lucky charm
content: fluff, so much fluff, just bokuaka, childhood friends
characters: Bokuto x Akaashi
date: 03/08/21
word count: 600+
notes: Bokuaka is my absolute favorite ship and when I came up with this prompt I had the idea for a childhood friends to lovers type thing so Bokuto and Akaashi didnât meet at a volleyball match but rather they grew up together. I hope you guys like it :)
His small hand clenched the fragile stems, tight enough so they couldnât slip through the cracks of his fingers yet still loose enough that they wouldnât snap.Â
Bokuto felt his cheeks flush and a childish grin tug at his lips.Â
He stood behind a tree, watching his childhood best friend, Akaashi, pick flowers and twist them to form a flower crown. He worked slowly and methodically so as to not break the stems of the flowers he tried so hard to find. Bokuto found the slight crease between his eyebrows as he focused adorable and he admired Akaashiâs hands as he worked. They were thin and slender, ones Bokuto wouldnât mind holding for the rest of forever.Â
But for now, his main concern were the five four leaf clovers he had been lucky enough to find. His hands were caked in dirt from his excitement to find more after he stumbled upon the first one and when the thought came to mind for him to give them to Akaashi, Bokutoâs excitement only increased.
Akaashi didnât seem to notice Bokutoâs intense search for four leaf clovers since all of his attention was focused on making the perfect flower crown, one he thought Bokuto would look beautiful wearing.
Bokuto stumbled out from behind the tree where he was watching Akaashi work. Hearing the rustling of the grass underneath his footsteps, Akaashiâs head snapped up, his gaze softening when he saw Bokuto shrouded in sunlight with his hands hidden behind his back.Â
âBokuto-san?â he inquired, pausing in his search for flowers.
âHi, Akaashi,â he smiled, stumbling over his pronunciation of the blue-eyed boyâs name once again. But Akaashi didnât mind, after all, it was Bokuto.
Akaashi dusted the dirt off of his knees to stand up and walk over to where Bokuto was nervously shuffling his feet, unintentionally kicking up the grass.Â
âWhatâs wrong?â he asked, when the golden-eyed boy refused to look at him, a bright red painting his cheeks.Â
Bokuto took his hands out from behind his back and shoved them in Akaashiâs direction, glancing at him momentarily to see his reaction. âThese are for you.â
He opened his palms to show five slightly crumpled four leaf clovers and his smile only widened when he saw the fondness grow in Akaashiâs gaze.Â
âThank you, Bokuto-san,â Akaashi said and Bokuto glowed at his words only for his smile to turn into a pout when he continued, âBut I canât take them.â
His outstretched hands dropped to his sides and he tightened his grip around them, hoping to get rid of the ache in his chest.
âBut why not?â he questioned, his volume increasing with his distress before he sadly whispered, âI got them for you.â
âDo you not like them?â he asked, his voice cracking.Â
Akaashi felt his heart clench and he rushed to comfort him. âThatâs not it, Bokuto-san. Theyâre lucky so you should keep them for yourself.â
He shook his head. âI already have a lucky charm. I got these for you so you could have one too.âÂ
Akaashi could feel himself growing warm and his chest tightened, making it hard for him to breathe.Â
âWhatâs your lucky charm?â Akaashi found himself asking. While he was ecstatic that Bokuto thought of him while looking for four leaf clovers, he couldnât hold back his curiosity about what Bokutoâs lucky charm was, seeing as he never mentioned having one until today.
Bokuto glanced away from him again, keeping his eyes on his feet.Â
âItâs you,â he replied, his voice uncharacteristically soft and his gaze still nervously locked on the ground.Â
Akaashiâs eyes widened and he grabbed onto Bokutoâs hands, gently prying them apart to reveal that all the four leaf clovers had fallen apart under Bokutoâs bruising grip.Â
Bokuto felt tears prickling at his eyes. All the hard work he put in to give Akaashi a gift went down the drain and it was all his fault. He opened his mouth to apologize but Akaashi brushed the clovers from his hand and intertwined their fingers instead, offering him a comforting smile.
âLooks like neither of us need these because youâre my lucky charm too.â

Day 1: Semblances
So I literally just finished this because Iâm an idiot, but anyway Winter is helping because Qrow and Clover are dumb, and this is a soulmate au.
I will now add a break because it might not be that long, but itâs long enough.
Clover stares at his wrist in anticipation, counting down the seconds in his mind. Itâs 8:15 right now, and at 8:17, heâll see the words appear. Just two more minutes, and he gets to know his soulmateâs Semblance.
âYou know, staring at your arm for that long isnât going to make his Semblance show up any faster,â Robyn drawls, flopping over the chair sheâs been lounging in. âSo you might as well have some cake.â
âFirst of all, I havenât been staring for that long. Second of all, cake? Where did you find cake?â
Harriet appears in the doorway, staggering as she tries to balance a cake stand on one arm. Cursing, Robyn rushes to go help her and barely catches the cake before it hits the ground.
Clover blinks. âLucky catch?â
âWeâll never know with you around, will we?â Ari sighs as she follows Harriet into the room, the tips of her braids covered in green globs of frosting and crumbs.
Raising an eyebrow, Clover asks, âI take it your baking skills arenât as good as you thought?â
Ari crosses her arms. âI could have done it if Harriet hadnât insisted on speed-decorating-â
âThereâs a minute until his soulmateâs Semblance shows up,â Harriet says, mimicking Ariâs pose as Robyn carefully sets the cake down on the table. âWe had to get it done fast, so I did.â
Clover takes the opportunity to look at his cake. Itâs clearly been haphazardly cut in the shape of what he thinks is supposed to look like a four-leaf clover, and the green frosting seems to be sliding off. On top of the mess is a message thatâs nearly impossible to read, but Cloverâs seen enough bad handwriting to decipher the words Happy 17th, Clover!
âHavenât you ever watched Cake Wars?â Ari demands. âYou have to wait for the cake to cool unless you want the frosting to look like that.â She points at the frosting, which is still sliding down to the base of the cake.
Harriet waves her away and checks her Scroll. âItâs fine. Clover, thirty seconds.â
Clover stiffens and turns back to his wrist. His teammates sit down in the chairs around him, their eyes on the cake. Ari pulls out one of her swords and carefully cuts a huge slice. She barely manages to balance it long enough to put it on a plate, but she doesnât hand him the cake. Not yet.
âTwenty-five,â Robyn says distractedly, her attention split between the cake, his wrist and her Scroll. She accepts the next piece of cake and starts eating while they wait for the seconds to tick by.
âTwenty,â Ari mutters through a mouthful of cake. She gags almost immediately. âHarriet, are you sure this recipe was a good one?â
âI got it off the description of a baking hacks video, donât ask me.â
âWhy would you trust a baking hacks video-â
Harriet swallows her bite of cake, clearly not finding a problem with its taste. She gestures with her plastic fork as she responds, âThey said seven quick and easy hacks for baking, so I figured it was a good idea. Besides, I knew you would mess something up.â
âThat frosting exploding was your fault, but whatever,â Ari replies, setting her plate down. She checks her watch. âTen seconds, Clover.â
âNine,â Harriet says, putting her cake to the side so she can perch on the armrest of Cloverâs chair.
Robyn, still with her cake in her hands, jumps over to the other armrest. She and Harriet lean close to his wrist and wait.
âWhat if itâs the other wrist?â Ari asks as she balances on the top of the chair like a gargoyle.
âIt wonât be,â Clover replies. The confidence he tries for doesnât quite make it into his tone. Heâs always felt like the words should be on his right wrist.
Ari pulls out her Scroll and positions the camera so she can take a picture of his wrist. âIâll send it to Elm and she can get it filed for you,â she says.
âThanks.â
âThree,â Harriet says, her voice almost a shout.
Robyn does shout. âTWO!â
âOne,â Ari screeches even louder than Robyn.
âZero,â Clover finishes as everyoneâs Scrolls hit 8:17:07. The members ofTeam CHRY lean as close as they can to his wrist and wait.
Red letters start to appear, one by one. MI
âMist,â Harriet suggests.
âMirror,â Robyn says.
âMirage,â Ari offers.
âMisfortune,â Clover says, getting weird looks from the others. Itâs an odd guess, but the letters forming do nothing to prove him wrong.
MIS
âDamn it,â Ari and Robyn say at once. Harriet waits with bated breath, but she canât even come close to matching Cloverâs level of excitement.
This is it. Sure, heâs not exactly meeting his soulmate yet, but at least heâll have a hint. For all he knows, heâs already met them and didnât notice.
MISF
Harriet sighs in disappointment, but Clover has a feeling heâs right that sticks with him as the next six letters appear. When he reads the full word, heâs not surprised.
MISFORTUNE
Robyn wheezes, drops her cake and falls off the armrest. Ari loses her balance and crashes to the ground, while Harriet has to put a hand on the back of the chair to steady herself.
âWell, thatâs ironic,â Ari says when she picks herself up.
âHow did you guess that?â Robyn groans from the floor.
Clover shrugs. âLucky guess?â
âOf course,â Harriet sighs. She stands up straighter. âDo you think heâs naturally unlucky, or does he just make everyone else unlucky?â
âI donât know and I donât care,â Robyn cackles. âMisfortune. Theyâre never going to be able to do epic Semblance combinations like that.â
âYeah, like Matter Absorption could ever work with your Semblance.â Ari reaches for her cake before she thinks better of it and stops. âWhat if heâs just not a Huntsman?â
âThen heâd get Words instead, genius,â Harriet says. She turns to Clover. âAre you going to see if anyone in the school has misfortune?â
âLater,â Clover responds, his mind elsewhere. The rest of his team might find it funny that their Semblances are opposite, but he canât help but think about Harrietâs question about the specifics of his soulmateâs Semblance. What if he affects the people around him? Heâs always been glad that heâs able to help change the outcome of things for the better, but what if itâs the opposite for his soulmate? Would he be forced to stay distant to keep the people he loves safe? Looking around at his team, Clover canât imagine the loneliness of staying away from everyone.
Gods, he hopes thatâs not how his soulmateâs Semblance works.
-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-
The announcer- a teacher from Shade, he thinks- leans into the microphone and says over the cheers of the crowd, âClover Ebi and Harriet Bree of Atlas versus Qrow and Raven Branwen of Beacon!â
Clover takes a second to thank the gods that his outfit doesnât have sleeves as the parts of the arena click into place. A glance behind him tells him that they have an area of fire Dust and an area that looks like it was cut straight out of the desert. Combined with the sunâs heat, he can bet that their half will be unbearable. Then again, sunburn might be worse.
Behind the two members of Beaconâs team STRQ, a pirate ship rises along with a biome made of ice that glistens in Vacuoâs heat. Clover and Harriet send each other meaningful looks- theyâre definitely going over to Qrow and Ravenâs side.
âThreeâŠâ
Kingfisher snaps out to its full form while Fast Knuckles extends around Harrietâs arms and hands. Across from them, Raven pulls out a long red blade, while Qrow puts a hand on the handle behind his back.
âTwoâŠâ
Clover slides one foot in front of the other and raises Kingfisher. Harriet curls her fingers into fists. Raven brandishes her sword, but Qrowâs only movement is a slight shift forward.
