bassist girl

bill kaulitz x reader

summary: bill tries to get you to take a break from practicing.

tags: established relationship, fluff, reader plays bass (obviously lol), cuddles!!, (tom makes an appearance bc i love them equally and i’ll feel bad for leaving him out), platonic tom/reader

lowercase intended :)

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

your fingers ache, yet you’re determined to get the notes right. the others had already gone out, probably mooching around town whilst the tour bus was stopped for a break. bill was sat on the bed across from you, which you couldn’t tell if it belonged to georg or gustav as they kept swapping based on who got on the bus first. his dark eyes are staring, yet it doesn’t make your skin crawl nor make you uncomfortable. “do you think you need a break?” he asks, you hum. “no. i’ll get it.”

the notes aren’t complicated, yet they require faster hand movements to make sure it fits with the flow of the song. bill’s eyes flicker between your concentrated face and your hand, watching it move then restart when you couldn’t quite capture what you wanted. “such a perfectionist.” he muses, clearly teasing. “you say that like tom isn’t.” you shoot back, glancing up at him with a small smile on your lips. “he doesn’t neglect his basic needs because he can’t cant a riff right.” bill gets up, moving to lean on the counter beside you. you sigh. “it’s a complicated riff. this has to be good otherwise i’ll fuck up our next show..!” you grumble, relaxing a little as his fingers comb through your hair. “you’re putting too much pressure on yourself. your finger work is amazing.” bill tells you, hand moving down to brush against your cheek. you exhale slowly through your nose, ignoring the pain in your fingertips as you begin the riff again.

bill sits beside you on the bed, shoulder resting against yours. you have to adjust your bass to accommodate him, it puts a lot more strain on your wrist. “take a break, mein hübsches mädchen.” (my pretty girl) you sigh. “i can’t. not until this is right.” you respond. bill’s slender fingers wrap around the neck of your bass guitar, slowly pulling it away from you. you let him, slumping back. “i’m gonna fuck up our next show, i know it.” you pout. bill frowns. “you won’t. you’re an amazing player.” he leans in, gently kissing your lips. “you’re just saying that to make me feel better.” you smile a little. your boyfriend hums. “is it working?” he asks, standing up to put your bass away for you. “yeah…”

bill returns, climbing on top of you and hiding his face into your neck, his arms wrapping around your middle. “you’ll be fine. you’ve done this riff a lot before.” bill mumbles, lips brushing against your skin. “but i haven’t done it recently.” you frown, squeezing him closer. bill rolls his eyes, moving his head to steal a kiss. “you’ll be fine, meine maus. it’s just nerves.” (my mouse) he smiles, rolling to his side with you so the two of you could cuddle more comfortably. you huddle close to him, letting your hands rest against his back. footsteps moving up into the tour bus don’t bother either of you. “jesus- can you two not?” you can hear the eye roll in tom’s voice. “hau ab.” (get lost) bill responds, a smile on his face.

tom flops down onto his bunk above the two of you, rummaging through his backpack as he went out to get snacks for everyone. “where are the others?” you ask him, yet tom shrugs (even though you couldn’t see him). “i don’t know, they went off without me.” tom sighs, leaning over the edge as he offers the two of you some snacks. bill snatches them up, “aw, poor tommy.” he teases his twin who scoffs. “give me those back-“ he jokingly lunges for the snacks, which bill shields away. you can’t help but laugh, watching tom break into a cheeky smile as his sits up again. he continues getting some stuff out, eventually you hear his gameboy turn on. “tom, have you got jet set radio?” you ask him, listening as he checks his bag again. “uhh… yeah, i do.” he responds. “fuck yeah. bring it down here.” you part from bill who pouts at you. “fiiine. only if you share your snacks with me.” tom hops down from his bunk, joining the two of you.

you end up sandwiched between the twins playing jet set radio as the two of you argue about which pokémon starter was best. bill occasionally feeds you some snacks, much to tom’s fake disgust. “i think she’s gonna beat your score.” bill mutters, kissing your shoulder. “of course i am. jet set radio is my favourite game..!” you giggle. “i don’t mind.” tom shrugs, pushing some more chips into his mouth. “you should, she’ll destroy your ego.” bill teases, watching his twin roll his eyes. “i don’t really play jet set radio anymore, she can have it.” he responds. “thanks, tom.” you chirp, yet your eyes don’t leave the screen of his gameboy as you work away at the score. bill leans his head against yours, watching you easily beat his brother’s highest score. it made him feel rather proud.

