#so in R&L they actually get married. and this time Blake is excited for their first child instead of hating her pregnancy and planning-

[brokenrealitylooper]

Sun: I don't think soulmates are a thing.

Sun: No such thing as Fate either.

Sun: But us? I made that choice when you came to find me.

Sun: I made that choice a few years ago, really, when I first saw you in Vale; just took a while for you to see, I guess.

Sun: I listen to you, and watch you, and I think I'm figuring you out a little. I keep liking everything I learn.

Sun: I'm really glad you're here, haven't ever seen anyone even close to you. And I'm never looking away from you. You're stuck with me; I'm gonna be so glued to you that you'll think I've always been here.

Ladybug Week: Day 8 - Free Day

A/N: Wasn’t able to contribute for days 6 and 7 unfortunately, but I had a lot of fun with this shipping week nonetheless. I saw this stupid AU that was all “imagine your otp pretending to be engaged for two hours to get free wedding cake samples” and then this happened.

Modern AU, 1.4k words

“I can’t believe you made me agree to this.”

Ruby led her girlfriend down the busy street by her arm, a cheeky grin plastered across her face.

“You’ll thank me once you get a mouthful of delicious cakey goodness!”

“We could’ve just gone inside and ordered like normal people.”

“But this is way more fun! And free. Besides, I declare the both of us enjoy some free cake together!"

Blake felt the corner of her mouth turn up in a small smirk in spite of herself. She couldn’t remember having done anything this objectively silly before, and yet a small part of her was undeniably excited for what this outing could hold for her and Ruby.

“With what authority do you make this declaration exactly?”

”My authority as your girlfriend!” Ruby stated with glee. She finished her teasing with a quick sticking out of her tongue.

Soon the pair arrived at Black Flower Cake Shoppe in downtown Vale. Before entering, Ruby immediately locked arms with Blake, prompting the other girl to stare at her questioningly.

“We gotta make it convincing. Our cover story is you proposed to me by a waterfall outside the city. Oh and we’ve been together for three years now with our pet cat Tulip.”

“Ruby, we don’t even have rings-“

Blake’s observation was cut short by Ruby planting a simple silver ring on her left ring finger.

“I came prepped,” she said proudly.

Blake raised a brow as she examined the ring sitting on her finger. Her inkling was confirmed as she noticed the matching ring displayed on Ruby’s hand.

“You stole these from Yang didn’t you?”

“Shhhhhh she doesn’t have to know,” Ruby pouted in annoyance. Sometimes Blake was too observant for her own good.

Blake hid a giggle behind her free hand.

“Don’t worry, I won’t say a word to Yang,” she assured her.

Satisfied with Blake’s promise, the duo finally entered the bake shop. Blake inhaled deeply as the scent of sugar and fresh pastries filled her nostrils; the prospect of free cake suddenly sounded all the more appealing.

Once at the counter, Ruby prepared to ask the lady at the register about free samples. Much to her surprise however, Blake ended up speaking first.

“Hi, I know this may seem a bit abrupt but my lovely fiancé here just couldn’t wait,” she shot Ruby a playful, pointed look as she spoke. “Would it be possible for us to sample wedding cake flavors today?”

Put off by her girlfriend’s unexpected dedication to her role, Ruby felt her mouth open and close hopelessly as she desperately tried finding words to defend herself. She didn’t get a chance however, as the woman behind the counter smiled warmly at them.

“Of course! It shouldn’t be a problem at all. If you have a seat at one of those tables I’ll have someone bring out some of our best flavors.”

Blake smiled in return as she thanked the woman. Ruby meanwhile pouted all the way towards the back of the bakery where they seated themselves at one of the tables they had been directed to.

“What happened to my cover story and everything?” she harshly whispered to Blake once they were out of earshot.

Blake shrugged innocently. “We didn’t need it,” she said simply followed by a mischievous wink.

Ruby stuck her tongue out at Blake again. Despite the early embarrassment, she couldn’t help but feel giddy over Blake taking initiative with her “plan.”

After a few minutes had gone by, another woman arrived at their table with a large tray in hand. After placing it on the table, Ruby fought to contain her excitement at the various slices displayed before them.

