Session 2 of Edge dnd is now done.
So the party did not die to the 3 rotsuckers! 1 player didnt turn up and the fight was very hard (but they chose not to run) so my 2 emergancy (sky pirate) npc's came to save the day!
They then all went back to the woodtroll camp to rest and talk where they eventually discovered that the Waif was acutally the old first mate to that captain and a traitor. In the morning they went to confront him and drama ensued and in the end one party member (a child) got very truamatised but they got the waif and the pirates skedaddled.
They then carried on heading north (looking for a certain cave) but came across Wigwig swarms. Luckily the party was stealthed after the rotsuckers scared them into this. They sadly rolled good on nature and knew they were dangerous. But oh no the missing party member turned up and rolled a fucking 2 on stealthy immediately alerting the swarms.
The wigwig fight went well the druid got swarmed and then downed but its okay!! they were healed and upped... then immedidelty died..... so the party killing some of the wigwigs ran for it.
Overall good times. My skypirate player who is a ranger and ratbird protector got their missing ratbird back! it was with a caterbird which was fun espically as they thought the bird was dangerous. Did kill player character and theyve decided to dip out so replacing them for the last session. All we got left of short campaign is the return of the skypirate to her ship, and the child finding their cave so one go left.

☄ — Some people say that Gabor "Gabe" Pete Erdös could be Darce Montgomery ’s doppelgänger, but is really a 28 year old Owner & Manager of Pine Hallow . They mainly identified as a Bisexual Cis-Male , and described to be an overachiever, diligent, protective, & loyal.

■ . B A C K G R O U N D . ■
Gabor grew up in a middle-class farmhouse in Hungary with his two younger siblings, called Pine Hallow. Since Gabe was young, he was always expected to be his siblings’ protector and positive role model. Roles that he didn’t mind taking, truthfully, he adored his brother and sister; would do absolutely everything and anything for them. Some might say he’s a bit overprotective, but he would never care what others thought - he could even justify it as just doing his job. Though as time passed and his father grew weaker, the responsibility of his siblings and farm was beginning to land on Gabor’s shoulders, and more stress started to fill his head at night. Still, he was also too determined to show his worth to his father, considering the old man constantly taunted him about being too pretty to be a true Hungarian man. However, even after months of never failing the family’s farm and business or the responsibility of taking himself and his siblings to school - it still wasn’t good enough. Especially when Xena was diagnosed with a Stage-Three tumor in her lungs. After taking the young girl to millions of different doctors - there was still nothing they could do except make her feel comfortable. Six months, one week, and six days later - Xena died in Gabor’s arms after watching a movie. Though Gabe watched the medics take his sister’s lifeless body away, he didn’t wait for his parent’s disappointment to add to his guilt. Before they realized what happened, Gabor packed a bag and ran—never speaking to his family again. Weeks, hell, maybe even months after running away from home - Gabor worked for food and shelter but would never spend any longer than 2 or 3 nights in one place. He was only 19-years-old, and there wasn’t much he could do, so he set out to move to the country everyone talks about, the one that is vastly known as ‘The Land of the Free.’ Though only one problem - how the hell was he supposed to get there? Bumping into a man with piercing blue eyes and black hair and ultimately intimidating - he offered Gabe a ride on his ship…well, one of his ships, though in exchange for the travels, he would have to do things around the boat, chores no one else would want to do. Hell, he was a farmer for a decade, nearly two - how hard could chores on a ship be? Well, extremely hard, though as always - he was determined though…now his determination was more for himself than for someone else. Over time, Gabe was known as Poseidon's Trident’s cabin boy and slowly made a name for himself in the pirate universe. No, he never made it to America, but he unknowingly found a new home in piracy as he gladly accepted the promotion from the man who first brought him on board as a mate on the man’s ship, Dragon’s Plunder.
Being a pirate...it was the only thing that made sense to Gabe - there wasn’t a living soul on any of the Darragh’s ships that weren’t hiding from something or someone...especially the Darraghs, he built a family on Dragon’s Plunder -- a family that he swore to himself never to abandon. There wasn’t a day he never stopped thinking about his blood family...his family’s farm...everything he left in Hungary; however, he still had a job to do, and he wasn’t going to let his captain down now. A mission in Ukraine came up, and it was a mission that was personally assigned from the Dragon’s Plunder’s captain to Gabor...a mission that dangerous but essential to the Darragh’s fleet. To which Gabe gladly took - he was only 24-years-old, and he thought he was untouchable. Well, that belief was soon about to change. Being in Ukraine for only about four days, Gabor thought the mission was going well - at least until the floor became unstable. No matter how quickly his legs and feet snapped into action, it wouldn’t have mattered - he was in a motel on the second floor, and the ceiling was already starting to come in on him. Still, he thought he could make it outside safely, at least until he ran towards the toward and the debris from the ceiling fell in front of him and through the floor, so, when Gabe took that extra step to leave, he fell through the hole and landed on his back on top of hard debris. He could instantly feel his shoulder snapping out of place and a near suffocating pinch against his spine. Lucky enough for him, there was an off-duty cop there that helped him out of the motel and out of the way from the rest of the falling debris. Hardly able to walk, the cop had to carry him and lay him down in a safe spot till the earthquake was over. It lasted for only 45 seconds, but it truly felt like a lifetime at that moment, and hours till the paramedics finally arrived. Finally arriving at the hospital, his shoulder was simply popped back into place, but the real damage was done to his back. A fractured tail bone and snapped spine, needless to say, the mate was unable to move. Because of how severe his injury is, his captain and First Mate told him he could not return to the ship, not because they didn’t want him but because they couldn’t risk making his injury worse on the boat, seeing how a pirate’s job is more than just their job on the ship but to the crew and captain. In 12 hours, the Hungarian pirate….ex-pirate’s world was flipped upside down.
Gabor was a Dragon’s Plunder mate for seven years; for that reason, when he was released from the hospital, his old crew took him to Pierdut Isle as a civilian to rest and heal. Walking was still a bit tricky for him, but with crutches, it was...doable. All he wanted was to go back to the ship, to his second family. Settling into the Overwater Bungalow, only walking around the house to get his weak ass legs to start working again, Gabor was by himself for the better of a few weeks...possibly months - he wasn’t too sure. The only thing that saved him was knowing that Emily Pentali and Mason Rulolin were both on the island as well; he only left his new home to see them. Once he could walk without his crutches, Gabe changed into some gym shorts and a tank top and walked around the island. A couple of months later, the ex-mate was able to jog along the beach, there was still that tinge of pain in his back, but he still refused to be a cripple. The farmer and pirate in him wouldn’t let him just be a crippled couch potato. It was nearing the end of summer, and he was taking his routine jog on the beach when he ran into the most attractive human he’s ever seen. The spare princess of Hungary, Alexandra Kardos. Someone he’s known since they were kids, and even though she was a princess and he was a simple farmer - the two were always inseparable. Hell, he eve became her “bodyguard,” though they could find themselves alone most of the times, the more chance of them making out was higher. The two agreed to become Friends with Benefits, not realizing that the other had feelings for the other. They both knew how important they were to the other, but neither knew how deep either of their feels went. Not to mention, when he left Hungary, he didn’t tell anyone he was leaving - not even Alexandra.
Seeing Alexandra again became too much, therefore before Christmas, Gabe made arrangements for a ship to take him to Hungary to visit his family. People he hasn’t seen in 8 years. Every thought was only about the princess, and his feelings for her were only growing more substantial, and he didn’t know what to do...he couldn’t act on his feelings. Not when he learned that in the end, Alex would be marrying someone else. Plus, it’s been too long since he’s seen his family and knew it was time to see them and make amends. Of course, for the first few days, all there was, was bickering and arguing. Eventually, they could sit down around the dinner table and talk things out like adults. Gabe knew there were so many things he needed to make amends for. Allowing his sister to pass, leaving the second the paramedics took her away, losing all contact with his family and waiting eight years to reach out to them again. Trust him, he knew it, and he would gladly pay for it. Though his family, as always, were too kind. After hearing about his incident in Ukraine, they gave him chores that he could do without making a healing injury worse. Though it’s almost been a year, and even though when he was overworked, his back would hurt, and his lower back would turn slightly numb, but he swore he was able to do his old chores. After all, you couldn’t live on a farm and just sit around. One morning, before sunrise, Gabor and his younger brother saddled up their horses for a ride that was only for the Erdös’s siblings. A ride that he didn’t realize he missed till now. As the horses were eating the grass, the brothers sat on the edge of the cliff that overlooked the city that was a few miles away from their farm...waiting for the sun to rise and set a new day. The now youngest Erdös pulled out a gold chain with a locket that had an emerald gem in the middle of it. His brother was starting to explain, staring at the necklace, and it only grew Gabor’s curiosity. Though he began to listen to his brother, he soon discovered that the emerald gem was their baby sister’s ashes condensed into the gem and glued into the locket. Once the locket was in his hands, he opened it to find a photo of his family on the left and a photo of only Xena on the right. One of their favorite photos of her. Immediately he started to cry...his heartbreaking all over again from the loss of his sister and from abandoning his family right after.
Returning to Pierdut Isle a couple of months later, he settled back into his Overwater Bungalow and took many...many shots. Trying to work up the courage to talk to Alexandra again; however, it wasn’t Alexandra he ran into and ended up talking to...and more; though Alex caught him with another girl in his bed. There is only one person Gabor Erdös ever had feelings for, and that is Alexandra Kardos. Thus, the girl beside him didn’t mean anything to him other than a drunk hookup and mistake, considering now that every time he thinks of that night, he could only think about the betrayal hidden in Alex’s eyes. Gabor is still trying to mend the relationship between him and Alex, though he knew it would take a lot more than just confessing how he truly feels about her.
If anything else, at least now he has an escape back to his home to work/manage his family’s farm, Pine Hallow.
■ . I M P O R T A N T . C O N N E C T I O N S. ■
♢ Pete Erdös — The bond between the two was rocky, Pete expected a lot out of his first born son, for he was going to be the carrier of not only the Erdös name, but carry on the family's farm, Pine Hallow. Not to mention he expected Gabor to be a great role model for his younger siblings. When the youngest child and only daughter of Pete and Elena was diagnosed with cancer, he never blamed the death on his oldest - how he acted afterwards, however, is something he held him responsible for. Years later when Gabe came back, Pete knew he was dying a lot more rapidly then he expected and didn't have time to punish Gabe. By the look n his eyes, he knew his first son punished himself...and still is. Therefore, he embraced Gabe in a warm hug and formed a close bond with him that was apparently never there before. ♢ Elena Erdös — The bond between Gabe and his mom has always been different then Gabe and his father. His mom is the reason why he grew obsessed with learning as many languages as possible, and of course, being able to cook and bake mean dishes. His mom is a graceful woman and always felt protected and welcomed in her arms. Even after Gabe abandoned them with no word for 8 years. ♢ Hunter Erdös — While Gabor and Hunter's parents were in their lives, Gabe was the one to really raise Hunter. The one he went to when he needed help or just to talk to. He looked up to him but when their baby sister passed away and Gabe abandoned them. There was disdain settling into him about his older brother. However, as he reached out to him after 7 years - he vented his frustrations to Gabe and after a few long conversations, the two were beginning to become close again. ♢ Xena Erdös — The only girl Gabe was convinced he could ever unconditionally love. Since his baby sister's death he convinced himself that he was never worthy of love. Taking this hard, he decided it be best to run away and disown himself from his family before they had the chance to. Still till this day, he still mourns her and wishes he had just a few more seconds with her. ♢ Alexandra Kardos — Alexandra and Gabor have been close since they were kids. Which was odd considering Alexandra is the Spare Princess of Hungary and Gabe was just a simple farmboy. Nevertheless, the two formed a close bond where eventually he became her bodyguard, but also the only one to get-her-off as well. The two started growing a deeper bond than just friends having simple sex. Though when Alex caught Gabe with someone else on the island - Alex made it clear that she wants nothing to do with him. Though, Gabe is too stubborn to give up on her entirely. ♢ Emily Pentali — Mason, Emily, and Gabe they are the three-musketeers. They are inspirable on Dragon's Plunder. There was literally nothing and no one that could separate the three. With Emily, she reminds Gabe of his sister who had passed. The reason why he turned to piracy. Though this time he swore to protect Emily for as long as possible and harder than he ever protected Xena. ♢ Mason Rulolin — For eighteen years, Gabe believed he was straight. Granted there was a few guys he thought was attractive but he never had sexual thoughts about them. However, meeting Mason - he had completely changed that. After their first greeting, Gabe's thoughts and dreams were only about Mason in the most inappropriate of ways. But, Gabe knew himself and he cherished having the other's friendship more than just have a casual fuck with him. They are still friends...best friends and there is nothing he wouldn't do for him.

