Helmar Widowslayer, the antagonist from the forever-unwritten story from which K'moh originates. Helmar is a war criminal and a freak and picked that surname himself. He's been K'moh's nemesis for a little over 50 years; arthropods are functionally immortal in this setting, but other species are not, so the window for revenge is closing pretty quickly for my favorite spider during the main course of the storyline. (Don't worry, he'll get it.)

it's easy to read the situation between li tongguang, ruyi, and yuanzhou as a love triangle on a superficial level, but looking even one step further, it's clear that there's no triangle about it. li tongguang is obsessed with ren xin; ning yuanzhou is devoted to ren ruyi. ltg's obsession is fervent and all consuming, but it's not devotion. like ruyi herself notes, his feelings to her are on the basis of her as a mother figure in his life, as a replacement for what he never received from his mother. is there an element of romantic/sexual love/desire to it? maybe. more likely he's deluded himself into thinking that, because the truth is, it's doubtful that ltg even understands what love is (platonic, filial, familial, romantic, all of the above, etc), because he has no basis for understanding. ruyi's teachings and actions towards him are the closest thing he has to hold up as an example. what he wants is ren xin, is a replica of the master he had. he doesn't want ruyi, because he doesn't actually care about ruyi. therefore, he doesn't care if she's sad, angry, mad; he just can't bear her 'abandoning' him. we saw this way back when she first meet and left him, both at thirteen and seventeen. although he distrusts her first, she saves his life and cares for him in the way no one else has, hence her first being raised on a platform in his mind. when she leaves for good, ending their master-disciple relationship/training, even though it's for official business and she's not abandoning him, in his mind that's exactly what it is. so now that she's in his life again, he won't let her leave again. he was powerless before, a child with no proper name, but now he's a recognized member of the imperial family, a man who can meet her as 'equals' (even when that's far from the truth). as a child, he could only cling to her legs and beg her, but now he has the power to keep her by his side. it's telling that when he finally gets confirmation of her identity, it's not ning yuanzhou he seeks to harm (even though he detests him and their relationship), but yang ying. yang ying is ruyi's new disciple, and as ltg doesn't know she's a woman, he only sees her as his direct replacement.
ning yuanzhou, on the other hand, is devoted to ruyi. he wants to build a new life and future with her, instead of slotting her into a spot in the life he already has. he's someone who accompanies her on walks and makes her midnight snacks, who holds her when she needs to be held and lets her go when she needs to do things on her own. when she speaks her mind, he listens, even when it makes him discontent/it's not what he wanted/wants to hear. he sees her unabashedly as his equal, and though he acknowledges her skills and abilities, or points out her naivety, he never does it to belittle her; to him, she is his peer, deserving of the highest honor and respect. he trusts her to have his back, and she has come to trust him to have her. he did what she might have thought no man would ever do: he proved himself reliable, so she came to rely on him. yuanzhou gives her freedom and autonomy as both ren ruyi and ren xin. of course they run into problems, but they both learn and grow from them, as individuals and as a couple. yuanzhou's belief in her is unwavering, but adaptable, whereas ltg's is unwavering, but frozen in time, disallowing for any new information to be presented. yuanzhou works with ruyi to accept the changes thrown her way; he seeks the core behind her actions in order to better understand her. li tongguang cannot accept the changes in ruyi's character, because they run contrary to the master he has on a pedestal in his mind.
what li tongguang wants is to return to the past, but yuanzhou offers ruyi the promise of a future, even one that might never come to fruition. there's no triangle about it.
#star stumbles#my thoughts#a journey to love#ä¸ĺżľĺ
łĺąą#cdrama#written right after watching ep 26#hope i explained it well#honestly i have a lot more thoughts about this ep and ruyi/ltg but that's still a separate post that will happen. well sometime#maybe after ep 32 idk#it's just the juxtaposition between entering a room that is a shrine to the person she is trying to leave behind#and going home to a man who makes her wonton soup and accompanies her on her revenge journey#who offers his own insights and thoughts but lets her lead the way when it comes down to it.#he gives her ultimate control over her own journey. and ruyi who has never had that freedom of course is drawn to him#oh and one more point that didn't make it in#ruyi's confrontation about how ltg is unwilling to give up his power and success is further proof of his obsession =/= love or devotion#it's not that ning yuanzhou WOULD necessarily give up those things if she asked him to#but he would respect her enough to let her go if he knew he was unwilling to give up his position#of course nyz right now is someone who is planning on retiring and living a quiet life away from it all#which is appealing to ruyi#but ltg obviously won't give up his name and success. he wanted an imperial name but now that he got it the avenue has opened up#we saw his big dreams early on in eps 4-5 (before the character butchery...though i can't really call it that since it makes sense#but still drives me insane)#and of course he won't! for a neglected illegitimate child with no power even gaining a sliver of it is just the beginning#and ruyi is honestly so far from the court in that she might have been close with empress zhaojie#but her understanding of the court is very ignorant. not in a bad way but she was a weapon so of course she didn't have to understand that#she just struck when told to. the power games of the court are basic knowledge but they still shock and confuse her#so it's also a thing about living two different lives and different paths#even though yuanzhou and her are on different ones theirs are still compatible#at this point in their lives. as they said earlier if they had met earlier they probably would be trying to kill each other

I love being the always single person in my family, mad respect to my sister for constantly dating guys for the last 8 years, I would have shot myself
#whenever my mom asks if i have love news of my own while we're talking about my sister's newest catch and i say no#i hope she doesn't feel pity because like. this is the life that i choose. my sister's ex boyfriends were enough for ME even#and i only met a handful of them personally but heard more than enough shit about them#i just always think i'm only flirting with some guys only to never talk to them again or ghost them because it's fun#fat girl who's always been seen as ugly by other people gets to flirt with good looking people is the ultimate ego boost arc#if i ever date anyone seriously again it better be true love and end in kids and marriage until death or i'll live as a hermit#until that happens tho...... life is a party i don't wanna miss a thing break some men's heart get revenge yolo etc etc#also the thought of actively dating freaks me out. if i meet someone and we tolerate each other long term that's good#but dating apps or going on dates with several people and deciding who's the best like on the bachelorette?? death first#plus i lowkey don't like men as a concept. at least the type i've dated. i guess you could say my last ex traumatized me hahaha đđť (���đ¨)#i think i'm too young to be in a committed relationship anyway. or even to seek getting into one. there are much more important things rn#i know former classmates my age are having kids or getting married but idgaf the one who got engaged last year has been with him for 7 year#which is a decent time tbh you change quite a bit during that time and if it feels right why not#but i can't wrap my head around searching for a relationship when you don't even have a stable job and know what else you want in life#rambling again sorryyyy but yeah proud single here and i'm not saying this out of spite because i genuinely enjoy it#all relationships i've been in were so draining (tbf they were long distance too) and got me at rock bottom and had me filled with regret#also these men can be so controlling and jealous when you just wanna go out with friends while they do whatever they want too#but when you say you don't want a jealous partner they think that's a free pass for them to cheat like what the actual fuck#do you see the difference between being unnecessarily jealous when you hang out with friends and being rightfully jealous when they cheat??#at this point idk what to say. i'm very entertained by my friends' dating journeys but that couldn't be me#all the gossip i provide for them is which people i flirted with for the ego and who i ghosted and who ghosted me#mel talks

all i want for christmas is you! a gojo satoru fic
pairing ⸺ bf!gojo x reader
summary ⸺ after a well needed rest from the kids, you and your boyfriend focus on baking christmas cookies for your pta responsibilities. however, it ends up taking a naughty twist when satoru finds out the surprise you've planned out for him.
warnings ⸺ FLUFF, smut in the form of fingering and p i v sex, reader has a vagina, fem reader implied, some jealousy, but mostly crack, pta cookie baking for megumi, very domestic, not edited, âgood girl,â teasing, use of pet names like âbaby,â gojo is a warning in himself
a/n hbd to my husband and loml đđ i hope you guys enjoy this it kind of made me realize only long fics heal my soul but this is anticipation of holidays :33
general masterlist
You sometimes did not know what to do with Satoru.
When he told you to come over to make Christmas cookies that are part of his PTA commitments for Megumi, you really didnât expect him to come out of his room with that sweater on. Itâs an ugly sweaterâso heâs got the holiday spirit nailed downâthat has printed âBIG PACKAGE JUST FOR YOU.â Below it, a cartoon Santa stood pantsless, strategically holding a neatly wrapped gift box over his crotch.
You give him a look as he comes out to join you in the kitchen. âPlease donât tell me you wore that in front of Tsumiki and Megumi.â
He has the gall to look offended as he puts on his even stupider âYour opinion wasnât on the recipeâ apron. âOf course, what kind of father do you think I am?â
You sigh, moving to put in the last of the dry ingredients. âI saw Megumi watching Breaking Bad on his iPad last week.â
âWhat?â he gasps dramatically as he pauses while moving for the fridge. âI swear I downloaded Youtube Kids!â
Look, Satoru is a good dad. Foster-dad. Whatever. Heâs been taking care of Megumi and Tsumiki for ages now, ever since that incident happened, and heâs been doing his best. But, unfortunately, his adult life and burdens and responsibilities cause him sometimes to be a absent father. He makes up for itâgoes shopping with Tsumiki for her clothes, spends quality time with Megumi.
One thing heâd never miss, however, are those PTA meetings.
He is the PTA mom final boss. No matter what event is being held, heâs going to go all out. You donât miss the smirk he gives to Karen everytime he brings an even bigger cookie platter for Megumiâs homeroom than she did for her son Samâs, nor the sassy pursed lips as he donates artist-grade markers from Michaelâs instead of Miaâs cheap ones from Walmart.
Yea, he is just petty like that, but itâs always the moms whose sons have gotten into fights with Megumi that he outdoes everytime. You know better than to question his peculiar form of revenge.
âI think that means he found a way to break through the parental controls. Heâs definitely your kid,â you reply with a bit of mirth in your voice. Then, you quickly move to intercept Satoruâs journey to get the eggs as soon as you notice a miniscule movement of his. You were not about to let Satoru force another trip to Whole Foods with the clumsiness youâre all too familiar with in your five years of dating.
Grabbing the eggs before he can, you turn around to find him staring at you, a dazzled look on his face.
âWhat?â you ask, already smirking. The view of the outfit youâd worn today had been obscured by the apron when he first came in, but when you moved to get the eggs in front of him, he definitely got a view of your ass in your tiny red skirt and fuzzy, festive top.
âWhy the hell are you wearing a sexy Mrs. Claus outfit?â
âI was thinking weâd watch Christmas movies and chill today after the cookies!â you exclaim, just as Satoru interrupts with, âWeâre baking cookies for children, you freak.â
The room went dead silent.
Your cheerful smile dropped instantly. Meanwhile, Satoruâs face lit up like heâs just won the lottery, full of pure glee.
Both of you shout at the same time, âWhat?â
You slam the eggs down onto the counter with just enough force to make him flinch, narrowing your eyes at him. âExcuse me? Did you just call me a freak?â
âI didnât mean it like that!â he yelped, backpedaling so fast you were surprised he didnât trip over his own feet. âItâs justââ He gestured wildly at you. ââthat outfit is⌠isâŚâ
âIs what?â you demand, crossing your arms and daring him to dig himself deeper.
âBabe,â he starts to whine, apologetic like a wet dog and padding his way back over to you while pulling you in for a back hug. âItâs hot, okay? Donât get me wrong, itâs driving me crazy. Iâm trying to focus on cookies, and youâre over here looking like every Christmas fantasy I didnât know I had.â
âGet off me,â you grumble, shooting him a glare as you try to shake him off. âYou are not touching these cookies. Sit on the couch.â
He yelps as you slap his hand. âBabe, but Iâll just be reinforcing the patriarchy if I let you stay and do all the work in the kitchen.â Then, he moves closer to your ear like the chronically online loser he is and whispers, â6â 3ââ btw.â
âGo away!â you shriek, waving him off. This process would indeed be two times faster if Satoru was on his couch. There wasnât any rush, but youâd really appreciate getting to the dicking-down part of tonight after much appreciated privacy from the kids for the first time in forever. You take a mental note to thank Yujiâs grandpa and Nobaraâs grandmother with extra cookies for the sleepover as you shoo your boyfriend to the couch.
You get back to work on the wet ingredients by cracking the eggs, but not before you hear a âIâll be reflecting on the systematic oppression women face in the workforce.â
Pulling off the oven mitts on your hands, you wash your hand but not without sneaking a peek over the kitchen counter. You were locked in on the cookies, paying no mind to Satoruâs existential bemoaning, and now that youâre done, you canât wait for the fun part of tonight.