âOneâŠâ
Glancing at Harriet, Clover tries to indicate with his eyes that she should fight Qrow. She nods, smirking confidently, and turns back to their opponents.
âGo!â
Harriet takes off in a burst of speed and punches at Qrowâs face, and to her evident surprise, he ducks it with speed rivaling hers. Her second punch strikes metal as he yanks out a huge sword to block it.
Clover doesnât see any more of their fight as Raven shoots in front of him with her sword slashing down. He raises Kingfisher to block it, just barely catching the blade before it hits him. Clover tries to kick her, but she leaps away. He uses the opportunity to grapple over to the pirate ship, and she follows him.
Swinging around the ship, Cloverâs acutely aware of how quickly Raven follows him. He manages to turn at the last second to kick her away, but her sword is so long that when she jerks her arm, it still makes contact with Cloverâs hand. He loses his grip on Kingfisher and lands hard on the deck of the ship.
Raven moves the second she lands, returning to attack again while heâs disarmed. Hastily, Clover flicks his pin and amplifies his Semblance. He holds out a hand, and Kingfisher drops into it. He blocks her sword just in time.
Harrietâs shout of triumph reaches him when she finally lands a hit on Qrow and swings another punch at him. Raven spins and slashes her sword through thin air, opening up a red portal. Its twin appears under Qrow and drops him right next to Raven. With Harriet too far away to attack, they both focus on Clover.
Just my luck, Clover thinks. He doesnât have time to flick his pin again as both of them spin and bring their swords down on him with so much strength that he almost collapses from holding them both back.
Qrow frowns, and Cloverâs about to grin when his sword starts to change. Gears start to whir as Qrowâs massive sword curves, its handle extending. Clover doesnât have time to process until Qrow angles the scythe downward and shoots him in the stomach.
Flying backward, Clover sees Harriet leap over the edge of the pirate ship and hit Raven in the face so hard that the deck collapses under her. As Raven falls, Harriet catches Qrowâs scythe and tries to throw him in after her, but he dodges her attack.
Clover staggers to his feet and casts Kingfisher towards Qrowâs scythe. He tries to yank the weapon away, but Qrow only raises an eyebrow and jerks his scythe so that Clover gets dragged closer.
After that, itâs a mess. Qrow manages to dodge Harrietâs punches and kicks her right into the path of Ravenâs blade. Somehow, he and Qrow start fighting in the ice Dust area.
As Clover slides over the ice, it starts to crack. Panicked, he tries to use his Semblance before he realizes that heâs so low on Aura that itâll probably break before the ice does. At least Qrowâs at roughly the same level of Aura- if he can just get one more good hit in, he can finish him.
The ice starts to crack even more under Cloverâs feet, but he does his best to avoid it as Qrow closes in. The cracking follows him until Cloverâs sure that this has to do with Qrowâs Semblance.
On cue, the announcer says, âIt looks like Qrow Branwenâs using his Semblance- Misfortune!â
Clover hesitates with Kingfisher inches away from Qrow, but his opponent doesnât. Qrow spins his scythe so fast that it catches Clover and throws him against the ice so hard that the entire area rumbles.
The buzzer blares across the arena and Clover sighs, watching his Aura tick down to 0% on the screen. He remembers why he hesitated in the first place and looks up, trying to see if anything is written on Qrowâs wrist.
Clover notices two things at once- that Qrowâs wrist is covered by a black band, and that a large chunk of ice is separating to fall on him. He tries to get to his feet, but he can barely stand up on the slippery, cracked ice. âShit.â
Luckily, Qrow notices too. Eyes lighting with alarm, he doesnât even hesitate to leap for Clover, throwing his scythe aside. The chunk falls as Qrow tackles him, making them both slide across the ice.
The ice chunk explodes into smaller bits that fly everywhere. Qrow sees them and positions himself over Clover so none of them hit him. By the time the ice has settled, the buzzer sounds twice- once for Qrow, whose aura is at 19%, and once for Harriet, whoâs clearly been distracted enough for Raven to knock her off the ship.
Qrow sighs, his face so close to Cloverâs that he can feel his breath shift his hair. The red-eyed boy pushes himself up, slight disappointment in his expression as he helps Clover to stand. âSorry,â he rasps. âYou okay?â
Clover just stares at him. Now that he thinks about it, Qrowâs kind of hot, and his face was just so close to his, and heâs still holding his hand, and he might be his soulmate- Clover nods mutely, unable to form a single word.
Looking relieved, Qrow turns back to Raven, who uses another portal to come over and high-five him. Harriet zips to Clover and gives him an I-know-what-youâre-thinking look.
When they leave the arena, Robyn and Ari are already there, standing at the exit with identical shit-eating grins. Clover gives them one alarmed look before Harriet runs over to join them.
âSo,â Robyn begins.
âYou lost,â Ari continues.
âTo a guy whose Semblance is exactly whatâs written on your wrist,â Harriet finishes. She practically bounces as she asks, âAre you going to go talk to him?â
Clover hesitates. âI couldnât even talk to him the first time,â he finally says. âAnd I donât think he likes us that much. Not to mention if I ask about his soulmateâs Semblance⊠that kind of implies that I think itâs me, doesnât it?â
âYour choice,â Harriet shrugs. She turns to the exit. âLetâs go get ice cream and cry over our loss, okay?â
Ari shoots a glance up at the bright sun and back down at her long sleeves. âThat is something I can get behind,â she agrees, following Harriet.
Robyn starts walking after them, but she pauses when she sees Clover stay still. âAre you coming?â
âIn a sec. Iâll catch up,â he replies, and Robyn shrugs and walks away.
Clover turns around to where he can see Team STRQ celebrating. Qrow is talking to his teammate, who wears a long white cloak. Her back is to Clover, but Qrowâs isnât. Staring just a little too long, Clover knows heâs bright red when Qrow looks up, smirks and raises an eyebrow.
He turns and hurries in the other direction, his entire brain screaming at him. Clover doesnât know if Qrowâs still looking at him, but he doesnât want to find out.
As he leaves the arena, he runs into Harriet, who seems to have seen the entire thing. âAre you sure you donât want to talk to him?â
âIâm busy trying to banish that from my memory, thanks.â
â...Good luck with that.â
-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-
General Ironwood reads the report again. An unauthorized Manta has landed somewhere in Mantle, and now theyâve taken out their weapons. Great. At least there arenât too many. If he sends the Ace Ops and maybe Winter, they should be able to-
His Scroll beeps. Ironwood looks down and clicks on the picture from one of the drones. Itâs blurry, but he recognizes dark hair and a torn red cape. Qrow.
âSir?â Winter speaks up from across his desk, reminding him that sheâs there. âWhat do you want us to do?â
Something clicks in his brain, and Ironwood looks up as fast as he can. âDo you have Cloverâs file?â
Winter nods and extends her Scroll, where Cloverâs picture pops up on the screen. He scrolls down to the bottom part to a picture of Cloverâs wrist. And the word written on.
MISFORTUNE.
âOh, thisâll be hilarious,â Ironwood mutters. He looks up. âJust send the Ace Ops. Tell them to be stealthy.â
Winter follows his gaze to the picture of Cloverâs wrist. âOh.â
âHow long do you think itâll take for him to figure it out?â Ironwood smirks.
âKnowing both of them?â Winter shakes her head. âIâll have to drop hints every day.â
âSomething tells me that might not even do it,â Ironwood sighs.
Winter shrugs. âIâm doing it anyway.â She leaves the office.
-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-
Clover turns to Qrow. âThanks for the call-out. That could have been bad.â
The Huntsman sighs, frowning. âI wouldnât thank me,â he says, and Clover has the briefest flash of a fleeting memory, one about his Semblance. âMy Semblance brings misfortune. Sometimes I canât keep it under control.â
Thanking the gods that heâs learned to (somewhat) control his levels of gay panic, Clover says, âThat so? Well, hey. Donât beat yourself up about it.â He can tell that Qrow definitely has been beating himself up about it. So maybe his soulmateâs Semblance really does just affect others. Hardly daring to breathe, Clover manages to continue, âMy Semblance is good fortune. Lucky you, huh?â He even winks, although that might be overkill.
This is it. If Qrow has his Semblance written on his wrist, he should react, right?
Qrow looks shocked, and although Clover canât describe his next expression, itâs almost heartbreaking. The hope alone is enough to make him think that maybe, just maybe this is it.
He doesnât say anything else, and Clover turns away, disappointment pooling in him. Of course. He shouldnât have gotten his hopes up.
-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-
âYou know,â Clover says, causing Qrow to look up from his Scroll. âGeneral Ironwood admitted he sent the Ace Ops to arrest you all on purpose. Do you have any idea what thatâs supposed to mean?â
âMaybe itâs because he remembers when I kicked your ass in the Vytal Festival.â
Clover gapes at him. âFirst of all, why do you remember that? Second, I would have won, I just got⊠distracted.â
Qrow raises an eyebrow. âDistracted? By what?â
âAt this point, I donât even remember,â Clover admits. âI tried very, very hard to forget what happened, and I think it worked.â
From the hallway, Harriet screams, âYOU WERE LITERALLY ON TOP OF HIM, THATâS WHY.â
Both of them look up to see Harriet streak by the doorway, electricity crackling in her wake. Â In the blink of an eye, sheâs gone.
â...What?â Clover and Qrow ask at the same time. They both shrug and go back to their Scrolls.
After a few more minutes, Winter walks into the room. She pauses when she sees them together and starts backpedaling out. âIâll just⊠leave you two to it.â
Qrow gives her a suspicious glare. âWhat do you want, Winter?â
âOh, nothing,â Winter replies just a little too casually, but she returns to the room. Clover knows her well enough to know that sheâs definitely up to something and that her plan is working perfectly.
âDid you want to stay?â Clover asks, watching her badly hidden smirk grow wider.
âNot really,â Winter grumbles, glowering at Qrow. He returns the look. âJust out of sheer curiosity,â she begins, her words sounding forced, âHave you two ever thought about finding your soulmates?â
âObviously,â Clover says. âIâve only met one person with my soulmateâs Semblance, and they know mine, so it canât be them.â
âSame,â Qrow sighs. He holds his covered wrist out to Clover and pulls the band away. âYou wouldnât happen to know someone else with good fortune as their Semblance, would you?â
Clover blinks, staring down at the teal letters on his friendâs wrist. âYour soulmateâs Semblance is-â
Winter forcibly grabs his wrist and holds it out to Qrow, shifting her gloved hand so he can read the single word written on it. Qrowâs eyes widen.
Agonizingly slowly, Qrow looks up at him. âAnd your soulmateâs Semblance is-â
âYes, yes, youâre soulmates, everyone else knew, youâre idiots, and you can thank me later,â Winter huffs, releasing Cloverâs wrist and standing up again. She leaves without another word, the sound of her boots audible for a good minute as she walks away.
Clover looks back to Qrow. âUm. You wouldnât happen to be looking for a romantic soulmate, would you?â
âI..â Qrow trails off, but the way he stares at Clover answers the question for him. Clover suddenly realizes just how close Qrowâs managed to get.
Oh.
All Clover can think of in that moment is how badly he wants to kiss Qrow.
So he does.
