here's the stuff about me pertaining to sanders sides!

★ my favorite side is roman, i actually kin him and relate to him a lot!

★ my least favorite side is patton. i don't think he's evil or anything, but i am very critical of him and i make him the antagonist in a lot of my aus.

★ my opinion on the sides from favorite to least favorite are as follows: roman, logan, remus, virgil, janus, patton.

★ i am an avid remy enjoyer and i think emile picani is cool.

★ i do a lot of canon-deviant headcanons such as race headcanons, pronoun headcanons, and disability headcanons. i am very respectful of these things and do lots of research, mainly because such headcanons are usually projections of myself and my own experiences.

★ i write a lot of sanders sides fanfiction and roleplay ideas, as well as aus. feel free to use anything you'd like for inspiration as long as you give me credit! i've had my work stolen before and it doesn't feel good.

★ my least favorite ships are pretty much all patton ships and remrom. i'm not a remrom destroyer who will burn down your house if you ship remrom (as long as they're like- not explicitly brothers) but i'm an identical twin so the idea of them being in love is super weird to me lmao. i can't take it seriously.

★ i love talking about sanders sides please talk to me about sanders sides! especially if it looks like we have a lot in common!

Hidden Feelings

Pairing: Pippa x Reader

Request: “Hi! I love your stories! Can I request one where the reader and pippa are roommates and they don't know if their feelings are reciprocated, and just overall fluff?” - @rosesandoceansxx

Based on the song, Crush by David Archuleta

Word Count: 1.1k

I hung up the phone tonight

Something happened for the first time

Deep inside, it was a rush, what a rush (What a rush, rush)

'Cause the possibility

That you would ever feel the same way about me

Just too much, just too much (Just too much)

I was currently on the phone with Pippa, my roommate and best friend, who was also the girl that I may have had a tiny crush on. She was driving home, from the airport. She had been on a vacation, back home, to go to a family member’s wedding.

“So how was the trip?” I asked her, excited to hear all the details. “It was really fun, it was really nice to get to see my parents again. It had been so long since I had seen everybody” she told me. I could hear her smiling through the phone.

“Did you meet any dazzling women at the wedding?” I asked her, praying that the answer was no. “No, I’ve got my heart set on another girl” she said, she was still smiling. My heart dropped, of course she liked somebody. I was so naive to think that she didn’t.

Wait. What if she liked me? I could be that girl. That would change everything. Nope. It was too good to be true.

I panicked, I didn’t have the slightest clue of what to say. I quickly hung up and threw my phone onto my bed.

Why do I keep running from the truth?

All I ever think about is you

You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized

And I just got to know

Pippa had gotten back home last night. She asked me why I hung up. I told her that my phone just cut out, she seemed to believe it.

She was out getting some groceries right now. I had invited Jasmine over. I desperately needed some advice.

“Jas, I need your help. I don’t know what to do? What if that girl is me?” I asked her, freaking out. “Would that be so bad? You’re head over heels for her” Jasmine told me. “I am not” I said, becoming defensive.

“Do you know how many times you text me a day to tell me about a cute thing she did? A lot. When we hang out, half the time you’re just talking about something you did with her. And what about when I try and have a conversation with you when she’s around? You’re a brick wall, all you can do is give her googly eyes” Jasmine told me.

Do you ever think when you're all alone

All that we can be, where this thing can go?

Am I crazy or falling in love?

Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?

Are you holding back like the way I do?

'Cause I've tried and tried to walk away

But I know this crush ain't going away

Going away

I was laying in bed and I couldn’t get what Jasmine said out of my mind. Maybe I was head over heels for Pippa. I did feel ten times happier when she was around. And all of my best memories include her.

Then it hit me.

I was absolutely in love with my best friend, and I had no clue how she felt. There was a chance she liked me, but a bigger chance she would laugh in my face if I confessed my feelings.

I wondered if she had ever lied in bed and thought about me, the way I was thinking about her right now.

Little did I know, she was right next door, thinking about how much she adored me. She was worried about if I liked her back.

I wondered if this was just a passing crush, or if this could actually turn into something real. What if Pippa was my soulmate? But what if I confessed and she never talked to me again?

Whether Pippa liked me back or not, I knew that I would definitely be hung up on her for a while.

Has it ever crossed your mind

When we're hanging, spending time, girl

Are we just friends? Is there more, is there more? (Is there more?)

See, it's a chance we've gotta take

'Cause I believe that we can make this into

Something that will last, last forever, forever

“Pippa, I need to talk to you” I told Pippa, walking into her room. She was sitting on her bed, scrolling through her phone. “Okay” she said, placing her phone down on the bedside table.

“Do you ever think about us?” I asked her. I was so unsure as to how to start this conversation. Was it better to ask her outright if she liked me? Or should I try and lead up to it?

“You’re gonna have to be a little more specific. I mean, I think about us a bunch, you’re my best friend” she told me, honestly. “Well that’s what I mean, we spend like every waking second of our lives together” I told her.

“Are you saying you want to spend less time together?” She asked me. Her voice was laced with hurt. “No no no, god why is this so hard for me?” I said, muttering the last part under my breath.

“The other day you said you liked someone, right?” I asked her. “Yeah I did say that, why?” She asked, still looking confused.

I wished that I could just come out and ask her, but this was one of the hardest conversations I’d ever had.

“Was it me?” I asked her, finally snapping. “Oh...well uh” she said, hesitantly.

I knew it.

She totally had feelings for someone else and now I had made her feel uncomfortable. I never should of brought this up, I had just single-handedly ruined our friendship.

“Oh, okay. That’s okay, I completely understand. I just, I have a really big crush on you and I was hoping that maybe you liked me back. I’ve been thinking for a while that maybe we could work out and be meant to be. But, really it’s fine. I’m sorry I brought it up” I said, turning to leave the room.

“Y/N, wait. Stop rambling for one second” she told me. “Listen, you don’t have to apologize for how you feel. I get it” I told her, trying to leave again.

“You didn’t let me finish, you are the one I like” she said, simply. I stopped, dead in my tracks and turned around to face her. We both had the biggest smiles on our faces.

Your Idiots | poly! John Laurens & Eliza Schuyler

Pairings: poly! John x Eliza x g/n!reader

Warnings: no plot just fluff, not proofread, John and Eliza are cinnamon rolls

Time: modern

A/N: I got this prompt from this tumblr blog @creativepromptsforwriting and their prompt lists (go check them out)

(DO NOT PLAGARISE, TRANSLATE, MODIFY, OR REPOST ANY OF MY WORKS TO ANY OTHER PLATFORM)

A loud sigh left Y/N's lips as they stared back at the empty page of writing. They were both stressed and unmotivated about the upcoming work they needed to have done. They had been shut inside their room all day, barely even speaking to John or Eliza.

Though that would change soon.

John loudly kicked open the bedroom door, frowning when Y/N didn't even look up from their laptop.

"Hey." he said, standing in the door frame like a bored toddler.

"Hey." Y/N responded, eyes still glued to their laptop screen. A moment passed and John was still stood in the door frame, and Y/N grew tired of the silence, "What's wrong?"

Not even a second after those words left their mouth, John raced toward the bed where Y/N was sitting and sat down on the bed beside Y/N, resting his head on Y/N's shoulder, “I'm bored." he whined.

"I can see that," Y/N mumbled, shutting their laptop and setting it aside so John could properly sit long enough for them to talk.

"And I need attention.” he added, staring up at Y/N with puppy dog eyes.

“And I need to focus right now." they argued, resisting his puppy dog eyes, "Go annoy Lizzie, that’s why there are three of us.”

John scoffed, "Jokes on you, she's bored too. I just convinced her to come and annoy you."

"What?" Y/N groaned, hanging their head back against the bed frame. Within seconds, Eliza ran inside the room and practically jumped onto the bed, lying down on Y/N's lap, "I hate you both." they mumbled, even though they knew it was far from the truth.

"That's a lie." John and Eliza corrected simultaneously.

"Besides," Eliza began, "You've been working forever."

"It's been like, three hours." Y/N said, staring at the pair with confused looks.

"Exactly," John said, "Forever."

Y/N just rolled their eyes, fighting the smile that tugged on their lips at their partners behavior's.

"And we wanna watch movies with you." Eliza added, staring up at Y/N with a smile.

"But I really need to finish this..." Y/N mumbled, deep down hoping that either one would find a way to shut that idea down.

"A break could help you." John chimed in, the small smile on his face sending butterflies in Y/N's stomach, "And it's not like you had much done."

"Rude."

"I'm sorry, it's true!" 

Y/N squeezed their eyes shut, contemplating their two choices, even though they knew which one they would choose (and no way were Eliza or John leaving).

"Fineeeee." they groaned, "What movie do you guys want?"

Y/N felt Eliza shrug, "I don't mind." she mumbled, receiving a sigh from Y/N and John.

"See, you say that, then say no to every movie option we give you." John mumbled, making Eliza huff in frustration.

"I do not." she argued.

Y/N sighed, "Well, what about Broken Hearts Gallery?" (guys I think I'm funny)

"Nah."

"Moana?"

"We watched that last week." Eliza mumbled.

"Over The Moon?"

"No, I can't have us all crying again."

"Then you suggest something," Y/N groaned.

Eliza scrunched up her lips together, showing that she was thinking, "What about Shark Tale?"

A smile tugged on both Eliza and Y/N's lips, as they stared at John expectantly and couldn't help but laugh at how quickly his face dropped.

"No," he said, lifting his head up from Y/N's shoulder to sit up straight, "no we're not watching that. I'm not letting you two bully me about the stupid fish."

"But it's funny." Eliza mumbled, sitting up from Y/N's lap to be eye to eye with John, fighting a laugh when they glanced over at Y/N.

"I hate that stupid fish so much. I look nothing like him." John whispered, earning a laugh from Y/N.

"Ok, we won't watch Shark Tale." Y/N muttered, rolling their eyes playfully, "But we've gotta choose something."

Eliza huffed, running a hand through her hair, "Why don't we just watch Disney movies?"

"How does that narrow it down?" Y/N asked, who just got two shrugs in return.

Eliza smiled, "It doesn't."

"You're meant to be taking a break, we didn't clarify how long of one." John shrugged, pursing his lips.

A laugh left Eliza's lips as she reached for the t.v. remote on the bedside table, before shuffling back beside Y/N, John on the other side, both of them resting their heads on Y/N's shoulders.

"Oh my gosh, you two are idiots." Y/N laughed.

"First of all, rude. Second of all, we're your idiots."