I’m here with a zombie apocalypse (think Resident Evil level) + ABO danmei! I’m not usually a fan of ABOs tbh and I picked up this book for the zombie part and was surprised by the ABO part, but this one was a good nice balance between both. Surviving the zombie apocalypse still takes centre stage while the ABO part is more of a subplot/backdrop, but it’s cool all the same haha
Written by the author who wrote Swallowing the Sea (Tun Hai) & Breaking the Clouds (Po Yun)!
- Part of Min’s ‘Why You Should Read’ Series -
Summary:
In a world that has been overrun by a virus that turns people into zombies, Si Nan wakes up with no memory of who he is and what he’s doing in this rescue camp, only that he’s an omega that is scheduled to be air-lifted out of an affected zone to a safe sanctuary, where omegas are prized individuals meant to be protected so they can give birth and contribute to a new population, which has been decimated with attacking zombies globally. 
He’s not sure who he is and what he was supposed to be doing, but his instincts tell him to not go along with these people, and he flees into the crowd of attacking zombies. Much to everyone’s surprise, he has strong combat abilities (despite being an omega) and manages to escape from the team and also the zombies.
He chances upon Zhou Rong, Captain of the 118 Retrieval Special Unit and his team during another zombie attack in a nearby city, and joins them out after his escape route is blocked. Si Nan hides his omega scent with suppressants he finds in a supermarket, and unbeknownst to him, he has actually met Zhou Rong before when they were both much younger in a different setting, before zombies were even a thing. Zhou Rong leads a team of beta soldiers, which die one after the other as they flee, leaving the team down to its last bullet and six members.
Si Nan decides to follow them for a while, and due to his skilled fighting prowess, he gains the trust of this team and the civilians they’re protecting. Zhou Rong also takes a liking to him, and so does another team member Yan Hao, while Si Nan mistakenly thinks that Zhou Rong and Yan Hao are a couple together instead. As they flee from one city to another trying to get back to the 118 base, they realize the situation and virus is worser than they thought. They have to fight to survive while also figure out who Si Nan is, and why he’s a wanted individual by authorities from another country.
*A pretty accurate representation of a zombie apocalypse I have to say, I had Resident Evil flashbacks when I was reading this, people start dying right off the bat, but nothing hurts more than 2ha so I only teared up at minor character deaths
Read:
Novel (Online) | Novel (Print) - December 2020 Print | Novel Translations 
Characters:
1. 司南 Si Nan - Amazing pouty and fierce mix-blood blond-haired omega who has amnesia and doesn’t even know his own name. He sees some product in a convenience store where he meets Zhou Rong for the first time that has the words 司南 on it and decides that his name for now. Combat specialist and can take out a lot of zombies just on his own - he’s also immune to the zombie virus but they don’t know this until much later. He doesn’t go with the shady troop that rescued him initially, but with Zhou Rong because he’s intrigued by how brash and kind and a bit dumb this Captain is. Masquerades as a beta with the help of suppressants
He has a stepbrother (an alpha) who tortured him for many years due to Si Nan’s special condition and the mystery surrounding his childhood with his scientist mother and dead-but-terribly-revived father. Said stepbrother also wants to mate with him because he ‘loves’ him but is just insane af. 
Si Nan actually met Zhou Rong when they were much younger before this whole zombie thing came along, and Si Nan actually pretended to be a helpless participant of the competition they were in and lets Zhou Rong help him, only to steal away the prize at the very last moment. He liked Zhou Rong a lot then, but due to him being taken hostage technically by his stepbrother and also his allegiance to a Western state (he’s mixed blood, stepbrother is American-ish) they were unable to be together. 
He’s compassionate, but doesn’t show mercy to anyone who doesn’t deserve it. Like Zhou Rong, he wants to save everyone they possibly can, but they’re not dumb enough to think they can save everyone. As he travels with Zhou Rong and his team and other civilians, he starts to remember little things about himself and is caught by his stepbrother again midway through the novel, and just as he despairs that no one will ever save a monster like him, Zhou Rong turns up to do just that.
2. 周戎 Zhou Rong - Extremely confident, brash but handsome and strategic alpha Captain of the 118 unit, a special unit which was sent out a few months prior to the start of the book to clear out regions of civilians, but they lose touch with a major city and headquarters, and are forced to find ways to return to big HQ amidst unusual bursts of zombie attacks and a new strain of zombies who were infected without being bitten. Masquerades as a beta, like the rest of his team.
He loses a lot of his team along the way, and has to carry the burden of killing them before they turn at their requests, and also promising to find their families and take care of them for his dead team members. He wants to save everyone, but also knows that with dwindling supply to food, medicine etc. they can only choose their battles along the way. 
Takes a huge liking to strong Si Nan, unknowing that he’s the boy he met and fell in love with when they were younger. Because of the competition then, despite Si Nan winning over him, he decides to openly court Si Nan after the competition, and brings flowers to go see him, only to see Si Nan being given a temporary claiming bite on the back of his neck by another man (the stepbrother). Dejected and devastated, his first budding love kind of ended there, and from then on he openly disses omegas as he thinks that Si Nan basically seduced him to deceive him, and that all the affection they shared during the days of the competition in the wild were fake.
After the truth about Si Nan is out, he does a 180 hahahaha, and Si Nan forgives him XD 
3. 颜豪 Yan Hao - Another alpha-hiding-as-a-beta team member of Zhou Rong’s unit. After Si Nan saves him twice, he falls in love with Si Nan, not knowing that Si Nan thinks that Zhou Rong and himself are together. His feelings after are known to Si Nan, but Zhou Rong and he openly (and hilariously) fight for Si Nan’s affections. Zhou Rong is way more direct than Yan Hao is though, and Si Nan obviously likes Zhou Rong much more than he does Yan Hao, so naturally he was kicked out of the competition hahaha. He’s very sporting about it though!
Other Things I Like in the Novel:
Zhou Rong calls himself Rong-ge, asks everyone to call him that, he takes on the brotherly protector role in the team and amongst the civilians he rescued - Tells Si Nan to call for Rong-ge whenever he’s in danger and he’ll turn up - So there’s a part where Si Nan is bombarded with his memories while he’s about to be kidnapped by his stepbrother and also chased down by incoming hordes of zombies, and he yells out for Rong-ge, and Rong-ge really turns up ;-;
Si Nan is pouty and glowering all the time, a bit cold and aloof at other times, but he’s always drawn to Zhou Rong’s warmth
After they confirm their feelings for each other and spend his heat together, they are literally inseparable, like forever holding hands and looking out for each other like they go from flirty at 20% to 200% as a couple midway through the novel
Si Nan kicks ass, all the time! He’s super good at fighting
Zhou Rong promises to get Si Nan a huge rock as an engagement ring but he spends all his check on the families of his dead team members at the end of the novel, and Si Nan teases him, “So what are you going to use to afford my ring now huh?” Also, they’re just recovering from the zombie apocalypse so the commercialisation of marriages will once again have to wait, but Zhou Rong literally does turn up with a bigass ridiculous diamond ring (from where they raided a diamond ring story during a mission) and presents it to him
Yan Hao always teases Si Nan for how he thought him and Zhou Rong were together, because both men are always rough-housing and fighting like actual brothers than lovers XD
Yan Hao tells Zhou Rong that they should compete fairly for SI Nan’s affections, and Zhou Rong rolls his eyes and grabs Si Nan over and kisses him full on on the lips while Yan Hao splutters in defeat
The novel depicts deaths and helplessness really, really well. LIke seriously, I almost couldn’t finish it but it’s actually a pretty nice novel that doesn’t focus entirely on the doom and gloom of the apocalypse

This is the story of J6
For many years J pod contained three very iconic males - J1, J3, and J6. J6 Ralph was estimated to have been born in 1956 and was already a mostly full-grown adult male when CWR's Orca Survey began in 1976. By Katie Jones, CWR ORCA SURVEY Outreach & Education Center Manager
Tumblr media
J6 and J3 in 1976
During the early days of the [Orca Survey] study, when the whales' family trees were largely unknown and guesses had to be made as to who was related to whom, it was thought that J6 could have possibly been the brother of J8 as they spent a lot of time together. 
J6 was nicknamed "Ralph" in honor of former Washington Secretary of State Ralph Munro. Ralph Munro has long been a champion and protector for orcas. He was a first-hand witness to the horrific orca capture in Budd Inlet in 1976, and his actions not only helped to free the whales of the Budd Inlet capture but also helped to stop orca captures from ever happening again in Washington State. He has been a tireless advocate for Southern Resident killer whales, and it's only fitting that a whale is named after him. 
I asked Center for Whale Research Senior Staff / Photo Identification Specialist Dave Ellifrit for stories about J6. I've heard some people refer to J6 as "the babysitter." Around the time when J19 and J11 were just little ones, apparently, J6 would spend time playing around with his little pod mates. As he grew older, though, his behavior became very much like many of the older males in the pods: the pods would be foraging, and J6 could often be seen way offshore from everyone doing his own thing. Despite this behavior, Dave said he was definitely a very social whale and could often be seen right in the thick of good rolly-poly social behavior. 
CWR Senior Scientist Ken Balcomb recalls an encounter while watching the whales come into Haro Strait from Discovery Island - J6 was going from whale watch boat to whale watch boat checking everyone out. Ken said he seemed to be saying hello to everyone! 
Tumblr media
J6 in 1992
Dave Ellifrit also recalled one story where High Spirits (CWR's old research trimaran vessel regularly used in the 1990s, especially for the Earthwatch teams that would volunteer for CWR) was following along with J6. During this encounter, J6 was being harassed by Dall's porpoise. The little porpoises zipped and buzzed around him at high speed, and he seemed to be so annoyed with his little hitchhikers that he began to ooze closer and closer to High Spirits. Dave recalled that Dall's porpoise really loved riding on the bow of the trimaran, and it seemed like J6 was trying to pawn off his annoying little companions on the research boat! If this was his tactic, it didn't seem to work, but it was good thinking if that's indeed what he was trying to do.
Tumblr media
J6 Ralph and a Dalls Porpoise in 1998
CWR Community Relations Coordinator Lodie Budwill also has a very special story about J6 that she shared: 
My favorite memory of J6 "Ralph" took place almost 30 years ago! I would spend the entire day observing resident whales from land or by boat whenever my schedule would allow. I had three favorite "boys" at that time, J6 "Ralph," L38 "Dylan," and J1 "Ruffles." Any and every moment of time with them was extra special to me! 
On this particular day, I was on a small metal boat with Captain Darrell Roberts, who knew these whales and understood my passion for them. It was summertime, and the water was flat like a mirror. All of J Pod was present on the north side of Henry Island, somewhat spread out, traveling from west to east. We sat still in the water with the engine cut to watch the whales approach off the stern of the boat. Most of the whales had passed by when I spotted J6 at a distance, swimming solo. There he was, his massive dorsal fin cutting through the smooth water like a knife. He was aiming directly toward us. 
In my excitement to connect with J6, I leaned over the back of the boat, reached my arms out about 1-2 feet above the clear water. I clapped my hands and called to him as he swam towards us. He remained close to the surface the entire distance, as the tip of his tall dorsal fin never fully submerged! He swam straight as an arrow right up to the boat, and almost as if in slow motion, he glided directly under my hands. He was gorgeous from rostrum to fluke! I remember Captain Darrell at this point telling the others on the boat that Ralph was one of my "boyfriends"! J6 will always hold a very special place in my heart.
J6 is definitely one of the most iconic whales of yesteryear, and it's always a pleasure to bring these stories to new generations of orca lovers who may not have had the opportunity to meet or get to know these special individuals.

