Corky’s Scare Pranks

AN: I decided to change it up and write from my OC’s pov, and I am having a lot of fun with it.

Also, I know Devil May Cry doesn’t give years, but for the sake of the timeline in my fanfiction, Devil May Cry 5 takes place 2014. And while I am sharing bits and pieces of my Fanfiction on here (including the entirety of the Sloth arc and working on revisions and edits for the Wrath arc when I have time) I only upload what I feel comfortable uploading. So I might give some context depending on when the scenes take place if I feel it is necessary.

Devil May Cry shop - Red Grave City

6:42am

Nico is knocked out next to me still. Good. Shoulder’s healing up nice, but the poor gal still needs rest so I’ll let her sleep in.

I slide out of bed, careful not to make a sound. My feet land on the floor with a soft thud. I go downstairs and see the lights are still out. It’s too early to open, but usually Nero is up around this time drinking his coffee and eating breakfast. Maybe he went to train a little?

Felix is passed out on that crusty couch. Soon we’ll find our own place here in Red Grave but for now we are making do. Although I like my little slumber parties with Nico. No not those kinds you perverts. I told Felix the same thing. The floor creaks under me as I make my way downstairs, the wood groaning like it knows I'm up to no good. Felix is sprawled out like roadkill, one arm hanging off the couch, head turned at that weird angle which I know he's going to regret.

So I crouch down. Real low. Like a predator, stalking its prey. I can hear the faint buzzing of a broken neon sign outside the window, the tick-tick-tick of the wall clock—God, someone needs to shut that thing up—and the steady breathing of Felix.

"Felix," I whisper, but not like whisper whisper, more like a hiss that’s dripping with menace, like one of those demons that crawl outta the walls in Limbo. "Feeeeelix."

Nothing. Guy doesn’t even flinch.

I get real close, like nose-to-nose close. I can smell the whiskey he got drunk on, along with…something sour. My gluttony-demon senses identified the source as a human female.

Hahaha.

"Felix!" This time, I scream like a banshee and I swear the windows shake. Felix jerks awake so fast he almost punches me in the face.

"Fuck!" He’s already halfway off the couch, fists raised, eyes wide like he’s ready to throw down with whatever demon just crawled outta the floorboards. His chest is heaving, that fight-or-flight instinct kicking in, and I can practically see the gears turning in his brain as he processes that it’s just me—again.

I’m laughing my ass off by this point, rolling on the floor, clutching my sides.

"Goddammit, Corky!" Felix snarls, rubbing his eyes like he’s trying to wipe the sleep—and probably the murderous thoughts—out of his head. "You can’t keep doing this!"

Felix slumps back into the couch, running a hand through his hair, muttering under his breath. Something about how he thought we left this shit behind in Limbo.

January 21st, 2015

Outside Grease Pit Royale, Red Grave City – 6:03pm I was just picking up some dinner from Grease Pit’s when I catch sight of Nico's precious little Devil May Cry van parked some random supply shop.

Nico's running errands. Again. Probably picking up God knows what—spare parts, screws, maybe some gunpowder to mix into her morning coffee. The stuff she gets excited about, y’know? But she doesn’t know I’m here. Ohhh, she doesn’t know.

Perfect.

Bag of burgers in hand, I waltz over and sneak up to the van, cracking the door open quietly, and sliding into the back seat. No creaks, no nothing. Nico’s off in that store and she’s gone long enough for me to get comfortable.

I’m sitting there in the back, burgers spread across my lap.

A few minutes pass. I bite into one of the burgers because I’m hungry, and it’s dinner time. The grease dribbles down my chin, and I wipe it with the back of my hand.

And then, there it is. The soft shuffle of boots outside. The jingle of keys. The van door swings open, and Nico steps in, balancing some weird metal contraption.

Just as she’s halfway in, I pounce, leaping from the shadows. “Surprise, bitch!” I scream, face practically inches from hers.

Nico, though? Nico doesn’t flinch. Not even a little. She just blinks at me, raises one eyebrow.

“How come I didn’t scare you?” My words tumble out, fast and loose, a little whiny if I’m being honest.

She settles into the driver’s seat, lighting up a cigarette.

“What, you think you’re some kinda unflinchable badass now?” I ask.

She doesn’t even bother turning fully to face me. Just that over-the-shoulder look again, like she’s humoring me. “You mad buttercup?”

“A little, yeah,” I admit.

Nico blows a cloud of smoke and shoots me a cheeky grin, “After I’m done with my smoke, I’ll give you a ride back to your place.”

Outside Felix’s Apartment, Red Grave City

7:21am I’m crouched down outside Felix’s apartment. I told Nero that I was going to make sure he comes so we can head on out to Vie de Marli. I’ve been camped out here in the cold for, I don’t know, ten whole minutes, waiting for him to open that damn door.

I can hear him inside, shuffling around like he’s got nowhere to be. Dude’s slow. Probably hungover… again.

I hear the door click, the hinges creak like the thing hasn’t been oiled in years, and I know this is it.

The door opens just a crack, and I launch myself forward like a wild animal—arms out, mouth wide, and I let out the loudest, most demonic scream I can muster. “RAHHHH!” I’m in his face in half a second, and for a brief, glorious moment, I see it—actual surprise in Felix’s eyes. I did it. I got him. The guy who’s seen hell and worse, finally, finally rattled.

