#when are we signing the besties certificate

[amid-fandoms]

oh he loves me so much <3

[brigatebajor]

so in my university you can do this neat thing that lets you display your chosen name on the uni's internal channels like uni email, website profile, myuni app, anything as long as it isnt an official legal document like your graduation certificate. so. after four years and with merely one year left of uni (<- me when i lie and severely overestimate my ability to take one years worth of exams in three months) i am doing this thing right cause im going to therapy and learning that i do not have to hide and cower in shame and beg for peoples forgiveness just for existing, you know how it is. right.

so my uni's website is a black hole hostile to any kind of intelligent life form which means that the steps needed in order to Activate this thing are a total fucking mystery. so i ask the Uni** Trans Council and they tell me to go ask this one professor whos basically in charge of the whole thing, which is a pretty normal occurrence in my university bc my university is held together by a pack of toothpicks and a bestemmia. so i have no choice but to email the man and ask him to help me navigate the dark seas of bureaucracy.

(picard voice) now gentlefags. idk how many emails yall have sent in your lives but i have sent one too many emails to uni professors alright. i have trained reflexes. i open up a gmail tab and my fingers are already instinctively typing Gentile Professore. i have completely lost the ability to write an email that doesnt end in Ringraziandola Per La Cortese Attenzione Le Porgo Cordiali Saluti. but this is different. this is me, a humble idiot, going to this guys house and kneeling on his doorstep begging for help, so virtually not that different from what im usually emailing professors for, but this time i can actually CHOOSE. how i sign the email.

i have two options: i either have to sign my email with my deadname, or with my chosen name. not as easy as it sounds.

my deadname is the obvious professional option, bc it's the name thats displayed in my email, the name youll find on the university records, the name youll find on my id. im obviously sick to all hell and back of having to actually SPELL my birth name like write it down myself as opposed to having to hear it passively from all over, which is not as bad as youd think if you dissociate enough, but writing it? thats the ultimate humiliation isnt it? so obviously id want to avoid doing that, but theres also the added factor of sounding kinda stupid - hi, i want a different name displayed on my stuff, but im not gonna tell you that name! hehe :3

on the other hand, though, theres that part of me with the autocompleted signature in the back of my brain that stops me short of just fucking writing "sam" on the email like a normal person. perhaps it's the part of me that says "like the dog in i am legend" when the barista asks me to repeat my name for the third time at pedros (we dont have starbucks here so we had to make our own brand). in any case, i just cant help but perceiving my own chosen name, the one that i am LITERALLY formally asking to have displayed on my account, as something thats a tad too silly to reveal to Any Public Figure. which is ironic bc bestie clearly that therapy is Not working

and btw, no, there is no third option. bc its a formal email and my uni survival instincts would rather stop the nerves in my hands from working before they let me send an unsigned email (unprofessional! youre gonna fail every exam if you do <- REAL innegociable truth of the universe), so my only choice is to die as a hero and never graduate again (because this is OBVIOUSLY what would happen if i broke the unspoken rules of a professional email to a professor whos not even part of my course), or live as a clown and deadname myself (which im used to, cause i Am a clown).

anyway so this is the story of how ive been staring at the unsigned email on my puter for the past five hours. how have yall been doing

Embryo #1 results

On Thursday 8 August 2024 I went into the clinic early for a blood test to see if I was pregnant or not. It had been less than two weeks and I had not felt any anxiety or anything. I was feeling very confident with what the outcome would be. I had done meditations every night visualising the embryo implanting. I did affirmation scripts about having a successful cycle.

We received a call early at 9am with the results - we were pregnant! It didn't feel like news to me because I was so sure I was pregnant. I was prepared for either outcome and could process the news either way on our 3 night holiday away.

I was so excited. I immediately familiarised myself with what I could/couldn't eat and followed that - I was telling people at the cafe that I was pregnant when ordering food so they would be extra vigilant with responses and actions. I ordered a pregnancy slip to go under my purple dress.

The following week, my excitement continued telling some friends 1:1 via face time. I ordered a beautiful purple onesie for baby. I ordered some hot cross buns made of felt - I came up with a cute idea that I'd issue this and say '[hot cross] bun in the oven'. Since baby was due to arrive on Good Friday ;) I ordered a sticker label saying 'baby brewing due autumn' to put on a beer bottle to give dad on his birthday.

On Thursday 15 August I went into the clinic early for a routine blood test to check I was still pregnant. I thought this was just to confirm I was still pregnant. I visited the GP to get a medical clearance certificate for my upcoming Pilates teacher training course. When leaving the GP, my phone started to call from Monash. The nurse asked me if I was in an ok position to receive an update. From that sentence, I knew something was wrong. She told me that my hCG had dropped from 62 to 1 and I was no longer pregnant. The drugs that I had been continuing to take had masked any signs or symptoms.

The news came as such a shock because I did not anticipate this happening. It was hard because I had to return to work and I couldn't tell my new boss. I wouldn't want to tell her anyway, and then additionally, she wasn't working that day. My immediate reaction was to tell everyone that I had told so I wouldn't have to face any future interactions to share the news. My bestie bought my flowers and some more flowers arrived from my parents in law the following day. (Note, during this time, my father in law was in hospital for heart surgery).

I also did a meditation to process it. I would've like some more time to process it all though the following days I was straight into Pilates teacher training Friday - Sunday. At least it was a good distraction.

On the Saturday, I had a headache and was feeling tired. I started a little bleed that afternoon. That means that my cycle day one came on Sunday. It was a heavy bleed where I was going through tampons/pads more frequently than usual.

On Monday, the nurse confirmed I was to resume taking the x3 estradiol per day for us to commence the next cycle. I'm grateful that we have more embryos that we can try. If this next embryo doesn't stick, then we will have to pause and do some investigation as to why it's not working. Because really, it should work!

Oats and Corey in…

The Cutest Cyldesdale Ever

Oats and Corey went on many adventures together including ones in the world of Webkinz and they had many new friends, it was only earlier in this very very year they went on a medallion hunt looking for medallions for Peter the kiwi bird, and after that they gathered up more medallions for a new pet friend. That pet friend was a Clydesdale horse which Oats wanted to get because the horse reminded him so much of his equine bestie Hoofer. The two of them spent quite a few weeks working on earning 200 medallions to adopt their new friend but they decided it was time to go through one big adventure to adopt their new friend.

“Mommy..will you take us on a magical trip to Kinzville again?”

“I sure will.’

Mel showed the duo a magical item which she used to make a floating carriage appear, the carriage transported the duo into the world of Webkinz, specifically kinzville. When they went to Kinzville, they went over to the house of Ellie the elephant and also Sidney the koala, they were all ready to go to the arcade.

Corey and Oats went to the arcade to play some games, earning medallions which they gave to the clydesdale and when they were ready to adopt they took him to Ms Birdy where they signed an adoption certificate.

“What shall we name this little horse?”

“How about Bojack?”

“Good idea Corey.”

Corey dubbed the new clydesdale Bojack after Bojack from Bojack Horseman and he hugged the new horse, Bojack was afraid at first but he learned that his new friends were nice and he played with them, they went gem hunting and shopping together.

Oats introduced himself to Bojack the clydesdale who neighed and hugged him. ‘You’re such a beautiful horse, look how pretty you are, I hope to be as pretty as you are.’ ‘You’re cute just the way you are.’ ‘I am?’ he nodded as he hugged his equine friend. The duo did a lot of playing with their new Clydesdale friend.

Bojack the clydesdale got to pick out the things he wanted for his bedroom and he even got to help decorate a special halloween ball room just in time for the upcoming festivities, he befriended the other webkinz pets and had a lot of fun. The group investigated a temple and went star-catching together.

Bojack and Oats bonded over being cute horsies together and even met other webkinz ponies that invited them for a tea party. Oats thought it was nice of the ponies to invite them.

After they had a tea party they went around looking for treasures, and Oats found some flowers which he gave to his new friend. Bojack hugged Oats as the two went for a ride on a flower cart while Corey played around and had fun.

A couple of hours later they stopped by Daisy’s Diner for some food and even made new friends, as they had a party at the diner and danced and sang. Corey caught up with Bojack and told him a story about what he had seen.

