#when they updated it for Season 3 (first seen in “3... 2... 1”) it's got a ruby center and a snake or two surrounding it

[garr9988]

Idk if anyone else noticed this (they probably have), but I wonder if they retconned/changed the prop for HG's locket to purposefully call back to the red-eyed Medusa head from "Buried"/Warehouse 2 because it holds HG's happiest place, the memory of her daughter.

wordcount: 1735

Coming back from the lodge felt like stepping back into the real world. While you settled back in London, splitting your days between work,  catching up with friends and Dylan. Lando’s preseason schedule consumed him completely. Between testing, media obligations, and rigorous training, he barely had time to answer texts. Max was the bridge that kept everyone connected, his group chats filled with memes, updates, and occasional calls to check in.

The first race weekend arrived like a jolt of adrenaline, pulling everyone together again. The paddock was buzzing, cameras flashing, engines roaring, and an unmistakable energy in the air.

You didn’t have to look far to spot the papaya orange of McLaren’s setup. Lando’s teammate for the season, Oscar Piastri, stood just outside, chatting with a group of mechanics. He looked calm, but there was a stiffness in his posture that gave away his nerves.

“Hey, Oscar,” you greeted, stopping by. He turned, offering a polite smile.

“Hey,” he replied. “Excited to be back?”

“Definitely. Though I think you’re the one everyone’s excited for.”

Oscar laughed nervously, running a hand through his hair. “No pressure, right?”

“You’ll do great,” you assured him. “you’ve got Lando to show you the ropes.”

At that, Oscar chuckled, glancing toward the garage. “Yeah, he’s… helpful. In his own way.”

“Translation: he’s been teasing you nonstop?”

“Pretty much,” Oscar admitted, grinning now.

Before you could continue, Lando emerged from the garage, spotting you immediately. His face lit up with a wide grin, and he jogged over.

“Well, well, look who’s here!” he said, pulling you into a quick hug, keeping his arms casually around you as the conversation continued.

“I’m here to keep you out of trouble,” you teased, putting your head back, resting it on his shoulder. “How’s it going?”

“Good. I mean, as good as it gets when you’ve been stuck doing PR interviews all morning,” Lando replied, rolling his eyes.

“Don’t let him fool you,” Oscar cut in. “He loves the attention.”

Lando gasped in offense. “Betrayed by my own teammate. Unreal.”

The paddock was as much about racing as it was about the people who made it feel like a second home since the karting days.

“Finally!” Max called out, spreading his arms, walking over. “Do you know how long I’ve been waiting to see my twin sister grace us with her presence?”

“Max,” you said dryly, but pulling him in a tight hug. “It’s been what, a month?”

“One and a half, but who’s counting?” he shot back, pulling you into a tighter hug. 

“Feels like we never left, huh?” he smiled nostalgically.

“Speak for yourself,” you replied with a small laugh. “Some of us don’t get paid to stand around looking cool.”

Max smirked. “Someone’s gotta do it. Besides, I had to keep an eye on Lando during preseason. He’s useless without me.”

“Fewtrell,” Lando said, glaring at Max.

“You ready for qualifying?” you interrupted. 

He nodded, his usual confidence tempered by the quiet intensity in his eyes. “Yeah. It feels good to be back. Preseason was… long.” He hinted at his break-up with Magui.

“Tell me about it,” you said with a small laugh, thinking about how busy he’d been. You had barely seen him outside of a few fleeting texts and FaceTimes over the last couple of months. Max had told you not to bring up the break-up too much, but you felt bad not being there for him a lot.

As if reading your thoughts, Lando added, “It’s good to have everyone here, though. Makes it feel normal again.”

Before you could respond, a familiar voice cut through the air. “Ah, there she is!”

You turned to see Christian Horner striding toward you, his usual confident grin firmly in place. Behind him, a few Red Bull team members hovered, chatting among themselves.

“Our favorite Red Bull athlete’s girlfriend,” Christian said warmly, clapping you on the shoulder. “Dylan’s been singing your praises all winter.”

Your smile froze for a second, but you recovered quickly, glancing around to find Lando and Max watching the interaction with identical expressions of barely concealed amusement.

“Well,” you started, “I’m sure Dylan exaggerates.”

Christian chuckled. “I doubt it. I heard you were quite the good luck charm last season. Don’t be a stranger around the Red Bull garage, alright?”

“Don’t worry, Christian,” Lando chimed in before you could reply. “She’s not a stranger.’’ crossing his arms.

Christian turned to him with a raised eyebrow. “What’s with the hostility? Feeling threatened?”

Lando grinned. “Not at all. It’s just worth mentioning—she was a McLaren fan first, you know.”

You couldn’t help but laugh as Christian shook his head in disappointment. “Well, I suppose no one’s perfect. Don’t let Zak Brown hear that, though.”

Lando smirked, stepping closer. “Zak knows where her loyalties lie. Right?”

“Careful, Norris,” you said, arching an eyebrow. “Don’t test me.”

Christian laughed, clearly enjoying the back-and-forth, but his attention was quickly pulled away by someone calling his name from the Red Bull garage. “Alright, I’ll let you lot get back to it. But seriously, swing by later—Red Bull is where it’s at, your boyfriend knows”

As Christian walked away, you turned back to find Max and Lando watching you with matching smirks.

“What?” you asked, crossing your arms.

“Favorite Red Bull girlfriend,” Max said, mimicking Christian’s voice. “Hadn’t expected my sister to become that kind of girl”

“Yeah, yeah,” Lando said, rolling his eyes. “At least she knows better than to wear a Red Bull cap in the McLaren garage.”

“Don’t tempt me,” you teased, grinning at his exaggerated look of horror.

-

He won the first race. He actually won the first race of the season. He’d been in F1 for six years but since the wins last year it had been different. You all went out, but Max had to head back early, having an early flight tomorrow for an important meeting. “Didn’t expect you were gonna win” he pestered Lando, hiding his disappointment of having to leave. The club was electric, a blur of flashing lights, pounding bass, and a sea of bodies moving in sync. You nursed your drink at the edge of the dance floor, watching Lando with cautious eyes. Max's voice rang in your head: "Keep an eye on him, alright? He’s been... off since the breakup."

At first, you’d expected to be playing crowd control, pulling Lando out of his usual post-race antics. But to your surprise, he wasn’t bouncing from girl to girl or drowning himself in shots. Instead, he stuck mostly to your side, occasionally wandering off to dance or chat, but always returning.

“You’re not going to drink me under the table tonight, are you?” you teased, leaning closer so he could hear you over the music.

Lando grinned, his cheeks flushed from the heat of the club and the alcohol in his system. “You never know.”

Lando was leaning back, his cheeks flushed from the alcohol and the warmth of the room, his shirt slightly unbuttoned.

“What?” he asked, catching you staring.

You shook your head with a small smile. “Nothing.”

Lando gulped down his drink, his gaze dropping for a moment before he spoke again “So... what about Japan?”

The question caught you off guard, and for a second, you froze. It wasn’t like Lando to address these kinds of things so directly, especially not when he was tipsy, but here he was, his eyes locked on yours.

“What about it?” you asked carefully, buying yourself time. You hadn’t actually told anyone yet.

He gave you a look, his brows drawing together slightly. “You know what I mean. Are you... still thinking of going?”

You exhaled slowly, your fingers tracing the rim of your glass. “Actually,” you said, leaning forward a little, “I’m not going to Japan. Not for a long time, at least.”

His eyes widened slightly, the surprise evident in his expression. “Wait, what? Why?”

You couldn’t help but smile at his reaction. “Because I got a bigger promotion. I’m overseeing the Japan project now, which means I’ll still have to go there occasionally, but not for months at a time like we thought.”

The tension in his shoulders visibly eased, and a slow grin spread across his face. “You’re kidding.”

“Nope,” you said, taking a sip of your drink.

His grin widened. “That’s amazing. I mean, for you. Congrats.”

“Thanks,” you said, raising an eyebrow. “You sound a little too excited, though. Think you can contain yourself?”

Lando leaned forward, his grin softening into something more genuine. “Not really, no.”

You laughed, shaking your head. “You’re unbelievable.”

He leaned back again, his smile lingering. “I’m just glad you’re not leaving. That’s all.”

Another song started, and before you knew it, he grabbed your hand and pulled you onto the dance floor. You laughed, shaking your head, but didn’t resist. His energy was infectious, and it wasn’t long before you found yourself matching his rhythm, letting the music and the drinks blur the edges of the night.

As the hours wore on, Lando got bolder. His hands rested on your waist a little longer, his fingers brushing your bare skin. He leaned in to shout something in your ear, his breath warm against your neck. Normally, you’d push him away, crack a joke, or remind him to focus on something else. But tonight, you let it happen, trying to ignore the shivers his touches sent up your spine and down to somewhere else.

His hands slid to your hips, pulling you closer as the music slowed. You felt his forehead rest against yours, and then his lips brushed yours—soft at first, tentative, testing.

“Lando—” you started, pulling back.

“C’mon,” he murmured, his voice low and rough. “Just this once.”

“C’mon, you,” you shot back, trying to laugh it off, but it came out shakier than you intended. “I’m not going to be your rebound kiss. You’re finally free to actually kiss girls at the club.”

His hands tightened slightly, his gaze meeting yours with an intensity that sent a shiver down your spine. “I don’t want to kiss girls at the club,” he said, his voice steady now, the playful edge gone.

For a moment, you were frozen, unsure of how to respond. The weight of his words hung between you, cutting through the haze of alcohol and music.

“Lando…” you started, but he shook his head, stepping back and running a hand through his hair.

“Forget it,” he muttered, “I’m just drunk.”

You didn’t believe him for a second.

"This is how you fall in love" | OP81

parings: Oscar Piastri x Reader.

Summary: Oscar is truly, madly, deeply in love with you.

Now playing: "this is how you fall in love" by Jeremy Zucker & Chelsea Cutler.

Word count: +1,2k

Warnings: I think none just pure fluff. Not a native English speaker so there could be (so many errors). I do what I can. Not proofread.

Authors note: hey I don’t even know if this is good - I really hope it is - but I needed to write about Oscar SO BAD. (Btw is Yale in New York? Forgot to look it up). Update: I changed it. Yale it’s no even near to NYC 🤣 I’m a mess. Don’t forget to comment, like or reblog! And follow me so we can be friends :3 (and drink mate together!)

