#yeah next part will have my sibling’s oc

[snirtsnirkarts]

Right so, this is my guy uh… Hold on I forgot his name. Ishbak Macroprososup, you can see why I forgot the name(plus the fact that it’s been almost like a full year since I last touched him. I forgot him like heaven did. I will explain that.) Used to go by Iskbak back in the day when the name was more common, but present day goes by Mac. Mac I had decided, was there all throughout history, just not memorable enough for Crowley or Aziraphale to care.

So Mac actually has a complicated history as a messenger, or a vessel. Except he doesn’t know that. To call upon the vessel, you call his name, Choncha. They just never told him for not only security reasons, because he possesses information from both heaven and hell, and was previously the communicator for both lands.

Mac was also a messenger for people as well, or just a vessel of good will or bad. Sent as different animals that would look more biblical angel like, but processes a power if you don’t look at him long enough, you wouldn’t notice this thing is not entirely one animal.

Some of my animal examples of him and a little colored in doodle to show his old coloring. There are little things he did to try and fit in, like dying his hair blond to look less demon like and more angelic, but he’s stopped since.

So that was his life before the war between heaven and hell. Which I made the fuck up but is mentioned in the show(I believe) but never mentioned when it took place. So again, made it the fuck up. I also never specify when it takes place. Uh, because idk I dont wanna decide that. Sure season three or something will clear this up. Again, don’t actually care that much.

Anyways, during the war, Mac’s wings got cut, giving him no access to heaven, but having not fallen, he wasn’t given access to hell either. He doesn’t know anything about elevators or stairwells or whatever have you. He really doesn’t know much of anything, since he is just a vessel without knowing it.

I had decided Crowley was there to sweep the lands when both parties retired or whatever have you. But finding Mac being abandoned, he hoped heaven would come back for him and spares his life. But on the other hand, heaven either forgot about him or thought he’d been a demon(do to the mud covered wings looking black).

So, Mac was left to roam the earth. He was found by a human while there. Who I don’t think I ever actually named, but is important and is based on my best friend.

So this human actually taught Mac basically how to live life. But of course, humans die. But while dying, our human promised to come back just for Mac. And without knowing it, had called upon the vessel to carry their memories until they got back. And now our human is reincarnated at random unassigned times. Although is cursed to always die soon after remembering Mac and their previous life. So when Mac found them, it was just a ticking time bomb. Mac eventually would feel awful for doing it and hides from his counterpart, not wanting them to have a shortened life. Unfortunately, their human is pulled to them and will always find him eventually.

Now eventually, I never decided the timeline on Crowley finding Mac, I think it was Aziraphale and Crowley find him together because they both now recall him over the years and shit, or a significant moment they had. Like Aziraphale and Mac had been drafted to war together, but faked their deaths with their platoon who all also died. Mac and Crowley, well, Crowley was there when Mac was stranded, and they had been in a few events together. So the two are like, “Um, it’s kinda dangerous to have an unattended…” They are not sure if Mac is an angel or a demon, and neither is Mac. He already has multiple sets of mismatched wings, it wouldn’t help solve it, and Mac wouldn’t pull out his wings anyways.

But Mac is definitely there when Aziraphale returns to heaven. Because Aziraphale looks into him and finds out he is Choncha. And since he is a vessel, Aziraphale can actually use him to get back to earth, see Crowley, and eat foods and such. Yknow, sin and shit. But it does have an effect on Mac’s psychic. As he keeps losing time and even his form is beginning to reflect Aziraphale’s liking. Dressing more like him and all. But, Aziraphale not being down there doesn’t know this.

Some doodles and dabbles of the inbetween stuff of that. And finally we bring in another person. My sibling’s self insert who I’m pretty sure I made up for the most part. Other than the design. They designed this character. Their name is Mastema, or it may be a temporary and because I forgot their actual one. Don’t remember and if I asked I don’t think he’d remember either.

I’ll talk about them next post because I have a little comic and limited photos I can add.

Stay Away from the Altar - Hangman

Pairing: Jake "Hangman" Seresin / Wife!Reader; Seresin Daughter!OC (Rose) / Bradshaw Son!OC (Nick)

Word Count: 4.4k

This work, all my works, and my entire blog are 18+ Only.

Warnings: (Over)protective Dad!Hangman; Angst; Fighting; Rebellious Teenagers; Tense Father-Daughter Relationship; Teenagers Dating; Crying; References to Threats; References to Previous or Hypothetical Pregnancy Scares

Summary: Jake isn't ready to accept that his daughter is growing up. And he's definitely not ready to accept that his daughter seems to have fallen for Rooster's spawn.

A.N. You could read this as a sequel to my Left at the Altar series, since I used the name that I gave Hangman and Reader's daughter in that fic for this fic. But it's not 1000% necessary to read the series to understand this story.

And I meant to post this as part of Father’s Day, but let’s just ignore the fact that it’s a day late.

Master List

Admiral Jake “Hangman” Seresin was a very accomplished man. He was the youngest man to reach the admiralty since Tom “Iceman” Kazansky and was currently the Air Boss of NAS Miramar. He had his beautiful wife and absolute love of his life still by his side with their twenty-year marriage anniversary just around the corner. And three beautiful children to brag about to the world.

Everything was going near perfectly in Jake Seresin’s life. And then his eldest daughter Rose suddenly snapped from his little princess and into a defiant teenager about to flee to a college on the other side of the country. And sure, Rose had mentioned going across the country for college before, but Jake was more than a little suspicious.

Why, you may ask? Because Washington DC was awfully close to Annapolis, Maryland. The Naval Academy. The Naval Academy that one little fucker was attending next year.

Nicholas Peter Bradshaw.

Rooster’s spawn was messing with Rose’s head and Jake was not going to stand for it.

Jake didn’t always have suspicions about Nick. He was a decently good kid. For Rooster’s kid, anyways. He was somewhat smart—not as smart as Rose, but he wasn’t dumb as rocks—and he didn’t cause too much trouble. And because of the handful of months between Nick and Rose, they were practically raised side-by-side, which was great until they hit their teenage years.

Because then Nick started to linger.

Spending so much time around Rose. Going to all of her games and all of her events, even if he had his own to worry about. Coming over to ‘study’ and to do ‘homework’ together frequently. Offering to give Rose and her siblings rides to school events or the beach. Always offering to help her and Jake’s wife too with anything to try and impress them.

Yeah, Jake had seen that game played before. He had played it himself back in the day. Successfully. Very successfully. He had the wedding ring, three full wedding albums, three kids, and nineteen and a half years of marriage to prove it. He knew all of the steps and all of the tricks to successfully convince a woman outside of his league to fall in love with him.

And, so, when Nick offered to take Rose for a ‘scenic’ drive in the Bronco, Jake put his foot down.

“What do you mean I can’t go?” Rose complained, glaring up at her dad. “It’s summer!”

“Exactly, so why don’t you go spend some time with your siblings? Or your other friends? Before you go all the way to the East Coast!”

“My other friends that just happen to be girls?” Rose emphasized, a scowl twinging at her lips.

“Yes,” Jake replied, causing Rose’s scowl to deepen.

“Why are you being so weird? Nick has driven me around all over the place!”

“You’re not going for a ride in that stupid bucket of bolts with him, Rose. And that’s final.”

“What is going on now?” Jake’s wife called tiredly, walking into the room.

“Dad won’t let me go for a drive with Nick,” Rose quickly explained, walking over to her mom.

“In the Bronco,” Jake emphasized, causing his wife to sigh.

Rubbing her face tiredly, Jake’s wife picked her head up and glanced between her eldest daughter and her husband. She knew exactly what Jake was concerned about, particularly with his emphasis on the Bronco. Taking a moment to come to a decision, Jake’s wife turned to Rose.

“You can go out with Nick in the Bronco, but be back by dark, okay?”

“But—” Jake started to protest.

“—Thanks, Mom!”

Rose hurried up to her room to change and to probably text Nick to come and pick her up while Jake stared at his wife with clear betrayal. In response, his wife shot him a knowing look and folded her arms over her chest.

“Jake, you’re overreacting,” his wife stated, causing Jake to gape at her.

“Do you want our daughter running around in the Bronco?” Jake hissed quietly, walking over to his wife. “Do you know what could happen to her there?”

“I’m sure that they’ll wear their seatbelts, Jake.”

“Babe, do you remember what we did when I took you for a ride in my truck? A nice slow ride on a summer night?” Jake asked, causing his wife to sigh again.

“Jake, they’re just friends.”

“That’s what we told your parents. Six months later, we were going at it like rabbits naked as the days we were born in the back of my pickup truck!”

“Jacob! For the love of—”

“—Why can’t you see that we’re losing her?” Jake interjected, causing his wife to pause for a moment.

The annoyed expression on her face dropped and she instead simply stared at her husband with a softer expression. Taking a step towards her husband. Rubbing his arm supportively, Jake’s wife reached out and grabbed his hand to give it a squeeze.

“We’re not losing her, Jake.”

“We are losing her,” Jake insisted, his voice coming out small. “She’s moving so far away in only a couple of months and she’ll barely have time to come home. She’s spent most of the last two years barely home between all of her activities and her friends. And I’m so proud of her, but she’s . . .”

“Growing up?” Jake’s wife suggested with a small smile. “Jake, she’s eighteen now. She’s not a little baby anymore.” Cupping Jake’s cheek with her hand, Jake’s wife offered him a small supportive smile. "She’s growing into her own person. And she’s your daughter so she’s stubborn as hell and won’t listen to anyone else while she does it. Least of all us.”

“But she’s going so far.”

“You’re in DC every other month,” Jake’s wife pointed out, rubbing his back. “And she has a phone. She’ll call us. She’s not leaving and never comin back, Jake.”

“She might if he gets involved,” Jake muttered under his breath, causing Jake’s wife to shoot him a look.

“Jake, they’re just friends. And even if they’re not, he’s a perfectly nice boy.”

“But, a Bradshaw? Really? She can do better than that.”

“I’m sure that Rooster would say the same if the situation was reversed,” Jake’s wife replied, shaking her head lightly. “But do not push Rose away by trying to come between her and Nick. The more that you make it seem like she’s rebelling, the more that she’s going to want to do it.”

“But I know exactly what the little twerp has planned!” Jake insisted, causing his wife to sigh.

“First of all, that little twerp is now taller than you. Second of all, Rose is a smart girl with a good head on her shoulders. She can take care of herself. Especially after all of those years of self-defense classes that you put her in.”

“She could kick his ass in three seconds,” Jake agreed, causing his wife to laugh.

“So, stop worrying about him. Just focus on spending time with your daughter, Jake. Okay?”

Pressing a soft kiss to Jake’s lips, she gave his hand a squeeze before walking off to continue on with her day. Jake stood there for a moment, thinking over his wife’s words, before the doorbell rang. Hearing Rose upstairs start to hurry, Jake quickly made his way to the door.

Nicholas Peter Bradshaw seemed a little surprised to see Jake standing at the door and subconsciously straightened up a bit more. Jake’s wife wasn’t lying—Nick was taller than Jake by a few inches, but he was like a little puppy in Jake’s eyes. And not just because Nick always wore a stupid lovesick smile on his face whenever Rose was around.  

“Hey, Uncle Hangman,” Nick greeted him politely, nodding to him.

“You should get in the habit of calling me Admiral Seresin, Cadet,” Jake replied calmly, causing Nick to subtly wince a bit.

“Yes, sir.”

Jake nodded curtly as Rose hurried down the stairs, dressed for the San Diego heat. Letting out a light growl, Rose darted around her dad, grabbed Nick by the arm, and started pulling him towards the Bronco that was parked in the driveway.

“Goodbye!” Rose called over her shoulder.

“Be careful!” Jake called after them. “And think before you do anything!”

“Goodbye!” Rose emphasized back at her dad.

~~~~~

After the Bronco ride, Jake was still on alert when it came to Nick Bradshaw. His wife told him to calm down each and every time, warning him that he was going to give Rose a ‘complex’ if he kept trying to police her life like that, but Jake could just feel it in his bones that he should not trust Nick Bradshaw around his eldest daughter.

And because his instincts were second to none, he was proven right.

Jake was just starting to drift off to sleep with his wife happily tucked into his side. It was a warm night in Miramar and the air conditioner was running full blast. The white noise helped to lull his wife to sleep but Jake had always been a light sleeper, so it took more for him to fall asleep. Jake rested his head on top of his wife’s when he swore that he heard a noise from outside.

Jake picked his head up with his eyes cracked open, suspicious. He was always on alert. His wife often told him that he took the role of protecter a bit too seriously, but Jake couldn’t give in even a little bit with that. For his own conscience.

Getting up from bed, careful to not wake his wife, Jake padded down the hall. Passing by his younger children’s rooms, Jake kept his ear tuned to try and hear the sound. He peeked out the window, trying to spot any sort of indication about what could have made the noise. Like the neighbor’s stupid dog. And when he heard the subtle squeak again, Jake’s eyes narrowed.

~~~~~

Rose Seresin, meanwhile, was trying to open her window. She tried greasing the sides of it during the day, but it still made that stupid squeak occasionally. Holding her breath and hoping that her dad, who she knew was a light sleeper, didn’t hear her, Rose opened the window and looked down to see Nick waiting for her below.

