=======================================

The next time you'd see Shohei Ohtani was in a wedding ceremony. He would be wearing an expensive grey suit and a tie in oxford blue that you've picked up for him months before. His thick dark hair would've been waxed and slicked back showing more of his forehead. If it had been last spring, that hairstyle would not have lasted as your fingers would tug the back of his head while he stole you kisses at the security of someone's bathroom sink, locked away in the gentle murmur that both escaped your lips. You'd be late and attracting a lot of stares from the guests and terse expressions from the bride and groom, definitely knowing your shenanigans. Instead, you came here alone, at the demand of your best friend and bride, Jessica, agreeing to meet up with the rest of the entourage. Your absolute consolation would be rubbing elbows with some of Jessica's celebrity friends, being a celebrity herself, and eating expensive food. For free. You'd be seeing Shohei too, yes, since he used to be in Jessica's social circle through you, only this time, you'd be alone.

You clutched your drawstring purse tightly and made a beeline towards the mobile bar that served drinks. If you'd have to go through this entire ordeal while nursing your broken heart--in a wedding reception, no less--you might as well get plastered.  

In the last summer that you've spent with Shohei Ohtani, you realized it wasn't all rainbows and sunshine. Although the relationship did start as a one-night stand and friendly banter, you caught yourself falling deep for him. You believed he did too as he spent more and more time in your apartment and called you often despite being out of town for the season.

You knew the consequences being involved with him like that but as if under a spell, you ignored the red flags that came with being his lover. One of them being constantly reminded of public pressure and opinion. Not even being a hotshot professor with a PHD in Creative Writing and Literature in a prominent university could save you from criticism. Being the golden boy of Japanese baseball had its repercussions. The media's constant prodding into your relationship took a toll on you since the beginning. You don't like attracting attention to yourself. You were quite the private person, so was Shohei. He only answered questions about his work in the big leagues, in respect to your wishes. So why did it feel like a betrayal when he actually dodged the media when they playfully inject questions about your not-so-secret secret? Why did it feel like a denial when he could've acknowledged the relationship like a normal person at least once? But Shohei was not a normal person, and you knew that. He was special beyond imagination and you wouldn't want to do anything that would ruin his reputation, much like his chances to appease both Western and Japanese media. 

Secondly, when his dedicated fanbase learned about you being in Shohei's life, they went rabid. They found your social media accounts despite having a vague name handle on Instagram; you didn't even have your personal photo on your profile. But they were scarily smart, his fans. They figured out your cryptic photos and captions that aligned to the locations Shohei was recorded to be at (and those were your actual short quiet dates around town during his free days). You had to ironically laugh out loud once, when it all suddenly happened, an unspeakable number of notifications flooding your phone, messages you couldn't ever dream o tf ever receiving.

"Are you sure you're Shohei's girlfriend??? you don't look like Shohei's type at all."

"Girl, you're constantly with Shohei recently? Are you a stalker pretending to be his girl for attention?"

"This girl in her delulu era lmao"

It took you all the restraint in your body to reply to these anonymous accounts, convincing yourself it was not worth it. You knew with every fiber of your being that showing off Shohei Ohtani as your boyfriend was worth every malicious comment sent to you, but you didn't. You never did. You never mentioned this to him despite the anxiety eating you alive. For you, at that time, as long as you have him tangled in bedsheets, in the quietest moments, the clamor of the world outside did not matter. 

Of course, you were wrong again. Much like every out of the ordinary couple, it was destined to fail. It did not take long until he got frustrated with your frustrations. It also affected your work. More and more students gossiped and faculty bullied you into oblivion. But why couldn't you tell him anything? Why wouldn't you show him how heavy carrying the relationship has started to feel? The thing is, you didn't feel like you should demand anything more, that being with him was already a blessing and demanding more means being greedy.

One night when both of you were coming off from a sugar high after eating too much cookie dough from Target, your head lay on his arms and his face pressed against yours. You laid there in bed with him in the silence, except for the rapid beating of your heart against his chest. You prayed for moments like this, and now it's happening. You love this. You love hi--

"I think I love you." you blurted out.

"Hmm?" he doesn't lift his head and continued to lay there, voice sounding sleepy as ever.

"I think... I think I'm in love with you, Sho." you whispered. "I like you more than the first date. It's just something I felt a while back..." you rambled on waiting for a response and when you tried to unentangle yourself from his hold, he suddenly tightened his embrace, beckoning you to stay still under the covers. He started lightly snoring after a few minutes.

He heard it, right? You thought he had fallen asleep but he heard you.

So why didn't he say it back?

"You gave up on him, remember?" You said to yourself as you sipped your first glass of raspberry limoncello prosecco. "So stop acting like he owes you anything. Not even an explanation or closure, Y/N."

You caught your faint reflection on the sliding glass door right beside the mobile bar. You were wearing a blue satin dress you bought for this wedding. The neckline going lower than when you first tried it on, revealing a bit of your cleavage. The dress also has a bonus feature: the maxi dress has a slit that stops just below your right thigh. You originally bought this at the same with Shohei's tie. You thought you'd surprise him with how sexy the dress was, and with you wearing it, you could only imagine his reaction. You sighed, as you took one last look on your dress, you noticed a familiar face nearing from behind you.

"Are you sure you're not trying to get him back with that dress?" Lars Nootbar loomed from behind, grinning, eyeing the skirt.

"It would need me more than a seductive dress to get him back, Lars." You scoffed. "Besides, I'm not that drunk yet." You proudly raised your half full glass of prosecco. Lars, your best friend and wingman, who was unfortunate enough to get caught in the Cold War (Pre-Break-Up Phase), down to the Great Depression (Post-Break Up Phase) and had to be there for the both of you, separately. Poor old Lars couldn't pick a side between his two besties, that he had to go back and forth between spending his time comforting you while you went on a How I Met Your Mother rabbithole while eating only salty snacks and leftover cake; and Shohei dragging him to go on a 5-mile jog almost every morning and deadlifting more than 400lbs lbs to "bulk up for the next season". Shohei knew that Lars could smell through his bullshit. Lars gave no comment every time he suggested something crazy during their workouts, or tried to talk him out of it. He was also tightlipped on how both of you were dealing with the break up, and for that, you and Shohei were grateful. 

"Well, I'll keep my radar on in case you start hysterical crying during the reception."

"Good call. Maybe tie a leash around my ankles while you're at it." you rolled your eyes and he sniggered, revealing his dimples. 

"Lars, I swear to God, I just want to go through this wedding without breaking down. The good thing is our breakup is already out in the open, so he's walking the aisle last with his new, equally-tall, bridesmaid partner, who also happens to be a model for Vogue Japan." you said a matter-of-factly.

"Did you do your research on the bridesmaids, Miss FBI?" said Lars. It was only a matter of coping that you stalked all the women he has spent time with in social events. This wedding is no different, you thought. You just wanted to know if he had moved on with another fling. If he already replaced you that quick, then it would make you feel more vindicated when you presumed he didn't love you and fight for you at all. 

"The internet is an amazing thing. I know now how his fans got so obsessed with hunting me down."

"Did you run out of TV series to binge on that you're now stalking your ex?" said Lars. He was smiling but his eyes showed a slight worry in his expression.

"Someone's got to fill in the role of the crazy ex, you know." you joked. "Don't worry, big guy, I'm not going to have a relapse after just one wedding."

He eyed you dolefully. "I'll keep an eye on you, lady."

"There he is! Our MVP!" someone shouts. Suddenly a number of guests flocked towards the end of the hall, clapping and greeting Shohei Ohtani, who just entered the reception with Ippei Mizuhara, his trusty friend and interpreter. He smiled politely and greeted everyone as he tried to find his way towards the crowd, eyes scanning the place.

"Ooh... He came without a date. Interesting turn of events--" commented Lars, about to say a joke but was interrupted when you swiveled on your feet so fast, you could've been a Yo-yo. Lars let out a loud laugh, inviting a few looks from nearby guests. Your back facing them, sipping your prosecco nervously, and pretending your Midnight Blue marble nail art is more interesting than Baseball star, Shohei Ohtani (who inconsequentially just happens to be your ex-lover. NBD.)

"Shut up and stop looking at him!" you hissed. 

Lars chuckled and before he could say anything more, the wedding coordinator's voice boomed into the speakers. "Entourage, come forward please."

"Oh, fantastic. Here we go." You downed your remaining drink and took Lars by the arm. 

By the time you got to the entourage queue, someone called your name.

"Y/N as bridesmaid, come here please." Linda, the wedding coordinator in a stunning dress suit and pants called out. You went to her, trying to avoid eye contact with everyone else. Everyone was probably gossiping how you and Shohei didn't arrive together, or why you have your arms linked with Lars instead of his. You tried brushing it off but the guests' side glances really bothered you.

"Groomsmen, Shohei Ohtani. Stand beside Y/N, please." 

It must've been the wine because you thought you were hearing things. You chuckled to yourself. You thought Linda called--

"Shohei Ohtani, stand here, please!" Linda was waving at Shohei, who was at the back of the line to come forward and pointing at the space beside you. It took you a couple of seconds to realize what it all meant. Your eyes turned around to look for Lars. He was 2 rows behind you and reciprocated your panicked gaze. 

"Um, Linda, there must've been a mis--" You started but were immediately cut off when Shohei came to your side. 

"We're good, Linda. Thank you." He smiled politely and shook his head at me. You could only look back in disbelief.

"Didn't you say you'd have the list updated with Jessica?" You blurted out.

"I did."

"So?" Your voice raising. Shohei gave you a furtive look. He stood closer and offered his arm. All those mental preparations you had planned went down the drain as soon as you stood close to him.

"I couldn't." He started.

"I know I should have. When we split up, I always thought we would get back together so I put off telling Jessica about the breakup... and changing the list... would be... Pointless."

"You act as if you did something to prevent the breakup." you said bitterly. "Let's just get this over with and move on to our separate ways, okay?"

He looked pained when he searched your eyes, hoping you could return his gaze. You didn't and only looked straight ahead. You knew he was looking at you. You knew he was trying to say something more but couldn't. You knew that if you looked at him and saw his sad brown eyes, you'd go soft and all those months of trying to get him out of your system would all be for nothing. You're able to stand up now because you chose not to wait for him anymore. Don't go searching for a reason to look back now. 

You swallowed hard. Making a big deal out of this would only draw flak from other guests and with especially with Jessica. It's her day after all. No time for any of your meltdowns. The last thing you wanted to do is make a scene in the presence of Shohei. Especially in front of Shohei, so you put on your big girl shoes on and took his arm to walk down the aisle. You silently die inside as you gripped his biceps hard against your hand. 

Oh god, this is going to be a long day, you groaned inwardly.

The wedding ceremony went surprisingly quick. The bridesmaids were seated separately from the groomsmen on the opposite side of the hall. Once you and Shohei reached the end of the aisle, you immediately let go of his arm and walked towards the bridesmaids' table without glancing at him; Shohei did the same and walked as fast and normal as he could, trying to steady himself being near you after months of separation.

When the host announced the newly weds' entrance, you were already on your second flute of champagne. Of course, you didn't pass up the opportunity to taste the petite crab cakes and tuna tartare from the appetizers. You busied stuffing your mouth with as much food as you could so there wasn't any room for conversation. In between bathroom breaks and buttermilk biscuit refills, you'd spot someone you knew from you and Jessica's school, or from Shohei's circle, stopping by to say a quick hi. Of course, you'd exchange curt greetings and you braced yourself when it spins to the impending question.

"So sad to hear about you and Shohei, dear." one of the guests, Mrs. Nakamoto, approached you with her wine glass. She dazzled every time the lights caught the rhinestone jewelry adorned all over her neck.

"I'm okay, Mrs. Nakamoto, thank you for your concern." you faked a smile and responded with the lines you have rehearsed a hundred times in front of the mirror.

"Couples fight, that's normal. Fighting means you want to fix things." she said, looking at you. "Don't be too mad at him anymore. He loves you, you know."

You look at her, bewildered. "I don't quite under--"

"He spoke to the media and asked to give you privacy." she winked. "Oh to be young and in love. Makes you fearless, don't you think? The fans were not happy though. Have you seen it yet?" she asked pointedly when she saw your blank expression.

