baldur's gate oc: Velvela Dyre
And the less I seek my source for some definitive Closer I am to fine
I always get super excited when I can catch a @delborovic stream; especially when I have a new OC that's putting me in a chokehold. And!!!! This!!!! Snowy!!! Vel!!!! Has me feeling so soft!!!! Winter is her favorite season; the quiet of a snow covered landscape gives her a sense of peace like nothing else in the world can.
Thank you so much again for making my girl look so sweet! She isn't most of the time but God does she try.

like once every other day since the Barbie trailer came out, I remember that Barbie drives her car while singing "the less I seek my source for some definitive, the closer I am to fine" and feel a tiny spark of joy

6, 7, and 12 for the general kh asks
Kingdom Hearts Ask Game !!! :>
6. Favorite song?
fun fact! my top spotify artist last year was Yoko Shimomura. lol. first tracks that come to mind are "The Key" (perfectly captures the tone of being on the edge of the world's fate), "Master of Masters" (with 12 years of piano education i know that it's not easy to compose or play music that dissonant and have it sound that good), and the version of "Vector to the Heavens" used in Xion's data battle in 3 (that fucking 2 second drum breakdown before it goes back into the main melody UGHHH pure catharsis)
7. Which moment left the biggest impact on you?
i connected emotionally with KH right away when i first got into it, just from the opening cutscenes. i didn't even grow up with it, and i still think it's high-octane nostalgia in a bottle in all the best ways. but the moment that KH went from a passing curiosity to "this is going to be really important to me" was the Road to Dawn scene in CoM.
due to a lot of personal stuff i was dealing with at the time, i really resonated with this idea of choosing a path not of dogmatic refusal to accept any inner darkness, nor of nihilistically embracing that darkness, but rather a path of progress. a path that accepts that there will always be darkness, but a path that insists that there will always be light, too.
there's more than one answer to these questions, pointing me in a crooked line / but the less i seek my source for some definitive, the closer i am to fine. (oh it looks like that song was on the barbie soundtrack? neat i guess. the link is to the original version.)
12. Favorite platonic ship?
obviously because of the above i really like the relationship between king mickey and riku. there's a running motif in the series of Authority Figures Failing Those Under Their Authority, but i think mickey and riku's relationship is KH's model for what a good master-apprentice relationship looks like. part of it is that, even before riku becomes a keyblade master, mickey treats riku as an equal, doesn't hold his authority over him, is willing to learn from him without any apparent pride. it's so different from nearly every other master-student relationship we see in the series!
granted, mickey still fails riku, unwittingly sending him into a trap during the mark of mastery exam in DDD. but then, i dont think there's a single master who DOESN'T fail their apprentices in some way.
[remembers how aqua is kairi's master now] uh oh. uh oh! noo kairi watch out, the recurring motif is right behind you! oh no she has airpods in!! kairi!!!!

No but seriously imagine it
You’re seeing tori amos on a concert. Everyone is having a great time. Tori seems a little excited. ��I have a surprise for you guys.” Tori says. All of a sudden tracy chapman comes out and starts singing “fast car.” When tracy gets to the chorus, someone else starts singing…“There's more than one answer to these questions, Pointing me in a crooked line. And the less I seek my source for some definitive…Closer I am to fine, yeah!” Lights flash everywhere, and you see tori singing “fast car” along with tracy, while the indigo girls are singing “closer to fine”. Everyone in the crowd is going wild and crying. Then if things couldn’t get any better, melissa etheridge and Ani DiFranco walk onto stage and kiss, holding the gay flag.

Just watched the Barbie movie and 🌸spoilers ahead🌸:
So Barbie listens to Indigo Girls song Closer to Fine while driving to the real world. She also listens to it on the return trip to Barbie Land.
The chorus of the song goes: "And I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains. I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains. There's more than one answer to these questions. Pointing me in a crooked line And the less I seek my source for some definitive. Closer I am to fine, yeah."
And what does Barbie do first when she chooses to be human in the real world? She goes to the gynecologist, the doctor.
She's starting her journey along the crooked line where she's seeking to be closer to just fine. Just like Ken, she is enough.

