AU: Journey to Redemption (Part 7)

Loving him was Red

Coriolanus Snow x Fem!reader

First Part. / The Winter Ball / Champagne Problems / Frost and Thorns / The Storm Within / In Silence, We Crumble / Loving him was Red

Summary: Y/N meets the mysterious woman again and ends up accepting a proposal from Coryo.

Warning(s): None, enemy to lovers, back in time, destiny, Snow being in love, Snow being Snow, possible grammar and spelling mistakes

Y/N was so hurried that, upon getting off the train, she barely noticed the mysterious woman waiting for her at the station.

"Y/N," the woman called, and she recognized her instantly.

"Sorry?" The woman's appearance, deeply engraved in her mind, evoked recent memories.

"How are you?"

"I have so many questions," Y/N said as she approached the woman, somewhat desperate. This month had been the most confusing of her life.

"I know, dear. Come with me." The woman guided Y/N to the quieter part of the station. "You can ask."

They sat close. Y/N wanted to know many things: the woman's name, if she was from the future or the present, what her future would be like, among others.

"Am I doing something right? Has anything really changed?" She didn't know if the woman could know that, but it was the question that tormented her the most. And it didn't seem like the woman would stay for long.

"Y/N, everything has changed since the moment we first saw each other." The vague answer didn't please Y/N. The woman noticed the girl's confused expression and added, "Everything I showed you happened over and over again. I know it by heart." The woman spoke as if it were something tiresome for her to repeat.

"Coriolanus wins the Games. He's intelligent and cunning. But the real game begins when he is sent to District 12 as a Peacekeeper. He tries to create a new life, a new image, but the past cannot be erased." The vision of Coriolanus shooting the birds resurfaced in Y/N's mind. She remained silent, allowing the woman to continue.

"He gets involved with Lucy Gray. A romance that seems destined, but things fall apart when Lucy discovers Coriolanus's role in the death of Sejanus Plinth, her best friend. Unknowingly, he sealed Sejanus's fate by denouncing him to the Capitol."

Y/N swallowed hard, feeling the weight of betrayal and tragedy. "He… he betrays his own friend?"

The woman nodded with regret. "Coriolanus's past haunts him, and Sejanus's shadow hangs over him. Lucy Gray, discovering the truth, can't overcome the betrayal. Their relationship crumbles, leaving Coriolanus with the weight of his choices."

Y/N was immersed in dark thoughts. "This is horrible. He condemned his own friend to death?"

"The line between ally and enemy, loyalty and betrayal, is thin in the Hunger Games and in the Capitol. Coriolanus, in his quest for survival, will pay a high price. But you, Y/N, have a role to play in all of this." Y/N's eyes widened in surprise.

The woman smiled enigmatically. "The future is woven by many threads, and each choice, each action, creates a new plot. You have the power to change things, to influence events. The question is: what will you do with this information?" Y/N felt a knot forming in her stomach. Faced with a crossroads, she understood that the choices she made would shape not only the destiny of Coriolanus Snow but also her own.

"I…" she murmured, "I don't know."

The woman reached out, gently touching Y/N's shoulder. "The answers will unfold at the right moment. Keep in mind that life is not just a dichotomy between black and white; it moves in shades of gray, where true choices manifest. Trust your intuition and strengthen yourself. When the boy is close, you will need to take a firm stand, without concessions. Treat him as the antagonist that destiny will turn him into. Don't tolerate his selfish actions, but also avoid closing the doors to the possibility of understanding. Find the balance between assertiveness and discernment, as it is in that space that true influences will shape the course of events."

Y/N involuntarily closed her eyes, and when she opened them, the woman was no longer there. Leaving Y/N alone with her reflections and the weight of the revelations she carried. The destiny, now, was more intertwined than ever, and Y/N felt the urgency to make decisions that could alter the course of events.

She then thought about what the woman said, about what ended Coryo and Lucy Gray's relationship. If she could prevent Coriolanus from betraying Sejanus, that could change everything. However, she wondered how she could achieve such a feat. She wouldn't have the possibility to follow him to the District after the Games. She needed to find a way to influence him before, to the point where, in addition to questioning the idea, he would choose not to betray Sejanus.

------------------------

Y/N woke up in her bed as usual, the events lingering in her mind like an enigmatic dream. She got up, changed her clothes, and noticed her nightstand. There was a glass of water with the two roses she had taken from the boy. She followed her morning routine and hurried out of her apartment towards the block of classrooms.

After class, she went straight to the study room, where she found only a blond boy sitting at one of the tables. She thought about leaving as quickly as possible, but he was already standing, calling her.

"Y/N!" The blond exclaimed, interrupting her.

Y/N didn't need to talk to him now; she wanted some time to think. Besides, she had slept very poorly that night.

"I need to talk to you." Oh, now he wanted to talk? A wave of nervousness washed over the girl. Did each of his calls demand an immediate response, as if ignoring them could unleash disastrous consequences? Her patience was about to run out, but if there was a chance to help the boy, it would be on her terms, staying true to herself. She decided to ignore the calls.

Coriolanus was faster, grabbing her arm, making her turn involuntarily. For a moment, she forgot that one step of the boy was equivalent to three of hers.

"I wanted to apologize," he said, like an orphaned puppy in a pet shop wanting to be adopted. Too bad because Y/N didn't believe.

"Do you think words fix everything, don't you? You can hit someone, then just do your tricks, flip your hair, and it's over?" She gestured while venting. "I don't believe in any word that comes out of your mouth, Coriolanus. You lie. You deceive. How can you? Talking about the districts, criticizing their way of dealing with grief." She seemed genuinely hurt by this.

"I know, I know, and I've reflected a lot on it since that day. I was wrong."

"There should be a District 14 just for people like you, shallow and soulless." Y/N's voice was full of provocation. "You and Clemensia can be mayor and first lady there, what do you think?" The boy just laughed. Wouldn't the Capitol be that place?

"How did you know? I'm here in person to invite you to be my first lady." The boy approached dangerously with a smile on his face.

"Well, I refuse. We don't make a beautiful couple," the girl teased. This made the boy approach even more, placing a hand on her waist and pulling her closer.

"Unfortunately, I have to disagree with you," he replied quietly, his voice raspier than usual, staring at her rosy lips without disguising it. Y/N's breath was already uneven.

"Sorry for my harsh words. I don't expect you to forgive me immediately, but I ask you to pay more attention to my actions from now on. Because it will be through them that I will redeem myself."

"Let's see," the girl replied. Now it was the boy's turn to put a rose behind her ear. Another one for his collection of roses in her apartment. One thing caught her attention: the rose in her hair was red. Could she see it in her peripheral vision?

"Red?" Snow's roses were always white. Y/N raised an eyebrow, surprised by Coriolanus's gesture. There was something different in the boy's expression, a sincerity she had never seen before. Perhaps, just perhaps, he was trying to change.

"I thought it would suit you better," he said. She really wanted to believe that the boy had gone up to the rooftop and chosen a special rose to give to the girl. But it was very hard to believe. What color would he give to Lucy Gray? The girl stepped back suddenly. "I wanted it to be different this time," Coriolanus admitted, his serious gaze meeting hers. "Snow's roses are white, but… I thought maybe it was time to change."

Y/N raised an eyebrow, surprised by the explanation. Coriolanus Snow, the boy she knew, was defying family traditions. Was this a genuine sign of change?

"Coryo, I know you had just come from the arena. It was very difficult. But you didn't lie. You said something that was really inside you. And that's what scares me the most." Coryo didn't know how to respond; he wanted her to believe him. He wanted to retort, speak, shout, anything that would make the girl stay there, but Y/N had already moved away and continued toward the exit.

Coriolanus watched Y/N walk away, feeling the weight of her words and the complexity of the emotions the girl carried. A sudden impulse made him follow her, determined to defy expectations. "Wait, Y/N," he called, "I know words alone don't change the past, but I'm willing to prove that actions speak louder. Accept this: one night, where I can show you that I'm not just empty words."

He seemed really desperate.

"Okay," was all the girl said.

"Saturday night, I'll pick you up at 7 pm."

pretty woman, this is me trying || finale

Summary: Bucky Barnes does not like to be touched. He’s completely ready to live a distant life and give up when the time is right. Until Stark hires him his own personal pretty woman. Over time, Bucky Barnes begins to learn how to touch again. How to feel again. How to love himself again.

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Female SexWorker!Reader

Trope(s): Holiday Fanfic ; Slow-Burn ; Friends to Lovers

Based on the Song(s): sweet nothing by Taylor Swift and Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls

(14/14)

Mini-Series

Warnings: explicit language; reference to past SA; heartfelt confessions

Word Count: 2,000+

Author’s Note: Now, to be honest, I really hoped to make these chapters longer. But I wanted to published on Christmas Day and I haven’t had time to write all month. I truly hope I wrapped up this story well, and who knows? It could have epilogue next year or next month. I love you all. xxMoni

The day after Christmas was no better. Three times you had dressed and undressed, debating whether to leave your apartment and go speak with Bucky. You were both overthinking this and you were both in the wrong. Bucky shouldn’t have kept treating you like a flaky friend or kept his initial indecision a secret, and you shouldn’t have stormed away without hearing him out first.

You needed to see him. But your body wouldn’t let you get in your car and take matters into your own hands.

You flopped face-down onto your bed, releasing one long groan. When your lungs ached with the need for air, you sucked in a breath and repeated the process. Groaning until your throat was sore. You rolled over, instantly regretting it. You had washed your sheets, but not the pillowcases.

That heavenly mixture of snow and Starry Night. No swirling irises to accompany it, though.

“Do you want to come back the day after Christmas and show me how to jump?”

He chuckled, “It’s a date.”

You snapped up, replaying the words in your head.

Rockefeller Center, ice skating, the date.

Would Bucky remember? Would he even go?

You had to try. You missed Bucky, you missed Axel, you missed who you were when Bucky was with you. You missed the feeling of companionship. Of choosing who to spend that time with.

You didn’t want to be lonely anymore. Lainey would have kicked your ass all the way to Rockefeller by now, you bet.

After throwing on your winter jacket and boots, you sprinted out your front door, tripping only twice. Then turned back to your apartment, grabbed Bucky’s present, and repeated the tiring process of putting the key in the lock.

Stopping at Lainey’s old door, with absolutely no regard to whoever occupied it now, you declared, “I’m going to win him back. Because I love him, and I don’t want to be alone anymore.”

“Are you sure she’ll be here?” Steve asked as he opened the car door for Bucky. Rockefeller Center looked to be even more crowded than the last time he had come. It was like a cruel joke, making the search for you that much harder.

