āĀ pile III - JUSTICE āiām the one you deserveā
š select the tarot card that you noticed first.
ā NOTEĀ š¹Ā ā welcome to this extended nsfw reading. at the bottom of the deck i found the 5 OF WANDS (see below cut) so the overall theme is: teasingĀ šĀ letās find out what it means for you individually in your piles. what steamy thoughts are running circles in your personās mind? tell me what you got and enjoy š
[ deck used | the wonderfulĀ golden art noveau tarot byĀ Giulia Massaglia ā gilded example cards below, not the actual piles ]
{ ššššš/ššššš š.šššš }
the FIVE OF WANDS - todayās overall energy is playfighting.Ā
message. they want to give you a sexual challenge rather than indulging in a soft and hesitant mood: tease them right back and theyāll appreciate it. itās all in good spirits as long as both play along. boldness is appreciated and keeps the chemistry running.Ā
no need to fear conflict, this is all friendly banter without the intent of hurting. behind all of that is the idea of testing limits + experimenting sexually through fun and activity rather than keeping it a guessing game what the other person might like.Ā
pile i - QUEEN OF CUPS āi adore you so muchā
āĀ QUEEN OF WANDS - THE EMPEROR - PAGE OF COINS - 3 OF CUPS
Oh hot damnā¦Ā Lucky in LoveĀ orĀ Drunk in LoveĀ are the type of lyrics Iām getting from this. Nothing prevents them from thirsting over you lmao but itās a good thing! Because theyāre confident in liking you so. Damn. Much. And they know you like them back. What a secure lover this person is becomes apparent in their ambitions: They reflect dedication. Meanwhile, theyāve got a balance of mature and outgoing/youthful energy alike. And I feel like they really went from being serious in your presence to just letting it all out! Good for them, because theyāre on a roll since they met you slash made contact.
The main kink Iām seeing here is teacher and student, hands down. They are seriously into pretending thereās a difference in power, authority, knowledge, age, looks, all of that. Doesnāt have to be real, it can be roleplay, but they do consider you to be someone to look up to. They pleasure themselves like mad to those thoughts, honestly. The Daddy or Mommy kink is real in this one because whew, QUEEN + EMPEROR? Thatās a big deal. You two are either two bold personalities coming together (or they fantasize about that, some major powerplay) or they identify you as that person who pulls all of their strings with little to no effort. Far from intimidated, they are ready to learn and enjoy because theyāre your babe.
This person is not a starfish though. Happily under your spell, I can see them quite actively horny because wow Pile 1, their sex drive is just impressive, to say the least. Not scattered, just very strong in general. And they see you just like that as well. They know you are in charge, they feel that youāll handle the shit out of them without hesitating. Boss of their body is what Iām hearing! Not an inch will belong to anybody else. They love how madly possessive they are.
At the same time, they also think you can learn together, itās not so set in stone. I like that contrast in the cards. Sovereignty and mature sex versus being carefree and raunchy like a student party. Like they want you to pounce on them and dominate their every cell, but they also want to be your cute little pet to fool around with. I get the impression that this person worships the hell out of you and thinks youāre the best in bed, no matter your degree of experience. Thatās the thing, they would be happy with a virgin and a sexpert alike, as I said they hardly care! Because you charmed them and made your standpoint clear! Even if you have a hot VERSUS stone-cold demeanor and sex appeal, they feel inspired by that.
Your sexual energies complement each other well I feel. In their mind, you could top themĀ soĀ easily. They gladly submit to an orgy of pleasure. I think they trust you a lot, they just want to lose control and be chased. They wonāt chase you! Youāre too prideful and want to set this up on your own terms. This relationship is yours to create, they wonāt interfere. Theyāre too starstruck and want to gather their resources first, only to find out youāre tremendous fun to be with and they had nothing to worry about.
You are the sun of their universe Pile 1, you seduced them so much. If only you would boss them around, they want it so badly. This scenario could be a total clash of titans since you are both a total smokeshow in your own ways. Ā They looked at you and wanted you to open up, leave the stiff old life behind and feel younger again. Since youāre so foxy to them, they treat you like the bombshell you are, with lots of reverence and respect. Iām even getting service sub vibes from your person, Pile 1, theyāll just do whatever you ask `em like youāre royalty, long as itās consensual of course, but I donāt get any toxic fantasies from this pile, just very dom-sub centered ones.
{ ššššš/ššššš š.šššš }
pile ii - ACE OF CUPS āiām your lover in plain sightā
āĀ EIGHT OF SWORDS - KNIGHT OF WANDS - 6 OF COINS - PAGE OF CUPS
Whirlwind kind of romance right here, lots of ups and downs in their anxious mind. You left them feeling powerless to all the energy they perceive you to so blazingly have, Pile 2. They were thunderstruck by your presence, were frozen on the damn spot. Tied. Up. Which leads us to the card imagery, by the way. Bondage fantasies is a huge theme here. Iām just sayināā¦ Thatās their sexual fantasy when they think of you. If youād blindfold them, or try something like knife play, even (as the swords card indicates), that would get them going so much.Ā Despite their freaky imagination, ironically they are the mellow one, while you are the fiery counterpart that doles it all out to them in their wet dreams.
As contradictory as it sounds, reciprocating and giving back is the dynamic here, though. For instance, if you bought stuff for them, theyād be so happy and fawn over you like wild. Since this is a rollercoaster ride, howeverā¦ I canāt quite tell what exactly their constant feelings are for you, Pile 2, as they are just so changeable. From no sex drive to reckless abandon to self-control to begging to being a fool in love. What a journey theyāve been through because of you. You make them feel all of this, and theyāre saying thank you.
One day they want to be controlled by you, the other, they want to unleash their passion without any help and do their own dance to impress you. They have an edge but theyāre romantic, theyāre hopeless and theyāre hot shit, theyāre fair and then such a tease giving you less than you deserve, full well knowing it will keep you hooked and coming for them like an avalanche.
They want you rushing to their home like it's the firefighters. Because well, wellā¦ theyāre feeling way too hot, arenāt they. At the same time, thatās the puzzling thing, they also want you to keep them at an armās length. If you arenāt confused about this person yet, at this point, you gotta be: Which mirrors them, in fact. They donāt quite know what they want consistently, you left them too dumbfounded to understand the situation for sure. Pile 2, this individual is head over heels for you.
Now this starstruck person dreams about being acted upon by you and they love that. Pillow prince/ss is what Iām seeing all over the spread, they have that receptive energy for the most part. They might be a little unruly once they get out of their comfort zone or donāt feel like theyāre acknowledged by you (they might as well have aĀ come-save-meĀ fantasyā¦ do them a favor and help them out). But when they do get signals, they are back in love romantically, yes, not so much sexually, theyāre touchy-feely like crazy. Just when they felt like roaming free before! If thereās some hunter-prey fantasy going on here I wouldnāt be surprised, they want to keep you on your toes.
As I said, you get the best of both worlds Pile 2, your person is not the predictable type. Maybe thatās why you like `em. They are flirts and then theyāre not. They want rough sex and then they want affection little by little. But the final note in their mind is always this: They want you to glued to them, to go wild for them, to witness them like a fish in the water: Through requited love. All they want is to be asked out and live their dreamy, sensitive love. Confusing you is not their intention. Donāt forget they just want love at the end of the day.
{ ššššš/ššššš š.šššš }
pile iii - JUSTICE āiām the one you deserveā
āĀ KNIGHT OF COINS - PAGE OF SWORDS - THE SUN - THE EMPRESS
What started out as a sensual, stable connection whichĀ didnātĀ go down in flames of horniness now turned their head into a mush. Which then turned into them bursting with vitality! An online message of yours shook them up, or something you said. But in a positive way, because theyāre so happy now. Romantic, personal, sexual bliss, theyāre feeling so good about themselves because of you, the dull days are over. What a mood boost you gave them, and theyāre confident in their looks because of your steady presence/communication, oh my word.
Because you started out easygoing and then picked up speed, they are absolutely feeling themselves like itās nobodyās business. Iām so happy for you, Pile 3, because your person is just prancing around like a child after youāve been frank with them. Talking it out was so needed. Approaching it from a headspace was. Being chatty with them made your person super hot and bothered, too. Hell, they are totally into your voice, the way you take your time when you walk, the way you carry yourself, how you dress up, the way your hair is tousled (if you wear it longer), how you treat yourself, how you choose your words, and how you smile especially.
At first, they were so scared how serious and single-minded you came across. Now theyāre blushing and sweating their ass off because you said what you said and you paid attention to them! When they thought they were the knight in shining armor, you gave them a reality check and dodged the bullet, stood your ground instead of playing helpless ā which worked in their favor not to get their hopes up and invest right away. Thatās how you made this personās libido explode. But in a good, wholesome way.
This proper mix of humor and the crazy slow burn (!) between the two of you has them going nuts without actually making them crazy, you know? Just healthy adoration and warmth they feel. I get the impression your person has lots of sexual stamina, Pile 3. They know what theyāre doing, yāallā¦ they might come across as a total sunshine, but they are, oh my word. Fertile as hell, go all the way, ready to make those babies and live the good life. In this economy? Your person thinks so, who am I to judge, they want that settling down and parenthood. They just know youād be good at raising kids. But without compromising the mental stimulation, which you give them consistently.
And because youāre such a hottie with charm and good looks, theyāre at your feet. You rule them! Your sex appeal has their pretty head spinning, their routine is broken, they canāt get enough of you, they want this in-depth (literally!). For long, they fantasized about having carefree sex with you out in nature, wild and free. Never too much of a good thing with you. Youāre so juicy to them, graceful, steamy, gorgeous, you seem to have it all in their eyes.Ā
They think you have elevated status or just carry yourself in a way that shows your life is fulfilled and abundant. Oh hell, what donāt they like about you. Maybe you can be too direct and frank at times? They prefer your magnanimous, silly, soft, giving, cuteānācomfy side. They need to be taken care of a little, or need your cheer-ups. Because they want to take it easy, and not have conflict and difficulty in communication. Healthy, loving, and lasting (!) sexuality is the gist of this, Iām thinking. Quite Venusian of them, I see their sexual thoughts as Libra/7th house or Taurus/2nd house-themed. An all-around feel-good reading, Pile 3, I love the positive cards you got.

chapter six time!
and you are excited because its not going where we would expect
im not quite sure what i expect, i dont think it will go perfectly, i think perhaps something will happen that will change force their dynamic to change in a sense theyre going to this abandoned area, lots can happen they could get stuck, they could experience something crazy, a lot could happen and any one of them should realistically either drastically change their relationship or lead to a change that will eventually force their relationship to change but yk
anyways time to read!
he left the ferro thing (i cant bother to look at how to spell it right now my bad) which is you know interesting
i like this little flashback because niki obviously realizes that wilbur will do what his dad says and its obvious his father wants him to play into tomys. and thats the game of politics niki knows there arent truly friends here, but its hard to watch someone youve trusted and had on your side for so long suddenly be pulled in a different direction due to this game and i think its also just nikiās own game in a way as she figures out what she must do and yeah its a balance
and thats another thing because they know each other the way friends do but they cannot be truly āfriendsā because of how this works
be careful on the mountain roadsā¦ somethings going to go wrong there and itll probably be wilbur who pays the price
i think ive seen this film before and i didnt like the ending
a bad feelingā¦
oh my goodness shouts!
bandits!!! this is going to go terribly!
and theyre here for tommy so of course wilbur is going to protect him (rightā¦) yeaaaa get behind him (this is going to go terribly)
oh lord weāre going off roading i dont think this carriage has four wheel drive
and crashed
PRETEND TO BE DEAD
oh god his leg is broken isnt it
yes! play dead!
A BROTHERHWHEHEHEH
the contract? someone paid for tommyās death and i have a sneaking suspicion its one of the potential heirs quackity would make sense with his warning and schlatt probably would i wouldnt be shocked
oh lord i got so distracted it is significantly later than when i started writing this
they lived! big shock!
but uh oh! now they have to try and survive in the winter in the wilderness alone! i wonder how that will drastically change their relationship!
anyways this chapter was great im very excited for the upcoming arcs and whatnot and im very invested in wilburs broken leg and all because ive taken one too many medical courses that have made me a tad too aware of how to properly care for a good chunk of injuries but thats besides the point! hope you have a good day and i cant wait for the next chapter :]
- šŖæ
the thing with niki is that her and wilbur's friendship is very real and has existed for longer than they've been aware of the political games. it's a matter of is that friendship going to continue through all of this? how far can their relationship bend until it breaks completely? niki in no way thinks her friendship with wilbur is fake or over. but she's trying to figure out what matters more to himāis it loyalty to his father, or loyalty to her? is she ever going to be the most important person to him? or is she always going to be one step behind?
"oh lord we're going off roading I don't think this carriage has four wheel drive" this made me laugh out loud thank you for that the carriage does NOT have four wheel drive
lol knew the brother line would get you guys
hmm who paid the contract for tommy's life... so many options...
wow now they're stranded alone in the wilderness together! surely this won't have any lasting impact on their relationship!
don't hold your breath for proper medical treatment tommy and wilbur are 1) trapped in the wilderness and 2) this is technically a medieval-ish era so. medicine ain't exactly up to modern standards lmao

It's 4:30 am rn and I just finished the stolen century and oh my god. I love and hate that ending. Lucretia gets her friends, her family, back but who knows for how long? (I guess the people who have finished taz know but whatever) I just love Griffins storytelling and all of the little hints that he's put into this story along the way. I know Lup is in the umbrastaff cuz I can't hide from all the spoilers but I don't know how she gets out or really anything else. I need her reunion with Barry and with Taako. I really want the anguish that Taako feels remembering his sister but not knowing if she's alive or not and now knowing that the umbrastaff is her creation. If the boys don't give that to me I'm gonna turn to fics and if that doesn't work I swear to God I will write one myself. I also really want all of Lucretia's feelings and how everyone reacts to remembering her. I just want this show to go on forever. Or at least give everyone a nice full ending but there's only 4 episodes left and I don't doubt Griffin but I don't know if I'll be satisfied... This post derailed way too much but I have a lot of feelings about this and it's my current hyperfixation so I don't know when to stop. I can't believe that a month ago I wrote it off as some dumb thing that I would never like and then while searching for something new to consume while playing games I remembered people hyping up this podcast about dnd and I play dnd it can't be too bad and now a week later here we are and I'm obsessed and I kinda wanna stay up all night and listen to the finale but I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and I don't wanna be completely dead for it
#if feeling way too many feelings about this#i cried once and came really really close like 5 times#i cant even choose a favorite character#like i think davenport and barry are the only ones from the 7 that im not super into but like im still so invested in them#like Lucretia is amazing and shes been through so much#and i love Lup and her characterization and how shes really similar to Taako but she kinda has better morals#and of course the main 3#magnus is amazing and so good as a person and im also like super attracted to his character#and Taako has grown on me so much and hes the life of the group and i kinda love his bad morality#and i really just want merle to be like my dad but he wouldnt be too great at that but hes just got so much wisdom and i dunno#i think i actually relate the most to merle suprisingly enough#but yea i totally wanna fuck magnus#its almost 5 am now and ive written more than enough#good night everyone#ill finish balabce tomorrow and write about it some more#pretend i spelled balance right lmao#taz#the adventure zone#clover comments

