#aurora's doting dad

[aceofwhump]

Have you made a list or notes on whumpy Hallmark and if so where?🥺

You know what, I haven't yet! Let me do that for ya now. And if anyone wants to add their favs please do so!

A Gift To Remember: Darcy (Ali Liebert) hits Aiden (Peter Porte) while riding her bike and he gets knocked out and loses his memory. It’s pretty good.

Love on the Sidelines : Laurel (Emily Kinney) is a struggling fashion designer who finds herself with a job as a personal assistant for Danny (John Reardon), a quarterback sidelined with an broken ankle. Danny is on crutches for most of the movie and is recovery from his injury.

Spirit of Christmas: A young lawyer (Jen Lilley) finds romance with a spirit (Thomas Beaudoin) that takes the form of a human 12 days before Christmas. He was murdered and there are flashbacks to him being attacked and killed.

Christmas Homecoming: Stars Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson from SG1!!) as an Army Captain recovering from an injury in battle. He's got a broken leg and suffers from survivors guilt and ptsd.

Hailey Dean Mysteries: Deadly Estate for some good poisoning whump of a medical examiner. You want unconscious? medically induced coma? respirator? bedside vigils? worry? waking up with a twitching hand? walking down the hospital floor holding onto their iv pole? Then this is the movie for you!

Love Blossoms: one small part when the main guy, Declan, gets sick with a cold during the movie. It’s kind of cute but the rest of the movie's got nothing.

Second Chances: "A badly injured leg forces fireman Jeff, who lost his father in a fire as a young boy, to rent a ground floor room during his recovery. Thus he moves in with Jenny, a 911 emergency call center operator, and her two young children, Luke and Elsie, who soon dote on him as an ideal substitute father and try matching him with their mother."

My Gal Sunday: Henry (Cameron Mattheson) gets shot in the beginning of the movie.

Signed Sealed Delivered Lost Without You: Oliver goes on a hike with his father. His dad trips and gets a seemingly innocuous injury on his leg but the two of them get lost in the woods and the injury turns out to be life threatening.

A Godwink Christmas Miracle of Love: Eric (Alberto Frezza) is run over by a plow near the end of the film. There's lots of surgery, worry, hospital stuff.

Retreat to Paradise: "Jordan is recovering from a shoulder injury and his grumpiness tempts Ellie, his carer, to leave him to his misery. But will romance finally blossom?"

The Christmas Waltz: Roman (Will Kemp) hits his head due to slipping on an icy sidewalk and has to go to hospital

Taking a Shot at Love: "Sparks fly between a ballet instructor and a professional hockey player as she tries to help him recover from the same injury that sidelined her dancing career." It's not got a lot of whump but it is about a hockey player in rehab.

Martha's Vineyard Mysteries series: The whole series. Jesse Metcalfe's character Jeff was shot on a previous case and the bullet is still in lodged in his back and it causes him pain a lot AND he continually has nightmares about the incident. It's great.

Mystery 101: Killer Timing: Travis (Kristopher Polaha) gets blown up and even though the aftermath doesn't last long its still wonderful. He gets knocked out, there's an ambulance and hospital scene (kinda), worried family members.

Never Kiss a Man in a Christmas Sweater: Maggie O'Donnell (Ashley Williams) accidentally breaks Lucas Cavelli (Niall Matter)'s arm while carrying a Christmas Tree and offers him a room to stay in when he can't find a hotel room cause she feels guilty.

A Timeless Christmas: Charles Whitley (Ryan Paevey) passes out in 1903 and wakes up in 2020.

Aurora Teagarden A Bundle of Trouble: Martin Bartell (Yannick Bisson) gets shot in the shoulder

Christmas on the Range: Clint McCree (Nicholas Gonzalez) is attacked and beaten up pretty badly.

Mix Up in the Mediterranean: Josh (Jeremy Jordan)'s twin brother Julian gets hurt and can’t do a cooking competition so Josh takes over.

The Christmas Cure: Mitch (Steve Byers) falls off ladder and gets a concussion

Love's Christmas Journey: Sheriff Aaron Davis (Greg Vaughan) gets shot in the leg while chasing a robber. His injury is bad and gets infected. He gets a fever and is rescued by an old man who cares for him. The wound needs cauterizing and he suffers fever, chills, and more.

Hearts in the Game: Diego Vasquez (Marco Grazinni) is a hot shot baseball pitcher who has a panic attack during a game which costs the team the game. Turns out it was triggered by the anniversary of his moms death and he has another panic attack later in the movie as well.

Fourth Down in Love is about an athlete who is sidelined by an injury. Broken ribs I think? 

Rip in Time: Another fun time travel movie. Rip (Niall Mater) gets knocked out at least once. 

Three Wise Men and a Baby: Paul Campbell's character has social anxiety and has a sort of panic attack in the park at the beginning of the movie.

Jolly Good Christmas: Will Kemp's character falls into a frozen river and he comes out shaking and shivering and she gets him a blanket and tea and he needs a hot shower. 

That's all I've got for right now. The bolded ones have the best whump in my opinion so definitely check those out first :) Love's Christmas Journey and the Martha's Vineyard Mysteries are A+ whump hallmark movies. Do those first ;)

Dear Lynx tell me what happens when all the werepuppies get sick at once. How do their dads handle it????

oh noooo not sick werepuppies 😭😭😭

waffles is whimpering and shivering pathetically, aurora is so lethargic she can barely open her eyes. quincy keeps falling asleep on their book club books. vulcan is getting bitey and aggressive. pip keeps trying to eat his own vomit. and lyra is… behaving??? DEAR MERLIN THEIR BABIES ARE DYING.

remus is cuddling them and doting on them and trying not to let them see him cry. sirius is diagnosing them with a new rare illness every hour and screaming at remus that he has to find a hinkypunk spine to save them.

(it turns out to be an ear infection and they get some antibiotics from the vet and the puppies are just fine)

Disney Descendants : Scene from the Isle of The Lost

… Her mother was a famous beauty in a land of famous beauties, and so it was only to be expected that Princess Audrey, daughter of Aurora, was gifted with the same lilting voice, lovely thick hair, swan-like neck, and deep, dark eyes that could drown a prince in their warm embrace.

Like a kitten scenting catnip—or perhaps like an isle of banished former villains sensing magic—a young prince could hardly be expected to resist such sparkly, dimpled charms. In point of fact, Princess Audrey, like her mother before her, was exactly the sort of princess who gave princesses their rather princessy reputation—right down to her very last perfect curl and the last crystal stitched into her silken gown.

And so it was to Princess Audrey that Prince Ben went the next day, to lick his wounds and seek some comfort after the disastrous meeting of the King’s Council—like the discouraged, catnip-seeking kitten he was.

“It’s such a mess,” he told her as they walked around the garden of the “Cottage,” as Aurora and Phillip’s grand castle was nicknamed after King Hubert had declared that the forty-room palace was a mere starter home for the royal newlyweds. “Starter home?” Aurora had said. “What are you possibly imagining that we’ll start? A shelter for homeless giants?” The king had not been pleased to hear it, but Aurora was a simple girl and had lived as Briar Rose for eighteen years of her life in an actual cottage in the woods, so she found the castle more than spacious enough for her family. (And at least one or two stray passing giants.)

“So what happens now?” Audrey asked, looking perfectly charming with a flower in her hair. Naturally, it happened to match the silken lining of her dusty-rose bodice. “Surely even a prince can’t be expected to do everything right the very first time he tries?”

