Dating Steve Harrington and Being Dustin’s Sister

headcanons

summary: what it’s like to date everyone’s favorite babysitter as a henderson (lowkey enemies to friends to lovers)

WARNINGS: swearing, mentions of canon typical violence, probably some plot inconsistencies bc i don’t remember anything that happened in season two

pairing: steve harrington x fem!reader (henderson!reader)

a/n: i realized that i’ve never written for steve so i wanted to do some headcanons that actually got really out of hand and long but it’s okay !! <3 send in some st4 requests if you want :) i also just posted a few more headcanons for steve x henderson!reader here so check those out if you liked this one :))

*not proofread* *no spoilers for st4*

You met Steve during his “King Steve” phase.

The two of you went to school together, you being a year younger than Steve and much less popular, choosing to spend your time studying or hanging out with your little brother and his friends.

You were the original babysitter for the party, often getting stuck watching over them during your free time because of your closeness to Dustin, in particular.

However, you were also close with Nancy so of course Steve had been introduced to you while they were together.

Initially, you weren’t very fond of Steve. The two of you often butted heads while Nancy tried to play the peacemaker.

It didn’t help that you happened to be very close with Jonathan Byers, who Steve and his friends loved to torment relentlessly. You felt a lot of sympathy for Jonathan. Between getting bullied at school and his brother’s disappearance, he was going through a lot.

Your final straw with Steve was when he broke Jonathan’s camera. Even though Steve eventually apologized and Jonathan forgave him, you just couldn’t bring yourself to see past it.

In your mind, Steve Harrington was the biggest douchebag in Hawkins.

That is, until Billy Hargrove moved to town.

Dustin introduced you to Max, who you immediately took under your wing. Unfortunately, with Max came her older stepbrother, Billy.

You were sure that the one and only thing you and Steve Harrington would ever have in common was an utter hatred for Billy Hargrove.

However, your feelings for Steve began to change after things started to go weird again in Hawkins.

When Dustin’s new pet Demogorgon, who he affectionately named Dart, started to get out of hand, he insisted on calling his new favorite person.

Unfortunately for you, this person just so happened to be Steve Harrington.

Already upset by the death of your cat, Mews, you absolutely refused to spend any time with Steve Harrington no matter how much Dustin insisted that “he’s changed!”

Your protests didn’t matter much, however, and Dustin went behind your back, calling Steve anyway.

“What’s he doing here?” “What’s she doing here?” “I live here, doofus.”

Dustin swears he could cut the tension with a knife.

As your troubles with Dart turned into much larger problems, you had no choice but to work with Steve to make sure the party stayed safe.

You and Steve eventually grow pretty fond of each other, much to everyone else’s surprise.

“Did you two just have an ACTUAL conversation? Without insulting each other?” “Shut it, Henderson.”

Steve confides in you about his problems with Nancy. He tells you about her outbursts on Halloween, where she apparently called their relationship “bullshit.” You both agree it was pretty fucked up.

The two of you even fight Demodogs together, absolutely kicking ass much to Dustin’s enjoyment.

“That was so awesome oh my god my sister is so fucking cool you kicked their asses”

Max is the first one to become convinced that you two are in love with each other. Dustin and Lucas absolutely refuse to hear it.

“Look at how she looks at him!” “Please, last week she threw soda cans at him until he almost cried.”

Nancy is also incredibly confused when she finds the two of you seemingly getting along at the Byers house.

While everyone goes to do their respective job, you and Steve are put on babysitting duty again.

Your collective overprotectiveness and downright refusal to deal with their shit makes the kids start calling you “mom and dad”

For some reason, this makes Steve incredibly flustered.

Things take a turn when Billy shows up at the Byers house, pissed off and looking for Lucas and Max.

The rumble of a car pulling into the driveway pulled everyone away from the argument at hand. Headlights flashed through the window as the kids peered out. “Shit!” Max hissed, glancing nervously at Lucas. You briefly recognized the car from school and from Max’s reaction, you could tell it was Billy’s. “Stay here.” Steve’s eyes met yours, a stern look on his face as he looked first at you and then at each of the kids. You nodded, pulling the party away from the window with an anxious feeling in your stomach. You placed a hand on Max’s shoulder, trying your best to reassure her, “Hey, everything’s gonna be fine. Steve will make him go.” Mike and Dustin crouched down, peering nervously out the window. You couldn’t help your curiosity, crouching down beside them. As you peeled out the window, Billy’s eyes suddenly met yours. You couldn’t hear the words that came out of his mouth, however, you could see the disapproving glance from Steve. “Shit! Do you think he saw us?” You weren’t left wondering for long as heavy footsteps marched across the Byers’ front porch and the door furiously swung open.

That night, both you and Steve got your asses kicked by Billy Hargrove. You couldn’t remember much of the night, being knocked out for a good majority of it after jumping on Billy’s back to pull him away from Steve.

You woke to panicked yelling. Taking a minute to adjust to your surroundings, you felt the rough swerving of the car.

“Steve, you drive like a fucking maniac.” You slurred out, bringing your hand up to touch your head. You felt the sticky oozing of blood running down your forehead as you pulled your hands away.

“Oh, hey, sunshine. Listen, don’t panic. You and Steve got your asses royally handed to you. Let me put a bandaid on that for you. You tried! That’s all that matters! You guys will get him next time, don’t worry!”

As your vision became clearer, you recognized Dustin placing a small, pink bandage over the cut on your forehead. His voice was calm. Almost, too calm.

You felt pressure on your shoulder as you turned your head to look. Steve was sleeping on your shoulder, his face battered and bruised.

“Steve? Oh, God.” “Hey, don’t worry! He’s alright! He’s just passed out right now!” “No, no, no, no, who’s driving? Steve, wake up. Who’s driving!”

As you looked up at the drivers seat, you noticed a flash of red hair. You stomach dropped as you realized Max was driving as Lucas and Mike attempted to direct her.

“Oh my god. Steve, wake up.” You nudged him awake with your shoulder.

“Huh? What’s going on?” “Steve, Max is driving.” “OH MY GOD MAX IS DRIVING”

You eventually reached your destination relatively safely. You made a mental note to yell at the kids later and to also never, ever let Max drive.

While in the Upside Down, Steve stuck close by you. Of course, he wanted to make sure the kids were okay but you had a nasty cut on your forehead and were stumbling a bit. He had asked you to stay in the car, but you refused, insisting that you were okay. He makes a point to keep a close eye on you and stay close. He doesn’t know why he’s so worried but he tries to rationalize it as being concerned for his new friend.

After everything is said and done, Steve gives you a ride home. You’re both exhausted and injured, but he makes sure you’re okay. He even offers to spend the night watching movies with you if you’re too scared to sleep, but you refuse, sending him home.

Flash forward to the summer, you and Steve have become pretty good friends and you both find a job in the new Starcourt mall at an ice cream parlor.

When you first see Steve in his Scoops outfit, you can’t help but laugh.

“Aw, Steve, don’t be like that. You look adorable in your little sailor hat!” “Yeah, yeah, you have to wear it too, smartass.”

You convince yourself that the way his cheeks flare up at the word “adorable” is out of embarrassment and absolutely nothing else.

After everything was over, you and Steve arranged to have weekly movie nights with the party.

However, with Dustin gone to camp, Mike and El spending most of their time together, as well as Lucas and Max doing the same, it’s usually just you and Steve hanging out.

You can’t help but notice the way he sits stiffly with his leg brushing yours, almost as if he’s afraid to move any closer.

You and Steve also become pretty close to your coworker, Robin. With the kids busy, Robin becomes a new member for movie nights.

skipping forward because this is getting ridiculously long

Working with Robin, Steve, Dustin, and Lucas’ little sister, Erica, the five of you infiltrate a secret Russian lab below Starcourt mall.

You, Robin, and Steve somehow find yourselves kidnapped and drugged by evil Russians.

After escaping, the three of you are still pretty out of it. You somehow end up in the movie theater, watching Back To The Future.

After the movie, you and Steve find yourselves sitting on the bathroom floor, laughing about something you can’t quite recall.

“Wait, wait, wait. Listen, I have something so important to tell you.” “What?” You’re both giggling, barely able to make it through a sentence without busting out in laughter.

“I am so in love with you.” “What?”

Everything becomes much less funny. Steve is looking at you with the most intense look you’ve ever seen in his eyes.

It’s deathly quiet for a moment as you two look at each other.

Suddenly, you both break out into more laughter, clutching your stomachs and heaving over.

“God, you’re such an idiot.” You manage to get out between gasps for air.

“No, no, I’m being so serious.” Steve is laughing so hard his face is bright red and you genuinely think he’s going to pass out.

As the laughter dies out, the two of you sit silently on the floor. Occasional giggles are passed between you before the your mind suddenly becomes clearer and the weight of his words hit you.

“Steve, you’re literally on drugs, you don’t mean that.” You try to brush it off but somehow that only makes him laugh harder. He grabs your hand, looking at you while attempting to be serious.

“I have to tell you, now, or I’ll never be able to tell you.” He explains, referring to his drugged up state.

“Steve…” He leans in, gently brushing his lips against yours as if he’s testing you. When you don’t pull away, he presses his lips more firmly against yours, smiling through the kiss.

At the end of the night, after everything is over, the Mind Flayer is gone, and both Hopper and Billy are dead, Steve meets you in the back of an ambulance.

Having already been checked and cleared by the EMTs himself, he cautiously takes a seat next to you as you’re getting your wounds cleaned. He grabs your hand, interlocking your fingers almost nervously. When you look at him, he’s already looking over at you, a small smile on his face. You gently squeeze his hand, smiling back at him.

That night, Steve takes you home and, like he did the previous year, offers to spend the night with you. This time, you accept his offer, leading him inside.

