#where have we seen this before oh wait cole

[coffee-master]

[Warning contains Lavashipping]

Cole goes into the kitchen: Zane what do we have for-? *sees Kai*

Cole confused: Where's Zane?

Kai: Oh, he went out with Pixal, so I'm cooking today.

Cole even more confused: You can cook?

Kai: I had to rise me and Nya on my own. It'd be weird, if I couldn't.

Cole: Huh, I guess I've never seen you cook before.

Kai: Because Zane is better at this and I'm lazy. *goes to the oven and takes out the cake*

Cole shocked: Wait you can bake too?!?

Kai only smirks at Cole confidently: Yeah *places the cake on the table*

Cole leans over him to look at the cake: If I knew earlier, I'd start dating you way faster- IS THAT A CHOCOLATE BROWNIE-?!

Kai laughs: Is food the only thing on your-?

Cole totally serious: Marry me.

Kai VERY shocked: ...Bro chill out- it's just a cake-

EWAN MITCHELL INTERVIEWED BY DECIDER MAGAZINE.

SO KNOWING HOW HE'S SO STUDIOUS AND THOUGHTFUL, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE CHANCES ARE, IF HE STILL HAS THE DANGER, HE CAN FIGURE OUT THERE'S A HIDDEN MESSAGE THERE?

"Yeah, I think I could imagine that."

"I could imagine Aemond reading a book by the fire and he just puts it over the fireplace and then he’s privy to the information of Aegon’s dream."

"But I can’t confirm nor deny it."

ALICENT MENTIONS TO RHAENYRA IN THE FINALE THAT AEMOND PLANS TO FLY TO HARRENHAL. DAEMON HAS HAD QUITE THE SEASON THERE, BEING AFFECTED BY THE MAGIC THERE. DO YOU HAVE A SENSE OF HOW THAT MAGIC COULD AFFECT AEMOND?

"I think that’s a good question."

"I think if he was to go to Harrenhal, I think, I don’t know."

"It’s similar to what we were saying with Helaena."

"Like, if there was some sort of way that he would be able to harness that power and to use it to his advantage, he could be quite dangerous."

SO, ARE YOU EXCITED TO SORT OF DELVE INTO WHAT COULD POTENTIALLY MOTIVATE AEMONE TO OPEN UP TO SOMEONE? WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD MAKE HIM SO VULNERABLE?

"I think just finding all of that multifaceted nuance in Aemond, and really exploring that shadow side even more…"

"You know, just constantly keeping the audience on their toes and presenting an angle of Aemond that we hadn’t really seen before."

"He always kind of looked for surrogates for his mother."

"He found it in Vhagar, so to speak."

"An old she-dragon parallel."

"And he found it in the madame."

"But is that enough? So he’s always looking for his match, so to speak."

"Whether or not he finds it is another thing."

"Maybe there’s no one good enough for Aemond."

"Maybe he’s not good enough for anyone either."

HE'S SO RUTHLESS IN TERMS OF THE WAY HE WANTS TO APPROACH THE BATTLES AHEAD. IS HIS MINDSET FOR HIS OWN GLORY AND POWER, OR IS HE ACTUALLY JUST TRYING TO SAVE HIS FAMILY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND SECURE TEAM GREEN'S CLAIM?

"I think it’s interesting."

I think when he approaches Alicent and Helaena in Episode 8, he kind of says, 'Like, look, it’s either them or us and I’m choosing. It’s gonna be them.'

"We can’t go down without a fight."

"Because if the Blacks were to come into power, it would be the Greens heads who would be on the chopping block."

"And Aemond especially."

"So it is a fight for self preservation."

"But whether or not he has his family’s interests at heart or whether or not he’s just thinking for himself?"

"I want to leave that out there."

"I want to let people make their own judgment on that."

"I think he definitely loves his mum and he wants his mum at the end."

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SCENES IS THE ONE WHERE YOU BASICALLY DRESS DOWN AEGON IN HIGH VALYRIAN. WHAT WAS IT LIKE PREPARING FOR THAT? WAS IT AS DELICIOUS TO DO AS IT LOOKED OR WAS IT JUST ANOTHER EXTRA CHALLENGE THAT YOU JUST DID NOT WANT TO FACE IN TERMS OF MASTERING A FOREIGN LENGUAJE?

"I mean I remember doing it a few different ways, but I always kind of settled on the idea that Aemond, throughout those first four episodes, he’s just so composed."

"We see other players around the council table and they raise their voices, and Aemond is the kid who’s just acting from the peripheries."

"He’s waiting for his moment."

"He never raises his voice too much."

So in that moment, when he very much seizes a chance to attack Rook’s Rest and work with Criston Cole, he very much says, 'I’m taking over now.'

"It is a public humiliation, but he does it in such a way that Aegon is able to save face because only him and Aegon can understand it (and maybe Grand Maester Orwyle can, as well)."

"It’s something quite merciful in a way.

BEFORE THE SEASON STARTED, I TALKED TO YOU ABOUT HOW YOU STAYED AWAY FROM MATT SMITH ON SET IN SEASON 1 SO THAT WHEN THEY STARE EACH OTHER DOWN DURING DINNER, IT WOULD BE MORE IMPACTFUL. SO I'M CURIOUS, HAVE YOU MET GAYLE RANKIN YET?

"I – I have not."

OH, OKAY. IS THAT INTENTIONAL OR?

"I mean, I’ve obviously seen Gayle Rankin’s phenomenal performance in the show, but also like the Harrenhal set itself is in a different studio to the studio of the Red Keep."

"So I never really brushed shoulders with Gayle Rankin or Matt Smith this season, other than that moment when Daemon sees the vision of Aemond in Harrenal."

"I think — I think I briefly [met Gayle] at the read through."

"Briefly."

OK, COOL. I WAS JUST CURIOUS, BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE ALYS AND AEMOND MEET BECAUSE THAT IS A RELATIONSHIP I HAVE SO MUCH CURIOSITY ABOUT.

"No comment."

NOW THAT WE DONT TALK

summary: yn makes it to michigan with her friend sabrina, shockingly, reconnecting with old friends and also bumping into bad memories.

series masterlist

you felt weird, the stares of others pouring heavily onto your body. you didn’t like it, the feeling, whatsoever. the crowd parted as you walked into the house. the memories from this house flooded through your mind, from running to your room away from jack, to even skinny dipping with him in the lake.

you watched cole leap up and made his way to you, leaving a very uncomfortable jack and trevor behind. "bells! you made it" he grinned.

the shorter boy threw his arms around you in happiness. "hey coley, i told you i'd be here" you smiled, hugging him back.

"i know but it's just, unreal! i haven't seen you in forever!" he smiled.

you frowned. "im sorry cole, ive been really busy in toronto and it doesn't help that i feel so out of place in michigan now.." you trailed off.

"dont sweat it, bells. im just glad you're here" he smiled at you. "how long are you staying here for?" he asked.

"well— sab leaves tomorrow, im staying to get my dorm situated back at umich" you told. cole nodded.

"get lunch with me tomorrow then? i want to catch up" you just nodded before hearing your name get called. looking behind you, you see some of jack's teammates.

jack's teammates, john marino and nico hischier always liked you. hell, you still talked to them to ask how games went and just how they were.

"ill talk to you later coley" you grinned.

cole nodded and went back to trevor and jack. trevor held a sour look on his face while jack looked pissed. you grabbed sab’s arm and brought her with you to john and nico.

"hi johnny, hi nico" you smiled at them, giving them each hugs once you got to them. "its been awhile." you added.

"seriously, a long time. have you been in toronto the entire time?" john asked.

you nodded. "yeah, i moved in with my brother. im with him for just two more weeks until i move into my new apartment." you smiled.

"really? where you moving to?" nico asked.

"new york, actually." you grinned. "maybe ill drive over to nj and pop in."

nico grinned, "i'd be careful with that one, y/n. i cant lie, jacks been in a little bit of a twist since your song came out." he spoke.

john nodded. "more standoff-ish, but he had it coming.”

you heard sab snort from behind you, causing you to grin along. "sorry its just— one of my songs ends with ‘he had it coming’ and it reminded me of that.” sabrina spoke.

"its okay— how have you both been?” nico asked. you looked at sabrina with a hesitation glint in your eyes. she just sent you a nod.

“ive been— okay? uhm, just a lot going on currently. very stressed i dont know— i just cant wait to get back to umich.” you explained.

“and i have to go back to LA tomorrow so i have to soak my time up with my girl.” sabrina grinned, tossing an arm around your neck.

"uh oh— warning, trevor is on his way over.” john said, bringing his cup to his mouth to quiet his words before taking a sip of whatever alcoholic drink he had.

you tensed up slightly, not turning your head, you kept close to sabrina.

"what up guys, how you enjoying the party? cole's wondering." trevor faked a smile.

"oh, very fun if i do say so myself." sabrina sarcastically spoke.

you nudged her slightly, elbowing her in the side. she sent you a glare, basically stating ‘cut the shit.’

trevor sarcastically smiled. "well isn't that just peachy? anyone here finding someone to go home with tonight? i know it shouldn't be too hard for some of you."

you grab nico's drink, sipping it yourself. "maybe— i heard that dixie girl is single, might ask her to go home with me.” you shrugged.

the four guys went completely silent. you coughed, "anyone up for another drink? i think i need to get drunk tonight." and you walked away.

“oh my god” sabrina laughed, immediately going after you.

“fucking bitch”

trevor scoffed, walking away in anger. john and nico looked at each other, wide eyes. "holy shit."

[averillaratargaryen]

“A Better Man.”

Chapter I

In the early morning at Dragonstone, the ancient fortress seems to breathe in the silence, its jagged black stone walls looming over the fog-covered sea.

The air is cool, as the sky is painted with soft hues of gray and lavender, the sun yet to rise fully.

“Lara” Averillara’s mother spoke her name softly, as she gave her a gentle nudge.

Averillara found herself groaning, almost swatting her mother’s arm away as she turns her head, wishing to get more sleep.

