Inspiration: "You still would've turn my head, even if we'd met on a crowded street in 1944 and you were heading off to fight in the war" – Timeless (From the Vault) by Taylor Swift

It was supposed to be a quick in and out mission. Y/N and Tony were sent back in time to 1944; one day before Captain America and the Howling Commandos deployed to their next mission at the Austrian Alps, in Europe.

The duo were supposed to retrieve some lost files regarding Hydra's hidden bunks and labs back in the days. After the fight with Thanos, there were rumours of the re-creation of Project Winter Soldier lead by an organization that once associated with Hydra. So, they need all the information they could get their hands on; including the ones that are lost decades ago.

Unfortunately for them SHIELD used to be shitty at storing physical files back in the days. To be fair they still do, especially now that technology had advanced. Every single information were at the tip of their fingers; from typical criminal records to the name of every single doctor and nurses who were present when the person was born.

They literally have everything. And nothing at the same time.

And honestly, the mission was quick as they predicted. Tony managed to scanned the needed files and some others that he thought would be important. He's extra like that too, which was a plus.

However quick the mission supposed to be, they barely make it though, especially when the guards were suspicious of Tony's apparently "hippie" beard. It was such a shame. So much for dressing up in 40's style. They kind of nailed the outfit and aesthetics, according to Steve anyway.

However, thankfully by the time they got out of the facility they managed fit right in with crowd. The wave of people lead the duo along its current, more and more people joined in to the point that they weren't able to find any quiet place to activate their time device.

"I thought we're still in WWII? Why is there fucking a parade in the middle of the day?" Tony being unapologetically sarcastic as always.

Y/N looked around as she observed, there was couple of people animatedly, albeit, excitedly exclaimed to the streak of success of Captain America and the Howling Commandos in the war.

A little to the right of them, were a group of children who were semi-cosplaying as Captain America and his dream team, passionately play-fighting with the enemies as if they were in a theater performance.

"I guess they're celebrating small wins. Steve and his team did have several successful raids since the battle at Azzano." It was in fact true; what Y/N speculated was exactly the very reason of the current occasion.

Tony simply shrugged as he stretched his neck higher to hopefully find the end the crowd, "Sure, just keep your eyes open for a place to time jump. I don't want to be stuck in the middle of another war." Y/N nodded as she looked around the sides, wondering if there's an empty alleyway that they could use.

The more sketchy looking it was, the better.

The crowd was chaotic with different mix of conversations and cheers; voices intertwining with one another, each sentences criss and crosses into indecipherable storyline. But even then, Y/N could recognized that breathy, slightly giggly laughter anywhere.

Especially when he brushed right by her.

Y/N was well aware of how madly in love she was with Bucky even with the coy cat-and-mouse game they were playing for months. She knew exactly the hold he had on her soul that at some point, she was conviced that he still would've turn her head in any lifetime.

But that idea was only supposed to be one of the secrets in her mind; the thoughts of a hopeless romantic that she was. Certainly, she didn't dreamt of the vision for it come true. But there she was, frozen on her spot when the time stood still on the crowded street in 1944; fortuitously crossing path with man she fell in love with.

There weren't any suitable explanation for this other than it was fate. In that short milliseconds, Y/N saw the resemblance of the sight to a memory of hers in the crowded room a few short years ago; his left arm slung around Steve's neck, letting his weight leaned on his super soldier friend as he let out a hearty laughter.

There were only slight difference from what she saw before and what she currently seeing; Bucky wore an all black suit at that party, now he's wearing his military uniform in a parade. Bucky was dead drunk on Asguardian mead that night, now he's as sober as a soldier deprived of liquor. Bucky's left hand was adorned with high-tech vibranium metal, now that very hand was still made of flesh and blood, still alive.

During that brief moment of revelation, she truly believed that they were supposed to find this.

Whatever this is supposed to be; Fate? Love? Both? She was not sure either.

She was so stuck on holding her gaze on his back as the young soldier walked a few steps away from her that she didn't notice how the people in the surge glared at her unmoving state or how she had been astray from Tony.

Well, at least it only lasted until someone bumped into her and she staggered backwards, inevitably fell on the ground.

Y/N groaned but quickly patted her pockets to find her time device was still there. I mean, she can never be sure if it was just an accident that she fell or someone intended to distract her while pick-pocketing her belongings.

Though other people would probably already stood on  their feet but Y/N was still on the dusty road, as she was busy recollecting her mental state rather than her physical.

That was when a calloused hand reached out to her, offering a kind help.

She didn't think twice to take his hand, let alone looking up at his face when she gripped it tight enough to make a solid foundation to push herself against the gravity, "Oh dear me! Thank you so much, sir. I really..." She lost her momentum when she met the pale blue of his eyes, "...appreciate it." She ended the sentence breathlessly.

It's Bucky. Her brain tried to let her process the thought. It was not her Bucky but still... it's Bucky. Her eyes then fell to where their skin touched. Warm and gentle. His left hand felt the exact same as his right. It made her to cave in the urge to hold it a little longer, to savour the memory of what it could've been; not that she weren't fond of his vibranium arm but curiosity can be such a fickle thing.

Bucky smiled, "Glad to help, my lady." And oh dear does he smiled effortlessly, freely; as if he knew he deserved to feel joy in his life.

Even if she didn't want to, she had to let go of his hand after a few seconds too long of holding it when she was already up and ready to go. She returned his smile though her heart was barely tough enough to stop the spreading of its cracks, "Really, I can't thank you enough."

In reality, it was probably unnecessary to thank him that much for helping her to get back on her feet, but Y/N wasn't really thanking him just for that.

Unbeknownst to him, she was thanking him for not holding back a smile, for not overthinking about the things he might have done to draw a conclusion that he was undeserving have the luxury to smile, for unapologetically just living the life he supposed to have.

She thanked him for it.

Bucky chuckled amusingly as he slightly titled his head to the side. A charming pull on the corner of his lips revealed a smile that could swoon anyone on sight, especially her.

"Well, we're having a little party tonight before deploying to Europe tomorrow. So, maybe you can thank me by letting me bring you to the dance? How about that, doll?" She almost forgot that Steve was there next to him, until Bucky references the word "we".

And especially when his words might just pulled Y/N's heartstrings in ways that she could never thought someone could do. It was awfully slow, almost too delicate of a pull, but each inches of it pained her deeply.

If it was up to her, she would've said yes a million times over but she knew she can't. And the voice in her earpiece reminded her of it, "Y/N, we gotta go." Tony urged as he watched her from the corner of the street.

Y/N tried her best not let her facial expression flatter, "Unfortunately, I can't. I'm going back to my hometown today." It wasn't exactly a lie when she made that excuse.

"Ohh, I see. You're not from here, huh?" Bucky was very honest as his reaction clearly showed his disappointment. Though not at her, just at the situation.

Her brows briefly crunch into an apologizing plead before she boldly grabbed him by the collar of his uniform, slightly pulled him down to her level, while the other hand cupped one side of his face.

She tiptoed herself upwards as she pressed a firm yet sweet kiss on the smooth skin of his cheek and whispered against it, "But, I hope this would do."

Lost for words, heck, Bucky was lost for thoughts. What was left was his own heart thumping hard and loud that he bet Steve can hear it from where he was standing. His cheeks became warmer by the second and the redness spreads even to the tip of his ears.

Of course he had his cheek kissed before, but not like this. None of them felt like this. They were always too fast, too hasty.

Hers was different. It lingered a little longer, gently leaving her imprint on him. He can feel her grip on his collar, the stroke of her thumb on his cheek and of course the soft pressure of her lips on the other side of his face. He could everything so particularly.

Bucky was rendered speechless even after she pulled her lips away; it was too soon for his comfort. Eyes wide open, his lips slightly parted as he let himself lost in the pleasant surprise.

He thought she would parted herself and ran away feeling embarrassed, but she did the very opposite. Y/N lead his forehead to lean on hers, tip of their nose grazed, and her lips hovered above his.

So close, yet refused to merge with one another.

Y/N whispered quietly, as if she was talking to herself, "You'll be fine, James. You'll find home in the future. I promise."

Her voice trembled as Bucky just noticed how wet her eyes were becoming. With that amount of tears in them, he wondered if her sight were all blurry now.

Y/N took in a shaky breath before continuing, "You just need to survive the winter and trust me at the end of that season, you'll reach the sun again." Her thumbs softly traces his cheeks as she spoke.

Bucky didn't quite understand what she was saying but if he loosely translate it, it would mean that 'she believed that he'll be back soon after the war'. But then again, he felt like there were some major things that was missing from the context that he came up with.

Y/N's earpiece send another transmission of Tony's voice, "Okay, seriously. Come on, Juliette. Your other Romeo is waiting for you." She couldn't help but to smile as she closed her eyes, letting the excess tears fall down to her cheeks.

She didn't want to say goodbye, as she knew that this was not where their story ends, at least not his; that's for sure. So, she simply smiled up at him with a reassuring look in her eyes before stepping back. She then, briefly turned her attention to the dumbfounded Steve, gracing him with a similar smile before walking away.

It was just a few steps away when her hand was caught in between someone's, "Hey!" Y/N looked over her shoulder to see Bucky; wide eye, blinking in disbelief and blushing red, all at the same time, "WiIl... Will I see you again?" He asked, though hesitant; wondering if he was being rude.

Compared to what she had done to him, he was just being too polite.

Y/N chuckled dearly, "Of course." Then she replied confidently, "I owe you a dance after all." Her lips parted into a cheeky grin.

Bucky let out a sharp relieved sigh as his lips mimic hers, "I'll look forward to it, doll." He slightly bowed as his hand pulled hers closer to his lips, "Until then." He placed a soft kiss on the back of her hand as his gaze remained on hers.

Apparently, it was Y/N's turn to blush to his antics. She stepped back shyly as her cheeks brightens before scurring away. Maybe, Bucky was right with his prediction prior. She did ran away feeling embarrassed after all.

She jogged towards the next corner of the street, meeting up with Tony. The older might have eyeing her in a teasing manner, but his smirk was the biggest giveaway. Y/N simply rolled her eyes, even if her lips maintained its shape from the aftermath of her encounter with Bucky.

As they entered deeper into the alleyway, Tony spoke, "I gotta admit, young terminator was a hottie. Not hotter than me, of course." he claimed.

Y/N frowned, letting out a scoff, "What do you mean "was"? He still is." Call it bias, but at least she was telling the truth.

