(⊃。•́‿•̀。)⊃ EARTH 42 MILES ROMANCE HCS
PAIRING: MILES G. MORALES X FEM READER
SUMMARY: RELATIONSHIP W/ MILES
INSPIRED BY: @cyb3rspyd3r
REQUESTS ARE OPEN!
___________________________________________________
MILES MORALES WHO IS SO IN LOVE WITH YOU whenever you leave your phone with him when you leave the room, he’s going through.. in a way to make sure you’re behaving the way you promise him you are, to see what new numbers you have in your phone, to see if you talk about him with your friends, anything that shows him he isn’t wasting his time by being with you.. don’t mistake that for him not trusting you… he does, he’s just a nosy bastard.
MILES MORALES WHO IS SO IN LOVE WITH YOU his mood can be adjusted by the sheer sight of you, let’s say he’s mad about something.. maybe his counselor was feeding him bullshit about his future; that he needed to mention the fact he was struggling in order for colleges to give him any kind of time of day… that pissed him off, because who are you.. to tell him that he’s just a struggling poor kid but the second he laid his eyes on you.. he was smiling again, and forgot why he was mad in the first place
“ whatchu smilin’ all hard for?”
“ nothin… I just.. like being around you, mama.”
MILES MORALES WHO IS SO IN LOVE WITH YOU the littlest things will remind him of you, miles morales.. who is so in love with you.. that he once gave you a rock he found on the ground because it had a smooth front, and he remembered the time your arms were smooth after shaving.. that he couldn’t stop touching them, even when you wore long sleeves; he’d just sneak two fingers into your sleeve and run them down your arm.. it would usually be a surprise too..
“ eek- what! miles?! can you get your cold ass fingers off me.. please..”
“ mami.. c’mon, you feel so good though.. like a countertop or sum.”
“ boy… you stupid if that’s the only thing you can compare it too..”
“ stupidly in love with you.. that’s the only thing I’m stupid in.. don’t play with me before I fuck you up.”
“ nigga.. miles shut the fuck up, you ain’t touching me niggatron..”
“ …”
“ yeah exactly..”
“ oh, no.. trust.. I will take care of that attitude.. but what the fuck is a niggatron..?”
MILES MORALES WHO IS SO IN LOVE WITH YOU that he takes pride in being your ‘ mini me’ every single saying that you have said around him; he’s said it around his friends, his uncle, everyone.. it just slips out, like one time he accidentally said one thing you say quite often around his uncle, after his uncle
“ girl..you did not eat that.. you thought you did, but I still see the lil ceasar’s hot and ready on the table.. why is that?”
“ nigga what?”
MILES MORALES WHO IS SO IN LOVE WITH YOU he never says no to you, whatever you want.. he will get it.. if it’s within his budget.. he’s fifteen years old not a sugar daddy, as well as the fact his mother is struggling with the bills so most of his money goes towards her; but with the extra money she refuses to take from him.. you’re spoiled with it.. if he hears you need a new lip liner, he’s asking what color.. suggesting a reddish brown or a black, his favorite colors on you.. if you want a new stuffed animal he’s buying one from the nearest store, while he usually has to stretch his dollar, and most trips are made with him asking you which one you need more.. a teddy bear.. or chick fil a, and he gets whichever one you want more.
“ mama..”
“ you can’t rush perfection, miles! I’m thinking..”
“ girl.. perfection? I asked you if you wanted ice cream now or chipotle later..”
MILES MORALES WHO IS SO IN LOVE WITH YOU he tells everyone who will listen all the wonderful things about you.. and by wonderful I mean everything you did.. whenever his girlfriend is mentioned or the possibility of hanging out with someone who isn’t you.. he will start yapping about you
“ hey man.. you coming over to TJ’s? we gon be playing basketball.. and then going down to the mall.. “
“ nah man, my girl said she wanted to come over tonight.. meet my ma n shit..”
“ man.. didn’t you have your girl over last night too? “
“ yeah .. she comin to meet my mami tonight though.”
“ she couldn’t have met her last night?”
“ my ma be at work.. ion think she even remember me telling her about my girl, to be honest with you mane.”
MILES MORALES WHO IS SO IN LOVE WITH YOU he steals his uncle’s car to see you late at night, he knocks on your window at two in the morning, because his uncle is working… not a normal job but that job, so he drives over there.. illegally may I add; since he’s 15, he only has his learners. he does this just to lay in bed with you, to spoon you and tell you how much he loves you.. how much he lives for you
“ I love you.. so much, [name] you make my life.. so easy.. so tolerable.. I’m not as.. sad and depressed now that you’re with me, I love staying and being with you. you make my world brighter, you make my life better.. I love you, I can’t imagine a world with you.. cariño..”
MILES MORALES WHO IS SO IN LOVE WITH YOU he asked you to marry him one day, he had gave you a plastic ring he got from one of those coin machines when he was going to wash clothes with his mom; he had got a pretty one that had a plastic gem shaped into a heart.. he told you how much he valued you.. how much he cared, how he never wanted to lose you.. how he knew you two were only teenagers.. but he wanted to be with you forever nonetheless.
MILES MORALES WHO IS SO IN LOVE WITH YOU that he has your face plastered on every social media platform he has, your face is his profile picture on the very few he has. ( instagram, twitter, & tiktok.. he has snapchat too, where the main things he posts are just recycled videos he already sent you, and a private story with all the girls he knows has a crush on him added, and he just show cases your love)
MILES MORALES WHO IS SO IN LOVE WITH YOU after the first date, he walked into his room with a big grin on his face. you two had went to the aquarium, and he saw a shark plushie he wanted but didn’t have enough money for.. and you had bought it for him.. no hesitation.. he was so in love with you in that moment.. that he had named it after you.
“ I don’t give a fuck if this shark a boy.. his name gon be [name] today.”
overall.. he’s just so in love with you.. he’d do whatever it takes to make sure you know he loves you.

A belated list of things Redditors should know about Tumblr
The Ides of March (March 15th) is basically a Tumblr holiday. Get ready for Ceasar references around that time of year.
Folks on Tumblr absolutely love dragging and joking about this guy called Ea-Nasir. He’s a guy from 3,800 years ago who was basically a con man and is the subject of the world’s oldest-known customer service complaint letter. 