Indigo Girls - "Closer to Fine" (Larkin Poe Cover)
Lyrics: I'm trying to tell you something 'bout my life Maybe give me insight between black and white And the best thing you ever done for me Is to help me take my life less seriously It's only life after all, yeah
Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable And lightness has a call that's hard to hear And I wrap my fear around me like a blanket I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it I'm crawling on your shores
And I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains There's more than one answer to these questions Pointing me in a crooked line And the less I seek my source for some definitive (The less I seek my source) Closer I am to fine, yeah Closer I am to fine, yeah
And I went to see the doctor of philosophy With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee He never did marry or see a B-grade movie He graded my performance, he said he could see through me I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind Got my paper and I was free
And I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains There's more than one answer to these questions Pointing me in a crooked line And the less I seek my source for some definitive (The less I seek my source) Closer I am to fine, yeah Closer I am to fine, yeah
I stopped by the bar at 3 A.M. To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before And I went in seeking clarity
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains We go to the doctor, we go to the mountains We look to the children, we drink from the fountain Yeah, we go to the Bible, we go through the workout We read up on revival, we stand up for the lookout
There's more than one answer to these questions Pointing me in a crooked line And the less I seek my source for some definitive (The less I seek my source) Closer I am to fine
Closer I am to fine Closer I am to fine, yeah

“The Less I Seek My Source for Some Definitive”*
Tumblr media
Oh, oh…but I found one!
The “Teacher in Transition” makes a decision for permanence!
Siddhartha Gautama, the great Buddha, is reputed to have enlightened us with the hopeful observation, “wisdom is where you find it.” During a life mostly lived being a great deal unwise, I kid you not, wisdom finds you when you’re not looking for it and will deliver itself sucker punch style. Wandering aimlessly about during life, “just bein’ me,” wisdom would follow me around and let it be known that “me” was being stupid. And, with wisdom being wise and all, wisdom would school me in various ways.
Upon my wise decision to retire after 30+ years in education, I “wisely” decided that I would live in the all powerful moment…the now…the true reality…the what is. After a life lived carefully structured and planned, we would live spontaneously with only the most general of plans; the circumstances of the moment would direct our decisions. One of my favorite songs ever, “Close I am to Fine” by the Indigo Girls sets forth a philosophy of live I have found to be a path of truth that is in harmony with my spirit. The magic line in the chorus, “the less I seek my source from some definitive…the closer I am to fine!”*** It’s a personal truth. The entire song appeals to me with its open ended search for a meaningful life. Avoiding a definitive view or course of action or a theology opens one’s life to the serendipitous, explorations of living and relating to people. It is harmonious and expands confidence.
Tumblr media
Oh no. I think I have a definitive. Yes, I’ve adopted a definitive! Since 2012, we’ve traveled to Mexico, Canada, Italy, France, Spain, Monaco, Vatican City, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, England. We’ve gotten through a pandemic, left careers and rebuilt lives. We paid off our home and got finances in good order. We’ve lived in Alexandria, Louisiana; Granbury, Texas; and Georgetown, Texas; Lufkin, Texas, Dallas, Texas; and Nacogdoches, Texas. We endured tragedy, losses of life and the world being turned ass over head. After all of this, I have discovered a definitive… I will not live out my days in the East Texas area. Ipso facto, I have spoken, let it be so…
Nacogdoches was and is an idyllic town to live and raise a family; our joyous memories are almost unlimited. There is much to do and experience and learn in East Texas. I’ve had enough. Nothing frightens me more than the thought that the things I see daily, will be the same things I’ve seen over forty years. My definitive has no judgement passed on this region. I just need to see more. This is a personal decision. We’ve spent forty years being responsible home bodies. I just can’t. This is the only definitive…beyond that we are dreaming of living out our lives in West Texas, the Hill Country, Italy, Ireland, Georgia, Colorado…what have you; we just have had East Texas too long.
Tumblr media
Everyone’s choice will look different. To some, retiring in a familiar place is their heaven, the options are strictly personal. I urge you, as a transitioning teacher, look beyond habit and comfort and deeply seek where peace and happiness can be found. If it’s driving a camper around the country…do it. If fishing by the riverside is your Nirvana, “namaste”. We make way too many compromises on our life’s journey. Free yourself, to the degree possible from having life lived exclusively based on expediency and practicality. Your personal path…your personal joy…on your personal level. It’s only life after all.
*Sailers, Emily Ann; “The Closer I Am to Fine;” Indigo Girls; Epic Records; February 28, 1989

Wouldn’t It Be Nice? (Wanda Maximoff/ Reader)
Tumblr media
Hello! May I present you all with part 2 of the "Love Goes” sequel. I’m still trying to decide on the name for it, but I’m really appreciating all the suggestions so feel free to keep sending them. A fair amount of dialogue from Wandavision is still used since it was necessary, but less than the first part for sure since the story is developing.
Songs used are “Wouldn’t It Be Nice?” by The Beach Boys (1966) and “This Magic Moment”  by The Drifters (1968). Hope you all enjoy!