[wazzappp]

So you know your green lantern milagro au. What am I saying ofc you do it’s literally your au. I’m imagining like, Movie Milagro and Jaime here, for starters, just cause funzies. Anyways. I think it would be SO FUN if Milagro learns about the Reach and their whole deal while like, training or smth, and halfway through she’s like ‘Holy shit. That’s my BROTHER you’re talking about.’ And she has to deal with the knowledge that at any point her brother might just get possessed by galatic supercolonizers and start enslaving / murdering people. And she gets home and tries to explain it to jaime and he’s not having any of it (he and khaji are best buddies, duh, khaji would never do that but would they? he doesn’t know.) Oh and at some point it would be really fun and angsty if milagro has to actually fight jaime while he’s being possessed because what’s more fun than the crisis of ‘hurt my family to save the world or hurt the world to save my family’

YESYESYES THAT FUN ANGST IS WHAT GOT ME THINKING ABOUT THIS AU IN THE FIRST PLACE!!

I love the idea of her fighting possessed Jaime. Milagro has to try and convince the other green lanterns that NO its actually NOT really Khaji Da its those BITCH ASS MOTHERFUCKIN REACH BASTARDS. Milagro strikes me as the kind of person who would kill if she ever heard an 'I told you so' which, like. same honestly it makes me murderous. So stop being so 'green lanterny' and fight the reach mothership so she can focus on only mildly beating the shit out of her brother while also staying alive.

I think Milagro would have some difficulty listening to the lanterns AT ALL about this honestly. Girlboss is LOYAL loyal. I think she would need some reminding about exactly WHAT Khaji and Jaime are capable of together. Remembering that he was very very close to just straight up killing Carapax (should have turned that man into a blood fountain honestly. Jaime, puncture his jugular and watch that shit become the centerpiece of a fucking royal garden) might get her to go 'yeahhhhh. ok yeah I could kind of see it'. But I think for her to REALLY believe them she would have to see Jaime being particularly ruthless. Like if he was going after someone who came after their family. OHHHHHOHOHOHOHOHO PRIME SCARY BEEBLE HOURS FRFR. Don't get me wrong, Milagro would go after any motherfucker that threatens her family, its the fact that JAIME. Peacemaking, understanding, kind Jaime is ready to beat this guy into the ground, that troubles her (especially if its presented as evidence by the lanterns).

Honestly if you could convince her that her brother is mostly replaced I think you might even get her to work with other lanterns on some kind of capture mission. The council is like 'The scarab on earth must be eliminated' and Milagro finds herself in a position where she can say 'thats BS he's my brother I know him'. Then they can bring up all the violence he's been engaging in and she can propose that they should at least do a capture mission instead of like. an execution. She really is doing everything she can and staying loyal to her brother, but HES NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT. OHHHHHHH HEARTBREAK. OHHHH PAIN AND SUFFERING AND BETRAYALLLLL <3

I also have just. the CLEAREST fucking mental movie of them working together after getting the lanterns to just chill the fuck out a little bit to evacuate a planet. Jaime keeps trying to approach the people on this alien planet so he can direct them to evacuation ships but they just. Keep running away from him. Doesn't matter what he says doesn't matter what he does, they think he's going to kill them. Milagro flies in and the kid Jaime has been trying to convince to come with him runs behind Milagro and BEGS her to fight Jaime and "make the scary reach soldier go away". Idk where these ideas come from but I put them on repeat so often girl help the daydreams are becoming sentient.

Plotbunny AU 5 - WELCOME BACK TO BEACON, LOVEBIRDS

(And we're back to this nonsense. Let's go, this world ain't gonna fix itself)

Come the day of Beacon's semester starting, Jaune gets to work being everyone's brother figure, while Alyx decides to get to know Jaune's siblings, her rivals for his hugs, his crush, friends.

Between Jaune hugging everyone who stands still long enough, the entire student body cooing over Juniper, and Alyx making commentary it all goes pretty good..

Then she drags him up to Weiss and Pyrrha, and Jaune becomes a stuttering mess. Alyx decides to ask the redhead who she is, since her saying hello gave Jaune a coughing fit.

Weiss asks Alyx if she knows who Pyrrha is, and when he says no, looks like she's going to start a tirade ,but Jaune plays peacemaker.

He thought long and hard, staying up late into the night: could he pretend he never recognized her again? Try and be ensure he becomes her partner again? game the system like that?

Manipulate her with false information and half-truths like everyone else did?

(No, never. Not in a million years. Never, ever. He's not the Jaune that loved and lost, he's a shadow of that man, but he could never dream of giving her anything but choices and support)

"This is Pyrrha Nikos, Alyx. She won the tournament in Mistral four times.... oh! And she's also sponsored by my favorite cereal, where I got the sweater from!"

Let it be known that Alyx is a reformed hellion and will game the system for Jaune's sake.

"Ohhhh, sounds important. You should partner up with Jaune here, he's brave and loyal and strong, and he deserves the best partner cause he'll be their best partner in turn! Like a knight from a storybook. Team Jaune will be the place to be-"

Jaune ain't having it. He'll protect Pyrrha from everyone, even his own misplaced feelings if he needs to.

"She's also a person who deserves to have her boundaries respected and for no one to project their wants or feelings onto her, Alyx. Come on, sorry you two, please have a nice day...."

(And Jaune misses Pyrrha watching him walk away with a laser focus.)

Initiation comes. Jaune takes Juniper out of his pocket and she grows to regular size, and Jaune lands safely in the forest...

And has a panic attack

He's already changed things, he's changing things, what if he messes up? What if it all gets worse? What if- THUNK

"Hello Again! Are you okay?"

There's Pyrrha, having jumped on her spear and ridden it like a surfboard after using it's propellant features and semblance to guide it.

Because of course she makes it look effortless; riding the spear until it landed in that tree, looking down at him while he looks up.

Something clicks.

She jumps down, hair falling, and without thinking about it, he catches her in his arms, holding her there for an instant that lasts forever before setting her on her feet.

There a small smile on her face, and his helm is hiding the tears in his eyes.

She speaks to him, a beaming smile on her face:

"So, is there anymore room on Team Jaune?"

He takes off his helmet, smiling in-spite of his misgivings as something seems to align within him. And from her beaming face, he thinks he eels it, too.

"Hardy har....partner."

Eyes lidded, Pyrrha calls her spear to her hand without a thought, smiling back at him.

"Then let's get going, partner."

Jaune helps her onto Juniper, and they rush off towards the Relics.

Together.

(It all mostly works itself out, to Jaune's relief. They kill a Nevermore and a Deathstalker, with style even, and Juniper actually dropkicks an Ursa over the horizon) (When he emerges from the Forest with Pyrrha as his partner, Alyx is very smug, the little brat. Jaune hugs her anyways)

While Jaune goes to classes, Alyx doesn't spend all of her time taking care of Juniper she needs to do other things or she'll go stir crazy.

If she doesn't distract herself from the fact that everything she knew is gone, she'll go mad.

So she reads, and watches videos on her scroll, but eventually, after reading her brother's book for the sixth time, she asks Ozpin for his thoughts on it, as the resident 'Legend Expert'.

Ozpin has many thoughts, and delights at the chance to discuss Legends and the truths behind them.

(And listen, Alyx is taking everything he says with a grain of salt, she has heard many rants from the Rusted Knight about him and his habit of omitting details, but his passion for Fairy Tales seems genuine)

And one day Alyx decides she wants to be Better, yes, but to help more people be Better as well.

"How would you like to help me write a sequel to this story my brother wrote? So everyone knows the truth, even if they don't know it...."

(Playing on that Ozpin seems to be the incarnation most obsessed with mythology and researching and lecturing about them)

And so they write, weeks going on and continuing even as the semester starts and classes begin, sharing hot chocolate and occasionally taking breaks to walk Juniper and check in on Jaune, training in the forest nearby:

>The Origins of the Rusted Knight: A story of the only son with seven sisters running away from his family's farm to become a hero like his family ancestor.

>The Girl Who Wished To Become Real: A tragedy that serves as a Stealth Prequel to The Girl who Fell Through The World, and touches on What Makes A Person.

>The Boy Who Returned Home: A tribute to Lewis, and all he did for her and her apology note and goodbye letter and thank you all in one.

(Ozpin does hug her after they write that and have Glynda let Jaune off from classes that day, strangely fond of this girl who understands him more than anyone but also takes none of his crap)

>The Four Who Finally Arrived: The sequel to the Tale of the Rusted Knight, featuring him surviving the original story, his long vigil coming to an end, and him returning home hand in hand with his friends.

>The Four Daughters: Ozma's own apology and farewell, memorializing his failures and regrets.

(Alyx gives him the hug this time, with Juniper purring. Jaune joins in, it's kinda his thing.)

>The Paper Pleasers: A Lighthearted Tale of a kind people who only want to beautify the land....... featuring the Rusted Knight in a comedic role for a change.

>Tales of the Ever After: A series of shorts and bits, telling fantastic blurbs about fantasy characters.

>The Tree and the Blcksmith: A creation Mythos story, featuring the beginning of everything, she who remakes others again and again, and two figures that become surprisingly important.

As the semester goes on, Alyx and Jaune call his family more often, and Jaune cajoles everyone else into doing the same. They argue a little, but eventually give in. Stupid himbo and his "call your family guys, cherish them!"

Weiss calls Whitley and Winter. It goes.... awkwardly. But by the third week of sunday calls, she could almost swear Whitley was looking forward to them. Odd. Stupid eyes, stinging when she thinks about it. And Winter is so, so glad to hear Weiss gush for minutes on end about her dorm's pets and her new friends.

Tai is relieved to hear his daughters are doing well and making friends. He's not so pleased to hear that their Uncle is apparently hanging around between missions, and says he might be hanging around Vale more himself. Weird.

Blake.... okay, Blake chickens out twice in a row. But the third time, Alyx slips in and presses the button for her before slipping out with a "Hi Mrs and Mr Belladonna, we got your daughter to call, don't worry we're keeping an eye out for her stalker, have fun catching up, bye!"

Brat.

