PWHL 2024-2025 Primer

It's that time of year again folks. PWHL starts on November 30th.

The sections of this primer are: What is the PWHL, Where can I watch, Rules/League Structure, Official league pages, journalists to follow, and an introduction to each team (what they did last year, who's on the team, notable players, you should root for them if you..)

What is the PWHL?

The Professional Women's Hockey League was created in 2023 and launched in January 2024. It is currently the sole professional women's hockey league in North America.

Heading into the 2024-2025 season, the PWHL has six teams: The Toronto Sceptres, Boston Fleet, Minnesota Frost, New York Sires, Montréal Victoire, and Ottawa Charge. Each team plays 30 regular season games per team. You can find the full season schedule here.

Where can I watch?

Disclaimer; We don't have an official 100% confirmation on the American and non-North American ones yet, just reports from journalists who I do deem trustworthy. I will edit any changes and highlight them in bold if necessary.

On Television/Streaming

Canadian fans will have games on TSN and its affiliates (such as TSN+) primarily, with select games on CBC and Prime video.

French broadcasts of Montreal games can be found on RDS (18), Radio-Canada (6) on ICI TÉLÉ and ICI TOU.TV

Full streaming/television schedule for Canada

All fans not in Canada are available to stream on the PWHL Youtube regardless of location (so if you're "in market" there's no black outs like there is NHL games)

UPDATE: SOME games are now on Twitch instead of YouTube for non Canadian viewers, which can be accessed on the PWHL.com

Last year regional games were held on: Bally Sports North in Minnesota, NESN/NESN+ in Boston, MSG/MSG+ in New York, Sportnet Pittsburgh has carried select games. Not 100% confirmed this will be the case last year. Even if your regional sports network carries it, however, you should be able to access it on Youtube in America

In Person

Toronto and New York (sort of) have new locations this year

Toronto Scepters play at Coca-Cola Coliseum

Ottawa Charge play at TD Place

Montréal Victoire play at Place Bell

Boston Fleet play at Tsongas Center (Lowell, MA)

Minnesota Frost play at Xcel Energy Center

New York Sirens will play at Prudential Center (Newark, NJ)

There are also many neutral site games this year including Detroit, Quebec City, Raleigh, Vancouver, Denver, Buffalo, St. Louis, and Seattle that you can read about here

What are the rules? The League Structures?

Who makes the playoffs and what do they look like?

Please keep in mind that with such a young league, it's possible this will be tinkered with.

Each game is worth three points: 3 for a regulation win, 2 for an overtime win, and 1 for an overtime loss

Last year, the PWHL had 4 of the 6 teams make the playoffs. The number one seed got to choose their opponent between the third and fourth seed.

All series were best of five series, the two semi finals and then the finals.

Rules

If you are an NHL fan looking to jump in, here are the differences in the PWHL. The rulebook is also here.

Bodychecking is allowed in the PWHL, so long as it is done in an attempt to play the puck or gain possession. While women's hockey has always been physical, bodychecking at this level is fairly new, the SDHL in Sweden started to allow it just in 2021 and then the PWHL last year, so refs and players are adjusting in how they're going to draw the line between legal and illegal. This is also not the case in international competition, so it is a little different than the olympics or worlds if you are used to watching those.

The PWHL has a "jailbreak rule" which means that if you are shorthanded and score, the penalty ends.

In shootouts, a player can go as many times as they'd like.

New this year is the "No Escape" rule where players of a penalized team are required to stay on the ice to start the penalty kill.

Coaches can challenge delay of game puck over glass penalties.

Hits to the head, headbutting, and grabbing an opponents helmet strap, throat protector, or hair is an automatic major penalty and game misconduct.

What are the official social media pages? Who are good people to follow?

Who are the Boston Fleet?

The Boston Fleet were last years runner up in the league.

Their roster can be viewed here, with updates to be expected in the next few days as training camp cuts and contract being signed, the waiver period starting for teams to sign players that got cut from other teams training camps, and final rosters are made.

Notable players: Hilary Knight (captain), Aerin Frankel (Star goalie), Alina Müller (Swiss hockey star), Hannah Bilka (first round pick this last draft.)

You should root for this team if: You like defense-first hockey, strong New England college hockey connections, rooting for the youngest ice hockey player to win an olympic medal (Alina Müller), a player who got a custom outfit for pride night (Jamie Lee Rattray), Jewish hockey icons (Aerin Fankel), and players who are also podcasters and make a lot of tiktoks (Lexi Adzija and Taylor Girard)

Who are the Montréal Victoire?

The Montréal Victoire finished second in the standings last year, where

Live roster viewable here with expected updates the next few days

Notable players: Marie Philip-Poulin, Laura Stacey, Erin Ambrose, Ann-Renée Desbiens (all four are long time Team Canada legends), Lina Ljungblom (young Swedish superstar), Mikyla Grant Mentis and Kennedy Marchmand (both former PHF MVPs)

You should root for this team if: You love two way defensive minded centers, rooting for the league favorite, star players who are married to each other (Poulin and Stacey), short defenders (5'1 Amanda Boulier and 5'2 Cayla Barnes), post game victory dances, I dont even know how to describe this but heres grant mentis and Lásková watching golf i have to put it here

Who are the Toronto Sceptres?

The Sceptres were the first place team in the PWHL last year.

Roster here, once again will change this week

Notable players: Natalie Spooner (league MVP and long time team Canada player), Sarah Nurse (Olympic record holder for points and top scorer), Julia Gosling (first round pick), CJ Jackson (backup goaltender, social media darling, and LGBT activist), Renata Fast (top defender for both PWHL and Team Canada)

You should root for this team if you: love all the Team Canada players who grew up outside Quebec and also the coaches (all but three players are Canadian and many have played internationally for Canada, the coaching/management also largely from team canada and shares stylistic similarities), are interested in Nursey Nights (Sarah Nurse's collaboration with Black Girl Hockey Club during Toronto Sceptres games!), want to root for the other league favorites, love noted pancake enthusiasts (Kali Flanagan), or if you're more on the savory side, love a hot dog enthusiast (CJ)

Who are the Ottawa Charge?

The Ottawa Charge finished fifth in the league last season

Roster here with updates to come

Notable players: Brianne Jenner (team Canada and captain of Ottawa), Emily Clark (top scorer), Kateřina Mrázová (top scorer and Czech national team icon), Danielle Serdachny (second overall pick), Ronja Savolainen (Finnish national team mainstay and SDHL icon)

Who are the Minnesota Frost?

The Minnesota Frost are your inaugural PWHL champions!

Here is a live, updating roster

Notable players: Kendall Coyne (Captain, Team USA), Taylor Heise (last years #1 overall pick and one of the leagues scorer), Grace Zumwinkle (also a top scorer), Nicole Hensley (star goalie and also Team USA starting goaltender typically), Michela Cava (extensive experience as top player in PHF, SDHL, and Russia.)

You should root for this team if you: Have a lot of midwest pride and like teams in the WCHA, value speed when watching hockey, like players with unconventional paths to stardom (Hensley, who played at Lindenwood in college and made team USA only after college finished), want to root for the ultimate playoff sicko (Michela Cava, who has 4 championships across four leagues, two finals MVPs, and is over a point per game combining all playoffs), like franchise cornerstones who are besties and call each other 'the dog to their cat" and vice versa (Heise and Zumwinkle)

Who are the New York Sirens?

The New York Sirens finished last in the PWHL last year

Roster with updates to come

Notable players: Abby Roque, Alex Carpenter (both team usa and PWHL top scorers), Corinne Schroeder (had the best goaltending season in PHF history in 2023 and followed it up by having one of the best PWHL seasons despite a tough workload), Sarah Fillier (first overall pick this year, team Canada star), Maja Nylén Persson (round two pick, SDHL best defender of the year last year, team Sweden's #1 defender), Noora Tulus (finnish national team star and one of the best SDHL players of all time.)

