The Legion of Super Heroes Reviews: The Legion of Substitute Heroes or Unsung Heroes

Happy 29th Birthday to Me! Yes it’s my birthday which means it’s time for reflection, griping about getting older and cake. And after an exausting weekend of grappling with a growth, i’m not going to go into anymore detail, I can finally, relax celebrate and get back to reviewing. And since i’ts my big day, that means I decided to dedicate today’s reviews to things that mean a hell of a lot to me and in one way or another shaped me as a person. A self indulgant way to reflect on my past, look to the future and show y’all some stuff I really like. So with that out of the way let’s talk about the Legion of Super Heroes.. and their oddball sub team I love dearly.

This is also my first chance to talk about DC Comics on my blog. I’m honestly shocked that in the year i’ve been reviewing stuff regularly, the other half of the big two superhero comic publishers hasn’t come up. While I do tend to lean towards marvel, in part because Marvel is simply better at collecting their stuff and putting it on sale more often, it’s still the home of some of my faviorite properties: Justice League International, The Green Lanterns (Minus Hal), Teen Titans, Wonder Woman, Oracle, Batgirl (All of them, particularly Steph and Cass), Young Justice, Supergirl, my personal boy The Martian Manhunter.. the list dosen’t go on by much but it indeed goes on. I”ve been reading dc comics since I was in middle school, and I haven’t stopped since and don’t intend to stop now and maybe in the next year I can get around to tackling some of their awesome cartoons and comics more eh? But yeah among these titans, including the actual titans, are the Legion, one of the most unique and awesome super team concepts in my humble opinon and , even for DC, one of the teams with the most tangled up histories.

First created in the Silver Age by writer Otto Binder and Artist Al Plastino, The Legion of Superheroes is DC”s first successful teen superhero team, predating the titans by a few years, though I dearly love both wildly diffrent teams. The Legion is defined by their high concept: A thousand years into the future, three super teens from diffrent worlds who happened to be on the same ship with billionare RJ Brande, saved Brande from some goons hired by his crooked buisness partner.

And exposed him. Inspirired by their courage, heart and skill, Brande latter called the three together to form them into a super team, one inspiried by the legends of teen hero Superboy.

No not Conner though it was nice to get to show off my poster of him. While he was part of the second continuities legion, we’ll get to that, he’s not the superboy we’re looking for. He is damn great though and it’s good to have you back bud.

Not Jon either, though I do miss this kid’s pre-bendis version and he was the inspiration.. for another version of the legion. (SIGH). Try. AGAIN IMAGE SEARCH.

......

No not the cool bad boy turned troubled good boy, not the child who was inexpciably aged up by that bald smeghead, and not the great idea turned into a editiorial mouthpiece. I”m talking about THIS superboy.

This is where the name came from: From the silver age till crisis on infinite earths, Clark Kent was active as a kid in smallville, and thus was Superboy, superman when he was a boy. He dealt with similar stories just with Lana replacing Lois, and Luthor as a ginger teenager. And it was these deeds as a teen hero on his own, one of the first honestly, that inspiried the legion and brande and forged the team.

And it was naturally a super boy story where they were first introduced as the legion’s founders went back to recruit Superboy after putting him through some trials, and were intended as just one of many silver age one off concepts.. but caught on with the readers so much they were brought back, and had their ranks expanded and eventually not only added supergirl, yes the one your thinking of this time, to their ranks, and yes sometimes she and superboy were in the same place at the same time, Clark willingly had founding member and telepath Saturn Girl put a mental block in his head for any info he’s not supposed to know yet so it’s cool . But yeah not only that but they eventually became their own feature in Adventure Comics, where Superboy’s stories were published, but overtook him in popularity with time. Over time a number of distinct aspects were established: The roster eventually got as large as 20 plus legionarres, almost all from diffrent worlds, and they eventually set up bilaws. Some are silly and dated such as “Legionarres marrying means they retire” which was eventually done away with in the 70′s, but others were simple logic: each member must have a unique power, no using weapons and such which rather than be super power snobbery is so said tech dosen’t fail and the legion later fully allowed Karate Kid, a martial artist, to join, no killing.. just common sense stuff that adds to it. And one of those is the centerpiece to today’s story, which we’ll get to in a moment. Obviously given they’ve been around since 1958, there is a LOT more to the Legion’s history I will dig into at a later date: The short version is that Crisis on Infinite Earths, Dc’s first big reboot, fucked the team up badly by retconning superboy out of existance and dc editorial made it worse by shooting down EVERY solution the team came up with to fix the issue. So eventually things got so messy they nuked the whole thing during the event Zero Hour and rebooted fresh with Mark Waid taking the helm and updating the concept for the 90′s and being a more lighthearted, if still not without weight, comic in the sea of 90′s edge. Waid would reboot the team again due to sagging sales, a far weaker reason this time, with a more rebllion slant, the original team would be reinstated, and then ended for a while before recently being rebooted by Brian Micheal Bendis... who sadly is long past his creative prime from books like Ultimate Spider-man and alias and is instead stewing in his own toilet dinner these days and thus it’s not pretty.. well okay art wise i’ts VERY pretty, it’s just story wise it sucks dirty ass in thunder storms. There was also an awesome cartoon that sadly lasted only two seasons that I will DEFINTELY be digging into, especially since unlike x-men evolution, it’s not you know 50 some episodes and me biting off way more than I can chew but a slim 26 that still has fans to this day. I”ll get into ALL OF THIS, some ohter time hopefullly and I mostly outlined it since some of you might be familiar with another version or “Sigh” the reboot and this helps clear things up. So yeah with all that out of the way we’re going back to the silver age and the first story I ever read of hte team, how I met them with “The Legion of Substitute Heroes” and a later subs story I genuinely love. I first read this story in one dc’s old expensive archives collections I got from the library. Oh how I miss the library. Your probably wondering who the legion of susbstite heroes are.. but since the first story covers that we can jump right in after the break!

So we open with a teen in a parka uniform disembarking from a spaceship from another planet, which a passerby notes is just like the airplanes people used to ride from country to country.

But we meet our hero, Polar Boy, whose in a winter themed outfit and has come to try out. This is the tradition I was saving for now: The Legion Tryouts. Like a club or sports team would, but I like it because it makes sense: The Legion NEEDS to be as big as it is because while their headquartered on earth, their mission scope is anywhere in the united planets which spans GALAXIES. They could be called on any time and need their full force or need to have severa l members on a smaller mission and frequently having members away on a mission was cleverly used to reduce the cast to whoever was needed for the story.

So it only makes sense to frequently look for new membbers to help strengthen their ranks... but given their teens and are recurting teens they need to be careful and need a logical way to reduce crowd flow. I mean you saw how many people used to line up for american idol before that died a justified death, people will do anything to be famous and they need to weed out those whose powers and skill just aren’t up to snuff yet, or those who are just dicks as, unsuprisingly, several stories have been built on assholes who applied and were rejected turning evil and attacking.. even though the Legion wasn’t even paticuarlly harsh. They also are more than fair as applicants CAN try again or if they prove themselves in other ways can be let in, as Bouncing Boy, my favoirite legionarre, was intially rejected for his power of .. well...

Yeah.. on paper inflating like a ball and bouncing around is kind of silly. In practice he can ricochet off enemies, walls, and obstacles and is fairly durable in that state. It’s why I don’t really brook mocking the guys power: yes it’s goofy.. but say that again when he hands you his ass. It’s the same with matter eater lad who yes is an actual character: While being able to eat anything is gloriously goofy.. it means he can chew through ANY substance and digest ANYTHING. Hell in the cartoon episode intorducing the subs they used both of these guys to great efffect: Bouncing Boy, who in the cartoon had to try out multiple times in his backstory, encouraged the future subs while Matter Eater Lad got in by EATING A FUCKING BOMB. He also had shades which I dind’t know he was missing but now I do. My point is the process is fair and well thought out and leads to some really fun scenes.

But yeah joining the legion is naturally Polar Boy’s dream, as he walks down the avenue of heroes, basically a series of statues honoring the legion and hopes all his hard work paid off. We then cut to the auditions, where he apparently waited all night. What I like about this story is that unusually for the silver age legion where it was mostly a sea of powers attached to a bunch of cardboard, really the dc silver age in a nutshell and why marvel broke out so much for having more dynamic and realistic characters, Polar Boy has more of a personality. It’s not MUCH but he’s a dedicated, hard working kid who just wants to join his heroes and seems really in awe of htem, a feeling we can all relate to. We’ve all had people we’ve looked up to, admired, and we’ve all had groups we wanted to join as kids, teens or what have you. And of course.. we all know what it’s like to be rejected by someone or something you badly wanted to be a part of. And that’s what happens to poor polar boy, who comes from a world with an intense sun thus his people developed super cold powers.. but he can’t control them well so while their impressive, they also freeze the legion. HIs powers are good... but due to their strength and radius he’s also a liablility. They give him an consolation anti-gravity belt.. they had these before eventually compressing them into the much cooler flight rings.. which I still desperatly want one of. I have the flash’s costume ring and a green lantern corps ring, but still no legion ring.

Naturally this devistates the poor boy and he wonders around dispondent till nightfall, convinced he’ll never be one of them. He soon meets Night Girl, a fellow reject with super strength given to her by her dad’s formula.. but only in darkness as she’s from a world without sunlight. She also faces a “hopeless future” but it’s then Polar Boy’s true strength reveals itself: he decides screw giving up on their dream and if they can’t be in the legion they’ll start their own Legion.

Though not to compete but to serve as a subtistute, in case the legion is ever incapacitated. So Night Girl gathers the other rejects the next morning. Cleverly one of them, Chlorophyll Kid was seen with Night Girl herslef at the tryouts behind Polar Boy. We soon learn about them and each of their origins: Stone Boy can turn himself into an immobile stone statue, as his world has half a year long nights and thus his people hybernate, Fire Lad who can spit hot fire literally and set anything combustable on fire and Chlorphyll Kid who can make plants grow rapidly. Each were rejected for resonable powers: Stone Boys powers too static, Fire Lad’s is too dangerous and Chorlpyl Kids toos pecific. But upon seeing all of this Polar Boy says they STILL have fantastic powers and still can help people and the legion.