But an hour later, Blake has red rimmed eyes and gives Alyx a hug, so she's not too mad.

Pyrrha calls her mother and, fortified with Jaune's hugs and everyone's encouragement, speaks about stepping back form her sponsorship deals while she's at Beacon and opens up about wanting to be more, feeling lighter afterwards.

Ren and Nora are dragged into Jaune's calls several times, and also Pyrrha's once she starts gossiping with her mother over things after their first call, and both will admit it helps more than they would admit to feel like they belong with these people.

And that's the dose of fluff. Tune in next time for Alyx's prank war against Cardin and Roman's second defeat at Juniper's paws (And Cinder getting rekked again, of course)

God. All the stuff about the new stories got me

Alyx not being quite as good a writer as her brother but trying SO HARD and wanting her new brother’s story to be told. Wanting his suffering to be KNOWN and talked about so it’s not like OG Jaune suffered for nothing

You’re doing great Alyx, you’re getting better

The Arkos meeting? *chefs kiss* Not lying to her because she deserves better than that? Pyrrha still rescuing him, but this time from his own self doubt? Top notch, all of it

ALL THE FAMILY CALLS!!! Blake getting reassured that her parents love her (because they’re the best). Weiss reconciling with Whitley and showing Winter that she’s loved as a person, because fight me they both need a hug

Tai being rightly concerned about Qrow because of the plot stuff that the girls don’t know about, but also taking it as prompting to visit his daughters more often. Because god dammit visit your kids, you know where the school is

PYRRHA SETTING BOUNDARIES BECAUSE SHES FINALLY GETTING THE SUPPORT SHE DESERVES!!! YOU LOVE TO SEE IT!!!

Thank you for the dose of fluff. Can’t wait to see Cardin, Roman, and Cinder get wrecked

Also I can’t remember if the Blake Faunus reveal happened already, but if it hasn’t I can’t wait for that. Also can’t wait to see when/if Jaune’s whole deal is revealed

Because I know it’s not HIS trauma, but god damn with him going above and beyond looking out for everyone, I want him to have his break down and be supported by everyone he’s helped build up

Home Is Wherever You Are P3

Adrian Chase/Vigilante x Reader

With a very heavy emphasis on platonic!Christopher Smith/Peacemaker

Part 1, Part 2, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7

Adrian Chase Masterlist

Prompt: While Gut and Chris are at school you spend the day alone with Adrian. You also think you might have a plan to get home. You think you’re finally starting to get a hang of things… or are you?

Warnings: mentions of child abuse, panic, meltdown, crying, divorce, mentions of August Smith, cannon typical Peacemaker violence and language, homophobia, ableism against autistic people (people being Adrian)

A/N: Thank you so much for the feedback you guys have been giving me here and on AO3! I love seeing your guys’ comments! I really appreciate all of you!!!

You woke up quickly, jolting up from your bed in a cold sweat. You felt like you couldn’t breathe and you don’t even know when you started crying. Suddenly, you feel hands on your shoulders, applying pressure to your body.

“Hey, hey, it’s okay. I’m here. It’s just me. It’s just Adrian. It was just a dream. You’re okay.” Your boyfriend comforts you.

“It was so fucking awful.” You choke on your tears, clinging to him.

“Do you wanna talk about it?” He asks, rubbing your back.

“You- you died and then I- I think I was next- a butterfly killed you and then I- I felt one going down my throat- I- I couldn’t breathe-“ You try to get out your words between sobs, finding it difficult to breathe even now. He shushes you, pulling you into his lap.

“I’m okay. You’re okay. We’re both safe. I promise.” He kisses you on the forehead. “Can you try to breathe with me?” He asks.

“I- I can’t” You cry out.

“Sure you can.” He says with love and patients. He places your hand on his chest so you can feel his chest rise a bit easier as he breathes. You place your head over his heart so you can listen to it beat. “I’m gonna count, okay? In for 4, out for 4, okay?” You nod. He counts for you. “1, 2, 3, 4. Now out, 2, 3, 4. You’re doing so good. We’re gonna go for 8 now, okay?” He makes sure you understand. You nod and he begins to count.

“1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8…”

September 7th, 1994

“…8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Ready or not here I come, Adrian!” You yelled as you started to seek during your turn in hide and seek.

So it’s been about a week since you first got here and things haven’t gone exactly to plan, but they haven’t been completely awful either. You were currently playing with Adrian while Gut got ready for his first day of school. Chris has stayed at his dad’s last night. No matter how much you didn’t like it, Auggie was his legal guardian and he had to stay there at least some of the time. This week would be a lot of alone time with Adrian since Gut and Chris’ school started a week before Adrian’s preschool. Usually your alone time consisted of cuddling, watching movies, getting drunk, and doing…other adult things. Being alone with baby Adrian was just…weird…but you were going to make the most of it! Diane had decided earlier in the week to start giving you an allowance. It was less than a pay check, but it was enough to be able to take the boys out or just do something for yourself when you wanted to, or to even save up a little bit. She couldn’t afford to give you a steady paycheck, but throwing some extra tip money your way was something she could handle. At first you objected, but she wouldn’t let you, reminding you that you essentially work for her for free and that you’ll probably just end up spending it on the boys instead anyway. You couldn’t argue with that logic. She wasn’t wrong after all. Today you were using it to take Adrian out. It was in part to distract him from missing Gut and Chris and being nervous about his first day of preschool coming up, but in reality you had a bigger plan.

After Diane left for work, dropping Gut off at school, you got Adrian ready for the day and brought him out. You carried a tote bag slung over your shoulder as you and Adrian hopped over all the cracks on the sidewalk. “Step on cack bweak mobver’s back!” Adrian sang.

“You step on a crack, you break your mother’s back!” You sing with him. You watch Adrian bend down.

“Woah!” Adrian yells. He comes back up and turns around to run back to you. “Found a rock!” He yells.

“A rock?!” You say, as if it’s the most exciting thing in the world.

“A rock!” He parrots back, giving it to you to look at. You inspect the composition of the rock with the different colors.

“Adrian, what color is this?” You ask.

“Green!” He giggles.

“Good job! What about here?” You ask pointing to a purple area.

“Red?” He seems less sure.

“You’re very close. I suppose it’s looks a little red, but that’s purple.” You smile, saying the color slower so he has a chance to hear the sounds your mouth is making.

“P-purple” He parrots back, really hitting his p sounds hard.

“Good job! You’re so smart, Adrian!” You smile, giving him a high five. “I’m gonna put this in the bag, so we don’t lose it and we can put it in your collection when we get home.”

“Okay!” He says. It’s not long before he finds another rock…and another…and another…by the fourth rock, you didn’t really want to carry anymore. It was starting to weigh down the bag.

“Ugh!” You pretend to almost drop the bag. “This is getting so heavy!” You pretend to struggle.

“No, it’s not!” He giggles.

“You must be a lot stronger than me then! I’ll tell ya what. You pick out one more rock before the bag gets too heavy. The bag will only hold one more.” You told him.

“One more?!” He asks.

“One more, so pick something really special.” You smile at him. He races off to find the perfect rock. You looked down, shifting the contents in your bag. You didn’t want any of the rocks to get dirt on the paper and envelopes you had inside. They would need to last a long time. He found the fifth rock and excitedly handed it to you. “Good choice.” You smile, putting it in the bag.

First stop was the arcade. “What game’s first?” You ask as you put the money in the machine for tokens.

“Space!” Adrian said in a dramatic voice. Luckily you knew what he meant. The alien invasion game was one of his favorites, even in your current time period.

“Okay, let’s go play space.” You smile. Before putting in money you took a second to look at the high scores. You felt sadness wash over you. The top score wasn’t filled with Adrian’s initials like it was in your time period. Your initials weren’t in the second slot either. It was full of names you didn’t know. You put in the tokens and set Adrian up before you took out your supplies and started writing your first letter.

‘Adrian,

The date is September 7th, 1994. The time is 11:23am.

Come find me.

Love,

(Y/N)’

The plan was simple enough. You would write letters like this and put them in the areas he frequented most. You slipped it in an envelope, wrote ‘Don’t open until’ with your current year and stuck it to the back of the machine. You knew if most people found it, they probably wouldn’t touch it. They would just think it was a time capsule. The idea came to you when you realized your team may not even know where in time you are…or if you’re even alive… You really hoped Adrian didn’t think you were dead, but you couldn’t think about that right now. If you wanted to see him again, you needed to carry out the current task at hand.

After finishing the game, Adrian wanted to climb through the big children’s maze. It was just one of those giant plastic tube systems like Chuck E. Cheese or McDonald’s PlayLand.

“Adrian, I’m a grownup, so I can’t go up, but if you wanna go up I’ll stay right here. I promise.” You smile at him.

“Okay!” He says as he heads into the maze. You weren’t worried about losing him. There was only one way in and out. You sat in front of the tubes, waiting. By the time he came out, he didn’t look as happy before. He ran right up to you and gave you a hug, sniffling.

“Are you okay? Are you hurt?” You ask him.

“No, they are mean!” He says. You feel a lump in your throat.

“Who’s mean, buddy? Was it other kids?” You ask. He nods.

“They yelled at me and told me I pwayed wrong!” He cried. It took every ounce of your being to not walk up into that maze and scream at them. They were all just kids. They didn’t realize the complexities of ableism in society. They didn’t know Adrian was autistic. They just knew he was different. Adrian didn’t even know and being the youngest by such a large gap, he rarely had kids his age to talk to, let alone tell him so. You watched as he tried to cover his ears. He was clearly overstimulated. You scoop him up in your arms and carry him out of the packed area of screaming children. When you’re away from the crowd you put him down and get on your knees so you’re at his level.

“Adrian, you didn’t play wrong. You just played different. It’s not you fault.” You were trying to think. You didn’t know how to explain this to a 3 year old. If this was adult Adrian, you’d know exactly what to say…toddler Adrian, not so much. You sigh. “You’re so special, Adrian. I don’t think you play wrong. I think you do it differently. I think they’re just jealous because they CAN’T play like you.” You smile, trying to hold in your own emotions. This is a moment that could completely change his life.

