i think meeks should be allowed to have three sisters and a single mum... as a treat. bonus points if all of the sisters' names also begin with 'st' - i know thats like the most cliche thing ever but i think her mom would be silly like that alright
i imagine her having a twin sister, named stephanie, (who is older by like, an hour) and two older sisters, named stacy and stella (four years older and seven years older respectively)
"what about her dad??" i am choosing to pretend that her father simply does not Exist™ because i think it's funny if all of the dead poets had some form of daddy issues

tom blyth being obsessed with his girlfriend: a compilation
this was inspired by @astranva’s famous blurbs, love you and miss you novs <3
MASTERLIST | MY PATREON
It seemed like the entire world was crushing on the same man: Tom Blyth
Unfortunately for those who watched The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and came out of the theater in love with the man who played Coriolanus Snow, he was happily taken and loved to talk about his girlfriend any chance he got, which lead to fans making several compilations about the times he was a simp over his girl.
The most popular video was a 10 minute and 33 seconds compilation, which had around 445k views.
It started with Tom's interview with Good Morning America to talk about Billy the Kid, the interviewer asking about how he prepared for the role.
"It was during the pandemic, like any actor during that time I was just hoping that the world came back to normal so I could start making a cent," everyone in the set laughed at this, "I was living with my girlfriend YN in a barn house and we were like chopping wood every morning and visiting my friend's ranch. So when I got the part I kinda felt like I was ready for it."
"Your girlfriend, you say," one of the interviewers said making Tom smile right away, "Did she help you prepare for the role too?
"Of course she did, she's my biggest supporter ever."
The video moved to show some behind the scenes of Songbirds and Snakes footage, Tom dressed in his peacekeeper costume and dancing around while Rachel recorded him.
"See this moves?" he got closer to the camera, "I used them to charm my girlfriend."
"And I doubt they worked." Rachel laughed behind the camera.
"She loves me so I'm pretty sure they did."
The next thing shown was Tom sitting next to Hunter as they did an interview for Rolling Stone, the crew just asked about their thoughts on Olivia Rodrigo's single for the movie.
"I love Olivia Rodrigo," Hunter cheerfully said, throwing her arms up to the air, "The new album is so good."
"I'm a big fan as well," Tom joined in, "My girlfriend YN, she's obsessed with her, plays her songs all the time."
"Just so everyone knows, YN is like the coolest person ever," Hunter said, making Tom smile, "She brought us snacks on set so many times, such an angel."
"She's the best."
The following footage was Tom and Rachel's rapid-fire questions with Vogue.
"Can you guess where this is from?" Rachel asked holding up a card that showed a zoomed in picture of a suit.
"That's my Prada suit from the London premiere," Tom asked confidently, Rachel confirming that he was correct, "My girlfriend YN loved that suit, that's why It's one of my favorites."
"Oh I miss YN."
"So do I, so do I."
Next clip was Tom's interview Stephen Colbert, who just asked him if he was a fan of the books growing up.
"I was such a huge fan, I grew up watching the films. My mom and sister used to go to opening weekends to see the movies," the audience cheered at that, "Actually, for my third date with my girlfriend I took her to see the last movie, so getting to play a young president Snow is a real honor."
The video quickly moved to show the lat clip, one of Tom's interviews at the London premiere of the movie.
"Are you here on your own? No date?" The interviewer said once Tom finished answering the previous question.
"I'm here with my girlfriend, actually," his face beamed as he spoke, "She's probably somewhere taking selfies with Hunter, those two are like best friends."
"Is she close to your cast mates?" the interviewer asked again.
"Definitely, they try to steal her from me and I can't blame them, she's the best."

From the author: Taglist is OPEN, just leave a comment or send me a dm xxx
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter Notes: First major canon divergence. Tony and Steve meet in early 2001 as Tony had taken over for Howard in SHIELD after his death. Let’s not think about it too hard. By the end of 2001 they are established in a relationship. And early 2002 they find out about the pregnancy. Reader is born in August of 2002.
It might be a bit annoying to have the reader be so flushed out as that can distract and make it harder to insert yourself into the story but…the timeline bro.
Word count: 1114
Chapter Content Warnings: Child neglect-Mentions of Howard Stark who is a bad dad. Reader's mother is very uninterested in the reader after the birth homophobia-Steve talks about being with a man in the 40s and it is lightly implied that it was not safe pregnancy-Tony gets a woman pregnant alcohol-Steve and Tony drink beer Stony-Steve and Tony are a couple
Chapter Summary: This chapter establishes the relationship between Tony and Steve and explains how the reader came to be. Reader is the product of a one night stand from Tony prior to becoming exclusive with Steve. Reader’s mother, Katherine, is a scientist working to recreate the super serum. She is described as cold and unattached.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1
Tony really tried to hate Steve when they first met. Truly. For reasons he found completely justified.
His dad was an ass.
And as far as he was concerned, that was Steve’s fault.
It ended up being impossible to hate him though. Because he was just so damn nice.
Which made Tony irrationally angry.
Steve wasn’t all that impressed by Tony. He hadn’t been all that impressed with Howard either though.
He didn’t really have any particularly strong thoughts or emotions about Tony.
He was mostly baffled Howard had had a kid.
He never seemed like the type.
Regardless
They both had a strange pull toward the other.
Like the other was a connection to something long past.
Steve is someone who knew Tony’s father, who he had grown up hearing about.
Tony was Howard’s son. And though he was rarely on the same page as him, he had still been a friend. And Tony was the closest thing to something from home.
They somehow ended up as something akin to friends.
Neither were great at the whole sleeping, or self care in general, thing, so there were lots of late nights, lots of long talks, lots of secrets shared. They spoke of Tony’s dating life, Steve wanted to know just how similar Tony was to his father. And during one of those talks, after some light teasing about what Steve must have gotten up to back in the day, Steve admitted that he and Bucky had been in a relationship.
Tony wasn’t exactly surprised.
“So, you’re gay then?” He asks him. They are sat on the floor of Tony’s lab, a half eaten box of pizza between them, and beers in their hands.
“I’m not sure I’ve ever really needed to label it.” Steve admits. “I just knew Bucky was my person.” He shrugs.
Tony understands this at some level. The not needing a label, not the other thing.
“You don’t have to label it.” He says, possibly trying to put Steve at ease. “I never have. I just like…the people I like.” He says. “I’ve never committed myself to someone the way you have though.
Steve nods slowly and sips his drink. “Don’t you get lonely?”
This causes Tony to pause.
He’s never really alone. He never really allows himself to be. Like he needs a buffer between him and his head. There are plenty of people, both in and outside of his bed. He’s popular. He’s desired, wanted, sought after. He’s never lacking in people who want to give him their time.
He finishes off his drink.
“Yeah.” He says finally.
Things change between them after that night. Like there was a newfound understanding between them. Both were tired of being lonely.
It starts out as just sex. Which was new ground for Steve, and he struggled with it for a while. Until he realised that his struggles weren’t from it being casual sex, but that he was developing feelings for Tony and didn’t want it to be casual sex.
Steve had always been pretty straightforward, but he still struggled a lot with the thought of confessing. He wanted to keep Tony in his life and was worried he’d run at the mention of commitment.
But its been over a year since they met. And months since they started sleeping together.
So he just…tells him one night.
He lacked some elegance in it if he was honest with himself.
Blurting out “I want you to be my boyfriend” while you’re balls deep in someone isn’t exactly tactful.
But it worked out okay for him in the end.
The universe is a bit fucked up though.
Because just months later Tony comes to him with life altering news that neither of them had been prepared for.
And with that news Tony brought an out.
“You didn’t sign up for this.” Tony says quietly.
“No, but neither did you.” Steve responds. He’s never seen Tony so…sullen. So conflicted.
“I knew the risks of fucking someone without a condom.” Tony says bluntly. “This was always a possibility.” He lets out a breath. “I…I’m gonna step up. I’m gonna be this baby’s dad. But you don’t have to be.” He says quietly. “I’ll understand if you go.”
Steve lets out a breath and takes both of Tony’s hands. “I was in love with a man in the 40s. Tony, I gave up on the idea of having children before I was even old enough to consider them in the first place. They were never an option.” Tony goes a bit pale. “But that doesn’t mean I didn’t want them.” He continues. “I knew who I was getting involved with, Tony. And if having you means having this baby then I guess we’re going to be parents.”
And it’s as simple as that.
In August of that year their daughter was born.
Their daughter’s mother was someone Steve had never met, prior to going to the hospital when she went into labour. But he knew her name. He’d learned her name, read about her. Read about a lot of people like her when he had looked himself up. He learned that there were a distressing number of people trying to recreate Erskine’s original serum. This woman, Katherine, was one of them.
She was a tall, slender woman. Stereotypically beautiful but almost hollow looking. Like there was something missing inside of her.
He doesn’t remember her ever holding the baby. She hardly looked at her. Something told him she had no interest in being a mother but somehow went through with the pregnancy anyway.
But he didn’t dwell on it. He didn’t care.
Because if this precious, tiny, perfect baby girl wasn’t reason enough…the way Tony looked when he held his baby was enough to make him ignore the slight concern he felt over the way Katherine was responding to motherhood.
Tony was built to be a father.
He was so perfect with her. And Steve had never been so fond of another person.
All his outward, arrogant facade broke down the second he was with their girl. She had him wrapped around his finger.
And Steve was no better.
He knew he was in trouble the first time they’d ever made eye contact.
How could he ever say no to this tiny girl?
Katherine was clearly not interested in being a mother to her daughter. She made no fuss when Tony asked if the baby could live with him. She wasn’t breastfeeding, and the baby was clearly more attached to Tony. But despite their request, she wouldn’t sign over her parental rights. Therefore, physical custody was shared between Katherine and Tony.

Taylor Swift Eras themed Legacy Challenge
i wanted to put together two of my favorite things: the sims and Taylor Swift. so i came up with this 10 generation legacy challenge in which each generation is inspired by a different album. I created this challenge for the sims 2 ultimate collection since that is the game i normally play, but i am sure it can be adapted for sims 3 or sims 4. i also implemented the traits project for ts2 but you can easily do the challenge without it using different personality points. i set up this challenge so that each generation alternates genders but you can switch that up. i also chose first names for each generation based on references of the album. also some of the writing is very cheesy and has a lot of references because why not go crazy. this is my first legacy challenge so if you have any critiques let me know. the rules are not strict and cheats can be used as its a story-based challenge.
Debut- Gen 1: Mary
“Take me home where we met so many years before.
We'll rock our babies on that very front porch: After all this time, you and I”
You grew up in a small town where everyone knew each other. Your parents never had the greatest relationship and your mom was always with her best friend. Since birth you and her kid have been inseparable. Will you fall into the same patterns as your parents…or will you find a place in this world?
family/romance
LTW: reach golden anniversary
nurturing, jealous, loves the outdoors, great kisser, family oriented
marry your first love
have 2 children (at least one son)
formal wear is a little black dress
Fearless- Gen 2: Stephen
“You played in bars, you play guitar
I'm invisible and everyone knows who you are”
Your parents raised you well but something about the fact that they only ever knew each other scares you. You want to get out there and make a name for yourself. You know no ones coming for you on their white horse. You’ll have to be fearless to become a superstar: but for now all you have is your mothers eyes and her old guitar.
fortune/pleasure
virtuoso, charismatic, irresistible, ambitious, non-committal
LTW: become rock god
go on at least 5 first dates
have at least one daughter
date a fan
Speak now- Gen 3: Emma
“When Emma falls apart, it's when she's alone
She takes on the pain and bears it on her own”
You often felt overlooked by your rockstar father. He was always busy and you spent most of your time with your mother until her mysterious disappearance. You feel like you grew up too fast, and now you love to travel back to your youth and fantasize about castles and dragons. So you become an actress; a character. Will you break out of your fathers famously destructive patterns, or will you regain your balance on the tightrope and break out before fire can catch you?
popularity/romance
LTW: Become Icon
natural born performer, childish, bookworm, shy, hopeless romantic
your first love doesn't work out/ you break their heart
have at least one son
have a strained relationship with your father but a good relationship with your mother
meet your true love at a party and then never see eachother again
Red- Gen 4: Bobby
“How you took the money and your dignity, and got the hell out
They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere
Chose the rose garden over Madison Square”
You grew up in the starlight of your mothers fame. You two were always close but after suffering from the tabloids and the camera flashes you decide this life is not for you. You move out of the Angel City and start anew. Your mother has given you some funds and you build up a family home. You tell everyone you left because the city wasn’t right for you… but maybe it was partly to run from your playboy/girl ex who you know was trouble. Now you spend your life painting and searching for your muse. Will you stay paralyzed by time or finally begin again?
Knowledge/family
LTW: become visionary
artistic, eco friendly, night owl, loves the cold, loner
Have an on and off toxic relationship
Move out of your parents house
Settle down with someone nice
Have 3 children (at least one girl)
1989- Gen 5: Love
“You searched the world for somethin' else
To make you feel like what we had
And in the end, in Wonderland, we both went mad”
You grew up secluded from the world, surrounded by your mothers paintings. Your mom loved the environment but you couldn’t wait to get out of the woods and explore new places. Somewhere along the road, you fell into a rabbit hole of insanity: mascara running in the bathroom and rose gardens filled with thorns. You blow money and string lovers along. You have fantastic delusions until your wildest dreams turn into nightmares. Will you accept the help from your family and abandon your affinity for screaming, crying and perfect storms? Or will every day continue to be a battle?
knowledge/pleasure
LTW: Become space pirate
Insane, unstable, diva, adventurous, jealous
Join the adventurer career
Have 3 loves at once
Have children with multiple people (one must be boy/girl twins)
Lose money in poker
Reputation- Gen 6: Burton (the name is so bad help)
“I don't like your kingdom keys
They once belonged to me
You asked me for a place to sleep
Locked me out and threw a feast”
Yeah, your mother may have done a number on you, but who's counting? Maybe your twin sister… Everything you did, she just had to do better. In the wake of your mother’s madness, you turned to dancing. You found peace in swaying as the room burnt down. Your twin sister on the other hand hated how you were lit up every room you walked into, but you couldn’t help it. There's nothing she hates more than what she can't have… so she turned to sabotage. Just when you think that your life is perfect- you're at the top of your career and you finally found love- your sister starts a rumor that you cheated on your love. Your reputation as a famous dancer goes down in seconds. But to your surprise, your lover isn't reading what they call you lately and your relationship is stronger than ever. Will you get revenge on your sister and become exactly what you despise, or sit back and let karma take over?
Popularity/romance
LTW: Become world class ballerina
Party animal, irresistible, social butterfly, hot headed, unlucky
Be enemies with your twin sister
Never be unfaithful
Have a bad reputation
Have at least one daughter
Lover- Gen 7: Cornelia
“I’d be a fearless leader, I'd be an alpha type
When everyone believes ya, what's that like?”
You've always known you wanted to change the world. Who cares if you were overlooked and discouraged. Snakes and stones won’t break your bones. You never had a big family as your father walked away from his. Sometimes it gets lonely trusting the wicked, and your loyalty was often a fault. You turn to politics to combat your feelings of helplessness, but no one takes you seriously and you feel lost in the light. You have to start from the ground up with the help of your best friend. You start to build your picture-perfect life: the kids, the lyrical smiles and the power. Will you drive away your lover by searching for their dark side, or will you put aside your ways and find the daylight?
Popularity/family
LTW: Become mayor
Good, easily impressed, brave, unlucky, perfectionist
Fall in love with your best friend
Have 10 best friends
Have children (at least one son)
Folklore- Gen 8: James
“I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting
I didn't know if you'd care if I came back
I have a lot of regrets about that”
You grew up trying to meet the expectations of your politician mother. Everything had to be picture perfect, even your private life. So she set you up with the daughter of one of the most powerful families in town, Betty. At first you are skeptical, but over time you fall for her integrity and affinity for old cardigans. Along the way you begin to feel stuck, tired of the sensual politics and your mother’s watchful eye. That's when you meet August -the polar opposite of Betty- and some part of you has to know what she is like. You meet in parking lots and dive bars, but after Betty finds out, you realize that summer is dwindling. In wake of losing two girls, you turn to writing: poetry and sad prose. You get lost in your stories, but once you start to gain traction, you can’t help but wonder how different your life could have been. Will you rekindle your wild flame with August or go back to the peace you felt with Betty?
knowledge/ romance
LTW: Publish 5,000$ best seller*
Great kisser, coward, bookworm, brooding, commitment issues
Fall in love with Betty
Fall in love with August
Confess to cheating on Betty
Write novels
Move into a cottage by a lake
Finally choose the one girl
Have at least one daughter with her
Evermore- Gen 9: Ivy
“And the skeletons in both our closets
Plotted hard to fuck this up
And the old men that I’ve swindled
Really did believe I was the one”
You always resented your father because he abandoned the good life for a cottage in the woods and his stories. You don’t want that; you want power and wealth. You don't need love, just a fancy car. So you turn to crime, because it’s easy for you; you love the gold rush. You con men and no one will ever prove it. You marry rich men and inherit their money when their time runs out. But then one day you meet your match, a fellow criminal, and wonder if this life will really bring you happiness. But you realized this a little too late, and now you're forced to drink your husband's wine… but he was the wrong guy. Will you leave the life of crime behind or will you stay frozen in time?
Fortune/pleasure
LTW: Gold digger
Kleptomaniac, genius, charismatic, mean-spirited, rebellious
Go into the criminal career
Marry a rich sim
Fall in love with a criminal and have an affair
Have a son
Midnights- Gen 10: Snow
“And I don't dress for villains
Or for innocents
I'm on my vigilante shit again”
You knew your mom wasn’t the most ethically-correct person. You like to think you inherited her better half; but that isn’t entirely true. You are determined to be different, so you become a spy; you get the satisfaction of working for the good guys and the pleasure that comes with great wars. Being a spy is difficult though, and you never know when things could go wrong. You are constantly burning files and deserting old lives. But you’re a mastermind, nobody can deny that. You finally meet your perfect person, but it's hard concealing your true occupation from them. You have money and respect… But can all of that pay for someone to just know you?
Fortune/knowledge
LTW: Become head of the SCIA
Perceptive, disciplined, loner, proper, daredevil
Join the intelligence career
Move homes at least twice
The rest is up to you since it is the last generation
*50 new LTW mod can be found here
if anyone decides to do this challenge tag me! i'd love to see it

