You're not her...
I've been seeing a good bit of fics where the reader is left for another woman and people around them are encouraging it. While I do love a good angst, I would simply pass away. Your girl, Riddle, is weak.
Especially if it's my baby boy Simon.... I can't. I love the idea, but as someone who is an absolute crybaby, I wouldn't survive being reader...
So what if that happened to nurse reader's partner left them for a fellow recruit and when everyone starts being like "good for him", the 141 isn't having any of it?
The others on base seemed honestly happy that your heart had absolutely been broken. I mean, you weren't exactly around him as much as she was. You couldn't see the undeniable chemistry there was. You had tried to put on a brave face. But when John had come in for some ointment for a burn and you were falling apart, he gathered up his boys.
Something needed to be done. A point to prove not just to you or your ex or that woman who had chosen to pursue a very much taken man, but to the hold damn unit. Your ex didn't leave you because there was someone else. He left you because he didn't deserve you in the first place.
In hand to hand, Johnny doesn't hold back. Not only does your ex absolutely get his ass handed to him on the mat over and over again, but does it in front of his new girl and everyone else. How embarrassing. Doesn't exactly help that Kyle is on the sidelines talking so much shit that she begins to get the ick. I mean, could he not honestly win one match? Wonder what that says about a man who can't even hold his own? It even gets cringier when your ex tries to place the blame on the drills from yesterday with a certain Ghost.
Simon is already hard as a lieutenant. But add in the factor that the recruit he currently has running drills is the same recruit who hurt his favorite little nurse? The boy would be lucky to crawl out of there. The second an exercise or drill is not made to absolute perfection, Simon has him running it all over again. It almost
John is already starting the transfer papers the first time he catches your eyes the least bit misty. You don't have to see that rubbish and since the prick and slag couldn't have the decency to wait until he had broken up with you properly instead of telling you that even though he was with you, he had fallen for another woman, then they'll be sent to completely different units. John lists the reason for transfer as a liability. If they were so proud of their "love" before, let them keep that same energy.
And Kyle.... Sweet shit talkin' Kyle. Who plants seeds around the entire base. Nowhere are these two lovebird safe from judgment. All of the female recruits have ostracized their fellow female soldier while receiving lewd looks and calls from the males. I mean if she was easy enough to fuck a taken man, then she must be an easy lay. And here comes Kyle, telling your ex 'man-to-man' about seeing his girl with other officers. Kyle is the most gentle when it comes to the 141. But the motherfucker knows a thing or two about psychological warfare.
After your ex and the girl are suddenly, very mysteriously sent elsewhere, everyone starts flocking to you. Offering reassurances on what a bullet you dodged. How, from what they heard, they had broken up shortly after being relocated to separate bases. The boys see your confidence creep back in. Your smile is a little brighter. A little more pep in your step.
You wouldn't tell anyone how your ex had e-mailed you. Complaining about the new base. Explaining how he had ended things and just wanted you back. How he regretted ever letting her get to him, as if she were the only one at fault for kindling the relationship.
It also didn't help that a certain member of the 141 had come by your station, wondering if you wanted to grab a drink when you were off of your shift.

Break Me Slowly|Part 16|YandereLevi x Evelyn
(A/N: Another day another shot at degenerate Levi. Bro doesn't even know his wife got knocked up yet and I intend to keep it that way for a little bit because he deserves to suffer as well for his not very cash money behaviour)
WARNINGS: noncon, dubcon, manipulation, domestic abuse, yandere themes, forced marriage, forced pregnancy, stockholm syndrome, violence, mind breaking, misogyny, etc.
==========================================
Evelyn rubbed her eyes, the sounds of digging in the dirt of the basement haunted her dreams to the point she couldn't even think properly anymore. Sleep evaded her, she had just barely convinced Levi not to touch her last night, still unsure how to tell him about their unborn child. Eventually she would have to, but she didn't even know what to say, all chances of freedom would be gone forever, he would never let her go now. Her fate was sealed.
Levi nudged her with his elbow, she had been dozing again, noticeably so. He was desperately trying to keep up appearances, there had already been a lot of questions when he married her, as to why she was taking a leave of absence. Now that she was back there was more suspicion, more whispers, even the slightest thing she did would cause people to question what was really going on. Thankfully, everyone was more interested in her, a high ranked veteran suddenly returning to action, more than Petra's disappearance. It was as if she was forgotten, her corpse rotting in their basement.
As for right now, it was only Captain and wife, Commander Erwin, and Hange present, the only ones who could be kept on the inside when it came to information. Eren was in prison, Zeke held captive, Evelyn finally was filled in on the details of their plans considering the hostile nations surrounding them. She was never important enough to hear all of this before, sent into enemy territory without so much as a clue what would come next. But those in authority leaving her to her fate was nothing new by a long shot.
"So as promised Levi, since Evelyn retrieved this information for us I'll uphold my end of the deal." Erwin slides a set of papers across the desk for Evelyn to take.
"Discharged?" She asked in disbelief.
"Levi's demands in the whole arrangement, one last mission. And as your Commander I'd like to thank you for your service-"
"Are you kidding me!?" She stands to her feet, slamming her palms on the table. "After all of this I'm discharged?! For what? To be Levi's permanent housewife? Are you that intent on screwing me over Erwin? As if you haven't done enough-"
"I don't think getting upset will help anything-"
"Go fuck yourself- spew your casualty of war bullshit somewhere else, I'm tired of hearing it!"
Levi grabs her by the shoulders, forcing her to sit.
"Hange? C'mon, you get it. You know everything they've told you is bullshit."
Hange can't meet her eyes, guilt coursing through her. "I"m sorry, but I can't disobey Commander Erwin."
Evelyn struggles against Levi's grip, wanting nothing more than to strangle the person she called friend.
"Settle down, Evelyn." Erwin's expression matches Levi's in sternness. "We're trying to give you a proper send off-"
"Then do one in front of everyone. Let me get on a stage for a moment and tell everyone why I was being discharged."
"You know we can't let you do this."
"Because you're scared that they'll know the truth and turn on you. It's sad really."
Levi pulls her close and whispers in her ear. "Behave yourself woman or I'll take you out of here and then you really won't like what happens next."
For now, at least, she shuts her mouth, so hard she hears her teeth click together. It wasn't worth it, at least for now.
"So with Zeke held in custody, Levi we're going to need you to guard him."
Levi casts an annoyed glance at his Commander. "Are you shitting me Erwin? First I let you send my wife away for a month, and now I have to sit and watch that fucking monkey for who knows how long?"
"I'm sorry Levi, I wasn't aware that your personal life overruled the future of this entire country."
He chewed the inside of his cheek, clearly annoyed. "And what about Evelyn?"
"I can take care of myself Levi."
"Oh I'm sure you can, especially when a big strong man comes to protect you."
"The fuck is that supposed to mean?"
"I think you know what it means wife."
"Enough." Erwin interjects. "I prefer it if you didn't have a domestic in my office. And Levi, Hange volunteered to make sure Evelyn is safe and taken care of while you're gone."
He seems wary of the thought of entrusting his wife to someone else, even one of his closest friends, doesn't sit well with him. But for once Erwin has a point, he can't let his personal life trump the future of this country, if he didn't do his part now his kids wouldn't have a future. "Fine. So long as you remember Hange that-" He clears his throat. "Talk we had about Evelyn's needs?"
Hange nods in agreement. "Don't worry, I know how to take care of her. Finally we'll get some girl time without you!" She laughs, and the glint in her eye signifies she's already full of ideas.
"Then I guess there's nothing more to discuss." Erwin stands. "Meeting adjourned."
============================================
What Levi wouldn't give to have Erwin in front of him right now, put him through this hell. "Just watch Zeke", he didn't think that meant listening to the smug bastard ramble on and on about the most annoying of topics.
"Guess you weren't well liked by the ladies, since you think you know everything."
The hairy bitch. "I do know. And I was liked enough, so-"
"Oh that's right, you're the lucky devil who got married to the Titan Shifter."
"She has a name you know." His teeth were clenched, for most, mentioning his wife could be a death sentence, unfortunately this time killing the prisoner wasn't an option.
"My apologies, I didn't mean to insult you and your lovely wife."
Levi chooses to drop the subject, when one of the other Scouts whispers in his ear that someone had come to see him. Which was odd, since only the handful of Scouts present and a few higher ups knew where they were.
Hands gripping his swords, he follows the Scouts to the edge of the forest, surprised to see his wife dismounting her horse. "What the hell are you doing here?" It was by no means an unwelcome surprise, but a surprise nonetheless, and the trip could have been dangerous.
"I need to talk to you, privately." She says, something clearly amiss.
Without letting the concern show on his face Levi nods for her to follow him, staying relatively away from the others. "What is it?"
"It's Eren, he's escaped, him and a group they're calling the Jeagerists are looking for Zeke, trying to find him to do who knows what."
His eyes flash with anger. "I knew the bastard was against us from the start." He turns, ready to confront Zeke when she touches his arm.
"Wait- there's uhm, there's more-"
"Then what is it? Speak quickly woman I don't have time for this."
She had to tell him, she knew that, she had to tell him she was pregnant in case something happened to either of them. It should be so easy, why was she hesitating now?
"Just that-" Why was she trembling so much? He was a man, just a man, not the demon her mind had turned him into. "You need to be careful, I don't trust him-" At the last moment her courage vanished, making her lose the nerve to tell him.
Levi seems suspicious, feeling there was more, but even that confession was surprising and sweet, she wanted him to be safe for her. Maybe she was turning around, maybe after all of this they could be a real family.
He pulls her into his arms, squeezing her tightly like he always did to comfort her. "I will be, don't worry about me, I'll come home to you, I promise."
She sighs, she was truly a coward, but at least a somewhat loving action from Levi was worth it. "I know you will."
The almost sweet moment ended when they both heard a scream coming from the inner camp. Levi pushed her away and scanned the trees, his heart beating out of his chest and his swords drawn. He glances from the woods to her, his mind working as he fits together what's happening.
"Get out of here."
"What's going on?"
He pushes her forcefully towards the clearing. "Run!"
Nearly tripping on her own feet she forces them to move, running through the trees.
She takes a look over her shoulder, seeing Levi charge towards the centre of camp where those dozens of bright lights start exploding.

The Perfect Bad Boy (Pt. 14 of 18)
Pairing: Billy Hargrove X Reader
Word count: 3 K
Summary: Working as a lifeguard in the Hawkins Community Pool, you try to fit in after moving from New York. Things were going pretty well when you notice you've been under someone's stare. Billy Hargrove, Hawkins' bad boy, has been staring at you since day one. You never intended to have anything to do with him, judging by the reputation he has. But Billy won't leave you alone, determined to show you his feelings are different this time...
As if your heart flooding you with confusing feelings wasn't enough, there are weird, strange animals lurking in the woods... But those have to be just part of the wild live of the woods surrounding Hawkins... Right?
<- Previous part (13)
Next part (15) ->
{Stranger Things Masterlist}
×
Hunt and Destroy
“Alright... A lot of new words and names...” You mutter, looking at the floor between your feet. It's late now, and Eleven has been talking for over an hour. The story is long and you had to stop her to ask a few questions. More than a few, actually. Everything sounds like a very strange story, the weirdest, something nobody could come up with. To prove it, Eleven turned the TV on with her mind, skipping through the channels before turning it off again. But you didn't need any proof. You know what you saw and it was very, very real. “Upside down, Demodog, Demodorden...”
“Demogorgon. With a G.” Dustin corrects you, smiling. How can he be smiling?
“Demogorgon, ok.” Nodding, you take a deep breath and stand up. “So... What's the plan?” You ask, pacing around the living room.
“Well, we need to gather the whole party for this,” Max says and the others nod.
“I'll talk to my mom and Hopper,” Jonathan speaks out. “We have to do this as soon as possible so... tomorrow.”
“Yeah. Can it be here?” You're not sure if you can make this demand, but right now, being anywhere else after dark is too much. The sunlight is your protection since it's deadly to the... Demo-something. It burns them. They like it cold, said Eleven.
“Sure.” Jonathan answers and you offer him a small smile in return. “Could it be by five? Before the sunset.”
“Yeah. We can sneak out of the pool again.” It shouldn't be a problem, and if Anthony is there, you could pretend to be sick.
“Tomorrow is our day off.” Billy reminds and you take a deep breath, running a hand through your hair. You completely forgot that.
“By the morning them. Maybe we'll get something figured out we can start working on through the rest of the day.” Mike suggests and the whole party agrees. “We should get going though. It's late.” Mike gets up from his spot on the floor.
“Wait.” Mike can't possibly be for real now. “You're not gonna head home now. With those things out there.” They're getting closer to the town, and it means they'll hang around all night. “It's dangerous. You should stay.”
Most of them agree easily, chattering among them. Max seems excited, but Mike exchanges a look with Nancy. “I don't think our mother would let us crash at Billy's place.” She says with an apologetic look.
“Oh.” You know why. Billy told you where he was going to when the Mind Flayer almost got him... Or better saying, who he was going to meet. Mrs. Wheeler. You did felt weird back then, and it sure makes you feel weird now, but whatever he did before, you left it where it belongs. In the past. “Just call and tell her you'll be crashing at my place.”