After waiting a few minutes and checking and rechecking the cookies to make sure theyâre done, you set them aside to cool and make sure to turn off the oven. Tonight, you were determined to get that big fucking package Santa owed you, and your boyfriend was going to be the one to deliver it.
As you walk out, you know the strat youâre going to use: innocently suggest a Christmas movie to watch, snuggle close to him, and heâll fall into the trap you set for him like a bear towards honey. You know your boyfriend all too well, and today, you were feeling coy.
Heâs stretched out on the couch, scrolling on his phone, his posture as awful as ever. But the second he hears your footsteps, his head snaps up. His eyes immediately dart to the movement of your bare legs, lingering on the tiny red skirt youâre still wearing, before slowly traveling back up to your chest. Wow. He really wasnât making this difficult.
You plop down next to him while grabbing the remote, pulling up Netflix. âWhat movie should we watch today?â
He blinks, clearly distracted. âWeâre watching a movie?â
The Princess Switch catches in the side of your eye as you scroll through the options. Without looking at him, you answer, âYes? What else were we going to do?â
âOh, I donât know,â he drawls, his voice already dipping into that teasing tone you know so well. âMaybe something that doesnât involve Vanessa Hudgens playing herself two times.â
You roll your eyes, nudging his shoulder with your own. âDonât knock it till you try it, Mr. Holiday Spirit.â
His gaze doesnât leave you, though, and when you finally glance at him, his expression has shifted. Heâs not teasing anymore. His eyes are a little darker, his lips twitching like heâs holding back a grin. âWhat?â you ask, already smirking.
âNothing,â he says, his voice lower now. âJust... you look really good in that outfit.â
Your cheeks heat, but you play it off with a laugh. âFlattery will get you nowhere, Satoru.â
âWonât it?â he murmurs, leaning a little closer, his hand brushing against your knee. The heat of his palm lingers even after he pulls it away, and you feel your heart skip a beat.
Youâre about to respondâsomething witty, something to keep the banter goingâbut then his hand moves again, this time resting firmly on your thigh. âYouâre really going to make me sit through a Christmas movie when you look like that?â he asks, his voice a low rumble.
Your breath hitches, and you canât help the way your body reacts, leaning just a fraction closer to him. âWhat would you rather do?â you challenge, your voice softer now.
His gaze dips to your lips, and thatâs all the invitation he needs. In a second, heâs closing the distance, his mouth pressing against yours in a kiss thatâs anything but sweet. Itâs hungry and demanding, like heâs been waiting for this all day, and when his hand slides higher up your thigh, you realize youâve completely forgotten about the movie and the preview playing. Satoru, clearly a little annoyed judging by the pout on his face, moves to close the preview featuring Vanessa Hudgensâ obnoxious British accent and then the room is silent except for the wet sounds of your sloppy kissing.
When youâve both made out for a whileânow with you on his lapâyou both pull back with fastened breaths, looking at each otherâs glistening lips. Finally, from Satoru comes out a, âThat. I wanted to do that.â
Maybe itâs the attention whore in you always looking to rile up Satoru and get his affection, but you couldnât refrain from blurting out a âAre you sure you wanted to do this with me, or would Linda have sufficed?â
At the scrunch of Satoruâs nose, his face practically spells out a Who the fuck is Linda? âYou know, the one that gets really friendly with you when Iâm going to the bathroom at those PTA meetings.â
Satoru sometimes did not know what to do with you.
Here he is, trying to make out with you when youâre looking like that, makeup done perfectly and looking beautiful as always. He hasnât gotten laid with you in a hot minute, and here you are, picking at him. He has no fucking clue who Linda is, but what he does know is that youâre really cute when you get jealous. âYeah?â he teases, brushing a stray lock of hair from your face, his fingers lingering against your cheek. His grin is maddeningly smug, his blue eyes sparkling with amusement. âLinda sounds nice. Should I call her up?â
Your jaw drops, but the sharp retort forming in your head is lost when his hand slides from your cheek to your neck, his thumb brushing lightly along your jawline. He leans closer, his breath warm against your skin. âYou know,â he continues, his voice a low murmur, âif youâre jealous, you could just say so.â
âIâm not jealous,â you shoot back, your voice unconvincing even to yourself. You shift under his gaze, trying to keep up the façade, but itâs hard when his lips hover so close to yours.
Satoruâs grin widens. âNo? Then why are you bringing up some imaginary PTA Linda when Iâm clearly only interested in you?â His lips press against the corner of your mouth, a slow, deliberate kiss that makes your breath catch.
âYouâre clearly only interested in being annoying,â you quip, but the words lack their usual bite as his hand slips lower, trailing down your side until it rests on your bare thigh. His touch is firm, possessive, and it sends a shiver through you.
âAnnoying?â he echoes, his tone mock-offended. âThatâs a big word for someone who just ruined a perfectly good makeout session to talk about Linda.â
You glare at him, but the effect is ruined when his thumb begins tracing lazy circles on your thigh. âI didnât ruin anything,â you argue weakly.
âDidnât you?â He dips his head, his lips brushing against the sensitive spot just below your ear. âBecause now, instead of kissing you like I want to, Iâm stuck reassuring you that Linda doesnât stand a chance against my very sexy, very jealous girlfriend.â
You canât help the laugh that escapes you, but it turns into a soft gasp as his teeth graze your skin, his tongue soothing the faint sting. âYouâre insufferable,â you mutter, but your hands betray you, tangling in his hair and tugging him closer.
âMm, but you like it,â he murmurs, his lips trailing down your neck. His free hand slides higher, skimming under the hem of your skirt, his fingers teasing against the soft skin of your hip. âAdmit it.â
âShut up,â you manage, though your voice is breathless now. Heâs too close, his scent overwhelming, his touch setting your nerves on fire. When his hand tightens on your thigh and he pulls you closer, you give in, letting him capture your lips in a kiss thatâs all desperation.
Linda, whoever she may be, is long forgotten as Satoru kisses you like heâs trying to make up for every second youâve spent apart. His hands roam, his touch firm and confident, and when he pulls back just enough to murmur against your lips, âYouâre all I want,â you believe him completely.
A breathless âSatoruâ leaves your lips as he gentlyâbut hurriedlyâlowers you down to lay on the couch while he bends over you, inching down the hem of your top to bury his head in your tits. âOh my god,â he groaned. âI missed my girls.â He starts to leaves rough kisses, an occasional bite and suck, and then stops. Takes in a deep breath. âWow, you smell good babe.â
You look at him, flustered. âStop smelling my tits, oh my god.â For good measure, you grab his hair to bury his face against your breasts once more.
âNo,â smooch, âitâs,â smooch, âsmelling good. Like the new holiday scents from Bath and Body Works.â He then abandons your chest to kiss his way down your body, sliding your skirt down as he kisses around the edge of your panties. âIâve missed her, too.â
Despite yourself, you moan, spreading your legs to give him full access. He takes it enthusiastically, giving you a little kiss in your middle. Then, his eyes donât leave yours as he uses his teeth to pull your panties down, slowly and sultry. Your pussy leaks even more, and the motherfucker notices, because thereâs a faint smirk on his face as he hones back in your wetness, running his fingers to spread your slick. âWow, my girl must have been sooo pent up,â he croons, eyes not leaving your hole and the way it clenched every time he spoke. âMy good girl is soo desperate.â
Without missing a beat, you sneakily reply, âDonât call me that, thatâs so corny oh my godâ-â Youâre interrupted with your own gasp as he enters a finger in. When he finally curls it, hitting your g-spot dead on, you suck in your breath. You really missed this.
âOh, really?â He giggles, clearly amused by you trying to rile him up. âIf my baby doesnât like being called a good girl then why is she clenching so hard on myââ thrustâ âfingers?â
And suddenly the feminist in you leaves as his big, thick fingers ram into you faster than ever, and you start squealing like the slut you are for your incredibly hot boyfriend whoâs equally as much of a slut for you, judging based on the rock hard erection against your thigh. Take that, Linda.
Youâre in a daze of pleasure, too fucked out to notice Gojo wrenching down his sweats to pull out his throbbing cock, to pump it to full mast. Itâs only when he rips his finger away from your cavern that you start to whimper, clawing at his arms to continue fingering you.
And he starts cooing, giving you a small kiss on your cheek as he aligns his dick with your pussy. âI know baby, I know,â and he groans as the soft, wet heat of your pussy grips on him hard as he pushes in. Itâs not long before he starts thrusting, wiping your tears while driving in even faster. âWow, good fucking pussy.â
âSatoru,â you whine, but you donât even know for what. You were close enough when he was fingering you, but now youâre steadily approaching your climax. But Satoru, whoâs attuned to what your body needs, readjusts himself to go even deeper.
Itâs when you gasp loudly that a glint lights up in his eyes. âThatâs the spot, isnât it?â He drives into that spot like a jackhammer, savoring in your little squeals and moans of his name, until finally, he feels you climax.
âOh my god,â you says breathlessly as your orgasm takes over you, convulsing while Satoru doesnât let up, continuing his pace until his hips become more sloppy. After a few off rhythm thrusts, he comes in you, collapsing on top of you.
Heâs breathing heavily from exertion, and you run your nails on his back and hair gently. You both bask in the glow of your orgasm. Of course, that is until Satoru perks his head up. âDo you think I can eat that kid Martinâs cookie? Megumi told me he doesnât like him and that heâs annoyingâ-OWWW, what was that for?â

Star Rail and Genshin men: Giving them the silent treatment
Characters: Boothill, Diluc, Jing Yuan, Lyney, Moze, Neuvillette, Sunday, Venti, Wriothesley, Yanqing
Notes: female reader, blood, injury, creepy guy in Diluc's, jealousy, drinking, Moze being Moze
Author notes: FINALLY FREE OF FINALS!!! Prepare for more posts in the future hehe. Comment if you want a pt 2 (let us know what men you want!)
Boothill
Boothill is all kinds of confused right now. After that damn profnana messed with his head, now you avoiding and not talking him has his brain in overdrive.Â
He doesnât fully know what changed. March 7th told him what profnana tried to make him do to you. He really wishes he could shoot that forkin thing in the head after the shirtbag tried to make him shoot you. March 7th also said he talked about his past but heâs fine with that. So he really doesnât get what is up with you.
Youâre sitting in one of the open sitting areas Boothill has on his ship thinking about all that has happened. You met Boothill early into your journey as a galaxy ranger and were always really close with him. He helped you so much and liked being around you so he asked you to join him.Â
You two only grew even closer as time passed and everyone knew you were more than friends. You two only got together before the whole trip to Penacony so the relationship is still fresh. But that isnât whatâs bothering you or has you upset.Â
Itâs about Boothillâs past. It broke your heart hearing a young Boothill talk instead of the raspy voice youâre so used to and love. As you listened to that little soft voice talk about his past, you couldnât stop your heart from breaking. It also made you realize you donât know much about him. You know he wants revenge on the IPC for what they did to his planet but you didnât know what happened.
Did he not trust you as much as you thought he did? Did he only see this arrangement as convenient to help reach his goal? Does he actually have feelings for you? You donât know and donât know how to talk to him about it. You feel the ship go into cruise mode indicating Boothill planned the next planet and you two have time before you get there.Â
You canât help but get frustrated at yourself because all you want to do is to talk to him but you donât know how. You start to tear up while thinking about a plan when you hear him walking into the room.
Boothill was quick to set the ship to cruise so he can figure out whatâs going on. Once heâs got everything lined up, he makes his way to where you are.