”Our signature flavor is our lemon summer berry which is a simple vanilla cake filled with our homemade lemon mousse and fresh raspberries, over here we have our classic red velvet with cream cheese frosting…

The women’s voice faded to the background as Blake observed Ruby in amusement. Her large, silver eyes clearly hung on to every word that came out of the baker’s mouth as she pointed to and explained each of the slices.

Blake was snapped out of her pleasant observation session when she felt her ankle kicked under the table.

”How did you two lovebirds meet?” the woman asked. Judging by Ruby’s kick, this was likely a repeated question.

”Oh! We met in college actually. We had a literature class together and we-“

”Actually it was an art class,” Ruby interjected. Blake couldn’t conceal her look of confusion as she stared at her girlfriend across the table, a smug look on her face.

”How could you forget how we met?” Ruby continued in mock offense. Blake felt her cheeks beginning to burn as she again became aware of the woman continuing to watch the exchange.

The woman laughed. “Well I’ll leave you two to sort that out. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to arrange a formal consolation.”

With that, Ruby and Blake were left alone with four small slices of cake between them. Blake narrowed her eyes suspiciously as Ruby snickered.

“You deliberately tried to embarrass me,” she stated to her girlfriend.

”Only because you embarrassed me first!” Ruby cried out in defense. She quickly covered her mouth after noticing several people had turned their head to see who was talking so loudly.

Clearly, you don’t need me to embarrass you,” Blake coolly observed as she bought a forkful of cookies and cream cake to her mouth.

Ruby scowled before working on a slice of blackberry lavender cake. Even with her girlfriend’s quips, she couldn’t help but lighten up once the delicious taste of dessert filled her mouth.

”Here, since we’re clearly already bickering like a married couple, let’s try eating like one too,” Blake laughed as she offered Ruby a fork topped with red velvet. Ruby pursed her lips in a playful pout before allowing Blake to feed her the tasty bite.

“Mmm red velvet is always good,” Ruby hummed happily. She then took a piece of the lemon summer berry and held it over the table.

“Your turn,” she grinned.

Blake playfully rolled her eyes as she leaned forward to accept Ruby’s forkful of cake. She bought her hand to her mouth as she felt several crumbs threaten to fall.

“Oh that one is the best easily,” Blake said while pointing to the cake Ruby had just fed her. “Though if I had to guess, you’d probably want the cookies and cream.”

“How did you know?”

Blake smirked in satisfaction as Ruby finished off the slice she had just mentioned.

“Call it a hunch.”

After several more minutes of sharing and deliberating, all four pieces of cake had been consumed. Blake quickly surveyed the bakery to find that they were the only customers inside.

”I guess we can just leave. The tastings are supposed to be free-“

”I say on three we make a break for it,” Ruby cut her off, her eyes glued to the door.

”Ruby, I don’t think we have to-"

”Three!” She shouted in a whisper before grabbing Blake’s arm and making a beeline to the door. Against her better judgment, Blake allowed herself to hastily follow Ruby out the door and down the street from which they came.

Ruby started to laugh once the pair was a safe distance from the bakery. Blake tried to glare at her goofy girlfriend only to find herself laughing alongside her.

”You are an absolutely terrible influence on me,” Blake lightly admonished Ruby as they continued back to the car.

"Don’t act like you didn’t just have the best time ever,” Ruby said lightheartedly as she skipped ahead, still holding on to Blake’s hand.

"Oh, I’m not denying,” Blake said thoughtfully. “I was just going to mention that, since we’re already out, there’s another bakery across town that also does free wedding cake sampling.”

Ruby’s skipping halted as she turned around.

”Blake Belladonna, suggesting we go do the same fun and dumb thing we just did again? I’m in!” Ruby quickly closed the distance between them as she threw herself around Blake in a great bear hug.

Blake smiled as she returned Ruby’s embrace.

"Actually, if we’re going to continue this scheme you started, it’ll soon be Blake Belladonna-Rose to you,” she laughed before bringing their lips together in a sweet kiss.

UNO: Positivity for the first person who comes up when you do @ and the first letter of your muse’s name/alias • EÎS: Positivity for someone you remember from when you first started your blog.

POSITIVITY | always accepting !

