1, 2 
He’s going to do it.
He’s going to do it, Lenny and their very separate lives be damned, Joel is going to do it.
Because he and Midge belong together. They were married, for Christ's sake. They have kids together, and it doesn’t seem like Lenny is getting out of rehab any time soon, and Mei is just...gone. 
And he and Midge belong together. 
So he shows up for dinner at her place (their place. This was their apartment), and he knocks confidently because he’s going to tell Midge that it’s time.
It is! It’s time!
But his heart sinks, because it’s not Midge who answers the door. Not Rose or Abe or Zelda. 
No. 
It’s Lenny.
Fuck.
The taller man nods earnestly. “Joel.” 
“Lenny. You’re here.” 
“Got here last night,” he explains, letting the other man in. “I wanted to surprise Midge.” 
“I’m uh...I’m sure she was surprised...” Joel mutters. 
He looks around and finds his parents and Midge’s parents chatting in the living room. Assumes Midge is in the kitchen, which is where Lenny is heading and he follows, stopping at the door, watching just out of view. 
“Joel’s here,” Lenny tells her, wrapping his arms around her gently and kissing her neck. 
Midge giggles and smiles in a way Joel doesn’t remember ever seeing. Maybe on their wedding day. Maybe. 
“Well, good, we can start getting dinner out on the table,” Midge says as she reaches back to stroke Lenny’s hair gently. 
Did she ever do that to him? Were they ever so tactile? So affectionate? Joel remembers light kisses and hand holding, but never anything so...
visceral. 
“Lenny, my parents are in the other room,” she reminds him. “And everyone is hungry.” 
“Me too,” he says into her neck. “But I don’t know that food is going to do the trick.” 
She takes in a sharp breath and laughs breathlessly. “Lenny...” 
“You saying my name like that is not going to calm me down,” Lenny jokes as he pulls away to help her.
He’s helping her in the kitchen. Really helping her. Grabbing plates of food and kissing her on his way out. 
Joel steps back, and if Lenny notices him, he doesn’t act like it.
He watches Midge as she tests out the brisket, and beams in accomplishment before lifting it up. She spots Joel and there’s that smile. 
But he knows it’s not because of him. 
“Hi.” 
“Lenny’s back,” Joel says.
“Yeah, he’s hard to miss, all that height,” she jokes on her way to the dining room. 
“Right,” Joel responds. “Right. So...you two are just picking up where you left off?” 
“No, we can’t do that,” Midge shrugs. “It’s more...moving forward together. It’s not like we haven’t been talking while he’s been in treatment. We talked a lot. And...we’re ready.” 
Joel feels the color drain from his face. “Ready?” 
Midge nods and smiles. “Yeah. I’m really happy.” 
He nods numbly. “Good. That’s-that’s good.” 
He watches her move past him into the dining room, setting the food down and nudging Lenny gently. He slips an arm around her and kisses her temple affectionately - almost tenderly - and suddenly Joel isn’t sure he’s ready for an entire evening of...all this.
But he doesn’t have much choice. His parents are here, and her parents are here, and it looks like Noah and Astrid have just shown up and for the first time, Joel is the only one without a date to one of these dinners.
He braces himself, and steps into the dining room as everyone else starts to.

Fic time!
Akiko is from Osaka (duh) and Mei likely is too, so how about a minific of them reminiscing about the city and possibly having met each other before?
Personally I don’t subscribe to the Mei is Osakan theory but Mei and Akiko knowing each other pre Rider shenanigans... is an intriguing concept... so I’m going with it~ 
This has just descended to pure chaos lmao
“EHHHH? AKIKO-SAN?!”
“MEI-CHAN?!” 
“...What the fuck?” Shoutaro said for all the flabbergasted men present, as they watched the two women squeal and embrace each other like old friends. 
“Oh my gosh, look at you! You’re all grown up!” Akiko gushed. “How long ago was it when you moved away from Osaka?”
“I was eleven, Akiko-san, so it’s been thirteen years. I didn’t know you moved here too!”
“I actually live in Fuuto, but yeah, I moved there a little after you and your family did-”
“Whoa, can we back up here for a sec?” Shoutaro interrupted the two women, whose pitch was getting higher and higher as they talked. “How the heck do you two know each other?”
“Oh! I was originally from Osaka, but like I said, I moved to Tokyo when I was eleven.” Mei explained. “Akiko-san and her mom lived next door to my family. She even used to babysit me when I was little!”
“Oh...” Touma muttered, looking at his senpai. “So you’re both from Osaka...”
“Huh? What’s the problem with that, ahou?!” Akiko spat at Touma, slipping into Kansai-dialect with the insult. 
“N-Nothing! It’s just that you’re both...” The novelist looked pleadingly at the other swordsmen, begging for a rescue.
“What Touma means is that you’re both very passionate and energetic,” Rintaro said smoothly, with his most charming smile on his face. 
Instantly the older of the two women calmed down, her ruffled feathers soothed. “Aw, Mei-chan! You got yourself a real catch here!” Akiko said approvingly. “He’s so adorable! I bet he’s a good boyfriend to you!”
Rintaro’s cheeks reddened as he looked away, adorably shy. Mei, slightly embarrassed, began to say, “Uh... Akiko-san...”
“Or maybe you’re dating this one? He’s the strong and silent type isn’t he? That’s pretty appealing...” She looked Kento up and down. “And he’s kinda hot, to be honest!” 
Kento blushed deeply, and Akiko’s husband, Ryu, spat out his coffee in shock. “Ch-Chief!” he cried, nearly pouting.
“And this one...” Akiko turned her appraising eyes onto Touma. “Well... I guess he’s not so bad, if he’s an award winning novelist and all. Not bad on the eyes either.” 
Touma made a face as if he didn’t know whether he was just complimented or insulted.“For the love of God, Akiko.” Shoutaro groaned, covering his face with his palm. 
“Aki-chan,” Philip interrupted. “These four are all dating and fucking each other,” he said, utterly nonplussed by what he just revealed. 
Akiko stared owlishly at Philip, opening and closing her mouth soundlessly. The quartet all started sputtering incoherently, while Shoutaro smacked Philip on the head. “Oi, you can’t just say things like that all of a sudden! Do you have no sense of delicacy?!”
“I see no point in beating around the bush with it,” Philip said in confusion. “It’s not like Fukamiya hasn’t been called out in the Rider chat by that swordsmith because he overheard them fu-”
“H-How do you even know that?!” Kento yelped, then covered his mouth as he went even redder, realizing that he just confirmed what Philip said. 
“Wait, what do you mean- has Daishinji-san heard us?!” Mei exclaimed. “And you didn’t tell us he knew?!”
“I’m sorry!” Kento wailed, covering his face. “I just- it was so embarrassing-”
“Oh Christ- no wonder he couldn’t look me in the eye at training the other day...” groaned Touma.
“We must apologize to him soon... perhaps we can bring him some chocolate eclairs to make up for it...?”
“What... So you four are really...?!” Akiko shrieked, stopping them in their tracks.
“Yeah...” Mei nodded, suddenly looking bashful, as did the three other boys.
Akiko sighed deeply. “You have your work cut out for you, don’t you?” 
“My... work?”
“Yeah. You have to wrangle these idiots in a lot, don’t you?” She asked, gesturing to the three boys. “They do lots of stupid shit, don’t they?”
“...Yeah, I guess?” Touma, Kento and Rintaro simultaneously gave Mei wounded looks.
“Uh-oh... I don’t like where this is going...” Shoutaro muttered.
Akiko looped her arm around Mei’s, a sly smile on her face. “Then it’s a good thing that the girls and I were supposed to meet up tonight. I can introduce you... and we can teach you our ways.”
“Teach me... what?” Mei asked in confusion, as Akiko lead her away from the boys.
“Oh no...” Shoutaro paled. 
“Not that... anything but that!” Philip exclaimed, looking panicked.
“Uh... should we be concerned?” Rintaro asked befuddlement, watching as his senior dropped his cup of coffee, the mug shattering on the floor.
“They’re going to teach her that. That technique.... the one that could send even Tsukasa to his knees...” Shoutaro whispered in horror, then looked at his three juniors mournfully. “You boys... better ready your souls.”
“...What the fuck?!”

idk why i’m writing this at 2:36 AM but it’s probably bc seeing meyer so vulnerable makes me soft. anyway
Pairing: Charlie x Meyer (wow big surprise there)
Warnings: language?
//
As the gun in Eli’s hand pointed at the back of Meyer’s head, he couldn’t help but focus on the images that ran through his mind. He stumbled over his words and begged the men to let him live.
He went back to his childhood, the bliss of innocence coating his mind. He thought of the day he met the older Italian he now called his boyfriend on the street. How his first words to him were “go fuck yourself.”
He thought of AR, how he had taught him everything he knew. How he never had the chance to thank him for everything. How, at any second, he could be joining him.
He even thought of Benny. Though he was immature and couldn’t take their business seriously without putting a bullet in someone’s head, Meyer considered him his family.
He thought of how it felt when he first heard Charlie tell him he loved him. How he finally felt safe, ready to settle down with someone. How he knew he loved Charlie back. How he might never get to see the man he loved ever again.
As the gun lowered and the men filed away after Meyer agreed to do what they said, Meyer finally let out a breath. He placed his hands on the ground and let out the sobs he was holding in. He could barely breathe, trying to calm his racing heart. He’d never been that close to death before. Though he was in a business that gambled with his life, this was different.
He finally rose to his feet, brushing the dirt off the knees of his dress pants. He slowly began to walk, running his fingers through the mess on top of his head.
He got a lift from a man that saw him on the dirt path. When he arrived back to Charlie’s suite, he gulped before opening the door. He walked inside and was greeted by a very angry Charlie.
“Meyer, where have you b-“ he started, but cut himself off when he noticed Meyer’s appearance. His suit jacket was missing, the dress shirt he was wearing was ripped and his tie was loosened. His pants were dirty and he was drenched in sweat. The grease holding his hair in place had fully melted away and left his hair tossled.
“Jesus Christ” He expression softened, then tensed again. “Who the fuck did this to you?” he asked, slamming his glass down and putting his hand on Meyer’s cheek.
All strength that Meyer had left dissolved and he practically collapsed in the Italian’s arms. He let out small sobs again, clinging onto Charlie.
“Y-you have no idea-“ he started, “how fuckin’ scared I was” he managed to say.
Charlie wrapped his arms around the younger man and held him close, like he was protecting him from the whole world. “Nucky-“ he breathed shakily, “he- he wants me dead.”
“Thompson?” Charlie seethed, pulling back to meet Meyer’s eyes. “Thompson did this to ya?”
All Meyer could do was nod as he ran his fingers through his hair. Charlie began to pace in anger, already plotting what to do to the man that hurt his lover. “I’m gonna fuckin-“
“Charlie,” Meyer cut him off, “Not now” he sighed.
Charlie’s expression softened as he sighed. “Alright, Mey, Alright” he started, “I’m gonna run ya a bath, you’re gonna relax and i’m gonna take care of this, ya ain’t gotta worry” he said.
Meyer was too exhausted to argue as he closed his eyes and let out a sigh.

Not Just One Hell of a Butler
Here is a story scenario I never thought I would ever write out when getting into kuro. But it happened!
This story takes place in the regular canon time, sometime. Not sure of which arc, though. But the point is, at some point Sebastian and Grelle got together, were a couple for a bit... and then SUDDENLY.. a certain lovestruck maid of phantomhive is confessing her love! To both reaper and demon!!
So what happens next..? Well, the three of them talk, and then decide to test things out! And lo and behold, find that they truly do fit like a glove together. ❤️
But that’s only the prologue! What happens in THIS story is long after the trio have gotten together, when they’re starting to feel like a real true couple, and absolutely NOTHING could possible come up to tarnish it! Right..?
Well, nothing except for a little secret the demon of the group has actually been hiding from his human lover all this time...
So, with a little help from her love Grelle (In the form of a letter done by none other than my dear sweet partner in crime @grelleswife 🖤) Mey-rin makes it her NEW mission to sort things out between her and Sebastian!
Also this story has hints of NSFW a bit, just so you know~
Sebastian was most definitely acting off, Mey-rin confirmed, her sharp eyes even sharper now as they studied the demon when they could, like when they passed each other in the halls or on the stairs.
Getting to view him from the front, the maid noticed he couldn’t even disguise whatever was wrong behind a mask of polite indifference, and when she’d dare to greet him as well, he would give her the very weakest little smile she’d ever seen on him.
It almost physically hurt to see, even though she had no clue what was going on.
They had all known each other for up to five years now, and Mey-rin liked to think they’d all become very close in that time.
Well, perhaps some closer than others...
In truth, though they still acted out their proper roles during the daytime and absolutely never caused any mischief while working around the manor, the head maid and the head butler had been very carefully and quietly working their way into each others lives on a more... personal level.
Oh it made Mey-rin flustered just thinking about it!! But she couldn’t help it when it was still such an unbelievable thing! Sebastian Michaelis... finally accepting her feelings...
And not only that but.. but.. that gorgeously outrageous supposed “Grim Reaper” known as Grelle Sutcliff cared about her as well!
Those two had been together behind closed doors for a bit before the water gates had finally flooded for the maid, just.. spilling out everything and not expecting a good reaction.
However, to her surprise, both reaper and butler had stepped forward to comfort her, and then soon after.. discussed things with her that Mey-rin had NEVER imagined!!
She’d sworn her face had been red for DAYS after that glorious time, and yet.. she never awoke from such a ridiculous fantasy. Pinching herself never did anything either!