Thus the Legion of Substittue Heroes is born. And I love them as much as the originals. As a bit of a misfit myself I relate to these guys: They have strange specific powers, got rejected by the big team.. while that trope is nothing new at the time it was unique and even now it’s a nice and inspiring message. Instead of giving up they form their OWN team to do what htey can anyway. They might not be the best like the legion but they can still help and still do what’s right even if not on their scale. It’s a great concept and really makes them endearing. Again I have a thing for the underdogs but I still really like these guys. It’s why it annoys me they got kind of spat on with time: While I love Keith Giffen and Paul Levitz run on the legion, and feel it’s the best of that contnuinty it’s not without fault and the two basically spent a full issue mocking the team and split polar boy off from them before making their own subs with only ONE of the originals. It just felt.. disrspectful. And so far no continuity has used them again until the recent bendis run, which has them announced for the Future Slate special. It took BENDIS, who dosen’t get how to use the team properly and is up his own ass, to bring them back in a new continuity and I find that obnoxious. The subs are a great concept and deserve to be honored as such and as such are one of my favorite superhero teams.

But their careers don’t start well as they doubt themslves, except for Polar Boy who boisters them along, and constnatly just end up going to missions the legion already has covered and when the legion go to fight some robot ships, they refuse the subs help.. which is fair though, as Brainy puts it they can’t risk putting untrained volunteers in harms way. Their about to just quit, in a really sad moment.. when CK, because I can’t spell cholophill and hate having to use spell check notices some odd seeds spread about.. and when he grows one a horrifying tree man shows up. They struggle with it till the setting son finishes it’s job, meaning Night Girl is at full power and whollops it and the subs spend the night destroying the seeds. They find out the next day the seeds came from the same planet as the robot ships, meaning the ships are a distraction for whoevers doing this and since they can’t just call earth, as the full force of the legion is needed with the robots and all it’d do is cause a panic, it’s down to them. Night Girl however is scared.. and I like that. It shows that while their regaining their confidence.. it’s sitll risky. Their a bunch of barely trained fanboys, and girl, going up against an alien invasion, with it down to them. They CAN save the world but it’s alright to be entirely terrified when your thrust into it this fast.

They make their way to the planet, having built a ship earlier and lie low, finding out what’s going on: The plant men are fully intellegent, and grow themselves..though how they know to attack and go to the bathrom and what not out of the seed I don’t know but I assume it’s a genetic thing or they might be some form of hive mind. point is the seed plan is to grow troops all over the world via rockets for an invasion, and it’s a brilliant concept for one too. Aliens who simply GROW the troops right into battle, born with the knowledge to do so, and right where they can ambush them. It’s down to our heroes and Stone Boy, whose been the most pesemistic, valiantly dives in to provide a distraction so they can destroy the factory and the seeds. Turns out he is useful as the most the treeple have is a space lead pipe.. yes really. I love the silver age. But they’ll bring ray guns soon, so Stone BOy knows it’s a suicide mission and now our heroes have a timer. But luckily.. our heroes are stronger than they think. Night Girl punches a way in till Night passes, while Polar Boy and Flame Lad use their powers in concert to make an opneing.. but with time running out Polar Boy finishes things by having CK grow all the seeds now they have acess.. thus exploding the planets population, destroying several cities from the number of bodies, and thu discourguing the treeple from trying again. Stone boy is able to flee with the rest of our heroes and the day is saved.

The heroes opt not to tell the public, as to take away glory for the Legion. It’s a noble gesture.. they do DESERVE credit, but they choose not to take it, preferring to let the legion get theres for stil lsaving the world from the robots. They stand firm, now confident they may someday make it to the big leagues.And it’s this that really makes me love them: Thier not the strongest or best, but they try anyway for the reasons a hero should: to help people, and not for the glory. THey remain unsung heroes and are fine with that. Eventually the Legion WOULD find out about them, but naturally instead of being dickheads about it, fully accepted them, even offering them some contests for membership, but that’s a story for another day. THey’d remain stalwart allies and valuable backup in crisis situations for years to come until the bollocks outlined above. But they’d never leave my heart and thanks to them.. the legion never left either.

Final Thoughts: While I do love the story for it’s personal signifigance to me, It’s stilll a really good story for the time. A bit stilted as was the style, but still good, well paced and with an endaring cast of underdogs who prove themselves in the end. It’s something diffrent from the usual clean cut ahead in life wasps these stories usually followed at the time. While the team’s still all white and all that, their outcasts and misfits who just want to help and have trouble beliving in themselves. Their a good standard to live up to.. and a good inspiration for me and my constnatly self hating self doutbing self. And I hope you enjoyed htem too. If you’d like to comission your own review, just dm me. It’s 5 bucks for individual issues. Later days.

S.H.R.E.C.

“Hello and welcome to Sharing How Related Elements Contrast, or S.H.R.E.C., for short. My name is Eleanor Eglantine Ambrose II, the author of the… Controversial book Forbidden Temptations: I Can Eat This But You Can Not as well as one of the apprentice of the Grand Witch Treat. Today I’ll be joined by two of my fellow apprentices as we go over the way that different magical elements contrast, interact, and change based on their relationships with one another.”

A short pink haired girl with elven ears stands in what looks to be a kitchen, the type used for a professional cooking show. How she and her companions got the rights to film here is a mystery. Grey eyes flick to the two men accompanying her, and she gestures at them, clearly unaware the camera is going to pick this up. One of the men, the one with white highlights and scars all over him, simply stares back at her, clearly confused as to what the hell he’s supposed to do here.

Elle nudges the scarred man with her elbow, aggressive whispers, “Introduce yourself!” She knows this is getting picked up by the mic, right?

He hisses a bit at the nudge before slowly turning to the camera. He seems a little...shy. “I’m...RJ Mendoza. Another one of Treat’s apprentices. Mm.” Doesn’t seem like the talkative type, either.

The other man, on the other hand, is all smiles and appears to be more than comfortable in front of the camera.

“And my name is Maui Nguyen, also one of Treat’s apprentices. It’s so great to be with you all today!” He says with an enthusiastic wave at the camera. “Especially you Elle, thank you for lettin’ us join you,” he says, gesturing towards Eleanor. “I can’t wait to see what you got in store for us!”

“It is no problem Mr. Nguyen.” No thanks for RJ though. Elle moves off camera briefly to bring two… Interesting smoothies. Given they each have a tide pod floating on the top of them, they are clearly deadly.

“Today,” she continues. “We are going to be testing different ways to negate poison using magic. Poison is my primary specialty, and as a result I have studied a variety of ways to use it and negate its effects. Mr. Mendoza also has magic that can negate poison.”

RJ nods, but there’s a short pause before he realizes that he should probably say something. “My primary element is Salt.” He then pulls out a salt shaker from his pockets. “This is just regular table salt, but I can use it with my magic to make poison stuff edible.”

Maui oos exaggeratedly as if this was his first time hearing their elements, picking up a tide pod from his “smoothie,” showing it off for the camera to see. “Edible you say? Even this?” He says, waving the tide pod in front of them, clearly trying to put on a good show for the audience.

Elle clapped her hands. “Oh yes! With my magic, and Mr. Mendoza’s I suppose, you could definitely consume a Tide Laundry Capsule! I have heard that this was a fascination for youths online for a considerable amount of time. I thought it would help us get wider appeal.” She remembers she’s still on camera, right?

After a brief pause, she turns back to the camera. “Ah, yes. Mr. Nguyen is not immune to poison, and as a result, he will be our test subject for this endeavour. You, of course, consent to this, correct? You need to say it for legal reasons.”

Maui, with a flashy smile, nods his head and gives them all a big thumbs up. “Absolutely! With you two magic masters, what can go wrong?!”

“Excellent! Mr. Mendoza, will you start us off?”

RJ nods and simply sprinkles a generous pinch of salt into one of the smoothies. “Should be good now.”

Maui claps his hands in performative amazement, before taking the cup and sloshing it around. “Still lookin’ pretty thick. Anyone have a guess at what this’ll taste like?” He asks the audience, before giving another cheeky smile. Someone is having fun. “Well, bottoms up!”

Without wincing at all, Maui begins to chug, taking huge heaping gulps, and in no time at all shows off his empty cup to the camera. It was only then did the man shudder slightly. “Eu-eugh, salty…”

“And, he suffers no ill effects- Oh, wait, I meant to show how deadly… Maui, can we edit this to go before the drinking?” Who does Elle think is editing this? Either way, she runs off screen and grabs a potted plant, pouring a bit of the remaining drink in. It immediately starts wilting.

“I customized the poison so it would be far more potent than the average one,” the girl explains, far too cheerful about something that could have killed her test subject if the magic failed. “Now, Mr. Nguyen, to test the second glass, I’ll be siphoning the poison out of you before it causes you any harm. Would you prefer I hold your hand, or do you want more contact. The more contact, the easier it is.”

“Uhhhh-” Maui stutters, momentarily disarmed before realizing he was still on camera. With cheeks steadily getting rosier by the second, he flashes another smile and sticks out his hand. “Sure, why the hell not?! … Bu-But just in case, how much skin contact do you need for -uh- ease? Do I gotta take off my shirt er somethin’?”

“No, I think that would get us demonetized… Just let me hold your arm. Like this.” The pink haired girl wrapped both her arms around Maui’s right arm, binding it in place for the time being. “I should easily be able to pull out any poison before it becomes a problem.”

Maui flushes quite a bit as Elle suddenly wraps herself around his arm, his on camera persona breaking for an instant. “U-Uhh- Yea, this is nice. Suure doesn’t feel like anythin’ is happenin’ right now though…”

“You need to consume the poison before I can really do anything.”

You can’t help but notice RJ sighing and shaking his head in the background.

“Ha-Hah, right…” Not wasting another second, Maui swipes up the second glass and chugs it all down once more, his face squinching slightly at the soapy taste. Elle squeezes his arm tightly, clearly focusing on filtering everything out. She made this really deadly and didn’t want to kill him.

Killing someone accidentally with a super poison again would be horrible.

“Are you doing alright?” Elle asked, after she finished dealing with the poison.

“Hmmm, other than feelin’ a little warm I think I’m doin’ jus’ fine. Maybe I shoulda drank even more-! Hey RJ, grab me another cup will ya?” He jokes, laughing.

It seemed Maui might have said the wrong words here, because Elle absolutely preened at that. “I suppose that means you find my method of poison extraction to be superior to Mr Mendoza’s salt bath. Of course. Salt is impressive in some ways, but Poison is by far the superior element.”

RJ glares at Elle, disgust and annoyance evident in his face. “Yeah, sure, whatever. Rather hear it from Maui then from you putting words in his mouth.”

