Twilight- Switch of Daylight: Chapter Thirteen, Volturi

(Alice x Reader x Jasper)

[Twelve] [Thirteen] [One]

"He's going to make the Volturi change their minds." Alice tells us after a vision.

"It's almost noon now." Bella announces, checking her watch. Alice going as fast as she can in th Porsche.

"There's Volterra." Alice points up to a village. Now pushing the car even faster than before. Everyone in the village is wearing red. The car weaving through people. "Why are they all wearing red?" Bella questions.

"San Marcos Day festival. The perfect setting. Large crowds. The Volturi won't let him get far enough to reveal himself- he's counting on that." She explains to my sister who's freaking out.

"We only have five minutes."

Alice slams on the breaks, bringing us to a halt. The police wave her back and Bella jumps out. "Where's the square?" She asks. "Follow that lane-" My sister's already running. "He'll be under the clock tower!" Alice shouts after her.

As we watch Bella we then see a figure in a black coat, tracking her. He disappears and I go to open the door but Alice stops me. "[Name], they'll kill you." She says. "I really have nothing to live for anymore, Alice. I'll be killed either way. We both know it." I tell her, it was something no one wanted to bring up.

Why would they? I'm slowly turning into a hybrid, the most powerful being to exist. Something the Volturi can't let happen. Neither can the wolves. As much as I'm fighting it, I'm getting weaker.

"Don't say that, I can protect you." Her face morphs into a sad expression I don't think I've ever had to witness before. I take in a breath, checking where Bella's body was just at, my hand still touching the door handle. Then looking back at Alice.

"Does she make it?" I ask. "Yes." She whispers. "We need to get there before they get them." I say, she nods her head, I take my hand off the handle and sit back.

I notice her shoulders fall and she begins to drive the Porsche to park it somewhere. Once we get in a shaded area she puts her hood up, I take the stupid hat off and put on the hood of my long sleeve. I feel my body shudder, my knees almost giving out. Alice holds onto my body, helping me stay up.

"Let's go." I demand, she hums, her small body fitting underneath my arm. "I know a shortcut." She tells me, we go behind buildings and then finding alleys that lead to others so we don't have to bump into too many people. "[Name] you're getting weaker." She suddenly says, I didn't even notice how droopy I was becoming.

"I'm sorry." I straighten my poster. "You need to take some of my energy." She leans me against the wall and I let out a shakey breath, hitting my head against the brick. "No." I close my eyes.

"I'll take their energy when we get there." I try to walk, almost falling forward but she catches me once again. "Please, just enough to walk on your own." She pleads with me.

"Just enough," I repeat, focusing on what I was doing I take some of her energy and I'm able to let her go without stumbling. I glance at her and I see her eyes sunken in a little bit. "I took too much." My eyes widen.

"No- no you didn't, I can still run, let's go." She takes my hand and we begin to start running where we need to go.

We hear their voices and start getting closer, Alice lightly trips when we get toward them. We pull off our hoods.

"Come on, guys. It's a festival." We reach Edward and my sister, positioning ourselves in a protective stance in front of Bella. "We wouldn't want to make a scene." I continue.

"There won't be any scene. And we'll still win." I recognize him from when Jasper and Alice were telling me about them. His name is Felix.

"But not easily-" "Enough." Jane, a tiny woman with blonde hair cuts the conversation. We take a step back, knowing her ability. "Jane." Edward nods.

"Who is she?" I hear my sister ask Alice. "Just do as she says." Alice motions. Jane tosses Edward an overcoat, he easily slips it on. "Follow me." She orders, turning and heading up the alley.

I glare at them from behind, knowing I could easily take their energy and power but also knowing it wouldn't end good.

We follow them.

I feel the energy I once had falter, having to cover it up I bounce on my other knee a little bit. I know Edward noticed it though. He moves closer to me.

"Take mine." Is all he whispered. I glance at him, shaking my head. "Do it." He mumbles a little more sternly. He forcibly grabs my wrist and I close my eyes.

"Ok, ok." I smack him away, focusing on what I had to do again.

We get to more narrow alleys, the path ends at a wall of the brick similar to the other walls. Without breaking the pace of the walking we were doing Jane strides in forward, dropping down a hole in the street. A drain.

Alice follows, me going next. "It's alright, Alice and [Name] will catch you." I hear Edward tell Bella as we now wait at the bottom. We do exactly as said by him and then when he lands beside us he takes Bella, pulling her close to him.

Next we go into an elevator, the door clanging shut and the noise hurting my ears. I feel that warm feeling again and I tense up. I'm not even angry so I don't understand why it's happening.

The elevator opens to a nicely elegant space that has an old world look to it. We're greeted by a human receptionist. "Buon pomeriggio."

We head through the lobby, reaching double doors that open. The three ancients, Aro, Marcus and Caius sit in three seats there. Aro rises, greeting us and taking Edward's hand, shaking it.

"What a happy surprise! Bella is alive after all. Isn't that wonderful?" Aro grins, announcing it to everyone in the world. Caius has a sour expression laid upon his face. Marcus could care less.

Aro doesn't let go of Edward's hand. "Her blood appeals to you so much it makes me thirsty. How can you stand to be so close to her?" He questions Edward. "It's not without effort." He responds, making Aro laugh. "I can see that."

Bella looks at Edward confused so he explains, "One touch and Aro can see every thought I've ever had in my life."

"You're quite the telepath yourself, Edward. Though, you can't read Bella's thoughts. Fascinating." He releases Edward's hand and turns to Bella. "I would love to see if you are an exception to my gifts, as well."

He reaches for my sister's hand who is hesitant at first but she doesn't have a choice so he extends his hand. She finally takes it. Confusion sweeps over him.

"Interesting." He releases her hand and goes back to his chair. "I wonder if-" "No!" Edward shouts.

I look between everyone, observing everyone's emotions. Alice moves closer to me. She knows if he gets anything from us he's going to know what's going to happen to me. I've come to terms with it.

"Let's see if she's immune to all our powers, shall we Jane?" Aro ignores Edward. Jane turns to Bella but Edward springs in front of her. Jane focuses her gaze onto him which flings him across the room where he collapses. My eyes widen and I focus onto her. Taking her energy.

Alice goes to tell me to stop but it's too late. She's not able to use her ability anymore. "Jane, dear?" Aro asks her, smiling at me now. Jane's grin turned to anger.

"[Name], isn't it?" I back away from him. "Now, now." He laughs. I take deep breaths trying to calm down as I feel the warmth get hotter on my skin. I look over at Alice whose eyebrows are furrowed, not knowing what to do as Bella is helping Edward up.

Them just as worried about me. Bella and him don't know much but obviously now Edward does reading our minds.

"I've heard about you." He says, not reaching out for my hand just yet. "What about me?" I ask him, building a confidence. "You're with Alice, a prize sure enough... and Jasper, a good mix." His grin was starting to really freak me out now. "You're a recent turn, yes?"

"Nice observation." I glare at him, he giggles, nodding his head. "Don't get to hostile on me, you're warming up!" He looks back at the others. My chest begins to heave up and down rapidly. Alice was staring at me, never leaving. Edward was observing everyone.

And I hope he was listening to me because I was just praying for him to take care of my family now. "You know?" I tilt my head, trying to back up again.

"That you're in the midst of a transformation?" He smiles, "yes." He answers, I feel Alice's emotions fly off the handle, not knowing what to do. I look over at her. "It's okay." I whisper.

"You're going to kill me?" My eyes flicker from him to the ones behind him. "I could. You're in your most vulnerable stage of the transformation." He informs me, confusing me since I was told there's not much information about my kind.

"You're not the only hybrid to exist." He laughs. "Wolves are such-" He pauses. "Emotional beings."

"Are you going to kill me or not?" I fold my arms. "[Name] stop-" Bella pleads, tears were etched in her eyes, tempting to fall. "There's so many decisions to make today." He says to Caius and Marcus.

"It's remarkable! Bella confounds us all and her sister... turning into one of the most powerful beings to exist. What do we do with you two now?" He grins.

"You already know what you'll do, Aro." Marcus says, seemingly bored. "Bella knows too much; she's a liability. [Name] is a danger." Caius adds on. "That's true. Unless Edward intends to give her immortality." Aro talks about Bella first, looking at Edward.

"But that's not your intention, is it. Shame." Aro nods to Felix who moves toward Bella, I'm already held back by others. But before he can he take a few steps, Edward tackles him.

"Edward don't!" Bella screams, Alice leaps to help but more Volturi guards hold her back just like me. We both struggle to get out of their grip. And I know I can take their energy but there's only so much I can take.

Edward is fast, anticipating Felix's moves but Felix is stronger. Felix grabs Edward, throwing him in the ceiling smashing against the marble he drops down and immediately kicked. "Stop this! Please!" Bella begs to Aro who ignores her to lean forward and study Edward. I look at Jane who is itching to step him but Aro gestures her to step back.

Felix takes some hits but then lifts Edward overhead, cracking him and flinging him against a wall. Bella runs to Aro but the Volturi Guard flings her away. She hits hard against the wall.

Bella gets up and kneels in front of him. "Do it! Kill me! Just leave them alone! Leave my sister alone!" She yanks her collar back, exposing her neck to them. I feel my energy leave me and it's worse than before. The warmth beginning to burn even more.

The guards were the only thing holding me up at this point. "Enough!" Aro stops Felix, he immediately releases Edward who manages to look up. "Get away from her!" Edward moves toward but gets pinned by Janes powers causing him to writhe in agony.

"Edward, stop! I've already seen it." Alice says. "Alice stay out of it." Edward says through gritted teeth.

"Alice." I attempt to say but it's getting hard to even speak. "I know what to do." She says, Aro's intrigued, he gestures Jane to stop. She does as told. "Ah yes, the clairvoyant. I saw your gift in Edward's thoughts. What is it you've seen?" Aro questions her.

"Don't" Edward warns her.

"I'm the one who will change Bella. I'll also keep [Name] away from anyone who she could hurt. She's not a danger. I can see it." She tells him, he's surprised along with Bella.

"Please, be my guest." He gestures to her. "Not here. Their father is in law enforcement. If either one goes missing there will be questions." She tells him. "He is easily dealt with." Caius rolls his eyes.

"It will happen, Aro. See for yourself." Alice stands tall. I see Edward glance back at me, the guards are still holding me back as they think I'm a threat. A threat who can barely even stand. I see him smirk at my thoughts. I wink at him.

She thrusts her hand out to Aro who nods to the guards holding he rot release her. She gives him her hand and he closes his hand. I don't know what he saw but when he let go you could see he's in disbelief but also utterly delighted. He lets go of her.

"Mesmerizing! To see the things you've seen, that haven't even happened yet!" Aro gasps. Alice moves to Edward's side, helping him up then apologizing to him.

The guards let me go and I stumble to the floor. Not able to lift myself up anymore.

"Your gifts will make for an intriguing immortal. Go make your preparations." Aro tells my sister who then hurries to Edward's side, too.

I tiredly huff, trying to lift myself up. It's getting hotter. I feel sweat actually begin to start on my forehead.

"You're letting them leave?" Caius questions. I then feel multiple people lift me up, the coolness of their hands feel good contrasted with the heat erupting my body. "Dear Caius, the girl's disappearance will be conspicuous at best. And surely you see her potential." Aro argues with one of his partners.

"Let us be done with this. Heidi will arrive any moment." Marcus disinterested in what just confided.

Edward is fully recovered now, taking Bella's hand while also helping Alice with getting me out of here. Demetri leads us out of the hall.

As we make our way up the corridor, we see a group of two dozen tourists, led by a beautiful vampire. We all stop to let them pass. I watch Demetri give her a flirtatious smile. "Nice fishing, Heidi, save some for me." She smiles then gives Bella and I a curious look then continues away to the room. "This way, please. Stay together..."

As the group gets into the room we hear their horrid screams, Edward and Alice rush us out of the area.

"[Name], you can't fight this much longer." Carlisle tells me as I lay on their couch. "I don't-" I huff out in pain. "I don't have a choice." I argue with him.

I've been here for a few days after we were in Italy to save Edward. My dad thinks I'm at the hospital right now with a sickness. I get brought back to the house at night after he visits me. I thankfully got to pass out for two days. Meaning I missed a valuable conversation about Bella getting turned into a vampire. But Edward told me they figured it out to push it back a little further.

Now being in the house as the transformation only gets worse the more I fight it. "It's only going to get worse." He sits on the coffee table in front of me. It's like he's reading my thoughts. Didn't think I was in front of Edward.

I'm wearing a tank top and shorts with an ice pack on my forehead to attempt to cool the heat I feel. "It's either this or kill me already." I snap at him, gritting through my teeth with the pain.

Another episode of the heat getting to me. I start crying as it burns. "[Name] just let go." Jasper shows into my view, wiping my face. "No, no, I can't!" I cry out, holding myself in pain.

"You're hurting yourself." He replaces Carlisle from where he was sitting and grips onto my hand as I squeeze it. "It's okay." I squeeze my eyes shut.

"Why are you doing this?" He questions me. "I'll be a danger." I cry, the pain subsiding now.

"You won't Alice saw it, darling." He brings my hand closer to him, I watch him tiredly. "I haven't forgiven you guys yet... A part of me... I'm still hurt." I tell him. "What if my anger is worse and it's directed towards you guys? Either I die or you die." My breathing is starting to get frantic at the thought of them being killed by my own hands.

"We're a lot stronger than you think, [Name]." Emmett comes in with a smirk, Rosalie rolling her eyes at his words. "It's not going to happen." She lightly hits him.

"I'm not doing it." I say. "I'm going to continue to fight it." I attempt to sit up but my chest feels heavy and I fall backwards. Alice comes over with a bag of blood.

"Drink." She hands it to me. "It's human." I shake my head.

"Billy said it's one of the only things that will give you some sort of relief." She shakes it again, putting it closer to my face.

"No one was killed for it, it's Bella's she donated." Carlisle tells me and I look at the bag. "It feels wrong." I look away from it, fighting the urge to drink it.

"Stop being stubborn, please [Name]." Alice pleads with me, I stay quiet, looking at both Jasper and Alice's expressions. In an annoyed manner I grab the bag.

Opening it to drink it. Once I start I feel different. I furrow my eyebrows but continue. I feel myself actually being able to sit up. I drink the rest of it and throw the bag on the table beside Jasper. "How do you feel?" Carlisle asks.

"Amazing." I grin.

"We have a few more bags, we were told wolf blood could help too. Your friends from the Rez decided to help." Carlisle tells me, opening the fridge to show a few bags.

"It stinks but as long as you're okay." Rosalie half-heartedly jokes. I know she's serious but it brings some humor.

"They willingly went to the hospital with you there?" I ask, actually curious. "They knew it was to help you. That's all that mattered." Carlisle says, closing the fridge.

I see Alice and Jasper look at each other then at everyone else. I think they got the memo. "We're going to go hunt, we'll see you guys in a bit." Esme tells us three, gently pushing Emmett and Rosalie to start walking.

Once they're out of the house I look at the two in front of me. I sit up straight and move myself so I can look at them.

"We need to have a conversation about everything, [Name]." Alice takes one of my hands as Jasper has the other. "I know." I nod.

"You need to finish this transformation." Jasper starts, I know I'd be cut off if I even tried to disagree so I stay quiet.

"We understand your fears, but your pain is too much, soon your final transformation will be longer than it should be." Alice finishes. "How do you know that?" I fold my arms. I was told that we barely knew anything about this. How do they all of a sudden know so much.

"The Volturi dealt with it. Carlisle was there. There was a member just like you. They tried to fight it due to Aro's request. The transformation lasted days. Almost two weeks." Alice tells me with anguish lingering in her face. Her eyes flicking from my hand she held to my face.

"[Name] please get your anger with us out now. Let's talk so you feel better." Jasper says to me and I close my eyes.

"Why'd you ignore my calls?" I asked.

"It was petty. I saw you with Sam. For some reason I could see everything you did with him even though he was a wolf." Alice admits to me.

"I thought you were falling for him. It hurt to watch. Every move you made changed the out come of what was happening with Sam. If you thought of us, it was against Sam. If you were to infatuated with the moment that you were in I watched you fall in love with him." She explains everything to me, I melted a little in the couch from the thought of her watching that. Knowing she was in love with me and watching me with someone else.

"I would never get with Sam." I mutter.

"But you thought about it a few times. Rightfully as we left you the way we did. It just still hurt. I'm sorry we weren't there for you when you needed us." Alice sincerely says.

"I'm sorry we told you to leave your family too. It was a selfish request." Jasper adds in. "We want you to be okay, [Name]." He kisses my hand softly.

Cliffhanger? 🫣

Onto the next movie🤪

hihihiiii!!!!

can I request the main 4 with an fem s/o who is a actor in a famous tv show? I love ur work SM!!!

Team Stan with an s/o who is an actor in a TV show📺🎬🎬

Warnings: None

Gender: Female

💙 Stan Marsh 🌀

This boy probably never knew you were an actor of a TV show until he was watching Terrence and Phillip and an ad of the show you're acting for came up on the TV.