MASTERLIST

It was a sunny morning in Monaco. The quiet of the city could still be appreciated. You were asleep on the bed you shared with Oscar. It was your first night here since you haven’t seen each for the last time about 1 month or maybe almost 2. Time is a difficult thing to be aware of with his schedule to be honest.

Both of you had really busy lifestyles yet managed to build this relationship. Mostly it was a long distance relationship. He was traveling and working the whole year. And you were a student at Ivy Columbia University in New York City. As students it was difficult to find a gap between your exam and classes that fitted the races. You tried your best to always be there for him. Even if it was through the phone after the race. And for him that was really considerate.

You didn’t even have time to breathe when it was exams season yet you still find time to call and check on him. He knows it’s an obvious thing you’re supposed to do with people you love. But still he really appreciates it.

He was so happy and grateful you were finally together. Because you don’t see each other that often - every moment you spend together it’s so intense and pure magic. You do everything you could think of before saying goodbye again and part ways. It was the hardest part of your relationship. You said goodbye to each other so many times it anxiety breaking. He just never could get enough from you, from being with you. He has never felt this way about anyone and the fact that it’s been 4 years of being side by side it was crazy to him. How he would never get bored of you. You were always so intriguing, unpredictable, witty. You were the opposite when it came to what others could see. But behind close doors in your little magical and full of love world - you two matched each other's crazy perfectly.

Oscar is an introvert and really shy when it comes to interactions with people, always feeling nervous and so polite. You were always loud and could talk even with a wall if you wanted to. Always the life of the party so extroverted. You were the opposite but the same in a way. You would get so shy around him giggling like the teenager you were since you two met. And he could be the best at flirting and teasing around you. You made him feel so comfortable in his own skin and he just got loose and relaxed. Could be the real him with you. And just for you.

In your little beautiful world you wouldn’t stop talking about everything and anything. Joking around and teasing each other just to end up having sex in the living room. The chemistry between you two was unmatched. Behind your four walls he was the most confident man and you were as well. Bringing the best of each other out. Just for the other one. You were sexy, fierce, not afraid of anything. He made you feel even powerful.the way he always uplift you when you needed him the most and the fact that you could be so vulnerable knowing he won’t judge. He never did. He knew the real you and embraced it. His love changed you so much. He is the best thing that ever happened to you. And you were his. Oscar with you was kind of another person. It was him of course but intensified. Open and free. You gave him that space, that safety. And he adored you so much for that. Being himself it’s something he struggles with most of the time. Shying away. But with you by his side he could be the life of the party too.

He loved watching you study so concentrated. He would join you in silence, maybe by reading a book, or preparing your favorite tea in moral support. Or he would just sit in silence admiring you. How the sun would reflect on you and how it could make you shine even more. How perfect you’d look. And how that could make his heart race high speed. He would feel so lucky to have you. The comfort he felt was so big. He would want the time to stop right there and live stuck there forever. With you. Also, he loved the way you showed him so much love. He loved your homemade cakes and pies. You were so good with pastry. It was your inside joke. Because you were so good with him as well. He sometime would join you and try to help just to fail miserably and start a flour fight. The kitchen ended up in a mess but you were giggling and enjoying yourselves. Everything was worth it.

He really loved sharing activities together. Whether it was a paddle match against George and Carmen or Maria Kart battles with Lando. Also you loved hiking together and discovering new places around Monaco where you could escape reality and plan picnic dates. He loved that you got along so well with his friends and family. Since day one it felt natural. Everyone was welcoming of you. He was so nervous about it. But it was perfect because for him you were.

He heard you coming down the stairs just in time for the breakfast he had prepared for you both. You appeared with your hair in a mess and sleepy eyes. His tshirt on and your boxers of lighting mcqueen. You looked so adorable. Squishy. he smiled widely at you. And you returned the smile hugging him tightly.

“Good morning sleeping beauty” he said sweetly, grabbing you in his arms and kissing your temple. He heard you giggle.

“Good morning my Prince Charming. How grateful I am to wake up next to you for the rest of my life” you said teasingly and romantically looking at him. He giggled blushing. A soft pink tone now on his cheeks. You always had that effect on him.

“and how grateful I am to have you in my arms every morning for the rest of my days” he said just like you making you giggle to then plant a soft kiss on your lips. “I love you,” he said, pulling away gently.

“Me too my love” you said softly.

You two took all of the things he had prepared with so much love to the table by the pool. The morning was beautiful and warm. Perfect. He put all of your favorite fruits and prepared your favorite cappuccino as well. He is always on the details. He remembered everything about you. You didn't have to ask - he already knew. He was perfect. Perfectly imperfect. There was no other man like him. You were sure about it. And you felt really lucky he even looked at you. These past few years were everything and more of what you could ever have dreamed as a kid. You always wanted to have your special someone - but you never thought you would find him.

You had your breakfast talking about what you were gonna do for the day.

Maybe this is what it really feels to fall in love.

Peaceful. Comfortable in silence. Not overthinking. Just being you and feeling loved. Feeling seen. Feeling celebrated. Cared for. Being chosen. The one. The bestest of friends. Your shoulder to cry on. Laughing until crying. Hugs and more hugs. Plasire. Deep talk. Vulnerability. Partnership. Support. Admiration. Trust and communication.

Giving a part of you to someone else to carry everywhere they went trusting they will never break it.

Maybe this is how you fall in love.

How you two fell in love every single day.

ROBIN AND Y/N HAVING A CRUSH ON EACH OTHER FOR 5 MINUTES STRAIGHT (DURING PRIDE MONTH AS WELL..)

Clip 1: Robin's Infamous livestream

"Guys I am telling you, I did NOT KNOW the actor- actress- was a woman!" She groans, throwing her head into her hands as a desperate attempt to mask the ever growing blush on her face. The comments were blowing up, all making the same 'omg robin coming out!' jokes. "I did NOT KNOW. I was fully convinced that was a man, a very handsome, feminine man. OKAY?"

Robin looks back down at her phone, the edit still playing. She lets out another groan.

"Seriously, how was I supposed to know?"

user480958230: bro couldve googled

chuuves: robin r u coming out

"I am not coming out! There is nothing to come out of!" She throws a hand to her forehead, eyes wide as she stares at the onslaught of comments "I'm so serious. I'm SO serious."

oneinamillion: u did not deny

"HOLD ON-"

Clip 2: Y/n in THAT Stelle livestream

"...And at some point it's like, it's tiring to argue with her. Like how many times do I have to tell you, I do NOT want to watch Penaconian Idol because I HATE-"

"We get it!" You interrupted Stelle's train of thought. The two of you were sat in the her trailer, both wearing oversized sweatshirts. Today was your day off from shooting season 2 of Dream On, Watchmaker as they filmed Himeko's scenes as Razalina and her backstory. "Stelle has a very deep-rooted hatred for reality TV. It is what it is."

"Have you watched that new singing competition show? No! I hate reality TV!" Stelle fakes a pout as she crosses her arms, but you quickly jump in.

"I HAVE! I have." You clear your throat "I just need to say. I was Robin's first fan. I was there from the START. FROM THE-"

"Dude, when I tell you she has been talking about Robin nonstop." Stelle brings the camera close to her face, trying to muffle your loud ramblings in the background "This loser-"

"SHE'S SO PRETTY!" You screech, throwing one of the cushions from her couch over your face, muffling your even louder screams as you kicked your feet.

"YOU'RE SO ANNOYING!" Stelle screamed back, picking up a stuffed toy and throwing it at you.

"LEAVE CLOCKIE OUT OF THIS!"

"Clockie's too homophobic for you and your fat ass crush!" Stelle flipped you off, and the stream goes silent for a split second as the two of you exchanged panicked glances. Neither of you were openly out (though majority of the fandom had already begun speculating) and you feared that may have been a little too on the nose.

stellarjade3: hello WHAT

clockiehater: clockie got caught in the crossfire lmaoo

sundayonechanceplease: homosexuality mentioned ‼️

"Clockie's always been a bitch!" You managed to recover, hurling the poor Clockie plush back at Stelle.

Clip 3: The 'coming out' interview with Topaz

"The internet has been raving about your performance as Mikhail, but also about something else recently."

"Oh man." You buried your face in your hands "Please not the livestream."

Topaz let out an apologetic bark of laughter.

"The fans are curious! Did you know that Robin had actually said the same about you?"

"I've seen the edits." You made a face at the camera, but you couldn't help the smile that tugged at the corner of your lips "You editors are talented, insanely so. I saw one with Guess by Billie and Charli XCX on TikTok as well."

"Y/n, you're further fuelling the fire." Topaz laughed again, covering her mouth with the interview cards.

"Okay, my bad! My apologies! I thought.." You glanced around. I mean, might as well, right? "I thought people knew I wasn't straight?"

Loud cheering erupted from the audience as Topaz's eyes widened, and you shot an abashed smile at the camera.

"So, y'know. Hit me up, Robin."

Clip 4: Robin Livestream: The Sequel

"So many celebrities are able to come out on their own terms now, it's nice to see how much they support the LGBTQ community." Robin said as she adjusted her phone camera, resting it against her water bottle as she sat on the ground of the training room. "I saw an interview with... y/n. It was very sweet."

robinsswings: oh i just know the shippers r going feral

user405935838: GETTING CRUMBS.. WE ARE BEING FED

girlkisser3000: robin bb the closet is glass

Robin ignored those comments, picking at her shoelaces as she continued to speak.

"Especially nowadays, with such a large platform, people's words can have a massive impact. Knowing that people like her can come out so freely and seeing how positively it has impacted like so many people online, it's just really sweet." She shrugged, looking at the camera again with a smile that can only really be described as smitten. "I admire her very much. I wished more people would speak up like her. It's very brave and very difficult."

y/nism: thanks robin :)

fimmies4ever: WHAT

girlkisser3000: HELLO????

Robin's eyes widened.

"Oh! Oh- hi! You're welcome?"

This clip would get clipped in so many edits. Robin's face flushing pink as she buried her face, bringing her knees up to her chest as she let out a soft squeal.

"I love your shows! Thank you for your support."