A/N: I feel like Eliza and John were kind of out of character, and I'm not really happy with this, but here we are also remember to take breaks! y'all know what happened to Hamilton when he didn't take a break....

buy me a coffee <3

Y'all I just saw broken hearts gallery, 10/10 would recommend. Its so sweet and I love anything Pippa does😍😍😭

Fanfic crisis

I have a question!! I read this lippa fanfic YEARS ago, it was a trilogy. In the first book, Pippa's boyfriend breaks up with her, and Lin brings her Hershey kisses. It goes on from there... Does that sound familiar?

I originally read it on Wattpad and I thought it was the cutest thing ever!

[daisy-rivers]

And once again, I’ve written a story about this incredibly gorgeous bay boy. I think this is my favorite portrait of him ever. The new story, “Fuego,” follows “The Song That Yearns to Be on My Tongue,” and is now Part 2 in a series of I don’t know how many yet. Once again, Lin and Pippa (and Groff!) get up to serious PDA, there is talk of writing and creating, but also an enjoyable (I hope) bit of smut. Oh, and Mía gets a cameo.

Read it on AO3:

——

They had been married for nearly seventeen years.

And Eliza had been there for it all.

She was there when their first child, a little girl with wild curls named Eleanor was born. Months later she left for London with her husband, and visited sparingly. London was quiet and her marriage was loveless— Angelica was able to marry for love. Eliza, was not.

She had found out quickly, through her second child. Her daughter, Angelica, who everyone called Ange, had rushed into the house, clutching a pamphlet and crying.

Eliza had grabbed the pamphlet from her hand and pulled her into a hug, her head resting against her shoulder. Eliza read quickly—

The charge against me is a connection with one James Reynolds for purposes of improper speculation. My real crime is an amorous connection with his wife, for a considerable time, with his privity and connivance, if not originally brought on by a combination of husband and wife with the design to extort money from me.

Eliza closed her eyes hard, and spots danced in her vision. Do not stop reading. Do not stop reading. Do not—

She opened her eyes again, and continued.

This confession is not made without a blush. I cannot be the apologist of any vice because the ardor of my passion may have made it mine. I can never cease to condemn myself for the pang, which it may inflict in the bosom eminently entitled to all my gratitude, fidelity and love. But that bosom will approve that even at so great an expense, I should effectively wipe away a more serious stain from a name, which it cherishes with no less elevation than tenderness. The public too will I trust to excuse the confession. The necessity of it to my defense against a more heinous charge could alone have extorted from me so painful an indecorum.

Eliza would never forgive him. She knew it now, and would know it the moment she stepped out of the room. Would know it the moment her daughter pulled away, her face dressed in tears, blotched red, her eyelashes sticking together. She would know it when she discovered the stain of her daughters tears on her dress. She would know it every time she saw Alexander’s eyes.

For now, she dropped the pamphlet, letting it drift to the ground like fall leaves, and clutched her daughter close, Eliza’s tears dropping into her hair.

She knew she would never forgive Alexander. All she had left to do now, was tell him.

——

After that Eliza left quickly for New York, taking only Ange with her. Eliza hated it, but she knew that Ange would register the change in her.

They had not mentioned the only time Ange had ever seen or heard her mother cry, had not mentioned that Ange’s hair was damp with her mother’s tears once they had left the room— had not mentioned that her mother’s eyes were perpetually misted over, the threat of her unshed tears constantly looming.

Eliza’s only comfort was that she knew Ange would think of it as sadness— and she was sad, but in the dreadful turn of her emotions, sadness was one of the smallest ingredients. Anger was the emotion fueling her, pushing her forward and onto a ship and to American soil.

At first the anger had blinded her– a sudden, burning hot anger that sent chills rushing across her skin, making her stomach feel as though it was boiling. That feeling had faded once she boarded that ship with her daughter. After that, her skin had stopped its chills and her stomach ceased to boil. Instead, she felt cold all over and eerily calm. Something about her felt wrong with the calmness– she should be angry. Punching walls and shouting, but instead she felt almost numb.

Ange asked her, once and quickly, if she was alright— stable, was the word she had used, and Eliza did not feel stable. She felt like a boat untethered in a storm; drifting, rocking, capsizing with no way out, every door leading to the black darkness of the sea.

She hesitated in her answer,  and she knew after that, Ange wouldn’t think she was alright. No matter what she said.

——

Eliza stood in front of the door to Alexander’s study. She knew this house. The house where she had tried so hard to persuade Alexander to take a break and come to visit her father— the summer when it started— the summer when the beginning of the end came wearing a red dress. She knew, down the hall, there would be a bedroom. The bedroom where Alexander did not say no when he had so many chances.

With new determination, she knocked.

A chair scraped against the wooden floor, and scraped again while being pushed back into its spot. Alexanders footsteps tapped along the floor. Left, right, left, right, left. He walked lightly— soldiers tread. The handle turned, the door opened, and Alexander stood in front of her. He looked utterly exhausted, and Eliza was pleased by it.

“Eliza,” he said. “Thank god you’re here, thank god. Finally someone who understands what I’m struggling here to do.”

Eliza didn’t even know she had made a face at him until his eyebrows crinkled in a confused looking fashion. “I’m not here for you,” she said, taking a step forward. Alexander took a step back as she did, and it gave her a flood of courage. She took more steps into the room, and with every step she took, Alexander took another backwards.

She didn’t even have to look to know where the handle to the door was. She grabbed it, closing the door. She didn’t want one of the children— especially Eleanor— wandering in accidentally.

“Eliza, I do not understand—,”

“No, you do not,” she said, coldly. “Or you do, and you just do not seem to care. I am not sure which is worse, if I am being honest.”

“If you would only listen to what I have to say,” Alexander pleaded. She wasn’t fooled by it; his face was still calm and even. He wasn’t panicked. Yet.

“I am not going to be the one doing the listening, Alexander. I have read your pamphlet— I know the things you’ve done, and yet, you seem to think that I am here to commiserate and sympathize?” She said. “With you?”

She stepped away from the door, watching Alexander take the equal steps back again. Was he afraid that she would hit him?

“Do you not understand what you have done?” She whispered, and Alexander’s lips parted.

“I know that she will forgive me—,”

“No!” Eliza practically shrieked. “No! You know nothing, do not think you can fool me into forgetting that!”

“I am not trying to fool you.”

“But you have,” she said, rushing to his desk, and grabbing a stack of papers, startled to notice that a copy of the pamphlet was on top. “The papers, the words and the syllables and the letters you write down— your letters are lies and you do not know how to stop spilling them.” She moved the pamphlet to her other hand, then dropped the rest of the papers, letting them scatter on the floor.

“I—,”

“A pen is a sword and you know precisely how to wield it. How to cut us and convince us we are not bleeding,” she snapped, everything she had been wanting to say to him since her daughter rushed to her crying spilling out of her lips like ammunition from a gun.

“I know Angelica,” he said, and Eliza took a deep breath. “I know she will see what is right— that she will forgive me.”

“How dare you?” Eliza said, unsure if she was whispering or screaming. “I know my sister like I know my own mind— do not assume you know her like I do.”

“Eliza—,”

“I met Angelica on the second day I was alive— at two days old, my father brought me to her and let her squeeze my hand and she giggled, delighted,” Eliza said. Her father had told her the story many times, since she was old enough to know what his words meant. “She has been my best friend for all the years of my life.”

“And I—,”

“And you know nothing of it,” Eliza said. “My sister taught me to braid my hair, sticking flowers and clovers in the loose braids. Taught me to draw and sat beside me in every class we had— reading, writing— Angelica has been there for me unequivocally since my second day alive, and I for her.” Eliza took a deep breath, her fists tightening; the crackle of the now crumpled pamphlet she was holding broke the careful silence. “Do not think you know her better than I do.”

Alexander was silent, his breathing heavy and drawn out. He blinked, and Eliza could see how exhausted he was. His eyes had dark bags beneath them, and his eyelids looked heavy. He was a wreck, and Eliza savoured it.

“You do not understand,” he finally breathed, his eyes closed.

“No, I understand precisely,” she flattened the pamphlet back out, smoothing the edges; doing anything to make it legible again. “‘… I should effectively wipe away a more serious stain from a name…’” she quoted, and looked back at Alexander. “Everything you do, and say. Every action and word and movement— to preserve a legacy. To clear your name.”

“Eliza—,”

“You have not cleared your name, you have ruined it,” she said, turning to leave. “You’ve redefined your legacy.” She was close to the door, close to being able to get out of this room; to hold her sister in her arms.

“It was an act of political sacrifice!” Alexander yelled, and moved forward. He grabbed Eliza’s elbow, and pulled her around to face him.

“Sacrifice!” She yelled back, ripping her arm out of his grasp. “You do not know what sacrifice is.”

She looked up at him, and he finally looked angry. The corners of his mouth were pressed in, his lips parted in a furious scowl, and his eyes—

His eyes, which Eliza had found so lovely, now held nothing of his past self— of a solider boy she had fallen in love with in a blink, a boy she had given up for her sister. This was not the Alexander she knew.

“I languished in a loveless marriage in London, and I lived only to read the letters you sent me,” she said, and Alexander’s brow furrowed. “I look at you and think— God, what have we done with our lives— and what did it get us?” She took a step away from him, her fingers finding the wall and spreading out against it. “A million years ago, I saw my sister’s eyes glitter and everything about her glow brighter than stars ever could dream to— and I gave up everything for her.”

“Eliza, I have done nothing to hurt you—,”

“Yes, you have,” she said, “and it doesn’t wipe the tears or the years away, but I’m back in the city and I’m here to stay. But, do you know what I’m here to do?”

“Eliza,” he breathed, the tone of someone defeated.

“I am not here for you,” she said, taking a step forward, Alexander taking one back. “I am here for my sister.”

“I need someone to understand—,”

“And it will not be me,” she said. “I love my sister more than anything in this life, and I will choose her happiness before mine every time,” she loosened her grip on the pamphlet, and it fluttered to the ground. “Angelica is the best thing in our lives— never lose sight of that fact!” Eliza pushed her anger to her arms, spreading her palms and shoving Alexander backwards.

He stumbled, catching himself on his desk, scattering papers and a broken quill.

“For the rest of your life,” Eliza breathed, taking a moment to wonder what she looked like— a wreck, most likely, but it didn’t stop her. “Every sacrifice you make is for my sister—,”

“Elizabeth.” He had never said her full name before, and it startled her for a moment. She blinked, and pulled herself back to her body.

“Give her the best life.” She whirled around, seizing the handle of the door, and pulling it open.

Her sister stood in front of her, her curls falling out of a carefully pinned up style, sticking to the tear tracks on her cheeks.

“Angelica,” Eliza said, blinking and looking her sister up and down— she spotted a scorch mark on her sister’s dress, but it skipped over her mind like a rock on water.