“Jeawous?” He asks sniffling. You forgot a 3 year old probably wouldn’t understand the concept.

“Jealousy is when you get upset because somebody else has something you want. It’s like when there’s only two game controllers and Dor and Chris won’t let you play. When you get sad or mad, that’s jealousy and those other kids are just jealous because they can’t be as cool or as smart as you.” You tell him.

“I am cool and smart?” He asks, sniffling.

“You are so cool and so smart.” You smile, embracing him and giving him a kiss on top of the head. Your stomach begins to rumble. You laugh. “Oh man! I’m so hungry. Are you hungry too?” You ask.

“Yeah!” He says. You wipe his remaining tears.

“Let’s go get lunch.” You smile, picking him up and heading to Fennel Fields. Diane is at her other job right now, but that’s in your favor. You wanted to use the time to slip another letter somewhere.

By the end of your outing you were able to put five letters across town in Adrian’s favorite stores, restaurants, and the arcade. Hopefully he’d see at least one of them. Now you were on the couch watching a show with Adrian when you decided you needed to go to the bathroom. You wouldn’t be gone for that long it’d be fine. Plus Adrian was glued to the screen anyway. He was in deep focus as the Land Before Time played on the screen. “If I go to the bathroom are you gonna stay here?” You ask. He nods absentmindedly and you figure he probably won’t move. When you get into the bathroom, you notice Gut left it a mess this morning, so after using it, you clean up after him.

When you come out of the bathroom, the credits for the movie are rolling and Adrian is nowhere to be found. “Adrian?” You call out. You hear him upstairs. He probably went to his room. You were gone for all of about ten minutes. He couldn’t have gotten into that much trouble. You walk up the stairs to find his bedroom door closed. That’s odd. Then you realize the sound is coming from your room, not his. You turn the corner and see him with the drawer open. Things are all over the place and he has your phone in his hands. “Adrian, can I have that back please?” You ask, anxiously. “It’s not nice to go through other people’s stuff.” You remind him. He passes you the phone and your worst nightmare has come true. It won’t turn on. He killed the last of the battery. “Adrian!” You yell at him as you begin to panic.

“I sowy” he says.

“No! You can’t fix this problem by being cute!” You yell. You don’t mean to yell, but everything you had left of your Adrian was on your phone. You don’t even hear the door open downstairs. “That was all I had left of him!” You say as you begin to cry. Adrian starts to cry too, frozen, unsure what to do. You looked at him. He was scared. You yelled at him. Adrian. Your Adrian, just not quite as you know him yet. This is still him and he’s just a baby and you yelled at him. “I’m sorry- oh god- I’m so sorry.” You continue to cry.

“I sowy.” He repeats.

“I know you’re sorry.” You cry. “I’m sorry too. I shouldn’t have yelled at you.” As you continue to cry, you hear a voice from the doorway.

“Uh…we’re home from school…” Gut’s voice breaks through your sobs. “Ade, wanna go play video games?” He asks. He never lets his brother play with him.

“Gonna go play with Dor!” Adrian says, giving you a hug and then running after his older brother. Chris stands frozen in the door.

“What happened?” He asks. You look at him. His lip is busted, no doubt from sleeping at his dad’s last night.

“There’s nothing we can do. It doesn’t matter.” You tell him.

“It does matter. You look like shit.” He says. You’re currently crying on the floor while a 13 year old Christopher Smith tells you that you look like shit. What has your life come to?

“He broke your thing, didn’t he?” Chris asks. You nod, taking a shakey breath.

“I didn’t mean to yell at him. I just had important stuff on my thing…” Your voice is broken and quiet. He walks away and quickly comes back with a tape in his hands. He tosses it to you silently. “What’s this?” You ask.

“Play it and find out.” He tells you, handing you the tape recorder to play it back. You place the tape in the slot and hit play.

“Hey babe, it’s me. I’m just calling because I know you had a bad day today and I was thinking…” The voicemail rings through. You let out a sigh of relief.

“You recorded it?!” You ask in shock.

“I don’t really know what that thing is, but it looked like it ran on batteries and I knew they wouldn’t last forever. I figured if I could hear that message on repeat through the walls every night while I’m trying to go to sleep, it was probably something important.” He tells you.

“Chris, you have no idea how much this means to me-“

“Don’t mention it.” He cuts you off, walking out of the room. You think Chris might actually like you.

Later on in the night while everyone was asleep you played the voicemail again. You sighed in relief. You may have lost the pictures, but at least you could still hear his voice. After the tape ended you decided you should probably get some sleep. It was getting late. You started heading down the hall to the bathroom when you heard crying coming from Adrian’s room. You opened the door slowly, popping your head inside.

“What’s going on, Ade? Everything okay?” You ask.

“No! The witch is gonna get me!” He cried. He had another nightmare. You flicked on the light to show him there were no monsters in his room. You made a point of checking his closet and checking under his bed.

“There’s no witches here. You’re safe. I promise.” You sit next to him on the bed. “Do you wanna know what I think about when I’m scared?” You ask him. He nods. “Where I’m from, when I’m scared at night, I know there’s a very brave hero to protect me.” You weave your fingers through his curls in a calming manner.

“A hero?” He asks.

“Yeah.” You smile, trying not to become emotional. “He’s strong and he smart and he’s funny.” You laugh to yourself. “He’s so funny, but he’s also caring and brave. He goes out every night to make sure everyone’s safe in their beds and nobody is alone, scared in the dark.” You smile. “He even helped saved the entire world from aliens once!” You add.

“Aliens?!” Adrian’s face changes from one of fear to one of amazement. “What is his name?” He asks.

“His name is Vigilante” You smile. “and he’s gonna come all the way from where I live to make sure we’re safe in our beds too.” You smile. You try to cover up how broken you are by how badly you miss your boyfriend and the rest of your life back home.

“Where do you live?” He asks.

“Somewhere far away. It’s not perfect, but my boyfriend’s there and I love him very much.” You smile.

“Is your boyfriend Vigiante?” Adrian asks. He can’t quite pronounce the L yet. You laugh as you quickly wipe a fallen tear.

“How did you get to be so smart?” You ask him.

“I want to be just like Vigiante when I grow up!” He tells you. You laugh again.

“I’m sure you will be. Now, get some rest.” You kiss him on the forehead, tucking him in again. You turn out the light and continue your original mission to the bathroom to brush your teeth.

I'd love to know your thoughts on member dynamics during any Jikook dust ups over the years. Note: I believe Jimin is the original OT7er, and I agree with you that he probably put the group's needs ahead of their relationship. Every relationship has growing pains, though. Anyway, I tend to think Tae would side with whoever he thought was right in that moment. He definitely didn't like JK's tendency to be possessive of Jimin's time, in my opinion, and I think all the members probably checked JK on that at some point. I flip back and forth with Hobi b/c I think he's a peacemaker and probably wouldn't take sides. I'm not sure about Namjoon and Jin. Namjoon, being leader, I don't think he'd pick sides, but he did push back on JK's possessiveness in terms of skinship. I think Suga wouldn't give a flip.

Added bonus: this edit which I find funny though I haven't seen the original interaction to see where the creator took liberties, if any. I've seen Tkkrs use this clip as a "hey, Taekook approves of Yoonmin" moment, but, LOL, how? To me it reads more like Tae acting as a Jeon satellite assistant moment. Anyway, it's a cute edit. (I'm getting that error message that it's not a complete link.)

Oh no. Couldn't get the link 😪

Tarheeeeeeel. This is one hell of a question. But since you didn't say a break up i think it's quite easy. I believe all the members would listen to both sides and support the one they think is right. It wouldn't be about Jimin or JK it would be about reason. I think the Tannies are adult and mature enough to do this. So that's my answer. They would go by logic. And I can see RM and Jhope not even picking sides but rather talking to them and trying to get to the root of the issue.

So All would go by logic.

Except Suga.

U knew this was coming. C'mon. I don't even think Suga needs a reason; he is supporting Jimin no matter what.

Listen. Yoonkook are not close. 🤭🤭 How many ships are there in BTS? 22? 24? And out of all of them I would put Yoonkook at the bottom. Whatever number is last that's where I'm putting Yoonkook.

Disclaimer: Suga and JK love eo like all members love eo. At no point should you think I'm insinuating otherwise while you read this post.

But yeah. If I was to rate JK's ships I would put Yoonkook last. If we thought tkk was boring as a unit what about ykk? We all watched Irish bomb, come on now. There ain't no chemistry there either. This TT i shared here i would swap Tkk for Ykk. I mean, we talked about GCF Helsinki and Suga is the only one who remained dull and uncoloured.

And you know what? I don't blame JK. If someone kept looking at my boyfriend's ass and drooling over him plus checking him out when he showed a little skin, he wouldn't be my favourite member either. 🤷🏽‍♀️

So that's which side members are taking when Jikook fight or argue. I wanna talk about if God forbid there was a break up. Simply because I wanna hear what you guys think also.

So if Jikook were over (not gonna happen but if they were) and it wasn't amicable and members were forced to choose sides,

Let's start from the top. Who gets RM during the divorce? What do we know about RM and Jikook? We know Jimin is his confidant. We know he goes to Jimin when he's stuck and doesn't know the way forward. We know he and Jimin are always having heavy in depth talks and Jimin is always there for him. So I think Jimin gets RM during the divorce. Minimoni are legit.

Jin. We know after Jimin, JK is closest to Jin. The oldest member basically raised him. JK is Jin's baby y'all.❤ Tom and Jerry, they get along splendidly and there is never a dull moment when Jinkook are together. Even though Jimin has been there for Jin emotionally too, I personally think JK gets Jin in the divorce.

Suga. Do I need to say it? 😂😂 This dude is a no brainer. Of course Jimin gets Suga during the divorce.

