Daddy Dearest (Oscar Piastri Dad fic)

Summary- Oscar is a girl dad.

There weren't many people who had Oscar wrapped around their little finger, except Amelia Piastri. Almost 2 years old and she could make Oscar dance like a chicken on the drop of a hat.

Oscar had met Amelia's mother and the love of his life, Y/N when they were in high-school. They started dating soon after. The year Oscar was a reserve driver for Alpine; he might not have been busy racing but he was busy with his girlfriend. The whole Alpine-Mclaren fiasco brought us baby Mia. It was a usual Thursday, Y/N had been stressing out about missing her period for the second time this month when she had regular periods since she could remember. A thought passed through her; it had been floating around in her head since last month. What if she was pregnant? Oscar and her had always been safe; but not a single contraceptive was a hundred percent perfect. So, without informing Oscar, she went to the store and bought a few tests. When the first one said positive, she did another and then another. By now Oscar had become aware of his missing girlfriend who was coup-ed up in their bathroom for the past half hour. He was knocking on the door; "babe, is everything okay? You've been in there since you returned" But when no reply came; the knocking became more rapid and worried. "Y/N, are you ok? Please answer. You're stressing me out" he begged. Then the door opened slightly. A tear stained Y/N was peaking her head out. Oscar pushed the door open and hugged her. He was scanning the room as his girlfriend's body shook slightly; that's when he saw it; pregnancy tests. He pulled away to look at her; "Have you been busy taking those pregnancy test?" he asked. "How do you know what they are?" she hiccuped. "I've watched TV growing up" he smiled. She nodded and handed the 3 tests to him. They all read pregnant in bold letters. Oscar was over joyed; "Are we gonna be parents?" he shouted. "You're not angry?" she asked. "Why would I be? I get to have kids with the love of my life. Best thing that could ever happen to me" he stated. For the first time since she got the tests, she smiled. "Aren't we too young though?" she asked. "Yes, but I could take on the world with you by my side" he said kissing her. "You'll be the best dad ever" she told him. "You'll be the best mum ever" he said. The pair stayed in each other's embrace for a long time. Oscar will never admit it but he cried and then went on reddit to research what to do as a first time dad.

Amelia was born the next year when Oscar was busy racing. He wasn't able to be there for the birth of his daughter; he might have called his mother and cried about being a shitty dad from the get-go. But his father later consoled him and told him it would be fine. Oscar flew out the first chance he got to be with his girlfriend who was being taken care of by both their parents. The first time he held Amelia, he had started crying as soon as she opened her big brown eyes and looked at him. She was an exact copy of him when he was a baby, at least that's what his mother said. Y/N had to console him instead of the baby. He was sat there with his arms wrapped around Y/N who held their daughter for a really long time. Y/N had fallen in love with the name Amelia after watching the Princess Diaries growing up and Oscar wasn't about to argue with Y/N about naming their daughter after the Queen of Genovia. That's how she was named "Amelia Opal Piastri"

Oscar kept them hidden from the world after they had mutually decided not to tell anyone except their close friends and family which some how, had now included Lando Norris, much to Oscar's dismay since his daughter from the moment she could speak called Lando her twin; Oscar hated it, he was just dad or daddy when she wanted something but Lando was her best friend and twin. Lando took great joy in having to be able to steal Amelia away. Lando was helping Oscar move since he'd been staying in Monaco longer and moving with a kid wasn't easy. Mia was being very difficult today until she saw her Uncle Lando and jumped out of Oscar's arms running to Lando. "Lan, I mwiss you" she pouted raising her hands as if to signal him to carry her. Lando quickly scooped her in his arms, kissing her cheeks which elicited giggles. She wrapped her arms around Lando's neck and turned to her dad sticking her tongue out making Oscar pout. "Come here, you're my princess" he whined. "NO. I wan Lan" she said and hugged him tighter as Oscar tried to pull her away. "Oscar, behave. We have a lot of work to do. If Lando can watch over her while we unpack, that'll be great." Y/N said kissing her daughter's cheek and giving Lando a hug. Reluctantly Oscar agreed to let Lando play with her while he got the house unpacked.

While the two unpacked, Lando kept their little princess entertained. "Lan, do you vroom vroom fast?" she asked playing with the race cars she had. "Yeah" he nodded. "my daddy, vroom vroom" she paused for a moment to think, "fast more, win, wohooo" she said jumping up when the Oscar car she was playing with won and Lando's car came in second. Obviously, Mia was growing up watching racing; her dad was a F1 racer. Lando laughed when she jumped up; "Uncle Lando won many races too" he said. "My daddy win 2 races" she said looking at her fingers, counting them and holding up 2. She looked proud of herself for holding the correct number of fingers, Lando was proud too.

All that playing had tired her out; she was now laying on Lando's chest mumbling gibberish about how Leo could fly while he patted her to sleep. Oscar came back to find his daughter peacefully asleep. "I hate that she likes you more than me" Oscar stated watching the two. "Who said that?" Lando tried to control his laugh. "You can see right now" Oscar pointed out. "Mate, she loves you so much. All we talked about was how her daddy is so fast and has won 2 races." he added. Oscar smiled, "I'll put her in her room, we just got done with that" he said slowly taking her to her bed.

The house would take a few more months before they would be able to be done completely. Mia was already enjoying her play dates with Leo and Roscoe. Alex and Leo would be over a few times a week since Mia would pester Alex to come over with Leo. Leo loved Mia so much, the two would always be seen rolling around on the floor or running after each other. They never seem to tire out until they did and then they would be cuddling each other in their sleep on the couch. Roscoe was an older dog and he had seen quite a few children, he kept Mia more tame if that was possible. He would look out for her and protect her from harms way. He was very protective of her; it was very adorable to watch.

During the break, Oscar was spending the 3 weeks with his family. Y/N had been taking the bulk of parenting their 2 year old which did make Oscar feel guilty and he would try to give her as much me time when he was around as possible. "It's time for a daddy-daughter date" Oscar cooed at Mia as he carried her to get dressed. "What does my princess wanna eat today?" he asked plopping her on the changing table. "I want dino and fries and juice and white icey and tuddles" she cheered. She couldn't say Vanilla ice cream yet so it was white icey and cuddles were tuddles which Oscar hoped she wouldn't out grow. Oscar changed her into a pink tutu on her request. The two of them sat on the sofa watching Bluey with their dino nuggets, fries and a juice. Once she was done eating, half the fries were in Oscar's mouth but who was counting; he got out the ice cream and this was the one food item she would not share with anyone. The latest episode they were watching finished up and Mia was cuddling her dad. Oscar rubbed circles on her back to help her fall asleep; "I love you my angel" Oscar whispered kissing her head. "I wuv you my daddy" she whispered kissing his chest. She had seen her mum do this a few times and Oscar's heart swelled up watching her imitate her mum.

Oscar and Y/N were busy setting up another room in their house when Mia found Oscar's phone unlocked. No one knew how she got onto Instagram but she did and ended up taking a picture of her face and posting it as a story. Within minutes Oscar and Y/N's phones were blowing up. Y/N saw messages from her friends and family to check Oscar's story; Oscar had already seen what his daughter did. The next race was gonna be so fun trying to explain who that was.

The driver's group chat was going crazy, they couldn't stop laughing about how Mia posted herself. The other drivers joked that she was sick of not being able to attend races so she decided to hard launch herself. McLaren's PR team was making a story up which Oscar shut down quickly. He had been dating Y/N for a long time and had a family with her, he wasn't about spin some shitty tale about it being someone else's daughter. This was the final push that Oscar needed to strike the iron when it was hot. Oscar would propose now; the ring he had bought was burning a hole in his pants for a while now.

lesson in words | s.r. x pregnant!fem reader

for some reason today, annabeth was not in the mood for her princess dresses or jelly shoes. she raised her voice when you were shuffling around her room, trying to find something appropriate for the aquarium. she didn’t want her sage green pants, or her lavender plaid shorts, not even her scratchy sparkling pink skirt.

“i want these!” kicking her legs in the air to indicate her unicorn pajama pants. you just sighed, not wanting to indulge her antics, “honey, those are house clothes. you sleep in those for a long time, they’re not appropriate for a day out. now, what’s our second choice?” leaning against her dresser with a fist beside your growing bump.

“unicorn! i want unicorn!” she jumped her body against her mattress, the springs creaking. a headache brewing behind your eyes, “annabeth diana reid,” you kept your voice stern and level, “if you can’t pick out day clothes then we can’t go to the aquarium. that means you can’t see the stingrays for another month.”

she pouted as she crossed her small arms over her chest, her hectic bed head another part you’ll have to deal with. “i hate you,” she said it mostly quiet, probably meant to be a whisper but doesn’t understand how that works yet.

you pursed your lips while diverting your eyes to the floor, “well i’m sorry you feel that way, but if you can’t fix your attitude and change your clothes then you can stay in your room for the day.” leaving your daughter behind as you headed to your shared bedroom where your husband was tidying the space.

he turned when you stepped on a specific creaky spot, he greeted you with a smile that dropped when you assumed he saw your upset pout and wet eyes. “what’s wrong?” quick to hurry at your side with his hands caressing your elbows.

“hormones mostly,” sniffling, “and annabeth has decided to be stubborn today and says she hates me cause i won’t allow her to wear her pjs out the house.” spilling what happen in the last five minutes as fat tears collected on your lash line, one blink and they slid down your pregnancy cheeks.

“oh honey,” spencer leaned your head into his chest, neglected nails curling into his navy polo. one of his hands slid along the back of your head to keep you hidden while his other rubbed soothing circles between your shoulder blades. “she doesn’t actually mean it.”

“i know i know,” you sniffled as you moved to place your ear to his heart, “just hurts having her say those words. she probably doesn’t understand the extent of its meaning.” taking a deep sigh as you gathered yourself to lean away from spencer.

“why don’t i go talk to her? try from a different perspective.” his warm palms rubbed at your upper arms as he stared softly into your wet eyes.

you sniffled, “she is a daddy’s girl. listens to you more no matter what.” chuckling wetly when spencer just shrugged. he pecked a kiss to your forehead and guided you to the made bed, telling you to rest for now as he went to talk with your four year old.

spencer knocked gentle on her cracked door, “can i come in?” both of you were making sure to teach the importance of knocking before entering a room. she almost caught the act of making her new siblings.

