Challengers Fic Recs!

I've completely fallen down the Challengers fic rabbit hole since I saw the movie a second time in June, and I'm surprised I haven't seen any Challengers rec lists floating around! I've read what feels like half the tag at this point, so I decided, hey, I guess that one's on me. I've been really impressed by the overall quality of what I've been reading, so these really feel like the creme de la creme and I hope even if you haven't read Challengers fic before, you give some of them a shot! (I will say, I'm not sure this is the best fandom to read without having seen the film, but the movie is SO good, just watch it and then come back) (Also, I don't read Reader inset fic which seems really popular in the fandom, so no shade to any of those authors, just not my bag!)

I wrote these little summaries cuz this post was so long! Without further ado, in order of length so I didn't have to obsess over that too:

let it once be me by wastelandbaby - 4444 words, M, Post-canon, Throuple, Getting together. Summary: An immediate post-match threesome can't fix what's wrong with them. Tashi and Patrick are texting and Art's crippling insecurity won't let him see what's directly in front of his face. Art POV. Rec: This fic is so short and un-sweet; I want to say it speedruns the beats that make so many throuple getting together fics work except it doesn't feel rushed in the slightest, and the ending is completely unique and honestly took my breath away.

open heart / open container by comosum - 5106 words, M, Post-Canon, Getting together Summary: The throuple is getting together, but Art and Patrick have to have a conversation first. Art POV. Rec: A large portion of this is one conversation and the dialogue fucking slaps. It does an unusually good job of having Art and Patrick directly/explicitly address each other's queerness before initiating sex, managing to thread the needle of "he would not fucking say that" and "it's actually not totally unrealisitic for these guys to be moderately self-aware at least of themselves."

give it a hand, offer it a soul by thcscus - 6493 words, T, Post-Canon, Established Throuple Patrick is playing his best for Art and Tashi. Patrick gets injured. Patrick doesn't know if it's the tennis that's over, or everything. Mixed POV. Rec: In the Exquisite Agony fandom, this is possibly the most Exquisitely Agonizing fic I've read. It's horrific. It's shocking how short it is compared to the rest of this list, but within the first 400 words my heart was in my fucking throat and it didn't come down for the remainder.

a romantic fool by spqr - 10300 words, E, Canon-compliant, Established Throuple. Lily is Patrick's. Art loves her for it. Art POV. Rec: Hands down, the fic that inspired this list and one of my gateway drugs into Challengers fic. I want everyone to read it.

this monstrous fire by kithmet - 10672 words, E, Post-Canon Throuple Getting together. An immediate post-match threesome can fix what's wrong with them. Along with some eavesdropping. Art POV. Bonus: kithmet made an incredible Challengers playlist not specifically for this fic, open relationship Rec: This is the closest thing to a fix-it on this list (it's very far from a fix-it), and I think convincing me these three could possibly figure their shit out in the short timeline of this fic is incredibly impressive character work.

neverland by ameliepoulain - 14079 words, E, Post-Canon, Art/Patrick, Getting together. Patrick quits tennis and moves on. Art quits tennis and does not. Patrick POV. (The second part of the series, second star to the right, is Art POV, pre-throuple, and essential.)(Bonus! Comes with playlist!*) Rec: Of all the fic on this list, I think this one takes the biggest swing on its set-up and for me that completely pays off. The two parts of the series also do an incredible job of demonstrating how opaque these people are to each other and do SUCH a good job of differentiating voices/experiences).

wishbone by a__peach__tree - 18375 words, E, Post-Canon, Throuple, Getting together. An immediate post-match threesome can't fix what's wrong with them. Patrick buys a ticket to the US Open, and waits, and tries to get his life together. Patrick POV. Comes with playlist*! Rec: This author does the most convincing Patrick-trying-his-hardest I've read; the action becomes so interior over the course of the fic and the tension ramps up so high I caught myself talking to the characters out loud, literally begging them to do the right thing.

american doubles by sticky valentine - 19166 words, E, Post-Canon, Throuple, Getting Together. An immediate post-match threesome won't fix what's wrong with them. Art invites Patrick to follow them to Cincinatti. Tashi thinks she knows what's going on. Tashi POV. Rec: I'm SO glad I found this fic before sending this post to press because we need Tashi POV and I think this does a great job of drawing back the curtain on her machinations and leaning into how human, fallible, and confused she is.

make it all look painless by sundaymournin - 20277 words, M, During-canon slight AU Or, this author outright rejects that these three had the self-control to actually stay away from one another. Art POV. Rec: Another true Exquisite Agony fic; it interlaces with canon beautifully and addresses Art's obvious anxiety more directly than anything else on this list, along with his self-loathing. This is the fic that takes the "none of them can stop hurting each other or themselves" to it's logical extreme without like, actual extreme behavior that would break character or make canon events impossible.

Bonus AU: it's getting better by spqr - 9025 words, T, No injury AU Let Art and Patrick be shlubs! Reckon with painful truth of a life in service to a single, unloving dream! Let Tashi find her way back to them anyway! Tashi POV. Rec: For me, the appeal of Challengers is how well crafted the movie is, so I've shied away from the handful of AUs. But a) ALL of spqr's Challengers fics are shockingly good, and b) out of all the fic on this list, this is the one I can most easily hear the dialogue in the actual voices of these characters & their actors, which is a high compliment from someone who does not have a very concrete imagination.

*I made these Spotify playlists based off text lists of songs in the author's notes of these fics.

The Princess and the Frog Thoughts 🐸🤍

Alright I'm done and here's a list of miscellaneous thoughts

Tiana is best girl, holy shit this is the type of person I should strive to be like

Her parents are just... so good? This is such a healthy family

Is the implication that her dad served and died in the war? :(

Lottie is best girl, seriously, I really hope she gets her own happily ever soon

I really appreciate the depiction of Lottie and her dad: yeah they're the rich white people, but they're not the white saviours, and they're generous and friendly, and also not racist. Like, take notes, fucking billionaires of the world.

Dr Facilier scares me, and then I think "This is the same voice of Husker from Hazbin Hotel, who I like" and then I feel better lol (when I was little I couldn't watch this or the Little Mermaid because the villains scared me too much)

Naveen is charming, but I like seeing him grow up and decide to get jobs for Tiana.

Okay so I guess my favourite trope is enemies-to-lovers, see Tiana x Naveen, Firstprince, Elizabeth x Darcy, and Beauty and the Beast

Is the central message love is more important than working hard for your dreams? Cause that... doesn't sit quite right?

Holy shit Evangeline is Neverland, the second star to the right

Their swamp wedding outfit, absolutely gorgeous

I miss this style of animation from Disney

The songs are great, but I also somehow get why for this one only "Almost there", "Friends on the Other Side" and "Dig a Little Deeper" are well-known

There is a lot of... butt humour

How does the ending work, Naveen is the eldest son of the King, therefore Naveen is the heir of Maldonia, Tiana you're gone be the queen, how is that gonna work lmfao

Kinda wish the moment Lottie's dog Stella recognized the frog as Tiana amounted to something since from their limited interactions it shows that they have a bond

I wanna try those Beignets

I don't recognise most of the food mentioned 😅 Culture gap really said fuck you in my face

Kinda wish there was more of Dr Facilier? Like, somehow as charismatic as he is, I feel like he's a less compelling villain than say Ursala or Scar. Maybe that's because the cruelest thing we see him do is turn Naveen into a frog and almost kill Lottie's Dad. We don't see him completing any evil deeds the way Scar kills his brother or the way Ursala turned Triton into the shrimp thing (that was what made me terrified of her as a kid)

Lottie why are you calling your father "*Big* Daddy" that sounds really... really... weird, why not just "daddy", is this a culture thing

I was watching while doing my freaking duolingo Spanish and I fucked up and shouted "bloody hell" in my best imitation of Tiana's accent because that kinda something I do, and then I just couldn't speak proper English for like a minute lmfao

Tiana's busy but she still has friends! Like, yeah she's working for tips and stuff but she knows a lot of her customers, and her friendship with Lottie lasted throughout their whole life!