“i’m glad you’re taking a break.” he mumbles. you hum softly. “you two better not be flirting.” tom teases, nudging your leg with his foot. “we’re not.” you assure him, smiling as bill’s hand rests on your thigh. “when are the other two gonna get back..?” bill sighs, leaning back against your pillows. “they’re probably getting dinner, it’s getting quite late.” you shrug, glancing up at the clock. “i hope they bring something good.” tom replies, yet his brother scoffs. “you’ve just ate three bags of chips!” he points out, yet tom shrugs. “i haven’t eaten all day!” he defends. the level completes and you hand the gameboy back to tom. “done. try and beat that.” you grin, watching his eyebrows raise in surprise. “i definitely won’t be able to beat that.” he laughs, showing bill who nods. “i told you she’d destroy your ego.”

[downtofragglerock]

I finally read the bionicle story bible and here's the most interesting things I noted from it (I might be forgetting a thing or two)

while the gba game and the cancelled pc game are brought up multiple times, mnog isn't, at least from what I can tell

nokama, nuju, kotu, hewkii, hafu, and jaller all have different names

the turaga were originally called the kahuna

the noble kanohi were called the mortal kanohi and the hau was one while the huna was a great kanohi (this is not a case of name change as the powers they each have are still the same as they are in the final version)

gali and kopaka are said to be twins, the same is also true for onua and pohatu

tahu and lewa are stated to be besties, while the main tension between the toa as a group comes from tahu and gali, rather than tahu and kopaka in the final story

the toa kaita's domains were swapped

the kanohi were considered masks of wisdom rather than of power

the toa's trials to get them were more intellectual and puzzle based

the turaga in general have different characterization than in the final story, some minor, some major

pohatu is described as "slow" and "sure footed" as opposed to the speedster we know

while not outright stated, the text implies that what will become ga koro was situated on an inland lake, rather than the coastal settlement it will become

likewise, onu koro is coastal and may or may not even be underground

rahi as a term does not seem to apply to all of the island's creatures, rather two specific guardian beasts under makuta, the rahi tori (who will become the muaka), and the rahi kahu (later just the kahu, an ally creature to the matoran)

the manas are considered even separate from that

the tarakava were originally conceived as "boxing gorillas" rather than semi-aquatic reptiles

makuta's final form is described as having three heads, a cobra, a tiger, and a hawk

And two big ones (at least for me)

takua is absolutely nowhere to be found in this document, not even a slight hint at their existence

mata nui awakening and being revealed to be a giant robot that they were all living on was originally only the first part of an even bigger plot twist, that being that Mata Nui was only one of six giant robots that had all crash landed on the planet, and that the other five were still out there, comatose in very different environments (obviously this was clearly meant to be a potential way to continue the story if it did well, as it's been known for some time that bionicle's original story was initially only meant to last for one year)

Overall it was a very intriguing read, interesting to see what changed and what remained the same

[pkmn-nextgenadventures]

been kind of dead on here lately thanks to burnout / art block so here’s a fankid sketch dump from the past few months

beta redesign for Alyssa

Aquilo (Eusine/Tobias kid)

Hoku (Selene/Acerola kid)*

Seraphina (Riley/Volo kid from the alternate comaverse/protag swap timeline)

*once again rearranged my Alola ships so now Selene/Acerola and Lillie/Hau are endgame - Luna and Hoku are Selene/Acerola’s kids and Lillie and Hau have the twins, I’ll probably update the existing kids’ designs when I get around to it

Pokémon Fic Recs

Because I read a lot of fics and am always on the prowl, so I felt like sharing a non exhaustive rec list under read more. Feel free to add recs on reblog if you want!

