[tourettesdog]

DPxDC fanfic recs part 2! (Part 1)

It's a Small World by halfagone

Sometimes you just need a goofy, fun one shot that throws the characters you like into a theme park and this is exactly that. I love it.

Security Guard? Nah, Blackmailed. by Olive_of_Vanders

Oli has a lot of fantastic oneshots, but I think this one might be one of my favorites. I just really love the premise lol; it's great crack.

A Little Overshadowing Never Hurt Anyone by Playedcrowdd5610

I absolutely adore the premise of this one. Overshadowing shenanigans are so much fun, and the specific way it's happening in this fic has all of my attention.

Knitting Connections by Aibhilin

This is such a soft, neat little oneshot. I love the POV for it and just the quiet scenes it paints.

30 Days of Kidnappings by Hyperintrovert

This one's just plain fun and funny, with some nice emotions and angst mixed in. There are so many kidnappings, as the name implies. Shenanigans abound.

Bat Ghost by Megaerakles

Twin fics have a special place in my heart and this is no exception. I love how focused in Amity Park this one is, and the background Superbat is a treat.

Queen Regent by Elizabehta_Beilschmidt

Gil writes a lot of great Jazz (and Hardcover ship) fics, and this one in particular is one of my faves. I might be biased based on the prompt, but I just love how this one is written and how much of a badass Jazz gets to be.

Wait a Second by Toriieffic

Mistaken identities mixed with sibling bonding-- such a great mix always. I love the setup for this fic and how it plays out, especially with Jazz and Damian's situation in particular.

Robin's Egg by Calix

Wonderfully written, adorable, precious-- with lots of emotions and angst along for the ride. I love fics with core shenanigans a lot.

Oh Northstar of Mine by Milaley

This one is so very sweet and tender. Dead tired ship has a special place in my heart and I love the relationship here with it.

Spelunking by SummersSixEcho

This is the first in a series and I think it might've been the first series I read from Summers (or at least the first DPxDC one). I love Danny's interactions with the batfam in this series, the shenanigans, the puns-- it's all so good.

Coffee Trip of Love by EyesOfCrows

This fic is just plain cute and fun. I love all of the pet names throughout it. I need to reread it pronto lol

Blooming Death, Please Love Me by Gremlin_bot

Hanahaki and blood blossoms? Yes please. I love blood blossom fics-- like a lot-- and mixing them with hanahaki trope... yes.

Another Duckin' Day by TheStarfishAlien

A lot of these on this recommend are dead tired ship, but like-- I love them, your honor. This one is just a ton of fun. Love some good pranks.

Wayne's Haunted Mansion by Tathartiel

This is such a sweet deaged/young Danny fic. I love the progression with Danny and the family with this, with the slow build of them earning his trust and figuring out more about him.

Danny Fenton's Guide to Scoring a Boyfriend by DisillusionedDanny

I just love the shenanigans and ship with this one. Enemies to lovers shenanigans abound. Dis has a Ton of great DPxDC fics, and while I haven't had the spoons to read most of their longer ones just yet, I love their stories and everything I have read.

[imagitory]

So! Disney Parks has released a full ride POV of Tiana's Bayou Adventure, formerly Splash Mountain, at Walt Disney World. I will just let you all watch it first, before delving into my personal thoughts. Unless you want spoilers, at which point, go on -- dig a little deeper!

All right, so right off the bat, I have to say this --

I have no nostalgia for the original Splash Mountain. Like, none. At all. I'm much more into Disney parks "classic" rides like Haunted Mansion or Pirates of the Caribbean or story-centric rides like Alice in Wonderland than I am Disney's thrill rides like Space Mountain or Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Splash Mountain was really only fun for me when it was hot enough outside that getting soaked was refreshing, at which point it had such a long line that Single Rider was the only way to not wait in a long line, and I'm the sort to more enjoy thrill rides with other people than by myself, so I really just never indulged in it that much. (In fact, the most prominent time I remember going on it, our boat got stuck on the ramp going up toward the big drop and I had to listen to the vultures right over me crowing about how I was going to die for a solid fifteen minutes.) To top it all off, the Song of the South theming quite frankly made me uncomfortable -- yes, the ride was only ever focused on the animated segments of the film, but it remains the only Disney ride (past or present) that I can think of where the less you know about the ride's characters, origin, and themes, the better. And considering that Tiana is my favorite Disney princess and her movie is only just now starting to get the attention and love it should've had all the way along, I was frankly delighted to hear about this new refurbishment.

So yeah, I'm honestly the sort of Disney fan who was going in with a very sunny outlook about this refurbishment. The animatronics' footage released earlier this year looked great, they got Anika Noni Rose back to sing the ride's new original song...I was hyped. But now that I've seen this...yeah, I won't lie, I am a bit disappointed.

The whole reason you're supposedly on this ride is to help Tiana search the bayou for a band for this big party being hosted in New Orleans. I don't mean to be rude, but...why are we looking in the bayou? Yeah, sure, Louis is from the bayou and he plays the trumpet, but he was the odd one out, remember? He wanted to play jazz with talented human performers, but ended up getting chased off the boat when he first tried. If there were a lot of other animals in the bayou who played jazz, then why would Louis have wanted to become human so much in the first film, before realizing that people could love him as the jazz-playing alligator he was? Not to mention that New Orleans is full to the brim with talented musicians already. If this celebration was maybe being arranged by Louis, that could explain why bayou critters are more involved here, but even that seems a little shaky.

Another thing I really didn't like is how Tiana's husband Naveen is barely in it. Tiana and Naveen as a pair is one of my all-time favorite Disney couples, and I would've loved to hear him and Tiana actually sing a duet here, since they only really ever sang in one song in their original movie together, and that was before the two got together! Tiana's best friend Charlotte is also barely in it despite being one of my favorites, but I thoroughly expected that -- the entire time Tiana and Louis were looking around, I really wanted Naveen there, when the original film really accented how well these three (and Ray) worked as a group. It also could've given us a chance to rewrite/reference "When We're Human," the first time these three performed as a trio.