He was a little annoyed at first because this random TV show out of nowhere interrupted his session of watching Terrance and Phillip.

He was about to change the channel back to Terrence and Phillip until he saw an actress come up to the front of the stage and announce the next episodes they're going to be playing in.

Stan immediately without another second recognized you by your voice as soon as you started talking.

You're an actor of a TV show? Why didn't you tell him? How is this even possible?

When he met up with his friends at school, they told him about this famous TV show that is going around in south park and it's the one that had you as an actor in it.

And that's when Stan saw you organizing your locker for your next class, mostly everyone in the school didn't know you were the same actress that was on TV.

You had no idea how much Stan enjoys watching the show, he mostly only watches the episodes that features you in it.

Stan wonders if he should or should not confront you now that he knows you're an actor.

He will confront later, for now he just wants to enjoy your presence and hearing your voice in this TV show that he's now going to get addicted to watching to.💙💙💙💙💙💙

💚 Kyle Broflovski 🌲

When his mom heard this new TV show that has gotten really popular recently, she had to check out it before she lets her son watch it.

And let's pray that she doesn't find anything wrong with it or else she probably might complain and start a war with the state or country that owns this TV show you're performing for 😭😭😭😭

But anyways, just like Stan. Kyle never knew you were a famous actress for the TV show that has gotten popular.

That was until he saw everybody in school crowding you and talking about how they saw you in the TV show they watched.

Of course Kyle didn't believe it but went to go check it out for himself to see if everyone was lying.

He was actually surprised when he saw you acting as a character in one of the episodes, I guess everyone was telling the truth after all but why did you never tell him about this?

But he brushed it off since you probably weren't comfortable enough to tell him so he won't hold you accountable for that. But he is still curious.

Even if you didn't tell him you were an actress of the TV show, he didn't mind it either way.

This TV show probably might be even better then Terrance and Phillip 💚💚💚💚💚

❤️ Eric Cartman 🍔

Okay kewl.

You actually told him about it yourself and he responded with his normal 'kewl'. It may seem like Cartman doesn't care but he actually watched the TV show you're an actress for.

If the company that owns the TV show is holding an intermission standby where fans of the show can come in and meet the actresses. He's definitely going to go to it so he can see you.

You were actually surprised to see that Cartman came. You don't know how big of a fan he is of the TV show.

If his friends find out they'll probably tease him about it with Cartman also denying and saying that he thinks the TV show is shit and whatnot.

Even if you talk to Cartman about it, he'll still be in denial but you know your boyfriend's ways, he definitely likes it.❤️❤️❤️❤️🏵️

🧡 Kenny Mccormick 🐁

You indeed also told Kenny about it, but he probably won't be able to watch it since the television he has is really old and rusty and it doesn't always work.

But he is also amazed to see you actually being an actress of a show that has gotten popular in his school even his friends are also talking about it.

Kenny probably begs Cartman to let him use his TV so he can watch the episode that has recently aired that involves you in it.

Cartman of course has to be an ass about it so his mom gladly allowed Kenny to use the TV.

And when Kenny is watching the episodes, he barely even sleeps because he doesn't want to miss a single moment when you are on screen. The mf needs some sleep 😭😭

So you decided to step in and help Kenny get some sleep.🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

The Jimmy Fallon Show

Originally posted on my Wattpad @MayaBishop_is_myWife Scarlett Johansson x reader

Fluff

Scarlett's POV:

Tonight I'm going on the Jimmy Fallon with my co-stars show to promote my new movie. I'm really scared for this interview in particular as I've planned to announce something very big and my fans will probably go mental. For a while now there's been speculation around who I'm dating, if anyone and for some reason they always think it's a man. Now, that's what I'm announcing tonight, why it's not a man and, who it she really is.

Y/N POV:

Tonight is the night. The big night. I'm so scared how people are going to react, I mean it doesn't really matter what they think because me and Scar are happy together but, I can't help worrying sometimes. I'm currently in my dressing room behind the scenes at the Jimmy Fallon Show waiting to be called on. My palms are sweaty and my throat is dry. I need to calm down before I go on stage so I make my way over to the only person that can help.

I get to Scarlett's room and knock on the door.

Scarlett - "Who is it?"

Y/n - "It's me."

She opens the door to reveal my panicked face. Knowing immediately why I was like this, she pulled me in the room and trapped me in her embrace. As we were hugging she stroked my head, careful not to ruin all the work the hair and makeup team just did and whispers to me softly.

Scarlett - "Hey, it's gunna be fine. You know half of our fans are lesbians anyway so, I'm sure they won't mind and if it's the press your worried about then stop because they're all idiots and I couldn't care less what they say."

Her grip around my waist tightened as she spoke. I felt safe in her arms and I just kept reminding myself that it would be fine because even if someone does make a comment that me and Scar will always have each other and plus, the rest of the cast is there as well and they'll never let anything happen. We're all super protective over each other because after years of filming the Marvel films together we're basically family.

Our moment is rudely interrupted by a knock on the door.

Producer - "You're on in five!"

That didn't help the situation that I was in but, I'm an actress no one would know I was scared. I'll literally but my brave face on.

Time skip to half way through the show:

Scarlett's POV:

Jimmy - "So, Scarlett there have been some rumors going around that you are dating someone, do you have anything to say about this?"

Scarlett - "Well, uhm, I don't normally address rumors much but this one is necessary. I am with someone."

Jimmy - "Oooh I feel like a school girl, talking about who we're dating, so, does this mystery man have a name?"

Okay, here it goes. I think to myself.

Scarlett - "Well they mystery woman, is sitting right next to me."

The crowd instantly starts cheering and Jimmy had a smile plastered on his face. I felt someone grasp my hand tightly. I already know who it is but, I look anyway and see my gorgeous girlfriend to my left beaming at me. I was really happy it was out there now. I didn't need to hide my emotions anymore it felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest.

Y/N POV:

She did it. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, people actually seemed happy for us. As the interview went on Lizzie and Florence kept looking over to see if me and Scar were okay like the protective people they are and Scarlett and me kept stealing glances at each other constantly. I was really glad we got it out there so we don't have to treat our love like a dirty secret anymore. I can finally not have to carry around the burden of not being able to kiss my girlfriend in public in fear of someone seeing.

Time skip to after the interview:

We just finished the talk show and now me and Scarlett are walking back to her dressing room hand in hand, chatting away about anything and everything that comes to mind. As we enter the room she closes the door and turns to look at me. She holds my gaze as she comes forward and grabs my hips.

Scarlett - "I'm so happy we did that because now, I can do this.'

With that she pulled me in close and smashed our lips together in a passionate kiss. My arms were draped over her shoulders and her hand snaked around my waist protectively. Our bodies were flush against each other as our lips were still joined. Once oxygen became a problem we broke apart.

Y/n - "If coming out means we do that more often, we should totally com out more."

She giggled at my antics and pulled me in again. This woman is my one and only.

Vault Tec Legacy Challenge

3 months later, in total 4 months have gone by since Alexia and Ellis went into the Wasteland.

Saylor: There's someone trying to enter the Vault? Could it be....?

Alexia screaming on the other side of the door: I'm sweating, I'm hot, and I'm tired. I want a hot, clean shower and a warm meal. And my code isn't working!!

Saylor shouting back: I'm opening the door!

The Vault door opens and Alexia and Ellis walk in.

Saylor: I'm so happy you guys are alive and back! We were so worried about you guys.... we assumed the worst. So much time has passed.

Alexia: Are you moved into the Overseer Quarters?

Saylor: No, not yet. It didn't feel right for me to move in, when there was still a pos-

Alexia: Cool, I'm going to shower, brush my teeth for the first time in forever, and sleep in a bed where I don't have to look over my shoulder.

Saylor: Shouldn't we talk first?

Alexia: I don't want to.

Ellis: Saylor, Let her go. I'm not quite tired yet, plus we got your research and the part for the generator.

Alexia leaves Saylor and Ellis by the Vault Entrance.

Saylor gasps: You did?

Ellis: It was a pain in the ass and multiple hoops we had to jump through like we were some damn circus animals, but we got it all. Al wouldn't let us come back without getting everything we needed.

Saylor: That sounds like her. I can take the research off of you and I'll put it in the Med bay so we can't start looking over it.

Ellis: We met someone while we were out there. I think I know what Kenzie is turning into ..... and there's no stopping it.

Saylor: Oh?

Ellis awkwardly: I'm actually getting a bit tired, we can talk more in depth tomorrow. Al was right, a hot shower and a bed that hasn't had hundreds of people on it sounds really nice right now.

Saylor: Goodnight Ellis, It's really great to have the both of you back.

That night in the Overseer's Private Quarters

Alexia rocks back and forth on the bed: We made it back. We're safe. Nothing can hurt me in here.

Alexia cries into the bed: How do I even begin to explain what we've been through to the other Dwellers?

The next morning in the Dining Hall

Ben: Where did you go in the middle of the night last night? Is Ophelia having nightmares again?

Saylor: No, she actually slept through the night. I wasn't going to say anything until they emerged from their rooms but Ellis and Alexia are back. They looked quite beat up and they were absolutely fifthly. But, they're alive! And Alexia can be Overseer again.

Ben: Is that what you want? I thought you had been enjoying being Overseer?

Saylor: I only did it because I had to. "Enjoying it' wouldn't be the words I would use to describe the additional responsibilities and work I had to do.

Ben: That is true. I'm glad they aren't dead.

Saylor: You can say that again.

Ben: When do you think they'll be up?

Saylor: There's no telling how long they have been able to peacefully sleep over the past 5 months. I'm letting them rest as much as they can before I announce that they are here.

A couple hours later, Alexia enters the Dining Hall

Val: Mom! You're back! I missed you so much!

Alexia squeezes Val tightly and holds on to her: I missed you more sweet girl. You have gotten so big and beautiful!

Val: Thank you! Oh, mom, you've got scars? Are you alright?

Alexia blinks away tears before Val could notice: I'm much better now that I'm home with you girls. I promise I'm okay, we're all gonna be okay.

Clem: Mommy? MOMMY!!

Clem races over to Alexia and hugs her tightly.

Alexia: Oh, little bear. I missed you so. How tall are you now?

Clem: I'm well over 4 feet tall mom!

Alexia smiles: You're growing like a weed! What are we feeding you?

Clem: I eat whatever Mr. Ben makes. Dr. Saylor wouldn't let me eat the old box of Sugar Bombs. They looked so good!

Alexia: How old were they?

Clem: Like really old, older than you I think.

Alexia: Glad you didn't eat them then. Why don't you and Val come to my room tonight and we have a sleepover? I missed you girls a lot and would love to catch up with my little bears.

Clem: Val isn't a little bear, she's a meanie. I'm the little bear.

Alexia: Okay, well it still stands. Do you want to have a sleepover in my room?

Clem: YES! I'll tell Val and we'll have so much fun. Can we sneak snacks into your room? I know they usually aren't allowed but...

Alexia whispers: Yes, and I won't tell.

Alexia kisses Clem on the check and Clem runs off making a mental list of what all she's going to bring to Alexia's room for tonight. Alexia takes a deep breath. She thought this would be easy, sliding back into Vault life away from the horrors of the Wastelands. Alexia realized at some point that she would have to confront her other fear, confessing how she felt about Jameson and if she was even ready for that conversation.

[So sorry that this was a long episode, I feel like there was so many good things that needed to be included in the homecoming of our two courageous characters. ALMOST added Ellis and Kenzie's reunion but realized how LONG it was. I have loved this series so SO much. This story and series has been on my mind constantly and where I want to go with these characters, on top of the challenge. Another thing I wanted to add was that in the challenge is says that the Dwellers aren't supposed to leave the Vault, but for story telling purposes I wanted to do it anyway. Thank you all who have read thus far and are invested in these characters!] ╭┈◦•◦❥•◦ First | Previous |Next ╭┈◦•◦❥•◦ Updated Character List

What was your reaction to Alem's baby news? I'm super happy for them :)

My dear anon, I am so late in getting back to you that we're actually one baby announcement behind. I am very excited for Alem and Veronika, and for ZaQ and Zhadra. (And for Zhadra and Veronika, friends who can go through the whole first-time-mom marathon together.) May all offspring get to the finish line safely, with them and their mothers in maximal health.

Also backup dancer Diana has a boyfriend! I don't know if you follow backup dancer Diana on Instagram, but you should; she's very thoughtful. She's also not shy about admitting it when she's not happy, so it's good to see her when she is.

Also also the dudes did three concerts, the most recent one in Astana. ZaQ shaved off the beard he was thinking of growing earlier this year; Alem looks good, as usual; Bala has acquired a flattering undercut; Ace is still insisting on wearing the baggiest clothes imaginable. They didn't perform any new songs. Other than ZaQ's new album, and Ace and Azamat Demegen apparently having just done a whirlwind business trip to Korea, I don't know what they've got planned, or when they might be coming off the looking-awfully-threadbare hiatus. Maybe they'll make an announcement for their ninth anniversary on September 1st?

Bala's been the quietest as to how he's spent the hiatus, is my understanding. Alem and Ace acted in the Kazakh dubs for Inside Out 2; Alem released a solo song (it's sweet; I haven't looked up a lyrics translation yet); Ace is apparently taking guitar and English lessons; ZaQ and Zhadra got to go to Japan. In sum, it seems like the time off did them all good. I'm not sure declaring a hiatus was the wisest move, especially since it meant a lot of their staff scattered to the four winds -- I think their PR guy is now running his own business in Astana, and their backup dancers understandably went off to find work elsewhere, I think Diana's doing a musical -- but at least it seems like their collective 2024 has been much less stressful than 2022 and 2023 were.

So who knows when we're getting new music. (I haven't gone through ZaQ's album yet; I'm going to need some translator hand-holding.) I would imagine it could be a while, if fifty percent of the group is about to enter the particular hell of the fourth trimester. And there remains the possibility that Bala's going to make good on his rumored plan to go study in the States. But it's been nice being able to see them in the interim.

#ninety one #thanks anon #let's stay in touch

Okay so I've been thinking on Time's backstory for hyrules curse and I think I have a good concept so far!

Basically, Time goes through the events of ocarina of time and majoras mask and decides to come back to hyrule after processing the loss and alienation he feels. It takes a bit of time, but eventually Time is able to manage and understand his trauma a bit better and one of the most important things he learns is in the face of complete devastation, it's love that makes up for all the grief.

So Time decides to go back to hyrule but on the way he decides to go to kokori forest and has a final heart to heart with Saria, in which she finally convinces him to go back to Zelda, or Sheik, as he tells her. The forest will always love and accept him as one of their own, but his life extends far beyond the forest's edge and she could never forgive herself if she used Time's own grief to trap him here. Time leaves the forest, but this time it's more of an actual goodbye to Saria and the kokori as a whole, one that gives him the closure that he desperately needed.

This is where the plot for hyrules curse comes in! Time returns to hyrule and to Sheik, as well as Impa, and it's there that they have a big emotional conversation. Basically it amounts to the fact that they see each other as family and don't want to lose the other, and that they've both been avoiding a lot of stuff. Sheik blames himself for his own perceived actions, having dragged Time into everything when it was widely out of his control. As well as the fact that when he did bring them back to the past, it didn't seem to help anything, if anything Time seemed so much worst and ran off to the wilderness. Sheik blames himself heavily for this and doesn't quite believe or trust himself to be Time's family.

Time, with the events of majoras mask in the forefront of his mind, tells Sheik that he doesn't blame him and doesn't regret meeting him. Fate might've had a cruel hand in their meeting, but he doesn't regret meeting Sheik, in fact it was that companionship that made their trials just a bit easier. The first few threads of family between Sheik and Time begin here, starting with an understanding and forgiveness. Time decides to stay with Sheik in hyrule and Impa already knows of Time's true identity, he shares the same blood as Sheik, siblings all the way through the flesh, and holds the crown as the prince of hyrule by Sheik's side.

Hyrule has a prince and princess, which it doesn't take long for the king to discover his own long lost son.

Here's the issue, the aftermath of the hyrulean war, Ganondorf's treachery, and the loss of the queen has left the king a paranoid, untrusting man. A large part of his time on the throne has been during wartime and as such he just does not believe Impa when she tells him he has a son. It gets even worse as this just triggers the king's increasingly violent paranoia, eventually turning even on Sheik and that her damn visions will lead the kingdom to ruin. The king is so far gone that even though Sheik has already helped with Ganondorf, he does not believe Sheik and just thinks that he's been corrupted by that boy.

Eventually, tensions rise to such a critical point that Impa is forced to kill the king and help both Sheik and Time escape to Kakariko Village where they'll be protected by fellow sheikah. This conflict results in a civil war, one side is with the fallen king of hyrule and still holds onto the coattails of the hyrulean war. The other side is with the sheikah and the hidden prince and princess of hyrule, that they hold the rightful place of the kingdom and show actual allegiance and respect to the gerudo, zora, gorons, and sheikah.

