if you can make one with Travis Kelce and reader where they have a baby and reader goes into labor with the baby

ITS TIME

˒ ⌕ masterlist . . .

parings: travis kelce x wife!reader

summary: that one where you're pregnant and it's time to meet your little one.

an: I went with Travis and Y/N having a five-year-old kid. I know you asked for a baby, but I wasn't sure how to do it and I just loved how the story evolved, so I didn't have the heart to change it. Hope you like it.

type: fluff ಇ

It was a typical morning, much like many others during your pregnancy. You got up and watched your husband sleeping as you searched for your slippers to head downstairs and start making breakfast for the family, despite Travis's wishes.

Travis didn't want you to exert yourself during the pregnancy – it was the same during Aiden's and now during Ivy's.

You were beating some eggs when you heard the little steps of Aiden coming down the stairs.

"Mommy! Is today the day?" the little one asked excitedly, hugging your leg. Ever since Aiden overheard your conversation with Donna that Ivy would arrive by the end of December, he became super protective of you.

"Not yet," you said with a smile, bending down to pick up the 5-year-old.

"She's taking too long," he pouted, running his hand over your belly. "Daddy promised she'd come faster." That made you laugh, earning a scowl from your son.

"I think it's time for Daddy to wake up, don't you think?" You innocently asked Aiden.

And you watched the little one run upstairs to wake up his father.

While you were setting the coffee table, you were surprised by a pair of muscular arms hugging you from behind and a kiss on your neck from your husband.

"Good morning, dear," Travis said with a huge smile.

"Good morning, Mr. Kelce." You turned and gave him a brief kiss on the lips, receiving an "Eww" from Aiden, making both of you laugh.

The rest of the day flew by; Travis had training with the Chiefs, so you spent the afternoon playing with Aiden, who bombarded you with questions about his sister.

As soon as the clock struck six, you decided it was time to prepare dinner, but the moment you got up from the carpet where you were building Legos with Aiden, you felt liquid running down your leg.

"Mommy? Did you pee?" Aiden looked curious.

And before you could respond, you heard the garage gate opening by Travis. "Honey, I'm home!" He shouted from the garage.

"I think it's time," you told him as he walked through the kitchen door.

"Time for what?" He looked at you, clearly not understanding.

"Mommy peed," Aiden said excitedly as if sharing a secret.

"OH MY GOD, IT'S TIME!" Travis realized and started panicking. "SHOULD I CALL YOUR PARENTS? OR MINE? I NEED TO TAKE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL!" Travis began frantically searching for the phone.

You found his hysteria amusing. "Travis, your phone is in your pocket," you approached and touched his shoulder. "Everything will be fine. We've done this once, and we'll manage again," you reassured calmly.

"Oh, dear, how are you so calm?" He asked, laughing.

"I'll get Ivy's bag," you said as you headed to the adjacent office. "Call your parents to stay with Aiden at the hospital!" You yelled to Travis.

"Can I bring my Legos?" Aiden asked, holding the plastic pieces, and when Travis called his mom. "Of course, buddy."

"Is Ivy coming?" Aiden ran after you to ask. "I think she already senses that you're getting ready to be an official big brother, sweetheart," you replied to him. "Ivy is coming!" Aiden ran off excitedly.

"Are we ready?" Travis asked as he helped you to the car, despite the small delay caused by your disagreement – him wanting to carry you to the car and you preferring to walk to dilate faster. "More than ever," you said, giving your husband a kiss.

Came to an epiphany regarding Nüwa, so I'm making it y'all's problem too 🐍⚫ Let's do a breakdown.

-Villainess: Nüwa was a "villainess" because she wouldn't follow society's norms. She liked to take action instead of sitting around and letting things happen. She's wasn't afraid to get hurt and messy. She wouldn't sit around and be disrespected and objectified by anyone, especially not a man who's beneath her. She'd do whatever she wanted without concern of what others thought. She's arrogant, antagonistic, temperamental, and spiteful unlike how a "proper lady" should act. Nüwa is the opposite of what a patriarchal society thinks women should be and she's hated for it. 

-Hakumen: Hakumen may have been Nüwa's most loyal servant and idolized her like no other, but Hakumen doesn't seem to understand Nüwa as well as she believe she does. Sure, Nüwa showed her that spiteful, hateful side that she kept hidden, even from her own brother, but that's it. She just saw a woman behaving wickedly, going down and speaking cruelly to those already suffering, with no care for other's opinions and decided not to look deeper into it because, like Fuxi believed, "Nüwa would simply do whatever she wanted because she wanted". While, yes, Nüwa did do things because she was selfish and just wanted to, there was still a motivating force behind those actions. That's what Hakumen didn't understand.

Nüwa sent Hakumen to deal with Emperor Zhou after he disrespected her and she did way more than what was necessary. She hurt so many innocent people because she was only concerned with behaving wickedly and causing as much choas and devastation as possible. It's what Nüwa would've wanted after all, right? Then why did Nüwa betray her and sell her out in the end?

Hakumen said that Nüwa's love always came with war. That what ultimately got her exiled was that she fell for a hermit named Erlang Shen, otherwise known as Yang Jian. He was a famous warrior who fought for Emperor Zhou and was sent to hunt down Hakumen. Nüwa was the one who captured her and handed her over to his entourage to be exiled. Did she really just attack Zhou to get Erlang Shen's attention? Did she betray Hakumen for some man and have it back fire on her? Was she trying to save Erlang Shen from his fate? Hakumen clearly didn't understand what was going through Nüwa's head, so it's hard to take her word for anything. Part of me does believe that there was some validity to Hakumen's words though. Maybe Nüwa did fall for that genius hermit and maybe she did have a reason for behaving the way she did.

Though, I think the reason for why Nüwa betrayed might be more obvious than Hakumen realizes. She simply didn't listen to Nüwa's orders and caused more devastation than was necessary. Nüwa didn't intend to cause a war when she sent Hakumen down there. She only wanted to harm Emperor Zhou for disrespecting her and Hakumen took it too far. A subordinate who can't follow simple direction simply isn't a good subordinate.

-Fuxi: Most people seem to be under the impression that Nüwa hated Fuxi, but I'm pretty sure that she did genuinely love him. They're Yin and Yang. While differing in nature, they're still complementary to each other. They're a unit. It's just not in their nature to genuinely be at each other's throat.

Fuxi already knew how Nüwa was even if she didn't show it to him directly and he still loved her regardless. It's not like she had to maintain a persona around him. Nüwa didn't have to entertain Fuxi's wishes to do sibling activities like strolling through gardens together or allowing him to cook for her, but she still did. She probably just genuinely wanted to spend time with her brother even if he was an annoying, clingy gnat.

No, I think that Fuxi was more of an annoyance to Nüwa if anything. Fuxi was someone who had became desensitized to the devastation of the world and who had fallen into a pattern of letting nature run it's course instead of acting. He thought that all of Nüwa's efforts were pointless because everything would end the same way anyways. He thought lesser of her as if she were just a stubborn child who didn't understand the ways of the world. She hated the way he'd use his fortune telling to skip to the end instead of experiencing things for himself. She hated how he just sat back and let things happen instead of fighting. Fuxi refused to act for all of his life and that's how he ultimately lost her in the end.

Nüwa may have disliked his way of living, but I still believe that she loved Fuxi in her own way.

-Shennong: Why give her sacred artifact to a stranger instead of her own brother or most loyal servant? Shennong just had something that both Fuxi and Hakumen lacked. Fuxi had already given up and developed his passive, pessimistic ways. Hakumen, no matter how close she believes she was to Nüwa, didn't understand her or her intent and took things too far. Shennong was the most like Nüwa. He was someone who continued to fight stubbornly even when it was a clear losing battle. He sacrificed his own health to try to find a way to cure others of their ailments. He ended up collapsing alone on the battlefield, writhing in pain from the irreversible damage he had done to his own body and the injuries he earned in combat, because he pushed himself too hard all in the hopes to save his people, even if it was just a single soul. It was something that Nüwa did day after day when the heavens tore and she'd go down to try to repair it, only to return home covered in cuts and bruises like clockwork. They were unknowingly two of a kind.

Fuxi would've let Nüwa's banner go to waste and run rampant while Hakumen would've potentially abused it for her destructive ways. Shennong was smart though. He understood the way the banner functioned and found a way to use it to save others. With it, it was no longer just a losing game since he was now able to predict where war would break out and he'd be able to respond swiftly to help others. Even it was small, it made a difference and that's all that matters.

