28 with steven/marc! Congrats on your achievement of 8k! You deserve it ☺️
thank you! you're too kind! here's the blurb!
join my 8k celebration by requesting blurbs from this list!
Marc rarely, if ever, fronts whenever you're at their apartment. You don't know why. You told Steven that you wanted to get to know Marc if you were to consider moving into their apartment, but it seemed impossible.
Marc pretends to be Steven when he fronts, but you notice it every time. The tension in his shoulders and the hardness of his eyes is everything you need to know that Marc was with you.
You tried ignoring how Marc's standoffish behavior towards you made you feel. You just wanted to get to know him. You weren't asking him to be in a relationship in the same way that you were with Steven, but it would make things easier if he ever did.
You know Steven noticed the strain on your relationship whenever he asked about Marc. He was never co-conscious when Marc fronted, he wanted to give Marc a semblance of privacy and a chance to get to know you without his influence. Your half-hearted shrug and one word answers were all he needed to know things weren't going well.
So, you started pulling away. You didn't want to cause a rift between the two of them. It was the last thing you wanted. They really only had each other and you didn't want to be the reason why they argued all the time.
You made up excuses as to why you couldn't meet Steven at the museum for lunch anymore. You stopped going to their apartment and gave short, quick responses whenever Steven called or texted. You thought it was better this way.
On one day in particular, you hear a soft knock at your door. When you opened it, you were surprised to see Marc standing in front of you instead of Steven. Although the hardness in his eyes and shoulders were still there, he looked apologetic.
"Marc?" you murmured just to be sure.
He nods in confirmation. "Can I come in?"
You nod and open the door for him to step inside. It makes your heart race as he passes through the threshold of your home and into the living room. Shutting the door behind you, you follow Marc into your home. You swallow hard and watch him pace the length of the room.
"Marc? Is everything okay?"
He stops and stares at you, nodding. "Yes. I just had to come see you. I know you've been distancing yourself from Steven, and I know it's because of me. I hate myself for it because you deserve better. I... I love you, I've always loved you from the moment we met but you deserve better than me which is why I don't spend time with you—"
You take three long strides to get to Marc and place your hands on his cheeks. Pressing your mouth against his, you shut him up at a kiss. It was everything he needed to know that his feelings were returned.

You see me
Leah Williamson x McCabe!Reader
Warnings: angst, feeling invisible, Leah’s ACL. Also I decided to split it into two parts this is a little background in part one part two is more your relationship development and then the downfall.
Leah wasn’t a mean person, she had never been mean to anyone in her life, until she met you the Arsenal signing who hadn’t had the opportunity to play for them in her first few seasons sent out on loan instead, Katie’s little sister, she was so mean to you though all because of a stupid bet your sister had made. Leah was doing the meanest thing she could possibly think of to you, you the quite and shy defender who only seemed to speak on the pitch, you who shied away from every fight on the pitch brought your way, you who was currently standing in front of her with tear stained cheeks as your eyes pricked with more fresh tears threatening to spill over, you who’s hands shook as you held on desperately to her present your signed Thierry Henry Arsenal jersey you had gotten as a kid. You whose eyes broke from their stare to look at Katie as she laugh “i mean come on pal hardly you actually thought that.” You who as Katie began laughing again surrounded by the Arsenal girls shoved the framed jersey into her hand quietly saying happy birthday as you turned to race out of the room. Leah was mean so mean to you a girl who didn’t deserve any of this. Amanda came pushing through the Arsenal girls before reaching her daughter “where is she off to then we are about to do the cake.” Leah turned to look at her mum cheeks blotchy and tears in her eyes “mum….i.”
6 MONTHS EARLIER
You grew up one of the youngest of 11 kids, the younger sister of international footballer Katie McCabe and so the title of “Mini Mac.” Had been bestowed upon you when you first signed for Shelbourne FC. Only you where the complete opposite to your older sister quite, reserved and always ready to shy away from a fight on or off the pitch you could easily get lost in a crowd and often times that was the case. You knew growing up in a house with so many kids whether everyone was there or not you had to be loud to be seen but after so many years of trying as a little kid you got used to being quite and invisible and unsurprisingly that transferred into your football career and adult life.
You had made your senior debut for Ireland at 16 just three weeks before your 17th birthday and shortly after your older sister’s team Arsenal had come knocking looking to sign you in the summer transfer window. How could you pass on the opportunity to play for your childhood club, a top team in the WSL and better yet along side your ideal, your older sister.
But your career seemed to get stuck at Arsenal, getting loaned out after your first season of sitting on the bench wasn’t ideal and when you finally thought you would get to step out on to the pitch for your dream team you got loaned out again this time to Manchester United.
Manchester wasn’t always the best Marc Skinner ran a tight ship that often led to you feeling worse than before hiding away from his constant grief about the team not being good enough in your cubby became a norm, but at least you got to play a couple of games right ?. what you hadn’t expected was to be called back to your parent club. With news of Leah’s ACL tear hitting the media a few days later and her inevitable exit from the team so she can focus on recovery you some how still hadn’t expected to get a phone call from Jonas Eidevall informing you that Arsenal had requested your return to take Leah’s spot on the back line plus this time would be different you would get to play along side Katie for both club and country you would have someone who wouldn’t mind sitting with you just talking about random things.