“He all but said it already!” the girl huffs. She unwraps herself from Maui’s arm dramatically while looking directly at RJ. “See, I’m not influencing him. I have no doubt as to his answer.”

Uh oh. Wrong words said indeed, this was NOT how Maui envisioned his joke to land. Now with both of his friends looking towards him for an answer to an impossible situation… there was only one thing left to do…

“Whoaa guys- guys,” Maui says raising his hands in hopes of pacifying the building tension, “This is… This is all jus’ fun ‘nd games, yenno? A-Actually- That reminds me!”

Without skipping another beat, Maui flees offstage, still blabbering as he does.

“I actually got you guys some gifts while I was travellin’ around that I’ve been meanin’ to give- OH FU-“

Suddenly, a crash. The camera topples onto the floor, the last thing the audience sees and hears is a big meaty brown man cursing and apologizing at the same time before the broadcast abruptly ends.

Save Me: Chapter 65 - Someday

~Hey guys! Chapter 65 is out now :) I hope y’all enjoy and have a good week!~

Molly makes a confession to Michonne while Negan comes to terms with his past and Lydia thinks about her future at Alexandria.

Michonne and Judith had finally come home from Hilltop.

This filled me with both excitement and regret.

I was happy to see them both, alive and well.

Judith was like my niece and Michonne was my sister.

I loved them both so I hated them not knowing what everyone else already probably knew, that Negan and I were together.

Of course, people had whispered about him, about us for years but, because we were living together, Negan no longer in his cell and we looked after a kid, it was serious.

I think that's what unsettled people the most, that this wasn't some flirty fling with a prisoner, he was now one of us because of me and people felt threatened by us, like the King and Queen of the Sanctuary would reign over them too now.

I didn't wanna reign over anybody, I knew that Negan still did but that he held that part of himself in the past for me.

But it was the fact that we were three outcasts, the 'monster', the 'whisperer' and the 'saviour', although they interchanged monster and saviour for both Negan and I.

I knew that Judith would be okay with it, more elated than okay given how much she cared about Negan when Michonne understandably didn't.

But, Michonne, she was the type who I knew would be happy for me to see that after Tara, I could still be happy but that I found my happiness in Negan would be an issue. I was right.

Michonne strolled with Judith through the front gates as I went to greet her.

'Hey' she said smiling as she hugged me.

'I should've come home sooner' she said apologetically.

I stopped her and said quietly 'no, honestly the trial went better than expected, great actually. Listen, I need to talk with you in private about something'.

Michonne nodded sceptically and told Judith to go see Daryl and RJ while she talked to me for a minute.

I asked her to come sit with me on the bench beneath the tree and breathed deeply, hesitating before I spoke.

'Negan is living with me now' I said quickly, just trying to get it off my chest.

'What?' she said sternly but calmly.

'He is a prisoner Molly?! Or have you forgotten what he did...to all of us!' she yelled.

'I haven't nor will I ever, but he has shown over the years that he has changed. He has served our community time and time again and saving Lydia was no exception. I know it wasn't my decision to make...' I said slowly before she cut me off.

'You're damn right it wasn't!' she yelled.

'But...I made the call and if you will just give him a trial period, say two weeks. If he puts one toe out of line, then he goes back to the cell. But, showing the others that people can change, that they can find redemption, is that not what the future of this place is all about?' I asked softly.

Michonne sighed and nodded, 'fine, but he will still have guards'.

I nodded happily, saying 'deal'.

'How's Lydia doing?' she asked worriedly.

'She's banged up pretty bad, but she's healing. I just want people to see what we see, you know? That she's not a whisperer, hell she wasn't even one when she was with them. It just infuriates me that people hate her so much for something she didn't even do' I ranted as Michonne held my hand.

'You're doing the right thing Molly, you know she's so grateful for you. People will learn and understand over time' she said softly as she smiled.

'God I hope so' I replied as I looked down.

'I know you don't wanna hear this, but Negan is so good with her. She really bonded with him through all this. It's like I...like I have a family. Like I have a kid, you know?' I said hesitantly.

Michonne scowled and then smiled softly, 'I get it, Judith and RJ are my everything. I would do anything for them'.

I nodded, saying 'that's how I feel about Lydia. I wanted to kill those guys for hurting her, the thoughts that ran through my mind Michonne...they were dark. But Lydia showed me the light, showed me justice'.

'That's what we need to fight for, our future, the love that we have for each other...all of us' she said as she saw Negan in the tomato patch.

I thanked her for her understanding and I went over to Negan.

I walked up smiling like a cheshire cat and said sweetly, 'hey'.

Negan looked up and winked at me as he smiled, saying 'hey darlin'.

'Do you know where Lydia is?' I asked.

Negan nodded and said 'uh huh, dropped her off with doctor baby daddy while I went to work, she should be in her room'.

I loved hearing him talk about Lydia like she was ours, it was so sexy and compassionate.

Negan took off his cap and stood up to hold my hand.

'I love you so much you know that?' I said softly so that only we could hear.

He smirked, saying 'I love you more' he said as he bit his lip.

I went to put my arms around his waist as he said, 'Michonne is sitting right over there, we both know what happened last time'.

I chuckled, saying 'she knows and she's okay with it' as I pulled him in closer.

He relaxed and embraced me gently, holding the back of my head in his palm as he kissed my cheek.

'Is it wrong of me to say that I wanna take you right now in this tomato patch?' he whispered into my ear seductively.

I closed my eyes and smiled as I pressed my body closer so he could feel all of me.

'Not at all, but I have a funny feeling that your guards won't like that' I whispered back.

He chuckled at this and groaned in frustration, saying 'such a tease'.

I giggled and replied in a whisper, 'I know, but tonight you can have the full show'.

I pulled away from his embrace and left him wide eyed and speechless as I walked away giggling to myself.

I walked back to the house and checked Lydia's room to see that neither Siddiq or Lydia were there.

I frowned in confusion as I said to myself 'that's strange' as I walked back out.

I checked the hospital, only Dante our new doctor was working there at the moment.

He smiled strangely and said that Siddiq had gone to my house.

I just nodded and checked all over the compound, then realising that Lydia could have gone to the cell.

'Shit' I whispered to myself as I sprinted down there.

Gabriel was taking out Gage and the highway man so they could start their punishment and as I passed him I asked, 'is Lydia down there?'.

The two men didn't answer but Gabriel said 'she is but Molly I-' as I ran past them, not needing to hear the end of Gabriel's speech.

I opened the door to find Lydia sat on the bed in the cell.

Her knees curled up to her chest as her head was bowed to the ground.

'Lydia?' I asked questioningly.

'What are you doing down here?' I continued.

She looked up at me slowly and said 'what does it matter, this is where they want me'.

'You know what they're saying out there? That I brought it all on myself' she said as she started to cry.

I started to step inside as I said 'Lydia...no'.

She screamed and said 'don't! I want to be here. I was living a fairytale in your house, this is who I am'.

'You know for a long time I blamed myself for what my mother did. Kept thinking, what if I just stayed in that cell at Hilltop. If I never let myself be taken alive by you people in the first place, never went off with Henry, never said what I said to my mother' she said softly.

I sighed as I said 'you're not to blame for her'.

It was too much for her, being a family.

'My mother was right, she said you people put on these polite faces but its just a mask, because when things get bad...when you get scared, you pick a target, aim and shoot. Me, Negan, anyone but you' she continued.

'I tried fitting in, because I wanted to be like you' she said which made my heart shatter into a thousand pieces.

Tears rose to my eyes as I listened.

I shook my head, 'you don't belong in a cage, you belong with me' I said crying.

'I'm better here. I feel safe' she said sadly.

That was the truth for Lydia, with me and Negan she didn't feel safe.

I didn't doubt that she loved us but with what she went through, how could I expect her to just trust us?

It broke my heart, that I couldn't give her what she needed, but I loved her and I had to do whatever she needed.

I left the cell door open and said 'I'm sorry, just know that I love you and I will be here when you decide. I'm not leaving your side, you're stuck with me whether that's what you want or not...I've got your back' as I left the room crying.

I had been so blind. I thought she was starting to like it here, to like us.

The puzzle with Negan, the playing with Gracie, it had all been a lie.

She hated it here and it was my fault.

I should have done more, should have protected her more from all of this.

I promised her that, I thought as tears rolled down my face.

I stormed through the compound, wiping my tears before anyone saw me.

I had to do something to take my mind off it.

I had to fight them.

I marched over to Gabriel and said sternly 'I want to fight. No, I want to lead the fight'.

'I wanna train people, get ready because I can't wait any longer' I added as Gabriel just looked at me silently.

He knew something was up with me but didn't know what.

To be honest, if I was any sort of perfect person, I would better myself to help Lydia but knowing me, I wanted to fight my way through the pain.

He nodded and said 'alright' as he got everyone lined up for my training session.

I trained everyone over the age of twelve in everything, knife throwing, firing a gun, explosives, you name it.

My eyes kept flickering over to the cell where Lydia was.

I remembered all those days I would train her and I wished that she would see what I saw.

I just had to give her time and space to think.

My thoughts flashed back to the task at hand and the only thing that hindered us right now was the lack of numbers.

We had good and able fighters but the whisperers outnumbered us by a large fucking amount, plus they had a hoard of walkers that seemed to get larger every time we took some out like they were respawning.

I told Gabriel and he brought Negan over.

Aaron was training nearby me and as soon as he saw our plan, he marched over and said sternly 'we're good'.

'We're low on soldiers already, the ones we have are fighting fatigued. Negan has only been on cleanup duty' I pleaded.

'I said we're good' Aaron said angrily as he fastened his metal arm on.

Negan came over and said 'hey Molly, I'd rather just stay here and pick tomatoes and bury corpses'.

I whispered, 'he needs you out there, please?'.

'Yeah and I need me in here, especially on a day like today. Everybody's amped to eleven, pissed at the skins and stirring shit up with each other. I already told ya, I don't want any of those hateful vibes taken out on me' he said softly.

'I'll make you a deal' I whispered sweetly.

'You do this for me and i'll do that thing we talked about later' I added.

He chuckled and shook his head.

I sighed and said happily 'it's Aaron, he's a saint!'.

'Look, I just wanna stay here can you just do me that solid Moll' he said softly.

Gabriel rolled his eyes and walked over.

'You can fight, you are low on fighters. Peanut butter meet Jelly. You're taking him, end of discussion' Gabe said as he pointed to Negan and Aaron.