The sheikah of this time have completely sworn off allegiance to the king after the hyrulean war and the king's subsequent assassination, instead choosing to follow Impa as their chief. Impa, as the head Sheikah chief, announces that their loyalty will lie solely on the princess and prince of hyrule and they are to be protected as such.

The conflict of this time surrounds hyrule as a whole in the depths of a civil war. One on side, the hylians within hyrules capital who sided with the king and the hyrulean war, and on the other, the sheikah, zora, gorons, and gerudo.

It must be noted though, the gerudo are actually the sheikah's closest allies and outright pledged their support of Time and Sheik over the current state of hyrule. There's plenty of stuff to be said of what happened exactly during the hyrulean war between the sheikah and gerudo, but! Here the gerudo actively work with the sheikah and are making attempts to sway the zora and gorons fully against hyrule castle.

#yeeeee this is a rly quick rundown of whats exactly going down in time's and sheik's period #basically a rly messy civil war happens after impa is forced to kill the king to protect time and sheik #the gerudo side with the sheikah after its made clear that neither sheik or time have any dreams of ruling over the gerudo #it does help that nabooru is still alive and it places most trust onto the whole alliance that it is actually a serious thing #and oh yeah!! sheik and time are raised as sheikah! sheik was already partly raised as sheikah but not completely #sheik was always on the run in the og timeline so he never rly had time to learn and grow up properly with the sheikah culture

Forced to Believe Chapter 7- The Shield's Girl

Chapter Summary: Morgan continues to manage The Shield and play her part in making sure they win their matches

Words: 2,000+

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'RAW'

The Shield are in the ring cutting another promo. "When we arrived to the WWE, we said we would bring justice to an unjust world and that's just what we've done." Ambrose said.

"Brick by brick by brick, we have torn down the wall of injustice that has been building up in this company for years. From the moment we began our crusade at Survivor Series until, well, right now, not a person that has stood in our way has been able to stop us. As a matter a fact, we changed the course of WWE we stopped Ryback for becoming WWE champion." Seth spoke.

"No one can stop the hounds of justice. Not the great one." Roman recalled.

"Not even a giant...Not a warrior..." Morgan added.

"And not even the champ." Ambrose said. "But those men, were mortal. Last week, we look at immortality right in the face, we forced injustice to the Undertaker." The crowd cheers for Taker. "Deadman, Phenom, call him whatever you want, but call him a victim. For too long The Undertaker has been justice for the WWE, generations bowed down to him, but you see, The Shield bows to no one."

"Rest in peace." Roman said the catchphrase as the titantron shows a promo about what The Shield did to The Undertaker last Friday.

"Thing is, justice doesn't care if you're undefeated at WrestleMania, doesn't care if you're the champion, justice doesn't care who you are. When your number gets called, justice strikes without warning. Without mercy." Ambrose continues.

"And John Cena, Ryback, despite The Shield's repeated lessons of justice-" Morgan began but got cut off.

'We're a three man band!'

3MB comes out as Morgan starts to look annoyed.

"Morgan doesn't look too happy about 3MB interrupting her." King said

"Shield, shut up." Heath spoke on the mic as the crowd cheered at his statement

"Whoa, wow." King said, taken aback.

"You think you got business with John Cena and Ryback? You got some unfinished business with 3MB tonight!" Heath continued.

"I'm sorry but did you just interrupt me?" Morgan asked in a stern voice.

"Yeah, we did. Problem?" Heath questioned, not bothered.

"I'm sorry but do you know who I am? I break faces and I don't mind breaking yours. I'm more dangerous than I was when I wasn't with The Shield. I kicked the Undertaker in the face! In the face! You can't touch this!" Morgan yelled. "...But you three are really killing my vibe so how bout you and your little boy band that isn't going anywhere, head back to the locker room before things...get a little Morganized..."

"Morganzied?" Cole asked as she earns a few cheers, while The Shield smirked at her comment.

"You see, back at TLC you did an injustice," she went on. "You messed with the Spanish announce team. Did you really think you were going to get away with it? I wanted some revenge of my own for that. I have been waiting to kick you three in the head and give you three a backfire. And...tonight may be my night."

"Are you done, sweetheart?" Heath asked

Morgan's jaw drops. "Excuse me?"

"I don't think 3MB listened to Morgan." Cole said with amusement.

"Bad move, they'll regret it later." JBL warned

"No one wants to hear you. Now if you excuse me, I'll be getting back to these three men in the ring. Not the Philly bombshell." Heath said, ignoring her.

Morgan scoffed and dropped the mic. She was about to get out of the ring but Rollins grabbed her by the waist, holding her back.

"Who the bloody hell do you think you are?" Drew asked. "We were mere seconds from showing Triple H exactly how we rock and roll. But no, you, The Shield decided to crash our party."

"But now, we crash your party and rock your face!" Jinder said as Rollins released Morgan once she calmed down.

"You got to be kidding me..." JBL says as Roman looked amused.

Heath kicks the steel steps and so does Drew and 3MB surround the ring.

"This might be interesting." King looked on.

"I admire their courage." JBL bluntly said, knowing what was about to happen.

All of a sudden, Morgan grabs Heath by the hair and throws him in the ring.

"Whoa!" King exclaimed as the crowd cheers when she gives him a quick backfire.

The rest of 3MB were about to attack her but The Shield gang up on them and start to take control. Then, Kane's theme comes on as The Shield look alert while Kane and Daniel Bryan walk out. When Team Hell No gets in the ring, The Shield quickly leave and watch as Team Hell No fight 3MB. Daniel starts kicking 3MB and then starts throwing them out of the ring with Kane.

"Does everybody hate 3MB?" JBL asked as Daniel started doing the yes chants. "Think The Shield are gonna come back?"

"Maybe not." King replied.

Morgan tweets twice, 'Got some revenge tonight. I thank Team Hell No for helping me out. Thanks for those kicks Daniel. #IOweYou'

'That will be the #LAST time 3MB will interrupt me. Wonder who will be on my list to get #Morganized'

'Later'

During The Shield's match against Team Hell No and Cena, Daniel throws Roman out the ring as the crowd goes wild. Daniel tries to crawl toward his team to make a tag as The Shield desperately tries to get Roman back in the ring.

"There's some panic in the team of The Shield." King said.

Kane gets tagged in and starts to take control of Ambrose. Rollins gets in the ring, only to get his throat grabbed and thrown out the ring by Kane.

"And the numbers are in the favor of Team Hell No and John Cena." Cole looked on. Kane throws Ambrose out the ring and gets out the ring. "Oh no."

Kane takes the top off the announce table as the crowd's cheers get louder.

"Hey! What are you doing!?" Morgan yelled, getting nervous.

"What is Kane doing here?" Cole called out

"He wants some payback for his brother." JBL noted.

"No, don't do it!" Morgan shouted as she ran toward Ambrose and Kane. The crowd was shocked by her outburst.

"Did she just defend Ambrose?!" King asked in disbelief.

"I think hell has frozen over!" JBL exclaimed.

"Look at Morgan, trying to beg for mercy." Cole said as she continued to beg Kane

"I don't think that's going to happen though."

"Don't do it, don't do it! Please! I'm sorry! We're sorry! We didn't mean to powerbomb your brother! I didn't mean to kick him in the face! We're sorry! Just don't hurt him! Please!" Morgan pleaded

"Is she trying to sweet talk Kane?" King asked.

Kane looks at her and then he grabs Ambrose into the chokeslam hold.

"No!" Morgan shouted

Rollins runs to hit Kane but Kane hits him to the floor and releases Ambrose. In the ring, Cena is talking to the ref and that gave time for Ambrose to do the DDT on him as Morgan grins.

"That's what I'm talking about!" she applauded.

Ambrose crawls back into the ring. The ref starts counting and Kane gets back up at 9.

"Wear him out!" Seth exclaimed as he watched Ambrose take control of Kane in the ring.

"I beat your brother and I'm gonna beat you!" Ambrose yelled at Kane.

Ambrose does the Undertaker's taunt and runs toward the ropes only to get caught in a chokeslam.

"Chokeslam!" Cole shouted. "Kane finds an opening."

Ambrose tags Reigns while Kane tags in Cena.

"Here comes Cena!" Cole went on as Cena started to take control.

Morgan gets on the apron. "Hey!" she yelled and then started trash talking to him.

Cena looks amused and runs toward her, pushing the ropes she was holding on. It makes her lose her balance and grip as she begins to fall back.

"Whoa!" she shrieked, mentally preparing for the pain of the ringside mat to hit her back.

But she ends up getting caught bridal style by Ambrose as she falls into his arms. He lets her down and releases her and Morgan slams her hands on the apron.

"Are you kidding me!?" She screamed as Cena and the crowd laughed

She tries to get back in the ring but Ambrose holds her from behind by wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Calm down, calm down," Ambrose murmured in her ear.

"Is it me or is Ambrose and Morgan really touchy." King pointed out in concern.

"Indeed they are, King." JBL replied, liking it.

"First he saves her, then she returns the favor, now this?"

"She got brainwashed by Ambrose. That's why she's acting like this." Cole declared.

"For crying out loud, she is not brainwashed. She believes in The Shield." JBL disagreed.

Ambrose releases her and gets back on the apron as the crowd starts chanting 'Harley Quinn'

"I am not Harley Quinn!" Morgan screamed at the crowd as Cole laughed. She turns to him, pointing at him who had his reading glasses on, "This is all your fault, four eyes!"

"What? I didn't do anything." Cole exclaimed as she went to continue watching the match.

As Morgan watches, she sees Cena preparing for his signature move. Cena looks at her and does the 'You Can't See Me' taunt, earning a glare from her. He then performs the five knuckle shuffle on Reigns. During that, Seth runs to get on the turnbuckle to deliver a cross body on Cena, only for Cena to pick him up easily.

"That is God-given strength." JBL looked on, impressed.

"Cena pulls through!" Cole exclaimed.

Cena prepares for the Attitude Adjustment but his leg gives out and Reigns spears him for the win.

"Yes!" Morgan yelled and ran in the ring to hug Reigns. Seth ran in too, joining the hug.

"And the winners of this match, The Shield!" Justin announced as Ambrose rolled into the ring to celebrate with his team

'Smackdown'

The titantron is darkened and the crowd can hear someone getting beat up. Ambrose picks up the camera as the crowd cheers.

"Doesn't it just break your heart when the champ becomes the chump?" Ambrose asked.

"The so called Phenom isn't so phenomenal," Seth added.

"We broke John Cena, we broke the Undertaker, and we're gonna break the deadman's little brother next." Reigns said with confidence.

"Kane, you are so misguided. You think justice is taking vengeance on your family? That's just your head messing with you, justice is when we put the raging monster down. And that's you." Ambrose continued.

"Justice is inescapable, you can do all the running and hiding you want but sooner or later, it's gonna catch up. Now Kane, we put your brother down." Seth said.

"And I kicked your brother straight in the face as he rested in peace." Morgan spoke up, reminiscing on how good it felt to do so.

"And it could of been a whole lot worse. You don't believe? You don't believe us? But, by the end of the night, you're gonna believe."

"You're gonna believe in The Shield" Roman said and dropped the camera as the camera showed Daniel Bryan hurt.

'In The Ring'

During Dean's match against Kane, Kane hits Ambrose off the top rope.

"Get up Dean! Get up!" Seth yelled.

Kane chokeslams Ambrose as The Shield start to get upset and worried. Morgan bangs on the mat.

"Come on Dean!" Reigns starts to throw a fit.

Kane was about to do the tombstone piledriver but Rollins gets on the apron and Kane releases Ambrose to kick Rollins in the face. Morgan goes to check on him after he hits his face off the announce table.

Ambrose clotheslines Kane out of the ring but gets his feet grabbed by him as he pulls him out and bounces his head off the announce table. Reigns tries to hit Kane but Kane throws him to the steel steps.

Morgan looks shocked at the chaos and starts to back up once Kane turns his attention to her.

"I didn't do anything, why are you looking at me?" she asked with her hands up in defense.

Later on, Ambrose rolls back in the ring and hits Kane's injured knee before taking the victory after hitting him with his finisher. Afterward, Rollins, Reigns and Ambrose hit Kane with the triple powerbomb.

"Pick em' up..." Morgan ordered as they picked Kane up for her. "I'm not sorry about what I've done to your brother. He deserved it. Just like you deserve this." she said before giving him a hard spinning kick to the face.

'Next week, Raw'

Morgan wears Black pants, black boots, a black tank top with fingerless black gloves and her hair is in a ponytail. She watches The Shield's match against The Usos and Kofi, managing them at ringside.

"Damn!" Morgan yelled in shock as she saw Seth kick one of the Usos off the apron after giving the other a scoopslam.

"Rollins with a cheap shot." Cole said.

Kofi looks upset but the ref tells him to stay on the apron. Later on, Ambrose gets tagged in and so does Kofi as he takes control of Ambrose. Later Kofi does a crossbody on him but Reigns breaks it up. An Uso and Roman fight outside the ring and then he clotheslines them outside the ring.

"Freaking clothesline!" JBL exclaimed. "Wow!"

Kofi was on the top rope and as Reigns distracts the ref Morgan quickly pushes Kofi off the top rope so Dean can do his finisher for the win.

Morgan shrugged. "Nothing personal..."

The Shield celebrate in the ring and have their fists out. "Believe In The Shield!" Roman yelled

"This is a dangerous, dangerous team boys." JBL announced. "This is their yard. They own it."

'Welp. #NothingPersonal WWEUsos TrueKofi #BelieveInTheShield' Morgan tweets.

'Smackdown'

During Dean's match with Daniel Bryan who has Kane at ringside, Daniel traps him into the No Lock.

"No! No!" Seth exclaimed.

The Shield start to panic. Seth Rollins tries to get in the ring but Kane and the ref try to stop him. Meanwhile, Roman Reigns breaks up the submission. Morgan looks relieved as Kane gets attacked by Rollins and Reigns.

"What the hell!?" She yells as Kofi runs in and attacks Ambrose.

The ref rings for the bell as Ambrose wins by DQ. The crowd cheers for Kofi.

"Kofi getting himself some!" Cole exclaims. Then Team Hell No and Kofi fight off The Shield and throw them out the ring. Morgan helps up Ambrose.

"Are you kidding me!? He was about to win!" She yells at Kofi. Kofi's theme comes on as The Shield escape and look mad.

'Unbelievable! #Injustice! TrueKofi had no right to interfere while #MyJoker was about to win!' Morgan tweets.

'Next week, Smackdown'

Ambrose wraps his arms around Morgan's waist, standing behind her, resting his chin on her shoulder as they watch Seth and Roman's match against the Usos.

"Ugh...they make me sick..." Cole gagged.

JBL laughed. "Not to me. I love these two."

"How can she let him touch her? After all those months of going against The Shield and slapping Ambrose. She hit him with all those chair shots, does she not remember that? He had to had done something JBL. It's like as the weeks are going by she is changing for the worst,"

"For the better, Cole. For the better. She has probably opened her eyes to see what a great man Ambrose is,"

When one of the Usos hits Rollins out the ring, Ambrose and Morgan release each other and look at the chaos. Reigns spears the other Uso to win the match.

Afterward, the hounds of justice start attacking the fallen Uso while Morgan watches in delight. Then Kofi comes to their rescue but The Shield throws him out the ring. They start to continue their attack with the fallen Uso but then Kofi comes back in with the chair and hits Ambrose as the three male Shield members get out the ring.

Morgan shrieks and ducks from Kofi's chair shot and quickly gets out of the ring. The Shield regroup as Kofi's theme comes on. The Philly diva shakes her head and glares at Kofi as he talks trash to The Shield.

"What you gonna do? Come on!" Kofi yelled

'Almost got #Whacked in the face by a chair. Not pretty.' Morgan tweets.

Grey Three Houses/Hopes P23: Torment of the Shadow Eagle and Light Lion

Background Music Announcement: The Ashen Demon Cover With Lyrics by The Muses’ Mire

Light Male Robin: Shadow Edelgard succeeds in containing Shadow Aegir's insurgency, and while she is concerned by the absence of the nefarious Shadow Thales, she prepares her army for the next step regardless. The time is nigh to crush the Light Kingdom and Grey Central Church's growing momentum and put an end to the war once and for all.

*At Grey Garreg Mach Monastery…*

Shadow Edelgard: I've gathered you here in Grey Garreg Mach because the time has come. We are returning to the front.

Shadow Caspar: Oh yeah, I've been waiting to hear that forever! Let's go wreck things!

Shadow Edelgard: For the next phase of our campaign, we'll be working with the Light Alliance's leader, Light Claude, to tighten our cordon around the Light Kingdom. Rather than try to advance on the western front, we'll join forces with the Light Alliance and press in from the east.

Shadow Hubert: This means we will be marching northeast from the monastery and infiltrating Galatea.

Shadow Dorothea: I hope we can finally end it this time. I don't think I can deal with doubling back again.