Boy where you wrong, arriving at London Colony you where greeted with the medical staff who wanted to do a check before they let you in to train with the girls agreeing quickly as to get it over and done with you couldn’t help but tap your foot excitedly the thought of pairing up with your older sister in training and just laughing like you used to. Arriving into the changing room you turned looking for your sisters cubby spotting the shamrocks decor you smiled at the little sense of home no matter how cliche it was before setting your things into empty space beside her looking in at the photos that dawned the inside smiling at the family photo of all 11 of you before it waved as you spotted your face half cropped out of it only you knew it was you otherwise you wouldn’t have a clue who it was. You jumped slightly at the loud noise smiling at the familiar accent Turing to spot your older sister “Y/n.” You looked at all the other Arsenal girls smiling “hi.” Katie walked towards you eyebrows pinched together in confusion “wha ya doin here.” You looked at her confused this time “ I got called off loan I’m covering the centre back position.” The team looked at you confused “we don’t need another Centre Back Y/n we have Rafa, Lotte, Jen and Teyah.” You looked at Katie a little hurt at she brushed your position off of course you knew that Arsenal didn’t have a shortage of players that’s why you where sent on loan in the first place but now you where here to play for their senior squad for the first time at the age of 22 along side Katie and you couldn’t help but feel like she didn’t want you there “I know, but Jonas called me and he said that I would be taking over for Leah for the time being.” You were cut off by Jen “he said that to me and Lotte as well mate.” You felt delusional now of course you wouldn’t be the first choice not against Jens experience and Lottes longevity at Arsenal from being an academy player you where just Katie’s little sister the name on your back the reason you had gotten so far that’s what you had been told since your older brother Gary had you out playing in the road “oh yeah I’m probably just here to back up you guys then or maybe Steph I can play on the left.” Jen nodded moving to her cubby as the rest of the team dispersed “I’m really excited.” Katie looked at you eyebrows forward “why.” You smiled “I get to play along side you here, you know my dream club with my big sister I was actually wondering if you might want to….” Victoria made her way over jumping on to Katie’s back “partners for training.” You looked at the way Katie’s face lit up for the younger girl “who else would I be partners with.” Katie turned and began talking with the younger girl as you felt your heart sink you wanted to partner with Katie but just like at home when she would rather play with Lauryn or international duty and you could never drag her away from Rue or Louise.
You sighed walking back into the changing room taking off your boots before heading to the gym where you watched the girls separate into their groups as you headed over to the balance ball looking to start like you normally did at United. You couldn’t help look around at all the little cliques within the team and wonder if you would ever fit in, shaking your head you decided to try and stick with Katie you could at least count on her she was a built in buddy for crying out loud.
This happened for the first couple of weeks back at the Arsenal you following Katie and her friends around as you tried to fit into conversations or into training exercises but they never seemed to notice you often getting cut off or left to run a drill solo, match days were one of the worst getting dressed into your Arsenal shirt adrenaline kicking in as you hoped today would be the day you started or even got to come off the bench only to be met with a full 90 minutes of siting alone on the end of the bench freezing legs bouncing up and down.
Team nights weren’t any better often sitting alone just watching your teammates laugh trying to get in on the jokes and have a laugh but ultimately getting talked over again. You would often find yourself slipping out before food arrived.
Leah had been watching you over the past few weeks heartbreaking at the sight of your depleted emotions as you were either denied a conversation or training partner or the opportunity to represent Arsenal. Walking into the changing room Leah looked around smiling at you softly as you looked up catching her eyes as you tied your boots getting ready to head out for training “hey, we are having a team session at mine this weekend I was wondering what you eat from the Chinese to have it all ready.” You looked quite shocked at the older girl not once had someone approached you, you always had to put in the effort and asking what you wanted to eat at hers was even more shocking you knew you wouldn’t even last that long but the look on Leah’s face told you she wasn’t taking no for an answer “eh just some version of spicy noodles please.” Leah nodded smiling “cool it starts at 7 but come over whenever yeah.” You nodded smiling “thank you.” Leah squeezed your arm heading to the physio as you head out to train.
Arriving at Leah’s you texted Katie who you knew had already arrived telling her you were outside and asking her to get the door as the anxiety built at the thought of ringing the doorbell but after 20 minutes you decided you where just going to have to push it aside and knock. Instantly the door opened as Leah smiled at you happily “hey you made it.” You smiled sheepishly at her “yeah sorry I…. Is Katie here.” Leah looked at you worriedly as you picked at your hand “yeah over there.” You turned spotting your older sister before walking over “hi.” You felt stupid as no one not even your sister seemed to acknowledge you as you looked around for an empty seat before opting to stand in the doorway to the hall. Hours ticked by as you watched your teammates once again laugh and enjoy each others company as you stood awkwardly away moving whenever someone had to get past, sighing you set your drink on the table before heading to the door before you felt someone grab your hand “where you off to then.” You turned eyes landing on Leah as she smiled at you “me..oh..I…well I was going to head home.” Leah looked at you carefully “how about one drink with me and if you still want to leave after it then you can and I’ll see you on Sunday.” Looking at her quizzically “ok.” You were shocked at how quickly you agreed but followed the older girl as she laced her fingers with yours pulling you into the kitchen “right pretty girl what would you like to drink.” You looked at the drinks spread out in front of you before agreeing to a bottle of Heineken as Leah popped off the top handing it to you “you know for a McCabe you’re awfully quiet.” You smiled halfheartedly “I know, I….its just the way I am I guess” you paused “I tried to be..but when you get left out no matter how hard you try you sort of just I don’t know adapt to it ya know.” Leah smiled at you softly “well I think it’s rather refreshing I mean I know she’s your sister but Jesus Christ Katie’s worse then Tooney and that girls loud.” You let out a laugh as Leah’s eyes lit up she had never heard you laugh before and to make you laugh caused something to stir within her.
You both didn’t seem to notice the time as the girls crowded into the kitchen to say goodnight to their host as you looked at your phone looking back up you realised Leah had been swept away by your teammates as you put the empty bottle you had been nursing for the last four hours and slipped out the front door before heading home.
Team nights continued on like this, the girls sat laughing in each other’s sitting rooms while you and Leah talked about anything and everything in the kitchen laughing amongst yourselves. You couldn’t help but smile at the blonde the fluttering feeling in your stomach worsening the more you both did this at team bonding nights so much so it had spilled over to getting the fluttering feeling every time you saw the older girl.
Playing at Arsenal was improving too, you had been pushing your self harder than ever hoping for Jonas to notice and give you some minutes and finally it payed off.
You guys were set to play United and you couldn’t wait to see some of your old teammates especially Mary who had taken you under her wing when you joined on your loan.