Easy for you to say, Ben thought. A dove alighted on Audrey’s shoulder, cooing sweetly. Audrey lifted one pale-pink nail, and the dove nuzzled her gentle fingertip. Ben found himself looking around for the royal portraitist.

Ben sighed.

Somehow, even the sight of his beautiful girlfriend wasn’t enough to lift the prince’s somber mood. “Dad says I have to hold another meeting to fix it. He’s disappointed, of course, and he’s had to send conciliatory gift baskets of his favorite cream cakes to everyone who was there, so he’s not in the best mood. You know how much he likes his cream cakes.”

“Frosted or unfrosted?” Audrey asked. “And with currants or chocolates?”

“Both kinds,” Ben said, sighing again. “More than a dozen each. Mom thinks it’s the only way to make peace, although Dad was kind of annoyed to give away so many of his favorite treats.”

“They are rather good.” Audrey smiled. “And everyone does love cake.”

Ben wished Audrey could be more understanding, but her life had been charmed from the beginning as the pampered princess of two doting parents—especially Aurora, who been separated from her own mother and forced to spend her formative years in a fairy foster home, under the threat of a deadly curse. “My daughter will never know anything but love and beauty and peace and joy,” Aurora had declared. And she had meant it. So it wasn’t hard to see now why Audrey couldn’t understand how Ben could ever disappoint his parents. She never had. And she never will, he thought.

So this morning I posted a little tidbit on Swiss and Cumulus’ two kits. But I’m also thinking of just them being raised with the kinda poly pack after being an almost total surprise to mom and dad.

Just a litter of two, two cute little kits that practically every dotes on because how could you see those two cute skrunkles and not love them? They quite literally climb all over Mountain and get mandatory snuggle time with Dew who’s more than happy to be a heated blanket. Aurora makes them little outfits and Phantom buys a huge amount of stuffies.

Crowsourced ideas for the EAH/OUAT crossover because I can't get it out of my fucking head apparently and I need to write them all down in a single place

Apple -> takes the place of baby Neal as Snow and Charming's second child, exacerbating Emma's bitterness because like, if you're a bit jealous that your parents are raising and doting on a baby like they couldn't go to you, that feeling must multiplicate tenfold if said baby is a little girl with blonde hair

Raven -> Regina's baby with Robin. Implies that Cora never dosed her daughter with an infertility spell and also that the whole Zelena pregnancy shebang was avoided somehow PLEASE I need this for my sanity. Has magic blood but ON GOD, Regina will bash Rumple on the head if he comes near her kid with weird power-teaching ideas

(when I made the first post about this I completely forgot that Sparrow Hood is a guy that exists in EAH, but it's fine, we can pretend he doesn't OR Regina can have twins - Raven and Sparrow are names that go so well together, after all! And the prospect is hysterical! Surely nothing could go wrong with those two in the same nursery!!!!!)

Ruby and Dorothy were implied to do some travelling together in the show, right? Maybe they could find the remains of a wolf pack like that of Ruby's mother, except all that's left is VERY mistrustful wolfblood young sisters Ramona and Cerise in severe need for adult intervention. Time for Red Kansas to become chaos moms and break some walls the girls have built, I guess

if Jefferson already has one daughter, there is no reason why he couldn't have TWO daughters! Enter Madeline/Maddie, AKA Grace's mad (honorific) little sis

Cinderella is already called Ashley in OUAT so I'd be loath to keep her daughter as Ashlynn but...Lynney? Lynette? Something? Anyway, a glorified Alexandra LMAO same for Hunter, though - for one, where would Graham get a son, and for two, would he name that son Hunter? Nope. Definitely not. Needs workshopping

other kids I have floating around are Briar (but Aurora is already pregnant in canon so whatever that's easy), Crystal (technically as the daughter of the Snow Queen she should come from Elsa or Ingrid's line, but that doesn't sound likely...maybe Anna and Kristoff instead?), Alistair Wonderland (probably Alice and Cyrus' offspring, but that would mean not interacting much with the rest of the crew), Lizzie Hearts (Cora has no right to a third daughter, so what's the closest thing to the Queen of Hearts? Anastasia the Red Queen? Idk??????) etc etc

and now the actual protagonist in my heart, Cedar Booth Wood

so because of Jojo's intervention, her backstory is established as such: she's the result of one of August's pre-canon flings that ends up in Storybrooke when she's quite young. That narrows the window of time where she could have been conceived before her dad was either wooden/a third grader/being a whole dumbass, but I wanted her to be about the same age as her friends and that means keeping her at about 5yo upon her arrival (timelines are wonky because OUAT's timeline IS wonky, but hardly anybody will even read so far, so ssssssh)

August is her nearest relation available, so that's why he gets a handful of child so suddenly. He is...a bit in shock, but he ends up loving her once the surprise wears off. Marco is OVER THE MOON because it's free granddaughter. Archie is just begging that at least ONE member of their family has a kid in a plain, normal way at some point in the future

then the angst kicks in because it turns out daddy's enchanted tree genes are just a little too strong and they resurface quite vehemently once Cedar steps foot in Storybrooke. Maybe she starts turning into wood, or has an averse reaction to lies, or both, I don't know I'd love it to be both, but I'm scared that I will get yelled at for torturing this child any further

the central point is - I was discussing this topic with @bewilderedmoth the other night and she had a STRONG hand in helping me reach the conclusion that a) this is probably the Blue Fairy's fault, so fuck her b) since Cedar is so young in this AU not only would August be desperate that she gets...cured? Un-cursed? Something, but he'd also realize that...shit. He wasn't much older than her when he got thrown into his personal hellscape. That's fucked up. Who thought it could be a healthy learning experience (see point a)? Unhand his kiddo RIGHT NOW or so help him

finally, this unreasonably funny concept from yours truly, to send you off on a lighter note

[jerzwriter]

If there’s no grandparents available, how would Ethan & Kaycee rank their options to babysit Emma, between: Tobias, Bryce, Sienna, Aurora, Jackie and Elijah. If each one of them get to babysit once, what would be the activity they would try to entertain Emma with? *Same for T/C.

Hey Nonny! Thank you for the ask!

Well, Kaycee and Ethan stay in Boston, as do most of the people mentioned here, so they have an easier pick. For them, the order would probably be:

Sienna

Aurora

Bryce

Tobias

Jackie

Elijah

Reasons? Sienna is essentially Emma's second mom. She's always around, Emma is comfortable with her, and she knows her routine. Emma may not even realize mom and dad are missing.

Aurora is also very good with Emma; she has a very calming effect, that's why she's the preferred babysitter on worknights. Whereas if it is a weekend... Uncle Bryce and/or Tobias may be on duty. Both of them love hanging around Emma, though only on occasion alone. They usually have something big planned, which will leave little Emma tired out, which is why they love them for weekend plans.

Jackie adores Emma, but she is terrified of being left alone with her until she's school-age. They know this, so they don't bother her unless it's an emergency. Elijah is dead last only because, in my HC, he moved to New Haven to work at Yale New Haven Hospital, so he's not really around to babysit.

For Tobias/Casey, it would be:

Sienna

Bryce

Ethan (and his girlfriend *ehem*)

Jackie

Aurora

Elijah

Sienna, it's the same. She's just family; she's just there. She thinks Samantha is hers when she's born. Tobias is very close with Bryce, he practically lives at their townhome, and he's very close to the girls. When Sienna or Bryce watches them, it's almost like there is no babysitter at all. It just feels normal.

Ethan absolutely dotes on Tobias & Casey's girls. He is godfather to 2 out of 3, and he loves spending time with them. He's in an endless quest to prove he's the fun uncle (the competition is Bryce and Tobias's brother, Jordan... give it up, Ethan, lol). But the girls adore him. Ethan has a girlfriend eventually, and she loves being around the girls too.