Always tag your posts for heavy topics that might trigger someone
Don’t use euphemisms for heavy topics when tagging your posts – this makes it hard for people to avoid the topics that trigger them.
You can blacklist topics that trigger or bother you.
You can block people you don’t want to interact with. You don’t need to feel bad about it or have a deep reason for it. You get to curate your experience on here and you don’t owe anybody an explanation.
Go to your settings and change it so that you can see the date a post was blogged. This comes in really useful for when you see news articles.
You can have as many blogs as you want! Some people have a mixed-topic blog that they consider their personal blog and then have themed blogs for their interests while others just have the one blog. Do whatever feels comfortable for you.

rating one piece guys and whether they'd get pregnant or have an abortion
shanks: if you think his ass is gonna raise a child you're Wrong! abortion
crocodile: HIS ASS WOULD NOTTTTT HAVE A BABY. the crocodile is luffy's parent theory is so wrong because the second he finds out he's having a baby he's aborting that thing so fast
buggy: i dont think he'd have an abortion but i think he'd detach his pregnant tummy from his body until he's ready to give birth. actually now that i think about it he could probably give birth completely painless. his ass can chop part of his stomach off and just pull the baby out and then put himself back together again. yea he's 1000% giving birth and making it look completely easy too
doflamingo: he doesnt have sex so he cant get pregnant
law: depends, i think he'd have an abortion but also he could probably also give birth extremely easy. also with his devil fruit he could probably just let the baby grow outside of his body i think it'd work it'd just be super complicated. nobody would even know he's pregnant. so yea he can give birth if he feels like it
smoker: i dont think he can get pregnant
enel: he looks like eminem. he gets absolutely no fucking bitches
ceasar clown: i think he'd give birth just so he can experiment on the baby
dragon: he already got pregnant
brook: i think he could do it
roger: he would 100% be down to be pregnant
franky: i dont think he's physically capable of getting pregnant considering the fact that he replaced his stomach with a mini fridge but i think he'd be willing to try
foxy: yea he gets crazy bitches. abortion

Hunger Games & Descendants crossover
Aka me showing Descendants characters into vaguely hunger games setting because it sparks joy. Keeping one (1) Hunger Games character: Ceasar Flickerman, for the reason that Descendants Verse moderator (Snow White) would faint within a minute of having to share a stage with exhibitionistic pirates.
Also. Haymitch. I feel like he and Harriet & James Hook should meet.
Anyway.
(I hope you don't expect any plot)
The Hooks are the Fourth District. The sea side one. Uma, too, and the Smees.
James Hook is a Victor long past, and he lost a hand in his games. He had it replaced by a hook, because he's committing to the bit. Drama queen. He's a Capitol favourite and still very much haunted by the children he fought in his arena. (He's so perfect for this au, I can't)
Harriet is also a Victor, from two years prior.
She volunteered and didn't have a good time ever since. (Didn't have a good time ever ✨)
She didn't lose a hand. This does not stop the Capitol from styling her with a hook.
Both of them are rather heavy alcoholics by this point.
Harriet was a difficult Victor. Stubborn and way too happy to speak her mind. It took Capitol pointing at her siblings and going „If you don't shut up, they'll be next“ to get her to cooperate.
She shut up. She was not happy about it but she's not letting her siblings die in the arena – or otherwise.
Either way, after her, the Capitol needed a Good Victor (tm). They found their Victor in Claudine Frollo, a brainwashed career from District One.
She was ready to lie on her knife for her (District) people rebelling against the Capitol, but her Games were pretty heavily rigged. She was not allowed near sharp things by the gamemakers.
Her trauma from the arena is unsurprisingly not helping. Claudine gets unresponsive for huge amounts of time, and she's still not allowed near sharp things.
„You were raised in a fucking cult!“ „...oh.“ This conversation between Harriet and Claudine definitely happens. Harriet is this close to snapping at Claudine at live TV.
Either way, deal somewhat holds, right? Younger Hook siblings are not reaped.
... wouldn't be the Hooks if there wasn't more chaos, okay?
Next year, Uma is reaped, and there is no way Harry is letting her go alone. He volunteers before the boys are even reaped, threatening murder to career girls who didn't take Uma's place and career boys who would take his in the same breath.
This flies, because Capitol lives for drama.
Also, surprisingly, Uma's reaping wasn't rigged. And even if it was, she was not a part of any deal.
Ursula was an actress, a singer, dragged to Capitol from District four and tossed back when they got bored; when she got too old or otherwise unsuitable. She blames Uma for this. Her most famous role was that of a Sea Witch because Why Not.
Uma wasn't a career, but Harry was. He didn't graduate yet, and his older sister insisted he doesn't volunteer.
Anyway. Since this is AU, I feel like it should be possible for the Games to have multiple Victors if the people like them enough.
It's not something common, but it can happen. It has happened before.
Mulan and Shang pulled it off. Mulan while posing as her brother or male cousin all the while. It was one of the earlier games, but people loved it. (Consequently, their son got reaped the year before Harriet. Pure coincidence, you see. He survived, though.)
The other people winning together were Raya and Namaari, because I said so. They had no children for reasons called "they're lesbians, your honour."
And Uma and Harry are gonna win together too because this is MY self-indulgent AU with zero actual plot.
They're having way too much fun on the stage. Survival instinct (the bit that Uma has) gets overshadowed by the need to a) shock as much people as possible and b) drama✨
They end up making out at the tribute interview. Ceasar is having the time of his life. He hasn't had this interesting tributes since Harriet Hook and Ivy de Vil.
(they obviously make out at the Victors interview too)
De Vils now, yeah?
Third district. Technology, for Carlos. They're inovators, the driving force.
Cruella, much like Hook, is a victor of long past. She went mad in her Games. Her victor talent is fashion, obviously, and Capitol has no problems with the more unethical aspects of her designs.
Her reaping-age relatives have the unfortunate tendency to, well, get reaped. She lost a brother, two nephews and a niece this way.
You see, de Vils are rebels. They need to stand out, they need to be heard. (Much like Hooks, but in better clothes, thank you for asking.)
Ivy was the last one reaped. Now, she knew her odds – one in twenty four and worse yet. The Capitol is not letting a de Vil win again.
Consequently, she might have started riot on her tribute interview. I mean, what are they gonna do? Kill her?
Yeah, I thought so.
I'm getting lost, aren't I.
