Hey dearđ how are you? Can I ask for some mob!tom smut?? Like he's smoking a cigar at a boring wedding when he meets a mob!reader and after talking a bit things just happen and he takes her home for fucking all night?
Oh and ends in fluff??
Hi nonnie! I'm fine hope you are well too. Here's your request hope you like this.
Pairing : Mob! Tom Holland x Mob! Reader
Warnings : 18+, SMUT, mature content, unprotected sex (wrap it before you tap it)
His Queen, Her King
Being the mob boss Tom had to be a part of various social gatherings, galas, parties etc but the most he dreaded were weddings. Especially when you're an eligible bachelor, people around you are constantly nagging you with the most evident question âwhen is your turn?â There were several occasions where the leaders of other mobs had tried to set him up with their daughters to forge an alliance but he would turn them down every time because he never found them to be his match. He likes to be in control but that doesnât mean he would settle for a mere puppet who would dress up pretty and do as told, he wanted someone powerful, fierce who would challenge his authority, a real queen to his vast empire. Â
It was one of his childhood friends' wedding day so he couldn't say no. The hall was buzzing with people as he was seated with a couple of his friends at a table drinking and laughing loudly talking about their busy lives and their businesses. One hour to the wedding reception and Tom was already bored he lit up a cigar and took a long puff from it watching everyone silently.Â
Just then you walk in through the doors in a long red silk dress hugging your body like a second skin with a thigh high slit paired with pointed stilettos making heads turn. Your hair styled into loose curls cascading down your shoulders complimenting your dewy makeup. Your wrists and ears sparkling with the most priceless authentic diamonds. Apart from being the maid of honor you are the only woman in the mob business who owns the biggest diamond business in the country.Â
People were obviously envious of your power though they never dare to say anything to your face but you have heard how people think you just got lucky with the business as the only daughter of your father, women have no place in the mob even to the extent of being slut shamed and being accused of sleeping with your rivals to run the business. You had simply shrugged it off and showed those people with a flourishing business and earning double profits than your father used to earn when he used to run the mob. You walk over to your best friend.
âCongratulations Jane, finally youâre a married woman now!â you give her a hug.
âThanks Y/N it feels like a dream honestlyâ she chirps âbut when are youâŚâ
âPlease you also donât startâ you both chuckled and continued gossiping.
âMan why are these receptions so dull and boringâ Matt groaned âcouldnât they do it at a bar or strip club?â
âYeah it would have been fun to watch your wife beat the shit out of you after you flirted with one of the strippersâ Carl mocked to which everyone laughed out loud including Tom.
âHey!!â Matt revolted in protest as all of them laughed again.
Your conversation was constantly getting disturbed with their constant brawls and loud laughter. Even the other guests had a frown on their face with the noise they were making.
âI apologize on behalf of my friends, they can sometimes be a little loudâ Paul the groom said apologetically.
"Itâs ok I know how to deal with guys like them. Let me handle itâ You offer and stride your way to their table.Â
âSorry to crash the fun boys but some of us are actually here to attend the reception not to hear your meaningless chatterâ you jibe forcing a smile as the men turn their attention towards you. Tom puts down his cigar blowing out the smoke as he takes a quick glance of you.
âI'm sorry love, are we offending you?â he remarks with a smolder and the men around him hollered. The corner of your lips quirk into a sly smirk as you step closer to him drawing a finger along his jawline.
âIt will take a lot more than this baby face to offend meâ you taunt him back with a grin amusing everyone including Tom at your comeback.
âOooh damn!â the men hollered again while you turned your back and strutted off to join your friends again. Tom just sat there completely blown away by your boldness. He had heard about you but now that he saw you he understood that you werenât just a beautiful face after all who just got lucky in the mob business you were a complete badass. The very image of you radiates power and triumph.Â
His eyes seeked yours the whole time and then he found you finally all by yourself near the open bar drinking a glass of whisky. He approaches you as he clears his throat.
âAhem, heyâ you lift your eyes from the glass and then put it down on the counter smacking your lips.
âHere to apologise for being a jerk?â you quip.
âI thought we were even alreadyâ he remarks with a smug grin.
âYeah maybeâ you half shrug
âTom Holland by the wayâ he reaches his hand out and you dismiss it by picking your glass again and taking a sip.Â
âI know who you are, the boss of the most powerful mob in Londonâ you say nonchalantly
âKeeping tabs I seeâ he smirks as he signals the bartender to hand him a drink as well.
âItâs a risky business Holland you gotta keep records about your potential rivalsâ you state blandly.
âAbsolutely, couldnât agree moreâ he takes a sip wincing at the strong taste of the drink.Â
âSo all alone? Bossman didnât get any arm candy for the night?â you snicker.
âOnly a queen fits beside a king like me darling and I havenât found one yet , what about you?â
âWell I havenât found my king eitherâ you clink your glass to his as you both gulp down your drinks.
âYou look ravishing in that dress I must sayâ he compliments with a suave in his voice.
âThank you. You donât look bad eitherâ you flirt back as you bite the corner of your lip checking him dressed in an Armani suit the Rolex on his wrist glinting in the golden light of the chandeliers. Â
âI really admire you. Honestly itâs really hard and dangerous to run a business when youâre a womanâ there was a different kind of sparkle in his eyes which you recognize very well.
âWhat can I say I just love playing with dangerâ you shrug with sass in your voice.Â
âYou wanna get out of here? Iâm sure nobody will miss usâ he licks his lips eyes darkening with pure desire.Â
âWell what are we waiting for?â you smirk with a mischievous glint in your eyes both of you coming to a silent agreement.
The whole ride to his mansion was a blur as soon as you were inside he had you pinned up against the door as his lips met yours hungrily. His lips tasted of burnt cigar and whisky. He started leaving trails of kisses on your jaw and neck while his hand snaked down to your thighs through the slit of your dress unclasping the thigh holster from your leg as it dropped on the ground with a loud clatter. His hand moved further to your flimsy lace thong to feel your sex.Â
âSo wet already, love? I haven't even touched you properlyâ you can hear the smirk in his voice. His hand goes to unzip your dress as he leans in for a kiss but you stop him placing two fingers on his lips slowly tracing them.Â
âBedroom?â you ask breathing heavily.
âUpstairs leftâ he informs between shallow breaths.
You gave him a peck on his cheek and made your way up the stairs. Tomâs eyes never left you as he watched you slide the thin straps of your dress off your shoulders and dropping it off on the floor striding away in just your strapless bra and thong your heels clacking against the marble floor. Tom scoffed in amusement a toothy grin forming on his face . You were really something who was just driving him crazy.
The moment he walked in the bedroom he felt himself twitch inside his pants. There you were sitting in the middle at the edge of the bed slightly leaning on your palms with your legs crossed one above the other. You looked like a viscous siren slowly entrapping him with your charm and beauty.Â
âNice bedroomâ You gently smoothed the silk sheets with your hand.
âGlad you liked itâ he said smiling.
âAre you just gonna stand over there?â You unclipped your bra and lazily dropped it on the floor putting on a show for him as you lifted a hand pointing a finger motioning him to come closer. A low groan escaped from his mouth at the sight of your exposed breasts as he strolled towards you unbuttoning his shirt and shrugging it off his body drinking in your almost naked form with lustful eyes. You subconsciously licked your lips marveling his taut muscles. He tilted your chin up as you gazed in his brown eyes with parted lips.
âGod youâre gonna be the death of meâ he mumbles in a husky voice.
âThat was the plan all the time, I can then take over your mobâ you giggle playfully.
âYou minxâ he knelt down to capture your red tinted lips passionately tongues clashing against each other as you ran your fingers across his abdomen, nails scraping his skin. He gently pushes you down on the mattress as you shift back in the middle of the bed. He spreads your legs to accommodate himself as he crawls up to be at level to your face pressing a soft kiss to your swollen lips. Goosebumps covered your skin as you felt his bulge brushing on your thighs. You tilted your head to the side as he took the opportunity to suck marks on the nape of your neck. One hand squeezing your ass the other palming your breast as he placed butterfly kisses all over your skin.
âSo prettyâ he mumbles, pressing kisses between the valley of your breasts,you shuddered when he flicked his tongue over your sensitive bud.
âOhâ you gasped when he wrapped his mouth around your breast sucking the nipple between his teeth, kneading the other fingers pinching and tugging on it. After paying equal attention to the other one too before continuing his journey south. Your stomach flutters as his lips trail down your rib cage, navel the cold gold chain dangling down his neck feeling ticklish against your hot skin. He placed a soft kiss over your soaked panties and you felt that your body was set to fire as you gasped lightly chest heaving up and down. A smirk forms on his face as he moves to kiss your inner thighs ignoring the place where you needed him the most.
âPleaseâ you let out a quiet whimper
âPlease what darling?â he whispers with a husky voice.Â
âTouch meâÂ
âIâm touching you loveâ he lightly chuckles, you whined in protest. âYou gotta be more specific with your demands, love, what do you need?â he coos.
âI-I need you, your mouthâ you breathed out.Â
âSee that wasnât so hardâ he practically rips off your thong and throws the shredded fabric away letting out a low growl at the sight of your glistening cunt. He hooked his arms to your thighs, the rings on his fingers felt cold against your skin. He licks a long stripe up your folds sending jolts of pleasure up your body making you squirm in his hold.
âSo sweetâ he mumbles against your heat. You let out a soft gasp, your hands threading into his soft brown curls as he swirled his tongue through your folds.
You cry out when his tongue flicks your swollen clit giving his hair a harsh tug he groans into your heat. He continued to suck on your clit between his lips pushing a thick digit inside you. Your body arched bucking your hips into his mouth he had to place a hand on your lower stomach to keep you in place. He then adds another finger pumping it in and out of you his teeth grazing your sensitive bud soothing it after with his tongue immediately.Â
âFuck!â You moaned feeling euphoric eyes fluttering shut as he devoured you. Your body tensed up when he added another finger to your heat, your one hand was pulling his hair painfully and the other squeezing your breast rolling your nipple between your fingers. He curled his fingers hitting your spot sending you over the edge.
âCâmon love, let it go want you to cum all over my fingersâ he moaned into your heat the vibrations leading you to tumble down the edge as you came undone around his fingers. He helped you ride your high still sucking on your clit, your legs trembled as he lapped up all your juices. He pulled away after sometime his chin glistening with your arousal.Â
He got rid of his dress pants along with his boxers and then crawled over to you. You gazed into his warm brown eyes still in your post orgasmic haze as you pulled him down to capture his lips with an urgent need. You tasted yourself on his lips as he deepened the kiss grinding his hips into yours.Â
A soft gasp escaped your lips when you felt the tip of his member brushed against your entrance. He gripped his member giving it a few pumps before lining up against your core. You placed a hand flat on his stomach signalling him to stop. He knitted his brow in confusion when you flipped him over to be on top him sitting on the back of your knee straddling his waist.Â
âI wanna ride youâ you whisper in a sultry voice and his lips curl up to a smirk.
âThen go ahead, darlingâ he shuffles back a little resting himself comfortably against the headboard. You brought your hand to your mouth and gave it lick before grabbing his member using it for lubrication, slowly pumping his length and lining it up to your weeping core. Your breath hitched when you felt his tip slide through your entrance stretching your walls in a nice way. You slowly sank down on his length feeling so full of him. You stayed like that, your walls warm and snug squeezing him like a vice. Tom groaned when you clenched around him.Â
âOh god Y/N please move or I'm not gonna last for another minuteâ you leaned down to kiss him starting to move your hips slowly adjusting to his thick shaft.
âShitâ He hissed as you lifted yourself hand gripping on his thighs for leverage to go a little faster, the soft sound of your skin slapping against each other filled the room. Your stomach clenched as you paced up and down his cock, each time filling you up to the hilt. His hands held your hips, fingers digging in your skin groans rumbled in Tomâs throat as he clenched his jaw. He gazed at you with hooded eyes smitten by the way your back arches towards him and your tits bounce with every thrust.
You started to feel a little exhausted, a thin sheen of sweat lining your bodies as you slowed down your pace. Tomâs hands slid down to your ass, spreading your cheeks as he took control, thrusting up into you. You jolted forward moaning out loud, grasping on to his shoulders tightly for support.Â
âJust because you're on the top don't think you're in control darlingâ he says cheekily you let out a light chuckle at his comment before whimpering when his cock hit your sweet spot.
He lifted his knees, planting the heels of his feet into the mattress for leverage as he began to fuck you roughly. He grunted, feeling your walls clench around his cock with every thrust of his hips. You leaned down to kiss him sloppily he reciprocates by slipping his tongue into your mouth swirling it inside your mouth. You moaned into the kiss as you felt a tight knot build inside your stomach.
âTomâ you moan breathlessly, eyes squeezing shut as your hands slide down his shoulder to his chest nails scratching his skin.
âGonna cum again for me love?â Tom murmured against your lips as he spanked your ass lightly. You nodded your head vigorously starting to roll your hips desperately. He brought his thumb to your swollen clit and rubbed circles as the coil inside you snapped and you screamed out your orgasm hitting you like a ton of bricks. Tom wasnât too far either as he continued rutting his hips and soon he was spilling inside you.
âFuck.â He moaned as his face screwed up in pleasure, his eyebrows furrowing as he emptied his seed into your tight pussy, not letting go of his grip on your body. You collapsed onto his chest panting both of you catching your breath, your walls still pulsating around his cock, deeply buried inside you. He caressed your back gently, your chest pressed to his, head resting over his heart as you listened to his steady heartbeat while your fingers fiddled with the chain around his neck. He took your hand and kissed on your knuckles gently brushing his thumb over them lovingly.
âI really like youâ he finally spoke out
âWhat?â you frowned, still a bit dizzy.
âI think I have fallen in love with you Y/Nâ he confesses softly as you straighten yourself to look him in the eyes.
âAre you asking me out when you are literally balls deep inside me?â you snicker raising your eyebrows.
âIâm serious Y/Nâ he cradles your face with both of his hands âthe moment I saw you I knew you are the one I have been waiting for all my life. A strong, independent and fearless woman who doesnât need anyone, you are a hell of a queen, Y/N. I want this queen to be only mine, together we can rule the world love. I donât want this to be a one night thing I want to make love to you every night, kiss every inch of your body and appreciate you, adore youâ he rants
âThe last part sounded a little creepy thoughâ you chuckled âWell I do like you too my king letâs just take things slow and see where it goes maybe?â
âSure my queenâ he smiles as you kiss him softly.

A Dash of Truth
Summary: Reader is a witch but doesnât want everyone to know, especially Spencer.
A/N: This is a fantasy AU which is a new concept for me. I hope you all like it. Thank you @the-queen-of-moonsâ for helping me! Also the amazing graphic is by @spencers-beanbag â¤ď¸
Pairing: Spencer Reid x Witch! Reader
Warnings: swearing, details of spell casting, mentions of a case, reader is a little rude at times
Word Count: 1.9K
Paperwork days were most of the time quite except when Derek Morgan had worked for the BAU, there was never a moment of silence. Today however there was a different sound filling the office.
âI swear on everything good and cuddly, if this headache doesnât go away, I may get one of you badass agents just to shoot me.â
I looked up from my work to make eye contact with my curly haired coworker, Spencer, across our desks. Then a groan brought our attention to the blonde walking towards her âbat caveâ holding her head. I looked back towards Spencer who only shrugged and returned to his files. I glanced back towards the way Penelope had gone and hoped she felt better soon.
It wasnât long till my hopes were crushed. âI swear if I could name this headache, it would be called Luke Alvez.â This exclamation of pain brought out a âHey!â from Luke himself and giggles from everyone else. Penelope just winced at the loud sounds, finished making her coffee, and made her way back into her office. I contemplated offering her help and sharing my secret before deciding helping a friend was more important.
When I reached the entrance to the dark corner of the building I gave the door a light knock, not wanting to cause Penelope anymore pain. A faint permission to enter was the only sign of life I was given. The room wasnât filled with the normal luminous light of computer screens. Instead, the human embodiment of sunshine was submerged in darkness.
âPenelope? I brought something that may help?â I kept my voice slightly above a whisper. The poor women turned on her desk lamp and turned to look at me. âHi buttercup, what do you have for me?â I smiled at her attempt to still be cheery even though she wasnât feeling quite so cheery herself.
I laid a crystal and a vial on her desk and explained, âThis is a clear quartz crystal it helps in healing and pain relief. I also brought you some peppermint oil, apply a small amount to your temples and it should help sooth the headache as well.â
âOh honey, you are a life saver. I will definitely give this a go! Thank you!â Penelope gave my hand a squeeze and I bent down to give her a gentle hug and a soft kiss to her head. âI hope it helps.â
When I returned to my desk, I found Spencer there leaning against it, waiting for me. I blushed a little when he gave me a smile. I couldnât help the fact his presence made the butterflies in my stomach erupt.
âWhere did you disappear to?â Spencer questioned as I took my seat. I looked towards the way I had just come, âI tried to help Penelope with her headache. I was getting worried.â I looked back at Spencer who was staring at me with a small smile playing on his lips, âY/n youâre ama- a good friend.â I could feel my blush deepening as I mumbled a âthank youâ. With a nod, Spencer returned to his desk.
It wasnât but a few hours before Penelope was returning the crystal and oil I had given her. She leaned against my desk and asked, âSo spill. Howâd you know that stuff would work?ââ I couldnât help but to look away from her piercing eyes shyly before replying, âI- I practice modern witchcraft, nothing extreme just charms, crystals, oils, excreta.â I looked back at her before adding, âI donât really advertise it so please donât say anything.â
Penelope smiled at me and grabbed my hand and gave it a light squeeze, âOh honey, I wonât say a word, but only on one condition.â I gave her a questioning look in which she responded, âYou have to teach me your witchy ways.â
Over the course of a few weeks Penelope and I had spent countless hours together after work and between cases. It was mostly nights filled with small castings and gossip. Penelope was a fast learner, so it left plenty of time for the two of us to talk and catch up.
On one particular night we were in the middle of brewing a few healing oils when my phone rung. It was Spencer. Penelope may not be a profiler, but anyone would notice the way my whole body froze up and a smile grew across my face. Penelope giggle and nudged my shoulder reminding me I actually have to answer the phone.
The phone call didnât last long it was just Spencer letting me know I had left my jacket at my desk and that he put it in his to go bag for safe keeping. Of course, this only excited Penelope and she unleashes a sea of questions: âHe totally likes you. Do you like him? Are you going to tell him? You should totally tell him.â
My response to her was simply, âI could never tell him. It would ruin everything.â My best friend gave me a pointed look as she said, âYou have to be honest with him, you never know what magic could unfold between the two of you.â I couldnât help but snort at her choice of words.