They had so much fun with their new friend that they felt like they didn’t want to leave, but when Mel gestured to them that it was time to go home they followed her and took off for home, but not before saying goodbye to their friend Bojack the clydesdale.

That afternoon they had some nice food for lunch and that evening they had some delicious food for dinner as they played some games and told the other microbes about what they had been doing. They listened to music and played for the rest of the evening and when it was time to go to bed, Mel helped them and they all snuggled up, snuggling up with her and they all had sweet dreams.

And thus with that another adventure comes to an end, but stay tuned for the 2022 Halloween Spooktacular as well as a couple more fun halloween stories featuring Mel, Oats, Corey and the microbes and all your favorite friends.

Genre: Fluff, hurt/ comfort , Omegaverse

Synopsis: The pack seems to be falling for you but Jungkook doesn't like it one bit. What happens when he learns you are his mate

You avoid the boys by staying at home. You don't tell your mom so as to not bother her.

Instead you crash at your best friends house. Yun Suyeon was a beta with an alpha mom (you had bonded over 'are all alpha mom's the same?' ) and you had been friends for a long time.

Suyeon though finds it a bit strange but doesn't comment on it and commits on spending more time with you.

"Are you excited for the college fest." She asks.

"I dont know."

"You should. Why don't you try for the Coordination. I'm in hospitality. Lim Suho is one of the heads and Kang Taehee is another they need more people."

While normally you would probably not consider such an intensive position but it didn't seem like a bad idea to drown in work.

"Isn't it kinda too much work?"

"Yes but you get certificates and stuff." She replies. "That's why I've volunteered for the social media head."

"Fine. Where do I sign up."

"Wait let me send you the link." She said.

After you submitted the form. Suyeon's pack mom bought snacks for the both of you.

You thanked her.

"It's nice to see you too. Come hang out with our pup more often." She says.

You nod politely.

"Don't stay up too late." She says as she leaves.

Suyeon hugs you squealing in excitement.

"We are going to be the coolest kids on the block." She says.

She notes you have put on scent cleaners. But before she can say anything about it. Her phone rings her boyfriend asking to hang out. She informs him she's infact with her wifey and thus is not available.

You dress nicely in the morning as today was the team meeting between the coordinaters.

There were four of you. Though you didn't know who the fourth was because their number wasn't saved on your phone but you were added to like 5 different groups.

After the classes were over you all had decided to meet at a coffee shop to discuss. Suho who the teachers had declared the main guy was the one who would bridge between the teachers and you all and you would look over and communicate with heads of all the other committees like decor, entertainment etc.

Suho was a beta and Taehee was an omega like you. The third member was Choi Yeonjun, an alpha.

You thought he was cute. You texted the same to Suyeon.

S: he's soobins bestie

S: should I arrange a double date

Y/n: noooo ... I'm just happy with eye candy

S: I mean let me know if you want a taste

Y/n: YUN SUYEON

S:😉😘😘😘

You had met at the campus and Yeonjun offered to drive you all to the cafe.

But Suho had his bike and Taehee had to go home for a change in clothes as someone dropped their drink on her.

So it ended up being you and Yeonjun.

"So ... what made you decide to coordinate? You always hide behind your bestfriend." He said.

"Just like that what about you?" You say.

"I like meeting new people. This is the best way to make it happen."

Their is silence.

"Can I turn on the radio?" You ask.

He does it for you.

It's nice not having too speak and the music is decent until Namjoon's favourite song starts playing and you abruptly turn it off.

"Is something wrong?" He asks.

Luckily the cafe is in sight.

"No just like that.. the cafe is here." You say changing the topic.

He nodded and the others joined you shortly. You soent an hour discussing themes and writing down important information.

"Let's have dinner together. Bonding night." Taehee suggested.

"I'm sorry I have prior engagement but I will pat the next time. You guys have fun." Suho says.

"Don't tell me you guys are busy too?" Taehee pouts.

"No I'm free and quite hungry." Yeonjun says.

"Me too." You add.

"Perfect!" Taehee exclaims and you guys go to a barbecue place.

You have a good time. Yeonjun takes it upon himself to serve. Its very alpha of him but you don't mind.

Taehee is good company too.

After your meals are over. Yeonjun offers to drop the two of you. You spend the ride discussing ideas and themes. Taehee is very excited for a more fantasy based one. Yeonjun wants a more party theme.

"Why don't we do it Russet inspired?" You ask.

Russet was a popular fashion magazine.

"That's super vague." Taehee comments.

"Exactly bur we can include different elements under one thing. And maybe people can wear things they already own instead of buying so it's sustainable."

"I would have never thought that." Taehee says.

"Yeah and we could get sponsorship from a fashion house or Paqsal Inc. ....they do charity galas to support initiatives like recycling and other sustainability endeavors."

"Let me text it to Suho. Let's run our ideas through the teachers. But the art department is going to be excited." She says. "We need to be very specific for the things to match and not be all over the place though."

"I'm sure we can do that we have like more than two months." Yeonjun adds.

Taehee's home is closer so she leaves and their is silence in the car.

"So?" You both say in order to ease the awkwardness.

You both laugh.

"It was genuinely a great idea." Yeonjun says.

"Thanks.. yours was nice too and probably easier to execute." You reply.

"All good things are hard work." Yeonjun replies as your house appears.

"Maybe.. but what if they aren't so great because they were too hard."

He shoots a concerned look towards your way but bites his lips.

Choosing instead to offer you a smile.

"See you later."

"Good bye, goodnight. See you later."

Taehyung had come out to throw trash when he saw you coming out of the unknown alpha's car. How he knew it was an alpha? Well no omega or beta liked that type of flashy car.

He wants to call you out but he can't since Namjoon has decided they should give you space. He thought it would be a better approach even Yoongi had conceded.

The pack house wasn't the best place to be right now. Jin had left to see his family. He had been very sad and even Hobi was very restless and short these days. Jungkook was still stubborn. Namjoon was was working himself to death and Jimin was stuck to either Taehyung or Jungkook. Continuously scenting.

Taehyung was worried Jimin was taking this very personally but he could do nothing to help except do whatever Jimin felt like that.

When he had talked about this to Namjoon, he asked Taehyung to take Jimin and visit their family packs.

So they had planned a trip. Taehyung had to guilt trip Jimin a bit but Jimin did need to be babied a bit and nobody did that better then their family packs.

But before Taehyung left he would give Jungkook a little something to think because that boy had done enough hiding after rejecting his mate when she helped him out.

If you were Taehyung's mate he would never hurt you like this or let you be away from him unless you needed to.

When he comes inside the house. Jin is at the window looking outside towards you. He can see the longing in Jin's eyes.

He let's his hyung be and looks at him. Staying with his family has turned Jin chubbier and his face is glowing except for the expression on his face. Taehyung decides to change it.

"Jin Hyung !!! When did you come?" Taehyung says.

Jin is startled almost falls on the sofa beside the window but before he can recover himself Taehyung octopus hugs him causing him to fall.

"I will break my back you brat." He says but Taehyung smells no real anger. Thus Taehyung pays no heed scenting his beta.

"Can't you ask me before scenting me?" He says only half serious. In reality Jin missed his packs scents.

"No, my beautiful beta." Taehyung says muffled against his skin.

Jin laughs. Alerting Jimin who came out searching for Taehyung.

Jimin was glad to see a laughing Jin tackled by Taehyung. Jimin too joined the pile.

Just in time Namjoon came to witness the happy site. He planted kisses on their head and was going to leave when Taehyung pulled him too.

Maybe things were a bit rough but it would be fine as long as they were together.

On the day they were leaving, Jimin was careful to scent Jungkook. Taehyung had gotten their bags and tickets. He entered the room where he observed Jimin sitting on Jungkook's lap. A flash of irritation arose.

"Jiminie." Taehyung called out.

"Yes Tae." Jimin asked.

"Go get ready. We have to leave soon." Taehyung informs Jimin flashing the train tickets.

Jimin nodded rubbing his scent on Jungkook for the last time before he left yo get ready.

" You're angry." Jungkook said scrunching his nose.

