Batfam and Danny, Part 11

A few hours later.

The JL had finished debriefing after their raid on Luthor's lab, Most members had returned to their homes, but some still remained at the Watchtower to do some work.

Clark: Danny!

Danny: Hi Clark, back so soon?

Clark: Yes, I brought my family with me.

Danny: Kryptonite weakness removal?

Clark: Yes, if you don't mind.

Danny (getting up): Not at all.

Clark: Everyone this is Danny, Bruce's grandson, aka Phantom.

Danny: Hi.

Clark: These are my sons, Kon-El and Jon-El.

Kon: Hey.

Jon (flying over to Danny and giving him a hug): Hi, it's so good to meet you! Damian talks so much about you. He really likes to have someone to teach swordsmanship.

Damian: Damian also talks a lot about you, he really likes talking about how great of a best friend you are.

Jon: Yeah Damian's a great best friend too.

Clark: Jon, give Danny some room to breath.

Danny: Don't worry, I don't need to breath.

Clark: I- never mind. This is my cousin Kara Zor-El, and her kids Otho-Ra-El and Osul-Ra-El.

Kara: So you're the kid that eat a shard of Kryptonite?

Danny: It was delicious!

Kara: There is something about the House of Wayne that makes you children a little feral.

Danny shrugged

Otho: It's good to meet you Phantom. You may call me Octavia.

Osul: And me Oscar, unlike our relatives we care about our secret identities and don't use our Kryptonian names as our Earth names.

Clark, Kara, Kon, Jon: ...

Danny: Yeah... that's a bit of an oversight.

Kon: I-

Otho: A one letter difference doesn't count.

Osul: Honesty, Kon and Con.

Clark: I- I did not bring the two of you here to judge me.

Lois: The kids has a point.

Clark: And this is my wife Lois.

Lois: Hi. Not Kryptonian so I don't need any healing.

Kon: So you can just heal our weakness to Kryptonite?

Danny: Yup, if you guys could just stand still. Danny made his way through each of them snapping his fingers. There you go, that should due the job.

Bruce: Let's see. Bruce reached into his toolbelt and took out a small shard of Kryptonite. Here you go.

Kara: You just keep Kryptonite, on your person?

Bruce: Clark gave it to me.

Clark: I give all the Kryptonite I find to Bruce for safe keeping.

Kara: I knew that, I just didn't expect he'd just carry it around at all times. Anyways let me see. She picked up the shard of Kryptonite and fiddled with it. Hmm nothing. Clark. She threw the shard to Clark who likewise felt nothing. They proceeded to pass the shard to each other till it returned to Kara.

Kara: Yeah, this thing is useless.

Danny: Does that mean I can eat it?

Bruce (looking at Danny): I'll like to keep it for research if you don't mind Clark.

Clark: Sure thing I gave them to you for a reason- oh... guess your contingency plans won't work anymore...

Bruce: Yeah, I'm already working on a way to harvest the power of an artificial red star in a small easy to carry object. So don't sleep too soundly.

Clark: Yeah that's fair. Let's go I'll help you.

Some time passed, Bruce and Clark were working on Bruce's plan to make an artificial red sun, Kara, Otho, and Osul were sunbathing on the outside of the Watchtower, and Danny, Kon, and Jon were just chatting.

Danny: Wait there's something that doesn't add up. If you're 12 and your parents are 34, then that means they had you when they were-

Jon: 22, yes.

Kon (laughing): Mom and dad, and uncle Jimmy, graduated from high school when they were 16, and college at 19. They all started working at the Daily Planet shortly after that, that's when they all met. Mom and Dad quickly became close and then a few years later during a workplace party, mom and dad both had a little too much to drink and nine moths later my little brother here was born, a few weeks before our parents turned 23.

Clark (who walked over): Yeah Ma and Pa were a little upset about me having a kid so young, but they were a massive help during Lois' pregnancy and with Jon as a baby.

Lois (laughing): My dad on the other hand almost marched over to Clark's apartment with a shotgun when he found out.

Clark: I don't think he's ever fully forgiven me.

Lois: Nonsense he loves you!

Jon: Look if anything I get to brag to Damian that I'm 10 days older than him. It makes him so mad.

Danny: Yeah I read about the circumstances surrounding Damian's birth. Look, I've never meet Talia al Ghul, I'm sure she's a smart person, but if you're going to seduce someone to get blackmail out of them, don't get so involved into the conversation that you end up drinking so much, that you end up having a drunken one night stand.

Bruce: I really should have kept track of how much we had both been drinking, but Talia knew how to hold a conversation. That was an interesting night nonetheless...

Kon: How about the night of the pink Kryptonite incident from 8 years ago?

Bruce and Clark: WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT!

Danny: ...

Lois: Still can't believe you threw the pink Kryptonite into a black hole rather than keeping it for us to use.

Clark: And I can't belief that's what you decided to focus on.

Lois: What? I can't blame you for what happened, we had never come across pink Kryptonite before, so you and Bruce went to test it in a safe isolated environment. None of us could have predicted that it would do what it did, let alone that it would indirectly have the same affect on non-Kryptonians. The whole thing was nothing more than an accident.

Danny: What did it do?

Bruce and Clark: NOTHING!

(Master Post)

Just a few notes from the author:

In this AU Otho and Osul are not Phaelosian but Kryptonian. They also survived the destruction of Krypton.

Clark arrived as a baby 34 years ago.

Jon was born 12 years ago.

Kara arrived on Earth 7 years ago, at age 16, is now 23.

Kon joined the family 6 years ago (then biologically a 14 year old) is now 20 years old.

And Otho and Osul arrived on Earth 2 years ago at 14 years old, they are now 16, and were adopted by Kara.

p.s. I kinda messed up the timeline a bit with the ages, I wanted Bruce to adopt Dick when Bruce was 24 and Dick 14. In the present Dick is 25 and Bruce 34 (still hasn't turned 35). Then I decided to make Bruce and Clark the same age so Clark is also 34. Then I decided to make Damian and Jon 12 without doing the math that Clark and Bruce would have been 22 when they had them...

By the time I realized, I just decided that what happened happened and rolled with the idea.

Lastly pink Kryptonite in this AU basically causes the Kryptonian to develop a blinding level of lust for the first person they see, a feeling that can transferred to the person if there's any physical contact between them.

girlfriend-boyfriend

pairing | nick bosa x fem!reader

authors note | hi guys 😊😊 i am alive & well. life has been very crazy lately but i feel like i always return at this time of the year write a few fics then disappear sooo here i am again! i love nick and their is no fanfic for him on here :( yet again here i am writing fanfic for an underrated nfl player 😉 i hope you enjoy this i love you sm and hope you’re all well!!!! lmk if you want more or have any reqs for me pls <33333

you and nick had been seeing eachother for a few months now. you had meet through mutual friends and you instantly clicked. once the NFL season started he had you in a suite at every single game. you absolutely loved making friends with all of the players partners and watching nick play every sunday.

it was the last game before the super bowl that would determine if the 49ers made it or not. you and all of the girls had been on the edge of your seats the whole game. the 49ers were currently 17-24 against the detroit lions.

the lions had fumbled the ball and the 49ers got it back. purdy threw to kittle and got a touchdown then made the field goal making the score 27-24.

“oh my gosh!!! yes yes we still got it!” you screamed as you hugged claire who was george’s wife

“omg y/n i think we’re gonna make it!!!” she screamed back and you hugged eachother

“oh i know we are.” you said back to her intently watching the game

the 49ers had gotten another touchdown and then the lions got one 2 minutes later. the score was still 34-31 and the 99ers were in the lead. a few minutes of waiting for the clock to run out was the most nerve racking few minutes of your life.

“and the san francisco 49ers are going to the super bowl!!” the announcers had said causing mayhem to erupt in the stadium

“THEY DID IT!!!!!!!” you screamed to kristin and claire as you all hugged each other.

“HELL YEAH BABY WERE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWl!!!” kristin said excitedly

“let’s go see our men!!!” claire said as you all left the suite giddily to join your boys on the field

you felt like your heart was beating out of your chest as you walked on the field looking around for nick. you weren’t exactly an official couple but everyone knew you were together because you were always with him and he was always with you, but you never said that you were boyfriend-girlfriend.

“do you think he’s gonna ask you?” claire whispered in your ear as you were walking towards the boys. secretly she had known nicks plane as george had already told her but she would never ruin a surprise and a little teasing never hurts.