“Lara, you must get up” Rhaenyra spoke, to her daughter.

Forcefully, Averillara managed to open her eyes, a loud sigh escaping her.

“What is it?” She asks, her voice croaky.

“Get dressed and come down” Rhaenyra responds, “i have some news for you and your brothers.”

“This could not wait for another couple of hours?” Averillara asks.

“It can not” her mother chuckled, before pulling the sheets off her daughter, “now up you get. Your brothers are downstairs, waiting for you.”

“Ugh” she groans, knowing that she now will surely have to get up before her brothers get impatient.

As Averillara is making her way down, dressed and groomed, she finds Daemon stood at the bottom of the staircase.

“What is going on so early this morning?” Averillara asks, stomping down.

Daemon smiles, the sight of his step daughter being grumpy. It reminded him just of himself.

“We are leaving” he tells her, as she gets to the bottom of the staircase.

“Leaving? Leaving where?” Averillara asks.

“We must return to the Kings Landing” Rhaenyra explains, “now before you say no-!”

“No” Averillara cuts her off.

“Sister, be patient” Jace tells her.

Rhaenyra looks to Jace, giving him a thankful smile, before looking back at Rhaenyra, “your Grandsire is sick.”

Averillara’s gaze softens as she hears the news and reasoning of why they must go back for some time.

“I do not like it, as much as you do. With how everything now is, but he is is still your Grandsire. He cares for all of you, just as he did with me, and it would be a shame not to stay by his side during this time.”

“I understand mother” Averillara nods, “but you must remember the reason we left, do you not?”

“Of course i do” Rhaenyra looks at her children sympathetically, “but it has been many years, and times have changed. Your Grandsire is still king, and will no doubt take your side. I know he will.”

“Should they throw any insults in my presence, it will not be easy for them” Daemon makes a snark comment.

“Daemon” Rhaenyra looked at him unbelievably.

Luke smiles, as he takes his mother’s hand, “i will come, mother. I know this is important to you and i miss our Grandsire. Im sure you miss him greatfully too.”

“Oh very well, what choice do i have?” Averillara raises her hands in question, before she walks forward taking her mother by her other hand.

The two hug their mother, before Rhaenyra calls to Jace, bringing him forward, as she held onto him.

Daemon watched from a distance, a smile forming against his lips.

They were not his children, biologically. But he loved them as they were, and would do anything to keep them protected.

“As long as we have each other, we should be okay” Rhaenyra tells her kids as she continues to hold onto them.

~

Within the King’s Landing, everyone was seen to be awake, their eyes caught in many things to do.

“You are aware your daughter, Averillara will be here today?” Alicent spoke, as she was faced in front of her dressing table mirror, adjusting her dress.

Ser Criston Cole, was stood behind her, having put his armour back into tact, “and what use is she to me?”

“She is still your daughter, Cole” Alicent reminds him.

“She sided with that bitch of a Princess, she is no daughter of mine” Criston Cole responds.

Alicent sighs, turning around to face him, “whatever happens tonight, do not let your pride and ego get the best of you. Your King, he will.. it will cause problems. He is already sick as it is and I do not wish to cause him any further stress.”

“I will do whatever you wish me do, your Grace” he smirks.

“And wipe that smug smile off your face” Alicent walks to him, “this? It can never happen again.”

The two look at one another, giving one last glance, before Alicent walks out, Criston Cole then following not shortly after.

As they walk through the corridors of the palace, Alicent finds herself greeted with her drunk son, who was being dragged across by his brother, Aemond, to his bed chamber.

“Again, Aegon?” Alicent walks towards him, “do you not think? Of us? Of your family? What of your dear sister?”

“Oh to hell with it all” Aegon groans, “just get me to my bed Aemond.”

Aemond gives his mother a look, indicating for her not to worry, as he continues to drag his brother, past Alicent and Ser Criston Cole.

Alicent follows them with her eyes, as they walk past, before looking at Ser Criston Cole.

“I do not understand what i did wrong” Alicent throws her hands up in defence, confused as to how she managed to end up with a drunken son, like Aegon.

It was not the first time she had seen him like this, nor would it be the last.

Aegon was known, around brothel’s, despite his high status. He were the reason, Alicent and the King himself continued to have a bad reputation towards the people.

No one would dare to say a word, not in their presence. But it was known with their looks and whispers, of what exactly it was that everyone was thinking.

~

Averillara and her siblings arrived not long after, having travelled by their dragons.

Not soon after, the family found themselves back, as they stood outside the palace, staring against the palace gates.

“What are we waiting for?” Daemon asks, looking at the rest of the family confused.

“Well I thought we were to get a proper greeting, but i guess Alicent still holds a grudge” Rhaenyra whispers back.

“Perhaps my father is busy with his cock out again. He impregnated a princess, why not a Queen?” Averillara whispers.

“Lara” Rhaenyra whispers, her eyes glaring at her.

“I speak the truth” Averillara shrugs.

Daemon chuckles, before looking down when he feels his wife’s eyes lay on him, in a form of wishing he would shut up.

Which is exactly what he did.

“Princess Rhaenyra” Ser Harrold Westerling had made his way down, to greet his princess, and her family.

“Ser Harrold. It has been some time” Rhaenyra responds.

“It has been, and much has changed” Ser Harrold responds, “I’m sorry for the lack of respect with everyone here today.”

“I am sure everyone is just busy” Rhaenyra shrugs.

“Let us get you inside and in to your bed chambers” Ser Harrold leads the way, as the family follow behind him.

As they reach their bed chambers, Rhaenyra looks to her three kids. Averillara, Jace and Luke.

“Make yourself welcome here. This place is yours, just as much as it is everyone else’s. Ser Harrold will be here with you” Rhaenyra looks up at him for confirmation, earning a nod from Ser Harrold as a response.

“I thought we were to see Grandsire?” Luke asks.

“You will. But me and Daemon must speak to him first, privately. I will be taking Aegon and Viserys along with me” She informs them.

Aegon III was Rhaenyra’s first son with Daemon, when Viserys II followed after.

Shortly after, Rhaenyra had left her children, in the trusting care of Ser Harrold.

Both Jace and Luke were seen to be quite exhausted from such a trip, having them ready to stay in their bed chambers throughout the afternoon to rest.

Averillara, however, had gotten hungry after her travel.

And she was no stranger to the trees that grew within her Grandsire’s garden, one which grew out apples, and another which grew out pomegranates.

As Averillara was helping herself, she came across her Aunt Helaena.

“Helaena? Is that you?” Averillara called out.

She was sat quietly, to herself, her delicate fingers tracing patterns in the dirt as she watched a small collection of insects scurry before her.

As she heard Averillara’s voice, she looks up confused, to then find her niece stood behind her.

“Hello there” Helaena spoke, “I did not know you would be here.”

She gave it a quick thought, when she carefully dropped the insects out her hand, letting them disperse into the grass beneath her, before she stood up, casually dusting her dress off with her dirty hands.

Averillara took a liking to Helaena. Her innocence, and just the fact of how she treated Averillara and her brothers, it was kind.

And she felt it be a big shame that she’d come from the Hightower blood line.

Helaena took her hand out to greet her, to which then Averillara chuckled and took her hand.

“I suppose you are here to see your Grandsire?” Helaena asks.

“I am. But my mother wishes to meet him along as of now. So I must wait” Averillara then looks up to the tree she was stood under, “I thought to help myself to some fruit. It has been an awful journey.”

“Why not come with me? We could have a proper meal instead?” Helaena asks.

“Oh no bother” Averilla was quick to deny, “just something small will do. Besides, I do not want to cause such a hassle to your staff.”

“Helaena” they heard a voice speak out.

One which Averillara was familiar with.

She turns her head to the side, before having Ser Harrold Westerling walk towards her.

“Ser Criston Cole” Helaena looked at him confused.

Ser Criston then looks towards Averillara, and with a stern nod, calls her name, “Averillara.”

“Cole” Averillara coldly responds.

“Know your place here, Averillara. It is Ser Criston Cole” he tells her off.

“Is it? I hadn’t noticed” Averillara responded.

Helaena looked around, before taking a step back, finding the situation entirely too uncomfortable.

“You-!”

“Ser Criston Cole” Ser Harrold Westerling then took a step forward, now stood in front of Averillara.

Ser Cole looks towards Ser Westerling, before he places his hand down, from drawing his sword, his jaw clenching.

“It seems you forget your place” Averillara responds, “I am the first granddaughter of the King, and you are simply the Queens guard with no relation to his Grace. If you ever think to draw your sword at me again, I’ll have my Grandsire know.”

Averillara then pushes past him, having Ser Westerling follow behind her.

“Why would you speak to her?” Ser Criston Cole then looks to Helaena.

“Im sorry?” Helaena looked at him confused. This was a first he ever spoke to Helaena and in such a way too.

“Do not let their family walk all over you. Her mother is a cunning spider, as she will turn her daughter to be” Ser Cole then walks off.

Helaena watches him leave, confused as to what Ser Cole would mean by a cunning spider. He spoke as if she did not know Ser Cole was Averillara’s father.

She shrugged to herself, mumbling, before walking off.

~

“He is such a dog” Averillara complains.

“Who is?” Daemon asks, as he and Rhaenyra had made their way back down.

“Where have you been?” Rhaenyra asks, “we have been looking everywhere for you.”

“Ser Westerling has been with me, I am fine” Averillara responds.

She sighs, opening the door to her bed chamber, then slamming it in front of the three that were stood outside.

Daemon and Rhaenyra both turned to Ser Westerling, who sighed, before speaking the truth, “she had an.. encounter. With her father.”

Both parents give an understanding nod, before dispersing from her chamber, knowing that Averillara needed some time to herself.

My Montana (Cole Walter fanfic)

Chapter 2

"Hey Montana," a voice calls as Josie opens her locker grabbing one of her textbooks. She rolls her eyes knowing exactly who it is. "What do you want Cole?" she asked as she turned and looked up at him. Cole was leaning against one of the lockers beside hers with his blue shirt covered arms crossed in front of his chest, a smirk plastered on his face.