But then, of course, because it’s Felix, the bastard just blinks, his whole body barely jerking back, like he’s dealing with a mildly annoying fly instead of me. He’s standing there, door halfway open, one hand on the frame, and his expression goes from that tiny flash of shock to pure, unadulterated irritation.

"You really need to find a new hobby," he deadpans.

July 5th, 2015

Outside the Devil May Cry shop, Red Grave City

8:12pm

I feel I spend more time crouched behind doors to scare my friends then to hide from demon threats. But I’m committed—no, dedicated. I hear Marcus shuffling around inside, probably gathering his bag of nerd gear and whatever illegal software he’s been messing with all day.

I can hear Nero and Nico bickering inside, but I am focused on Marcus’s footsteps, that familiar clumsy shuffle he’s got going.

The door creaks open just a crack, and I hear Marcus muttering something under his breath.

And then, just as the door swings fully open—BAM—I leap out like a goddamn wildcat. Arms up, mouth wide, screeching like a banshee straight outta the depths of hell. “BOO, BITCH!”

Marcus’s face goes pale immediately, and I swear to god his soul leaves his body for a split second. He yelps like a kicked puppy, stumbling backward, legs flailing in the air like he just slipped on a banana peel. For a split second, I wonder if I actually killed him. His eyes are wide, pupils blown, mouth hanging open like he’s trying to process whether he’s dead or if this is some kinda fever dream.

“C-Corky! Shit! You almost made me piss myself!” Marcus practically screams, clutching his chest like he’s having a heart attack.

I’m doubled over, laughing so hard I might actually fall down and roll into the street. My sides hurt, but I can’t stop—it’s just that good.

His face is beet red now, either from embarrassment or the fact that he genuinely thought he was about to die. The guy’s wiping at his forehead, like he’s trying to erase the trauma from his mind. “Corky, that was not cool!” he whines.

“That was hilarious!” I manage between breaths, gasping for air.

Marcus glares at me—or tries to, anyway—but he’s too flustered to pull it off. He’s more like a wet puppy at this point, all shaken and twitchy. He runs a hand through his dreads, trying to calm his nerves.

July 19th, 2015

Njaa Village, Kijuju Jungles

1:22pm

It’s so damn humid out here, the air thick like molasses, making my skin sticky with that gross mix of sweat and jungle funk. Welcome to the Kijuju jungle—where every step feels like you’re walking through hot soup and everything wants to bite, sting, or eat you. And here we are, just sitting in this van that wreaks of cigarettes, Nico’s gun oil, grease, and Felix's funky boots. Nico’s out like a light, sleeping hard enough to miss the literal apocalypse.

My eyes dart to Felix, who’s standing by the van, leaning against it like he doesn’t have a care in the world. He’s got that smirk on his face, the one that says he’s already ten steps ahead.

“So, what’s the play?” he asks.

I grin, leaning closer to him like we’re planning a heist. “Alright, here’s what we’re gonna do. You sneak around the other side, knock on the window. Get her to stir just a bit, but not too much, y’know? Then, I’m gonna jump outta the back and scream.”

Felix raises an eyebrow, and for a second, I think he’s about to give me that “seriously, Corky?” look, but instead, he chuckles. “You know she’s gonna shoot you, right? This woman sleeps with a gun under her pillow.”

I wave him off, like that’s a detail that doesn’t matter. “Pfft, she won’t shoot me. Probably. Maybe. It wouldn’t kill me. It would just hurt… a lot.”

Nico’s inside, snoring softly, one hand draped over her stomach, her other arm tucked under her head. Poor girl’s been working her ass off all day, but it was almost go-time.

Felix taps on the window. Just a soft, deliberate tap-tap-tap. Nico stirs, a sleepy grumble slipping from her lips, but she doesn’t wake up fully.

I slam the back door open and scream—loud, shrill, like a banshee on crack. “WAKE UP, SUNSHINE!”

Nico bolts upright so fast I think she might’ve given herself whiplash. Her hand immediately shoots to her hip, where she keeps her gun holstered, but she fumbles with it, blinking blearily, eyes wide, not processing what the hell just happened. For a split second, I think she’s about to actually pull that trigger, and I’m about to have a hole in my chest, but then recognition kicks in. Her face twists into this expression—half disbelief, half murderous intent.

“You goddamn jackass! I swear to Christ, Corky, one of these days, I am gonna shoot your ass, and I ain’t gonna feel bad about it!” Her southern twang is extra thick when she’s pissed, and right now, it’s like molasses, all warm and sticky with that angry charm only Nico can pull off. She’s glaring at me, but I can see the tiniest twitch at the corner of her mouth—she’s trying not to smile. She won’t admit it, but I can tell.

Felix’s laugh cuts through the humid air. “Told ya she’d pull the gun.”

Kyrie’s House, Fortuna

Scaring Nero has always been tricky. It’s rare to catch him off guard. But since he has been back in his hometown and still dealing with… whatever is going on between him and Kyrie at this point has him kind of distracted, which makes him the perfect target.

Nico’s beside me, practically vibrating with excitement, that grin plastered across her face like she’s about to watch the best damn show on earth.