He smiled up at her and waved, causing Rose’s heart to flutter in her chest. It wasn’t exactly planned for her to fall in love with her childhood best friend. But, as her mom told her, sometimes the heart just wants what it wants. And hers wanted Nick Peter Bradshaw.

Blowing him a quick kiss, Rose grinned and slid one leg out of her window. Planting her sneaker clad foot on the roof, Rose carefully slipped out of her window and lowered it a bit more, just in case her parents check in on her during the next few hours. Climbing down the side, Rose prepared to kick off and drop onto the soft mulch below when a chill went down her spine.

“Rose Leslie Seresin, what do you think you’re doing?”

Startled, Rose’s grip on the ledge slipped and she fell a bit. And Nick, also startled and close to shitting his pants, tried to catch her, but he ended up just acting as padding for Rose’s fall. Jake, still dressed in his pajamas, hurried over to help his daughter.

“Are you alright?” Jake called, pulling Rose to her feet and leaving Nick on the ground. “Are you hurt?”

“No,” Rose sighed, brushing dirt off of her.

“Then why were you jumping out of your window?” Jake hissed, pointing up at the window to her bedroom. “In the middle of the night?”

Rose, who, all thing’s considered, was a bit of a golden child, froze in place, not really sure what to say. The evidence was right there, after all. And nothing that she could come up with would somehow make all of that go away.

“That’s what I thought,” Jake practically growled, before turning to look down at Nick. “What are you doing here, Cadet?”

“His name is Nick,” Rose stated, coming to Nick’s defense.

“And your ass is grounded,” Jake snapped back, causing Rose to shrink into herself. “I cannot believe that you would be so irresponsible, Rose! Running around with him in the middle of the night! Climbing out of your window! What the hell do you think that you were doing!?”

“Why the hell are you . . .” Jake’s wife called, stepping outside, before she spotted the situation at hand. Sighing, she took a deep breath before walking down to the scene. “Come inside. You’re going to wake up the neighbors.”

Once they were all inside, Jake’s wife told him to take a breath and to go and call Rooster to pick his son up. Rose sat on the couch, curled up on herself, looking like she wanted to burst into tears. Nick sat on the opposite side of the room, staring over at Rose, but unable to reach out to comfort her because then Jake might really bite his head off.

“Your parents will be here in ten minutes,” Jake grunted to Nick, who winced, before turning to Rose. “Do you have any explanation for this, young lady?”

“Jake,” Jake’s wife called to him softly, not wanting to see her daughter burst out into tears. “Give her a second to collect herself.”

Though he already had about a two-hour scold on the tip of his tongue, Jake bit it back. Mostly because he didn’t want to see his daughter burst out into tears either, even if he was livid about what he just saw outside.

He knew that he shouldn’t have trusted Nick Bradshaw.

Rooster and his wife showed up promptly, looking a bit concerned and harried. Rooster’s wife was completely embarrassed and practically grabbed Nick by the ear to drag him out of the Seresin household. With a quick apology to Jake and his wife, Rooster’s wife pulled her son outside and to the family car, leaving Rooster to drive the Bronco home.

But Rooster just had a few words to share with Hangman before he took his own leave.

“Go easy on her,” Rooster stated, causing Jake to scowl at him.

“As if I’ll take any sort of parenting advice from you, Rooster, after what your son just did.”

“Right, because you were a saint when you were a teenager. Never sneaking out or sneaking your now wife out in the middle of the night, right?” Rooster asked dryly, causing Hangman to narrow his eyes. “They’re eighteen, but they’re still kids. They make mistakes and they deserve a chance to learn from them. Don’t let your own fears fuck with her head. Cause it’ll take decades to undo that.”

Jake simply clenched his jaw in response, so Rooster saw himself out. Glaring down at the floor for a moment, Jake turned to see Rose burst off the couch and run upstairs to her room again. Jake’s wife walked behind her, trying to calm her down, but Rose kept going until she reached her room. Jake’s wife shot him a concerned look before hurrying up the stairs after her.

Jake stood where he was, hearing his wife lightly knock on the door and walk into Rose’s bedroom. Jake walked upstairs slowly after a few moments and quietly padded down the hall to Rose’s room. But he could hear his daughter crying before he even reached her door.

“Honey, it’s going to be alright,” Jake’s wife told her daughter, trying to comfort Rose.

“No, it’s not! Nick’s never going to want to see me again after this!”

“Rose, he probably wants to see your right now,” Jake’s wife assured Rose, probably squeezing her into her side.

“And Dad probably hates me!” Rose cried, causing Jake’s heart to shatter in his chest.

“Your father will never hate you, Rose,” Jake’s wife stated firmly, not giving her daughter a moment to doubt herself. “He’s just upset.”

“You didn’t see him, Mom. He hates me! And Nick’s probably going to break up with me now and . . .” Rose trailed off with just a couple of cries and gasps for air.

Lowering his head, Jake walked away from the door and back to his own bedroom.

~~~~~

A week had passed and Rose was completely avoiding Jake. If he walked into the room, she quickly left it or didn’t make eye contact. She spent most of the day up in her room, serving out the grounding that Jake and his wife agreed upon for sneaking out through her window. He wasn’t sure if she was in contact with Nick at all, but either way, he felt like he couldn’t ask.

And with only two weeks left until Rose headed out to the East Coast for college, Jake knew that he had to try make sure that his relationship with his daughter was salvaged before she left and probably never looked or came back.

Walking upstairs, Jake headed down the hall and knocked on the door to Rose’s room. She opened it a few moments later and her features instantly sunk a bit when she noticed it was him standing there. Lowering her head, Rose hid a bit more behind the door.

“What is it?”

“Let’s go for a drive.”

“Dad, I just—”

“—Please?” Jake interjected, causing Rose to glance up at him.

Ten minutes later, they were driving down the road, just the two of them, in Jake’s truck that they used for their beach days and family road trips. Rose was silent in the passenger seat, her gaze focused out the window and her entire body curled away from him. But Jake remained patient and focused on the road in front of him.

Pulling into the old diner that he used to take all of his kids to when they were small and his wife was either working or taking some ‘me’ time, Jake glanced over to catch Rose’s reaction. She frowned a bit and turned to look at him for the first time during their drive.

“Why are we here?”

“Well, it’s lunch time, isn’t it?”

They got out of the truck, with Rose being a bit reluctant, and headed inside the diner. They were quickly seated in a booth and Rose used the menu to put a barrier between her and her dad. Jake remained patient and smiled at the older waitress as she walked over to take their orders. Jake and Rose gave their orders before being left on their own.

“Did you get everything that you need before you go?” Jake asked Rose softly, who shrugged her shoulders in response.

“Most of it. We’ll just pick it up when we get there. That’s what Mom said to do.”

“Are you packed then?”

“Somewhat,” Rose replied, keeping her voice quiet.

“Are you excited?”

“Yeah, I guess.”

Jake folded his arms underneath him and let out a sigh when Rose kept her responses short and her gaze lowered and away from his own. She fiddled with the paper wrap holding the utensils together, doing anything to fill the time and avoid having to talk to him.

“Rosie? Can you look at me?”

Rose glanced up at her dad, sinking a bit in her seat. Jake straightened up a bit, his expression serious and concerned, but his voice remained low and calm.

“I don’t hate you, Rosie. I could never hate you. You’re my daughter. My baby girl. And no matter what you do, I’ll never hate you, okay?”

“I know,” she replied quietly.

“Why didn’t you tell me and your mom about Nick?” Jake asked softly and not accusatorily.

“Because I knew that you would freak out,” Rose explained quietly. “And I really like him, so I didn’t want to scare him away or mess anything up between our families.”

“And he treats you well? Makes you happy?”

“Yeah,” Rose stated, nodding confidently. “He does.”

“Did he ever make you feel uncomfortable? Or pressure you into doing something that you didn’t want to do but he did?”

“No. The whole window situation was my idea,” Rose replied, causing Jake to sigh.

“About that—”

“—Dad, I don’t want to talk about it,” Rose interjected, lowering her head again.

“Rosie,” Jake began, though she kept her gaze away from him, “I know that you really like Nick. But I don’t want you to . . . build your life around him. You’re only eighteen. You have your whole life in front of you. Both of you do.”

“I know. I’m not saying that we’re getting married,” Rose insisted, picking her head up a bit defensively.

“And that makes me very happy to hear,” Jake replied, causing Rose to sigh. “But I just don’t want you to get into a situation that you’ll regret down the line. I did a lot of stupid stuff when I was your age and I was lucky that in the end everything worked its way out.”

“I know. Grandma told me,” Rose stated, causing Jake to wince.

“All of it?”

“Just the bit about Grandpa threatening to shoot you when they thought you knocked up Mom,” Rose explained, reaching for her drink.

“Yeah, I remember that conversation,” Jake sighed, rubbing his face. “And I don’t want you to ever be put in that position, Rosie.”

“Dad, I’m not stupid.”

“Are you calling your mom and I stupid then?” Jake countered, causing Rose to press her lips together.

“I’m not going to answer because I don’t want to be grounded again.”

“Good choice,” Jake stated, sitting up a bit straighter. “The point is, I remember what it was like to be a teenager and everything that goes along with it. And I made a lot of mistakes with your mom back then and even later and I wanted to protect you from all of that. But,” Jake emphasized, causing Rose to raise an eyebrow, “you’re going off to college soon and I need to accept that you’re growing up.”

“I’ve been growing up for a while, Dad,” Rose replied softly, shifting in her seat.

“I know, but I was in denial because it’s scary how fast you grew up. And you’ve accomplished more than I ever thought possible,” Jake continued, causing Rose to nod slowly. “Hell, you’re ten times better off than I was at your age and you get most of it from your mom, that’s for sure, and I’m so proud of you and I know that you’ll do even better at college and . . .”

Jake trailed off for a moment, taken back to a different day, about fourteen years ago, when Rose sat across from him at a booth in this dinner. She was missing about three teeth in her smile and her hair was pulled back away from her face. And she had a ketchup stain in her dress afterwards that his wife was not happy about, but made Rose giggle when he was getting scolded about it.

“Dad?” Rose called, bringing Jake back to the present.

Blinking a bit rapidly, Jake stared over at his daughter, who seemingly grew into a young woman overnight. She wasn’t a baby anymore. She didn’t need him or her mom like she needed them before. And she was ready to spread her wings and fly high, like they always knew she could.

“I don’t love the idea of you dating . . . but if Nick treats you right . . .”

“He does.”

“And he makes you happy . . .” Jake continued.

“He does,” Rose repeated, nodding curtly.

“Then you don’t have to hide your relationship from us anymore.” Rose noticeably perked up, but Jake was quick to add his paternal disclaimer. “But that doesn’t mean you two get to just do whatever you want. No excessive PDA and don’t ever think about climbing out of your window like that again. You’ll break your neck and then I’ll break him for not catching you.”

“Dad.”

“And if he gets you into any of the situations that your grandmother described to you about me and your mom back in the day—”

“—We won’t!”

“But if you do, I’m still an admiral. And if Nick wants to stay in the Navy, he better understand that I’m not afraid to call in some favors to serve him the consequences of his actions.”

“You mean Uncle Coyote?”

“I’ll call in a lot of favors,” Jake vowed, tapping his finger on the table threateningly, though Rose cracked a small smile in return.

~~~~~

The old Dagger Squad members who lived out and around southern California gathered during the last few days of summer to wish Nick and Rose good luck before they both headed out to the East Coast to start the next chapters of their young lives. Separate chapters or at the very least adjacent chapters in Jake’s mind.

Jake glanced over at where Rose and Nick were playing cornhole with a couple of the other Dagger kids when he felt arms wrap around his waist. His wife pressed a kiss to his back, between his shoulder blades, and rested her head against him.

“You made it right?”

“Mostly,” Jake replied, causing his wife to smile.

“I knew that you could,” Jake’s wife returned, walking around to his front.

“I still don’t like it. Or him,” Jake insisted as his wife cupped his cheek.

“But?” Jake’s wife suggested, rubbing his cheek with her thumb.

Jake sighed, turning away from his wife for a moment, before reluctantly turning back to face her. She arched her brow, like she knew exactly what he was going to say in response.

“But he makes her . . . somewhat happy.”

“I’m surprised that you survived that sentence,” Jake’s wife replied, leaning up to press a soft kiss to his lips that Jake returned happily.

“Barely.”

Wrapping an arm around his wife, like they were the teenagers, Jake glanced over at cornhole to see Nick with his arm wrapped around Rose’s waist.

“Don’t get too comfortable over there, Cadet!”

“Dad!”

“Jake!”

THIS IS VERY MUCH NOT CANNON FOR EITHER AUs

I do not speak for the creator

This is a fan creation of a fan creation. I do not expect this to ever be cannon and please never treat it as such.

I am writing this on my phone, instead of sleeping, so this will very likely be bad writing and under researched.

If you don't like oc x cannon in any universe, keep scrolling

Ari was watching from afar, he's been a loyal servant since he could remember. Abandoned by his nobal family due to being a hybrid, despite this Ari still did his best to hide his horns and wool-like fur mostly to blend in. Ari is trying to avoid harassment, but his family essentially wiped their hands clean of him...accept for his grandmother. Who took Ari into her care, despite it causing her to be disowned herself, and through many trials and errors. She got a job as one of Narinder's servants and trained Ari so he would be able to support himself after she died. Landing the job as her replacement quickly as all he ever knew was to serve.