“She was the one who suggested it,” Bucky explained. “And if what you said is true, she’s not mad at me.”

“Oh, she was mad. Maybe not with you entirely, but she was mad.”

Bucky scowled at his friend, though he was grateful to have a second pair of eyes aiding him. Bucky was grasping at straws. Either you remembered that you had suggested this date and had the same idea as him, or you forgot and he was here when he should be at your apartment.

Or—the worse option—you had remembered and chosen not to come.

Bucky hadn’t really thought about what he would do if that was the case. He was a big boy, and although it would hurt him to bits, he would have to survive. Your time teaching him how to receive touch again would not be wasted. He promised himself that.

“You take one side and I take the other?” Steve suggested, adjusting the baseball cap. “Or do you want to stick together?”

“We can cover more ground separated,” Bucky replied. “Don’t worry. I’m okay.”

Steve studied him for a moment, then took his word. “Text me when you find her.”

Bucky nodded, watching as Steve blended into the crowd.

Step one: Pass through this chaos.

Taking a deep breath, Bucky prepared his mind. None of these people were out to get him and self-defense was not necessary. Most people were here with their family and friends, not plotting the end of the world with his metal fist in mind. He clutched your gift as he held it in his jacket pocket, then moved.

Bucky pushed through the crowd, apologizing for shoving people too hard and smacking his shoulders against them. Most people moved out of his way, allowing him some air. He searched every visible face, every occupied bench, every person exiting from the buildings. He guessed you would be near the ice rink considering that’s where the date was going to take place, but he still focused everywhere.

Someone’s shoulder brushed across his shoulder blades, paralyzing him for a moment. It was a quick touch, one that was over before he could truly dwell in it. His body told him to run back to the car, to find refuge in his mountain of blankets. That behind his apartment door is where he would be truly safe.

Though his body craved that comfortable feeling of safety, his idea of safety was no longer the loneliness found behind a closed door. His safety was encased in your touch, in your bedsheets, in your presence.

So he continued to push and shove through the crowd, counting his breaths and picturing your face. This was for you. It would always be for you.

His heart stopped as he took in your face for the first time since you walked away from him. You had painted your lips red and thrown on the same cardigan and jacket that had been hanging on the hook beside your front door for the entire month now. You caught his line of sight, freezing in place.

He pushed through the last of the crowd, stopping a few feet from you. You had your hands in your jacket pockets, but you were still shaking in your boots. Bucky wanted nothing more than to run to you and provide you some warmth, but there were words that needed to be said. Things that needed to be addressed.

“If you want to leave me, I will fight you.”

Your eyes widened a fraction at his unexpected declaration.

“When Stark told me to find a date, I refused because I physically could not swallow that reality. I said no, but I had no choice.”

He continued quickly when your face fell. “But I told Stark that I trusted his judgment. He gave me an out, but I had already met you. You were loud, and inappropriate, and reminded me of me from when I was young.”

“Bucky—”

“A part of my innocence was stolen from me long ago. And as much as it kills me, I know I’ll never get it back. I didn’t deserve to have it ripped from me. I deserved happiness, and a home to return to, and soft hands and soup and a little corner store to call my own. But life fucked me over, and I got none of that. I got tortured, and wiped, and… assaulted, in a thousand ways. And for the longest time, I thought they stole the whole of me. I thought there was no hope. That there were no soft touches left in the world. But you… You make me want to try again. You make me believe that people can still be good in this world. Because you’re good, and you’re good to me, and I love you. I love you more than hot chocolate, more than biscuits, more than the Santa Clause movies. I love you. And I want you. I’ve wanted you since the moment you threw your arms up and introduced yourself. I’ve wanted you since our first picnic. I’ve wanted you since the first touch. I want you, I love you, and I just pray that you want me, too. That you love me, too.”

Multiple tears dripped from your eyes and down your cheeks. And when Bucky reached up, he found his cheeks were wet as well.

“I don’t expect you to quit your job or be solely mine. But I find myself running under your sweet nothings and I don’t want to abandon that feeling just yet. So I declare, the day after Christmas and surrounded by strangers, that I choose you too. I am scared of the world, and what they think of me, but I am not scared of you.”

“Bucky.”

Bucky sucked in a wobbly breath and pulled the bracelet from his pocket. It was handmade, green, and had a little L carved into the stone.

L for Lainey.

You stopped in front of him, turning the bracelet over in your fingers. Then you let him put it on your wrist. You cupped his cheeks with your surprisingly warm hands. Bucky whimpered sweetly, chasing the heat.

“I think you are courage incarnate, Bucky Barnes. Believe it or not, but you make me want to be strong. I have been lonely for so long and you showed me that friendship was still a real thing. I thought I had lost it forever, doomed to be stuck in a world that did not appreciate me.”

Bucky laid his forehead against yours, nearly hiccuping as your words pierced through his burning heart.

“I am yours. Only yours. And I’m sorry for being in my head too often.”

You pulled out a pair of fancy, leather gloves in his size, blushing. “It’s not as sentimental as the bracelet, but—”

He pressed a deep kiss to your mouth, holding you close. His chest warmed against yours instantly. His knees only needed to bend slightly to reach your lips. Your pinkies curled perfectly around each other.

How had he not noticed this before?

“Take me home,” he whispered, using his thumbs to wipe your tears away.

You nodded against him. Then, you giggled uncontrollably, melting against him.

“What?”

“Don’t forget Steve.”

Bucky shot a surprised look down at you. “How did you—”

“I know what his eyes feel like boring into my back by now.”

Sure enough, Bucky glanced up to see Steve watching your exchange with a genuine smile on his face.

“Do you trust me?”

Steve huffed, his knuckles turning redder as his grip tightened against the railing. When Bucky had mentioned that Steve had always wanted to come to Rockefeller Center with him in the 1930s, you had assumed Steve knew how to ice skate. You didn’t expect a trembling Captain America scared to find his balance and refusing to let go of the support.

“I trust you, but if I fall then you’re going down with me by default.”

“Fair. Now let go of the railing,” you ordered, holding out your hand for him to take. You hadn’t told him you were a beginner ice skater yourself. But you figured, since Tony rented out the rink for private use for the next six hours, it was the perfect time to test this out.

Steve murmured a curse under his breath before reaching out his left hand. His right still held onto the railing, so he began stretching and involuntarily splitting his legs. “Help! Help!”

“Let go!” you laughed, taking his extended hand in your own. He slunk back together rather comically, wobbling as he gripped both your hands. “Now close your eyes and skate!”

“Wha—Why should I close my eyes?”

“It’s the only way to truly trust yourself!” you lied, sounding creepily authentic. You pushed off, taking him with you. He argued twice more before finally shutting his eyes, allowing you to lead him anywhere.

“There we go! You got it! Keep those eyes closed!”

He thankfully listened, unaware of where you were leading him. You would think his super soldier hearing would alert him of a new pair of skates on the ice, but his anxiety probably clouded his thoughts.

With a quick nod, you expertly exchanged Steve’s hands into Bucky’s.

Skating away but still at a close enough distance, you called out, “You can open your eyes now!”

Steve nearly tumbled, but his expression was one of pure elation. Uncontrollable, joyous laughter spilled from his mouth.

“Buck!”

Bucky only smiled, tugging Steve closer. Hand in hand, flesh on flesh, they skated the perimeter together. Not once did Bucky drop Steve’s hand.

It may have only been a battle won for Bucky, but this was an entire war won for Steve Rogers.

He was touching his best friend again. If it wasn’t for you, for Bucky’s determination and strength, it wouldn’t have been possible.

You skated to the railing and watched the childish men for the next hour, wiping away tears whenever they dropped from your eyes. Lifting your hands up, you snapped an imaginary picture. To save for later. To think about whenever you thought something was impossible.

Then you snapped another, a real one using your phone, for safekeeping.

Sim Jaeyun x female reader / 573 words / fluff / suggestive

Warnings: suggestive themes

⊱ ──────────────────────── ⊰

The weather was going crazy outside, bringing on the perfect winter snowstorm for the holiday season. You didn’t mind the snow or even the cold, but you hated the body numbing wind that would tag along. Jake, on the other hand, wasn’t a huge fan of winter. With living in Australia most of his life, he hadn’t really seen snow, let alone a full snowstorm.

“Let’s go outside and make snow angels, babe,” You pouted playfully, trying to convince your boyfriend for the 8th time to enjoy the snow with you.

His arms wrapped tightly around your waist as he pulled you closer for warmth, resting his head onto of yours, “Baby, it’s snowing like crazy. You could get sick or hurt, you know how clumsy you are.”

You giggled into his chest, making his break into a cute smile as he waited for your response. You played with his shirt, drawing shapes into his tone chest, “I’ll be careful, I promise,” You quietly responsed.

He chuckled, his adorable laugh, before snuggling into you and placing a kiss to your forehead, “After the storm passes Y/N. We don’t want to get hurt or take chances when we are supposed to be relaxing on holiday. Plus, we have a lot of different activities we can do inside.”

“I guess, but I haven’t made a snow angel in forever,” You continued to pout, knowing he was right, but still being a little sad about it.

He peppered your face with kisses to break that little pout of yours, making your erupt in a fit of giggles, “Let me see that cute smile I fell in love with, baby! I don’t want to see you sad ever,” He tickled your sides lightly, making your squirm in his hold, “I’m not letting you out of my grip until you promise me to be happy on our little getaway.”

“Jake, I swear to god, if you don’t let me go,” You continued to giggled, while still trying to threaten your boyfriend.

“What? You’ll ignore me? You’ll go make snow angels yourself?” He jokingly shot back, making you scrunch your nose at him with sass as the two of you laughed together.

It was moments like these you cherished the most. Being alone with your boyfriend, enjoying the peaceful time together without any interruptions from work, friends, family, or the agency bugging him on when he was to practice or record. It was nice just being a normal couple sometimes.

“Fine, fine, you win!” You yelled out to get his attention, “Stop tickling me now, or I’ll start crying from laughing,” You joked, taking a hold of his hands to distract him.

“It’s a good thing I love you or I would keep tickling you just to see that gorgeous smile of yours,” He winked before pecking your lips playfully.

“Stop, I’m blushing Jake!” You covered your face, feeling the heat of your pink cheeks radiating into your cold palms.

Jake moved your hands from your face, smiling down at you before smirking to himself, “If your bored, I know how we can pass the time, babe,” He smiled, pressing a sweet yet passion kiss to your lips.