Walking out for warm ups you began lightly running before being pulled into a rondo and then taking shots at Manu. You began to make your way inside when you heard your name being called before looking to the family and friend section seeing Leah smiling you waved sheepishly making your way back to the changing room. Jonas had barged in ten minutes before kick off stating a change to the line up “Y/n you’re starting on the left Steph is out she has a problem with her hamstring.” You looked at the older man surprised as you nodded standing to make your way to the tunnel.
After a tough match that ended in a draw you turned looking at your teammates breaking into groups as they began making their way to the away stand to thank the travelling fans before you felt someone jump on your back “Maca.” You laughed trying to shove her off “Maza get off me.” Laughing Mary jumped off your back pulling you into a bear hug. You sunk into her embrace as you squeezed her tight “I miss you.” You hummed “I miss you too.” Mary pulled away “you seem happy, definitely happier what’s going on your new team absolutely adore you then.” You smiled halfheartedly as Mary felt her smile drop “hey you can tell me.” You shrugged “I don’t know I just thought this time would be different, getting to play at my favourite club with Katie is a dream I mean it’s all I’ve ever wanted but I just can’t seem to click.” You dropped your head feeling disappointed “oh y/n they’ll come around your amazing, quiet and shy yes but amazing nonetheless.” You looked up “I think I made a friend though Mary.” Mary felt her heart swell at the hope in your eyes “oh yeah who.” You smiled thinking of Leah just as she wrapped her arm around your shoulder greeting Mary who seemed to immediately notice your red cheeks “ready to head to then.” Mary grabbed your arm pulling you towards her “did she not tell you Williamson she’s staying at mine tonight then heading back to London.” Leah looked at you eyebrows raised as she poked her tongue into her cheek trying to not get annoyed at the way Mary’s arm wrapped around your waist and you leaned into the older girl “but it’s Katie’s night for team bonding.” Mary shrugged “we have had this planned for weeks Williamson I’m afraid you’re going to have to wait.” You smiled sheepishly at the blonde “sorry Lee, I’ll see you tomorrow though.” Leah sighed pulling you into a hug “alright but you text me as soon as you hit London.” You smiled nodding “Will do.”
You spent the night talking about Leah to Mary and the older girl couldn’t help but smile you looked so in love just talking about her and so happy that you had made a friend on the Arsenal squad that not once did she try stop you from talking instead smiling and nodding along and asking questions when she thought of them.
Leah spent the night feeling miserable sat on the couch beside Lia and Beth, your kitchen chats had become her favourite part of team nights and with you still in Manchester Leah felt slightly lost, that was until Katie announced a game idea “let’s play truth or dare.” Sighing Leah joined the rest of the girls sat in a circle laughing every now and again as she watched her teammates take turns choosing truth or dare and carrying out each task that was until Katie decided to ask her “right then Williamson truth or dare.” Leah smiled never one to back out “Dare McCabe.” Katie smiled wide “I dare you to ask my sister out and see how long you can string her along for.” Leah felt her smile drop “what.” Lia piped up “Katie that’s a bit far.” Katie shook her head “nah it’s not, it’s just a joke she’ll understand come on I’ll even make it a bet.” Leah looked around at her teammates, before dropping her eyes to the ground. She liked you more than a friend but you had never given any indication that you liked her back, maybe she could use this to see and then if you did you guys would end up dating anyway right. Looking up Leah smiled slightly “how much.”

the makeup: nico hischier x devs!reader

Tumblr media
nico was panicking.
how could you just disappear from the apartment without so much as telling anyone? especially now that you were pregnant.
immediately, nico checked find my iphone, but your location didn't show up. he checked snap maps as well but you'd turned your location off, making the hischier man even more worried.
"isla please tell me you know where y/n is," he pleaded on the phone.
on the other line your best friends rolled her eyes. “what do you want nico,” she asked.
“isla, i want to talk to y/n/n, please just tell me where she is,”
“oh so now that she’s gone you want to talk?”
nico sighed and looked to jack, the phone was on speaker, jack just shrugged he had to agree with his ex.
“i didn’t want to talk when i was angry okay, so please tell me she’s with you and i’ll come pick her up” nico justified.
“she’s not with me.”
nico groaned, banging his head on the table. jack was scrolling on his phone before he spoke up “she’s not with isla, maybe try calling her.”
shaking his head, nico looked through his phone to dial another person.
“nico hischier do you know what time it is?” amanda asked.
“amanda, please tell me y/n/n’s with you,” nico responded.
over the phone nico could hear amanda sigh. “nico, i’m going to give you some advice and i really think you should listen to it,”
nico’s silence served as an ‘okay’ for amanda to continue.
“you and y/n have gone through great lengths to keep this relationship a secret. you’ve been dating for what a year and a half and your fans still don’t know. that just shows how willing you are to look after your girlfriend. but when you’ve got a pregnant girlfriend who’s had to put her career on hold you don’t get to shout at her,”
“i know and that's why i want to talk to her,” he interrupted.
"nico, go to sleep. she's finally gone to sleep and she shouldn't be disturbed. go to sleep and the two of you can talk tomorrow," amanda advised him.
although, the mother couldn't see him, nico nodded. "yeah okay. goodnight, sorry for disturbing you," he apologised.
nico didn't sleep very well.
he tossed and turned all night thinking of a way he could plead for you to come back home.
nico woke up to a pleasant surprise, amanda had sent him the address to where you were.
"she's in fucking boston," nico cursed.
he, jack and timo were gathered in jack's apartment waiting to go pick you up.
"great, now pack your bag and let's get on the team plane we can head to this address when we land," jack ushered.
nico looked at his alternate in confusion.
"we're playing the bruins nico. in boston," he informed.
that was all it took for nico to haul ass into the plane.
meanwhile in boston
"marchy, i don't want you to hurt him," you repeated for what felt like the hundredth time.
brad gave you a pointed look "are you sure cause sid said he's ready to knock a few teeth in and flower's planning on tripping him he comes close enough to the net," he rambled.
"hold on, how do flower and sid know?" you asked.
brad paused for a second. you weren't supposed to know about the group chat.
