, and a terrible little prankster who no one suspects or can hold a grudge against. He’s also a little jealous of Hashirama for taking up his brother’s time and starts to wage a cold war against him. Hashirama thinks Izuna is adorable and it’s cute that he loves Madara so much, but like hell Hashirama is giving up his BFF. Tobirama thinks his brother is being childish and questions why he’s even friends with Madara in the first place, given Madara’s reputation and the fact that he still gets into fights though not as often. Kaito pretends he doesn’t know them, and only hangs out with Madara at school when Izuna and Hashirama aren’t around.

Fourth year starts, Yuuto, Reo, and Kawarama start their first year. Yuuto and Reo live up to the Uchiha name and are placed in Slytherin. They’re also Izuna on steroids when it comes to pranks, set up a prank business based on favors, and insert themselves as agents of chaos in the ongoing cold war between Hashirama and Izuna. They tell Hashirama it’s all about ‘house solidarity’ with matching sinister grins and Hashirama knows he’s walking into some ongoing sibling thing in the Uchiha family. Still, he accepts their help and in response Izuna ropes an unwilling Tobirama into his schemes. Madara is still oblivious. Kawarama also lives up to the Senju name and gets placed in Gryffindor. Ironically, he looks up to Kaito as one of the ‘best’ example of a Gryffindor, and starts to follow him around like a duckling. Kaito’s first pearl of wisdom is to avoid their brothers, unless they’re alone, or all together.

Fifth year starts and Itama is the last Senju to enroll. He gets placed into Hufflepuff and is absolutely terrified of the two older Uchiha in his house. Hashirama tries for a week to rope him into his and Izuna’s war and Itama blanches at the idea of acting like a spy, despite Hashirama’s protests that it’s not spying per se, it’s just keeping a very close eye on Izuna so Hashirama can get a leg up. Itama joins Kaito and Kawarama in the camp of “this is not my problem to deal with” and feels better about it even though it still means dealing with (another) Uchiha. Tobirama desperately wishes he was part of that camp. It all comes to a head before the Yule Ball. (I know it’s a Tri-Wizard tournament thing, but I want to use it.) Tobirama, fed up of Hashirama needling him, tells him if he wants a guaranteed night of uninterrupted peace where Madara’s attention is fully on him, just ask him to the Ball, third-years can’t attend. Tobirama was being sarcastic, but Hashirama takes the idea and runs with it. Runs all the way to Madara to immediately ask him on the spot. Madara who’s with Izuna. Who says yes with only a little bluster and two high spots of color on his cheeks.

Hashirama is ecstatic. He is over the moon and Tobirama is regretting every single life choice that brought him to this moment. Over the next month he bothers all of his brothers, ‘should I cut my hair?’ ‘which haircut looks better?’ ‘do I need to get new dress robes?’ ‘which style do you think Madara would like best?’ ‘how does this cologne smell?’ ‘which kind of breathmint smells better?’ He asks Tobirama the last one and gets met with a scathing look and a silencing hex that seals his mouth shut for the next two hours. Itama is still paralyzed at the thought of Madara so Kawarama ends up being the one Hashirama hounds the most. Kaito also gets dragged in as a ‘Madara expert’ bc he’s with Kawarama a lot.

The night of the Yule Ball comes and Hashirama, with uncut hair, new robes and cologne, and the fanciest kind of ten varieties of breathmint, sets out for his totally-not-a-date. Only to met with Yuuto on the stairs who wishes him luck. Hashirama thanks him and Reo, standing behind him immediately knocks him out with a stunning spell. They strip him of his fancy robes, tie him up, and leave him in a closet. Outside Slytherin’s dungeon entrance, Izuna’s waiting impatiently. The twins appear with a flourish, Hashirama’s robes in Reo’s hand and a polyjuice in potion in Yuuto’s. Family special. When Hashirama asked his brother out on a date right in front of him, it was time for Izuna to get serious. Even if meant sucking up his pride and asking his younger brothers for help. Yuuto and Reo like Hashirama but the chance to rub this in Izuna’s face forever? Him being eternally in their debt? So worth it.

Izuna takes the potion and clothes and meets up with Madara as “Hashirama”. He has one plan. Make Madara see how insufferable Hashirama is, so he stops spending every free moment with him and instead spends more time with his family. First he’s late and shrugs it off whenever Madara asks. They go to the Ball and “Hashirama” ignores Madara. Barely responds whenever he speaks or constantly interrupts him and talks over him. Dances with other people and the one time Madara mutters that he wouldn’t mind dancing, says he’s too tired and retreats to the snack table. Internally, Izuna feels equal parts thrilled and guilty. His plan is working perfectly, but he feels a bit bad he’s putting his brother through this, even though it’ll be better in the long run. He doesn’t even have to try and ignore him in the later half of the night, Madara sits by himself in a corner and won’t even look at or speak to “Hashirama.” They leave the Ball early and barely round two hallways, only the barest cover of ‘privacy’ before Madara whirls on him and starts yelling about how embarrassing and humiliating the entire experience was and why did he even ask him out if this was how he was going to act? Izuna sees the final nail in the coffin and and says he was confused and thought he liked Madara like that but decided he didn’t. He didn’t want to go to the Ball together, but he couldn’t think of a good way to tell Madara before. Izuna expects anger. Expects to see Madara’s infamous short temper and has prepared to flee with three distinct escape routes in mind in case his brother pulls out his wand.

He doesn’t expect Madara’s face to collapse in devastation. Or worse for his eyes to turn shiny with tears before he spins and starts stalking away. Izuna realizes how bad he’s messed up and tries to stop Madara. But the infamous temper sparks now, and he’s barely touched his shoulder before Madara’s turning and slamming his fist into “Hashirama’s” face. Izuna drops, unused to the pain and with a choked snarl not to follow him, Madara flees.

After a minute or two, Izuna picks himself up and dusts himself off. Only to immediately get shoved up against the stone walls as the real Hashirama comes flying around the corner, dressed in his undershirt and pants. He’s furious and for the first time in his life Izuna is actually scared of him. Hashirama demands to know where Madara is and what Izuna did. Izuna explains, in half-formed sentences, feeling like he’s about to cry. The more he says, the paler Hashirama gets until now he’s the one tearing up but his face is still twisted in rage. He yells at Izuna, how he would never do or say any of that, how important Madara is to him and how much he was looking forward to tonight. Izuna’s crying now, mumbling out apologies, and other partygoers are starting to happen upon them and see the very confusing sight of Senju Hashirama shoving Senju Hashirama up against a wall.