-Actions: I've been questioning what Nüwa could've possibly been thinking when she acted. I don't believe she simply acted selfishly and therefore did whatever she desired. That was a part of the reason, but there had to be a driving force behind it. It's never as simple as "I just felt like it", right? Her actions seemed to be so contradictory. Why did she go down there countless times when the heavens broke and act so vitriolic to everyone just to turn around and try to repair the heavens with her own two hands? What was the point of destroying countries herself when she was just going to come home hurt, covered in cuts and bruises from trying to stop the devastation? It really didn't make sense to me. That was until Hakumen quoted a line that made it all click. "It's all the fault of that wicked woman". Everyone blamed the devastation in Penglai on Nüwa and that's exactly what she wanted.

I genuinely believe that Nüwa behaved so wickedly in order for her people to not lose hope and to continue fighting for their lives.

Penglai focuses on the grand scheme and letting nature run it's course. Nothing you could do really matters because no matter what, nature will win, and things will return to how they're meant to be in the end. War, devastation, disaster, famine, plagues are all things that seem like a big deal now, but they don't matter and are so inconsequential in the bigger picture. If the people of Penglai understood this, then they would simply give up and accept whatever if thrown at them like Fuxi had. After all, how could they fight against their inevitable fates? Nüwa didn't want this. It didn't matter if things would return to how they were meant to be in the end or how inconsequential it seemed to be in the bigger picture. The pain these people were experiencing was real and it shouldn't be disregarded and swept under the rug. They still mattered. Even if you argued that she didn't love these beings she created herself, it's just not in her nature to let them give up. Nüwa favored the fighters. That's why she liked Shennong and disliked Fuxi. Shennong didn't give up while Fuxi did.

Nüwa needed to give them something else to fight against. Someone to blame for all the problems of the world. Someone that could be defeated to give them hope. That's why everytime the heavens tore and war broke out, she'd go down spitting vitriol at everyone and garner their hatred. That's why she sent her familiars like Hakumen to destroy dying countries. Even when she wasn't actually responsible, she'd still go down there and act as if she was and give no real answer to if she really was when directly asked. As long as people believed that "it's all the fault of that wicked woman" she was satisfied. This was her love and with it came war.

Nüwa's actions might've been a surprising display of martyrdom that I've overlooked this entire time. I mean, it makes the most sense to me. She is "The Great Mother" after all, so wouldn't go through great lengths to save her "children".

Nüwa is so fickle and indecipherable though, so it's hard to read her true intent.

Just know that I love women, god speed.

[x-liv25-jamieswife]

Hey i read ur gray dying hcs. Can you make some for jamie too?? Thanks!!

(and maybe avery could be after)

people's reaction to jameson's death head canons

avery: she would be absolutely destroyed. she would not get out of bed and seriously consider offing herself (its up to you if she actually does off herself). it would get so bad alisa and the others would have to intervene and get her professional help. she would only get out of bed to visit his grave. i also hc that he'd have a pre-written letter for her if he ever died that he gave to alisa (he told her to give it to avery when he died). she would reread that letter over and over again until her eyes became blurred with tears. she'd also get really mad at the world for ripping all of the people she loves away from her. she'd stop working, eating, drinking, showering, etc. basically, she'd be so wrecked she wouldn't be able to handle anything.

grayson: he'd try to keep everyone together but would fail miserably bc he's also falling apart at the seams. he'd work to try to distract himself but nothing ever took jamie's death off of his mind. he'd visit his grave everyday regretting everything that happened with emily bc of what it did to his relationship with jamie. i think he'd also find a way to blame himself. he'd apologize to jamie every single time he visited his grave for not being the best brother. he'd end up hiring someone to do his work for him bc he just wouldn't be able to do it. yk what emily's death did to him but this would be 1391938 times worse. he'd be crying 24/7 and he'd also wonder if life was worth living (like avery). he would think he deserved to die instead of jamie.

xander: basically the same thing i put in my 'how would people react if grayson died post'. he'd crack is usual jokes in hopes of getting people to laugh and loosen up all while dying on the inside. he'd occasionally slip up and forget jamie was still alive. he'd be working on smth and would think 'huh let me ask jamie what he thinks about this' just to then realize jamie's gone. he'd also visit his grave to leave little gadgets and notes there/talk to him. i think the grief would hit him so hard he wouldn't be able to work on his inventions and experiments anymore. he'd just sit in his lab, dissociating, thinking about jamie and how shitty his life is now that he's gone. he'd check up on everyone, especially avery cause, like i said, she's not getting out of bed.

nash: pretty much the same thing i said in my grayson post. would also try to keep the family going but would also fail miserably. he wouldn't let anyone see him fall apart except for libby. he'd, in a way, think he failed at keeping his brother safe, and, that he didn't do the one thing he was supposed to do as jamie's older brother. he'd become extra protective of his two remaining siblings and avery. he visits jamie's grave balling his eyes trying to think of a way he could've saved jamie. unlike avery, he'd have to get out of bed. staying in bed makes him feel even worse so he gets up and either checks on the others or works. i can also imagine him feeling so depressed he's just numb to everything except anything that concerns jamie or his family. he wouldn't care about the things he cared about before and would just lose it.

libby: the one who's actually keeping everyone together. she's making sure everyone is fed, bathed, etc and makes sure everyone has someone to talk to or cry to. meanwhile, she'd be grieving too. even though she's not as close to jamie, his death would still hit her hard. her baking would get completely out of hand. sm that people had to make an intervention bc they couldn't eat all of the cupcakes. she'd bring the cupcakes to jamie's grave (like i said in my grayson post). she'd start crying at any time of the day when she sees smth that reminds her of him (this is basically the exact same thing i wrote in my grayson post but i wanted to include her cause she's the best. i just think she'd react the same to all of the brother's deaths (except nash))

not proof read so sorry if there are grammar mistakes or smth doesn't make sense.

[svt-yexi]

Moment: PANIC!

Summary: Yexi has a realization that throws her into a panic and she needs her best friend to help her navigate it.

Yexi knocked on the door of the apartment and shifted from foot to foot while she waited impatiently. It took a few moments until the door opened and her best friend waved her inside where she immediately slipped off her shoes and grabbed her slippers before heading to sit on the couch.

"Okay, so what's going on? All you said was that you were heading over because it was an emergency. Which, by the way, interrupted my live with ARMY." even though he wasn't physically pouting she could hear it in his voice. "Wait, why are you in your pajamas?"

She waved off his minor worry, "I couldn't sleep and I was too lazy to change. Plus, you're the only one up at this god forsaken hour."

"Okay..." He let the word hang in the air waiting for her to answer him but all she did was pace in his living room while chewing on her thumb nail. "Seriously you're starting to freak me out, what's going on?"

She stopped her pacing to look up at him, "So you know how I've been binge watching Jun's new drama right?"

There was a moment of silence between them before Jungkook dropped his arms and looked at her incredulously, "This is why you're here at three in the morning?!"

"You don't understand!" she whined.

"I swear Yexi, If this is about the plot or something--"

"Its not!"

Jungkook raised an eyebrow at her as he sat down on the couch, "Then what the hell is going on?" He watched her start to pace again and shook his head at her not understanding what his best friend was freaking out about.

"So I've been watching Jun's drama, right? I've known him for so many years and he's like a brother to me..." she paused to worry her bottom lip.

"And?"

"And I finished the drama and now I'm feeling some type of way towards him!" She blurted out in a rush. The silence that hung in the air lasted longer than Yexi could stand before Jungkook burst out laughing causing her to glare at him. "What part of this is funny!?"

He put up a placating hand while trying to gain control of his laughter, "Sorry, Sorry! It's just you're freaking out because you found him attractive after watching his drama?"

"YES!" She yelled.

"Yex, it's a drama." He stated between fits of laughter.

Yexi glared at him, "Yes, I'm well aware of that. Thank you."

Jungkook gasped dramatically, "Oh my god! Your mom is going to be so happy about this."

Yexi kicked out at him but he was faster and caught her leg making her jerk it back towards her, "If you breathe a word of this to my mother I will disown you." she threatened.

"Oh, come on." he laughed, finding the entire situation hilarious.