"Well I just wanted to check on my favorite someone," flirtation was clear in his voice. Josie swallows a little before raising her eyebrows.

"Oh, I'm your favorite person, am I? Now how many other girls have you said that to Cole? Because let's see there was Erin, Olivia..." Cole cuts her off by taking a hold of one of her hands, running his fingers over it. His rough skin played against her smooth skin causing her to lose her breath a little. Cole smirks as he sees that and chuckles a little. Josie lifts her eyes and looks into his deep blue eyes.

"I can still take your breath away, can I?" he questions, causing Josie to scoff, pulling her hand away and turning back to her locker.

"None of that," her voice was stern and Cole faltered a little bit, moving back a little and nodding.

"Alright," is all he replies. Josie looks at him from the corner of her eye to see if he was going to anything more but once she sees that he doesn't decide to go back to getting her stuff. Having found the textbook she grabs it and closes her locker, Cole stands watching her the entire time.

"So are you coming over tonight?" Josie laughs at him, pivoting and sauntering towards her class, Cole trailing behind her.

"You know if I had a dollar everytime a Walter boy asked me if I was coming over for dinner, I would have three dollars, I could buy myself... i don't know a jar of peanut butter," Cole chuckles as he watches as she moves her arms and shoulders around as she speaks, taking in the smile that decorates her face.

"Well Montana, I am pretty sure there is a jar of peanut butter at home with your name on it so save your dollars," a giggle leaves Josie lips, turning her head and seeing that Cole's eyes are still firmly set on her, his full attention was hers.

"Well knowing your house is probably all gone, I've never seen food disappear so quickly," Cole shrugs.

"Well we are a big family, if you want something to yourself you are going to have to hide it, and well. And luckily for you Montana, I made sure to get you your own jar of peanut butter, put your name on it and everything and I have it hidden in a safe space just for you," Josie raises her eyebrows.

"Well where is this safe space," curiosity hangs in her voice.

"I'm keeping that a secret. A safe space isn't a safe space if people know about it now," he opens the door for her and leans against the door frame of the classroom, Josie standing across from him.

"But what if I want some? I'm just supposed to ask you for some," she crosses her arms as she asks him. Cole leans forward and lowers his voice. 

"Of course. Give you more reason to talk to me," is all he says before his eyes turn and look at the people sitting waiting for class to start looking at them both.

"And with that, I will see you later Montana," pushing himself off of the doorframe and striding away.

"You have to stop off at my house," Josie calls after him, causing him to turn and raise a knowing look.

"Let me guess, you have to grab your guitar," she knows that he is teasing her, more times than not he has to stop so she can grab her guitar.

"Yes... please" she tells him sweetly. Cole's lip falls between his lips and he bites it slightly, looking her up and down.

"I like it when you say please... should say it more," and then he was off down the hallway and out the door Feeling her cheeks heating up and turning scarlet, Josie turns and walks into class and tries to get her mind off of Cole Walter.

The bell rings, signaling that another school day and all Josie wanted to do was get out of there. Strolling out of the school building is met with the mayhem of the car park where the only thoughts on people's mind was getting home, which she could relate to.

"Josie, hey" Danny shouts from the car to her. Danny gets into the car while she saunters overs towards them. Upon reaching the car she can see that every single one of the Walters boys was there waiting for her. Alex, Isaac, Lee and Nathan sitting in the back. Danny was sitting in the front passenger seat and  Cole was sitting in the driver's seat, his head turned back to her through the window. Walking towards the back door she meets his gaze.

"I'm surprised you didn't leave me behind," she states, causing Cole to smirk at her. "Forget you Montana. Never." Josie shakes her head with her lips pulled in a small smile before climbing into the back next to Alex.

"Hey," he says quietly to her.

"Hey," she replies to him before doing a double take at the car.

"Hey, where is Jackie?" Cole starts the car and reverses. Turning to her, Alex gives her a small smile. "Don't worry she is going with Skylar and Grace to get some ice cream. He didn't leave her behind again. Did you Cole?" Alex pesters him and Cole just shakes his head staying focused on the road, not biting Alex's bait. Soon the car fell into a quiet with the occasional bickering between Isaac and Lee.

The Walter ranch had always been a second home for Josie, having spent most of her time there, more than her actual home. With her Aunt Hattie working with Katherine at the clinic, they had vast working hours which would leave Josie in the house on her own, so it was easier for her to be at the Walter home where she was able to get a well cooked meal and have people surrounding her.

Pulling up to the ranch, it was a scramble to get out of the car with so many teens wanting to get out and do their own thing. Josie to the trunk of the car and opens it grabbing her guitar which they had stopped to get on the way over. "Hey, so I am going to do my homework, so can you teach me that song after dinner," Nathan asks while putting his bag over his left shoulder. Josie nods.

"Yeah that's fine, i have got some homework to do as well," she tells him, he gives her a nod and a smile before walking into the house. Danny leans against the back of the car as Josie grabs her things. "So what homework are we going to start with, i'm thinking english," Josie chuckles.

"Of course you would want to start with English, my best class," she sasses and Danny mouths gaps in pretend offense as they walk up the steps of the house

"Well it is not my fault that you have an understanding of it, and hey music is your best subject and don't argue with me about it Josephine," Josie gasps loudly.

"I cannot believe that you called me by my full name Daniel," opening the front door she walks into the house. "Not my real name," Danny tells her as he closes the door. Walking down the hall, the two enter the kitchen and see George cooking dinner.

"Hey you two, how was school?" he asks the pair, giving Danny a pat on the shoulder and Josie a hug.

"Yeah it was good. Schools, school. Not really that interesting," Josie tells him as she sits down at the small table in the corner. "Yeah well it is very important Jos and you know that, and hey you are doing well aren't you?" he asks as he pours the sauce on top of the uncooked lasagna.

"Of course she is doing well, she's Josie, I don't think you have ever failed at anything," Danny comments while he takes out his text books.

"You are saying that I am getting A's of something. I think the highest grade I have ever got is a B+," she informs them and George shakes his head.

"That's still good honey, don't put pressure on yourself, enjoy it," Josie rolls her eyes and nods.

"Trust me George. I intend to," Josie turns to her bag and pulls out a pen while George picks up the lasagna and places it into the oven. Parker runs into the kitchen with Jordan close on her tail with his camera in hand.

"Jordan, stop chasing me. DAD!!!" Parker shouts as she rounds the table and hides behind her father.

"Jordan, what have I told you about chasing your sister? And put away that camera for five minutes," George's stern voice causes Jordan to turn off the camera and place it at his side.

"I was only having a little fun," he tries to justify and George just simply shakes his head.

"Yeah you might have been, but when your sister tells you to stop, you stop. Got it?"Jordan nodded his head, arguing and that was the end of it.

"Now, you two?" he says pointing at the pair sitting at the table. "Watch the dinner while I work. It shouldn't take me more than half an hour. And Jordan you can come with me to make sure that you don't bother your sister anymore," Jordan groans, putting down his camera and walking with him down out of the house. Parker turns and looks at the teens doing their homework and strolls over.

"What are you doing?" she asks, leaning over slightly to look at the textbooks that are sprawled out across the table.

"We are starting our homework, Park. Got to keep the grade up," Josie tells the younger girl as she lifts her head up to look at the girl, a small smile present on her face.

"What type of homework is it?"

"English."

"What do you have to do?"

"Read this book and write a paper on what we think about this character."

"What is the book?"

"Wuthering Height."

"Who is the character?"

"Heathcliff."

"That's an odd name."

"Parker!!!" Danny snaps looking at his younger sister, his face scrunched up causing wrinkles on his forehead and his mouth to be closer to his mouth. "We are trying to do our homework and we can't get that done when you are here asking us a bunch of questions. I suspect that you will someday read this when you get to high school, maybe before. So until then can you please leave us alone," Danny tells her in as calm of a voice as he can. Parker simply rolls her eyes and puts her head back a little bit to emphasize what she was going to say.

"Fine" she sasses before turning. "I'm going to go out and play," she calls over her shoulder before opening the door and going outside. Josie giggles turning to Danny and seeing him shaking his head, his hand on one side of his face as he leans on it.

"I swear, it is impossible to get anything done here," he says looking at his text book. Josie snickers at him.

"It's always like this, why are you so shocked? And hey, she is just curious and at least she is showing some sort of interest in school," Danny just shakes his head again.

"Yeah, but cant she just wait until later to ask these questions, you know, when we are done." This time it is Josie who shakes her head with a smile on her face.

"Okay mister Sas. How about instead of talking about this, we actually do our work. Yeah?" Danny simply nods his head and turns his attention elsewhere. Josie's lips curl into a curve as she chuckles internally. Some things never change.

Disclaimer - I am not following the plotline of my life with the Walter boys as closely and am using the characters and making my own story. I will be taking some plotlines from the series but it won't directly follow the show. Also, this book is not going to focus on the build up to the relationship but the actual relationship.

I LOVE seeing headcanons related to Kai's powers. Like in the show he uses his power as a light source and that's cool, but people online go beyond that and come up with cool ideas of variety he could do as an elemental.

My favorites include:

The flame shield we saw with his True Potential. With how destructive fire is, you'd think his would be offensive like Zane's is, but no it's the opposite. I think that's poetic with how True Potential functions with the master's discovery of themselves. Zane's is raw power from his heart and soul because of his acceptance of his identity. Cole's is strength from his strong will to stand up for who he is no matter the weight and pressure. Jay's is teleportation and flight because... faith trust and pixie dust? Idk that one confuses me a little, someone help me there. Kai's is a shield because he is a brother at his core. That's his fighting purpose. It's to protect his family, blood or surrogate. His fire is a protection barrier for the people he loves.

