an: hey guys! sorry for taking so long! here's the masterlist if needed.

tags: black!reader, fem coded reader, I finished this late at night so, it's just a whole lot of nonsense

tag list: @taybird

After an hour of chatting and filling yourself up with food, you needed a nap. You hoped that you wouldn't fall into a sleep so deep that you'd never go to the show. It'd be a bummer.

You ended up sleeping for two hours, right when Levi had entered your room to tell you to get ready. He looked tired, the boys were probably bothering him.

Once Levi left your room, you took another bath. Once you were done with that, you brushed your teeth and moisturized. Moments later, you let your team know it was ok to enter your room and help you with your outfit

Satisfied with your choice of clothing, you started on your makeup.

You were excited about this date. Levi told you that you, Mikasa, and the guys were going to watch Aladdin. Not only was it familiar but it was romantic. The thought about who you might eliminate crossed your mind but you continuously shake your head to forget about it

When you entered a seating room where your dates and Mikasa were located. The first thing you noticed was Jean, Eren, and Mikasa chatting. Well, not exactly. Jean, dressed in a suit vest, along with a suit jacket and pants, was sitting on the armrest of the seat that Mikasa was sitting in, and Eren, in a green sweater vest and dark blue dress pants was sitting on the couch across from Mikasa. The boys were chatting about something you had no idea about and Mikasa didn't seem like she had much to say. She gave them both of her attention and seemed interested in what they had to say.  You just hoped that she hadn't gained the attention of either man. The game wasn't over yet.

Bertholdt and Reiner weren't too far from the other three. Bertholdt was in a blue sweater with a white dress shirt underneath and khaki pants. Reiner was in a green dress shirt that showed off a bit of his chest and dark pants. The two were having a conversation of their own but then stopped when they saw you.

"Hi, y/n," Bertholdt greets you. You really liked his energy. On your first night with all the guys, you learned that Bertholdt was a really shy guy (and you almost eliminated him because of that) but after a few words between the two of you, you realized he was a really really nice guy. He was too nice. There was no way the other guys could pick a fight with him.

Jean and Eren stop conversing to look up at you. A smile immediately appeared on Jean's face. "You look nice, y/n," Eren jumps in. Your heart jumped slightly. You managed to hold a conversation with him but damn, that man was so fine. But so was Jean...and Bertholdt...and Reiner. There was no way you'd be able to eliminate those guys.

"Hi!" you manage to get out. "Levi told me we were going to watch Aladdin. I'm pretty excited about that...and you guys have not choice but to be excited either."

The guys let out a laugh. Mikasa had her signature emotionless face on but you knew she was laughing on the inside.

"Before we go, I wanted to discuss seating with you guys." You tried not to think about this because it made you feel nervous. Only two guys would be able to sit by you and two others would have to sit with Mikasa. You were worried that one of the guys would take it the wrong way or that Mikasa would manage to steal one of the guys from you.

"For this date, I'd like Eren and Jean to sit with Mikasa. I see you two a lot and you always stop by to talk to me, so maybe it's time for a break," you explain. "Aw, Jean, she's breaking up with us," Eren says in a jokingly sad tone. Jean shakes his head and chuckles. "That's fine, y/n, and it makes sense. We do have to share."

You're so grateful that they understand. You look over to Bertholdt and Reiner. Bertholdt's face is already red. "You two will be sitting. with me. Is that ok, Bertie?" Bertholdt freezes and Reiner pats his friend's lap. "He'll be alright. He's never been this close to a woman before."

"T-That's not true," Bertholdt finally says. You thought the way he got flustered was so cute. "The limo's outside, so it's best that we get going, yeah?" you say.

The minute you got to the theatre. You were met with paparazzi. Bertholdt was taken by surprise, so you took his hand once he got out of the limo. You knew this was going to start a conversation but you needed this man to chill out. Fortunately, Bertholdt did not have a meltdown when you held his hand.

He was a good boy for the rest of the night as well. When the first act of the show was reaching its end, you held his hand once more. He took his eyes off the show to give you a small smile. He seemed to be comfortable with you now.

During intermission, you decided to excuse yourself and head to the bathroom. Mikasa followed you- there was no way she was going to left with four women hungry boys.

"You have a favorite?" you ask, referring to the boys. Mikasa's eyes widen. "You have a favorite. Wow, Mikasa."

"y/n, don't be mad...I...Eren is cute and so is Jean but I want to wait. If one of those guys goes home, I won't hesitate to get their numbers."

"Mikasa, you're terrible," you say, trying to hold in your laughter. You tried to be pissed but Mikasa was way too cute. The fact that she was eyeing two of your "boyfriends" was concerning but the fact that she admitted it and the way she did was hilarious.

During the second and final act, you decided to try your little hand trick with Reiner. You waited until he seemed focused on the story to place your hand on top of his. You realized how big his hand was. It wasn't bigger than Bertie's but it was something. He must have noticed how distracted you were by his hands because when you looked up, he was smirking at you. Right then and there, Reiner intertwines your fingers and they remain like that the rest of the show.

After the performance, you all got an opportunity to go backstage and meet the performers. A few of them told you that you were beautiful, others were interested in what guy you would pick. Before you all left, there was a request to take a group photo.