"I seriously regret her learning Korean to be able to talk to you guys." she grumbled before looking back at him, "The last thing I need is my mother getting ideas."

"Why? She'd be so ecstatic to get the son in law she's wanted for you." he continued.

"It's not like that between us!" She snapped and he grinned at her.

"See. You don't see him that way so why are you freaking out?"

"Because it's weird feeling attracted to him like this." she mumbled.

"Odds are you like the character he played. How he was in the drama is probably different from how he normally acts around you." he said patting the space next to him.

Yexi walked over and plopped down beside him, "You don't understand. The fact that I'm even feeling this makes me terrified."

His brows furrowed, "Why?"

She sighed, "A few reasons. One, if I truly felt this way about one of the guys it could fuck with the team dynamic. Two, it would only prove everyone right that said I'd end up dating one of my members and I would get so much shit for it. I'd be attacked with comments calling me a whore and god knows what else."

"Okay, first, nothing would ever mess with your team dynamic and you know that. Second, I don't think that's what's happening right now." he shrugged.

"How so?"

Jungkook sighed, "Okay I'm going to be bluntly honest with you. At some point in the years we've known each other I ended up with the biggest crush on you," he watched as Yexi's eyes went wide, "but that's not the case anymore. Outside of my members you're the person that knows me best, its also no secret that you're attractive...someone would have to be blind not to see that," Jungkook gave her a shy smile with slightly flushed cheeks, "but the point I'm trying to make is that just because you find him attractive now or have a crush on him doesn't mean it's going to go anywhere. You decide where this goes Yex. If you decide you want to see where it goes then you can choose to tell him, or you can choose not to tell anyone, it's completely up to you. Even if you do end up having actual feelings for him it's not the end of the world. It wouldn't ruin anything. For me, I limited the amount of time I hung out with you when I was dealing with what I felt. It took a while but it did end up going away and I'm happier for that. You're like my other half, platonically of course."

He waited as Yexi processed everything he had told her before continuing, "If it makes you feel any better you are my parents 'Jun'."

Her eyes snapped up to meet his, "Wait, what?"

"Since my mom met you she's pushed me to make a move on you. She literally calls you her future daughter in law." he rolled his eyes.

She grinned triumphantly, "I knew I was the favorite."

This time Jungkook rolled his eyes because of her, "Yes, yes, you're the favorite." The two sat in silence for a bit before he continued, "Do you feel better now?"

"I guess. I'm still processing some of it, ya know 'cause..." she glanced at him only to look away a few seconds later, "Anyways. Can I just crash here?"

"Yeah, guest room is finally set up. Just make sure you tell someone where you are. I don't want anyone beating down my door tomorrow morning." He shot her a pointed look.

"That was one time, and said I was sorry!" She whined.

"Yeah, yeah. Goodnight Yex." he lazily waved at her over his shoulder as he left to head towards his bedroom.

Apologies (Roman Reigns x OC)

Angst/Fluff.

Description: Roman wants to apologize to Jey for the way he treated him in the bloodline but struggles with expressing his feelings of remorse.

Kayfabe compliant, this is story about Roman not Joe.

You can find my other stories here.

And you can read more of Roman and Lilith specifically here.

Exhausted. He was emotionally exhausted. Lilith gave Roman an encouraging smile as she offered him the glass of Bourbon she'd just poured up for him. Roman's gaze barely leaves the the notebook in his lap. He could do many things. He could spear men twice his size, he could lock in a guillotine in a manner that's practically inescapable, he could break record after record - But to apologize? No. That's different.

"Let me hear it again." Lilith prompted supportively.

Roman sighs and begins to read from his notes, "Jey, I really could've handled things differently and I see how I treated you was unfair..." Roman trailed off, "I can't say this, Lil. I did everything I did for HIM. To elevate him. For our family. Our bloodline. Life isn't fair." Roman said.

"Ro, do you want to fix your relationship with your little cousin or not?' Lilith questioned.

"Of course I do, but I need him to see my side of things too." Roman said.

"Do you think you're struggling to verbalize your emotions because you're afraid of being perceived as weak?" Lilith asked.

Roman thought for a moment, unsure what to say. "I guess that's possible." he shifted uncomfortably. Putting his pride aside wasn't easy. Admitting he could have been a better Tribal Chief at times wasn't easy.

He went through years and years of harassment, of borderline abuse from the WWE Universe before he finally snapped and took what he and his family deserved. Last time he was this vulnerable, the people who were supposed to cheer him on kicked him while he was down.

Seth betrayed him. Hit him in the back with a chair and busted up the shield. He lost his brother that day. Not his friend. His brother. Dean left not long after. Another brother gone. Years pass, he grows fond of Sami Zayn and what does he do? the same thing Seth did. Not just that but in Roman's mind, he successfully turned his cousins against him.

Everybody leaves. No matter how hard he tries. No matter if he's the good guy or the bad guy. That's why he's chosen to simply be THE guy.

The only person he trusts with his heart is Lilith, and even so he's been known to lose sleep wondering if it's a matter of time before he decides she isn't good enough. If he loses the title will she leave? if he's knocked off of the top of the mountain will she still be there?

That's part of why he's so dedicated to extending an olive branch to Jey, even if he feels he's making an absolute fool of himself. He has to be a better man. For Lilith.

"What if you write him an apology letter instead?" Lilith asked.

With that, Roman spent the afternoon penning a letter to his cousin with Lilith by his side soothingly rubbing his broad shoulders for moral support, He sits down at their dining table, a pen in hand and a blank sheet of paper before him. The room is dimly lit, with the soft glow of a candle casting flickering shadows on the walls. Roman begins to pour his emotions onto the paper. He takes a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the flickering flame of the candle, and begins to write his apology.

"Dear Jey,

I hope this letter finds you well. I've been wrestling with my feelings and regrets, and I find myself needing to express them to you. First and foremost, I want to apologize for my actions and the pain they may have caused you. I may not fully understand your decision to team up with Cody Rhodes, but I realize now why you've decided to leave the bloodline.

I want you to know that my love for our family, our bloodline, has always been at the forefront of my decisions. Every step I took, every move I made, was with the intention of protecting and upholding our legacy. But in doing so, I failed to see the impact it had on you, my cousin, my brother.

I am hurt, Jey. Hurt that you chose to align yourself with Cody Rhodes, someone who I perceive as a threat to our bloodline. It felt like a betrayal. I am hurt that you attempted to take my position as tribal chief. I'm hurt that at every turn whether is be with Sami or with Jimmy or even with Cody you failed to choose my side. But looking back, I realize that family is more important than any rivalry or personal agenda.

I want to mend our relationship, to rebuild the bond we once had. We've faced countless challenges together, and I believe we can overcome this as well. Let's set aside our differences and find a way to heal the wounds that have come between us.

I am committed to making amends, to listening to your side of the story, and to understanding your perspective. I value you, Jey, and I want nothing more than to have you back by my side, fighting alongside me in the ring and in life as my right hand man.

Please know that I am here, ready to talk and listen whenever you are. Let's find a way to move forward together, for the sake of our bloodline.

With love and remorse

- Your Tribal Chief, the head of the table, your cousin.

Roman Reigns"

Roman finishes writing and reads the letter aloud, feeling the weight of his words as he fights back tears. He refused to cry. Lilith reaches out and places a comforting hand on his, offering support and reassurance. She believes that this heartfelt letter will serve as a catalyst for their reconciliation, hoping that Jey will see the sincerity in Roman's words. She knew this was far from easy for him.

Roman takes a deep breath, feeling a mix of vulnerability and determination. He knows that this letter is his best chance to convey his true emotions to Jey, to show him how much he values their bond as family. With Lilith's guidance, he revises a few sentences, ensuring that his apology is genuine and heartfelt.

Once satisfied with the final version of the letter, Roman folds it neatly and tucks it into an envelope. He seals it and places it on the kitchen counter, ready to be delivered to Jey.

"You did good, Ro. You should be proud of yourself." Lilith said.

Roman gives a small, appreciative smile. Her words bring a sense of comfort and validation to his anxious mind. He takes a moment to let her words sink in, feeling a glimmer of pride and gratitude for her unwavering support.

"Thank you, Lil," Roman replies, his voice warm with sincerity. "I couldn't have done it without you by my side."