You had no idea what she was babbling about. It could be the wine, or probably some tabloid news she heard from the grapevine. You intend to correct this but as if Mrs. Nakamoto could read your mind, she interrupted your thoughts before you could open your mouth.

"He won't go far to scold his fans if he doesn't want to protect you and your relationship, you know." she winked and with that she floated away with her twinkling diamonds, leaving you utterly shocked. Scolded his fans? Since when did Shohei talk about his personal life in front of the press? Mrs. Nakamoto must've been mistaken. The world would be ending and he would only talk about baseball more than anything.

You tried following Mrs. Nakamoto but she had already disappeared into the crowd. Lars came into view, dimples on display and cheeks flushed from all the dancing, probably.

"Hey, sweet pea. Having fun on your own?" he asked.

"Just about to." you took a swig of your last champagne and dragged Lars into the dancefloor. He quickly noted the change of music and started dancing.

"I love this song!" you exclaimed as I Don't Wanna Dance With Somebody started playing in the background. You were swaying your hips and singing the song word by word, not a care in the world. For the first time tonight, were actually enjoying yourself.

It took 3 songs until Lars called timeout. His face flushed and sweaty from keeping up with you, almost heaving.

"Man, do you already have weak knees at that age?" you giggled and tried to hold on to him thinking he might suddenly collapse from exhaustion.

"I think I actually do, dude. I'll remember not to underestimate you on Just Dance." he was looking at something from behind you, as if looking for someone.

"If you want to sit down, we can sit down back there--"

The music switched up and suddenly a slow song started. Grow Old With Me by Tom Odell.

Lars took your hand and led you into the middle of the dancefloor. Unknowingly, you followed along. He might've already recovered and want to dance more. He is your partner in crime tonight, after all. Whatever confusing feelings you felt after talking to Mrs. Nakamoto earlier has been swept away from your mind. At least momentarily.

And then it happened too fast, you didn't have the time to process what was happening. One moment you were holding Lars' hand, now you're facing Shohei, his right hand slithered to your back, and the other on yours, leading the dance. He thanks Lars and Lars taps his back, retreating back into the dancefloor as if he nothing happened. Of course, he is also Shohei's best friend and wingman. Of course, he'd do this. He is definitely going to hear a lot from you once you get back at him.

Shohei pulls you harder to him, shaking your attention from Lars to him. Only him. He's looking at you and you're looking at him like it was a dream. Or a nightmare. You couldn't decide because his perfume invaded your system and is causing your mind to stop working.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"That dress is so revealing, Y/N." he finally said after a few moments.

"Wow. That's none of your business." You snapped, annoyed now. What a way to break the spell. "I didn't wear this for you."

"Hoping you could bring a date home tonight?" he said, voice low.

Oh, he did not. The worst thing he could do is provoke you on a night like this. Not when you're on the brink of alcohol intoxication. Your mouth runs everywhere when you're drunk.

"Why does that concern you? I can because I'm single anyway. You should try it too."

"Who said I was single?" Shohei looked pissed off now. As much as you want to escape, as someone with Scorpio rising, you just want to play with fire.

"Oh, you did you replace me with? Was it the Vogue Japan model? Or the badminton player during the gala?" you pushed.

The look on his face gave you chills on your bones. Oh, he was angry angry.

"I'm starting to think you believe what the tabloids wrote more than what I ever told you in the past."

"What did you ever tell me, Sho? I'm curious. I don't think I ever heard you say anything reassuring." You don't want to go through this anymore, no matter how pissed off you feel. You just want to go home and take a long warm bath while listening to your sad breakup playlist.

You let go of Shohei's hand and stopped dancing. You turned your heel and walked towards the exit, in the middle of the wedding band's rendition of Can't Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley. 

At the corner of your eye, you saw Lars dancing and flirting with one of the bridesmaids. He noticed you but you waved him off, stopping him. If he was enjoying the night, you shouldn't drag him along with him. He has already done so much for you. You can handle this on your own tonight.

You shivered as soon as you stepped outside the hall. You let a light wind breeze through you as you walked around the garden path, lost in your own thoughts. You mentally smack yourself for forgetting to bring a coat again. It was a cold evening and you no longer have Shohei to keep you warm. And you were always so cold. You'll have to get used to bringing your own coats again. You, who has always been okay being alone pre-Shohei days, would have to wake up without his good morning texts again. Dining alone. Sleeping alone. Watching movies alone. 

Walking aimlessly in the garden, you remembered your conversation with Mrs. Nakamoto and fished your phone from your purse. You knew it was not a good idea to be watching his interview videos anymore but curiosity killed you. You googled his latest interview video and pressed play.

The interview started with the usual introductions and questions about baseball and his performance from the last game. He answered them attentively and politely. Then, a reporter suddenly asked him about you.

"Since you are attending Jessica Thuy's wedding next week, do you have plans on addressing if you and Y/N are gonna be endgame? Or has the fans scared her off already?" the reporters' laughter was heard on the recording. Ippei, who had been within shot the whole time, looked like he wanted Shohei to ignore the question but Shohei grunted and gave the cameras a sarcastic smile.

"I thank the fans for their constant support of my games and schedules. I'm grateful, really. But they don't have a say on who I fall in love with." The crowd went quiet, waiting for him to say more. He gave in and indeed more, much to their delight. "The woman I'm in love with is a very private person. It took me a long time to get to know her because she's always had her nose buried in a book. She gets super chatty when she talks about the things she is passionate about. She would not, for the life of me, stop talking about astrology. She once cried when she learned that Manatees are endangered species. She has a laugh that the fans commented negatively about. I find her laugh the most adorable thing I've ever heard and I don't want to live in a life where I don't hear it ever. I hope the fans respect that. Thank you." It was as if the wind was sucked by a vacuum and got sealed elsewhere. Even Ippei was speechless. He couldn't believe Shohei said that in front of the media. He was fighting for you. He finally set his boundaries.

He signaled the end of the interview and went out of frame just in time for the video to end.

You turned around to go back to the reception but saw Shohei standing behind you, his face glistened with a wistful expression. You stood there with tears in your eyes. That interview sounded like a confession of love and now you want to hear more.

"When you left I really thought you brought all the sunshine with you. Literally... It was always raining in our games." He said. "In my heart, too. It's true. I don't ever want to live in a life where I don't have you, Y/N."

"I figured the best way to get you back was this wedding, since you know, you've blocked me everywhere. You even told the receptionist in your apartment to never let me in." he pouted.

"And about that night... I was embarrassed because you said it first. I thought that when I'd finally say it, it would be after I plan the craziest, most beautiful date ever. You know, private restaurant reservation, red roses, fireworks, all the jazz. I wanted to give you that much." he chucked darkly to himself. "I know now that I have been the biggest asshole to let that moment slip away and let you go without bringing up a fight. I should have said it right then and there. Fireworks or no fireworks."

You went through a rollercoaster of emotions over his speech. After watching the video, you wanted to storm back to the reception and confront him, angry because it made you feel ashamed at what the both of you had to go through in the last couple of weeks. Now you just want to laugh out loud at how this has unfolded.

"Fireworks?" you squeaked, wiping tears that threatened to fall from the sides of your eyes.

"Well, they're a bit romantic...don't you think?" he said shyly, looking down. You finally burst in a loud, belly laugh.

"You idiot. Come here."

Shohei took huge strides to get to you, smiling widely. You forgot how much he towered over your small frame. You had to strain your neck to look up at him. "I hope it's not too late to say it. I don't have the fireworks though. I didn't get to plan if this cornering-you-in-the-wedding thing is going to work out... And as for the tabloids, I--"

You went on your tiptoes and pulled his face to yours. "Stop talking."

You gave him a light peck at first, testing the waters. He returned the kiss with more pressure, as if trying to catch up with lost time. He put his hands on your waist and pushed his body towards you with so much fervor. This time, his movements became needy, frantic even. As if any moment from now, you'd disappear again.

He held the nape of your neck and pulled you closer, opening your mouth with his tongue. He licked the insides of your mouth, making you shiver with pleasure. A moan escaped your lips and you held on to his shoulders tightly. Both of you are lost in the kiss, pulling and pushing each other's bodies like molding clay, hoping that after this, you come out as one body, one soul and one heart.

You only parted when you needed to breathe for air, foreheads touching. You're both needy now, desperate for more of his touch. Anywhere that he hasn't touched feels on fire. His hand wandered through your clothed chest and squeezed your breast tightly, earning another moan from you. You let your leg stroke his middle and felt him harden, all while your hands pinched his ass. He grunted a noise and gave you a hungry look. Anything that you've thought before this moment has been forgotten. You remembered how much you wanted this, how much you wanted him.

"I love you, Y/N. I'm sorry I took so long to say it." Shohei finally broke the kiss and looked at you. "Fuck, that feels so good. You don't know how happy I am that I could finally say that. I love you."

You too couldn't imagine a better moment for him to say it.

Fireworks or no fireworks.

TS4′s Wedding Story is a bit Iffy, isn’t it?

So... With all the squeeing over the My Wedding Stories trailer, I feel kinda bad that the first reaction I had to the wedding story shown in the trailer was, “well, that’s kinda biphobic, right? It’s iffy at the very least...”

If you haven’t seen the trailer, it’s basically a woman and man getting engaged, the bride makes her friend maid-of-honor (moh) or something (and thus brings her moh to all the wedding planning stuff, if she’s not the moh, this is even more egregious since groom isn’t bringing a mere friend/guest to these things, and apparently has no best man available, so we already have bride and not-moh being emotionally enmeshed in ways that no one else is in the trailer), bride and groom has a few disagreements about cake and flowers, moh comforts bride after an argument, bride clearly falls in love with her right then and there, but instead of immediately breaking her engagement, has her wedding with groom at the altar, and the bisexual bride grabs the moh and kisses her.

And the groom is shown to be a stoked wedding guest at bride and moh’s wedding afterwards.

For those who don’t know: Bi people are stereotyped and assumed to either be homosexual people in the closet (going from male love interest to female, in this case), or to be chronically dissatisfied in monogamous relationships since they “want both” (and thus will cheat, either emotionally or physically, just like the bride in the trailer who did both), and even to be promiscuous with little to regard for their partners (like leaving someone they’ve promised monogamy to on the altar while publicly humiliating them by making out with another sim...). This biphobia is prevalent in BOTH straight and gay dating scenes, and while screwing with relationships is a honored tradition in The Sims franchise, the way they told this story feels a bit iffy to me...

It also perpetuates the myth that betrayed spouses have to be happy for their cheating partners because of the sexual organs/genders of the promoted side pieces because they need to celebrate the cheaters being their authentic selves (even in Sims Nation, where there is no LGBTphobia, apparently), which have been used in real life not to just to shit on betrayed spouses and their relationships (often calling them “not real” because of the hidden identity of the cheater when they were very real to the betrayed spouse), but also to invalidate LGBT orientations as “not a real betrayal” (see any straight guy exclaiming how hot it is when his bisexual girlfriend makes out with other girls in a supposedly monogamous relationship).

Oh well, at least the nail art is sparkly, there are more wedding dresses and possible slow dancing (squee!).

I was ready to squee over the lighter, graying brown hair in one of the photos, but then I remembered the disclaimer in the beginning of the trailer saying that not all images are representative of what we’re getting... I so hoped that the rest of the hair colors would get graying versions (like the medium brown and black we already have) not tied to hairstyles (looking at you, Nifty Knitting), and perhaps some kind of aging thing going on (Sims at halfway point through the Adult stage getting gray hairs, anyone?).

Regardless of my iffiness with the trailer, I’m tentatively looking forward to this pack and crossing my fingers for a relationships overhaul to make the gameplay more engaging, since this is a game pack after all and not a wedding stuff pack.

The Spirit(s) of Christmas - Part 4

Summary: It was your first Christmas at the Seaside Manor since you had inherited it. Whilst you were ready for some Christmas spirit, the ghosts haunting it weren’t as willing to celebrate.

Pairing: reader x Day6 (ft. previous OCs)

World: Spiritual Connection (masterlist HERE)

Genre: ghost au / romance / fluff / minor angst

Warnings: tissues may be needed for this part

A/N: Welcome back to the Seaside Manor! I knew we couldn’t just leave the ghosts to celebrate by themselves - which apparently, they aren’t so keen to do anyway! So we had to return and see if we could bring in some festive cheer!