Wordgirl Au: Alliance Swap Au
Note: This au is a combination of Becky Boxleitner au and my half human/half alien Becky au. Another thing if anyone out there is a fan of the characters: Scoops, Violet Heaslip, Professor Robert Tubing, Captain Huggy Face/Bob, and Kid Math; then I am sorry. You will DEFINITELY not like this au. I am not kind to these characters in this au for a reason. 
In this au, Wordgirl is still the same hero we all know, but her allies are swapped. 
Becky Hope Boxleitner: In this au, Becky is a hybrid alien. She is half Inventeran and half Lexiconian. She was born on the planet Inventra which was a planet that neighbored Lexicon. In this au, Becky’s mother is Amirana Trese, a Lexiconian, and her father is Stevnen (pronounced: Stev-nen) Bauxlite (pronounced: Bow-cks-light). (Yep. I made Steven Boxleitner an alien in this au.) Inventerans are were-animal hybrids. In their were-animal form, they have a mix of human and animal features with a little more animalistic characters. They are also able to shift to a human appearance. Becky has the same abilities as her dad along with her Lexiconian powers. 
Background: This Alliance Swap Au is also an au of my half human/half alien Becky au with a twist. If any of you read my bio outline of Becky’s biological mother and my headcanon, it is basically the same in this au with a few twists. 
1. Amirana Trese came to Invetra on a diplomatic mission to help the Aviary Inventra scientists. Everyone on Inventra is a pursuer of knowledge. They have no military, just high defense systems. They relied on Lexicon for combat and war protection. (This ends up being their downfall.) 
2. Amirana is still engaged to her awful fiancee. On this mission, she encounters Stevnen and it was true love. 
3. In this au, Amirana is able to stay longer based on her diplomatic mission. (The Aviary Inventra scientists are designing and building crafts for long distance travel. Amirana is helping to test each one and offer advisory input.) She stays with Stevnen for two years, get secretly married, and have Hope (Becky).
4. The awful fiancee somehow finds out and goes into an apocalyptic rage. He convinces the other Lexicons that the Inventerans have committed a grievous mistake for getting one of their high, noble, Lexiconians impregnated by an inferior (physically inferior) Inventerans. The fiancee argues that to make up for this error, Amirana should be sent home and Stevnen should be sent to Lexicon to be punished (by death according to the fiancee.) The people and government of Inventra are more than aware, and are not blinded, to the fiancee’s corrupt nature so they refuse. They also try to get other Lexiconians to recognize that the corrupt fiancee needs to be stopped. They unfortunately fail and this causes a massive war between the two planets. The people of Inventra are quickly defeated and the corrupt fiancee leader orders that all Inventerans are to be taken from their home planet and either be killed, kept as prisoners, or low workforce. 
5. Amirana’s good friend (from Amirana’s bio outline) warns her and Stevnen that the friend’s evil brother is coming to Inventra to personally punish the family. Stevnen and Amirana attempt to escape with hope to a ship. Amirana is unfortunately shot and greatly wounded by her fiancee. She urges Stevnen to still escape with their child, and with a heavy and painful heart he does. (Stevnen knows how to fly a ship from reading and from Amirana.) It is a painful, tearful departure between the lovers. Stevnen is able to escape the planet before Amirana’s fiancee and his armada catches him. Amirana is unfortunately killed and her fiancee makes her death justifiable in the eyes of Lexicon. Another note about Inventerans is that they develop a empathetic link with their mates, no matter if they are the same species. So Stevnen definitely feels Amirana’s death. Hope is only 1 1/2 years old when this happens.
6. Stevnen crashes on Earth. (He is a good pilot, not the best.) He gets out of the ship with his daughter tucked close to him. He soon spots the Botsfords on a picnic in a woods. Hungry and desperate, Stevnen shifts to his human form and meets them face to face. The Botsfords take pity on this single father and let them stay at their house for a while until Stevnen gets a job as a scientist.
Character Outlines:
Stevnen Bauxlite (Steven Boxleitner) - Steven changed his daughter’s name to Becky Hope Boxleitner as a part of his plan to erase any traces of themselves to make sure no one from Lexicon can find them. Steven is a bit more serious than his human canon character (This guy suffered a lot of tragedy and is a single father now!) His human form is looks exactly like canon Steven. His Inventeran form is Dr. Two Brains, but without the mouse brain and more mouse features such as a tail and mouse ears. Steven can’t speak the human language (he can understand). He uses sign language or writing words to communicate. When Steven slips to his native tongue, he tells everyone he has a speech problem. Becky and Amirana can understand him because I have this theory that Lexiconians have a great vocabulary as a superpower because this ability allows them to understand any language of a dominant species (not subspecies like animals unless they are from Lexicon, like Bob. Becky is able to understand General Smoochington because of Bob). (I think this is some type of mental, telepathic power, which is why Becky has a great memory.) Steven’s native language sounds like mouse squeaks. (Other Inventerans sound like their were-animal forms but with a mix of other languages that counts as communication on Inventra. Steven does not have the ability that Becky and Amirana have with words. He is knowledgeable, not very bilingual.) Steven still loves Becky and supports her. He is worried about her heroic works so, in his were-form, he joins her heroic escapades as her partner. (A gag throughout this au is that everyone assumes he is her sidekick. Becky has repeatedly pointed out that her dad is her partner. Becky as Wordgirl does not call Steven her dad in public to protect their secret identities. Steven’s hero form is Mouse Ace (I may change the name later, that’s the best I got for now). (Steven was just a scientist with no military rank. I chose this name because he is a good pilot, just not as good as Amirana or Huggy). Steven uses his were-mouse abilities for battle, but mostly relies on self-made gadgets. He acts like a mentor to Wordgirl for her battles, but still behaves as her father (just not openly.) Steven’s Two Brains appearance can look similar to canon or he chooses to wear a ponytail. Steven’s outfit is a black jumpsuit with an orange belt that holds the gadgets. His jumpsuit has orange line accents. Steven has an Inventeran logo on the front of his jumpsuit (it is shiny silver in color and looks like shooting star.) He still has his canon goggles and silver armbands that act as shields for defense. He is afraid of clowns and spiders. He is not afraid of cats. He and Becky just don’t like them.  Becky’s Inventeran form is similar to Two Brains but she does not have red/pink eyes and her hair color is the same. (Becky’s eye color is a mix of her mother’s and her dad’s brown in human form. She does have some red flakes in her eye color in her were-animal form.)
Squeaky - On Inventra, there were regular animals that were used by Inventerans as minor assistants and protectors. Squeaky was Stevnen’s Squeaky also escaped to earth with Stevnen and Becky. In this au Squeaky is still a jerk, but tolerable. Has grown a desire to devour earth cheese only. (There was no cheese on Lexicon or Inventra.) He cares for Stevnen and Becky, but its subtle. Stevnen and Becky can understand what Squeaky is saying. (For Stevnen it is because he is part mouse.) They do not like to always understand what Squeaky is saying. (PS. He swears, though not in front of Becky.) Squeaky may accompany them on hero stuff.(He says he is bored, but he does not like being left alone a lot.) Squeaky wears a mask to hid his identity (idk what color, maybe black or silver), but he is often referred to as Nibbles (Squeaky did not want a hero name so what was Becky supposed to say.) Squeaky is called that because he bites, a lot. (Hates the nickname anyway.) Squeaky is vicious, just not sadistic and evil in this au. Is still afraid of cats in this au.
Here is a smaller outline of my ideas for the swap au. Note: this is also a power swap.
Steven Boxleitner - Professor Robert Tubing
Tobey - Scoops
Victoria Best - Violet Heaslip
Eileen - Kid Math (Rex)
Rose Franklin - Katy (She’s from the episode “It’s Your Party and I’ll Cry If I Want To”)
Squeaky - Bob/Captain Huggy Face
I did not intend to make a lot for this first post. I was intending to do all in one. I do the characterizations of others later.

Stuff You Should Be Reading - Jan., Feb. 2020
Soooo far behind. Pay no attention to the fact that it’s 5/17/2020! 
Supernatural A Place Called Home by my sweet, precious friend & beta @thesassywallflower. The fantastically written series gives us Dean Winchester & OFC Kat - the two people who can save the world. But both of these star-crossed lovers feel they’re unworthy of the other. Can they find their way to sharing their hearts? ‘Not to be missed’ read!!!
Marvel Memory Loss by @captain-rogers-beard is a phenomenal series featuring amnesiac Steve Rogers & former agent Reader. What happens when both the bad guys and the Avengers are racing to get to the Captain?
Dead Sea by @pinknerdpanda is an enchanting Bucky Barnes AU. He and reader are a couple of lost souls that find their way to each other. When loss strikes, will that connection sustain them?
Fourlegged Protector by @stallingdemons is a super-cute RPF featuring Chris Evans and everyone’s favorite pupper, Dodger! Chris & his love can’t figure out why Dodger’s so attentive, but this goodest good boy knows what’s up.
Cold & Broken by @sunriserose1023 writes up one of my favorite tropes - someone’s injured and the other is fighting to keep them alive. But they’re both hiding feelings - - will tragedy push them to reveal the truth?
Foot in Mouth Syndrome by @heli0s-writes is a chaotic, hilarious, and tenderly touching romp between reader, Steve Rogers, and Bucky Barnes, finding their way in this budding relationship.
Warm Hands part 1 by @teamcap4bucky I ha dread part 2 (which is a delight!), and have no idea how I missed part 1! Pregnant reader can’t sleep because a baby supersoldier won’t settle down in there! But her favorite uncle is on his way to the rescue.
Soul Like a Whisper by @stevehesaidabadlanguageword. The trope of not seeing color until you meet your soul mate takes skill to carry off well. This writer does a fantastic job! The imagery is powerful and the story is cleverly crafted.
Roses by @tropicalcap features everyone’s favorite God of Thunder! Thor’s sweetheart is of Midgard, and Thor is determined to follow all appropriate customs for this strange Valentine’s holiday. Sweetness ensues!
You Don’t Have to Say Anything by @sgtjbuccky: when you’re scared of the violent thunderstorm, Bucky is there to comfort you in all his sweetness.
Bloody Roses @the--sad--hatter keeps me in stitches! First of all, the reader’s responses to finding a shot up Winter Soldier in her flower beds sounded a LOT like what mine would have been. Secondly, watching the relationship unfold between these two is a treat.
Ridiculous by @bucky-plums-barnes is an adorable snapshot of Bucky trying hard to be a good boyfriend and help out with decorating. 
Must Haves by @all1e23 is a tender look into Bucky’s heart - the things he can’t live without.
The Witcher Things Unbearable by @anniesburg This writer’s style echoes with the artistry of centuries old fairy tales and modern romance! Geralt is hired to kill a monster, and instead finds true compassion & a gentle soul.

so it took me nearly a year but I finally finished my tvd rewatch! when it originally aired I only watched until about season 3 and then I caught episodes here and there, so this felt like a first watch for the most part. it took me months to watch the first 4 seasons and then I watched the last 4 in the past month or so. s6 was definitely my favorite, and I’m definitely glad I finally watched it all the way through because it was a fun time even though right now I feel like my soul has been crushed. I already have 2 steroline videos started & I can’t wait to work on them!!
I decided to take notes during my watch because my memory sucks especially when I’m binge watching something so I thought I’d post them here for the laughs. please note these are my personal opinions and I mean no offense to anyone (I’m not the biggest klaus fan for example) and also it’s mostly just me gushing over steroline so... fair warning! 😂
s1 - s5:https://unlikely-alliance.tumblr.com/post/633630144612958208/so-it-took-me-nearly-a-year-but-i-finally-finished s6 - s8 below the cut

steroline kiss let’s go let’s gooooooooooo!!!!
okay... 7x01 was a little rocky without elena but they’ve got the spirit I think
from what I’ve been spoiled of I’m gonna guess that alaric is caroline’s flash forward fiancée and I’m already upset about it
enzo in 7x02: anyway here’s wonderwall
this stefan/valerie flashback is making me think... stefan falls very hard very fast (valerie, katherine, elena) but not with caroline & that’s why she’s his soulmate babeeeey!
I’m trying very hard to care about the heretics. they do have their moments
caroline referring to stefan as something she got that she’s wanted for a really long time 💯
I know bonnie and enzo were going to happen at some point but I was still caught off guard with that flash forward in 7x05!
steroline waking up in each other’s arms! stefan referring to caroline as “my girlfriend”! caroline referring to stefan as “my boyfriend”! we stay winning!
stefan.... don’t be lying to caroline..... let’s not start that now

damon to dying lily: you made your bed. have a nice nap. 😯
oh shit it’s not flash forward lily!
not stefan kissing valerie in the flash forward 🖕🏻am I mad? yes. am I furious? ...no
so they made tyler kill liv and then decided his story was not worth telling any more??? where is he?!
they just killed stefan right in front of caroline... AGAIN!
bish I’m gonna need to take a break if the next ep is gonna be stefan and damon enduring their personal hells

ayyyy tyler!!!
let nora and bonnie be girlfriends
stefan: the only constant I had was caroline 🥺
stefan: I will never be happy until damon is out of my life for good 😧
flash forward matt pointing a gun at caroline..... does he want to catch my hands?
steroline casually saying I love you 🥰
I think steroline is one of the only couples I’ve stayed invested in once they are together, their power
where’s enzo been???
THERE HE IS & HE’S SAVING BONNIE!!!!!!!
future matt what the fuck are you doing buddy and who the hell is this woman!!!!???
I WAS NOT EXPECTING A STEROLINE “I AM NOT GOING TO LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU” PARALLEL AHHHHHHH 😭😭😭😭
STEFAN YOU COLOSSAL FUCKING DUMBASS!!!!! WAS THERE NO OTHER WAY TO STOP HER????? YOU JUST HAD TO GET YOUR IDIOT ASS MARKED???????
alaric named one baby elizabeth after caroline’s mom 😭😭😭😭😭😭
did enzo really just knock bonnie out? oh I’ll kill him
I’m gonna need alaric and caroline to stop Looking at each other
not klaus trying to gatekeep caroline from stefan.... laughable
stefan asking caroline to join him on the road MY HEART IS BREAKING AND HE ACTUALLY JUST SAID “I JUST WANT TO SEE YOU, CARE” I AM GONNA FUCKING COMBUST!!!!!!!!!
fuck that scene was heartbreaking why do we have to go through this
and now damon’s gonna desiccate himself... poor stefan
AND NOW MATT IS KICKING HIM OUT OF MYSTIC FALLS?!!!! FUCKING HELL
stefan seeing caroline with alaric and the babies 😭😭😭
and now we’re gonna tack on an emotional af bamon scene???? 7x15 was made to destroy me
the time jumping in 7x16 is giving me a headache
much like last season if they don’t end this season with steroline’s issues resolved I’m going to have a crisis
I can’t believe this whole show is going to end with stefan dying how the fuck am I going to handle that
lol stefan is in a new body wtf is going on now
the vampire in stefan’s body chucking up deuces and jumping out damon’s car window is peak comedy
the stefan/damon brother angst in 7x17 🥺
fuck so we have a sadistic 19th century serial killer turned vampire?! fuck
flashback stefan trying to write caroline a letter fml
fuck he wrote her several letters and she returned them but he kept sending them that’s some strong noah from the notebook energy right there
paul clearly loves playing the unhinged characters 😂