Speaking of family, the idea that he has a higher body temperature than the others, and it doesn't affect him negatively. Maybe it causes heat strokes in intense environments, but idk for sure if that's a problem for him. So he's just a space heater half the time. Especially for his siblings like Nya and Lloyd. You're cold? You're sick? You're cuddling with Kai and staying warm, and he ain't letting you go. Unless you're Jay, then he might tell you 'can't wait to go to your funeral knowing I could've changed that outcome'. (Lloyd goes limp cause he's part dragon)

The flames change colors when in certain sources like the crystals from Elemental. I never knew I needed that. But I think Kai would just like to play with it around Lloyd to cheer up the angsty child, and Lloyd likes it because ooo pretty lights. Imagine using this for like a bedtime story for someone. He also would do it to frame other people for pranks. 'Oh the ashes are green well clearly Lloyd did it' 'Oh its rocks it's gotta be Cole'. It almost never works.

He's afraid of water because he can't swim. That's how I interpret it. So when you splash him with water, he's just frowning. And it depends on who does it. If it's Nya, he goes, "...ok." If it's someone else, he goes, "What'd you say to me?!" If it's someone like Jay, he goes, "So you have chosen death." My point is that despite the water paranoia, he likes taking baths, especially before bed. He'll tell you he hates them, because they make him do it before bed. They do it to calm him down because if he goes to bed mad, or has a panic attack, or has a nightmare, his powers could go off the fritz and he burns the bedsheets. He likes it as a calming thing, away from stress of the day. He also likes the bath salts, again his flames changing colors with that stuff. Half of the time it's ingredients from that Sereni-tea from that Wu's Tea shorts. It's a therapy medicine for him.

BLUE FLAMES. YUS. This is one that I wish we actually saw in the show because that would be awesome. He doesn't use it very often because it's hard to control and maybe damaging, but that's why he only uses it when he's just... out of control of himself. Imagine a nightmare of a situation where an enemy just takes it too far. Severely injures one of his siblings, for example. Then you just see the fire turn blue... you'd run for the hills if you were them. That man is angry. ANGRY angry

These aren't mine. I did not come up with these. I've just seen these scattered online everywhere, and I love it, and I love art of it.

“Why? Where are we going?”

“You’ll see” He hands her a plate “Eat up I’ll be waiting by the car”

Eleanor smiles as she digs into her breakfast then heads to get dressed She heads out and sees Liam waving next to a black tinted car. He holds the door open for her “Shall we?”

Eleanor grins then heads to the car and they drive in a comfortable silence before Eleanor breaks it “Where are we going dad?”

“To a very special place” The car stops and Eleanor looks in confusion

“Dad what is this place?”

“It’s where I met your mother”

“You met mom here?”

Liam nods “Yup your uncle Drake took me out for a little party because it was the social season and soon I was to pick a bride I wasn’t having fun cause all I could think about was how I had to be engage to someone by the end of year someone I wasn’t gonna love I was dreading heading back home”

“What happened?”

“We stopped by this bar and I went to take a call but when I came back I saw the most beautiful woman”

Eleanor grins “Mom?”

“Oh yes even in her waitress uniform her beauty outshined everything”

Eleanor giggles “Then what happened?”

“You’re about to find out” He takes her hand and guides her down the street to a club “This is where she took us next so we could have some fun and we talked then she something spontaneous for me” He takes her hand and guides her to a bridge

Eleanor grins “Is that the Statue of Liberty?”

Liam nods “She called in a favor and had a boat ride around it and speaking of here comes our boat now”

Eleanor grins “Dad you didn’t have to do all this”

“That smile on your face is worth it my princess now let’s board” They head on the boat and get close to the statue “And this is where I asked her to marry me imagine my joy when she said yes”

“You’re love story is so sweet”

“It is and so will yours”

Eleanor sighs “But what if he rejects me?”

“Then that’s his loss forget doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you”

Eleanor smiles “I know I just starting to fall for him and I can’t help”

Liam places a hand on her shoulder “I know you can’t just turn off your feelings but like I told you before if he truly loves you he’ll accept you as you are”

“Like how you fell for mom?”

“I know she had a difficult time during the social season but I didn’t care where she came from I love her all the same”

Eleanor grins “Thanks dad you’re the best”

“Anytime my princess now shall we get some lunch?”

“Did you make it?”

“I was thinking we can go to a restaurant”

Eleanor grins “No I want you to make it”

Liam chuckles “Ok let’s head to the store and decide what to make”

Finn Cole- Red Carpet Interview

Finn and I exist our car together ready for our season 5 premiere and interviews. I smooth out my dress before taking Finns arm and we make our way down the carpet taking photos and doing interview

"Hi, how are you both this evening?" One of our interviewers asks

"We're good thank you, excited for tonight" I smile replying

"Watching the show it's about the Shelby family, but I get the impression you guys are actually a family off screen. You both seem to be with Harry a lot when your not filming"

"Yeah we're definitely a family, and I think we're lucky that we can say that" Finn says with a hand now around my waist

"Harry and I are the closest in age he's only like a year older than me so we have really grown up together from season 1. I always say that Harry is my annoying twin, Cillian is the dad, Paul the cool uncle, Sophie is my big sister and Jos like a brother to me"

"A real family then. I guess that makes filming so fun and easy for you guys?"

"Definitely. I can't imagine working on a set we're you haven't got these friendships" Finn replies

"I have to say in the last season we saw YCN toughen up a bit, will that continue throughout the next season?"

"For sure. We are going to see a lot of different things that YCN will struggle with which makes her really angry I guess and at times she will loose her cool"

We're then moved on to our next interview

"Hi how are you doing?" we're asked again

"We're well thank you"

"It's so lovely to see everyone coming out and dressing up. I've seen some people in period clothing"

"Oh wow I love that"

"That's brilliant. That's what we've, we've created a show we're people can get involved and can dress up and can enjoy it for the same reasons we can enjoy it and it's a really special thing in tv..." I see Natasha walk over to us smiling

"Oh hello" I smile interrupting Finn

"Hello" she smiles back

"Sorry babe carry on, I get distracted so easily" I tell the interviewer who laughs

"We we're just saying how nice it is to see everyone dressed up"

"Oh I love it, and the vibe, I wash just told that this is where they would stand to sign up for the war. And since the show focuses so heavily on PTSD it's really quite emotional" Nat says

"As actors what is it about Stevens writing that jumps out of that script when you first see it"

"Oh I only read my parts" I joke but don't last long because I start laughing "No I'm kidding. Erm for me it's how I'm kept at the edge of my seat. Like I can't ever predict what's going to happen"

"You can hear the music coming of the pages"

"It's one of those experiences reading something where it's so visual but every sentence is so exciting" I nods agreeing with Finn

"YN in season 4 we finally got to see YCN fall in love. Will that transpire into this season?"

"Yes. Unfortunately Jordan had brier engagements so wasn't able to film with us anymore so Daryl was casted and he's just slotted right in with all of us"

"What about Micheal. Will we get to see him fall in love this season?"

"Ah that you'll have to wait and see" Finn says making me chuckle because his answer basically was yes.

Move move on to another interview this time just Finn and I. This time it's an interviewer who has interviewed me since season 1

"It's good to see you both again"

"It's good to see you as well. How have you been?" I ask

"I really good thank you. You know I look back at my old interviews with you all and everyone looks practically the same, but then there's you and Harry who now look like actually adults" I laugh at her making the comment

"I know it's crazy. We filmed the pilot when I was 12 and now I'm 20 so it's crazy that nearly 10 years I've been with these guys"

"Well what is the dynamic like on set of a program of a drama like peaky blinders because it's very intense"

"Oh it's horrible" Finn jokes earning a nudge off me

"You know what's weird we would be doing a really intense scene but the moment we hear cut, we all burst out laughing" I say smiling "in season 4 I had to throw a drink at Lizzie but I only really had one chance so we did it over and over again with an empty cup. Then when we were ready we did it for real and I felt to bad. So as soon as we stopped filming I hugged her and kept apologising while Nat was just laughing the whole time"

Finn and I finish up with more interviews and some photos, watching the first episode of season 5 and then finally going to a little after party with all of the cast.

Chapter 2 pt 1

A new day arises and a new lesson for Lloyd begins. Like always I can mostly just watch and learn from what I've seen. Lloyd is making his third attempt at making the light bulb glow but it fails leaving him frustrated with the results blaming the ninja for pressuring him. I sighed, getting my own broom and helped clean the mess seeing Lloyd is using his broom to beat the crap out of a punching bag and even broke the broom. I used this time to think. What if I had elemental powers like Lloyd or maybe my own cool ability besides invisibly. I know it's silly though but maybe I can just dream of it. "Oh Angela, want to come with me to darkly." Lloyd asked "umm sure why asked" I questioned "i was invited back for a ceremony and I want to show them who's helped me through my change" he explained "sure. But i don't have anything good to wear for such occasions" I said, then Wu came up and handed me a box "well you'll never know what would turn up " he said. I opened the box to see a purple ninja suit. I smiled as stars formed in my eyes "Seriously!" I asked and he just nodded "okokokok. I'll be right back" I said as I zoomed to the closest changing room. I changed into my purple ninja suit which looked almost identical to Lloyd's if it wasn't for the ninjago symbol for serpent in the back. And I had only one sleeve. I stood in the mirror to admire the design. It was also long enough to cover most of my tail. I do have a purple hood which was nice and a scarf to cover my mouth. While I was there I took off what remains of my shed skin from last time and my rosettes were more reflective than last time and my purple scales grew darker. After checking myself out I exit to let them see my new look. "Wow you look so cool" Lloyd said as he came up to me "i didn't know you had a pattern and i forgot your hair was short" Lloyd spoke "you look like a proper ninja" cole said as everyone agrees. This painted a smile on my face. Although we could stay for days discussing my new look we had to go. Me ,Cole, Zane, Jay, Kai, and Lloyd rode on the dragon to darkly but it was a bumpy ride as Lloyd was riding the dragon but hey we got here in one piece. But when we entered I was left with an unsettling feeling "Lloyd" a voice spoke "uh brad" Lloyd questioned "you came!so good to see you!" Brad said as he gave Lloyd a hug "it is ? You put fire ants in my bed" Lloyd said which made me wide eyed for a second then I forgot it was Darkly’s school for bad boys. "And you must be the ninja" Brad said "guys meet Brad Tudabone" Lloyd introduced "such a huge fan " Brad replied. He offered to lead us to the principal's office and the more we go in the school the more suspicious it becomes. Especially when I don't see a single teacher here "Principal noble. Lloyd the ninja are here for the ceremony" Brad exclaimed where the principal replied for us to wait. Brad ends up leaving us. We were permitted to enter but instead of the ninja it was some kid named Gene then before anything else could happen I was hit in the end by a sack knocking me out. I wake up tied up to a chair in a separate room. There's nobody around, not even the ninja. Luckily I was part snake so I could slither out. Now I need to get out. Luckily the door had glass so I broke it. Only to be grabbed and tossed out by… Jay? "We found the girl now to destroy the ninja" evil zane said as evil cole grabbed a hold of me "LET HER GO" i heard kai yelled. I was dropped on the spot so they could battle the ninja. I slithered off to the principal's office to see everyone sewing "need some help" I asked. With my assistance it made the sewing process easier so we can aid the real ninja. We head towards the battle and disrupt the evil ninja enough to land a hit. I sighed but we got ourselves a real celebration and cake.