“what? uhh i don’t know….do you think he will?” you replied nervously as you looked at her

“if he doesn’t ill have george kill him.” she said with a wink as you walked up to george, nick, and kyle

“oh my gosh i’m so proud of you!!!” you said with a big smile as soon as you saw nick in front of you

“couldn’t of done it without you watching of course.” he said with a smile just as big as he engulfed you in a hug

“i knew you could do it.” you whispered to him as you hugged him back. you were meet with silence for a moment as he just held you and rubbed his hand up and down your back

you had no idea that behind you george and claire had been scolding him to ask you

“so y/n..” he said as he slowly pulled away so he could look at you as he talked

“yes nicky?” you said using the nickname he hated but you loved calling him

“wanna come to vegas with me…as my girlfriend?” he said with a shy smile

“oh nick yes, i would love too!” you said happily as your lips meet with his.

“yeah buddy!!!!” george said from behind

“God finally. i thought i was gonna have to ask her for you…” christian said as olivia lightly pushed his arm

“YAY Y/N!!! you’re officially one of us now!!!!” kristin said as she and the girls also smiled

“alright alright! let’s go party and win this thing!!!” nick said causing everyone to cheer and disperse to party for the rest of the night

once everyone was gone you turned back to nick.

“is it too early to say i love you? honestly i don’t care because i do.” you said as you rested your chin on his chest

“i love you more y/n. forever.” he said as he leaned down to kiss you

“lets go party girlfriend…” nick said cheekily as he pulled away and stuck his arm out for you to grab

“sure thing boyfriend..” you said back with a big smile as you wrapped your arm around his and walked him to the locker room

Fluffebruary: Clingy Boyfriends

Written for @bucktommyfluffebruary

AO3 link

Barely passes the prompt smell test.

Buck was a 33, almost 34-year-old man, but he’d always be Maddie’s little brother. So when said little brother told her he was getting back together with the man who dumped him for no apparent reason and left him brokenhearted, Maddie tilted her head to the side, smiled a watery smile, and lied that she was happy for him. When his back was turned, gazing lovingly at his former ex, Maddie’s grin dropped, and the mist blurring her sight cleared. Fuck this guy. Fuck Tommy Kinard. 

She fully expected Tommy to catch her visible loathing of him and maybe look, not scared, but at least uncomfortable. But he was looking at Buck, pretending to be just as enraptured with Buck as Buck obviously was with him. Maddie wasn’t buying it, though, so she pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes, increasing her disdain. It didn’t work. Tommy remained oblivious. Chim wasn’t. He looked between her and the “lovebirds,” confusion evident. Finally, he leaned into her and whispered, “How ‘bout you take it down 10 notches?” He lightly poked her in the butt for emphasis, which made Maddie jump, turning the stink-eye on him. Chim raised his hands in surrender and stepped around her. “Well, I, for one, think this calls for celebratory donuts. You’re in for a treat, Tommy. Buck’s become quite a pastry chef.”

“I got to eat six from his trial batch yesterday. They’re amazing!” Tommy said fondly. “You’re amazing,” he told Buck, hands wrapping around Buck’s hips. He nuzzled the nape of Buck’s neck before being led by him into the kitchen.

Maddie rolled her eyes but followed because Buck’s donuts were amazing. Tommy better not touch the raspberry custard Buck made especially for her.  

&&&&&&&&&

Baby Kevin was being a bear about his two am feeding. She’d put him on her breast, and he’d fall asleep within minutes, but when she pulled him off to put him back in his cradle, he’d wake and scream, then they’d start the process over. They had cycled through the procedure six times that night before the baby fell asleep fed, and Maddie was exhausted. 

Quietly as she could, she slipped under the covers, but within moments, Chim was shifting around. “Turn over,” he whispered. Maddie obliged so Chim could cuddle up behind her. The tension she didn’t know she was holding loosened when his arm curled around her waist, but then she tensed at his words. 

“I think we should switch to formula at night.”

“No.”

“Maddie…”

“No,” she repeated. Maddie had a lot of regrets in her life, but not being around to feed Jee was pretty high up there. She wasn’t willing to lose that with Kevin. “Talk about something else,” she urged him. 

Chim sighed. She couldn’t audibly hear it, but the breath that blew across her neck clued her in. “Tommy and Buck, huh? How ‘bout that?” Inexplicably, she tensed even more. “So, I wasn’t imagining it,” Chimney said. 

“No.”

“He’s your brother, I get it, but they love each other.”

“No one said love,” Maddie pointed out, even though she knew that’s what it was on Buck’s part. God, she wished it wasn’t true. 

“Come on. All you have to do is look at them to know this is the real deal,” Chim cajoled.   

“For Buck? Yes. Tommy? I have my doubts.”

“Tommy especially.”

“Really?” Maddie lifted her head and gave her pillow an unnecessary punch. “He has a funny way of showing it. He left him once, Chimney. High and dry with no explanation. Tommy doesn’t deserve Buck.”

Silence settled between them. Maddie closed her eyes, pretending that all she had to do was clear her mind, and she’d fall fast asleep. Chim gave her middle a squeeze and sighed audibly this time. “The thing is, Mads, Tommy thinks so too.” Her eyes flew open. She was going to protest, but Chim beat her to it. “Just…watch them. Keep an open mind. I think you’ll see it too.

Maddie rolled her eyes. She didn’t think she would, but she lifted Chim’s hand and pressed a kiss to his palm. “I love you. Now stop talking.”

&&&&&&&&&

Maddie didn’t hate when Chinmey was right, but she sure as hell hated when she was wrong. It took less than a month for Maddie to realize she was wrong about Tommy. The man was absolutely stupid about her brother. They were dumb4dumb for each other, and she didn’t know whether to be disguised or jealous. The truth was it was a mix of both. 

They gazed into each other's eyes constantly. She wasn’t sure how they walked without tripping over each other.  If you looked up “simp” in the dictionary, there would be line drawings of her brother and Tommy. They were always touching each other. Tommy’s hand on the nape of Buck’s neck, around his shoulders, against his shoulder blade, running down his back, on a hip, stomach, thigh, knee, ankle, foot, and, yes, the top of Buck’s ass. There were even a few more X-rated sightings she’d be more than happy to forget, and the less said, the better. 

She would watch them cling to each other and wonder how she missed how handsy they were the first time around. Or maybe there was nothing to miss? Buck confessed one wine-drunk night that Tommy was right about Buck needing to figure himself out. His lip wobbled as he stared into the middle distance with glassy eyes. “It was when I told you I didn’t know which pond…,” Buck trailed off. His head tilted left. “…I was holding back publicly, but I didn’t…,” and then it tilted right, “but that was on me. And it wasn’t condemnation so much a statement of fact.” Maddie’s face scrunched up in confusion while Buck continued the bulk of whatever conversation they were having in his head. “It wasn’t about me; it was about him. I knew that. On some level, I knew that. See, that’s why it was so hard not to contact him!” Maddie nodded but realized she had no clue what he was talking about and switched to shaking her head. It wasn’t until the next morning, with a headache and cotton mouth, that he made it make sense. 

“I had no problem being affectionate, and when it came to having sex, I wasn’t nervous. It was perfect and right, and easy because Tommy made it easy. Publicly, though, all our time was spent in straight spaces, and I-I guess I had more hangups than I realized. And then I started to wonder why Tommy never took me to a gay bar or club and figured out it was because I never asked. My comfort always came first for him. He never pushed. My pace, my speed. I was calling the shots, and I didn’t get how far that extended until he was gone. So, I took his advice. After the wallowing and the baking, I went out and danced with men, kissed them, and touched them all in the presence of other men who were doing the same. Jesus, Maddie, I had no idea how freeing it would feel, which is crazy considering I never shied away from it with women. God, I could have missed my chance to experience it with someone I love!”

Buck’s face crumpled with emotion, and Maddie took the wine glass out of his hand and placed it on the coffee table. She wrapped her baby brother in a tight hug and held him until his breaths evened out. “You figured it out, honey. He came back to you, hopefully groveling,” Buck laughed at that, “and you worked it out. Now you can’t keep your hands off each other.”

Buck pulled back to look at her and asked, “Really?”

“Oh my gosh, yes! The two of you are always holding hands, or Tommy has his hand on your back or thigh. It’s disgustingly sweet, really,” she reassured him.

Buck laughed and fell against the couch, “I missed him so much. Even now, he’s an hour away, and my hand itches for his.”

&&&&&&&&&

Two weeks go by, and they have a family dinner. The Wilsons were invited, but they already had plans to take the kids out for dinner and a movie, so it was just them, Buck and Tommy. Buck was dragged to Jee’s salon so she could paint her Uncle Buck’s toenails. Chim and Tommy were in the living room watching some 90’s action movie while Maddie cleaned up from dinner. She loved the monotony of rinsing dishes and stacking them in the dishwasher. It gave her a chance for a bit of solitude and a break from trying to feed her finicky son. 