This story is part of a previously written world. It may make some sense, but to understand all the characters, I highly recommend reading all the previous parts and spinoffs in the masterlist first before reading this series! They can be found in the link above.

The Spirit(s) of Christmas will be shared daily at 10am from 2 December NZST.

Preview | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

The mood around the manor had definitely turned festive. There was a countdown for the upcoming wedding in place and when you weren’t making sure your last guests for the year were comfortable and enjoying their stay, you were darting back and forth from meetings with Becky and Sarah. Although she was still stunned, when Sarah learned of Jae’s and Becky’s upcoming nuptials, she had insisted on making the perfect wedding cake.

It couldn’t be going any better.

Well, there was just one person left who wasn’t as festive as the rest. You found Sungjin reading a book in the living room the Sunday before Christmas, his eyes lifting to the barely decorated tree when you sat down beside him. “Do you even plan on hanging anything more than tinsel on this tree?”

“Of course.”

“Y/N, it’s three days until Christmas, shouldn’t you have done it by now?”

You nodded, laughing a little. “You still nag me so well, Dad.”

Sungjin didn’t respond, though you noticed the way he glanced away, swallowing down the lump that had formed in his throat. Choosing it as a perfect time to shift closer, you buried yourself into him. It wasn’t really something you had done much since returning as an adult but you could remember doing this almost daily whenever you stayed as a child. You couldn’t help but tear up when you felt his protective hug envelope you just as he did when you were little.

Sungjin chuckled hoarsely. “You’re not as small as you once were. You used to fit in my arms completely.”

“Still feels good to me.”

“Same.”

“I miss her so much,” you mumbled into the embrace and he held you more tightly. “I wish she was here.”

“I’m sure your Grandmother is watching over us all from somewhere nearby, knowing her.”

“She should visit then,” you grumbled, lifting your head up from his chest and instantly feeling his thumbs wipe away your tear stains. Sungjin then nodded in agreement, looking around the room.

“It would be nice if she could see how well this place looks. You’ve done a good job this year.”

“You all helped me, don’t forget. If it weren’t for you, I’d not have the courage to be out here running this business. I would have just sold up and moved on probably.”

“Your Grandmother would’ve hated that,” Sungjin teased, his smile soon losing its humour. He brushed your hair away from your face instead. “I’m glad you stayed.”

“Is it weird that I’m so much older now and yet you’re still like a parental figure to me?”

Sungjin shook his head. “I’m dead and way older than you; I’m still your Dad as far as I’m concerned.”

“I knew you heard us that time! When I was telling Grandma how I felt. It was you who made the bang, I saw you.”

“Did your Grandmother ever tell you about how she loved you like the child she didn’t get to have too? Your mother is so much like her father that Pearl could never quite relate to her like she did you.”

“So I’m your love child?” you offered and Sungjin blushed. “Whatever our relationship is, we still have so much to talk about. I feel like I never just sit and hear the stories of you and Pearl.”

“Should you call her that?” he warned lightly and you grinned.

“Can I tell you something first?” Sungjin nodded and you produced the box you had come in with. “I never hung up a single ornament on the tree until she arrived at my house. That’s why I haven’t been able to do it this year because I know there’s no way she can.”

You opened the box, showcasing some of your favourite ornaments, the ones that your grandmother had cherished. With tears falling, you smiled up at Sungjin. “Can you hang them with me?”

After placing on the ornaments together, Sungjin had led you into your grandmother’s room which had been left the way she had last done so. You had actually transformed two of the downstairs rooms into bedrooms, the once six-bedroom manor now boasting eight rooms, allowing Sarah to have her own space and your grandmother’s to remain as a place you could step into whenever you missed her. You were already heightened enough from hanging decorations with Sungjin that being in here felt like a home you hadn’t visited in so long. You reached for your favourite handmade cushion from her bed, hugging it to yourself.

“I want to show you something.”

“Oh?”

“There was a time where your Grandmother insisted that she married me. Of course, in what realm would that hold up? Still, she was certain that day would come for us and so, she made something for it.”

Sungjin pressed on the wall panel that you knew as a hiding place, stepping inside only for a moment before he retrieved something from within. Returning, he held out a garment bag whilst smiling. “I almost forgot about this dress until you suggested Becky and Jae get married. Now, it’s not much. I for one think it’s gorgeous but that’s because Pearl made it.”

Unzipping the bag, you retrieved the ivory dress from the inside, gasping when you saw it. It was a simple dress and yet you loved everything about it. You could see her craftsmanship within every stitch you admired. Glancing up at Sungjin, you gave him a watery smile. “Did she ever wear it in front of you?”

“Isn’t that bad luck?” Sungjin asked, shaking his head softly before smirking. “I may or may not have taken a peek during her final fitting.”

“I wish I could wear this one day,” you murmured, running your hands across the fabric fondly. “She would have been a beautiful bride at your side.”

“So will you, one day.”

“I’m not going to get married,” you answered pointedly, though your heart fluttered at the idea of Brian in a suit at your side. It was unrealistic, even if you would want nothing more than to marry the person you loved most.

You knew you could love Brian wholeheartedly without announcing any I do. You had already said that when you stepped into this relationship with him.

“But we both know someone who is,” Sungjin mentioned, ushering you towards the door. You grinned before darting down the hallway to the study. Barging through the door, you cringed when Becky yelped.

“Oh, I’m useless at sewing! No matter how much I try, this gown isn’t working out.”

Grinning, you held up the special dress. “I might have something to help you out.”

Monday went by in a blur, fare-welling your final guests before going over remaining wedding touches with Becky and Jae. Brian had been assisting Jae and all his needs whilst you focused on trying different hairstyles and makeup with Becky and Sarah. Admittedly, you were enjoying both their company greatly. You never felt overwhelmed with being the only female living here for some time but you hadn’t exactly made a lot of friends you could just hang out with either.

Now with Sarah in the knowledge of the afterlife, and along with Becky, you were more than content.

However, your relaxed nature of the day before was gone when you got up early on Christmas Eve and with but a mere kiss for the still sleeping man in your bed, you dashed to the bathroom where you could hear pre-wedding jitters going on.

“This is crazy,” Becky breathed as Sarah curled her hair. “I’m getting married.”

“Yes you are!”

“After nearly one hundred and fifty years of being apart.”

“Love can last more than a lifetime,” Sarah breathed dreamily and you smirked at her dazed smile.

“Do you think that this is silly at all?” Becky asked a moment later and both you and Sarah shook your heads. “No?”

“What’s silly about telling the man you love that you want to be his bride forever?” Sarah wondered and you reached out to hold Becky’s shaking hand.

“Jae is going to freak out when he sees you.”

“Not if I don’t first!” she admitted with a giggle.

Two hours later, everything was almost ready for your Christmas wedding. The manor looked the part, both a winter wonderland and ceremony ready. Wonpil had scattered petals on a pathway up to the makeshift archway Brian and Dowoon had built. Sungjin was setting out a small number of chairs and Jae appeared to be the epitome of an anxious groom.

“What if I forget what I want to say? I mean, I’m good with my words, right? It’s how I got here in the first place. I never shut up when it came to B! We dated and we fell more in love and I still did the most of the talking and that was okay. But what if I can’t talk today?!”

“You got this, bro!” Dowoon enthused and Wonpil nodded as he fixed the bouquet a final time.

“Even if you can’t talk, I’m sure Becky will, which will be a nice change from when she couldn’t,” Sungjin offered.

“You’ll be fine. Just don’t cry too much because then your eyes will grow smaller and-”

“Brian,” you called out to the man who was teasingly working up his best friend. He turned, his mouth falling ajar at seeing you there. You had changed into a mint green dress you and Sarah had picked up for the special occasion, and you had to admit that seeing all the hard work everyone had put into this ceremony and of your bridal look as well had your stomach full of flutters.

Until you realised there was one role for this wedding missing.

“Hey um, it looks really great in here and I know you’re ready to get on with this but who’s going to run the show?”

“What do you mean?” Jae asked, his eyes widening behind his glasses.

“Well, at most weddings, there’s usually a celebrant or pastor or someone. Did any of you figure that out yet, like I asked you to?” Watching the five men look sheepishly at each other, you groaned in realisation. “Guys!”

“Well, I thought we had sorted it,” Brian mentioned, scrunching his nose up a little as he thought. “Did we not decide on someone?”

“I was on flowers,” Wonpil announced, handing you the bouquet you needed for Becky.

Dowoon pointed to the archway. “I helped Brian build this.”

“And I can’t do it myself,” Jae said, looking around at his friends. “Could you imagine that?! That’s more words.”

“Well, I thought Brian was doing it.”

“Does it matter who? Just choose someone and do it now!” you hissed, pointing to the clock. “We wanted to start at ten!”

“How about if I do it?”

All of you turned around, completely shocked by who had turned up for the Christmas wedding.

Coparents (Part 2) • Ben Chilwell

I enjoyed so much writing this and I hope you like it too. You can read part one here if you haven’t already done it, and I may or may not write even a part 3 if you like the idea x -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Daddy, mommy and I made cookies" the little one screams excitedly as he sees Ben on the threshold. 

"I see buddy" he chuckles as he enters the kitchen and goes to leave a kiss on his son's head full of what he hopes is flour.

"Yeah and we lost track of time" she apologizes and then turned to the little one "Come on, shower. Dad is here for you" she made him get off the counter and the baby started running up the stairs.

"I'll be right there, don't touch anything!" she screams in vain knowing that as soon as the baby goes away with Ben she will have to clean up beyond the kitchen, even the bathroom and his bedroom.

"Sorry" she sighs, moving the last dirty bowls into the sink and checking the oven.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry" he says, approaching her and when she turns around, she finds him a few steps away from her.

"You have flour everywhere" he chuckles as he reaches for the duster on the counter.

"Yeah, Ryan isn't so reliable as an assistant chef"

"Like me" he gently wipes the cloth on her cheek and for a moment they look at each other's eyes. Then she recovers from her trans and quickly moves away from his touch, "I-I have to go check on Ryan"

He watches her disappear quickly and sighs. He remembers when in that situation, covered with flour, there were them a few years earlier. She had always had a passion for cooking, especially for baking, and he always offered to try her creations because let's say it who would ever give up sweets. But there were moments when she convinced him to get on the other side of the counter with her and become her helper, even knowing he would do more damage than actual helping. The time always came when she was distracted and he took the opportunity to throw her a handful of flour, triggering a war that ended with a yell for the waste of food from her mother -and also from his mother who immediately received a phone call-. But their goal was to have fun and as long as they succeeded there was no lecture that held.

Fifteen minutes later more or less he hears little steps hurrying down the stairs and immediately afterwards the little one runs towards him.

"Don't run down the stairs" he reminds him, taking him in his arms as the baby settles better on his chest, probably going to sleep soon.

(Y/N) goes down behind him still dirty with flour in her hair and with a water stain on the shirt -the bright side of bathing a hyperactive child-, with her she carries the backpack with Ryan's toys posing it on the kitchen island.

"I turned the oven off, I think they're ready" he lets her know, rocking the baby in his arms slightly back and forth.

"Hmm thank you, I've forgotten about it" she shakes her head as she heads towards the oven, "I'll put someone in a container, is it okay?" he nods.

"Cookies" the baby murmurs sleepily making him giggle and leaves a kiss on his head.

While she prepares everything, she informs him of something in particular that happened in those days that he must be aware of and he makes sure that Ryan has prepared everything this time because only he knows what happened the previous time when he had to drive to her house at three in the morning because he had forgotten Mr. Gigi, the stuffed bear he sleeps with. The child wanted to prepare the bag by himself because he was now a big man and obviously she had taken it for granted that something so important would be inserted first in the backpack. Well, this time she had personally seen with her own eyes the child had actually taken it and had ascertained further by going down the stairs minutes before.

So with everything he needs ready, Ben decides it's time to go and she helps him get everything to the car as Ryan has finally fallen asleep. He gently rests him in place by fastening his belt, while she places her backpack and biscuits at his side leaning out just enough to leave him a slight kiss on his forehead.