“Eliza,” Angelica whispered, before collapsing into Eliza’s arms and sobbing. She smoothed a hand down Angelica’s back, shushing her like she had her daughter.

She held back her own tears, knowing that Angelica would need her to be calm— but that wasn’t her. Angelica was the calm one, the strong one. The one best at protecting her heart. But… Eliza had shielded her heart and her feelings from her sister before, and she could do it again.

Eliza would do anything for her sisters, even if it meant locking her heart away forever.

Writing Prompt: 30. Jamilton

“ So that’s it? It’s over?” -Marliza ( Was sent earlier and he meant Marliza)

“So that’s it? It’s over?“ 

Eliza looked up at the face of the one she loved. The face that brought her so much happiness, along with so much despair.

“I guess so Maria.” Eliza provided under her breath as she continued to pack her belongings in an overnight duffel bag. 

“I’m sorry,” Maria apologized in a quiet voice. Eliza gave a humorless chuckle, shaking her head. “Sorry for what exactly Maria? Sleeping with my sister? Lying to me about where you’ve been all these nights? Making me worry that you died in a ditch somewhere, only to have you arrive home with the stench of alcohol on you?” Her voice slowly got louder with every question, backing Maria into a corner.

Maria flinched away tears brimming in her eyes. “Eliza..Please.“ 

"I should have known you would do something like this, I pushed to the back of my mind because I love you too much. I thought I could change you, help you, but I guess old habits die hard, huh?”

Eliza stared down at her feet, tutting, “I guess once a whore, always a whore." 

Maria looked at the raven haired woman, the tears started to spill. Eliza promised she would never ever use her old past life against her. Her face turned red with anger.

Eliza instantly regretted what she said and looked up at her lover’s face ”..Mar-“ 

"Get out.”

Eliza reached out for her, trying to take back what she said.Maria maneuvered out of her ex’s reach.

“Get. Out. Now.”

Eliza picked up her bag, walking towards the front door.Maria looked at the raven hair leave out the door, praying it would flick back around and come back. Love her and apologize while whispering sweet nothings into her ear.

There was a slam that rattled the pictures on the wall. 

She didn’t turn around. It was truly over.

Maria crippled to the ground of the hallway floor , the sound of her sobs echoing in the now quiet house.

Little Homeworld Life chapter 6: A Fandom Divided (originally posted on September 19, 2022)

AN: For today's episode, shipping destroys lives! In other news, water is wet, chocolate chip cookies are awesome, and all companies do not care about anything other than money. Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself. As I foreshadowed last episode, this installment is literally just the Amphibia episode Civil Wart, except it's not a fan war fueled by sibling rivalry.

--

On a beautiful night in Little Homeworld, all the Gem inhabitants had gathered around a large projector screen that Lapis and Peridot set up for a movie night for everyone. "Face front true believers," Peridot theatrically announced. "for in just a few short moments; you shall bear witness to the greatest television program this planet has ever conceived!"

"Ooh, is it Challenge of Castles?!" Teal raised her hand. "That show is amazing!"

"No way, The Gandolfinis is way better!" Watermelon Tourmaline debated.

"I'm personally more a fan of Black and White Are The New Blue." Desert Glass commented. "I find myself really connecting with everyone being brutally imprisoned, for some reason."

"All of you, be quiet!" Peridot barked, stopping the argument before it could go too far. "Those shows are all great, but none can ever come close to the quality cinema that is Camp Pining Hearts! It's got everything you could ask for! Romance, drama!"

"Attractive humans getting into over-the-top situations," Lapis added. "Everyone getting mad at each other for stupid reasons. "

"And best of all, the single greatest shipping ever conceived by human brains, but we want it to be up to you!" Peridot declared before Pearl stepped on stage between her and Lapis.

"Thank you for the introduction, girls, but are you sure this is a good idea?" Pearl asked the duo. "I don't want everyone to start arguing which of these "ships" are superior to the point of getting toxic and harming each other. Like that one Crying Breakfast Friends fan-artist Steven really likes who was bullied into nearly committing suicide because she drew Sad Spoon to be too skinny."

"Oh, come on, Pearl, I'm sure this will be nothing like that incident!" Peridot answered while pushing Pearl away. "Now then, this episode, in particular, is considered to be the finest in all of Camp Pining Hearts, across both the amazing original series and its abysmal reboot!"

"It's called "Hunting Season" from Season 2, the best season in our eyes." Lapis continued. "Now, without further ado, let the show begin. Is it ready, Garnet?!"

"Ready and raring to go, Lapis." Garnet agreed as she turned the episode on and projected it onto the big screen.

"This is going to be so exciting!" Peridot muttered eagerly at the prospect of exposing her special interest to more and more Gems. "I can't wait for everyone to share my opinions!"

"Dude, not everyone will think the same way as you." Amethyst disagreed as she snacked on some popcorn. "You just gotta accept that everyone has different opinions."

"Yeah, like I refuse ever to accept that your ways are what's best for everyone." Black Rutile added snarkily.

"See, like her." Amethyst stated while gesturing to Black Rutile.

"Finally, one of you agrees with me!" Black Rutile sighed in delight. "Looks like I finally converted a Crystal Gem to my cause!"

"What? No." Amethyst corrected the Rutile. "I'm just using you as an example. It'll be a cold day in the Kindergarten before you brainwash anyone of us, though!"

"Spoilsport." Black Rutile pouted as the episode continued.

--

"Shh, be vewy, vewy quiet." A brown-clad hunter told the audience while tiptoeing through the forest. "I'm hunting for a deew. Ahahahaha." Just then, the hunter spotted a majestic white-tailed deer grazing in the distance and excitedly prepared his rifle. "Oh, a deew!" he exclaimed. "A femawe deew!"

Elsewhere, a handsome young man with brown hair was exploring the great outdoors with a spring in his steps and stars in his eyes. "Nature truly is a wonderful thing." Pierre muttered to himself with a dashing grin. "And I'm more than happy to experience it with dear friends like Percy." Just then, Pierre spotted a white-tailed deer peacefully grazing, unaware of the hunter ready to shoot it down with his rifle. "Oh no, that innocent doe is in trouble!"

"Come on, big guy, just stay wight whewe I want you to be." The hunter smirked to himself before he found Pierre racing into his line of sight. "Gadzooks! Boy, get out of dah way!"

"No, I won't let you hurt this innocent deer!" Pierre exclaimed as he got in front of the doe to protect it, only to be shot in his torso by the hunter and fell to the ground as the doe got spooked and ran away.

"Oh my, you okay thewe spowt?" the hunter frantically realized his error and raced to Pierre's aid. "I am so sowwy widdle boy, I was just doing my job, but then you got in the way!"

"I'm not little; I'm 16." Pierre groaned and revealed his age, which was way younger than the actor playing him. "Please, go to Camp Pining Hearts and find help. Please, my life depends on it!"

"Don't wowwy, I'll do what I can!" the hunter replied bravely and ran off to find help, leaving Pierre to lie there on the ground, blood staining his uniform as he tried not to give into his injuries.

"Come on, sir, hurry up." Pierre groaned in pain while trying to pluck the bullet from his abdomen when he heard footsteps. "Wow, that was fast."

"Pierre!" a blonde camper cried out as he raced to Pierre's side. "That hunter told me what happened! Are you all right?!"

"It's fine, Percy, now that you're here." Pierre weakly answered while gazing longingly into Percy's eyes. "I was out and about in the woods earlier when I found that a hunter was trying to kill this innocent deer. I was able to protect it, but now it seems like I might not have much time left."

"Don't worry, Pierre; I'll get you back to camp," Percy said as he began bridal-carrying Pierre and took him away from the forest clearing. "You're one of my best friends, Pierre."

"You too, Percy." Pierre grinned happily.

--

As the episode continued, the Gems were enraptured in the drama that ensued from Pierre's sacrifice, and even began crying when it seemed like he was going to die from the bullet wound. But thankfully, Percy was there to help Pierre every step of the way, and eventually, their bond was what saved Pierre from death in the cheesiest fashion imaginable. Peridot was utterly delighted to see such a standing ovation from the adoring audience that had just watched her favorite show and now was eager to ask what their thoughts were on it and whether they were as hardcore shippers of Percy and Pierre as she was.

"Thank you, thank you, everyone!" Peridot exclaimed as she got back up on stage. "It delights me so much to see everyone like the same things I do! This reminds me of one crucial question. After watching this episode, are you all Piercy shippers now?!"

"Meh, take it or leave it." Cat's Eye smugly answered while checking her manicure, inciting gasps from every other audience member. "I didn't really see any romantic tension between the two. I think they're more like brothers than lovers. Besides, Paulette deserves better from this fandom you speak of."

"You bite your tongue!" Teal Zircon yelled at Cat from the other side of the audience. "Pierre and Percy bring out the best in each other! Pierre learns how to be gentler around Percy, while Percy learns how to stand up for himself more from Pierre! They are the best CPH ship!"

"Oh, you just like them together because they're two cute human boys who think deserve to spend all of their screentime making out with each other!" Cat began bickering with Teal. "You keep assuming the worst about everything Paulette does, and she was barely even in this episode!"

"Now, let's settle down for a bit." Peridot tried to ease the tension between the arguing pair. "While yes, Pierre and Percy are the best pairing in Camp Pining Hearts, and Paulette has no place in the camp's hierarchy, that's no reason to start arguing with each other!"

"I told you so." Pearl nervously responded to Peridot in a sing-song voice as the conflict reached its boiling point.

"Everyone who ships Percy and Pierre, form up with me!" Teal commanded, followed by Orange Spodumene, the Watermelon Tourmalines, Doc, Leggy, Bixbite, Tiger's Eye, Yellow Pearl, Ocean Jasper, Crazy Lace, Chrysocolla, Serpentine, Grossular Diopside, Beryl, Holly Blue, Nephrite, Angel Aura Quartz, Zuli, Desert Glass, Morganite, and Navy all gathering up behind her.

"Is that so?" Cat's Eye purred. "Well, if you support Percy with Paulette, then join my side!" As she ordered, Army, Topaz, Monazite, Emerald, Demantoid, Pyrope, Blue Pearl, Volleyball, the Cubic Zirconias, Moonstone, Blue Chalcedony, Snowflake Obsidian, Larimar, Albite, Zebra Jasper, Biggs Jasper, Laz, Squaridot, and Cherry Quartz assembling beside her.

"Well, where do all of you stand?" Teal asked Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Peridot, Lapis, Bismuth, Black Rutile, and White Topaz as they were forced into the middle of this new conflict.

"Nope, I don't want to know where this is going!" Black Rutile declared as she got up and prepared to leave, only to come back moments later to speak with Cat's Eye. "But keep this up for as long as you can; it'll keep everyone distracted while I keep working on the Vortexxer."

