👀 Sneak Peek: BREAKING POINT (Part 1)

Hey, friends! Happy Saturday, and thank you again for all the birthday wishes (and lovely fic gifts) these past few days. 🥰💜💜

I have another two-parter coming soon, finally the sequel to Bubbly in the Every Second Counts-verse...

BREAKING POINT

Pairing: Russell Shaw x Reader

Summary: Russell made you a promise, but “getting out” of government contract work is even more difficult than he thought it would be. Is he willing to put the past aside, or is this going to be your breaking point?

Coming soon in Part 1:

“That’s classified,” he said, only somewhat joking.

“Look, I get that. I know there’s a lot you can’t tell me,” you said, “but give me the broad strokes, okay? Besides Doug, who have been the important people in your life? Where were you stationed? How many countries have you seen?”

Russell let out a deep breath. None of your questions had easy answers. He knew he needed to give you something, even if it was just broad strokes. But…he just couldn’t bring himself to look back anymore. There was too much tied to things he couldn’t, shouldn’t tell you. Mostly it was for your own safety, but selfishly, there were also things he didn’t want to let loose. If he did, maybe it would change the way you looked at him with those soft, loving eyes. 

“Look, maybe that’s not something we should get into tonight,” he said. 

 Your expression shifted into disappointment. You seemed to be making that face a lot lately, whenever he told you about another job out of town, whenever he didn't come home when he initially said he would, whenever he closed up on you.

But this time, you closed up on him.

“You know what, it’s been a long day. I think I’m feeling too tired to cook,” you said. You tossed the wad of empty grocery bags under the kitchen sink and passed by him on your way out of the room, and over to the bedroom.

Russell blinked in confusion. 

“Well, wait, what’re we gonna eat then?” he called after you.

“I don’t know. Make yourself a sandwich,” you said, just before he heard the door shut.

The loud thud made him sigh through his nose. He surveyed the ingredients you’d intended to cook with strewn across the kitchen counter and rubbed a hand over his bearded face. 

“Shoulda saved that conversation for after dinner,” he mused.

Part 1 is out now!

Part 2

He dreamt about her again last night. This was the 3rd night in a row, and it was driving him crazy.

He'd admired her for years, ever since they were introduced back at UA in his 2nd year, but things had changed since then, and he was afraid to admit it. They had become close friends over the years, but she occupied so much of his mind that he could barely concentrate, but he had to, he had work to do and needed to stay focused. Heroes can't fall in love, it's just too dangerous. The fewer weaknesses you have as a hero, the better. That didn't stop others, but it scared him more than he cared to admit.

He scoffed down his protein-packed breakfast and did his warm-ups as his coffee brewed for the long shift ahead of him. When his phone went off and he saw Eijiro's face pop up on the screen, he answered it.

"Hey, Eijiro." He said, fully expecting the human personification of a hype-train.

"You seen the news?"

"Huh? No? Why?"

"It's Saiyu."

His heart leapt into his throat.

The seriousness in his voice worried him and he switched on the TV, only to see Saiyu on the news in a one-on-one fight with a villain. It was serious. The villain's quirk was a bad match for hers and she was struggling to keep him at bay. Wounded and exhausted she hit him with another attack, which she managed to land, but the recoil from his attack blasted her backward into a nearby building.

"Where the hell is her backup!?"

"There's a new gang trying to gain control of that area. All the other heroes on patrol have their hands full. I'm on my way now, but I'm too far away."

"Damn it!!" He yelled. He hung up and leapt out of the window of his apartment, not wasting any time.

He used as much of his quirk as he could to get to her as quickly as possible while conserving as much energy as he could for the fight ahead.

"I can't let her die." He thought, as he flew past building after building at lightning speed. "I won't."

"Shit." Saiyu thought as she crawled desperately to her feet. "His quirk is the worst match imaginable for me, and backup is too far away. The only option I have is to try to stall him, but I'm reaching my physical limit and that's only weakening my quirk. Damn it!"

"What's wrong girl?" Laughed the villain. "You struggling to keep up? Some hero you are."

"Argh! Shut up!!" She yelled, leaping toward him as fast as she could. She was fed up with his bullshit.

"I have to try to gather as much information about his quirk as I can before help arrives, but I also need to try to tire him out. I need to keep going!"

He reached out his hand and launched another attack that she barely managed to dodge. She smirked when she realised he was getting slower, if only just a little, but that was good news. Even if she could only slow him down just a little, that would mean victory or defeat for her eventual backup. She had to hold out.