Jhope. Another no brainer. This is Jimin's person. His best friend. His soulmate. His roommate for life. He knows where all the bodies are buried, Jimin trusts him explicitly. When JK messes up Jhope cannot wait to tell Jimin so yeah, I think we know who's side he would be on. 😂

Last but not least, V. Hmm... Kim Taehyung is a wild card. With him,

If you had asked me this before recent developments, I would have said Jimin gets V in the divorce. Easy. But now? Now Idk. He could be team Jimin, could be team JK, could refuse to pick a side and go wooga squad away. Who knows 🤷🏽‍♀️ As it stands I just dk who V would choose. Would love to hear y'alls thoughts though...

Snow was my favorite character when I read Hunger Games. Do not yell, do not hurtle rocks of hate at me, I finally understand why. I’ve read Songbirds and Snakes and watched it.

Snow is posh and polished, he is a statue of respect and authority. That’s Jonah Magnus, that’s Gabriel(GO), that’s Stede(to a degree- Stede is not an ass), that’s Sherlock, that’s the Doctor. It’s a Poshness that only certain villains can accomplish, and most English characters are gifted with.

The backstory adds another level of respect and appreciation for Snow from me. I am not rich, and I am surrounded by rich people in the state I moved to from North Carolina(where I was raised). I went to a school where money was practically flung around, a donation to the school that wasn’t mandatory but very much suggested was almost 200 dollars. I understand Snow, not because I’m dirt poor and barely living off of my parents jobs, I understand being surrounded by people who can use money to get out of shit that deserve to face.

Snow and I also have a father that is extremely proud of his name, my father isn’t dead, neither is my mother but I understand wanting to live up to the expectations of your father. I have expectations also from my father just like snow who is expected to love up to his father’s name.

Snow doesn’t seem to quite understand to love correctly, just like me! He love bombs Lucy Gray(TO A DEGREE- SAVING SOMEONES LIFE BECAUSE YOU WANT TO IS HUMANE BUT ALSO ITS CORIOLANUS SNOW) and he is extremely possessive. Now I am not that extreme because I literally cannot find the way to love someone without completely throwing myself into Michael’s domain because I spiral(haha I’m funny).

Coriolanus is also the smartest person in his class and his makes sure that that is known, I am like that but not the smartest just pretty smart. He also helps his peers even if he despises them, and given I have Social Anxiety I am terrified to disappoint so I do that too.

Coriolanus also respects people on a level of perspective before becoming a peacemaker that’s commendable. Given the fact his father was killed and he had to SCAVENGE for food as a kid he is allowed some disrespect for the districts. He still respects them once they’re in the capital and he tries to get them an alright time, for his own sake but still.

That leads on to the fact that based on how he’s been treated for DECADES he wants to go as high as possible to help his family and to live up to his father’s name is understandable. I feel like that to a degree because I have constantly been put on high standards by my parents but also because I came from a poor town where GT was only for fourth and fifth graders and had no advanced classes and was IMMEDIATELY placed in an advanced class for math when I moved.

Anyways, all this to say, he has an inclination to make decisions for others on a whim that’ll it will help himself because he cares deeply for Tigress and his Grandma. Yknow who also acts on whims? Stede Bonnet. We love him- Ed teach, we love him too. Aziraphale??? Yes some of the fandom hate him, but I don’t. James and Sirius make A LOT of choices on whims at Hogwarts as the marauders- JONATHAN FUCKING SIMS MY GOD DONT GET ME STARTED- Trexel Geistman- woo-boy…

Anyways, thank you for listening. I love him, you can hate me for that, I’ll take it. 😀👍

Okay gathering my thoughts together

- So coverwise we’ve got Ollie, Dinah, Connor and Roy on the front cover with new costumes and everyone else on the back in their old/current costumes so that tells me we’re starting with these 4 first and the rest of the fam will likely be later arc additions

- (Which means I’ll likely be waiting a while longer before Mia with her family again cry)

- No real qualms about Dinah’s outfit, I like it when she has blue and yellow in her costume

- I am a hat over hood person for Ollie but I’m not opposed to this new costume. My only thought is that I think there might be one too many arrow/G symbols on it so it’s a little haphazard

- Sean Izaakse apparently has the same fave Roy costume as me so this is great for me personally

- Also Sean if you see this I would love a better look at Connor’s whole costume because no only a hair change but it looks like he’s got a green shirt on and maybe a vest over? Anyway I am inTRIGUED and want to see the whole thing

- ONTO THE VILLAINS!

- Merlyn, Brick, Vertigo and Onomatopoeia are all excellent GA rogue (I’m just as excited for Onomatopoeia as I am for Mia to be back - under-utilised S tier villain tbh)

- Peacemaker is an interesting addition - my guess is they might draw on the Checkmate connection with Roy and Cheshire to pull him in but I could be wrong. Anyway I guess I might have to watch the Peacemaker show cause they’ll no doubt take that iteration of him cause it’s hot news rn.

- And yeah as I said above I reckon it’ll be a while before Mia, Emiko, Lian, Diggle, Cissie and Red Canary are gonna properly be introduced into the book. Here’s hoping we actually get enough issues this time for that to happen

But yeah! The thoughts

[blooming-violets]

Hello I was the one who asked for the heart break fic it was do good I thought it got lost or something anyway I so happy you wrote it it was so good I loved it I'm currently on a Hugh of your fics I just finished reading g something unforgivable and sobbed my eyes out because I love angst I'm on my way to read the one where she dreams about his death as much as I want to I will not be reading smitten beacuse that's way to dark for me at least where I'm at right now but I will give it a try if I feel better I want to say I thank @lizallyn for introducing me to your work youre both so amazing thank you for bringing me into the tasm Fandom and for keeping it alive toodles

🌌

This is so sweet! Sorry it took me so long to post it. I literally couldn't figure out what I wanted to write. I've been extra positive and upbeat lately so I struggled to get in touch with my inner angst. The heartbreak one wasn't as angsty I would like. If I did a part two (because it was getting a little too long) it would have hit harder with the angst.

I was going to have Fisk start to get suspicious of Peter being Spidey so she was going to break up with him in an attempt to save him and push him out from under her father's nose. She was going to be really cruel about it in the hopes that it would hurt him so badly that he would hate her and never want to go near her/her family again. All to try and save him. But it wouldn't have worked and Fisk would have pursued him. In a final battle to the death, each of them fighting for their lives, she would have run straight into the middle of it. It would be raining, of course, because DRAMA. I don't know where I would have gone from there. Maybe her father accidentally shoots her and it ends in her death? Maybe she has to watch Peter kill her father in front of her while she's screaming? Bc even though he's evil, he's still her dad. Maybe it would be some episode 7 of Peacemaker style of her having to kill her own father, defeating her own demons and putting an end to the evil, to save Peter? So many options!

I hope you have fun reading! Don't read Smitten. I reread it recently and it wasn't very good haha. It's also super dark with very triggering themes. Be safe!

This one might be one of my favorite ever angst one shots that I wrote. It holds a special place in my heart because I love the song I set it to and it gives me all the angsty vibes that I craved at the time of writing it:

Nicest Things

And this one is also one of my personal favs and was one of @liz-allyn prompts and it ends fairly angsty (but not too bad). She's my muse for most things that I write:

Five Minutes

I'll just shamelessly recommend my own writing to you idk it's 3:20 in the morning and I'm half asleep and don't know what I'm doing anymore lol. I'm gonna go to bed!

Thank you for leaving me this beautiful message, it made me so happy and I'll smile while I go to sleep because of it.

[linawritestwst]

hiiii congrats on 1k! i'd like to request a matchup please~

i go by she/they pronouns. aside from playing games and watching anime, i like reading books, specifically YA romance novels since im basic XD one of my main hobbies include experimenting w coffee beans too. (i've been obsessed with them since the pandemic started that i can probably make a 2 hr presentation on the history of coffee lmao jk) ANYWAY, i dont really know much abt my personality outside of personality types: i'm an infp, type 9w1 enneagram which is like being the peacemaker in a friend group bc i dont like confrontation lol. with that, i usually look assertiveness and decisiveness for a partner bc i cant have someone whos passive and agreeable as me HSHDHDHSJ but ofc, them being selfish is a whole diff thing. im usually the listener since im not good at making conversations and ppl find it easy to open up to me (prob bc i dont talk in the first place AHDHSHDHHS). but it would be good if my partner can hold up a conversation for us or at least let me feel comfortable to them that i can actually ramble and talk a lot :) my love language is giving gifts bc i think its nice to see something and immediately think of ur loved one like thats so cute!!

also, im okay with anyone from any dorm aside from the first years since theyre still a bit young~ i hope this is not too vague and too long. thank you so much and i hope more readers can find your writings!

hi, thank you so much for your kind words and i hope you like your matchup!!

also i'm so sorry for being so slow with matchups, i have exams coming up and i have to study a lot 😔😔

the character that i think would be a good partner for you is..

rook hunt!

i'll explain why i chose him:

this guy wouldn't think you're basic at all! everything about you is special to him and even if most people think your interests are "boring", he says that there's something beautiful about you liking popular things. come on, you like romance novels, that's so cute! he would be very curious to hear about your experiments with coffee beans as well and you can tell him everything you know about them, he will listen and he will genuinely find it extremely interesting. and your passion about this topic makes it even more beautiful for him.

rook would admire you being the peacemaker, because it means that you're a kind and caring person and it makes you even more beautiful in his eyes. you're already perfect to him, but if you want to become more confident, he would be glad to help! though he can also just be there in case you need someone to make a decision for you or someone who's not as passive.. but this man also can easily go "all of these look/sound nice <3" when you have to choose something, so.. good luck with that.

rook doesn't mind doing all the talking, since.. you know. he talks a lot. however, he would love to hear your thoughts and opinions more often, so in case you need to talk to him about something, he's all ears! he will react to everything you say and he will express his own thoughts about these topics as well, but he will try his best not to interrupt you and if he does, please forgive him, he gets very excited when he's able to spend time with you like this and get to know you better. he would love the gifts you give him too, the fact that you saw something and it reminded you of him warms his heart and makes him so happy!