When they made a mention of her being outbid and then the two guys saying "a woman of your background" I went "are we finally explicitly acknowledging racism!?" but that was it lol

What language is Naveen speaking when he's not speaking English?

TZP, there are two Disney princes that suit you. Disney, I hate what you're doing with your live actions, but I will relent a little if you give him one of those two princes

Anyways, seriously, 9/10, I wish more people talked about Tiana because oh, my God, she is such a wonderful character

Everyone's Safe In The Treehouse...

(Warning: mention of drug use, suicide, and abuse.)

(I can't believe I'm almost 30 and just wrote Devin Oliver/I See Stars fanfiction but here we are.)

You've never been good at admitting you're wrong, but right now, as the sky is filled with lightening, the rain pouring down, the world was getting darker by the second just as your mind was. You've never been more wrong in your life and now it's killing you, wrapping around you so tightly until you can't breathe.

Almost missing the stop, the tires made an awful sound covered by the thunder as you stopped, pulling the car into the grass.

The yard was overgrown, the shingles on the roof loose, you looked through your tears at the place that once was your entrance to Neverland, a home that you always wished was yours but these days it sits abandoned.

"Please call me."

"Hey, what's going on?"

"You didn't go to work? I called..."

"I'm worried about you."

Wiping your eyes, you choked out a sob, taking a shaking hand to cover your mouth, the movement making you wince as you saw all of the texts and calls you've ignored, Devin's worried voice in your head.

"Fuck-", you muttered, throwing your phone into the passenger seat, gripping the steering of the still car, shaking yourself back and forth, screaming as the storm beat down on your car.

As your heart felt like it couldn't take it anymore you went still, staring out the windshield of the car, into the rain, into the storm, at the abandoned property.

This Nederland was your last hope.

Unbuckling, you grabbed your phone,

"You said we would always be safe."

and press send, finally answering, throwing your phone back into the seat because that was the first step into admitting that you were wrong, that your world was fucked up again.

You went deaf to everything as you stepped out, the rain pelting down and roaring in your ears, taking away everything and immediately soaking you, the fabric clinging to your skin while your legs moved through the tall grass, walking around to the back of the old house.

Despite the decay and overgrown grass you felt like things were as they had been over a decade ago, your mind leaving behind the storm, a calm numbness filling you as your hands wrapped around the wet decaying wood, looking up at the looming treehouse that still stood in the backyard.

"We're safe in the treehouse. Always.", Devin's voice sounded in your head and you almost started sobbing again but shook it away, climbing up the wooden ladder as you used to.

Trying to breathe as your eyes searched around, the musty smell of childhood and innocence that you never truly got to have assaulted your senses. But it calmed you, taking you back to the safety you craved...

You were a child again, running and playing in the backyard of your best friends house. Devin ran a circle around you, "Are you gonna be scared?"

You shook your head, poking out your tongue.

His eyes lit up, running another circle, "I won't be either. My Dad says we're safe in the treehouse! Everyone is!"

Devin was safety to you.

His house.

And now, this treehouse both of you were going to attempt to spend the night in now that his dad newly built it.

Home wasn't safe for you, living down the street at the end of the neighborhood in a run down home with parents lost to drugs. Even as a child you knew something wasn't normal about the way you lived, uncomfortable, ignored, everything felt dirty. It was as if no one in the world cared for you. That was until you met Devin, who at the time was a little boy riding his bike, squinting gray blue eyes at you as he asked if you wanted to play, the sun shining down on that odd patch of freckle stretched across the bridge of his nose.

After that day you were both inseparable.

The storm outside was raging on but you were tranquil, lost in memories as you shivered from the wet, the treehouse almost feeling as if it was swaying in the wind. In your mind it was fall, the leaves starting to change and the air crisp, Devin hands you a jacket, "You forgot one?", he asks, at the time you were nine and he was eleven.

You shrugged, already feeling embarrassed. Things at home felt worse or maybe you were becoming more aware. The truth was you had outgrown your jacket and your parents didn't have money to get you another.

He nudges you, "Keep that one.", he says as you put it on, noting the fresh detergent smell that felt clean and calming.

Although he never said it much out loud, Devin knew how shitty your home life was so he tried to help in small ways, the ways kids can.

"Why can't I live like you?!", you were crying, pacing the treehouse, Devin right on your heels. It was your birthday, twelve years old, and not one thing from your parents except a dirty house and them passed out in the living room. Devin had tried to make it special, but seeing the effort your best friend put in reduced you to tears, every year you come to the realization that you're nothing, trash, trapped in a world beyond your control.

"We're here. We're in the treehouse. It's safe.", Devin always reminds you.

By the time you both grew into teenagers your relationship was still the same, always together, although now the treehouse was more of a sanctuary. Devin had grown to be handsome and even though so many girls had been pining to go to prom with him, he took you.

"The dress is really pretty.", he comments, his bowtie loose and his brown hair messy as you were both back home from prom and up in the treehouse for old memories sake.

"Thanks.", you sighed, resting your head against him. You had saved as much as you could for this dress, settling on a blue sequin dress that simmered in the light.

Sometimes with Devin it felt like your stomach was fluttering, a feeling that didn't happen when you were both kids, adulthood on the horizon for the both of you now and you couldn't wait, as soon as you were eighteen you were getting away from what was supposed to be your home but was the source of your depression.

Suddenly his shoulder vanishes from your head and you look up, "Let's dance again?"

Unable to resist, you stand, feeling your best friend pull you closer by your waist and there was that flutter again and you welcomed his warmth, hearing him hum as you both slow danced in the treehouse.

What the fuck happened?

Of course you never lost contact with Devin, your best friend, after all these years. But adult life takes over, work, relationships, being tired, it can change things.

You couldn't see any of it until it was too late.

Now you were thirty and crying in an abandoned treehouse.

Adulthood brought you freedom, getting away from your parents who never seemed to care you left in the first place, and working hard for the things and the life you wanted.

You and Devin met up at least once a week for lunches and always called or texted.

An old job brought you a relationship, meeting your boyfriend Xavier.

And now, three years into the relationship, your world has clouded with doom like the storm that's going on outside.

Xavier didn't like Devin hanging around and Devin thought him to be too controlling. You simply thought it was male ego going against male ego. But as time passed Xavier was taking more and more of you away without you even noticing.

In the last year you've felt out of place in your own home, the apartment you and your boyfriend lived in. Sometimes Xavier had outbursts, snapping or raising his voice at you over small mistakes you didn't understand his anger for.

Anytime you thought about talking to Devin about it you clam up, he's helped you too much in the past and you didn't want to burden him anymore.

But last week as you were cleaning you found the reason for Xavier's outbursts. Your boyfriend was on drugs, and not only that, he has extensive debts because he can't stop.

In that moment of discovery, the pill bottles slipping from your hands, your world crashed down on you and you were just a little girl again, trapped in an environment where someone would rather be lost in a fog than present with you. Your home felt tainted.

Today when you had finally worked up the courage this morning to confront him you didn't expect what happened. Xavier grabbing the pills from your hand, shoving you into the fridge before his hand connected with your face, slapping you as hard as he could, the taste of blood filling your mouth as you had bit your cheek.

The man you loved, who you've trusted and built a life with for years just made everything begin to crumble around you. The pain and shock of the violence wasn't nearly as bad as discovering the drugs, the things that sapped away everything from someone until they were empty, and in turn you would be empty too, shut down, because no one cared enough to try. It would be so easy for you to give in yourself, obviously the way you were raised made you prone to times of depression but you promised you'd never numb yourself to it, you had to stay present, you'd never waste away like your parents. Devin was always your light but after this you've tried to step away, embarrassed and not wanting him to know, afraid that somehow no matter what you were dirty and would taint him.