The same night as the random phone call from Spencer, there was a Phone call from JJ. We had a case. This case took almost a week to solve, and it was particularly hard. Our prime suspect was good with his words and was constantly trying to lead us in the wrong direction. Lucky for us we have a genius whoâs good at solving riddles.
On the way home a thought kept running through my mind: What if I made an oil and cast a truth spell over it. I finally decided I was going to do it and started writing down what I would need: 4 ounces of grape seed or jojoba oil and one ounce of sandalwood oil.
I was missing an ingredient and couldnât think of what it could be. Thatâs when someone to my right cleared their throat and said, âOne ounce of pure vanilla extract.â When I looked up to see who helped me, I was met with a small smile and a wink from Emily.
As soon as the jet landed, I rushed home only slowing down to tell Spencer goodnight. Luckily, he didnât ask why I was in a hurry, which I am grateful for.
Once I was home it didnât take long for me to gather all my ingredients and begin my spell. While swirling the blended oils and extract gently in a clockwise motion I chanted, âTruth be told, no more lies. Now itâs time for honesty. Telling the truth will set you free.â I carefully poured the oil into a bottle, concentrating on not getting any on my skin which would activate it.
The next morning everything seemed fine until I got to work. It wasnât strange of me to greet my coworkers in the mornings. What was strange was the thing I said after my greetings.
When I walked in I saw Tara first and my greeting to her went something a little like, âGood morning. You look tired.â Tara only laughed and responded with, âWell thanks y/n so do you.â
I was lucky that Tara didnât take offense, but I didnât mean to say that. I rushed to Penelopeâs office and was blessed to fine Emily there as well. My intensions where to say, âHi guys. I have a problem.â And then explain but what actually came out was, âWhy is it always so fucking dark in here.â
Penelope and Emily both just looked at me and then giggled. Emily however seemed to know why I was saying these out of character things, âY/n I think you may have gotten some of that truth serum on you.â
My response was, âWell shit.â, while Penelopeâs was, âWhat truth serum? Emily how do you know the witchy ways? Wait you told her and not me?â
I took Penelopeâs gasp for breath as a chance to explain what happened. This took a little longer than necessary because every time I would talk about one thing what I really thought would pour out like word vomit. Especially when I started explaining the whole situation with the suspect and why I wanted to do the spell.
When I finally stopped talking the door opened right on cue and Matt stuck his head in to let us know it was five minutes till briefing. He looked a little confused when a panicked looked crossed my face and I said, âDo you not know how to knock.â I instantly apologized and looked to Emily and Penelope for help.
Emily nicely dismissed Matt and turned to me, âWe need you on this case since Rossi took personal time. The spell will most likely take 24 hours to run through your system. Until then weâre going to have to come up with a good excuse on why youâre being mean.â
Penelope chuckled when I started to pout, âThis isnât fair. Stupid Rossi, stupid psychopaths.â Emily shook her hand as she led me to what was going to be the longest day of my life.
I had never been more right in my life. The whole time we were on the case every thought that ran through my mind escaped through my lips. I was never one to challenge anything about a profile or standup to local cops who were being pigs. Until now. The team never really got upset just more concerned and any time anyone asked if I was okay my response was always, âNo Iâm a fucking idiot and canât do anything right.â And would walk away.
It wasnât until we had made it back to the BAU that Spencer asked what was going on. âY/n what has gotten into you? Youâve been acting out of character all day.â It was like Spencer talking to me was all it took for every thought I had about him and my situation to come spilling out.
I told him about the suspect and the spell, I even went into detail about my lessons with Penelope which led to me confessing my feelings because of course I had to say something about that damn phone call. When I realized everything, I had said to him I practically started sprinting away from him, ignoring his calls for to wait.
It wasnât long after I had gotten home that my phone started to ring. Penelopeâs name lit up across the screen and when I answered she instantly began to interrogate me. When I didnât instantly tell her what happened or what I was thinking, I knew the spell had worn off.
I sighed into the phone the same time there was a knock on the door. I looked through the peep hole and was met with the sight of curly brown hair. All I said to Penelope was âI have to call you backâ and hung up while she was still asking questions a mile a minute.
When I opened the door I was greeted with a small smile. Instead of a proper greeting I asked, âSpencer, what are you doing here?â Spencer took a step closer as he said, âI donât need a truth spell to tell you I love you too, y/n.â

Trans Guy Tips #6; A GUIDE FOR ALLIES: ON HOW TO TREAT TRANS PEOPLE RESPECTFULLY, FROM A TRANS MAN HIMSELF
1. Just simply treat us like regular human beings. This means don't be assholes, and don't be fetishizers.
Trans people are just like anyone, their brain just happened to form in a different way than their body did in the womb.
If you treat them with the same respect that you treat everyone else, you're doing right.
Don't be that person who asks if they had surgery, and what their genitals look & looked like, and all those personal questions that are maaaybe well meaning but come off creepy as fuck.
2. Take their name & pronouns seriously!!
If someone is trans, even if they don't look like the gender they are, try not to ever misgender them.
This can be mental anguish for a lot of people who are trans.
There are a lot of trans people who look perfect, yes, but there are also a lot of trans people who don't pass whatsoever.
If you just support the beautiful trans people and not the unconventionally attractive ones, that counts as transphobia because it implies they're not real men / women unless they look like them exactly.
And it's okay if you mess up on their pronouns and/or name sometimes, it's just an accident.
The only time you're an asshole is if you're doing it on purpose to be mean.
3. Ask questions!
The most important thing you can do is gain as much knowledge on the subject as you can.
Do this by researching yourself, and also by talking to the person, and asking them about any questions or confusions you have.
Almost all of the time no one minds being asked, and you are in fact showing you respect them and want to know how to show them your respect.
4. A nice thing to do that's become very popular as of late, is when meeting someone, asking their pronouns.
Such as she/her/hers, he/him/his, and they/them/theirs.
This way you never misgender someone by accident, and it shows that you're friendly to those who are trans.
You can even support this movement yourself by not only doing this, but also putting your own pronouns in your biography on social media, spreading the likelihood of people putting more in, which means way more people get gender fulfilled and makes it a common thing to give strangers respect of their gender!
5. This is yet the most important rule of all.
Don't be a coward.
Stand up to injustice when you see it, no matter what.
If a trans or gay or otherwise LGBT+ person is being bullied, attacked, r*ped, or anything of the sort, either help them yourself quickly or get help for them as soon as possible, and speak up loudly, protecting them whilst also not drowning out their own voice and their experiences. I've known some trans people who have cried after I defended them online from hateful people, and as a fellow trans person I know that feeling.
The feeling of someone having your back,even a stranger, can mean so much.
Also stand up for LGBT+ people even when no one is listening. Even when a single person that's LGBT+ isn't there.
Stand up for them always, not just conditionally.
This rule is important to me personally, due to one of my ex-best friends, at the time best friend, letting me get harshly abused verbally by someone who is transphobic in their family, and they stood around and did nothing whilst I cried.
That's pretty much a textbook case of what not to do. Lol.
6. When you notice they're feeling dysphoric about their bodies, try and remind them of the traits that they like and the traits that they will have in the future (if they go on HRT that is)
things like calling them 'handsome', 'dude', 'bro', 'milady', 'miss', all these different nicknames can be cathartic for trans people who might have never been called those terms before, or very rarely.
Obviously you're not expected to know every whim of your trans friend, or any friend, but if you see them actively upset, this is a very sweet thing to do that can cheer them up very quickly.
7. Even if you do not understand it at all, and can't comprehend the transgender concept whatsoever, please try your best to think of where your loved one is coming from.
Sometimes it's hard to see the pain they go through, so you may assume nothing is going on, and that they're going through a phase, or faking it, but that is usually very untrue/unlikely.
And even if they are going through a phase, if you support them, that will make all the difference and they'll remember that the rest of their lives, even if they do grow out of it, which is extremely rare so it's unlikely in the first place.
What matters is having each other's backs, even if not understanding everything.
Not everything is meant to be understood by everyone. People come from wildly different generations and cultural backgrounds and it makes sense that it would be hard for some, but it,'s so important to try!
8. This is a small, cute optional thing, but if they're in the closet and unable to use their real name anywhere, try taking them somewhere like Starbucks where they get to have their name written on their cup.
I know that might sound funny, but it was one of my favourite moments in my life when I saw my new name correctly on my Starbucks cup.
Little things like that can really boost your mood!
Just a random thought, but I thought I'd add it in.
9. If you're close with them, make sure they practise self-care and wellbeing.
Trans people are known especially to have very high suicide rates, over 50% of trans people have attempted suicide, so it's extremely important to make sure your trans friend is as supported as possible, so that they always have people to fall back on.
If needed, remind them to take showers, remind them to eat, and sleep, things like that.
This one mainly has to do with if you live with the person and know them well.
But even people you don't know them well, you can suggest self-care practises to them, or even put together a little care package of self care products, but make sure they're all natural!
10. A good way to train to use their pronouns and name correctly, is to think of them in your mind hard, and then repeat their new name and pronouns in your brain or aloud with the picture of them in your mind over and over for as long as you need every day or so.
Eventually this association will become so strong you'll automatically get it every time!
11. Most importantly, just be there for people in need.
Stand up for those without a voice, whilst giving them a voice. If you're one of the people out there who is not LGBT+ in any way, but is making an effort to learn about us,
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
People like you are extravagantly rare, and so kind. And it definitely means you have an open badass mind.
Anyway, that concludes this article, please comment your thoughts!
Many more articles about being transgender I'll write in the future, and I'll post the ones I write soon.
Please feel free to check back at my account to see if I write any new ones or additions to previous articles!
Thank you for reading.

Y/N: Your NameÂ
PLEASE DO NOT STEAL MY WORK, I WORK HARD ON MY FICS AND ITâS NOT COOL TO STEAL SOMEONE ELSEâS WORK!Â
If you want to be on the tag list for anything (My series fics, specific character fics, or just all of them) All you have to do is send me an ask and I will add you!Â
MasterlistÂ
(Not my photo, credit to whoever made it!)
My two older brothers taught me all about soulmates when I was growing up. They each had a different tattoo. Merleâs was a deer on his hand while Daryl had a really pretty cherokee rose with two arrows.Â
They each got theirs when they were fifteen, so when it was my turn I was so excited to see what I would get! As soon as I blew out my candles I searched my body for the new tattoo. I found it quickly on my arm and smiled.Â
âThatâs pretty badass, little lady.â Daryl said with a smile.Â
âI donât know little lamb, seems youâre stuck with some asshole.â Merle said and Daryl smacked him.Â
âFuck off, donât scare her.â Daryl growled and I rolled my eyes at my brothers.Â
âCan you two please not fucking fight on my birthday?â I groaned. They always seemed to be at each otherâs throats, but I was the only thing that seemed to bring them together. If anyone ever messed with me they would come together and take care of the problem. After I got my tattoo, they seemed to be extra protective of me. So when the world ended they took me with them and made sure I was always safe.
A month into the apocalypse, I had become really depressed. I gave up hope of ever finding my soulmate and my brothers noticed how crushed I was. Daryl always tried to keep my mind off it, or tell me that my person was still out there, but it was just so hard to believe that with the way things were going. It was especially hard to believe his words when I had Merle telling me that he was wrong and I should just give up like he did. Eventually the three of us found a group and joined them in surviving. Daryl had met his soulmate Carol, which went roughly, but turned out alright in the end. Merle had turned into more of a druggie and Daryl kept me away from him. I was honestly distant from everyone in the group. I was still so broken up about never finding my soulmate that I would just spend most of the time in my tent or out hunting with Daryl.Â
One day I was sitting alone in my tent, just staring at my lioness tattoo. That's really how I spent a lot of my time. How could something so beautiful bring me so much pain?Â
âHey! Y/N!â I heard Daryl call for me. I sighed and pulled down my sleeve, then made my way outside.Â
âWhat is it bubba?â I asked, walking over to him. I noticed he was standing with one of the guys in the group, Glenn Iâm pretty sure his name is?
âWhat did I tell ya about using that damn nickname around other people?â He growled and I rolled my eyes.Â
âGet over it. If you can call me little lady around everyone then I can call you bubba.â I said crossing my arms and he sighed.Â
âWhatever. Kid, show her your arm.â He said to Glenn.Â
âUh, alright?â He said and extended his arm towards me. My eyes widened and I looked down at my covered arm.Â
âD-Do you think?â I whispered and looked up at my brother for confirmation.Â
âOnly one way to find out.â He said and I pulled my sleeve up. I placed my arm next to his and our tattoos started to glow softly. Both our eyes widened and we looked into each otherâs eyes.Â
âItâs youâŚâ We whispered at the same time.Â
âTold ya youâd find him.â Daryl said and I smiled.Â
âBut, if you even think about hurtin her, youâre gonna deal with me!â Daryl threatened and I groaned.Â
âWay to ruin the moment!â I said and my brother shrugged, but walked off.Â
âI was honestly starting to lose hope.â Glenn said, making me look back at him.Â
âI already lost hope, thatâs why Iâve been so distant.â I blushed. Glenn placed his hand on my cheek, making me look into his brown eyes.Â
âYou donât ever have to worry about losing me.â He said and I smiled.Â
âI really hope so.â I replied.Â
Our group had grown, which meant we needed a bigger place to keep everyone. We had found a prison that we were all living in, it was a nice little community. Everything was great, until the Governor attacked us with a tank. I was grabbed by Maggie during the attack and she helped me get to safety, along with Sasha and Bob. I had no idea where Daryl or Glenn were, and I had no idea if either of them were safe or dead. The four of us were in the fog and walkers were growling all around us. We all stood back to back killing any walker that made their way to us. It was hard and I was almost bit, but Sasha shot it.Â
âYou ready?â Maggie asked once we were all safe and recovered from the attack.Â
âWe should wait till the fog clears.â Sasha said.Â
âWeâve been waiting a while.â Maggie said.Â
âYou see all this? We got lucky. We need visibility. And weâve got six bullets left.â She sighed.Â
âSheâs right. Weâve been doing good following the plan. No need to get sloppy now.â Bob said and I rolled my eyes.Â
âI am a tracker, I could just lead us away from the walkers.â I pointed out.Â
âNo, if we donât keep you safe Daryl will have all our heads on spikes.â Sasha said and I sighed.Â
âGlenn wouldnât be too happy either.â Maggie said and I nodded.Â
âFine, whatever.â I said as Maggie pulled out a compass.Â
âWhat is it?â Sasha asked. Maggie tossed it to her and sighed.Â
âItâs broken.â She said and Sasha sighed in defeat.Â
âWe donât need it. Sun comes up in the east, sets in the west. Weâll keep an eye on it in between. Weâll be fine, right Y/N?â Bob asked and I gave a small smile.Â
âYeah, weâll be fine.â I agreed. The two women didnât seem too convinced, but didnât say anything.Â
Once the fog cleared we all headed out. We found some tracks and I sign that read.
âSanctuary for all community for all those who arrive survive Terminus.âÂ
âTerminus. When we were out on the run to the veterinary college, we heard a message about this on the radio.â Bob said.Â
âThey were broadcasting?â Maggie asked.Â
âWhat did it say?â Sasha asked.Â
âCouldnât make it out. I only know because Iâm seeing it now. âThose who arrive survive.ââ He answered.Â
âWe should go.â I said. Maybe Daryl and Glenn are there. Â
âI thought we were looking for your brother and Glenn.â Sasha said.Â
âWhat if they saw one of these? They would go looking for me looking for them.â I said and Sasha sighed.Â
âLook at this map. All these tracks from different directions, all leading to the same place!â I said with a smile.Â
âItâs far. And we donât know if there are other signs.â Sasha said, thinking with her brain rather than her heart.Â
âYou donât think this is the only one?â Maggie asked and I smiled slightly.Â
âThis is the best lead weâve had so far. It says sanctuary. Thatâs just another reason to try. Others from the prison could be there. Tyreese.â Bob tried convincing Sasha.Â
âIf it sounds too good to be true⌠Maybe if Glenn or Daryl saw one of these, maybe theyâd feel the same way.â She said.Â
âGlenn wouldnât. Heâd believe, I know it.â I said.Â
âAnd Daryl?â Sasha asked and I sighed.Â
âDaryl would probably agree with you.â I answered and she nodded.Â
âLook, what do you want to do, Sasha? Keep making these circles from the bus? Or are you talking about us starting to do something else?â Bob asked and she looked at him.Â
âWeâre not splitting up. That canât happen. You want to take a vote or something?â He suggested.Â
âWe donât need to vote.â She said and walked away. I smiled at the other two and followed behind them.Â
After a while we set up camp in the woods nearby. Bob and Sasha stayed at the little camp while Maggie and I went to get firewood. Maggie had become the older sister Iâve always wanted. When we first met, she had become protective of me almost instantly, said I reminded her of herself when she was my age.Â
âSasha isnât gonna go through with it ya know.â I said with a sigh.Â
âYeah, I know.â She also sighed.Â
âIâm goinâ with or without them.â I said and she gave me a small smile.Â
âThen I am too. I promised your brother and Glenn that Iâd keep you safe.â My eyes widened.Â
âReally? Youâd risk everything for me?â She nodded with a smile.Â
âOf course, I need to see my sister too.â She said and I nodded.Â
We decided we werenât gonna actually tell them we were leaving. Instead, while the two of them were asleep, we left a note.Â
âDonât risk your lives 4 me good luckâÂ
The two of us were off to Terminus. Trying to find anyone from the prison. Our siblings, my soulmate. We followed the tracks and ended up finding another sign. We ran up to it and I went to write on the box it was on, but a walker growled behind me.Â
âI got it.â Maggie said, but I stopped her.Â
âNo, I got this.â I said with a smile. I walked up and kicked it in the knee, then stabbed it in the head. I cut its stomach open and used some blood to write on the box.Â
âGlenn and Daryl go to Terminus Y/N, MaggieâÂ
Maggie gave me a smile and nodded for us to continue. She handed me a rag and I cleaned the walker blood off.Â
âThat was a smart idea.â She said and I smiled slightly.Â
âThanks, Daryl taught me use what you got.â I said and she chuckled.Â
âSmart man your brother is.â She said and I nodded.Â
âIt came in handy when the world ended.â I said and she sighed.Â
âThe worlds not over.â I looked at her confused.Â
âWhatâd you mean?â She smiled.Â
âThe worlds over when all the good people are gone.â She said and I thought about that for a moment. Maybe she was right.Â
When we passed another building with a walker near it I did the same thing.Â
âGlenn and Daryl go to Terminus Y/N, MaggieâÂ
I needed to leave a trail. I needed to be with them again. I needed to know they were alright. Not knowing anything was killing me, more than anything thatâs happened before. I refused to believe either of them were dead. But I had to be strong like Daryl and even Merle taught me. Dixions were strong right till the very end.Â
Maggie and I reached a town. The two of us decided to see if we could find anything. It was abandoned like most places were nowadays. There ain't nothinâ safe out there anymore. Terminus might not even be safe, but it could be safe enough for a while. Maggie might have wanted to look for supplies, but I needed to find another walker.