I feel like Jackie is a little closer to Casey in this world, so while she may have been afraid, Casey told her to get over it. Really, Jackie, Aurora, and Elijah would have been tied for 4th place in this universe. But we also factor in Uncle Jordan, who will be around a lot more when the family moves to DC.

Thanks for the ask Nonny!

Trigger warnings: Verbal abuse, Alcoholism, Divorce, Eating disorder, Psychiatric Treatment

Ann-Marie Joy Siegert (nee Simon) was born in Olympia, Washington. Her father was a well known State Attorney who owned a vineyard. Her mother did not work but made use of her free time by hosting country club parties and events. She made it known that she wanted them to appear to be a picture perfect family to the outside world but and held very strict expectations of her eldest daughter. She put the girl in beauty pageants and competitive dance at a young age, berating her when she didn't win. When Ann-Marie was seven, her parents had fraternal twins, Lucy and Noah. Her mother's focus heavily shifted to them as they grew up, doting especially on Lucy who she deemed the perfect daughter. Even though he was gone a lot, Ann-Marie remained closer to her father. When he wasn't working, he would take the family on lavish vacations. They bought a vacation home near Primerose Lake where they would spends weeks out of their summers by the lake, or winters on the ski hills. Ann-Marie would attend their summer camp where she would meet her best friend Nancy. The girls stayed in touch for years over letters and phone calls and the odd visit.

As Ann-Marie got older, her mother would spend most of her days while her father was at work, drinking, having affairs behind his back, and verbally abusing Ann-Marie. Because of her cruel comments she ended up developing an eating disorder in her teen years. When she became very sick one winter, she ended up going to the hospital. Once her eating disorder became known, she was kept in the psychiatric ward and made to speak to a psychologist. For the first time she was able to speak openly about her mother and what she had put her through and admired the way her therapist was able to help her. After several months in the hospital she was released, only to be met with the news that her parents were getting a divorce. It was a long drawn out process that was difficult for the children to be put through. In the end, her mother got the house and the vineyard. Her father decided to move to their vacation home in East Haven when Ann-Marie was seventeen, and she didn't think twice about joining him, along with her brother Noah, while Lucy opted to stay with their mother.

In Vermont, Ann-Marie was able to thrive in her senior year of high school, finally given the freedom to be herself and not who her mother wanted her to be. Although she dreaded having to go back to Washington to see her. With her new found confidence, came her first serious relationship with a young man named Martin who worked as an intern for her father while he was majoring in Law. It came as a complete surprise to her when she became pregnant when she was almost nineteen. She didn't want her father to know at first, as he she had kept her relationship secret from him, but eventually Martin confessed and told her father that they were in love. She gave birth to a baby girl, Leonora. She spent the first few years of her daughters life taking care of her and ensuring to raise her to be strong and confident and show her the motherly love that she didn't have. She and Martin got married when Leonora was two years old.

When her daughter was old enough for school, Ann-Marie was able to enroll at East Haven University, majoring in Psychology and Human Studies, which had always been a dream of hers. When she was nearly done her program, she found out that she was pregnant again. She finished and earned her degree before her second daughter, Aurora was born. After taking two years off to take care of her children, she began an internship in her mid-twenties, eventually landing a job as a therapist. She helped families and couples which paid well but wasn't really what she wanted to do. As her girls got older, Ann-Marie began to experience problems with her husband Martin, who much like her father, was away from the home a lot for his job as an attorney. Both of them rarely saw each other and she began to feel unloved by him. When Leonora had finished high school, and Aurora was still attending, they came to a mutual agreement that neither were happy in their relationship anymore. They filed for a divorce and went their separate ways but were able to co-parent and be there for their daughters when they needed them.

After the divorce, Ann-Marie began to explore her bisexual side, which was something she had never been able to do while she was married, and had a relationship with a woman who was a few years younger than her, but in the end they ended things after about a year deciding they were on different paths. She also decided to start her own business. After saving up for a while she leased a buiding in the Downtown area and started her own therapy center. She specializes in group therapy as well as individual sessions and has hired other counselors. She decided to take some time off from her love life and learn to love herself first, while she also keeps in close contact with her daughters. Although she sees her father and siblings often, she avoids speaking to her mother and has only seen or spoken to her a handful of times over the years.

MBTI:    ISTP Zodiac:    Sagittarius  sun,  Cancer  moon,  and  Aries  rising. Archetype:    the  rebel Enneagram:    8w9 Alignment:    chaotic  good

   Burak  was  born  to  an  upper  middle  class  family  in  Islamabad,  Pakistan.  His  father  worked  in  the  foreign  office  and  his  mother  was  a  university  professor.  Naturally,  they  expected  him  to  follow  suit  with  academics.  Burak,  however,  was  made  of  a  different  clay.  With  brown  hair  akin  to  a  disheveled  crown  resting  atop  his  head,  he  was  found  running  about  the  garden  with  his  golden  retriever.  Never  one  to  sit  still,  forget  sitting  still  long  enough  in  class.  No,  he  was  rather  found  attempting  to  pry  apart  a  clock  and  then  putting  it  back  together.  His  hands  itched  to  comprehend  the  world.  What  good  are  books  when  you  can  learn  from  your  hands?  Growing  up,  these  gifts  of  his  only  blossomed  with  age.  When  he  was  nine  he  built  a  chicken  coop  by  himself.  When  he  was  eleven,  he  began  fixing  things  in  the  kitchen.  His  abilities  did  not  stop  here,  he  was  a  gifted  athlete.  He  played  soccer  for  his  team  all  throughout  school  till  college.  He  also  participated  in  basketball  and  cricket.

   In  1993,  when  he  was  just  sixteen,  his  family  moved  to  Karachi.  Burak,  however  untalented  at  making  friends,  found  one  in  Emir  despite  their  differing  personalities.  Emir  Khan  was  an  affable  extrovert  known  for  his  charm  and  his  flirtatious  nature.  The  son  of  a  millionaire,  spoiled  rotten.  Burak  was  a  shy,  seemingly  grouchy,  introvert.  They  were  poles  apart  but  it  was  his  great  fortune  that  he  befriended  Emir.  A  fact  he  utterly  believed  in  when  Burak  finally  met  Lamia  Khan;  Emir’s  effervescent,  blunt  sister  with  her  round  impish  eyes  and  her  fiery  temperament.  She  would  pick  fights  with  him  and  he  would  encourage  her.  It  was  the  equivalent  of  a  school  boy  pulling  ponytails  because  he  liked  her  but  did  not  know  how  to  express  it.  They  would  often  tease  and  prank  one  another.  Jests  that  ranged  from  leaving  the  iron  to  burn  the  other’s  clothes  to  adding  ants  to  the  other’s  tea.  Their  petty  arguments  seemed  like  fights.  It  was  during  one  of  these  arguments  that  he  confessed  his  feelings  for  her,  Lamia  callously  rejected  him  at  first.  Weeks  went  by  and  Burak’s  absence  left  an  ache  in  Lamia’s  heart.  Moments  when  he  was  all  she  could  think  of.  There  was  no  doubt,  it  was  love.  So,  she  went  to  him  and  confessed  to  the  lovesick  puppy.  It  should  have  been  a  happy  ever  after,  but  Lamia’s  father  was  stoutly  against  their  union.  He  thought  they’d  fall  out  of  love  soon  enough  and  was  in  for  a  rude  awakening  when  twenty  year  old  Lamia  decided  to  marry  Burak.  Her  mother  sided  with  her  and  Burak’s  father,  the  two  got  married  despite  the  blatant  disapproval  from  both  sides  of  the  family.  Yet,  they  never  felt  anything  but  happiness.  They  knew  this  was  forever.      