I smell Nero’s essence and then hear his footsteps.

Nico nudges me, eyes gleaming. “Here he comes.”

“BOO!”

I launch myself out from the corner, arms flailing, letting out the loudest, most guttural scream I can manage, aiming right at Nero, thinking I’ve got him dead to rights. But instead of Nero, it’s Kyrie. Sweet, gentle Kyrie—who was walking in front of Nero—right in my line of fire.

Her scream is so high-pitched I’m pretty sure it could break glass, and her eyes go wide as dinner plates as she stumbles backward, legs giving out from sheer shock. And—oh no, oh shit—she’s going down.

“Oh god! Kyrie!” I’m in panic mode now, scrambling to catch her before she hits the ground. Too late. She’s on her ass, wide-eyed and gasping, and I’m frozen for a split second because, holy shit, I just scared the hell out of Kyrie.

I drop to my knees, my brain catching up with my body, sliding to her side in an awkward crawl. “Oh my god, I’m so sorry!” My voice is all frantic, and I’m grabbing at her, trying to make sure she’s okay.

“Corky what the hell!?” Nero yells at me angrily, “Kyrie, are you alright?”

But here’s the thing—she’s laughing. Full-on, belly-laughing, like I didn’t just give her a near heart attack. She’s holding her stomach, face flushed, tears in her eyes from laughing so hard. “I—I’m fine!” she manages between gasps. “I wasn’t… expecting that!”

Nico’s already on the floor, too, doubled over in hysterics, slapping her thigh. “Damn, Corky, you just knocked her flat! That was supposed to be Nero!”

I can’t help but laugh, too, even though I feel like the world’s biggest jerk. I flop down next to Kyrie, still half-hugging her, and bury my face in her shoulder. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to literally knock you over.” I’m laughing, but I’m also kinda mortified. She smells like lavender and something soft, and I just feel bad.

Nero, of course, is standing there, arms crossed, glaring at us like we’re a bunch of children. “Well it failed,” He shakes his head, but I catch the ghost of a smile tugging at his lips as he sees Kyrie is more than okay.

Kyrie waves him off, still giggling. “I’m fine! Really! I haven’t laughed this hard in a while.” She looks at me, eyes twinkling, and I swear she’s not mad. If anything, she looks like she enjoyed it, which makes me feel about ten times better.

March 5th, 2016

Felix’s Apartment, Red Grave City

4:31pm

Nero’s sitting on the couch, staring at the floor like it’s got all the answers. I can see the gears turning in his head, the way his jaw’s tight, the furrow in his brow—it’s all there. He’s thinking about everything. Dante and Vergil are back and this leaves Nero trying to figure out where he goes from here.

Which means… this is my shot.

I’ve tried a dozen times to scare him. Failed every time. He’s like a brick wall. No—he’s worse. He’s like a brick wall with demon blood that doesn’t flinch at anything. Felix is hard to scare, sure, but Nero? Nero’s on a whole different level. But right now, he’s distracted, and I’m thinking… this might be the one. The golden opportunity.

I’m crouched just out of sight, heart beating fast, excitement bubbling up in my chest like I’m a kid about to pull off the best prank of the century. This is it. He’s too deep in his head to see it coming. Perfect. I’ve got you now, Nero.

I tiptoe closer, quiet as a cat. Felix’s apartment isn’t much—just a couple rooms, a couch, and a whole lotta weird smells (seriously, what is that?), but it’s home enough for Nero while he figures out whatever existential shit he’s got going on.

I take a breath, hold it, and then—

“RAH!” I leap out from behind the couch, arms out like I’m a damn demon crawling outta hell. I scream loud enough to rattle the windows, full-on feral, just to get that reaction out of him.

And for a second, a glorious second, I think I’ve done it. Nero jerks, his body tensing up like he’s about to spring into action. His eyes go wide, hands shooting up like he’s ready to grab Red Queen or Blue Rose and shove them down whatever demon’s throat dared to come after him.

But then… nothing. He blinks. Looks at me. And then the realization sinks in, that heavy calm settling over his face as his eyes narrow. And I’m just standing there, caught in the middle of it, like a dumbass with my arms still raised, grinning like I’ve won something when, really, I’ve just lost.

Nero rubs a hand over his face, groaning like he’s disappointed in the whole world. “Corky… really?”

Goddammit.

I drop my arms, deflating like a balloon. “Seriously?! Nothing? I didn’t even get a flinch?”

“You got a grunt,” he says, leaning back on the couch, crossing his arms like the unshakable bastard he is. There’s a flicker of amusement there, though, hiding just beneath that stone-cold expression. “That’s about all you’re getting.”

“I was so close,” I mutter, half to myself.

[ladylooch]

“so this is okay for Lucie, but do not do this for Mack." Lexi shakes her head rapidly. Nioc's mouth drops open in horror.

HAHAHA poor Nico

Mack is lowkey me

Look, Nico would love to give one to Mack. But the reality is she would be so mortified and freaking out that the gift would do more harm than good. All their babies are different and Lexi knows her daughter well 🥰

Also I am also Mack 💀

HeliosR - Sing in the darkness - Chapter 2 - Part 20

Translation of Sing in the darkness from ‘Helios Rising Heroes’, a new side arc alongside the current main story arc Like the dawning light.