Prompt: 9 (Part 1)
Character: Dr. Strange (Character B)
Genre: Comedy/Fluff/Light Smut(if inclined)
OMG I'M SO SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO POST IT! Life got in the way and I had to stop writing for a while, but I'm back now! Thank you for your patience and I hope this silly little fic finds you somehow after all this time anon💕
I loved writing this one! I tried my best to combine the above-mentioned genres as best as possible, but idk, I hope I did a good job. I feel like I wanted to make it more of a crack fic at the start but then I got carried away and ended up being more spicy. I literally had to stop myself from turning this into a full on smut lol I hope you like it anyways!
THE CALL || STEPHEN STRANGE X READER
Summary: During a girls night you are challenged to leave a dirty message for Stephen Strange as part of a game of truth or dare. You accept without much thought, the alcohol in your system stopping you from realizing that your relationship would never be the same after that.
Warnings: suggestive tones, alcohol consumption, attempt at humor, teasing, a bit of dirty talk, name calling (whore) implied smut
English is not my first language
Word count: 4300
This fic is part of my 600 followers celeration
The girls' night was Wanda's idea. After the stressful mission you had been through, hanging out together to relax and gossip was exactly what you needed to recover. Nat and you were a little tired, but eventually gave in after Wanda convinced Hope and Sharon, who happened to be in the avengers' compound when you arrived, too. So you all changed into your comfiest pajamas and, after kicking all the men out of the living room, you all settled down on the couch with a cheesy rom-com playing in the background as you chatted.
The tiredness and tension disappeared from your body as you laughed with your friends, joking and listening to their love problems. It was nice to switch off your brain every now and then and act like you were normal people, worrying about trivial things instead of thinking about the problems affecting the world. It kept you sane and restored your faith in humanity. There was nothing that improved your mood like hanging out with your friends just eating junk food and talking about stupid things.
You were having a good time, drowning in pizza and ice cream while laughing, but when Natasha started mixing drinks things started to go off the rails. With the alcohol levels in everyone's blood rising the conversation became increasingly more chaotic and wild, confessing embarrassing secrets and constantly telling one another how much you loved each other. It wasn't long before someone suggested playing truth or dare and everyone agreed, far too drunk to think about the consequences.
The first few rounds were uneventful, consisting mostly of silly truths and the occasional simple dare such as taking a shot or doing something to annoy one of their teammates. However, as the rounds progressed and the alcohol got into your systems, the game got out of control. And when your turn came you regretted your choice of dare as soon as the words left Natasha's mouth.
"I dare you to send Strange a dirty voicemail." The redhead looked at you with a mischievous smile. Her arched eyebrow challenged you, wondering if you would even dare to accept her proposal. She knew how you felt about Stephen, she'd had to listen to you ramble on multiple times about him and his perfect face that looked like it had been carved by the angels themselves. She knew you liked him, but she also knew you were never going to make the first move. So she thought the best thing to do was to give you a little push —well, it seemed small in her alcoholized mind.
"No way!" you groaned, refusing to participate in the game. You weren't drunk enough to ignore that voice in your mind telling you that this was a bad idea.
"You can't refuse!" Wanda interjected. "That's not how it works!"
"If you do, you'll have to drink from the mystery cocktail and you don't really want to do that, trust me." Sharon said, remembering the horrible taste of the mystery drink Natasha had prepared as punishment for chickens who didn't complete the dares. She didn't know what the fuck she'd put in there, but it tasted awful.
"Fine!" You gave in to peer pressure. "But it'll be anonymous!" The last thing you needed at that moment was to have to face the consequences of such actions. What Natasha didn't seem to want to understand was that your hesitation to confess to Stephen how you felt about him didn't just come from a place of fear of rejection, it was much more complicated than that. You could handle rejection, what you couldn't handle was continuing to work with him after such humiliation. Stephen was an avenger, so before you did anything you had to consider how it might affect the team.
"That's fine by me!" Nat aceptó y las demás chicas la siguieron.
"But I'm going to need a drink before I do this."
You took a sip of the strongest drink on the table, feeling the sting of the alcohol as it went down your throat. You needed a lot of courage to do what you were about to do, to lower your inhibitions to the point of losing your sense of shame and self-control. You weren't as intoxicated as you would have liked to be —you were definitely going to remember this in the morning—, but you figured it was for the best. You still needed to be able to speak clearly and form coherent sentences, two things that would be impossible if you kept drinking. So you rested your now empty glass on the table and picked up your phone, ready to get it over with for good.
"It has to be good!" You heard Wanda say as your fingers awkwardly searched your contacts for Stephen's number, making sure to set your number to private and encrypt it before doing anything so he couldn't trace the message back to you. "You have to talk like you mean it."
"Yeah! If he doesn't get a hard on after listening to your voice then you failed the dare." Natasha added and you threw one of the couch cushions in her face.
"That doesn't make any sense! You can't possibly know the effects it might have on him." You complained, pointing out your friends' exaggeration. "He might not even open it."
"Oh I'll know," Wanda assured you, giving you one of those mischievous smiles that sometimes made you question her mental sanity.
"Whatever," you said, rolling your eyes. "Any other requests before I do this? It's now or never." The girls shook their heads, giving you the green light to proceed. You took a moment to mentally prepare yourself, clearing your throat and blurting out a few words as you searched for a new tone of voice that sounded sultry yet different enough from your normal voice to throw Stephen off.
Before tapping on his contact on your phone you tried to focus on him and how he made you feel. His cocky smile was the first thing that came to your mind, the one he gave you every time his plans worked out after you questioned them. That smile drove you crazy. His lips in general drove you crazy. You spent more time than you'd like to admit imagining what it would be like to feel his kisses on your skin, caressing every inch of your body. You wondered if his tongue was as skilled at pronouncing incantations as it was at bringing pleasure to a woman. The mere image of his face buried between your legs, devouring you like a starving man was enough to make your center drip with need.
His hands were the next thing that popped into your mind, the way they moved in the air with precision each time he casted a spell. You loved watching him work, you got completely lost in your thoughts as you silently admired him, imagining how his hands would feel on your body, touching each curve with delicate sensuality. You were convinced that he really knew what to do with his hands to have a girl screaming his name in seconds, those skillful fingers of his were good for more than magic and you were dying to feel them exploring the deepest parts of your being.
Once you let your imagination run wild it was easy to find the right words to complete your dare. You didn't even have to think too hard about keeping a different voice, the low, sensual tone came naturally to you as you left a message for Stephen detailing everything you wanted to do to him —and everything you wanted him to do to you. You tried to control yourself since your friends were in the room with you, carefully choosing your words so as not to reveal so much about your true fantasies. But you made sure he knew how attractive you found him and how you were willing to let him do whatever he wanted to you.
The moment you hung up, all the girls burst into hysterical laughter, theorizing about what Stephen's reaction would be when he heard your message in the morning. You were buzzing with euphoria, too intoxicated to feel embarrassed, so you laughed with them. Your confused mind wasn't able to comprehend that you were the one who would have to face the consequences of your little game. That was a problem for the Y/N of the future and at that moment the next morning seemed to be far in the future. All that mattered to you at that moment was to relax and enjoy the evening, laughing with your friends. And that was exactly what you did until at some point you fell asleep on the living room couch.
When you woke up in the morning you regretted all the decisions you had made the day before, from accepting the first drop of alcohol to sleeping on the couch. Now not only did you have a headache that barely let you think, but also your whole body felt stiff due to the awful position in which you had slept on the couch. You grunted as soon as you felt Tony's voice, no doubt speaking louder than necessary to annoy you as he paced around the kitchen preparing breakfast. You hated the open concept building design more than ever at that moment, missing walls that separated the living room and sheltered you from the sound.
"I hate you." You winced when he came over to ask if you were going to have breakfast. He sounded so cheerful and amused while you were miserable that it made you angry. Your head was pounding and your stomach was upset. However, the smell of freshly brewed coffee coming from the kitchen forced you to get up, reluctantly dragging yourself into the kitchen where Nat, Wanda and Sharon greeted you with tired looks.
"Seems like you ladies had quite a night." Steve said with a smile, grabbing a cup of coffee and sitting down next to you. His hair was still wet from the shower, probably because he had gotten up early to go for a run like he did every morning. You never really cared about that, but this time you couldn't help but look at him like he was crazy for daring to do such a thing. The very idea of moving at a speed faster than a zombie made you want to vomit.
"Remind me to never drink again." You grumbled, taking one of the pills Nat had passed you. Sharon agreed with you, complaining about how the world still seemed to be spinning around her.
"What the hell did you put in that drink?" She asked Natasha, but the redhead just laughed.
"Shhh, can you guys stay quiet? My head is killing me." Wanda interjected, raising her head to give everyone a pleading look before plopping back down on the marble of the island.
Everyone's condition improved considerably after eating a lot of greasy food and drinking a lot of water. It also helped that the medicine kicked in, although you were still feeling tired and slightly sore. When you regained some of your good mood and will to live you went back to the living room, settling down on the couch with a cup of hot coffee in the hopes of watching the tv until your energies were recharged. However, your plans were ruined when you discovered that someone was already there. And not just anyone, but Stephen Strange, who was talking to Tony while holding his phone in his hand.
Memories of the night before came back to you in a series of flashes that replayed in your mind like a movie. You stared in horror at the men in front of you, wondering if Stephen had gotten your message yet. You sat as far away from them as possible, focusing on your coffee as you tried to listen to their conversation. Your strategy was to be discrete and play dumb if their eyes at any point caught on you, but when you saw Natasha walk into the living room you knew your plan was out the window.
"What are you guys talking about?" The redhead interrupted them, "Expecting an important phone call?" She added, looking at the phone in Stephen's hands with a raised eyebrow.
"Our favorite wizard here got a spicy message from an encrypted number and he needs my help to figure out who this mystery person is" Tony explained with amusement in his voice and Stephen gave him a murderous look.
"Thanks for the discretion, Tony."
"Spicy how?" Natasha pressed the issue to see if she could get Stephen to give more details, especially about how that message had made him feel.
"Oh you have to hear it, this girl did not hold back." Tony said and you choked on the coffee you were drinking. He had heard it! "She was really grateful to him for saving the world and wanted to give something back to him, if you know what I mean."
"We all know what you mean, Stark. You're not very subtle." Stephen rolled his eyes. "And give me that back." He snatched the phone out of her hands before she could pass it to Natasha to listen to the message. "Can you help me or not?"
"Why do you want to know who this person is?" Nat teased, looking at him with a raised eyebrow. "You really liked it, huh?"
"No! I just... I'm concerned it might be a stalking situation so I want to know who this person is." Stephen tried so hard to sound confident, but even you were able to notice the hesitation in his voice. He was making excuses. He was at least intrigued by the message and that made you feel a strange sense of pride. Even though you were a little drunk, you had managed to get his attention with your words and your sensual voice. Sure, he didn't know it was you, but that didn't matter to you at the moment, the confidence slowly building in your system didn't let you think about it.
"Hey! No one is judging here." Tony spoke up. "If I were in your place I would like to know who this mystery person is too."
Stephen let out a sigh, rolling his eyes. "Just let me know when you get something."
He stormed off, leaving you with a million unanswered questions and a strange feeling in your stomach. Tony ran after him and Natasha took advantage of the fact that you were alone to give you a gentle push to get your attention. You moved your gaze from the door through which he had disappeared to look up at your friend, who was looking at you with a playful smile.
"He's crazy about you." She stated but you downplayed it, saying he was only interested because he didn't know it was you talking on the other end of the line. However, you couldn't help but feel a little flame burning inside you. You felt confident and for the first time since you had met Stephen you felt you had a chance with him.
The next time you saw Stephen was during an Avengers meeting to discuss a possible mission. You barely paid attention to what Steve was saying, too distracted by the perfect profile of Stephen sitting next to you. The sunlight coming through the large windows illuminated his face in a special way, giving him an ethereal aura that made it impossible for you to look away from him and those ridiculously sharp cheek bones he had. It was torture to have him so close looking like a Greek god and not being able to do anything about it. Your new found confidence hated it. It took all your power to control your urges, striving to calm your wild fantasies at least until Steve let you out of there.
You were so lost in your own thoughts that you didn't realize the meeting was over until you saw the other team members disappearing behind the door. Soon it was just you and Stephen in the large conference room. You gave him a quick glance and noticed that he was looking at his phone once again. You wondered then if he was waiting for another message from you, if he was as crazy about that mysterious voice on the other end of the line as he seemed to be. It was pretty hard to contain your urges at that moment.
"Any new leads on your mystery person case?" your voice alerted Stephen, who looked up from his phone to rest his gaze on you.
"No, Stark hasn't called me yet."
"Is that what you were checking on your phone while Steve talked?" You asked him, getting up from your seat to move closer to him, settling against the table right in front of his chair. "If Stark had called with any leads?"
There was something in your tone of voice that alerted Stephen, a sensual undertone he had never heard in you before and it made him wonder what you were getting at. He had felt your eyes on him throughout the meeting, he always did, but for some reason this time it felt different.
"Why do you care so much?" He countered, looking at you with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm just curious as to what has you so distracted lately." You faked innocence, shrugging your shoulders. "Was it really that good?"
"Excuse me?" Stephen was surprised by your sudden audacity, though he couldn't say he didn't find it intriguing.
"It seems to me that you're desperate to hear that voice again." You leaned closer to him, lowering your head to be at his level. Your eyes were locked on his, admiring the dark shadow in the icy blue of his orbs. He held your gaze as the tension in the air intensified, curious to discover what your next words would be.
"I can help you with that," you added, using the same low, sultry tone you had used in the message. "Even better, I can show you just how hot I think you are... how desperate I am to feel your hands all over my body, using your powers to restrain me and do whatever you want with me."
If your voice hadn't already given you away, repeating the words you had said to him in the message definitely had. His eyes grew wide, looking at you with a mixture of surprise and confusion. You had never seen Stephen so perplexed and you had to admit that it felt good to be the cause of that. You were used to it always being the other way around. You used to be the one who was speechless every time he gave you a smile, it was nice to have the power for once.
Stephen was not an easy man to silence, even in the strangest or most stressful situations, he always found something to say. But now he was speechless, looking at you in complete astonishment as he tried to process the situation. It wasn't just discovering that you were the mysterious person he was looking for that threw him off, but also the confidence you exuded. He had never seen you act that way before, though he would be lying if he said he didn't like it. He couldn't stop his mind from running wild, imagining every detail of the message that occupied his thoughts but now with you. Never would he have imagined that behind your innocent look and shy attitude was an imagination as dirty as his.
"I can give you what you want, all you have to do is ask." Your warm breath would collide against her earlobe when you spoke, giving her goose bumps. Your perfume assaulted his nostrils with every breath he took, intoxicating his entire system with your scent. He felt dizzy, his mind clouded with desire and anticipation having trouble concentrating.
However, when you turned away from him, walking towards the door to finally get out of there, his brain snapped out of it. Raising his hand in the air, he conjured a kind of glowing lace made of pure energy that closed over your wrist, stopping you on your feet. With a gentle push he managed to turn you around to face him as he used his other hand to close the door to the room and pull down all the blinds with a simple flick of his wrist.
"Where do you think you're going? I'm not done with you yet. We're just getting started." Stephen said to you with an arched eyebrow. You noticed a hunger in his eyes you had never seen before, the cool blue of his orbs almost completely consumed by the black in his dilated pupils. It ignited a flame inside you, a warmth spreading through your stomach as you carefully analyzed Stephen's body language, trying to predict his next move. All your arrogance and confidence disappeared under his intense gaze. You were like a deer caught in the headlights, frozen in place waiting for his next reaction.
All he had to do was pull the glowing leash and you were forced to move closer to him once again. You would have lost your balance had it not been for his grip on your waist, successfully trapping you between his body and the edge of the table. You had nowhere to run, though you really didn't want to.
"Who would have thought that behind that cute and innocent act there was such a dirty whore, desperate to be seen?" Stephen's voice was condescending, mocking, as his cold blue eyes pierced into yours. It made you feel small and insignificant in the face of his imposing figure, your cheeks heating with the blood that was quickly pooling there from the embarrassment of being so exposed. He finally knew the truth, you were a dirty whore desperate for his touch.
"I never would have guessed you were the voice on the message saying those dirty things." He was barely touching you —his fingers trailing up your arms to your shoulders, following the line of your collarbones before descending through the space between your breasts—, but that was enough to quicken your breathing. And every time you inhaled, you breathed in his intoxicating scent, a mixture of his cologne and the aroma of his own essence that made your knees weak.
"I was hoping it was you. The first time I heard those words I closed my eyes and imagined you acting out those fantasies. I got so hard just imagining it." As if to emphasize his words, Stephen pressed his hips against you, letting you feel the bulge beginning to grow in his pants. You couldn't contain the moan that escaped your lips, a pathetic whimper that put a smile on Stephen's lips.
He was enjoying the growing anticipation, having fun with your suffering. He was torturing you as retribution for your mysterious little message that had had him going crazy all this time, forcing you to experience the same desperation he did, using only his voice to arouse you. You hated it and loved it at the same time.
"You have no idea how much I wanted it to be you...but then I thought it could never be, you're a good girl and good girls don't use that vulgar language." You looked down, unable to hold eye contact with him any longer as you felt the embarrassment taking hold of you. But Stephen didn't let you off that easily, taking your chin in his hand to force you to look at him. "Tell me, were you really so desperate for my attention to leave that message? Were you so desperate for me that you pushed aside your good girl attitude and manners to expose the whore you hide inside you?"
His voice was a husky whisper against your ear, his lips almost brushing against sensitive skin seductively. The ghost of his touch was driving you crazy and his dirty words traveled straight to your core, that throbbed desperate for attention. You could feel his presence, the warmth of his body against yours, his imposing gaze, the subtle caresses of his fingers on your skin, but it wasn't enough. You needed more to satiate your need for him, much more.
"Yes," you managed to mumble. Your voice sounded much more pathetic and desperate than you expected, but that didn't really matter. On the contrary, Stephen seemed to enjoy it. "I'm tired of hiding it, I need you Stephen... I need to feel your touch." You were practically begging him, asking him to have mercy on you and give you something to calm the flames burning inside you. But he just laughed. His warm breath hit the sensitive skin of your neck, giving you goosebumps. Your hands ran up his chest, determined to get for yourself what you needed as he refused to give it to you. If he wanted to torture you, it was only fair that you retaliated. Two could play that game.
But before you could go much further, Stephen pulled your hands away from his body, binding them behind your back with the same magical bond he had used to draw you to him. It was tight around your wrists, but not too tight, just enough to make sure you couldn't move easily. He wanted control.
"Oh, I'm going to give you what you so desperately want, don't worry about it, darling." He murmured against your lips, brushing them with every word he spoke. "But first I have to teach you a lesson... you see, you have to be more careful about what you wish for, because it can become real."

IWTV rewatch
Season 1 episode 4 [The Ruthless Pursuit of Blood With All a Child's Demanding] - part 2/2
- [Claudia] "We do like mortals do. We fight, we eat, we laugh, we sleep, we love. And then the phone rang last night. And all the easy times stopped." - ooof. How to destroy familial domesticity: bring back the real world.
I love, love, loooove Louis' coldness and casual cruelty at his mother's wake. And looooove the family solidarity. Oh, Daddy Lou's fighting with his sister? Time to show our fangs and have his back.
- Oooh, a Lestat and Claudia scene! Dad teaching his kid all the true, important ways to make it in the world. And accidentally making her realise some things she'll never get to have, stuck as she is as a young teenager. But the blood kinda makes up for it tho.
- "Uncle Les says I gotta practice killin' both the one and the plus one at the same time, but I came away understanding something else tonight. I can't quite put it into words, but it's like something opened up in my head, in my body. I've been 18 for 7 months now, and it's time I started acting like it."
Aaaaand there it is. Happy hunting indeed. Happy until the reality hits back...
"I've lost my appetite, I can't sleep!" - welcome to hormones. Can't say I know first-hand what you're going through but good luck. Oh, no, but this is waaay too adorable. The giggling and the skipping and the flowers and the staying on the balcony waiting for Charlie to look up...
- "Everyone in my family looks younger than their age." - yeah that's one way to put it I guess.
Aaaand exit Charlie, pursued by a terrified horse. Taking this opportunity to say a lil something about how book!vampires are basically asexual in the way that their desire and pleasure express themselves through the blood, blood drinking and blood sharing. While the show being a visual media for a modern audience decided to make human sexuality also a part of vampire sexuality, all while keeping the blood as this irresistible force and the source of everything. Don't really have an opinion one way or another, except to say, please we need more asexual representation that still shows that ace people can find and express desire and pleasure outside of sexuality.
- Lestat taking on the ugly role of teaching Claudia about control and how it's hard for vampires to make lasting connections with mortals... Parenting's hard.
- [Louis] "Vivid writer, isn't she" - I'm kinda glad we don't get Claudia's own words about Charlie's death, knowing the writers they would have given us another lyrical prose that would have made us all bawl our eyes out.
The way Daniel is visibly impacted and heartbroken reading Claudia's diaries: he is deeply compassionate. And you can't read people and write about them without a certain level of compassion and even empathy. "Anne Frank meets Stephen King" indeed.
- [Louis] "Claudia was... everything." - ouch. Break my heart, won't you. It's the way Louis is physically struggling to talk about her, the way he needs the pebbles of his zen garden beneath his feet to anchor himself solidly enough to talk about her.
- "It's funnier when they fight in French. And diary, you'd think a girl whose mama died in childbirth, whose daddy gave her away to a mean old auntie who beat her 'cause no one said she couldn't, who died in a fire but came back by the blood magic of two demons, well, you'd think that girl wouldn't know what funny was. But you'd be wrong, diary. And if I told you, dumb diary, that that same girl was being raised to kill like her demon parents did, to take two souls a day so she could stay in the same flat-chested, hairless-crotched 14-year-old baby doll body as her mind and spirit turn 19, 20, 25, 63, 358, you dumb, dumb diary, I bet you'd say to anyone who'd listen 'Fun? Fun? How does she even get up in the morning?' Well, let me tell you something, you stuck-up, flower-covered, three-dollar fancy fucking paper diary, I'm doing just fine. And how do I know that? 'Cause the first man I killed called me the devil, and the last boy I killed, the last boy I'll ever love in this world, called me an angel. So that means I'm on the right path. And that means there's so much more fun out there to have. I'm just getting started."
THE INTENSITY, DAMN.
The crescendo of Claudia's voice overlayed by the music and echoed in the angrier and angrier words. Wow, I need a minute.
Between the "losing my mind in the coffin" scene, that "madwoman in the attic walking down from the attic" scene and the "the sun is a deadly laser" scene, someone needs to give Bailey several awards. And the writing team needs these awards too.
Show!Claudia actually has a backstory, not very detailed but still there, a miserable, painful human life, 14 years of misery and pain - she had a life, she had experiences before becoming a vampire; unlike book!Claudia who was 5 when she was turned, told Louis she couldn't remember her human life before being Louis and Lestat's, and doesn't have her own narration in between Louis' recollections.
Here, the addition of the diaries to the way the story is told not only allows a third party, a third perspective that's no more and no less of an unreliable narrator as Louis' voice, but it also, and I think more importantly, allows for Claudia to speak for herself. She isn't anymore just a footnote in the messy romance of Louis and Lestat. She is her own person, in her own narrative, with her own agency and life. And that's a huge difference between the two versions of Claudia: eternally-5-year-old Claudia couldn't have her own agency, no matter that she was really 40 in a child's body, because that child's body was more of a damnation, a cage, than a teenager's body. At 14 and with make-up, fashion, body language and speech, Claudia can make herself look marginally older, and thus can reclaim some of that agency, of that control. Therefore the issue comes not from the fact that Claudia needs at least one adult to have that agency by proxy, but from the fact that she might never pass for older than 18 and will be taken advantage of. As we'll soon see.
Also she was right, last boy she loved, but not last person, we stan a bisexual murder deranged queen.
And I did tell Lestat, that roof window is a structural failure.
Well, welcome to the Claudia show. That was one hell of an entrance. Crowd's seated for the next part, "Claudia goes Wild party in the Mississippi".