UNO (whoops i realized i fucked up the last one and did UN by accident but oh well here we are): positivity for the first person who comes up when you do @ and the first letter of your muse’s name/alias

I HAVE 12 MUSES ON THIS BLOG ! okay i’m gonna do all of them cause why the fuck not ?? i’m gonna put it under a cut because it’s LONG.

e for emma swan  ~ @eternalstud​ - unless i’m mistaken, i believe i’ve been following this blog through every iteration of my katherine… from when she was originally made as beautywithoutmercy, to rebranded as psychkatic, to now on my multi ( & if you haven’t been writing damon that long then i’m mistaken but the following fact remains: ) and i absolutely love their portrayal and everything i’ve seen them write is so great !

k for katherine pierce ~ @knowsdeath​ i just recently started following but am absolutely blown away by their elena ! i will confess that i was never a huge fan of elena as a character but i really do enjoy reading their interactions and the take on the character feels refreshing?? if that makes sense?? but yeah definitely enjoy having them on my dash !!

l for lorelai gilmore ~ @lethalintelligence​ what an AMAZING raven !! i find myself getting sidetracked from doing my drafts when i see their threads with @kingfallen​ ( & really any of their threads ) on my dash. t100 fandom can feel a bit clique-ish at times but this is one writer that has always seemed so nice and welcoming from what i’ve seen on my dash ON TOP OF really great writing !

s for shepard ( since l was already used ) ~ @saltate​ LEAH !!!! talk about someone who has been putting up with me for ages and still somehow wants to keep writing with me and shipping with my muses ! from natasha romanoff putting flowers in sam winchester’s hair, to pain with emery, to ACTUALLY CREATING a husband for my oc, leah has been one of my longest running partners on this site and someone i admire and look up to at all times because of her amazing character development and writing in general

b for buffy summers ~ @beedork​ where do i even start with meg. first of all, i’m gonna keep tagging her in shit until she gets sick of it and writes with me again :P but WHO WOULD’VE THOUGHT a ship between natasha and sherlock would happen?? i mean it came out of nowhere and was WOW intense and then i made moriarty and then she made bruce and it was a chain reaction of ships that i wouldn’t trade for the world !! i think meg might have been the most commonly harassed with the famous “BUT WHAT IF” messages in the middle of the night and she put up with me through it all. trashcan soulmate forever!

j for jamie moriarty ~ @jobikilled WHAT A SWEETHEART !!! not only did i scream about star wars at them before we’d really ever actually spoken lol but one of the first t100 interactions i had on this blog and look, jasper is such a troubled and complicated character with great character development and so !! much !! depth !! and they do such an amazing job at conveying that in their writing i just love it so much !!

n for nina ross ~ @nealonfire so i followed nadia on three blogs before realizing they were all written by the same person ( whoops ) BUT that’s a testament to her writing and portrayals of different characters. i love the interactions we’ve had so far ( even if sabine keeps trying to fry porgs…… ) and the mutual bond we have through giving bren a hard time on an almost daily basis. i look forward to much more in the future :D

t for triss merigold ~ @trickstercaptain i think i’ve been following lottie almost as long as jack’s blog has been in existence because wow A++ portrayal. i’m gonna tell a secret that’s not really a secret because i have a pirate verse for almost every character - i KIND of have a pirate obsession. but we just started writing together recently and i am SO EXCITED for the story to unfold between jack and nina !!

a for anne bonny ~ @anaxpraetor listen y’all, one day i’m going to kidnap and marry linds because reasons. but ANYWAY another one of the first people i ever shipped with in the indie world. she created this ouat verse for john and we quickly created this story between he and emma that was beautiful and heartbreaking and to this day is one of the most important stories of any of my characters. john is canon to my emma and always will be. and linds will always be one of my favorite people on this stupid site

r for rey ~ @relaxdcrling i feel like there are a lot of tvd/to muses on this list and I AM HERE FOR IT. kol is honestly one of my favorite characters. his volatile nature and sass was always something i enjoyed so much and their portrayal of him is so great ! we haven’t interacted very much ( yet ! ) but  i can’t wait to see more :D

o for octavia blake ~ @outlawiism we’ve written a bit on my black widow blog but despite being an amazing peter quill i just want to say that anytime a mun spreads positivity regularly it is SO NICE TO WITNESS and this particular writer seems to be constantly trying to be positive and kind to other people in the community. like honestly an inspiration. and of course ON TOP OF THAT what a GREAT starlord!!!

b for betty cooper ~ @bigbwvlf we’ve been writing off and on through a couple of different blogs of mine and i absolutely ADORE their bigby. first of all, i hadn’t been really familiar with fables until a couple of years back but after i played the telltale game i started reading the graphic novels and i really enjoy the stories. and likewise, i REALLY enjoy their portrayal ! i’m super psyched to see how the sort of strained relationship between bigby and triss develops !!