Summary: As Y/n and Wanda attempt to settle into 1960s Westview, what shenanigans will they encounter? Will they be able to fit in?
“You’re a mystery around here, you know?”
Glancing up from your desk, you noticed the familiar figure of your partner leaning against the entryway of your office with a friendly smile on her face. “A mystery you say?” You questioned in amusement. 
Instead of answering right away, she moved further into the office and took a seat in one of your chairs. “Yes. We’ve been partners for weeks and I barely know anything about you besides the information that everyone already knows because you were an Avenger.”
You shrugged and leaned back in your chair. “Maybe that’s how I want it.” Was your cryptic response. 
“If you say so.” The woman rested her head on her palm thoughtfully. “One day you’re going to have to let someone in.”
“Maybe I already have. Maybe I’ve learned better.” You raised an eyebrow in challenge. 
For a moment she just stared at you, analyzing you. “So, you regret it then? Letting someone in?”
“I could never regret it.” You replied quickly, easily. 
She leaned forward with interest. “Does the reason for your mystery have a name?”
There was hesitation in your voice as you responded. “Wanda.” If you were going to be partners, it was only a matter of time until she found out anyway.
Her eyebrows raised slightly in recognition, everyone who worked there knew who Wanda was. “Hmm.” She hummed, her expression neutral. “I actually came in here to ask if you wanted to get dinner together? Maybe lift the shroud of mystery a bit more.” Her tone was teasing.
A soft chuckle escaped your lips. “Sure…” A name followed the word, but it was muffled. Almost as though you couldn’t remember it even in dreams. 
“Y/n.” The women said as you looked up at her with furrowed eyebrows. “Y/n. Y/n. Y/n.”
With a jolt, you sat up in bed, relaxing slightly when you realized you were in your shared room with your wife. “Y/n.” You heard again. Turning your head, your eyes landed on Wanda who was looking back at you with wide eyes. 
“Yes, my love?” You answered groggily through a yawn. 
Her expression became shy as she fiddled with the sheets. “I think I heard something at the window.”
Glancing towards the window you heard nothing but silence. “I’m sure it’s nothing, sweetheart.” You said reassuringly but got up when you saw her expression remained the same. “Allow me to put your mind at ease.”
Pushing aside the curtains, you glanced outside and saw nothing but the picturesque garden Wanda had lovingly put so much effort into. “What do you see?” She probed tentatively.  
“Only your lovely rose bushes.” You answered as you scanned the yard once more. When you were satisfied, you closed the curtains and turned back to face Wanda who still looked skeptical. “I assure you, I saw nothing amiss. You have no reason to be frighten-”
A bang against the window interrupted your sentence as you let out a squeak and dove into your bed to seek safety. You pulled your covers up to your chin. 
Wanda stared at you with an unamused expression as the disembodied voices laughed. “You were saying?”
“You know, I was reading an article in the newspaper about suspicious activity that’s been recently occurring in the neighborhood.” You mumbled defensively from behind your sheets. “Who knows what that could mean. Robbing house, vandalizing property-”
“Manipulating the earth, moving objects without touching them?” Wanda cut you off sarcastically. 
You tilted your head curiously. “You think they were referring to us?” Before Wanda could respond another thud against the window startled you both. You gasped and Wanda magically pulled the beds together. “One of us should really determine the source of that sound.” You suggested meekly.
Wanda set her lips in a line and shook her head at your antics. “Yes, one of us should.” She grumbled sarcastically.  Another thud tapped against the window, making you both jump again. “Oh, this is getting ridiculous. I’m going to take a look.” 
You grimaced as you both turned towards the window. Wanda waved her hand to open the curtains, only to find that the source of the sound came from a tree branch tapping against the window from the wind.
There was an awkward moment of silence as you both merely stared at the true source of the sound. “Well… I think we handled that well.” Wanda said lightly with a playful smile. 
You turned on your side to face Wanda with a smile to match hers. “Yes, I’m very proud of us. All the trees in the neighborhood will know not to disturb us from now on.” You said teasingly. You glanced down at the bed with a smirk. “I’m even more pleased with the way you’ve seized the opportunity to redecorate.”
Wanda grinned suggestively. “This is better, isn’t it?” She questioned as she waved her hand. Immediately the two separate beds transformed into a one large bed.
“Wanda, darling.”
Her eyes twinkled mischievously. “Yes, dear?”
You shifted closer. “Get the lights.” Wanda waved her hand to turn off the light as she pulled the covers over both your heads. As soon as the covers were over you both, you could feel her eagerly climb on top of you and connect your lips fervently. The disembodied voices gasped scandalously.
“You know, I’m beginning to think I should have been the assistant, darling.” You called out as you adjusted the hat that was placed precariously on your head.