He's been loyal...well despite occasionally sneaking off to meet with his "siblings" who are more his close friends. Sal, the oldest is an advisor of Shamura, Kay, is one of Kallamar's husbands, Harper, she's mostly in charge of the farms and villages ensuring they're all running properly, and Levi, the youngest, who was sent by Shamura to protect Leshy and to act as a guard. Despite this Levi acts more as a guide and personal serveant

They all taught Ari most of what he knows now, though most of his knowledge he keeps to himself. Despite being a skilled fighter and having a vast knowledge on medicine, scavenging, and hunting. He only plans to say something if needed.

Despite Ari trying his best to focus on his work. He kept glancing over at Aym who was sparing with a few of the knights. Mentally going over every mistep, wrong swing, bad form. Yeah that's why, he was looking for weaknesses in the knights that needed improving...not focusing on Aym, his perfect form, quick thinking...yeah Ari's not looking at him at all.

Ari snaps out of his thoughts, mumbling to himself before continuing his tasks for the day, though occasionally his eyes wonder back to Aym. He smirks seeing many struggle against Aym. "He's easy if you watch him long enough and not focus on him..." Ari mumbles as he felt his face getting red as he snaps his thoughts back to his tasks. "That's completely ridiculous, I'm a servant. I shouldn't know any of this" Ari says softly to himself, but he can't help but want to spar. But doing so could make things very bad for him as this is knowledge he's never told anyone he has.

Ari tried to get his mind of what was essentially the kingdoms military leader, before getting flustered again. Aym was so nice every time they interacted, speaking occasionally when they were younger.

Later that afternoon, as Ari finished his tasks, he snuck off into he forest. Occasionally he'd travel to the more monster ridden lands, but that was more for a day off. So for now he made his way to a clearing a good distance from the kingdom before reaching into a tree stump, confused. He kept the sword his grandmother gave him...the only sign of his noble heritage...now gone? He panicked, no one could've known about that until Ari heard a voice behind him.

"Looking for this?" Aym asks, his tone dark, protective. Ari knew he was screwed as he turned around, looking at the sword in Aym's hands. A silver handle with a red gemstone, protected by a leather sheath, prayer and symbols of protection and strength in an ancient language.

Ari knew he was fucked, if only he could think of an explanation

May I request Miya being reader's older brother🫶🫶

hii!

of course! here it is! it got longer than i wanted it to be lol hope you like it! :D

dragonfly

miya chinen x gn!sibling!reader (platonic)

theme: fluff

warning: none... though lots of dialogues.

summary: reki and langa were minding their own business when a kid sneaks up on them, scaring them. they come to learn they are miya’s little sibling. and it seemed they have a way of calling people mean names.

notes: idk what to put as a title. the little reader is inspired by one of my ocs who has an interest in lizards, dragons, and anything reptile-related, lol also reader is 6 yrs-old. i was gonna go with the reader being 2 or 3 younger than miya but i got stuck with the idea of the reader being much younger bc i thought it would bd cute that miya has a little sibling around that age haha xD anyway, hope you all enjoy! comments, reblogs, tags, & other feedback are appreciated! 💚

langa and reki sat on the steps of the park as they waited for a certain small skater to teach langa some new tricks. but it had been almost two hours since the last text message reki sent to miya.

“you sure he said he was coming?” langa asked, rolling his skate back and forth in front of him. reki nodded, sending another text to let miya know they were still waiting for him. their stomachs growled, having to skip breakfast to meet up with the younger boy. a sigh left their lips collectively, their heads hanging low. but langa’s head shot up with a horrified look on his face. reki looked over before backing away with a cry as he pointed at the figure next to langa with his own frightened look on his tanned face. langa followed suit, backing away and behind the red-haired skater.

“wha—! what!?” reki pointed at the small figure crouched on their spot where langa sat. regaining his composure quickly, the redhead blinked when he noticed it was a child. who looked oddly familiar to a friend of theirs. the child looked up with curiosity filled in their eyes, lips parted opened the slightest. “what? a kid?” reki said, raising a brow as he placed his hands on his waist. langa looked over his best friend, surprised to see a kid as well.

oh, just a kid… do you need anything?” langa asked, stepping away from reki. a small smile was on his face, appearing friendly to the child.

but the kid said nothing, instead they pointed at langa, which caught him off guard. reki watched with a blank look, wondering what the kid was trying to do.

“you… look stupid.” 

“huh?” langa and reki stared at the child with more shock. “huh!? me?” langa pointed at himself, his mouth hanging open. the child only nodded before they stood up, hearing their name being called.

“(name)!? where are you!?” the voice yelled out, getting closer to the park. hearing their name, the child ran over to the entrance, picking their head out to see a green hoodie coming their way. “ah, there you are!” langa and reki walked up as well, curious to see who this child belongs to. their eyes widened when they saw miya skating to a stop in front of them.

“miya!” they said, crossing their arms. 

“you know this kid!?” reki asked, pointing at the child with a raised brow. said kid looked up with their tongue stuck out before running over behind miya’s legs. upon getting a closer look, the two teens could see the slight resemblance between the two. the slightest. their eyes were the only thing they had in common. the child's hair was covered by a red, knitted beanie with what seemed to have small stuffed dragon-like horns on their side of the head. 

“tch. yeah, they're my little sibling.” miya answered, looking down at his sibling with a small frown on his face. “you shouldn't be running around like that. gonna get me grounded.” the cat-like skater said at the youngest, crossing his arms. (name) only pouted cutely up at their older brother with their hands behind their back, knowing miya couldn't stay mad at them. the black-haired skater sighed, hearing the youngest giggled when they saw he was no longer angry. 

reki and langa chuckled, watching the interaction between the siblings. 

“aw, they're so cute… but mean… they called me stupid.” 

“no, i didn't.” (name) said, their face blanked. “i said you look stupid.” 

“they have no shame, huh?” reki deadpanned. 

miya flicked at their forehead. “stop calling others stupid.” he said, getting off his skateboard and picking it up. taking his sibling's hand, he walked them over to the park with a surprised reki and langa. they had never seemed miya acted like this before. all nice and not bite. they both followed the other two back to the park, picking up their own skateboards. 

“so, why did you bring them over?” langa asked. 

miya let go of his sibling's hands, letting them look around the skating park. “my mom told me to, beside he have been begging to see me skate.” the young boy answered. “we took long because i was helping them find their hat that mom made for them. after finding it, we took another long hour trying to find their pet lizard.” reki and langa awed at the thought of a pet lizard. (name) walked back over to the trio, looking up at them. 

“are you gonna skate already? i wanna see you do some tricks.” (name) tugged on miya’s hoodie. 

“you should see langa’s tricks! they're gonna blow your mind!” reki said excitedly, patting the blue-haired boy on the back. (name) shook their head, pointing at miya. 

“i wanna see miya’s. i don't wanna blueberry head's.” (name) stated with a bored face. langa wore an offended look on his face. what had he done to this kid he had never met before. reki laughed, comforting langa by patting his back once more. miya rolled his eyes, flicking at their forehead again. 

“quit making fun of langa.” miya chuckled, putting his skateboard down. “go sit down somewhere where we won't hurt you when we skate.” saia pointed at a safe spot, watching the child walk over and sit down. with his sibling sitting at a safe distance, miya and the other began their practices. there was an upcoming race between miya and another skater at S. he knew his sibling would beg him to take them, but miya didn't really want to risk it. they were much younger than he was, and he didn't trust anyone else to take care of his sibling while he raced. 

(name) watched as their brother did a tre flip trick on his board, smiling widely as they clapped. langa and reki awed at the sight, finding it adorable that their friend's little sibling was encouraging. miya clicked his tongue at the admiration of his sibling, his cheeks dusted with a light pink hue from embarrassment. he still wasn't used to other people praising him genuinely like his little sibling does. 

the group lasted a few hours practicing. (name) rubbing their eyes as they let out a yawn. they had been cheering their brother the whole time, only stopping whenever langa and reki did a trick of their own to impress the young child just for them to ignore and look at their brother instead. reki almost had it and wanted to give them a piece of his mind while being held back by langa, reminding his friend they were miya’s sibling. 

“c'mon, let's head home.” miya said, reaching a hand out for (name) to take. 

“you're still coming tonight, miya?” langa asked, picking up his backpack and board. miya nodded. 

“you're not gonna bring the little squirt?” reki pointed, glaring at the child who glared back at him. miya shook his head. 

“but i wanna! i wanna see you race!” (name) plead, tugging on their brother. miya shook his head again. 

“no, it's too late for you to go. mom's gonna worry if i take you anywhere out at that time.” their mother had a strict curfew for his sibling than she had for him. she loved them both, but she focused more on making sure (name) was safe and sound. both his parents made sure (name) was at home before curfew. miya didn't mind the focus being put on (name), he knew their parents loved them both equally and were supported on whatever they both wanted. but with his sliding being the youngest of the two chine children, they let their oldest do whatever he wanted and focused on taking better care of the youngest. 

“but it's not fair you get to go out…” (name) pouted, their eyes glossing with tears. miya was taken back, unsure of what to do. 

“hey now, dragonfly, don't cry.” reki said, crouching down and gently wiping the kid's tears. “i'll record the race for you, so that way you can watch your big brother skate awesomely. maybe when you're a little more older and learn how to skate, you can watch him race in person. for now, just cheer him on the sidelines, even if you're a bit far away.” reki said, holding out a fist for a fistbump. (name) blinked a few times, sniffing quietly as they reached out with their own little fist and bumped it against reki’s, giggling when the redhead made an explosive motion with his hand. miya was surprised the way reki handled his sibling.

“okay… i'll always cheer for my big brother… you better record him doing his awesome tricks.” (name) said with a determined look in their eyes, tugging their brother's hand to head back home.

“i'll see you guys tonight.” miya bid, walking down the street with his sibling talking his ears off about their pet lizard. 

langa and reki smiled at the pair.

“you handled that well.”

“well, i got three little sisters. though they don't know where i head out every night, but i know they would be similar to what (name) was feeling.” 

langa nodded, seeing reki's point. 

“well, let's go home and rest for a while until tonight. i got a promise to keep.” reki said, beginning to skate back home with langa following behind. 

“good luck.” (name) said quietly, watching miya get ready for his race. the young boy sighed and patted his sibling's head. 

“you should be in bed by now.” miya said, taking (name) back to their bedroom. “but thank you.” he smiled, putting his sibling back in their bed. “i'll be back later tonight.”

“make sure that redhead raspberry takes videos of you.” miya chuckled with a nod of his head, patting (name)’s head again. 

“i promise he will. goodnight, (name).”

“goodnight, miya…” waving their brother goodbye, (name) slowly drifted off to sleep, going into a dreamland where they skated with their big brother, smiling in their sleep. one day, they would skate him.

fic masterlist - prev chapter

Takemichi tries to keep Takara out of the fight. The one that he’s already warned her changes their future and results in Hina’s death. She promises to stay away so that he doesn’t have to worry about her and breaks it the moment he leaves. She’s not about to let her brother do something stupid. Not when she can help. 

The junkyard where the fight is organized to happen is easy to find. It takes Takara a little bit to get past some of the people dressed up and getting ready to celebrate the day. Part of her regrets not being involved, being excited to scare others and gorge herself on candy…but she has enough weird things happening in her life. She doesn’t need to search for more. 

She pauses at one of the entrances, checking around quickly for the best place to watch this go down. Most of the spots are already taken by various boys wearing signs and colours she doesn’t recognize. The ground is also not solid which means she’s going to have a hell of a time walking over on her wheels. She hears a bunch of voices coming closer from behind and she makes a split decision, heading for a section that’s out of the way but seems manageable to sit at. There’s also not as many men in the area as others but she makes the choice to ask instead of barging in on their area they’ve claimed.

“Hey, you guys mind if I sit with you?” 

They look over at her in surprise. She doesn’t know if it was because she hobbled over in her skates or the fact that she asked. 

“What are you doing here?” the blond asks. 

“I came to see if my brother’s going to get his ass kicked again. Someone’s gotta look out for the punk.”

That gets their attention. “Your brother?” the one with the braids asks.

“Yeah, he’s in the Tokyo Manji gang.”

“You’re fucking brave, aren’t you? You know there’s a reason there are no girls here, right?” the blond asks again. 

“Family over gender,” she says, waving it off. “I’ll take off if I need to.” 

The two look at each other before the one with the braids nods. “Alright, you can sit. We’ll make sure no one touches you.”

She grins sharply before hopping up on one of the scrap heaps with her hands. “Thanks.” They don’t say anything else, eyes on the groups that are coming in to actually fight. Takara looks, trying to find her brother in a sea of black and bleached hair. It’s harder than she thought it would be. Draken however is easy, both by being tall and in the front. As is the asshole who stole a kiss from her. Her lip curls, unimpressed at the sight of him. 

They don’t seem to notice her, at least not at first as their attention is focused on the other gang…until Takemichi yells her name. 