âWe need to rest for a bit.â Maggie said and I sighed, knowing she was right.Â
âAinât nothinâ looks safe enough.â I pointed out and she gave me a small smirk.Â
âWe got walker blood all over us, we could just lay in the small pile over there and blend in.â She said and I thought she was crazy, but it was the best idea we had. So, the two of us laid down and rested for a bit.Â
We woke up to a sudden crash and walkers coming out from all their hiding spots. Maggie grabbed me and we went to grab some weapons. Maggie grabbed a sign and I pulled my bow from my back. We heard someone else fighting them and found Sasha on top of a car. The two of us joined in the fight.Â
âWhereâs Bob?â Maggie asked.Â
âOut looking for you two.â Sasha answered.Â
âWhat are you here?âÂ
âSupplies and rest.â Maggie answered and I bit my lip.Â
âI was looking for another walker.â I said and Maggie looked at me with slightly wide eyes.Â
âObviously, we found more than I wantedâŚâ I blushed slightly in embarrassment.Â
âY/N, we didnât need to go into town to leave another message.â Maggie said, grabbing my shoulders.Â
âI know, but what if they came through here before they saw any of those damn messages! I gotta leave as many as I can!â I said and She sighed.Â
âWeâll find them.â Sasha said and we both looked at her.Â
âWe can make it there.â Maggie said.Â
âI know, so letâs find Bob and letâs make it there.â She said and I smiled.Â
It really wasnât that long before we found him. All we had to do was follow the tracks, but at a faster pace. We saw him walking along the tracks and we all smiled.Â
âBob.â Sasha called and turned to face us. He smiled and the three of us hugged him. After the short reunion we followed the tracks to another sign.Â
âGlenn and Daryl go to Terminus Y/N, Maggie, Sasha, BobâÂ
We walked a while and made it to a tunnel. Another perfect spot for a message.Â
âGlenn and Daryl go to Terminus Y/N, Maggie, Bob, SashaâÂ
We all tried goinâ through the tunnel, but we heard walkers. We couldnât go through. We had to go around, I only hoped my boys would do the same. During our trip we found some people in a car. They had been with Glenn! We all heard shooting from inside the tunnel and quickly drove in.Â
âGet down!â Abraham shouted. Each of us took aim with our guns and killed the small hoard of walkers. When they were all dead I walked up to Glenn and hugged him crying.Â
âOh my God.â He whispered. We pulled apart and I kissed him more than once.Â
âHi.â I whispered.Â
âHi.â He whispered back. My heart felt fuller than it did before and we kissed again.Â
All of us were clearing the walkers to the side, deciding to stay the night here.Â
âGod, you are so beautiful.â Glenn said after we just dropped a walker on the ground. I smiled and laughed. He was adorable as ever.Â
âHowâd it go?â Glenn asked Rosita as she walked back with the girl Glenn had been protecting.Â
âEnd of the tunnelâs secure. If anything tries to come in, weâll hear it in plenty of time.Â
âWe ainât get to officially meet.â I said to the girl.Â
âOh, Iâm sorry. Tara, this is Y/N. Y/N, Tara.â Glenn said and she shook my hand.Â
âHi.â She said.Â
âHi.â I replied.Â
âHeâs a big fan of yours.â She said and Glenn gave a small chuckle.Â
âI met Tara on the road. Couldnât have made it here without her.â He said and I pulled her in for a hug.Â
âThank you.â I said.Â
âWhen she heard what I was doing, she said she had to help me. Sheâs just that kind of person.â He said, smiling at her. If it was any other situation I would probably be jealous, but he was my soulmate and based on what she said, he talked about me a lot. Glenn grabbed my hand and I pulled him in for another kiss. My other half was back and I felt happy for the first time since the prison. Now all I needed was Daryl and my world would be perfect once again. But for right now, this was enough.

Performative Badassery & Women in Kdramas
When I said I wrote an essay, I meant essay. This is a long one! Grab a snack and venture below the read more. Iâll see you at the end!
----------
You know the feeling. The drama begins. Our female main lead walks onto screen. Sheâs a successful businesswoman, a hotshot detective, clever lawyer, smartass retail worker, etc, etc. She stares down a random man to prove sheâs the powerful one here. Or kicks some ass. Or rattles off a bunch of demands to her workers. Or talks fast to show off her intelligence.
Then she meets the male lead. Thereâre fireworks. Slowly we find our female lead has a softer side. Good to know. 3-dimensional and complex characters are important. Itâs nice to see women on-screen who are both capable and emotional. Kick ass and feminine.Â
But slowly... something starts to go wrong. She seems to be crying more than showing literally any other kind of emotion. And is it just me or is she getting saved and manhandled and flustered quite a lot for a woman who we were told was so well put together? Sure, the circumstances are extreme. But theyâre extreme for the male lead too and he seems to be managing just fine for some reason. Also, if both of them are ordinary people with no on-screen fighting experience, how come heâs so great at throwing fists out of nowhere and sheâs busy keeping hidden or needing rescuing? Exactly how many times can one person just faint like that without anyone checking to see if she has a medical condition?
By the dramaâs end our lead has gone through trials and tribulations. Sheâs fallen in love too, Iâm happy for her. But... now that the storyâs ending and sheâs getting in one last chance to show us sheâs a âbadassâ, why am I left feeling hollow? Sheâs showing us how tough she is but... we ALL spent this whole drama watching her have absolutely no agency or such a little amount that she might as well have been trying to put out a fire with a water-pistol. Itâs almost like her previous badassery (in whatever form it may have been - I donât mean badass only in terms of being able to throw a good punch) was just a façade. A way to hook in female viewers like me who want to see something more than a wilting wallflower or one-trick Cinderella. But the tiniest knock and the cardboard house collapses.
And no matter how many times we get throwaway lines about her being âthe smartest/toughest/scariest/most capable one hereâ it doesnât ring true compared to the actual character weâre watching.
Rom-coms, melos and sagueks especially (but many more genres besides), have a real problem when it comes to performative badassery in their female characters. The writers give us a female lead they claim is hyper competent, but the reality is totally different. Any plot that features romance, almost always features this. Honestly the way the start of the relationship in dramas actively MURDERS the female characterâs agency could be its own essay so I wonât go deep, just know the two are 100% linked.
The âFaux Action Girlâ ProblemÂ
A Faux Action Girl happens when a writer wants the popularity that comes with having a cool action girl character, or they want the praise that comes with writing a lead that breaks gender norms, or they want to be lauded for writing a FL whose more capable & progressive than the female kdrama lead weâd imagine, but they donât end up actually giving us her. Instead we get the fake or faux version. The reasons are usually a combination of:
Relying on outdated tropes. Wrist grabs, damsels in distress, a girl fainting so she misses some vital plot related moment to increase runtime etc...
Sexist worldviews. As a by-product of being Korean which is still a heavily sexist country because of the holdover of Confucianism mixed in with the Christianity westerners brought over that leads many writers to (often without even realising) inserting moments that inadvertently reduce their female leads because they think thatâs what correct or natural for the female character based on their opinion of women in general. Even if it doesnât actually fit the type of character theyâve set out to create.
Executive meddling. Producers who think their demographic wouldnât be able to handle a real badass but also know their female viewers want more complexity and agency in their FLs these days and so give us the paper-version instead of the 3D model.
This characterâs more âbadassâ traits are nearly always just an Informed Ability (the writers tell us via other characters what she can do but never actually show us on-screen these same things) or we only ever see her utilise them once/twice at the beginning and maybe if weâre lucky once at the end, but never again.Â
It really hurts.
The âBadass Decay/Chickificationâ Problem
Sometimes she really is a legitimate action girl though. Sheâll be a cop whose good at her job or an ordinary citizen whose well-versed in taekwondo. She has actual moments on-screen to prove herself.Â
Well. She has moments in episodes 1 and 2. Then she almost always goes through Badass Decay/Chickification. Which means that writers (& producers) believe that if we donât see her having a softer side, sheâll become unrealistic or unlikeable.Â
They fix her. So she becomes more vulnerable. As the only girl on the team (usually), she becomes the one who ends up injured more often or needs rescuing most. Her life begins to revolve entirely around her romance and nothing else. (Meanwhile the male leads gets to have the romance and keep his side-quest - have you noticed that? If the FL is really lucky she gets to keep one side-quest too, maybe a dream job or solving some family mystery. Never more though.. only men get to be complicated here). Once she was competent... now it feels like she legitimately had a personality transplant.Â
Is this even the same person we began with?
The âWorf Effectâ ProblemÂ
Worf Effect is when the danger/power level of a villain is shown to the audience by making him successfully attack/hurt/ruin the plans of someone that the audience knows is skilled. This isnât a bad thing alone and writers use it all the time. We need to acknowledge the villain as a proper threat and this is a useful way to do it!
But in kdramas itâs something used almost always against the lead female character. The one weâve seen is intelligent, or strong-willed or quick-witted.Â
And because itâs always her, this character begins to look weak. If this writing trope is abused, her reputation as the "biggest, toughest" etc. begins to look like it never existed and weâre back to her having an informed ability.Â
That this is something that happens to the female characters not only more often but almost exclusively is a sign of sexism. Plain and simple.
Competent, Real Badass Female Characters Arenât Scary
 If youâre going to sell me a capable woman, give me her.Â
Not someone who has one very unique, specialised skill but otherwise can do nothing else except for that one time when her one skill is useful.Â
Or has built up her own empire, implying a certain level of smarts, business ability or networking skills, but then once sheâs removed from it she becomes so utterly useless it begs the question how she built that empire in the first place.Â
Or has a rep as the detective whose taken down the toughest guys off-screen, but whatever skills she used to do that seem to disappear the moment anything really challenging happens on-screen.Â
Iâm not saying she needs to win all the time. Of course she doesnât, how boring is that? All Iâm asking is that when she loses, itâs in keeping with the character Iâm supposedly watching. A woman that can kick ass can still be outwitted. A clever woman can be physically beaten. A street-smart girl can be foiled by rules and regulations. A leader-type can be beat by someone whose more unconventional.
Itâs not difficult to write someone like this. I know the writers can do it because every male lead is written this way. Iâve never once, whilst watching a badass male lead lose, get beaten and cry, thought âoh no, his badassery was fake all along!â
Because when he loses it makes sense. Itâs in character. Thereâs a solid plot reason behind why it happens.
Meanwhile my ladies who are meant to be able to kick ass and take names somehow just got kidnapped out of nowhere?
Make it make sense!
Consistent Characterisation is Good Writing
I get wanting moments where one is injured and the other fusses over them. I love those moments! All I ask is more imagination taken to get us to that point. Make it in-character. If my taekwondo black belt is kidnapped, I want to see her really fight. I want the kidnapping to be shown as genuinely tough on the people trying to nab her. Imagine how much more satisfying it would be to see her fight off all these bad guys, yet still end up losing? How much more heart-breaking?
Weâd be so much more invested in the mind games or politics the villain is playing if the female lead weâve been told is good at that stuff is playing the game just as hard. When she loses itâll hurt more.
Writers need to stop being afraid that her remaining capable in some way diminishes the masculinity, attractiveness, prowess or âheroâ status of the male lead. Trust me. It doesnât. Ever.Â
Itâs not a case of either/or. We donât think less of the male lead because his partner is as capable as him in whatever way that may be. Instead, we think more of them both. Once a romance begins, the heightened worry both characters have for each other should only make both of them stronger in whatever area theyâre skill lies in. Not just make the man a sudden defence wall and the woman a worrying mess.Â
Iâm sure everyone who reads this can immediately think of at least one drama with a FL who is a Performative Badass. I know I had about ten in mind as I wrote this.Â
There are exceptions. Cases where the badass gets to stay a badass. Usually these cases happen in genres without romance because like I said above, those problems are linked. But I can think of a few romcoms/sageuks/melos where it happens too.Â
But those are the minority.
Women in kdramas. Give them agency. Make their characterisation genuine, not just a bit-part for the sake of a cool trailer. Not just one moment someone can edit into a âbadass multifemaleâ video edit - only for us to watch the drama from the clip and discover weâve been sold a lie.Â
How satisfied would we be?
Writers! Give us a story we enjoyed because of the excellent characterisation. A new female character we can add to our lists of faves. Women who proved themselves as consistently badass as their first scenes claimed. Women in kdramas who, no matter what problem they faced, donât become echoes or paper-thin versions of who we were promised.
Actual, complex, layered, enjoyable, KICK-ASS AND BADASS female leads.
Wouldnât that be a miracle.
----------
PS. This is an open notice that itâs OKAY to reblog with added commentary/thoughts/rambles of your own. I would *love* to see it if you have anything to add.
----------Â
(Disclaimer: This essay was written with a specific female character type in mind. I am not saying every FL needs to be a badass or hyper competent. Soft, shy, physically weak female characters exist and can be just as realistic and complex. Thereâs a few I can think of who I adore. Instead my essay is very specifically about characters who are *meant* to be badass from the start but then... donât end up being. So, yeah, before anyone claims Iâm some angry feminist who needs every FL to be some tough martial artist or something. Absolutely not! Diversity is amazing and interesting. All I ask is that when I am told Iâll be getting a badass in a drama I get her. Not have my heart broken by the fake wilting flower I find in her place. Ok. End disclaimer. ^^)
----------
Also Iâm tagging a bunch of you because you reblogged my post saying you wanted this so here! TY for making it to the end ^^

Supergirl
Chapter 2: Forgotten (partly written)
AN: Nothing coordinates to Haikyuu actual timeline they would be older. And everything about Y/N gymnast career is made up, I donât know too much about gymnastics.
You have just arrived back in your hometown after three months away in Tokyo. Gymnastics demanded you leave Hyogo to train at the best facility especially after the 2012 Olympic where you won three gold metals and you have to defend your title as the world best right now. You spent most of your time in gym, more the 8 hours a day, to perfect your routines. It meant you donât have much of a social life outside of those that went to the gym and the few people you still talked to in Hyogo. You have been lonely, but thatâs just how life is sometimes. Slowly you look around for some blonde hair and canât find any. Waiting a few more awhile more you finally decide to text Atsumu.
You progressively get more and more nervous and angry as the time ticks by. Eventually you give up and start walking to the twinâs school seeing as it was closer to the trainer station then your home. Each step you take fuels your anger. Honestly you understand that Atsumu was just as passionate about volleyball as you were gymnastics, but you never have forgotten about any of your friends due to that passion. You see the gym come in to view and hasten your pace. At that moment you decide to be slightly cruel as you watch the boys practice from the door. You take out your phone once more and call Atsumu seeing him sit at the sidelines to let the backup setter practice with the starting lineup some. Watching as he grabs his phone, rolls his eyes and answer with a huff.
âThis better be goodâ
âYouâve forgotten somethingâ
âNo I donât believe soâ
âOh reallyâ
âYe Iâm sure.â
âThink really hard Atsumuâ
âUgh, even if I did it probably isnât important enough for you to call me in the middle of practice Y/Nâ
Both Osamu and Aran glance over at Atsumu with sympathy in their eyes. They both had tried to tell him earlier that he had to go get you but he had already locked into practice by then.
âTurn around jerkâ
And so Atsumu does realization and horror appear on his previously annoyed face as his eyes catch yours. You hang up and walk to sit down on the other side of the court no longer looking at him. Your face remained neutral even though you were seething on the inside. Aran, Osamu and Kita all gave you some form of hesitant acknowledgment knowing how angry you must of been. Practice comes to a close after awhile and you head straight to Osamu. Forcing a smile you greet your long time friend while ignoring his twin.
âYou madâ
âExtremelyâ
âMad enough to forget ya mad at meâ
âNo not really. But nothing piss Atsumu off more then someone picking his twin over himâ
You still smiling as you talk to the calmer twin. Osamu could see the slight edge to the grin that promised retribution and he really didnât want to be on the other end of it. To try in get back in your good grace he would play along to whatever stunt you were about to pull. He, however, is not prepared for you to throw your arms around his neck pulling your self much too close for anyone who isnât lovers and plant a kiss right next to his lips.
âSamu I missed you so much!â
Osamu watches his twin study them predatorily from a far as you continue to press yourself closer to him not that he minded that part. He minded that his team that had yet to meet you were now watching the scene unfold before them. Out of the corner of his eye, Osamu sees Suna whip out his phone as Atsumu marches over to them. You planning on Atsumu engaging you guys only smile to Osamu as his twin yanks you away from him.
âNo, hi Tsum?â
âHi Tsumâ
The amount of venom dripping from those two words even made Kita flinch back. Atsumu only pouted more as you looked back at him unimpressed before turning back to Osamu with a (fake) lovesick smile. Osamu basically groan in his head plays along and brings you back to him. You quickly deciding to escalate this hop up and wrap your legs around his waist. He barely stumbles as he holds you tightly smugly looking at the blonde.
âYouâre my favorite Samu. Always so nice, so happy we finally got togetherâ
Itâs almost like you stabbed both the twins with that. Whom your oblivious ass was unaware have been pinning after you since middle school. Neither made a rule because if either of them did it would ruin your friendship with both of them. So they locked up their feelings and just supported you and coped in their own ways. You turn just enough to watch Atsumuâs face turn red and him lunge. Being quick,agile and flexible you easily escape before you fall down with the twins. As Atsumu as about to start ripping into Osamu for asking you out Aran, knowing where all of this was going, covers your ears. You think itâs because Atsumu is screaming obscenities, but just before Atsumu can start talking Osamu gives him a hard wack.
âDude shut up, n/n, is obviously fucking with youâ
âAw I was hoping to kill two birds with one stoneâ
Sometimes you were extremely bitter, and usually the twins are here for it, but not when it is directed at them. You send them both one last glare before helping them both up. Quickly you give Atsumu a short hug that he doesnât even have time to reciprocate. Aran walks over and gives you a sympathetic pat on the head before he too got a hug.