“Yeah, man. C'mon. Slumber party.” Dustin cheers, smiling, and once again you can't understand why they aren't terrified. Guess they're just used to it. But how can someone get used to monsters lurking around?
“Alright, then.” Mike agrees, making his way to the phone.
“They didn't get it yet,” Billy whispers in your ear.
“They didn't get it.” Repeating, you wrap your arms around his neck. “I'm really trying not to freak out right now.” The words come out of your mouth, rolling out your tongue.
“Let's go to the bedroom so you can rest and we can talk.”
“Ok...”
“Alright. It's done.” Mike comes back with his sister, gesturing at the front door. “Should we get going?”
You and Billy exchange a look. They really didn't get it. “Uhm... So that's it, guys.” You start, taking Billy's hand and pulling him with you. “You can crash either here or Max's room. First to wake up makes breakfast.”
“Wait. You made me lie to my mom?” Mike asks as you move further into the hall.
“(Y/N) is living here.” Max ends the mystery, and you can feel her massive eye roll.
“Holy shit.” You hear Dustin and Steve mumbling as you get inside the room.
Billy lets you shower first, and as you wait for him, you look through his college books. Everything seems very complicated. Your fingers run through one of the pages, taking in the many numbers, but not really reading anything. Your mind is too far away right now. The scene keeps playing back, over and over. The... Demodog, as the kids call it, its face opening up, the guttural noises it made. You wish it was just a nightmare, but everything seems very, very real.
Billy's sudden touch makes you suck in a sharp breath, shaking a little. “Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you.” The feeling is quickly replaced by the usual warmth he makes you feel. Safety and comfort.
“It's ok, I'm just... How is it possible that the kids seem to be so fine with it?” Turning around, you lay your head on his chest as he pulls you close.
“They've been through a lot. They know how to deal with it and you don't have to participate if you don't want to.” Billy touches your face, fingers caressing the soft skin of your jaw. “I'll do anything to keep you safe, you know that right?”
You do. But staying out would not only make you a coward, but it would mean one less person to help them do whatever they're planning to. And, whatever this thing is, it had a part in messing with Billy's life. With Max's life, and all her friends. It's kind of personal. And, if Billy is in danger, you want to be there to make sure you'll do anything to save him. “I want to do it. I just need time to... Process everything.”
“You won't be alone. And I'm not talking only for myself, but for everyone else too.”
“Ok.”
“Now come. You need to get some sleep.” Billy pulls you to the bed, and, instead of laying beside him as usual, you decide to crawl on top of him.
“Am I crushing you?” You ask as you lay your head on his chest, smiling to feel his strong arms around you.
“Haven't you noticed the weight I can lift? You're nothing compared to it.”
Closing your eyes, you feel as he places a kiss on the top of your head. You've never been like that with Billy, literally on top of him, and it's good. Today, more than ever, you need to feel safe. Protected. And he's the only one who makes you feel this way. “I'm so happy we don't have to go to work tomorrow.”
“Me too.”
Pulling yourself up, you move upwards until your face is close to his. “Do you think the kids are talking about us?” Despite your mind being apparently stuck reminiscing the same moment, the terror in your chest, you try to change the subject. Hopefully, it'll keep you from having nightmares tonight.
“I'm sure of it.” As he speaks, a noise of glass shattering reaches us. “Max!” Billy yells at the top of his lungs, startling you. “What the hell!”
“Stop yelling.” You giggle, playfully slapping his shoulder.
“Just a glass, Billy,” Maxine answers from somewhere in the house.
“Better clean this shit up!” He shouts again.
“Shut up!” You whine, lowering yourself on him a little. “Or else I'll have to make you and it won't be nice.”
Billy raises an eyebrow, that usual smirk making its way to his lips. “Oh, and how exactly wouldn't it be nice?”
Yeah, you didn't really give much thought before making the threat. “Okay then.” Smirking, you close the distance between you until your lips are brushing on his before you sit up abruptly, a hand covering his mouth. “See? I told you it wouldn't be nice.” He opens his mouth under your hand, and you feel his teeth biting your skin. “Billy!” You complain, taking your hand away from his mouth. “I can't believe you bit me, you jerk.”
“You got what you deserved.” He suddenly pulls you down, making you lay next to him. “Now, quit playing around and sleep, princess. Tomorrow will be a long day.”
“Kiss me goodnight then. To keep the bad dreams away.” You ask him softly, melting into the slow, warm kiss he gives you.
It doesn't help with the nightmares though. Twice that night you wake up, a breath caught in your throat. You struggle not to let Billy notice, snuggling closer to him.
You're more than happy when morning finally comes. The house is so damn loud, and breakfast in a mess. You like it though, the craziness distracting you from yesterday's events. The rest of the party is here by nine, thanks to the urgency of the matter. And then, after everyone is fed up and the dishes are clean, which took half an hour since nobody wanted to do it, everyone sits in the living room to talk.
And you just can't seem to keep up with it. The boys speak fast, Hopper yells, Joyce tries to calm him down, he argues with Eleven, which is like his daughter, you got that, and then he argues with Mike. Nancy and Jonathan always check with each other before saying something, Steve always finds the flaws on the kids' plans, pointing out the many ways it could go wrong, and Dustin often gets into some kind of argument with him. There are a hundred different ways things could go wrong. A thousand ways you could die. Running a hand through your hair, you hold onto Billy's biceps, laying your head on his shoulder. You're the only one who didn't say anything since the conversation started. There's just nothing you can help them with, you'll just stick up to whatever plan they have.
What they know for sure that these Demodogs are here because some of them must have been left behind in some kind of incubation period until it started growing again.
“So that's it. Hunt and destroy.” Lucas says, nodding to himself.
“Yes. We don't know exactly how much time we have until they start going full Demogorgon, so we should start acting now.” Mike states. “Immediately.”
As if something was lit up, everyone starts moving. “My place in one hour, everyone,” Hopper says and suddenly the crowd disperses, the house once again silent.
You're still in the same place you were, on the couch, legs crossed, eyes on the floor. “Hey. You ok?”
“Yeah.” Taking a deep breath, you stand up. “So. Hopper's place. One hour.” Saying this more to yourself than to him, you get up and pace around the living room. “Should we take the baseball bat?”
“Steve has one far more fun than that. You'll like it.” You can tell Billy is keeping his voice nice and soft, trying not to push you over the edge with everything that's going on. “(Y/N), you don't have to go. You know that, right?”
“I do. But I'm going anyway.” Walking over him, you tiptoe to place a kiss on his lips. “Those kids are so brave. I don't want them to think I'm the weak link.”
“Alright, but we stick together. No exceptions.”
“I agree.” It does make you feel a lot better.
In the next hour, you and Billy shower and get ready. You make sure to wear short jeans and a light shirt so you won't feel too hot. The plan is trying to find the Demodog's nest. This part has to be made during the daylight, to make sure no attacks will happen, so you have no choice but to walk around the woods under the sun. Billy makes sure to shove a lot of water on his backpack, using literally every bottle he found in the house. And Max gathers some snacks for the day.
You reach Hopper's place at the same time Nancy, Jonathan, and Mike does, realizing it's also Joyce's place. The party is gathered in front of the house, a big map of Hawking on the ground. Beside it, a pile of some random stuff that you guess will be the... Weapons you'll use. Just in case.
Hopper is the one to assign everyone a place to start, the area they'll have to cover, and where they'll have to stop. There are lines drawn over the map, and you hope Billy has everything memorized because you don't even know where is where. Then, the groups are separated. Billy of course says he'll take you and Max. And Lucas, much to his dismay, will come along too. When people start taking stuff from the pile, you immediately get what Billy mentioned earlier. There's a baseball bat with nails on the top. Smiling, you take it.
“That's so badass.” You mutter, looking at Billy. “This will be my weapon of choice.”
“Hey. That's mine.” Steve exclaims, reaching out his hand.
“Not anymore, buddy.” You sass at him, swinging the bar and hitting the air.
“But–”
“She's good with the bat, trust me,” Maxine says and you nod. Some people have an interrogation on their faces, and Steve keeps staring at the three of you, as if waiting for further explanation.
“We have an inside joke.” Lowering the bat, you turn to look at Billy.
“Restricted to the Hargrove family,” Billy states, taking one the radios from the pile and starting the make his way to the car. “And Max.”
“But what about me?” You feel a little set aside by his affirmation, wondering what he meant. It's impossible that he's ignoring the fact that you were there that day. “I'm in the joke too.” Whining a little on purpose, you follow him.
“You still only notice half of things.” Billy winks at you as he gets inside the car, and after Max and Lucas get in the back seat, you get in as well. “I know you know what I meant.”
“Maybe I didn't.” Billy has this way with you. You were expecting the first sensations to fade, but they didn't. He still makes you nervous, the butterflies on your stomach doesn't seem to grow immune to him. And part of you is still scared of the things you think he means. You did got what he said, but it's safer to just pretend you didn't, right?
The short drive is filled with chattering. The kind of chattering you didn't want to hear since it's all about the Demothings. You stop by the woods, and Max and Lucas will be the ones responsible for the map since they have a compass.
And so the ‘hunting’ starts. You're glad it's not a real hunt though. You remember when you invited Billy for a trail with your friends, but walking through the woods feels different now. Before, you had only the normal wild animals to worry about, not some monsters that came out of the gates of hell. But you try to keep in mind that the sunlight means protection, so you'll safe. For now.
“Billy, can you make sure we'll have enough daylight to make the way back to the car?” You ask him, putting your hair up on a ponytail.
“I will, don't worry.” He moves closer, taking your hand in his. “We'll be ok. Just focus on trying to find anything unusual in the woods.”
“Sure.”
Billy doesn't let go of your hand until you stop to eat something. Lucas and Max start arguing a lot when you resume your walking, complaining about the directions. Billy is clearly pissed, not very fond of the idea of his little sister dating. It's cute the way he keeps staring at the young couple, paying attention to whatever they're saying. You wonder if Billy ever thought about having kids.
Wait. What the hell? Step back, you tell yourself. Too soon for that.
At some point, a fresh breeze starts blowing, and you couldn't be more thankful for it. Letting your hair down, you run a hand through it out of nervousness.
“I'm telling you, we have to go West now,” Lucas says.
“Yes. First West then North.” Maxine takes the map from his hands, taking a look at it. “It's obvious if you think about it. Just look. Try using your head for a moment.”
“Are you calling me dumb?”
“Yes!”
“Alright, both of you.” Billy intervenes, his voice with a tiny hint of anger. “Will you two make a goddman decision or will I have to?”
This will be interesting. Billy and you have been walking a couple of feet behind them, so as he moves ahead, you stand there, crossing your arms. The breeze brings a soft sound, that looks like the sound the pools make when it's windy. Following it, you spot water, only about ten feet away. Leaving the guys behind to their fights, you make your way there, making sure there are no big trees hiding you from their sight. When you get there, you bend down, putting one hand on the freshwater.
“(Y/N)!” It's Billy's usual yell, the one he always uses to scare the shit out of you. “Do you want to give me a heart attack?” When you turn around to look at him, he's already close by, Maxine and Lucas coming right after.
“Sorry, but I found this lake.”
“Lover's lake,” Max says, sitting down on a rock, eyes on the map.
“Lover's lake?” You repeat, crossing your arms and looking at Billy. “Why haven't you ever brought me here?” By the name, you think it would be a nice romantic date. And you remember by what you saw on the map, the lake is shaped like a heart, the reason for the name.
“Oh, you're new here. Sometimes it slips my mind.” He puts he bag down, safely away from where the small ripples reach. “People usually come here to... You know. So I thought that if I brought you and then you found out what really happens here you'd come to the wrong conclusion about my feelings for you.”
That's a very good explanation. And it makes you feel... Special. Different. “Thank you, then. For... Having this in mind.” As you speak, you take off your white shoes, all dusted by now.
“What are you doing?” He asks, an eyebrow raised when you look up at him, using his arm for balance to take off the other shoe.
“I'm using the Lover's Lake to something else than making out.” You start walking backwards, into the water.
“Whoa, look at what (Y/N)'s doing,” Lucas says, and you give them a glance. Max giggles, putting the map down.
“Try to drown Billy, would you?”
“I'll do my best.” When you stare back at Billy, he's already in the water.
You move back until your feet stop touching the bottom, so you start swimming further away. The freshwater is a blessing, washing the hot day from your skin. For a moment, you decide to leave the worries behind, just for a couple of minutes. Billy is quick to reach you, and you're suddenly aware of the kids staring. “We have an audience, keep that in mind.” You tell him when he pulls you close, strong arms encircling your waist.
“Were you ever kissed underwater?”
“No.” Your smirk matches his as you take a deep breath and push yourself down.
The kiss is a mess. You have to focus on holding your breath through the process, what makes you laugh, throwing bubbles on Billy's face. You manage to reach the bottom, your back hitting the rocks as Billy floats on top of you. But eventually, the oxygen you were saving is over, so you push him away and swim back up, laughing when you reach the surface.
“What a chaos.” You burst out when he comes back up as well. “We suck at underwater kisses.”
“I think I swallowed some water,” Billy says, coughing a little.