She had finally agreed to supplement with formula. She’d pump but her supply wasn’t as robust as with Jee. Admitting to that was hard, and she secretly believed it was cosmic punishment for walking out on her family, for letting her milk dry up prematurely. The guilt she felt vacillated between annoyance to unbearable, thankfully most days were manageable.

Maddie drained the sink and started the dishwasher. She turned off the 90’s pop playlist she was listening to and placed her earbuds back in their case. Her eyes swept around the clean kitchen, and she felt a stab of pride at seeing the results of her hard work. She moved to the living room to see how Chim was fairing with Kevin and was surprised to find her husband snoring softly on the couch while Tommy was feeding her son. She sat in an armchair, and Tommy shot her a skittish look. 

“Do you want him?” 

Maddie shook her head. “We have a rule. You feed him, you burp him. Thanks, by the way,” she said, nodding to Chim. 

“I was just going to hold him, but he—well, he started trying to nurse,” Tommy said and cringed. 

Maddie laughed. “It’s weird, huh?”

“A little,” Tommy admitted.

Feeling bold, Maddie asked, “Have the two of you…?” She nodded to Kevin, and Tommy’s eyes went wide. “Oh. Well, some, I guess.”

“You guess?” Maddie challenged.

“I could go either way. I can see what our family looks like with kids, but I could also envision it without. I told Evan he had four and a half years to figure it out.” 

“He’s not sure?” Maddie asked in surprise. She thought Buck would be chomping at the bit to start a family once he found his one, and he was pretty adamant that Tommy was it.

“Depends on the day,” Tommy admitted.

“Why the time frame?”  

Tommy shrugged. “I’ll be 45. I don’t want to still be raising kids while we should be enjoying our retirement.” 

“I’m 45,” Maddie pointed out. 

Tommy gave her a tight smile and pretended to go back to watching whatever dreck movie he and Chim picked out. She continued to watch him, with his handsome profile and big, beefy body, as he tenderly wiped a dribble of formula from the corner of Kevin’s mouth. The baby finished his bottle, and Tommy’s eyes cut to her, looking a little lost.

Maddie took pity. She got up and took the burp rag from Chim’s shoulder and laid it over Tommy’s. She perched herself on the coffee table and mimed how he should position Kevin. “Hike him over your shoulder and gently pat his back until he passes gas. It doesn’t really matter from which end.”

Tommy chuckled but followed her instruction. He began to tap the baby’s back but only with three fingers. Maddie realized he thought using his while palm might exude too much force, and that amount of care and forethought broke some of the steel inside her. “You’re in love with him.” It was a statement, not a question. Tommy replied with a definitive yes before she had finished humming the m in him. 

She nodded in acceptance. The reality of Tommy’s love was stark in the face of her initial doubt. His tapping on Kevin’s back stalled. He licked his lips and nervously asked, “Will you forgive me?”

Maddie thought about it and accepted the truth. “I already have.” She leaned in to kiss the top of Kevin’s head, and then, after a moment's hesitation, kissed the top of Tommy’s. “I’m going to get Buck. Maybe seeing you with a baby will kick up some of those parental feelings.” Maddie stood, and Tommy grinned up at her, his head giving a fondly exasperated shake. Maddie blew out a breath and felt secure that her son and her brother were in good hands.

Happy 1st Birthday Liliana!! 🥳

Part 5 -

———————————————————————

I wake up the second I heard Lilian crying. I look to see what time it is, 6:34 a.m.. I slide out of bed and open the door to see if anybody has gotten up, so far nothing, so I go ahead and make my way to Lilian’s room, opening the door seeing her sat up in the crib rubbing her eyes and crying.

“Happy birthday sweetie pie” I say walking over to her, picking her up, her crying automatically dying down as she looks up at me before laying her head on my shoulder. I go ahead and take her over to her changing table, laying her down, unzipping her onesie enough to be able to pull her diaper off. “Goodness girl” I said in a funny voice as she smiled at me. I smiled back, grabbing another diaper sliding it on, and zipping her onesie back up.

I pick her up and head out her door to come face to face with Mack. “I figured it would be you” she smiled at me as I smiled back

“Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself” I admit

“No, you’re fine, I’ll show you where her formula and everything is and good morning birthday girl” she said leaning over and kissing Lilian on the forehead before pointing me towards the stairs.

“If you want, you can go back to bed for a bit, I don’t mind watching her” I tell her

“I may take you up on that” she grinned sleepily as we made it into the kitchen, opening up a cabinet door to reveal the bottles and cans of formula. She pulled one of each out and sat it on the bar before getting it all started. While we waited for the bottle to warm up, we just stood in a comfortable silence waiting.

“Did you have a good time last night?” Mack smiles, crossing her arms

“Yeah, you were right, they were fun to be around” I tell her

“Oh yeah, they’re a hoot” she laughs, “thinking about giving Austin a shot?” She asks

“We’ll see” I say grabbing the bottle out of her hand

“That’s better than a no” she remarks “I’m gonna go try to get another hour or so of sleep if that’s okay?”

“Yeah, go, I got her” I smile walking over to the couch taking a seat, before turning on the tv, trying to find a decent cartoon, settling for Scooby Doo.

Once Lilian finished her bottle and a few snacks, we got down on the floor to play. Mainly just working on her walking. That’s when the guest bedroom door opens up, revealing a shirtless Drew that’s wiping his eyes.

“The tv didn’t wake you up did it?” I ask quickly, startling him

“What? Oh no, I didn’t even know it was on” he said putting his hand on his hip looking over at me, smiling when he realized I had Lilian.

“Okay good” I smile

“You want something coffee?” He asks me

“Yes please” I plead as he smiles heading to the kitchen.

After a few minutes he walks back in the living room handing me a mug, “you like a little milk, sugar, and carmel vanilla flavoring right?” He asks as I look up at him with wide eyes

“Uh.. yeah.. how’d —“ I started

“We talked about coffee that night too” he said taking a seat on the floor about a foot away from me, leaning back against the couch.

“Wow.. thanks, that’s sweet” I admit giving him a smile

“Sorry if that’s weird” he defended

“No no, just shocking a guy can actually remember something” I say and he smiles

“When you have good company, you tend to remember everything, even the bad” he says taking a sip as I turn my attention back to Lilian, taking a sip, watching Lilian crawl her way over to me, right into my lap.

“She really loves you” Drew smiles

“Are you kidding? She loves her uncle Drew, don’t ya kiddo?” I say holding her up to him making her smile real big, Drew smiling just as big in return.

“I hope when I have a kid, they’re as easy as she is, she’s the best baby I’ve been around” he says letting her take hold of his pointer finger leading her over to his lap

“Yeah, she seems to be really easy, I wonder how long it’ll last” I laugh making Drew nod

“Why do y’all look like a married couple and Lilian is y’all’s kid” Logan says making me and Drew both jump at his voice

“You scared me!” I said looking at him

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, I just walked out, and there y’all were, talking and looking at each other like a married couple with a kid in your lap, it was kinda cute but you’re my future wife, so” Logan explains making me laugh

“You’re right” I say agreeing sarcastically

“What are y’all doing anyway?” He asked us

“Just watching scooby doo, talking, and hanging out with Lil’s, what are you doing?” Drew asks

“Wanting some of that coffee, is there any more?” Logan asks as Drew nods making him rush into the kitchen

“He scared the shit out of me” Drew said making me nod

“I was half way expecting him to be hungover” I admit

“He tends to be fine once he wakes up most of the time” Drew says and I smile

“Lucky us” I grin

“No kidding” Drew laughs as Logan walks back and joins us on the floor.