---Several days later.

Robin: …….

Nico: …………

Robin: Nico? What’s the matter?

Nico: Keeping my distance so Bianchi doesn’t find me

Robin: Aaah, he’s in high spirits about the costumes, isn’t he

Nico: I don’t want to be turned into a dress-up doll again today

Nico: ….Can’t you hide me with your powers? 

Robin: You can run away using yours when push comes to shove, no? 

Robin: Whatever you may say, you do end up accompanying him. 

Nico: ……The aftermath is a pain. Bianchi’s persistent

Robin: Is he now

-

Bianchi: Hmm~ …..Maybe I did lean too far into that trend? 

Bianchi: It’d feel stereotypical if you don’t do it well, so I tried out special effects makeup but it’s still…  

Sage: U-um, it’s all up to you to make the decisions on these things. However if I had to give any personal input, maybe the zombie make up is a little bit terrifying…?

Bianchi: Right. Those cuties from North got so scared they ran away, didn’t they?

Sage: Yeah… Nico-kun left the make-up on and went into the hallway, and by chance bumped into them… 

Sage: Even that Marion-kun got startled. Then he got furious about how he dared to go out looking like that.

Bianchi: It requires a certain amount of skill to recreate something of that level, you know? People who understand will see all the beauty that was poured into it…  

Bianchi: Still, the citizens are the ones that have to enjoy it. I’ll try thinking of a different direction. If I make it pop just a tiny bit more it will come together nicely. 

Sage: Phew, that’s good…

Bianchi: In other words, Sei-chan. Come keep me company again tonight. I’ll ask Nico-chan too later♪

Sage: Ah, haha…. I’m looking forward to it.

Jude: Nothing compares to how bright Bianchi shines whenever he’s thinking about design.

Bianchi: Hold it. Don’t just suddenly act like you’re part of the conversation?

Jude: But I’m always part of it? I don’t say anything but I thoroughly listen to everything. 

Bianchi: That gave me shivers…

Sage: Ahaha. Nice to see Jude-kun and Bianchi-san getting along as they always do.

Bianchi: Sei-chan?

Jude: Haha, Sage’s got a keen eye when it comes to people

Jude: You entrusted the designing part to Bianchi, and assigning the costumes to him as a whole was a good call too. It’s a choice coming from how you closely pay attention to who you’re talking to.    

Sage: Eh… really? Jude-kun praising me is making me somewhat embarrassed. 

Bianchi: Jude. Try telling us what the theme for the costumes are.

Jude: Huh? It’s rich and poor people, yeah?

Bianchi: Wrong, it’s angels and devils! How could you say that with such confidence…

Sage: Ah, hahaha….

Sage: ……

Jude: The weather has been off since earlier. It’s even thundering. 

Sage: Yeah….

Robin: Sage, are you okay?

[bwoahtastic]

i love when you write about nico, he's just so pretty and fun to traumatise and that miscarriage stuff is amazing!

along the lines of making nico suffer more hahaha, what about if one of his bad exes shows up again? and it kickstarts one of nico's downward spirals again, but he's trying so hard to be brave for nicky, and this time he has mika and seb and toto and all of the pups, but he also doesn't want them to get hurt because of him...

Oh plss poor tortured soul!

Nico dealing with so much and he is doing so much better now he has a Pack, Mika, and even a little mousy pup! But then he runs into an old ex who then figures out where he lives and keeps coming around, telling Nico he hasn't forgotten him and wants him back.

The ex is quite abusive and dominant and Nico manages to get away every time but still has bruises on his arms from where the Alpha had been clutching him, and maynd lost a few precious tail feathers but he tries to hide it all.

Nico staying quiet and not telling his pack or Mika because he doesn't want them getting hurt. He blames himself foe what is happening and doesn't want to make it anyone else's problem.

Nico being home alone because he hadn't been feeling well from stress and Mika went to pick up Nicky for Nico but Toto ends up coming back with them because Mika told him he was worried about Nico.

Mika and Toto arriving with Nicky snd seeing a big Alpha arguing with Nico on the porch, grabbing at him while Nico is crying and trying to push him away! Mika rushing over to pull the Alpha away while Toto holds little nicky to soothe him because the pup is scared seeing momma like this!

Mika fighting the other Alpha away and turning to hug his crying mate but nico flinched away, crying he doesn't deserve comfort and he is just starting to hyperventilate.

Toto going over then too, giving Nico Nicky because at least he won't say no and it will give both comfort. Maybe Nico's lip is bleeding and there are angry red hand marks on his arms and he is shivering like a leaf!

The alphas taking Nico and Nicky back to Seb because they hope Nico will allow Omega comfort and Nico ends up smassmushed in a nest with pups snuggling into him everywhere because they all love momma/auntie Nico!

I think for a while, Nico and Mika would live with Seb, or with Toto, because Nico feels so terribly afraid at home and needs pack more than ever! He doesnt understand how Mika still wants him through all of this but Mika loves him so muvh🥺

babysharkdudududu: Whoa! Percy's playing a horror game? Is the world coming to an end???