Kamar-Taj
Summary: Stephen Strange needs your help to defeat The Scarlet Witch but nothing goes as planned..
Warnings: 18+ONLY, sex, detailed sex scene, fingering, penetration, strap-on, public sex
I prefer to warn : English is not my first language, I am still trying to learn it. I apologize in advance for any spelling mistakes. This is also my first attempt at writing a story (I don't know what I am doing to be honest) and I'm a little ashamed of the mediocrity of it. But I hope to improve very soon. Have a good read!
It's been a long time since you haven't heard from Doctor Strange. Not that you mind, you never tried to contact him again since the last time you saw him, four years ago. And yet, the weight of those years only made you feel increasingly vulnerable. You owe him and you hate that.
You had found yourself in an unfortunate situation, which had put you and your loved ones in danger. You asked for help from all the wizards you knew, but it turned out that the only one who didn't turn his back on you was Stephen Strange. He was the only one to reach out to you, it is largely thanks to him that you are still alive today. You owe him a lot.
However, it is well known that nothing is free in life.
That's why you weren't surprised when you found out the identity of the person who rang your doorbell. Stephen Strange stood on your porch with a strict look in his eyes and his arms hanging down.
« Stephen Strange, what a surprise! » you say with a smile on your face to seem confident.
« Nice to see you y/n » an awkward silence took place as you unconsciously found yourself detailing him from head to toe. All these years and he hadn't changed that much.
You stepped back slightly so that he could get in « come on in, make yourself at home ». You took him to your lounge where you sat down on your big black leather sofa at a reasonable distance from each other. You could notice that he was detailing the nooks and crannies of this room, letting his eyes linger on the paintings hanging in the walls.
« Can I get you anything? Are you thirsty? » you ask him while standing up with the aim of going to see in the fridge what you can propose him. But you are suddenly stopped by Strange's voice.
« No, sit down. I don't plan to stay long. I have to talk to you about something important » he replied, while scratching the back of his neck uncomfortably. He was trying to look as calm as possible, probably not to scare you. You understood then that something serious was going on.
« Have you ever heard of The Scarlet Witch? » your eyebrows rose in amazement. « Of course I know her! Well, not personally but everyone has heard of her at some point » a perceptible excitement could be felt in your tone of voice. You wanted to hear more about her, about one of the most powerful witches in the universe.
« Well, let me tell you that it is not only a myth. The Scarlet Witch is now present in our universe and could destroy it. »
He then told you everything he had to say about The Scarlet Witch, how dangerous and powerful she was. She wanted to kill a child with the sole purpose of stealing her powers.
To be completely honest with yourself, you got a little lost in his words. You did not perceive the reasons that could have pushed the witch to this point of no-return. Doctor Strange had mentioned something like « fake children » and a « robot husband ». In spite of your incomprehension you did not dare to intervene. All these words seemed to be full of meaning coming out of his mouth. You didn't want to look foolish. After all, you understood the essential part, didn't you? This witch was a threat that had to be eliminated.
«Y/n, you know why I came. I need your help » he blew quite low. « You must help me save the girl, and the universe for that matter ». He claims, while standing up, expressing the end of this conversation. He was waiting for an answer. Obviously a negative one was not an option. That's why you answered with confidence « you can count on me, I will help you ». By way of an oath, you shake hands and look into each other's eyes.
Your instinct immediately told you that you had made a mistake, but you decided not to listen. What do they say? Oh! Yes... « Trust your instincts. Intuition doesn't lie ».
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you first arrived at Kamar-taj, you broke out in a cold sweat from head to toe at the sight of all those wizards.
There where hundreds, if not more, all busy and frantic. There was so much movement that you didn't know which way to turn. You stopped for a moment to look around. You had forgotten how huge the temple was and it seemed even bigger with all these people.
You could hear their thoughts, they were overwhelmed with their emotions. Most were terrified at the very thought of the Scarlet Witch. It was quite difficult to see clearly, the sky seemed to get darker and darker. Was it the wizards' state of mind reflected in the sky? Or was it one of the famous witch's tricks to scare you? You don't have a clue.
Suddenly a loud noise piercing the sky startled you, followed by a howl « Operational! ». It was a witch who was probably testing the effectiveness of the cannonballs. It was imperative that you channel your anxiety, but with all these people running around it was going to be hard.
« Follow me » Stephen commanded you, as he mingled with the crowd. He managed to make his way with ease, which you did not because most of the people around you don't seem to mind getting in your way.
You are elbowed in the ribs by a wizard who was walking very fast. He didn't even have the courtesy to apologize or give you a look. This had the effect of aggravating your annoyance.
You finally manage to reach Stephen who is accompanied by the Supreme Master. « Wong explains our strategy to her, I’ll go check on the girl » he explained as he walked towards the entrance of the temple. You still hadn't met the famous child and you were dying to.
« Let's see who's back! Are you planning to expand your library? » asked Wong while laughing. He apparently remembered very well the time you tried to steal books containing dangerous spells that are only available to the Supreme Master. You snuck in during the night thinking you could do it so easily. Luckily for you, Wong never blamed you. Still he had assigned you to the worst household chores for over six months. You had to admit to yourself that you missed the temple.
« You still remember it » you murmur with amusement. « Always » he returns your smile and then adds « it's good to see you again. You know you're welcome here, right? » a questioning look takes over his face. He really wants to make sure you know you're one of them. Wong always wanted you to fit in. « I know » you smile sincerely touched by his words. « But I'm still mad at you for never coming to visit me » you added with a false air of annoyance. « I could say the same thing » he said « But I have an excuse, I have to manage a whole temple. What's your excuse? » he smiled, knowing full well that he had got you with that one. You're both laughing at the same time. « Now come, l'll show you where you'll be placed ».
You walk towards some steps that lead you to an upper floor. You have a bird's eye view of all the wizards. Wong explained the strategy and your role in it. You were accompanied by three other wizards.
After making sure you understand all the instructions. Wong walked away, leaving you and your sidekicks. One of them then approaches you, a smile on his face. He looks quite nice and very confident. Before he can even open his mouth to speak to you, he is cut off by a shrill cry that makes each of the wizards present tremble.
« Wanda is here! » everyone turned in the same direction. You quickly realized that Wanda was the name of The Scarlet Witch. The vision that was happening in front of you made your blood run cold. You could feel the terror rising in you and in those around you. A huge red smoke was spreading as it headed towards you. It was such a powerful, deep, red. You don't know how to explain it. You could feel the rage emanating from it even at that distance.
Doctor strange entered your field of vision, trying to calm the troops who were running in panic to get to their posts. « We need to be in cohesion if we are to beat her! Get ready wizard » he exclaims. He could not completly hide his own apprehension. You feel fear coming from him, he is afraid of the outcome of the fight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Time seemed to stand still. You felt like she was doing it on purpose. Wanda probably liked to know that your fear only increased as the wait went on. You were all at your posts, in combat position, ready to react at the mere sight of the witch. You had come to terms with using her first name. A petrifying silence had taken place in the temple, you could hear the breathing of your teammates.
What seemed like an eternity later, a shadow emerged from all the fog. She was finally there, the most powerful witch in the world was only a few feet away from you.
Your eyes couldn't leave her even though you couldn't see her very well. You wanted her to get closer. Everything was quite dark, the clouds were heavy, everyone was very quiet and the tension was at it's peak.
The red smoke began to disappear, leaving you with a better view of the witch. She was terrifyingly beautiful, if that's possible. The kind of beauty that frightens. An angelic face that makes you want to trust her, but an evil smile that betrays her true intentions. She looked like a witch like you have never seen before. You could feel all her power deep in your soul. She was so powerful, you could sense it. Her presence is enough to make you lose your balance slightly.
Time resumed as you saw Stephen rise into the air to speak with Wanda. He was probably trying to persuade her to turn around and give up. But only a fool would think that would be enough. Unfortunately, from where you are standing you can't hear their discussion. You can only see Wanda's face which seemed to have become gloomy, sad.
Then all of a sudden, she tilted her head gently, bringing back her little mischievous smile. Her evil aura took over. You had a gift for sensing these things. Her mind began to think so hard, hatred was filled in it. You soon realized that today you were not going to fight against one witch but against two. Wanda and The Scarlet Witch.
Suddenly Wanda violently attacked Strange with her powers. Rage through her eyes could be seen from where you were standing. However, the shield of magic you had prepared in advance protected him. It was supposed to be powerful enough to protect the entire temple from any attack. The way it shook in response to the witch’s constant attacks made you doubt it’s effectiveness. You needed much more to stop her.
« Strengthen the shield! » shouted Wong. As you predicted, the shield was not enough. You all concentrated in unison to combine your strength.
A grunt came from Wanda’s lips, she was getting impatient. Then…nothing. Calmness took it’s place. She stopped attacking. For a moment you thought she would give up. If only..
She could feel your powers from where she was, they called her. She stopped all movement to plunge her gaze into yours. You were there, among all those wizards trying to stop her.
Your big, frightened eyes, fixed on her, would cause the loss of this temple. She decided that you would be the one to ruin everything.
She focused on you, only on you. You were the only one who existed for her at that moment. And she was determined to get inside that little head of yours. « Fortify your mind! » was the only thing you heard before everything disappeared.
A strange feeling came over you, everything was a blur. Your vision seemed to drift. You were still in the same place, but you seemed to move. It was your mind, it was being dislocate. A parasite was trying to take control of your being, to get inside your head.
You suddenly felt a grip on both sides of your hips. A presence was behind you. It seemed to want to dominate your mind. And this indescribable smell invaded your nostrils. You were dying to smell more, it was addictive.
An evil aura was in your mind, it was filled with malice and lust. That’s when you realized that a demon was by your side. Wanda was right behind you, you could feel her lips against your ear whispering indecipherable incantations. One of her hand slowly began to move down the outside of your thigh and caressed it. With her other hand she moved your hair to gain access to your neck.
You couldn’t help but let yourself go. Her voice was so soft and she made you shiver with every exhale. The way her hands caressed you made you forget everything. « That’s it relax, let me into you », you could only concentrate on her Russian accent that sounded so good, her husky and soft-spoken voice, and especially in her hands that gently caressed you.
Your head felt so heavy. You had to push her away and as fast as possible but her presence was so appreciated by your body. An inner battle took place between your desire and your reason. You couldn’t let her into you.
« You’re going to do everything I tell you, okay? » she took your hands in hers and you couldn’t help but squeeze them as if you were about to fall into the void and she could save you.
« Use your words, answer me » she whispered in your ear and slowly brushed her lips over your neck. « Get out of my head » were the only words you managed to say. And all of a sudden you push her out of your mind. You don’t know how you had the mental strength to do it but you did.
You take over and open your eyes violently. The first thing you saw was her. Still on the air, she was staring at you, looking surprised and even annoyed. She didn’t like it when you pushed her away. A smile that you can’t control takes place on your lips. You felt proud and powerful, you had managed to repel such a powerful witch. You felt the previous passage of her lips still on your neck, giving you shivers in your lower stomach. You wiped your neck violently to try to detach yourself from the sensation.
The witch did not seem to appreciate your little victory, but she would soon put you in your place.
Upset, she turned sharply and fixed her gaze on another wizard. You couldn’t tell who, there were too many people. But no more than five seconds later, he took off running, giving Wanda the opportunity to cross the shield.
Chaos then took over. You all started to attack her under the orders of Wong. Strange had rushed into the temple to join the girl. Everything went so fast, you all realized how dangerous things were. Wanda was attacking one of the towers directly while deflecting each of the attacks that were thrown at her.
You absolutely had to protect the cannons that managed to do great damage to the witch. But Wanda received a big cannonball and by rage, she killed all the witches you had to defend. You are shocked at this vision of horror, their bodies propelling themselves to the ground and Wanda does not even take notice. She killed them without remorse. Cries of horror are heard from all sides. She doesn’t even take a break and attacks other wizards directly.
You are not used to seeing this kind of scene, which is why you felt so nauseous. You even had the impression that one of them was looking in your direction. You must avenge them! Caught up in the adrenaline, you were no longer afraid of anything.
It was time to use your powers to stop her. You concentrated on her and inflicted an immense pain that made her scream. She got up rather quickly and gave you a dark look, which could have killed you by itself. She started to walk with a sure and fast pace in your direction. You began to back away quickly while not letting go of her gaze. However, you were not alone. Wanda had not yet killed all the wizards. One of them managed to touch her and immobilize her with his powers. You took the opportunity to get inside her head and prevent her from using her organs properly. She couldn’t take in any more oxygen and was chocking to death.
You though you had succeeded but she got up with difficulty propelling everything nearby at the same time, including you.
A kind of red smoke appeared around your neck chocking you while you were still on the ground trying to soothe the pain caused by the fall. You felt yourself being lifted into the air, your hands being forced behind your back. You could not move « stupid girl » exclaimed Wanda. « Look what I’m going to do. You’re the one responsible for this! » she spat these words in your face. Her Russian accent became much more pronounced.
Wanda brutally and bloodily killed a group of wizards who were still down from the shock. You shouted, hoping that this would stop the witch from continuing. But this made her smile.
« Please! Stop! » Wanda strangled a young wizard to death. « You tried to kill me maliska! You almost hurted me ! » she answered with an ironic tone.
She killed the last remaining wizards, one by one, forcing you to watch. You tried with all your might to get out of your bonds but nothing could be done.
« The best for last » Wanda brought you back to her with her powers and let you fall to the ground. You let out a groan of pain.
« You know I’m still waiting for an apology for what you did to me earlier » she pulled you up by your hair, forcing you to look into her eyes. Her look was playful, she did it all for fun.
You spit in her face out of hatred. She had killed all your people. Even though you didn’t know them, it was still traumatic.
« What a bad girl. I’ll have to teach you some manners » she laid you down with force, your back meeting the stony ground hard. A groan of pain broke through the barrier of your lips. « I like that sound » smiled Wanda, now kneeling between your legs. You could hear her thoughts and they were so inappropriate.
You couldn’t do much being bound by her powers. « You are a monster! Leave me alone » you shouted, struggling as best you could.
« You’re the one trying to stop a mother from being reunited with her children » she pressed your head hard against the floor, you felt like it was going to explode.
« Stop please! I beg you! It hurts » you can’t do anything but beg her and hope she takes pity on you.
« So now you feel the pain you put me trough earlier. Do not do to others what you would not want them to do to you ». She took again your head in her hands, she was practically lying on you. You thought it was your time, you were going to die here, unable to defend yourself. Your head smashed against the ground.
But in a last useless attempt, you pushed strongly your hips against her to try to move her. This caused the witch to release her grip. She glared at you « I’ m tired of you ». Still placed between your legs, she stood up lightly « let me think about a painful death. You made me waste too much time » she strangled you with all her strength. You recalled the movement that had allowed you to push her away. You only wanted someone to appear and save you but no one came.
« Do you do it on purpose detka ? » she asked you with a smile. You couldn’t answer, feeling the lack of oxygen. You could feel death taking you away. She released your neck just in time. You took a huge gulp of oxygen and then started coughing endlessly.
Wanda, on her side, took your legs and opened them more widely, placing her hips well against yours. She starts to move back and forth against you. You don’t realize it right away, too busy trying to stabilize your breathing. « Rule number one, when I try to get inside your little head you don’t push me away ». You were wearing thin pants that allowed you to feel all the friction.
You were so weak, you could barely move. « Will you let me do all the work maliska? » she asked as she took your hips in her hands and moved you against her. You wanted more, but you didn’t want the witch to notice. You try your best to control your moaning.
As if that wasn’t enough, Wanda started showering your neck with kisses. Fear of being caught dominated your desire, you pushed your head back and forth to try to push her away. « No please » you whispered not being able to use your voice properly.
Wanda stopped all movement. She remained fixed on you probably reading your thoughts. « No one will see us, look they are all dead » she stepped back slightly to let you contemplate all the dead bodies on the floor. You felt so disgusted to want her in such an inappropriate place and time.
« I bet you’re already all wet for me, come here so I can check ». You feel your hands being released from their grip and instead of using them to push her away, you don’t move. She pulled your pants off violently and plunged her hand into your underwear. « So wet » she smiles at you, you notice that darkness taking over in her eyes. She withdrew her hand too quickly, you wanted to feel that touch again.
She stops all movement and looks into your eyes. You have the impression that she has this power to freeze time. She intimidates you and you don’t even dare to breathe. Her gaze slowly settles on your lips and without you expecting it she kissed you violently. You can’t contain yourself and kiss her even harder.
You don’t know what is wrong with you but you can’t wait, you want her to touch you. So you take her hand and guide her once again into your panties. However, she doesn’t move, so to feel that friction against your clit, you start to move your hips while moaning softly.
She stops the kiss and watches carefully what you do without acting. She then slowly starts to circle against your clit, making you moan with relief.
« Let me do it » she whispers while sliding two fingers of her other hand into your mouth. Without even giving you any instructions you start to suck on them. She spreads your saliva on your clit « fuck » you already want much more when she had just started, you want her fingers deep inside you.
« please », you sound so desperate.
« what do you want? » she asked you while slowing down her movements. She was playing with you. You were her little game, her little break.
You groaned with discontent, still not being able to say what you wanted, you were ashamed. « Use your cute little mouth to tell me what you want or I’ll stop » she threatened. You could feel yourself getting wet at her touch.
« Please » was the only word you could pronounce. « You can do it baby. What do you want? » she was so sweet which threw you off even more. « Please, I want your fingers ». While continuing to play with your clit, she used her other hand to push two fingers into you. You were so wet that they slipped easily. « Was that so hard to say? ». You shook your head from side to side, her fingers felt so good inside you.
It goes too slowly, so you allow yourself to push your hips to speed up the movements. She gave you a dark look that made you stop immediately. However, it is quickly replaced by a small smile, she has an idea in mind and you are dying to know it. You try but you can’t get inside her head, probably because of your lack of concentration.
While gently fingering you, she uses her magic to make all your clothes disappear. You are completely naked in front of her. She leans in gently and kisses your chest.
« You are beautiful » you can feel that her evil aura has dissipated slightly, explaining this change in behavior.
She starts to suck on your nipple which makes you let out a long moan. You dip your hand in her hair and guide her to your other needy breast.
Her fingers go deeper and deeper into you and are less and less delicate. She starts to be quite rough. « Wait please can you » she stops you from finishing your sentence by pulling her fingers violently away from you and covering your mouth. You can feel her demonic aura returning and more present than ever. « Rule number two, you don’t try to get in my way, use your magic against me again and I’ll make you regret it ». You feel something quite big enter you. Your eyes widen in surprise. Wanda’s eyes are still on you, she opens her mouth slightly and frowns while slowly pushing her hips against you. You both moan at the same time. « Oh fuck » she moans.
You don’t have time to question the origin of the thing with which she penetrates you that she starts to go back and forth more and more quickly making you cry out in pain « stop wait! ». Your words do not cross the barrier of her hand still present against your mouth.
« Let me ruin that little pussy » she continues her movements and the pain finally gives way to pleasure. You feel a desire in you to explode, to come.
She whispers in your ear « you are such a whore, you get fucked in the middle of all these dead ». She slowly withdraws making you protest loudly « no please please, fuck me! ».
You finally saw the identity of what was penetrating you, a strap-on she had created with her magic. It was huge and a bloody red color. You were such a mess at that moment, ready to do anything to feel her strap deep inside of your pussy again. She began to rub your clit with her strap while kissing you deeply.
Your orgasm was still close. She then pushed two of her fingers deep inside you without you expecting it and started to fuck you at a crazy speed making you scream.
It was so violent that tears formed in the corner of your eyes. « Say my name » she ordered you and like the little whore you are you repeated it « Wanda, Wanda it’s Wanda! » your voice trembled. At the moment when you thought you were finally going to come. She withdrew her fingers and you began to cry in frustration, trying to move your hips against her strap. She began to strangle you violently, preventing you from breathing. Your orgasm was ruined.
« Listen to me, if you get in my way again I won’t hesitate to fuck you in front of Stephen and show him what a whore you are who wants to be fucked ». She let go of her grip around your neck and started to suck on her fingers while staring into your eyes.
Shame started to take over and you put your hands in front of your eyes hoping this was just a dream and you would wake up. You felt her lips against your cheek, she gave you a kiss and then her presence disappeared. A few seconds later you withdrew your hands and saw her enter the temple.
There you were, in the middle of all those dead people, in full view of anyone, completely naked. You felt so dirty, but you had to pull yourself together and help Stephen stop the witch ! What had just happened was an unfortunate event, which you had to erase from your memory.
You stood up and stripped a dead man naked to take his clothes. The guilt was already eating you up inside.
You ran into the temple to bring help..