“yes,” she replied quietly. spencer slowly pushed open her decorated door, his head peaking in first before completely entering and closing them in.

his daughter lay in her bed, her flower comforter swallowing her. only a small lump shifting gave away her hiding spot, spencer took a seat at the foot of her twin.

he gave what felt like her calf a loving squeeze, “wanna come out and talk?” her small heel nudged into his knee, “no.” spencer could hear her pout.

“why not?” “cause i-i-i was a meanie to-to mommy,” annabeth began to hiccup through her words. spencer quickly pulled her sheets back and frowned at her rosy wet cheeks, along with a line of snot leaving her tiny nose.

“oh honey, come here.” spencer wrapped his arms behind her back as she threw hers around his neck. she crawled into his lap, her small legs stopping at his hips. “do we feel bad about our earlier emotions?” spencer rubbed a large palm in soothing circles.

“ye- yes. i-i want to see sti- stingrays, and i-i want to match with mo- my mommy.” her words a blubbering mess as she panicked over something small for the adults but other worldly for her child mind.

spencer cooed in her ear, “why don’t we go apologize first. see if she’ll accept.” he felt annabeth nod in agreement. he carried her the short distance to the master bedroom where you were laying on your back as your palms rubbed your stomach and you stared at the ceiling.

you turned your head at a small knock, your face softening at the sight before you. “someone has something to say,” spencer said as he let annabeth’s feet sit on the bed.

the young girl untangled from her father’s hold and slowly walked to sit beside you. you could hear her ragged inhales and frowned at her flushed face. “i- i- i am sorry for ye- yelling. i want to go to aquarium and you- you can help dress me, mo- mommy.” her tiny hands pulled at the helm of her sleep shirt.

you let a palm caress her warm cheek, “i was a little hurt when you said you hate me,” wanting to be truthful to your brilliant child.

her lip wobbled, “i- i didn’t mean it. i lo- love you with my whole body.” something you say to her to show your complete extent of affections. “i heard that it was an unkind word, i- i re- regret saying it.”

“i know you do, honey.” pulling her into your chest for an awkward side hug. “let’s be mindful of our words, alright? they’re very powerful.” petting down her hair, you felt her nod on your shoulder.

“are my two girls friends again?” spencer spoke up during the moment. he stayed near the edge of the room to give the both of you space.

you pressed a kiss into annabeth’s temple, “i think so. what about you bethie, do you want to wear matching overalls today?”

her eyes peeked at your through clumped lashes, “can- can we also do bows?”

you squeezed her side, “of course, bethie-boo.”

Wifey’s reaction to the pro bowl content? 👀👀

This is a little sneak peak into her and Taylor Rooks Podcast The Woman Cave

You and Taylor were sitting across from one another filming yet another episode for the podcast you both share when the conversation started going into the direction of the pro bowl and she quickly asked you about your husband.

“I see your other half actually went to the pro bowl this year? And participated!?” Taylor said as if she was surprised.

Because she low key knew how he was.

“Yes, he actually went but it did take a lot of convincing. He changed his mind about fifty times. After the season ends, that man stays up under me. Not that I mind, but I'm convinced if he could find a way to actually attach himself to me or crawl into my skin, he would.” You told her as you laughed when you thought about how Joe barely let you do anything by yourself when you both were home.

“And apparently doesn't like mascots?”

With this came the most intense eye roll followed by you shaking your head.

“He is literally such a diva and so dramatic. And he is definitely going to get me for saying that, but Wifey Shiesty said what she said. When I heard his mic’d up clip saying that he tells the Bengals mascot to get away from him, I lost it.”

“That actually doesn't surprise me. But it seemed like he didn't get a lot of time for his portion in the skills part on Thursday.”

“That's why I should have done the trivia because I knew every single answer and he would have won. No shade to Jared obviously. But Ja'Marr always would laugh at me and say that I know his playbook better than he did as well as players stats across every team in the NFL and I still do.”

“Which a lot of people tend to be surprised by.”

“I think that people don't realize that more women actually watch football than men do and we actually know what we're talking about. Some of them are intimidated because we end up knowing more than they do.” You told her and she quickly nodded as she agreed with you.

“Did his answer change once he knew your twin was going?”

You couldn't help but to roll your eyes and smirk.

“Of course it did. Those two together usually send my stress levels through the roof. But they look out for one another and have done that since they were both at LSU and I know it's going to always be that way. I'm definitely grateful for that.”

As soon as the last word left your mouth, you let out a yelp from being startled by Joe's arms wrapping around you, picking you up and him sitting down where you were while placing you onto his lap. His hands protectively went over your baby bump and leaned over to kiss your cheek.

“Hello to you too, husband. Aren't you supposed to be with my twin and Justin!? See what I mean Tay?” You said as Taylor was laughing at the two of you.

“I heard you were talking about me so I figured that I should come pay a visit.” Joe told the both of you as Taylor smiled at him.

“Well, while I have you here….” She started to say as Joe nodded.

“You're my favorite interviewer besides this one right here so go for it.”

“How would you describe your feelings about this season overall?”

“Hmm, speaking from an individual standpoint, I'm happy with the numbers that I put up this year coming back from an injury. Overall, it's disappointing that we didn't make the playoffs but just have to do certain things to keep certain people and I know the front office will make that happen so we can all continue to play together.”

“Yes, put the pressure on them. Now, I remember when you signed your record breaking contract. Are you willing to negotiate in order to keep certain people in Cincinnati?”

“Absolutely without a doubt. Might have to pick up a part time job to make up the difference because my wife is expensive though. You two hiring?”

“Just for THAT comment, absolutely NOT. Your resume is going in the trash. And it's called The Woman Cave, not The Woman Cave plus Joe Burrow.” You told him as you pouted and crossed your arms across your chest.

“And you call me the dramatic one?” Joe asked and you tried to scoot away from him, but failed miserably.

“Ever since I met the two of you, I knew that you were made for each other. Now let me ask you this, NFL Honors?”

“I know I'm not winning MVP…”

“But he's definitely MVP in my eyes.”

Joe had a small smile on his face before continuing.

“But I'll still go and show my face. Always love going down there. It's like a family reunion with my LSU family and with my wife's family.”

“And who are you predicting will win the big game on Sunday?”

“I hope they both lose. But if I HAD to pick, definitely going with Jalen.”

“NOT you saying you hope they both lose. Babe, it doesn't work like that.” You told him as he shrugged.

“I'm using one of your lines, I said what I said.”

“You've definitely been around me too long.”

David and Michael talk about the S2 Finale 🥺

David and Michael interview with Kim Roots from TVLine, about the S2 finale. July 2023 [S2 Promo: C: I could always rely on you. You could always rely on me. We're a team, a grou p. And we spend our existence pretending that we aren't.]

KR: What happens in the finale between Crowley and Aziraphale is something that some fans have been yearning for a very long time. Was there a pressure? Did you have any conversations about what this might mean to the fandom? Talk to me a little bit about like when you found out this was going to happen and kind of your initial reactions.

Michael: Well, you know, the relationship between Aziraphale and Crowley, obviously, is something that the audience seemed to really warm to, and obviously was part of why the idea of doing Season 2, you know, seemed like it could be something that could work. Following how that relationship develops has been something that the audiences have really got into. So we've taken that very seriously, and Neil takes it incredibly seriously. So tracking that relationship and that journey between them, because obviously on the surface, they seem like they're complete opposites, and yet clearly, they're kind of compelled towards each other in all kinds of ways. And now that they've been being cut off from their respective head offices, they only have each other, so that pulls them together a lot more, doesn't it? And the stakes are always high around them, and they sort of end up going on a journey together, but it takes them to different places and where we leave things at the end..

David: Well, that's the thing. Nothing is resolved. So whatever happens and whatever you may have seen at the end of Episode 6, it's also important to note that that doesn't finish the story. In fact, that just sor of ruptures things.

Michael: It's the start of another story.

[S2 Promo: A: I forgive. C: Don't bother.]

David:I think you have to be careful if there is something delicate that has generated a lot of excitement about where will that end up. As soon as you end up there, as soon as you finish that story, it's all over, isn't it?

Michael: You don't really want to find out who killed Laura Palmer. [Twin Peaks series plot]

David: Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

KR Like you said, David, there is no resolution, which made me very happy because this feels primed for a third go-around at some point. Have you had any conversations about that with Neil about possibly keeping the story going?

David: Well, if you've seen where Series 2 ends, there's certainly the teasing of further tales to come, isn't there? Whether we will ever find out what those tales are is in the lap of... well, certainly not on our lap.

Michael: No, it's on the laps of the audience.

David: Laps of the audience, yes.

Michael: We are sitting firmly...

David: In the tops of the audience as it streaming.

Michael: Yeah, it's not in my lap. I know that. When we first started Series 1, we always knew that the story went a lot further because Neil and Terry had talked about it. They just hadn't written it down, but we knew there were ideas, and we have not yet reached the end of those ideas.

David: No.

Michael: You know, if we get a chance to tell more of this story, it does already exist.

David: Yes.

5:44 PM — SUGURU GETOU

+ dad suguru au, the twins are 7 — fluff

“do you like it?” mimiko’s small voice is echoed through the living room, and at first you weren’t sure how to react.

“um..” you tried to force a genuine smile and nod, but the girl’s short black hair was tied back in a way where nearly all of it was slipping from the scrunchie. you weren’t really sure how much of her hair had been in it in the first place.

“dad did it.” nanako peaked around her sister and a single glance at the young girl’s hair had you covering your mouth in fear you’d burst out laughing.

her long hair was twisted in a way that could’ve maybe been braids, but there were far too many strands in each one. it looked like a tangled mess.

“did he?” you smiled behind your hand, still trying to not laugh at the twins standing in front of you.

“yes he did.”

your attention moved to suguru who you hadn’t noticed yet. trying to keep a serious face you looked between the twins, who were hanging off each other, and him.

“it’s nice..” that was incredibly unconvincing and you knew it. he narrowed his eyes at you as if trying to decipher what you truly wanted to say.

“girls, why don’t you both go get dressed?” suguru squatted in front of the twins, a gentle smile on his face as he looked at them. one that greatly differed the calculated stare he gave you before.

“but y/n is hereee” nanako whined immediately and for the first time since you’d entered suguru’s home you laughed at the girls.

“i’ll still be here when you’re done changing.” you moved next to suguru, bending down in front of the twins girls yourself now. they stared at you, nanako with her arms crossed and mimiko with a dramatic pout. “okay, let’s make it a race. first one to come back out fully dressed can sit next to me on the train”

“you promise?” mimiko asked, her voice still just as excited as when you first entered the house.