Taehyung wanted to agree but he also didn't want to fight.

"Why are you so mad? Shouldn't you be happy about going home.. are you worried about alpha's on the train."

"I kind of hate that part." Taehyung confessed but that wasn't what he had been actually bothered about but that was a concern too it had been a while since it was just him and Jimin usually one of the hyungs would accompany them. When they were younger Jimin had built enough muscles to pass off as a non omega, these days Taehyung pretended to be the non omega. Even though it was inconvenient he did secretly enjoy being able to protect Jimin as much he liked being coddled by his soulmate.

Taehyung sighed and let Jungkook scent him.

"I saw Y/n yesterday." Taehyung confessed. "She was with another alpha. It made me kind of thingies." Jungkook stiffened but did not say anything.

Taehyung sighed. Jimin and Hoseok had come back. Hoseok was driving them to the station.

Before they left Taehyung stopped by quickly into Namjoon's room who had an off from work today.

Namjoon's scented him and it made Taehyung feel better and he could finally enjoy the time in which he would have Jimin to himself.

Jungkook is stirring a cup of coffee in the kitchen when Namjoon comes down. Now awake.

"Wanna go on a date?" He asks Jungkook.

Who stops functioning for five minutes. Namjoon uses those to make himself a cup of coffee.

Jungkook knew Namjoon liked you when in his rut he could remember smelling Namjoon on you, so he thought Namjoon might ignore him to sort his feelings out.

"Ok..."

"Good!" Namjoon says smiling so brightly that his dimples start showing. He gives Kookie a kiss on his forehead mumbling something about outfits.

Namjoon comes out wearing all black hoping to match with Jungkook who had decided to go with the softer warmer colors in his wardrobe, Hobi who's sitting outside with Yoongi eating tangerines bursts out laughing when he sees them.

Namjoon smiles too when he realises what happened. Jungkook groans in embarrassment.

Jungkook starts the car as Namjoon sits in and puts on the safety belt.

"Where are we going, hyung?" Jungkook asks.

"I was thinking let's go to the beach, it's been a while."

Jungkook nodded and entered the location in the GPS. Namjoon played his 'driving' playlist.

The beach was fairly empty when they reached it.

They set up the little picnic basket and picnic mat they had bought near a tree.

After eating the sandwiches and drinking their beverages they lie next to each other staring at the sky. The breeze is lovely and the sound of wind comforting.

"I should have brought something to sketch." Jungkook tells Joon.

"Hmm." Namjoon acknowledges.

Jungkook cuddles closer to Namjoon. Its rare they have time together like this.

"Hyung... can I ask you something?" Jungkook asks and he hates to ruin the peaceful moment but his curiosity overcomes all.

"Of course kookie." Namjoon replies.

"Do you... you not like it that I've driven her away?"

Though he doesn't take your name Namjoon knows who he's talking about.

"I can't say I'm happy that our relationship is in strains but if I had to chose it will be you over Y/n. I know I may not say this often but I love you and I love our pack. This.. us. It means the world to me. Being pack alpha I want to be able to take care of all the packs needs and whatever the others may or may not feel about her she's your mate and I should apologise for bringing her to you in your rut but I won't because I couldn't see you suffering and as your hyung and your pack alpha I just couldn't bear to see you in distress or lacking."

"No you don't have to be sorry. I trust you hyung."

Namjoon ruffles Jungkook's hair.

"Why did you reject her, jungkook?"

"I didn't want her in the pack."

Namjoon nods.

"Remember when you joined the pack." Namjoon asks.

Jungkook nods. Ofcourse he does how does one not remember the best thing that happened to them.

"You know how most people avoid larger non familial packs. " Jungkook nods. " The reason we worked was all if us were in duos as friends before we decided to become a pack. Then we suffered in the transition. It isn't very easy to include more people in an already established dynamic. Then you came along like a Knight in shining armor. To be honest a part of me was jealous that even though I was a pack alpha I couldn't provide for my pack omega when a kid who didn't present did. But later I learnt that I couldn't be the sole provider and that it was ok not to be. Now I know this is something you lean and keep learning..Then came the part we decided to bring you to the pack. There were many concerns, your age, your presentation, uneven number of packmates. But you know who was the most willing to bring you in?" Namjoon prompted.

Jungkook shook his head no.

"It was Taehyung. He talked to me, convincing me. I even asked him if he was ok with no longer being a maknae. He was like Jiminie needs it hyung. And he was right but it also made me realise how cool our Tae is. Jimin is his soulmate and he didn't even care about jealousy or loosing Jimin. He just cared that Jimin be happy and healthy. I guess it did work out in the end that you could supplement each others need to be babied." Said Namjoon chuckling at the end.

"Taehyungie hyung told me he saw Y/n with someone."

"Aah." Namjoon drawled in understanding.

"I dont know how to feel about it." Jungkook said honestly.

"It's ok not to know. But if you think there's a possibility you want her then don't make her wait. "

"It's so tough." Jungkook whined.

Namjoon let out a small peal of laughter and pecked his baby alpha's nose.

"It's going to work out in the end and you have all of us to help .. anyway I'm hungry again let's go check out if there's foodtrucks that opened right now." Namjoon says standing up and giving Jungkook a hand.

In the middle of their journey back Namjoon groaned loudly.

"What is it hyung?" Jungkook asked sparing a sideway glance.

"I forgot to check out crabs." Namjoon exclaimed almost jumping of his seat.

Jungkook laughed.

Yeah so this one doesn't have much fluff with you involved but we cleared the air ig aaaand we have a love rival. We will probably be seeing more members but hopefully it balances out.

Hope you enjoyed and let me know your thoughts.

I would like to take a moment to say that I'm grateful for the support and that's the only reason I'm continuing this au honestly it was meant to be a one shot maybe 1.5 shot lol and writing this it's easy to get stuck because I don't have any idea where I'm going with this. I mean I had plans with alpha reader and beta reader.

Anyway don't be shy to drop in and say hi.

Until next time 💜

Kleo's journey to find out about her Ascendant ⬆ Sign

Let me share the detective work behind my Ascendant sign.

I don't know the time of my birth. It's not noted on birth certificate and mom doesn't remember because she was busy at the moment and didn't check the clock.

In my Citizen ID number there is number 23 denoting that I was the 23rd baby born that day in the entire country. Which made me pretty sure I had to be born in the morning because it's relatively low number.

I had a phone call with my father yesterday and I asked him whether he remembers the time of my birth. He remembered many details about that day - he was the first ever father allowed to stay in the room with his wife during the labour and witness the birth of his child in that hospital. It wasn't a custom back in the days for fathers to be present. However, it was such a traumatizing event for him, he doesn't remember the exact time. He thinks it was early in the morning but it was already light outside.

My mom narrowed it down when she remembered that she had a lunch in the hospital after I was born. She remembers what she was eating but she has no idea about the time of my birth but okay. 😂

So I googled the sunrise on the day of my birth and narrowed the time down to in between 6 - 11 am. I assume it was more likely earlier than later because you wouldn't be given lunch 10 minutes after you gave birth, logically.

This left me with my Ascendant Sign being one of these:

Aries

Taurus

Gemini

Cancer

Leo

Virgo

As said, the last two are not so likely. Also I don't think I'm such a full blown Aries to have Aries Ascendant.

I shared this information with my bestie who's an expert on birth charts and she said that over the time she knows me, she thought my Moon sign was Taurus but it's possible she sensed my Ascendant there. And we kinda agreed that the Taurus makes biggest sense out of these.

Today in the morning I was playing with my pendulum and because it has proven itself pretty accurate in the past, I asked wheter it's comfortable with me asking about astrology and it said yes.

So I asked whether my Ascendant sign was Virgo and it said no. And then I tried Cancer, again no, etc. The only yes I got there was for Ascendant in Taurus.

So here you go!

If you were curious about my Ascendant Sign, you know it now.

This is the most likely birth chart of mine. Like... It's not 100% but this is the closest I could get through my investigation and deduction. 😂

It was like a true detective work only instead of estimating the time of death, I was trying to estimate the time of birth. 😂

Okay, I have taken enough of your time now.