Again, you were trying to sink into the memories of this treehouse, the only safe space that felt like it could never be spoiled, closing your eyes and curling up on the damp wood. Maybe the storm would cause it to collapse, actually bringing it down onto you and then it would be all over, forever, no.more worry of never being good enough.

The thunder rumbled, lightning tried to flash across your eyelids as they were shut tight and you heard banging.

Was it happening?

The treehouse was coming down.

Mumbled words...

Were you talking?

You refuse to open your eyes right now.

"Brittney?!"

"Brittney?!"

Your body shook, finally you opened your eyes, the treehouse wasn't coming down, Devin was crouched over you, shaking you, screaming your name over the noise.

Afraid he'd see the scared little girl he used to comfort, you hid your face behind your hands, trying to close your eyes again, but he was your comfort and safety and you knew you needed him.

"What happened? Your face- He...", as Devin tried to press you further something shook from your pocket, pill bottles, and despite the rain you heard him gasp.

"Now I know these aren't yours...", his voice was quiet, coming closer to you, gentle hands tugging your wet body to him, pulling away from hiding your face.

Looking up at Devin, the water dripping from his messy blonde hair, he was as soaked as you but all of his concern was on you.

"I can't do it.", you tell him, lower lip quivering, because deep inside you, although the idea of any drug was something so tainted, you had stole them, thinking it would be a way out, "I'm a fucking cliché. I'm dirty. Xavier...I found them and he was so angry.", you explained, Devin putting things together and understanding.

You watched the concern and anger fill his features, reaching for the bottles and throwing them at the treehouse wall, scattering.

"We're in the treehouse. We're safe. Remember?", he asks, pulling you into a tight hug, feeling the warmth that always took over.

You were so confused and lost right now.

Devin never made you feel dirty.

Clutching him back just as hard, you realized he was your treehouse, it wasn't this place, it was him.

"I'm sorry!", you sobbed and you felt him shake.

"No, don't fucking say that.", he tells you, you didn't have to look at him to know he was crying too.

You would get through this, you would get away, get back to that clean world of love that Devin had always provided.

"You're enough. I love you, you know that? I love you. Always have.", and you believed him, and you knew that you loved him too, just as when you grew up and flutters went through your stomach it still happened.

"I love you too.", you whisper, "My treehouse..."

Everyone's safe in the treehouse.

Why does nobody talk about Return to Neverland, that movie is so good. I remember watching it when I was like 6 and it staying in my memory forever

It’s WAY less problematic than the first Peter Pan movie.

You see, it’s about Wendy’s daughter, Jane, a girl who is currently living through WWII. Because of everything that’s happening, Jane rejects childish things and refuses to believe Peter Pan is real and thinks she’s grown up. So the opposite of Wendy. Then she is kidnapped by Hook and begins her journey in Neverland. However, she wants to leave. But in order to leave, she needs to learn how to fly. And in order to do that, she needs to learn to loosen up

At first, Peter tries making her the mother of the Lost Boys, similar to Wendy, but she says No and plans on leaving. Then they teach her how to have fun which is a huge montage of all the fun things they do and her officially becoming the first Lost Girl. She is also the one who saves the day alongside Peter

Then the sad moment where she says goodbye to all the Lost Boys before going home and embracing her childhood. And then Peter actually talks to Wendy since he hasn’t seen her since she was a kid. I almost teared up at this scene 😭

And oh my god, the songs! Second Star to the Right. A lullaby song that plays at the start that makes me cry. And then “I’ll Try” which plays the first verse during Jane’s breakdown where she once again rejects the idea of Peter Pan existing. Then the second verse plays when she finally believes and heals Tinkerbell

Overall, I fucking love this mo

[tinkerbcll]

half of the words the stranger is saying doesn’t make sense to her, but from a few keywords she understands he’s similar to a researcher who is interested in her kind. which meant she and her fellow fairies could be in great danger if he's anything like the one researcher she ran into years ago on the mainland. the man had captured her in a glass jar and wanted to study her, dissect her, and most likely pin her to his wall that was full of other winged creatures. he had engulfed the inside of the jar with some kind of smoke that weakened her to the point where she couldn’t use her magic. luckily she ended up being rescued in time, but it was the only time she truly feared for her life. she reminds herself that in her current size she’s not small enough to be captured, and she has her magic as well as her dagger on her if the man gives her a reason to use either.

not wanting to take her eyes off of him for a second, the bone he hands her instantly gets pocketed. she’ll give it to peter later for him to make something out of it. “a door,” she repeats the words as if she didn’t believe him. “how the fuck is there a door here,” she mutters to herself. the only way in and out of neverland is the second star to the right, which is a portal itself. there’s also one she made a long time ago, from the kensington gardens to fairy haven, but that one is only fairy sized and this man certainly didn’t go through that one. just in case he tries something with her, she unsheaths her dagger.

this was already tiresome for her, she should have just killed the stranger right when she found him. but if there truly was another portal here that anyone could just walk through she needed to deal with it. she certainly wasn’t going to give him any pixie dust so she was forced to walk with him again. she nods her head in the direction they came from, “show me then. and if you try anything funny this dagger will be in your throat in a matter of seconds.”

@tinkerbcll continued from ✨

Bambleby doesn't exactly have qualms with being dragged by the wrist through an unknown forest. It's like a lovely stroll, but at a faster pace and led by a tour guide who would rather get the business done and over with. Even at her fast pace, he's enveloped in memorizing his surroundings, putting together his own map of the terrain in his head. In the very short amount of time he's been wandering, he's already gathered that it's an island. A very strange island, indeed.

He wonders if she'd expected him to be fearful. To fall on his knees and beg for his life in the face of certain death by hungry beastie. Wendell can tell she means what she says about the creatures. There are certain patterns human travelers may miss, such as broken branches or paths carved in the underbrush, that may very well spell certain doom.

But instead it's his turn to act impatient, though seemingly entertained by this entire situation. "You could have simply asked nicely and I would have told you, you know. There's no need for threats." He bends and picks up a small bone that had been partially hidden under a fern, which he unceremoniously hands to her. "I am a professor of dryadology at the University of Cambridge, meaning I very respectfully study the Fair Folk and write papers which I can only assume you'd consider entirely dull and uninteresting." He's already formulating a dozen or so questions for her in his mind. All in due time. "How does one get anywhere between realms? I found a door. I'd be more than happy to show it to you, if you'd like. It's not far from where you found me."