Tremaines. Officers family from District Eight that thinks themselves way too important (they really aren't). All accusations of Anthony's reaping being rigged will be denied.
Anthony is in the same games as Uma and Harry because Drama.
His stylist is Audrey Rose who got caught high in public one too many times. But hey. They're vibing. Also, this conversation:
Anthony, talking about Harriet: "... she's just so pretty-“
Audrey, an aro ace, just trying to do her job: „...I suppose? She could use to wear something different than the red, and a bit less eyeliner...“
(Ginny, barging in: „YES SHE IS.“)
(I'm projecting on Audrey and you cannot stop me.) (She isn't being mean, she's just struggling to see it.) (Struggling in general. Girl is dissociating more than not, but actually trying her best as a tribute stylist.) (She and Claudine should meet. Attend some therapy together.)
Ginny is Capitol, too. She's a medical student, a medic apprentice, whatever you want to call it. Aesthetics and cosmetics surgery specifically. She's shadowing some doctors at tribute-victor-centre.
Which, let's be honest, mainly means that she, Anthony and Harriet can meet ✨
Like Anthony, she thinks that Harriet is gorgeous. She thinks the same about Anthony.
She flatlines Anthony's medical tracker while he's sleeping but still very much alive in the arena. This goes unnoticed because Harry and Uma are kicking up too much drama. And Ginny and Anthony are pretty good at disguises.
Faciliers. They live in Capitol. With documents that are certainly both legal and theirs.
But hey. No one is gping to kick them out. They smuggle in expensive drugs and absinth and other interesting stuff.
They also know way too much blackmail.
Celia and Freddie have accidentally befriended the gamemakers while making deliveries and now the gamemakers let them play a bit and design new fun mutts!
(Stuff of nightmares, I tell you)
Mal is a way too Capitol-propaganda enthusiastic Victor from one of the poor Districts.
Jay is from District Two, a secret rebel. Jade died in the Games.
Oh! CJ sneaked into the Capitol with her older siblings despite being specifically forbidden to do so, and is now setting something on fire. Ceasar practically gave her a permission by calling her "a little firecracker" in the interview with Harry.
The Smees were supposed to watch her, but the Smees couldn't be paid enough for that.
I'm almost certain I forgot someone. Please, ask if I did or if you find something interesting and want me to elaborate?

Let me know if I missed anymore fanfic is under the cut.
……………………………………………………………………………
The ominous sound of a mobile looming above your head awakens you from your peaceful slumber, as your drowsy form slowly awakens vision clearing you notice that your in some kind of cage?, no a bassinet!
‘Why the hell am I in a bassinet! I’m no infant’ you thought faded memories finally coming back to you after a few minutes.
*flashback*
“JOJO” you screamed in concern, your dear friend Joseph joestar was fighting against men he was no where near prepared to go up against. the pillarmen. Jojo had tried to use his clackervolley to try and bring down the adopted son and underling of the pillarmen, whamu however morphed his body away from the clackervolley and sliced Joseph’s wrists open, he had less than a minute to live.
Tears running down your face you charge towards whamu fist outstretched to try and land a punch on him only for whamu to push you onto the ground chucking lightly “your pathetic display tiny human is amusing to me”. Your brows furrowed in anger you noticed the other pillarmen staring at your namely Kars. “gentle with this one whamu she is only young, I sense a power in her she must be raised correctly to unleash this power and who better than us the ultimate beings” kars interjected. “Come little one let’s go home and away from these humans forcing you to act older than you are, it’s humans like you that disgust me the most” kars sneered to Joseph and ceasar.
Eisdisi nodded towards whamu and at that point everything was a faded blur, your brain didn’t have the energy to even try to remember.
*end of flash back*
‘Oh no, I’ve been kidnapped!’ You thought your mind in a state of panic and fear ‘even worse they think I’m some infant’ as you got lost in your thoughts you didn’t notice the door silently opening and dark figure making his way towards you. You only noticed the presence when your felt a dark shadow leer over you, it was kars!
“I see your awake tiny human, you must be confused as to what’s going on but you have nothing to fear your daddy is here now” Kars spoke quietly attempting to not scare you further but failing. “I will explain after we have gotten you ready and fed” kars finished reaching out towards you, only then did you notice the soft fabric pinned around your hips and the baby bottle in kars hand.
You tried to shuffle away and protest only for Kars to swaddle you in a soft fabric and carry you to a changing table. “I noticed you have not used your nappy, we will have to remedy that we can not have our little one getting sick” kars made quick work of your clothes and changed your into a light pink footed sleeper, he carried you into a large hall with a throne in surrounded by vampires.
Sitting down in the throne kars positioned you into the crook of his arm with your head supported you tried to protest but no sound would come out. Kars shoved the bottle into your mouth but you refused to drink sputtering and choking on the warm milk, he snapped his fingers and one of his vampires came with another piece of fabric and laid it over your chest to act as a bib “don’t tell me your too young for a bottle little one, we have ways to remedy that too” kars said with a light smirk, you quickly started drinking after that not wanting to know what he meant.
Before you knew it the bottle was empty and there was a warm heavy feeling in your tummy. You were confused when kars lifted you over his shoulder and started parting your back, a loud burp erupted from you causing your cheeks to flame in embarrassment, “that good huh” kars hummed lightly. You buried your face in his chest to embarrassed to face him again, kars snapped his fingers again and another vampire came and bowed before him “go fetch eisidisi and whamu to meet our new little one” and as quickly as the vampire came he left, meanwhile all you could think was ‘can this get any worse’
To be continued…
That was part one maybe a part two depending on the reaction to this please leave constructive criticism as I have not written in years and tell me if any warnings are missing thank you for reading goodbye

Cheap and Easy Meal Ideas
- simple yogurt bowls. I like vanilla, but I accidentally bought plain recently, so I add honey to sweeten it and add granola. if we have some I also add blueberries or other fruit
- bagel with cream cheese. I like blueberry protein bagels (I struggle to eat enough) with strawberry cream cheese, but my partner likes peanut butter on his bagels.