Hashirama drops him and tells him to go back to his dorm while he takes off after Madara. There is a chance Madara went back to his dorm but it’s unlikely. He doesn’t like to be around people when he’s upset. Hashirama checks the owlery, he peers into the magical creatures’ enclosure, he’s considering going into the Forbidden Forest or trying to get on a broom to check the skies, when he spots the greenhouse’s door cracked open. He creeps closer and hears someone sniffling inside. Peering around the corner, he can barely make out Madara’s dark form. It’s only because he’s sitting under the moon lilies in Hashirama’s portioned off area of the greenhouse he can see him at all.

Hashirama stumbles in as Madara looks up and yells at him to leave. Hashirama sees the tear tracks on Madara’s face and immediately starts sobbing himself. He moves closer despite Madara’s protests and eventually gets the full story out. Madara doesn’t yell at him to leave again and together they sit in silence under Hashirama’s moon lilies until he can’t take it and moves even closer, grabbing Madara’s hand. He doesn’t have his mints and his breath is still hitching from crying so hard, but he learns forward and kisses him. For one moment, Madara doesn’t respond and Hashirama thinks the night is going to get even worse before he finally reacts and kisses back.

They’re curled together under the moon lilies until the sun rises and the flowers wilt. Both of them are exhausted, but neither wanted to leave and burst their little bubble of peace. It lasts until a harried professor walks into the greenhouse and spots them. When neither returned to the castle, Izuna panicked and thought they were hurt so he told a teacher and the entire staff has been searching for them for a better part of the night.

Parents are called and there’s a conference. Tajima, Kou, and Butsuma can barely be in the same room together without wands or fists coming out. Soroko is sitting in the middle of it, trying to actually figure out why they were called in. Everything eventually comes out and Yuuto, Reo, and Izuna are punished for attacking another student, creating a polyjuice potion, and impersonating a student. Butsuma is torn between fury that three Uchiha attacked his son, and irritation that their ultimate goal, to separate Madara and Hashirama, failed.

And fail it did. If they were joined at the hip before, it’s nothing compared to now. The rest of their fifth year was a bit rocky with family dynamics. Izuna does apologize to both, but Madara’s disappointed and Hashirama’s not quick to forgive in this situation. Neither are happy with the twins either, but they were opportunistic rather than the masterminds. By the end of the year the worst has been smoothed over but Hashirama and Izuna still have an uneasy relationship. In groups, they’re fine, but it gets awkward fast if it’s just the two of them.

Sixth year starts and Hashirama and Madara are officially dating. The extended Uchiha family mourn, it’s Tajima all over again, and the Senju have to reckon with an unlikely friendship becoming an unlikely romance. And hopefully it’s just a teenage fling, but with the way Hashirama talks about their future after school, each career choice changing depending on the month but always the two of them together worries the Senju. There’s an attempt to arrange an engagement between Hashirama and Uzumaki Mito, a Ravenclaw who transferred in their third year, but it falls apart quickly.

Seventh year starts and those far off plans becomes reality as they pass their NEWTS and graduate. They spend a few years in a professional dueling league before eventually inheriting their fathers’ spots in the government. It’s a...bit awkward for the extended family bc they still hate each other but the heads of their houses are married and live together. In their spare time, Madara fosters and rehabilitates injured magical birds and Hashirama has a garden that is less of a garden and more of a forest with a lot of (illegal) magical plants. Tobirama is an arthimancer but dabbles in potions and he threatens to report his brother every week, but comes to collect rare ingredients because the shops never have the same quality. Izuna gets a respectable job in the Department of Mysteries, but moonlights as a diviner that reads people’s fortunes and scams them out of their money. Kaito has no interest in politics and is the only person in the history of hogwarts who wants to willingly teach history of magic. Kawarama becomes a defense lawyer in the wizengamont and is notorious for bringing up loopholes and obscure magical laws that haven’t been used since 1632. Yuuto and Reo open their prank shop...and low-key revive the wizard mafia. They always know someone, somewhere that somehow owes one of them a favor. They never get into politics and everyone, including the extended Uchiha family, are glad.

Misc. Facts about this AU

Kou’s abnormal power in this AU is that she cannot use a wand. She was taken wand shopping but all of them eventually...exploded. Kou’s magic reacted negatively with other magical focuses and she relies completely on wandless magic. Madara inherited that natural ability from her, but his magic doesn’t react negatively with his wand. It allows him to, at the height of his power, “double-cast” once with his wand and once wandless with only a slight split second delay between them. Meanwhile Hashirama has insane stamina and a weird ability where spells just...aren’t that effective against him. They work, but never seem to be at full strength. This is great for offensive spells, not great for defensive/healing ones. Hashirama’s own magic, however, reacts normally to his body.

Tajima and Butsuma are both politicians in the Ministry of Magic and their seats are the farthest apart in the room. They were rivals in school and it continues now. They even occasionally agree on policy decisions, they just hate each other.

Madara loves flying but he was banned from the school quidditch team. Kou is a professional player and he tried some of her prohibited moves. Namely, jumping off his broom, to drop down and grab a bludger and hurl it at the enemy before recalling his broom.

Hashirama has a fear of flying. He fell off a broom as a child and gets extremely nervous when his feet don’t touch the ground. He will fly with Madara, but his eyes are close the entire time and he’s clinging to Madara’s back.

Kaito and Kawarama are best friends. Not “best friends” like Hashirama and Madara’s love-struck romance or “best friends” like Izuna and Tobirama’s frenemy status, but actual good platonic friends. Kaito made the joke that Itama could make friends with the twins and then it’d all even out. Itama takes one look at those crazy two and bursts into tears.

Itama eventually gets used to Madara. They both love magical creatures and Itama is forced to see him a lot after hours. Madara still terrifies him, but at least he treats the animals nicely. The other three Uchiha still terrify him.

Mito transferred to Hogwarts in her third year. She’s a Ravenclaw and is friendly with the Senju, especially Hashirama and Tobirama. Hashirama is an endless source of amusement for her and Tobirama balances it out with interesting ideas.