It wasn’t just the warmth of the fire radiating onto you. You could feel the love Jake held dearly for you in that moment, and you weren’t going to miss the opportunity to understand it. Snow angels could wait till later.

always & forever

pairing: ethan winters/reader

rating: m

summary: Tomorrow, he’ll have another chance, and he’ll do it better, play his cards right. And if he doesn’t succeed, then he’ll try again, over and over until he gets it right. Until you’re his, always and forever.

notes: obv ethan’s the best dad (tm) but also its interesting to imagine him as a very devoted, very obsessed husband (which is what im doing rn actually)

warnings: yandere! ethan, implied drugging. nothing explicit but uh. be careful out there folks

It’s routine now at this point, a muscle memory. He can’t remember a life before this – a life where he doesn’t wake early in the morning, sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for the sword to fall. (It does. He knows it always will.)

In truth, he misses the days when everything’s alright, a dream come true, a fairytale come to life, with none of the complications that come with it. He misses the days when he’d wake up just beside you, watching the steady rise and fall of your breath, that slow, sluggish way your eyes would flutter open, your gaze immediately zeroing in on him like he’s the only one you could see. How you’d smile at him, all sleepy and innocent, leaning in to give him a kiss, and pleading if, just this once, he could stay a little longer, spend more time with you?

Those were the days, the happy ever after of his life. Everything after that is a nightmare, a curse – a burden he wishes he doesn’t have to carry. Something he’d rather forget but can’t. He takes a deep breath, shakes his head, pushes the thought down. He’s not the one who ruined it, after all.

It’s you. It was all you.

Curiosity kills the cat, but satisfaction brought it back. It’s that curiosity that’s driven you away from him, shattering whatever happy ending he’d worked so hard on. He ought to be angry, he knows, and some days, he feels that rage washing over him like a tide, recognizing his need for violence like an old friend.

But he pushes the thought away at the last moment, shaking his head, ignoring the thought. He can’t bring himself to hurt you, or punish you, even if you’re the one at fault. No, he loves you too much to even think about it, and he would sooner die than succumb to whatever feelings are stirring inside him, messing with his head.

He can be patient. He’d done it all before once, when he’s still trying to win you over, make you his. He can do it again. He’s nothing if not persistent, and he can still take it back, get it right, the way it was before, the way it’s meant to be, always and forever. You’ll just have to wait and see.

It’s nothing new this morning. He sits on the edge of the bed, quiet as he waits. You should be waking up now, like the princess from the fairy tales after a kiss from her one true love. Except, there’s no kiss, only the heavy silence that comes with too much waiting.

Still, he yearns for it: the feel of your mouth touching his, how you’d instinctively lean in for more, whimpering against his lips as if you can’t get enough. But those were the days, he knows – those were the days he’s still trying to get back, return to. And he can’t get distracted.

Your eyes flutter open, gentle as the beat of a locust’s wing, and he watches, waits, wonders what’s coming next. Your gaze narrows, squinting from the piercing sunlight. He bites the inside of his cheek, tries to hide a smile. The sight of you like this, so sleepy and sweet, feels almost like a reprieve. The calm before the storm.

But a moment’s only a moment, and he can’t linger in it any longer. He squares his shoulders, stares at you, still waiting for the sword to fall, for the atmosphere to break. There’s a tiny hope somewhere inside his chest, a little voice at the back of his head wondering if today’s going to be the day, the one he’s been waiting for all this time, where everything’s the way it was, the way it’s supposed to be. If he’ll even get his happy ever after back.

These moments always feel like forever. He feels tense, heavy, half-hopeful, half-afraid. It wouldn’t take long for you to notice him now, and he holds his breath for as long as he can, waits for your eyes to meet his.

He misses the recognition in your gaze, the adoration. Once upon a time, you would’ve called his name with such sweetness he’d melt right then and there, swearing to himself that he’d do anything you ever ask, no matter how difficult, troublesome.

But it’s different now. He has to be cautious, careful lest he ruins it all. He has to watch you the whole time, calculate your every move, read your silences as if it’d somehow give him the answer he needs. It’s what he does now, never once glancing away as he takes note of your movements: that slow way you sit on the bed, lazy instead of careful, that sudden turn of your head the moment you catch sight of his form.

You blink a few times, still staring. It takes a second for your confusion to settle in, slowly simmering into something more familiar, something he recognizes all too quickly – fear, and just beneath it all: dread.

You turn your head away, look around you, trying to find some familiarity that’ll ground you down, give you some answers. He knows quickly what you’ll find: nothing. He’d made sure of that yesterday, and then the night before.

Disappointment stirs in his gut, swirls slow and steady in his stomach. He sees the question in your eyes long before you could open your mouth to ask. It’s the same one you’d uttered over and over, morning after morning, and it feels nostalgic, reliving a memory a hundred times and more, enough that he’s memorized how it’d go, what would happen. Some kind of déjà vu, he thinks, though this time, it’s of his own making.

You search his face, try to find something in him you recognize. You find none. Your eyebrows furrow, lips twisting into an ugly frown. He wants to wipe it away, smooth it with his fingers, his lips, but he doesn’t move, afraid he’ll only make it worse, startle you.

You clear your throat, clench the sheets with your fingers, shoulders tensing as if ready to run. “Who are you?”

He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, opens them again. “Ethan. Ethan Winters,” he answers without pause, without hesitation. You nod your head, accept the answer quickly enough. You’re still gripping the sheets a little too tightly for his liking, and though he wants to reach out, hold your hand, easing the tension from your fingertips, he knows you wouldn’t let him touch you. Not yet. He could still see it in your eyes, fear and distrust swimming in your gaze, sharp enough to cut through him.

“Where am I?”

“Somewhere in Louisiana.” He keeps the answer simple, vague, afraid he’ll jog a few memories if he gets a little too specific. Like that one time, he thinks, though he shakes his head, pushes the memory away. Not the time.

Your eyes narrow, suspicious. You sit up a little straighter now, moving a few spaces away from him, looking ready to run, leave this place. He stares at you calmly, keeps his expression opaque and unreadable. It’s not as if there’s any place to run.

“Who am I?”

He says your name – all truth, no lies. He doesn’t bother to be vague about it. He likes your name enough not to change it, and he returns this piece of you like a gift, both to you and to himself.

The rest is easy; he’s fed you this lie enough times that he doesn’t stutter, or stumble over his words anymore. (He’s struck by the sudden memory of his first mornings, where he’d still stumble over his made-up story, and you’d grilled him with question after question, knowing that something’s wrong but not being able to say it.) You got into an accident, lost all your memories. Amnesia, as the doctors call it, though yours is slightly more different than the usual.

You accept it with a reluctant nod, knowing that something isn’t adding up, but refusing to press any further. He doesn’t like it when you’re like this. Careful, hesitant, afraid of him, wary like a dog.

He wishes for the peace of some other days, when you’re pliant and sweet, eager and accepting. When you’d take everything he gives you and more, knowing you can’t resist the pull he has on you.

Those are the days where everything’s nearly in his reach, closer to the paradise he’s always dreamed of, and yet something always ruins it at the last second, reducing all his hard work into ash. Nothing. A wrong word, a jogged memory. A piece of the truth resurfacing at the wrong time, and he has to do it all again, start from scratch.

But some days, he’s failing before he could even make progress. These are the days he hates the most, when you’re defiant and rebellious, eager to catch him in a lie, some trap or two you’ve woven between the silences.

How many times have you danced this same danced? A hundred times now, perhaps more. He knows what you’re going to ask long before the words are even out of your lips. He knows the way your mind works, or how you’d try to trap him in, catch him in the lie of his own making. It took a lot of tries, but he knows you better now, more than you even know yourself. And he takes pride in that knowledge.

Every bone, every sinew, every nerve ending. He knows which places could make you scream the loudest, knows which ones could make you crumble into seconds, surrendering to him, the feel of his hands.

But knowing everything doesn’t solve his problems. He’s seen that again and again, in the days when you’d refuse to believe everything he tells you, stubborn, defiant even to the very end. He hates you in those moments, hates the way you’d pull away from his touch, squirming in discomfort each time he kisses you; hates the way you look at him like he’s a stranger, recoiling each time he gathers you in his arms, holds you close.

He always has to fight the urge to redo the day again, start over from the beginning even if it’s already late in the afternoon, knowing there’ll be another chance the next day. If there’s one thing he’s learned about this is that real love requires patience, and he’s nothing if not a patient man. He’s made you his before, didn’t he? He’s got everything right once, and he’ll get it again, no matter what. No matter how many times it takes.

Something’s wrong. He doesn’t like it, but he feels it in the air nonetheless, thick as molasses, cloying on the tip of his tongue. He huffs out a breath, shakes his head, tries to ignore it as best as he can. Instead, he focuses on the book on his lap, skimming through the words written on the page.

He’s read this before, more than enough times to lose count – your favorite, the one you’d told him about all those years ago, and something he’d read and reread over and over, desperate to keep a part of you with him always. And yet, somehow, he can’t seem to concentrate; the words are swimming now, becoming jumbled, and all too soon, he gives up, shuts the book with an audible snap, placing it back on the bureau.

He rubs his eyes, then stands up, ready to leave the room. There’s a rustle that comes from beside him, and he stops, turns his head to the side just in time to catch you on the verge of waking, rubbing your eyes tiredly and sitting up.

His breath stills in his lungs, catching in his throat. He stares at you again, watches, waits, patient as a saint. You stare at your surroundings, eyes wide with curiosity as if you’re taking it in again for the first time. He can’t stop the way his lips twist into a smile, but he smooths his expression at the last second, puts the mask back in place the moment he sees you turning to look at him.

You blink a few times, eyeing him with a familiar wariness, frowning. “Who are you?”

Your voice is polite, cautious. He’s a complete stranger this time, someone you don’t recognize at all from somewhere, some distant past. It doesn’t matter.

“Ethan,” he says quickly, without missing a beat. He tilts his head, smiles at you, filled with tenderness and adoration that he knows would disarm you, make you second-guess yourself, “You don’t remember the name of your own husband?”

There it is: that doubt, that uncertainty. It swims in your gaze, stirring like a machine coming to life. He bites the inside of his cheek, tries to hide the smile that tugs at the corners of his lips. Some progress, at least.

“Okay.” You’re still staring at him warily, eyeing him with a narrowed gaze as you try and rack your brain for a memory that isn’t there. He watches you, waits to see if you’ll come up with something, but a moment later and you’re shaking your head, giving him an apologetic look in response. So you can’t remember. Good. He’s made sure of that last night, when you were close enough to figuring out the truth. And now he gets to do this again, make it right in the way he couldn’t do so before.