So now, here she was, with two amazing lovers. One she got to see every single day for possibly the rest of her life! And the other.. well, as a “Grim Reaper” it made it difficult for Grelle to find free time to come back and be with them, but she definitely made it worth it when she could! Scooping Mey-rin up, twirling her around, kissing her with abandon... going to do the same to the butler who stood by watching with a look he now had had since this started as if he too was in amazement..
And then they’d peel off layers and talk long into the night, while still showering each other with affection.. and sometimes... more~ !
“OY- MEY!” 
Mey-rin immediately started, suddenly aware of her current location of just in the middle of the upstairs hall, with a mop and bucket, and sort of just... snuggling the mop handle like a certain someone she wanted to hold forever and ever!
“AHH!” She squealed and pushed the mop handle away, and just enough to make it push the BUCKET over too. “AHH!” She yelped again, flailing her arms.
Bardroy, who was currently the only other soul in the hall, groaned out and hurried forward to grab the poor girl and try to stop her flailing. “Aw jeeze, Mey, calm down! I’ll help ya with that! I was just tryin’ to get yer attention!”
“Wh-what?! Why’s that, Bard?” She asked, quickly becoming calmer and flopping her arms down.
“Yeah, I just needed yer help in the kitchen.. kinda uh, went overboard with the bakin’..” He gradually looked more and more sheepish as he explained.
Mey-rin let out the loudest sigh, slouching even more.
.. However, wait! Perhaps her fellow coworker could help her as well! Sure Mey-rin, Sebastian and Grelle had kept their endeavors with each other a secret for the most part, especially in the mansion, but that didn’t mean Bardroy couldn’t help a little in a general sense of figuring out what could be wrong with their head butler! Perhaps even HE had noticed a slight offness in him??
“Alright, let’s get a towel for this mess and then I’ll help you down there, Bard!” She confirmed, smiling to the chef who looked about ready to deflate with relief.
“... However..!” Mey-rin quickly added, feeling a bit of extra courage go through her for a moment as she thought of the possibility of solving this being a quick fix! It could be easy with the help of her friend, right..?
“Uh, yeah?” Bard prompted, sorta.. dragging a boot over the rug, pulling it towards the little water puddle a bit...
“....” Mey-rin’s courage quickly plummeted as other possibilities of how this discussion could go WRONG started flooding her..
“... Nevermind, le-let’s go.”
“Wha?! What was THAT about?! MEY!”
“SHHH- SHUSH Bard, just come on!!”
Eventually the two servants got to their current objective, cleaning up a huge flour and egg and dough mess in the kitchen... Along with.. smashed pumpkins, for some reason???
Mey-rin looked up at Bard.
“I WAS TRYIN’ T’MAKE PUMPKIN PIE, OKAY?!”
So now they finally were in the process of cleaning this disaster, Mey-rin still distracted with her concerns and Bardroy absolutely unaware and just rambling on about how he thought a hammer had been the best way to take care of the pumpkins for the pie!
“So yeah, I woulda just put the pumpkin guts an’ stuff right in the pie and we’d be good t’ go! Or y’know, so I thought!”
“..You thought, did you?” Came a new familiar voice from the entrance, and sounding familiarly perturbed over this.
“AH, oh Christ! H-hey Sebastian..” Bardroy shot up from his stool and stood at attention.
The Butler was indeed now in the doorframe, and yet.. as Mey-rin looked over from her position across the room, even just the way he stood there looked.. off.
Sebastian was not standing straight for once. He was actually.. leaning to one side, arms crossed and legs crossed and looking for all the world like he did not want to be there.
He really wasn’t even trying to hide it currently that something was wrong.
“Yes, hello, Bard. I see you also decided to make Mey-rin help you clean up your mess.” The Butler threw out, the annoyance more clear in his voice now than ever.
Oh dear.. perhaps it was just that Sebastian was not having a good day overall?? Perhaps it was something between him and the young master??
Mey bit her lip hard, swallowing and quickly stepping forward.
“No, no no, Sebastian! He may have come to me, yes, but I- I wholly wished to- to help him, alright?! It’s alright!” She realized her voice sounded way more like she was trying to sooth someone upset and hurt with her instead of an angry butler over another kitchen catastrophe. 
“We- We got this, yes we do, lo-lo- !!” She quickly stopped herself from saying ‘love’ as soon as she could, slapping her hands over her mouth and trying to rethink QUICKLY. “l... lOOK AWAY, it’ll be okay!” She nearly shrieked out.
And then.. oh, what.. what was that look Sebastian was giving her??
Now that she’d finished blabbing out her own take on the situation, she was able to focus on looking. And it.. only made things worse.
Sebastian’s pretty thin eyebrows had lifted, his pupils seemed to have shrunk (from what the sharp eyed maid could tell), and his mouth had gone from a familiar scowl to a very.. unfamiliar little ... pout-like shape?? Was that even possible for Sebastian? To POUT?!
“... Fine. I’ll leave you two to your business..” He spoke, adjusting quickly as he did to a proper straight posture once more and whirling around to walk away.
But.. his voice.. It- It had sounded so soft and tired. An absolute turn around from how he’d just been talking before!!
It made Mey-rin’s heart start to race and clench at the same time. She had to hug the mop handle once again! She had to--
“Hey, Mey.”
Bardroy seemed almost prepared this time, coming to her real close and shaking her shoulders a quick moment.
“Hah?! Uh- wha- what??”
“Hey, hey, c’mon now, shhh. Calm yer self, Mey.” He said, much quieter, his focus now on his companion entirely.
Mey-rin blinked and blinked, then finally shot a hand up to rub at her eye under her glasses.
“Um, I- I’m sorry Bard! I dunno why I’m gettin’ like this, no! I just-”
“Mey, come on.. let’s sit down an’ talk, alright?”
...
Mey-rin stared up at Bard as if he’d spoken a totally different language.
Sighing, Bardroy nearly dragged the confounded maid over to a stool and sat her down, then went over and closed the kitchen door before coming back to sit beside her. 
Once both were sitting, Bard lit up a cigarette and once again stared Mey-rin in the face.
“Alright, kid. What’s goin’ on?”
Mey-rin promptly grabbed at her glasses and took them off, putting them on the table they sat at and going back to rubbing at her eyes; only now with both hands in on the action.
“It’s- it’s really really complicated so, I can’t explain everythin’, Bard, but I- I... Currently, you see I think somethin’ is wrong with- with Sebastian, yes I do! But- I dunno what ‘cause normally he never gets like this! I’ve never seen this before! I mean he gets irritated and angry, all the time, yes, but this is.. this is... I...”
She started to cry.
She had no idea why she was crying over it, when so far she’d been managing their new roles and secret endeavors fairly well! At least she’d thought so!
But then this had to happen! Just as she was settling in, suddenly Sebastian seemed.. off! Not himself! At all!!
Bardroy had moved closer, hands darting out looking ready to yank her hands off her face, then deciding to get in closer and, wrap around her and pull the young woman close, letting her head fall against his upper chest.
He wasn’t clear on what else to do, but he tried to go with instincts..
“Soo.. ya think maybe one’a us did somethin’, or you did somethin’ in particular to set him off maybe?” He tried to keep the conversation going, even through her crying. Though Bard cared dearly about Mey-rin’s current state, he knew they only had so much time to work with.
Before the butler likely came back again.. And Bard had an inkling things would get much worse if the man saw the two servants together in this position instead of what they should’ve been doing right now.
“Th-that’s what I been thinkin’ yes, but but also that there’s more to it than that! Like somethin’ else is.. is goin’ on! Somethin’ he obviously is so t-torn up about he can’t say!”
By now the full out crying had stopped, thankfully, but Mey-rin still felt utterly anguished and desperate for some sort of answer to this before it got worse.
“Well,” Bard sighed out, freeing one hand to scratch his head. “from what we’ve known of Sebastian, the usual things that get ‘is goat are jus’ US or the young master bein’ extra bratty or some kind of case they’re dealin’ with. That would definitely make sense, ‘cause it’d explain how he’s so closed off! Can’t discuss a case with us unless we can get involved somehow, right?”
Mey-rin nodded in agreement with most of Bard’s points, but still knew that there was something else missing. Something entirely different in this than all the other times Sebastian’s mood had gone sour.
For this time, it seemed the butler had no energy to be truly mad, and it also felt as if it wasn’t entirely anger that he was feeling currently.
The closest Mey-rin could get to thinking of a similar kind of mood was.. something she had perhaps felt. Only her. She had no clue on Bard or others, but.. 
“Bard..”
“.. Yeah?”
“D’you think maybe.. Sebastian.. has recently... lost someone he cares about? Like..” Mey-rin’s eyes grew gradually larger. “Like maybe.. one of the cats he cares about ‘round the manor?? Maybe-- maybe one of ‘em DIED, Bard!” Suddenly, her eyes were fogged over again and THIS time, the woman was GRABBING Bard and SHAKING him. “MAYBE ONE OF HIS KITTENS DIED, AND HE’S SUFFERIN’ ALL ALONE ALL THIS TIME, BARD!!”
“M-M- MEY! HANG ON! COME ON!! STOP!!” 
As a last resort with the hysterical woman, Bardroy thought to grab her BACK by the shoulders and try to YANK her off. But.. her grip hadn’t been that tight, and well.. suddenly Mey-rin was falling backwards off her stool, but grabbing onto Bardroy’s shirt front instinctually to try to prevent it, only to end up making him fall as well.
And in the worst possible position ever.
Groaning, Bard pushed his hands on the floor to lift his upper body up, instinctually knowing he couldn’t stay down and crush the poor girl.
“Ah, Jesus, Mey!” He groaned out, feeling a kink in his back flair up from this display of athleticism.
“Oh- Oh no- I- I- I’m so sorry, Bard, I was havin’ a moment again, yes I was, and I-”
SLAM.
Both servants went entirely silent and stalk still at that noise.
There was nothing but a tiny little glimpse of a pause after that before that voice graced their ears.
“Get up, Bardroy.”
At once Bardroy was up, no back pain in sight as he shot up faster than a bullet zipping out of one of Mey-rin’s rifles.
He would’ve seen Mey-rin do a similar attempt of getting up as well if not for his gaze now TRAPPED in the scalding, hellish glare that was Sebastian Michaelis’ eyes across the room.
“Seb- Sebastian it’s--”
Tone becoming only slightly more level, Sebastian jerked his head a little at the hall behind him.
“Leave, Mey-rin.”
“Wh-what do you mean-”
“I mean I will talk to you in a moment. Now leave.”
Mey-rin felt her eyes prick up with tears again, her hands curl into fists. No, no this wasn’t right. This wasn’t how this was going to go!
Not if she had anything to say on it!
“I’m not leaving without you on tow, Sebastian.”
Mey-rin grabbed her glasses where she’d put them down on the table, but did not put them on yet. No. She stared the butler down hard.
“We need to talk now.”
And that, was when suddenly things seemed to change in a direction very different from the servants usual screw-ups.
As Mey-rin moved almost mechanically around the table, marching up to Sebastian, she stopped right in front of him, and grabbed him by the tie!
“Come on.”
And with that, no matter how mixed up and confused Mey-rin’s mind had been and still was, she single-handedly asserted her dominance over her dear demon lover and hauled him down the hallway.
And... for some reason, Sebastian was actually letting her.
She... couldn’t think about it, all she could do was keep GOING.
So she dragged the butler all the way through to the end of the hallway, past the stairs, and then shoved the front door open and lead him outside.
“There!” She blurted, stopping them, and then quickly released Sebastian’s tie and put her glasses on so she could look up into his face while they finally just.. talked.
“That was- Ah, I did not expect this turn of events..” Was Sebastian’s first response, and it was clear to even him that that wasn’t the best response.
“Well... neither did I, no! But you see, you left me no choice, now.” Mey-rin replied, blushing furiously as she thought of what she HAD JUST DONE and yet trying not to dwell on it too much!
“I- I left you no choice..?” Sebastian echoed, sounding mildly confused and once again a bit.. off. 
His voice kept diving into a strange softness that just STILL felt so wrong! And then Mey-rin looked over his posture once more. One arm down at his side as usual, but his right was strangely up in an interesting pose at his chest.. Not in the way he would do when bowing to someone, but his hand was curled in a bit of a fist.. The first thing this kind of posture reminded Mey-rin of was like.. a lady! A demure lady, no less!
What in the world was going on?! Could losing a kitten reduce Sebastian to acting like this???
“Yes! Yes you did, Sebastian! Because I- I’ve really needed to talk to you for the longest time, yes I have!”
She shot out her hands suddenly, taking his curled up one in her tiny ones and trying to pull it closer..
“... Sebastian.” She too lowered her tone. “Please, tell me why you are.. acting like.. like this?” And all she could think to do was squeeze that hand tight, and then (after the idea burst into her brain like an explosive) start to peel off the crisp white glove, to get to the bare pale flesh under it.. to maybe... kiss--
Sebastian let out a sharp gasp and pulled his hand back. In fact, he took a step back all together!
Mey-rin looked up almost pleadingly into his eyes, only to be met with.. a blushing Sebastian??
Eyebrows skyrocketing, Mey-rin once again tried to close the gap, BUT she held back from touching.
“What is it? Am I doin’ something wrong, Sebastian??”
“I, well, it’s -” Sebastian’s usually sharp eyes were darting around now while he quickly pulled his glove back on. “You are doing absolutely nothing wrong, Mey-rin.. It is merely... I am merely...” After a pause where he looked ready to bolt any second, Sebastian huffed out a rather high-toned sigh and turned away, as if he couldn’t even FACE her!
“Merely what?” Mey-rin choked out, swallowed, then started to reach out again.. “... P-Please... love... I.. I am here for you and whatever you are dealing with, I will listen..”
