#quinn: (immense concern)

[iiiknowplaces]

we'll never have sex, quinn fabray.

| warnings: angst-fluff, fem! reader. quinn is a lesbian hopelessly in love, reader is longing for someone to love her. they make the perfect match. reader isn't comfortable with non-innocent intimacy.

quinn fabray was hopeless. she was in love with a girl, for christ's sake. she'd disappointed her daddy enough when she'd gotten pregnant, and then didn't even raise the baby. let alone now, that she's revealed she's a lesbian to the entire school. she knows she'll never hold the crown of most popular, but she didn't care anymore. all she wanted was for the girl she loved most to love her back.

your family was more accepting than hers, and due to your status in the glee club, you liking girls wasn't that big of a shock to mckinley. you'd made plenty of friends to help clean you off when a slushy would fly straight to your face, so it wasn't as terrible. you stuck around quinn a lot, her having found a comfort in you, that you were unaware of. eventually, quinn revealed her feelings, and was so immensely happy that they were reciprocated.

that was 6 months ago. quinn had changed, matured within the time of your relationship. she'd grown up, a lot. you stayed sweet and soft, something quinn has grown to adore. you lay in bed with your girlfriend, head on her chest, as she brushes your hair out of your eyes softly. she messed it up a little, from brushing her fingers through, but that's okay, she'll fix it later. for now, she focuses on pampering you. your love was gentle, something she'd never experienced before you. maybe that's why she loves you so much, because you didn't want her for your sexual desires. you didn't seem to have any, actually. you stray as far away from those as you can. that's alright, she won't judge or rush you, and she'd rather die than watch the tears fill your eyes. you were an easy crier. one time, she'd brought something up, and it'd upset you quickly. your face got all splotchy and pink, and your face twisted in a heart-wrenching way. you looked so sad, it was just terrible. she'd pulled you into her arms as quick as possible, eager to get that look off of your face. she didn't realize she was lost in her thoughts, and that her hand had paused, until she heard your voice.

"quinn?" you ask, worried eyes gazing up at her. she looked down, her hand returning to those gentle caresses. "are you okay?"

"mhm, i'm okay. just thinking." she replies, voice kind as ever. it was a side of her that only you got to see.

"about what?" you ask, filled with curiosity and concern.

"about you, pretty baby." she answers, hoping your questions would slow, and you wouldn't be as worried. she didn't wanna say that she was thinking about how her heart felt like it was ripped from her chest when you cried.

"m'kay." was your murmur, before you curled further into her chest. you were tired, it wasn't difficult to tell by the way one hand clutched at her shirt and how the other's grip loosened on your floral bedsheets. your eyes fluttered closed, and she watched with a gentle smile, before tugging you up as slowly as she possibly could. "c'mon, let's get you into some pajamas."

Humans are weird - Floor time?

Quinn(a): ....Edith why are you laying on the floor?

Edith(h): I was sitting wrong and now my back hurts and this is kind of helping

Quinn: *sigh*, do you want me to go get some pain killers out of the clinic for you? I doubt you've taken anything to help.

Edith: Wow... I can't believe you doubt my ability to take care of myself.....but yeah that would actually be really nice :)

Quinn: Okay, I'm going to go grab one of the smaller bottles so you can just keep some in your room for the next time your back is hurting.

*A few minutes later Quinn returned with a glass of water and a bottle of acetamide medication*

Edith: Thank you <3

...you know I'm probably still going to lay on the floor right?

Quinn: I wouldn't expect anything less, just make sure you go lay in the bed before you pass out.

Edith: No promises~

Quinn: God you're so weird

Edith: shh, you know you love me

*Quinn adds another note about humans to the general guide to handling intergalatic relations they're writing: If you see a Human laying on the floor, it may not be cause for serious concern. Unless a immense physical injury is obvious, just check on the Human instead of panicing.*

Batcat Epic: The Musical AU:

Odysseus - Selina Kyle (antihero of guile, pride, courage, charisma and gritty realism; highly skilled and experienced fighter, but not one for wanton violence, preferring to think and talk her way to victory; devoted but distant lover and caretaker; can be hubristic and overly ambitious; both calculating and impulsive; willing to lie, betray, murder, torture and go to other incredibly ruthless, morally dark places, but nonetheless loves with everything she has, frequently thinks of others and chooses to be selfless; struggles with severe depression, guilt, self-loathing and even suicidal ideation; becomes afraid of herself and how she hurts and endangers everyone around her)

Penelope - Bruce Wayne (wise, cunning, fair and kind; respected leader of his people who lives in a big fancy house on a hill; has that homophrosyne with Selina; loves unconditionally; never kills and doesn’t want to - he would not murder a baby in his establishing scene; Sirenelope gets to be Hush)

Telemachus - Holly Robinson (young adult child of Selina who’s grown up away from her in more stability and comfort; wants to be close to her but also escape her shadow; in the process of emotionally maturing; generally more positive, idealistic and sociable than Selina albeit with her own issues; willing to fight and kill for her family; themes of sexual abuse to some degree - “Hold him down” and “Get off me!” anyone?)

Eurylochus - Barbara Gordon (foil to Selina; strong, confident, intelligent fighter and strategist; usually a reliable and valuable ally, but inclined to break away from authority figures when their personal philosophies clash as she has her own leadership qualities; pragmatic and morally grey, but not in all the same ways as Selina; focuses on the bigger picture and the needs of the many, caring deeply and feeling responsible for all her people, while Selina gets tunnel vision about her goals and inner circle; suspicious and distrustful)

Polites - Maggie Kyle (one of Selina’s dearest loved ones; much more idealistic than her, having faith in the goodness of people and the potency of kindness, empathy and nonviolent, nonconfrontational approaches; emotionally intelligent; doomed to be a tragic figure of separation, grief and heartache, haunting Selina’s narrative after she loses her)

Athena - Artemis, goddess of the hunt, the wild and female independence; but also (seen more with Holly) motherhood and protection of maidens and daughters, despite also being the god assigned with killing them; played by Helena Bertinelli and transforms into a bat

Circe - Poison Ivy (literally and figuratively enchanting lady of great power with dominion over nature; may seem callous and evil, and certainly has a low opinion of men, but is motivated by earnest, protective love for the life under her care; willing to use violence, manipulation and seduction to get what she wants; grows to be more compassionate and merciful, and from Selina’s enemy into an ally)

Hermes - Harley Quinn (���Ivy’s so badass and clever and hot, she could defeat you effortlessly in so many fun ways and look damn good doing it - what? Yeah, I’m totally on your side! I’m giving you drugs, ain’t I?”; she knew Selina and Ivy would make friends all along, that sneaky crime goddess)

Zeus - Black Mask (the most bastard, arrogant, sadistic control freak, forces Selina to choose between sacrificing herself or her loved ones, very bad to women)

Poseidon - the Penguin (lord of an immense territory who rules through fear and reputation, keenly concerned with his image; typically practical and cold, not senselessly evil, but bitter, cruel, vindictive and prone to taking unbelievably excessive revenge on anyone who slights him; cynical enough to believe that he’s only doing what survival in this unjust world requires of him; aquatic theme)

Polyphemus - maybe Waylon Jones in his most bloodthirsty, monstrous Killer Croc mode (sorry, Waylon, I know you’re better than this; but crocodiles are aquatic, so the Poseidon connection makes sense)