Tony shrugged, "Meh. Would argue to differ. But, whatever that floats your boat, I guess?" Tony sassed as they clicked on the time device at the same time, revealing a swirlling portal, in front of them.

Y/N quirked her brow, her hands on her hips, "You're just jealous that he aged like a fine fucking wine and you don't." She purposely challenged his ego.

Tony dramatically rolled his eyes, "Please. He wishes." He walked into portal with an attitude, making Y/N laughed at his childish acts.

She looked back at the alleyway one last time and reminisce the last moments of a past that she never belong in. As she walked into the portal, she thought that maybe, it's time to pay her debt to Bucky.

End.

A/N: The start of bucky drabbles because why not. This is considered a drabble for me because i feel like there's lack of story building. But, you tell me. And did you enjoy it?

[morgana-larkin]

Alright and here it is, Worth It Part 13 on Friday the 13th…lol. Next chapter will be the time jump to Christmas. This was quite a fun chapter to write as Eva is jealous and Melissa is so fucking oblivious 😂. Not edited in the slightest and I hope you like it!

On another note: So I’ll have the next chapter out before the end of the year and that’ll be all my Melissa’s fics that’ll come out until the new year. I’m focusing on doing my 3 Chessy prompts and 2 Donna prompts before the year ends.

Worth It - Part 13

Warnings: Smut, Jealous Eva

Words: 10.55k

Melissa woke up first and realised she was spooning you and holding you close to her and she smiles. She thought about how a few weeks ago you weren’t even sleeping with her anymore and now she gets to hold you close after you met her family. She then hears a buzz from her phone and she looks over and grabs it. She sees she’s got new messages from the group chat she has with all her siblings and she scrolls up to read them all.

Marie: I just want to say Melissa that I like Eva. She’s the perfect balance of calm and chaotic

John Anthony: I agree with you there Marie

Marie Camille: I agree as well, I hope the terrible twins and Maria Christina didn’t scare her off though

Maria Christina: I resent that comment, we weren’t scaring her, we were having fun

Toni: I’m with Maria Christina, was just being our fun bubbly selves

Kristen Marie: Bubbly? You 3 were the reasons we got more house rules

Tony: What’s your point?

John Anthony: Kristen Marie, you’re friends with Eva, did those 3 scare her off?

Kristen Marie: Nope, they’re still together and Eva is still coming to the Christmas party

Toni: See? We told ya, we were having fun

Marie Camille: How long have you known about them being together Kristen Marie?

Kristen Marie: Since the first date when I walked in on Melissa on top of her and they were making out

Maria Christina: Daammnm! Sis got some moves

Marie: Speaking of which, where is Melissa? Isn’t she normally awake at this time?

Tony: She is but it’s Saturday, she could actually be sleeping in or she’s just flat out ignoring us

Seamus: it wouldn’t be the first time that she’s ignoring us

Kristen Marie: Or the last time

Toni: Kristen Marie you do have the most experience with Melissa ignoring you as you brought a disgraceful dish to Nonna’s wake.

Kristen Marie: We’re not talking about that anymore

Tony: Does anyone have any memory of what happened after we started playing never have I ever?

Maria Christina: Not a lot, we did get pretty drunk during the game

Marie Camille: You don’t give us enough credit, we were already drunk before we started playing it, which is the reason we started playing it

Maria Christina: That’s true

Melissa: Youse all a bunch of drunk whores, that’s what happened after youse started playing

Kristen Marie: Well look who finally decided to join the party

Tony: Drunk whores? I would say we’re more sexually active instead of drunk whores

Toni: We’re not the only ones who gets action, from what we heard, you’ve been getting action for weeks

Seamus: Melissa is a top Melissa is a top

Maria Christina: A blonde birdie told us you’ve been topping her since the first date

Melissa: We just made out, but only because we’ve been kissing since before we got together

Kristen Marie: Well this is news to me

John Anthony: Since before? Please give us more details

Toni: Yesss! Please share

Melissa: Youse a bunch of children but fine

Marie: Honestly nothing that exciting happens anymore

Melissa: We first kissed about 3 weeks after we met as I got jealous of another teacher asking her out

Maria Christina: You got jealous? Never thought I’d see the day

Marie Camille: Then what happened after? Did you finally get together?

Melissa: No, I got nervous and ran away. I saw her again on Sunday though as that was the family gathering. She was helping me with my sexuality

John Anthony: We always knew you were into both sis

Marie: And we also didn’t support you even though we should have

Melissa: Well thank you, but that was in the past, when it wasn’t accepted yet

Marie Camille: But you’re our big sister, you helped raised us, we should have been there for you no matter what

Melissa: Thanks guys. But the important thing is I’m out now and accept who I am and I’m very happy with it

Seamus: That’s very important

Tony: Out and proud! Just like me! Twinsies

Toni: I can’t believe you call her that but never said that to me… you’re actual twin

Tony: That’s the reason I never said it to you, we’re twins for life whether we like it or not

Toni: At the moment I don’t like knowing you, much less being twins

Kristen Marie: Alright knock it off dumb and dumber!

Melissa: As much as I would love to stay and chat with you guys, I have a girlfriend who’s waking up

Kristen Marie: Well we all approve of her and you being with her

John Anthony: Yep, specially ma since she put you back in rotation

Marie: Remember! It’s at my place on Christmas Day, don’t come any earlier that 3pm or you will get hit with a frying pan

John Anthony: I still have phantom pain from last time you hosted and I showed up early to help

Maria Christina: See you stronzos there next month!

Toni: see ya losers!

Tony: Bye for now

Marie Camille: And we’re doing secret Santa, Marie’s husband will text everyone on who’s got who

Marie: Which reminds me, let me know everyone who’s participating in that.

Melissa: Alright, I know I am. I’ll talk to Eva and her brothers about it

Tony: Is her brother Carl coming?

Melissa: Keep it in your pants Tony

Melissa sends the last text before turning it off and hears her phone buzz a few times before it stops and she looks over at you. You’re already awake and you turned to look at her with a smile.

“Who were you texting so early?” You ask her and shuffle closer to her to snuggle.

“Just my siblings, we have a group chat.” She says and puts her phone down then wraps an arm around you.

“Hmm, and what are they saying?”

“Just that they approve of you and talking about the Christmas party next month.”

“That’s nice, by the way, I thought next month maybe you can get drunk and I’ll drive us home.” You tell her and she smiles.

“You know what, I think that’s for the best as my family is the worst on Christmas.” She tells you.

“They were also teasing you in the group chat, weren’t they?” You ask and she nods.

“Yep, and I’m not surprised that it took them a week before I heard what they thought of you. Especially since they probably spent the Sunday getting over their hangovers like you did.” She tells you and you groan.

“That was a torturous morning.” You say as you nuzzle your head in her neck.

“Well considering you had 5 glasses when your limit is two then I’m not surprised.”

“What’s your limit?”

“Depends what I have but what you were drinking, my limit is 4 glasses before I start getting drunk.”

“4?”

“I’m Italian and it was the 70’s and 80’s, I’ve been having wine since I was a child since no one cared.” She says and you laugh.

“Your childhood sounds crazy. Although after meeting your siblings it’s not really surprising.” You tell her and she giggles.

“Shall we get ready for the day?”

“Besides our date, what else do we have to do today?” You ask her.

“Well I thought of having a nice relaxing weekend with my girl after the chaotic and stressful 3 months we’ve had.” She tells you and you look down with guilt. She notices and lifts your head up by your chin. “It’s not just the drama from you. I’ve literally come out and accepted who I am after so long, we had a lockdown, a fire, two Schemmenti gatherings, the regular chaos that kids cause, the whole thing with Gary, and him moving out and you moving in.” She tells you and you wrap your arm around her waist.

“I guess when you put it like that, then it has been eventful.” You say and she nods.

“Yep, so this weekend, I want a nice and relaxing one if that’s possible.” She tells you and you nod.

“Well other than the date, I have a therapy session at noon but I planned it so the rest of my therapy sessions are over zoom as it’s tiring after.” You tell her and she nods.

“And do you find that they’re helping?” She asks you and you think about it.

“They are. I’ve only begun to scratch the surface of my trauma though.” You tell her and she nods then continues cuddling you. “So for this relaxing weekend, what does that include?” You ask and look at her.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean is it only cuddling each other, is there movies or tv shows to watch, or maybe something a little more that we’re both nicely undressed for.” You tell her and she giggles as she gets the hint.

“You are just horny all the time aren’t you?” She tells you and you shrug.

“To be honest I was never this horny for someone until I met you.” You tell her and she turns her body so you’re face to face and kisses you. She brings one hand to your boob and starts playing with the nipple and you moan into the kiss.

“Until you met me? Were you masturbating with my name coming out of your mouth before we got together?” She asks you with that voice that drives you wild.

“Yes, I did.”

“Hm.” She purrs out as she glides a hand down your side to your leg. “And what did you imagine?” She asks you and then cups your bare centre and you gasp out. “Did you imagine me running my fingers through your folds.” She says as she does just that, runs her fingers through your folds. “Did you imagine that mia stellina?” She asks you and you nod. “Did you also imagine my fingers inside of you?” She tells you then slides a finger in your entrance and you gasp. “You’re so wet Stellina, is that all for me?” She asks and you nod again. She then inserts a second finger and begins pumping in and out. “Did my baby forget how to speak?” She says and then kisses you as she starts rubbing your clit with her other hand.

You pull her body closer to hers so that hers is pressed right against you as you need her touch, her body. “Melissa.” You whimper out and she looks at you and smirks.

“Are you close, Stellina?” She asks and you nod. “Come my beautiful Stellina.” She tells you and your body is hers and obeys her, as soon as she says that, you come. “Did that satisfy you or do you need another orgasm?” She asks with a smile.

“I’m good but I think you need one.” You say and she smirks before you slip your hand under her shorts. She gasps when you start circling her clit and then she brings you in for a kiss. You add more pressure and start going faster and you have her breathing hard and bucking her hips in no time.

“Mia Stellina.” She pants out and then rests her forehead against yours before gasping as she comes. You don’t stop though and you keep circling her clit and her head goes back a bit and you see her with her mouth open from the pleasure. She’s panting out moans as she gets closer and closer to her second orgasm.

You end up pulling away right before she comes and she snaps her eyes open and looks at you in shock and sees your smirk. You then give her a little push and she falls on her back on her side of the bed and you quickly straddle her lap. You then pull her shirt up and quickly take her shorts off and you roam your hands over her body. She’s looking at you as you explore her body and she smiles. She likes that you love her body even if she doesn’t have the best body and you look at her and tilt your head.