“I can’t- I can’t tell you.. It isn’t as simple as--” He was so rigid, turned entirely away now, arms clearly moving around to wrap around.. himself. He was hugging himself...!
“You and I both know that I’ve already heard of a lot of things by now that aren’t simple...”
He simply shook his head, and then went even stiffer when Mey-rin tried wrapping her arms around him from behind..
“I... I...”
“Sebastian,” Mey-rin was all but whispering, so softly, so carefully. “Please. Just tell me.”
Another expelling of breath, this time shakier, and also, this time when Sebastian spoke, the simple words almost sounded like they were coming from miles away or deep down a long, dark well..
“... I can’t.”
And suddenly Mey-rin was hugging air.
“AH!”
Instantly she fell flat on her face.
...
Heaving a loud groan of defeat, Mey-rin sat up on the stony front steps and readjusted her glasses.
“Oh bloody hell,” She muttered, crossing her arms. “I give up! there’s only one other option for this and it had better work!”
And so, when Mey-rin retired to her room that night, she got to work swiftly on a letter.
To my lovely Grelle,
  I hope this letter reaches you quickly, for I’m afraid I am in dire need of your advice! I really did not want to resort to asking you, for I know you are quite busy over there, in wherever it is that place is! But I was left with no choice! You see there has been something wrong with Sebastian, I fear! He is acting most unlike himself constantly, though he still tries his best to do his job, I can pick up clearly these little things that are very different about him! What were those things called? It was a very strange word. New anses? I think it was something like that! You will probably know it when you read this! Anyway, those things are very different from how he normally acts! You know, smirking or looking smug, making dramatic motions and poses and doing well EVERYTHING dramatic!! But now it seems as if something has taken those things away, and replaced them! It really worries me, considering he won’t even tell me what it is that is wrong! In fact, just before writing this, I tried to confront him the best I could! But for some reason he refused to talk! He seemed almost timmid! I think that’s the word! Like being scared but I don’t know why he would be scared of me, or telling me about this! Oh, I hope you will have an answer, Grelle. I am really lost now, and since you were with him like this longer than me, I am hoping maybe he showed you this side too? Please tell me! I want to help him too! Oh if only you were with us more! I really miss you! And I miss all of us being together!
I hope to hear from you soon,
XOXO Mey-rin
Smiling in satisfaction, (and ignoring all the horrid ink stains) Mey-rin carefully rolled the paper up and tied it up tight with a bit of string. This was basically the only way for the woman to communicate with her other lover Grelle, a fascinating system the reaper had explained and showed her after the first night they’d been together.
“With this, our hearts can always be connected my sweet Mey-mey! No matter how far apart we are!”
Of course the need to use it hadn’t really come up before now, but Mey-rin was certain this was a perfect time to try it out finally!
Opening the one lone window facing out towards the side of the manor, Mey-rin put her fingers to her mouth as had been instructed and let out a quick, short whistle to the open air.
And soon enough, a.. little pigeon appeared and carefully landed on the small window sill available.
“Oh my, aren’t you cute!” Mey couldn’t help gushing, but the plump little bird simply stared up at her expectantly...
...
“Oh yeah!!” Mey cried and quickly fumbled with the little rolled up and tied letter, remembering every little step her love had told her, from beginning to end, as she tied the letter ever so carefully to the leg of the pigeon.
And then once that was done, with even more gentleness than before, Mey lifted the pigeon in both hands and then.. thrust it out the window.
Her heart fluttered as wildly as the pigeons wings were as she watched it head out, in exactly the same direction it had come.
Could it be traceable, perhaps..?
Apparently not, for one blink of her sharp eyes and the pigeon was completely gone from sight!
Sighing, Mey-rin closed her window again and turned to prepare for bed, her mind back to brimming with questions and doubts.
“Oh please, Grelle..” Mey whispered softly in the darkness as she got under the covers, “help me find the way back to Sebastian’s heart... I know you must know.. the way..”
And sleep embraced her.
---
The following morning, when the maid returned to consciousness, she couldn’t help the sudden bolt of energy she felt as the prospect of getting the desired response!! She shot out of bed in a rather unusual energetic state for this early, rushing to her window and flinging it open!
...
And found nothing.
Mey-rin even leaned out as far as she could without the chance of falling to see if maybe the bird she was looking for had perhaps landed somewhere else..?
Nope. Still nothing!
Sighing loudly with irritation, Mey-rin turned away and tried her best to ignore her growing sadness again as she got ready for the day. 
But she couldn’t help asking over and over how in the world was she going to go out there and face him after everything that had happened yesterday?! And what about BARD as well?? After her sudden obviously suspicious behavior in the kitchen, even he would likely have a clue as to what was going on between Butler and Maid!
And what if... Bardroy disapproved? He’d always been quite overprotective of their new little found family here. Would the man possibly put his boot down on this? Would he get up in Sebastian’s face, risk life and limb, to tell him off for starting something with her?!
WOULD BARDROY SIGN HIS OWN DEATH WARRANT OVER A SILLY THING LIKE A LOVERS SPAT BETWEEN SEBASTIAN AND HER?!!
“Oh Bardroy, no!!” Mey cried out loud in the middle of her room, her thoughts whirling, and her hearing just barely picking up the strange noise coming from behind her...
Tap, tap, tap tap tap...
When it finally did register, Mey-rin nearly jumped at the out-of-place noise, whirling around and shooting a hand down for her hidden gun on her hip..
Tap, tap tap tap tap...
Oh. It was just a bird tapping on the windo-- IT WAS THE PIGEON!!
This time Mey-rin did jump, and yet it was for glee as she scurried over to open the window once again and scoop up the precious little bird.
“Oh thank you, thank you thank you!” She hissed out, even going so far as to give the bird a quick little peck on it’s tiny head before she released it and shut the window for the final time.
Mey-rin leapt back into bed like a little girl ready to hear a good bedtime story, untying the bright red shimmering little rope around the paper and unravelling it.
Her stomach couldn’t help but do a little happy dance inside her as she read Grelle’s letter.
My dearest darling Mey-mey,
Oh dear…It sounds like our Bassy is out of sorts. Not showing his usual flair for the dramatic? Little nuances (you spell it with a “u,” darling; the English language is such a tricky bugger!) in his behavior that seem a bit “off”? I can’t say for certain without laying eyes on that beautiful demon myself, but my lover’s intuition might have the answer. I shouldn’t say too much—it would probably be better if you heard it directly from Bassy—but I think our handsome devil is feeling uncomfortable in his skin, so to speak. You know how I sometimes have dark days when being in this body of mine feels like torture, or a curse? Well, darling Sebas goes through times a bit like that, on occasion. Not exactly the same, mind you, but close. How silly of him, being too scared to tell you what’s the matter! I think he’s afraid that you’d judge him, or just wouldn’t understand. I know that isn’t true, darling, but Bassy can be a bloody idiot. Really, I wouldn’t know what to do with that butler if he wasn’t so drop dead gorgeous! With a spot of luck, I should be able to get away from the dispatch this week to visit you two and talk some sense into our dove-feathered raven. I long to taste those heavenly lips of yours, darling…
But I digress! Back to the matter at hand. In times of crisis, ladies must help their sweethearts, mustn’t they? First, when you’re in private, tell Bassy that he’s pretty. Not handsome, not dashing. Pretty. Don’t call him “mister” or “sir,” if you can help it. In situations like this, even the smallest of words can mean the difference between happiness and misery.
You know those hair clips I gave you a while back? The ones that come in pretty shapes like butterflies and flowers? Try putting a few in Bassy’s hair. I know men don’t often wear such things, but trust me. Little Sebas will love them, especially now. A final piece of advice: Be bold with him. Hold his hand more tightly than you otherwise would, and don’t be afraid to take charge in bed! You’ve seen me in action when it’s all three of us together, so you know how a woman can reign sovereign over that demon. I can just picture your rose-red blush upon reading these words, Mey-mey (Oh, mon ange!), but now is not the time to be shy, as much as I love that sweetness of yours.
I miss you both to distraction. If only I were at the manor with you now, instead of buried beneath this damn paperwork! But fear not—I’ll send word as soon as I know when I can visit. I shall fly into your arms more swiftly than Cupid’s arrow, my love!
With deepest devotion and fiery passion,
Your Grelle
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Eyes trapped staring at the familiar bright red lipstick stain at the bottom of the paper, Mey-rin lost herself in thinking over her other lover’s advice.
It was.. certainly unexpected! Well, alright not all of it. The part about “taking charge in bed” was something Mey-rin had had an inkling might be brought up by Grelle Sutcliff; likely the most lustful lady Mey-rin had ever met! (Not counting Nina...)
However the rest had taken a turn Mey-rin had never imagined! Calling him “pretty”?? Not calling him mister or sir?! ... PUTTING HAIR CLIPS IN HIS HAIR?!
Mey-rin couldn’t help the reflex of scoffing a bit, looking up finally to stare around her room while she tried to combine these strange new possibilities with the demon she had known for five years, feeling like it had to be impossible that these answers would ever add up!
Until she recalled exactly how said demon had acted yesterday when she’d confronted him.
His face, his posture.. he’d looked so cornered like some.. bashful lady at something like a big party or some such! He’d looked almost like-- !
....
Like me!
All the times Mey-rin had found herself pinned or cornered, being backed into a spot she could not escape, either literally or figuratively! It hadn’t happened much these days, but back when she’d first began here, there’d been millions of times. From Lady Elizabeth’s “redecorating” to being persuaded to wear dresses (or even swimwear on occasion!) that she was definitely not used to at all.
And she could never forget the nightmares of being at those parties, having men target her either as the hired help or as just a pretty face in a dress, trying to win her over...
Mey-rin briefly went back and forth with the images in her mind- of Sebastian yesterday turned slightly away, hand in a fist curled up to his chest, eyes escaping to the side.. shimmering with something.. so strongly held back.. His mouth a small pout like he was mildly unhappy with the situation, and yet the soft blush rising on his face... it told a different story! -to her own remembered experience of being that wallflower; a slip of a girl at a fancy ball, face bursting with red and eyes also turned away behind her large rounded glasses, and both her hands curled up protectively to her chest...
“Oh... my ... GOD!” Mey-rin gasped out at this revelation occurring in her head.
Sebastian wanted to be a WOMAN?!
But why?! HOW?! and WHY NOW?!! Sebastian had never shown any signs like this before, and he seemed to really enjoy being a butler and a MAN as long as Mey-rin had known him! Even when she now knew under that guise was some kind of supernatural, hellish creature that may not normally abide by human norms such as being labelled a gender of some sort, he certainly didn’t seem uncomfortable to HER in looking and acting like a human male!
Though, looking back into the letter, Mey-rin recalled Grelle mentioning he felt “uncomfortable in his skin” but it wasn’t exactly like what she dealt with!
Then.. what was it?!
Hmmm, she said it was “on occasion”.. So that may explain why she’d never seen this before until now! Perhaps.. perhaps it was more like when clothes and shoes began to wear down after being used so long? Sebastian had been a butler for quite a while, after all... And who knows what he’d been before this and for how long.
Had Sebastian in the past, in other “contracts”, been a female..?
And what had.. she looked like?
Mey-rin’s mind instantly answered with images of a possible female rendition of her demon love, imagining a similar height and similar build, but her body curvy and softer... her face rounder and eyes bigger... lips...
Knock, knock! came from her door and Mey-rin QUICKLY shook her head and smacked the sides of her face with her palms to snap out of it!
“.. Time to get to work, Mey-rin.” came Sebastian’s usual voice. Just.. quieter and almost plain sounding.
“Y-Yes! I’ll be right out, Mis-- Er ah Sebastian!” Mey-rin stammered, remembering at the last minute what Grelle had told her about using certain words and not using certain words.
“even the smallest of words can mean the difference between happiness and misery”
Mey-rin was definitely going to keep that in mind. To see how things went if she perhaps just followed Grelle’s advice to the letter!
She almost didn’t hear Sebastian’s feet quietly clomping away without a response back, she was so pumped to try this!
I trust you with all my heart on this, love! She thought with a bit of heat sinking into her face, and then quickly headed out!
Of course Sebastian along with everyone else was already in the kitchen when she finally made it. And as usual Mey-rin planted her feet in line next to Bardroy, standing straight and proper, arms at her sides, shoulders squared, and eyes boring into the butler across the way.
Sebastian.. went on as usual, though. Listing off today’s chores and everything, eyes more on the papers in his hands than anything else.
Finally, though, he looked up and took all the servants in.
“- Is that understood?” He prompted, like any head butler should.
And of course, everyone automatically shot their hands up to their forehead in a salute.
“YES, SIR!”
“..Yes, Sebastian!” Mey-rin cried, timing it perfectly to shout just after everyone else, a big happy smile on her face, just like any other day, right?
... Even Snake was looking at the maid as if she’d spoken something utterly blasphemous.
However, Mey-rin did not care about their reactions. All she cared about was seeing that butler snap his head over to look at her, staring long and hard as if he were asking her ‘what the hell are you up to?’
And yet still she remained in place, still saluting, still smiling, and waited.
“Very well, off to work then.” Sebastian entoned, not bothering to put the papers down for once but merely slapping them and his other hand together in a clap.
And then his eyes darted for those papers again.. turned away, almost as if trying to.. escape.
This proved to only make it easier for Mey-rin to stealthily slip up beside him, and shoot up and kiss his cheek. Firmly.
“..I.. I think you really look pretty today, dear.” She nearly squeaked out, nerves giving in a little. But it wasn’t going to entirely stop her! No way!
And was rewarded grandly for her efforts by seeing Sebastian Michaelis turn... pink! He shifted a little to face her now, eyebrows lifting and eyes widening, and Mey-rin felt her heart dancing with victory.