Aeolus - Edward Nygma (affable but tricky; smug, condescending, knows more than you and loves it; enjoys giving people ludicrously difficult challenges and games that he fully expects them to fail and then blames them when they do anyway)

Antinous - Sylvia Sinclair (one of Selina’s most personal enemies even though they don’t spend much time together, because she lays claim to Selina’s territory and plots to ruin and kill her family; gets killed with one shot from behind at a climactic moment) or the Joker (here to cause problems on purpose; Bruce isn’t gonna fuck you, clown)

Anticlea - Leslie Thompkins (Selina’s elderly mother figure in adulthood; benevolent community leader)

Tiresias - Cassandra Cain (sees in a special way normal people can’t, giving her the ability to read their souls and predict their futures; profoundly familiar with death; wants to help, but can’t always communicate her information helpfully to others; broody as hell)

Calypso - Talia al Ghul (LISTEN Epic Calypso is not necessarily a rapist! She’s just a lonely, morally complex, controlling and possessive but genuinely loving and well-intentioned woman who rules a beautiful island; and has dodgy social skills because she’s always been in a position of power and privilege while suffering, emotionally neglected and isolated from normal people, trapped by her evil father’s legacy)

Astyanax - Kitrina Falcone (the youngest, most innocent member of a family of Selina’s sworn enemies, who she wishes to raise as her own; in any universe, their meeting will… permanently change Kitrina’s fate)

And Argos is a kitty cat!

Pride headcanons for School Spirits? (I think it’s called that sorry I don’t go there shdjkfkg)

HI THIS MADE ME SMILE SO WIDE!!! thank you sweet anon for just giving me a pass to speak. unfortunately! (or fortunately!) you have released a demon. I brought pictures!

Maddie is a bi ace-spec demigirl !! & her pronouns are she/they. Nicole and Si make fun of her all the time for being the stereotype of the bi girl with the lame straight boyfriend. every boy they date comes out as bi afterwards like they're a harbinger of bisexuality. doesn't ID as trans but does ID as nonbinary

Si is a trans girl (I have decided on calling her Sidney I think), her pronouns are they/she, & they're not super concerned with sexuality labels but ID as sapphic bc their attraction to Maddie is the most important thing. lol. but she has been/will be attracted to men at least conceptually

Xavier is bi ... he doesn't bring it up often but he doesn't shy away from it either. also I think he calls himself 100% cis and only uses he/him in daily life, but he has neopronouns in the bio of his private twitter (it/hx/they)

I haven't figured out 100% where I fall with Wally gender-wise but he is definitely 100% painfully bisexual. even if it took him a while to acknowledge it. my guy was born in 1965 and didn't have his first pride until 2024 ... sad </3 someone else had a very compelling case for trans girl Wally also ... which I definitely fw I've been chewing on it. either way there are some gender roles here that need unpacked

Rhonda is 100% a DYKE!!!! a girlkisser. a girl lover. her comphet has done horrible horrible things to her unfortunately but I think once she realizes that liking girls is actually a thing she can do, and girls' crushes on girls are actually real, she'd be unstoppable. I think she'd be kind of ambivalent about pronouns, like... she's never felt uncomfortable being a woman but she knows she's not the most feminine person in the world so if someone was like “well have you considered pronouns...” she would tell you to use “whatever” but it doesn't make her not a woman. GNC cis I guess

Janet is an ace lesbian !! she doesn't care about sex she cares about beakers and such. it's not a label she comes across on her own (especially considering her upbringing & when she grew up) but she feels such an immense relief when it's explained to her. ever since she was a little girl she knew she never wanted to marry a man. I think she'd stick with she/her bc she's just glad that being a woman is less of a prison than when she was alive. it's still kind of a prison but much less.

Quinn is a pan trans girl (she/her) <3 I think she came out as trans as a little girl to her family but started actually transitioning (at least socially) in middle school. she came out as pan as soon as she heard of it & I think she would love putting little pan flags on everything she owns

Yuri cares NOT for labels!! he's not gay but he's not bi but he's not pan, he's not cis but he's not nonbinary, he's definitely queer but beyond that he's just himself. he mostly uses he/him pronouns because he's been using he/him pronouns for like 50 years, but if you sat down with him to have a conversation about gender he talks about it being made up and that he's not a man, but he isn't not a man, because what makes up a “man” is a stupid concept anyway, and you'd say “so are you nonbinary?” he would shrug and go back to his pottery wheel

Nicole & Claire are both cis lesbians I think. Claire is deeply deeply closeted though I think, she's kind of into her own image (especially towards the beginning of the series) & especially concerned with how her parents see & treat her. I think hooking up with boys she shouldn't is her desperately trying to have some control over her sexuality (it's not really working). plus Xavier looks kinda like a butch lesbian if you squint so it's fine. Nicole's sexuality isn't a big deal to her (I also think she's into Maddie but assumes she has no chance with her because Maddie always has some lame boyfriend). she's not out to her parents but is out to her brother + on social media

bonus: (since I ran out of image space) I think Mr Martin is aromantic & gay but probably wouldn't call himself aromantic. and does not want to acknowledge that he's gay because he has enough problems. this is why he killed himself after his female fiancee left him because he cannot pretend to date another woman. imo

The Family Dynamic: Hughes!Sister

Author: @cw-coffeeandice

Title: The Family Dynamic

Summary: a brief introduction to the Hughes family.

Comment: As a lifelong hockey fan, I'm stepping into new territory by sharing my writing for the first time. For 2025, I’ve decided to put my creative skills to the test and see where this journey takes me. While I’ve often written short stories for fun, I’ve never shared the worlds I’ve created with others—until now. I’m excited to see how this evolves.

If you enjoyed this, please feel free to let me know through an ask, comment, or reblog. I’m always open to prompts, suggestions, and feedback!

Please note this writing is unedited

Jim is the quintessential hockey dad. When he wasn’t working or coaching, he could always be found at the rink with his kids. As a coach, Jim was disciplined and no-nonsense, instilling a sense of structure and responsibility that benefitted all four of his children. He was the supportive, steady presence at home, leaving the day-to-day discipline to his wife, Ellen. Watching his children grow into incredible young adults, both on and off the ice, filled Jim with immense pride and gratitude for everything his wife sacrificed to make their kid's dreams come true.

Ellen is the backbone of the family—a full-time mom to a handful of hyperenergetic, fiercely competitive kids. Managing their schoolwork and hockey schedules and keeping them all alive (which, some days, she and Jim called a miracle) was no easy feat. But Ellen thrived in the chaos. She was fiercely proud of her children, watching her boys grow into accomplished young men while her daughter carved out her own legacy.

Quinn, the eldest, was the responsible, rule-following perfectionist of the family. He thrived on structure and order, dedicated to following rules to the letter. As the older brother, he was protective of his younger siblings, often taking it upon himself to enforce the rules he believed everyone should follow. As he grew, hockey became second nature to him—both a mental and physical pursuit. Quinn loved studying the game, honing his skills, and constantly working to improve on the ice. He wasn’t the most outgoing of the siblings, but he preferred it that way, enjoying the sense of calm that came with his focused, introverted nature.