- cubed chese with cherry tomatoes, I skewer them on toothpicks. I use sharp cedar and Colby jack just because that is our favorite and cheap for blocks of cheese
- bag salad, toast, and ceasar dressing. i bulk make salad since i use it each day for lunch so I add an extra bit of dressing to the toast depending on how much is already in the salad and I either make a sandwich with extra vegetables if we have any, or i eat it on one slice
- pasta with butter. just boiling so pasta and throwing it into a bowl with a fork full of butter. this is harder for me since it uses a stove, but dinner foods are good too ^^
- tuna and rice. having a rice cooker is great since it can schedule rice to be ready when I get off from work. I add a bit of regular mayo and rice vinegar and canned tuna. for a spicier take, you can add sriracha. also kewpie mayo makes a good alternative if you have it
reblog with your own easy cheap meals

Sour Comments
Ship: Effie Trinket/Haymitch Abernathy
Fandom: Hunger Games
Genre: Hurt/Comfort? idk
you can also read this on AO3! <3
The penthouse was eerily silent. Tulsia and Tallia, the new stylists, were asleep on the couch and he was reclining on one of the armchairs, holding a half-empty glass of whiskey, his eyes trained on the screens in front of him. Of his two tributes only the boy was left, currently hiding behind a hedge.
They had no chance of winning. It was late now, and he almost wished he could succumb to his fatigue. It would have certainly been easier, and yet something was gnawing him from the inside, a nasty feeling that resembled guilt.
If the year before someone had told him he’d find a way to make Effie Trinket shut up, he wouldn’t have believed them. Or maybe, he would have paid them to know how to.
And yet, to his dismay, he achieved it. After one of her usual nagging sessions on what he must do- or mustn’t do, because propriety and duty- and a bickering fight, he’d taken it too far. He’d snapped at her and told her that no one cared about what she had to say, that he would have given anything to be rid of her. He’d said it in front of the stylists who, being two airheads, had giggled at his words.
He’d expected her to ignore his words, continue her nagging, maybe storm off in a flurry of lace and colours, as usual. But her skin had suddenly lost what little colour transpired through the powders, her purple lips had started quivering. Before fully realizing what he’d done, she had retreated and left him to his peace.
On the first day, he’d drank himself into a stupor, undisturbed. He was used to being found by Effie, who would tuck him to sleep onto the nearest soft surface she could find and would leave a damp fresh cloth on his forehead. Instead, Venia was the one to find him sprawled on the floor, tasked with reminding him of a meeting with a sponsor.
It hadn’t been fun, and his back was still complaining.
He didn’t believe she’d stick to her resolve for long, but he hadn’t seen or heard from her (not counting Venia’s messenger duties) in five days. She’d even left the penthouse. And the cherry on top, no one seemed inclined to tell him where she was, not even Octavia, who was usually the more talkative one of the bunch.
Chaff and Brutus cheered him on for finally getting rid of his escort, because when there is no one to do damage control “gossip flies”, but Finnick’s disapproving gaze dampened what little respite he could find.
He kept his eyes trained on the screens, trying to spot his tribute behind the bushes, but the kid was well hidden from the camera’s angle and that was a small victory.
Then it happened.
One moment his tribute was eating wild fruit from the damn hedge, the next the visual started to shake. A deafening noise filled the room and then waves in the arena. Sweeping off everything they met.
“It seems that an earthquake in the arena has broken a dam!”
Ceasar Flickerman’s voice explained, not that it was needed. The floods kept going, quickly turning the arena into a bath of dirt and pieces of debris floating in the water. He didn’t know why he was surprised, he should have expected a bold move from the Gamemakers. That year was boring even for the Careers, who seemed lazy in their takeover.
Yet, he couldn’t stop thinking about the boy. What was his name? He couldn’t recall. Effie was the one who always remembered, the one who usually filled the forms and prepared everything necessary. By the time he was allowed to go back home, the children’s graves he’d have to bring with him were already sealed and ready for the ride.
Who did he have to call, now, that Effie seemed to have vanished into thin air? If she was handling the schedules and the meetings, maybe she was also going to deal with the homecoming procedures. And then… and then he’d be free for a year.
Would he still have his escort? Would they find him another one? Did she already fill out the resignation forms?
As Ceasar announced the winner of the 70th Hunger Games, the sly girl from four who’d spent the entire time undetected by the other contestants, he realized he couldn’t stand being there. For the first time in ten years, he was alone.
Liviana Albus, the escort who’d reaped him, escorted Twelve until the ripe age of 58. It wasn’t usual, and she didn’t show more than forty due to all the expected surgeries, but finding an escort for District Twelve was an endeavour. At first, she’d seemed happy with him. She’d basked in the glory of being the winning District’s escort for the first time in years, favouring his company over his mentor’s. When his family was killed and his drinking had become a problem she’d already become disillusioned with him, resorting to mean remarks and mocking.
And if it wasn’t that it was the cold shoulders.
She’d stayed so long only because she was begged by the Gamemakers, who were trying to postpone as much as possible the search for a District that seemed to be doomed from the start.
Then came Effie Trinket. A pretty little thing, clad in ridiculous dresses that contrasted with Liviana’s stern fashion sense, her Capitol accent accompanied by flamboyant mannerisms.
He’d wanted to crush her from the start, make the ambitious glint in her eyes disappear. He’d tried everything, and yet the woman seemed indestructible, bestowed by nature with unnatural strength and determination. A hell of a woman.
He discovered a lot about her, during all those years; she adored the taste of strawberry wine, her natural hair was the shade of the yellow sun when it set over the meadow, and her nanny could never raise a hand on her because her skinned marked so easily. But most of all, down the line, he realized she cared.
She cared about the children and cared about their survival enough to do things no other escort would. She’d cry. Each time one of their- she called them that- children died, he would always find her sniffling in a corner, muttering something about promotions and other nonsense while smiling through the tears. He learned to read her, find meaning in her words.
Most terrifyingly, she cared about him too. It showed in the protective touch on his shoulder or arm while confronting Peacekeepers when she had to take care of some mess he’d created. It showed when she’d stroke his hair while he was half-unconscious on her lap, or when she’d kiss him after a particularly hard day. When she’d caress him softly when he rutted inside her, making him angrier with her and himself.
But there is only so much patience one can hold, and Effie, without the heels, was quite tiny. He humiliated her in front of the staff members once again, and she was done.
Done with him.
He hated himself for that feeling that kept turning into his gut, making even the booze unwelcome. She was supposed to be a release against the Capitol, her insides the nice place to dump his hatred for her kind and for everything he and the reaped children had to live. But he cared.