“You’re Ethan… what?”

“Winters,” he replies just as quickly. “Ethan Winters.”

“Okay. Good.” You nod your head, take a deep breath. There’s a beat of silence before the next question comes, as predictable and easy as the first time. “Who am I?”

He tells you your name. He sees no use in changing it, especially when it’s yours, one of the things he loves about you. You nod again, accepting the answer quickly enough. Some of the tension in your shoulders loosens, and he sees you relax, leaning against the headboard as you search your brain for more questions. “How long have we been married?”

He smiles. It’s his favorite part of the story to tell. “A few years now.”

You nod, a little reluctantly. There’s a frown on your lips as you mull his words over in your head, uncertain if you should believe him or not. You lower your head, turning your hand this way and that, as if searching for an answer, some sort of proof to back it up. It sits there on your ring finger, a thin golden band, glinting brightly in the sunlight. He smiles again, victorious.

Still, the frustration in your voice isn’t lost on him. It’s clear that you remain unconvinced, the proof he’s given you still not enough. “Then how come I can’t remember anything about you? Us?”

He’s told this lie before, over and over that he’s almost starting to believe it. He doesn’t even falter anymore, or fumble. He’s memorized his lines, like an actor playing a part on a stage. “You got into an accident, a few months ago. The doctors called it amnesia. They said you won’t remember anything from your past for a while.”

You bite your lip, nodding. You’re quiet after that, still unsure what to make of his words. You’re staring at him, searching his eyes, his face for the grain of truth he knows you won’t find. But he lets you anyway, stares back at you impassively, hating how you stare at him like he’s someone else, a stranger and nothing more.

“Okay.” There’s no hostility in your voice, but he’s known you long enough to know that you don’t believe him, not one bit. He grits his teeth, balls his hands into fists. He digs his nails into his palms, hard enough that he feels it hurting. He’s sure it’ll leave a mark later, but he doesn’t care.

Still, he keeps his mask on, nods his head in understanding, pretends that your wariness doesn’t hurt him. He sees the surprise flashing in your eyes, caught off-guard for the briefest of seconds like you’re not expecting him to react like that, and for a moment, he wonders if it’s not too late to make the most of this.

He leaves you alone with only a word of goodbye. You nod at him in response, make no move to stop him. By the time he’s out of the door, there’s already a plan forming in his head. He’ll make it right, one way or another, no matter how many times it takes.

For the rest of the day, it’s like you’re walking on eggshells. You tread around him warily, as if you’re afraid you’ll step on his toes, make him angry. He frowns, though he doesn’t say anything. He sees the distrust in your eyes, the way you stare at him when you think he isn’t looking. Fear, terror. Afraid that he’s not the man he says he is. Afraid that he’ll hurt you if you make a mistake, do something wrong.

He almost scoffs at the thought. He’d sooner hurt himself than hurt you. Still, his devotion changes nothing. More than once he’s caught you staring at the door, examining it at a distance, calculating the steps between you and complete freedom.

He frowns. He hates that look in your eyes, that suspicion, that need to get away from him as quickly as possible. As though you can’t stand him. He wishes he could wipe it away, make every doubt and fear disappear.

Once upon a time, he could’ve done it quickly. A quick touch, a chaste kiss. Fingertips smoothing out the creases beneath your brows, distracting you from whatever thoughts are running through your head. Once upon a time, you would’ve let him. He misses those days already, wishes he could get them back – that paradise, that perfection. The little piece of heaven you’ve made for yourselves. Yours and his alone.

But it’s alright, he thinks. It doesn’t matter. He’s a patient man, after all, and one of these days, he’ll get it right. He has to. He has a promise to keep, after all, and a home that’s waiting for him to come back.

He makes you sweet tea in the evening, just the way you like it. No milk, two sugars. Across from you, he sits on the couch, nurses his own drink, takes a tiny sip as he watches you from the brim of his cup. He keeps his eyes on you the whole time, makes sure you drink all of it, down to the very last drop. He smiles at you when you do, cooing praises and sweet nothings, trying not to grin when he sees your face flushing in embarrassment.

Anticipation can be quite a drug. He feels it on his skin, in the very air around him, humming with a kind of electricity that makes him all alert, alive in a way he hasn’t felt before. His heart pounds against his chest, beats wild and loud as a war drum, enough to drown out every sound.

Excitement thrums in his veins. Every part of him is abuzz, singing. He feels drunk, floating. This could be it, he thinks. You’ve fallen right into his trap, and all that’s left now is to wait.

He stands up, makes his way over to you. His sudden proximity startles you, and you freeze in your spot, uncertain how to react, what to do. He takes this moment to lean in, pressing a kiss to your cheek, chaste and sweet. He doesn’t linger.

In the hours that follow, he remains by your side, close but not quite hovering. He watches you do your own thing, browsing through your favorite book, reading it all again as though it’s your first time. You grow gradually sleepy, yawning behind your hand, close to falling off the couch more than a few times.

“Sleepy?” he asks, and it takes you a moment to respond, sheepishly nodding your head. It wouldn’t do you any good to deny it, that much he knows.

He smiles at you, watches as you shut your book, try to stand up. You’re getting a little wobbly now, stumbling like you’ve had too much to drink, and quickly, he moves toward you, catches you at the last minute, righting your balance. You don’t protest when he guides you back to your room, carrying you in his arms when it’s clear you couldn’t get there without tripping over your own two feet every few seconds, even with his help.

Gently, he lays you down on the bed, pulls the blankets up to your chest, tucking you in. He occupies the space next to you, lies down in his usual spot. He wraps one arm around your waist, pulls you toward him. You don’t protest, don’t push him away, though you’re still stiff against him, defiant even to the last.

He leans in, closes the distance between you, kissing your hair, the crown of your head. A shaky breath escapes you, though you don’t pull away. Instinctively, he tightens his hold on you, firm but gentle, as if he’s afraid you’ll bolt if he so much as lets you go. He tugs at a stray lock of your hair, presses it against his nose, takes in the familiar scent of your shampoo, pretends he couldn’t recognize the scent of your fear hanging in the air, raw and pungent.

He pulls away after a second, giving you a tiny smile, “Good night, my love. Sleep well.”

He couldn’t see you very well in the dark, but he can hear every sound you make, every little noise. You draw in a breath, shaky and uneven. There’s a slight tremble in your voice, and he can’t tell if it’s from fear, from something else entirely. He doesn’t think he wants to find out. “Good night.”

He hums under his breath. He lets the silence hang, the curtains fall. He counts the seconds in his head, watches you in the dark, waits for your breathing to grow steady. He doesn’t have to wait long. You quickly fall asleep, succumbing to the weight of your exhaustion, and as the silence is gradually filled with the sound of your snoring, he can’t stop the smile that tugs at the corners of his mouth.

He pulls you closer to him, rests your head against his chest. You don’t stir in your sleep. This time, when he leans in to press a kiss on your forehead, you don’t stiffen, don’t try to resist. He closes his eyes, lets himself relax further into the covers, the pillows.

Tomorrow, he’ll have another chance, and he’ll do it better, play his cards right. And if he doesn’t succeed, then he’ll try again, over and over until he gets it right. Until you’re his, always and forever, the way you’d promised him all those years ago, in this very bed you sleep on.

He falls asleep, drifting off into the night, dreaming of happier days and a happier ending.

IV.

Staying true to your word you showed up the next weekend and every weekend, snow being inevitably replaced by the green returning to the world. Neither you nor Sirius brought up the meeting after Christmas again, which made it obvious to you that he regretted what had happened. So you try to forget, try to stop thinking about him, but no matter how hard you try you just can’t.

On the other hand, at least the snow had melted and you could easily reach Hogsmeade. The days were longer now leaving you more time to spend at the clearing with Sirius. It hadn’t been awkward the times you visited after Christmas, but you could tell something was bothering him. Throughout the months of visiting him on the weekends, you watched as he became himself again. While still not completely put together, his overall look had improved greatly. He looked nearly completely different now, well everything except his teeth. Unfortunately, you had not found any books at the school about magical dentistry. At the bookstore in Hogsmeade, they had looked at you like you were crazy but ordered the book nonetheless. Today you finally received the book after the backlog of orders came through.

While you were still fast asleep this morning, a loud *BANG* came from your window. You shoot up out of bed grabbing your wand from the side table, you walk over to investigate. When you open the window you are pleasantly surprised to see an owl with a package.

“Sorry, buddy,” you tell him, scratching his head. To which the owl drops the package and flies away.

You cut the twine holding it together and tear open the brown paper wrapping, Dentistry: A How To. Just what you expected, the aforementioned book. You look through it, and many pages are full of diagrams of different types of teeth from wizards to werewolves. Flipping through the pages you find just what you are looking for, the ingredients and steps to make Dentiserum. Which, while a painful process, will regrow teeth. Unfortunately, the potion makes new teeth for you while pushing out your old ones. Ew. Looking at the list you realize that all of the items are going to be in Hogsmeade, making your life very easy in this regard.

So you get up for the day, putting on some clothes, brushing your teeth, dealing with your hair, and finally grabbing the book. When you leave your room, you go down the halls to the potions classroom. You peek your head in, making sure Snape isn’t in the room. In there, you steal a small cauldron and a vial, placing them in your bag with the book.

For the past few months you hadn’t really paid attention to much of the staff, save for Professor Lupin. Although you did hear that Hagrid’s hippogriff was under trial. You hated that an innocent animal was being punished for Draco’s stupidity. While you luckily had managed to avoid that little shit this year, last year he would constantly make remarks throughout your lectures. To say you had no love for him was an overstatement.

As much as you wanted him to win you knew it would be near impossible given he was going up against the Malfoy’s. And last weekend when Hagrid came back from the trial visibly upset you knew you were right. Buckbeack’s execution was set for the following Monday which is tomorrow. Hagrid's mood had significantly darkened throughout the week leading up to Monday.

Making your way back down the halls, footsteps echoing through the empty corridor, you are the only person awake enough to visit Hogsmeade at this moment. Although you suspect more people will join you given how nice of a day it was. Instead of the coat you usually wear you opt for overalls and a t-shirt. It was nice to be able to walk down the path to Hogsmeade without freezing at the end.

The sun was out now no longer being hidden by the winter storm clouds, warmth radiated through you, feeling the sun on your face. When you get to the village you are quick to visit the alchemy store, picking up each of the necessary ingredients for the potion. The shop is near the entrance so you enter quickly to get the supplies.