"I think we're going to take a neutral stance here." Bismuth proclaimed. "This is an absolutely ridiculous reason to start fighting, so I suggest we find a way to end this peacefully before it all goes too far!"

"Me, personally, I find this to be a huge waste of time." Jasper added her opinions. "I mean, none of these humans are even real! Is there really any reason to obsess over the love lives of fictional characters?!"

"Okay, that I can agree with!" Black Rutile agreed with Jasper from afar. Suddenly, the two warring factions of shippers all began yelling as they marched away from the impromptu theater, leaving the Crystal Gems alone.

"I figured things would turn out like this." Garnet declared.

"You mean you knew this was going to happen and never told me?!" Peridot yelled. "Some leader you turned out to be!"

"Hey, chillax, everyone." Lapis said calmingly. "At least things can't get worse than this, right? Right?"

--

The next day, it got worse. Overnight, the entire town was split down the middle between Teal Zircon and the Gems who shipped Pierre with Percy, and the Gems who sided with Cat's Eye by shipping Percy with Paulette, leaving the Crystal Gems forced into the middle of the situation both figuratively and literally.

"It's ominous how much this echoes shipping debates on the Internet." Peridot mused in horror of what new spore of madness she had unleashed.

"But now it's in real life!" Lapis added, just as terrified.

"Were things on your Earth technology resolved with peace and kindness, perhaps?" Jasper asked sarcastically.

"Oh, far from it." Amethyst answered. "I mean, see for yourself!"

"Archers, fire your hateful fanfictions!" Teal commanded Crazy Lace, Serpentine, Nephrite, and Yellow Pearl before the four Gems launched stacks of paper from arrows at the Gems on the opposing side.

"Your fantasies are null compared to our superior writing skills!" Yellow Pearl barked at the enemy shippers.

"You call this superior writing skills?!" Albite exclaimed as she read through one of the fanfictions. "Everyone in this story is completely out of character for the sake of your sexual desires! And why is everyone so obsessed with feet all of a sudden?"

"Oh no, I fired the wrong one!" Yellow Pearl yelled in realization. "Quick, throw it back so I can burn it!"

"Too late; I'm gonna read this to everyone!" Albite laughed as she walked away to continue embarrassing Yellow Pearl.

"Really, you and the feet?" Serpentine asked a blushing Yellow Pearl.

"I just admire their complex anatomy, that's all!" Yellow Pearl tried lying her way out of an awkward situation before speed-walking away.

Meanwhile, on the Percy/Paulette side, Blue Pearl was hard at work on her latest masterpiece, which Volleyball had taken an interest in. "Oh hey, Blue, what are you working on?"

"Just this amazing Percy/Paulette fanart I've poured my heart into." Blue Pearl replied while showing off an immaculate painting of a romantic moment between the two CPH characters. "The lake symbolizes how the waters may be rough, but they will always have each other's backs. And the moon is evocative of how bright their future will be together."

"Oh, that is amazing symbolism!" Volleyball complimented the other Pearl's work. "And what about their big mustaches?"

"Their what?" Blue Pearl asked before she turned to discover that her precious artwork had been defaced. "Who could have done this to me?!" She immediately got her answer in the form of Doc and Leggy laughing raucously as they scampered off, indicating that they were the culprits. "You rotten, no good antis! I'll get you two for this!"

"We'd like to see you try without going over the line!" Doc cackled evilly while pointing at the line splitting Little Homeworld in two, proving to Blue Pearl that any hope of getting revenge was nonexistent.

"We have to find a way to resolve this without anyone getting seriously hurt!" Garnet declared. "Peridot, Lapis, I suggest you try getting the leaders to see reason first before everyone can agree to a truce, and we can reset everything to normal again."

"We won't let you down, Garnet!" Peridot saluted dutifully along with Lapis.

"I don't see this going horribly wrong." Lapis added before the two split up and took off for both sides of the war, Peridot marching towards Teal's side while Lapis strolled to meet with Cat's Eye.

"What if Lapis was right?" White Topaz asked worriedly. "What if this does go wrong? The two of them are freakishly powerful, so who knows what could happen?"

--

"This is the best thing that has ever happened to this good-for-nothing prison!" Black Rutile cheered as she, Aquamarine, and Eyeball watched the civil war between Teal and Cat from the comforts of Black Rutile's house as the trio continued work on the Vortexxer. "Everyone is so distracted by such a silly concept; they're all completely oblivious to what I have planned!"

"To be fair, my Rutile, they've been pretty oblivious for a while." Aquamarine said to her master. "I find it odd that no one has gotten at least some sort of a clue about what we're doing."

"Eh, best to keep it all a secret, it makes the eventual reveal all the more shocking." Eyeball said while snacking from a bucket of popcorn just as the door opened. "Oh hey kitty, we thought you were dead."

"Oh please, as if I'd die in these silly circumstances!" Cat boasted while perching herself upon the incomplete Vortexxer like a cat.

"Hey, get off! That's delicate equipment you're toying with!" Black Rutile commanded her feline crony to leave her project alone. "Now, give me a status report!"

"This little squabble has been tepid for the most part, but it's only a matter of time before everything explodes into full-on war!" Cat's Eye purred while turning the wall behind her into a scratching post. "Which reminds me, my Rutile, do you ship Percy with Pierre or Paulette? I do hope it's Paulette. Your tactical genius would be of great use to our cause!"

"I don't care either way!" Black Rutile answered as she continued work on the portal. "Like, they're not even real; why should we care so much about the love lives of those who don't even exist?"

"I certainly agree, my Rutile." Eyeball added. "It just makes no sense how obsessive humans get with fictional characters."

"Now, Ruby, no need to judge people for their opinions." Aquamarine jokingly chided her sidekick. "But really, this is all just one futile and stupid gesture."

"Darn, I was really hoping to get at least one of you in on this." Cat moaned in defeat. "But regardless, I still think we could be winning!" Just then, Cat heard a knock on Black Rutile's door. "Just a moment, I need to take this." She then stepped outside to see Cherry Quartz standing there. "What do you want?"

"One of the Crystal Gems wishes to speak with you." Cherry stated with a salute. "It's Lapis Lazuli."

"Oh, goody." Cat's Eye responded with a visible grimace. "Let me guess, are they trying to settle our war peacefully?"

"I believe so." Cherry stated. "Come, she says it's of the utmost importance."

"Well, she better make this quick." Cat said as she began following Cherry. "I got some fanfiction to do a dramatic reading of in an hour."

--

Meanwhile, in the domain of Teal Zircon and her Percy/Pierre shippers, Peridot had just arrived and was ready to make a stand against this madness so everyone could enjoy Camp Pining Hearts in peace. However, Teal's subordinates were all tough nuts for her to crack.

"HALT, WHO GOES THERE?!" the Watermelon Tourmaline duo yelled as they stood guarding the greenhouse Teal had made into her impromptu palace. "NOBODY GETS IN TO SEE THE GRAND SHIPPER OF PIERRE AND PERCY, NOT NOBODY, NOT NOHOW!"

"But I do ship them!" Peridot exclaimed. "Just let me in; I need to talk with Teal!"

"Oh, I see you are a Gem of culture as well. My mistake." The Watermelon Tourmaline fusion realized her error. "Let her in, Puffy. She's good people."

"Now that's a horse of a different color. Come on in." The other Watermelon Tourmaline said as the duo let Peridot pass into the greenhouse. The plants were still there, but now it was filled with Gems dressed in CPH cosplay acting out romantic scenarios between Percy and Pierre.

"But Pierre, I'm afraid we cannot be together!" Desert Glass dramatically stated. "I am in love with another person!"

"Who, who could this other person be?" Nephrite asked with equal amounts of cheese.

"It is my twin brother!" Desert Glass exclaimed, eliciting gasps of shock and excitement.

"Twin brother? Spicy!" Zuli muttered as she applauded the duo's act. "But not as spicy as the dog bit!"

"Where do they keep coming up with these lewd ideas?" Holly Blue agreed as Peridot awkwardly walked past the applauding audience to meet with Teal Zircon.

"Um, hello there." Peridot greeted her fellow shippers of Percy and Pierre. "Is Teal Zircon still here? I'd like to have a word with her about this conflict."

"Don't you worry, we'll grab her, and she'll be here in a jiffy." Serpentine answered politely as she raced to find their superior, who was busy snacking on grapes like a Roman emperor while Navy served as her footrest. "Um, Lord Teal, we have a visitor who wishes to meet with you."

"Send her in." Teal said with a mouth full of grapes as Peridot was shunted forward by Angel Aura Quartz and Crazy Lace. "I am Teal Zircon, the great and powerful!" she proclaimed loudly. "State your business or get out of my sight!"

"I came here to inform you that this conflict is utterly preposterous!" Peridot made her case against the shipping war. "Fandom is supposed to bring everyone together, no matter who they are or what they ship! Isn't that just as important as your OTP?"

Teal took some time to contemplate Peridot's question while continuing to munch on grapes before she came up with a question of her own. "You know, Peridot, your plea for peace makes me want to ask you something." She said. "What do you ship, little one?"

"Um, Percy and Pierre?" Peridot nervously replied. "I don't feel like this question will lead to anything good."

"On the contrary, it could lead to many good things!" Teal responded happily. "Join me, and together we can rule the Camp Pining Hearts fanbase as shippers in arms!"

"While I do admire that you're taking my earlier message of togetherness to heart, I don't think you're doing it right!" Peridot objected to TZ's offer. "The other Crystal Gems and I just wanted everyone to get along!"

"But now you can get along with us! What do you say?" Teal continued exhorting. "One of us, one of us! Gooble gobble, one of us!"

"We accept her, we accept her!" Teal's subordinates began chanting for Peridot to join them. "One of us, one of us!"

"Uh, I still don't know, you guys." Peridot responded awkwardly. "I mean, as I said, we all have different opinions, and we should respect them!"

"Oh, this is more than just a difference in opinions." Teal declared in response. "We will soon be at war with our enemies, and we need a Gem as smart as you to aid us in the coming battle! We would've recruited Black Rutile, but she rejected because this is utterly ridiculous."

"Can't believe I'm saying this, but she has a point!" Peridot continued debating with Teal. "You know what, fine! I'll join you only if you agree to stop this madness!"

"Don't you worry, Dottie, I'm a Gem of my word." Teal solemnly swore to Peridot while also crossing her fingers behind her back. "Now come with me. We have much to discuss." She then took Peridot by her tiny green hand and led her deeper into the greenhouse, where some more Gems had made a makeshift war room. "We must prepare for war."