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
āOi, lover boy! Youāve got a letter from your girlfriend,ā George calls teasingly from the kitchen.
Fred groans as he rolls over in bed, his hands coming up to rub the last bits of sleep from his eyes. He squints as he opens his eyes, due to the bright streaks of sunlight coming in from the break in his curtains. Fred takes a moment to mentally prepare himself for the day before he heaves himself out of bed, and shuffles into the kitchen.
āGood morning dear brother of mine,ā George greets far too cheerily for the early hour.
Fred grunts in response and takes a seat across from George, waving his wand so a cup of coffee lands in front of him. He usually isnāt one to need caffeine in the morning, his own natural energy is usually enough to clear the sleep induced fog from his head, but heās been having trouble sleeping lately since Y/N hasnāt been by his side.
After graduation, Y/N landed her dream job in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures at the Ministry. Fred had been so proud of her, and he loved how excited she was each night as she told him about her day over dinner. Unfortunately, her job had one huge drawback: traveling. Every so often Y/N would travel to different parts of the UK and Europe to get updates on the population of certain magical creatures or to help develop and implement conservation plans. A week ago, she left for her longest trip yet, an entire month, and Fred hasnāt been able to sleep well since.
āWhereās this letter then?ā Fred asks after he has a few sips of coffee. He can feel the caffeine working itsā magic, and his brain is finally clear enough to string a sentence together.
George rolls his eyes and tosses a thick envelope at Fred. āYou two are sickening, you know that? I think she wrote you a bloody novel about how much she loves you and misses you,ā George says, pretending to throw up.
Fred flips George off, trying to contain the blush forming on his face. āDonāt act like you didnāt stand in the doorway for 15 minutes last night kissing Angelina goodbye, git.ā Fred can feel Georgeās eyes on him as he fiddles with the envelope. āTake a picture, itāll last longer,ā he bites.
āSomeone is feeling feisty,ā George retorts with a laugh. āCome on then, open the damn letter. Letās see how long it takes her to start waxing poetically about your eyes.ā
Fred glares at George as his fingers quickly rip open the envelope. Normally he would wait for George to go and busy himself with something else or heād retreat to his room so he could bask in Y/Nās words by himself, but itās been far too long since heās seen her and Fred thinks he might explode if he waits any longer to read her letter. āOh,ā he says softly in surprise, when he only pulls out one piece of parchment. The envelope hadnāt been bulky from the lovely letter she wrote him, but the half a dozen photographs she had included. His eyes scan over the short note, a small smile appearing on his face.
To my dearest Freddie Eddie Spaghetti,
Things are going well up in Scotland, Niffler birth rates are through the roof thanks to the plan we implemented last year. Weāve spent the last few days prepping a large cohort of them to send off to Egypt to assist the rune breakers Gringotts has out there. Iāll be off to France in a day or so to check up on some of the Thestrals we brought to a conservatory outside of Nice a few months ago, hopefully theyāve acclimated well.
Iāve been missing you like crazy, Freddie. Youāre all I seem to think about these days, itās been quite hard to focus on my work. I donāt know how Iām going to manage going three more weeks without seeing your face or being held in your arms. You better rest up, because you wonāt be getting any sleep for days once Iām finally back home with you.
Iāve included a few photos that will hopefully keep you company while Iām still away.
Love you lots and lots and lots, Y/N
āThatās it? One stinky piece of parchment?ā George asks, clearly annoyed. āThereās my day, ruined. Thought Iād get a nice laugh at least since youāve been so miserable. What else is in the envelope then?ā
Fredās eyes are still scanning the letter, trying to commit the words to memory and he absentmindedly grabs the stack of photos to show George. āShe sent photos,ā he responds, finally putting the letter to the side. āProbably of all the baby Nifflers,ā he adds with a chuckle.
āLet me see, then,ā George says excitedly, reaching his hand out. āRemember when she sent those photos of the baby dragons dressed up in onesies? That was jokes. Bet she put hats on them this time.ā
As Fred goes to hand George the stack of photos he gets a glimpse of the one on top. His eyes widen and he quickly pulls his arm back, cradling the photos against his chest. āNope, sorry. You canāt see them.ā
āWhat? Why not?ā George watches as Fred starts to fidget in his seat and a red flush starts to take over his face. āOh my god!ā he says suddenly with a laugh, realization hitting him. āShe sent you nudes! What a little minx. You two are far more disgusting than I ever could have imagined.ā
Fred clears his throat, choosing to ignore George. āWell Iām going to go back to my room and uh, respond to this letter. See you later.ā Fred tries to act as normal as possible as he heads back to his room, desperately trying to ignore Georgeās cackling. He breathes a sigh of relief as he shuts his door behind him, leaning on it for a moment.
Fred rids himself of his T-shirt and climbs back onto his bed in nothing but his boxers. This isnāt how he planned on spending his morning, but Fred is more than happy to change his plans. He sits up in bed, his back pressed up against his cold wall and his legs splayed out. While Fred would consider himself adventurous in the bedroom, this is the first time Y/N has ever done anything like this, and he can feel himself getting aroused already.
āMerlin,ā he groans as he allows himself to look at the first photo. Y/N is laying in the middle of a bed wearing nothing but a lacy red bra and the matching pair of panties, a set Fred is all too familiar with. Ā Her whole face isnāt visible, just her mouth, and as the photo moves her tongue comes out to lick her bottom lip and her hand lightly trails down her torso to her thigh.
He balances the stack of photos on his lap for a moment, his right hand pushing his boxers down to his thighs. Fred had planned on drawing out the experience, but heās already rock hard from the first photo. He throws the first photo on the bed beside him as he wraps his hand around himself, and he picks the stack back up.
Fred starts to slowly stroke himself as his eyes rake over the next photograph, his mouth running dry. Y/N is laying in the same position as before, but the bra she was wearing in the first photo has been discarded, and as the photo moves her hands massage her breasts and she bites her lip.
āOh fuck,ā he moans, as he moves onto the next photo. Y/N is now completely naked, and as the photo moves one of her hands trails down her front from her breast to her core while her other hand pinches and toys with one of her nipples.
Fred starts to stroke himself faster and is unable to contain the grunts that fall from his mouth as he moves to the next photo. His thumb rubs the sensitive tip of his cock, spreading around the precum that has started to accumulate, helping his hand glide easier as he strokes. In the next photo, Y/Nās mouth is open, and Fred is sure a breathy moan is leaving her lips, as the movement of the photo shows Y/N starting to slowly rub her clit as her other hand fists in the sheets underneath her.
āOh, fucking shit,ā Fred groans as he looks at the second to last photo, his hand stilling on his cock to stop himself from finishing just yet. Y/Nās feet are now flat against the bed, her knees bent and open wide. As the photo moves Fred can clearly see Y/N sink two fingers into herself as her thumb rubs at her clit. Her other hand tugs at the sheets and her bottom lip is caught between her teeth, a telltale sign that sheās on the brink of her release.
Fred starts to stroke himself again as he reveals the last photo, his orgasm quickly approaching. Y/Nās entire body is flushed red and as the photo moves her back arches, her toes curl, and her whole body trembles as she reaches her orgasm.
Fredās thumb teases the sensitive head of his cock as his eyes wander over all of the photos. He focuses on the last one, and as Y/N once again reaches her climax Fred does as well. His head tips back and he lets out a low moan as he releases all over his stomach, his cock twitching in his hand. Fred continues to lightly stroke himself as he comes down from his high, his breath coming out in hard pants.
When he gets to be too sensitive he releases himself, letting his cock lay against his stomach. He reaches for his wand so he can clean himself off with a simple spell. But an even better idea pops into his head.
āAccio, camera,ā he casts, watching as the top drawer of their dresser opens and his camera starts to fly over to him. He grips the camera and points it at himself, so his body from his torso to the tops of his thighs are in shot. Fred makes sure that his limp cock and the come on his stomach is the center of the photo, and once heās pleased with the shot he clicks the shutter button.
Fred places the camera on his bed as the photo prints and develops, grabbing his wand and cleaning himself off with a spell. He pulls his boxers back up and gets out of bed, rummaging around for some parchment and a quill. Once he finds what he needs he writes out a quick letter to Y/N.
To my dearest Y/N,
Iām glad to hear everything is going well with work. Iām so proud of you and the things you do. Things at the shop are going well, the new range of whiz-bangs sold out in just a few days. Iām missing you like mad, I canāt wait for you to get home.
Those photos you sent me were very naughty. How dare you pleasure yourself like that without Daddyās permission. I think Daddyās going to have to punish you when he finally gets his hands on you. 10 spanks sounds fair, doesnāt it princess? I think you deserve it, after the mess you caused Daddy to make all over himself.
Love you lots and lots and lots and lots, Freddie Eddie Spaghetti
Fred grabs the now developed photo from his bed as he reads over the letter, a satisfied smile on his face. He folds up the letter and tucks it into an envelope along with the photo before he seals it and addresses it to Y/N. As he goes to leave his room he spots a piece of folded up parchment on his floor and he grabs it, opening it up as he heads towards the window in the kitchen.
Iām going to Angelinaās. Use a silencing charm next time you perv.
Fred laughs at Georgeās note as he sends their owl away with his letter, already thinking about taking advantage of his brotherās absence.
-
āSomeone is in a good mood this morning,ā George muses as Fred saunters down into the shop just before opening.
Fred adjusts his tie as he joins his brother at the till, a huge smile on his face. Just like last week, a letter had arrived from Y/N this morning with another filthy set of photos. This time she was in a lingerie set that Fred didnāt recognize, and she brought herself to her climax using one of the toys Fred had purchased for her as a Valentineās Day present earlier in the year. Fred had just enough time to bring himself to his own orgasm and write her back before he had to get dressed and head down to work.
āAnd why wouldnāt I be?ā Fred asks as he unlocks the door and turns the open sign on with a wave of his wand. āThe sun is shining, the birds are chirping. Itās a beautiful day, Georgie.ā
George looks Fred over before he scrunches his face up in disgust. āY/N sent you another letter today didnāt she?ā When Fred sends George a wink he gags. āBloody disgusting. I hope you washed your hands.ā
āAnd why would Fred need to be washing his hands?ā Verity asks as she comes back from the storeroom with some more love potions to be stocked.
Fredās face flushes red as George start to laugh. āNo reason in particular,ā he stutters out. Fred turns to George and glares at him. āYouāre such an arse.ā Fred moves to hit George upside the head, but he ducks his brotherās advance and heads over to help the two customers that have just walked in the door.
āYou lot donāt pay me enough to deal with this,ā Verity says as she chuckles and shakes her head.
-
Fred sighs to himself as he sits up in bed, his eyes scanning over some of his notes. He and George are in the early days of developing some new products, and heās working out some of the initial bugs before they start production next week. At least thatās what heās supposed to be doing, but his mind is definitely elsewhere. Y/Nās third letter had arrived a few days ago, and he canāt help but let his mind wander to the new photoset sitting in his bedside drawer. It seems that his threats of punishment have fallen on deaf ears, because the photos Y/N has sent have been dirtier each time, and he canāt help but imagine what will be waiting for him in the envelope when her final letter arrives in a few days.
āWhat do you want?ā Fred asks dully when thereās a knock at his door, not bothering to look up at George.
āThatās an awfully rude way to greet your girlfriend after you havenāt seen her for nearly a month,ā Y/N says, the smile evident in her voice.
Fredās head snaps up immediately, a smile taking over his face. āY/N? What are you doing here?ā He immediately climbs off the bed and heads over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Y/N drops her bag on the ground and wraps her arms around Fredās neck, pulling him down so she can kiss him sweetly. āWe finished everything up a few days early. Figured Iād come home and surprise you.ā
Fred presses their lips together again hotly, his hands moving down to Y/Nās thighs. He lifts her up, his hands gripping her tightly and moves her over to the bed. āGod I missed you,ā he murmurs into their kiss, before he tosses her onto the bed.
āCouldnāt have missed me too much, not with all the photos I sent you,ā Y/N giggles as she lays back on the bed.
Fredās eyes darken and he canāt help but let out a groan as he thinks about those pictures. He can feel himself start to get aroused, and he grabs his wand, waving it so that his door slams shut, and locks and a silencing charm falls around his room.
āSuch a naughty girl you were, Y/N. Taking those photos without Daddyās permission,ā he scolds, his voice low and rough.
Y/N squirms on the bed, looking up at Fred as innocent as possible. āIām sorry, Daddy. I just wanted to make you feel good while I was gone,ā she explains sweetly. āAnd clearly it worked, that photo you sent me made me so wet, Daddy.ā
Fred bites his lip as he watches her squirm on the bed, taking pride in the fact that he can see a blush forming on her cheeks. āOh, you made Daddy feel very good, princess. But you were still being a little brat. And you know what happens to brats? Donāt you?ā
Y/N can feel herself getting wet as arousal starts to build in her stomach. Sheās been waiting for this moment since Fred mentioned spanking her in his first letter. āThey get punished,ā she responds airily, fists clenching to keep from touching herself.
āThatās right princess, they get punished.ā Fred pauses, letting his eyes roam up and down Y/Nās body. āDaddy think 30 swats is good, 15 on each cheek. Donāt you think, princess?ā Fred smirks when Y/N lets out a whine as she nods wildly. āWhat should I use, hm? My hand? Or should I get the paddle?ā
āYour hand, please,ā Y/N begs. As much as she loves the paddle, she craves the feeling of Fredās hand on her ass.
Fred smirks down at her. āNormally brats donāt get what they want. But you asked so nicely, princess.ā Fred tears his gaze away from Y/N and takes seat on the end of their bed. āGet naked for Daddy and come stand in front of me.ā
Y/N immediately gets off of the bed and rids herself of all of her clothing. Normally when they play this game she loves to drag it out and tease Fred endlessly. But sheās been on the edge for nearly 4 weeks and Fred has already been preparing to punish her, and she doesnāt want to find out what heāll do if sheās even more naughty now that theyāre finally back together. Y/N comes to stand in front of Fred, feeling shy under his intense gaze.
āGod you are so gorgeous, princess,ā Fred compliments, his hand reaching out to lightly grip her hip. He rubs circles into the bare skin, reassuring her. āCome on then. Get in Daddyās lap.ā Fred helps Y/N get situated across his lap, laying on her front. āSuch a good girl,ā he whispers, letting his hand run down her back, over her bum and to her thigh. āDo you have anything to say to Daddy? Before he gives you your punishment,ā he drawls, his hand pushing in between her legs to rub at her wet folds.
Y/N gasps at his touch, her eyes falling closed. āIām sorry for being a naughty girl, Daddy,ā she moans out as Fred rubs her clit ever so slightly.
āThank you princess,ā he says softly, removing his hand from her core. He places it on her bum instead, lightly massaging one of her cheeks. āDaddyās not mad at you, princess. But you still have to be punished, do you understand?ā When Y/N nods he smiles. āGood girl. I want you to count for me, okay?ā
āYes Daddy,ā Y/N responds, getting comfortable in Fredās lap. A squeak leaves her mouth as Fred lands the first slap to her ass. āOne,ā she counts breathily. Before she has a chance to recover from the first hit, Fred is landing another hit to her cheek causing her to moan. āTwo.ā
Fred smirks down at the writhing mess Y/N has turned into after her first 15 spanks. Her right bum cheek is bright red, and Fred resists his urge to lean down to kiss it. āAre you doing alright, Princess? Can you take 15 more?ā Fred asks quietly, reaching up to stroke Y/Nās hair. As much as he loves being rough with her, he never wants to hurt her or make her uncomfortable in any way. Heās rock hard in his trousers already, and he wants to make sure sheās getting as much pleasure from this as he is.
āYes, Daddy. Need more. āM a naughty girl, I need to be punished,ā she responds desperately. Y/N is soaking wet and her stomach is a pool of arousal. A few tears have snuck out of her eyes from how turned on she is, and sheās basking in the warmth left behind on her bum from Fredās hand.
āGood girl,ā Fred praises, leaning down to press a few kisses to Y/Nās shoulder. āYou can use your safe word at any time, you know that right?ā When Y/N nods he presses another kiss to her shoulder and starts to massage the bum cheek he hasnāt hit yet. āCount for me again, princess, okay?ā
Y/N nods, letting out a moan a Fred lands the first hit to her cheek. āOne,ā she whines, lifting her hips up to encourage him to spank her again. Fred suddenly lands three hits in a row, causing a few more tears to leak out of her eyes as she moans. āTwo, three, four,ā she stutters out.
By the time Fred lands the last hit to her ass, Y/N is desperate for release. Sheās slowly moving her hips forward, desperate for any kind of friction against her clit. āDaddy please,ā she begs.
āLook at my desperate little baby,ā he coos, moving Y/Nās hair out of her face so he can see the desperation on it. āSuch a good girl you were, princess. Such a good girl for Daddy. Cāmere let me kiss you.ā
Fred helps Y/N straddle his waist and tucks a few stray hairs behind her ear. He kisses her deeply, his tongue immediately licking into her mouth. Y/N moans into the kiss, rolling her hips against the rough fabric of Fredās trousers. Fred groans at the contact on his clothed cock, his hips rolling up to meet hers. āGod, so fucking desperate for it arenāt you, princess?ā he asks as his lips start to trail kisses down her neck.
Y/N nods, tipping her head back to give Fred more room to kiss. āNeed you so bad, Daddy. Missed your cock. Thatās what I was thinkinā about in all those photos. Thinkinā about how much I love your cock and how good it feels inside of me.ā
Fred groans into Y/Nās neck and pulls away so he can look at her. āThatās so fucking hot, princess. Imagining you lying in bed, touching yourself and thinking of me.ā Fred kisses Y/N again. āGo on and show Daddy how you touch yourself, princess. Get in bed and pleasure yourself for me.ā
Y/N crawls off of Fredās lap and onto the bed, settling down in the middle of it. One of her hands starts to pinch and twist her nipple, while the other runs down her body and settles at her core. She watches as Fred stands up and starts to undress himself, her index finger starting to rub small circles on her clit. āOh fuck,ā she moans, tilting her head back.
Once Fred is fully nude he kneels on the bed next to Y/Nās head and takes himself in his hand. He starts to slowly stroke his cock, his eyes crawling over every inch of Y/Nās body. Thereās a flush that creeps up her chest, over her neck and to her cheeks and her hips are slowly rocking as she teases her clit.
āSo pretty, princess. You look so pretty touching yourself for Daddy,ā Fred praises.
Y/N turns her head to look at Fred as she feels her orgasm approaching. She opens her mouth, silently asking Fred to let her suck him off. When he doesnāt immediately give in, she whines. āPlease let me suck your cock, Daddy. Please.ā
Fred reaches down with his free hand to cup Y/Nās cheek. āFucking hell youāre desperate for it princess.ā He pushes his hips forward just enough so Y/N can wrap her lips around the head of his cock.
Y/N whines around Fredās cock, her head starting to move up and down. She lets her tongue wrap around the head on each pull back, wanting Fred to release into her mouth. When he starts to slowly fuck his hips forward she hums around him in encouragement. As her climax builds she starts to rub harder circles on her clit, desperate for release.
āFuck princess, gonna make Daddy come,ā Fred moans, his eyes watching his cock disappear into her mouth.
Y/Nās eyes flutter shut as she reaches her orgasm, her whole body trembling. She moans around Fredās cock as pleasure flows through her, causing him to suddenly release into her mouth. Her motions on her clit slow down as Fredās cock twitches in her mouth and she swallows his release. As Fred slowly pulls his cock out of her mouth Y/N stops her movement on her clit, bringing her hand up to clean off her finger.
āHoly fuck,ā Fred pants, watching Y/Nās lips wrap around her finger. āYou are so fucking amazing,ā he says in awe. Fredās cock which hadnāt even gone fully soft starts to harden again as Y/N looks up at him. āLook at what you do to Daddy, princess. His cock is already hard for you again.ā
Y/N smiles as she gets up to her knees. She wraps one hand around his cock and starts to slowly stroke it, while her other goes to his neck so she can pull their lips together. Fredās mouth immediately overpowers hers, and he forces his tongue into her mouth. Fred is fully hard in Y/Nās hand now, and as they kiss he maneuvers them so heās sitting with his back up against the wall, and Y/N is sitting in his lap.
āNeed your cock Daddy,ā Y/N whines, pulling her mouth away from Fredās. āFuck me Daddy, please.ā
Fred chuckles, his hands falling onto Y/Nās hips. āGo on then, princess. Fuck yourself on my cock since youāre so desperate for it.ā Fred suppresses a groan as Y/N grinds down against him. Fred and Y/N have tried nearly every sexual position either of them could think of, and they both know that being on top is low on Y/Nās list of favorites; she much prefers it when Fred holds her down and fucks her into the mattress.
āDaddy,ā she pouts, grinding down against him again.
Fred narrows his eyes at her and resists his urge to kiss her. āPrincess,ā he warns. āIf you wanna be a desperate cock slut, then be a desperate cock slut and fuck yourself on Daddyās cock. Maybe if youāre a good girl and you come on Daddyās cock heāll give you what you want.ā
Y/N perks up at that, and she leans forward to kiss Fred slowly as she rises to her knees. One of her handsā rests on his shoulder, while the other reaches back to grasp the base of his cock.
Fred breaks their kiss so he can watch as Y/N lines him up with her entrance. Y/N whines as she sinks down, her eyes fluttering shut at how full she feels. She sinks down until their hips meet and Fred is fully inside of her.
āFuck youāre tight, princess. Always so tight for Daddy,ā he praises. He groans as Y/N starts to roll her hips, his grip on her tightening. āGo on, baby,ā he encourages. āGet yourself off on my cock.ā
āOh,ā Y/N moans, her hands gripping Fredās shoulders tightly. She starts to slowly pick herself up, stopping when Fred is only halfway inside her, before she slams herself back down. āSo good, Daddy,ā she pants.
Y/N fucks herself on Fredās cock like that for a few minutes, growing frustrated when she fails to hit the spot inside of her that will bring her to her orgasm. āDaddy please,ā she whines.
āCome on, princess. You know how to fuck yourself on Daddyās cock. Come around Daddyās cock and heāll give you what you want,ā he encourages.
Y/N leans back, placing a hand on each of Fredās thighs and uses the leverage to lift herself up. āOh fuck,ā she gasps as she sinks back down, the tip of Fredās cock finally brushing her sweet spot.
āYou look so pretty, princess. Getting yourself off on my cock,ā Fred praises, helping Y/N to lift her hips off of him. āSuch a good girl.ā
Y/N moans as she fucks herself on Fredās cock, already feeling her orgasm approaching. She starts to move her hips desperately, searching for her release. āSo close, Daddy. Touch me Daddy please,ā she pleads.
Fred smirks before he leans forward to press an open-mouthed kiss to Y/Nās lips. āCome on, Princess, come on Daddyās cock,ā he encourages, one of his hands leaving her hip so he can rub circles on her clit.
With one more downwards movement of her hips Y/Nās walls tighten around Fred as she comes, her body shaking as her orgasm rolls through her. āThatās it, princess. Such a good girl,ā Fred coos quietly, his thumb slowing its motion and his hips rocking slightly to help her through her orgasm.
Fred kisses Y/N slowly as her breathing starts to return to normal. She shifts around on his cock as their lips move together and it takes everything in Fred to not come right there. āYouāve been such a good girl for me tonight, princess. Doing so well,ā he says, breaking their kiss. āCan you take more, baby? Dāyou want Daddy to fuck you into the mattress?ā Fred pecks Y/Nās lips. āItās okay if you donāt baby. Daddy just wants to take care of you.ā
āWant you to come inside me Daddy,ā Y/N tells him, looking into Fredās eyes. āWant you to pin me down and fuck me into the mattress.ā
Fred doesnāt need to be told twice. He kisses Y/N hard and flips them over so her back is on the bed and heās hovering over her. He throws both of her legs over his shoulders, pinning her to the mattress with his hips. He braces himself with one hand as his other comes up to grip Y/Nās throat and he pulls all the way out before he slams back into her.
āOh fuck, Daddy,ā Y/N moans as Fred starts to fuck into her relentlessly. The tip of his cock is brushing the spot inside of her and sheās already so sensitive from her previous two orgasms, and with the way Fred is gripping the side of her neck she knows she wonāt last long.
āGod, princess,ā Fred grunts as Y/Nās walls clench around him. āSuch a good pussy. You always feel go good wrapped around Daddy.ā Fred lands a particularly hard slam as Y/N moves to touch herself. āHands off, princess. Want you to come just from my cock. Can you do that for Daddy?ā
Y/N nods, too busy moaning and whining to answer Fred verbally. Her body feels like itās on fire, her toes curling and her back arching as she reaches her climax. āDaddy,ā she moans lowly, as she comes around Fredās cock, a few stray tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
āFuck princess,ā Fred moans. Y/Nās walls tighten and twitch around him, bringing him to his own release. His hips still as he empties himself inside of her and he crashes their lips together. Fred slows their kiss down as they both recover, unable to stop the smirk that forms on his mouth when Y/N whines as he slowly pulls out of her. Fred collapses on the bed next to Y/N and she immediately cuddles into his side as he wraps his arm around her.
āI love you,ā she murmurs, pressing a kiss to the side of his mouth. Ā
Fred turns his head so he can kiss her properly, not pulling away until they both need to breathe. āI love you too, Y/N,ā he says softly. āAre you alright? Did I go too far?ā
Y/N shakes her head, chuckling at Fredās concern. āNot at all, love. It was incredible.ā She pauses so she can press a kiss to his neck. āIām glad I have the next few days off, I donāt think Iām gonna be able to walk tomorrow.ā
Fred laughs and presses a kiss to the top of her head. āGood thing I have you all to myself because I have quite a few plans for us.ā
Y/N looks up at him, a gleam of mischief in her eyes. āOh yeah? What might those be?ā
āLetās just say our cameras are definitely going to need more film when Iām done with you.ā