Chapter 3
Warnings: None. (Will however be a 18+ reader book)
Copyright: I do not own any Marvel characters or locations. However, I do own a few OCs like Elizabeth, Katherine, Stacy, and Jessie. I do not condone any copying of this.
"Seriously, where were you?" Your sister demanded, arms crossed, looking down at your slumped frame against the door.
"It's a long story. Like a long, long story." You muttered, getting your feet, trudging past your younger sister to get to the kitchen, "What's for dinner?"
"I thought you came home from work early?" Y/S/N scrutinized.
You sighed. "I did. Then I went for a week. I mean a walk. And I met my soulmates."
"All of them?" Y/S/N asked incredulously.
You nodded.
"So why are you so glum? Was it to painful hearing all of their names at once?"
"Am I glum?" You questioned in surprise. "I'm not unhappy. . . just surprised and a little overwhelmed."
"Do you like them?" Y/S/N asked.
"Oh yeah, they're great." You responded, trying to figure out how you would categorize them. "Everyone likes them."
"Who are they?"
"The Avengers."
Silence.
She snorted, "Y/N-"
You sighed, holding your arm out. "Spider-Man dropped me off."
Silence again.
"How much do they know about you?" She asked.
"Nothing. And I know nothing about them."
"Oh, well I got a song that could help with that. It's called We didn't start the fire. It's a lovely little song, lets you know small tidbits about the superheroes."
"Ah." You muttered.
"So, who all did you get?"
She sat down across from you, taking your arm into her hands. "Oh my God Thor? Lucky bitch. Oh my God and Tony Stark and the King of Wakanda and Steve Rogers? Oh, but you got Loki and Bucky though."
"They're not that bad." You said with a frown. "Loki was actually very. . . sweet."
"He tried to take over Earth."
"Minor character flaw?"
"And Bucky is a trained assassin!"
"Because HYDRA messed with his brain." You pointed out. "Not him himself."
"Mm, fair enough. Are you sure you'll be okay around them though?"
"Why wouldn't I be?" You felt your feathers being ruffled slightly as your younger sister had a go at some of your soulmates.
"I'm just saying, some of them are dangerous. And they work in a dangerous line of business. If the wrong people found out that you were half- probably more than half- of the Avengers soulmates, you could be a target!"
"It's not like I have a choice!" You snapped. "They're my soulmates and that's that. I can't change it. I can't just walk away from it. Alright? I would give anything to be normal and have just one, maybe two soulmates. You know I've always covered these up. You know I've never wanted an entire freaking orgy of soulmates!"
"Alright, chill girl." Y/S/N said. "I'm just saying, you're going to have to be prepared. It's not everyday you find out your soulmate is the King of Wakanda."
"Right." You murmured.
"And for dinner, Y/S/BF/N (Your sister's boyfriend's name) and I are going out for dinner." your sister finished. "You're welcome to join us, of course."
Though they were married, she wasn't quite eighteen yet and wasn't allowed to move in with him until she turned of age. However, if soulmates found their mate before eighteen they were allowed to get married at the earliest age of sixteen. However, they had to be eighteen to live together.
And the reason that we weren't with our parents was because. . . well that's a whole other story.
"I'll cook." You yawned, not even sure if you were hungry.
"Alright." She said, dancing out of her chair and heading for the front hallway, "See you when I get home."
The door closed behind her.
You sighed, getting out of your chair to pad into the kitchen. Opening the cupboards and refrigerator, you went easy on yourself and threw together a small meal of Y/F/F.
*Meanwhile at the Avengers Compound*
Tony, Stephen, Thor, Loki, Steve, Bucky, Sam, Clint, T'Challa, Rhodey, and Fury all sat in a large living room like room.
"I can't believe we all have the same soulmate." Rhodey sighed. He was very simple, liked everything simple. He would've been pleased to have a soulmate that was with him and him alone. He'd always liked having only one band. Just the two of them and a family. Well, now things were just slightly- a lot- complicated.
Tony rested his chin on Stephen's shoulder, "I'm not sure why you're surprised. We've all seen each other's wrists everyday. We all knew we'd have the same soulmate. The colours always changed at the same time and everything."
"We'll have to keep an eye on her." Fury said, always in survival mode. "Make sure that she's a safe person to have around, and make sure that she's never in danger."
"You worry to much." Clint said.
"Why don't we just invite her into the tower?" Steve asked. "We have plenty of rooms upstairs."
"We did just meet her. . . six hours ago." Loki deadpanned. "I doubt she'll be highly receptive to move in so early."
"I'm already planning weddings in my head." Thor announced happily, munching on a pop tart.
Loki groaned, putting his head in his hand. "To fast, much to fast."
"We could all just spend some one-on-one time with her, or as groups." T'Challa suggested. "Stephen and Tony. The three of you. Thor and Loki. Clint and Rhodey. Fury and I. That way we're not overwhelming her with to many people that she needs to get to know. And we can also get to know her better than if all twelve of us tried to get to know her at the same time."
"That's a good idea." Sam said, shrugging.
"I'm more worried about your guys wedding." A new voice said from the doorway. Dr. Banner stood, leaning in the doorway.
"Come again?" Rhodey asked.
Bruce sighed, walking forward, folding his glasses up to stick in his pocket, "For example, Nat and I. When we got married, she got a bit of my hulk strength and in return, I got some of her flexibility. We have two gods, two super soldiers, and one immortal here. I don't know how exactly that'll work on her body. Not to mention, the fact that Fury is bonded to Agent Hill means that she will get something from Agent Hill as well, even though they're not bonded. Like how Fury got a trait from Coulson even though they aren't bonded, because Coulson and Hill are bonded."
"Is there even a way to make sure she doesn't get our more. . . dangerous traits?" Bucky asked quietly, his metal hand clenching into a fist.
"It's random." Bruce said with a shake of his head. "You'll just have to wish luck. It's not like you can put it off, you know. You have one year to court her and a second year to get the wedding together. Especially since she's over the age of eighteen."
"This is exhausting." Rhodey grumbled.
"I also agree with Steve." Bruce continued, putting his hands into his pockets, "It would be much safer for her to move into the Compound or the Tower, whichever you guys feel you'd rather live at."
"Let's invite her over tomorrow!" Tony said enthusiastically, practically bouncing up and down where he sat. Stephen flicked his ear lightly. "Knock it off."
"I say we go with T'Challa's idea." Stephen said simply. "Start with one of the groups tomorrow."
"Yeah, she takes the taxi to work so I could drive her." Tony said enthusiastically.
Rhodey groaned, "I don't even want to know how you know she takes the taxi to work."
"Well, it is New York." Sam pointed out. "Almost everyone takes Taxis or subways. It's a pain to try and drive your own car."
"Yes! Stephen and I will drive her tomorrow!" Tony said, bouncing again.
Bruce cleared his throat as Stephen flicked Tony's ear again, "You should go in reverse order of meeting her. So Stephen and Loki could take her to work tomorrow."
Everyone stared at Bruce.
"You want me to work with the guy who made me fall for thirty minutes?" Loki questioned.
"Sure." Bruce said with a shrug. "Or it can be Stephen and Fury and then you and Thor. But as she's already spent a bit of time with King T'Challa and Tony, well it's probably a good idea to start with those she barely met. That way you aren't starting off with supposed favoritism."
"That makes sense." Steve said, stroking Bucky's hair.
"Well, I'm glad that's settled." Nick said, getting up out of the chair he'd been sitting in. "See you at the next meeting. Don't die."
"Cheerful." Clint muttered before moving away to probably go and sleep in the vents.
The others dispersed accordingly.
*Next Day*
There was a knock on the door as you put the finishing touches to your makeup, getting ready for work. A white blouse covered about half of your lines, showing about four of them. A knee-length black skirt and your heels were somewhere in the front hallway, only to be put on last minute.
You hurried down the hallway- your sister having already left for school- opening the door which revealed a rather comfortable looking Stephen Strange wearing blue jeans, a red T-shirt, and a black suit jacket you swore probably belonged to Tony. And also a rather uncomfortable looking Loki who was dressed in the same black outfit as yesterday.
"Oh." You said in obvious surprise, not expecting two of your soulmates you'd met for about a minute and twelve seconds standing on your doorstep. "Er- come in."
"Do you normally let strangers into your house?" Loki asked as they stepped inside. You'd headed back down the hallway to put the makeup case away.
"Only charming ones." You called over your shoulder without looking back.
"I like her." Loki snickered.
You blushed as you shoved everything away before shutting off the bathroom.
"Sorry, but I am on my way to work." You said apologetically.
"We know, we're here to take you there." Stephen said with a shrug. "Thought you'd prefer it to spending money on a taxi or a subway ticket."
"Thank you." You said. "Lead the way then."
You shut off the lights in the apartment, wishing it was just slightly cleaner before you met Loki and Stephen back at the front door.
"We spoke as a group last night." Stephen said as the three of you stood in the elevator. "We said we'd take the relationship as slowly as possible within the Government rules, that way we don't overwhelm you."
"Thank you." You answered sincerely. "I didn't expect to meet all eleven of my soulmates on one day. Or expect that they'd all know each other. Or that half of them would have super powers of some sort of well, no offense Mr. Laufeyson, but not entirely human."
"You can call me Loki. No offense taken. I know I'm a God." Loki said with a slight smirk.
You studied him out of the corner of your eye. He was truly a beautiful specimen. No facial hair, his face extremely smooth with a pale complexion. His inky black hair was curly in waves. He carried himself with an air of elegance and self-assurance.
I flicked my eyes to look at the opposite man. He was just as tall, his facial hair giving a very smart appearance. His eyes looked like galaxies, his hair smooth and combed over on his head. He was a bit more relaxed than Loki was, though Loki had relaxed more since the front door.
The car that was waiting in front of the apartment building made you raise an eye. "This is yours?"
"Tonys." Stephen said it like an explanation.
"Of course." You murmured. Loki opened the back door so that the two of you could climb into the back while Stephen climbed into the passenger seat.
"This is Happy." Stephen introduced the two of you.
Happy simply nodded and you gave a smile, settling back into your seat.
"Would you like to come to the Avengers Tower after work?" Loki asked quietly.
You thought about it, "Yes, that sounds nice. Thank you. Are you sure I won't be imposing?"
"Not at all. Steve, Tony, and Clint are all for you moving in yesterday." Stephen chuckled. "Some of us had to convince them that it's a little to soon and that you might get overwhelmed if we asked you to move in with us today."
"Thor is ecstatic." Loki murmured, "He's already planning weddings in his mind. Mind you though, he's been without a soulmate for a thousand and a half years."
"Haven't you as well?" I questioned.
"No, only 1,058 years." Loki said with a smirk. "442 years less."
I chuckled. "I'm surprised though. Would've thought as Gods you would've had several soulmates?"
"For the longest time we didn't even have colours. Of course, that's not uncommon when it comes to Godlings. We usually wait for soulmates for a couple hundred, couple thousand years. And when we do, we are ecstatic."
It was all fascinating and you found yourself at your job far to soon for your liking. You were just slightly disappointed.
Loki took your hand, kissing the back of your knuckles again, "We'll see you after work my Queen."
Stephen had opened your door without you realizing and you quickly stepped out, making Jessie crash into Katherine as she stopped on the sidewalk.
Stephen placed a kiss on your forehead. "See you after work."
Forward, but it was to sweet to be weird. You were getting butterflies and starting to wonder if you really wanted to wait two years to get married.
"Y/N!" Katherine screeched, making you jump as the expensive car drove off. "Some explaining to do!"
"At lunch." You hissed. "Come on, we have work."
Katherine, Jessie, and Stacy were incredibly impatient as they waited for their lunch break to come. Once it did, they practically dragged you from the office so that the four of you could sit yourselves down at Big Boys, deciding to do the buffet as lunch.
You decided on breakfast for lunch, putting a few pancakes, sausage links, bacon, eggs, and cinnamon rolls along with apple/orange/grape juice as a drink.
"Explain, explain!" Jessie said.
"Shh." You hissed, rolling up your sleeve, "Stay quiet, it's supposed to be a secret."
Jessie, Stacy, and Katherine leaned over your arm to see what was there. They were the few along with your sister that knew how many soulmates that you had. Their mouths just kept dropping farther and farther until Katherine squealed, "OMG THEY'RE ALL THE AVENGERS!"
Stacy and you tackled her to get her to shut up. "SHH!" You both hissed, getting stares from the others around, though they didn't seem to really care about what you were talking about.
"Yeesh." You whined, leaning back in your seat. "I don't know if I'm lucky or cursed."
"Lucky." The other three answered.
"Seriously, you'll be one of the safest people in the city." Katherine said, eyes big as saucers as she rubbed the silver mark of her unknown soulmate.
"Unless someone from HYDRA was here and overheard your big mouth." Jessie teased Katherine.
"Yeah right." Stacy said rolling her eyes. "I'd like to see a big hulking HYDRA agent in a Big Boys."
You all laughed at the ludicrousness of the comment. After you finished lunch, you went back to work, completely unaware of the watchful eyes on your back.

Thieves Jewel - Stephen Bonnet x Fem! Reader Chapter 1
Warnings: Violence, angst, stealing, language.
The dimly lit tavern was crowded with drunken men, gambling, and illegal deals. Stephen Bonnet sat with his men and a few others at a table, gambling as usual. He was a man who made his own luck. The last time he didn’t win is unknown. It is a rare sight to see; in fact, he was just about to win his fourth game of the night when in strolled a group of people. Multiple men dressed similarly to himself, and…a woman. She was dressed in a white gown with a corset overtop. It ended just under her breasts, accentuating them. The dress itself had a slit high on one side, that showed off her leg every time she stepped. Her hair hung loose, glowing in the dim light. Stephen Bonnet looked away, uninterested in the whore that found herself with a group of pirates. That is until a man spoke up from the group.
“We present the lovely Mistress Y/N Y/L/N, may her voice enchant your souls,” At that, the woman he saw walking in with them stepped up onto the bar. He paid no mind until she opened her mouth and her voice rang out. “My heart is pierced by Cupid. I disdain all glittering gold. There is nothing can console me. But my jolly sailor bold” her voice enchanting the men in the tavern, all eyes focused on her as her body moved to the words. She sat on the edge of the bar, crossing her leg out of the slit over the other. Her head was thrown back as she sang. Unbeknownst to everyone, her crew mates traveled around pickpocketing and stole whatever they could get money for. As soon as her song ended the men cheered and asked for more. She flirtatiously obliged. This time getting bolder, walking through the crowd and dragging her supple hands over men's shoulders. Until she got to the table that held a certain captain of the Gloriana, his diamonds and rubies were laid out as an incentive for his current gambling match. The twinkle caught her eye as she dragged her hand under the captain's chin, forcing her to look at him. After catching his attention, she moved on to the next, but not before giving her fellow crew mates a subtle look. A look that said “bullseye”. As she splayed across a table, hair wild, leg bent, and arms up, Captain Bonnet’s eyes were glued to her. He sensed something; his gut told him there was something wrong. However, his thoughts were interrupted by his match.
Three days passed, and each night, Stephen found himself at the same table with the same men and deck of cards. His prised diamonds and rubies still sat on the table. Each night the little siren came back to enchant the men, and each night her crew took. Tonight, she was more forward; she wore a style similar to the usual. This dress, however, adorned two slits on each side and was black. Her breasts spilled beautifully from the confines of her corset. “Yo Ho, All hands, Hoist the colors high” She had pranced her body over to the captain again, settling herself between his thighs as she took hold of them and seductively swayed her hips down to the floor and up again. Bending forward to give him a good view of her chest, heaving as she sang. She then pranced away. However, when he looked back at the table this time, two of his five jewels were missing. His eyes narrowed on the girl, watching as she danced around the men; her sleight of hand was good. Then he noticed every so often that her hand would slip below her skirt after flirting with a man, the slit making easy access. At this moment, he realized her singing was all a ruse, all a distraction.
***Y/N POV***
Tonight had been the most successful night in this port. I had finally gotten some of those jewels, as well as many more earnings. We always start like this in every tavern we go to. It's subtle, where I just sing, and the crew poaches. Then I slowly make my way down into the crowd. Stealing those jewels from that man, was no easy feat; his eyes always seemed to stray to his precious jewels. Lucky for me, I had heard he was staying for a few nights. So I could plan a strategy, and tonight was just the trick.
As I stood in front of the small bed in the tavern, where we had all gotten rooms for our stay, I began to unlace my corset. Right before I finished my last lace I turned around, only to be shocked at the sight of the man whom I stole my largest prize from. “I’m sorry, sir, but I think you have the wrong room,” I stated, voice stern and unwavering. His eyes roamed my body from head to toe and back again. A slight smirk rose to his lips.
“So ye aren’t the little siren, o stole my precious jewels?” he said, Irish accent thick on his tongue. His voice had a darkness to it that rang in my head as a warning bell. How did he? I began to back away, holding my corset up, the sleeves of my dress slipping from my shoulders.
“You must be mistaken, sir. I only sang to you, now, would you kindly get the fuck out.” I sneered, no questioning in my voice. Before I had time to process I was against a wall with a hand to my throat. My hand immediately reached to take hold of his wrist. His hand squeezed tightly to either side of my throat, not enough to not breathe, but enough to make me feel dizzy. My knee lifted to strike him in the groin, but before I could, he had spun me around, my front pushed into the wall. Body trapped between his and the hard surface. His hand dug into my hair, keeping my face planted into the wall. His voice rang out right next to my ear.
“Now, I will give ye one last chance. Where are me gems sweet’art?” I rolled my eyes at the nickname, driving my elbow into his gut. He stuttered and stumbled, allowing me to wriggle free and make a break for the door. Before I could open it, I was thrown to the floor. He landed on top of me and pinned my arms beside my head, straddling my waist. I continued my struggle, my hands now pinned by one of his above my head. The click that sounded next to my head is what stopped my struggle. The cold barrel of a gun held to my temple stopped me in my tracks. “Perhaps we can comb to an agreement.”