You should root for this team if you: want to see a team really build itself up from the ground floor, as theres a lot of roster turnover this year and a new coaching staff, with a lot of exciting draftees. like a team that has a little more physicality/grit. want to maximize the number of crossovers with other professional sports teams possible, like the nickname pizza rats. Want to enjoy some of the best mic'd up content (Roque)

Media N Basketball Part 1

Synopsis: The WNBA’s new Social Media Manager, Amara, heads to Seattle to help improve the Seattle Storms media pages. She has had a big crush on Gabby Williams but avoids her due to rumors that Gabby is dating Marine Johannes.

Please note: This takes place during the 2025 season and this is my first fic in yearsss. Forgive me if I am a bit rusty.

Thursday July 11, 2025

Third P.O.V

It’s almost the halfway point of the 2025 WNBA season and Amara couldn’t be more excited. She has officially been at the W for 9 months and has been having the time of her life. Still getting the hang of things, but overall she loves her coworkers and just the overall environment. Witnessing the 2025 draft and seeing all the college stars getting drafted and to just know that she was really a part of the big moment will always be a core memory for her.

Being based in NYC meant that she helped the Liberty, Sun, and Mystics a lot with their social media pages because she was so close. Providing a new and fresh outlook on their pages, the team's pages have grown exponentially. The Liberty has grown to 1.2 million on Tiktok and 2 Million on Instagram. The Sun to  600K on Tiktok and 400K on Instagram. The Mystics to 724K on Tiktok and 527K on Instagram. Teams immediately took notice of the newfound fanbases and the rest enlisted to have Amara flown out to help their teams.

Amara’s first stop would be Seattle Storm with her favorite (and closest) coworker Destiny. Despite having Jewell, Nneka and Nika, the Storm could not seem to grow their fan bases on social media. Amara couldn’t help but feel nervous as her personal celebrity crush was also on the Seattle Storm this season.

Amara’s P.O.V 

“Gworllll are you excited to go to Seattle?!?” Destiny nudged Amara’s shoulder while they were settling on the plane to take off. “Your favorite girl is going to be there.”

“Pleaseeee stop. This is work, we need to stay professional.” I tried to keep my resolve but I couldn’t help to smile when thinking about my little crush. “Plus I heard that she is dating Marine Johannes so that dream is dead anyways.” Maybe if I said it enough then my little crush would fade away. ‘But she looked soo fine during the 2024 Olympics,’ I thought to myself.  

“Mmchttt” Destiny rolled her eyes and rolled over to close her eyes. I was tired too and we had a long flight ahead of us, so I might as well get some rest. 

Friday July 12, 2025

Destiny and I are headed to the Storm’s new practice facility, and my anxiety is through the roof. Not very demure nor mindful of me huh? I love working for the W but it’s still very nerve wracking having to meet new people and new teams. Especially women as tall and beautiful as them. I’m not short but I’m not exactly tall either, standing at a cool 5’6. I was so into my thoughts I didn’t even realize that destiny was talking to me until she started snapping in my face. 

“Yoooooo is there anyone there? Bitch are you on autopilot?!” Destiny continuously snapping in my face. I mush her with my free hand. “Don’t snap at me! Anywhore what were you saying?” I asked. “What type of content are we starting with? Since we are almost there, I want to prepare,” she replied. Looking at the GPS, I realize that she is absolutely right. 2 minutes away. What if I crash this car right now? I'm kidding, I'm kidding (sort of, not really). I’m thinking what would be the best video to start showcasing their personalities. “I think we should do the rapid fire questions for each of the players. We should probably feel them out and kind of gauge what they are comfortable with answering and they aren’t,” I stated after a few beats. “ I call dibs on Nneka, Nika, Victoria, Mercedes, Joyner and Sami.” I wanted to make sure that I didn’t really have to interact with Gabby, my stalkerish ass could just admire her from a distance. Destiny looked at me bewildered as we pulled in front of the facility. “You evil bitch, I can’t believe you called dibs,” she laughed as we got out of the car. 

The walk from the car ride to the main practice gym was short but felt like it took forever.

We had unloaded our equipment and were waiting outside the gym for the General managers and coaches. We, mainly I, didn’t want to just bust in on their practice while Destiny wanted to do exactly that. Once we introduced ourselves to the GMs and coaches, we told them our game plan for content. I took a deep breath, as the doors to the gym opened. Here goes nothing…..

To be continued….

Sooo what did we think? I know I’m rusty so don’t eat me up toooooooo bad. I was trying to make it short but I figured it would be better as a multi-part fic. Please let me know what y’all think! Since there was nothing not even hcs on Gabby I figured I would start some of my own.

If y’all like my writing style, I would like to open myself up to WNBA requests along with other womens sports.

Welp see ya soon bookies!

[yinwaryuri]

Seeing a lot of upset posts about how the show ended with Boston and feeling like something really went over a few heads. Do I also believe Boston deserved better? Yes. But let's be realistic in the way Jojo and Ninew approached this.

Boston and his promiscuity have been the target of harsh judgements from episode one. And the writers have stated that he has a moral code, it's just very different from others. I was never expecting him to state it outright, that it would just be a thing worth paragraphs of speculative meta, but he does!

Boston stated his definition of boyfriend. If he wants to be exclusive, that's for all the emotional bonding that he desires with someone special, but does not deny him the ability to fulfill his physical desires with whomever he wishes. That's not just polyamory, it's a very specific kind!!! And it's entirely different from the traditional sort of relationship society has accepted. The thing is, he wouldn't have discovered that possibility without knowing Nick.

Boston did genuinely fall for Nick. But how could he have handled that properly when he has no experience being loved and has never learned how to love someone back? Moreover, how could he come to the conclusion that he likes being exclusive in one way but not another without absolutely fumbling the bag with someone who's on a different page? It's not exactly Nick's fault that he prefers physical affection to be exclusive as well, that's just how he is. There couldn't have been any discussion about this, it was a discovery in the making.

The truth is Boston would still have a hard time finding happiness in Thailand due to the political climate, especially with his father being a politician. He's gay and that alone makes achieving his dreams more difficult, but being as promiscuous as he is means even a majority of the queer community will shut him out. He's better off moving to the states where at least he has rights and better acceptance for who he is. And that's what happened.

Because having a sexual or romantic appetite outside of monogamy is still looked down on. I still see it in the BL fandom. I see it just in general. 3 Will Be Free is so often cited as a must-watch, but how many people stick to their comfort branded pairings?* How many people have made or heard jokes about the "Seattle polycule"? How many romantic aces and allosexual aros get othered and excluded and judged for their identity?

Jojo said there was no intended message, but that doesn't mean there isn't one to be found. Boston's arc is a prime example of how slutty queers get treated even by their own peers, even by people who care about them most. It's a cry from the cold and lonely dark that if we think these people deserve better, we need to change existing paradigms and find how we can give them that!

Nick wasn't prepared to do that because he is still hurting, and that's also okay. Not everyone has to change themselves to make the puzzle pieces fit. Boston and Nick's story centers around that so much. Nick being jealous and trying to copy Top, Boston trying to be what he thinks a boyfriend is - they only hurt each other because the parts that don't fit are digging in.

I hope we get a second season, but if not friends, remember Boston. He represents such a particular demographic that gets hated on and ignored constantly, and they deserve a chance. They're not easy, but that doesn't mean they're not worth it. Remember Nick too. We all have a Nick in some manner - someone that made us want to try, but no matter how much we cared for each other it just wasn't going to work. Family, friends, partners, whoever.

Instead of being outraged with the show, be outraged with society. Do something about it. Be kinder. Community is important, now more than ever. I cannot possibly overstate how much we need community, especially among minorities.

*this isn't meant to be judgmental toward fans who prefer branded pairings or aren't interested in that particular show. I know watching anything requires time and energy and scratching a certain itch at the right moment. It is, however, a concern that so many fans complained about numerous aspects of OF to the point where the creators went to the effort of explaining themselves on a weekly basis and editing certain parts to avoid backlash. I mentioned 3 Will Be Free because it's another example of Jojo's work. Many BL fans have heard of it, but only a small portion seem to have watched, and that can be an indicator of certain biases. This is not to imply anyone who hasn't seen it has said biases and is only intended to encourage reflection if needed.