“Takara!” 

She curses him under her breath as multiple eyes look toward her. “Idiot,” she mutters. The members of Toman frown at her presence, except for Mikey who nods toward her. She’s not worried about them though. 

“Come to see me win, princess?” Hanma shouts at her. He’s grinning widely, looking completely unconcerned about the fact he’s about to be in the middle of a major gang fight. 

“Only to see you fucking bleed!” she snarls back. He just laughs, as though he expected that response. She turns her attention to Draken who’s watching it all carefully. “Hey! Draken! That’s the asshole I had to teach consent to!” 

Draken’s expression darkens just like she expected it to. She remembers the way he reacted to her telling them about it. Hopefully, he’ll take care of that problem. 

🐈‍⬛

She doesn't really know what's going on if she's honest. There's a lot happening and she loses sight of Takemichi multiple times as the gangs swarm together. It's only easy to see Mikey once he’s climbed up on the junk pile, even as he looks like he's defeated. 

She can sort of make out what the one boy is yelling at Mikey, which makes it seem like there was a bunch of drama behind the scenes that led to this build-up. It wasn’t surprising based on what she remembers her brother and Baji telling her, but it reaffirmed that it was probably one of those things where it all could have been avoided if the boys just had a proper conversation. 

She keeps her mouth shut, watching Kisaki make a call to arms to help Mikey. She could see how it looked natural, but based on everything she knows, it feels like a set up. It is too easy, especially with how he slipped through the sea of bodies to make it there. Then…Baji appears, aiming straight for him.

Takara remembers the way Baji told her he had a plan, that it would work but not that it was good and when she sees the one who attacked Mikey sneak up on him, blade glinting in the light as he stabs him, she knows Baji failed. She also knows this has officially gone too far. 

She digs out her cell phone, watching Baji force himself to stand, acting like he’s fine. She’s seen enough boys try to hide injuries so they could keep playing over the years, her brother included, to know he’s lying, even at this distance. 

“Hey,” she calls out to the two older boys who let her sit with them. “You guys might want to run. I’m calling an ambulance.” They offered to protect her while she was here. The least she could do was give them a fair warning. 

“Fight’s not over,” the blond with the glasses points out. 

“Yes, it is. Someone brought a knife to a fistfight. That means the rules changed and I’m stepping in before this goes off the rails. No one needs to die for some stupid shit.” She dials the number for emergency while the boys she’s with don’t move. They might rat her out for this, but she’ll take the chance. As soon as someone picks up, she starts talking fast, pitching her voice up higher so it’s less recognizable. “There’s a fight!” She gives off the location before continuing, trying to sound more panicked than she feels. “Someone’s been stabbed! I think they’re really hurt! Hurry!” She hangs up as soon as they confirm that someone is on the way. 

The one with the braids shakes his head, seemingly amused. “Get ready to move.”

Glasses glares towards her but Takara simply shrugs back, turning to see Mikey pummeling the one who stabbed Baji. She knows she should be concerned, but that seemed like a logical consequence for trying to murder a friend. Besides, the cops are on their way…even if she should have maybe requested two ambulances…

She watches as Baji calls for Mikey to stop as he stands…and then decides to be dramatic and stab himself. Again. 

Takara doesn’t think. She jumps off of the junk that she’s sitting on and hobbles her way over as she hears the boys panic, crying at Baji for what he’s done. No one’s putting pressure on the wound. Honestly, you’d think they were helpless.

She doesn’t listen as people try to stop her, managing to slip out of their grips before she can reach Baji and those who surround him. She can suddenly hear sirens and the panic around her increases. She ignores it, ignores the way Mikey stares at her as she pulls off her shirt and uses it to press against Baji’s stomach wound as she drops to her knees next to him. 

“Fucking idiot,” she mutters. Baji just grins at her. 

“Worked,” he says back before talking to her brother who moves in next to her, trying to cover her up from the gazes of the boys and men around them. She’s in a sports bra. Even if it’s not something anyone else here is used to, she’s fine. 

The one who stabbed Baji is stock still, staying even as Takara has to threaten her brother to leave. She’s not sure who pulls who away as Takemichi and Chifuyu leave, but she throws his jacket to Takashi so there’s no trace him. She doesn’t move, keeping her hands pressed against Baji and telling him that he’s not allowed to die. He grins at her again before passing out and she realizes that she hasn’t stopped the blood from the wound on his back. 

“Give me your shirt,” she demands, not even looking up at the attempted murderer. 

“What?” he asks, still seemingly in shock. She doesn’t know why. What did he think would happen? 

“Your shirt! Now!” 

He quickly strips it off, coming to kneel across from her on the other side of Baji. She grabs it and uses it to try to staunch the blood flow from the wound he created. 

“Is he..?”

“Shut up!” she snaps. She’s trying to save a friend and the cops are coming and she has to figure out what the story she’s going to tell is. Takara can only try because everyone else is fucking useless including the boy who stabbed her friend in the first place. Just because he’s passed out doesn’t mean he’s dead. There’s still time. 

It feels like forever before the ambulance finally arrives, paramedics praising her as they take over. Baji is taken into the ambulance and Takara stands in the junkyard alone, hands covered in blood and surrounded by police as they arrest the boy who stabbed him. 

🐈‍⬛

She’s covered with a blanket to give her some sense of modesty. She’s not sure if it’s for her or them. The police can’t seem to decide whether or not to praise her or tell her off for getting involved. Her story was that she was rollerblading and came across the two of them fighting. She saw Baji get stabbed and it devolved from there. She called emergency services and tried to help. That’s how they found them. 

She gets charged for being a public nuisance because of her rollerblading, because one of the cops recognized her, but it only comes with a small fine and a warning. She’s forced into slippers and doesn’t get to leave though until she’s picked up by an adult because she’s technically still a minor. 

“What about my friend?” she asks once they finally stop repeating their questions. “Is he okay?” 

There’s a moment of silence, the officers looking between each other, that tells her everything she needs to know. That explained why they suddenly came in earlier, their questions more demanding than before.

“Oh.” 

She had tried. Her hands were still stained with his blood. She could see it in the cracks of her skin and under her nails. She had tried. 

“Your friend died in the hospital,” one officer says softly. “They tried but…there–there was too much blood loss and his internal organs were shredded.”

“Fucking idiot,” She mutters again. She doesn’t say anything else. 

Takara feels as though she’s been submerged in water as the world moves around her. She can hear her father lecturing her for getting involved but she can’t really make out the words. It’s doesn’t matter. He’s not really hers. He finally falls silent, leaving her to her own thoughts on the ride home. 

She walks into the house, still wrapped up in a scratchy blanket, wearing thin slippers that threaten to fall off of her feet as her father tucks her blades away, and Takemichi comes running from the other room. He skids to a stop, looking at her. 

“Takara! What happened?”

“Baji’s dead,” she tells him, the simple fact it now is. She hears him protest, demand more information, but she ignores him, moving on autopilot to the bathroom. There is blood on her clothes and her skin. She strips, throwing the clothes in the garbage before stepping into the shower. She turns the water on as hot as she can stand it. 

Baji is dead. 

They weren’t close, but she liked him. He felt familiar, he made her laugh, and now he was dead because the boys in this world were fucking idiots. 

It was a sharp reminder of what awaited them, that the threat that continued to linger over Takemichi’s head waiting to fall in the future was real. 

She scrubbed hard at her skin. That was never going to happen to her brother. Just because the boys of this world were idiots, didn’t mean she had to fall into that same trap. Takemichi was going to be fine.  She’d make sure of it.  

🐈‍⬛

Takara has never been to a funeral like Baji’s.

Takemichi has yet to leave, to go back to his proper place in the future, and he leads her through it, whispering guidance. None of his advice helps when she finds her arms full with a crying older woman who is thanking her for trying to save her son. 

“Don’t thank me. It wasn’t enough,” Takara says softly. 

“It was,” the woman insists. 

She’s never dealt with this before but she hugs the woman back, hearing a voice in her head telling her that everyone deserves comfort, and she offers her apologies and assistance should the woman need it. 

The woman pulls back and cups her cheek gently, smiling softly at her as tears fall. “You’re a good girl. Your parents must be proud.” 

They barely act like she exists, but Takara nods and Baji’s mother is led away by another relative, back to her position for the wake. 

She sits with her brother. Their parents were too busy to attend a funeral for a boy they didn’t know, but they handed them money to contribute and left them to their own devices. They’re surrounded by friends, all of them here to offer their respects.

Chifuyu and Emma are crying, while Draken looks solemn. Mikey looks like he’s still in shock, like he did in the hospital when his men were around him and he was determined to be strong. It looks exhausting. 

Takemichi is crying. Of course, he is. She pulls out the tissues she brought in her bag because she knew he would and hands them over to him. Takara stares at Baji’s picture on the altar, listening to the service and the sounds of mourning but she doesn’t really hear it. All she knows is that it won’t be her, she won’t be sitting in a wake mourning again. She’s lost too much already. She won’t lose another brother. Not if she can help it.

Epilogue

Three Months Later

Mingi never expected the world to know about Emilia.

Atiny had always been a passionate, dedicated fandom, and while most of them were overwhelmingly supportive, there were always a few… odd ones. Some fans had been shocked, others heartwarmingly happy for him, and a small percentage had reacted a little too dramatically—posting fake crying videos, writing angsty fanfiction, and even making fake rumors about Emilia.

Still, none of it mattered. Because when Mingi looked at her—whether she was sitting next to him at a quiet café, laughing with his members, or simply holding his hand like it was the most natural thing in the world—he knew she was worth all of it.

His girlfriend.

And tonight, he was going to tell her exactly how much she meant to him.

Ateez’s Dorm

"Noah, Sophie, please tell me you’re as disgusted as I am," Wooyoung groaned, throwing his head back dramatically.

Noah smirked. "Oh, absolutely."

Sophie crossed her arms, nodding. "It’s sickening."

Mingi frowned. "What is?"

Wooyoung pointed aggressively. "The way you look at her."

Mingi blinked. "How do I look at her?"

"Like a lovesick puppy," Sophie deadpanned.

"Like she hung the damn moon," San added.

"And like you would literally combust if she stopped holding your hand for five seconds," Yunho finished.

Mingi huffed. "That’s ridiculous—"

Emilia pulled her hand away just to test the theory.

Mingi immediately grabbed it back, frowning. "No."

Laughter exploded around the room.

Jongho smirked. "Yeah. Not in love at all."

Mingi groaned, dropping his head onto Emilia’s shoulder. "I hate all of you."

Emilia giggled, running a hand through his hair. "They’re just jealous."

Noah scoffed. "Uh, no. I just still think we should have broken his other knee before forgiving him."

Sophie sighed. "It’s honestly my biggest regret."

Mingi lifted his head to look at Emilia. "Are they serious?"

She patted his chest. "Don’t worry, babe. I won’t let them."

Noah hummed thoughtfully. "Yet."

Mingi groaned again while the rest of the room erupted into laughter.

Despite the teasing, he knew he was surrounded by people who genuinely cared—for both him and Emilia.

And that meant everything.

°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°

The city lights shimmered as Mingi led Emilia through a quiet part of town, their fingers intertwined.

"I can't believe you wouldn't tell me where we are going," Emilia teased, squeezing his hand.

Mingi grinned. "Where’s the fun in ruining the surprise?"

She rolled her eyes but let him pull her along.

Eventually, they stopped in front of a small rooftop garden. The place was empty, aside from a few fairy lights twinkling above them and a cozy blanket spread out in the center.

Emilia blinked in surprise. "Did you… set this up?"

Mingi rubbed the back of his neck. "Well… yeah."

A slow, warm smile spread across her face. "You’re kind of amazing, you know that?"

His ears turned pink. "I try."

They sat down together, the city stretching out beneath them, a world of lights and sounds just far enough away to feel like they were in their own little bubble.

For a while, they just talked—about everything and nothing.

And then, Mingi took a deep breath. "I need to tell you something."

Emilia turned to him, curious. "Okay?"

He hesitated for just a second, then met her gaze. "I love you."

Her breath caught.

Mingi let out a nervous chuckle. "I think I’ve loved you for a while. Maybe since the first time I saw you in that ridiculous outfit in Frankfurt—when we had those hotel problems." He grinned at the memory. "You looked ridiculous. And adorable. And like someone I wanted to know."

Emilia stared at him, her eyes wide and shining in the dim light.

"You don’t have to say it back," Mingi rushed to add. "I just… I needed you to know."

For a second, she didn’t say anything.

Then, without warning, she grabbed his hoodie and kissed him.

Mingi barely had time to react before she was in his lap, pressing against him with a kind of urgency that made his heart race. He groaned softly, arms tightening around her, deepening the kiss.

She tasted sweet—like the strawberries they had eaten earlier and something that was just her.

When they finally pulled apart, Emilia pressed her forehead against his, breathless.

"I love you too," she whispered.

Mingi felt like the entire universe had just shifted.

He didn’t say anything. He just kissed her again.

Because this was everything.

Everything he never thought he’d have.

And now, he’d never let it go.

A/n: And that’s a wrap! 🎉

I can’t believe this story has come to an end—it’s been such a journey, and I’ve loved every second of bringing Mingi and Emilia’s story to life.