Avea’s Freaky Fusion Diary - 06_14

I went for a gallop along the beach this morning for a couple of reasons. One, because I thought the sand might feel nice on my hooves, and two, a nice gallop always clears my head. There was a lovely tailwind too, that caught my wings and helped carry me along. It was almost as if I were flying down the beach, almost. I passed a ghoul and a manster who looked like they were my age. The ghoul was trying to teach the manster how to surf, but he didn't look scary comfortable.

I didn't stop to watch, though, because I was just getting my second wind and was really starting to enjoy myself. I also saw Sirena bob up out of the water and then sink again beneath the waves. She didn't see me, so I didn't stop for her either, as there was no guarantee that Sirena was going to come back to the surface anyway. I love Sirena to undeath, but I can never make wings or tails out of what she's about to do next. She tends to drift down her own path, and if it happens to cross the one you're on, it's always a treat. In fact, as flighty as she can be, Sirena is the reason Neighthan, Bonita, and me all met and became friends. All of us were in middle school together, but we didn't really know each other very well. I was standing by my locker one day when this vampire kid asked if I would come to his little brother's birthday party and give flying pony rides. I wanted to kick the unliving dayfrights out of him when Neighthan and Bonita walked past. Neighthan and Bonita stopped to try and play peacemaker, but the kid's friends ganged up on us, and pretty soon, they were chasing us all down the hall. We turned the corner, and there was Sirena. "Follow me if you want to unlive!" she said as she touched a brick in the wall that opened a secret passage. We all ran in, and she closed the door behind us. Bonita asked, "How'd you find this place?" Sirena just shrugged. "Sometimes not paying attention to where you're going gets you to places you really want to be." None of us understood what she was saying at the time, but we've all been beast friends ever since, and no matter how many schools we've bounced around to, we know we can always count on each other.

Karl Heisenberg x reader, Ethan Winters and the other Lords x platonic!reader

Word Count: 2.5k

Warnings: SPOILERS FOR RE8!!, insinuations to smut, talks about having children

Author’s Note: this is so wacky and i just now finished it. Its just for fun and an excuse to write domestic resident evil 8 characters. I had a blast doing it. Also it was loosely influenced by @/nerdymixedpan on tiktok who makes this kind of AU stuff! Highly recommend their tiktoks

Summary: An AU where Ethan didn’t kill any of the Lords and was convinced to stay, leave Mia (the crazy chick who tried to kill him and also worked for a sketchy company prior to that) and raise Rose with the Lords and the reader.

Genre: fluff

I don’t own these characters. They belong to author/director/creator

(not my gif)

You were walking around Dimitrescu castle, as you often did. You hopped between places when you could. You always went to sleep at the Heisenberg factory but you did get along well with the other Lords and liked to pay them a visit when you could.

It was actually Cassandra who asked for your presence. You had heard of course that the village was being attacked but you didn’t mind too much about that at the moment. Cassandra wanted you over at the castle, to try and talk some sense into Ethan Winters.

You had heard of Ethan at that point, of course. Everyone had. The father of the infamous Rose. But you didn’t think you would get to meet him.

So you came over there and knocked on Alcinas bedroom door. She swung it open, gazing down at you. She was no longer surprised when she came over and usually was quite pleased to have someone to talk to. Rarely did she speak to people outside her daughters and Mother Miranda and she had a responsibility to those people. She didn’t have a responsibility to you.

“What brings you along here? We’re a bit busy. I assume you’ve heard Ethan WInters has escaped Heisenbergs grasp.” You let out a huff of air and nodded.

“Yes, he was not pleased when he came back home. Cassandra called, said I should try and talk to him.”

“Cassandra wants him murdered.”

“Maybe she has some sympathy because of the baby,” you suggested. You gestured to the large castle. “Any idea where I can find him?” She shook her head, exasperated.

“If I had any idea, don’t you think I would have gone to find him already?” You nodded stiffly.

“I will look for him myself then. If you find a short person not in robes, double check to make sure it’s not me before you claw them,” you told her. She gave you a small smirk before you turned around and started back down the stairs.

You had free reign of the castle and had learned its insides and outs at this point. On occasion the girls asked you to stay over and hang out for a little while longer so you had slept there as well.

You started to check a couple of the rooms, walking around haphazardly. It was when you came to a room on the main floor that you found the Duke. He sat there and raised his eyebrows at the sight of you.

“You aren’t Ethan Winters,” he said.

“Ah so you’ve seen him. Care to point me in the right direction?” Duke shrugged a bit.

“He’ll be here eventually if you care to wait.” You let out a sigh. You could go searching but it was a sure bet that he will return to this spot. You pulled up a chair from the table there.

“Alright then. You selling any good food?”

=====

Ethan came running into the room as you were enjoying a nice dish. You stood up quickly, putting your dish down on the table. He had his gun up but dropped it at the sight of you.

“Are you a villager? Do you need help getting out?” he asked, clearly out of breath. You scoffed and shook your head.

“No, no. I’m here to talk to you Ethan.” He was still clearly frazzled. You grabbed your dish and held it up to him. “Care for some food?” you asked, hopefully as a peacemaker. He looked between you and the food and saw that you at least looked human.

He put his gun in his holster and took the food from you.

“Alright. What do you want to talk to me about?” he asked, sitting down at the table. “Who are you anyway?”

“This is Karl Heisenberg's pet,” said the Duke. You scoffed.

“Shush up, you’re not helping.” You sat beside Ethan. “Ethan, I know where Rose is.”

“You know where Rose is?! Where is she?!”

“Shush, let me finish.” You cleared your throat. “This whole thing, all of it, is about Mother Miranda. She took the place of Mia to try and take Rose away. She believes Rose will be a good vessel. Ethan, Lady Dimitrescu, Karl, none of the Lords are your enemy. It’s just Mother Miranda.”

“Well it looks like everyone is trying to kill me.” You shook your head.

“If you helped them kill Mother Miranda, they will let you keep Rose. In fact, I have it on good authority that most of them would love to help take care of her.” Ethan stared at you for a minute and leaned back. He had some food on his chin. You handed him a napkin and he took it gratefully. “And Ethan...Mia told Mother Miranda that you...you’re not exactly human.”

His eyes went wide.

“I’m sorry?”

“You’re mold Ethan.” He was silent for a very long time. Everything raced through his head. Why would he want to stay here? Granted the castle was nice...and these people did know how to save Rose...it would protect him from anything else Chris had planned that he didn’t know about.

And apparently, Mia had been keeping this secret for God knows how long.

It all seemed like too much for him.

“Take a second to take that in. I don’t want to rush you but I have to talk to the daughters about it.”

“You swear they’ll help me with Rose?”

“No one wants her to die, Ethan. We want Mother Miranda gone.” He leaned back in his chair.

“Why should I trust you?”

“I’m human. I’m not mold, I’m not an experiment. Just human. If I could live a happy life here, why can’t you and Rose?”

That made sense. If anything made sense, that did. Ethan took a deep breath.

“Fine. What do you need me to do?”

======

Some Time After The Death of Mother Miranda

“Have you seen Rose? She’s getting bigger everyday.” Karl was speaking when he walked into your room. You were sitting on the bed, flipping through a book. You looked up at him, a teasing smile on your face.

“What, now that you’ve killed Mother Miranda you’ve moved on to caring about the village baby?” you questioned, putting your hand in your palm. He gave you a look but you ignored him.

“You act as though you don’t want a baby every time you see her,” he commented. You scoffed.

“And it always ends up being pretty pleasurable for you doesn’t it?” You grabbed his hand and pushed him down on the bed so that he was sitting on the edge. You wrapped your arms around him from behind.

“You’re damn right.” He brought your hand up to kiss it. “Ethan’s going to Moreaus today, to swim around with Rose. He invited you,” Karl said. You raised an eyebrow.

“Did he invite me or do you want a nice night again?” He kissed your hand again and then kissed your wrist.

“You won’t know until you get there.”

“Fair point my love, fair point.” You kissed his cheek and got up. “I have lunch with Donna but I’ll try and catch up with Ethan afterwards. I may make it, I may not.” You slid off the bed. “Guess you’ll just have to wait to find out.”

He wanted to get up and drag you back but you were already walking out the door.

====

Ethan was by the water, holding Rose in his lap. She was truly getting bigger every day. Moreau was standing beside them, dry now. Ethan’s hair was damp. They must have just gotten done swimming.

“Good of you to join us,” Ethan said as you walked over.

“Salvatore, Ethan…” You leaned over Ethan to look Rose in the eyes. “Little Rosey. How was swimming you guys? Sorry it took so long, I was with Donna and lunch went overtime.” You sat down beside them.

“Rose was perfect,” Moreau said. “She’s a quick learner!” You nodded, looking over at her. You brought your finger up to her and she latched onto it.

“I believe it,” you said. Ethan locked eyes with you.

“I wanted you to come because I heard that Chris was trying to get into the factory.” You raised an eyebrow. You wrapped your arms around your knees and leaned against them.

“He’s still trying to get in here? I thought once Miranda was killed he would leave us alone.” Ethan shook his head.

“Apparently he wants Rose because she’s an asset now,” he muttered but he was looking down at his daughter who was reaching up to his face. He sighed. “She’s getting hungry.”

“You should probably take her back to the castle then.” That was where Ethan usually slept with her. He figured it would be easiest to keep Rose safe with four vampires around at all time that adored her.

“Yes my sister will be wondering where you are,” Moreau said. You nodded in agreement.