All she could do was grin, give the butler a WINK, and tell him “See you in a bit, my darling!”
And then Mey-rin BOLTED OUTTA THERE, trying to contain a squeal that kept building and building AND BUILDING!!
It’s working! I think it’s WORKING, Grelle! She shrieked in her mind, wishing her reaper was there to tackle in an embrace and bounce around a bit.
But no, not yet. Soon she would be, but in the meantime, Mey-rin knew now what she had to do! She KNEW she could do this!!
Over the course of the day, Mey-rin made sure even while still doing her job to run into the same path as the butler.
She started off with just giving him more of those side-eyes and smiles, winks and lingering stares.
This rapidly dissolved to stopping him for a quick cheek kiss here and there, maybe more than one! The more she kissed Sebastian’s flustered soft face, the more she really learned to appreciate it, wanting to see it more! Wanting to touch it more! Wanting to grab him up with all her strength and pin him to a wall! Lifting those long legs (or at least one), and gripping and squeezing his hip with the other tightly as she delved into the hot gasping cavern of his gaping mouth, moaning back along with him.. He was so hot, so gorgeous, she wanted to ravage this demon!
“M-Mey- I- I- I want,” Sebastian was gasping as he arched against a wall, not caring the least at the new slightly awkward arrangement of being aggressively smothered by the smaller woman. “I-I need -!” 
Mey-rin only pulled away a few inches, still breathing harshly against his jaw and neck.
It took her a moment to think of what to say in this situation, for all she had really worked out was just dishing out more affection than before to the demon, but now as her brain started to come back to reality a moment, putting the slowly spiralling down smut to the side for an instant, she thought on what Sebastian was really saying to her currently. Well, more like begging for...
Oh, yeah!
Mey-rin slowly mouthed over Sebastian’s long, thin angled jaw, teeth barely grazing.. before curling her tongue out to lick.
“What do you need, love? Go on, tell me... I will do everything in my power to give it to you...” She managed to purr out, trying for the suavest voice she could manage given the higher tone of her voice.
It seemed to actually work, too! Sebastian was now practically shuddering against her!
“Ta-take me, love.” He finally got out, voice so soft, so so SO shaken that it made the woman pinning him firmly into the little alcove corner wall start to lose her balance at just hearing it!
“Oh sh-shite, Seb..” Mey-rin squeaked, letting a bit of her more usual self shine through. She had to bow her head a bit as it bloomed even hotter red than his face was!
A... huff of a laugh reached her ears next and she had to look up, seeing the demon’s once flustered face looking much more amused.. Well, still a bit hot and bothered under the collar too, but..
“It- it’s alright, Mey, dear. If this is too far for you, I completely understand. We most certainly do not need to--!!!”
Mey-rin shut him up quick with another kiss, this time being sure to use a bit of her teeth to bite and nip at that pretty little mouth of his.
“I didn’t mean I wanna stop!” She hissed out, carefully removing his leg from around her, but not detaching herself entirely. Her hands went for that tie of his again, tugging it while she started to move out of their hiding spot. “I just know we gotta get movin’, yes we do! ‘Cause there’s no way I could do anythin’ like that here!”
And with the practiced ease only someone highly trained in stealth and a demon of hell who could be the shadows themselves, the two darted down to the servant quarters to escape into Mey-rin’s room.
Sebastian was once again of the mind to offer that they wait until a better time or some such thing, but that thought was quickly erased from existence entirely when the smaller woman pushed him into her bed and then promptly crawled on top of him.
She got to work immediately of relinquishing him of his butler attire, kissing and biting and licking at every revealed bit of flesh, smiling in pride when the being under her started to tremble again.
“Oh Sebastian, you’re so gorgeous..!” She started to gasp out, the words coming much more naturally now. It was almost as if it were the first time seeing him naked all over again!
Just in a bit of a new light!
“That’s... I-I get what you’re trying to a-accomplish, love. You don’t need to-”
“Shhhh,” Mey-rin hushed against his abdomen, lips mouthing and brushing over the soft flawless skin there. “Yes, yes I do, Sebastian. I want to.. I..” She looked up, up over the line of his body and into his shimmering red eyes. “I want you. I want to take you, Sebastian.. Make... M-Make love to you..” Making sure to emphasise that she was fully aware of what she was doing, what she was going to do.
“I... th-that’s...” Sebastian bit his lip hard with his sharpening fangs, not caring in the least when he accidentally bit through flesh and it bled, dribbling down his chin. Nothing could distract Sebastian in this moment from these turn of events! “Mey-rin..” He simply moaned out, and tried to reach out and curve a still gloved hand around her sweet, determined little face and into her soft fluffy red hair.
Smirking, the girl leaned into the hand, nuzzling and then moving to put her mouth around a digit, bite, and then finally pull.
The butler’s glove came off effortlessly and just that one moment had the man moaning again under her.
Yes, Mey-rin had certainly picked up on a few weaknesses of her demon in the past, even if it hadn’t been her above him or her in control of him. She was a fast learner when it came to her lovers, much more interested in retaining this kind of information than that of doing chores and housekeeping.
And the head butler didn’t seem to mind in the least as his now naked palm curled into her hair, petting and stroking and giving it a little.. pull as well as Mey-rin continued on her way.
Oh, and lets not forget what they had learned about her.
Gasping at the hair tugging, Mey-rin once again looked up into his glowing, slit-pupiled eyes.
“Is someone getting impatient?”
“.. Only a little.” Sebastian murmured, giving her a cute little pout. “You started out so aggressive, dear. What happened?”
Mey-rin merely snorted and turned her head to grab the fingers of his other hand with just her teeth themselves.
She pulled and gnawed and drooled over the cotton, mostly on purpose, before finally yanking that glove off too.
Spitting it out carelessly, she finally answered.
“I did say I want to make love to you, Sebastian.. Taking it slow is kind of the point, yeah? So why do you just lay back, sit pretty, and take it all in, hmm?”
That got a sputter out of the demon, looking away again and blushing.
Oh good lord, you really are a big idiot. Mey-rin thought, and sighed as she started to trail kisses from his middle, moving back up, and then finally back to those lips that were now messy with blood.
“Ah- wait- l-let me clean up--” Sebastian started to protest as the lady got to work kissing and licking all over his mouth, already taking in that demon blood that had spilled before he could do anything.
“Sebastian,” She grunted, “please shut up, love.”
Eyebrows skyrocketing, Sebastian stared on as his lover actually finally began the process of undoing his pants and also reaching under her skirt to reach her panties.
Well, he hoped she would at least allow him to express himself still with moans and groans, because he had a feeling that in mere minutes it would be impossible to stop.
Sure enough, long into the late afternoon and early evening, Mey-rin took the demon in her bed. 
Passionately, aggressively, and very much dominating him entirely. As if she had been the one capable of possession all along!
But finally it had to end, as there were multiple reasons that they could not continue. (Though a part of Sebastian REALLY did wish to simply stay there, under her, forever.)
One being Sebastian was still a butler that needed to return to his master for the end of the day. (Ciel had been thankfully busy all day with Funtom business reports.) Another, rather very important thing Sebastian still forgot on occasion, was that his human lover currently above him certainly deserved and required a rest after all this.
And one final reason being that Sebastian finally felt after this that they should.. talk. Maybe not about everything yet, but he did feel he certainly owed the poor thing a bit of some kind of explanation.
“Mey-rin..?” He called softly, as she was no longer panting hard and had simply laid down on top of him.
When he carefully lifted her head a little to make out her expression, Sebastian blinked and then... couldn’t help but full on smile.
She’d fallen asleep.
Sighing, the demon moved to sit up finally, carefully and ever so gently removing his lover from himself and then laying her down in her own bed, tucking her in with the most tenderness he’d ever used with a partner.
Mey-rin did not fully awaken, but she did stirr a little, squeezing the closest thing, her pillow, and mumbling out something that sounded an awful lot like, “.. love you..so much, sebasti.. an...”
And Sebastian found himself almost blushing again. He bit his lip a moment, before leaning down and tucking her messy hair away and kissing her cheek, and then her forehead for good measure.
“... And I you, Mey-rin.” He confessed in barely a whisper in her ear, before using his powers to vanish directly out of the room, and return to his butler duties at once.
However, much later, when Mey-rin finally woke up, the demon was in fact there, as if he’d never left. He had changed up his attire a little to seem more casual, no longer in a butler coat and vest and tie, and his shoes removed as well. 
He gestured toward a kart he’d brought in with him, a pitcher of water and a glass along side it. “I believe you might require some of this, dear.”
Mey-rin groaned and slowly sat up, feeling a lot sorer than she thought she would! It wasn’t her first time going through this, after all, but perhaps the positioning had made a difference?
Gratefully, she took the offered glass and drank the water straight down, again surprised at how parched she was.
“Would you like anything else, love?” He asked as he took the now empty glass back and set it down. “Perhaps a bath to deal with those likely sore muscles?” He smirked a little at that, looking smug as ever.
Mey-rin sighed and adjusted herself some more, “Well, perhaps maybe... but.. only if you’re in it with me, and I get to take care of YOU!”
Sebastian had gotten up, already heading for Mey-rin’s personal bathroom, only to nearly stumble forward at her response.
“Mey-rin, come on now!” He blurted out, looking almost insulted. “I have appreciated everything so far, but you do not need to pamper me like- like a-” He seemed to stammer and look away, and at first Mey-rin wasn’t sure if he just couldn’t come up with something or...
Mey-rin started to grin.
“Like a... lady?”
Sebastian was instantly turning away and not facing the woman any time soon. He crossed his arms tight, and refused to acknowledge the extreme heat building in his face once again.
“Like maybe you feel like a lady and want to be treated like one, even if you’re still stuck.. looking like a man?”
“M-Mey-rin, please.”
There was that soft, timid voice again. It still sounded scared! After everything they’d gone through, he was still denying it!
“Sebastian, come here.” She beckoned more softly.
Sebastian let out an airy, shaky sigh.
“E-Even if you know the truth now, there’s nothing that can be done, Mey.. A contract is binding in many ways. I have to remain as I am required to be here.”
He finally looked at her again, while his arms curled about his middle and his fingers dug into his white shirt.
“...No matter what I wish to personally be right now..”
Mey-rin smiled sadly and lifted a hand out, beckoning to him again to join her.
“Well, that doesn’t stop anyone else from treating you the way you should be treated, my love.. Because now that I know, I want to try my best to treat you properly, okay?”
Sebastian smiled finally, but still a little sadness showing even in that.
“If.. if you wish to, then so be it..”
He came back over and plopped down beside her, and Mey-rin instantly maneuvered to sit up even more, reaching up to grasp his head and bring it down upon her shoulder as she started petting his soft ebony hair.
After a second of that, Sebastian couldn’t help but start to purr, closing his eyes and wrapping his arms around the smaller girl.
Mey-rin couldn’t help the giggle that tumbled out. She’d never get used to that.
But after a bit of simply petting him like a large cat, Mey-rin remembered something!
“Oh, hold on! I wanna try something!”
“Hmmn?”
Without answering, Mey-rin was up and hurrying over to her little vanity. She grabbed her brush and then reached into the drawers and took out some familiar hair clips; the same pretty ones Grelle had brought up in her letter!
“... And what are you planning with those?” Sebastian asked, voice raising in mild concern.
“To help you!” Was all she said, coming back over and getting up in the bed, but on her knees so she could reach the top of her lover’s head. “Now just hold still, I’ve never tried this with anyone other than myself!”
Face remaining in a slightly confused and concerned fashion, Sebastian just obeyed, not completely sure even how this would help him...
But once again he found himself soothed a little by the motions of the brush going through his bangs and hair, eyes even closing again as well.
Even if Mey-rin did wish to see the demon in this happy little state forever, she was almost done after clipping and adjusting two pretty little hair clips into his brushed down bangs. It was the best she could do, really, when his hair was a bit too short for any more than that. But, pulling back, she found the results... rather adorably satisfying!
“Oh, Sebastian, look!” She gushed, grabbing up a hand mirror and turning it to face him.
Sebastian’s eyes fluttered open as the mirror was thrust into view, and stared on at the reflection before him..
Nothing much was different, except for the obvious new additions attached to his bangs on the left side.
A bright, blooming red rose hair clip was on top, almost looking like a real one if not for how extremely tiny it was, and right under it was a tiny, intricate purple butterfly hair clip, shimmering in the lights of Mey-rin’s room.
“This is..” Sebastian’s mouth twitched, and then a smile cracked through his surprise and awe. “They’re lovely, dear. Thank you.” His eyes shut again and his head bowed a little as face turned almost redder than the little rose.
“Oh no, you’re lovely, Sebastian!” Mey-rin immediately responded, really actually feeling it was true as she held the pretty demon in her bed.
Sebastian just chuckled and leaned into her, not sure what else to say.. until he looked into that mirror again.
“However, I do believe I’ve seen these hair clips before... Specifically when a certain reaper of ours gave them to you.” His honest smile starting to curl into a more mischievous smirk. “Why do I have the feeling those clips aren’t the only things you’ve received recently from her?”
It was Mey-rin’s turn to blush, a nervous giggle bubbling out as she pulled back to just fiddle with her hands in front of her.
“Well, you know, Grelle does have a woman’s intuition.. Even more so than me! So.. ”
Sebastian had put the mirror down finally, and reached out to draw the flustered little human girl back into his arms. He squeezed her tight and kissed her cheek tenderly, knowing for sure now that he wasn’t going to let her go for the rest of the night.
“So, we’ll both have to be sure to thank her properly when she returns to us, won’t we, my dear?”