“promise.”

with that, the girls took off down the hall towards their shared room and you could hear muffled giggling.

“suguru..” trailing off, you looked at the man next to you beyond amused. finally able to process the mess of hair the twins had before. “tell me you weren’t going to let them leave like that.”

“like what?” he grinned, feigning ignorance and it had you rolling your eyes.

“you do your own hair, how in the world did theirs end up like that?”

“they get too excited when i do their hair,” suguru’s voice was under laced with a whine as he moved into you. arms wrapping around your waist, he rested his chin on your shoulder and you leaned into his chest “they like it when you do their hair anyway.”

“mhm, sure.” you let him hold you like that for a moment, enjoying the closeness between you before you turned to face him. “you just want me to fix it.”

“maybe…” his lips pulled back in a small grin and before you could speak again he kissed you softly. you could’ve cursed him out for that, because all the stubbornness that made you want him to fix their hair himself melted from your body.

“you’re cruel.”

before suguru could say anything else, nanako came clambering down the hall. she was surprisingly in a fully finished outfit that some what matched.

“i’m first!” she called out, panting just a little as if she’d just exerted all her energy getting dressed.

“nooo!” mimiko ran out just moments after her, throwing her hands up in the air and falling to the floor. “no fair, nana!”

“it is fair!” nanako turned to her, pointing her finger in her face. her other hand resting in her hip and it made you chuckle at how sassy the girl was. “i was first, i get to sit next to y/n!”

“nuh uh-“

“heyyy,” you bent down next to the frisk girls again, smiling softly at them wanting to diffuse the growing tantrums between them. “nanako won the race, but what i’d i said both of you could sit next to me? who says i have to sit next to your dad? he can stand”

the girls’ laughter at your words made your chest grow warm, until your eyes moved to their hair once more.

“hm, but before we leave. how about i teach your dad how to properly do your hair?”

you grinned up at suguru who had the faintest bit of pink painted on his cheeks at your comment. he sighed and crossed his arms over his chest similarly to how nanako did before, you had to force yourself to not laugh.

“c’mon, suguru. don’t pout.” you teased him as you stood up, resting your hand on his arm and leaned into him. suguru’s pout broke into a smile as he stared at you.

“ewwww!” the soft moment between the two of you was shattered by the twins yelling unison. suguru shook his head and sighed, turning his attention to the girls.

“shhh, hurry to the bathroom. y/n’s going to make you girls look pretty.”

Screaming without anyone harming you is kind of embarrassing

You jump all the sudden only for Taylor apologize "oh no need to apologize, sorry i zone out, what are you saying again?"

"oh just introducing them let's start again this is Logan fields the genius of our group friend" she said pointing at the blonde boy with glasses

"and that is Aiden the uh? Hmm the insane one of our group" he yelled a 'hey' making everyone giggle

"and that is Ben the tall one of our friend, Aiden and him are cousins" Ben waved at you and you wave back

"and that is Ashlyn the quite one sorry not sorry" she shrugged it off and just said hi raising her hand

"and last this is-" "oh yeah i remember him being in the baseball club right?" She nodded and telling you their twins

"so that's why you two look alike"

-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-

When on that night you were in a different room all by yourself when you heard a banging you woke up the sky is red you looked out of the window seeing there's already the black monster it bang its head on the window and you search the room you were shock when you saw a machete

'weird but okay?!'

You swing it in its head and they died

You ran into the bathroom wishing this wasn't real you remember you have your phone on the bed

You cursed why didn't you didn't think to get it first

You open the door looking if there is anyone you quickly snatch your phone and went back in the bathroom you tried calling someone but there are no service

'of course there isn't, am i now in the horror movie ' you thought as you look at the time 12:00 for you it was passed by minutes now yet the clock was still 12:00

This made you cry with fear you tried calling for someone out and you just noticed you have a bleeding arm, you remember that from earlier you look for a wrapping bandaid

Once you find on you wrap it

'i knew it i was scratch!'

That's when you felt your body being pulled

You woke up gasping, you look out of the window and regretting it when a bright light came to your face you closed it immediately

They're are many thoughts on your mind but glad that it was a dream, while thinking that you felt something coming out of your throat

After all that vomiting you still felt sick

You kept vomiting then vomiting so you went home, you ask your teacher permission and he agree

-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-

Present time

By the time you made friends with the six but you came more close to Barron

He was sweet and caring and he asked if you could help him do his assignments and you agree only regretting it

"hey Barron i thought im gonna help you but instead you kept playing baseball" you said looking frustrated and scared at the same time

"oh sorry but can you do my assignment i never had baseball before cause my mom always wanted me to study" he looks at you smiling, you only nodded and went to do his assignment and he added his friends assignments too

But day after day he started to get violent kicking you, Punching your gut, beating you up

You didn't dare to confront him you were to scared of him

.

You were at the arcade like Barron said you were meeting up there

"hey (name)! It's nice to see you again after weeks, how come i don't see you around" you saw Taylor and his twin Tyler i mean

You were about to speak up but Barron already pulled you away making tyler glare at him

"heyy (name) who's you're friends" Barron glared back

Then you notice Logan looking worried at you and mouthing 'are you okay?'

"oh i.. i i just met them on the camping, its nice seeing you again you wave goodbye as Barron lay an arm around you

"they're not okay" Logan said looking at everyone then you

Ben might not know you but he was mad whenever he saw someone encounter with Barron

But when they got there you were no where to be seen

-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-

They were now in the phantom realm Logan was at the top of the wall looking out

Ashlyn suddenly said "hey Logan how many phantom are there they kept getting louder"

When Logan looked with his sniper he can see a group of phantom chasing someone

"there's someone there running!" "Someone? Quick put the light on the direction it might be another person!" Ashlyn said as they all climb up because of curiosity but Ashlyn went out to grab you

When Logan put the light he can see a person when all the phantom became a slime you look at the light seeing someone you were happy that you're not alone anymore

Then you felt a hand grab you and ran towards the wall

Once you got inside the wall you Taylor and ben and Logan, Ashlyn and....tyler

'stop with your thoughts (name) its not healthy

.

"how did you get here, how long have you been here, when did you get here"

"calm down Taylor don't ask them many questions" Tyler said as he look at you then looked away

"I got here ever since the field trip then I had a dream well... Now I know it's not a dream then woke up vomiting and this been happening for a few weeks now "

They also explain that's what happened to them

"okay okay now thats done what the hell does Barron have to do to you?" Tyler said changing the topic you let out a small 'oh' before being silent

Logan sigh and look at you "Barron also force me to do his homework and violently beat me up" when you heard that from him you started to open up to them

"just letting you know if Barron came to you again I'll beat the shit out of him" you started to feel the warmth of your cheeks when you heard what tyler said

Who would've thought you would fall for him even though he doesn't know you

-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-

"woah you use machete" Aiden said with a big grin on his face

"well yeah i found this on the room where we slept while having the field trip, weird they have this things"

Ben tapped you then showing you a board "hey (name) question how did you survive these weeks?! I mean you didn't have any light"

"oh! Well we have a Bunker and I hid there with these torche but when im running out of food i decided to run in a market nearby but none was there only finding those creatures and your light lead me here" you explain to them

"but did you know in the human realm you can put anything, anywhere and it will be on the phantom realm like those lights, before we don't have those but them we figured out we can transfer anything in the phantom realm by being in the human realm" you only nodded but still couldn't catch up to what his saying but you get what he was saying

"okay okay how about we get some rest for now, and here eat you said you ran out earlier you must've hungry" tyler said giving you a snack

"whoa this is not like you tyler, where's a grumpy old Tyler" Tyler glared at him like there was flaming fire around him

-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-

You all are quiet while you ate the snack you thank Tyler for it

This tiny things can make your heart jump you were inlove with him but now being this close you were every much now falling and falling inlove

-

The next day you we're getting pinned by the wall because you forgot to do his homework and so as your homework

"seriously are you really that dumb?! It was an easy task and you couldn't do it?!"

Barron kicked you gut and you fell on the ground

"if it was an easy task why can't you do it?" You heard a familiar voice you knew that voice, you love that voice

"If it isn't prince charming what your gonna save your helpless s/o" they all laugh as Barron did too you grunt in pain holding your stomach

Tyler saw you then quickly get blocked by Barron when Tyler was about to punch him a teacher appeared out of nowhere making them run

Tyler didn't care he was worried about your situation right now he asked if your okay, you nodded and look at him if you were and emoji you could've have been the emoji with heart eyes

"from now on your sticking with us, were gonna protect you from that maniac like we protected Logan from him" you smiled at him and lead you to the group

-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-

It was months now you were officially their friends

You suddenly didn't regret going to the field trip thought you regret being in the phantom realm but you were also glad you have them

You've been hangout most of the time with the twin their mom loves your company aswell

-

"oh hey ty-ty" you said when he sat down next to you

"congrats its been months your now our officially friend" heh right friends...

You two sat there in a comfortable silent while in the background there was a chaos you laugh when Ben suddenly went flying on the spinning thingy

"hey.. i know we don't know each other much but.. nevermind"

"no go on im listening"

" we were classmate ever since grade 6 and we aren't close but ever since we became grade 8 i suddenly catch feelings for you... Even now" you were shock at his words he fell for you ever since grade 8 while you fell for him at first sight

When you were silent Tyler stand up "sorry I just ruined our friendship we just started and I already ruined it im-"

"no.. no Tyler im.. i accepted your confession though i already fall for you ever since grade 6" you grabbed his hand then he sat back again

"really?..." Another silent was made but then tyler held your hand " so does this mean we're you know... Together?" "Well i guess yes" you giggled at him

When his face started to get close you closed your eyes when your foreheads was at each other Aiden suddenly shout

"GET A ROOM"

"SHUT UP!!"

This story doesn't make sense but I hope you liked it🙏🏻

The Meeting

Wanda Maximoff x Female Reader

When you meet a fellow mom at the PTO meeting, you soon realize just how much love she needs

Warnings: Smut! 18+ please! Kissing, fingering, oral (W receiving), mommy kink, general fluff at some parts

Note: I just woke up thinking about milf Wanda lol. Follow my library blog @togrowoldinvlibrary for updates! Enjoy!

Wanda Maximoff Masterlist, Main Masterlist

Your hands shake with nerves as you enter the school. You’re not one for group events, but your daughter’s teacher had asked you personally to help with this year’s spring events. You couldn’t say no.