Jack, the middle child, was born to challenge Quinn. A natural social butterfly and a bit of a rebel, Jack loved testing boundaries, whether with his older brother, his parents, or his coaches. He was the glue of the family. Though he often instigated conflict, he was also the one who stepped in to resolve it. Jack had a unique relationship with each member of the family, always making time for the people he loved, no matter how busy life got. On the ice, Jack worked hard to develop his skills, but hockey never felt like a chore. It came naturally to him, and he thrived on dominating the game. The best part was sharing those wins with his brothers.

Luke, the youngest of the boys, was the family’s comic relief. The most easygoing of the children, Luke had a gift for making his family laugh, often in the most unexpected ways. His biggest concern was simply trying to keep up with his older brothers—though this often led to humorous situations. Like Quinn, Luke excelled at defensive play on the ice. He and his younger sister, Hannah, were so close in age that they were practically raised as twins. That closeness did create a special bond.

Hannah, the youngest and only girl, was a surprise—so much so that Ellen considered permanent birth control, and Jim eventually got a vasectomy. As the only girl in a hockey-focused family, Hannah was often compared to her older brothers. Initially, the comparisons didn’t bother her, but it became clear that women’s hockey was not always treated the same as the men’s game. Despite these differences, Hannah had made peace with the path she would take in hockey. She loved the game, and that passion was enough to fuel her desire to continue playing. The ice was her sanctuary, where she could define success in her own way.

tense

January 13, 2024

Lucia was tense ever since she found out Mackie got called up and he would be playing for Florida and the Devils were playing the panthers soon.

Lucia had her noise canceling head phones on looking out the window and Jack sat next to her not hiding his concern for his baby sister.

Jack and Quinn both saw that Mackie got called up and his second game would be playing against the Devils and they knew it will be the first time since everything happen that the two will see each other again.

Quinn told Jack to lay so many hits on Mackie and Quinn promised to hit Mackie once he plays against him.

John who sat across the isle from Lucia gave her a concerning look noticing how snappy and closed off she had been the past few days and he has notice how concerned and more protective Jack has been of her.

He looked over and saw Nico looking at Lucia and Jack with a look as well and John knew Nico was worried.

The plane landed in Florida and the team slowly got off and Lucia kept her headphones on listening to her music and ignoring everything else.

Jack slid into the spot on the bus next to his little sister before anyone else could, he didn’t know how to help her so he was going to stay close by in case she needed him.

Lucia’s jaw was clenched as she looked outside the window as the bus drove to the arena.

Lucia stood up and followed Jack off the bus and into the Arena still ignoring every one and everything as she kept her headphones on.

Lucia walked next to Jack through the hallways into locker room and she headed to her stall to her ready.

Before she knew it she was on the ice warming up and could feel a pair of eyes on her, she knew exactly who they are.

Lucia headed to the bench as she waited for her first shift.

Jack looked very worried but also angry as he saw Mackie continuing to stare at his sister.

Jack bumped his shoulders to his sisters and she gently bumped back before they hopped onto the ice for their first shift.

Lucia was luckily not running into Mackie in her first few shifts but she wasn’t that lucky.

“Hey.” Mackie skated over to her when the whistle was blown and he was standing near her.

Lucia clenched her jaw and stubbornly kept her chin up not even twitching hearing him talk to her.

“Lucy?” Mackie frowned why he was ignoring her.

John looked across the ice and could she the unease in Lucia’s shoulders and he saw a player standing there talking to her, he skated over and ignored the player completely and nudged Lucia away.

“Thanks.” Lucia mumbled once John got her away from Mackie, she just didn’t expect someone emotions to hit her again seeing him and she needed a second.

John just nodded and stood on the side making sure to block her from the player.

Lucia came back in the second period angry, angry that she still has so much emotions from everything that happened and angry she let Mackie affect her so badly.

Lucia saw Mackie skating down the ice in front of the benches and quickly skated over stealing the puck from him and landing a very hard hit on him making him slam into the wall and almost fall into his teams bench.

“What the hell Lucy!” Mackie spat as he got back up and glared at her.

“Whoops.” Lucia smirked shrugging back and turned around ignoring him and hopping onto her bench.

Jack was sitting on the bench as he watched his sister throw the hit on Mackie and he proudly smiled glad Mackie is getting what he deserves. Lucia sat down next to Jack and he tapped her shins with proud smile and she smiled slight back.

Lucia continued to lay hits on Mackie through out the rest of the game and it got out a lot of the emotions she was holding in.

It helped immensely that the Devils beat the Panthers that night 4-1.

Lucia hurried off to the showers the second they were dismissed wanting to get out of here as soon as possible, she hoped if she was quick after the game she could leave before she could run into Mackie and get onto the bus early and wait there.

But she was not lucky.

Lucia walked out of the locker room and went to put her headphones on just as she heard her name being called by a voice she was trying to avoid.

Lucia clenched her teeth cursing as the voice kept calling her name louder and getting closer to her until she felt a hand on her arm and she quickly jerked around like she was burned and turned around to face him glaring at him not caring for the hurt on his face, he had to no right to be hurt.

Lucia raised an eyebrow at him crossing her arms around herself protectively.

“Did i do something?” Mackie asked confused why Lucia was treating him this way and didn’t answer his texts or calls anymore.

Lucia harshly scoffed realizing Mackie thought he didn’t do anything wrong, “Next time you get in a relationship maybe end your friends with benefits first or don’t just post the relationship online.” Lucia harshly whispered out not wanting the whole hallway to hear her but wanted Mackie too.

Mackie face fell at her words and tone and Lucia felt a sense of satisfaction that she hurt him even if it is small compared to what he did to her.

Before Mackie could even speak a loud obnoxious voice called out his name.

“Mackie baby!!!” A short brunette wearing a very short skirt with his jersey and high heels came running over with a smile.

Lucia cringed slightly.

“Becky.” Mackie smiled tightly as she clinged onto him and he knew this wasn’t the best time for her to be here.

“Oh you must be Lucy.” Becky falsely smiled but gripped onto Mackie possessively.

“Lucia.” Lucia coldly spoke.

“Right same thing.” Becky smiled and kissed Mackie’s cheek, “So you’re the one who was keeping Mackie’s bed warm.” Becky viciously spat with a fake sweet smile.

Lucia rolled her eyes and before she could respond a voice called out.

“Everything good here?” Nico called out as Jack, John and Nico walked out and saw Lucia standing there tense with a guy and girl across from her.

Jack glared when he saw who was standing in front of Lucia and walked over putting a protective arm around Lucia’s shoulder glaring at Mackie.

“Fine Cap.” Lucia curtly nodded reassuring Nico, “I was just telling Bella here that she can enjoy my leftovers, they weren’t good anyways.” Lucia fakley smiled at the couple and walked away with her brother and John and Nico following.

“It’s Becky!” Becky dramatically whined.

Jack proudly smirked at that shaking his head fondly at his baby sister’s sass.

Lucia rolled her eyes and continued walking ignoring her.

“You okay.” Jack whispered to his baby sister.

Lucia looked at Jack’s worried eyes, “Yeah i am.” Lucia actually felt a lot a lot better seeing Mackie and realizing that while she was still hurt and angry because of what he did she no longer had any feelings for him anymore and she knew that had a lot to do with John.

Lucia sat next to Jack on the bus resting her head on the top of his head as the bus drove them to the hotel.

Lucia yawned as she stood in the hotel lobby waiting as they passed around the hotel key card.