There was a short pause before Wanda shouted her reply, “Just say the line!”
Sighing at her response, you turned back so you were facing out into the room. You took a moment to close your eyes and take a deep breath as you got into character. If you were going to do this, you were going to do it right.
“Ladies and gentlemen, for my final trick, I bring you…” You paused for dramatic effect. “The cabinet of mysteries.”
You gestured out into the open air where Wanda should have been, rubbing a hand down your face in amusement when she didn’t respond. “Darling. That’s your cue.” 
“Did you say cabinet of mysteries?” She called from the hallway. 
Stepping back, you gestured dramatically to the open space once again. “I said… Cabinet of mysteries!” You repeated even more theatrically.  
“Oh. That’s my cue.” Wanda said cutely as you could hear her struggle to push the large box into the room. 
Quickly rushing over to help her, you huffed at the weight of the object as you pulled it. “Doesn’t this seem like a bit… much?” You asked hesitantly. 
Wanda waved her hand dismissively. “You should hear about what some of the others are planning. Let’s keep going.” She urged, her eyes shining brightly with excitement.
When she looked at you like that, you were unable to deny her anything she wanted. You would have given her the moon and all the stars if she asked for them. 
You quickly got back into character. “Yes, okay. Where was I?” you mumbled to yourself. “Ah, yes! Watch closely as I, Terra, make my captivating assistant, Glamour… disappear!” You bit back laughter as Wanda posed dramatically. 
In unison, you opened the doors as Wanda stepped in, her eyes locked on yours adoringly. “You really are very stunning.” 
A blush spread across your cheeks as you smiled bashfully back at her. “Thank you, darling.” You stood with your hand resting against the doors. “Fear not, Glamour. I vow to bring you back exactly as you were.” Again, you had to bite back laughter at Wanda’s expression. 
A overly dramatic gasped escaped your wife’s lips as you closed the door. “Abracadabra!” You exclaimed as you tapped the box three times with the plastic wand. After a beat you opened the door once again to reveal the empty box. “Ta-da!”
Wanda began clapping as she stepped out from behind the trick door, a delighted smile on her face. “That was amazing!” When she received no response from you, her brows drew together apprehensively. “What’s wrong?”
“It still seems a little much.” You admitted sheepishly. “Plus, I think you’re a better fit for the magician than I am. Your powers are more aligned.”
Wanda stepped out of the box and made her way over to you. “Darling, it’s fine. In a real magic act everything is fake.” She reassured you “The talent show fundraiser is the most important event of the season. It’s our neighborly duty to participate… And our chance to appear as normal as possible while doing so.”
“We are the very definition of normal, dear.” You replied teasingly as you allowed yourself to float for a moment to emphasize your point before settling back to the floor. 
That’s new, you thought to yourself. 
If Wanda was surprised by your actions, she didn’t show it as she gently took your hands in her own and pulled you closer. “This is our home now. I want us to fit in.” There was vulnerability in her eyes which immediately put a stop to your joking.
Tenderly, you stroked the back of her hand with your thumb. “Oh, Wanda… We do. We will. I’ll make sure of it. And we’ll be the best act out there.” You promised her earnestly. Once again, you’d do anything for her. 
Wanda leaned forward and placed a short kiss on your lips in appreciation. 
“Especially with you wearing this.” You added with a wiggle of your eyebrows as you picked up her stage outfit and held it in front of her. 
Wanda shook her head in amusement. “That’s actually the rest of your costume.” She quipped teasingly. 
With a shrug, you held the costume against yourself. “I did say I would be better off as your assistant…” You trailed off as the disembodied laughter once again drifted into the air.
With a light hit to your shoulder Wanda took the costume back in her hands. “There will be no backing out now, Y/n.”
“Wouldn’t dream of it.” You pressed a soft kiss to her temple.
Briefly Wanda glanced down at her watch. “Well, I better get going if I want to make the planning committee meeting.”
Reaching over, you grabbed your cardigan off the couch and began pulling it over your blouse. “I should be off as well. I have a meeting with Ellie.” At the mention of your publisher’s daughter, Wanda’s eyed you, an uneasy expression on her face. 
“Why are you meeting with her, darling?” Wanda questioned with a tense smile.
Occupied by the buttons on your cardigan, you missed her expression. “It seems she takes after her father as she is the chief publisher of the town’s newspaper. After last night’s scare, I want to make sure the town is informed and prepared for any potential dangers.” You said seriously.
The tension in her shoulders melted away at your response as Wanda affectionately tugged you forward by the cardigan. “That’s a swell idea. You make sure you let all the tree branches in town know who’s boss.” She pulled you even closer and pecked your lips.