Savoir-Faire: To Know and To Do -  This is the one. If there is a fic I beg everyone to read it's this. multi-chapter but not that long PLEASE do it. MC of an alternate XY was cursed by rampaging Legendaries with immortality. 10 years later, jaded Marguerite Linden du Bois is finishing her paper on Pokémon World Sociology, taking a newbie trainer for the road. Read for Humanities Things, Ghost-Types, the apathetic weight of immortality, worldbuilding, the workings of Pokémon League, Research Assistant Darkray, Royalty and more. I am begging you to read it.

Ashes of the Past - Peggy Sue fic where Cyrus destroyed the world and Arceus decided the best way to deal with that was send Ash back to the start of his journey (after some Aura training). Saphroneth writes fights *amazingly*, specially around Orange Island, where he took a break and came back with a glow-up. Fic is dead now, but consider reading, if nothing else, the Suicune or the Tobias Fight.

A professor and student + The 48 - I have this unproved feeling there is an overkill amount of “Ash is traumatized after Kalos" but this is The one about it. Kukui takes care of Ash in Alola and helping the boy set some boundaries and stuff. This and the wider “The 48” series are amazing Ash, and you can find great longer fics and one-shots alike here. Adults but not grown-ups (Alola Supporting Cast one-shots) and Left Behind (Ash and a Future Ash end up swapping time places during XY while brock is visiting) are real stand-outs. 

You Thought - Aliens invaded and took over the Pokémon World, but actual Pokémons still give them trouble. The premise may seem weird, but it is a means for amazing descriptions of how even the common Meowth could be terrifying and disruptive for an outside-context watcher.

A home can be found - Lillie during and after OG SM, finding a new family with Kukui, Bunet and her friends.

What the Sun Leaves Behind - Hau is inheriting Hala’s spot as kahuna after the latter died, and Gladion shows up to give him a pep talk when Hau runs off into the woods from nerves. It is tagged as Hau/Gladion but it is really a platonic deal.

A Little Bit of Maschiff - Juliana decides that getting a Maschiff of her own is the perfect thing for her friendship with Arven. She gets more than she bargained for, with Arven helping her tame the wretched beast.

The Clues - isshushipping. 5+1 One-Shot Fic of N being In Denial about Team Plasma during BW.

colder in the summertime - One-shot. Morty is cursed. Read for pretty boys in cold fever, nosebleeds, exhaustion, the whole shish-kebab.

Read It Now.

Collateral - Faller!Touya, and the International Police helping him, while his friends try to find him. Sad. Great.

Pinky Promise - Gloria/Hop One-Shot. Hop fighting for dear life to get Gloria a Christmas Gift.

Massive “The Kids Are Doing Fine” energy. Adorable.

The Earth, the Sky and the Sea - An enigmatic narrator retells and expands the Hoenn Weather Trio story. Excellent atmosphere. 

HIS2435: Sinnohan Myths and Legends - Cynthia giving a College-level History Class. Chaos Mayhem Etc. Lots of author touches and headcanons and references but can be comfily (and hilariously) read on its own.

Masahop/Train shipping section (I may have a problem)

Do you believe in love at first sight? - Hop getting a crush on Gloria, slowly realizing over the years he’s actually in Love with Victor. Vic is the MC/Champion. The fic has a charmingly unique Victor (chronically ill/frail immune system - Hop gets to care for his health a Lot it’s cute), and feels very Earnestly Adorable in Hop’s bisexual crisis. writer is requesting feedback so please give them some love!

Kiss Your Neo Champion - Hop got his Neo Champion clothes. He has a boyfriend. What is not clicking

Sunshine Riptide - Instead of Words, I’ll put these excerpts here:

[cheemken]

Heyyyyy!!!! It's me once more from the last 3 asks. So I have others questions this time around that I would like to say to you regarding the Pokemon Champion Body Swap AU if you don't mind that is.