Simon and Alex were rooming for this road trip so John offered for Lucia to be his roommate and Lucia agreed easily.

John got their key and Lucia followed him out of the lobby after she waved goodnight to her brother.

John opened the door to their hotel room letting Lucia walk in first and he shut and locker the door behind them.

He watched as Lucia walked over to the bed farthest from the air conditioner and flop onto the bed letting out a long sigh.

John knew there was something with the player Mackie that must of happened that made Lucia all tense the last few days and look upset during the game when Mackie was near her.

He walked over sitting next to her on the bed next to her, “We can talk about it whenever you want.” John softly offered.

“Aren’t you sappy today.” Lucia quipped with a small smirk as she opened her eyes and looked up seeing John looking at her already.

“The offer is there.” John just rolled his eyes fondly at Lucia’s sass already use to it but he was glad she was being her regular snippy self because then he knew she was not that upset.

“Not today but thank you.” Lucia softly mumbled.

“Whenever.” John squeezed her shoulder and stood up net seeing how her eyes followed him as he got up heading to the bathroom.

DISCLAIMER (this is your warning, horny gremlins)

Welcome! To my fanfiction lair (or otherwise known as my fanfiction bottle) where Joseph Quinn’s face makes frequent appearances and none of his characters are safe from my unhinged imagination. Before you dive into the smut, angst, fluff, or whatever combination of chaos these fics contain, please read the following—

AGE RESTRICTION

This content is written by an adult for adults (18+) only. I’m so serious. If you’re a minor, turn around, walk away, and go read about something innocent. Leave the horny nonsense to the adults, m’kay? (If I discover you have been interacting with ANY of my work, you will be blocked. That means ageless blogs too!)

All of my characters featured in my smut fics are 18 or older (truly they’re all in their 20’s or more!)

If you are under 18 and somehow still here, I do not and will never consent to you being here. Shoo.

CONTENT WARNINGS

I tag for major triggers, kinks, and anything else that might make someone clutch their pearls as best as I can. Read the tags! Respect the warnings! If you ignore them and get upset, that’s on you, bestie, not on me.

CHARACTERS I WRITE FOR

Expect to see all versions of Joseph Quinn— including but not limited to:

Eddie Munson, my loud metalhead with a heart of gold, zero chill, and a lil too much hair. Emperor Geta, a Roman trainwreck in eyeliner. Eric from A Quiet Place: Day One, a traumatized angel with 1000% of my attention. Billy Knight, my good boy with issues. Sam from Warfare, whose hobbies include being a dad to a golden retriever named Whiskey and being so down bad for his wife it’s disgusting. Michael from Hoard, who I love and cherish so deeply. That’s my man. The love of my life. Tom Grant, the certified loverboy™️. Ralph from Timewasters, my precious baby who likes ducks way too much. And Derwin (D.F.) Grunauer, my very much alive WW2 soldier who carries an immense amount of existential dread (and obsesses over his wife too).

I also dabble in characters played by other actors (Fred Hechinger, Joe Keery, Gwydion Lashlee-Walton, Kit Connor, Will Poulter, etc). You can find the full list linked right here! but let’s be real— if Joseph Quinn looks vaguely like a very tired garbage man or like someone who would kneel at your feet and worship the ground you walk on, I’ve probably written about him.

CHARACTER SLANDER POLICY

Let me make this very clear— this is a Michael (Hoard) safe space. That’s my man. That’s my deeply traumatized and kind-eyed mess of a soulmate. I would lay down my life for him. I would fight in the trenches for him. I would lose my mind in a Waffle House parking lot for him.

So if you feel the urge to waltz into my inbox to insult him, criticize me for loving him, or suggest he’s not worthy of the soft love, forehead kisses, or the emotionally stable domestic life I have to give to him— you can see yourself out. Immediately.

This is my house. You don’t get to walk in here and throw shade at the literal centerpiece of my altar and expect me to smile politely. If you don’t vibe with him, that’s absolutely fine! Scroll on by. But do not slander my boy in my home. I will block you faster than Michael can blink his beautiful, brown, haunted little eyes.

Same goes for any of my beloved disaster men— Eddie, Sam, Geta, Billy, all of them. I write them with care, intention, and sometimes a deeply concerning amount of emotional projection. So be respectful or be gone.

FAIR USE NOTICE

I don’t own any of these characters. I’m just borrowing them to make them kiss, cry, and/or absolutely lose it. These are transformative, nonprofit fanworks created under fair use. No money changes hands. Just me being dramatic about my trauma on the internet for no money at all. Free for you, straight to your device!

DON’T STEAL MY STUFF

Don’t repost, don’t translate without my permission, and for the love of Quinn, don’t feed my fics to AI.

If you’re an adult who respects tags and likes to be ruined emotionally with a side of smut— welcome! If not, close the tab, go hydrate, and rethink your life choices.

Please, I want to hear more about Danny and the loss of his arm and how he felt about it! We know Quinn blames himself and has distanced himself from Danny because of it, but does Danny know that? It makes me wonder if, after Quinn starts to settle down and become happy with Vincent, he realises how much he misses Danny / can accept what happened and gets back to being bffs with him.

More Danny content, let's gooooo

All in all, I think Danny getting his arm cut off was more traumatizing for Quinn, lol. That isn't to say he wasn't affected by it, but Danny is way better at rationalizing things and seeing the positives. You could say he's allllll right (rip to his left arm 💪🙏🕊️ never forgotten...)

It takes adjusting in the beginning, especially because he's a fit man in the prime of his life and this is the worst injury he's ever endured, but he's determined to not be held back by his new disability. In fact, he's the type of guy who will make lame jokes about it whenever he can (see above lame joke). Concerning his best friend's reaction, he's much more inclined to focus on the fact that hey--Quinn saved his life! That's certainly better than being dead, eh? It's obvious to him that Quinn harbors immense guilt over it, because the prick can't even look him in the eye, and has started avoiding his calls. But Danny's assured him multiple times that he doesn't blame him in the slightest. He feels indebted to him, if anything, but Quinn will never see it that way.

Maybe it's the fact that Danny has his girlfriend Jazmine around all the time now, as they've rekindled their previous romance after she went to see him in the hospital. Jaz is super sweet and caring, but Danny gets the feeling Quinn is avoiding her (and by extension, him) on purpose. After making an effort to introduce Quinn and have him over a few times, it's clear that he doesn't want anything to do with Jaz, and Danny's not sure if this is just his regular brand of antisocial, or that Quinn's....jealous. (he is)

For Quinn, this feels like the inevitable end of their friendship, and he's using the injury as a way to stockpile all the blame and shame he's felt about his part in their relationship for years. In his eyes, he'd been a horrible friend--being a constant source of anxiety for Danny due to his reckless behavior, forcing him to assist him with his visions, imposing his feelings by trying to kiss him, etc. He knows Danny doesn't love him *like that*, especially after seeing him with Jazmine, so he doesn't want to expose them both to that extreme level of commitment anymore. It's just...so damn difficult because Danny is his best (and probably only) friend. But at this point, Quinn figures it might as well be better to just leave him alone and move on; he's got Jaz now, and they seem happy, really happy, but god..he wishes they weren't but he's not gonna be some needy freak trying to break them up..he'll get over it...he will...