mei x eva ;; continued from here.
mei notices the door opening and gasps out of surprise as she sees eva hold up a gun. “christ, what were you expecting.” she mutters as she reaches across to lower the girl’s hand. it was 2am, but it couldn’t wait - what she had to tell eva couldn’t wait until 9am, much less for another second. she really couldn’t live with it, couldn’t live with herself at this point either. watching eva’s every cautious move has her smile ever so lighty; the irony. she was scared of what could be out there when she had mei in her own home - how ironic. dark trenchcoat covering the vast majority of her, mei’s hands bury deeper inside its pockets seeking for some sort of comfort, only it never came. how could it. “yes. something did happen.” she replies; of course something did happen.
the peck on her lips is just about the tip of the iceberg. this shouldn’t have happened. she shouldn’t have allowed eva to come that close, hell it wasn’t just forbidden in general but by law. “stop...” her hand finally comes up to eva’s stomach pushing her back lightly, “i have something to tell you, and i recognise that you won’t take it lightly. know i won’t blame you for it.” the prosecutor explains before her tongue peeks out to slide between partially parted lips. “i made a big mistake.” and she recognised that, otherwise she wouldn’t have come knocking eva’s door at 2am with somewhat obvious but well controlled tears welling up in her eyes. “when all this started becoming serious, when we started becoming serious, i should’ve told you. i am not what nor who you think i am, eva.” and that was painful, because whoever eva thought she was, she seemingly liked her - it was just a pity that wasn’t the true picture.
“you’re hiding, protecting yourself  from the world out there but you’re bringing a murderer, an uncontrolled monster disguised as a prosecutor into your home...” and that was putting it simply. finally allowing a sob to break through, she continues sharing with eva her best kept secret, and only hoped to god the other didn’t pull the trigger on her at this point. “eva... you’re the sweetest, the smartest person i have met this far, and it hurts me to think that i may be losing my only shot at actually keeping whatever it is we have, but--- yunho is dead.” she finally announces, realising that there is no way to sugarcoat it, there is no way to put it simpler. “yunho is dead... because i-” giving herself a moment to calm herself down, mei glances down at her heels before mustering the necessary courage to look up at the girl before her, “because i killed him... i killed yunho.”
though she had what she would consider a valid reason for doing so, the method used for the matter was rather... inhumane. “just let me finish, please.” reaching over she almost grabbed on to eva’s arm only stopping herself just a second before the matter; she wasn’t worth it. eva shouldn’t keep her around, and hell mei knew she’d have to do her very best to keep eva out now. “we accidentally crossed paths a few hours ago, and things started getting heated and before i could get a grip of myself... i was on his neck.” literally speaking. “i never felt something like that before, but it built up as he spoke... i couldn’t stop it.” she sniffled, taking a moment to breathe and take a few steps back from the other, giving her time and space to put everything together. “i couldn’t stop... until his head was no longer... on his shoulders... i am so sorry...”

BnHA Chapter 200: Mushroom Mushroom
Previously on BnHA: We flashed back to Tokoyami’s workplace experience and later internship with Hawks. During the former, Hawks was pretty much one step ahead of his sidekicks and poor Toko the entire time, and they were reduced to running around after him as his cleanup crew. A frustrated Tokoyami asked why he’d drafted him and Hawks said it was mostly because he wanted to talk to one of the 1-A kids about the USJ attack. This frustrated Toko, but he still chose to go back to Hawks’s agency during his For Reals Internship, and this time he showed off some new skills he had learned and Hawks was actually impressed. He revealed to Tokoyami that the other reason he’d initially drafted him was because he thought Toko was wasting his potential: “if you’ve got wings, you should stretch them out and fly.” Back in the present, Tokoyami revealed his new Black Fallen Angel technique, in which Dark Shadow basically carries him around in his arms while they fly around. He busted this move out to rescue Aoyama from Kuroiro’s clutches, but before they could capture Kuro, Kendou’s team switched to their plan B, and Toadette suddenly made a mushroom sprout from the tip of Momo’s nose. Okay.
Today on BnHA: Toadette sprouts a bunch of mushrooms everywhere and it’s deeply and profoundly unsettling and no one likes it and what the fuck is wrong with Horikoshi honestly. Anyway, apparently Kendou planned it so that even if Team A was able to counter Kuroiro with a “light” technique, they’d still end up revealing their location, and on top of that they’d weaken Dark Shadow too. Momo tried to gather her team to regroup, but before they could, Team B’s Manga struck with his incredibly badass quirk which allows him to create physical onomatopoeia. Like, this dude creates a wall of giant letters by shouting something to the effect of “BAM KERSLAM” and it’s the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. Then he makes the air all humid by whispering the onomato for “muggy.” This causes Toadette’s mushrooms to grow even faster, which I hate so much. Anyway, so Momo is cut off from the rest of her team by the giant letters, and Kendou proceeds to attack, knowing she has the advantage in a physical one-on-one match. The rest of the chapter is just Shouto quietly hyping up Momo from the sidelines, which I think we can all appreciate. Go Momo.
(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my mostly-unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’m caught up with the manga now at chapter 223, so any ETAs will reflect that.)
LOOK AT THIS ADORABLE COVER CELEBRATING 200 CHAPTERS OF THIS RUCKUS
Tumblr media
though it’s interesting that they didn’t get a color page! but this seriously is adorable so it’s fine
(ETA: and they probably didn’t get a color page because this chapter is the shortest chapter in history lol. we’re lucky we got what we did.)
I’m trying to figure out if Katsuki is actually trying to smile but just doesn’t know how to do so on command. like, he’s baring his teeth, but it’s not quite as ferocious as usual, ya feel? I feel like he knows the mechanics of smiling on a theoretical level but has no idea which muscles to use, and so he just ended up like that and was all “fuck it that’s close enough.” if you really want him to smile you gotta earn it
meanwhile Shouto is just not making any kind of effort at all. I don’t think he was ready yet
and Iida is clearly the one taking the selfie so let’s take a moment and give him some props for getting as good of a shot as he did considering what he’s working with
this also feels like as good a place as any to stop for a sec and analyze the changes in Horikoshi’s art style over the past 200 chapters. overall it hasn’t changed all that much, but one thing I’ve noticed is that the characters’ faces used to be longer and more angular, particularly the chin area (especially the male characters), and nowadays they’re all a bit more rounded out. also their necks used to be longer. the overall effect is that they all look a bit younger and more adorable. characters like Ochako have barely changed at all, but the difference is much more apparent in characters like Todoroki and Shinsou and even Deku himself
anyways, just wanted to make a note of that, since it’s something that’s been in the back of my mind since Shinsou’s reappearance. now back to our regularly scheduled chapter!
so yeah, mushrooms
Tumblr media
something about this is so powerfully and viscerally unsettling. do I have mycophobia??
ffffffff oh my godddddd
Tumblr media
or maybe it’s just the ol’ trypophobia acting up. ffffff I feel nauseous in a way I haven’t since fucking Moonfish’s teeth attacks. please don’t tell me the whole chapter is going to be like this, because I’m not kidding when I say that my stomach is doing flips in the bad kind of way
(ETA: yeah it’s definitely mycophobia. fungus creeps me out. this chapter is a fucking nightmare for me honestly. the weird thing is mushrooms are actually delicious. I don’t mind eating them, I just don’t want to look at them or acknowledge them ever basically I guess. anyway. back to this ordeal.)
Tumblr media
this is a fucking nightmare quirk. this is up there with Centipeder. if I had this quirk I’d be knocking on AFO’s door all “take it, buddy. go ahead and sign me up for your evil army, whatever. just fucking take it dude”
also just a reminder that her name is actually Toadette. it just is
you know it’s bad when I agree with every word that Mineta is saying
Tumblr media
RIGHT?!
fucking Awase trying to play it off like it’s not so bad. even though she has a bad habit of “spamming” them “everywhere.” holy shit. at this rate I’m going to have to cancel the entire class B. you’re all fucking contaminated jesus christ
(ETA: and looking more closely at Awase’s face, you can tell that he’s secretly traumatized and has Seen Some Shit and he’s trying to play it cool here but buddy we know. it’s okay. you’re among friends here.)
so now Kuro is hiding inside one of the mushrooms
Tumblr media
didn’t you already try this plan. didn’t you literally just try this and it failed
also wouldn’t Dark Shadow notice that some guy was hiding inside of him? I feel like he’d notice that. no?
so apparently this was Kendou’s plan. she’s counting on A Team not realizing that B Team can take control of Dark Shadow
so they can do that then? then why didn’t they do that earlier when Kuro hitched a ride on Dark Shadow back to their group??
(ETA: lol exactly how long did it take me to realize this was a flashback)
ah, okay, so that was part of the plan. hold up, let me just shut up and read this whole thing before I cast any further judgement
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...well that tells me absolutely nothing. okay so they thought that would work, but just in case it didn’t, they had a plan B also which we’re about to see take effect now. okay then so let’s see it!
so meanwhile Momo is telling her team to stay calm and that they need to regroup
and now there’s a lot of noise coming from deeper within the training ground
Tumblr media
what the hell is happening here. this almost sounds like it’s purposely meant to be a distraction
now something is zooming down the corridor too fast to be seen
(ETA: lol those were the letters)
OH SHIT!!
Tumblr media
IS THIS MANGA’S POWER?? HOLY SHIT!?
and if it is, then why are they surprised? surely the first fucking thing they would have done upon seeing Manga would be to ask what the hell their quirk is. like, if I personally saw someone walking around with a speech bubble in place of a head, I wouldn’t be able to fucking sleep at night until I knew. it’s just one of those things. you gotta know
Tumblr media
we have a new Best Quirk ladies and gentlemen. sorry, whoever it was that had the previous best quirk. you had a good run
(ETA: so I just got done answering an ask about the class B quirks and I gotta say, Horikoshi really outdid himself with most of them, they’re amazing.)
can he only materialize katakana or can he do hiragana, kanji, roman alphabet, etc.? inquiring minds want to know
(ETA: I bet you he can do all of them. Manga ilu)
also class B has several people with no actual heads or faces and I’m very curious as to how they see, hear, etc. he doesn’t have eyes, people!!
but I still love him though
wow his letters are so sturdy that Aoyama’s laser can’t even scratch them. holy shit. you know two paragraphs ago when I was all “best quirk” but like jokingly? well now I’m thinking real seriously on it, let me tell you though
okay what
Tumblr media Tumblr media
okay now I’m pretty fucking sure this is in fact the strongest quirk of all time!?
lmao Satou is wondering the same thing as me about Manga’s powers. “how would those onomatopoeia work in foreign countries?”
(ETA: Viz’s translator Caleb Cook took this to be Horikoshi’s way of saying “lol sorry in advance for this bruh” which I find hilarious.)
and Sero’s all “I DUNNO JUST BE QUIET AND WATCH.” Sero I feel personally attacked
oh shit it looks like Manga’s wall cut Momo off from the rest of her squad
well you know what, if Horikoshi had to make them lose for plot reasons, then this is about as good of a job as he could have done. you know that if Momo had remained with the rest of her team they would have pulled out a victory. Kendou knew that cutting her off from the others was key
OHHHHHHHHH SNAP
Tumblr media Tumblr media
YESSSSSSS BRING ME MY BADASS LADY BATTLE
damn Kendou’s attack was so powerful that the impact still hit Momo even with the shield up
whoa, had we seriously not gotten one of these for Kendou before? even with everything she did during the Fanfic Lodge arc?
Tumblr media
I love that she was smart enough to know that she wasn’t smart enough to best Momo. like, that’s not a knock against her at all; according to the character book Momo has S-ranked intelligence, the highest you can get. she’s on a level matched only by the Rat Principal and fucking All for One (and All Might, but he’s S-ranked in everything and clearly that’s just because he’s All Might)
and for the record, Kendou herself has A-ranked intelligence, which is the same level as Mei and smarter even than Deku and his Big Hero Brain. so yeah -- she’s good
and I got a bit off track, but anyway I was just trying to say that I love that she knew she had to strategize so that she could battle on her own terms
she’s shouting that she won’t give Momo any time to think
and she’s diving in with some more attacks!
so now it’s Momo’s turn, though! this is how she lost to Tokoyami in the sports festival! he took advantage of the fact that she needed a moment for her quirk to activate, and also to think of a plan. this is a weakness Momo has to overcome if she’s going to keep moving forward
ooh, Todoroki is still quietly confident in her!
Tumblr media
so now Tetsu’s looking at him in surprise
Tumblr media
and now Momo’s thinking back to what Kendou said about Momo constantly outshining her
and she’s thinking that Kendou couldn’t be more wrong, that even now she’s still just a novice
Tumblr media
yes!! show her, Momo!
LOOK HOW SUPPORTIVE HER BOYFRIEND IS
Tumblr media
fuck me, I’m gonna have to figure out how to work Shouto into this polyamorous MomoJirouKami triangle thing. why does everyone in 1-A have so much respect and admiration for each other??
and especially for someone like Momo, who even now is still so hard on herself and lacks confidence, to have someone who has such absolute faith in her is so, so huge. and Shouto is just so fucking eager to tell the whole fucking world how much he believes in her and how she’s going to kick ass and just wait and see
YESSSSSSSSSSS
Tumblr media
oh my god. I’m so fucking conflicted!! I want Momo to kick ass so bad. but I don’t want 1-A to just sweep all five battles. and I also want Kacchan’s team to win because he needs a fucking win! but if anyone else from 1-A wins leading up to his group, then I feel like he can’t because that would mean 1-A wins the whole thing then and there, and Deku’s group becomes just a formality at that point
also holy shit you guys, this chapter was only 10 fucking pages. and one of those was a (black and white) cover page. this has got to be the least amount of fanfare I’ve ever seen for this kind of milestone, particularly for a series at this level of popularity. damn
but I’m guessing Horikoshi just needs a break, which is fine. probably it’s either shorter chapters, or One Piece-style frequent weekly breaks, or else unfinished chapters like we get every so often. I generally think it’s good for the writer of the series to get to sleep more than three hours a night, so sure, you know what, do as many 10-page chapters as you like. I’ll be grateful for whatever lol
(ETA: apparently Horikoshi mentioned in an author’s comment back in December that he was moving. so that may well be why the chapters got really short for a while. the last half dozen or so have been a consistent 15 pages each, so hopefully we’re past that now and I can get my solid weekly fix for the next couple weeks until we hit Golden Week and WSJ goes on break and I fall into withdrawals and have to compensate by seeing Avengers: Endgame seven times sob.)