1. How did exactly the champions swap bodies? Was it because of Manaphy because I know it is the pokemon who has the ability to swap bodies of pokemon or people? Or is it something else entirely?

2. Do you think Sycamore and Sonia would help the champions sort their problem since they are both professors? And maybe Lillie? Idk.

3. Do you think a friend of one of the champions would tried to find Manaphy or at least a Manaphy egg to help swap them back? If so, who exactly?

4. I knew you already answer a question similar like this before, but... What is exactly Hala's reaction to the body swap? Is he fine with Geeta in his grandson's body around? How does he cope with the fact his grandson could be anywhere in one of the champion's bodies? But still, you are right for Hala storming out of Alola just to find his grandson😂

5. I know this sounds very personal to ask, though how do some of the champions handle going to the bathroom to pee problems? Do they ask for the assistance of some of the characters or just do it on their own?

6. Who out of the champions is most uncomfortable with the situation and which one is the least? Or are they all just equally unsettled?

7. How long does their body swap last exactly?

8. How does Geeta think of the Alola kids and other Alola characters? And Steven too with the other Unova characters since he was being interrogated like a Plasma grunt? Or Hau with the Indigo league? Or just the others champion with each of the region's league? I bet someone in the Indigo league would give Hau some ice cream or any dessert in general just to calm him down lol. If so, who? Though, I'm sure Hau will be disappointed about the fact that they are no malasadas in the Johto region😂

That's all! Hope it's not too much! Also I would love to play the Reverse: 1999 game however, my phone storage is almost packed😥 Still, I bet it's a good game though! :D

Ah this is quite long hahah

But yeah to answer these

1 and 3] No, actually, I didn't think of Manaphy when making this, instead what I had in mind was like smth similar to the anime Kokoro Connect, are you familiar w that? But yeah, in that anime they kinda switched bodies and such y'know, all bc of this guy iirc, but here it's not a guy, it's just me thinking it'd be funny lmfao

2] I think Sycamore would help, as would Sonia, seeing as these two are close w two of the champions, and bc now that Sycamore found out it's Leon he finally understands why Dia doesn't like him much lmfao (just a lil hc of mine really, that Dia and Leon don't like each other much)

4] Hala would be weirded out lmfaooo like that is a grown woman inside his grandson's body, and he doesn't even know where his grandson even is. I think he'd be low-key unnerved by Geeta, she just has that effect lmao, but she does try to be civil and explains to him that hey, she has contacted the other champions, and they'll find Hau soon enough (and then right after her phone rang w a message from the Indigo League and safe to say she finally get to answer Hala's question on where Hau is)

5] look look listen, Steven just tries to hold it in or he'd just, not look as he does his business, Leon and Dia on the other hand yeah they're like, struggling™ lmfao, they're too prideful to ask for help tho let's be real

6] Steven, pls, save that man, he's being interrogated like he's Zinzolin😭 the others are at least a bit chill, w the other leagues helping them out and even some friends and family, but Steven was far away from Hoenn, and he does not at all like the way Hilbert, Drayden, and Drayton are looking at him as if he just killed Iris in front of them lmfao

7] I haven't actually thought abt it much ngl hahah for the lols probs a week, just so the champions are like, aware that oh, so this is what the others are going through

8] I think Hau would finally calm down and maybe even befriend the Indigo League tho, they're nice, like, yeah some are intimidating, but they're really nice to him, and even gave him a Rage Candy Bar, while it's no Malasada, he appreciates it

Cynthia and Lance, well, they're vibing™ lmfao, like, other than being teased by Lisia, the twins, and even Sidney and Brawly, well, least they're trying to figure out how to help. Granted they're all weirded out at seeing Lance's scowl on Steven's fave lol