"Or you can leave me here all night. What type of hungry beasts will be after me? I hope you're not too fond of them..."

top 5 ouat moments? i've only seen a few eps but everything i've heard about the show is wild so i'm curious

jesus christ let's go

first and foremost I would be absolutely refuckingmiss if I didn't talk about Emma and stupid fucking eyeliner Captain Hook absolutely sucking face in the goddamn cursed jungles of Neverland while an absolutely demonic Peter Pan was skittering around abducting children. absolutely insane payoff to that sexual tension. this woman's annoying 12 (???) year old has been abducted by his own shit-eating immortal great-grandfather and she has this absolute mess of a wet one-handed man dragging himself after her in 700 pounds of leather rambling about how he's in love with her because they have the same abandonment issues... and he was right. she truly said fuck it I will climb this particular leather-bound tree don't mind if I do. this might as well happen. most desperate make out ever aired on a network that doesn't allow kissing with tongue. goth kings do not despair there is a jock gf out there for you and if you go on enough stupid little adventures together she WILL want to peg you.

do you guys remember when Belle went off on an adventure by herself for a episode and she had the absolute KICKIEST little leather booty shorts outfit you ever did see? god. a fashion icon. and then she met this flamboyant CGI Lumiere which absolutely no goddamn sense because he wasn't even, like, IN the Beast's castle because the Beast was just Rumplestiltskin and he had a completely different deal but OUAT was only kept alive through the goodwill of terminally unhinged Disney adults so they had to pepper in little movie references no matter how misplaced and inexplicable they were? okay good now that we've layed the groundwork for that one let's talk about this:

when Elsa and the cast of Frozen showed up as major supporting characters for an entire arc in goddamn live action LESS THAN A YEAR after the movie came out. hello??? HELLO??? unhinged. also very funny how the show played exactly as fast and loose with Frozen as they did with all the older Disney fare up to and including introducing Elsa's Evil Ice Aunt Who No One Ever Mentioned Even Though She Has The Same Goddamn Powers Don't Worry About It.

okay sorry I've sat on this long enough but we simply MUST discuss that a not insignificant chunk of Rumpelstiltskin's backstory is that his wife left him for Captain Hook. and then however many decades later (like every fairy tale character in this show was 500 years old because of *magic* and no one talked about it) Captain Hook came back and. god you guys are not going to believe this. he came back, still the exact same age, and he cucked Rumplestiltskin's son (WHOMST HE ALSO MET AS A CHILD) with tremendous success. please see point #1 again. if you need a reminder. this is so funny and I will genuinely never get over it. this show is nothing but convoluted connections between public domain characters but that is by FAR the most insane. Henry better watch his fucking back when he grows up because this patrilineal is evidently cursed with Getting Cucked By Captain Hook Disease. "Makenzie that's crazy what are the odds it would happen a third time" WHAT ARE THE ODDS IT WOULD HAPPEN TWICE. of all the women you could have fallen gobsmackingly stupid in love with. it was your stepson's baby mama. idiot.

the final season finally coughing up some canon gay rep in its death throes but instead of getting a really popular existing ship like Mulan/Sleeping Beauty together or canonizing a beloved Disney character common headcanoned as queer like the aforementioned Elsa they decided to get Little Red Riding Hood together with never-before-seen Dorothy Wizardofoz in a 5 second scene that was disrespectful to Mulan, Aurora, the audience, and Dorothy's book gf Ozma.

and I'm like barely even scratching the surface here. OUAT is insane. a pre-MCU-fame Sebastian Stan is there for a few episodes. Star Wars is canon. there's an alternate universe based on classic horror instead of fairy tales and everything is black and white there. Christian Gray is a pretty significant character in season 1. Rapunzel showed up like three different times and was a a completely different character each time. Maleficent and Zorro had sex. Emma Stone wishes her Cruella had a SLIVER of what Victoria Smurfit was bringing to the role.

Winter 2021 Anime Worth Watching!

Since 2020 basically sacrificed itself to give us the most stacked anime season of all time, I’m currently buried under the weight of almost 20 shows airing per week. So for anyone who’s looking for some anime to watch this winter, here’s some first impressions! I’m speed running my list this time by only talking about the new shows...because otherwise this would be my great American novel. 

If anyone’s interested, I have master lists for both 2020 anime and 2019 anime, because there’s no shortage of fun things to find. 

New Shows!

And before anyone asks, So I’m A Spider, So What? isn’t on here, because CG spiders freak me out.

Cells At Work Code Black: This...less comedic spin off of Cells At Work (made by a different studio) takes the wholesome concept of Osmosis Jones meets cute anime girls and turns it on its head. In this much more depressing version, we follow a rookie red blood cell who works in the body of an overly stressed, alcoholic smoker who puts every strain on the body imaginable. I love Red Blood Cell AA2153 and his co-workers, but man am I glad we get the regular Cells At Work airing this season too, because I need something fun and uplifting after seeing my sweet son go through hell every episode. 

*Heaven’s Design Team: Have you ever wondered how God came up with some of the weird ass animals that live on this planet? Like, what’s the deal with giraffes? And why can’t we have dragons and flying horses? Well this is a comedy about the engineers and designers in heaven creating the new animals that are going to inhabit the Earth. That’s it, that’s the show. It’s kind of in the same vein as Cells At Work, having comedy blend with a surprising amount of educational information. If you want something light and funny, this is the show for you (though I don’t think it needs to have full length episodes). I’m just hoping there’s an episode about how the hell the platypus was created. Also it’s the only new one available on Crunchyroll.

Horimiya: A romantic comedy about a girl named Hori who fits the image of a perfect queen bee and a quiet bespectacled boy named Miyamura who never makes an impression at school. When the two meet by chance outside of the classroom, we see that Hori is practically raising a younger brother by herself, and Miyamura is actually a sweet guy who happens to be covered in tattoos and piercings. This show is an exercise in breaking down the images people have of others in their minds, and it’s a concept that really hits home in a fun and meaningful way. Honestly, this has become one of my immediate favorites. The characters have great chemistry, and I can’t wait to see more of them!

Monster Incidents (Kemono Jihen): When big shot Tokyo detective Inugami is called to a rural town to investigate a series of strange animal deaths, he finds a mysterious boy with the nickname Dorotabo who has been shunned by the other children in town. As the detective gets closer to Dorotabo, he discovers that there may be more...inhuman secrets to the boy than he realizes...and Dorotabo discovers that Inugami has some secrets of his own. This is a hard show to sell without spoiling the first episode, but it had twists and turns that kept me engaged from start to finish. I’m really interested to see where the plot goes, because I thought this was going to be something totally different just from the PV and series summary. If it plays its cards right, this could be a great paranormal detective show!

Wonder Egg Priority: A psychological drama about a girl named Ai who starts having dreams about a mysterious egg that promises to give her what she wants most in the world...a true friend. Before long, she begins to see how the dream world and reality are tied together, and trippy antics ensue. It’s hard to say more without spoiling anything, but I had to go back and add this one in because I made the mistake of thinking it was an OVA when it’s actually a full series. And what a series it’s starting out to be. This anime has all the psychological discomfort of a Satoshi Kon product with the beauty and style of something from Kyoani (even though it’s made by Clover Works). It’s really one of those anime you just have to see to understand.

Sk8-∞ (Skate the infinity): An original skateboarding anime from Bones, featuring a typical sports anime protagonist who takes a new transfer student who has never skateboarded in his life under his wing. Together they compete in dangerous races and take the skating community by storm. The character designs rival Appare Ranman’s in outlandish creativity, and I can smell the main characters’ ship dynamic a mile away (considering they’re exactly the same as the protagonists from Robihachi). If you’re looking for some wild and crazy fun with top notch skateboarding animation, don’t skip this!

2.43: Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu (Seiin High School Boys Volleyball Club): Yes, it’s another volleyball anime. And no, it’s not just a clone of Haikyu. This story follows Yuni Kuroba, a physically built but emotionally weak teenager who finds out his childhood friend Hajime is moving back to their hometown for high school. Yuni discovers Hajime has become an exceptional volleyball player and they join their school’s volleyball club hoping to turn the unknown team into a rising star. If anything, this anime is much more like Stars Align or Free, where the sport is a backdrop for letting the characters explore their personal problems. Or at least it seems that way after the first episode. I went into this show ready to throw it in the trash because how could anything compete against my beloved Haikyu, but I found myself really enjoying the dynamics of the main duo and I’m curious to see what the rest of the team is like.