He sees you with your head down and your hands clenching at your pants. He instantly knows something is wrong. Boothill makes quick strides over to where youâre sitting to start figuring this out.Â
He stays standing and tilts your head up to see your red eyes and tear stained face. Boothill rarely gets shot but seeing you like this feels like heâs got shot hundreds of times. He lets go of your face and sits next to you and pull you into his lap. Boothill tucks your head into his neck then says, âI canât help ya, if ya donât tell me whatâs wrong.âÂ
Youâll pull yourself from his neck to look at him. He reaches one of his hands up to wipe your tears which makes you let out a shaky breath. You lean your forehead again his and quietly ask, âBoothill, do you not trust me? Am I a bad girlfriend?â
Boothill eyes are wide open now as he stumbles out, âWait whaddya mean? Of course I do. I trust ya with my life. And youâre not a bad girlfriend at all. Why would you ask that?âÂ
You look down not being able to look him in the eyes anymore and start to play with the zipper on his shirt, âWhen you talked about your past with that soft voice my heart broke. But it also made me realize I never got to know you.â You start to cry again but you continue to talk, âI want to know you more. I want to help you. I want you to count on me so I donât have to hear that soft little boys voice be in pain again.âÂ
Boothill tilts your head back up to face him. He wipes your tears then kisses your cheeks, âBaby I want nothinâ more than to share everythinâ with you. Iâm sorry thatâs the way you had to find everythinâ out. From now on Iâll be more open with ya. But you also gotta promise you wonât shut yourself out from me and doubt yourself. Okay? I love you.âÂ
You look him in the eyes and respond, âI promise Boothill. I love you too.â Then you go to give him a tight hug burying yourself in his neck again. Boothill quickly returns the hug holding you tightly to him and pressing a soft kiss on your forehead.Â
Diluc
Diluc didnât think he could meet anyone as stubborn as Kaeya, that was before you decided to give him the silent treatment. It has been two days since your guys argument.Â
It all started at Angelâs Share. You asked Diluc to teach you how to make drinks so you can help him and Charles when times got busy. After a while you started working there. You love your job and everyone you get to meet. Well most people.Â
You love the regulars like Venti, Kaeya, and Rosaria. You also love when Lisa drags Jean here or when you meet new faces from or outside of Mondstadt. But there are a good amount of men who have been creepy towards you. You keep your work outfit simple with a white blouse and a black skirt (and sometimes Dilucâs jacket when you get cold). Whenever a man gets too creepy or tries to touch you Diluc is quick to stop the situation and kick the man out.Â
Your outfit isnât that revealing. You made sure to keep the skirt at a medium length so no perverts could try to see something they shouldnât. You also keep your chest covered so again no perverts could be weird. But sadly itâs only been getting worse lately and itâs making you stressed.Â
One night Diluc couldnât get to Angelâs Share until later in the evening due to a meeting he had to be at. You are perfectly fine working with Charles and love talking to him when times are slow. Tonight is pretty slow but a couple groups needed refills so you offered to do it so Charles can stay behind the bar and continue his conversation with Kaeya.
You walk over to the group in the far back corner and see all the men drunk. You roll your eyes before tending to them. You ask if they would like anymore drinks but all they respond with is that they want you to warm them up. You ask again if they want DRINKS but none of them say yes so you begin to walk away. As you do one of the sleazy guys grabs your wrist and pulls you back. He starts to say something but that is before you see a tanned hand grabbing the guys wrist. You look up to see Kaeya glaring at the man.Â
âLet go of her now and get the hell out of here.â The men quickly follow Kaeyaâs order and he follows them out making sure they donât try to come back in. When heâs outside he sees Diluc walking towards him and says a little hello. Diluc quickly asks what happened and Kaeya relays the story. Diluc gets visibly mad and stomps inside to go find you. Once he does he grabs your hand and has you follow him to a spare room upstairs.
He gives you his jacket and asks if you are okay and if the guy did anything to you. You say youâre okay and that he didnât do anything. Diluc shakes his head and tells you to stop working here and that you donât have to work because he can fully support the both of you. You argue back saying youâre going to continue working here whether or not he likes it or not. Then march out of the bar leaving him behind.Â
Diluc then quickly follows you after telling Charles heâs got to go. He also turns to Kaeya and begrudgingly thanks him and leaves. Kaeya knows you two got into an argument but he definitely knows you arenât too mad because you left still wearing his jacket.Â
After you thought about it for two days you realized you overreacted. You barely let him explain why he thought about you stopping now you feel bad because you havenât spoke to him in three days. So you sat down in front of the fire waiting for him to get back from his Dark Knight Hero patrol.Â
Diluc walks into his mansion expecting it to be pitch black but he sees you sitting in front of a fire. He sets his sword by the entrance then makes his way over to you.Â
He kneels in front of you and breaks the silence, âHey, everything okay? Did you have a nightmare, is that why youâre down here?âÂ
Oh this man even when youâre giving him the silent treatment he is still asking if youâre okay. You shake your head and respond, âNo I was waiting for you to apologize.â You brush his bangs out of his eyes, âIâm sorry Diluc. I overreacted and didnât let you explain why you wanted me to stop. I just want to help you and not sit around here all day. Plus working at the bar with you is so fun. I get to see you in a whole different light and I love it. I donât want to let go of that.âÂ
Diluc gives you a smile and reaches for your hand and gives it a tight squeeze, âNo pretty girl itâs me who should be apologizing. Iâm sorry for getting so mad, I just hate seeing you get harassed. It also didnât help Kaeya was the one to help you and not me. But you donât have to stop. Just every time you work I want to be there so I can stop it or prevent it.â
You smile down at him and squeeze his hand, âThat is perfectly okay with me. I have more fun working with you anyways, sorry Charles. I love you Diluc.â
Diluc smiles and brings your hand to his lips to give your knuckles a soft kiss and replies without hesitation, âI love you too.âÂ
Jing Yuan
You thought you believed the phrase âwisdom comes with ageâ because that is Jing Yuan in his entirety. But now? You are starting to doubt that very much, because itâs not very wise to have wise to have an old friend spear you to take out an enemy now is it?Â
While you do understand that everyone was ready to defeat Phantylia at any cost, you really didnât think that Jing Yuan would try to sacrifice himself in the process. Did he even think at all during that moment? Let alone think about how heâd leave you behind? Youâve already been left behind by so many people, and Jing Yuan knows all about how thatâs affected you. So why would he try to leave you behind too?
When Jing Yuan first comes back after the fight was over, his first priority was to see you. He wanted to make sure you were okay, and he wanted to make sure that you didnât find out about his little stunt against the Lord Ravager. He didnât want you to worry about him. But unfortunately for him, March 7th found you first and told you all about the fight, including Dan Heng hurling his spear through him.
To say you were upset and fuming might have been the understatement of the century, because as soon as he came into your line of sight you were glaring daggers at him. Yanqing had been right next to you when Jing Yuan came up to you and he could feel the anger coming off of you so he turned around and ran off before he got caught in the middle of a âloverâs quarrelâ as the General called them.
âGOOD LUCK GENERAL DONâT DIE!â Yanqing gave his best regards to the General before scampering off to avoid your rage. Jing Yuan tilted his head amusedly before fully looking at your expression. âNow what could have you this angry, my dear?â If it was even possible you narrowed your eyes even further and harshly grabbed his wrist and dragged him to your shared home.Â
The entire time you were dragging him tears were burning in your eyes because even though you are behind thrilled that Jing Yuan is safe and sound you canât help but think that he wanted to leave you behind too, just like everyone else. âMy dear, can I request that you be a little less harsh, your grip is beginning to hurt my wrist? Also, may I know what is troubling you so much? You know you can confide in my right my dear?â
When he said that you had reached his room and you dragged him to the nearest chair and shoved him in it, while also being careful not to aggravate his glaringly obvious injury. When you lift up his shirt to take a look at the injury and once you see the blood seeping through the bandages, you take a minute to take a deep breath before finally talking to him.Â
âJing Yuan, tell me were you really trying to leave me behind too? Why would you ever think that having your old friend throw his spear through you to defeat an enemy is alright?! Donât you always teach Yanqing to not be reckless?? What you did goes against those teachings donât you think?! Please, Iâm begging you, tell me why you thought that was the best course of action? Did you even think at all? Let alone about leaving me behind, like everyone else has?!âÂ
Jing Yuanâs eyes widen in alarm before heâs trying to get up to comfort you. âDonât you even think about getting up Jing Yuan! Do you want to make your injury worse?â At that he say right back down and responded sitting down. âMy dear let it be known that what I did was the only option that we had to defeat that Lord Ravager, lest I become a Mara Struck. That, my dear, wouldâve been much worse a fate than I would ever allow you to witness. I am deeply sorry for worrying you, know this, I will never leave you behind, not if I can help it. Though as an Arbiter General you just realize that I cannot choose my death as freely as others can.âÂ
You turn around after he finishes and he realizes that you had been crying this entire time. âI know that Jing Yuanâs, I knew that the second I got into this relationship with you that your life as an Arbiter General was not going to lead to a pretty death, but sacrificing yourself like you did is beyond me! What would the Luofu do without you? What would I do without you?? Please just donât leave me behind, I canât take anyone else leaving me.â
Jing Yuanâs eyes soften and he beckons you to come closer to him. As soon as you reach him heâs standing up and wrapping his arms round you and kissing your forehead. âMy dear I will never leave you, not of my own accord and that I swear on my life. I am deeply sorry for any pain I have caused during this time. When I am fully healed I intend to make this up to you to the best of my abilities.â You gently wrap your arms around him and place your head on his chest. âI will hold you to that my darling, I love you so much.â He smiles softly down at you before leaning his head on top on your head. âAnd I love you so much more dearest.â
The next day Yanqing giggled and smiled smugly before remarking with hand gestures and all. âI see the General lived through yet another âloverâs quarrelâ. Nice job General, Iâm impressed, can I have a few pointers?â Jing Yuan looked at him with the most deadpan expression before smiling softly and telling Yanqing to get back to training.
Lyney
A magicianâs charm is like no other, that is the first thing you learned when you met Lyney. And it became even more prominent when you got into a relationship with him. His charm is his best quality and it attracts so many people, including unwanted gazes of new assistants of his.
As his popularity as a magician was increasing, Lyney decided that he should get a few more assistants to make his shows run more smoothly. And you are perfectly fine with him getting more assistants, after all that thatâs how you two met. But this new assistant he chose is getting in every last one on your nerves, because who is she to flirt nonstop and try to get to get with your magician, when it is incredibly obvious that you two are together?
While you are helping prep for Lyneyâs next show, it seems that the new assistant, Louise as youâve unfortunately come to learn, is yet again all over Lyney. Instead of actually preparing the necessary materials for the show, Louise is clinging to Lyneyâs and asking about a million questions about completely random topics. Everyone in the room can see that Louise has the hots for Lyney, his magicianâs charm seems to work wonders, must to your dismay.Â
Even though he has a show to prep for and he has a girlfriend, Lyney doesnât try to stop Louise and her antics at all, he even answers all of her random questions. Itâs quite disheartening to see your boyfriend have another girl all over him and him not stop any of those advances, it makes it look like he doesnât have a girlfriend when he actually does.Â
âOh Lyney! What are you going to have for dinner after this? Do you want to go get dinner together? Iâd love to have dinner with you!â You had to walk away to keep yourself from gagging at her horrible flirting. Though you stopped when you heard Lyneyâs chuckle in response. âOh my dear, what a most generous offer that is indeed! I have yet to make plans for dinner, but I will get back to you on my thoughts on dinner after this show, so wait for me alright?âÂ
When you heard him say that your heart broke and you couldnât help but let the tears fall from your eyes. Was he really going to have dinner with another girl, when having dinner with you, Lynette, and Freminet, has been your tradition since you guys were in your âcourting stageâ as Lyney loved to call it.Â
Lynette, who saw the whole interaction, was also very stunned that Lyney was entertaining the thought of having dinner with someone else. She walked up to Lyney and told him that the show was starting soon and that he needed to get on stage and then immediately went to find you. When she found you, you were sitting on one of the boxes that was backstage hugging your knees to your chest and your head buried on top of them. Lynette could tell that you had heard what Lyney said and walked up to you.
âHey, I heard what that idiot said, just try not to take it to heart I guess. Heâs not one to let people know theyâre bothering him. If I had to guess heâs, probably, going to turn her down after the show. If itâs any consolation, I am also mad that he would ditch us for that idiot of a girl.â You look up at Lynette while she talks and silently nod your head in agreement.Â
After the show ended, the first thing Lyney did was look for you because you were always waiting backstage with a hug and a kiss for him. When he didnât immediately see you when he walked off stage, he was very confused because you had never missed your routine hug and kiss, itâs become a tradition for you two. While he is looking for you, Louise clings onto his arm and begins questioning him about dinner again. He looks down at her and says that heâs looking for you and that he canât talk right now. Louise letâs go at that and walks away.
Once Lyney finds you, he realizes that you havenât moved since the show began. âHello there, my dove! Let us go home now shall we?â You look up at him silently and get off the box you were sitting on and begin walking out. Lyneyâs eyes widen in alarm once he sees the dried streaks of tears on your face and when you start walking he rushes to grab your hand.Â
âOh my dearest dove, what could have you crying?â You shake your head and continue walking, because you canât handle talking to him right now. Not after him basically accepting to eat dinner with another girl. He decides to leave it alone until you get home because that is the best place to discuss what happened. Once you two get to your home, you fumble with the key to unlock the door and more tears begin to fall out of your eyes in frustration.Â
Lyney sees this and gently grabs the key out of your hand and unlocks the door. He grabs your hand and pulls you to your shared room, so that you two can sort all of this out in private. Once you reach your room you let go of his hand and sit on the bed and pull your knees to your chest again and look away from Lyney. His eyes soften and he walks around to the other side of the bed and wraps his arms around you.