Screenshot 4: Proof of following each other on Instagram

Screenshot 5: The video that went viral on Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, you name it.

[At a gay club near the end of pride, someone got a video of Robin near the DJ, very obviously intoxicated, as she danced ton her own o her new song. She then walked up to you, equally intoxicated, and began dancing in a much more... sensual manner. Placing her hand on your waist, shoulders, back, you name it. You looked her up and down, licking your lips as your hips swayed to the beat. Stelle let out a loud holler as you two danced, looking at each other in ways that made others feel like they were invading.]

-

Bonus:

"WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING?"

"HOW MUCH DID YOU HAVE TO DRINK?"

"DID YOU GET HER NUMBER?"

You dropped your head to the table, too hungover to deal with all this. Your cast mates and director had pulled you into an emergency meeting, and frankly you were not in the mood.

"Guys, please-"

"Holy shit, you turned Robin gay."

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, STELLE!"

Nicole Reads A Lot of Fanfiction (and she's gonna share it with you): Week 8

Weeks [1] [2] [3] [4/5/6] [7]

Hello this weeks fic reading brought to you by the fact that I haven't "worked" since 2/18. Anyway.. if you notice a sudden trend in the Sterek fics I'm not sure what to say. I tripped into the "Firefighter Derek Hale" tag and haven't seen the light of day since oops.

Buddie: 14 Sterek: 15

that timelines chat by disasterbuck, Veronae | @disasterbuck | @veronae-buddie (2025•T•32.6K)

On a seemingly ordinary night in 2022, Buck receives a text from what he assumes is a wrong number and goes along with it for lack of anything better to do. But it quickly becomes evident that nothing about this night is ordinary, as he finds himself texting an Eddie Diaz five years in the past, before he's moved to LA and joined the 118. What happens during the next twenty-four hours will change Buck's and Eddie's lives forever. Eddie: like I said, I just wanted to update my phone Eddie: maybe I did something to it 👀 Buck: of course YOU would try to update your phone and end up texting the future 🤣 Eddie: hey! Buck: technology really doesn’t like you, does it? Buck: 😇

Was I even on your way? by rangerdanger (mxgicxltrxgedy) | @call-me-medusa (2025•M•3K)

A soft knock starts on the door. “Buck?” It’s Eddie. Of course it’s Eddie. “Are you feeling okay?” Buck feels like he’s going to throw up. “No." “Can I come in?” Buck closes his eyes. He tries to take another deep breath, trying to remind himself he’s in Eddie’s bathroom, in Eddie’s house, probably the safest place he’s ever been in L.A, and that he’s not in an office trying to talk about a kid’s death. He scoots closer to the toilet, resting his back on the edge of the tub, “Yeah.” - Or, Buck gets reminded of something that happened he'd rather forget.

come ride on me (i mean camaraderie) by heygirltimeformorning | @heygirltimeformorning (2025•E•4.5K)

“Eddie, this isn’t -- casual for me,” Buck says finally, like he’s cutting the wires to a bomb. “I can’t -- I don’t do casual anymore.” He looks up at Eddie, open and bleeding, totally disarmed. He’s the most beautiful thing Eddie’s ever seen. Buck takes a breath, looks down, shakes his head. “I mean,” he says, “I can’t do casual with you.” “Who,” Eddie asks, very quietly, “said anything about casual?”

Cheeseburger in Paradise by Bookworm0303 | @insertlovelyperson (2025•E•20.2K)

“Swingers,” Buck gasped, eyes wide and mouth agape, “Eddie, they’re swingers.” Immediately, Eddie blanked, fork clattering against his dish as he ran through every possible way he could try to deny it. More or less recovered, he eventually shook his head and laughed, “What? No. No, they’re not.” “Yes,” the other gritted out, frantically gesturing back at the two couples at the bar, “they are.” Turning in his seat, Eddie watched as the pair of husbands quite literally swapped wives, getting rather cozy with their new partner for the evening. And... ok, damn. Sure. Clearing his throat as he turned back around, he was willing to make a partial concession, “Ok. Fine. Maybe those four are, but—” That’s when Buck got to pointing: “And them. And them. And definitely them.” Each assessment more damning than the last. --- or Eddie plans a vacation for the first (and likely last) time in his life.

Second date update by kyote_ugly | @kyoteugly (2025•T•1.9K)

The story takes place between the 1st and 2nd seasons, different first meeting. Buck's friends convince him to go on a blind date to get over Abby, and Eddie, well, Eddie is training to be a firefighter - he's divorced, new in town, and of course his friend from the academy wants to help him navigate the LA dating scene. And you, my dear reader, you're sitting in traffic on your way to work, listening to the radio...

The Blondie Theory by facewithoutheart | @facewithoutheart (2025•T•5.7K)

Grace hates running into people from high school. But she always kind of wondered about Eddie Diaz. So when Eddie moves back to El Paso, Grace finally gets a chance to prove a theory, make a new friend, meet her long distance girlfriend, and end a ship war. AKA 5 times Grace Matthews runs into her former classmate, Eddie Diaz, and 1 time she runs into one of those two nurses, Evan Buckley.

do you believe in magic? by Tizniz | @tizniz (2025•GA•5.6K)

Buck’s magic has been infatuated with Eddie since the moment Buck laid eyes on the man. It didn’t matter that Buck himself had less than pleasant feelings towards Eddie, his magic decided that Eddie was the love of its life and it was going to do anything it could to be near him. This went against Buck’s own feelings because of the whole not liking Eddie for exactly two days and also because Buck has always been told to keep his magic a secret.

reeling with the feeling by dykeries | @buddiesbian (2025•E•3.7K)

“We are not calling 911.” Eddie groans into Buck’s shoulder. “I don’t want to either. But I think we have to.” Buck shakes his head and then regrets it. He’s like, eighty percent sure there’s a bleeding cut on the back of his head and he’s gotten blood on the shower tile. “We’ll figure something else out.” “Like what?” Eddie tries to shift his weight off Buck again and immediately flops back down. “Ugh.” “I don’t know.

Eddie and the bee-tee-dubs by telldebatz | @singitforthegirls (2025•GA•1.6K)

Eddie didn't expect this once he got back from Texas with Chris, but somehow, he's not that surprised either. Buck acquires a cat in Eddie's absence, which is fine, but it shares Eddie's name, and that might become a problem. (It's a short, cute fic about Buddie and a cat. Enjoy.)

Inside Keeps Building by Minalover | @minalover (2024•E•34.4K)

"“My luggage got delayed coming in from Phoenix but it should be in tomorrow.” Eddie is, of course, not fine. He hasn’t been fine since he left for El Paso yesterday. He suspects he wasn’t fine long before that, but he was able to keep it beaten back with a stick. Not so much anymore. “That sucks.” They’ve been different since Eddie made the decision to move to El Paso a few weeks back. He could have sworn Buck was okay. He was okay in the kitchen that day, when he flipped the iPad over and unearthed Eddie’s tender familial burns. He was okay on the couch, the couch Eddie had to leave behind, the couch he mourns for reasons too complicated to think about. He was okay on the virtual call with the real estate agent. He was okay. They were okay. “Yeah, it really does. All of my underwear was in that luggage.” They don’t feel okay." or: Eddie follows Christopher to El Paso or or: the sexting fic I promised myself

forever is the sweetest con by becausebuckley | @becausebuckley (2025•E•37.9K)

“Buck,” Eddie says, a small smile curving at the edge of his mouth, “wanna get married? For our honeymoon, we’ll scam your parents out of some money and make Ravi’s accountant do our taxes.” “Well,” Buck says drily, “that sounds like an offer I can’t refuse.” “I’m sorry,” Eddie says, in his very best – meaning very bad – impression of Buck when he gets his hands on a clipboard. “What was that?” “Yes, Eddie,” Buck says, putting on an air of suffering despite the butterflies making themselves at home in his stomach. Man, whoever Eddie ends up proposing to for realsies is gonna be so lucky. “I’ll marry you.” or: buck is invited to a family reunion and realises that there's a good chunk of money waiting for him. there’s one issue, though: he has to be married to claim it, and right now, he’s painfully single. it’s a good thing he has such a great best friend in eddie, right?

Buck snaps, slightly breathless. At least he's not choking. "Come on, Dom, stop fucking around," Mitchell agrees, rolling his eyes at the display. "We're on the clock, here." But Dom hasn't taken his gaze off of Eddie, and vice versa. His smirk grows. "You'll thank me for this one day," he says, and before anyone can move, he sinks his teeth into Buck's neck.

Champagne Problems by fairytalesandfolklore | @fairytales-and-folklore (2021•T•1.7K)

Stiles has got champagne problems. No, really. He's had way too many mimosas. A game of tipsy truth or dare at a New Year's Eve pack party ends with Stiles accidentally blurting out that he's in love with Derek…right in front of the sourwolf himself.

"Alright, fine," Erica simpers. "I dare you to tell us who you've got a crush on." "Because we all know there's someone," Lydia insists, giving him a pointed look. "Someone you've clearly been pining after for years now," Danny agrees. "So just come clean, Stilinski. Tell us who it is." Stiles, who is absolutely smashed off his ass at this point in the game, rolls his eyes so hard he sees stars. "Nice try, assholes," he teases with a sing-song lilt and a self-satisfied smile. "But there's no way in hell I'm ever gonna tell you I'm in love with Derek, so you can just—" Somewhere in the distance, a champagne flute shatters, and suddenly, Derek is just there, looming in the distance, eyebrows arched so high they practically straddle his hairline.

The Faded Line by GrimReaperlover11 (2022•T•31K)

Stiles sometimes hated being an omega, always being treated like the low man on the totem pole. His ideology is only proven to be correct one night on his way home from a night out with Scott when an alpha tries to take advantage of him. however before he can be defiled, he finds a savior in another alpha, one that has his omega howling with want. when his hero takes him home and cares for him, Stiles doesn't want him to leave. Maybe he won't.

I know there weren't many books like this when I was a kid, but maybe things would’ve been different if there had been.” Stiles shrugged. Then he paused, wetting his lips as he tried to control his breathing. “Do…you believe in soulmates?”