And speaking of sports anime rip-offs…..I can’t believe I’m including this but…

Skate Leading Stars: The show where the animators clearly wanted to design another throw away idol anime but saw how popular Yuri On Ice was so they decided to make whatever the hell this show is instead. It revolves around a fictional team sport called skate leading, and we follow the world’s most insufferable main character, a former figure skater named Kensei who wants to return to the ice and join his school’s skate leading team after he finds out his childhood rival is going to compete in the sport. Look, this show is just trashy enough to get a certain type of audience hooked, and it mainly has to do with the best boy of the winter season, Hayato Sasugai, the aspiring team “coach” who pulled most of us into watching this show with his punk appearance, snide comments and smug personality. He’s basically the lovechild of Izaya Orihara and Shizuo Heiwajima in a high school sports anime setting. The show treats itself with the perfect amount of sincerity to get away with being absolutely ridiculous most of the time without making you feel like you’re watching it from a dumpster...like Try Knights. You will know after one episode whether this show is for you. All I can say is, Hayato is worth the watch, and I haven’t seen any 3D animation used for the skating scenes (yet) so that’s a win for me. 

Honorable mention:

Jobless Reincarnation ( Mushoku Tensei): Yet another isekai where the main character is hit by a car (big surprise) and gets reincarnated into a fantasy world...but he happens to remember his previous life and narrates himself growing up as a jaded adult. I’m only including this because it looked amazing animation wise, and I love the opening where getting hit by a car and dying is actually traumatic. And I love the protagonist’s parents (who are retired adventurers who just want to bang all the time). But honestly...the main character is the fucking worst, and I don’t know if I want to keep watching it because of how creepy and weird he is. Like...he’s the hit on your fantasy mom as a baby kind of creepy and weird. But for anyone who wants a cool looking isekai that had an amazing PV, it’s worth checking out. 

Continuing Series!

Because the real gold of the season is in all the established anime getting their next seasons, I’m just going to list some of the things that are also amazing and definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already (because I’ve already talked about most of them at some point and don’t know what else to say).

Attack On Titan season 4

The Promised Neverland season 2

Beastars season 2

Log Horizon season 3

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 2

Re: Zero season 2 (second cour)

Dr. Stone season 2

Cells at Work season 2

Osomatsu-san season 3 (second cour)

Higurashi New (second cour)

Jujutsu Kaisen (second cour) 

Not to mention all the shows I don’t watch that everyone else loves...like World Trigger (which I have seen quite a bit of, but long shounen shows are too much for me now) Quintessential Quintuplets, and Non Non Biyori. 

So there’s just some of all the anime airing this season. Hopefully, someone can find something they like. Here’s to a great year...well, of anime at least...

FuckIt Tuesday Sneak Peek - Not Broken at All

I don’t have the patience to wait a day until WIP Wednesday so here’s a little bit of Chapter 7 of Not Broken at All

Thanks @the-darkdragonfly for looking this chapter over <3

***

“Not long now,” he murmurs under his breath, gaze fixed on their path. 

She does the same, those two stars still shining brighter than the others, though now they’re no longer up in the sky but dead ahead. What was it he’d said before the ship took to the air? Second star to the right and straight on till morning. She’s heard that before, ages ago when she was little and watching movies in a foster family’s living room - a phrase tucked away in childhood and forgotten until now. 

She turns back to Killian, attention settling on the hook looped around one of the spokes at the helm, and swallows. “And then… we’ll be in Neverland?” 

“Aye.” 

She nods, the confirmation not making it feel any less crazy, any less unreal. “So then you’re…” she can barely get the rest of the sentence out. “Captain Hook.” He nods and while it shouldn’t be a shock at this point it somehow still is. “And that fairy was who? Tinkerbelle?” 

Killian blinks at her in surprise, his stern focus breaking for the first time. “You know Tinkerbelle?” 

“No.” Of course not. Emma comes from the world that makes sense, where stories are stories and - she frowns up at him. “Wait, do you know Tinkerbelle?” 

A ghost of a smirk pulls at his mouth before he nods again. “Aye.” It takes her a second to read that expression, the hidden meaning in that one word before it hits her. Oh my god, she thinks. He’s fucked Tinkerbelle. Emma files that away in the list of things she never needed or wanted to know along with ruined childhood memories.

Chapter 7 coming soon!!

Let me know if you’d like to be added to/removed from my tag list!

Okay so I was looking at the Auradon Map right, raging over its nonsensical-ness for the umpteenth time when I took a look at this one area that just- got named and its never speculated what's their and it piqued my interest just because I recognise somewhat.

It's this area called Schwartzvald.

Now I have no clue what area from the movies is Schwartzvald so I'm unclear what it's actually referencing BUT I do have a theory as to what it might be referencing.

So Schwartzvald, it's spelling is quite similar and I dare say maybe quite close to the name Schwarzwald, which means Black Forest in German.

Now this drives me wild because there does happen to be a place in a Disney media called the Black Forest and where its from is gonna either blow your mind or not.

Fucking Duckburg

As in Donald Duck's Duckburg.

Now before you call me crazy, hear me out. It DOES makes sense from the standpoint of Duckverse lore. Because this is the description of the Black Forest lore from the Scrooge McDuck wikia:

However, as one will soon find should one wander deep enough, the Forest is larger on the inside than the geography of Calisota could possibly allow. It is home to unusually intelligent non-anthropomorphic animals[3] as well as to unusually uncivilized anthropomorphic ones, who live in a sort of settlement. Many of those are known in the civilized world as fairy-tale characters, such as Brer Rabbit[4] and the Three Little Pigs.[5]

Deeper yet in the forest are hidden, temporally-displaced fairy-tale kingdoms. These include (by all accounts) the Kingdom of Snow White, with Snow White running away from the castle and into the Forest to find the Seven Dwarfs' Cottage, also possible to reach starting from the Duckburg end of the Black Forest.[6] The “Peaceful Valley” containing the Kingdom of Cinderella can also only be accessed from the American ends by passing through the heart of the Black Forest.[7]

So in case you didn't know, in Duckverse lore, humans are either extremely rare or nonexistent. Any human-resembling characters in the Duckverse are almost always dogs. But Snow and Cinderella are portrayed as actual humans as they are in Auradon.

So here's my theory.

Schwartzvald (or the Black Forest) is a sort of 'portal' or crossroad to enter Calisota (the land where Mickey Mouse and Ducktales basically takes place for those who didn't know) in a similar vain as to how the rabbit hole takes you to Wonderland or how the Second Star takes you to Neverland. Calisota is by no means apart of Auradon though- the two lands are just connected via this weird magical forest that can take you from one realm to another.

Kink Week Masterlist | Main Masterlist

A/N: Hi my loves!! Here is day three! Admittedly I did get a little bit carried away with this one, but it was so much fun to write, so I hope you enjoy! 💖

“Fu-ck.” Coco’s voice wobbled, disappointment in his voice as you withdrew, your eyes meeting his as he stared down at you with a look of desperation, watching as you teasingly licked your lips. It had all started when Coco teased you under the table in the clubhouse during his card game, but refused to allow you to chase your relief. So you did the same thing to him, worked him up at the desk in the scrapyard office until he was right on the edge before denying him his release just as he had done to you.

“Two can fuckin’ play this game, princesa.” Coco groaned, pulling you up to your feet so he could capture you in a kiss, gently tugging you onto his lap. “That’s it querida, get yourself off on my leg.” He whispered against your lips, his hands guiding you along his thigh, the rough creases and texture of his jeans felt amazing against your pussy and you grind yourself desperately against him in hopes of getting your orgasm this time.

“Look at me, querida.” Coco whispered, his free hand coming up to gently grip the sides of your neck, squeezing a little as your eyes met his. Coco swore he could cum just by watching you get your release, just by the way you looked at him like he had hung the moon and stars just for you.

But as your breathing quickened and you began to whine softly, quickening your movements, Coco pushed you off his lap and stood you up against the desk, your hands clinging to his shirt as you tried desperately to grind yourself against him while you both were standing.

“Look at’chu, don’t get bratty ‘cause I ain’t giving you that release.” He chuckled, amused by how needy you were getting and how much he loved that you thought you could get away with it by riling him up like he had done with you.