"Thanks for keeping him a day early anyway"

"Not a problem, really"

"And don't let him sleep too much otherwise he won't sleep tonight" she advises, closing the car door gently.

“Don't worry, give him the ride to my house and he will be fresh as a daisy” he can spot his own child. Then comes the moment of greetings that turns into an embarrassing moment when both of them turn to the same side and their lips almost touch each other. With a short hug, and even more embarrassment in the air, they say goodbye definitively and she almost runs to lock herself in the house not even waiting to see them go away as she usually does.

*

"I think she's dating someone" Ben turns around and looks at his friend in confusion. He and James are watching one of those junk shows on TV now that Ryan was finally asleep and just wanted to unplug his brain, not think about things too adults or for children for a few hours. "Who?" so he sighs and asks.

"(Y/N)" he replies as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

"What? Why do you think that?" suddenly he finds himself very interested in the conversation and leans forward, a grin born on James's face.

"Well she's happier lately, always with a smile on her face and has changed haircut"

"That's it?" he mocks, "a change of hairstyle and we cry scandal?!" the boy comes back to lean on the back of the sofa.

"Everybody knows that when a girl changes her hairstyle, a change is underway, Ben" he tells him with a wisdom.

"Whatever you say" Ben murmurs returning to focus on the figures on the screen.

“We'll see at the wedding, maybe she will show up with someone" continues the blond next to him, but Ben is already lost in his thoughts. She asked him to pick up Ryan a day in advance and he didn't bother to ask her what she had to do, convinced something had come up at work. But now that he has the idea in his mind, he couldn't help but think about that possibility. It was well known that Ryan doesn't know how to shut up though, and he would surely have told him if (Y/N) had introduced someone to him or at least before taking such an important step she was the one who had to let him. He was still his son too after all.

Who’s he kidding, it's not because of the little monster sleeping upstairs that he feels what he feels. As if his throat could close at any moment just at the thought of her with someone else. He is almost 25 years old and has fallen in love with his son's mother. He swore that their relationship would not change over the years, and yet something had happened. His way of looking at her had changed, every smile directed at him was like a punch straight to the stomach, every touch was exactly as the first one. And for months now he had been rejecting that strange feeling, the desire to hold her close to himself and smell her scent. And that feeling of discomfort in the pit of the stomach when James spoke of a possible man was not accidental. Jealousy. He was fucked, he knew it too well.

*

"Daddy, mommy is beautiful, isn't she?" exclaims the child in his arms with a huge smile that highlights the small hole he has between his upper teeth. She wears a long burgundy dress that looks great on her and has slightly wavy hair, dropped on her shoulders.

"Yes love, she's really beautiful" he answers without breaking eye contact with her. Certainly he cannot tell his son and the group of people around them what he thought when he firstly saw her. Damn, he seems to be back as a teenager when he seemed to have a crush on every female person he met. With the difference that this is not a temporary crush, but a real flame that is consuming him inside.

She looks down imperceptibly before smiling and answering that even the two boys in front of her are not bad at all, stretching an arm to tickle a sensitive area of the child and making him giggle. Then in an instant, his attention is caught by Jamie and he asks his father to put him down to run by him. Leaving Ben, (Y/N), James and some other team mates alone.

"The brat is right, you look great" says James sincerely before taking a sip of whatever he has in his glass.

"Thank you" she smiles, accepting the glass of sparkling wine Ben is offering her.

"So you came alone?" if a look could kill, James would be dead and buried at that moment.

"Well no, Ryan and I are one for years now as you know. With whom else should I have come?!" she laughs at him and Ben really hopes that no one has noticed how he loosens his tie after that answer.

"So you're single?"

"James, maybe it's better if you put that glass down" he replies making a face. She is confused by the sudden worry with her love life, but doesn't have time to think about it so much that the bride and groom make their entrance into the room and the attention is captured by them.

  A few hours later they are all sitting around a table enjoying the great food and company, making small talks. Ryan has long been asleep on (Y/N) that between a chat and another caresses his back distractedly and is actually surprised how he can sleep with all that noise.

"Oh I like this song!" she rocks slightly to the rhythm. The first dance between the bride and the groom had taken place before, so the dance floor is at the complete disposal of the guests.

"Do you wanna dance?" she looks up from the little one on her lap and finds Ben's gaze on her, the tie has been removed soon after the first course and the jacket is on his arm. There had been an elbow from James who had pushed him to step up, but better than nothing.

"Wh-what?" she questions taken aback.

"Come on" he shrugs his shoulders as he reaches for her and gestures for her to stand up. She is about to point out the existence of their son on her when James comes out with open arms, ready to take his sleeping nephew with him.

"Come to Uncle James'" he murmurs, placing him in his arms even though the child can't hear him.

So after a last caress to the child she accepts Ben's hand, which has since put the jacket back on, and the two set off for a corner of the dance floor.

"When was the last time we danced together?" she asked absently, placing her arms around the boy's neck and standing at his height. The heels put on for the occasion earned her a few centimetres. His hands automatically on her waist.

"I don't know, but we certainly wouldn't have danced like that" he chuckles.

"We're parents now" just a look between the two to burst out laughing, she throws her head back and when she returns to her place she finds Ben's face a few inches from hers.

"Ben" she mutters, suddenly all the hilarity is gone.

"Believe me if we weren't where we are I would kiss you here and now" the grip on her waist becomes stronger, as if from one moment to the other she can escape.

"Ben" seems to be the only thing capable of saying as she continues to watch him, the song seems to last for an eternity. "We cannot"

"Why? Give me a valid reason" he pleads her, his gaze moves from her eyes to her lips in expectation.

But the answer doesn't arrive because finally the song ends and she hastens to leave the dance floor. And he follows her, determined not to waste his chance. Ryan, their friends or the years of friendship do not exist for a moment. He knows he could never allow their relationship to disintegrate, but it's time to stop running around in circle and face the fact that their friendship has eventually become something more.

He goes out into the garden attached to the restaurant and finds her leaning against the railing, intent on looking at the view lost in her thoughts. Approaching her he notices she is shaking because of the slight breeze and is quick to take off his jacket again to place it on her shoulders. She gasps imperceptibly but doesn't turn to look at him and he sighs.

"I don't want to give Ryan false hope" she murmurs after a while.

"(Y/N) look at me" and she does it not at all convinced however that it's the best thing to do at that moment, "Don't use our son as an excuse" and those words strike her like a stab. The truth is that she never stopped to think about those new sensations she felt when she was simply in his company or even when she thought about him. And she had never seriously fallen in love, she had had Ryan in her twenties and from there she automatically thought that no one would ever look at her once they knew she had a baby. So she had simply locked up the part involving relationships and meeting new people in a remote corner of her brain, telling herself her son's love would be enough.

"Marriage effect" she curses herself as soon as she says those words. And she doesn't have time to do anything because he rolls his eyes grabbing her by his jacket and kissing her. It's a small peck that, however, sends both into ecstasy.

"You said stupid things in your life, but this one surpasses them all" he chuckles once he breaks away, still a few inches from her.

She clears the distances again and leaves a small kiss on his lips, and they are forced to break away because they smile so much that kissing is almost impossible. "Okay" she murmurs, clutching his jacket and he looks at her in confusion.

"Okay, I'll give us a chance"

"But" she smiles, he knows her too well.

"But this remains between us, no one has to know for the moment. I don't want too many expectations if things don't go well” he nods, he could agree every little condition in that moment because he is convinced they are meant to be. I’m so fucked up. "Nobody Ben. And that means being careful about Ryan"

"We will do whatever you want, but now kiss me"

A Modern Style Guide To Keeping Bridesmaids Happy.

One thing I see time and time again at weddings are bridesmaids wearing similar looks to one another which I can guarantee they would never normally consider wearing in their everyday lives. I’m always very confused by this kind of thinking because if I wear to watch a red carpet awards ceremony, I will never see any of my favourite actresses wearing cloned hairstyles and matching makeup. Women are currently celebrated for their unique take on fashion styling as well as grooming, so it only seems natural to me that this movement should filter through to the modern bridal party.

THE ORIGINAL ROLE OF A BRIDESMAID

The idea of having your bridal party all wear the same dress actually dates way back to an old Chinese practice during the feudal era for when a young girl would be soon married. The original role of a bridesmaid was to protect the bride from a potential kidnapping by a jealous suitor or evil spirit. The bridesmaids she chose would be requested to all wear white dresses so that if someone were to try and kidnap her, they would hopefully be confused by who the actual bride was and capture one of her maids by mistake. It wouldn’t be until after the ceremony that they would be aware that they had taken the wrong woman. Later, as legal protections for marriage were established, this was no longer necessary, and the role of a bridesmaid became more symbolic.

As we no longer need to trick our guests into knowing who the bride is, I believe it is more agreeable than ever before to allow your bridal party to look and feel as comfortable in their wedding attire as you do in the gown you have likely spent weeks or months searching for. Another thing to bear in mind is that often bridesmaids are told they could wear their dress again – however, if the dress doesn’t make them feel comfortable or like any version of themselves, that (pricey) dress will most likely end up in a charity shop, on eBay or at worst straight into the bin directly after your big day.

STYLING OPTIONS

One of my favourite bridesmaid styling options is allowing your friends the opportunity to find what looks best on them. If you truly have your heart set on a particular colour palette, something as simple as allowing them to pick alternate tones for their dress can make a world of difference to how they will perceive their dress. Another styling option would be to have them each choose a different cut in the same tone so that their varying body shapes all fit perfectly in their dresses, leaving them as confident in what they’re wearing as you do in yours. I find brands such as THE OWN STUDIO and SHONA JOY to be wonderful suppliers as they carry their dress styles across a range of different cuts and colour palettes which flatter different body shapes and skin tones.

Another modern but fun item for bridesmaids is something like a monogrammed boyfriend shirt to get ready in, rather than the ultra feminine bridal robes we have all seen before. The added touch of having their initials embroidered in is something they will appreciate alongside the fact this is a wardrobe staple they can wear again after the wedding day.

After the dress, the next clone culprit is usually to do with hair or makeup. So often I see women subject their friends to exposing unfortunate hairlines or wearing mismatched colour palettes just because it’s a wedding. Honestly, if your friend came out of the hair salon looking like their toner was off, you would tell them to march straight back in there and ask them to fix it, so I think the same could be said for style choices on a wedding day. These ladies are supposed to be your friends, after all.

Differing style height options and partings are not the only way to mix things up to suit everyone. If one friend looks better with her hair down and the other with a ponytail style, plan ahead and practice wearing these different styles together on dinner dates to make sure you can all agree on something which both makes them feel themselves and makes you happy.

When it comes to makeup styling, so long as everyone feels enhanced, I think you should let them wear makeup they feel comfortable in. There is honestly nothing worse than being told you have to wear eyeliner when you don’t have the eye shape for it. Tightlining the upper lashline will give enough definition to the eyes for those with small or hooded eyes, so there isn’t any need for every bridesmaid to wear winged eyeliner. Sometimes this classic look just doesn’t suit everyone, so it’s better not to force it.

FINAL TOUCHES

To make sure everyone is totally equipped for the day, designate a day around the week of your hen party to catch up and collect those final items to make sure you are all ready for the day. This can include things such as the perfect jewellery choices to match their style (and yours), touch up items, heel protectors and those magic curve huggers we all know as Spanx. Never underestimate the importance of girdle style support underneath silk finish fabrics!

The final step is now to organise any last appointments for you and your ladies to enjoy together a week before the wedding so that you all feel your absolute best and worry-free in the last two weeks before the wedding. This is a great way to ensure everyone is absolutely primed and prepared before the big day, as well as a means for you to have a little female bonding together through self-care. If you or your bridesmaids have any hair appointments during this time, just remember to save any big changes for after the big day so that no one ends up with a bad fringe choice in your forever photos! The same goes for facials. If you really can’t resist one, I personally recommend the FaceGym facelift. This one is more focused on lifting through massage, so there will be no nasty chemical redness, reactions or breakouts after. Just remember to try anything new before the big day to be sure of the results so that there are no surprises before the big day.

💐 Shiori

Wedding Asks ( @thewolfisawake , @for-a-prxce )

Alternatively, send 💐 for a picture of the outfit my Muse would make YOUR Muse wear if they were in the wedding party!