“You look good this morning” Logan says looking at me

“You too Logan” I tease back

“Oh I know, I always look good” he jokes making me smile

“Without a doubt” I sarcastically agree

Logan gives me a playful dirty look before turning his attention to Drew, “What time is mom getting here?” Logan asks

“I’m not sure, call her” Drew suggests

“Ehh, I’ll give her some time” he says brushing it off as me and Drew both shake our heads.

~~~~~~~~~~

Eventually, Mrs. Jodi finally arrived, immediately pushing her own boys out of the way to give me a hug before going to find Mack and Liliana.

“So even my mom likes you more than me” Logan rolls his eyes pushing me away playfully

“Don’t be jealous, I can’t help she loves me more” I joke, sticking my tongue out at both of them making Logan scoff while Drew just laughs.

We go back into the living room, Liliana sitting on the floor playing, now with Mrs. Jodi, while Mack is taking a break from decorating to talk to her mom for a bit. I go to take a seat on the couch which is quickly followed by Drew and Logan, Drew sitting in the middle.

“What do I need to do?” Mrs. Jodi asks Mack

“Nothing right now, got a few more things to put up, nothing major, and then it’ll be on to the food and getting all that set up, but that’ll be closer to time. Besides they have been a major help” she says motioning to us on the couch.

“Now Maddie, I believe, but your brothers, I’m not so sure” she teased

“For Liliana” Drew smiles as Logan agrees

“That makes more sense” she laughs looking at her two boys, “Maddie, how are you honey? Finally done with vet school?” She asks looking up at me

“Yes ma’am, one of the hardest things I’ve ever done but I believe it’s gonna be well worth it” I smile

“I know you’ll do great honey” she pats my knee before looking up at Drew with a look.. a look.. the look.. like she knows something… “boys, will you go get my bags out of the car and take them to my room” she asks then and they quickly get up and head towards the front door. “You have a little boyfriend yet?” Mrs. Jodi teases looking at me

“Oh no ma’am” I shrug

“Chase and Austin came over last night and Austin seemed to be VERY interested” Mack informs her

“Austin? Yea, he is a very sweet young man” Mrs. Jodi adds

“He’s okay” I somewhat agree with a slight smile

“Oh my gosh, just give him a chance, let the other guy go” Mack drags out

“Other guy?” Mrs. Jodi raises an eyebrow

“Maddie has been hung up on some random guy for years it feels like, and won’t give anybody else the time of day” she explains to her mom

“Well baby, you deserve the world, you’re an incredible young woman, and if you can’t allow yourself to be with somebody else, maybe finding this ‘random guy’ and trying to see what it could be, would be worth it for you” she says getting up to sit next to me on the couch.

“I can’t” I simply say

“What’s his name, I’ll do some stalking” Mack says, my eyes immediately going wide, shaking my head, “I’ll be right back, gonna get Lil’s some juice.” She says getting up and walking into the kitchen.

“Why do you feel like you can’t” Mrs. Jodi asks just as soon as Drew and Logan are walking through the house with her bags. Mine and Drew’s eyes meet for just a few seconds and when I look back over at Mrs. Jodi, I’m face to face with a knowing look.

“You know, don’t you?” I whisper, my face already getting red

“That you two snuck off, talked for hours, made out, and you ran off, yes ma’am I do” she smiles brushing a piece of hair behind my ear. “When you came back downstairs, you were freaking out, just trying to get to your uber, you told me ‘I kissed Drew, I’m sorry, Mack’s gonna be pissed, I got to go, I love you” really quickly and ran out like you were in shock, then when I found Drew, he told me everything”

“Mack doesn’t know right?” I ask quickly with begging eyes

“If she does, it’s not from me, so is it him that you’ve been so hung up on?” she asks me

“Cause she can’t know, we have that pact, ya know? And yes ma’am…” I answer and she nods

“I truly believe that Mack wants you to be happy, regardless of who it is” she smiles at me and I shrug just as everyone comes back into the living room, “I know I’m all for having you officially in this family” she whispers to me just as Drew and I make eye contact again, feeling my heart skip a few beats as he takes the chair a few feet away from me, slightly smiling at me.

~~~~~~~~~~

Closer we got to 4, the more kids we had running around the house and more of the cleaning we did, felt like a waste of time. Parents were standing around outside watching as some of their kids were in the pool while others were drawing on the concrete with chalk.

I was able to meet quite a few of Mack and Garrett’s friends that I haven’t got to meet, along with a few of the friends I met at their wedding. But, no matter what I was, Drew stayed within 3 feet of me at all times. His excuse was, “you may feel overwhelmed and if I can help, I want to” which was just another thing he was proving that he remembered about me saying that night; how I hated meeting lots of new people at one time and being the odd man out, but in this case, it’s all for Liliana.

Finally, after everyone has made their rounds on introducing each other, it feels a look like stressful. I was sitting on the side of the pool next to Logan, our feet in the water, just watching the kids, waiting for Drew to bring us a drink.

“You know when you move back, I get a key to your place” he says with full confidence making me laugh

“We’ll see buddy” I laugh

“It’d be for emergencies” he clarifies

“Anything is an emergency to you, especially if you can’t get your answer within 5 seconds” I point out

“Exactly, emergency” he says grinning making me shake my head.

“here’s your Dr. Peppers” Drew says handing us one before taking his seat back on the other side of me slipping his feet back in the pool.

“Drew, shouldn’t Maddie give me a key to her place for emergencies?” Logan asks making me throw my head back in light laughter

“You ain’t even got a key to my place, why do you need a key to hers?” Drew asks looking at him

“Incase something happens” he explains

“I can handle myself” I argue

“And if she needs anybody, she can call us, we’ll answer” Drew adds giving me a smile which I return

“If you’re just saying that cause you want to come see me at any time, just knock, I may or may not let you in” I giggle nudging his arm making Logan roll his eyes.

“See.. that’s just rude” he said making me and Drew laugh

After a while of just talking and laughing, Mack hollered for everyone to come sing happy birthday to our sweet Liliana. Mack brought out the cake for Lils while Garrett brought out the cake for everyone else. As soon as Mack sat the cake down on the high chair table, Liliana was already tearing it up making us all laugh, trying to get her to hold out for the song. But the moment she got her chance, she was back at it, getting startled when all the kids screamed happy birthday at the top of their lungs.

“Okay! Who wants cake!” Garrett yells and everyone comes flying up to him waiting for their slice.

Mack, Mrs. Jodi, and I were all just in awe of Liliana and trying to capture every moment of her with her first cake. I felt a hand placed lightly on my back, making me look back quickly, only to see Drew.

“I got you a slice” he smiles down at me

“Well thank you” I smile back, snapping a few more pictures before grabbing my plate from him, “she’s so cute” I tell him

“It’s the Starkey genes, I’m telling ya” he said making me smile

“I can’t even argue with that” I shrug

“Ohhh, so you think I’m cute?” He whispers

“Don’t get such a big head” I tease nudging my elbow into his side lightly making him laugh

“You said it, not me” he says

“Technically, you did” I point out making him think back of what he just said

“Shut up” he jokes, laughing, nudging me with his elbow, “you ready to go out tonight?” He asks me

“Yeah, I guess so, I ain’t been out to a bar in a while” I answer

“Mack said you were always the life of the party when y’all were in college together” He says

“Yeah, I was everywhere, always dancing, always finding a new adventure” I chuckle

“What kind of dancing to you do?” He asks

“Really any, but was always a sucker for some line dancing, went out when I first moved to Florida, found a great dancing partner, but then as classes got harder, I never went.” I explain and he nods

“Well maybe you’ll find a new dancing partner tonight” he smiles at me we lock eyes

“Yea, maybe so” I smile, putting my attention on the kids instead.

Once everyone got done eating, it was time for presents. By the time the last present was open, it felt like we were in a target aisle, there was so many toys. Some of the toys were opened and already being played with some most of them, were moved into the house for later.

“Can we fill these up please?” A little boy, that I’m pretty sure his name was Tyler, asked me holding a bag of water balloons. I glanced over at Drew and he nodded

“Cmon buddy, we’ll help you” Drew said taking his empty hand and leading the way to the faucet. I couldn’t help the feeling I got in my stomach watching him lead the happy little boy.

“Can you go find us a bucket please?” Tyler asked me

“Of course” I smile turning to go find something, that’s when my eyes land on the kiddie pool leaned up against the house in the corner. I go to grab it an drag it back over to the opposite corner of the yard, right where Drew and Tyler were waiting.

“Get her!” Drew yells before they both throw a water balloon at me, immediately busting the second they meet my body.

“Drew!” I yell

“It was his idea!” Tyler defended pointing at Drew making me laugh

“I know honey, but I’m gonna get bath of yall back” I tease

“I knew it was a bad idea” tyler said scratching his head nervously

“I’d love to see you try” Drew says winking at me as I put my hands on my hood

“Fill em up Starkey” I say pushing his head to face the faucet.

Once he gets majority of the bag done, I lean down and grab a ballon, looking at Tyler, putting my finger over my lips making him smile. I put the balloon right over Drew’s head and squeeze it tightly until it bust and soaks his hair and his shoulders.

“Maddie…” he says grabbing a few balloons as I start to walk backwards, taking off into a sprint as he stands up coming after me.

“WATER BALLOON FIGHT!” I hear Tyler yell as loud as he can, grabbing a few out of the pool and throwing it, making everyone laugh and cheer as they go to grab some.

“You threw one at me, what’s wrong with me doing it back” I yell back at Drew laughing as I feel another busted ballon by my feet, “ha ha, your ouuut” I say slowing down and turning towards him, “truce?” I ask as I feel somebody quickly slip a ballon in my hand that’s behind my back

“Truce” he says throwing his hands up coming closer slowly, “show me your hands”

I start to grin and quickly throw the water ballon towards him, landing on his chest. But just as fast as I turn to run away, I feel my body being picked up and immediately going into the pool. When we come back to the surface, we’re laughing, splashing water, and pushing each other away playfully.