You follow the other parents to the sign in table. Recognizing a couple of the parents, you smile at them and have some small talk as you sign your name.

And then you see her. A mom who’s new to the town, and everyone is curious about.

She sits next to you. You figure it would be impolite not to introduce yourself.

“Hey I’m y/n,” you say, holding out your hand for the woman to shake.

She turns to you. You could get lost in those eyes.

“Wanda,” she supplies simply. She shakes your hand gently.

Before you can ask her any questions, the meeting starts. Pepper Potts leads the conversation and explains that you’ll be divided into teams for the process.

You’re uneasy at the idea, but when she pairs you and Wanda as a team your curiosity is peaked.

The meeting comes to an end and it’s time to talk to your partners to make schedule arrangements.

“So, we can meet here on whatever night works best for you,” you start the conversation with Wanda.

“The boys keep me pretty busy,” Wanda explains.

“Boys?”

“Yes, I have twins,” she clarifies.

“Oh wow. I thought one was exhausting,” you say. Wanda laughs a little at that. “We can meet anywhere at anytime. I’m open as long as I have time to get a sitter.”

“Would you mind if we did it my house?” Wanda asks. “I have to wait for my husband to drive to me places and it’s just easier if-“

“Sounds perfect,” you cut her off. You didn’t need to know anymore than that about her husband. “Just text me your address.”

You hand her your phone to put her number in and shoot her a quick text that it’s you. With a quick goodbye, you and Wanda go separate ways. She texts you the next morning with her address and the time to be there.

The first time going there you were nervous. You didn’t know anything about Wanda other than her first name. Every week you learn more about her and start feeling yourself really drawn to her.

Today when you show up at Wanda’s, she answers the door wearing her best dress. But her eyes are sad.

“Hey Wanda. You look nice,” you tell her. “I was supposed to come here tonight, yeah?”

“Yeah, come in,” she replies.

You walk in and sit your stuff down on the couch like usual. Wanda sits next to you, but her focus is on her phone.

“Is everything okay?” You ask her.

Wanda drops her phone onto the couch and turns to you.

“He isn’t coming home tonight. It’s our anniversary and he isn’t coming home,” she says. She starts crying.

You move closer to her and wrap an arm around her shoulder. She leans into you and cries into your chest.

“I’ve got you, Wanda,” you say. “I know how hard this is.”

“You do?” She asks through her tears.

“I do. I went through the same thing. Hence why I’m a single parent now,” you explain.

“I didn’t know. You always seem to have it together,” Wanda says.

“Yeah well, truly I don’t. But that’s alright.”

You wipe Wanda’s tears from her face with one hand and rub your hand over her back with the other.

Wanda’s tears begin to subside. She shifts in your arms and is now inches from your face.

“Wanda,” you whisper just before she leans forward and kisses your lips.

You can’t help but kiss her back. She’s so beautiful and so deserving of soft love. After a few minutes of kissing, Wanda seems to realize what’s happening and she pulls away a little.

“I’m sorry,” she says, her breath hits your lips.

“Wanda, when is the last time someone kissed you like this?” You ask her.

“I don’t know.”

You run your hand through her hair and Wanda’s eyes close in comfort.

“Can I kiss you again?” You ask. She nods. “I need to hear you say it, baby.”

“Yes, please, yes,” she breathes out.

At her words, you kiss her deeply. She melts against you. You pull her into your lap, and kiss her neck. Wanda moans and moves her hips as you pay attention to the soft skin of her neck.

“Bite me,” she mumbles. You grin against her neck and do as she asks.

You pull away and look at her. She’s so beautiful.

“Wanda, you’re so gorgeous,” you tell her.

The smile she has on her face makes your heart swell. You lift up her dress over her hips to reveal red lacy panties.

“Fuck, Wanda.”

You run a finger over her panties and feel her wetness. She grinds against your finger and you take that as a sign to slip her panties to the side.

“Oh god,” Wanda moans.

“Be good for me, baby,” you say. “Already so wet for me.” You run your fingers over her folds and slip them into her.

She rides your fingers as you continue to kiss anywhere you can reach on her body. It’s not long before Wanda’s hip movements become erratic.

“Come for me, Wanda,” you say.

“Fuck,” she moans as she coats your fingers.

You work her down from her high. And she falls against your shoulder. You kiss her temple and she smiles against you.

“Are you okay, sweetheart?” You ask her.

“I haven’t felt this good in so long,” Wanda replies. She kisses your neck. You hold her tighter against you.

“You deserve to always feel this good.”

Wanda shifts in your arms to look at you again. You kiss her and reach behind her to unzip her dress. She stands up and the dress along with her panties fall to the floor.

You take in the sight of her standing there with nothing on.

“My god, you’re so beautiful,” you tell her.

She smirks and reaches her hand out for you to take. You smile and take it. Wanda pulls you off of the couch and into her bedroom.

You kiss her as she falls back onto the bed. This time you bring your lips to her nipples and suck them.

“You feel so good,” Wanda says. Her hands push you further into her chest.

“All for you, mommy,” the word slips from your lips. You stop sucking on her due to the feeling a little embarrassed. But Wanda doesn’t let you hesitate for long.

“Mommy needs you,” she says. The term makes you both so amped up and ready.

“I’ll take care of you, mommy,” you say. You move down her body and drop kisses along the way.

You lick her folds and she makes beautiful sounds. Taking her clit in your mouth, you bring her close almost immediately. She definitely hasn’t been touched like this in a long time, if ever.

“Fuck baby,” Wanda says.

“Come for me, mommy,” you say against her.

And she does. You wish you could remember the sounds she makes for the rest of your life. So beautiful, so pleasant.

You clean her up and move up to lay next to her. Wanda kisses you in a way that feels like she’s thanking you for helping her feel so good.

“I’m so glad I met you, Wands,” you say.

“I’m glad I met you too, y/n,” she says. She moves to straddle your waist and slips her hands under your shirt. “It’s your turn now, baby.”

You smile and let Wanda start to undress you.

You are so glad you went to that PTO meeting.

Wanda Maximoff is the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen.

And here she is above you, making you feel so good.

[lorelaiblair]

The first time Enid Sinclair ever visited the Weathervane it was on a “double date” from hell.

Bianca’s relationship with Xavier was hanging on by a thread, she thought that maybe hanging out in a group setting would help mend some of the cracks in their relationship.

It didn’t really make sense to Enid, if a relationship was in trouble shouldn’t it be a conversation between the people in said relationship?

Anyways, Enid didn’t blame Bianca, she was scared and becoming desperate. Enid was going to be there to support her no matter what happened.

Even if that meant going on a double date with her ex, one of her best friends, and her friend’s boyfriend who she really disliked.

They walked into the small coffee shop, Ajax holding the door open for the rest of them.

“Thank you” Enid smiled

“All in a gentleman’s work” He grinned

Xavier settled into a booth in the corner and Bianca slid in beside him. It was almost awkward how they sat, everything about their body language tense and awkward.

Enid and Ajax mirrored them, but it was much more natural and relaxed. They were always better as friends, supporting and loving each other in a way that they could never seem to get right when they were trying to force a relationship.

Enid’s knee knocked against his and he grinned at her.

“How is rave’n planning going?” He asked her

“Stressful” Enid laughed, burying her face in her hands on the table. “There’s so much we still need to get done and so little time to do it”

“Did I tell you that the DJ finally got back to me?” Bianca asked

“Yeah?” Enid grinned, looking back up at her.

“Yeah” Bianca nodded with a teasing smile.

“And? What did he say?”

“Yes, he’s going to be there”

“Oh my god” Enid grabbed Bianca’s hand and squeezed in excitement “Why didn’t you tell me sooner!”

“I wanted to see your face” She smiled

“I am so excited” Enid said as she bounced in her seat

“Is he a big deal?” Ajax asked

“The biggest. He’s hoste-“ Enid stopped as a young woman began walking toward their table. She was dressed in all black and her dark hair tied in twin braids. She stopped to stand in front of their table and on her face was a look that said she couldn’t be more disinterested.

She was the most beautiful person Enid had ever seen. Her words were caught in her throat and her breath in her lungs.

“What are your orders?” The girl asked, her tone flat but her voice sounding like the sweetest honey.

“We haven’t had a chance to look at the menu yet” Bianca said kindly. The girl, Wednesday, said the name tag pinned to her dress, turned and walked away without another word. Bianca made a face, as if asking ‘can you believe that’?

Enid became painfully aware of herself. Staring at their waitress like a crazy person. She looked away quickly, grabbing her menu as a way to busy herself and not look as awkward as she felt.

Xavier didn’t have the same decency. Bianca scoffed and scooted even further away from him.

“Are you serious” She asked

“What?” Xavier asked, the first words he had said since they walked into the diner and it was to pretend as if he hadn’t been blatantly checking out their waitress while he was on a date.

“Oh my god, Xavier” Bianca scoffed, picking up her own menu, an attempt to hide just like Enid’s had been.

The silence was awkward, other customers around the room chatted and there was a sound of the coffee machines humming but everyone at this table with Enid promptly avoided speaking more. Xavier had taken his phone back out, at least he wasn’t staring anymore.

Enid had a hard time deciding what she wanted, they had so many things to choose from and Enid had always been bad at making choices. She sat the menu down and looked out the window, the sky was painted in a mural of pinks and purples and the moon was starting to peak over the horizon.

She took out her own phone to quickly snap a picture. It was beautiful, nowhere near as beautiful as the waitress.

Enid cursed herself. She felt like she was no better than Xavier, and since when had Enid even been attracted to girls?

Her eyes caught black hair again, the waitress, Wednesday if the name tag was anything to go by, was at a small table across the diner talking to the people who sat there. The unimpressed look never left her face, and honestly she was starting to look annoyed at the old woman who was speaking to her.

Enid looked down at the table, the wooden pattern of it suddenly incredibly interesting.

She realized that it made sense, being attracted to girls. It made more sense than Enid even wanted to think about right now.

The realization felt kind of freeing though. It was terrifying, but a piece of herself clicked into place.

Someone cleared their throat and Enid’s gaze snapped back up, right to Wednesday’s face. She had the darkest brown eyes rimmed with black eyeliner.

“Are we good?” Ajax asked

“Yeah” Bianca said, Enid nodded her head not trusting her voice to work and Xavier hummed.

