little lion | Luke hughes au! ↠ when luke and liona meet. - fic. ↠ au Masterlist!
warning: underage drinking. word count: 1.4k+
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
if her father knew whose highrise she was at, and what she was doing- he'd kill her. no, scratch that. he'd ship her to russia, have her grandmother lock her in the basement and never see the light of day ever again. to be frank, liona didn't even know how she ended up here to be quite honest. her and her group of friends since highschool had been invited to a party in newark at an off campus house and then the next thing she knew they were here, after getting a 'better invite'. her and her best friend rain, stood in the corner waiting for gavin and chris to come back with drinks for them. they saw them emerging from the kitchen, and liona sighed. "i cant believe chris scored an invite to a new jersey devils place!" rain whispered yelled and liona smirked. chris handed her a red solo cup, and gavin gave rain one. chris wrapped an arm around the girl's shoulder, and sipped some of his liquid.
gavin and rain began to talk about whatever was happening at law school, while chris and liona just listened. they had no knowledge or the logistics of their degrees, so they just took in all of it as well as the drama. the two ended up rambling on their own while chris and liona looked at one another, before laughing. "you going to see andrei soon?" chris questioned, and kailey shrugged. "i don't know, my dad wants me to come home to visit and offered the Carolina game but i don't know." she said finishing her cup. "im getting another one." she said raising it a bit, and chris nodded. "if you're not back in 5 minutes, im coming and finding you!" he announced and she nodded with a small smile. she weaved in and out of some people, finding her way to the kitchen. she set her sights on a seltzer that was in the open bowl of ice, and snatched it quickly. "is that the last cherry?" she heard to her right, and she looked through the other ones before turning to the person.
she turned to the right seeing a tall boy, brunette curly hair and hazel eyes. she swallowed before speaking, "uh there's no-no more." she stuttered pulling some hair behind her ear. he nodded, "can you hand me a random one then?" he questioned and she nodded enthusiastically and grabbed him a random one. "thanks-" he waited for her to fill in, "uh liona." she responded holding her hand out, he took it softly "luke." he responded, and they let go of eachother's hand. "do you know dawson?" he questioned and her eyebrows crinkling gave him her answer. "who?" she questioned and he chuckled softly. "my teammate, who are you here with?" he questioned. "you play hockey?" she asked softly and he nodded. oh fuck, she thought. "um im best friends with chris." she said and luke made a face of recognition. "i know who that is, he's pretty cool." he said and she smiled widely. "oh yeah definitely wouldn't have kept him around all these years if he wasn't." she tried to joke but it fell flat. she looked at the ground before both of them tried to speak at the same time, "do you wanna-?" and "im gonna go." the two of them blushed and chuckled softly. "would you wanna go somewhere and talk?" he questioned, and she looked back towards her friend group. "ummm.." she trailed off turning back to look at luke. "we don't have to, was just curious!" he said and she shook her head. "id like that, i just need to go tell my friends." she said pointing behind her. he nodded and followed her back into the living room. "hey guys im gonna go -" chris cut her off by greeting luke, and doing a bro hug with each other. gavin also bro hugged him, with rain and luke getting introduced to one another. "were gonna go talk for a bit, ill let you know when im ready to go?" kailey confirmed, and gavin pushed her playfully while chris just nodded. the two walked off towards the small movie room that dawson had.
_
next thing they knew, it was 2 in the morning and the two of them had been talking for a few hours at this point. then she dropped a bomb on him, "you're dad is the alex ovechkin?" he asked eyes wide and wonder lighting up his face. she nodded softly, "ye-yeah." she said shrugging while looking down at her converse. "oh well, that's really neat! you said your parents are not together right? was the schedule too much and stuff?" he asked and she shook her head, "no uh, once she found out she was pregnant with me..they had already broken up and he ended up fleeing back to europe before getting some sense knocked into him. but they used to fight like cats and dogs, some of my earliest memories typically ended up in a fight. so yeah, they couldn't get along longer than a few hours." she hummed, biting her lip nervously. he nodded, "im sorry kai- i mean liona." he stuttered and the way he said her middle name, was heaven. "y'know nobody has ever called me just kai before...but i liked it." she hummed while her cheeks became even rosier. "kai, huh?" he questioned with a glint in his eye, as he grinned. she nodded, "liona kai ovechkin...a mouthful." she hummed shrugging. "its perfect." he responded. "my dad though just says lion or little lion, because apparently im the forthcoming of him or i guess the second coming..." she trailed off with her eyebrows creasing in deep thought. luke found it all quite adorable.
"lion..lioness... definitely suits you." he mused and she snickered. "well if you'd like i can give you permission to call me kai." she teased and his head cocked to the side a tad bit. the two were sitting next to each other on the couch, knees only a mere inch apart. both of them looked over at one another, and luke was debating if he should do what he wanted to do. and that was kissing her. while liona was telling herself he did not like her, he was just being nice.
luke began to lean in and a his left hand quickly found her chin, pulling her softly closer as he stopped a few inches from it. his gaze had been focused on her pink lips, and now they were gazing in to her brown eyes. almost as if to ask if it was ok. she nodded softly once, and his lips were on hers. his right hand came up to her cheek, as she pulled him in a bit by the neck. but luke being the gentleman that he was (because queen ellen raised him right) he did not go any further. they pulled apart, chests heaving a bit as their foreheads rested against each other's. liona was about to lean in again but he pulled his face away by a few inches, and he could see how much that hurt the girl. she stood up, pulled down her shirt a bit by smoothing it and cleared her throat.
"kai-" he said but she put her hand up, not meeting his gaze yet. she shook her head, "its fine. i totally get it, i don't know what i was thinking there for a second." she paused ruffling up her hair a bit, and looked up at him. "its fine, im not sure any guys would want to be with me anyways. so its fine, luke." she rambled before spinning on her heel, and heading out to find her friends. the group had dissipated just a bit. chris was the first one to recognize her from the small group he was in, and quickly made his way over. once he reached her, he saw tear in her eyes. his face and tone in full protection mode, "what happened?" he asked checking her body for any brusies or cuts. she shook her head, "id just like to leave." she said as her voice cracked. he nodded profusely, wrapping an arm around her back and leading her out of the highrise.
not without luke seeing the whole scene play out, and his heart breaking just a bit as they left with his arm around her.
Tumblr media
oh lukey... will be doing a follow up to this (:
please like and reblog if you liked!

Connor and Gavin Besties Dynamic would include
Connor trying to be the one above the call-outs and banter that Gavin throws at him in the workplace, for the sake of professionalism
but the second he's off the clock it is ON
Connor also being petty at work in retaliation
they have the dynamic of that one tiktok where this guy is cooking fried chicken in the bathroom as he's taking a shower so that his friend wouldn't steal it, and then his friend breaks in with a screwdriver and and still steals it.
Gavin would take a picture of Hank's living room and use it as his background during FaceTime calls
"Hey... hey Connor come here, i need to tell you something."
"I don't trust you."
"No seriously, I promise I'm not gonna do anything it's for the case."
"......Fine... what is it?"
*burps in his face*
"....... I swear to-"
Connor gets one of those ice cream quart padlocks and locks Gavin's ice cream at the precinct
Gavin just saws off the bottom of the container and eats it like that out of spite.
* Connor and Gavin at a bar*
Gavin: you better step down, son, taking this whole thing too far. Hold me back, Connor. I'm serious, hold me back, Connor! I'm seRIOUS HOLD ME BAC-......... why aren't you holding me back?
"Excuse me, Gavin but i have those reports for the Carey case right here for you on my desk."
"I ain't falling for my own joke, tin can."
"No, I am serious. And even if i was trying to pull the same joke, i am incapable of eructation."
"Oh... well okay the-"
T̶̝̳̍͛͜H̷̨̻͕̪̣͗Ę̵̬͔̬̹̄͜ ̵͙̫͇̰̺̗̈́̎̍̅̕F̷̧̼̟̪̱͕̑Į̶̟̖̠̮̈́́Ţ̵̲̯̤̪̄̄N̴̳̍Ẹ̷̅̈́̌̉̊̚͜S̸̨̰͔̿̄̀̿͝S̶̲̳̲̑̌̔ ̸̮̓̇G̵̪͖̥̖̯̈͌̐̿Ṝ̷A̴̧̢͂̊̏̾M̵̟̥̹̥̝̖͒ ̴̧̩̯̿̽͑P̶̮̪̿̌̈̽̋̀Á̸͇̭̈́C̸̩̠̀̇͛͠Ẹ̷̪̱͇̼͊R̶̥̦̫͑́̓̅͗̈́ ̶̩͍͍͓̞̔͌̋̎̓̈́T̸̛̬̟͐̀͛̈́̈Ę̴̜̟̜̹̿̿͗S̵̛̩̝̩͗͊͆̄͛ͅͅT̷͚͒ ̴̗͌ͅI̶͖͒̓́̏S̷̤̞̻̟̅̂̄̎ ̴̨̉̾̐̀͛͋Á̸̝̫̋͑͠ ̷̨̘̠̦͕̅M̶̜̬͍̼̗̬͗̏̊̈͝U̸̫̯̩̬͛͝Ĺ̵̜̼̜̦̀̇̆̕͘T̶͔͉͗̈́Ḯ̴͙S̴̯͙̣͓̫̀̈͜Ṯ̷͎̥͓̌͐̎͑Ą̴̳̖̓͆̀̄̀͜G̷̻̯͎͒̑̉̓E̴̗̭̒ ̷̡̺̮͚̞́̽̈́̈́̕A̴̠̝̿͒͂̕ͅĘ̴̠̮͌̐̒R̷̠̼̙̉̒O̸̼͍͗̈́͗̃̃B̵͍͈̪͖͎̔̓̅̇͘͘I̷̝͉̪̍̔C̸̖̘͙̆͗ ̴̣͉̝̳͖͋͜͝Ç̵̨̹͗A̵͉̺̟͇͠ͅP̷̪͕͔̱͙̬̓̄A̶̟͖̯̹͎̒̎C̵͔̮͍͗̂̌͊̿͝Ī̵̤́͊͆̀͊T̷̙͉͖̙͜͝ͅŸ̴̖͈͚̜͓̱́̾ ̷̘͆̂̄͗͝T̶̻̿Ę̷̢̬̔̒S̷͔͙̹̪̉͑̃͌̀Ṭ̵̓̏̅̉-"
Gavin: god I fucking hate that guy, he's such a prick
Coworker: why don't you just stop being friends with him then?