“I’ll tell Karl about Chris although I don’t think he’ll get past the Lycans. Then he has to worry about the machines that Karl makes and those are a hassle too. Not the brightest, but a hassle,” you admitted, standing. “I’ll walk you back.” Ethan nodded. You turned to Moreau. “I’ll see you later as well. Try to catch up on the TV show we were watching, I don’t wanna miss anything.”

“I will, of course!” he exclaimed. You smiled and then turned back to walk with Ethan and Rose back up to the Castle. You got into the boat.

“Can you hold her while I steer?” Ethan asked. You nodded and took Rose from him, cradling her in your arms. She was looking around, ever the well behaved child. Ethan started the boat and then you were off.

There was a few minutes of silence as he started to catch his bearings and you played with Rose. You and Ethan had grown close over the weeks he had lived there. He rarely knew peace and didn’t trust it that much but you always assured him that it would be alright.

“I was thinking of maybe starting to rebuild the village,” you said, looking up at him. He raised an eyebrow.

“By yourself?” You scoffed.

“No, obviously not. I’d get the help of everyone. Donna and Angie already wanna pitch in and I figure I could guilt trip Karl into helping, with his whole telepathy thing. I think it could be a fun project. Plus if you accidentally lose a hand you can put it right back on.”

He nudged you, laughing.

“I don’t think it’s a bad plan but who will live there?”

“Us maybe. Separate housing of course but it could be a home away from the Lords. And any villagers left stragglers around.”

“I don’t think there are any left,” he told you.

“Well have you checked?” He was silent. “Exactly. Rose may want a place for herself one day, who knows.” You looked back down at her. She was reaching up to play with your ear.

“She’ll need friends her own age one day,” he said, solemnly.

“We’ll see to that when it comes.” He looked back at you.

“Have you and Heisenberg ever talked about kids?” he teased. You laughed.

“We have our hands full with Rose and the thousands of metal children he makes on the daily,” you admitted. You glanced down at Rose again. “But maybe one day. He seems to be hinting at it and I don’t know...maybe it’s not such a bad idea.”

Ethan glanced back at you and then quickly looked away. You looked happy, curious, wondering.

“If it’s any help...I’m glad I had her. Even if she got me into this whole mess,” he said laughing a bit. You smiled up at him as he pulled into the dock.

“You want a little Heisenberg running around?” Ethan scoffed.

“I wouldn’t mind a little you. Rose could have a friend.” He got out of the boat and you handed him Rose. You got out as well.

“We’ll see. Karl may be banking on it.” You both started to walk back into town. At the castle entrance you had to part.

“I’ll see you tomorrow, if your legs still work.” You gasped, shoving him.

“You have a mouth on you Ethan Winters for living in a house with four other grown women,” you said. He laughed and went into the gate without saying anything else.

The walk back to the factory was a pleasant one. The sun was setting and the breeze was nice. Not too hot, not too cold.

You made it back to Karl in record timing. He wasn’t in the room so you went looking for him. He was in one of the work rooms, leaning over one of his new inventions. You walked up behind him and leaned over the head of the machinery.

“Hey there kitten! Back up, it might come alive at any second,” he muttered, moving you back. You nodded, stepping away from the table. He turned off his recording and turned around to look at you.

“Well how was swimming with Moreau?”

“And Rose and Ethan. I caught the tail end. She had fun though. You’re right, she is growing everyday.”

“I take it by you referencing our earlier conversation you remember how it ended.”

“I’m not doing it if this machine will come alive half way through and kill us.” Karl scoffed and took your hand.

“Up to the bedroom it is kitten!” You scoffed but let him drag you along, giggling the whole way up.

traitor || j.m

summary: jj moves on too quickly, while you can’t seem to move on at all.

WARNINGS: swearing, angst, mentions of marijuana use

pairing: jj maybank x fem!reader

a/n: this is based “traitor” by olivia rodrigo bc i’m obsessed with her and it has probably been done before but I like the idea. i’m not sure how much I like this but its 3am so i’m posting it anyway.

requests are open :)

word count: 1,044

*not proof-read*

Brown guilty eyes and little white lies

Yeah, I played dumb but I always knew

That you'd talk to her, maybe did even worse

I kept quiet so I could keep you 

“I’ve been excited to see you all day,” JJ had a goofy grin plastered on his face as he watched you hastily set down the cooler of beer you had been holding and run straight into his embrace. 

“I haven’t heard from you today, I was starting to think you ran off,” you lightly scolded JJ, nudging his shoulder. A guilty feeling erupted in his stomach and a nervous smile found its way to his lips. You pretended not to notice the blush that crept up his neck.

“No way, babe. If I run away, I’m taking you with me.” 

The pogues watched the interaction from the dock.

“Ew, this is so sappy. I think I’m gonna vomit,” Pope fake gagged, watching you giggle as JJ placed kisses all over your face. John B grimaced and nodded, flinching away as Kie slapped his shoulder.

Sarah grinned wildly as she watched the scene unfold.

“They’re good for each other,” she leaned into John B and rested her head on his shoulder.

The memory made you sob now. You had always thought that watching JJ fall in love with somebody else was the worst pain you’d ever feel, but watching him pretend to still be in love with you somehow felt worse. 

The lies and the guilt were almost too much to handle as you both pretended to be happy, not only for your friends’ sake but also your own.

You knew that JJ was sneaking around with some kook girl. She was a friend of Sarah’s. Her name was Hannah or something. Sarah had brought her along for a beach day a couple of weeks back and she and JJ had hit it off pretty well, sharing a blunt and laughing about god knows what. 

You weren’t stupid. You saw how he looked at her and how he listened so intently to every little thing she said.

JJ changed after that. He missed more dates, never showed up at the Chateau anymore, and was secretive. 

You knew deep down that he didn’t love you anymore but neither of you wanted to admit it and JJ was damn good at pretending like he still was, so nothing changed.

And ain't it funny

How you ran to her

The second that we called it quits? 

“When did you stop loving me?” You croaked out, your wet eyes stared holes through JJ. Another minor argument had ended in a screaming match.

“What? I do love you,” JJ insisted, his hands grabbing at your own. Tears filled his eyes. The moonlight reflected off the water as you stared out at the ocean.

“No, you don’t, JJ,” you whispered, tears streaming down your face as you slowly shook your head. 

JJ let out a choked sob and laid his head in your lap.

It took you two weeks

To go off and date her

Guess you didn't cheat

But you're still a traitor

Sarah stroked your hair softly as you sobbed into her lap. Kie’s hand ran up and down your back soothingly. JJ’s Instagram post was tattooed in your head. His hands rested on her waist and he grinned as they shared an ice cream cone. You were almost positive you had the same picture of the two of you on your Instagram two weeks ago.

John B had taken the role of “protective big brother,” furiously pacing throughout the living room of the Chateau, already plotting JJ’s murder in his mind. Pope played the peacemaker, attempting to calm John B down before he committed a crime.

“It’s been two weeks,” you sobbed, hugging Sarah tighter.

“He’s a fucking prick,” Kie muttered angrily.

Now you bring her around

Just to shut me down

Show her off like she's a new trophy 

The atmosphere was awkward as the bonfire crackled. John B and Kie sat on either side of you, muttering quiet reassurances. She hung off of JJ’s arm, laughing obnoxiously every time he whispered in her ear. His necklace was dangling around her neck. It all made you sick to your stomach. 

“We’re gonna head out,” JJ announced, standing up and playfully tossing her over his shoulder. Her loud laugh rang through the air as nobody said anything. JJ’s eyes fell on you, lingering for a moment before he regained his confidence and stalked off, the blonde girl on his shoulder bouncing with every step he took.

You betrayed me

'Cause I know that you'll never feel sorry

For the way I hurt, yeah

You'd talk to her

When we were together

You gave me your word

But that didn't matter

It took you two weeks

To go off and date her

Guess you didn't cheat

But you're still

You're still a traitor (ah-ah-ah)

Yeah, you're still a traitor 

JJ softly sat down beside you, his messy blonde hair fell in front of his face as he never looked up. He ran his hands through the soft sand, refusing to make eye contact with you as he struggled to speak.

“You deserved better,” he finally admitted, fiddling with a ring on his finger.

“Oh, bullshit, JJ,” you rolled your eyes, standing to leave. His hand grasped your wrist as he looked up at you pleadingly. You sighed and retook your place in the sand. 

“I loved you, Y/N,” he spoke softly, eyes glossing over with tears.

“Then why’d you let her come between us?” you pried. JJ didn’t answer, lowering his head in shame.

The two of you sat in silence for a few moments. You could feel JJ’s eyes on you. 

“Don’t look at me like that,” you scoffed, rolling your eyes.

“Like what?”

“Like you’re still in love with me.” 

“Maybe I am,” JJ’s hopeful eyes never left yours as he spoke slowly.

“No, JJ,” you scoffed, shaking your head.

“Y/N, please-”

“It’s over, it’s done, just leave it be.” You stood up, letting your legs carry you away from the beach and away from JJ. 

God, I wish that you had thought this through

Before I went and fell in love with you

Cassian and Azriel's reactions to the Archeron sisters

Everything will be supported by the text. English is not my first language, so sorry for any possible mistakes. Be kind and respectful!

I will begin this post with the scene that was the starting point of my thoughts.

The two Illyrians paused their inspection of me long enough to note my sisters finishing up breakfast, Nesta in a pale gray gown that brought out the steel in her eyes, Elain in dusty pink.

Both males went a bit still. But Azriel sketched a bow—while Cassian stalked for the dining table, reached right over Nesta’s shoulder, and grabbed a muffin from its little basket.

Very often Azriel and Cassian show the same reaction to the sisters (in this case, they go still). The scene above is a perfect example of that and of how SJM is always very faithful to the differences between the couples: there's a difference of personality, which will be the one I'll focus here, and of "romantic status". Differently from Nessian, Elain and Azriel were in love with different people when they met each other. We don't know what was their first impression of each other yet, but with this in mind and considering their personalities, makes sense that they needed to get close first, trust each other, and then develop feelings (SJM writes slow burns after all).