Having sad girl hours — Lenny comforting midge over something?
Her shoulders shake as she clings to him, crying into his shirt silently, and Lenny holds her close, rubbing her back in slow circles.
Things had gone very wrong that night.
A gambling dispute in the basement of the Button Club had turned ugly and spilled upstairs into the club proper. Guns had been drawn and in an effort to shield Midge from one asshole's terrible aim, Lenny'd found himself the recipient of a bullet graze in the arm that had sliced through both jacket and shirt.
Stings like hell.
He'll get it looked at once Midge has calmed down.
One of the guys had been shot dead, though, and Lenny is angling them so Midge can't see the body on the floor. There's a short of list of things he feels like he needs to protect her from. That's on it.
"Are you okay?" Joel demands, rushing over. "Is she okay?"
"We're both fine," Lenny tells him. "You call the cops?"
"Yeah, they're on their way," Joel says, glancing back at the body. "Fuck. Jesus Christ."
"Yeah," Lenny agrees. "I'd say that's a fair assessment of the situation."
"Is Joel okay?" Midge sniffles out, her head still buried in against Lenny.
"You good?" Lenny asks the other man.
Joel nods. "Yeah. Midge? You wanna come up for air and talk to me?"
"He's good," Lenny tells her. He looks back to Joel. "How about she stays where she is so she doesn't have to glimpse what's on the floor."
Joel swallows and nods. "Yeah. That's- yeah."
"Where's Mei?" Lenny asks. "Was she here for this?"
"She's at home studying, she didn't come tonight," Joel says. "I called her already, she's on her way."
Lenny nods and strokes Midge's hair. "Okay."
"You better go head her off so she doesn't see what's on the floor either," Lenny warns him. "I know she's training to be a doctor, but I feel that this might be different."
Joel nods. "Yeah. Yeah."
As he stumbles off, Lenny sighs and holds Midge closer.

Is This a Dream?
Alright so I’ve thought about this for a loong time, and after talking to @prettyfunkyunorganized and reading her’s I decided to write mine. And omg it’s a lot longer than I thought it would be and I’ll be honest, it’s pure fucking Reaper x reader trash. I’m shameless and thirsty af, don’t judge me. But, I hope you all enjoy this.
Warnings: there’s smut at the end
You had, no idea how this happened. The last thing you remembered was playing a few rounds of Overwatch, getting play of the game with Reaper and then going to bed. You woke up in a room you didn’t recognize. At first you thought it was a dream, so you explored the bare room and then walked out.
���This is a really vivid dream?” you muttered to yourself. The walls of the hallway looked familiar, well at least the paint job did. The paint was old and chipped, the hall itself was cold and you wish you were wearing something warmer instead of you shorts and tank top.
When you heard footsteps and voices behind you, you turned and your mouth fell open. Two men were standing at the end of the hallway. You recognized them instantly. Jesse McCree and Soldier: 76. Both men froze at the sight of you. You and the two men stared at each other for what felt like an eternity.
“Fuck, I need to chill it with the Overwatch,” you muttered to yourself. Memories of you shutting down a McCree came back and you smirked to yourself.
“Who the hell are you?” yelled Soldier. His voice was as gruff as ever, you jumped and saw he was stalking up to you. You never realized how tall he really was. Or how broad shouldered he was. He towered over you and you felt so small, smaller than usual.
“Ok, this is a dream. Wake up dammit,” you said, closing your eyes. Usually your dreams about video game characters were… different. They were pleasant or sexual. Not like this. Soldier 76 never towered over you and yelled at you.
“Darlin, this isn’t a dream.” Came a voice beside you. You opened your eyes and found yourself looking up at McCree. He wasn’t as intimidating as Soldier, but his hand was on his gun and the look in his eyes was enough to tell you the truth.
“This cannot be real. None of you are real. What kind of joke is this?” you asked. You looked around frantically, panic rising in chest. This was a fantasy world, this cannot be real!
“It’s real kid. Now, who the hell are you and why are you here?” Soldier asked. He shifted so he wasn’t as intimidating, but you were shaking out of fear and the cold in the hall. You covered your chest and hunched your shoulders.
“You… you two better get me somewhere where we can sit down,” you said. Jesse and Soldier looked at each other, then back at you. They nodded their heads and you swallowed thickly.
A little while later, you were sitting at a table with Soldier and Jesse, both men were giving you an annoyed look. You told them the last thing you remembered was going to bed after playing a video game they were in. You explained they were a video game and they also had comics of them.
“Cut this shit kid, how did you get in this base?” Soldier growled.
“I’m telling the truth! Why would I lie?”
“Maybe because you’re a spy! Got to admit, using the whole a young girl and having her in pajamas is a good way to throw us off,” Soldier said. Jesse was behind him leaning against the wall.
“I’m not a damn spy! Does it look like I can do spy shit? I can’t even run a damn mile!” you snapped.
“That doesn’t mean anything. Now who sent you?!” Soldier yelled. You jumped at his voice and sunk lower into yourself, tears pricked your eyes. You never thought Soldier: 76 would be yelling at you with Jesse McCree behind him.
“I’m telling the truth!” you yelled back.
“Prove it then,” Jesse said.
“You’re Jesse McCree, you were in a gang called the Deadlock Rebels. Before you got that prosthetic arm, you had a gang tattoo on it. You were in Blackwatch with Gabriel Reyes and Genji Shimada, Gabriel Reyes gave you a second chance,” you said wiping your face. Jesse gave you a surprised look.
“Anyone could know that,” Soldier spat.
“Your real name is Jack Morrison. You were Strike-Commander of Overwatch but something happened and there was an explosion, I’m not sure what happened. But you were in Dorado, Mexico and you’ve been taking out a gang called Los Muertos. You saved a little girl from an explosion.”
“That true Jack?” Jesse asked.
“Yeah. How… how do you know that?” Soldier was looking at you, behind his visor his eyes were wide and his mouth was opened.
“Because I saw a short about it. I’m telling the truth, where I come from you all are fantasy. You’re not real,” you replied. You wiped your face again and held your arms, you were cold and scared and shivering.
“Jack, we should take her to Winston. Maybe he can make sense of this,” Jesse said.
“Yeah, let’s go,” Jack said. You stood up and followed both men out of the small room. Jack saw you were shivering and he placed his jacket on your shoulders. The thing was like a dress on your but it was warm and it smelled like him. You couldn’t help but think one of your friends would be so jealous right now.
When you met Winston, he took your fingerprints and asked Athena to check any records for you. She found nothing, which proved your story and made the three men worry. To further prove your story, you told Winston about his encounter with Reaper and how he sent out the recall.
“Shit, what do we do?” Jesse asked.
“We should call everyone together. I’m sure we can think of something,” Winston said. He patted your shoulder and gave you a friendly smile, you smiled back.
The three took you to a conference room where all the other character, or real people, eventually joined. Everyone showed up, minus the Talon agents. Your mind went to Reaper and you were relieved you showed up here and not at a Talon base. You might be dead… or being experimented on by Moira. That wasn’t a pleasant thought.
Everyone was looking at you and you were glad Solider let you wear his jacket. Winston explained the situation and you told them your story, most laughed or gave you an annoyed look. But when you began saying things about them, things that you shouldn’t know, they all shut up.
“Wait, we’re a video game?” Hana asked.
“Yes. I know, ironic huh?” you said. She snorted and nodded her head.
“But, we’re real people. How can we be a video game?” Angela said.
“I don’t know. I woke up here,” you said.
“Winston, maybe she bounced around like I did,” Lena said.
“I was thinking the same thing. I’m going to run some tests and see if maybe we can get her home. Mei, I would like your help,” Wisnton said.
“Of course, Winston,” Mei said. She gave you a sweet smile and you smiled back.
“Until then, what are we going to do with her? She knows too much about us, she could be a liability.” Hanzo exclaimed angrily. There were a few nods around the room and you got a bad feeling.
“Oh my god please don’t kill me. I don’t know that much, there wasn’t much lore available to us and most of the stuff I found have been fan theories or ships. Please don’t kill me,” you said. You looked up at Winston and Soldier who looked surprised with your thought.
“We’re not going to kill you,” Winston reassured you.
“Christ, what did you three tell her?” Angela exclaimed. She came up to you and pulled you into a hug. “If either of you brought out your guns when questioning her, I’m will smack you with my staff.”
“I might have done that,” Jesse said. Angela fixed him with an angry look and he gave you an apologetic look.
“Sorry darlin, you just scared me is all,” Jesse said.
“It’s ok,” you replied. You couldn’t blame him.
“Wait, wait, wait. Everyone just stop,” Hana said. Everyone, including you, turned to the young woman, “Did you say there were ships of us?”
“Yes,” you said with a smile. Her eyes went wide, Lucio smirked and you saw Genji shake his head. The others looked a bit confused.
“Tell me them all!”
An hour later, and with many laughs and blushing faces, Hanzo bolted out of the room with Genji on the floor dying. Jesse was yelling, or singing, after Hanzo. Jesse thought singing a horrible version of Josh Turner’s “Your Man” to Hanzo was an amusing thing to do, an arrow that whizzed past the cowboy’s head told him otherwise. You were sure Hanzo would never speak to you again.
After that, you were given a room and handed Soldier his jacket back. Angela and Fareeha gave you some of their clothes, since you were still in shorts and a tank top. Winston gave you a communicator and Dva and Lucio showed you how it worked. Ana and the other supports offered you a place to talk, especially when you were feeling home sick and overwhelmed. You knew deep down you were stuck here. No matter what Winston did, this was your new home.
There was one day you got lost on base and after almost having a panic attacke, Hanzo appeared and calmed you down. He was surprisingly kind to you, even after the whole McHanzo explanation. Once he calmed you down and helped you get your breathing under control, he helped you get to Angela’s office. You made sure to compliment his piercings and his haircut, he only gave you a small smile.
“I always wanted a septum piercing, but I was always scared to get it,” you shrugged.
“Well, if you ever wish to get it done, I can take you,” Hanzo said.
“You would?”
“Yes.” Hanzo smiled at you and you couldn’t help but smile back at the man.
Another time, after being with them for a month, you asked Jesse to take you out to a bar. Being thrown into a fantasy world was exhausting and had you craving a drink. The man almost threw you over his shoulder in excitement. That was the first night you got officially drunk, Jesse and you stumbled back onto the base at three in the morning with tacos in hand.
Soldier was there waiting for you and began scolding you both, you mentioned how he had a great ass and Jesse snorted loudly. Jesse and you stumbled away, but Jack had to guide you back to your room. The next morning Soldier made sure to be extra loud around you both, Genji took pity on you and took you to Zenyatta’s room. The omnic let you rest in his room.
Despite you being there and your world ending, their world kept going. They would go on missions and come back bruised and battered. You often worried about them and always showed up to visit them if they were in the med bay. They had secret meetings and debriefings about missions and you were usually stuck wandering the base alone at that time. You grew bored and found yourself going through old files they had and reading anything you could find. Ana offered to train you and you told her maybe once you get used to this world, who would pass up an opportunity to be trained by Ana Amari?
Even though you were around all these heroes, there was only hero- or villain- you were constantly wondering about. Reaper. You didn’t tell the other’s you always played Reaper and how much you had a crush on him. You wondered what he was doing. If you met him would he kill you? Yeah, he probably would, you thought glumly.
Every night in your room, you would look up anything you could find about Gabriel Reyes and reports of Reaper. Athena gave you access to old training videos of the ex-Blackwatch Commander. You marveled at the pictures of him in his uniform and at the way he fought and how stunning he was. The videos of Reaper were terrifying. He moved so quickly and took out anyone he saw as a threat. The smoke that billowed around him was beautiful and horrifying. You were tempted to ask Jesse and Genji about him, but you thought better of it. You were content with the material you had.
The day finally came when Hana asked who your main was. You couldn’t admit it was Reaper, they might think bad of you or think you’re a spy, again. You told her and the other’s around the table two other mains, Pharah and Symmetra.
“Not me?” Hana asked. She looked offended but there was a twinkle in her eye.
“I was never good at playing you. Usually I play Orisa as a tank.”
“What about me sugar?” Jesse asked with a wink.
“I sucked at you. But if I played as Mercy, I would follow you around and increase your damage just to hear you say, ‘that’ll do fine’,” you admitted. You knew it was a mistake when Jesse gave you a grin.
“Really? Well darling, that’ll do just fiine,” Jesse purred in your ear.
You squeaked and went beet red. Everyone laughed and you had to hide your face, Jesse patted your back and you gave the man an angry look. He only seemed more amused by the angry look.
“I always blush at that line,” you muttered.
“Who else do you find attractive?” Lena asked.
“What, you gonna play matchmaker?” you snorted.
“Maybe,” she winked.