With Vincent, things only escalate further. After he and Quinn establish their romantic relationship, Danny has...concerns. Danny had been there throughout all of Quinn's turbulent flings, so he has an understanding of his best friend's preferences--charming, usually dangerous, manipulative older men. And to him, Vincent seems to fit that bill exactly. Watching Quinn silently suffer through his relationship with Marc, Danny regretted not seeing the signs and stepping in earlier. Now that he's introduced to Vincent, his instinct is to assume this is another one of Quinn's reckless, risky hookups. The man appears inherently dangerous to Danny, his recent encounter with a vampire still fresh in his mind. So yeah...he's not very accepting at first. In fact, he actively objects to their relationship and has a massive fight with Quinn about it. Quinn, poor emotionally-oblivious fool that he is, takes this as Danny's belated realization that he has feelings for him after all, and then things just get even more messy 😓

They fight. Nasty things are said. Regrets are had.

It takes a while, but eventually, Danny becomes convinced of Vincent's true character. His friendship with Quinn is still on the rocks, but it's seeing Vincent's sincerity and the way he openly displays his devotion to Quinn that allows Danny to accept them both. He still feels this weird guilt about Quinn, this constant urge to protect his best friend, even from himself, but knowing that Vincent is very much in love with him and keeps his safety and happiness as his main priority is a massive relief.

They may not ever hold that same level of devotion they'd fostered after years of service and trauma together, but Quinn and Danny settle into a more natural, comfortable friendship over time. Quinn accepts and apologizes to Jazmine, as does Danny to Vincent, and the four of them develop an awkward sort of camaraderie. But they're still best friends, after everything. And they do, eventually, begin to forgive themselves for the private guilt they still carry on each other's behalf

My take on Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz) pt. 2:

I cover most of J'onn and Ma'alefa'ak's adventures on earth in my Justice League interpretation posts. But let's pick up where that one left off. Ma'alefa'ak' went on a rampage because he felt the earthmen were being prejudicial to him, and he had to be stopped by every member of the Justice League working together. But before they can capture him, Ma'alefa'ak escapes. Nobody knows where he went and nobody has the time to track him down, since the Justice League Detroit begins collapsing like a house of cards shortly after this.

J'onn then heads up to Ottawa to help found the Justice League Canada. But all the while that he's in Ottawa, he can't help thinking of his brother. He misses Ma'alefa'ak', and so he's constantly trying to find his brother at the same time he's trying to lead the Justice League Canada.

After around a year of searching as the Justice League Canada builds itself up, J'onn gets a report that his brother was spotted heading towards Colorado in the company of characters like Captain Cold and Harley Quinn. Concerned by all of this, J'onn heads off for Colorado all on his own, leaving the rest of the league to try and deal with a threat in his absence. Since he was the stabilizing force on the team, his absence is felt immensely. But they survive.

Anyways, let's check in on Ma'alefa'ak'. As mentioned previously, he ran away from the league after his rampaging attack on humanity. Knowing he needed to lie low and settle down, he shapeshifts and takes a new identity as an ordinary citizen in St. Louis, Missouri. For like 2-3 months he laid low here, just trying to lose himself in the crowd. But at some point, he accidentally runs into a group of criminals. Captain Cold and Harley Quinn had been planning on founding a team of reformed supervillians, and they chose St Louis as the perfect midway point between their locations in which to meet up and discuss it. And Ma'alefa'ak just so happens to be there observing them.

After eavesdropping on their conversation, he worms his way into the discussion and persuades them to let him join their group. He shapeshifts and pretends to be some common thug looking to go straight. He manages to work his way into their organization, and helps them plan their first activities as reformed villians. And when the other members of the team hear about a smuggling ring in Colorado and agree to head out there to bust it and showcase their new ways, Ma'alefa'ak' tags along. Some normal citizens accidentally see him transform back into his martian apperance (one even takes a screenshot), and that's how J'onn finally learns where his brother is.

J'onn ends up going down to Colorado to talk some sense into his brother, but after a brief fight with this supervillian team J'onn realizes that they're actually all looking to go straight, Ma'alefa'ak' included. He hadn't told any of them he was a martian (he was still afraid of facing humanity's scorn), but he was hoping to use them to make some form of amends for what he did. So then Martian Manhunter helps this team bust the Colorado smuggling operation.

After this, J'onn realizes that he wants to help this team of reformed villians gain legitimacy. They deserve to get the respect they deserve for making an effort at going straight. J'onn also remembers that Dr. Erdel lived here. So after like 10 years away from Colorado, J'onn's story ends the way it began: with him back in Colorado. Except this time he actually embraces humanity and settles down here.

J'onn becomes a private detective in Colorado, while also helping to mentor his brother and the other reformed supervillians (who are also now based out of Colorado to be close to him). J'onn also now has a support system of humans around him in Colorado. Or at least, he's got 2-3 human friends there now. He's got the Erdel family, who he'll always be close to (they were the first earthlings he ever met). And now he's also got Diane Meade, a policewoman who ends up as J'onn's friendly rival. He's a private detective and she's a policewoman, but they get along well. And who knows? Maybe one day (if the force gets bad enough) Diane will become J'onn's assistant at his detective agency.

But for now, J'onn J'onzz can finally say he's happy on earth. He was found new family and friends. A new job. A new life. Finally, he feels like he's home again.

Persuasion murder mystery... consider Persuasion Mattdrai??? But I need to know who would be Anne and who would be Wentworth! (Alternatively, Persuasion Quinn/Brady... or alternatively alternatively, 2x Persuasion, both Tkachuks have their hearts broken/break someone else's heart and have immediate regrets and have to wait ~8 years for it to be rectified.)

would you believe @hopetorun and i have discussed this exact topic????? we LOVE a second chance romance in this house. i think matthew makes a great anne bc immense family loyalty + concerns about how he is seen/perceived by others ... so austen heroine coded of him. at the same time leon could absolutely be the most stubborn man alive and say mean things he later regrets (see: so altered i should not have known him again). something something connor mcdavid rents the tkachuk family estate after idk, a bad business venture or something (i dont think id go FULL eliots with the tkachuks but you know. they are not as they once was! there's taryn's dowry to think of! etc). leon comes to visit his great friend. Guess Who Is There, at all the parties, being just as handsome and charming (if perhaps less open and free) as he was eight years ago. maybe leon wants to make him jealous! maybe they make fraught eye contact! maybe feelings of the heart do not wither as fast or as much as leon would like to pretend!!

Broken Dreams and Wild Hearts

Chapter 2 Pain and Suffering

Celestia cradled Quinn in her arms, her fingers tracing the delicate curves of the baby's face. She felt immense love for the little girl, now her daughter, as she gazed into her big, innocent eyes. Quinn's features were a perfect blend of Celestia and her biological mother when they were babies. As Celestia gently rocked her daughter, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness wash over her. She wiped away a tear, remembering her sister Jupiter and the close relationship they once shared. The memory of their bond was bittersweet, and Celestia felt the loss deeply.

As Celestia held Quinn in her arms, she found herself lost in thought, wondering what the future held for her and her daughter. She looked into Quinn's deep violet eyes and felt a deep sense of love and protectiveness. She knew that she would do anything to keep this little girl safe, even if it meant putting her own life at risk.