Gavin: FUCK NO! He's already agreed to be my Best Man
*Connor working silently and diligently*
*notices Gavin staring at him from across the bullpen*
"..... what?"
"You're ass is grass and I'm gonna mow it."
"LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Gavin punching in the teeth of xenophobes. Or at the very least cussing them out because no, Gavin, you already have enough write-ups and complaints as it is, you gotta stop it. Yes, i appreciate the intentions, but the means are getting you in trouble.
Old Cop Acquaintance: Last time we hung out you hated androids. You've gotten soft.
Gavin: No, i've gotten hard. Because he's my best friend, he's my pal. My homeboy, my rotten soldier; my sweet cheese, my good time boy
the newer cops in the precinct start spreading a rumor that Gavin and Connor are dating, and when Connor brings it up with Gavin to see if he wants to do anything to dispel the rumors he just says "If you don't have rumors going around that you and your best friend are dating, then you aren't real best friends."
that's basically how Connor realizes that he has a best friend for the first time.
Gavin: Connor, would you ever bail me out of jail?
Connor: Bold of you to assume I'm not in jail with you
Gavin: bro
Connor: Nines would be the one to bail us out of jail.
Gavin: aw fuck, no, come on! Nines would give us the Look of Disappointment
Connor: Better than the Dad of Disapproval
Gavin: fair point
Tactical Training Day is full of chaos because Gavin makes a bet that he'll do better and while Connor doesn't outright agree to it, you can tell he's playing along because he's putting more effort into the simulations than normal.
Gavin: Okay, run it by me one more time. What do you do if i get shot in the field?
Connor: well, I was programmed to immediately get you clear of the line of fire and then provide medical assistance until back-up or an ALS unit arrives.
Gavin: but?
Connor: ...but you've asked me to cry out "MMMMMM WHATCHA SAAYYY!" and then proceed with my protocols.
Gavin: exACTLY

D.A.M.N crew headcannons (complete with some memes bc who doesn't love those)
Freelancer used to work part time at a bookstore. They're a huge fan of romance novels. So is Damien, he'll never admit that though.
Has a stash of academic rivals to lovers under his bed in a box. (YES I STAND BY THE FACT DAMIEN IS ACADEMIC RIVALS TO LOVERS FANBOY)
Tumblr media
Huxley grew up on like farm property and has a pet duck and golden (or some other big ass dog like a great dane or smth)
Lasko uses his air elemental power thingy to blow dry his hair. Once time Co worker walked in and got a face full of water droplets.
De(a)mons don't technically need to walk in the elegy, so they'll just float around. This led to Caelum having this cotton candy looking cloud he just floats around on. It leaves a trail of glitter everywhere it goes.
This leaves like Freelancer sweeping their their floors when Caelum comes around.
Also Caelum can walk, so sometimes he like parks the fucking cloud jumps off it and just stumbles around like a toddler. 
Co worker is fucking amazing at parallel parking. Like sometimes other D.A.M.N teachers see them parking and think "oh shit they're not gonna make it" and THEY DO PERFECTLY EVERY TIME.
Damien played tennis back in high school, It just fits.
Tumblr media
Damien is long sighted but wears contacts cause glasses are "too much of a hassle". Lasko is both short and long sighted has circle lenses and silver frames. Coworker got him those cool looking chains and he loves them so much (its reminds him of his dnd character ^^)
Huxley loves Damien with his glasses on. He really REALLY loves it when Damien's face gets all flushed when he presses a kiss to where Dames frame meets the bridge of his nose.<3
Freelancer, Damien and Lasko are coffee drinkers. Huxley and Co worker are tea drinkers. (Caelum drink hot cocoa or milkshakes, depends on the weather.)
Damien eats chips/popcorn w fucking chopsticks bc he hates the way the dust feels on his fingers.
Lasko stares at him everytime he sees it. like a judging "wtf" kinda stare 
Tumblr media
Gavin is actually ass at video games, but board games? Bro will destroy your ass in a game of fucking operation, embarrass your whole damn bloodline when he play uno, dishonor your damn herritage when he plays monopoly.
Gavin can tie a cherry stem w his tongue. It got tied around his piercing once and Freelancer laughed their ass off at the sight of a cherry hanging by his tongue.
They took a photo and now that photo is Freelancers homescreen.
Gavin sometimes acts like a curious child when it comes to certain things. Like being a de(a)mon he doesn't know certain things abt human technology.
Example. He likes flushing the water in the toilet, he likes the way it swirls. He loves keyboards, he loves the sound they make when you press on the keys.
Damien was a "gifted kid" skipped a grade back in like year 5
Gavin hates when people waste food, He doesn't even need to eat it just irks him.
Tumblr media
Lasko is the person who buys books but never reads them. He has so many stacks of unread books in his apartment
Freelancer had broke their tailbone right after developing their powers.
Caelum was assigned to them bc they were yes a humanborn and yada yada, but it was mainly bc they were miserable because of the pain.
Yes, Freelancer became Caelum's charge bc of a broken tailbone.

Babe-Jeremiah Fisher
Tumblr media
A/n: This song describes him so well. If you don't understand then I'm sorry, I would tell you but I would be spoiling the books. But I'm team Conrad all the way so yes he's my favorite. Jere isn't really my favorite, but I love Gavin. He's so funny. But please enjoy this one!
Song: Babe
Written: Sugarland (feat: Taylor Swift)
-Samantha
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'What a shame, Didn't wanna be the one that got away, yeah, Big mistake, broke the sweetest promise, That you never should have made, I'm here on the kitchen floor, you call, but I won't hear it, You said " No one else" '
Your POV
My head was resting on my arms while watching my phone ring for the tenth time this evening. I didn't have the heart to pick it up just to hear Jere's excuse or apologize. The only thing I had going through my head was the day he told me about him sleeping with someone he knew at his school.
That day is so clear to me and it hurts so much just thinking about it. I really wonder if Conrad or Belly knew about this. Hell or even Steven, Laurel and Susanna. I want to call one of them, but I'm so scared about Jeremiah knowing and trying to get the phone to talk to me.
Jeremiah's POV
I stood outside holding my phone and let out a frustrated groan. I just don't know understand why she won't let me explain myself. I was about to call her again when I heard someone speak.
" I would just give her space, Jere."
I turned to find Belly. " I can't stand her not answering. I really need her to hear her voice." I said
She let out a sigh. " Jere, you know what you di..."
I looked back at her and looked away with guilt. " I know! I don't need everyone reminding me!" I said loudly
Before either of us could say anything Conrad and Steven came running out.
" Guys chill." Steven said
I let out a small scoff and turned the other way. " Bro, we know you're upset even though you basically chose that path for yourself, so don't go yelling at any of us." Conrad said
I could hear all three of their footsteps return back inside. I made myself sit down on one of the lounge chairs while holding my phone in my hand.
Your POV
'What a waste, Takin' down pictures and the plans we made, yeah, And it's strange how your face doesn't look so innocent, Your secret had it's consequence and that's on you, babe'
I made myself move to my bedroom so I could throw all the pictures out. I knew if I didn't it would just haunt me for what he did to me. I couldn't get that night out of my head. The next thing I knew was the tears were running down my face. I couldn't make them stop even if I wanted them too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I felt the sun on the side of my face which told me that I probably cried myself to sleep last night. I heard my phone ding, so I looked at it just to make sure it wasn't Jere, but when I saw Connie texted me I was shocked to say the least.
'Hey, um Jere...may be my idiot brother, but I'm always here if you want to talk. I'm always one call away even though you live like two houses down.'
I let out a breathy laugh and text him back. I then got up to see my room trashed. I decided to take time to get myself together.
'Flashback'
I was sitting on the couch in the Fisher's house waiting for Jere to come, since we had plans today. I was starting to get worried when I heard his laugh come from the front of the door. I walked up there to find him talking to someone.
'Since you admitted it (oh), I keep picturin' (oh), Her lips on your neck (oh), I can't unsee it (oh), I hate that because of you (oh), I can't love you, babe what a shame, didn't want to be the one that get away'
"Jere?" I said
He turned around with a surprised look. " Wh...at are you do...ing here?" he stuttered
I looked at him confused. " Um...we made plans, remember."
He turned back to the girl he was talking to, before turning back to me. " Can we talk in my room?" He whispered
I nodded my head. I heard him telling the girl that they would talk soon. When I made it to his room I couldn't make myself sit, so I decided to just stand in the middle of his room.
" I know what you're thinking, but..." Jere started while walking in
" But what, Jere?" I asked
He just looked down. I could just tell that there was more to the story here. " Jere, please just tell me." I whispered trying not to show any emotion
He looked up through his lashes and said, " Tell you what?"
I looked at him with hope that it's not true, but deep down I knew it already. " The truth." I begged
" I think you already figured that out." he said
I could feel the tears starting to fall. " No, no, no." I whispered more to myself
I let out a choked sob before falling to my knees, I knew I should get up and leave, but all I could feel was numbness. " I'm so sorry." He whispered while pulling me into a hug. I pushed him off me, I looked at him through my blurry vision. " Don't touch me!"
He nodded and moved back. I made myself get up to walk to my house away from him and everyone.
Conrad's POV
I was heading to go to the kitchen to grab a drink, but saw Y/n heading for the door. I thought Jere and her were going out. I walked up closer to her only to realize she was crying. I gently placed my hand on her shoulder. I could feel her tense up which made my heart break a little for her. " Hey, Y/n/n. Tell me what's wrong?" I said concerned
She just shook her head. I pulled her in for a hug which she immediately melted into. " Ask your idiotic brother." She whimpered
She pulled away and gave me a small sad smile before heading out. I ran back upstairs to Jere's room. " What the hell did you do to her?" I said
He looked up. " Nothing."
I gave him a look. " Bull Jere. Tell me what you did."  