It only makes you laugh harder, removing the hair glued to your face. Swimming closer to him, you wrap your arms around his neck.
“Hey! Mr. and Mrs. Hargrove! Let's get moving!” Lucas shouts, making you roll your eyes.
You burst into laugh again when Billy flings you over his back, carrying you back to land.
And the walking restarts, with Max and Lucas constantly arguing and Billy trying to make them stop. The good thing is that it distracts you. And the bad part is that it distracts you from searching around for any signs of a Demothing nest. Your eyes scan through the woods, among the trees, looking for–.
“Holy shit!” Lucas exclaims and then he jolts away, running, followed by Max. You and Billy exchange a look before rushing after them.
Before you can ask what was that, you see it. A huge hole on the solid ground. It would fit a car in it. The thing goes down, in a slope, and then it keeps going until it makes a turn left. It's clear it doesn't belong to any kind of wild animal. It's not natural. A low, guttural low snarl reaches your ears, and you involuntary gives step back.
“Call them. Them then we found it.” Lucas says, taking a pencil and making a mark on the map.
The moment Max takes the small radio, you hear static. “Everyone listen up.” Steve says, more voices talking behind him. “We found it. A freaking hole in the ground. It has to be–”
“That's it.” Eleven's voice cuts him off. “We found it too.”
It was supposed to be just one.
“What?” Steve asks.
“Head back now. Everyone.” Hopper says and Max turns the radio off.
This is far worse than you thought.

~Kurama~Main Story Chapter 26~
Chapter 25
*
*
*
-------Part 1--------
The very next day after spending the night with Kurama----
(This should do it!)
Yoshino: "All patched up. Thank you for your hard work. I'm relieved that your injuries are all minor."
Morinaga: "Thank you. But I'm also sorry Yoshino. Your deal with Tamamo was broken last night and I had to make you come all this way, even though now you don't have any business with the Shogunate."
Morinaga-san smiles apologetically as I finished treating the cut on his shoulder.
Before leaving for Hiraizumi, I had asked Yoshitsune-sama to allow me to stop at the Shogunate camp.
(Some people have been injured because of me, and I want to work as a pharmacist for them for one last time.)
Yoshino: "No at all. Is there anything else that hurts?"
Morinaga: "No no. I'm strong, so I get hurt less."
Kurama: "Then leave. You've been touched too much by Yoshino."
Yoshino: "No!! Kurama!!!"
Kurama, who was leaning against the nearby fence was waving to drive Morinaga-san away.
Morinaga-san who didn't seem to care much laughs and puts his kimono back on.
Morinaga: "He's a tough nut to crack."
(I am happy that he came all this way for me.)
Yoshino: "It's natural to touch a patient while treating them. Don't take that in a weird way, Kurama."
Kurama: "That's why I kept quiet during the whole treatment."
I was about to say something back when I heard the sound of one person's footsteps in my ear....
Shigehira: "What's an outsider doing here?"
Yoshino: "Oh, Shigehira-kun."
Shigehira: "Thank you for your hard work, Yoshino-san."
Shigehira-kun walks and stops right in front of us.
Shigehira: "Also thank you for looking after my men."
Yoshino: "No no, please..... I'm going to leave some medicines for the people who haven't been treated. Can I give it to you two?"
Shigehira: "Okay. About the ones who didn't get treatment----"
While Shigehira-kun was about to say something, we heard the voices of some soldiers behind us, talking near their tent.
Shogunate soldier 1: "By the way, did you receive treatment from Yoshino-san?"
(Ah....)
Shogunate soldier 2: "No no, I'm...fine."
Shogunate soldier 1: "Ah...well, I can't blame you. A lot of them were scared including me. Even though she was manipulated, she was terrifying...."
Shigehira and Morinaga: "..........."
(I went around apologizing but I knew a lot of soldiers wouldn't see me the same way as before.)
The soldiers had left without noticing us.
Shigehira: "----I'll be back in a bit."
Yoshino: "No wait!"
I hurriedly grabbed Shigehira-kun's arm as he was about to chase them.
Yoshino: "It's only natural they'd react like that, so I don't mind."
,Shigehira: "But...they're wrong. You're not a scary person."
Yoshino: "You can't force them to change their mind. And I'm sure someday, they'll understand. Even if someone was afraid of me, I didn't behave in a way that would bring shame to myself or to my friends. That's all I need."
(I think I would have paid more attention to people's reactions before, but now...)
(I know there are more important things to do...)
(And the one who taught me that was.)
Kurama: "That's right. There's no point in trying to understand a bunch of humans."
------Part 2------
Kurama: "That's right. There's no point in trying to understand a bunch of humans."
Kurama who was watching us completed my sentence.
Kurama: "They don't deserve your mercy. Instead, it's best to destroy those loudmouths like Shigehira was about to earlier...."
Shigehira: "Wait, I wasn't gonna kill them..."
Yoshino: "And I won't let you."
Morinaga: "Looks like you're already having a hard time, Yoshino."
Shigehira: "Are you sure about this....? You can still say no if you want, Yoshino-san."
Shigehira-kun pointed sullenly at Kurama.
Shigehira: "He's crazy. He's not nice at all."
Kurama: "I'm a demon and that's how demons are."
Shigehira: "That makes another reason to not date you!"
(Hmmm. I can't help but think that about Kurama from an outsider's point of view.)
Yoshino: "Kurama is kind. He's just got a slightly peculiar way of showing it. He's just unique."
Shigehira: "Are you really sure? You weren't fooled by him, right? Because you're so friendly with everyone, you might've been mistaken about him."
Kurama: "It is only Yoshino's peculiar interpretation that I am kind. But don't you talk about her."
Kurama looks down at Shigehira-kun.
Then he walks over to me and takes my medicine box which I was holding close to my heart.
Kurama: "If you've finished your treatment here, let's go. I suppose you'll be treating the Rebels next."
Yoshino: "Ah, I'll hold that."
Kurama: "Not happening."
When I reached for my medicine box, he easily lifted up to a height I can't reach.
Kurama: "You've been working since morning. What if you die from overworking?"
Shigehira: "Die from overworking? Why are you exaggerating..."
Morinaga: "No, Shigehira. Let's hear it."
(Ummm......)
The murmuring between Shigehira-kun and Morinaga-san makes me shy.
Kurama: "I don't have any problem with humans not getting treatment, but....I'm ready to make concessions to your lunacy. In return, I want you to not sacrifice yourself for anyone but me."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. You don't have to do that much...
2. I'm happy but scared.
3. It's not concessions... (+4/+4)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yoshino(blushing): "What you're doing is surveillance, not a concession!"
Kurama: "That's because you have been treating others like you're their personal maid. I don't like that."
Shigehira: "I'm getting very confused. I can't understand if he's being kind or over-possessive. What should I do? Maybe this is what Yoshino was talking about earlier? Showing kindness in a peculiar way."
Morinaga: "Kind or not...I'm relieved to see that Kurama cares about Yoshino in his own way."
Kurama: "It's only natural, right?"
(I think he's a little possessive.)
(Am I allowed to assume I'm getting special treatment from Kurama?)
That thought made me tickle and my cheeks were also red.
.................
After saying a final goodbye to everyone in the Shogunate and treating the Rebels soldiers.....
Finally, we left for Hiraizumi.
-----After a few days, we arrived at the Rebel mansion and I felt nostalgic.
From then on it was a busy and hectic life....
Sueharu: "Hmmm. So, after that, Kurama and Yoshitsune-sama went back to making a deal again."
------Part 3-------
Sueharu: "Hmmm. So, after that, Kurama and Yoshitsune-sama went back to making a deal again."
Kurama: "I broke it for my own reasons and now we went back like we used to be."
One day, the three of us, Kurama, Sueharu-san, and me, were having a peaceful conversation.
Yoshino: "I was worried about the plan failing, but it happened exactly how he predicted. You should have seen it too, they were really cool....."
Sueharu: "Hehe, I can imagine how crazy it was."
Yoshino: "I was also surprised how they managed to pull it out without having any meetings at all."
Sueharu: "I know. Yoshitsune-sama and Kurama are like each other in some way, aren't they?"
Kurama: "How am I similar to that vague man?"
(I think Kurama is the only one in this world who can call Yoshitsune-sama vague.)
Sueharu: "Yoshino, I hope you're not having a hard time."
Kurama: "Why are you saying the same thing as that Adachi Morinaga?"
Sueharu: "......What?"
(.....Sueharu-san?)
Suddenly, Sueharu-san's smile disappeared.
Sueharu: "Can you please not mention his name?"
Yoshino: "Do you know, Morinaga-san......?"
Sueharu: "Hm? Oh no, we don't really know each other that well."
The tension suddenly eased and Sueharu-san gave me his usual smile.
(It's alright now...but it seemed like for a moment something wasn't right.)
Sueharu: "Rather than that, Yoshino. I heard that you and Kurama are dating."
Yoshino: "Mm. That's right."
Before I could continue, he takes my hand and comes closer.
(Eh?)
Sueharu: "What a waste of a pretty sweet girl like you. Why don't you let me have her?"
Kurama(glares): "Hey."
Yoshino: "Oh."
Kurama quickly intervened and knocked Sueharu-san's hand away.
Kurama: "What are you doing with my love toy?"
Sueharu: "Are you seriously still addressing her as a toy? You must be grateful for Yoshino's open-mindedness."
Kurama(clueless): ".......?"
(Yeah, the exact same face he makes when he says his favorite line 'I don't understand.')
Kurama: "What's wrong with calling a toy a toy?"
Yoshino: "Umm....you can call me you're 'partner'?" (She says 'Koinaka, which means lover, I think in Japanese. 'Koi' means love and 'naka' means friend.....so 'love friend'?)
Sueharu: "A goddess like you doesn't deserve Kurama's outlandish remarks, right?"
Muttering in a light tone, Sueharu-san held up his index finger.
Sueharu: "But as a preacher of love....I want to know. Kurama, have you told Yoshino that you love her, properly?
Kurama: "Of course. On the battlefield, our hearts connected."
Sueharu: "Not like that, what I'm saying is....have tried saying things like 'Good morning, you look lovely today' and when you're about to go to bed 'Good night, I love you' something like that?
(Ummm....)
Kurama: "Are you telling me to be frivolous like you?"
Sueharu: "Hey! Don't look down on me! It's only a common thing to do once you start dating someone. It can make your love last longer."
(As expected...Sueharu-san has a lot of experience.)
Sueharu: "Awww. I feel bad for Yoshino who ended up with a man who has no knowledge about love."
------Part 4------
Sueharu: "Awww. I feel bad for Yoshino who ended up with a man who has no knowledge about love."
Kurama: "......"
Sueharu: "Ouch! Stop grabbing my head!"
Kurama: "I don't know why, but it made me angry."
Yoshino: "K-Kurama. Let go of him."
When Kurama loosens his fingers as if he doesn't care, Sueharu-san quickly escapes and shrugs his shoulders.
Sueharu: "Well, I guess, the idea of love and romance is different for demons. But your life spans are also a problem. Have you thought about that? It's even serious...no matter how much you care Yoshino, she'll die long before you. Don't tell me you just overlooked that, Kurama?"
I was surprised by the serious tone of the question.
(I had thought about the same thing too.)
(No matter how I try, I can't make Kurama happy for the rest of his life.)
A feeling of sadness washed over me and I waited for Kurama's answer.
Kurama: "I don't think about the future."
Sueharu: "Wow, that's refreshingly flat."
Yoshino: "Really...?"
Kurama: "Humans die long before me. What's the point in worrying about the obvious? I would rather make her happy in every moment of her dream life than spending my time on such things. As long as she smiles till the end, my heart will be filled with the memory of it. Whether it's for hundred or thousand years..."
Yoshino(blushing): "Kurama...."
(I didn't think it that way.)
I was deeply moved and I couldn't think what to say back.
Yoshino(smiling): "Thank you."
Kurama(smiling): "Yeah."
-----For that first time, he didn't tell not to thank him like he always does.
Sueharu: "!!!! ......Thank you very much for the food. I'm afraid I have some business. So I have to go for now."
Sueharu-san smiles and stands up.
Sueharu: "Oh, Yoshino!"
Yoshino(still blushing): "....? Yes."
Sueharu: "May you live long and prosper. But if you ever get tired of Kurama, you can always come to me, okay?"
Yoshino(blushing): "Eeeehhh!!!???"
Kurama(glares): "Get lost."
As if he ignored Kurama's words, Sueharu-san turns and winks at me before leaving.
(Maybe you were just joking, but you're a sinful man in many ways, Sueharu-san.)
After we were alone, Kurama turned to me.
Kurama: "That man is a tricky one. Don't let him get to you too much, Yoshino."
Yoshino: "I think Sueharu-san was just joking, so don't worry about it."
Kurama: "That man talks a lot of nonsense. But he's very popular with human women."
Kurama touches my cheek and stares at me.
Kurama: "Also, is it necessary to tell you regularly that I love you like he said?"
------Part 5------
Kurama: "Also, is it necessary to tell you regularly that I love you like he said?"
Yoshino(blushing): "......It is natural."
(I didn't know Kurama had the personality to say this kind of thing outright before we became romantically involved.)
My cheeks get hot from embarrassment and joy.