âWho is thisâ
Suna asks putting his phone away raising an eyebrow. He gives you a quick glance over before looking at his teammates expectingly.
âY/N Y/L/N, the twins childhood friendâ
Aran explains gently and quietly. You now over your anger, mostly, give the newcomer a bright smile. The middle blocker furs his eyebrows.
âWhy does that sound familiarâ
âYou see, Y/N here is an Olympic athlete who won three gold medals in 2012,â
Kita claims as he places a hand on your head shooting you a gentle smile that you easily return. Suna has the decency to look at you impressed and with a nod of acknowledgment he drops that. You, however, are now intrigued by the tall man and step towards him.
âAnd you are?â
âSuna Rintaroâ
âOh, youâre Sunaâ
âAnd?â
âNothing, the twins talk about you sometimesâ
âWeird, they never talk about youâ
âWe do too!â
âDonât listen to him, Supergirl, we brag about our badass best friend all the time, or at least I doâ
Cue Osamu hitting Atsumu upside the head. You laugh it off. Before Kita calls for the boys to change and leave. As everyone disappears into the bathroom Kita walks over to you with a bag.
âI assumed it was suppose to be a surprise to the twinsâ
You look into the bag to find his jersey and give him a gracious smile. Kita could always tell what was going on even though he hadnât known you long. He knew it was more then Atsumuâs fan girls or Osamuâs teasing though Osamuâs teasing had something to do with it. He then too goes to change you put that bag in the duffle bag you had brought, so the twins wouldnât know. Soon they show up no longer sweaty and in fresh clothes. Atsumu slings a arm around your should with such casualty that one might believe it had been done for years (it has been), but you not having any of it give him a tiny pinch. He quickly takes his arm back with a Yelp then glares at you. You merely tilt your head basically begging for him to retaliate so you could put him back in his place. He knows this so he says and does nothing. Osamu having had just watched this whole interaction takes your duffle bag from you.
âYou coming over for dinner?â
âNah really just want to go home and sleepâ
You honestly didnât mean it in a petty way to avoid them. You were tired from the traveling and it was late. Only when you see his face droop do you realize thatâs how he took it.
âBut maybe come over tomorrow and we could fix Saturday breakfast togetherâ
You offer him a truce which he gladly takes. Neither of the twins like you being mad at them, but sometimes they forget you have feelings. Youâre Supergirl to them, indestructible. They walk you to your apartment building and wave at you good night before they leave for their own home. Osamu lays in his bed thinking about the day events. Heâs about to go to sleep when his phone goes off.
Masterlist
(A/N: I am sorry that your dialog is pink. I hate when people associate women with pink but it just how it worked out. Also sorry it this doesnât make sense I wrote it on little sleep. âşď¸)

Only Fans (Reid/Reader)
Requested by reminiscing-writer via my ask box: But like imagine if the team gets a new agent on the team and Spencer takes literally seconds to recognize her lmao SuRpRiSe sheâs an ex-porn star whose porns he was/is a huge fan of and even tho sheâs Uber professional and even genius- he just canât look her in the eyes without seeing her doing things to him lmao y did I think of this
Thank you so much for the request (and your patience with this prompt)! This fic is from Spencer's perspective, so it's a little different from what I usually write. I really liked this idea since it's a mix of crack and smut-ish stuff, so I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing!
Title: Only Fans
Pairing: Reid x Reader
Rating: M/Explicit
Words: 1427
Warnings: Swearing and borderline smut-- everything in this fic is c/o Spencer Reid's imagination, so no outright sexual activity. Even as an M/Explicit work, thereâs not much smut. A little sub!Reid?
I honestly thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when she walked into the bullpen, guided by Prentiss. I wasn't used to seeing her in FBI-appropriate clothing.
To be frank, I wasn't used to seeing her in any clothing appropriate for situations outside of the bedroom. I tried to be discreet while scanning her body as she shook hands with the other agents in the room.
My eyes weren't playing tricks on me, I noted as my eyes fell to her breasts. I'd recognize them anywhere. My mind wandered to a baby blue set of lingerie she'd worn in a video I'd seen. I knew I shouldn't think about her in that way, especially after seeing the badge on her left hip. I couldn't miss it with the hourglass figure.
I chastised myself in my head and tried to go back to my paperwork. I began scribbling meaningless notes in red pen on the case report in front of me while my mind continued to wander to all the times I'd seen her before-- legs spread and moaning.
After what felt like hours making pen marks and fantasizing I heard Prentiss clear her throat above me. "Reid," she said sternly, snapping me back to reality. "Reid, this is our new agent, Y/N." She gestured to the woman I had been daydreaming about. The woman held out her hand to me for a shake.
I hesitantly took her hand and shook. "It's nice to meet you Dr. Reid," she seemed to purr. "I've seen some of your lectures. I'm a really big fan." If only she knew.
I licked my lips and furrowed my brow slightly. "Thank you," I squeaked. I cleared my throat. "It's nice to hear someone appreciates my boring lectures."
"Oh they're far from boring," she mused. "They're part of what inspired me to become an FBI agent." She smiled, and I could feel myself getting hard. "And I'm definitely excited to be working with you." I felt a chill run down my spine. "And the rest of the team, of course," she added, gesturing to Emily.
I swallowed and let out a breathy laugh, looking to the floor as Emily led her to Rossi's office. How the fuck am I going to work with her when I can't even talk to her without getting hard?
Several days passed until we had a case. In that time, Y/N hadn't posted anything on any of her accounts (at least the accounts I knew about). I was almost grateful-- I thought it would make it easier to transition to seeing her as a colleague rather than an object of infatuation.
Easier said than done, I suppose. I could almost remember every frame of every video sheâd ever posted, and every time I saw her in the bullpen with her lip between her teeth or the tip of her tongue barely visible, it was all I could think about-- those lips on my neck or that tongue on my cock. I dreaded seeing her in the bullpen because she wouldnât get out of my head.
It only got worse when we got our first case. When she walked into the conference room, she was wearing a charcoal blazer with a low-cut blouse and the tightest pair of slacks Iâve ever seen. I couldnât even bother to make my usual comments as Garcia gave us the case details, because I found myself trying to catch a glimpse of her exposed cleavage every chance I could.
I couldnât help myself. How was I supposed to focus on a case when there was a woman-- not only sexy but smart-- that I had seen naked on multiple occasions sitting across the table from me? There was a part of me that selfishly couldnât wait to see her in the field with a bulletproof vest and a gun. Most of her pictures, videos, and streams had her acting as a submissive, but I had a feeling she was more a dominant type and just produced what appealed to the most subscribers. Iâm a sucker for strong women, I guess.
The case was relatively open and shut. It didnât take long to catch the guy, but the arrest was something else. Mainly because it was exactly like I imagined but better. I was her support during the takedown. Watching Y/N yell at an unsub and chase him down was almost erotic. I felt a little gross, but as she clicked a pair of handcuffs on him I couldnât help but stop in my tracks and imagine what it would be like if she handcuffed me and had her way with me.
When we stepped on the jet, most of the team crashed immediately, but Y/N sat at the table with me. I worked on the case report and she had her nose in a novel Iâd already read. After an hour or so, she closed her book and sighed. âCan I check out your report?â she asked out of the blue.
âItâs-- uh-- itâs not finished yet,â I sputtered.
âI know,â she replied, setting the book down in the seat next to her. âIâm just curious.â She chuckled. âAnd I may need a couple of tips when Iâm writing up my first report for the BAU.â
I smiled and handed her the report. She scanned through it at first, but then seemed to linger on a couple of paragraphs. I couldnât see what she was so focused on, but I wasnât paying much attention to it. I was watching her facial expressions as she quietly mouthed the words to herself with her brow furrowed. She finally handed it back. âThanks,â she said. âLooks great. I just think you should add more to it about how much of a badass I was when I took that son of a bitch down.â Immediately after, she winked and picked her book back up. The rest of the flight was a long one.
When we touched down, Y/N offered to give me a ride home. It would mean leaving my car, but I couldnât say no. I knew I had no chance of having sex with her, but it would at least be nice to get to know the woman Iâd been jacking off to for months now.
We didnât talk for the first few minutes of the car ride. She had her phone playing music through the AUX, and I recognized the music from one of her videos. âHave you heard this song?â she asked suddenly, glancing over at me before returning her attention to the road.
âUh, yeah, I have,â I responded, trying to act as though I wasnât replaying a video of her using a vibrator. âI really like it.â
I saw her grin, and it was silent for a couple seconds. âZugzwang,â she announced, and I immediately felt panic set in. I shifted in my seat, and got ready to defend myself. âSpence,â she began (I noted the nickname), âI read your report on the plane because I had a sneaking suspicion I knew you from somewhere.â
âWell, you said youâve seen some of my lectures,â I suggested.
She laughed quietly. âI meant in a more adult setting.â I swallowed the lump in my throat. âDo you know what I studied in college?â she asked. âLinguistics.â She looked over at me for half a second. âI recognized your language from the tips you sent me. Zugzwang is your username.â
âY/N, I am so sorry,â I began, but she cut me off.
âSpencer, thereâs no need to apologize. You helped pay my tuition that helped me get here. Just know that Iâm a professional, and I know you are too.â We pulled up to my apartment as she finished. I felt my cheeks flush, and I went to grab my bag from the back seat. I opened the door, getting ready to step out, but she stopped me by gently grabbing my wrist. âI see how you look at me: in the office and in the field. I know this is probably out of line, but Iâd love to give you some tips, too, if youâd let me.â
I was absolutely speechless as I stepped out of her car. She slipped a piece of paper in my hand and blew a kiss to me (the way she ended her streams). When I stepped into my apartment, I opened the paper to find her personal phone number with âxoxoâ written at the bottom. Suddenly I couldnât wait to see her in the bullpen.

Raya and the princesses (This is a modern AU)
âAlright, follow me you two.â
A storm trooper leads Namaari, and Raya threw the business of âOh My Disney!â. With Raya and Namaari being the newest Disney princesses, they now had to accompany the other prior princesses in their dressing room for online Disney events. For Raya, this experience was out of this world. With the song âLet it Goâ playing in the background while Star Wars ships zoom across the sky along with dumbo, she was overwhelmingly excited. She felt like a kid in a Candy store.
For Namaari however, this was something she struggled to find enjoying. Namaari loves peace and quiet when she has it and will often spend her time reading a book or reading a Fang legend to a bunch of Fang children when she doesnât have sparring sessions or piles and piles of Fang documents and contracts to sign. Namaari followed alongside the storm trooper while keeping her hands very close to her sides to avoid touching one of the happy square-headed people roaming around. Namaari also happened to be claustrophobic, so this wasnât helping whatsoever. But when Namaari took one glance at Raya beaming with enjoyment and her eyes glowing, she decided that maybe enjoying her time there wouldnât be terrible.
âOMG NAMI!!â Raya yelped. Nami was one of Rayaâs many nicknames for the fang princess.
âWhat? What is it?â Namaari said frantically.
âItâs THE buzz light year! THE BUZZ LIGHT YEAR NAMI! Can we please go say hi? I wanna give him my best impression of himself,â Raya said with pleading eyes.
With Namaari being Namaari, she obviously couldnât say no, because its Raya for Christ sake.
âOfco-,â
âNo. You both are already late for preparation for the âWhich Disney princess are youâ quizlet. Letâs go.â Barked the storm trooper. Damn, who spit in your congee? Raya wondered.
Raya looked back at Namaari with a, can you believe this asshat, Kind of look. Pursed her lips and rose her shoulders in a, it is what it is, kind of look. Namaari and Raya were great at reading each other like this. They did it all the time when they had fights.
After a few more stops with Rayaâs stalling, and more of the storm troopers eyerolling (which you couldnât tell because of his helmet but it was obvious), they eventually made it too the âcast members onlyâ section. There they found Nick wild, Grumpy the dwarf, tinker bell, and hei hei.
âAhh ha ha, so these must be the new princesses,â Nick walks towards the trio of the storm trooper and the Kumandran princesses. His words trail off as he looks at them both up and down.
âI gotta ask- no poofy dresses? Whats that all about?â Nick asks, direction his attention towards raya, then Namaari.
âNah, dresses make it way harder to beat Nami at sparring,â Raya responds as she shifts her wight to her right leg and crosses her arms in a cool way.
âPlease- like youâve ever beaten be binturi,â Namaari blushes and mimics rayas arm cross. Nick gags at the mini flirting session.
âwell, gotta hand it to ya princess- I think I like you more without the dress. I guess I owe Flash 10 bucks.â Nick says as he sticks a lollipop in his mouth and puts his shades on and walks away.
âDid a fox just try and flirt with me?â Raya laughed. Namaari was a little mad that anyone except her would talk to Raya flirtatiously, but brushed it off.
âYou two are running short on time. You, go through that door, and you through that one.â The storm trooper points at two doors that are directly across the hall from each other. Namaari and Raya find this odd, especially because theyâre both princesses- shouldnât they be in the same room?
Namaari goes off through her door while Raya is ushered by the Storm trooper to go through hers.
âWhat an ass.â Raya mumbled to herself.
The Moment Raya looks up, she is bombarded with the smell of perfume, and sweet sounds of angelic singing. Raya looks around at the beautifully designed room. She stares over at the other women in the room, primping each otherâs hair or mingling amongst themselves. She straightens her hat. She saw one princess playing jump rope with two others. But the jump rope wasâŚhair? Raya was confused. Raya begins to âwalkâ over too where the other princesses are but struggles to actually move her legs because sheâs not great with people. Especially because she hasnât had much interaction with them for 6 years. She starts rehearsing in her head good things to say to someone, like compliments, and asking, âHowâs the weather today?â. Small talk. Raya hated the concept.
She eventually builds up the courage to stop standing in her own embarrassment and walk over to the princess area but fails as she lands back first on the floor. She slipped in something.
The princesses immediately notice this because Raya was quite dramatic about her fall when she did. She groaned in agony as a beautiful princess rushed towards her.
âOh! Are you okay? I am truly sorry. Raja must have peed on the floor again. Bad kitty!â The princess scolds her giant cat- tiger that lays on the long blue couch. He cocks his head in confusion when he heard his name. He ignores her and licks his left paw.
âOMG. Are you the new princess? Guys! Sheâs the new princess!â Another princess rushes over. This girl has wet curly hair with a black and white pig by her side. All of the other princesses file in over Raya. They all begin to clap whilst a princess begins to sing angelically in celebration.
âFINALLY! Iâve been waiting for another badass warrior chick to show up. Sick sword girl! Whereâd you get itâ A girl with short straight black hair grabs raya by the arm and walks with her around the room.
âoh- thanks! It belongs to my Ba.â Raya says as the puts one arm behind her head in nervousness.
âWhats a Ba-â A princess with long read hair and rosy cheeks asks with a head cock. Sheâs cut off by the next princess.
âHoly crap! How are youâre arms so muscly??â One of the princesses asks as she squishes rayaâs biceps, which makes her highly uncomfortable. Raya begins to back away from the large crowd of girls- which was a mistake.
âUm- yeah I guess soâŚyou should see My girlfr-â Raya is cut off when she trips over something on the ground and lands on something warm and fury- Raja.
Raja growls and purrs at raya, but then begins to lick her because he senses her fear. Raya leaps up.
âGah! Donât hurt me orange serlot!â Raya exclaims as the goes into the sideways feat position on the ground.
âRaja, play nice!â Jasmine says. Raya couldnât tell it was here as she was rolled up for the sake of her life.
âWhatâs a serlo-âThe same princess from earlier who asked what a Ba was asked. Shes interrupted once more once an unexpected guest makes an appearance.
âRide Like the wind ya big fur-bug!â A girl with curly red hair flysâ around the room on- Tuk Tuk? He was here! Meredith nocks over a bunch of chairs and startles Raja.
âFur-bug? TUK TUK!â Raya gets up in relief to finally see a familiar face- a face with a big wet nose. Tuk Tuk stops rolling and galops over to Raya, much to Meredithâs disappointment. All of the other princesses share an âawwâ as Raya nuzzles Tuk Tuk with her nose.
âBoo! I was having fun ey? He sure is quite a ride tho. Ought to give the lad that.â Meredith said as she shoulders bumped Aurora. Aurora clears her throat and steps away from Meredith slightly.
âGlad to see you bud!â Raya said. All of the other princesses gather around Raya and tuktuk, who are still near the door. She never got to get fully settled in after being bombarded with questions and perfume.
âNow ladyâs, I think itâs about time we all gave the new gal a proper introduction.â Tiana says with her hands on her hips, gesturing her statement towards Mulan and Cinderella, who were the main ones who asked Raya questions. They both giggle in agreement.
All of the princesses introduce themselves and show raya their power if they have one, or just tell her about their past and how they became royalty. Raya listens to each of them in awe but gets distracted during a few of the short speeches only to be wondering how Namaari was doing in the other room. She hoped Namaari was okay. They last few minutes mostly consisted of years and uh-huhs from Rayaâs side as she listened to all of the princessesâ backstories. After a while, the very last princess told Raya about her backstory.
âAnd thatâs how I saved the world with my good friend Maui, shape shifter, demigod of the wind and- âMoana goes on but gets cut off.
âOkay but for real, for once just say Maui and drop the formalities.â Anna groaned with impatience as she twirled her red strands of hair.
âHey, I gotta give my man his credit. Put some respect on his name, you know?â Moana says all hyped up. Mulan screams âPERIODâ from across the room as she sharpens her sword. Pocahontas rolls her eyes at the childish ness.
âPeriod is so old now Mulan- no one says it anymore,â Pocahontas says.
âYou right you right⌠SHEEEEEEESHâ Mulan says as she connects two fingers to the crease of her forearm. She bits her lips and widens her leg stance. Moana dies of laughter at this.
âMaui does that all the time and its so fricking annoying,â Moana says. Raya laughs at all of this; she felt like she almost found her place. Raya loved making others laugh and enjoyed doing it in the form of 10-year-old boy humor. She was glad that these girls matched her energy.
âGuyâs, were kinda getting off track- New girl. How did you become a Disney princess? Whoâs your prince? Or were you already born into nobility?â Tiana asks as she brushed Rapunzelâs long gold strands.
Raya pursed her lips. She hated speaking in front of large crowds. She was never the best at presenting school projects in her child days and doesnât enjoy it now either. One of the many reasons why she is in no hurry to become Chief of Heart. Raya suddenly notices all eyes on her. Oh shit, they actually want me to speak? Fuck no-
âUmâŚâ Raya starts. âWell, I guess I was born into nobility. My father is chief of my homeland Heart, a land in Kumandra,â she said nervously as she looked down and played with dead skin on her finger.