He just stared down at his hands. I whispered, " You didn't cheat on her did you." I held my breath praying it wasn't true. When he didn't answer I was shocked. " OMG!" I paused " Jere, come on! You had the best girl you could have asked for." I stated
All I got from him was silent. I shook my head in disappointment and walked out.
'How could you do this babe? You really blew this, babe, We ain't gettin' through this one, babe, How could you do this babe? This is the last time, This is the last time, This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe,'
Your POV
All I could think about was it was my fault. Did I do something to drive him to do this? I cried to my mom all night. I knew she didn't like seeing me like this, and I felt bad for piling all this on her when she already had her problems.
'Flashback Ends'
'How could you do this, babe? I'm here on the kitchen floor, you call, but I won't hear it, You said "No one else," We ain't gettin' through this one, babe, I break down every time you call, but I won't hear it, This is the last time, We're a wreck, you're the wreckin' ball, This is the last time, You said " no one else", This is the last time, I'll ever call you, "babe". '
Once again I'm in my kitchen sitting on the floor this time watching my phone go off with a picture of Jere and I. I know I shouldn't be crying because he doesn't deserve my tears, but I couldn't help it. I want to text him or at least answer just to tell him it's been over since I found out that he cheated on me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I knew I was going to regret the next decision I was going to make, but I had to tell him. I picked my phone up and went to our messages. I hesitated to write, but I knew it would make me somewhat better that he knew.
' Hey Jere, this is hard for me to say, but I know I need to say it. I would love for you to stop calling me for now, maybe just maybe in the near future we can be friends, but that's not an option right now. I just want you to know what you did really broke me and it's hard like really hard for me right now, so this thing with you and I is over and has been over ever since you the day you admitted to cheating. So this is my last good-bye, Jere.'
My thumb was right over the send button. I don't know why it won't push it. It's like my body is numb, or it's telling me not to let go. I know I need to let go and accept that it's happening. I forced my hand to move. Once it was sent I dropped my phone and the tears came down faster.
Jeremiah's POV
I heard my phone ding. I saw that she texted me. I started reading it and broke down. I only kept telling myself how stupid I am and it was making me feel even worse about the whole thing that I did. I just had to accept the fate that this thing with Y/n and I was really over.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Omg! I feel like this one is pretty good. I feel like my writing is getting somewhat better these past years and I'm proud to say this. And I am so thankful for all you for reading and commenting plus voting. It makes me so happy! Again I really hope you enjoy this one!

So I recently found out that the Sims 4 is free for download, and naturally I wanted to check it out because I was never allowed to play as a kid but I am an Adult now so I can do what I want. Then I got the brilliant idea to make as many Detroit: Become Human characters I cared to have and play that way, because I’m too impatient to try to learn how to play before I jump into something. So of course it has been a disaster and a learning curve. Here’s some key bits because. I mean this is too funny. I need to share it:
First off I spent way too much time designing each character because I’m a perfectionist and the Sims customisation interface was difficult for me to get down. But I figured it out and I think I did pretty good. I had to download some hair and outfit mods though.
I started out with three households: the Jericrew, the Kara fam, and the DPD gang (ft. all three Connor bros) but now I have five households: 1. Gavin, Kamski, and Nines, 2. The Jericrew + Chloe, 3. Kara fam, 4. Connor and Sixty, and 5. Hank and Cole.
Chloe joined the Jericrew because she and North started dating. Previously, she lived with Gavin, Kamski, and Nines. And I made Gavin and Kamski brothers ofc, but I also made Chloe their sister just so no funny business happened. Also I found out you can change their romantic/sexual preferences and technically make them aroace if you uncheck everything, so Kamski, Connor, and Kara are all aroace because I headcanon them as such. Also Gavin is trans bc I said so. I also found pride flags which was fun. 
Kara fam is just perfect. They are the absolute best. I’m so glad I started with them but also I think they gave me too high of standards, because everyone else just sucks (affectionate). Everytime I go to the Kara fam household, they are all happy/fine/positive emotion, and they actually take care of themselves. I have full autonomy on, and yet I’ll come back to the Jericrew or DPD gang or whoever and find they haven’t fed themselves and the toilets are broken or something. It’s insane. Nines once started a fucking fire on his own. He’s level 6 in cooking. Connor fucking DIED while I was away but luckily I just reloaded a previous save and got him back but like what the FUCK. I don’t even know what he died from either lmao but he died in his bedroom so I can only imagine. Meanwhile Kara, Luther, and Alice are all perfect angels who could do no wrong and they clean their house and have safe kitchen practices and don’t die. I love them a lot. Alice does so well in school. She has many friends and one enemy, idk wtf went down there but it’s funny to me. Every good girl deserves a nemesis. Luther is a gamer, didn’t expect that to happen but it’s funny. Kara plays pranks on them???? But they laugh so it’s fine. Also Alice isn’t a scared little bitch baby like Cole, who can’t sleep a single night without waking up scared of the monster under the bed. Alice befriended hers. 
So yeah I wasn’t going to initially make Cole, just have Connor Nines and Sixty be Hank’s only sons, but then Hank had the aspiration of wanting to start a family so I just decide to try adopting for him and there was a kid named “Anderson” which was so funny and I had to adopt him. But he’s a very weird kid, he’s like if Connor was an 8 year old. Like, gets good grades but is sad about not making friends, tries and fails to befriend the monster under the bed so he’s scared of it, he eats cereal at 3am, he sings to and talks to his stuffed unicorn. It’s adorable. I had no idea all of this was possible.
Oh yeah um. Another thing I had no idea about? Fucking “woohoo”. I knew what it was but I had no idea it was so graphic???? Like they fucking make noises???? I couldn’t even like look at my computer it’s ridiculous. I have to like leave and control another sim each time. Simon and Markus woohoo’d in North’s bed once (against my will) so I had to get her a new one because that’s fucking gross.
The couples will just randomly walk up to each other and kiss which is adorable but also annoying when like for example, I’m having the Connor bros + Gavin visit Hank and Cole and Gavin and Nines just start kissing in the middle of the living room. But then Cole has an adverse reaction to seeing them kiss and is all like disgusted by it, which is hilarious. The others will clap though??? Lmao
Oh my God Sixty flirted with Gavin once and Nines got pissed. Then CONNOR yelled at Sixty for betraying Nines. This game is the funniest thing in the world. Who came up with this. 
North and Simon are best friends but like they kinda did that on their own. North will just go up to Simon and hug him randomly which is crazy to me bc she’s got the hothead trait and like will randomly yell at Josh or stomp around the house, but she sees Simon and just hugs him. It’s so cute. She flirts with Chloe unprompted too. 
I love Markus to death in dbh. He’s one of my favourite characters. Sims Markus, however, is the Worst. He’s got the Friend of the World aspiration or whatever it’s called so he makes lots of friends, but then he’ll like say something mean and get people mad at him?? And obviously it’s in a sims language so idk wtf he says but for example, I introduced the Jericrew to the Kara fam and he got Luther mad at him. Idek how. And then he will mope around about not being recognised for his paintings but gets mad at me when I make him show off his paintings. Bitch what do you want from me. He took Simon on a date and it went really well, but as soon as it was over he fucked off and like did pushups in the park while Simon just stood there. He once spent $45 all at once by making himself three coffees in a row. What the hell. He also got mad at Simon for God knows what but then North yelled at Markus for it which was so funny. I had Josh ask Markus for encouragement once when he was sad, and Markus walked away. Idk if I’m just this bad at the game or if Sims Markus is bugged but it’s wild. 
Josh adopted a kid when I wasn’t there. I was gone for twenty minutes and Josh adopted a kid and named him Antony. It was hilarious but also annoying bc there was literally no space for this kid so I had to rearrange the entire house, and they definitely couldn’t afford a whole Child but Josh didn’t care apparently. Full autonomy is fun but I didn’t realise they could do crazy things like adopt a child on their own. Poor Antony is also really scared of the monster under the bed but Josh has so far proven himself to be a terrible father in that, everytime his kid wakes him up to spray the monster under the bed, Josh gets up and then goes off and does something else, doesn’t even like check up on Antony it’s so annoying. Antony started waking up North instead, unprompted, and she helps him. 
North made an enemy and, at first I encouraged it and had her fight the guy because it was funny, but now she’ll just be walking down the street and it is on sight with this poor fucker. She sees him across the street, runs over, and starts beating him up. It’s hilarious and I love her so much. 
I gave the Jericrew a pool and had everyone invited over for a neighbourhood pool party to introduce them all to each other and Sixty swam into the road. I know it was a glitch but it was super funny. He just. Kept swimming. Into the road. And then swam back. Like he was in the road.
I gave Sixty the “villainous valentine” trait or whatever it’s called because I don’t ship him with anyone and he’s a drama queen so I thought it would be funny, but then he flirted with Josh and Josh reciprocated. I didn’t even make him do it. I had Sixty flirt with everyone who wasn’t in a relationship and it was Josh who liked it. I saw the little green hearts with the ++ above their heads and I was like. What. the fuck just happened. But anyways now Josh and Sixty like each other and I’m too much of a weak bitch to have Sixty cheat on Josh even though it’s his aspiration because I love Josh so idk what I’m gonna do there. I could change it I guess but also I doubt they’ll last lmao especially since I’m doing nothing to help them. It’s still funny tho. I guess I’ll update if anything changes?? If anyone even cares ab this lmao.
Oh also before that, I had Sixty homewreck the Goth marriage and then break up with Mortimer goth so he could get the two aspiration achievements from it, it was funny. Mortimer was a bitch to Connor too, so worth it. Also this family is definitely a Walmart brand Addams family lmao. Except the husband is nowhere near as devoted and loving of his wife obviously. 
Luther is a really high level in the comedy skill and I didn’t do that myself so I guess he’s just naturally hilarious. He’ll be watching tv with Alice and I’ll see him say something and they both laugh, or he’ll joke with Kara while they cook dinner together and they both laugh and it is adorable. Then Alice will come home from school and go see Luther to tell him about her day and he listens and talks back he’s just the sweetest ever.