-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-đ-
Clover dials General Ironwood with shaking fingers, looking between Qrow and Tyrian and Robyn. The general picks up after a few rings.
âWhat is it?â
âUh, sir?â Clover asks, taking a deep breath to calm himself. He feels a hand wrap around his and looks up to find Qrow holding his hand. Qrow gives him an encouraging nod, so Clover continues, âAre you sure that arresting them is a good idea? Especially-â
âIâm aware Qrow is your soulmate,â Ironwood interrupts. âBut I need you to arrest him and bring him back immediately. If he cooperates, no harm will come to him.â
Clover resists glaring at the Scroll. He turns and addresses everyone else in the airship. âRight, guys, letâs get Tyrian to prison and then weâll go down to Mantle.â
âWhat? Clover, I gave you an order.â Ironwood sighs louder than it should be possible to sigh. âClover, please. This is for the good of Atlas. Arrest Qrow.â
âFirst of all,â Clover replies, letting his contempt shine through, âThatâs bullshit.â
âClover-â
âSecond of all, no.â
âClover-â
He hangs up.

uh I hope you liked it? Itâs also on ao3 here?

Dreaming of You
Fandom: RWBY
Pairing: Qrow Branwen/Clover Ebi
Qrow never thought he would get a happy ending.
Maybe he was correct.
Word count: 1830
Read it on AO3
Qrow wakes up to the smell of pancakes drifting through his nostrils. Itâs not the worst thing he could wake up to, so he lets his mouth twist into a small smile and rolls over in the double bed, his arm flopping over the now vacant spot beside him.
âQrow?â a soft voice calls from the door, âbreakfast is nearly ready.â
âMm five more minutes, Cloves,â Qrow says, cracking open an eye only to be flooded with an intense burst of light. He immediately snaps it shut again and shoves his face into the pillow next to him. It still smells of his husband and he inhales the scent deeply, like a desperate man. Itâs kind of pathetic, he thinks, but he canât bring himself to care all too much.
âI donât think so, old bird, youâve got work today. Plus, I need you home early because team RWBY are coming for dinner and youâve left coffee mugs all over the lounge,â Clover complains.
Qrow rolls his eyes, which is quite a feat, considering theyâre still closed. Still, heâs pretty sure Clover gets the message because the next thing he knows, the bed dips down next to him and two large, familiar hands are massaging his back.
âCome on, you big grump. I even made you coffee,â Clover sighs. Qrow cracks his eye open again, this time greeted with a far more pleasant view than the too-bright morning sun. Clover is smiling down at him, his hair still messy and un-styled and an apron that reads âKiss the Cookâ tied around his waist.
âCoffee?â Qrow croaks. Clover smirks and nods which is what has Qrow finally releasing his early morning grudge. He rolls back onto his back and sits up, finally opening both eyes to fully observe his husband in all his crack-of-dawn cheerfulness. âOkay, Iâm up.â
âKnew that would get you,â Clover smirks, brushing his hand through the small hairs dangling in Qrowâs face.
âLucky guess,â the older huntsman disagrees, dragging a laugh out of the other. Cloverâs face settles into a soft smile as the two take a moment to gaze at each other. Qrow knows itâs ridiculously sappy, but Cloverâs always been a romantic, and whoâs Qrow to deny a man his desires, especially when heâs so nice to look at, anyway?
âWell, come on, then,â Qrow finally breaks the silence, âthereâs coffee waiting to be drank.â
Clover gets to his feet and offers a hand out a hand to Qrow. He accepts it and doesnât release it even once heâs on his feet. Heâll probably never express it out loud, but Cloverâs hands make him feel safe- like thereâs finally someone there to protect him after heâs spent his whole life trying to protect everyone else around him. Qrow would never let his hands go if the choice was his.
The two find their way to their small kitchen where Clover has laid out two plates of pancakes accompanied by a black coffee and an overly sugary caffeinated drink piled up with cream on top. Qrow grimaces at the two cups.
âHow you drink it like that is beyond me,â he complains. Clover shrugs and releases Qrowâs hand so he can take a seat. Qrow follows suit.
âIt gives me the caffeine I need for the day, what more do I need?â Clover queries.
âA good taste?â Qrow points out, picking up his own highly-sugared coffee and trying hard not to get the cream on his nose. From the snort his actions elicit from Clover, Qrow figures he wasnât too successful.
Qrow sends Clover a small glare before digging in to his pancakes. Clover tactfully avoids his gaze and continues sipping his vile black coffee. Looking at them, Qrow supposes anyone would believe he was the one who adored black coffee, especially considering his previous drinking habits, but the taste is far too bland. Sugared drinks give him both the caffeine he needs and the morning sweetness he possibly requires even more.
âSo, whatâs on your agenda today?â Clover asks.
âIâve been assigned to Winterâs teams keeping Grimm away from the construction site. As if I needed the Ice Queen bossing me around all day,â Qrow complains with a roll of his eyes. Clover huffs a laugh.
âWhen are you two ever going to let go of your preschool grudge?â he shakes his head. Qrow shrugs, taking another sip of sweet coffee.
âIf I have any say in it, never,â he admits, âhave they not got you on the construction today?â
Clover shakes his head, âIâm away from Beacon today- Iâm doing diplomatic trips to Atlas. We need more supplies from them. They still refuse to cooperate with the rebuilding of Beacon until we rebuild Atlas.â
âPeople are stupid,â Qrow decides. Clover shrugs his shoulders with a smile.
âNot all of them,â he says, âyour nieces are doing a pretty good job in the field.â
âI always knew they would,â Qrow smiles, âthose girls have taught me a lot.â
âHere, here. Sometimes adults forgot that valuable lessons can be learnt from the youth,â Clover agrees. Qrow smirks and stands up, collecting their empty plates and cups and taking them over to the sink.
âOccasionally, I even learn things from you,â he teases. Clover sidles up behind him and pouts.
âIâm not that much younger than you,â he complains, jabbing his fingers into Qrowâs sides and causing the older man to jump. Qrow turns around from the sink and raises a challenging eyebrow at his husband.
âBack in my day, I treated my elders with a bit more respect,â Qrow mocks. Cloverâs eyes flash darker and he smirks devilishly. Qrow feels his heart stutter in his chest and curses himself for being so easy.
âOh, shut up, you,â Clover growls. Qrow, for once, complies very easily as Clover attaches his lips to his, placing his hands firmly on the sink behind Qrowâs back so that he can push the shorter man against the basin.
A soft groan rises to the top of Qrowâs throat as Clover tugs gently at his lower lip, sliding one hand from the sink to the small of his back and up to the base of head. Qrow smiles into the kiss as he tugs at Cloverâs apron. Heâs been deliberately ignoring its instructions, aware of how frustrated it would make Clover- he only wears the âKiss the Cookâ apron when he means it.
âYouâre such a tease,â Clover gasps against Qrowâs mouth. Qrow fastens their lips together again, fiercely, before replying.
âThat so? What're you gonna do about it?â
âRight now?â Clover sighs, pressing soft kisses to Qrowâs jaw, ânothing.â
Before Qrow can register whatâs happening, Clover pulls away completely.
âWeâre both going to be late for work if we stay here all day,â he continues.
âIâm not opposed,â Qrow shrugs. Clover shoots him a withering look.
âGo get dressed for work. Iâll see you tonight,â he instructs.
âNow whoâs the tease,â Qrow mumbles under his breath as he heads out of the kitchen to heed Cloverâs instructions- he really does need to head to work, as much as heâd rather not.
âI heard that!â Clover shouts after him. Qrow chuckles and gets ready as swiftly as possible, grabbing Harbinger from the corner of the room before he leaves.
âMake sure youâre not late home, okay?â Clover reminds Qrow as he meets him by the front door, already buttoning up his sleeveless jacket.
âBlame Winter if I am,â Qrow says. Clover sighs at him and cups his face to kiss him again, swiftly.
âSee you tonight. Have a good day. I love you!â Clover smiles when they part. Qrow shakes his head fondly at the other manâs usual goodbye.
âYeah, yeah, I love you too. Donât get eaten by Grimm whilst Iâm gone,â he replies, opening the door. Clover gives him one last salute before Qrow steps outside. His foot falls onto the floor and instead of the solid path he should feel underneath him, he feels⊠snow.
Qrow turns around and their house is gone, replaced by endless stretches of snow. His breathing rate has increased exponentially and when he looks back down at the snow, he sees droplets of red. Thereâs a whirring sound from the sky and he can hear a distant maniacal laugh that is disturbingly familiar.
Itâs Tyrianâs laugh.
Harbinger is still in his hand but itâs coated in blood. He knows whose blood. Qrow doesnât want to turn around when he hears footsteps and a thud behind him, followed by a pained groan.
He canât just ignore him, though. He never would be able to.
Qrow lets Harbinger fall into the snow and then he is running- running towards Clover Ebiâs dying body. The blood contrasts so harshly with the pristine snow, staining it dark crimson. Thereâs so much of it- too much of it.
âSomeone had to take the fall,â Clover says and Qrow knows heâs right but not him, not like this, never like this.
âJames will take the fall. Iâll make sure of it,â is what he actually says. Cloverâs looking at him with the same fond eyes he always has. In this timeline, Qrow never gets to ask what it means, only hope. Itâs a futile hope now, anyway.
Clover struggles to smile and takes in a breath.
âGood luck,â he says softly, and theyâre the last words Qrow will ever hear him say, and itâs the last breath Qrow will ever see him take, and itâs the last jolt of life Qrow will ever feel go through his body.
Clover Ebiâs eyes go dull right in front of Qrowâs own. Qrow doesnât care about the Atlas ship approaching them. He screams and wails and cries over a friend heâd only just gotten to know, over the one piece of good luck thatâs ever waltzed into his life, over a confidant and a crush and someone he thought he had finally met his match in.
He is broken again.
Qrowâs eyes snap open and the first thing he notices is the feeling of cold metal underneath his head. Heâs still locked up in Atlas. He should probably do something about that- he promised Clover he would- but he still feels too numb.
The second thing Qrow notices is the feeling of cold metal underneath his fingers. A metal badge with a four-leaf clover engraved on it is digging into his hand so hard that it hurts. He clutches it tighter- itâs the only thing he has to remember Clover by.
Qrow thinks he might wear it. Maybe it can be his lucky charm now that his old one is gone. Dead.
It still feels a bit too soon, though. A bit too sore.
Thereâs no sound in the cell. Or anywhere. Qrow closes his eyes again. Heâs still so tired.
Maybe, if heâs lucky for once, another dream will come his way. Maybe, if heâs as unlucky as usual, one will, anyway.

four leaf clover - lucky
Something explodes in the distance.
Razel reacts accordingly: he jumps to his feet, lifts his hand off the supplies he was rearranging, and says, âDidnât do it!â
For once itâs more than a desperate attempt to avoid his supervisorâs wrath. Surely heâd have noticed if the crate of â he checks the label quickly â dehydrated fruit rations had exploded in his hands, and it sounded pretty distant anyway.
It turns out to be useless: no one is looking at him, accusingly or otherwise. All the other workers spur into action at the sound and Razel is left standing there like an idiot as they run around the docking bay, strapping crates of supplies to each other the way they do when theyâre about to enter a planetâs atmosphere.