“Coco, please.” You whined softly, pouting at him as you trailed your touch over his jeans, your fingers tracing over the outline of his bulge. The Mayan eyed you, a mischievous smirk slowly forming on his lips as he allowed you to slide your fingers into his jeans.

He couldn’t resist you and he knew it, Coco was weak for you and you both knew he was putty in your hands as soon as you whined his name like that, as soon as you begged for him. The look in your eyes softened him and the way you spoke his name in that little begging tone drove him crazy. “Alright, corazon, okay, I got you.” He whispered, leaning in to kiss you as he pulled you into his embrace, carefully lifting you and walking you over to the nearby bathroom before helping you up onto the counter.

“How do you always make me give in?” He muttered, lifting your legs and sliding your underwear off before he pushed his jeans and boxers down. Of course, you both knew the answer to his question, Coco was wrapped around your finger and he knew it. Everyone did.

“Fuck, oh fuck, you’re tight, baby.” He groaned, your gasps filling the bathroom, though neither of you could have cared less if anyone could hear you as he slowly inched himself into you until he was fully seated.

“Please move, Coco.” You spoke in a breathy whisper, the Mayan immediately pulling out and thrusting heavily back into you, pulling a drawn out moan from you that echoed against the tile. “Fuck that’s good, so fucking good.” He muttered, throwing his head back as he thrust into you, your walls fluttering around him as you squeezed, Coco’s hands clinging to you as he fucked you closer to your orgasm, his fingers finding your throat and tightening as he helped you both climb closer to your release.

“Fuck, Coco I’m gonna cum, please let me.” You moaned, convinced for a moment that he might stop, that he might pull out and not let either of you finish, but Coco kept going, thrusting relentlessly into your core, his cock hitting the spot that made you roll your eyes back with pleasure and the sight only brought more encouragement to Coco.

“Cum for me, princesa.” He whispered, watching as you reached your peak and suddenly, your orgasm hit and you clenched him tightly as he thrust into you, Coco groaning loudly as he reached his own release as you pulsed around him. Coco slowed, allowing you both to ride out your highs, the biker leaning over you and capturing you in a passionate, loving kiss before he carefully pulled out.

“No cleanin’ up until we get home.” Coco smirked. “That’s your punishment.” He winked at you, not even giving you a second to react before he brought your panties back up your legs and slid them onto you. “That pretty pussy better still be full of my cum later so I can take my time cleanin’ you up later.” Coco smirked at you, pressing a kiss to your cheek before he turned away to pull his jeans up.

Marinette: Stone Cold

Ok so i love this prompt but it took forever to get to. And as soon as I did its like suddenly I was swamped with everything. So frustrating. But I finally finished it. And I love it. @vixen-uchiha​

              Marinette was six-years-old when her parents died in a car crash. She had been at school when the vice principle, Mrs. Valmontes, stopped by and pulled her out of class. The little black haired girl had known something was wrong instantly as Valmontes had smiled just a little hard at her and much more gently than what she was known for.

           Still, she had been really surprised to see Office Raincomprix, her classmate Sabrina’s dad, waiting for her in the principle. Marinette always thought he was really nice; always jolly and quick to lend a hand to the teacher at the end of the day if he got to class early to pick up Sabrina. However, he too, seemed rather despondent when Marinette entered the room. His partner, a rookie named Lorna, looked really sad too.

           They took her down to the station where she was led to one of the back offices. Sabrina’s dad waited with her there. And then woman name Susanna LeFlont, who Marinette would later learn was a grief counselor. Then they told her.

           Susanna held her as she cried and begged and called them liars, until she couldn’t cry anymore. And then they gave her a stuffed animal, and said they would try calling her relatives to pick her up.

           They came back an hour later, saying they got ahold of her parents’ emergency contact…

           Marinette’s Uncle Jareth Dupain.

           She had frowned when they said his name because to her he had never been Jareth Dupain. No, he was always her cool Uncle Jagged. So it took her a second to remember that his real name was Jareth Dupain-Stone, her father’s younger half-brother. Marinette even briefly remember her dad mentioning having to change their emergency contact after his mom, Gina, passed away a few ago.

           He was only 20 when Marinette born and he was always a budding Rockstar so he wasn’t around too much. And 6 years later he was the biggest rockstar in the world. Still, that didn’t stop him from rushing to the police station, Penny hot on his trail, and pulled his sweet niece into the biggest hug he could.

           Jagged took his niece to the hotel room to get her settled and had Penny go back to the bakery to get some of her things. He didn’t think it was a smart idea to take her there yet; not when the wounds were still so fresh.

           Still as the twenty-six year old Rockstar stared at the small form cuddled up to Fang, he realized for the first time that he was all Marinette had in the world; the only family she had left. The only family he had left.

           So he knew, despite the lawyers taking days to contact him regarding who Marinette’s guardian would be, that it was him. Jagged was the person Tom had entrusted to protect and watch the most precious thing he had the entire world; his daughter. And he wouldn’t let his brother down.

Tom had always been the best big brother anyone could have. And when Jagged’s own father, Tom’s Stepfather (as tom’s own father had suffered a heartache when Tom was a teen), had walked out, Tom had stepped up. He showed Jagged, who was still called Jareth at the time, how to be a man. He believed in Jagged’s rockstar dream when Jagged didn’t even believe in them himself.

Jagged would do right Tom, by Sabine; he would do what they would do if the situation was reversed and they were given Jagged’s kid to care for.

He would raise Marinette as he own. And though he knew would never come close to being the father that Tom Dupain had been…

Jagged would damn well try to be.

…

…

Jagged Stone, Shattered Roses, Nightmare’s Hail Mary, Unmasked Dragon, True Born Rejects, and Emancipated Mirrors were some of the biggest rock band in the world. Whenever, they went on tour together, they were the epitome of what people thought Rock Stars were. They were loud. They partied all night. Groupies hung around everywhere. To them, it was paradise. When all the bands were invited to go on the Kings of Neverland tour, with Jagged Stone headlining, they expected very much the same as they were used to. Jagged always had the most Rockin tour bus. His parties were legendary. They came to expect it.

However, when Neon Savage (front man of the Shattered Roses), Austin Knight (Leader of Unmasked dragon and lead Guitarist), and Niklaus Bane (Lead vocalist of True Born Rejects) showed up with beers and all other sorts of alcohol the day before their opening concert for the tour, they came across something very unexpected.

Or rather someone.

A little Asian girl with pigtails in her Blue hair, a tiara on her head, in a rainbow tutu paired with a black too large Guns N Roses shirt, her hand on her hips, no shoes, and a rather large crocodile next to her.

“What’s with the ballerina?” Austin asked. He had dyed silver hair done in a stereotypical emo style, grey eyes, and too many piercings. He was slim and tall.

           Niklaus sighed in relief, “Oh good, you see her too!” He had curly blond hair, dark brown eyes, and wore mostly black. He had ripped jeans and a red tie. The tie was as red as the whites of his looked. “Why is your hair blue?”

“Because Uncle said I could,” She answered and pointed a figure at them, “You’re not supposed to be here.”

Savage scoffed, “You got that twisted, kid.” He was a bulk guy, with long dark hair, and a severe expression on his face. His arms were covered in tattoos. He played in a metal band, and it was obvious. “Where’s your mommy?”

“Dead,” The little girl said bluntly. “I live with my Uncle Jagged now. This his tour bus, and you’re not supposed to be here.” She glared at them. “Fang, Stranger Danger!”

           What happened next was a bit of a blur. One minute they were fine, the next they were being chased around Jagged’s tour bus by a rather vicious crocodile while pint-sized twerp laughed.

           Lucky for them, their yells for help were overheard by Penny and Jagged who had been working in back, “What’s going on?” Penny asked as she ran in.