--

As for Lapis, she had arrived at Cat's Eye's side of Little Homeworld, where the feline Gem ruled from atop the whirly-bird tower while being entertained by watching episodes of CPH where Percy was paired with Paulette, with her minions all huddled around the TV with her.

"Uh, hey, everyone." Lapis greeted the Percy/Paulette shippers, who all turned to look up at her flying above them. "I'm just here on the other Crystal Gems' orders to tell you all that this whole war is a huge waste of time, and we should respect everyone else's opinions and stuff."

"Let me guess, I suppose Peridot is off trying to convince the enemy the same thing?" Laz asked as her old friend touched down on the ground to confront Cat's Eye.

"Exactly." Lapis said to Laz before turning to Cat. "Please, Cat, I know you hate me for being a Crystal Gem, and I hate you because you're so unbelievably smug and obnoxious, but I want you to listen. This conflict sucks! I mean, going to war just because someone has a different opinion than you? That pettiness is only reserved for the Internet, not real life!"

"Oh please, you think this is like a cartoon where you can make everything better in just a few minutes flat?!" Cat scoffed at Lapis's plea. "You need to let it go, little girl. You are indeed correct that this is the real life, not just a fantasy!"

"Exactly, and it's time we face reality!" Lapis proclaimed. "People have different opinions, and we must respect that."

"Speaking of fantasies, I have a few of my own." Cat remarked seductively, making Lapis's breath shudder as she started blushing blue. "Now, it's not those kinds of fantasies, just FYI, just a little idea I've been having."

"What kind of idea?" Lapis asked sheepishly as Cat began using her feminine wiles to get her way.

"Oh, nothing much, just our own version of Hunting Season." Cat purred cheekily. "It's already a good episode, but I think more of Paulette would make it even better!"

"You mean we make a Percy/Paulette version of the episode?" Lapis realized. "What's in this for me, though?"

"Oh, you'll just be donating your creative skills to a good cause, of course." Cherry Quartz revealed, piquing Lapis's interest as she now began considering Cat's offer.

"So, you in?" Blue Chalcedony asked the terraformer.

"Fine, I'll do it." Lapis shrugged and shook Cat's hand. "But only if you don't go and declare war on the other side, okay?"

"Oh, cross my heart, my dearest aquatic angel!" Cat's Eye pinched Lapis's cheek with one hand while crossing her fingers behind her back with the others. "And even if we go to war, we'll win easily since we have not one, but two Lapis Lazulis on our side!"

"She's got that right." Laz agreed with Cat.

--

"Bad news, everyone, we lost our adorable duo." Bismuth declared to the Crystal Gems at the temple as she put down her phone. "Lapis has turned over to Cat's Eye's side while Peridot has been assimilated into Teal Zircon and her cronies. Oh, I can already imagine the hurt and betrayal that'll come from this!"

"They were supposed to help us stop this craziness!" Amethyst yelled furiously. "Now, what do we do?!"

"Easy, we terrify them into shutting up." Jasper suggested harshly while summoning her crash helmet.

"While that would be super effective, I'm not sure if we should be solving this with violence." White Topaz objected to Jasper's idea. "Anyone else got any bright ideas?"

"I got an excellent idea." Garnet proclaimed while presenting the Gems with Pearl sitting at a laptop. "The Internet started this, so we finish this with the Internet."

"As it turns out, one of the actors from Camp Pining Hearts has his own website where he answers fan questions." Pearl explained before turning the computer around to show a website dedicated to Edward Christian, the man who played Percy on Camp Pining Hearts. "If we ask him about this crisis, maybe he can help solve it."

"You really think he'll just find our question and answer it right on the spot?" Jasper retorted suspiciously as Pearl typed down a question for the actor to answer.

"Dear Edward Christian, my name is Pearl, and I am a Crystal Gem living in Beach City, Delmarva." Pearl read her question out loud as she typed. "I have some friends who are both huge fans of Camp Pining Hearts and are on opposite sides of a shipping war. Is there any way you can help solve this problem before it goes too far? Sincerely, Pearl."

"I like where this is going, but I'm sure he gets many questions daily." Amethyst said. "It might take ages before he notices us!" Just then, Pearl immediately got a response to her question to Edward, much to the Gems' shock given how fast he responded.

"So, might take ages, huh?" White Topaz smirked at Amethyst.

"Why didn't I ask for money?" Amethyst muttered in disappointment before Pearl began reading their answer.

"Dear Pearl, I am honored to know that you Gems are such fans of my work. I had a lot of fun as Percy on Camp Pining Hearts." Pearl read off the laptop. "This isn't the first time I've received a question about shipping, funny enough. I've even had to ban such questions from my site after the big Valentine's Day episode from Season 3, but I'll make an exception for fellow celebrities like you. How about tomorrow, my co-stars Bella Anastasia and Jacob Steele come down to Beach City to help you with your problem? Love, Edward."

"He even said love." Garnet said. "Such a nice man."

"Looks like all we have to do now is wait." Amethyst realized. "Does it say where he lives now?"

"Oh, how convenient!" Pearl cheered as she found Edward's bio. "It turns out he's still living in the Great North, so it should only take almost nine hours for him and his co-stars to reach us!"

"Well, at least we got time now." Jasper sighed in relief. "What should we do now?"

"I got an idea!" White Topaz suggested. "Anyone wanna binge Camp Pining Hearts with me? I'm getting close to the end of Season 3, so no spoilers!"

"I wonder how we can spoil a show we've barely seen any episodes of." Garnet mused to herself.

--

On the third day of the great shipping conflict of Little Homeworld, the two sides were just about ready to go to war. On one side, Teal Zircon and her horde of Percy/Pierre shippers were readying their weapons for the coming battle while Peridot mapped out potential strategies. On the other side, Cat's Eye's side was also preparing for war, but Lapis was feeling anxious about having to go against her lifelong friend and partner.

"Anything troubling you, my dear Lapis?" Cat purred as she batted her tail against Lapis's back to get the blue Gem's attention. "Oh, I get it! You're worried about what Peridot might think about you rooting for the enemy." She realized. "Well, there's one teensy-weensy, but ever so crucial little detail you had forgotten about. THIS IS WAR, AND PAST RELATIONSHIPS DON'T MATTER!"

"How should I know that?! I never fought in the rebellion!" Lapis yelled back at the lawyer. "Besides, you know that I got off on the wrong foot with Peridot when we were told to become friends!"

"Well, it looks like you have no choice but to do that all over again!" Cat replied without a shred of empathy for Lapis. "And in the meantime, I got you a new Peridot who will agree with everything you say!" She then presented Lapis with Squaridot that she pulled from the sides. "Say hi, Squaridot!"

--

Meanwhile, Peridot watched the confrontation between Lapis and Cat with a pair of binoculars, and to say she felt absolutely betrayed would be selling her heartbreak short. "So this is how Lapis repays me after all we've done together?" she mutters tearfully. "Just going to abandon me in favor of shipping Percy with that witch Paulette?!"

"Always sad to see someone go, isn't it?" Teal Zircon declared solemnly as she appeared behind Peridot. "But then again, you did interrogate her for info on the Crystal Gems a long time ago, so maybe she considers this karma."

"That was ages ago; we were past that!" Peridot yelled at Teal. "I'm sure by the time we win this war; everything will go back to normal like nothing happened, right?"

"I'm not too sure about it." Teal answered. "A betrayal of that magnitude is bound to be remembered for ages to come. Not even forgiving and forgetting can fix that in a pinch."

"I'd never expect someone like you to say that." Peridot replied. "Usually, you'd have some kind of adorable one-liner or unknowingly insensitive remark up your sleeve. What's gotten into you these past few days?"

"I've become very passionate about shipping thanks to you." Teal bluntly revealed. "Now come! We ride!"

--

"Oh, come on, where are those actors?" Pearl nervously asked as she impatiently paced around Little Homeworld, hoping for a miracle. "Edward said he'd be here today, but he's still taking forever!"

"Just be patient, Pearl." Garnet implored the ex-servant. "Besides, it's not like we have much time left. Look!" Garnet then pointed towards the Warp Pad, where the two warring ships were having an epic stand-off, an ominous calm washing over Little Homeworld as the war was about to begin.

"So, it looks like we had the same idea, Peridot." An equally betrayed Lapis coldly said to Peridot.

"It wasn't my intention; they made me join!" Peridot cried out. "They had a really catchy chant too."

"I was convinced because they thought I'd be useful in making their own version of Hunting Season." Lapis responded. "If you join our side, we can work on it together and be friends again."

"Enough talk!" Teal cut the barn mates' conversation short. "Now is the time for what everyone came here for."

"Oh, I couldn't agree more." Cat's Eye meowed while drawing her riding crop. "CHARGE!"

"COURAGE!" Teal replied as the two Gems' respective forces clashed in an all-out battle, while the Crystal Gems, Black Rutile, Aquamarine, and Eyeball all watched from the sidelines.

"Ooh, this is gonna get good!" Amethyst laughed before she pulled out some popcorn to eat while gazing at Eyeball's bucket. "I'm not sharing this."

"Good, I wasn't planning on sharing either." Eyeball responded.

"Oh, how I missed the senseless violence between so-called friends." Black Rutile sighed nostalgically.

"You're just saying that because one of your minions is leading a side!" Bismuth said in response. "And besides, isn't another one of them on the Percy/Pierre side?"

"Does it matter?" Black Rutile smirked as the Crystal Gems and the Rutile Rebels watched the carnage begin.

The Watermelon Tourmalines bounced everywhere as they worked together to crush their opponents. Desert Glass formed turrets out of the sand to fire upon the various quartzes. Beryl scampered across the battlefield to take her opponents by surprise and tickle them into submission. Nephrite was engaged in a catfight against Chrysocolla. Holly Blue swung her electric whip around to gain some distance from her foes. Army was pitted against all three of the other Rubies on the enemy side in a wrestling contest. Serpentine pounced on her foes while Grossular Diopside rode on her back. Yellow Pearl was all alone against Volleyball and Blue Pearl. Laz and Zuli were facing off once again, with tidal waves being summoned to take each other down. Bixbite tried cutting down the ice barrier Larimar and Snowflake Obsidian put up to protect Demantoid and Pyrope from harm. Emerald swung her club in Orange Spodumene's face, knocking her to the ground. Topaz, Monazite, Blue Chalcedony, Albite, the Cubic Zirconias, and Squaridot all worked together to keep their allies safe in the heat of battle. But at the center of it all was the epic clash between Teal & Peridot and Cat & Lapis.

"You just can't admit that you never cared for Percy and Pierre as characters!" Cat's Eye yelled while whipping away at Teal. "You don't want representation; you just think they should be a couple just because of how close they are!"