EÎS: positivity for someone you remember from when you first started your blog.

why YOU of course !  let’s talk about the fact that we’ve basically shipped in some way or another on all of our blogs at one point in time. usually it just happens and it never feels like unusual even though it often comes out of nowhere lol. you added luke and alice to your blog and even if it wasn’t totally for me i am going to pretend it was because and ily forever for doing things like that !  i’m not familiar with a lot of the characters on your multi but every character i’ve seen you take on is written so well and you obviously put so much love and thought into each and every one of them.   let’s also talk about how you put up with my shit, both ic and ooc, despite the fact that i’m satan, and despite the fact that i disappear and am antisocial and terrible at keeping in touch. you have the best reviews for my blog promos and  PLUS you are always willing to share your ice cream and sushi with me so you are actually the real MVP

It Ends with Us

Colleen Hoover | 4.43 avg rating — 102,769 ratings

SOMETIMES THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU IS THE ONE WHO HURTS YOU THE MOST. Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up — she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true. Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily, but Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan — her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened. With this bold and deeply personal novel, Colleen Hoover delivers a heart-wrenching story that breaks exciting new ground for her as a writer. It Ends With Us is an unforgettable tale of love that comes at the ultimate price.

Colleen Hoover | 4.24 avg rating — 89,690 ratings

From bestselling author Colleen Hoover, comes a new novel about risking everything for love — and finding your heart somewhere between the truth and lies. Auburn Reed has her entire life mapped out. Her goals are in sight and there’s no room for mistakes. But when she walks into a Dallas art studio in search of a job, she doesn’t expect to find a deep attraction to the enigmatic artist who works there, Owen Gentry. For once, Auburn takes a risk and puts her heart in control, only to discover that Owen is keeping some major secrets from coming out. The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it. The last thing Owen wants is to lose Auburn, but he can’t seem to convince her that truth is sometimes as subjective as art. All he would have to do to save their relationship is confess. But in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin…

Written in My Own Heart’s Blood (Outlander, #8)

Diana Gabaldon | 4.50 avg rating — 64,646 ratings

In her now classic novel Outlander, Diana Gabaldon told the story of Claire Randall, an English ex-combat nurse who walks through a stone circle in the Scottish Highlands in 1946, and disappears . . . into 1743. The story unfolded from there in seven bestselling novels, and CNN has called it “a grand adventure written on a canvas that probes the heart, weighs the soul and measures the human spirit across [centuries].” Now the story continues in Written in My Own Heart’s Blood. 1778: France declares war on Great Britain, the British army leaves Philadelphia, and George Washington’s troops leave Valley Forge in pursuit. At this moment, Jamie Fraser returns from a presumed watery grave to discover that his best friend has married his wife, his illegitimate son has discovered (to his horror) who his father really is, and his beloved nephew, Ian, wants to marry a Quaker. Meanwhile, Jamie’s wife, Claire, and his sister, Jenny, are busy picking up the pieces. The Frasers can only be thankful that their daughter Brianna and her family are safe in twentieth-century Scotland. Or not. In fact, Brianna is searching for her own son, who was kidnapped by a man determined to learn her family’s secrets. Her husband, Roger, has ventured into the past in search of the missing boy . . . never suspecting that the object of his quest has not left the present. Now, with Roger out of the way, the kidnapper can focus on his true target: Brianna herself.

Disavowed from his bloodline, shunned by the aristocracy, he has found an identity as a brutal fighter in the war against the Lessening Society. But his life is not complete.

Blay, after years of unrequited love, has moved on from his feelings for Qhuinn. And it’s about time: it seems Qhuinn has found his perfect match in a Chosen female, and they are going to have a young. It’s hard for Blay to see the new couple together, but building your life around a pipe dream is just a heartbreak waiting to happen. And Qhuinn needs to come to terms with some dark things before he can move forward… Fate seems to have taken these vampire soldiers in different directions, but as the battle over the race’s throne intensifies, and new players on the scene in Caldwell create mortal danger for the Brotherhood, Qhuinn learns the true meaning of courage, and two hearts meant to be together finally become one.