“Truce?” He asks me holding out his hand

“For now, Yeah” I smile slapping my hand into his

“For now?” He teases

“Never know when I may need to throw another at you” I wink before pulling myself out of the pool, being thankful I did put on a swimsuit under my clothes.

~~~~~~~~~~

Once everything died down and everyone left, it was about 7:30. So, Mrs. Jodi told all of us to go get showers and get ready, that she had everything else handled.

I went to my room to got a quick shower. Blow drying and curling my hair afterwards. I decided on wearing my other pair of blue jean shorts, with a white cropped tank top, and a bluish green button up, with my cowboy boots.

“It’s me!” Mack yells knocking on my door before walking in, wearing some jeans and a strapless cropped tank top, “well you look cute” she says eyeballing me

“So do youuuu, do you think I should lose the boots or wear pants instead?” I ask her

“No, show Austin what them boots make you do, we’re going to the bar we used to always go to, so I know you’ll put those boots to work” she winked and I laughed, shaking my head, putting my other earring in.

“You ready?” She asks

“Yes ma’am” I say grabbing my phone, license, and some cash before following her downstairs where the boys are waiting. Drew was in black jeans, white tank top, and a short sleeve button up, the color very similar to the one I’m wearing.

“Y’all are almost twinning?” Mack laughs pointing it out as we just shrugged it off before piling up into Garrett’s truck. Leaving me in the middle between Drew and Logan.

“You look good” Drew whispers, smiling at me.

“Thanks, you too” I smile

“Chase and Austin are still meeting us there right?” Mack asks Drew

“Yeah, as far as I know” he answers

“Great, cause I can’t wait for all of y’all to see Maddie in this kind of environment. Especially Austin” she says as I look down, feeling Drew’s eyes on me.

Tonight is gonna be interesting..

[dvrcos]

I feel like Nicky is the one Wymack is most nervous to mic up, but trusts Matt & Dan enough to be sure they'll get something good from that. Allison, he knows what he's signing up for, so no one is surprised when she's as aggressive as Aaron. But I think it's Renee who surprises everyone (except Andrew).

When Renee gets mic'd up, everyone is expecting serenity. Peace. "Oh, that was a good pass" about the other team. "Come on, Foxes!" quietly chanted from goal. Maybe some prayers.

Instead, they get a constant stream, in a similar style to Andrew. They get screams loud enough the mic crackles. They get "YOU LITTLE BITCH" screamed at full volume multiple times. They get "Aw, the big baby got upset that the lil midget hit him? What are you gonna do, big guy? Cry and crawl back inside your mama?" when Aaron takes a swing at a guy twice his size. They get gamer-girl-playing-with-a-group-of-boys-who-don't-go-easy-on-her level trash talk. They get hopes and wishes for players to drop dead or go to Hell and burn for eternity. They get angry shouts. They get swearing with 0 filter. They get death threats. They get detailed fantasies about gutting people like fish or of where she'd like to break their bodies.

Wymack is shocked. The audience & fans are eating it up because Renee walks off court with a serene smile and is sweet as sugar. When the other Foxes watch it back, they're all speechless because.... is that THEIR Renee?????? Are we sure???? Because it's easy for them to forget she grew up in a gang & testified against her former found-family. Andrew is the only one who isn't surprised because that's the version of Renee he spars with.

Wymack decides Nicky and Allison can get mic'd up as much as they want. All of the cousins can get mic'd up again. But Renee is banned from doing it again.

Neil gifts her a bar of soap to clean her mouth out with.

THIS !!!!

This was an absolute joy to read and you’re so correct, I have no notes

I can also imagine her being like “thoughts and prayers” in the most passive agressive way possible. The Foxes win and she’s like “I’ll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers tonight, I know that was a tough one for you” and she has the most menacing smile ever that actually shakes the other team to their core.

Also Renee knowing like 101 ways to seriously maim someone and when one of the Foxes gets hurt she just shouts a number at them. She’s been doing it for a long time and none of the Foxes knew why. When they’re listening back to her recording they hear her shout a number and then mumble to herself what that maiming technique is. And they all are just like OH. So it’s a lot more intimidating and meaningful when they hear her shouting numbers on the court from then on.

Andrew very quickly memorizes the list as well and offers her his opinion on which one he would’ve used when she gets off the court.

“22 was a better option”

“Yes but 54 is more creative” And just smiles at him.

The other Foxes also start to remember some of what each number means. They feel especially honored when she wips out certain numbers in defense of them.

Renee shouting from across the court “34”

The Foxes “Oooo, you’re fucked dude. Good luck!”

pumpkins and puzzles: nico hischier x devs!reader

tagging: @ivy-34, @francesfarhadi, @hzstry8, @cixrosie, @itsnotgray, @estapa94, @trevs-swiftie, @heartz4hisch

after you and nico announced your pregnancy to the team, it seemed that a lot of the boys planned on setting you up for becoming a mother.

“jack rowden hughes, stop running around with those scissors!”

“timo, stop dipping simon’s finger in the candle wax!”

“has anyone seen john?”

“yes dougie, we all know you’re the devs social admin,”

these were all things you said within five minutes.

the team had come around for a little fun pumpkin carving activity. you and nico thought it might a good idea for the boys to relax.

the two of you also thought it would be a nice way to reveal the gender of your baby to the group.

“okay. now that all of you are finally sat down we can start the carving!”

“inside your pumpkins, y/n and i have put little pieces of a puzzle for you guys to make so keep an eye out for that,” nico added.

you and nico sat by the team as they carved their pumpkins and searched for their puzzle pieces.

timo put himself in charge of making the puzzle as he placed his pumpkin on the ground.

“scheiße!” (fuck) timo exclaimed.

the other boys turned to timo, confusion written all over their faces.

timo didn’t tell the boys anything as he got up and hugged you and nico. jonas peeked over to look at the puzzle before he too hugged his best friend.

“umm what’s going on?” jack asked.

the middle hughes brother then hurried over to timo’s spot and squealed when he saw the gender written on the puzzle.

“no way!” he repeated, jumping up and down around you and nico.

the rest of the guys hurried to catch a look at the puzzle before they all joined you in a group hug.

once they calmed down, the boys had all begun talking about who your daughters favourite uncle was going to be, timo, and what they were going to buy her once she was born.

“wait. does that mean there’s going to be a mini y/n running around here soon?” john asked.

Siobhan: "Put it on the board. Put it on the board!"

Brennan: "You find-"

Gorgug: "A for Adaine."

Brennan: "You find-"

Adaine: "That's my name! What?"

Fig: "I think it's the information, not us." 😭✋

Gorgug: "Oh, well, how holistic is it?"

Adaine: "Catch up. Stop thinking about-[inaudible]"

Riz: "I texted you this stuff, man!" 😭✋

Gorgug: "Got it." 💀💀

Brennan: "What you see is, there is the beginning of a text that is written- and I think that... Adaine, go ahead and give me one more- give me actually, an Arcana, 'cause you rolled History. Give me an Arcana real quick."

Siobhan: "I did roll History...23."

Lou: "Sexy." 😂💀

Brennan: "You are able to point out- you know that what you're looking at is not a spell. But Adaine, you're familiar that there's lots of kinds of magical writing that are not spells. There's ways of annotating things that are magical laws or precepts, and what you are seeing here is a dually arcane and religious axiom of magical law of Spyre. And what you see is it says, "Obliviati Mori."

Emily: "Remember you will die? Or forget you will die?!" (👀👀)

Brennan: "Clerics call it Obliviati Mori, but you see that as an arcane rule, it is called the Law of Theothanatic Silence."

Siobhan: "So that's when a god dies, you forget their name."

Brennan: "Yes. But you see that he's writing down all the mortal stuff you already know. When a god dies, you forget their name. When a god dies, they're scrubbed from existence. When a god dies, da da da da da. But you guys also know that for all that being said, 'Yes!' is dead because nobody believes in it, but people remember 'Yes!', right?"

Siobhan: "Oh, we all remember 'Yes!'." 😭✋

Brennan: "You all remember 'Yes!'."

Zac: "I'll never forget that thing."

Siobhan: "They had a cogent philosophy that we comprehended deeply."

Ally: "Maybe we should forget, though." (😭😭✋✋)

Fig: "Just to be clear, when I was talking about becoming a paladin, it was for 'Yes!'." (😭😭✋✋)

Kristen: "Wait, what? No, no!" 😭✋

Adaine: "Wait, for 'Yes!' or for 'Yes??'" 💀💀💀

Zac: "I'll never forget that thing sliding out of-" 😭✋

Ally: "Yeah, sliding out of that hole." 😭✋

Siobhan: "Just so wet."

Murph: "That thing getting pooped out of space." 😭😭✋✋

Brennan: "Basically, there is an intense series of rules and restrictions, but you see this rule doesn't apply to mortals. It applies to the gods."

Siobhan: "Oh! So the gods also forget the name?!"

Brennan: "They do not."