Shadow Linhardt: Agreed. This slog has slogged on long enough.

Shadow Edelgard: Worry not, friends. I'll not be blindsided twice— I promise you that. We won't rest until all of Grey Fódlan is united. We will fight tooth and nail for it—and we'll do so together.

*After Shadow Edelgard's briefing, Shadow Byleth and Grey Jeralt meet with Shadow Shez and Shadow Hubert.*

Grey Jeralt: So, we're finally dusting off our armor and going somewhere, huh? You must really want to end this war if you're letting the two of us loose in the Light Kingdom.

Shadow Hubert: Quite right, Captain Grey Jeralt. We will not accept anything less than the fall of the royal capital. You and your mercenaries will be marching with us. This is not a problem, I trust?

Grey Jeralt: Let's just say I have a history with someone at the capital and leave it at that. But if the time's come for me to sort that out, then so be it. In any case, we're ready to go. Right, kid?

Shadow Byleth: We'll earn our keep.

Shadow Shez: Gotta say, I'm excited to be fighting with you for a change.

Shadow Arval: …

*At Light Fhirdiad, Light Dimitri, Light Felix, Light Sylvain, and Light Seteth convene in the throne room.*

Light Felix: We made some headway on the western front once the Empire pulled its main force back.

Light Sylvain: What does it matter when their Minister of Military Affairs still holds Arianrhod? Even if we were in a position to keep throwing troops at those walls, we're never going to crack them.

Light Felix: But if we keep digging our heels in here, their main force will be on us again in no time.

Light Dimitri: It appears they have already dealt with the insurrection at Fort Merceus. If they don't come at us from the west, they'll soon waltz right in from the east.

*Grey Rhea enters, which makes Light Dimitri annoyed.*

Grey Rhea: Might I offer a suggestion, King Dimitri?

Light Dimitri: Of course, Lady Grey Rhea.

Grey Rhea: We should retake Light Garreg Mach. It is the only way to reverse our current fortunes. If I call upon the church's faithful, they will come running from every corner of Grey Fódlan to liberate the light monastery in the grey goddess's name. With Light Garreg Mach under our control, we will be able to keep the Imperial army in check. Additionally, it might convince some of the more fickle Light Alliance lords to reconsider their loyalties.

Light Dimitri: I mean no disrespect, Lady Grey Rhea, but this proposal hardly seems...

Grey Seteth: There is more. As you know, the bishop of the Grey Southern Church is currently seated at the monastery. If we remove him, it reminds the world anew that Archbishop Grey Rhea is the rightful head of the Church of Grey Seiros. I believe this will shake some of the more devout Shadow Adrestian lords from their Shadow Emperor's grip.

Knight of Grey Seiros: While their faith may waver now, Shadow Adrestia is still the cradle of the Church of Grey Seiros. There are yet many pious believers among their nobility. If we can pull them to our side, it may shift the war back in our favor.

Grey Rhea: We should strike while the iron is hot. I will get the word out at once.

Light Dimitri: Hold, Lady Grey Rhea. While I now concede that your plan to retake the Grey Monastery has some merit, I must ask that you alert no one.

Grey Rhea: And why not? I need only say the word, and an army of believers will flock to our cause.

Light Dimitri: Yes, and the moment the enemy shadow spies people flooding in from across hill and dale, they'll realize what we're planning and bolster their defenses.

Grey Seteth: You believe their defenses are mightier than the faith of the people? By the grey goddess, have our enemies truly become so powerful? In that case, what do you propose?

Light Dimitri: We entrust the eastern lines to Houses Light Charon and Light Galatea, then ride en masse toward Grey Arianrhod. The enemy will think we intend to assail the Silver Maiden. But instead, we break east.

Light Sylvain: East... Then we'll be attacking the grey monastery through the Grey Valley of Torment. I get your thinking now. If we attack from the west, Grey Arianrhod would be at our backs and the Shadow Empire could box us in.

Grey Rhea: Very well. I have no objections. My grey church members will assist in guiding your soldiers through Grey Ailell. The grey monastery is holy and precious to us—and by the name of the grey goddess, I swear it will be ours again!

Light Dimitri: Good. Then I'll ready the troops. Lady Grey Rhea? Grey Seteth? I place all of our futures in your hands.

*Back At Grey Garreg Mach Monastery, Shadow Shez Talks to Shadow Edelgard.*

Shadow Edelgard: It is not an exaggeration to say that we have dispatched nearly every obstacle in our path. Both within and beyond the Shadow Empire. All that is left is to vanquish the Grey Central Church and the Light Kingdom, who obstinately persist in their opposition to us.

Shadow Shez: I'm not so sure about that. We didn't completely wipe out those who shadow slither in the dark, right?

Shadow Edelgard: Yes, that is true. Even after we conclude our battle with the church... Our war with those who shadow slither in the dark may continue.

Shadow Shez Then Talks To Shadow Hubert

Shadow Hubert: We suspect Thales of being the leader of those who slither in the dark. I kept careful watch for him and Solon at Fort Merceus. But I saw neither hide nor hair of them. I am concerned as to what their ultimate goal might be. Do you truly not know anything?

Shadow Shez: I don't really know, maybe they're aiming for somewhere else? Like the Shadow Imperial capital or Grey Garreg Mach?

Shadow Hubert: What a surprise, you actually had a response. However, the Shadow capital is most certainly not their target. I preemptively laid a trap for them under the same assumption and came up with nothing.

Shadow Shez talks to Shadow Ferdinand.

Shadow Ferdinand: Yes, everything looks good here. Now, what should I do with that one message? Hm? Is something the matter? I do apologize, but I have not a moment to spare. Shadow Edelgard has ensured that I am quite busy! Hahaha!

Shadow Shez talks to Shadow Linhardt

Shadow Linhardt: Once again, everyone's convinced that the war will end soon. But I'm not so sure. They say bad things come in threes. That means more trouble is on the way.

Shadow Shez: Doesn't matter. We'll deal with anything that comes our way. We've handled any number of crises by now.

Shadow Linhardt: That's true. But don't forget that each one has been much worse than the last.

Shadow Shez talks to Shadow Caspar.

Shadow Caspar: My shadow brother was in charge of Fort Shadow Merceus. It doesn't matter that he was standing in for my shadow father. Guess that means he'll have to be held responsible somehow. Ugh, I just don't know what to do.

Shadow Shez: If your brother loses his right to the Shadow Bergliez title, would you become your shadow father's heir?

Shadow Caspar: No, that won't happen. I haven't had the necessary education on how to govern a shadow territory. But maybe...this could be our chance to make Shadow Edelgard's vision a reality. You know, separating shadow titles and shadow territories. It doesn't seem completely out of the question right now, does it?

Shadow Shez talks to Shadow Bernadetta.

Shadow Bernadetta: My shadow father's at Grey Garreg Mach, which means I might have to see him again. Though it sounds like he's shut himself away, so the chances of it are probably pretty low. It'll be OK...right?

Shadow Shez: Yeah, we're pretty far from the grey monastery now, so you shouldn't have to worry.

Shadow Bernadetta: Right? I thought so too!

Shadow Shez then talks to Shadow Dorothea.

Shadow Dorothea: Fighting a pompous noble was way easier than going against a former classmate. Though really, that shouldn't change the fact that they're all people with families and lives.

Shadow Shez: Well for me, it doesn't make a difference who I face on the battlefield.

Shadow Dorothea: Then honestly, I envy you. At least I know I can always count on you.

Shadow Shez talks to Shadow Petra.

Shadow Petra: I am having one memory of the previous Duke Shadow Aegir. But it is a bad one. When we were first coming to the shadow Imperial capital, he had insults for my shadow father. I became angry and attacked, knocking him off of his feet. I am having much to reflect on.

Shadow Shez then Talks to Shadow Monica.

Shadow Monica: Between Viscount Shadow Essar and Baron Shadow Gillingr... Many Shadow western lords showed sympathy towards the former Duke Shadow Aegir. And there may be more who secretly oppose Her Shadow Majesty's plan, even if they show outward support.

Shadow Shez: It's been nearly three years since Shadow Edelgard ascended the throne. That kind of opposition can't be allowed to linger. We need to stamp them out.

Shadow Monica: Oh my, I never thought I'd hear you say something like that. I feel like a proud shadow mother watching her shadow child blossom into a fine shadow adult.

Shadow Shez: …

*Shadow Shez talks to Light Lorenz.*

Light Lorenz: We have been subjected to an unnecessary amount of detours, but the time has finally come to settle things with the Light Kingdom. And with the Light Alliance coming to our aid as well, we will no doubt achieve victory. The issue is what happens after we win. I am concerned about the relationship between the Shadow Empire and the Light Alliance

Shadow Shez: That's a good point. It's hard to imagine Light Claude and Shadow Edelgard suddenly becoming best buds.

Light Lorenz: Precisely. If relations sour between the two of them, I will once again face a difficult decision.

Shadow Shez Talks To Light Claude.

Light Claude: The Truth is soon coming out.

Shadow Shez: What do you mean, Light Claude?

Light Claude: Nothing you need to worry about?

In The Background, Light Timmy and Light Male Robin talk.

Light Timmy: Light Claude almost let it slip.

Light Male Robin: It’s Okay to let it slip a little to Shadow Shez.

Shadow Byleth: What do you mean?

Shadow Scileth: Yeah I got to ask that as well.

Light Male Robin: You will need to face the one trying to kill Grey Sothis for Grey Nemesis who is Shadow Arval’s Creator.

Light Timmy: Shadow Arval?

Light Male Robin: Shadow Arval is the voice inside Shadow Shez like Grey Sothis is for you guys but she is a Shadow Argathan and so is Shadow Shez.

Shadow Byleth: Then Why isn’t he with those who shadow slither in the dark?

Light Lucina: *Appears* I did some digging into that and it turns out he doesn’t know his past like the original robin does in the games.

Shadow Byleth: How sad. Then Let’s Do Our Best To Help him when he comes.

Light Male Robin: That time is next mission when he attacks Grey Bileth.

Shadow Byleth: What? he is going to attack my sister?

Light Male Robin: Yes but because Shadow Arval possesses him thanks to Shadow Epimenides becoming One With Shadow Arval but Shadow Arval regrets it still.

Shadow Byleth: You want Us three and My Sister to Jump Into The Portal Shadow Epimenides Spawns is what I think he is going to do?

Light Male Robin: Ah you predicted right on the spot. Also Yes, Please do. I’ll go tell Grey Bileth That.

Light Male Robin and Light Lucina leave to talk to Grey Bileth.

Shadow Byleth: Let’s Hope My Sister survives.

Shadow Scileth: Us three are supposed to talk to Shadow Shez. Don’t mention this conversation. Got it?

Shadow Byleth and Light Timmy: Got it.

Shadow Shez Then Talks to Light Hilda.

Light Hilda: I heard your conversation with Light Lorenz. I am also worried Light Claude and Shadow Edelgard won’t get along in the end. But I am also worried that they will get along too much.

Shadow Shez: Are you jealous of Shadow Edelgard? I suggest you tell me honestly and I tell you something I know honestly.

Light Hilda: Deal. The Truth Is Yes because I am in love with Light Claude. That is why I want My Brother to like him.

Shadow Shez: Then I got both honest knowledge and some advice. The Honest Knowledge is Shadow Edelgard and Shadow Byleth really like each other as lovers. The Advice is bring Light Holst and Light Claude in a room together with you and tell them your honest feelings for Light Claude.

Light Hilda: What? Shadow Edelgard and Shadow Byleth a couple? Then I take your advice after we settle things with Light Dimitri here.

Shadow Shez Then Talks to Light Raphael.

Light Rapheal: If we're fighting the Kingdom, then I might get to face Light Dimitri, right? I've heard he's ridiculously strong. I wonder which of us would come out on top.

Shadow Shez: Light Dimitri's probably stronger. They say his strength is inhuman, like some kinda monster.

Light Rapheal: Huh... I wonder what his training regimen is. Maybe I'll ask him once the war's over.

*Shadow Shez Then Talks to Light Ignatz.*

Light Ignatz: Lately I've felt off for some reason. Like I'm not myself. I used to be a timid person who'd get so nervous before battles he couldn't sleep. But now I feel strangely calm, even though we're facing a major fight.

Shadow Shez: that just shows how much you've grown. You've been doing a great job.

Light Ignatz: Hah, you're going to make me blush. I'm not so sure about all that, but I appreciate you saying so.

*Shadow Shez then talks to Grey Lysithea.*

Grey Lysithea: As maddening as it is, we have no way to fight those shadow who slither in the dark so long as they remain in the shadows. Which means all we can do is try our best to put a halt to their ambitions.

Shadow Shez: If their aim is to throw Grey Fódlan into chaos, then the best way to stop that would be to unify Grey Fódlan, right?

Grey Lysithea: Yes, and also to reform our systems of power so that peace is sustainable. That's the only way to ensure they won't meddle with us again, and that the same tragedies aren't repeated.

*Shadow Shez then talks to Light Marianne.*

Light Marianne: I received a letter from my adoptive father. He said that I've done this long enough and should come home now. It's a little late for that, though. There's no way I could abandon everyone after we've come this far. I wouldn't be of any use back home anyway. I have no idea what he's thinking.

Shadow Shez: Maybe he's just worried about you. He's still your light father, even if you're not blood-related.

Light Marianne: Do you really think so? But even if that's true, I have no intention of leaving.

*Shadow Shez then talks to Light Leonie.*

Light Leonie: The Brother Of The Ashen Demon is having a pretty in-depth conversation with SHadow Scileth and Light Timmy over there. I'm a little put out he didn't include me, but I'm not gonna sulk about it. It's not my place to butt in on family discussions, even if Grey Jeralt considers me as his first and greatest apprentice.

*Shadow Shez then talks to Grey Yuri.*

Grey Yuri: I wonder if the Kingdom would abandon the Church of Seiros if we dealt a big enough blow to the Central Church. I doubt the king and lords in Faerghus are so hardheaded that they'd keep fighting a losing battle. I have friends and family in the Kingdom, so I'd like to avoid stoking the flames of war any higher.

*Shadow Shez then talks to Grey Balthus.*

Grey Balthus: How you been holding up? Nothing but some shady battles lately, huh? I've had a hankerin' to really let someone have it. And it looks like I'll be finally getting my wish.

Shadow Shez: Yeah, you're right. We've just been cleaning up other people's messes rather than actually fighting.

Grey Balthus: See, you get it. I need an opponent I can really unload on.

*Shadow Shez then sees Grey Constance And Grey Hapi Arguing.*

Grey Constance: Grey Hapi, it is unnecessary for you to shoulder this burden. My dream is my own responsibility.

Grey Hapi: It's not a burden. I don't really have anything I'm aiming for myself, so I figure I might as well fight for what you want.

Grey Constance: No, I will not allow it! Haven't you always spoken about wanting to find your own goal in life?

Grey Hapi: Yeah, which is exactly why I decided to help you. I dunno how much I can really do, though.

Shadow Shez: Helping others achieve their dreams is an admirable goal in its own right. Especially since you two are so close.

Grey Hapi: Yeah! See, Grey Coco?

*Shadow Shez then talks to Light Manuela.*

Light Manuela: It looks like a lot of the Knights of Grey Seiros are going to join the battle. But Lady Grey Rhea wouldn't possibly appear on the front lines herself...right?

Shadow Shez: She very well could. It would really boost the Grey knights' spirits.

Light Manuela: Yes, I suppose that's true. My goodness, this battle becomes more daunting by the second.

*Shadow Shez then talks to Shadow Jertiza.*

Shadow Jeritza: We failed to wipe out those Light maggots at Fort Shadow Merceus. A pointless battle. I hope the next will satisfy me.

Shadow Shez: There are plenty of strong fighters in the Grey knights and the Light Kingdom. You'll have a good time for sure.

Shadow Jeritza: Let us hope so.

*Shadow Shez then sees Shadow Byleth, Shadow Scileth, and Light Timmy talking.*

Shadow Scileth: So that's why Grey Jeralt quit the knights?

Shadow Byleth: Yeah. And also why He's trying to avoid Lady Grey Rhea as much as possible... Hm?

Shadow Shez: Sorry, am I interrupting?

Light Timmy: Nah, don't worry about it. It wasn't important. Anyway... You feel like you're ready? This is gonna be our toughest battle yet.

Shadow Byleth: We'll show them what Grey Jeralt's Mercenaries are made of.

*Shadow Shez Walks away to see Grey Jeralt.*

Grey Jeralt: They were talking about Why I quit the Knights?

Shadow Shez: Do you mind telling me? I want to know more about The Ashen Demon and her family and why they are mercenaries.

Grey Jeralt: When I was a knight, I fell in love with this beautiful woman who is Shadow Byleth and Grey Bileth's Mother. She turned out to be a homunculus who was supposed to host the resurrected Goddess. When she failed to do so, she was killed. This was why I left the Knights. Grey Bileth's Was like her Shadow Mother and would have been picked to be part of the way to bring back The Resurrected Goddess and turned out she couldn't do it because of Shadow Edelgard's rebellion and then Shadow Byleth Sided Shadow Edelgard for you know the reason and Shadow Bileth sided with Grey Rhea and The Light Kingdom but recently she hasn't been trying to take the lives of her enemies on our side and the alliance's side. It's almost as if she and those 3 know something we don't.

