@snicketsquadron sent "I'll keep you safe."

𝐊𝐈𝐓 & 𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐅 @snicketsquadron

Olaf let out a little scoff like one would put on armor. It was a dry, acidic sound. A way for him to say 'I don't need you to keep me safe,' not because it was true, but because he'd rather die than admit he needed it.

"Shouldn't I be the one promising you romantic idiocies like that?" he sneered with a sarcastic smile. "That I'll keep you safe, and that I'll love you forever? Do you want me to recite some poetry, too? Buy you a thousand roses, maybe?" When Olaf heard the expression "hurt people hurt people" he only saw it as advice to hurt someone twice.

@acourtcfmuses said “Stop looking at me like that.” (To Dallas from Lydia )

"Like what? How do you know this just isn't my normal face?" Dallas asked, raising an eyebrow. In all fairness, he'd been spending a lot of time gazing off into the distance while his mind wandered. Ever since he returned from the park, actually. Maybe almost getting eaten by prehistoric beasts was a memory that one couldn't possibly begin to forget. He shook his stray thoughts away and looked at her with a smile. "Actually, I didn't realize I was staring, sorry. Kinda got lost in thought for a second."

@sah1x1s​ i found a gif pack that was perfect for younger Daria and I couldn't get younger still working with the military delta squad adopting a 17 yo assassin out of my head

---

It wasn't out of the ordinary for the academy to pit two or three girls against one another, either sparring, or on missions. To the winner gets the spoils, and the losers died. That's just how it is. Daria won many a time. So for her final trial she was pit against two other girls around her skill level, and sent out to kill a political adversary. 

In the corner of her eye, in the reflection of shop windows she walked past, she knew she was being followed. Taking tricky passes, ultimately leading them to a dead end she turns to look at the four that were on her tail.

They either had made a significant error and put all their eggs in one basket, or there were other squads in the area hunting the other girls. She knew what was needed of her in this situation. The Widows were never caught, never surrendered. It seemed like Daria’s luck ran out in the worst of ways. She will die at the end.

Taking off the vitals monitor strapped to her neck and the earpiece in her ear, she waited. they would either shoot her, or be dumb enough to get close so she could fight.

"I did not know," she admitted.

Lucretia observed the King for a moment, before looking away, worried about seeming rude. His brother had abdicated? To her, this was a despicable show of weakness on his part. A King shouldn't push away the responsibilities bestowed upon them.

And she could understand what it felt like, to have a complicated relationship with one's brother. She certainly had one herself. But of course, she could not say that out loud, as it would be in poor taste.

The idea that a woman could be head of state in Britain left Lucretia speechless for a moment. She chewed on the words, feeling her heartbeat accelerating. Lucretia had always known that she wanted more out of life, but this was almost making her dizzy. "That's incredible," she exhaled, before quickly closing her mouth, as if she had said something forbidden.

"Maybe." She needed to stop talking. This was bordering on transgression! "I sometimes wish I could show women that they can be so much more than what The Capitol has in store for them."

Did he think it was fate? Divine intervention was the suggestion of the crown but Albert was not sure what it was. In his case, it was that his brother was an idiot, in his father’s case, his brother had just been sickly… maybe there was more to it than cruel irony after all to put him of all his family on the throne. He did watch her for her slip and her embarrassment afterwards, pausing for a moment to consider his words carefully. Sad that she felt so burdened and at the same time like a failure because she was born a woman.

“I am not the -eldest,” he began gently, “my elder -brother abdicated. He is the only –King in our history to do so and still be -very much alive.” Albert was still hurting on that front but he did his best not to show it, meaning for David’s escape from the burden of the crown as just a suggestion that she too had a choice, maybe not the best choice but it was there. “While I am a -stickler for -tradition, in this -country the -head of state -can be man or -woman. My -great -grandmother was one of the -greatest -monarchs in our -history and when my -time -comes my eldest -daughter,” currently just eleven years old, “will become -head of state after me. I would be -both -furious and -horrified if anyone expressed any suggestion of doubt in my -daughter’s right -to rule.”

He did not want that life for Elizabeth but that was how ‘fate’ had worked out, he had ascended and she was not first-in-line. “You and I both -know you are -capable of -many things, I do not know, maybe -fate made you a woman for a -purpose?” He raised an eyebrow at her hoping to get her to think on it. Maybe she was a vessel of change for Panem, proof that women were just as valuable as men.

Against all odds, Major Hewlett was advising her to... Lie to her father? At least until he had no other choice but to let her enlist. She felt herself blushing, half-terrified and half-emboldened by the suggestion.

He was, of course, right. If she told her father while he could still affect her decision, he could easily make sure that she'd never join the military. Claudius Snow certainly had the influence and power to do so.

"Thank you for your advice," she told him, still flushed but looking more determined than ever. "I shall follow it. I have no doubt my father would do everything in his power to stop my endeavor, should I fail to convince him. You're right, I shouldn't take any chances."

But he was being so nice, what if he got into trouble because of her? Lucretia, while being a rather cold young woman, was not heartless! And she was the one who had tricked him for her own ambition.

"You might get in trouble," she informed him, eyebrows knitted together.

Hewlett doubted it would stay quiet all too long if word got out and he was not entirely sure if Claudius would just rip up the application, force Lucretia into whatever he expected of her and then eliminated the witnesses. Him being the only said witness.