HOTD "A Son For A Son" Thoughts

Winterfell: Nostalgia.

Starting at Winterfell: It gave me so much nostalgia listening to the Stark's theme. I cannot wait to see more of Cregan; I wish the show would've shown more of Jace in the North. But it was nice to be back at the Wall.

Dragonstone: Tension and Conflict

The conversation between Rhaenys and Daemon. I understand why he is so upset and restless; Rhaenyra has been gone for a while, and no retaliation has been done to the Greens. I understand wanting to kill Vhagar, but honestly, the whole "kill Vhagar with Meleys and Caraxes and attacking King's Landing" and "I'd pity Aemond" is bullshit. Let's be real—they have no chance against Vhagar (not without one of them at least dying in the process).

Also, the line "It'd if you were the King…" Oh Rhaenys—the Queen you would have been.

Rhaenyra’s Silent Sorrow

Rhaenyra broke my heart this episode. I liked that she didn't need to speak to show her grief. It was an amazing performance; the heartbreak in the first scene as she watches Storm's End.

Driftmark: I'm curious about this Alyn guy. I also wonder if they'd bring back Laenor. I'm kind of hoping that they do… but I don't think it would happen anytime soon. Perhaps he will come back after a very important death of a loved one who will die this season.

King's Landing: I kind of liked Aegon this episode. He is trash; he is not a good king, obviously, but he is so oblivious that it was funny and entertaining to watch him. It kind of made me think about how he would have turned out if only Viserys had cared more for him, if Rhaenyra and he had a better relationship, or if Alicent hadn't been such a shitty mother.

Alicent and Cole: Hypocrisy and Disgust

I could not be more disgusted… and this says a lot considering that this show is hard on the incest. But this couple, the first scene they appear in this season, just disgusted me… and I get it. Good for you, Alicent, you probably never enjoyed sex before in your life, but seriously, you could do better than this bitch…

I don't know, but Alicent has really pissed me off this episode. She's portrayed as a saint, but she's a hypocrite, and so weak. Where is the Alicent of episode six and seven? That's the Alicent I want to see; the whole righteousness act is getting boring. I want to see her being the mother of the usurper and the evil stepmother she was in season 1.

Criston Cole can go and fuck himself. I literally cannot wait for him to die. Every time he shows up on the screen, it's so fucking annoying.

Aemond: The Threat

We didn't see enough of Aemond this episode. He is insane but smart, probably the only real threat in Team Green at the moment, which is why it makes sense that Daemon wants to get rid of him—not only for revenge but also for Vhagar. I liked that Aegon put him on the council. And I understand the strain in his and Alicent's relationship; she's mad at him for killing Lucerys when she literally requested the boy's eye when he was a kid. I imagine Aemond must have felt like she was also siding with Lucerys on the matter.

Otto: Is a cunt as usual… but an enjoyable one. I liked the scene in the Throne Room where he councils Aegon. It gave me Joffrey and Tywin vibes.

Larys Strong: Creeping Influence

I like how he has gained power little by little. And he is definitely Alicent's karma. I think that scene where she's bathing is the moment she realizes that Rhaenys was right—she's never going to be free. All these men are controlling her and constantly diminishing her: Otto, Aegon, Aemond, Cole, and Larys. She would have been happier and more free if she had remained on Rhaenyra's side after she was crown Queen.

Aegon as a Father: Inconsistent Portrayal

Jaehaerys: I wish we had seen more of him to actually care... i've seen a lot of reaction videos and people were shocked obviously, but everyone was more mad and upset about cheese kicking the dog. But i wish we have seen more of Aegon as a father, because at this point, it felt just forced. Aegon has so many bastards in Flea Bottom, and he was ready to leave his kids, wife, and everything behind in episode 9. And now he's a good father? I'm not buying it.

Mysaria: The Essential Outsider

Mysaria: Oh, she's an interesting character. I think Team Black needs a member like this, someone to pull on strings. I think she's the counterpart of Larys.

Daemon: The Rogue Prince

And his crime hoodie. I found it tedious how he kept blaming everyone around him. But I get it; he is impulsive and prone to anger. And I truly want to believe that he ordered Blood and Cheese to kill Aegon's son, because he is not supposed to be a nice character. I do feel like the showrunners are whitewashing this whole conflict too much. With Aemond accidentally killing Lucerys. And now the rats choosing to kill the boy instead.

There is no need to hold back. I mean, in "Game of Thrones," we saw worse. We saw the Lannisters trying to kill Bran, we saw Stannis burning his own daughter, we saw Jon hanging the boy (can't remember his name), we saw Daenerys killing hundreds, we saw the Red Wedding.

This leads me to the last scene… Blood and Cheese and Helaena.

I honestly love Helaena so much; at this point i think i like her even more than i like Rhaenyra, but no more than i like Rhaenys. I think the performance of the actress is so good. I find it interesting that she's a dreamer. I bet Viserys never even knew of it.

I enjoyed Helaena and Aegon's interaction; obviously, you can tell they are more siblings than husband and wife.

My frustration with the scene comes from the lack of guards. We don't need to see more violence; it was already bad and terrible enough with only the sound. But the fact that there were no guards there, that they didn't have to kill anyone to get to Helaena and the children, it's just ridiculous. I also think the lack of begging on Helaena's part comes from a place of her knowing this was going to happen one way or the other; she saw it already. So the best she could do was to save her daughter.

But I would have loved to see Alicent being tied up, watching all of this unfold. I understand the changes for Maelor's absence, but the no guards is lazy writing unless they find a way to justify it next episode.

Anyways... FUCK THE HIGHTOWERS!

The Last Resort of Good Men Pt. 2

The Family Retainer

Dorian Masterpost Previous: Contact

The PC approaches the Gull and Lantern in Redcliffe.

If Dorian was told: Dorian: This is where the retainer is supposed to be? Typical drama. Come to Skyhold? no, don’t be silly…

If Dorian was not told: Dorian: We here for a drink? Not that I mind, really… just seems an odd stop.

If Dorian is not in the party: PC: Don’t see anyone waiting for us.

Party comments:

Sera: Could’ve just stayed in Skyhold if we were meeting no one.

Cole: Maybe he left? You don’t have what they want.

Varric: Probably saw you coming and left. You’ve a bit of a reputation, Inquisitor.

PC: Not going to show himself unless I bring Dorian? Or never here at all?

—

The PC enters the tavern with Dorian.

Halward: Dorian.

Dorian: Father. So the whole story about the “family retainer” was just… what? A smoke screen?

Halward: Then you were told. [6]

2 - PC did not tell Dorian Dorian: The place is deserted? Is this normal or—?

Dorian’s father appears at he bottom of the nearby stairs.

Halward: Dorian.

5 - General: I was deceived. PC: I wasn’t expecting your father here. [6]

6 - Scene continues.

Halward walks up to them.

Halward: I apologize for the deception, Inquisitor. I never intended for you to be involved.

Dorian: Of course not. Magister Pavus couldn’t come to Skyhold and be seen with the dread Inquisitor. What would the people think? What is “this” exactly, Father? Ambush? Kidnapping? Warm family reunion?

Halward: (Sighs.) This is how it has always been.

Dialogue options:

General: Just talk to him. [7]

General: Maybe I should go. [8]

General: He has a right to be angry. [9]

7 - General: Just talk to him. PC: You went through all of this to get Dorian here. Talk to him. Dorian: Yes, Father. Talk to me. Let me hear how mystified you are by my anger. [10]

8 - General: Maybe I should go. PC: I should leave you to work this out… Dorian (told Dorian): Oh, no you don’t. I want a witness. I want someone to hear the truth. [10] Dorian (did not tell Dorian): No. You wanted to involve yourself. You should hear the truth. [10]

9 - General: He has a right to be angry. PC: Considering you lied to get him here, Dorian has every right to be furious. Dorian: You don’t know the half of it! But maybe you should. [10]

10 - Scene continues.

Halward: Dorian, there’s no need to—

Dorian looks at the PC over his shoulder.

Dorian: I prefer the company of men. My father disapproves.

11 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: “The company of men”? [12]

Investigate: Why is it an issue? [13]

General: Give your father a chance. [14]

General: That’s what this is about? [15]

General: So walk away. [16]

12 - Investigate: “The company of men”? PC; I’ll need you to explain that. Dorian: Did I stutter? Men, and the company thereof. As in sex. Surely you’ve heard of it.