   Burak  and  Lamia  went  on  to  have  little  Aurora  the  next  year  and  she  was  already  her  father’s  little  princess.  Burak  has  never  loved  anyone  the  way  he  loved  Aurora.  He  would  carry  her  around,  rush  to  do  every  little  task,  sing  her  lullabies,  and  buy  her  whatever  he  thought  she  would  like  to  have.  He  would  wake  her  up  for  school,  make  her  meals,  and  help  her  get  ready.  He  would  braid  her  hair  and  have  tea  parties  with  her.  After  all,  she  was  the  sunrise  in  his  life.  She  was  named  Aurora  because  like  dawn,  she  had  brought  a  new,  hopeful  morning  in  their  lives.  Two  years  after  Aurora  was  born,  they  had  Rayyan.  His  children  and  his  family  became  the  most  cherished,  beloved  thing  in  his  entire  existence.  More  than  his  work,  and  more  than  the  business  empire  he  set  up  to  show  his  father  in  law  that  he  could  treat  his  daughter  much  better  than  he  ever  did.

   Currently,  Burak  is  living  his  dream  existence.  He  is  proud  of  his  family  and  he  is  utterly  and  devotedly  in  love  with  his  wife.  They  still  indulge  in  playful  arguments  as  they  cook  dinner  together  with  kisses  snuck  in  between  that  their  children  roll  their  eyes  and  scoff  at.  He  has  heard  of  the  boy  his  daughter  is  in  love  with  and  despite  his  protective  nature,  he  is  definitely  going  to  love  Tida  like  a  son.

How about HC for how many kids the Papas have (and names??) 😁

I absolutely have some ideas in mind! Thanks for the ask Anon....we all know these kind are my favorites to answer!

Papas and how many kids (and their names) they would have headcanons 😊 (some are based on my fics)

💥so spoilers for some of my fics below the cut

Other than the 4 he already has lol... he'd probably have a least 1 or 2 more praying to Lucifer for girls this time. They'd have him eating out of the palm of their hands. Their names would be something like Blythe and Gwendolyn.

Nihil

Primo

2, both girls. They'd be named after flowers of course, Lily and Rosalie. Primo would have their hands learning to work the earth before they would know how to walk.

Secondo

2, twins a boy and a girl. And you can bet that he cried the first time he held them, one in each of his arms... but he'd deny it. A son to carry on the name and a daughter for him to dote on. Their names are Christian and Mariana.

Terzo

5, this should come as NO SURPRISE that Terzo has the most. His Prime Mover and him have 4 daughters and 1 son. Their names Filomena, Dante, Luciana, Alexandra, and Sofia (after his mother). And yes, he absolutely rubbed the fact he had 1 more than Copia in his face.

Copia

4, he adores being a Dad. Let's face it the man oozes DILF energy. His Prime Mover would not be able to resist *ahem* his persuasion to have just one more...after all he's just too sweet and loving in all the ways he's a Papa. He loves them all so much, his brood consisting of 2 boys and 2 girls in this order: Vincenzo, Aurelio, Aurora, and little Emilie .

Thanks again!

@wayward-sword​ asked: "I can't believe how lame dad looks right now, doting all over Lily like that. Isn't he supposed to be a grown man? Jeez." Why, no, Aurora isn't complaining to her own mother out of jealousy or anything. Whatever would give *that* impression?

     “You really think that? I think your father is cute when he dotes like that on all of you~” There was a knowing smile on her face as she stared at her oldest daughter, doing her best not to laugh at the obvious envy she wore on her face as she complained about Zech. When she was small, it had been her in Lily's shoes, but even after all this time that had passed, she should know she was still so very loved by them. A hand reached up to gently stroke Aurora's hair and pat her head. "But I think hfmhsrmv is even cuter~"

BIOGRAPHY:

TW: Child abuse, self harm, homophobia

Aurora was born to a family of politicians and scientists; If one wanted to know when the last time a direct relation to her WASN’T one of those two, you’d have to go back four generations… That is if you don’t count her biological mother… Nike, Goddess of Victory. Nike had been watching over the Hart family for generations. Aurora’s great, great, great, great grandmother was a worshiper of the goddess and asked to be blessed; the goddess obliged and had for the past 100 years watched over and blessed each child with a bit of victorious spirit and achievement in whatever they pursued. That was until her father, Richard Hart, was 25 years old. He found and married a congresswoman, Kenna Cooper, who at first appeared to be perfect. But perfection was an illusion and the perfect wife and mayor image shattered ten years after little Aurora was born. Rewinding a bit, Aurora was conceived when her father and mother had gotten into a bit of a tiff and he left her. They were “broken up” or “Separated” as her mother likes to say, for about a week when Richard met Nike. A one-night stand turned into a child delivered to their doorstep 9 months later on the eve of an election. She explained who she was, told Richard stories of his great-great-grandmother who worshiped her and how she had made a promise to look after the family. That this child would come to do great things considering she was a demi-god blessed with Nike’s victory. That she would only return when they told Aurora about her. She wasn’t about to get in the middle of whatever the family wanted to do to raise Aurora.

Needless to say, Kenna was pissed at first to realize that this woman had slept with her husband and that she suddenly was being thrust with a child when she had ambitions and goals to reach. And how was she going to explain the sudden appearance of a newborn when she clearly had not been pregnant? So a plan was made and they said they had used a surrogate mother and wanted to keep the pregnancy hidden and the baby protected. The next day proved just how powerful demi-god DNA was as Kenna won her election by a landslide – only a day before they had assumed it would be close but most likely not a victory. So Kenna started to dote on the child.

For the first ten years of her life, it was picturesque, she had a loving doting father who worked in aerospace, a mother on the rise within politics, aunts, uncles, and grandparents who were in all realms of science and politics who happily would teach her anything and everything… She was brought up to be a perfectionist. At 4 she was already starting to write full sentences, not in great handwriting but still! By 8 she was reading at a 7th-grade level. And by the age of 11, she was a certified genius. She was deemed a child prodigy when it came to academics, specifically those within the realm of politics and aerospace science having picked up those two the most from her parents despite their infrequent times at home.

Her father traveled to and from Florida for NASA for months at a time. While her mother had stepped up to the role of congresswoman and traveled to and from DC on a basically bi-weekly basis. A live-in-nanny was hired to be home with Aurora whenever the parents couldn’t be. Why hadn’t they just moved her? Aurora had no idea. She assumed it had to do with her mother’s role as a congresswoman, she still had to have a house in Portland so why not keep your child there and away from you when you’re that busy? At least – that’s the reasoning Aurora came up with. Aurora had loved it when her father came home. He was so caring, so playful, and fun; his presence kept her mother at bay. Kept the house calm…. But those times only lasted for so long before he had to go back to Kennedy Space Center.

TW: homophobia, abuse, death threats

Her mother though? That was the opposite. Kenna being home meant life would be a bit of a hellscape; it meant screaming, yelling, and insults. It meant crying until no more tears could be produced, it meant pressure and guilt and hatred tossed in her direction if she so much as dared to disagree with the congresswoman. It meant being gaslit and lied to and disassociating… it meant self harm which lead to her mother screaming at her for hurting herself and the image it put out in the world if anyone were to see the cuts. Which lead to even more anger from her mother and the cycle continued. If her father wasn’t there to distract her mom then the only other reprieve was sleepovers with friends. Her mother always put on the face of the perfect loving mom if people were over. It was Aurora’s sanctuary because not even the nanny could stop Kenna’s rage.