Thanks for reading this far.

Kleo has left the building

EDIT:

I have actually found a notebook where the time of my birth is noted down so this is my actual birth chart:

Falling for my Bestie

Jamie’s pov

Jamie was sitting on the couch, looking over the papers "legally he can't do that, because Kayce signed the birth certificate and has the rights to Tate. I'm gonna fight this for you, and make sure that Tate stays with you both. I'll represent you in court on Monday, and I'm not gonna stop until you have your son safe with you at home." He says, reading over the papers carefully and inspecting everything that is written. "Monday morning, be dressed accordingly and presentable for your court hearing. We are Duttons, no one is gonna mess with us." He says, knowing that he was the best damn lawyer in the state of Montana and he could win easily. 

Kayce's POV

Fighting with my tie for about two more times I run my hands down my face until Y/n enters the room wearing a flowered shirt and a skirt with some boots she borrowed from Beth. “I don’t you strangerling your tie baby is gonna make this go away.” I sigh, dropping my hands so she can fix it the right way. “This is stupid. I already signed the papers. He’s legally my son.” She rests a hand to my cheek, her eyes locked on mine. “I know that as does everyone else in this family. But….he’s also legally his father too.” Taking her hand in mine we headed to the truck with my dad and Beth following behind us. Jamie is already at the courthouse waiting for us. Grabbing my black cowboy hat from the dash I put it on walking to my brother. “My future with Tate is all up to you.” He nods showing me his folder with documents. “I’ll ensure you get to keep him. You have my word.” The five of us entered a large courtroom. Walker and his lawyer at the left table. Y/n and I sit down with Jamie at the right table. The judge sits down announcing to the room. "We are here for the trial of custody over Tate Dutton!" Y/n grabs my hand under the table whispering in fear. "Kayce, I'm scared." Those words send shivers down my back. She's said those once before when we were teenagers in high school. 

"Thanks mrs. L/n. I have an idea of where she is." I tell her mother through the phone riding on a horse out to our secret campsite. Y/n had gotten rejected by a guy she had a crush on for a year today during lunch. Dismounting my horse I push through some leaves finding her in our little clubhouse. Her knees hugged to her chest, lightly sobbing. "Ka - Kayce?" I crawl over to her sitting beside her. At age 14 she shouldn't be feeling like this. Staring at my bestie I clutch my hands into fists wanting to punch the stupid guy that did this to her. Y/n sniffs laying her head on my shoulder. 

"What if I don't find a guy who likes me?" Turning my head down to her I wipe away her tears. "That's ridiculous Y/n. You're an amazing person." She sniffs her cheeks red from crying. I put my light brown cowboy hat on her head, weakly smiling. "Thanks Kayce, you're a really good friend. I'm - I'm scared..." Brushing her hair from her face she shivered causing me to wrap my arms around her. "It's okay, I'm right here. I'm always here."

Y/N’s POV

Y/N gripped Kayce’s hand, slightly nervous as she watched Jamie stand up as she squeezed Kayce’s hand tightly as she saw Walker sitting on the stand as she held Evelyn who was sleeping in her arms while Tate was sitting next to them at the defendant’s table where Jamie had gotten a hold of Walker’s prison records and everything that he had been arrested for as she swallowed slowly while watching Walker get antsy in his seat as she knew that Jamie was gonna defend them, and make sure that Tate remained with his parents and sister as she sat in the chair and hoped for the best outcome of the trial for their 9 year old son who was just as nervous about this. She was on the edge of her seat as she awaited the judges’ decision to be decided as she continued to watch Walker as he spoke his piece as she held Kayce’s hand calmly

Tate’s POV

I don't want to be here. People are staring at me while the man in the big chair keeps mentioning bad things about the guy at the other table. My mom told me that my real dad lived nearby but I don't know him. I know who my dad is, Kayce. Little Evie is asleep in my mom's arms. Wrapping my arms around myself I just want to go home. The ranch is fun and not scary like this place is to a nine year old. "We will have a short lunch!" The big guy bangs something on the stand. Dad picked me up carrying me out as I saw my uncle Jamie flipping through papers. "Daddy, when can we go home?" He sighs whispering to me while mom stares at grandpa and auntie Beth. "Soon son. Hopefully real soon."

Y/N’s POV

Y/N noticed the upset in our son’s voice, looking at him as she was fighting back tears as she looked at our son “come here son, come sit with your mama. She has some stuff to tell you about your real father, stuff that i figured you should know about now that you are old enough to understand it” She says, her eyes filling with tears as she took a deep breath “you’re real daddy is a bad man, and he went to jail. So you have only known Kayce as your daddy, and that’s how i had hoped to keep it but now your real father wants full custody of you, and mama is fighting so hard to keep that from happening because you have loved living on the ranch and i want you to live there. You belong there, with your pony and your grandpa. This is our home, and we aren’t gonna stop fighting till you are home with us”

Kayce’s POV

Reentering the courtroom for the trial the judge decision is announced. "Hearing all the evidence it is clear that Tate Dutton belongs with his rightful father…" Y/n squeezes my hand tightly and Tate does the same to my other one. "His rightful father is Kayce John Dutton. Let us recognize that Walker is also his father by blood. This trial is dismissed." I feel my shoulders drop in relief picking Tate up smiling and he laughs alongside me. "Grandpa, auntie Beth!" He races hugging the pair. Y/n wipes away happy tears until I hear loud footsteps coming towards us. "You're no better than me Dutton. You've done things that would put you in prison if it weren't for your brother!" Spinning on my feet I see Walker who throws a punch but I block it. He tried hitting me again so I twisted his arm behind his back. "Picking a fight with the Livestock commissioner isn't a good choice Walker. Besides, I fought for this country!" I growled until he elbowed me hard in the rib making me drop. "Walker quit it!" Y/n cried pushing in between us but he threw her backwards making me punch him in his jaw. He grunts, tackling me onto the floor punching me in the nose. Jamie tried breaking up the fight but Walker grabbed his briefcase from his hands hitting me in the head. I hear a loud ringing in my ear and my vision blurs seeing Beth kick Walker in the nuts before security arrives. Y/n rushed over tears in her eyes. "Kayce, Kayce!" But I close my eyes, the pain being too much.

Comments welcome 🤗

[blouisparadise]

We recently received a request for enemies and lovers recs. We already have an enemies to lovers fic rec list here, but after looking at that list, we realized we had much more to add to it and therefore decided to make a part two.

Happy reading!

1) I Couldn’t Get Away From You | Mature | 5185 words

Suddenly in the heat of the moment, Harry’s eyes turned darker as he pushed Louis’ back more and more towards the wall. “Fine.” He plants his lips on Louis’ and begins to roughly kiss him, soon enough turning it into a make-out session.

“Fuck you, Styles,” Louis moans and grips onto Harry’s shoulders, hands trailing up to the taller’s hair and gripping that as well.

“We’ll see about that.”

2) There's More Than One Place To Call Home | Explicit | 8416 words

Harry never asked for much from his neighbors - he didn't care about barking animals during the day or loud talking during the night.

The only thing he needed was silence when he was writing. And that was the only thing his new neighbor wouldn't give him.

Deciding to confront the loud guy who lived next door, Harry found himself ringing his doorbell one night. And that decision just may be the best thing that's ever happened to Harry.

3) Make A Run, Cause Some Rebellion | Explicit | 8824 words

As a general rule, kitten hybrids are small and disinterested in what other people want them to do, slightly evil and at least a little manipulative. Louis prides himself on being all of those things to varying degrees, but especially on being uninterested in what other people tell him to do. He’s still human goddammit, despite his pointy ears and penchant for curling up in the sun and taking naps.

He’s going about his daily business, knocking things over where he sees fit and leaving a trail of mess in his wake. As exasperated as it makes Liam he’s used to it by now, having shared a flat with Louis for almost three years now, and if Louis whines enough he’ll even clean up after him. It’s a great life, really.

With the exception of Liam’s stupid, broad shouldered, entirely too big mate, the one who always comes over to watch sports with him. Louis hates that guy. His hair is always greasy and he brings weird hipster beer with him when he comes that tastes like shit. And he won’t even let Louis have any of it, either. The only reason Louis even knows what it tastes like is because one time he stole a bottle from the fridge and fled to his room before Harry could catch him.