Negan's POV//

I knew Molly wanted me to fight with her but I couldn't help but be a little fucking sceptical.

Everyone hated me here except Molly, Lydia and Judith, so going out there with mister robot arm kinda freaked me out a little bit.

Once we got out, we fought the dead in silence until I picked up a crowbar to kill them more easily.

The fucker had given me a wooden stick, the hell was I meant to do with that?!

He warned me to put it down but I didn't listen so he chucked me some rope.

I chuckled and said, 'what? you want me to hang myself?'.

'Tie up, I'm taking you back' he said angrily.

'You're taking me back? That is the best freaking news I've heard all day! But, I am not tying up like some POW' I said smiling.

'Yes you are' he said sternly which made me smile even more.

'Or what cowboy? I asked sarcastically.

He drew out his knife as I said 'agh'.

'You know what I see? I see someone that's pretendin'. Come on man, let's just go' I said calmly as I tried to walk past.

He pushed me to the ground as I moved past him.

'Agh, Jesus did you just trip me?! What are you twelve?! What the hell is wrong with you, I've been putting my neck on a block for you people all goddamn week!' I yelled as I stood up slowly.

'You don't give a damn about us! If you gave a shit, you'd leave! That's what everyone needs' he yelled back.

I nodded and looked down, saying 'I did what I had to do back then'.

He looked surprised and asked 'what did you just say? No, no, no, open that up. Tell me, why the love of my life had to die!'.

'Okay, one simple fact, one truth kept my people going. If you don't protect what belongs to you, then sooner or later it belongs to someone else, that goes for your land, your wallet, your home, your country, everything. It is your job as a man to protect it. Its the story of America, the story of the whole goddamn world and ain't nothin changing it. Not you, not me, nobody' I said seriously.

He scoffed and said 'are you saying that Eric's death was my fault? Well, if I failed Eric then you failed Molly'.

I felt rage boiling in my blood as I kept my cool and just smiled saying 'careful'.

'She left the Sanctuary hating you, you know that she will never forgive you and you will never be able to change that. So, you can act like she won't hold that against you forever, but we both know the truth' he whispered.

I just chuckled as I frowned in anger.

'You wanna say something?' he added.

I noticed two walkers coming towards us and smiled saying 'yeah, behind you' as I ran.

Forever begins with a battle and graduation!

AN: my 3rd entry for the lovely @icantlivewithyou for her 800 followers challenge! i hope part 2 satisfies your rollercoaster story cravings! this also contains some research from the final movie/internet... plus im not sure but i might not be done with this yet... sorry about another rollercoaster of emotion and what not...

Prompt #18 “we can get through this, it doesn’t need to end like this.”

Pairing: Draco Malfoy x reader

Summery: nothing...

Masterlist part 1

this day, this the first last day of school, now made your first first day look like a piece of cake... this was the start of the great battle of hogwarts...

Now being newly engaged should never turn into a war with your in-laws right... wrong... that wasnt the case with Draco’s father... apparently getting engaged was never apart of the plan for Draco.

Lucius: “draco, are you seriously gonna marry this brat... you can’t tarnish the family name just for the sake of marrying your soulmate... i wasnt supposed to marry your mother but yet we are what we are... now are you gonna really embarass us in front of the dark lord...”

Draco standing by your side both of you with the wands ready froze when he said the dark lord...

Draco: “he who must not be named is coming here...”

Lucius: “thats right he is actually dealling with your headmaster as we speak... i came here to grab you and make you come with us and help us destroy this pathetic school and rebuild it just for pure blooded wizards... but if your not with us then you shall die as well...”

Mcgonigal: “lift your wands students cast every single attack spell you know... older students help the younger ones... keep the school safe... Yn, Draco, Harry, ron & Hermione let me and the other professors deal with these bozos you 5 please go help the headmaster and anyone whose with him...”

you your fiance and your friends all popped off to the boarder to see the power struggle between Dumbldore and Voldemort... Harry let off a loud whistle this was when the air filled with light and the order appeared along side you guys...

YN: “welcome thank you all for coming as quickly as you did... we are under attack people need help inside, we need help here... can you guys pick and choose who goes where and can some people also check the rest of the grounds... this is a strict destroy all death eaters thing... we want none of them to be here at all send them all to azkaban...”

the order divided themselves... some going to the school, the rest staying with you guys...

Lupin: “what do we do?”

Draco: “we learned this in Defense against the dark arts, we have to disrupt the streams... the one thing thats forbidden to do...”

thats when it happened... thats when you all watched as the stream was broken by Voldemort changing his spell, this caught everyone especially Dumbledore off guard... for as quickly as dumbledore cast the spell, it hit Dumbledore and he fell down in death...

the lot of you watching this sent his body to the ministry with a fire message saying ‘Voldemort is responsible, Hogwarts is under attack. please send help.’

you lot now were the only things standing between Voldemort and the school...

Voldemort: “ I know that you are preparing to fight. Your efforts are futile. You cannot fight me and hope to win. I want to kill you. I once had the great respect for the teachers of Hogwarts. I once did not want to spill magical blood but that will quickly change if i dont get what i want. Give me Harry Potter, and they shall not be harmed. Give me Harry Potter and I shall leave the school untouched.”

YN: “has anyone ever told you that you talk too much...”

Draco: “i’ll never join your side baldy...”

Harry: “we will stand and fight to protect our friends, our family, our home, our school, to keep the light of good magic alive... for its within us that we call forth the magic within, its in everyone of us... we all have it, we all have access to it, we can use it to keep our hearts and spirits our light from never going out... now leave our school and never return or so help me we will all kill you... you kill our headmaster you want me, well then Tom lets finish this the way we started it together...”

Harry stepped forward and with his wand at the ready, when everyone went to follow him, he stopped you and turned to face everyone...

Harry: “i have to end this, it has to be me... i’m sorry but this started because i lived, because he didnt kill me. i wont let him kill everyone whose standing here just because he wants to kill me... please stay here and be ready in case i fail...”

Harry went in duel stance across from voldemort.. you huddled into Draco, you were scared this was the freakiest thing you had ever seen...

harry had been speculating for a while now about the Elder Wand, now with that residing in the hands of Voldemort as a show that he was the one who killed Dumbledore now Harry would get to see if his assumptions were correct...

Harry: “Expelliarmus...”

Voldemort: “Avada Kedarva...”

as soon as he cast his spell, Harry gave all who were around him the same message he had given to Lupin but a few years before: this was about ending bloodshed, not creating it...

voldemorts spell looked like it was working when it collided with Harry’s, they clashed for a while till Harry’s spell actually made Avada Kedarva knock back on itself... it went back and hit Voldemort killing him as expelliarmus brought the elderwand straight to harry.

Harry shortly after that collapsed from exhaustion...

You and Draco popped back to the school, half the students were scattered, the staff numbers had lowered, Snape was standing in a verse off with Mcgonigal, that moment Draco’s father and mother spotted the 2 of you... coming and standing across from both of you, it was your turn...

Lucius: “look Narcissa i told you that our son was betraying the family name by marrying some half wit who has no right to call herself a pureblood...”

Narcissa: “thats a pure blood brat, she wreaks of mud blood... she is no good for our son we must stop him from making the wrong choice Lucius...”

Lucius: “lets kill the little brat, but also our son if he stands in our way...”

Narcissa: “after you my dear husband...”

Narcissa standing before you as Lucius did Draco... before the duel began you slowed time for a few seconds to talk to your fiance...

YN: “we can get through this, it doesnt need to end like this...”

Draco: “it wont end like this, it will end with us growing old together...”

YN: “lets end this quickly...”

Draco: “as a team...”

YN: “i love you...”

Draco: “i love you too...”

both of you unfreezing time waiting for the battle to start... you chose your spell, Draco chose his spell, Narcissa and Lucius obviously chosen their spells... everyone was ready...

YN: “it was a shame i was looking forward to having a set of in-laws who would treat me as if i were their own should anything happen to my family... but i guess Draco was right, you guys only want what you guys want, you don’t care about what Draco wants, you dont care about anyone else’s needs but yours and voldemorts... well i got news for you Voldemorts no more..”

they stopped dead in their tracks...

Narcissa: “what did you say to me you insignificant little brat?”

thats of course when Draco pipped up too...

Draco: “thats right, Harry finished it as he said he would... the Elder wand that Voldemort took from Dumbledore after he killed him sent Voldemorts killing curse meant for Harry back at him... now its time for you 2 to leave...”

you cast your spell while they were distracted...

YN: “Diffindo”

aiming at Narcissa’s wand first, then again immediately after at Lucius’ cane...

the second you did that they both realized what happened...

Lucius: “you insolent little children... we should...”

thats when the order stepped beside you both... Lupin leading the bunch, no one backing down even though the wands of Draco’s parents were broken.

Lupin: “i R.J Lupin under the authority of the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix hereby place Narcissa & Lucius Malfoy under arrest under the charges of assault, murder, attempted murder and so on and so forth... not to mention child abuse and hereby sentence you both be taken immediately to the minstry to stand trial for what you both have done...”

Lupin stands beside you and Draco as the rest of the order comes along side Narcissa and Lucius taking them away... Lupin turns to you and Draco...

Lupin: “i must know YN how did you learn that spell? it was never apart of the cirriculum here...”

YN: “summer reading, RJ. it was a hobby of mine to learn spells i found to be quite eventually helpful. household spells, etc but this was one spell i never thought i’d actually use... outside of shredding documents and other important recyclables...”

Lupin: “the order and im sure the ministry will expect a visit in the next little while from you 2... being that you both were main party in this entire scheme with this being your parents mr Malfoy... i strongly caution you both to stay here at the school till the ministry and the order has deemed everything safe... then we will call you guys in...”

Draco: “RJ you were YN’s favorite teacher, you taught her what she needs to know... but today before the fighting started i made a statement to the school and to YN...”

you held out your hand and showed it to RJ and any other order member around... congratulations started flowing again... but the school was still badly damaged...

RJ: “well well well, i hoped that you both would figure it out on your own... i hope the order as well as the ministry get invited to your wedding. i guess you both will want time to figure out the particulars as well as finish your final year at hogwarts...”

you and Draco pulled out your wands and watched as all the professors and students did too...

all together: “Reparo...”