“I can tell what you’re thinking, you may think you don’t have the best body, but to me, you’re perfect.” You tell her and then you take her shirt off of you and she lets out a breath at seeing your naked body. “See something you like?” You ask her and then start grinding at an angle where both your clits were touching and Melissa gasps. She grabs a hold of your hips and starts helping you grind on her and she bucks her hips. You stop grinding on her when she’s close to coming again and she groans and glares at you. You immediately bend down and wrap your mouth around one of her nipples and Melissa puts her hands in your hair.

“Mia Stellina, your mouth feels so good.” She moans out and you smirk. You trail your mouth don’t lower while also moving your body down. You leave a trail of kisses down her body, from her nipples to her centre and attach your mouth to her clit. You grab a hold of her thighs and continue eating her out. She bends her knees due to the stimulation and grabs your hair again and pulls a bit. At one point you feel her legs start to shake and her breathing is quicker. You begin licking and sucker faster until she comes. You pull away when her body goes limp and then go to lay beside her and cuddle her. “You really are something Eva, you know that?” She asks and you giggle.

“Oh ya? How?”

“You really know your way with women.” She says and you start twirling a lock of her hair.

“Most women know their way around a woman’s body. If they’ve ever masturbated then they know. But I also know you and what you like and how to tease you until you beg.” You tell her and wiggle your eyebrows and she laughs.

“I sometimes wonder if you’re really a bottom.”

“I am, and as a bottom, I like to tease and please you.” You say and she smiles.

“Pleasing you is my job, what you do is exactly what I tell you to do.”

“Well since I made you come all on my own, does that mean I’m getting punished?” You ask her and she chuckles.

“You just took all my energy, so I’ll give you a pass. Especially since that was one hell of an orgasm.” She tells you and pulls you closer to her.

“Is the date a dinner date?” You ask her and she nods. “And where are we going?”

“Well that’s a surprise.” She says and you pout. “I’m not going to tell you, no matter how cute you are when you pout.” She says and boops your nose.

*A few hours later*

“So Eva, how have you been since we last spoke?” Your therapist says and you think about it.

“I’ve been feeling better, I met Melissa’s 8 siblings and they seem to like me.” You tell her and she nods.

“And how have you been with asking for help?”

“Still struggling. A lockdown happened last Wednesday, right before thanksgiving.” You tell her and she tilts her head. “I got PTSD as one of my brother’s and I were hostages in a bank robbery back home once. Luckily Melissa was with me when the lockdown happened and she was able to calm me down. I got triggered after when she went back to teaching and she was told about it by as student and she came running to help me as I had a breakdown. And she told me to lock up the library and come stay with her in her classroom, and even though I wanted to, I still said no as I thought that’s what a grown up would do, power through until the end of the day.” You tell her and she nods.

“Eva, I know you grew up faster because you helped raise your brothers, but sometimes, you need to be taken care of too.” She tells you and you look down. “What’s so bad about being taken care of?”

“Well I guess it’s not something I’m used to, and what if I like being taken care of? Like what does that make me then?” You ask.

“It makes you human.” She tells you, very straightforward and you look up at her.

“It makes me dependable on other people.” You slip out and you widen your eyes in realisation.

“Why do you not want to rely on other people?” She asks after a few seconds.

“Because they let you down.”

“Do you feel like your parents let you down?” She asks you and you nod.

You walk out of your room where you had the therapy session over zoom and you walk down the stairs where Melissa is. You reach the bottom of the stairs and you see Melissa sitting on the couch, glasses on and scrolling on her phone. You walk right up to her and sit on the couch next to her and she automatically wraps an arm around you when you lean into her.

“How was your therapy session?” She asks.

“Do you plan on ever letting me down?” You ask her and she immediately puts her phone away.

“What?”

“Will you ever let me down?” You ask again and she puts her glasses back on top of her head.

“I don’t plan too.” She says confused.

“I realised why I hate asking people for help.” You explain. “I don’t want to rely on other people as I think everyone will just let me down.” You tell her and she plants a kiss on the top of your head.

“Well I think the fact that I’m still here even after you broke up with me that one time, and almost a second time, proves that I’m here to stay and want to be here for you.” She asks and you move your head so you can kiss her. After you pull away, you grab a lock of her hair and begin twirling it.

“You really like to twirl my hair.” She says with a smile.

“It’s calming.” You say to her and she hums.

“Well you can twirl it whenever you want, I don’t mind.”

“You would if someone else did it.” You say and she chuckles.

“Well lucky for you, you’re not someone else.” She says and you smile. “Do you want a small nap before we go on our date?” She asks and you nod.

“Just give me a sec before I go upstairs to bed.” You tell her.

“Just sleep on the couch.” She suggests.

“No, I’ve told you that it’s not that comfy with the plas-.” You say and look at the couch. “Wait, where’s the plastic?” You ask her and she shrugs.

“You asked for me to take it off, so during your therapy session I took it off.” She says and you smile at her.

“You did that for me?” You ask her and she nods.

“I guess what the other’s say is true, you have me wrapped around your finger.” She says and you giggle.

“Others call it whipped.” You tell her and she rolls her eyes and grabs your waist before pulling you closer.

“Want to know what I call it?” She asks you and you nod. “I call it love.” She says and you lean in and kiss her.

“Not only did you take the plastic off but you did work on your relaxing weekend for me.” You tell her and she smiles.

“And it’s the only work I’m doing today. Now rest up and I’ll wake you in a couple hours.” She tells you and goes to get up.

“You’re not joining me?” You ask her and she shakes her head.

“I want to make a small snack.” She says and bends down to kiss your forehead. “Don’t worry, I’ll sit on the couch after.” She says and you nod as you get comfortable,

You fall asleep rather quickly and true to her word, after Melissa eats a small snack, she sits on the other side of the couch and places your feet on her lap while she goes back on her phone. After 2 hours she wakes you up gently.

“Mia Stellina.” She says and softly strokes your cheek. You flutter your eyes open and you look up to see her still on the other side of the couch with your feet on her lap. “Hey Stellina, it’s just after 3. I figured you’d want to wake up and have time to get ready. Our reservation is at 5.” She tells you and you nod while stretching.

“Why are my feet on your lap?”

“Because I put them there as there wasn’t enough room on the couch.” She tells you and scrolls through her phone.

“What do you do on your phone all the time?” You ask her and she looks at you. “You’re on your phone a lot.”

“Well sometimes I’m just scrolling through social media, other times I’m looking at recipes to try, and other times I’m just texting people.” She tells you.

“Do you have any phone games on there?” You ask her and she shakes her head. “You don’t have a single phone game on there and yet you’re on your phone all the time?” You ask her and she nods. You sit up and sit beside her and show her your phone. “I have a few phone games on here, you might like candy crush.” You tell her and open it up.

You give your phone over to her and she starts playing it. After 10 minutes of watching her figure it out she hands your phone back to you. “Youse young people have too much time on your hands.” She tells you and you snort.

“Says the one who mindlessly scrolls through Facebook for hours.” You counter and she looks at you. “Have you heard of this new thing called TikTok?” You ask her and she smiles.

“Of course, I hear about it from my students.” She says. “Not really new.”

“Well new for you maybe as you don’t have an account.” You tell her and she shakes her head.

“All those social media apps are the same anyway, just a different look.” She tells you.

“True, but it’s entertaining.” You say and give her a kiss. “Want to have a shower together?” You ask her and she nods before you both get up and head for the bathroom.

Melissa pins you against the shower wall and inserts her thigh between yours and you start grinding on her leg.

“That’s it, grind on me until you come baby.” She says as she grabs your hips to help you and goes to kiss your neck.

“Melissa, I’m so close!” You tell her and she smirks as she tightens her leg muscles.

You come on her leg and she immediately spins you around so your back is pressed against her front and she wraps her arms around your waist. She turns you both around so the hot water is on you to help you stay warm. She snakes her hand down your body and inserts 2 fingers in your entrance and you gasp at the feeling and arch your back. You bring your hand behind you to put it in her hair and she starts kissing your neck to provide extra stimulation. She moves her other hand down your body and starts rubbing your clit and you buck your hips. You come again and your body goes limp and Melissa helps hold you up.

“Take your time Stellina.” She says in your ear as you try to come down from your high. After you catch your breath, you both finish up your shower and then get ready for the date.

Melissa ends up wearing a new pink dress that she bought and it clings to her body so well and shows a good amount of cleavage that she knew you’d love it. And of course you do love it. As soon as you slip out of your room in a purple dress, you catch sight of her and your jaw drops. Melissa notices your reaction right away as she heard you coming out of your room and she smiles.

“What do you think?” She asks you and your mouth is dry. You have to swallow before you can even respond to bring moisture back to your mouth.

“You look…wow.” You tell her as you look her up and down and she smiles.

“You look pretty wow yourself.” She tells you as she walks up to you and you see her breasts on display for you to look at. “My eyes are up here.” She tells you as she tilts your head up and you blush. “Ready to go?” She asks you and you nod.

You both walk out of the house and you immediately clutch your jacket tighter as there’s a bit of wind and a bit chilly for your bare legs. She locks the door and then opens the passenger side door for you and you smile and blush.

“Thank you.” You tell her and she winks at you and then shuts the door when you’re in. “You know you don’t have to try so hard to impress me, we’re already together.” You tell her when she gets in the driver seat.

“I want to be a good gentlewoman for you though.” She says and then starts the car.

She drives you to a place not too far away, less than 10 minutes, and then pulls up at the parking lot. You get out before she has a chance to open the door for you and she rolls her eyes and shakes her head at your actions.

“What is this place?”

“It’s an Italian restaurant.” She tells you and you smile.

“I thought you didn’t like Italian restaurants cause they don’t make it as good as you.”

“And they don’t, but this one isn’t that bad. Plus you love Italian.” She tells you and you smirk.

“I do love Italian, I love this Italian that’s right beside me.” You say as both walk up to the front door and she laughs.

“You’re a goof.” She says and you open the door for her and she gives you a kiss as a thank you.

“Wow if I got that as a thank you everytime I open a door for you then I would do it more often.” You tell her as you both walk up to the worker to check in.

“You know I can steal kisses from you whenever, so you don’t have to open a door for me to get one.” She tells you and then she turns to the worker.

“Good evening, do you have a reservation?” The worker asks.

“Yep, 2 under Schemmenti.” She says and the worker checks and then presses a few buttons and a waiter comes over.

“If you’ll follow me.” The waiter says and you follow her to a table. “Here’s your table and I’ll be back in a few minutes.” She says and you both nod.