Another explosion, and this time the floor shakes under his feet. People yell in surprise, trying to hold the few unattached boxes in place before they fall on someone. Razel stumbles and almost collides with his supervisor, Lexi Kendall. She catches him by the sleeve of his shirt before he can hit the ground instead and shoves a gun in his hands.
âMake yourself useful,â she barks.
She strides away before she can see him fumble with the weapon. They both know heâs no good with guns, so heâs not sure why she gave him one.
Yet another explosion rocks the ship, loud enough to cover the sound of panic in the room. The lights turn red, alarms blaring. Through the chaos, a voice screams,
âGuard the doors!â
Razel looks down at the gun. Then up at the crowd of people rushing through the small hangar space. Back at the gun. He puts it down on a nearby crate. Better be unharmed than accidentally shoot someone â itâs happened before and he doesnât fancy a repeat of that particular lecture. He replaces it with the crowbar he was using on the crates. Now that he can do something with.
Somewhere on the ship â above their heads, the mess hall maybe â thereâs the sound of fighting, people running over metal floors. Silence falls on the room, or as silent as it can be with the alarms still screaming in their ears. Workers and guards shift uneasily, fingers tightening around their guns.
Then, as suddenly as they started, the alarms stop. Itâs quiet enough to hear a pin drop⊠or the feet pounding outside the docking bay, coming to a stop on the other side of the door.
Razel takes a low stance, relaxes his shoulders and breathes out.
When the door is blown off its hinges, heâs ready.
Bullets rain over the singed gap left in the wall, but whoever was behind ducked for cover just in time. Kendall steps closer to the hole, her rifle held at the ready.
She collapses before she reaches it.
A second later enemies swarm the room, shooting down anyone who tries to fight back. They advance with ruthless efficiency but instead of uniforms theyâre wearing mismatched pieces of armor, obviously stolen off other shipments, patched to hell and back.
Pirates. Heâs never met those before! Heâs a little excited, to be honest.
Razel jumps out of cover when one of the pirates walks by the pile of crates. He slams the crowbar into their head and grins when they collapse to the ground. A good kick sends their stun gun way out of reach and he moves to the next one.
It takes a second for the pirates to react. Whatever opposition they were expecting, a maniac with a crowbar wasnât it. He gets a good few hits before they start shooting at him. He drops to the ground then, narrowly dodging a projectile. His slide takes him right into a piratesâ kneesâ and in the middle of the rest of them.
Think fast. Better: donât think at all.
He throws the crowbar with all his might. It hits a pirate square in the chest â he was aiming for the head but alright. Thereâs a sound like something cracking, and he winces even as he scrambles back to his feet and jump over their fallen body. It didnât sound pleasant.
Gunshot. Something collides with his back hard enough to send him back to the ground. He tries to cushion the fall with his hands but his body seizes up, muscles locking tight, and he hits the metal flooring face first. It hurts â might have broken his nose â but not as much as the burn of electricity through his veins.
Stun guns. Who would have thought.
Heâs still seizing up by the time footsteps reach him, echoing sharply in the room, quiet again save for the faint moans of pain from the other paralyzed workers. The toe of a boot nudges him in the ribs before flipping him on his back with a light kick. He wrinkles his nose â the only protest he can muster in this state â and groans when it only makes the pain worse by jostling the possibly broken cartilage.
The pirate standing over him, a stun rifle held loosely against their chest, is the one they got in the chest. He thinks itâs a miracle theyâre standing after that kind of blow before his eyes trail up to their face and he finds mechanical eyes staring back.
An exo. That explains it. Not much that can keep these down.
âFeisty, arenât ya?â The exo says â a male, by the sound of it. He gives Razel something that might be a smile, internal light brightening as he opens his mouth slightly, and nudges him again. âA gun might have been more useful.â
The electrical jolts have calmed down enough that Razel can unlock his jaws enough to say, âCanât shoot.â
The exo kneels next to him and drags him up into a sitting position, pulls his arms back and loops a long cord around his wrists. His voice sounds a little mocking when he speaks again, moving down to do the same thing to his ankles.
âAnd they hired you anyway?â
âThey never told me Iâd have to use a gun!â He pouts. âNot that I need one anyway.â
âYouâve got a good throwing arm on you, I can tell ya that much.â
Once satisfied with his knots the pirate steps away and to the center of the room, making a quick turn on himself to take a good look at the rest of Razelâs coworkers, all similarly tied-up. He clears his throat, if such a thing is necessary for robots.
âGood evening, good people of the Clovis Bray Corporation!â He makes a mock bow at them, opening his arms wide like a performer thanking the public after a play. His finger never leaves the trigger of his handcannon. âMy name is Cayde-5, and my wonderful friends and I have decided to huh⊠appropriate the goods you are carrying. Stay calm, and weâll be off before dinnertime!â
The rest of the pirates â most of them exos, he notices â donât look half as friendly. Relaxed, yes, as they lean against walls and cargo crates, but the way they keep their guns pointed at the hostages doesnât seem friendly to Razel. Their leader though⊠Heâs fun. If he wasnât holding him hostage, Razel thinks heâd like him.
Itâs a little disheartening to see all his hard work organizing these crates goes to waste as the pirates start carrying them away to where one of their own is setting up a transmat zone. He sighs wistfully as they cart off the crates full of canned food. There are canned peaches in these that heâd kill for.
âSomething on your mind, crowbar guy?â
He has to crane his neck to look Cayde-5 in the eyes from his position on the floor, and the movement isnât made any more comfortable by the way his arms are tied behind his back. He manages a small shrug despite the tight bindings.
âItâs Razel, actually. And I guess Iâm kinda bummed out,â he says. âIf Iâd known we were gonna get robbed, Iâd have kept some of my candy stash for later. I was kind of resting all my hopes on those canned fruits.â
âNever put all your eggs in one basket,â Cayde-5 says wisely. âSucks for those snacks though.â
He thinks about it for a second. âI have a chocolate bar left in my pocket actually,â he says, because he remembers shoving it there before Thomas could catch him in the act and steal it. âSo itâs not too bad.â
Thereâs a second of quiet as both of them watch the pirates work. Finally Cayde says, âGotta say Iâm impressed, crowbar. Youâre taking this really well.â
âThanks! All the ships I get on end up getting robbed at some point so, you know, you get used to it.â
He can see Kendall glaring at him from behind the pirateâs back, probably because heâs chatting with the enemy, but itâll be awhile before theyâre done taking all their stuff so he might as well entertain myself. Cayde looks above his shoulder, and Razel thinks he somehow felt the weight of her glare on his neck, but he just calls out to one of his pirates instead.
âYou heard that Mint? That guy survived⊠how many robberies was it?â
âHuh, I donât know. About a dozen?â
âA dozen robberies Mint! How cool is that?â
One of the pirates stops, puts down the crate he was carrying and leans against it to reply to his boss. âDoesnât sound all that cool for the one getting robbed though.â
âI know, but⊠dozen attacks, and he still has all his limbs! How lucky is that?â
Mint thinks about it for a second and concedes the point with a nod and an appreciative hum.
âItâs not so bad, after a while,â Razel feels the need to clarify. âI mean, once youâve sat at gunpoint while someone took all your stuff once, it all starts to look the same, you know?â
âIt is more fun when youâre the one doing the robbing,â Cayde agrees. He sits down on his heels and gives Razel a good hard look. Heâs glad for it: his neck was starting to ache. âTell you what, you give me that chocolate bar youâve got squirreled away in one of these pockets and you can tag along, see how it looks from the other end of the robbery. How does that sound?â
A few pirates make noises of protest, though thereâs not much energy in it, like theyâre used to that kind of recruitment technique. Kendall yells something along the line of donât you dare-
Razel them and takes a moment to think about it, really think about it. He looks at the pirates, who shakes their head at their captainâs antics and move on. He looks at Kendall, glaring daggers at the two of them, then at Cayde, who winks at him. He looks at the crate of fruit preserves.
âOkay,â he agrees. âBut I call dibs on the canned peaches.â
âDeal.â

Ship in the Night: Followup
Liu Hai grumbled under his breath as he slammed the bedroom door, and stormed toward the other end of the room where another door lied. Egotistical little goose, acting like he was saving him, when it was his fault to begin with.
He pushed the door open, finding a small but impressive bathroom covered in white marble. A black lined tub sat in the back, next to the sink, with several tiny bottles of soaps and hair care products lining the rim. Sighing, Liu Hai made his way over, undoing his robe as he went.
He hated Gladstone but he had a point; a bath was sorely needed after his days on the street. And he'd be lying if he said he didn't want it.
A few minutes later, he was submerged in a heated bath, a content sigh escaping him.
Hot water was a blessing he took for granted.
::::::::
What seemed like hours later, Liu Hai was wrapped in the large puffy towel, and cautiously opening the door. He peered out into the guest room, making sure Gladstone wasn't inside, and exited once he was certain. The boat was quiet, creaking as it rocked in the small waves.
He approached the bed, and noticed the folded white shirt that sat atop it. Well, at least Gander had remembered that; he himself had forgotten entirely about leaving his robe out for pickup.
Picking it up, he noticed the text on front, and read it over. A minute ticked by as he reread it, before scowling even more.
"I hate you, Gander..."
A few minutes later he was pulling the shirt on, frowning at it still. In bright green were the words 'Lucky Shirt with a four leaf clover beneath them. Surely Gladstone was making fun of him with this atrocity of a shirt.
A knock pulled him from his fuming, and Gladstone's voice called through the door.
"Hey Loo Loo, you decent?"
"Yes, and stop it with the infantile nicknames!"
"Nope," Gladstone snickered as he walked in, "just gonna have to get used to it. I have a whole list I never got to use for you. Anyway, I'm about to turn in, need anything else?"
"A less ridiculous shirt?"
"Yeeaah, sorry about that, it's the only spare shirt I was willing to chop up."
"Tch, whatever..."
"You know," Gladstone crossed his arms, irritation now becoming evident, "a thank you isn't gonna kill you."
Liu Hai snarled furiously.
"Thank you?! YOU did this! If you hadn't brought that duck into my house--!"
"The house you were holding me hostage in?!"
"Oh and you were so miserable?! I gave you the penthouse, anything you asked for, I treated you like a king!"
"Yeah, in hopes I'd give into Stockholm or something! Look you need to start showing me SOME gratitude, I didn't have to take you in! I could've left you on the streets!"
"SO WHY DIDN'T YOU?!"
"I ALREADY TOLD YOU!"
"Ah, yes, because I remind you if yourself-- so sweet, and complete garbage! What really made you do it?! What do you want from me?!"
"I don't WANT anything from you--other than a please and thank you every now and then-- I just wanted to help you!"
"Yes, sure, that's all."
"Look if you don't believe me, that's your problem! I just thought I'd be the bigger man and lend you a hand but if you're gonna be a brat the entire time then don't expect me to be any better!"
"I know what you mortals are like, you ALWAYS want something from me! Nothing ever changes here!"
"All I WANT is you showing me some gratitude! And MAYBE you learning to be a decent person or something, I dunno! But maybe I was overestimating you, maybe you're just stuck like this forever! I just thought maybe if I could I help YOU then I'd--!"