"What's wrong?" She taunted. "Getting tired old man?"

"On the contrary." He replied, as an energy began building around his fist. "I was just storing energy for my final blow. Say goodnight girl."

Her smirk faded and she froze.

"Why did I freeze?" She asked herself. "Move. Move!"

Her legs kicked her off the ground as hard and fast as she could muster and the villain punched the air so hard the shock waves engulfed three entire blocks.

She managed to avoid the brunt of the blast, but she crashed violently into a building and felt all the air be forced out of her lungs from the impact.

She lay in the rubble, unable to move, as the villain approached her, laughing. Her entire body ached and no matter how hard she tried, she could only move an arm at best.

"I'm impressed you managed to dodge that attack." The villain taunted. "Too bad you can't dodge this one."

As she watched him raise his hand again and she could feel the energy build up, her mind went blank, except for one face.

"Katsuki."

When an explosion went off, the thought that was it, that it was the end, until she realised she wasn't hit, and a familiar voice cut through the air.

"Saiyu!!" Yelled Bakugou. His eyes wide with worry as he saw her lying there motionless.

The villain winced as he emerged from the settling dust. "You pesky heroes! Just when I think I've won, another one of you always charges in to ruin everything!! DIE!!"

"I don't think so asshole!" Bakugou replied.

A blinding light built up around his hands and a blast so bright and powerful exploded right in the villain's face. Saiyu closed her eyes as the blast blinded her and she felt the building shake violently, rubble falling around her, but she was unable to shield herself properly.

As soon as the blast subsided and there was no trace of the villain left, Bakugou rushed to her side, frantically pulling rubble off of her and carrying her out of the building before it collapsed.

"Hey! Look at me! Saiyu!" He said, his heart racing with worry.

She slowly blinked her eyes open. "Katsuki." She croaked. "I tried to tire him out. I tried to stall as...as long as I could."

"You did great." He smiled, his eyes welling up. "I wouldn't have been able to defeat him so quickly if it weren't for you."

She smiled weakly.

Bakugou tapped the earpiece in his left ear. "Eijiro! I'm taking Saiyu to the hospital. The villain is down. Have a recovery team get here asap. The area was evacuated, but the damage is extensive, I wanna be sure no one was caught in the crossfire."

"Got it. On my way." Kirishima replied.

He looked back down at Saiyu and picked her up. "Let's get you to recovery girl."

She was too weak to say anything else, she just let herself pass out, knowing she was safe now. Knowing he was there.

Saiyu was in the hospital for 3 days. Her wounds were extensive but, luckily, most of it was able to be repaired. Unfortunately, she would need a support item for her right leg for the rest of her career, but as long as she used it, she would be able to fight as normal.

Bakugou didn't leave her side once, he slept in the chair beside her bed and helped the nurses take care of her. Despite how many times she told him to go home and get some proper rest, he refused every time.

Part of her genuinely did want him to go get some rest, but the other part was glad he was there. She didn't want to be alone at night when visiting hours were over, that was when there was nothing to stop her mind from going to dark places. Having him there was like a cure, she didn't know why, but he made her feel safe and she needed him.

"Eat dumbass!" Bakugou scolded, shoving the home-cooked food in her face that the others had brought her earlier. "You haven't been eating properly! Your body needs energy to help you recover you idiot!"

Saiyu politely refused. "I'm just not very hungry."

"Tough shit!"

She smiled. She felt so lucky to have a friend like him. Willing to take multiple days off work to take care of her despite her being in a literal hospital. But her smile didn't last long.

...friend...

"Look." He said. "I know you must feel bad for losing to that villain, but you-"

He stopped when he noticed her crying.

"I just-" she sobbed. "I just can't believe I almost lost to some fucking lackey. What kind of hero am I if I lose to a shitty villain like that? If you hadn't have shown up, I would've died. I just feel so...useless."

His demeanour shifted. He was serious now, not his usual hot-headed, loud self, and his tone was softer.

"You're a true hero, you know that?" He said. She looked at him. "It doesn't matter if you win or lose or if you need help in a fight or not, you still held him off and kept him away from civilians until help could get there. You did a great job, you really did. Plus, his quirk was your literal weakness, how often has that happened? You're not useless, you're-...you're incredible."

He wiped the tears from her face with his sleeve and she realised, in that moment, what she had been denying for years; that she loved him.

"So stop moping already and eat something, god damn it." He added.