Simon and Markus’s wedding. Dear lord. I could make a whole separate post about it. It was pure chaos. Let me reiterate that I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing in this game. I’ve never played before and didn’t even know you could hold weddings without the special pack or whatever. Anyways, I had to redo their wedding three times. Three times. So their wedding happened four times because I don’t McFreaking understand this game’s antics.
The first time, I just was floundering and didn’t know how to do anything it was asking me to do. I invited all the other dbh characters but when we showed up at the park, which is where I held the wedding, everyone just wandered off and I had no idea how to get them to watch or anything. I wasn’t prepared with any resources either. It was a mess. Technically I succeeded in the event because I did get them married, but nothing else happened. So I reloaded the save and tried again. 
The second time, I did it a little better, and I had actual tables and chairs and cookware prepared to make food/the cake/etc. I had a whole setup in Magnolia Park that actually looked pretty good. Plus it’s free if you build in the park which is double cool. But anyways I got about halfway through the event when I had Simon and Markus sit at the table with their guests to eat and socialise, and Elijah fucking Kamski flirted with Markus in front of Simon. Markus made a disgusted face and like waved him off, clearly not reciprocating the flirting, but for some reason the game still counted that as “cheating” even though Markus didn’t do anything??? Idk why tf that is but it’s dumb. Anyways, Simon is heartbroken because Markus “cheated” thanks to Kamski being a twat, and I didn’t think much of it til the event ended and I got everyone home and I realised that Markus and Simon’s romance bar had almost completely reset. Like it had the tiniest sliver of pink left. And their friendship bar was halved. Like Kamski fucking bulldozed their relationship when they were just married. And I spent a good hour working frantically to repair their relationship but it wasn’t going well and it was just even more of a mess, and NORTH decided she hated Markus now because he hurt Simon, it was just the worst. So I cheated a little again and went back to my save just before the wedding and started it over again.
The third time went the same as the second, except this time Luther flirted with Markus in front of Simon, and Markus fucking flirted back. I meant it when I said Sims Markus is the worst. He and Luther were good friends before the wedding bc I play with the Kara fam and Jericrew the most bc they’re my favourites, so that makes more sense than Kamski, but still!!! Markus sucks in the sims. Anyways, as soon as I saw that happen I learned my lesson and immediately restarted again.
The fourth and final time, I took away their autonomy. That fixed every problem. The wedding went smoothly, no one fucking flirted with Markus and ruined everything, and poor beloved Simon was so happy. Then when I sent everyone home I gave their autonomy back. Now, when it comes to certain other characters, I definitely wouldn’t have cared this much, but neither Markus nor Simon would ever be the type to cheat, so I don’t at all feel bad about going back and restarting each time, because that’s not who they are. And I’m lowkey pissed that other characters I’m not even controlling are able to flirt with characters I am controlling that are in relationships. Like dear lord, Luther would never. Kamski might. But Luther absolutely would not ever. It’s so crazy.
So anyways, I finally fucking got them married, everyone’s happy, I’m happy. 
Connor is so sweet with Cole. It’s so cute. He reads to Cole and sprays the monster under the bed when Hank isn’t available to and he tag-teams with Cole to prank Gavin and it’s adorable. Oh also I gave Connor the mischief trait or whatever it is because he’s canonically a little shit and it’s funny. And his number one victim is definitely Gavin, close second is Sixty. He pranked Hank a few times but Hank didn’t like it so he stopped. He’s never pranked Nines though idk why. He’ll also just clean things and fix things without me telling him to. He’s a gamer too.
Nines decided he loved fitness on his own. He just does push ups in the kitchen. I’ll be playing as another household and see him jogging down the street. It’s kinda funny. 
I was gonna have Nines propose to Gavin bc I think that’s how it would happen, but Gavin actually beat me to it. 
North and Chloe are so fucking cute. North will just walk up to her and kiss her cheek or flirt with her and Chloe gets all blushy it’s adorable. North handed her a rose once on her own. 
Dude some of these guys are idiots. Someone will be in the bathroom and they’ll just walk in and then be all like “I can’t unsee that!!” like bitch have you heard of knocking. Wtf. but apparently couples can use the bathroom or shower in front of each other no problem so at least I don’t have to worry about that.
I gave each of the Jericrew fireplaces in their rooms. Big mistake. Within five minutes, Simon and Josh caught themselves on fire. I took the fireplaces away immediately. 
I gave North some knight armour stands in her room bc they’re cool as fuck and I think she’d like them, and she’ll just stare at the armour sometimes it’s funny. 
I found out you can have male characters wear dresses if you remove the dumb “masculine” tag on their outfit choices and I spent at least ten minutes freaking out and salivating over Markus in a dress. GOD he looks so fine. Fuck. I gave Simon and Sixty dress options too bc I think they’d rock it and I’m right. Tempted to give everyone dress options actually. North wears a tux though, and her swimsuit is a one piece because I refuse to believe she’d ever wear anything that even slightly resembles the Eden Club “outfit”. She’s hot as fuck in a tux which is obvious.
I think that’s it but I’ll add on if anything else crazy happens. <3

Can Gavin be more perfect, and clueless?
So Gavin goes away to learn how to dress like a human, from a trio who should in all seriousness be a last resort. Where's Jessie in this? She would have been excellent for this job! Her and Dominique would have had a field day with this clueless man!
I digress.
Since we've sort of slipped away from feelings a bit, you know what Carter and his brothers do while Gavin is being brutally tormented and taught terrible habits? Have feelings. Which unfortunately meant I too got to have feelings. Aren't feelings fun?
The long and short of Feelings Time is that all three of them have grown to very heavily develop complicated opinions of their father. Joe's feelings are, well, to be expected, but I'm glad he got to express how much he feels like a third wheel to the Tether Bros. Carter got to apologize for his guilt at being responsible for Richard taking Joe in the first place. Kelly got to... be there while the other two worked out some stuff they needed to work out.
Seriously, I don't think Kelly actually gets as much out of this moment as the other two.
Then things get weird. Like, can someone with a digital version do a little Ctrl+F for me the number of times the word "penis" is used in this book? Is it "Drinking Game" numbers? It feels like "Drinking Game" numbers. This entire conversation was weird. I cannot imagine having a conversation like this with either of my sisters. These boys have no boundaries.
There's a wonderful moment in Deathly Hallows-Part One that's not in the book, and exists exclusively as a deleted scene between Petunia and Harry that makes no damn sense with her characterization that I actually like a lot where she reminds him that he didn't just lose a mother that night in Godric's Hollow, she lost a sister. Carter has a roles-reversed version of this moment with Mark that I found very sweet, and honestly, necessary. After all, they spend so much time about Thomas being their father, or Elizabeth's mate, but no one really bothers to have the decency to remember he was Mark's brother before any of that. I apologize for referencing Harry Potter as a jumping-off analog for this point; likely won't happen again.
And Gavin's back!, before we all get too feelings-y.
I now have a very specific mental image of this man that I'm very glad I have no artistic talent to speak of because I would be forced to draw this mental image for you guys and I would prefer to take this mental image with me to my grave. Can I just Inkheart myself into this book, you know, for a bit? No reason. No reason at all...

Title: Who really lives their dream?
Summary: Vince as a pharma tech, alternate reality!
A/n: This is a fluffy wuffy story.
Part Eight
It has been 5 weeks since Lula last saw Vince at the operations apartment and it was her best decision ever. Mind made up and her completion of one year plus at Neales Pharmacy, she informs Baptiste that she will be going to Haiti to visit family.
“Are you resigning?” Baptistse asks in shock.
“Not at all. But I overheard the others mention that Susan is looking to get back to work.”
“Don’t worry about Susan, we prefer you.”
Lula giggles.
“I am sure you don’t mean that Baptiste” She smiles “But home is calling and I need to answer before it stops.”
“Okay, okay I hear you. Stay safe out there. You’re welcome back whenever Lula”.
She smiles, waving at Baptiste. The team throw her a mini party and gift her trinkets, a bottle of champagne and a ‘best pharmacist mug’. She hugs them all, including the nosy stout man.
“I think I will miss you the most Gavin” He blushes bright red and smiles back longingly. Wait…No damn way, she thinks to herself, All this time he had a crush?!
——
Lula prepares for her trip to Haiti, making sure everything is in order; rent paid, bills paid for the next two years and perishable foods donated. She books a business class ticket before heading to see Aunty Anita. Even though Vince and her hadn’t spoken in a while, Anita still keeps in touch. She calls Lula to collect some items to drop off with relatives once she reaches Port-au-prince.
As Lula drives up Anita’s driveway, she sees Vince’s car across the street. “Really universe?” She mutters to herself. Or maybe Aunty is tryna play, she thinks, Either way we can’t avoid each other.
She steps out her car, brushes down her sundress, walking to the front door and knocks.
Vince opens the door.
“…”
“…”
“Who is it Vince?” Anita shouts from the living room. I know she’s acting right now, Lula says to herself. Vince doesn’t respond back.
“Lula… come in” He said, stepping aside.
“Thank you, Vince. Hey Aunty” Lula calls excitedly as she walks towards the living room.
“You really know your way around here huh?” Vince mutters loud enough for them all to hear. Lula laughs and rolls her eyes, focusing on the instruction from Anita.
“So the blue goes to Jerome. Don’t give it to his wife or she will give it to her brother. The light blue goes to Gregory and his wife. The purples goes to-”
“Ma why are you giving Lula a bunch of things for people in Haiti?”
“Boy don’t interrupt my process” Anita continues, telling Lula who should get what and where to drop it off. “FYI Son, she is visiting Haiti this weekend.”
Vince looks at Lula and she looks back at him.
“Well this is awkward” Anita mutters leaving the room.
“I would have told yo-”
“Do you need a ride to the airport?” Vince asks.
“Yes, please” She replies.
“Alright. Call me the morning of your flight.”
“Okay, I will. I would have told you sooner but I thought you were upset that I left.”
“I was. Obviously. But that was for 2 days. We’re cool boubout.”
Lula smiles, “I need to finish packing. I’ll call you over the weekend.”
——
As agreed, Vince picks Lula from her house and drops her off at the airport.
“Are you coming back to Cali?” He asks, almost predicting her answer.