When you pulled away she adjusted your cardigan. “Would you look at us? Fitting right into Westview. Who would’ve thought?” You teased with a wink.
A short laugh escaped her lips as she looked at you fondly. “I’ll see you at curtain call.” She announced as she moved into the kitchen. You chuckled and departed through the front the door.  
Shortly after you left a loud thud caught Wanda’s attention. When she stepped outside a vibrant object in the bushes stood out easily against the monotonous tones that surrounded it. She looked around nervously. When she plucked the object out of the bush, she stared at it for a moment. The confusion in her eyes was clear as she held the object as though it was a threat.
The vibrant red helicopter was clearly out of place. 
“Look, it’s the star of the show!” 
Wanda jumped at the sudden voice as she dropped the toy back into the bush. “Agnes,” She gasped out as she clutched at her chest. “I’m sorry, what did you say?”
Agnes’ smile never faltered as she raised the cage in her hand. “Oh, I brought my pet rabbit for your magic act.”
“Yes, of course! Thank you, Agnes.” Wanda said appreciatively as she took the cage from her and began walking in the direction of the house again. “We will take good care of him.” 
With a proud smile, Agnes called after Wanda, “Señor Scratchy just loves the stage. He played baby Jesus in last year’s Christmas pageant!”
Unsure of what to say to her comment, Wanda turned and laughed awkwardly as she placed the rabbit inside. ___________ When you arrived at the Westview tribune, you found Ellie’s office easily, except she seemed preoccupied by the papers in hands. The soft sound of music drifted quietly from the radio at her desk.
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray, it might come true. Baby, then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do. Oh, we could be married and then we'd be happy. Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
The music distracted you temporarily as your thoughts wandered – essentially entranced by the unfamiliar tune. Static over the song cut into your thoughts as what sounded like muffled speaking rolled over the instruments. Ellie didn’t react to the change in sound, almost as though she chose not to hear it. You figured she was just engrossed in her work. The muffled sounds lingered for a second longer before fading into the music once again. With a shake of your head, you remembered why you were there.
To get Ellie’s attention you knocked softly on the entryway, smiling politely when she looked up. “Hi, sorry to interrupt. Is now still a good time to discuss the neighborhood safety article?”
“Y/n. You’re not interrupting at all.” Ellie said dismissively as she leaned back in her chair and waved you in. “Lay it on me.” 
You took a seat in one of her chairs. “Well, I was recently reading an article in the tribune about suspicious activity in the neighborhood and I thought it might be relevant to feature an additional article discussing safety protocols and tips.” You pitched enthusiastically. 
A minute passed without a word. “I think that’s a swell idea, Y/n.” She finally said with a smile.
An excited smile crossed your features as you attempted to contain yourself. “My wife said the same thing.” You admitted bashfully.
With an amused smile, Ellie rested her head against her palm as she scrutinized you. “Well, it’s clear she has excellent taste.” She paused briefly. “She is married to you after all.”
Unsure of how to respond to the comment, you decided to ignore it entirely.
 Hesitantly, you stood up and offered her a hand which she easily took. “Thank you for meeting with me today, but I really should be going. I want to get to the talent show location early to get everything ready for Wanda. Today means a lot to her.” 
Ellie stood with you and stepped around her desk. “The talent show isn’t for a good while. Stay and chat. Maybe lift the shroud of mystery a bit more.” She said playfully.
Her words caused you to recoil as remnants of your dream from the night before flashed through your mind. “Sure… Ellie.” You responded unsurely. 
“Are you alright, Y/n?” Ellie’s eyebrows knitted together in concern as she took a hold of your elbow.
For some reason, you couldn’t help but feel something familiar in the action. It wasn’t flirtatious, it was comforting. Like the touch of an old friend. “I’m fine.” You paused as you attempted to gather your thoughts. “Just déjà vu.” You insisted.
There was still hesitance in Ellie’s eyes as she released her hold of your elbow. “If you say so.” Suddenly, she snapped her fingers, which caused you to jump slightly. “Maybe you can get into the neighborhood watch committee.”
You nodded eagerly, relieved her focus was back to the article. “I can do that.”
“Between you and me, I think it’s just an excuse for the men in the neighborhood to eat pastries.” She whispered in a mock-conspirator voice.
A short laugh escaped your lips. “Even more of a reason to join.” Once again, you glanced down at your watch. “I really should be going now though.”
Ellie nodded, knowing there would be no convincing you otherwise. “Before you go, do you mind helping me get a box of books down from my bookshelf?” She gestured to the box on a shelf slightly above your height, but just out of Ellie’s own reach.