Wallace in the Sinnoh League, honestly they're just weirded out how Cynthia looks more active, like after the reveal yeah ofc it's Wallace, but damn it's still so surreal seeing him at the lake and dancing w Milotic, bc ofc, it's Cynthia's body, and they have not seen Cynthia dance like that lmfao. Ofc Gardenia have that shit filmed ofc she does, blackmail when Cynthia gets back to her body

Steven, oh we already know how he's faring lmfaooo he thanks Arceus above that Bianca doesn't look at him weird and actually tries to help and well, stop Hilbert from killing him

Leon, yeah, he sees the side eyes Sycamore gives him, and the side eyes Malva gives him, and the side eyes Siebold gives him, and he also thanks Arceus that Drasna and Wikstrom are helpful, they decided to not tell the rest of the league just yet, as rumours spread like wildfire in Kalos, and they don't wanna make this a big issue as they're trying to resolve it w the other champions. He made a joke that maybe Malva would report this, the side eye that Malva, Siebold, and Sycamore gave him almost asphyxiated him w how thick the tension was lmfaoooo

Geeta, honestly after finding out where Hau is, and which champion is in control of her body, well, she's now just waiting for further instructions from the others. Hala is still vibing, he's there saying that maybe Hau should come back home here, but Geeta said that that won't be ideal w their current predicament, and told him that hey, she can play Hau well right? No one would suspect anything (she's awful lmfao, everyone figured out real quick but just played along)

Dia, was,, well, tired™, look, the only thing she's looking forward to everyday is the fact that she can come home to have dinner w family. While it's not her family, she's there just imagining that Leon's mom and Hop are Drasna and Sycamore. She absolutely hated doing Leon's pose tho, and there was on time a crowd wanted her to do it and ofc she did bc in their eyes she's the undefeated Leon (and God she scoffs at that), and when she does it she's dying of cringe and prays the earth swallows her whole. Sonia notices everytime and can't help but snicker, for a seasoned actress like Diantha, she's always so close to breaking character when doing that pose

Iris loves the feeling of being tall tho real, Geeta is one of the taller champions along w Leon, Lance, Cynthia, and Wallace, and while Iris is getting taller as she's growing, but damn, she loves Geeta's height lmfao. Penny looks up to her as she tells her what she has to do to make it seem natural she's like Geeta, but Iris is so distracted by the way she sees a lot of things through Geeta's eyes w this height hahah

But yeah hahah

Also, I'm sorry but like, I hope you understand that I'm not that motivated to make pkmn aus and hcs that much anymore. Don't get me wrong, pkmn is still special to me, I still reblog stuff, but yeah, I'm like,, really not motivated much to make aus and the like, I'm sorry ;w;

But hey, I hope my answers for your questions suffices tho hahah

[asterwritesfanfics]

Hi, I'm AsterWrites, but you can call me Aster. I'm planning on writing some MHA Oneshots, Sans AU Oneshots, Pokemon Oneshots and possibly a series. (Some self-inserts will have OCs as the main character)

The content I will write are fluff, smut, angst, and occasional self-insert oneshots. The tropes I will write are; enemies to lovers (healthy), friends to lovers, unexpected pregnancy, found family (platonic relationships), soulmates, omegaverse, fantasy.

Characters I write for:

MHA: (Mainly) Dabi, Shoto, Deku, Bakugo, Iida, Tokoyami, Denki, Kirishima, Tomura Shigaraki, All Might, Spinner, Dabi, Twice, Natsuo, Miriko (Kinda) Aizawa, Mirio, Amajiki, Hawks. (NO) Endeavour, All For One, Toga, Chisaki group, Giran

Sans AUs: (Mainly) Nightmare, Dream, Cross, Error, Horror, Dust, Killer, Swap, Ink (platonic only), Lust, Dreamswap Dream, Dreamswap Blue, Dreamswap Error, Dreamswap Nightmare. (Kinda) Outer, Swapdream Dream, Fresh, Geno, Reaper, Birdtale. (NO) Anyone created by the creator of the NaJ AU

Pokemon: (Mainly) Gladion, N. (Kinda) Maxie, Archie, Cynthia, Hau. (NO) Ghestsis, Cyrus, Giovanni