âMy dove, what is it thatâs troubling you? Please talk to me, I want to help you but I canât do that if you donât tell me what the problem is.â You shake your head and mumble âitâs nothing, just go have dinner with Louise.â His eyes widen again before he realizes that you mustâve hear him and Louise talking about dinner before the show.Â
âOh my dearest dove, I was never going to entertain her and have dinner with her. I just didnât want to create animosity before the show, though you have my deepest apologies for even saying that I could have dinner with her. I will never have dinner with anyone but you, Lynette, and Freminet. You have my word on that, I promise. So please forgive me for making you cry.âÂ
You look up at him and swiftly wrap your arms around him and bury your head in his chest. âPlease never do that again, I donât think my heart could take it. I love you too much for you to do that.â He lightly kisses the top of your head before responding, âmy dearest I love you more than you could possibly know.â
Letâs just say that he got an earful from Lynette when it was time for dinner, because no way was he ever eating with anyone eot on her watch.
Moze
Birthday presents are surprises. At least thatâs how theyâre supposed to be. Moze does not seem to understand this, not at all. Mozeâs birthday was coming up and you wanted to surprise him, but could he let that happen? No apparently he could not, and he just had to spoil your surprise.
His birthday was coming up and you wanted to surprise him and get him a new custom dagger, you thought he would really like it. So when you decided what to get him, you got up extra early that morning and slipped out of your shared bed to go to the blacksmith. You made sure you were extra quiet so you didnât wake Moze up and spoil your surprise.Â
When you finally made it to the blacksmith and made your order you decided to walk around and get some food. The dagger wouldnât be ready until later that week so you had a lot of time on your hands. You decided to bring some food back for Moze and when you got back to your shared home he appeared out of nowhere and nearly gave you a heart attack.
âMoze seriously you got to stop appearing out of nowhere like that, youâre going to give me a heart attack one day.â He softly laughs and wraps his arms around you. âWhereâd you run off to this early in the morning my love? You never get up this early.â You panic internally for a moment before you remember that you got food too, so you donât have to worry about spoiling his surprise. âI went and got some food for us for breakfast, I woke up early and couldnât fall back asleep, so I thought why not get some food?â He takes that answer and leave it at that.
Later that week you had to go pick up the dagger again, conveniently it was the day of Mozeâs birthday. That day you got up early once more and snuck out of bed to go pick up his present. Though little did you know that when Moze woke up not long after he was surprised to not find you in bed once again, 2 times in one week? Thatâs suspicious, so he wanted to make sure you were okay, so he decided to go look for you.Â
He was looking all around the Yaoqing and he found you outside a blacksmith holding and admiring a dagger. What could you possibly need with a dagger? He decided to walk up to you to ask you about it and once he was in front of you, you about jumped out of your skin. âMoze! I swear please stop appearing out of nowhere!â You also realize that you have the dagger on full display so you quickly hide it behind your back.Â
âNow why are you hiding a dagger behind your back my love? Thatâs dangerous you know.â You then realize that he caught you red handed and quickly put the dagger in the bag you had along with the little card you made inside and shove it in his hands and run off. He stands there stunned at the fact that you just ran away, but before following you he looked inside the bag that you had given him. It held the dagger and a cute little note that said âHappy Birthday Moze! I love youâ with a little heart next to it. He then realized that today was indeed his birthday and he came to the realization that he spoiled your gift for him.
When he finds you after he looked at your gift, you are in your shared room on the bed with your head between your knees silently crying, though he could still hear it, it is Moze after all. He quickly puts the bag on the nightstand and gets on the bed and pulls you into his lap. âMy dearest love you have my deepest apologies for spoiling your gift for me. I wanted to make sure you were okay since you left so early but that does not excuse me from spoiling your surprise. Please forgive me my love.â
You look up at him teary eyed and bury your face in his neck. âYou really donât get the point of surprises do you, please try not to be so nosy around your birthday next year. I love you too much to have your birthday surprise spoiled.â He laughs softly before gently taking your head out of his neck and softly kissing your lips. âAnd I love you, Iâll try not to be so nosy next year, though I did forget it was my birthday in all fairness.â Your jaw drops at that and you realize that you have a new story to tell Jiaoqiu and Feixiao.
Letâs just say you three did not let him live down forgetting his own birthday, but you did it by giving him the best birthdays ever. Though when you told Jiaoqiu and Feixiao about all of this, Moze was lectured for hours on how to not ruin a surprise.
Neuvillette
Neuvillette is stressed. He doesnât completely get âthe silent treatmentâ. Why is it even a thing? Donât humans love communicating? So why do they do this to themselves?Â
Furina watches in amusement seeing all the gears in Neuvilletteâs turn trying to figure out why youâre giving him the silent treatment. You went to her to talk about how much heâs been working and it feels like he doesnât even try to make time for you two anymore. She told you to talk to him about it because thatâs the only way itâs ever going to get fixed. Little did she know it was going to make everything worse.Â
You went to talk to Neuvillette about it that night after you talked with Furina and he completely brushed it off. All he said was âWhat do you mean? Arenât we spending time together now? We do this every night, get ready together and go to bed. Thatâs spending time together.âÂ
You try to explain that you want to do more than that. You want to go on a date with him, you want to go on a walk, or even just stay in and cuddle. All he said back was âAs the Iudex I am quite busy and you know that.â Then went to bed. Since then youâve been ignoring him and going to bed before he gets home so now his routine is thrown off and he hates it.Â
Furina speaks up, âMy dear Iudex what is troubling you?âÂ
Neuvillette looks up at Furina and asks âWhy am I getting the silent treatment? I donât get itâÂ
âWell Neuvillette, do you make time for her? Do you take her on dates? Do you get her flowers? Do you show her you love her?â
Neuvillette clears his throat and looks away, âUm⌠noâŚâ
âHere lies your problem. Itâs like how you make time every week to have a tea party with me and relax. Or catch up with Sigewinne. Youâre not making time for your girlfriend you claim to love.â
Neuvillette sits there and reflects on this. He looks at Furina and says, âI must go. I have to fix this.âÂ
Furina smiles and dismisses him as he walks out she calls out to him, âThereâs no cases today so take the rest of the day off. But you have to start planning this stuff on your own.â Neuvillette shakes his head and leaves his office.Â
He stops on his way back home to get you flowers and some baked goods. Neuvillette arrives home and looks for you. He sees you and walks towards where youâre sitting in the bay window.Â
Youâre shocked when you see Neuvillette home so early and then you see whatâs in his hands. He has flowers and baked treats.Â
Neuvillette reaches you and begins to ramble, âMy love I am so sorry. I didnât put into perspective your feelings and how you want to spend more time with me. Which you 100% deserve because we are in a relationship and as a good boyfriend I must be present and make time for you. So after today I am going to make more time for you. I mean well it starts today as well because I am taking you out for dinner tonight. But in the mean time enjoy these flowers and treats I got you. I promise I wonât ever do this again. I love you so much.âÂ
You watch and Neuvillette catches his breath after that long declaration but it makes you smile. You scoot over and make room for him to sit next to you. You pat the cushion and he is quick to listen and sit next to you. You grab the flowers and treats and put them to the other side of you.Â
You turn to give your full attention to Neuvillette. You reach out your hands and cup his face, âThank you Neuvillette, that means a lot to me. I canât wait for the date tonight and for many other moments together. I love you so much.â You go to give him a kiss which he quickly returns and pulls you closer to him.Â
Once you two break apart you stare lovingly at each other. Neuvillette vows to himself he will never have this happen again because he HATES the silent treatment.Â
Sunday
Youâve known Sunday and Robin since you were kids. The three of you were always playing together and created some unforgettable memories. Robin could tell yours and Sundayâs feelings grew into something stronger as you three got older. She made it her mission to get you two together before she left Penacony which she was successful with.Â
You laugh at her determination now but it also breaks your heart. You are Sundayâs girlfriend but you never knew what he was planning and what he was going through. You canât help but blame yourself a little bit with not being able to stop him. But youâve heard heâs out of confinement and planning on leaving. Is he really leaving you behind again? Can he not say goodbye? You look at the stars and wonder what will happen.Â
You hear a cautious hello behind you which makes you turn around. You see a young man with gray hair and a girl with pink and blue hair. You recognize them being the nameless that helped Penacony. âWhy hello you two. Iâm sorry I donât remember your names could you remind me?â
The girl introduced herself as March 7th and the young man introduced himself as Caelus. March then asks, âMiss youâre Sundayâs girlfriend right?âÂ
You smile at her, âYes I am. I am sorry for all the trouble Sunday has caused you. Only if I knew I could have tried to stop him. But if youâre here to ask where he is, I donât know. I just know heâs leaving and he could have left.âÂ
March quick responds, âOh we arenât looking for him. We were curious if you would like to come with us? Like back to the Astral Express? We want to invite you to become a Nameless if you would want to.âÂ
You think about the offer and quickly agree because you donât exactly have a purpose right now. This can give you what youâre looking for.Â
March and Caelus took you back to the express where they showed you around and introduced you to Himeko, Dan Heng, and Pom Pom. Himeko tells you everyone has agreed to make you a Namless and that Welt is bringing someone else back to see if the Express wants them as a Nameless. To kill time you sit with March and Caelus.Â
You hear the door open and you see Welt and someone walking behind him. The person feels so familiar. March and Caelus stand up and walk over which you follow them. You stand behind them listening to Welt catch everyone up. Then you see him walk out from behind Welt. The man you dreamed of seeing since this whole disaster started.Â
Everyone begins to vote and say yes. Sunday looks happy but Pom Pom is quick to say, âWell we havenât heard from our other new recruit. What do you think?â You step out from Caelus and March and make eye contact with Sunday and he sucks in a breath. âYes I agree. He should become a Namless.â Everyone smiles and cheers for Sunday but he is frozen in place.Â
As soon as you and Sunday recite the creed you quickly go off ignoring Sunday. He tries to reach out for you but he realizes itâs futile. He knows he messed up. Welt comes up behind him and places a hand on his shoulder, âDonât give up so fast. Youâre on a new journey, donât you want her on it? Go and talk to her.âÂ
Sunday quickly follows where he saw you go and sees you looking at the stars. He takes a deep breath and walks over to stand next to you, âArenât they beautiful? Theyâre real and not fake ones. Iâve grown to learn that someday we will wake up from our dreams and have to face reality. I know that better than anyone now. After saying goodbye to Penacony and Robin I realized that I must start a new path. I regret not finding you first. Youâve always been in my path, dreams, future, anything really. I am lucky the Nameless are giving me this chance to fix everything. My angel I am so sorry. I should have went to you first, but I just thought about how I shouldnât. You shouldnât have to deal with a criminal and someone that went on the wrong path.â He starts to tear up, âAeons I cannot imagine a life without you. I want you in my life and I want to take this next step with you. I am truly and deeply sorry for all I have caused. I love you so much. I understand if you donât want to be with me anymore but just know if you give me another chance Iâll do everything in my power to prove to you I will change.âÂ
You turn to face him and start to cry looking at his tears. You dive right into his chest and hold onto him tight. He quickly wraps his arms around you and cries with you. You missed this, you missed him. Sundayâs familiar scent is home to you.Â
You hiccup, âSunday, Sundayâ you grip him tighter. âI donât care if youâre criminal. I donât care if you walked the wrong path. I want you. Yes it hurt that you didnât say goodbye but I know that it isnât necessary because anywhere you go, Iâll follow. Iâll always be right with you because I love you so much. I want nothing more than to continue this Nameless journey with you.âÂ
Sunday takes a deep breath and buries his face in your neck and plants light kisses on your neck. Between kisses he thanks you and promises you it will always be you and him.Â
Venti
When youâve been alive as long as Venti has, you tend to not forget things you find precious or important. At least thatâs what you had come to think. But now you are starting to doubt that. Because why else would you be sitting in front of Windrise for hours all by yourself, with all the picnic essentials, and no sign of your lovely bard showing up, if he didnât forget?
When it started to get dark you decided that you had waited long enough for Venti to show up and made your way back to the city. When you walked through the gates you run into Rosaria, which was a pleasant surprise because you only really see her when you go to Angelâs Share with Venti.Â
âOh, hey there Rosaria! How are you doing tonight?â She tilts her head at you and looks at you a little confusedly, âhuh Iâm surprised you arenât at Angelâs Share with that bard tonight. Heâs never there without you anymore, something happen between you two?â Now itâs your turn to look at her confused because what does she mean Venti is at Angelâs Share tonight?