Percy: Yeah. Today, we're playing Amnesia: The Bunker. It's a new survival horror video game developed and published by Frictional Games. Now, I've played the other three Amnesia games, but not on stream. This is a special case, since I lost a bet with one of my friends. (makes quotation marks with his hands) Shoutout to Jason - Jason, you're an ass.

Pikachu: ❤️

notinfrontofmysalad: There’s the fake account

Pikachu: Nico would have powered through that... 

number1ghostkingfan: He did! I've seen his playthrough. He's already finished it.

Percy: Of course, he has. Horror and Happy Meal run hand-in-hand in his veins. Okay, I think we're good. Let's go back out there. (unlocks the door and whimpers) I hate you, Jason. I really, really hate you for this. (sobbing)

-----

(In the background: Nico quietly entering Percy’s room. Looks at the camera and raises his finger to his lips)

Percy: (fueling up the generator) There we go! Power’s running, lights are back on. Let's go to the Prison area and take the bolt cutters.

Percy: (humming while making his way) (goes to the console and opens all the doors) (heads towards the cell where the bolt cutters and the remaining prisoner is tied up)

Percy: (prisoner starts shouting all of a sudden) No. Nonononononononono. What are you doing, my man?! My man, the monster will hear you! (lights flickering; monster growls) Oh f---!

Percy: (hides in the next cell) I don't have bullets anymore! All we have is this grenade! (brings out grenade and aims it outside cell as monster devours the prisoner in the other cell)

SpookyCookie: Ghost King! number1ghostkingfan: My liege! Pikachu: Ohoho PercicoIsMyShip: Percy, your boyfriend's behind you--- DownTheRabbitHole: Percy, behind you!

Percy: Hnngh! Just turn awaaaaay. There's no one here! Of course it knows I'm here. I should have taken that med kit when I had the chance! (Nico slowly moving closer to Percy’s chair)

Percy: Nononononono! (monster turns to him) (uses the grenade)

Nico: AHHHHH! (screams from beside his ear)

Percy: AHHHH! (re-aims grenade to floor in front of him) (falls off of his seat) (character dies from explosion)

Pikachu: Someone please clip that  😂

PercicoIsMyShip: @ pikachu way ahead of you!

Nico: (laughs so much, tears start coming out of his eyes)

Percy: N-NICO! NICO F-CKING DI ANGELO! (struggles to get up and chases him out)

HELLO, LADIES, WORMS, HOMOSEXUALS

As we know I check the novacaine tags daily

GOD COMPLEX CONTINUATION

GO READ IT HEEEERREE: complex mind, simple life

WHY YOU SHOULD READ THIS FIC:

REINA AND CALLUM MOMENTS

Friendships <3

Second chances

Callum is pathetic but also depressed

Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers!

"Callum felt immense relief when Reina called him. He answered on the first ring. Then cursed himself for acting so desperate."

HE MISSES HIS BEST FRIEND </3

"Callum wasn’t unfamiliar with the lingering, heavy sadness and emptiness in his chest. In fact, depression wasn’t that unfamiliar to him either. It hadn’t always been his own depression he was accustomed to, but he was quite used to the numbness it brought with it. Sometimes in the deep of the night, he’d close his eyes and think back at a time when he didn’t feel numb all the time. Most of those times, his head would circle back to Tristan . Then he’d get up, order himself a drink and drink until his eyes fell shut again."

AWWWWW MY POOR LITTLE GUY

"The last person he spent the night with was, well, Tristan. The name needed its own trigger warning at this point."

TRIGGER WARNING: ❗❗❗TRISTAN CAINE❗❗❗

"But Reina just let out an amused noise before she tightened her grip on him and settled into the mattress. Callum let himself relax enough until he fell asleep. There was no mocking him the next morning. There were no teasing questions about him always being the little spoon or not. Reina didn’t treat him as if he was weak or fragile. And the next night, Reina wordlessly rolled on her side and threw her arm around his body again when she went to sleep."

I'm going to cry /pos

“Reina asked me to come with her to visit you because she was worried about you. And I thought she was overreacting because no one ever worries about you,” she started. Callum felt a stab at that statement. It was true, so why should he feel so terrible about it?

“But this isn’t you. What’s going on? Is it because of Tristan?” 

“No,” Callum said. Because it wasn’t about him. It was about Callum . Everything about himself was what was wrong. He was wrong."

This is exactly what depression is like...

👁️I FEEL SEEN👁️

"Eventually, even Nico and Libby contacted him. Libby sent him a postcard from London. Telling him she got his address from Parisa and that she wished the card would be a nice souvenir for him to have in his house. He hated how sappy it was. It was a hideous card with the big ben on it. He hated it. He hung it on the fridge."

HE HUNG IT ON THE FRIIIIDDDGE

"Of course, they asked Tristan to come then. Tristan would come, he’d fix Callum’s bad mood and everything would go back to normal again. Tristan would again just do whatever anyone asked of him. He’d learn to deal with the annoying pathetic little shit that was Callum Nova because no one else wanted to do it. That way everyone was unburdened and Tristan had someone to fix and to fuck. That was all he was good for anyway. "

THE WRITING IS SO GOOD!! MY HEARTSTRINGS!!