"And you just can't see Paulette for how abhorrent a character she is!" Teal responded while clashing with Cat using a makeshift sword. "She's an utter parasite who leeches off every other character because the writers love ensuring she's in the right all the time!"

"That is not true; you're desperate to see boys kissing!" Cat yelled back.

"You're better than this, Lapis; you must fight it!" Peridot urged her blue-hued partner. "Remember all the good times we shared watching CPH!"

"Well, the good times are over!" Lapis replied, yelling as she prepared to land the finishing blow when suddenly, a car horn honked, stopping the war cold.

"Who could possibly be interrupting our grand battle?!" Albite yelled before the car door opened, and out came Edward Christian, the actor behind Percy from Camp Pining Hearts.

"You know, when I was told there was a shipping war going on here, I did not expect a literal war." Edward dryly remarked before he was joined by his CPH co-stars, Bella Anastasia and Jacob Steele.

"Oh my goodness, you're finally here!" Pearl squealed in excitement as she charged towards the three celebrities and trapped Edward in a tight hug. "Saints be praised; please put an end to this madness!"

"Let me guess; this is about Percy, Pierre, and Paulette?" Jacob smirked before looking at the formerly warring Gems, now frozen in shock. "I should've known."

"Uh, hello there, alien fans." Bella waved to the Gems, who immediately stopped what they were doing and began hoarding around the trio.

"I can't believe it, Percy and Pierre in the flesh!" Holly Blue began frothing at the mouth in amazement before collapsing.

"Tell us, are you aware of how much everyone hates Paulette?!" Morganite asked.

"Can you sign this for me?!" Beryl shrieked eagerly as she presented her forearm to the trio.

"Calm down, everyone, one at a time!" Edward settled every Gem down. "Now, your Crystal Gem friends have called us today because they noticed a serious problem with you guys."

"Yeah, they just won't accept that not every pair consisting of a male and a female have to be a couple!" Teal said with an accusing finger towards Cat's side.

"And they won't realize the sexual tension between Pierre and Percy!" Cat added with a claw pointed at Teal.

"Oh goody, just as I feared." Bella rolled her eyes in annoyance before she turned to her male co-stars with a smirk. "Want to break out the secret weapon, boys?"

"I'll go first." Edward smiled before revealing a wedding ring on his finger. "As most of you may not know, I'm a married man. Can you guess to who?"

"It's Jacob, obviously!" Peridot declared. "If the actors aren't married, then it's obviously queerbaiting!"

"No, queerbaiting is when they advertise actual same-sex relationships only to not follow through with it!" Lapis objected. "Not getting mad whenever your favorite gay ship isn't made canon!"

"Oh, how wrong you are." Bella proclaimed as she and Jacob revealed wedding rings of their own. "All three of us are married to each other! We got hitched not too long ago after a reunion special."

"No way, you three are married?!" White Topaz's eyes widened in surprise and delight.

"I'll admit, I didn't see that coming at all." Garnet added, just as shocked that her future vision couldn't even predict what she had just heard.

"Oh, if all three of them are married, then I guess there's no point to this!" Teal exclaimed as she and Cat's Eye turned to each other and shook hands. "Let's all be friends again!"

"Oh yes, friends!" Cat sneered as the two sides united as friends once more, completely forgetting about the heartbreak, the betrayal, the strife, and especially the sheer insanity of the situation.

"Sorry I took this too far, Peri." Lapis nervously apologized to Peridot. "I'll admit it; I had no idea what I was thinking when we decided to go to war."

"Me neither." Peridot responded just as awkwardly. "Are we still friends, even if we have different opinions?"

"Sure, even though I don't really have any strong opinions on ships whatsoever." Lapis answered warmly before the two Gems hugged.

"Yep, polyamorous marriage works like a charm when you want to stop ship wars." Jacob grinned with his hands on his hips before turning to the Crystal Gems. "Thanks for inviting us here, Crystal Gems. You got a really colorful bunch of friends here, no pun intended."

"The pleasure is all ours." Garnet nodded. "You're free to come back anytime."

"We'd love to stay and do a little meet and greet, but we gotta get going." Ed said as he walked over to the rental car he and his partners used to reach Little Homeworld. "Come on, guys, let's rock and roll!"

"On second thought, I don't see us leaving anytime soon." Bella admitted as she peeked under the hood of the car. "The engine's been stolen!"

"What, but how?! And who?!" Jacob yelled as he rushed to the car, seeing the large gap where the engine should be. "And how did they steal it without any of us noticing?!"

"Well, at least you got more time to spend here." Peridot said to the three actors. "How does that meet and greet sound?"

"Eh, I got nothing better to do today." Edward shrugged. "Okay, who's up for autographs?!" The Gems all eagerly raised their hands as Edward began signing Camp Pining Hearts posters to hand out to everyone, uniting them all in their love for the series as Peridot had intended. However, the identity of the car engine thief was still a mystery to everyone, even though the thief in question had dark designs for the engine.

--

"The Crystal Gems have given me the perfect chance to add another ingredient to the Vortexxer's construction!" Black Rutile laughed maniacally as she put the car engine down on the floor. "Quick, someone help me hook this up!"

"Got it!" Eyeball exclaimed as she used a pair of jumper cables to connect the engine to the unfinished portal, causing the machine to briefly spark to life. "I can't believe it; I saw a light! That has to mean something good, right?"

"Indeed, we're almost finished." Black Rutile declared pridefully with her arms akimbo as she gazed at the soon-to-be-finished portal. "Just need to keep biding our time. I don't care who gets in our way! I don't care what it takes! Whatever is on the other side will finally help me win!"

--

Talk about a rather dark note to end this escapade on, huh? Black Rutile has another important piece of the Vortexxer acquired now, but it's going to take a little while for her to find a way to fix what flaws the original version had. But until then, it's back to some goofy fun times for all, starting with a little lifeguard fanservice for me. Yes, I'm going there, and I have no regrets!

THE LAST PERFORMANCE (Breathtaking)

Jasmine Cephas Jones x reader

Summary: Everything that happened with Jaz while rehearsing for the Last performance of the hamilton show.

Word Count: 2573

Warnings:None

A/N: I have no idea what i was doing. Just read it. It’s not so bad 

You were waiting in the backstage for the cast to arrive. You were the first one to get there, but that was part of your job. Well, no job, but part of being a good friend for especially for Lin. If it wasn’t for him, you wouldn’t be here. You met him two years ago when you were returning to your house drunk. You couldn’t walk and he offered to help you. Of course, you were suspicious and were about to call the police, but you recognize him. You were a big musical geek, after all. He drove to your house and make sure you had entered. The next morning he texted you to make sure you were fine (you were completely numb about how he got your number). You became friends and then he became like a big brother to you, always making sure you were good.

However, today was about him and the cast. Today was going to be the last performance of the Hamilton show and you were there to help them with everything they needed. When the Hamilton cast decided to reunite to perform for the last time, you knew you had to get the tickets, they started to sell them 1 year before and you figured you could buy them with no problem, but boy you were wrong. They were insanely expensive, of course, it wouldn’t be a problem if you asked Lin, but you wanted to get it like everyone else. Eventually, two months later, you realised you couldn’t afford them in a million years and the only option was asking him. When you told him, he looked surprised and asked you why you didn’t ask him in the first place, but then, with a sad face, he told you he couldn’t give it to you. You were about to cry when you heard him laugh. You looked at him with a confused face.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Well, because you believed that I couldn’t give you tickets…” You were more confused. So… was he going to give you the ticket?

“So, you are going to give me the ticket?” You said. Your voice was more of a whisper, you really wanted to be there.

“Well, of course, y/n! Everything for you.” He said kissing you in your forehead.

“Thanks, Lin. Thank you soooooo much. Really, thank you.” You were so excited. So happy. Hamilton changed your life. And getting to know Lin, too. He was such a genius. He was your inspiration. “What can I do to make it up for you?”

“Well, nothing” He said “I’m doing this, because you are important for me and Vanessa” You gave him a look that you were not changing your mind and he laughed “Ok, ok. If you insist, you can help us in rehearsals. You know, to check us and telling how it’s going”

You looked at him. You wanted to do more, but you also knew that he wasn’t going to give in. “Ok, Lin.”

He called you two months later, reminding you that the rehearsals were going to start. And one day before they were, to be sure.

“Hey, y/n. I’m calling to remind you that tomorrow-”

“Yes, Lin, I know. Rehearsals. Don’t worry, I’m going to be there.”

“Yeah, but remember you don’t have to. It’s too early and you might need to rest.”

“No, Lin. You are not going to change my mind. I’m going to help. Besides, it’s been a while a haven’t seen the cast and I miss them”

“Ok. You can be late though.” You laughed at what he said and hang up.

You started to think. It was true. You really missed the cast. They were like your family. They’d always joked about how you were their child. Not everyone, though. Anthony and Jasmine said they were too young to have kids. Anthony and Jasmine. Jasmine. Since the first time you laid eyes on her, you knew you liked her. She was so beautiful, so breathtaking. Every time she smiled your heart grew. You were just friends, of course. Nothing was ever going to happen between you. She was with Anthony after all.

The next day you went to the theatre, a bit flustered. You had thought of Jaz all night. In her smile. In her curls when she had long hair and how it fit her face when she had it short. You waited outside for a moment unsure to get inside. You still had Jaz in your mind and even though she was your friend just like Anthony, it hurt a little when you saw them together. They were perfect for each other. Everyone knew that. You knew that. You were still thinking about it when you felt a hand in your shoulder, you turned quickly and saw a freckled face with a smile on it.

“Y/n!” He said. “How long was it? Are you going to help us?” You smiled and before you could answer a voice cut you off.

“You knew that’s the reason, Anthony” Jaz came from behind him and hug you. You felt your stomach jump. She pulled apart and look at you. She was beautiful, with her short hair.

“I wanted y/n to tell me.” Ant reply with a harsh tone. “Anyway, I’m going inside” You frowned as he entered and looked at Jaz.

“Things are not going to well, lately.” She said with a shrugged and a sad face. You looked at her, not knowing what to say. You just gave her a sympathetic look. She walked past you and stood there with no idea of what to do. “You are not coming?” You turned and nodded. She winked and get inside. You felt your breath been taken away.