EITHER WAY
Warnings! MDI!
Smut, (female receiving), oral (male receiving), angst, violence, anxiety. (Okay I’m new to doing this on tumblr tbh. I usually just write on wattpad but I have more stories so lmk if you enjoyed this)
Summary- After the loss of your uncle Jason Gideon, one man you least expect is there to protect you and be a shoulder to lean on. What happens after you grow more dependent on each other?
January 28, 2015. Gideons death. Donnie Mallick shot and killed your uncle in his cabin. We all attended his funeral. Your cousin, his son Stephen helped you prepare it. You had been having a hard time since then. You watched them lay a tarp over his body. The same body you had hugged many times before. The same body that sat before you while playing chess. You hardly could stand looking at him. Neither could Spencer. You were having a tough time and so was Spencer. You had confided in him for so many nights. Both of you staying up late eating take out, telling stories about Gideon. Spencer wasn’t his biological son, but Gideon showed him kindness and it was enough for Spencer to gravitate towards him. Gideon always thought of Spencer like his son. Spencer was his do-over in his head. Gideon failed with Stephen the first time. Not always being around. Work consuming his daily life. Gideon saw Spencer as a way to fill the hole he had for a child, but you? You were always his little girl.
Your father died when you were only 2. Your mother abandoned us as soon as you were born. Gideon took you raised and raised you until you were 5. That’s when aunt Jill told Gideon she was pregnant with Stephen. Life from then on was different. You lived with your grandparents. You hardly saw Gideon, and when you did see him, he brought you to the office. Where you sat and watched him and Rossi play chess or argue about cases. You always knew he loved you though.
It had been a week since the case and funeral. You tried to come back with a clear mind. You had been having nightmares, the same one particularly. Gideon standing in the middle of his cabin. Looking at You not being able to talk. There was a man standing behind him. Shot him right in the back of the head. Gideons body slamming onto you, not being able to move. Screaming for help as the man steps over us. The man looking down at you and right before he lets off the gun trigger, you scream. That’s when you wake up.
“ (y/n) can I see you in my office please?”
You look up and see Hotch standing outside his office with a serious but concerned look.
“yes Hotch?” You say while walking into the office.
“ how are you doing? “
“Im fine,Hotch.”
“Are you sure? We could extend your time. You could go home and get proper rest.”
“Hotch I’m not a child. I passed my evaluation. I’m okay to come back”
“I never said you were a child. I’m just making sure you are ready to come back.”
“ I’m fine.”
“If you say so, but I’m not sure you are. Gideon was a friend to all of us but I know you were family.”
“Hotch I’m okay-“
JJ walked in thankfully.
“Hey guys I’m sorry to interrupt but we have a case.”
Never have I been so thankful to hear those words. Maybe now I can have a distraction.
“This is Colin Parker, he was the 5th man who was found slaughtered inside his home.”
“Slaughtered?” I ask.
“ yes. There is stab wounds up and down his body. His throat was slashed, and wrists cut.” Hotch said.
“Over kill?” Morgan speaks up.
“No. Who ever did this it was clean. It was a precise killing. With over kill no one would kill like this and not leave a complete mess.” Spencer replied
“ well we are going to California then. Wheels up in 30.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We just came back from a super long case. Two more men were kidnapped but we thankfully saved them in time.
We walked into the bull pen. Everyone extremely tired and ready for the weekend.
“ oooo hey sweetheart looks like someone’s got a secret admirer” Morgan teased and you came up to your desk to see a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a note.
“Open the note I want to know who it’s from!!!” Emily screamed with excitement and pushed on your shoulder to make you more eager.
“ fine fine.” With everyone now standing around your desk you opened the envelope. A small letter. It read:
(Y/n),
This letter is in condolences to Your uncle, Jason Gideon, he was a great man. We have found his will reading and will hope you and your Team will have time to come on out to his cabin and collect any personal affects he has left you.
Sincerely (Gideons Lawyer)
“Gideon has a lawyer?” Morgan asked
“Gideon has a will?” Rossi scoffed.
Tears started to form in your eyes. You hadn’t been to his cabin since you found him. Your weren’t allowed back until it was cleaned up. Reid and you never felt like going back to collect our stuff there either.
“ I guess so.”
Hotch looked at you knowing you were hiding your tears. “ (y/n) we can plan to visit his will reading Sunday?, would that be alright?”
“ yes”. You hated this. You thought this was all over.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sunday approached. You wore your jacket Gideon gifted to you for your 18th birthday.
“Hi I’m Matthew Murdock ( yes ik 🫣) I’m here to read you off Jason Gideons will”
“Hi Mr Murdock, I believe we have met before?, SSA David Rossi”
“ oh yes we have, when I was in grad school.”
“It’s nice to see you again- well you know”
Matthew laughs. ( if you don’t know Matthew Murdock is blind)
“ and this is his niece” Rossi says guiding you over to him.
“(y/n) correct?”
“ yes I am.”
“ well it’s very nice to meet you finally, I know it’s under bad conditions but Gideon spoke very highly of you and Stephen”
“Thank you.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“ it’s nice to finally meet everyone, I’m sorry it wasn’t under better circumstances. I was given a letter earlier this week stating Gideons will was found during the clean up. I was told to contact you as soon as you returned from your case.”
We all looked around. This was it. Maybe after hearing this I would finally have some peace.
“This is the will reading of Jason Gideon, husband of Jill Gideon ( deceased) and father of Stephen Gideon who unfortunately couldn’t attend. The other living family is (y/n)( y/l/n), and other beneficiaries. To start I leave my team members all notes in envelopes to read. These are to be read by yourselfs. Unless wanting to be shared.”
Matthew spreads envelopes around the table in front of us. Each labeling our name. Mine being the biggest envelope there. We approach and take ours and sit back down.
“ I was told this next portion was to be read by his niece (y/n), will you read it”
You step up. Looking over this long piece of paper. Assuming the top portion with the bumps was for Matthew to read in braille.
You start to sweat as you know these next couple minutes will be the end of you.
“ Hello everyone, Hopefully my entire Team is here. I wanted you all here so I could leave you with things I wish I gave you before I left. Things that remind me of you. Things we cherished together. First off, is Spencer. Spencer you are a great kid. Keep using that mind for amazing things. I leave you my chess board, my map collection, and books. To Emily, I haven’t known long but I leave my wife’s china plates, you always wanted some. To JJ I leave my boy Stephen’s young clothes. You will make a wonderful mother unless when you read this you already are. To Penelope, I leave my whole computer system to. It’s outdated but I’m sure your mind can handle it. To Derek I leave my sports collection to you. I have 2 Nellie Fox baseball cards. Still in great condition. Keep them safe. To Hotch, stop Being such a hard ass. Loosen up. I saw on the news about what happened. I’m sorry. Haley was a wonderful person. Jack needs you. I leave Stephen’s clothes to you as well, and my Star Wars collection, keep any of the clothes in the closet for yourself. To my friend, David Rossi. We grew distant but you are my best friend. I named my child after you. We started all of this together. I leave the desk we built together as well as our funds we hoped to save up for our trip to Florida where we wanted to retire.” Rossi laughed and shook his head.
“To Stephen-“
“He isn’t here you don’t have to read it.” Matt spoke up.
“ Oh alright. To my passera ( sparrow in Italian, Rossi called you is so finally Gideon started to call you it) I leave you my cabin. The cabin we built together at 5 years old. I leave you everything that doesn’t go to anyone. I leave you my records. I leave you aunt Jill’s things. I love you my passera. Let people take care of you.”
You start to cry. The man you confided in when you were upset about anything was gone. You never would see him again.
“You can now stand up and we have put ur Belongs gifted to you in an area labeled with your name. “
“(Y/n)” Matthew said
“ yes?” You wiped the tears off your face as Rossi put his hands on your shoulders.
“I need to give you the keys to the cabin. These belong to you.” Matthew’s hands you the keys. The keys have a wooden initial attached on the key chain. Your Initals.
“ Cara Mia, he’s in a better place.” Rossi spoke to you so softly
You turned and cried into his chest. Rossi usually would’ve sat you down and complained about his suit being ruined but at the moment he didn’t care. Everyone was grabbing their things. Spencer on the verge of tears trying to leave as fast as he could so he could cry at home.
You were still crying by the time most of them left. Derek saying goodbye to me. JJ and Emily hugging you. Penelope asking if you would be okay. Rossi asked if you needed a ride home and you shook your head no. You didn’t want to leave. Hotch stayed. You didn’t know he did. You just sat there and balled your eyes out.
“ I think I should take you home (y/n) “
His low voice startled me.
“I don’t want to leave Hotch.”
“ I think it’s best if for tonight you do.”
“ fine.” You were too worn out to argue with him. If this was any other time we would be at each others throats. Hotch would tell you, you were over reacting and needed to grow up. You liked he was being kind. But you hated it at the same time. Knowing this would all be over by the end of the week and he would be a hard ass again.
Hotch helps you into the car. The same car youve rode in hundreds of times. The same car youve driven with your uncle in the passenger seat. driving to the Bau singing the Beatles on the way there.
“ are you okay?” Hotch’s voice snaps me out of my trance.
“ yes.” I lied. Why lie to a profiler.
“ it’s okay to not be okay, I don’t know why I asked that I know you aren’t.”
“ I’m okay hotch. I’ll just have to get over this.”
“ not over. Through. This takes time”
“ I’m not a child I know that.”
You don’t know why you were starting an argument with him. You were mad at him. Why? You don’t completely know why.
“(Y/n) I’m just trying to help you okay, and if you decide you want to be childish then fine. By all means.”
You sat there. Not completely knowing what happened. You disliked you and him fighting. It always bothered you it seemed like he hated you and cared about the others. Hotch being nice to you is all that you’ve ever wanted. But tonight you just needed everything to be normal. This was your guys normal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The week began. You still hadn’t opened your letter from Gideon. You wanted to, but what if you read something you wished you didn’t. Change was something you should’ve been used to. You were doing this long enough, but having someone you thought would live forever dying? That was hard.
It had been tense in the office. More than usual. Everyone could tell you and Hotch weren’t talking. Rossi tried playing middle man but that just caused more chaos.
You handed in a report two days ago. Well Spencer did. You paid Reid $20 to hand it in for you so you didnt have to see Hotch.
“(Y/n) my office now. He was mad. More mad than usual. Was it hot? Maybe. But you were way more worried about what he was about to yell at you for.
“ yes sir?”
“ did you re read your report before handing it in? I’m sorry I mean giving it to Reid to hand in because you can’t even turn in your own reports now.”
“ I did. It all seemed fine”
“Seemed? These reports are also reflections of how I am as boss. Am I teaching you how to fill the out correctly? Did I teach you how to spell? No because I’m not your kindergarten teacher.”
“ what is up your ass today?”
“ you. You misspelled completely wrong twice. Fix your mistake now.”
“ yes sir.”
God. He was so annoying. I walked out of his office to see everyone’s eyes on me. Was he that loud?
“ Cara Mia you okay?” Rossi peaks his head out of his office. You didnt know but your hands were vigorously shaking.
“ yes I’m fine.” Rossi looks at your hands and you look down as well. Trying to hide them you put them behind you. Walking away.
You sat at your desk. Wishing the day to be over. At 8 o’clock you could go home. You stayed later then everyone else did. Yes you were a profiler but you were assigned to help hotch as well. When he went home you went home. Which means some nights you stayed very late. The days he didn’t go home he dismissed you to leave. Knowing he wasn’t leaving but you honestly didn’t care. Hotch pissed you off so many times. You never understood why he hated you as much as he did. With Gideon around he was kinder. I mean he did ignore you most of the time until it was case work, but he didn’t yell at you. Once Gideon was gone he started to grow more aggressive. You hated this. You had a crush on him everyone knew. It didn’t take long for Rossi to realize either. It didn’t take him long to say “ so when is the wedding?” Ever since that day he’s encouraged the team to make jokes about your crush on the angry unit chief.
“It’s 11:00pm. Time for you to go home
(Y/n).” Hotch spoke and it shook you out of your thoughts.
“Are you leaving?” You told yourself you didn’t care but for some odd reason you still asked.
“I’m staying a little longer. I have to finish this report.”
“Then I’m staying”
“ I don’t think that’s necessary. You should go home.”
“Hotch part of my job is to stay here and help you. If you aren’t leaving then neither am I.”
“ fine.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There you were. Sitting across from the man you hated yet wanted to love you so dearly. You hardly looked up from his couch, but when you did you could catch him staring. It was 11:45 by this point and you were hardly done with your reports.
“ do you want to go get some food?”
Hotch asked.
“I guess. We will be here a while.”
You both got up and walked down the street. You walked into the 24/7 Chinese place. You both got orange chicken. You always ate orange chicken with Gideon. It just happened to be the last meal you had with him. Tears formed again. Scared to show your emotions to hotch. You tried to hard to prove him your okay you would hate him to see you were wrong. You wiped your tears before he could see.
Hotch hands you your food.
�� thank you”
“ you’re welcome”
For a man you wanted to hate with every bone in your body you looked at him like he was your everything. Hotch’s eyes lit up in the street light, his hands handing your food you couldn’t look away. You tried ripping your mind away from these thoughts. Thoughts you shouldn’t be having about him, your boss especially.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You return back. Sitting and eating. Hardly ever spoke to him but that’s okay. You got through the paper work you needed to. You were getting very tired. You could tell hotch was too.
“Let’s go home.”
Hotch looked at you like you just told him you loved him. The surprised look confused you.
“Not together dumbass.”
“ right. I knew that.”” You aren’t in the right condition to drive though”
“ yes I am”
“ you are falling asleep as we are talking right now”
He wasn’t wrong. You were drifting in and out.
“ fine.” Hotch has driven you before. You weren’t incline to argue with you him as you were practically half asleep on his couch right now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You woke up to seeing an apartment complex. This wasn’t yours. It was Hotch’s
A shiver ran down your spine. You looked over and Hotch was getting out of the car. Rounding to your side and opening the car door. “ you’re up.”
“ yes, I thought I was going home? You aren’t kidnapping me are you? I mean you are unit chief so you could get away with it-“
“(Y/n) stop talking. I brought you here because you were asleep and I forgot which level you lived on so taking you home with me was easier.”
“ I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have fallen asleep”
“ it’s okay.”
Hotch helps you inside. “ where is Jack?”
“ Jack is at Jess’s tonight.”
“ oh. So tonight would’ve been a you night I’m sorry”
“ don’t me. I probably would’ve just came home and slept.”
“ well don’t let me stop you. I’ll just lay down on the couch now”
“ no. I’m a gentleman and you will be sleeping in my bed. I’ll take the couch”
“ hotch I’m not kicking you out of your own bed.”
“I don’t care. You’re my guest.”
You were tired. Arguing again was too
tiring and he was right it was his place.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You see him. Gideon facing you. He just moved his chess piece. “ your turn”.
You looked at him. You move your piece and he looks at you like you’re stupid. You don’t care where you moved it. You only care you get to see him again. Gideon stands. No no. Sit back down. “Im going to get some water you want anything” yes for you to sit down. “ no, thank you”
You turn around. Fully facing him now. There he is. Center of the living room. Boom. Gideons laying on top of you. You start yelling. You can’t move. In the mirror you see a dead bleeding out Gideon. Lifeless laying on you. You look up and stare at the barrel of a gun. This time you wish for it to go off. You pray. No screaming. “(Y/N)”
You wake up in a hot sweat. Gripping into an arm. Not your arm, but hotch’s
“(Y/N)”
It shook you to your core. You were hyperventilating. Not being able to catch your breath. Hotch is holding you. “ it’s okay. Deep breaths”
You finally are able to calm down.
“ do you want to talk about it?”
“ not really”
“ was it another nightmare about Gideon?”
“What?”
You looked at him now. You knew everyone knew you were having nightmares, but Gideon?
“We bunked up remember?”
You do. Ever since the whole team found out about your crush they’ve done everything to keep you both together. Hoping it’ll spark something. But since Gideon your mind has been other places then your boss sharing the same room
As you.
“ you know?”
“ yes.” “ would you like to talk about it?”
“Yes.” You looked at him. You never thought you would talk about the nightmares. Not to Hotch especially.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You tell him everything. You watch his expressions change. He is listening. Not zoning out but listening. It feels good to see him finally listening to you.
“ I see. Are you having these every night?”
“ yes.”
“ have you talked to anyone about them? “
“ no only you.”
“ not even Reid?”
“ no. I’m to embarrassed.”
“ why?”
“ because I feel like I should’ve been over this by now. I see death in every day life. “
“This is different. This is Gideon.”
“ I know.”
“ it’ll take time and that’s okay.”
“ thank you hotch.”
“ you’re welcome.”
Hotch got up. You didn’t want him to leave. What if you had another nightmare.
“ can you stay?”
“What?” He stopped dead in his tracks.
“ can you stay with me? I know it inappropriate for a supervisor to sleep with a- “
Hotch gets into bed. No arguments. No restraint. Not even a complaint. You feel better now.
“ goodnight (y/n)”
“ goodnight hotch”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You wake up to a hand on your lower back. You open your eyes and Hotch is right up on your chest. His head buried almost under you arm. You were enjoying this to say the least. But you knew it was wrong. Hotch started to shift. You acted asleep. You felt the stir and the weight of where he was release. He was up now. Hotch’s phone rang.
“Hotchner.” God his morning voice was hot. “ okay sounds good. We will be on our way- I mean I will. Please don’t call (y/n) they had a rough time last night so I’m sure they will want to sleep in.”
You heard Hotch chuckle. It was cute.
“Case?” You say to him.
“ uh that was no one by Morgan”
“ oops I’m sorry”
“ no you’re okay, I’m sure we will just hear some things walking in.”
Which I didn’t mind. I wish those things were true.
“ did you sleep good?”
“ yes, your bed is really nice.”
“ thank you”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walking into the bullpen was hard. All eyes on you and Hotch.
“ okay spill Morgan said he heard you when he was calling Hotch, is it true?”
“ no. Well yes I was there but it wasn’t like that.”
“ so what was it like then huh sweetheart?”
“ Morgan I promise me and him did nothing.”
“ so you didn’t sleep in the same bed?”
“ well yes but it was under different circumstances”
“ and that was???”
You didn’t want to say it. Thought the day more prying questions were thrown your day. You were getting anxious. Everyone saw it and you picked at your fingers while they were questioning you.
“Conference room before everyone leaves”
Hotch said as he walked passed the bullpen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“ (y/n) and I didn’t engage in any inappropriate behavior. I want everyone to know this”
They all looked around. You were so embarrassed. You wanted to shoot yourself at this point.
“ do we all understand.”
“Yes.” They all say in unison.
Morgan even seemed too scared to make a remark about it.
“ everyone is dismissed”
Everyone leaves except you and rossi. Rossi retreats to his office and you sit there.
“ are you okay?” Hotch is still standing there.
“Yes I’m okay.”
“Do you need anything?”
“ no im okay thank you.”
You stand up and walk to your desk. Thoughts overwhelming you. You need to move on from these nightmares. Face them. You pull open your drawer to see the envelope you stashed away.
(Y/n) (y/l/n)
It says on the front.
You slowly open it. Hoping whatever was inside would heal you from this insanity. There was a note and a couple over bigger letters. Some certificates dating back to your younger days like soccers and softball.
(Y/n) my little Passera,
My life started when I found out I was going to be an uncle. Kids never excited me but I knew you were different. Holding you for the first time felt like time stopped. I never wanted to see you hurt ever. So seeing you without parents at only 2 years hurt me. I brought you with me every where. I wanted to adopt you.
Those words. Adopt you. It hurt. You kept reading though.
The day I asked Rossi if I should ask Jill I got a call. Your aunt was pregnant. I wish I just went through with the adoption. Maybe things would’ve been different. I told Rossi and he agreed sending you with your grandparents would be for the best.
Rossi knew? You started to cry.
If I knew they were putting you through hell I wouldn’t have sent you there.
It was true. Your grandparents treated you like a house servant.
I’m so glad you followed in my footsteps though. Seeing you grow up. Watching you make your way to the top. Without my help either. (Y/n) I know it’s too late now. I made the biggest mistake not adopting you. I think about it every day. Can I adopt you? I love you so much my little girl.
Those words broke you. You hadn’t heard them before. Only once. The day he left. He hugged you goodnight and said those words. “ I love you my little girl”
Those words echoed through your head that night.
You shot up. Angry knowing Rossi knew. You walked to his door. Hotch saw you reading it and watching you walk to Rossi knew it would be bad.
“ David Rossi open your door” you yelled.
Rossi opend the door to be greeted by you. Angry. Crying. Red in the face. Hardly making full sentences.
“ Cara Mia slow down”
“ you knew?” You cried through your words. You shoved the envelope in his face. Rossi didn’t even have to be a profiler to know what you were talking about.
“ I’m sorry.”
“ oh you’re sorry? Rossi he was going to adopt me!”
Hotch felt your hurt in your voice. He knew how much you’ve wanted him to adopt you. Gideon talked about it all the time. His biggest mistake.
“I know, I shouldve encouraged him to do it. I wasn’t thinking at the time I’m sorry”
You broke down. Rossi hugged you.
“ he loved you though. There wasn’t a day that went by that he told me he wish he had adopted you.”
“ you’re just saying that”
“ no (y/n) he’s right.”
It was hotch.
“ what?”
“You know when you walked into Gideons office there was the desk full of picture frames?”
“ yeah?”
“ well when I started here there was two pictures. Stephen and Jill. Then a picture of you. You seem to be in a uniform. Softball I imagine and you have a big trophy. Gideon never shut up about you.”
You smiled at Hotch. You felt better.
“ I wish he would’ve told me.”
“ did he sign the papers?”
You look down at them.
“ yes he did”
“ okay then sign them.”
“ what? But he’s dead it doesn’t count”
“ legally he signed it. If you sign it your his legal daughter”
You burst out into tears. You hugged hotch tight. He hugged you back. It felt nice.
“ would you like a ride home?”
“ yes please.”
You turn to meet Rossi. Rossi was smiling at you. “ you gonna give him a big thank you aren’t you?”
“ shut up old man”
You both walk down and hear Rossi shout “ don’t keep each other up all night.”
Hotch seems a tad uncomfortable now. Great Rossi you ruined the thing we had going.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Do you want to listen to anything?”
“ sure.”
You press play on the radio. The Beatles start playing. Hotch is humming along
" you a fan?”
“ yeah I used to listen to them a lot when I was younger, do you?”
“ yeah same.”
Hotch knew you listened to them with Gideon. He feels like such an idiot asking the question back.
After what seems like an eternity you pull into your drive way. You thank hotch but he gets out and walks you to your door.
It’s starts to pour heavily.
“ you shouldn’t drive in this. Come on in?”
“I really need to get to jack.”
“Just until the storm passes?”
“Okay”
Hotch knew Jess was with him. He would be okay.
Hail is starting to pour outside. You switch on your lights. Just enough to light your way but dim because it’s night time.
“Do you want anything to drink?”
“Do you have any beer?”
“Of course I do”
You hand hotch a beer. You turn on your stereo. Something that’s been a habit. You usually walk in and it’s still on from when you left. You sit across from Hotch. Looking at him. You feel like a creep but he looks good. His arms reaching to his beer bottle. The shirt hugging his muscles.
“ youre staring.”
“ sorry”
You made small talk as best as you could. Actually now hoping the storms would pass you turn on the tv.
*STAY OFF THE ROADS! STAY OFF THE ROADS! HIGHWAY IS CLOSED OFF*
Comes across your screen. Great.
“Well you aren’t going anywhere tonight. I’m not letting you on the road.”
“(Y/n) I’ll be fine let me go get a hotel”
“ no you saw the news. No highway”
HOTCHS POV-
She wants me to stay. I want to stay. Sleeping in the same bed last time felt so right. Our body’s close together. The heat radiating off of hers. I felt her skin. It was soft and tender. I haven’t been like this with someone in a while. Not since before the divorce. I missed it. It felt good. But I couldn’t think about her like that. (Y/n) was going through so much. I would be taking advantage of her.
“ what are you thinking about?” Her soft voice brings me back to reality.
“ nothing.”
“ no I see those wheels turning what’s up?”
“ is this to much? I mean this will be the 2nd time sleeping in the same facility just us? Would it be deemed inappropriate?”
“ I don’t know. I mean we sleep together during cases?”
I froze. Sleep together.
“ well not sleep together but you know?
“ yeah. Uh I just don’t want to be pushing any boundaries.”
“ i understand and hotch you are a great friend for that”
Friend. Right.
Y/N POV-
Friend. Why would I say friend. He’s not my friend. He is the man I’m desperately in love with. The man I would kill for this situation to happen 100 more times.
“ do you want to watch a movie to pass the time?”
“ sure?”
we put on the notebook. Hotch said it was cheesy but I love it for rainy days.
I fell asleep toward the end. I woke up and Hotch was watching tv. My head in his lap.
“ oh I’m sorry”
“ hey it’s okay.”
You are embarrassed. You are constantly falling asleep around him.
“ hey can I take a shower?”
“ yeah of course” “let me grab you some clothes.
“these should fit you, they were Gideons and that’s my shirt.
Hotch sighed. Almost like a relief?
You sat down on the couch. Hearing the shower go you decided to turn on music. You loved listening to music during a rainy day. You were so in depth to just listening that you opened ur eyes to see hotch standing over you. You sit up and look at him. Hotch has never looked this good. You make you room next to you.
“ you have a great shower it has great water pressure”
Oh trust me you know.
“ yeah” you weakly smile. You couldn’t stop staring. He didn’t dry his body. You knew because the shirt was now drenched and sticking to his body. No complaints of course.
“(Y/n) you’re staring”
“ sorry.”
“ no need to apologize”
Good. Because you weren’t sorry. That man had an ungodly hold over you. You noticed Hotch scooted closer to you.
“ you okay?”
“ Mhm.”
You were okay. But far from normal okay.
Your mind had hundreds of different thoughts. You found out your uncle wanted to adopt you and now your boss you’ve had a crush on his on your couch in your clothes soaked from a shower he took in YOUR house!
“ you don’t see okay? You seem distracted” at this point you two were close. Hotch brought you closer to him. You look up at him. He stares back. You hear the song “Either way” by Chris Stapleton start playing.
“ can I kiss you?”
Your stomach drops.
“What?”
“ can I kiss you”
Another dream. You hoped not but you were scared.
“ yes.”
Hotch’s lips crashed into yours. It wasn’t a dream. His hands under you and you push your body up to meet his. You both go back down. Your body feeling the soft embrace of the couch. There you were. Kissing your boss. Not kissing. Making out. His hands moving around your body. He pulls away
“ I’m sorry i shouldn’t have done that”
He stands up
“ did you want to?”
“Yes but-“ you kiss him again. He embraces your kiss by holding the back of your head. Making out while walking down to the bedroom. You try not to hit anything off the walls. You open your door from behind you as you are still kissing your boss. He starts taking off his tie and shirt. Unbuttoning his shirt he takes it off and you see his scars. The one from foyet. He sees your eyes wander and begins to be self conscious. You see his eyes fill with worry. You take off your shirt without thinking and turn around. The whips from your grandparents engraved into your skin. Purple/ pink scars up and down ur back still. He touches them. It doesn’t hurt anymore. You turn to him.
“ I didn’t know”
“ no one did but Gideon.”
“ I’m sorry”
“ it’s okay”
His lips crash against yours. Hoisting you up onto him. Your legs wrap around him. You both fall onto the bed. You start feelings fingers against your sides. His hands wandering around your body. His kisses get sloppy. His kisses start going down to your neck. You start to moan. His kisses feel right. He enjoys hearing your soft moans. Hotch starts kissing Down the rest of your body. He get to your pants. Looking up for approval. You nod and he takes them off. His eyes lingering in between your thighs.
“ may i?”
You already knew what he wanted. The look of temptation.
“ yes”
He goes straight to your pussy. Sliding your underwear off. Pushing your legs outward. His tongue going over your folds. Him hitting your clit just to go back down. He was teasing you. You were growing needy. You moan every time. This time he stayed a little longer. A louder moan escaped your mouth.
“ you sound amazing”
He starts circling your clit with his tongue.
You feel him going faster. You were there. You didn’t know how he made you there so quickly. He just was good. Your moans make you toss your head back. His tongue going faster
“ hotch I think-“
“ Aaron I’m Aaron”
“ Aaron I think I’m going to -“ you moan
“ say it sweetheart”
“ I’m going to cum”
“ alright it’s okay “
You believed he was gonna stop. No he kept going pushing your legs farther apart you wanted to strangle his head with them so bad. He hit the spot and it all came out. You came on his tongue. You saw his eyes fill with lust and happiness. He licked you clean.
“ you did really good my love.” You looked saw it. His dick hard pressed to the sweats. Grey. So thankful for them. Your hand gravitated toward it. Wanting him to feel good like he made you. You get up and push him down. Taking off his pants and underwear. You see it kind of spring up. His full erection In front of you.
“ can you do it?” He says teasingly
“ shut up”
Your tongue swirls around the tip. He moans. You lick the precum off his tip. You start taking him. Your tongue and mouth being taken by him. His moans sounded like heaven. You take your hands and wrap them around it. As your head bobs up you bring your hands up as well. Same when you go down. You watch as his body moves. Chest rising and falling. The moans and groans. You feeling hits cock twitch im your mouth. The feeling of knowing when he’s about to come. You take all him one last time. You go down to hard you feel like you’ll gag. And up you go and he moans as he cums in your mouth. It dripping from your mouth but you manage to get almost every last bit. You sucked him dry. Any cum on his dick was now gone. He looked at you with pleasure and love. He grabs you we ease. You straddle him
“ you looked so pretty with my dick in your mouth. “
“ thank you”
“ you’ll look even pretty with it in you. You think you can do it?”
“ yes sir “
That sir hit Aaron in the gut. He never had heard a better word. You knew right then it made him happy. He lays you gently on your back. Grabbing your legs and holding them high. He lines you up and slowly inserts himself in. You moan
“You are tight aren’t you baby?”
“ yes.”
He went faster. Causing ur body to shake.
You arch. You moan. You feel ur whole body about to explode. He kisses you. Your face, neck, down your body. He keeps going deeper. You feel yourself about to cum.
“ Aaron I can’t”
“ cum on my dick it’s okay.”
You do as he says. One last thrust and he watches as cum goes down his dick. He starts to pull out. “ no what are you doing” Aaron looks at you confused “ what do you mean sweetheart?”
“ you didn’t cum. Stay in a finish”
“ I’m okay”
“ please sir.”
That gave Aaron every right to want to stay. He kept going until you watched his body shake. You knew it was coming. Literally. You felt as he came inside of you. Thankfully you were on birth control. He kind of just sinks into the bed beside you. You both sit up and look at each other.
“ you are such a pretty girl.”
“ thank you Aaron.”
You get quiet. Thinking how you just did this with your boss. You enjoyed it but I mean for the last 6 years you harbored a crush on him. Thinking he hated you. Now he fucked you.
“ what are you thinking about hm?”
“ what we did, was that wrong?”
Aaron shot up. Scared he pressured you. He knew he shouldn’t have done this.
“ did you not want to?”
“ no I did”
He sighed
“ just. You’re my boss. This will change so much.”
“ I know. But we don’t have to tell anyone yet”
“ Aaron we work with profilers. Whose job it is to find out who’s lying from a mile away. I’m sure they will know”
“Let that be tomorrow’s problem. Tonight you need rest”
“ okay.” He was right. You were so tired.
You drifted asleep with the man you loved.
You loved Aaron Hotchner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You wake up. Aaron being gone. You were sad. Maybe he realized he made a mistake. That was until you heard footsteps. There he was. He brought you coffee and donuts. “Hi gorgeous did you sleep good?”
“ yes I did !”
You get up and go to kiss him when you see it. The hickey. The one you left last night. It was dark and going to be hard to cover up.
“Aaron I’m so sorry. This will get you in so much trouble”
“Hey it’s okay” “ drink your coffee you’ll be okay.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the way to work you tried covering it up as best you could. It was hidden but still peaking through a bit. You hoped no one would really notice. A bug bite maybe?
Thats what Aaron was planning on telling one who asked. You walk in after Aaron. A couple mins behind. You see Rossi ask. You walk in and walk to your desk. “ good morning Rossi” “ good morning bug”. You look up to see hotch frozen as he’s turning his office door. Rossi looking at you.
Everyone looked at you.
Shit.