Celestia often contemplated the choices made by Jupiter, wondering what chain of events led Jupiter to leave everything she once loved and held dear, leaving it behind, turning her back on her old life, and embarking on a new journey with Camron.  There was no going back; all decisions were final. Celestia would never forget that night. Jupiter ceased to exist after that night, going by the name Dedria, from that night forward. Once she walked out that door, she was no longer welcome in Alcilca.

Tears traced a path along her cheeks, as Celestia mourned all that she had lost. Closing her eyes, she envisioned a dark-haired man on a Harley; his eyes were silver, and she could see his caring soul. He was on the side of the road; he had just been feeling free and peaceful. A feeling that had been missing from his life for a while.  He was in pain; she could see that he was with him; his friend was concerned that the man was in great pain. Quinn started to scream and cry; it was a sound that Celestia had not heard her daughter make before; she attempted to comfort the baby.

Quinn finally quietens down, falling back to sleep, a troubled expression on the baby’s face.  Celestia lays her down on the bed. Her thoughts again drifted back to the life she once loved, that life slowly slipping away; her heart felt like it was breaking, shattering into a thousand pieces. The pain in her chest was so intense that she found it hard to breathe; the pain was unbearable.

Celestia smiled; she closed his eyes, inhaling and exhaling deeply, and gradually, the sharp pain that had been coursing through her chest ebbed away. As darkness took over, and she slid to the floor, a vivid vision played of the handsome stranger.  

She was tired; she was soaked from the rain, her body shivering from the cold and the fear. Celestia didn’t know where Quinn was, her baby had been missing for twenty-four hours. The Shadow Talons, The Amethyst Sect, had been searching for her. A rival wolf pack, The Craven Pack had taken her.

The stranger came out of the north woods carrying Quinn, a group of men behind him. They were all covered in mud. The stranger looked at Quinn and Celestia, with love, care, tenderness, and relief. Celestia could feel the stranger’s protectiveness; it was overwhelming, and the group of men with him also protruded protectiveness.

“We, the brothers of The Primal Phantoms, pledge to protect the future Queen and her kingdom! We pledge our love; we pledge to fight the enemies of the Amethyst Sect of Faries and the Shadow Talons pack. We will fight for and with the Shadow Talons pack.”

XXXX

Quinn and Tala were running through the clover fields; the sun was shining, and there was a slight breeze. The girls are giggling, chasing Aisha, a guarding fairy. Tala suddenly stops, letting out a little growl; it causes Quinn to stop. Rollin and Sylvie let out a full threatening growl, and Quinn and Tala understand a threat.

. The ground started to rumble, and Quinn looked up to see the sky filled with other fairies' lights, warning her that she was in danger.

. "Run!" echoed a deep male voice in her head, Quinn stood up and started running as fast as her little legs could. She dragged Tala with her, but her friend had transformed into her wolf form.

"Go, Tala, get to Unca Ro and Aunt Sylv. I will be fine," Quinn watched her friend pause before leaving her side to run to her parents.  Quinn was trying to be brave; she knew she needed to find a safe place until her mom, Aunt Shyleigh, and Yaritza could find her or any of her aunts and uncles.

She spotted a small crevice between two rocks; she ran towards them and felt teeth and claws tearing into her skin. She cried in pain as the strange wolf dragged her from all that was familiar to her.

Suddenly, she felt the teeth and claws of an attacker tearing into her skin, and she cried out in pain. Kellen sat up in bed, screaming and sweating as he felt the pain and fear experienced by the little girl. He knew he had to find out if she had survived and gather more information about what had happened. Kellen couldn't sleep for the rest of the night, consumed by worry for the little girl.

XXXX

"Dude, you look terrible!" Sage laughed at Kellen. “I mean, it’s understandable, given you were screaming all night, and then I saw two hot women leaving your room early this morning. Way to go…”

“What the fuck are you talking about? I had nightmares last night; I was alone!”

“Don’t be embarrassed; you banged two women at once, after how many years, and they made you scream…. congrats, brother!”

“I haven’t been with anyone for five years; I was screaming last night because of nightmares. They were terrible, dude! Two chicks leaving my room, maybe you should stop drinking the cheap shit!”

"Dude, five years, you need to get laid! You got two at once…congrats! I was not drinking last night, and if I were, it wouldn’t be the cheap shit.”

Sage slapped Kellen on the back, pushing him towards the kitchen.

“Start the coffee. I’ll fix breakfast, and you tell me about that nightmare, and I will tell you about those two hot women leaving your room.”

XXX

Shyleigh and Yaritza were hidden in the shadows, keeping a watchful eye on Kellen and Sage. From their vantage point, they could see that Quinn, the young girl they had sworn to protect, was safe and secure in the care of the Shadow Talons pack and the powerful Amethyst Fairy Sect.

Shyleigh broke the silence, whispering, "He is the protector," as she pointed to Kellen's sleeping form. "The one who will ensure Quinn's safety until she is ready to lead us."

Yaritza's face revealed her concern as she asked, "Will she be leaving us soon?"

Shyleigh hesitated for a moment before answering softly, "Next year, he will find her." Her words hung in the air, conveying both a sense of foreboding and a glimmer of hope for the future.

[ofinfinitedreams]

Both of them laced in sweat under their vigorous movements. Quinn mewled and purred in delight at the sensations building within. She could feel the tightness in her stomach as she rocked her hips harder against him. The friction was divine as it added to her pleasure. Her eyes fluttered shut at the sensations he evoked. Her walls clenched around his girth as he continued his relentless thrusts against her wet heat. Her breasts bounced under his purposeful strokes. His groans reverberated in her ears causing her immense satisfaction. Her hunger and desire overwhelmed her senses. It was amazing how he fit her perfectly like a glove. It was long before they both came hard. Her moans mingled with his as they permeated the room. Her body shook as she cried his name her body undulating as the waves of pleasure coursed through her being. Her orgasm was explosive she saw stars in her eyes. Feeling him expand and release his potent inside her warmth. Her walls spasmed around him, milking him for every last drop as he filled her deliciously. Soft mutters and mewls of joy fell from her lips, as her breathing labored and evened out after a while. With a satiated smile upon her features, he collapsed beside her. The blonde was never going to get tired of him. She knew she’d be insatiable where was concerned. Now that she’s had she’s never letting go. She hummed blissfully as she moved to study his handsome features. “Aww, Samuel. You’re so sweet,” she cooed happily as her hand reached to cup his cheek lovingly, inching closer as she nestled her head upon his sweat-sheened torso. “I love you, baby. More than you know,” she mumbled tiredly. “You’ve worn me out. Give me an hour or two sleep, I should be good to go,” she chuckled softly, with her hands splayed across his muscular chest. Her eyes fluttered she could feel herself start to doze as a yawn escaped.

Samuel was sweaty and in a moment of intense heat as he moved in and out of her. He continued to move in and out of her hard and fast as the intensity of the orgasm continued to build. He found himself starting to get closer and closer to an orgasm as he looked into her eyes. She was beyond beautiful and he was utterly lost in her. His entire body burned for her with each thrust he made into her. He found himself moaning and whimpering her name again and again as he moved in and out of her. He heard her words and found himself smiling softly at her with each thrust he made into her and as expected it didn't take long for him to come undone for her as he slowly filled her up with his load. He had done this a hundred times and he was still very much enjoying the orgasm he received from her. His eyes rolled to the back of his head as he moaned and whimpered her name before smirking warmly at her. He found himself collapsing next to her as he lay down next to her as he looked into her eyes. He had done this with her many times. It had taken him some time but he was glad to finally be with her in more ways than one. He reached out and gently caressed her cheeks as he looked into her eyes. "You are so beautiful. I can't take my eyes off you. And I don't want to. You are my world. " He confirmed to her finally.