Kurama: "You're completely flushed."
Yoshino(blushing): ".....It's because of Kurama."
Kurama: "I'm not sure if I like that idea....but if you want to hear it, I'll give it to you."
Yoshino: "Ah!"
He holds me in his arms, and his masculine face gets closer making my heart beat faster.
Kurama: "I love you. You are the one and only toy that can fill me up and the first and last thing I'll ever give my love to."
The words were whispered in my ear and it struck straight to my heart like an arrow.
(.....His love confession is exactly like him, ARROGANT! But....)
I also want to be bold enough to offer my feelings in words.
Yoshino(blushing):: "I feel the same for you too, Kurama.....I love you, so much."
Kurama: "-----I know."
(Eh?)
He scooped up my chin with his fingertips and observed my flushed face.
Kurama: "It's certainly not bad to say it in words. It mysteriously fills my heart."
Yoshino(blushing): "Ah...mm....?"
Kurama: "Yes. And the look on your face is telling me how much you loved it."
(He is really teasing me now!)
Yoshino(blushing): "...Kurama is so weird sometimes.."
Kurama: "Then I suppose you like weird men like me. But it's too late to run away now."
Once again, Kurama puts his lips to my ear, this time without laughing.
Kurama: "Yoshino. I will kill anyone who harms you. If you leave me, I will kill you."
(Ah.....)
His red eyes were clear in the sunlight and looked at me without blinking.
I could tell by the quiet expression on his face that he meant what he said.
Yoshino: "........too noisy."
Kurama: "Don't like it?"
Yoshino(blushing): "I don't mind. But I'm asking you to relax because it's impossible for me to leave Kurama as well."
(I can do my job as a pharmacist, wherever I want. So I'll live along with Kurama for the rest of my life, happily.)
Kurama(smiling): "Then, everything is okay."
Our lips meet and we kissed deeply as if we were attracted to each other.....
Yoshino: "......Mmm.."
I was pushed down, and he stole my breath.
(I'm sure our relationship is different from that of a normal man and woman in love.)
(But I'm sure this is Kurama's way of love.)
The proof of this is that I now embrace boundless happiness.
Our lips quietly separated and we gazed at each other.
Kurama: "I've decided."
Yoshino(blushing): ".....What?"
Kurama: "I'll be a better man to be worthy of your love."
Kurama was excited thinking about his new resolution.
Kurama: "I'm going to learn how to behave in a way that's so in love that no one will tell me what to do."
(Oh my....)
I'm really curious to see Kurama's idea of 'behaving like a lover.'

i am VERY late to the party, but here are my thoughts on ... and just like that:
samantha: i'm probably the only one in the world who didn't miss her at all. i liked her on the original show despite her flaws like all of the girls, because none of them are perfect and they have the power of making us hate and love them depending on the episode.
however, i feel like samantha's arc has already been explored through 6 seasons and 2 movies. what else is there to show about her? hormone therapy? done. samantha in love with a guy who treats her like shit? done. samantha dating a younger guy for a while and then proving herself to be impossible to have a long term relationship? done. dating a woman? done.
i also think the idea of having her fall out with carrie an interesting idea. a lot of people in our lives come and go, even the ones we always thought would be with us, it is just part of life, but they could definitely have come up with a better excuse than that.
i also believe if a second season ever happens, there's a big chance of samantha returning, i know about the fight between the two actresses but everyone's got a price, and if she does come back, i'm sure they'll use her cancer being back as the reason why she pushed everyone away.
carrie: big's death broke my heart in a way no other fictional character has ever done. i was just finishing the second movie marathon when the first episode was released and i swear i got upset for two straight days. not only it did break my heart to think of a charming, handsome and seductive man like big dying, but i've felt so betrayed to have engaged into nearly 20 years of their love story while i binge watched the show in a few months to have them end like that??? seriously???
after the first two episodes, i was hoping the show would keep its quality, as it began emotional and full of positive points, and then i had to suffer through lots of episodes of carrie having to deal with rich people problems like selling one fancy apartment and buying another one worth millions of dollars.
i know they had the intention of showing all the stages of grief and all of that, but honestly, carrie showed more sadness when she lost her pair of manolos in a party than when her husband big died.
miranda: i gotta admit miranda has always been my favorite, and i defend her whenever necessary so if you are team steve you can just skip this text. that being said, here we go:
WHY ON EARTH WERE PEOPLE SO SURPRISED WHEN MIRANDA WAS UNHAPPY AND WANTED TO DIVORCE?!
like, did these people all watch the same series i did? because well, bear with me for a second:
miranda had a baby she never wanted, with a man she never wanted and had to leave her life behind in the city to live in a house she never really liked, and then 20 years later people start wondering why she is so unhappy with a husband she is no longer in love or attracted to and the cute little baby grew into a gross teenage boy with zero respect.
miranda always wanted more and i think she deserved better than steve. i know he is a nice guy, a great father and all of that, but it is clear to me she never really loved him, maybe she did as friend and partner but not a flaming passion to shake her to her core. they had a lot of affection and respect for each other because of brady but overall her sudden passion for him in season 4 or 5 i dont remember exactly was mainly because of his fatherhood skills as she realized she needed a lot of help with raising a baby. and of course the crazy jealousy she felt when he was happily dating another woman is such a tv show cliche of feeling territorial of another person (pretty much like ross and rachel from friends whenever ross met someone new and rachel suddenly decided she still loved him)
personally, i've always envisioned miranda as a lesbian/bisexual so i was so excited at the perspective of her getting in a non-straight relationship, and that leads us to another *very* delicate point of the show:
che diaz!!!!
i have nothing against che diaz, and to be honest the internet made them out to be a lot worse than they really were on the show. of course there were things i thought that we're either too much or food dumb, like the fact che has absolutely no personality other than smoke weed and remind everyone every five seconds they are a comedian. for example in big's funeral, did everybody really think it is normal and accepted a person smoke weed and offer it to a minor?! not to mention the stand up comedy show episode, it was one if the worst and second hand embarrassing things i've ever watched in my entire life, and i don't understand why a person so intelligent like miranda could be so impressed by a character so shallow and poor-developed like that. i mean, if she had fallen in love with her beautiful, smart and bad ass professor, i would have totally understood her, but che? meh
though it is nice miranda is experimenting and opening herself to new experiences. the fingering in the kitchen scene while her friend in need was just like there, a few feet away, was not cool at all!!!
i don't care much about the cheating part, as steve was the first one to cheat on her in the movie, and unlike miranda who was in love with che, he did it only for sex, which is a very shallow reason to betray the person you claim to love.
when they had their divorce talk, steve had a great point that i have to agree with: miranda always says he is not enough for her but runs back to him when she feels insecure. i really hope she won't do that, for her sake and also steve's even if it is obvious her relationship with che will never work because che is pretty much the non binary version of a fuckboy.
charlotte: she got the best husband in the whole wide world and there's absolutely no argument about it.
i also love charlotte has absolutely the most embarrassing scenes and it was amazing to see her as a mom and dealing with her kids and how different they are from each other and also from what she expected them. lily blossomed into a beautiful teen and her tampon saga was hilarious, the scene she walked on her mom about to give harry a bj and she was still innocent to believe in her mom's dumb excuse was adorable to be honest.
however, the whole rose/rock arc was so poorly developed and rushed, it simply ended up seeming a shallow fit a spoiled teenager would throw in order to get attention, especially after the whole trouble charlotte went through to organize her bar mitzvah and rock simply refused to go and do her part. they could have developed that in so many ways, and instead, they wasted time with lisa todd wexley who added NOTHING to the story other than being another rich mom. i mean, her kids are not even charlotte's kids' friends, why is she even there?
but overall, charlotte's development is the best one through the show and the movies, and i have a soft spot for kristin davis because she dated liev schreiber in the early 2000s

Meet Emily
Request: this one
Emily x reader. Reader and Emily visit the reader’s very homophobic small town. (I know it’s very random but I’m curious as to how Emily would handle it.) Thanksxx :)
Content warnings: homophobia, cursing, offensive slurs, angst, sexual reference
Emily Prentiss is the love of your life and you're the love of hers. Plain and simple. You have no doubt that she's the woman you want the spend your life with and you certainly aren't ashamed of her or your sexuality. In fact, you show her off, like she deserves, any chance you get. Which is why it's so hard to tell her why you don't want to accept your parents invitation to come back home and reconnect. More specifically, it's hard to tell her why you haven't told your parents about your beautiful, wonderful girlfriend of 8 months. You never got the chance to come out to your parents. You were... found out. When people hear that, they think of two clumsy teenagers experimenting, tangled up in some sexual endeavor. But in reality, they found a diary back in high school about a girl you liked. You were past what happened but the screaming, the slurs, the complete and utter rejection of who you are... That gut wrenching feeling never escaped your heart. A soft hand is suddenly clasping yours and you look up to see Emily smiling at you.
"Hey Y/N, what's wrong?"
You laugh and shake your head.
"Fucking profilers."
"So something is wrong. You can tell me whatever it is baby."
Spitting it out before you can talk yourself out of it, you avoid eye contact and stroke her thumb nervously.
"My parents invited me to go back to my hometown, they- they want to... reconnect. They also said they'd love to meet my significant other if I have one."
Her lovely face softened and she beamed, showing off her plump lips and bright teeth. But like you said before, fucking profilers. She immediately realized it must not be a good thing and her face fell.
"I'm assuming there's bad news too?" She asked in a careful tone, lifting your hand to press a light kiss to your knuckles.
"They found out about me being into girls high school and they weren't thrilled to say the least. Neither was most of my town when word got around." Sighing sadly at the memory you add, "It's the reason I got the hell out come graduation and never looked back."
"Oh darling..." Emily's eyes met yours and you involuntarily let a tear slip down your cheek. You were ready for this. For her to call you pathetic, to be angry, to leave. But she threw your expectations out the door when she finished her sentence. "My mother isn't exactly supportive of my sexual orientation either. And you know what? I say we accept the invitation and show everyone that love is fucking love. And we are madly in it." That gorgeous smile spread across her face again and you flashed one back before pressing a grateful kiss to her lips. She returned it hungrily before pulling away when you mumble against her lips,
"I love you so much Em."
"I love you too Y/N."
Hotch approves the time off and you book a flight to the place you fought so desperately to leave behind, hopeful that this could be a new beginning. Emily soothes your clear nerves on the way there and when you get to your old street, you take a deep breath and turn to look at the amazing woman next to you for a final boost of courage. She curled her midnight hair and chose a white summer dress that accentuates her body perfectly. How could they not love her? Her beauty is breathtaking and once they talk to her? They'll see how funny and smart she is. And you'll definitely brag about all the times she's saved your ass in the field and the people she's put away. Taking her hand in yours and clasping it firmly, you walk up to the house but freeze in your tracks when you see what your parents have in store for you. A welcome back party, with all your homophobic bastard neighbors gaping at you and Emily, the judgement and disgust written everywhere. Your grip on her hand doesn't waver and hers tightens as if to tell everyone "I'm hers and she is mine. And we're both goddamn proud of it." As you make your way to your parents, you can make out the whispers.
"Maybe they're... good friends."
"I always knew little Y/L/N was a dyke."
"That is not right."
"It's disgusting..."
Emily stands up tall while you let your hair fall and cover your face, each step emphasizing more regret at even showing up. She always was the brave one. The badass. She is one hell of a woman. And that's all it takes to remind you that she's so much more important than the close minded pieces of shit that think they can judge what you two have. The words practically scream pride as you greet your parents.
"Hey Mom and Dad. It's good to see you, it was really nice of you to organize this! This is my girlfriend, Emily Prentiss." Emily extends a hand but neither of your parents take it.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Y/L/N, I-"
"Get out."
Your mother's eyes scan the crowd of onlooking, horrified neighbors as if assessing the damage you're doing to her reputation and your father looks at you with undeniable anger.
"Excuse me?" The look on Em's face tells you she's close to chewing them out but you don't give her the chance. No one disrespects your girlfriend. No one.
"Who the hell do you think you are? I came back here because you invited me. And to think, I thought you were going to be more accepting now. I thought just being your daughter was enough to be accepted and loved but I guess fucking not. Wipe that look off your face because Emily is a goddess of a woman and I'm in love with her. I'll shout that from the fucking rooftops without a care in the world because I'm damn lucky to have her. You and all the other assholes in this town can go fuck themselves. I'm glad I can leave this shithole knowing that I told you, you'll never be half the woman Em is. Don't even think about ever calling me again. And to everyone staring at us, this is what love is. Two people who care for each other above all else and you know what? Not a single other person in the world matters. So take a good, hard look at us, especially those of you that are like me ashamed of who you are because of the internalized god awful opinions this crap town has. It'll be okay. Because love is love, regardless of gender. You'll find your Emily one day and no one can take that from you." A smile to yourself is hard to contain because for once around your parents, you're proud to be a woman who loves another woman. (It helps that you happen to have the best woman by your side.) Loud and clear, Emily says with love and adoration,
"That's my girl."
You give her a passionate, desperate kiss and grasp her hair in front of everyone before grinning and leaving the way you came in. This time however, there's no fear or doubt. There's only you and Emily. And of course, the hotel room you booked just in case... you two are definitely putting the bed to good use tonight.