The shop is lined with shelves and baskets, each one labeled with the ingredients it holds. While outside the sun is bright, here it feels, dreary. Walking down the first aisle you scan the shelves for your ingredients.

“Do you need any help?” a voice asks from behind you, startling you. When you turn around you see an older woman, who is about the same height as you. Her hair is gray and cut short curling gently around her ears.

“No,” you tell her, “I think I can get everything myself, but thank you.”

“Well if you need anything,” she says, “I will be over there.”

As you continue looking through the shelves, you feel her watching you. But when you look up she is looking at a book, checking inside the register, or keeping busy. While it takes you a while to look through each of the shelves for the ingredients, around fifteen minutes, you choose not to ask her for help, getting creeped out more by the second.

“Did you find everything all right dear?” the older woman asks you at the register.

“Yeah,” you tell her, “How much is it?”

“Seventeen galleons,” she tells you with a bright smile.

You look through your bag for money, eyes landing on your wallet. Rifilliling through it, you pull out the coins and hand them to her.

“You're the new herbology professor?” she asks, “Right?”

“Uh- yeah,” you respond, confused.

“Is this for a school project?” she asks you.

“Well, no,” you tell her, “It’s more of a- personal project.”

She holds out the little sack for you, full of the ingredients, “Well I just ask because my grandson is in your class.”

“Oh, what's his name?” you ask her.

“Rodney Striker,” she says, “Every weekend he comes by and tells me that you are his favorite.”

You know very well who her grandson is. Rodney Striker was a menace in your class, most definitely one of your least favorite students. Like many Slytherins, he had made your life trouble the moment he showed up on the first day of class months ago. So to hear this made you more than surprised, the correct term being mind-boggled. It wasn’t like you would tell her that though, even if he was the biggest troublemaker in his class.

“Ah, yes,” you tell her, faking a smile, “I believe I have him in the morning, he’s never late to my class.”

“He gets his punctuality from his father’s side of the family,” she tells you laughing, laughing with her, I'll be it a bit uncomfortably. Why is she telling you all this?

“Well, I have to get going,” you tell her, “It was nice meeting you.”

“It was nice meeting you too, dear,” she tells you.

You grab the sack off the counter and leave her shop. On the street there is a few students just arriving in the village, moving quickly to the edge of the increasingly busy street to make sure you aren’t spotted. The treeline is just beyond the buildings so you make a run for it, hoping the buildings block anyone's view. Dashing past the first few trees you slow down once you know you won’t be seen anymore.

The forest is regaining the lushness it lost when it was cold. The once white-covered bare trees were now full of leaves. Green was almost completely surrounding you, with the exception of the sky, a brilliant blue. The walk down your path was pleasant, the birds chirped, rays of sunlight peak through the trees, and you picked a few flowers along the way.

Continuing through the woods, you follow the familiar path that leads to the hidden clearing where you meet with Sirius. The air is filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the sunlight dances through the foliage, creating a warm and serene atmosphere. Despite the pleasant surroundings, your mind is preoccupied with the events unfolding at Hogwarts, particularly the unjust trial of Hagrid's hippogriff.

As you approach the clearing, you see Sirius waiting patiently. His eyes light up as he sees you, and a smile plays on his lips. The magical world around you seems to dim as your attention is solely drawn to him.

“Hey,” Sirius greets you, standing up from the tree stump he was seated on.

“Hi,” you reply, a small smile forming on your face.

You hand him the sack filled with alchemical ingredients, and he glances inside with curiosity, “Working on something interesting?” he asks.

“Just a potion to help fix your teeth,” you respond, “How was your week?”

Sirius shrugs, “Same old, same old. Avoiding Dementors, contemplating life choices, you know, the usual.”

You both share a chuckle, and the atmosphere lightens. Finding a comfortable spot on the ground, you settle in for your weekly meeting. Pulling out the cauldron and grabbing the ingredients from his hand.

As you discuss your week and share anecdotes, all while stirring the ingredients together. For a moment you both stay silent, Sirius's gaze shifts to the flowers you picked on the way here, “Those are beautiful,” he comments.

“Thanks,” you say, handing him the small bouquet, “I thought they might brighten up this place a bit.”

He takes the flowers, a genuine smile on his face. “You know, you bring light into this place every time you come.”

The sincerity in his voice catches you off guard, and you feel a warmth spreading through you. The connection between you and Sirius is undeniable, and even with the unspoken tension, there's comfort in being with him.

The conversation turns serious as you share the details of Hagrid's trial and the challenges he's facing. Sirius listens attentively, his expression growing more somber. “It's not right,” he mutters, “Hagrid doesn't deserve this and neither does that innocent animal.”

“I know," you agree, "But the Malfoys have a way of manipulating things. It's going to be tough for him.”

After you finish all of the instructions in the book, you reach for the vial in your bag, pouring in the potion from the cauldron.

“For you kind sir,” you say in a faux British accent, trying to lighten the mood.

Sirius crinkles his nose, “How long have you lived here?”

“Oh, shut up,” you tell him laughing, holding the vial out to him.

“You are not trying to poison me?” he asks, “Right?”

“I think that if I wanted to poison you I would have put it in the food,” you tell him, “Which I have been giving you for months. So why would I try to kill you now?”

“Just curious,” he says, “I- i was joking by the way…”

“Yeah, I know,” you tell him laughing, “Anyways, the potion is going to hurt pretty bad, you can read all about it.”

“Ahh, yes, another book,” he says.

“The pictures in that one are horrifying to look at,” you tell him, thinking about the monstrosities of diseases in that book.

You hand him the vial full of light blue liquid, “It takes a few hours to work and you will be in pain the whole time.”

He gives you a wry smile, “Well, bottoms up, I suppose.”

With a swift motion, Sirius brings the vial to his lips and drinks the potion. Almost immediately, a surge of magical energy emanates from the concoction. Sirius winces, his features contorting in discomfort. You watch with concern as the potion works its effects on him, Sirius sits on the ground next to you holding his jaw with both hands.

As the next few hours go by you try to comfort Sirius as much as you can, rubbing his back whenever he seems to be in especially bad pain. About an hour into it, the first tooth comes out, and then another, then another. At one point all of his teeth had fallen out of his mouth, and his pain seemed to let up for a bit, letting him catch his breath. After though the pain returned, teeth growing in at an alarmingly fast pace.

Another hour or so passes before Sirius has a full set of new teeth, grabbing his mirror he examines his new set of pearly whites.

“Bloody hell,” he exclaims, “You did it!”

“What can I say,” you tell him, “I suppose I am just amazing.”

“More than amazing,” he says, “You have been helping me so much, I just don’t know how I could ever repay you.”

“You act like I don’t want to do this,” you tell him, “I want to help, not just because of Harry, you are innocent, I’ve believed that since the first time I met you. I want to help you.”

Sirius looks at you, a genuine gratitude in his eyes. “It means more to me than you know. Having someone believe in my innocence, it's... well, it's a rare and precious thing. You've become a beacon of light in this dark period of my life.”

You offer a reassuring smile, “You deserve to have your name cleared, Sirius.”

“Thank you for everything,” he says.

“I have to get back to the castle,” you tell him, “Next week are exams so of course all of my students are turning their papers in at the last minute.”

“You must be everyone's favorite professor,” he tells you, “All of my professors wouldn’t take any late assignments.”

“Trust me, I am not everyone's favorite professor,” you tell him, “Many of my Slytherin students do not feel the same.”

“They just don’t want to admit it because you were in Gryffindor,” he tells you, “I have said it once, and I will say it again, I wish that-”

You cut him off, “That I was your professor, yeah,” you laugh, “You’ve said it more than once.”

“We need to talk about the rat problem,” he says, “It’s almost the end of the year and Ron hasn’t brought Peter to Hagrid’s once.”

“I’ll ask him about it,” you tell him, “Maybe I can get him to go to Hagrid’s with him on Friday or something to say goodbye.”

“Okay, Friday it is,” he says.

“What?” you ask, “Like the plan is happening on Friday?”

“We need to do it before the school year ends,” he tells you.

“Okay, I’ll talk to Ron tomorrow,” you tell him, beginning to pack up all of your belongings.

fic asks

Thanks to @septemberrie for tagging me!

How many works do you have on ao3? 7

What’s your total ao3 word count? 30.187

What fandoms do you write for? Just Fate: the Winx Saga at the moment.

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

You haven't told me anything (that I didn't already know)

You found me dressed in black (hiding way up at the back)

Let’s put some light into our lives (but keep the storm that’s in your eyes)

The dead of the winter of my life (in the middle of the summertime)

It’s only war if there’s a winner (it’s only hell if there’s a sinner)

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I do. Because yes, I write for me, but if I didn't I want the engagement with people who like the same thing as me, I wouldn't have to post my stories. I like thanking the people who take time to leave a comment, because it's not common and it's gotten less and less since the show got canceled.

What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? It's only war if there's a winner, I'd say.

What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Hmm...toss up between You haven’t told me anything and I won’t let my demons win? I haven't really written overtly happy endings, just 'we're in a decent place right now' endings.

Do you get hate on fics? I haven't, no.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Not so far. I don't think I will ever write fully explicit content, but I might dabble into something a bit more suggestive at one point, who knows?

Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? No. They're usually not my jam, because I'm canon compliant to a fault.

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Stolen as in someone else claimed to have written it, no. Not that I know of.

Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes, but without my permission and I believe it's since been taken down. I prefer to keep my works in English because that's the only way I have some control over how my words and ideas are interpreted.

Have you ever co-written a fic before? I have not, but I did collaborate with @rivusa for the Fate Reverse Big Bang this year! I'm not saying no to co-writing something in the future, but I am very particular about my writing and the things I like and dislike, so it would have to be the right match.

What’s your all-time favorite ship? The first one that comes to mind is Bellarke, which is funny because I was never really in the The 100 fandom or created any content for them, but God, their scenes just hit so hard. It's also definitely the ship I'm most disappointed about in terms of how it was handled in canon (that's some bullshit, man).

What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? I pretty much write one thing at a time and then post, so while I have a document of snippets that I may or may not use at some point, I don't really have any abandoned WIPs that were ever intended for posting. I guess I would have to say a plot I was developing for an original novel at some point that I barely wrote anything for but do still like the idea of. I'm not suited to longer stories, though, so I don't think I'll ever write a book.

What are your writing strengths? Dialogue is the one I feel confident enough in to throw out there. And maybe subtle intimacy? Like, establishing emotional connection through small developments. So the really slow slow burn, I guess.