Flirt (male PC): I’ve done it. [17]

Surprised: I had no idea. [18]

Stoic: I had a suspicion. [19]

Confused: No women at all? [20]

Angry: Spare me the details. [21]

17 - Flirt: I’ve done it. PC: I’ve more than heard of it, actually. Dorian: No! The Herald of Andraste? I am shocked and scandalized. Inquisitor: Such sarcasm. ㅤㅤ ㅤ Dorian (flirted with before): You’re not exactly subtle, oh Lord Inquisitor. Dorian (not flirted with before): Now I’m trying to think of how they’ll write that verse of the Chant. ㅤㅤ ㅤ Halward: I should have known that’s what this was about. Dorian turns back to his father. Dorian: No. You don’t get to make those assumptions. You know nothing about the Inquisitor. [22] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 18 - Surprised: I had no idea. PC: I just… didn’t expect that. Dorian: Well, it’s not as if I introduced myself that way. “Hello, my name is Dorian. I like men.” Maybe I should start. Some days it seems that’s all anyone cares about. Halward: This display is uncalled for. Dorian: No, it is called for. You called for it by luring me here. [22] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 19 - Stoic: I had a suspicion. PC: This is not exactly news, Dorian. Dorian: And why should it be? Why should anyone care? I have no idea. Halward: This display is uncalled for. Dorian: No, it is called for. You called for it by luring me here. [22] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 20 - Confused: No women at all? PC: You’ve… never been with a woman? Or wanted to? ㅤㅤ ㅤ Dorian (female PC): Allow me to say: women are fine creatures. You, for instance, are amazing above all others. Dorian (male PC): Not to my recollection. Don’t get me wrong, they’re wonderful. ㅤㅤ ㅤ Dorian: They’re just… not for me. That’s not so beyond belief, is it? Halward: This display is uncalled for. Dorian: No, it is called for. You called for it by luring me here. [22] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 21 - Angry: Spare me the details. PC; That’s what I thought. No need to elaborate. Dorian: Good. I’d hate to resort to drawing pictures. Halward: This display is uncalled for. Dorian: No, it is called for. You called for it by luring me here. [22] ㅤㅤ ㅤ 22 - Scene continues. ㅤㅤ ㅤ Halward: This is not what I wanted. ㅤㅤ ㅤ Dorian: I’m never what you wanted, Father, or had you forgotten? ㅤㅤ ㅤ [Back to 11]

13 - Investigate: Why is it an issue? PC: That’s… a big concern in Tevinter, then? Dorian: Only if you’re trying to live up to an impossible standard. Every Tevinter family is intermarrying to distill the perfect mage, perfect body, perfect mind. The perfect leader. It means every perceived flaw—every aberration—is deviant and shameful. He looks at his father, who looks away. Dorian: It must be hidden. [back to 11]

14 - General: Give your father a chance. PC: Your father might be here to reach out. You could give him a chance. Dorian: Let’s just go. [23]

15 - General: That’s what this is about? PC; So that’s what all of this is about? Who you sleep with? Dorian: That’s not all it’s about. [23]

16 - General: So walk away. PC: Then walk away, Dorian. You already did that once, didn’t you? Dorian (did not tell Dorian): Yet here I am once again, no thanks to you. Dorian (told Dorian): I agree. Let’s go. There’s nothing more to be gained here. [23]

23 - Scene continues.

Halward: Dorian, please. If you’ll only listen to me.

Dorian walks up to him.

Dorian: Why? So you can spout more convenient lies? He taught me to hate blood magic. “The resort of the weak mind.” Those are his words. But what was the first thing you did when your precious heir refused to play pretend for the rest of his life? You tried to change me!

Halward: I only wanted what was best for you!

Dorian: You wanted the best for you! For your fucking legacy! Anything for that!

He storms back to the PC.

Dialogue options:

General: You didn’t let him speak. [24]

General: Don’t leave it like this. [25] -Dorian disapproves

General: Are we done? [26] -Dorian disapproves

General: Let’s get you out of here. [27]

24 - General: You didn’t let him speak. PC: You got a lot off your chest. Can’t you give him a chance to do the same? [28]

25 - General: Don’t leave it like this. PC: Don’t leave it like this, Dorian. You’ll never forgive yourself. [28]

26 - General: Are we done? PC: I hope we’re done here. Dorian: We are. They leave, and the scene ends.

27 - General: Let’s get you out of here. PC: I think it’s time we left. Dorian: I agree. They leave, and the scene ends.

28 - Scene continues.

*He walks back up to his father.

Dorian: Tell me why you came.

Halward: If I knew I would drive you to the Inquisition…

Dorian: You didn’t. I joined the Inquisition because it’s the right thing to do. Once I had a father who would have known that.

Dorian turns to leave.

Halward: Once I had a son who trusted me. A trust I betrayed. I only wanted to talk to him. To hear his voice again. To ask him to forgive me.

Dorian gives the PC a look, and the PC nods towards Halward. The PC leaves Dorian and his father to talk.

Keeping Spirits Bright

Day 11: Snow + Ralex <=AO3

“If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?” 

The question comes out of nowhere, but Alex is used to that with Reggie-his mind works in mysterious ways. And maybe it’s because he’s a good boyfriend, or maybe it’s because he is bored and there’s nothing on that he indulges him. “I mean in the US? New York definitely-I want to see the sights and sounds of Broadway. In the world? I mean, I’d like to visit Germany; see where my oma and opa grew up. What about you?”

“I’d go to Antarctica.” 

“Why ?” Alex asks with a sidelong look. 

“Well for one, because I would like to see a penguin,” Reggie said, ticking it off on his finger. “Plus I would love to see snow.” 

“You've never seen snow before?”’ Alex asked. 

“I mean, I have,” Reggie replied. “But nothing that stayed long enough to do all the fun wintery stuff you can do in it. Make a snowman, go skiing, have a snowball fight.” 

“I mean if you really wanna ski we can go up to Vail,” Alex offered. “I used to go with my folks all the time when I was a kid.” 

“I don’t think I should actually ski,” Reggie replied. “You know how uncoordinated I am. But a wintery getaway might be fun. One day when we can afford it.” 

“Go to a chalet in the Alps, sip cocoa by the fire?’ Alex proposed. 

“Skate on a frozen lake, go on a sleigh ride,” Reggie mused. “Though I still wanna make snow angels.” 

“We can do that,” Alex assured him with a giggle. “Maybe when we tour through Europe we can convince Luke to take a break in Switzerland in December.” 

“Oooh, have a real white Christmas!” Reggie enthused. “With a real tree, and chestnuts and everything in that Nat King Cole song.” 

“That’d be nice,” Alex admitted. “So that’s what we’ll do-when we’re rich and famous, we’ll have our winter getaway, complete with all the wintery fun you want, and it’ll be great.” 

“Yeah,” Reggie sighed, leaning into his side. “I can’t wait to do all that with you-see the world, play sold out shows everywhere, get to do everything we’ve ever wanted to.” 

“As long as we’re together,” Alex stated.

“No getting rid of me,” Reggie assured him. 

And years later, with fresh rings on their fingers, Alex mad good on their imaginings-whisking them away to a cabin for the holidays. Reggie was in his glee-even as he shivered through every activity, despite his layers. Nothing could erase his smile, and Alex prided himself on a job well done. 

But also on having the forethought to get the fire and cocoa ready so his new husband didn’t get hypothermia before they go to their sleigh ride and snowball fight. 

A snowball fight Alex was determined to win. 

Of course, given Reggie helped coach Little League, he had pretty good aim, but he was a rank amateur when it came to forming his projectiles, so Alex scraped by with a win, but they were laughing too much to really keep score. 

The sleigh ride was more sedate-though of  course Reggie, ever the cowboy at heart was so enthralled by the horses he almost missed the scenery. Alex didn’t mind though-Reggie’s enthusiasm helped belay his own anxieties about trusting two massive beasts (and their driver) to steer them safely through unknown woods and not toss them into a ravine or something. Reggie swore that one day he was taking Alex horseback riding, but Alex wished him all the luck in the world ever getting him close to a horse again, no matter how smooth the ride had been. 

“Anything else you wanna check off your wintery bucket list before Christmas?” Alex asked that night as they enjoyed their fire and some warm cider. “The staff says the lake isn’t solid enough to skate on so that’s a no, but we could try skiing if you’re up for it.” 

“Would it be terrible of me to say I wanna stay in tomorrow?’ Reggie asked. “I love that you did all this for me, but snow is cold and wet , and I’m kinda over it?” 

Alex laughed then to the point that he almost collapsed on top of Reggie. “Oh thank god you said something. I am so sick of it!”

It was Reggie’s turn to laugh then, the two of them holding each other as they shook with giddiness. “So you wanna head home?” Alex asked. 

Reggie looked outside to where the drifts were sparkling in the moonlight, then back to Alex, lit by the fire’s glow and the soft twinkling of the lights on the tree they had decorated earlier. “Nah, I still want my Christmas with you. Just maybe we'll stick to indoor activities from here on out.” 

Alex grinned, pulling him in to rub their pink noses together. “That sounds like a perfect way to finish off our honeymoon.” 

Reggie responded with a kiss-one hot enough to make even their lopsided snowman melt. But that was okay-the both of them preferred the heat. So even with the snow blowing outside, they didn’t mind-they had each other to keep them warm.