“You’re gonna burn the onions,”

“I’m not expecting you to pay me or anything. I just came to see you,”

“I didn’t invite you,”

“You didn’t have to. I’ve always wanted to see you. Ever since we left the palace,” Tristan said. Callum didn’t look at him, instead looking at the pan again.

“The onions,”

Callum: ohhh noo lets not have an emotional conversation, tHe oNiOnS TrIsTaN ThE OnIoNs

(I love him <3)

“We’re not having sex tonight. I said we could start with you staying one night, but that is off the table,”

“Saving that for marriage?”

“Definitely."

*dies of laughter* /pos

“Of course not. Why would I go through so much trouble just to get into someone’s pants?”

“Cause I’m good in bed,” 

HAHAHA THEM <3

"Nothing like how they used to be in the palace. There were no roles they both fell back into when they were together again. And Callum was grateful for it. Maybe it could mean a new start."

KUDOS! KUDOS! KUDOS! KUDOS! KUDOS! KUDOS! KUDOS!

I LOOOOOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTT

SO SAD AND SWEET AND AHHHHHHH

[heartsoftruth]

Tell us how was your experience for the first few days in Monaco 😍😍. Did you encounter any drivers 😜

OMGGGGG. It's been DAYS already since I'm back (and I had a HUGE post GP dip), but Monaco, Monaco, MONACOOOOO!!! J'taime ♥️ Truly what an amazing GP to go to. I actually went to Monaco every day for the entire week that I've been in France/MON haha. When I arrived on Tuesday I was kinda bumped, because I booked my tickets to arrive on that day for that ANNUAL charity football match. Of F1 drivers vs whatever. There was already some rumors it might be cancelled, but nothing 100% confirmed. And Monaco is very old skool: so you could (and can) only buy tickets at the stadium ahha. But when I landed I read from someone on Twitter: I just called the stadium and it's cancelled this year. So that was the start of my MON trip... As you can imagine I went 🥺🥺😞. I'm very superstitious; so I was only hoping this bad start isn't an omen for the rest of the trip... I still went to MON (since I already bought a train ticket) and I have to say it was great. The pitlane was open and I could see the teams building/preparing the garages. I went for a walk ON the track: next to the swimming pool, grandstand T etc etc. Then went back to the pitlane again and saw the RB being unloaded. As I was traveling solo for the first time I put my independent woman pants on and went to a restaurant and asked for a table for one. Sat there, purposely not too much on my phone, but enjoying the view and where I was and it was actually ok? Like the idea of eating alone and even more: in a restaurant/terrace makes me anxious even now when I've done it. But it was all ok haha. Then after I went to take a look in the pits again haha. And ended up walking on the pit straight to the train station. And while I was walking all of a sudden thinking: wow damn these are the pitboxes haha. This is the start and finish, this is the breaking point, here we almost are at St Devote haha. I've never been to a street circuit so I don't know if thats normal, but to me it's mindblowing that every day (even after actual F1-sessions) the track opened up. I had a moment where I was walking on the straight (very close to the fence, bc I didn't want to get hit of course HAHAH) and thought 🤯🤯🤯 this is actually insane gurl.

Wednesday I had planned to explore Nice, but I bought new iPhone ears and thought: I need to go to MON HAHHAHA. So I bought another ticket and just went back there. Picked up my F1experience ticket (was helped by someone who - with all due respect - wasn't the brightest but after 2 colleagues came she finally understood my problem). This time I wanted to go more towards the harbor area of the city and it was just... 🤯🤯🤯 I mean... The photo down here doesn't do it justice but: wow! So pretty. I sat there with my water and just enjoyed this view. I truly was thinking: I can understand how little Lewis came here to have a sleepover with Nico and went: One day I'm going to live here. I walked a bit further and these 'little boats' are NOTHING compared to the yachts that were laying there hahah. I felt I was being called poor in 43943 languages hahaha. But it was great to see. I didn't stay too long and went back to sit with the 'little' boats again before I head off on my way to find something to eat. It was then I saw something red on a bike and I went: 🤔🤔👀. It was Ollie! I wasn't planning on saying anything, but he had to stop for the stripes (no idea what's the word in English) and then looked towards me. So I went: Good luck this weekend! 🥰 And since he was so sweet in his reply, so I asked if I could take a piccie and he said of course, but had to get off the road haha. So I was very happy with that as I find him an adorable and talented kiddo and I missed him in Zandvoort last year. Walked past Daddy Norris (who was in - what seemed to be - a very serious convo) and Angela light/2.0 (as I call the guy who is with Lewis now on the grid) walked past several times as well haha.

Ended up with a lovely dinner for 1 and then I ended up taking a peek in the pit again and walking on the straight back to the train station haha. Went back home in time because I knew on Thursday it would truly start!

Nico squints as he reads about the other swarm and he can’t help a snicker bubbling up and out of his mouth, “Holy… shit. Hahaha! What an absolute menace! Well I’m glad that the zubat and golbat are okay.” he paused and his voice fell to a mutter, “Aww the poor guy’s so beaten up, wonder if he was chased from his murder…?” at the mention of winter, Nico shuddered and huddled further into the borrowed sweater, “Beau how have you gotten used to this weather, I think I’d turn into a casteliacone!”

Pelliper Mail! A swarm of 200 angry zubats!