Personally I don't see what you see in Geordo. He seems like such a scumbag to me and is the least likable charater in the whole series. He is always trying to get her alone to push her into things of a sexual/ more romantic nature without taking how she really feels into consideration. Like he "really wants her" and thats enough for him without caring what she really wants. Honestly he is the borderline non-con villian in my mind.
I mean, it's okay if you feel like that. To each their own.
Hmmm when I think about Geordo being sexually aggressive towards Katarina, I only really just think of the anime. The manga is a much more moe-fied and toned down version of the novels, and the novels does an okay job at balancing his desires for Katarina in all aspects. I'm not saying he doesn't have that trait in the other two mediums, I just think that they aren't as intense as the anime, so as someone who consumes all three versions I just tilt my head and go "huh." Of course I'm sure there are people who read the manga and novels that still feel uncomfortable about his behavior and that's valid too.
-> light novel spoilers ahead <-
tldr, there is a lot more going on to him than just someone who offers sweet words and questionable invitations to Katarina's ears, this may not be noticeable or acceptable to some people but we get to know more about how he thinks whenever the novels puts us in his point of view. You're free to dislike him as much as you want, but I like him & don't see him as a scumbag; and here's why:
I at least find it okay that Geordo is very serious about his pursuits for her because he is aware that she is dense and will not get it until you spell it in the sky. Everyone is just walking eggshells around Katarina hoping that the girl would just develop feelings for one of them to win the harem olympics. He knows that being dealt with a good card isn't enough, so he's actively taking action in order to win her heart. I mean I don't always agree with his methods either, like the "fait accompli" line or constantly inviting her to his room alone, but really, how much of that is something he really means to do vs how much of that is his excessive flirting + our minds assuming that he really means to claim her in that way?
Lines like that are really popular with japanese fans because it makes Geordo look "sexy" and "forward", which they enjoy in their fictional stories. He knows that his position gives him an advantage so he'll try to play his cards right and use it to increase his chances in victory.
It actually reminds me of a scene from the Hamefura StoryMe game, (don't really know how canon it is but I remember the JP ver. was advertised by @/hamhura) where Geordo indirectly asked Katarina how to woo a girl he really likes, and Katarina thinking he was referring to Maria, gives all the things he usually does in order to win her heart (visit her home, give her gift, dance with her in parties, be really forward about your feelings etc). I'm not saying Katarina approves of the ways Geordo attempts to win her heart, but there's some hilarity in knowing that Geordo already had and is constantly trying all the known ways to win over a girl in the world from a young age, and still has nothing to show for it. Like no awareness, much less any *feelings* lmao. So trying to make it obvious that he is interested in her romantically and sexually seems like the next logical step to him. I mean if you go by Geordo's logic and considering the time period this takes place in, he's pretty confident that he can get Katarina to love him back and they are engaged anyways so in his head he's in safe waters to attempt to make teases about such advancements if it gives him the smallest chance that Katarina would become at least aware of him through it.
Of course I know that stuff like that won't fly here in the real world, but maybe that's why I'm so lenient personally when it comes to his (debatably) sexual teases and advances, because it's a fictional story for a japanese audience. Doesn't mean I would approve any advances like that if it happens to me, it's just that it's hard to take his actions seriously when Katarina or the story doesn't take them seriously. Like, the girl would be pushed down to a bed by RufuSora and gives her a hickey and she still thinks the man is out for her blood.
He wouldn't even be entirely wrong, knowing the identities of the characters who Katarina knows has romantic interest in her in the novels, actions does speak louder than words when it comes to her. Like I said, whether or not Geordo really means what he says when the story teases the readers with sexual implications in his words and action depends on the reader in my opinion. They are there, I wont pretend they don't but I'd argue about the level of intent depending on what scene you're talking about.
The only scenes on the top of my head where he is very abrasive towards Katarina is the "fait accompli" scene, the Book scene form the anime (S1 EP8), saying he wants to lock her in his room (LN6) and the multiple times Geordo had invited her in his room at night alone (LN6 and LN8, i think).
I've already explained why I am okay with both Keith and Geordo's Book scenes from episode 8 of the first season because they are accurate representations of an exaggerated and unhinged versions of their desires towards Katarina so I won't bore you with those details again.
He mentioned in Volume 6 that he wants to lock Katarina in his room forever and keep her light to himself, which alarmed a few people when the book came out, but he said that in a moment where he feels super grateful and loving towards her because she knew how tired he was despite his fake face and without even saying anything. It was a moment where he felt so infatuated towards her that he wished the moment where he gets to rest in her arms would last forever, thus he made such a comment. I make it sound more dramatic than it was in Volume 6, it was just a quick comment honestly lmao.
For people who don't read the novels, that last part looks very sus and raises a few red flags I know, but to be fair we can't definitively say what his intentions are because Katarina never commits to those visits. Katarina has actually become wary of those invitations, because Keith and Mary have warned her that Geordo's intentions are sexual, but I'm not really trusting the word of the two people who are most distrustful and antagonistic to Geordo. They could be right, of course, but who can really say? We assume that they are correct because they care about Katarina and are wary of Geordo, but hamefura('s novels) is full of unreliable narrators anyways, it's not like Keith or Mary would consider the possibility of it being anything else because when it comes to the third prince they always fear the worst case scenario.
If you think about it, Geordo is probably aware that winning her over with a "fait accompli" won't work at all because it'll put him in a position that will make other people push him for the throne (which he doesn't want) or could ruin his reputation in high society if Katarina or her family react to it negatively. I'm not Geordo though, so I can't really say if he even have such fears and doubts in the first place, that's just my assessment based on the obstacles he has. On the outside he is really sure of himself and confident (which he arguably deserves) and on the inside he is very careful and insecure when it comes to Katarina.
Also like, spoilers but for someone who is very forward when it comes to his physical advances, Geordo is super weak when he is in the receiving end of those touches. He gets super embarrassed and easily flustered when its Katarina who is touching him, as if implying that to some extent that he's all just talk lmao.
I don't really agree that Geordo doesn't care about what Katarina feels at all, in fact his inner dilemma in the novels is that he doesn't know what to do because in every step he takes he might do something that could ruin his image in Katarina's eyes, be it pursuing or abandoning the throne or looking like a monster in front of her. He even halts his plans to make advances towards her during the Keith Kidnapping Arc, but threw it away because he knows how much finding Keith means to Katarina. He puts what Katarina want and doesn't want as his priority, so when what she feels is unclear that's when he acts on his own intuition. The only reason Geordo feels so confident to advance towards her sexually is because Katarina never rejected him before (because she doesn't know what they mean, and all of this is for the sake of simply making her aware in the first place)
I'm not trying to make anyone think that one has to read all the books in order to understand him, I think the manga does okay at conveying his feelings too. The anime really prioritizes on making him look "sexy" for the japanese female audience, so anything he does is sprinkled with spice whether we like it or not.
I'm sorry if it seems like I'm overanalyzing all his actions just to justify them, everyone has the right to be uncomfortable with his advances if it seems too much for you. It's just that his actions, while over the top and unnecessary, are done to please the type of audience that hamefura caters to, and it's hard to take him completely seriously when the story doesn't either in my opinion. Doesn't mean he's right or that any of it is okay, but it's his method of trying to put a dent on Katarina's bakashield. When you're in a race versus your friends who Katarina all loves equally, he's gonna use whatever card he can get in order to win.
I like Geordo; I like how much of his feelings for Katarina forces him to reexamine himself and realize that he isn't a perfect prince at all, that he has lots of problems and flaws that he needs to work out in order to be someone worthy of her. I like the way he falls more and more in love with her in every interaction they have because he finally gets to have a genuinely and caring interaction with someone. I like how Geordo wants to do better and be better for Katarina and the people around him, and he wants to be able to thank Katarina directly for that through being able to show his love. I like that despite how much of a chad he acts in front of her, he's a blushing mess at the thought of Katarina returning his feelings. I find it funny when his "sexual advances" fails and gets thwarted because he's trying them on the densest person and most protected lady to ever live. I like how Geordo is so head-over-heals in love with her and how much comfort and warmth she brings to him by simply being her caring and bubbly self.
I guess it's just a matter of different perspectives. If you find him unlikeable or a villain, then you do you. I try to explain why I personally excuse his actions, but I know it wont fly with everyone. We all see each character differently and absorb the material in different ways. In fact it's probably a bad idea for me to defend him with material that isn't the anime nor manga yet lmao. I mean I'm not that much of a fan of Mary anymore, and I'm kinda scared and wary of her, but I know people don't see her the way I do and I'm okay with that.
Maybe its just me, who is the kind of person who just goes with the flow and doesn't think too hard because it's all fiction anyways
It's hard to tell all this from simply watching the anime, so I laid all my feelings down in hopes that someone out there would understand why I like him so much.
Thank you for the ask, you can ask more questions or call me out if I said anything insensitive or wrong, I know a lot of this is me overanalyzing things which might look like I'm jus stretching. As someone who is aware of the things to come in Hamefura X, I can say that I am both excited and nervous as to how everyone will react for the direction of Geordo's character.
#mh ask#hamefura#my next life as a villainess#geordo stuart#katarina claes#geokata#for some reason tumblr wont type the letter E#anyways there are my thoughts please dont hate me lmao#if you dont like Geordo then thats fine#im not forcing anyone to like him#i just wanna explain my own perspective thats all#DONT THROW FIRE AT ME#bakarina#destruction flag otome#hamehura#hamefura spoilers