Siobhan: "Oh! And that's why we remember Yes!, 'cause we're all gods!" (😂💀 IMAGINE! 😂💀)

Brennan: "You're all gods! Obliviati Mori is a precept that binds deities to not evangelize or even speak of fallen deities to mortals. In other words, it's written out as a precept of basically like, if a god succumbs to some form of death, they become archfey, they become a demon or a celestial rather than a full deity, if they only have a few dozen followers and another god kills them and they don't have the strength to withstand that, or if literally, in the most extreme cases, their name is fully forgotten, other deities are not allowed to effectively remind mortals of their existence."

Siobhan: "So does that mean that the person who wrote the note that is supposed to be from Lucy was actually a god?"

Brennan: "It makes it very unclear who could have written that. Because you're in this weird position where you guys can all write Yes!, you can write Cassandra. This god is one whose name has actually been forgotten or scrubbed by every single mortal."

Remember the DnD AU? A record of the time Shadow Milk truly became a permanent resident of the Box during the introduction of Golden Butter Cookie, with him doing literally everything he can think of to keep Golden Butter Cookie directly involved in the plot, and the Dice Gods being on his side because they find it hilarious. Reader Cookie does not.

Requested Prompts #34 - ✦

" So let me get this straight." You say, removing your hands from your face for a second to stare at one of your belovedly detested table members for this session. " You want to abandon the plot I've set up so far... So you can stay in the toy-box?" " That's exactly what I'm doing! Glad to see you understand Reader!" Shadow Milk chirped from his seat at the table, his hands clasped together sweetly. " ... And somehow, you actually rolled high enough on persuasion to let Golden Butter Cookie let you stay." You stated, staring dumbfoundedly at the natural twenty that Shadow Milk had rolled. And that plus his modifier... actually cleared the clear condition you set. " Yep! Nat 20 baby." Shadow Milk hummed with a smug tone and a snap of his fingers. You searched for a shred of solace from the others at your table. Only to be met with indifference. " I mean, if Shadow Milk leaves the party, it won't make that much of a difference as to what's going on." Mystic Flour supplied, to which everyone agreed with. " If he so wishes, then let the guy stay with his muse... Or as he said so in-game himself." " Okay- Okay, fine. You can stay in the toy-box, but you'll have to make a new character for the campaign." You sigh exasperatedly. " Because in case you have forgotten, the cult is still a big problem on Earthbread. And you guys sorta have to take care of that." " Oh," Shadow Milk paused. " Well, shit. Can I try to convince Golden Butter Cookie to come help us instead?" You stared at him. " You just wanted Golden Butter Cookie to stay in the campaign longer, didn't you." You bluntly question him, to which, after a moments hesitation, he confirms with a nod. You sigh, " You do realize that I based Golden Butter off one of my friends, right?" You tell him, almost taking a bit of delight in the way Shadow Milk's jaw drops. " Wait- wait hold on... SHE'S REAL???" He exclaimed in such a flabbergasted manner that it caused you to burst out laughing. " Yes??? You didn't know?" You said between your giggles, taking joy in the new color coating your friends face. " And yes, I have been telling her how's you've been totally enamored with the DnD version of her." You took an almost sadistic joy in seeing Shadow Milk's embarrassed state. You supposed that you'd wait to tell him that she found his little antics endearing.

modern day AU

the two most important people in Cora's life - his older brother and the young adult he took care of - are hellbent on hogging all his attention

small snippet under the cut

Cora: bursts into the room Guys, I've got news! Doffy & Law at the kitchen table: *no reaction* Cora: presenting his phone with a pic of Belle-mere I've got a girlfriend! :D Doffy & Law: necks audibly cracking from turning to Cora so fast Doffy: You've got a WHAT. Cora: A girlfriend! I asked her out…uhm, well, actually it was her that asked in the end, I got too nervous Doffy: That one chick from your work? Really? Law: glares And you…said yes? Cora: nods of course! I like her! She's pretty and nice, and she's really tough too! Doffy: Rosi. grips him by the shoulders What the fuck are you talking about, you're way too young for this. Cora: …Doffy, I'm 34. Doffy: waves Yet still inexperienced. So you really think you could handle a woman like that? She'll just walk all over you, use you as a doormat! Cora: What? No, she's really sweet and caring and- Law: I agree with Doflamingo. For once. Doffy & Cora: both look in surprise down at Law What!? Law: Corasan, you should dump her. She doesn't deserve you, Cora: Wait, hold on, wait, wait- Why are you two so against me having a girlfriend? Law: I'm not against you having a grimaces…partner. I just think she's not good enough for you, Corasan. Doffy: What the brat said. grins Trust me, Rosi, I know a maneater when I see one.

Law: That's not it, Corasan! We - well, at least I - am concerned about you. Cora: Concerned? Doffy: That bitch is gonna break you, Rosi. Law: nods You don't need a girlfriend at all, Corasan. That's just gonna end in heartbreak. I don't like that. Cora: sighs This is ridiculous. Are you two even listening to yourself? I'm old enough to make my own decisions! I'm an adult!

Law: Yeah, on paper. Cora: Law…frowns Doffy: grins Look, Rosi, nobody knows you better than I do and what I do know is that this woman is gonna make you unhappy. You should just stick with the life of a bachelor, it suits you better. Cora: grumbles Just because that's what you like… Doffy: What was that? I just value my freedom, you see?

Doffy: Rosi, really, dump that bitch hugs Cora and looks up at him as well For me? Pretty please? Cora: You know, it's a lot less cute when it's you who's doing that… Law: Corasan! Doffy: Rosi! Law: Corasan! Doffy: Rosi! Law and Doffy both tug on him, pestering Cora: S-stop! Hey! What's gotten into you two!? Law: Why do you even need someone else!? It's already a chore having to share you with Doflamingo of all people- Corasan, you should just get your own apartment, you don't need to stick with that asshole… Doffy: Rosi, after all that I have done for you? Let you live at my place? Borrow you money? Practically raised you all by myself?? Even let that stupid brat you picked off the streets live with us??? And that's your thanks!? Cora: overwhelmed What do you want me to do!? Split myself up in half!? I'm not living just to please you both! Law & Doffy: silent for a short moment Law: All we're asking is for you too leave her. That's all! Doffy: You should know where you belong. Cora: …sighs Cora: I hate it when you two agree on something. It's the worst. Alright then. I know you two just worry and I appreciate it. I just got together with her and this will be messy, but if it matters so much to you… Law: It does. Cora: …I will break up with her. his expression solemn Happy now? Doffy: grins & throws an arm around Cora That's a good boy! You finally came to your senses! Law: visibly relaxes, even smiles a bit Corasan, thank you. Cora: … [this is by far not the first time he has had to do something like this for the sake of the two]

Nate 38 x reader 34

The media paints Nate as a bad guy from Stockton California but in real life he has a soft side and reader his wife shows it to the world after the media says he’s a bad father figure for his kids.

Sad fluff?

I’m a sucker for sad, angsty fluff

Softie

* English is not my first language I apologise

* Gif is not mine

* Triggers; Swearing, Sadness and fluff

Y/N POV

Nate just had his boxing fight against Jake last weekend and the internet was blowing up as usual about him being a bad guy from the hood who can’t even throw a decent punch. I liked to see that he won that fight but Nate does things differently than me and that’s okay, I hundred procent support him but sometimes I wish he didn’t do things differently than the rest.

He was lying on the sofa, holding an ice cream cone in his hands. “I’m not going to eat it, I promise.” He says with a mischievous smile, NJ slowly nodded and turned around to grabbed his Lego as he did that Nate quickly took a lick of it. He turns around and walks over, giving Nate the Lego and grabbed the ice cream cone back from him. “You promise?” Nate nods and NJ looks closely at his ice cream. “Okay, I trust you.” NJ sits down and licks his ice cream.

“Daddy!” Nikayla yells as Nate comes back from the toilet. “Yes baby girl.” He picks her up and she giggles, placing a kiss on his cheek. “What’s that for?” She giggles again. “Nothing.” She answers back and gave him another kiss on his cheek. I was looking at them and felt happy and proud of our little family we created. “Mommy?” NJ says as he climbs up to sit down on my lap. “Yes?” He throws his arms around me and hugs me. “I love you mommy.” I hugged him back and gave him a kiss on his head. “I love you too.”