[thekimspoblog]

Spent all day watching the Sopranos. And don't get me wrong it's great and all.... but I'd be way more into it if it was gender swapped with Rhea Seehorn, Victoria Pedretti, and Evan Rachael Woods in the lead roles.

ooh i’ve never seen that, what’s it about?

In many ways it was the prototype for Breaking Bad. Often gets credited as "the first PRESTIGE drama". Basically we follow the daily life of Tony Soprano, an Italian mob boss. Managing business, providing for a family that takes issue with how he makes his money, and talking to his therapist. It's a good show, and it says a lot about toxic masculinity; it's not like it's ANTIFEMINIST by any means. But I still wish there was more mobster movies/shows centered around female-lead crime. That's what I want for Slippin Kimmy: Kim's out there cracking skulls, changing the world for better or worse. And Jimmy can just stay in the kitchen for a change.

woahh wait that’s so cool??

Have you seen "Weeds" either? That was a female lead crime drama. People sort of forget that show even happened. And even so, the main character Nancy was mostly dealing with male antagonists.

YES I LOVE WEEDS

My mom was really into Weeds. Has pictures of Nancy and Kim all over her cubicle.

In a lot of my headcanons, Jimmy got really into traditional Irish cooking while in prison. And he's still "in the game" for the most part in my fanfics, but he does try to keep his head down. Just be a good husband and father.

yess i can totally see that

Kim mostly works with a Napoli based feminist crime syndicate, trying to distribute black market birth control to the US. But having a name like McGill and a good lamb recipe definitely helps with the street cred in some situations, when dealing with more traditional organizations.

Their oldest, Iris was made for this life. Whether or not Jimmy exactly approves of it, it's an unspoken agreement between mother and daughter that Iris will take over the family business. The younger one, Fille, is a little less morally flexible.

oooh? that’s really cool

*black market birth control

ooh okay

is there a reason why fille isn’t on the same page morally as them?

Even the old fashioned mobsters that don't respect Kim as a woman, she can claim a connection to the Irish mob, tenuous as that connection may be.

fair enough

It's a lot of reasons, but I don't think any of them are necessarily genetic. In every meaningful sense, Iris and Fille are "made from the same stuff". Even if you rolled a different number, you used the same dice. But Iris was planned, after 12 full years of premeditation. Fille was an 11th hour surprise. A victory lap. So mostly by birth order, she just didn't inherit the same burdensome legacy. Iris got so much heaped on them - Kim's mommy issues, Jimmy's daddy issues, the downfall of multiple business empires, the soul of a sad little boy named Howard who never broke free of the iron will of one parental figure and is now stuck repeating the grade level. When Fille came along, she didn't get quite the same level of attention, but the silver lining is there was just nothing left to heap on. Free as the open ocean.

i love how thought out this all is, it’s a really cool storyline

By the time Iris grows up, it's basically Mad Max out there. The US government has devolved into random warring corpocratic police states, the economy is a mish-mash of cryptocurrency and bartering water. Most infrastructure has been privatized so the internet is generally worse. Nobody's dropped a nuke YET, but global warming is a bitch. If you like filming deserts, your job got a hell of a lot easier; even Seattle's been facing droughts. But a cockroach always survives. A predator always survives.

I had this skit I was trying to write, just of Iris and Fille trying to repair the coolant in the filtration system. But I couldn't come up with an actual PLOT even for a short story. Maybe it would be better as fan art: the point is they're in some abandoned warehouse and have taped space blankets all over the walls just to keep in the cold.

I'd also say Fille probably is a little coddled. She might be correct in her criticisms of Mommy Dearest's little plan to save humanity from itself, but at the end of the day having a conscience is a luxury, and she's never faced a situation where she had to steal to feed herself, because she's always had someone else stealing for her.

Iris is spoiled, but not coddled. They might see the world as their playground, but that comes with an implication of stewardship; it's not all free reign. Being raised with absolute confidence that they can do anything they want means they grew up having to think about what should be done with that power.

"Serious Korn fans and some weirdo in the background"

Scott Putesky at the Big Day Out festival, Sydney, 1999.

Scott's account of his Australia trip can be read below, taken from the Scorpion Rising newsletter (copy from archived page of spookykids.com/threetongate):

The Thunder Down Under

In early January my friend Leah Kennedy of John Carr Modeling/Seattle called me with very exciting news. She had just won a trip to Australia for the Big Day Out festival concert courtesy of alternative radio station KNDD 107.7 FM 'The End'. Leah and I met at The Fenix [sic] in August '98 while I was on tour with Jack Off Jill. Since then she and I have become close friends and in her infinite sweetness asked me to join her on the trip. Since I've never been to Australia nor had I ever seen my own band play... I jumped at the chance. Before we left, I had a great time appearing on The Ends morning show with Andy Savage (Andy is one of the few industry people who are gracious enough to refrain from constantly referring to me as 'Daisy Berkowitz'...).

Leah and I stayed in beautiful Darling Harbor in Sydney and had a wonderful time. At the Big Day Out show we saw just a few of the 30 plus bands/perfomers. The head liners were Korn (a great set that got everybody on their feet and rocking...), Hole (Courtney Love does NOT need to play topless...) And of course, my own former band... Marilyn Manson. Watching the Manson set was a strange and surreal experience. I felt like I was watching and listening to a video of a dream... I recognized everything but I felt detached. I actually thought it was a pretty good show... especially John 5's very accurate interpretation of my original guitar parts... thanks John! What's funny is watching Mr. Marilyn having the same old stage problems and trying to solve them with his middle finger... anyway... ■

WTA: McMichaels Clan - Baby?

Being a CFO of a large sports company was not something you often saw women in charge of. Granted McKenzie McMichaels was anything but your typical woman, given her keen mind, and quick wit for business. She left the talent, recruitment, and direction to her husband the CEO, but one thing she did know was contracts, money, and influence. She was a smart cookie and had done a lot in the way of making Prides Reign a success in not only the sports arena, but the business side as well. She had a crack marketing team, some of the best real estate agents on retainer, and was working hand in hand with the Seattle government's city beautification project. She knew her privilege as a powerful white woman and fought to retain the cultural neighborhood that surrounded the city and worked with in the community to provide improvements that benefited the residents as well as the city itself. Seattle was a beautiful city but that was due to the diversity of its people. And given the uphill fight it had been for her, she couldn’t even fathom what struggles people of color who came before her faced.

Today was one of those days, she had to face the city council. There had been a project struggling to get off the ground, and Shawni had been the one to bring it to light. The local school was in DIRE need of revamping, and refurbishment. Due to low test scores their funds where pitiful at best. But how exactly are students supposed to get their grades up, if the room is ice cold, and they have little in the way of resources and support. Standing outside the briefing room with Shawni, Kenzie, the lawyers as well as the community project leaders where all chatting away, finalizing their main points, and adjusting the outline of the presentation, just to make sure any new information that could levy their cause was included. As they spoke, Kenzie felt unseasonably warm. It was still very much winter in Seattle, and even with best heating system, the sheer size of City Hall still held a chill. Taking a small folder, she started to fan her face, feeling her cheeks a bit flushed. Was she coming down with something?? She rarely got ill but maybe it was her time.

Shawni looked over and cocked an eyebrow. “Kenz you ok? Looking a little glassy eyed…Ya nervous?”

She gently elbowed her side and smirked. Kenzie was never nervous, ever.

“Well this IS important to all of us, but no not nervous. But gosh is it warm in here.” She shook her head a bit, the warm feeling staying with her. She looked up as the doors opened, the council guard motioning them inside. She grabbed her brief case and walked through the double doors. She moved to the podium and set her brief case on the small table provided. The Council had just ended a previous proposal for the same area, but it was more a gentrification of the spot, not actually for the community. Opening her brief case she felt an odd wave come over her, she shook her head lightly, and pulled the folder out, opening the pages. “Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council, thank you for speaking with us today…” Where was that damned whining sound coming from? She shook her head lightly as if to clear the ringing from her ears. She took another breath. “We….” She blinked a moment, her eyes fluttering. Shawni’s skin prickled a moment, and she stood. “Kenz…?”