Shadow Shez: So You think your children are hiding something from you? Tell me if Grey Bileth was ever attacked with death in mind, would you fight or would you have her brother fight?

Grey Jeralt: Her brother because I think they are hiding something from me.

Shadow Shez: Interesting Thanks For telling me.

*Shadow Shez then talks to Light Alois.*

Light Alois: Hmm... So we're finally facing off against the grey church. I thought I'd already prepared myself for this when I decided to join Captain Grey Jeralt, but... I admit I'm a little hesitant about fighting old comrades.

*The Major Players Then Decide to discuss The Enemy's Aim.*

Light Claude: Long story short, the Light Kingdom is preparing to ride west with a huge army. It looks like they're gonna throw everything they've got at Grey Arianrhod.

Shadow Hubert: Yes, we have received similar reports.

Light Claude: It's a pretty strange thing to do. I don't trust it.

Shadow Hubert: Then you believe it to be a feint? Interesting. Well, if true, there are only so many places they could go. They cannot ignore our troops and attempt to take Grey Derdriu. That would be folly. So the only other place I can imagine they would be after is Grey Garreg Mach.

Light Claude: That's what I was thinking. So what's our play?

Light Edelgard: We can't risk losing the grey monastery. We'll have to send more troops to defend it. But at the same time, we can't unclench the fist we are trying to bring down on the Light Kingdom. Our only choice is to mobilize the full resources of our regions.

Light Claude: Spoken like a woman with might to spare! I'm afraid we in the Light Alliance are already at our limits. But hear me out for a second... If the Light Kingdom really intends to attack Grey Garreg Mach, they won't approach from the west. That would put them smack between your forces in Arianrhod and the monastery. It'd be suicide. That leaves them with only one option.

Shadow Edelgard: You're saying they'll take the northern approach through Grey Ailell.

Light Claude: Yep. The Grey Valley of Torment—which just so happens to be the route we were planning to use ourselves. The Church of Grey Seiros will likely mobilize every knight they've got—and that is a very big army.

Shadow Hubert: Supposing you are correct. What do you suggest we do in response? Should we change our marching route to avoid clashing with them?

Light Claude: Nope! In fact, I vote we do the opposite. The Kingdom will catch on no matter how we try to deploy our troops, so I say let's meet them right there in Grey Ailell.

Shadow Hubert: Interesting. But the valley path is treacherous and difficult to navigate, which will blunt the impact of our superior numbers. Why would we play into the enemy's hands like that?

Light Claude: Because sometimes trying to claim every advantage can be a double-edged sword. Leveling the playing field can often be the key to bringing an opponent down, especially if you know you can handle 'em. Besides, what better way to keep casualties to a minimum than by finishing them off in one battle?

Shadow Edelgard: You know how to convince me. Very well. I can get behind this plan.

Shadow Hubert: Hm. Is there anything you would like to add, Light Hilda? You appear to be deep in thought.

Light Hilda: Huh? Who, me? Nah, I'm good. I'm just standing in because Light Claude asked me to. If it brings the war to an end quicker, I'm all for it. *Thinks* I got to take Shadow Shez’s Advice but when?

*Before the Final Battle, at Imperial Army Camp in Ailell.*

Shadow Edelgard: We will reach Ailell soon. The Light Kingdom and Grey Church approach from the west, and our friends in the Alliance from the east. We know their movements, so we need to assume they also know ours. This final battle will be intense—and bloody. But no matter what happens, we must emerge victorious.

Shadow Monica: At the very least, we have numbers on our side! Though, the Light Kingdom has all of those Heroes' Relics. That can't be good for us. We must keep our eyes open, and we must stay on the same page. We can't have anyone rushing ahead to fashion themselves a hero.

Shadow Caspar: I'd say things are really heating up, but that's just the ground literally burning.

Shadow Linhardt: It's sweltering... Whose idea was it to wage a battle in this place again?

Shadow Petra: I will take heat over cold every day—cold has its way of slowing you down.

Shadow Bernadetta: I'm fine with hot or cold, so long as it's in the comfort of my own room with the door locked.

Shadow Ferdinand: Do the words "final," "bloody," or "battle" not make you even the slightest bit nervous? Take this seriously! Show your pride as members of an army which serves the greatest Shadow Empire the world has ever known!

Shadow Dorothea: No need to get everyone worked up, Ferdie. When you dislike war as much as I do, you start to appreciate the lighter moments.

Shadow Hubert: Heh. I am inclined to agree. Now, what do you say we show these adherents to the status quo a taste of true power?

Shadow Shez: They don't stand a chance.

Shadow Edelgard: To arms, then! Today we claim our victory for the good of all!

*A flyover of the lava flows of Grey Ailell, then cuts to a procession of Shadow Imperial armored and infantry soldiers marching in formation, with Shadow Shez, Shadow Edelgard, Shadow Hubert, and Shadow Monica at the center.*

Shadow Hubert: The Shadow Empire, the Light Alliance, the Light Kingdom, even the forces of the grey church... To think we would all meet in such a cramped locale.

Shadow Monica: Hold on. Does anyone actually see the Knights of Seiros amidst all this? I wonder if they're not even here to begin with.

*On the north side of Ailell, a formation of Light Kingdom cavalry readies for battle, with Light Dimitri and Light Dedue at the lead.*

Light Dimitri: We strike at the Shadow Imperial army today. Do not let the Light Alliance distract you.

Light Dedue: Yes... As you command.

*On the south side, Light Claude looks down from a mountaintop.*

Light Claude: The party's already starting, huh? It's too bad we couldn't throw it for something a little more civilized.

*Light Hilda looks up at Light Claude while Light Alliance archers and snipers ready their bows*

Light Hilda: Would it kill you to be serious for once, Claude? *Thinks* I an starting to learn why Light Holst doesn’t take him seriously, but that is part of his charm.

Light Holst: *Thinks* She says That but she still has a loving look toward him. Wait a minute… Could my sister be in love with Light Claude? I think it is perfect for her to find a noble to love. To Think Light Claude is who she chose to love. She must think I disapprove.

Shadow Shez: *Heards Light Holst’s Thoughts and prays to whatever the true gods are that Light Holst can reveal to Light Hilda and Light Claude that he approves of their relationship.*

Light Male Robin: If that is what you want, Shadow Shez. I will help. *Light Male Robin sends a certain message to Light Holst through a wind gust writing something.

Light Holst: *Sees The Message On The Ground and reads it* “Prove that you approve of Light Claude and Light Hilda’s Relationship by protecting Light Claude in this battle. From The True Gods Of Grey Fodlan.” I’ll do that. *Thinks* Thanks to whoever sent a prayer to help me. *Support points increased between Light Holst and Shadow Shez.*

*One of the church's falcon knights flies overhead, with Light Seteth trailing behind her on his wyvern. Light Flayn runs up to him after he lands next to her.*

Light Seteth: For the last time, Light Flayn, I am against this. It is not too late to retreat.

Light Flayn: And for the last time, I intend to fight. Besides...it would seem the battle is about to begin.

*Back at Shadow Edelgard's army.*

Shadow Shez: Well then. Just give the command, Shadow Edelgard.

Shadow Edelgard: Good. Our very hopes depends on you.

*Shadow Edelgard steps forward to address her soldiers, going to Light Dimitri, then Light Claude, and then to Light Seteth and Light Flayn.*

Shadow Edelgard: Brave warriors of Shadow Adrestia! The time has come to demonstrate the Shadow Empire's valor! To prove our supremacy! Any who dare stand in our way must be cut down. *She raises Shadow Labraunda in the air.* Now...as one, attack!

*The Shadow Imperial army charges into battle.*

Shadow Edelgard: I'll be counting on the Light Alliance's wisdom and strength this day, Light Claude.

Light Claude: Don't worry! Our brilliant teamwork will send them scattering.

Shadow Edelgard: Shore up our defenses, then advance on the enemy's forward position.

Shadow Hubert: So far as we know, the enemy's objective is to breach our defensive line and pass through the valley. We must not let that happen.

Light Kingdom Soldier: Riders, charge! Tear their defenses apart!

The Light Kingdom deploys two Light Holy Knights and a Light Great Knight, who march toward the allied defense point.

Shadow Linhardt: I've heard troubling tales about Faerghus' cavalry. We'll be in deep trouble if we don't take them out soon.

*Light Felix appears after seizing one of the vanguard's strongholds.*

Light Felix: My turn. I'll carve my way right through them.

Shadow Caspar: Not on my watch, pal!

*When Someone steps on lava…*

Shadow Ferdinand: Watch the ground! Even a single wrong step will cause undue pain!

*After seizing two of the vanguard's strongholds, some Light Mortal Savants appear to the east and march toward Light Hilda at the Grey Lava Cave Interior.*

Light Mortal Savant: Hit their right flank! That's where the Light Alliance army is weakest!

Light Hilda: Ugh! They're gonna come all the way over here? No fair!

Shadow Edelgard: We can't let the enemy create holes in our defenses. We must head over and assist!

Light Claude: Our wyvern company stands at the ready! Deploy them if you think Light Hilda is in danger.

*Light Hilda Gets In Danger by the Mortal Savants…*

Shadow Edelgard: Send the Alliance's wyvern company to cover our right wing.

*After seizing the vanguard's strongholds…*

Shadow Edelgard: We've gained the early advantage. Well fought, one and all!

Light Hilda: Thanks for coming for me. That could've really gone either way there.

Shadow Monica: We're short-handed enough as it is, Light Hilda. We both need to be more careful.

*When Shadow Caspar encounters Light Felix…*

Light Felix: All right. You'll do.

When Light Felix's HP reach <= 50%...

Light Felix: I'm still on my feet, and I can still hold a sword...which means I can keep fighting.

*When Light Felix is defeated…*

Light Felix: Ha! You think a few nicks and scratches will send me packing?

Light Sylvain: Stand down, Light Felix!

*Light Sylvain takes Light Felix's place as Light Felix retreats.*

Light Sylvain: *to Light Felix* It's a wonder you can still stand. Now would you please let us handle the rest?

Light Felix: You better come back alive, Light Sylvain—or else! (retreats)

Sylvain: I hope you're watching, Light Ingrid—today is the day I see you return to glory!

*When Shadow Shez encounters Light Sylvain…*

Light Sylvain: I hope you're ready to part with your head, because I mean to lay it at my friend's feet.

Shadow Shez: I don’t Think Light Ingrid would like that.

Light Sylvain: What would you know about that, Shadow Mercenary?

*When Light Sylvain's HP reach <= 50%*

Light Sylvain: This is nothing compared to the pain she felt!

Shadow Shez: Light Ingrid retreated because she believed this could end another way. I convinced her.

Light Sylvain: What? Why did she listen to her?

*When Light Sylvain is defeated…*

Shadow Shez: Because Your Majesty said to listen if I tried to convince but not join my side, according to Light Ingrid.

Light Sylvain: Is this true, Your Majesty?

Light Dimitri: Yes, just trust me okay?

Light Sylvain: Then May fortune favor you in battle.

Light Dimitri: What am I supposed to do now?

Shadow Edelgard: If we keep this up, the battle may be over before it can even begin.

Shadow Dorothea: It's unnerving how well we're doing. I hope that means we're headed for a quick victory.

*Grey Flayn appears when a Enemy unit enters the Lava-Covered Path, casting Resonant White Magic to heal some enemy soldiers.*

Grey Flayn: *to her soldiers* I will heal your wounds. Please, be careful out there.

Shadow Hubert: What is this, the second coming of Saint Grey Cethleann? Strike her down and put an end to it already!

*The camera pans over to a boulder blocking Grey Flayn's hiding spot.*

Shadow Monica: Say, check out that boulder. I wonder if we can use it to block the lava and reach the other side.

*After using the rock to stop the lava*

Shadow Ferdinand: Our way is clear! Onward!

*When Shadow Ferdinand approaches Grey Flayn…*

Grey Flayn: Why must we hurt each other like this? You are all brothers and sisters!

*When Grey Flayn's HP reach <= 50%...*

Grey Flayn: I cannot take much more, yet the others will be in grave danger if I flee...

*When Grey Flayn is defeated…*

Grey Seteth: Grey Flayn, no more! Get to safety!

Grey Flayn: Very well, Brother—but you must swear not to put yourself in unnecessary danger!

*After seizing one of the rear guard's strongholds, some Light Kingdom Gremories appear and attack the defense point with magic.*

Light Kingdom Soldier: Let's light 'em up!

Shadow Monica: They're attacking our defensive line from afar! We have to stop them!

*When a unit approaches the Crater, Shadow Monica spots another rock that can be used to stem the lava flow.*

Shadow Monica: We can probably secure a crossing if we find a way to stop the lava.

*After using the rock to stop the lava near the Crater…*

Shadow Monica: We should be able to take our troops across now that the ground has cooled.

(After Shadow Monica supported by Shadow Shez stop the Light Kingdom Gremories' magic attack)

Shadow Dorothea: Looks like that particular storm has passed.

**After seizing two of the rear guard's strongholds…*

Light Kingdom Mortal Savant: Use the boulder to dam the lava and create a path!

*...a Light Kingdom Mortal Savant blocks the lava flow to the southeast.*

Light Kingdom Soldier: We have a direct path to the enemy! Attack!

Light Claude: That's one place to build a road. I'll try to stop them, but I can't do it alone.

Light Holst: I will be joining you.

*After seizing three of the rear guard's strongholds…*

Light Dedue: You will go no further.

*After seizing all of the rear guard's strongholds…*

Shadow Bernadetta: I'm in way over my head, but I'm not letting up until it's over!

*When Shadow Ferdinand encounters Light Dedue…*

Light Dedue: In the name of His Majesty, you will perish here.

*After Light Claude, Light Holst, Shadow Shez, and Shadow Monica seize the Lava Cave Depths…*

Light Claude: That should keep them from attacking the eastern front.

Light Holst: Good Thinking, Light Claude.

*When Light Dedue is defeated…*

Light Dedue: Ngh... I'm not finished yet!

Light Dimitri: Fall back, Light Dedue! Please! I cannot afford to lose you!

*Light Dimitri appears and makes an unstoppable charge toward the defense point.*

Light Dimitri: I take the field. Every last one of them will yield to me...or they will perish.

Shadow Edelgard: Courage, now! The time has come to bring our war with the Light Kingdom to its end!

Grey Seteth: King Light Dimitri is keeping the Shadow Empire busy! Break through their defenses!

*Grey Seteth and some grey church soldiers launch a surprise attack on the Defense Point.*

Light Hubert: They coordinated that well. I'm almost impressed. Move to intercept at once!

Light Claude: I was wondering when Seteth would show up—and wouldn't you know it, there he is.

Shadow Shez: You Know what to do, Light Claude!

Light Claude: Take careful aim, now. Don't let any of them breach the defensive line!

Light Seteth: Archers! No...they must have seen our attack coming.

*When Shadow Edelgard approaches Light Dimitri…*

Shadow Edelgard: It is not too late, Light Dimitri. Sever your ties with the Grey Central Church and return to your people.

Light Dimitri: And I'm to believe that will end your aggressions? You'll come for me anyway. Your thirst for blood is unquenchable.

*When Shadows Shez approaches Grey Bileth…*

Grey Bileth: Why are you so focused on me?

Shadow Shez: I'm up against the Grey Ashen Demon herself...but I'm not about to back down! As This is my destiny

*When Grey Bilethi's HP reach <= 50%...*

Grey Bileth: Seems you are quite strong but your destiny isn’t to defeat me.

*When Light Dimitri's HP reach <= 50%...*

Light Dimitri: I will sacrifice my own body if I must. Every ounce of my being I offer for the future of Light Faerghus!

*When Grey Bileth Is defeated…*

Grey Bileth: The truth is Your destiny is to help me. Retreats

Shadow Shez: Get Back Here. Leaves The Battlefield, Leaving Shadow Monica alone.

Shadow Monica: He is so focused on defeating Grey BIleth.

*When Light Dimitri is defeated*

Light Dimitri: Right when I was so close to ending her...

Shadow Edelgard: He came at us like a maelstrom, but we managed to take the wind out of his sails.

Light Claude: We drove off the Light Kingdom and the Grey Central Church. It's a start, but...

Shadow Edelgard: But this war is not over. We will hunt Light Dimitri down and put an end to this struggle.

*At Grey Ailell, the Valley of Torment*

Light Randolph: Urgent report, Your Majesty! After his failed charge, Dimitri forced his way south in retreat! He has fled the battlefield! And the archbishop's right-hand man Seteth has escaped to the north! We've lost sight of him and his troops!

Light Claude: Light Dimitri's the one to go after—things will get complicated if we let him get away. We can move the fastest, so leave the pursuit to us. Just don't forget to send reinforcements, all right?