4) Something To Prove | Explicit | 9425 words

Louis is the first and only omega to work at Red Valley Medical Center. Despite being more than qualified, he still faces prejudice for his career choice everyday. From patients refusing his treatment to condescending alpha doctors intervening with his work, practicing medicine in Boston is more challenging than Louis had ever thought it would be.

5) Where Do We Go Now | Explicit | 10617 words

Louis goes off to college ready to start a fresh life away from the oppressive alphas of his pack.  The odds aren't in his favour when his new dorm mate turns out to be an alpha.  Louis hates alphas.

6) Enjoy The Ride | Not Rated | 11103 words

The one where Louis, an omega more than tired of being treated as lesser than alphas, is forced on a road trip by his beta besties only to meet Harry who might just be the alpha he never knew he wanted.

7) I Didn’t Fall For You (You Fucking Tripped Me) | Explicit | 20681 words

These days Louis tends to steer clear of dating alphas. He’s dated too many knotheads in his time, and he’s ready to just focus on school and his friends and his pet monitor lizard, of course.

Too bad the alpha next door won’t take a hint and stop using the worst pick up lines of all time on him. He’s really got to stop laughing with him--and talking to him and walking to class with him and letting him bring him coffee and tea and gifts for his lizard and watching Netflix together and...

8) Written In The Stars (That’s You And Me) | Explicit | 22632 words

Louis pushes himself up on one elbow and stretches enough to just barely trace his fingertips over Harry’s jawline. Harry’s eyes drop to track his movements as he does it again. “D’you feel that?” he whispers.

To him, it feels like all of the universe’s magic lives just beneath his skin when he touches Harry with intent. It feels like something special. Louis watches Harry’s lips part and wants to touch that too. He almost does, but then Harry shakes his head. “Feel what?”

6) Middle Ground | Explicit | 23516 words

Note: This fic has been locked and can only be read by AO3 users.

Harry moves to a new town for work where he meets the enigma that is Louis Tomlinson.

10) When It’s Late At Night | Mature | 25597 words

The Late Late prompt that we all need to get through this excruciatingly hard time.

11) Supposed To Be | Explicit | 26100 words

The Geek Charming AU where Harry's a film geek, Louis' a popular jock, and they both need each other to get what they want.

12) Magical Soup | Explicit | 28850 words

Slytherin prefect Louis Tomlinson's seventh year at Hogwarts takes an immediate turn for the worse when he's made to be potions partners with Harry Styles, Hufflepuff's resident heartthrob and class clown.  Louis has always considered Styles to be a terrible show-off who coasts by on his charm and good looks, but the more they work together, the more he questions that idea.  As term goes on, will Louis be able to admit to himself that he might actually like Harry Styles after all... and maybe, just maybe, as more than a friend?

13) Building Me Up (But Buttercup, You Lied) | Explicit | 31007 words

Harry’s mouth felt dry just saying those words. What he had with Louis was so much more than a simple ‘fuck buddies’ situation. It was slow kisses in the morning between soft sheets and shy smiles, it was holding hands in the afternoon while walking and eating ice cream. It was breakfast for dinner, laughing and licking honey from each other’s lips as they shared goals and even some secrets, it was happiness, it was glow.

To Harry, what he had with Louis meant everything. Until Louis decided it meant nothing.

14) You’ve Set On Me | Explicit | 31100 words

Louis' in an obscure band. Harry's an international popstar. Their paths aren't meant to cross, not like this, but when Louis' band signs on as Harry's opening act, both Harry and Louis are forced to confront the open wounds of their shared past.

15) Nicotine | Explicit | 32245 words | Sequel

18) Make This Feel Like Home | Explicit | 42032 words

The house on West 28th Street in London is twice the size of Louis', more expensive than the price of all of his house and car payments combined, and is falling apart at the seams.

19) Strangers in Love | Explicit | 42207 words

Louis wakes up to find himself in a marriage with the last man he thought he'd ever end up with.

10) Why Can’t It Be Like That | Explicit | 63567 words

A fashion AU with a royal twist, where Louis doesn't need a stylist, Harry's thrilled to have a real life Barbie doll, and they're both very wrong about each other.

21) I Want You So Much (But I Hate Your Guts) | Mature | 83648 words

AU in which Louis gets accepted to play for the Manchester University Alpha-Beta Football Team. The only problem: Louis is actually an Omega. He is determined to make it big in the football world, though, and he can't do that bound to an Omega team. With the help of a faked doctor's certificate and some pretty strong suppressants he is ready to fight for his dream.

That Harry Styles (Alpha, second year and youngest football captain of the A-B team in ages) doesn't seem to like him complicates matters, though.

22) For Reasons Wretched and Divine | Explicit | 94655 words

Note: This fic is locked and can only be read by AO3 users.

Ten years ago, Harry Styles was just a nerdy kid with one friend and a debilitating crush on the captain of his school’s football team. He thought the stars were smiling down on him the day he and Louis Tomlinson were paired for their end-of-term Literature project. But because Harry’s life is decidedly not a fairytale, the budding friendship quickly leads to the least happy ending of all time.

Now, Harry Styles is a household name. Barely twenty-seven with two Grammy nominations to his name, the singer-songwriter is poised to take the music industry by storm with his highly anticipated third album. So, what happens when the best producer in the business is also the only person Harry’s vowed never to speak to again?

23) You Drive Me Crazy (But It Feels Alright) | Explicit | 102306 words

Note: This fic has mentions of BH.

“Harry is not short for Harold,” he corrects, his voice as thick as molasses. He lowers his eyes to Louis’ sequined lapels, rubbing one between two fingers. “Is this small or extra small? It looks lovely.”

Louis breaks away from his grip with a petulant huff and pushes him back with two fingers.

“You’re mocking me. Again.”

Harry smiles and it's a real honest swoop of his lips this time. Louis’ stomach swoops with them.

24) Tainted Saints And Velvet Vices | Mature | 126056 words

A self-fulfilling Hogwarts AU in which Louis is new to seventh year and Harry is the resident devil-may-care Slytherin set to make his entire experience a living misery. Due to less than favourable circumstances they're forced to forge an unwilling, tentative relationship for their own survival. Repressed emotions, decidedly unromantic ballroom dancing, Triwizard Tournament tasks, creative jinxes and twilight flying above the Forbidden Forest ensue.

[pomegranate-belle]

happy new year! for the prompt game thing: mattfoggy, soulmates!au, fake dating, prompt 19? 😂

Fake Dating + Soulmates AU = Fake Soulmates AU, right?? Right?? Anyway this took too long because it spiraled out of control and now it’s 2k+ words and there’s like four or five more snippets of future scenes in this AU hiding in my notes app now, lmao

(Also, apologies to anyone reading this who’s named Stephanie, lol)

—

It all starts because Matt is a flirty bastard who gravitates towards women that are capital-T Trouble like a child in galoshes gravitates towards puddles. That is — eagerly, enthusiastically, and with precisely zero regard for the people in the splash zone.

Foggy, who has become a permanent resident of the splash zone, is best friends with him anyway, for some unfathomable reason.

Which is a mean thing to think. It’s not unfathomable. Matt is funny and whip-smart and a big nerd and he just gets Foggy, and his smile...

Anyway, life in the splash zone is worth it. Just, you know, it’s hard to remember that after your bestie’s date steals your wallet or gets you sexiled or stuck in the middle of a bar fight that is definitely not your fault. Or, apparently, tries to swap out the non-accessible petition form your (blind, by the way) best friend means to sign with a marriage certificate.

Yeah. Really. That’s the level of what-the-fuckery they’ve reached now.

“I think I need your help with this one,” Matt says with a grimace.

“You didn’t actually end up signing it, did you?” asks Foggy, because, well, with their luck who knows.

But Matt shakes his head.

“No, it’s just. Uh... I, um, don’t think she’s going to stop.”

Maybe Foggy should just smother himself with his pillow. Or smother Matt with his pillow. The second one seems like it would solve a lot more problems, since this mess is entirely Matt’s fault.