“Maybe” she says. Giving him a gentle smile “For real bro, don’t be a stranger.” They laugh, she goes to check-in, waves goodbye to Vince and waits at her gate.
“Going to Haiti too?” Lula looks to her left, to find a tall dark man with a fade smiling at her. She nods smiling back but doesn’t respond.
As she boards the flight and settles in her seat, she sees the same man from earlier.
“I guess we are buddies for the next 10 hours” he says settling across the aisle from her.
“I guess we are” She giggles back.
“Is that man you were with at check-in your partner?”
“Nope, a work colleague.” She laughs “Nosy.”
“Hey, I’m Pierre” he chuckles charmingly.
“I’m Tallulah. Lula for short”
“Nice to meet you, Lula” Pierre grins before settling back to his seat.
——
Halfway through the flight, Pierre makes small talk with Lula. She entertains him, impressed with his craft. He’s also a native of Haiti, just visiting Cali for business and vacation.
“I’d love to show you around and get you settled in, if that’s okay with you?” Pierre insists.
Lula beams at him “Really?!”
“Yes Lula, your love for Haiti has me feeling all sorts and I want to be here to support you.” Damn, this man is laying it on thickkk, she says to herself. “If you say so… but don’t be making empty promises!”
“To you Lula, never.” She smiles looking away.
“Once we land, I’ll get you a SIM card, a second phone and you can use my chauffeur while you’re out and about. How’s that?” Lula stares blankly at him.
“Earth to Lula?”
“Lula is experiencing some technical difficulties, please try again after Lula naps” she replies nerd-like. Pierre belly laughs and nods.
Pierre keeps his promise and Lula is settled within 10 days of arrival. She calls Anita and Vince to check in, drop off the gifts to their relatives and tours Haiti with Pierre.
“It feels amazing to be home” Lula says gently.
“Your presence makes me feel amazing Lula.” Pierre replies passionately. She giggles as they head to the next store to buy furniture for her new apartment.

*Summary: Gavin plays a trick on Ray one night after drinks. Ray gets a little bit more than he bargained for.
*Content/Tags: Fluff and Smut, Smut, Fluff, Fluff and Humor, Shameless Smut, Sex, PWP, TW: Vomit
*Rating: E for Mature Explicit Content
*Status: Oneshot Drabble/Complete
Author's Note: Never did I think I would be writing for such a small fandom but that's okay! I've got no justification for why I thought Angus Sampson in this movie was hot and needed to write this fic about him. But this is for all (2) other people out there that saw the Mule and were like "oh what a tall and pathetic looking man, I need to sleep with him". Enjoy!
“Come on. Let’s get you to a hotel, mate.” Gavin laughed. He’d never seen Ray so shitfaced in his fucking life. Normally the guy could hold his weight in beers, like it was drinking water but Gavin may have slipped some vodka and a strong Korean liquor in between cans of the cheapest stuff money could buy. He guided his friend into a cab and told the driver just to get them to a place before Ray threw up in the back. The driver seemed pissed by the request, but hurried them to a decent enough place nearby. Gavin shoved Ray out of the cab and into the lobby, wrestling some money out from Ray’s pocket. He made a gesture that equated to ‘Get a load of this bloke’ as Ray hunched over against a wall on the other side of the lobby. There’s no way that the front desk clerk could read this as a hook-up. Just a bro looking out for his mate, right? Ray stifled some vomiting noises behind him before swooped under Ray’s arms and guided him to the room that he had paid for. They barely crossed the threshold of the room when Ray ran as best he could in his inebriated state over to the toilet. He wretched and Gavin stood silently in the entryway. He wasn’t sure if he should ask if Ray was going to be okay, or say something biting about the fact that his friend hasn’t thrown up like this since they were barely teens sneaking a beer from Ray’s stepfather’s stash. When the gagging noises had stopped he stood in the doorway of the bathroom and asked,
“You gonna be alright there?”
“Never better.” Ray responded dryly, wiping the remnants off the side of his mouth. He took the cleaner looking rag and wet it under the sink before cleaning his face off. He looked in the mirror at his sunken in eyes as Gavin slapped his back, bringing up a whole new wave of nausea. He glared at the other man before saying, “I’m never going to another one of your fucking parties, mate.”
“C’mon you’ll be at my next one.” Gavin nudged him again. He shoved back against his friends touch, pushing him out the door, “Right. Get some sleep and in the morning you can get back round to your mum’s house.”
“See you later.” Ray closed the door behind Gavin’s back and flopped onto the bed. His head was swimming still as he laid there, shutting his eyes tight so as to try and focus on something that wasn’t his current state. He took one more deep breath before he was knocked out without his realizing. He jolted up from the bed when he heard the sound of knocking on his door.
“Hello?” The voice asked. It was soft, but it definitely could still be Gavin playing a prank on him.
“Gav, go away.”
“Room service.” The voice called back
“Gav, I’m really not in the fucking mood.” He strode across the room, nearly ripping the door off its hinges as he was about to tear into his fuckhead of a friend for interrupting him while he slept. Only to see a woman standing before him. “Oh. Sorry. Thought you were someone else.”
“You’re Ray?” She asked him, her hand hovering over the center of his chest while she waited for a response. He raised an eyebrow before nodding his head slowly. He was pushed back into his room by her fingertips and shoved onto his bed. She worked her jacket off over her shoulder and let the fabric fall onto the floor. He looked at her absolutely dumbfounded before asking,
“What are you here for?”
“Your friend ordered me. Said you could use a good time.”
Ray just blinked a couple of times before breaking into an apology, “Miss, I’m sorry. Really I am but I’m trying to get over this hangover and my piece of shit friend did this as a prank probably…”
“Then let’s try and enjoy this in spite of him.” She leaned into his personal space before pressing her lips onto his. His lips were still for a moment, thankful he had taken the time to clean his face before passing out. With a slight hesitation he put a hand on her neck and started mashing their lips together. She pulled away from him and ran her thumb over his lips, “No offense, but your friend was right saying you weren’t well practiced.” She smiled, “Almost like I’m taking your virginity.” He kept his mouth shut. He wouldn’t confirm or deny it, or at least he thought he couldn’t. Rather he would change the topic,
“You’ve got a lovely accent.” He looked up at her as her fingers kept toying with the edge of his mouth
“Thank you.” She laughed in earnest, “You might be my easiest lay, but you’re pretty damn sweet.”
“Thank you, I think.” He replied. She eased her hands onto his shoulders and guided him down onto his back, his legs propped up over the side of the bed. She rested on top of his center and pushed herself down into him for some friction. His hands darted to her hips, resting on her soft curves. He bit down on his lip and a finger trailed under his chin, forcing his gaze back up to her. She took his hands and moved them up her back and let his hand hover over the clasps to her bra. He took her cue and unhooked the garment slowly. He slipped a finger underneath the strap and helped to ease it off her body. His hands moved to her front, cupping her breasts between his hands. She leaned in closer to him as she kissed him. It felt chaste. Her hand rested on his chest as she tilted her head the other way. Her hand shifted to the back of his neck. She forced him back down onto his back as they were linked by their lips.
“We can do more than just make-out, you know” she grinned at him
“Yeah. Yeah let’s do that” he nodded, pulling away from her again to lift his shirt off over his head and throwing it to the floor. He brought his fingers down quickly to his belt, fumbling to get the buckle undone. She pressed a kiss onto his cheek and delicately swatted his hands away before unlocking it and pulling it off his body in one long movement. If he weren’t using his hands to keep himself upright enough to look at her, he’d almost clap. He shook that thought immediately out of his head as he dove right in for another kiss from her. She slid his pants and underwear down to his ankles and shimmied down his body. She laid one hand down next to Ray’s outside thigh and used her dominate hand to wrap around his semi-erect dick. After a couple of quick pumps and some kisses as Ray tried to avoid making direct eye contact with the woman servicing him, she got up from the bed. Ray let out a whine that he tried desperately to suck back in as she smirked and reached into her purse. She pulled a tube out and brought it back over to Ray. He made a low whimper as strands from her hair brushed across his bare shoulder. She covered him in the lube and a condom before thrusting herself onto him. His hand darted up across her back as she took him deeper into herself. She thrusted hard into his lap, wrapping her arms loosely around his neck. He moaned as he pushed her further down onto him. His grasp was firm on her ass as she slowly started to move. He wanted to please her. He wanted her to cum because of him… he might not be her best lay but he wanted her to be happy. He carefully pushed her down so that she would stop bouncing on him and she gave him a look. Rather than answer with words, he shoved his head in between her breasts. His lips moved across the fat before he latched onto her tit. His tongue lapped at the sensitive skin and she let out a moan from deep within her chest.
“So good…” She whispered. She continued to ride him, speeding up as she felt Ray’s hands squirm across her back. She bit down on his lip ever so slightly while kissing him until he came into the condom. While she rode him until he was spent, her hand slid across his chest. He looked at her with big eyes after she had gotten off his lap and curled up next to him. She held onto his arm for a moment and returned his gaze. He cautiously pressed his lips onto the crown of her head and snaked his fingers through hers, connecting them. “Not too bad…” She started, about to tell him that he could use some more practice but decided against it at the last second.
“I thought it was nice.” Ray shrugged, “You looked lovely.”
“Thank you.” She rolled onto her side and looked at the clock. She let out a sigh and slowly got up from the bed. Ray instinctively reached out to her and held her down. She leaned back into him and gave him a kiss on the lips,
“I have to go, I’m sorry.”
“I know…” He let go of her before she leaned in once more. He pursed his lips expecting another kiss before she said
“Y’know I wouldn’t mind seeing you again… outside of work.”
“Like a date?”
“Yeah. Like a date.” Her whole body’s expression softened. Like she was a woman in that moment and not a worker that Gavin had payed for. “Do you have a pager?”
“No… but I could give you my number.” He got up from the bed and grabbed a piece of toilet paper. He ran back and shoved himself back into his pants before rummaging through the hotel room to find something to write down his number. He found a pen in the bedside counter and scribbled furiously. When he tore through the paper he looked for a more solid piece. He ripped a corner off a page from the hotel directory and handed it to her. She pulled out her wallet and carefully tucked it into a side pocket. “Thank you, y’know. For not throwing it away immediately.”