Drink Me
Pairing: Terra/Aqua Rating: T Word Count: 6,601
Summary: Aqua drinks a truth potion... Now they're going to have to talk about things.
Read on AO3
A/N: HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!! This is part of an art/fic trade that I'm doing with Moe (@terraswill on Twitter)!! I was so excited to work on this but it was also just... so hard?? We agreed on the trade back in June I think, and it took me this long. xD The timing was perfect though, and when they post their art, I'll edit this to include a link! Moe asked for was something domestic and fluffy (and I'm totally the wrong person to ask but I never back from a challenge dkfjkfjgf), and maybe give Aqua a reason to play a prank. We support a Let Aqua Have Fun 2021 agenda in this house. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. To my angst readers, I hope you find something here you like anyway lmao
~*~*~*~*~
She says sheās annoyed with me because I wonāt let her dust the tapestry. Or rather, I wonāt let her have her
way
and take on this ugly monstrosity (which I think is supposed to depict an ancient Keyblade Master who died four-hundred years ago; at this point, the threads are too faded to give him a defined face).Ā
The truth has more layers than that, something I donāt like to talk about. But itās a clear day, the sun beaming through our windows and igniting the castle in golden hues. I wonāt find the time to mope when Aqua is beckoning me to give her the feather duster.Ā
Aqua is a lot shorter than me. I pretend to give it to her, only to swerve it around her face and hang it up high above her head. Iāve got a smirk to last me hours, and thereās a sly one pulling on her lips.Ā
āMaybe if you jump,ā I say, wiggling it.Ā
She doesnāt move. āTerra.ā
I pull it up higher. āCome get it.ā
āOr you could stop trying to overcompensate and let me help you.ā
āWho says thatās what Iām doing?ā Thatās exactly what Iām doing. Any chance I get, Iāll do it all to make up for lost years. If she says sheāll tidy the garden tomorrow, Iāll rip the weeds by dawn. If she wants to prepare a feast, Iāll organize the ingredients, the recipes, the appliances. I call it helping out. She calls it ridiculous.Ā
āYouāre ridiculous,ā she says. Yep.
āItās not like you could reach the top anyway,ā I say, knowing this is precisely what would set her off.
Aqua likes to present herself as proper: head tall, ankles together. But when I push her buttons, thatās the first mask to melt off. She lunges at me, chest to chest, aiming for the duster thatās balancing on the tips of my fingers, my elbow locked and shoulder riding as high as it can, as if Iām trying to clean the ceiling. Weāre giggling, weāre tight, weāre children all over again.
āGive it,ā she says, her eyebrows and lips twisted in feverish concentration. Sheād never let anyone else see her behave this way.Ā
āWhat are you doing?ā She steps onto my shoes to gain height and I have to wrap my free arm around her waist to keep our balance (not that Iād complain if she ends up landing on top of me). My heart is pounding stupid rhythms at the smell of her shampoo. I donāt like sweet, but I like it on her.Ā
āMasterās orders. Give it to me.āĀ
āTry harder.ā
She inhales sharply, giving me that Aqua look. Fine. She turns her head towards the tapestry and puckers her lips together, blowing air as if blowing out a candle. The layer of dust that sits at the very top bursts, sprinkling the console table beneath it.Ā
In my shock, she snatches the feather duster, the quietest Hmm of satisfaction coming out loud enough to demand my audience. She taps the tapestry with a flat laundry bat, all while waving her hand over the surface of the table, the dust collecting itself as if swirled by a magnetic tornado.Ā
No use for the duster at all.
āYou think youāre clever,ā I say, getting close behind her.Ā
āI think you agree.ā
I think sheās pretending. Her smile looks the same but itās manufactured, tied to a puppeteerās strings. Thereās a flicker in her eyes that tells me she doesnāt agree at all. Iām prepared to tell her that sheās assured and confident, but she already knows. This happens: Iāll catch a sudden recognition dawning on her face, like sheās reminding herself of something, and Iām left to guess what it could be.
Weāre interrupted by a loud sneeze that drifts from the other side of the hall, followed by a hack and a cough, finishing with a sniffle.Ā
Sheās panicked. It sounds like a case of the common cold, and nothing to be worried about, but thatās Aqua. I follow her lead, which takes us to no one else but Ven, who is wiping his face. A faint trace of dust rides on the strands of his hair. Actually, thereās dust everywhere except on the tapestry heās responsible for.Ā
āVen!ā Aqua gapes. āWhat happened here?ā
He takes a look around the chaos and gives a mere shrug, rubbing the back of his hand on his pants. āI was dusting.ā
āYou were using magic,ā she says like sheās scolding him, despite doing the same minutes ago.
āWhat did you expect me to do?ā He gestures towards the tapestryāthe Masterās favorite, of a round cat lounging on a throne and announcing a toast with his gobletālike itās a mountain to climb. āGet a ladder?ā
āWhat a mess,ā Aqua mutters with a flitter of her fingers, shepherding the dust together so itās easier to collect.Ā
āIām not finished.ā
āMasterās orders,ā I say and Aqua doesnāt spare me a glare. Yes, I find that funny.
Ven ushers her aside. āCome on, let me help.ā
āI got it,ā she says, fixated on the job. Always the one to do and still canāt learn to accept a helping hand.
āAqua.ā
āVen?ā
I know better than to get in the middle of this.
Ven generates gusts of air with a wave of both of his armsāa terrible idea when Aquaās conducting from the other sideāand the dust grows darker into a thick cloud of smoke. He stares at his handiwork with a dropped jaw. Iām shocked too. Where did all of that come from?
Aqua grunts as she tries to calm the storm, Ven mimicking her movements.
āLet it go,ā I say, placing my hand on her shoulder.
āIt will all fall to the floor.ā
āThereās too much pressure building up from the bottom.ā
āItās under control.ā
āItās going to explode.ā
She pouts (stars, itās cute) but of course, only half-listens to me. Moving her palms parallel to the floor, she makes a gesture as if to compress. With Ven slacking, it billows low to the floor and then sweeps up.
The tapestry flaps upward, revealing a door.
Venās the first to cough. āWhatās that?ā
Aqua and I stare at each other. Weāve hidden behind every single one of these tapestries when we played as kids. There shouldnāt be a door.
āDo you think itās magic leftover fromāā I start to ask.
She shakes her head. āIt canāt be. I returned everything to its rightful place.ā
āThen what is this supposed to mean?āĀ
Discouraged by our hushed tones, Ven stops himself from turning the knob, waiting for our approval.
āIt could have been hidden by a spell,ā Aqua suggests.
āOh.āĀ
Weāre quiet. Spells last for as long as the spellcaster is alive.
āThe Master would have called it an inheritance,ā I say. āDonāt you think?ā
One by one, we peek into the secret room. Ven is eager to open the door but only pushes it a sliver. It creaks with determination to wake everyone inside. Aqua is second, looking over him. Iām last, searching the corners for signs of movement.Ā
Itās empty except for a rack of white robes, stacks of books on a desk, a chess board, and a forest-colored couch. On the opposite wall sits a huge wardrobe next to a reading stand, displaying an open tome on what may have been the last page the Master read. An old-fashioned wall clock with visible parts and spinning characters counts the time, looking peculiarly like the Land of Departure. The sun shines through a windowāthough this would be an extra. All the windows on both sides of the castle are accounted for. You wouldnāt be able to see this room from the outside.Ā
āTerra,ā Aqua gasps, ālook at these books.ā
Most of them are titled in an ancient language. āTheyāre from Scala.ā
āWe could probably find Sora with these,ā she says, flipping through one.
Some of the robes are sewn with patches of snake skin, others stained with faded off-yellow, each a varying size for a growing teenager. I take the largestāit smells like dustāand slip it on. Almost a perfect fit, though I wouldāve preferred it longer.
āIt looks good on you,ā Aqua says, coming to my side.
I smile at the floor, imagining what the Master would have said, how large his smile would have been under that bushy mustache, like the day he gave me his belt buckle and told me it would be a nice touch. Aqua inspects a fraying seam on the shoulder.
āI can fix that,ā she whispers. I let her pull it off me, and she dotingly folds it over the book she decides to take with her.Ā
āWhoa.ā
We drop our thoughts and turn to Ven, whoās helped himself to the wardrobe, stupefied at shelves of potions in glass flasks. Ugly colors, weirdly shaped, totally bizarre.Ā
āThese arenāt any potions I recognize,ā Aqua says, placing her stack on the couch and investigating the shelf with her arms crossed.Ā
None of them are labeled. āMaybe theyāre lost knowledge,ā I say, still thinking about her compliment. How often does she think I look good? āCan you imagine what kind of magic theyāre packed with?ā
Ven glances at the open book on the reading stand. āLetās see.ā
I join him, watching him flip through crudely drawn illustrations of odd shapes. We both snigger.
āLook through walls,ā he reads before turning to the next page. āNeverending sweat. Turn a face blue. Glue lips togetherā¦ This one says you can unglue them by washing your mouth with soap.ā
āLost knowledge.ā Aqua scoffs.
āBut who made them?ā I ask. āThe Master?ā
Aqua rolls her eyes. āPlease.ā
āThis is his secret room.ā
āIt looks like his handwriting,ā Ven says, trying to keep his smile tiny. Trying. āKind of.ā
The Oās and the Tās certainly have their curls, just the way Eraqus would have done them. The Yās are similar too, if a bit exaggerated and large. As Ven turns more pages, all of which are yellowed and chipped at the edges, I realize the drawings match the shapes of different vials, equipped with descriptions of colors.Ā
āI think Venās right.ā
Aqua throws a look (Forget it) and rolls her eyes again. Itās her favorite thing to do. āWeāre talking about the Master here. He wouldnāt waste his time on something like this.ā
āI got an idea!ā Ven beams, nudging me on the elbow. āWhy donāt we try some? Guess what they are before we look in the book?ā
The only person who stiffens is Aqua.Ā
āLook at her face.ā Ven points. āShe thinks weāre savages.ā
Aqua doesnāt say anything, but itās possible.Ā
I cock my head. āIf the Master were here, he would have gotten a kick out of this.ā
āTerraāā
āRegardless of who made them.āĀ
She drums her fingers on her forearm. āIf it makes you happy,ā she mumbles. It was subtle, but it was there.
āIāll go first!ā Ven leaps over the reading stand. Thereās a rainbow of the most unsavory colors. The neon, the dull, the too realistic. āThis one looks perfect.ā He grabs a thin vial of liquid that I could mistake for vomit: a faded, rotten lime green, and drinks it all in one swish.
Following the last gulp, he withers to the floor, flailing and begging for it to stop.
Iām searching through the book for an answer.
Aqua throws herself to her knees. āWhatās wrong?ā
Ven giggles, cradling his stomach then scratching his back. āDonāt touch me.ā He gasps in between painful howls of laughter. āIt makes it worse.ā
She carries his head to her lap anyway. She wouldnāt be Aqua if she isnāt indulging in some deep-seated instinct to assume weāre not healthy before assuring herself that we are.Ā
I tap my finger onto a page. āTickling potion. āGive this to your favorite person,ā it says.ā
āIām goingāāVen inhalesāāto bring the Masterāāinhales againāāback to life just toā¦ kill him again.ā He deteriorates into another round of wheezing, hugging himself tight and turning over into a fetal position.
āItās too juvenile for the Master,ā Aqua reminds me.
This page is written with the same suspicious calligraphy but I hold my tongue. To ease the look of worry on Aquaās face, I step forward. āMy turn.ā
āYou canāt be serious,ā Aqua says.
āRelax. Thereās no such thing as death by tickling.ā
Aqua jerks to say something but stops herself. Iām guessing, Let me have at it and youād think otherwise. Nothing that sheād say with Ven in the room.
Ven rubs his eyes and sighsāitās shaky and long, but itās an improvement. āCan I try another one?ā
The first potion to catch my attention is this wide, stubby one filled with what looks like dark mud.Ā
āTerra.āĀ
Her warning makes me think of the slight possibility of developing diarrhea from this. I stare into her eyes as I swallow a gulp of it anyway, much to her horror and much to my enjoyment. Her expressions are a never-ending list of entertainment.Ā
The potion is too smooth to be mud. It tastes spicy, a kick without any flavor. At first, I donāt feel anything, until a zap of electricity rides up my spine. Gooseflesh covers the backs of my calves up to my neck.
By the time I realize that Iām shivering, Aqua has my face in her hands. Her fingertips are warm when she brushes my hair.
āIām fine.ā A white cloud puffs out of my lips.Ā
Ven is cackling. Not from the tickling, that may have stopped as soon as he got distracted, but heās pointing his finger at me.
āAs fine as a monkey walking naked into the snow,ā she quips, wrapping the robe around my shoulders and rubbing my biceps.Ā
āYou canāt say, I told you so,ā I say, my voice reverberating. āYou didnāt know this was going to happen.ā
āI know you donāt regret it.ā
āYouāre right. I donāt.ā
She scoffs, smirking. Her eyes drop to some faraway conversation with herself.
āWhat are you thinking?ā My teeth clatter.Ā
She raises her eyebrows, playing coy.Ā
āWhoever made this freezing potion,ā Ven interrupts, having dragged himself to the book and is now leaning on it with both hands to stay stable, āwanted to test it. See if it could preserve vital organs.ā He slowly nods (as if anything in this book makes sense).Ā
āI guess weāll find out if it worked when I die.ā The tremors hurt, rupturing in blows down my torso. Aqua mutters a spell and a fiery glow halos her hands, hovering near my skin. My own personal hearth. I canāt help but imagine doing the same for her one day.Ā
āAnyone else want to take a crack at it or should I drink another one?ā Ven says.
Aqua glances over her shoulder and is actually considering it .Ā
āNo way,ā I say.
She ignores me, reading each bottle as though theyād spill their secrets.
I lean towards her ear, though sheās already swatting me away. āDo you need help choosing one?ā
She grabs a curvy vial that looks like it has hips and is filled to the brim with pure white. Defiantly turning to stick her nose up at me, she proudly drinks (a sip), grimacing through the taste. But she keeps tall. As long as the nose stays up.
āOh shit,ā Ven mutters.
āLanguage,ā I say.
We wait for the effect. Nothing happens.Ā
āWhat do you feel?ā I ask.
āNothing. I feel normal.ā
āYouāre a liar,ā Ven says, throwing pages and scanning pictures, then rustling back to see if he skipped any.
āI am not. Maybe itās expired.ā As soon as she says it, her eyes go wide.
āThat doesnāt make any sense. We had immediate effects. Maybe you should drink some more?ā
āDonāt be silly.ā Aqua shuts the bottle with its topper and gently places it back in its spot. āThis was a foolish game, anyway.āĀ
I have to scoffāthatās harsh, even coming from Aqua. āThen why go for it?ā
āBecause I admire you so much, Terra, when youāre brave enough to go after something I wouldnāt come near. Because I have to match you, maybe outmatch you sometimes, if you get on my nerves. Because sometimes I get scared that Iāve missed out on so much, and I canāt help but wonder if our childhood may be missing something. After everything weāve lost, I donāt want to be scared of being silly anymore. Butā¦ What if Iām a boring slog? I donāt want to be a bore. I want to be daring and fun like you and Ven,ā she says in rapid tossed word salad, her hands getting animated the more she talks, pressed to answer questions we didnāt ask.
Ven and I have nothing to say.
āIā¦ā Aqua fusses with her sleeves. āI donāt know why I unloaded all of that.ā
āDramatic, much?ā Ven says.
She fists her hips. āDramatic is when you whine about your dreams so you can avoid chores thinking I wouldnāt call your bluff.ā
Ven gapes. āAqua, youāre mean.ā
āI donāt know whatās happening.ā She hides her face behind her hands, taking them to her heart and bowing. āVen, Iām so sorry. I didnāt mean it that way.ā
āSomething weird is going on.ā I take the helm at searching the book, shuffling pages in chunks until I find one with stark white paint, in the shape of curves and waves. āVen,ā I whisper when I read the description. When he looks at me, his impish smile stretches with lists of ideas. Iām right there with him.
A stuffy silence fills the room when we recite it: Truth potion. The person who drinks it cannot help but to answer questions honestly.Ā
Aqua steps back.Ā
She bolts out of the room, knocking some of the books over.Ā
āGet her!ā Ven yells.
My muscles protest when I take off, stiff and sluggish as though Iāve experienced a whole winter outside. Aqua dashes through an open doorway and thrusts her arm out. The doors slam together, refusing to let me through. Venās going to have to find another way around. This wonāt stop me and she knows it. I slip through a growing portal of darknessāthe swirls that lick me would have been cold, but Iām numbāand I come out the other side. Thereās certain tricks that come from being the poster boy for Darkness; itās helpful in fights.
This part of the castle leads to the common areas. I know where sheāll be.
Aqua is splitting her attention between mixing batter in a large wooden bowl and running a soapy dishwash in the kitchen sink. When I approach her, she makes a point to put her finger on her lips.
Stars, itās so hard not to laugh. āYouāre not going toāā
She grunts, shaking her head furiously at me. No questions.Ā
With my elbows propped on the countertop, I watch her scrub a dish. More than she normally does, actually, a little therapy session to take her mind off the fact that Iām relishing this moment. Itās satisfying how she suddenly remembers that sheās heating the oven, throwing herself across the kitchen to check the temperature.
She points to the spice cupboard next to me, and gets more enthusiastic when I open it. Apparently, she wants the cinnamon.Ā
āI think vinegar would help better with what youāre doing.ā I nod my head to the sink.Ā
With the flick of her hand, water pouring out of the faucet changes direction and splashes me in the face.
āAm I annoying?ā I snigger. I had to.
A tick in her shouldersāher body has no choice but to react. āThatās a stupid question.ā Every word is pulled out of her teeth. Normally, sheād say, No, how could you even imagine that!
I dip my finger into the suds and plant one large print on her forehead in between the eyes, where sheās glaring so hard, they are crossed.
āHow about now?ā
āThe worst,ā she groans, slamming her hands into the bath. She takes a washcloth to dry them and wipes her forehead. Afterwards, she hands it to me.Ā
āThink of it as an opportunity to get to know the real you.ā I dry my face.Ā
āYou know me already.ā
āDo I know everything, though?ā
āNo.ā This potion doesnāt miss a beat.
Ven is panting by the time he enters, climbing a stool behind the counter and peering over the edge like a small child. Heās doing that on purpose, goading her into playing along. He asks me, āCan we?ā
She groans.
Iām back on my elbows so I can look up at her and give her the same puppy dog eyes. Between glancing at the two of us, she canāt stand it. She wants to make us happy, sheās always been like that. Then again, she probably also wants to bash our heads together and leave us with headaches. One of the two would amuse her better.Ā
āHow about we ask her three questions only? We shouldnāt drive her crazy.ā
She chuckles, that little smile of hers growing and reassuring and there. Thatās my girl. Turning off the sink, she folds the washcloth and brings her hands together as though weāre in class. āThree questions each. Is that okay?ā
Wow. āMore than I asked for.āĀ
āI already have one,ā Ven says, sitting on his knees. āDo you hate Lea?ā
āA little. But Iām working on it.ā
Ven snorts and drops his face onto the counter. How many times have we asked her that and got the, Donāt be ridiculous. Like I said, heās formidable. āI knew it.ā
āHe does his missions with the least amount of effort possible. Takes the easiest route to build his technique. Efficiency, he calls it,ā she says, letting out the hot pressure sheās been keeping to herself with relief. āHe also calls me, Teach. Who does that?ā
Of all the times Iāve expected Aqua to snap at someone, she holds herself back when it comes to Lea, giving him tight smiles to zip it all up. āOuch,ā I say. āHeās been working so hard on a gift to thank you for working with Isa.ā
She grimaces. āAt least he has good taste in men? Isa does have a respectable work ethic.āĀ
I pat her hand. Aquaās usually the one to blow the kettle first, but thereās ways to connect people who may not see eye to eye the first time. Maybe I can be a buffer. āNext time you meet, I could go with you.ā
āIād appreciate that,ā she whispers.Ā
āLea would find it hilarious, honestly.ā Ven waves his hand as if itās no big deal. āI bet heād give you a note with your gift. It would say, Thanks for everything. I hate you, too, Teach .ā
āOkay, my turn,ā I say, resting my chin on my palm. She studies me, too, though Iād like to believe I could keep a poker face. āDo you sometimes steal my cologne?ā
āYes.ā
Her bluntness throws me back. āTo wear ?ā
āYes,ā she says as though itās obvious and crosses her arms. Duh.
āHey, thatās two questions,ā Ven says.Ā
āSorry.ā I take one more glance to see if I could gleam any more clues from her facial expressions, but she keeps her nose high. As long as the nose stays up.
āI have to think of a really good one.ā Ven holds his chin, looking more serious than heās been since the Keyblade War. āEver farted then blamed Terra for it?ā
āUgh.ā Aqua quivers, her knuckles bleaching. She throws her face over her shoulder and stares scars into the wall. āYes of course, didnāt we all?āĀ
āCome on, I couldāve answered that,ā I say (though after all these years, itās validating to know itās not a blame game anymore). I nudge her with my shoulder. āJustice does feel pretty good.ā
āAsk me something better,ā she says after smacking my bicep. Her face is as ripe as sunburn.Ā
Questions that give her more control. I could do that. āIs there anything youāve been needing to say but havenāt had the chance to yet?ā
The tension in her face drops. It leaves something pale and disappointed in its place, a faraway look. I shouldnāt have asked; whatever this fear is, itās meant for me. āYes,ā she whispers.
I stand pin-straight, the air in the room thinning, as though the Darkness has opened a hole and is sucking all the sun away. Ven does the same. The other Keybearers will stare at their cuticles, or fumble and cut themselves out of the group when theyāre upset or hurt or sorry. Eraqus forged a protocol out of us. When we witness or cause harm, we recite what weāve done and its effects. We bow when we apologize.Ā
So far, weāve been home for one hundred and seventy five days. Never expected it to take this long. I open my mouth to speak.
āDonāt,ā she says softly. āI know what youāre going to ask.ā
I would have pleaded with her to let me apologize, and I would have met her dismissal anyway: No, Terra, itās not necessary. Weāve been through it all. We should enjoy what we have. She means well; the relaxation and the mundane tasks are good for all of us. Even when we were younger, Aqua was generous at her expense, sparing nuts from her brownie to bake them into a tarte, knowing I hate brownies. Sheād look at the brighter side of things (More fudge for me!), and stick her tongue out. Sheās been my smile, but she gives too much, and we still need this conversation.
āSo what is the answer?ā
She lowers her eyes to the counter, then wills them back up at me. āI blame myself.ā
Aqua.
Ven sighs. āI should give you guys some space.ā He treads away, keeping his footsteps minimal, meticulously turning the handle so itād make the least noise possible. Out of the corner of my eye, though, I see him press his ear against the door before it shuts. If heās going to listen in, thatās fine with me. Whatever she and I have to say to each other would affect all three of us.
āYou blameāā
āI would beā¦ lying.ā She simpers, shaking her head. āIf I said I never blamed you. There were moments I did. How and why. But I had enough endless nights where those reasons circled back to me. What I could have done to make it better. To save you,ā she croaks, wiping her eyes. āTo be a best friend. You needed that. Ven needed one, too. And I wasnāt.ā
Aqua scrubs the already-clean counter with that dry washcloth, creating a rhythm that fills the silence. The oven is now heated, and I take the cinnamon and pour two spoonfuls of it into a beaker, our backs to each other. Add cups of sugar for her, some cocoa, a pinch of vanilla while she drills the grouts in between the tiles.
āI wasnāt much of a best friend myself, either.ā
āYou were hurt and defeated.ā
āI was stupid.ā
āYou are not.ā
I scoff, reaching over and pausing her. My smile is meant to be gentle, but it feels so plastic. āAqua, do you think Iām stupid?ā
āI donāt.ā
Iāve expected her to half-smirk, where she tells me, Sometimes. āReally?ā
āYou overthink,ā she simply puts. āBut you assume the best. You know, that makes you a better person than me.ā
Ha. No. āNo. Iām not better than you. Not by a long shot.ā
She hums. āIām just correct more often.ā
āBut I left you.ā
āAnd I kicked your trust in me in the shins. Are we going to keep count of all the unfriendly things weāve done? How different would it have been if I didnāt accuse you of things that werenāt true?ā
āHow different would it be if I had just stayed with you?ā I realize I shouldnāt have asked the moment I finish.
In a trance, Aqua inspects the beaker with the spices and sugars Iāve concocted, deciding what Iād done is good enough and dumping them into her unmixed dough, stirring, giving her hands something to do, while I wait for the onslaught. āProbably avoided the last twelve years.ā I wince. āOr it could have made no difference. We could have ended up the same, or worse, or better.ā
I say, āYou donāt believe that,ā before stopping myself.
āI was taught to respect Xehanort, too.āĀ
āWe were taught to recognize the Darkness.ā
āWhich I also failed at.ā
āClearly.ā
āI did. I looked for it inside you where I should have placed my faith instead. I regret every moment I did.ā She puts the bowl down, a slap of wood against marble. āWe donāt help ourselves by obsessing about it a million times.ā
āBut youād help me if you let me apologize. To you especially.ā
She whips around with nothing to retort, fresh tears short of falling. āTo me especially?ā
āVen deserves something of his own. Please.ā
She drops her hands together. Swallows. Nods.Ā
I bow, watching droplets land near my shoes. āI should have been there for you. I should have been stronger. I should have realized what was happening sooner, and I thought I did. I thought I did what I could, and I was there with you in the Graveyard, but it wasnāt enough, and for all the years I didnāt know, I should have found a way to learn and pay you back for what youāve sacrificed for me. I should have eased your pain, I should have brought you back to the Light. I was focused on myself when I should have lifted you up, and I disappeared when you needed me most. I should have done more, and Iām sorry I didnāt.ā
Silence passes the time and I look up to see what she thinks. Sheās wetting the washcloth, dabbing my eyes. āDo you feel better?ā she asks.
āKind of.ā Iām beat up after taking all those shots, but Iām lighter, free to breathe without the nagging suspicion that I donāt deserve to.Ā
āOne of the things I wished for when I was in the Realm of Darkness was to smell sugar again. I wanted to hear you give me a list of reasons why itās bad for my body, and I wanted to tell you why itās good for the heart.ā I let her dab my cheeks, the dampness frigid against my skin. āNow that Iām back home, I donāt need any other wish granted.ā She sniffs, about to pour the batter into its mold, but then flicks the oven off exasperatedly. āI forgot. I have to wait for the dough to rise.ā For some reason that finally breaks her. It tears me apart as well, and I have to hold her shoulder so we donāt rip down the middle.Ā
āPlease donāt cry,ā I say, offering the washcloth. āI care too much about you to sit here and watch you cry.ā
She stops. āWhat is that supposed to mean?āĀ
āNothing.ā I let go and stare at her blended mix, smooth as cream.Ā
āThatās not fair,ā she says, throwing the washcloth onto the counter. āI have no choice with what I say. You could at least answer me honestly.ā
āI donāt want to be the reason you cry anymore.ā Nor do I want to tell her the truth. Instead I hide it on the back of my neck, where I rub into it so it doesnāt spill over. And yet, that makes me feel more guilty now than I have in weeks.Ā
āI should make you swallow a truth potion.ā
āI wanted us to be equals.ā She saves her usual response and waits for me to continue. I close my eyes. āGo through all the same experiences with you. We were supposed to stick together, do everything together. Failing the Mark of Mastery took all of that away from me. Or at least it felt that way at the time. And I wanted more. I wantedā¦ā My hand finds nothing as it waves in the air searching for the words to spell it out. āI donāt know what to say. Everything Iāve done and didnāt do pale in comparison to you.ā
āWeāre not doing this. Weāre not comparing ourselves.ā
āNo, I meanā¦ā What the stars am I supposed to say? āYouāre more important to me than you understand.ā
āAnd youāre just as important to me.ā
āNoā¦ itās different with me.ā And Iāve said too much, Aqua holding her elbows and expecting me to continue. Thereās no other trail to go down than the one Iāve started. āI meant what I said at the preliminary feast.ā
āExcuse me?ā
The feast where the Master celebrated our achievements, announcing that weāre at last ready for the final test. Where Ven and I squeezed ourselves into suits and he complained the entire night about being itchy. Where I spent it staring at her dress. When I said she looked pretty and then avoided her for the rest of the party.
I donāt say anything about that night and she hears something anyway.
āThatās whyā¦ā She glosses over me with wide eyes as the realization makes me look like a stranger. āYou should have said something to me.ā
āYou canāt be serious.ā I wave her away.
āBut all these years, I didnāt know.ā
Good, if weāre talking about the same thing. āI couldnāt have told you anything.ā
āThen how was I supposed to figure that out?ā
What are we talking about now? āWhat exactly did you expect me to do?āĀ
āYou should have kissed me.ā She covers her mouth, wincing at what slipped out. She keeps her chin high anyway, casually crossing her arms and pretending that her face hasnāt reddened the deep shade staining her cheeks. As long as it stays up.
We pass an unspoken conversation between each other, frozen and unwilling to move.
Did you justā?
I did.
I manage to exhale. āYouāre right.ā
Thereās a moment of shock on her face before I hold her and lean forward. It happens so quick that I donāt register what she tastes like before I realize that Iām clamping my hands on her biceps, two bent rods leaning on each other.
āThat was awful,ā I say.
āNo, itāsāā she laughs.
āBad.ā
āYeah.ā
āI always thought itād go different.ā
āAlways?ā
Well, Iāve run out of words. āI guess.ā When I let her go, she reaches for my chest and lifts onto her toes, kissing me back but with care and intention this time, filling my lips with hers. They taste like Aqua, smell like her shampoo. Theyāre softer than her hands and face, sweet enough for me to want more. I donāt know what Iām supposed to do with my hands until I settle them in the sway of her back. I let her take the lead, take another kiss, tug at my neck. She trembles from the frozen touch of my skin and from the hold of my hands on her body. My muscles are getting warm, too warm but I like it and I think she knows. Earlier this morning, I held her this close, but this is closer. Itās easy and difficult at the same time.Ā
Then I remember and pull away. āVen is listening to us.ā
Thereās a bump on the door as itās pushed when he kicks himself off, heavy footsteps running down the hall.Ā
Aqua looks like sheās touched feces. āVen!ā
I follow her, wondering if sheās going to summon her Keyblade but thatās because of how fast sheās walking, like she has a mission, no Heartless left standing. We turn a corner, down a hall of antique vases and ancient cupboards carved from our first masters. Wood creaks nearby.Ā
She holds her palm up like sheās holding a chalice, and flames lick the cupboard closest to us until it rattles and spits Ven out. He scrambles onto his feet and brandishes his finger, testing our distance as if heād poke us in a duel.Ā
āI still have my last question and itās in your best interest not to threaten me.ā
āOh really? Tell me again how youāre going to protect yourself when you sleep,ā she says.
He grounds himself before giving his performance of, āDo you want to see Terra naked?ā
Aqua trembles from her head to her knees, her cheeks blotting a strong shot of red. She throttles forward and cups both of her hands onto her mouth like sheās going to sneeze. What sounds like a loud goose honk blows out as the answer.Ā
āThat was awesome.ā Ven slaps his thigh, turning on his heel and leaving a trail of giggles.Ā
Iām scared to say anything, in case she honks at me. So I wait. Thereās just no way to make myself seem small, or leave without disturbing her. Maybe if I hold my breath, sheād feel like she has privacy. Sheās panting, giving me side glances but never looking directly at me, that nose of hers wilting towards the floor.Ā
I open my mouth to say somethingā
She growls and I clutch my lips together. Aqua pulls her Gummiphone out of her pocket, jabbing a message.
Mine rings.Ā
Ā Aqua
Letās find a potion that dyes his hair pink
Ā She clears her throat, before flipping it over and typing again.
Ā Aqua
Donāt tell him it was my idea
Ā āOkay,ā I say, testing the word. Even though I soften it, it still bangs like a gong. I donāt know what else to do except smile at her. She grimaces back, no doubt the last several words spoken still ringing in her ears, just as they do in mine. I even hesitate when I hold her elbowāwould it ever be the same, or will every touch mean something different? I donāt voice those questions.Ā
She moves by reflex: first to flinch, then to hold me by my elbow, mirroring me, which isnāt the most comfortable position. She follows my forearm to my hand, knitting our fingers together, and we stand there, adjusting how they fit. Mine are long and thick, dwarfing and burying hers, an oversized pouch for a gem. They fit perfectly, I think.Ā
āWe can find something better,ā I say, looking for anything to distract her. āThereās also those books to read, and the robe to fix. The brownies youāre makingāā
āItās supposed to be cinnamon bread,ā she mumbles.
Yech. āNothing Iād eat anyway.ā
Her chuckle is partial, contorted and pressed.Ā
āI can make some beef jerky for everyone. Spice it up,ā I say. She hides an amused whimper behind her hand and massages her cheek. āWe donāt have to talk about anything you donāt want to.āĀ
She nods, offering me a relieved but crooked smile.Ā
I donāt know if we should walk the castle hand in hand, so I splay it between her shoulder blades and lead the way. We walk in silence, and Iām okay with that if it helps her. No questions, her head up high like everything is back to normal. We steal glances and do a terrible job at hiding our giggles behind small talk, which is botched and jittery anyway, but thereās not much to say without asking, Soā¦ how old were you when you realized?
One of these nights, Iāll tell her Iād like to see her naked, too, when the time is right and the truth comes easier.