“Okay. Ready?” Ajax asked, Wednesday blinked and he took that as an answer “I’ll take an americano and an breakfast sandwich on an english muffin”

“A cappuccino and a croissant” Bianca asked

“Another americano and a panini” Xavier said, which left it to be Enid’s turn. Wednesday hadn’t really looked at any of them, instead sort of looking into space as they spoke, but then Enid felt the girl’s eyes on her.

“Uhh” Enid smiled softly “An iced caramel latte with extra caramel and a blueberry muffin”

Wednesday didn’t respond verbally, but when Enid asked for extra caramel her eye’s crinkled slightly. That was the only sign that the girl had even been listening. She walked off again without a word, going behind the counter to probably get started on their things.

“She’s kind of scary, right?” Ajax asked with a quiet voice.

“I think it’s rude” Bianca said, was it bad that Enid found her endearing?

“She looks like the type of person who would enjoy witnessing a murder” He said

“Or committing one” Bianca added

“I’m sure she’s nice” Xavier said, Enid couldn’t help but glare. She hated he had been the one to say it. Bianca was quiet but Enid could tell she was furious.

“What were you saying earlier, about the DJ, Enid?” Ajax asked, his attempt to change the conversation was obvious.

“He’s just really popular” Enid said “And hard to book, we asked him like forever ago”

“Two months” Bianca clarified

“A long time to not be texted back” Enid argued, Ajax shook his head fondly.

“You’re crazy” He smiled

“I’m just really excited for this dance. It’s our first rave’n as senior’s and being in charge is so stressful. Figuring out the music and stuff took a lot off of my shoulders though, Bianca, thank you again”

“You’ve already thanked me countless times”

“Which is why I said again” Enid told her

“Well, you’re welcome” Bianca smiled “But really it wasn’t a big deal, if you need anymore help with anything just let me know”

“Okay. Are you going shopping with Yoko, Divina, and I next weekend?” Enid grinned

“I wouldn't miss it for anything” She nodded

“I have no idea what i’m going to wear yet” Ajax said

“A hoodie and pants that slightly match the theme?” Xavier asked, Ajax smiled and nodded.

“Like last year” He said

“And the year before that” Enid added, as she spoke Wednesday joined them again. A black tray in her hand, using the other hands to set things down.

“It’s hot” She said as she sat the muffin in front of Enid, even though she was holding it with her bare hand.

“Why are you touching it then?” Enid couldn’t help but ask.

“I’m not affected by such things” Wednesday said, her dark eyes meeting Enid’s, a spark in them that Enid hadn’t seen before. Was it mischief? Intrigue?

Enid wanted to know. She wanted to know everything about this strange girl.

Wednesday sat the last drink down and spun the tray around in her hands to hold it at her side. She went to walk away again, Bianca didn’t let her go very far.

“Are you not even going to ask if you got the order right, if we need anything else?” She asked

“I always get it right” Wednesday said, not even turning back to face them as she kept walking.

Bianca scoffed again, lifting her cup and blowing at the steam.

Ellis Twilight: Chapter 16

Chapter 15

Jude: Regardless of his own murderous intent or desires, 100% for their sake.

Jude: He wants 'ta kill 'em at the happies' moment of their lives, 'ta make it eternal.

Jude: That's his purpose.

(At the happiest moment...)

(Kill?)

Jude: He's outta his mind, ain't he?

Thinking back, there were many moments... that came to mind.

The way back from the theater.

The park where we had a picnic.

The flower-covered hill we raced down in the wheelchair.

(If I had agreed back then––would Ellis have killed me?)

Jude: Well, I hear he's only killed one person at the peak of their happiness in the past.

Jude: He probably has his own twisted conditions.

(Conditions...)

*flashback*

Ellis: If you were destined to fall into despair tomorrow, would you want to make this moment last forever?

Ellis: Or, even if it meant suffering from happiness you could never regain, and eventually going mad like Jake...

Ellis: Would you still want to live?

*flashback over*

Kate: Why... did he come to desire such a thing...?

I couldn't imagine such an abnormal way of thinking arising without any trigger.

Jude: Whatcha gonna to do with that information?

Jude: Persuade him an' change his mind?

I thought about it, but Jude's words didn't sit right with me.

Kate: ...I don't think so.

Kate: I... want to know if fulfilling that purpose is Ellis's own happiness.

(If that's truly Ellis's happiness...)

(Maybe it's wrong of me, someone who just met him, to say that's strange.)

(That's why I want to know properly and think about it.)

(Whether Ellis's happiness lies in fulfilling that purpose.)

(Because I think Ellis deserves to be happy more than anyone...)

Jude stared at me for a few seconds, then frowned as if exasperated, and returned his gaze to his book.

Jude: Do what ya want, but don't come cryin' to me if ya die.

Kate: Yes... Thank you.

Kate: ...Oh, that reminds me, I haven't paid you anything.

Jude: ...I'll give ya a freebie this time.

Kate: It's actually kind of scary when you do something for free...

Jude: Oh, yer gettin' cheeky.

Jude: Would it make ya feel betta' if I said I plan to sell your body to settle the debt if ya get killed by 'im?

Kate: Ah, not really, but I understand!

As if to say the conversation was over, he waved me off dismissively, and I turned around.

(To kill someone at the happiest moment of their lives, to make it eternal...)

(How can I possibly understand why Ellis started thinking that way?)

Even though he told me to do what I want, I don't know when I'll see Ellis again, as he disappeared saying he needed time.

(Besides––)

The secret box that Ellis is desperately trying to keep closed... surely won't open easily.

As I reached for the library door, lost in thought, a voice called out from behind me.

Jude: If ya want 'ta know the details, why don't ya ask that weirdo who's obsessed with cursed research?

Kate: ...!

-

Kate: Can you tell me about Ellis's past?

Roger: ...Hmm?

Roger blinked at me as I rushed in breathlessly, but then he raised an eyebrow playfully.

Roger: What's this? I thought you two were doing some lovey-dovey rehabilitation and already knew everything.

Kate: ...I know less about him than anyone else here.

Roger: ...My bad. I didn't realize you were so seriously troubled.

Roger: Ah, but now it makes sense. So the reason you've become so strikingly beautiful lately is lovesickness––

Kate: Roger...!

Roger: So, what is it you want to know?

I told him frankly that Jude had told me Ellis's reason for being obsessed with other people's happiness was "to kill them," and that I wanted to know why he came to think that way. Roger stroked his chin with interest.

Roger: I see. I can tell you about what happened to Ellis in the past...

Roger: But as for the "why," you might have to ask the people involved.

Kate: The people involved...?

Roger: Ellis was born in a small rural town in the north.

Roger: His father was a teacher at a church school. And he had a twin brother.

("Had"...?)

Roger: His brother was in an accident when Ellis was ten, and he died two years later.

Kate: An accident...

*flashback*

Kate: How did you get something so rare, just like that?

Ellis: I made it.

Kate: You made it!?

Ellis: I... researched a lot a long time ago, so I remembered how to do it.

Kate: Why did you research so much? Did someone get hurt?

Ellis: Hmm? Ah... yes.

*flashback over*

Roger: And in the same year that Ellis's brother died––a boy disappeared from the town.

(...Disappeared...)

Kate: No way... Could that be...?

*flashback*

Ellis: Before I met Jude, I was living a nomadic life, moving from place to place.

Ellis: I happened to meet Jude when I came to London.

*flashback over*

Roger: Ellis... maybe?

(His twin brother who was in an accident, and the boy who disappeared after, the same year his brother died...)

I tried to stop the wild speculations forming in my mind.

What I want to know are facts, not conjecture.

Roger: That's about all I could dig up from newspaper articles and police investigation records.

Roger: A small accident in a rural town, a typical runaway case... There aren't many records left.

Roger: I don't actually know what happened to the people involved.

Roger: Even if I asked Ellis, he'd say something like, "It might make Roger sad," and...

Roger: He wouldn't tell me.

(...That sounds like Ellis.)

Ellis would avoid anything that would make someone sad for his sake – the opposite of making them happy.

That's precisely why the truth might only remain in the memories of those involved.

Roger, who had been silently waiting for me to process the facts, took a breath and spoke.

Roger: Our "curse" is something we're born with. That much is almost certain from past records.

Kate: ...?

(Suddenly talking about curses...?)

I had assumed that curses weren't related to what I'd heard so far.

(Is that not the case...?)

Roger: However... I believe the manifestation of abilities as a cursed individual is triggered by some kind of event.

Roger: It's probably an event that happens precisely because they were born with the nature of a curse.

Roger: That's what causes the cursed abilities to blossom.

Roger: It's not quite a "tragic end," but... you could call it a "tragic turning point."

("Tragic turning point"... an event that happens precisely because they were born with the nature of a curse.)

Kate: You mean... the events that happened in Ellis's past were that "turning point"?

Roger: It's just a possibility, but...

Roger: If we record it in detail, it would be good material for the next cursed individual who is born.

Roger: It's truly meaningful work for a "Fairytale Keeper."

Kate: IYeah... That's true.

Kate: But first, we don't even know how to find out about those events.

Seeing me pondering, Roger's eyes suddenly lit up like a hunter who had found his prey.

Roger: That's right.

Roger: I was also looking for a reason to delve deeper than just "information." This is perfect.

Roger: Lil lady, accompany me on my investigation as payment for the information so far.

(Investigation?)

Kate: Of course. But what...?

Roger: Fortunately, Ellis's parents are still alive. We can hear the story directly from them.

(...! That's right, his parents are "involved." They might know something.)

What happened to Ellis?

The tragic turning point––perhaps that's where Ellis found the reason to lock his desires away in that secret box.

It felt like I had caught a glimpse of a patch of blue sky through the thorns that had been obscuring my view.

Kate: I'd love to accompany you.

Roger: That's the spirit. Make sure to ask for a "bodyguard" too, okay? One who's not Ellis, that is.

-

––Before the sun rose, the "three" of them departed Crown Castle.

Ellis: ...Good morning. Huh, it's just Al this morning? That's unusual.

A faint smell of alcohol lingered in the dining hall, unusual for this time of day.

The shot glass with a lime wedge placed in front of Alfons seemed to be a morning tequila, a pick-me-up drink.

Alfons: Ah, I've been expecting you, Ellis.

Alfons: I was just having some fun and returned to the castle this morning when Jude and Roger left me a message.

Ellis: ...Jude and Roger?

Alfons: Yes, to be delivered when you arrived.

Alfons: From Roger: "I'm borrowing Kate and Jude for a few days."

Alfons: From Jude: "Handle the work while I'm gone." ...Isn't this a case of power harassment?