I am thrilled but that break up scene did make me shed a tear
I CANNOT DO A BAMON REUNION SCENE RIGHT NOW
elena, caroline, and bonnie’s initials on the dorm room door 😭😭😭 god they deserved better
enzo is so soft around bonnie 🥺

I AM GETTING THE GUITAR LESSON AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
this present day bamon angst... oof
I AM SORRY RIC HAS BEEN LYING THIS WHOLE FUCKING TIME?????????? CAROLINE IS NOT HIS FIANCÉ???????? WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
enzo laying his head in bonnie’s lap and playing guitar for her 🥺🥺🥺 they are really giving me all my rights this episode

Why Don’t You Kiss Me?
Ship: Madderton
Word Count: 4542
Summary: We’re back in high school, Taron is the smartest student, Richard the captain of the football team. They couldn’t be more different but fate brings them together as tutor and student one day and they realize how much they need each other. While Taron helps Richard through math struggles, Richard starts to become Tarons protector. 
Additional Tags: bullies, highschool, tutoring, FLUFF, soft, cuddles, friends to lovers, first kiss
Part 2
Tumblr media
Taron pushes his glasses up into his face, that are a little too big for him. He sticks his shirt into his trousers and buckles his belt. His hair is a bit of a mess so he tries to tame it, uselessly. He puts on his watch and his shoes. Watching himself as he lets out a small sigh, seeing his eyes that had an undefined color mix of green, blue and brown. Why couldn't he just have a simple and normal eye color? 
His arms are full of all the books he needs for school as he steps out of the bus and walks to the main building. It's a low spring day, the birds are singing and the sun shines in his face. It would’ve been a beautiful day, but every day in high school is a fight.
Taron was smart, really smart, but he was also one of the smaller, quieter and physically weaker boys. And some of the big, loud and strong guys liked to mock him, play pranks or make fun of him. He was so sick of it.
And then there was this good looking boy, captain of the football team. This guy had everything Taron ever wanted. He was someone people listened to, he was taken seriously and people respected him. Sounded like a dream to T. 
Richard puts on his jacket and checks himself out in the mirror shortly, running his fingers through his curls. His blue eyes often appear cold to him and he hates it. He wasn't a tough, stoic guy but his eyes sometimes made it look like he was. 
Rich grabs his backpack, throwing his books inside and sighs a bit. Today they would have math, and god he hated that class. It confused him and every time he thought he understood something, he saw a question about it in his book and felt completely lost again. It was a constant fight with some of his grades, and his parents weren't very pleased about it. 
He meets his friends on the way to the main building and they start joking around like they always did. When he enters the building he can see Taron, the smart guy, whom he shares most of his classes with. He's taking something out from his locker and suddenly one of Richard’s mates runs towards him and gives him a push. "Nerd!" 
"Cole, stop it." Richard says annoyed. Taron’s head hits his locker hard and he groans softly. He looks up when someone touches his arm shortly and stares into warm, deep blue eyes. "You alright?" 
"I-I'm fine." T presses out and swallows hard. Richard Madden himself was talking to him. Was this his lucky day? 
"Good," Rich says and shakes his head slightly. "I'm sorry about my friend's behavior."
"It's okay. Nothing new I guess." T admits and closes his locker slowly. 
"Okay, I'll see you in class then, Taron." he says and walks over to his friends. "God, Cole, get yourself together. How old are you, five?" 
"Why the fuck does he know my name?" T asks himself confused and follows them towards the classroom. 
 Richard watches as Taron walks in, and lets his eyes wander over him. T was pretty, even though those glasses were definitely too big. And damn he's smart. T doesn't know struggles in school or math and Rich could get jealous of him for that. 
The math teacher walks inside and greets them all. "Mr. Madden, have you found a tutor yet?" 
"No, I haven't, sir. I'm still trying to find someone that actually knows math instead of pretending to spend time with me." Richard says and he hates it. But it was the truth. He tried his best to find someone, but most of them were fans of him and it drives him crazy. 
"Well maybe you should focus on school instead of your hobby. It shows in your grades, not only my class." The teacher says while raising his eyebrows a bit. 
"I'm trying my best, sir." Rich says with a smile but can't stop himself from rolling his eyes as soon as he looks away. 
"Mr. Egerton, would you come up here, please, and repeat the things we learned last lesson?" 
Taron nods and gets up. He walks up to the blackboard and starts explaining everything they did during the last lesson. T hates it, it was useless anyway. No one was actually paying attention to those revisions. 
Richard focuses on Taron and listens closely to his words. The things he does are logical and suddenly it all makes sense to Rich. 
 After class Taron grabs his stuff quickly and wants to leave the room when he hears somebody calling his name. He turns around and sees Richard coming towards him. "Yeah?" 
Rich walks next to him to their next class. "I wanted to ask if you could become my math tutor?" 
Taron looks up surprised and stops walking. "Why me?" 
Rich blushes a bit and shrugs his shoulders. "I understood something for the first time when you explained it for like five minutes. You don't have to if you don't want to." 
Taron shakes his head and continues walking. "Of course I can help you," he says and smiles a bit. "We should compare our schedules to see when we have time." 
"Yeah, right." Rich says slowly and rubs the back of his neck. 
"You don't have any of your classes written down, am I right?" Taron asks and looks at the tall boy next to him. 
"Not really," Rich admits and T chuckles softly. "I'm sorry I'm a bit of a mess."
"That's okay. Do you have time today?" 
Richard opens the door and lets Taron in first. "Yeah, you wanna come over?" T nods and Rich smiles thankfully. 
 That afternoon T sea saws on his toes nervously after pressing the doorbell. The door opens and he looks into Richards deep blue eyes. "Hey."
"Hey, come in." Rich says steps aside, closing the door behind him. "Mum! Taron is here, we'll be upstairs." 
Richards mother appears and she shakes Tarons hand. "Hi, I hope you can take care of my lost cause here." she says and fondles over her son's head. T smiles weakly and nods. 
Rich just rolls his eyes and looks annoyed as he walks upstairs with T. He closes his bedroom door and turns the key, locking them inside. 
"Lost cause?" Taron asks and puts his things down on Richards desk. 
Rich growls a bit and opens the window. He looks at Taron and suddenly he looks a bit uncomfortable in his own skin. 
"You don't have to tell me, it's okay." Taron says quickly and opens his backpack. 
Rich walks over to him, hands in his jacket pockets and shrugs his shoulders. "The only thing I'm good at is sports." T raises his eyebrows and looks at him confused. "At least in my parents eyes. They aren't very pleased with some of my grades, which makes me a lost cause, I guess." 
"Okay, first lesson. Never let anyone tell you what you are good at." Taron says and puts his books on the desk. "If you listen to them, it's only a matter of time till you start to believe it too. Which leads to not liking the subject anymore and you actually get bad at it." 
Rich watches him a bit stunned, and now T has got his full attention. "Makes sense."
"And you're not a lost cause, you just need some help. All of us do." Taron sits down and raises his eyebrows at Rich who's still standing in the middle of the room. 
"You don't seem like you need help." Richard says frowning and sits down next to him. 
"Says the one who literally told his friend this morning not to push me into my own locker." They both chuckle at that. 
"Fair point. But you gotta get more self-confident, otherwise people will be pushing you around forever." Rich states. 
"Math is definitely easier than getting self-confidence." Taron says and giggles at Richards shocked look. 
"You know what? You'll help me with my grades and I'll help you with that." Rich offers and looks at T curiously. "Do we have a deal?" 
Taron thinks for a moment biting his lower lip. He had nothing to lose, right? "Deal." he says and they shake hands. 
 An hour later Richard throws his pen aside. "I need a break." he groans and leans back in his seat. "When will I ever need this shit again in my daily life?" 
"Probably never," Taron says and watches Rich who groans in frustration. "But you'll need it for the exam in a few weeks and that's why you need to know it." 
"Oh this bloody exam." he moans and shakes his head annoyed.
T lets his eyes wander over Rich, like he did many times before. He just wasn't used to being this close to him. His eyes are stunningly blue, and his hair dark and slightly curly, with a grey streak at the front. He has full lips and a bright grin. "Don't worry. It seems like you're a quick learner, so it won't be a problem." 
Rich just grins at him and shakes his head slightly in amusement. "I can't believe that you think I'll be able to do it." his eyes wander all over Taron’s face. His eyes are even prettier up close, blueish-green with those brown specks. His sweet smile that let his cute dimples pop up. 
"Just believe in it." Taron says and smiles softly. 
 The next two months they hang out every afternoon studying hard and T didn't show mercy with Rich. When he gave him ten tasks to do, Rich had to finish them. No matter if it took him half an hour or two. And even though it wrecked Richards nerves sometimes, it was what he needed. 
Richard keeps T by his side, enjoying his company and sits next to him in the subjects they share. He kept him safe from the dumb jokes of his mate Cole and most of the others weren't brave enough to mess with T when Rich was with him. 
They became inseparable and good friends, knowing each other’s struggles and understanding each other. Rich became Taron’s physical support, while T became Richards mental support. 
 This Wednesday T is at school a bit early and checking his phone when someone steps in front of him. Taron looks up and sees Cole standing there. "Can I help you?" T asks confused. 
"How are you today, loser?" he asks with a bright grin and comes closer so T has to look up at him. 
Taron looks around shortly to see if he knows someone there, so he could get away from him. "I'm actually fine, how about you, asshole?" 
Cole raises his eyebrows. "Did you just call me asshole?!" 
"Maybe." T says and swallows. It wasn't exactly easy to stick with what he said before and it definitely wasn't normal for him to talk like that to a bully. 
Cole pushes him against the lockers and wraps his hand around his neck. "Who do you think you are, huh?" he hisses at him through gritted teeth and comes closer to him. 
"Probably not who you think I am." Taron says and the grip around his neck gets tighter. But suddenly he can breathe again, and Cole gets pulled back quickly, away from him. 
Rich looks at Cole angrily. "What do you think you're doing?" 
"He called me an asshole." 
"Because you are an asshole." Rich says annoyed and looks at T who watches them both nervously. 
"Are you defending this loser now? You're choosing him over me?" Cole takes a step closer to him and grins madly. "Oh now I know what's going on, he's just your type, am I right?" Richard clenches his jaw remaining silent. "Now I've got you. Careful, Richard. Otherwise, the whole school will know of your little secret." 
Taron’s eyes widen in shock as Richard grabs Cole by his shirt and slams him against the lockers, shoving him up a bit. "Don't you dare." he presses out and his grip gets tighter. "If you ever annoy Taron in any way again, I'll let the coach kick you off the football team. And what are you worth without that, huh?" Cole just laughs weakly and looks into Richards harsh and dark blue eyes. Rich lets go off him and shoots him a glare. "And now fuck off!" 
Richard turns around and walks away quickly. Taron follows him. "Hey, Rich." But his mate just pushes the door open and steps outside inhaling the fresh air. Taron watches as Rich leans against the wall and takes a few deep breaths. "Hey, are you okay?" 
"No." Rich says and looks at him with a weak grin. "I’ve never threatened someone before. And-." he stops himself and looks down at the floor. 
Taron recognizes his shaking hands and frowns. Where was the self-confident Richard he knew? "What did he mean with this secret?" 
Rich looks up with a pained look in his face. "I-All I can say is that I don't want him to reveal it before I do it myself. I don't wanna talk about it right now." 
T sees the insecurity in his eyes and nods. "That's okay. You can still tell me later if you want to."
"Maybe."
 This evening, T lies down in bed and looks up at the ceiling thinking about his day. Richard standing up for him and protecting him today, made his stomach full of butterflies. No one has ever done that before for him. 
But things don’t go as well as they started. Rich doesn’t attend school the next day, and when he comes back, he avoids T, canceling their classes. Taron is clearly hurt because of it and thinks about all the possible things he could have done wrong. But he can't come up with anything, which is even worse. 
 Them not being together all the time draws Cole’s attention. And so Taron finds himself in the bathroom, getting pushed against the wall. The door opens as he gets a brutal punch to his face, straight onto his eye. Taron groans and tries to see clearly again, when he sees Rich stepping in and looking at him shocked. Only a second later Richard pushed Cole outside and walks towards T. 
"Hey, are you okay? Can you see anything?" Rich asks worriedly and watches Taron closely. 
"Why? Am I suddenly important enough to talk to again?" Taron says pissed and walks over to the sink, turning on the cold water. 
"Taron-." 
"No, I'm serious. What is that? Do you like protecting me from the bad guys and rescuing me?" T gets mad now but Rich can hear the hurt in his voice. "Does that make you feel like a good guy?" 
"I'm not that type of guy, Taron." Richard speaks firmly and steps closer to him. 
"You’ve been avoiding me the whole damn week, canceled our tutoring sessions and didn't say a damn word to me. And now you come in here, rescuing me from the bad guy." Taron shakes his head and puts some cold water onto his burning eye. 
"I'm sorry, Taron." Rich admits and stares down at the floor now. 
"What the fuck is going on? Why are you avoiding me?" 
"Because I'm falling in love with you and he realized it. And I don't want him to tell everyone that I like guys, because it's none of their fucking business." Rich bursts out suddenly and bites his lower lip immediately. 
Taron looks up and turns around to face him surprised. "I-I didn't expect that."
"What? That I'm into guys?" Rich asks annoyed and folds his arms in front of his chest. 
"No. That you are in love with me. I mean, why should you?" he asks utterly confused. Richard Madden, the whole school's crush, was in love with him? 
"Jesus Christ, T, is there a reason I shouldn't?" Rich asks and rolls his eyes. 
"Ehm." T points at himself and raises his eyebrows. 
"I-god, mate," Richard growls and rubs his face chuckling. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have told you." 
Taron shrugs his shoulders and smirks at him. "It's okay, I - I'm in love myself you know?" 
"Oh okay." Rich says and his hopes sink rapidly hearing this. 
"My crush has these beautiful blue eyes and dark curls. He is stunningly pretty and the captain of our school team." Taron says and sees how soft Richard’s eyes get. "Let me think, he's an amazing friend, a bit crazy sometimes but in a good way. He always has my back, and he is my favorite person." Taron smiles shyly and looks down on the floor before looking back up again. "You may know him." T scratches the back of his neck nervously. "Maybe you can tell him that there is nothing wrong with falling in love with boys, and that I'm just the same."
"I'll tell him he can trust you with his secrets." Rich says smirking. 
"Yeah, that would be a start." Taron answers smirking and looks down at his feet again. 
 The next day Taron turns up at school with a black eye, bruises covering the skin where Cole punched him. He's wearing sunglasses to cover it up, but Rich recognizes it immediately. 
"My mum will kill me if she sees it. She'll think I got in a fight." Taron groans annoyed walking down the way towards school. 
"Just tell her what happened. It wasn't your fault." Rich says and shrugs his shoulders. 
"No." T says firmly and shakes his head furiously. "I don't want her to be worried about me." 
"Maybe you could stay with me overnight and we'll see how it looks tomorrow." Rich suggests and T nods slowly. 
 And so Taron finds himself next to Rich in his bed that evening. They lie there in a comfortable silence and look up at the ceiling until Rich turns towards him. "Did you mean what you said yesterday? About being in love with me?" 
Taron turns to his side and nods. "Yeah." he sinks into Richards deep blue eyes and bites his lower lip. "Even though I still don't know why you fell in love with me." 
Rich frowns a bit and watches Taron closely. "T, I know you're not the most self-confident person but be honest with yourself. You're an amazing, smart, and sweet guy. You're the most understanding person I know, and it makes me feel safe around you. And I adore your beautiful eyes and that cute smile of yours." he says and frowns when he sees tears in Taron’s eyes. "Did I say something wrong?" 
"No. I just start crying when people are nice to me." T admits and blushes, avoiding Richards look. 
"You're such a softie, it's unreal." Rich giggles and comes closer to him. 
Taron gets a bit anxious again having Richard that close to him and his thoughts are racing. This was the first time that someone he loved, loved him back. He grabs his hand hesitantly under the cover and looks up as Rich interlocks their fingers. 
Richard’s other hand carefully strokes over Taron’s bruised eye. "Does it hurt?" 
"No, it's fine." T says and watches him as he strokes down his cheek. "You saved me before anything else could have happened."
"I'll always protect you, bub." Rich says as his thumb strokes over his cheek. 
"I know." Taron says and can't stop himself from staring at Richard’s full lips. He looks up again shyly and sees that Richard is looking at his lips. "Why don't you kiss me?" Taron asks and his voice is shaking a bit. 
"Because I'm afraid of fucking this up," Rich admits and both smirk a bit. "But I'd love to if you want it."
"Go on then." T says and comes closer to him. 
Rich grabs his neck, softly, and closes his eyes, pressing his lips onto Taron’s gently. He feels Tarons hand on his cheek, cupping his face lovingly. They share a few soft and shy kisses before they stop and open their eyes again. "I could get used to this." he whispers. 
"Me too." T whispers back and fondles over his cheek. 
Richard wraps his arms around him and pulls him close. He places a kiss into Tarons hair and fondles over it. Taron feels safe in his arms and falls asleep fast in the warmth of Richard's embrace. 
 The next morning Richards alarm blasts through the room and both of them wake up groaning. Rich slams his hand onto it, turning it off, and turns back to T who's cuddled into the pillow. Rich strokes over his cheek and watches him worried. "Well, you can still see that someone punched you in the face." 
"Shit," T mumbles and avoids Richard’s look. "I can't show her that. She'll be worried forever." 
"Listen, today is Friday. You could stay over the weekend and we'll blame it on the exam next week." Rich says and fondles over his cheek. 
"What will your parents think?" Taron giggles. 
"They don't care as long as I pass the exam, I guess," Rich says and shrugs his shoulders. He wraps his arm around Taron and pulls him close. "And I'd love to have you here." he says and leans down, planting a kiss on Taron’s lips who's blushing a bit. 
"Fine, I'll call my mum. But I'll have to get some clothes and stuff for the weekend." Taron says and cuddles into Richard. 
"You can have some of mine today." he says and Taron nods.
 Back in school, Taron does get some looks when he's wearing Richard’s jacket with the school logo and his name on it. Rich next to him is wearing a dark green jumper and black jeans, looking absolutely stunning in Taron’s eyes. 
Wearing that jacket gives T a new kind of immunity against Cole and the other guys that loved to make fun of him. Richard’s mother covered his eye with some makeup so no one would notice. 
Taron decided to watch Richard’s training while he did his homework. Sitting around alone in Richards house wasn't an option for him. Afterward, on their way home, Rich grabs his hand and squeezes it softly. "So, we're going to your mum’s place now?" Taron asks when he sees that Rich takes another way. 
"Not directly, but yes. I wanna talk to you about something." Richard says and walks into the park. 
"Okay?" T follows him and they walk the route around the little lake in the middle of the park. 
"I know all of this is happening very fast, but I wanted to ask you something." Rich smiles at him and his heart warms up seeing him in his jacket. "I- Do you want to be my boyfriend?" 
Taron stops walking and looks at Rich surprised. "Really?" 
Rich stops as well and steps in front of him. "Yeah. I love you, T. And I know it's all happening very fast, and if you need more time that's okay. If you don't want to at all that's okay too." 
"You just have to know, I've never been in a relationship before." Taron admits and watches him observantly.
But Rich just shrugs his shoulders. "Me neither. I guess we'll figure it out." 
"Shut up!" Taron giggles. "Richard Madden, the guy the entire school is crushing on, hasn't been in a relationship before?" 
"I haven't." Rich says again and looks down at the slightly smaller boy in front of him. 
"I'm a lucky guy then? being your first." Taron says smiling. 
Richard puts his hands on T’s waists. "Is that a yes?" he asks with a soft smile. 
"Yes." T says and cups his face. He stands up on his toes and kisses him lovingly. 
 The next week Taron is with Richard every day, studying and the closer they get to the exam the more nervous Richard gets. 
Today is the last day to study before the exam and Rich has a complete blackout. He sinks down at the table with his head and stops completely. 
"Rich, come on," Taron says and rubs his back lovingly. "It isn't that bad." 
"I forgot everything. I can't do this tomorrow." Rich says and Taron can hear how hopeless he sounds. "God I'm so fucking stupid, my mum is right, I'm a lost cause." Rich gets up and feels tears of frustration welling up in his eyes. 
"Richard, you're not. Let's just continue later, okay?" Taron tries to calm him and gets up as well. 
"No. It makes no sense anyways." Richard says and bites his lower lip as a tear rolls down his face. He sits down on his bed and buries his face in his hands, leaning forward and bracing himself on his knees with his elbows. 
Taron gets up and walks over to him. He sits down next to him and starts rubbing his back smoothly. "Listen, you're frustrated and can't concentrate. I get it. But giving up is not an option, not the day before the exam." 
"Taron, I can't focus on this shit, and no matter how hard I try, I don't know how to solve these problems anymore." he sits up straight again, tears in his eyes and down his cheeks. 
"Oh come here," Taron says and pulls him into a strong hug. Richard cuddles into him, searching the comfort of his boyfriend. "We're gonna take a break now, maybe get some fresh air and then we'll continue, okay?" 
"Okay." Rich mumbles and closes his eyes, enjoying being near Taron. 
"We won't freak out on the day before. You worked hard and studied a lot and it'll be okay." Taron says and places a kiss on his soft curls. "You're gonna do great, love." 
Rich nods and lies down pulling T with him. He rolls on top of him and kisses him softly, before resting his head on his chest and cuddling into him. "I love you, T."
"I love you too, Rich." he says and fondles over the back of his head gently. 
 A week later, Richard had passed his exam. They told their parents about their relationship, and Richard's team won the big game. 
Taron can't hide a grin thinking back to the evening of the game. 
Rich picked him up happily and gave him the biggest kiss ever. T smiled happily and stood up on his toes when Rich let him down again. "I thought you wanted to keep this relationship between us?" he said as he wrapped his arms around Richard’s neck. 
"I wanted to," Rich said and shrugged his shoulders. He pressed his forehead against Taron’s. "But I love you and you are bloody amazing. I don't care what people think of it, because you're my boyfriend." Rich bopped his nose. "Aand I love you." 
"I love you too." Taron said and watched him adoringly.
"I'm proud of being yours, and I'm not afraid to show it." Richard stated and smiled at his beautiful boyfriend. 
"You're so cute." Taron mumbled and kissed him again cupping his face this time.