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

this was how the school got rebuilt... magic from every witch and wizard on the property... that and the belief that anything is possible... though damage still remained on the property, no amount of any spell or charm could mend the loss that the school had suffered...

once the school was running again the professors and some of the teachers listed you and Draco as their protege’s meaning when you graduated you both would be professors here...

the year was not without its hardships but the biggest event of the school year was coming fast only 3 months to go...

YN: “okay class its like Professor Mcgonigal always says if you listen to your pet, it will tell you things you could only ever dream about... before we end this lesson can anyone tell me why you must have a calm mind and a gentle wave of your wand when casting any type of transfiguration, spell or charm...”

a number of 3rd year students raised their hands, but you picked a young girl who was just staring at her cat...

YN: “how bout you staring at your little white cat... come on up here please...”

the girl came up to stand in front of you...

YN: “whats your name dear?”

Alice: “Alice...”

YN: “well alice do you know why you must keep a calm mind and a gentle wave when casting any type of charm transfiguration or spell...”

Alice: “cause it will help the spell to go as casted, or as its meant to be cast... it will also help your mind to push back the negativity...”

YN: “very good...”

you look toward the back of the room and see Draco leaning against the wall... you take in a nice deep breath and then turn back to the class...

YN: “for tomorrow i would like you all to bring in an object that means alot to you we will be transfiguring something we love into something we hold most dear to us... class dismissed... Alice would you talk with me for a moment or 2...”

Alice was one of your ravenclaws... you were surprised with how much she reminded you of you... you transfigured your cat back into a cat and she went immediately to the back of the class and jumped straight into Draco’s arms...

YN: “Alice, i just wanted to say, your doing very well with everything in your studies but i want to check in and see how your doing with preparing for your finals...”

Alice: “YN if i can level with you they are alot tougher to study for than i thought they would have been...”

YN: “do you have any study buddies that you can kinda put your heads together and bounce study ideas off of ...”

Alice: “not really alot of the ravenclaws dont even acknowledge that i exist...”

thats when Draco was in earshot, he was approaching the front of the room anyway so he chimed in...

Draco: “then look for children not from your house, that are in your classes that you can partner with to study... or we could even help you go over it... i mean thats if you cant find anyone but from what YN has told me, you are one of the brightest kids she has ever taught...”

You were very impressed with how well Draco handled himself... he was amazed that even though you only had 3 months left of being students at Hogwarts it would only be a matter of time before you both were back as professors...

YN: “exactly... and its true Alice, compared to alot of the others, you are one of my brightest students... now run along you mustn’t keep professor Snape waiting...”

Alice gave you a hug and fist bumped Draco as she ran out the door her cat trailing behind her..

Draco had put your cat on one of the nearby tables before he wrapped his arms round your waist...

Draco: “now i can greet my gorgeous fiance properly... hi...”

YN: “hi...”

thats when he kissed you, you were practically sitting on your desk at this point... but when the kiss broke he leaned his forehead against yours...

Draco: “ugh i wish it was skip day... cause we would go on a outing a stroll through hogsmede... get into some mischief...”

YN: “i know love but its not... unfortunately we have Defense against the dark arts now...”

Draco: “ugh why do they still feel the need to teach defensive spells and charms if you know who is gone...”

you shrugged but then both of you got a fire message... ‘meet outside the great hall in 2 minutes its urgent...’

both you and draco along with your cat left the room immediately for the landing outside the great hall... this was the confusing thing there wasnt really anything or anyone there...

your cat however thought differently... for she started hissing and growling at something...

Draco: “i hear footsteps... be wand ready just in case...”

there were footsteps now getting louder and louder... thats when Harry, Ron and Hermione all came bounding down the stairs...

Hermione: “thank god you guys got the fire message.”

YN: “ya we did whats wrong...”

Harry: “Defense against the dark arts is cancelled today... there was a strange attack we think you both should see this...”

you Draco Harry Ron and Hermione all go to the scene of the new crime...

this scene looked similar to the year 2 incident with the chamber of secrets and such... save for one thing.. there was blood coming off the victim... the sight horrified you, it almost made you and Draco toss your lunch...

as i said similar to the chamber of secrets incident except alot worse... there was also a blood written message on the wall as well...

‘the chamber of secrets isnt finished with you yet hogwarts... there are far worse secrets in each common area... figure out this riddle and you will have solved the greatest mystery hogwarts has ever known since the creation of the school...’

you guys spent the next little bit in every spare second between studying for finals and such trying to figure this out... you were in the library on your spare combing through every single word of that riddle...

it was several hours later that you finally figured something out... you discovered a truth...

YN: “of course thats it... secrets in each common area... meaning there is a secret hidden in the common room of each house...”

once you established a meaning, you gathered with the others and planned to corral each of the heads of houses and see if you guys with their permission figure out the riddle.

that is exactly what happened. for in each common room, revealed to be a series of underground tunnels leading to yet another hidden room. within this room stood a pedestal on this pedestal sat a small hole it looked to be fitting a ring...

on the pedestal scribed an inscription: in the name of magic we the 4 bare the product of friendship and love, we the 4 give our product of love.

great another riddle... now you were getting annoyed... after careful consideration it was clear that only 4 of you could go on, Ron decided to stay back for he could help much more at the school.

you, Draco, Hermione and Harry placed the ring on the pedestal that opened a stair case, this led into the room of requirement... this was where you guys had a huge part of your encounters with dark magic over the years at hogwarts...

you guys exited the room of requirement feeling astranged...

YN: “it was just a series of tunnels... damn it... oh well come on guys lets leave this be we have finals starting next week then graduation to prepare for... leave this alone for now.. we may have to reconveine with this at a later date but right now its not our biggest priority...”

everyone could agree on that... the next 2 weeks were spent in numerous study sessions... ones that usually ended with you, draco, harry, hermione and ron passed out in the library... this was how it went on, but the day before the finals, you guys decided to take a mental health day...

Draco: “well technically it is now skip day... have you gotten your dress and such yet?”

you had completely forgot about that...

YN: “oh shit no i havent... can we see if mcgonigal will let us leave...”

thats when you guys heard a voice pipe up from behind...

Minerva: “Draco, YN where do you think you would be going?”

YN: “professor i forgot to get my dress for graduation... please i need to have this next few hours to go into town and find one please... ill even take my fiance with me...”

Minerva popped out 2 off school passes for both you and Draco... both of you heading upstairs to get out of your uniforms meeting outside the revolving stairs...

Draco: “alright love lets go...”

you guys popped over to london square, the most popular spot for many a folk to shop and spend quality time... you and draco strolled hand in hand through many a shop looking for something that catches both of your eyes...

it was about 2 hours later when you both entered one of the expensive shops on the stretch...

Associate: “welcome may we help you?”

YN: “yes i need an evening gown... and im pretty sure my man here needs a suit..”

associate: “of course... let me show you both where you are to look... do you have kind of an idea of what your looking for...”

You and draco shook your heads...

Draco: “we will know once we see it...”

Draco began looking at suits, you however were going through dress by dress nothing was catching your eye, till you found one... it happened to be your size, you pulled it down and waved over the associate...

Associate: “would you like to try this on miss?”

YN: “yes please... Draco love wait by the mirror for me ill be right back...”

Draco waited by the mirror having found his suit which he got one size up incase of emergency... magical sewing and heming gotta love it... you were in the dressing room getting into the dress with the help of the associate...

Associate: “that looks so good on you, it also fits you perfectly... how does it feel?”

YN: “it feels amazing! i love it! lets go show my man!”

you and the associate walked out of the room and into the main space... Draco’s eyes landed on you immediately, his eyes saying everything...

Draco: “damn babe you look hot... like hot hot... we will take this dress and this suit...”

Associate: “of course just come to the counter when your ready...”

you and draco used magic waited a few moments for the camera’s to magically show you going to the dressing room, a 8 minute interval of Draco pacing round before you coming back out holding the dress...

you and draco came back to the front of the store, the associate smiled as Draco handed her a check he had written out while waiting for you... you both walked out of the store now having your attire for grad you were all set...

finals were a piece of cake... packing your stuff up not so much... lots of memories and stuff... but thats okay you would be back here soon you hoped...

graduation day arrived fairly quickly... this was when the bathrooms were never clear the day when the castle was a bustle and mustle with lights, music, speeches etc...

you and Draco both decided to use the shared prefect bathroom... to kind of have some alone time plus to talk, kind of make a plan for after graduation...

draco: “so after this we are going back to the apartment... like we did for christmas break except for permenant...”

YN: “yep... we also have to finish moving in all our shit and tell my parents about the engagement...”

Draco recalled christmas where you guys hadnt broken the news yet to your family...

Draco: “yes umm right we need to do that... well that will be a first for both of us...”

you put the bottom half of your dress on no problem but doing up the top half was tricky... so you yelled back to draco...

YN: “babe if i come out holding myself in place can you do up the top of my dress...”

Draco: “of course give me 2 seconds i just have to finish doing up my belt...”

you attached the built in bra on your halter to your boobs... holding it there you waited for Draco to say he was ready...

Draco: “back out slowly babe once you feel my hands on your back thats when you stop...”

you started backing out, that step count was about 10 before you felt Draco’s hands on your back... he did up your mid back first, then slowly planted kisses along your neckline doing your halter the rest of the way up.

standing in the mirror side by side you both looked at eachother... but the one thing you were yet to do was help Draco with his tie... Draco had waited for you before doing that so he could see that you were dressed first...

Draco: “babe this will be the night of nights... we are finally graduating... then our forever starts...”

YN: “you know we wont be leaving hogwarts permenantly if the professors decide to give us teaching positions here...”

Draco: “i know love, but at least we wont have to worry about anyone or anything coming after us...”

this was true, you guys didnt have to worry about anything... as you helped Draco finish getting ready his eyes had not left your own this was why you hoped your family were gonna accept Draco the same way the school now did...

you and draco now fully dressed, stood side by side...

YN: “do you think we are gonna have any trouble tonight...”

Draco: “we better not i mean it would be nice if we didnt...”

YN: “then we should get going the ceremonies are gonna start soon... we don’t want to be late for our own graduation!”

you and Draco walked out hand in hand towards the great hall. this was to be one of the finest hours in hogwarts history... or at least the history concerning your time at hogwarts.

you both emerged at the stairs before the hall... everyones eyes turned towards you both... your eyes on the people below as you both decended the stairs with grace and poise.

Hermione Harry and ron greet you at the bottom..

Hermione: “girl that dress is gorgeous...”

you had to agree, Draco certainly had no objections to your dress, mind you, you had no objections to his suit either!

YN: “thanks ive only owned it for a few hours.”