And to all of you—thank you for reading. I hope this story brought you some joy, some laughs, and maybe even made you believe a little more in love, fate, and happy endings.

"Hey... I was told there was another human here and, you seem to fit the bill? I was kinda curious... Are you from Shiver Star too? Or Old Earth or whatever people call it now?"

"It's just... people there all kind of dress like you and I do..."

Noir awkwardly kicks at the dirt before sighing

"...There's no way to make this next part sound good so..." "Did you...make it out? Intact and...alive...?"

AN: Hi hi! I hope you're still taking asks for Jade...? I'd been wanting to send you something from my own human teen the moment I saw there was another human OC here~! I hope the scope of the question is broad enough, if you want to share a little about what her former life was like...?

🛸 - thank you for the ask!! ive wanted to talk to noir as well!! i enjoyed answering this!! questions are still open, infact i may leave them open permanently since people love her!!

🌟 - Jade took notice of the young man before her, standing up quickly, giving him a warm smile and a wave.

"Hi!- I would probably be the human you heard about, yeah..- I believe I'v heard about you as well.. Noir, right?- I've wanted to introduce myself, but of course I was too shy to say anything."

"But.. On the topic of your question, I'm.. well, to put it simply, as I explained to that... interesting knight, I'm not from that galaxy at all—not even that dimension."

Jade snapped her fingers, and beside her a small portal opened.

In the view of the rift stool a small field and an old-looking and rather large house.

"This is where I grew up. It's.. Sort of akin to Another Dimension. It's called a Riftal Archipelago, and it's like a series of islands between dimensions. I'm not sure if this is how the story goes in your world, but the people of Planet Popstar—the humans who lived there after they left Halcandra—had left and arrived at this strange between-dimension. So.. They set up camp there. So while I may not have grown up on Popstar or Shiver Star, I have family roots in Popstar."

She sighed quietly—she wanted to answer his whole question, but she was slightly dreading the second bit.

"As for the next bit-"

The portal zipped shut and she grew visibly upset.

Finally, she spoke up in a quiet—yet audible—whisper.

"I did make it out. Probably not from what you're referring to, but... A conflict started between my family's island and my aunt's island, and... Well, battle broke out and I ran away from home after my mom was killed, and..."

She sighed shakily. "I made it out. But I almost died doing so, and in a moment of panic I opened a portal and.. I wound up in Dreamland, leaving behind my siblings and my dad. And... I had to live with the fact that they were without me and my mom."

She shook her head. "But.. things are a lot better now and we ended the war. So... Life sure isn't easy, but.. I still made it, right?-"

She smiled. "So.. Yeah, there's my sob story. How about you?- What was life on Shiver Star like, if you don't mind my asking?-"

Stranger things / Chapter 1

Summary: Everything in life seemed limited to walls of whites and rainbows. Caged within the confines of the lab. But an accident that involved a group of teenagers and the upside down world finally let him free. In a funny turn of events he found himself hiding in a step sibling's shed. A redhead that loves video games and a blond that spends his time making sure to keep his good looks.

Character: Male child OC

Warnings: Possible to descriptive scenes, child abuse, use of drugs and bad language.

A/N: I ask you to take into account that I lack experience writing in English and there'll be some grammatical mistakes because my native language is Spanish.

Prev part - Masterlist - Next part

“What does it say here?” Sounded the voice of the teenage redhead in the shed. She pointed to one of the dialog bubbles in the comic.

Thirteen tilted his head in a vain attempt to read better. The comic was in his own hands and moving it wasn’t as helpful as he thought. “Mmm… final… v… victory?” He stutter. He felt he chest warm when he saw the look of pride in Max face while she nodded.

“Yeah. You’re getting better.” She said excitedly. A big smile was formed in the kids face.

It’s been two weeks since they met. And everything’s going good so far.

The day after Max let him stay, with the condition of being careful no to be seen, she went to check on him only to have heart attack when she didn’t find him.

The blankets she gave him were folded and there was no trace of him.

She spent the whole morning of school wondering where he could have gone. It’s not like she paid attention to the classes before.

And after an uncomfortable ride home with her stepbrother she went straight to the shed getting an insult of how weird she was behaving from the blond and disappointment from finding nothing.

She stayed on her room thinking the few things she knew about him while her brother worked out in the living room. She thought about the limited vocabulary of the kid and that she had to read the comics she showed him because he couldn’t.

There were no visible signs of physical abuse but she got a glimpse of a tattoo in his left wrist when he rubbed his eyes after yawning.

The kid is only ten, what kind of tattoo would a kid his age want?

He is dirty and his clothe doesn’t fit him, obviously not his. But still, none of it gives her a hint from where he comes from or how to find him.

She didn’t even know why she wanted to finde him so bad. Or more like, she pretended not to know.

She’s always thought of herself as independent, which was accurate for the most part, but didn’t mean she liked being alone.

Before moving to Hawkins, in California, she made her life outside of the awkward environment of her house. She spent most of her time with her two best friends and going to her biological fathers house. Even when her mother met Neil and his son, she did it.

But now, she is stuck in a place she doesn’t know with her awkwardly nervous mother, an asshole who controls the house and everyone in it and calls himself her father just to have an excuse to “educate” her and a stepbrother that gives cero shit about her.

The kid was like her hope for something better. His innocent soul hasn’t been taught how to be an though (asshole) to confront the live out there. He was a little piece of the remaining good things of the world.

Fortunately, before she could exit and give her stepbrother an excuse to leave the house she was startled out of her thoughts by a knock on her window.

There he was peeking over the edge of the window and lifting a hand with three bags of chips to share with her.

Since then it became a routine that they manage to hold for a week. While Max goes to school and avoids as much interaction with her current family as she could, thirteen sneaks out to explore more. He already knows most of the place like the back of his hands but he still finds interesting the things that people do, even tho he is to scared to get close.

Those are the moments too bitersweet to him. He loves watching others have fun and imagine himself enjoying with them, having a life where he didn’t have to keep hiding, but before he can get a step closer to the kids in the park the fear of returning to the lab and being punished for leaving in the first place stops him.

That’s why he always goes back to the shed. To a place where he knows he is not alone anymore. At least the fear of being found didn’t bother him for the first week, but at the beginning of the second something that neither he or Max could have thought happened.

It was a normal day for them until the girl came back from school and went to her room like usual. But her heart fell once she saw Billy walking out of the house with a grey tank top and a pair of shorts he only uses when he knows his going to get dirty. Which means he is going thinker with his car, which means, he needs his tolls that are in the shed.

She took a shortcut jumping through her window. She run to catch her stepbrother and walked as normal as posible beside him.

“What are you doing?” She asked, trying to act normal.

He threw her a a momentary look, easily realizing her act. “To mind my business.” He answers bluntly.

She put herself in front of him walking backwards, only making the situation even weirder to Billy. “Don’t you have a date? With the… that blonde girl. What was her name?” She tried to remember almost stumbling with a rock.

Billy rolled his eyes in exasperation. “I don’t know and I don’t care. That was yesterday. Now move.” He pushed her effortlessly to the side once they reached the shed.

Max almost face planted in the floor but that wasn’t her priority. She turned to Billy only to witness him stop in his place with the door open.

“What the fuck?” He mumbled.

Max rammed her body against the door and closed it staying between it and her stepbrother. “It’s not what it looks like.” She defended.

Billy rose a brown in incredulity. “Really? Because it looks like you’re keeping a stray in Neil’s shed.”

“He’s not a dog, he’s a kid.” She defended, actually offended. “A really scared kid.”

“And I don’t give a shit. You’ve been keeping him there in a shed that doesn’t belong to you.” Max knew that what he said was true, but she couldn’t let him to his own with the possibility of returning to an abusive home. “What could a kid of his age be scared of? A monster under his bed?” He shook his head. It was ridiculous. “He needs to go.” He said with finality.

Max pressed her back even harder against the door and shook her head.

Billy got closer to her, using his height to tower over her in an intimidating way. “Get him out before Neil finds out or I’ll do it.” He threatened in a gruff voice.

Max genuinely felt scared. She knew what he was capable of, but she bets that the kid is even more scared than she is right now. And she was right, the boy was shaking inside the shed, hugging to his chest one of the comics Max left for him. His favorite comics. One of x-men’s.

“No.” She said with all the confidence she could in front of her intimidating brother.

The blond grabbed her arm in a painfully strong grip and dragged her a few steps away from the shed before throwing her, ignoring her yelp when she fell on her side. “Then I’m gonna get rid of the scaredy cat myself.” He conclude walking with heavy steps towards the shed.

Max panicked. She let out something that she knew could affect him. “He’s scared of his father, okay?” She screamed.

She felt a small relief when Billy stopped in his actions with his hand in the door’s handle.

His hesitation brought some confidence to the girl. “He hurts him.” She explained in hopes of changing his mindset. “I’m not asking you to take care of him. Just don’t tell anyone. You won’t even notice he is here.” She pleaded a little calmer now but still seating in the floor. “You won’t even notice he is here.” She repeated in a soft voice.

Billy bit the inside of his cheek in thought. He doesn't know how long the kid’s been there but if it weren't for the fact that he personally went to the shed he wouldn't know of his existence.

Almost reluctantly, Billy opened the shed again. He stayed in his place but he took his time to actually take a look at the kid. Scared and dirty, the boy stayed in the very back of the wooden place, shaking. Those blue innocent eyes were looking at him, waiting for the worst.

For a second, a small flash, he saw himself in the boy. When he was recently abandoned by his mother and left with his abusive father. He moved slowly to one of the shelves close to the door to grab the box of tools, keeping an eye on the kid.

Once he was out he looked at the surprised redhead in the floor as he closed the door behind him.

He stepped in front of his sister with his always present frown in his face. “If Neil finds out I let you hide a kid in the shed I’m gonna drag you under the bus with me. Do you understand?” He concluded.

Max was stunned for a few seconds but nodded slowly.

Billy scoffed, proceeding with his plans on tinkering in his car but made a las comment. “And wash that filthy kid. His gonna become a charcoal by the weekend.”

Max blinked a few times. She sat there for a moment, processing what just happened until she heard the door creaked open and a pair of eyes accompanied by a dirty fur (at least that’s what it looks like) peeked out of the place. She gave him a toothed smile that soon became a laugh that turned into a cackle that had her almost rolling on the floor.

The boy came out of the shed smiling, visibly confused but smiling. If Max was happy that means good news.

And it did.

Now that she didn’t have to actually hide the boy it became easier to change places between her room and the shed, they go through her bedroom’s window though.

She did what Billy said. She gave him a bath. She took his clothes and left him in his underwear covering it with a towel and sat him in the bathtub. She was horrified when the water changed color almost instantly and she had to change it for more clean water.

She knew he got dirty through the week but not that much.

She was surprised once again when she gave him the bottle of her brother’s shampoo and he only looked at it in wonder.

The kid didn’t know how to use a shampoo, much less the conditioner. He now has hair long enough to go a little below his ears when wet but that’s new to him, he’s always had a buzz cut since he was a kid. He never needed anything more than soap for his whole body, like the rest of the kids in the lab.

Knowing the kid was never taught how to use a shampoo put another knot in Max’s heart. Through how much has the kid gone?

She end up teaching him how to use the shampoo and conditioner. He needed a little help to get some knots out of his hair but it was easy.

Surprise surprise. Under those old rags and all the dirt was a beautiful kid with light brown hair. It was formerly a way darker color.

Even Billy who was just on his way to his room did a doble take to the boy standing patiently in the hall. He scoffed and continued on his way. Who could have thought?

Meanwhile Max was practically buried in the main closet of the house, it was more like a storage room with all the unpacked boxes, looking for clothe that would fit him. More specifically, clothes her stepbrother used, but there was nothing. She already looked for in the unpacked boxes around the house and the closet was her last option.

She debated if she should ask Billy personally. It wasn’t the best of her ideas but it was the only one. The probability of Billy slamming the door in her face where high.

She sigh. It was her only option for now.

Reluctantly, she made her way to her stepbrothers bedroom where he was gathering clean clothes to take to the bathroom. His towel was already in his shoulder.

She knocked on the doorframe a little shy.

“What?” He grumbled without looking at her.

“Can you lend me some of your old clothes. The kid doesn’t have any.” She said in a small voice.

He huffed as he grabbed a blue tank top from his closet. “Why is that my problem? He should have thought about it before running away.” He said in a low voice with a hint of annoyance.

“Come on Billy. You can’t let him freeze to death in the autumn weather. Winter is already close.” She answered with a little bit of annoyance in her own voice.

Billy slammed the door of his closet shut and turned to Max. He already had what he needed. He pointed at her with his free hand. “You said he isn’t my problem and I wouldn’t even notice him. This doesn’t seem like it.” He had a point. “Give him some of your old clothes.” He recommended walking to the door. “You dress like a boy anyway.” He insult on his way out, bumping with Max’s shoulder on purpose.

Thirteen, still in the hallway, looked at Billy in curiosity when he walked by him, even when the teenage was obviously ignoring his presence.

Max huffed at him. Well she didn’t have that much expectations in him anyway.

She guided Thirteen back to her room and sat him down on her bed.

She looked for her own old clothes through the many unpacked boxes in her room, grumbling every time something fell out of the boxes for the lack of space needed.