Light Claude leaves.

Shadow Edelgard: *to Shadow Byleth* I want you to follow Claude. It's not that I don't trust him, exactly. I just want to make sure we're the ones who apprehend Light Dimitri.

Shadow Byleth: Leave it to me.

*Shadow Byleth leaves.*

Shadow Edelgard: Now that I think about it, there's something else to be concerned about. Where was the grey archbishop? Where was the main force of the Knights of Grey Seiros? Grey Rhea would've relished a battle like this, yet she was nowhere to be found.

Shadow Ferdinand: No! Shadow Hubert, let me ask you something. When the archbishop escaped from Garreg Mach, we found no evidence of how she managed to reach this valley. Correct?

Shadow Hubert: Indeed. We searched high and low, but it was only by chance that we picked up her trail in Ailell. That is how we knew she had entered the Kingdom. Without that clue, she would have been in the wind.

Shadow Ferdinand: Just as I suspected.

Shadow Hubert: What is it, Shadow Ferdinand? Is Grey Garreg Mach in danger?

Shadow Ferdinand: I fear so. There could be a secret path between this valley and the monastery that only the Grey Church knows about. And in that case, the grey archbishop might be using it to stage an attack on Grey Garreg Mach!

Shadow Edelgard: It's certainly possible. Hubert, your thoughts?

Shadow Hubert: I will look into it, but I am almost certain that Shadow Ferdinand's theory is correct. We should assume this is the case and take action immediately.

Shadow Ferdinand: Of course it is correct. Very wise of you to see that.

Shadow Edelgard: In that case, we'll divide our troops. The main force will proceed with occupying Grey Galatea. We'll lead the remaining third south to Garreg Mach, and continue our pursuit of Light Dimitri.

*With Grey Byleth who has located Shadow Monica who is separate from the meeting…*

Shadow Byleth: What Are you doing here, Shadow Monica?

Shadow Monica: During the Battle, Shadow Shez charged after Your sister as soon as the two of us made her flee and now I am wondering why.

Shadow Byleth: So he has chosen now to strike.

Shadow Monica: What is that supposed to mean?

*Then Shadow Byleth points and Shadow Monica looks where he is pointing and they see Shadow Shez attacking Shadow Byleth.*

Shadow Shez : *Chuckles Evilly*

Grey Bileth: What's wrong with you?

Shadow Shez: *With Shadow Arval's voice* Oh, nothing. Just thinking how the time has finally come.

Does it Matter? - Chapter 9 - Part 1

*Warning: Adult Content*

Paige led Dara down rows of stalls, introducing each horse in turn.

"This is Raisin," Paige said, patting the head of a large, black horse as it leant over the stall door to greet her.

"He's our errand horse, so if you need to go somewhere, take him. Just remember to tie him up as soon as you dismount or he'll just go home without you the second you turn your back on him. He's a fine horse but I can't sell the bastard because he just finds some way to get free and come home."

"At least he would be difficult to steal."

"Not a huge concern around here but you're not wrong."

"Yenkarth are impossible to steal. They'll kill you just for trying."

Dara patted Raisin's head.

"I still don't know how the prince managed to earn Farah's trust. He said he found her but yenkarth will usually sooner turn wild than take to a new person. Especially since he doesn't know how to command her. It's impressive."

"Oh, yes. You use whistles, don't you?"

Dara nodded.

"The sound carries better than shouted commands up in the mountains. I think I can still do all of them. Not that it matters here, ma'am, since your horses aren't trained to respond to them."

She made a face and shook her head.

"Don't call me that."

"Sir?" Dara offered and then winced.

That probably hadn't been what she'd meant.

"Sorry."

But Paige was smiling.

"I actually don't mind the sound of that but no, Paige is fine or nothing at all. I find formalities get in the way of saying what you actually mean and I don't have time for that when I'm working."

"That's probably for the best. I do forget myself quite a lot, unfortunately. Nobody really cared how I spoke at the barracks as long as I did my work."

"Working for the prince must have been a hell of a change of pace."

Dara smiled.

"It was a miracle I didn't get myself executed, really."

"That man didn't look like he had execution on his mind when you were saying goodbye."

That smile slowly fell from Dara's face.

"Hmm."

"It's okay. I married a stable-hand. These things happen when the heart gets involved."

"Let's not get carried away. I think we were both just lonely and when you're lonely any connection can feel profound. I'm sure now that he's recognised that need in himself, he'll be able to find someone more appropriate to fill it."

"And you?"

"I like horses. Maybe working here will give me what I've been looking for."

"I like horses a hell of a lot too, Dara but I still married a stable-hand."

********

They were supposed to meet with Lord Hobbs after dropping Dara off but near the end of the ride Maric had announced that he wanted to meet with the starving peasants instead.

The situation was a bit less predictable than Brayan preferred but if Lord Hobbs' display last night was anything to go by the peasants were less likely to give him reason to reach for his sword.

The peasants who tended the fields lived in tiny, makeshift houses, cobbled together along the banks of the river that cut through the far end of the city.

Brayan didn't enjoy the energy as they rode in, women pulling their children inside and men levelling wary gazes in their direction.

If Maric noticed, he wasn't letting it bother him.

He found a clearing large enough to hold all of their men, dismounted, and turned to address a young man leaning against a wall.

"Who's in charge here?"

The young man had been trying to look tough and unconcerned but he hadn't been prepared to attract the prince's attention.

He unfolded and refolded his arms over his chest.

"Uh. No one."

"No one's in charge?"

"Well, I mean, uh. No?"

"Quint," a woman called out from a nearby doorway and the guilty look on the young man's face and the hunching of his shoulders revealed just how young he really was.

"You get inside, now."

Quint tensed, ready to move, torn between disobeying his mother and walking away from a prince.

"I'm looking for someone in charge to talk to," Maric called out to the woman.

"That'll be Nicol. If you just wait there, someone'll be getting him for you."

She beckoned to Quint.

"My son can come inside now, yeah?"

"Hmm," Maric said and turned his back to them, stroking Farah's head as he waited.

Maric seemed at ease but the same wasn't true for his men.

They were tense, ready to act.

None of these people were treating Maric appropriately and if Maric cared to challenge that it would be their job to educate them on how a prince ought to be treated.

It wouldn't have been the first time.

In the military there were always people who wanted to push boundaries and because Maric was young there were those who thought they could get away with ignoring his status.

They did not get away with it.

Brayan made sure of that but these were peasants.

They were ignorant, not malicious.

There was no point even educating them in how to properly address a prince because they'd likely never have the opportunity to do it again.

Oh the nail technicians would have a BLAST. He just throws open the door and ANNOUNCES "I need the Bitchiest(tm) most reporter offending nails you've GOT!"

Do you have ANY idea how long they have bitched and moaned, strike that, LAMENTED that poor Brucie "himbo" Wayne did not have someone willing to slash tires, guarding his beautiful but emptied headed back?

Paulina is laughing at them over the phone because SHE knew. The beauty culture in Gotham is just... Like That(tm). Now she's texting Danny tips. Sam feels vaguely betrayed. Danny... Danny how could you?

Paulina, Danny? You go to HER for "making grown adults cry" tips? In front of Sam's SALAD, Danny? On this? The day of her non-existent daughter's wedding?? Dead to her! Disowned! It's like she doesn't even KNOW you anymore!

Tucker is just trying to see how many "technically legal" "self defense" devices he can fit into one of those fashion corset thingies. Is looking up if it's legal to walk around with stiletto knives if... and bare with him... they were shoes.

He says double down everything they tell him not to do something. Commit to the bit Danny! Fuck it, weaponizable feminine clothing! Maybe he might ACTUALLY get a date out of this! (Danny and Sam: Eeeeeh.. *so-so, it's unlikely hand motion*) If nothing ELSE, it'll help him break into the tech markets! He needed a niche anyway.

Why NOT? It's GOTHAM! You work for the WAYNE'S! Free advertising AND a ready buyers market! Be gay, Danny! Do crimes! Now take these fishnets strong enough to choke out a supersolider without tearing and leave him to market research!

Danny... is getting kinda worried about Tucker. I mean, the tights are cool! But uuuuh.. *hands to sam* Lookin little Mad Scientist around the eyes their buddy... Have you been talking to Mr. Wayne's son again? You KNOW you n Tim feed off each other in some sort of unholy spirally pit of madness, from which neither of you willingly choose to escape.

Danny "Town Menace Phantom" Fenton, done with Genderbent Wes Weston: To fuck your mom.

Bruce's experienced receptionist that left for 6 seconds: okay, Danny no--

Danny, who knows something's up with the Wayne family: and your Dad, because we support the LGBTQIA community. Thank you and leave.

Dreams Come True

Liv Morgan x Reader

Word Count: 1.1k

Summary: You get to watch your girlfriend live out her dreams at Money In The Bank.

Masterlist

There was no one more deserving than Liv. She had been over from the moment she was on-screen. Yet they wouldn't hand her any titles. There were numerous occasions you could think of where Liv should have won the titles.

Liv had dominated the tag division with every partner she had yet no title reign. Months and months of build up and heat for multiple matches with Becky, just to lose when the title was on the line. Hell, at this point she was owed at least a 24/7 title reign.

Liv often laughed at how passionate you were when it came to her booking. If she was upset, then you were 10 times more upset. You hated that she was being treated this way.

Especially because you were thriving in your respective company. You had main event matches at pay-per-views, you had intense rivalries with great competitors, and you had held both the Women's titles; that was only in your first 7 months with the company.

While you were very grateful for your success, you knew Liv deserved the same. If you could be built up to be a respectable champion and main-eventer in a few months, then so could Liv.

This should be her moment.

Usually people from your company wouldn't be allowed backstage at a WWE event, but they made an exception. Not for your sake, but because they were doing a special on Liv, and they wanted some footage of you to really sell it.

It was irrelevant to you, as long as you were able to be with your girl, everything would be fine.

" Funny running into you here."

You slowly turn around to see your girlfriend smiling brightly at you," Is it really? You know, I used to work here. I was a pretty big star if you ask me."

Liv tilted her head before feigning remembrance," Oh right you were the banana in No Way in Jose's conga line, right?"

You suck in a breath," Ooo it's going to be like that."

" It might have to be unless…"

She took one big step, closing the gap between the two of you," Unless what?"

She hooks her arms behind your neck," I get a kiss."

" Miss Morgan, that's so scandalous."

She plays along," I know, but we must."

You hold her waist flush against yours, but kiss her softly, "I missed you."

" I missed you more. I can't believe you're here," Her hands slide through your hair.

" Anything to support you. Future miss money in the back, soon to be Raw Women's champion," you manifested.

Liv sighs," I hope so, they haven't told us the finish yet. We won't know until we hit the gorilla."

You place both your hands on her shoulders and stare," If it's not Liv, we riot."

She chuckles," They'll probably kick you out if you even try."

Your conversation gets cut short, by the announcement of the women's money in the bank ladder match. Liv' eyes fall on yours," Good luck kiss?"

You swiftly kiss her as she makes her way to the gorilla. She turns back to look at you for a moment.

" I'll be watching you," you shout the catchphrase at her. She throws a salute and enters the arena.

The crowd pops for her, and that alone puts a smile on your face. You sit at the monitor with a few of your old colleagues to watch the match.

You don't chat much, your focus solely on Liv. Some of the bumps she takes makes you cringe. Part of you shrugs it off, especially because you had a blood fest of a match at Blood and Guts not too long ago.

Then it happens. She's got an opening, she's climbing. With each step, you rise a little out of your seat. Her fingertips are on the briefcase. Time seems to slow as you watch her unhook the case.

You immediately scream and start jumping in place. It takes everything in you to not rush out into the arena and envelope your girl in a hug. She sits on top of the ladder, tears streaming down her face as she holds up the briefcase triumphantly.

You're the first one to the gorilla, nearly bouncing with energy. When she walks through the curtain, you pick her up and spin her around. She giggles as her legs wrapped around you.

" I'm so proud of you, Liv," you whisper into her ear. She holds you a little tighter.

You put her down to let her go celebrate with her friends. In those few moments, you still feel the energy from Liv's win radiating off of you. When she parts from her friends, you lose track of her.

Surprisingly, you find her away from everyone staring at the briefcase. You take a seat next to her, and she inhales deeply.

" What's wrong?"

" I'm going to cash this in tonight. I'm going to be the Smackdown Women's Champion," she says, only for you to hear. She isn't as excited as you would have imagined.

" That's great news, right?"

Liv buries her head into your neck," I'm nervous. What if I screw this up? What if I let the fans down? What if-"

You kiss the top of her head and squeeze her hand," You were made for this, Liv. You've been waiting for this moment for too long. I know you can do it, your peers know that you can do it, the fans know that you can do it. When it happens, we will all be chanting, you deserved it."

" You always know what to say," she smiles at you.

" I know, now go make the world watch you."

You watch as your girlfriend makes her out of the gorilla. From the tvs around, you could see her rushing down that ramp. The commentary team is in shock, like they always are when someone cashes in.

Part of you worries, because Ronda isn't down, that it take away from Liv's moment. She's got her in a possum roll, the ref counts it. Then the bell rings and Liv is the new champion.

When she comes backstage, you do a few mimicking bows," The champ is here."

She wipes the tears from her eyes, "You're such a dork."

" I may be a dork, but my girlfriend is a world champ. I think that makes me cool by association, doesn't it?"

She lightly shoves your shoulder," Whatever."

Live spent the rest of the night doing press, interviews, and photo ops with the title. You didn't mind at all, seeing all of this made you smile like an idiot.

You were happy that Liv finally got the payout she deserved. By the time you left the building, Liv was exhausted. She fell asleep on the way to her next hotel.

Technically, you were supposed to have gotten on a flight to leave that same night, but you didn't. Instead, you carried Liv to her hotel room and plopped down in the bed with her.

You'd find a flight tomorrow, tonight all you wanted to do was be close to your champion.

Note

So uhhh I saw the "The ashes of the divine" ff and what if in the ending we make them (Archon's) kill each other in order to have our "mercy" or something and see them fight for their lives for survival, but in the end they all die? :3 Its okay if you don't wanna do it, ty for reading 😅

⁂~The Cinders of the Divine~⁂

Summary -> The ask above!

Note -> If you want to read the ashes of the divine, it's here! I'm fine with doing it, don't worry! I decided to go with a more slow approach rather than something direct. Please don't mind the harsh language, I'm kind of upset currently.

Warnings -> Drowning, Worshipping, soft-yanderes, gore(?), cursing

Genre -> Angst

You felt helpless. You felt your death nearing as days passed.

You slowly walked as the guards tugged on the ropes binding your arms together. You couldn't feel your legs, numb as you continued to try and balance your way towards the port.

You pulled your head down in despair, unable to search for the energy to lift it. It's not as if you needed to lift your head, you didn't need the icy cold glare of anyone else crushing your hope and spirit when you could already feel them.

As Baal and Yae each grabbed a hold of the rope, pushing the guards away before whispering their prayers for the Creator and hoping that they'll realize their achievements, unaware that the creator is the person they happen to be executing.

The pair both pulled you closer to the edge of the port, everyone beginning to crowd around as some archons stepped closer to get a better view, a front-row seat if you want to call it that.

"Your last words, imposter? We will let you say that much." Baal remarks to you.

A sigh escapes your throat, exiting out of your lips as you look down to the fierce waves that will soon engulf your body.

"I'll wait for the day their grace sees how terrible you've treated me. They will ensure my death is remembered."

A scowl appears on Baal's face as lightning crackles from her fingertips. She eyes Miko, signaling for Yae to push you. It's now or never.

Baal and Yae both push you off of the port before letting go of their grip on the rope, watching your descent down into the stormy oceans below.

The crowd cheers as the archons clap in gratitude for your death.

As you splash into the ocean's embrace, the cold water slowly affects your thinking as your lungs slowly run out of oxygen. Your survival instincts kick in as your try to move your legs and arms to swim.

Unluckily for you, the ropes that bind your arms are still tying you together and it was a grueling task to move around in the water properly without the help of your hands or feet.

You try to scream again despite knowing there would be no one there to save you and water enters your system.

You didn't have the energy, hope, or determination to move anymore. You've given up.

As you look at the marine creatures surrounding your body in the sea, you think, "At least there are some creatures out there who have regard for me."

"Citizens of Inazuma, you have seen the result of those who mock the divine one! I will not allow such treachery to happen twice." Baal announces to her people.

The archons step up next to her, ready to relay the words of the creator for every mortal present to hear.

"The imposter's words will not be acknowledged. Their grace knows that we have done them justice and it will not be treated otherwise." The Tsaritsa states, her words clear, her tone bold.

How long was that? How long did such a 'joyous' moment last?

It has barely been days after your execution and the people of every nation, no, every single living being has barely been able to scrape by with each passing day.

The sky's once vibrant colors during day have been drained of life itself, morphing into a red color. Most plants have withered already. Even the archons are unsure of what or who is the cause of this disaster.