Harry: “we will be called in in a few moments McGonigal is just making a few introductory announcements...”

waiting a few moments you guys heard the following statement.

Minerva: “now students i present to you Hogwarts graduating class of 2019!”

hand in hand in rows of 2 you all entered... sitting in the seats at the front of the hall...

Minerva: “well done students, i am so very proud of you all, now i invite YN YLN to deliver the final address for the class of 2019!”

you got up and went up to the podium...

YN: “well guys we made it, through life challenges arise, its through those challenges that we grow, individually and together. with this crazy crew of people i couldnt be happier to be saying we made it guys, we made it through. this year brought many hardships and troubles... at the start of the school year, we arrived only to find that hogwarts was being attacked... we lost the greatest headmaster this school had ever seen that day, but the bonds formed then stay with us for the rest of our lives. today marks the beginning of the rest of our lives, today we graduate to find our futures set before us in many many ways. for me im gonna finish moving out of my parents place into my own place... then soon i shall be getting married to a man who makes my heart soar! we will be as happy in our future as we are now. but to the rest of my friends here i just want to say thank you, for the support and for the way you all stepped forward to support me when everyone else thought i would fail. learning is meant to be challenging, learning is also meant to be fun... today marks the beginning of the rest of our lives, if you have a plan i encourage you to follow it, if you have a dream i encourage you to chase it, if you have no plan or dream i encourage you to follow the little curves that life throws at you... lets live for today like its the last day of our lives!”

the room errupted with cheering and praise as you invited the minister of magic up...

cornielius: “very well put YN... now to the class of 2019 i present your diplomas... but before i send you your diplomas i have a few things to award... if YN, Draco Malfoy, and Harry potter could come up here please!”

you were already half way back to your seat, but decided to walk back up the stage with Harry and Draco.. you all stood before the minister and ever so poiltely smiled...

Cornielius: “there is sometimes one in every class but this year there are 3. this first position is for my Harry James Potter, harry my boy i am extending to you a full position at the ministry with me!”

Harry held out his hands and recieved a piece of paper with the terms and conditions of his employment.

Cornielius: “Draco Malfoy i extend to you the position of teaching defense against the dark arts next year at hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry...”

Draco held his hands out to recieve his teaching certificate...

Cornielius: “YN in all my years as minister ive never seen anyone stand up for what they believe in so strongly, which is why as of right now you also are gonna be teaching at Hogwarts too... Minerva needs someone to take over her class while she becomes headmistress of hogwarts.”

a teaching certificate came into your hands as well.. then the minister waved his hands and diplomas flew into the entire graduating classes hands... the party after that was a blast, if only you could remember half of it...

~ps... wont be able to put out part three for 10 days im away with my family! but feel freee to reblog and share with your friends. also hit me up in messages if you wanna chat!~

Save Me (Barba x Reader fic woooow)

I had this idea, then I realized i like to ramble without details.

I am sorry in advance. my head is fucked up. Trigger warnings: kidnapping, abuse, angst, rape.

“MOMMY. RJ is making a mess” Zoey screamed from the kitchen. “MOMMY ZOEY MEANNNNN” your 2 year old screamed back. You walked out of your bedroom, where you were attempting to get ready to testify for your husband on the latest SVU case, to find both your kids throwing their cereal at each other. “Hey, both of you stop. Zoey, go get dressed, it’s almost time for school.” “No. I’m not going to school” she screamed. “Zoey, don’t you want to go see all your friends, and Noah?” “I can go to Aunt Liv’s and see Noah! NO SCHOOL” she stormed off to her room, crying, and slamming her bedroom door. She definitely has your attitude and temper, even at 5 years old. You looked over at your 2 year old who was throwing his cereal on the floor “RJ, cereal is for your mouth. Eat son.” Your husband walked out of the bedroom fixing his tie, you smiled at him. The two of you were working on a case, that was getting to the both of you. You had been fighting almost every night. The makeup sex was great, but you were growing sick of not having a normal conversation with your husband. “Is everything okay, amor?” he asked kissing you. “Your kids were throwing cereal at each other. So I have to clean that up, and Zoey doesn’t want to go to school..” you said. “So I have to go talk to her?” You kissed him, “Thank you.” He looked over at RJ, who still wasn’t eating “RJ, eat mijo. Get strong muscles like Papi.” he said as he rubbed his head and flexed his arms at his son. RJ finally began eating, while you picked up cheerios from the floor. Rafael knocked on Zoey’s door before opening it, he saw Zoey on the bed crying, he walked up to her while he spoke. “Mija? Hey. Mami said you didn’t want to go to school today?” Zoey lifted her head, “Papi, what if something happens to me at school? Something bad, like that kid you and mommy keep fighting about?” Zoey was talking to the case Rafael had to take to trial today, that you were testifying at, a school shooting, a 15 year old killed his 16 year old girlfriend, and was being tried as an adult. SVU got thrown the case. You were lead detective. It was a tough case with little concrete evidence. You and Rafael had brought a majority of the work home so you could be with your children, the two of you had no idea either of your children had heard the fights. “Princesa, you don’t need to worry about that, nothing will happen to you mija.” He held her close and she pulled away. “That’s not what mommy said last night!” He froze. Last night, you told Rafael how nervous you were while Zoey was at school, all the violence, and she was so outspoken, she was bound to stand up to the bullies, you didn’t want her to get hurt by one. The two of you ended up fighting about it. He said you were overreacting because of this case, you said he was in denial that anything bad could ever happen to her, things got way out of hand. He didn’t know what to say, mainly because he realized you were right the whole time. He stood up to exit Zoey’s room as he muttered “Get dressed, you’re going to school.” storming out of her room, slamming the door behind him.

You looked at him, “Everything o…” “She heard us last night.” Your mind went to the mindblowing make up sex the two of you had after the fight. “What did you tell her?” you asked raising your eyebrow. “What could I tell her? She’s right. YOU were right.” You realized he wasn’t talking about the makeup sex. “The violence, mi amor, she is too good, she is the type they...” You stopped him “No, you were right. I overreacted. We are raising a good kid, Rafael. You may not be her birth father, but she is your daughter. She knows how to fight the bad guys.” He walked towards the bedroom, mumbling something about not fighting before court, you followed him. “Explain to me why everything has to end in a fight?” He looked at you putting on his suit jacket “You tell me.” You walked up to him, “Oh you’re gonna blame me? It takes two to tango, Rafael. This wasn’t a fight until you stormed in here making it one.” He glared back, “So you’re gonna blame me?” he was mocking you. “I don’t want to fight, but we need to talk.” “Do we?” He shouted as he sat on the edge of the bed. You rolled your eyes, and sat next to him, “Rafael, I know this case, the evidence, or lack of, is getting to you, to us, but babe, it will be okay. We will be okay.” you kissed his cheek. He knew you were right, but couldn’t speak, he just looked at you with tears in his eyes, as Zoey walked up to the door frame, “Mommy? Papi?” she said, as she twirled around, showing off her new dress. “I am ready for school. Sorry I yelled.” She put her head down. You smiled, so did Rafael, “Bug, come here” you said as Zoey walked over and sat between you and Rafael on the edge of the bed. “Your school will keep you safe, always. You are the smartest five year old I know, nothing will happen to you.” You kissed her forehead. “And if anything does happen, you know Mami, Papi, and Uncle Sonny will be the first three people there.” Rafael said as he pulled her hair out of her face. Zoey laughed “I know. I love you.” She jumped off the bed “I’m gonna go watch cartoons for a bit!” and ran into the living room. Rafael looked at you, “Cariño, we have to leave soon, finish getting ready.” he said, kissing you, and walking out of the room. You put on the red sweater Rafael got you for your birthday last year, his favorite shirt you own, and black pants. You walked out and your nanny, Lindsay, was playing cars with RJ. You smiled and looked at Rafael, “Ready?” He looked at Zoey, “Mija, ready?” She jumped off the couch “VERY READY!” You laughed “I’m glad you're ready now, let’s get going” You kissed RJ goodbye, as did Rafael and Zoey. “No sissy stay!” he said grabbing onto Zoey. Lindsay got him and said “Sissy has to go to school, remember? it’s just us bud.” You all told Lindsay goodbye, and left.

After dropping Zoey off at school, the two of you headed to the court house. “I want to prep you one more time.” Rafael said on your way up the steps. You let out a sigh, and rolled your eyes. “What?” he asked. “Nothing, I just. I told you, I don’t want to fight, again.” you responded. “What does that mean?” he said as the two of you got onto the elevator. “Everytime you open your mouth about this case, we fight. It’s like you are so desperate to win you don’t care about me” you were shouting at him. “That’s not true and you know it. You know they are riding my ass to win this. I know I have been taking it out on you and I’m…” “Don’t apologize to me.” The elevator door opened and you stormed off with him right behind you. “Cariño. Talk to me. I want to fix this.” You just sighed loudly, as you walked into an empty room. He slammed his briefcase down and looked at you. You turned around to face him. “Not now. Let’s get this over with. Fix it tonight,” you said, and he began to prep you. He mentioned the date of the crime, saying “Two weeks ago, November 4th.” You looked at him “the 4th?” you questioned. He slammed his fist on the table. “Fuck, Y/N, we have been over this. Don’t do this to me on the stand.” “Rafi…” you whispered, and began crying. “Cariño, mi amor” he sat next to you and pulled you close. “I’m sorry. I will fix us, I promise. When this case is over, we’re gonna have a getaway hmm? We can take some time off, just you and me, and the kids.” “Rafi, it’s….fuck”. You only stopped your sentence because your phone was ringing. It was Zoey’s school, “Hello? Yeah this is….What? When? How?” Rafael could hear the crack in your voice, as you looked at him your eyes filled with tears. “We will be right there.” You threw your phone down, almost shattering your iPhone screen. You started shaking, put your head down, and spoke “We have to go now.” Rafael just stared at you. “Cariño?” he whispered, you broke down, crying. “Raf, Zoey...the school...a man outside. He took her.” You were walking towards him and he grabbed you as you began to sob on his shirt, “Let’s go.”