Teacher Debra Rosenquist, works at the Terryville Road Elementary School in the Brookhaven-Comsewogue School District, and was named along with the superintendent, Jennifer J. Quinn, and the principal, Annemarie V. Sciove, in a suit filed on Jan. 23. 

The suit claims the student, who was assigned female at birth and identifies as female, was targeted by her teacher, Rosenquist, throughout the 2021-2022 school year. Rosenquist began to use a male name and pronouns for the student, the suit says. The plaintiff student and parents' anonymity were maintained in the lawsuit. 

"As a result, [the student] became confused as to her gender. Despite knowing about Rosenquist’s conduct…, it took the District, [Superintendent] Quinn, and [Principal] Sciove months to inform [her parents] about it," the suit said. 

TEACHER PRESENTS TO KIDS THAT NINTENDO CHARACTERS HAVE SEXUAL-GENDER IDENTITIES: 'PEACH IS A MASSIVE LESBIAN'

"Rosenquist pursued her own agenda outside the curriculum, which included persuading her 5th-grade students to try ‘being gay’ or being another gender even when they were not. To further her agenda, Rosenquist read and provided her students graphic books about gender and sexuality which were not on the curriculum," the suit said. 

The district admitted in a meeting with the parents "that they had no idea Rosenquist taught from a book about LGBTQ+ individuals that was not part of the curriculum and how detailed the book was about transitioning, surgery, and hormones." One of the books Rosenquist used was "When Aidan Became a Brother," the lawsuit said.

CHRISTIAN TEACHER LOSES JOB AFTER REFUSING TO DECEIVE PARENTS ON KIDS' GENDER TRANSITIONS: 'FROM THE DEVIL'

In the book, Aidan's mother admits she made a mistake misgendering her son, saying, "When you were born, we didn't know you were going to be our son. We made some mistakes, but you helped us fix them."

The parents were supportive of supporting their child discovering their identity, but they did not believe their daughter expressed a desire to change her gender on her own. "[The parents] were incredibly concerned about the well-being of their 9-year-old daughter. They have and will always support [their child] but worried that [she] was being persuaded by Rosenquist to be transgender when she had not expressed any such inclination."

"Debra Rosenquist manipulated a pre-teen female into changing her gender identity when the child did not feel any inclination to do so," the parents' attorney, Debra L. Wabnik, Esq., told Fox News. "The parents did not learn about what Rosenquist was forcing upon their daughter until it was discovered that the child had suicidal ideations."

"The psychological and social damage Rosenquist caused this child and her family was immense. Incredibly, the District still has Rosenquist in the classroom where she can similarly harm other innocent children," Wabnik added. 

NONBINARY TEACHER BOASTS ON CHANGING STUDENTS' GENDERS WITHOUT PARENTS KNOWING: 'THEY NEED PROTECTION'

The 5th-grade girl became so "distressed by Rosenquist’s referring to her as a male that she drew a picture of a girl and referenced suicide," the lawsuit said. In January 2022, the parents were informed that their daughter drew a picture of a girl with the words "I wanna kill myself" and "I feel sad like a lot."

Rosenquist also encouraged her classroom to "try being gay" or "try being a boy (if they were a girl) or girl (if they were a boy)," the lawsuit said. It added that the Brookhaven-Comsewogue School District was aware of her actions, as they were believed to have been reported to the District.

Superintendent Quinn released a statement to Fox News, which said, "After a thorough investigation and consultation with our attorney, action is [being] taken in accordance with applicable laws and collective bargaining agreements. Please be assured that this has been done."

Quinn said she was limited on what she could comment on because it was a matter of pending litigation. 

"However, whenever we receive a complaint regarding any employee, it is immediately investigated to determine whether disciplinary action is appropriate. The Comsewogue School District fosters a caring atmosphere conducive to learning free of any behaviors violative of our goal of dignity for all students. The health, safety and welfare of our students and staff are always the district’s top priority."

Plant Palace pt 5🌿

[There was a time skip from the last chapter]

John and Eddie's relationship had been good and if anything they got closer as John's pregnancy progressed. There were some nights when John couldn’t help but be in pain feeling the rushed growth of the three babies stretching his belly. The maroon sweater and a few other articles of clothes were the only things left that really fit John's growing tummy. John had started to struggle working with such a large amount of weight. And his sensitivity had gone up immensely touch wise and whenever he touched plants they’d sprout out of proportion. Eddie had been more concerned about John and kept saying John should really start staying home. John always insisted that he was alright but after he had a harder time at work and a few rude customers came in they decided it was time to start planning for a visit to John's godparents.

John and Eddie were packing the car for the trip to his parents,it wasn’t super long but they were cautious for the sake of John. Knowing John needed lots of water snacks(sugar) and light,not to mention the weather had gotten colder recently. John adjusted his clothes as he sat down in the front seat,he was embarrassed of the weight he’d gained in his hips and some in his chest. As John did this Eddie got into the car and started the drive,John gave a soft smile at Eddie and rested his hands on his distended belly rubbing it gently. “I’m sorry if they act weird by the way,they are regular humans though”

Eddie was actually excited for the little road trip they were going to have. He was super proud of John and how far he had gotten over the past several weeks. He loved snuggling up to his boyfriend at night and playing with the babies, which he was still waiting for his turn to feel the outward kicks.

“I’m sure they’ll be splendid.” Eddie smiled. “I’m pretty excited to meet your family, know how you grew up or were raised. It could help us take care of the little ones.” An idea popped in his head. “Speaking of the sprouts, have you decided to name them?”

Eddie felt a small chill so he turned on the heater to warm them up a bit. He also planned to stop by a drive through coffee shop to grab some hot cocoa for the road. The older man was sure his boyfriend would love the surprise treat.

John gave an awkward look at first when he mentioned how he grew up and he focused on the second question. “I haven’t yet,I want your help with that if that’s alright?,I’m not sure what the little fruit gummies will look like when they’re here.” He smiled warmly and patted his belly feeling one of them kick. John was pretty excited to see the babies. “ Henry and Quinn are good people they’ll be pretty helpful,but do not listen to them when they say baby names” He laughed softly “not the best judgement with names,we had a cat named Pringle’s” He smiled at the memories,still gently patting his round belly. Nearing the small coffee shop Eddie pulled off the main road and John was a bit confused until he realized this was a surprise stop. His face lit up “Oooo are we getting cocoa” he couldn’t help but excitedly fidget. They were maybe just a bit farther out from his childhood home.

“Of course cocoa.” Eddie smiled, ordering two with extra whipped cream and marshmallows. Sprinkles for John’s. “I might have a few ideas on the baby names, but I’d want to see them first to confirm if they’ll fit.”

Then they took off down the road again. The two enjoyed the scenery, watching as they drove further north towards John’s godparents place. Finally after 6 hours of travel, they arrived just after the sun had set. Eddie could see John be a little nervous about seeing his family after he assumed it was a while. Eddie took his boyfriend’s hand as he turned off the car.

“It’ll be okay. I’m here with you and we can turn around now if you want to leave.”