Madara has a falcon for his pet instead of an owl. He was told it wasn’t allowed and responded by saying the falcon’s name was Owl. Why can’t his Owl be allowed in school? The administration is not amused.

Soroko is the most normal and level-headed out of the Senju/Uchiha parents. She reaches out to Kou once it becomes obvious Hashirama is determined to keep Madara as his friend, despite Butsuma’s disapproval. Once they start dating Kou and Soroko start meeting regularly for tea and lunches. She also has a bit of a mischievous side and likes Yuuto and Reo best (polyjuice incident aside)

The Uchiha’s maternal muggle grandparents are still alive. They usually visit for at least two weeks every summer and there are hijinks. Tajima still can’t stand muggle newspapers and their non-moving pictures. He despises muggle cars and traffic jams and still doesn’t understand what a TV is, but can turn the channel and raise/lower the volume. However, he loves fountain pens and scandalized the entire Ministry by exclusively using them after his father-in-law got him a fancy engraved set. Kou’s parents take the invasion of magic into their space remarkably well. Madara dragged in god only knows how many freakish alien looking birds from a supposedly normal non-magical wood. Kaito, as a child, refused to go anywhere for more than a day or two without the talking portrait of great-great-great-great-great grandma Uchiha. Izuna was sweet as sugar, but insisted on trying to cast every charm he knew on their furniture and clothes to show them, despite Tajima and Kou’s repeated warnings about underage magic and not turning grandma and grandpa’s couch into a miniature version of itself. And Yuuto and Reo were causing trouble before they could walk. Countless times Kou’s parents had to tip-toe around booby-traps in their own house that would dump frogs on them, or politely put smuggled howlers at the bottom of the mail pile to deal with later. They are very patient people. Very.

Can you post the reading on Colbys love life but also Sam?

I know hes with Kat but i don't get a good vibe from those she associates with and i feel that can take a toll on any relationship. I dont mean infidelity but more so using her to get to him or him and Colby type of thing.

so many of you wanted to hear about sam and kat's relationship. not that i'm surprised since they are (and sam especially) mysterious about their relationship. i mean obviously they are public about a good amount of stuff, but maybe this reading can explain their relationship better and whatnot.

i would just like to note as well that regardless of what these cards say, things can change and my interpretation could be different to someone else's. this is just how i'm reading the cards and if you don't want to take them seriously, that's totally fine. this is all in good fun and not meant to be a serious interpretation of their relationship.

now with that out of the way, here's a reading of sam and kat's relationship lol

so hilariously while i was picking cards, i was getting a lot of them, and i wasn't sure why. the deck was fucking jumping to talk to me about their relationship. i got twelve cards in total, which is a lot more than i was expecting. then i realized why: i asked the question "what's the next year for sam and kat gonna look like?"

12 cards to match the 12 months of a year. each card doesn't have to technically match up month-per-month, but it's a good way to reference.

first card was 'page of swords'. what this card means in relationships is that a couple has more intellectual conversations than emotional ones. it could also mean that someone's emotional needs aren't being fully met. i think that someone in the relationship isn't feeling emotionally the best and they should really talk out their feelings to the other. obviously, i have no idea if it's either sam or kat, but i also feel like this could be a little bit of a sign to let them know to not let petty arguments grow into actual conflicts. and just express yourself more.

i see a lot of growth and power with these next couple of cards.

second card was 'page of wands'. this is a really positive card, and relates to new adventures. a lively love, if you will. i see this as sam and kat trying out new things and going on adventures together, maybe after one of them expresses their emotional needs. basically, doing something fresh and fun that will liven up their relationship.

third card was '3 of cups'. this card is connected to social gatherings and the positivity that comes from them. in a relationship, this means that hanging out together with friends will bring you closer to your partner. i think that sam and kat will be with friends a lot during this time period, and having this positive energy around them will make their relationship even better. in these social situations, they will realize how well they truly work together.

fourth card was '9 of pentacles'. this card is about contentment and peace of mind. this card shows that sam and kat have a really healthy mix of independence and connection when it comes to each other. and because of this healthy mix, they might feel the want to possibly start a home together.

that's a huge maybe, but it's in the possible works.

fifth card was 'king of wands'. this card calls for them to put extra time and effort into their relationship. by doing this, only good and positive things will come from it. this effort will deepen their love and make it even more passionate.

sixth card was 'the high priestess'. this card reveals secrets that might be hidden in the relationship, both good and bad. so for this to work out smoothly, both need to be open with each other. this honesty will make the intimacy and love that they feel for one another even more strong.

these next couple of cards aren't the best, if i'm honest. after all this positivity, things are going to go a bit south.

seventh card was '4 of pentacles'. this talks about jealousy and being too clingy. i feel like once they bring up some hidden secrets about themselves to each other, insecurities are going to come to the surface. the relationship might feel like it's a bit suffocating, but that's only because of their fears.

eighth card was '2 of wands'. this is a good neutral card, leaning more towards a positive. i see this as a time for change; nothing too major, but adjustments. they both need to work together to figure out their futures. they need to truly work on their vision of what they exactly want, so that things will fall into place.

ninth card was 'the hermit'. this card is about soul-searching and being lonely. i don't see this as them ending things, not at all. i see it as a response to the previous card. i think around this time they are going to sit down and truly talk about their future together, what they want, and how they want it. that requires having some serious conversations. and if they aren't on the same page, or can't find a middle ground, it could be rough going forward. but there is a lot to consider, especially when you're talking about living together and being together the rest of your lives.

tenth card was 'ace of cups' reversed. upright, this card is about security, but reversed... it's the opposite. i think a lack of faith in the relationship is going to rise from these harder conversations that they are going to have. it could be that they aren't on the same page when considering marriage and family. and with major decision like that, you need to be on the same page. but i also see this as insecurities about themselves bubbling over into the relationship. around this time, they need to look inward and give themselves love.

eleventh card was 'temperance'. this card is about testing the waters. this is a period of being cautious, of taking time and having patience. they should try to find the weaker parts of their relationship and slowly try to fix them the best they can. choosing the middle path during this time will be good for them. i see emotions being high so truly... be cautious. take it day by day.

the final card was 'wheel of fortune'. this card calls for a great change, one that might not have been seen or thought of. i don't see this card as being a negative, even tho a great change can be a negative. their commitment for one another will be tested, and this test could bring them even closer to each other.