“So what are you going to get?” You ask her as you look over the menu.

“I don’t know, I honestly don’t know what I’m in the mood for.” She says.

“The risotto alla Milanese sounds good.” You tell her.

“It actually is good, it’s a classic Italian dish. Been around for a couple centuries.” She tells you and you smile.

“I’ll get that then.” You say and close the menu.

“I know what I’m getting, spaghetti ai Ricci di Mare.” She says and you look at the menu for the English translation.

“Sea Urchin spaghetti?” You say and look at her.

“It’s for the sauce.” She simply says and closes the menu.

The both of you talk for a couple minutes until the waiter comes back and you order your meals. The both of you continue talking about anything until the food comes out and you try it.

“How’s the Risotto?” Melissa asks you.

“It’s really good, but why do I get the feeling that you’ve made it better before?” You ask her and she smiles.

“Because I probably have. Want me to taste it and confirm or deny?” She asks and you smile before putting some on the fork and she leans forward so you can feed it to her.

“Mine’s better.” She simply says and goes back to her meal.

“How’s your spaghetti of the deep waters?” You tease her and she snorts.

“It’s good, wanna try?” She offers and you look at her. “Come on, I know you’re curious.” She says before she spins some on the fork and holds it up for you. You lean forward and she puts the forkful of food in your mouth and you taste it.

“Oh wow, it’s actually good.” You tell her after you swallow.

“This gave me two ideas of stuff I should make for you. I honestly don’t mind making every Italian dish just so you can taste it all.” She tells you and you smile.

“You’re like a siren, except with food. Like a food siren. You draw people in with your food and they stay with you just so they can have more.” You say and you try to hide your smile but she catches it and she laughs.

You both continue eating and you get an idea since you got a pretty good table next to a window and almost no one is paying attention to anyone else. You take off one of your shoes and you slowly slide your foot up her bare legs. Melissa is caught by surprise and ends up dropping her fork and looks at you and sees your smirk as you pretend you haven’t done anything.

“Something wrong?” You ask her, as innocently as possible. She simply glares at you and continues eating when you remove your foot. You end up doing the same thing a few seconds later but you go up further and she snaps her head up at you.

“What are you doing?” She asks you and you tilt your head.

“What are you talking about? I haven’t done a thing.” You tell her and try not to smirk but fail. You continue the trail up her leg and stop as you reach the hem of her dress, you find a way to keep going and she reaches down to try and stop your foot.

“You seriously can’t still be horny? We had sex twice today.” She asks you and you shrug.

“You shouldn’t have worn that dress.” You simply say and she rolls her eyes.

“I swear sometimes you’re only with me for my boobs.” She says and you laugh.

“We both know you wore that because you knew I would go crazy seeing you in that, because it makes your chest look even more amazing.” You tell her and she smirks. You end up sliding your leg even more and you reach her centre and she drops her fork again.

“You can’t do this here.” She tells you. “Someone might see.” She says and remove your foot, put your shoe back on and you move all your things next to hers and you go to sit beside her in the booth.

“Move over.” You tell her and she gives you a weird look before moving over. “What? You don’t want to sit next to me?” You ask her and she goes back to eating. You move your hand right to her centre and apply pressure to it right away and she gasps.

“Eva? We just talked about this.” She says with a glare.

“No one will see because my body and the table is covering it.” You tell her and she groans.

“Everything good?” The waiter asks and startles you both.

“Yep, everything is good.” You tell them and they nod before leaving. You continue applying pressure and begin doing circles on what you assume is her clit, and by her noises, you think it is. She goes to grab your hand but you change angles and her mouth falls open and her eyes screw shut.

“Eva, you have to stop.” She says in an annoyed whisper. “Why? Because you’re enjoying it?”

“Because we’re in public.” She tells you.

“What’s your point? People do things in public all the time.” You tell her and she lets out a small moan. “You’ll have to conceal your noises if you don’t want anyone to find out and if you want to continue.” You tell her and she snaps her mouth shut. You smirk as you know you won and she wants you to continue.

You continue rubbing circles over her dress while you continue eating and you can see her struggling to keep it together. You smirk at seeing her struggling just because of your touch and the fact that it happened so easily. Melissa places her hands on the table and is breathing deeply as she’s close and then she comes and a small gasp escapes her. You give her a minute to catch her breath and she looks at you to see you smirking.

“I fucking hate you.” She says breathlessly and you giggle.

You two walk into the house and you see her glaring at you.

“What?” You ask her and she walks towards you. You begin walking backwards and she traps you between a wall and her.

“I cannot believe you made me have an orgasm in public.” She tells you and you smile.

“I couldn’t resist, especially when you have your tits like that.” You tell her and you look at her tits that are right in front of you. She puts a hand on your chin and gets you to look at her.

“What if I punish you by making sure you can’t touch them the next time we have sex?” She says and your jaw drops.

“You would never.” You say sternly and glare at her.

“Oh I would.” She says with a smile. You go to touch her tits and she quickly pins them to the wall before you can. “I’m a woman of my word Eva.” She says and you widen your eyes before she makes you come twice and not let you touch her at all.

“That was so unfair.” You say as you cross your arms in bed as she comes to join you.

“Still complaining about being unable to touch me?” She asks and you nod. “Relax.” She tells you and you look at her. “At least I got the message across. Besides, you made me come in public or did you forget about your little stunt?” She asks you and you smirk and shake your head. “Alright let’s go to sleep.” She says and you both get comfortable.

The next morning you wake up before her and you see you’re face to face with her and you get an idea. You weren’t allowed to touch her last night so you want to touch her now. You carefully bring her shirt up and see her boobs. You drool for a second and then remember what you’re doing. You leave her shirt where it is before wrapping your mouth around a nipple and her eyes snap open. You begin sucking and licking her nipple and Melissa doesn’t stop you, she knows exactly why you’re doing it and lets you enjoy her body.

You both spend the Sunday relaxing like you did on Saturday, with the exception of a few weekly chores and before you know it, it’s time for bed as you both work in the morning.

On Monday morning Melissa is waking you up as you’re sleeping through the alarm and you groan.

“But I’m having such a nice dream.” You tell her.

“Come on Mia Stellina, we got to go get ready for work.” She tells you and you sigh before opening your eyes and see her looking at you.

You both walk into the break room and get reacquainted with your coworkers before heading to your classrooms while you go to the library. You then remember you have to ask Janine something and you go to her classroom as the students were arriving.

You go to speak to her but then see the same parent from Friday talking to Melissa and you freeze. Janine saw you coming her way but then looks to see what you’re looking at.

“Even if that mother is flirting with her, Melissa would never go for it, she loves you too much.” Janine tells you and you look at her. You go and tell Janine what you came to tell her but keep a close eye on Melissa and the parent the entire time.

At the end of the day you go to Melissa to walk to the car together and you see her talking to the same parent again and you cross your arms.

“She won’t cheat on you.” You hear Barb say and you look to see her a few feet away from you.

“This parent has been flirting with her since Friday.” You tell her and she shakes her head.

“And yet Melissa still goes home with you.” She tells you as she pushes you to go to Melissa. The mom leaves before you reach her again and you walk up to Melissa who smiles at seeing you.

“Hey hon.” She says.

“That mother seems interested in talking to you.” You tell her and she furrows her eyes brow at your comment.

“She’s interested in her son's education.” She tells you and you scoff.

“I can see that.” You tell her sarcastically.

“Did you have a bad day or something? What’s wrong?” She asks and you shake your head.

“Nothing, let’s just go home.” You tell her and she nods.

On Tuesday morning you watch from down the hall that the mom is talking with her again and you start to think. Is Melissa enjoying the flirting or completely clueless? You know that sometimes she can’t tell if someone is into her, you’ve seen it a few times when you go out with her, but she can’t be this oblivious. For someone so smart, she can be very stupid when it involves her love life and people’s body language.

During third period you have a chance to talk to the mom’s son while Melissa’s class is in the library and Melissa is helping another student.

“Hey Jordan.” You tell him as he comes to check a book out. “What a good choice you picked.” As you see the book he’s checking out.

“It’s for my book project that’s due on Friday.” He tells you and you smile.

“Well let me check it out for you so you can get started on it right away.” You tell him and he nods. “By the way, I have a question for you.” You tell him and he looks at you. “Your mom, I’ve seen her talking to Ms. Schemmenti quite a bit lately. Is everything alright?” You ask him and he thinks about it. You knew you have to take a different approach when asking him.

“Nothing wrong that I know of. I think she might be lonely as her girlfriend broke up with her a month ago and she doesn’t have many friends.” He tells you and you nod. You then give him the book.

“Well here’s your book and good luck on that report.” You tell him.

“Thanks Ms. Clarke.” He says and then goes to join the class.

You then think about what he said. His mom has dated a girl before and she’s currently single. Is she trying to flirt with Melissa or wanting to have a friend?

On Tuesday after school you’re watching the body language closely as Melissa and the parent (who’s name you learned was Alice) are talking. You see the subtle hints that Alice is giving. The stares, the quick touches, all the laughing at Melissa’s jokes. You know your girlfriend is funny but not that funny.

“Why not just talk to Melissa.” You hear and you jump slightly. You turn to see Barb there looking at you and you sigh.

“Talk to her about what?” You try to play it off and she crosses her arms. “I can’t because maybe she’ll think I don’t trust her when I do.”

“If you trust her then let it go.” She says and you glare at Alice.

“I trust Melissa but it’s the mom I don’t trust.” You tell her with a bit of a bite to your words.

“Either talk to Melissa or let it go.” She tells you and then leaves, not wanting to get sucked into more drama.

You look at Alice and Melissa talking again and you catch a camera pointed at them and you huff.

“Hey Eva.” You hear and you turn to see Jacob walking towards you. “Good that you’re still here as I wanted to talk to you.” He tells you.

“Of course I’m still here, my girlfriend is occupied with that parent.” You said a bit harshly and it goes right over Jacob’s head.

“Ok well I wanted to ask if you can maybe find all the books you have about world war 2?” He asks and you look at him.

“Why?”

“We’re studying it and then kids are surprisingly interested in it more than I thought. So I thought that if they can read about it then we can delve a bit deeper into it than I normally do.” He says and you nod.

“I’ll see what I can find.” You tell him and he smiles.

“Thank you.” He says and then Melissa interrupts.

“Hey hon and Jacob.” She says and you turn to see her there.

“Hey Melissa, I was just asking Eva to find me some books on world war 2. Who knew a bunch of 13 year olds would be interested in it.” He tells her and she smiles.