She frowned a little bit as he said that. “I’d never… could I call you tomorrow?”
“Yeah. You could do that.”
“Alright. I’ll talk to you then.” She smiled and slipped out of the hotel room. After getting his shirt back on he walked out of the hotel room himself and tried to orient where he was. He stepped outside the hotel and looked around, figuring out he was on the way other side of town from his mother’s house. After scrounging up enough money from his pockets he got in a taxi and went back to his home.
“There you are, Ray. Where the hell have you been all night?” His mom asked him out of concern. He brushed it off with a couple of non-committal responses before rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and saying that he had to go to bed after the night he had out with Gavin. “Always in trouble that one. His mum would be rolling over in her grave if she could see him.”
“Yeah. Good night, Mum.” Gavin replied and walked off to his room. No sooner was he asleep before he heard the sound of the phone ringing coming from the kitchen.
“Well I don’t know if he’s available right now, love…” He heard his mother’s muffled voice on the other side of his door. He quickly swung the door open and walked quickly to the kitchen, stealing the phone from his mother’s hand. He cleared his throat before talking into the receiver
“Hello?”
“Hi, this is Ray?” The familiar voice asked. It sounded fraught with anticipation as she waited to make sure she’d gotten the right number
“Yeah this is.” He smiled into the phone
“Told you I’d call tomorrow.” She laughed quietly, “Anyway, I was calling to see if you’d still like to go on that date… now that you’re probably sober.” Her voice trailed. He didn’t need her to finish whatever it was she was going to say
“Yeah. Yeah I’d like that. I’m pretty free most nights.”
“I’m free on Thursday, if that’s alright with you?”
“I have a football…” He started, “But actually, yeah. I’ll be free.”
“Okay. I’ll see you then.” He could feel the warmth of her smile on the other end
“See you.” He held onto the plastic object in his hand before putting it back onto the wall
“Who was that?” His mother asked
“Wrong number.” He replied. It wasn’t a very convincing lie
“Awfully long for a wrong number.” She replied back. She wasn’t fooled. He shrugged it off and sat at the couch in front of the family TV. He grinned as he thought about taking her out for the night. For once, he’d have something to thank Gavin for the next time they saw each other.

Business of Love - Meeting the Bros
Lilith (They/Them) x Gavin (He/They) ft. Malik (He/Him) (from @campwillowpeakvn)
This is probably gonna be a long series of these two bc I love them /w\ yes the title is a pun on a pack of ferrets :3
Content Warnings: Uhhh none yet? Just cute!
Word Count: 1,682
Gavin and Lily sat in Malik’s vehicle as they headed to the campus. It had been a while since the succubus had been around so many other people their age. They found themself fidgeting a bit in the seat for a while before Gavin’s hand slipped into theirs. He didn’t need to say anything but he just understood them. His lover was an anxious one even if they didn’t show it outwardly.
“Soo… Shortstack, any reason you didn’t want to tell the guys until you could show up in person together?” Malik asked, turning his head a bit to glance back at them.
“Oh uh… For an extra surprise I guess? Hot goth partner on Gavin’s arm might be easier to believe when I’m right there. Also I sorta want to see everyone’s faces? I think it’d be hilarious.” They replied, scratching their cheek a bit in embarassment.
“What, you want to knock their socks off and let Gavin show off a bit?” he chuckled, realizing Lily was being a little bit silly.
“S-Sort of… If everyone does have such like… low expectations of him and stuff I want them to understand he can do well, he’s just gotta find the right person.” Their cheeks grow a soft pink as they speak, their hand squeezing Gavin’s softly. Oh man do they love them.
The blue-haired goofball blinked at Lily for a few moments before his cheeks became beet red. It still almost didn’t feel real some days, being able to say he has a partner. Someone who returns his flirting and wants to give him the affection he’s been starved of. They still remember the first time their lips met. It was by a campfire after everyone else had already headed to bed for the night.
Both of them had been joking around and flirting for most of the night when Gavin mentioned something about still not having his first kiss. It was then that Lily looked at them, their pretty green eyes shimmering in the firelight as they smiled.
He could still feel the way they gently cupped his cheeks, tugging him down to their level before softly pressing their lips to his. Gavin still remembered the way their lids fluttered shut, the way their face grew pink. The goofball didn’t close their eyes, their wide brown eyes just staring at their lovers face for the first kiss he had ever received.
When the succubus finally pulled away and saw his awestruck face they covered their mouth with a hand to stifle their giggles.
"Hyeon... Love... You're so cute." They managed to say between giggles. He blinked at them before his face softened, an almost pleading look in his eyes.
"C-Can we do that again?"
A grin tugged at Lilith's lips as they stepped closer, leaning their body against his. Gavin's cheeks were red as his breath hitched, kissing them felt better than he ever expected. When they finally indulged him in his plea, he almost melted into them.
Their knees felt weak, not knowing if their lover was intentionally draining their energy or if it was an instinctual thing. But honestly he didn't care, feeling their kiss felt incredible.
Gavin found himself tentatively placing his hands on Lilith's hips. Was this okay? Is it alright to do this? What comes next? Is it good? Bad? Is Lily enjoying this?
They stood for a few moments longer, the two lovers kissing under the starlight and beside the heat of the campfire. There was a crunch from the trees, that startled them into breaking the kiss.
There was a moment as Gavin's face grew red in the car that made Lily tilt their head. What was he thinking of just now? Silly goose. They gently tapped his nose with their index finger and smiled at him.
"Earth to Hyeon, is my lover still there?" They grinned as he finally snapped back to reality, looking into their green eyes. A goofy smile spread across their face as they grabbed Lily's wrist, pulling their palm to his lips.
"I'll always be here for you baby~" He murmured as he kissed their hand. It earned a bright giggle from Lily whose cheeks flushed a bright pink. All their dumb flirts always managed to land perfectly with his lover. Forever the ego boost.
"You're so sweet love!~" They cooed, pulling him close and peppering kisses across his cheeks. Malik scrunched his nose as he glanced into the rear view mirror. Those two were a really cute albeit extremely dorky couple.
"Groooooooooossssssss. Keep it PG while I'm driving there is no partition please here." He shot back at a giggling Lily and a bright red Gavin. The blue-haired half of the couple couldn't help but melt in their lovers hands. If they were in a cartoon, little hearts would be floating around his head as he wrapped his arms loosely around Lilith's waist.
"I know I know~ I just can't help it they're so cuuuuuteeee~" The succubus cooed again, biting their lip as they rested their cheek on Gavin's shoulder. The succubus felt extremely secure in the relationship, knowing that Gavin had fallen for them and not their species. It felt... Comfortable.
"Maaaaaaannn why you gotta block me from getting attention? I wanna be spoiled..." He whined softly, earning a giggle from Lily who pressed a few kisses to their jaw. It seemed to appease them for a little bit as his arms tugged them closer.
"You two aren't allowed in my car until I install a divider anymore. Ya nasties." He grinned, slowing down to pull into the parking lot of the cafe. The group had agreed to meet there since it was around noon when they agreed to meet up. A lot of the guys were getting out of class or just were hungry.
"Fine fiiiiiinnneee, I'll be good." The succubus replied, lacing their fingers with Gavin's. As the car shifted into park, Malik saw that the guys were already inside ordering food.
"Man they're starting without us!" Malik huffs, turning to look at the two in the back. "Okay shortstack, how do you want to do this?"
The raven-haired enby thought for a few moments before explaining how they wanted to be introduced. Gavin felt a little nervous and excited at the prospect of finally introducing a partner to his friends.
The three got out of the vehicle and headed inside, Lily tagging a little bit behind Gavin.
"Hey! You guys are early."
"Yeaaaahhh when you said there was a big announcement we figured we'd want to be here. Seems important."
"Well it is kind of a huge milestone for cringe-fest." Malik chuckled, earning a few laughs from the other guys.
"What did they convince someone to hold their hand?" One of the dudes retorted, earning a few more chuckles as Gavin just sat grinning. Even if his cheeks were growing a little pink.
"No no, way bigger than that." He paused for dramatic effect and then proudly put his hands on his hips, "I'm dating someone... And you all lost the bet!"
The group blinked for a second before Lily stepped out from behind Gavin and waved, sliding their hand back into his and leaning against him.
"Hi... You can call me Lily, I use they/them pronouns before you say anything." They said, feeling all the eyes land on them and their cheeks turn a soft pink. Gavin slipped their arm around Lilith's waist and rubbed their hip with his thumb.
All the dudes were staring hard before they all looked at each other, then began laughing.
"No way dude, you paid them. How much did he bribe you???"
"Gavin that's a GREAT prank but we know you, you've never pulled before let alone gotten close to winning that bet."
"Poor dude... You really had me going there for a second."
Gavin looked smug for a moment before he could feel his face getting redder. It was sort of embarrassing but he knew it was all light-hearted. Although, before he could say anything in retort, Lilith did.
"Mmmmm I love the enthusiasm but do you really think that lowly of Hyeon?" They ask, tilting their head a bit with a soft smile. "I personally think the only way he bribed me was with the cute way they flirted. I even got free snacks. If that counts as a bribe."
They watched Lily for a few seconds before squinting.
"You paid a lot of money for this good of acting didn't you, Gavin?" One of them said with a chuckle.
"Mmmmm not acting, I do really like him. We met at the camp, Gavin shot his shot... It landed well with me... Here we are!" They beamed, earning a few more confused looks before Malik piped up.
"Yeah no I'm being serious those two are actually dating. It's not a joke." Once he said that, the guys looked almost as though they had loading symbols above their heads.
...
"OH SHIT!" They all said in unison, jumping up with bright smiles on their faces.
"For real?!"
"For real for real." Gavin said, a wide smile plastered on his cheeks. Suddenly the two were swarmed by their friends, the guys flooding Lily and Gavin with questions. Gavin's back hurt from all the patting and praise he ended up getting.
"Never thought I'd see the day!!! Our baby boy has finally grown up!"
"And with a damn bombshell too, good catch Gav!"
"Right? Like woah, maybe I need to borrow some of those pick up lines!"