âAnd as for a prince- I donât have one? I have a girlfriend named Namaari whosâ a princess of Fang, another land in KumandraâŚâ Raya noticed all of the princesses staring at her in awe and interest. Even belle put down her book once the Heart land princess mention a female love interest.
âYeahâŚWe kind of went from enemies to lovers. She sorts of stabbed me in the back when we were kids and caused our world to face 6 years of apocalypse,â Raya Gained some confidence s=once she realized her audience was enjoying her story. âBut eventually I had to realize that maybe putting my faith in Namaari was the only thing that could save us. Kumandra. When the druun, which was the cause of the apocalypse, was closing in on me, Namaari, a baby named Noi, A buff winter soldier named Tong, and one hell of a cook named Boun, I decided that the only way to get us out of there was to use the one thing sisu wanted us to do; trust each other. I put my faith in Namaari, and she came through. And she has ever since.â
Raya finished. She looked around to see the other princesses gathers around her on their stomachs with their chins on their hands like little preschoolers.
âWoah.â They all said.
âDamn girl! Thatâs some powerful shit!â Mulan said as the rapped an arm around Rayaâs shoulder in approval. Mulan was slightly taller that Raya, about Namaariâs height. Raya smiled sweetly as the other princesses Hollard in agreement.
âSo how did you find all of these people? Noi, Tong, all of them?â Jasmine asked. She was sitting on her magic carpet with Raja purring by her side.
âOh! I kinda scooped them up with me along the way. You see, I had to travel to each of the four kingdoms, Fang, Talon, Spine, and Tail to get these gem pieces that would save the world. I found Boun in Tail- He was my getaway driver-â
âFrom whom? Were the druun chasing you?â Elsa asked eagerly.
âNamaari. Namaari was chasing after me becauseâŚActually, I had no idea why. Before she was chasing me, I had just gotten a Gem piece from Tail. Namaari showed up out of no where all of a sudden and mention something about the dragon scroll that I stole from Fang, which was useless to her which makes me wonder why she needed it; She was also holding my hair pin which is also kinda odd- â
âI KNOW WHY! SHE LOVED YOU RAYA WERE YOU BLIND? WHY ELSE WOULD SHE KEEP YOUR HAIR PIN THINGY?â Belle jumped up in excitement. She felt like this was some kind of good book.â
âNah, it wasnât love. I think Namaari wanted to get RIPPED TONIGHT-âMulan shouted as the fake flexed her arms.
âRIP THAT PUSSY AYYEE!â Moana moved her arms and hips to copy the Tiktok trend. Aurora pinched the bridge of her nose and groaned at the immaturity. Raya was Hot red and covered her face to hide it- did Namaari actually like her at the time? I guess it would make sense, seeing as how Namaari always called her Dep la, which meant strangely beautiful.
âLadies! Let her finish!â Tiana snapped. Raya could tell that Tiana was the mom of the group.
âAnywas, after I found Boun in Tail, I picked up baby noi in Talon, where she conned me- she faked cried so she could steal my gem piece,â Raya shook her head in laughter at the memory.
âThat baby new what was up.â Pocahontas chimed in.
âI eventually caught her and her gang of Ongis and helped her earn some honest loot by helping me get the gem piece from the chief of Talon.â Raya concluded.
âWe took Noi with us and went to spine, where tong captured me and sisu, and the gem pieces. Tuk tuk, Boun, Noi and the Ongis thankfully came to our rescue, but that was exactly when Namaari showed up in spine.â Raya said.
âYes! More Namaari moments! Did you guys kiss?â Moana asked eagerly.
âOh, they totally did more than that moana.â Mulan said with her eyebrows quirked and her arms crossed.
âShut up! We didnât do anything! She actually beat my ass.â Raya should choose better wording.
âEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!â All of the princesses squealed, except for Meredith, who was busy trying to stop tuk tuk from eating cold beignets Tiana had made so they could go on another joyride.
âNO WAY. NO WAY. YALL DID? SHE DID? PERIOD NAMAARI AHHHH YESSSS!!â Mulan was jumping on the couch in happiness. Raya was blushing so hard that she had steam coming out of her ears.
âUh, g-guys? If âBeat my assâ means what I think it means, then I think Eric might have beaten mine last nightâŚâ Ariel said with a blush. Mulan, moana and Pocahontas had their jaws wide open. Cinderella had her hand over her mouth to try and hold back her laugh.
âARIEL! YOU NAUGHTY GIRL! I DIDNâT KNOW ERIC HAD IT LIKE THAT! WAS IT GOOD THOUGH?â Moana asked loudly, hoping eric would hear from across the hall. Ariel nodded. Ariel was known at the innocent one of the groups, so this was a huge shock to everyone.
âSame Ariel! Naveen gave it to me good last night if you know what Iâm sayingâŚâ Tiana said as she poked her lips out. Moana and Mulan couldnât help but squeal. Raya was on the ground dying laughing with Pocahontas at what Tiana said.
For the next few minutes, the girls all went on rants about their sex life, except for the ones with know love interest. They laughed a whole lot that day. Raya felt lightheaded the entire time she was there due to laughing.
Eventually, the girls decided to settle down and all watch the Lion king. Mulan made the popcorn, while Belle gathered the drinks. Raya had never seen the lion king before because this was her first time actually watching a movie with friends. The movie was great, but the loud commentary about the movie made by mostly moana and Mulan was even better, and the other princess agreed to this with laughter. During the Hakuna Matata scene, Mulan played Timone, and Moana was Pumba, while Raya tried her best to copy Simbaâs lines for the mini skit.
âWHEN HE WAS A YOUNG WART HOG,â Mulan sang badly.
âWHEN I WAS A YOUNG WART HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGGGG!â Moana sang worse, which made the other princesses laugh.
The other princess enjoyed this. Raya didnât that much, because she had to eat jello and pretend it was the bug Simba ate in the movie.
âWHAT IS THIS TEXTURE?â Raya shouted with a mouth full of goo. Jasmine died laughing from Rayaâs response, along with Aurora.
âEAT IT YOU PUSSY!â Mulan shouted, breaking character.
All of the girls got emotional during the, can you Feel the Love tonight song. The all sang in harmony, except for raya because she didnât know the song. Raya did however cry during the scene where Simba and Scar fought on pride rock and Simba almost died multiple times.
âNO NOT SIMBA!â Raya shouted at the screen.
âDonât worry, he lives.â Meredith shouted from across the room, still trying to get tuk tuk up.
Raya Couldnât help but enjoy the time she had theyâre with the princesses. She felt at home. Obviously not like Kumandra, for that will always be her home, but she felt like she found her people. Namaari usually tool Rayaâs jokes to seriously, or just pinched her the bridge of her nose and chuckle when Raya mad 10-yearold boy humor. Raya was just finally glad to find some girls who were wild like her.
After the movie ended, the girls clapped and cheered.
âHey, didnât when have a Disney princess quizlet to attend?â Elsa asked. Everyone else shrugged and ignored it. They actually didnât have anything to attend, because as we know, ralph broke the internet, so nobody was able to go online and take the quiz.
âQuick question for you Raya- Is Boun Single, I mean, a man that can cook; thatâs what I needâ Moana said as she pointed to nothing.
âPreach.â Mulan commented.
âMOANA BOUN IS 10- DID I KNOW MENTION THAT?!â Raya said. All of the other girls busted out laughing.
ââŚI meanâŚA six year age difference is that-â
âMOANA OF MOTONUI!â Tiana shouted as she threw a pillow at moana. The other girls couldnât help but laugh. Raya was going to have a fun time with these girls.

The Transfer Part 8
1/2
Your five weeks in the hospital were not fun, not fun at all. Kya decided to extend your stay in the hospital after the same day she allowed you to go home, you fell down the stairs of the hospital. In your defense, the floor was slippery and you didn't get to grab the handle in time, the paparazzi taking pictures with their flash didn't help either. Lin was pissed when she learned about your fall and how the nurse failed to catch you. She was chewing the poor man up and down, and when you woke up she chewed you up too.
So here you were, finally getting discharged home, again. You were walking out of the hospital once more. Jia was waiting for you at the lobby to take you home and make sure you wouldn't have a repeat of the stairs incident.
âReady to go home?â She asked, grabbing your bags.
âHeck yes, my bed is waiting for me.â You smile as both of you walk to the front door where Lin and Mako were waiting.
âWeâll escort you to the patrol car. Don't want them to get out of line and try to do anything stupid.â Lin responded as Mako opened the door.
The four of you started walking as people with cameras started popping out of the bushes and started taking pictures and asking questions. You held onto Jiaâs arm as the anxiety rose.
âBrace yourself.â Lin muttered.
âOfficer Y/N! Officer Y/N! How are you feeling?â One of the men asked.
âUmm, I'm doing good thank you.â You answered, trying to walk a bit faster.
âOfficer Y/N when are you returning to work?â A woman asked.
âAs soon as I'm cleared.â You smile nervously.
âSo you are going back to work! What do your coworkers think of having a heavily tattooed officer around them?â
âWell I think-â
âDo you belong to a gang? Are you a criminal?â
âNo, of course not! I think people are-â
âHow close to death did you come close to when you went inside the building?â
âVery close, I-â
âAre you planning on doing more body modifications?â
âNot right now. Maybe-â
âWhat is the meaning behind your tattoos?â
âWell, actually some don't have meaning they are just pretty and-â
âIs it true you are a dangerous mob leader back in Ba Sing Se?â
âOf course not!â
âAre you an aggressive person?â
âNo!â
âWhy do you have so many tattoos if you aren't a bad person?â
Their questions were infuriating and you were losing patience. âTHEY ARE JUST DRAWINGS ON SKIN! People can express themselves however they want as long as they don't hurt others!â You barked.
This seemed to eager them as they got closer into your personal space, their cameras almost touching you.
âOfficer Y/N do you like women or men?â
You blushed at the intrusive question. âW-what?â
âIs it true you sleep around?â
âNo!â
âY/N do you find your female coworkers attractive? Have you slept around with any of them?â
âWhat kind of questions are those?!â You asked.
Lin growled as the questions got more and more invasive. She could see as you started to decompensate so she instructed Jia to have the patrol ready.
A soft hand grabbed your wrist as the Chief started dragging you along. You could feel the warmth coming from her hand and felt yourself blush. Her face was stern, looking only straight ahead. You felt her hand push you inside the patrol car and the door closing behind you. From the window you could see the Chief ushering people back and giving the car space to leave.
Soon you and Jia were making your way out of the hospital parking lot and towards your home. Mako was behind you on his motorbike.
âSo that was intense.â Jia said, making conversation.
âAre they always this invasive?â
Jia shrugged. âUsually they aren't that invasive but I guess since you're new here they got excited.â
You sighed relaxing into the back seat.
âYou okay?â Jia asked, looking at you from the rear view mirror.
âThat little walk drained more energy than I imagined.â
âGood thing you're going home.â Jia hummed
You fell asleep in the car, your head laying on the window. You only woke up when Jia hit a pothole and your head smacked hard against the glass.
âFrick!â You yelp, grabbing your head.
âSorry! Sorry! We're here.â
You look out to see a bunch of people with cameras waiting at the front steps of the apartment complex stairs.
âUgh, fuck me.â You muttered.
Jia chuckled. âDon't worry, the big guns are here.â She pointed with her head towards the Chiefâs patrol car pulling out beside them. She got out and knocked on the window.
âReady?â
You nodded, opening the door and following behind her like a pup. Jia and Mako were by your side too, making a body barrier between you and the other people. You reached out and grabbed the Chiefâs belt to keep the pace with her. She looked back at you questionably but as soon as she saw your anxious face she nodded and continued walking.
These people were as relentless and rude as the other ones. They asked about your family, your friends, your relationship life and even your sex life. One of them even got as bold as to ask your favorite positions. You felt utterly humiliated and embarrassed as the Chief guided you to your apartmentâs front door.
âYou're okay. I'm going to disperse the crowd with the other officers so you can have some privacy. I advise you to stay inside in case someone gets the funny idea to come knocking.â
With that the Chief left, closing the door behind her. You scurried to the window to watch her and the other officers disperse the crowd. Some people even got physical with the officers earning themselves a stay in jail. You stayed by the window until they were all mostly gone. A few stayed behind and pointing their cameras up to the window.
It was lunchtime so Mako brought take out and Lin came back to eat lunch with the three of you. Jia was serving everyone.
âI don't get what is so interesting about me. I'm sure there have been officers more interesting than me doing cooler things. Why do all those people want to take pictures of me?â
Lin took a sip of her cup and settled it down. âYou are a heavily tattooed police woman. Being a woman alone in this world will grant you media if you do the slightest thing that can capture people's attention. You did this by saving a little girlâs life while being covered in more ink than a museum's canvas.â
Jia and Mako nodded. âBeing a police woman myself, I've been in some attention more than once.â The blonde responded.
âReally? What happened?â You asked intrigued.
âA politician asked me out and I declined. I was respectful but I guess he didn't like that. He started saying that I was trying to seduce him or some shit. Almost cost me my job.â
âI wasn't going to allow that.â Lin responded, taking a bite of her food.
Jia nodded, smiling. âYeah, that's the thing with Chief Beifong. She doesn't do injustice. She investigated and found that he did that a lot. Gave him a fine and almost jail time for slander, dude never did it again.â Jiaâs smile grew wider. âThat's why Chief Beifong is my hero.â
Lin scoffed, a light blush covering her cheeks while Jia giggled.
âAre you ready for your future interviews?â Mako asked.
You groaned. âNo. Not one bit. That's just stressing me out. Can we not talk about it? I prefer to have some peace while I can still get it.â
âWell you have to talk about it eventually.â Mako responded.
âI talked to Korra and Asami. They agree to help you with them. Sato especially is really good when it comes to personal interviews so she can be a great help.â
You looked at Lin shocked, mouth agape. âAvatar Korra and Asami Sato?â
âDo you know any other Korra or Asami Sato?â She quirked her eyebrow.
You were trying to understand the information. âAsami Sato, the CEO of Future Industries and Avatar Korra themselves are going to mentor me?â
Jia chuckled at your amazement.
âY/N they're ordinary people like you and me. It's not like you're meeting a god or something.â Mako scoffed.
âARE YOU KIDDING ME?â You smack the table. âTHEY ARE LITERALLY THE MOST TALENTED,BADASS MOST AMAZING WOMEN IN THE WORLD!â
âDon't smack the table, I'm trying to enjoy my meal.â Lin growled.
You blushed. âSorry.â
âThough Mako is right Y/N, Asami and Korra are just like you and me. They're so sweet.â Jia charmed.
âYOU KNOW THEM?â You yell in awe.
âVolume Y/N, you're not at the park.â Lin said, irritated.
âSorry, sorry. I just can't believe you guys are so casual about them. I mean come on!â
Jia chuckled. âSoon you're going to meet them yourself and see how down to earth they both are.â
âWe are having dinner at Temple Island tonight and you're going to be meeting them. Kya and Amara will also be there. It's usually casual so don't go completely overboard.â
âTonight!?â You asked.
âYou have any other plans?â Lin asked.
âNo- No. It's just so sudden.â
âZhu Li wanted me to tell you about an interview for monday. You could decline but it's not in your best interest. This is your chance to advocate for people like you, and I can tell you there are many.â
You nodded as the four of you continued to eat in comfortable silence.
Jia looked up and finally took a good view of your place. âNice digs by the way.â
âThanks.â You smiled.
Your apartment was modest to say the least. It was adorned in Earth Kingdom and Fire nation decor. A few plants here and there, pots and vases on the top of shelves and a few colorful rugs. You had some paintings that you have brought from home, they were of poems, animals or beautiful flowers.
âHippie shit, reminds me of Kyaâs apartment.â Lin said, looking around.
You laughed blushing. âWhat? We like colorful things. Not everyone can be dull and soulless.â
Mako almost choked on his food and Jia fought to keep a laugh from erupting from her gut as they watched the Chief arched her brow. You smiled nervously and continued eating.
Lunchtime was soon over and you helped Jia clean up. Lin and Mako left the apartment but not before reminding you to be ready for dinner at the temple.

In Another Universe Chapter: 11 - Retrieving the Mortal Cup
It was still slightly raining when Simone pulled up at the corner and honked at them twice. Clar's heart took a leap, a part of him was worried she wouldn't come. Jayce squinted through the rain and said something about how the van looked like a rotting banana, which wasn't wrong.
Simone honked again. Clar saw her through the blurry wet windows. with a sigh he pulled his hood up over his head. "Come on, let's go."
They splashed through the filthy puddles on the pavement.
Simone crawled into the back to open the door for them, revealing the torn and beaten up seats, that had springs sticking out.
Isidore's nose wrinkled. "Are these safe to sit on?" "It's safer than riding on the roof," said Simone in a pleasant tone. "Which is your other option." She nodded a greeting at Jayce and Alec, ignoring Clar entirely. "Hi." "Hi indeed," said Jayce, and lifted a bag that held their weapons. "Where can we put these?" Simone pointed to the back, where the girls usually kept their instruments, while Alec and Isidore climbed into the van and sat on the seats.
"Shotgun!" Clar announced as Jayce made her back around the side of the van. Alec grabbed for her bow strapped across her back. "Where?" "He means he wants to sit in the front seat," said Jayce, pushing wet hair behind her ear. "It's something mundanes say."
"That's a very nice bow," said Simone, with a nod towards Alec. Alec blinked water off her eyelashes. "Do you know anything about archery?" she asked, in a tone of doubt. "I did archery camp," said Simone. "Six years of it." The response for this was three blank stares and Clar giving a supportive smile, which Simone ignored as well. She looked up at the sky.
"We should get going before it starts raining again." The front seat was covered in chip wrappers and food crumbs. Clar brushed as much as he could off. Simone put her foot to the pedal before he'd finished, and flung him back against the seat. "Ow," he said. "Sorry." She still didn't look at him.
Clar heard the soft talking of the others in the back, probably discussing battle plans and the best way to cut off a demons head with getting ichor on your new leather boots. There was nothing separating the others from the front of the van, Clar still felt the awkwardness between him and Simone.
"So what's up with the 'hi' thing?" he asked as Simone turned the car. "What 'hi' thing?" she replied. "The 'hi' thing that people do. How when you saw Jayce and Alec, you said 'hi' and they replied 'hi' back. Why not 'hello'?" "Hello is not badass," she informed him. "Real badasses are laconic."