“And what, exactly, do you expect me to do about that, Matthew!” he demands. “You’re the one who decided to sleep with Stephanie Jenkins even after I warned you about her crazy eyes!”

“And I’m sorry I didn’t believe you, ok? You told me so, is that what you want to hear?” Matt all but whines, burying his face in his arms just enough to leave his eyes peeking out.

He’s on his bed, head towards the footboard and rolled onto his stomach for maximum cuteness. His eyes aren’t quite pointed the right direction, but that hardly matters. Matt’s pleading expressions are more effective even when they’re aimed a little right of their target than anybody else’s could be from straight on.

“Ugh.”

“Foggy, come on.”

“Ughhhhh.”

“Foggy.”

Matt’s big, wide sad-puppy-dog eyes get impossibly bigger and wider.

“Ok, ok! Fine, I’ll help! Stop pouting, jeez,” Foggy concedes in the face of Matt’s pleading expression and general air of hopelessness. “But don’t expect me to come up with a plan or anything, she’s yourcreepy hookup.”

Matt’s posture changes immediately now that he’s gotten what he wants. He goes up on his elbows, grinning the grin that always means chaos is coming.

“Gotta pull out the big guns for this one,” he claims. “Even she’d have to back off over a soulmate match.”

Foggy, who has maybe spent the past year and a half idly checking his skin for a mark that could potentially tie him to Matt, feels his stomach flip uncomfortably.

“You’re not suggesting...” His throat goes dry. “You and I fake being...”

“Well, I need someone in on it with me who won’t get the wrong idea,” explains Matt, cheerful as can be while he crushes Foggy’s stupid heart into tiny little pieces.

Foggy swallows hard.

“Yeah, um. Makes sense,” he croaks out.

“Good,” says Matt, all business, sitting up fully and holding out a box. “I already borrowed some temporary tattoo pens off Marci, and she promised to keep our secret if we buy her drinks next weekend.”

“Why does Marci have temporary tattoo pens?” asks Foggy as he gets up off his own bed and accepts them, since it seems like the most innocuous of all the questions rattling around in his head.

“To take notes on her arms, apparently,” Matt replies.

“Yeah, that tracks.”

Marci’s the kind of person who could get away with slightly-eccentric behavior like that, mostly because she was dead terrifying. And also hot. She was the kind of person people wanted to step on them. Not that Foggy did. Or anything.

“Anyway,” Foggy said, maybe a little too loud, clearing his throat. “Where is it you want your soulmark, then?”

“Umm.” Matt tilts his head. “My... Arm, I guess? Isn’t that the best place to make it visible for Stephanie? I mean. Where did you think I wanted it, my butt?”

As Matt asks the question, his ears go a little pink, which offsets his sarcasm and is also hilariously adorable. Matt’s a cool guy, but he also spent like ten years surrounded by nuns, and every so often that becomes very, very clear. It’s definitely one of Foggy’s favorite things about Matt. Well, along with literally everything else about Matt. He grins.

“No offense, buddy, but you definitely are the kind of person who’d have one on your butt.”

“I am not!” laughs Matt. “What does that, what does that even mean?”

“Listen, Murdock, some people are just butt-soulmark people, that’s all. Nothing to be ashamed of.”

“Shut up,” Matt says, his voice still bright with humor. “It’s going on my arm.”

He shoves up the sleeve of his slightly-baggy sweater and holds out his right arm, palm up. So, Foggy digs around in the box of temporary tattoo pens until he finds one with black ink, and then settles next to Matt on the bed. Once he’s got himself in a good position, he accepts Matt’s arm, grabs it gently by the wrist to draw it down onto his lap.

And it’s like it finally sinks in, what he’s about to do. He’s going to literally mark Matt Murdock as his — never mind that it’s a farce to get rid of some creepy chick, or what Matt said about not getting the wrong idea. In a very real and physical sense, he’s about to draw something that will bind them together, at least in everyone else’s eyes. This goes way beyond bar napkin doodles, beyond wistful musings about Nelson and Murdock. People are going to see this mark and know—

They’re going to know what Foggy’s been trying not to know for a long time now. That he’s hopelessly, irrevocably, pathetically in love with Matt.

“What should it be?” Foggy asks, heart thundering in his chest as he holds the pen in one hand and the soft, pale expanse of Matt’s upturned arm in the other.

The smile on Matt’s face looks sweet and coy. A knock-out punch disguised as a cool, sweet drink. And as much as he pretends he’s a beer and cheap whiskey man, Foggy’s always been a sucker for the kind of fruity cocktails that knock him on his ass.

“Something fitting.”

“Gee, why didn’t I think of that,” mutters Foggy. “Speak now or I’m giving you an avocado.”

Matt tries halfheartedly to tug his arm away, laughing.

“No way, not an avocado. Something serious! Like... Scales of justice.”

“I see your hard-on for Lady Justice hasn’t diminished at all,” Foggy jokes, but begins drawing the scales anyway.

It takes enough focus that he’s able to override any feelings of embarrassment. And then he’s scrawling the same design onto his own skin, his left arm and Matt’s right pressed side-by-side as they lie across Foggy’s knee. Finally, it’s done and he caps the pen.

“Perfect,” he says, pleased, as he compares the two marks. “They’re identical. Suck on that, Mr. Trenkamp, I can too draw straight lines.”

Is it the height of maturity to invoke your hated fourth grade art teacher like ten years after he first insulted your mediocre art skills? No. But being the height of maturity is lame anyway, Foggy decides.

“I’ll have to take your word for it,” jokes Matt, and his expression is so soft that Foggy has to look away before he, like, spontaneously combusts or something.

“Well, trust me, pal, those are some primo fake soulmarks.”

“Thanks, Fog.”

Matt nudges Foggy’s shoulder with his own, then holds out a loose fist. Knocking their knuckles lightly together, Foggy can’t help the giddy smile on his face.

“Anytime, Matt.”

—

They don’t get a chance to show off their marks until two days later, when they’re strolling across campus towards the dining hall and Matt pauses apropos of nothing and rolls up his sleeves to his elbows, juggling his white cane a little in the process. He then proceeds to fumble for Foggy’s wrists and roll his sleeves up too.

“Matt, what—”

“Shh, act natural!” Matt mutters, knocking his cane lightly against Foggy’s shoe, and then pressing a warm hand to his back to get him walking again.

And, honest to god, not a minute later up walks Stephanie Jenkins. Foggy takes a good moment to consider that maybe Matt’s lady-radar is actually real. In the next, Matt is stretching his arms (and his cane, the goof) above his head, right wrist crossed in front of the left so his fake soulmark will be in sight. Stephanie jerks to a stop, eyes trained on it. After the stretch, for which Foggy very carefully avoids looking at Matt to see if his shirt rides up, Matt folds up his cane and holds out his hand, fingers curled slightly, the way he usually does when he’s asking for Foggy’s arm for guiding purposes.

“Fogs?”

Well, it’s a cue if Foggy’s ever seen one, so he presses his arm into Matt’s grip, making sure the underside of his forearm is turned up for Stephanie’s sake. Her eyes go huge. Foggy gets the feeling that, no matter what he’s trying to save Matt from, he’s going to feel like an asshole if she cries. Thankfully, her face turns puce and angry instead. She’s probably thinking something unflattering about Foggy’s suitability for a guy like Matt but, well. Fuck her anyway.

Just to nail in his point, apparently, Matt traces his free hand up Foggy’s shoulder and into his hair, brushing a long lock of it behind his ear before pressing a kiss to his cheek.

In all honesty, Foggy pretty much forgets all about Stephanie Jenkins after that. Just continues on towards the dining hall, narrating on autopilot in between long bouts of staring at Matt with a racing heart and pathetic cow eyes.

—

The two of them get a frankly embarrassing number of ‘I knew it’s from their classmates, go nearly broke keeping Marci Stahl in vodka, and kiss four more times (three on the cheek, and one chaste, close-mouthed peck on the lips that nearly stops Foggy’s heart).