“Mates, what the h. e. double hockey sticks is going on?” Jagged asked right on his assistant’s tail.

           Austin, who had jumped on top one of the shelves, gave Jagged a confused look, “Better question; what the hell did you just say?”

“Ooohhhh! There’s five bucks for the swear jar!” The little girl taunted.

           Jagged glared at rockstar, “Watch it! A Kid’s in the room!”

           Savage glared at his longtime friend, “Who the fuck do you think set Fang on us?!” He cast a dark look at the crocodile. “Stranger danger my ass! I’ve known you sent you hatched, you overgrown cheap pair of boots.”

“That’s ten buck for the swear jar!” The girl said.

“Ten bucks?” Austin frowned. “Kinda of steep for just two swear words.”

“I swear to God-” Savage growled but was cut off.

“Chill, mate,” Jagged said. “This is my niece Marinette.” He gave her a loving smile. She beamed up at him brightly. He had been taking care of her for a year now. “I told ya about her.”

“You didn’t say she was Satan!” Austin whined. Fang had bitten him, the slowest of the three, quite a lot, and he had a giant hole in his jacket.

“I’m not Satan,” Marinette huffed. “I’m a ballerina, princess, Rockstar on my way to a tea party with Duchess Rosy Sparkles, of the Unicorn Fairies. And guess what, you’re not invited!”

“Oh that’s just mean,” Niklaus complained.

“She sicked a mini dinosaur on us,” Savaged hissed.

“Yeah, well, now she hurt my feelings.”

           Jagged sighed. The guys were some of his closest friends, and by the look up the “entertainment” they brought, they were ready to raze it up like always. But things had changed. Jagged couldn’t be that guy anymore. “Marinette’s staying with me from now on,” He reminded them. “No parties on the tour. She has a bedtime. And doesn’t need to see “us” at our finest, no matter how Rockin we are.” Jagged shrugged. “Spread the world, my bus is off limits.”

The rock stars grumbled a bit but didn’t leave. They could hang with Jagged without presence of booze, weed, loud music, and groupies. It would be a little weird but they’d managed. Jagged was their friend; they’d known him before any of them became famous and stayed close well after. They hadn’t been there for him as much as they wanted to after Tom died; too many commitments, too many required appearances in different countries that had taken them away. But they were there now. And if being there for one of their best friends meant regularly chilling with a six-year-old, then they’d deal.

Savage grunted, “Austin, get rid of the booze.”

“By ‘get rid of’, I assume you meant put back in my tour bus,” The silver haired guitarist corrected.

           Niklaus raised his hand like he was a student in class, “I get the whole no alcohol thing; that stuff will kill ya. But what your feelings on pot?”

           Jagged just sighed. It was going to be a long summer.

           The three musician, and even the other Rockers on tour, slowly but surely got used to the seemingly near constant presence of a six-year-old around Jagged or running around backstage. And the swear jar was a serious thing. It didn’t count when they were singing on stage but off it and anywhere near Marinette and they found themselves forking over five dollars for ever swear word. It added up a lot. And quickly.

           Jagged’s tour bus, instead of being the Party palace it used to be, now was the chill zone. It was also the cleanest of all the tour buses. No empty beer bottles everywhere. No one random passed out anywhere. No having to watch out for throw up. No rabid fans, as Jagged had increased his security to Tony Stark worthy levels.

           All they had to do was mind their manners and remember that Marinette was very impressionable at her age.

“OH screw you!!!!!!” Savage roared as he jumped up and frantically mashed buttons on his controller. “I’m not losing!”

           They had been babysitting Marinette all day while Jagged did an interview Buzzfeed.

           Austin snickered, “Says you.” His character raced past Savage’s. Only for something to hit him and send poor little Yoshi spinning out of control. “Did you- did you just blue shell me, bitch?” He hissed at Niklaus.

“Nooo!” Niklaus said sarcastically. “Hey!!! Not nice, brat!” He told Marinette after a banana caused him to slip off the ice.

           Marinette smiled easily, but there was a determined look in her eyes. Her hair was jelled into a faux-hawk courtesy of Ashley Crimson, from lead singer for Emancipated Mirrors, an all-girl punk rock band.

“Die, scumbag!” Ashley roared as her racer zoomed by. She was a vivacious redhead. Her and her bandmates got used to being some of the only girls around that weren’t either working for one of the rock stars or were scantily clad fangirls who do “anything” to get backstage.

“You’re going down, twerp!” Savage told Marinette.

“Bite me!” She snapped back just as Jagged and Penny walked into the tour bus.

           Jagged crossed his arms, “What did you morons do to my sweet little niece?”

“Nothing!” Niklaus, Ashley, Savage, and Austin chimed together.

“Savage taught me to throw a punch, and or kill a man.” Marinette smiled happily. “I helped Austin set up a glitter bomb in Nightmare’s Hail Mary tour bus. Niklaus and I are banned from Chuckie Cheese. Ashley and I spray painted her ex boyfriend’s car. Cleo and I got arrested. We disturbed the peace!!” Cleo was a pink haired girl who played drummer from Nightmare’s Hail Mary. She had to rush off for her own interview. “Oh and we’ve only been Playing Mario kart for an hour but they each owe like a hundred bucks to the swear jar.”

           There was silence as the words were processed.

“And not one of us taught her how to keep a freaking secret?” Ashley face palmed.

           Jagged just sighed.

…

…

           For the next few years that was Marinette’s life. Austin, Niklaus, Savage and Ashley became pseudo Uncles and Aunt to Marinette.

She spent most of her childhood on tour with her Uncle; going from to place, concert after concert. Marinette was homeschooled and didn’t mind it. Jagged went on tour with a bunch of different people over the years and she got to meet all sorts musicians; Clara Nightingale, Ed Sheeran, Adam Levine, Brendon Urie from Panic! At the Disco, Taylor Swift. Her favorite were the award shows though. Through them, she got to meet all her favorite actors. And was inspired to start designing on her own clothes after seeing so many fabulous looks. She got to model and do some acting. In her free time, she ran a very popular fashion blog/youtube channel.

The press had always loved her. To them, she was Marinette Stone (Jagged didn’t want her real name released to the media). She was always on the best dressed list, frequently seen with various celebrities, and could be found on the cover of various magazine.

However, when Marinette was eleven, she begged her Uncle to let her go to school with other kids. She was getting older and she wanted to have some type of normal childhood. It took him a year to agree. Her uncle Jagged had become quite protective over the years.

So Marinette went back to Paris. She cut her hair, used her given name of Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Her Uncle bought a grand penthouse not too far away from her new school, and whenever he was gone her bodyguard, a sweet woman named Harlow who was former CIA, was in charge of her. She started at her new school with a smile on her face.

Not long after, she became the hero Ladybug.

Everything was great. She had friends, a normal social life, went to school with other kids her age. She wasn’t constantly being followed around by paparazzi. She still ran her fashion blog and had frequently updates. It was perfect.

It took two years for it to go bust.

The reason’s name was Lila Rossi.

And she was the biggest liar Marinette had ever met. And Marinette had grown up in the entertainment industry.

Lila made wild claims that the other kids just ate up. A simple google search could refute all of them. The ones Marinette could stand was always about Jagged. Like her Uncle, or an airline, would be reckless enough to let a kid race on to an airport to save a cat; not that Jagged had ever own one. Fang was territorial.

Lila made her out to be a bully, and slowly Marinette lost all her friends. Her only one left was Adrien, her partner Chat Noir. The blond and Marinette had modeled together a few times and he had recognized Marinette despite her new looked but he kept it a secret. Because of their history, Marinette developed a crush on the other and Adrien was quick to lose his crush on Ladybug once he found out it was his dear friend behind the mask.