TL:DR - like any relationship, sam and kat's is gonna have ebbs and flows. i see the next couple months as being really positive, a good time for growth. and then i think this coming year, they are going to have an actual conversation, not a joke one, where they talk about their future together and what that holds. i think once they have that conversation seriously, certain questions and concerns are going to be raised. i think to some degree they may not be on the same page, and that's gonna be a major problem if not addressed. in case you're young (and hell, even i'm too young/too inexperienced to even fully understand this), there is a lot that goes into a marriage. as cute and romantic as it is to think that all you have to be is in love to get married, that's not enough. there's a lot of serious discussion that need to take place to truly move forward into that direction, even a little bit. there is no middle ground when it comes to serious topics like starting a family. once these questions start to get answered, i think they might be surprised at how different their thoughts are from one another. which then means they have to figure out where to compromise and where more talking needs to happen. their relationship is gonna have a bit of set back, nothing super major, but a pause will happen. but i think they are going to be able to power thru it and as long as they come at each other with compassion and love, they are going to come out the other side even closer to each other.

so... they're not getting married this year lol

and again, like i said in the beginning, you don't have to take this seriously. this is all in good fun. not to mention that this isn't set in stone and that things can change. maybe everything will be perfect and they'll get married two days from now. i could be completely wrong, so if you're that concerned, don't be. everything will be fine in the end :)

FACECLAIM: Rachel Weisz

CHARACTER BACKGROUND

POSTBELLUM

War is ruinous. It’s evil and endless. It’s something that Andromeda has learned. Now, she’s lived through two wars and managed to lose almost everything. During the first war, Andromeda refused to choose a side. She remained strictly neutral. Supporting the Death Eaters was what her family expected from her. However, she didn’t share the same beliefs. Supporting the Order, however, felt like the ultimate betrayal. Something that she couldn’t explain. So, she remained neutral. When the second war began to brew, she supported the Order because of her daughter’s involvement as an auror. She and Ted were never official members of the Order, but they helped where they could. This later led to the both of them being tortured for information by Death Eaters. The two were shaken, but otherwise okay, thankfully. Andromeda didn’t turn her back on the Order after this. If anything, it only made her support stronger.

When Nymphadora learned that she was pregnant, Andromeda was overjoyed, but afraid just the same. Edward went on the run due to the persecution of muggleborns and Andromeda had never been so afraid in her life. Ted was the only family that she’d had. The only person that she’d relied on for years. When the news of Edward’s death came, Andromeda tried her best to keep a brave face in front of others. She knew that the war was far from over and she couldn’t bear to upset her pregnant daughter.

Nymphadora gave birth to a bouncing baby boy and everything seemed right, if only for a moment. They honored Edward in the name and he had equal parts of her daughter and son-in-law. Andromeda begged Nymphadora to stay home, to not go to the Battle of Hogwarts, but she went anyways. The news of her daughter’s death at her sister’s hands broke Andromeda completely. She had a newborn, now, that she was responsible for and in the first few months of his life, she wasn’t sure who cried more.

If it weren’t for Teddy, Andromeda doesn’t know if she would have been able to go on. Her grandson gave her life purpose. She had reminders of the two people that she loved most and Teddy became the third. She’s taken to part time at the hospital while she’s cared for him the past couple of years.

The news of the dead coming back is all the rage and Andromeda is skeptical. Despite the skepticism, she was also hopeful for a very brief second. Then, she was disappointed and then her anger took another turn. She hoped for her husband. For her daughter. For her cousin. So far, she’s gotten none of them. The news of Remus being back has placed a pit inside her stomach that she can’t handle. She wants to be happy, but she also abhors the thought of losing her only link to her daughter, to her husband. She doesn’t know how she’s going to cope.

PERSONALITY

(+) Ambitious: Andromeda excels at anything she puts her mind to and more. Failure is not an option for her. It is a trait that she learned from her father.

(+) Eloquent: Growing up in one of the pureblood elitist families, Andromeda was taught how to be very persuasive. She knows how to use this trait and although she doesn’t use it much, it is always in her back pocket when she needs it.

(-) Stubborn: Andromeda’s stubbornness will one day more than likely get her into trouble. When she decides on something, it is rare that she changes her mind. She does not like to admit that she is wrong and rarely does so.

(-) Conflicted: Andromeda knew that befriending muggleborns would upset her family. It was against the beliefs that she had always been taught. Since her Hogwarts days, she was always incredibly conflicted. She felt a strong sense of duty to her family, but felt unable to meet their demands. When she fell in love with Ted, she knew it was the final nail in her coffin. Andromeda no longer struggles with the choices that she made. She sticks with them. However, she will always be conflicted over the bond she still feels towards her family.

ENFJ – The Giver - “Popular and sensitive, with outstanding people skills. Externally focused, with real concern for how others think and feel. Usually, dislike being alone. They see everything from the human angle, and dislike impersonal analysis. Interested in serving others, and probably place the needs of others over their own needs.”

Andromeda has the fatal flaw in which she decides that others needs are more important than her own. It was only magnified when she became a mother herself. Her people skills were groomed to perfection when she was forced to attend the numerous pureblood galas as a teenager. As a healer, she enjoys being able to put back together the hurt and heal those that are harmed by those closest to her blood relations.

BRIEF OVERVIEW OF FAMILY

Andromeda Dorea Tonks nee Black is the original family disappointment. Cygnus and Druella prayed for a boy the second time around and when Andromeda came out a girl, it was where the disappointment started. Growing up, she always felt like the odd one out. She wasn’t strong and fiercely loyal like Bellatrix. She wasn’t graceful and beautiful like Narcissa. She was the middle child through and through. Despite the disappointment and the short comings that she could not prevent, Andromeda’s loyalty was to her family. The Black family had a strong name within society. They were revered. A part of the sacred 28. Any child of the Black family would act like they were one.

She grew up with pureblood beliefs force-fed to her and being taught to believe nothing else, she actually thought that they were the only way of life. Andromeda was sorely mistaken, however, and she didn’t realize how much so until she met Ted Tonks. Edward Tonks changed everything for her. Ted Tonks was a muggleborn boy and although she didn’t want to admit it, she was smitten. Her resolve faded during their years at Hogwarts and eventually, she couldn’t deny the chemistry anymore. The rest of their years at Hogwarts were filled with letters written in invisible ink, heated meetings in empty classrooms, and plenty of sneaking around.