He’d been callous with her, so much that she’d become… something for him. Something he’d never felt before, something he relied on even despite common sense. When she was there he wasn’t a waste. He just was.
He settled the glass on the table in front of him, thinking that maybe it was right. He shouldn’t have cared, but now he did and it was better if she stayed far away from him. Safe from him. At least she’d live, fulfilling her family’s wishes, finding joy in the silly things she liked, finding love in someone who wasn’t dangerous to love. He would numb that pain too eventually.
It took him a moment to register the soft clicking of heels against the polished floors of the penthouse. It could have been Venia, Octavia, or literally anyone, but he could feel it was her and he cursed the relief that rushed through him the moment he turned to meet her eyes.
She froze on her steps, but then moved closer and sat on the arm of his chair, sighing.
“I thought Jaxton would have survived” she whispered, her voice cracking just a bit.
“Told you to never raise your hopes, sweetheart”.
Silence followed this exchange, and he looked up at her, finding her enthralled by whatever was going on in the screens.
“So, when is it that I will meet my new escort? Please, tell her I’m done with ties” he joked, but it fell flat. He was fishing for answers, and she knew him enough to detect the worry in his voice.
“New escort? Ha, Haymitch, you will be sorry to know it will take more than a few days of absence for me to leave unless I get a promotion, which by the way has been suggested. Finnick wanted to move a few strings, but now that Four has won no one will be able to touch it, so rest assured I’m staying and will be even more assertive”.
“Don’t care what you do or don’t do sweetheart, just remember the bit about the ties” he snorted, trying to ignore the thrill he felt when her hand rested on his thigh.
Tullia stirred slightly, and Effie’s hand rose in case she’d wake up, but she snuggled close to her sister and went back to sleep right away.
Effie leaned over and whispered in his ear.
“I’ll ask for a change of stylists next year. If you have any… sour comments to make, I’d rather you voice them in private next time. I don’t take kindly to ridicule”.
“Impressive, given the costumes you insist on wearing”.
Point taken.
They stayed in companionable silence for a while, watching the uproar on the screens. And when his hand moved to cover hers, neither of them commented on it.

I just want to remind everyone that in Dec. 2022, a certain blog (the same one that is now spreading info about engagement) also got info about a possible pap walk in Costa Rica and a reservation was made in Planet Hollywood under the name of Chris Evans. It was also claimed that the same credit card number was used as it was used in Ceasars Palace in Las Vegas.
The said rumor never came true and we never got any pap pics. No proof was provided, The rumor was debunked due to the fact credit card info can not be known by any employee at the Ceasars. Also, Chris would never go to Hollywood Planet where he would be recognized easily.
It never stops to amaze me how quickly people forget certain blogs have been proven wrong in the past but still want to believe whatever comes out of their blogs without questioning.
And when did DM start getting "scoops"? When did DM become so legit? The same DM was convincing people that Harry was ready to propose to Olivia just a few days before their break-up article got published. The same DM that believes Taylor got married to Joe but got divorced and no one knows that except them?

ALL im saying is if u gave me fuck u money i'd write a fanfic where, for some reason i will come up w later, katniss doesn't/can't volunteer for prim during the reaping.
so we get prim and peeta in the hunger games, hamish and effie coaching them as best they can. and prim is, ofc tiny and scared and like. 11 or whatever (i forgor ages), and peeta is like ":) ok new plan: make sure katniss gets her little sister back!" meanwhile hamish is like "do i even know a kind of self defense that works for someone the size of perhaps a small potato or large hamster????" and effie is like "oh dear lord. oh jesus. she's just solidly gonna die huh??? oh god i need a career change???" and prim, after the shock has worn off, is like "oh shit i have a sister (and mom ig) to get back to. i gotta live thru this."
so prim is like solidly understanding she's not winning against careers in combat. she focuses on any other skill she can get-- medicine to patch herself up, camouflage from peeta, shmoozing for sympathy points (with incredible success, bc she knows who she is and what she looks like), and once she meets the other tributes she manages to worm some useful info on a few things out of a few other tributes who r like "oh poor thing won't survive the cornucopia" and, most notably, she becomes besties w rue.
and so peeta plays his angle of "i just wanna get back to the girl i love uwu," but doesn't bring prim into it as katniss's sister v much bc he knows that would put a target on her back, he instead paints himself as this big ol' sap that'll be easy pickings (if you can find him) so it looks like district 12 just spat out some softies this year (everyone back home is preemptively mourning). maybe he drops one line abt "i will do anything to get prim home safe" w kinda a looking-directly-into-the-camera-kubrick-stare moment.
meanwhile prim is like "rue. bestie. it might be great for us to play our friendship to the camera a bunch? for ratings?? ppl send us things for free??" and rue is like "aight sure yea lets do it" so they do it-- and if my lesbian ass has her way maybe they have little tiny baby crushes and like. hold hands or somn. idk ceasar would play it up and soon we've got the whole capitol like 'THE BABIES OH GAWD NO' and so the star-crossed lovers thing still happens, but with prim and rue. the capitol loses it's shit, bc they're on the way younger side, with baby faces, who have been playing up how tiny and defenseless they are to anyone who will listen for clout and donations.
with a push from peeta/haymitch/effie, ceasar's little-babies-who-will-never-even-get-to-be-fully-in-love-bc-there's-no-way-they're-surviving-the-next-24-hours shtick for prim/rue gets spun wildly out of control before the games even start and suddenly the capitol is demanding the games be called off since "so many of them are so young!" at most extreme, or wondering if the minimum age for the hunger games isn't too young at most moderate.
district 13 was not ready for such a prime revolution moment to happen so quick, but they make the best of it in a somewhat disorganized way. They sway public opinion into spinning this story up, up, and away from capitol control, which eventually (through difficult to succinctly summarize PR bullshit) has everyone calling for snow to step down, and he can't very well use the cattleprods on the supposed upper crust, can he? not when every other district is already twitching for an excuse to revolt and has been for a while. so he 'gracefully' steps down (repercussions to be written in fic). district 13 is like damn they r fr handing us this one wtf.
coin(? i forgor names lol) is just barely too slow to neatly slot herself into power, bc now the capitol+districts is like "WE should get a say *insert democracy/anarcho-communism/republicanism/alt-govt.png*" idk maybe panem fractures into smaller govts that stop being affiliated w one country idk. i havent written the fic yet bc i dont have fuck u money.
what i DO know is katniss is honestly too involved in watching the games and subsequent bullshit to notice gale breathing, and peeta comes home w prim who is like 'can we go visit rue in the spring?' and katniss is like '....... u just restructured the govt...... sure yea wtvr' and peeta goes back to pining bc i just dont think he knows how to make a move when not on a death-related timeclock. maybe prim throws him a bone and wingmans him in there.