He stopped, beak snapping shut; Liu Hai's puzzled frown grew more angry as the silence stretched into a minute, before Gladstone abruptly turned away.
"Look, do whatever you want. Believe me, don't believe me. I don't care. Goodnight."
He slammed the door behind him, leaving the small god to himself. Liu Hai scoffed, and returned to the bedside.
As if Gladstone had any right to be upset, when he'd done THIS to him.
If anyone should be upset it's me! He thinks he's some high and mighty rescuer, thinks I can't see his game. He wants something, I know he does...
He climbed onto the bed, and a quick observation showed him only one thin sheet. Curses, he should've demanded a thicker blanket before telling him off....
No matter, one night won't be hard. I'm dried off enough, and it's not too cold out....
He slid under it, and found fatigue quickly quieting his fuming thoughts and pulling him into slumber...
:
:
:
He came to sometime later, he wasn't sure how long.
Everything was a blurry, mixed mess of colors and shapes. Nothing made sense and he couldn't form a coherent thought except one.
Cold.
He was so very cold. He couldn't do cold, not for long. He needed warmth.
He curled tighter under the thin sheet, but it didn't offer any more warmth than he currently had. He needed something more, something warmer...
His eyes cracked open again, met with shades of blue and grey. Nothing warm enough in here...looking up though, a blot of orange suddenly came into view. It was mixed with the blue around it, obviously behind several walls, but it wasn't very far...
He crawled forward, vision swimming with the various signatures and verging on darkness once more. He had to get to the warm object, fast, faster.
The bed abruptly vanished beneath him as he tipped forward, landing on the floor with a thud and a soft moan. He forced himself back up though, and stumbled forward, toward the orange blot. He found a door, and fumbled with the handle before finally managing to push it open. The floor was cold, like tiles...he didn't like it, he needed to move faster, get off of it, get away from it--
He grunted, colliding with another wall; feeling his way through, he found another door, and pulled it open. The orange was brighter now, he'd found it...but it was up so high. He wasn't sure he could manage that climb, but...he'd freeze if he didn't. Grabbing fistfuls of fabric, he pulled himself upward, clambering onto the soft form, it felt like another bed, but was far more plush than the guest one he'd had...
Already he was warmer. He'd be okay now, he just had to stay here until...
With the added warmth and comfort, he'd barely curled up before slipping off again, losing himself to the call of slumber...
:
Gladstone started when he heard a soft, distant thud. He lay there for a moment, listening, but heard nothing else. Must've been the wind...
Then he heard the door to his room connecting the bathroom open. He lay still, as soft footfalls came closer...though, they were clumsy and uncoordinated by the sounds of it. Then he felt something climbing its way onto the down feather bed, softly grunting.
Moments later, a small form suddenly dropped beside him, pressing against his back. He jumped, and quickly sat up as he jerked the blanket back.
"...Toad? What're you doing...?!"
Liu Hai didn't answer, only curled into a tight ball as he pressed harder against his side. Gladstone quirked a brow at this; hours ago, Toad wanted almost nothing to do with him. Now he was suddenly camping out in his bed? What in the world was he...?
He paused, becoming aware of the soft tremors wracking the smaller one's form. He was shaking terribly, like he was cold...
"Toad? Hey...Liu Hai, can you hear me...?"
He carefully shook him, and Liu Hai did stir somewhat, eyes struggling to open. His eyes...they had an odd glow to them now, a dim yellow color, and they didn't seem to really see him, he noticed...
"....Toad, you okay? What's wrong?"
"...mmm.....cold......need warm...."
He sounded drunk, his words muffled and slurring together. Gladstone didn't get anymore out of him before he passed out again, eyes slipping shut. He watched him for several minutes, confused and uncertain what to do.
How was he so cold? Sure it wasn't exactly a summer vacation but it wasn't a winter wonderland either. Toad shouldn't be THAT cold---
.....toad. He was a toad. Toads were cold blooded, of COURSE he was struggling. He'd just had a bath, only had a trimmed shirt and thin sheet as cover, not to mention they were on a boat, at night. It was a recipe for standard fall weather for him, but for a cold blooded being like Liu Hai....
"...dang it, Toadster, why didn't you say anything? I could've gotten you extra blankets or something."
Of course he got no answer, Liu Hai was too far gone at this point. He was snoring quietly, the trembling had lessened somewhat, but was still noticeable. He was almost....cute.
Gladstone sighed, and eased himself back down.
"Alright, just for tonight..."
He'd figure it out tomorrow, when Liu Hai was a little more mentally present. He didn't know how to take care of anything cold blooded, he was going to need intel--
He jumped again when Liu Hai suddenly moved closer, pressed against his chest, mumbling incoherently in his sleep. He was almost cat like in his pursuit for warmth, pushing closer even when there was nowhere left to go. Eventually, he settled for simply tucking himself beneath his beak, and ceased moving.
"Oookay this is getting a little weird, just gonna go to sleep now..."
The sooner he went to sleep, the sooner he'd wake up and get out of this moment. The morning was going to be an interesting conversation...

Birthday Boy (Peter Parker x Stark!Reader)
Pairing: Peter Parker x Reader
Summary: To celebrate Peter turning seventeen Tony arranges for you (his daughter) and Peter to go spend a few days in Washington. Even tho you are quite happy to spend a few days with him, the only reason your father allowed you to go was so that you could keep an eye on Peter, despite you being the same age as him.
A/N: Our boy turned 17 some time ago and only now did I have time to publish this piece. The group are supposed to spend a weekend there but on this imagine I have only written the Friday night part... Would you be interested in two more parts, each one about the two other days?! Let me know!
Word Count: 1099
Warnings: Nein?
Request are OPEN / Ships are OPEN
âIâm really glad youâre letting Y/N come with me Mr. Stark! Sheâs like a four leaf clover! Hard to find, lucky to have!â
âYeah, and some people are like clouds. When they go away, it's a brighter day. But what do you mean have?â
âNo! Not like that! Not that sheâs not an amazing person or anything like that but I didnât mean that I have her per say in any romantically-implied way and I am sorry if that came across like that because really I donât feel that way Mr. Stark! Sheâs really amazing and sweet so I think she probably takes it from Mrs. Potts not that you are not--â
âMaybe we should get going!â you blurt out interrupting the rambling that would probably get Peter in trouble âRight, dad? We both know how Happy gets when he has to drive at night and none of us wants to deal with that so letâs get going while itâs still daytime! Itâs a 4 hour drive and we don't wanna get late!âÂ
âKid, if something happens to my daughter you might not want to stay in the country.â Tony warns while pointing an accusatory finger at Peter.
âYes Mr. Stark! Nothing will happen to her! Promise!â he said pretty quickly still intimidated by your fatherâs authority. Or rather, self-established authority.
âDad, itâs only a weekend.â sighing you pick up your coat and backpack walking closer to where your father was standing
âYes, and ebola was only a disease and look what happened.â he answered bringing his right hand up to the back of your head so that he could kiss your forehead for a few seconds, causing you to close your eyes
âYouâre seriously not comparing Peter to a deadly diseaseâ you murmur still with your eyes closed
âAh ah ah!â your father pushed you lightly away by one shoulder forcing you to face him, while his free hand wiggled in front of your face. âDeadly when not taken the necessary precautions! And that means not having a responsible adult or you looking after him.âÂ
âYou just called yourself a responsible adult?!â You questioned in a mocking tone.
âJust get out the door!âÂ
Laughing away his answer, you say your final goodbyes before entering the elevator that took you right to the parking lot where Happy was waiting inside the car with Peter by his side, rambling away. Carefully, you place your bags in the trunk right before shutting it close and entering the car.
âIf something happens, not saying that it will, you will help me cover it up, right, Mr. Hogan?! I mean, you wouldnât let Mr. Stark get mad at me right?!â
âKid, for all I care, he could turn you into a Sunday lunch roast and I would gladly eat it. If that means that I keep my job or that you pay for any harm done to Y/N Iâll even cook the roast myself.â
Peter looked appalled and silently exited the shotgun seat to come seat next to you still a little bit... shook.
âHappy, stop youâre scaring him!â you request him trying not to laugh at the conversation you had just witnessed. Turning to Peter you try to calm and reassure him âHe doesnât mean it.âÂ
âOh I sure do!â you hear from the driverâs seat.
âHappy! Letâs just get on the road, shall we?â
4 and a half hours later...
Plopping heavily down on your bed while Peter closed the hotel door,you let out an audible groan before murmuring against the soft cushions.
âThis bed is so comfy... I could sleep right here and now.âÂ
While were exhausted of so many hours on the road, Peter (as usual) seemed to have drunk a whole Red Bull because right as he carefully placed away his bags he jumped right on the bed. After a few moments of happy and energized jumping and you almost drifting away you hear his voice behind and above you, as you were facing the opposite side of the room.
âIâm sick of Mr. Stark treating me like a kid!â
You wearily turn your head so that youâre facing him putting on your best confused face.
âWhat do you mean?â
âYou know very well that the only reason he agreed to let you come with me was so that you would look after me.â he replied with an emphasis on those two words that made him feel like a kid that needed to be babysit.
âPeter, I am the same age as you, how could I possibly exerce any authority over you?! I am just here to have fun you my friend.â
âSee, thatâs the thing. You are only 2 weeks older than me but somehow it always seems as if you have had more years of life experience that most adults I know. You are so responsible! How can you do it?!â
âOkay...maybe I was sent here to take care of you. BUT I also came here to have fun! The initial plan was supposed to be only you and Jacob but my dad couldnât bare the idea of two teenage boys in the prime of their hormonal stage wandering around in a far away city! And Jacob is still coming!â
âWhen does he arrive?
âWell he might be here any minute now!â
âBut why didnât he come in the car with us?! We couldâve picked him up!â
âI may or may not have pulled some strings and persuaded my dad to agree on getting him here using one of his suits...â
âARE YOU CRAZY? Its Jacob weâre talking about!â
âCALM DOWN! I am the responsible one here, remember? Its on cruise mode. He doesnât have nor can he do anything to mess with the suit. He is just being transported here.â
And as if on cue you hear a loud engine on the outside of your room, revealing itself to be the sound of the thrusters on the Iron-suit that opened his mask to reveal an ecstatic Jacob.
âY/N YOUR FATHER IS THE BEST, THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN MY LIFE.âÂ
The rest of the suit opened up, allowing Jacob to climb in through your window, balancing himself before jumping inside.
âThank you F.R.I.D.A.Y.â you say looking at the suit, before it closed itself up again, standing back from the window only to deliver one last message in itâs robotic voice before flying away.
âYouâre welcome Ms. Stark! Before, I go Mr. Stark has requested me to remind you all to sleep in separate beds, and if possible, separe rooms.â
âDad!â

Must Reads Special #3
Grab your favorite comfort food and an extra box of tissues. Itâs time for another special edition of Must Reads. This months episode: Tears Part 1 Some of my favorite moments that will always make me cry.Â
--Cowboy Bebop âThe futuristic misadventures and tragedies of an easygoing bounty hunter and his partners.â
Episode 24: âHard Luck Womanâ Faye comes across an elderly woman who knew her when she was younger which triggers some of her memories to return. Back at the Bebop, Ed runs into her absentee father and the rest of Fayeâs memories return. As Faye leaves to find her home, she tells Ed that belonging somewhere is the best. Which prompts Ed to leave as Ein follows. Spray painting bye-bye on the ship before she leaves. As Spike and Jet eat the eggs that they had split for everyone we see Faye excitedly run up to her old home only to find nothing but ruins. She draws where her bed was and lays down.Â
Itâs sad enough to see the Bebop crew split up like this but with âCall Meâ playing in the background, it makes this scene all the more heart breaking.