The person who she spent the most time with, that helped relieve the hellscape that was her mom was Kassandra. The two grew up next to one another, a tree between their houses branches stretching out and brushing each of their windows. It became a treehouse as the girls got older, a way for them to sneak between houses to hang out together. The two were thick as thieves doing everything together, experiencing everything together. It started innocently enough, their first day of school, their first tests, one another first best friends, but as they got older their firsts became more mature, first crushes – on one another, first kiss… They were surprisingly not one another’s first relationships that honor went to Brandon, a boy in their grade who was surprisingly decent. The two ended based on the fact that Brandon – wanted to have sex… which Aurora was not ready for. She was still a virgin at the time. So the two ended… though they stayed friends. Not long after Kass and Aurora started to date in secret. Neither were ready to come out to their parents; so they kept it between themselves, using the tree to sneak into one another’s room and one thing led to another and they became one another’s first time as well.

Things had been going surprisingly well in young Aurora’s life if you could ignore the abuse that Kenna lobbed at her on a bi-weekly basis. She was starting to think she could make it out of the house alive and without hating everything … when the worst happened. Kass told her mother about her being gay and she was promptly kicked out; Kass’ mother came next door once the other was gone and demanded to talk to Kenna knowing that Richard was out of town. There was a hushed conversation that Aurora tried to listen in on, but nothing could easily be made out. Though, when the other woman left all hell broke loose in the house – She screamed and screamed about how Aurora could NOT have a gay best friend, that she could NOT hang out with that “degenerate” anymore. That she, well really, both of them, were pieces of shit, that she was going to hell. Aurora tried to stand up to her, to tell her that Kass was a wonderful person, that she loved her best friend, and that her mother had no right to say any of that. This was when for the first time, Kenna slapped Aurora telling her that if she was anything like that f-word that she would not see the next day because no daughter of hers could be gay and that it would ruin her reputation as a congresswoman.

It was the blood she touched on her cheek that finally shut down Aurora’s brain and let her just zone out as her mother continued to yell and scream. Kenna’s wedding ring had created a long cut along her cheek and despite seeing her daughter bleeding by her own hand Kenna didn’t stop yelling. It was three hours later before Kenna finally stopped and Aurora could take care of her cheek,  by the blood had run down her face and scabbed over and a bruise had started to form. She took the next couple of days off school and avoided everyone. Or tired too, but she ended up getting yelled at each day by her mother, each time there was the threat that lingered over her head that something horrible would happen.

So when Kass asked to meet her at the park one day Aurora knew she would have to do the hardest thing and break up with her. She couldn’t keep this up or she might end up dead. Putting on makeup and trying to hide the bruise and cut she made her way to the park — only to lie her ass off and break both their hearts in the process. Aurora cried for three days afterwards which only caused her mother to rage more. Luckily for Aurora, her mother was called back to DC and she got a reprieve.

It wasn’t until six months before graduation that her father finally learned the truth about what Kenna had been doing when he came home the day after his wife left to see Aurora covering up a bruise on her shoulder. He demanded to know what happened – and she broke down. She told him everything, told him that if he didn’t believe her to call her old nanny that she would corroborate the story. That Kenna threatened her too and to not get mad at the nanny. She had done what she could to protect Aurora. Two months later her father filed for divorce and custody of the almost 18-year-old Aurora – but the allegations of abuse had been shoved under the rug, avoided, and hidden away. Her mother was too powerful and had too many friends in high places.

After four months of living with her dad and she was off to college. Aurora could not be anymore more excited to get away from her family and be on her own. She gained herself a roommate, her own space and started school. For the first three years of college, Aurora had never felt freer and more herself. She had escaped her mother’s clutches but even despite that, she couldn’t let go of the political aspect – she wanted now, more than anything, to get into politics so she could make it easier for kids to escape abusive households and harder for abusive parents to skirt the system. She rose to the top of her classes, stood out, and earned summa cum laude with her bachelor’s. As she returned back to college to get her master’s she met Juliette. Juliette – the most beautiful woman on campus, the smartest, the kindest – and needless to say – Aurora fell hard and fast.

It became clear though that the feelings were reciprocated and the two fell so quickly and so hard it would be impossible to deny that the two seemed rather perfect for one another. Their friends joked that they were waiting for a wedding invite after four months of them dating. The two laughed it off and just continued on. They moved in together a year later. Jules graduated and started working in a firm while Aurora started to work for the local government. As Jules moved up quickly and Aurora couldn’t have been more proud of her girlfriend. They celebrated one another whenever they got a chance and told one another everything.

Aurora did end up telling Jules about the abuse she experienced and confided in her about all of her hopes and fears. This was the first time she ever told anyone about the abuse she experienced, save for her father. This, in Aurora’s mind, cemented the next-level – engagement. They had been talking about it on and off for a year already, so it seemed inevitable. Aurora went out, found a gorgeous ring, and waited for the right moment – but the moment never came. Because at 24 Jules left her and went to rejoin the Huntresses.

Heartbroken and alone Aurora tossed herself into her work, her sudden silence worried her father knowing his daughter had had such a rough go of things. So he came out to check on her. In doing so he asked if she cursed herself, if she had for some reason thought she deserved the pain. Insulted and upset she asked him what the hell he meant – and that’s when the truth came out. She was the daughter of Nike, goddess of Victory — and at the mention of her bio mother the goddess appeared. She scolded Richard for keeping her a secret for so long and not getting Aurora out of the horrible situation she had been in. Nike spent the next week training Aurora in her powers, teaching her about the Greek Gods and just – getting to know one another.

When the week was up Aurora knew her purpose, she would help politicians in fighting to protect those that couldn’t protect themselves and she would work with the government in actually physically saving those that were not in a good place. She got recruited to the FBI at 25 and dedicated her life to helping others; she used her ability to grant victory to her coworkers and slowly started to make big changes within the community. By 27 she had risen in the ranks and was slowly starting to choose her own assignments and partners. This is how she ended up on a case that kept her up at night. A human trafficking ring – that seemed to have something a bit odd going on, or odder than just the trafficking. Every fiber of her being screamed that it was demi-god related and she couldn’t let it go. She couldn’t sleep, couldn’t focus on anything other than these missing people. Was it related to the kidnappings of demi-gods around the world? She really didn’t know but she was damn determined to find out.

It took almost a full year to get it all together but they finally busted in on multiple clients of the ring. Each had at least one demi-god trapped and being used for personal gain. She kept close tabs on each person rescued, making sure therapy was set up and things were in place to take care of them…. When one just vanished. The fact that one of her charges vanished without a trace pissed off Aurora. She wanted Jane to get the best help and now – now she couldn’t. So, with a bit of research and time, she found Jane Doe on Icaria taken there by her demi-god father. Arrangements were made and Aurora was on her way to Icaria to find Jane and make sure she was okay.

LAUREN | SHE/HER | 30 | EST

[fcukyeahbettyenny]

I want BETTY EN NY S2 because:

-  I want to see Armando hiring his PI to track Freddy down for the confrontation of a lifetime.

-  I want to see Freddy go to jail. 

-  I want a flashback to Armando’s proposal.  We got two of Armando’s proposals to Marcela, Charlie’s proposal to Sofia, Efrain’s proposal to Jenny, but not the main couple’s proposal?  With a 100+ episode count, not showing the main couple’s proposal hardly seems fair.