“Sure thing.” You made your over the shelf and began sliding the box off the shelf, so you could get a better hold of it.
Just as the box was teetering precariously along the edge of the shelf the static on the radio flared as a single word slipped through clearly. “Y/n.” The sudden appearance of your name startled you as the box fell off the shelf and knocked you in the head, causing you to fall.
A surprised gasp escaped Ellie’s lips as she rushed over to kneel by your side. “Are you okay?”
When you looked up, there were three different versions of the woman before you swimming in your vision. “’m fine.” You mumbled out as you rubbed the side of your head.
Cautiously Ellie helped you up, her eyes skeptical. “If you say so. Here, at least take this pain reliever.” She quickly walked over to her desk and grabbed the medicine before handing it to you. 
To appease her you took the medicine. “Have a nice... work time.” You said unsurely as the thoughts in your head became muddled. On unsteady feet you made your way out of the office and began your trek to the location of the talent show, not wanting to keep Wanda waiting. ____________________ Hurriedly, you rushed up the steps to the gazebo where your wife was waiting anxiously. On the last step you stumbled and fell on your side. An amused chuckle escaping your lips. “Wanda,” You said unsteadily with a crooked smile when your wife came into your view. “You look breathtaking.” 
“Where were you? Did something happen?” Wanda rushed over and helped you up, her brows knit together in worry. 
Her question fell on deaf ears as you leaned heavily against her. Your eyes settled on the women who was on your other side seemingly ready to catch you if you fell again. “Well, hello there.” You said with a goofy grin. “Have we met? I apologize if we have, I don’t even know the name of my desk mate. My name is Y/n Y/ln… or is it Maximoff? We never discussed the logistics.” 
Much to Wanda’s relief the woman seemed amused by your antics. “We have not. I’m Geraldine.” The women replied, offering you a hand which you shook rapidly. With an awkward smile she stepped back. “I’ll be over there checking on the other acts.”
Geraldine walked away, and you continued leaning into Wanda. “Where were you?” she repeated, her eyes still wide with worry.
“Was just at the tribune. I might have gotten lost on the way here. I heard the loveliest song.” You rambled deliriously with a wave of your hand. 
Ignoring your words, Wanda tried to get you to stand on your own. When you were properly upright, she took your hand in hers, her expression serious. “Listen, something strange happened today, Y/n. It’s hard to explain.”
Your eyes widened in an overdramatic fashion. “Did the man in the radio try to talk to you too?” you said in a poorly executed whisper.
“Man in the radio? What? Y/n, no. What is going on?” Wanda questioned, her concern growing. 
Geraldine rushed over, interrupting the conversation. “You are!”
Indistinctly you could feel Wanda adjust the hat on your head as she rushed away. You began fiddling with the ring on your finger as your mind wandered. “Hey! Hey! You’re up!” Geraldine whispered urgently as she ushered you out onto the stage.
When stepped onto the stage, you felt as though the floor below you shifted which caused you to stumble into a post. “Pardon me, I’m sorry.” You mumbled as you staggered down the steps. “Hello, Westview!” You shouted dramatically. “Good afternoon, it’s lovely to be here! I’m Terra, Glamour’s assistant!” you declared confidently. 
“What she means is I’m Glamour, her assistant and she’s terra the illusionist.” Wanda corrected with a dramatic wave of her hands. 
“Yeah… what she said.” You turned towards the audience with wide arms and a deliriously bright smile. “Today, we will lie to you and you will believe us!” You shouted boldly as Wanda’s smile faltered slightly. “Because you are all naïve and easily amused by simple slights of hand. And fooled by basic illusions due to how little you’ve seen! Flourish!” 
The strained smile on Wanda’s face remained as you wandered over to the opposite side of the stage. “You just do it, you don’t say it out loud, honey.”
You waved a hand dismissively as you attempted to search through your muddled mind for the rest of the act. “Now, my wife and I will delight in your dumbstruck little faces. Flourish!” You repeated as you allowed yourself to float into the air. 
Thinking quickly Wanda waved her fingers and a rope attached itself to you as the crowd chattered excitedly. You turned sideways in the air from the rope as Wanda maneuvered it to lift you higher. You felt your head spin even more than it was before. “Wanda! Darling, let me down! I’m feeling dizzy!” You shouted indignantly. 
Thankfully Wanda let you down moments later, her concerned expression breaking through her show façade. 
You attempted to recall the next portion of the act, but eventually gave up when you spotted a car parked just off stage. Metal. Perfect. “How about a fantastical feat of strength?” You maneuvered your fingertips so that they were barely resting on the bottom of the car. With a quick wink to the audience, you turned to focus on the car again. 