âRosaria, what do you mean? Heâs at Angelâs Share right now?â You then mumble to yourself âthat would explain why he didnât come to Windrise for our picnic date then I guess.â Her eyes widen just a fraction before she narrows them. âYouâre telling me he skipped out on your date to go drinking with Kaeya, what a lousy guy.â
You let that all sink in before tears start forming in your eyes at the realization that you were in fact ditched by your beloved. You let your head fall before you quietly tell Rosaria that youâre going to go home now.
When you get to yours and Ventiâs shared home you place the picnic basket on the counter and you immediately go to your shared room. You change out of your clothes and hop into your bed, and it doesnât take long for the tears to pour out of your eyes. Next thing you know you hear Venti walk into the room, and you donât even want to know how long itâs been but youâre awake now but facing away from the door.Â
When he gets into bed you realize that you are now facing him and you will yourself to go back to sleep, because you donât want to cry anymore tonight. When he fully settles into bed he softly looks at you and notices that youâre awake and softly whispers to you.
âWell hello there my windblume, what has you up at this hour? Sleep is important you know.â He reaches to cup your face and when he rubs his finger across your cheek he realizes that itâs kinda of wet. âOh my windblume, whatever could have you crying?â He pulls you into his chest, and you immediately try to pull out of his hold and turn around.Â
He looks at you quizzically because you have never pulled away from him before. Did he upset you in some way? âMy dearest, please talk to me, I wish to know what is upsetting you. Allow me to be the one you confide in my windblume.â You sigh before whispering softly, because thatâs all you can manage without crying again.
âVenti do you remember what we planned to do today? Am I really that forgettable? That you would stand me up on our picnic date that weâve been planning for weeks? Was drinking with Kaeya really more important than our picnic?â Ventiâs face pales at what you said because he realizes that he totally forgot about your guysâ date.Â
âOh my dearest windblume, no apology could ever be worth your forgiveness and tears. But please allow me to apologize all the same, I have no excuse for forgetting our date. Please allow me to make it up to you in any way possible, Iâd even do the impossible for you because that is what you are worth. I hope you can find it within your heart to forgive me for this transgression but I know that an apology alone will not suffice. My beloved I am truly sorry.âÂ
Venti then wraps his arms around your waist and gently kisses the top of your head. You sigh softly and turn around in his embrace, hug him tightly, and bury your head in his chest. âPlease never forget about me again my beloved bard, I couldnât stand it ever again.â He takes one hand from around your waist and brings it to tilt your head up towards him and he gently kisses your lips. âNever again my beloved muse, I will never forget you again.â
Letâs just say from that point on you guys were practically glued to each other, you could never find one of you without the other, and thatâs just how everyone came to know and love Venti the bard and his muse.
Wriothesley
The strong and formidable Duke is passionate in his job. Maybe sometimes a little too much for your liking. Which is why you are shocked to hear from a guard that a big brawl broke out and your boyfriend was in the middle of it and didnât leave unscathed.Â
You went up to the surface to get some quick refills of some supplies you and Sigewinne needed before the bigger supply would come to the fortress. After hearing the news you quickly run to the fortress to see the wounded and you can tell the guys that were on the receiving end of your boyfriend. But you donât see the man in question here.Â
Sigewinne sees you come in and walks to meet you. âIf youâre wondering where His Grace is, he isnât here. I think he went to his office after the brawl. Go to him and Iâll stay here.â You nod and tell her to send a guard if she needs your help.Â
You walk to his office and smile at the guards and tell them not to come in. You hear grunts coming from upstairs knowing he is in pain. You head up the stairs and see him on his chair. You walk to one of the cabinets and grab the mini first aid kit you kept in here for situations like these. It only makes your blood boil now.Â
You got the kit and walk over to Wriothesley. You take a good look at his bruised face, split lip, blood dripping from his eyebrows, and scraped up knuckles. You see his nicely done hair flattened against his forehead and his nice dress clothes out of place. Then you see his bright blue eyes staring right at you. Wriothesley smirks at you, âIt was a rough one wasnât it haha.âÂ
You glare at him and unbutton his bloodied gray vest so he isnât wearing bloodied clothes, âOhhh so thatâs what you want. You wanna have some fun sweetheart?âÂ
You glare at him again and take off the vest. Then grab the kit and start working on his face. You clean up the blood and put some bandages on his face then some ointment on his split lip. âHey leave some scars, gotta scare the prisoners somehow.âÂ
Once again you sent him a glare, âWow thatâs a death glare. Wait why arenât you talking?â What a real funny question, he promised you last time he wouldnât take on a big brawl again. But he obviously didnât keep that promise. It makes you angry and upset. You just want him to stay safe, is that too much to ask?Â
You reach for his left hand start to clean and bandage it. You then switch to his right hand and canât stop the tears that fall. Which fall right onto his knuckle which makes his freak. âHey wait why are you crying? Sweetheart come on please look at me.â He grabs your chin and sees your tear stained eyes. âTalk to me please. I canât help if you donât tell me whatâs wrong.âÂ
You sniffle and let more tears fall, âYou broke your promise. You told me you wouldnât take on a brawl by yourself again. Wriothesley I get youâre the Duke but seriously hold yourself in a higher regard. You are still a person and donât deserve to be beaten up to stop a fight. You have people that can help you break it up. Itâs not your burden to carry all by yourself. Donât you care about your body? Because I do. I care SO much. I donât want to see your beautiful face beaten up and your nice clothes ripped and bloodied. It breaks my heart and I canât keep seeing you like this.âÂ
Wriothesley stops, wait were you breaking up with him? âSweetheart please donât break up with me. I know I promise, and Iâm very sorry I broke it. Iâm the Duke and I want to send a message and not have my men get hurt over stuff I can handle on my own. I truly promise from now on Iâll go into these situations better. Iâll bring extra men just archons donât break up with me. I love you so much it hurts.âÂ
You think he misinterpreted the last thing you said but at least this promise seems like one he wonât break. You smile at him, âIâm not breaking up with you handsome. You misunderstood.â You brush your hands through his hair, âI just donât like seeing you hurt. I like seeing your handsome face free of blood and bruises. I love you so much too Wriothesley.âÂ
Wriothesley smiles up at you and pulls you toward him and slots his lips with yours. You feel like with this kiss heâs sealing your promise.Â
Yanqing
Yanqing is not only recovering from his little run in with Blade and Dan Heng but is now having a crisis because youâre ignoring him for some reason?? He tried to ask Jing Yuan why you were avoiding him, but he was like âI donât know Yanqing, I think you need to solve your little loverâs quarrel by yourself.âÂ
To say he was bewildered might have been an understatement. All he wanted to do after he was thoroughly beat up by an infamous Stellaron Hunter and the previous High Elder was to just be in your presence and have you tend to his wounds because you always did it better than he ever could.Â
So here you sit, all by yourself, in the Exalting Sanctum, trying to calm yourself down. You just canât believe that Yanqing would try to recapture one of the Stellaron Hunters, when he knows just how dangerous they are, and all by himself on top of that.Â
When you had first heard that Yanqing had gone off on his own accord to try to recapture Blade, it wasnât even from Yanqing himself, rather from the seat of Divine Foresight himself. To say you were bewildered and just plain terrified was probably an understatement, because Blade is a very dangerous criminal with a high bounty on his head. Why would Yanqing try to go after him by himself for starters and without an order from Jing Yuan??
When he first got back after Jing Yuan told him to take his leave, he finds you sitting in Exalting Sanctum all by yourself looking quite upset. His first thought is that someone bothered you but when he reached where you were sitting all he got was a very harsh glare.Â
âHey there my dear, whatâs got you so upset? Did someone bother you?â You glare at him even harder once you see his injuries and stand up and huff before grabbing his hand and dragging him to your home. Yanqing can tell that you are very clearly upset but he canât seem to figure out why, because you have never been this mad before. You drag him to your room where you kept your medical supplies and push him to sit on your bed, and you were not that gentle with it.
He winces at the sting it causes his injuries when you push him and you glare harder at the floor. You grab your little medical kit that you have, for times just like this, and begin on working tending to his injuries. He looks at you quizzically, because by now you would have said something, anything at all in response to him, and he is growing more confused and nervous by the second, because was it something he did?
The silence between you two lasts for a little longer until he speaks up and asks âhey, did I do something wrong? Did I upset you somehow? Please just talk to me?â You look up and glare at him again before silently getting back to his injuries, and you donât know if itâs because youâre angry or because you were so nervous for his safety, but you realize that your hands are shaking.Â
Yanqing soon realizes this too and his eyes widen in alarm. âWait, why are you shaking? Please tell me whatâs wrong and Iâll do all I can to fix it, please, please just talk to me!â You begin to fumble with the last of his bandages and as soon as he sees that he grabs your hands with one of his and your face with the other. You look up at him and it doesnât take long for you to break, tears start forming in your eyes before youâre spilling whatâs bothering you.Â
âYanqing how could you think that going after a Stellaron Hunter all by yourself was a good idea?? Do you have any idea how worried I was when Jing Yuan told me that you went off on your own with no orders?? Blade is such a dangerous person and you thought that the best course of action was to go off on your own and try to recapture him?? You couldâve avoided getting these injuries, donât you know that?? It hurts me every time that I have to tend to your injuries because I know youâre out there getting hurt everyday and thereâs nothing I can do about it! Thatâs why Iâm upset Yanqing because I hate seeing you hurt!â
To say Yanqing was stunned was an understatement, because he was the reason you were upset? How could he have let that happen? âWait, Iâm so sorry my dear I never meant to upset you. I just wanted to prove myself and recapture the Stellaron Hunter after he escaped, I know heâs dangerous but I thought I could do it. Iâm sorry for overlooking your feelings when I get hurt, please forgive me.âÂ
Your eyes soften before you take your hands gently out of his and wrap your arms around him. âI forgive you Yanqing, please just stop being reckless alright?â His arms immediately come to wrap around you before he buries his head into your stomach. âI promise Iâll try to be less reckless, my dear.âÂ
Letâs just say that from that point on Jing Yuan was impressed when he noticed that Yanqing got just a little less reckless, and he mentally thanked you for that.Â

Tintin Tarot, part 2 - the Fool's Journey Continues. Part 1 can be found here! Me and @josephscoat came up with a list of Tintin characters assigned to the major arcana cards in a tarot deck after she realised how well Tintin mapped onto the Fool.
The Hanged Man - Sacrifice, martydom and hesitation. Frank Wolff's death in Explorers on the Moon really stuck with me. I watched the 90s cartoon adaptation of it with a friend recently and even though I knew what was going to happen, it still hit very hard. I replaced the living tree, which represents the potential for growth and knowledge on the original card, with the planet Earth.
Death - New beginnings, metamorphosis, fear of change and decay. Even just for the imagery I had to use Rascar Capac. His use in the narrative seems to demonstrate a fear of the unknown. As the Hierophant and the child from the Sun card appear on the original Death card, I opted to use Rascar Capac as he's in the same story as the Prince of the Sun and Zorrino, who we assigned to the Hierophant and the Sun respectively! Professor Tarragon replaces the dying person on the ground in the original card, and Inti the Incan sun god watches over the scene.
Temperance - Middle path, patience, finding meaning, but also could mean excess and a lack of balance when reversed. Haddock is famous for his tendency to fly off the handle at a moment's notice. But Haddock also has endless patience for Tintin's bullshit. His character arc is one of finding meaning in his life after hitting rock bottom. He is pouring bottles of Loch Lomond, as seen in the Magician card.
The Devil - Addiction, lust, materialism, playfulness. Who else is more devillish than Tintin's arch nemesis, Rastapopoulos? His schemes grow wilder and larger as he pursues wealth and revenge. While sexuality is famously absent from the Tintin series, Rastapopoulos and his associates certainly lust over money and control. Tom and Allan are held in chains, though they are clearly removeable. The choice is theirs if they wish to walk away.
The Tower - Sudden upheaval, disaster, but also an avoidance of disaster in reverse. Calculus' reusable nuclear powered moon rocket was literally ahead of its time, representing a huge shake up in technological advancement in the Tintin universe. However, the moon mission attracted a lot of sabotage and disaster which was narrowly avoided. While the characters had to rely on the rocket for safety, it's not necessarily predictable.
The Star - Hope and rejuvenation, but also discouragement and insecurity in reverse. The phostile meteorite ushered a global wave of panic and speculation initially, but once it landed it became a beacon for competing factions to get to in time. It has a property that allows living things to grow quickly and abnormally large, representing the abundance the Star card is supposed to signal. The Star is supposed to follow the trauma of the Tower. Picking the rocket and meteorite felt thematically appropriate as both have associations with space, a relatively new frontier.
The Moon - Illusions, intuition, fear, confusion, misinterpretation. Professor Phostle jumps to conclusions and makes wild predictions from shaky calculations. He's also conveniently moon shaped.