do you have any book recommendations? anything like the locked tomb or just fantasy/science fiction in general? :)
Hi anon I LOVE GIVING BOOK RECS!
Unfortunately I haven’t found anything quite like TLT, but when you break it into main themes some other series come close. So, if you liked The Locked Tomb for…
Morally ambiguous lesbians and oppressive empires? Try The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson. I love Baru as a character and I love and what the book does with themes of cultural assimilation and how the road to a righteous goal is paved with moral compromises until you’re not sure you’re still on the right path. Content warning for institutional homophobia, which affects the plot and the main character. It’s never gratuitous, but it’s pretty much the opposite of TLT under that point of view so heads up.
Unique worldbuilding, queer characters, distinctive sense of place in a land that was once Earth? Try The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin. This isn’t to everybody’s tastes (usually people love it or hate it) but it does some VERY cool things with scifi and deservedly won a Hugo.
Intricate worldbuilding, necromancy, gothic vibes? Try The Bone Orchard by Sara Mueller. This definitely hits the same “confused and confusing female main character who doesn’t know her own mind” vibes as HtN, which can be good or bad depending on your tastes, but the necromancy bits are fantastic.
Oppressive planetary empires and queer characters? Try A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine. This too is about cultural assimilation and has a main murder mystery plot. Space opera about a young diplomat in a precarious position who is sort of sharing her mind space with someone else. Bonus: fun scifi worldbuilding based on some lesser-known historical empires.
Other SFF I read or reread in 2022
City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett for worldbuilding, shady empires, female MC, urban fantasy vibes with a strong sense of place and a murder mystery thrown in for flavour.
Deeplight by Frances Hardinge. YA fantasy with horror vibes that I very much enjoyed as an adult not usually keen on YA. There are scary eldritch gods, toxic relationships with a hopeful ending, excellent fantasy worldbuilding, a really solid sense of civilization (especially the Deaf culture of the divers that is really interwoven in the setting). Sea monsters! Secrets! Street urchins! This is one of my all-time favourites.
The Scholomance series by Naomi Novik, starting with A Deadly Education; the third book came out two weeks after Nona and it gave me emotional whiplash, because (spoiler!) the angry goth girl gets to be happy in this one! YA, very vivid very fun worldbuilding, spunky teenage heroine with a cynical disposition and death powers.
Obligatory rec for Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell just because it’s one of those books that make me feel like I’m a richer person for having read them. It’s an impressive alternate history fantasy, the writing is masterful, the fae villain is unsettling and inhumanly evil, the mundane villains (pettiness, spite, centuries-old institutions) provide excellent dramatic irony. Everyone is insufferable in a petty way that’s also endlessly entertaining, and the two titular characters are absolutely obsessed with each other. The prose is a pastiche and tremendously well written. My only nitpick is that there are way too many men. I get why, given the setting the premise and the characters, and I loved the book, but since this rec originated with an ask about TLT I feel like I have to clarify that the gender ratio is pretty much the polar opposite.
My Heart Is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones if you like spunky teenage girl protagonists, poetically described gore, critique of colonialism and indigenous displacement. This is a horror thriller not a sff, sent in the contemporary US, and it’s basically a love letter to the horror movie genre + Native American folk legends. Reccing it anyway because YMMV but to to me it really hit some of the spots that HtN does. (Content warning for off-screen CSA)
The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch. Speculative fiction thriller, lots of jumping between alternate timelines and wondering what exactly is going on. It’s not flawless but it’s unabashedly weird in a very fun, very unique way that I really appreciated.
Under the Pendulum Sun by Jeannette Ng. Unique worldbuilding, distinct narrative voices, gothic vibes, weird religious imagery. Fantasy historical fiction about cruel inhuman fae, the worldbuilding is brilliant and very vivid (and what an aesthetic it is!), the story is fucked up in a delicious way, and the prose is a delightful Brontë pastiche. Content warnings for consensual sibling incest and Christian missionaries on a mission of “civilization” through faith (it’s not portrayed in a positive way but the colonialism is definitely there).
[I only flagged content warnings that aren't canon-typical for TLT, but definitely more apply. If you need clarification on a specific book HMU]
#reading recs#reading list#the traitor baru cormorant#teixcalaan#the broken earth#the scholomance#ask#anonymous#@anon if you've read any of these and have Opinions whether good or bad lmk#so i can narrow it down to tailor made recs AND have an excuse to do more BookTalk#baru cormorant

"My happiness is connected to yours "
Stephen strange x reader.
Summary:- y/n runs away after a little family drama, she's in her early twenties and bumps into Stephen. Stephen becomes her everything. But does Stephen feels same for his adorable new friend?
It was a normal day for Stephen strange and his companions, their training session was going as usual, spring seem to appear as new lives came to the trees. Stephen strolled around checking on everyone and sometimes getting lost in his thoughts, thoughts about Christine. She was hard, rather impossible to be forgotten. How they could've been a thing but perhaps it was for their good only.... Wait who's there? Stephen got out of his thought bubble. It popped, and the popping parts sparkled around him when He saw a girl, 18 or 19 maybe, she seemed beautiful to him. He staired at her trying to figure out what is it? Why his eyes are stuck who's she ? She ran inside with a huge bag and looked around puzzled.
"Hey, are you a new student?" He called out, after gaining a bit of sense of his surroundings.
She was startled and then her eyes met with his, their eyes softened, there was sparkle for some reason. "Oh no sorry I don't know where... Uh, can I be a student?" She said.
Bizzare innit? She has no clue what's going around there yet she's interested into being a student.
"I mean, you can but then..."
"Great so how much is it?" She enquired before letting him complete his sentence.
"Free but listen..."
"Oh great, I'm in, oh and I would like to stay here please Mr?"
"It's doctor strange and cool down a minute, where are you from?"
"Can't tell"
"Why?"
"Well it's..."
"Look you have to tell me about yourself ". He said putting a foot forward to her and affectionately looking at her, she was young and looked belonging from a well doing Household, he wanted to make her feel comfortable.
She staired at him, then said, "fine, I'm y/n and I'm from the city that's next to it".
"And what about this bag?" Strange asked.
"It's um, look Mr doctor strange, I've run from my house".
"You did what?" He asked amazed.
"I know too impulsive, but I had an argument with my parents cause I got lesser grades so.."
"How old are you?"
"Not very polite to ask a woman of her age but I'm in my early twenties ".
"Wait " Stephen couldn't believe that tiny confused woman is in her twenties, she looked too young "you're not a teen?"
"I know I look tiny but I'm not, am doing masters that's why the grades thing got serious, now can I stay".
"Uh okay" Stephen said without thinking.
"Thank you so much, Oh and please tell my parents I'm here, it was impulsive of me to run I don't want them to worry." Saying this she went inside.
Stephen kept on looking at her, what just happened ? A breeze? A fresh Breeze didn't hit him, then why does he feels so light? Spring! Not in the air only, but spring means rejuvenation, has the winter inside him turned to spring? Well maybe, or Perhaps his new student, he didn't know yet.
Entering he saw her talking to wong, "you care for them and yet don't wanna go home?" Asked he.
"No, I wanna learn this thing that they're learning it seems fun".
"She can stay wong, let her" said Stephen walking towards them.
"yey thanks doctor strange" saying this she flung herself into Stephen and wrapped her hands around him. Stephen was confused at first , affection, this word was long lost for him, it might be planning to make a come back so he too held her by an arm of his. Wong gave a smirk and went.
"I talked to your parents" he said.
"What did they say?" She asked.
" that they trust you and knows you'll learn mystic arts in no time" Stephen said with a smile.
"They allowed it, gosh " she was in disbelief.
"Let me show you your room, come".
She followed him then he opened a room for her. She entered and looked around.
"It's nice, where's your room?" She asked.
"It's in the other side". He replied.
"Can I get a room there?".
"Uh I guess yes the room beside mine is empty, is anything wrong with this one".
"Nah, I just don't know how the other people around my room are gonna be".
What did she mean? She distrusts everyone but Stephen? She trusts him or what? Stephen thought. She's new, yet trusts him, like a long known friend. Then he managed to say.
"Yeah okay I'll get that room ready."
That whole day Stephen could only look at her and be amazed, then his lips would curve into a smile when he saw her pacing around her room, humming, running and bumping into everyone. She looked happy.
Next day at training it was hard for y/n to learn as she has never done anything like that. She got impatient with it, was almost on the verge of giving up.
Stephen came a little late, he was infront of the mirror, while getting ready, it wasn't his reflection that he was looking at, perhaps it was what he was looking at but all his excitement was on seeing his new student practicing in a few minutes, she wasn't having fun until Stephen came , seeing him her eyes widened and she called "doctor strange!"
"Stephen would work fine".
"Okay Stephen, it's hard I can't "
"You can " saying this with a smile he took her hand in his from behind and positioned it as he does to open a portal. His face was so close to her, she couldn't help but look at him with the corner of her eye, she could feel her cheeks turning pink. He could feel her hair tickling his face, her perfume almost hypnotized her. after positioning her hands he pulled away.
"That's how you do it".
"Thank you Stephen"
"I hope you're not having much trouble here" said he.
To this she looked at him there was something about her, whenever she looked at Stephen. She took his hand and kissed it and said, "If I'm happy today that's because of you".
Everyone staired at them, not knowing what's going on. He smiled and caressed her cheek. Then moved on to other students. She kept on watching him.
After the whole day of practice y/n roamed around the staircase. Hoping to bump into Stephen but Stephen found her before,
"What are you doing here?"
It startled her she turned, "oh Stephen, nothing just having fun".
"You look really happy"
"Yes I am, with you" said she to which Stephen smiled lowering his eyes, blushed did he he thought and shrugged it off when she enquired
"are you going to sleep now?"
"Yes it's late now , you should do the same".
"Okay" said she and went upstairs with him. Before entering her room she looked at him opening his room's door and ran to give him a hug "good night Stephen ". She said Stephen felt he was drowning into her rhythm, this flow was taking him in. He wrapped her with his arms too and whispered "see you tomorrow, sweet dreams y/n" . And then pulling away they both went to their rooms.
Next few days went such way, happily, with the cheerful new person that came to Stephen's life. He started to adore her. Such as if a hair strand bothered her by falling on her forehead while training he'd brush it off and it behind her ear, these gestures made her fall for him, each day even more, she knew only the map of her heart, she found Stephen like the spring she always waited for, to save her from her winter as well, yes her family and friends were nice yet she lacked that one person in her life, to love, to understand her.
Probably it was after a week one day she found Stephen walking by , taking a stroll. She thought of surprising her so she went from behind and placed her hands on his eyes.
He stopped, she was on her toes rather to reach his height. He giggled touching her hand as he stopped.
"I know it's you y/n"
"How?" She said now leaving his eyes and coming in front of him. Stephen's sight was blurry for being held close, as he opened it slowly it got back to normal. He then turned to look at her, she was definitely happy with him, her eyes told so.
"Ofcourse these tiny hands are yours" he said.
"They're not tiny" she argued back.
"Let me see" he said forwarding his hand asking to hold hers. She looked at him, with an adorable pout and she placed her hand on his. He held her hand.
"See tiny". And intertwining fingers, he walked with her. She followed him. Her other hand wrapped his arm.
"So have you seen those young guys over there" he pointed to a bunch of guys.
"Yeah why?"
"They likes you, you should talk to them".
"Nah, they're not attractive to me, you're the most handsome person I've ever seen".
"Me ? I'm not as young as them, I'm rather old."
"Stephen see yourself in the mirror you're gorgeous". Said she holding his hand even tighter.
Stephen looked at her he probably was getting used to her, being clingy, affectionate, wanting all his attention, it was adorable to him.
"But you may find someone special amongst them". He said teasing.
"I don't want them, you're better, you're special, you saved me". She said. Stephen didn't know if he was falling, yet his heart told him 'you are'.
One month passed , them being always together. She started to take him to the places she found cool, she is impulsive, young yet found bookstore, cinema and parks to be cool. She'd grab Stephen's hand with her eyes looking at ground, lips not having her signature smile when she'd feel uncomfortable because of guys staring at her. She's pretty so who wouldn't. To this Stephen would understand and bring her closer eyeing those guys to behave. He'd sometimes kiss on her cheeks to make her smile if she's still nervous or upset about something that happened before she met Stephen.
next day after practice she went almost running to stephen in joy,
"i made a portal!" she exclaimed.
"glad, you're friends called". Said he holding her phone.
"ah why?"
"it's two months, your training is done and they can't wait to meet you."
training done ? no way? to be without him was terrifying.
"you've got good friends, good parents, don't worry you'll be fine".
"not without you" said she.
"But they needs you don't they?"
"And you ?" She cross questioned.
Stephen gave a soft smile thinking 'yes I do need you but...'
"We're in the same country you can come anytime, come back anytime you want, I definitely want to see you again".
"But I... I... Don't want to leave". To this Stephen looked at her eyes. Tears ? Why?
"Y/n I'm old, you're beautiful and young, you must find someone as good as you are".
"Yet I need you, want you".
"Want me?"
She blushed and looked away. What did she just say. She just let her feelings come out.
"Is it true that you... You love me?"
"Yes, since I saw you, I've never been this happy Stephen. But perhaps you're right. They needs me, I must go back to them".
Stephen thought for a second, no, without her he'll be back to winter, it was cold, painful, she's brought warmth, he can only imagine him being happy with her, he loves her, so he said,
"Wait" Stephen walked towards her "I promised your parents to keep you content, but it wasn't my plan to connect my happiness with yours, I love you, it'll content me if you stay". While saying this a tear fell from Stephen's eye with the joy to be in love again. She felt her heart swelling in her chest she put she ran to cease what small gap they had between And she hugged him calling "oh Stephen, I love you." He hugged her back. Saying rather whispering "I love you too".
"But listen" he said still having her in his arms"as we've confessed our feelings, now that we're together, don't shut your parents and friends down".
"I won't I promise".
"I'll ask them for your hand in marriage".
"Really?"
"Yes".