With a slight wiggle of your fingers the car began to float just above your hand, so it looked like you were picking it up. 
“Illusions!” Wanda shouted nervously and made her way over to you after she wiggled her fingers. “Terra is the master of illusions! Allow me.” She took the now cardboard car from your hands, making sure the audience saw that it was indeed cardboard.
When she turned she winked at the audience. “Whoops! You weren’t supposed to see how we did that trick.”
Feeling yourself getting sleepy, you decided to jump forward to the final part of the act. A portion that you actually felt you remembered. “Ladies and gentlemen, for our grand finale, I bring you the box of… magic?” You shouted semi-confidently, unable to think of the name you had practiced just that morning.  
Wanda took the hint and began wheeling out the box. “The cabinet of mysteries!” She corrected.
“Yeah, yeah. What she said.” You pulled open the doors to show the box was empty inside. “I will now make my wife disappear!” 
“Are you sure you don’t want an audience volunteer named my husband Ralph?” Agnes called out from the audience.
You forced a chuckle along with the audience, “Haha- no.” You mumbled flatly as you closed the doors to the cabinet. “Abracadabra!” you weakly hit the box with the plastic wand, proud of yourself for remembering that step.
Wanda looked around nervously. “Uh, sweetheart?” 
“Yeah?”
“Hi.”
“Oh.” You said, realizing you forgot the most important step. The crowd quickly started chanting what’s in the box.
Both you and Wanda exchanged timid glances as Wanda’s smile became strained. Her body language showing her obvious discomfort with the situation. Subtly, she wiggled her fingers once more. 
With hesitant hands, you pulled open the doors with Wanda to reveal a very confused Geraldine. 
The crowd cheered enthusiastically. All three of you took hands and bowed. “Flourish.” You muttered sheepishly for the final time. “Let’s get out of here.” You mumbled to Wanda as you ran off stage. 
When you were safely backstage, you turned towards Wanda with a guilty look on your face. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m so stupid.” You cried as you sat yourself on the floor and covered your face in shame. 
Wanda hastily made her way over to you and delicately placed her hands on your cheeks as she tried to get you to look at her. “Y/n. Y/n, it’s alright. Hey, it’s okay.” She reassured you as she attempted to urge your eyes up to meet hers. “But what is going on with you?”
You threw your hands up in frustration. “I don’t know! It all started when all of Ellie’s books fell on my head and then she gave me medicine that made me feel worse.” You whimpered.
Wanda’s eyes softened. “Oh, sweetheart. Let’s get you home, so you can sleep it off.” She gently coaxed you up. “And before Dottie and the planning committee can string us up for ruining the show.
Wordlessly you agreed with her plan and took her by the hand as you both attempted to sneak passed the audience. 
“You two! Stop right there.” Wanda’s hand tensed in your own as you both turned to face Dottie who was on stage. “Nothing like what you two did has ever happened in the history of our talent show.”
You squeezed Wanda’s hands comfortingly as you stared down at the floor in shame. “Dottie,” Wanda began fearfully. “We are so-“
“Hilarious!” The woman interrupted Wanda. You both shared a look of surprise. “That was the most hilarious act we have ever seen. Wouldn’t you all agree?” The crowd cheered.
Dottie gestured you both on stage which you both uncomfortably complied with. “On behalf of the planning committee I would like to award you with the inaugural comedy performance of the year.” Wanda beamed proudly as she took the offered trophy. The look on her face made everything worth it to you.
You smiled deliriously at the sight as you rubbed your head which was still spinning. 
As the crowd cheered you gestured Geraldine forward into your final bow, everything after blurring together so much that you couldn’t remember it. _______________ When you came to again, you were on the couch at home. Your head resting in Wanda’s lap as she stroked your hair soothingly. “Hi, sweetheart. How are you feeling?” She asked softly when she noticed your eyes flutter open.
You sat up and blinked a few times. “Much better, my love. Heads all clear again.” You answered as you knocked lightly on the side of your head. “Though I don’t remember everything that happened.”
Wanda chuckled softly and pecked your cheek. “I think it’s better you don’t, darling. While you were amusing in your delirious state, nothing can beat the Y/n I know and love.” Wanda leaned into your side as you wrapped an arm around her. “I don’t know what I was so worried about. It wasn’t so hard to fit in after all.” She admitted. 
You rubbed your hand up and down her arm tenderly. “And all we had to do was be ourselves.”
“With a few modifications.” Wanda added with an amused smile. 
For a moment you both just settled in the comfort of the moment before you stood up and made your way over to the radio, turning it on. “Let’s celebrate.” You suggested as you fiddled with the knobs.