Write "Pelipper Mail!" and then the actual package contents to send them through the ask box!

Nico pauses from his spot on the road to Floaroma Town and raises an eyebrow, "Do… you guys hear something?"

His pokémon all pause as well and look around before Ban lets out a surprised screech and pulls on Nico's cheek to get him to turn around. Upon doing so his face pales at seeing a large swarm of zubats, looking absolutely pissed right the hell off.

Nico tugged on Astro's fur, "H-HALANKA LANKA LELE!"

Astro let out a panicked cry (which translated finished the phrase), dropped to all fours, picked Prince up by his scruff as everyone sped up to get away from the angered bat pokémon.

Prince hissed at Nico who shrugged helplessly, "I don't know why they're pissed off I don't remember pissing off any Zubat unless I blacked out!" his eyes fell upon the Sanctuary once it came within eyesight and he whipped out his phone.

Text to Flower Power (@floaroma-sanctuary): 'LOLA BEAU I'VE GOT A BIT OF A SITUATION ON MY HANDS AND I'M SORRY FOR BRINGING IT TO FLOAROMA TOWN BUT PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR ASAP MUCH APPRECIATED THANK YOU!

This just in: nico rosberg doesn’t know how to high five

[kingburu]

What if!

Heartstopper AU in wich Jason is Nick and Nico is Charlie.

I've been thinking about it the whole day since I finished the fourth volume today!

🍂

Also also!! Helen I just read chapter 19 of 'Rewrite the Stars'! I loved it so much it crushed my heart! 🥺 Poor Jason nooo

You better fix this! I want my boys together!! Also Juno 😒

Hahaha I’ve been thinking of heartstopper AU since watching the show but honestly it’s hard to think of one when the comics are so perfect (but I do have an idea that I’d been tossing around beforehand and it resonates well!)

And no, suffer 8)

[bwoahtastic]

Oh poor Nico showing up on Toto’s doorstep still holding onto the pregnancy test and he’s so scared that Toto will just be another person to throw him out because they’re disappointed in him but Toto just cannot believe he’s going to be a papa! Especially with Nico who he just adores so, so much! He’d definitely offer to buy Nico a new luxury apartment immediately so that Nico has somewhere nice to stay to make the pregnancy as easy as possible, although it wouldn’t get used very much since Nico just ends up at Toto’s place every night, enjoying being taken care of 100x more now he’s pregnant. He’d definitely milk it a little by having Toto do so much for him because pregnant people can’t possibly reach all the way over to the coffee table for a glass of water hahaha. Before the bump’s even grown properly he’d be enjoying Toto doting on him extensively lol

Poor nico and his abandonment issues being so sure Toto will leave him now, but Toto pulls him into the apartment and kisses him all over and cries with happiness and just looks at Nico sith so much adoration.

Toto getting Nico a nice apartment walking distance from Toto's place hut really Nico only potters about there during the day sometimes but always ends up in Toto's apartment to sleep. Toto was hoping for thst, but also wants Nico to have his own place if needed!

Toto doting on him and just smiling and letting Nico boss him around and make him do silly things! Toto will happily let Nico choose what to watch on TV and get his water. Anything to make his Sugar smile.

Headcanon #3

Annabeth discovers she loves baking

The bad news: she’s really bad at it.

But nobody dares tell her.

The thing is everyone’s so used to Annabeth being really good at everything:

She trashes Percy, Leo and Jason at video games.

She’s been giving Piper a run for her money on their karaoke nights, and now there’s debate on who the best singer is.

Hazel’s starting to regret giving Annabeth horseback riding lessons, cause she’s getting scarily good.

And she’s even taught herself Chinese, to the point where she’s speaking it better than Frank.

So, when she starts getting into baking, all her friends are thinking, looks like here’s another thing Annabeth is a badass at. On the plus side, there’ll be free cookies right?

Wrong.

There are free cookies. But as it turns out, Annabeth is really awful at baking.

It started when Percy’s parents were away for the weekend on Sally’s book tour, they let Annabeth stay over so Percy wasn’t alone.

And Annabeth just went into a frenzy. Making batch after batch of burnt cookies, feeding them all to Percy.

Except he didn’t dare tell her how bad they were, he just kept swallowing as many as he could. And she would just keep making more.

The thing is Annabeth was completely oblivious, she just loved watching Percy eat for some reason. And she would smile and ask him, “Do you like it?”

And poor Percy’s just forcing mouthful after mouthful down his throat and nodding enthusiastically. He figured she’d get better over time.

Well, the seven demigods had a reunion at Percy’s place a couple months later.

Annabeth’s decided to bake a cake and some cookies as well. But by that point, each of them had already experienced Annabeth’s baking before, so they knew it wasn’t going to end well

Frank and Hazel are determined to avoid the inevitable, and they actually bring a cake they bought, to the apartment.

But when Annabeth finds out, she just says “I reckon we could finish two cakes, besides mine’s almost done!”

Upon hearing that Leo just closes his eyes and starts to groan, but Piper slaps the back of his head and tells him to not be rude.

She hates it as well though. But she figures somebody’s gonna let it slip sooner or later.

Anyway as the night goes on, Annabeth just brings out trays and trays of cookies.

And Jason can’t help but ask why she made so many. “I swear it’s not humanly possible for someone to eat this many cookies.”