That was the last thing she heard, she turned to tell Shawni she was fine and the world tilted into oblivion. The blackness swallowing her up, and all thought fading.

In the Council Hall all heck broke loose, as the gorgeous woman crumbled. Shawni was fast as ever, catching her sister-in-law. She as warm, cheeks flushed, and completely dead weight. “Someone call an ambulance!” She called out firmly, gently easing Kenzie into a laying position on her side, her head supported. Soon enough emt’s rushed in to look her over, and got her onto a stretcher. After a few check overs of her vials, she was put in the back. Shawni called the one person she knew to. Her brother, within a few seconds his deep voice crawled over the line. “Sup Kid?” His tone was jovial, and a bit teasing. “Tanner…” The second he heard her voice, he got very, very still. "Where is she?”

“Seattle Medical, ambulan-“ She blinked as the line went dead. Oh this was bad. This was very very bad.

Solana froze as she felt the air around her, mid rep, she looked around. “Mom” with in seconds she slipped into the umbra. In France, her twin was painting when the room fell into shadows, unseen from her class mates, her eyes widened. She stood swiftly. “Excusez-moi, je dois utiliser les toilettes.” With that she slipped from her classroom and into the umbra.

In less than fifteen minutes the clan McMichaels was descending on a hospital. The king made landfall first, striding into the waiting room. The air around him rippled with rage, and a bit of fear. Walking to the desk he spoke quietly, but with firmness. “Excuse me, my wife…”

“Mr.McMichaels, yes sir, we were expecting you. Please come with me?” She stood and guided him to an adjoining room. Inside were chairs, and a few drinks, water etc. “Please have a seat, the doctor will be in shortly.” Tanner bristled, eyeing the woman. “I. would. Like. To. See. My. Wife.” He tried to be as polite as he could, but he could smell her faintly, it was hard with the mix of chemicals and other hospital odors. Irene had been a nurse for over thirty years, she had seen thousands come through those doors. Eyeing the large man, she took a firm but gentle tone. “Mr. McMichaels, as soon as I can, I will personally walk you down to her room. She is currently doing testing, and I can’t let you in there. Now please. Have a seat, if anything changes, I will be right outside ok?” The tone reminded Tanner of his mother, when she gently put him in his place.

“I…Yes Ma’am” He grumbled, sliding into a chair. He felt a gentle hand on his shoulder, and looked up seeing Irene smile. “She is a tough one Sir, I know them when I see them. She will be right as rain.” A gentle pat and she moved out the door. Tanner’s eyes fixated on the clock, his mind running rampant with all sorts of possibilities. Was it an attack? Had someone poisoned her? Or worse HEXED her?? Was this some how his fault? He pushed from the chair starting to pace. With in Jayden was also snarling. Darkness or not, both sides of him adored his queen, and she was in danger. Finally the door opened, and a very tired looking man slipped inside. Wearing a white coat, scrubs, the name. Dr. Maldives embroidered. He hadn’t looked up yet. “Mr. McMichaels I am sur-“ He paused as he took in the massive man before him. Towering over him was this mountain of a person, who looked both pleading and murderous at the same time. He coughed. “….sure you want to know about your wife. I am happy to say she is stable, and this whole thing should most likely sort itself out in about….” He looked over the chart. “Seven and half months…give or take…” Tanner watched him and then blinked in confusion. “Did…she break a bone? Is it something internal? Is she sick?” His mind was so lost on the doctors information. How had this happened??? How had this slipped past him???? Surely he would have smelt the sickness on her. The doctor arched a brow. “Well yes, it is rather internal. I mean…most babies are unless you know something I don’t….” Tanner froze, going almost paper white. “Baby…..?”

The Blood Brothers Announce New Vinyl Pressing

The Blood Brothers are celebrating the twentieth anniversary of Burn, Piano Island, Burn with a special re-issue on October 6th. Seattle post-hardcore provocateurs The Blood Brothers are commemorating the 20thanniversary of their seminal album Burn, Piano Island, Burn with a special re-issue out on October 6th. The 20th Anniversary Limited Collector’s Edition package includes the album on exclusive colored vinyl, “Ambulance vs. Ambulance” 7 inch, and expanded 32-page booklet with new liner notes and photos. The Epitaph webstore is offering a yellow, black and pink color-in-color variant (800 pressed), while BrooklynVegan will carry a yellow & pink half and half version (500 pressed). At official retailers, you can find yellow with pink & black splatter (2,600 worldwide). Reflecting on the occasion, vocalist Jordan Blilie muses: “Listening to these songs twenty years later, I hear the sound of youth; of the world opening up. It's unbridled, it's overwhelming, and it's relentless. None of it should've worked, and honestly, some of it doesn't. But I'm proud of it for those exact reasons. That we stood there on the precipice, gazing into the unknown, and dove face first.” Produced by Ross Robinson (The Cure, At The Drive In, Glassjaw) Burn, Piano Island, Burn is “a record that both sharpens and accentuates the group’s sassy and discordant take on visceral post-hardcore" according to BrooklynVegan. Clocking in at just under an hour, Punk News claimed, “This album has such raw intensity, such passionate vocals, such spastic melodies that...well you won't be able to stop yourself from jumping up and dancing around screaming like an idiot along with the words.” From 1997 to 2007, The Blood Brothers’ “molotov mixture of suburb surrealism and sonic extremity” (Alternative Press) rocked and riveted critics and fans around the world. Formed in the suburbs of Seattle, the dueling singers Johnny Whitney and Jordan Bliliealong with Cody Votolato (guitar), Morgan Henderson (bass) and Mark Gajadhar(drums) crafted a unique style of convulsive, groundbreaking hardcore that was quickly embraced by critics and fans of punk, hardcore and indie rock. Over their ten years in existence the quintet released five critically acclaimed studio albums (four of which Epitaph has re-issued), including Burn, Piano Island, Burn, Crimes, and Young Machetes. Having moved on to other projects as diverse as Jaguar Love, Past Lives, Fleet Foxes and Head Wound City, The Blood Brothers called it quits at their creative peak, leaving behind a catalog the helped define a genre and continues to influence bands around the world. --- Please consider becoming a member so we can keep bringing you stories like this one. ◎ https://chorus.fm/news/the-blood-brothers-announce-new-vinyl-pressing/

The Next Steps

Summary:

A sequel to ‘Time for Class’ continuing the story of Gene Cousineau and my OC.

The rest of the story, which is in progress, can be found here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/15801549/chapters/36774993

Chapter 1

Alyona had Gene’s hand as they stepped out of their limo at the premier of their film, Naughty Teacher . They reached their first reporter within seconds.

“Gene and Alyona, there is a lot of buzz for your movie, what do you think is drawing crowds to it?” the reporter asked.

Alyona looked to Gene for a cue on who should answer which he replied with a nod for her to speak. “Forbidden love is always an exciting storyline,” she began, “But with this one, Gene and my story is very similar making it even more of a must see for our fans. Though most are his,” she looked to him wearing a warm smile.

The reporter continued, playing off of her answer, “So, you two also began as a forbidden love?”

Gene spoke, “We did, actually,” he glanced at Alyona before continuing, “She started in my class and within two weeks, we were sneaking around with each other. And now, if she’ll have me, I would like her to be my fiance,” he let the words linger in the air while she took them in.

Alyona narrowed her face, “Did you just propose to me in an interview?” she decided to make him work for it and added, “Is this a publicity stunt?”

Gene shook his head, the other cameras moving in their direction along with the fans, everyone waiting to see what would happen. “No, my dear, this is genuine,” he replied, “I was planning to ask you after the film,” he pulled out the ring, “But, I can’t wait another moment. So, what do you say?”

Alyona couldn’t stop a smile from taking over her lips as she nodded, “You’re lucky I love you so much,” she continued to tease while Gene placed the ring on her finger.

“Shall we go into the theater?” he offered his elbow while she was looking at the diamond on her finger.