Read on AO3
[Chapter 1]  [Chapter 2]  [Chapter 3]  [Chapter 4]
Chapter 5 - Takedown
It was entirely too quiet and it made Jefferson nervous. He’d tried to find out from some of the others what was going on upstairs, but no one had been willing to share.  All he knew was that they’d taken both the women up to the top floor of the house. He figured that didn’t bode well.
It certainly didn’t make his life any easier. If Rab was true to his word then some time today, the joint might of the police and the FBI’s HRT, and probably, just to add icing to the shit cake, a whole squadron of SWAT, was going to descend on the house like the wrath of God.
He checked his phone, just to make sure that it was on, with plenty of power remaining, and that he had a signal. The last thing he needed was to miss the heads up that his handler had promised to send him.
“Hey, Jared.” He started slightly when one of the other guys, Ace - a shortened version of his full name -  called out Jefferson’s undercover persona. “Expecting a call from your boyfriend?”
He gave the man a sour smile, recognizing that he was being mocked and shot back in return, “Least I have one,” and made a rapid up and down motion with his fisted right hand before pointing at the guy who’d called him out.
Predictably the ‘hard man’ took immediate offense, and started toward Jefferson, his eyes full of the intention to hurt. He stood his ground. He was taller than the other man by a few inches, even though the guy was heavier set, forcing the other man to look up as soon as they came toe to toe.
“Was there something?” Jefferson asked sarcastically, then lowering his voice to a dangerous growl added, “Because unless there is… Horace… then get the fuck out of my face.”
“Tough words, pretty boy,” Ace snarled, “but do you got the balls to back em up?”
Faster than the man evidently anticipated, Jefferson grabbed his hand and pulled the pudgy fingers against the front of his jeans, trusting in the shock tactics to keep himself from harm.
“What do you think, Ace?” he asked, leaning down until he was nose to nose with the other man.  “Care to take it for a spin?”
The man backpedaled, pulling away so fast that he almost fell over his own feet in his haste to put some space between himself and Jefferson, snatching his hand away and out of Jefferson’s grasp.
“You stay away from me, you fucking freak!” Ace squeaked.
“Methinks the man protesteth too much,” Jefferson teased. “After all, you were the one that came at me first.”
“Can it, you two!” Jefferson half turned at the sound of the other voice, a tall, leather-clad man with a scruffy beard and a missing hand came out into the hallway from one of the downstairs rooms. “Jared, you’re wanted upstairs. Ace, get in here… quit baiting the bloody man!”
Glad for a reprieve, even if it did come from Jones, an unwelcome bastard at the best of times, Jefferson headed for the stairs and started to climb, on the way up thinking to himself that ‘upstairs’ was a fairly vague description of who needed him, given that there were two floors to the house in addition to the first floor. Not to mention the basement, which technically meant the house was a four storey house and— what the ever loving fuck are you thinking, Jefferson.  Head in the game, man! He cut off his own racing mind; a sure sign of stress.
He made the first landing and began methodically making his way around, room by room, opening each one and checking inside, not just for the girl and her mother, but also for an alternative way out, should his chosen route become inaccessible. He couldn’t explain why, but there was a large part of him that had a really bad feeling around the way the day was going.
Crossing a room, he found a window that looked out onto a low balcony, and looking up he saw what looked like similar from above. It would do in a pinch, but it was risky.  One slip and he’d be looking at a shattered ankle; broken leg… he decided he just better make sure that he could get out by the method of his first choice.
“Oy! Jared,” Jones’ voice sounded from behind him, irritated. “I told you upstairs.”
“This is upstairs,” Jefferson snarked back. “And you weren’t actually that specific, you—” Movement in the corner of his eye made him forget what he had been saying. Someone’s sights? Careless, but then, no… he hadn’t had a message yet. Jones evidently picked up on it and came from the doorway to stand beside him.
“What do you see?” Jones asked.
Jefferson shook his head, about to say nothing - perhaps it had been his imagination after all - when a patch of shadow moved close by the rear wall of the yard, unnatural, not like the clouds passing across the moon. His heart began to pound in his chest. They were coming.
“Bloody hell!” Jones snarled urgently, evidently having come to a similar conclusion. “The law!” He grabbed Jefferson’s arm and practically swung him away from the window and gave him a push towards the door. “Go. Upstairs… warn the others.”
“What about you?” Jefferson asked as Jones turned back to peer into the darkness of the garden.
Jones shook his head. “I’ll go downstairs. We’ll be ready for them,” he said. “What are you waiting for? Go!”
Jefferson made it look as though he was rushing to follow the man’s instructions, once outside the door he slipped to his right, the opposite side from the stairs, and flattened himself against the wall to wait for Jones to come out. He looked around quickly to make sure there was no one else on the landing, relieved to still be alone on the second floor, and he wondered what the hell was keeping everyone either downstairs or up on the top floor, though not for long as he heard Jones’ heavy tread approaching the door.
Like comedy, timing was everything. If he moved too soon, he would alert Jones to his presence. Too late and the man would be out of reach. He hated moments like that; held his breath and pulled the gun he carried out of its holster and waited. One… Two…
Things rarely went according to plan. Jones must have sensed him, because just as he would have moved, stepped behind the man and coshed him over the head with the grip of his gun, Jones turned his head.
“Jared, what the—”
Jefferson tried anyway, lunging for the other man, only to meet Jones’ up-raised forearm and with an audible crunch, instead of the back of is head, and almost as if on instinct, Jones turned and swung the sharp hook he had in place of his missing hand toward Jefferson’s head.
Not fast enough thought, and Jefferson ducked under the weapon, at the same time turning to drive the point of Jones’ hook into the wooden door frame as he pushed the mans wrist against the wood. He tried to follow quickly, to bring his gun up again and wrap Jones into unconsciousness as he’d intended before while he was still stuck with his back to him, but Jones anticipated him again, and used the fact of his hook being trapped to twist his wrist, and pull his arm free of the latch that held the hook in place.
Jefferson ran at the man, wrapped his arms around Jones’ waist and drove his shoulder into the soft spot above his hip, attempting to hook the weight-bearing leg with one of his own, but Jones read him again, and let himself fall backward, heaving with both arms and legs, until Jefferson felt himself flying through the air, mercifully along the landing. He landed heavily, and his gun went skittering along the polished wooden floor.
He didn’t have time to worry about it; didn’t want Jones to get a chance to to reattach his hook, or worse, pull his own gun, which was precisely what Jones was attempting to do as he clambered to his feet, turning toward him gun in hand, so before Jones could aim the weapon, he kicked out blindly, by luck connecting with the man’s shoulder before he could fully straighten up. He knocked him off balance again to slip back down to the floor on hands and feet and the insecurely held weapon went flying. Jefferson didn’t wait to see any other effects of his timely intervention, he just pulled himself to his feet at the same time as Jones, Still winded from the heavy landing and fighting for a decent breath was scrabbling at the floor in an attempt to get to his feet.
Jones was really pissing him off, and was still getting up again, and Jefferson scrambled over, uttering a breathless, “Let me give you a hand there… mate,” mocking an expression of which Jones was overly fond, and speared his fingers into the man’s hair at the crown of his head, and twisting, tugging him upward, while at the same time grabbing a hold of his sleeve. Then before Jones could properly realize his intent, or fully regain his balance, Jefferson launched him toward the banister rail, without letting go, bringing Jones’ head down hard against the solid oak wood at the top, not once, but twice, before tossing him backwards, to land in a crumpled heap beside the wall.
It hadn’t been the quiet disposal he’d intended, and he was certain their scramble would have attracted some attention.  He didn’t wait to find out, simply moved as fast as he could, while still trying to catch his breath, toward the staircase leading to the upper floor.
He took the stairs two at a time, and half way up, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He snatched it out, and glanced at the screen, suddenly bursting into entirely humorless, and slightly hysterical laughter. The notification read: “We are Breaching NOW!”