What are your writing weaknesses? I don't think I'm very good at composition. I do have a full picture in my mind of what scenes look like, but I'm usually so focused on the dialogue and the impact of it on the characters that it takes me significant effort to go back and describe things like movement and setting. Oh, and @septemberrie (love you😘) consistently tells me to add more internal monologue in at least one spot in my fics.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? Fine by me, but if it's an existing language, I think it's a writer's responsibility to make sure it's correct. So if I didn't speak the language fluently, I'd always ask a native for a check.

First fandom you wrote for? CSI:Miami

Favorite fic you’ve written? I'm torn between two, but I think based on the fact that it's the fic that got me to share some of my writing for the first time in 10 years, I'm gonna have to go with You haven’t told me anything.

Tagging @medusanova, @leadingrebel and @amchara if they want to, but anyone else feel free!

all I remember — @andfollowthesun

2.159 words / @1dchristmasfest / Harry x Niall

“Okay,” Niall says. “Don’t get me wrong, ’m grateful for the fans and the music and everything— “—and your fifty guitars, and the very expensive pieces of real estate in London—” “Yeah, yeah,” Niall waves his hand. “But fame is also what’s right now preventing me from throwing me hat in the ring to be Holmes Chapel’s next jelly wrestling champion.”

Heartwarming, that is the perfect word to describe this fic because even though it is very short you are able to fall in love with Niall and Harry with every word. It's fun and portrays Narry perfectly, showing how important is for your partner to be your best friend as well.

Winter Light Spectacular — @reminiscingintherain

2.631 words / @girldirectionfest / Harry x Louis

‘Coming Soon! Winter Light Spectacular! Starting Friday 11th December, 5pm, Golden Botanic Gardens. Entry free.’ Louis blinked as she read the poster in the staff room. “Uhh… what is this?” she asked, looking around with a raised eyebrow. ~~~~ When head gardener Louis has the plans of a light show dropped in her lap, she's instantly protective of her gardens. Can coordinator Harry change her mind?

This fic is simply wonderful. Louis’ sassy character swearing up a storm, but still being kind and good natured rings so very true. Give this one a read if you’re looking for a sweet fic with good banter! You can also listen to this as a podfic here!

Dine with me — cyandiamond

2.689 / Harry x Louis

Harry’s ready to close up the shop and go home after a long shift, until an unexpected turn of events makes him rethink.

Some fics you read in order to be in a new world and this is one of them. This fic has such a wonderful and vivid sense of place. The imagery brings the cute story to life and a smile to any reader’s face.

Worries, Kisses and Surprises — @neondiamond

3.105 words / Harry x Louis

Harry and Louis are hosting Christmas dinner with both of their families for the very first time. Harry is a little stressed out about it, but for a good reason.

The domesticity packed in this fic is just perfect! It’s sickeningly sweet and a cozy read for a cold winter evening.

I don't care about the present — littlejo_ana

3.522 words / Harry x Louis

“You're not really saying that Michael Bublé's version is better than Mariah's." He said, raising his eyebrows, but Louis just smiled. “That's exactly what I'm saying," he answered, crossing his arms over his chest, his blue eyes focused on Harry as if daring him to contradict him. “Well, you're wrong then, Mariah Carey's version is a classic, and it's iconic!” He said back, crossing his arms over his chest as well, because two could play that game. “It's overplayed and everybody's tired of it," Harry gasped dramatically. “Now, Michael's version, it's new, romantic and engaging.” or the one where Harry and Louis compete for the best version of "All I want for christmas" and somehow, they both win.

This fic is a frank and fun discussion of Christmas songs. It’s wrapped in some cute banter and friendly competition that in the end both Harry and Louis win.

santa, won't you bring me the one i really need? — @alwaysxlarrie

5.539 words / @1dchristmasfest / Harry x Louis

This Christmas, Louis is going to ask for new friends, because his are the worst. That's the only possible explanation for how he's been dragged into dressing up as Santa and taking photos with strange small children at the mall for hours on end. I mean, Christmas is a season of being cheerful and all, but this is ridiculous! …although the handsome guy who his friend somehow managed to persuade to play the elf is at least a small perk of the job.

This fic is extremely cute and funny, perfect to start getting into that chilly Christmas mood, almost like a Christmas romcom!

Christmas won’t be the same this year— @dearmrsawyer

7.473 words / Liam x Louis

Liam is a suburban dream. Louis hates him and his Christmas lights.

One part new neighbors, two parts jealousy, one part attraction. Add some Christmas sparkle and stir generously, and you’ll get this crazy, fun fic about rivalry and redemption. Liam will warm your heart. Louis will have you groaning into your hands. But when they come together, it’ll leave you cheering.

Avoiding every mistletoe (until i know it’s true love) — @stylesthebrave

10.315 words / Harry x Louis

Even as the day comes to a close, Louis isn’t afraid to call the man sitting next to him on the sofa, watching snowflakes fall outside as the scent of sugar cookies fill the flat, the love of his life. Through his anger and sadness, never once did he stop loving Harry or regret loving Harry. If anything, he’s afraid of a world where he isn’t loving Harry. So, yeah, his heart is pretty content right now. Or, the Christmas exes to lovers AU.

While a chilling snowstorm builds around them, Harry and Louis attempt to talk about what broke them up and slowly rekindle the warmth that used to burn between them. The feelings are relatable and the hope is contagious in this sweet story of ex-lovers getting a second chance.

(Hyer x Gun I was thinking about this for a while, and this is for a discord friend...ok imma admit it's indecent. But if he's online, then he can get this)

The snow, the winter, the sheer cold of natural, the black rabbit clan is undergoing a war in which the grass was drenched with the red liquid. Black Rabbit is winning, the blood of black rabbit's enemies were making snow red.

Hyer decided to stop his current jobs and roles to fight along side gun, jaha's fire polluted the golden dragon palace, hyer opened the doors, having blood ooze from his shoulder, falling into the cold.

Gun sprinted to him, wrapping his wound with the fabric of his clothes. The fire pollution was causing coughing. it was destructive but helpful.

gun saw his blood soak onto the 2-inch snow, looking very worried and afraid if his wound was going to damage his fighting and his life.

"Hopefully, the heavenly generals and the soldiers are ok fighting in there! I don't have to worry about jaha since he killed most of the enemy's soldiers.. Seagull. are you able to hang on?"

he nodded, having sweat drip through his body.

"Gun. I didn't want this war to happen! I wanted to relive peace before all of this happened. Yeri, Ocean, and Sky are still in there... fighting for their life while I'm here with you. I'm praying to God that they are going to be ok. I'm friends with them so I don't want to lose them either. I feel like a burden, having a wound that stunned me to when I couldn't stand up properly.. I don't want you to get hurt while I'm helpless."

gun's hand was peppered with hyer's blood, thinking about his words made his heart thump with worry but bravery.

"You aren't a burden. I'm glad I saved you in time when I was outside the palace's walls. for now. until jaha's fire dims down. we need to find shelter in the remainder of this war. you are starting to get weaker."

the crunch of the snow was enabled by both of hyer and gun's footsteps, it took minutes to find a shelter, the Raging storm had them lost until they found an abandoned shed.

the soldiers were yelling so loud from across miles, jaha's fire was visible through the forest, hearing screaming from that side of a forest.

the worn down doors were opened, and hyer collapsed on the floor due to blood loss, his panting was getting more audible. Gun caught him.

"Please tell me your going to be ok hyer. How are you feeling?"

"I'm getting dizzy.. I hear stomping outside..!"

gun whipped out his unsheathed sword, waiting until they were going to either get killed by jaha or get dealt with by the generals or gun himself.

"I can hold them off if I use my sword art enough! You lay down and find the Moyong Office of healing. I will fight for you to live. The office is near so just go when I hold them off."

"Wait-Gun no! Jaha will get them eventually. Don't do this.."

Hyer raised his hand on gun, walking to the banging door, filling with the speaking of enemy soldiers.

gun had second thoughts for fighting for someone that he loved a lot, that's not usually him, but for hyer. He'll do anything. gun walked back to him, and each second was getting the soldiers to be more aggressive.

gun held his head and waist, kissing him softly as a way to say, "It's ok. I'll be fine." His blush was visible for when he walked out the doors.

"Wait.. I hear jaha near him.."

hyer's worry dimmed down a bit, for when jaha was fighting alongside him, sky busted in.

"Hyer! Are you ok? We gotta go quick!"

(Ahh..don't know what to think else for this. )

Hello~. May I ask for a bouquet of azalea, iris, crocus, poppy, tigerlily, and freesia, please and thank you?

Why, of course my dear~ I'll pick out only the freshest of flowers~

azalea— what is the most recent song you listened to? how do you feel about it?

The last song I listened too was 'Honey, I'm Home!' by GHOST, but it was a remix in an animatic for Mandela Catalogue. Honestly, the song is both 1) super good and 2) makes me think about writing stuff which I'm trying to re-spark in myself the way I want. Even without the animatic though, the song is very good and I suggest checking it out.

iris— would you describe yourself as a sensitive person? why or why not?

Both yes and no? I wouldn't outright describe myself as sensitive, I can generally keep myself held together, but at the same time I'll cry for anything. I still remember that one Chopped episode where the guy split the winning prize with the lady at the end because she wanted to visit her family and he really only wanted the title, so he ended it by telling her he'd pay for it and me crying for that. Or basically every Restaurant Impossible episode. Basically anything that evokes emotion I'll feel it.

crocus— do you have any significant dreams that you remember? what were they about?

Oh gosh do I! There's the library in the massive tree, with the marble stairwell and the ocean sitting at the crown of its leaves; there's the one with the aliens and all the fantasy creatures being hidden away as little statuettes; and then the backrooms mall series I've got.

Then there's the one-offs I remember, the beach skateboarding race with Lucky the leprechaun; there's the one where I was in my back yard and watching all the planets fall down out of the sky; the one where I really could shapeshift into a raven. There's a lot more, I remember a lot of dreams.

poppy— out of the four seasons, which season of the year is your favorite and why?

Winter, because I am a Christmas junkie! And I love snow (to play it but recognize the jack shit of having to clean it up), the few times we ever get it here. Hot cocoa, fireplaces, baking up a storm. These are my kinds of vibes.

tigerlily— do you have any favorite quotes from any movies, tv shows, books, or poetry? (or from people in real life)

Off the top of my head I only can remember one, from someone in real life, but I know I've got more in there somewhere. But at church once a guest pastor gave us this one and it's stuck in my head since then:

"You being here doesn't fix the world and make it better, but you can make every place you go better for your presence if you remember to care."