The Sun - Inner child, joy, truth and liberation from struggle, or sadness and self doubt in reverse. Zorrino escapes the torment and bullying in his village and joins the Inca. Haddock and Tintin are immediately protective over him, with Zorrino being a little younger than Tintin.
Judgement - Releasing baggage, call to action, renewal, moving forward. Ramo Nash breaks free from Rastapopoulos' grasp and saves Tintin's life. I decided to depict the final confrontation scene from Alph Art where he pushes Rastapopoulos off a cliff, to his end.
The World - Culmination, success, completion, but stagnation in reverse. The Fool has seemingly completed his journey - Tintin has it all, a successful fulfilling career, friends who care about him and a manion to live in. But he is, by design, stagnant. Forever a cherub faced boy, stuck in an episodic serial by nature, HergĂŠ wanted to kill him off by sealing him inside a resin statue, freezing him in place for eternity. He will forever be the Boy Reporter.
I dressed him as a Morris dancer because I thought it would be funny

Bruce is (secretly) married [Bruce/Danny; Spirit Halloween]
I got sucked into the DPxDC crossover rabbit hole. I have read too many fanfics despite not knowing the source material.
I randomly got the idea of Bruce being secretly married and the Batfam finding out about it after Duke poses the question of why Bruce wears a ring. (Also how Danny's influence would have subtly changed things.)
Read this on ao3. Masterpost
Next.
Bruce had always worn the ring, long before Dick came around â at least thatâs what the boy had told Jason when he asked about it.Â
They had looked through the records one night â bonding over finding out when he started, but he had already worn the ring once the man returned from his seven year long journey of training. The media had speculated it to be a family heirloom â either his fatherâs or motherâs wedding ring. Bruce neither confirmed or denied when they asked about it. Â
The man never took it off, not even when he stalked the night as Batman and neither of them had been brave enough to ask about it, after they watched clips where the media asked and his Brucie mask slipped into something uncomfortably blank.Â
Jason had quickly forgotten about it after Bruce had benched him from being Robin after Felipe Garzonasaâs death. He had been furious, questioning if Bruce didnât believe him that he didnât push the man.
âOf course I believe you, chum,â the man had said, but Jason didnât trust the manâs words. âBut you just saw a man die. Thatâs not something we should brush over.â
He had sent Jason to bed for the night, but the boy had sneaked out, believing Bruce to go back to patrol after dropping him off. He instead found him in his office, talking to someone on the phone.
â...You have better experience with stuff like this than meâŚâ the man said. âDo you think I should have never given Jason Robin? I know Dick agreed, butâŚâ Bruce trailed off and then paused to hear the other personâs response. âI know.â He let out a deep sigh. âIâll talk to him tomorrow about it. Are you still planning on visiting for the anniversary? I would appreciate if you tried talking to-â
Jason didnât wait to listen for more. He knew it. Bruce was going to take Robin away from him.Â
He remembered the picture he had found of his birth mother. He initially had wanted to tell Bruce to get his help to find her, but now he isnât sure if itâs such a good idea. If the man was gonna take Robin away from him anyway, he didnât want to be there for the moment.Â
With that goal in mind, unbeknownst to Bruce, he disappeared that night, setting out to the Middle East to find his mother.Â
Bruce finds his corpse several weeks later. Dick breaks down in space when he receives the call from Bruce. They attend the funeral together, neither of them talking about it, even years later.
Jason returns several years later, dead set on revenge on Joker and on Bruce for never avenging him. What he doesnât expect is to stumble over a newspaper celebrating the anniversary of the Jason Scholarship Foundation along with pictures of his funeral, showcasing both Bruce and Dick crying.Â
He never stumbles upon a memorial with his battered Robin suit and the description âJason Todd, a Good Soldierâ and beats Tim Drake, the third Robin half dead for replacing him. Instead he returns to the Manor, overwhelmed at Bruceâs breakdown and reaction. Red Hood debuts several months later â with the Bat symbol on his chest. They still have their conflicts, but Jason never has to fill a duffel bag full of heads for his debut.Â
Itâs only once Damian arrives, Cass becomes Bruceâs daughter and Duke his ward that the topic of the ring gets brought up again. Itâs Duke who asks what they all have been thinking.Â
âBy the way, why does Bruce wear a ring?â
Finding no information online and not managing to get anything out of Alfred, they break into Bruceâs office while heâs on patrol getting distracted by Damian and Cass. Itâs Tim who finds it, in a locked drawer, sealed carefully.
A marriage certificate.Â
âWho the hell is Daniel Fenton?â Jason questions gruffly.
âMy husband.â
Jason startles, turning to the doorway. Bruce is standing there, his arm crossed and he cringes at the displeased raise of Bruceâs right eyebrow. Behind him Cass shrugs at Timâs questioning gaze while Damian clicks his tongue.
âWhy havenât we met him? And, wait, does Dick know about this?â Tim asks.Â
Bruce lets out a deep sigh as he fiddles with the ring - the wedding ring.Â
âLetâs go somewhere else for this.â
They all shuffle to one of their smaller living rooms. Duke sets up a voice call so Dick, who is back in BlĂźdhaven, doesn't have to miss out. Tim is on his own computer, no doubt researching everything he can find on Daniel Fenton. Or would he be Daniel Wayne?Â
Itâs Damian who breaks the silence.
âFather. Explain.â
The man presses his lips together as he stares down into his tea. Alfred squeezes his shoulder behind him.Â
âThe reason you havenât met Danny is because heâs dead.â Bruce pauses while his kids pale. âTechnically.â
Before either of them can question that, suddenly a young white haired boy appears, sitting on Bruce armâs chair, eyebrow raised and wearing a black and white hazmat suit.
âShouldnât I be here for this?â
In an instant all of them sans Bruce and Alfred are on alert, Tim has a Batarang in hand, Jason one of his guns and Damian a knife poised to the unknown boyâs neck.
Itâs Bruce who diffuses the situation.
âDanny?â Bruce sounds disbelieving and Damian twitches, knife still in hand.Â
âIn the flesh.â The boy does jazz hands, neck grazing the knife, but it doesnât draw any blood. âOr ectoplasm. Whatever.â
âHow wonderful of you to surprise us with your presence Master Danny,â Alfred says, tone slightly sarcastic and Damian finally steps back, eyebrows knitted together.Â
Danny winces.Â
âI would have warned you, but Clockwork just dropped me off, telling me that itâs finally time.â
âThis is your husband?â Duke bursts out.Â
The boy bows playfully.
âDanny Fenton-Wayne. King of the Infinite Realms. Half ghost and-â Suddenly he transforms, white rings traveling over his body and leaving behind a middle-aged black haired man. â-Half human.â
âGHOST?â
âHALF HUMAN?â
âKING OF THE INFINITE REALMS?â
âThank fuck I thought Bruce was a pedophile for a moment.â
Everyone turns to stare at Duke.
âWhat? I just said what everyone thought,â the boy defends himself.
âActually that would be ephebophilia,â Danny corrects. âAlthough he would still classify as a necrophile.âÂ
Bruce punches the manâs forearm, rolling his eyes with a fond look and Danny yelps, rubbing the spot.
âHey! If anyone is allowed to joke about it, itâs me!â the man complains with a pout and Bruce shakes his head.Â
âAnother reason why you never met Danny is because â believe it or not â heâs the King of the Infinite Realms, which means he is quite busy.â
âSo much paperwork,â Danny groans. âIf I get Constantineâs ass, I swear to the Ancients that heâs gonna die. Half a decade lost because I had to bargain for his soul pieces!â
âAfter I returned to Gotham to become Batman, the Infinite Realms unfortunately fell into war following a coup attempt, leaving Danny to deal with the mess.â
âAnd Clockwork prohibited me from visiting the Gotham until a certain point, claiming that I would change the timeline too much with my influence,â Danny finishes for Bruce, all of Bruceâs kids watching with fascination how seamlessly they seem to fit together as the man leans his head against Bruceâs shoulder while Bruce runs a hand through the manâs black hair. âConsidering I would have never let Bruce run around with child vigilantes, heâs probably right.â
âI forgot you know about that,â Bruce sighs.
âJazz kept me updated,â Danny says smugly.
âThatâs a break of patient confidentiality,â Bruce grumbles.Â
âShe may be your therapist, but sheâs also my sister.â
âMr. I-Rather-Chew-Nails-than-Talk-About-My-Feelings?â Jason exclaims. âNo way!â
âI have been vocal about the fact that I go to therapy.â Bruce frowns.
âI thought you were joking!â
âWhere do you guys think I go every Sunday evening?â Bruce pinches the bridge of his nose.
âJustice League meeting?âÂ
âGolfing?â
Once again everyone stares at Duke and he flushes at the attention.
âI thought itâs a rich person thing!âÂ
Danny snorts.
âHe got you there, darling.â
âWhen and how did you guys meet?â Itâs the first time Dick actually speaks up, having observed everything â or as much as he could â through the web camera.Â
âAt a gala when both Bruce and I were teens,â Danny answers. âMy godfather dragged me into it. At least one thing I can thank him for.â
Danny smiles while Bruce grunts in agreement.Â
âThe wedding?â Tim follows up.
Both Danny and Bruche pause to think.
âDid we do the civil registration in Paris or Las Vegas?â Danny turns to Bruce. âI canât remember.â
âWe were quite drunk,â Bruce agrees.
Danny snips his fingers like he remembers something, but then he shakes his head. He puts a hand to his chin, tiling his head.Â
âOr was it Brazil?â
The rest blink at the pair before Danny shrugs with an apologetic smile.
âWe had the real wedding in the Infinite Realms though,â Danny explains, âOnce Bruce got finished with his training. The citizens wouldnât have accepted it otherwise. Alfred would have taken pictures, but technology doesnât work in the Infinite Realms.â
âSuch a shame, it was quite a nice wedding,â Alfred affirms.Â
âAlfred knew?!â is the consensus complaint.Â
âDoes Mother and Grandfather know about this?â Damian asks stiffly.
âConsidering Raâs used Bruceâs and your motherâs DNA to artificially create a baby despite knowing â he doesnât care,â Danny says just a tad-bit too cheerfully.Â
The revelation leaves everyone reeling.Â
âOkay, now that all questions are answered-â Danny doesnât give them time to inject. âCan we talk about the stinking elephant in the room?â
Bruce raises an eyebrow as Danny gestures to Jason. Jason almost would feel insulted if Danny didnât sound so genuinely surprised that nobody else said or noticed something.Â
âWhat the hell is that supposed to mean?!â Jason complains as he discreetly tries to sniff his armpits. Considering Timâs and Dickâs snickering, he doesnât succeed.Â
âYour Ectoplasm reeks like-â Danny grimaces as he flails his arms. âLike you took a bath in spoiled eggs.â
Danny turns to Bruce with an angry look in his eyes.
âEspecially you should have noticed, considering you are liminal! His core is completely malnourished.â Bruce winces. âDid you forget that I gave you a way to contact Frostbite?â
âWithout the ambient ectoplasm you radiate my ability to see ectoplasmic entities and speak and read Ghost Speak slowly degraded over the years,â Bruce explains. âI wasnât aware Jason had been a type of ectoplasmic entity.âÂ
âHis eyes literally glow green when heâs angry!â Danny chides. âHe returned from the dead for revenge. Heâs clearly a Revenant. Thatâs Ghost 101!â
Itâs amusing to see Bruce get scolded by someone else other than Alfred. Alone for that fact Jason has to admit that he begrudgingly likes Danny.Â
âAlright-â Danny stands up and tugs on Jasonâs arm. Bruce moves to follow him like second nature. âYou are coming with me right this instant.â
Before anyone can stop them, Danny transforms back into his Ghost Form, Jasonâs hand in one and Bruce in the other and steps through a glowing green portal, it vanishing shortly after. Silence follows.
âSo well that just happened.â
This time everyone agrees with Duke.Â

2025 : #7 IT'S TIME TO PROVE THEM WRONG
They doubted you, didnât they? They whispered behind your back, laughed at your plans, rolled their eyes when you spoke about your goals. And maybe, just maybe, a part of you started believing them. U need to stops now.
âď¸..2025 isnât just another yearâitâs your year. The year you stop explaining yourself. The year you stop apologizing for wanting more. The year you stop listening to the noise and start showing the world exactly who you are.
nobody owes UR respect. Nobody owes you belief in your potential. And honestly? Thatâs fine. Respect isnât handed outâitâs earned. Belief isnât giftedâitâs proven. So let them doubt you. Let them underestimate you. Because while theyâre busy talking, youâre busy building cuz u donât need approval. You donât need applause. You need discipline. You need a relentless, unshakable work ethic that will silence every critic without a single word. Thatâs how you winânot by arguing, not by defending yourself, but by succeeding so loudly they have no choice but to shut up.