“A bunch of immature teens interested in war? I don’t doubt that with the games they play these days.” She says and then wraps an arm around your waist. “Ready to go hon?” She asks and you nod. You then both go home, with your mind thinking about that parent and Melissa.

On Wednesday you don’t bother checking to see if Melissa and that parent are talking, you already know they are. So instead you spend that time looking in the system about books on world war 2 to see what’s still here and what’s checked out. You see that some books about it are already checked out, mostly from students in his class. You grab a box and go to find some of the books and put it in the box and then Janine’s class comes in a few minutes later and you put the book searching on pause.

During second period Melissa doesn’t come in like she usually does and you go to text her.

You: Everything alright?

Melissa: Ya just swamped, staying in my classroom right now but I’ll see you at lunch 😉

You: Alright I’ll miss you until then

You text her and you don’t get a reply back and you sigh. You start to think that Melissa can’t be this oblivious as this is the fourth day that Alice is flirting with her. Maybe she’s trying to be nice as it is a parent of one of her students. Then you think that maybe she likes the attention and you put your fingers on your temple. You’re pretty sure you give her enough attention and you groan.

“Are you alright dear?” You hear and you look to see Barb there and her students run to the books.

“Fine, just still that parent thing with Melissa.” You tell her and she sighs.

“I don’t want to get very involved in your relationship with Melissa, but as you know Melissa is my best friend.” She tells you and you nod.

“I know, she’s your work wife.” You tell her.

“So trust me when I tell you that nothing will come of Melissa and that parent.” She tells you.

“Can I ask you something?” You ask her and she nods.

“How oblivious is Melissa when someone is flirting with her?” You ask and she thinks about it.

“Depends on the person flirting.”

“Well say it’s the parent that’s flirting with her.”

“I think there’s a chance that Melissa hasn’t noticed yet. We all know Melissa is smart but when she’s in love then she sometimes doesn’t notice other people’s advances.” Barb tells you and you nod.

“My girlfriend is too much of a catch, I shouldn’t be surprised other people want her.” You say and Barb chuckles.

“You know that Melissa has said the exact same thing about you to me.” Barb says and you smile.

“Really?” You ask her and she nods.

“A few weeks ago when she caught that parent kissing you in the library.” She tells you and you chuckle.

“I remember that moment.” You tell her.

“I remember Melissa talking to me about it.” She was pretty pissed at the parent.” She says to you.

“But I resolved it with her quickly.” You say.

“Yes she told me that, but it didn’t stop her being mad at the parent for kissing you. I had to calm her down.”

“Why are you and Melissa such good friends?” You ask her suddenly. “You’re like the complete opposite to each other.” You tell her.

“I guess that’s why it works so well, we balance each other out.” She tells you. “It took awhile for me to get close to her as she was on the last leg in her marriage when she started here and wasn’t really opening up to anyone.” She says.

“Well that hasn’t changed.”

“You’d be surprised, she had a bigger and thicker wall. She never would have become close to you or to the trio back then.” She says to you.

“Ms. Howard!” You both hear and a student comes running up to her.

“What is it dear?” She says to her student.

“Trina took the book I was reading.” He tells her and she goes to sort it out.

On Wednesday after the final bell rings, you take the box of world war 2 books and you go to bring it up to Jacob. On the way out of the library you see Alice talking to Melissa again and you scoff. You then go up to Jacob’s classroom and he sees you and takes the box from you.

“This is great, thank you.” He tells you and you nod.

“I saw that most of the other books were checked out by your students already.” You tell him and he nods as he goes through the books.

“These books are awesome, they’ll love it.” He says.

“By the way, I checked out the books under your name so if you lose them then you owe the money for them.” You tell him and then leave after seeing his surprised face.

You walk back down the stairs and you see Melissa and Janine talking. You then see Gregory walking past you and you stop him.

“Hey Gregory.” You tell him and he stops and gives you a weird look. “Just wanted to know how your goofball club is going.” You ask him.

“It’s going good, they’re getting the hang of it. They’re not the best with plants but they’re not terrible.” He tells you and you nod. He then walks away and you stay in your spot as Mr. Johnson walks past you.

“Avoiding going to her won’t stop anything.” He tells you and you look at him.

“What are you talking about?” You ask him.

“You’re avoiding Melissa, I’ve seen you looking at that parent and her flirting this week.” He says like it’s obvious.

“Melissa isn’t flirting with her, just the parent is.”

“Maybe, but she isn’t doing anything to stop it.” He tells you and your face loses a bit of colour.

You haven’t thought about it. Even if Melissa hasn’t noticed the flirting, she also hasn’t done anything to stop the parent from talking to her so much. You then walk away from him and you end up storming past Melissa and Janine. Melissa notices and she says goodbye to Janine and runs after you.

“Hon? Where are you going so fast?” She asks you when she catches up to you.

“To the car.” You tell her and she reaches for your arm and stops you.

“Are you alright? It seems like something’s been bothering you this week.” She ask you and you roll your eyes and walk away.

“I’m fine, just want to go home.” You snap and Melissa looks at you confused before following you out.

“Something is obviously bothering you so just tell me what’s going on.” She tells you.

“Oh so you’re not oblivious to people’s body language.” You tell her as you continue walking.

You both walk past Barb on your way out in the parking lot and she notices Melissa trying to get you to talk to her and you not wanting to talk.

“What’s going on with you this week?” She hears Melissa ask you.

“I told you I’m fine.” She hears you snap back.

“You don’t seem fine.” She says to you and that’s when you catch a camera filming you two arguing.

“Let’s just go home.” You tell her and then finish the walk to the car. Melissa sighs loudly and walks to the car as well. “I heard that.” You say without even looking at her.

“I would hope so as it was loud enough.” She counters and you snap your head at her and glare. “You should know by now that your glares don’t affect me.” She says as she gets her keys out and unlocks the car. Barb shakes her head at you two bickering like children and the camera crew goes to Barb and asks her if she knows what that was about.

“Just those two being completely oblivious idiots.” She says and then she leaves when Gerald shows up.

On Thursday morning you’re all in the break room and Melissa hands you a cup of coffee.

“Is your mood better today?” She asks you and you look at her.

“No idea what you’re talking about.” You tell her and take a sip of coffee.

“Hon I know something is bothering and just wish you’d talk to me about it.” She tells you and you take another sip of coffee.

“I’ll be in the library if anyone needs me.” You say and then get up and leave then Melissa turns to Barb.

“Do you know what’s going on with her?” She asks her.

“I’m not getting involved.” Barb says and then leaves to her classroom. Melissa then turns to the trio.

“Do you guys know what’s going on with Eva?” She asks them as a last resort and they all get up to leave.

“We’re not getting involved either.” Janine says as they leave the break room.

“What the hell? What does everyone know that I don’t?” She asks herself out loud and then gets up to go to her classroom.

She passes by the library on the way and sees you putting books away and then she continues the walk to her classroom to see some students there already, she also sees Alice, the parent who’s been talking to her a lot recently. She begins to wonder why that parent has been talking to her a lot recently about anything. She knows she’s been lonely since her girlfriend broke up with her, since she told her.

“Hi Ms. Schemmenti.” Alice says to her and Melissa forces a smile. She’s not really in the mood to talk as her mind is on you but she tries her best to listen.

She sees the parent walk away and she catches sight of you looking at Alice and then you both lock eyes and you go back into the library and she furrows her eyebrows in confusion.

Is something going on in your family? Are you on your period? A few of these thoughts come to her as she tries to figure out what’s going on with you. Of course she knows that you get a little irritated when you’re on your period but not this irritated but she wants to know. It seems that everyone else knows and that confuses her more. Like why would you tell everyone else what’s bothering you but not her, unless everyone figured it out on their own. But that thought opens a whole new can of worms of thoughts. She tries to put this whole thing on the back burner and just teach her class for now, she’ll try to figure it out later.

She watches you when she can, like when she goes to the library during second period like always, and during lunch. She notices you seem to be treating everyone else the same but you’re irritated or annoyed at her about something, and it seems like it’s been since Monday. You both had a really good weekend as you had sex multiple times on both Saturday and Sunday and you seemed fine. At home you’ve been avoiding her or just being short with her and she has no idea what’s going on.

She then thinks back on Monday and she doesn’t think about anything that could have happened to set you off so much. It seemed to have started after school on Monday and she wonders if something happened between lunch and the end of the school day.

“Barb if you know what’s going on with Eva then please tell me cause she ain’t.” Melissa pleads with Barb as they both walk to their classrooms as lunch is ending.

“Melissa dear, I do know but I’m not getting involved anymore than I already am. I already told Eva to talk to you, so it’s her decision what to do next.” Barb tells her and Melissa sighs.

The bell rings around signal the end of the school day and she sees you high tail it to the parking lot while she stays behind to see her students off. And as always Alice comes to talk to her and she barely pays attention to her. When all her students leave then she tells Alice goodbye and then walks to the parking lot. When she exits then she sees you talking to the trio about something and she walks up to all of them.

“Hey guys.” She says and you barely acknowledge her.

“Hey Melissa!” Janine says, as excited as ever.

“What are you talking about?” She asks and she sees you shoot them a look and Janine and Jacob start stuttering a bit over their words.

“Oh aaa… n-nothing.” Janine says.

“Nothing important really.” Jacob says after.

“I wasn’t paying attention.” Is all Gregory says.

“Ready to go home?” She asks you and sees you looking at something and she looks to see you looking at Alice again. “Why do you keep looking at that parent?” She asks you and you snap your head to her.

“What?”

“Alice, Jordan’s mom. You’ve looked at her a couple times. What’s going on?” She asks you as the trio leaves.

“Nothing.” You say and then walk to the car leaving an even more confused Melissa to catch up with you.

On Friday morning you see Alice trying even harder and being less subtle as she’s touching Melissa even longer and you clench your fists, just shout at your wits end. Unknown to you Barb is watching you with a sigh.

At the end of the day you lock up the library, happy to finally have 2 days off and you freeze at the scene you see. Alice’s hand is on her shoulder and it stays there and you see a camera pointed at them from the door.

You barely register what happens next but the camera catches it all in the background. It catches Alice and Melissa talking while you start storming over. Then Barb catches up to you and stops you. The camera sees you two arguing before Barb shoves you in the nearest classroom and she closes the door behind you both, Melissa caught none of that.

“You have to talk to her.” Barb tells you sternly and you scoff.

“No, that parent has to stop talking to her, and I was going to make sure she does.” You say angrily.