Cassian was sizing up Nesta, a gleam in his eyes that I could only interpret as a warrior finding himself faced with a new, interesting opponent.

“I can imagine,” Azriel said. Cassian flashed him a glare. But Azriel’s attention was on my sister, a polite, bland smile on his face. Her shoulders loosened a bit.

In their very first meet, the males were paying attention to each Archeron, but the way they were focusing on them is different. Look at the wording:

sizing up, warrior, opponent;

attention, polite smile;

While Cassian and Nesta "size each other up like opponents" and are loud/rough in terms of personality, Azriel and Elain are both quieter and acting like peacemakers. Here, please remember Feyre noticing how their personalities are similar:

Though she’d probably cling to Azriel, just to have some peace and quiet.

Basically while Cassian is always provoking Nesta, Azriel puts Elain at ease, because there's a difference of personality. It makes perfect sense that one of them is "enemies-to-lovers" and the other is "friends-to-lovers". Let's go back to the first scene:

“I can help her,” said Azriel, stepping to the table as Elain silently rose. No shadows at his ear, no darkness ringing his fingers as he extended a hand. Nesta monitored him like a hawk, but kept silent as Elain took his hand, and out they went. Cassian finished the muffin, licking his fingers. I could have sworn Nesta watched the entire thing with a sidelong glance. He grinned at her as if he knew it, too. “Ready for some flying, Nes?” “Don’t call me that.” The wrong thing to say, from the way Cassian’s eyes lit up.

Even though Cassian and Azriel's first instinct is the same (they go still), how they proceed is again different (Azriel extends his hand like a gentleman and Cassian is all cocky grins).

Cassian pressed one of his knives into Nesta’s hand. “Ash can kill you now,” he said with lethal quiet as she stared down at the blade. (...) “I told you to come to training,” Cassian said with a cocky grin, and strode off.

“This is Truth-Teller,” he told her softly. “I won’t be using it today—so I want you to.” (...) “It has never failed me once,” the shadowsinger said, the midday sun devoured by the dark blade. “Some people say it is magic and will always strike true.” He gently took her hand and pressed the hilt of the legendary blade into it. “It will serve you well.”

Just like Cassian, Azriel offered a blade to an Archeron sister so she could defend herself. Again, let's look at the wording:

Cassian pressed the one of his knives;

Azriel pressed the hilt of the legendary blade;

And again, Cassian: cocky, provokes Nesta; Azriel: softly, gently, puts Elain at ease. Of course, in the TT scene there's much more imagery (Light and Dark/ Death and the Fawn/ the fact that TT is not just one of Azriel's blades), but still both males have the same reaction when Nesta and Elain are about to face danger: they need to be able to defend themselves, so the males provide a blade.

From the shadows near the entrance to the tent, Azriel said, as if in answer to some unspoken debate, “I’m getting her back.” Nesta slid her gaze to the shadowsinger. Azriel’s hazel eyes glowed golden in the shadows. Nesta said, “Then you will die.” Azriel only repeated, glazing that stare, “I’m getting her back.”

They were speaking, Azriel with some urgency, but Cassian didn’t hear him, heard nothing but the roaring in his head before he said to no one in particular, “I’m going after them.”

They also have the same reaction when the sisters are in danger. As I said before: their first reaction is very similar or even the same in some cases. The major difference here is that we have Cassian's PoV and not Azriel's, but the similarities are so clear:

Unspoken debate = said to no one in particular

I'm getting her back = I'm going after them

Firstly it seems the males are lost in thoughts, so concern about the females, and then they declare they're going to rescue them.

“Do you know,” Cassian drawled to her, “that the last time I got into a brawl in this house, I was kicked out for a month?” Nesta’s burning gaze slid to him, still outraged—but hinted with incredulity.

“What did you see,” Azriel said, and I tried not to flinch as I found him at my other side, not having seen him move. Again. Elain paused halfway up the stairs. Slowly, she turned to look back at him.

It is also very interesting to notice how Cassian and Azriel are the ones that can intervene when the females are "experiencing" their powers. It's like Nesta and Elain use them as some kind of anchor - they both are "lost" in their powers, but can focus on Cassian and Azriel. If Cassian can help Nesta do a scrying, it's Azriel who listen and gets that Elain is a Seer.

Now one of my favorite parallels:

“Are you … happy?” Shadows darkened his hazel eyes. “I’m getting there.” A halfhearted answer. (Cassian, ACOFAS)

Shadows darkened his eyes, full of enough pain that she couldn’t stop herself from touching his shoulder. (Azriel, ACOSF)

Exact same wording. In ACOFAS, Cassian was struggling with his situation with Nesta, and in ACSF it's Azriel who is suffering because of his situation with Elain.

Speaking of ACOFAS, let me highlight this moment:

Nightmares about the moment when Cassian was near death and Nesta was sprawled over him, shielding him from that killing blow, and Elain—Elain—had taken up Azriel’s dagger and killed the King of Hybern instead.

I just find very interesting how the two biggest moments between the couples are brought up here. SJM could had just said Elain killed the king with TT, but she chose to associate that moment with Azriel (she does that very often). Anyway, moving on...

Amren drained her wine and said to Cassian, “Nesta has a week. One more week to find the Trove with her own methods. Then we seek out other routes.” She threw a nod toward Azriel. “Including Elain, who is more than capable of defending herself against the darkness of the Trove, if she chooses to. Don’t underestimate her.”

Cassian and Azriel looked to Rhys, who merely sipped from his own wine.

Here, we have the males reacting to the females getting involve with the Trove (Azriel stiffened/ Cassian growled); then Amren speaks with Cassian about Nesta, and with Azriel about Elain; then both males look to Rhysand

And of course (I'll be brief because there are lots of posts about these lines):

Stupid, stupid, stupid— He didn’t care. Didn’t give a shit as she rose up on her toes, her mouth nearing his—

It was so wrong. He didn't care. He needed to know what her skin tasted like (...) Rhys's voice thundered through him, halting him mere inches from Elain's sweet mouth.

In both bonus chapters, Cassian and Azriel "don't care" about the possible problems and struggles, all they care about is the female before them. Not only the wording is the same, but in both cases the couples almost kiss.

That's the formula right there.

(Her scent) It hit him in the gut so hard he could barely focus, and it took five centuries of training to make himself meet her eyes rather than let his own roll back into his head.

Her arousal drifted up to him and his eyes nearly roll back into his head at sweet scent.

Basically the way these two are affected by the Archeron sisters is practically the same in both bonus chapters. Speaking of that:

I assumed seeing Nesta went about as poorly as could be imagined, because my lesson the following morning was longer and harder than it’d been in previous days. I’d asked what, exactly, Nesta had said to him to get under his skin so easily. But Cassian had only snarled and told me to mind my own business, and that my family was full of bossy, know-it-all females.

Three days passed with no word from Cassian. He’d been replaced in training by a stone-faced Azriel, who was more aloof than usual and wouldn’t even give her a smile.

Cassian in the next morning was still affected by what happened in Wings & Embers, and Azriel - three days later - was still affected by what happened in his bonus chapter. Not only that: these are the only direct references to the bonus chapters in the actual books. The major difference here is that SJM wrote Elain as Azriel's secret, so only the readers that have access to the bonus chapter know why he couldn't even smile (very similar to "Cassian only snarled"). Naturally there's a difference of personality, too: Cassian snarling, totally pissed off/ Azriel more aloof, stone-faced.

It's very clear the direction SJM is going.

hello i would like to offer some gender neutral sapphic reader & vigilante (adrian chase) platonic hcs!! (dedicated to @prettybard my bff hehe)

- i love the idea of being childhood bffs with adrian, like getting to grow up next to him and watching him envy his older brother because his older brother always got to spend more time with THE chris smith 

-  of course you both r nerds and you guys watch cable tv shows (esp sitcoms and mystery tv shows) every evening and do homework together because you guys live in the same neighborhood. also on the weekends you guys build legos and play D&D with your other friends. he’s also a pokémon card collector and he was the one who convinced you to start collecting too. OH ALSO!! you both LOVE going to the local comic book shop on your way home after school and the owner always sets aside new shipments of your guys’ favorite comics aside for you two to read

- you guys tell each other ur first crush and honestly you guys don’t even need to come out to each other bcs its pretty obvious you guys are gay as Hell but you’re the first one to bring up crushes and when adrian’s like “oh yeah well you know im into guys” you’re like “the cover of your diary is literally . chris’ yearbook photo” 

- you guys are THE best friends in the town like everybody knows that wherever you go, adrian goes. that also means that whenever one of you two is in trouble, generally the other is also in trouble

- you guys both go to a local college but it’s a really difficult time for you both and you notice that adrian starts disappearing more often and he shuts himself off from you. you’re obviously upset because you guys are bffs!! and you’re also worried because you’ve heard reports of some guy named vigilante who’s been going around town doing shit. you got to fennel fields to try to find him bcs u think he’s just busy at his job but he’s not there

- you ask him one day what’s up and when he doesn’t answer, you storm off. later you come back to his apartment and he’s literally covered in bIood and wearing the vigilante costume. he’s like “oh god please dont tell me i have to kill you now too.” and you’re like “WTF!! IS GOING ON!!” he doesnt kill you (thankfully) and he explains his whole vigilante thing and he’s like “do you wanna meet peacemaker?? we’re bffs” and you’re like “chris??? you’re friends with him now?? hello???” 

- anyway so he brings you to meet peacemaker, leota, emilia, and economos. when u see leota she gives u a look like she Knows What u are already (gay) and also u see emilia and you’re like “yo adrian can u give me emilia’s number” and adrian who doesnt understand social cues loudly shouts from across the room “hey emilia, can you give my friend your number? they think you’re hot!” and you literally want to shrivel up into a small hole and never see the light of day again

- but after this!! u promise to help adrian as long as he doesn’t hurt anyone who’s good and as long as you two can keep being friends which of course he agrees to :)