His question shook her from her thoughts and she took his arm, “I would love to, husband-to-be,” her beaming smile impossible to hide.

Gene guided her past the rest of the press straight into the cinema where they were guided to their seats, next to the director and other actors from the film.

“I’m glad you didn’t make me get down on one knee,” Gene joked, leaning toward her and whispering in her ear, “You are insatiable and I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get back up.”

Alyona laughed, “I’m sure you would have managed just fine, but it was already a scene without me demanding you being on one knee,” she gave him a smile, “Plus, who knows what the story headline would be if I’d done that.”

Gene laughed audibly, “Diva actress forces much older actor boyfriend to propose to her properly. Crowd laughed when she had to pull him up from the position.”

Gene and Alyona arrived in Seattle to film their movie a week early to go over their scripts and do some sight seeing.

“Are you going to take me to the Space Needle if I get these lines right?” she asked, her voice pleading.

Gene gave a small smile before he answered, “I think that can be arranged,” he began as he flipped through the pages, “How do you feel about the romantic scenes?”

She moved the area of the script he was referring to and read through the details before shrugging. “I don’t have a problem with it. The only strange thing will be that it’s kind of real since we’re an actual couple, but I’m happy to put my hands all over you anytime,” she added, a playful wink joining her words.

He reached for her hand, “I had a feeling that would be your response. I don’t usually film anything past a suggestion of sex, but I can handle it this time,” he gave her his conditions, “Alright, if we can get the first act down then we can go tour the city, deal?”

Alyona regretfully nodded as the two continued reading through their scenes, some of them putting them in the mood to do something that didn’t require them to leave their room.

"Y/N what are you doing here?" Miranda was on the verge of having a fit as I pulled on my white coat, getting ready to attend to my patients

"I'm here to do my job Bailey" downing the rest of your tea you dumoed the empty cup into the bin

"You are nine months pregnant as of today, you should be on our L&D ward bouncing on a yoga ball to go into labour not attending to sick patients" she stood in the doorway blocking you from leaving the room

She was right, you're baby girl was supposed to be due today but she has other plans as she made no attempt to leave my uterus. The most she did was kick to let you know that she was alright in there. You were just about to give Bailey a bullshit excuse as to why you needed to be at work today when Alex showed up

"Chief Bailey you paged me?" his eyes flickered between you both before landing on you as you rolled your eyes, of course she paged him

"Karev you're ex wife needs to be taken to labour and delivery"

"Bailey I'm fine, she's fine, besides I'm just here to follow up on my patients"

"Mhmm that's what you said yesterday and you ended up doing a four hour surgery when you were supposed to be home" you felt a harsh kick which made you groan at the discomfort but you quickly covered it up with a cough

There was no way you were going to lay in bed until the princess decides that she wants to make her debute into the world. Yesterday Carina had checked you over and said that she was healthy and your vitals were good, she even told you that if you don't go into labour naturally she'd have to enduse you

Alex noticed the brief change in your demeanor as you covered up what he assumed was the beginning of your contractions with a cough. You both hadn't been on the best of terms since he returned to Seattle Grace but he alawys made sure that you and his daughter were alright by checking up on you and being present at the last two check ups

At first you couldn't bare to be in the same room as him but with each passing day of him randomly checking up on you and making sure that you weren't over working yourself made you realize just how much you missed having him around

"I'll do the follow up with her, if she starts getting contractions I'll notify you and hand her cases over to another attending" Bailey couldn't believe the two soon to be parents, she thought that Alex would've backed her up on this considering that his child could be born at any given second

"You know what, fine but if anything ha-"

"Oofff" inhaling you held onto your stomach as you felt your first contraction, Alex brushed past Miranda and planted himself at your side

"You alright?" the pain subsided and you leaned into his chest to steady yourself and he held onto your hip

"Yeah just a contraction" Bailey was about to argue with you but you held your hand up

"They've just begun Bailey, she's not going to slip out of me unto the hospital floor. I can still manage to see my patients" throwing her hands up she left you both, mumbling something about you being too stubborn for your own good

"You really should take it easy" his chest rumbled as he spoke into your ear, goosebumps covered your arms as his breath fanned against the shell of your ear, Alex still had that effect on you

"C'mon let's go" pocketing your stethescope you waddled into the hallway and took up a tablet from the nurses station before heading to the general surgery department

Your first stop was to check on the bowel reconstruction patient that you had operated on yesterday. Stepping onto the elevator you gripped onto the rail as another contraction took place, holding your breath you hit the floor number and the doors slid shut

Wordlessly Alex rubbed the small of your back trying to help you through the pain as the elevator dropped you on you floor. The door slid open and you slowly walked to the patient's room. This contraction was more painful and lated longer than the previous one but you pushed through it

"Good morning Mr Hayward" greeting the eldery man and his wife you stood at the foot of his bed as Helm and Schmit were changing his dressings

The two interns exchanged plesantries with both attendings before reading you his chart and his vitals as well as explaining the procedure that was done during surgery. When Helm was finished she turned to face you, pleased with her presentation of the case

"Everything looks fine sir but we still need to keep you here for a few more days just in case any post opereration complications do arise" hissing you rubbed your protruding belly, Alex shot you a knowing look

You needed to be admitted

"Doc everything alright, baby giving you some trouble there?" smiling you looked down at him

"Just contractions nothing to be concerned about" Helm and Schmit's eyes lit up at the news, baby Karev was on the way. You knew that word would be spread like a wildfire as soon as those two left the room

"When you both are finished attending to Mr Hayward I'd like for you to go down to the pit and help doctor Hunt with any incoming trauma" your contractions were getting closer and you wanted to scream

"But we're on your service today" Helm was confused at your orders

"Not anymore, I have a baby to deliver" there was a popping sound and a gush of amniotic fluid soaked your pants and leaked onto the floor. Alex rushed out the room and you handed her the tablet you were holding

"Nevermind" Alex came in with a wheelchair and you sat down, another contraction rocked you and you gripped onto the armrest

"Congratulations" the elderly couple bid you farewell as Alex wheeled you out the room. The staff stood by wishing you a safe delivery as you were rolled onto the elevator

"You should've listened to Bailey" looking up you noticed how tensed up he was. In Alex's mind he was freaking out, whenever you got a contraction it hurt him to see you in pain and he didn't know how to comfort you or if you even wanted him to be around you

"Alex look at me" the touch of your hand brought him our of his thoughts

"Breathe, we're doing this together" slightly relieved he leaned forward and kissed the back of your hand, holding your gaze while doing so

The sweet moment you both shared abruptly came to an end when the elevator jerked to a stop

Oh no

Update - Harry Styles

i’ve been deep inmy harry feels and this thought just wouldn’t leave me alone so i had to write it. im thinking about starting a taglist for harry, i think i’ll write more about him in the future. let me know if you’d be interested in the taglist!

word count: ~5.9k

masterlist

Sequel: The best present

Harry is not that into YouTube videos, has never really been, which is kind of ironic seeing the number of videos on the internet that is about him. The man himself who makes everyone talk online feels weird seeing someone talking on his screen, looking into his soul as if they were right there with him. But today he felt the sudden urge to be like his peers and get lost in random rambling videos from strangers, who felt the need to put themselves out there.

He has made a mean cup of tea for himself, made himself comfortable on his couch with his laptop balancing on his thighs and now is opening up his browser to unwind in an unusual way. As YouTube opens in front of his tired eyes, he stops when he tries to type in the keywords he is searching for. What is he looking for really? He thinks to himself trying to remember what he heard from his friends when they talked about funny or interesting videos. One thing is for sure, he is trying to avoid watching videos of himself in any content. He has had enough of him for the day, it’s time to focus on someone else, even if he doesn’t know the person.

He scrolls through several pages of many different keywords until he settles for a video where a girl talks about how her latest moving day went. Starting off Harry feels weird listening to her talk about such personal things as where her bed went in her room, how she packed all her stuff to fit them in the boxes, but soon enough this feeling settles and he starts to realize it’s kind of relaxing.