"bradley kevin marchand. how do sidney crosby and marc-andre fleury know I'm not talking to my boyfriend?" you asked again.
"i may have texted the group chat," he answered.
brad then spent thirty minutes explaining that all the older guys in the league that wanted to look out for you, created a group chat to keep each other up to date about your whereabouts.
he then confessed to there being a league-wide group chat filled with both old and young guys who care about you.
you were going to blame your hormones but the thought of people in the league caring about you made you cry.
and faith always had perfect timing as the doorbell rang.
brad had an inkling of who it could be so he asked you to get it.
upon opening the door, you were met with nico's worried face staring at you in relief.
the devils captain brought you in for a hug, not caring that the two of you were fighting previously.
"schatzli, you have to promise me you won't do this again. i was so worried about you I couldn't sleep and I called everyone but they didn't know where you were until amanda sent me your location this morning. when I saw you were here I realised that you probably flew and that's not exactly safe for the baby so I started panicking even more," he ranted.
"i'm sorry," you interrupted.
"no schatzli, you have nothing to be sorry about. I'm the one who got mad at you for no reason, I shouldn't have shouted at you especially now that you're pregnant," he apologised.
"it's just so hard seeing you guys play and not be there with you. like guys who are injured still get to go on the ice but I can't and it sucks. and none of the guys come visit anymore and it makes me think you guys forgot me," you whispered the last part.
nico's eyes softened at your hurt expression.
"i'm so so sorry my love. it's all my fault. i thought you were upset when the boys came over so I told them not to hound you with their presence, I never meant for them to stop visiting at all," he explained.
you nodded and brought him in for a hug and a kiss.
"does this mean i can tell the guys to hold off of hurting him?" brad asked, making his way to the front door.
you turned and nodded at him. "yes and if I see anyone try something, I will fight them myself," you threatened.
brad nodded and took his phone out to send a text.
out the corner of your eye, you saw nico giving you a look that said 'what is he talking about?'.
but you ignored him and gave him one more kiss "thank you for your hospitality brad, but I think I'm gonna follow this guy back home," you thanked going over to give brad a hug.
brad marchand may be a rat on the ice but to you he's just uncle brad.

Jake, Am I Gay?
Tumblr media
OC (Sam Waters) x Platonic!Jake Lockley
Takes place in my SSSB Universe. Series is over but I think Sam deserves a little touch on what never really got resolved. Jake and Sam are besties, Sam is dating Marc and Steven. Takes place after the finale.
Summary: Jake is not expecting to be asked if the askee is bisexual.
Warnings: Coming out? Questioning? Both of them are coming out.
A/n: Spoilers for Highlander show from the fuck'n 90's I guess??
Tumblr media
Jake had just got done shoving Sam's feet of him as she tried to prop them up on his thighs. He's a good friend, but he's not that good a friend.
Jake and Sam were finishing season 6 of Highlander and it was... awful. Sam through a fit when Tess died, life taking the throw pillow and smacking it on his head and after she got done crying kind of fit. Pissed enough that while Steven and Marc left Sam and Jake alone when they hung out to give then privacy,Steven sensed Sam's distress enough to come out and steal the pillow. When they realized it was just that stupid show, Steven wacked Sam with the pillow until Sam was giggling and the neighbors were banging on the walls for them to shut up.
The show was clearly trying to set up for an Amanda spin off, something Sam said was probably fucking awful but insisted they watch. Jake agreed. It wasn't really about the show, it was about spending time with Sam. Jake had never felt romantically inclined to her or anyone, and the agreement with the system was he could blow off steam sexually as long as he used protection.
Then she threw him a curveball, as she always did.
"Jake, am I gay?"
Never a moments peace with this one. He continued eating hot cheetos. "Yeah probably."
There was a short pause, then she turned to him, while he kept his eyes on the TV. "You didn't think to maybe relay that information to me?"
Jake shrugged. "We thought it was best yo figure it out yourself. Besides, if it makes you feel better, I was the last out of us bozos to connected those dots."
Sam scoffs. "Except my dad apparently." Turning back to the TV, she crossed her arms and pouted. Last month, Dave told her he thought she was a lesbian, which was the first Sam heard of the concept and the first time Jake considered the idea she liked women. Apparently, Marc and Steven have known for a while, what with the way she drools over Rosalie in Twilight and all.
Sighing, Jake grabbed Sam's feet and plopped them up on his legs. "Relaje, hermana. It takes a while for us to notice, even about ourselves. I think we were 30 by the time I noticed."
Silence, and then Sam spoke. "You're gay? Or Bi, or... what even are you? You never tell me any details."
"And I never will. You just have to worry about me falling in love with someone random, and Marc doesn't have to worry about me falling in love with you." He flicked her ankle, teasing Marc's jealous/possessive streak. "You don't tell me about you and Steven and Marc, I don't tell you about the men, women, and everything in between and beyond I sleep on my nights away."
Sam laughed at that, gigging with her arm still crossed. "Fair, fair."
The pair finished the episode and Jake thought it was over. But, just as he relaxed (and Sam knew when to strike.) She hoped up, leaned into Jake's ear and shouted, "Ha! GAYYYYYYYY." and proceeded to run off giggling before Jake even began to give chase.

SKYE NICOLSON: 12 x 3 ROUNDS FOR SERRANO? SIGN ME UP!
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Follow @Frontproofmedia!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id))(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');
Published: April 06, 2024
Australian star would take on Puerto Rican over longer distance – but first faces Mahfoud for WBC strap in Las Vegas
Skye Nicolson says she is open to facing Amanda Serrano over 12 three-minute rounds if that gets the fight on. The Australian is targeting a comprehensive win on Saturday night over Serrano’s old Sarah Mahfoud for the vacant WBC Featherweight belt at Bleaulive Theater at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, live worldwide on DAZN, to stake her claim for the mega showdown.
TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW VIA TICKETMASTER
 Nicolson (9-0 1 KO) is fighting Mahfoud (14-1 3 KOs) for the WBC strap that Serrano vacated in December, a move Nicolson has previously stated was due to the seven-weight champion not wanting to face her, and not down to wanting to fight over the 12 three-minute round distance.