Zmija Yilan was a temporary character I played towards the end of our Tomb of AnnihilationĀ campaign after my boy Alexus got petrified by a beholder somewhere deep in the bowels of the tomb itself.Ā We were able toĀ āsalvageā both him and Amara (who had also gotten petrified in the same fight) by shoving them into the Bag of Holding, but short of having the two of us sit on the bench while the remaining two party members waddled back to town, we had to roll some new characters.
I spent most of the week between the petrification and the new characters appearing being mad at myself for not remembering I had Inspiration I could have used to reroll either of my failed dex saves and not being able to do much beyond that, but with less than 72 hours left until she had to debut, I finally pulled an idea out of my butt, ran it by the DM because it involved Shenanigansā¢, got the OK and started designing her. Thus was born Zmija Yilan, whose appearance was based partly on an old photo that was semi-viral on Tumblr several years prior and partly on Xelloss from Slayers because when Iām in a pinch, thatās alwaysĀ who I fall back on, and have been doing so for like, 20+ years at this point lmao.Ā Personality-wise, there was a post floating around Tumblr that week about proverbs in various languages that, when translated literally or without context, made veryĀ little sense so she got a lotĀ of that (and associated misunderstandings based on language mix-ups) mixed in withāagaināXelloss from Slayers, because I am a hack.Ā I would probably never play her again because she was so firmly entrenched in that campaignĀ and also thereās some parts of how I designed/played her that I look back on and am like āehhh Iām not sure Iām comfortable with the optics of this,ā but I enjoyed playing her a lot more than I expected, and I look back on the end of our TombĀ campaign very fondly because of it.
I havenāt been able to talk about her in public both for a lack of reason to do so and because I didnāt want toĀ āspoilā my group in case they found my various social media posts, but as itās nearly a year since she was introduced and nine months since the campaign ended, Iām gonna absolutely wall of text the shitĀ outta this bitch, rofl (that said thereās babyās first nekkid pin-up under here so assuming Tumblr lets me actually post it, fair warning for that under the cut)
Zmija Yilan - level 8-10 Human* Warlock (Great Old Ones/Pact of the Tome) (usually this is where my D&D character posts put stats but I donāt actually have access to her character sheet anymore, so letās just pretend she had something ridiculous like maxed Charisma because I remember my spell DC being ridiculously high)
Zmija Yilan is a traveler from the far-off land of Zemlya, and a disciple of Matrymriy, one of the "family" of five gods in the pantheon of that region. Ā Matrymriy came to Zmija in a dream one night and told her to travel across the seas because She had a task for her, and that she would learn more once she reached her destination. Ā She's been traveling around Faerun for seven or so yearsāreaching one place, being given hints to go to a specific location, and upon reaching it, being told to travel on without seeming to do much more than just Be There. Ā Upon reaching Chult sometime within the last few months, her patron's hints indicated that she should travel to a place called Shilku Bay; she hired a guide (named Salida) and a bodyguard (a Fort Belurian mook) with what little locally-acceptable currency she had; they got separated after being attacked by a band of undead, and after failing to reunite with them, she was wandering around lost, trusting that Matrymriy will guide her where She desires her to go.
Part of her wandering had her end up in the Tomb of the Nine Gods itself, where she encountered our adventuring party (down two player characters) desperately trying to find their way out of the tomb in the hopes of returning to Port Nyanzaru to depetrify their friends.Ā Our barbarianās player immediately distrusted her because Iād drawn her tabletop token with her back to the camera, which was an awkward feeling almost immediately returned in-game because both the barbarian and paladin arenāt hardcore RPers but they had to carry all the RP weight as they were introduced to this new character and explain that they were there to destroy a lich (both because it was the source of all the bad undead in the area, and because theyād been promised a rewardāa motivation Zmija understood, asĀ āa hungry bear will not dance.ā)Ā Beyond the usual RP awkwardness there was an additional layer of awkwardness between the characters IC as at the time, Thokk was barely wearing more than a breastplate and loincloth, while Zmija was covered neck-to-ankle despite the heat and humidity of the region.Ā She claimed that in the culture of Zemlya, having strangers see your skin was a mark of great shame and that modesty was of paramount importance, so seeing so much of him was very off-putting and threw her off-balance for much of their initial interactions.Ā
Getting off on theĀ āwrongā foot with the party and pushing as hard as I could into Zmijaās quirks (the weird proverbs, sprinkling in her Zemlyan vocabulary and making a point of her being from Very Far Away with Very Different Customs) meant I went a little too hard on them at the beginning, which is partly what Iād do differently and partly why the whole thing ended up working,Ā so itās a weird retrospective balance.Ā If my partymates had ever shoved (almost) any of the names or places Zmija mentioned into google, they probably would have twigged to the scheme pretty dang fast.
In reality, Zmija is not a human traveler from Zemlya, because surprise! she's actually Zsaksatyi, a Chultian Yuan-Ti Pureblood under the command of Fenthaza.Ā She worked as a bit of a double agent/interrogator within the Fane prior to her current assignment (hence her spell list's focus on information gathering, silent communication, and manipulation); she's been fleshing out her alternate persona for years and would occasionally pretend to be a captive and be thrown in one of those cells the party was in to get relevant information from the other prisoners, or assist others that were interrogating prisoners by more direct means (via Detect Thoughts). Ā In-universe, the language she pretends to speak is mostly made up, and something she's been working on for years at this pointāit's not a fully-fleshed conlang and she only has a couple hundred words and phrases but it's enough to be consistent and believable when she sprinkles it into regular speech. Ā Since there's no real risk of running into anyone else from Zemlya (because it doesn't actually exist), it mostly didn't matter, and since there's actual meaning behind the words she does have, in theory it would have held up to a spell like Comprehend Languages as well. Out of universe, the language she speaks is an amalgamation of my own conlang stuff (which, like the in-universe version, is very limited and not complete) and various words and phrases pulled mostly from real-world Slavic languages (russian, croatian, hungarian, etc) with a little bit of Turkish thrown in when my English-only ear felt that it fit or when I had already used a word and needed another word for the same thing.Ā Zsaksatyi (pronounced dzahk sot-YEE) is the only name/word in the whole mess that doesnāt actually mean something somewhere, and was a combination of syllables from an online Yuan-Ti name generator that I kinda liked together. If she had ever been outed, I would probably have come up with something a little less cumbersome for me and my (almost certainly wholly monolingual) D&D group to say... but she didnāt, so Zsaksatyi it stays!
She very much looks up to Fenthaza and almost idolizes and worships herāif she ever had to choose between Fenthaza or Dendar, things might have gotten a little bit rough for her (possibly no matter which way she ultimately jumped, though I imagine Dendar's vengeance would be more immediate, if Dendar's a hands-on sort of patron). Ā Thankfully (for her), there was very little risk of that given that the party had left Fenthaza on reasonably neutral terms (having already helped her oust Ras Nsi from his position of power in the Fane and the party having essentially marked that dungeon as āclearedā).Ā Fenthaza had sent her to scout the Tomb of the Nine Gods and locate (or steal) an artifact known as the Black Opal Crown, which will allow the Night Mother to emerge into the world.Ā The group actually came across the crown pretty soon after Zmija (and our other new character, a firbolg druid named Mei Ren who replaced our cleric, Amara) joined them, but the party couldnāt figure out how to get it out of the room it was in and Zsaksatyi was content that it would be safe from both our group and other adventurers there while she found her way back to the Fane (though she Sent the location to Fenthaza in case she wasnāt able to make it back).Ā That was actually like, halfway through the session right after sheād been introduced so having her sneak off thatĀ fast would have been absolutely wild, so I kept playing her as Zmija and while there were myriad opportunities for her to be discoveredāincluding a hallway where any non-magical non-living thing got evaporated, up to and including clothingāshe never was.Ā The fact that the only spells she ever used spell slots on were Hex, Counterspell, and Identify never really got commented upon, because prior to her joining the party we didnāt have a source for any sort of utility magic and weād been feeling the lack for a while.Ā She was a lot of fun to play just as Zmija once I got the hang of her, but the hidden agenda that only our DM & I knew about was an extra layer of fun, too. It would have been neat to see how the party reacted to a reveal, but unless Jim wants to take us back to Chult to actually deal with the Night Motherās return (because without having to keep up appearances and alignments, Iām pretty sure I could have gotten that crown out of there even before the weird teleport-defying magic of the Tomb got turned off), her story is over for usātaking her outside of the setting she was designed for would be weird... plus we already have two warlocks (well, one and a half) in a party of four PCs; adding a third would be a little bit bizarre, I think.
Her more Yuan-ti features include scales down her spine and across her shoulderblades, on the backs of her hands, and on her hips and thighsāmostly in reds, oranges, and browns, but as she increases in power and connection with the Night Mother, more of them are darkening to Her blue-black; it started right at that spot between the shoulderblades where you always picture being stabbed in the back, and has expanded from there; I imagine by level 20 all of her scales would be that blue-black and may have encroached further on the more human-y leather bits, probably encroaching on her face at the last, which would make being a spy a lot more difficult (even moreso than wearing as much clothing as she already does) but I guess at level 20, do you really needĀ to be sneaking around pretending to be human?
In direct sunlight or other very bright light, her pupils constrict to slits, which is the real reason for her heavy eye makeupābetween the distraction of it and the (somewhat exaggerated) squinting that such light induces, it often goes unnoticed, as it did with her character portrait (although to be fair to my party, Alexus alsoĀ has slit eyes because thatās one of the traits of elves and half elves in D&D, and also Iām not sure if they ever saw her portrait any larger than 150x150 or whatever Roll20 shows them at). Both her top and bottom canine teeth are sharper, longer, and narrower than is typical for humans, and she is careful not to grin too widely and will cover her mouth when she laughs or yawns, whether she is in disguise or not.Ā That part Iāve never drawn though, so I canāt really point to that as something the party overlooked, heh.Ā In hindsight, I wish I'd given her more/heavier snake features but even the official art for Yuan-Ti player characters are very light on them and getting around the differences between human and yuan-ti racials without tipping off the party was hard enough as it wasāI took the 120 feet of magic-ignoring darkvision invocation to disguise the fact that she innately had darkvision, I never used my racial spells and abilities unless I was willing toĀ āuseā a spell slot on them and had another plausible way to have obtained them, the one time I got hit with a poison ability (which she was immune to) I spent a lot of timeĀ āfiguring out the mathā on how much HP I had to drop, etc.Ā I also wish Iād given her darker skin, as she isĀ supposed to be Chultian but she is significantly lighter than all the NPCs we came across.Ā Then again, Iām as white as a sheet soaked in bleach so thereās something weird about me RPing folks of colour regardless (especially given her fake backstory, agh agh agh) so yeah.Ā Really enjoyed her, donāt regret her, will not ever play her again rofl
In our very last session of Tomb of Annhiliation, the partyāfresh off the victory over the big bad lich whose name I can never spell and his weird world-eating fetusāheaded back to Port Nyanzaru via the Aarakocra village of Kir Sabal, which the previous variant of the party (of whom only Thokk remained alive and mobile enough to talk to them) had helped out significantly earlier in the campaign, unlocking a flying ritual that we were likeĀ āman weāre not coming back here if weāre gonna use it we gotta do it nowā to get us the rest of the way to the port.Ā En route, Zmija tried toĀ leave the group and rolled a secret 15 Stealth roll... contested by 17 and 18 perception rolls from Mei Ren and Thokk, but as she wasnāt carrying much of the partyās stuff and it was the end of the campaign, they kinda just let her give some line about seeing them again in the future maybe, the Motherās will is unknowable, etc etc.Ā I think if Duf and Kattii didnāt know that I wanted Alexus back as badly as I did and that we were like twenty minutes (real time) away from actually getting him back, they might have considered that more suspicious than they did.
Pronunciations (and translations): (mostly C&Ped from her bio, which is the only part of her character sheet I can still access on Roll20)
Zmija Yilan: zMEE-ah yee-LAHN. Ā Because I'm subtle as hell, that's Croatian/Russian/Ukranian (first name) and Turkish (last name) for "snake/serpent," according to the internet. Ā What do you mean Remus Lupin is a werewolf?!
Matrymriy: mah-tRRuh mRREE (Rs are rolled). Ā Matrymriy is Zmija's claimed patronāone of five major Zemlyashan dietiesābut she'll state that she doesn't know the name that she goes by in the local dialect. Ā That's only partly true, of courseāŠ¼Š°ŃŠø Š¼ŃŃŠ¹ is Ukranian for "Mother of Dreams" (at least according to google translate), which is close enough to her patron's actual names and titles (Dendar, the Night Mother) that she can get away with it without actually raising suspicions about the true source of her powers. Ā She'll also do that thing where if someone tries to say the name back to her she'll "correct" them by saying it exactly the same four or five times and then "give up" and accept whatever "butchered" version the speaker comes up with, except she'll do it even if they're actually saying it perfectly correctly. Ā She may do this with her own name as well (sorry, Jim. And Duf. And Dustin. And Kattii. And Kattii's coworker, if he ever joins us and I'm still playing this character by then, lmao.) (2021 addition: and literally everyone who has a name that isnāt typically pronounced by us English-only plebians, I am so sorry Iām not better at your language)
Zsaksatyi: dzahk sot-YEE. Ā Zmija's real name, when she isn't pretending to be a human. Ā That doesn't mean anything as far as I know, it was just a combination of some of the syllables the random Yuan-Ti name generator was coming up with that I liked (which is also where "Itszella" was from), lol. Ā I may end up changing it to be less cumbersome at some point, unless it comes up before then and ends up written in stone, but I'm on a bit of a time crunch for the moment.
Zemlya: zem-lyah. Ā If pressed for more detail on where in Zemlya she's from (e.g. by someone pretending to know details about her country), her home town is Fal'shyva (fall-sheh-VAH), southeast of the capital of Hayali (HI-yah-LEE) and just north of the port city of Farazi (fah-ra-DZI), which is where she originally sailed from seven years ago. ŃŠ°Š»ŃŃŠøŠ²Š° Š·ŠµŠ¼Š»Ń is Ukranian for "fake land," Hayali is Turkish for "imaginary," and Farazi is Turkish for "hypothetical," lol.
Proverbs & (approximate) Pronounciations:Ā (if I recall correctly, asterisks indicate ones I had used, so I didnāt repeat myself too frequently)

Fate/hollow ataraxia Part 3 - Chibi is Justice (Phase 3)
Lmao, I love how Avenger thought the way Bazett died against Assassin was so hilarious. It seems she's pretty numb towards the repetitive resurrections now though. Avenger is right though, Bazett is so violent lmao, she solves everything so practically and violently, it's pretty hilarious, especially when she got impatient at Avenger taking too long to unlock the gate to a Master's (looks like Rin's) house so she just broke in loll. It's pretty cute how Avenger protected her from the milk trap lmao. I wonder if the world Bazett is in, and the world Shirou and them are in aren't connected yet? It seems kinda connected since Shirou and Saber supposedly saw stuff like the house where those randoms died, and they saw the place where Bazett resurrects, but considering the fact that even though they both patrol around at night, yet haven't seen each other, do we need to get through a bit more things for it all to escalate?
I'm not sure if Avenger is the same Avenger that was supposed to be born in Heaven's Feel and whether his story is the same since he just kinda tells Bazett that Angra Mainyu isn't his real name because a friend sacrificed his life to save him, so he kinda just took the friend's name and repaid the world with it, so his hero name is basically honouring his friend whilst he's lost his identity. Anyway, lmao at Bazett telling him her background as if she's sharing her practical work experience lol. Her story in a sense is similar to the Matou since she's from an elite family that retained their unique power but lost influence as an important family, so she kinda tries to prove herself within the Magic Association even though they don't care or like her because their traditions and families are so ingrained, there's no place for anything else to shake the balance. It's funny how Avenger justifies it that he's right that she's technically 30+ (she's 23 lol) because she never really had a childhood so she's been an adult most her life lol.
Ohh so the reason why Shirou could never really "progress" was because of his lack of training. He hasn't done any sort of magic and training in so long! Aww the little kid Saber was watching playing soccer looks like a mini Shirou haha! Lmao when she threw the ball into the goal and everyone was stunned hahaha. HAHAHA, Saber kicked the ball and it brokeš¤£ so cute how Shirou fixed the ball for them. Wow, they've really upped their game for this fandisk! The battle sequence between Shirou + Saber against Archer was so fluent and cool! I really loved how Shirou was able to think of a pretty good plan of getting Saber to Archer super fast using his last Command Spell, so that she can cut him down right after he shoots his arrow and won't have time to react against her attack. It all looked really good too! I'm also really glad that Shirou was able to use his skills again. It's really been a while! However, when Saber asked if this was really all right, I wasn't really sure. Like, obviously they had no choice since Archer was out to kill them, but at the same time, if Archer was so ready to kill them, there must be something big going on that they're not aware of.
Okay, I legit died laughing when the mini game to defeat Illya and her castle came up lmaooo. It was so hilarious!! The chibi characters are so cute and lmaoo at Saber saying food names when she fights. Legit died when I used Excalibur and she said chashu men/noodles hahahahah, I couldn't concentrate on fighting hahahah. I love how Caster uses Assassin to fight, and it was so funny when Rider rode her Griffon because it looked like some chibi horse hahahaha. I loved the mini game, it was absolutely great. I want to play it again now lmao. Illya losing and then pressing a red button to destroy everything was such a funny finale hahaha. I love seeing the Taiga Dojo Taiga lmao. The quizzes are pretty funny lolll! I love the night quiz where Taiga wants to be the main heroine of Fate so bad lmaooo. Oh, and Sella giving Shirou a storeroom to sleep in was hilarious, poor Shirouš¤£ HAHAHA at Sakura getting petrified when Saber told her that Servants don't get fat from eating etc, especially since Sakura tries hard to maintain her weight and everything hahaha. I loved how Rider had to drag the Sakura who turned into a rock away lolll. It was so funny when Sakura called Rider a traitor since she never told her that her body won't change no matter how much they eatš¤£š¤£ Sakura is so cute, her and Shirou fighting over who should bath first was cute, but when he pushed her in and she started going crazy with her delusions thinking that they were going to bathe together in their swimsuits was just hilariousš¤£ Saber being scared of sinking in the water was pretty cute, lmao when she was dashing through the water though hahaha. Never thought she would be able to walk on water because she had the blessing of lake fairies lol. Aww it was so cute how Saber sunk into the water when Shirou said her body shape was nice and everything hahaha. Also lmao at Archer and Lancer invading their little picnic at the poolside and stealing their food lolll. I never really thought about it, but hearing Archer complain/give tips on how Shirou can improve his cooking is kinda cute and funny at the same time since he would know best what he needs to improve onš¤£ Anyway, I love it when Saber is such a sore loser that she forces Shirou into competing with her (in this case, swimming) until she wins and is satisfied with her wins hahaha. She's so proud of winning after it all too lmao.
Whoa, I didn't expect the H-scenes in Eclipse, I was so shocked lmao, I had to look behind my shoulder to make sure no one saw me because it was so sudden hahaha! Anyway, I've never been a fan of the Fate H-scenes so yeah, this wasn't any better imo. Lmao, I love how Himuro is so interested in Mitsuzuri's love life and wants to know who her boyfriend is, she's so weirdly obstinate, it's kinda funnyš¤£ I'll admit that I'm definitely warming up to the trio of Himuro, Makidera and Yukika now haha. It's so stupid yet hilarious how they're so insistent on finding out who Mitsuzuri's dating lol. They've got some crazy dedication haha, legit died when Taiga started thinking Shirou was becoming more and more of a player with all these girls lol. Honestly I know Minori (Mitsuzuri's younger brother) doesn't mean harm, but he really gets out of hand when it comes to his dislike for Shirou. Anyway, I'm glad Himuro dragged him away lol, and with that, I think I kinda like the idea of Minori and Himuro together hahahah. Lmao at the Mitsuzuri dating thing was actually because she was desperately looking for someone to be her boyfriend to win the bet with Rin, so she told her brother to disguise and pretend to be her boyfriend, that is pretty embarrassing hahaha.
LMAO at Archer and Lancer having a fishing battle or something, it's hilarious how petty Archer seems towards Lancer hahaha. Omggg Saegusa can see Kojirou and they're so cute and friendly together!? It's such a random match but I love them. They have such a peaceful atmosphere. LMAOOO when Shirou bluntly asked Illya if he could use her castle dining room for a dinner date and Illya thought it was her and there were like pigeons flying in the background, and then Shirou says for Sakura and she sulks in her chibi sketch form hahahahaha. I nearly died from laughter with that transition.
Ā Awwww! Sakura in the pink evening dress with ribbons on her hair (kinda like Rin) is so cutee! The dress in itself is kinda ugly tbh but Sakura is adorable. Awww Shirou in a tuxedo is pretty cute too! Anyway, I honestly think it's so sweet of Shirou to have granted Sakura's wish for a fancy dinner like this. Like sure, he really didn't do much besides have the guts to ask Illya for help, but the fact that he remembered her wish and did what he could to grant it was sweet enough. The way Shirou accepts everything about Sakura including all her flaws, and saying all that in his own clumsy way makes my heart so warm. Hearing Illya talk about some memories of Kiritsugu fondly makes me happy that there were at least a few memories they were able to cherish together. Seeing Illya so happy and excited to play and talk with Shirou always makes my heart so warm tbh. The CG of Shirou and Illya sharing a bed together is so heartwarming, I love it. She never got to see Kiritsugu ever again, but at least Illya now has Shirou who will always dote on her and do his best to protect her. Tbh, in the beginning, I really didn't like Illya and always thought there's no way I'll like this murderous little girl, but omg she's invaded my heart so much, I love her, and her relationship with Shirou. Sella and Liz interactions are so funny, I love how Liz is just outing her to Shirou about how Sella is afraid of ghosts lmao. HAHAHA, I loved how Shirou got so scared of whatever he saw in the wine cellar, he ran out and pulled Sella along with him, and described it to her when she told him not to hahaha. The funniest thing was that it was actually Liz with a halberd lmao, that is definitely scaryš It's interesting to know that Liz is actually the Dress of Heaven to kinda complete Illya, I'm not sure if I forgot that or if it was never mentioned, but now it's kinda understandable why Liz is a guess a bit more different compared to Sella who is basically full maid. Lmao, the more Sella and Liz appear, the more I love them. It was so funny when Liz gave him that possibly 200 years old card that is most likely cursed and then laughed as she left hahahaha. Omgg, it's so funny but I never really thought that Sella, Liz and even Illya drive to and from the castle!! Lmao when Shirou asked Illya if she drove a Bersercar HAHAHAšššš To be fair, that's what I would have assumedš
Archer saving the kitten stuck on top of a tree and then going on a long ass rant about heroes of justice was hilarious. But, I have to say, the things he said were pretty interesting and right to an extent, especially the idea of heroes stunting the growth of people like this kitten who will start to always think that someone like a hero will save them so they don't need to think about saving themselves. Anyway, now that Gilgamesh isn't in a "serious" game as he says, his silliness and ridiculousness is so much more funny. I love how careless he is to get caught up in crap but be too prideful to ask for help hahahah. And it was so funny when Rider dragged Saber away calling them losers for their masters' affections since Shirou and Sakura are going to the pool together and she doesn't want to interfere even though she probably wants to join lol. Aww Sakura in her swimsuit is cute. Okay, I change my mind, her side angle is hot hahahha. I can understand why Shirou was so stunned hahahah. HAHAHA, I nearly died of laughter when Sakura told Shirou she's not good at backstroke, and he said that would be awesome hahahahaha, he's a pervertš¤£š¤£ Omg that underwater kiss though! Shirou was being silly as usual, trying too hard to make Sakura happy and staying underwater past his limits, so she gave him "air" through the kiss haha, Shirou is lucky~ LMAO when Rider and Saber popped up at the pool hahahaha. Omg Rider's swimsuit is hot though, I love it. Sakura and Shirou holding hands back home is so adorableeee, I wish their date lasted longer~~ Aww Saber being fascinated by the penguin shaved ice machine is so cute! To be fair, I've always been interested in those too, they're so adorable! I would eat shaved ice just to play with it loll. Well, Bazett's "Noble Phantasm"-like thing is pretty much a cheat if you can negate Saber's Excalibur. But I wonder why everything keeps repeating itself? Oh, and I died when Shirou and Shinji had a "duel" at the harbour LOL, it was so random but hilarious hahahah.
Anyway, yayyy, I'm finally up to the next phase lol! Sure took me a while to finish this one up, I got distracted by so many things hahaha. But yeah, even though I take a long time to get through this game, I honestly really love it whenever I take the time out to read it. The slice of life shenanigans are the best way to brighten up my life lmao, they're all so funny!! I love how this phase really developed Liz and Sella, they're so much more likeable than I initially thought haha. All the swimming pool shenanigans were so funny and nice too. I'm definitely loving Sakura much more than before haha, and Saber has such a special place in my heart now, she's so silly lolll. I really hope to see Rin soon though!