Childhood Friends with Law
You have a genetic mutation that you cannot get Amber Lead Syndrome.
Includes: flashback to childhood, after two year skip, punk hazard, become girlfriend after they realize who the other is.
Warnings: mentions of dead bodies, killing.
Some mistakes sorry <3
Tumblr media
-☆-
(N) POV
Flashback To Childhood
-☆-
"Come on Trafalgar let's play!" I say as he responds
"I have homework to do maybe later okay (n)?" Trafalgar says as he walks inside his house.
'Hes always studying to become a doctor like his dad and mom I guess it's okay, hell come play when hes ready.' I think as I bounce the ball up and down. But one day none of his family came to the door as I knocked.
That was six months ago. Sighing I go back to my house only to see my mother and father dead on the couch. Screaming I ran away, passing by bodies upon bodies.
"Kill them all!" I hear someone yell as I hide in the dead bodies slowly moving toward the shore as I move slowly stopping when someone was close by. Once past all the people who were killing everyone I ran towards the shore only to see a tiny boat and a gaint ship. I quickly untie the tiny boat and sail off into the sea praying not to be seen. After three days I finally reached a lush island in the north blue and set an anchor for my boat. Starving and being dehydrated for three days I found a river and drank as if I've never drank before. Then looking for fruits all I saw was one weirdly shaped curly fruit the taste was unbearable but I gulped it down.
"Theres nothing else here so sad..." I spoke outloud but I felt the words bounce back at me. A purple sphere was around me as I discovered I now had powers.
-☆-
After Two Year Time Skip At Punk Hazard
-☆-
I'm guarding the Sunny as the other Strawhats decide to go on the island.
"No I'll watch the ship go on ahead you guys" my long (c) hair flowing in the wind as everyone says there goodbyes.
"We shouldn't be that long stay safe (n)-swan" Sanji coos as Nami punches his head.
"Theyll be fine right (n)" Nami yells over to you as you respond.
"Yup all good here" I state as I walk into the bedroom and plop on the bed as they all leave.
"Time to catch up on my reading finally" I state in a humble tone.
-☆-
After almost all day
-☆-
"Shouldnt they be back by now just how big is this island?" I state worriedly. But before I knew it Franky comes farting down and lands on the Sunny.
"Franky what's going on? Where is everyone?" I ask worriedly.
"Oh there was a bit of trouble and some poison gas so I'm moving the Sunny on the other side of the island" I nod as I unfurl the sails and were on our way.
-☆-
On The Other Side Of The Island
-☆-
"(N) go inside the Sunny I sense others nearby" Franky say to me as I spot two figures in the sky.
"Rogar Commander Franky" I say then run away as my devil fruit isnt the best for combat. I'm the crews well, life coach basically and help Chopper mainly with doctor things as his assistant.
Suddenly I hear a loud screech of wheels as I peek out from the bedroom the smokes been cleared from the area below. Seeing all your crewmates you jump down from the Sunny.
"Baby five?! Buffalo?! Why are you here?!" You see a strangely familiar hat then look at the man more closely hes wearing a cloak which is black and yellow and spotted jeans. But the hat looked so familiar. I run up to my crewmates and ask
"Is everyone allright?"
"Yes were all here we picked up these children also we must protect them at all costs" Nami says to me as I scan the area. The apparent Baby Five and Buffalo had been defeated quickly and captured along with Ceasar. I see Sanji preparing a food pit, and everyone else talking. I go sit next to familiar hat and general Smoker. After being handed a bowl of soup I over hear there having a serious conversation so I silence them in a bubble so I can't hear them anymore. Turned around I just drank my soup as I felt eyes on my suddenly I turned back round only to see familiar hat guy staring at me talking. So I unsilenced them.
"What was that again?" I ask familiar hat guy.
"Where did you find that fruit? How did you get your hands on it?" He asks me. So I explain
"Well I used to live in the town of Flevance but when they started killing people because of the Amber Lead Syndrome I pretended to be dead among the bodies then made my way to shore-" I hear everyone partying hard and fast so I try to hurry the story up
"After finding a boat I sailed to a deserted lush island where the only fruit that was there was, the one I ate, it was swirly and pretty but tasted horrible and that's how I got these powers." I say softly as familiar guys eyes widen.
"Theres no way you survived the Amber Lead Syndrome too" he says as I ponder what he says I realize he said too.
"Wait do you know someone who survived it too? I have a genetic mutation so I cant actually get Amber Lead Syndrome" shock just shown on his face as he asks
"What's your name?" I retort
"Well what's your name mr. Mysterious?" Playing with him. With a sigh he says
"Trafalgar D. Water Law and you now? Do you have a heart birthmark on your waist?" He asks impatiently. Shocked I've never told or even shown anyone my birthmark before besides my old bestfriend.
"My names (n) D. (LN) and yes I do" revealing your birthmark hes in even more shock as it Dawn's on you
"You were my childhood best friend!" You both state outloud at the same time.
"Trafalgar?" I say blankly as shock shown on my face.
"(N)?" He says more like a statement.
"I thought you died from the Syndrome like everyone else?" You question.
"There is a time and place for us to talk (n) now isnt the time" he says coldly.
"Well make time silence" I use my powers on us now.
"You were always so pushy but yet understanding too, still are."he says.
"Tell me how you survived you were pale and had the disease how did you survive Trafalgar?" I ask worriedly about my best friend.
"After my parents died I tried to join Don Quixote Doflamingos group but being kicked out so many times by Cora his brother. I took the hint only after Cora told me something about the D. After that he blew his under cover and took me to every hospital in the world but noone was willing to help. So he resorted to the Ope Ope No Mi and stole it and made me eat it. Which in turn cured me as I hide among dead bodies. Though he was shot by his own brother right after I ate it and as I got away he used that silence on me since I was crying. He gave his life for me. He was so compassionate just like you (n)." Trafalgar states as he stands up and walks over to you.