Angel of cards (12/16)
Trigger Warning: no.
Summary: Joker, Mr. J, anarchist psychopath, Tom Hiddleston. He had many nicknames. Joker was Gotham’s most dangerous and insightful man, with sharp makeup and horribly memorable scars on his face in the form of a smile. He was absolutely crazy and deadly. No one knows his real identity and everyone is afraid of his cruel jokes. But what happens when he becomes obsessed with an ordinary girl?
She belongs to him. No one can take her away from him. Even The Batman.
Chapter twelve: point of no return
"So Harvey Dent didn't make it home," the Gotham Police Commissioner said in a calm, but slightly anxious, and broken voice.
Gordon's brow furrowed and he only drew it closer to the bridge of his nose, clasping his hands together. The Joker, who was now in the room with the lights off and James, only smiled slightly.
Did this wonderful commissar have any negative feelings for him? It's really wonderful, really. The Joker, just the Joker, always found Gordon a very nice and interesting person. In the Komi Republic, to be more precise, the only person in whom that very piece of light remained in a dark and unenlightened city.
Even Batman himself, this personification of "kindness and honor" was more likely... just a toy that, although it wanted to protect Gotham from crime, but which will definitely cross the very point of no return and madness... He just needs to be pushed to do it.
"Of course not," the Joker said, smiling. Damn, he thought, starting to brush his scars more. The handcuffs, which rubbed the skin and made it difficult to touch the scars, were extremely difficult. And why are they so big?
"What did you do to him?" in a steely voice, without ceasing to be serious, the man asked, to which the Joker raised his eyebrows and made an actor's surprised face, slightly opening his mouth.
Although he couldn't hide the fact that Gordon liked him too much. He looked a lot like the Joker's father. Not at his stepfather, not at his beloved mother's boyfriends, but at his own father, who always helped him until he died.
The Joker didn't really remember the cause of his father's death. Either because of the accident, or he was killed in an alley, or he committed suicide himself. He didn't remember. I was too small then. Nor did his mother help him to console himself afterward.
"I? I was here," the Joker clearly said, gesturing at Gordon, who was concentrating, unlike the man himself, on absorbing all the information that was being conveyed to him. "Who did you leave him with? With your people?" The Joker smacked his lips, starting to scratch his hands and trying to make it not visible. Unfortunately, his gloves were taken away. What an injustice, isn't it?
"If they're still your people, of course, not Moroni," the damn Italian guy, who's playing the hell out of himself. The same to me, a criminal authority, that even during the day is afraid to attack.
The Joker smiled at Gordon, who took a deep breath. That's right, contempt. Yes, and a misunderstanding. Didn't they understand that he wanted to make the world a better place? And that was the difference between him and Batman.
"It doesn't bother you, Commissioner... realizing how lonely you really are? " loneliness... what do these people know about real loneliness and misunderstanding? That's right, nothing. Although, when you get lost and all your loved ones abandon you, you realize that it's time for the exodus. "Do you feel responsible for Harvey Dent's current situation?" it was a quick throw-in. He didn't care about Harvey Dent, though. Yes, he was also interesting, but if you compare all his advantages with those of Gordon, you can immediately understand who has more of that light in the dark.
"Where is he?" it was obvious that Gordon was trying to restrain himself and not yell at the criminal present, with whom he had to babysit and interrogate. It's just a pity that James didn't know that this most ruthless criminal had saved him.
"What time is it?" he asked quickly, trying to distract attention.
"What's the difference?" asked Gordon, seemingly oblivious to the Joker's random throw-ins.
"Depending on the time, he may be in one place or several," he said, prioritizing and moving his cuffed hands as if to indicate something.
"Since we decided to play games... I'll get a cup of coffee," Gordon jerked his chair around, which was a little jarring, and headed for the lighted door, tugging on the handle.
"The game' good cop, bad cop', guess what? " the criminal smiled and straightened his green hair with shaking hands.
"Not really," Jim smiled for the first time. A pleasant smile, Joker noted, just like his father's.
***
"Daddy, daddy, look, I'm a pirate!" exclaimed the little curly-haired boy, drawing from his bosom a small sword as tall as he was, and pointing at his father with it. The boy towered over his father, standing on the couch.
The man just smiled sweetly. He considered his son the most important thing in his life. A ray of sunshine, not a child. A kid who deserves better.
The man's smile faded for a second. His mind began to recognize the unpleasant thoughts and he looked away, looking at his hand, which had only a couple of badges left on it. One week or seven days left. Not much to catch up on.
"You will be my navigator," the boy said proudly, sheathing his sword in an imaginary scabbard. The man smiled and knelt ostentatiously, raising his hands in the air as if in surrender.
"But who are you, my dear boy Tom?" asked his father, with a mocking smile. Tom smiled fondly and drew his sword again, pointing upward.
"I'm your captain, and if you don't listen to me, I'll kill you!" the boy exclaimed loudly, raising his eyebrows and opening his eyes wider with excitement. He poked his father with his sword, and the latter, like an actor, fell from his knees, falling down as if struck by a toy sword.
"Dad, are you okay?" Tom threw the sword aside and ran to his father, sitting on his knees and leaning forward to face him. The man lay motionless until he suddenly opened his eyes abruptly and raised his hands to his son's sides, whose gaze changed from alarmed to smiling-frightened.
"Gotcha, little imp," the father whispered softly, beginning to tickle his son. There was a loud laugh from little Tom that couldn't be stopped.
***
"Where are Dent and Blake?" a loud bass voice asked, as if driven through an auto-tune. The Joker looked up. That's right, Batman, how could he forget that he was here.
Oh, how harsh he is now. It's like something out of a superhero movie that Tom loved so much when he was a kid.
Wait, did he say his angel's name? His favorite angel? How dare he, no one can say her name, only himself. And this guy in tights. More precisely, it wasn't a leotard, but it wasn't important at all.
But now he needs to be distracted from that. Is he interested in listening to talk about his angel? No, the Joker would definitely talk to Batman about his angel and maybe...
No, Tom! Don't even think about the Joker's favorite angel! It belongs to him, not to you! The Joker shook his head and licked his lips, scratching his head at the same time. That idiot Tom, you don't come here at the right time. Don't stop the adults from talking.
"That's right, don't stop the adults from talking," the Joker muttered as much as possible. It's a good thing that Bruce Wayne, who is hiding under the mask of Batman, does not have such a developed hearing. It's really nice. "These mafia idiots want to take you out... to bring back the past, " he said, blinking rapidly and repeatedly, licking his lips again, and lowering his head, but not taking his eyes off it. "But I know the truth. The situation is not reversible. You changed everything. Forever, " he shook his head and pointed at the man who had slightly opened his mouth with his hand.
"Why do you want to kill me?" what a languid voice, the Joker noted. Is Batman trying to pick him up? Maybe remind him that he has his favorite angel?
"I don't want to kill you," the Joker said, shaking with laughter. His laughter was too crazy, too selfish, too much... "What will I do without you? Robbing the mafia again? " Suddenly, his sudden laughter came to an end. He adjusted his suspenders with his right hand and shook his head. "No, no. No. No you... you complete me, " as if explaining something to a small child, the Joker said, gesturing with his hands again. Wait, did they take the handcuffs off him? He looked down. Really, how nice
"You're a creature who kills for money," Batman said sternly. The Joker saw his lips tighten. Another person expressing contempt for him? What kind of bad luck is this, the Joker asked theatrically in his head.
"Don't talk like everyone else. You're not like that, even though you want to be, " the criminal advised, as if saying something obvious. Well, it might have been obvious to him, but it wasn't obvious to Batman. Although, maybe the Joker was accepting his mental abilities? "To them, you're just crazy... like me. They need you now... and you'll get bored... they'll throw you out like a leper. Their principles, their code... these are just words that are forgotten at the first danger, " the Joker said, watching as Batman's face, or rather only his lower part, twisted his lips more and more.
Oh, dear, dear Bruce Wayne, why are you so angry?
"They are what the world allows them to be. I'll prove it. When things are bad, these... civilized people... they'll eat each other. I'm not a monster. I can see right through them, " obviously, right? Joker thought, but he hardly expected to be taken by the shirt now. Batman, clearly already angry, leaned him against the wall.
"Where are Dent and Blake?" the man spoke through his teeth. The Joker's mouth dropped open. His jaw was shaking.
"You have rules. Do you think you'll be spared? " he asked, holding onto Batman's strong arms. Hell, really strong. What a strong man he is.
"I have one rule," Bruce said, Oh, sorry, Batman, only pushing the Joker harder against the brick wall.
"That's what you'll have to break to find out the truth."
"Which one?" asked Batman, loosening his grip slightly, as if interested. The Joker could feel his scowl.
"The only reasonable way to live in this world is to live without rules. And today you will break your only rule," lowering the Joker to the floor, Batman only put his foot on his body, pinning him down. Oh, the Joker sighed slightly. No, he rarely felt pain, but now it really hurt. It's unpleasant when you squeeze your stomach with a foot made of some kind of plastic. He laughed hysterically, trying to hide the pain he felt from the world. "There are five minutes left, so you'll have to play my game... If you want to save one of them”, just give him a little push, the Joker thought to herself, and he'll be broken.
"'Them'?" there was so much hopelessness in his voice. It seems that this little rich boy has begun to understand something.
"For a moment, I thought you were right, Dent. When he rushed after her," Batman grabbed the Joker's suit again and pushed him painfully onto the table, quickly closing the door with a chair that only hindered them. Let us at least perform some useful function.
"Look, a. Does Harvey know about you and his baby? Are you in love with my angel after all?" Joker asked casually. Rachel, unlike Dent, had never interested him. An ordinary, boring person who reminded him too much of his mother. Her name was Rachel, wasn't it?
"Where are they?!" the man roared, grabbing the Joker again, but this time throwing him to the floor. At this, the criminal only laughed. How funny it is. Same to him, hero.
"Killing is also a choice," the Joker tries to deny, raising his hand and leaning one on the floor.
"Where are they?!"
"Choose," the man delivered the ultimatum, biting his lips lightly and licking them again, hoping that everything was fine with the makeup. Most likely, it is unlikely to wash off. "Your friend, the district attorney, or his beautiful fiancee. Or maybe you want to bring my angel back to you? You have nothing to threaten me with. All your power is useless, " he was acting psychologically on him. He encouraged me to make this choice in every possible way. On this difficult and disturbing choice. A choice that can affect a large number of people.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you where they are. Both. That's the whole point. You'll have to choose," Batman opened his mouth, looking into the eyes of the possessed man.
This is the point of no return. That moment was the tipping point. He will let the darkness into his heart. The hero who, without blinking once at eye contact with the abyss, looked at it directly, looked away for the first time.

The Asgardian Candidate
Loki/The West Wing FanFiction Crossover
Chapter 1 - “Off To The Races”
“Where did this guy even come from?! How was he not even on our radar?! It's like he appeared out of thin air. I don't even have his last name yet, & what is the deal with those stupid horns?"
Josh Lyman, the deputy chief of staff, questoned as he paced back & forth in the strategy meeting for the president's re-election campaign.
He was just as frustrated as the rest of the west wing senior staff. How could they suddenly be behind in the polls? How had this snuck up on them?
An incumbent president whose popularity was the highest of his term, was now trailing to the mysterious candidate Loki. Sure he was tall, charming, & handsome; but he was a complete newcomer to the world of politics.
“I have no idea, but I need to know what to tell the press about our numbers. We dropped 10 points to him since he entered the race 3 days ago. They'll also be expecting confirmation on the debate schedule too." C.J. responded, nervously tapping her pen against her briefing book.
She turned to Toby & Sam hoping for any hint of an answer. Toby was slumped in his chair staring into space, seemingly in disbelief of their current standing. Sam leaned forward holding his hands to his face wheels visibly turning in his head.
"Maybe it was a bad poll? Maybe we are at least still within the margin of error?" Sam offered, grasping at any straw he could find.
"Oh well that makes me feel better, maybe we are only losing by 3-5 points overnight. It’s The Washington Post Sam, not Cosmo. Even when they’re wrong they’re not that wrong." Josh snarked back, his fists clenching in his hair.
“Donna!!!" He bellowed without even turning to the open office door "did you find anything yet? Please tell me you found something on this guy".
Donna, his assistant, quickly scurried into the room carrying a manila file folder with papers sticking out from every angle. "As a matter of fact Josh I did." Before she could even extend her arm to hand him the file Josh snatched it away & began rifling through the papers. "Your welcome" she said sarcastically before excusing herself from the office.
“Alright, let's see... Full name is Loki Laufeyson. Family includes mother & father, mother is deceased, as well as an older brother named Thor. Not seeing anything about the horns. Originally from... Asgard. That can't be right can it? Is there an Asgard, Oregon or Kentucky or something I don’t know about?”
One by one they looked at each other in confusion. "Wait, does that mean he's not a natural born citizen? Doesn't that automatically disqualify him?" Toby asked with a sudden interest in the conversation.
“Don't get your hopes up to high on that." A voice interjected from the office doorway. Leo McGarry, the president’s chief of staff, had finally arrived at the meeting. Despite having called it himself a last minute call had kept him late. He already looked exhausted leaning against the doorway of Josh’s office.