-  I want a flashback where we get to see Betty wear a bikini to the beach on her and Armando’s honeymoon, attracting admirers that she doesn’t even notice.  Meanwhile Armando is at her side stewing, an odd mix of pride and homicidal tendencies.

-  I want to meet Armando and Betty’s baby!  I don’t care what Margarita thinks.  I am going to love that baby with all my heart.

-  I want to see Nicolas get married.  Patricia is okay because he loves her and she at least clearly loves what he does for her in bed and the depth of his wallet but really, I just wanna see Nicolas happy.

-  I want to see Roberto and Demetrio being rowdy father-in-law buddies because that would be amazing.

-  I want to see Margarita and Julia being grandmothers.  I want to see Margarita taking Beatriz Aurora Mendoza shopping and training her to become the little socialite while Julia teaches Beatriz Aurora how to be a good human being.  I just want to see the dynamics there.

-  I want to see more of Boss!Betty.  I don’t think I will get enough of that.

-  I want to see more of Armando being the doting husband and dad.

-  I want to see Armando crying his eyes out while taking little Beatriz Aurora to school and worrying about boys trying to take his little girl away from him even though she’s like, three and thinks boys other than her papa, abuelos, Tio Nicolas, Primo Tommy and the Peloton husbands are icky and gross.

-  I want to see Patricia finally warming up to Nicolas and really loving him.

-  I want to see Sandra’s wedding and her baby.

- I want to see Aura’s wedding and maybe a new baby of hers and Giovanni’s.

-  I want to see Hugo find love with someone for real.  I have met a few Hugos in my life.  They can be dicks sometimes but they deserve love, too, for bringing so much beauty into the world for us.

- I just want MORE, okay? Okay.

Day 25: Christmas Time- Victor, Lucien, Gavin and Kiro

There's been times before, you wish for so much more,/ When I was down and filled with doubt, I had you,/ And we made it through the year, it's so good to be here- Christmas C’mon, Lindsey Stirling ft. Becky G

Victor:

Of course, Victor cooks for Christmas, what else did you expect, you used Christmas as an excuse to eat and Victor loved to feed you.

Despite being a bog CEO and you being the head producer of your company, the two of you always made sure that you had Christmas off to spend with each other.

Every year Victor took you to see a ballet, ever since the two of you were dating, he had done this and he still continued this trend, and it became something you looked forward to, every year.

Melody loved going to the ballet, her eyes would always light up seeing the ballerinas dance across the stage, and this eventually sparked her interest in ballet, a passion Victor had no problem investing in.

Christmas for the Li’s always consisted of the annual LFG Christmas Gala, and every year all of you would attend, and every year by the end of the festivities, Victor would find you and his children sleeping on a couple of chairs in the corner of the ballroom, he would always smile fondly, rouse you all gently to take you home, and then proceed to tease you about it the next day.

The actual Christmas day was a pretty grand affair, Victor worked like clock-work regardless of him having day off or not, so he still got up early on Christmas, which was great for the children who would wake up early due to Christmas excitement, but it wasn’t great for you, who just wanted a lie in.

Despite Victor being the most pernickety person you had ever met, he didn’t have a problem letting the children help with any Christmas cooking, especially his son, who from very early on loved to cook (this based on some childhood stories my mum told me about me).

You loved watching this part of the Christmas traditions, as Victor always used a very soft and affectionate tone with his children, he explained things clearly, and he only ever raised his voice whenever the two were in any danger.

You always teased Victor that if Goldman saw how he acted with his children he would faint, or think the world was ending. (Victor never found it funny as you did).

Victor’s Dad and his Aunt always came to visit so you would have a nice big family Christmas dinner, but you would alternate whether you hosted or his father did. When you hosted your aunts and uncles and cousins would also visit, making the house both crowded and noisy.

Of course, Victor’s father and Aunt taught your children to play mahjong (you were still a bit of a lost cause), and you would play games together to varying degrees of success, (Monopoly was banned in your house after your children started crying that Victor was being too mean during a game).

Victor would always make a special Christmas pudding specifically for this day, that would be flavoured with whatever Christmas flavour was popular that year, which you never complained about, you were always happy to eat any of Victor’s cooking.

You would always take Christmas pictures together, and every year Victor would complain that maybe you should take professional photos, to which you would roll your eyes and then proceed to continue to take candid silly photos with your phone and camera (“Victor, no one wants to waste money on a fancy professional picture, I have a phone.”).

Victor made sure to always be off on Christmas day and also to always be home, because he firmly believed Christmas is for family and home, so he made sure that’s where he was, because you and children were his top priority. 

Lucien:

Lucien never really saw the true point of Christmas until he started dating you, but it wasn’t because he now felt the Christmas spirit, but more he enjoyed seeing you enjoy the Christmas spirit, you were always so bright to him throughout the rest of the year, but it was something about the festive season that made him unable to take his eyes off of you.

He let you take full control of all your Christmas plans, happy to just take a backseat and let you dictate how various things you wanted to do throughout the day, no matter how cliché it was, once you heard from Lucien how he didn’t “really do Christmas”, you were determined to have him try as many Christmas traditions as possible in hopes that he’d feel more inclined to enjoy Christmas.  

He always told you that you didn’t have to cook a lot as he knew how busy you were and you were only ever preparing for Christmas between the two of you.  

So, you would often spend Christmas morning cooking together, something you found both relaxing and enjoyable, however this had to be moved to Christmas Eve once Aurora was born so that you could spend most of the day with her.

Every year Lucien will take you to see the Loveland Christmas lights, and no matter how many years you go together, every year feels special, as you always went on a quiet evening so the three of you had the whole park to yourselves, to admire and run around under the twinkling lights.

You have your Christmas playlist blasting throughout the month and as you get closer and closer to the date, you and Lucien would dance around to your favourites, (read: you and Aurora would dance and sing, and Lucien would join in to humour you).

Lucien would often receive a lot of gifts from the Research Centre, so you never have to buy chocolates/ biscuits/ cakes around this time of year, as you always had a steady supply.

You would take the surplus treats, and you and Lucien would also buy enough gifts for all the children at the orphanage, going every single year to see their Christmas play and distributing the gifts, the smile that would light up their faces was like a gift that kept on giving.  

If you didn’t have any plans, or it was one or your quieter Christmases you would also go visit the children on the evening of the 25th, just to spend time with them and join the workers in giving the children a memorable Christmas.

Gavin:

Christmas was something you and Gavin kept to your small family of four, as New Year’s was spent with your extended family.

Every Christmas starts the same way for you, with a lie-in, Gavin and you just stay in bed enjoying each other’s presence without the morning rush, as both of you share this day off, Gavin never tells you but since he is conditioned to wake up early, he always watches your sleeping form rise and fall with your steady breathing, as the first sunbeams shimmer through the curtains and bathe your figure in a warm golden glow.

Then the both of you would spend Christmas in a very slow and lazy manner, glad to just have a day where the only commitment the two of you had was to each other.

However once Caleb and Ellie are born, this routine changes slightly, the two little ones knock on the door as early as possible, excited and ready to start the day, bouncing on the foot of the bed, to rouse the both of you into action.

Gavin and you both have a rule not to open presents until after lunch, and every year, no matter how much the children protest, you both stick rigidly to that rule.

So, you spend the morning watching Christmas movies, eating all the various sweet treats you had baked in the previous days, and drinking hot chocolate, (or if you’re allergic to chocolate like I am, just drinking tea/ coffee/ any other beverage).