It took a long time but finally, she found her clothes. she organized it into tree divisions. The too small for the 10 year old kid, the clothes that fits and the clothes that will fit. All of that, after selecting the ones that looked boyish.

By the end of it thirteen already had his hair sticking out in every direction, full of static. He put on and took off everything to measure.

While they were both doing their own things, Billy was back in his room. He discarded the dirty clothes in the laundry basket and dried his hair with harsh movements of the towel. Once satisfied he threw the towel to wherever the hell it flew, he just wanted to fall on his bed and blast some music, but he was stopped when he heard a commotion at the feet of his bed.

He huffed. The towel fell on top a stack of books placed on an unpacked box and caused everything to fall.

He grabbed the towel with annoyance only to freeze when he saw the box slightly opened. The item wasn’t hidden but wasn’t visible either from the door, that’s why Max didn’t see it when she came to ask. The light left a cloth visible inside the box. The box was filled with the clothes Max was looking for and some other things of his childhood.

Memories of the few good times. When his mother was still with him and he was happy.

He hasn’t been able to get rid of the things. To sentimental. But he doesn’t want to be reminded of the past and keeps everything hidden. Just like his feelings.

Agitated, Billy grabbed the box of things, slammed his closet’s door open, threw the box inside and slammed it back shut. He walked to his nightstand and grabbed the box of cigarettes. He lighted one up with hands trembling in bottled fury and disgust towards himself and the world.

The relief of breathing nicotine and filling his lungs with the smoke was almost instant. He held his breath for a few seconds, calming himself first then letting it out just like the bad feelings.

The past is in the past, he cannot be weak anymore. He doesn’t have that chance.

To drown every remaining of that bad taste in his mouth he blasted his noisy music so loud that he couldn’t hear his own thoughts anymore.

Thirteen, still in Max’s room frowned when the music reached his ears. Billy’s door was close and so was Max’s, yet, he could still hear the music very clear. He didn’t like how it sounds.

A little thing he hasn’t told Max yet is one of his rare capabilities. Everyone in the lab new it was a possibility to gain enhanced senses once some of the kids started showing signs of it. More specifically, hearing and smell.

Whatever they did to expand the limits of their minds also better enabled the senses limited by mental capacity.

9 of the 15 kids they had developed the enhanced senses along with telepathy and psychokinetic powers. Thirteen was one of them. He only got the hearing though.

But he never got to interact enough with them because he was separated from the rest of the kids when his father found out he was a late bloomer. He was left in isolation for many hours with the excuse that it was to help him concentrate. He was raised in the east side of the lab while the rest were held in the west.

But still, he ended up better than his father ever anticipated and now he has some resemblance of freedom.

Uncomfortable with the music rumbling in his head he rubbed his ears for a moment. The security alarms in the lab were still worse so it wasn’t that much of a problem.

“Here” cheered Max grabbing jeans, a pair of socks, a navy-blue t-shirt with long sleeves and a red hoodie that has less color than when it was new for the many times it’s been washed.

Happy to cover his chilling skinny body he quickly put on the clothes. Max helped him when he managed to get his head stuck in one of the long sleeves.

At last, when he was done, he had a big innocent smile in his face that was reflected in Max’s own. The clothes fitted perfectly.

“Looking good, uh?” she said rising and lowering her eyebrows consecutively. The smile in the boy’s face widened with joy. “Now you can blend in with the others if you need.” Thirteen nodded in agreement. “Wanna read a comic now?” She asked, getting another nod as an answer.

“Magneto?” asked the boy in hope.

Max laughed a little, already grabbing an x-men comic. She knows that the boy’s favorite character is Magneto. She doesn’t know why but she likes how he thinks outside of the box. Most of the kids like a hero, but Thirteen likes a villain, just like she likes monsters. In some way, they are similar.

That’s how the first two weeks of knowing the stepsiblings went. Enjoying a little bit of liberty and not lonely anymore.

But Halloween is close, and so are other things in the dark he thought he would never see again.

Fortunately, this time he won’t be alone.

What do you mean "don't say they wouldn't still be an assassin", of course they wouldn't be an assassin they would own and work in a brewery, because Zui Xian is still the alcohol peak and of course they like making wine and alcohol in general so of course they would work in a brewery because that's still a modern job they would work in a brewery and disappear for a week and then just randomly appear after travelling halfway across the world and going on this random action film-esque adventure just to get this random spice for their new experiment wine project because Zui Xian is an alcohol peak with breweries so in the modern era Shui Muyang would own and work in a brewery where alcohol is brewed, you fucking NUMPTY (/silly/silly)

Wei Qingwei (what do you mean 'you can add him' he literally is my OC who told you otherwise):

Wei Qingwei is probably one of those guys who does literally all sorts of hands on jobs; one day you see him working in a garage, fixing up people's cars and the next day he's carving a table out of wood for your new house, and then the day after that he's forging a decorative sword you're gifting someone for their birthday, and then the day after that he's at your best friend's baby shower, excitedly offering a cute blanket that he knitted for them. He's literally everywhere, like the neighbourhood mascot, you want anything done and someone will always give you his number - he's probably got different flyers depending on what you want done, each carefully designed to bring out the best parts of the craft he's offering on the flyer. Everyone has at least one of each. He's appearing at the local library as well, reading to any children that ask him and then showing up at the orphanages in the area with so many cool handmade toys for the children.

Jiang Qingbai:

I like to think that Jiang Qingbai would be tucked away in some small room, surrounded by books and being hired to research things for people (is that a job? Make it one for her <3), delving deep into whatever topic she has been set that day. She rarely leaves her little room, even when the work day is over, and definitely has to be dragged out by her younger sibling if they want her to do anything. She probably has a background in some form of religion (cult??? Eh, maybe), and the lack of control in what she learned probably spurred on her desire to know things, which is why she's so suited for her job. She doesn't even have to talk to people (not that she can)!!! Give her her little room with books piled everywhere and at least two monitors with her PC so she can do two things at once.

Feng Licheng:

When Feng Licheng isn't assisting his mama in the brewery (mainly because they don't trust him not to blow something up some days), he's likely offering different mini ice skating classes to people. That's right, my baby boy is an ice skater (and a skateboarder) because if you don't think that my always-moving little guy wouldn't want to be doing something that relies entirely on movement, do you even know my guy? He's helping both kids and adults stumble their way around the ice rink every other week, and then teaching any newbies he finds in the skate park whenever he's not doing that. Probably teaches dance as well, because my baby boy has RANGE!

Gao Hongxia:

Gao Hongxia is like Wei Qingwei's apprentice, following him to his jobs and helping him out, learning as she goes - she's better at other things than others, however, like better at doing the forging and the plumbing rather than the knitting and woodwork. She also handles the finances because Wei Qingwei is far too generous with what he charges and she took one look at this and just thought “not on my watch”. Her mother or something hired him and she just watched him be completely underpaid for his practically professional work, before chasing him out and practically begging to be taught everything he knows so that she can stop this kind man from getting severely underpaid because he's too kind and generous to have any higher prices.

Li Anran:

Li Anran is both acting as Jiang Qingbai's assistant and working at a bar when he's not doing that. He's in charge of dealing with possible clients and the “social” side of the business - basically, any client of Jiang Qingbai's has something to say about the “scary assistant” that stares ominously and sometimes even glares (*shudders*) if something that he doesn't like is said, or if the hermit researcher is insulted for not showing up. Hiring Jiang Qingbai is not for those whose egos are too big for their bodies, because the bodyguard assistant will crush them instantly with little more than a stare. Similar things are said about a bartender who never seems to want to be there, but makes literally the best cocktails ever and scares away anyone being creepy, so most people greet him with a smile (even if he doesn't smile back).

Untitled pt.2

Leah x OC

A/N: A little more in my current project. I’m still getting a feel for my characters. Feedback/thoughts welcome.

“What are we at, one more week?” Kim adjusted the weight on the bench press bar.

“Abouts yeah. I make it to the end of the week without any pain and things feel normal, I’ll get to run on the grass with everyone next.”

Kim laid down on the bench. “Well I’m sure you know what I’m going to say, but I’m going to say it anyway. Don’t do anything stupid and listen to your body. If something is off, waiting an extra day or 2 isn’t going to kill you.” She pushed the bar up off the rack. “Trust me.” She grunted as she lowered the bar to her chest.

“I hear you. And I won’t.”

“Hey Caps.” Beth came bouncing to the end of the bench. “Le, what time do we have the venue for Saturday?”

“Umm, 9 until whenever really. Though I told ‘em it would probably wrap up around 5. 6 hours for a baby shower seemed like more than enough.” Leah answered as she spotted Kim.

“Probably right on that. So we have 2 hours to decorate? That should be plenty. I think Steph has the catering scheduled for between 10 and 11.” Beth twisted her lips as she tried to remember.

“What did I do?”

“Catering. What time is that showing up?”

“Ah, yeah. 10:30 bouts. I’ll call and confirm on Thursday though.”

Kim put the bar back on the rack and sat up. “If we can get in at 9, I’ll schedule the cake and sweets to come around 10.”

“So we just need all the girls to show up at 9 to set up?” Leah switched with Kim after removing a few pounds from either end of the bar.

“Yeah, that should be about it. Caitlin promised that she kept a check on Katie and the games, but Stina is going to claim that she will be the one running the games so she can see what she came up with.”

“Good idea Meado. When Katie called dibs on games and said she was going to use a few “McCabe family classics” I was a bit worried about what those would entail. You really never know what you might get with an Irish family that large.” Kim helped Leah lift the bar to start her set.

“I thought most of Katie’s siblings were younger than her?” Steph asked.

“Ask her to name all her cousins some time.” Lotte interjected as she joined the group. “We talking about Erin’s baby shower?” The group nodded. “You know she’s right there.” Lotte pointed across the room to Erin, their social media content creator, who was sitting in a chair with a laptop balanced on a very round belly. “I thought this was supposed to be a surprise.”

“She has her headphones in editing. She can’t hear anything.” Beth shrugged. “You have everything worked out with Dylan?”

“Yeah. Him and Tao have some plan that Dylan swears Erin will fall for. They’re going to tell her I have a children’s event to attend so I can help set up.”

“Great. And Viv has been talking to Erin’s family, she just needs to confirm the time with them.” Beth added.

“What about Dylan’s family?” Leah said as she finished her set in the bench press. “I know they're American, but is Dylan’s parents planning on being here when Gemma is born? They might be in by then.”

Lotte shook her head. “Dylan told me and Tao he doesn’t talk to anyone in his family besides his cousin Rose.”

“Wait, isn’t that the middle name they’re giving Gemma?” Steph asked.

“Yeah. Rose is the cousin he grew up with. Dylan talks about her like a sister. I think she’s a year or two older. But she’ll be there. So he’ll at least have some family.” Lotte finished.

“Sounds like this is going to be a fantastic party for our little Gooner and her mum.” Kim looked around the group. “But now, finish up your reps. We’re on the pitch in 30.”

Everyone saluted their captain before dispersing.

**************************

The week for the most part had gone smoothly. The team didn’t have their first January game for another 10 days. But Leah was finally going to be able to join team trainings next week, after almost 9 months, and the anticipation was wearing her thin. Several times she was asked if she was excited, or nervous, and repeatedly reminded that the wait was almost over. Almost. She was sure Saturday was going to be full of the same, though the full Arsenal staff and then some would be at Erin’s baby shower, so Leah would hear it ten fold. She needed a break. Which is how she found herself out to dinner on a Friday night, alone, sitting at the end of the bar top of the restaurant she had come to the previous week. She had come in a little earlier this time though, hoping it would be less crowded before the dinner rush, and she had been right, allowing her to get the same seat at the end with her back to everyone else. Tonight she would be any other diner. Not soon to return from injury, Leah Williamson.

Leah greeted Colin as she took her seat, ordering a glass of Chardonnay. The bar keep was placing the glass in front of Leah with a menu before she had even gotten comfortable.

“Would you like the chicken again?” The ginger asked.

“Might do an app first. Take my time and do some reading on my phone if it’s no bother.” Leah smiled.

“Not at all. I’d say the hummus is great. That and the pitas are made in house.”

“Yeah? Alright. I’ll start with that, thanks.” Leah pushed the menu back towards Colin. “And I’ll order the chicken a little later.”

Colin reached for the menu. “I’ll have that right out.”

Leah leaned back in her chair and pulled up the book she was reading on her phone. Picking the wine glass up off the bar, she took a small sip and relaxed. Colin placed a plate in front of her a short time later and for the next 20 minutes or so, she enjoyed her wine and appetizer completely uninterrupted while she read. The noise in the restaurant slowly rose as the main dining area filled and the seats at the bar top were taken one by one. Colin had just refilled her wine and was putting in her dinner order when someone finally claimed the last seat next to her.

“Is this seat taken, miss?”

Leah had heard that voice before. She lowered her phone. “No it’s not. By all means.” She smiled at the new guest. “Hello again RJ.”

“Miss Williamson.” RJ smiled softly as they pulled out the chair before placing their coat over the back. “Nice seeing you here again.”

“Will you be watching another football match?” Leah asked as she watched RJ prop their phone up on top of the bar.