Rather than expressing concern, Alfons said it with pity for Ellis, who wouldn't defy Jude even so, and stood up from his seat with the shot glass in hand.

Alfons: With that said, I'm going to sleep, so good night.

Ellis: ...Wait.

Ellis: Kate... went with them, on an overnight trip?

Alfons: It seems so. Going on a group trip with that beast and that cold-blooded man... I can only sense danger to her chastity and well-being.

Alfons: Apparently, it's some kind of important investigation for the Fairytale Keeper.

Alfons: Oh, the poor little robin... I'll have to point and laugh at her when she comes back all properly trained.

As if he hadn't even heard Alfons's cheerful voice, Ellis was lost in thought, his eyes downcast.

Ellis: An important investigation...

Alfons: ...Oh my, it's rare to see you with such an expression, Ellis.

Alfons: Did something happen with Kate?

Ellis: ...No.

Ellis: Nothing happened.

Ellis himself didn't seem to notice the lack of life in his smile, and Alfons lowered his eyebrows sympathetically.

Alfons: ...Hmm, that's a scary face. It seems like there's going to be some trouble.

Alfons: Perhaps we should evacuate somewhere when Kate and the others return.

-

––Meanwhile, another situation was about to unfold.

William: Vic, have you got a moment?

Victor: Of course! I can always make time for you.

William: Just a brief moment will do. ...About that kidnapping case Jude and the others resolved.

Victor: Ah, are there still some remnants left?

William: Some of the gang members who were supposed to be imprisoned had their bail paid and were released.

Victor: ...That's not good. If you're the one informing me, then the one who posted bail is––

William: The lot who detest our "evil."

William: They intend to exploit the resentment those gang members have towards Jude and Ellis.

William: Those two won't make any careless moves, but... the problem is––

Victor: That the gang is––aware of Miss Kate's existence.

Victor: The lot who detest us... If the Privy Council learns about Kate, she could become a target.

William: ––As expected of the Queen's Assistant. You know their minds well.

William: However, rather than taking action... it might be better to watch, this time.

Victor: ...That look on your face tells me you're thinking of something mischievous. Would you care to enlighten me?

William gently lifted his luscious lips––.

William: There might be things that can only be ascertained in the space between day and night, life and death.

-

(There are no tall buildings. No noisy sounds...)

I looked up at the vast blue sky, stretching endlessly, much wider than in the city.

The place where Ellis was born was a peaceful town.

Calm and comfortable, overflowing with greenery like Ellis's room.

Roger: ...But I'm surprised that Jude is obediently coming along.

Roger: Is it Kate's influence? Or was he actually curious about Ellis's past?

Jude: Neither. The deal is that I can work 'er like a dog for three days an' nights once we get back to the castle.

Roger: Kate?

Roger gives me a look filled with surprise and sympathy.

Kate: My labor was all I could offer as payment...

Roger: Lil lady, you shouldn't make deals so readily with this guy.

Roger: If he tries to make you do anything dangerous, tell me. I'll help you if you cooperate with my research.

Jude: That's even more dangerous. I haven't forgotten the time he made me vomit with his experimental drugs.

Roger: How many years ago was that? You're quite the grudge holder.

(From now on, I'll try to avoid being indebted to either of them as much as possible...)

(Still, I can't tell if these two get along or not.)

Somehow, they seem to have similar personalities.

(...Like how they fundamentally don't compromise on their own principles.)

Jude: What's with that rude look on yer face?

Kate: Eh!?

Roger: Oh? Care to tell us what you were thinking, lil lady?

(They really are alike! I need to change the subject.)

Kate: Ah, ah! Isn't that the church? Where Ellis's father works!

The church stood beyond the vast hill, reminiscent of the one Ellis took me to in the wheelchair.

-

As we quietly entered the church, where some kind of gathering seemed to be taking place––

(Ah...)

Standing at the pulpit was a gentle-looking elderly man.

His height and the color of his eyes reminded me somewhat of Ellis.

A reading and writing class for children around ten years old was being held inside, and Roger and I decided to wait in the pews until the morning session was over.

Jude didn't try to enter the church.

(I wonder if Ellis sat here when he was a child?)

As I thought this and narrowed my eyes... the church bell rang, signaling the end of the class.

The man who had been teaching slowly approached us.

Elderly Man: Hello. Excuse me, but are you waiting for someone?

Roger: Excuse me, we're looking for someone. Last name Twilight.

Elderly Man: That would be me...

(So this is... Ellis's father?)

Roger: I don't like beating around the bush, so let me get straight to the point.

Roger: We came here because we want to hear about your sons.

Elderly Man: ...!

The man gasped as if genuinely surprised, and stared at Roger and me.

Kate: I'm sorry for the sudden intrusion.

Kate: ...There's someone important to me, and I want to know more about him.

Grayson (2014) live read

join me as I re-read Grayson for research for an essay on it's treatment of eroticism.

love the use of bold pink for issue #1's cover. very much referencing 60's 70's James Bond posters and pop art. I saw a picture of a second printing where the pink was red instead, which could have been an aim at making it more marketable (less queer-seeming, which... lol) or could have been about the print quality on the color? the red with black title is way less striking.

the left variant cover is horrendous. why did you make his face look like that. why are you trying to sell some gritty version of Dick who doesn't know how to properly handle a gun, for a comic in which Midnighter is going to flirt fight with him? deception in advertising!

the right is really great. I wish I could find a better quality image. matches the energy of Nightwing #30 which lead to all of this.

on to the story!

there's something about dead, tortured, martyred Dick...

Looks like we've got a hot one. YES YOU DO, M!!!

"I can read the electrical activity inside your pretty head." "you fight like jazz." stellar dialogue. you can't tell me this is not a little bit of flirting. and Midnighter is a known, canonically gay character, so we are meant to read into his lines. I think it's also pretty established at this point in Dick's character consensus that he's very attractive.

I think this room is referencing Modesty Blaise (1966), a spy parody featuring Dirk Bogarde. I haven't seen it yet. when I first read Grayson I was like... the colorful visuals and patterns in a spy context make me think of Austin Powers—a 90's parody of the 60's/70's parodies of spy films. inspiration multiply removed! I'm fairly confident that the artists looked at some spy movies/posters for their design choices.

although this room could also be inspired by the red room in Twin Peaks. either/and.

the bold colors and patterns in Grayson are fairly important decisions, because they're the artistic decision that is most successful. iirc, we'll see how I feel on this re-read.

I WILL SCREAM AND I WILL CRY. Tim Seely and Tom King... I have questions and demands!!!!

more colors! but it's not actually hypnos because it's not vibrant enough and doesn't contain the concentric circles... or is it???

this is also weird because I'm not sure if like. we're not supposed to think that Helena and Dick were together romantically in the past (Nightwing / Huntress (1998)). that's pre new-52 so... shrug. but do they even know each other here? are they pretending that they have met recently? is Helena's vigilante identity a secret from Spiral? these questions are not relevant to my essay so I shall not be doing that investigation myself :)

ok actually that's Huntress middle row third from left, yes??? edit: no, it's Batwoman. anyway.

that's Grayson #1!

it's a pretty good issue opener, with some unfortunate fatphobia that is completely expected. we get some titilation with Helena, the start of a nebulous power dance that is perfect for the spy genre.

I wish that I liked the art better, since we have these artists for the majority of the run. the combination of Mikel Janín's drawings (not enough gesture) and Jeromy Cox's soft coloring of the figures makes it look like everyone is drawn from a 3D model. there's nothing wrong with using models and references in comics and is pretty much necessary for all DC comic turn around time, but it's really not my preference because you lose the "hand" of the drawing. the drawings in this issue look stiff. I'm not actually positive that Janín is using models.

I like the color choices for the hypnos and action sequences, the panel composition is good, and I like some of the inking. I think they are making smart decisions with the visuals, it's really just the type of drawing that is not my favorite. to each their own!

[kookiesandcreams]

Can you pls make jungkook scenario where he a overprotective dad because his daughter is so beautiful and angelic many boys and girls have crush on her like other members sons and children fight for her, she gets many confession and proposals for her school, he so possessive about her (fluff ♥️ daughter has black hair and blue eyes, age 11-14 ,idol father jk pls pls )🥺🥺

Pairing: mom oc × dad jungkook

Genre: heart melting fluff

Wc: 750 word

A/n: so I tried my best to write and I hope you like it hun <3 ong the scenario you suggested is so lovely! @jewel-19102005

Masterlist

"Don't you think those are too short?" He did his famous side neck.

"No, jungkook," you shook your head.

"Ready for school, Aria?"

She nods and carries her backpack and strides towards the car. You and Jungkook follow her. The weather looked clear and pleasant, perfect day for you to hang out with your friends or wives of other idols.

"Baby, the girls and I might visit Hyun-ae unnie today since the weather looks perfect. She hasn't had a day off in while because of the twins. So, I want you to tell Yoongi Oppa to be home early, okay?"

"Uhm, about that—"  

"I don't want any excuses." You cut him off in between.

Sneaking a peak at rear view mirror you smile at yourself when you see her petite figure dozing off in the backseat. Aria has been growing up beautifully. You know teen life is hard and full of changes. You were also aware how a lot of boys from her class had a silly crush on her. But you trusted her with making correct decisions. Jungkook could be hard to deal because of his possessiveness and his over protective tendencies. But you think, as a girl dad it's legit.

The trip to school was short and sweet. Jungkook parks the car in the parking lot and ushers Aria out of the car. Well, you knew it wasn't gonna be a simple trip to school though. As soon as Aria was out you saw Su-bin walking towards her. What you also saw was Jungkooks jaw clenching.

"Hey kiddo, why do you always follow her around?"

Su-bin just shrugs at him and begins walking behind Aria.

Jungkook does his classic jaw clench and walks to the car, slightly frustrated and worried. Once you both settle in the car, you hold his hand and squeeze it as to give him some reassurance.

"Hey, Kook, I know you are worried about her and what would happen to her buy trust me, Aria is a nice, responsible girl. Just because we became parents at a young age doesn't mean Aria would act recklessly as well.."

"I know, babe, but—"

"No, I mean it Kook. And if you ask me I wouldn't exchange what I have now for anything in this world."

"Yes, I know that. I just you know-" he is silent again. Not the uncomfortable one but a peaceful and thoughtful silence.

"Babe, do you remember how hard things were for us? Your health was fragile and finance was tight. Even the members were skeptical about our decision of keeping Aria."