Lilith reaches over and gently squeezes Roman's hand, her eyes reflecting a mixture of pride and affection. "You've shown true growth, Roman. It takes strength to acknowledge our mistakes and make amends. I believe in you, and I know that your heartfelt gesture will make a difference."

"The bloodline means everything to me, family means everything to me. I want nothing more than to have Jey back by my side, fighting together."

Lilith's gaze softens as she listens to Roman's heartfelt words. She understands the depth of his desire to mend his relationship with Jey, to restore the unity and strength of their family. She reaches out to gently brush her fingers against his cheek, offering him a reassuring smile.

"Your sincerity will shine through, and I believe that Jey will see it too. Trust in the bond you share, and give him the time he needs. Remember, apologies are just the beginning. It's through actions and consistent effort that true healing and forgiveness can be achieved."

Roman takes a deep breath and nods allowing Lilith's words to wash over him. Her presence and guidance have been instrumental in his journey towards growth and reconciliation. With newfound determination, he sets his sights on the future, ready to do whatever it takes to rebuild the bond with his cousin and bring their family back together. Roman gives a small smile and leans in for a kiss.

Lilith kisses him back with love and passion, "You've got this, Ro." She said.

[itisbop]

Can you tell me some of your head cannons for the retropolis trio?

Ask, and you shall receive!

Bull

- He was the founder of the Gang!

- He and Pam were married, but a little after Jessie was born, they divorced. This is a key reason why he's not as rowdy as he used to be.

- He went to culinary school and got a degree.

- In order to get his life back together, he decided to open a diner.

- Everybody knows he still can't get over his and Pam's break up and jokes about it with him.

- In this AU (my take on the lore more shall be explained soon), his exposure to the gem's radioactive materials still causes him to go bananas like we see in CCTV, but it's more gradually and slowly. Pam, being part of Spude, soon noticed this and realized that their relationship was as good as over due to his deteriorating behavior. Thankfully, it seems that his mental state didn't fully deteriorate as he still has some sense in him.

Crow

- In this AU, Crow used to be human! However, prolonged exposure caused him to start turning into a crow. It was a long and painful process.

- He and Lola used to be part of a gang. They got lost in the park as it seemed to have kept expanding and changing as the traveled. Somewhere along the way, they found an alive Poco.

- He and Lola were taken away shortly after Poco's death to be experimented and observed. The park wanted to see if they could catch key symptoms that were causing all these werid changes within' park employees and visitors. Safe to say, he doesn't like the park.

- He eventually got out and was found by Bull. Bull was nice enough to give him a place to stay (same for Bibi, you'll see soon.)

- He, Bo, and Mr.P are all step-brothers. They had the same mother but different fathers. He is the youngest while Bo is the oldest.

- He is the sole reason why Mortis survived out in the west.

- Speaking of Mortis. They're good friends (No Time To Explain Trios, my beloved), but GOD do they fight a lot. Spike is tired of it.

- He and Bibi are roughly the same size. They share a motorbike

- He's insecure as hell. And understandably. You'll definitely think of yourself differently with such drastic changes to your body.

- Bull, Bibi, Janet, and Bonnie are at least 110% sure he has a crush on Stu. Stu is clueless.

- Somehow, he and Mortis can't stop ending up in the same places together. Retropolis? Mortis is for some reason there. Mecha Squad? Oh, hi Mortis, I guess you're part of this now.

- It wasn't as obvious in Brawlywood, but Mortis did persuade Crow into trying to act. He enjoys it.

- He and Piper are friends!

- Amber and him are friends that the others are afraid by the fact they hang out. Their trios think something might burn to the ground due to the both of them (or freeze).

- Leon looks up to Crow. He wants to be a ninja and believes Crow is one (although he's not). He wants to be "as cool as Crow" as he puts it.

- Crow and Shelly hate each other's guts. Shelly's pissed that he can commit crime while she can't cause she's stuck with the sheriff. There are other reasons, but that's just ONE.

Bibi

- I don't really have a clear idea of how the park changes her, but as for backstory, this is what I have. She was bullied for a long time for being deemed "nerdy" and liking "nerdy things.". However, one day, the bullying was taken too far. On a trip to Starr Park, her bullies managed to strand her somewhere in the park, and she got lost. Distraught and completely broken, she went to Bull's Diner (the closest place for her), begging for any type of help. At that point, she didn't want to return home to where the bullies were. So, just like Crow, he took her in under his wing.

- She's a huge fan of Melodie! (I thought the Melodie and Bibi ship was cool, but it personally wouldn't work with the hcs I have for Melodie, sorry).

- She's one of the only people not to be completely creeped out by Colette. To a degree, Bibi sees a little of her geeky self in her.

- This goes the same for Brock!

- She'd play Ninjala. No questions needed. Look the game up, and you'll see why.

Overall

- The Retropolis Gang are the Rivals of Ranger Ranchers for obvious reasons. (Spike barely helps Colt and Shelly though anyways and he could not care less for the beef).

- Barley is their therapist. They don't why or how, but he's good at advice.

- They do have a reputation for bullying some of the other brawlers. Especially if their name is Carl.

- I like to think that a lot of the more criminal stuff happens behind closed doors when the diner's empty. When it's open, they disguise to seem just like any ol' regular diner.

- The Arcade Trio regular comes to visit even Rico fucking hates all of them.

- The Undead Trio is visit lots too.

And that's it! If I have more, I'll share it with ya'll!

FNaF Movie Ramble

Long story short, I really like the movie, I really like Mike, Vanessa, and Abby, and I want them to be happy.

There be spoilers beyond this point.

I love the little found family that started forming between Vanessa with Mike and Abby. I know it hasn't gone anywhere yet, but we all know the signs. Please, Mr. Cawthon, let Vanessa take on an older sister/mother figure role like Mike.

I love how Mike has a roundabout way of talking when he's being emotional. He doesn't just say, "I love you," or, "Thank you," to Abby and Vanessa respectively, he rambles and goes on whole tangents about why he feels that way and it works. It works so good. And I am also talking about game Mike.

I love how William was handled. I was surprised he didn't get a lot of screen time, but it works. William is a behind-the-scenes guy. It's not until he comes on stage, front and center, that you realize what he's been doing this whole time. And the scenes he is in, he kinda steals the show. I didn't expect William to have an outburst near the end when the animatronics started turning on him, but of course he would. In his eyes, he made them better than they were ever going to be alive, and not even seconds ago, they considered him a friend. And the sheer confidence of this man to put the Spring Bonnie head back on while actively being spring locked is insane. (Anyone else think William may have forced Vanessa to learn how to treat wounds for whenever he had issues with the spring lock suit?)

William giving a young Vanessa the toys from his victims makes me wonder if game William did the same. Of course, when game William started killing, his kids were long since dead, but still. Imagine, Michael going into his siblings' rooms that aren't touched unless they're being cleaned, and he starts seeing these toys that don't belong to Elizabeth and Evan, but they look like toys they'd like. At first, Michael ignores it, thinking he just didn't notice it at first, even though he knows. He knows everything that's supposed to be in that room and he knows those toys aren't supposed to be there. Eventually, he asks William and he just says he bought them 'cause they reminded him of Ev and Liz. It doesn't 100% work for Mike, but it works enough, so he leaves it alone. After all, people celebrate a passed loved one's birthday, so why wouldn't they get gifts too? Even if they just stay in their old rooms. Then one day, Michael randomly gets a gift from William. I can't think of anything better, so let's just say a cassette tape for his Walkman. It's a tape that Michael would actually listen to, and it's relatively new, so Michael's confused why it's just the tape and no case, but since a gift means a good day, he doesn't question it. At least, not out loud anyway.

I wonder what happened to Aunt Jane. I know she was most likely killed by Golden Freddy, but there's a chance Mike brought her to the hospital and neither him or Abby are visiting 'cause neither of them like her. Imagine your niece and nephew visiting the hospital almost every day, but to see someone who is borderline a stranger to them and not you. I'm absolutely "making" a game counterpart to Aunt Jane, though. She's William's younger sister and she's almost as vile and manipulative. Just not keen on murder. Directly, anyway. Though in the games, she wouldn't have a trigger to want to get rid of someone like she does in the movie, but if she did have one, she'd be willing to kill. Maybe she could talk William into it. She still smells like cigarettes and is the reason the Afton kids hate the smell.