A drag queen and a cop walk into an apartment building... by DropsOfAddiction (2020•E•16.4K)

Stiles tries not to whimper as Derek gets closer. Stiles had forgotten just how intense space invader Derek could be. If Derek was boner inducing when Stiles knew him before, equal parts terrifying and sexy, back at the age of twenty four, well... it’s not a patch on what thirty year old Derek’s got going for him. Derek’s still got a stupid leather jacket and his black hair is slightly longer than Stiles remembers. The stubble is longer too, not quite a beard but still neatly shaped in a way that makes his cheekbones stand out. And the eyes, shit, the eyes. He’s staring at Stiles with this stormy mix of grey, blue and about a thousand other colours thrown in and Stiles couldn’t break eye contact if he wanted to. Derek fucking Hale, ladies and gentlemen.

[notscarsafe]

OKAY SO what with the TWO new Hermits implied by the updated banner I will say that, though the Skizz truthers have me convinced, I now have room to do my own crazy red string monologue and throw my hat in for my choice

1) Mythical J. Sausage (the J is silent) is a multitalented S-tier builder that absolutely deserves to be shoulder to shoulder with the Hermits. The man does buildings, interiors, terraforming, custom trees, and he does them SO WELL.

2) The production values!!! Beautiful replay mod sequences with shifting camera perspectives, shaders, music that sets the tone for each segment that's different from series to series. He already has more than a million followers on YouTube and for good reason!!

3) He has been SO consistent lately. He started a hardcore world about three months ago (about the time you might expect the Hermits to finalize their s10 choices maybe...???) and already has 15 episodes and hasn't gotten involved in any other big content. (He did just start playing a little of the BCG server but from what I understand that's super casual /copium copium copium).

4) That hardcore world is conveniently about to reach a good "pause" point. He started his world on a cherry blossom biome island that he's filled with a medieval village and starter farms, he's said it's almost full and what's left is the castle. I'm guessing the new season will start the first week of February, so if Sausage puts out a video this week building out that Castle and finishing that island it will be MIGHTY CONVENIENT TIMING.

5) This man can GRIND. His Hardcore world hasn't even been going half a year and he's built... So much??? Magnificent! And when he was on the Hermitcraft server he did the Razorcrest for scar AND the player head baby yoda/stormtrooper merch AND the noteblock themesong AND still built in the xmas village and other "diamond of peace" and so many other shenanigans. Did the man even sleep? He can grind with the best of them.

6) He can do redstone, too! Maybe not unique designs, I honestly don't know, but he builds farms for build materials no problem.

7) The DRAMA this man loves his improv and his backstory and trauma lore! For every series he does! Can you imagine if he gets to interact with Ren for an extended period of time, what that would do to them, to us?? Give Martyn a run for his money!!

8) Which brings me to my next point, which is that Sausage is already One of The Gang, because he's been in series with so many of the Hermits already! Empires and the crossover, obviously, but also Pirates with Cleo and Origins with Scar, and he's even done MCC! Joel is the only other player with the same depth of different series but there are other people truthing him already.

9) The EPIC BROMANCE with Pearl. My god the devotion of this man to his sunflower goddess bestie. I would try to do ot justice but y'all have seen floweroflaurelins work, you already know.

10) He's already a PG streamer but with HILARIOUSLY PG-13 tendencies. Imagine him and Cleo cracking each other up at an HHH stream, *grips your shoulders* IMAGINE IT.

11) Sausage comes with his own mascot in the form of interdimensional dog extraordinaire Bubbles, but he's also just an animal lover on general. Mans drinks his "I love Jellie" juice and had her in his world even before the sad news of her loss.

12) Diversity win! No one should be hired just for their gender, race, sexuality etc etc unless it's truly necessary to the job, but we were all happy when more women got added to the server in s8 and I know a lot of people would be happy to see some ethnic diversity added, too.

... That bulletin board had a lot more pins in it than I thought it did but anyway MYTHICALSAUSAGE TRUTHERS/ALL OTHER TRUTHERS RISE UP SPEAK YOUR TRUTH! we'll only get to wildly speculate for a few weeks so we might as well make it everyone else's problem ENJOY IT TO THE FULLEST!!

Helluva Boss Season 3 Predictions

So now that I've spent the past week or so recovering from Sinsmas, I'd like to take some time to think about what's coming in the next season. Strap in: This post got WAY longer than anticipated. Spoiler warning for absolutely everything.

We are going to have ample time to concoct theories since Vivzie already confirmed that there will be a considerable wait for the new season. However, she did also confirm that we will be getting more shorts to hold us over and also that the extended wait time is in order to facilitate a more regular update schedule once season 3 premiers. We haven't gotten any further information on what that schedule might look like but I'm hoping for weekly releases instead of monthly so, you know, fingers crossed.

While season 2 was incredibly heavy on the Stolitz arc, Vivzie has stated that season 3 will be more focused on exploring some of the other characters. I'm sure Stolitz isn't going to disappear and that some of the episodes will still be focused on the progression of their relationship (I've seen some people saying that the Stolitz arc is over and like...respectfully...no? They're not even officially together? They have so much ground left to cover) but it would be nice to flesh out the rest of the characters in this universe.

One of the big plot points will of course be Millie's pregnancy. Now let me just say now, I'm already so incredibly sick of the "Millie cheated" theory. As if that's the only reason that a woman could be nervous about an unplanned pregnancy. Be so fucking for real. As for how I think they'll handle it, I think there could be some interesting juxtaposition happening between Stolas losing his child and the M&Ms gaining theirs. Millie is clearly very anxious about the pregnancy and I would personally love if there was an episode devoted to her trying to find ways to talk to Moxxie or Blitz about it but never quite finding the words, and in the end it winds up being Stolas who is able to help her. Out of all of IMP, he's the only one who has not only raised a baby, but did so while he was very young and probably very apprehensive about it. For all that he loves his daughter, Octavia was very much conceived out of obligation rather than either he or Stella feeling ready to bring a child into the world and I just think that it could be a good bonding moment for the two of them.

Right now IMP very much feels like the gang + Stolas, and I desperately need there to be more time devoted to Stolas getting to know the rest of IMP better. I think bonding with Millie could be an excellent first step (Step 2: Him and Moxxie bond over musical theater. Millie and Blitz are always trying to pawn Moxxie off on each other when it comes to watching musicals with him and I think it would be really great if he could have a musical theater bestie who actually enjoys them. And lets be real- There's no way you can watch Stolas's entire little musical production in Mastermind and come out thinking that that dramatic little fuck wouldn't love a good musical)

Speaking of Octavia, I would love to explore her character more. I have a lot of thoughts and opinions on her that I will probably explore in another post but while she does frustrate me, I do love her. Additionally, I'm very interested in what Stella and Andrealphus have planned now. They succeeded in getting Stolas out of the picture, his titles have passed to Andrealphus until Octavia is of age, but that has to be soon, right? Octavia was 17 in season 1 and while I'm not sure how much time has passed she has to be coming up on 18. 18 was the age that Loona was going to age out of the foster system so it's apparently the age of majority in Hell, the same as on Earth, so that would be the age that she would inherit her father's titles and estate. What are their plans for her then?

I think it's very possible that they will continue with their plan to have Stolas killed now that they no longer need him. Would they go as far as to try and kill Octavia too? What would happen if they did? What is the line of succession? Octavia clearly doesn't have any children so would Andrealphus get to keep everything?

Stolas and Stella were engaged as children, but so far we haven't seen anything about an arranged marriage for Octavia. If Stolas had to marry in order to secure a "precautionary heir", wouldn't Octavia need to do the same now that she has inherited everything? I wonder if we will get either a birthday episode (Octavia dealing with having her 18th birthday without her father- Stolas dealing with missing his daughter's 18th birthday) or an arranged marriage plotline (Maybe Stella announces her daughter's engagement on her 18th birthday?)

This next theory is really out there but bear with me here and remember that they're strongly based on European royalty: What if Andrealphus tries to marry Octavia to secure the title for him and his sister.

Overall, I think an arranged marriage arc could really do a lot for Octavia's character in regard to her perspective on Stolas. Right now she only really views Stolas as her father, not as person in his own right, independent of his relationship to her. She only sees the ways in which he's failed her and not any of his own personal struggles. Furthermore, she had the quote from Sinsmas, 'You don't love mother and you don't love me- You love him." Which seems to imply that she thought her parents loved each other??? Stolas has mentioned on several occasions that he did his best to give her a normal life and I wonder if that included hiding the fact that he and Stella hated each other. It leads me to believe that maybe she thinks that they were happily in love until he met Blitz and then that was the catalyst for their marriage falling apart instead of their marriage having always been rotten at the core.

But what does that have to do with Octavia having an arranged marriage? Well I could see Octavia being very against it and Stella saying something like "Oh please, I had an arranged marriage when I was your age" and Octavia discovering the truth of the matter. She expressed surprise that her parents didn't marry for love and then Stella is like "Me? Love Stolas? Don't be ridiculous."

I mean naturally the wedding never happens- Stolas and IMP are able to interfere and save her from going through with it and maybe in the process repair her relationship with Stolas. Maybe they could steal her away and if she's staying with them she might be able to see all of the ways in which Blitz isn't some evil father-stealer like she's imagined him being. It sets it up for her to see them being soft with each other and maybe compare it to her memories of her parents and how they were never affectionate like that. Maybe Stolas will do something dorky that Stella would usually mock him for but instead Blitz will just roll his eyes and think it's cute and they might laugh about it together. And then Blitz would definitely make her smiley face pancakes in the morning (because he's nothing if not a girl-dad) and I could definitely see him remembering that one time in Sinsmas that Stolas mentioned that rats were Octavia's favorite snack and being sure to hunt some down for her.

Other unrelated small things I would like to see:

Blitz gets Stolas a little plant for the apartment.

Blitz gets some glow in the dark stars for the ceiling.

I'd love to explore Loona's character some more. How old was she when she went into foster care? Why was she there? Was she surrendered as a baby? Was she taken by whatever passes as CPS in Hell? Did she have any other foster families before Blitz? Why didn't they work out? Was she returned for behavioral issues or something? What's the story there? We got a little bit in Seeing Stars but not nearly enough and I would love to flesh out her backstory.