“Please don’t. But if you must know, Genji and Hanzo are fine as wine. Jesse is, well you saw what just happened. Soldier’s hot, he’s got the body and a sexy voice. And…” you wanted to say Reaper. His Blackwatch skin is your favorite. “Satya’s pretty, and Fareeha is fine. I would let them both punch me.”
Lena snorted at your last comment and Hana gave Lucio a look. Jesse ruffled your hair and you hid your face in embarrassment.
“Oh darling, you’re surrounded by a bunch of hotties, will you ever stop blushing?” Jesse asked.
“No. I will die of embarrassment,” you muttered.
Several hours later and you were sitting alone on the roof near the Gibraltar tower. Once you got the layout of the base down, you began to spend time alone. The other’s new you wanted and needed time alone, so they let you be. You found the roof of a small building to be quiet and you had a great view of the ocean and the setting sun. You took a deep breath and smiled at the smell of the salt water. You were so focused on the water you didn’t notice someone else was up there with you.
“So, you’re the newest addition to this little group?” asked a deep voice that you knew instantly. You turned around and saw Reaper standing behind you. He was in the shadows, smoke billowing off him, and his white mask as intimidating as ever.
“Oh my god, you’re… You’re Reaper,” you said standing up. Your heart was pounding and you were on the verge of a freak out, whether it was a fangirl freak out or freaking out because he could kill you, you weren’t sure. This was the character you loved the most, he was your crush and… oh my god he might just kill you.
“I am. And who are you? You seem to have everyone’s attention around here, and I was wondering how?” he stepped towards you. His footsteps were heavy, smoke billowed out from beneath his feet. He was just as intimidating as you imagined. “You never train and you don’t have the body of a soldier. In fact, you look quite soft.” His clawed gloved reached out and poked your stomach.
“Hey, I know I have a soft tummy. Leave it alone,” you said. You covered your stomach with your arm and stared back at the masked man.
“Feisty, interesting. So, who are you and why are you here?” he growled. He stepped towards you again and you found yourself being backed up against a wall.
“I- I’m no one,” you said. He was so much bigger than you thought. Tall with broad shoulders, shotgun shells strapped to his body. He put a clawed hand against the wall beside your head, you looked at the claws and swallowed. Fuck they looked sharp.
“You must be someone,” he growled.
“Are you going to kill me?” you asked.
“I don’t know,” he said. He grabbed a strand of your hair and held it between his claws.
“Of course. Great, my main kills me. Course that would happen to me.” you said bitterly.
“So, you’re telling the truth about you not being from this world and us being a video game?” Reaper asked.
“Ho- How do you know? Have you been watching us? Oh my god is your team here? Please don’t torture me and don’t kill the others, please,” you said.
“I’m here alone. And yes, I’ve been watching you. I just slip through the vents and listen, you talk a lot to Genji and Jesse about the game. And you look up a lot of information about Gabriel Reyes, and you watch every video you can find of me. Why?”
“Why do you care?” you asked. You were gazing up at that mask, his body was so close to yours. Why was he so close?
“I’ve heard you in your room, wondering out loud about me. Looking at videos of who I was. Why are you so curious?” he growled. He somehow got closer to you.
“You’re my main, and I was hoping you were alright.”
“Really? Why? Does it have something to do with my, as you said, ‘Amazing legs and ass’?” he asked, he was smiling behind his mask. Your face went red and he chuckled.
“Why are you here?”
“I was gathering intel originally, but upon hearing you talk and finding out none of this is real, what’s the point? I figured I would talk to you, find out more about you. You seemed to enjoy looking up information about who I was. So, tell me, what do you know about me?”
“You’re Gabriel Reyes, ex- Commander of Blackwatch. Moira experimented on you and your turned into this. You blame Soldier for something and you seem hell bent on taking out Overwatch,” you whispered.
“Interesting. In this game of yours, you play me?”
“All the time.”
“Really? You know a good amount about me, yet I know nothing about you. You’re not in any system, you’re not registered in anything. Hell, there isn’t even a missing person’s report for you from your time,” Reaper said. He brought his clawed hand up to your face and trailed a clawed finger over your cheek. His clawed thumb trailed over your lips and down your chin, the tip of his claw pulled your bottom lip down gently. You let out a noise as he touched your face. You had wanted this, it was a fantasy back in your world, and now that it was happening… oh god your knees felt weak.
“You’re not going to kill me?”
“No, I like you.”
“What?” you choked out.
“Yeah, I like you,” he said. He stepped closer to you and leaned down a bit, you were so close to his mask you could lean up and kiss it. You wanted to. You began to move your face up but froze when you heard someone calling your name.
“It’s Hana,” you said.
“I’ll meet you in your room tonight. Keep me a secret for a little longer hermosa,” he said. His voice was so raspy it made you dizzy. You barely nodded before he was smoke and he was gone. When Hana got up to the roof, you were sitting in your spot like nothing happened.
 Later that night you were finally in your own room. It was hard not to think of Reaper, his voice and the way he touched you. There were several times someone had to repeat a question until finally you couldn’t take it anymore. You excused yourself and went to your room. Hana and Lucio followed, worried you were getting overwhelmed. You just said you needed some time alone and thankfully they left you alone.
In your room, you sighed and sat on your bed. Almost immediately you were surrounded by smoke and Reaper appeared. You gazed up at him. He pulled off his coat and his clawed gloves.
“You seem distracted,” he said.
“You distracted me.”
“Me? How did I?” he chuckled. He sat beside you.
“With the way, you touched me and you being so close to me.”
“Close? You mean like this?” he growled. He pushed you down on the bed and was above you. One of his hands was beside your head while the other was touching your face, his hands were cold and rough. They still felt nice on your face.
“You were closer to me earlier.”
“Like this?” he growled. He situated himself between your legs, making sure they were wrapped around his waist. He began to slowly trail his thumb over your lips. You whimpered at his touch. “Should I stop?”
“N- No. That was a good whimper.”
“I see. I want to hear you do it again,” he growled. Reaper moved his mask partly and kissed your lips, you kissed him back, his facial hair felt like everything you imagined it would. Soon you were lost to his touches. The feel of his rough hands on your skin, the way his cool smoke felt against your body and the way it felt when he bites you sent a chill through you.
“Oh Reaper,” you moaned.
“Ah, you know my real name. Use it.”
“Gabriel,” you whispered.
“Yeah, there we go,” he moaned into your neck.
You were soon naked and trembling beneath the man above you. The way he touched you, the way it felt when he kissed you, the things he did to your body that no one else has ever done drove you insane. You were moaning into your pillow or his neck or his mouth most of the night. He took you like he was a dying man and you were his salvation. He moaned your name and whispered things in your ear that had you blushing and trembling. He groaned when you came on his cock, it’s been so long since he’s been with a woman.
When you were both spent, you were laying on his chest, his hands were trailing across your body and down your back. You looked up into his face, scars covered his face and his red eyes were bright in the dim light of your room. He had torn off his mask in the middle of the fucking, once the mask was off he had you face down into the pillow and only the pillow could hear your moans and grunts.
“That was amazing,” you said. You just fucked Reaper, you felt Gabriel freaking Reyes inside of you. You knew several girls back home who would be so jealous, you wished you could tell them about this.
“I know. I felt when you came,” Gabe chuckled.
“What happens now?” you asked.
“I don’t know. But I was thinking of staying around here with you. You said this world is a video game, so everything we’ve done is pointless. I’m tired of being with Talon. I can only stand so much of them, and I’ve reach my limit. Also, I find you interesting.”
“You’re not going to kill me, right?” you asked.
“If I was going to kill you, you would already be dead.”
“That’s… comforting,” you muttered.
“It is,” Gabe said. He rolled you off his chest and onto your side. He adjusted himself and was now facing you. “Go to sleep. I’ll be here in the morning.”
“What about Soldier and Jesse? You want to kill Jack. Are you going to kill him?”
“No. I’m… tired of all this. I’m tired of it all,” he sighed. For a moment, he looked so much older than before. You scooted closer to him and he pulled you into his arms. You fell asleep in his arms, he watched you sleep until he too drifted off.

Naruto Shippuden E197-201 Notes
So apparently, Danzo did something over the filler arc to become Hokage? Can someone explain what happened to me? I'm a little confused. I'm skipping filler so I went straight from Nagato resurrecting the villagers to this episode.
Karui's voice is really nice.
Holy fuck, Omoi is annoying. I really don't like him.
Wait, when the hell did Tsunade fall into a coma?
How the fuck has Sasuke not been declared a rogue ninja yet?
Seriously, what the fuck? How was he not declared a rogue ninja immediately as he attacked leaf ninja and deserted the villaged to join fucking Orochimaru?
As much as I like Sasuke, this story is way too fucking favorable towards him. It's goddamn bullshit.
Why the fuck would Tsunade even pull those strings with Sasuke? You'd think her experiences with Orochimaru and as a Senju would make her declare him a rogue immediately.
Ugh, I have a feeling I'm gonna hate this arc.
God, I fucking hate you Naruto.
Holy fuck, is Sai finally gonna be relevant again!? Yes, my boy is back!
So Sai's got the caged bird seal too?
Jesus Christ, the Leaf Village is fucking disgusting. I wish this village had been destroyed generations ago.
How the fuck did that escalate so quickly? That was literally the most stupid, irrational thing I've ever seen. Who the hell gets in pointless fights that easily? That went from 0 to 100 in a millisecond.
And what the fuck, Naruto? You could have taken off Sakura's head!
Naruto! You can't just grab a fucking sword! It would still cut right through you! That's the whole point of a fucking sword!
"Why would Sasuke do something like that?" You guys are so fucking stupid. Ya'll act like you even know him. I swear, everytime Sasuke comes up, Sakura's character goes down the gutter. And Naruto's character goes slightly farther down the gutter.
God, Madara has such a sexy voice.
Though I'm pretty sure that's Obito since he's got Kamui.
I still hate that Sasuke thinks of Itachi as a hero now. If anything, after the revelation, Itachi seemed like an even worse person.
I also hate Sasuke's goal of destroying the village. It makes no sense and it's out of character. Sasuke never wanted to destroy the Akatsuki, he just wanted to kill Itachi. Why the fuck would he want to destroy the village now when he knows the only ones responsible who are still alive are Danzo, Homura, and Koharu.
Sakura, please stop being an idiot.
I actually really like Karui. At least when Omoi's not ruining any scene she's in.
Tbh, Omoi is actually tolerable when he's being serious.
Man, Tobi's hair is fucking ridiculous.
Naruto! Sasuke is not your comrade anymore, you fucking moron! He is a traitor!
They're not trying to get vengeance, you moron! They're trying to get justice! They're trying to capture a fucking criminal, you complete and utter moron!
Do trials just not exist in this world?
I get that Kishi's trying to get his themes about hatred and revenge across but it's fucking stupid in every possible way.
Omoi, I fucking hate you.
Sai is the only one with any sense here.
Yeah, and by not betraying Sasuke, he's betraying the village. Betraying pretty much all the villages.
The Reaper Death Seal makes no goddamn sense.
I fucking hate how Naruto always gets his way. It's just fucking given to him too. For once, can Naruto put anything before himself?
Ayyy, back to the Sand Village.
I've said this before but seriously Gaara being Kazekage is so fucking stupid.
Kurotsuchi's only said one line and I think I already like her.
You'd think the Kages would arrive with their own armies as a show of strength rather than just two fucking people. Like seriously, why would just three people go for each nation. It's goddamn stupid, like why not just send diplomats?
Mei's got one hell of a voice actress. Chojuro on the other hand...
Ugh, I can already tell what kind of character Mei is gonna be.
Is this dude's earrings just straight up pieces of paper? Damn this dude must be broke.
I like this Darui guy.
Oh yay, more Sharingan bullshit.
Fuck you, Chojuro. And that other dude is such a fucking gimmick.
Man, Mei could have been a pretty cool character if it weren't for Kishi's usual bullshit.
How is the Raikage walking around in the snow without a fucking shirt on?
WHAT FUCKING VENGEANCE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, NARUTO!? THE ONLY ONES WHO WOULD FIGHT TO AVENGE SASUKE IS YOU, TAKA, AND MAYBE SAKURA! GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS!
Jesus fucking Christ, didn't Naruto get over Sakura like 3 years ago?
Did Yamato just imply that the Leaf could have destroyed the Cloud and that they could have committed yet another genocide and that apparently the Cloud should be thankful that they didn't? What the fuck?
The Raikage's face looks really weird sometimes.
Did Raikage just say concessions are forbidden? What?
Is every goddamn character in this series a moron?
I fucking hate the Raikage.
How are all five villages equally stable if the entire leaf village has been demolished?
Wtf? Orochimaru used the Sand! Not the other way around! And Orochimaru and the Akatsuki were on horrible terms by that point!
I am enjoying this political debate though.
So wait, has the village only existed for like a century at the most?
How the fuck do you think choosing the Hokage to lead the alliance is a good idea when they don't even have a village anymore?
Sakura, will you ever fucking learn?
Sai, fuck off. It's not Sakura's job to coddle Naruto or make sure he's not a fucking idiot. And it's not her damn fault that Naruto won't let go of his damn childhood crush (though sakura is guilty of that too).
Sai, seriously fuck off. Naruto chooses to uphold that fucking promise because he's an idiot. No one is making Naruto do anything, he's doing it to himself. Sakura literally hasn't asked him to do anything since they were twelve.
I can't believe Ino still has this fucking crush.
I swear I hate every single one of these goddamn dumbass characters.
Kiba's the only one here with any damn sense.
That mission would have been a success if Shino was there, just saying.
YOU CAN'T RESCUE SASUKE IF THERE'S NOTHING TO RESCUE HIM FROM!