I initially thought Garrett was Abby's imaginary friend, but--save for the fact that it was essentially deconfirmed--it wouldn't make sense for Garrett to haunt his sister and not his brother who he would've known was kind of losing his mind from the trauma of his kidnapping. In any case, I'm currently going with the theory that Garrett is the Puppet and the one behind the "Come find me." message at the end of the credits. We'll see.

Since FNaF 2 is a prequel, I wonder if the FNaF 2 movie will also be a prequel. And if so, will Jeremiah be our protag? I know he was probably just a reference to Jeremy Fitzgerald and nothing more, but if he's not, then game Jeremiah and game Mike are work buddies. And if he is movie Jeremy Fitzgerald, I wonder if he wanted the dream theory book Mike has because he also had weird dreams while working at Freddy's. Maybe. Maybe not.

Tutorial Lady/VHS Lady/Kim and Phone Guy are totally married and their kids are Phone Dude and Tape Girl.

I know Mike being an Afton is basically impossible now, but if another twist is Mike and Vanessa are twins or related in some way, and Mike was given up while Vanessa was kept, I'd be 110% down. Then it'd be found family in the most literal sense. It doesn't 100% work, sure, but it'd be neat. (Imagine recognizing the son you gave up 'cause you recognized his last name 'cause you killed his brother.)

In any case, I really love this movie, and I want Mike, Vanessa, and Abby to be happy. Family dynamic, please, Mr. Cawthon.

3.50 Be a man about it

Another overcast morning darkened my room, causing me to look at my phone to see the time. I tried to sleep in, but I always woke up at the same time every day. I didn't hear many cars speeding past our house, so I figured school was still out and offices were closed and gave myself a day off too. No one would likely be at the spa anyway after gorging themselves with turkey and holiday goodness. Besides, they had rude girl now. I closed my eyes and attempted to return to my dreams, but the sounds of Dad opening and closing doors and shower water striking the tub interrupted me. Soon, he'd turn the TV on, so I gave up and got out of bed.

I had such a nice chill spot in my room and never used it, so I sat on the couch and thought about what to do with my free day. All week, I thought of my sister and aimed to call her, only to be distracted by everything. With nothing to steal my attention, I called her on SimTime before life invariably threw something else at me. It was so good to see her face. I didn't fully realize how much I missed her until I saw her bright blue eyes and heard the sass in her voice. But to my surprise, she didn't look happy, and my big brother alarm system booted up.

She said she didn't like the family she lived with because she felt like they were always talking about her. I let out a tiny sigh of relief because, honestly, she always felt like someone was talking about her, so this was the status quo for dear Less. I imagined not speaking the language increased her paranoia, and for that I sympathized with her. But despite her issues with the family, she said she's still happy to be in Mt. Komorebi, and that was all I needed to hear to initiate the shutdown protocol. Life was not without its trials, so I didn't expect she'd go over there and live in a bed of roses. She went to find happiness, and as long as she remained happy, I was good.

I rarely had idle time, but when I did, my mind often drifted to Sophia, and that morning was no different. No matter what I did or who I was with, she always lived somewhere in the periphery. I missed her so much and owed her a date as well. I sighed and sank into the couch, running my hand through my hair and wondering what was wrong with me. I had this gorgeous woman who waited patiently for me to get my shit together. She was the only one who wanted what I wanted, yet I spent more time cultivating relationships that went nowhere. At the time, it made sense to me. But now, it all seemed kind of pointless, especially after getting clarity about what they all wanted.

When I was in high school, Mama told me something I never forgot. Two things, in fact. She said to be honest about how I felt, and to find someone I could not live without, and I'd been trying to do that ever since. Despite my thoughts and what I've done, the honest truth was this. No matter who I met, no matter what I did, my thoughts were always on Sophia. And when I thought of her, my sentiments were always long term. That clearly sounded like someone I could not live without. It's just like what they said: the heart wants what the heart wants. But I behaved like a scared little boy, hiding from the monsters under his bed. I already felt like I was behind in life, and I didn't need anything else stunting my growth. It was time for me to overcome my fears and create the life I truly desired. I didn't have to jump into a relationship right away, but I needed to accept that I had already found what I wanted, quit messing around with my other friends, and let Sophia know what she meant to me.

After thinking of ways to convey this message without making it sound like a proposal or even asking her to be my girlfriend, I decided to take her to dinner at the fanciest restaurant I could find and spent the next few hours scouring the Internet for locations and reading menus and reviews. Yasmine called during all of this and asked me out again.

Memories of her bouncing boobs danced in my head again, tempting me to accept. Sophia didn't know what I had planned, so I could cancel without penalty and get an encore of the other night. But I didn't want to. I owed Sophia my time, and I wanted her to have it. And as anxious as I was to woohoo again, I was reluctant to risk losing her for a few hours of fun with someone who didn't care about me. Besides, at some point, woohoo will be an option for us, and it will be a thousand times better because I... Because we cared for each other. I sincerely appreciated our night together and would never forget Yasmine because of it. But frankly, I didn't need her anymore. When the time was right, I'll find a way to let her know.

[stevie-petey]

YAYYYY THANK YOU STEVIE PETEY!!!! Also am I delusional or am I sensing a lil jealousy from my lil baby Robin? Maybe Steve did miss his chance and it's rugs/ bobins era now. I need to know what Steve has been saying to Dustin about bug!?!? Like what do you mean he likes her in white?? How do you know this you mysterious little man? Hopper and bug have my whole heart you don't understand. I totally understand how bug could be a little disturbed by the kids relationships cause when she was their age she was looking for lizards in the woods with Jonathan and these kids are making out? She'd be so weirded out. Like imagine your younger brother having his first kiss before you, that's gotta sting a lil. It sucks that bugs probably gonna be stuck in the elevator when the mind flayer comes back cause will needs his big sister😭. And Steve's jealous ugghhh it's what I feed off of. Steve and bug both having the same worries about each other is so soulmate of them Jesus Christ. Bug knowing that Steve is struggling with his father, and how she wishes she could show him how smart and amazing he is is so sad and sweet. He's really so amazing. And I know he's gonna feel all cool and sexy when he wins that fight with the Russian guard. Which is he is, he's 100% right. Dustin being disgusted with stug being cute is so real of him. Steve being a flirty little shit while being too scared to make a real move makes me wanna shake him. He knows she won't reject him, but he wants to make it special for her. Now that Steve has mostly given up douche bag ways I can see him as the kind of guy to remember every anniversary. First kiss? Yup, first date? Definitely. When he realized he was in love with bug? How could he forget it!? I need them to get together, better yet throuple with Robin. There's room for three, plenty of bug to go around. But honestly I can't wait for Robin and stug to become the ultimate friend group. I think Robin would make fun of Steve for having a girlfriend who's still in highschool, even though it's only a year between them.

mayhaps ur sensing something from robin 🤭🤭

and the scene with hopper n bug ugh i cant say a lot but that scene is suuuuper important n foreshadow-y they were so fun to write and theyve come so far since season 1 <3333

steves and bugs insecurities being DIRECT parallels of how jon/nance made them feel :((( my babies just need to kiss already. theyre so dumb like wdym ur scared u missed ur chance when ur KISSING EACH OTHERS NECKS ???? imbeciles i tell ya

speaking of imbeciles: steve blabs a lot and poor dustin just hears everything he isnt supposed to rip. and poor bug id also be so baffled by all the kids making out and dating like yall are CHILDREN go play video games and hide and seek get ur mouths away from each other (bug definitely is also a lil bummed dustin got his first kiss before her, it IS a tad embarrassing lmao)

and steve will 1000% he the bf who remembers the first time he even made EYE CONTACT with bug and shes just gonna be like ????? hello ??????

IM GLAD U ENJOYED THE CHAPTER THANK U FOR THE LOVELY ASK I LOOOOVE HEARING YALLS THOUGHTS <3333

The True Story of the Villareal Family [2.7]

prev // home // next

Heyyy whatcha up to, Luna typed as she headed towards her room.

She was texting the mysterious person in the knight suit she'd met last week at the Von Haunt Estate. Though the two of them exchanged like a million flirty texts every day, the knight was still too shy to reveal their identity.

Not much, they replied almost immediately. Talking to you 😉

She giggled, her heart fluttering, and her phone buzzed again.

What’s going on, princess?

She sighed and replied with a lengthy text about her annoying family. Her dad was bananas, her twin brother was always nagging her, and her little brother was who-knows-where.