It doesn’t take too long for him to fall down a rabbit hole and by the time his tea empties out from his cup he is intensely watching a guy rant about his boss at Subway while doing a mukbang. The latter is a new discovery for Harry, he has never heard of it before, but he can see why some people find it satisfying.

The video ends, Harry checks the time and sees that it’s already after midnight and he hasn’t even realized how fast time flew by.

“Alright, just one more,” he mumbles to himself scrolling down the column of the recommended videos until his eyes stop at one particular upload at the very bottom.

July update for my Sammy, ready the title and an eye-catchingly beautiful girl is smiling from the thumbnail. He finds her breathtaking, the lack of makeup, the worn out hoodie she is wearing and the many various plants in the background makes it appear she is sitting in the middle of the forest.

Harry finds himself clicking on the video before he could even decide consciously to watch it. The screen loads and the girl appears in front of him, this time in a much larger size.

“Hi Sammy, welcome back to our channel,” she starts with an angelic little laugh as she pulls her shoulders up to her ears as if the camera is making her shy. She has no reason to be shy, Harry thinks to himself. His second thought is about Sammy, he is one lucky guy to know this angel and have her think about him. “It’s Y/N here, your one and only sister,” she adds.

Sister. The word brings Harry relief and he is surprised to feel this way, but he has no time to think anything of it because she starts talking again.

“Here is my July update, I’m sorry I’m a little late, but we got back from Oregon yesterday. Aunt Ella is sending you kisses and hugs, she missed you at the barbeque, or maybe it was just your helping hand at the grill,” she chuckles to herself, probably recalling the memory.

Harry has no idea who Aunt Ella is or where she lives in Oregon, but the way she talks about it makes him feel like he is part of the family a little.

Y/N carries on and starts talking about everything that has happened in July. Painting the shed at her parents’ home, buying a new armchair, one her cat absolutely adores and refuses to sleep anywhere else now, she went to the hairdresser to get a trim, but not too much. She tells about her plans for August, how she is thinking about going to the farmers’ market more often, and she has been playing with the idea of adopting another cat.

“I think Henry has been feeling a little lonely lately. He could use a buddy,” she tells the camera, her eyes moving to the side from where a weak but moody meow can be heard as an answer. “Yeah, I think he agrees,” she chuckles and Harry finds himself smiling at the screen.

At the end of the video she asks a few questions from Sammy, how he has been doing, if his wrist feels any better, even asks about a friend called Matthew. Harry wonders if she has ever gotten the answers to her questions and where Sammy saw this video. What is he doing that made her want to do an update on YouTube?

When the video ends Harry clicks on her profile faster than he would willingly admit to anyone and it’s like he opened the gate to paradise. Tens and maybe hundreds of videos are queuing on her page, monthly updates, birthday wishes, short story times about family gatherings, news and happenings in her life.

Harry gets lost in her tales. He watches video after video, noticing the smallest details about her, almost mentally taking notes about her updates, finding anything and everything she talks about so interesting as if he knew those people and places she mentions. He comes to realization that Sammy is her older brother who is serving somewhere in the military. Y/N is making the videos to update him about her life even if she knows most of them doesn’t get to him until weeks later, but it doesn’t seem to bother her. He also learns that Sammy sends them back lengthy emails once a month and always ends them with a joke they made up with his mates at the army. Y/N loves them even when they're not even funny, she never fails to mention that she smiled reading them.

Hours pass by and the rising Sun peeks inside the window pulling Harry back to his own reality, shocked that he just spent the whole night watching her videos and didn’t even realize how deep he has gotten in her life. Lucky for him he has nothing planned until the afternoon, so shutting his laptop he sets it aside and heads straight to bed, but lying between his silky sheets he catches himself staring out the window, wondering what Y/N might be doing right now. From what he collected she lives somewhere in Spokane and has family in Seattle and Portland, which puts her quite a few time zones behind him. He finds the thought of them going to bed at the same time despite the distance a little funny. He lies in bed for quite some time before he finally drifts off to sleep with a particular girl on his mind, who doesn’t even know he is thinking about her.

 “Do you think you can fall for someone you have never met?”

Harry’s question catches Mitch a little off-guard, but he is kind of used to his random bits of thoughts. Pouring some sugar into his coffee he follows the wondering singer to a free table in the corner.

“Isn’t it what all your fans feel?” he answers with a question, earning a surprised look from Harry. He hasn’t thought about this side, now the situation is kind of ironic, he supposes.

“Y’re right,” he nods stirring his coffee around in the small cup.

“Want to let me in on your thoughts?”

Harry feels a little shy to admit how he has watched all of her videos in the past few days, 207 to be exact and now he feels an oddly deep connection to this girl he has never even seen outside of a screen. Last night he dug up her Instagam profile, and even though she is not posting as frequently as she does on her channel, it was a refreshing change to see her in different settings. Chilling at a lake, having drinks with her friends, playing with her parents’ puppy, it amazed him that she has a whole life outside that small portion she lets him see in her videos.

Hesitantly, but he tells his friend about his latest hobby, if it’s not too weird to call it that, while his friend patiently listens and nods along his words while sipping on his morning coffee.

“D’you think I’m crazy?” Harry sighs leaning back in his seat, looking at his friend and colleague for validation that he hasn’t lost his mind entirely.

“Definitely not,” he chuckles shaking his head. “It’s like falling for that girl in school you know so much about but never really met.”

“Only that I’m stalkin’ this poor girl.”

“This is not stalking. We both know it’s far from that.” Harry nods with slight relief that his situation doesn’t seem as bad as he has been feeling lately. “Have you gotten in touch with her?”

“And what am I supposed to do? Comment on her video that I think her cat’s a cutie and I watched all her videos in three days ‘cuz I think she’s beautiful and I find her voice soothing?”

Mitch lets out a soft chuckle at the oddly specific answer he just gave and finds it amusing how interested his friend has grown about someone in such a short time.

“Maybe phrase it a little different.”

“So you do think I should reach out?”

“I don’t see why you shouldn’t. Use your personal YouTube, leave her a nice comment. Maybe she’ll reply.”

“And then what?”

“I don’t know, Harry,” he chuckles. “Just go with it and you’ll see. You are obviously interested in her, it’s better than just sit and watch her videos.”

Harry agrees. It wouldn’t hurt to try to reach out to her, possibly in a not too creepy way. Maybe just a sweet comment on one of her videos and if she replies… Well, he doesn’t know what comes after, but he’ll figure it out.

 Y/N updates regularly. Usually once a week and mostly it’s Sunday when a new video gets uploaded. This next Sunday Harry finds himself checking her page occasionally through the day to see if there’s a new update, but it seems like she is missing today. Right until he is driving home and gets a notification from the app.

Y/N has just uploaded a new video! It reads and Harry’s heart beats a tad bit faster. He thinks about pulling over to see it right away, but he tells himself that would be a bit too much, so he is forced to wait until he is in the comfort of his home.

Finally sitting on his couch he opens up his laptop and clicks on the video that has the title: September update.

Y/N sits in her usual spot, Henry in her arms as she is gently stroking his head with a warm smile on her face.

“Hi Sammy! Welcome back to our channel,” she greets him with her usual words and Harry loves how she calls the channel theirs. “This is my September update, even though not much has happened,” she breathes out, eyes wandering to the window besides her and Harry wonders what she sees from her window every day. Does she live in the city? Is it an apartment or a house with a backyard? Are there any trees or does her room have a terrible view, maybe just another house next to hers?

She starts her talk about the month, which she spent mostly with working, a little shopping and meeting her friends. She tells him about her planned trip to the local shelter to see possible new kittens to add to her household and Harry feels himself growing excited about it. He even thinks about what kind of cat he can see get along well with Henry even though he has never even met him.

“Anyway, mom and dad miss you, I miss you too. I loved your joke about ducks in your latest email,” she chuckles sweetly, bringing a smile to Harry’s face as well. “Mom is excited to see you at Christmas, our cousins will come to Portland as well. Maya can’t wait to play Jenga with you, she said she’s been practicing.”