Ah, Shiori, the woman who’d have everything black and white. Now she’s another very picky lady and would even tell the guests that they’d have to wear black and white as well but none of the female guests are allowed to wear a white dress. It can have white on it but it can’t be solid white. And knowing how Ren is when it comes to the heat, their wedding will likely be held inside somewhere so that he doesn’t suffocate and she won’t have to worry about them wearing so much and getting too hot. So basically, where Ren would have a black tux with black vest, black undershirt and a solid white tie, she’d have the groomsmen also in a black tux but with a white vest, undershirt and a bowtie instead. The corsage featured is very much the kind that she’d have too. They’d also have to wear simple black dress shoes and any jewelry they choose to wear would have to be silver. She would, however, allow Samir to choose his own hairstyle because she knows he’s not hopeless when it comes to style like Ren is.

For the ladies, it would be a simple black dress like the ones featured here. Nothing flashy because her own dress is going to be the real show stopper. Each of the ladies will be adorned in simple white heels, again nothing over the top and are free to style their own hair so long as she is the one that gives the okay at the end of it. Minimum makeup would be a requirement, she was never a fan of too much and the same thing goes with the ladies, all jewelry will have to be silver (the only exception to the for either side of the party would be if it’s their own wedding rings).

QUEEN OF ROSES- Prologue- Queen: A Night at the Wedding Hotel

Author’s note: This is my first ever fanfic posting on tumblr, so please be gentle uwu

Warnings: Smut and lots of it! This is an au that has elements based on real events (but that occurs later on in the series. Keep in mind this is the prologue.) The story is set in 1977 and progresses through the rest of the years in the other parts. Also the “oc’s” in this fic (Marina, Elizabeth, Dove, Taylor) are real celebrities. The series is pretty long. As a side note: I am in no way erasing Freddie’s bisexuality/homosexuality with this fic. This is purely for fun and I hope you enjoy reading it, I worked long and hard on this series and debated even releasing it. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy.

PS: I’m sorry if it comes out as a big wall of text, I don’t know how to edit fics on tumblr.

It was 1977 and the band Queen had to take a short break from their News Of The World Tour. A rather important event for all four members of the band came up. Coincidentally an all female English rock group that was just as famous as Queen at that time had to take a break from touring as well... The Roses they were called were on hiatus, the female rock group was getting married... to the members of Queen... all on the same exact day. The priest wasn’t as pleased about seeing the four couples at the altar all tying the knot. The weddings were in Staffordshire, England and were private affairs. The equally as flamboyant front-woman for The Roses, Marina had a long flowing wedding dress on that poofed out at the bottom with ruffles. She locked arms with Freddie Mercury, her soon to be husband. His neck length black hair combed and his satin white suit with the purple innings adorning his slim form. Freddie had met Marina at a pub with the rest of Queen after a gig and it was love at first sight. She was just as flamboyant on stage as he was and just as shy and quiet off stage like him. They were a match made in Heaven. Freddie had told her about his previous relationship with a woman... and his sexuality. Marina wasn’t surprised... no straight man she knew would willingly dress up in women’s clothes unless it was for a good reason. Marina accepted him nonetheless and his being open with her only made her fall for him more. The proposal was at the flat that the members of Queen shared. Marina had come over to share a new song with Freddie and ended up not only getting praise for her song but a marriage proposal with a huge wedding ring. Marina and Freddie were all smiles in the small Staffordshire Church that Saturday morning. Their relationship had been nothing but fluffy feelings and happiness with a bit of flair mixed in. Roger Taylor and Dove’s relationship had been a different story though. The two of them were so much alike it was scary. Both were blonde, pretty and promiscuous. Roger unfortunately was more promiscuous than his soon to be wife. Roger’s ex girlfriend applauded Dove for taming the wild blonde drummer and having him settle down. Roger was a known player, and had different chicks on his arm almost every night. After meeting Dove at the pub (who had played hard to get from the beginning) Roger knew he had to have her. Thus, began their complex relationship with Roger being fed up with Dove sometimes and vice versa. Roger soon tried to straighten up and fly right when he realized what a catch the female drummer was and soon proposed to her outside of a studio in the Fall of 1976. She had looked down at him in shock for the longest time when it happened, prompting a snarky comment from him on how his knee was getting numb and that he couldn’t stay down in that position forever. He was answered with an “Oh shut up Roger!” and a resounding “yes” to his proposal. She was currently leaning against Roger as the vows were being read. Brian and Elizabeth aka Lana, took some time to get to know each other better before tying the knot. It turned out that they were both serious nerds when it came to the cosmos and subjects related to it. They were both evenly matched on the intelligence scale and both played well on the guitar. Lana read more books than Brian though, but he didn’t mind... that only made him love her more. He had proposed under the night sky under the stars in a field near the flat Queen shared. A cool night breeze blew as they laid in the grass looking at the stars. Brian felt sick before he proposed... he was so nervous about it he didn’t think she would say yes after he got down on one knee after getting her attention by tapping her shoulder, her brown-auburn hair blowing gently before she smiled at him with tears almost flowing out of her eyes in pure joy at the sight of him asking for her hand in marriage. She nodded and hugged him, before he put the ring on her finger. John and Taylor were both quiet as they stood next to the other three couples at the altar... but then again when were they not quiet? Taylor was the bassist of The Roses and was the youngest member. She was in her early 20s. Taylor was usually quiet like John was but the difference between them was that Taylor was really funny. She could make a whole room laugh without trying. John immediately liked her when he met her at the same pub the rest of the guys met their ladies at. He proposed to her in the studio after a recording session. She said yes and hugged him only for Freddie to stop their celebration to get his camera to capture the moment. All four couples were ecstatic to be getting married.

“You all may kiss your brides.” The priest said as he watched four veils get lifted and the couples kissing. Freddie dipped Marina and kissed her deeply. The priest hadn’t the slightest idea on how the woman could kiss a man with teeth like those. Roger and Dove almost looked as if they were starting their wedding night by the looks of it, their kiss was deep and passionate while Roger snaked his hand to the back of her head to pull her into the kiss. The priest shook his head in disgust at Roger and Dove. This was a church for goodness sake, he could at least have a bit more class. Brian and Lana were both blushing during their kiss, the priest found that to be quite adorable but he was still confused as to why Brian insisted on looking like a poodle with his hairstyle. The priest rolled his eyes as he looked at John and Taylor. They had grabbed each other’s faces during their kiss. The priest frowned, what the bloody hell was wrong with kids these days? The couples had finally come up for air and walked back down the aisle in a row as their families cheered them on. Freddie’s mother started to cry, for she was so happy for her son. Everyone went outside to the limousines that were parked at the front of the church and the guests threw rice for the happy couples as they got into their own limos. Everyone was off to the reception. “Ugh my feet are already killing me.” Marina said as she took her heels off in the limo. “Well, the first duty I’ll do as your husband is rub your aching feet darling.” Freddie said with a smirk as Marina kissed his cheek and put her feet in his lap. “Thank you dear.” She replied with a giggle. In the next limo, Roger and Dove were heavily making out. Dove pulled away momentarily to catch her breath. Roger leaned back in for another round of lip locking and Dove put a finger to his lips. “Let’s save the rest for the wedding night and honeymoon, yeah?” She said breathlessly. “Yeah you’re right. I don’t know how much longer I can wait though. I want to see you... all of you.” He said softly as he started trailing kisses along her neck. “Rog! Stop it! Please... I wanna wait until tonight.” She whimpered out. “Fine. I’m still gonna kiss you though.” “Of course, Mr. Taylor.” She said as she turned her face back towards him and smiled before he continued their make out session. Brian and Lana were all smiles in their limo. “Gosh Bri, I love my name now, Elizabeth May. It has a ring to it.” “It sure does. But I do like Mrs. May better though.” “I like it too. So, how much wedding cake are you going to eat?” “Not much, but enough... that is if the rest of the guys don’t get to it first.” Brian teased. “Oh I’m sure they won’t. The girls will probably tear the cake apart though, Marina, Taylor and Dove have huge sweet tooths.” “Really? Well if the cake gets eaten then I’m sure there’s gonna be lots of wedding cookies.” “Those sound delicious! Sweetheart can we stop talking about food? I’m getting hungry.” “Anything you say princess.” “Oh shush.” Lana said as she kissed him, he smiled and kissed back. John and Taylor were in their limo laughing it up at a joke she had just told. “There’s so much rice in my shoes.” Taylor said as she shook her shoe a bit to get the rice out. “Here let me help.” John said with a slight smile as he helped her get the rice out of her shoes. “You know, rice throwing means fertility within a marriage. Just because I’m kicking rice out of my shoes doesn’t mean we won’t have children, John.” She joked. “Haha! I know. Um... Taylor?” “Yes?” “I know we were both extremely busy and couldn’t really speak on it at the time... but, how many children do you want?” He asked nervously as he handed her shoe back to her. She blinked in deep thought and smiled at him, caressing his face after she put her shoe back on. “However many you want. If you want a whole village we can have a village. The sky is the limit after all. I’ve always wanted kids of my own one day and now since we’re married... it’s only natural to talk about these things.” She said as she looked at him lovingly. “Yeah... it is. I don’t want a village though, I don’t want to put you through all of that... but I do want a lot of kids.” John said with a smile. “We can talk more about it on our honeymoon, how about that?” Taylor offered. “That sounds great.” He said as he kissed her.

The couples and their guests soon arrived at the reception which was held at a garden in Staffordshire that was a couple of miles away. The hotel that Freddie had chosen for himself and his wife was down the street from the garden. Though the guys had chosen their own hotels none of them realized that they had all accidentally chosen the same hotel for their wedding nights. But they would soon find out.