He called the judge on the way out of the building, a family emergency was all he said, no details. He drove, you were too much of a mess. His phone rang: Olivia Benson. “We’re on our way” he snapped at her as he picked up. “Y/N is a mess but….WHAT?” He almost stopped the car in the middle of the road. “You’re sure it’s him? You can tell?” He floored the car, driving faster than ever. “That ASSHOLE. He doesn’t get to do this to her again.” You finally stopped crying and looked at him, as the two of you pulled into the school. “We’re at the school now, on our way in” he hung up, and was getting out, “Who…” he cut you off, “Cariño, it’s going to be okay.” The two of you were walking in “Rafael…” he looked in your eyes, tears in his own, “Liv knows who it is” his voice was cracking, he was trying so hard to stay strong, for you. You knew, by his voice you know. “Jerome..” you looked at your husband “please tell me I am wrong” He grabbed your hand as you entered the principal’s office, “I can’t lie” he whispered, kissing your hand.

As soon as you entered the office, everyone’s eyes went to the two of you, Rafael left your side only to talk to the principal, Carisi, and Liv. You stared at the screen. The video playing on loop. Jerome walking up to Zoey outside the school, Zoey going to him, then turning to run into the building, and he grabbed her backpack, tears in her eyes. You put your hand on your stomach, then over your mouth, you started to gag. “Y/N.” Rafael called after you as you ran into the hallway and into the bathroom, throwing up. You were splashing water on your face when Olivia walked in, “We’ll get him, Y/N, we’ll get her back” she said rubbing your back. You turned around to face her, “Don’t,” you said walking out of the bathroom, she was right behind you “Y/N, we will. The entire squad is on this. This is our only case.” Rafael and Carisi were in the hallway waiting for the two of you to head back to the precinct. You walked past them both, straight outside, followed by Olivia, then the two men.

Rafael and you wrote back in almost silence. He finally spoke when you were almost back, “Cariño, mi amor, babe,” he reached for your hand, taking it in his. “I.” you stopped him. “Rafi, I just want her back okay?” He parked the car and the two of you headed into the precinct. Your phone rang, number unknown. “Hello?” you heard a familiar voice on the other end, “Hmmm your voice still sounds so lovely.” You stopped walking, causing Rafael to turn around and look at your eyes. Your eyes instantly filled with tears. “Where the fuck is she?” Rafael rushed back to your side, you gave him a sign to be quiet and held the phone just enough away so he could hear everything Jerome was saying. “Now now Y/N, you know that’s not how this is going to work” “What do you want?” “You.” Rafael looked at you, you could see the anger in his eyes. “Her for me?” you asked. Rafael stormed off towards the door of the precinct. You ran after him, as Jerome spoke “Only if you make it fun, like the old times. Oh and bring your squad, and husband. Make them watch” he was laughing. “Let me know she’s okay.” You finally caught up to Rafael and stopped him getting on the elevator. You gave him your signature what the hell face, and he rolled his eyes, as you heard your daughter, “Mommy! Mommy save me” You started sobbing, “Love bug, listen to me, it’s going to be okay. We’re coming. Papi and I. We will save you.” “Mommy? I wanna tell Papi I love him” Rafael spoke softly, not knowing if Jerome could hear “I love you princesa, mija." You heard her scream as he grabbed the phone from her “1785 West Deer street.” he said as he hung up. You looked at Rafael, started crying, repeating at address to him, kissing him and walking away. “You’re not going alone, Cariño.” he said chasing her. “Go give the squad the address, and meet me there” she screamed back at him, as she got in the car. He followed her in the car, “Like Hell. I already texted them. Cariño, like it or not, I’m going with you” You turned to him, and looked into his eyes. Your husband, who you loved so much, who you had been so detached from as of late. You spoke to him “You always protect me, and I Love You so much” and for the first time since you got the news, you grabbed him, and kissed him hard, as he kissed you back, you pulled away. “Let’s go save our daughter.”

“Y/N, you might want to slow down..” Barba said as both your bodies jerked when you went around a sharp corner. “The sooner we get there, the sooner she's back with us” He put his hand on your knee, to try and calm you. You pulled down a dirt road, he raised an eye at you “You seem to know the way…” “It’s his mom’s old house. We use to come here and….” you shook your head. You didn’t want to discuss with Rafael what the two of you did at this house. “Cariño, it’s okay mi amor.” You pulled up to the house. It was a dump in the middle of nowhere. “Hm, Paradise.” Rafael always was sarcastic. You looked at him. You wanted to tell him how he was the best thing that ever happened to you, but, you couldn’t find the words. Instead, you grabbed your husband, and kissed him, seeing Jerome peek out the window, you kissed him harder, and whispered “I love you, Rafi.” He pulled away, “Let me go in with you...” “No. Rafael, if you go in...no. Let me get her. I can fight him, I promise.” You kissed his cheek, and whispered in his ear “answer your phone, don’t come in without backup.” He reached for his vibrating phone, seeing it was you calling. You nodded, placed your phone in your pocket, and walked inside.

Once inside, you saw your daughter and ran to her, only to be stopped by Jerome grabbing your hair and pushing you to the ground. “Not so fast, bitch” he said as he flipped you over on your back, and got on top of you. “Let her go. That was the deal.” He laughed, “I never said I would let her go.” Your heart sank, you looked at Zoey, crying in the corner. Jerome fought to take off your pants. “Get off me” you screamed. “Maybe I should keep you quiet.” he said, as he pulled out a knife of his pocket, and put it to your neck. You swallowed, hard. “Don’t fucking touch me. The rest of them, they will be here soon.” He laughed again, “But will you?” It took everything in him for Rafael not to run in there and save you, and Zoey, but he kept his promise to you. Jerome went back to taking off your pants, then your panties with his free hand. “You’re not getting away with this again, Jerome.” “Oh, Y/N, you know me better than that. He sat the knife down to remove his pants and boxers. You screamed at him, “DO NOT FUCKING TOUCH ME. GET OFF ME” He laughed and pinned you down. You looked at Zoey, crying, screaming for you. The only good thing Jerome ever gave you was her, then he threw his rights away to her like they were garbage. Thank god you had Rafael. Rafael. He was right outside. He could hear everything on your phone. He could save her. “Zoey, Run!” You said. Zoey got up and ran to the door, just as it opened. Olivia and Carisi were right there, Zoey ran straight past them and into Rafael’s arms “Papi Papi he’s gonna hurt Mommy” She cried as he picked her up, and rubbed her head “shh, princesa, Mami is going to be okay. Papi’s here. It’s okay.” Rafael barely had time to blink before he heard it. You screamed, then a gunshot. Rafael set Zoey down, “Princesa, Mija, get into the car baby.” He ran inside, to see Olivia calling a bus, Carisi standing in shock, gun still in his hand, Jerome bleeding on the floor next to you, and you, covered in Jerome’s blood. You looked at him and started crying. He rushed to your side. “He...he had the knife to my neck. He said...he said he would cut my head off, and and Sonny he..Sonny” He pulled you close “It’s over. It’s over for good.” You hugged him, tight, sobbing, you looked at Sonny who was walking towards the two of you, you briefly pulled away from Rafael to speak with Sonny “Thank You Son..,” you started crying again before you could finish. He hugged you, and said “I’m just glad you and Zo are okay.” Thankfully, you always keep an extra pair of clothes in the back of your car in case you encounter a messy crime scene. Sonny grabbed the bag for you, and you changed.

You knew there would be an investigation, you knew IBA would get involved, you knew you’d have to retell the events to Tucker, but you also knew that was a problem for future you to worry about. Right now, all that mattered was your daughter was home safe, your son was happy you were home, and you had a loving husband. That night, after Rafael put RJ to bed and you put Zoey to bed, the two of you went to your own bed. He put his arms around your waist and whispered, “I love you.” You turned to face him, and said “Rafael, promise me something?” He looked at you confused as he asked what, and your replied, “Promise me we will stop fighting? These last few weeks have been…” “But the angry makeup sex” he said smirking. You playfully slapped him, “Rafael, are you picking fights with me just so we can have angry sex?” He started kissing your neck, laughing, and said “Never.” You laughed too, “You’re such an asshole sometimes, babe.” “I love you too” he replied. The two of you had the best sex of your lives that night.

hey hey! It might be good to mention how rj tried/is trying (?) to help your universe avoid the armageddon, tha might help (?)

In a roundabout sort of way, yes. We're not sure how much he's allowed to, or how much he even can- not a doubt on his abilities, but rather how much the fabric of the universe will tolerate interdimensional interference. Still, his story itself will be a huge help to us in keeping certain mistakes from being made. That should hopefully prevent the war with Systar and Armommageddon from ever happening- and our Emmet from suffering the same way RJ did.

RJ Lackie & Stéphane Lachance | Dorian Gray

RJ Lackie and Stéphane Lachance, two of the forces behind Dorian Gray spoke with netTVnow on their current Phase One journey of IPF. Lachance and Lackie are no strangers to web series. The duo teamed up for Cycle 66's first series, The Soliloquies of Santiago and are currently in the works on Dorian. In addition to Cycle 66's works, Lackie can add writer/creator to KindaTV's Canadian Screen Award-nominated web series, Inhuman Condition, Streamy-nominated series All For One (co-created with Sarah Shelson), with other works seen in Couple-ish, V Morgan is Dead, IRL: The Series and upcoming sci-fi feature film Darken. Check out what else Lacki and Lachance have been up to below the jump and be sure to give their trailer a watch!

netTVnow: Let’s talk Dorian Gray, where did the concept for this series come from?

RJ Lackie: Dorian Gray is actually a kind of modernized sequel to Oscar Wilde’s famous The Picture of Dorian Gray, one of the most prominent pieces of ‘queer but not explicitly queer’ literature out there. This was actually one of the things that drew me to it. Queer characters in literature - and projects that explicitly or subtextually queer classic characters - fascinate me. It’s a reminder that LGBTQIA folk have always existed, even if our stories weren’t always safe to tell.

In 2014, it was in vogue to develop vlog-style Literary-Inspired Web series (LIW) concepts to see if another could be a similar flashpoint for the genre. Like many of my favourite projects, Dorian Gray started out of a pragmatic question: If I were to pursue an LIW, which public domain works spoke to me? I was particularly interested in finding queer male protagonists to explore, as one of my longstanding pet peeves in web series has been the dearth of queer men in shows not focused around identity or romance, an issue that was even more pronounced a few years ago. I was also interested in seeing whether an LIW could succeed with a queer male lead, particularly a queer man of colour, given the genre’s up-to-then preference for focusing on white, straight protagonists. This is how I first developed the concepts for The Soliloquies of Santiago, Cycle 66’s queer LIW modernisation of Othello, and the seed that would turn into Dorian Gray.