I sometimes wonder how things would be different if Mom was still here, she added, and her thumb hit send before she realized what she was writing. Crud. Crud! She didn’t want to turn this into a downer! This was why she avoided talking about her mother!

Oh plum, I remember hearing about your mom last year. I’m so sorry

The three dots flashing on the screen disappeared, then reappeared, then disappeared again.

Luna winced. She knew what was coming – that awkward silence where her friends didn’t know what to say to someone whose mom died in a freak accident. Ugh, why did she have to go and ruin the one happy thing in her life by bringing this up?

She got up to pace her room anxiously when her phone suddenly buzzed.

I can’t imagine what that was like, but I get wondering what if they were still around, wrote the knight. My dad left when I was young and I still think about what it’d be like if he stayed. Like, would I have turned out different?

She scrolled down, reading. It was a long text.

Mom always says that I need someone to “set me straight” or whatever but screw her

But I’m doing great and so are you. I mean, your a straight A student and popular and beautiful so like your mom did something right you know?

And then, for some completely inexplicable reason, Luna burst into tears.

She sobbed for a solid five minutes, not sure why her body was suddenly breaking down, completely forgetting there was someone waiting for her response until her phone buzzed again.

You ok? Sorry, didn’t mean to dump all that Sorry

Luna hastily wiped her tears and texted back. She was fine, she told herself. She had no reason to cry; her tears didn’t make sense. It was teen hormones, probably.

Yeah, I just wanted to say that sucks about your dad, she wrote. And sorry your mom’s a pain

But you’re right, everything is fine now, she added. My family’s fine. We got through it and now we’re just like any other normal, annoying family

If that were true, why did she feel a weird squirming in her stomach as she texted it? Why had she broken down in tears moments prior? Never mind. She pushed those thoughts down and typed out something with more levity.

I’ll make you a deal: I’ll trade you my weird dad for your mom this weekend. But watch out cause he really is bonkers

They responded with a laughing emoji, and Luna wondered if the knight was actually laughing out loud, or at least cracking a smile. That was a nice thought. She hung on to that thought, of her handsome knight smiling kindly at her on the other end.

Oh sorry princess but I gotta go. Goodnight <3, they wrote.

Goodnight <3, she replied. She took a deep breath.

Tomorrow was Friday, and then it was the weekend, and then she would go to the pool with her friends and have a good time. Maybe text her knight some more. Everything was looking up.

She was fine. Her family was fine.

Weren’t they?

"I think it's that way." Nick points as Sam and Colby forgot how to get to Samantha's painting.

"I think it's that way." Chris point in a different direction.

"Where is Samantha?" Colby thinks.

"Definitely that way." Dani agrees with Nick.

"You agree?" Chris asks here.

"It's that way." Matt agrees too holding all the balls for Samantha.

"I would actually bet $100, it's that way." Nick tells Chris as Colby jokes about an alone invitation to which Nick says no to.

"He's not that confident." Dani laughs at him.

"I'm very confident right there to the left." Matt says pointing into the direction.

Sam ends up asking who was the smartest out of the tree and Chris says Matt wasn't then says he's dumbest so the other two agree with him, "I wasn't gonna say it but if you're gonna say it." Nick nods his head.

"Okay, three of us know where to go, so Matt, please." Dani tells him and he leads the way.

"Cause we came out that elevator and went all the way around through here." Matt recalls to the group, mostly Sam and Colby.

"Just trust us Colby." Dani rubs his back as they walk side by side.

"I think Samantha would've liked Rupaul's Drag Race if she got old enough." Nick says stopping by the painting.

"If not she'd miss out on some iconic queens."

"See, one of the reasons we're best friends." Nick says so Dani wraps her arms around him smiling as Colby pulls candy out of Sam's backpack.

"We want Samantha to follow us for the rest of the night." Colby tells them, "She's a nice ghost." He adds, "I'm gonna lur-," Colby and Chris start to laugh realizing how it sounds. "This was a better idea on paper."

"Guys, don't cancel us please." Sam turns the camera to himself, "She's a ghost that's 120 years old. It's not creepy."

"She's technically 124, not four." Matt adds.

"Little kids literally see ghost, I'm convinced." Chris speaks up, "Little kids and dogs."

Dani sees the look on Matt's face making her laugh a bit, "Dude, Matt you okay?" She snaps him back.

"I guess," He puts on a smile.

Colby talks out the rumor that Samantha might also be Ruth so Chris makes joke about Ruth being Samantha's green counterpart before they all take a piece of candy to put at the painting for her to follow them.

Going back down to where Samantha passed, Matt and Dani both see the light flickering. Colby says that's what Samantha is known for and they point out it's only the one by the stairs.

"So what happened when she died is she was chasing after a ball and that made her tumble and break her neck." Sam tells the brothers, "So,"

"Yeah, and you are fuckin makin fun of her." Colby tells them as Chris's jaw hags open hearing what happened to her.

"I feel bad now. Sorry Samantha." Chris apologizes.

''Samantha, if you can hear us there's two flashlights here at the top of the staircase." Sam lets her know.

"You can go up to either one of them it doesn't matter." Dani adds so a flashlight comes on.

"The ghosts like Matt and Dani the most." Chris says as the flashlights go off while they talk and ask questions.

"If it's multiple do you wanna shut the red flashlight off?" Nick asks the ghosts and the red one turns off for them, "Oh my god. That was crazy."

"Wow." Matt stares at the flashlight.

"Samantha, did you come down here with us?" Dani asks so the blue flashlight turns on.

"I can't believe how lucky you guys are tonight." Chris looks at Matt and Dani.

"Samantha are you happy we brought you some balls?" Sam asks her making Colby chuckle which makes Matt and Chris laugh too.

The flashlight turns on, "She likes balls." Colby stats making Matt keep laughing as he looked at him.

"If we were to toss these down the stairs. Will you show yourself?" Sam asks making Dani look at him.

"Sam, you wanna add another to your list?"

"I-, Dani, I can't relive my bad past with little girl spirits." He shakes his head at the thought.

"He had a little girl stuck in his ass one time." Colby sums it up for the three making them laugh at Sam.

They break out the SLS camera to see if they could capture Samantha on camera but she never shows up for them.

Matt asks her a few questions and both flashlights turn on at the same time since she didn't know which one she wanted to pick.

They leave the stairs and head to Carlota's room next, "Does it have a different scent in here?" Colby asks as they enter the mezzanine, "Smells like grandma."

"It does give off that scent." Dani agrees.

"We have to rizz Carlota." Colby tells the boys while Dani just stands around looking at all the mirrors in the dark, "She's in here with all her vortex mirrors. That are nine million dollars."

"You should steal at least one." Chris tells him.

"Hey there Carlota, there's five single men here. Expect one is off limits." Matt tells her

"Yes." Nick nods his head, "Yeah." Everyone laughs at him, "I got nothin for ya." He adds.

"But he makes a great friend. Especially to rant to." Dani rests her head on his shoulder.

"And we have Dani here as well if you need a girl friend as well." Nick puts an arm around her giving her a side hug.

"Saw a picture of you, you're pretty hot." Colby tells her.

"Oh, straight to it." Chris laughs.

"I feel like that won't work on her. She's way too classy for that. She's an Empress." Dani tells her brother.

The boys try to think of back then rizz so they just say she's really pretty because they couldn't think of anything.

"I hate that I can see my own reflection like forty times." Chris stands in front of his mirror and the others agree with him that it's scary.

"Empress Car-lota,"

Dani laughs at Colby, "You fucked her named up dude." Nick then says it correctly for Colby.

"I'm sorry," Colby apologizes, "Empress Carlota," He says right this time making Nick and Dani quietly laugh so hard they hold on to each other, "My beautiful maiden. Please come into this room and talk to us. We would love to get to know you.

"Alright, I'm up guys." Chris says, "Empress Carlota, we'd love to have some conversation with you tonight. We got some fine handsome, handsome, gentleman. We're ready to rizz you up."

Dani places her hand over her mouth to stop her from laughing at him, "That was terrible." She giggles to herself while Nick tells him to be serious.

"Hey Empress Carlota. If you wanna talk to us tonight we're ready to communicate." Nick says on his turn.

"Hey Empress Carlota, if you wanna come out here and talk to us. Feel free to do it. And if you're not even Empress Carlota, and you're in this room, come on in."  Matt speaks up.