Also, Foggy gets Stephanie Jenkins’ crazy-eyes glare for three straight weeks. He loves every second of it. Suck it, Stephanie Jenkins, he thinks every time. Which is, yeah, probably a little mean, but hey, this is the lady who tried to take advantage of Matt’s blindness to trick him into (admittedly, a definitely not legally enforceable) marriage. Foggy doesn’t have an ounce of sympathy for her.

Though he risks jinxing himself, Foggy does eventually ask how long Matt thinks the ruse should go on. When Matt decides they should keep up the act until at least the end of the semester, Foggy tries not to agree too eagerly. After all, he’s not supposed to get the wrong idea. Eventually Matt’s heartbreaker ways will win out and he’ll want to find a hot girl to kiss. He’s trusting Foggy with an awful lot, but it doesn’t mean he’s going to... To, you know, fall in love with him or anything. But they’ll still always be best friends. That’s what really matters.

—

After three months, Foggy is used to seeing the fake soulmark on the inside of his left arm when he showers. It doesn’t make his heart squeeze anymore. He no longer has to remind himself that it’s still fake even when soap doesn’t wash it away — all it would take is a little makeup remover, after all. He knows that. It’s fake even though it’s there in a form of semi-permanence. Just another fact of life.

But this particular morning he stops cold, because there’s something on the inside of his right arm too. A perfect, identical mirror image of the scales of justice on his left.

Maybe he was so tired he drew another one on the wrong arm when refreshing the fake soulmark. Maybe. But probably not. Foggy takes slow, deep breaths until the end of his shower. Then he dries off, dresses — pulling on his shirt with the sleeves rolled all the way down — and hurries back to the dorm room for the box of makeup remover wipes they keep next to their sink now.

It’s fine, he tells himself. It’ll wash off. It’s ok. His hands are trembling so hard that he has to squeeze the wipe to keep hold of it and some of the remover solution drips onto his left arm. The fake soulmark there begins to smudge.

The one on the right stays stark and perfect.

“That’s not funny,” Foggy tells it, voice shaking, but though he scrubs at it until the skin’s raw — with the wipe, with hand sanitizer, with isopropyl — it doesn’t come off.

Eventually he’s got to face the facts. His dumb heart has somehow conned his body into producing a genuine, grade-A soulmark for his fake soulmate.

He is so monumentally fucked.

[atmilliways]

Is there a way, without being a total bridezilla, to tell my fiancé’s woman of honor that no, each side of the wedding party is in their own spacious, luxury double mattresses bunk rooms and if your delicate baby ass doesn’t like the idea of shared space just suck it the fuck up because it’s not your damn wedding?

This is the friend who, although she had my fiancé be her Bestie of Honor in her wedding a few months ago, didn’t put him in even the same house as her, didn’t have him sign the marriage certificate, only let him put her shoes on because of photos and then complained he’d done it badly, didn’t have him seated next to her during dinner, never thanked him for doing a frankly excellent job controlling her barky golden lab during the ceremony, and basically ignored her for most of the long weekend.

Also, at the end of her 4-day, easily $200k+ wedding, half of which was held at her parents Tahoe mountainside vacation house that has like ten bedrooms and a private ski lift, she told us we were entitled for wishing my parents had sent us cat-sitting photos. After also saying, “Well I got pictures of my cat but that’s because I paid a cat sitter” when we can’t afford that, and “imagine if you both had full time jobs” as if, like, wow I never would have thought of that, what a great idea you patronizing, younger than me and already a CEO of daddy’s company, never gotten a job for herself that was more impressive than part time at Home Depot, at one point was paying $700 to rent (from her parents) a three bedroom house with a pool in the same neighborhood where my parents live and houses sell for upwards of $2-3 million (compared to my $900 for half on a 650 sq ft duplex apartment in a rural area), little bitch!

Who, by the way, judges the hell out of my fiancé for smoking and drinking the amount that he does, but often smokes just as much and talks about how Adderall works so much faster than than anti-depressants and therapy and, like, actually putting the fucking effort in as if that’s not problematic and addictive behavior itself.

I’m getting real fucking tired of her and her entire family’s overdramatic bullshit.

Rant on Andi Mack Season 2 episode 5

I tired doing this once and tumblr crashed and I can't remember what I said so I'm starting over yay! I'm glad we went back to Andi's story this week, don't get me wrong I love my star child Cyrus and my girl Buffy but I was starting to miss Andi 😂

Andi: Andi you are evil and I love it! The banter between Andi and Cyrus at Buffys game was good to see because you barely see one on one interactions between the two (low key forgot they were besties). She's so nice too especially taking Jonahs words to heart and trying to befriend Amber even tho, like Queen Buffy said, she's a snorpion. I'm glad she got a little of that rebellious feel in the end tho. Plus the level of fierceness she attained at the end where she just owned Amber had me in stitches 😂😂 I feel bad for her tho because you can clearly see that she still hopes Bex and Bowie are gonna end up together and tbh I can see why.

Buffy: Watching that game I was internally screaming at Buffy to destroy TJ and just get the ball and slay their lives but alas she didnt which is fine because when she DOES own him it would be all the more enjoyable to watch. Her constant protection of Andi from Amber is gold. Shes here changing the Oxford Dictionary just to insult Amber. I mean she was right in the end because Amber did end up being a Snorpion so I guess that's a point for her. She doesnt care about whether or not Ambers feelings are hurt and demolishes her over the phone with Amber right there 😂 Her failed attempt at talking nicely to TJ which ended in her rowing as usual still makes me chuckle because once again when she finna comes for TJ she's gonna come hard.

Jonah: He's too pure and optimistic for this world like honestly. Always so happy and concerned for everyone. Everyone needs a Jonah in their life. Him and Buffy are like polar opposites and are put there to literally be two different sides in Andis life. Symbolism at its finest!

Amber: *Inhales* BOIIIIIII YOU DONE FUCKED UP NOW! OK OK I'll chill cuz I sorta get why she got mad and she sorta has a sad story but still doesn't excuse her LEAVING MY CHILD SUSPENDED IN A FERRIS WHEEL 😤😡 Anywho... I'm glad Andi got her and got her good at the end tho. Totally crushed her world seeing Jonah being so concerned over Andi and not her and it was glorious to see. I don't hate Amber, she's real, I just think she's deserving of what's being dished out to her. Like honey forcing and apology out of someone never goes the way you want it to. Just ask Bex and CC.

Bex: I like how she's pursuing something she's good at (her Cosmetology certification) and that good ole faithful Bowie is right there to help. She's A LOT like Buffy (or they just could've had a convo) and both tried to tell Andi the same story about the frog and the scorpion much to Andis dismay of course. Her and Bowie really need to get it together and get BACK together because they're just too perfect man. I feel like Andi watching them cut up and refuse to return to dating. WE KNOW YALL WANT IT SO GET IT!

Cyrus: My star child was comic relief this time around but I have 0 complaints about it honestly. The whole lip reading thing had me done and I wonder if it was scripted or AdLib cuz that was comedy gold 😂😂😂. His signs at the game had me deceased too and the fact he was enjoying the game on the whole had me shook. He even learned terminology to tell Andi. I mean his naivety still showed afterwards but A+ for effort 👏👏👏. He attempt to calm Buffy down to talk to TJ showed that Buffy needed him just as much as he needed Buffy with was the epitemy of "Awwwww 😍". Didnt work in the end (as usual) but once again A+ for effort!

I love how real the show still feels even tho its just a show 😂😂 Why am I so invested into this? The world might never know. We even find out the towns name is Shadyside so look at that. Oooh seems like Jandi drama and a school fight coming up next ep due too a social experiment so yasss to that! And more Andi and Cyrus plus Buffy and Jonah interaction to hell yeah to that too!

Twist of Fate - Chapter 5

Chapter 5 is here! Sorry that it took so long! In case you forgot the previous few parts here’s the link to my A03 format of this and the very first one on here!

A03 

Part 1

               Jughead still couldn’t quite grasp the idea of conducting the interview normally. He usually scrutinizes his possible employees to see how well they crack under pressure. He didn’t want to do this with Betty, he already knew she was an amazing writer from all of the old Riverdale articles written about her. He did do his research before letting her live in his home, only a fool wouldn’t.