"This stays between us" I raise my pinky finger as he blushes and raises his as we link pinkies and shake.
"Our old handshake you remembered!" I say happily.
"But this Cora did he have the same powers I do now? All I remember is you were gone then after six months my parents died so I left as they were killing everyone off" I say softly.
"He had the exact same devil fruit as you do, it must be fate" he says quietly. I stand and hug him tight in a bear hug but hes grown so tall over the years he towers over me now, me being (height) tall. Hes taken aback but hugs me back for a short period as if hes forgotten the outside world. After a minute we both part.
"I have to tend to the children now (n)" he says softly as if he doesnt want to go.
"Okay do your thing Trafalgar" I say sweetly as I unsilence the bubble. He goes off onto the gaint SAD ship. Soon Chopper comes running off the SAD ship screaming
"Hes a murderer, hes murdering them do something!"
"Now I'm a murderer!" I hear Brook say as he breaks Kinemon and Kinemon pops out of the mold Momo cries out
"Father! Your alive!" As their touching reunion happens Kinemon tells Momo the food is safe to eat and he starts to eat . As everyone finishes then the marines make a wall and start chanting pirates are horrible trust the marines! After that fiasco happens the children and marines set sail off into the distance.
Everyone boards the Sunny except Vice Admiral Smoker and his marines and we set sail. Trafalgar has a chat on his transponder snail with someone, once done you and Robin go up to him.
"Dont mean to bother you, but who were you on the snail with?" Robin asks him.
"His black market name is Joker but others know him as Don Quixote Doflamingo. I set up a trade, his resignation as a warlord for Ceaser." Trafalgar says.
"Ahh!!! So were taking down a warlord I'm down-" I say but was cut off
"You are not going (n) this is personal" he says looking serious pointing at me. I nod and put my hand to my face thinking.
"Hey Luffy is it okay if I leave the crew to join Trafalgars crew?" As the words leave my mouth I hear everyone gasp.
"What? Hes my childhood bestfriend I cant just leave him now, again." I say as Nami says
"But well miss you (n) what about our girl time?"
"I never asked you to join either" Trafalgar says looking up at you while he sits on the floor.
"So you dont want me to join?" I ask acting hurt. He rubs the back of his head and says
"Well I wouldnt be opposed to it, just what does Luffy think though? I mean he is YOUR Captain...."
"If you want to leave then go live your life (n)" Luffy yells from the head of the Sunny. I look at everyone and say
"So its decided?" As everyone nods.
"Thank you for always being there for me everyone, you all mean so much too me. I'll never forget you all and it's not like I'm going anywhere, right now, Trafalgar formed an alliance with the Strawhats remember?" Nami nods as I look around at everyone looking back at me. Making me uncomfortable.
"Okay your stares of judgement are enough I get it!" I yell as everyone resumes what they were previously doing. Each one of them eventually comes up to talk to me about leaving but my hearts dead set on it and I tell them that. After awhile you see a sub emerge from the water beside the Sunny.
"Since your apart of my crew now your staying in the Polar Tang while we all go to Dressrosa." Trafalgar says.
"Room Shambles" as we both poof into the submarine after packing my stuff.
"Heres my room just put your stuff in the closet you can stay with me since all the other rooms are full." Trafalgar says to me softly with a slight blush on his face as he pulls his hat down slightly. I definitely notice as he was my childhood crush as well but he could never feel the same about me could he?
"Awe your blushing like back then" I squeal as I hug him embracing him now that were alone. He reciprocates and pulls me in for a hug tightly against his chest, him blushing even more now but look away.
"Oh how I've missed you Trafalgar" I coo to him as he retorts
"I've missed you as well (n)" picking me up and laying me gently on the bed as he undresses into a shirt and pants and lays Kikoku to rest. I snuggle under the covers that smell like him. As he slides into bed as well turning off the nightstand light. He eventually falls asleep since it was close to dark and we all have days till we reach Dressrosa.
I awoke in the morning, early with Laws arm behind my head and him cuddling me spooning/cuddling breathing in my neck making me have goosebumps. I hurry and close my eyes while blushing and wrap my arm around his waist. He moves and lays on his back while I'm lieing on my side his arm wrapped around me, holding me close. I just tried to keep my eyes closed and not move. Soon Trafalgar awakens opening his steel eyes I feel him recoil slightly.
'He must have realized our position hehe hes so cute' I think as he sighs I flutter my eyes and pretend to wake up. I look over to Trafalgar, realize I'm laying on his arm and sit up blushing.
"Did you um sleep well Trafalgar?" I ask while still lightly blushing.
"Yea I slept good for once." He says slightly blushing as well as he gets up and changes in the bathroom. He then comes out in his cloak and hat with Kikoku then puts on his socks and shoes. "Where are you going?" I ask curiously.
"I need to prepare the crew." He says blankly but I see a little pink on his face and I smile.
"Okay Captain!" I say cutely as he pulls down his hat slightly and looks away.
"Be back soon" he says quietly as he walks down the hall. Laying on the bed I suddenly hear an announcement.
"We have a new crew member say hello to (N) D. (LN) my childhood friend, sometime" I hear Trafalgar say on the intercom probably from the control room. Suddenly I hear steps and a slide and crash into our door. I look at three figures standing in front of the door all in boiler suits.
"Heya I'm Penguin and this is Sachi" Penguin helps Sachi up.
"And I'm Bepo" a big polar bear who was stand on the paws said.
"Aweeee!! So cute!" I run and latch onto Bepo and he hugs me back.
"Captain never has brought back a girl-" Sachi was cut off by Penguin
"Their his childhood friend"
"Oh my gosh I'm right here" I say outloud then look down.
"So what was Captain like as a kid?" Penguin asks as they all look curiously at me.
"Well he always studied to become a doctor. He rarely got to play with me but I went every day to his house to see if he wanted to play." I say as I sit on the bed Indian style in my shorts and crop top. They all come closer to me and sit down.
"He was soo cute and still is" I say as I cover my mouth. Embarrassed I hid my cheeks.
"Shambles" Law looks around and asks them
"What are you three doing get to work" as they all scrambled up and out the door. This gave me an opportunity to calm down.
"Yes Captain!" They as say snickering as they ran away.
"So what's up Trafalgar?"
"Theres something I must confess..." he says while closing the door.
"What's that Trafalgar?" Putting Kikoku to rest. He sits on the bed.