She struggled with her feelings for Ted and her loyalty to her family for years, until one day she chose Ted. She found out that she was pregnant and she knew it’d be the final nail in her coffin. Andromeda chose Edward and their unborn daughter and she was promptly burned from the Black family tree. Family is important to Andromeda; however, she’s learned over the years that chosen family can be more important than blood relatives.

Despite all of this, she still feels a sense of loyalty to Narcissa. A feeling like reconciliation wouldn’t be so bad. Bellatrix – however – she knows they’ll never repair their relationship. Not after what was done to Nymphadora.

After losing her husband and her daughter, Andromeda clings to her grandson. A reminder of what she’s lost – in the likeness and the name. The idea that she’s going to lose him too is killing her inside.

HISTORY

What was their life before the end of the war in ‘98 or before their death? What was important and formative for them?

Hogwarts: Andromeda’s early life was filled with piano lessons, ballet lessons, and etiquette training. She was to be the perfect pureblood daughter, even if she was a disappointment. Her parents spoke of their beliefs and taught them to their daughters, accepting no questions. Until Andromeda went to Hogwarts, the pureblood beliefs were all that she knew. She knew that she was above everyone else because she had pure blood and that she should never question it. The moment that she was sent to Hogwarts; everything changed. The things that her parents had taught her to believe – they simply weren’t true. The muggleborns and the halfbloods weren’t different than she was. In fact, there were some that were truly brilliant.

For the first few months of her education, she kept her nose up in the air because she knew her older sister was watching her every move. Andromeda pretended like she wasn’t curious to know more. Like she didn’t have questions. It was only the moment that Bellatrix looked away that she discovered everything she knew to be a lie.

Edward Tonks: When she met Edward Tonks for the first time, Andromeda didn’t give him a second thought. It was only after months of studying and tutoring that things began to shift. She began to think about him moreso than she’d like to admit. Their gazes would meet over the school books because neither of them was paying attention to their texts. Soon, the two began to sneak around, knowing the dangers that this posed for the both of them if they were to be caught. Thankfully, they weren’t caught until Andromeda chose Ted. She chose him over her family and never looked back.

Ted changed everything for Andromeda and she doesn’t deny a moment of it to this day.

Healing: Despite the arguments from her family, Andromeda chose to take a healing internship at St. Mungo’s after she graduated from Hogwarts. Her parents were not pleased and that was putting it lightly. Why should she work when all she needed to be good for was a quiet, proper pureblood wife and mother? Her parents had the perfect pureblood for her to marry, but Andromeda didn’t want any part of it. She decided to do what she loved and being a healer was everything that she needed. She needed to do some good in the world to cancel out all of the bad that was happening around them.

Nymphadora: Finding out that she was pregnant with her daughter was the final nail in her coffin. It was the final sign that she’d never be welcome on the Black family tree again. The moment that she found out that she was pregnant, Andromeda was terrified. She didn’t have a great relationship with her mother when she was growing up. She didn’t know how to be a mother. How could she take care of a child? Despite her fear, she told Ted and she’s not sure she’s ever seen him so happy before. Andromeda is fearful her entire pregnancy. She despises herself for it. It’s something that she hides. However, the first time that her daughter is placed in her arms, it’s something that comes naturally. Her love for her daughter is something that she can’t explain, but she knows that Nymphadora is the person that she loves the most in the world. Her new favorite job is being a mother.

All of her life, Andromeda tries to protect her daughter. From the evil things in the world. She tries to shield her from the things that will hurt her. The Black family. The war. When Nymphadora decides that she wants to be an auror, Andromeda supports her, but knows that she can’t protect her baby from everything. Inevitably, she’s unable to.

OOC EXPLORATION

WHAT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO? I love the idea of this roleplay and bringing back the dead. I think it’s an amazing idea and I cannot wait to interact with others and see the interactions that will play out. I love the passion that everyone seems to have for writing and I’m excited to possibly join the fun.

ANYTHING ELSE? Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/sortoutherpriorities/she-walks-in-beauty-andromeda-black-tonks/ Boggart: As a child and a teenager, Andromeda’s boggart was failing her parents. As it ultimately came true, Andromeda’s boggart eventually changed to the loss of Ted and Nymphadora, which also came true. When she became the primary caregiver of her grandson, her boggart changed once again to the loss of Teddy.

A coherent post about THESE GUYS

Ok, so I’m going to try my hardest now to sell Cole and Ramse to... absolutely anyone who may be willing to read this interminable screed, lol.

Oh yeah, gonna have to say this clearly, for once, despite my silly dislike for the title: the show I’m talking about here is 12 Monkeys. It’s on Amazon Prime; it may be available elsewhere, too, I dunno.

Also, here be spoilers - it’s impossible to talk about the relationship between these guys without dropping at least a few global spoilers that could be considered fairly extreme, though I’ll try to keep it as vague as I can while still being as specific as necessary. (I mean, I’ve talked about all of this before on this blog, so if you’ve been here for the past two weeks, this won’t raise your level of spoilage significantly.)

ETA: I just noticed that I completely failed to explain what the show is about, and what these guys’ main motivations outside of their relationship are... That would all have been in the last third, which I cut for excessive length... whoops.

***

So. Two orphaned boys meet in public care in 2015. It’s a couple of years before the end of the world, but they don’t know that. They’re ten and five or six years old, respectively, and the ten-year-old, José Ramse, who is a caring and responsible kid, immediately takes the freshly orphaned younger one, James Cole, under his wing.

In 2017 (in one timeline; exact years are a moving target, in a show about changing the past) a global pandemic breaks out, much worse than our current one, reducing humankind to a small fraction of its former number over the course of very few years.

The boys are extremely lucky: both are immune. As civilisation crumbles around them, they stick together, protecting each other. (We can assume that, at least for the first several years, that mostly means Ramse protecting Cole.)

Society doesn’t recover - not after a year, not after ten. The boys grow feral, grow up, a close-knit unit of two, each other’s only family. They become scavengers; perhaps inevitably, killers - for self-defence, at first, as per the rules they set themselves; “then, that became food and shelter”.