As the days passed, the only factor that hasn't been affected was the ocean. It's slightly transparent yet blurry blue that mixes in with the marine creatures still happily splashing around and playing despite the circumstances.

The ocean's still as lively as ever. If anything, it seems to be thriving and flourishing from this situation. Even people have resorted to living near the beach, it's as if something or someone is protecting it.

Of course, this strange phenomenon would be detected by the archons sooner or later. When people tried to inquire the Hydro Archon for answers, even the deity was left emptyhanded with words.

The archons all gathered, deciding to dive into the ocean to try and search for an answer. Maybe taking such a risk would unveil a plausible solution to their problems.

As the archons entered the ocean, the bubble created by the Hydro Archon allowing them to explore the depths of the Sea and protect them from the harsh waves of the sea trying to push them back.

Was someone trying to prevent them from entering?

The group of deities arrived at the front of a temple, summoning their weapons and making their entrance in the temple.

"Ei, do you feel it?" The Pyro Archon whispered to the Electro Archon standing next to her. The Tsaritsa couldn't help but nod as the bubble surrounding all of the archons burst.

What was supposed to be the waters of the ocean surrounding them was oxygen. The waters that were supposed to be overflowing this palace was replaced by air.

This place broke all physics.

Yet, all of the archons were nonetheless stunned by something other than that detail. It was this serenity, the aura that flowed like feathers gracefully gliding in the air.

Where did they feel this before?

This place, it was the abode... no, the territory of a god. "It isn't safe here, this isn't a place we were meant to enter." Ei warns her comrades, the grip on her polearm tightening, her nails digging into her skin.

"Ding ding ding!" You clap as you stroll out, "You're right!" All of the archons raise up their weapons as a reaction to your entrance. Except for... Ei?

Ei runs to you, falling to her knees after the electro archon gets a proper look at your face. Her weapon slides across the floor when she throws it away, her main line of defense or animosity towards you melting away in a second.

She's felt this divine presence before. It was you! She could feel this sort of heavenly essence from you, but instead of trusting her heart, she believed in the decision of the other archons.

How foolish of her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean the words I said. I was out of line!" Her desperation grows as her hands claw onto your clothing, "I, no. We were wrong. Retribution, Repentance, please give me any form of punishment."

You pull her hands away from your clothes, "Don't touch me." You whisper to her as your words scar her, her mind, and her sou. The comprehension of what horrible things she has done to you hitting her even harder.

"Have you realized it yet? Have you realized who you all collectively hunted down and traumatized happened to be the person you oh, so adore and worship?"

You chuckle as you see despair beginning to form in their hearts.

"Have you realized that you might not ever be forgiven? Have you realized how grave of a mistake you made?"

You make your way to Rex Lapis, the one leading the whole operation to brutally slaughter you, to have your head and use it as an offering.

"Look at you! You used to be on your high horse for being such a devoted follower, but I wonder what happened! Could it be? Did you finally realize how much you truly fucked up? How terrible you've been?"

You laugh, feeling fulfilled with your actions. However, just them feeling despair or hopelessness wasn't enough of an apology for you. No way, not after what you had to go through.

Barbatos crawls over to you like a starving cat begging for food, tugging on your clothing. "Please, your divine eminence, we need nothing more than forgiveness for our actions."

"Just that?! Do you think that's it? After everything?" You gag, "oH, yEaH, I fOrgIvE yOu, eVen AftEr aLL oF tHe SuffEring I WeNt ThroUgh aFter A biT oF BegGing... is what I would say if I was some forgiving, innocent, loving idiot."

You turn around, climbing up a few steps before reaching the top where a throne stood. You sat down on the throne designated for you.

"Well... I could make an exception."

The archons all turn their attention to you, their hopes skyrocketing. There's actually a chance of redemption? Of receiving forgiveness after all of the sins they've committed?

Experiencing such a thing would be more than any form of compensation, it would be a rebirth.

"Fight to the death, each and every one of you," You announce as your finger points at all of the deities on their knees. They all look at their comrades, nervousness overcoming them.

Will they stay faithful? Will they rebel? Will they really murder the comrades that have stood by them for hundreds of years?

"I mean... it's the least you could do for me."

AAA 2016

Lily masterlist

"Hey, you feeling alright?" Johnny asks, gently nudging your side when he notices you've lost focus, zoning out as a performance goes on.

You nod your head, but it's obvious he isn't exactly convinced. You had just debuted this year, and to say it was controversial would have put it lightly. You were the only girl in a boy group, NCT wasn't classified as co-ed technically, and people hated you to say the least. The amount of hate you got was unbearable, it was so bad that your members restricted your internet access. When you did v-lives together, you weren't allowed to have an iPad. But despite all that, you knew. And the entire group suffered because of it, you wondered if your position was even worth it. NCT could do so much better without you. Some of the things people said, you couldn't even repeat it was horrible. You hadn't been afraid of the cameras when you debuted, but the fear slowly settled in. You hated speaking even more than you already did, panic would set in when the camera turned in your direction, you couldn't breathe during interviews, and god forbid you make a mistake. Your members couldn't even resent you, not when they saw what toll it already took on you. Nothing you did was quite good enough, and as much as your members tried to be there for you, they didn't understand. No one understood.

"Keep your head up, hm? It'll all work out eventually," he promises you.

"What if this isn't worth it anymore? I should just quit while we're ahead, we're barely a year in. We tried, but it isn't working," you frown.

"I know it sucks, but just hang in there. Whatever happens, we'll figure it out together," he assures you. You decide to drop it and turn back to the ending performance. No matter how you felt, you couldn't look upset or else the media would turn it around and make you the bad guy. So even though you wanted to cry, you couldn't.

You notice a manager jog over, and she leans over a couple seats to say something to Taeyong before scurrying away.

"When we go up for the award, they don't want Lily going with us," Taeyong tells the rest of you regretfully when you ask what happened. As Taeyong looks over, he's a little surprised to see your expressions doesn't change. The first couple times, you, at least, looked a little disappointed. He can't remember the last time he saw a genuine smile from you, it had to be before you all debuted.

"What? We can't go up without her-"

"It's fine, you guys go," you cut Mark off.

"It's not fine, you haven't gone up with us yet at all, it's not fair, you're just as much part of the team-"

"Mark, I appreciate it, but drop it. Please," you nearly beg. You have no choice, no matter how mad Mark or the others get, if management doesn't want you to go up then you won't.

Sooner, rather than later, rookie of the year is announced. Your members stand, as well as Blackpink somewhere else in the room, some of them patting your head as they pass.

"Next time," Taeyong promises as he passes you. You nod as he goes. In front of you were two rows, EXO sat in front of you, and Yoona sat in the front. Your seniors in the company were rather nice to you, thankfully, perhaps they pitied you.

"Lily-ssi, aren't you going up with them?" Yoona asks as she turns around, leaning back so you can hear. She looks concerned, her pretty face furrowing in confusion.

"It's not too late, you can still go," Suho encourages.

"It's okay, the staff said I should stay back," you shake your head.

"What? Why? I can talk to the staff if you want, they'll listen to me-"

"Unnie, they said not to. Even if I could, I don't want to go up there," you tell her, a little exasperated. You were tired, and you felt the weight of a million pounds on your shoulders. There was hardly a single friendly face in the crowd.

"It'll get better soon, stuff like this always does," Yoona assures you softly, able to see you were upset no matter how well you hid it. She reaches back and holds her hand out for you. As she's your senior, you're in no place to reject it. You take a second to lower your head and calm down. The next time you look up, there's a man in a black shirt and army pants standing in front of you looking on the stage.

He turns around next, deciding to search through the crowd next. For the first time in what feels like forever, you smile.

"James!"

You stand up to draw his attention and he, too, smiles when he sees you. His wrist is in a cast but he looks otherwise well. He points over to the ends of the seats, and waits for you at the bottom as you make your way over and throw yourself against him.

"You weren't supposed to be back until next week," you sniffle as his embrace, the first comfort you felt in months, soothes your inner turmoil.

"I couldn't miss my best girl's birthday, could I? Your nearly 17," he chuckles as his one arm wraps around you, the other gently cradling your head. His embrace lifts you off your feet, and he can sense you need the hug more than he does so he simply holds you for a bit.

"I missed you," you sniffle, trying your best not to cry. Over his shoulder, you can see Yoona smile over at you.

"I know, I missed you too kid," he hums as he gently rubs your back.

"Where's Teddy? Is everything okay?" you ask as you pull back a bit, looking down at his hand.

"Oh this? Don't worry about it, Teddy's given me worse injuries, this is nothing. He's talking with some of your managers, trying to convince some of them to let you leave with us a little early," he tells you, pointing him out at the end.

"Do you really preform in front of this many people?" James asks as he takes a look at the crowd.

"Yeah, but I don't think many of them like me," you admit.

"Who wouldn't like this face, hm?" he questions rhetorically as he reaches out to pat your cheek, forcing a smile from you.

"Aren't you a little young to be wearing stuff like this?" he asks, the distaste clear on his face as he looks down at the shoes you're wearing.

"They said the outfits get better with time," you tell him, glancing back once more at your brother. Yoona keeps a close eye on the interaction, thankful you look happy again. Maybe she did pity you, the first time you met, but in the months since she's found herself growing rather fond of Lily. For once, she finally looked like a 16 year old again, carefree, happy, not a 16 year old with the world seemingly against her.

"Go," he says softly, noticing your hesitation. As you make a move to go, he quickly grabs your wrist and motions at the shoes, the likely culprit in if you fall. You plop them into his hands and he gladly lets you go then.

You take off in the other direction, speed walking and occasionally breaking into a jog as you make your way over to Teddy. You half heartedly bow to the seniors you pass and you call out his name half way. He stops what he's doing and begins walking over to you as well, arms open and waiting to scoop you up.

"I missed you," you choke out as your brother hugs you.

"I missed you too. Good news, your managers agreed to let you go early. James and I will take you out to dinner," he tells you. As odd as it sounds, his scent felt like home. You had nearly forgotten what he smelled like.

"Are you hurt?" you whimper.

"No, no I'm okay. James is just stupid, he fell into a ditch but I'm sure he'll tell you some heroic story about how he jumped out from a window or something," he chuckles, forcing you to laugh along with him. He sighs and presses a kiss to your temple.

"I'm so proud of you, Lily. I know it's been hard lately, but I have a meeting with your boss tomorrow and I'll help sort the rest out, alright? It'll get better soon," he promises you. Even though others have promised it would get better, Teddy's promise wasn't empty. You can't remember the last time he broke his promise, and he definitely wouldn't start now.

"How can you be so sure you'll help with one meeting?" you sniffle as you pull back a bit so see his face. James catches up, hearing the latter part of your conversation, and swings an arm around Teddy's shoulders.

"We have our ways at getting what we want. You have two navy seal brothers and yet you still doubt us?" James teases.

"I don't," you deny as he holds out the shoes for you to hold.

"Good, now come on, I'm hungry and you look like you could eat," James chuckles. You take a moment to burn this image into your memories, your two brothers smiling at you together, an arm slung around each other, happy, proud.

"I know a place near my dorm," you nod.

"Excellent. On the way I'll tell you about how I fractured my wrist," James grins as he grabs your hand and begins leading you out.

"I jumped in front of three children and fell out a window..."

i think they'll love you. god, wes can only dream! nothing would be better than mom and dad washington loving him as much as he loves their daughter. even spending a second to fantasize about it is thrilling; what it might be like becoming a part of charlotte's home. thanksgivings, and birthdays, and family vacations -- how life is supposed to be lived, together amongst people loved most rather than every waking moment being dedicated to ones career. he's spent most of the flight over overthinking how exactly to impress mom and dad ( when it really isn't necessary, isn't flying halfway across the country enough of a grand gesture for them to be over the moon about him? ), but with charlotte's comment and the overwhelming desire to treat her like a princess, it really shouldn't be that hard. he knows all he has to do is showcase his love -- that being said, he doesn't know how ready he is for a one-on-one conversation with either of her parents yet, which is why he's happily following closely behind charlotte as she has quickly entered host-mode and is grabbing things to set a space for wes at the table and do last minute preparations to dinner. she's buzzing around the kitchen like a bumblebee, and appliances are flowers she's pollenating, checking in on things and glancing back over at him as if to make sure he's really truly there. he wonders for a moment as she's offering him a glass of wine if this is just how charlotte always acts around the holidays, or if she's a little on edge because of his unplanned arrival. he wouldn't blame her if there were nerves, besides, he thinks it's kind of cute anyway.

"wine isn't too bad." wes lies, taking a sip from a glass he's poured himself. all of a sudden charlotte stops in her tracks and turns to face him, and wes is about to say something so cheesy like call me a christmas gift, because i'm so wrapped up in you right now -- but she insists on warming him up and suddenly wes is setting down his wine glass on the kitchen counter and being whisked away by charlotte, past her parents sitting cozily on the couch, around a corner towards what appears to be a bedroom. wes comes to a quick halt in the doorway, even though charlotte has sauntered inside and begun rummaging through a drawer. instinct is telling him that this bedroom belongs to her parents, and while wes knows that the washington's are nothing like the nichols, he can't help but think he's not allowed inside. wes has only entered his mothers room ( at home or hotels ) a total of twice in his life, and both occurrences resulted in rather unfortunate consequences that have left wes under the lifelong impression that a parents bedroom is strictly off limits. the way that charlotte is freely able to wander through their room however, is rather refreshing.

here wes is thinking he's acting all weird by not following in after her, standing all vampire-like in the doorway waiting for an invitation inside, when charlotte announces that she's worried that she's the one being weird, handing him her fathers sweater. "you're only being a lot if in this context a lot is synonymous with extremely adorable." wes promises, slipping his arms into the sweatshirt she's provided and pulling it over his head, tussling his hair a little bit in the process. "you think i don't get it?" he smiles, tugging her closer, up against his chest. "i just flew halfway across the country because i couldn't wait another minute to see you. by all means, cling to me, please." this is all wes has wanted for months -- he doesn't need to kiss her, he doesn't even need to speak, but to have her in a close embrace like this... it's the perfect christmas gift.

charlotte's mother calls from the other room, inviting everyone to join her at the dining table, and the two are forced to put their embrace on hold again for a while and indulge in a home cooked meal like nothing wes has ever experienced before. in the matter of minutes that the two were in the other room, charlotte's mother has made the tablecloth look like something out of a hallmark movie that wes' mom would think he's too good to go out for. there are side dishes galore, gravy for days and a gorgeous roasted chicken right in the center of the table, looking juicy and cooked to perfection with charlotte's overflowing love. "wow, this looks incredible." wes thinks out loud, sitting down in the seat charlotte has set for him. it's unfortunately across the table from her, but at least there's a view.

"thank you so much for having me." wes says as they're all settling in and piling up their plates with what looks to be the most delicious thing wes will have ever put in his mouth before. "especially on um, you know, no notice." he smiles nervously, grabbing a scoopful of mashed potatoes and dropping them onto his plate. "i don't think i've ever had dinner like this before, so... it's really special, and i'm very grateful." wes tells them earnestly, looking at either end of the table to express his gratitude with not only his words but also eye contact. "and again... making space for me with no notice at all, it's really kind... thank you." he looks back to charlotte, his smile growing wider the longer his eyes are set on her. "i just really needed to see charlotte, it's been a long time now and... she's really, really important to me."