Holy fucking fuck, is the plot ever going to revolve around anything other than Naruto and Sasuke's dicks.
Did Shikamaru's bitch ass just tell people not to lash out recklessly?
This revenge bullshit is complete garbage. Political situations, authority, and laws would prevent this so-called cycle of hatred. People can't just go around getting revenge every two minutes. At least that's how it would be if the writer had even a fraction of a brain.
I really don't think Kishi understands the difference between vengeance and justice.
Sakura, bitch. You don't cause Naruto pain, he causes himself pain.
Remember that prophecy Aunt Wu gave Sokka? That pretty much describes Naruto.
I mean, Raikage makes a good point for him leading the alliance but he acts like a violent and temperamental fool with no understanding of how to build peace so no to that.
This is goddamn bullshit. Mei is obviously the best choice to lead the alliance.
Wait, what the fuck? That guy has a Byakugan?
How is this guy calling out Danzo for taking Shisui's eye when he obviously took a Hyuga's eye?
Ao really didn't think this through. Can't Danzo just deactivate his Sharingan?
At least Ao sees his own faults.
Goddamn Raikage calm down.
Zetsu made one hell of an entrance.
Damn Zetsu is excited.
Raikage's about to show Zetsu what's up.
Jesus Christ, Naruto you act like an ex who hasn't gotten over it yet.
I hope Madara kills Naruto.

THE ENCHANTMENT OF THE HECHIOCERA: Episode 8.
ORIGINAL OF: Adriana Salomón.
Roma, I hope her sister and her cousin will leave, Augusta will bring her a beige liquid, sip it and fall into a deep "dream" ...
I was in a boat and it was very cold, I looked at the sides because the place looked very peaceful, I was in total silence only heard that the small boat broke the water to cross it, a harmonic noise, she knew where she was going and started to recite Psalm 91 in Latin:
- "Morando sub umbraculo Domini commorabitur
XCI Qui habitat in adiutorio Altissimi,
    Et sedebit sub umbraculo Domini commorabitur.
II Ego dicam Domino: Susceptor meus is your et refugium;
Deus meus, sperabo in eum.
III frees me from lacquer venantium,
A verb rough.
IV Scapulis suis et erit extensio,
Et sub alis eius invenies confugerunt;
Scuto veritatis est ... "- Reciting this, a shining light appeared before her that blinded her for a moment, Rome covers her eyes and tries to look under her forearm that protected her eyes, in that boat was a beautiful sunset, when the light under the intensity Rome saw some feet and a beautiful angel, who was his guardian angel; he smiles at him:
- Versaliis esset Romam! - They smile and speak to him in their native language.
He sat down next to her and she says:
- You're always by my side! But I guess it is not very common to see me here- The guardian angel was tall, very good build, very thin and blond hair medium, clear look, but not clear eyes.
- To these places you have to go very cautiously, remember that we do not have much time- She agrees and both kept silent the boat began to move faster and Rome knew that something was coming, his human nature warned him of a danger, something unknown, I take the hand of his angel and looked towards the horizon a black cloud was visualized the beautiful and peaceful sunset began to turn somber and the calm waters were becoming more turbulent, it was not the first time Rome was there, but I could not avoid that nervous feeling.
     She does not know what time she was there, but when they went deeper into the turbulence, Rome felt very cold and her angel shivered, she ran her hand all over her body and she covered herself with a special cloak, they were very close to that turbulence, the waters had been transformed into a strong wave, and threatened to tuck and drown, Rome and his angel began to recite Psalm 91 in Latin:
- "Non timebis a timore noche
- Et sagitta rulante per diem
-
- VI, nec in negotio perambulante in tenebris;
- Nec plagae exitio meridiano.
-
- VII milia parte tua ruina,
- Decem millia a dextris tuis;
- Sed quia non venerunt.
-
- VIII Only tuum et vide oculis meis
- Et retributionem peccatorum videbis ...
       When they reached the center of the turbulence, both covered themselves and held for a long time like this ...
Sepia and Beaumont arrived at the place where they indicated Rome, touched an old door, it was actually an old building but the man was the best valuer of relics in that city, Sepia felt that something looked at them, Beaumont was very quiet, did not suspect anything , the man when listening to the door opens them, recognized Sepia:
Hello my darling! - And he embraced her with a lot of familiarity, introduced him to Beaumont and they both passed, the person or that something Sepia felt watching them was Calanit dressed in fine clothes and went to knock on the door, but a voice whispered:
- Come back! - It was a dark voice ... From the grave, he snapped his fingers and dissolved out of nowhere ...
      Armand was called the appraiser, he had a small exhibition of strange objects and Beaumont looked at them with interest, they both talked animatedly and Sepia took off the crucifix of the paper and spread it out.
       When I hold it in my hands, I breathe deeply:
- Maybe he has no material value! ... - He returned to suck and close his eyes - But it is very "dense" - Sepia looked at him with bright eyes:
- Do you think you can determine where it comes from? - Armand looked at him with interest and took out a magnifying lens.
- Shines a lot to be silver! ... Although it does not seem ... Beaumont looked at a very beautiful bronze cameo and asked Armand:
- That cameo to whom it belonged?
Sepia opened his eyes and Beaumont under his face. Armand smiles broadly:
- It's a cameo! ... I do not know who belonged to it but it was sold to me by a young woman in a hurry but it's not bronze, it's gold and very old ... It cost me a fortune! But few know it, I prefer that they believe it is bronze - The three smiled and looking at the Sepia he said:
- - Whatever it is is a jewel in terms of polishing and craftsmanship ... Do you think that dating dates? - Sepia looked at Beaumont and said:
- One or two years after Christ . Armand raised his eyebrow, his white and mature face looked at her for a long time: - Did Rome get it in his excavations? - Beaumont replied: - No ... actually Rome has not gone digging- Sepia closed his eyes and swallowed thickly. Armand looked at her questioningly and Sepia said: - No! I take it to a client I leave it in this wrapper ... You know how they are! -It was not that Armand did not know but it was very complicated to explain where it came from, Armad continued to detail it and both were silent ... Calanit came to a place, looked like a rock, stared at her, reciting some words, it opened a portal and she went inside. he, with his eyes closed, began to walk, he saw hands with deformed nails that wanted to tear his clothes and they waved their hands away, there were unintelligible shouts, you could see all kinds of deformed beings and others without a defined corporeal identity When I got to where I had to go, a very old wrought iron door opened, she entered and there was a figure, rather appreciating a bundle, Calanit bowed and the voice spoke slowly, but with a plaintive tone and afterlife : - You sent me to call ... - The bulge was of a lead color and inside it it moved incessantly.- There is a woman who is looking for questioning me ... - Calanit nodded: - But she did not know e- The voice shouts: - Of course he knows that I am immortal! - Calanit under the face - She wants to know about that crucifix and I just want it back ... Tells a story that should not be known ... - But humanity wants to know more every day, there are many who investigate ... But they have not come to you- I keep silence. - For the moment I will not show myself, but I think it's time we changed the course of this story - Calanit looks at him curiously: - What will you do? - The bundle laughs in a creepy way: - Ah! Humanity is so basic! That I will use a feeling that can hardly be overcome ... Rome raises her face and the angel too, a skeletal figure but it was not a skeleton waiting for them with a beacon in his hand, the boat was docked on a bridge and both went down, the skeleton when seeing the angel, sketches a half smile and turns around Rome and his angel follow him, they suddenly entered a black hole and what they saw was a whirlpool that was spinning and turning, Rome felt tired, and recited Psalm 91 silently takes the arm of his angel and feels that the pressure drops a little, the skeleton looked at them sideways without erasing his ironic laugh, Rome felt a headache and kept praying the same, he heard a voice saying: - Why do you pray? No one can save you here! - She unfolds and walks after her and her angel: - You have no power over me! - Other voices whispered things and even approached in a thousand ways, played with each other, Rome felt that his breathing was heavier and his heart began to beat wildly, the skeleton puts his hand on a wall and Rome feels like vomiting, but is contained, her angel covers her again with light and she sees when all those voices and spirits are removed, the skeleton opens a path and the angel takes his hands to Rome: - You must go, I wait for you here - She embraces him and whispers to him. The angel passes through her halo of light a little bag and she keeps it. - Do not abandon me! - He smiles a smile and she walks, when she goes further down the road she sees that she is alone and mentally says: - - No there is evidence that GOD submits to you that you can not bear - She listens to chains and laments, could not help feeling chills, that presence was very dense, Calanit hid and Rome arrived, every time he approached he felt a terrible alarm beat in his brain and his heart. That misty report watched her and she looks at him defiantly: - Rome Versailles ... Are you looking for me? - Towards an effort to stay erect and that mass knew it, it was not other than a creeping spirit of very low spiritual rat.- I know very well what I do here and you too ... - Rome spoke with some difficulty and whispered extracts of the psalm 91. The crowd with a very distorted voice laughed and said: - Of course I know! ... But did not your GOD tell you that I am immortal? - Rome does not respond, I felt stitches in her stomach.- For I am here ... I am sure that you will not be able to defeat us.The mass took the form of a man very similar to Herod but not He was the one, I just let him see his face that came to Rome staring at her, Rome avoided his eyes because his eyes were incandescent, while looking for the bag that the guardian angel gave him: - You know what I'm coming from and remember you OUR LORD fulfilled his covenant and you must let go of the condemned souls that you have with you. Without stopping looking and looking for his eyes he said: - And why should I do it? - Rome takes a breath of air and then throws a white powder and yells at him: - Why did your time come out and face your power! - Rome feels faint and the demon was sucked by a hole that opened, the angel ranto help Rome who was fainted, Calanit, scared out after the smoke of his master without the angel and Rome realized or if they did it was necessary to get Rome out of there, the place where the mass was informing was about to collapse and the angel covered it with a light and quickly took it out of there ... Beaumont and Sepia left there, Beaumont was distracted and did not realize that a beautiful woman had tripped him, he was carrying some bags and they fell to the ground, he was wearing a impeccable suit of soft yellow color, Beaumont could not help but look at her more than once, she blushed, tried to pick things up and Beaumont gallantly picked up the things immediately, undoing herself in apologies. Strange Sepia approached: - What's wrong? - The lady with brown hair and penetrating look apologized with Sepia: - Ah sorry lady I tripped up with her husband! - Beaumont said quickly: - No ... It's my cousin! - Sepia I raise an eyebrow and look questioning at the stranger who was all embarrassed: - My name is Dilcia ... I am the assistant of Armand! - Sepia and Beaumont looked at each other surprised. - I did not hear that Armand had an assistant - Dilcia blushes and said : - I started yesterday! - Beaumont and Sepia exchanged glances again and then left, Beaumont could not help but turn to see her go, but she had not left, she was standing there with a strange smile and she raised her hand and folded her fingers in farewell signal leaving Beaumont impregnated with a feeling that had lived before, smiled gently shaking his head in a negative way and left ... Dilcia enters the business of Armand and he sees her is surprised she waves her hand and the change to the attitude: - I'm at your orders ... What do I do? - Waving her beautiful hair says: - For now nothing, although you have released Rome Versailles, we will always antagonize and you ... Follow the plan -That this is put into a room and Armand lowers his head without losing sight of the crucifix ... Registered history.

Midge with Mei when her water breaks
"Oh, god."
Midge stares at her with wide eyes as the other woman stands there in the foyer, dripping onto the hardwood floors.
"Okay," Midge says gently. "So. Congratulations, you're going into labor."
"Fuck," Mei snarls. "Why did it have to be here? And now?!"
"Did you feel any contractions earlier?" Midge asks.
"I thought it was gas!"
"You're two days from your due date," Midge points out. "And you thought it was gas."
"Don't you judge me! I came here to confront you about Joel!"
"Well, now you're having a baby," Midge tells her. "And there's nothing to confront, Joel and I are over."
"Then why is he freaking out about your new boyfriend?!" Mei demands as Midge grabs her coat and purse and turns Mei around, back towards the elevator.
"Because he freaks out about everything, he's Joel," Midge explains, as they get in. "Lobby please. And because I slept with Lenny Bruce, who happens to be Joel's comedy idol. But probably not anymore."
"Oh. Still! You're allowed to see other people! We're having a baby for christ's sake! The last thing on his mind should be who you wind up in bed with!"
"Try telling that to Joel," Midge responds as she guides her out of the elevator and out the door to hail a cab. "This way. Deep breaths. Where is Joel?"
"Home, with the kids," Mei responds.
"Then I will call him, and everyone else from the hospital."
"I'm having a baby. A baby is going to come out of me soon," Mei babbles as she lets Midge help her into the cab. "How are you being so calm?!"
"I've done this twice before," Midge reminds her. "And I took Imogene to the hospital for two of hers."
"Imogene hates me," Mei tells her.
"Cedar Sinai, please?" she asks the cab driver. "Imogene doesn't hate you."
"She hates me completely," Mei snaps. "Because I'm not you."
"No, she hates you because you're with Joel, who used to be my husband, and she feels bad for me because I don't have one of those anymore," Midge explains. "She'll calm down eventually."
"What if she hates me forever?" Mei asks.
"You cannot be that pressed about a little white woman hating you forever," Midge snorts.
"She's married to Joel's best friend," Mei points out. "Joel and I are married now, we're supposed to have couples nights with people like Archie and Imogene."
"Believe me, couples nights are not all that fun," Midge assures her. "Mei. Joel loves you. He really loves you. We're going to get you to the hospital, I'm going to call Joel, and your parents, and his parents, and I'm going to ask Imogene to calm down, and you're going to have this baby, and everything will be fine."
Mei stares into the other woman's eyes for a long, silent moment before nodding. "Okay. Okay."
"Good," Midge nods back. "Breathe."