After Sam goes they get the EMF rope out that basically does the same thing as a regular EMF but covers a longer area.

"Why are these on Sam, over here?" Colby asks as some of the lights were already lit up.

"Ugh, that shouldn't be." He goes to move the string but it stays lit up.

"So they're all supposed to be pink right now?" Nick asks them.

"They're supposed to be this color, yeah." Colby tells him.

Sam goes on about how there might just be some electrical wiring under the floor right there so the pick up the rope to move it to the side.

[some-pers0n]

Hey again I made more short WoF writing. It's about Hailstorm. It's not too long. It's more or less a rewrite of that scene where Winter puts on the Pyrite mask. Goodie. Here you go.

...where am I?

Pyrite looked around, taking in her new surroundings. She was in a garden. Flowers of all colours sprouted from the ground, forming pretty little patterns. The sun shone down on her, giving warmth to her unusually cold body.

Why was she here all of a sudden? Wasn't she just on a mountain range? At night?

She shook her head. How could she be so forgetful as to forget where she was? Moon above, was her memory that awful?

"What happened?" she muttered. She glanced towards the SandWing- Qibli? Was that his name? She couldn't quite remember- and asked another question: "did we find Queen Scarlet?"

Even saying her name sent a lovely feeling through her scales. Burning loyalty and pride. Queen Scarlet! Her true queen. The only queen. Not this false one that currently sat on her throne. Queen Scarlet was bright, beautiful, and utterly wonderful. How she missed her. She knew what to do in these situations.

How proud she was to be a SkyWing. How utterly glorious to be free and live in the mountains. To soar through the sky without care. To be any other tribe would be dreadful. The SkyWings were loyal. They followed the rule of the most adept queen to ever exist. They were the most crafty and intelligent out of all of the tribes.

Life was good in the Sky Kingdom. She would never want to leave. Ever.

"Pyrite?" Qibli said slowly, "how do you feel? Okay?"

"Mh? Yeah, I'm fine. It's a bit foggy up here though." She giggled awkwardly as she tapped her head. "How did we get there? Sorry! I know that is weird to say out of nowhere but...I genuinely don't know how we got here. I assume we flew here and were doing something productive before I just...I don't know, panicked? Hit my head? Did I hit my head? I sure must have done something to cause this. Talons and tails, I'm such a klutz."

"Do you remember anything about Winter?" he asked.

She snorted. "Oh, definitely. I don't think I could think of a bigger grump than him." She stuck out her tongue in disgust. Past Qibli was a large IceWing, one maybe a year or so older than Winter. To her surprise, Winter was completely absent. Perhaps he left. Went back to his own kingdom where he can sulk around with the rest of his tribe. Though, now there was this new dragon in his place.

He looked...odd. He couldn't have been that old, but there was a look in his black eyes that said more than words could describe. They were hazy and carried a feeling of age that she'd only seen in elders. He stared at her with a strange expression. She couldn't tell what emotion he was trying to express, only that he was greatly unsettled.

"Who's he?" Pyrite asked, pointing at the mystery dragon. The IceWing winced, taking in sharp breaths.

"You don't know who Winter or Hailstorm is?"

"Hailstorm? Never heard of him." She shrugged.

"I see then." He gestured to her necklace. "Mind if I see that for a moment?"

She felt the pouch around her neck, grabbing it. "I guess? I don't know why you'd want it though." She began to pull it up and over her head. It went up and over her -

- and in a blink of an eye, she was gone.

Winter seized up, throwing the necklace as soon as he could. His own thoughts had returned to him, but he could still feel her lingering around. Her dull, daft and repetitive thoughts. Remnants of her ideals and image of the Sky Kingdom clawed at his mind. It was beyond horrifying.

That's when he looked up to see his brother. Hailstorm looked at the necklace, his breath heavy and strained. A realization collapsed in on Winter. He now understood what he had to go through. For two years, trapped as this idiotic and hollow excuse of a dragon. Put into stasis until they finally freed him.

I'm so sorry... Was all Winter could stomach to think.

[kurosstuff]

What's your thoughts on Azula as a girlfriend?

Well-, before I say anything- everyone views it differently so just so you don't have to agree with me-!

Im assuming this is like- a headcanon ask? Also this seems more of a deep dive then a headcanon cause I got carried away I'm sorry?

warning(s): the big "L word" a couple of times, mentions of replacement(idk if this is a warning? But incase!), scar mentioning-!, abuse, meantion of reader having hair! Just for one part but not really detailed, uhh let me know if there's anything else?

Azula x reader: girlfriend headcanons

So- I think at first she'd seem like a perfect girlfriend, cause like- she's a picture perfect daughter, a perfect prodigy, but obviously she isn't, she has no idea what she's doing-

Azula is of course possessive, and in her mind rightfully jealous(and it's understandable-) her mother picked her brother over her, her uncle chose her brother, her friends later on did as well, betraying her, her father only sees her as a form of a tool so for someone to see her in a romantic way is- a bit off putting to say but she loves it, but doesn't want to admit it in fear of it going away/being hurt

She's afraid one day you'll wake up and realize she's NOT worth it. Shes worried shed wake up and yet again shes replaced from her brother or another. That there's someone else out there who's worth all your time and love, the days she things about it most are the ones she's most clingy

Azula confess? Hah yeah in your dreams. She could confess, she really could it's not like she's afraid to she is. She would wait for you to confess first- since as much as she's confident you feel the same-theres a feeling of potential rejection- she'd rather hangout with Zuko then admit her feelings and get heartbroken. But that doesn't stop her from imaging how she'd confess in the perfect way, taking you to the first place you both met, a luxurious lunch from the restaurant you love- and just be honest with her feelings with you. But when it did come to happen, it wasn't even close to how she wanted it to go- and funny enough the first time she said she loved you aloud. After all you were in war.

Fights happen people get hurt. People can die. Azula as strong as she is, is cocky. To full of her own self she'd ignore signs- she can take it. She's strong, she's never lost. Not once has she. So why bother sometimes? She didn't expect the sneak attack for that reason, the fight was easy, a bit too easy for your liking.

And you were right.

A surprise attack from a earth bender struck attempting to hit Azula from behind, thinking quickly you rushed pushing Azula to the side, causing her to stumble in shock, the Boulder the earth bender hit your back causing you to fall harshly from the way you rushed Azula. The air knocked out from you as a result

With a yell of your name Azula sprinted back to you holding you, the first time you've seen Azula so frantic, horrified. Cradling your head in her lap she looked for any wounds

"Don't do that to me. I love you to much to lose you too"

Yeah Azula is cruel, sadistic, and overall power hungry, but at the end of the day this is the same girl who wanted her mother to love her but never wanted to admit it so- she'd want to show how she feels for you, in her way, Azula would never admit it but the slight soft moments with you means alot to her, when she can really just let loose and be herself, in her room cuddled up or just doing whatever,

A pleasant hum equaled Azula quietly, her fingers gently playing with your hair, scratching your scalp gently every now and again, her other arm wrapped around you, snores escaping you, pulling you closer to her chest, she smiled. In these quiet moments she doesn't have to worry about a thing, worry about being judged for caring or loving someone, for being a human.

Looking down, Azula smiled gently, an uncharacteristic look, "thank you. I love you"

Dates? Hell yeah she'd surprisingly plan most of them, wanting to prove to you(herself) that she can be loving, a romantic person, she'd take you to places she knows/read people taking lovers too, fancy dinners, all that, but she allows you to plan some as well, her personal favorite was the first one she finally allowed you to plan, a walk around, leading to a home-cooked picnic(you of course cooked-) the look on her face, was something even you can't forget, she was happy,

Fights happen, cause that's a normal thing in all types of relationships, no one can avoid them. Some are small, easy to fix within a couple minutes or so. But some last longer- those are the worst. Most of the time their because or her, her stubbornness making it impossible for her to go and apologize, she knows when she gets upset she can get even more aggressive cause she doesn't Want to admit to being wrong-one more horrible trait she got from her father.

One phrase, that's all it took. The fiery look in her eyes immediately vanish, the once cold hard look of anger was quickly replaces with shock- then horror. The second she said that- the broken look. The tears in your eyes- Azula for the first time since meeting you, she froze in horror of what she did-said

"Azula. Find me when you're done being an asshole"

With that- you left, she tried willing herself to move, follow after you, but her legs wouldn't budge, it was as If they were concrete, her whole body frozen in place, the words stuck in her throat from what she could've said to stop you from leaving

"No-! Stop I'm sorry!"