She smiled, barely able to see through the tears. "Okay."

✍🏽 Writing Update

Hi friends!

If you follow this regularly scheduled program, you'll probably already know that I'm gearing up to start posting the new Russell Shaw (Tracker) series that will continue A Line and a Half, called Every Second Counts (next week!).

I also have a three-part story coming up for the Midnight Espresso-verse! ☕

It's going to see the return of Carter, the reader's ex-douchebag boyfriend. This will also be part of the "fix it" to 15.20, and will take place in that episode. (Thank you @siampie for stoking the flames of this idea!)

I'm still debating on when to start posting this one, either alongside or after Every Second Counts, but we'll see! Just wanted to let you guys know that it's coming up. ���

Dream With Me

Pairing: Dean Winchester x Plus-sized!Reader (Latina)

Summary: When your ex-boyfriend calls for help on a case, you have a tough decision to make. But Dean isn’t going to let you do anything alone. (AKA: The last hunt you, Sam, and Dean will ever go on together.)

👀 Sneak Peek:

Part 1 - "On the Drop of a Dime"

“Look…I’m the Job, you know? What the hell would I even do if not this?” he says.

You reach for his hand and lay a kiss over his knuckles. You know he thinks being a hunter is all he’s good for—all he’s equipped to do. You also know that he’s so much more than the Job. 

“Dean, you’re one of the smartest, most resourceful people I know. You can…restore cars, build cars,” you suggest. Your excitement grows as you brainstorm for him. You tap on his thigh.

“Oh! You could open up a bar. Call it the Roadhouse, after the one your friends had. Or hey, we could open up a bakery. We’ll sell pies and flan and whatever the hell else you want me to make.”

You say that last bit with a giggle. It earns his smile, but you know, looking into his eyes, that he’s not convinced. You grab his hand again with both of yours.

“Come on, Dean. Dream with me for a second,” you implore. “I know we could do this. We could…we could have a different life. A peaceful life. We could have a family.”

Dean sighs, glancing down at his hands. They’re calloused and scarred, and he has the memories to match.

Coming on 6/30…

WHY MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IS VELVETTE + DISCUSSION AND HEADCANONS ♡°◌̊

1) okay BEGINNING IN PILOT ERA! WE’RE GOING BACK TO 2019 BABY!

:INITIAL IMPRESSIONS:

like most ppl (i think), i barley even noticed Velvette’s approximately 2 second appearance in the pilot!

like holy shit dude. by the time this scene with the Vees played i was already occupied with texting my friends a screenshot of Alastor and typing away about how fucking cool he was and why they should watch this amazing pilot(•̥́_•ૅू˳) (i most definitely used like 5 “XD”s in this message.)

Anywho after my 30th rewatch, The release of the Addict music video, and reading Dirty Healings, I was like “oh theres this trio of villain guys that shows up for like a split second in the pilot. MAYBE I SHOULD PAY ATTENTION?

and of course the first thing i saw was valentinos massive glasses because of the eyecatching gold rims. plus, he was already recognizable to me due to the content i viewed previously. i saw vox next CUZ HES FUCKING BLUE. (also in 2019, tv head deviant art ocs were all the rage right?)

but yet again, i barley noticed velvette(ﾒ・ん・)？

maybe it was her her dark color pallet + primarily magenta design that blended into the background for me? (her selfie with vox was pretty cute tho)

:CURRENT IMPRESSIONS:

fuck, SHE WAS ADORABLE IN PILOT ERA. I DIDNT EVEN RECOGNIZE HER AS THE SAME CHARACTER IN THE MAIN SERIES AT FIRST.

i swear i need to open my eyes cuz her pfp on vox’s phone made it rlly obvious (✧≖‿ゝ≖)

Her accent was a HUGE surprise to me. it fits her current look so much more than her pilot appearance. i was expecting her to have a nifty-esc personality/ voice acting as if to mirror Alastors relationship with her.

While Alastor has Nifty and Husk, I thought Vox’s relationship to Valentino and Velvette would be basically the same…(i was very wrong)

So while i think her lolita/goth/scene/ whatever in the fuck vibe she had going on in the pilot was adorable, im verrryyyy pleased with the design change. ( im not completely happy with her current look BUT THATS NORMAL FOR ME WHEN IT COMES TO HELLAVERSE DESIGNS).