The next 6 months were exhausting. You had no idea, how difficult it was going to be. You had been in many plays in high school, but it was completely different. Every day you saw the amount of work and effort everyone put in. The cast trying to remember the old steps and learning the new ones. Meanwhile, they were planning the lights so the choreography would look more incredible, and the dressing people were making up new costumes, so they could be flexible at the time the cast were dancing, especially for the ensemble. Also, it was an emotional rollercoaster, with all the stress of making the last performance perfect, everyone was at the edge. Screaming and apologies later at all hours. The most uncomfortable were the ones between Anthony and Jasmine. They would fight and not talk for days. When that happened, you would spend more time with Jaz. She talked to you about how she wanted to things be different. You would listen to her, while staring at her, absorb in every word she would say. You suspected Anthony knew about your feelings, after all, he had caught you staring more than you should at his girlfriend. He didn’t say anything about it, but you knew he knew. And he knew that everyone knew they would eventually break up in any moment. You were sad for them, even though your feelings for Jaz. You remember them as the most loving couple, but apparently, when love starts to fade there’s nothing you could do. That day, eventually came, 3 months before the last performance. They came to the theatre in different times, with sad faces. You approached to Anthony first, to asked him how he was doing.

“I’m fine. I mean, I’m not fine, but it’s for the best. We both know we are not the ones we are supposed to be with” He said. His stare was deep, like he wanted to tell you something more, but decided against it. You approached to Jaz then, she was looking down. You put a hand in her shoulder a move her slightly.

“Jaz? How are you?”

“I’m fine, y/n. I’m fine.” Her voice was shaking, you hug her and she pulled apart. “Don’t. I’m sorry, but I need time to think. It’s better if we don’t talk each other for a while” You looked at her and nodded. You felt the air leaving your lungs and everything was dark for a second. Why she didn’t wanted to talk to you? You turned around and left.

Now, news travel fast. Everyone knows that, so nobody was surprised when an article about the break up appear, but everyone was surprised of the extra information no one knew.

 BROADWAY ORIGINAL CAST MEMBERS ANTHONY RAMOS AND JASMINE CEPHAS JONES BREAK UP

We were shocked when he heard the news. We all want it to be a joke, but it isn’t. The couple Janthony broke up after a long relationship, lefting us heartbroken. We know that you wanted all the details of the breakup and lucky for you, a near friend from the couple told us a few things that has being going on for the last few months. “They were having trouble, always fighting. Every time more instense than the last one. It all started when Ant realised Jaz was having feelings for another person. She didn’t admit it, but Ant is no fool. So the fights started. All Jaz did was denying it, but everyone who saw her and this person would realise it. They are only friends, but it’s only matter of time before they are together. ” So now we are left with the question, who is this lucky person who made Jasmine Cephas Jones break up with Anthony Ramos who had a beautiful relationship with?

 The weeks until the last performance, all you did was hard working, you helped the cast with everything they needed, besides Jaz who wasn’t talking to you. You wonder about it. After the article came up, she hadn’t even look at you. You could tell she was avoiding you, but why? You looked at her, smiling while talking to Pippa. You let yourself imagine you were the lucky person she had feelings for, but then you remember Anthony and stopped.

“Just give her time.” You turned and found Lin who was looking at you, you frowned at what he said. “Jaz. Just give her time”

“What you are talking about?” You asked.

“Well, everyone knows you like her, and we are pretty sure she likes you too, so just give her time”

“Whaaat? No… I- I don’t-” He gave you a knowing look “Well, maybe a little…”

“Yeah, of course.” He said mockingly. “You know, you don’t need to worry about Anthony, he is glad is you and no another person”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, at first he was a bit upset, but then he realised that you were meant to be and started to ship you and making plans so you could be together. Of course, Jaz is not making it easy with all that no-talking-no-feelings thing” He said before turning and leaving.

You thought about what he said. It was true. Anthony didn’t talk to you after they broke up, but one moment to another he started to talk to you and following wherever you go. He once tricked you to go to the theater roof, where you found Jasmine, but she just looked at you and left in a hurry.

 You remember all that waiting for them to arrive. You looked outside and you saw a sea of people, everyone trying to get the last tickets, which were even more expensive than the first months. You tried to focus. Today was about Lin and the cast. The cast. Jasmine. You cursed yourself and sit on the floor. You would do anything to be with her now, but she wasn’t making it easier for you. You looked at the ground and turned when you heard the door opened. There she was. Breathtaking as always. You locked eyes for a moment before she looked away.

“Hey” She said “You came early”

“Yeah, I figured you needed all the help possible” You answered.

“Well, then you could help me get in my costume, before anyone else” She said with a blush. You get inside her dressing room and close the door. You still looked at her, but she wasn’t looking at you. She was avoiding you. Why? You thought.

“What?” She said.

“What?”

“You asked why”

Oh. Well, better take this opportunity, you told yourself. You decided it was time to know everything

“Why were- ARE you avoiding me?” You could see her get nervous. You knew she would try to deny it, but you were having it. “Don’t deny it, Jaz. Just tell me why.”

“I- I-” She cleared her throat. She sat in her chair and took a deep breath. “It’s you”

“It’s me what?”

“It’s you I have feeling for” She said. You could feel your heart stop. Oh my god. It was you. You were the lucky person. “And I wish we could be together, but I know we are only friends, and I figured that maybe the best way to get rid of these feelings were if I just stop talking to you, but of course it didn’t work. I don’t even know why I thought it’d work in the first place-”

“Jaz, I have feelings for you too” You interrupted her. She looked at you and stood up “I don’t only have feelings for you. I’m in love with you. I love you” You let yourself say. It didn’t matter if it was ‘too early’ you loved her. Since the first time you laid eyes on her, you knew you loved her.

“I love you too, y/n.” She came near you. You could feel her heat as she approached to you. As she cupped your face into her hands and leaned closer. You could feel your breath been taken again as she brush her lips with yours. She pulled apart, looking at you. You smiled and she smiled back. You took her waist and pull her closer, filling the empty space between you. You kissed her and everything around you seemed to disappear. It was just the two of you. Her soft lips on yours, her hands in shoulders and yours in her waist around her. Your foreheads touching. It felt right. It was right.

“Well, finally….” You turned surprised to look at the person who talk. Anthony was leaning on the door arch with a smile in his face. Next to him was Lin you had his phone in his hand as he was trying to take a picture. The rest of the cast was there too smiling and giggling. “I told you my plan was going to work, Lin”

“Sure, Ant” He said smiling. “Well, we are happy for you, but it’s show time and we need to get ready” He turned around and left. Everyone else gave you thumps up and whistled, before leaving.

“Well, I guess I’m leaving you alone” Ant said before winking and closing the door.

“Oh my god, there is no privacy here!” Jaz said laughing. “Anyway where were we?”

“I was helping you with the dress”

“No! y/n!” She whined “We were kissing!”

“True, but you need to get ready for the show” You said “After that, we can kiss how many times we’ll want”

She looked at you and smiled. You looked at her, smiling. She nodded and gave you a quick kiss. It was so breathtaking. Just like her.

We’re Going to be Parents

Pairing: Pippa x Reader

Request: “can you do a phillipa x female reader where the reader has a big role on a movie (im thinking it part 2), and she faints and she gets a call from one of her co-stars telling her to get to the hospital. turns out they had been trying to get pregnant via sperm donor and it took- and they have a little babie on the way 🥺❤👉👈 and the hamilton cast gets so excited for them.” - @labellapeaky

Word Count: 1.1k

Warnings: Detailed description of passing out/fainting.

“Hey Y/N, are you alright? We can take a break so that you can have a few minutes” I heard my director say. I had been cast in a new movie that coming out. However, today I hadn’t been feeling the best. I was feeling really dizzy and light-headed. I figured I was just dehydrated, so I’d been drinking tons of water, hoping that would fix it.

“No no no, I’m good. I promise” I reassured the director. “Alright, if you say so. Action” the director called out.

“Tanya, we have to do something about this, we can’t just sit around and do nothing” my costar, Rachelle, said, starting the scene. “I know we do, but is this really our only option? There has to be a better option, right?” I recited my line.

I felt very weak, I could feel my legs start to shake underneath me. Rachelle was saying her next line, but I couldn’t hear it. Everything started to sound mumbled. It felt like the room was spinning. I couldn’t hear what was happening, I just heard ringing.

Rachelle stepped toward me and grabbed my arms to hold me up. She asked me a question, but I couldn’t tell what she was saying. My eyelids started to feel heavier and heavier and then everything went black.

I heard a distant beeping sound. Over and over and over again. Slowly, I opened my eyes and tried to figure out where I was and what was beeping.

The room was very bright and it took my eyes a second to adjust. I saw white walls and a monitor next to me. Then, I recognized that I was in a hospital room. I looked over and saw Pippa sitting in a chair, next to me. Pippa was my long term girlfriend and the love of my life.

“Hey, you’re awake” she said, looking up from her book. She set the book down and grabbed my hand. “What’s going on?” I asked her confused. “You fainted at work. They’ve been running all sorts of tests to figure out what happened. I was so worried when Rachelle called me. All I heard was hospital and I panicked. I’m glad you’re okay though” she said, kissing the back of my hand.

There was a knock at the door and we both looked over and saw the doctor in the doorway. “Look who's awake” he said, walking into the room. “Doctor, do you what happened?” Pippa asked him.

“We ran brain imaging and a bunch of tests and we know that you don’t have a concussion or anything other serious issues” the doctor explained. “But why did Y/N pass out? She’s never fainted before” Pippa asked.

“Well we ran another test, just as a precaution really. But we found out that Y/N is pregnant. Fainting during the first trimester is really common, so it’s nothing to worry about. Just be careful and don’t over exert yourself” the doctor said, leaving the room and closing the door on his way out.

I was so stunned, I didn’t know how to react. I had never been more happy in my life. It didn’t feel real, but I seemed to have forgotten how to move or speak.

Pippa and I had been trying to get pregnant for a while, through a sperm donor. We hadn’t had any success yet, and we were starting to get discouraged. Apparently it had worked though. I was actually pregnant.

“You’re...you’re pregnant” Pippa said, seeming to be in as much shock as I was. “I can not believe this, we finally have a baby” I said, smiling.

Pippa stood up and planted a kiss on my lips. We both pulled away and leaned our foreheads against each other’s. “A baby, this is big” I whispered. “Really big, but I’m so excited. We’re finally gonna be mommas” Pippa said, with a huge grin on her face.

“Now you’re going to have to go to the store and buy me all of my weird pregnancy craving foods” I said, giggling. “Nothing would make me happier” she said, kissing my forehead.

I heard Pippa’s phone ding and she quickly glanced at it. She smiled to herself. “There’s some people here to see you” she said, smiling. She walked over to the window that looked into the hallway and opened the blinds.

I saw the entire Hamilton cast standing outside the window. Pippa and I had met being apart of the Hamilton cast and we were all a big family.

They all waved to me and blew me kisses. I just giggled to myself, I loved them all so much. I waved back at them.

“Tell those dorks to come in” I told Pippa, laughing. She walked over to the door, opened it, and invited them in.