               “So, Miss Cooper, what made you interested in applying for this job?” Jughead read the first question, clearing his throat slightly and leaning back into his chair with ease. Betty’s warm smile remained etched across her features. Opening the seemingly full binder she had brought in with her, she started to speak.

               “I’ve had a passion for writing and journalism since I could remember. My parents own their own newspaper back in my home town. It was called The Register. Most summers I would intern there, learning the craft some might say. In between that I worked at a local diner and kept my grades up. Speaking of grades, here’s my GPA, grade sheet and certificates to prove that I didn’t just print off a random sheet.” Betty spoke fluidly and confidently, shocking Jughead in the process at how professional she really could be. “I also have some of my previous journalistic work in case that was needed.” I guess that explains why her binder is so full.

               “Miss Cooper, I have to say I’m quite impressed. Speaking from a professional viewpoint, it looks like you have incredible potential. A few more questions and then I’ll be out of your hair. May we proceed?” Jughead swiftly grabbed the pile of papers Betty had slid across the desk, flicking through them promptly. “What would you say are the best features you can apply to a workplace?”

               The interview continued like that for another 10 minutes before both roommates stood up and shook hands firmly. Betty had thought the interview had gone well, considering it was her roommate who was living a secret double life as a multimillionaire. Jughead too, thought it had gone well. He really wanted to hire Betty as one of his editors. It was a big job role that she hadn’t signed up for; she came to work as a basic journalist.

               “Miss Cooper, I don’t want to step out of line here. But we have another job role available and I personally think it would fit your abilities a lot better.” Jughead paused briefly to examine Betty’s face. She looked happy but something in her features grimaced. “It’s not because you’re my roommate either. I would just like you to apply for the editor in chief position instead of just a reporter. You still get to write your own pieces.” Jughead rushed out. Betty instantly lit up.

               “Of course sir, I’ll look forward to that call back.” Betty gathered the rest of his things and walked towards the door. Just as she opened the door she span around. “By the way, as Betty, what did you want for dinner tonight? I was thinking spaghetti Bolognese but I didn’t know if you liked it?” She said hopefully. Jughead smiled as he sat back in his seat.

               “I like Bolognese a lot, Betty. I get off work at half 4, we can talk more then. I’m sure there’s a lot you’re confused about.” He spoke slowly, making sure to keep eye contact with her the entire time. Betty’s cheeks were flaming, it’s not every day your hot roommate/possible boss/best friend’s brother stares into your eyes for more than 3 seconds. Betty swiftly nodded and made her way out of the door.

               “See you later Holden Caulfield.” Betty teased, shutting the door before he could respond. Little to her knowledge, those words made Jughead sit back in his chair and smile like an idiot. This mere interaction threw his mind off of schedule for the rest of the day. He reached over and pressed the microphone button to contact his assistant.

               “Hey Lydia, yeah, could you cancel all of the editor interview please? I think we’ve found our girl.” He smiled yet again, dreaming that the next few hours would pass by in a blur. He doesn’t know why, but being with Betty is so easy. Even if he’s known her for less than a week, he feels like he’s known her forever. He practically has, Veronica blabbed nonstop about her ‘internet bestie’ being the walking example of perfection. Jughead couldn’t agree more.

               Later on, sat at the table over steaming plates of Bolognese and mugs of hot tea, the pair sat in a comfortable silence. Jughead wanted to explain everything to Betty. The least she deserved was a bit of intel, but his mouth couldn’t form the right words. This is the first time he’s wanted to pour his heart out to someone. The damaged loner strikes back. Betty seemed to sense exactly what he was thinking.

               “My parents were overbearing. My mother only cared to make me perfect and my father was a liar. My sister got knocked up and ran off with her ginger devil of a boyfriend when she was 17. After she left she never bothered to get a hold of me whilst my parents worked harder to ‘fix’ me. The only friend I had was Kevin, my gay best friend. My whole high school life I was bullied for being Polly’s sister and for being Elizabeth Cooper in general.” Betty said in one breath, not looking phased at all as she chewed on another bite of her dinner. Jughead’s eyes were wide with disbelief at her outburst. “We all have secrets we want to hide Juggie, but the sooner you say them out loud the sooner they’ll stop weighing you down.” Betty spoke, taking a long sip of her tea afterwards.

               “My dad was an alcoholic and my mother was a selfish bitch. My baby sister was the only sweet thing in my world. My entire childhood consists of me holding my sister close whilst my parents fought nonstop. We both got put into the social system and separated. 6 years later I ran away from my 3rd foster home and went back to Greendale. There I saw my parents with my little sister looking happier than ever and my dad was sober. Hiram Lodge saved my life; he took me in when I had nothing. I was a malnourished kid freezing in the streets and he took me in like I was his own son. They cared for me. So, I got a name change and became a Lodge. Ronnie and I hit it off instantly. She might as well be my blood.” Jughead scrambled for a while, trying to find the right words to portray his story correctly. He avoided Betty’s gaze, scared senseless at how she would react.

               “Juggie.” Betty cracked out, her voice wracked with emotion. He looked up shamefully to meet her warm and welcoming eyes. They were filled with tears, some escaping down the porcelain skin of her face. Her hands reached out to cup his face, bringing his head higher up. “You are so brave. You have nothing to be ashamed of.” Betty sternly spoke, the emotion still clear in her voice. Jughead wanted to believe her, but he was nothing. Before he could respond Betty got up from her seat and walked to him, wrapping her arms around him. She pulled him into a tight hug, rubbing his back reassuringly. Only then did Jughead start sobbing. He’s not a usual crier but when he does have the odd occasion, it’s a sob.

               They stayed like that for a while, finding comfort in holding each other close. They could’ve stayed in that moment forever if not for the front door bursting wide open. The culprit was, of course, Veronica Lodge. This time, sporting a plaid red mini skirt, a regular black top, her pearls and cute heels that were probably worth more than a month’s rent.

               “Hola, tis I, V Lodge.” She strutted into the kitchen, wavering slightly as she noticed Jughead and Betty’s teared up expressions. Archie followed her in suit, sporting a regular red shirt and black skinny jeans. “Wait what happened? Are you okay?” Ronnie rushed over, pulling her brother and her best friend into a bone crushing hug. Betty chuckled slightly, pulling back so she could speak to the raven haired girl in question.

               “I told her everything.” Jughead mumbled. Veronica nodded lightly, pulling him in a little harder. She knew nothing more needed to be said tonight. As chairman of the fun committee, she deemed herself responsible for making sure tonight would be the funniest night of their boring lives.

               It started off by getting into their comfiest pajamas and playing Just Dance on the Xbox. That, obviously, ended with Jughead falling gracefully onto the floor and Betty beating him by almost 2000 points. Veronica was the champion by the end, Jughead coming last. Betty wasn’t too caught up over being 2nd, she knew she would be Sing Star. Which she did, followed by Jughead coming last, yet again. His excuse was one he couldn’t say aloud, but he was so blown away by her angelic voice. He was entranced. Veronica noticed this and added it to the list of things she needed to ambush him about.

               “Aha! Something I’m finally in the lead for. Have fun in the clutter zone you low budget Lewis Hamilton.” Jughead boasted, clearly winning at Mario Cart. The only talent he’s shown to possess so far is button smashing. Even if he had failed miserably at everything, he had an amazing night. Betty being there made it 100x better than any of the other game nights the 3 had before. She made everything better. At around 10pm Archie and Veronica had left for their apartment whilst Betty and Jughead cleared up the remaining dishes and stray pillows.

               “Tonight was really fun Juggie. I’m glad I met you guys.” Betty spoke warmly to Jughead, leaning against the sink and watching him put the leftover food in the fridge. He turned around and smiled a genuine smile at her. The raven haired boy closed the fridge door and walked over to Betty, pulling her into a soft hug. Betty accepted with open arms, resting her head in the nape of his neck. Something about this felt right, they both felt it. The spark igniting in their hearts. Neither of them acted on it that night. Instead, they went to their respective beds and laid their heads. Both were dreaming of the endless possibilities in their future together, not knowing how true those thoughts would become.