What about Loona's love life? She clearly had a crush on Vortex in season 1 and was disappointed to find out that not only did he already have a girlfriend but that that girlfriend was Bee- one of the seven deadly sins. Not someone she could compete with. Now me personally? I think that Bee has 2 hands and is the god of gluttony- she could definitely handle a 3-way polyamorous relationship. But that's just me. I don't actually have any sort of canon evidence to back that theory up, it's just more like a fun head canon: Let Loona Have a Boyfriend AND a Girlfriend 2025. (But if they introduce a new love interest for her? That's fine too. I just want my girl to be happy)

Finally, there has to be more about Barbie in season 3. Now I'm not super in love with her character like some of y'all are (This fandom has the unique ability to see a character with 30 seconds of screen time and LATCH ON like no one's business. See: Vasago) but she's an important part of Blitz's past. I think that a Barbie episode could be a good opportunity for Stolas (And Millie? And Moxxie? And Loona even? How much does IMP even know about Blitz's past???) to learn more about Blitz's past and trauma while also fleshing Barbie out as a character.

I feel that there are 3 major relationships that Blitz has to resolve in one way or another before he can properly heal from the events of the fire: Fizz, Barbie, and Cash. Him and Fizz have worked through their issues and are back on good terms and I feel like Barbie is next since we have actually met her in present day. Alternatively, we have no clue what Cash has been up to since the fire or even where he is now which leads me to believe that Blitz will probably be confronting him last, if at all.

That's all I've got so far but please, if you've read this far, drop a comment or a reblog with you own thoughts and opinions. Tell me what you think of my theories and share your own in return! We've got a long wait until the next season so we might as well scream about it together :)

qatar gp 2024: penalties and safety cars galore indeed. here is an attempted compilation of all the notable incidents and penalties (+ penalty points) that fia threw around like free cookies

im attempting this in a chronological order following the issuance of the penalties but. they were so many things happening so whatever we ball. and as always thank you my fantastic f1 mother @missed-apexes

so first of all. we all know of the max one position grid penalty (+1 pp) but of course, he beautifully overtook george right off in turn 1! love that for him

first crash, esteban, franco, and nico collision. franco and esteban were out, nico slightly damaged (?)

first penalty issued in the race: alex & lance collision. stroll retires eventually, while getting a 10s penalty. he might serve this next race?

lewis hamilton had a false start. 5s penalty.

bottas and lawson near-collision(?). apparently liam understeered/spun and bottas had to go wide to avoid. liam gets 10s penalty (+2 pp).

insert zhou's very magnificent overtaking yuki!

george was consistently on p2 and pitted but was fucked over by his 7s pit stop. rest in rip.

alex's wing mirror fell on the track. the shot of the singular mirror lying there on the track was comical but the delay of sc or any actions taken about it is insane even the commentators were confused

bottas drove over the wing mirror, got damage. the debris fluttered all over the track and caused puncture to lewis and sainz.

safety car for the debris was finally deployed 4 LAPS LATE (wtf race control)

perez lost drive, dropped to the last from what i remember was p5-6, and retired. not sure if this was during or after the safety car ended.

nico hulkenberg also out. his tyres just. gave out and he spun. at this point survival is optional in the qatar gp.

another safety car here. perez riding the scooter can be seen

lando not lifting during double waved yellow flags on the straights (this happened before the sc was deployed for the debris). 10s stop/go penalty (+3 pp). this was a massive gamechanger for the podium as he was stable on p2. and a stop/go specifically... well, as a mclaren hater i rejoiced. (3 penalty points is crazy though)

another collision for alex, with k-mag this time. 10s penalty (+2 pp) for alex.

lewis apparently did a lil speeding in the pitlane. drive-through penalty.

lewis was told to retire the car but ignored it.

george did a sc infringement (which i did not see so im not sure what exactly happened). a fia update stated his car was more than 20 car lengths behind, when it is supposed to be 10. 5s penalty (+1 pp).

DRIVER OF THE DAY: ZHOU GUANYU (P8) im so happy for him. literally carried kick's points this season (4 points).

podium result: max p1, charles p2, oscar p3, and it's insane charles did all that without drinking because his drinking system broke. forza ferrari.

charles is now only 8 points behind norris in the wdc!

birth of gax/rustappen beef ;

outside race bonus: max being extremely pissed at george, saying he's lost all respect for him and can't stand him because "he's always acting polite in front of cameras but inside there he's a completely different person." gax beef in 2024... interesting.

edit: addition on the last point as requested by oomf, in the press conference max stated that george was trying all he can to screw max over and pushing for the penalty. max kept trying to explain he has no motives to screw other cars over, and he's going slow following other cars' slow laps, but it felt like talking to a wall. basically, max called george a fake two-faced bitch (he didn't say this but you know what i mean) and lost all respect to him.

funny to note that this is max's 63rd win.

it is also worth noting that before the race, max had told george on the drivers parade holding room, something along the lines of "hope you and your fia mates are happy with what you've done." and according to ted the quote was actually much ruder. POP OFF

max has unfollowed george on instagram nevermind folks apparently max never followed him

stats summary ;

5 dnfs

8 penalties (incl. max's)

3 safety cars

4 collisions

9 penalty points issued (incl. max's)

1 beef

fia really said fuck your british bias allegations and went on rage mode. what the hell lmao. also shoutout to williams mechanics. you all deserve so much bonuses.

(will update more once fia docs start rolling in).

[missingpolinseason]

Despite the claims that there's no deleted Polin scenes in season 3, What a Barb! Podcast just found some more scenes that didn't make the final cut.

The first one I want to talk about is Colin's dream. Aparently, in the original script, Dream!Colin wants to continue 'the lessons' and says he "still has so much to teach her", to wich Dream!Pen replys "teach me". The insert ends with Colin saying: "Don't worry, it's only us. It was always us". Now, how on earth did they though that it was okay to delete a scene in wich Colin admits to himself it was always them?

That scene being deleted makes me wonder how was the original Willow Tree scene - as that scene is about ending the lessons, and we know it was a reshot because of the wig. Was it a scene to mirror the dream sequence? Because the dream reveals he wanted to continue their lessons and "teach" and "experience so many things with her" but he "gives up" because he thinks she doesn't want it. Like, it would make so much sense with his insecurity to destroy the friendiship. Omg. Not to mention it embodies one of my favorite things about the book wich is Colin being in love with Pen even before realising it.

Then we have the second scene, wich is actually a line cut out of their first kiss. In this version, Colin claims that (the kiss) would ruin her, but she says she's 'already ruined'. And as much as I have no complain about their first kiss - it is my absolute favorite scene -, in this moment Penelope thinks she has nothing else to loose. That she will never married and will spend all her life trapped in her mother's house. That's wath brings her to ask for the only thing she ever wanted: a kiss from Colin. She's a romantic after all. But Colin doesn't see her as a 'ruinned woman' and he doesn't want to cross the line even though no one would known.

In fact, in the book, her kiss request is kind off prompted by Colin saying that "Suppose I told everyone that I have seduced you. You would be ruined forever. It wouldn't matter that we had never even kiss. That, my dear Penelope, is the power of the word". And that quote/line of thinking matches so well the persona who sees Whistledown as an enemy that the show build for Colin...

Last, but not least, a scene in episode 7. The night before their marriage. A prostitute aproches Colin but he declines her services. This not only shows the truth that he'd never cheat on Pen but also that he knows they will be well and leave happily ever after.

They chosen to cute this scenes. Rumour is they chosen to pick a version of the modiste scene in wich Colin sends Pen home alone in the middle of the night when there's alleged a version of this scene when he goes home with her - not to mention the scene of them in bed talking about Colin's write. How many more Polin scenes we may have lost?

UPDATE || it came to my attention that the way I wrote this post may have been confusing so let me clarify: there were 4 alleged deleted scenes known and mentioned in the petition (2 being a "short-cut" of scenes we've seen, and 1 a different version of the modiste scene). The news found in the scripts are a deleted scene; a huge part of Colin's dream and a line in their first kiss. What I want you to take from this post is that there were changes and cuts. They deleted moments that would have been important and sugnificant to Polin's story. And keep in mind that is only the cuts we got to know.

*The deleted scenes/scripts were courtesy of the Writers Guild Foundation Shavelson-Webb Library (accordinding to What a Barb! posdcast).

** First scene is loosely quoted as I saw the information in portuguese and translated back to english.

If you have more information or any corrections, feel free to let me know and I will update the content. ------ ✨ EXTRA INFO ✨ ------ 🔹 I didn't consider the Helluva Boss pilot since it was de-canonized. 🔹 25 years before the episode "Ozzie's," Blitz and Stolas met. 10 years later, the fire occurred where Fizz lost his limbs, and Blitz's mother died. 5 years after that, Fizz won Mammon's competition, becoming the face of his new brand, and 10 years later, Fizz quit. 🔹 Blitz created his team to work as assassins in Hell. After a while, he got the book and rented the office to start working by killing humans. 🔹 Loona had one month left before turning 18 when she was adopted by Blitz. During season 1, she is confirmed to be 22 years old by Vivzie. 🔹 Blitz adopted Loona before meeting Moxxie. Both worked as hitmen, and Millie sabotaged one of their jobs, probably killing the target. Due to her skills, Blitz hired her to join the team. 🔹 The M&M wedding must occur just before the move to the new place, as Millie still has long hair when she gets married, and when they arrive at the office, her hair is short. Also, in the Ozzie’s episode, they celebrate their 1st wedding anniversary. 🔹 As we know, each ring seems to contain different cities or towns. In the Pride Ring, we have seen two: "Pentagram City," where Hazbin Hotel takes place, and "IMP City," where the Helluva Boss office is located. Unlike the main city (Pentagram), where most sinners reside, IMP City does not seem to show the same destruction after the Extermination, EVEN though we know sinners also live there. Therefore, the angels should focus only on the main city because there are more people to kill, and they wouldn't need to "play hide and seek" with the few sinners living in IMP City, as we know they aren't allowed to kill those born in Hell. Why don't sinners hide in other cities during the Extermination if it doesn't seem like anything stops them? 🤔 NO IDEA. I don't think the creator thought of a reason. There's literally no reason to stay in Pentagram City on Extermination day if you can run to another place, but oh well.

HELLUVA BOSS - SEASON 1

EPISODE 1 - JANUARY. (Winter).