Obey Me: The brothers, datables, and side characters (if you request them, please tell me about their personalities, I am not far in the game)

Now I need to figure out how to make a masterlist

ALSO, if my grammar is bad, even though English is my first language, I'm a fast typer after having experience of writing ever since Elementary, mix that with Autism and ADHD, there will be some misspells, if there are, please let me know

Rules: No non-con requests, no stepcest requests, no incest requests, for minors, it will only be fluff unless the request has it where the character is 18+, I am allowing people above the age of 14 to interact with my content cause I too did read smut as a 13-year-old but that was because I was on Wattpad, no abuse, I will not be writing any Hawks x Reader x Dabi, I will write disabled characters, I will write gay relationships, no abusive relationships with the requested character

[invisiblemelonmoose]

Apparently, I'm a dummy who's used to queueing everything that I did that instead of post this last night. Final prompt piece coming tonight.

Day 1 - Confession/Vacation

Elio: I LIKE YOU MORE THAN MALASADAS!

~Later~

Hau: Wouldn't it have made more sense if I said that to you?

E: It made more sense in my head until I'd said it...

It's a crime how long it took me to find a ship name. It wasn't on any list and I just found it browsing through tags. Even tho I ship moonlily more, I shipped this first because of those Train On trailers for the games. (Elio is Shohei and Hau is Hoku obvs)

Day 2 - Parallel/Swap

Honestly their existence as a ship is all about parallels. First trainers (first one/first girl, hence the name), in story the best in their region, red oni blue oni but inverse, etc.

[pokemon-icon-factory]

do have a favourite trans headcannon? i like hearing people talk about their trans trans headcannons :3

> Ohhhh let's see. Personally I hc Eri, Bill, Roxie, Archie, Siebold, Hau, Bede, Penny, Jasmine, Tulip, Iono, Leaf, Bianca and Jupiter as trans, but I also like trans Lana, Elesa, Cynthia, Volo (shout out to the Volo-is-immortal theory and she is now Cynthia I think I put it down horribly sorry it's late here), Cyrus, Saturn, Jessie and James (specifically if they're genderfluid and swap roles so to speak)

[ether-gearhead]

It’s still weird to me that apparently, Elio and Selene’s USUM designs (known as Ray and Ailey)aren’t counted as their own characters, at least according to Masters! Like, one Trainer in Malie Garden was renamed between SM and USUM because they gave the girl her name for promotional material, and I get that it’s a nonissue in Japan because her name there is Honoka, but you can’t tell me Ailey wasn’t supposed to have that particular name, if not be her own thing entirely! And I get that Hau got a second Badge too, but he still got Rowlet, while the protagonists got their starters swapped! What am I to make of that, huh?!?

[meistoshi]

turns out there is something to be said for leading by example. having seen him regularly spar with lucario, & having heard of his spar with hau, satoshi's pokémon seem to have a polish on their existent vigor, throwing themselves to training even harder, even in their trainer's absence. they've been periodically swapping spar partners, even egging on satoshi himself to come train with them when he's present.

mijumaru in particular seems extremely proud of himself, his grasp on his scalchop far more secure, & more confident in its ricochets.

so it's met with more delighted pride than surprise when during a session with dodaitose there is a bright flash that has nothing to do with a move.

mijumaru evolved into futachimaru !!

[mossarchives]

After trying to not bully Wyn by saying this song reminds me of him I have now given him a song that reminds me of him

Lagtrain - inabakumori

: ) sorry son boy

THIS GOT AWAY FROM ME SO BAD KSDHFKS Thank u for enabling the part of my brain that never shuts up about my favorite OC <3

I went all the way back to Monster Haus Wyn (with some names swapped for their nulliverse counterparts) for you so naturally: TW: Mentions of Death

—

With a flick of his wrist and two fingers pinched on the wooden sign The Chosen Brew goes from 'closed' to 'open'. Wyn double checks that the lock is upright and then shuffles back behind the counter to wait.