The Australian star has landed the World title fight she’s been craving, albeit against tough Dane Mahfoud instead of the Puerto Rican. The duo previously met for undisputed in September 2022, with Serrano prevailing on points. Although Nicolson has put the Serrano fight to one side to focus on the task at hand, the 28-year-old can’t help that it’s a fight that she’s asked about all the time – and aims to deal with Mahfoud in better fashion than Serrano to prove she’s ready to take on the living legend. “I can only fight who they put in front of me,” said Nicolson. “Serrano is the dream fight, and to have been boxing for undisputed in my tenth fight would have been legendary, but it didn’t happen. It is what it is; I’m not looking past Sarah. I’ve got a good opponent in front of me, and it’s for the best belt in boxing, in my opinion, so I am fully focused on the job in front of me, and we’ll see what’s next after that.    I hope the Serrano fight happens; I am ready and waiting. I want the best; I feel like I am constantly saying it, but it’s true. I wanted the Serrano fight in my eighth and ninth fights. I have Sarah for my tenth fight, so maybe it’s Serrano in my 11th fight; who knows? I want the belts, so I am going to keep pushing for that.   “12 x 3s suits my style. I’m a patient fighter; I love the longer rounds, so for me, it makes sense. For women’s boxing, I personally don’t agree with 12 x 3s; I think the depth of women’s boxing, 10 x 2s, has been really good for growth. It’s kept it exciting, and you’ve seen the women’s fights steal the show time and again, and I think that’s down to the two-minute rounds. So, for me, I love three-minute rounds, but for women’s boxing, not so much - but if the only way to fight Serrano is over three minutes, sign me up.   “The Serrano fight for Sarah was 97-93, 97-93 and 99-92. That’s not happening, that’s all I will say. The way I am boxing right now, I don’t see the fight going the distance. If it does happen to go the distance, it’s 100-90.”
Nicolson’s clash with Mahfoud is part of a big night of action in Las Vegas, led by a double-header with two of America’s brightest stars: Richardson Hitchins takes on Gustavo Lemos in a final eliminator for the IBF World Jr. Welterweight title, and Diego Pacheco defends his USWBC and WBO International Super-Middleweight titles against Shawn McCalman.   British Olympic gold medal man Galal Yafai defends his WBC International Flyweight title against Agustin Mauro Gauto. Marc Castro gets a first title bout in his 12th pro outing, taking on Abraham Montoya for the vacant WBC Continental Americas Super-Featherweight title, Harley Mederos is in action for the sixth time in the paid ranks over six rounds against Pedro Vicente, and there’s a pro debut for former Team USA talent Steven Navarro over six rounds at Super-Flyweight against Jose Lopez.

I need to add those harder states to my reading calendar earlier in the year if I am going to complete the challenge in 2023. Here's my complete list. 2022 Reading Challenge

Dawning Delights 02: Baking Cookies
Tumblr media
Summary: Hawthorne invites her newfound family in the Tower to experience a City-Style Dawning with the family that took her in years ago. The holiday is not without it’s charm, or aggravation, and certainly has plenty of surprises in store. A season-inspired, trope-tastic story about a family forged by something greater than blood, finding reasons to enjoy the season - and cherish each other. Main Post
Pairings: Hawthorne/Zavala, Sloane/Amanda, Devrim/Marc
Updated every Tuesday/Friday & both holiday eve and days for Christmas and New Years.
-/
Marc, in typical Marc fashion, revises a midday brunch to a family-style dinner not long after making their arrangement. Apparently he’d got Amanda’s very enthusiastic RSVP and decided she should be treated to a home-cooked meal and be able to provide input on their Dawning Celebration. After all, accepting Zavala into their unorthodox family meant Amanda came along with it.
"Oh, this isn't going to end well." Suraya rolls her eyes as Amanda hollers, "He doesn't know the difference between salt and sugar!"
The Clan Stewardess pulls a beer from the fridge and hands it to the Shipwright. "Take this, and go back to watching your sparrow racing, would you?" When Amanda goes, she lays a hand on his forearm. "You're doing fine."
Zavala sighs. "I don't have to help with these-"
"Yes, you do. You’re psyching yourself out. Stop doubting yourself. Cooking and baking are two totally different things."
"And yet you excel at both."
"Both my fathers taught me what they knew. Besides, I don't think anyone was baking cookies in the dark ages," She reminds him. The exaggeration earns her a subdued half-smile. "Blend in the butter. Slow, fold it in on itself." She watches the consistency change, sticking her fingers into the mixture to test it. "Perfect," She tells him, voice even, not indulgent. Tension bleeds from his shoulders. "I'll roll it out. Amanda picked the cut-outs, right?"
He turns, finding them on the counter near the refrigerator and brings them to her. "Here."
"You can do this too, it's easy." She hands him back one that looks suspiciously like a jumpship. They exchange a glance at the rest - also jumpships and sparrows - and Hawthorne grabs a few more that look like stars and bells, even a little Ghost-shaped one.
He presses the cookie cutter into the flat roll of dough carefully.
"You can't hurt it, Zavala, push all the way through." 
He does, and when he pulls back the cookie cutter, the dough comes with it. Halfway through transferring it to the cookie sheet nearby, it flops out of the plastic. He catches it in a fist, effectively ruining the shape. 
Hawthorne laughs, opening his fist and plucking out the dough. "Put your hand under it next time." She rolls the misshapen cut-out back into a ball and pops it back in the bowl with the other half of the dough. "You really can't hurt these. I promise."
"You've seen me try to cook," He reminds her, pressing into the dough again.
Her hips nudge his. "You've got this, Commander. Besides, Marc will be more obsessed with us baking together than he will about the quality. He can't bake to save his life. Ask him about the time we tried to make Dev a birthday cake. He'll love it." 
Amanda shouts something in the background, kicking her feet against the bottom of the couch. No doubt she has glimmer riding on the results of the race. Meanwhile, Suraya works with precision and experience, rolling out more dough on the counter beside him to speed things up.