🔴 Mrs. Mayberry died on the morning of January 8. 🔴 The teacher came to request the assassination of Martha a few days after she died, after she managed to recover from the hospital and become a "local hero." 🔴 Mrs. Mayberry must have been one of the first sinner clients (if not the first) of the I.M.P. company. 🔴 Blitz mentions that electric eels were new, and we know he bought them along with the office rental, so not much time has passed since they started killing humans.

EPISODE 2 - NO SPECIFIC DATE. (Late January, February, or early March) (Winter).

🟢 No specific date or time references, however, the next episode takes place in March-April due to the spring season, so if we go by months, it likely happens in February. 🟢 This episode is set after the Hazbin Hotel pilot (we don't know how much later). 🟢 Just as Loo Loo Land is a "copy" of Lu Lu World (Lucifer Morningstar), Robo-Fizz in his song imitates Charlie Morningstar when she sings "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow" in the interview with Katie Killjoy. Following the line of imitating/stealing/replicating the royal family.

EPISODE 3 - MARCH or APRIL. (Spring).

🟣 "Spring break" in the U.S. usually lasts 1 week around March or April. 🟣 The succubi and incubi under Asmodeus' orders seem to be the only ones who can legally travel to the human realm, as long as they don't cause major accidents. For example, they seemed worried when Millie mentioned that they could accuse Verosika and her group of releasing a giant monster in the human realm. 🟣 After the crystal was given to Blitz in the Full Moon episode, it was under Asmodeus' supervision, but Hell doesn't seem to have a problem with them going to kill humans. So maybe, as long as they deal with isolated issues that don't reveal the demon world (like the giant fish), there is no problem with killing humans or causing other chaotic situations.

⚠️ EPISODE 5 - SEPTEMBER. (Autumn) (Reference to Hazbin Hotel).

🟠 The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the autumn equinox, usually occurring at the end of September or, on rare occasions, in October. 🟠 Due to the order in which this episode was released, a chronological inconsistency is created based on the events in episode 4, so this episode should go BEFORE episode 4 to fix the timeline. 🟠 Moxxie discovers that Straker has: “A genuine Carmine crafted blessing tipped rifle.” And although the Spanish dub uses the word "fossil" as if it were old, that's not what is said in the original version, so I won't consider it. 🔸 The angelic weapons made by Carmilla Carmine were already being distributed before the angel's assassination; however, it was a recent event after the opening of Hazbin Hotel that they realized they could be used against angels and not just demons.

🔸 THEORY: The reason why they are possibly hard to obtain is that they must have been banned for the rest of Hell. Sinners are doing their thing, they can kill each other as much as they want, but if people born from Hell, who can go to other rings, get these types of weapons capable of killing royalty, it's dangerous. So, although they might be "more accessible" to sinners, for those born in Hell, they must be illegal or harder to acquire. Also, the implications of someone possessing this kind of weapon.

⚠️ EPISODE 4.- POSSIBLE CHRONOLOGICAL ERROR. November - December. (Autumn).

🟡 This episode features Christmas discounts, and Santa is receiving children's requests, so we should be set in November or December (before the 25th). HOWEVER, the next episode is set in September, which means this episode should take place in September or a few months earlier, something that doesn't make sense because of the Christmas decorations (maybe July or August? It's very strange). If we remove the decorations, the episode is in order, but because they are present, I can only see this as a continuity error or an episode that should have aired later. 🟡 Just like in Hell, Heaven seems to have cities and towns, showing us "Cherub Town" and a city in the distance (we don’t know if it’s the main one shown in Hazbin Hotel or another).

🟡 Fun fact/continuity error? With the Sinsmas episode, we know that the IMPs didn’t seem to know that humans celebrated a similar holiday to theirs (not the same purpose, but the decorations are the same/similar). However, in this episode, they dress in Christmas attire, something they completely forget or ignore in episode 12 of season 2, confusing our celebration of "Sinsmas," although Moxxie mentions it doesn’t seem to be the same.

EPISODE 6.- NO DATE. (Autumn-Winter).

🟢 Assuming that episode 4 should come after episode 5 due to the Christmas decorations, this episode should occur in November or early December. 🟢 The D.H.O.R.K.S. agents have the first sighting of a demon on camera, which is Blitz excitedly watching some horses in the human realm. THEORY: I’m sure that before even getting the office, the first thing Blitz did after getting the book was go to see them. xD

EPISODE 7.- DAYS CLOSE TO NEW YEAR...? (Winter) (Reference to Hazbin Hotel).

🔵 M&M should have gotten married at the end of December or the beginning of January. The reason is that Millie got married with long hair, and when Blitz rented the office and got the eels, she already had it short. Then, days later (after January 8th), the teacher ordered Martha’s assassination, where they lost the recently bought eels because of Moxxie. To fulfill this 1st anniversary, it must be set in the days close to New Year's. If it were set at a different time, then this episode, like episode 4, would be chronologically misplaced (including episode 8 and episode 1 of season 2). 🔵 In the Lust ring, we can see a poster of Angel Dust, as it doesn’t appear to be old or torn. At this point in Hazbin Hotel, he is probably still working and being a famous pornstar. (Meaning, he hasn’t been freed from Valentino). 🔵 Blitz has a newspaper where an image of an Exterminator Angel appears (it seems to be Lute, judging by the horns), which tells us a few things. THEORIES: 🔹 We’re at a point where exterminations are still happening (if episode 2 of HB happens after the Hazbin Hotel pilot, it could refer to the extermination brought forward by 6 months, although I doubt this, since if we place episode 2 in March, for 6 months this announcement would be in September, not December). 🔹 Despite Sir Pentious and the confirmation that sinners can be redeemed, exterminations are still happening. 🔹 Exterminations stopped, but Lute, who seeks revenge, did something that needed to be covered by the media. 🔵 At the end of the episode, on Blitz’s phone, we can see all the apps related to the seven deadly sins (including Lucifer), Sinstagram, and "Voxflix" (Vox).

EPISODE 8.- EARLY MORNING AFTER THE PREVIOUS EPISODE. (Winter).

🟠 It starts a little earlier than Blitz arriving home in the early morning. Loona doesn’t stay long before calling Blitz. 🟠 There is another reference to "Voxflix" (Vox) on the shirt of Blitz’s friend/acquaintance, so at this point, the TV-Head company still seems to be active. (I mention this because something bad might happen to it in season 2 of Hazbin Hotel).

HELLUVA BOSS - SEASON 2.

EPISODE 1.- FLASHBACK AND EARLY MORNING OF THE PREVIOUS EPISODE. (Winter).

🟣 The episode starts 25 years in the past with a flashback of when Blitz and Stolas first met. But it ends in the early morning of the previous episodes. (10 years later, the fire happens, 5 years later Fizz wins Mammon's competition, and 10 years later Fizz resigns). 🟣 Although it may be a traveling circus, it seems that the circus where Fizz and Blitz performed as clown children was located in the Ring of Pride, at least until Fizz's birthday when the fire occurred. Thanks to Fizz’s modifications, he surely managed to impress Mammon, bringing him to the Circle of Greed to create his brand. 🟣 The episode ends with an argument between Stella and Stolas, where there are speculations that, in addition to constant psychological abuse from his wife, he also received physical abuse.

EPISODE 2.- APRIL. (Spring).

🔵 The 20th is marked on the calendar, in a month with 30 days, which could indicate April, since in episode 5 we’re in July. (Although it could also be June, but since Octavia’s mother is moving recently, I lean more towards April). 🔵 A 2021 coin appears, indicating that the first season took place in 2020, and now we are in 2021, HOWEVER, in later episodes there is an error/inconsistency in the year. (Later, in episode 5, it’s actually implied that it’s 2020, meaning the previous season occurred in 2019, HOWEVER, later in Full Moon, the date is 2023, so this is an error/inconsistency from the creator/team).

EPISODE 3.- NO SPECIFIC DATE. (Possibly April-June) (Spring).

🟢 The wedding photo of M&M is shown, with Millie having long hair. 🟢 By the time Moxxie is captured, Blitz has already adopted Loona. 🟢 We also see that it’s possible to descend to the other rings by air, as Crimson sent a helicopter to bring I.M.P. from the Ring of Pride to the Ring of Greed.

EPISODE 4.- JULY. (Summer).

🔴 This episode should take place in the first days of July, since episodes 5 and 6 happen from July 13-22. 🔴 Stolas seems to have a reminder that in 3 days he has a meeting with Asmodeus, probably to talk about the crystal for Blitz, but he is delayed because of his kidnapping. 🔴 Blitz mentions that Hellhounds need to be vaccinated every year, but they have to wait 5 years due to the slow pace of the Ring of Sloth, which means that Blitz probably set up the appointment right after adopting Loona but could only take her now. xD 🔴 We know the 666 elevator exists to go down to the other rings or the hangars where Crimson’s helicopter landed, but for Striker to remain undetected, he travels through the desert of the Ring of Pride and uses a decommissioned well to get to the Ring of Wrath.

I wonder if, in the case a sinner discovers this place, they’ll be able to descend there, or will some force/magic/power stop them automatically? Or is it just guards in the elevator who prevent access, meaning they could use the decommissioned well to get through? 🤔

EPISODE 5.- JULY 13-17. (Summer).

🟠 M&M arrive at the camp on Monday the 13th to do the investigation and stay until Friday the 17th, when Millie gives a presentation to the camp and finally manages to kill the human they were supposed to. (The date is explicitly shown, Friday the 17th of July). 🟠 Unlike the 2021 coin shown in episode 2 (April), the year when July 17th fell on a Friday was actually in 2020. In 2021, July 17th fell on a Saturday, so the possible explanations are: 🔸 We have an error from the creators. 🔸 The year is 2020, not 2021, despite what was shown in episode 2. 🔸 The 2021 coins were distributed starting in April (or earlier) of 2020, placing the second season in 2020.

EPISODE 6.- JULY. (Summer.) (Reference to Hazbin Hotel).