The video soon ends as Y/N tells Sammy how much she loves him and eventually turns the camera off.

He straight away moves the cursor to the beginning of the video and as she starts talking again he scrolls down to the comment section that’s entirely empty. There are only two views on her video, usually a hundred is the max, but she doesn’t seem to care about the views, it’s more about the message.

He clicks to type a comment, but his hands stop above the keyboard as he tries to think of what to write. Mitch was right about taking a chance at reaching out, but what is he supposed to write exactly? Everything that comes to his mind sounds so creepy and scary, and he knows it’s weird that he formed such a deep connection to an unknown girl online. At last he starts typing.

“Hi Y/N! I’ve stumbled across your videos the other day. Love how you keep your brother updated, it’s such a nice gesture. I hope life treats you and Sammy well, you truly deserve it. Good luck with finding a buddy for Henry! Love, an admirer of yours, H.”

He reads it back several times, deleting then retyping it again until he decides to just go with it. A rush of adrenaline washes over his body when he sends the comment and it’s officially out there. Secretly he wishes she would reply right away, but moments pass by, then moments turn into minutes and nothing happens. His comment stands there alone and he has to realize that maybe she will never even reply or even see it.

It doesn’t matter, he tells himself as he shuts the laptop down and goes on to do his things, but he finds his thoughts wander over to her from time to time.

He has a busy day ahead of him the next day, quite a few meetings and a fitting. He checks back for a reply in the morning, but it slips his mind the moment he leaves from home and his phone rings right away. Throughout the day he basically barely has time to check his emails, his other notifications are just sitting patiently on the bar, waiting for him to acknowledge them. It’s way past five in the afternoon when he finally have some time for himself after his fitting. He is sitting in his car, people walk past him without even realizing who is sitting behind the tinted windows. Scrolling down he gets rid of everything that doesn’t seem urgent until his eyes stop at one particular notification.

“Y/N replied to your comment,” he reads it out loud, just to make it real, as if he is seeing it wrong and saying it with his own mouth brings it to life. He quickly taps on it and the familiar video opens up and while Y/N starts talking again the screen jumps down to the comments where, in fact, there is a reply from her.

“Dear H! Thank you for your heartfelt comment! I always forget it’s not just my family who sees these videos, but I’m happy you found them interesting enough to watch a few of them.”

“A few?” Harry huffs to himself feeling a little ridiculous he has watched all of them.

“I hope I didn’t bore you too much. Thank you for the well wishes for me, my brother and Henry too. He is sending his love to you. Y/N xx”

The comment was posted three hours ago. The thought that she has acknowledged his existence with not only reading but also replying to his comment brings him extreme joy. He reads her words over and over again, looking for any clue that would give away that she found his comment weird, but it seems like she was more surprised and happy that someone else saw her video besides her brother. Harry starts to type his reply without hesitation.

“Bore me? You saved me from watching another “what’s in my bag” video the other day. It was a pleasant change. I love your plants, by the way. Your room always gives off the most relaxed vibes. It reminded me I should have more of them in my home. H”

Harry smiles to himself posting his comment, the fear of appearing like a stalker long gone from him, the interaction is making his inside blossom from joy. For his biggest surprise a reply appears just a few minutes away and Harry reads Y/N’s new lines with deep hunger.

“Those videos suck the life out of me every time! I might be having a problem with buying too many plants, but I can’t help myself. They truly bring peace to me just by looking at them. I’m glad you are planning on buying some more, you won’t regret it!”

Harry is dying to reply, but he doesn’t want to look too eager and needy, so he opts for just liking her comment to let her know he read it and agrees. He locks his phone and puts it aside with the widest smile on his face as he starts his car and leaves his parking spot.

Two weeks pass by. In those two weeks Y/N uploads two more videos, one about her time with her grandparents, for a change it was filmed at their home and they even said hello in it. Harry feels wholesome seeing her with her granny and grandpa, it’s clear she cares a lot about them. The other video is just a short one where she has met some of Sammy’s old high school friends and she had a check in from them, sending a sweet message to him through the video. Harry doesn’t doubt how much these little things mean to Sammy, even if he doesn’t get to see them right away. Seeing Y/N alone boosts his mood every time she uploads a new video, he can only imagine how they make Sammy feel.

He leaves comments on her videos without a second thought and she replies to all of them, a lot of the time almost immediately. These are the highlights of his days without exception. Knowing that she has anything to do with him just fascinates him and he is starting to realize what his fans feel towards him on a different level. Whenever he sees the notification that she has replied to what he wrote or that she uploaded a new video he flies right to her page to check it, no matter what he is doing. Some of their comment threads turn out pretty lengthy, almost like a chat conversation and it has Harry wonder how they could maybe move it to somewhere else from the comment section.

He wants to ask for her number, but figures it wouldn’t be the best idea. Regardless of how much he enjoys their short little conversations, the situation is still weird and complicated and he doesn’t want to forget that.

But he is pleasantly surprised when she brings it up herself, to move the conversation to somewhere else.

“Would love to discuss that more with you. Up for exchanging IG names?” her question reads and he blinks a few before he fully comprehends that she wants to talk to him more in private. However there’s no way he can send her his real Instagram profile and making a fake one would be way too suspicious. Opening up the private messages he sends her a short, but informative message.

“I don’t use Instagram, but feel free to text me,” and then his phone number.

He sits at the dinner table anxiously, waiting for his phone to light up from a new text, and just a few minutes later it finally comes.

“Hi! It’s Y/N,” he reads from the notification and he saves the number right away.

“Hello! Save me as Harry. I haven’t even told you my name yet, how rude of me!” he replies chuckling to himself.

“Will let it slip this time. Harry. What a nice name!”

“Is it what you thought about from the H?”

“It was one of my theories. The other one was Hayes, but Harry fits you better.”

“You haven’t even seen me, how do you know what name fits me?”

“I don’t know. You had a vibe. There are many great Harries in the world, you seemed to fit between them!”

Harry wonders if she is thinking about him without even knowing that… it is him. He wants to ask her, but decides not to. Instead, he is enjoying that he can now reach her immediately and not through a comment section. He never thought this would actually happen.

 The texts never stop. They have so much to talk about! Their entire life to share, millions of thoughts and so much to discuss! Harry is not proud of the time he has spent with his eyes glued to his phone, but he wouldn’t miss a chance to talk to her for anything. Their friends are not blind to the change in him, but Mitch is the only one with a guess about why he has gotten so addicted to his phone.

“Is it the girl from the videos?” he asks Harry one time when they are at the studio, having lunch break. Different food boxes are scattered around them, on the table and the couch. Harry’s phone just light up from a text and he immediately dropped his lunch to type a response.

He glances up at his friend with a shy smile nodding his head. He hasn’t talked about his newly funded friendship with Y/N yet, it feels like as if he tells it to anyone it might evaporate into just a dream.

“So you reached out, huh?”

“I did,” he nods returning to his food once his message is sent. “She’s great.”

“Does she know who she is talking to?” Harry’s lack of answer tells enough about the truth to Mitch. “You can’t hide forever, especially if you are planning on meeting her.”

“I know,” he answers shortly. “But I just don’t know how I could even bring it up to her without sounding like a mad man.”

“She’ll need proof.”

“M’not ready to show m’self to her. What if it changes everything?”

“Then it wasn’t worth it,” he simply tells him.

Deep down Harry knows it’s the truth, but he is not ready to be robbed from the joy she is bringing him. He has never felt such a deep connection to anyone before and they haven’t even met. It’s just a version of her he is seeing on the screen, not her real self. But it feels real to him and he wants to keep this reality to himself for just a little longer.

 “I wish I could hear your voice, Harry. You are one big mystery to me, you know that?”

He forgets to breathe for a moment as he reads her message, lying in bed one evening, getting ready to sleep, but he wanted to check in with her before ending the day.

“You know so much about me already,” he types back.

“Not enough, I feel like. Sometimes I’m afraid Nev and Max are about to show up at my door and tell me that I’ve been catfished.”

He chuckles at her words, though he completely understands her fear.