"Did Marc try often?" Zavala knows by now that her childhood isn't a secret, but she grows embarrassed easily and won't share much without pointed questions. As it happens, Zavala is curious, wanting to know as much about her as he can.
He'll get the story from her first, and still ask her adoptive parent later. By then, Suraya will be loose enough to point out any inconsistencies, and add her own commentary. 
"No. He looked up ‘easy to bake recipes for kids’ exactly one time," She admits, sheepish still. "Dev was on assignment and due back on his birthday. We did some accidental chemistry." She wipes her forehead with the back of her hand, spearing a dab of flower on it. He spares it a fond blink and meets her eyes once more. "Some cakes use vinegar, and baking soda. It helps them rise. It's also the same thing used in children's experiments, science fair volcanoes, that sort of thing." She shrugs. 
"My Dad - I mean, you've seen him, he cooks by heart. The recipes are just guidelines." Zavala hums in agreement. "So he dumps the vinegar in right after the baking soda, and he's got the mixer on, right?" She claps her hands. "Just, bam! Everywhere. Chocolatey ruin, all over the kitchen." She laughs and he can't help but smile. "I must have been eight or nine, I can't remember. I laughed about it for a week. He spent an hour washing chocolatey goo out of my hair, and three more trying to clean the kitchen."
"What did you do?"
"He all but sprinted to the bakery. We made it home with maybe ten minutes to spare? Dev probably wouldn't have known," She grins, "But I ratted Marc out immediately."
Zavala laughs.
"He was so stressed, and Dev was so confused, and," Suraya giggles, "I didn't know what to do." She snorts, having to stop what she's doing, she's laughing so hard. "Marc started raving. 'The damn thing said it was for kids,' he kept saying. He's sworn off baking to this day, and I'm not kidding, he hasn't made a single dessert." Finally, she composes herself, wiping tears from her eyes. "I am so making him tell you the story. He'll lose his mind."
"Are you sure you want to antagonize him?"
She is. "He's a primadonna. He loves it. He'll start with the hand motions-" She flops a hand towards him, dusting his sweater with flour, lips snacking as she tries to belay her laughter once more. "Oops."
Blue eyes look down and narrow. "Suraya," He warns in a tone that says he’s already determined his next move and it’s not in her favor.
She grins, sheepishly. "Whatever you're thinking, don't."
Dark shapely eyebrows rise and fall in a silent insinuation. 
The next time Amanda comes into the kitchen, there may or may not be hand prints on Suraya's back, and flour in her hair. Zavala isn't faring any better, she sees what she'd guess is a Suraya-sized palm smeared across the seat of his jeans. She takes one look at them and makes an about-face, leaving her empty on counter, sneaking into the fridge for another, unwilling to join in the chaos. They're too busy carrying on to notice her, and she's not about to spoil their fun.
She will, however, bring it up to Marc later, because she knows he'll want to hear all about it.
-/
It's well after dinner when the girls are laying on the couch watching some old holiday feature that Zavala pulls Marc aside. He waits until Suraya is nodding off onto Amanda's shoulder - Amanda is too enthralled to mind, she loves these reruns - to slip back into the kitchen unnoticed. 
"Plans in plans?" Marc queries smartly, unprovoked. His hair is starting to turn more pewter than black-brown these days, but he still doesn’t look a day past forty (he’s thankful to his skin-routine and hairdresser for that). He gestures to the large kitchen island, and the stools beside it.
“Well,” Zavala doesn’t look nervous. Perhaps that’s why it radiates off him so obviously. Marc doesn’t believe in auras, but projection and a little context do wonders. “I do need to ask you something.”
Marc shakes his head, patting Zavala’s folded hands. “When and how? Is there a plan and can I help?”
“You don’t even know-”
His hazel eyes shine in fond amusement. “She sees right through you, doesn’t she?” He muses aloud, to which Zavala shifts uncomfortably, exposed. “That’s not a Devrim trait, you know.”  He tips his head down, trying and failing to conceal his grin before swinging his gaze back up to ethereal blue. “She gets that from me."
"Still-"
"I am absolutely certain my husband gave you the curt, gentleman's heart-to-heart and relished every awkward second of it." He crosses one leg over the other, and smiles. Devrim had called him immediately after this particular conversation, resources and satellites, encrypted comm protocols be damned. After all, it wasn't often that the Vanguard Commander snuck into the wilds unannounced to ask your blessing to marry your child. "You don't need to convince me. I'm here for this. And you.” His eyebrows dip in an insinuation. “So spill."
Zavala leans in, voice dropping to barely a whisper, and Marc scoots closer, visibly vibrating with excitement.
-/
The Guardians waste no time presenting their Vanguard with presents. For Ikora, flaky pastries replace last year's overabundance of donut holes. Zavala finds himself inundated with Gjallardoodles again, within hours of the Tower's festivities officially beginning. Eva, laughing from her place between Tess, Kadi, and Rahool, only encourages it. 
Hawthorne watches from afar. She doesn't have the heart to tell them that Louis doesn't eat birdseed when they bring it by the bag. Instead, she sets it aside for Colonel, who is still roosting comfortably in the Hangar and will - unlike what Cayde insisted previously - eat anything.
At some point, she sees Zavala approach Ikora for some sort of exchange. Pastries for cookies, conversation between them unrushed and pleasant. She can see it in their body language. They may not be close, but it warms Suraya to see Ikora smile, for her to be getting along with Zavala and them to be working as a team once more. 
The year prior had been rough for everyone. Hawthorne and Zavala were still working to well and truly define what was between them when Cayde was murdered. Sure, there were feelings and Suraya's relatively certain they both knew what those feelings were at the time (they just wanted to be careful), but losing Cayde changed things. 
The Vanguard was forever changed. At one point, Suraya had been pulled into a meeting with the Hidden - which was something - and been asked about Zavala's stability (they really did know everything, which was alarming) and her opinions on the Vanguard being necessary at all. It had been a time. Of course, she understood why those questions begged asking. Zavala threw up walls like she did, closing himself off to everyone.