🟢 The fire happened 15 years ago, 5 years later Mammon made Fizz the face of his new brand, and 10 years before the fire, Blitz and Stolas met. 🟢 The meeting with Asmodeus was delayed due to Stolas’s kidnapping and health, so this meeting took place in this episode. 🟢 Striker mentions that he kidnapped Stolas last week, so it must be Monday the 20th (23rd at most). 🟢 Asmodeus says he is NOT a fan of the “love potion” and that he doesn’t like such “artificial” things, as for him lust/courtship is an art of consent. He shows quite a bit of disgust when talking about that artificial potion. We know it’s Velvette and Val who created the “love potion", although we don’t know if other places make similar potions, the best-known one is the Vees'. We can also assume that, while Asmodeus might enjoy Angel's movies, he wouldn't be happy with a pimp like Valentino. 🟢 Crimson mentions that Asmodeus is the weakest of the capital sins, and while this is true in terms of ranks of the sins, he is certainly more powerful than the Hell royalty and much more than the IMP. However, not being someone with a "fighting" personality, but rather a "peaceful" type, this could have put him in a tough spot, considering they had Fizz as a hostage, whom they could easily kill. (It’s similar to Stolas, who is certainly strong, but a peaceful type unless the situation calls for action).

EPISODE 7 - AUGUST. (Summer).

🟢 Although there is no exact date, considering that the previous episode took place in July and the next one in September, we can assume that this episode occurs at the end of July or the beginning of September, so I placed it in August for simplicity. 🟢 It is mentioned that the "Robo-Fizz" are created for different tasks, from simple ones like standing in line to more serious ones like the sexual Robo-Fizz, and depending on what they are created for, they have a different color. In addition, they can likely be fully customized, like Kitty, Valentino’s robot. (I find it quite normal for each client to name their Robo-Fizz personally). 🟢 It is mentioned that Fizz has won the contest 10 times (10 years), after the fire, 5 years passed until Fizz won the first contest and became the face of Mammon's new brand.

EPISODE 8 - 29 SEPTEMBER. (FULL MOON) (Autumn).

🔴 The harvest moon this year is marked on the calendar as Friday, 29th of September, HOWEVER, unlike episode 2, which placed us in April 2021, and episode 5 in July 2020, here again we have an error in the year, because the 29th of September falling on a Friday is actually from 2023. 🔴 Unlike the previous year, I.M.P did not attend the harvest festival, however, Stolas should have attended since it's something he must do every year as one of his royal duties. 🔴 The 10th of September is marked as "Moxxie's day", so it is probably his birthday.

EPISODE 9 - 31 OCTOBER. (Autumn).

🟣 The episode begins the day after Full Moon, so it's the 30th of September. Blitz talks about how he and Stolas only had a bad night and that they need to "work" (have sex) because he wants to "feel like he’s earning" his way to Earth. (Although we know he just doesn't want to be away from Stolas). 🟣 Stolas received an invitation to Blitz’s exes’ party, but it is celebrated on the 31st of October, so the Apology Tour should have made a big time jump of 1 month. 🟣 During the party, Stolas mentions that the 31st of October is the day when hellish beings can be with mortals without fear of being discovered. 🟣 Stolas calls this day “All Hallows' Eve”; the celebration takes place on the night of the 31st of October, although the date is the 1st of November.

EPISODE 10 - LATE NOVEMBER, EARLY DECEMBER. (Autumn).

🔵 Millie mentions that Blitz has been in a bad mood for "more than a month", so he avoided working all through November, and we are probably in the last days of November or the beginning of December if he really was depressed for more than a month. 🔵 During the flashback, Millie mentions that "during that year she got to know the team", so it means that she and Moxxie didn't spend much time getting to know each other before getting married, considering that Blitz bought the office shortly after their wedding. Remembering that I.M.P started in January, to meet M&M's first anniversary, they must have married around New Year’s.

SHORTS - DECEMBER. (Late Autumn).

⚪️ There is no time reference, but they must occur in the first weeks of December, if they go after Blitz starts trying to improve. ⚪️ Apart from the elevator 666, the hangars, and the out-of-service well, it seems that buses can also travel between rings, since the one that Sallie May comes in has a "wrath" sign, which is where she comes from, arriving at Pride, where Millie currently lives. ⚪️ Due to Fizz's resignation from Mammon, the latter is getting rid of the Robo-Fizz. ⚪️ There is a billboard with Verosika announcing a musical tour through the Pride ring. (If any reference arises in season 2 of Hazbin Hotel, we may be able to better pinpoint the time period in which this is happening).

SHORTS - DECEMBER. (Late Autumn).

⚪️ There are no time references, but they must take place in the first weeks of December, if they come after Blitz starts trying to improve. ⚪️ Although it was initially thought that all sinners fall into Pentagram City, it doesn't seem to be entirely true, since Emberlynn Pinkle appeared only seconds after dying in front of the I.M.P office, so there is a possibility that sinners fall anywhere in the Pride ring, though most do fall in the main city. ⚪️ Theory: It seems someone created a series so that people would buy merchandise that are actually celestial amulets to protect them from the recent demonic attacks. Because otherwise, I don’t understand how that amulet saved her...

EPISODE 11 - DECEMBER. (Winter?).

🔴 There is no specific date, however, in the next episode, Stolas doesn’t seem to have been with Blitz for long, so this episode is likely set 1 week before the 24th (at most). 🔴 Demons don’t seem to have a problem with Blitz killing humans, but rather with the fact that he "stole" the book and tried to kill Stolas, however, Stolas didn’t clarify that everything was consensual and that it was Stella who tried to kill him. I don’t know why, but the song is beautiful, so I forgive it (? 🔴 Satan mentions that he was there even before Lucifer fell, but we know this is a lie, confirmed by Vivzie, and he was just boasting. However, just as that fact is a "lie," in hell, Satan IS THE LAW because Lucifer is uninterested; even all the sins sing about this fact. So, although Lucifer wears the crown, he is probably the most powerful in hell due to his nature as a seraph, Satan is "the true ruler" because he is the one who enforces the laws/politics. 🔴 There is a rubber duck that says "I’ll be back in 5 minutes," left years ago by Lucifer, probably after losing interest in the judgment/politics in hell.

EPISODE 12 - DECEMBER. (Winter).

🔵 It begins the day after the I.M.P trial. Stolas spends a few days adapting until they finally reach December 24th. (Honestly, it seems like only 2-3 days have passed since the trial). 🔵 Stella mentions that Stolas has tried to call Via "throughout the month," although it hasn’t actually been that long. 🔵 The I.M.P. are surprised that the human realm also seems to celebrate a Sinsmas, although Moxxie mentions that it seems more like something else. Even with the similar decorations, the tree, and the gifts, the I.M.P. don’t seem to remember that they’ve seen this before and dressed in Christmas outfits in episode 4 of the first season, or maybe the writers just forgot. 🔵 Stolas mentions that he is not familiar with the holiday. The Ars Goetia (the royalty) probably does not celebrate it, since it is a holiday to act like the sin you were born with or any general sin, meaning it’s a celebration of the capital sins created for the races derived from them, but the Ars Goetia are something different. That’s why we see Loona and her people eating a lot, since they come from gluttony. Or Moxxie and Millie, who were born in wrath, showing a "more aggressive" behavior, though not truly harming each other. (Moxxie was born in wrath, but was raised in greed from a young age, and is now living in pride).

[darkfictionjude]

Hi Jude! Traumatized nonnie with the horror IF here (lol there's got to be a better way to introduce myself *facepalm*). Thank for responding to my other ask. It meant a lot! I'm still working on my horror IF, and I hope to get to the point to share it some day ^_^. I'm not there yet, but that's a goal I'm working towards. I'm not sure if that's actually something you wanted to know about or not, but you inspire me, and your words encouraged me - credit where it's due. I have a 2 part thing. 1. Love EC!! Can't wait to romance Dante, he's such a wonderfully twisted character - I barely know him and love him already! I really love dark romances, and your characters are amazing. I'm definitely in that Imre and Dante fan grouping lol. You have the patience of a saint for dealing with all the "cheating Dante" asks. Question - can we flirt with Dante while being tortured? What if our Luce is into pain? Is it spoiler? To me that just feels right up his ally from what I've seen discussed about him.

Are you going to release a few chapters of EC before switching works, or bouncing when you feel the urge? My curiosity is more about work flow than schedules - in my mind you might switch to keep things fresh for yourself and keep work flowing, or might get bored/tired of one setting and need a change of scenery so to speak.

2. This is a Twine ask - maybe? I have plenty of resources, but what I struggle to find is a simple template with good clear instructions (my tism brain struggles!). Is there a sugarcube template you might recommend?

If not - that's totally OK. I'm here as a fan first and foremost! If you do, that's awesome! I'm not looking for anything fancy - I want to keep things simple, but I like working on the art, and focusing on learning the meaty code things. If I can find a template I actually understand at least I could focus on the things I want to focus on - argh. The struggle is real lol.

Anyways I've rambled long enough, as always thank you for the wonderful writing you share, and the time you give your audience. You are very much appreciated!!

1. I think perhaps you can even get sexual with Dante in the torture session haha

Rn I’m writing OYHS and then I’m going back to wwc for 3 chapters and I have time at the end of the year I’ll aim to release chapter 2 of EC. It’s due to wanting to finish wwc season 1 in 2026

2. So many of the sugarcube templates I really like haven’t been updated for the newest version of twine. I would suggest since you’re a beginner to just use the regular old built in template just customize it to your hearts content since it will give you the tools you need to understand how css works. When you get into more coding then I would say take a chance on either updating the non-updated templates or creating your own

Thank you for the ramble much appreciated 🧡

[softantlers]

introduction: hi, i'm jae (gentledeer on ao3), and i write yellowjackets fic! i wanted to make a masterlist that i can keep updated with everything i have going on. i mostly write lottienat, but i have written some taivan and genlissa & i have plans to write lisacallie soon. <3

main projects

play god and destroy the world (series) lottienat // canon divergent series beginning in season 2 with lottie and natalie's romance at the center.

part 1 - CROWN (finished! season two; 13/13 chapters, 50k words, character study & some smut)

#play god and destroy the world- any asks or little hc's that have to do with the CROWN universe.

#our mothers are idiots- an au fic i am cooking with @wolfienation. centers vapefork (lisa/callie) with lottienat as adoptive parent figures to lisa and shaunajackie as parents to callie. meanwhile, taivan are wondering how long it's going to take either couple to realize their kids are dating each other.