I was scrolling through my social media as I was laying in bed and saw people claiming that Nate is an awful person,that he’s shit, a bad husband and mostly a bad father figure for his kids. I felt insulted and angry when I was reading those messages. “What the hell.” I mumbled. I didn’t noticed that Nate already joined me and was looking at my phone, reading those messages as well. “What the fuck are they talking about.” I jumped at his sudden appearance and immediately lay my phone down on my lap. “Nathan…you scared me. I didn’t know you were already in bed.” I tried to laugh about it but He didn’t looked happy at all. “Why are you reading that.” I shrugged and lay my phone away on my nightstand. “I don’t know, it just caught my eyes.” I turned back to him and moved closer, snuggling up to him. He wrapped his arms around me, placing a kiss on my head. “Just stop reading that crap…” “I will.”

I woke up by an unusually sound, as someone was trying not to cry too loud. I turned around and saw nates back facing towards me, his shoulders were shaking a bit. ‘He’s crying…’ my heart dropped and I moved closer to him, wrapping my arms around him. He froze and I kissed his back. “It’s okay honey.” I whispered, not wanting to wake up the kids. His hands wrapped around mine and squeezed them gently. “I’m okay.” He whispers back. “You sure?” I asked as his voice sounded like he was still crying. He shook his head and I hugged him from behind. “It’s okay.”

He eventually turned around and hugged me close to him, holding me tightly. “I’m not a bad father…right?” His hands softy moved over my back. “Of course not, they love you. Nate I love you.” I was looking at him, he looked sad and scared. “Baby, what’s wrong.” I cupped his face and he shook his head as tears were falling down again. “Are you afraid that we leave you? Baby I’m not going anywhere without you.” He slowly nods and I wiped his tears away. “I love you.” He says with a lot of emotion. “I love you.” I pressed my lips against his and kissed him with full passion and love. His arms locked around my waist, afraid I would disappear.

My instagram post got viral and people were commenting about it. “Babe…” Nate says as he makes me some breakfast. “What?” He shook his head and smiled at me. “I love you, you know that right?” I nodded and wrapped my arms around his waist. “I know, I love you too.” I pecked his lips and he grabs my chin, placing a proper kiss on my lips. “You’re the best.” He says and looks over at the eggs that he was making for me. “I’m happy I’m doing this life with you.” I said and he looks back at me. “Baby….i would do this life over and over with you.” I giggled and kissed his cheek. “What did the Stockton cutie say?” I joked and he rolls his eyes at me. “I’m being romantic here for you and you think I’m joking or some shit.” He flipped the eggs as he shook his head at me. “Sorry Mr diaz.” I saw him smiling but covered it up quickly. “Sit down mrs Diaz and eat your food.” He pointed at the seat and scooped the eggs out of the pan. I sat down and waited for him to give me a plate. “Here, shut up and eat.” He says jokingly. I saluted him and eat my food. “Saying I’m a cutie, pff…” he mumbles and sits down as well. I looked at him and he gave me a wink, telling me he’s joking. “Sorry, I called you a cutie I obviously meant to say Stockton’s biggest simp.” I let out a small laugh and he shook his head. “Sure whatever.” I squeezed his hand that was lying on the table. “I love you Mr Diaz” “I love you too mrs Diaz.”

The Flower That Bloomed Nowhere Read-through | Part 1: Chapters 1-14

Part 1: 1-14 | Part 2: 14-22 | Part 3: 22-34 | Part 4: 34-64 | Part 5: 64-80 | Part 6: 81-90 | Part 7: 90-100 | Part 8: 100-127 (caught up here)

Hi!!!! I've been reading through this webnovel after seeing @ot3's pitch for it and started writing down some thoughts on the characters and worldbuilding and imminent murdering. This story is very, very long and I only reacted up to about chapter 33, so most of my thoughts will involve the worldbuilding and less the murder mystery aspect -- so if you're looking for theorizing you won't find much of that here. Since I'll be continuing eventually, I wanted to post what I did make note of to revisit later!

Most of these are not marked by chapter/section because I was lazy and I'm not sure how easy it will be to follow as a result, but everything is chronological.

everyone here is hijabi mashallah

The visual I'm getting of the solar system/local system/dimension they inhabit is kind of a blend of steampunk and fantasy and uhh some secret third thing. With the walls of their "universe" painted in that puella dollhouse witch lair style. Does the sun bounce around like a screensaver. Does it orbit their earth or is it on a fixed axis flung out into “space”? Does “space” even exist anymore? I’m assuming they’re in an enclosed area that they've created. Do they actively use arcane resources to keep objects (ie star and planets) sustaining themselves, or have they made them self sufficient?

everyone is so mean to Ptolema leave her alone what the fuckk let a bimbo live i want to kill you all you’re so annoying. Ptolema I WOULD be your friend and not ask all these weird ass questions. and we would hold hands and skip and giggle

Yes shes an airhead nepo baby but you guys could try doing anything other than snickering and rolling your eyes whenever she says stupid shit. If she starts arguing back about government war crimes during the Revolution or something then you have my blessing to beat her ass!

I HATE kamsurepa i HATE her i HAYE Her and her stupid ass name

Ran and Su have no chemistry its insane that theyre always hanging out every conversation is like uhhh (awkward silence) (rude comment from Ran) *Su voice* wow she gets me so well. every time they talk im like what the fuck just happened.

Su’s internal narration is too self aware for me. it’s like she talks like she knows she’s a character? or something. it's self-deprecating in a very bizarre way

im sorry i don’t know if i can continue with this. i know too many med students irl and these characters are literally pissing me off. compliments to the author for realism you knocked it out of the park

Oh, thank you very much!" Kam said, reverting back to her smiley-diplomatic form for a moment before stepping away from the counter and continuing as she handed us the cards. "...as far as it seems to me, the desire to reproduce is essentially an immature form of pursuing life-extension - this idea that you'll 'live on through your children' that's patently pseudo-mysticism justifying what is ultimately an animal instinct." ⬇️ I’m going to grab her ginger head and swing her around like bowser in mario 64. SHUT UPPPPP SHUT UP please tell me shes the one that dies

You know," I mused idly, my eyes wandering. "I think this is actually the fourth glass ceiling I've seen today." "Mm, it's true that you don't see a lot of women working in Aetheromancy," ⬇️ I know this is a small nitpick but aren’t we really far into the future why do they keep using terms like this 😭 gendered stuff like this still exists billions? trillions? of years into the future?

Why has the disco elysium skill tree randomly started talking to su. Is this her future self nagging her. Is she pulling a han sooyoung. when do we get to the various utsushikome ego deaths

"prosognostic overlap"…do ppl repeat faces? Are most people cloned at this point? What triggered the need for cloning surely medicine is advanced enough that childbirth or test tube babies are feasible? Can bodies be cloned and reinhabited to inhibit aging? Is there some disturbing psychological element to seeing someone with the same face as you? Does it make your brain short circuit? Kam mentioned having children earlier which I assume means people still give birth or have test tube babies, so i don’t know if it’s the result of cloning…but it does sound like a sameface sort of thing. What else would it be if not that though?

Actually, if they’ve figured out teleportation (whatever it was called when they went up the aetherbridge) - let's say they can atomize a body and reforming it elsewhere (though we don't know for sure yet, could also be a fold in spacetime) - transferring consciousness to an empty clone of yourself (and therefore effectively doing away with aging or death wholesale) sounds a lot more efficient and technologically practical than maintaining an organic system that naturally decays. Why keep on finding ways to push the human body past its limits when you could simply transfer a person to a new, identical vessel?

I feel like the key to immortality isn’t maintaining an organic body, which naturally tends towards systems of entropy (being a biological thing, entropy=decay), but rather delineating and separating human consciousness from its host and replicating its original environment perfectly. I’m not talking about making a copy of consciousness, which is just glorified cloning - I’m talking about *transferring* a consciousness.

You could almost call dementia itself the mind's tendency towards its own kind of entropy?

Though if you transfer a consciousness to a younger body, the dementia issue could still potentially remain. Depends on if it the author sees it as a solely physical phenomena (atrophy/buildup of inhibitors of the brain) or there's some metaphysical anomaly about amassing too many memories/"existing" too long in general

The way spellwork is described is really cool and feels super believable. Optimizing multiple concurrent spells into one “function” is intricate and sophisticated, and you have to dedicate a lot of brainpower to doing the math in your head. It’s like they’re coding the real world. I love the way lurina describes this it's awesome.

gif not mine

Just as quickly as Maul’s shocked face appeared, it was gone as the huge double doors opened. The lights were off and then a spotlight appeared just at the threshold of the doors.