"Haha, hell yeah. I'll tell you guys my favorite go-to lines." His smile was bright as ever as he kept Lily snugly against his side. "Told you it'd work eventually!"
"I'm so proud of them." Malik grinned, wiping a fake tear from his eye. "So proud."
"Oh, don't forget... Y'all lost the betting pool to Hyeon." Lily grinned, earning a slow blink from the guys before they all groaned and laughed, some slamming their hands and heads on nearby tables. Others falling to their knees dramatically.
"DAMNIT!"
"Yeaaaahhh... We lost."

The Grom King Will Rise(i couldn’t think of a title)
 He grabbed the sword off the stand as the crowd cheered around him. All he had to do was fight a demon that feeds off fear. No problem. He would be just fine right? Well he would know soon. Matt didn't want to be Grom king but what would he do? The only one who offered to take it was Gus and Matt didn't want him hurt. He needed to do this. He would do this.
"Wow Matty~ I can see you shaking from here," a voice came from behind him. The voice was familiar and sent a shiver down his spine.
"Bria," he leveled the sword which was definitely meant for someone bigger. He could barely keep it steady. When Bria lunged he side stepped and slashed through her easily. One down just a few more to go
"And he has contoured the fist fear of the night," Gus smiled and he talked into the microphone
"With how easy that was, can we even call it a fear, Gus?" Matt's shoulders relaxed as he leaned back enough to look confident. He was a really good actor when it came to things like this.
He only dropped his smile when Grom's form changed into his older brother. He didn't fear Steve, not in the slightest, but when grom opened its mouth the echo voice revealed the true fear he kept hidden.
"That was nothing. You're just as weak as always. How did I get such a failure for a little brother?"
"Shut up."
"You can't even face me. What's wrong little bro? Not brave enough. Maybe I should have tried to get you re-enrolled at Glandas like dad wanted. You would be stronger then."
"Sh-shut up."
"Aw shutting like the baby you are."
"I said SHUT UP!" Matt screamed, his eyes closing as he gripped the sword. His arms shook with the effort not to drop it.
"Poor baby bro. Still so innocent I bet you don't even know how to swing that sword of yours hu? How is a worthless little weakling"
"Shut up shut up shut up! You aren't Steve. You're just a copy of him to hurt me."
"Are you telling me or yourself little bro~?" The copy of Steve walked closer just within Matt's reach. Matt slammed his eyes shut and swung blind, hitting him in the side. When he opened his eyes grom had disappeared a second time.
"And our courageous champion has conquered grom's second challenge!" Gus yelled out to the crowd. Had he been talking this whole time? He had to of been. He always did.
"Wow Gus I didn't even relize you were talking!" Matt laughed even if it was forced it made him feel a little better to do it.
Gus return led his laugh happily. As much as Matt would of loved to focus on the conversation the shadows behind him demanded more attention. He knew the shapes easily. The three people who he hated more than anything in the world. The three people who made his life terrible every day at glandas. Gavin, Amar, and Bria, his three old friends who had torn his life to shreds.
"Well well well looks like the trailer is haveing a good time," if it had been Gavin 9r bria the voice wouldn't of hurt so much. But he was closer to amar he actually had an ally in amar in most things.
"Of course he os he doesn't have to put up with glandas anymore the lucky jerk," Matt froze they thought he was lucky.
"What are you talking about you three got me kicked out of glandas and now your calling me lucky?" Matt stared at the tree of them wide eyed.
"Oh boo hoo we helped you leave glandas and you blame us. We were helping you escape and you just turn around and forget us?"
"You ruined my life every chance you got you did everything to Saratoga me you manipulated me into being a stooge for you guys and you think you were helping me?"
"We didn't do any of that you are the one who helped us every chance-"
"You stayed up all night on your own sabatogeing yourself-"
"You chose all of this we didn't do anything," Brian voice vent from harsh to soft before all thelree voices joined together, if Matt had been looking he would of seen grom combine again into one lump with three bodies coming off of it,"you made us into monsters and left us to rot. How could you Matt?"
When Matt did look up he regretted it. Most of the time grom chose to stay with psychological horror but this was something else. Eacj of their faces was twisted and just off enough to set Matt on edge. Like some one had taken a picture and edited it hopeing no one would notice. Just looking at it made Matt's skin itch in disgust as his hands and feet started to glow. Jumped back as spikes shot up into grom impairing it from all sides.
Gus is talking again but Matt doesn't quite hear what he says. He's too caught up in the idea that all he has to do is deliver the final blow to Grom. One more hit and it's all over he wins all on his own. He raised the sword above his head and swung it down. He should have kept his eyes closed but he opened them. If he had waited another second he wouldn't have stopped but now he couldn’t move. Grom had changed into Gus. But not the normal Gus. Not the happy boy who made him smile ever so softly.
The replica was crying and looked terrible. Matt stepped back not wanting to scare his friend, his brain yelling that Gus was behind him and not to be tricked so easily. The sword fell from his hand. He barely noticed Grom send it flying across the floor.
He almost didn't hear it, the small voice creeping up from the dark so soft and sweet.. a voice he had come to love though he refused to admit it,"Matty...how-how could you. You were supposed to care for me I-I thought we were friends...." 
A sob escaped the replicas' throat and Matt froze. Gus' big brown eyes shone up at him. Matt always gave in when Gus gave him that face he just had to remember that this wasn't Gus.He should attack but then he would have to.make himself hurt Gus even a replica of him was too difficult to hurt, but if he ran away he would be seen as weaker than before
"I thought you changed Mattholomule but you are nothing more than an inconsiderate jerk. I was wrong about you," tears flowed down the replica's face. Matt could have picked out all the flaws in the design. His eyes were too big and the wrong shade of blue and his uniform was too loose around the shoulders..
He wished that knowing it wasn't Gus helped the pain ripping through him.. if Grom feeds on pain and fear then it was getting the biggest feast it ever encountered. He went out with the chance of being turned into a puppet he helped lead the school. Why couldn't he do this?
Matt staggered back slightly trying to escape the sinking feeling in his gut. Grom changed suddenly and became a pile of goo as it launched at Matt grabbing his arm and searching his head for his biggest fear. Suddenly the crowd around him went silent as Grom solidified into...him?
Grom's eyes, no they were his eyes, looked at him and a smirk was clear across the cops face. The scar barely visible on his neck was gone along with the cloudy look in his eyes. The copy was taller and his smile sweeter. The copy was in the hexadecimal uniform except it was just illusions and not construction.
"Hello~," the copy smiled and mimicked his voice almost perfectly.  He sounded younger and sweeter though. Like the kind of baked goods you can only eat one of or you'll hate the idea of eating sweets for a month.
"What this my biggest fear your j-just me," Matt eyes were wide in shock
"Oh Matt Tholomule I'm NOTHING like you. You are a mistake, a screw up, you can't do anything right. i, however, am kinder, stronger , smarter... you mean nothing but I," the copy placed a hand on its chest and smirked," Icould make everyone happier. I'm you if you actually were worth keeping around."
"Please," Matt pretended to laugh. He failed terribly" what- what makes you better than me?"
"I dont hate myself, I actually have value and I'm not a useless friend like you. Who would want to be seen with the kid who can't even hold a sword right. Poor idiot you know we could always switch have you stay here and have me live your life everyone would be better off,"
Matt didn't want to admit how tempting the offer sounded. A better life for his friends...he knew it was a lie but part of him wanted to just agree. Let go and let others be happy for once. They deserved it.
Matt slowly backed away trying to get distance between him and the copy but it just kept moving closer. His back hit the wall and he saw Guss move towards the edge of the stage, a worried look on his face before the copy moved between them. Matt closed his eyes ready to be killed. He would be the first to fail at defeating Grom. He really was useless hu?
He waits to see why he isn't being hit. The chocked noise above him. His eyes widened and he stared up at the copy. And at the sword sticking right through its chest.
"Sorry for the interruption folks but when a friend is in danger you've got to help them out" Gus stood brandishing the sword a smirk clear across his face. Matt would have thought he was calm if it weren't for the slight shake in his stance. 
Gus had saved him even though he could be hurt by Grom he had saved him," I was taught that by Mattholomule the strongest witch I know. And you will never have that. Matt is honest and caring and my best friend hurt him again and we won't be the one seeing our fears you will"
To say Matt was embarrassed would be an understatement. Of course Gus of all people would hear his dark thoughts and instead of judging him try to help. He was friends with Gus because of his positivity of course. His heart beat faster and Gus grabbed his arm leading him away from where Grom was reforming. He really was so glad to have him in his life.
He handed him a hammer and smiled at him gently,"come on Matty you might not be good with a sword but anything can be a weapon right?"
He laughed a smile coming back onto his face,"almost anything unless Grom is lactose intolerant i don't think ice cream will do much bud- ahh"
They fell back as Grom charged a clown appearing behind Gus. Long fangs dripped red and bright orange hair puffed up  on top of its head. It was deathly pale and had red eyes. All and all if this is what Gus saw them as then the fear of clowns was more than justified.
"Gus look out!" He doesn't even register his hands glowing. All he saw was the wall suddenly go up and a spike stab through the clown.
Gus smiled at him and held the sword towards Grom. The demon has split into three one still looked like Matt the other two were clowns.
"Have I mentioned I really hate clowns," Gus was trying to joke about it and failing badly.
"I never would have guessed. You seem to love them,"Matt nudged Gus' shoulder. He might not say it out loud but Gus being close by calmed him down more than anything. He had noticed it while hanging out and was thankful for it in situations like this. This was nothing compared to the demons they faced protecting the looking glass graveyard.
"Are you ready to beat Grom Matty?"
"Do we have to, this was soo fun," Matt laughed and stood shoulder to shoulder with Gus. With the person who he would trust with us life his heart and ole. With the person he would do anything for. They were going to beat this.
"You insolent child, you could never beat me. I'm smarter and faster and stronger, you are nothing!" Grom screamed at them and charged.
Matt lifted his hammer high above his head,"that's where you're wrong I'm Grom king, it's you who's nothing," he swung down as Gust stabbed Grom in the side, the stone weapons spreading through Groms body. Matt smiled as he had done it and he had won. Two shards broke off of Grom the simple stone changing into two crowns. Matt reached down and grabbed both gently laying one on Gus' head before putting one on His own. He hadn't won they had.