Stéphane Lachance: In 2015, I approached RJ about producing a web series, as I was interested in making one as part of the final project for my Master’s degree. We brought this idea to Adam Tepperman and Gavin Phillips, with whom we’d founded Cycle 66 to pursue a graphic novel project, and with their blessing Santiago became Cycle 66’s first web series project.

RJ: Around the time we were producing The Soliloquies of Santiago, my friend Steph Ouaknine helped launch Carmilla, and we got to see that show turn into a veritable hit. It demonstrated that there was the potential for a web series audience hungry for queer protagonists engaged in supernatural shenanigans. The audience who grew up on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, just like me, who wanted to see creators take what that show started and make it more diverse, more progressive, and more, well, gay. Around the same time we saw fandom build on canon by exploring the untapped potential of subtextual queer m/m pairings in shows like Supernatural and Teen Wolf. We realised that Dorian Gray, which we had already begun early development on, might be able to do for queer male audiences (like myself) what that show offered queer women: an exciting, badass show with a canon gay couple at its centre.

SL: So after we completed Santiago, realizing the limitations of self-funding, we decided to pitch Dorian to the Cogeco Fund’s all-new Development Program for Digital Drama Series. They offer funding to develop scripts, a series bible, a proof-of-concept video and other materials. They accepted us and thus, we were able to make our trailer.

NTN: And in short, how would you describe the series to those who haven’t seen your trailer?

RJ: Dorian Gray is a visually- and tonally-ambitious queer supernatural drama, full of action and sexuality. At its core, it is the story of two broken souls who find themselves entangled with one another: Heath, an artist who saw a hint of another world and was shattered by that glimpse of the unnatural sublime; and Dorian, an immortal hedonist who, in seeing how empty his search for greater and greater pleasure became, has turned into a bitter recluse hunting for the secret that will allow him to die. The two become bound together when Heath’s search to reconnect with the supernatural stirs up the attentions of Johanna Vane, Dorian’s most dangerous enemy… and as they work to fight a common foe, they realise their new bond runs deeper than either ever expected.

It is, in short, Buffy with a touch of the Gothic influences of Penny Dreadful, made for a generation who’s ready for the very queerness Wilde was forced to keep subtextual in the original novel.

NTN: What are your roles for the series?

SL: I’ll be producing the series alongside Adam and Gavin.

RJ: I’ll be acting as showrunner, helping my Cycle 66 partners oversee a talented group of cast, crew, and writers. Our key creative team also includes All For One director Shannon Litt, who directed our trailer and will return for the series, and Carmilla’s Ellen Simpson as story editor and writer.

NTN: I know you guys went through the IPF cycle last year and I’m so glad to see that Cycle 66 is doing it again, have you done anything differently this time around, if so what?

SL: The big change, production-wise, is that we’ve partnered with REVRY, an LGBTQ-focused streaming service, to produce the series. Over the last year, and during the last IPF cycle, we were looking for a distribution partner for Dorian Gray. REVRY approached us in August after having seen the trailer and we started working with them, first by making The Soliloquies of Santiago available on their service. They’re such a great match for the project and we feel that their involvement will definitely help us make Dorian Gray a reality.

RJ: We’ve also taken the opportunity to revamp our creative in subtle but hugely important ways. By embracing the rich heart of darkness from Wilde’s original novel, and the themes of morality, sexuality, and aestheticism from the world Wilde built, we found that the show’s creative really started to shine. Part of this was in how we thought about format: originally, we saw the show as a vlog/traditional hybrid optimised for a long-tail 20+-episode YouTube run. By dropping the vlog elements and focusing on shorter seasons where we could spend the money making the show as visually and thematically rich as possible, it shifted the tone away from an earnest hero’s journey and allowed us to find the poetry and dark humour we’d always wanted to explore. This led to some adjustments in how we approached the character of Heath, who - rather than the innocent-yet-heroic protagonist you find in many conventional tales - is now a more lost, complex POV character who connects with Dorian on a much deeper level. And we’ve found that REVRY is an amazing partner in allowing the show to own its mature elements, rather than shying away from them.

NTN: Since we're on the subject of Cycle 66 and REVRY, what is REVRY and what can folks expect with that partnership?

SL: REVRY is a paid streaming service based out of LA that offers LGBTQ content, which has recently launched their first original series Gayborhood. The series would be a REVRY Original, which means that digitally, it would be available exclusively through their service. In terms of partnership, they will guide Cycle 66 through the development of the series and offer us significant support with the crowdfunding campaign we will be launching if the IPF selects us for funding. They’ll also be promoting the series and the campaign. They’ve been invaluable in guiding us up until now and I don’t expect that to change.

NTN: Can you talk about the importance of having an organization like IPF?

SL: They are unquestionably important to webseries creators and, by extension, Canada’s media industry. During my Master’s, I did some research into web series monetization and funding and got the chance to ask questions to web series producers and creators. While many of them have been finding great ways to monetize their series, the notion of being full-on profitable is still elusive. And that’s a shame because the webseries space offers the chance for new voices to crop up and for new creatives to hone their skills.

RJ: The fact that the Fund is willing to take chances like it does means that Canada is developing a passionate core of experienced web series talent, from writers to cast to crew, who know the field and are discovering what works and what doesn’t. I hear from people all the time, how strong the web series coming out of Canada are, and I think the IPF - and its sister fund the Cogeco Fund - are a big part of that. If not for the Cogeco Fund, we would not have had the resources to produce our trailer for Dorian Gray, which has been a game-changer for us as a company in terms of visibility and industry respect.

NTN: Can you talk about the IPF submission process and what that’s been like?

RJ: The IPF process has been a trial by fire for our young company. It’s really tested our skills, especially going to Phase Two last year and demonstrating our abilities as producers: budgeting, audience engagement strategies, building producible creative. It’s a massive - and massively valuable - undertaking, which is why I appreciate that the IPF has asked first-time applicants to include a mentor in submissions as of this year. It really is a reminder that you can’t just love your project: you need to be able to make others believe in it, and that requires a whole lot of numbers and figures. It’s really cool to be returning to the IPF process with more experience and, in the form of REVRY, more support from a platform that is as excited about the project as we are.

NTN: Back to the series, what creative differences will you be taking with this series that differ from the original literary adaptation?

RJ: The main two changes from our approach last year both come down to prioritizing quality over quantity: reducing our episode count to maximise our budget-per-minute, and dropping the vlog-style elements from the show. While we adore the LIW genre and think it works fantastically for some stories, for us, stepping away from vlogging as a stylistic choice unexpectedly opened up a ton of creative opportunities that kind of took us by surprise. Tonally, it allowed us to commit to a darker, stranger vision for the show - and a more complex, less earnest vision of Heath at its centre. Once we reworked Heath as a lost, damaged soul with real stakes involved in his search for Dorian and the ‘other world’, the rest of the show - including the show’s supporting cast, tone, and sense of humour - snapped into place like it was meant to be from day one.

NTN: What are you most excited for audiences to see from the series?

RJ: There are so many things, honestly. This is the series I’ve craved for years: supernatural, fun, dark, with characters standing on the very edge of another world they don’t completely understand. Huge, powerful emotions. An examination of what it means to connect with that part of the world that is so beautiful that it can destroy you, which ties so interestingly into a lot of Wilde’s thoughts on aestheticism and the value of beauty. And a queer romance at the centre of it! Between two strong-willed, interesting men whose bond is genuinely powerful. I know why fans read Destiel and Sterek fanfiction because I do too - we crave a gay romance that has that much chemistry and potency at the centre of a show like this, not just subtext. Just generally, I want to show that you can make a show with queer men at its heart that is fun, badass, and moving without forcing queer audiences to only see themselves at the sidelines. It’s something I’ve always wanted to see on TV, I’m so excited to be able to bring this to life.

SL: Just as a producer, I can’t wait for folks to see what we can do with more resources. We’ve already worked with great casts and crews on Santiago and the Dorian Gray trailer. We’ll be upping our game for this series, and that is exciting in and of itself.

RJ: Also: fight sequences! Our villain Vane, who is terrifying and fascinating and strangely sympathetic - and so, so fun to write. Our ensemble cast of supporting players, who I think will be a ton of fun to see build a rapport. While we loved producing Santiago - like Stéphane says - it is such a great opportunity to try new, bigger things. Things not shot entirely in my apartment.

NTN: Where do you hope the web series community will be in the next 5 years?

SL: In terms of making web series, I hope there are more opportunities and avenues for them to become profitable. More distributors, more buyers and more sponsors. If more creators can make money making these series, and even better, make a living doing it, there’s going to be more great shows for everyone to enjoy.

RJ: This might be a pipe dream - particularly for only five years down the line - but I’d love to reach the point where making a web series is primarily a creative choice rather than a choice coming down to resources. While I think that, as long as the form exists it offers a chance for emerging teams to show what they can do on a microbudget, I’m also really looking forward to the day when a creator or producer will be able to look at TV and web series as equally valid forms and select the one that’s creatively best for the project. Once upon a time, TV was seen as an inherently lesser art form, and I think that’s where web series are right now. If we can crack the profitability question, with all the inventive and interesting creators developing in the space, maybe reaching that point in five years is more possible than any of us realize.

NTN: Any upcoming projects that you guys can share? Or anything else to add?

RJ: Obviously, as a super-indie company, we don’t have a massive development budget for new projects, and our primary focus right now is getting Dorian Gray made. But we’re also constantly developing new concepts - for digital and beyond. We’re really excited about the opportunities for low-budget creative innovation in the podcasting space, which is one area we’re actively developing projects in. In terms of digital series, we’re exploring funding options for two really cool projects: an action-oriented queer supernatural drama with a focus on immersive worldbuilding called Dead City Blues, and an interactive sci-fi series focused on questions of AI and personhood called Beautiful Max.

SL: As for Dorian Gray specifically, we’re hard at work preparing for Phase Two, ahead of the IPF’s shortlist. We want to get ahead of everything so that we’re able to receive funding from the IPF. They typically contribute most but not all of a series’ funding, so we’re going to need fans of supernatural and queer series to get the word out to the world, so we can make sure this series gets made - and gets made right. If selected, we’ll be launching a crowdfunding campaign to secure the last portion of our budget.

RJ: And, if you guys get really excited and help us go above and beyond our ask, well, we’re still writing the scripts, but let’s just say we’ll make every single dollar count. We want to make a show so awesome it redefines what people think webseries can be: sexy, fun, dark, and honestly, better than TV. If we get the chance.