Sweeter than wine, softer than the summer night. Everything I want I have, whenever I hold you tight. This magic moment, while your lips are close to mine, will last forever. Forever ‘til the end of time.
Satisfied with the music, you turned back to Wanda and offered her your hand. “I was wondering if I may have this dance, my love?”
Wanda stared up at you with loving eyes as she took your offered hand and stood up. “You certainly may.” 
Gently, you pulled her closer. Your arms wrapped securely around her waist as hers rested over your shoulders. The feeling was comforting and familiar. Everything either of you ever needed. Wanda’s eyes stayed on yours, glimmering with pure love and happiness, the look mirrored in your own expression. For a moment you both just swayed in place to the rhythm of the song, your heads pressed gently together as you cherished being there in that moment. 
The moment was short-lived as static rolled over the music playing much like it did earlier in the day. Both you and Wanda pulled away to stare at the radio. 
Once again, the muffled speaking began, this time much stronger than before. “Wanda.” The voice called out clearly, this time addressing your wife. You didn’t know why but you knew that you recognized the voice. You just couldn’t place a name to the voice. “Wanda. Can you hear me? What happening, Wanda?” 
You turned to look at Wanda, unease in your eyes. “What’s going on?” you questioned, but her eyes remained locked on the radio. 
Before Wanda could say anything, a loud thud outside caught your attention. The abruptness of the sound making you jump and effectively distracting you both from the radio. “If it’s the damn tree again, I’m going to rip it up by the roots.” You announced as you stormed outside, the radio forgotten as Wanda followed closely behind you. 
You walked to the edge of the yard, looking around as Wanda stopped beside you. “I don’t see anything.” She said lightly. 
Almost as soon as the words left her lips, a mysterious figure came out of the drain cover. “Wanda. What is that?” you stepped protectively over to her, your arm wrapping around her from behind.  
The figure turned their head in your direction. “No.” Wanda said sharply. 
Satisfied with the music, you turned back to Wanda and offered her your hand. “I was wondering if I may have this dance, my love?”
Wanda stared up at you with loving eyes as she took your offered hand. “You certainly may.”
You froze slightly when Wanda stood up. “Um. Wanda.” 
“Hmm, what?” She questioned with a cute tilt of her head. Your eyes fell to her abdomen which had become round with the signs of pregnancy. You delicately placed your hand on her stomach as she gasped. “Y/n… is this really happening?” The smile she gave you was so bright that it could have rivaled the sun. 
You brought her hand up to your lips and pressed a soft kiss to the palm of her hand. “Yes, my love. It’s really happening.”
Lovingly Wanda leaned forward and connected your lips in a sweet kiss as the disembodied voices cooed at the action. When you pulled away Wanda cupped your cheek, a surprised look in her eyes when she looked at you. “Y/n.” 
You both looked around in awe as the home around you became rich with vibrant colors. Like magnets you were drawn back together as you both met in a loving kiss. . . . . . . . . The group once again watched you and Wanda share a sweet kiss as the credits rolled on the screen before them. A moment of tense silence hung in the air as they attempted to process what they just saw. 
“You got her pregnant!” Natasha finally shouted at Steve, smacking him in the back of the head. 
Darcy tried to choke back a laugh at the sudden comment as she fumbled with the technology, not wanting to get caught in the crossfire. “I don’t think that’s how pregnancy works.” She mumbled to herself.
Steve rubbed the back of his head with a frown. “I didn’t get her pregnant, Nat.” He huffed in annoyance. “And I might not be a scientist, but I know Y/n couldn’t impregnate her either. I’m pretty sure Wanda got herself pregnant.”
“Yeah, well, one minute they’re dancing and then you try and talk to them and suddenly Wanda’s pregnant. I blame you.” Natasha countered with a roll of her eyes. “Which, by the way, while Y/n was lifting heavy objects over her head? Really?”
Darcy’s eyes widened in amusement as she tried to keep her expression neutral. 
“That… wasn’t my finest moment.” Steve admitted shamefully as he rubbed his temples in embarrassment. 
As the two Avengers were arguing Fury shut off the television. “What’s done is done. Now that we have Monica in there under the guise of working for S.W.O.R.D. we can potentially receive some intel. Even though she seems deeply immersed in her character. And,” He waved a file in his hand. “I know who Ellie Hart is. You two might want to hear this.”
Part 2! I will admit I had slight trouble writing this since it was still fairly restricted by Wandavision because it’s necessary to set up the story still. Well, as always, I hope you all enjoyed! And let me know your thoughts, remember they are always welcome! :)