"So you're saying the more badass you are, the less you say?" "Exactly." She nodded past him, he could see the east river. "That's why in the movies the badasses don't say a word, just nod. The nod means 'i am a badass, and I recognize that you are a badass as well,' but they don't say anything cause they are Wolverine and Magneto and it would mess up their vibe to explain it."
"I don't have the slightest idea what you are talking about," said Jayce, from the back.
"Good," Clary said, and Simone gave him a small smile.
ââââââ
When they got to Clar's house, the rain had stopped. Jayce, Alec, and Isidore, went to check the "demon activity levels" while they had Clar and Simone wait by the van.
Simone watched them as they went around the house. "Demon activity levels? Do demons like do workouts inside the house or something?" "No," Clar said and pushed his hood back. "The sensor tells them how powerful the demons are and if there are any demons around." Simone had an impressed look. "That's actually very helpful."
He looked at her. "About last nightâ" She held her hand up. "Don't. We don't need to talk about it. In fact I don't want to talk about it." "Let me say one thing," he spoke quickly. "I know when you said you loved me, my reply was not what you wanted." "True. I had always thought when I finally told someone 'I love you' they'd say 'I know' back, like in Starwars." "You're so geeky," said Clar, not able to help himself.
She gave him a glare. "Sorry," he said. "Look, Simone iâ" "No," she said. "You look, Clar. Really look at me. Do you think you can do that?"
He looked at her. Looked at her brown eyes, her uneven eyebrows, her dark brown hair and shy smile and her hands graceful like a musician's that was all part of Simone, who was part of him. If he told the truth, could he really say that he'd never known she had loved him? Or that he had just never thought what he'd do about it if she did?
He sighed. "Seeing through glamour is easy. It's people that are difficult." "We see what we want to see," she said quietly. "Not Jayce," he said, thinking about those clear and emotionless eyes of her's. "Her more than anyone."
He gave a frown. "Whatâ" "Okay," called Jayce's voice, interrupting their conversation. He turned to her. "We have checked it all, nothing. Very low activity. Most likely just Forsaken, and they probably won't bother us unless we bother them." "And if they do bother us," said Isidore, with a grin. "We'll take them down."
Alec pulled the bag out of the back of the van, dropping it onto the sidewalk. "You ready to kick some demon butt!" she announced. Jayce gave her a odd look. "Alec, are you ok?" "Fine." Not looking at her, Alec put her bow and arrows down in the back seat of the van and grabbed a wooden staff with two blades on the end. "This is much better." Isidore gave his sister a look of concern. "But your bow. . ." Alec cut him off. "I know what I am doing, Isidore."
The bow kay in the backseat, Simone reached a hand out to touch it, then drew back when she saw a group of young women pushing strollers down the street. They didn't notice the armed the three teenagers, standing by the van. "Why can I see you guys?" asked Simone. "What happened to your invincibility glamour?" "You can see us," said Jayce. "Because you know the truth of what you are looking at now." "Yeh," said Simone. "I suppose I do."
She fought a little when they insisted she stay back and wait with the van, Jayce told her the importance of needing getaway car by the curb and ready. "The sunlight is fatal for demons, but not to Forsaken. What if they come after us? What if the car were to get towed?"
The last Clar saw of Simone was her feet on the dash and going through Erica's CDs.
The moment they walked into the house the smell hit Clar, he couldn't quite describe it. it smelled like rotten eggs, bad meat and seaweed rotting in the hot sun. Isidore's nose wrinkled and Alec looked sick, but Jayce looked as if they were in a field of flowers and smelling the perfume of them. "There were demons here recently," she announced with a cold delight.
Clar with an anxious look, asked. "They aren't still hereâ" "Nope," she shook her head. "We would have picked it up on the sensor. Still." She jerked her chin towards Dorothea's door. "She may have questions to answer if the Clave finds out she has been dealing with demons." "I doubt the Clave will be happy to hear any of this," said Isidore. "Although, she'll probably fair better than us with this." "If we get the Cup they won't care," said Alec, looking around, her blue eyes taking in the foyer. "Especially if we take down a few Forsaken while we're at it." Jayce shook her head. "They are in the upper apartment. I guess that unless we try to get into the upper apartment, they won't bother us."
Isidore blew a strand of hair out of his face and frowned at Clar. "What you waiting for?" Involuntarily Clar glanced at Jayce, who gave him a sideways grin. Go on, her eyes said.
He walked across the foyer to Dorothea's door, gently stepping. The skylight was blackened with dirt and the entryway lightbulb was out, the only light came from Jayce's witchlight. He reached the door and knocked lightly, and then again with more force.
The door swung open, light spilling out into the foyer. There stood Dorothea.
"Clar!" she exclaimed, and swept him into a hug. "Good God, boy," she said, shaking her head. "The last I saw of you, you disappeared through my portal. Where did you end up?" "Williamsburg," he said. Her eyebrows went up. "And yet they say there is no convenient pubic transportation here in Brooklyn."
She swung the door open all the way and gestured them inside. The place looked to be unchanged, everything the same as it was when Clar was here last: The same tarot cards and crystal ball on the table. He had the urge to grab the cards. Dorothea sat down in a armchair and stared at the Shadowhunters with Beady eyes. Scented candles burned on the table, which didn't do much for the smell that was in the entire house.
"I am assuming you still haven't found your mother and sister?" she asked Clar. He shook his head. "No. But I know who took them, now."
Dorothea darted her eyes towards Alec and Isidore, who were looking closely at the Hand of Fate on the wall. Jayce, looking unconcerned in the slightest in her role as bodyguard was lounging against a chair arm.
Satisfied that the none of her stuff was being destroyed, Dorothea looked back to Clar. "Was it by chanceâ" "Valentine," Clar confirmed. "Yes." She sighed. "I feared that," she sat back in her chair. "Do you know what he wants from her?" "I know that she was married to himâ" "Love gone terribly wrong. The worst."
Jayce made a soft, almost inaudible noise at thatâa chuckle. Dorothea pricked her ears at that. "What is so funny, girl?" "What do you know about it?" she said. "Love, I mean." "More than you may think," she said. "I read your tea leaves, little Shadowhunter, remember? Have you fallen in love with the wrong person yet?"
Clar thought back to that day, when Jayce seemed to not be paying much attention to Dorothea reading their tea leaves and him drawing the ace of cups, in fact he was almost sure Jayce was probably only half there until the name Valentine came up. But he remembered Madame Dorothea saying something about her falling in love with the wrong person, and he wondered if she even cared.
Jayce said. "Unfortunately, my one and only true love remains to be myself." Dorothea roared. "Well, at least," she said. "You don't need to worry about rejection, Jayce Wayland." "Not necessarily, I do turn myself down occasionally, to keep things interesting."
Dorothea roared again. Clar interrupted her. "You are probably wondering why we are here, Madame Dorothea." "I figured," said Dorothea, "That you enjoyed the pleasure of my company. Am I wrong?" "I don't have time for the pleasure of someone's company. I need to help my mom and sister, and to do that there is something I need."
"And that is?". "It is something called the Mortal Cup," Clar said. "Valentine thought that my mother had it. That is why he took her." Dorothea looked astonished. "The Cup of the Angel?" she said in disbelief. "Raziel's Cup, in which he mixed the blood of angels and of men and gave it to man to drink, and created the first Nephilim?" "That's the one," said Jayce with dryness in her voice.
"Why would he think she had it?" Dorothea demanded. "Why Jocelyn, of all people?" Realization started to dawn on he before Clar could say anything. "Because she was not Jocelyn Fray at all, yes of course," she said. "Back then she was Jocelyn Fairchild, his wife. Who everyone thought was dead. She took the Cup and fled, didn't she?"
Clar thought he saw something flick in her eyes but it was gone so fast that he thought he Imagined it.
"So," said Dorothea, "have you any idea what you're going to do now? Wherever she has hidden it, t can't be easy to findâthat is if you even want to find it. Valentine could do horrible things with it." "I want to find it," said Clar. "We wantâ" Smoothly Jayce cut him off. "We know where it is," she said. "It is simply a matter of retrieving it."
Dorothea widened her eyes. "Then where is it?". "It's here," said Jayce, in such a smug tone that Alec and Isidore came over from the bookcase they were looking at to see what was happening. "Here? As in you have it on you?"
"Not exactly," said Jayce, who, Clar felt was enjoying herself in an appalling manner. "I mean you have it." "That isn't funny in the least," she said with such a sharp tone that Clar was worried everything had gone terribly wrong. Why does Jayce always have to antagonize everyone? "You do have it," said Clar quickly. "But youâ"
Dorothea sat up from her chair to her full height and Looked down at them angrily. "You are mistaken," she said with ice in her voice. "In Imagining I have the Cup and in daring coming here and call me a liar."
Alec put her hand to the staff. "Uh, oh," she said under her breath.
Bafflely, Clar shook his head. "No," he said very quickly, "I am not saying you're a liar, I swear. What I am saying is the Cup is here, just you never realized it." Madame Dorothea still looking at him coldly. "Explain," she said. "What I am saying is my mother hid it here," said Clar. "Years ago. But she never told you because it had nothing to do with you." "she gave it to you disguised," Jayce explained, "In the form of a gift."
Blanky Dorothea looked at her. Doesn't she realize? Clar thought, he was puzzled. "The tarot cards," he said. "The card deck she painted for you."
Dorothea's gaze went to the cards on the table. "The cards?" Clar walked to the table and picked the deck up. He found the Ace of Cups and pulled it out, setting the rest of the cards back down. "Here," he said.
They all were looking at him, perfectly still. He slowly turned the card over and looked at his mother's artwork: the hand wrapped around the golden stem of the Mortal Cup.
"Jayce," he said. "I need your stele." She pressed it into his palm. He turned the card over and traced the runes that were painted on itâ a twist there and line here, they meant something entirely different. When he turned the card back over, the picture had changed:;the fingers had released their grasp on the Cup, the hand seemed to be almost offering it to Clar as if saying, take it. He slid the stele into his pocket. And reached into the small square of the card. His hand wrapped around it and he pulled it out, and thought he heard small sighs before, the card that was now blank disappeared into ashes.

 CHAPTER ONE IS PINNED ON MY PROFILE!
Sunday morning.
Slowly, I woke from my slumber hoping that I slept through church. Unfortunately, the sound of footsteps coming towards my door tells me differently. Knocking at the door, I hear a quiet voice come through the crack of my door.
âMaggy, are you up? Mamas goin have a fit if you aint up for church.âÂ
That's my brother John, he is always there to wake me up on sundays. He enjoys going to church. Iâm not really into it, i usually try to go back to sleep but my parents barely ever let me sleep through church, small town equals gossip. No matter what you do, someone is always talking about you. Sat the wrong way? Gossiped about. Sneezed during church? Gossiped about. Literally anything you do is talked about among the town residents. I was the talk of the town when I was in high school, everyone knew I was sneakin around with Arvin. No one liked it obviously, bein called every name in the book. I didn't care clearly, it didn't bother me or Arvin.Â
I groan and slowly get out of bed, stretching and looking out of my window. It's a beautiful sunny day in Knockemstiff, I never thought I would ever describe this run down town like that, it's quite beautiful here though. Open fields for miles, I could see why no one would want to leave. I mean in old age, you could just do anything with your land and live off it.Â
Getting up, I feel my feet hit the cold wood floor of my room. Everyday, I hope I don't get a splinter from the floor so I wear slippers throughout the house. I head to the bathroom to look at myself in the mirror. My hair is disheveled and almost out of the bun that I had it in the night before, my eyebrows are out of place and the bags underneath my eyes are prominent. I sigh and splash some cold water on my warm face. I grab my toothbrush and go for it, spitting out the toothpaste and flashing my teeth in the mirror to make sure I didn't miss a spot.Â
I heard my parents and brother moving around pretty quickly so I looked at the clock near my bed. It's 9:30 am, church starts in about 20 minutes and it takes 10 to get there. Quickly, I put my hair in a low bun, slapped on some powder and a plain lip color, a rose color to compliment my fair skin. Hopping around, I grab a plain flowy blue dress that goes up to about the middle of my thigh and a pair of white keds, quick and simple.Â
I step out of my room and grab my clutch so I have something to hold while in church, I usually can't keep my hands still. I shut the door behind me and head out to the living room to see everyone quickly eating some toast off their plates in the kitchen, I hop over and steal a piece of toast and bacon off Johns plate and then we are out the door.Â
Hopping in my dads truck, the ride there is quiet. We don't talk much in my family, only at dinner once and a while and sometimes when my father drinks. Which is only when he is done work on Fridays. I make sure I'm out of the house on fridays, he never stops talking when he is drinking. My parents and I have never been that close really, kind of an unspoken family thing. Mother stays quiet and does her motherly duties as us women are expected to do once we pop out a few puppies. I refuse to be like that.Â
The ride to church is scenic,open fields for miles and so many animals to look at. I enjoy the breeze coming through my hair but I just wish it was from me driving my car out somewhere I have never been. Like maybe California, it's probably beautiful. I have never been to a beach, as a matter of fact I've never been out of Knockemstiff before. I envy everyone who leaves this place and never comes back. As soon as I can get out of here, I will. I swear on everything I love.Â
The car stops and I get out, my feet hitting the dirt road below me. My keds are gonna need a cleaning after this. Stepping around the car, I separate from my family and hop around the back of the church to smoke a quick cig before I go through the church doors to act like I'm holy for 2 hours.Â
Stepping to the left side of the church, I put my clutch on a bush and grabbed a cigarette from the pack stuffed in my bag. Quickly I light it and suck on it as quickly as I possibly can to just get a moment to myself. Looking out into the distance, I always forget that the cemetery is this close to the church. Graves for as far as the eyes can see. That distracted me to the point where I forgot how quick I was smoking and ended up inhaling too much smoke at one time, leading me to cough quite loud. I throw the cigarette on the floor below my foot and crush it quickly.Â
I hear an oh so familiar voice in the distance as I finish my coughing fit.Â
â Ms. Lane, what a pleasure to see you on this fine sunday.â He says, walking towards me with his fingers hooked around the belt loops of his pants.
Same uniform everyday, never fails.
âSay, what are you doin here behind the church all by your lonesome? â Lee says as he stands next to me, I can smell the tobacco and mint on him the same as I did last night. I look over at Lee with an exhausted look on my face from the coughing fit I just had.
Lee looks down at the ground and a grin forms on his face, sneaky bastard never misses a beat.Â
âMs.Lane-â Lee begins to say and I stop him
âPlease, for the love of christ call me Maggy. I am not 16 anymore, Lee.â You say as you start to walk past him. He grabs your arm and stops you.Â
âMaggy Lane, just know I know about your little reputation.â Lee says as he still has you by the arm, kind of digging his nails into your soft skin as you try to pull away a bit.
âAs a matter of fact, I was there when you began your little shenanigans. Be careful of how you talk to your sheriff, little lady.â You look at him in disgust as he tries to intimidate you.Â
â Also, I told you those cigarettes was bad news, you're lucky I don't stop on over and talk to your pop about your little habit.â Lee says with a smirk on his face. You finally wiggle out of his grip, your arm dropping to your side with crescent shaped marks on your arm. You rub the spots where Lee's fingers were just digging into your upper arm.
Looking up at him, he tips his hat at you and starts to walk away. You spit on the ground near his feet and he turns around on his feet, quick.Â
â I hope you know you're a prick, Bodecker.â You spit out at him.Â
Immediately, you are backed up against the wood boards of the church, both of Lee's arms on either side of your head. Your heart is racing and your breath is hitching. You're frozen.Â
âListen to me, you little bitch.â Lee inches closer to your face, your noses almost touching. You turn your head to the side hoping that he won't really notice but he grabs your face and holds it so you are looking him directly in the eyes.
âYour little mouth will get you in trouble, especially with me.â Your breath hitches as he gets closer. Your heart could explode. You were terrified.Â
â Lee, church is starting. We better get in there before we miss anythingâ A voice in the distance yells.Â
 Instantly, Lee lets you go and strides back to the unknown voice.Â
You stand there with a shocked look on your face, as if you had just seen the devil up close. You were frozen in your current position but as soon as people started going in the building you sank to your feet and sat there for a minute breathing heavily. You fixed yourself up and stood outside the door of the old church, taking a deep breath before going in and finding your seat next to your family.Â
 Church dragged on and on, I felt like I was going to fall asleep. A screaming preacher, so many people in such a small space. Half way through, I got up to go to the bathroom and caught Lee staring at me and he gave me a small smirk. Creep.
Stepping into the bathroom, I look at my face in the mirror. It's still slightly red from where Lee had his disgusting hand around my chin. I pushed on the spot and it felt like it was going to bruise.Â
â Fuckâ I whispered to myself as I turned my head side to side to look at the red around my lips and on my chin. This is for sure going to bruise.Â
I splash some water on my face to refresh myself and then I step out of the bathroom to bump into something in front of me.Â
âShit, I am so sorryâ You say as you back up into the oak door and look at the person in front of you.Â
â Oh, no worries hun.â the woman in front of you says.Â
You look at her quickly as you step aside, sticking out your hand and you say âI don't think I have met you before, Iâm Maggy Lane.âÂ
She sticks out her hand and shakes yours firmly, she is a very pretty woman with short brown curly hair.Â
Thin and very well put together, can't be more than 25 years old.Â
â Itâs very nice to meet you sweetheart, Iâm Ruth Har- I mean Bodecker.â She says smiling as she pulls her hand back from the handshake and puts it back on her clutch bag.Â
âYou the sheriff's wife?â you say as you cock your head to the side questioningly.Â
âYes, I am.â she smiles, â We've been married now for about a year, a very fine man he is.â She says as she steps aside to talk to you for a minute before she steps into the bathroom.
You were shocked, Lee actually was married? He was such an asshole, you didn't think anyone would want him. As you had said the previous night, you would tell his wife if he had called you another pet name but she looks so sweet. He doesn't deserve her. You had just said that assumin he even had a woman at home.Â
â Thats nice, say you ain't from around here, are ya?â You say in a little southern drawl, she aint from these parts. You can tell by the way she says certain words.Â
â No darlin, i'm from Tennessee.â she smiled âMet Lee out there while I was workin in a bar.â she blushed a bit.
â Huh, well look at that.â you say as you cross your arms and lean against the doorframe of the bathroom. â Lee does get out of town then.â
She chuckles and you look at the time, church is going to be over soon.
â Well, it was very nice meeting you, Mrs.Bodecker.â You say as you turn your back and start walking towards the stairs to go back to the chapel area.Â
â You too, darlin.â She says waving at you.Â
â See you aroundâ You say as you head back up the stairs.Â

GOT7 Mafia AU: Their S/O Getting Insulted
Genre: mafia au!, angst.