“What do you want from me then?”

“Send me a voice message so I know you are real. That would put my suspicion to sleep. For a while…”

Harry hesitates for a long time until he decides just one voice message couldn’t hurt. Just a short one where his voice is not that recognizable so his cover won’t be over immediately.

“Good night, Y/N,” he tells into his phone and then send the recording to her.

He watches the status change from delivered to read and a couple of minutes go by before she finally responds.

“Thank you. Now I know that you are real. I hope I’ll hear your voice in real life one day.”

“I hope that too.”

 His time spent undercover is coming to an end and he knows it’ll happen soon. It’s been weeks since they started chatting, almost an entire month and she’s been hinting her will to see his face and though he has been putting it off, he knows it has to happen.

Fate is playing under his hands, because he is traveling to Seattle for a few days, exactly when Y/N is traveling there to visit her parents.

“I hope you know you can’t leave without meeting finally,” she wrote when she found out they are going to be in the same city.

“It never even crossed my mind!” he wrote back chuckling to himself, however it brought him extreme anxiety that he is now going to be forced to come clean about who he really is.

He spends his whole flight to Seattle making up possible outcomes for their first official meeting. Not all of them end well and it’s just fueling his fear that he might lose her for not telling her the entire truth.

But she is a smart girl, she’ll see your reasoning, he tells himself, however he can’t entirely convince himself that it will be the case.

In hopes of squeezing in more than just one meeting into the weekend they agreed to meet almost first thing after he lands. So after checking into his hotel he heads into the city to finally meet her in real life in a local café she suggested for the occasion. Arriving to the place he is running a little late and she already texted him she’ll be waiting for him inside. Harry is wearing a beanie with shades to try to keep up his cover and it seems to be working, no one has approached him yet.

Stepping inside the cozy looking place his eyes roam around and immediately finds her sitting in the corner, pouring sugar into her coffee, not even paying attention to the door at the moment, but truth is she’s been intensely staring at it in the past ten minutes she has been there.

Harry takes a deep breath and nods to himself before heading in her way, hands shaking nervously as he stops at her table.

She glances up at him with innocent eyes, a smile spreads across her face as she sees that her mysterious Harry has arrived and she doesn’t recognize her until he finally takes his sunglasses off.

Harry watches her face turn from happiness to surprise then utter shock as she realizes who is standing in front of him.

“You are… my Harry?” she asks, confusion laced through her voice and Harry can’t ignore how she called him her Harry. He likes the ring of it.

“M’orry if it’s a little too much f’you, I really didn’t know how to tell ya.”

Keeping his eyes on her he pulls out the other chair at the table and takes a seat across her while she is still staring at him with a shocked and puzzled expression sitting on her face. Then she looks around in suspicion as he wiggles his coat off his arms, before her eyes settle on him once again.

“It’s not an episode of Catfish, right?” she asks making him chuckle.

“It is not, don’t worry.”

“I’m sorry if I’m being weird, but this was literally the last thing I was expecting,” she admits leaning back in her seat. “I believed things like this only happen in movies.”

“Not just there,” he smiles, slowly relieving that she is still sitting there and hasn’t ran out. It’s going way better than he expected.

She needs a little time to put the whole picture together and befriend the thought that she indeed just developed a friendship with Harry Styles through her videos for her brother. The absurdity is still shocking to her, but the more time passes by with him still sitting there, the more she finds peace with it.

Once the shock and surprise is gone they slowly realize they are seeing each other in real life finally. Harry feels overwhelmed, she is even more breathtaking than in her videos and through texts. He is mesmerized by her whole being and could listen to her talk in person forever, he wouldn’t get bored of her.

Time stops existing as they sit at the little café, talking for hours even though that’s all they’ve been doing through texts, but they just can’t get enough of hearing each other, seeing each other’s reaction and be able to see each other and not stare at a screen while talking.

Unfortunately, time never stopped just for the two of them and soon she realizes she needs to head back home. Harry doesn’t want to let go of her just yet so he offers to give her a ride, thanking himself for getting a rental for himself upon arriving. Y/N accepts the offer so the two of them head back to her parents’ home, soaking up the last minutes of their precious time spent together.

“Thank you for today, I really loved meeting you finally,” she smiles at him once they are parked on the driveway.

“I hope I didn’t shock you too much,” he chuckles scratching his chin.

“Just a little,” she admits before they both get out of the car and walking around it she stops in front of him, after a moment of hesitation she opts for a hug that he returns more than happily.

It feels as if her frame was perfectly sculpted to fit in his embrace and Harry can’t imagine how he could go this long without even seeing her in person. He knows it’s gonna be utter misery to be away from her after they leave the city.

“Will I see you before you take off?” she asks letting go of him. Harry looks down at her, the urge to kiss her growing bigger with each passing moment, but he is not sure if it would be appropriate to give it a try on their first time meeting.

“I’m free tomorrow for a lunch,” he tells her and she nods smiling.

“Then I’m free too,” she chuckles.

There’s an awkward moment where they are not sure what else should be done or said and the more they wait the weirder it’s getting so Harry clears his throat as he takes a step back, sad that he has to leave without feeling her lips on his, but he is not trying to be too greedy.

“I’ll see you tomorrow then,” he smiles walking back to his car. Y/N waves after him and sitting back to behind the wheel he takes a moment to himself to collect himself after everything that has happened today. His hands curl around the wheel and he is about to start the car when someone knocks on the window. Y/N is smiling at him through the glass and he rolls it down curiously.

“I just…” she starts hesitantly, her eyes wander down to his lips and Harry knows what’s about to happen, but it still catches him by surprise.

Y/N leans in through the window and presses her lips to Harry’s, capturing them in a sweet, long awaited first kiss they both have been dreaming of for quite a while. Harry smiles into the kiss, bringing his right hand up to cup her cheeks as they stretch the moment for as long as possible. Whenever one pulls back the other brings them back for just one more kiss that turns into two more, then three… It takes a long time for them to finally let go of each other.

“See you later, H,” she smiles backing out of the car and running up to the front door, smiling wildly as she waves in his way one last time before disappearing in the house.

 Lying in bed that evening Harry is scrolling through his Instagram feed when he finally realizes he can now follow her without a worry. He is quick to find her profile again and hit that follow button. He is happy to see she was already following him.

He is just about to put his phone aside and go to bed after such a busy but exciting day when a notification pops up on the screen.

Y/N has just uploaded a new video!

He taps on it quickly and her smiling face greets him from his phone’s screen.

“Hi Sammy! It’s me again. Welcome back to our channel,” she starts with a shy smile. The setting is new this time, he supposes it’s her parents’ home this time. “This is going to be a short video, but I wanted to tell you about something. Or someone.”

Harry’s heart skips a beat when he thinks about where it’s heading. He listens to her voice holding his breath.

“I met someone today. We’ve been talking for a while, but I could finally hug him today. His name is Harry, and he is a wonderful man. I think you two would get along well,” she says with a soft chuckle. “I love spending time with him and I hope he feels the same way. Actually…” Her eyes move up straight to the camera, something she doesn’t do often. She usually stares out the window or plays with Henry while talking. “I think he is watching it right now. Hi Harry!”

“Hello, Beautiful,” he greets her back with a smile as if she could hear him.

“I wanted to tell you how amazing you are making me feel. I hope I didn’t disappoint. I was so nervous to meet you today, I hope I lived up to what you imagined me to be.”

“You were so much better than that,” he answers again.

“Anyway… I hope you feel the same way. You are the first guy I’m talking about in an update, so appreciate it!” she tells him and he chuckles lightly. “I’ll see you soon, H. But until then… Know that I’m thinking about you.”

“M’thinking about you too, Angel.”

“Sammy, I miss you as always. I hope everything is well, can’t wait for your next email. I love you,” she smiles before the video ends.

Harry heads straight to the comments. This time he doesn’t leave a lengthy one, just a short line, but it has everything he wanted to tell her.

“I feel the same way.” The comment reads. Just a few seconds later comes the notification and he smiles sweetly at his phone.

Y/N liked the comment.