Still he felt for her as she gave her reasons for signing up, his shoulders dropping and his face turning that little bit kinder. He was not in such a position but he did have a decent understanding of what was expected of the women from high class families. She would be shuffled off somewhere, married to some Capitol snob and never heard or spoken of with any seriousness for her talents ever again.

“Perhaps you might allow an old soldier to offer you some advice?” It was going to be said whether she wanted it or not. “You should get the process moving before telling your father. Yes be the one to inform him of your decision but if you leave it until that moment, he can stop the process.” He should not be telling her as such, but he sensed it was going to be his head on the chopping block if Claudius had anything to do about it. “That way you are already in the system and he cannot take you out of it without… well, I doubt it’s attention he will want.”

Captain Hook is just James Matthew then. He is a charismatic young man, the illegitimate son of a nobleman who grew up raised by a Shakespearian actress after his father disowned him. This verse will follow his years as a student at Eton College, and later as a student at Oxford. Already quite the charmer and the gentleman, James is hungry for adventures. It's at Eton that he finds a book talking about Neverland, the magical Island that will become his obsession for the rest of his life.

Hobie staring at Mayday: "uhhh"

*Mayday stares at him*

Hobie: “Want to go fight crime?”

Pavitr: “SHE'S 1!”

Hobie, while picking her up by her foot and Mayday giggling: “I don’t know! What am I supposed to do with her?!”

As if Johnny wasn't already irritated enough, the guy's hand touching his shoulder only deepened his growing rage. Within seconds of the touch, he grabbed the guy's arm with his opposite hand and pried it off, twisting it and shoving him away to the side. He then stepped in between the half-circle, putting some distance between the other boys and Jamie.

"Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough. When I say back off, I mean it." Johnny's eyes narrowed as they moved across the group, taking note of their stances in case any of them decided to strike. He was outnumbered, for sure, but that didn't scare him. He'd endured more training in a single day than these fucks likely did in their entire lives. In fact, he almost welcomed the challenge. He set his gaze on the boy he'd shoved to the side, brow raising as if daring him to do something. "Come on then. Why don't you try that shit on me, huh? Get up and fight like the man you think you are."

Sure it seemed trivial when one of the upperclassmen shouldered him so hard his belongings hit the floor. But they'd feigned apologies and when he'd been beaned in the head with the first bookbag, Jamie chalked it up to the guy just slinging it to his other shoulder. Until another whacked his head the other way. So it was a game of cat and mouse. "Assholes." he mumbled under his breath.

One of them kicked his hand- sending his book skittering against the far lockers and suddenly one of them had the front of his shirt in his hands hoisting him up from the floor before slamming him hard against the metal lockers. "Three against one, that's real fair- did your dads teach you how to fight like that or--" he exhaled a groan when he was socked in the stomach, grabbing his chest to gather the wind that had been knocked out of his lungs with the hit.

The growing half circle was intimidating in a frustrating way- every fist against the locker was meant to illicit a response from him and each time he jumped or closed his eyes he was met with taunts and laughter. Jamie's eyes widened at first, then hardened in a focused stare when the familiar face broke through the crowd, the main one pinning him against the locker turned with a grin though. "Oh come on, Johnny, we're just welcoming the new guy, you know, makin' sure he knows the ropes around here. Lighten up man." he laughed, clapping a free hand on Johnny's shoulder.

Every day, when Steve gets home from work, he always asks his and Eddie's daughters what they did while he was gone.

One day, they surprise him with an answer he hasn't heard yet.

They tell him, “Daddy taught us how to pick locks.”

The girls are immensely proud of themselves and want to demonstrate their newfound skill, so they put on a whole show of locking themselves in the bathroom and breaking each other out while Steve watches on.

Much to his chagrin, all three of them can successfully unlock the privacy lock on the bathroom door from the outside – including three-year-old Hazel.

“That’s…that’s great,” Steve says when they’re done. “Uh, where’s your dad?”

They tell him that he’s upstairs and, indeed, Steve finds Eddie up in their bedroom folding a massive pile of laundry.

“Seems like you all had fun today," Steve says to him.

"Did they show you the door thing?" Eddie asks with a grin, "Yeah, they had a blast with that."

“Okay, you do realize that the lock on our door was our ticket to any kind of a sex life, right?”

Eddie blinks, the smile on his face slowly fading.

“Oh…yeah. Shit.”

“Yeah,” Steve repeats, “Nice going.”

Lucretia was terribly nervous, and it was unlike her, really. But while her brother carried himself with his usual nonchalance -the nonchalance of a first son, the nonchalance of an heir- she could feel the weight of responsibilities on her shoulders. She was the eldest, and at her father’s despair, a woman! Not only did she represent the family, but she was already at fault in his eyes. So, meeting someone quite so important came with a heavy load of worry.

Meeting a king! 

Oh, that was both so exciting and so dreadful! What if she made a fool of herself! What if she said something so utterly ridiculous that her father banished her to the districts?

But she had to get a grip! She was Lucretia Snow! And a Snow never felt fear, a Snow never backed away from a challenge. She had decided to face this situation with elegance and solemnity, just like she faced everything else in life.

“Your Majesty,” she said to the very distinguished guest, doing a perfect curtsy (nothing less than perfect for a Snow), “what an honor to meet you. I do hope you had an enjoyable journey.”