Warning: swearing, violence, mentions of blood.
---
Jaebum:
Theyâve been in the meeting room for hours, planning their next mission. Everything needed to be executed perfectly and knowing your boyfriend; no one was getting out of that room until they memorised every detail of the plan.
You knocked on the door and opened it.
âI bare gifts!â You said motioning to the bags of snack you carried in your hands.
A small smile appeared on Jaebumâs face. You placed the bags on the table and made your way to your boyfriend.
He hugged you, hiding his face in your neck. âThank you,â he whispered, âwe needed a little break!â
âWelcome Jae!â You whispered back
âYo boss,â screamed one of the new recruits, âwhere did you get a bitch like that? These snacks are dope!â
Every head turned to him, the atmosphere in the room dropped and Jaebum let go of you. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and narrowed his eyes at his new recruit.
âIâm sorry, what did you just call my girlfriend?â Barked Jaebum
The recruit turned white realizing his mistake.
âHe called her a bitch Jae!â Answered BamBam.
âYeah, thatâs what I thought.â Your boyfriend turned towards two of his closest crewmembers. âJackson, Mark I believe you know what to do!â
The two men nodded. Jackson grabbed the recruit by the collar dragging him out of the room as he pleaded mercy.
Mark:
He threw one knife after the other. He didnât understand why Jaebum wanted him to learn how, but he had to follow orders. Heâd been in the practice room for what felt hours. Heâd only hit his target once every 20 knifes thrown and even then, he didnât hit exactly where he wanted. He was getting frustrated.
A group of recruits entered the room, never seeing him due to the fact that he was at the far end. They were loud, he hated that, but it made his job easier. He could eavesdrop on them without paying attention.
âVictoriaâs Secret angels are the hottest women on this planet hands down!â
âI agree!â
âNah bro.â
âAlright then, who do you think is hot?â
âHonestly, Markâs girl is pretty tight.â
Markâs head snapped towards the recruit as he continued.
âSheâs sexy as hell and Iâm sure she can take it. If you know what I mean!â
Markâs grip on the knife in his hand tightened; his knuckles turning white. He didnât even think as he aimed and threw the knife hitting the recruit in the shoulder. Exactly where he wanted.
The recruit screamed in pain as his friends looked in the direction of where the knife was thrown.
Mark got out of the shadows. âNext time, Iâll aim for your head. Now, go tell Youngjae how you got injured.â
Jackson:
âWhere the hell is Yugyeom?â He wondered out loud.
Jaebum just assigned him a new mission and he needed the youngest to be his getaway driver. He looked everywhere but he couldnât find Yugyeom anywhere. He decided to go to the headquartersâ recruitsâ training center. Maybe Yugyeom was teaching something to the recruits.
âYo,â he heard somebody say on the other side of the door, âJacksonâs girl is so fine. Iâd do her anytime any day, if you know what I mean!â
He recognized that voice immediately. It was that stupid new recruit who thought he was better than everybody else.
Jackson didnât waste anytime after hearing that comment. He threw the door opened and spotted the recruit. He marched towards him and grabbed him, with one hand, by the neck only to slam him in a wall.
âWhat the fuck did you just say?â Spat Jackson
The recruit couldnât answer; Jackson was, after all, strangling him. The recruit was turning red. He grabbed Jacksonâs arm but Jacksonâs grip only tightened.
âJackson let him go.â Said Jinyoung who was only in the room because he heard the commotion.
Jackson leaned towards the recruitâs ear. âIâm going to make your life a living hell.â He whispered before dropping the recruit on the ground.
Jinyoung:
âSo, apparently, my wife looks like a nice fuck toy.â Said Jinyoung sitting in his chair behind his desk.
âNo, no, no thatâs not what I meant!â Panicked the recruit on the other side of the desk.
Jinyoung raised his hand stopping him. âNo need to explain yourself buddy. Mark heard everything. And not to be that guy, but I trust Mark way more than I trust your dumbass.â
The recruitâs head dropped.
âHereâs whatâs going to happened.â Started Jinyoung. âYou and I are going to take a trip to the station and Iâm going to put you behind the bars.â
âWhat for? I didnât do anything!â
Jinyoung raised a file in the air. âThatâs not what this file says. It says that you were spotted selling drugs and weapons on the streets. What an amateur! Not only do I have evidence that you did, I, also, have witnesses.â
âBut I never did!â Screamed the recruit.
Jinyoung got up and grabbed the recruit pulling him up. He put the recruitâs hands behind his back and handcuffed them.
âBetween you and me, who do you think theyâre going to believe pal? The sergeant of the organized crime division or some random crook whoâs already been arrested once for drug possession?â
A silence felt the room.
Jinyoung leaned towards the recruit. âCheck mate bitch.â
Youngjae:
He was removing a bullet in a recruitâs leg. You were by his side, helping him. He needed the extra set of hands when it came to those situations; the last time he needed someone he asked Jackson, but he almost fainted.
âCould you pass me the stitching needle love?â Asked Youngjae
You grabbed it and handed it to him.
âIt must be nice to have her around here Laughter!â Said the recruit
âWhat do you mean?â Replied your boyfriend
âWell, she does whatever you say and doesnât say a word. Sheâs like your slave, your own little bitch.â
You mouth hanged open; you couldnât believe the audacity of that guy.
Youngjae stopped what he was doing. He looked at the recruit for a good minute before he stuck his index finger in his wound. The recruit screamed in agony.
âListen to me you fucktard,â spat Youngjae, âIf I catch you calling my girl a bitch one more time, Iâll make sure you end up dying in pure agony. I might even let you bleed on the floor for all I care about. Am I clear?â
The recruit nodded biting his lip.
âGood, now leave. I donât even want to stitch you up anymore!â
BamBam:
He was used to it really. He should probably stop feeling like this every time it happened. It should roll off his back, but he just couldnât. You were his girl. He thought that was obvious when you entered the club with him.
He watched you, politely turn down another random dude, from the second floor of the club. He rolled his eyes, but when he stared back at you. The situation was worrying. The guy was being very aggressive towards you, grabbing your arm and trying to pull you in his direction.
BamBam ran down the stairs, almost breaking his leg in the process. This was not happening, especially not under his watch.
âIâm sorry,â he breathed out when he was finally next to you, âIâm pretty sure she doesnât want to go with you buddy.â
BamBam placed his hand on your back reassuring you.
âMind your own fucking business skinny and let my girl and I settle this!â Barked the guy
BamBam made a disapproving sound. âOh man, you just said something that was super incorrect!â
In choc, the guy let go of your arm. BamBam slowly raised your left hand in front of the guy and did the same with his. âSee dumbass, we have matching rings. Sheâs my wife. And this,â he raised his hands in the air, âis my club.â
Your husband looked at two of his bodyguards and with one look they understood. They dragged the guy outside, this guy wasnât leaving without a few bruises.Â
Yugyeom:
He loved to bring you to his races; you brought him some peace on those hectic nights.
He held your hand tightly; he didnât want to lose you in the crowd, as you two walked to where his car was parked.
âI just want to check something real quick baby.â He said unlocking the car. âThen weâll go see the other races.â
âAlright.â You replied.
He opened the driverâs door and sat in the seat. He wanted to make sure that their mechanic team did what he asked. He could not afford to lose because some idiot didnât do their job.
As he was checking his dashboard, he heard someone talk to you.
âHey pretty ass, what is a beautiful girl like you doing here?â
âEw,â Yugyeom heard you reply. A small smile appeared on his lips, he loved how straight forward you were, âleave asshole. I donât want anything to do with you!â
Every thing seemed fine in his dashboard, so he popped the hood of the car to go check if everything was fine there too.
âListen up you bitch!â The stranger barked. âYouâre not going to tell me what to do or Iâll have my guys take care of you!â
That struck a cord in Yugyeom. Who was this guy threatening you with no actual reason? He grabbed his gun from the inside of his jacket and got out of the car.
He pointed his gun at the stranger. âSay that again fucker!â
You slammed your hand on Yugyeomâs chest. âIâll take care of itâ
He looked at you questionably.
âAlright sweetheart!â You yelled. âBring your guys, Iâm so scared of them Iâm shaking in my pants. Anyway what doâŚâ
As Yugyeom watched you tell the guy off, he lowered his gun and smiled. He couldnât believe he was in love with a badass.

âAncientâ wlw ships
This is such a self-indulgent post but I need to get my thoughts out. Lately Iâve been thinking a lot about all the girls I shipped in fiction when I was a kid and didnât realize I was shipping them.
I mean, they pretty much all had boyfriends or ended up marrying a man, and I was pretty much on board, in my eyes it was just some part of the story that needed to happen, because it always did. I think the common thing with these characters was that the female best friend was, at least more often than not, narratively more important than the guy, or just seemed to have a much greater emotional impact in the story.
Thinking about this has been so fun and eye-opening that I just feel like sharing a list of my biggest ancient wlw pairs that I only now, years later, realize were totally in love in my mind, I just didnât have a concept for it yet. Iâm sure thatâs relatable for some people, but maybe thereâs someone out there who was shipping these same characters??
This will include mild spoilers. And itâll be long.
1. Cornelia & Elyon from W.i.t.c.h.
I COMPLETELY lived in these comics when I was 8-12 years old, and nothing in it was as compelling to me as Cornelia and Elyon. Guess I was already a sucker for best-friends-to-enemies-to-friends-again, even though I didnât realize I also wanted them to become lovers. Best friends was all there was to me back then, that was the name I assigned to the highest form of love in my head. Which I still donât see as invalid? I just didnât realize I wouldâve related to the romance aspect between best friends a hell of a lot more than I did to any of the relationships the W.i.t.c.h. girls had with their boyfriends. Cornelia and Caled was almost as bad as Buffy and Angel! Cornelia and Peter was just boring af. All the other W.i.t.c.h. girlsâ boyfriends were all equally boring to me except for Will and Matt, but that was because their struggle to admit their feelings for each other was written in a funny way, not because their relationship had any actual depth.
But Elyon and Cornelia wouldâve been perfect! I mean if your best friend has the ability to understand you so well, that with her magical intuition, she can draw you a picture of a guy youâre going to fall for, a guy she has never met... why would you even want to be with that guy anymore? Why wouldnât you just be with her instead?? What Cornelia and Caleb had was limerence (I actually applaud the comics for eventually treating it as such and showing how it was harmful to both of the characters!) but what Cornelia and Elyon had was true love that transcends dimensions. Cornelia never gave up on Elyon, not even for a moment, after she became the W.i.t.c.h. girlsâ enemy, and when she was in trouble, Cornelia had a hunch from another dimension, and she didnât hesitate to come to her rescue. (The fact that during the same mission she also manages to fall for the dude Elyon drew for her in the past seems more like an accident, to be honest. The real deal was patching things up with Elyon, it was both more emotionally impactful AND more plot-relevant!)
It was also really sad to read the comics sometimes, because Elyon was absolutely my favourite character, and she wasnât around much after the first arc, being a queen in another dimension. But every time there was a flashback to when Elyon was still living on Earth and being cute with Cornelia I was like MOOOOORE.
2. Sora and Layla from Kaleido Star
If you havenât watched this anime youâve missed. SO. MUCH. This is probably my favourite anime ever. And it features another type of ship I LOVE. Which is partners in some sort of activity, usually sports. When itâs written well itâs just so impactful and intense. These girls are routinely risking their lives in their passion for acrobatics, so they need to have absolute trust in each other. And oh boy is the relationship between them written well. I love it when two characters initially donât get the way the other thinks or sees the world, but as they grow closer, itâs the otherâs way of thinking that really unlocks something huge for them.
Also whatâs so compelling about Sora and Layla is that there really isnât anything like them in any other anime, that Iâve come across, at least. These partnerships are always between two guys in a sports anime, the partnership is at the heart of the story and the emotional stakes are so high itâs no wonder most people donât want to ship these guys with their intended female love interests. Kaleido Star takes this even further because the guy who is in love with Sora is literally a joke, or the fact that heâs in love with Sora is a running gag, and nothing more. All the focus is on Sora and Layla as partners, and how they change each other's lives for the better.
Also the way Sora pines for Layla when sheâs away or not paying enough attention to her is SO... I mean you donât even have to think itâs romantic for it to absolutely melt you. Although it feels pretty heavily romantically coded, and it doesnât even feel like queer baiting, because itâs just SO real and honest. And how Layla canât stop thinking about how Sora is changing her as a person. Thereâs no question about the fact that the relationship between these women is the true meat of the show.
3. Anne and Diana from Anne of Green Gables
I read these books over and over again as a kid, and the Netflix show renewed my love for these two. They are kind of ridiculous, but SO cute. Looking back, it seems obvious that they had a crush on each other, they were just SO giddy all the time they were alone. Sure, you can excuse all their romantic gestures (like changing locks of hair, and vowing to never leave each other with joined hands and grand words) with saying Anne just romanticizes everything, but it never really felt like just that to me.
Iâll never forget how devastated Anne was about Diana getting married, and I donât remember the wording but initially she wished she could keep Diana to herself for their whole lives. And every time they talked about marriage it was something they were both gonna do not as individuals, but rather the emphasis seemed to be on the shared experience, and how their children would be best friends and all that. It was all about them together. Like their romantic fantasies were nothing without the other somehow in the picture.
I donât hate Anne and Gilbert but I donât love them either. Gilbert has always been just sort of âmehâ. Heâs okay, but also the kind of love interest that can never compel me much.
4. Chocolat and Vanilla from Sugar Sugar Rune
Seriously, this would have been SO GOOD if it was canon.
Think about it, best friends, chosen to compete against each other for the throne. These witches go to the human world to attract male attention and collect feelings from the men, turning the feelings into heart shaped crystals and whoever collects more will be the queen. I mean... the story was good as it is but if they had ended up together and been queens TOGETHER?? That would have been the best story. It could have had SUCH a compelling best-friends-to-competitors-to-enemies-to-friends-to-lovers storyline! There would have been room for so much character development.
And if my memory doesnât betray me the story would not change much at all if they didnât end up with the guys they do end up with! Especially Vanillaâs guy is like an afterthought and Chocolatâs guy is... well, a sum of my least favourite tropes, including the one that will remind everyone about Mortal Instruments a LITTLE too much, so he can get lost for all I care.
I cried many times while reading this, and it always had something to do with these two girls.
5. Yoko and Liao from Yoko Tsuno
Okay, these two might have a problematic age gap, Iâm not sure, but I didnât know of that possibility as a kid, they just looked the same age to me. I was a huge Yoko Tsuno fan as a pre-teen, and there were so many interesting female adventurers in this series but for some reason the dynamic between Yoko and Liao was my favourite, even though Liao only appeared in one album. I just really felt like I needed to see more of these characters interacting and where their relationship would develop.
There was something about them that seemed rather original to me then, and a nice change. The reader had already gotten used to Yoko as the hero, she was always saving the day everywhere, she was like The Doctor in a way and not only because she time-travelled. She is simply badass. In Liaoâs story thereâs a prophecy about a girl who speaks to a dragon and saves everyone, and Yoko thinks that girl is her because sheâs from the future and knows the dragon is a machine, but it turns out to be Liao, and that was somehow really satisfying. Yoko treats Liao obnoxiously in the beginning, doesnât give her much credit, but is deeply humbled after Liao needs to save her ass multiple times because sheâs just too sure of herself. It was cool to see how Yoko really needed to grow in this story and realize her limitations, and how wrong she was to treat Liao the way she did and look down on her just because Liao was physically weak, had a temper, and came from a much earlier time period than Yoko.
By the end they are clearly very attached to each other (Liao weeping in Yokoâs arms and Yoko confessing how full of herself she was when they met) and respect each other, and I just really wouldâve liked to see where they would go from there. I thought about them meeting again A LOT when I was a kid.
Thatâs my big five! :D I could go on but this is already long, I need to sleep, and these are the characters that Iâve been thinking about the most lately. If you read this far for some reason it would be cool to hear if you have any similar (or different) experiences.

Whoâs in Charge Pt2 || Maze Runner X Reader
Summary: Y/N does her best to make Teresa feel welcome in a glade full of boys, but one particular greenie ruins her plans and makes her question her insanity.Â
Word Count: 2.4k
Authorâs note: This is somewhat a continuation off of Whoâs in charge and If i continue this mini series, I really want to explore the idea of being a girl in a leadership role. Not only that but the somewhat glamorization of how awesome it would be to be the only girl in a glade cause unless they all look like Minho, that would be TERRIFYING. I love attention but goddamn Y/N in any fanfic fandom is an attention WHORE!Â
Warning: LOTS OF CUSSING, incel type shit ew, blood and wounds Â
Part one || Part twoÂ
A lot has changed in the glade in the past couple of months and as the first in command, it didnât make your job any easier. After the greenie that disrespected you, the glade got two more people, a boy named Thomas and to your surprise, another girl. Her name was Teresa and although the two of you werenât close, it was nice to have someone you felt like you could automatically trust.
The greenie you didnât like very much was named Theodore and while everyone else called him Teddy, you always just called him greenie because he still acted like an immature shank. You havenât had any interactions with him since but word from the other guys was that he would not stop gawking at Teresa.
â Has anyone seen Teddy? Fry said he hasnât been back since lunch,â Newt asked as you continued to write down the medical inventory to help out Jeff.
â Yeah I saw him go down to the huts about 10 minutes ago. He looked like he was in a hurry,â Jeff said as he pointed over towards the window with his pencil.
This wasnât the first time Teddy had flaked on his duties but after your altercation with him, Newt was usually the one to reprimand him.
You rolled your eyes as you looked down at your clipboard,â Iâll go find him. I have to stop by Teresaâs room anyway since sheâs gonna help me rebuild the fence with John and Gavin.â
Newt leaned against the doorway and picked up a small bandage to wrap his finger with,â Howâs she liking the glade so far?â
â I mean, as much as she can like it. I think sheâs after Thomas yeah?â You said, raising your eyebrows at him, as you walked out the door with Newt following close behind,â I swear those lovebirds are hiding something. Something tells me that it isnât all just love at first sight.â
â Well youâre never wrong so Iâll keep an eye out,â Newt laughed softly as the two of you parted ways.
You continued to walk across the Glade at a normal pace, not so much enjoying the glade itself but the quietness of today. You knew Minho and Thomas were gonna be back any minute and those two were always responsible for the rambunctious crowd of boys every night so you savored the trip.