But, Suraya knows better than anyone how to slip in the cracks. She did not push or prod. Did not beg his attention or time or push him to cheer up. She simply existed, constant and quiet, at the edges of the room, the other side of his bed. Waiting. It didn't take nearly as long as she had expected.
Now, she knows, she has Eva to thank for that. There was a reason she'd made sure Suraya only received edibles for her feathered companion (misguided though it was). The old woman had given him a reason to be concerned, a reason to share his overabundance of holiday treats with her, and it paid off.
It took far longer for the Vanguard to make peace and try to move on, for Ikora and Zavala to set aside their collective pride and grief and foster a relationship once more.
Here they are, though. She can hear Zavala's low laugh from here, see the way Ikora reaches out to test one of the better looking cookies in the tin he's holding. They're better together, the both of them.
Louis squawks something agreeable, and she doesn't think on it much when she turns to feed him a little nibble of the treats he'd been given that he does enjoy. Some of the Hunters who know a thing or two about hawking have brought him presents, as well. He hasn't gone hunting yet, and 'tis the season. He's a little underweight as it is. He chitters on like the spoiled brat he is, keeping her attention. She smooths his feathers and grins at him. He looks at her, head tilted, beak parted. Asking for the rest.
"No more," She says, and his cries grow a little more urgent. "You want food, you have to hunt. You're not a chicken."
He beats his wings petulantly before crying once more. Suraya laughs and sends him on his way.
When she turns back, Zavala is entrusting the two tins of leftover Gjallardoodles to Ikora. The Warlock slips the smaller one into a drawer at her station. Suraya doesn't think anything of it.

Just One Look
Pres10 Vance x f/Reader
Just like all my other stories, this has not been proofread, but please enjoy.
Gifs & photos do not belong to me.
Warnings: Some swearing.
Also the photos is just to show the outfit, not what I am picturing the reader to look like. Please imagine your gorgeous self in one these dresses or even in a dress you may want to wear for this.
Do you know how hard it is to find a photo of this man in a suit! Almost impossible. Just imagine him without the Belt.
Main Masterlist ♡ AEW Masterlist ♡ Pres10 Vance Masterlist
Summary: - Pres10 falls for Brodie Lee's cousin.
Pres10 Vance POV:
Alex, John and I were running late to get to Amanda's house as we promised to take Brodie and his cousin to Disney World.
Amanda has to take Nolan to the Doctor office for his checkup so the three of us offered to take Brodie off her hands.
"Just text Amanda saying we are just around the corner." John said to us.
"Does anyone know about this cousin?" Alex asked us.
"All Brodie told me was that her name is Y/N." I told them as we pulled infront their building.
As the three of us got out of the car, the front door opened and out came Brodie.
"You're late." He said, glaring at the three of us.
"Sorry, got stuck in some traffic. Let's get going. Go and grab your cousin."
At that moment Amanda walked out with Nolan in her arms and my breath got caught in my throat at the woman who walked out with the two of them.
"Brodie...who is that?" I asked him.
"Y/N." Was all he said.
"That is Y/N?" I was expecting someone closer to his age.
Tumblr media
"Yeah, that is my cousin Y/N. Actually my Dad's youngest cousin, but still my cousin."
"Brodie, remember to listen to them. Have fun. Thanks again you guys." Amanda said to us.
"No problem. You know we will do anything for you guys." John said.
"Oh yes, this is Y/N. She is John's cousin and I spending a few days with us." We each shook her hand.
"Sorry about intruding, Brodie insisted I join even though I told him it was okay."
"We don't mind. Let's get going." Alex said and the five of us got in my car.
Brodie insisted that Y/N sit up front with me and I raised my eyebrow at the young boy, who just smiled at me.
We spent the day at Disney World and it was so much fun except for the fact that Brodie insisted on Y/N and I going on rides together. I mean, is he trying to be my wing man?
At one point it was just Brodie and I as he was too small to go on a few rides so we were all taking turns sitting one out.
"What are you up too Brodie?"
"Nothing.."
"Brodie, come on."
"Fine. I just want you and Y/N to be friends. I don't want her to leave and if you two spent time together and got to know one another, then maybe she won't leave."
"You know she will be back right?" I said to him.
"I know, but I just like spending time with her and Mom isn't lonely when she is there."
"Have you tried to talk to her about this?"
"Y/N still has to leave. She already made plans to meet up with her own friends."
We didn't get to finish the conversation when the other came back.
"Who is ready to go? Amanda wants us for dinner if you three would like to come." Y/N said.
"Alex and I already told Marc we would meet up with up. Can you drop us off Cody?" John asked me.
I said sure. I got asked to dinner as well but I didn't feel like going.
I dropped the two of them off at the hotel and drove to where Brodie has been staying.
Amanda was pleased that I was staying for dinner.
"I just ordered pizza, but need someone to go and get it."
"I'll grab it for you Amanda. Anyone want to come with me?" Y/N asked as she stood up.
"Cody will go." Brodie said as he started to try and push me out of my seat.
"Brodie, Cody will go if he wants too."
"No worries Amanda. I'll go."
It was kind of awkward in the car but Y/N asked about my parents and I couldn't stop talking about them.
"Wait, you grew up in Michigan?" She couldn't help but laugh at me.
"And what is wrong with Michigan?"
"Nothing is wrong, I am just a Notre Dame kind of girl. I bleed the blue and gold."
I pretend to gag and Y/N couldn't help but laugh at me.
"Brodie was right, you are funny."
We picked up our pizza order and were driving back.
"Tell me about yourself Y/N."
Y/N told me about growing up. Her childhood, her family, her friends.
"Got a special someone?"
"No, kind of hard to date once they find out I am related to someone famous, it was always about them trying to meet John."
We got back to the building and I grabbed her hand in mine. "I know we just met, but want to go on a date with me?" I was actually nervous.
Tumblr media
Y/N'S POV:
Lord kill me now. I should of never admitted to Brodie that I find Cody cute, but that kid can get anything out of me.