Here they are, a couple of years before the show’s main action begins, sharing a single pair of gloves - specifically, Ramse giving the gloves he was wearing to Cole, like the eternal big brother that he is. Awwwww.

(They, but especially Ramse, use the word “brother” a lot. It makes sense: he effectively adopted Cole when the world ended, he has a deep need to protect him; that word is the house he builds to keep Cole safe. To keep both of them safe.)

Ramse, old enough to remember living in civilisation, continues to carry within himself a conviction that “whatever this world is now, it shouldn’t be this”. Cole, still aged in single digits at the time of collapse, adapts more easily to the murderous world they now live in. For a few years the two join a gang, at Cole’s initiative. It improves their material condition, but Ramse finds the excessive violence hard to reconcile with the frayed remains of his moral instinct. He also finds it hard to watch his little brother turn into even more of a thug than post-apocalyptic life had already made him.

Here’s Ramse, objecting to following up robbery with murder:

Here’s Cole, unconvinced:

(That’s a bottle shard there in his shoulder. His last victim fought back.)

The gang intermezzo almost ends in fratricide - a too-suggestible Cole getting dangerously close to making an example of Ramse at the ganglord’s bidding, for insufficient enthusiasm for murder, but mostly, for repeatedly challenging the latter’s authority over questions of morality.

I don’t think that Ramse considers it a foregone conclusion that Cole will not do the deed, as he offers him the knife here:

This establishes a theme: violent death is ever present, between these two. Throughout their soon-to-be time-travel-cursed lives, they will repeatedly see each other almost die, or actually die, not in a “bad guy points a gun at them for a moment” way, but in ways that feel impactful.

Here’s what Cole looks like when that happens.

Here’s what it looks like when it un-happens. (I apologise for the darkness of the caps - light is scarce in the post-apocalypse, please look at this in a very dark room, or at night. Anyway, that’s a hug, ok? A kinda-hanging-on-for-dear-life one - mostly from Cole’s side, here, because Ramse doesn’t actually know what just happened, he’s from a different timeline. - They have more mutual intense hugs later, but those are also more spoilery.)

To get even more spoilery - this is important, in fact central to their relationship, but THIS IS WHERE THE EXTREME GLOBAL VAGUESPOILERS BEGIN:

It’s not simply violent death in general that’s ever present here; it is, rather more often than one would expect of two people who love each other so intensely, death at each other’s hands. These two will repeatedy get into situations where they will be ready to kill each other, or to be killed by the other - sometimes in angry challenge, sometimes in calm and, yes, loving acceptance.

These confrontations are never for a lack of love (although - once - in a momentary fit of rage); and the dynamic that develops between these two as their goals drift apart and become, eventually, entirely incompatible, is different from any I’ve seen. And it’s completely fascinating. And it is hearbreaking, but - you’ll have to trust me on this - mostly, strangely, in a good way. It never feels like enmity, and even temporary bitterness and deep disappointment are mixed with a love that never curdles into hatred. Again and again, these guys are prepared to give each other vast benefits of doubt, and forgive each other unspeakable things.

Even if it sometimes takes them a little while.

Even if they will still, perhaps, be ready to kill each other (again).

(This is Cassie, Dr. Cassandra Railly, talking about Cole and Ramse as they are navigating the first large fracture in their relationship with far more mutual goodwill than she finds warranted. She and Cole are in love - this is our central het ship here, and it’s a good one. Also, complicated - like every relationship on this show. And then all these complicated relationships interact, and things get even more complicated! So Cassie is of course involved in the dynamic between Cole and Ramse, too - but as so often on this show, it’s not what you would expect. Anyway, Cassie would be worthy of a whole long post of her own... but this is not that post.)

And you know what? This is a bit abrupt, and it all goes a bit off topic near the end, but maybe I should just end this post here. It’s probably about as long as people are (perhaps/hopefully/maybe?) willing to read; and anything I could add would just be more spoilers, really.

2019 Fanfic Year in Review

So I’m bringing @irritablevowel ’s fanfic review back and maybe you guys want to join me!

1. List of fics completed this year:

9! (if I don’t count the Lemon Tree and Little Moment Short stories, nor the little tumblr-only one shots, which I won’t for this)

Nocturne For A Queen Priorities Idiots Mercy Lucid The Ghosts of Lake Yokai I Like You VR Much Would You Like To Date My Friend, Chiba Mamoru? 50 Kisses

2. Number of words written:

261.006 words this year. In 87 chapters and 12 stories.

That’s more than last year - which I’m happy about, since a) I was extremely busy in the whole first half of this year and b) I’ll be even busier in the following 3 years. So, ya know, I’m happy I got so much done seeing as I’m sure next year will be like, 20k words total.

3. Your most popular fic this year:

Priorities (Both by favs and by reviews per chapter)

4. Your personal favourite this year:

Probably a tie between Nocturne For A Queen and The Ghosts of Lake Yokai? Though I REALLY loved Idiots, too!

5. Your favourite scene:

That scene in Idiots where Mamoru and Sailor Moon have that conversation where they are both very convinced to be talking about something than the other thinks they’re talking about. Overall, that whole story was very much a joy to write, ngl lol.

6. A fic or scene that challenged you:

50 Kisses was kind of an up-and-down for me, as you guys know! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten as much backlash for a single fic than for that one, (especially because that backlash never came for the actual content, just the format??) and yeah, that was definitely challenging.

7. A line of writing you’re proud of:

Here’s dialogue from 50 Kisses I was proud of:

"Who do you want to get love letters from then, Odango?" He was just keeping the stupid conversation going to rile her up, she knew him. But his voice was warm for once, and she could not deny she liked that tone on him.

But she could. She could deny it vehemently. "Pft," she snorted, and turned her nose up into the air dramatically. "As if I'd tell you."

When she peeked back up at him, the smirk was back. Full on. "Don't tell me it's me," he said with that tone. Ugh.

She bristled. "Oh, you're just so full of yourself."

He chuckled, leaned towards her a little with those obnoxiously, irritatingly upturned lips, and she shrunk back a little, her cheeks heating. "I'm not the worst catch," he twinkled at her in mischief.

She glared. "You wish."

His laugh was deep. It sounded... nice.

"I bet you'd write the worst love letters," she accused, all the petulance in her strong.

He threw her a wink. The light of a street lamp they passed played with the shadows on his face, distractingly. "I'm quite good at haikus actually."