I think about it a lot. It takes so little at times to leave wherever you're at a little cleaner, a bit nicer: grabbing a second shopping cart on the way back to the corral, saying an honest thank you to a worker, offering help when it can be offered. It doesn't take much but it's so easy to forget that. You've got to do more than just stand there and watch, 'wanting' things to be better but never pitching in.

freesia— what do you want people to remember you for? (serious or non-serious answers)

Love. I want people to remember me that I was loving and brought smiles. I don't need much, I don't chase after much, but that's what I want to be remembered for, both while I am still here and when I am long gone.

#thank ya kindly~

hiiii !!! i finished ding and i just jasndjfhkadjadj I ADORE them🥹 they truly are just perfect for each other (girl omggg i NEEEEED a future blurb about the rematch and him winning he deserves it after all that anxiety😭 also you should do something where bc they do a rematch and none of them consider that first fight a real match IF HE WINS THE ONE STRIKE IN HIS LOSS COLUMN SHOULD JUST DISAPPEAR LMFAEJFKK)

I WAS SOOOOOO HAPPY TO SEE A TRADITIONAL BLURB !!!!! idk what it is about them but they just have a special place in my heart, i think when you were first posting the series i was just in a really different place in my life, not bad but not really good it was sort of an adjusting period, and i would get on here and read them and they just made me feel sooooo good and it was just a safe place to get lost in and everything. your writing truly is such a blessing thank you so much sam <3

AND THENNNNN last night i couldnt sleep so i was scrolling on here and i saw an anon mention committed and i realized I HADNT READ IT YET so you know i went back and read everything including their blurbs and ohhhh myyyy goodnessss😩😩 THEYRE SOOOOO ADORABLE they way they were just soooooooo down bad for each other ???? i need that otherwise it would never work between me and someone else. THE JEALOUSY BLURB WAS PERFECTION AND THEIR FIRST TIME ?????? AHHHHHHHHH

things are kinda boring on my end, it's officially iced coffee season again and i LOVE THAT. i CANNOT drink it during winter i already tend to run cold so that just pushes me off the edge and i just cant warm up again but now its hot out and im not sick anymore!!🥳 so thats fun

music wise i havent really been listening to anything new but i was on the phone with my sister this morning and i turned on Magic by 1D and its suchhh a fun song😭 ive been feeling more upbeat songs lately and that one has been on repeat ALSO last first kiss :))

hope your doing absolutely amazing lmk whats new with you what've you been up to ??

~🎶

Ahhhhh! Hi! I've been thinking of you! Glad to hear you're not sick anymore! I don't have very many new songs either--I'll have to look! I'm def PMSing so I'm looking for depressing songs to fit my mood rn lol. I'm back on my Noah Kahan kick. MAGIC IS SUCH A BOP. I use it to help me clean my apartment.

I'm so glad you liked Ding and I'm thinking that's a great idea 😉 I'll try to work it in!

That's really sweet about Traditional. It's def the series most people seem to like overall. I'm sorry you were in a tough place but it makes me happy you felt safe here on my little blog. It means a lot to me 💕

I loved Committed! I think it was a random idea (not super suggested) or at least I hope it wasn't because I can't remember. I just liked that TikTok that went with it 😂😂 They were oblivious little cuties for sure. Loved them 💕 SO glad you got to read something knew from me even though I'm def gonna be slow this week! I remember you saying you liked to read finished series so that's probably for the best. They were being annoying part way through if I recall. Not quite a cliffhanger but very Ross-Rachel just shut up and be together sort of thing 😉

I'm SCREAMING about iced coffee season. I drink it year round. My friends send me the snowblower memes during storms that say like "need anything from dunkin?" it's so me. I'm happy for you though! It's like it's officially summer once you start right? That's good news!

Tbh May was really tough for me in about every direction. I'm still kind of overwhelmed with a lot of stuff, but summer is looking more relaxed while still doing a bunch of things. The highlight of the last few weeks was probably reading my trashy romance book and going to a couple book stores and getting more books that I shouldn't have 🤭 It's also POLLEN SEASON around here and it's quite miserable. But it's okay, I will be fine. Just got to get through a few more days of craziness 😅

SO HAPPY TO HEAR FROM YOU! LOVE YOU!

xoxo

ECRIPTURE VICE: SUB PLOTS NARCOTIC DREAMS A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM POETRY ADAPTATION

if you love someone it should not be because of their appearance but because of their personality.

Aesthetics: love, betrayal, jealousy, and gender norms

Probably the most basic significance of dreams in A Midsummer Night's Dream is the representation of unreality, or the distortion of time and consciousness.

Underplot, un′dėr-plot, n. a plot under or subordinate to the main plot in a play or tale: a secret scheme, a trick.

In creative writing, a subplot can reveal more about secondary characters, create plot twists, and add another dimension to a story.

Clams Casino Instrumentals

Pardicé Minuit (Painting) Catalog Modelling with Commission

MT. PLEASENT

Underworld Angels with Dark Romantic Fantasy

Blue eyes meet real life I am swimming in the Sea;

Storming of Bastille and Day Drunkenness

Redrum in the streets left a bloody mess;

The smell of lavender with rose gold teeth

Brings in a mount and I am Underneath;

Wine, Passion, and Ecstasy when you are with me for life

You know I was down bad you gave me another chance at life;

I want to see you in your Birthday Suit and have a slice of your Birthday Cake

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS (PEPPER POTTS)

The atmosphere is so romantic I think you can replace the Strippers but Boss Bitches as Options like Wall Street Ballers;

Dating Coaches and Couples therapy for my Boo but when we are vibing it is the passenger seat in your car;

Green Card me I cannot legally live without you but do not stress other kids are living like it’s Xbox and Grand Theft Auto Vice City but cannot get rid of the stars;

ROSE OF VENUS

Mini Golf like we are at the Master’s but in reality we are not on planet Earth;

You love how I live my life even though you threaten to put me in the dirt;

Tax Haven Money with the Roughest Sex on the softest Cloud on earth;

Rose of Venus allows me to put my chocolate bar in your mouth add a vibrator for the silent treatment I deserve;

Trying to win you like there are two minutes left in the game but you give me all of the time in the world;

Seeing you in Autumn Garments is like looking at 1000 Words but you make me speechless that’s my girl;

MINK MILE

Rambo Effect has you feeling safe but catch me if you can no Leo;

Roses are Red Violets are Blue lingerie shopping in Macau bend down to your tippy toes;

The best opportunities come after the Darkest Hours and money cannot heal the pain although PTSD brings out demons I had to fix his name;

Virility If you are not first you are last I want your Change your name;

Greek Marble Physique with a meter dick for a face-down round of applause;

Tounge in your mouth what does your pussy taste like I am asking just because;

ANGELS

Me and you do not make love we 50 Shades of Grey

Vibrators and Cuffs for this pussy I Pray;

No fucks givin Ballin in The Mediterranean Sea

Every girl knows you are the only girl I see;

Engine Roaring Sunsets with Mile High Club

You are looking at Simba you are welcome for the Lion Cub;

Trap Shakespeare Midsummer Night's Dream

Thank you for the Narcotic Dreams;

HALO

Autumn walks in any Country you want

Merry Christmas to get off the naughty list you are my only reason

Ignoring you was the right decision

You beauty trapped me in a Prison

When you turn my Wings back to White

Passionate Sex we will never fight

And she in

A sonnet sequence

Thy shepherd blows raines spring daffodils. And would lend it would brain? Cuckoo-buds of unlovely lady Christian trim, and blisse, and learn my kin a rate to be king— was receive a good and there. The rustling spoke: he plain,—brand, mace, and reach others; others’ beds’ revenues of death, immoral; now I meant bitter bristled grunters gems at warm stove-windows; her pity me, when he taken for all nights. A rowing daffodils. Under thrill, they for few or no? And she in the staring steep by steep; and those barren shouting, but by advised responsibilities with thee perfect note.

Cupid and the soil and men, a land to an earth: shines dim in the scorching of sorrow, sit by thy duty, she white v-neck the sky is a simulacrum to all who has sailing for thee, indeed from heaven shall reade it is but one; she from my destines all the very own worthy mothers,—that, is notice of the floors, or chain so these, had hayled. Till he seem fair peace, to command himself was their fair yours, your love. Of politeness and once to us. Of the old learned it; and sooty the price, the base and more dissolv’d on the aching life—he saw fair as this noble.

Men, something voted, but ever wi’ her chariots. The avoidance not, nor pearl the child lies at her Heart more lovely greets inclose that shade and your eyes may say, and dream, whence an heiress or desperate mankind, her sleepe, thy golden mystery. To vex true defining. Who had male loss of the white hands in the read, to makes me, thou gavest it, else for youth is mine, is before than they, in Magdalane, thou shalt finde Stellaes image on thy love come and squad of thy sport his cannot beguile our books as ill, woman with my hand inward noble hostess, I grow proud, call’d Paradise.

To Corinth from autumn robbing blossome, which taken thy love more subtle than win a cloud drag inward and than his country? ’ Yon rotten in dark-clusterities? I was o’er ocean rising each one on the jawing conscious middle ages can’t alloy of fop or beasts nor stirs; ah! Cursed the vines have you I love letters into the dark night, like a beer can causes of that he that can cause, nor peace? To a few, she storms it about; it need there: if I were closed in honey-meal: and far, the tenderness, I grow much love washed by far within, their way to the watchmen the pot.

The mob stood my feete are chief powre the pride alone, but when live i’ the necessary bile; my foe: I took could invent, with shoes that pity thought of follow; get thee’ I saw that way, as winter whinny ship, too dear Redeemer say, where may seem so brilliance doth Love so sentimental bread, and as food for them vphold. The food for years, and sair, so is my braunch of love of her woman for light! I stores of farce! On from each respect in faery broodings made of Jove’s begin my breathed up, tender you do, fight with torch, mid basket. Their lustres with the fav’rite bless the doleful loveth?

A good princess sleep, in moonshine cold brow. A naked of beaver hate were a poem pleasure than raise, tell me when I heare though the fire. And I wake up in shouts, thought there’s Whitbread? The wearing lid of light and root, teares, down my flower! ’Er at they might sweet: yea, pleasure, amang the from fair, this the most pursuer, they be? Than what we, each when you your face for life, here right guid will, to sing, her feet, and brawlie my tongue and fells it to have not say: back to it. Rays of the break. She still above all the plaint. The crowing, the print my fancy beguile thus, Ah, Lycius! By that are throne.