“You can’t go over guns blazing at a parent.” Barb tells you.

“Why can’t I?”

“Do you know why parents keep sending kids to Abbott even though it’s underfunded and poorly run?” She asks you and you stop to think about it.

“I don’t know.” You tell her.

“Because of the teachers and faculty members. They hear of the good things we do for the students and they know their kids are in good hands.” She explains and you’re wondering where this is going. “What do you think will happen or what parents will think if they see the librarian going up and yelling at a parent? Or even how that will reflect on Melissa?” She asks you and you freeze. You have to admit that you didn’t think about that.

“I don’t know.” You tell her and she hums.

“Dear, this has gone on all week. Talk to Melissa or I will tell her. She’s been asking me and the trio for 2 days what’s been going on with you.” She tells you and you look down. “What’s really stopping you from talking to her?” She asks you and you look at her.

“What if she should look for someone better?” You ask her.

“Dear, you are good and good enough for her, you’re exactly who she needs. If you can’t see how much she cares about you and being with you, then you’re as oblivious as she is.” She tells you and you sigh and cross your arms. “Go and get Melissa and go home and please talk to her.” She tells you and you nod. You then get an idea as you still see her talking to Alice.

You walk up to them and wrap an arm around Melissa’s waist and that catches Melissa’s and Alice’s attention. You see Alice look at your arm wrapped around Melissa and you smirk at that before looking at Melissa.

“Ready to go home love?” You ask her and she looks at you confused.

“Um ya, I’ll see you on Monday Jordan.” She tells her student and then says goodbye to the mom before walking out with you. “So are you finally going to tell me what happened this week?” She asks once you get home.

“That parent has been flirting with you all week.” You tell her and she looks at you confused.

“Who?”

“Jordan’s mom.” You tell her and she still looks confused.

“Are you really that oblivious?” You ask her and she holds your hands.

“I guess I didn’t notice, but I don’t want her.” She says and then looks at you. “So you’ve been jealous the entire week?” She asks you and you nod. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Cause it got in my head that maybe you deserve someone better than me.” You tell her honestly and she kisses your hand.

“Hon, you’re the best I could have, no one’s better for me.” She tells you and you look at her.

“You really didn’t notice that she was flirting with you?” You ask her and she shakes her head.

“Not until you mentioned it but it makes sense now. Why she’s been talking to me a lot and touching me.” She tells you and you snort. “Come here.” She says and wraps you in a hug. “If there’s ever a next time then please tell me right away.” She tells you.

“There’s going to be a next time, my girlfriend is too much of a catch for there not to be a next time.” You tell her as you pull away from the hug.

“You’re sweet.” She tells you and then gives you a kiss.

Melissa comes out of the bathroom in her pjs after getting ready for bed and you tackle her and pin her to the wall.

“Woah.” She says as she got taken by surprise. “What are you doing Stellina?” She asks you with a smile.

“I have been watching that parent flirt with you all week and I’ve had enough of it. You’re mine.” You tell her seductively and she shivers. You take her pjs off and wrap your mouth around a nipple and she gasps and bucks her hips. You switch over to the other nipple and give it the same treatment before you pull away and look at her and she sees a fire in your eyes. You then start sucking and kissing her neck while you start circling her clit and she moans out your name. “I’m going to make sure that parent knows you’re claimed.” You say when you pull back while still circling her clit.

“I think…you already… made that… obvious Stellina.” She pants out between moans and you smirk. You then go to the other side of her neck and start sucking. Once you leave two hickeys there is when she reaches her climax and she comes. You then put the strap on and you immediately insert it in her entrance and she gasps. “Oh my god!” She gasps out and you grab her hips and begin pumping. She puts her hands in your hair and pulls you closer to her as you continue pumping in and out of her quickly.

“Say it.” You suddenly say and Melissa has her mouth open and eyes screwed shut. “Say that you’re mine.” You tell her and she opens her eyes and looks at you. You then start circling her clit and her legs start shaking. “Say that you’re mine and you can come.” You tell her and she whimpers.

“I’m yours.” She blurts out.

“Come.” You tell her and her body tenses before she comes with a gasp and you continue pumping until you come a few seconds later. You pull out of her and take the strap off and she immediately picks you up and carries you to the bed. She puts you on the bed and you’re on your back while she’s on top of you and immediately kisses you.

“You’re hot when you get possessive.” She tells you and inserts two fingers in your entrance. You gasp out and you pull her closer. She doesn’t stop until you come underneath her and she pulls you close to her as you get comfortable together in bed. You both fall asleep right before you get a text from Marie’s husband Andre about secret Santa.

*Melissa’s phone*

Andre: Melissa you got Toni

*Your phone*

Andre: Eva you got Melissa

On Monday morning Alice definitely noticed the remains of a hickey or two on Melissa’s neck and it immediately backs off.

People in this fandom usually depict Tony as the one that’s apprehensive about fatherhood, while fatherhood comes naturally for Steve.

I respectfully disagree with this.

Here are my reasons for coming to this conclusion:

Even without Morgan, Tony has this naturally nurturing side that comes out with the people he loves. He’s definitely the paternal figure to his team; he pays for everything, personally makes them healthy smoothes, stacks the fridge with all their favorite foods, builds and repairs their costumes and weapons, and gets frustrated when they don’t follow the simple house rules (coffee grinds in the sink). Not only do his teammates sometimes act like children that need to be cared for, but he also has the bots to care for. He cares so much about everyone because he knows what it feels like to be unloved, and helping others also keeps his own emotional demons at bay. He suffers from anxiety and suffers from feelings of inadequacy, so he’s gonna initial freak over having his own child. Once the child is born though, he will see how naturally fatherhood comes to him Domestically itself feels like a reprieve from his chaotic life and for once he’s not constantly worrying about the future. After yearning for his father’s love for so long, he can finally heal his inner child by giving his own child unconditional love.

Steve originally wanted to marry and have children solely because that was expected for everyone when he was growing up. Then he found his own family in The Avengers and gradually started moving away from the idea of a traditional family. Tony’s self-destruction was much more noticeable, while Steve’s self-destruction is quieter and doesn’t get the attention it deserves, which doesn’t allow him to seek help for it. While Tony starts to heal, Steve only seems to get worse in the sense that he is ready to die without a moments hesitation. Steve is also younger and has had so much of his life stolen from him that he wouldn’t see the appeal of being tied down at least before his 40’s. He’s a romantic at heart but it doesn’t coincide with the way he lives his life. He has a big, loving heart but he’s also afraid of letting people in. As the team’s leader he is responsible for their safety, which of course weighs heavily on his shoulders; his alone time is vital for him to decompress and helps him go on pretending to be their unflappable leader. I picture fatherhood either being thrust upon him or him having a child when he is older and more settled down. If it’s thrust upon him when he’s younger, then he’s definitely gonna struggle with it in terms of how it pertains to his identity. He would step up to the responsibility and adore his child more than anything in the world, but fatherhood won’t come as naturally at first. Even if he eases himself into it, he can’t help but feel out of place in a domestic setting, which would lead to feelings of guilt that will turn into depression. Either way he will end up being an amazing father but not without struggle and inner turmoil.

[crazyinlovewithmarvel]

Hey guys. This is my first time doing this so, I might be a little shaky and sounding "rough" here and there. That's just because I've never done this but thank you for taking the time to read this anyways.

Now, this past week has been hectic. And I mean, hectic. Bucky winning the Golden Globes, Tony gaining many more children that he didn't know were genetically his, Serena being in a state of I have no idea what, and so many other things.

I just want us to take a step back and look at the week. The "good" in it. The warmth. The love. Everything that we've shared together. The small moments. The chaotic road trips. The silent streets. Everything.

But that also means we must take into account the negative moments. The upsetting moments. The ones where we feel bad, depressed, angry, annoyed, embarrassed.

Most importantly, what we can do better in the future. In the next week. It could be as small as giving someone an "I love you" message to as big as helping someone with their health via medication or via helping them vent something out to the world.

Mental health can take a big impact on people. Some play it off as if it's nothing, and I swear on my own heart that it's not just "nothing". It's a lot more than that. A lot. I've been there. I've been in that spiraling toxicity of self love and hatred and it isn' good. But you know what really helped me? People letting me know that they were there to help me. To make sure that life was okay and that it was safe and okay to feel this way.

And this is what I want people to think about and fr people to do in thenext week. To make sure others are okay, and feeling good about themselves. It could be as simple as a "How are you?" or a "Do you wanna talk? You okay?" It's so easy and simple for you to do. And that's what I want to improve the next week. Making sure people are happy and healthy.

Now, go and be the chaotic person you always are. Just, please, keep this in mind and check up on someone who may need it. You never know. Just be more aware and make sure peopleknow that you're there for them, if they ever need help.

Love you guys xx (again, thanks for taking your time to read this)

[summerofofelia]

15 day BL challenge time!

OG here 🤍

Day 14 - Top 5 most sad boys

Tang Yi (History 3: Trapped)

There’s nothing I love more than a bad boy who’s actually just a wounded little puppy in need of a cuddle. Abused child, adopted son of a mafia boss, forced to lead because his adopted father was shot, living a life of vengeance ever since, oh life has been so cruel to him. But then Tang Yi meets Shao Fei, who is a combination of a golden retriever and a box of fireworks and somehow, against every single rational thought screaming this is a bad idea!!! He falls in love with this chaotic ball of sunshine. And my sad boy finds a safe person that holds him in his sadness and tells him everything will be okay. He finds tenderness and warmth in a man he once saw as an enemy and it’s still sad but it’s like a sadness mingled with happiness. It’s bittersweet. The circumstances are still harsh and sad, but Tang Yi has found his shelter in the storm in the form of Meng Shao Fei.

Akk (The Eclipse)

There is something so heartbreaking and raw about Akk’s struggles, the way he seems to be carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, so terrified of letting anyone down, of letting anyone in. He has a hollowness in his chest, an ache in his bones, a terror creeping in that he’s not right and he desperately needs to do everything possible to make sure everyone thinks he’s normal. I adore The Eclipse series but the first time I watched it I found it quite triggering because I saw so much of my teenage self in Akk. It is a testament to the acting ability of First that he was able to so accurately and painfully portray the struggle of a queer teenager trapped inside themselves.