“Congrats to all four of you dashing couples! Now, let’s have the first dance!” Tim Staffel said as he took the mic. He was a member of Smile before it was called Queen. After he left the band, Freddie and John replaced him. He was still good friends with Brian though. “I still don’t understand why we couldn’t make ‘I’m In Love With My Car’ the song for the first dance.” Roger complained as he walked to the middle of the garden with Dove and the other couples. “We’re not having our first dance as husband and wife to your car song Roger!” Dove answered as she rolled her eyes. “It’s a bloody good song!” Tim Staffel and his band played a slower, more romantic version of ‘Doing Alright’ as the first song. Freddie held Marina close as they danced. She heard him humming in her ear as they danced. “You’re not even singing and you sound good.” Marina whispered to him. “Oh I always sound good, darling... actually I sound bloody great.” He whispered back. “Freddie Mercury, you are quite the character.” “And you are as well my darling. I love you, Mrs. Mercury.” “And I love you, Mr. Mercury.” “I thought you usually didn’t dance?” Lana asked her husband teasingly. “I don’t. But this is a happy occasion so... why not?” Brian grinned as he dipped Lana. Lana laughed after he dipped her and held onto him as they did an awkward two step due to how tall Brian was. “Dancing with you is like dancing on a cloud.” Taylor said softly into John’s ear. “Really? Well dancing with you is like dancing in the air.” John replied with a smile. “This song is so slow... but I have to say I’m enjoying it.” Roger said. “Good to know you’re enjoying something today.” Dove whispered. “Oh shut up, I’m enjoying you aren’t I? Even if it doesn’t seem like I’m enjoying you for whatever reason... there’s always tonight for me to enjoy you.” Roger said huskily into her ear. “Oh piss off Mr. Taylor.” Dove answered teasingly. The song ended and soon the families danced with the couples. After the first few dances, and a couple of funny and embarrassing stories had been passed around along with a huge quantity of alcohol, it was time to eat. “Oh mum made the spicy sausages! Try some everyone! Don’t be shy! There’s salad, pasta and pizza for Lana and Brian though.” Freddie called as he sipped some champagne and sat down with his wife to eat. “Oh for fucks sake! We’re not rabbits Fred!” Brian called out from the other end of the table. “Oh you both will be rabbits, just you wait until tonight!” Marina called back, which made the table erupt with laughter. Lana blushed and Brian rolled his eyes. “Real mature Marina!” Dove teased after eating a slice of pizza. “Says the one who insisted on fighting me over the bouquet at my sister’s wedding!” Taylor said teasingly. “Oh come off it!” Dove said as she sipped her champagne. “Really, everyone she’s not that mature at all... I mean she married Roger of all people!” Freddie announced. “What the bloody hell are you saying Fred? I’m one of the most mature men you know!” Roger answered before stuffing some sausage in his mouth. “How do you call hiding in a cupboard for hours just to get your song about having sex with your car on the album mature in any way?” John asked. “It’s a strong song and like I told Brian, the whole song is a bloody metaphor!” Roger yelled. “That song made me want to bash my head on my piano for goodness sake!” Freddie said. “You’ve done that before, Fred! You were so drunk one time we had to change your own clothes for you and then when you got on stage you couldn’t halfway sing Bohemian Rhapsody correctly and then you bashed your head on the piano. You’re lucky you didn’t get brain damage you wanker.” Brian said as he pointed at Freddie. “I had a little too much to drink that day... sorry darling.” Freddie said with a slight smirk and a shrug. “Can we eat cake now?” Lana asked in order to change the subject. “Oh sure why not! Oh Miami darling! The cake please!” Freddie called out to Queen’s manager on the far side of the room who was drinking the last bit of his champagne. “Of course Fred.” He brought the cake over and watched as Freddie got a knife preparing to cut the cake. “To new memories with your significant others, I wish you all -myself and Marina included- a very wonderful, blissful lasting marriage full of love, trust, happiness and lots and lots of good sex... and if you’re feeling especially cheeky lots and lots of babies! Now, my darlings I shall cut this beautiful confection and then in the words of Marie Antoinette, let them eat cake!” Freddie said cheerfully with a huge smile on his face as he started to cut the cake. “Just serve the damn cake already!” Lana yelled impatiently. “Patience my darlings.” Freddie said. The cake was soon cut and everyone had a slice of cake. Freddie and Marina started to feed each other. A bit of frosting got onto Marina’s lips and Freddie cheekily licked it off. In the back near the garden entrance, Paul Prenter stood there watching Freddie and Marina. He growled out of frustration and sulked. He then left in a huff and decided to go and party it up at a gay bar instead. Miami stood in the corner, watching Paul leave. “Good riddance.” He muttered under his breath as he sipped some more champagne he had gotten and went back to the party to mingle with the other wedding guests. It was nighttime now, and the drinking, eating and dancing was starting to slow down. “Brian, it’s getting late now.” Lana said as she hugged him. “Is it now? Well Mrs. May, where would you like to go at this hour?” He asked with a slight smirk. “Take me to the hotel, my tall and strong man.” Lana said in a low voice. Brian groaned in slight arousal as he heard her speak. He loved it when she spoke in a low voice. “Of course my lady.” He said with a bow as he picked her up and carried her bridal style. “Well goodnight everyone! We’re going to head to the hotel.” Brian announced. “We are too!” Roger said with Dove in his arms. “We’re right behind you.” John replied as he carried Taylor. “So are we darling.” Freddie said. Everyone said goodnight to each other and the men immediately went to the limos, put their significant others in and told the driver to step on it.

“I wonder why they’re still behind us?” Roger asked Dove as he looked out of the window of the limo before getting out after it stopped in front of the hotel. “Oi! Aren’t you blokes at the wrong hotel!?” He yelled. “Darling you must be drunk, I booked this hotel months ago.” Freddie replied as he emerged from his limo with Marina in tow. “Same here.” Brian replied. “So did I.” John added. “Fuck! This is just great! Please tell me you all didn’t get rooms next to me?” Roger complained. But, unfortunately Roger spoke too soon. After the elevator ride up to their rooms he discovered that they were all rooming next to each other for their wedding nights. What kind of sick joke was this?

{CAUTION: Smut ahead. If you are below 18 please DO NOT proceed!}

“Well this is great. We get a chance to hear Roger and his bird go at it tonight while we consummate our marriage, darling.” Freddie said bitterly. He was none too pleased about the arrangements. “Freddie... honey, it’s alright. You know... we could be even louder than them. They’re not going to ruin our night. We can’t let them.” Marina said with a determined look on her face. “Oh darling... I love this side of you so much. Let’s make some music together, my sweet.” Freddie said as he kissed her. She started to work his suit jacket off of him and he unbuttoned his shirt and took off his pants and shoes, leaving himself in his white man thong. “Oh my god! Fred! You wear thongs!?” “Yes for tonight... or I might wear them more than you think I do... that’s for you to find out.” He said cheekily with a wink as he laid down on the bed. Marina tapped his leg with her hand as she pointed at her dress. “Get me out of this death trap before you get too comfortable.” She teased. He helped her out of the dress and looked at her body as the dress slipped off of her. She wore white lingerie that fit around her curves. Freddie had never seen a more beautiful curvier woman than her. “Baby you’re beautiful.” He said as he gently led her back to the bed and pulled her down on top of him and kissed her deeply. She straddled him and ran her hand up his hairy chest. The kiss was soon broken as they looked each other in the eyes. “I wanna get down tonight... so make sure you don’t tease me.” Freddie said, a dominant look appearing in his eyes as he ran his thumb along her lower lip. She nodded wordlessly before he got on top and took her bra off. “Your tits are wonderful.” He said with a smirk as he took a nipple into his mouth and heard Marina moan. While Freddie got down and ready, Roger and Dove were strangely enough not doing much. “Roger! Please, I need you!” Dove begged. “I’ve wanted to do this all day and now since we’re finally here... I don’t feel like it and you do!? Fuck me...” Roger said as he sat on the edge of the bed. “I want you to but you’re not in the mood.” “Shit... you know, it might be because we’re next door to our bandmates!” He said, obviously annoyed. “Look, how about we start and if you’re still not feeling up to it... then we’ll stop.” Dove offered. “Alright. Sit in my lap.” He said. Dove did as she was told and Roger started to kiss her neck, her perfume was intoxicating and the scent of it was starting to drive him wild. “Dove your perfume... what’s it called?” “Love potion. Why?” Then without warning, Roger almost tore her dress open and jumped on her, going mad on her neck and kneading her clothed breasts. “Oh Rog! Roger!” She cried out in surprise and arousal. “They’re already loud... just like I expected.” Brian muttered to himself. Lana went to change in the bathroom and came out in lingerie. “Hello Mr. May.” Lana said seductively as she emerged from the bathroom. Brian’s eyes nearly popped out of his skull when he saw her. “Oh dear Jesus... Mrs. May. You look absolutely ravishing.” He said. He was completely breathless when he saw her. “I’m glad you think so, honey.” She replied as she laid down on her back on the bed next to him. “Please rock my world Brian.” She pleaded softly as she looked up at him lovingly. “Of course baby... of course I will.” He leaned down and kissed her deeply as he worked his pants and shirt off. “You’re nervous aren’t you?” John asked Taylor as she hugged her arms up to her chest shortly after John carried her over the threshold. “Yeah... I’m kinda nervous.” She said as she looked at him. “Come here. There’s nothing to be nervous about. I’ll go slow with everything and I’ll be gentle... unless you don’t want to do anything tonight?” “I want to! I... really want to. It’s just... the girls always talked about sex and honestly they kinda made me fear it since I’m still a virgin. Marina always said it hurts the first time... is that true?” Taylor looked at her newlywed husband. “I heard it does for women but I also heard that the more you do it, the less it hurts.” John answered. “Lana told me that too. John I’m scared...” Taylor trailed off with her sentence a bit. “Honey, there’s nothing to be afraid of with this. Look, you said you want a village of kids? Well this is one way on how to make that dream a reality. We’re not making babies tonight but instead we’ll be making love. Taylor, I need you to trust me on this.” Taylor blushed and nodded at what he had to say. “I trust you John.” She answered as she walked over to him and kissed him. During the kiss John loosened the back of her dress. After the kiss was broken, Taylor dropped her dress, revealing her white underwear to him. “You’re beautiful.” John said with a huge grin. “Thank you. So... what should we do first?” “Get on the bed, I’ll take the lead.” John replied as Taylor crawled onto the hotel room bed. John stripped down, only in his boxers now. He got on the bed and looked at Taylor. “Turn around so I can take your bra off.” He said softly. “Okay...” Taylor turned her back to him and he unclasped her bra. She slid it down and John finally saw her breasts. “A-Are they big enough? I know I don’t have the biggest-“ “They’re beautiful.” John said as he looked at her with nothing but pure love in his eyes. “May I?” He asked gently. “Yes.” Taylor nodded before gasping at the sudden feeling of his tongue on her nipples.

“Oh! Fred! Gosh yes! Ooh you told me not to tease you but here you are teasing me! Freddie I want more...” Marina whimpered as she looked at him. “I know what you want darling but I want to have a bit of fun... I won’t give it to you just yet though. Come over here and blow me before I reward you for being such a good girl.” Freddie dirty talked. Marina squealed in delight at what he had said. She was getting tired of the breast play. His thong slipped off easily and he was definitely at attention. “So fucking huge... how in the world is that gonna fit in me?” Marina said before she started licking it. “Mmm, It’ll fit dear... don’t worry. Ah... such a naughty girl.” Freddie said, his eyes closed along with a groan emitting from his throat as he threw his head back and completely welcomed the feeling of his new wife sucking him off. Meanwhile, Roger and Dove were getting steamier by the second. “Roger! What has gotten into you!? You’re like an animal! Oh Rog! Please!” Dove cried out as Roger’s head went between her legs. “Spread them.” He commanded. “I am spreading them!” “Go wider!” “This is as wide as they can go! If I spread them anymore I’ll break!” “Good. Maybe that’ll teach you a lesson about teasing me.” He said darkly. “What the bloody hell? What has gotten into you- Ah!” He spread her legs apart for her and went to town on her bare pussy. “Roger! Oh my god!” He shoved a finger into her and thrust it in and out of her. “Oh Roggie! Please!” Dove screamed out. Roger smirked as he heard his pet name fall from her lips. “Please what, love?” He teased as he looked up at her. “Stop teasing me! I need you inside of me right now... make our consummation official.” She whimpered breathlessly. “I thought you’d never say it... alright... let me go get the rubbers.” Roger said as he removed his fingers from her wet flower and sucked on them as he went to the drawer to look for condoms. “Brian... everything about you is... long.” Lana said as she stared at the guitarist’s birthday suit. He was well endowed but it wasn’t just big it was long... Lana wondered how in the world did he manage to fit that into his pants everyday. “Uh... thank you? I don’t know if that’s a compliment or...” “It’s a compliment Bri. I’m just trying to figure out how you’re gonna fit in me.” Lana said. “We’ll just have to try.” He replied. Lana was almost completely bare herself except for her panties. “Are you going to take those off or am I gonna be the only one in here naked?” Brian asked as he crossed his arms around his bare chest. “Oh right.” She replied as she took a deep breath and took her panties off, revealing all of herself to him. “You’re a goddess.” He said as he drank in the sight of his wife in the nude. “Thank you... So, what are we going to do first?” Lana asked. “Well... I’m going to do this.” Brian got on top of her and kissed his way down from her stomach to her wet lower lips. “Please Brian... don’t tease.” Lana whimpered. “I have to get you ready though, my love.” He replied as he sat up straight and rubbed her with his skilled fingers as he looked at her lovingly, a hint of mischief in his eyes. “Stop being so cheeky.” She said with a giggle before moaning loudly as he thrust two fingers into her. “Ah! Brian!” She cried out with a slight blush of embarrassment adorning her face. While Brian relished in Lana’s embarrassment, John and Taylor were busy trying to please each other. “That’s it! Like that... Taylor! Your mouth... it’s perfect. It’s all too perfect! Let up baby.” He said breathlessly as he leaned back against the headboard and brought her face to his where their lips met. “Did I do good honey?” She asked, her eyes lighting up after the kiss. “You did beautifully.” “What’s next? You already pleased me... and I pleased you... and... oh... that’s next.” “Yes it is. We don’t have to if you’re not comfortable with it.” John said as he looked at her. “I want to but... it’s the pain I’m afraid of.” “It’ll be alright. Look, if it hurts that much when I enter you... tell me and I’ll pull out. Okay?” He said with a serious look on his face. “Okay.” She said as she nodded. John had found a condom and put it on himself. Taylor laid down, her eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and worry. John positioned himself at her entrance. “Are you ready? Grab my hand if it hurts.” He said as she nodded and gasped at the sudden but brand new and foreign feeling of being filled for the first time.