“And there’s the lovely parents to be!” Dasar announced as we stepped in, “Let’s congratulate them and celebrate their son!” 

Claps and cheers erupted from all the guests. I stole a glance up at Maul and found him already looking at me, wearing the faintest of smiles, making a huge one appear on my face. Maul didn’t smile in public, it just wasn’t his thing, especially not in front of all of these people. So knowing that it was me and our son that made him smile meant the world to me. 

Maul walked us closer to the top of the stairs, “Don’t let me fall.” I whispered. 

“Never.” 

We walked down to where everyone was waiting for us. When we got there we were met with a chorus of congratulations. All too soon though, I was approached by the other advisors. 

“We’re going to steal her for a bit.” One of them said to Maul. 

I gave him an apologetic look as they whisked me away. Once we were a little away from the crowd [NAME] began talking to me. 

“So first of all, congratulations. Are you excited?” 

“Thank you, and yes I am. Maul and I both are.” 

“So… I know this celebration was a no gifts thing, but we all still really want to do something for you. How do you feel about a baby shower? Just a small one with all of us?” Finnis asked. 

I smiled at her, “I would love that, but you guys don’t have to do anything for me.” 

“We want to though. Also clearly, we were all wrong… we really thought it was a girl.” [NAME] said. 

“So did Dasar. I don’t know why though…” I joked. 

“It’s a good thing it’s not a girl.” I heard a voice say from behind me. 

My face fell for a split second before turning stern and everyone knew to take a step back as I turned to speak with whoever had just said that. 

“Mr.Arkik,” I greeted with a fake smile, “How are you doing? Your wife just had your first baby if I remember correctly. How is she doing?” 

“She had a girl.” He said simply. 

“Oh, congratulations on your daughter.” 

“Hardly anything to congratulate.” He huffed. 

“Why is that?” I asked though I already knew the answer. 

“I wanted an heir. A son to take over for me once I am gone… I got a daughter. Which is why I wanted to speak with you… I was secretly hoping that you were carrying Maul’s son. I have a proposal for him… do you know where he is?” 

I sighed, “No, I do not. But whatever you have to say you can propose it to me, I am my baby’s mother after all.” I said. 

“I want to propose a marriage between my daughter and your son.” 

“No.” 

“Excuse me?” 

“I said, no. We will not be arranging a marriage for our son. He will choose if, when and who he wants to marry when the time comes. Who’s to say he will even want to marry a girl, I will not be forcing anything upon him.” I said firmly. 

“Well, how would he ever get an heir himself?” He shot back. 

I was really starting to get angry with him, “What do you mean?” 

“You have to be married, to produce an heir.” 

“Lord Maul and I aren’t married.” 

“I am aware.” His tone was extremely judgmental. 

“What the hell does that mean?” I snapped. 

Right about the same time Maul walked up. 

“Is there an issue here?” Maul asked, stepping up behind me and placing his hand on my back.

“There you are Lord Maul, we were just talking about you. I was hoping to get to speak to you tonight.” He said, his tone completely different now. 

“Who are you again?” Maul said, making me smirk slightly. 

“Lalri Arkik…” 

“Yes, Maul, don’t you remember the Arkiks? His wife, Soli, just had their first baby, a baby girl.” I cut him off. 

“Oh, congratulations.” Maul said, getting the hint. 

“Thanks. That’s actually why I wanted to speak with you. I have a daughter, you will soon have a son… I think a marriage should be arranged between the two of them.” 

“Absolutely not.” Maul said immediately. 

“Now, Lord Maul hear me out.” 

“I will not. I am insulted that you would even propose this to me, tonight of all nights… I think it’s time for you to leave.” 

“As you wish.” Lalri said, voice shaking. 

Two guards came up and escorted him out as I turned to Maul. 

“Well, that was lovely.” I said with a sigh. 

“Unfortunately he isn’t the only one with an arranged marriage on their minds.” Maul said with a slight frown. 

I won’t lie, hearing that upset me a little. Tonight was supposed to be about celebrating our son, the heir to both Crimson Dawn and the next Mand'alor. He wasn’t even here yet, and people already wanted me to make huge, life decisions for him. 

“Let’s just hope that he was last for the evening.” I said though I didn’t sound too hopeful. 

Maul offered me his arm and I allowed him to lead me away as we went and greeted more guests. It wasn’t even ten minutes later that we were approached by a Togruta man. I tried to rack my brain, but for the life of me, I couldn’t place him. I wasn’t sure if I even knew who he was. 

“Ah, there is the mother-to-be!” The way he said it made me squirm uncomfortable, gripping Maul’s arm a little tighter. 

Maul must have sensed my discomfort because he brought his other hand to rest on top of mine where they were holding onto the bend of his elbow. 

“Thank you for coming tonight.” I said, forcing a smile. 

“Well, it’s not like I had a choice.” He tried to joke, but neither Maul nor I laughed. 

“Tough crowd I can see,” the man spoke again before Maul cut him off. 

“Forgive me, but I cannot seem to place you… what is your name?” He asked. 

“Oh, I am Osta Bil! A little hurt you don’t remember me, I’ve worked for Crimson Dawn for many years now.” He said, clearly offended. 

“Crimson Dawn has many members, it is impossible for us to know every member by name.” I interjected. 

“Seems a little unsafe if you ask me. I mean for all you know I could be lying. I could be some assistor sent to kill you and the heir to Crimson Dawn.” 

Maul stiffened beside me as he spoke and slowly pulled my hands away from his arm then guided me to stand behind him as guards approached from every direction. Once the man noticed the guards, he put his hands up in surrender. 

“Hey! It was just a joke!” He said defensively. 

“Not a very funny one. You just threatened my son and his mother. What kind of sick, twisted man does that?” Maul seethed. 

“I am sorry, for the lapse of judgment on my end… I am a father too…” He said as if it would win him any favor at this point. 

“I don’t care.” Maul said. 

“You might though. I have a two-year-old daughter-” 

“She will not marry my son.” 

“How’d you-” Before he could finish his words two guards were grabbing his arms and hauling him out. 

In the mix of everything, Dasar had found me to make sure I was okay. When Maul turned around and saw that I was fine, his harsh gaze softened. 

“Are you alright?” 

I nodded. 

“Good… Dasar, we would like to make an announcement.” Maul said. 

“Of course sir, right this way.” He said, leading us back to the stairs. 

We didn’t go all the way back up them but high enough so everyone could see us. Once we were there, Dasar brought us the mic. When it turned on and everyone heard the slight feedback, everyone turned to us. 

“It appears that the purpose of tonight's celebration was not fully understood by some.” Maul began. You could tell by his tone he was pissed. 

“Not to be blunt but tonight was meant to be about Lord Maul and I’s child, our son. Who, need I remind you all is not only the heir of Crimson Dawn but he will also become Mand'alor when the time comes. He is to be respected by everyone here, and he has not been. A number of you have been disrespectful to him and I will not have it.” 

The plan was for Maul to deliver the message, but he had taken a step back and was allowing me to take over. 

“As selfish as it may sound, Maul and I are here to celebrate our child, not yours. It is wonderful that you have children to carry on your legacy, but that’s the point it is your legacy, not mine and lord Maul’s that you should be concerned about. If one more person tries to suggest that we choose to marry our unborn son to their daughter, you will be dealt with as we see fit for being disrespectful to our heir. He’s not even here yet and you want me to send it off? Shame on you.” I didn’t really realize how upset I was about it until I began talking about it. 

Once I was finished Maul stepped a little closer and placed his hand on the small back. The small gesture helped rein in my anger and I was grateful for it. 

“To elaborate, on what Lady Yn has said. I will deal with you personally if you try suggesting anything to us about our son.” Maul added. 

We descended the stairs and went back to mingling with the guests. Some people apologized for the others’ behavior which was a nice gesture. Luckily no one else tried suggesting we arrange a marriage with their children. 

As the night went on, I continued to thank our guests for coming. It felt like the night began to drag on as people finally began leaving. 

“It’s about time.” I mumbled to Maul as we sat up at the head table. 

“I agree.” He said with a small laugh. 

When the last guess finally left Dasar came up to bid us goodnight as well. I went to stand up to leave as well but Maul stopped me. 

“Wait.” He said. 

We sat silently as Dasar left then Maul leaned in really close. His hand came to my thigh. He carefully pulled the dress up until he got the hem high enough to slip his hand under it. He traced my thigh up until he gave me a pointed look. I knew what he was asking for without him even voicing it to me. I shifted a little to open my legs for him. His fingers ran through my folds gently before he retracted his hand completely. 

“You know you’re about to pay for this little stunt, you know that right?”