It's raining outside, a steady flow of water sliding down the wide windows and turning the sidewalk outside into a smear. He can hear Emery moving around in the back, transferring sweet smelling cookies out of the oven for a sheet pan of coffee cake.

Wyn swipes a pen from the cup beside the cash register, needing to occupy his twitching fingers. He's only been awake for two hours but his head is twisting itself into knots. It's pathetic. There was so much he was supposed to be happy about. He should be in a better mood, should be molding his lips into the light smile he's finally perfected, but his eyes refuse to focus how he wants them.

His sister had applied to a college two towns over, close enough to visit with ease but far enough that living in a dorm would be best. After living in a bed and breakfast for nearly a year, a dorm seemed downright luxurious.

Emery was also moving house, now that things had gotten more serious with Isadora. Still in Asher's Glenn, of course, because The Chosen Brew would have to be pried from her cold, dead hands and one would have to get through Wyn and Lochlann first. She'd already applied for her favorite of the handful she and Isadora had toured, and all hands were preemptively on deck to help her pack.

Then there was Wyn.

Static. That's his issue. Time ticks ever onward and leaves him scrambling to catch up. He can't go to college like his sister, or even see about getting an apartment anywhere. Legally, Wyn doesn't exist, and he's never using Dimitri Winthrop on anything ever again.

He's long overstayed his welcome at The Bird's Nest, but there isn't really anywhere else to go. He couldn't exactly move into his sister's dorm. Chasing him from Oregon to New York was one thing, but following to her college was another. He could ask Ryouma, but his apartment above the library was fairly small, and Wyn wasn't sure he was ready for that step in their tentative relationship. His options were shaping up to be hiding out in the storeroom or moving into the dormant Monster House.

He's not going to ask Emery. She already feeds and pays him, he's not going to add giving him a place to stay to his never ending debt.

“Wyn.”

He lets out a yelp, the pen jolted from his hand as he jumps. Lochlann is standing on the other side of the counter, waiting, staring at him.

“Jesus fucking Christ, Lochie!” He clutches his chest, trying to force his soul back into place. “How long have you been standing there?!”

Lochlann shrugs. “A few minutes. You didn't notice.”

“No shit.” Wyn lets out another wheeze, trying to get his heart to resume normal human activities. As much as he loves Lochie, her arrival had reminded him of the final nail in his coffin: the impending failure of his body. Every time she says his name he feels his soul lurch, the unfortunate price for being friends with a dullahan while on the fast track to death. If he's lucky he's got ten years until the blood ritual really starts to tear him apart from the inside.

Just another one of the many ways the world is leaving him behind. Lovely.

Lochlann bends down and retrieves the pen he'd inadvertently thrown at her. “Is everything okay?”

The lie is almost trivial at this point. “Yeah, just tired. What can I get you?”

She scans the shelves of tea behind him. “I liked that lavender tea you gave me last week, could I get that?”

“Sure thing.” Wyn turns to fetch a mug and the tea she's requested. He doesn't get why Emery puts the tea so high up, even he has to stretch and he's much taller than her. She's going to need a step stool when he's...

Nevermind.

As if summoned by his thoughts, Emery steps out of the kitchen dual wielding trays of breakfast pastries. She gently hip checks Wyn out of the way as she passes and sets them down on the counter.

“Good morning, Lochie.” Emery twists to the side to look at Wyn, one hand braced against her hip. “And you, did you eat?” Wyn squints, trying to think, and Emery just rolls her eyes. She sets a danish on a plate and slides it towards him, ready for consumption once he's done serving Lochie.

He sneaks a few drops of lavender scented oil into her tea so the smell is stronger and then passes it over. “Here you go, one human-passing cup of tea for you.”

“Thank you.” Lochie reaches out, stiffly, and ruffles his hair, making him sputter in annoyance. Emery laughs as she slips past him to grab more pastries for the case, and Lochlann is already in her window seat by the time he's combed his hair from his face.