"I was planning on telling you the day I left but I couldn't..." he says quietly.
"What is it? I ask curiously.
"Remember I told you before I had something to say, back before?" He says.
"Ohhh yea what was it?" I perk up. He looks me in the eyes with his gorgeous grey eyes.
"Well.... I had a... crush on you ..." he blushes fully and looked down.
"Oh had a crush?" I say looking down slightly.
"Have...." him blushing more looking away with his hat turned down. I get off the bed and go up and hug him close.
"I ... have a crush on you too Trafalgar I have for many years, I never thought you of all people would just up and die. I still had hope." I say boldly as he hugs me back.
"I never thought youd like me back." He says as he brushes my arm, with his arm as he placed his hands behind him on the bed.
"Are you kidding? I never thought you ever liked me." I say shocked. As he wraps an arm around me pulling me inward.
"Well I'm sorry to hear that (n) I thought I was being very direct, guess not." He says.
"Well if you wanna do this right you have to ask me properly." I say as I wait sitting on the bed staring at him now.
*sigh*
"Will you (n) be my girlfriend?" He asks gently as I'm frozened but eventually thaw out. I shake my head up and down.
"Yes I'll be with you Trafalgar, even though things are different now."I say hugging him close.
Trafalgar told you not to tell anyone because they could use it against me or him but you ended up telling Nami and Robin. But so far they haven't told anyone else. Bepo, Sachi and Penguin have a new friend now. And I have a new boyfriend.

Katniss in the Capitol
I read the tags in on my first posts of the little series called: “Katniss and Peeta’s roles reversed in Mockingjay” and quite a few people mentioned, that they’ll like the version of hijacked! Katniss the most when she is hysterically afraid.
And I already explained, why I think, turning her just like Peeta more violent, would make little to no sense for the Capitol, actually playing into Coin’s hands.
Well, I honestly must say the focus of the people commenting was clearing on the time after Katniss would be rescued from the Capitol, but in Mockingjay it took a while to come up with a plan and convincing Coin to go through with this and she liked Peeta more than Katniss.
If their roles would have been reversed, I highly doubt, Coin had any plans on rescuing Katniss, who was perceived by Coin as a wildcard. Coin even tried to kill Katniss in Mockingjay, by sending Peeta to them, to turn Katniss post-mortem into martyr. Which would benefit her, because then they have the symbol of the Mockingjay without actually having to deal with Katniss’ temper. So, why would that be any different, if she was the one to be stuck in the Capitol?
For Coin, it’s the best position to put Katniss in. She is suffering for the cause and Peeta is advocating for her. This, of course, pains a wonderful picture for the two star-crossed lovers, being torn apart by the consequences once again.
Peeta gets the image of a sympathic and dedicated lover, who would do anything for his girl and their baby. Showing the people in the districts, that everything the Capitol does is cruel and inhuman, while also showing them a boy, who is trying to fight the odds once again, even if they are not remotely in his favor.
So, no, Coin wouldn’t rush getting Katniss, even with Peeta pressing on that issue. She would milk it as long as she gets something out of it.
And while Katniss stays in the Capitol, she would have had an interview of course. Because Snow’s and Coin’s thinking are very much alike. He would also use the Victor he has to work in his favor. This time only, he didn’t get ‘good with words Peeta’ but ‘can’t act to save a fucking life Katniss’.
He knows, what Coin is thinking, wouldn’t kill Katniss. Since her victory, he had plenty of opportunities to do so, and he didn’t even try. But like I said, he would use her for interviews to promote the things, he wants her to say.
In the books, he is using Peeta to discredit Katniss, by portraying her as a dumb, naïve little girl, who had definitely no clue what she was doing and who never had in mind to start a rebellion. While the last part might apply to Katniss, the first part is certainly not true. When she picked up the berries, she was very aware, what the direct consequences might be. Katniss has proven herself to be somewhat of a quick thinker (solving the riddle with the clock, which even Beetee didn’t get).
Also, and okay, Snow couldn’t have known this, but Peeta trusts Katniss to think one step ahead. He never doubted her intentions. She told him to eat the berries, he did. She asked him to run away, he was ready to go. When she revoked that decision, he stayed with her. Peeta is 100% right or die with her. Which the first interview, they discredit that. Not only, that Katniss was destroying the arena on purpose, but also Peeta’s trust in her doings.
It effectively hurt Katniss and the cause at the same time. Katniss knew, Peeta didn’t quite mean, what he was saying, but she was still felt betrayed. Just like the rest of the rebels thought he was a traitor. But those still in between sides, saw someone who was begging for peace and mercy. Apart from Katniss’ POV, I think the interviews worked well. Not as well as the propos of course, but that’s a different discussing.
Finally, we can turn this around. There is a date set for an interview with Katniss and Ceasar to discredit Peeta and diminish the rebel’s cause. What would the Capitol do, with all their game makers and stylists and Snow?
They do have a certain flair for drama and Snow is a pretty petty bitch. Well, why not hit them, where it hurts and playing their own cards back at them. Meaning… portraying Katniss as pregnant, pointing out, how cruel it was for Peeta to leave her and the baby behind to join the rebels. A crying Katniss begging to cease fire.
To achieve this, they had to held Katniss at gun point, so she felt pressured enough to say, what they wanted to say and act how they wanted her to act. Probably nobody would have told her about the bombing in District 12 and they would threaten her to kill Peeta, Prim, her mother, Gale just everyone she cared about. But this is nothing new. Probably showing her some images from the uprising in the districts saying this is her fault.
Just imagine (yes, the true diabolic part starts now) being in Katniss’s position… talking about a baby, which was never there, talking about Peeta, not knowing if he is alive and talking down the rebellion, while she is convinced this is her fault AND on the same time, she still agrees with their demands, but now she has to act her way out of this, knowing she is not good at this, her first time trying to get out of this by playing the role Snow had assigned her failed terribly.
Now we think of Peeta. His own lie being thrown back at him. Seeing Katniss in clear distress. Knowing she is being held hostage and she has no information, so she is probably tortured just because. The looks he get from others just prove how he sees himself at that moment… as a coward, a failure and a prick.  His plan to keep her safe, which he had since the reaping, ultimately failed and the words, he said to protect her, are getting back to him again. She is now in more danger than ever, because she is at Snow’s mercy.