When Marinette was exiled to the back, Adrien was quick to join her (much to Lila’s fury) and nothing could change his mind. Mostly because he was sick of Lila always touching him despite his vocal protests, and Bustier not doing anything about it.

Soon Marinette things started being messed up or destroyed; her homework, her sketchbooks and pencils, her jacket. She was tripped and called rude names. Her cellphone, (Well one of her phones. She had two; one she used as Marinette Stone. One for Marinette Dupain-Cheng; a number only her classmates had.) was filled with mean texts.

Bustier caved to demands and had her excluded from class trips and events due to being a negative influence; again Adrien decided not to go either, and Lila was Akumatized once he said this. Marinette hadn’t been surprised. Bustier always ignored the bullying and harassment clearly happening in front of her. Still, Marinette decided to start recording her classes a hidden camera on her desk, on the corner of the celling and even on top of the whiteboard behind Bustier. It was just in case anything took a serious turn.

Still losing all her friends because of a few promises and dreams of glitz and glamour had been a wakeup call. Her Uncle had warned her. Her Aunt Penny, who Jagged had married with Marinette was ten, had warned her. So did Savage, Ashley, Cleo, Austin, Clara, and Niklaus. They told Marinette to watch out for fake friends and gold diggers, coattail clingers and desperate wannabes; people who would sell out every secret she had to the paparazzi behind her back just for five minutes in the spot light. So called friends who would do anything to get ahead, to get famous.

And it was clear that’s who most of her ex-friends were. Even Lila learned the hard way. When she told Alya about her mom meeting with some important celebrity about their Go Green initiative, this wasn’t a lie as it would turn out. However, the glasses-wearing girl posted it online, despite Lila legitimately asking her to keep it a secret. Lila got in big trouble with her mom apparently.

The teacher, Bustier, was awful but she always had been. Marinette ignored it in the past because at least she had her friends. But if that witch told Marinette to be a better example one more time, it was over.

           Everything came to a head after Marinette got expelled, granted she was brought back after evidence that it was impossible for her to have cheated surfaced, and the bluenette decided enough was enough. She finally gave in and told her Uncle everything.

           Jagged was pissed. He cursed up a storm; enough to fill the swear jar ten times over and buy Marinette a car.

           It took a while to get him to calm down. And to convince him that Marinette could handle it. She had a plan.

           Still, she remembered that Uncle was a wild card.

           Friday, during lunch, Marinette was eating in the cafeteria, when suddenly the lunchroom doors burst open, “Marinette,” Jagged called as he entered, trailed by a happy Penny and bodyguards “Where’s my favorite little fashion designer?”

           Marinette just sighed.

Adrien smirked at her; looking way too amused. The jerk must’ve known. She had thought it was strange that he wanted to eat in the cafeteria. The two rarely ate on the school grounds, opting and preferring to go to local restaurants rather than deal with terrible food and pesky classmates. Still Marinette didn’t mind as long as they away from her classmates. And they did.

Kagami, Aurore, and Claude gave her perplexed looks.

           The students in the cafeteria went wild. Girls and guys screamed, and tried to get pictures. Jagged ignored them and went straight to Marinette’s table, walking passed where Bustier’s student at lunch. Alya shook Lila’s shoulder and pointed at Jagged, and loudly asked if Lila could get her an interview. Lila looked horrified.

Jagged beamed when he reached Marinette, “There you are, you’ve been ignoring my texts,” He accused. Which to be fair, Marinette had been. Her Uncle had been coming up with way too many revenge plots to be healthy. “I decided I need a new look for the VMAs; something rockin, something tasteful, something to show remind the world the amazingness that the Rock Gods have blessed them with.”

“I’m at school,” Marinette told him.

           He smirked, “Then Learn to answer a text,” The Rock star shrugged. “But fine; we can talk later. How about at my concert, yeah. You and your friends” he motioned to the kids at Marinette’s table, “Can have backstage passes. We’ll talk then. But I really want you to wow me. Maybe get a matching hat for Fang too.”

“Fang?” Adrien asked innocently. Still Marinette could practically hear see the script he was reading off of.  “Is that your cat?”

           Jagged gasped as if insulted, “Cat? Do you think I’d ever own anything as ordinary as a cat? Me? Jagged Stone?! I should be insulted, mate. I hate cats, always have. Never owned one, never will. Fang’s a crocodile. Marinette’s knows. Fang loves her.”

“That is strange,” Kagami shot Marinette a smirk which caused Marinette to nearly hiss at the betrayal. Kagami knew too?! “Lila said you did.”

“Lila?” Jagged asked. “Who’s Lila? I don’t know a Lila.”

“Lila Rossi?” Aurore offered. “The Ladyblog practically swears in an interview that Lila Rossi saved your cat from being hit by a plane or something.”

           Jagged scoffed, “What a loud of bull! Any journalist that believes that is not worth the pen they write with.” Gasps were heard. “But I heard that rumor. Didn’t know where it was from. Thanks for letting me know who I should sue. This Ladyblog and Lila Rossi will be hearing from my lawyers.”

           It was a photo finish as to who fainted first; Alya or Lila.

           Lila went home right after that. This caused the reactions of the class to be split. Half the class still defended Lila; refusing to believe their golden ticket was lying. The other half was ready to burn her at the stake; they had carried her books, done her homework, wrote her notes, nearly everything for her.

           Marinette just sat back and watched with amused eyes. If they thought this was bad, they hadn’t seen anything yet.

           That weekend Marinette Stone released a video on her blog about bullying. She had been mentioning her own trouble with bullying for months and people had asked her for more information.

           The title of the video was:

           Bullying Stone: The Expose

           In it Marinette revealed that at her school she went by Marinette Dupain-Cheng, her real name, and had a new look. She told about how much she liked school at first. And they what changed; that it all started when a new girl arrived and started telling lies about celebrities about Marinette. She told the story of how she was expelled; and just how many procedures were broken when it happened.

           Marinette used the recordings she had of class, and even showed up the horrible texts she got.

“As you can see the teacher does nothing,” Marinette frowned. “It’s all happening right in front of her and she does nothing. In the next video, you’ll see someone being sexually harassed, in front of the teacher and she doing nothing about it. And then what victim blaming looks like. Again, as a reminder, all these videos and pictures are unedited.” She had offered to blur Adrien’s face but he declined, and even appeared in the video too and talked about his own experience.

           At the end of the video, Marinette looked straight at the camera, “Anyone can be bullied; famous or otherwise. If you’re being bullied; speak up. Tell your parents, your Aunts, your Uncles, your siblings, your cousins, teachers who you know will actually do something about it. I waited too long to tell someone. I regret that. They thought what they were doing was hurting me.  They thought I’d be miserable without them. They thought I’d cry and break and come crawling back to them. They thought wrong. You can bully Stone but it takes a hell of a lot more than that to break it.”

           The video went viral in an hour. And people were angry. The people who knew Marinette and loved her were beyond furious. Jagged, even more so, as he hadn’t seen the videos before, read the texts.

           Marinette Stone’s phone blew up with texts and calls. She was tweeted and retweeted thousands of times. And she got far too many, ‘You want me to kick their asses for you. I can kick their asses for you,” texts. But she had known she’d get them.

           The Ladyblog was ripped for lies by celebrities who been lied about on site and fans.

           Gabriel Agreste, Adrien told her, was pissed about what had been happening to Adrien, in front of a teacher no less. Lila Rossi fired. And if Lila ever had dreams about working in the fashion industry, they were over.

           Savage, after berating her for not kicking Lila’s ass, told her he and the gang (Austin, Cleo, Ashley, and And Niklaus) was coming over for some Mario Kart and artery clogging fast food.

           When the call disconnect, Marinette got a text from him.

Why did you sic Fang on them?

And that’s a five for the swear jar!

           Marinette couldn’t stop laughing.