“Oh my gosh! Fred!” Marina moaned loudly as she felt him finally fill her. He pulled her up into his lap and spanked her teasingly. “You alright my darling? Do you need a minute?” He asked. “No I’m fine dear. We can start.” She replied as she slowly brought herself on and off of his girthy length. “Oh Marina... we’ve only just begun and it feels so good.” Freddie groaned out as he slipped his hands under her bottom to bring her down harder on him. “Mmm it does, and you’re already hitting all the good spots.” She said with a whimper. “Darling... I might cum soon...” “Freddie dear, we just fucking started! Hold it in! Can you hold it in!? I want us to get there together...” “I’ll try darling. And don’t forget who’s in charge here.” He said in a low voice as he got on top of her and spanked her as he thrust in and out of her oh so deliciously, causing her to squeal and moan loudly. In the next room over, Roger had already entered Dove. “Is this what you wanted your Roggie to give you love?” He teased as he started to move after getting permission to do so. Dove was too overwhelmed by pleasure to answer and nodded briskly before a high pitched moan left her mouth. “Use your words, love.” He said as he panted a bit at the wonderful feeling he was experiencing right now with his wife. “Yes! Roger yes! Please move faster. I’m fucking begging you, move faster!” She cried out, desperate for more pleasure but at a faster pace. “You want me to make love to you faster? Such a dirty bird...” He teased. “Please... Roger... I need it...” “Hm? Need what?” He teased a bit further. “Give it to me faster! I need you to break me you bloody wanker!” She screamed. “Good... you used your words... such a good girl. Your wish is my command Mrs. Taylor.” Roger said as he leaned down and kissed her deeply as he sped up and thrusted harder causing the headboard to bang against the wall. Brian was thrusting into Lana at a reasonable pace and groaned when he heard the headboard banging from the other room next door to theirs and screams of debauchery. Brian was about to knock on the wall to tell them to shut up before Elizabeth stopped him. “Don’t let it... mmm... ruin this sweetheart.” Lana said as she looked up at him and caressed his face before he leaned down and kissed her, her hands suddenly in his curly poodle like hair. “Oh I’m definitely not.” Brian said softly as he leaned down more and kissed her neck, his groans and moans resounding in her ear. “Oh Brian! Ooh keep going!” “Of course my love!” He moaned as he kept at his reasonable pace. John was still waiting for Taylor to adjust to him. “I think I’m ready.” She said slowly. “Alright. If you want me to stop, please tell me.” He said. She nodded and smiled at him before moaning in unison with him as he started to move. “Ooh... J-John... it feels so good.” Taylor moaned out softly. “Don’t hide your moans... I like hearing them.” John said with a smile before he started to hit a certain spot in Taylor causing her to only increase the volume of her moans. “Oh John! Oh my gosh! Again! Right there please!” Taylor moaned out. John hit her spot again and sucked on her neck as he did it, both of them moaned loudly at the pleasure.

“Freddie! I’m about to-“ “Cum? I was gonna do that about five minutes ago darling...” He said breathlessly. “Oh shut up darling! Cum with me before I-!” “Yes! I’m about to- Marina! God yes!” Freddie moaned out loudly as he came undone. Marina wrapped her legs around his waist and arched her back as she met her own end. After they had finally met their ends, Freddie disposed of the condom and laid down next to his wife and grabbed her hand, kissing it as he looked at her. “I love you so much.” He said quietly. “I love you too Fred. Now, if you don’t mind... Mrs. Mercury would like to get her beauty sleep.” Marina said softly as she kissed him and turned out the light. “Oh? Well what if Mr. Mercury wants to wake Mrs. Mercury up in a few hours for a round two?” Freddie teased. “You’re so cheeky Freddie... but you’d better keep your hands above the blanket or Mrs. Mercury will kick you out of bed.” “Ah fuck off.” He said teasingly. “Goodnight Fred.” “Goodnight Mari.” Meanwhile, next door... “Roger! Please let me cum... I’m begging you!” “Not until you say it, Dove!” “No!” “Say it!” Dove couldn’t take this torture anymore. “I’m In Love With My Car was a wonderful song and you’re a genius Roggie!” She finally screamed as he thrust into her. “Now was that so hard to say?” He asked teasingly. “I said it so let’s cum already you wanker!” “Of course my love.” He hit her spot in the last few thrusts before they both came hard. A bit of Roger’s falsetto peeked out when he had his orgasm. Dove cried out hoarsely as she dug her nails into his back. He gathered up the strength to pull out and get rid of the condom before curling up in bed next to her. “So, how did you like it?” He asked as he brushed a strand of sweat drenched blonde hair from her just as sweaty forehead. “I hate you so much.” She muttered. “If you really hated me you wouldn’t have married me.” Roger said with a smirk. “Oh shut up! Go to sleep.” She said as she turned over, only to feel him hug her in bed from behind and hold her close. “Goodnight lovie.” He said softly into her ear before he kissed her and turned the light off. “Brian! Right there!” “There? That spot there?” He asked teasingly as he repeatedly hit the one spot in her he knew would make her a mess. “Oh yes! Brian! I’m going to-!” “Me too!” Brian came into the condom and felt Lana tighten around him as she came. “Oh my gosh! Brian... that was amazing.” Lana said with a huge smile on her face. “Yeah it sure was. Wow! I need some sleep after that one.” Brian joked before chuckling nervously at the thought of what they had just done. He threw the rubber away and turned the light off and got back under the blankets with Lana. “I don’t know why but now I’m embarrassed about what we just did.” Brian said quietly in the dark. “Bri... honey, it’s natural you and I both know that. And why’re you embarrassed? You’ve had sex before.” “I know that and I have but it’s just different... that was our first time as a married couple. I hope I gave you what you’ve probably dreamed about for a long time.” “Bri... you didn’t disappoint me. Actually you exceeded my expectations and sent me to the moon and back, and for that I thank you Mr. May. I love you Brian.” Lana said softly as she curled up and snuggled against him. He grinned and ran a hand through her hair as she leaned against his chest. “Thank you sweetheart, I love you too.” He said before they drifted off to sleep. John and Taylor were the last couple out of the band members to consummate their marriage that night. “John! M-my stomach feels funny!” Taylor cried out as her husband continued thrusting. “Baby that’s good... you’re about to have an orgasm. Relax and let it go.” John panted out as he kept going. Taylor threw her head back, her toes curling as she cried out and let it go. John took his last few thrusts and emptied his seed into the rubber. He disposed of it and collapsed next to Taylor. “John that was... exhilarating. I loved it.” She said. “I’m so glad you loved it baby.” “John... can we do it again?” She said with a smile on her face. John was still trying to catch his breath before turning the light off and looking at Taylor in the dark. “You wanna do it again!? We can but... we need sleep first. We were at it for hours.” He said as his breathing got back to normal. “Okay. Goodnight honey.” “Goodnight.” They kissed and fell asleep against each other almost immediately.

Needless to say, Queen had found the loves of their lives.

Check out the first post here! For the second post, check here! For the previous post, check here! 

This is my final post regarding the Princess of the “リュシオルの姫” series. This time I have imagined her in her wedding dress from Neuro’s drama CD

According to Neuro, he described the princess’s wedding dress as “...a luxurious wedding dress with a long history...”, implying that her wedding dress has been worn by her mother, and the female ancestors of the Vincent family. With that in mind, I made sure to colour the princess’s dress in a white colour with a tint of yellow to make it old and slightly worn. I was also inspired by Queen Victoria’s wedding dress when she married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg who was also her cousin in 1840. Queen Victoria was also commonly credited for starting the tradition of wearing white wedding dresses in the Victorian era. I also noticed that the wedding dresses in the Victorian era were decorated with lace, which is why there are some lace decorations on the top part on the dress as well as the sleeves. For the princess’s wedding dress, I also made sure to splatter blood on both her gloves and near the torso, because she made a crown of thorned roses for Neuro, “...a crown you’ve prepared for me? Ah… Your hands are covered in blood...” and injured her hands in the process. And Neuro thought “...a pure white dress and gloves dyed with blood...” truly represented the princess. I also added Neuro’s name on the left side of her chest area, because Neuro carved his name “...in bloody letters on your pale skin...” as proof that she belongs to him

For the hairstyle, I decided to go with a more casual, but formal style. I really liked this hairstyle adorned on Jenna Coleman for one of her looks in “Victoria”. I adapted the hairstyle for my princess towards a modern look - I only designed her hair to be partially up, to represent her as “overly sensual” just like Queen Victoria’s portrait by Winterhalter. I also decided that my princess will not have a wedding veil, since Neuro said “No… There’s no need for any guests. No one else is going to get in our way. I won’t let anyone get in our way, no matter who they are. This wedding is just for the two of us...”, and the fact that only he is allowed to see her face. It was also because wedding veils are worn by the bride to symbolise their modesty and well-behaved characteristics, which the princess in the “リュシオルの姫” series does not have. Instead, I decorated her hair with white roses, but not like how the French court ladies do it

Last but not least, please do not repost my artwork without my permission! My signature is left on the lower left side of the artwork!

Full Name: Anya Marie Vance née Sparks.  Nickname/Alias: An.  Meaning: "grace”. Title: Mrs. Gender: Female. Orientation: Straight.  Real Age: 24. Birthday: 21 August, 1993.  Astrological Sign: Leo.  Immediate Family: Anya was the eldest daughter and child of Alice and Henry Sparks, a loving couple who were high school sweethearts since meeting on the first day of grade nine. Her mother worked down at the bank on the main street of her small town, while Anya’s father was was a professor of business at a nearby University. Her parents always found time for Anya and her brother Eric (who was five year’s younger), despite how busy their lives were with their respective jobs. Her parents were all that a child could ever hope for; however, tragedy struck when Anya was still young - a drunk driver claiming the lives of her mother, father, and brother in a head-on collision while they were travelling home late one night. As the sole survivor of the collision, Anya’s guardian became her loving maternal grandmother - Sophie Sutton, who continues to be a very important fixture in her life.  Coming of Age: Anya’s coming of age moment was the night she lost her entire family as a result of a drunk driver.  Species: Adult Vampyre.  Preferred Hand: Right handed.  Eye Color: Blue.  Hair Color: Blond.  Hairstyle: Usually keeps her hair down and in it’s natural waves.  Height: 69 inches.  Cup Size: 34C.

Style: It’s hard to classify how she dresses - the main characteristic that most of her clothing shares in common is that it is a dark purple or black; however, ever since she returned from Greece, she has been wearing more and more Grecian inspired dressed.  Posture: Has always had a very strong posture - stands as straight as can be.  Gait: Is known for her quick pace ever since she made the change.  Coordination: Was once known for her clumsiness; however, like other things, this has changed since she became an adult vampyre.  Habits and Mannerisms: Plays with her hair as a nervous habit and when she is intrigued.  Scent: Smells constantly like fresh peonies and lily of the valley.  Current Residence: On the outskirts of Chicago, Illinois on an extensive piece of land in the countryside.  Family: Henry Sparks (father - deceased), Alice Sparks (mother - deceased), Eric Sparks (brother - deceased), Sophie Sutton (grandmother), James Vance (father-in-law), Isabella Vance (mother-in-law), Dimitri Vance (brother-in-law), Maia Vance (sister-in-law) & Alistair Olympus Vance (son).  Friends: Alaric, Dimitri, and Maia Vance.