“We are now in uncharted waters people. The Supreme Court just issued a statement confirming he is qualified to run for president. Because Asgard isn't technically another country they are allowing it. The chief justice wrote the majority opinion himself. Unless or until Congress can pass an amendment declaring Asgard & the rest of these new places or planets I guess as sovereign states & they are not subject to our national laws. He can run."
The momentary hopes of the staff now dashed, they shifted in their seats & settled in for a long night of oppo research. They still had the rest of the papers from Donna’s folder to go through. They wanted to learn everything the could about this Loki Laufeyson, & the sooner the better.
As he crossed his arms against his chest & dropped his head back, Toby pondered allowed "There has to be something we can use against this guy. We just have to find it. He may be new to politics, but everyone has a past. Everyone's got a weakness."
——————————
Reclined behind his desk in his campaign office, feet up & hands clasped behind his head. Loki closed his eyes & listened to the staffers in the other room busy scuttling about.
If he had known it would be this easy he would have run for president years ago. He smiled at the thought of the chaos he had already caused. Just a few days into joining the race for president of the United States & the polls were already turned on their head. He hardly even had to use his magic. Many people had supported or joined his campaign willingly, even excitedly. It seemed the idea of burning the current system to the ground appealled to a surprisingly large sect of voters.
If it weren't for all the menial tasks of campaigning he probably could have done it single handedly, but the God of mischief had no patience or interest in making signs or phone banking. So he would tolerate the Midgardians doing that work for him. He liked to think of them as his own little army.
Really they were more like rats, or some other form of small bothersome creature, but for the time being they were what he had to work with.
They would help him finally ascend to his throne.
A sudden knock on the door snapped him from his thoughts.
"Sir, the White House press briefing s on." a small timid girl said through the barely cracked door before quickly closing it again.
The staff had already learned not to bother Loki in his office unless it was absolutely necessary, & for the most part to only speak when spoken to. Only a select few staffers were exempt from this rule. One staffer who managed everyone else. Relaying orders & crafting policy, something Loki had very little real interest in. Also two others who handled his press requests.
Loki sat upright in his chair careful to not disturb his golden horned crown, & straightened his emerald green waistcoat & well fitted black suit jacket. His clothing immediately made him stand out from the current president, & he was meticulous about his appearance. Call it vanity if you must, but Loki knew that he was his own best advertising.
He reached for the remote & turned on the TV in the corner of the room. His smile widened as he heard the topic of discussion was already about his own candidacy.
His competitor’s press secretary was breaking the news to the press that the Supreme Court had ruled in Loki's favor. That move had required a little magical coercion, but it was a pittance to pay to eliminate his only real potential legal challenge.
He listened more intently as the woman behind the podium, C.J. (at least he thought that was her name), began to wrap up.
"President Bartlet respects the court’s decision, & maintains that he welcomes the competition. He firmly believes the American people deserve to make their own decision about our countrie’s path forward. With that I can also now confirm that the president has officially agreed to the 3 pre-scheduled debates with Mr. Laufeyson. As you know the 1st debate is set for just over 3 weeks. That's it for today guys, thanks." With that she closed her notebook & briskly exited, leaving the press shouting questions behind her.
Loki could tell he had Bartlet's staff on pins & needles already. He could practically feel their nervousness through the screen. They were right where he wanted them.
Even the press seemed to be ever aware of Loki's larger than life presence, even when he was no where near.
“Glorious" he whispered under his breath as his lips curled into a chesire cat grin & his green eyes flashed with a bright gold shimmer. He was going to enjoy every second of this.

Firstly to start off with, ummm a white kurtan, yes please, I know this bitch looks good whatever hes wearing, so it dont matter, BUT THE BLACK TANK TOP OOFFFF YOU BETTER STOP, ITS NOT GOOD FOR MY HEALTH. But moving on, I've finished reading the whole thing now, and I'm writing this in notes, so if you're getting thing like 40 minutes later it's because I'm drafting my ask. Basically I'm just gonna skim read it again and just give you my thoughts and any feedback, if that's okay with you, you can ignore this if you want to, I completely understand. I dont mind at all 😊😊
Ok to start off with, the exposition was really good, you've set the tone and introduced the Ackerman family really beautifully. When I read it initially the fact that Levi did not want a family or to get married was quite emphasised upon to me, and I'm really looking forward for the inevitable development and how his view changes as the chapters go on. I also love how you introduced Farlan and Isabel, and lightly touched upon how they met, you didnt go into too much detail and I really like that, it kept me focused on the actual story itself, which is about Levi and not Farlan. And Farlan wanting tto marry her 😢😢. I think it's really really sweet and I cant wait to see more of them. I love it so much.
The transition from setting the scene to their father being poisoned was not something I was expecting and made me go oh shit he dead. Part of me felt like it was moving too quick, but the other part of me loved the shock factor of it since it happened so suddenly. I didnt think of it as too big of an issue though, it was still enjoyable to read.
The whole encounter with the peasant guy made me wonder just how many more people there are like him, that dislike the Ackermans and would try to kill them. And whether y/n would be one of them. Also I got a bit confused as to who was speaking whether it was Farlan or Levi, but I read the sentence again and it was fine, I understood, so maybe I was just being a dumb bitch.
Oooh a quick point Levi sympathising with the criminal was really touching and made me feel warm and gooey. It shows that hes not a dick and does actually care about his people. But it also shows he has clear boundaries and is really firm. He will make a great leader in the future.
YESSS BODYGUARD ERWINNN!!!!! I WAS LITERALLY TELLING MY FRIEND THE OTHER DAY, ERWIN AND LEVI BODYGUARD AU IS THE BESTT. YES SWEETIE UGH ITS FANTASTIC. IVE SAID THIS BEFORE BUT IM SAYING IT AGAIN I LOVE IT.
Carrying on, I love the whole Erwin/Levi/Farlan interaction, of course Erwin knows everything, why wouldnt he, hes a boss ass bitch. Also again, reaffirming that Levi does not want a wife, nOicE. Really builds up his future development.
The difference in Levi's and Farlan's reaction is comical. Ones there waving and smiling and the other ones there like fuck off leave me alone. ALSO WHOEVER SAID THEY'LL GIVE UP THEIR VIRGINTY SAME GURLL SAMEEE, I WOULD TOO YOURE NOT ALONE. AND YES FARLAN IT IS FUNNY, IT MADE ME LAUGH.
Awww the people are so nice, offering things for free, that's how you know you're loved by your people, I rate it, rate Levi sm.
Okay my guy, imma need you stop for a second and relax. Taking your top of??? And your scarf??? Okay big man, I see you, I see you, looking fine af. Ahhh I love imagining this in my brain, so stimulating.
Anyways, Y/N'S HERE NOWWW YES BITCHHH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE, TURN IT UPPPP.
Nanaba being my sister is absolutely exquisite *chefs kiss*. I really thought you'd maybe put Petra, and then Petra would like Levi as well, but no its Nanaba and I fucking love her so so much. Also not really relevant, but I dont have any older sisters, but I do have older cousin sisters and I call my favourite one didi mooni (I think that's how you spell it, or muni idk) and yeah it just reminded me of her. I haven't seen her in so so long because of the pandemic and I miss her :(
Ah. So. Y/N does hate the royals. I wanna know why?? Does she think they're overrated?? A bad experience maybe?? Everyone else seems to love them. I'll just have to wait and see I guess.
ALSO PLEASE TELL ME THE LITTLE KID WAS MIKASA!!! IM HOPING SO SO MUCH ITS MIKASA, IT PROBABLY ISNT BECAUSE SHES AN ACKERMAN HERSELF BUT I CAN STILL HOPE!!! SHES SO CUTEEE AND ADORABLE AWWWW WEVIIII 🥺🥺🥺
THEY SELL TEAAA AHHH ITS A LOVE STORY BOUND TO HAPPEN. AND HE HASNT TRIED THEM YETT!!!! YES OMGGG TEA DATES, THEY CAN BOTH SIT DOW AND SHE CAN INTRODUCE HIM TO NEW SHITT AHHHH MY HEARTTTT 🥰🥰🥰IM GETTING WAYYYY AHEAD OF MYSELF.I need to calm down.
The whole meeting with Levi and Y/N was so adorable. It felt really short and I want more, but its okayyy, hopefully there are more chapters. Them locking eyes, him following her to get the leaves, HIM HELPING HER PICK UP THE BLOODY LEAVES, THE HAIR PART REMINDS ME OF IN BOLLYWOOD MOVIES WHEN THE PROTAGS HAIR GETS STUCK IN THE GUYS WATCH OR THEIR DUPATTA OR SOMETHING. OMGG Y/N IS ONE LUCKY BITCH.
Also since you havent specified the race of y/n, just wanted to ask is she Indian?? Or it it unspecified?? You wrote that she blushed bright red and many dark skinned readers wont be able relate. So yeah I'm not too sure whether that was intentional or not, I'm sorry if I'm mistaken though. I mean no harm at all.
Farlan's relationship with Levi is just beautiful, like I know I'm using the word beautiful a lot, but their broship is immaculate. Something else that I love.
Both Levi and Y/N not wanting to get married is hilarious. I really like how you've characterised her, shes really fierce, independent and seems really kind and caring as well. I really like this Y/N, very family oriented.
If I was her dad I would've taken the money. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ Not complaining about it because my dad would've done the exact same thing, but if I was him I wouldve taken it. Sis is broke, sis needs all the money she can get.
Both parties questioning Levi and Y/N is hilarious, fucking Erwin, I love him so much I stg. I'd sacrifice my life for him. Hes best boy 😇😇
I feel like this is really really long already so I'll quickly sum everything up, if you got this far you deserve a clap on the back and a medal, because I've basically just waffled. I really really enjoyed this chapter, it was very good in terms of introductions and getting to know the characters, I loved the initial meeting between levi and y/n and it did make my heart flutter quite a bit so that's that. I dont have any complaints really, just small minor things I've mentioned before and that's it. I really look forward to the coming chapters!!! Thank you so so much for writing it. Please make sure you're taking regular breaks and keeping hydrated and healthy. Thanks sweetie xxx 🥰🥰🥰
I’ve read this WHOLE thing..twice. I can’t stop smiling omf you’re so sweet! But, yeah minor shit I didn’t mention and I left it up to reader. Like the skin tone, sheesh. I don’t want any problems with that, I just said red blush to signify embarrassment. Reader is reader no matter what.
Aren’t we all broke af? But I liked the idea of the father being humble about it. Lol. Idk.
I don’t want to get into too much detail because that will obviously ruin the story but I love your ideas. Tea dates?! How cute! Erwin is the best, of course. He knows ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) and he’s the kind of person who would follow his princes no matter what. Till the end, you know?
As I said, highly inspired by Bollywood movies lol.
You took your time and wrote all of this and I’m so fucking happy that you did. I can’t wait for all of you to see the upcoming chapters. I hope that you’re staying happy and hydrated as well. Also, happy Shivratri! (If you celebrate for it) and to everyone else celebrating.
-Caddy.

jack kline having two older siblings -- kevin tran and claire novak [like, im bringing kevin back to l i f e because the writers are always doing him wrong] and they sneak out at night and the tree of them sleep in a shared treehouse together sometimes and and and they'll have a really nice car [i'll probably take one from the fast and furious movies]
I can 100000% get behind them being siblings! (Also sorry I didn’t get to this yesterday, but I had many thoughts and wanted to actually take the time to write them out skdjsk)
• Kevin lives before this by banishing Gadreel instead of Gadreel killing him. Because he deserved better than that!! They really did do him so dirty ://
• Once things settled down with the tablets Kevin had a lot more freedom, so he probably travels between the bunker, and his mom’s home. Taking turns staying at both. (He would go on a few hunts with the Winchester’s at one point + be completely useless and end up staying at the bunker and helping from there instead but that’s not of import for the Jack + Kevin + Claire headcanons).
• The first time he meets Jack it would be before Castiel returned. I like the idea of Jack chilling in the library or war room watching some sy-fy movie that he found on Netflix or Sam recommended and Kevin just welcomes himself like usual
• The Winchester’s are much too self involved and probably didn’t bother telling Kevin that Jack had been born, even though he knew that Lucifer was having a son and that was terrifying to him.
• ”Hello. I’m Jack”
“Lucifer’s son?!”
Kevin internally: “you can’t just ask people if they’re the son of Satan. C’mon man”
• Kevin’s lowkey terrified at first considers leaving then and there, but ends up staying and is fairly distant from Jack.
• but then Kevin hears the way Sam seems to truly believe in him. Sees first hand that Jack is truly terrified of being like his father, and that makes the kid a lot more likable
• plus maybe Kevin found seeing Jack struggle to tie his shoes before he got his Velcro’s to be endearing. He seemed more like a kid than evil.
• The first time they actually talk is in the kitchen while Jack is eating cookie crunch at like,,, 3am
• it’s canon that Jack doesn’t require much sleep + I headcanon that Kevin has major sleep troubles after everything with the tablets, so maybe they make midnight snacking/movies a thing they do together on the regular?? And that’s when they really start to bond?