Jonathan’s quotes in Vanity Fair’s oral history of Frozen.
If you’d told any of this to Jonathan Groff in 2013, he’d have done a double take. “I have to say, there was not this sense when it was being made that we were making a blockbuster movie,” says the actor, who costars as Anna’s strong but sensitive love interest, Kristoff. “That was not the expectation. Tangled was the animated film before Frozen, and that had done well, but it wasn’t a huge box office hit. So it felt like they were making another fairytale movie, and we’ll see how it goes.”
Jonathan Groff (Kristoff): I sang a Stephen Sondheim song from my audition: “Everybody Says Don't” from Anyone Can Whistle. And I remember feeling like I'm never going to get this. A couple of months after the audition, I got a call saying that I was in the final three. They take your audition and they pair it with Kristen Bell's voice, and whichever voice of the three of us paired the best with Kristen was the person that was going to get the job.
(Jennifer) Lee: Chris said, "Well, there is this guy who came in, Jonathan Groff. He's not what we were thinking at all, but you need to hear him." And they played Jonathan's voice, and I went, "Oh my God. It's like butter." Everyone was swooning—men and women, everyone. His voice was incredible.
Groff: I remember I was a hoarder at one point. I had this giant sleigh, I had all these tchotchkes—just random socks and suitcases and objects. It was a sleigh full of junk, basically.
Groff: There were fight scenes between me and Hans at one point. They were trying to find the tone. They were trying to find the
Groff: As the actors, we were just like, who am I now? It was just constantly laying down different things.
Groff: We could pop in and out. It was sort of like when parents don't notice their children growing because they see them every day, but this was the opposite: You could see them all dying internally because of how hard it was.
Groff: “Let It Go,” it was very clear that that was going to be a fucking thing. I remember thinking, oh my God—as a young gay child, this song would have been my anthem. I would've been in a gown at four years old, screaming “Let It Go.”
Groff: It was totally a Trojan horse. I really remember thinking like, oh no, what they're promoting is not what the movie is. Even the first poster was us just our heads popping out of snow. I think because Ice Age was such a huge sensation at that time, they were trying to lean into the comedy of the snowman and the reindeer. They were totally tricking everybody to come and see a classic Disney fairytale movie.
Groff: As a gay guy watching it, I'm Elsa. I think as a young girl watching it, you're Elsa. My friend's son, who as far as we know is just a normal straight boy, is in an Elsa gown. She allows us to all release our inner beast.

STEVE LOOKS AT HIS BIG EMPTY HOUSE AND THINKS FUCK IT
(ft. the beginnings of a beautiful friendship and shitting on the school dress code)
Steve has always been fascinated by the act of creating.
His father is a very strict and traditional man. Everything has a specific way it ought to be, and anything that deviates from this fixed set of beliefs is simply wrong. (No, don't go into the kitchen, Stephen. Why do you need so long to get ready, Stephen. This type of music isn't fit for a Harrington, Stephen.)
He finds it kind of ironic. According to the bible, Eve was created from Adam's rib. And yet, according to his father, it is only the woman that creates. It is the woman who creates homemade meals for the rest of the family. It is the woman who creates tales and stories to put the children to sleep. It is the woman who creates patterns and fabric and clothing out of loose textiles and yarn.
Steve isn't completely sure what the man is supposed to do. When his father is home, he mostly disappears in his study or watches TV. (Steve finds it kind of sad)
He supposes he should be grateful that his father is always so eager to leave. Maybe he would have convinced Steve of this trist world he seems to live in if he had had more time to whisper it into his ears. But as things are, Steve loves to create. It soothes something deep in his soul to watch his weird little trauma-bonded ragtag group of kids engorge themselves on a meal that he created. (And Hopper. Nobody appreciates his cooking more than Hopper.) It makes him feel in peace with himself to start his day by fertilizing and watering and occasionally repotting his plants. (The Golden Girls seem to be particularly effective in that regard). It makes him feel accomplished to see his babies thriving and growing, a visible proof of being needed. It makes him feel more comfortable in his own skin to be able to create a more genuine version of himself - with his face as his canvas - one he can somewhat recognize in the mirror.
He'd like to say that he managed to free himself of most prejudices his father somewhat attempted to breed into him by the time he is slinging ice cream at Scoops Ahoy! . (To say that his father tried his hardest when it came to anything regarding his family would be a gross overstatement.)
--
Steve had not been a good student.
First he threw meaningless party after meaningless party in an attempt to fill all the empty space his parents left behind.
Then he got together with Nancy, and he had never studied more. Which would've been great, if something about her learning style didn't just refuse to work with him. All the stupid facts he needed to know just didn't want to get into his head (he was trying, okay?! He tried to explain it to Nancy when she said that he was smart and just had to "apply himself more". But "this is just too boring" sounds like a weak excuse even to his own ears. And he really tries to be less lazy, everyone else seems to manage it just fine, but he just can't do it.
He leaned into it after a while. Pretended to be more dumb and oblivious and obtuse than he really is. Because then it wouldn't be his fault. It would be something outside of his control. Bad genes or just rotten luck.
It hurt a bit, how easily people believed him. And you know what they say, if you hear something often enough....)
And after that he was a bit too busy being terrified 24/7 and trying to deal with the aftermath of multiple concussions on his own. He was honestly surprised that he actually managed to graduate, half-expected to become another Eddie Munson.
That is all to say that you really don't have to be fucking Einstein to realize that skimpy sailor clothing that barely manages to cover your butt does not mesh well with ice cream that needs to be kept in negative temperatures at all times. But Scoops Ahoy! would need to actually care about its employees to change something about it, which - especially with communists and socialists and whatnot hiding in every corner wanting nothing more than to destroy America or something - was not very likely. To say the least.
--
One day Steve wakes up with a running nose and an itch in the back of his throat. It is not enough to call in sick, but it is enough for him to think fuck it and bundle up in a scarf and a cashmere jacket that actually belongs to his mother (it is ridiculously soft and it matches to the rest of the outfit so leave him alone, okay?!). As long as he is still wearing the stupid sailor's hat management can't complain.
Or that is what he thinks. Until his boss decides that today of all days is a great day to go to the mall, another jackass (that he is going to kill very slowly and painfully) loudly complains about the extra layers (THAT HE IS WEARING SO HE WON'T BECOME SICK AND THUS BE ABLE TO WORK MORE?!), and boss takes that as his cue to stomp into Scoops and loudly lecture him about "branding" and "marketability" and "wasted assets". Of course the universe decides that right now is not the absolutely perfect time to make a Demogorgon appear that releases everyone present from their misery. He barely has left the shop again when Robin is already laughing so hard she has to take her break earlier.
The next time he looks at the damned board there is another point under the "you suck" column. He argues that he should get one in the "you rule" category simply because someone looked at him in this horrible horrible uniform and thought that hiding all this was enough of a crime to literally complain to his boss. He must be a truly pitiful sight because she eventually relents.
--
Here is the thing about Robin. She is funny. She is snarky. She knew who he was in Highschool - hell, she was part of the group he used to terrorize for no reason - but she doesn't hold it against him. Sure, she will make fun of him and the "you suck" - game (which he insists should be renamed to the "you rule" - game) certainly wasn't his idea. But it doesn't feel angry or malicious. At least not anymore. Sure, her only way of communication seems to be bad jokes at his expense and she doesn't really notice when she occasionally crosses a line. But it still somehow feels like she is laughing with and not at him. (Maybe it helps that she makes self-deprecating jokes about herself as well.)
But the best part is how he doesn't disappoint her. You can't let someone down who has no expectations in you on the first place, though she manages it in a way that doesn't feel like a weight in his chest like it does with his parents.
He loves Nance (even though he thinks he is finally starting to fall out of love with her), but she never quite could hide her disappointment when weeks of studying together ended up in an average grade at best. And the little shitheads, god bless them. He knows they don't do it on purpose and that he is just being too sensitive, especially because he himself does nothing to convince them of the opposite, but it kind of stings when literal newborns who will probably get scholarships to ivy league in the future keep calling him stupid. It is, admittedly, pretty demeaning.
With Robin, there is none of that. Sure, she has better grades than him (not that that is particularly hard) and will probably be able to get out of this hellish place when she graduates, but for now they are both working at a dead-end customer-service and extenuating circumstances like those tend to bind people together. He would know. An angry customer can be scarily similar to a literal demogorgon.
--
The next day his nose is still running and his throat is still hurting and he seriously considers coughing into their sortiment as a rebellion of sorts more than once. Robin, of course, is having the time of her life.
"It's like the opposite of the school dress code", she jokes. "Don't you dare hide too much skin, young man, or you won't distract the potential customers!" He snorts at her exaggerated and yet eerily accurate imitation of their boss.
Then he has an idea. "Ooohhh, I know this face" Robin sinsongs rubbing her hands together. "This is your 'I'm going to do something stupid' face. You wear it concerningly often."
"Correction, Buckley. You are going to help me, and we are going to do something stupid. Together. It's not very patriotic to abandon your brother in arms in the trenches like that, you know."
She takes a sceptical look at their tiny shop. "Don't take it personally. But if there was a war. And our country was this Scoops Ahoy. I would rather join the dark side than help my brother-in-arms"
"You mean you would rather murder me than", he takes a significant look to the freezer hidden in the back, "chill with me here?!". She punches him (Robin is surprisingly strong for someone with such noodle arms), and sighs deeply in a way only underpaid customer-service-workers can relate to when a group of teenagers crowds the counter. Steve can't help his smug little smirk as they serve the group together and knows it is taking Buckley everything she has not to punt him in the face. She is totally going to be an idiot with him.
--
They need a second whiteboard, but Robin refuses to let the "you suck"-game go, so they pool their money together and buy the cheapest one they can find.
The first step is easy: Robin needs to find out all the dress code rules in Hawkins High and write them on their new board.
Then it is Steve's time to get to work.
--
Experiment #1: Fingertip Rule
"The length of skirts, skorts, and shorts must extend below the student's fingertips when the student's arms are extended at his/her sides."
"Soooo.....am I just going to have to find like....massive socks."
They stare at each other.
Steve raises one of his brows (he is proud of that one). Robin blows him a Raspberry. Steve bites his lower lip to stop himself from smiling. Robin is the first to break, this time. She bursts out laughing. He consoles himself with the thought that at least he won their little stare contest. Plus, with a big of luck and tigh-high socks, maybe this annoying not-quite-cold will finally go away.
--
The worst part of having completely cutt off contact with everyone in his grade is that he has nothing to do. Everyone he would be willing to spend time with is in fucking school so he has the whole fucking morning to do lots of big old nothings.
So maybe he had an ulterior motive when he suggested this little experiment. One that had nothing to do with a sore throat or a running nose. (He suspects that Robin is aware of that, too. But for once in her life she actually knows when to shut up, so whatever.)
That day he drives out of the parking lot and turns his beloved car in the opposite direction of his home. Sure, he could buy the yarn and the sewing supplies in Hawkins, and his father probably wasn't planning on going to that particular shop anytime soon. But Steve has nothing but time and it is always better to be safe rather than sorry. (Which is also why he always carries a bat full of nails in his trunk.)
It is only when he is already halfway there that he remembers that he is still wearing that stupid fucking uniform. Fuck. But it's okay. It's fine. He just can't let Robin find out that he forgot to take it off and had to actually interact with real people (they've decided pretty early on that customers don't count as those) while wearing it. The only worse thing would be to admit defeat and drive all the way back only to change clothes. Like, he doesn't really have standards or self-respect anymore, but that is a bit pathetic even for him.
And how good a decision that ended up being. As soon as he enters the girl at the counter gives him an appreciative once-over. He brushes away some of his hair almost on autopilot. He isn't sure what about sailor-themed polyester seems to work with so many people, but he sure isn't going to look a gift-horse in the mouth. Steve Harrington may not be very good in a great many things, but one thing he can do well is people. He is good at assessing other's intentions, knows how to be charming or how to subtly suggest an idea (manipulation is such a strong word) and project a certain image. He wasn't called the King for nothing, after all.
He stays way longer than he initially intended, but he is pretty sure the girl gave him a bit of a discount, plus she actually taught him the basics of knitting, so he is not going to complain. (At first she thought it was his way to get closer to her, but about five minutes in she realized he was way too intense about it for it to be solely that). So maybe he actually will be telling Robin of his little mishap so she has no choice but to give him another point in the "you rule" column.
The next day, for the first time in what feels like an eternity (he and time have always had a complicated relationship), he does not start his day sitting his butt in front of the TV boring himself to death until it is time to go to work.
Well, that is a lie. He does sit on his sofa the whole time. And he does have the TV on for some background noise. But instead of flipping through channels until he finds something he can at least pretend to be somewhat interested in, he takes everything he bought yesterday afternoon and starts knitting.
Or well, to say that he immediately started knitting would perhaps also not be too accurate. First he stares at the newly-bought yarn for who knows how long trying to decide on a color. His petty petty heart is begging for him to use the orange that clashes horribly with the navy blue of the uniform, but at the same time he should probably not immediately start with the worst possible combination, no matter how much he may want to. Instead, after a frankly embarrassing amount of contemplation, he decides to start with the red. It fits with the accents, and the blue doesn't become too overpowering. Then he begins. For real this time.
Or well. He tries. Turns out knitting is much more complicated when you don't have a cute girl next to you to correct you when you mess up. By the time he has to go to work, he has achieved a whole lot of nothing. (He had been pretty proud of his little square until he noticed that something was wrong and it was lopsided and weird and he couldn't exactly pinpoint it but it was bothering him so he undid all his progress and then had to run to his car when he realized he was already late for work.)
When he arrives he is out of breath and his hair more disheveled than he would normally allow, but he is also only ten minutes late and wasn't stopped by the police for speeding so he sees it as a win. He starts questioning his assertion when his lovely co-worker raises both her eyebrows, quirking her lips (She can't raise just one, which is half the reason why he does it). He follows her gaze.
"Hey, you can't expect me to finish two tigh-high socks in less than a day."
"I'm not looking at you inexistent socks, dingus"
"Interesting fashion choices, your majesty. Got your panties in a twist?"
Steve looks at Eddie Munson who seems to have appeared out of nowhere. Steve looks down. Steve sees that in his hurry he accidentally put his shorts on the wrong way around. Steve lets out a deep deep sigh.
--
The nice girl (he swears it was something starting with 'H'. Heather? Hannah?) said that she needs about three days for a pair of socks. Considering that, Steve doesn't think his one week is too shabby.
Of course, stupid innocent soul that he was, he once again managed to destroy all his work by letting it shrink in the wash. She (Helena? Hayley?) really hadn't been exaggerating when she said that knitting is at least as much unmaking as actually creating.
--
Six days later he arrives at Scoops on time for the first time in a week. (It had become personal, okay?! Not his fault time decided to fuck with him specifically for some ungodly reason)
He can see the exact moment Robin sees the high socks that go exactly as high as his fingertips reach - her mouth actually falls open. Her eyes widen further into an honestly comedic degree when he takes out the pair that had shrunken while washing.
"Buckley up", he says, finding himself very funny. "Brothers in arms, remember?"
Steve isn't sure if he should consider himself lucky or despair when their beloved boss actually graces them with his presence. Sure, all this had originally started as a way to see how much clothing is too much clothing according to the higher-ups. But his socks took a lot of work and it is very refreshing (ha!) not to have to freeze his legs off for multiple hours.
He takes a look at their whole fit and turns to Steve. "Harrington, didn't we already have this conversation less than a month ago?"
"While, yes, it may seem like that", Robin interrupts, manager always having had a noticeable preference towards her for some reason, "this actually doesn't conceal any of the important bits." Both visibly wince at that last part. She points towards the sliver of skin between where his shorts end and his socks begin. "According to school dress code, this is plenty distracting. You wouldn't disagree with the school principal who is responsible for the education of literally the entire town, right sir?"
At seeing the skepsis in his gaze Steve quickly intervenes. "Plus, I mean, the customers can barely see it anyway. You know, because we are standing behind the counter. So it doesn't make that big of a difference. And I'm still a bit sick". He coughs for good measure.
The boss looks at both of them with raised brows (Steve admittedly feels a sense of superiority at knowing his boss also can't raise only one like he can) and a long-suffering look as if he were the one who can look forward to two more hours of customer service. For a second Steve is absolutely sure that because of this idiotic little joke he and Robin are going to be fired on the spot. Instead he lets out a long deep sigh and nods in defeat before leaving them alone.
Robin immediately goes for the high-five. "Oh my god this was so great. Did you see his face?! Like-" , she makes a face that looks nothing like his had "Oh my god. I can't wait for the second experiment. This is going to be so much fun!"
This time it is Steve's turn to look at her incredulously. Maybe Robin is part of the group of degenerate people his father always warned him about.
--
Experiment #2: Hosiery Rule
"tights, leggings, or other types of hosiery must be accompanied by a fingertip length or longer top or dress."
The second their boss's eyes had narrowed at the sight of his socks, Steve had decided that he had enough. He actually needed this job - not in the least because he would probably die from boredom, and who would be there to protect the kids then?
But he hadn't counted on Robin's delight at sucking it up to the school dress code (even if nobody AT school knows of their nefarious deeds) and by the time the shift was over she had somehow convinced him to wear tight leggings instead of the demanded shorts. "The more see-through the better", were her exact words. At least he managed to stop her from going straight to the shoulder rule - he wasn't sure he was ready to destroy one of the uniforms he'd had to pay out of own pocket for this little game of theirs.
So as soon as Steve gets home he goes to the first guest room (he isn't sure what fight had had her barging into the bathroom with tears in her eyes years ago, but his parents hadn't slept in the same bed since. The only reason it is still called the "guest room" and not "his mother's room" is because married couples don't do that. Apparently. If that is what a marriage looks like, Steve would rather stay single forever. And why had he come here again? Oh, yeah. Leggings.
He approaches her drawers and prays that she has left behind at least one pair of yoga pants. He refuses to actually spend money because of this bullshit. (Okay, maybe that isn't strictly true. Because even worse than wasting money on a stupid pair he will only wear once and could possibly get him fired is the thought of Robin being mad or disappointed at him.)
Not for the first time he thinks that his mother must have had a wild past she never talks about. If he had to describe the woman in one word it would be classy. Her posture is always as straight as a flight attendant's or a model's. Her wardrobe consists of muted whites and creams. Maybe the occasional black if she is feeling especially bold. Her jewelry is always small but tasteful ("if it's too big, it's tacky. It makes you look desperate to prove something or to flaunt your wealth"). Her makeup, just like everything else, is elegant and purposeful. Classy.
But then El rummaged through her makeup drawers and somehow found a bold black eyeshadow palette with a cracked mirror (his mother is always very careful with her belongings). Or her son will to through her clothes in an attempt to find a pair of see-through skin-tight leggings that fit him and the only pair he can find is a truly abhorrent screaming orange.
He remembers how he considered making the socks orange to clash with the uniform and just barely stops himself from hitting his head against the wall. Ha. Ha. Ha. Very funny. Good one universe or god or whoever the fuck.
--
The next day he goes to work wearing the fucking horrible leggings. Robin does not look appreciatively enough of his sacrifice, which is probably because he knew he would never be able to step out of his car if he didn't cover it with some black jeans, at least on his way over to Scoops.
She understands his debacle when he goes to the back to take off his normal and socially acceptable pants and comes out wearing that thing he still can't believe he actually found in his mother's closet. Easy for her to laugh, considering her nice and non-offensive navy blue pair. She went through with her own advice and one can clearly see where her underwear begins. Steve is pretty sure that it is in no way appropriate to make fun of that. But Robin makes jokes about how he is never going to amount to anything and he is STILL wearing the worst clothes he has ever laid his eyes on for her, so he thinks he has earned the right. As expected, she punches him in the arm and screams at him for looking. (Never mind that he wasn't, it is just pretty impossible to ignore, okay?!) She wants to put on the extra shorts she started storing here after she accidentally let a huge ice cream cone with fudge and sprinkles fall on her and had to finish the rest of her shift with sticky clothes - yes, Steve did obviously make inappropriate jokes about that, although not nearly as many as he would today. He reminds her that the entire reason they are doing this is to be inappropriate, and that if she can cover her old grandma undergarments (Hey, I want to see you stand around for over an hour wearing fucking lingerie, asshole) he can take off the orange eyesore he put on JUST FOR HER. A bit of pleading (he is not going to be the only embarrassed one today if it kills him) and they are both standing uncomfortably and trying to laugh it off when the tenth customer takes a judgemental look at their legs (if not an outright comment, thank you Tommy and Eddie.)
Steve doesn't try flirting with every cute girl that comes around and can confidently say that he has never felt less sexy in his life (and that is saying something, considering he has had a concerning amount of injuries and near-death experiences over the last two years). Robin decides to put the "You suck"- game on hold for one day because Steve argues that they should add a talley everytime she gets judged as well, and she can't find any convincing counter-arguments.
Things did not get much better when the boss came around. Steve is pretty sure Robin's whole underwear situation is the only reason they weren't fired on the spot. She looks approprietly grossed-out when he voices this thought.
If there is one positive thing about this whole experience, is that he has never felt so close to his coworker as today. Trauma truly is a hell of a bonding experience.