OK, so a thought; the meta you recnetly reblogged about Namor's hilariously abusive childhood makes me wonder why Namora and Namorita are so well adjusted in comparison. I mean, Nita was raised by her mother's murderer (granted Namora wasn't actually dead)!
I don’t find it very hilarious that Namor was abused as child actually. That meta post is very right and Thakorr was a massive asshole, who punished his only daughter for daring to love someone so below her status, and human, he banished Princess Fen and new born Namor from their people and Atlantis for the first ten years of his life, only returned to be molded into the the crown prince he was born to be. Even then Thakorr’s displeasure wasn’t even hidden, he was a major influence in how Namor saw men in power and why he doesn’t trust men until they prove themselves and why Namor has better relationships and friendships with women in general because he was raised by a single mother, and Fen did love Namor in her own way even if she had a hard time showing it. Fen, Namora, and Lady Dorma were the main people in young Namor’s life who accepted him. 
Namor the First Mutant (2010) #4

Saga of the Sub-Mariner (1988) #2

Sub-Mariner Comics #32

Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Namora’s orgins are a bit of a mess, in the golden age she wasn’t actually Namor’s cousin, Aquaria Nautica Neptuna later called Namora, was first introduced in Marvel Mystery Comics #82 and was created by Ken Bald, not Bill Everett. 
Tumblr media
Her father had been killed and she and Namor team up to avenge his death. It’s later retconned by Bill Everett that she was Namor’s cousin in Sub-Mariner #39.
Tumblr media
Namora was shown with wings and without wings on her ankles several times throughout the years, she was also shown with blue skin as a child. Later in Agents of Atlas we get more background, where it’s told that Namora’s father (who was an Atlantean) was part of a secret breeding program, where the Genetic Scientists of Atlantis would kidnap surface people to mate with them in order to make more people like Namor, because they saw how powerful Namor became. 
Namora’s mother was an surface woman and it was implied that she was an arranged match and not a kidnapping, and later after giving birth to her daughter, she gave Namora back to her father and that Namora had blue skin. The scientists thought they had failed once more but were surprised when Namora’s blue skin changed and she began to display the same strength as Namor. Of course neither Namor nor Namora knew of any of this. 
Agents of Atlas (2009) #7
Tumblr media
Because Namora was seen as one of them before her change and also she wasn’t next in line for the throne and she had her father to protect her, she probably didn’t get abused as much as Namor. The big issue that Thakorr and others had with Namor is that he was half breed who would take the throne and be their ruler, while Namora had claim to the throne, she wasn’t the only one at the time who did, since Namor had a ton of royal cousins.
As for Namorita, she is actually a clone daughter of Namora but by this time this was revealed she was much older, meanwhile as a child the Atlanteans had seen and come to respect Namor and Namora’s strength and them using it to protect their people from the surfacers. So she probably wasn’t teased at all, however when Nita was a child her mother Namora ‘died’ when she was poisoned by Llyra (she was found to be a coma later) then Nita was in a bad and abusive home since Llyra had taken over, so she definitely had it rough for a few years until she found Namor and was sent to live with Betty Dean who become her second mother. Nita had two mothers who loved her and big cousin too, she had things in place to be more well adjusted so I guess its to say that Namor was the focus of all of Thakorr’s hate as he was growing up but Namora and Namorita didn’t have to deal with their Emperor hating them. Nita did face prejudice from her own Atlantean people though, when it was discovered she was clone they banned her from Atlantis because cloning was forbidden. 
The New Warriors (1990 ) #44
Tumblr media
So it’s not like any of them had super great childhoods but Namor definitely had it rougher because he was expected to go to war and had been molded by his mother and grandfather to be a weapon for Atlantis. He still doesn’t see himself as a worthy person, he has massive issues, and also everyone who comes to care for him dies at one point, he always puts himself on the front lines because despite his childhood he sees himself as a protector and is always willing to risk his own life for the safety of others. Him being a massive asshole is a defense mechanism he had to learn in order to survive his childhood.