Kim Dong Hui (The Time of Fever)

Turns out I’m drawn to repressed characters desperately struggling with their identity, suffocating in shame and guilt, torn between their heart and desires and what they feel they have to do according to the demands of society and their community. HMMMM I WONDER WHY. The Time of Fever broke my heart and took my breath away, the way it depicted the pining, the longing, the hidden glances, the hope and the guilt and the breathless desire of the queer teenage experience was painfully sublime. And to be honest, Dong Hui and Ho Tae should both be here because they’re two parts of a whole heart, two boys who just need a hug.

Kenta (Pit Babe)

Kenta was either kidnapped from his birth family or sold by his birth parents into Tony’s crazy alpha children’s farm, abused and neglected his entire childhood and basically trained to be a guard dog and the saddest thing is he still clings to Tony and does everything he tells him to do because Kenta believes that his dad, despite everything, still loves him. When Tony rejects him completely, Kenta’s entire world implodes. Who is he without Tony? In one sentence Tony basically destroys this man’s entire life and identity. What’s the term… justifiable homicide? Yeah, Kenta did that. I got no qualms.

Hira (My Beautiful Man)

Hira is such a a tragic figure because he is someone that truly doesn’t believe he has anything of value to offer the world. It’s almost painful watching him because it’s so hard to see someone think so little of themselves. I just wanna give this dude a hug and the number of a good therapist!!!!

[lokilaufeysonslove]

Clint: Y/n, do you have a plan?

Y/n: Yes. But it’s like that children's game, 'Hungry, Hungry Hippos.' It's loud, chaotic and there's no clear winner.

Clint:

Tony: Okay, anyone else?

[ekat-fandom-blog]

Dr Wayne AU

Idea from this post.

Bruce graduated from medical school. He went out and trained to become a vigilante. He came back and things mostly turned out like the original universe does. Until Dick. The stress was getting to him. Gnawing away at his morals and last shred of patients. Mysteriously, the building Tony Zuko was in blew up and Batman wasn't seen again.

Years go by, and more mysterious explosions kill more mob bosses and super villains. No one connects Bruce to the explosions except for a malnourished street kid who caught him in the act. Smart little street rat that is Jason Todd uses this knowledge to get some food. Bruce quickly takes a liking to him and brings him home. Jason starts helping Bruce rig these explosions after a while. While setting up a bomb meant for their slipperiest evil doer, Joker, it goes off while Jason's in the building. Bruce goes a little crazy (or maybe crazier. who's to say) after Jason's death.

He meets Tim Drake at a function being held by Mr and Mrs Drake and notices some things. The first thing he notices is how similar Tim looks to Jason when they met in that dark alley. The second thing he notices is that the Drakes are almost always out of Gotham. The third thing he notices is that Tim seems to light up when Bruce mentions Dick. He'd love to just snatch the kid up and bring him home, but he couldn't. Not without a reason to keep the kid. It was just luck that one of the many villains still populating Gotham decided to target the plane the Drakes were on a week later. In his gratitude for the opportunity to take in the sweet child he'd found, he made sure the explosion he set for them would only maim them instead of kill them.

Getting Jason was amazing and horrible. The sweet precious boy nearly killed Bruce and Tim with the minor explosive he'd put in Bruce's favorite car. But that didn't matter all that much. By the end of the entire debacle, no one was hurt and they'd even managed to clear up some misunderstandings. Bruce had all of his children under one roof again.

He thought he had all of his children under one roof until he learned about Damian. There weren't any words he could use to describe how upset it made him to learn that another of his children were being kept from him. He did have to thank Talia, however. Without Talia slipping up to Jason about Damian's existence he wouldn't have known until one of the Al Ghul's revealed it to him. Tim overheard Jason and Bruce planning to retrieve Damian and revealed that he'd known since he came to the manor what Jason and Bruce did. Told the two that he knew how to help gather intel on the League long term as long as they could slip a microchip into one of the League's mainframe computers. The Plan went well, all things considered. Jason and Bruce came out of it with a few scars and a broken rib, which was less damage than expected. They sadly weren't able to catch many of the assassins in any of their micro explosions, but they overall won the battle.

After everything was said and done, Damian fit in well with their chaotically violent family. Even if he did prefer swords to explosives. It was much less strange than Dick's proclivities to only do harm when he felt it was strictly necessary. He gets it from Alfred, Bruce supposed.

[laraismissing]

I love your world building for creeps so much ( especially your OCS) I kinda wonder what the dynamics are between Lorraine,robin and Juliet since I assume they live together, do they all just awkwardly eat dinner together 😭 and any Tony headcanons, I just see him being edited to good luck babe constantly 💀

aaa tysm!! it always feels nice when someone compliments my ocs 🥺

So actually, funny enough, they don’t live together anymore.

Im still trying to figure out if Id like robin to live in a shelter, or live with will and jack. idk, shes still kinda in development within the world building wise?? that sounded so stupid but its 2am and im tired so i ain’t fixing it.

however, lorraine lives in a house in the slums. with her grandfather, brother, and five children.

Xander(10), Hunter+Silas(9), Salem(7), and Juliet(4).

they have a very chaotic family. think of white trash but just in a weird cultish kind of way-?? idk, lorraine is absolutely ridiculous and i love her. she adores her children and they are very much provided for and taken care of.

Gerald (lorraine’s grandfather) works as an underground doctor, and shares a building with forenzik. landlord couldn’t decide on who to lease it to, so they share the rent. each side belongs to one of them.

lawrence (lorraine’s younger brother) works with his grandfather, side by side.

and then lorraine’s .. well, a dancer, stripper, hunter, collector, other stuff. this woman does so much work it’s ridiculous. very chaotic family.

also honestly, i haven’t really added anything for tony. however, his parents are both beezlebub and mammon. he’s their son. that’s like.. the only new thing about him 😭. idk what else to say about him as of now.

[xerith-42]

Okay do, I have a few favorite characters from there and I will tell you why! (Also, I love the entire main cast and the show genuinely holds up so well)

1. David Xanatos - One of the best antagonists in a show ever created. Nothing he ever does in the series doesn't benefit him in some way and has some of the best lines ever written. Craziest thing is, you can't even call him a villain because he is just an antagonist.

" Pay a man enough, and he'll walk barefoot into hell" SIR SIR!

2. Macbeth - I am a Shakespeare nerd and he is one of the best interpretations of the character. Accurate, eeeehhh, amazing interpretation though l. Also, the first genuine anti-villain I have ever seen executed properly

3. Demona - Again, another antagonist but it's because all of the antagonists are written so well! There is not an antagonist in this show that I can't understand their motives, and she is also so hot. Just so hot.

I could have put any characters on this list because everyone is just so well written and characterized! The only show that does everything from Lawful Good to Chaotic Neutral to True Evil perfectly.

You have exquisite taste my friend.

Xanatos is one of the characters of all time. He's Tony Stark but with a rat tail, he shipped an entire castle into his skyscraper that is probably not structurally sound enough for that just to test an ancient spell, he landed the second hottest redheaded baddie in the series, his name sounds like an antidepressant. I love him.

Macbeth is such a good character, but he's so funny with the knowledge now of what Shakespeare's actual Macbeth is like. He wishes he could be as cool as this version of him from a children's cartoon in the 90's.

Demona is actually my second favorite character. She's so much of the reason I am who I am, genuinely one of the best written antagonists, and oh my god she's so hot. She is. So hot.

My actual fave is Brooklyn because stop me if I've loved a character like this before, he's a soft idiot with a heart of gold that wants to do right by people but also appear tough and be a leader even if he isn't sure how to do it. I have never liked any character like this ever before.

Goliath is my third because Keith David's performance is just that good

[anxietyfluffy]

my OCs sprites & suspect lineups!

(SPOILERS FOR GAME 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5)

Faye is the girlfriend of Duncan, and is a carpenter in white peaks! She grew up in Rhyne Canyon, so she tends to wear clothes made for warm weather. Her daughter is Cosette, a more quiet girl. Faye n Cosette met Duncan due to the fact Cosette was the little girl he saved. When he was in the hospital, recovering after being shot in the spine, Faye and Cosette constantly visited him, thanking him for saving the both of them. Soon, when Duncan left the hospital, Faye visited him a lot more, which lead to them getting feelings for each other - and lead them to getting in a relationship. The two of them were disheartened when they discovered Duncan was a serial killer, Faye never stopped talking to him though, even if what he did hurt the two so bad.

Here is Aliah Khan, an Arrernte-Aboriginal woman from Australia. She went over the the Concordia Flying Squad originally for training, until she felt a certain connection to someone - Diego Del Lobo. Though, sadly, she could not properly be with him, as she was stuck in a loveless marriage. Though, with the time she got with Diego, their relationship grew to be strong. That was - until he killed Charlie. In ways, she understood why he did what he did, there was no choice on his part. But, the fact he killed someone they both were close to left cracks in their dynamic. And it didn’t help she had to return back to Australia. Before she left, Diego told her to look through his stuff, to where she found a necklace and a notebook. Telling her to keep it, Diego wished her better times in Australia, and that he hoped she’d write to him. Aliah treasured that notebook - which was full of love notes to her, from Diego - and the necklace, passing the jewellery down generations to keep it - and really, their love, safe and strong.

Brutus & Apollo are the descendants of Aliah, Angel being an adopted brother in their family. Brutus is the leader of the group, and was a detective for Grimsburough, Pacific Bay and the Bureau before making his own police department in his home country, Australia. His best friend, adopted brother and co-worker, Angel, is a loud, party-filled kinda guy. He loves scene music and just being chaotic. Apollo is similar, a care-free man who loves a good swim and a good game of soccer. And AFL. And any sport you can think of, really. Brutus is practically a polar opposite compared to these two social butterflies, he’s practically a hermit, who sucks at social situations. Though, this is made up by his pure smarts and strength. But that doesn’t stop him from being a blunt, awkward man who swears half of the time he speaks. (Also, Brutus has Aliah’s necklace, he just keeps it hidden underneath his shirt.)

Cecilia Serafina Marconi is Ginger and Tony’s child, born in 2009, she is a more quiet child. Blunt like her father, she doesn’t really have a lot of friends. But, she does have Astrid, her absolute best friend. Astrid is a year older than her, and was originally living with her grandmother, Margaret Littlewood before the events of Dog eat Dog happened. Instead of a dog show though, it was a beauty pageant for children. (Yes, that absolutely makes the case more devastating. :) ) Astrid ended up getting adopted by David Jones, as her parents were dead long before her actual case. 5 years later, she ended up being the loud, comforting friend for Cecilia. They both are inseparable - to the dismay of Tony and David - and always want the other to be there with them even for the most random situations.  If you all have any questions or want to know more about them, ask away! :D

[kim-ruzek]

Thoughts on Sylvie and Brettsey?