Sighing, Wyn turns to start making Emery a latte, shoving the danish between his teeth as he goes about the familiar motions. It was a new recipe morning, so he knows that she hasn't had the chance to drink anything other than her wake up cup of coffee. He's gotten the hang of her seasonal preferences, and Wyn won't lie and say he doesn't enjoy the pride in her voice when she compliments his work.

The routine takes his mind off the darker of his thoughts. Floral teas for Lochlann, flavored lattes for Emery, and black tea with ungodly amounts of honey for Briar. Little habits engraved on the fragile flesh of his heart. To love someone is to take care of them, and maybe that's the one good thing about being static.

It's not going to fix the twists and tangles in his mind, but it's a start. It's better than the Wyn that stumbled into this haunted town, even better than the Wyn that defended it. No matter where everyone else went, he would be here for as long as his body let him.

Wyn was notoriously stubborn after all.

Ch XII

Amused but not surprised to find that Eve’s love language is violence. So much kicking.

Enjoyed the “Russian smile” call out. I like thinking that it’s Eve’s way of seeing Oksana, even if she doesn’t realize that’s what she’s seeing.

I’m fascinated with how maladjusted Eve is and am enjoying that we continue to get little morsels about her childhood. Everyone experiences trauma differently, but contrasting her and Villanelle’s memories… it’s wild seeing where they’ve ended up.

Makes me happy to read about the pair of them flirting and playing together. Are they both chock full of cruelty and homicide? Sure. But it’s super cute.

Awkward acknowledgment and gratitude for the body contact/compression. Hopeful for an upcoming perspective swap where we can read how it made Eve feel, if Eve even knows.

Is it weird how much I like their interpersonal confrontations? I feel like fights with Niko centered on Niko’s needs and feelings, but when Eve gets testy with Villanelle, Villanelle pushes back differently. Villanelle centers the dialogue in a way that forces Eve to acknowledge her own feelings—and it makes Eve recognize how she’s treating Villanelle without making her more defensive. Cathartic as fuck.

Another one of Villanelle’s cheeky wordplays. “…fucked the life out of someone… .” Hooo boy, did she ever. Love, love, love it.

Oksana’s breakdown about family. :((( How are these moments so much harder to read than descriptions of fingers digging into intercostal muscle tissue? You know the scene in season 1 where Eve says Villanelle has earned the right to kill whoever? That’s how I feel about Oksana whenever I reread Oksana or Uncle or little moments like this family scene. You go ahead and murder whoever you want, sweet girl. *gentle pat on the head*

I’ll be honest, I have never liked Hélène’s character. Every moment she’s in the show, my brain screams SKIP. But I trust you and look forward to how you’ll leverage her character for something interesting and intrinsic to the plot.

As ever, thank you for a lovely chapter after the last few weeks you’ve had. I have this saying, “One too many rides at the fair”—whether it’s good or bad things, sometimes we experience one too many things and it ends up overwhelming. It sounds like you had a lot of rides at the fair. I’ve had a lot of rides at the fair lately, too, and it was such a kindness to still have a new chapter of TME to read. Really, thank you, haus.

tme anon

           " you good, kid? lookin’ kinda lost over there. “  

                            y’know what sucks? fucking  door duty.  at least, the haus’ version of it sucks. when he took the job cosmo was expecting a lush desk to sit behind all day long, maybe a computer for when he’s bored, inside with heating in winter and a.c in summer. he saw  door duty  and thought  oh, receptionist. nice!  

                   bullshit.                    he’s not even watching a fucking door!!!  just sitting outside auster at one of their barrels, prefilling the ashtrays with his boredom in case the patrons later are too fucking stupid to know where to tap out smokes. he sits there hours at a time, drinking cold coffee and rereading the same book he keeps forgetting to swap out of his bag, waiting for  -----   honestly, he’s not sure. cops, maybe? east siders that got lost, pockets weighing them down? targets for the boys?? who fucking knows at this point. 

         “ ----- this isn’t a good neighbourhood. might wanna keep moving. “