Experiment #3 Pyjamas:
"Hawkins High includes pajamas in the category of provocative clothing"
"We are not doing this."
"Yeah, no"
...
"Do you like, sleep in lingerie or something? like, why would pajamas-?!"
--
Experiment #4: Shoulder Rule
"tops that have less than two fingers width of coverage on the shoulders are prohibited for any student, and shirts that are cut like A-style under shirts or beach wear can't be worn by boys."
Steve's cold is finally completely gone, but this whole experiment has stopped being about that weeks ago (if it ever truly was.)
After the humiliating incident that had been the day before, Steve and Robin were in complete agreement that there was absolutely no way they were going to stop their little game now and let the fucking mess that had been yesterday be in vain.
And so they have unanimously decided to cross the one line Steve had secretly sworn to leave untouched: mutilate their uniforms.
Now, they are both aware that that is their most radical move yet. And although some non-believers will vehemently deny it, Steve and Robin (well, mostly Steve to be honest) are aware that purposely provoking other people will sooner or later bite you in the ass (especially if those people are above you in the hierarchy). And so, for the next week, both wear their regulated uniforms. Their poor boss looks so relieved Steve almost confesses that this is only the calm before the storm.
"Why shoulders, though?"
They have decided that they can continue with their plan. Or, well, Steve had been so distracted with his new plant (he bought a bonsai that he named after Robin instead of the golden girls so he could have the satisfaction of cutting her branches when she'd been particularly annoying at work). And his parents had randomly come back for like a week and his mom had left a lot of new makeup releases behind, which of course meant that he had to experiment. Plus summer vacation started, and his unofficial and unpaid job as a chaffeur for a bunch of preschoolers with it. These same preschoolers also started bothering him at work more often, which meant: 1. Robin now had a lot more fuel to make his life hell, and 2. He'd been very lucky the kids hadn't been to the mall on leggings day.
Which means that Steve hadn't even started the modifications yet. But Robin only remembered to bring an extra shirt their next shift together, so like, they are both at fault here.
"Like, what about that particular arm region makes the teachers so horny?"
"Oh my god Steve ew! The code isn't- well, now that i think of mister Bernd, yeah. Wouldn't surprise me."
"I know. And I am so glad to be out of that place. So, a month sound good?"
"Hey. If you can finish it in half that time I will deal with the hard costumers AND willingly clean the really gross and sticky shit."
"I don't..."
"And you get another "you rule"-point. If I do get fired I want to have a bit of the vacations left, man."
"Okay alright, I'll do my best"
--
"STEVE STEVE STEVE STEVE STEVE ST-"
"What the fuck you fucking menace what's wrong?!"
"WHAT DID HE SAY??"
Steve sighs. He is relieved to see Max spending so much time outside of the trailer but Jesus H. Christ. He carefully lets the needles that were previously residing more or less safely between his teeth fall on the table, makes absolutely sure that they are indeed on the table in front of him (cursed things must be from the upside down with how they keeps disappearing on him) and grabs for the walkie-talkie again.
"Lukas. Max. I said: What the fuck is wrong with you two? Care to answer in a normal volume, shitheads?"
"Where are you?"
"At home?? Where else would I be?!"
"Well, that is convenient!"
"What do you-"
"I don't know? You never have time anymore! I don't know what the fuck you keep doing all day?!"
"Language Max!"
There is a knock on the door. Convenient indeed. Steve sighs.
--
He manages to do it in one and a half weeks (he has found that knitting is very calming when the night is too dark and the memories feel too real)
At first he had wanted to try huge sleeves that swish when he moves his arm, but a) that would take even more time and b) it would fall into the ice cream and make a mess so he opted to make the already existing pattern in his handbook for beginners. Except with a hole where the shoulder is. And the blue also doesn't quite match the uniform. And Robin's arms a bit too skinny. So like, maybe it isn't perfect, but that isn't the point anyways. Nobody is perfect and shit.
The first people he knows who see him like this are Nancy and Jonathan. (They seem to be on a date. He is relieved when the realization doesn't hurt nearly as much as it once would have.) After the five longest minutes he has ever experienced, he is almost relieved when he sees their boss coming towards them. The relief quickly turns into terror when he sees the look on his face.
Robin follows his gaze. "Fuck." "Fuck indeed."
"Wait, you said that all this started because of the dress code bullshit, right?"
"Well, actually, it all started because some asshole out there is incredibly attracted to me-" Steve does not have time to finish his correct statement before the boss gets there.
"Buckley. Harrington. Why are you wearing-"
"Wow, Jonathan! Don't you think that Steve and Robin look absolutely dashing?"
"I- sure. They look... great. I definitely would not have come to Scoops Ahoy on this fine day if I hadn't seen their attractive....shoulders."
"Right? Where did you get those, Steve? I want to buy some, too!"
He has no time to see if their boss buys this extremely fake display before his heart stops in terror as he sees his kids stomping towards him. He tries to gesture for them to go away without his boss noticing. They purposefully misinterpret his flailing and walk faster.
"Hey Steve, what are you wearing?!"
"Yeah it looks so great doesn't it?", which prompts Mike to look at his sister as if she just murdered his puppy in front of him.
"Didn't these fresh new outfits make you want to eat ice cream more than ever before?" , Robin tries to salvage this complete dumpster fire.
Thankfully Jonathan and Will seem to have working sibling telepathy because the latter slowly nods. "Yes. I am never in more mood for ice cream than when my eyes are confronted with...long sleeves and...bony shoulders."
--
Somehow they actually manage to convince him. He isn't sure whether he really believed them (unlikely), he just got too tired of their shit (relatable) or just didn't want to do the extra work of finding someone else (which, understandable, but c'mon dude). Either way, what matters is that Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley remain with a steady (if meager) salary. Plus they had to swear to never pull such a stunt again, which Steve is honestly kind of relieved by.
Unfortunately this victory came at a cost: now the party knows he can knit.
"Hey grandma Steve! My sock has a hole. Can you fix it?"
"Hey Steve! Remember that apron we gave you when we found out you can actually cook? Wouldn't it be fair for you to knit costum shirts for us in return?"
"Hey Harrington. We've got this stray that sometimes wanders near our house and since you can apparently knit-"
--
When the Russians threatens to pull out his fingernails, his first thought is that he won't ever be able to finish the "Anti-Russia Squad" socks he was making for himself, Robin and Dustin.

When they are drugged out of their minds, Steve tells Robin he named a plant after her.
"Her name is Fuck You Motherfucking Robin Buckley Jesus H. Christ I Can't Stand You. Get it? Because then I don't actually insult you-
"You're just saying the name of the plant so technically you aren't cursing at me-"
"but at the same time i get it out of my chest!"
"oh my god i need a house plant so i can curse YOU without insulting you"
"rude but fair"
"except that i am so terrible at taking care of plants somehow they always...they always die"
(they are still crying half an hour later)

Steve's graduation present is a soulmates-sweater. One huge two people sweater. They wear it almost every day for like a month. (People keep assuming that they are dating which is really annoying because NO? THEY ARE BOTH VERY MUCH AVAILABLE?? Platonic with capital P? Why is that so hard to understand?)

Can I request 10 and 14 from your mistletoe list for Stephen strange?
Sorry for making you wait so long. I hope you like it.😅
Just feel the Christmas spirit
Pairing: Doctor Strange x Fem!Reader
Doctor Strange & America Chavez & Wong & Reader
Summary: America just found out about the mistletoe tradition and she wants to hang some around Kamar-taj. You and Stephen help her, of course.
Stephen didn't understand why Wong thought it would be a good idea to throw another party at Kamar-taj. The previous time, despite being rather inebriated, he needed to make everyone forget about what had occurred. The fact that no one died is still a miracle to him, but the artifacts won't be returning anytime soon, and he didn't want to travel to the dark dimension only to look for them even if they probably had already been destroyed. Perhaps it was for the best that nobody remembered that party and since he was the one who cast the spell, it's not like other people actually knew what happened.
Just then Wong broke his train of thought “By the Vishanti, you are aware that I might use a hand.”
“I think you're doing just fine without me," the sorcerer said, grinning at him.
“You know that America always tries to avoid her responsibilities, but even she did more than you.” Wong said, standing in the center of the dining hall with his hands on his hips and a disappointed expression on his face.
“Give her a break; she's a kid." Stephen demanded as he eventually picked up a box of globes and walked towards the location of the sorcerer supreme. America has endured a lot, so he was happy to be able to provide her a life that was, at least in some ways, normal.
Wong just chuckled at that and took the box in his hands. ”Speaking of her, where is she?”
Stephen didn’t know why but he felt his heart drop. He usually had this absurd thought everytime he was with her at Kamar-taj. The incident with Wanda left wounds on all of them, especially on the girl, even if the sorcerer was aware that she was safe and that it was ridiculous to have that fear. He and you were always there, but the night terros she was experiencing were something else. God forbid she would open a portal out of fear because of the nightmare she is having. He can’t lose her.
“America?” He yelled, his brows furrowing.
"In the kitchen!" The younger girl's calm voice somehow eased the sorcerer considerably.
He went to the kitchen, where he was surprised to see that not just America, but also you were in there, eating cookies. On the counter, there was a book open as well, but he couldn't see the contents of it from where he was. He really needs to schedule an appointment.
“What are you two up to?” He noticed some cookie crumbs on your face and asked as he got closer to you. Then he softly brushes it away by running his fingers across your lips.
“Now that America is aware of the mistletoe custom, she wants to hang some around Kamar-taj.“ You chuckle softly and then stood on your tiptoes to give him a swift kiss before continuing on. “It is only fair that I help her.”
“But the question is.. do you wish to help us?" He simply couldn't say no because the girl's excitement was so obvious on her face. In addition, watching Wong's reaction would be amusing.
"I'm in if you also offer me a cookie." he makes a remark before snatching one from the girl's hand.
“Hey!” America then lunged at him from behind, laughing, and demanded that he should give her snack back. Oh, it was obvious that he wouldn't get away with it.
The three of you were sneaking around the temple for the next few hours, positioning mistletoes so they weren't too noticeable. However, thanks to your brilliant idea, when two people were standing underneath them, it would make a small firework, just enough to catch their attention without hurting them, of course. America once came dangerously close to being caught by Master Hamir, but she was lucky that Rintrah was nearby. She was saved too many times by that minotaur, especially considering that she occasionally skipped some courses. However, no one could blame her because she had to discover this universe because it was her home now.
The Strange family would have hung more if they had more time, but because everyone else had to leave to get ready for the party and it would have been suspicious if they were the only ones there, so they also made their way to the Sanctum. Although she enjoyed parties a lot, America hated the attire she needed to wear. She could have worn something more comfortable if it had been a regular party, but she was unable to do so due to the regulations, which Wong nevertheless adhered to strictly.
The robes you had to wear didn't appeal to either of you, but it would only be for a short while so you could resist. But if Stephen would stop kissing you, you could get dressed more quickly.
For a while, the two of you continued to kiss and explore one another, but when America knocked on the door, the sorcerer finally stopped.
“We're almost ready!” You yelled and he finally went to get dressed. You were still getting used to a literal kid being there, so yeah, having someone else in the Sanctum was odd, but not in a bad way. The first time she saw her room here would be a night you would never forget. You really didn't think that something like that could make you cry, but oh boy, you were wrong. The young latina did truly steal both of your hearts, but you wouldn't have it any other way.
She hardly voiced a complaint about the attire, which shocked you both, but it was obvious she was eager to go to the party. In fact, you three were interested in observing how others might respond to the mistletoes around the temple.
People were startled throughout the night when a pair of two occasionally managed to walk under one of the mistletoes. Some of them kissed, whether it was on the lips or the cheek, but some didn't. Since nobody began to inquire as to who actually hanged them, they were safe from the sorcerer supreme's anger. Not that any of you actually cared. —Who are you trying to fool? Wong is so scary sometimes.
"How's the party going thus far?" Your boyfriend's voice rang out from behind you.
When you glanced at him, it was obvious that he had already had some alcohol. Occasionally, it was entertaining to watch Stephen make a fool of himself. “If you were here with me, maybe I would enjoy the party more.” You stated as you give him a wink.
“Can I show you something?” he asked as he gave you a lazy smile. You nodded, and the doctor seized your hands in his and dragged you a little after him.
A firework burst into view as you were moving towards the Christmas tree. Stephen pulled you closer and gave you a gentle kiss despite the fact that you appeared perplexed about your surroundings and could not see any mistletoes.
Still curious about the location of the mistletoe as you pulled away while giggling, you asked him, "Where is it?"
He merely grinned at you and shrugged his shoulders without responding to you.
“Come on, Stephen.” As you began to play with a hair on the back of Strange's neck, you pleaded.
“It isn't visible.” He spoke as he leaned in close to you, his breath lightly brushing your lips.
"You really wanted to kiss me under an invisible mistletoe, didn't you? You didn't need to bring me here so that you could kiss me; you could have done it anywhere.” A proud grin lip up on your boyfriend’s facial features. He really was wasted.
He leaned in closer, just kissing you on the lips briefly, and murmured, "Just feel the Christmas spirit."
"I can feel the liquor on your lips though." Although you weren't entirely sure why he brought you here, as long as the two of you were together, you didn't mind. Also it was funny to spend your night with a drunk Stephen.

Prompt 27 Mr Butterfly
Stephen and Tony had just left the restaurant and were about to walk home when Christine called.
One of the patients had a complication, they wanted his advice, so Stephen went straight to the operating room, while Tony wandered off to the pediatric ward.
Many children had to stay in the ward on Christmas Eve, and it looked like every other day. Until the sudden arrival of Iron Man made everyone here excited.
As Stephen walked to the pediatric ward, he could hear the laugh coming from inside.
He opened the door to find Tony standing in the middle of the ward, surrounded by a gaggle of children, and they turned in unison.
“Mr Butterfly!”
Suddenly, a little girl pushed her way through the crowd and ran toward Stephen under the surprised eyes of all the doctors, nurses and Tony, screaming excitedly for a hug.
After only a moment's hesitation, he opened his arms to catch the little girl who had dashed at him.
"Hello, Emily."
She gently took him by the hand and turned to look at all the stunned people:
"I told you Mr Butterfly was true! He can do magic and make lots of butterflies! Right Steph?"
Emily lifted her head, shook his arm, and smiled at him expectantly.
Stephen paused and caught a glimpse of Tony smiling gently at him from the crowd. Christine, standing next to him, flashed a knowing, warm smile.
“Well,” he rubbed her hair and gave her a little smlie.
“of course, honey."
A flock of butterflies appeared and danced around Emily to her screams of excitement. A blue butterfly landed on her nose, causing the little girl to giggle.
"Wow they’re so beautiful!!! Thank you so much, Steph!"
The dull ward was filled with laughter and golden magic.
Stephen leaned against the wall and smiled warmly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Tony walking toward him, smiling widely.
“So, what was that?”
“I met her the last time I came, she was crying hard, so...”, Stephen shrugged.
“Mr Butterfly huh?”
"Oh shut up." he said, rolling his eyes with a smile.
"No way, Mr Butterfly." Tony winked at him, grasped his waist.
Cheers rang out all around them, then Tony kissed him deeply.
"This is the best Christmas ever, my Butterfly."