Andrea did an interview and it sounds like Jesse will be back for more than one ep.

Thoughts on the maid of honour situation?

Honestly, I have no idea half of what goes on in Andrea's head so I'm not going to comment on that. (She's more chaotic than derek and that's saying something).

Although I will say this - If Jesse is back for more than just the one episode, it better not be because Sylvie is in trouble because I will riot. I am so close to my happy ending and I'm already worried they're going to nuke Sylvie's career. As much as I love and adore having JS on my screen, I'd rather less if it meant that.

But for Brettsey in general:

The best line for me was Sylvie saying she can't believe she's finally marrying Matt Casey, because same, girl, same. And I love that she's trying to find the perfect wedding venue that's them and perfect because she's finally going to marry her soulmate and goddamn it it needs to be perfect. (although poor Violet lmao, really should've kept her mouth shut).

I'm going to miss Sylvie when she goes, and I'm going to miss Sylvie and Mouch as a duo, as well as Sylvie and Violet and Sylvie and Stella (+ Vi) because I adore those dynamics but still I'm glad it's because Brettsey will be married with children!

I do wish we got a little more on Julia, but with the shortened season I can see why we haven't yet and also Sylvie has gone into her planning mode so it makes sense.

I love Violet being Sylvie's maid of honour (although I wouldn't have minded if it was Stella but Violet is the better choice) and I love how she asked her. That Sylvie had totally blanked on actually asking her and just assuming that Violet knows because of course Vi is going to be the MOH.

I also love Violet's face when she realised what being the maid of honour, and planning the party, means and I ADORED Stella's reaction (and Tony's lmao). Also Stella and Violet's interaction gives me hope CF won't just drop their friendship when Sylvie leaves, as that was a slight fear of mine.

Thank you for asking!!! I do so enjoy talking about my babies.

[mutantontheloose]

Hi!

This is a RP blog for my X-Men/Marvel OC Lina. I do not own the X-Men or the Avengers - this whole blog is just for fun! Both the OC Lina and the mod are over 21

Lina is a combination of Lorna Dane and Nina from Apocalypse.

She’s the daughter of Erik/Magneto - her power is Magnetokinesis like her father. She’s as powerful as Erik.

Instead of dying in the woods with her mother, Lina survived and was found by soldiers who gave her to Thaddeus Ross who had a telepath wipe her memories and put her on ice. The plan was to make Lina into a weapon to control Magneto.

Erik and Charles discovered this and rescued Lina, restoring her memories and raising her at the school.

Lina officially joined the X-Men once she finished school - taking the mutant name Magfire.

On a mission, Lina crossed paths with the Avengers and became friends/allies.

Personality: Lina is sassy and sarcastic, loyal to the people she loves, she’s fiercely protective of any children - mutant or human, she has a clear moral code, having come so close to death she loves life, plays bass and paints.

Appearance: Lina has dark eyes and dark hair. Lina has a grungy style, wears dark colours, has a tongue piercing and likes experimenting with hair dye.

Relationships:

X-Men

Erik/Magneto: really close to her Papa, Erik can be extremely protective at times, but he’s also immensely proud of Lina, of her power and her strength.

Charles/Professor X: Charles adores her. Lina got her strong moral compass from Charles and views him as a second father. One pout and “Uncle Charlie” is done for.

Peter Maximoff: Peter was so excited to have a little sister! Sometimes he gets a little insecure about how close Erik and Lina are but is quickly reassured by Lina. They play video games and have movie nights together - kinda annoy the shit out of everyone else.

Mystique, Jean, Scott and Storm: all like older siblings. Lina knows when she needs help they’ve got her back.

Bobby, Rouge, Gambit, and Pyro: chaotic best friends. Dubbed “Mystery Inc.” by Scott. Ride or die, fight together - no mourners, no funerals.

Avengers:

Gets along well with everyone, becomes a link between the two teams.

Good friends with Yelena, Wanda and Nat.

It took a while for Tony and Bruce to trust Lina and welcome her in, but her ability to help mend equipment in the field won them over.

Lina and Bucky had a slow burn romance. Mainly due to Bucky’s fears about being romantically involved with someone after all he’s been through. When Lina gets too boisterous and rowdy Bucky will grumble about being an old man, until Lina makes him crack a smile. (My Bucky rp is @justawhitewolf)

Steve likes Lina, he’s happy his best friend has found someone. Especially someone who helps Bucky see the lighter side of life again. Sam and Lina get on like a house on fire, both enjoy teasing the “grandpas” about modern pop culture.

Unfortunately Sam has walked in on some awkward situations…..

Hello friends, in honor of the 3 year anniversary of these precious souls getting their happily ever after and us as a fandom collectively screaming

I've decided to share some FS head cannons as a both an ode to my ultimate OTP, and something to slowly ease my way back into Tumblr chaos posts, because and I'm sorry mutuals, I've been in some unhinged pits these past few months as so enamored I forgot to share it with you.

So, with our further ado, Jemma's ultimate Fitzsimmons head cannons! The best 3 for 3 Fitzsimmons endgame celebrated years!

Fitzsimmons now own a castle they bought with Deke's billions, oh right, they also have Deke's billions because fuck you I said so. If you are wondering where this will be, well Perthshire of course, and if you're wondering, is there a castle in Perthshire Scotland? Well yes, yes there are. Many, I've been to three and stayed at a hotel in the fourth, Perthshire is a county of castles, and Fitzsimmons will own one for their children.

That brings me to head cannon two, yes they have more than just our pride and joy the princess of all love and happiness, Alya names-after-the-star-she-was-born-in Fitzsimmons herself. I like to think Fitzsimmons have two more children, a son and a second daughter. The son will be named Lincoln Deke Fitzsimmons (Let's not dwell on naming the grandchild's uncle after the grandchild). And the daughter will be names Sky Melinda Fitzsimmons. Oh and Alya's full name is Alya Daisy Fitzsimmons, yes they name both heir daughters after Daisy, no it's not too much. And also, yes the children will have the last name Fitzsimmons, and every fucking member of the team, will gush over it every time they visit.

Now finally, for the third and most chaotic head cannon. Fitzsimmons are chaotic visiting faculty at the New SHIELD Academy. That's right these darlings teach the bright young future of SHIELD, and they do it Fitzsimmons style with unhinged story time, impromptu visits from Bobbi and Hunter, and of course, their genius children popping from time to time to show up the twenty something PHD graduates, because yes, I swear Alya at six could probably stare down Tony Stark in a mental battle and tie (I have some limits). This teaching style is extremely popular and the entire SHIELD Academy loves them.

There we have it folks my three favorite Fitzsimmons head cannons in honor of the 3 year anniversary of our internal joy as Fitzsimmons shippers. Have fun celebrating this glorious day my lovely fellow Fitzsimmons worshippers!

chaotic book ramble so I can stop spiraling into the abyss: my childhood favorite books that I've been thinking about lately

I start college in four days, where I'll be pursuing an English degree. I've been both a reader and by extension a writer my whole life. lately, I've been thinking about the books I loved when I was younger that fueled this passion and thus helped me along to where I am now <3

The Land of Stories series by Chris Colfer. I still have my old copies of these books, and when I tell you they are well-loved, I mean they are well-loved. they're sort of fairytale retellings, and take place in the Land of Stories, which exists as a parallels world to this one where fairytale characters are real and living beyond their happily ever afters. the books follow twins Alex and Connor, who find out (spoiler?? lol) that their grandmother is the fairy godmother. all sorts of stuff goes down, and honestly I only remember half of it like a fever dream, but I remember really loving it in book five (?) when they get to meet the characters from stories Connor wrote. honestly, I probably read the entire series over fifty times, and that's not an exaggeration. first read them the year the third book came out, when I was nine. waiting for the rest was, I recall, absolute torture.

the Spiderwick Chronicles by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi. this is so funny to me, because these books basically set me up for my later teen years and loving the Folk of the Air series by Holly Black - but I digress. I first read these at age eight in a high-stress time of my life, and as a result they were likely deeply formative. they follow twins Jared and Simon (more twins ??) and their older sister Mallory (thinking back, she was absolutely part of my bi awakening). they move with their mother into the old Spiderwick mansion, and soon discover a fieldguide all about faeries and different fae species that live in the woods surrounding the house. I honestly think that the plot of these books is batshit, but I still sort of love them. there's a movie, but it's terrible, and aggressively condenses the plot into something completely unrecognizable.

Harry Potter, by... Harry Potter. isn't it great that, after his time at Hogwarts, he decided to write a seven-book autobiography?? so funky of him!! anyways - I read these at the ripe age of ten, and stuck by loving them since. HP was my first fandom, and maybe the one I'm fondest of (actually, thinking on this, no), and Hogwarts in general holds a lot of nostalgia for me. this being said, I still love the books, but I have to say that I reread them last year for the first time since I was maybe 14/15 and um. wow. Mr. Potter you are?? problematic??? someone please tell me why the adult man who was allowed to abuse children in a position of power for sixteen years got a redemption arc but the literal CHILD who was born into an abusive and power-hungry family didn't. also why is Dumbedore hailed as such a bloody saint?? he's worse than fucking Voldemort. I said what I said. also it's super confusing that Harry never mentioned in his autobiography that his Sirius and Remus were happily married and living at Grimmauld place. weird storytelling choice I guess!!

all those damned Warrior cats books by Erin Hunter. I swear to god these books had crack in them I ATE THEM UP from the ages of like. eight to eleven?? maybe??? genuinely, I must've reread them a hundred times, but I could tell you NOTHING about the plots. a few vibes, maybe, but zero plots. did they even have plots?? were plots a thing in those books??? how was I so obsessed with them???? funniest part is the fact that I see people talking about them on the internet now and it's just. insane. actually insane.

Lockwood and Co by Jonathan Stroud. full transparency: I read these for the first time at age eleven (around the time the fourth book out of five came out) and now remain an active member of the fandom. I love these books, and these characters, with my whole heart and I want nothing more than them to be happy. the Netflix show, though I have some pretty severe gripes with it, is still really amazing and absolutely deserves a second season. the books are set in London, where ghosts are real deeply dangerous, and follow the main trio of Lucy, Lockwood, and George. I reread them at the start of the year in preparation for the show, and they're genuinely just incredible works. I sobbed a lot reading them. they're absolutely comfort reads for me; 35 Portland Row is home.

wow. that was a lot. there's honestly several more I could talk about (School for Good and Evil, Percy Jackson, etc), but this is a long enough post for now, ha. love you all <3