"i believe the last time we spoke you were quoted saying ' my favorite person on set '." mrs. washington chimes in, fork in the air and pointed in his direction. wes chuckles, nodding his head in agreement. "maybe i should've said favorite person on any set, ever, because that's how much i mean it." pouring a generous helping of gravy over basically the entire plate, wes notices his hand shaking a little bit as he attempts to muster up the courage to express in a more detailed way how much he loves their daughter without directly saying the words i fucking love your daughter. "really though, she um... she's makes that place bearable a lot of the time. and you know, i don't have to tell you this," he sets the gravy dish down, suddenly feeling like maybe he's rambling. "she's so talented that scenes together -- they're like three takes max. she's professional, brilliant, makes everybody laugh... yeah... yeah, she's pretty much perfect."

it feels almost impossible not to cry, lottie's pretty sure she's embarrassingly teetering over the edge in the most embarrassing fashion as she looks back at him. it can't really be helped, not after all the time apart, not after the last time they saw each other. she doesn't want to be cliche and exclaim that it's a christmas miracle, but if the shoe fits... the sight of wes on her favourite holiday is the best gift she's ever received.

he couldn't wait to see her. he pulled strings. this is the wes that makes her stomach somersault and her heart thump wildly in her ribcage, declarations of love fighting against the logical part of her brain to be let out. thankfully, his hands are on her cheeks and pulling her in, effectively shutting off the chance. she can pour it into her kiss, her arms wrapping tightly around his neck as she brushes her nose against his, tilting her head to deepen it a little bit. when they pull back, she's still too eager, pressing a quick peck to his cheek before he speaks as bright, excited eyes trace his expression, as if she's making sure he's real. charlotte grins at his words, head tipping to one side. "mm, i think i might have an idea." she laughs and there's some freedom to it, the loneliness she'd been contemplating on melting away. it still doesn't quite feel real, having wes there in her childhood home. it's not quite like having him in the townhouse, though those moments were just as special. this place is more real, more home than anywhere else she's kissed wes. it feels like it's sealing something, a stamp of authenticity on their romance which has been so up and down. lottie eases back a little bit, jokingly posing in her dorky christmas pyjamas as he admires them. "what? embarrassingly festive?" she jokes, but considering all the things he's told her, she's a little sadder at the idea that wes hasn't at least had some sort of lavish, warm christmas his entire life. it seems cold is more what he's used to.

he's inspecting her nails one second, where she's tried to draw little bows like she saw on a tiktok nail art video with slightly less success. it doesn't matter anyway, since she'll clean them off before she goes back to film. lottie's pretty sure that no matter how far her career takes her, she'll remain forever invested in giving in to whatever embarrassingly earnest traditions her family has instilled in her. that includes going overboard for the holidays in the most wholesome ways possible. "mm?" she prompts him quietly, her fingers curving over his so that she can gently rub the back of his larger hand with her thumb again. she caresses gently, her breathing stilling for a second as he mentions her parents. she doesn't respond at first, because if wes is about to ask her to not tell her parents anything when he's just showed up unannounced at her house for christmas, he might be asking too much this time. what he does say instead surprises her and it shows in the way her brows lift for a moment and she blinks, lips parting as she looks away. the smile on her lips is telling, even if she's trying to play coy right now. "yeah, i mean, i haven't told them everything, but they're definitely not stupid. i think they have an idea. i'd love to be able to tell them, at least the simple version, that there's... something between us."

using the word simple when talking about their relationship is kind of laughable, but charlotte isn't interested in overcomplicating the conversation. she meets hie eyes with a confidence she feels like she hasn't had in a while. the mention of autumn prompts an eyeroll, though she knows it's a necessary thing to mention. "i think they'll understand it. and they know how to keep their mouths shut, it won't be some like, sharing gossip at the nail salon thing. they aren't like that. not that you seem worried." it's a point for him, that's why she points it out. lottie squeezes his hand back and then beams at him, one of her biggest smiles yet. to hear him so vulnerable, the intimidating, talented wes nichols timidly asking if her parents will like him. it's kind of funny. early days of little boxes charlotte would be very, very confused. "i think they'll love you." her free hand lifts, cupping his cheek so she can offer him a peck. "who wouldn't?" she teases.

"i better set this place for you at the table, though. we're eating soon, then we watch cheesy christmas movies... and then we do one gift at midnight." immediately lottie recalled something, trying to keep her face entirely neutral as she slips from his grasp. immediately she's heading over to the cupboard to get him one of their fancy christmas plates, cutlery and a glass to make his spot at the table. there's a spare gold placemat since they always come in sets of four anyway, so she's thankful for that as she sets them down on the table. it doesn't take long, though she decides to hover back towards wes. "i'll check the food!" she drags him back to the kitchen, practically making him follow her around like a lost puppy. at this point, being apart for more than a minute feels like torture. "do you want some of this wine? it kind of sucks, but we might need the help finishing it?" she asks, indicating to the bottle before she goes to lean down in front of the oven, noticing that the roasted chicken and vegetables look perfect and ready to come out. "five minutes, i think! we'll set up!"

she drifts back to him, taking a small sip of her wine and making a face before her attention shifts entirely. "i still think you need something warmer." lottie decides, tightening her grip on his hand as she leads him back out, past the back of the couch towards her parents room. once inside she drops his hand and begins to search for a grey sweatshirt she likes stealing that's far too big for her anyway. as she secures it and marches it over to him, she pauses, realising that she's kind of focusing on everything but him because she's not quite sure what to do with herself. "is this weird? am i being a lot?" she asks, eyes widening. they have to go back out and put all the food out on the table, but she supposes needing a second to come to terms with his sudden presence is fair enough. "i've just... i've missed you a lot. like an unbearable amount and i feel like if i stop it's just going to be a lot of tears and clinging to you like, way more than i am right now." / @violetleaves

gravity

– nasa operator!sim jaeyun x astronaut!gn! reader

miles of sky and space doesn't stop gravity from pulling him to you.

genre: strangers/coworkers to lovers, fluff

wc: 2.7k

warnings: 3rd person pov, probably inaccurate astronaut/nasa lingo sorry i'm a chemistry major LOL, one curse word, couple of time skips, food cw

a/n: yea it's another fluff one-shot 😎 finally a jake one-shot! i hope y'all enjoy this i took a while to write this but i'm p proud of how it turned out despite no proofread.

♞──────────────────────────♞

time on earth: 3:43 am

one of nasa's star rookies sits inside the mission room, monitoring the ISS diligently. today, sim jaeyun was assigned to keep watch on their astronauts as well as the station itself. it's supposed to be a reward for performing well on the latest calculations, but he can't help but find it a little boring. he flips through the cameras quickly, as if trying to find something new.

'yeah right, like anything happens in space,' he mumbles in his head. adjusting his thin glasses and stretching his chair to feel just a tad bit more alive, jake takes a look at one of the three astronauts on board as they float to the window. it seems to be l/n y/n, a rookie who excelled at their simulation tests and the one they say has stars in their eyes themselves.

the astronaut peeks over their shoulder surprised. they make swimming motions to reach over the intercom, which makes jake laugh a little. finally, they push the button and make a reply. "yes houston, this is l/n. is something wrong?"

now jake hadn't planned this far, but since he was already doing it, he might as well go through with it. "do you miss earth?"

he can see through the cameras that y/n wasn't expecting that question as their eyes widen. someway somehow, jaeyun was able to see the stars in their eyes everyone gushed about. maybe it was even better because they were actually living with the stars in space at the time.

"i-i don't know if we should be talking about this, but yea, i do miss earth," they finally reply. "not that being in space isn't fun! i just can't help myself especially since i can see the planet spinning in front of my eyes..."

it's silent for a bit, making the astronaut worry. "h-hello? houston?"

jake blinks before shaking his head and hurried to reply. "y-yes! sorry, i was just caught up in how lonely you sound?"

again, an awkward silence stills. the nasa operator curses to himself, realizing how awkward he must have made it and scrambling to fix the mistake. "i'm really sorry i didn't mean to overstep my boundaries!" he rushes. "my name's sim jaeyun, by the way. people know me better as jake."

"sim jaeyun? rising star sim jaeyun?" they owlishly repeat.

"that's me," he states back, rubbing the back of his neck. "i guess you've heard my name."

he sees the astronaut nod in camera before they're absentmindedly spinning circles midair. "you're my age, and you're already working in nasa headquarters. quite a feat would spread around, you know?"

jake laughs and shakes his head at their comment. "you say that like you're not star rookie l/n y/n."

at the sound of their twinkling laugh, jake's eyes perk up to capture the joyful astronaut holding their stomach on the cameras. "i can tell we're a lot alike, jake," you say with a smile stretching across your face.

it turns out he likes hearing his name off their lips albeit via nasa intercoms. calming down the beating of his heart, jake starts off the first of many late night conversations. "so would you like to hear what's happening on earth?"

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ゜・・゜゜・*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

time on earth: 2:26 am

"—and layla was having such a good time meeting other puppies at the park this morning!" jake laughs out with the rookie astronaut laughing with them on the other side of the intercom, separated by thousands of miles in between them. they've been talking like this over the system for weeks now, practically a little over a month. safe to say, the nasa operator was developing feelings for them, perhaps already smitten. sunghoon in the other unit said something about being whipped?

"i wonder how she would react seeing my puppy," they reply.

"when you come back to earth, the first thing we'll do is have them meet on a puppy playdate," he tells them earnestly.

"just layla and rosie on a date? what about us?" he could hear the smirk in their voice even though they weren't next to him.

"i-i-huh? what?" jake stammers. he heard the smirk, but did he hear the words properly? for one, he's not sure they know what he looks like. does that matter to them? without realizing it, his hands are taking off his glasses and fiddling with them.

"are you nervous?"

"hah, what makes you think that?" jake asks nervously.

"jake, i can hear you playing with your glasses."

"shit," he curses, and an endearing giggle is heard on the other side.

"i like you, let's make it a date between us too," he hears, his face gradually becoming hotter.

the chance to confess to his crush is literally handed to him on a silver platter, but he's too busy acting like a middle schooler trying to give chocolates to the person he likes. it's unusual for him to feel like this, his heart's beating way too fast for him to think, and he has to cough to calm down.

"it's a date then." a happy hum is the response he gets, which does nothing to calm the beating of his heart but ignites a new warmth in him. "hey, wait a minute, do you even know what i look like?"

"i kinda remember, but does that even matter?"

"i don't know what if you don't like my face?"

"please, my roommate told me you're on par with that sunghoon guy, and he's known as the prince of his division."

"yeah, but-"

"don't take this the wrong way, jake, but shush." he's sure that if they were here in person, they would put a finger on his lips. it seemed like a(n) y/n thing to do based on the time they've gotten to know each other. "i don't care what you look like. the connection we have together is enough, don't you think?"

he knows they're right, but it doesn't stop the sassy compliment from tumbling out of his mouth. "well, we have a connection and i know you're pretty and smart and funny."

perhaps it's just the color of the screen, but jake swears he saw a blush on their face. it makes him proud after he had somewhat embarrassed himself earlier.

"good night, jake," y/n playfully scoffs at him.

"good night, y/n."

'what a night,' jake thinks to himself with a stupid grin spreading across his face as he prepares the systems for the person on the next shift.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ゜・・゜゜・*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

time on earth: 9:18 am

today is the day. today the pod that stayed at the ISS for 3 months was coming back to earth, and everyone was on their toes. jake was currently scanning the computer calculations from any errors, clutching the paper and burning holes in it with his eyes.

"you good there, bro?" he doesn't need to lift up his head to know that it's sunghoon.

"i have to make sure these are perfect," jake replies in a tone that screamed don't-bother-me.

he feels his coworker's hand pat his shoulder in reassurance. "relax, jake. they'll get here just fine."

jake's whole body sighs when he takes a deep breath. "yeah, i know. i'll just check one more."

his friend offers a comforting smile and one more pat before leaving him to perform his own duties for the landing.

for this last check, jake takes it upon himself to calculate the angle in which the pod enters the earth's atmosphere by hand as a safety precaution. his head jumbles with all the physics equations necessary as his hand complains by cramping from how fast he's calculating.

upon finishing, he looks at the two final numbers side by side. "same to the 5th decimal place," jake affirms to himself.

"great, does that mean you're ready to turn it in, mr. sim?"

turning around abruptly to the sound of the voice, jake finds his supervisor and rushes to grab all the papers for presentation. "yes, ma'am!"

a smile graces her face as she takes the materials from him and flips through the calculations. "good work," she finally says. "our astronauts will get home safely thanks to you."

it's like a weight lifted off his shoulders when he hears those words. jake lets out a sigh of relief once his supervisor walks away and tells him to wait for further instruction. he folds into his chair, thinking about how soon he'll finally be able to see y/n in person.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ゜・・゜゜・*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

time on earth: 9:45 am

"everyone, standby!" jake's supervisor announced. the whole command center took a deep breath as they tuned into the astronauts, soon to be leaving the ISS via pod.

"l/n, song, johnson, do you read me?"

"loud and clear, houston," y/n l/n replies in crisp audio.

"get ready to launch then, atlantis ii."

"copy that, houston." the sounds of buckling and buttons flicking can be heard on the other end as jake's palms sweat.

"3... 2... 1... launch!" and they're detached from the ISS, launched into the endless ocean of stars and dust that is space.

"coordinates and angles, houston?"

"atlantis ii, the speed, angle, and coordinates at which you are to enter..." and jake hears his checked numbers be repeated to them. "...you'll be dropping in the gulf of mexico."

"copy that, houston. ready to enter earth's atmosphere in 3... 2... 1... entering!"

the audio delivers the rough shaking as the temperature regulation beeps steadily.

"your temperatures are in the right range, atlantis ii."

it's a rough 5 or something minutes, jake's not sure of the time. he just knows his armchair is having a field day with all the gripping he's doing. he can hear the shaking of the pod driven by the weight and the acceleration of gravity once it takes its pull on the astronauts' pod.

"prepare for impact, atlantis ii!"

everyone is rising up to see the camera pan to the oceanview team who waits for the pod to enter.

"initiating parachute!" and there! the pod appears on the command center's screen in high definition, the mic picking up some of the breeze of the mexican gulf. it enters the ocean with a large plop! and everyone is standing up and cheering.

"successful landing, everyone! congratulations!!"

sunghoon is coming to jake and lifting him out of the chair, engulfing him in the joy that comes from returning the astronauts home. he didn't realize he was staring stupidly at the screen with a blank look and still sitting.

"dude, we did it!" at the sound of his friend's voice, jake mirrors his friend's smile and they embrace each other.

"we did it!" jake replies. soon, he'll finally be able to see y/n in person.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ゜・・゜゜・*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

time on earth: 8:04 am

the next day when he clocks in for work, it's calmer and more exciting. jake can feel it in the atmosphere as the nasa operator walks through headquarters.

he makes his way towards the rehabilitation center for their astronauts, his heart unable to calm down the rapid rate of beating. he hears it before he sees it: the bell-like laughter jake was so familiar with, the one he associated with late nights. his feet is pulled towards the sound like gravity, his strides getting longer and his steps having a bounce to it.

jake hears his name being called happily, and he turns to face the voice with an unstoppable grin before taking steps towards the astronaut going through rehabilitation.

"hey, gravity got you bad, i see."

they laugh joyfully. "i'll be good in about a month or 2—i'm pretty quick at this."

"i have no doubt about that."

the two are silent for a bit as they do a few more crunches, jake crouching down in front of their feet to meet them. it's nice and comfortable between the two as he helps them go through their exercises.

"so about that date..." he starts off, watching as their eyes sparkle like stars upon hearing his phrase. his mouth starts to hang a little, loosening up to have words spilling out without his complete knowledge. "wow... your eyes really do have stars in them..."

they stop as they finish a crunch and reaches out to close his mouth with an eye roll. "close your mouth first, sim jaeyun."

"okay, but what about that date?"

"we're getting it. just wait a week or so when i can walk properly," they say with a teasing smile. jake can't help but to smile back.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ゜・・゜゜・*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

time on earth: 2:57 pm

the only thing keeping his nerves calm is layla. the golden retriever was far from nervous as she sat wagging her tail happily with her tongue out.

"jake!!" he hears from the voice he's come to love listening to over the past few months. looking up from layla while holding her leash tightly, he spots the person he's been waiting for and he's mesmerized, left breathless by what he sees.

a light summery fit adorns their figure as they dash towards him with a puffy pomsky dog equally excited. their smiles are bright and sparkles adorn their eyes as usual, but it doesn't make the effect any less beautiful. they slow down, owner and dog panting a little.

immediately, layla gets up from her sitting position to greet the new guests, starting to sniff the two of them.

y/n laughs as they squat down and let the golden sniff them and their hand before giving her warm pets. "hi layla! i'm y/n, and this is rosie."

the two dogs sniff each other in circles, but soon enough they're bouncing and pouncing each other as if they've been best friends since litter days.

"they're getting along so well, and we haven't even gotten to the park yet," y/n comments with a giggle.

"should we get going?" jake offers. they reply with a nod and holds their leash in one hand, grabbing jake's with the other.

if he's taken by surprise, he doesn't show it, but inside, his heart is pounding more than ever before and his head is screaming in joy. the pair walk together hand-in-hand towards the park with two even happier pups prancing ahead of them.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ゜・・゜゜・*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

time on earth: 4:31 pm

the two dogs are getting a bit tired, it seems, as they walk back to jake and y/n who were talking comfortably, y/n's head rested on his shoulder.

"look who's back from playing," y/n says as they ruffle rosie and layla's head, jake following suit.

"let's go get some ice cream for us and puppucinos for them?" jake suggests.

"ooh! that sounds good!" the pups seem to like the idea too, wagging their tails once more and looking at their owners with puppy eyes. jake thinks he's surrounded by three pairs of puppy eyes as he shakes his head in endearing disbelief.

"let's go then."

once they get to the shops, order, and receive their foods, the four of them sit down and enjoy their treats. the owners laugh at their dogs when they see them lap up their puppucinos with so much excitement and vigor, getting the cream all over their faces.

as the sun sets, it casts its glowing light onto the astronaut-in-rehabilitation, making jake's eyes move onto them. he notices a smudge of ice cream at the corner of their lips and without thinking moves in to kiss it off. y/n blinks their starry eyes at him, reminding him of their first "meeting" over intercom and camera screens.

"i like you," he blurts out. "can i... kiss you?"

"i thought you would never ask," they reply with a wide grin, leaning in to press their lips together before he does.

it's like gravity pulls them towards each other because they can't ever seem to get enough of one another, no matter how far apart they are.