Jean stood behind you and put a hand around your back. He looked down at you. "Is this ok?" You nod. Jean's hand filled your whole back. This guy could pick you up and throw you somewhere if he wanted. But of course, he was too kind. You looked over at Eren, who had this hand over Mikasa. You were beginning to feel suspicious until you saw that Reiner had his hand around Mikasa's waist. Reiner couldn't possibly be into Mikasa, right?

That was something you had to sleep on.

The ride home was silent- other than Mikasa's soft snores and Eren's loud ones. The two had fallen asleep on each other. Every time Eren snored, it just got louder and the rest of you couldn't contain your laughter. Jean had his phone out, recording this whole thing because "at some point, the world needs to see who Eren Yeager really is". You had tears rolling down your face because this was really stupid but funny at the same time.

When you got to the mansion, Reiner helped you out of the car. Jean asked about Eren and Mikasa but you told him not to worry about them. They'd figure themselves out. Reiner and Jean wished you goodnight and began to make their way inside. Bertie stayed behind.

"Is everything alright? I know things were a bit overwhelming today," you start.

"Yeah, but you really helped me out. So thank you. I'm working on myself because I really want to have some alone time with you. I need to have the courage to face you though."

"Aw, Bertholdt. You're perfect. I like you just the way you are," you reassure him.

"You said my name right."

"You're right, I did."

Bertholdt looks like he wants to say something but he doesn't.

Instead, he kisses you.

"B-bertholdt..."

"I should have asked for permission first," he says sheepishly.

"No! It was ok...I just wasn't expecting that from you," you admit. "Head inside ok? I'll make sure we talk after the Rose ceremony."

Bertholdt nods and gives you one more look before heading inside.

Yeah, none of these guys were going to go home

(SPACER)

damn I didn't know Bertie had moves like that 😭 anyways y'all, here's a poll. it's not an elimination one but I miss hearing y'all's thoughts. take a look! until next time :)

Feyre Archeron appears in the Spring Court. It's a whole thing.

Hey I'm back with more of this au. (This au being: what if acotar was actually blaseball?)

Here's the first part, which you don't actually have to read because this isn't a continuity thing.

And here's some badly typed up history, which you also don't have to read.

Should I add context about this. Like blaseball information: sometimes players die! This happens when they get incinerated. Rogue umpires do the incinerating.

There might be typos. I wrote this on my phone.

There is a human standing in the entrance of the ballpark. She's wearing a Canines jersey, but Tamlin is quite sure they don't have a human player on their roster. Or their shadows. Or anywhere in the Above league.

The human looks equally confused, eyeing everything- the ballpark, her uniform, and Tamlin -with a mixture of confusion and panic. There are no fae in the Below league, Tamlin recalls.

"Where.. am I?"

A part of Tamlin absolutely does not want to deal with this right now. It's been an exhausting several seasons, with a rogue god making the daily games hellish and terrifying. Incinerations all across the league, and half a dozen other things that could seriously hurt a player. Still, this new player deserves a friendly face, and he can't be sure how the rest of the team will act.

"You're in the Spring Court. The Canines. I'm their captain, Tamlin. And you?"

"Feyre. From the Oaks." Tamlin hasn't heard of her, which isn't surprising. Not a lot of information gets passed through the wall. Just some big events, names of teams and their captains, and standout players.

Feyre peers past him, into the stadium. If she's hoping for a glimpse of the rest of the team, Tamlin thinks, then she's out of luck. Practice is over for the day, and the rest of the team's headed off to the locker rooms. (Why they even bother with training, Tamlin doesn't know. Rogue umpires do not care about a team's performance.)

Maybe it's for the best that they're not here. He can ease them into the news. Especially since there's a 10 emblazoned on Feyre's sleeve. That had been Andras' number, and Tamlin doesn't have to be a genius to know this means the pitcher is probably gone. Lucien won't like that.

"Well, Feyre, I can help you set up some lodgings. Most of us just share a manor, and we've always got extra rooms, but if you'd rather stay somewhere alone-"

"Alone? Oh." Feyre pauses. "I think the manor is fine."

Tamlin nods. "You can change your mind at any time. This is probably a lot to take in. Pretty unexpected. But hey," he laughs. It comes out hollower than he intended. "That's the splort!"

"Yeah. Curveballs only."

"The rest of the team's in the lockers. Do you want to meet them right now?"

Feyre shrugs. "Why the hell not?"

"They might be a little cold. I'm sorry in advance, it's just been a rough season for all of us." Feyre looks at him, an unreadable thought on her face. Tamlin wonders if she's taking note of the bags under his eyes. "Except for Alys. She'll probably be nice even if she's not feeling it."

"Alys?"

"One of our pitchers. A dryad, so she's covered in bark. Don't mistake her for Ada though. Ada's prickly no matter what. You'll know when you see it, but Ada's hair is shorter."

When they near the lockers, Tamlin sees the blue and violet petals Andras was always shedding. They're scattered near the door, like he'd stepped outside before he'd vanished. Andras had been with the team since the catastrophic mass incineration and roster flip that'd killed Tamlin's brothers and made him captain. The grief from his disappearance will hit him later, Tamlin knows. Alongside Mer and Gabriel's incinerations. Maybe he'll cry about it to Lucien, or something. But right now, he's the captain of his team, and that's now he's going to act.