There were a lot of memories in that house “no no it’s okay...I just don’t know how they’ll react to um “he looked at his tummy and then Eddie “I know they won’t be mad but it’s still awkward” he shrugged and took a deep breath as they got out of the car Eddie helping John down making sure he wouldn’t fall. Eddie grabbed their bags and John grabbed bittys carrier,she let out a soft tired meow waking from her nap. They walked up to the front door of a nice looking house,it was surrounded by large tall trees,there seemed to be no neighbors around for a distance. John hesitantly pressed the doorbell and he heard a shuffle from inside.

The door clicked open to reveal a tall man just a bit shorter than Eddie,he wore glasses and had brown hair and a sweater on his face was slightly scruffy and showed a few signs of graying with a few streaks in his hair. His face lit up brightly when he saw John “My little Johnny!” He said lovingly just before realizing that the small redhead had quite the large tummy covered by his sweater. Another person shorter than John and androgynous looking opened the door more “Oh my..John you’ve gotten fat” they said a bit shocked as they allowed the couple to step in from the cold.

John felt his face get hot with embarrassment “hello to you too Quin”

Henry had pulled John in for a hug trying to be careful with John's tummy “so is this your handsome husband?” He gasped slightly and looked at John with a raised eyebrow “I see you’ve inherited my taste in men John” he said teasingly. John was an embarrassed little mess dealing with his godparents.

Eddie blushed and felt a little bad for John. He wanted to speak up to correct the older man, but he kept his lips tightly closed. Instead he just smiled and helped with the bags. When they greeted the other man, he blushed a little further when he heard the compliment.

The house was lush and cozy, growing into a grandparent’s aesthetic, but also manly. He quite liked the subtle decoration. He stayed close to John as they were shown around the house. He dropped off the bags in their room for the weekend and continued to stay close. Although he knew these people were safe, he couldn’t help but feel protective of John. He offered John the chance to return home, but he was the one who wanted to hide and protect him and the babies.

Once the house tour was over, they all decided to relax in the living room for the evening until they had to go to bed.

It was the next morning and John woke up in the arms of his lover,who he’d found tiredly rubbing his plump tummy in a loving manner. “Morning” John smiled softly and nuzzled his face into Eddie's shoulder inhaling the lovely scent of him. John struggled to sit up with the weight of the babies,he huffed as he slouched in bed. “I can’t wait to meet them,but we should probably tell Henry and Quinn and see if they’ll be able to take care of them” John sat up and struggled to grab the clothes out of his bag on the floor,he wasn’t able to bend down,and had been needing help getting dressed. “I can’t reach it” he sighed, cradling his bulging tummy that rested in his lap while he sat back on the bed. He heard a light knock on the bedroom door and he heard Henry call for them to come to breakfast. Eddie had helped John get dressed and they went to breakfast together sitting down at the table that was covered in pancakes and assortments of fruits. Quinn set down a cup of tea for John and the coffee pot in the middle of the table.

John had proceeded to eat his breakfast and a large amount at that. He decided to speak up “so I’m pregnant..if you couldn’t tell” he cleared his throat glancing or a moment at Eddie still nervous,but he heard Henry squeal with joy and come over to and get on his knees “your having a baby????” He softly poked his tummy. Quinn humpfed and rose an eyebrow at this,it was obvious that Quinn didn’t like John too much.

John gave a soft laugh “three actually” he was shy about it but Henry couldn’t help but smile and place his hands on John's tummy and placed his ear close and lovingly listened. He could hear the shifting of the babies and laughed happily before giving John a big hug and looking at Eddie “congrats your two!” Quinn had started to clean up the table not saying anything

“It might be too dangerous to raise them in the city,there’s a chance that they might look too plant-like..so we were wondering if you could take care of them part time?” Henry looked like he was about to say yes,but Quinn’s voice rang out “No!” John looked startled and Henry whipped his head back to look at his partner.

Eddie didn’t bother to correct Henry’s joy when John brought up asking to help raise them. When Quinn shouted ‘NO!’ It shook them a little. Eddie noticed Quinn wasn’t too pleased to see John and with him being a complete stranger to the two, he could understand a little of the frustration. Clearly there was something here that Eddie was missing.

“I’m not sure of what’s going on between you and John, but I know little to nothing about Abnormals, Abnormal pregnancies, let alone plant children.” Eddie voiced. “I know it sounds so short but I’ve known John for over a year now and we’ve been together for a good four months or so, all he’s doing is asking for help.”

Eddie could see anger boil in Quinn’s eyes. Henry and John became quiet. He looked at all three and sighed. “Could we at least talk about this before making a final decision? If anything, think about John, when he shouldn’t be having stress on him. Both of us are unsure about all of this, the unexpected rock tossed into our short relationship but we’re both trying our best to figure this out. We’re not dumb teenagers who went and got ourselves knocked up. I just happen to be here when it’s brought up. We’re both functioning adults as much as we would love to care for the babies like any other family should when given the opportunity, there’s just that barrier, especially with America having a tight ass about things.” He looked over them all. “I deeply care about John, so just hear us out, please.

John was upset and he moved closer to Eddie for comfort. Henry was distressed about how his partner had reacted,Henry was more than happy to help John but then Quinn spoke again. “We’re not raising anymore abnormals Henry,I don’t know how you pamper him” Quinn raised a hand to point towards John with anger “DO YOU NOT REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS LIKE RAISING HIM” they sighed with anger and shook their head. “Three more!? Continuing his bloodline,you know his parents and his past,another Prince-“

Henry snapped “that is quite enough” John could feel it hard to not cry but he kept calm and looked away at the floor,grabbing into Eddies hand.

“If they find we’re associated with the Prince family,which keep in mind could have happened while we raised him,but that never happened. There’s still places to hide them Quinn” Henry shook his head “I’m sorry about this John” He muttered to John and Eddie,seeing the small pregnant man looking upset.

Quinn continued “this is johns problem were not responsible for him anymore”

John took a shaky breath and tried to pull Eddie away “w-we should get going..it’s a long drive back” he said in the middle of the silence “im..sorry for asking about it”

“What…” Eddie was shocked at what just went down. He was forming more questions than answers. But John was already on the move pushing past them with tears in his eyes to pack the clothes he took out for the night while Eddie quietly gathered Bitty. He didn’t want to say anything but he now understood why John was nervous in the first place about even telling him.

What had John gone through growing up? Was Quinn always this rough on him? What is Quinn’s fault that John was so scared of humans? Where were they going to go now for help? He knew a ticket to Canada wasn’t cheap and to live there was too long a process. If the pregnancy was going how John said, faster and quicker, especially with three, they were pretty much out of time.

John was already 2 months gone into his pregnancy and could have them after the third. Plus with winter approaching, John was starting to lose his energy, another reason why Eddie wanted him to stop working. He was at a loss as he packed the car while John said farewell to Henry. A pit in his stomach formed for John, feeling that this would be the last time he would see the people who helped raise his boyfriend.

The younger man was sniffly and red-eyed by the time they got into the truck, Bitty settled between them. The ride was tense, silent. All Eddie could do was hold his hand. He was sure there was something they could do to solve this problem. But he promised he was going to stick by his boyfriend until the end, even if they were old in age.

“We’ll be okay.” He said, hoping the words would help a little, but knowing how things were, he pit in his stomach never left and wasn’t any time soon.