Episode 18: âSpeak Like A Childâ Our first look into Fayeâs past through a mysterious package that turns out to be a tape that she sent to herself as a child. All other music and sounds stop, except for a quiet piano in the background. As the crew looks on, Faye spying from the door, it starts of easily enough. A glimpse into what was. But what rips out my heart every time is the cheer Faye gives to herself. Faye doesnât remember making the tape or who she was and was like. So although young Faye is telling herself not to lose, to keep trying, adult Faye has already lost (at least in terms of memory).
Young Faye: âGood morning, me. Did you sleep well? Did you wake up feeling good? Did the light, and the wind, and the smell, and the sound, all seem like theyâre brand new and fresh this morning? Is each and every cell in your whole body awake and alive now? Today, you are who you are today. See? Youâre still me, but youâre a newer version.âŠMyself ten years from now. Itâs so far away; itâs almost impossible to imagine. Am I alone or is there a wonderful person next to me? Knowing me Iâm sure youâre causing all kinds of trouble for lots of different people. Iâm sorry, I donât mean to, but itâs all right. Thatâs part of life too, isnât it? Youâre not perfect but youâve got a lot to give, so remember: Iâll always be cheering you on. And now a big cheer from my heart. Letâs...go...me, alright! Do your best! Do your best! Donât lose me! Letâs go, donât lose, donât lose me! Do your best! Do your best! Me, me, me! Donât lose, donât lose! Me, me, me! Go me! In your time I'm no longer here, but I am here today, and I'll always be cheering for you, right here. Cheering for you- my only self.â
--Futurama âThe adventures of a late-20th-century New York City pizza delivery boy, Phili J. Fry, who, after being unwittingly cryogenically frozen for one thousand years, finds employment at Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery company in the retro-futuristic 31st century.â
Episode 2: âThe Series Has Landedâ Fry, Leela, Bender, and Amy head to the moon to deliver their first package as a delivery crew. The scene that makes me tear up; in more of a bitter sweet kind of feeling instead of downright sad, is when Fry and Leela are on the dark side of the moon in the Apollo 11 lander. Then this moment happens:
Fry:Â âLook, Leela. Iâm sorry. I never should have dragged you out here.â Leela:Â âThatâs right, you shouldnât have. I still donât get what the big attraction is.â Fry:Â âI never told anybody this, but a thousand years ago I used to look up at the moon and dream about being an astronaut. I just didnât have the grades, or the physical endurance. Plus I threw up a lot, and nobody liked spending a week with me.â Leela:Â âA week would be a little much.â Fry:Â âThe moon was like this awesome, romantic, mysterious thing, hanging up there in the sky where you could never reach it, no matter how much you wanted to. But youâre right. Once youâre actually here, itâs just a big, dull rock. I guess I just wanted you to see it through my eyes, the way I used to.â Leela:Â âFry, look. It really is beautiful. I donât know why I never noticed it before.â
It was the first scene that showed me that this show was going to be much more than a silly comedy. It would have moments like these where it becomes something beautiful.
Episode 137:Â âGame of Tonesâ A strange ship is heading toward Earth emitting four loud notes that start to cause structural damage on the planet. Fry seems to recognize the melody so they put him to sleep to explore his memories of the day he was frozen to find what was causing the melody.Â
I havenât seen this episode as much as the others on my list today but I do remember the ending. As a thank you for helping save the world again Nibbler helps transport Fry to his mothers dream so he could speak to her. She mentions that she dreamed about him a lot since his disappearance and asks what he wanted to speak about. Speechless, he just hugs her and back in the year 2000 his mother wakes from her dream to Fryâs picture on her nightstand, smiles, and peacefully falls back to sleep.
Episode 56: âLeelaâs Homeworldâ Leela learns the truth about where she is from. She is not the only cyclops alien in existence, she is a mutant and her parents gave her up so she could have a better life on the surface. At first she believes that the two mutants killed her real parents and almost kills them when they said they did. Then Fry shows up with the note that was left with Leela when she was given away saying it was written on paper commonly used in the sewers. After the reveal Leela says that they are her parents, they embrace and everyone cries. Even Bender gives out a little aww. But what really kicks you in the feels is the montage that follows, showcasing all the ways that Leelaâs family secretly looked after throughout her life. Catching her before she could fall down some stairs, leaving her cookies while she worked on homework, giving her birthday presents, and even covering her up with a blanket to this day while she slept.
Episode 36: The Luck of the Fryrish After a string of bad luck Fry wishes he had his old seven-leaf clover; that helps him beat his older brother at everything, and with the help of Leela and Bender they travel to the ruins of Old New York to see if they can find it. Amazingly his house is still there but the clover is gone and after finding a statue that looks like his brother, Yancy, with the inscription, âPhilip J. Fry The Original Martian, he concludes that his brother must have stolen it and his dream to be the first person on Mars. Fry finds out where his brother is buried and decides to do a little grave-robbing to get his clover back. The episode jumps between Fryâs past and his current time. Mainly focusing on his relationship with his older brother. Showing how Yancy wanted to be named Philip and kept copying Fry.Â
Once they arrive at the grave Fry knocks off the moss that had covered the graves inscription. It then jumps to his older brother discussing what to name his newborn son with his wife:Â
Yancy:Â âDaddy has a present for you today. Do you know what it is? Itâs a lucky clover that can help you be successful whatever you do. Even break dancing. And it once belonged to someone very special.â His wife:Â âI know what name you want to give him, Yancy. Itâs okay.â Yancy: Really? Son, Iâm naming you Philip J. Fry in honor of my little brother, who I miss every day. I love you Philip (sniff) and I always will.â
Fry (reading the inscription):Â âHere lies Philip J. Fry, named for his uncle, to carry on his spirit.â
The episode packs quite a punch. We spend the majority of the episode under the idea that Yancy didnât care for Fry much. He wanted to be the one named Philip, he wanted to steal the clover, he kept copying his brotherâs style, and appears to have taken over Fryâs life. And through Fryâs frustrations, we donât care much for Yancy in the beginning. But upon later reflection we realize that Yancy actually admired and loved Fry a lot and wanted to be more like him. And I think Fry spends most of his life thinking that his brother may not have liked him and here he has irrevocable proof that his brother loved him.
Episode 61: Jurassic Bark At a fair about the 21st century Fry finds his old dog, Seymour, fossilized. With the Professorâs help they plan to clone Seymour but Bender becomes jealous and throws Seymour into lava. But realizing that Fry could love an âinferior creatureâ and wasnât trying to annoy him jumps into the lava to rescue Seymour before he melts. As they begin to extract Seymourâs DNA it is revealed that Seymour died at 15, 12 years after Fry was frozen, and Fry has them stop the cloning. When this happens:Â
Bender: âFry, whatâs wrong?â Fry: âThink about it: Seymour lived a full life after I was gone...He probably even added new songs to his repertoire.â Bender: âBut thatâs a good thing. âWalkinâ On Sunshineâ sucks noodles.â Fry: âI had Seymour âtill he was three. Thatâs when I knew him, and thatâs when I loved him...Iâll never forget him...But he forgot me a long, long time ago...â
After giving Seymour one last affectionate pat goodbye it cuts to show that Seymour spent twelve years outside Panucciâs Pizza waiting for Fry to return (while âI Will Wait for Youâ plays in the background). Until one day he laid down and closed his eyes.Â
Kills me every time. Fry thought Seymour happily moved on but he dutifully stayed there and waited for his return.
--Gattaca Gattaca is my favorite movie. And I have a lot of contenders for that position. But when it comes down to it and when I really stop and think about it, Gattaca is the first that comes to mind. Iâve looked up and thought about many of the quotes from it.Â
In a futuristic setting (though the present gets closer and closer to it everyday) people are born through eugenics. Born to be the best of both parts of their parents DNA. Those born in a more natural was are known as âGod-childâ and are discriminated against.Â
Vincent:Â âI belonged to a new underclass, no longer determined by social status or the color of your skin. No, we know have discrimination down to a science.â
Vincent is one such God-child who dreams of going to space but no one is willing to hire him due to having a high possibility of getting sick and having an estimated life span of only 30.2 years. But with the help of a genetic donor he switches places with one Jerome Eugene Marrow, a former professional swimmer who was injured in a car accident. Posing as Eugene, the fake Eugene gets a job at Gattaca and will be heading to Titan as a navigator. But a murder occurs at Gattaca and almost gets him found out when an eyelash of his real DNA is found near the scene. After evading police and the real murderer being found fake Eugene is all set to go to Titan. Only to find a new security DNA check before loading. Not having any extra samples of real Eugene, fake Eugene is found out by the doctor that has always done the DNA tests. And has known about Eugene posing as someone else for a long time. He then joins the rest of the crew and is last scene heading off to Titan.
I love this movie for various reasons and I might someday do a whole breakdown of why. But for now, why it makes me cry. It is the ending. As he says his last line:Â
Vincent (as Eugene):Â âFor someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess, Iâm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once a part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving; maybe I'm going home.â
I tear up every time. The first time I donât think I even knew why because I didnât grasp the full film. That took a second viewing and a little research. There is the argument of how far are we willing to take science, thereâs the issue on prejudice, and how limiting creating people in such a way can slow progress and ultimately affect our lives. How we would stop pushing ourselves. But for now letâs just leave it as an example of the underdog proving everyone wrong and rising to a position that no one believed they could make it to.
Anton: âVincent! How are you doing this Vincent? How have you done any of this? We have to go back.â Vincent: âItâs too late for that. Weâre closer to the other side.â Anton: âWhat other side? You wanna drown us both?â Vincent: âYou wanna know how I did it? This is how I did it Anton: I never saved anything for the swim back.â
And then thereâs this moment with his love interest, Irene:
Vincent: âMy name is Vincent, all right? Vincent Anton Freeman, and I'm a "faith birth" or a "de-gene-erate", whatever you want to call it; but I am NOT a murderer!â Irene: âYou're a "God-child"?â Vincent: âBut we do have one thing in common, only I don't have twenty or thirty years left in mine. Mine is already ten thousand beats overdue.â Irene: âIt's not possible.â Vincent: âYou are the authority on what is not possible, aren't you Irene? They've got you looking for any flaw, that after a while that's all you see. For what it's worth, I'm here to tell you that it is possible. It is possible.â
--The Possibility of Fireflies by Dominique Paul âItâs 1987 and fourteen-year-old Ellie Roma doesnât have much of a family. She lives with her mother, who has taken a break from parenting; and her older sister, Gwen, who is on her way to becoming a juvenile delinquent. Her father left them to start a new life. So Ellie spends a lot of time alone, especially at night, when all she has to keep her company are the fireflies that flicker in the summer air. Then one day a mysterious stranger enters her dark world. He is Leo, twenty-one, who is on his way to Hollywood to become a rock star. Ellie and Leo connect instantly, and Ellie hopes Leo will be the one to rescue her from her unhappy life. But instead, Leo teaches Ellie that no one can save you. You have to go after what you want. So one night - one terrible, frightening night - thatâs exactly what Ellie decides to do.â
I loved this book. I read it at least three or four times when I was in middle school. Partly it was because I could relate to Ellie really well. My parents got divorced when I was nine and although I didnât have abusive parents, the woman my dad got remarried to did do a lot of emotional and mental abuse to my older sister and myself. And those first several years of the divorce it was pretty rough. Iâve blocked a lot of it out and I try my best not to think about it but every now and then those memories like to attack. Due to the strong connection I felt toward Ellie and my own history, I have cried every time I have read this book.