Stray kids reaction to their s/o getting injured playing sports
Tumblr media
😘thanks for the request!! I hope you like it. I only did the first part of your ask I’m super sorry!!! It’s just that’s where I could write more, I hope you don’t mind😘
😊FYI when I say football, I mean soccer!! It’s just I’m British and saying soccer makes me cry lol😊
Bang Chan:
It was your biggest match ever and things just kept going from bad to worse. First your doubles partner tells you they’re sick so they might not play to their best, then your parents call to tell you they can’t make it and finally and possible the most ridiculous of them all, you fell down the stairs this morning and really hurt your ankle.
The moment is here, the biggest match of your life so far, and you serve first. You jumped up from your crouched position, letting go of the ball as you did so. The serve was great, and ace in fact, however your landing from the jump... not so great. You fell to the ground in agony and the game stopped, a few medics at the tennis club rushing to you accompanied by your boyfriend Chris. The concern in his eyes made you feel guilty, after all it was just a twisted ankle nothing particularly major but Chris didn’t care what it was, he never wanted to see you hurt.
The game was called off and you were told you could go home after getting your foot wrapped. Chan carried you all the way home, apologising for not bringing his car. When you reached your house he took you to your bed and tucked you in even though it wasn’t even close to night time. He went to get you some pain killers and a glass of water and upon return decided to grab your favourite comfort food, ice cream! He couldn’t bare the thought of you in pain and tried to gather everything he could to make you happy, but little did he know all you wanted was him.
Tumblr media
Woojin:
The clock struck 12 and you were all called into the studio, leaving friends and family in the waiting room. One of the biggest dance teams was holding auditions and Woojin had encouraged you to go. You were amazing at dancing after all. You never expected the audition to be in front of everyone, you thought maybe just the dance captain and a few other important people, but no, it was everyone.
You weren’t going to lie, not having Woojin there made you slightly more anxious but there was no way you were messing this up. You were called up to dance towards the end, a lot of the “audience” were becoming bored so they weren’t really paying attention, which you were thankful for when you tried to execute a one handed cartwheel but collapsed. You stood up and ran out of the studio to the best of your ability, holding your arm and trying not to cry. Woojin quickly stood up and went to hug you but he saw your arm and how you were protecting it. Without saying anything he grabbed your other arm and rushed you to A&E, only then asking you want happened.
You discovered it was a sprain and the nurses gave you strict instructions of what to do and what not to do, Woojin listening intently so he could look after you to the best of his ability. Upon returning home, he asked you if you wanted him to stay the night, but you didn’t really have a choice. He told you to sit down on the sofa while he made dinner for the two of you, even asking if you wanted him to feed you, half joking half not.
Tumblr media
Lee Know:
You were extremely prone to injury, only yesterday walking into the side of the bed and stubbing your toe. This definitely wasn’t a good thing when it came to sport but you enjoyed it so much, field hockey being the one you were most passionate about. Today was the semi finals of a national competition and as much as he protested because “it was boring” you forced Minho to watch. He sat in the crowd the first half of the game, watching with a close eye making sure the other team weren’t playing dirty. The second half however, he sat back in his chair and watched you play, as ungraceful as hockey was, you still looked beautiful and he couldn’t take his eyes off you. Which is why he was the first to notice when someone on the opposing team tried to Ariel flick the ball and failed, hitting your chest with extreme force. Struggling to breathe you signalled to your manager that you wanted to come off. You walked straight into the tunnel, leaving your teammates on the bench in bewilderment. Minho had rushed down to you, somehow getting past all of security. He hugged you which he realised then wasn’t the greatest idea but it was the thought that mattered. Your manager broke up the meeting and told you to see the medical team so you did so, holding Minho’s hand the whole time hoping to forget the pain. In order to make you forget about it, Minho kept making jokes, but that only made your chest hurt more and made the nurse fall in love with Minho more, but who could blame them. When you were discharged, Minho didn’t let you out of his sight. Not that he’d admit it but he really did feel like crying for you. For you to be in so much pain and for it to draw you from your favourite sport he knew must have been bad and it hurt him to see that, after all he was your protector and he let something bad happen to the baby.
Tumblr media
Changbin:
Your first day back training with your football team. You missed them all so much and you couldn’t wait to introduce them all to your boyfriend after the training session. You started off gently, simple penalties and a few passing drills. As stupid as it sounds, during one of these drills, you stopped the ball with the sole of your foot then unconsciously moved your foot forward causing you to fall back. At first it was funny, actually it never stopped being funny, but it didn’t half hurt your spine when you fell back.
Your coach told you to sit at the side until training was over, not wanting to hurt your back anymore. After a few more drill it was finally time to go, Changbin coming up to the side of the pitch looking for you. You stood up with pain shooting through you and walked as normally as you could over to Changbin who noticed something was off. He wrapped his arm around the middle of you back and told you that he had you, all your friends whooping in the background. Changbin smiles to himself then at you, but he noticed you were still wincing in pain. He walked a little quicker, practically carrying you this time. The dorms were closer than your house so you went there instead. The boys tried to talk to you which you obviously didn’t mind but Changbin fended they off, almost dragging you to his and Chan’s room and making you lay down in his bed. He joined you, careful not to hurt you even though the pain had pretty much gone now and made a fuss of you until you were asleep. No matter how many time you told him it no longer hurt, Changbin wasn’t having it and continued to give you back rubs while giving you little pecks on your lips occasionally.
(This gif is EVERYTHING I’m not a Changbin stan I s w e a r)
Tumblr media
Hyunjin:
You and Hyunjin often went swimming together, it was like your thing. The pair of you were known there by many and you had lots of friends who also swam there. You never really classed it as sport or “working out” because it was just so fun. The pair of you would just swim around, sometimes racing against each other for fun. Back stroke with neither of yours strong points so that’s what you chose to focus on. After about half an hour, and after the few days of practicing beforehand, you hosted your weekly mini race. You were behind him slightly so you decided you try even harder. Not realising the wall was so close, you bashed the top of your head on it. Your jaws snapped together and your eyes shut, hoping it would dull the pain a little. You didn’t realised the sound was so loud. Since it was only you and Hyunjin in the pool it wasn’t too embarrassing. The life guard came over to check on you and to help you out of the pool, followed by Hyunjin who was trying his hardest to keep up with you after tiring himself out in the pool. You sat on the plastic chairs by the side of the pool and you thanked the life guard telling him you were okay now. Hyunjin knelt in front of you with sorry eyes. His hands rested on your thighs and after a while he stood up and kissed your soaking wet hair, right where you bumped your head. You stood up too, grabbing his hand and telling him to get changed and wait for you in the reception area. You were constantly on his mind while you changed. What if you’d fainted in there? What if no one was in there to look after you if anything bad happened? Just as he went to text you, you came out and smiled at him. He rushed over and hugged you asking if you felt okay, promising that if you didn’t he’d take great care of you, but he did that anyway.
Tumblr media
Jisung:
Juxtaposing Jisung’s hatred for sport and physical activity, you loved sport! Your running team was your second family (Stray Kids being a close third) and you don’t know what you’d do without them. Your school entered you into a competition meaning you’d have to go against your running friends, but that didn’t stop you from giving it your all. You started on the inside lane, you didn’t really have a choice since you were the last to arrive. To your right you spotted 2 other members of your “squad” and you wished them luck, them doing the same back to you and then to each other. You then turned to see Jisung in the stalls with a massive sign, ready to cheer you on. The pistol went and every runner gathered to the inside lane pretty quickly, legging you up and leaving you face first on the track. You chin was cut open and your knees, elbows and hands all grazed. You hobbled of the track, assisted by one of the event staff who took you up to the “first aid station” where they wiped your chin and all the dirt from you and the staff took you up to Jisung who already has his jacket off, prepared to wrap you up in. With that now around your shoulder and Jisung’s arm around you, you felt immediately better, cheering on your team mates because of you can’t win then you hoped they could. Jisung looked at you with admiration and planted an unexpected kiss on your cheek. You were injured, yet that still didn’t stop you from being the best friend anyone could ever wish for, and also being the best s/o he could ever wish for. But that didn’t stop him teasing you about your chin.
Tumblr media
Felix:
Badminton was such a vital part of your life. You played every day at the local sports centre and entered yourself into every competition, winning them all with Felix cheering from the side of the court after every point winning hit. You were friends with all the people who went to the same centre too, you often played against them and it was good practice.
One day, after school, you and a close friend, along with Felix who just went to watch, decided to go and play even though you’d already been there in the morning. They told you of the new racquet they’d purchased and how light it was compared to their old one. A few sets down and you were both beginning to get tired, your friend more than you. The shuttlecock came toward them and they swung their racquet in an unusual movement, it came straight out of their hand and hit you in the face. You held back the tears and forgave them straight away, knowing your friend didn’t mean it. They both rushed towards you and Felix politely told you friend to go home and get some rest. He held your face and checked for injuries, nothing visible, he confirmed.
You returned home and he gave you an ice pack with a towel wrapped around it to place on your face where ever it hurt. He sat next to you on the sofa and brushed his arm against yours. No matter what was happening, Felix always stayed playful and cheerful which you were super happy about. He challenged you to a game of mario kart which of course he let you win and later ordered your favourite take out as your prize.
Tumblr media
Seungmin:
You never really played sport, preferring to stay at home where you couldn’t get hurt. Seungmin had bugged you since you guys had started dating that he was gonna teach you how to play cricket, once he learnt too. He’d been going to lessons with your dad, in hopes your father would like him more, even though he already loved him. Finally the day had come and you’d agreed to go to the park with him and all his “relevant” sports gear which seemed pretty excessive to you. He told you that you could bat first and showed you how to hold the bat like the real players do. You stood impatiently waiting for him to throw the two coloured ball at you while he teased you, pretending to throw the ball but not actually letting go. When he did throw it, you were ready, you swung the bat back and you felt something weird in your back. You’d pulled a muscle, great. You couldn’t face telling Seungmin, he wanted to do this for so long and you didn’t want to ruin it now. You continued in great pain, you hit the ball and returned to your normal stature letting out a little grunt in pain. He rushed over and you dropped the bat instinctively. He rubbed your back, knowing exactly what you had done, telling you how silly you were not to tell him. He picked the bat up and packed away all his equipment, keeping an eye on you as he did so. He walked you back to the dorms where you were sleeping that night and supplied you with a hot pack and some soup like his mother used to do after he hurt himself during a baseball game. Of course he’d tease you slightly, laughing at how you did it on your first swing, but you’d obviously give it back to him, bringing up all his injuries from his baseball career as a little boy.
Tumblr media
I.N:
Cheerleading was your thing! You were cheer captain since you came to the school and rightly so, you were so talented and everyone knew it. But of course there was always someone on the team who was jealous. The start of a new year meant new comers, all of which thought they deserved your spot more than you. You were always at the top of the pyramid but just to please this one girl, you said she could be at the top, you joining your best friend on the next layer down. Practicing was fine, it all went really smoothly and the girl above you was super light.
The night finally came of the big game and you all prepared to do the pyramid after doing a little bit of the routine. The bottom few layers formed and you and your friend stretched slightly but you couldn’t concentrate on that when you saw your boyfriend in the audience with a huge smile on his face. This was the first time he’d ever seen you perform and he was not disappointed. You and your friends reached the top and the girl climbed on top of you. Something felt strange, a numb feeling making its way across your back as the girl above you dug her knee in harder. You couldn’t take it anymore. You collapsed under her and caused the whole pyramid to fall somehow. You ran off the pitch crying, you weren’t in too much pain but you knew that was your cheerleading career over. Jeongin rushed down, spotting you and sprinting towards you. He extended his arms and his hands gripped hold of your upper arms telling you that everything was going to be okay. He swung his back pack around and handed you a tissue before putting a hand on your back and accompanying you to the door of the changing rooms.

Gonna steal your question and ask for your top 10 ships of all time for Valentine's Day :D
Ok this is super late (and also super fucking long) because it took forever to narrow down my top 100 ships to only 10, but here we go:
1. Ron & Hermione (Harry Potter)
Tumblr media
My very first OTP and still my favorite.  Their slow burn development from enemies to friends to lovers makes this the best relationship of the entire HP franchise.  Haters can deny it all they want, but these 2 have always and will always belong together.  Harry & Hermione would be together if Ron wasn’t around?  Nope, Hermione and Harry was pining for Ron when he was away in Deathly Hollows.  Ron & Hermione will get divorced because of their arguments?  Lol you thought, they are planning to renew their vows after 20 years of marriage.  I’m sort of gloating now, but Idc because this is one of the very few endgame ships I have.
2. Zuko & Katara (A:TLA)
Tumblr media
In the exact opposite of what happened with Romione, this was my first ship that wasn’t canon and the first one to make me cry angry tears over the fact.   Zutara introduced me to the dark side of my fangirl, engaging in shipping wars, hating on Bryke for not getting them together even tho I should’ve known it was never gonna happen.  I’m not proud of everything my preteen self did in the Avatar fandom, but *tune of God Bless the USA* I’m proud to be a Zutarian, where at least there’s fans like me  They are twin flames, 2 sides of the same coin, and forever friends.  Plus, Dante Basco and Mae Whitman shipped them, so neener neener neener.  (Sorry, my 12 yr old fangirl came out a bit)
3. Katniss & Peeta (The Hunger Games)
Tumblr media
#RelationshipGoals  That is all.  Ok, not really.  I love seeing a hardened badass fighter like Katniss with such a gentle soul like Peeta.  He is her anchor, she is his passion, and I am their bitch.  No matter how many times I read the books or watch the movies, I fall to pieces over them in the best way.  And to think when I first started reading the books, I was convinced Peeta would end up dead because all the signs seemed to be pointing that way.  I’ve never been so glad to be wrong in my life.
4. Magnus & Alec (Shadowhunters)
Tumblr media
Let me start this off with #SaveShadowhunters.  I will miss Malec, I will miss the Malec fandom and I will especially miss the showrunners being so lovely to the fans.  After being disappointed by JKR, Bryke, Plec, and Shonda, it is such a relief to feel validated by a creator.  Todd, Darren, and Matt Hastings are real supporters of the LGBT community who actually listen to fans’ concerns and fight to include as much diversity as they can get away with.  I’ve never watched a show that treated an interracial same sex couple the same (or imo better) as all the other couples.  Magnus & Alec had me at “Who are you?” with their amazing chemistry.  I love one badass shadowhunter/warlock team who are also adorable boyfriends.
5. Jackie & Hyde (That 70s Show)
Tumblr media
Sigh…..what could have been.  I will never understand how the writers could throw out such an amazing relationship after so many years together.  Jackie & Hyde are the epitome of the Opposites Attract trope.  Hyde is a sarcastic little shit and Jackie is a materialistic snob and they love each other exactly as they are.  He keeps her grounded and she makes him open up.  Since I don’t consider season 8 canon, I like to imagine Hyde opening up his own record shop in Chicago so that Jackie could pursue her dream.  They’re still together.
6. Isak & Even (Skam)
Tumblr media
Just look at these pure babies!  You should really watch this show if you haven’t already.  I think you would love them and I don’t mind spoiling that they’re endgame so you don’t have to worry about that.  Evak probably have the hottest chemistry of everyone on this list, but they’re also 100% soft boyfriends.
7. Bonnie & Jeremy (Vampire Diaries)
Tumblr media
TVD is responsible for at least a quarter of my ships, but Beremy was my first OTP from the show.  After watching everyone treat Bonnie like little more than a magic wand for over a year, it was nice to see someone want her simply for her.  Jeremy didn’t care about what Bonnie could do for him, he genuinely admired her strength and morals.  Bonnie stopped seeing him as her best friend’s kid brother and saw him for the hot, strong protector he is.  I will never forgive the writers for ruining their relationship twice, but I still head canon that Bonnie & Jeremy reunited as adults.
8. Harry & Uma (Descendants)
Tumblr media
My favorite thing about Huma is that Harry is a hook wielding maniac who is also completely head over heels in love with Uma, a beautiful black girl who is Captain of their pirate crew.  He is unapologetic in how utterly devoted he is to her and even tho she keeps her feelings close to the vest, it is obvious Uma has a soft spot for her First Mate.  My least favorite thing about Huma is that despite the overwhelming evidence, I still don’t know if they’re an actual couple.  I hope D3 clears that up.
9. Dante & Ari (Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe)
*There are plenty of amazing fan art of them, I just couldn’t decide which one to post*
You should read this book if you haven’t already, it classic coming-of-age queer literature.  Ari is an introverted smart ass kid with no friends until he meets cinnamon roll Dante.  These are my favorite type of relationships to see/read, especially when its a slow burn like this.  Idk what else to say other than how much I love these two makes my heart ache in a good way.  Right after finishing the book, I went back and reread my favorite parts.
10. Kelly/Yorkie (Black Mirror)
Tumblr media
My favorite wlw ship only appears on 1 episode of a tv anthology, that’s how amazing they are.  I relate so much to Yorkie, uncomfortable in my own skin and socially awkward.  All I want is someone like Kelly who can bring me out of my shell, but still love me for who I am.  Their relationship honestly gives me hope that even someone like me (with little relationship experience) can maybe find love.  You know, if I ever leave my damn house for anything other than work.