Then you all sit down for Christmas dinner, and you often invite Eli and Minor to join you for this part of the festivities, something both of them don’t mind as they dote upon the children (although sometimes you do have to remind them they shouldn’t be competing for favourite uncle), and this part of the day is usually the loudest part of your day, and despite how exasperated Gavin always looks at the antics of his “friends”, you know that him seeing the bright smiles on his two children’s faces every year makes it all worth it... just.

Gavin’s brother also came some years to spend Christmas with you all, always happy to see the children, but you understood the rift between Gavin and his family, and never pushed Gavin to spend more time with them than he was comfortable with.

You love seeing your children opening presents at Christmas just because the way they do so, Ellie will rip the wrapping paper in the quickest way to get to the present inside, creating a mess of wrapping paper around her, but Caleb would carefully remove the tape, piece by piece, unfolding the wrapping paper trying to keep it as intact as possible. The stark difference between your two children always made you smile, that and the fact that after they had opened the presents the two of them would each, in turn throw themselves at you and Gavin for a big hug and a “thank you!”.

Eli and Minor at this point would always ask the children which gift they thought was the best and you and Gavin had taught them well as your children would always choose a gift neither of them had bought. (One year, Caleb being put on the spot picked Eli’s gift and Minor proceeded to sulk about it for the next three months, often throwing pointed barbs at you whilst at work, much to your amusement)

Once the two of them left, you and Gavin would spend the rest of the evening playing with the children and their presents, before having a late dinner, consisting of the leftovers from lunch, and an early night.

You and Gavin knew your Christmas’ weren’t as exciting as other people’s but the quiet, lazy kind of way you both did Christmas suited the both of you, you had enough chaos in your work life, so a quiet Christmas was always a well-appreciated gift.

Kiro:

Kiro often had to be abroad during Christmas for tours and filming so he was rarely free to spend Christmas at home in Loveland.

His solution- where he goes around Christmas, his family goes too!

The only time the two of you spent Christmas apart was the Christmas before the twins were born, you were too pregnant to fly, but to make up for it Kiro video called you for two hours, and when he wasn’t able to be on the phone with you he sent you multiple video updates of food that he tried and things that he did to celebrate whilst he was apart from you, but in every video he made sure to tell you that he loved you and missed you greatly.

Absolutely loves having his kids with him whilst he’s abroad during Christmas, especially if it’s somewhere he’s been before, because he loves taking you all to his favourite food places and celebrating other Christmas traditions together.

Takes so many pictures of your all during Christmas, wanting to document as many memories as he can with all of you that he can.

On the rare occasions that you can spend Christmas in Loveland, you and Kiro strive to make it feel as much as “home” as you can. The twins never see it as boring, just different because you’re at home.

You and Kiro would hide the presents around the house for each other, and later you would do the same for the children, and you would give the person looking a set of three clues for them to try and find their presents. As the age increases the difficulty of the clue also increases, and there was only one year where Kiro had to help you because you couldn’t figure out the last clue because he had made it too hard and you ended up sitting on the floor pouting, whilst Kiro apologised and then tried to explain the clue to you.

Kiro and you would make Christmas dinner together, because the only food he loves more than your cooking is Souvenir, and you would have fun goofing off and cooking together.

Kiro would have no problem dancing around the kitchen/ living room/ hotel room, to all your favourite Christmas songs, every year you both will belt out ‘All I want for Christmas Is You’ whilst dancing together in your socks and pyjamas, often dissolving into laughter at least twice during the song.

Another tradition you do whilst you’re at home is to make cookies with the whole family, the twins loved the whole process of cutting the cookies out in various fun shapes, but unlike before your kids when you only had to stop Kiro from eating the raw batter, now you had to stop three people from eating the batter, but despite your scolding the smile painted on your face clearly showed that you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Kiro loves having a family of his own to spend the holidays with, as even though Savin was always kind enough to let him spend the festive period with him and his family, he always felt a little like a guest rather than a part of the festivities.

So now he has his own special family he finds Christmas even more exciting, as he’s finally a part of something more that’s just him, and he has a group of people that love him and he loves unconditionally, and just being able to spend time with you all was the greatest gift he could ever receive.

🍄🌻💐🌳

🍄 What are your OCs favourite snacks? Their favourite comfort food which always cheers them up when they’re down? Favourite meal to make? Do they enjoy baking and cooking and are they any good in the kitchen?  Again, Orion absolutely hams up his interest in ocean life so his favorite snack/junk food is gummi sharks. He’ll crack open a bag of those any time he needs to concentrate or if he needs comfort food.  When he’s out, and he doesn’t have any easy method of contacting Pike to commission any more, he’ll stick with potato chips.As far as a meal meal, his favorite is chicken and waffles - or whatever the non-Earth planet equivalent is. He likes cooking over baking, but only does either on a rare occasion. 

🌻 What little things do they notice about people or the world around them that make them happy? What tiny little treasures do they find in the normal every day that makes the world seem a little brighter for them?  He strongly believes that you can tell a lot about a person when you see how they treat animals, and he basically lives by that. If there’s an animal around and the person seeing it is immediately a mush/goes to give it affection, it makes his day. As far as “the little things”- it seems redundant in his field, but he’s a sucker for the night sky. He pulled a lot of strings to get a cabin with a big viewing window, and he can stare out it, just looking at a certain aurora/visible galaxy for hours. 

💐 How does your OC handle being unwell or forced to rest in bed? Who cares for them and in what ways? Does your OC enjoy being doted on or are they a terrible patient? Reversed: is your OC good at taking care of others who are ill or in need?  He’s very much the equivalent to a dad friend, but multiplied in intensity when he’s sick. His friends will usually insist for him to stay in bed, and he will- but then he’ll make sure everybody is okay and keep asking if people have eaten/taken meds so they don’t catch anything from him/etc from his spot on the couch/bed. He’s basically the same when other people are sick, and he’s got the Dad voice down perfectly. He’s had to be beamed to the Enterprise on multiple occasions for when Jim and Bones just won’t fucking stop working when they need to rest just to get them to shut up, listen and relax. 

🌳 What is your OC’s favourite way to relax after a stressful day? Do they have a favourite book to curl up with? A hobby? Or do they have a nice bubble bath and have an early night to bed?  Same concept as the second question - he’ll grab a book/report/research and read it over or add to it while admiring the view outside, He also does haircuts for the crew on occasion, though it’s more of a side hustle than hobby. He’ll also play pool with Ishaan, Cady or anybody else who’s around.

The Unlikeliest Of Friendships

Chapter 1

I met him several months ago at a Question and Answer panel at an entertainment convention where I was working one weekend. We got talking about the TV show he was in and what it was like to play an on screen cop with an unorthodox approach to policing. 

We laughed and we swapped stories about when we first met, back in Miami. I didn't hear from him for months, when, out of the blue, he calls me up and offers me Q&A passes to another convention he was attending, in New York. 

We agreed to meet up again, after the convention was over. He asked me about my work and how long I had been working as a freelance journalist and where I was born; he knew my accent wasn't American and he seemed intrigued by that. The rest, as they say, is history.

I don't see him much, due to our clash in schedules, but when we do meet up, we make the most of it. This week marks three months, testing the water, and so far, so good. He lives in Nichols Canyon, I live in Palm Springs. He's away a lot of the year in Chicago, but we make it work and I think things are going as well as could be expected, under the circumstances...

When we first got to talking after months of not seeing one another after the build, we spoke about his children, who are eighteen and fourteen and that he was a doting dad and I loved that about him from the get go. 

We are very private and keep our relationship status between the two of us; due to people 'talking' and rumours spreading. Usually, about age differences and personal agendas. I love him for him, not his career and I care a lot about him too. 