Trinkets: She does not wear much jewelry except for her wedding ring - that remains the most important material object she owns.  Home: The home that her and Alaric share is incredibly inspired by temples dedicated to Nyx and the locations they visited on Mount Olympus while on their honeymoon - there is plenty of moon imagery. The house is rather large and appears like some what of a castle on the outside with ivy climbing the walls. On the property they own there is a guest house that is currently occupied by her grandmother, a beautiful waterfall, a temple dedicated to Nyx, plenty of gardens, and so much more.  Transportation: When she became a mother, she purchased a black Range Rover for herself - her ‘mom vehicle’ as she calls it.  Collections: You could say she collects objects with moons on them as well as old first editions of novels she loves.  Most valuable possession: Her wedding ring.  Prized Possession: Her family & her beloved pets.  Marital Status: Married to Alaric Vance.  Sex Life: Alaric is the first man she ever slept with and that it how it will remain until the end of time. Before she was marked, she was far too busy with her nose buried in a book to pay the male gaze any attention, but truthfully, she would not ant it any other way due to the strong connection that her and Alaric share which is beyond her wildest dreams. Ever since she met Alaric, her sex-life has been beyond satisfactory - with the exception of the weeks his bloodlust as a red vampyre had forced her to keep a distance. Turn-Ons: Roleplay, being in control and yet also allowing her husband to take control, biting, toys, being filmed, etc.  Occupation: Writer.  Work Ethnic: She works a lot harder than she needs to - if she suddenly gets an idea in her head it is all she truly can think of and she must get it on paper as soon as possible.  Education: Even before she was marked, Anya was always known for being at the top of her class in most of the subjects and that did not change in the slightest when she actually got to the House of Night. Grade: Always found herself with the top mark or top three mark in the class - always strove to be the best that she could be.  Special Education: An Honour Role student.  Social Stereotype: Nerd.  Intelligence: Linguistic & Logical.  Extracurricular Activities: Enjoyed the Arts & yet also played on her school’s soccer team.  Best Memories: The night she met Alaric, the night they first made love, the night they married (first and second time), their honeymoon, when they both completed the change, and of course the night Alistair was born.  Worst Memories: Dealing with Artemis, the night she thought she lost Alaric, and all the nights she spent trying to bring him back.  Hobbies/Interests: Writing (poetry and prose), painting, and reading, Skills/Talents: (Similar to hobbies, but refers to the level of skill a character has.

Let’s know the classic wedding production first!

1. Guest participation type production

As the whole venue gets excited, the blessing mood increases at once, so it seems that many couples can enter more than one these days.

“Wedding Tree” to have guests become witnesses of marriage

“Table round” where the bride and groom greet each table at the reception

“Bridesmaid” that makes the wedding more gorgeous

Bridesmaids are women who stand by the bride at a wedding as a bridesmaid (witness).

Matching dresses and hairstyles are often used by unmarried women who are friends, sisters, or relatives, and it is an important role to add flowers to the bride and make the wedding more exciting.

In Japan, bridesmaids have become established as a production in which the bride’s friends dress in matching clothes.

2. Sideshow production

This is a production that guests often do for two people.

A long time ago, karaoke and speeches were the main focus, but nowadays it seems that the number of people who are surprised to play videos and flash mobs is increasing.

In addition, you can sing the school song of your school, write Ague for the bride and groom, and show the instruction manual.

“Bride and Groom Instruction Manual” where colleagues and friends introduce the bride and groom

3. Video production

Recently, profile movies have become a standard production, and according to a survey by Hina, as many as 76.8% of people answered that they did it.

By the way, recently, the number of ceremonial halls where two or more monitors and screens can be installed in the venue to make arrangements that are easy for guests to see and to produce projection mapping is increasing.

4. Decorative production

Recently, posting to SNS, especially Instagram has become popular, and an increasing number of couples are preparing frames and photo boards for Instagram.

In addition to the reception hall, it is becoming more common to decorate the waiting space, restroom, waiting room, etc.

Item “SNS panel” to enjoy photography

5. Cooking production

As the number of brides and grooms who list food as a key point in choosing a wedding hall is steadily increasing, it may be natural to stick to cooking.

Among them, there seems to be a ceremony hall where you can further raise the expectations of guests for cooking by such a production instead of choosing a dish from a fixed course meal.

“Original cuisine” that includes the birthplace and episodes of the bride and groom

“Chef’s live performance” in the open kitchen and live broadcast

6. Gift-based production

The number of people who are particular about gifts and use “home delivery gifts” that do not have to be taken home has increased considerably.

There are also cases where a surprise present or anniversary plate is prepared for guests who are about to have a birthday or childbirth, or the bride and groom prepare a surprise present for the other party.

A type of gift that will be delivered to the guest’s home at a later date

A gift for home delivery is a type of gift that is not prepared on the day of the wedding and will be delivered to the guest’s home at a later date.

Gifts can be heavy or large depending on the item you choose, and it is difficult for distant guests to take them home or for guests who attend the second party from the wedding ceremony as they are.

In such a case, home delivery gifts are convenient.

Arrangement is easy, just the bride and groom choose the item from the net! In some cases, it is OK to bring in pre-selected items.

You can also give it to your guests.

It is recommended for guests because the burden of carrying gifts is small and the bride and groom have fun choosing.

7. Production of paper items, welcome goods, etc.

Paper items refer to invitations, seating order lists, menu tables, and so on. According to the same survey, 91.4% of the respondents said that the invitation was prepared.

You don’t have to prepare it for a family wedding, but it’s basically a must-have item for a wedding.

Welcome goods are decorations around the reception desk (welcome space) of guests such as welcome boards and welcome bears.

This is the first thing that guests see when they come to the ceremonial hall, so there are many people who are particular about choosing it or making it by hand these days.

“Invitation” to confirm wedding announcement and attendance

“Welcome board” to welcome guests on behalf of two people

Now that you know what kind of wedding production genre you have, let’s take a closer look at the standard wedding productions in line with the general wedding process.

A must-have item for your wedding! Welcome guests with a stylish welcome board

Earlier, I first introduced the genre of wedding production. Here, we will introduce in detail the general flow of an actual wedding ceremony and what kind of standard production is available.

First of all, let’s check the general flow of the day of the wedding ceremony and the standard production according to the time schedule.

Looking at the schedule again, I think I was surprised that the time spent on each was quite tight.

Guests want to cherish the time they spend with the bride and groom. It can be said that it is necessary to keep that in mind when choosing the content and time allocation of the production.

Now, let me introduce the “standard” wedding productions for each scene, including the productions introduced in the schedule.

Classic production at the wedding

Veil down

Veil down is a production in which the mother lowers and sends out the bride’s veil before the wedding.

It is the most popular production for the wedding ceremony, and the result shows that 76.6% of the people performed it.

It expresses the feelings of parents, “We parents have protected you so far, but from today we want you to live a happy life with your loved one.”

Therefore, only the groom, who vowed to love and protect the bride during the wedding, can raise the veil on behalf of her parents.

Original ring pillow

A ring pillow is a thing that keeps a ring until the scene of exchanging the ring at the wedding ceremony. Originally, most of them were square as the name “pillow” suggests, but recently, various decorations and shapes such as three-dimensional ones are increasing.

Ring pillow legend

There is a saying that if you use the ring pillow used at the wedding as the first pillow when two babies are born, the baby will be much happier.

Classic production after the wedding

Flower shower

After the Christian and public ceremonies are over, guests will sprinkle petals on the bride and groom outside the wedding hall or on the virgin road to celebrate.

The scent of flowers purifies the surroundings and protects the bride and groom from demons and disasters.

Fresh flowers or artificial flowers

It depends on the ceremony, whether it can be arranged (or used), but it is best to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of each.

<Characteristics of Fresh flowers >

Fresh flowers have the advantage of being realistic and beautiful in color, giving them a luxurious feel.

<Characteristics of Artificial flowers >

Artificial flowers do not bother you with dirt, and the cost can be kept down, so you can have them throw more. Also, since it is lighter than fresh flowers, it falls slowly, so it will look good in photos.

Bouquet Toss Bouquet Pulls

It is a production in which an unmarried female guest gathers and throws a bouquet from a romantic tradition that a woman who receives a bouquet thrown (tossed) by a flower can become the next bride.

In addition, “Bouquet pulls” is performed when the bouquet cannot be thrown due to the venue (ceiling height and size), or when you want to create a more mature atmosphere.

Most of them are aimed at unmarried women, but there are also people who allow men and children to participate, such as when the number of people is small.

Consideration for guests at Bouquets Pulls

Also, especially in the case of bouquet pulls, because the number of ribbons is fixed, the nominated person often comes out in front, so I felt unpleasant because it seemed that I was single in front of everyone. I often hear people say, so it can be said that consideration is needed.

A classic production before the reception begins

Welcome party

It is done so that guests can enjoy the waiting time before the reception begins. There are no detailed rules, but it seems that it is often done as follows.

Timing to have a welcome party

It is usually done after the wedding and before the reception. (In the case of a reception only, after reception until the reception)

Welcome party time

It seems that it takes 20 to 30 minutes, and it may take up to an hour and a half.

Where to have a welcome party

Depending on the ceremonial hall, it may be held in the welcome space where the reception was held, or in the garden or terrace.

Unique Party Dresses for Style Conscious Women

Formalwear is attire that was designed for a particular occasion.  The history of formal dress began in the Middle Ages with a gown called the kirtle. The kirtle was a loose-fitting dress that was often worn on a weekly basis. But because it was quite plain, women often added a train to it to make it suitable for formal occasions. These gowns were typically worn at weddings or to other religious ceremonies. The world's very first formal gown was the mantua, which was introduced in the early 18th century.  With a thick overskirt, a petticoat, and a long train that was often allowed to trail, the mantua was a heavy and uncomfortable gown.  But because it was the most elaborate dress of its age, it was worn to all the best parties, especially those at Court, in the presence of a monarch. Formalwear for females got evermore elaborate with dresses like the sack-back and the ball gown. It was not until the 19th century that the term evening gown was used to describe a dress that women could actually comfortably wear. These evening gowns ranged from ornate floor-length numbers with flounces and puffy sleeves to off-the shoulder dresses with low necklines and no sleeves.  Even the hemlines rose a bit from floor to ankle length. The greatest leap forward, or backward, depending on your perspective, occurred during the 1920s. It was the age of the flapper and girls just wanted to have fun. They wanted to move and dance and have a good time without being encumbered by heavy, elaborate dresses. Fashion designers were quick to accommodate them with shorter, simpler gowns that used less fabric and fewer layers. In other words, these dresses were lighter and cooler, which meant that women were finally free to move around like men. It was at this time that the arbiter elegantiarum finally accepted party dresses as formalwear. Where are we now? The modern evening gown is available in any silhouette and is generally worn to only the most formal events, such as an opera, a wedding, or a formal dinner. Of course, the evening gown is not the only type of christmas party dresses. As dress codes have been relaxed in recent years, more and more gowns have been accepted as formalwear. It really does depend on the occasion. White Tie A white tie event is the most formal of the formal affairs. Dress codes are strictly enforced and fashion faux pas run rampant. According to etiquette, ball gowns are the only appropriate choice for female guests at a white tie event. But that has changed a bit in recent years. It is now considered permissible to wear a full-length evening gown. However, the gown should be more elaborate than those that are worn to less formal events. Black Tie A black tie event is slightly less formal than a white tie one, but the dress code is still quite rigid. Women are expected to dress in evening gowns with hemlines that fall between the mid-calf and the floor. On some occasions, it is acceptable to wear a fancy cocktail dress, but that really does depend on the time of year and the guests. Cocktail Party A cocktail party is a semi-formal event, which means that women have a wide range of fashion options. For obvious reasons, most girls go with cocktail dresses. What are they? There really is no standard definition. But most designers agree that a cocktail dress has a hemline that ranges from just above the knee all the way down to the ankles. Because they are still considered somewhat formal eveningwear, most women wear longer tea-length (above the ankle) or ballerina length (touching the ankle) gowns. The most famous cocktail dress is the little black dress (LBD). Introduced in the 1920 by fashion legend Coco Chanel, the gown is a versatile and affordable alternative to traditional eveningwear. In other words, it is the ultimate party dress. The beauty of this dress is that is simple and elegant, which makes it easy to dress up or dress down to suit nearly any occasion. With the right shoes, hairstyle and jewelry, a girl can wear a little black dress to a formal affair. She can also remove the ornate accessories and wear it to a casual cocktail or office party. It is no wonder the LBD is considered a fashion staple that every woman must own. Short black dresses with hemlines that fall far above the knees are not considered little black dresses. Because of their length, they are often referred to as miniskirts or simply as minis. They are not nearly as popular as the classic LBD, because they are not nearly as versatile. A miniskirt can only be worn to a casual affair.Most of the world's top dress designers offer party dresses for fashion-conscious women. Find your favorite styles online now.