"Oh, suuuure."

That smirk again, and then he stopped, and she stopped too, and he patted his chest dramatically and cleared his throat theatrically and fixed her with a look that made something in her pop.

"You want love letters? Oi, Odango Atama. You're no pest today."

His smile was entirely too smug for a haiku so bad.

"Smooth," she deadpanned, unimpressed.

He just laughed that twinkling laugh again and shrugged. "A poem instead?"

He leaned back in, and this time she didn't lean away but tried to meet his petulant eyes full on. Had… Had Mamoru-baka always been this … attractive?

But then he opened his mouth and that came out - obnoxious and over-acting and ridiculous and how does he come up with this so fast? - and she was back to bristling and rolling her eyes.

"Shrieks boom so loud, who can it be but one? She shakes the ground, she makes all sound, no peace is found when she's around. Odango please, now can I bring you home?"

She tried to deck him. Slapped the back of her hand towards his chest, but the jerk caught it. And laughed.

8. A comment that touched you:

So, I am like the luckiest person on here and I get SO MANY touching comments. At least every weak I clutch at my heart and wriggle in my seat and NEED to show my husband what some of you SAID. So it’s hard to pick. Because I love you guys all and covet my reviews in a way that’s friggin STUPID.

But, I’m picking for once. It stands for a number of comments and things for me though: And it was that time when I was so down about my daily Kisses-troll and answered them here on tumblr (twice!) that you came for my rescue (twice!) and like, cut a bitch for me collectively. The second time that happened some of you even sent me motivating coffees via Kofi, and one came with this message:

That made me laugh SO hard. I have it screenshotted and printed out in my writing corner, next to the print-outs of the fanart some of you made for my stories last year and the year before!

I sat down to write the first chapter for The Unintentional Seduction of Chiba Mamoru that next day, in my fav writing café with macarons and hot chocolate that some of you have friggin paid for!

9. Something that inspired your writing this year:

I got a huge boost of inspiration this year after the summer. A) I’d read a super cute book @irritablevowel had recommended to me and it sparked a lot of stories in my head and B) I’d met @uglygreenjacket, @tinacentury and @irritablevowel in person and it made me feel all warm and at home in this community. Also, ya know, I felt like I gained like 3 big filled up hearts of life back after my thesis was done, and had a bit of energy to write!

10. Your proudest accomplishment (that one scene; finally finishing that one fic; posting your first fic; etc)

Never missing a day with the kisses (except that one that where I did it deliberately to give a new story of mine some room). Yes, about just over a third had been pre-written by the time I started posting, but there were still a number that I wrote only very close to the day it was needed, several ON the day it was needed. I’m proud I managed to shovel away time for writing enough that I managed!

And I’ll add a new question to this:

11. Do you have any writing goals for the next year?

I want to complete The Unintentional Seduction of Chiba Mamoru before my life gets too crazy, and I want to manage to still write at least a LITTLE as my life gets a busy-boost!

All in all, it’s been another happy, happy fanfic year for me, and I’m glad I have this wonderful community of all of YOU to share it with! Thanks for being here with me!

Also, guys, consider yourselves tagged! All of you who want to!!! Please!

But to get it kickstarted, you six definitely: @irritablevowel (you started this, you have to ;) ), @idesofnovember, @uglygreenjacket, @tinacentury, @queenrisa14, and @kasienda

Mwah! 💋

718

If you lived in Bikini Bottom, would you befriend Spongebob or Plankton? Obviously Spongebob. I’m there to have a good time and catch jellyfish, not eat holographic meatloaf and make it my life’s goal to steal a secret formula. Do you have any bananas in your house right now? I think we still have some left. My dad bought a pack? a group? a bunch? of them so he can make banana cue and turon for my mom and sister while we’re all stuck at home for the meantime. Which overrated tattoo are you sick of seeing? Eh I don’t judge this easily since I assume tattoos mean a lot to people but where I’m from, line tattoos are pretty overused. They DO look nice and I get why they’ve been trending for a while, but yeah they’re evvvvvverywhere. Is it easy to distract you? Yes haha I have a rather quick attention span. Do you prefer to drink from glasses or mugs? Depends on the drink. I drink my water from a glass but I prefer my coffee in a mug, that sort of thing.

What was the last thing you taught a younger kid? I don’t feel confident teaching kids just yet, huhu. It usually works the other way around: when I’m with kids, they teach me how to play their toys or whatever game they’re playing on their parents’ phone/iPad. Are the clocks in your house mostly digital or analog? We only have one analog clock. We mostly tell the time from our phones. How long have you had your television(s)? Answered this before but we have two TVs that are 12 years old and two others that were bought within the last decade. Do you like watching movies made with CGI or do you prefer hand-drawn ones? I don’t care. As long as the end product is done well I can enjoy the movie. Where did your parents buy their car(s)? I know for sure the two family cars were bought directly from the official dealers. I think mine was a secondhand one. Do you know why your grandparents chose your mother's name? No. I think they just liked the name. That makes me want to ask my grandma though. What is your favourite kind of soup? Miso is the only one I really like. Have you ever made your own musical instrument? Nope. What do you think of Leighton Meester's singing voice? I only know one song of hers and I reeeeeally loved that when it came out, but I don’t think it’s enough for me to have an opinion for her music altogether. I definitely don’t hate her voice though. Do you think you'd do well at teaching the English language to a foreigner? Yeah, it’s my other everyday language and I’m a little bit more fluent in it than I am in Filipino. How long have your neighbours lived there? About the same time as us, I think. We all moved in at sort of the same time when the village was newly developed. Is it weird to hear your name in movies or TV shows? It’s not a very common name so it does feel a bit weird to hear, yes. It’s weirder if I have to refer to the character in third person cause I never liked saying my own name :/ Why do so many people seem to hate the Jonas Brothers? Am assuming this refers to the Jonas Brothers pre-reunion because I’m sure no one hates them and their new music now lmao. I think, simply put, it was because they were teenagers then, and pre-teen and teenage girls was their main fanbase? Most people liked to shit on that category of celebrities, even today – case in point, Justin Bieber, 5SOS, One Direction haha. What is a store you like that is exclusive to your country? Fully Booked! It’s the most complete, up-to-date, and chic bookstore brand we have. The Fully Booked branch in BGC in particular is a partnership with Starbucks, so you can immediately walk over there to get a coffee and read after buying a book heh. If you attend school, what time do you usually get home after? I always have extracurriculars like org stuff, meetings, or fieldwork after my academic schedule so more often than not I’ll get home by 9 or 10 PM, which leaves me feeling exhausted as fuck at the end of the day. When was the last time you really needed to just let loose? Like two weeks ago? I was bored out of my mind being stuck at home so I chugged a lot of soju that I asked my dad to buy so I can at least be drunk while being bored lol. Have you ever been blackmailed? Kinda. There was a time when I didn’t talk to my sister and didn’t really feel well enough to reconcile with her yet, but my mom threatened to go to our class guidance counselor and expose me and ‘the kind of older sister I am’ if I didn’t make amends with my sister immediately.