VIDEO: Blake is seen walking along Castelia's docks, overlooking the bay where the inky black waves roll lazily against the bleak, gray city shores. Their two newest additions to the team, Phaedra and Boo, are out with them- the Sandile waddling behind them, and the Yamask loosely linking his arm with theirs as he drifts along with them. The two young Pokemon gawk and marvel at the city sights around them, but Blake seems focused on getting wherever they're headed. "They're probably still waiting for us at the center," They say, briefly looking back at their companions. "Rotom, can you shoot them both a text and say we're on our..." Blake trails off when their eyes are drawn to something up ahead, and they come to a stop. Rotom whirs, then flips around to let you see what they're looking at- a person donning a Plasma Grunt uniform sitting casually on a bench with one leg propped up over the other, tapping away at some device on his wrist. For a moment, you see Blake recoil back apprehensively, but that confused scowl quickly lights up in realization. "Cole?" The teen turns at the sound of his name, and he seems just as surprised. He stumbles up from his seat, and waves awkwardly. "Blake? I didn't think you'd still be in Castelia." "I'm about to leave," They say with a shrug, awkwardly glancing towards Boo. "I just came to get my friends so we can head out." "Right, your friends..." Cole murmurs, and Blake raises a brow when something in the boy's expression seems to sadden. "...How are Cheren and Bianca, by the way?" "...You know them?" "We..." He briefly fidgets with the fabric of his uniform sleeve. "We were in the same first grade class. We basically grew up together, but uh- we haven't talked in like, a year. Small world, huh?" "Oh," Blake nods towards red roof of the Pokemon Center in the distance. "I was just about to go meet with them! You can come, if you wa-" "No, no, it's fine!" Cole quickly declines, frantically waving his hands in refusal. "I- I shouldn't- I shouldn't let them see me like this..." "But..." Blake frowns in concern at his protest. "If you told them you're just undercover, I'm sure they'd understand?" "Tr-trust me, it's for the best if as few people know about what I'm doing as possible..." He sighs, eyes falling to his boots dejectedly. "I'm here on a mission, anyways. In fact, I should probably-" "A mission?" Blake stops him just as he's about to turn and hurry away. "Team Plasma has some secret operation going on at Liberty Garden," he explains, gesturing out to sea, where you can see the silhouette of the aforementioned island against the thick fog. "I don't know what they could possibly want there, but it can't be good. I have to go and try to stop whatever it is they're doing!" Blake takes a minute to process everything he's telling them, then shakes their head and pinches the bridge of their nose. "Wait, wait wait- you're telling me you're planning to sabotage them, alone, no backup, on a tiny, secluded island out at sea? And somehow keep up your undercover identity?" "It... uh, well..." Cole, stutters over himself, like he's realizing now himself the scale of what he's trying to pull off. "I've... handled... worse, before." Blake just looks at him doubtfully, then sighs, running a hand over the side of their face. "Yeah, no, kid, that isn't going to work in a million years." "Well at least I'm actually trying to do something, unlike someone!" He jabs a finger at their shoulder accusingly. "I get it, okay? You think I'm in way over my head, and-" "Cole, wait," They interrupt, and give another long exhale as they rub their temple. "Look, you are way in over your head. Which is why I... I'll help you." "You-" Cole is about to keep ranting, but then blinks in surprise. "What?" "I... had time to think about what you said last time," they admit. "A-and uh, also, I had another run in with Plasma, too. A... pretty bad one." "I heard our base here was compromised..." Cole rubs his chin, and looks back up at them when he puts the pieces together. "That was you?!"

"And a few friend," Blake chuckles, but their serious tone is quick to return. "It made me realize just how big a deal Plasma is. They... they hurt people I care about," their gaze momentarily falls to where King's ball hangs on their belt. "And I'm not about to let them get away with it. I'm sorry I didn't take you seriously before..."

Cole simply stares at them for a moment, processing their words. Eventually, he just sighs, and offers them a forgiving smile. "It's alright. I guess I can't blame you too much. It's like you said- you came here for school, not to do hero business."

"I don't think I could escape hero business if I tried," they huff lightheartedly, but... there is a hint of sad acceptance in their eyes. It's gone as quick as you notice it, though, as they look to Cole and cross their arms. "But hey, I might as well try and do what I can to help, right?"

"Thank you," Cole says, sounding relieved as he turns towards and points his finger at an ominous black boat docked not too far from where they stand. "That's the ship they're boarding and taking to the island. We set sail about two hours from now."

"Alright." Blake nods affirmatively. "...Any plan to get me on there, or...?"

"Actually, I do happen to have one," Cole says with a grin, then reaches for the duffle bag he had hidden underneath the bench he'd been sitting on before. He crouches down, rummages through it, then pulls out a white piece of clothing with the Plasma insignia printed on it. "You any good an actor?"

Chapter 29

Cw:mentions of injuries, some harassment, mentions of murder

Taglist: @mercedesdecorazon @darylandbethfanforever9 @aemondx @sweethoneyblossom1 @watercolorskyy @ewanmitchellcrumbs

Gif by @netrunners

Aegon’s recovery is odd.

He lives, his broken bones heal faster than they should, and the burns are suddenly not as horrible as they were.

He must recover his strength, however, at the moment he is unable to even sit up in his bed without assistance.

But at least he was not in the shit state he was last night. He had been so hopped up on milk of the poppy that Aegon was very sure he had died last night.

He had seen his lovely wife help the chambermaid kill him, but Orwyle dismissed it as poppy dreams, like the one of the dancing bears carrying off his mother.

The Chambermaid, sister to the one that looked like Bee that he had taken by force when he was drunk, had acted alone.

Mother shares his suspicions about Aemma, after all, they did kill her mother ---unintentional on his part, very intentional on his mother’s or so he heard her tell Alys.

And he did kill her grandmama, so there was that too.

‘This is for them’ she had whispered as she put the pillow on his face, it had been so lifelike and so real. Like Ellyn’s little snores and that scared little gasp before she died in his dream.

Aegon heard a great many things while he was asleep.

Cole felt guilty for killing Rhaenyra, Cole fucked Rhaenyra and had believed himself to be Aemma’s father when she was born and, worse, Cole fucked his mother.

His first words this morning had been mother fucker.

He won’t geld him; fucking is perfectly natural. Besides, it sounded like something mother regretted and that sounded like punishment enough.

But Westeros does have a new insult.

A shame he is still too weak to leave bed yet and must wait until he has regained his mobility through horrid exercises Orwyle and his grey rats had been talking about with Alys.

“Where do you think our dear Prince Regent is this morning?” Alys asked Cole as she flirted with him while Aegon feigned to have dozed off. "Her grace has sent servants to collect him and has yet to find him.

He used to get flustered like a man maiden before this, now he acts like she might kill him.

Should he tell him about that dream where he saw her covered in bloody seven-pointed stars after she made mother kill sweet little Ellyn?

Perhaps not, they might use it as an excuse to keep him here longer.

At the moment he is being cared for by Alys and if he is good, she has promised to let him feast from her teat.

Mother’s milk heals all, the witch had said when they used to fuck.

“We are sworn to protect their secrets, my lady.” He answered and Aegon snorted.

He was with Aemma, no doubt fucking her thinking they’d gotten rid of him.

Aegon cannot wait to see him gone.

Did anyone beside mother give a shit about him here?

“Yes, you protect them so well, Lord Commander.” The witch said loving how uncomfortable she makes him. “Doesn’t the little queen sound just like her mother when she’s in the throes of passion, Ser Criston?”

Criston colors, angry, ashamed or both, and turns away making it impossible for the bedbound king to hear more of this mummery.

They also see he has awoken from his short nap giving Cole the excuse to run.

This was very entertaining and so far the only entertainment he has had in his sickroom.

Oh well.

But his visitors are a sight for sore eyes though.

Aemma’s pretty face looks a little fuller than when he last saw her, the nightgown is a little snug now, and Aegon is relieved to know he won’t be needing his brother to seed her anymore.

He will put Criston’s advice to the test, he will be a good and loyal husband to her and love the little bastard as much as if it were his.

And she will forget Aemond, Aenys will wed Daenaera or if it is an Aelicent she will wed Rhaenyra’s welp named after him and she will be his heir.

“Ah, I see motherhood agrees with you, dear wife!” he greets them all with good cheer despite Aemma looking at him like he has grown a second head.

He was only being nice to her, complimenting her in a way that wouldn’t make her glower at him or have mother chastise him for being crude.

It wasn’t like he told her he likes how he likes her pert breasts now that they have grown a little.

“I suppose it does, or it will until the morning sickness kicks in.” she said and somehow her talking like that was as surprising as Aegon awaking better than before.

Aemma refuses to retreat again, she’s lost time grieving and now that her first attempt has proven a failure, she must try again.

But she needs to plan, to ensure the time is right and make sure this piece of shit laughing about everything dies.

Aemma will be damned if she lets them steal her life away again.

Her mother and grandmother cannot be avenged if she is a shell of herself.

“Please tell me you had nothing to do with it.” Aemond whispers the moment they are kicked out of the king’s chambers and he pulls her into the linen closet at the end of the hall.

Aemond corners her against the wall, and instead of being afraid he will rat her out, the queen is excited as he cuts off any chance she has or leaving the little room.

Danger can be so addicting and after being numb for so long anything that reignites that spark in her soul is as welcome as Aegon’s death.

“I heard the commotion, I simply believed I was free of him.” She lies and he rolls his eye knowing she is lying.

Aemond knows her so well, she could never lie to him. She was a fucking idiot for believing she could. Aemma should’ve known better.

“Fine, I put the pillow over his face until he stopped thrashing, and the maid took the blame when your mother heard we killed him.

I do not care that it is sin and a crime and everything in between because gods-damnit it felt good to know I was finally free of him.” she cannot stop once she gets started and by the end of it, the queen sees the shock written in his face.

“How easy it was to forget you had the blood of the dragon just as I did these past weeks.” He says in response, his voice low and holding that hint of amusement, as if he finally had confirmation she was as much as a Targaryen as he was.

This fucker, he had assumed she didn’t have what it took to be a dragon queen!

If she wasn’t so in love with him, she’d knee him in his jewels.

“What is that supposed to mean?” she asks, forgetting she had just confessed to regicide.

“You are not the pathetic little princess I feared you’d become.” He answers with a smirk as he pinned her to the cupboards behind her. “Don’t leave me like that again, kingslayer.”

Part 3 of my EoS ToD tandem reread commentary. Getting to the end of both books so it should be less of a slog now.

-- Yrene pushing Hasar into the pool. Priceless.

-- "I loved you before I ever set eyes on you." SARTAQ!!!!! God, men written by women are just so much better than the real thing.

"' We wait for the Queen of the Valg,' the spider purred, rubbing against the carving. 'Who in this world calls herself Maeve." The fucking SHOCK when I read that the first time. God damn.

-- "' You once asked me where I stand on the line between killing to protect and killing for pleasure.' His fingers grazed the seam of the scar across her abdomen. 'I'll stand on the other side of that line when I find your grandmother.'" DORIAN!!!! FUCK YEAH!

-- Gah, I'm getting confused on what chapters from which book I'm supposed to be reading in which order. And I'm like 85% of the way through both of them.

-- I was right. The Eye is the Lock

-- Hey, Nehemia....