Your To-Do List for Proving Them Wrong
1. Refuse to React
Let their words roll off you. Youâve got bigger things to focus on than petty opinions. Donât waste energy trying to convince people who are committed to misunderstanding you.
2. Outwork Everyone
While theyâre sleeping, youâre grinding. While theyâre wasting time, youâre sharpening your skills. Be so consistent, so disciplined, that you become undeniable.
3. Turn Pain Into Power
Every insult, every rejection, every time they said âyou canâtââuse it. Let it fuel you. Let it remind you exactly why youâre doing this.
4. Set Specific Goals and Attack Them
Write down exactly what you want to achieve this year. Break it into steps. Attack one step at a time. No distractions, no detours.
5. Stay Quiet, Let the Results Speak
Donât talk about what youâre going to doâshow them. Keep your head down, work in silence, and let your success scream for you.
The Mindset You Need
This isnât about revenge guys don't get me wrong .. itâs about self-respect. Itâs about proving to yourself that youâre capable YOU ARE THE DAMN MAIN CHARACTER that youâre strong, that youâre worth betting on. Forget what they think. Forget trying to impress anyone. This is your journey, your life, and youâre the only one who gets a say in how far you go.
When you feel like giving up, remember this: theyâre watching. Some of them want to see you fail. Some of them donât believe youâve got what it takes. Prove them wrong. Not for their approval, but to remind yourself that youâre unstoppable.
2025 is the year you go all in. No excuses. No shortcuts. No mercy. Get up, show up, and prove them wrong. The clock is tickingâwhat are you waiting for?

Why Apollo actually didn't have beef with Odysseus (spoiler for the Wisdom Saga)
Heads up, fellas: The rambling below contains spoiler for Epic the Wisdom Saga!
As we may know, in God Games, Athena needed to convince half of the Olympian council to approve Odysseus' release from Calypso's island. Apollo is the first god Athena encountered and the easiest for her to convince.
Now, why is that? Why does Apollo's beef with Odysseus seem way too easy to rebuke? He barely has any connection with the Sirens aside from the catchy songs, so why did he use them to "accuse" Odysseus (heavy on the quote-unquote because he barely even tried) and not the sacking of Troy, the murder of Astyanax, or the violation of the cows?
Here's my theory: Apollo has no real grudges against Odysseus. Apollo has every reason to be mad with the mentioned instances, but he is also the god of reason and rationality and knows there is no point in being angry.
First, as far as I know, Odysseus had not directly offended Apollo in the Trojan War or during his journey home. Apollo won't just harm anyone, he'd only take retribution against those who disrespected him greatly.
Second, the City of Troy had always been destined to fall so if it wasn't for Odysseus' wooden horse, someone else would have caused its demise. Apollo can't fault Odysseus for being part of the city's inevitable destiny.
Third, Apollo should be mad at Odysseus for killing an infant because he's the protector of the young, right? Well, in The Horse and The Infant, it was Zeus who told Odysseus that Astyanax was prophesied to take revenge on the Greek kings when he grew up, and he had to kill the infant to prevent that. Apollo is not one to go against his father's decree, so he wouldn't be mad at Odysseus for following suit.
(And if you look from a mythological standpoint, if Astyanax actually grew up to cause destruction to the Trojan War survivors, imagine how many sons and daughters of the Greek kings would suffer because the prophesied one was spared.)
Finally, why was he not mad with the cow thing??? Simple!
The cows were not even Apollo's, but Helios'. Apollo already gave his cows to Hermes in exchange for the lyre. So when Odysseus' crew killed the cows, they offended Helios, not Apollo. Of course, you could say Apollo should be mad on Helios' behalf, but that'll take us to point 2...
The crew killed the cows while Odysseus begged them to not. Odysseus didn't commit the crime or enable it, so he was in the clear. And lastly...
Odysseus' crew were already punished by death and Odysseus was left drifting in the sea and stuck on Calypso's island for seven years to the point of driven insane, so whatever "association" he could possibly have with the violation of the cows should be paid enough.
All that aside, Apollo has little to no beef with Odysseus and only makes up a flimsy "reason" to be mad out of obligation. He didn't care about bringing justice to Athena's favorite mortal, he probably only wanted to have fun in the family drama because hey, how often do you get to see your oldest sister asking for a favor from your King-god father?

in my dreams, you love me back / don't wake me up, deceive me sweetly
various hsr (dan heng, aventurine, sunday, jing yuan) characters as isekai romance tropes.
dan heng in: helping that useless prince!
the exiled prince! he ends up settling in a modest (for him - raised with a silver spoon in his mouth and all) cottage. he finds usual peasant housework and chores difficult to deal with, so he employs you to help him around the house. you wake up already months into the job, and he finds it extremely weird how his usually quiet housekeeper is suddenly all chipper and nosy into his work and daily life (i mean, he employed you in the first place because he were anything but that). he doesn't find the change bothersome though, and catches himself starting to look forward to your sudden barging into his room in the middle of the day with his tea balanced precariously in your hands, bringing a new type of entertainment into his less than exciting life.
aventurine in: stopping us from going broke!
you've reincarnated into the body of the wife of the gambler noble: aventurine. originally just a side character who gets all his money taken away from him by the male lead in service of the plot, you work to stop that aaaaaall from happening - mostly to save yourself. your current life is cushy and you would love to keep it that way! along the way, you've gotten to interact more with your husband, who usually keeps out of your way and only speaks in condescending tones. eventually, you find out that nothing is as it seems, and you discover more and more of your husband's past, and you slowly find yourself finally falling in love with each other, slowly, slowly.
sunday in: wait, is this story about us?
sunday is the tragic villain of the story - obsessed with keeping the status quo, his plans keep getting thwarted by a pesky pest - YOU. after all, he is your favourite character, and you would rather not see him go down the path that leads to certain death. you keep taking random tools that will help him, and his informants keeps mysteriously disappearing under unknown circumstances. his messages sent by bird never seem to reach their destination and his henchmen are always tripping over misplaced equipment and the main leads never seem to be where he needs them to be. he eventually pins the blame on you, and turns his gaze and focus on getting you to his side before continuing on with his plans. after all, anyone who can thwart his plans and keep up with him like this deserves to be rewarded and kept by his side, not killed.
jing yuan in: saving the general
he's the general who strikes fear into his enemies. he's the teacher whose students barely make it out alive every class. he's your sleepy boss who makes you do everything. yes, the feared and mighty general in private is utterly dependent on you in his private and daily life. as an avid reader of the original novel, where jingyuan is killed so that his mentee - the protagonist, goes off on his hero's journey in revenge, you never knew that being his assistant would be such a hassle. but the protagonist is currently a child, and he runs around your feet - so much so that you are starting to question whether the him whose challenging you to a duel right now with a wooden sword when he's only half your size is the same character as the one you read on the pages of the book. either way, you should be responsible and raise him well, while also hopefully saving him from the heartache that is losing his father figure in a few years. after all, you've gotten yourself in his good graces, and you kind of have a soft spot for him as well, not that you'll ever admit it.

AU Asami is Amon by nikoniko_808
Give me the forbidden enemies to lovers Korrasami
Okay I wrote up my own au of Asami as Amon
Hiroshi and Asami witnessed the death of Asamiâs mother at the hands of the Red Lotus society. Asami swore revenge on all benders. The corruption of Benders has gone too far and Asami and her father cannot let it continue. So they create a movement. The Equalists. Near the end of season 1. Asami would be nowhere to be seen. The Krew believes the Equalists have kidnapped Asami and when Korra confronts Amon, they donât see her.
Tarrlok is still captured by Amon, when Korra sees him and they chat, he tells the whole story of Amon as it happened in the show to her and everything. Like it goes in the show. Korra and friends go to confront Amon at the arena where Tenzin and his family are about to lose their bending. But they donât because she gets there in time. She accuses Amon of being a bender, as per Tarrlokâs story. Amon doesnât unmask. And he isnât a bender. Tarrlok lied to get Korra to confront Amon so that he could capture her and he could hopefully save his own skin for the service at least. They fight. Amon takes Korraâs bending in a big demonstrative way. So all the crowd can see what comes to any benders, especially The Avatar who stand against him. Then the reveal happens. Asami is Amon.
In order to get her bending back and learn how to give others their bending back (yeah, Korra wouldnât get it back at the end of Book 1 because consequences? Whatâre those?), Korra has to go on a quest to learn her bending(her masters would be Toph, Katara, Izumi and Tenzin) in the Spirit World to understand everything. Korra does not cry about loosing her bending because she realized sheâs still The Avatar and has to go to The Spirit World to get her bending back, to help everyone get their bending back and stop Asami
Throughout the series, we would meet Kya, Bumi, Izumi, Eska, Desna(Eska and Desna would be Korraâs siblings in this universe, because fuck Unaloq) Opal and Kai. We have the same romance between Bolin and Opal and Jinora and Kai. We would also meet Varrick and Zhu Li, because they are comedy gold. They would all help in the fight against Amon and the Equalists.
In Korraâs venture to the Spirit World,
she would still see Wanâs story(because thatâs the only thing I liked about Book 2) and I think in her journey in the spirit world she would see Asamiâs story, in which her family were victims of the Red Lotus society and Asami learned to take bending away in the spirit world. Not only that, we would find out that Asami would be bonded with Vaatu. Asami is the darker Avatar.
Before she leaves The Spirit World she connects with all her past lives to ask what she should do about Asami. Korra has her Aang moment where she has too has to decide what to do like he did with the fire lord, only this time thereâs more to it than just stopping the bad guy. Itâs about the person she loved. She can restore everyoneâs bending by reversing Amonâs convergence, but she canât do that so long as the avatar spirit is split. And as long as Asami is part avatar, she can go into the avatar state. Thatâs still pretty damn dangerous even with only water and blood bending. Korra realizes the only thing she can do to stop Asami? Love her.
After her journey to relearn her bending and journey in the spirit world, Korra travels the world to gain allies. From the Fire Nation, Earth Kingdom, Water Tribes and Air Nomads. Korra unites the world against Amon and the Equalists.
In the final fight, Korra defeats Amon. She exorcises Vaatu from Asami, thus ending the dark Avatar and stopping Amonâs convergence. She reverses what Asami has done and uses it to restore everyoneâs bending. So she has to come to the hard part. Amon makes it clear, no matter what, even without the ability to energy bend or without Vaatu, Amon will never stop, Benders will never be safe. Korra shows Asami what she was denied. Korra loves her and forgives her. Asami gives up and accepts whatever punishment.
During Book 3, Asami would work with Korra in stopping and killing the Red Lotus society. However, when Zaheer is stopped. He is left at the mercy of Asami and for everything heâs done and turned her into. Asami kills him.
Book 4 happens. Asamiâs redemption is rebuilding Republic City and using Future Industries to repair the damage sheâs done as Amon. Blah blah blah Korra stops Kuvira blah blah. Asami earns her redemption and the love of Republic City, the krew and more importantly Korra. Ends with Korra and Asami venturing in the Spirit World and ends with a kiss.

When your best-friend Steve Harrington asks you to hold his fleshlight for him.
It wasnât really something that either of you planned on happening. But then it just did. Steve had been pent up from work all day from typical annoying patrons, smart mouthed jocks from the high school, that were freshmen when he was a senior (tenfold karma, Harrington), and Keithâs particular way of criticizing his every move out of some form of nerdy revenge. You could count on one hand the times that Steve had to bail out of your two person movie nights on Fridays (Saturdays were for dates and Sundays were for hanging with the rest of the parties and running kids around), and tonight happened to be one of those occurrences. Usually, it would be for self-care or whatever reason he needed to spend alone, but when heâd barely shed his leather jacket upon entering his house, dusting snow off of his boots â he was about to crawl out of his skin by the time his massive palm was wrapped around the receiver, thumb strangled by its cord.
He was⌠off? And seconds after heâd cancelled without much reason, the line went dead. You wanted to give him space, especially because he usually called back to tell you goodnight. But after being unable to sit still and finish a generous portion of the large pepperoni pizza youâd ordered the two of you, you were grabbing your keys for the journey over to his place.
~*~
It didnât take but five minutes before you reached Steveâs house, pulling in behind his familiar car. You dangle the copy - made spare from your pointer finger, trekking your way up to the door and letting yourself in, wiping at your wind-whipped, wet eyes. You know heâs not on the first floor, its entirety dark and a little cool. So you toss your coat and keys onto the small table beside the entryway, kicking off your boots to join his on the cheesy welcome mat, and you make your way to the second floor landing to his bedroom. Seeing a buttery glow spill out from the crack in his doorway, youâd proceeded, only to be met with a sight that only appeared in your late night fantasies⌠and pretty much your every waking thought.