Adrift- Chapter 2:
< Previous | Next >
Last time: A plain looking plus sized woman comes aboard the ship that had been docked for weeks. She’s the captain’s newest toy and she tells him about Bangtan Island where riches await and girl do to. The ship’s poet, Hoseok, is excited for his heart longs to the sea. However, his heart longs for the captain’s girl as they spend time together. A storm occurs, and they blame the woman. He doesn’t want her to go, but even as she asks him to come with her he can’t join her. She’s not human. Then what is she?
Tumblr media
Sailor Hoseok was put into the brig, but he still wrote when there was enough light and the ocean was steady. He had never felt so homesick in his life. Usually, the sea was his home, but now it felt like hell. He missed his mom a lot and even wrote about her.
My mom’s voice That I hear is clear What I remember is My mom’s strength back then was my curve ball For real I was determined to be successful With that one promise I became the son I am now
Hey mama I’m sorry mama For realizing now how much you’ve done for me, mama
Hey mama So thanks mama For being my blood and flesh, mama
The captain returned today, trying to ask him questions he didn’t know the answer to.
“What did you and the sea hag talk about when she was away from me?”
“Nothing but my poems. She was interested in them, and so I showed them to her.”
He faked his kindness, “I’m yer friend here, Hoseok. Tell me what kinds a poems were dey? Were dey love poems?”
Hoseok was honest, “Yes, but no woman ever graced my pages. My one and only love has been the ocean. The sea in all her shimmering beauty could never compare to--”
“Enough with that malarkey! Why did she ask you of all the men on my ship to come with her? What as this second chance she was talking about?”
“I don’t know, captain! That’s the first time I ever heard her ask me such a question. I swear to you!”
Captain Eumgyeong knocked over his stool in anger, “Fine! You don’t wanna tell me the truth! Stay in ‘ere then! Waste of my time!” He walked away and back to the surface, taking his lantern with him.
Before (Y/N), every poem he wrote that any inkling of true love was about the sea. Her waves. Her hidden treasures. Nothing else could compare until it swallowed his goddess whole. She was so different that the usual women who managed to seduce and steal from the captain and disappear the next morning with a new treasure of her own and probably some tropical disease.
Jimin came down a few minutes later, “Are you ok?”
“I’m as good as can be. How long did the captain say I’m stuck down here for, or is it just when he’s done being mad?”
“When we reach land again, you have to do some convinvin’ if you wanna stay. You’ll be free, but he’s pretty mad. Even Sailor Yoongi got some crap for persuadin’ Cap to let her come along.” Jimin laughed. “He threw it back in the captain’s face, and I was sure he was gonna challenge Yoongi to a duel.”
Hoseok begged Jimin for the details. Apparently, it was only a few hours after he had been put down here. Jimin was dancing as he usually did to cheer up the remaining shipmates, and the captain had been muttering under his breath. Yoongi heard his name and told the captain to speak up. Captain Eumgyeong yelled and said that it was Yoongi’s fault they had lost their sailors because he tricked him.
Yoongi had replied, “You’re the captain. You have the final word, don’t you? I’m just a sailor. I’m under your rule. You have no one to blame but yourself, Captain Eumg-yeong.”
Hobi laughed. Of course he would’ve said that. After giving Hoseok some food and water, Jimin went back up before he got in trouble. The black-haired lonely sailor soon fell asleep after eating the stale bread. He dreamt about (Y/N), but in a form he had never seen before with his own eyes.
It started with her on the plank in the storm. He decided to go with her. Hoseok didn’t even like his captain, so he had not much to lose other than two friends. And he loved her, why not go? They hold hands and jump together, feet first into that greedy waves. As they are both submerged in water, he had trouble breathing. Was it because of the cold or the sight before him?
(Y/N) began to change and transform. Her top was the same but seemed like it was embedded with the sun. As his eyes went down her frame, her legs got more slender, and soon enough, they weren’t even legs at all. It was a fish tail made up of the most glorious greens and blues. Hints of purple here and there making sure the viewer knew this was nothing short of magic.
He began to choke, but she kissed him. When their lips met, he was able to breathe as if he were on land.
“I promised you that you’d be safe, Hobi.”
Then she swam while holding his hand. A rough ocean bump woke Hoseok and he wrote. He wrote about a women, a human or whatever woman for the first time in his life. He didn’t need freedom. He just wanted her, wanted her to be ok. Even as he wrote, he wanted her to read his things. He craved her support..and more paper. He threw all his poems about her and for her out the small porthole in the chance his dream was real and she would be able to somehow read them.
But you’re my everything (You’re my) Everything (You’re my) Everything (You’re my) Please go away huh
I’m sorry (I hate u) I love you (I hate u) Forgive me
I need you girl Why am I in love alone, why am I hurting alone I need you girl Why do I keep needing you when I know I’ll get hurt?
I need you girl, you’re beautiful I need you girl, you’re so cold I need you girl (I need you girl) I need you girl (I need you girl)
The walls became his canvas when he was out of paper. It wasn’t until Yoongi unlocked the bars that he finally woke up.
“You gonna come out, or are you gonna stay in there? And it better be the latter ‘cuz Cap wants ta talk ta ya before we’re allowed to go on land.”
Hoseok got out and knew he smelled horribly. It didn’t matter. He walked out and was saddened by the lack of mates that were left. The breath that filled his lungs was more air than seawater, and it felt like he hadn’t had oxygen in forever.
“Get yer arse over here, Hoseok!”
“Yes, Captain.” He jogged to a place around the man.
But it was the same as always. They were allowed to go on land for however long. The main job was to recruit more sailors to join them on voyages. They had to make sure they were skilled and had sailed before.
“No more en’tainers. We’s enough of them already.” His eyes stared glassy daggers at Hoseok and Jimin. “Also, I’m goin’ ta see if that sea hag was tellin’ the truth about Bangtan Island. If it’s as popular as she says, someone round her must know ‘bout it. Dismissed...men.”
Before the storm, there were about 35 men on the ship. Now, it was just Yoongi, Jimin, six of the jerks, Cannonball Bang, and Hoseok. Ten. Only ten were left after the horrible storm. They weren’t great people, but they were decent sailors. Family, nonetheless.
Captain Eumgyeong went to the nearest tavern and asked for their biggest pint of whatever, and most of the other men did the same. He put down a bag of golden coins to let her know it’d be covered. The barmaid was fine with it. He looked around and saw a lot of brown eyes surrounded by brown skin and braids and curls. Freckles on some. Others were obviously mixed children. Others skin as pale as the moon with eyes sharp as rocks. Sunken eyes. Blues. Greens. Mixes and matches of all sorts.
All in all, it was diversity heaven. He knew he’d get some answers. His first question was to the barmaid who had her orange curls held in several braids that sprouted every which way.
“Miss, have you heard of a place called Bangtan Island.”
She grinned and her eyes glittered, “Of course. It’s not too far off. Many of the people here were born and bred on that very island. That’s how we bought this land for ourselves, our ancestors anyhow. It seems to be where all the riches from sunken ships go ta’ if you ask me.”
“So it’s real?” One of the jerks asked.
“As real as you need it to be. Only those with pure souls make it past the barrier, though. Steep jagged rocks home to the island’s protectors.” The woman handed a young man in a straw hat his drink. “Many are afraid to go after hearing about it.”
“I ain’t.”  Captain Eumgyeong replied. “My remaining men aren’t afraid, and if they are, they can piss off.”
The Barmaid asked what he was talking about, and he shared his sad story about the woman and the sea. How he was lied to and maybe betrayed by one of his men. He looked around.
“Where is that raven now? He’s got black hair and talks a lot. Writes a lot too.”
Hoseok was in the tavern with his back to the captain, his head lost in thought, silent as a tomb. Inside his mind, he wondered if he had gone crazy down there in the ship’s prison. He had never written that much in such a short period ever, and never about a human unless the captain or someone asked. And why would he have thrown them out the window?
Crazy. Absolutely nuts.
But did she get them? He wondered, head in his hand. The other was firmly gripped on a mug of something yellow. Yoongi and Jimin came to sit next to him with drinks of their own. They pat his back.
“Glad you’re back above sea level, dude. Why did she even ask you to come with her in the first place.” Yoongi asked.
“It should’ve been me.” Jimin pouted and laughed, trying to bring up the mood.
Hobi shook his head, “I have no idea. I don’t know why she asked me.” 
He looked back to see the Captain being surrounded by girls as they sung to him. The local performers. They seemed incredibly pretty as they were in corsets that thinned their waists and made their hips the focus of their body along with their blossoming bosoms. They sang about Bangtan Island and the hope and riches it brought. Captain was paying so much attention to them that he looked like he was in a trance.
Yoongi took a sip, “Have you written anything while down there? Anythin’ we can look forward to?”
“Well, I did write, but they all flew out of the window while I was asleep. There was nothing to keep them still down there. I’ll probably make something sooner or later. Might focus more on dance.”
Jimin smiled, “Yay! I missed my dance partner.” He looked around and his smile fell. “It feels so empty without the others.”
“A lot of them were assholes.”
“Still. Some of them were just led astray into asshole life, but they were good men.”
Hoseok scoffed, “An even better woman drowned, and they always bullied me. I feel no pity. Just sorta wished it had been more peaceful.”
This was a surprise coming from Hobi, the sunshine of the crew. The one that made everyone happy just with a short conversation and a smile. His two friends couldn’t understand how much he had been through in such a short period of time, and he didn’t try to explain. They just figured those guys had been meaner to him than they knew.
Captain Eumgyeong’s bass voice bellowed out, “A ROUND OF DRINKS FOR EVERYONE! Tonight we party in the name of beating death!”
Jaunty tunes played and Jimin got his friend to dance with him. Captain Eumgyeong bragged about them, gaining his own popularity. Drinks on drinks on drink were had and sobs turned into laughter and turned into drunken sobbing. Pretty girl and gorgeous boys and beautiful people of all sorts flirted with one another.
Right, they had to get new sailors. A small and scrawny boy about age 17 with a rabbit smile caught Jimin’s attention. He was a fisherman who had snuck into the bar with his friend Taehyung who had the idea in the first place since he was older.
One of the men working there as a chef seemed to have gained the favor of Cannonball and the Captain and was asked to come along. He said that he’d think about it since he wasn’t too appreciated here. A guy named Namjoon had come in and was known as the local tinker. He was always making new things, and and old friend of Yoongi. They caught up and was invited to join the voyage.
Hoseok was feeling much better, but he still decided to take a step outside and get some fresh air since it smelled pretty rank in there. As he started on his walk, he thought he saw (Y/N) again. He couldn’t help but run after her through the cobblestone streets. Around all the corners, he followed the slight glow that trailed behind her.
She stopped in front of the sea and waited for him, a red glow from a local party contrasting the natural blue of the night. It was her. It was definitely her.
“It really is you.”
“Hi, Hobi.”
“A lot of men died.”
“Wasn’t my decision. They were bad ones anyways.”
He nodded. She wasn’t wrong. In the pale moonlight, he scales twinkled.
“You’re not human, are you?” He asked.
She shook her head, “Nope.”
“You’re a mermaid.”
“A sister of the sea. Yes.”
“How?”
She held his hands and put her forehead against his.
This Captain had been her lover since they were teenagers. He trusted her with everything he had. Most of her men did, too. Anyone who dare challenge him was killed or threatened. You were the love of his life.
“We sail together, or we drown together my dear. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere without you in life or death.” He kissed you while sailing under the precious full moon.
Then a horrible storm approached and they turned on you and the other women that resided on the ship. It was just a rumor that the sea gave bad luck to ships with female passengers, but it was one that her lover believed after they rescued flailing sailors.
Still, he stood there, feather in his hat, patch on his eye and said it wasn’t his fault the sea demanded her as a sacrifice. What he meant was that it wasn’t your fault he loved the sea more than you. He wanted to keep his men and his ship more than he wanted you. So the man who had spread the poison jabbed his sword at the women.
“I always thought that we’d drown together my love.”
He looked away and the women decided anything was better than to be where they were now. They welcomed the icy embrace of the unforgiving ocean. He would kill them swift if he really wanted them. Instead, they were held in warmth and untied as they died and their lungs filled with the sea’s essence.
Instead of complete death, the ocean was calm this far down and kissed them awake. Their legs stayed bound, but they became something more than legs as the rope was taken away by an invisible presence. They could breath now. You could breathe now. The ocean was a part of you, and you were a part of it.
“Maybe we won’t drown together, but you surely will, my so-called love.”
Hoseok gasped, “I’m so sorry.”
“Don’t be.” Her eyes had an iridescent shine to them as well, “I really do like you. My past is just that. I want my future to be with you. Will you join me?”
Again, he refused. I like you too, but I can’t do that. I’m sorry.”
She furrowed his brows, “I can only ask you this once more before we can never be together again.”
“Then don’t ask again. I don’t belong in the sea, (Y/N). I belong on it.”
She smiled sadly and swallowed, “If that’s what you believe, then I shall not ask again. See you soon, Hoseok.”
And she left to swim in the sea, leaving behind footprints that glowed blue in the night time sand.