-- It's so funny that all this time Elena has been portrayed as wise and serene. And then we find out she was reckless and short sighted and stupid.

-- "Everything he had done, Aelin had come to rip it apart. Starting with his honor." You did that all by yourself, Chaol. God, get OVER it, you Criston Cole ass bitch.

-- "He only looked toward the dark and smiled. Not broken. Made anew. And when the darkness beheld him...Chaol slid a hand against its cheek. Kissed its brow. It loosened its grip and tumbled back into that pit. Curled up on that rocky floor and quietly, carefully, watched him." What a lovely metaphor.

-- Hell yeah, House Whitethorn

-- Last 100 pages of EoS. Here we fucking go.

-- ABRAXOS AND THE THIRTEEN ARRIVING IN THE NICK OF TIME!!

-- LORCAN, YOU DUMB FUCK

-- "I'll go with you, I'll come with you" ELIDE, YOU BEAUTIFUL SOUL.

-- Aelin being whipped.

-- "Where is my wife?"

-- AEDION, SHUT THE FUCK UP

-- *heavy sigh * That's Eos done. Time to finish ToD.

-- having the Valg be Duva is a fantastic little twist. Sweet, mostly ignored preggo lady.

-- I wonder...will the baby be born fucked up? The Valg was infesting its mother the whole time it was developing in utereo. Will it have been affected?

-- Aelin's self-defense lessons coming through to save Yrene.

-- I think the scar Aelin gave Chaol should have stayed. Maybe that's mean of me but...

-- "I am as much of a man in that chair, or with that cane, as I am standing on my feet." Alright! Chuck that ableism out the window!

-- Oh, shitballs. I forgot that Yrene and Chaol's lives are now tied to each other so that if one dies they both die. Just like Feyre and Rhysand. SJM must think this is suuuuuper romantic. I think otherwise. A suttee is not romantic. Leaving your potential children to deal with suddenly becoming an orphan is not romantic. Leaving your loved ones to mourn not just one but both of you is not romantic.

-- Sometimes she makes it seem like Yrene actually goes INSIDE Chaol or Duva when she's healing them. That can't be right. It's her like...power going inside and fighting what's inside, right? Homegirl does not Magic School Bus her way into the human body. Right?

-- so the fetus is healthy and human. BUT will it be a sociopath or an asshole?

-- Poor Duva. Get her some therapy.

-- I'm so glad Nesryn claimed a ruk

-- Nesryn got a MASSIVE upgrade with Sartaq. And not just because he's the heir to the khaganate. Because he wonderful.

-- SJM like...never writes weddings. They always just get married in some secret ceremony off camera. Very weird.

-- "A gift from a queen who had seen another woman in hell and thought to reach back a hand. With no thought of it ever being returned. A moment of kindness, a tug on a thread..." I hope you feel kind of shitty about all the mean things you said about Aelin, Chaol. She saved your wife.

-- Fireheart. Locked away in the dark.

Well. I don't think I'll do the tandem reread again. But it certainly was a cool experience. A slog, but cool. Onto KoA, destroyer of my heart.

Lake House

female Hughes reader x Cutter Gauthier

Warning: against, fluff, Cursing

word count: 1.6k

let me know what you guys think🤍

My brother Luke invited Cutter to the Lake house this summer, what he didn’t know was that Cutter and I are dating.

I’m a freshman at Boston college, when I first moved there, I met Cutter, he knew who I was since he was friends with Luke. Since I didn’t know anyone at college when I first moved to Boston Cutter and I became friends, the longer we spent time together, the more we started to develop feelings for each other.

Now it was summer, and Cutter and I have been dating for about 5 months, thing is we never told my brothers and now Luke invited Cutter to the lake house for the summer, so we are going to have to tell them that were dating. I just don’t know how they’re going to take it. 

My brothers always invite teammates over during the summer, especially the boys they played with at ntdp, they’ve always been close.

Now it was 7:00 a.m. and my alarm woke me up, Cutter plane was landing at 8:30 a.m. and I told Luke I wanted to go with him to the airport to pick him up. Luke knows we are friends, so he didn’t mind if I went with him. I talked to Cutter last night and we both agreed we would tell Luke on the way back to the lake house.

I put my hair up in a bun and changed into some Black hotty hot high rise Lululemon shorts and my Boston college hoodie. Once I was ready there was a knock on the door.

“Come in” I said.

“You ready to go?” Luke asked when he popped his head in my room. 

“Yeah, let’s go” I said, and we made our way to Luke’s car.

“Are you excited to see Cutter?” I asked Luke, I was curious since I know they haven’t seen each other In a while.

“Yeah, it’s been a while so it’s going to be great to see him again.” He said and I smiled.

Once we got to the airport I saw the Starbucks so I looked at Luke with a smile, I left my wallet at home and I wanted a coffee and breakfast.

“What?” he asked chuckling.

“Can you buy me Starbucks, please? I forgot my wallet at home” he nodded handing me some money.

“Here, get me a coffee same with Cutter if you know his order. Meet me back at the baggage claim, I’m going to go wait for Cutter he should be here any minute.” He said I nodded and made my way to order some coffees and a breakfast sandwich.

Once I got my order, I made my way to Luke he was still waiting for Cutter. 

“Here is your coffee” I said handing him his coffee and the rest of the money.

“Thank you” he said smiling.

“He’s still not here?” I asked.

“No not… oh wait never mind he’s right there” he said pointing to where he saw him.

I turned and saw Cutter making his way to us with his luggage.

I smiled. 

“Hey guys” he said smiling. Luke gave him a bro hug before he came and hugged me.

“I missed you” I whispered in is ear.

“I missed you to” he replied before releasing the hug.

“This is your coffee” I said handing him a coffee. He smiled.

“Thank you” he said smiling.

“Let get back to the house everyone should be awake by now.” Luke said, we nodded and made our way to the car.

My brothers along with Josh, Trevor, Alex, Cole, Rutger, Dylan are the only ones at the house along with Sierra Rutger’s girlfriend. I’m happy she’s here because it means I won’t be the only girl this summer, which is great.

Once Luke started driving, I turned back to look at Cutter, to see if he was okay to tell Luke, I don’t know if now’s the best time is since he’s driving but, better to tell him now then in front of Jack and Quinn, Since I have a feeling Luke is going to be the less angry, he’s less protective than Jack and Quinn.

Cutter nodded so I turned to look at Luke.

“Umm Luke there’s something we need to tell you” I said nervously. He looked at me then at the back mirror to look at Cutter fast before going back to look at the road.

“What is it?” he ask curiously with a smile. Which confused me, does he know already?

“Umm Cutter and I have been dating for the past 4 months.” I said, he looked at me and smirked.

“I figured something was going on between you two… which Is why I didn’t hesitate to invite him to the lake house.”

“So, you’re okay with us?” I asked smiling.

“Yeah, I don’ t mind, Cutter’s a great guy… just good luck telling Jack and Quinn” he said smirking.

“I’m scared to see how they’ll react” I said truthfully.

“Are they going to try and kill me?” Cutter asked nervously. Luke laughed.

“Probably, but I’ve got your back.” Luke told us.

“Thank you” I said smiling.

Once we got back to the house, I helped Cutter bring his stuff to his room. 

Once we were alone, I looked at him and smiled.

“I’m happy you’re here” I said

“I’m happy to be here, I really missed you.” He said wrapping his arms around my waist.

I looked at him smiling before leaning in to kiss him, our lips moved in sync.

“WHAT THE HELL” I heard behind us, I stepped away from Cutter only to see Jack looking at us shocked.

“Jack..” I started but he cut me off.

“No, this can’t be happening… QUINN, LUKE GET IN HERE” Jack yelled. Both of my brothers ran in.

“What’s going on?” Quinn asked worriedly. Luke just stood there smirking.

“I just caught them kissing.” He said angrily.

“I’m sorry, what?” Quinn asked in disbelief.

“Yeah, you two want to explain?” Jack said turning to us.

“Umm… we’re dating” I said shrugging.

“You two dating” Quinn said pointing from me to Cutter before turning to Luke.

“Did you know about this?” he asked Luke.

“Just found out, on the drive home” Luke said.

“How are you so calm about this?” Jack asked.

“Cutter’s a good guy, I know he wouldn’t hurt her, there both happy.” Luke told my brother’s

“Fine, but he better not hurt you” Quinn said.

“What, no I’m not okay with this” Jack said.

“Dude, she’s happy you can’t stand in the way of that” Quinn said.

“I… no… I’m out of here” Jack said in disbelief, before leaving the room.

“Jack…” I tried to go after him, but Quinn stopped me.

“Don’t he need to calm down, don’t worry he’ll come around” Quinn said comforting me. I nodded before going to hug Cutter.

I ended up staying with Cutter for a while in his room to catch up and talk, we ended up cuddling. After a while we ended up falling asleep.

…………….

“Jack come on, there adorable, you can tell he really cares about her” I heard Alex say as I was waking up. when I turned around I saw Alex, Jack, and Cole at the door. 

“Yeah… I guess they are, it’s just she’s growing up so fast” Jack said sadly.

“I’m always going to be your baby sister Jack, but I really Love him” I said surprising the boys.

“Dammit Y/n are you trying to give us a heart attack” Cole said breathing scared.

“Sorry” I said chuckling.

“I love you and I just want you to be happy” Jack told me, smiling softly.

“I am happy” I said smiling. Jack pulled me into a hug.

“I love you Jack” 

“I love you to”

“Cutter, if you ever hurt her, you’re dead” Jack said looking at Cutter.

“I’m not planning on hurting her, I love her” Cutter said, sending me a smile.

“I love you too cutter” I said going to him, and kissing him.

“Okay gross, I might be okay with this now but I don’t want to see any pda” Jack said disgusted before they all left the room, Cutter and I laughed.

“Looks like they are all okay with us being together after all” Cutter said smiling at me.

“I’m glad, cause I don’t know what I would do without you” I said smiling.

“I love you”

“I love you too Cutter” I said before kissing him again.