He’s lying though. It is possible. If the cookies were good. It just wasn’t possible for someone to eat that many of Annabeth’s cookies.

She doesn’t know that. She just laughs cause she explains how Percy really loves them and how he can’t stop eating them. She was scared there wouldn’t be enough, so that’s why she made a ton of them just to be safe.

She goes back into the kitchen to get more. Everyone just stops chewing and gives Percy dirty looks. They’ve pretty much had enough at this point. It’s literally been months of burnt, horrible cookies, forced smiles and painful chewing.

And that’s how the evening goes, whenever Annabeth gets up to leave. Everyone is just begging for Percy to end it, once and for all.

Once the coast is clear, Piper and Frank spit out mouthfuls of cookie into the bin. Hazel and Leo just stare at the son of Poseidon and shake their heads.

“How could you man?” Jason’s just pleading with his bro, “Why haven’t you told her? Whyyy?”

And Percy’s basically given up at this point. He just can’t do that to her, he can’t tell her it’s bad.

It’s gone on too long, and they’re all in too deep he explains, they’re just gonna have to wait until Annabeth gets better.

And Piper’s mouth just hangs open. She’s in complete, utter disbelief. “Percy, honey, are you insane?!!?!”

“It’s been months man,” Leo’s chiming in now too. “She’s getting worse!”

“I’m pretty sure the last one I ate had a blonde curl in it.” Frank’s almost in tears and he’s begging on his knees at this point. “Please Percy, you have to tell her.”

“And tell her tonight Percy,” Hazel orders. “After we’re gone.”

“Why me?” Percy complains. “Cant someone else tell her?”

They all facepalm when Percy says he can’t because he’s told her so many times he loves her cookies, he’s pretty sure he doesn’t even hate them anymore at this point

“Why would you do that Percy? why?” Jason picks a couple cookies from the tray, checks to see if Annabeth is in view- she isn’t, and he tosses them in the bin.

Leo clicks his tongue. “It’s time to own up man.”

Percy looks like he wants to cry, he just shakes his head saying he can’t do it.

But by then, Piper just wants all the pain to end, and she’s blatantly pouring charmspeak into her words. Telling Percy, “Gotta tell her Perce, it’s better she finds out from you than someone else. And it’s better you be honest than have us keep lying about it.”

“Lying about what?”

Annabeth’s frowning, staring at each of them. They were clearly talking about her.

Everyone’s gone silent. Nobody dares meet her eyes. Even though she’s wearing an apron with a cartoon on it, and she’s got ridiculous rainbow mittens on, Annabeth is still so very scary when she’s mad.

“Lying about what?” She demands. “What’s wrong?”

Nobody replies. Frank quickly excused himself to the toilet. Jason and Piper suddenly found a real interest in the design of the coffee table. Hazel’s nervously playing with her hair, staring at the wall. Leo starts fidgeting with the springs in his pocket. And Percy’s just staring at the floor, he figured he could probably list hundreds of monsters he’d rather fight right now to avoid being here.

“Hello, anyone?” Annabeth’s practically got steam coming out her ears at this point. “I know you can all hear me!”

Piper looks up, makes eye contact with Percy, who’s silently pleading with her to not do this, but she turns away and looks at Annabeth. “You should ask your boyfriend.”

Annabeth cocks an eyebrow, staring at him expectantly. “Well?”

Percy’s mind has gone blank. He can’t think of anything to say. Other than the truth. Piper’s charmspeak is still echoing in his ears, and it’s taking literally all his strength not to do what she says.

He can’t take it anymore though. He opens his mouth and starts saying, “Well, we all kinda think-”

“We?” Leo’s shaking his head. “Don’t speak for me man.”

Jason feigns annoyance. “Yeah Perce, it’s what you think.”

Percy stares back at them. Are they being for real? But everyones face is just telling him, hey, you got us into this mess, now you gotta fix it.

So what can he do? He clears his throat, he puts on his bravest face. “Annabeth, I have a confessions to make.”

Annabeth has got her hands on her hips. “Mhmmm.”

“I think the-”

Ring!

He’s cut off by the doorbell. Someone’s knocking impatiently. And Percy is the most relieved man in the world at this point.

Frank goes to open it. And it’s Nico.

“Oh hey Nico,” He starts saying. “What’s up? Do you wanna come in?”

Nico pushes past him and walks straight into the living room. Everyone stares at him.

“What’s up man?” Jason asks.

Hazel goes for a hug but he signals for her to stop. Instead he turns to Annabeth.

“You gave me a box of cookies yesterday.” Nico says. “And I tried one.”

“Oh yeah!” Annabeth grins. “Did you like them?”

Nico stares at her, he can’t tell if she’s joking.

“No.” He says.

“Oh,” Annabeth pouts. “I didn’t know that, everyone’s been telling me they’re great.”

Then Nico narrows his eyes, as he looks at all of them - Jason, Piper, Leo, Frank, Hazel, and Percy, all sat on the sofas, collectively holding their breath.

“Cowards.”

He spits out the word, staring down each and every one of them, before disappearing into the shadows.

And that’s how it’s done folks.

This is so long, but I just couldn’t stop writing hahaha, Nico’s a badass though