:PILOT DESIGN HEADCANONS:

since the pilot is primarily canon (unless otherwise stated in the main series), i left it up to myself to determine what the reason was for her drastic change in style. esp cuz in the main show she seems to value modern fashion trends and reject anything similar to her old style. heres what i came up with :

a) ez explanation is that velvette simply had an alternative phase. she was on trend in the pilot era and shes on trend again now. if im to assume (probably incorrectly) that the pilot took place in 2019-2020ish, the current fashion trends around that time were all about becoming weird + embracing alternative fashion as opposed to the “basic white girl”, “hipster” , and “baddie” esc trends of the 2010s. when that trend ended, she moved on as well.

b) alternatively, she died with that lolita-esc fashion sense. she was always into alt and/or vintage inspired looks. maybe she was even the weird girl in school and looked to find her “people” online in these niche spaces. resultingly, she blew up and became the social media sensation she is now.

the reason she changed? pressure to be taken seriously as an overlord? Vox’s influence/guidance which taught her the importance of staying current and modern?

or maybe (the headcanon i stick to the most) the change stemmed from a need to find her place among the other two vees. since both vox and valentino were ticking time bombs of emotional instibility, she felt it was her responsibility to become the grounded “voice of reason”. She discovered what it was that the Vees were needing, and became that. By extension, her style cleaned up, becoming more mature.

IN CONCLUSION: Is my obsession with velvette less-so about the canon aspects of her character and more about my own conclusions ive come to about her ?

well … yes.

but shes also a spunky girl with a wicked singing voice. also, shes evil. whats not to like?

[dedederedeconstructivist]

Mountains… Heavy are the mountains.

Yet that changes, with the passage of time.

Sky… Blue sky. What your eyes can’t see. What your eyes can see.

The Sun… One. Only one.

Water… It is agreeable.

Commander Ikari?

Flowers… So many of the same. So many without purpose.

Sky… Sky of red. Red the colour. The colour I hate.

The liquid flows. It drips, ripples, and pours.

Blood… The scent of blood. A woman who does not bleed.

From the Red Soil the humans come. Humans made by man and woman.

City… A human creation.

Eva… a human creation as well.

What are humans? Are they creations of god?

Humans are that which is created by humans.

This is that which is mine: my life, my heart, I am a vessel for my thoughts.

The entry plug… The throne of the soul.

Who is this? This is me?

Who am I? What am I? What am I? What am I? What am I? What am I? What am I?

I am I./I am myself.

This object that is is myself. That which forms is me. This is the self that can be seen, and yet this is not like that which is myself.

A strange feeling. My body feels as if it is melting. I can no longer see myself. My form, my shape, fades from view.

Awareness dawns of someone who is not me. Who is here? Beyond me here?

Shinji?

This person – I know. Major Katsuragi. Dr. Akagi. People. My classmates. The pilot of Unit 02.

Commander Ikari?

Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?

Ever since Josie was a baby she's been obsessed with dragons. She knew one day she was going to meet her very own dragon. Now she thinks she's met the one. Bobby stepped in to protect her and her little brother from being bullied at school but is he what he appears to be?

I hope you join me in this new story I've been working on which will start in January right after Chasing Shadows is done. This is another branch of the Reagan family. For reference Josie is jolene and Eli's cousin, her parents are the twins of Jonah and Ethan. If you want to read the stories that have come before you can find them on WP Blog:

Enough

Twisted Christmas

The Hollow

One More for Christmas

Christmas Wishes

I missed this year creating a Christmas story with them as I have done in the past. It just didn't work out this year for various RL events number one being my sister being in an accident and being in the hospital. So I just focused on finishing Chasing Shadows.

You don't have to read the previous stories as each story stand alone even though they do build off the previous ones. I love this family as much or possibly more than I love Jonah's family.

shattered on the cliff’s edge, trapped by the tides

Summary: Steve Harrington, disgraced and disowned by his father for moral insanity, has been haunted by eerie dreams of a mysterious lighthouse ever since he was a little boy. His lighthouse quickly turns from recurring night terror to gruesome reality when his superior delegates him to fix the broken light and be the new keeper.

With only his clothes and a pocket watch that only ever shows the correct time twice a day, Steve makes his way up north. Robin, his wife for appearance’s sake, said to meet him there. But Robin never makes it, and Steve soon finds himself trapped in cold, whispering loneliness.

The locals claim that the lighthouse is haunted, cursed, and Steve — followed and plagued by terrible murmurs urging him to leave while he can, and faced with what can only be the ghost of a former keeper — is inclined to agree.