"Come back"

"I didn't mean to- I'm so sorry"

But nothing came out, they were stuck on repeat in her head refusing to leave. She was to stubborn to even admit to herself of her wrong doing.

Cuddling with Azula is like cuddling a furnace if it could breath, not in an uncomfortable way but because of how warm she is, it's possible it's cause of her firebending- but with all the blankets in the world you could be wrapped up in, none can be as welcoming and as warm then in Azula's embrace, as cliché as it sounds. It's almost like she purposefully uses her fire bending to warm up for you to cuddle her, works best in cold temperature, but it's her nightmare and yours as well during hot or warm, because of how warm her body is it feels less of a furnace and more of a sauna. But it's worth it in the end

Kisses with Azula- is best described as, kissing hot chocolate, odd comparison yes I know but the hot liquid evading your senses bringing you a pleasant relaxing relief, a sensation almost everyone has when drinking the hot beverage, sometimes it burns if you spill, sometimes it's cooling in the sense it heats you up from the cold,

Anyways away from the weird description cause idk how to explain it, everytime before you kiss(unless it's infront of someone she's jealous of- or a party) she waits for some sort of permission before kissing you- odd for Azula since what Azula wants she gets, but she doesn't ever feel forced into kissing her- she'd feel awful.

Holding hands are rare in public for obvious reasons, she wants to always be professional, infront everyone around her including her brother and friends- she will refuse each time, unless you feel nervous or uncomfortable, or she does but she totally never is. But the times you do hold hands, like cuddling her, her hands are warm but surprisingly slightly cold. Her smooth soft hands in yours, she uses her thumb to rub the back of yours silently to comfort you/her or remind you silently she's listening to you- even if you think she isn't, she's paying attention. If you look closely at her hands though when your alone, you'll notice makeup on them- later on when she trusts you fully, she'll show you. (From what i read/was told tell me if im wrong-!) The price to pay from how she learned to lightning bend and how quickly she pushed herself scared her finger tips a bit, not noticeable far or even close, but from how close her brother and friends-then later you- are to her- if you look you'll see. So she hides them

Azula hides them from shame and she doesn't like the reminder of being slightly similar to Zuko. In both having some sort of family scarring in a way. Him their father directly. Her training under the order of her father indirectly.

But with how you caress them when she allows it, makes her melt. During these times she's aware you don't care what she looks like, if she's scarred or not. You love her just like she loves you

Overall Azula isn't good with words, being honest with herself on how she feels. But she'd be a good girlfriend and she'd in her own ways remind you how much you mean to her and how much she adores you. Azula will do her best to be the perfect girlfriend she can be for you

jeremiah’s retriever-y sunshine personality is obvious. we know that, it’s clear and cute. but it’s partially an act to get his real needs for attention met and to shield himself from rejection. he’s often felt overlooked thanks to adam. adam was never a great or super present father to begin with, to either boys. but he focused on conrad more at times, and it was like living in conrad's shadow. so jere goes after anything that conrad likes in the attempt to do it better. this doesn’t mean jeremiah doesn’t love his brother, cause he does. like conrad himself has gone out of his way to praise jere. but jere can be jealous. he also seeks attention, he's the guy who smiles whether he's happy or not. when he's happy, his brain's already made the connection that he draws more people in this way. he does this as a way of compensating for the lack of attention that he wanted in the areas he didn't have it in.

because why would've he felt the need to try and be better or to be like his brother and have what he has.... if he felt like he already had those things, too? yeah, he admires him, he looks up to him in so many ways. but there is this jealousy that stands out and that doesn't stem from admiration. it's also not like he would've wanted to have all of the attention from his dad, definitely not, he just wanted it to be fair. he never wanted to take it away from con. so, it's not that he was forcing himself to be something he’s not, he is easygoing and bright, jeremiah is really good with people, he’s magnetic. but, he’d try to be this way at times even when he didn’t feel good or happy. it’s not him being deliberately insincere or fake though.

just because he’s good with people, doesn’t mean he always knows people. he thinks he knows them. he wants to be the person anyone may need him to be at any moment, but i think he often fails at it without even realizing it. in a way where he wants situations to work out, where he wants everyone to be pleased, not in a toxic way, and definitely not in a dangerous way. jeremiah’s aim isn’t solely to make himself happy, but it’s also to make others happy around him. in others eyes, they see someone who does a good job at making others happy. in some way…. i even feel like part of belly almost thought that she should “love” him for this... because he was safe. because he was jeremiah. because she'd know he'd always be there.

but like picture jeremiah getting older, maturing, recognizing and working through these real issues ( which he does here because i’m deeply developing his post-canon stuff ), belly and him would have never worked out. because although he loves her, she's his best friend, not a single cell in my body believes either of them should’ve let it get as far as they did. like jeremiah needs to be with someone who doesn't have such entrenched ties to his brother in a romantic way because that jealousy and need to do more will always be there. as best friends, and loving her as a best friend, it won't be there. he can properly work out his shit in the future this way. at the age that they all were while in the midst of teenage drama, and then when they found out about susannah being sick again, they were all way too young to really sift through and take apart any of their tendencies and personalities.

whatever you want. angst or fluff or whatever. i crave those boys

Hmmmm (obviously I choose angst)

T/w: cursing, injury

•

Miss Medda rounded the corner, little bruised Jack Kelly holding tightly to her skirt, hiding behind her.

Oscar expected a reprimanding. He expected worse than that. He put himself between Morris and Medda. He wasn't letting anything happen to his little brother. His glare fell on Jack. Why the hell did he always have to go to adults to resolve issues that could be fixed without them?

There were ways to fix problems. Jack was just too stupid to realize it. Stupid little kid.

What he hadn't expected, in all his preparing, was Medda kneeling in front of him, talking with that gentle tone she used.

It grated his nerves. She thinks just because she talks softly that he won't realize what she was saying? That she would... try and make sure Jack would leave them be?

The fuck?

His glare hardened at the words, refusing to believe that Medda was doing anything more than just alleviating Jack's fear. There was no way she was doing that for them.

~

Only a few months later, she cracks their door open again, and the same happens. Oscar shields Morris with his body, glaring daggers at the little kid following her into the room as his little brother cradled his blanket and rocked behind him.

He's such a rat. This is why they can't trust anyone. This is why it's Oscar and Morris against the world.

She does the same thing she'd done the first time. She knelt in front of them, talking in that same soft tone. Saying those same things. She'd keep Jack out. She'd keep them separated. But, he could see the worry in her eyes. He could see the anxiety there.

He knew what was coming, and could only hope that Morris would be okay when it happened.

~

The very next day, Medda pulled Oscar aside. Mo was drawing in a little sketch pad she'd gotten him, and she asked to talk to Oscar alone. He scowled as she did, but he knew better than to disobey a direct order from an adult.

He followed her into the hall, keeping his voice nothing more than a hushed whisper when he asked "What?"

"Oscar, dear, I talked to Mr. Denton..."

Here it comes. They're being abandoned again. They're being let down by this woman who promised she'd keep them safe. No big surprise there. That's okay, he and Morris had gotten through it before. There was nothing stopping them from doing it again.

"He says I can't keep all three of you in the same household," she continued at Oscar's silence, noting his clenched jaw and hard stare. She'd known this was coming, she'd known it would only hurt them again. She wanted to minimize it. "I was considering keeping Morris... He doesn't..."

Oscar didn't hear anything more. He lunged forward, the anger that had been building in his chest exploding out as he went for Medda. She let out a scream, causing Morris and Jack both to come running.

Morris watched in horror as Oscar turned his attention from Medda to Jack. "This is all your fault!"

"Os?" Morris's voice was small-smaller than Oscar had ever heard it- and that made him falter.

The elder brother, still seething with rage, stepped back. He moved to stand between Morris and the others, still facing Medda. "If you ever do that to him, I'll do worse 'n hit your precious little Jackie."

He was shaking with the anger and adrenaline coursing through him. "C'mon, Mo. We aren't staying."

The way Morris's face fell. The crushed expression. The heartbreak Oscar could hear in the whimpers escaping him.

That was all Jack Kelly's fault.

Oscar would never forgive him.

He would never forgive Medda.