“I was planning on finally watching Sinclair’s last international match. Figured if I did it in public I wouldn’t cry.” RJ waved at Colin and gave him a thumbs up. Clearly not needing words to order.

“Are you Canadian?”

RJ chuckled and shook their head slightly. “No. But as a kid I just kind of decided she was my favorite player and that was that. Figured after a month I should finally just bite the bullet and watch the damn game.”

“Mmmm, yeah, retirement games are hard to watch. She’s still playing one more year for the Thorns though, yeah?” Leah finished the last of her wine and caught Colin’s eye, signally for another glass.

“She is. But that doesn’t make watching this any easier.” RJ picked up their phone and waved it before unlocking it. Leah couldn’t help but notice that their background looked like an abstract black and white print of some sort. Once RJ had the game queued up they set it back on the bar top. “You’re welcome to watch. But I won’t bother you if you wish to continue what you were doing.” They hit the play button on the screen.

“Thank you. I think I might try to finish this chapter of the book I was reading.” Leah turned back to her phone as Colin placed RJ’s drink down and refilled Leah’s wine glass. The pair sat in companionable silence as Leah continued reading.

“Who do you think is going to take the armband in the future?” Leah broke the silence after putting her phone down. “Sinc has been captain far longer than I can remember.”

“Fleming.” JR’s said with a seconds hesitation.

“Seriously? She’s so young?”

RJ turned in their chair and looked Leah straight in the eye. “Really?” They paused for a moment. “You, the youngest captain in England history, is going to say that Jessie Fleming, who is 25, is too young.”

“Oh. Yeah I see your point.”

“Aside from her age.” RJ turned back. “She’s been a regular fixture on the national team for about 9 years. When Sinc and Schmidt stepped off this field she was the 4th longest tenured player on the team.” RJ took a sip of their drink.

“You aren’t just a casual fan, are you?

RJ side-eyed Leah. “What makes you say that?”

“A casual fan generally doesn’t know those types of statistics for a player who don’t play for their team”

“How do you know she doesn’t play for “my team”?” RJ used air quotes. “She may not play for the US, but.”

“Ew. You’re a Chelsea fan?” Leah dramatically recoiled further from RJ who just laughed.

“No.” RJ smiled. A full bright, cheerful smile. “I am a fan of the players individually, especially Fishel and Macario. But not the team as a whole.”

“Do you even have a WSL team?” Leah raised an eyebrow.

“I do.” RJ smirked. “And don’t worry. They wear the right shade of red.” They leaned back in their seat. “Can I ask you something? None football related and not terribly personal.” They rushed out the last bit. “And you obviously don’t have to answer.”

“Well with those conditions, sure.”

RJ tilted their head. “If you hadn’t become a pro footballer, what would you have chosen to do?”

“Probably an accountant or something like that. I’m pretty good with numbers and enjoy that there is always an answer to any problem.”

“Figures.”

“What’s that s’pose to me?” Leah asked, offended by the assumption, regardless of what it was.

“You play football like a mathematician, calculated.”

“Oh.” Leah adjusted in her seat, sitting up a bit straighter. “Thank you.”

RJ just hummed in response.

“What about you? You obviously know what I do and now what I would do.” Leah relaxed a bit in her chair. “Colin said you did something in media, I think.”

RJ glanced down the bar at the mentioned bartender. “Digital media.”

“What do you do in digital media? That seems like a, a very broad field. And do you work for a company in the UK?”

RJ took a long slow sip of their drink, clearly stalling as they then swirled the liquid in the glass before answering. “The company is US based. I do a lot of behind the scenes stuff, sometimes editing, camera work, desk stuff.”

Leah picked up her phone. “Must be a small company if you’re doing all of that. Is there an Insta page I can check out? Give a like.”

“Yes, we have an Instagram account.”

“Okay. What’s the name of the company?” Leah had the app open and was just waiting.

RJ had their glass to their lips when they answered. “-third.”

“What was that?”

“Attacking Third.” RJ repeated.

“Really? That’s the show that covers the NWSL, right?” Leah started looking at the company's account on their app. “If they cover the NSWL, what are you doing here? Covering former NWSL players or something?”

“Something like that.”

Colin approached with a plate in hand. “Ms. Williamson, your chicken.” He slid the plate onto the bartop. “Enjoy. RJ, did you want anything?” RJ raised their now empty glass. “Be right back.”

After Colin dropped off the drink, the pair continued watching the game in silence as Leah ate her meal. Her plate was finished and cleared away when the match hit halftime. “I should get going. I have an event I need to be at tomorrow morning with the girls that will be far more mentally draining than 90 minutes on the pitch.”

RJ chuckled. “I can only imagine.”

The footballer gave the other patron a soft smile. “It was good to see you again. Maybe we’ll get lucky again.”

“I’ll get my hopes up.” They smiled. “Have a good evening Ms. Williamson.”

PLL 2x19 Review - As Per Anon Request

Hanna is seriously way too calm for being framed for sending naked pictures of her step sister to the entire school.

Which Kate probably did herself but whatever.

Spencer is me every time Emily opens her mouth

"I'M NOT SCARED." Why is Emily even here honestly.

"Rosewood High has a zero tolerance policy for bullying" would she not be expelled?

LMAO they're given group work? Hanna doesn't even get suspended? I would be furious as Kate's mom. Sue the school! Sue the school! Like her daughter is a monster but she doesn't have all the facts sooooo sue the school!

Hair is back.

Hair's hair is quasi-hairing with his little fuck boy swoop.

Still looking confused as ever.

Hanna's mom is absentee for real though because like Hanna starts the show shop lifting, she crashes her ex boyfriend's car, she hides a boy in the house, she tries to ruin her father's wedding, she's caught with an apparent murder weapon, she says she's been framed and she's been hit by a car, like would you not be like my child is in CRISIS? and her just being like oh, yeah, you can tell me who you think sent this picture from your phone is such a muted response and her just walking away when Hanna won't say anything?

Honestly, one thing I really do love about T70S is how much Red and Kitty are a part of the kids' lives. Even The OC, at least season 1, was fairly decent at this, and the kids still got up to their shenanigans but Sandy and Kirsten weren't complete idiots.

At least Jenna isn't in black today.

OK but what is Shay's deal actually though. Like if she's not doing the Emily face it's like she's trying to do a smirky-sassy face, which makes sense why she found her calling as Peach because that's all she does.

"But now you make one mistake and you're tarnished." I mean, you were caught with a murder weapon, Emily. Nobody else knows what's going on.

Jenna is so not a teenager, it's hilarious.

His hair reminds me of a helmet and curtains at the same time

Aria's cracking me the fuck up because she's acting like she's just a spectator between this Caleb/Jenna thing, like oooh damn, what's the tea?

You know that meme, "it's always 2 dumb bitches telling each other 'exactlyyy'"? That's what I think of every time I see Aria and Emily in a scene alone together. Like, them deciding to call the number back together has me like, by yourselves? Did Spencer sanction this? Hanna? Are you qualified to do this?

Because now look. You don't know what to say and you just let that person hang up on you.

Caleb casually saying he lived in a sewer. I mean, it could be a joke but I do think he actually literally lived in the school vents now, so you know, it might not be hyperbole.

See, like, if you two are on the roof, sitting next to each other, and Caleb is supposed to be comforting her or trying to comfort her

and her being like "just hold me OK? that will help me" doesn't make this better, he should JUST be doing it and if the point is that how he shows his protectiveness is by wanting to DO something so he wants her phone, he still needs the Stefan stare, like PLEASE let me help you

give me that Brucas comfort

Granted, the principal taking a bribe from a parent whose kid was caught tagging is hypocritical but also, he wasn't accused of murder, lmao.

"Honey, you can't be a shark if you're toothless." Lmao, I know that because it's the show, Mona getting involved in the A shit wouldn't matter but seriously, she would get results.

Melissa and Hair making out is lmao considering they're half-siblings. So we do have some actual incest on this show.

L M A O. "My parents are illiterate"??? WHY would the show put this as one of the confessions?? Like, "I'm afraid of my dad" "I've never been kissed" "I'm still a virgin" "I know who killed Alison" fine, that all seems to mesh together, but My parents are illiterate is just SO random in this context?

"Maybe someone threw him out with the rest of the garbage" not even trash?

I swear to god if Caleb is thrown off the roof and Aria remains unthreatened....

Nah, Caleb's just chillin in a classroom.

So is Aria going to be thrown from the roof?

Oh my god, Spencer, spit it out.

Or is Aria just going to be stuck on the roof.

Or is the shadow just Holden.

Christmas and Holden. Wow, this girl's life is really never in danger.

Mona blackmailed a whole ass principal for her and Emily doesn't even say thank you.

"Hey, do you know where my mom is?" Would he even know who your mom is, Spencer.

[meliskindachildishlol]

Behold, AU lore.

Other info. before I forget it:

Blaze, Sparkle and AJ are all siblings here because AJ is adopted.

The Water Realm and Galactic Realm are the only realms that are ruled either by a king or a queen.

The main ship on this is Blattsher :3

This was originally going to be writted on AO3 or Wattpad, but I knew damn well I wasn't going to finish it so I am working on this at my own pace lolz.

Remember Mx. Bloody? Well, xe may or may not have a revamp and be a part of this AU. :)

Fan-OCs will also be used here, like Maddison! (I'd be surprised if anyone ever remembers her since I only did like, two drawings of her-)

I think that's all for now?

But yeah The amount of things I added and scrapped for this is absolutely I N S A N E. And the worst is that I may change some things in the future too... lord have mercy (also, shoutout to @/ask-the-blasher-fam for giving me a hand with the name :'] I put the slash thingy there just because-).

ALRIGHT, THE REF SHEETS ARE NEXT JADJDBJS

Summary: Two ghouls at once was unprecedented for Beatrice. But she loves a challenge.