• and Jack learns to cling onto anyone who doesn’t seem to immediately hate him because of how quickly Dean made his mind up about him
• Also I like the idea that Sam does try to like tutor Jack on some school stuff like math/reading/history etc so he has a better understanding of the knowledge if it ever does become necessary, but a lot of the times he just,,, doesn’t have the time to. And Kevin would really pick up the slack and probably teach Jack what he could
• By the time that Jack met Claire I imagine that Castiel would be back
• At first I imagine things between them would be really strained— or at the very least from Claire’s end it would be
• Seeing Castiel father someone else (because he’s possessing Jimmy’s vessel) MUST be painful af
• She probably takes her anger about the situation out on Jack to an extent despite it not being his fault
• Jack’s upset thinking that there’s something wrong with him/she doesn’t like him when that’s really not the case
• Castiel probably has to explain to Jack why she’s upset, and Jack takes it a lot less personal after that
• Insert Claire & Castiel heart to heart as well about how Cas cares immensely about her & that she should try to go easier on Jack
• She offers Jack a 3 musketeers as a peace offering and Jack is ECSTATIC that things seem to be going better
• they still have their moments of being tense/Claire struggling with it but for the most part things are in the right direction
• it takes awhile for things with Jack & Claire to get to a good place, but I could see them texting one another fairly often and not seeing each other in person much at first— maybe they facetime? Claire teaches Jack about memes— he says “OK Boomer” to Dean because she told him to it’s DEVASTATING for Dean— Sam and Kevin would be SO ENTERTAINED— If Castiel is there he’s confused as to what it means/why Dean seems angry
• Also Jack and Claire??? Mlm wlw solidarity (bc Jack is gay and no one can take that headcanon from me— like he’s not really interested in anyone but I love the idea of him having a fairly innocent crush on some guy he meets and wanting to hold his hand yknow?)
• When Kevin and Claire first meet they’re both kind of indifferent/tolerate each other because of Jack
• Kevin would lowkey feel left out because Claire and Jack are both like Castiel’s adopted kid to an extent
• Claire lowkey feels left out because Kevin and Jack already seem fairly close
• so it’s just,,,, kind of awkward at first Bc theyre not trying to do this high school jealousy bullshit because they’re adults (even though at moments they are kind of still childish because they can be with one another and that ability was ripped from them so early)
• Kevin and Claire eventually would probably be able to bond about having a normal life at one point only to have it ripped away from them
• they’re both v snarky at times, and probably bicker about EVERYTHING— because of the way they bicker sometimes people comment about Claire and Kevin being like an old married couple/a good possible couple and they’re both DISGUSTED IMMEDIATELY when they hear that
• Claire has always considered herself the “cool” person and is lost as to how to she ended up being so close to these nerds— like she has an existential crisis while watching Kevin and Jack bicker about Star Wars (which she actually does enjoy once she watches)
• The three of them are really protective of one another— specifically Kevin and Claire over Jack because he’s the youngest, and most often in serious danger— but he’s just as protective over them and Kevin & Claire are protective over each other a lot too
• Everyone around them is so PLEASED they get along like they do because they all had their childhoods ripped from them and deserve some sort of friendship/happiness
•They also probably have a group chat that they text each other on constantly when they can’t see each other in person
• Claire and Kevin’s favorite pastime is to playfully make fun of Sam & Dean— Jack is confused at first but learns that it’s all in good fun quickly
• also something I want to add is that while Castiel doesn’t view Kevin his kid the same way he views Claire and Jack
• Castiel feels protective of him because Kevin’s a prophet of the lord. It was heavens job to protect him and they failed MISERABLY. So now he takes it as his personal duty
• and tbh I could see Castiel in time especially when he sees how close he is to Jack and Claire feeling a more fatherly protection over him too (Bc I love dadstiel)
Okay so for the treehouse what were you thinking??
Like did you imagine like,,, they build one or they find an abandoned one somewhere or Jack sees a treehouse on TV and decides he wants one so he snaps his fingers and suddenly he creates one or??? I like the idea of a treehouse and I’d love to hear more of what you had in mind for that!!!

I feel like no content November won't help much, i write but im not a popular writer by any means. But by not providing your audience with what they want, they'll just go find someone who is providing what they want especially in terms of writers and such. You all deserve the world for the work you do, but I feel like just suddenly stopping what your fans want isn't going to help if anything its gonna make fans abandon creators and lose interest because "What if this becomes a regular thing" I dont think not praising you guys for the work you do is okay because you guys provide so much work for FREE and that's amazing but unfortunately a lot of people will have that mindset and instead go find creators who aren't doing NCN and follow them instead. If I was a creator doing NCN i would just be wary that my audience might get a lot smaller before i start getting it back and getting the feedback i want.
Sorry for bad English, my brains are jelly right now because I just came from a long walk and it’s super cold out there. I practiced my answer during my walk but I don’t remember much from it anymore. So people might get me wrong.
Yeah, I know where you’re coming from. And I’m glad you understand the both sides of this. And yeah, I was prepared for losing followers and receiving criticism about this and I believe a lot of writers/content creators overall were expecting that.
And yeah, this might end up not helping or might even worsen the situation, but I think this as a little bite on how the future of Tumblr might look like if content creators were treated rudely and not giving any credit for doing this. A lot of writers here have talked about this in their blogs for some time now (as for myself, I’ve joined to the conversation in June) and a lot of them have also told us that they don’t know if they’ll have inspiration to keep going for long if this situation continues and that includes those writers who aren’t participating in this. Sooner or later, the situation might end up being that there will be just a few blogs left because everyone else had enough and left for good. And without a proper community those few might leave too, slowly killing Tumblr. Without creators there won’t be content ever again. And nobody wants that to happen, so we have to do something about it as creators are already dropping out because of this and many are wondering about if they should leave because they aren’t appreciated and feel unmotivated and uninspired because of it. Someday in near future, this community might be gone as we know it.
Imo this isn’t just because people aren’t giving us reblogs + feedback, it’s also because people are expecting us to post every single day and be some superhumans. Being a writer here means we have to post + write every single day, quality never faltering even if we were dead tired after a long day at school/work, we had stuff going on with our mental healths and personal lives etc.
---
Some leave because of being treated rudely and this month could also represent Tumblr dying off because of people not respecting writers as people. For some people, we’re just machines.
I get a smut request, I turn it down because my rules say I don’t write smut and within the next 6 hours, I get an angry ask demanding for explanation why I won’t write smut and that person tries to guilt-trip me into writing it. I’m being treated like a machine which malfunctioned when I turned that request down.
My guinea pig dies. I take a hiatus because of it. Some people get angry at me because I should write their requests even when I’m incredibly sad for my pet and cry every time I remember it’s gone. I feel guilty and force myself to write again before I’m ready. I shouldn’t feel guilty about it because I do this for free, but I do.
That’s wrong, discouraging and very rude. And we need change for that too.

The fic you've been waiting for
Crowley avenging his beloved angel - Sandalphon got what he deserved (don't thank me, reblog instead)!!!!!!!!
Crowley and Aziraphale were unpacking the stuff they bought on a big shopping Sunday, and to this very day Crowley can't remember why and how they ended up talking about Aziraphale's, well... Ex-kin.
"I kinda enjoyed Michael", Crowley laughed. "Rather good-looking. Uriel, on the other hand..."
"Don't get me started on Uriel and Sandalphon", Aziraphale rolled his eyes. "I hate their guts"
"Sandalphon was a tough prick, I remember. And uglier than Belzebub", Crowley sneered.
"You don't say. He works in my place now, homophobic son of a... They couldn't have picked a worse candidate", Aziraphale said in a somewhat hurt voice.
"Don't worry, angel. Soon enough, he will receive some beating from locals, I tell you"
"Yeah, I should've definitely punched that bastard back", Aziraphale muttered under his nose quietly, angrily.
" Yeah, you bet...", Crowley laughed and then stopped abruptly. "W-w-wait, wait-wait-wait. Back? What do you mean, back?". Crowley stood up from the floor and stepped up to Aziraphale.
" Nothing, really"
"No, not nothing". Crowley's eyes were widened in shock. " Do you mean, that, that piece of shit HIT you?!"
Aziraphale lowered his eyes. It looked like the memory wasn't pleasant. Crowley was gasping.
"When? When did it happen? How come I didn't know?", Crowley was not yet angry but more frightened. " Angel, look at me. Talk to me. Someone battered you and I know nothing of it?!"
"No one battered me. I was walking back to my bookshop and Michael, Uriel and... And he approached me, I was questioned..."
"Where the Hell was I?" - Crowley asked, astonished.
"You drove home", Aziraphale said quietly and sadly.
Crowley tilted his head backward and sighed with despair. "I should've known... ". He lowered his head and looked at Aziraphale with sadness and pain. Aziraphale looked confused and lost.
" What did he do? Tell me, angel", Crowley stepped closer, putting his hand on Aziraphale's arm, leaning closer. "Tell me. He's dead"
"Don't you dare, Crowley, we got away and I won't..."
"What did he do to you? What? Why didn't you tell me? I was up there, I saw him, I could've..."
"Because I didn't want you to", Aziraphale answered bitterly. " I needed you to be concentrated and cool-headed. You freed me from them, same as I did for you. That's all that matters"
"No, it's not. You look sad, you look hurt", Crowley said, cupping Aziraphale's cheek. " Otherwise you would've forgotten".
"He punched me in the stomach, alright?", Aziraphale said with a lump in his throat. His lower lip trmbled a bit. "It wasn't as painful physically as it was humiliating".
Crowley looked down on his angel's belly - soft, beautiful, beloved and precious - and everything before his eyes suddenly became red as blood.
"I told you because I trust you, but if you dare approach him or pull out something stupid like that, I will leave you, Crowley", he heard Aziraphale's voice from some distance.
"Do you hear me? Answer me, Crowley"
Crowley felt his head filling with lead from within.
"I will not approach him. I swear it"
"Good", he hears Aziraphale say. " I'll finish unpacking"
Crowley stopped Aziraphale, holding him by the arm. He embraced him from behind, wrapping one of his arms around his chest and putting his hand gently on the angel's belly. He buried his nose in his soft blonde curls and muttered: "I love you".
"I love you too", Aziraphale answered softly, "Now let me finish".
Crowley looked at him, picking up paper bags and arranging the stuff around the room, looking small and soft and lovely. Somehow it made his silent rage all the more burning and red became crimson in his eyes. He swore he wouldn't approach that sick fuck who laid his dirty hands - no, he couldn't bear to think of it - on Aziraphale
... But he said nothing of his friends.
***
Crowley pulled his hood further on his forehead
"Pleasure to see you, Jay. You look like a heroin addict in that hoody", said Phil.
"I have to hide my hair somehow. Rare color"
Crowley was nervous and feeling restless.
"Yep. You're drop-dead gorgeous lad, we get it. To what I owe the pleasure?"
"I need to track someone down. Name's Saldanphon but he changes his IDs every now and then. You'll have to check for anything similar. Don't have a picture, but I draw him", Crowley laid a piece of paper on a table. The drawing looked fairly accurate. " Looks middle-aged, a bit fat, bald, ugly, has a golden tooth. A homophobe might be hanging around gay bars and the likes to preach or intimidate or whatever he does. That's all I have as of now".
"Well", Phil sighed " It's doable. But it will take a while. Any family?"
"No, none at all"
"I see. The golden tooth is indeed something". Phil looked at Crowley's hand. "You got married?"
"Ugh, yeah", Crowley answered looking around. " You know how to, ehm, tell me of the progress?"
"I've been around longer than you", Phil said wearily, and Crowley had to keep his mouth shut on that remark, " You'll know when I find something. Just one more thing. This, ehm, funny-named morality apostle. What exactly are you planning? He's gonna go?"
"No, not go", Crowley said with sheer disappointment "Plainly be taught a lesson. He put his shitty hands where he shouldn't have".
"Are you gonna call our mutual friend?", Phil raised his eyebrows. " If you want to make it clean, it's the best way. They'll never track his men down. Just food for thought, Jay. A piece of advice from the old man"
"That sounds reasonable", Crowley nodded, as if he had had any idea what to do next when he came to Phil, " I'll think about it. Thank you. Wanna count?". He put a book - a fake book, of course - on a table.
"Here? Oh, please. Trust me, if I don't find what I intend to find here, you'll know", Phil put a book in his bag and stood up. " Have a nice day, kid. Next time, wear something else"
Crowley waited for ten more minutes before leaving the diner. It was only when he was in a crowdy underground station when he put the hood off. He had to be cautious. For everyone's sake.
***
"Do you really think it's a good place, Jay?", said a tall and broad bald man in a leather jacket, trying to sit comfortably on a bench by a pond.
"The best one, in terms of privacy", said Crowley, looking grimly from his hood. " So. You said you owe me a favor all the way back from 1999. I didn't need anything for a long time, but now..."
"How do you manage to look so young, you sick bastard?", the man asked, chuckling, trying to look at Crowley's face. " You look just like my son, and that sad excuse of an heir is 27 now, not something you could tell by the way he speaks, though, I'd give him 10 in that department, still... How old are you, anyway?"
"I use a strong sunscreen. And I have good genes. Good, hardworking Irish people, my entire family. Will you listen or not, Patsy?"