This might sound sarcastic but thanks, survey, for reminding me what kind of mom my mother actually was during the years that were the most critical to my development lmao. I always need reminders like this because despite how our relationship has ‘improved’ now that I’m older, I shouldn’t forget the trauma she caused me and the fact that I had always planned to detach myself from her as much as possible once I’m fully independent. I can’t disappoint my younger self by keeping her in my life as if nothing happened.

Do you suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome? No. I keep forgetting what that means. Would you rather have novels based on your life or a series of comic books? Novels, so I’d be more interested to read it. Have you written a resume before, either for yourself or someone else? I did a resumé when I applied for my internship. Did you know that they plan on releasing a movie based on The Smurfs? This survey is sooooooo old hah they’ve made a bunch of films on it already. Do you ever wonder what it would be like to live underwater? Not really. Mostly I’ve just wondered what it would be like to be a creature from the deep sea, where it’s totally dark and most of the animals there look prehistoric as fuck lol. Have you ever worked in a bakery? If not, would you like to? No but this question reminded me of Harry Styles, aw :’) ANYWAY if I did I’d probably take up a job in the office, since I can neither bake nor deal with people on a regular basis even if one argues that bakeries aren’t really particular spots for angry Karens or Barbaras. What is your favourite thing about snow? I like that we don’t get them because it’s bound to make my first encounter with snow in the future magical as fuck. Is there a big personality difference between you and your sibling(s)? Yeah. I tend to adapt to new environments way better than they do and I’m definitely the most extroverted of the three in all aspects. Do you enjoy decorating things with stickers? Hahahah yes, it’s an uncontrollable urge. I keep my stickers to just my laptop case these days, but back then I used to put stickers on my phone case, my ID case, clipboard, wallet, etc. Did you lose anything recently? Did you end up finding it? I lose my hair tie every now and then; my hair’s a bit short for a ponytail now so my hair tie gradually slips out my hair with me barely noticing it, so it always ends up in random places around the house. I do end up finding it after a while but it gets frustrating whenever I realize it had fallen off again. What colour oven mitts do you have? We don’t really use the oven so we barely use the ones we have. I don’t even know the color of it.

Why do you/don't you watch award shows? Because there are sooo many commercials in the middle of it, some presenters are awkward as fuck and I’d rather save myself from the secondhand cringe, and most of the time the choices for the winners are undeserving and end up pissing everyone off. It’s always easier to just wait a few hours and check the results on Google; and besides, the only fun parts are seeing what everyone is wearing and who attends to begin with hah. What do you think of Ellen DeGeneres as the new judge on American Idol? God this was a lifetime ago. I think I mostly didn’t mind it but I never did get over the replacement of the OGs Randy, Simon, and Paula. Do you ever do the exercises featured in some magazines? No. Have you ever watched What The Buck? What do you think of it? I don’t think I’ve heard of that. How long ago did you switch from cable to satellite, if you did? We didn’t make a ‘switch,’ per se. We had cable in our old home but when we moved to our current house in 2008, having extra channels wasn’t really the priority as moving already entailed a whole lot of expenses to begin with. That meant we only had free TV for a while which was extremely fucking boring, but eventually my dad got us satellite in like 2011 or 2012. When was the last time you partnered up with someone to complete something? I decided to partner up with Andrew for my undergraduate thesis in like August last year. Do you consider Lady GaGa's appearance artistic, or just plain weird? Artistic. What do you usually do when you have trouble sleeping? I put a lengthy YouTube video on so I can fall asleep to the background noise. At least that’s what I do these days - I always thought I needed complete silence to fall asleep, but apparently that’s not the absolute case. What was the last thing you used scissors for? I opened a sachet of 3-in-1 coffee.

Have you ever used some kind of food as a facial mask? Nah I always just use Korean sheet masks. How many USB cords do you have lying around? I personally don’t have any but I do have a hard drive. Are you satisfied with your social life (or lack thereof)? I’m very satisfied with it and I’m glad I got to open up in college. Do you know anybody whose initials spell something? Sure. What is your favourite flavour of Kool-Aid? I’ve never had Kool-Aid. Is there a specific food you think NEEDS to be at Christmas dinner? My grandma’s steak. Would you be able to re-string a guitar? I wouldn’t even know where to buy guitar strings. What TV show do you just assume you wouldn't like? How I Met Your Mother, just because their fans love to make fun of and compare their oh-so-great show to Friends so much when I’ve never seen a single Friends fan make fun of HIMYM like ????? Why the one-sided, unsolicited hate??? I was always planning to watch the show and appreciate Friends and HIMYM at the same time but because the fans are so pathetic I just stopped wanting to watch it altogether. Do your friends have more money than you? Seems unfair to pit ourselves against one another when we’re all still depending on our parents’ money lmao. Who always has the power to make you feel intimidated? Ate Frances has always had a very strong personality. Do you have more bread or cheese in your house? Bread. What was the last movie trailer you saw? Not sure. I don’t really like trailers since most of them give away too much of the plots already. Did you purchase any meat product when you were at the store last? My dad did. Have you ever been told that you have chubby cheeks? Well I don’t, so no I’m not usually told this lol. Do you know how to properly use a saw? Nope. Isn't it a shame that what Kanye West did at the VMA's overshadowed what was supposed to be a night dedicated to Michael Jackson? Hahahaha not really, I found it hilarious and so so stupid. There were a billion other tributes to MJ that year that went smoothly so it doesn’t really matter to me if the 2009 VMAs will always be known as the Imma-let-you-finish VMAs.