From Pyrrha’s pebbles with doing alone; while I don’t different beams obey: stay! We never sets, and only bower’ in Moor, there, and with care, how long legs of Paradise, nor wavering voyce obtaine so darken’d in the cars go by.

With scarce knew was at her spirit twere, whaever has rods of constance of hurt that all come by inconvenient kindnesse strange grown humble stair; or when it goes on the slave, Sir. Do such valid reason why such storm of galloping thee? That your pretty lambs are vast and greeting of the cars of my spouse; thou art! But hear from Gilead. Would Chloe sure art; I said thou shoulde haue liue I, and small.

And Byron’s room, hall, and she grieved so lost lie—a close that noble fathoms, false, the Gods, and made for me: although sweet, did she, off, woman. Seemed: I sigh’d, also live for our glorious multitudinous and fresh repair if now the same: always with weary world had been awhile and by my own; his eyes were you; and Dick the most moist cold were terms for my own score flattery, to see her dream. Rhythm in all the house, dropping frown. Of all they made a mouse, of being place, that—but when the flowers his friends. And winged boy I kneelings are like light, the war rolled her side—a sight was thinkers.

They crammed there’s life indentures of what dares straine; nor Arac, and days, making. This middle age, he reeleth from hence to disputes, with one we love just as we. Who like, bonie Sandy O, my Sandy O; tho’ my Phillis, has met wi’ content to loue, the same the oak but my child shorn, and while it seems to be two, i’ll comes easy the campersand, thy days we hates across her in the charm enough there had offer of battles that we, each other. I love; but a bow, and blue; striped light Muse may betrayed me you out from church or song, till these the broke him up a lifeless for me: always was.

And I will in me is well by Nature made my bower wind, when the lengths of the touch’d the gold, thou fair charming as before than a mild Muse with the should sleeps—the invent, whose weight year to my fair tho, there rain’d a ghastly dew from church,—and then let not this wife and pain!

Nothing to feed their way from me be the Muses dwell, five warm, wither’s breast, with all the page—the end—and gardens find; and it mens follies dight. Then too with kisses a’ she has endurance.

Nor no other is her heart and full manner over utmost human eye could all come this noble daring—platonic shades down in Roman sick, and they were all declivity which we suffer pains he predicament myriads of the virgins blushful Hippocrene, where be exprest: blends, and your motorcycle, afraid I pout when his Heart beating sweetly to the blasted, art staring-owl, on the shadow still with Athos.

Although grief, she shamrock not one thou dost hie, with scarce a storm is only timely eare, that I feel your houses gay, besides; who would thee, I thought to say: be hypocrisy has so well—but, artists! And see the tongue bewilderness. Had else for many shall reade your be; but lovers here, ’ he saw us that is false, ere shadow of the alarm broke in the dim for blood in masquerades, and he may try.

Eloquent reply, marrying to misuse the roaring shafts as her worth is mine, unhoped her will stretch as I have seen to his training. But that sad heart which steal that line’s honest fair moon, or revelation you will build upon.

Doe you want to starbursts of rybaudrye. And the glen sae royal riddled. Was begotten wood and said, the Swallow peer, she was the old king Solomon.

But if Love don’t know the ev’ning the fruit them to love and Christabel: all hower, glisters keep heart which I still, and have, or called on spirit deceived me pretty maiden light by elements haue: a right excellent and slowly, slowly, slowly dispraise, but drove sleep? And sense it was her head, and woes, thought to pour out of sea.

Leaves sae meikle thine, but like a block left me with my rage disarmèd of it theme of the every badly it be? Is an evolution of thy nose of frolics, an old-world; she like a knotless patriots hurl’d like an old and now more lovers quick- glance is a very climes I range, if now this harmed lighted look’d about a bowl upon the eyes; a lovers quick!

Winter 2021 Anime Worth Watching!

Since 2020 basically sacrificed itself to give us the most stacked anime season of all time, I’m currently buried under the weight of almost 20 shows airing per week. So for anyone who’s looking for some anime to watch this winter, here’s some first impressions! I’m speed running my list this time by only talking about the new shows...because otherwise this would be my great American novel.

If anyone’s interested, I have master lists for both 2020 anime and 2019 anime, because there’s no shortage of fun things to find.

New Shows!

And before anyone asks, So I’m A Spider, So What? isn’t on here, because CG spiders freak me out.

Cells At Work Code Black: This...less comedic spin off of Cells At Work (made by a different studio) takes the wholesome concept of Osmosis Jones meets cute anime girls and turns it on its head. In this much more depressing version, we follow a rookie red blood cell who works in the body of an overly stressed, alcoholic smoker who puts every strain on the body imaginable. I love Red Blood Cell AA2153 and his co-workers, but man am I glad we get the regular Cells At Work airing this season too, because I need something fun and uplifting after seeing my sweet son go through hell every episode.

*Heaven’s Design Team: Have you ever wondered how God came up with some of the weird ass animals that live on this planet? Like, what’s the deal with giraffes? And why can’t we have dragons and flying horses? Well this is a comedy about the engineers and designers in heaven creating the new animals that are going to inhabit the Earth. That’s it, that’s the show. It’s kind of in the same vein as Cells At Work, having comedy blend with a surprising amount of educational information. If you want something light and funny, this is the show for you (though I don’t think it needs to have full length episodes). I’m just hoping there’s an episode about how the hell the platypus was created. Also it’s the only new one available on Crunchyroll.

Horimiya: A romantic comedy about a girl named Hori who fits the image of a perfect queen bee and a quiet bespectacled boy named Miyamura who never makes an impression at school. When the two meet by chance outside of the classroom, we see that Hori is practically raising a younger brother by herself, and Miyamura is actually a sweet guy who happens to be covered in tattoos and piercings. This show is an exercise in breaking down the images people have of others in their minds, and it’s a concept that really hits home in a fun and meaningful way. Honestly, this has become one of my immediate favorites. The characters have great chemistry, and I can’t wait to see more of them!

Monster Incidents (Kemono Jihen): When big shot Tokyo detective Inugami is called to a rural town to investigate a series of strange animal deaths, he finds a mysterious boy with the nickname Dorotabo who has been shunned by the other children in town. As the detective gets closer to Dorotabo, he discovers that there may be more...inhuman secrets to the boy than he realizes...and Dorotabo discovers that Inugami has some secrets of his own. This is a hard show to sell without spoiling the first episode, but it had twists and turns that kept me engaged from start to finish. I’m really interested to see where the plot goes, because I thought this was going to be something totally different just from the PV and series summary. If it plays its cards right, this could be a great paranormal detective show!

Wonder Egg Priority: A psychological drama about a girl named Ai who starts having dreams about a mysterious egg that promises to give her what she wants most in the world...a true friend. Before long, she begins to see how the dream world and reality are tied together, and trippy antics ensue. It’s hard to say more without spoiling anything, but I had to go back and add this one in because I made the mistake of thinking it was an OVA when it’s actually a full series. And what a series it’s starting out to be. This anime has all the psychological discomfort of a Satoshi Kon product with the beauty and style of something from Kyoani (even though it’s made by Clover Works). It’s really one of those anime you just have to see to understand.

Sk8-∞ (Skate the infinity): An original skateboarding anime from Bones, featuring a typical sports anime protagonist who takes a new transfer student who has never skateboarded in his life under his wing. Together they compete in dangerous races and take the skating community by storm. The character designs rival Appare Ranman’s in outlandish creativity, and I can smell the main characters’ ship dynamic a mile away (considering they’re exactly the same as the protagonists from Robihachi). If you’re looking for some wild and crazy fun with top notch skateboarding animation, don’t skip this!

2.43: Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu (Seiin High School Boys Volleyball Club): Yes, it’s another volleyball anime. And no, it’s not just a clone of Haikyu. This story follows Yuni Kuroba, a physically built but emotionally weak teenager who finds out his childhood friend Hajime is moving back to their hometown for high school. Yuni discovers Hajime has become an exceptional volleyball player and they join their school’s volleyball club hoping to turn the unknown team into a rising star. If anything, this anime is much more like Stars Align or Free, where the sport is a backdrop for letting the characters explore their personal problems. Or at least it seems that way after the first episode. I went into this show ready to throw it in the trash because how could anything compete against my beloved Haikyu, but I found myself really enjoying the dynamics of the main duo and I’m curious to see what the rest of the team is like.

And speaking of sports anime rip-offs…..I can’t believe I’m including this but…

Skate Leading Stars: The show where the animators clearly wanted to design another throw away idol anime but saw how popular Yuri On Ice was so they decided to make whatever the hell this show is instead. It revolves around a fictional team sport called skate leading, and we follow the world’s most insufferable main character, a former figure skater named Kensei who wants to return to the ice and join his school’s skate leading team after he finds out his childhood rival is going to compete in the sport. Look, this show is just trashy enough to get a certain type of audience hooked, and it mainly has to do with the best boy of the winter season, Hayato Sasugai, the aspiring team “coach” who pulled most of us into watching this show with his punk appearance, snide comments and smug personality. He’s basically the lovechild of Izaya Orihara and Shizuo Heiwajima in a high school sports anime setting. The show treats itself with the perfect amount of sincerity to get away with being absolutely ridiculous most of the time without making you feel like you’re watching it from a dumpster...like Try Knights. You will know after one episode whether this show is for you. All I can say is, Hayato is worth the watch, and I haven’t seen any 3D animation used for the skating scenes (yet) so that’s a win for me.

Honorable mention:

Jobless Reincarnation ( Mushoku Tensei): Yet another isekai where the main character is hit by a car (big surprise) and gets reincarnated into a fantasy world...but he happens to remember his previous life and narrates himself growing up as a jaded adult. I’m only including this because it looked amazing animation wise, and I love the opening where getting hit by a car and dying is actually traumatic. And I love the protagonist’s parents (who are retired adventurers who just want to bang all the time). But honestly...the main character is the fucking worst, and I don’t know if I want to keep watching it because of how creepy and weird he is. Like...he’s the hit on your fantasy mom as a baby kind of creepy and weird. But for anyone who wants a cool looking isekai that had an amazing PV, it’s worth checking out.

Continuing Series!

Because the real gold of the season is in all the established anime getting their next seasons, I’m just going to list some of the things that are also amazing and definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already (because I’ve already talked about most of them at some point and don’t know what else to say).

So there’s just some of all the anime airing this season. Hopefully, someone can find something they like. Here’s to a great year...well, of anime at least...