La Brea really is just the new Lost, season 3 out here spinning pretzels lmaö.
For starters when did Gavin have actual gaps in his memory, like first it was visions but now suddenly he's been missing a whole year of his life apparently?? And they just never brought it up till now??? Ok. Not even a "I just thought that was the alcoholism, but now I really think about it, I really am missing way more than I should be even with the drinking, that's concerning..." but go off I guess.
Also this was earlier but lol the second she came in screen I Called It they were gonna be gay, love that for them.
But also also isn't the advice usually keep your elbow down??? Babes... this is the oysters of the woods all over again
I'm high key loving Ty's plotline in the future/past tho lol. (The past of their future bc it's before they fell, but back in their time......gotta love time travel). Bro's like "I'm gonna grab this stubborn ass and this sad mess and we're gonna save their future selves and everyone else in the past...somehow. We got this... Gav- Gavin get back here, I said we got this, you will heal damnit."
Mkay but Veronica getting offered the position on the council while hyping up Luke, and then getting immediately defensive when she goes to tell him and he's startled, like, it was genuinely out of the blue from his pov, everyone called him leader and you never brought up interest in or suggested anyone else be in the council. Genuine confusion when you say "I'll talk you up" and then come back with "they offered it to me" to be like "huh...".
But she didn't even give him time to actually dig in to be a dick about it or not, just immediately got defensive, and apparently had already accepted the position? Which seemed kinda shitty, like you're not gonna even discuss it a little? Like "hey so she offered it to me instead, she said these reasons why, I think you could still fit maybe (or whatever), maybe the three of us sit down and talk it out, but at the very least at least there's a clearing person on the council like we wanted, however this ends" ya know, discuss.
But they just really needed them to have ~drama~ so of course. 🙄 They were getting too perfect and supportive of each other, clearly we need to remedy that for good story telling.
Which reminds me of Ty and Paara, Ty for yanked to 21 but where did Paara go?? Ruth is ruling "while she's gone" but like where she go? 😭 I like Ruth but I miss Paara. I also kinda miss Gavin being treated like the little boy that had been living there like a fkking week ago and remembered growing up there. Now he's just ~an outsider~ that kinda acts like it. Bring back the Gavin that's also Isaiah.

#39 Where The Shadow Ends by BANNERS: look, I just went though a songfic period this spring, and I used this one to write about Cassandra helping Will face his trauma. 
#41 Centuries by Fall Out Boy: an oldie but goldie, but like, look me in the eyes and tell me that most of the RA characters do not embody this song. you can’t. 
#43 Coming Home by Sheppard: I will not apologise for loving the “coming home” trope so much and using it every. single. chance. I have. 
#55 Unsteady by X Ambassadors: ok, I will apologise for the killing spree, but this song was for Will learning of Alyss’s death. I have never been less okay. 
#56 Symphony by Sheppard: WILLYSS WILLYSS WILLYSS WILLYSS I’d literally die for them. 
#58 Young Volcanoes by Fall Out Boy: my friend once suggested this song for “the wards changing and saving the world” and she’s right. 
#61 Ghosts by Banners: will you kill me if I remind you that this song was for Pauline after Halt’s death? because that’s how it ended up here. 
#65 Quarter Past Midnight by Bastille: always thinking of the Redmont wards when I hear this. 
#68 Got It In You by BANNERS: this one I also used for writing Cassandra telling Will that he’s more than his trauma. 
#69 The Anchor by Bastille: Horace trying to help Will, but sometimes it’s awfully hard for Will to believe he can be helped. 
#73 Brother by NEEDTOBREATHE and Gavin DeGraw: I am so in love with the found family in RA, istg. 
#82 Superheroes by The Script: this has been an appreciation song for Will and Alyss as separate characters and as a couple for literally as long as I can remember. 
#86 For the First Time by The Script: remember my whole AU about Alyss going to Gallica with Keren and Will getting her back but they have to built their relationshp from scratch? yeah.
#92 Let Her Go by Passenger: this was one of the first songs I every associated with RA and of course it’s TRR. how could it not be? 
#93 Before I Go by Guy Sebastian: I’m a little hesitant to admit that this one is also from my killing spree, but it was the David/Rodney/Arald returning from retirement to save Araluen again which leads to all of their deaths song. 
#97 Die Young by Sheppard: life is hard and dangerous but they’re still having fun. you only live once, right?

Week 4 Thoughts on Lost Gods by Gerald Brom
Chapter 66 - Prologue
Britney Smears: So must admit, the middle of the book dragged a bit for me but the ending made it worth it.
Hell No Kitty: I had similar feelings!
Bomb Weasley: What did everyone think of the last section?
Thot Pocket: Very beautiful. I almost cried at the end.
Bomb Weasley: I kinda wished they all died so they could be together in the after life. Also, on a total jerk of a point, isn’t it ironic that her family thought he was terrible and would ruin her life and then he kinda did?
Britney Smears: Truly, poor Trish. He did!!! I’m so happy for Chet and baby though. Trish is truly the one I feel bad for.
Bomb Weasley: It was a little dark for him to have to kill the body of his baby.
Britney Smears: Oh definitely.
Thot Pocket: I feel so fucking bad for all of them. So awful.
Hell No Kitty: I didn't even think about that, but he really did ruin her life.
Thot Pocket: Ana got the best ending imo.
Hell No Kitty: Her ending made me so happy.
Bomb Weasley: I loved that for her, too. And the Joshua in the epilogue, that made me almost tear up.
Thot Pocket: When she was thinking of drowning herself was so beautiful and the words Mary shared with her were the best in the whole book. I’m so glad Joshua got his mama 😭
Bomb Weasley: I was a little confused, could he have found her the whole time? The angel lied about about the key so I assumed he lied to him as well about leaving.
Thot Pocket: Fuck Senoy. Yep. Senoy is a selfish piece of shit and deserved worse than he got.
Tumblr media
Britney Smears: I was so mad finding out Senoy kept him from his mom the whole time!
Bomb Weasley: Joshua and the rabbit need a vengeance side story.
Britney Smears: Also a big fan of Gavin. Him and Chet were badasses in the end.
Thot Pocket: Loved how that all played out with them working together. I was right about that, just wrong against who.
Britney Smears: Right! Didn’t you think they’d team up against coach or something?
Thot Pocket: Yep yep!
Bomb Weasley: I did like his change of character it was an interesting story.
Hell No Kitty: I feel like Chet meeting Gavin made him more of a badass.
Thot Pocket: He went from beta to SIGMA MALE. Can I say the thing that is just glaring weird to me is Jerome. Why would he help Lamia and where does bro come from? He just randomly manifests. I thought it was going to turn out Jerome was Senoy or something.
Britney Smears: True!! He was never explained.
Hell No Kitty: I really wanted to get hell in this book. They talked about it so much.
Britney Smears: Right!! They tied it back to the burning man nicely but what about hell lol.
Thot Pocket: Burning man was underwhelming on top of it.
Bomb Weasley: I felt the same.
Thot Pocket: I was hoping for some Dante Inferno the game with a demon battle and escape from hell.
Bomb Weasley: I wish he had to answer for the murder more.
Thot Pocket: Yeah I thought he was going to be running from Hell hounds the whole time, but then they just put a spell over it and it doesn’t matter the rest of the time.
Hell No Kitty: I feel like there was a few things like this in the book where they touched on stuff, could've gone deeper, but didn't to move the story along. Like the games.
Bomb Weasley: I hated that! But it would have been a super long book if he gave more background.
Thot Pocket: I think it should’ve been a series.
Bomb Weasley: That would have been fantastic.
Britney Smears: What was the purpose of the games to the plot again?
Thot Pocket: To honor the gods’ greatest warriors and excite their disciples.
Britney Smears: Oookay n Chet won, no longer a slave and that enabled him to do something after.
Thot Pocket: Yep yep! It gained him the good graces of Veles too.
Hell No Kitty: Oh man, I would love a book about the games.
Thot Pocket: Same. They seemed frightening. Tournament to the ultimate death with gods? Like Record of Ragnarok, but good.
Bomb Weasley: I loved and hated how Veles got healed.
Thot Pocket: Plot coins rather than armor.
Bomb Weasley: The book would have been better if he stayed dead. Or if he’d died.
Thot Pocket: But I was so excited when he started fucking up those guys. I was like “this is exactly why they ambushed him.” I was so happy to finally see god like powers like that.
Britney Smears: Red lady could’ve handled all the demons by herself lol.
Thot Pocket: I JUST THINK VELES IS CUTE AND I LIKE THE DEER BOI lol. I’m biased.
Bomb Weasley: He is! His portrait is my fav in the book. I just prefer sad outcomes in books.
Britney Smears: Veles living makes up for Chet ruining Trish’s life.
Thot Pocket: Well you got your child murder and death. I think that’s like 25 percent sad for the ending lol.
Bomb Weasley: I’ll take what I can get.
Hell No Kitty: Great point hahaha.
Thot Pocket: How fucked up was that ritual Lamia was doing?
Britney Smears: She’s the worst.
Bomb Weasley: It was, I was a little shocked by that tbh. And her running around in the baby.
Hell No Kitty: The way he described the scene was so good.
Bomb Weasley: It was a creepy image. I couldn’t put the book down.
Hell No Kitty: I appreciate how engaging the end was. I really liked the part where chet was being chased by Carlos and Co.
Thot Pocket: I was fucking loving it when he got his head on fire and then blown off.
Bomb Weasley: The whole gun fight was great. I still don’t get guns in the after life it was described so well.
Britney Smears: Did y’all get a western vibe?
Hell No Kitty: Oh yeah.
Britney Smears: Ok good not just me lol I enjoyed it too and normally I don’t like westerns
Thot Pocket: I’m wondering how they have the much of a functioning economy when things only come from with what people are buried with.
Britney Smears: That’s true but they like cut off their hands to pay for things right lol.
Bomb Weasley: That’s a good point. Why do they need anything? Like I get it passes the time. Maybe the author took a bunch of Adderall and wrote.