Steve is facing his mattress, sheets tousled and clothing pooled beside him, stood on the left side of his bed, naked and glistening in the perspiration of teasing, observing his massive length as he edges himself, moving the toy slowly over his cock. You know what it is, youâve seen it in magazines and stores, in some porn. A fleshlight, they call it. Your brain goes through a million thoughts at a couple seconds to spare.
Why doesnât he have someone here to do this with? He can get a date?
Is he okay? Obviously heâs very okay.
Holy fuck⌠heâs big.
Holy fuck⌠heâs beautiful.
A little more than usual, waiting on the summer sun to tan his freckle and mole spattered skin. His hair has grown longer, curling at the nape, his shoulder blades and biceps defined from a regular regime. And that ass, the way it flexes and is perfectly plump, connecting to those hairy thighs and big feet, his own toes curling when he twists, a wet squelch coming from the faux cunt. Thereâs beautiful chestnut curls scattered across him sternum and connecting to a trail that surrounds his base and those full, heavy, balls. That cock⌠thick, barely able to be pushed back into the toy, his fingers having to peel back its soft pink layers to help ease the slick way, decorated in a vein that matches the one running along his forearm
And you must make some sort of noise, because your lips part to let in a gasp of air, causing his body to twist in a sudden defensive stance, clenching the toy so tight with a âcaughtâ pose. You go to move and the door spills open completely, slamming back into his dresser and shaking old sports trophies. Youâre panting, seeking out the words to apologize, Steve is wincing from how hard he still is, attempting to cover his modesty. But the air shifts in the room and you gain a boldness, a restlessness that wonât be satiated, nor a conscience satisfied if you donât ask.
âCan I help you?â A customer service line from working at Scoops with him. But it comes naturally.
Steve, biting his lip, disheveled â he nods. And itâs happening. A tickling ease, a line crossed.
âCâmhere.â Heâs waving with his opposite hand. His ribcage expands as he gulps in lungfuls of air.
Youâre at his side shortly, shyly. âW-what do you need me to do?â
His spare hand pushes back through his hair, amber gaze gone to a midnight sky, teeth milky white, defined jawline covered in stubble, and a perfect nose. His voice is raspy when he lets you know what he needs.
âGo get on my bed, lay back for me. Please?â
A fucking gentleman.
All of your clothes feel too tight, smothering you as you lay back on his bed, his pillow immediately invading you. Your hands are unsure of where to go, but he approaches slowly, kneeling his way into kneeling by your feet. âIâm gonna⌠Can I use this between your legs, honey? You donât have to do anything, just let me do all the work.â He motions to the toy and you want nothing more, suddenly offered the world.
Itâs your turn to say it now. âCâmhere.â
Heâs using that enriched tendon covered forearm to prop himself up beside of your head, slotting right between your knees, his remaining hand wrapped so tightly around the toy that his skin is pulled taunt over his knuckles. He sinks his teeth into his lower lip, releases it, licks it, and then heâs asking, âCan I?â
âGo. Do what you need to do. Iâm right here, Steve.â
If you thought the toy was loud before, the sound of him working his lengthy girth through its walls right in front of you now â itâs surround sound. Youâre watching, unable to help it, bones threaten to be dusted to ash from how hard your heart is ramming beneath your breastbone.
âWanted to come over, but itâs been a shit week, an even shitter day. And I just needed to ââ
ââ Release some tension, right? I get it, I do it too. I have a cock that goes⌠I ââ you stop your horny rambling, face feeling too much warmed.
Steveâs face scrunches, teeth gritting, and he twists the toy until slowing it almost completely. âTell me what you do. You fuck yourself with it, right? When everything is too much and not enough? Fuck, honey.â
He doesnât verbalize, but you donât either, simply accept the toy and hold it against your denim covered cunt, leaving Steveâs hands free to hold on either side of you, his nose nudging yours as he leans down â here, present. You copy his earlier motions, using the toy to glide along his length as he thrusts into it with a new focussed vigor. âThatâs it. You feel so good, honey. Workinâ me so right.â
âIâm soaking â fucking â wet for you, Steve. Just so you know.â
His hips stutter and his nose finds its way into your eyelashes, cheek pressing into your own. âFuck, youâre gonna make me cum into this thing, and I want ââ
ââ You want what, Steve?â You hold your breath.
He answers without fear or pause. âYou.â

Read II
England Lionesses x Child!Reader
Mary Earps x Child!Reader
Summary: There's a reason you don't have sugar
You hold reading lessons every day at camp because you want the rest of the England team to not be knuckleheads anymore and to prove Mikey from school wrong.
It's not easy to learn how to read so you know you need to come back to make sure everyone has been keeping up with their learning because that's what Mummy and Daddy do to you.
They started teaching you how to read very early so you were fairly advanced when you went to school.
You think Mikey's just jealous because you're a good reader and he's a bad one but, still, you want to make sure to prove him wrong.
Mary always says the best revenge is proving haters wrong. You don't know if Mikey's a hater but you'll assume he is because better safe than sorry.
You've done a good job at teaching everyone though because Maya, Millie T and Tooney all give you some sherbet sweets. They make your mouth go a little tingly when you try them but you like that feeling so the three of them keep feeding you more.
They're responsible for you while Mary's getting the last bit of treatment before you all get on the coach to go to the stadium. Usually, someone else is responsible for you but you did a quick reading lesson for Maya and Millie with Tooney as your assistant so they're supervising you before the journey.
You decide that you really like the sherbet straws they give you and Maya dares you to see how many you can finish before you have to go.
You don't count but it's definitely a lot.
Enough for you to feel super hyped when you're finally reunited with Mary. She's picked out a set of four seats with a table and she's already got your rucksack full of books open for you to pick from.
You're very advanced in your reading for such a young kid but even you struggle a little bit. Now that you've taught Mary to read, she can read very well from the books that are a bit too complicated for you right now so she's in charge of reading them to you as you drive to the pitch.
"Er..." You say as you look at the selection," That one."
"Alright," Mary says, cracking open the book and clearing her throat. She gets about halfway through before she notices how wiggly you're being. "Hey, rugrat, do you need the toilet?"
You frown. "No. Keep reading, Mary."
"Are you sure? I can take you."
"No, Mary. My book, please."
"Alright." Mary keeps reading but she's acutely aware of the way you keep wiggling in your seat.
You seem to think you're fine though. Or, at least, you don't think you need the toilet which is Mary's main worry.
"Okay," She says finally," Go and find someone to hang out with. I need to talk to Tooney."
You seem all too happy to scamper off, practically throwing yourself at Beth across the aisle.
"Tooney!" Mary snaps, interrupting the conversation she and Alessia are having.
"Jesus, Mary! You scared me there!"
"What did you give my sister?" Mary demands," She's never been like this before."
"Like what?"
"Like that!"
Mary points over to where you've decided it's a funny idea to crowd surf over the girls at the front, who are bouncing you a bit as they pass you off to the girls sitting behind them.
"She doesn't do that! She's also not wiggly on the bus! What did you give her?"
Tooney winces. "I gave her nothing!"
Mary narrows her eyes. "What did you let Millie and Maya give her?"
Tooney's eyes dart to them quickly before she clears her throat. "I've got the right to remain silent! Anything I say or do can be used against me in a court of-"
Mary's already moved off before Tooney can finish and she crosses the coach to confront the other two. "I'm not interested in excuses. Tell me what you've given my sister."
Her gaze is clearly intimidating because Maya and Millie fold instantly and Mary's on her way back to her seat, easily plucking you from someone's arms to set you back down next to her.
It seems most of the sugar rush has disappeared now but then another problem makes itself known.
The bus goes over a series of bumps and you make a little aborted movement forward.
Mary recognises the action and whips out a plastic bag. "Here, rugrat," She says," Let it out. Let it all out."
She rubs your back as you throw up. It takes a lot longer than usual to hurl up your guts and Mary narrows her eyes over the top of her seat to look at Millie and Maya.
This is all their fault, Mary knows it.
It's because of all of the sugar you've consumed that you've thrown up so bad and, as she ties the bag shut, Mary briefly contemplates throwing it at Millie and Maya.
"Juice, please," You say and Mary hands it to you," Sorry, Mary."
"It's okay," She says," It's not your fault. Do you want to continue your book?"
You nod, leaning against your sister, energy drained. "Yes, please."

Plenty of people talk about how Logan would react to Vanessa (mainly how he'd become jealous and insecure over her relationship with Wade), but have you ever considered how Vanessa would react to poolverine?
To seeing her ex-boyfriendâthe man she'd given her entire future to, expecting for them to get marriedâmove on?
Don't get me wrong, Vanessa "moved on" too, but it wasn't the same. She started dating one of her coworkers casually, trying to create a "normal" life for herself, but you can tell her heart wasn't in it. That she liked him, maybe, but didn't love him with the same ferocity she loved Wade with.
She had been prepared to start a family with Wade. To have children together, to marry him and love him despite all his flaws and his gruesome appearance.
And yet... he started slipping away. He said he wanted her back, that he'd give up the world to save her, but what about now? When she was saved? When she was back alive, back home.
He was capable of fearing for her life, of revenge, of embarking on journeys across the seven seas to get her back. But was he capable of keeping her? Of living a quiet life with her and being content?
You can't say that Vanessa didn't try. That she didn't love Wade enough, because she did. You can see her desperation at the table, trying and failing to get through to Wade. You can almost feel the resignation as she realizes this man wasn't the one who fell in love with her.
Because, despite her support and company, Wade still felt empty. Like he had a higher purpose he hadn't achieved. He felt the itch under his skin, the ache in his chest, gnawing and raw and eating him alive. He cared, of course he did, but it wasn't enough.
And Vanessa knew this. She didn't break up with him because she was disappointed in his lack of achievementâshe'd support Wade no matter what his goal was. She broke up because she realized that she wasn't enough anymore.
She might've been enough, once, before scars marred his skin and unspeakable trauma was hidden behind his eyes. Before Francis tortured and killed the man he once was, leaving behind a pile of ashes that had to build itself up from scratch into a person again.
But she couldn't understand him like she once could. Couldn't relate to his trauma when it ran through his veins. Couldn't hear the screams echoing in his ears. Couldn't silence the disgusted voices in his head when he looked at his mangled face in the mirror.
She tried to accept him, tried so hard to reach him, but she couldn't fully understand him. She couldn't. And so she let him go.
But you can't let go of a decade of your life that easily. Of course, she missed Wade. She missed him and loved him and a part of her was still waiting for him to come back and kiss her and mean it.
But then he brings Logan home.
And Logan is everything she's not. He's rough where she is smooth. Masculine where she is feminine. Mean where she is nice.
But, above all else, he understands Wade in a way she couldn't.
Understands the itch for blood. The haunting voices ringing in his head. The constant feeling of wrongness, like his body was a tool or a weapon but never quite his anymore. The pain. The suffering. The trauma. The loneliness.
And it hurts.
To see Logan do what she couldn't. To see Logan live the life she'd once dreamed of, loved and matched by Wade in all of the ways that matter.
It makes her question what she'd been doing wrong, if she could've done anything differently to finally get through to Wade. Because this was evidence that it was possible. That someone could force Wade to confront himself and make Wade content. (It's proof that she wasn't enough. That her efforts meant nothing because it was her who was the problem.)
But she smiled at Logan and Wade, together. Gave Wade her best wishes, her congratulations. She was honestly happy for him. She wanted Wade to be happy, even if it wasn't with her. She knew he deserved to feel loved and cared for and understood.
But still, a small, bitter part of her feels irrationally angry. At Logan. At Wade. At the universe.
Wade got his soulmate, his other half. He finally met someone who matched his crazy and meant it. He was radiant with joy, bouncing with an energy Vanessa hadn't seen since before his diagnosis.
And her relationship was going well. It was fine. Dermott was nice and handsome and polite.
But that was it. He took her to romantic dinners while Wade took her to arcades. He gave her flowers for her anniversary while Wade gave her the ski ball token he'd saved on their first date.
It was good. But it wasn't passionate. There wasn't the same chemistryâthe same connection. Dermott asked her about her favorite color and all Vanessa could think of was Wade and her pouring over names for their future children.
But he was gone.
He was Logan's now.
Logan, who's traumatized and grieving and fucked up and an alcoholic. A broken man. (Was Vanessa really any better, at this point? A shiny new job and relationship don't cover her flaws. The emptiness.)
(At least now she understands, even fractionally, what Wade was going through. It's a bitter, sobering thought.)
He was Logan's, not Vanessa's.
Was he really ever hers to begin with?