A bald man stopped laughing and sighed.
"Of course. What seems to be the problem?"
"Our mutual buddy, Phil, tracked down a guy I need you to deal with. Here's what I've got on him", Crowley took a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to a man without so much as looking at his side. " I want your people to teach him a lesson. He's gotta stay alive. I can't be seen. But I need to watch it from a distance. I know you're ready to do this, but still" - Crowley took out something that looked like a book and put it on Patsy's lap still without looking at him - "this is some additional motivation for you, or a token of a good will, if you wish to call it that way".
Patsy put down an apparently-book-thing in his suitcase and opened a piece of paper. He looked at Crowley, frowning.
" What kind of a lesson do you want him to be taught, exactly?"
"If your boys will do it properly, he'll need new teeth", Crowley said, finally turning his head to his counterpart, looking him in the eyes from beneath his shaded. "The whole damn package. And the old ones, I want to have them. Every single one. Especially the golden one. No internal bleeding, no injuries to any organs. You can break a couple of ribs, but carefully. As you wish. But I need his teeth"
"Jesus fucking Christ, Jay", the Patsy man said, looking flabbergasted. " What did this son of a bitch did to you so you became such a butcher"
"He laid his shitty hands where he shouldn't have", Crowley hissed, grinding his teeth. His hands clenched in fists.
" You didn't tell me you were married. Was this your wife?", Patsy asked warily.
"I have no wife, but I am indeed married", Crowley answered. " I know you're one of the few people of your occupation who don't look down on things like that. I love him. But I swore I won't touch this bastard myself. I don't have much choice, Pat"
"I'm sorry it happened to your, well, spouse", Patsy said carefully. " But the guys that I have in my crew are not as open-minded as I wish they were. You know it yourself. Ours is not the most prestigious job. I'll do this favor, but when you're sitting in a car with them, better keep the personal personal".
They shook hands.
"I'll be waiting for your call. You know which number to call, and which not to", Crowley said, standing up. "I'm looking forward to seeing your team at work".
***
Crowley was staring into the field glasses, trying looking at two tall men in leather jackets dragging a bald man resembling Sandalphon, gagged and tied up, to a torch on the abandoned parking lot. The jeep where Crowley and his associates were sitting was right in its darkest corner.
It was Christmas Eve, the 24th of December. The snow was falling gloriously, but the place was too grim and damp for the fairy-tale-like spirit.
“You see them, Cap?”, a young driver, sitting by Crowley’s side asked.
“It looks like him, but I need insurance. I remember his voice. Call them”
One of the guys on the backseat dialed a number and one of the bouncers took the phone.
“Our cap wants so be sure it’s the guy. Let him speak”
He turned on the speakerphone. Soon enough Crowley heard Sandalphon screaming something like:
“I’ll give you anything you want, please, untie me, I need my hands, I…”, before Crowley nodded and Sandalphon became silent again. The phone was turned off and Sandalphon was dragged to a small staircase, and Crowley had to pay very close attention, looking into field glasses again, to recognize what was going on.
“Are you sure your people can do ALL the teeth in one go?”, he asked a bit unsurely.
“You insult us, Mr. Jay. It is our signature. One strike, all teeth. Leaves a strong message”, murmured a young man behind him.
“Well, then…”, Crowley started, but then he saw something rather outstanding, that made him make a certain sound: “Oi, woah… That was surprising… Alright, gentlemen, pardon me for my previous skepticism. I take that back. On second thought, I even refuse to take, the, ehm, the evidence”
He then heard his phone ring. It had to be Aziraphale. He had to answer. He quickly took the phone and blurted:
“Angel, honey, I can’t talk, I’m very busy, buying you a surprise, I’ll call you back in ten, love you”, without letting him even say a word. He figured out it would be more secure.
“Wife?”, asked a second young man, with a smile.
“Yeah. Sort of. Listen, I think I’d rather be going, are they done with the teeth? At the end of the day, I’ll think I’m more than happy without them. I don’t wanna take ‘em. I saw what you did, it was amazing. Drop me at the underground station, please… Else my, ehm, spouse, will be suspecting something, which I don’t fancy, like, at all”.
Crowley was very relieved when they drove away.
***
Crowley thought he had never had such a lovely Christmas morning. Angel was by his side, in his lovely tartan pajamas, they were tucked under the blanket, sipping tea and lazily switching the channels on telly.
“I thought I hated Christmas”, Crowley said quietly, as he lowered his head to Aziraphale’s, planting a soft kiss on his temple. “Now you made me love it. What next, angel?”
“You’ll stop wearing all black?”, Aziraphale answered, with a sarcastic smile.
“Naah, not in this life and not in the next”, Crowley said leisurely, switching the channels. Then he saw the news.
“… The victim of this horrific Christmas assault is alive, but severely traumatized – his teeth were…”
That was something Crowley didn’t account for – the bloody news.
“Ugh, what is it with these people”, he said with a trembling voice, trying desperately to sound casual, turning the telly off. “It’s only violence on this television, I’ll better put on some music. And make you some tea”, Crowley said, standing up.
“Dear boy”, Aziraphale said softly. “I’d like some tangerines. Would you be so kind as to bring your husband a plateful of those?”, he smiled. Crowley looked like he was melting from the inside.
“Every time you say the h-word I can’t say no to anything, angel. I’ll be in 15, a’right”
Crowley sighed with relief as he stepped into the kitchen. He was off the hook now, but some time from now, the angel might still learn about what happened. Will he be able to understand?
“All I did, I did for you”, Crowley thought in pain. “I love you so much I couldn’t stop it. He had to pay, my love, he had to”. Crowley felt tears fill his eyes, as he was putting tangerines in a bowl, but he was able to will them away. “I’d kill for you, I’d die for you, Aziraphale”, he thought with anguish. “I hope you know that whatever comes. I hope you will forgive me for what I had to do”.
***
With Crowley gone, Aziraphale was finally able to read the newspaper.
“Broken teeth, that’s a good take”, he thought smugly, as he read the weekly crime report. “See, Sandalphon. What goes around, comes around, next time you want to apply brutal force to your… arguments, better remember this, no? Though I doubt there will be the next time”
Aziraphale smirked. What his husband lacked in logic and cautiousness, he made up in loyalty and protectiveness. Blind loyalty and fierce protectiveness.
“You’re such an idiot, Crowley”, Aziraphale thought tenderly. “Really, A-J? To think I wouldn’t know? Me, famous Mr. Fell of Soho?”
That very evening, when he received a phone call from Phil and heard of some “heroin junkie looking” guy calling himself “Tony Jay” or “A J”, or, God have mercy, “Jay”, of all things, he knew it has to be Crowley.
“Wearing a black hoodie on top of his shades, really. It’s a miracle he didn’t get busted for drug possession”. Maybe it was indeed a miracle.
Truth be told, he wasn’t angry. He couldn’t approve openly, but there was a certain warmness in knowing that a homophobic golden-toothed prick who assaulted him now got what was coming for him.
“But I can’t encourage this sort of behavior in Crowley”, he thought, hiding his smile. “Now, dear boy, you need to control your impulses. At least, most of the time”.
Still, Aziraphale knew that he was one of the luckiest men – well, not really men, but… - alive, for his partner would stop at nothing to protect him.
“If only he would’ve acted a bit cleverer… Well, I suppose you can’t have it all. He’s beautiful, caring, kind, sweet, fiercely loyal and sexy as Hell, in the most literal sense of this word. It’s only natural he has to be a complete idiot to not let me forget myself. Oh, he brought me the cannoli the other day… This boy watched The Godfather too many times”.
“Angel!”, Crowley said, entering the room with a bowl full of tangerines. “What are you smiling at?”
“I’m thinking about how lucky I am to have you, dear boy”, Aziraphale answered with a loving smile.

Conversation
Choosing Legends
-Morning, Askr! The clustering wishes of the people have summoned 4 new brave heroes... and the altar is ready to summon just one of them. Given that this same process brought Lucina here so long ago, almost all of the army is gathered to see what could be a pivotal moment in the army’s history.-
Hector: (nudges Ephraim) So, what do you think? Which of us is it gonna be?
Ephraim: (smirk) I'd say me, normally- but that Ostian Counter in your costume's skillset looks very useful.
Fae: (sitting on Hector's shoulder) Fae thinks the summoner will pick you, Ephraim! She tried real hard to get you here!
Hector: Not nearly as hard as she tried to get Leo, though.
Ephraim: I hear grumbles about that every so often. Was it that bad?
Hector: Well--
Chrom: Morning.
Ephraim: (grin) Prince Chrom, always a pleasure. Up for a spar?
Hector: Oho! A three way battle, perhaps?
Chrom: Maybe after the summon. Mystery's been putting a great deal of thought into this after hearing all our cases out... did you two suggest anything? You both have costumes available.
Hector: ...Actually, I did.
Chrom: (bemused) Should we expect to see the might of Ostia without Armads, then?
Hector: Ha! No, I said she should pick Ephraim. Armor March would be awful handy for an armor team.
Ephraim: (touched) Hector, really? I told her to pick yours. I thought it might be nice to spar lance-to-lance with you.
Chrom: (nod, nod) Both are certainly good choices--
-The gathered army suddenly begins to cheer as Mystery reappears in front of the altar, apparently having made her choice. Corrin hands Breidablik back to her with a nod and Robin takes a seat by Soren and Saias.-
Mystery: All right, everyone! I've decided which of the brave heroes will be joining us. It took some thinking, but I'm confident in my decision.
-She pauses, gesturing at the green and blue orbs.-
Mystery: Hector and Ephraim both are strong, there's no denying that. But they're already destructive enough, and I don't think the Order can afford to repair our castle much more than we already do after they get to sparring!
Hector: (snicker, whisper) She's got a point there. Might level the place if we got any stronger.
Ephraim: (chuckle, whisper) Maybe next time, then.
Mystery: (points to the red orb) ...And then we have Celica. By now, all of you know of her condition- which Alm has been doing a great job of keeping in check, and so my leading thought was if I brought her a different costume, we could clear her mind of Duma. ...But I simply /can't/ be certain of that. (frown) We can't be sure the god's taint wouldn't simply slip onto her... and given how powerful this costume is, it could lead to trouble.
-In the crowd, Alm looks to Celica and takes her hand. The possessed princess manages a strained smile and runs her thumb over his knuckles as a comforting gesture.-
Mystery: ...Which leaves just one choice. (points Breidablik at the colorless orb.) Up until now, I've not had the power to help Princess Veronica. Every time we've met on the battlefield, I've only seen a scared, lonely little girl in dire need of a friend. A guardian.
-She pauses and looks to Xander, who nods. She turns back to the altar, finger on Breidablik's trigger.-
Mystery: ...As a close ally to Xander, as someone committed to seeing peace between Askr and Embla, and above all else- as a MOTHER, there was never a choice to be made.
-Mystery fires, and once the smoke clears... Princess Veronica stands before the Order of Heroes! Sharena leaps up from her seat to run over and hug her former enemy, slightly squishing the poor princess in her arms.-
Sharena: Alfonse, isn't this great?! There might be peace for Askr and Embla after all!
Alfonse: Don't get ahead of yourself, Sharena- she's not OUR Veronica. We still have a long way to go before we can repair things between our kingdoms.
Veronica: (pops her head out from Sharena's arms, slightly struggling to get loose) Oof--! Sharena, you're squeezing me too tightly! Desist!
Sharena: O-Oh, sorry. (loosens her hold) Better?
Veronica: Significantly. (coughs a bit, then looks to Alfonse) You speak correctly about the matter- I am not your Veronica, and cannot truly mend the bond between your Askr and her Embla. Be that as it may, I can at least provide a perspective on Emblian diplomacy for you...
Sharena: And we can be friends, right Ronnie?
Veronica: Ronnie? ...Yes. Yes, I do believe we can be friends as long as I'm here.
Sharena: Great! I hope you're prepared to stick around, we have a whole bunch of people for you to meet-- SIGGY, OHMYGOSH YOU HAVE TO MEET SIGGY COME ON!
-Before Veronica can protest, Sharena drags her off to be welcomed into the Order of Heroes properly. Mystery folds her arms and stands by Alfonse, who gives her a look.-
Alfonse: Are you sure this is wise? It seems like you've made an awfully selfish choice.
Mystery: Selfish?
Alfonse: You chose Veronica because you can't help ours yet, so by bringing this one you can soothe your guilt over it. Correct?
Mystery: (sucks in a breath) Oof. You're as perceptive as Robin, aren't you? Sure you're not a tactician? ...That aside you're not WRONG, but not completely right either.
Alfonse: (raises an eyebrow)
Mystery: ...I just think Veronica must be going through a lot. Her brother's gone. We've no idea what Surtr is telling her. She has no parents to guide her. In a situation like that, it's very easy to lose hope and think maybe you deserve all the awful things that happen to you. I thought if she could see us treating our Veronica kindly, she might think "hey, maybe they'll treat ME kindly too" and eventually come to our side. Or at least, won't lose hope for things to get better.
Alfonse: ...
Mystery: My hands are tied right now, Alfonse. This is a small step- and maybe even not the best one- but it's a step.