“How’s our rockstar doing?” Renée asked, walking over to my side. “I’m doing pretty good, what are all you guys doing here? You didn’t have to come” I told them.

“As soon as Pippa said you were at the hospital, we all dropped everything and came as fast as we could” Daveed explained. “We had to make sure that you’re okay, champ” Lin said, smiling at me.

“So what are the doctors saying?” Jasmine asked. “Well we have some news” I said, mysteriously. “Y/N’s pregnant” Pippa announced.

They all looked very shocked and then all of their shocked expressions turned into faces of joy.

“Congratulations you two” Renée said, giving me a hug. “Wait, I can’t believe this. The sperm donation worked? I’m so happy for you guys” Jasmine said.

Then the doctor walked back in the room. “I’m going to have to ask that you only have three people in the room at a time” the doctor said.

“You guys can’t even go to a hospital without breaking the rules” I joked. “Well I should get going, but I’m really happy for you guys” Daveed said, giving me a hug. “Yeah, you guys can all go, Jasmine and I can stay in case you guys need anything” Anthony proposed.

“Thank you all for coming” I said, as everyone gave me a hug. Jasmine grabbed a chair and sat down next to the bed. “I’m going to go and try to find a vending machine, do you guys need anything?” Anthony asked.

“No, I’m good. What about you Y/N, you need anything?” Pippa asked me. “Do you think you could hunt down a nurse and get me an extra blanket? It’s freezing in here” I asked Anthony. “Your wish is my command” he said, as he left the room.

“So you guys are going to be parents” Jasmine said, smiling. “We’re going to be parents, that still doesn’t sound real” I said, smiling at Pippa.

happy birthday crossfire!

Today is the birthday of my favorite fanfiction of all time, crossfire by kittebasu!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/10693503/chapters/23683296

Here's a playlist of songs that remind of crossfire, either lyrically or musically. It's my small love letter to this story and to kitten's writing. This story made me feel a lot of things I haven't felt that strongly pretty much ever, and I'm really thankful that I found it in the point in my life that I did.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4gRHNv9twmae4HxIKLguG1

I've described my reasons for picking each song here, but please don't look if you don't want spoilers, since plot events will be referenced!

BEGINNING (PINING AND FIRST LOVE)

Mostly sappy love songs with a bit of sadness to them.

I Never Planned on You/Don't Come a-Knocking - Jeremy Jordan (Newsies Original Broadway Cast)

Cynical boy gives in to all of his sappy feelings!! I'm here for this in general, and especially for Miyuki

So Close - Jon McLaughlin

Absolutely one of my favorite songs of all time. Terribly tender and terribly sad.

You Are In Love - Travis Atreo (Taylor Swift cover)

One of my favorite parts of crossfire is watching Miyuki slowly, slowly admit his feelings to himself!

Helpless - Phillipa Soo (Hamilton Original Broadway Cast)

Fallin' in love wheeeeeee

So This Is Love - Ilene Woods and Mike Douglas (Cinderella)

Can't Help Falling in Love  - Ingrid Michaelson

I also like the twentyonepilots version and of course the original :)

MIDDLE (SEPARATION)

Bite the Hand - boygenius

"I can't love you how you want me to"

Not This Day - Stick and Poke

Oh boy this song used to make me cry buckets after my first breakup. It revolves around a breakup that is terribly difficult, but is seen as the right thing to do.

Rivers and Roads - The Head and the Heart

Our Apartment - Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties

Sweater Song - Hedley

I Won't Give Up - Washington University Stereotypes (a cappella cover of Jason Mraz)

Warm warm warm voices!

Your Old Coat - Paperwork

The first song I ever saved to Spotify! In particular, the lines "such big plans we had," "so this is all I that have left, your old clothes and your old desk," and "this house is far too cold to be a home, there's a certain kind of silence that these walls have never known" really lined up with my experience of the period where Miyuki's alone in San Francisco

Dear Jamie…Sincerely Me - Hellogoodbye

Following the trend, one of my oldest and most treasured songs. All about trying to send someone your feelings over a long distance, like the boys do with their plants.

END (LOVE)

I See the Light - Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi (from Tangled)

The thing I love most about their relationship is how warm it is, and warm is my favorite word to describe this song. It's also, y'know, about someone/something you never thought you could or would have, and how it changes your life.

Finding Something to Do - Hellogoodbye

"as long as there's something to see, I'll see it with you"

SAWAMURA

Make You Feel My Love - Adele

Crossfire!Sawamura would do, and does do, absolutely anything to make Miyuki feel loved, and it's so lovely.

Hanshin Tigers no Uta - Yuuji Koseki and Meisterbrass Quartet

I couldn't find Rokko Oroshi in cheer-song format on Spotify, but I thought Sawamura might like this version too.

MIYUKI

I Don't Like Love Songs, But I Like You - Stick and Poke

Miyuki's not good at saying "I love you" in a normal way, and that's one of the things I love most about crossfire. You really get to feel his love and care, even through his insults and his poking and his prodding! I often get annoyed with Miyuki's personality when it feels like he's going to far, but crossfire!miyuki is like? Annoying and obnoxious in a really lovely way which I don't know how to describe

I Wanna Get Better - Bleachers

Sawamura is a catalyst for Miyuki to "get better" and make positive changes in so many areas of his life

BONUS

Here are all the songs that don't really fit in musically, but the lyrics relate in some way that I found amusing!

Legally Blonde - Legally Blonde OST

Feeling forced to leave because of a situation out of your control. Also, just Emmett singing "cuz you know that I'm so much in love" .

October - Eric Whitacre

To me, this song has always been about the changing of the seasons, both good and bad. Warm, beautiful, a little overwhelming.

Stronger than You - Estelle (from Steven Universe)

Miyuki! And! Eijun! Are stronger ! Together !

I hope you enjoy this playlist! crossfire means a lot to me, and I think that snuck its way into the fact that a lot of my favorite songs now remind me of crossfire, or vice versa.

four o’clock

pairing: Phillipa Soo/Reader

word count: 985

warnings: high school au, like one swear word

summary: (Y/N) is a good girlfriend. Pippa takes advantage of that.

a/n: i’m sleep deprived and wrote this in 15 minutes, give or take. keep that in mind before you decide how shitty this is

(Y/N) drummed her fingers on her thigh as she gazed out the window. The bus would roll over a pothole every so often and it would always elicit a squeal from the young woman’s mouth. Never before had she been so embarrassed while on public transit. Well, there was that one time where she had fallen down and...nope, some memories deserved to stay repressed.

Her eyes looked back down at her phone which was still displaying the text she had received only seventeen minutes ago. A smile formed on her face as she read and reread the contact name. It was a mushy pet name that she often called her significant other- if she was anyone else, she would believe the fluffy nickname to be revolting, but (Y/N) had always been a hopeless romantic.

Thankfully, so was the person she was dating.

Apparently, she was needed at her school as soon as possible. She didn’t know why since her partner had refused to elaborate on why (Y/N) just had to go to school on a Saturday. However, wanting to be the best girlfriend in the world, the girl complied and got on the first bus that had passed by her house. Had she even remembered to take her keys? Would her bus pass have enough money on it for another ride back home? Why was she even needed?

Those questions were pushed to the back of her mind as the bus neared the stop that was closest to her school. She pushed herself up and out of the uncomfortable transit seat and made her way to the doors. After giving a cheery farewell to the bus driver, she practically hopped out of the vehicle and skipped toward the large building she spent most of her time at.

The familiar tone of an incoming text floated through the air as her phone vibrated in her pocket. She assumed it was simply her partner asking if she was at the required destination yet. Already knowing which room she needed to go to, (Y/N) ignored the message and continued to walk throughout the mostly empty corridors. She had to move to the side a few times as the track team ran through. Getting run over by sweaty athletes was definitely not how she wanted to go out.

401 - Music. (Y/N) pushed the wooden door open and stepped inside the room. She shivered a bit and noticed how much colder it was inside here. Someone must have left the air conditioners on all night, she assumed. Normally, she wouldn’t have cared about the change in temperature, but considering that her girlfriend had been sitting in this room for God knows how long, (Y/N) was obligated to care.

“Pippa,” She exclaimed and hurriedly removed her sweater. “It’s fucking freezing. Here.” With a gentle chuckle, she offered the outer layer to the gorgeous young woman she had the privilege of calling her’s. “What did you need me here for?”

Phillipa grinned at her significant other and denied the sweater multiple times, before finally realizing that (Y/N)’s stubbornness wouldn’t lighten up anytime soon. She gratefully slipped it on and pressed a chaste kiss to her girlfriend’s cheek. “Thank you, honey.” She matched her joyful expression and grabbed her hand.

(Y/N) was pulled toward the black grand piano that sat in the middle of the room. She looked at Phillipa with a confused expression- did she want to show off the new instrument that the music teacher had received? This could have been shown off on Monday, and not on the weekend, when (Y/N) deserved a break from all the schoolwork that was piled upon her. “Pip, are you- ?”

She was promptly (and loudly) shushed as Phillipa pushed her down onto the piano seat and rushed over to her backpack that had been thrown onto a nearby chair. “I want to audition for the next play that the school is putting on, and for my audition song, I need a piano player. You play piano. You love me. It’s perfect!” The girl squealed as she pulled sheet music out of her bag and shoved it into (Y/N)’s hands.

(Y/N) looked the music over for a second, then up at her girlfriend. “You woke me up at nine o’clock on a Saturday for this?” She raised an exasperated eyebrow at the other as she faked an expression of annoyance. She would wake up at four o’clock in the morning for Phillipa. She just wouldn’t admit that.

For a short moment, Pippa mistook (Y/N)’s irritation as genuine. Her wide, bright smile fell as she reached for the sheet music. “Oh, I mean, you don’t have to. I’ll find someone else. I think Alex plays the piano too...I could go find him a-and,”

Her girlfriend moved the paper away before Phillipa could take them back. “Come on, Pip, baby. Did you warm up already? Where do we start?” (Y/N) grinned at the beautiful ray of sunshine whose joyous expression had returned. Even if she wanted to be, she could never be upset with Phillipa. It was physically, mentally, and emotionally impossible to be cross with her. It was like kicking a puppy.

“I love you! I love you so much!” Pippa jumped over and pressed multiple kisses to (Y/N)’s lips and she enveloped her in her arms. “This is why I came to you- because you’re the absolute best. Okay, so,” She took a seat next to her partner as she kept one arm around her and used the other to point to the notes on the sheet. “I cut this part out, but only because it would take too long if I left it in,”

(Y/N) would definitely wake up at four o’clock in the morning for Phillipa Soo. Maybe even three thirty. Maybe.