I looked at him holding my hand and I would seriously love to go on a date with him.
"Cody, I would love too...but I leave in the morning. I am flying out to California to go and see some friends."
I watched the smile disappear from his face and he nodded his head in understanding.
"But I can come back after. I just planned on going home but I can just come back here. I am only gone until next weekend."
"We will be in New Orleans."
"Then I will fly there. We can have our date on Saturday. I know you are busy, so I will make the reservations and everything. Look hand me your phone."
Cody unlocked his phone and handed it to me. I put my number in and text myself. "You now have my number and can text me or call me anytime. But we should get this food up there." I said as I handed him back his phone.
The next morning I was up early and sadly saying goodbye to Brodie, Nolan and Amanda.
Brodie didn't want to let me go. "Brodie, I have to leave. My taxi is here. I will be back before you know it."
"You promise?" Was what he mumbled.
"Of course. I am only gone for a week and I promise to be back." That seemed to make him let me go.
As I was sitting in the taxi I felt guilty about not telling him I was meeting up with Cody in New Orleans.
The week flew by and I was now on my way to my hotel to change and to meet Cody at NOLA Caye, which is a restaurant I have been wanting to try for some time.
I was nervous as I sat in the uber. Cody and I have been texting and calling each other all week and we were both looking forward to this date.
Just before I walked into the restaurant, I smoothed down my dress. I changed atleast four times before picking the dress I am wearing.
Tumblr media
I told the hostess my name as the reservation was under it and I was taken straight to my table where Cody was already waiting.
He stood up and I got a good look look at him. He doesn't wear suits often and you can tell, but he looked so handsome.
Tumblr media
I said thank you to the hostess as Cody pulled out my chair for me.
"Such a gentleman." I teased.
He laughed nervously.
"Are you nervous Mr. Vance?"
"I am and I haven't been this nervous to go out with someone since high school."
"No need to be nervous Cody. I am just Y/N L/N."
"I know, I just really like you and I have enjoyed our conversations this past week and getting to know you."
"Well don't think as this as a date. Just think about it as two people meeting up after a week apart and catching up."
Cody started to relax the moment our food came and by the end of the dessert, it was like we have known each other for ages.
As we were waiting for the bill, which I tried to pay half for but he threw his credit card down on the table so fast I asked him which city they are hitting next.
"We are going to New York if you want to come along."
"I would like that. When can I see you next?" I am a straight forward person as I don't want to play any games.
"Tomorrow for lunch? I'll pick the place this time."
"I would like that Cody."
Our first date ended with him kissing me and I enjoyed every single moment of it but it sadly ended as my uber came.
The next day we met at Turkey and the Wolf and I enjoyed it.
"When do you think would be a good time to tell Brodie that we have been on a few dates?" I asked him as ate a fry.
"I will tell him tonight. I usually call him before the show if they don't come."
"Yeah, might be a good idea since they are flying to New York."
"What are we going to say this is? Just two people casually dating or.."
Cody reached across the table and grabbed my hands in his. "How about boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"I would like that Cody."
We finished our date as he had to leave to get to the match on time. I hated to leave him but I had to catch my flight back to Florida.
I am a teacher throughout the year and I enjoy my summers off. Sometimes I work, but this year I decided to just travel.
Once I was off the plane and in a taxi heading back to Amanda, I had a few missed calls from her but I figured I would just talk to her once I am there.
I knock on the door and Amanda opened it, glaring playfully at me. "Well, are you going to let me in?"
"That depends, when were you going to tell me you were dating Cody?" I rolled my eyes at her as I walked past her.
"He literally just asked me to be his girlfriend today. We have been on two dates and I was going to tell you when I saw you."
"Well...Good. I am happy for you two." Amanda said as she pulled me into a hug.
"Y/N!" I heard the excited voice of Brodie and the happy laugh from Nolan.
I spent the rest of the night watching movies with them and it made me sad at some points just because John wasn't here with us.
Once the boys were in bed, it was just Amanda and I.
"You know Amanda, I don't know how you do it."
"Do what?" She asked me as she sat down next to me on the couch.
"Just stay so strong. I look at Brodie and all I see is John."
She took a deep breath. "Some days it is harder than others but I have to remind myself that John is always with us. The AEW family have been there since day one. Cody has become like a big brother to the boys. Other members of the Dark Order love to have them around as do the other wrestlers. I know I can call anyone at a moments notice and they will and have dropped what they are doing to be there for us."
I couldn't help but look over at the photo of John that is on the mantle and smile. She is right, he is always with us
Tumblr media
Pres10 Vance POV:
Today was the first time Y/N will be seeing me wrestle and I am very nervous.
"What is up with you?" John asked me.
See I haven't told anyone I was dating Y/N. I just didn't want to deal with the teasing.
"Remember Y/N?"
"Of course."
"Well, you know how when we were in New Orleans and I said I was meeting up with someone."
"No way, Y/N?"
"Yeah, been dating ever since."
"Is that why you are acting so weird?"
"Yes, this is all new to us and I don't want to mess it up."
"Just go out there and do what you do." John said to me.
When I walked out there with the Dark Order beside me, I noticed her in the crowd and I couldn't help but smile which I hid quickly.
My match was against Austin Gunn and it was close but I made him tap out.
We were the main event and the Dark Order joined me once more, including Brodie as Negative One.
Tumblr media
I was getting my lip stiched up when I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Not as bad as it looks Cody?"
"No, but have to be careful with it for a few days. I missed you though."
"I missed you too sweetheart." I said as she kissed my cheek.
After I was stitched up, Y/N helped clean off the blood on my chest on face.
"You know most women would of run by now."
"I am not like most women." Was her reply.
And she wasn't.
She was there through it all. Y/N was the first one by my side when I hurt my hand and through recovery.
Y/N is full of surprises. She surprised me with a trip to Mexico and that is where I proposed to her.
A year later we got married with all our friends and family there, and I had Brodie as my best man.
I guess he really was the best wing man because with out him, I would of never met Y/N.