Part 1/2 I was wondering if you had any ideas/headcanons wrt Eileen/Tobias? JK doesn't really go into how they met, but given the little info he gives us its pretty clear the type of marriage they had. But, I was wondering why Tobias acted the way he did. Not that he needs a reason, but I love backstories. Do u have one for the Snapes? Personally, I sawa bit of parallel with how Seamus described how his muggle dad didn't know his mom was a which until after the wedding. I can sort of see...
I wrote one for my first HP fic, in fact! Heavily influenced by Jane Austen lmao
I would change some aspects of this now, but this was the version I dug up from my Ancient Writings:Ā
(readmore, y u no work)
Eileenās parentsā marriage was arranged, as many pure-blood marriages are. The Princes were a very old, distinguished line, but impoverished, while her motherās family was relatively new, in a pure-blood sense, but wealthy. Her parents set up the marriage with Mr. Prince, who was rather older than their daughter, but she agreed to it. However, within a short time she was unhappy, since her husband, raised to frugality, was rather miserly and she was spendthrift; and being younger, she wanted to do a great many things that it was not in his temperament to agree to. When Eileen was about five or six, her mother ran away, abandoning her child and her marriage, eloping to Europe with a lover. Her husband was so humiliated and enraged that he forbade anyone in the household to speak her name ever again. He destroyed all evidence of her existence in the houseāthe possessions she had left behind, the paintings theyād had commissioned, even renouncing her personal house-elf. Even when he learned, three years later, that sheād died in conditions of poverty and hardship, it didnāt soften him toward her; instead, he only believed she had got what she deserved.
When Eileen was seven, he remarried, this time to a widow, one of the Blacks, who had endured a childless marriage of some fifteen years until her husband was killed rather stupidly trying to learn how to ride a dragon. She had no wealth, but Mr. Prince still had his wifeās fortune, and Mrs. Blackās impeccable bloodline meant more to him in any case. She and Mr. Prince were rather meant for each other, however: both were nip-farthings, both joyless and cruel, and both rigidly traditional. They believed in duty, propriety, and unstinting obedience from their children.Ā
Mrs. Black, now Mrs. Prince, thought worse of the former Mrs. Prince than even her husband did. To her, a womanās infidelity was the worst of vile sins, and she pitied her new husband for having married such a filthy whore. She was sorry that the former Mrs. Prince had left behind a little girl, since naturally the daughter of such a whore would turn out just like her.Ā
But Mrs. Prince was determined to do her duty by Eileen. She raised her to be a proper pure-blood wifeādutiful, obedient, graceful and silent. She beat into her the importance of propriety, telling Eileen how vital it was that she give no one any cause to say how like her mother she was, however much she would surely have the same sort of base, wicked urges as that slut. She also impressed upon Eileen the necessity of marrying into a pure-blood family of stature, since her mother was a fine example of the rubbish that rose to the surface of bad blood.
Within a few short years, the new Mrs. Prince had rewarded her second husband with twin sons. These boys had the benefit firstly of being boys, always a plus in pure-blood families, as well as the added bonus of not having a piece of trash for a mother. The practice of favoring the sons over the daughters was standard in pure-blood families, but the sins of Eileenās mother worsened her lot. Nothing Eileen ever did was right enough or good enough or proper enough in the eyes of her family; and at school she had no friends, since the pure-blood daughters of Slytherin were fully aware of her motherās story and had been forbidden from associating with her. Eileen was not pretty, and her home life was too miserable to make her good enough company to compensate for her other defects. Her father pretended she did not exist, her brothers teased and tormented her, and her stepmother ruled her whole life with a fist of iron.Ā
Eileen retreated into her schoolwork, into books and knowledge. In second year she did make one friend, a Ravenclaw named Constance Marlowe. Constance was a very tranquil person. Her mother was Muggle-born, and she would tell Eileen about her Muggle grandparents. Eileen had never met Muggles. Her father and stepfather loathed them, but they loathed Eileen, too, and loved her brothers and the pure-blood families who treated Eileen as if their cruelty was simply preempting every nasty thing they suspected she would ever do.Ā
Then in fifth year, while visiting the sea shore on summer holiday, Constance drowned. Eileen went to her funeral, to which many of Constanceās Muggle relatives had come. They looked like regular people, although they dressed funny. After that, Eileen hated the ocean, but realized that Muggles were capable of human thought and speech, which her family had always led her to believe they werenāt.
When school ended, she returned to live at her fatherās house, since pure-blood women of her familyās stature did not get jobs; they got married. But with Eileenās reputation, her looks, and her fatherās desire to spend as little money on her dowry as possible, she received no offers. Her blood was not even decent enough, balanced as it was by her motherās betrayal. So for more than ten years, Eileen lived in her fatherās home, a companion to her stepmother, an object of mockery to her brothers and the children they went on to have.
By the time she was thirty, everyone, even she, was certain she would never marry. Her stepmother even came to relax her restrictions, since she had kept Eileen wrapped so tightly out of a duty to maidenly propriety. A thin, unattractive thirty-year-old witch was not likely to be prey to any lascivious attentions or whims. Uncaring now of the reputation she had so viciously guarded, Mrs. Prince let Eileen out of the house for longer periods of time ā¦ although she might not have, had she known Eileen was visiting Muggle haunts.
On one of these jaunts, when she was about thirty-one, Eileen met Tobias. She had gone, in fact, to the seaside town where Constance drowned, perhaps out of a morbid desire to torture herself. He was there, too, trying to get away from his life for a bit, since heād just gotten divorced.Ā
He had married young when his girlfriend got pregnant unexpectedly. Heād done his duty by her, quitting school and going to work at the mill, but a few months before the day he met Eileen, his wife had sat him down and said sheād fallen in love with some other bloke, but she wanted to do right by Tobias because heād always done right by her. She and he werenāt in love, hadnāt been since the very early days, even if theyād rubbed along together easily enough, and he said as long as he could keep seeing his girl, theyād be all right. So they divorced amicably, and she married the other bloke, who was a bit older and balding and sort of fat, but a jolly sort, which Tobias had to admit he was not. Lorraineās new husband looked a bit like Santa Claus to Tobias, and he knew his daughter would like her step-father, if she didnāt already. And although as a young man heād agreed to the marriage of necessity and had never really been bitter about it, happy enough with his wife and daughter for company, he had wanted more from his life than heād wound up with at thirty-five: divorced, uneducated, in a dreary, pointless job.
As she was talking with him, Eileen realized she wanted more than anything to get away from her family. She realized how purely she hated them, as if the hatred ran through her blood. She decided to scandalize them utterly: packed up her marriage chest and ran away, to live with Tobias without marrying him, hoping to drive her father and step-mother both to an apoplectic fit, but at least one or the other if she could manage it.Ā
So she and Tobias simply lived together for a while, until Eileen got pregnant. She had been guarding against this, but the magical world had an old wivesā tale that wizarding babies wanted to be born so badly that sometimes, you couldnāt stop them. When she told Tobias, he wanted to get married, and although she didnāt really, she didnāt want her child to suffer the ignominy of being the bastard of a whore. So they were married, very quietly, only Tobiasā ex-wife in attendance with her family. Not wanting to give birth to a daughter that would live the life sheād had, Eileen mixed a very Dark potion to ensure the birth of a son.
So Severus was born. She put an ad in the Daily Prophet, hoping her family would see it, in case it would give them an aneurism.Ā
Before Severus was born, but when she was close to due, Tobias asked her if the baby would have magic. Eileen said, āIt is likely, but he may not.ā
āWhat happens if he doesnāt?ā Tobias asked.
Eileen shrugged. āThen he doesnāt.ā She wanted her son to be a wizard, but she was no longer in the magical world; a Squib child would not matter to her now. She had brothers; she was not even the end of the line.Ā
It was impossible to tell if babies had magic, so for several years after Severusā birth it was a moot issue. Eileen continued to work spells, because Tobias said he didnāt mind, he actually thought it was pretty interesting. And then one day when Severus was about four or five, he worked magic, and out of nowhere Tobias blew up at the pair of them. Eileen was so shocked she actually flinched away, because although she knew Tobias had a temper, heād never turned it on her. Severus burst into tears. And then Eileen pulled herself together and reacted, rage and hatred boiling up out of her through her wand, and she turned it on her husband, the way sheād always wanted to do to her brothers, her father, her step-mother, the children at school, and she blasted him across the room and into the bookshelf.
Severus screamed. Eileen stood frozen, looking at Tobiasā unconscious body slumped under an array of books. She blasted them off him and found he was bleeding from cuts all over his front. She hastily flooed them all to St. Mungoās, where he was swiftly patched up. Although the Healers gave her funny looks, they did nothing to her because she was a witch and he was only a Muggle, and there werenāt legal protections in those days for the Muggle spouses of wizards and witches.
Tobias wasnāt the same after that. Eileen didnāt know whether it was the shock of her turning her magic on him, or Severusā own magic manifesting, or even the trip to St. Mungoās, because his face as he looked around the hospital as they left had been haunted. After that, he began to drink more. Although heād always had a few on the weekends and even more on holidays, he was soon never seen without a drink in his hand or the scent of alcohol on his breath. He wouldnāt tell Eileen what was wrong, and it was impossible to get anything from the mind of a drunk person; even trying it made one disoriented.Ā
She expected him to leave them; expected to wake up one morning and find him gone, but for some reason he never did. They settled into a life where Tobias would go for days avoiding her and Severus, hardly speaking to them when sober, muttering when inebriated, with occasional outbursts of temper that Eileen would sometimes curtail, but at others simply weather out. As a young child Severus was at first frightened, then hurt, and once he grew older, resentful.
Once, when Severus was about seven, she did wake up in the middle of the night and find Tobias in Severusā room, watching him sleep. Tobias was just drunk enough to be honest. He looked up at her with haunted eyes and said, āDo you hate that I canāt do it?ā
āDo what?ā she asked, bewildered.
āWhat you can do. What he can do. Do you hate me because I canāt?ā
Eileen just stared at him. āIs that why you act like this?ā He didnāt say anything, just looked back at Severus. āNo, I donāt hate you. That would be like hating the sky because itās blue.ā
When he spoke, she almost didnāt hear him. āSometimes I hate you, though. Both of you.ā
It took Eileen much longer than it should have to understand what Tobias was really telling her: that he hated them for being able to do something he never would. He hated them for having the power of magic when he was only a Muggle. That look on his face in St. Mungoās had been shock at an entire world heād never guessed existed; and now that he knew of it, he also knew he would only ever be on the outside looking in.
But she had not understood this in time. She resented his drinking; he resented her powers; they resented each otherās resentment. And at the heart of it, they came to hate the other for a second chance that had turned to ash, just as the first chance had.Ā
Eventually Eileen realized that the same barrier that stood between her and Tobias had blocked him off from Severus, and she simply quit trying to bridge it. She drew Severus into the circle of her magic, eschewing any acknowledgment of the non-magical world he was half a part of. She had always meant Tobias to show him that part, and now Tobias would not. She taught Severus about his magical bloodline, the House of their familyās allegiance, the world he would enter once he was old enough, the powers he would wield. Although she punished him if he looked in her books without her permission, she taught him hexes and curses and spells that would get him respected among his Slytherin peers, that would receive him the notice of families he would need to impress in order to gain entrance into the society that should have been hisāboth of theirs, had her life gone much differently. She raised him more as she had been raised, in a manner typical for pure-blood daughters: with strictness and not much indulgence, because sheād loathed the men her brothers had become, alternately indulged and ruthlessly punished as they had been, as the beloved sons of two cruel, cold-hearted people.Ā
In teaching Severus about the world she had left, sending him off into the future he ought to have, Eileen realized she had never been happy in the world of magic. She had known the truth of that, lived it all her life, but never articulated it to herself. But she was not happy in the Muggle world, either; she did not understand it, couldnāt navigate it. It was too vast and unfamiliar for her even to know where to start. As she prepared Severus for Hogwarts, Eileen realized the only time she had been anything close to happy was in that seaside town when she had met Tobias, and she had believed, for a handful of days, that the future would be different from the past.
But it hadnāt been. Now Tobias was gone, and only Severus was left. And even though she had tried her hardest to make it otherwise, she realized that Severus was just as out-of-place as she had ever been; she, the daughter of a whore, the pure-blood wife of a Muggle with a wizard for a son. Severus was the child of two people whose lives had been wasted for them by others; sent as hardly more than a baby into the world of pure-blood politics with such a tiny arsenal of anything they would see as promise, in love with a naĆÆve Muggle-born Gryffindor. If Severus wanted the Muggle-born, he would cut all his chances of entering good society; and if he got the Muggle-born, he would find himself in the midst of people who regarded his magic with jealousy and suspicion.
That was the true curse of the half-blood, she thought. You were always trapped between worlds that didnāt know how to claim you.

*Snape doesnāt have those uncles anymore cuz they died off somehow, and he doesnāt have contact with his dadās first family. He doesnāt strike me as someone who has a large extended family he pals around with, although Iām sure they exist. I have 1 jillion cousins I know absolutely nothing about, not even their names.Ā Ā

ring ring ( prologue )
Pairing:Ā flower shop owner!Chris Evans x coffee shop manager!reader Word Count:Ā ~2.9k A/N:Ā i just really wanted soft!chris evans / potentially soft!sebastian stan - so i made it lmao. secret admirers and soft men? thatās what iām going for fam. iāll admit that itās a bit slow, but i promise itāll get to a better pace in the next part. also iāll probably make a proper header for the upcoming parts. feedback is always appreciated/loved aka iād probably cry if you gave it to me
While many trudge through the vicious cycle of mornings, struggling to fully stay awake on their commute to school or work, they forget about those who wake up earlier than them to provide their much needed coffee. Forgotten are the unsung heroes who wake up before dawn to help satisfy the caffeine craving.Ā Yet it was a position you proudly took on as manager of The Cozy Cup CafĆ©, a small yet charming coffee shop.Ā
You never wouldāve imagined staying on for as long as you had.Ā āThis is only temporaryā you told yourself heading into the interview. But something about the cozy environment and your fellow baristas made you stay on and eventually become manager.Ā
At this point in your life, The Cozy Cup CafĆ© felt like home to you. Everyone knew you and vice versa. You enjoyed chatting with your regulars, checking up on their family members and how their life was going. You liked helping new customers with choosing drinks, recommending your favorites and taking delight when they enjoyed it as well. In your down time you joked with the rest of the crew, finding a perfect balance between work and relax.Ā
Of course like any job there were certain downsides that came along. Often times the rude customers made difficult mornings into dreadful ones. There were those who tested your patience, making you sometimes wish you could snap back at them. One woman in particular always made you grind your gears from the first moment you met her.Ā
It had been a brisk February morning with a steady line forming at the till. People murmured out their orders to you, proceeding with the typical polite casualness. You didnāt expect much from most people, understanding the struggle of waking up. Then there was her. Right as you were about to chirp out a polite greeting and ask how she was doing, she immediately cut you off.Ā
āVenti, quad, soy, light foam latte with one packet of Splenda. For Scarlettā the woman announced, eyes refusing to look up from her phone as she rapidly typed on the screen. It was off-putting to have someone throw their order so bluntly at you, but you quickly scribbled down her order before setting it down for the barista to work on.Ā
A couple minutes later as you hopped on to help make drinks, you saw out of the corner of your eye the blonde woman staring you down as she drummed her fingers on the counter. A part of you wanted to ignore it, just pretend you didnāt see her so she would eventually leave. But the stare bore into you, forcing you to finally acknowledge her.Ā
āYou spelled my name wrong.ā She held out her cup for you to inspect, visibly irritated. Even after politely apologizing, she continued to glare at you.Ā āHow hard is it for you to spell Scarlett? Itās literally not that difficult. How did you mess that up?ā Getting yelled at about misspelling was new territory for you. You apologized repeatedly but to no avail; she sent you one final dirty look before huffing away. It only seemed natural to assume she had no plans of returning to the establishment.Ā
Oh, how wrong you would be. Instead Scarlett chose to become a regular. You dreaded the minute it turned seven forty-five knowing sheād come in most days, always irritatedly tapping her Louboutins behind the slower customers. No matter how hard you tried, she never showed any attempt of consideration towards you or the other workers. Nothing seemed to please her.Ā
āThereās too much foamā she would snap, placing the coffee on the counter ledge before shoving in your direction.Ā
āUgh, this is too sweetā she would spit out, making a face.Ā
āDid you drop the shot?ā she would chastise you.Ā āYou mustāve dropped the shot or else why would this be so disgusting and bitter?āĀ Perhaps to match her soul.Ā
Of course youād hold your tongue, politely apologizing and redoing her order. It almost was a given at this point that you would need to remake her drink any time she came in.Ā
Certain regulars like her made you wonder why they visited The Cozy Cup if they constantly seemed displeased. Sure the coffee was good, but was it really that addictive that they needed to bring their negative energy to your shop? Apparently so.Ā
You couldnāt help but question why a fellow named Sebastian frequented the cafe as well.Ā You initially swooned when he stepped foot into the shop. Every so often you saw him around town, knowing he owned the bar down the street. But just as quickly as your attraction came, it promptly dissipated with his curt attitude. Of course it never deterred you from trying to remain friendly. You would ask about his bar or how his day was going, hoping for just a bit of rapport. It seemed nearly impossible to have any connection with him seeing as questions were always received with one word responses and his eyes usually avoided yours.
Despite his quiet and gruff demeanor, you could sense his kindness. The smallest gestures proved it: from how he always tipped generously before heading out to cleaning up the sugar and milk counter even though it wasnāt necessary.Ā
Whenever his friends would join him on the coffee excursions, he seemed to tense up more than usual. Yet you knew he was a selective man and that he wouldnāt have brought them around unless he truly enjoyed their company. You liked his friend Anthony who always cracked jokes and made you laugh. His friend Tom was always polite with you, often asking about your day and how you were doing. When he casually mentioned how lovely you looked, you couldnāt help but blush. He complimented you frequently whenever he stopped by, which always prompted Sebastian to lightly shove him and tell him to knock it off.Ā
It was in those moments when you would finally make eye contact with Sebastian. There was always a look of concern, making sure his friend wasnāt overstepping boundaries. All it took was a simple nod for him to understand the flirtation hadnāt upset you. With that he would yank his friends out of The Cozy Cup, making you curious about the terse bartender.
For all its ups and downs, you loved your job. There was one part you looked forward to most, knowing it was quite unique. While most of your fellow baristas looked forward to their days off, you couldnāt wait for Wednesday afternoon to roll around.Ā
Every week like clockwork, the doors chimed and a bouquet of flowers arrived for you. A note would be attached along with the flowers, often singing affectionate praises and adoration. This sweet and constant gift sent your heart fluttering, making you wish you knew who your secret admirer was.Ā
The first time it occurred, it completely caught you off guard. āThese are for youā the delivery man announced proudly, handing a bouquet of lavender roses. You blinked as you slowly took the flowers into your arms. There were more than two dozen, delicate ribbon tied on the ends. A small, pink note was tucked in the center with your name written in calligraphy. Pulling the note out, your face flushed when you realized it was a love letter. The note wasnāt long, but it was enough to overwhelm you.Ā
You quickly thanked the delivery man before sitting down to fully process what happened. Someone customized a special delivery just to tell you how special you were? The gesture was thoughtful and romantic, something you never expected to happen. As happy as you were, you assumed it was a fluke and that it wouldnāt occur again.
When a bouquet of pink and white gerbera daisies were delivered the next week, your face reddened like mad in front of the customers. So this wasnāt just a one time deal. You took them from the delivery man, spinning on your heels and heading to the back. Once out of sight, you buried your head in the flowers overwhelmed at how beautiful they were. As the weeks progressed, you begun looking forward to Wednesday afternoons and the sweet promises of flowers and loving words.
One of the best parts of these flower arrangements was who delivered the bouquets. Of course he wasnāt just the delivery man but the owner of the flower shop. The first time he stepped inside the cafe and introduced himself as Chris, nerves took over and all you could do was politely nod. Now you spoke to him with ease, but your excitement whenever he came in never faded.Ā
Even before the deliveries you often saw Chris around. Whenever business was slow, all you had to do was look up and across the street to see him occupied with his orders and arrangements. You would watch him burst into laughter at something one of his workers said, throwing a hand on his chest, as if he could barely contain his happiness. It made you wonder what his laugh sounded like, what it would be like to hear him laugh at jokes you made. You never met the beautiful man who owned the flower shop until he came in personally to deliver the bouquets to you.Ā
Lizzie, one of the baristas and one of your best friends, always playfully teased you once Chris left.Ā āWhich thing are you more excited for: the flowers or the man bringing them?ā sheād ask. Youād roll your eyes at the question knowing full well that you enjoyed both. Why would you ever need to choose one over the other? But sometimes you couldnāt help but tiptoe over the line of wanting Chrisās company over the flowers.Ā
It became a weekly occurrence that he would stick around after the delivery, simply chatting with you while sipping on a cup of coffee. He spoke about his family and how much he adored their visits. He loved talking about his dog, which he often showed you multiple photos of the sweet creature. āYouād love himā he swore. If he was just as sweet as his owner, you were sure youād get along well. Sometimes you wished that the conversations would last longer, but you knew he needed to return back to his business and you needed to help other customers.Ā Ā
As Wednesday rolled around, you anxiously waited for the arrival of Chris. He usually swung by around one thirty when the cafe was at its slowest. After the lunch rush you checked your phone every so often in hopes that the seconds would go by faster. No such luck.Ā With no one in the shop, you decided to Lizzie on her break as you tidied up. It wasnāt until the door chimes rung softly that you glanced up to see Chris pushing open the door.
āHey thereā he greeted you, one hand full of a bouquet of flowers while he waved to you with his free hand.Ā
āOh. Lizzie not here today?ā he asked, glancing around the cafe.Ā
You shook your head.Ā āSheās on break right now.ā
āAhā he nodded in response. He grinned as he looked around the empty shop.Ā āSo itās just you and me now, huh?ā
āYup. Just you and meā you echoed, a pink tinge appearing on your face.Ā
āI like the sound of thatā he laughed. You couldnāt get enough of his laugh. There was something so infectious about it that you couldnāt help but smile hearing it.Ā
He approached the counter, gently handing over the bouquet. This weekās flower arrangement featured gardenias and blue violets. Plucking the note from the side, you read it to yourself.Ā āI wonder if you notice me the same way I notice you. I canāt help but wonder if everyone else can sense how much I enjoy being in your presence. Is it obvious for the world to see? Do I stutter too much or is my face too heated? Only you have me flustered like no other. Would others laugh if they knew or encourage this pursuit? But then I realize that I only care about one personās opinion. And that if it was only you who noticed and you felt the same way I did, it would be enough for me. - Your Secret AdmirerāĀ
āI love itā you breathed out softly, fingers tracing the petals.Ā
āGlad to hear it. Iāll let your admirer know that youāre just in love with this one as you were the last.ā You couldnāt help but giggle at his comment. Every week you were always in awe that the only thing you could say was how much you loved it.Ā
āDo you choose the flowers in the arrangement or does, um, the other person?ā There was hesitancy in your voice for saying the wordĀ āadmirerā. You knew that was what you had, but it felt almost cocky if you were to let the word slide out of your mouth so easily.Ā
Chris shrugged.Ā āItās fifty fifty. Sometimes he chooses them. Sometimes he just wants to send you something beautiful that he leaves the arrangement up to me.ā
āAnd today? Who chose it?ā
He paused upon seeing your eagerness.Ā āI think Iāll leave it a surpriseā he decided, causing you to frown.Ā āHey, cāmon now. When the time is right, youāll find out who your admirer is.āĀ
With that, you decided to drop the subject. Setting the flowers and note aside, you began making his usual order as he conversed with you. He spoke about the movie he watched last night and how he though youād quite enjoy it even if the ending was terribly cheesy. You nodded along to his words but found yourself thinking about your admirer.
So many thoughts raced inside your head. Did you know him? Or did he just know you? Was he a regular or had you met him in some other place? Was it adoration at first sight or had it taken a while for you to grow on that person? These questions plagued your mind, making you wish you knew the answers. Of course the question you wanted to know most of all but knew never to ask sat at the very tip of your tongue: was Chris your admirer?Ā
You never wouldāve thought of it if Lizzie and Letitia, your other best friend, hadnāt planted the concept.Ā āIt makes perfect sense. What better way to get to talk to you by faking an admirerā Leti suggested one night at your apartment. The three of you were spending a night in trying to relax when the topic of your secret admirer came up.Ā
āShe has a good pointā Lizzie agreed, nudging your shoulder. You waved off the idea but the two of them persisted.Ā
āHeās a total catch, but in this day and age people donāt do the whole straightforward deal. Thatās why Lizzieās on Tinder and Iām doing those online dating sites.ā Lizzie scowled, tossing a pillow at Letitia.
āLetās be real here. This just gives him more time to hang out with you. And youāre a total catch, Y/N. He now knows what makes you swoon and heās probably just trying to find the right time to admit heās sending the flowers and notesā Leti insisted.Ā
Even though you laughed it off, you couldnāt shake the idea that Chris might actually be your admirer. And honestly, you loved that idea. Everything about him seemed so perfect that you wanted it be true. But there were no obvious hints for you to definitively say it was him. And the only way for you to find out more information was to talk to the only person who knew the truth.Ā
āSo no hints at all to the flower giver?ā you eventually asked, letting your curiosity get the best of you. Though your earlier conversation had been about football, your random interjection didnāt bother Chris in the slightest.
āWhat would the fun be in that?ā he teased, leaning in closer to you.Ā
āIt would make it a lot easier for me to use a personās name rather than calling them āflower giverā or āpersonāā you pointed out.Ā āOf course, I love all of this. I really do. But, well, itās been a couple months. I figured they mightāve given me at least a hint by now.āĀ
He hummed as he pondered this notion. āWell, letās just say your admirer is a lot closer than you think.ā Was this him admitting that he was your admirer? It felt like a sign. Your heart raced as both of your eyes locked with one another. How could you even tear yourself away from those dreamy blue eyes?Ā
āChrisā a familiar voice snipped. Both of you looked at the entrance where your least favorite customer stood. Her arms crossed, she tapped her heel irritatedly waiting for him. Oh? So they knew one another. This news caught you by surprise seeing how she came across as bitter as espresso beans while he resembled the sweetness of hot cocoa. But perhaps people like Chris were meant to spread kindness to everyone, even those as harsh as her.Ā
āWell Iāll see ya later!ā he called out, giving you one last smile before joining Scarlett. She brushed her hand through his hair, lips firmly pressed together. Taking one last glance at you, she caressed his cheek before roughly kissing his mouth. The kiss seemed to take both you and Chris by surprise, both of your eyes widening at the aggressive display of affection.Ā
āLetās goā she stated to the visibly flustered Chris.Ā The way her hand immediately grasped his once she finished made it clear: he was hers and youād be foolish to go against her.Ā
Oof. Thatās rough, buddy.