"And now? Everything is perfect Jungkook! I love what we have. I love this little family we created."

"Your life was at stake, Y/n. I couldn't think straight. It was messed up." You noticed slight rise of tone in his voice. Vulnerable Jungkook was rare, but you know his family means everything for him.

"But we figure out the stuffs together, bun." You play with his hair and slide your hand on his back, comforting him. Your breathes are the only sound you hear right now. Everything is calm. You pull out your phone and dig through the gallery.

"Look here." You grab his attention.

All alert and out of his trance, he bends forward to get a good view. It's a picture of Aria if when she was four. Jungkook chuckles as you see moisture gathering in his eyes. His otherwise doe eyes, now glossy, make you feel emotional and take you back to the time when things were hard for the both of you.

"She has my hair and your eyes. And I swear to God, I've never seen anyone as beautiful as our princess." There's a serene smile adorning his face.

You stare at that beautiful picture of Aria, her silky black hair and deep blue eyes. Some of her teeth were missing, and overall, it just made the picture look cuter.

"Let's get coffee and then you can drop me off to, Yoongi's place. Also, later I want you to drop Aria and Jaden off to Oppa's house. We may go out to eat. Sounds good?"

"Are you kidding me? Jaden definitely has a crush on her. No I'm leaving Jaden at school."

You raise your eyes, "are you serious, babe? We just talked about it now. And I'm sure Namjoon oppa wouldn't be happy to know you left his son at school."

He just shrugs and shakes his head, "yeah, whatever. I'll see."

"Switch that protective dad mode off." The both of you laugh and proceed to the café.

Flashback to the time I saw a hot air balloon museum and came up with a steampunk lost prince Welcome to Dreamworld AU

I'm going to paste the first half of the notes here because the Prince of the Skies au still lives in my head rent free but I want to do some formatting before posting all of my notes.

I feel like this will be a mix between Castle in the Sky and Anastasia. 

Also it is in the skies because hot air balloons are really cool and I want to read more stories about adventures in the skies. 

So there is this kingdom I have yet to name that is somewhere in the sky. It is magical because why not. The kingdom is plagued by a beast made of shadows that takes the form of a horse. To free the kingdom, the Lost Prince must be returned. 

Wiatt is tasked with finding the Lost Prince and guiding him back to the kingdom. He knows what to look for and a way to both confirm the prince's identity and restore his magic. There is a series of trials that the one worthy of the throne can pass. It is a coming of age ceremony/tradition for the new ruler to complete the magical trials and prove their worthiness. 

The story could start with Wiatt in a village on the ground. He has a perfectly fine life here, but he needs to find the prince of the skies and how can he do that from the ground? {This also leaves for me to put character cameos if I can't find roles for everyone in the cast.}  

Wiatt ends up aboard the ship named The Oddity, a slapdash ship housing a mix of people from all over the world. At the head are three people: Oliver Acrimony, Sara Covetman, and Lewis Bright. Oliver is the pilot. He steers the ship on paths he hopes will have treasures he can use to give his twin siblings a comfortable and safe life. Sara is the ship's designer/technician. She drew up the plans for this ship and has modified it to keep it flying. This ship is her baby and you best not mistreat it or you will have to answer to Sara and her plethora of tools. The crew's efforts are led by Lewis Bright. By day, he keeps the crew running and commands their attention with his sparkling personality and even more dazzling smile. At night, he captivates everyone's attention by telling stories. 

Wiatt sees Lewis and thinks he is practically glowing. This is definitely the Lost Prince. He is practically a celestial being, he must be meant to lead the kingdom in the sky. (This deduction is totally sound and definitely isn't influenced by his immediate crush, what are you talking about? Look at how he is a natural born leader who definitely didn't have to work to gain his self confidence and the trust of his crew.) Also the one clue Wiatt has is that the prince has brown hair and wears glasses. Since this guy screams prince material, lives in the skies, {and some third thing I forgot because I woke up at 4 today. Maybe that he looks familiar to Wiatt,} Wiatt asks that he take Lewis to these trials and bring the prince back to the Kingdom in the Sky. 

As they fly, Wiatt has to earn his place on the ship. He is appointed Sara's assistant and finds he actually really likes tinkering and doing mechanic/engineering work. Sara and he do not get along at first. There is a rivalry. Also, Wiatt wants to take Lewis away and Sara sees him and Oliver as her closest friends/brothers.

---

This seems like a good stopping point. I have more notes but they bounce around a bit and got disjointed. Low amounts of sleep plus getting up early to see hot air balloons made my adhd at peak performance that day.

Here are some other notes before I close the post off for now:

The group of Lewis, Sara, and Oliver would be called either the Oddity Trio, the Founder Trio, or something that references the word Founder. I don't know if this will even come up in the story.

Sara can fight. She teaches Wiatt to fight. I feel like her fighting style would be more improvised weapons and throwing knives, but also....girls with swords???? Yes???? I don't know if Alyssa is on this crew or if Carly is. 

I just want to have Wiatt and Sara have a training montage where it goes from Sara fighting Wiatt and enjoying having something to lorde over him to him working hard to learn to defend himself to her admiring his tenacity to them bonding and having a sort of rivalry that becomes friendly over time. 

If Carly and Lewis are both the adopted kids of Eric, learning to sword fight is a requirement. Carly tells Wiatt he has to beat her for her to allow him to date Lewis. Wiatt knows that Lewis isn't a prize and this is his call, but he also knows that this is Carly's way of feeling she has control.over the situation. He asks Lewis if he can teach him, but Lewis says that would be cheating to learn through him specifically and tells him to learn through Sara. 

I don't know if Wiatt actually beats Carly, but putting up with Sara that long takes dedication and tenacity. Plus, anyone that can put up with Sara and not leave (or be offed. I don't know if killing happens in this au, but they are maybe sky pirates so...?) is pretty good for Lewis. He's earned her approval.

Wiatt is a refugee from the Kingdom in the Sky. He and his dad left when Wiatt was very young. There is this entity of shadows and stars and magic that I've been calling Dark Horse. I'll go into it more later, but I decided that he is keeping everyone in the kingdom in line by trapping them in a sleep like state. They are all dreaming and the entity has the ability to see into all their dreams and even can turn the dreams into nightmares. When the Dark Horse came about, Owen grabbed his son and ran.

Owen is the one who told Wiatt about the trials.

I am playing with the idea of Lewis having magic and what that magic can do. Maybe he can float, can make himself glow and be more noticeable?

It might be cool to have Wiatt have prophetic dreams or maybe he gets dreams where he sees what is happening in the sky kingdom.

[ Previous Entry ] ⚜ [ Read @ Ao3 ] ⚜ [ Chapter Index ]

His heart felt like it was exploding. Joy, anxiety, and pride raced in tandem with his body language upon hearing the news. The very next day, his pregnant wife started glowing in his eyes. Her beauty acquired a new method of controlling his mind–as apparent by how his hands couldn’t stop caressing her face and growing belly. A slice of heaven from the past.

But he was raised in a dog eat dog world and naturally, the fear gained momentum in the race. How much longer until they couldn’t hide her appearance? Thinking far ahead, what would the child be growing up in times of war and clashing ideologies? 

A decade of that was taken away by her, a fact that Rionnic kept coming back to, thus stoking the mellowing anger again. Recalling how she’d further hurt him by telling Rian the truth about their relationship added fuel to the fire. He returned to Odessen when the afternoon ended.

But he found neither his wife or son there. Asking around yielded nothing. His calm demeanor progressively crumbled as both never returned his calls. It felt like that familiar dread all over again during the first days of her abandonment. Imagine the shock when a hand landed on his shoulder at the peak of his tension. “Red?”

“Did you have to startle me that way?!”

His twin was taken aback by his explosive response. Both of their faces changed within seconds after the fact. “I… called you a few times but you seemed to be in a trance. Are you alright?”

Rionnic deflated into his seat, raking his hair with a frustrated sigh. Immediately the remorse hit for having raised his voice towards his brother. A far cry to the enemy he once was. “I didn’t mean to yell…”

“I know... I heard you’ve been asking for Jaesa? I just got a message from Ria informing me about their whereabouts. She sent them to Ossus. They’ll be back soon.”

The look of relief on Rionnic’s face was apparent, but it quickly turned into frowning when there were no such messages after he checked his holo transmitter. “Why did none of them inform me…?”

Such a difficult question, despite the simplicity of how it sounded. Perhaps it was a denial from Rionnic’s side despite knowing the answer deep down. Riornivo however, was put in an awkward position. He displayed an abashed smile, offering his shallow reassurance. “Maybe they don’t want to interrupt your busy schedule. Red…” as the younger brother took a seat in front of him, shuffling his brain for ways to break into his walls. He could sense Rionnic’s anxiety even before he landed in Odessen. “I’m thinking of what to give Rian for his birthday soon. I know he loves geology but giving him more rocks seems pointless. What about you?”

Rionnic sensed the ulterior motive behind those words. But he wouldn’t turn down a conversation about his son. “Still not sure myself. Probably a new apparel,” Rionnic replied calmly.

“That’s a great idea! Hmm… oh! Maybe I’ll make him a custom holocron! Yes!”

Riornivo’s enthusiasm scratched an endearment spot in him, but he would rather be caught dead first before expressing it to his annoying twin. “Spit it out.”

“What?”

“You want to say something.”

The Jedi couldn’t continue feigning cluelessness before it irked the Sith. “Red, you know I love you. I don’t mean to be nosy but I’ve been noticing your emotions lately. If you don’t want me to do anything, I won’t. But who knows, it might make you feel better telling it to someone.”

Riornivo braced for his twin’s reaction. 

“Are you willing to push this?” Rionnic taunted in a semi-playful way.

“To help you? Yes.” Riornivo answered with just as much familiarity and connection, albeit in a different way. His persistence seemed to pay off as Rionnic looked like he was in deep thought. 

“Fine. I think I need some time off. After dealings in Zakuul are done, I’m loading the rest to you. The bar is high.”

“Yessir–uh, Your Majesty!”

That playful response made Rionnic groan dismissively. “Then get to work.”

Rionnic had contemplated spilling his heart out to his twin, but decided against it. His pride would take a hit for airing his marriage issues out, and he preferred to solve this by himself. The office was emptied once more as he glanced at the picture on the desk. Just the three of them, smiling on Rishi. It caused his mind to wander off, thinking deeper into all of the troubles in this paradise.