a/n: god, and i cannot stress this enough, i wish that were me

~~~

“Mm…’Lus…I have kitchen duties.”

The ghoulette smiles against Beatrice’s lips and pushes her further into the doorframe. Clearly she pays the sister’s concern no mind as she slides her hand into her copper hair, claws scratching lightly at her scalp. 

“Not finished with you yet, my love,” she purrs, hand sliding down to cup Beatrice’s ass. A low wolf whistle comes from the hallway and the two of them part, brows furrowed. Dewdrop is leaning against the door opposite Cumulus’, wearing the biggest shit-eating grin Beatrice has ever seen. Cumulus lets out a little growl that makes her breath hitch.

“We’re busy, fuck off,” she snarls at him, gripping Beatrice’s hips and frowning.

“Oh I know,” he says slyly, “Heard you both loud and clear last night. And you didn’t invite me?” His lips slide into a faux-pout and Cumulus looks like she’s going to launch at him. 

“Dew, fuck off,” Beatrice says simply in an effort to de-escalate the situation, “And mind your business. ‘Lus, I have to go.” She looks so damn sad, tail flicking lowly behind her. Squeezing her hands Beatrice leans over and gives her two kisses on her cheek and one achingly sweet one on her plush lips. Dew at least has the decency to look away as she gives the ghoulette a meaningful stare. She sighs and relinquishes Beatrice’s hands.

“If you must,” she says, giving Dew a sideways dirty look.

“Bye, love,” Beatrice murmurs. “Goodbye, Dewdrop,” she says, brushing his shoulder affectionately as she passes.

She hurries down the hall to make sure she doesn’t witness any ghoul-on-ghoul violence. It’s still too early in the day for that.

—

A week passes, filled with duties both tedious and enjoyable, and Beatrice finds herself heading to the common room on her floor. She’s earned the ire of her fellow siblings after the invasion of ghouls in the space but quite frankly she couldn’t care less. She walks in and immediately registers a conversation.

“I don’t think she can handle it.”

Mountain is sitting on the couch, joint in hand speaking to Aether, who sits in a chair opposite with his feet propped up on an ottoman. Beatrice loudly deposits her bag in a chair and sidles over to them.

“Who can’t handle what?” It’s not like Beatrice to be this nosy but she and the ghouls had become close over the past few months and they seemed to prefer bluntness. Plopping herself on the couch next to Mountain, she gives them both a look. Mountain takes a deep drag from his joint and passes it to her.

“Can’t handle us,” he says simply, exhaling smoke.

Beatrice doesn’t have to ask for clarification - she’s picked up on what he means.

“Took Cumulus’ strap,” she says, not without a little pride. Aether grins wickedly and winks at her.

“We heard,” he chuckles, watching her take a hit. “Been thinking about those sweet noises you made that night for days now.”

Beatrice coughs a little on her exhale, making Mountain smile. Her cheeks are burning from the way they both look at her.

“Do you want it?” Mountain queries, accepting the joint back from her. “Both of us?”

Lust simmers low in Beatrice’s stomach as the weed pulls through her system.

“Yeah,” she breathes, biting her lip. Aether’s eyes fly to where her teeth tug on flesh and she sees his fists clench. Mountain stands, positively towering over her and she cranes her neck to look up at him. Aether follows suit, looming, and she turns her gaze to him.

Oh absolutely, Beatrice thinks.

As if reading her mind, Aether extends a hand and pulls her off the couch.

“Yours?” he asks Mountain as the three of them walk towards the door.

“Yeah. Bed’s bigger.”

–

Once again Beatrice finds herself in the ghoul den, standing at the threshold of Mountain’s room. He’s right - his bed is massive. The room is decorated with crawling vines and beautiful blooms and idly she wonders how he cares for them in such a dark space. Aether slides his hands around her waist from behind her as Mountain closes the door, making her jump a little.

“Easy,” he purrs, leaning forward to inhale deep at the crown of her head. When she turns in his arms to face him he’s gazing down at her with a soft expression, even with his pupils blown. Suddenly gripped with desire, Beatrice slides her palm along his jaw and raises herself on tiptoes to capture his lips. She whimpers against him as he deepens the kiss, sliding his tongue against hers. As he devours her, he guides her backwards towards the bed, where Mountain is sitting. Upon their approach he stands and Beatrice slips from Aether’s grasp to enter his. He’s too tall for her to reach so she grabs the front of his shirt, pulling him down to her level. When he slides a hand down to bring her hips against him, she moans at the feeling of his hardened cock resting against her. 

“Beautiful, isn’t she?” Aether asks from behind her as he strips himself. She wants to turn to look at him but Mountain grips her chin in his hand, forcing her to look up.

“She’s perfect,” he murmurs. Beatrice’s flush continues to spread across her body and she’s filled with such emotion not only for the both of them, but for all the ghouls. They’ve been so kind to her, so loving - more so than anyone else she’s met during her time at the abbey. Mountain must see the tears welling in her eyes because he sits, bringing her back to eye level with him.

“You’re perfect,” he repeats, and Aether echoes him before wrapping his arms around Beatrice once more. She’s finally distracted from emotion by the feeling of Aether’s lips on her neck as his hands slip the buttons of her habit loose. Mountain helps his effort, sliding the garment down and off her body until she stands before the both of them in her bra and panties.

“C’mon, Mountain,” Aether says, lips on her shoulder.

“Your turn,” Beatrice smiles at him as he begins to remove his shirt and pants. As he is occupied with that task, she feels Aether unhook her bra and a shiver runs through her as his large hands slip down her body to remove her underwear. When she’s finally nude, she turns to face him and gasps. He’s gorgeous - big, strong, dusted with hair and his cock juts out proudly. He’s nowhere near as long as Swiss but he’s thick - so thick her body aches at the thought of being filled by him.

“You like it?” he asks, bringing a hand down to idly stroke himself.

“Mmhmm,” Beatrice responds, stepping towards him and sliding a hand into the hair on his chest. 

“Look at that,” Aether murmurs, a grin toying at his lips as his eyes dance along her bared skin, “Those freckles go everywhere, huh Mount?”

“And–” Out of the corner of her eye, Beatrice sees Mountain tilt his head a little and spots the glint of his razor sharp canines in the low light, “--red down there too. Pretty little thing.”

Aether purrs contentedly in response as he moves his hand to her breast, teasing her nipple into hardness. She leans into his touch, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of him fondling her when she realizes Mountain has gone untouched. Beatrice turns to face him and her jaw hangs open. He’s already reclined on the bed, slowly stroking his (unbelievably big, she thinks) cock.

“Don’t stop on my account,” he says with a grin as the two of them make their way towards him.

“Didn’t want you to feel neglected,” Beatrice says as she kneels on the duvet. Slowly, she climbs over him and swings her leg to straddle him. Leaning forward, she kisses him slowly, letting his cock drag between the two of them as she works her mouth over his. When she shifts forward to drag him through her folds, Beatrice hears Aether moan behind her. She turns to beckon him and he kneels onto the bed behind her, mouthing at her shoulder blade. With every roll of her hips Mountain’s gaze darkens, and he grips her hard.

“Gonna fill you up,” he growls, making a surge of wetness slide out of her. “Both of us.”

Unable to handle the teasing drag of his cock against her clit any longer, Beatrice sits precariously up on her knees and takes him in hand. She can barely wrap her fist around him and she feels a swoop of anxiety. Mountain seems to sense her nervousness and slides his hands to her waist, gazing up at her. When she positions herself above him, she takes a deep breath before slowly lowering herself on him. The stretch is divine, and Beatrice hears herself whimper as she continues to ease him inside her. She finally takes him to the base, and Mountain’s eyes roll back in his head. Beatrice is content to sit there for a moment, mouth hung open, simply enjoying the feeling of being full, when she feels Aether behind her sliding his hands up to her breasts.

“Look at you take him,” he breathes, pinching her hardened nipples. “How does it feel?”

Gently, Beatrice rolls her hips a little and moans at the sensation.

“Good,” she says breathily, head falling back against Aether’s shoulder as she repeats the motion, “So good.”

She lifts herself up enough almost for the entirety of Mountain to slip out of her and then brings herself down. His hips jerk upwards to hit that beautiful spot inside of her. Slowly, she begins to ride him and he grips her hips, claws digging into her.

“Fuck, that’s it,” Mountain growls, thrusting up into Beatrice with every roll of her hips, “Just like that.”

Aether continues to play with her tits, breath hot in her ear as she arches backwards against him. When he pulls away for a moment to grab something on the dresser behind him, Beatrice whines at the loss. He returns, murmuring sweet nothings in her ear as his hand drifts down her body to rest on her ass. He spreads her open and she leans forward, arching her back. Gently, he brushes his thumb over her asshole and she bucks backwards into his touch. She’s stopped riding Mountain, too distracted by Aether, but Mountain continues to fuck into her at a steady pace. Beatrice hears a small pop from behind her and when Aether’s fingers return to brush over her hole, they’re warm and slick. Biting her lip she lets him gently probe a finger into her and he coos in her ear.

“Feel good?” he asks, teasing her hole open until he’s knuckle deep.

Too full to think, Beatrice nods her head dumbly, pushing her hips back on his hand so his finger is completely inside of her.

“Good girl,” he purrs, making her cunt clench around Mountain, “Can you take another?”

Mountain thrusts up particularly hard, causing Beatrice to cry out.

“Yes! Please, Aether.”

Slowly, Aether adds a second finger and she moans brokenly. He eases into her, lightly scissoring his fingers and the stretch makes her clit throb. Aether continues like this for several minutes as Mountain steadily thrusts into her. But it’s just not enough.

“Need you,” Beatrice whines over her shoulder. “Need your cock, Aether.”

When Aether slides his fingers out of her she lets out a pathetic noise, only to have her cunt clench at the sound of Aether slicking his cock up behind her. When he presses the head against her hole, Beatrice arches back into his touch. Slowly he slides into her and her jaw hangs open as he stretches her. 

“So tight,” Aether hisses. “Isn’t she?”

Mountain grins from beneath Beatrice as her eyes roll back. The feeling of both of them inside of her, making her feel so full, practically makes her drool. When Aether begins fucking her ass at an unhurried pace, Mountain joins in. She can barely bring herself to move, let alone think, as her body hunches over in pleasure. 

“Fuck, love,” Aether groans, as his pace begins to pick up. Mountain matches his speed, making Beatrice throw her head back and moan again and again. It’s somehow both too much and not enough as she works their cocks, drinking in the desperate and hungry noises they make.

“Mountain,” Beatrice pants as her breasts bounce, slick with sweat. “Aether!”

“Fuck I’m gonna cum,” Mountain says breathlessly. “Don’t stop fucking her.”

Aether’s lips are on her shoulder as he obeys the other ghoul’s command. Mountain’s thrusts become frantic as she continues to ride him, despite the burn in her thighs. When he cums, it’s with a shout and Beatrice moans at the feeling of his seed pulsing into her and spilling out. She doesn’t stop after he’s finished and softening inside her, determined to chase her own high. Aether’s own thrusts are becoming haphazard and he reaches around Beatrice to cup her mound, fingers sliding through Mountain’s cum to rub her clit.

“Come on, sweetheart,” Aether pants, “Cum on our cocks.”

Beatrice whines, desperate to reach her peak and feel Aether finish. All of a sudden, her orgasm hits her like a freight train and she’s crying out over and over as she clenches around Mountain’s softening cock and Aether’s hard one. It’s exactly what Aether needs to hear because he lets out a broken moan and cums into her hole in drawn out spurts. A moment passes, the only sound in the room being the collective panting of the three of them. When Aether slips himself out, Beatrice lets out another, far smaller moan at the feeling of his seed sliding out of her and down her cunt to where she’s still joined with Mountain. Gently, Aether urges her off Mountain and picking her up, lays her down on the duvet. Beatrice barely registers Aether leaving and heading towards the bathroom but when he returns and slips a warm, damp rag between her thighs she makes a sweet sound of thanks. Mountain shifts himself over to make room for both them and Aether and Beatrice both sigh contentedly.

“Well done,” Aether says in her ear.

“Thanks,” she says breathlessly, running her hand over Mountain’s chest. Both ghouls are purring and the sound sets her immediately at ease. Suddenly, Beatrice thinks of something that makes her laugh out loud. Both of them cock their heads at her quizzically and she rubs her eyes.

“Dew,” Beatrice says, grinning, “Dew said he wanted to watch me take both your cocks. He’s going to be so disappointed he missed it.”

Aether loudly snorts and Mountain rolls his eyes.

“Don’t worry,” Aether grins against her shoulder. “There’s always next time.”

They don’t stop teasing Beatrice about her blush for a while.

[degrees-of-fuck]

[vibrant-dol] CURRENT KNOWLEDGE IRRELEVANT i wanna know how your funny guys feel about living in dolville >:]

!!!!!!! OMG hi!!! OOH that is a fun oneeeee hmm

Clara the Phantom:

It's like- Fine. I guess. It's fine. She just needs to get through this week and everything will be okay. (And then she needs to get through the next week. And then the next. and so on forth.)

Because her family's been entrenched in the system of the orphanage for so many generations and because she really just. Avoids the church and all that, she can't really quite conceive of an alternative. She can just... Be glad she wasn't exposed to the 'real world' sooner.

Despite how much she detaches herself and downplays it all, she does sometimes, in a small and despised part of her mind find that she prefers to be at Eden (the canon dol character)'s cabin, or at the underground farm. But it's fine. She doesn't feel much of anything. She would never lie to you (hilarious lie)

Lettice the Heavensent:

Sheltered as shit even after turning 18 so she doesn't see the full extent of it. Only ever really sees Wolf Street, Nightingale Street, The Woods and sometimes as a rare treat sneaks off to the cafe or the hookah parlour. shh. However, she does play Emotional Support Doll/Minor Religious Guide for people a whole lot, so she hears things. And she sees the state of the statue in the temple. And she sees and experiences a lot of what happens within its walls!

So as little of the town she sees, she fears for it greatly and she knows that in her current situation at least, she is. Quite miserable, despite how much she tries to distract herself from that. She's pretty torn on the whole thing, between a sense of duty, even if mostly to people that have only abused her, or been too forcibly kept in the dark to help her - and leaving and finding some sort of life for herself (SCARY! Freedom is SCARY! Living under the thumb is miserable, but SAFE and FAMILIAR!) I need her deprogrammed SO bad.

Esmee the Astray:

For starters, the twins are French-Japanese and spent their like... Early childhood in France, so they are vitally, out of towners! (They got abandoned </3) So they know that this town is WEIRD. I think a bit of them just thinks it's a British thing though, even if they did likely live in another part of the UK before DoLtown. As for Esmee specifically... After ceasing to actually Show Up to the temple, she's found a. Weird, sick sort of comfort in this place. She likes pain! She yearns to be wanted, but "knows" that's not possible off of her own merits, so to be pursued to be raped and abused is... Good enough!!! She's the type of person that seeks out Morgan on purpose, enough said,,,,

Yeah. She knows the town is Fucked with a capital F, but she's sort of managed to twist her psyche and her perception of things so thoroughly that she now believes that if she didn't have to pay Bailey for both herself and her sibling's Wretched Existence, she'd Thrive here! She loves violence and she's managed to maintain her angel tf this long! (This ofc only matters because if she falls and becomes a demon, she will no longer be identical to her identical twin.)

She loves it! Chaos Reigns and she doesn't care about the deeper issues! Just leave her alone and let her roleplay marriage with her unwilling rapist headmistress in peace!

Eden the Pianist (My OC Not The DoL Character):

Eden however HAAAAAAAAAAAAATES it here. To the point of being sort of mildly agoraphobic. They desperately desperately desperately want to go back in time, to when everything was fine (lie. their parents sucked enough to ditch them) and they were happy (another lie) They hate seeing what this town has done to Esmee, who they try to remember as having been Happy and Innocent until this filth town Ruined her. And as much as they'd both have you believe - and try to have themself believe otherwise, they do feel the town corrupting them sometimes.

They deal with that and various other issues of theirs by throwing themself fervently into the temple and indulging in mountains upon mountains of self-deception. They're very good at it. In truth, a lot of their worse impulses would be there anyway, but they find it much much easier to just... Blame it all on the town. (Certainly not on their repression or on the really unhealthy worldviews and relationships they've developed to sustain themself off of) They're only an initiate, so they don't know a whole lot of temple lore, so they do sometimes find themself cooking up strange little crackpot theories about why the town is the way it is. They sort of hate themself for being too "weak" to be able to save up enough money to get themself and Esmee out of there tbh. Not very good at making any money at all.