Given that Teresa was a bit nervous with all of the boys around, you gave up your hut so that way she would have some privacy. Although Teresa seemed to be really familiar with Thomas, you knew that sleeping outside surrounded by boys wasnât the safest feeling. You did miss how your hut was tucked a bit away from everyone else and that the big tree near your window gave you cool shade during the harsh sun. But it was just for the time being, whenever that was.
You knocked on the door and heard Teresaâs voice on the other side,â One second! Iâm changing!â
You gave a quick response and waited outside her door, tapping your fingers against your clipboard in an unknown beat. Once you stopped tapping, you heard something rustle in the leaves on the other side of the hut that was covered by a small part of the forest. You scrunched your eyebrows together as you walked over, thinking that maybe it was just another rabbit.
When you turned the corner, you saw Teddy watching through the corner of Teresaâs window. You looked through the window to find Teresa already stripping off her top which made Teddy hold his breath.
Without thinking, you stomped over and grabbed the back of Teddyâs shirt before dragging him away from the window. I knew I shouldâve listened to Alby to make those stupid ugly curtains. Teddy let out a loud yelp as you dragged him farther away and closer to the center of the glade where some of the boys were building another shelter.
â You stupid fucking pervert!â You shouted as you practically launched him onto the dirt,â youâre disgusting! After everything, this place has done for you and you think you can spy on women like some kind of ...stalker!â
You were well past mad, you had never felt anything like this before. Your whole body felt like it was building up with pure steam, almost ready to explode like hot dynamite. You were nothing short but disgusted, out of your whole time living in the glade, none of the boys had ever done something so terrible.
â R-Relax! I wasnât even doing anything wrong-â
You didnât know what came over you, maybe it was because you hadnât slept all day or because you hadnât gotten mad in so long so you were practically itching to get into a fight. Â You felt your legs pump more blood than ever and in an instant, you pounced on him and started slamming your fists into his face without mercy.
You felt like a well-oiled machine, every time you smashed your fist against his body, you felt your other arm recoil and do the same thing over and over again. You couldnât even pay attention to anything that was happening around you, all you could do was throw punches. With every punch, you still managed to yell through your gritted teeth,â Ungrateful! Little! Pig!â
Even with his limp, Newt was the fastest to make it over to where you were and tried to rip you away from Teddy, yelling at you to stop. Gally, who was nearby building the shelter, practically picked you up off of Teddy but you still struggled against him.
â Y/N! You need to calm down-â
â I am tired of people telling me that to calm down! I am calm!â You shouted as you breathed heavy against Gally, who was using all of his strength to hold you back,â heâs a disgusting pig!â
â What the hell is going on?â you craned your neck to see Thomas and Minho jogging over to where everyone seemed to circle. You laughed out loud, knowing that once Minho found out what Teddy had done, he would be toast.
Gally let you go and dropped you to the floor not so gently,â Thereâs been a slight problem. Y/N and Teddy-â
â Slight problem?â You exclaimed as Minho came to your side, helping you up all while looking at your bloody and bruised knuckles,â Teddy was watching Teresa through her window while she was changing. That isn���t a slight problem Gally! How would you like it if he peeked through your window!â
While some boys laughed at your comment, Minho and Thomasâs head snapped towards Teddy, who was still lying on the ground but sat up on his elbows. His nose was bleeding and by the looks of it, you were sure you gave him two black eyes.
â Sheâs lying! She just started attacking me out of nowhere cause sheâs fucking crazy!â Teddy spat out blood as you tried to lunge at him again but Thomas pulled you back.
â What did you just say?â Minho said through gritted teeth as he started walking towards Teddy but Newt and Gally both stepped in between Minho,â say that again, I dare you.â
â Everyone just stop!â Newt snapped as he turned to look up at Minho,â take Y/N somewhere to cool off while Thomas and I will take Teddy to Clint. Donât do anything stupid.â
Minho nodded all while keeping his eyes locked on Teddyâs bloody face. Minho was stubborn and as much as he wanted to bash Teddyâs head in, he knew when it was right to follow the chain of command. You shook Thomasâs grip off of your shoulders as your eyes caught Teresaâs, her face flushed in embarrassment.
Before you could muster out a word, Teresa took off back towards your hut, pushing past a group of gladers who were crowding around. You took one sweeping glare towards all the loitering gladerâs which made them all spread out back to their posts.
â Let me patch you up back real quick. You look badass but your knuckles look gross,â Minho hesitated as he attempted to ease the tension in the air and his own blood pressure.
You looked between Minho and where you last saw Teresa, wondering where she could be. You couldnât imagine how terrified she must have been, especially since she probably saw you beat the hell out of Teddy like there was no tomorrow.
â Just give me a few minutes, Iâm going to go find Teresa,â You said as you rubbed your fingers over your battered fists,â I think she just needs someone to talk to after all of that.â
You and Minho said your goodbyes and before you knew it, you found Teresa on the edge of the deadheads picking at the grass laid before her. You awkwardly sat down next to her and from the looks of it, she had just finished crying.
â I want to say sorry for what you might have seen. The last thing I wanted to do was scare you or to make you think Iâm such a violent person,â You apologized as you watched her expression carefully,â but Iâm even more sorry that your privacy was invaded on. I promise you, I will do everything in my power to fix this.â
Instead of giving a sad look, Teresa smiled and let out a dry laugh,â No offense, but there isnât anything you can do to fix this. Itâs literally in their DNA to be so stupid.â
You were completely taken aback. Yes, nothing could ever take back what happened to Teresa but she couldnât be talking about all of the guys in the glade, could she?
â I donât think thatâs true and neither do you. Teddy is a sexist pervert for sure but plenty of the gladerâs are nice guys. One bad seed doesnât make the whole tree go rotten,â You said thoughtfully, not wanting to undermine Teresaâs experience.
Teresa turned to you and thought for a moment,â So when you first came up in the box, you werenât terrified of being the only girl?â Â
â Well, I was just terrified because I was alone for the longest time until Newt came up,â You admitted but then you really tried to give your honest opinion,â but yeah, I guess I felt different when more boys would get sent up. Itâs not that I was scared at first but I just didnât know what to expect with all those...hormones.â
You realized that you had never said that out loud before; revealing your feelings for being the only girl in the glade before Teresa and once you actually said it, you felt something wash over you. You werenât sure if it was sadness or guilt or shame, but you didnât feel good about your emotions right then and there.
Teresa noticed this too and didnât say anything else, allowing you to speak more.
You cleared your throat, not even thinking of the right words to say because all you wanted to do was spill everything you had bottled up for years,â The more boys the box sent up, the more stares I would get, even if I was just bending over to pick something up. It felt gross knowing that they were eyeing me up and down like I was just some piece of meat but all of a sudden when it came to me being in a leadership position, they all acted as if I suddenly didnât matter.â
âI completely understand how you feel. Itâs like a cruel joke; they want you around to help engage their sexual fantasies but once you make an executive decision, youâre not fun to be around,â Teresa said, thinking about her past memories of being one of the few female researchers at WCKD,â are they still like that with you now?â
â I hardly catch any eyes thanks to Minho being as protective as he is but I wonder if heâs just doing that out of the kindness of his heart or because he is trying to get in my pants,â you laughed honestly, knowing that in your heart he was genuinely a sweet guy,â but I donât know. I can tell sometimes they donât take me seriously. Remember that last meeting we had and when I gave my proposal, no one really cared but when Newt said it two minutes later, everyone thought he was a genius. I donât think they mean to do it but it still hurts.â
That was something you were always insecure about; not being taken seriously. You were reminded of that every month when a new glader would show up and they assumed you werenât the first in command. How was it that you all had no past memories yet in the glade, they already had some form of prejudice against you? You didnât understand that in a world filled with hardly any societal norms that you were still treated unfairly.
â But I love everyone here with the exception of a few. At the end of the day, weâre pretty much family. As much as Minho annoys me or how much Newt pesters me, theyâre the greatest friends in the world,â You said as you thought back to all of the times they had your back,â but shuck I wish I had a day of peace without the boys tearing down the glade. I just want to get out of this goddamn place already.â
Teresa nodded sympathetically, but knowing that she was one of the reasons you were here trapped, she said nothing.
After a moment of silence, Teresa wanted to clear her head of WCKDâs old thoughts,â What are you going to do about Teddy?â
After this whole discussion, you had completely forgotten why you had come over in the first place.
â Honestly, I donât know yet. Weâll keep him in the slammer until we figure something out. Whatever it is though, I know it wonât be enough for how you were violated. I really am sorry that happened to you Teresa, is there anything I can do to make you feel better?â You asked as Teresa smiled and gave your hand a small squeeze.
â Iâm just glad I have someone to talk to.â
You nodded as you sat there, not being able to hold in your smile.
Me too.

Lambert SFW Alphabet
A/N: Hi guys! This week has been so long and so terrible and I just wanna curl up and be cuddled by one of the boys :( I know you guys have waited a while for this but I hope you like it! Here is the link to my masterlist!
Affection (how affectionate are they, how do they show affection)Â
Lambert has funny ways of showing affection. He acts gruff and hard on the outside, muttering snide comments and doing his best to piss everyone off out of spite. It isn't until you're alone that he's soft and actually nice to you â but not too nice. Lambert doesn't do too nice.Â
Best friend (what would they be like as a best friend, how would the friendship begin)
Thereâs always joking and pranks and playful banter. There is never a dull moment with Lambert. He trusts you with his life and trusts you to always keep whatever you talk about together a secret. He doesnât open up often, but when he does, thereâs a silent promise made between you both that neither of you would speak of what was said to anyone else.Â
Cuddles (do they like to cuddle, how would they cuddle)
Lambert doesn't like to cuddle. Heâs not a very touchy person. He likes his space and dislikes anyone in his space. However, there are exceptions to this. If heâs feeling down or if heâs been in his head too much, heâll climb into bed and bury his face in your chest. Or if he sees that youâre having a particularly bad day, heâll come up behind you and wrap his arms around you. He tucks his nose into your neck and lets out a heavy breath. You melt back into him, holding his hands that meet at your lower abdomen.Â
Domestic (do they want to settle down, how good are they at cooking and cleaning)
In the very, very back of his head, the idea of settling down and having a somewhat normal life sounds pleasant. However, Lambert knows realistically that that could never happen so he doesnât dwell on it. He likes traveling. Itâs the only good thing that came out of being a witcher. He can cook surprisingly well, but only a handful of recipes Vesemir taught him. If heâs asked to cook anything else or tries to cook anything else, the food comes out inedible and he nearly burns the house down. Cleaning is hardwired into his mechanics. The elders at Kaer Morhen were strict, adamant that the boys keep their rooms clean. Lambert struggled with this at first. He was defiant. But with Vesemirâs firm but gentle guidance, he learned to pick up after himself. For the most part. Sometimes heâll leave a mess if he wants to let someone know theyâve plucked his last nerve and heâs irritated with them.Â
Ending (if they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it)
Heâd be very blunt, already shutting down and pushing you away. He needed to get it over quick so the pain didnât linger too long. He would try his best to be gentle, but he doesnât really know how so it comes out harsh and cold.Â
Fiance(e) (how do they feel about commitment, how quick are they to want to get married)
Commitment makes Lambert queasy. He doesnât like the idea of becoming so vulnerable. But perhaps after a lengthy time in a relationship, heâd start to welcome the idea of marriage. As long as he has you, he feels that he needs marriage just so confirm that you are his only. He already knows he loves you. Thatâs enough for him.Â
Gentle (how gentle are they both physically and emotionally)
Lambert can sometimes forget how strong he is, so heâs not the most gentle person ever. But he never ever hurts you. He never lays a hand on you. His father was a piece of shit who beat his mother and there was no way he was going to do that to you. Heâd sooner feed himself to a basilisk than raise a hand in your direction. Emotionally, Lambert is strong, or at least he likes to pretend that he is. He puts on a good front, forcing his shitty âI donât care about anyoneâ attitude to the surface until the weight on his shoulders becomes too much and he snaps.Â
Hugs (do they like hugs, how often do they do it, what are their hugs like)
Lambert likes to give hugs and he likes to receive them from you, but only when no one else is around because that would ruin his badass image. His hugs are always warm and firm. He wraps his arms as tight as possible around you and buries his face in your hair. Or when you hug him, he likes to bury his face in your chest and hold you close.Â
I Love You (how fast do they say it)
It literally takes him ages to get it out. It happens one night when the two of you are having an argument over whether you should take a trip to visit your family or not. The trip was days away and Lambert insisted that you not go. He didnât want to go with you either for âprotectionâ or whatever. But you missed your family and really wanted to see them so you insisted. This led to an explosive argument where you were yelling at him for not trusting you to take care of yourself and he yelled back saying that there were things out there that you couldnât protect yourself from. You were so frustrated with him and you were exhausted and just wanted the fight to be over. You told him you were leaving and when you returned home, you wanted him out. As you were moving for the door, he blurted the words out, stopping you in your tracks. He explained that he loved you and the thought of you traveling alone so far away made him sick, but he also wasnât ready to meet your parents. So you both came to the agreement that heâd travel with you but not meet your parents. He doesnât say it often but when he does, you smile and say it back. He needed the reassurance.Â
Jealous (how jealous do they get, what do they do when they are jealous)
Lambert can get jealous sometimes but heâs more possessive so he doesnât like seeing you talk to other guys or women. Itâs not that he doesnât trust you. He doesnât trust the other person to respect your boundaries. Heâs seen a lot and he knows how cruel people can get so he does his best to protect you from anything that could harm you - even a poor man who tried to flirt with you at the bar. He received a witcher death glare until he left you alone.Â
Kisses (what are their kisses like, where do they like to kiss, where do they like to be kissed)
He loves to kiss your lips. But when heâs feeling troublesome, heâll kiss along your jaw and completely bypass your lips, being a tease and tormenting you. Heâll kiss down your neck and across your chest, wanting you to beg him to kiss your lips. You smack the back of his head and he chuckles, lifting his head to finally kiss your lips.Â
Little Ones (how are they around kids)
Lambert is surprisingly well with kids. Heâs essentially an overgrown seven year old so he gets on with kids rather well. He just doesnât like when they start crying.Â
Mornings (how are mornings spent with them)
He hates to wake up, especially when he sleeps well. Heâll groan when you try to shake him awake, rolling over in the bed until heâs laying on top of you with his face in your neck. Heâll mutter a good morning and then go back to sleep, content with crushing you half to death.
Nights (how are nights spent with them)
Nights are usually quiet. Heâs naturally very energetic so he goes out and has fun at the tavern, picking fights or chatting with his brothers. When he gets back home, you are already in bed almost asleep. He climbs into the bed and gives you a kiss on the head. You ask him how his night was and he answers while you inch closer to him. He welcomes you with an open arm, pulling you into his side so he can hold you close.Â
Open (when would they start revealing things about themselves, do they say everything at once or do they wait a while and reveal everything slowly)Â
Lambert doesnât like sharing his story. He doesnât want pity from anyone. He keeps it to himself until one night you bring up your parents and then ask about his. From there, you learn of his father, of how he was forced into the witcher lifestyle. Then he tells you of some of the monsters heâs faced and the people heâs come across.
Patience (how easily angered are they)
Lambert has no patience. Heâs so easily angered and frustrated by almost anything. Sometimes all it takes is someone looking at him the wrong way and he loses it.Â
Quizzes (how much do they remember about you, do they remember every little detail you mentioned in passing, or do they kind of forget)Â
Lambert doesnât remember everything, but he remembers whatâs important. He doesnât remember the date that you two officially started your relationship, but he remembers the way your eyes sparkled in the moonlight the first night the both of you were intimate, and the smile on your lips warmed his chest.Â
Remember (what is their favorite moment in your relationship)
His favorite moment has to be the time you played tag in the middle of a thunderstorm in the valley beneath Kaer Morhen. Youâd been out for a walk when dark clouds rolled in, stealing the sunshine and warmth and replacing them with clapping thunder and chilling rain. You started the game, sneaking a glance to Lambert out of the corner of your eye before tapping his shoulder and shouting âtag!â then darting off through the trees. It took the witcher a moment to realize what you had just done. He chuckled, and began his pursuit. The chase lasted all of three minutes. He went easy on you at first, but then he came up behind you and wrapped his arms around you, hugging you tightly. He kissed your cheek and held you close for a moment, listening to the way your heart raced and the giggles that tumbled from your lips. You whispered âI love youâ to him, turning in his arms and leaning up on your toes to kiss his lips. He kissed you back, but then turned and ran away. It was your turn to chase him.
Security (how protective are they, how would they protect you, how would they like to be protected)
Lambert is very protective of you, but he lets you have your space. Heâs not constantly breathing down your neck and watching everyone around you. He knows you can handle yourself so he tries to not intervene unless he feels it is necessary. However, he does like to fight so he uses âyour honorâ as an excuse to pummel whoever thought messing with you was a good idea.Â
Try (how much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks)
Even though he is a dickhead sometimes, Lambert tries his hardest on your little dates. Heâd take you picnicking near the lake at Kaer Morhen or wake you up at the ass crack of dawn to go watch the sun rise over the mountains. He isnât great with gifts thought, so he tries to stick to thinking of cute little date ideas instead.Â
Ugly (what would be some bad habits of theirs)
He likes to start fights. This man loves to argue and piss people off. Heâll do it at Kaer Morhen when things get boring and he needs a little excitement. Heâs learned to pick fights with Geralt. Eskel is good at ignoring him but Geralt doesnât have such a good temper. Hell, Lambert even likes to start fights with you sometimes just to get you going. Heâs an asshole like that but you love him.Â
Vanity (how concerned are they with their looks)
Heâs not too concerned with how he looks. He knows heâs ruggedly good looking and thatâs enough for him.Â
Whole (would they feel incomplete without you)
When you arenât around, he feels like something is missing, like something isnât right. You bring such a calm energy to him that when you arenât around, heâs grouchy and crotchety.Â
Xtra (random headcanon)
Lambert absolutely loves rainy days. He loves to listen to the droplets come down on the rooftop and the way the clouds make outside dim. He enjoys having lazy and comfortable days with you when it rains, cuddling with you in front of the fire and listening to you read to him.Â
Yuck (what are some things they wouldnât like, whether in a partner or in general)
He doesnât like someone thatâs full of themself or thinks that they are higher than anyone else around them. He especially doesnât like it when humans treat nonhumans like trash. Heâs an asshole, but he isnât that kind of asshole.Â
ZZZ (what are their sleeping habits like)
Out of all the wolves, he probably sleeps the best. Granted, his sleep comes with nightmares, just like his brothersâ, but he needs rest or he turns into an even bigger asshole than he already is.