Why it makes me cry. There are plenty of sad moments throughout this book but what makes me cry every time is the ending. Near the end Ellieâs older sister decides to run away with her friend. Ellie doesnât really want to stay there with her mother alone so she runs across the street and asks to leave with her new neighbor friend. Who turns down her offer but does give her a ride and some money to get on a bus. She decides to go to her dads house and thinks of everything theyâll do together. But when she arrives no one is home and there arenât even any fireflies for her to watch. As she starts to wonder if he even still lives there and would even want to see her, a car pulls up. It is her father and he leads her inside and shows her a bed (or was it a couch? Itâs been a while since I last read it) so she can get some sleep. He tells her goodnight and leaves a house key for her on the table.Â
--Yu Yu Hakusho âFrom cutting classes to brawling in the streets, Yusuke Urameshi is not your typical role model. In fact, this kid's nothing more than a fourteen-year-old delinquent with a talent for trouble. But in a single selfless act Yusuke dies while saving another. For such noble sacrifice he is given a second chance at life, but it's to be a life far different than the one left behind. Now a Spirit Detective, the young man must track down demons and humans alike who desire to rule over the three realms of reality.â
Episode 1: âSurprised to be Deadâ Yusukeâs funeral. The first time I saw Yu Yu Hakusho was during my early anime years. So I was very unprepared for someone to actually die in their show. No other anime I was watching at the time had any deaths yet, least of all it the main character.Â
If youâve never seen this classic series Yusuke is a delinquent. He skips school, starts fights, all that. And yet he stops to save a child who was almost hit by a car and dies in the process. The shinigami who breaks the news to him, Botan, takes him to his funeral. Yusuke expects to see everyone laughing and being glad that heâs dead. Including his mother, his rival, classmates. Only to find his mother and his childhood friend, Keiko, crying. Then comes in his rival, his principal, and the boy he saved. And then Iâm an emotional wreck.
Komada: "Come on, let's go back! This isn't right!" Kuwabara:Â âShut up! Let go of me, wouldja?" Yusuke (floating over everyoneâs heads):Â âWhat? Kuwabara [his rival]?!â Kuwabara (enters Yusukeâs apartment):Â "Damn you! You think you can just back out 'cause you're scared!" Okubo:Â "Kuwabara, this place is for mourning!" Kuwabara:Â "I'm not gonna leave! Not until he comes out here and lets me fight him!" Okubo:Â âHe canât do that!â Kuwabara: "I'm gonna beat you down, you punk! You hear me? Who do you think you are, huh? Dirty punk! Who am I gonna fight now? Who am I gonna fight?" Okubo:Â âHeâs gone!â Kuwabara:Â âNo! Youâre supposed to be here...for me.â [and thus this bromance was born]
Takenaka:Â "At first I was so surprised, Yusuke...to hear you'd saved a kid at the cost of your own life. You've always acted more selfishly than that. Darn. Yusuke, I don't know why I don't feel like speaking well of you. [begins to cry] Why didn't you stay? You could have made something great out of yourself!"
Little Boy (the one Yusuke saved): "Mommy, do you think it'd be okay if I played with that boy tomorrow, if I'm good?" Mother: "No, son." Little Boy: "I know some people sounded angry at him, but he's really nice. He made really funny faces at me too, and he got me my ball! I don't know why those people were crying like that. It was probably because they wanted to play with him, too."
I think this was the first anime that ever made me cry. Yusuke thinks everyone hates him, would probably be better off if he wasnât around, and then finds out that isnât the case (a bit of Itâs a Wonderful Life moment). It was a very sad scene and gets me every time.

Empress Part 3
Summary: Youâre apart of the 100. Youâre very bad-ass and donât take shit from no-one. However, the longer youâre on earth, the more complicated things become.
Ship: Bellamy Blake x Fem!Reader, Dimitri x Fem!Reader
Warnings: angst, swearing, fluff, a wee bit of smut, etc.
Tagging: @kiralivelove @thalia-prior-of-ravenclaw @anamcg317 @bellasett @queentiffanyyy @archer-whovian-violinist @beingmadinwonderland @princessisabelle19Â
Your P.O.V
When I came back from Dimitriâs, I felt different, more relaxed; happy. There was some sort of giddiness bubbling up from inside of me. A feeling I wasnât accustomed to. Not only was there an inner change but there was an outer. Clarke eyed me as we finished stacking supplies. âWhatâs got you so happy?â I look at her with a innocent expression, shrugging. âI donât know what youâre talking about. Why?â She smirked, sitting on the operating table, her legs swinging from below. âLiar. Who do you have the hots for?â I scoff, rolling my eyes. That might be one of the weirdest ways of wording attraction towards another individual. âI do not have the âhotsâ for anyone.â She takes a bottle from me, tauntingly. âTell me.â Because of my height, I tower over her, grabbing the bottle before smiling back down at her.
âThere is no one.â All of a sudden, a small voice called from behind us. âExcuse me, Miss.â Trevor, a boy about a year or two younger than me walked in, not making eye contact with either one of us, hides in the corner. I glance down at his bloody hand, rolling my eyes. Trevor had been in a few times throughout this week. âGo sit on the chair.â I say, and he practically runs over to it, almost falling over on the way. Clark nudges me with a smirk. âLooks like youâve got a admirer.â I glare and internally groan. After patching him up, I grip his hand, not painfully tight but hard enough that there was pressure in that area. âIâm switching your job. We canât have you in here if youâre gonna get hurt all the time. Come back tomorrow so we can re-bandage it.â
Trevor nods, shyly before shuffling down the conveyor belt and out of the drop-ship. I shake my head, washing my hands before I pulled out the liquor bottle and two shot glasses, motioning for Clarke to sit. She does, smiling. âSeems as though heâs been finding reasons to come here.â Clarke says as she drinks. I shake my head again, propping my legs up and onto the table. âI figured. Thatâs a horribly dark way of grabbing someoneâs attention.â She smiles again. â(Y/n) and Trevor, sitting in a tree-â I take the rest of the liquor form her, laughing as she pouted. âShut up, and Iâll give you the bottle.â
Almost immediately, sheâs quiet. I pour her another shot, grinning. I was the only one who saw this playful side of her. She didnât open up to anyone, I being the lucky few that saw her this way. All of a sudden, a large bumbling mass tore open the tarp and came in. Bellamy. I was about to roll my eyes at his presence but didnât when I noticed the look of pure desperation on his face. âHave either of you seen Octavia?â I was about to say that I had but in all honesty, I hadnât. âNo.â Clarke muttered, glancing back at me curiously as I shook my head. He sighed, voice shakey, almost scared. I stand up, giving him a determined expression. âWeâll find her.â
He nodded, looking between the two of us with hope in his eyes. âThank you.â Bellamy manages to spew out some sort of gratitude. He both grateful and oddly uncomfortable. We search the camp and found no traces of Octavia. I persuaded Clarke stay and watch over the camp. She was one of the few that I could trust. Jasper and Finn follow Bellamy and I into the forest. I rested my hand on Bellamyâs shoulder, making sure we are far enough away from the other two before saying. âWeâll find her. Iâm gonna go this way. Iâll meet you all back here-â Blake opened his mouth to detest but I spoke first. âIâll be fine. Not that you care but I know where Iâm going.â
And with that, I stalked off towards the one person who would know what was happening. Dimitri. He must know something about this. I wonder if he knew or possibly did this? No, he wouldnât do that. At least, I donât think he would. I turn over my shoulder to make sure nobody is following me. All clear. However, as I got closer to Dimitriâs and I secret hide-out, my mind started to second guess everything. What if he was using me? What if it was all a lie? What if, the first time I open up to someone, they fuck me over? It wouldnât be the first time.. Itâs been a long time since I got to truly open up to anyone about anything. The thought of crawling back into my shell cared me.
I creep into the small cave, quieter than a mouse. Dimitri sits at his desk, his body hunched over in concentration. I lean against the wall, observing him for a minute. Though, at this angle of him, he didnât look like a killer. He didnât look like the grounders we continue to be petrified of. He looked like a small boy withholding more stress than he can bare. Dimitri didnât sport his usual long wool, instead, he wore more simple attire. Similar to what I first saw him in. His hair had grown a little longer than before, the blonde toughs in a disarray. It was very sexy. A few seconds passed by before I realized I was staring too longer. I coughed, clearing my throat to grab his attention.
He grabs the nearest weapon towards him, pushing me against the wall. When Dimitri finally recognizes me, he puts the weapon away, his body relaxing. I could have sworn he flushed in embarrassment. I continue to lean against the cold wall, smirking up at him. âWhat are you working on?â Acknowledging the booklet that he was quite focused on prior to my entrance. The table was in a disarray, books and paper all over the table. He rushes over to it, putting his jacket on them to cover them up from my gaze before leaning against it, awkwardly. âNothing- itâs not- nope- nothing at all-â
I smirk at his adorableness. All of a sudden, I remember why I came here in the first place and my smile left almost immediately. There were many things I liked about Dimitri. One of which, was the fact that he could read me so well. He noticed my drastic mood change, wrapping his hands around my face. âWhat is bothering you, princessa?â I canât help but smile at the nickname before explaining warily. âA friend of mine, Octavia, is missing. I believe she was taken.â His eyes went wide in shock as I continued. âTell me you hadnât anything too do with this?â Dimitri shook his head, his golden blond hair tousling as he does. âNo, princessa. I had nothing to do with this-â He paused before continuing. âThere are other factions, clans. I different clan member must have taken you friend.â
I nod, understandingly. He wrapped his long calloused hands around my waist, pulling me into a tight hug. When he lets go of me, Dimitri takes his hand in my face. âWe will find your friend. Iâll see whom I can talk to, to help.â I place my hands over his, smiling. âThank you, Dimitri.â I didnât realize the closeness of our faces until now. He brought my face closer to his, our foreheads touching. As our lips were about a touch, when a voice shouted from outside the cave. â(Y/N)?â Finn. Oh shit. I pull away from Dimitri at lightning speed, pushing him behind me as I left the cave. Finn stood outside, eyeing me suspiciously. âYou okay, (Y/n)?â I nodded, bringing back my demeanor. âI looked in that cave, nothing. Just a bunch of dirt. How âbout you? Whatâd you find?â He looks back at me and then the cave with unease.
I scoff, rolling my eyes. âDonât trust me? Go on, then. I would love to see your face when you see that Iâm not lying.â Immediately, he stops being warily, shrugging at my previous question. âNothing so far. Letâs go find Bellamy and Jasper. They shouldnât be far.â I nod, reluctant to leave Dimitri after what was about to happen. So, in that moment, I take a risk. I go back and finish what we both started.