Yeah I remember the cast but not what the dramas were about lol. It's funny though, because I like romantic C dramas, but I think that's because the romance isnt always the centre of the drama even though it's a romance drama if that makes sense?? For me anyway I've found that they balance out more aspects of life that just the pure focus on romance, but K drama romances are hit or miss for me. (Especially the earlier ones, dear lord)
š so you know what hes spelling. But you're gonna pretend not to know and hes gonna tilt his head with a smile. "You don't know yet? I'm going to have to do something so you'll always remember then."
- š¦
Oh my private life was about her being a fansite LMAO and she ended up having to work w a celebrity or smth and secretary kim is just literally ceo x secretary fanfiction š
rip im chinese but i havent watched a single c drama in my life cause i just dont have the capacity to watch many things nowadays, i am watching american horror stories and like,,, marvel's what if though KSKSKS im either fucked up or a nerd š
also no imma stop you right there idn to know what he does next pls dont oh my god i just got home and about to shower PLEASE for the love of god

Weird!Robin Info I forgot + Part 5: Can i get a fucking uhhhhhh juice that makes you god?
(part 1/ part 2/ part 3/ part 4/ part 5/ part 6/ part 7/ part 8/ part 9/ part 10)
Hehe details I either forgot to write in or didnāt come up w/ until just now lmao
Robin had been pretty socially isolated as a child. He made a few not very close friends in the library and Mage School. Whenever his moms were home, Robin always prioritized them, and because of this, barely saw his friends for a few weeks. When they were away, Forneus made Robin him spend a lot of his time with him and saw his nephew as a way to cope with his own social isolation.
Robin figured out he was trans around the age of 17, and his family was very supportive of him. Circe and Eliza gathered medicinal herbs on their travels that Forneus used to make HRT potions, and Forneus helped him find a top surgeon in Thabes. This strengthened Robin and Forneusā relationship as Robin started looking up to him for āwhat does it mean to be a manā and transitioning things, and Forneus intentionally used this opportunity to gain more of his trust, especially with his momās being away.
A little while after starting his tactician position, Robin decided to get magically infused tattoos to strengthen his wind and thunder magic. He went to a sorceress who used a dye made of the blood of crows, birds, and ground up fulgurites (melted and cooled sediment clumps that form when lightning hits the ground). He primarily used thunder magic and a little Levin knife to defend himself or make tactical strikes when his soldiers couldnāt.
Anna trapped Circe and Eliza in a realm where time passes extremely slowly relative to their native realm/Archanea (like some version of the Fairy world). It seems like an extensive, empty forest with strange, but mostly benign creatures. Iāll elaborate more on their escape in future parts.
Throughout this time, Nagaās been like āyeah it sucks and is kind of weird that some people in Thabes are turning the dead into puppets with bugs, but itās not the end of the world or something really, really bad. Iām not truly the goddess you humans think me to be, this is not my responsibility or within my domain of power.ā
Robin is 18 at the start of Part 5. Forneus is ~55, Circe is ~38, and Eliza is ~39.
Part 5: Can I get a fucking uhhhhh juice that makes you god?
One night, Robin came into Forneusā study with a proposition. He said, āAll my work so far, its helped people but itās not enough. Iāve been thinking about Thabes, about Naga. She was able to raise up and protect Thabes for so long before she left. I want to do good in this world, but I canāt do enough as just me. Uncle Forneus, do you think you could give me that power? With her flesh and blood from below the city, I could do so much more. I have divine dragon blood in me already, so small amounts of it should safe. By my research and estimates, Iāll only need a fraction of her power to fill the role she had in Thabesāspreading vitality to crops, bringing rains, stuff like that. Uncle, could you do this for me?ā
Forneus was both surprised and overjoyed that Robin had proposed this to him. He almost slipped up, but managed to reign in his enthusiasm and pretend that he had not been planning to do this regardless of Robinās feelings for the past 15 years. When Forneus agreed, it was the first time he saw him smile genuinely in weeks. That week, he went to work, refining the elixirs, measuring out doses, and making a few final tests. He found that avian blood greatly stabilized the divine mixture and added it to the final product. In the next week, he had the first dose ready, and his long awaited experiment began. For the first few weeks, there were no significant changes, other than Robinās irises reddening and looking like those of a manaketeās. Robin was fine with this slow start and expected the elixirs to take time to work, especially with his experience with HRT. Forneus was not so content with this slow pace, fearing that nothing was going to change, and increased the dosage without telling him. After this, Robinās magic became much stronger, and he started the painful process of growing wings out of his back, and feathers out of his face. Robin chalked this and his ārecoveringā from his āillnessā both to the unknown and mercurial nature of divine dragon blood experiments.
In the next few months, Robin focused on relearning how to balance and walk with his new wings and controlling his magic. The wings that grew were strangeāthey each had an eye he could see out of and a claw. What was most concerning, was that they were both right-sided wings, and one of them was upside down. Because of this, he found any flying beyond slowing a fall or hovering for a few seconds near impossible at his current level of skill. Robin was puzzled and slightly horrified at this, and Forneus hypothesized that even with his divine dragon blood to stabilize the elixir, the decaying nature of Nagaās flesh and blood was still a source of corruption. With this in mind, Robin became more hesitant about continuing and asked his uncle to decrease the dosage, to which Forneus begrudgingly did only slightly. Robin found that his magic became stronger and could magnify the power of spells. With it, Robin could influence the weather and increase the vitality of the land. The Senate tested his skills and gave him plots of land to nourish.
Robin made great progress over the next 3 years, and in the Senateās perspective, justified all the expense for Forneusās research. Because of his newfound work, Robin started meeting and getting to know more people, and found joy and purpose in these things alongside his work as a tactician. Robin didnāt seem to notice how much time passed, how quickly it did, or that he hadnāt aged since taking the elixirs. Forneus had been keeping notes and logs on Robinās progress, and was slightly alarmed at this and how he had started to seem inexplicably less human-like. In a way, he still seemed like his sweet, 18 year old nephew rather than something akin to a god and commander of a shambling army. However, Robin was awake at all hours, barely needing sleep anymore. He seemed much calmer than he ever had, and a strange, buzzing energy emanated from him. Robin was hardly concerned when Forneus brought up the changes he had seen in him. He felt whole and fulfilled and happy for the first time since his moms had left his life.

The week in review:
Raw 11/16 NXT 11/18 NXT UK 11/19 Smackdown 11/20 Survivor Series 11/22
Raw:
Appreciate Lana providing logic to the creation of this match.
āIs this a Disney movieā lmao.
Honestly Shayna works better as a henchman than as a final boss.
Love Lanaās theme btw.
rip Mandy.
Ugly kick by Asuka. Not a compliment.
hahaha Lana tagged herself into the match while Shayna had Asuka in the clutch. hahahahah.
āYou suck, get outā rofl.
Asuka youāre trash for not saving Lana. Truly.
āIām actually really proud of you, you showed a lot of courage tonight.ā Nia is funny. A bitch and a bully, sure, but funny.
Thereās number 9. rip.
First of all, Danaās shaky interview was going really well, and I wish they had let her finish it cuz god knows she needs the practice.
Second, WHY IS MIA YIM ATTACKING DANA OF ALL PEOPLE?
Iām not sorry, I shamelessly love Bray and Alexa together, goodbye.
āYour word is... jackassā lmaooo why is he even doing a spelling bee to prep for this match.
rip Rambling Rabbit for the 38th time.
What makes him being killed so damn demented is not only the way he exhibits agony and suffering as he dies, but the way they STAND BY LAUGHING UNCONTROLLABLY. This is the definition of sociopathy.
āBullseye!āĀ āMore like... Rabbitās heart!ā *continues laughing hysterically* jfc.
Really love how Alexa puts her hand beneath her chin and then waves. That goes along with her characteristics developed since the fairy gimmick in nxt back in 2014/2015, to the cosplaying mean girl in 2016/2017/2018, to the babyface in 2019/2020. Also adds another layer with her gloves. Love that.
Nikkiās wandering around looking for Alexa, when clearly she should be looking for the Firefly Funhouse. I suggest asking Seth or Randy.
āFriends never give up on each other,ā they also donāt give each other ultimatums cuz thatās toxic af, but okay.
She keeps running her mouth about Fiend and I can already see Alexa demolishing her for it.
LOVE the cohesion in going from one segment to the other as Sarah runs around looking for an interview. Fitting since thatās obviously her job, but it went together smoothly. They really come off as tmz lol.
I appreciate how Miz doesnāt want to fuck with Bray cuz he knows Bray will just torment his family lol. I also appreciate his reasoning because heās a true opportunist. he doesnāt want to exhaust himself with this match cuz he might cash in later.
Love Alexaās remixed theme, itās jarring af. Walking red flag btw.
Oh nooo Nikki what are you doinggg.
Iām not a fan of how Nikki sold this interaction. Didnāt feel natural at all.
OH SHIT the sound of that slap, oof.
Oh my god I love how Bray came out and glared at Nikki. FANTASTIC. Absolute gold. Then he just smiles at Alexa as she takes his arm to escort him to the ring.
And the way the camera focuses back on Miz and Morrison... Mizās face... I canāt, this is tremendous tbh. What a great story to run throughout this weekās Raw.
lmfao the way Alexa stuck her head between the ropes to scare Morrison. Ugh this pairing is easily my favorite thing in wwe rn.
Interesting, so Bray protects her. A fair duo.
I will never not cringe at watching people pretend to break someoneās neck by twisting it to the side. If I was a wrestler, thatās a move I would NEVER allow to be done to me.
On the plus side, Alexa took out Morrison and he sold it really fucking well. On the negative, it seems that distracted Bray as heās more concerned for her well being now.
Oh my god the way Alexa reappears from behind the barricade. Creepy as shit.
Love watching herĀ ābalanceā on the barricade considering she was one hell of a gymnast in her day.
Now donāt get me wrong, Iām all for watching Lacey progress in the ring, cuz I think her character work is just fantastic, but holy shit what a downgrade going from Mandy and Dana to Lacey and Peyton.
Why is she excited? Why is it exciting to fight Sasha? Maybe Asuka shouldāve taken that match a bit more seriously, considering the outcome. But Iām jumping ahead of myself.
āNo one is ready for Asuka,ā except for Charlotte, Becky, Shayna, Alexa, Sasha...
I do appreciate how Lacey isnāt scared of anyone while Peyton is wary of literally everyone. Thatās good. Nia has a point though, yāall couldāve used Mandy. I guess it doesnāt matter though, considering the outcome. Jumping ahead of myself again.
āWorst idea since Quibiā lmao shots fired.
*Bonus* Peyton/Lacey online exclusive: they vibe real well off script. Peyton made points saying she canāt wait to teach Lacey how to be on a team. Thatās valid cuz Lacey is NOT much of a team player. Points to Lacey though, sheās funny as hell.
Highlight: Alexa Bliss
---
NXT:
Awesome hearing War Pigs during that Shotzi promo. Is that the official theme song for War Games? If so, baller to wwe for shelling that cash out.
Iām guessing Shotzi was fixing her tank? Was that the premise? Regardless, the setting was different and interesting.
I really like the fencing around nxtās ringside. Fits with the grungyĀ āindieā feel.
God Iām gonna have to watch Candice defeat Kayden and Kacy arenāt I?
Indi bought the Garganos a flat screen tv? :/ mk. What does she have to gain? Johnny was an AWFUL champion and Candice has never even held gold. What is she hoping to accomplish?
āIndi is gaining one of the best mentors in the nxt locker roomā lmao WHAT.
omg Kacy and Kayden are so fucking entertaining, I feel like I say this every time I watch them. All tag teams need to TAKE. NOTES. Look at that cohesion and teamwork. Whew.
Hold on donāt try to retcon Tegan as leaving Candiceās side. I hate Tegan even more than I hate Candice, and she was a shite friend to Dakota by proxy of being a spineless dweeb, but do not try to paint Candice as the victim in her feud with Tegan.
I know nothing about the Dakota/Candice friendship but Iād go ahead and blame Dakota since sheās hella douchey lmao.
Imagine thinking Indi is an upgrade from Dakota. Commentary is super funny and distracting tonight lmao.
Was that not a flatliner? Sure looked like an intended flatliner.
So Kacy attempts to kill herself in the process of taking out Indi and none of the cameras caught it? :/ we still using interns looking for college credits in production? Is that whatās happening??
Vic is kind of an awful commentator in his actual calls.Ā āNice suplex, almost a brainbusterā better hope that was a brainbuster cuz if not, that was the saddest fucking suplex Iāve ever seen in my life.
So Kacy almost kills herself using offense against Indi and Indi was coherent first? Ugh anyway.
Why do we have to listen to Ember speak every week? What a terrible idea.
So now sheās gonna be nxtās savior by getting rid of Dakota and Raquel? Oh for fuckās sake.
Why does she have fucking soda tabs on her gear still.
Why is she teaming with Toni. I THOUGHT THEY WERE HEELS. Seriously, am I the dumb one? Am I the one who needs their hand held? Has Ember not been acting like a heel since she returned? Am I the only one confused about Toniās alignment??
āWeāve fallen victim to the numbers gameā WHEN have you fallen victim to the numbers game, Toni? WHO WROTE THIS.
I know nxt wants me to give a shit about Ember and Toni, but good luck making me care about anyone down there more than Dakota or Rhea.
I would really appreciate it if Dakota was moved up to the MR without actually showing any dissention from Raquel.
Dakota calls a lot of matches, Iāve noticed. Pro shit.
Toniās German suplexes are amazing if sheās actually never hurt anyone, cuz MAN they look gnarly af.
Gorgeous tornado ddt by Ember. Nice speed, great handling by Raquel.
Donāt Dakota and Toni have quite the history? From UK?
Today in wrestling commentary: Vic cannot tell the difference between left and right.
Whoa I just noticed Dakota isnāt wearing her knee brace. Thatās kind of monumental, right? Isnāt that a big deal? I feel like thatās a big deal.
Honestly I might like Toni more than Ember. She comes off as a lot more likable since her move to nxt.
Oh Christ I gotta see Candice again.Ā
Hi why isnāt this main eventing? Do Rhea fucking Ripley and Io fucking Shirai not deserve it?? For real???
Hate it when refs hold the title up crooked. Noob.
Holy shit Ioās speed is TOP. TIER. Whew.
And then slips on the turnbuckle, sad. Couldāve been worse, couldāve been a Shotzi wipeout (and thatās what Iām gonna call it from now on)
What Io has in speed, Rhea has in strength, these are the facts.
Why did Vic cut Beth off by saying exactly what she was in the middle of saying? Vicās losing a lot of points tonight tbh.
oof gnarly German suplex off the second rope by Io.
Oh my, Rheaās ear is covered in blood. Must have punctured her ear with an earring. Rough. I say this as someone who has her fair share of piercings: it BOGGLES MY MIND why any of these women wrestle with their piercings in lmao. No maāam.
Brutal match, whew.
Rhea wiped her own blood on her face.
There are some aprons spots with Rhea obviously waiting around that needed some work.
Rhea can sell, certainly, but her screaming is way too dramatic at times. Most notably at wm in the empty arena, but this match is a close second. Almost borders on annoying.
Niiice Rhea adding a nice vortex spin on the tail end of her cloverleaf submission. Points. Keep that.
Oh that Riptide attempt countered into an armbar by Io. BEAUTIFUL.
I liked that. Io goes for the 619 in the middle rope, Rhea ducks. Io goes for the 619 on the lower rope, Rhea dodges. Io strikes her a couple times, Rhea falls to the opposite side of the ring and Io proceeds to hit the 619. Good stuff.
Lol Ioās smiling at Rhea kicking out of the missile dropkick.
Nice flip off of Rheaās clothesline but Iām not a fan of Io landing her moonsault on her feet. Thatās not really her M.O.
Fucking spiked Rhea with a ddt by countering the Riptide again. Thatās a solid champion, has her opponent completely scouted.
Beautiful sunset flip powerbomb through the ropes with Rhea landing through a table. Wouldāve been cool if Rhea had let go right away, though.
In kf, I give points to Rhea for dragging herself from the rubble just to eat a clean pin. Great match.
Highlight: Io vs Rhea