The love he had for Rian would be incomplete if he were to break his heart by breaking his mother’s. Being Sith undoubtedly carried the default and already proven resentment in the boy’s heart, and he wouldn’t want to worsen that by tarnishing his image. But he knew Rian could sense his bitterness towards Jaesa. 

Which took Jaesa by surprise when Rian asked her a thinly veiled question about his father.

“Mother… are you angry at father?”

She wanted to say it was the opposite instead, but had to choose her words carefully. 

“Why is that? Did he… did he say something to you?”

“No. I just noticed both of your faces when you were talking to each other,” said the boy nonchalantly while swinging his legs over the bench. “You’re not mad at each other, right?”

It pained her to have to lie to her son. She hooked an arm around his back, pulling him into a hug. Perhaps this would be the right time to have that difficult talk, being in a familiar place and away from Rionnic. The hurdle was how would she phrase the words–she considered framing it from the point of Jedi teachings against attachments, but that would be hypocritical of her, and it felt a little too permanent . There was always a flicker of hope that perhaps someday, Rionnic would lower his defenses for her.

“Rian… can I ask you something?” to which the boy nodded.

“Alright… um…” 

Jaesa stroked Rian’s hair in an attempt to soothe herself. The longer he waited for his mother to continue, the more uncomfortable he became. “Sorry, um… I want to know… if you’d be fine if-if your father and I go our separate ways?”

“What do you mean…?”

“When someday we are not together anymore. None of us would be going anywhere–we’d still be next to you all the time! But your father and I would no longer be, um-”

“You’re angry at father?” said Rian defiantly while releasing himself from his mother’s embrace.

“N-no, this is just a hypothetical question!” 

Rian raised a perplexed eyebrow, mixed with mild annoyance. “Then why would you not be together? Is that what happens when people stop loving each other? Do you not love father anymore?”

Jaesa took a moment to rearrange her method of delving deeper into this topic. To educate from a place of understanding and love must be performed with serenity. “My little knight, of course I love your father very much. I’m sorry if I’ve upset you.” 

“Then don’t ask such questions anymore. It’s not an appropriate one for a child!” Rian lectured while waving his finger around, his tone hurt yet commanding. He huffed away towards a building that used to be the former Jedi archives. The talk went about as well as Jaesa expected.

After saying goodbye to the familiar faces of Ossus, Rian continued both his silence and pouting during the journey back to Odessen. Jaesa decided to not push her luck, giving her son space and perhaps trying again in the near future with a different approach. Both of their holocoms suddenly pinged multiple missed calls, all from Rionnic. It appeared that Ossus was having signal problems again. Rian immediately redialed his father.

“Rian! Rian… are you alright? Where are you?” 

“Calm down, father. I’m on my way back. I’ll talk to you again once I arrive!” To which Rionnic responded by expressing his relief. Rian’s silence persisted over the rest of the trip. His mother, however, was bracing herself for her husband’s response to this failed attempt. He would probably gloat about how he was right or admonish her for hurting Rian’s feelings. Once the shuttle landed, Rian quickly undid his seatbelt and bolted out, seeking his dear father. Jaesa took her time, not showing any signs of urgency.

“Father!” Rian shouted while knocking rapidly on his office door. He was greeted with the sight of Rionnic talking to a raven-haired man with a pale complexion who seemed somewhat recognizable to him. The other person was Lady Beniko. 

“I understand. You may leave.” Rionnic dismissed both of his subordinates.

Rian skittered towards Rionnic as he kneeled, greeting him with a hug. The tightness of Rian’s grasp was indicative of his state of mind, confirmed by his expression when he released the hug. 

“How was your day, good Sir?”

“Hm… it was okay. Tonight it might improve. Oh, by the way, I just saw some of my friends in Ossus! I’m sorry I couldn’t invite you there, father, but I’ll make sure of it next time!”

“That’s good to hear-”

“Oh, and I think Ossus had a signal problem again! That’s why I didn’t pick up your calls.” “Don’t worry about it, as long as you’re safe. Have you eaten?”

Before the boy could answer, the mother entered the room with her eyes downcast, but now her hair was done in an updo. Rian’s posture tensed upon seeing her as he scooted closer towards Rionnic’s body, refusing to look Jaesa’s way. “Yeah… I ate lunch at Ossus.”

“Good, good. You know what? I took a few days off, so I’m quite free to do many things with you,” Rionnic said to attempt to ease the atmosphere. “How about that trip to Alderaan?”

“Wow! I’d love to! But… that means I’d have to skip class.”

“I’ll have a talk with Sana-Rae. Unless you say otherwise? It’s up to you. We can go anytime you want.”

Rian took a moment to think, then his eyes glanced at Jaesa who was still speechless. She shrugged, giving the final say to him with a passing smile. 

“Yes, please!”

Rionnic affirmed with a grin, reinforcing his pitch with the grand castles of Alderaan being a sight to behold. He knew Rian would be curious about the caves, and that was something he’d have to do a little research on; to find the one with the least amount of Killik. It has been a long time since he returned home. The padawan excused himself to meet his friends, leaving the parents alone and in silence, again.

Jaesa turned to leave, never meeting Rionnic’s eyes.

“Wait.”

Again? She thought. Her weary heart wanted to continue walking, but her memory flashed to Rionnic’s previous words of preferring to communicate their problems away. She turned to face him with a determined glint in her eyes. The physical distance acted as a buffer between them.

“Did you talk to him about…”

She waited for him to continue, which unnerved him.

“Well, did you?” Rionnic repeated with an increased volume.

“Sure, why not? Anything else you want to know?”

Silence. It was as if Jaesa knew how to push his buttons, easily controlling the atmosphere and minimizing his authority. His pride refused to back down however, blurting out whatever sentence without much of a thought. “Why did he seem upset? What did you say?”

Predictable words to which Jaesa had already prepared for. 

“It’s natural that he’s upset. He will understand eventually. I spoke as softly as I can, and I know it’s going to hurt him regardless. Give him some time–I’m the one who raised him after all.”

Hurtful as it was to hear, confusion was the stronger emotion currently infecting Rionnic. He hated the potential outcome of this conversation, wanting to prevent it yet he was prevented by not knowing how to articulate it. And by the hurt. Before he could speak further, Jaesa added to her stinger sentences.

“Red… I think I want some distance from you when it doesn’t concern Rian. If possible, I want to finalize it by filing. I promise I won’t ever keep him away from you.”

A masterful final blow to his ego. The figurative walls crumbling could be seen by the subtle change in his posture. He mustered the last bit of emotional strength left. “Come closer.”

He displayed that same look a decade ago, strong and stoic, yet enticing. But she refused to take a dent to her defenses. She calmly approached him, their eyes trained on each other. There was a few seconds of wordless tension, and for the first time in his life where he was scared to speak his mind. Had circumstances been different, perhaps they would have been doing more than just locking eyes.

“Do you really mean that?” His voice subdued and lower pitched. “Repeat your words. Confirm it to me.”

She could sense the desperation. “You heard me clearly the first time. It’s the same thing you wanted months ago–I’ve come to agree that it’s for the best...” as she lowered her gaze, preparing to extract herself from the situation. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I still have errands to run. Force be with you.”

A common parting gesture throughout the galaxy, sounding so distant and hollow. Internally, he was pulling hair over how she turned those familiar terms into such a foreign concept. The way she detached effortlessly was probably credited to her Jedi training, but he refused to believe that someone could quit loving another abruptly. How did it get to this? The image of his shattered family was on the horizon. 

His chest became progressively heavier as he stared at the family picture. Was that the beginning of the end?

Alright, here comes some lines from the fics I was writing when I was 15. Not much, but I get lazy translating, and I can't translate the vibe some of them are giving anyway. You just have to trust my commentary.

 “Accio hair straightener!” [Lily Anne] yelled, waving her wand around.

“I don't think it's here” Victoria finally said, “but I think you wouldn't find it useful anyway. At Hogwarts there are no… electrical outlets, right?”

“Damn. You're right, as usual,” she sighed deeply “but maybe there is some hair straightening charm?”

– from “Lily and Victoria save the Prisoner of Azkaban”. So, the very first time Lily Anne appeared as a character was a story my bestie & I wrote about us randomly transporting into HP Universe and using our knowledge of the books to save everyone. POA was my favourite book, so that's why we started with it. The rest is history now. Also, can you tell I absolutely despised my curly hair back then? There's so many scenes where Lily Anne (& other characters too tbf) is going on and on how shitty her hair looks because it's curly. The only time she receives compliments is when she straightens it. In general, the fics are just a deep look into all the insecurities 15yo me had. I didn't keep a diary, but this is almost better.

At the moment, everyone [in the common room] was busy with themselves, but he knew that the moment he or Lily got mad and made a scene, the Gryffindor students would watch it with delight.

“I… I think that… I think that I love you.”

“That's your problem” she shrugged.

– Frily being a toxic mess since 2k15

“How was yours?”

“Our what?”

“Your date?”

“Me and Fred were on a date?”

“You weren't?”

“Me no, Fred yes.”

– it's a whole “chapter” with George and Lily, and 90% of the dialogues look like this. It's insufferable yet somehow endearing. Also, it makes me remember that Lily used to have a whole different kind of friendship with George, and I should play more into that in dwtd.

“Now I don't know what makes me more nauseous. The amount of vodka I drank yesterday or the amount of sweetness you two are producing.”

– from an AU where Frily breaks up when the twins leave Hogwarts but she cuts ties with the magic world and everyone and turns up as a bartender in a muggle pub and changes her name to Lilith (oh how original and edgy). Also, everyone is suddenly an alcoholic I guess, because drinking looks cool when you're 15.

“Could you please take your hands off of my sister when you speak to me? It's disgusting” Tim flinched theatrically.

– Lily's brother to Fred. Tbh, little Timmy is a menace, and I remember enjoying him way more than I should, I hope I can write him more in the second act of dwtd.

“You're…”

“An idiot” he finished for her. “Yeah, I know.”

She smiled.

“Well, it's good that you're aware.”

– Peak Frily right there. I was writing them to be way too toxic most of the time, but this little moment is still very much on brand. Also, did I ever mention that they started out as absolutely hating each other? No? Well, that's the main difference then. Back then, they were mostly tolerating each other because George and Vicky were a thing, and then out of nowhere, they fell in love. Now they're friends that like to get on each other's nerves, but they deeply care about each other from the start of the story. That's the difference. (I still love enemies to lovers, though, it just wasn't the best approach for them).