#campstrap- age gap lottienat au i have in the works where 24-year-old lottie is disowned and 40-year-old nat runs a punk anarcho dyke commune. lottie moves onto the commune. older taivan are also there. tai handles the commune's red tape and van is an ideas guy.

#fangbang- nat's a vampire hunter and lottie is a newly turned vamp... nat doesn't have it in her to kill lottie (who vaguely reminds her of a puppy). so her bright idea is to keep lottie hidden in her apartment and teach her how to be a... good..? vampire..? (and also try to keep lottie safe from fellow vampire hunters tai & van…) meanwhile, mari, a local witch who owes nat big, manages to become lottie's part-time babysitter… yeah, nothing could go wrong.

Warning! Potential spoilers for Stranger Things Season 5!

This account has tweeted a ‘scoop’ stating that Will Byers will have a love interest in season five. I’ve seen varying reports on this acc’s reliability - otoh it has apparently revealed Marvel spoilers, but on the other it’s been called out for making up things, so it’s hard to say.

It has tweeted this in the past:

That RejectedScooper person is being incredibly unreliable. First they insinuate it is Mike:

then they deny it:

then they like a byler tweet:

However, while RejectedScooper is absolutely not reliable, MyTimeToShineH is more debatable. One stranger things stan acc on twitter, an acc which closely follows filming, dm’d then and was told only that it’s a ‘new’ character, with no elaboration.

I’m sharing all of this to paint the fullest possible picture, as I know many of the accs here aren’t on twitter. It’s worth noting that they’re on filming for episode 4-5 now, and no leaks of any plausible Will LIs have emerged… but the casting for the Turnbow parents didn’t get out either, only that of the kid who has a crush on Erica.

It could be a side character whose role is to make Mike jealous. Noah was very uncertain about byler when asked back when he had only the first few episode scripts - ‘don’t be sad if it doesn’t happen’, etc. Right before filming in January, however, he went on tiktok live and read out ‘byler endgame’ and ‘byler kiss’ comments - this is after he got up to episode 7. The video of this is in my Noah Schnapp tag. Could just be a ploy to keep bylers strung along, however, and I am remaining pessimistic.

I will be sure to update the byler tag again if we get more details on this!

ETA: One last note: if you check my other posts, you’ll see that the messages Alex gets are all straightforward about Will not being over Mike in the first few eps. There’s a leak floating around stating that he’s very upset when Mike is injured and that he arrives at the hospital in an awful state.

I have also personally seen, from a reliable source present during ep 2 hospital filming, statements that they’ve heard Will’s relationship with Mike is ‘developing’, that he’s more of a leader this season, and that Mike is having a self-discovery arc and is being more like the protector he was….

ETA 2: they’re filming eps 3 and 5 atm, and the post-production schedule has been revamped, in that post-production is happening immediately after each ep is fully filmed. They have rough copies of ep 1 and 2 rn, and since post-production is when leaks really start coming out (3000 working on it)… all of this has extra veracity.

If the love interest is real and new, and he’s a series regular from eps 1 and 2, we as Bylers are cooked lmao. If he’s an NPC designed to give Mike a taste of his own medicine make Mike jealous tho…

NCT 127 Dating Ban Update + Coming Next Week

Wohooo, I've had a breakthrough! 😁 I was struggling with the ending of Johnny's up-coming Dating Ban story, but I just finished the first draft!

That means proofreading and editing still remains, but also that the plot (and sex scene) is done and that I can now focus fully on the next part, Taeyong.

I also realized why it took me so long to write Johnny's story – it's 8k words long, significantly longer than most other stories in the series. 8k is not that much, but it still explains why I felt like it took longer than usual with this one.

You still won't see this story just yet, but this is a major breakthrough. And, I'm excited about Taeyong's part which is up after Johnny and that's a good sign, because hopefully it means I'll feel inspired to finish it soon enough.

If you're not afraid of spoilers I have two secrets for you (and if you are, skip this paragraph): I wanted Johnny's story to not just be a repeat of everything else so I gave him a massive cock and a wild side to use it in. And something will happen in Taeyong's story that may seem harmless at the time but which will play an important role in another story to come.

What you've seen so far is only the beginning of the NCT 127 Dating Ban. I know I'm slow and simultaneously publishing a lot of other requests and stories, but this one is something you can trust me on: I will finish this series, even if it takes a year.

Coming this week...

Today is Sunday and that's when I usually tell you what stories you can look forward to in the week to come 🙂

Last week's two Taeyong stories (daytime (straight) and nighttime (gay)) were a surprise and meant that I published 4 instead of the usual 2 stories that week.

This week you get 3 new stories, including two that may be a surprise to some unless you keep an eye on the Up-coming Stories page in which case you already know what's coming.

The straight Quick Fix Season is over so no more Tuesday stories for now. But I've got one longer straight story on Monday (tomorrow, April 28) and two gay ones on Thursday and Saturday:

Monday, April 28, 2025: Backstage Sex with TXT Beomgyu (straight one-shot)

This one has been long awaited and requested. Beomgyu pulls you (female reader) up on stage during a show, takes you backstage and has wild sex with you while talking dirty. It's gonna be hot, especially the fingering scene 😏

In the story it's revealed that idol and fan have met before. And slept together. I've told you before that I struggled with coming up with ways for why idol and reader would have sex backstage, and this was one of the ideas that came up 🙂

Thursday, May 1, 2025: NCT Chenle Begging to be Fucked (x Top Male Reader)

There have been requests for more gay top reader stories, specifically about NCT Dream. This one is a response to that.

I already did Jeno being spanked which was also a response to that, and I've got plans for all dreamers eventually (released as Quick Fix Gay stories in coming seasons of that series).

In this week's Chenle story he disturbs you while you work from home. But how can you resist his cute face when he's so obviously horny and begging to be fucked?

Saturday, May 3, 2025: Riize Sohee, Anton & Wonbin x Top Male Reader Foursome (gay one-shot)

I'm super excited for this one! Not necessarily for this story in itself, but because someone requested more gay Riize smut AFTER I wrote this story, and the combination of this story and the request led me to write two more (to be published in the future).

Essentially, this gay foursome story kicks off a new universe of stories that tell a grander story, one about all members of Riize but specifically about Sohee (you'll know why in the future) and his journey of sexual identity.

In this first story from that universe Sohee is having sex with boyfriend male reader when fellow gay couple Anton and Wonbin walk in and join them.

It's a soft, partner-based start to even more gay Riize content in the future 😉

Poll: What story excites you the most?

SG-1 Book series Live Blogging:

The Price You Pay (Season 1)

Ok so I've never read a Stargate book before and I'm both excited and nervous. Here we go!

Updates:

- Chapter 1

- ok so first off, getting to know more about stuff like supply requests? Neat af

- Sam Carter uses a nightlight, validation to all nightlight users

- "But for herself, the concept of stepping, or perhaps falling, across space was still fabulous, and every night before a mission she lay awake, testing the delicious fear that maybe this time the mysterious technology of the Star-gate wasn’t going to work." Girl is thinking about their demises before they even step through the gate

- Chapter 2

- "Really, it was too good to be true. Something was missing. Where wasthat familiar cozy feeling of dread and doom?" XD

- Chapter 3

- I am SO confused

- Chapter 4

- Carter, you're making me nervous drinking that stuff

- OH SHIT THE DHD

- isn't that like one of the first things they check for with the MALP?!?!?!

- Chapter 5

- damn it Sam this is not the time to be drunk!!

- this must take place before they figured out how to dial manually

- “People on your world sit on babies?” XD

- "“How does one become square?” Teal’C inquired.O’Neill opened his mouth, closed it again, and shrugged.Carter and Jackson crawled away."

- I'm getting major Goa'uld Hunger Games vibes right now wtf

- Chapter 6

- so... yeah pretty much

- I'm a little confused why they felt the need to specify Teal'c skin color when describing that he stopped in a crowd, but I guess maybe so that people who've never seen SG-1 would know? Idk, they didn't say "the white woman nearly ran into him", they said "she nearly ran into him" so, feels weird but I'm white so what do I know

- "your legs are too short" PFFFFT

- ok again describing him as "the black man", literally no one else's skin colors are being mentioned like this. Why do Carter, Daniel, and Jack get she/he, their title, or their name and Teal'c gets "the black man" tf??

- poor kids :(

- Chapter 7

- “Heeeeeere dialer dialer,” O’Neill crooned. “Come out come out whereveryou are.” BRUH

- “Oh, I don’t know, maybe you could set up a box trap with tacos?” BRUH

- “Just lucky, I guess. You should apply to the Guinness Book of World Records as the person allergic to the most planets.” poor Daniel

- ahh, ok so I guess this is the first time they get stranded without a DHD and that's why it becomes standard to check for one

- way to throw away your stealth Jack

- oh shit something is about to go down

- Chapter 8

- welp, Teal'c and Carter kidnapped a bunch of kids and Jack and Daniel got kidnapped by a bunch of towns people

- Chapter 9

- oh great now they're sick

- "What would O’Neill do in a situation like this? he wondered. Whatever it was, Daniel was certain that the colonel wouldn’t let a little nakedness stop him." True XD

- Chapter 10

- poor Sam :(

- "O’Neill had decided that a miniskirt wasn’t his look and couldn’t figure out where to put his knees." XD

- Chapter 11

- a hand held DHD?? Why would they never use that in the show???

- Apophis's home??

- a teleporter? They can't be describing rings cuz they know what that is, they specifically describe a blinding light. That makes me think Asgard, but they don't have that tech

- a Goa'uld city?!?!?!?

- Jack is making poor Daniel have to GROVEL grovel

- Chapter 12

- this is so strange

- Chapter 13

- poor Carter :(

- Chapter 14

- ah yes Daniel, take off the helmet that is protecting your identity because it's a little uncomfortable. SO SMART

- huh?? I really do not understand that last part

- Chapter 15

- I'm sorry, envisioning that kitchen scene is so funny

- nice work Daniel

- Chapter 16

- YEESH

- Chapter 17

- oh shit Sha're and Apophis actually make an appearance!

- "at least one young woman now held the keys to the universe."

- "was it all worth it?"

- those last couple paragraphs were awesome

- I really liked this book overall! Getting to read their thoughts was especially cool. It's a bit frustrating to go into these and know that nothing of concequemce is going to happen though since the show already happened