NXT UK:
Wow robbing me of KLRās entrance. Guess Piper is officially the heel.
Quit calling her aĀ ānewā Piper Niven. A slight aggression is hardlyĀ ānewā
BE CAREFUL WITH KLRāS SNAZZY COAT.
Yāall got tape out? Have we learned nothing from Bayley/Sasha hiac?
CHUCKED A FUCKING RING BELL INTO PIPERāS HEAD LMAO
Ugh headbutt that takes everyone out. Tsk.
Ric who? Charlotteās dad??
Who do I gotta pay to see KLR vs Becky Lynch in an extreme match?!
KLR rolls away after that fisherman buster on the outside. Smart points.
Alright listen Iām on KLRās side but WHY IS JINNY OUT HERE
Lol smacked Piper with a āno entryā sign. Haha.
And Piper broke a sign over KLRās head, followed by puns from the commentators.
rip random guitar.
Match doesnāt have any creative spots really, but they sure know how to utilize random objects.
BRO YOU CANāT TAKE A STEEL PIPE TO HER KNEE ON CONCRETE, THATāS HELLA RUDE. KLR lit a fire under Piperās ass and Piperās trying to retire her as thanks. Super, super rude.
Fuck her up fam, I donāt even feel bad.
??? Did KLR even land through the table or did she just land straight onto the fucking concrete? Jesus Christ man. No, she didnāt, she slid into the second table and just ate the floor. Oh my god. IS SHE OKAY??
Highlight: That vicious ending gained KLR a lot of respect in my eyes
---
Smackdown:
Imagine being surprised that Adam chose the longest reigning SD womenās champion as his team captain. Granted sheās probably despised by everyone, but sheās got the pedigree, come on now.
Look how good Bayley looks. Whew.
āYou know what time it is? Bayley time.ā sheās so annoying rofl.
Wow riveting stuff, I have zero comments about this 2 min match tbh.
Go stand in the ring with your damn captain, Bianca.
Lmao Bayley allergic to hugs now. Character progression.
Itās quite the team Iām ngl. I just wish we couldāve wrapped up this Sasha/Bayley shit like... months ago so we could enjoy captain Bayley for a bit longer. Gonna burn through this in one damn episode. Itās a bummer.
*Bonus* Nattieās online exclusive:Ā āI sailed through some rough waters [...] Iām smart, Iām sexy, Iām funny, Iām richā She is funny, I will give her that.
Weāre getting Asuka/Sasha face to face? For real? Okay.
Cute, Sashaās smile toward Asuka actually looked genuine. I miss when Sasha seemed genuine. Itās like Bayley killed that part of her.
āMichael are you forgetting what time it is?ā BAYLEY TI--Ā āIt is boss time, baby!ā welp my mistake.
Iāve played Asukaās dialogue to Sasha 3x and I still have no idea what she was saying because of her ridiculous fucking dancing and animation. Iām tired. Bayley come take her title.
Omg now sheās doingĀ āyou canāt see meā SHE ACCOMPLISHES NOTHING I absolutely despise her being champion.
Actually she is ready for Asuka, and Iām gonna take great joy in watching her win this Sunday. Sasha is hella unlikeable until the moment that bell rings, then sheās a god. Is what it is.
Booo Sasha was actually doing good on the mic, how dare you ruin that, Carmella.
Asuka is awful. Even Becky and Ronda fought off common enemies once upon a time. Asuka helps legit N O B O D Y. Awful champion.
Highlight: Captain Bayley
---
Survivor Series:
Love Sashaās gear.
Asuka kicked out at one, quick everyone cry about her selling. Oh wait sheās not Charlotte, my bad.
Beautiful attempt at an armbar by Sasha, whew.
Sasha is so good at this whole wrestling thing lol.
Nice pop up from that backstabber.
Right and in contrast, Asuka is an amazing striker.
Oh a codebreaker to Sasha as she dangles from the second rope. Gorgeous move.
Ahhhh the blue haired god got the job done. I knew sheād win but itās so gratifying to see.
Not much to say about the match. The spots werenāt brutal or super creative/innovative, but it had GREAT back and forth and really showcased their chemistry in technical wrestling. Also might very well have been the best match theyāve had yet, seemed pretty short though. Still, an enjoyable watch. Good for Sasha.
Lol the disdain in Niaās face as she looks at Lana.
Look, Bayleyās arm band saysĀ ācaptainā so sheās the captain.
Love seeing how creative people get with their gear at Survivor Series, as opposed to just throwing a damn brand shirt on. Looking at you, 2016.
One thing Iāve learned about Bayley is if she calls you sister, she genuinely likes you behind the scenes. So glad to see Lacey is in her good graces.
Omg Lacey learned how to do a kip up, everybody clap.
Love how the light shines off of Nattieās gear. Got rainbows popping.
Squatting while stalling a suplex, and synchronized kip ups. Bianca and Nattie are fun.
āBayley and the great Becky Lynch,ā Oh shit, peep that RESPECT weāre putting on her name now? She getsĀ āthe greatā?? wwe finally seeing her on the same level as āthe greatā Charlotte Flair??? I am shook. Good for her, fucking deserved (also poor Bayley rofl)
Lana tags herself in again lmao. Nia 5 seconds from killing her. Look, Lana tries. Let her try.
I canāt breathe. she been put in timeout.
(referring to a move by Peyton)Ā āI give that a perfect 10ā PPPFFFFTTTT
What a bump by Bayley; a suplex off the top rope onto the entire roster on the outside, and what a great locker room leader to be checking on everyone IMMEDIATELY as if she didnāt just fucking take a massive bump. Also poor Lana standing over there watching the fun lol.
Now I already knew Peyton pinned Bayley cuz of the outrage by Bayley fans who deemed herĀ āburiedā afterward, but I think it was a poor decision to have Peyton get that pin. Peyton sucks, not sorry. Have Lacey get that pin before Peyton. Actually, have Lana get that pin before Peyton.
Not sure what Nattie was going for with that submission to Peyton, but she improvised real quick. So points.
Doesnāt Nattie usually wear wrist guards? Awkward seeing her without them.
Goes for a sharpshooter on a woman whoās not even active rn. Iām removing her points lmao.
I legit never get to see Biancaās 450 splash and you know what? Fuck yāall.
Well Biancaās a great partner to do a Spanish Fly with so, good on Lacey.
Thatās an interesting elimination. Ruby wouldāve pinned Shayna as she had rolled back and reversed the Clutch, but the ref was distracted by Nia. By the time he started counting, Ruby had passed out. Interesting.
Crucifix Bomb by Liv eliminates Lacey, fucking dope.
Having Bianca as the last survivor on her team is great for Bianca. This is a compliment from management.
BEAUTIFUL catch by Shayna into the Clutch. Wow that was nice.
Ah we redoing the spot from their Takeover match, IE my introduction to Bianca. Solid.
Oh this is good. Bianca passed out from the Clutch while on the ropes so Shayna was disqualified. Nia drug Bianca out of the ring to put her through the announce table and they started brawling until they were both counted out.Ā
Again, I knew Lana was the sole survivor but seeing it happen is fucking hilarious. Nice protection for Bianca though, and seeing Nia this pissed off is so cathartic.
Highlight: Bianca was the real standout imo
---
*Survivor Series shined the brightest as we had both a great technical match, and a fun, entertaining multiwoman match filled with shenanigans. If thatās a cop out, then Iāll give it to NXT this week.Ā

Hey, could I please have a match-up? ( Ķ”Ā° ĶŹ Ķ”Ā°) I'm pretty shy at first & really insecure about everything. I tend to come of as cold-hearted & arrogant but I DO care very much about the people I like & I'm very different around them, more open & warm etc. I'm pretty pessimistic rip. Actually pretty lonely but too shy to approach people lmao. I love memes, animals (cats!!), reading, cute things & dark/weird jokes + puns. :^) Good luck with your account btw~
Thanks! This one took me a lot of thought, hope you enjoy it! I put most of the information about how you two got to know each other, rather than your actual relationship. I hope you like it nonetheless~
Your matchup isā¦
*drumroll*
Subaru Akehoshi!
Nobody really knows what drew Subaru to you. On your first day at the new academy, you were a nervous wreck. What if people didnāt like you? What if you were a terrible producer? Are the classes going to be hard? What if you donāt make any friends? You were walking with your head down through the halls of the school, thinking of everything that could go wrong. Thatās when Subaru spotted you. He walked right up to you, tapping your shoulder. You turned around to find a boy with messy orange hair and a grin, yet he looked worried at the same time. āHey, arenāt you the transfer student? Iām Subaru Akehoshi!ā You shyly replied with your own name, then stating that you needed to go. He stood there as you turned and left him there. It was then that he made it his goal to figure you out and befriend you.
For another month or so, Subaru continued to randomly find you across campus and attempting to make small talk. You wanted to think of him as annoying and nosy, but you couldnāt get yourself to hate the smiley boy. But you still turned him down, constanly asking for him to stop bothering you. But it seemed that the more you told him off, the more he wanted to know about you. He introduced you to his unit, Trickstar, though you said you didnāt want to. The people were pretty nice, but they didnāt see you like Subaru did. After you left, they asked Subaru what made you so special to him. āI dunno. Maybe itās because I donāt know anything about her? Something about her makes me want to know everything about her. Donāt you wonder what sheās thinking when she says things like, āleave me alone!ā Does she really mean it?ā Hokke chided him, telling him that you probably actually meant that you wanted to be alone. Still, Subaru wouldnāt give up. But he then understood that he should try a slower approach, and gain your trust over time.
The next time he saw you, you were quietly filling out paperwork in an empty classroom. After searching the entire campus, he was ecstatic to finally find you. However, he kept it quiet. He slipped into a chair beside you, making sure to give you personal space. He just sat there beside you, watching you fill out the paper. You felt awkward under his gaze, raising the question of why he was just sitting there. He responded to not mind him, and then offered to help. You refused, stating you were almost done. After you finished, you got up and looked at him. He stared at you with wide eyes. He wanted so badly to be able to read your mind; what were you thinking? Without realizing, words slipped from his mouth. He asked why you always avoid him, and if you really did hate him. You stared at him, not knowing what to say. He quickly got up, apologizing. He didnāt mean to say that. Before you could say anything, he left the classroom, shutting the door behind him. He sighed heavily. That may have just ruined any chance he had to get you to open up.
After that incident, Subaru stayed as far away from you as possible. You were a bit surprised at first, having grown accustomed to his constant company. Then you were relieved that you would no longer have to deal with his questions, and his general presence. But you came to realize that you miss his optimistic, cheerful self. Seeing his smile always made you smile, though he didnāt know it. Itās almost like his happiness is a disease that you catch whenever youāre around him. But how would you say that to him?
The truth is, Subaru missed you as much as you missed him. Even if he barely got in an actual conversation with you, he couldnāt stand not being able to see you. So he finally approached you, apologizing for his slip last time. He explained that he didnāt mean to say it out loud, and it was obvious how bad he felt about it. You forgave him, brushing it off. He was overjoyed, giving you a huge hug. He thanked you multiple times over. When he finally let go, he was even more excited to see a small smile on your face. He exclaimed about how cute it was, adding that he wanted to see you smile more. Not only that, but he wanted to get to know you, and be able to understand you. You were a bit flustered; he was so straightforward and open.
The two of you continued to grow closer over time. Subaru would test his boundaries, often ending up going a bit too far and getting scolded. He would ask random questions that popped in his head, and would remember your exact answer. He slowly gained more and more knowledge of you, and took a liking to anything you talked about. Read a new book recently? He loved to hear you talk about it! Even more, he laughs at any and all memes that you like, and shows you plenty that he finds online. He enjoys your strange sense of humor. You considered him your closest friend at the school, and didnāt want to admit that you may be crushing on him. Just a bit.
He was the same way. He didnāt understand what all the things he felt around you meant. Seeing you always made him happy. When you hands would brush while you take his phone to look at something heās showing you, he gets that butterfly feeling in his stomach. He constantly talked about you to his classmates, unit members, club members, anyone that would listen. He even told Daikichi about you, and all the things heās learned about you. Hokuto finally told him to shut up about you and just confess; which he was confused about. Confess what? Hokuto sighed at his obviousness. He explained that it was obvious that he liked you, and he should just tell you. At first, he didnāt understand. Hokuto had to spell it out for him: āYou love her.ā He gasped in realization, darting home.
The next day, Subaru caught you after school. He asked if you wanted to come walk his dog to the park, which you accepted. You had nothing else today, so why not? Plus, you loved Daichiki. And he loved you right back. He would jump on you and lick you as soon as you walked in the door whenever you came over. Subaru put the leash on him and grabbed a toy, and you made your way to the park. The two of you chatted about anything that came to mind until you finally reached the park. He sat down on the grass, prompting you to sit beside him. You began to play fetch with Daikichi, pampering him with pets and kisses every time he came back with the toy. Subaru watched with a pout. He complained that he wanted attention, too, whining like a dog. You giggled and pat his head. It was then that he blurt out that he loved you, causing you to freeze in surprise. He quickly apologized, stating that he would go home and stop bothering you. But you stopped him, replying softly that you liked him back. He dropped Daikichiās leash, pushing you to the ground in a hug as he grinned happily. He gave you a quick, messy kiss.
You two were officially a couple. Subaru is always there for you, making you smile even on bad days. He always says just the right thing to cheer you up when youāre down. Heās like the sun, providing you with warmth and happiness. Leave it to him to drag you into whatever crazy ideas he comes up with. Youāre the perfect partner in crime with him. He likes to say you two are like the good cop, bad cop partners in movies. His optimism may annoy you from time to time, being a pessimist. But that cheerful counter is just what you need when times are worst. He knows that you have a habit of not telling him when you want things, and figured out how to know when you needed them. When you need attention, but donāt want to ask him for it, heāll give it to you anyway. He introduced you to everyone he knew, and they all knew about you already as āthe one that Akehoshi doesnāt shut up about.ā And itās true. When heās not with you, all he wants to talk about is you. When heās with you, he loves showing you off to others, but has a bad habit of keeping you to himself. He gets jealous really easily, and doesnāt bother hiding it. His unit hates how hyper he gets when youāre around; he can never focus! (They like you, they just hate Subaruās enthusiasm about you.)
With this boy, thereās never a dull moment. Heās always on the go, dragging you along with him. Thereās always something going on with him. He has endless energy, sometimes you wonder where he gets it from. Somehow, he comes up with dozens of pet names for you. He usually sticks with a single nickname for you, but tends to rotate through many others that randomly pop into his head. He has absolutely no idea what amount of PDA is acceptable, and just does as he pleases. If you didnāt like him doing something, though, he would stop as soon as you ask. He learned how to read you really well, and can usually tell if he upset you. As for dates, Subaru isnāt much for the traditional fancy dinners and such. He prefers playing with you, and sometimes bringing Daikichi along. He loves to just cuddle on the couch, or running around pretending to be a knight in a fantasy he made up. Subaru always needs something happening, or he gets bored. If you canāt keep up with his boundless energy, he will always slow down a bit for you to catch your breath. He would do anything for you! You two would balance each other perfectly!
Other matches: Kaoru, Hinata

Lmao answer them all and good luck ;)
Iām reblogging this, sans readmore, as it was brought to my attention that for at least one person, everything under that just didnāt show up. I humbly beg forgiveness for putting such a huge chunk of text on everyones dash.Spacey, you cheeky sod. I swear this is like the second time youāve done this. (I both love and hate you for it)Ā Here we fucking go:Ā THIS TOOK AN HOUR AND A HALF TO DOĀ

Who are you looking forward to seeing?@gpumidnazoraā, some day.4. Are you easy to get along with?I guess so? Not very argumentative, very quiet, tell bad jokes.5. If you were drunk would the person you like take care of you?Iād like to think so.6. What kind of people are you attracted to?All of them. More feminine aligned folks usually but super masc folks and androgynous peeps have totally taken my breath away too. Less general note, nerdy folk who I can obsess over something with.Ā 7. Do you think youāll be in a relationship two months from now?I mean, Iām in one now and while it does have a massive issue because of distance, Iād like to think we can tough it out.8. Who from the opposite gender is on your mind?My girlfriend.9. Does talking about sex make you uncomfortable?A little, I get flustered easily if im not super close with folks.10. Who was the last person you had a deep conversation with?Fuck, uh, myself? I often have super deep conversations that I should probably talk to a therapist or someone about just aloud to myself. But if that isnt an acceptable answer, @gpumidnazoraā takes the cake.11.

Do you like it when people play with your hair?Yes. Please do. Iām a big sucker for this. Or any physical affection really.Ā 14. Do you believe in luck and miracles?Miracles not so much but its real hard to not think of things as lucky or unlucky for me15. What good thing happened this summer?I got plenty of hours at work!Ā 16. Would you kiss the last person you kissed again?Nope. No. Nuh. Thereās two girls it might be and neither of those would be a good choice.17. Do you think there is life on other planets?I mean, itās literally either that or we are completely alone in the entire universe. Which seems far more terrifying to me. So yeah. But Iām always thinking like microbial or basic life, rather than you know, aliens replete with UFOs and such.18. Do you still talk to your first crush?Nah, havent talked to her in years.19. Do you like bubble baths?I almost always shower, too big for the bath really.20. Do you like your neighbors?Fuck dude I dont even know my neighbours21. What are you bad habits?God, what isnt?

Anywhere with snow23. Do you have trust issues?Yes? Iām not all that open. Until I am and itās like BAM HEREāS MY ENTIRE LIFE STORY which is too much typically.24. Favorite part of your daily routine?Jerkinā it just soooo right. Kidding. Mostly. Anytime cuddling my cat while catching up on Youtube videos is great.25.

Do you wish your skin was lighter or darker?Darker. But Iām such a shut in so that aint happening. Least it looks alright next to my paper white sister28. Who are you most comfortable around?Myself.

Do you ever want to get married?Not really? I mean, tax benefits are nice but I donāt care for it much.31. Is your hair long enough for a pony tail?Nah, or at least itās the shittiest ponytail ever, though my hair is the longest itās probably ever been.32. Which celebrities would you have a threesome with?Iād take a spin with pretty much anyone because dang most of them are hella good looking plus all that money you could earn through scandalous details afterwards.Ā 33. Spell your name with your chin.zxzbnldyu. Perfect, nailed it. Funnily enough itās pronouncedĀ āAshleyā34. Do you play sports? What sports?I played, emphasis on theĀ āedā, soccer (football) and tennis and fencing!35. Would you rather live without TV or music?TV, easy. I listen to music way more than I watch TV.36.

Everyone just looks so dang good and cute.37. What do you say during awkward silences?Iām more of a creator of awkward silences than an ender. Yay for being bad at simple conversation.38. Describe your dream girl/guy?Aw jeez. I mean Iām tempted to earn brownie points by just describing my lovely girlfriend.

What do you want to do after high school?Fuck man I went through high school not knowing and I still have no idea41. Do you believe everyone deserves a second chance?I give so many second chances. Multiple. Ā But it does depend on the action. If you hurt me, no matter how much or how often, Iāll let it slide (possibly because I have 0 self respect) but if you fuck with my mates or are just a despicable person in general I will only give you a couple chances.42. If your being extremely quiet what does it mean?Iām almost always pretty quiet. but if i go silent mid conversation it probably means Iām trying to turn something that just got said into a really lame dad joke.43. Do you smile at strangers?yes and no. If Iām interacting with them or like they pass by and its only the two of us Iāll happily put on a (hopefully not creepy) smile but I wonāt have a smile plastered on my face walking through a crowd.44.

Would you change your name?I wanted to change my name to Seth when I was younger after years ofĀ āashley is a girls nameāĀ 129. What your zodiac sign?L1BR4130. Do you like subway?Yeah. itās normally pretty tasty.131. Your bestfriend of the opposite sex likes you, what do you do?I mean, Iām currently dating and so is she so that would be a mess, but I doubt much would come of it.132. Whoās the last person you had a deep conversation with?Ok im 90000% sure this was already asked.133.