We're taking things really slowly and it works, so far. We've both had bad pasts; we're both in kind of the same boat, so we work well together and we're there for one another. I separated from Randy a year and a half ago and he filed for a divorce in 2017; it was granted some years later.

I have a two year old daughter, with my ex husband, Randy Orton, who I love to the moon and back. Jason knew this from day one and he accepted it and from then on, we've been open and honest with each other and that's what makes us work so well; we really have no secrets.

Her name's Aurora Rose. She still sees Randy every weekend and he collects her and flies back with her to St Louis. He works full time, during the week, so weekends are his daddy and daughter time and I am good with that; I work a lot of weekends nowadays. I haven't introduced Jason to her yet, as this is still early days and I don't want her to meet him too early, in case this doesn't work out. 

When I separated from Randy, I moved to California and he moved back to Missouri. I rent out the house we shared in Leesburg and that provides me with an extra income. I am still both a journalist and Real Estate Developer.

Oh wait, let me explain myself here. A year and a half ago I split with Randy after five years, we separated on the terms of an amicable separation; in the hopes, one day, we could possibly reconcile... A few months ago, unintentionally, I bumped into Jason at the Question and Answer I mentioned, after not seeing him since the rebuild of his holiday home in Miami. 

We got to talking and we hit it off instantly; we've slowly been working on 'getting to know' each other and so far, so good! My parents, they take care of 'Rori' as I call her, when I am away with work or other none home life things; so I get a break. 

No one knows we're seeing one another and we're planning to keep it that way; for now at least. The last thing I need is for the press to come sniffing around; I am press, so I know how to slip the net, so to speak, and avoid every and all confrontations with the paparazzi.

This weekend I am at Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo is Rosemont and Jason will be there for the Saturday and Sunday Q&A panels with the casts of Chicago P.D, Fire and Med. This is my first official working weekend since we 'officially' called it a relationship.

This relationship is different to others I've been in; he's thirty years my senior, but I don't care. He cares for me in the way a man never has; he makes me laugh, he makes me feel special and he makes me feel like I am all that matters. 

When I'm with him, I feel safe, I feel comfortable and all I ever want to do is be with him and no one else. I love spending time with him and learning new things about him. I love being with him; nights in with him are something else.

We have wine, we have chocolate and we watch great movies together. We're taking things slowly and we're yet to have a night together, but right now, we're just taking things a step at a time and seeing how the land lies. 

There's no rush, we know what we want and we respect each others choices. We're very similar in that we want to make this work and not rush into anything. It's like being back at school and I like it; Randy and I rushed too quickly into our relationship and look where that got us?

******************** 

I sit here, packing my bag, ready for my weekend long convention in Rosemont, Illinois and I really can't wait. My hotel's been booked, I have a spa day booked for Friday night. Dinner Saturday night is with Jason, Jesse Lee Soffer and Jon Seda as we talk the season of Chicago P.D that they started filming a few months back.

I sit here, watching the sun setting over San Jacinto Mountain and all I can think of is how much my life is going to change. Aurora will be back on Tuesday, as I collect her from Elaine's before I come home from Chicago and I say goodbye to Jason for another month before he comes back to L.A to spend time with his boys on his days off.

As I lie here, in my hammock, watching the birds flying overhead, my phone rings 'Hank Video Calling', flashes on my display. I put down my evening cocktail and answer his call. He looks back at me with a smile as I watch him sitting there, in his Chicago apartment where he stays during filming schedule.

“Hey, how are you?” Jason smiles at me as I look back at him. “I miss you” He smiles and I feel my heart skip a beat. “Where are you?” He asks.

“In my garden, sitting in my hammock, watching the sunset, drinking my cocktail” I smile and I feel myself blushing. “Weather here is nice and warm, while you sit there, heating on, freezing your toes off” I smirk. 

“Rubbing it in much?” He smirks. “When you get here tomorrow, you'll so wish you were back there. Trust me, it's freezing here!” He laughs; that laugh has me smiling like a madwoman, it has hold on me like no other; so dreamy!

“Thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to pack my thermals then.” I laugh as I sip on my cocktail. “How was your day, have you finished filming for the evening yet?” I smile as he looks at me softly. He gives me that look I haven't seen in a man for years.

“I have finished my week, now its onto the convention here and then I have Sunday off and then it's back to the grind, before I head on home, Friday night, to have my boys for the weekend” He explains, with a smile.

Merry Christmas Munnnn!

With Etro’s death, Behamut regaining power in Lucis, and the crystals eventual shattering- one thing has remained constant.

When Noctis become the new god of the dead, there was a balance shift. Things were going back to normal; however, that also ment things that have been long gone since Etro’s depature have slowly started to return. Dark figues, banshees, evil spirits, ect have all started to appear around Eos. This is where Aurora’s line comes in.

Even thought Noctis is the new god of the dead, the fact still remains that the souls of the dead chose Aurora to be their shepherd whilst Etro was off doing her thing. Meaning, this is one of the few things Bahamut can’t do shit about. Which- to this day- pisses him off to no end. Because of these combining factors, Noctis not only allows Aurora to keep her Shepherd status, Aurora bloodline has officially been charged to be shepherds. Acting as a replacement for the fading Oracles.

Over on Noctis side, Noctis has slightly more frequent cuddle sessions with his dad. 

Noctis also runs the kingdom of the dead like he did with Lucis. 

Regis sort of acts as an un official advisor, of course once iggy dies he becomes Noct’s advisor; however, there are still many things Regis is more experienced with. After all, they did work together when they were both alive.

Bahamut has and extreme dis like for both Noctis and Regis. Noctis because…Well…You know. But for Regis, it’s because not only did he defy the prophecy but because of him, instead of 114 souls, he has 113.

Yeah, that’s right, Magnus doesn’t rejoin the Lucii. In a split second decision- he decided to stay with his wife- Lyra.

When the usual god meeting takes place, Noctis always struts in where an overly expensive black cashmere suit from Accordo. Some times Regis gets dragged there as well, when ever Noct needs another pair of eyes and ears. However, both spirits honestly don’t give a shit. Like, Bahamut can sit there and wave his swords at Noctis, and Noct is stone cold, ‘I don’t give a fuck’.  

100 Years or so after Noct’s ascension of being the new god of the dead, trouble brews in Eos once more.

There is a revival in the cult of Eos. The revival has been going on for 50 years, and since then the cult has gained a massive following. They were harmless enough for a while; however their new leader is bat shit crazy. And has lead a crusade against the Caelum family, especially against Shepherds. It is also around this time that spirits of the dead have stopped coming to the kingdom of the dead.

Which brings us to Polaris Caelum, the last in the line of Shepherds.

After jumping several loops involving going to the other Caelum for a special pot device term that could transport him to and from the land of the dead (because your not tell me that mister doting father over here did not have a way to visit his kids and grand kids).

So once he’s before Noctis and Regis, he explains the situation.

“The lead of the cult is fuckin’ crazy.”

“He has entered into the territory of Behemoth fuckin’ mad.”

“His goal is to get to the astral plain so he can…Eat Bahamut while he sleeps so he can become the new god of light. And he’s absolutely convinced that the only way he can do that is to open the gates to the kingdom of the dead so he could travel though it to the astral plain.”

Regis actually blinked at this.

When asked how the cult leader planned on opening the gates, Polaris states that the guy has one of Bahamut’s swords that fell to eos during the clash with etro.

And the general air in the room is 'shit’.

((Here it is! Merry Christmas mun!))