Dimitriâs P.O.V
I lean against the cold rocks, sighing in relief as (Y/n) distracts her friend. Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath in and out. Apart of me was sadden that I couldnât kiss her. Though I know I shouldnât be, I was beginning to crush on her. I let out a defeated frustrated sigh as I listened to their conversation. I could have sworn I heard (Y/n)âs steps as she left my place; our place. âDammit.â I mutter angrily. And then, in that moment, it was as if the wish in my head was granted. (Y/n) came swooping in from around the corner. Before I could ask her what she was doing back here, the risk she was taking, she grabbed the collar of my neck and slammed her moist lips into mine, needy.
Almost immediately, I kissed back with just as much passion, grabbing her waist to pull her closer into me. Our lips seemed to blend and mold together in perfect harmony. When she pulls away, Iâm breathless and flustered with swollen lips. As was she, and before I could say anything, she seemed to vanished into the night, leaving me there in the cold cave alone. âWow..â I caught myself grinning from ear to ear. Running my finger-tips against my lips, I press them together, my lips tasting like hers. After waiting for a little while, I head back to my village, a smile on my face. God, the things that woman did to me.
Your P.O.V
I follow Finn, a smile working its way up onto my face. Hiding it was become more and more difficult. âAre you okay? I could have sworn I saw you smile?â I scoff, hiding my feelings with a scowl. âMe? Smile? Finn, you have a better chance at finding a unicorn play checkers with a leprechaun while they eat four-leaf clovers than seeing me smile.â He laughs, shaking his head back and forth. Before I know it, we run directly into them. Bellamy eyes me up and down with suspicion before looking back at Finn. âCome on, we found a cave around the corner.â I nod respectfully to Jasper before walking into the cave after Bellamy.
He continued to look back at me, from my lips to my eyes. And, for some odd reason, I felt a sense of guilt wash over me. But why? I didnât like Bellamy, nor did he like me? I liked Dimitri. Holy shit! I like Dimitri! I shake my head, trying to focus. As we turned the corner of the cave, we saw Octavia cowered with a pipe in the corner. Immediately, Bellamy ran and embraced his sister. Jasper pushed past us to hug her too. Before I could move or do anything, I was thrown to the ground. I yelped in surprise, bringing my hands up to protect my face. My attacker threw Jasper and Bellamy to the floor as well, chocking the Blake boy. I push myself up and kick him, Finn punches his face, knocking him out. I hover over Bellamy and Octavia, protecting them, weapons at the ready.
Octavia cries out. âHe was protecting me! Donât hurt him!â Bellamy turns back to his sister, gawking. But before he could protest, the only sound that entered the room was a cry of pain. And it came from Finn. The attacker stabbed his side, crouching in pain, however, before I could do anything though, Jasper hit the back of his head with such force, I have no doubt in my mind that he was knocked out. I grab Finn, lifting him up on my own. Jasper reaches to remove the blade thatâs wedge in his side but Bellamy and I yell at him not to. We hurry back to the camp, heart in my throat. Though Finn was not on my good side right now, he was a good person. I couldnât let him die. The second we get back to the camp, I yell. âSomeone get Clarke! NOW!â This day couldnât have gone worse.Â
(I hope you liked it!)Â

Because of its white colour and benevolent disposition, a dove is a sign of harmony and pureness. However, the pigeon may also serve as hope. The dove, as a companion of Mother Ishtar, is represented in Assyrian culture. It symbolises the promise of redemption and hope.
Noah released a pigeon in the Biblical tale of the Great Flood to seek a sign of the downfall of the flood. The bird couldnât find it at first.

Just think about this storey, three of the most famous icons of hope (rainbows, doves and olive branches!) were birthplaced here.

Hangover Joeâs Celebrates Average Joes Everywhere for 6th Year â âNational Hangover Joeâs Dayâ March 18th, 2017 DENVER, COâ(Marketwired â Mar 17, 2017) â Hangover Joeâs Holding Corporation ( OTC PINK : HJOE ), developers of the nationâs leading morning after Hangover Recovery Shot and also our own exclusive line of premium gourmet beef brisket beef jerky, is pleased that with St. Patrickâs Day quickly approaching, we canât help but have luck on our minds. Hangover Joeâs always believes in creating its own luck, if for no other reason than we help you to dodge the impending post-Paddyâs Day hangover. That is what we do. We are the nationâs leading morning after hangover recovery shot. We provide the relief America needs to be Hangover Free. One of the first symbols of luck that comes to mind is the shamrock â no, the four-leaf clover â wait, whatâs the difference? The four-leaf clover got its reputation for a pretty straightforward reason. As you probably learned for yourself at some point, four-leaf clovers are really hard to find, and that rarity is why we consider them lucky. The 17th century politician and author John Melton even wrote, âIf a man walking in the fields finds any four-leaved grass, he shall in a small while after find some good thing.â In other words, the four-leaf clover is quite the multi-purpose charm for good fortune. Today, having the hangover recovery shot on the morning after St. Paddyâs Day, which is National Hangover Joeâs Day, is finding yourself in the luck of the Irish. Hangover Joeâs is celebrating everything #Hangover, the day after St. Patrickâs Day for the 6th year in a row. Those who once again this year threw caution to the wind and tipped a pint or two and were left feeling a little green while enjoying everything Irish can now join millions of Americans in a celebratory toast to a rapid hangover recovery on Saturday, March 18th, 2017 â The 6th annual National Hangover Joeâs Day! Legend has it that St. Patrick would use three-leaf clovers (which are pretty easy to find) to explain the Holy Trinity to those he converted, since heâd say that the leaves represented the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This is probably a myth, but that hasnât stopped St. Paddyâs Day and the shamrock from being inextricably linked. Well, there is another lucky charm for hangover recovery and that is Hangover Joeâs, the 2 oz. anti-hangover drink that makes mornings a much better thing after a night of consuming adult beverages. âWe have created a functional beverage that actually helps people feel better and fits their functional lifestyle!â said Shawn Adamson â Co-Founder and head of national sales for Hangover Joeâs. âWe are improving the quality of individualsâ lives and helping them be more productive. National Hangover Joeâs Day is now in its 6th year. Itâs become a tradition for our fans and the Company. We are celebrating that ordinary Joes everywhere that can triumph in the battle of the morning after with the legendary contents of a little yellow bottle â âThe Hangover Recovery Shot.â Hangover Relief is Always Just a Shot Away in the morning after drinking. You too will be relieved, recovered and re-energized after consuming the hangover recovery shot. There is a little Hangover Joeâs in everyone from time to time and more so on St. Paddyâs Day.â The Hangover Recovery Shot can be found coast to coast in convenience-stores, liquor stores, grocery stores, retail drug outlets, hardware stores, hotel gift stores & mini bars, tattoo shops, hair salons & spas, gyms, bars, nightclubs, casinos, and even on Lear rental jets, and womenâs boutiques. We even have Hangover Joeâs Smart Vending Machines that work as mini billboards and dispense recovery shots in high traffic bars & nightclubs. We have a large range of retailers across the country. Our brand is on the move both domestically & internationally. We are shipping containers to South Korea, Japan, and China and will be entering the Asian market in April with our partner in Asia, Cure Korea. We are also working with one of Europeâs largest beverage distributors and going through the procedures to launch all across Europe in the future. These are exciting times for Hangover Joeâs. We have dealers all over the USA and we are going to increase our dealer network over the next 12 months and ramp up our dealers network. The brand continues to gain market share, one dealer at a time and one retailer at a time and one consumer at a time. We have recently launched a brand of gourmet beef jerky. This is not your typical gas station jerky. It is all USDA beef brisket and we have developed our own curing and marinades and we use alcohol in many of our gourmet beef jerky marinades as it creates a great flavor and helps to break down the meat and make it very tender. This is not your fatherâs or grandfatherâs beef jerky â this is made with the best premium hand-picked beef brisket. We produce a mouthwatering craft gourmet beef jerky. Since we have launched the beef jerky sales have exploded both online and in our retail stores across the country. We are selling 3-1 in stores where we have placed our beef jerky against leading brands. âThe market is demanding a high quality product. We are leading the way in a gourmet fresh cut to order, beef brisket jerky that is really being embraced by millennials who are looking for high protein healthier choices and more gourmet in snacks,â said Mike Jaynes â Chairman and Co-founder of Hangover Joeâs. âWe cannot be happier with how sales of our beef jerky are going and how we are blowing away the competition in taste tests across the country! Our brand and flavors are outstanding. Theyâre truly excellent. Weâre having calls daily asking for it and our dealers are doing festivals around the country exposing the brand to thousands and they are putting it into stores. The brand is only going to grow and we are going to continue to introduce new and exciting great tasting flavors. Our beef jerky is going to take some significant market share over the next few years. Our jerky is known for being totally tender with unique distinct flavor profiles that are being called #Jerkylicious.â Matthew Veal, CEO of Hangover Joeâs added that, âNational Hangover Joeâs Day is for all the working stiffs out there that celebrate in the spirit of the Irish. Weâre going to be in New Orleans St Patrickâs Day in the street sampling the brand. Our dealers around the country will have stores stocked with The Hangover Recovery Shot. You can be Irish this year on Friday and be Hangover Free on Saturday, National Hangover Joeâs Day! We are building the brand the old-fashioned way, from the street up! The brand resonates with everyone from blue collar workers, to urban professionals to soccer moms, hipsters, people just love Hangover Joeâs. Also, for Millennials, Generation X and even a few Baby Boomers, all these generations have in common is there is a little bit of Hangover Joeâs in all of them. The brand is hip and breaks through the clutter, and yes itâs a little politically incorrect, hey itâs Hangover Joeâs, we like that! People have been drinking for years and that is not going to stop nor is our Company or our brand, we will only continue to grow in the USA and abroad. Hangover Recovery is a huge market and we are determined to own it.â People love sharing the brand with their friends and family on social media and the brand has a very strong social media following. We have been using these hashtags and ask for our fans to use them in social media #HangoverFree, #NoHangover when referring to the Hangover Recovery Shot. We have a lot of fans, shareholders, believers, consumers, retailers and dealers. We are working hard for all of them and we plan on at some point bringing the company back on to the stock market and trading. We have not forgotten you and are working hard to achieve success for all of us. We will have our day in the sun. We want all of our fans, consumers, dealers, retailers and shareholders to have a safe Hangover Free St. Paddyâs Day. In the end, once again this St. Patrickâs Day, Americans revelers will just shrug their shoulders, raise a pint, and shout âSlainte!â as they toast to good health. It just goes to show that even average Joes are Irish on March 17th. We love the average Joe at Hangover Joeâs! There is a good reason for Americans to stock up on âThe Hangover Recovery Shotâ for the inevitable morning after. This rejuvenating blend of essential vitamins and exotic herbs is available around the country. Look for it and ask for it by name. You too will be #HangoverFree with #NoHangover this St. Patrickâs Day! Join us in celebrating National Hangover Joeâs Day, Saturday, March 18th 2017 for the 6th year! Hangover Relief Itâs Just a Shot Away with Hangover Joeâs!