There was also a good amount of "filler space" in this ride. I mean, at one point, Mama Odie feels the need to shrink us out of nowhere, I guess just to accent that the frogs and the fireflies also like to perform...but well, Tiana was a frog once, and Louis was able to enjoy Ray and the fireflies' music in the original movie without shrinking down. And really, in between the few fully depicted scenes (which don't feature a lot of action or storytelling outside of animals playing music), there are a lot of gaps where nothing's really going on and all we can do is just look at the random plants in a garden or at the various bayou locations. There aren't even any clever story elements slipped into those locations either, like the macabre details about Constance's dead husbands in the Haunted Mansion or Splash Mountain's references to Brer Rabbit, Brer Bear, and Brer Fox's houses and how their appearances and sizes reflect each character.

But my biggest problem with this new ride is its lack of teeth or stakes. If you're going to have this ride with a BIG DROP at the end, that drop has gotta mean something. There should be some real anticipation -- not necessarily fear, but the climb should get your blood pumping, waiting on the edge of your seat. And as much as I wasn't a huge fan of the original Splash Mountain, it did that! Remember, this ride isn't The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure or Snow White's Enchanted Kiss -- this is a ride with a height requirement: in other words, it's geared toward older children and adults. Even Radiator Springs Racers -- another kid-centric thrill ride based on an animated movie -- has you race around in the dark, almost crash, get stopped by the Sheriff for speeding, and get chased by the biggest of those cow tractor things (sorry, I'm not a Cars fan, I don't really care). The child guests who'd be riding Tiana's Bayou Adventure could withstand a little more edge in this ride's story line, even just a little -- and the adults I daresay would've loved to see some reference to the Friends on the Other Side in the mix! (I would've! Dr. Facilier is the best Disney villain from the entire Disney Revival, if you ask me.) It would've allowed the ride to use more music from the film, reuse some of the dark ambience from the original Splash Mountain on that climb, and given us that stronger relief upon reaching the party safely. It also could've better explained us getting shrunk against our will! Maybe while looking for a band for Louis's surprise party with Tiana and Naveen, the Friends decide to corner us and try to keep us from leaving the bayou because they want to devour our shadows or some whatever, and it's ultimately thanks to Mama Odie and Louis that we're able to escape the Friends by taking a "leap of faith" which transports us back to New Orleans with the new band we found at the party Charlotte was helping us plan. Or they could've just based the ride on the bloody movie -- that would've been fun too.

I'm not going to act like this ride is terrible -- I mean, as I said, the animatronics are great, and the overall aesthetic is pretty...and of course, if you're a thrill ride nut, you'll like the drops. But the finished result still feels a little lackluster, compared to other "rethemings" we've been given in the past, like the Incredicoaster, Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission BREAKOUT!, and (if you want to go back further for a smaller budget example) Monster's Inc: Mike and Sulley to the Rescue.

So yeah, um...hopefully people like Tiana's Bayou Adventure better than I do just watching this ride-through, but if even they don't, the Disney parks could always refurbish this baby with some more magic down the road. Until then, though...

"Maybe next time."

Drake POV

This weekend was a special weekend, we both had finally some time off from work and wanted to spend some time together. So I planned a trip to Disneyland for us, surprising her a few days before we leave to Disneyland.

“Oh my god Drake…” she clasped her hands in front of her face as I told her what I was planning for us. “You like it?” She nodded and threw her arms around my shoulders, hugging me tightly. “Yes….i never been to Disneyland.” I snaked my arms around her waist and held her close to me as she started to kiss my neck. “You’re going to love it.” I said softly as I placed a soft kiss on her forehead. “Thank you.” “No thank you darling.”

The days after were a bit chaotic and nerve wrecking for her, she needed to pack her bags and plan everything. “You want to go out shopping?” I asked her as she was packing her suitcase. “I can’t, I still need to pack my suitcase.” She lookup from her suitcase, looking at me with wide eyes. “You can finish that up tonight, come let’s go shopping.” I stretch my hand out for her but she declined it. “No…I can’t Drake, I still need to pack and I need to plan some things for….” She was rambling, her mind was running wild. “Baby, I know but we really need some groceries and I thought you mind wanted some new clothes for this weekend.” Her eyes darted between me and her suitcase. “Okay but for not too long.”

Y/N POV

We finally arrived at our hotel and I was so excited to be here. “Let’s go to our room first.” He suggested as we got our room key. I nodded and hooked my arm around his. We both walked through the hotel till we found our room. “Ladies first.” He gently pushed the door open for me and let me go in first. The room was beautiful with all the Disney details. “Oh my….look at this.” I looked around the room in an awe. “You like this, baby?” He wrapped his arms around me from behind, leaning his head against my shoulder. “Yes, I love it.” I turned around and placed a small kiss on his lips. “Good to hear darling, you want to go to the park?” I nodded and he smiled at me. “Let’s go then.”

We both walked hand in hand through the park, enjoying our time off. “Let’s go in there.” I pointed at space mountain. “Okay. Lead the way.” He smiled softly as I guided us to the entrance of the ride. “I’m so excited, I really love it.” I admitted to him as we joined the waiting line. “I know, it’s cool right?” I nodded as he was smiling brightly. Looking all happy and relaxed, making me feel happy and relaxed too.

After that we went to his favourite spot to get some snacks. “This is one of my favourites.” He handed me over a snack and a drink. “Thank you.” We both sat in silence as we were watching some people that were passing by. “You like it?” I nodded as I had my mouth full. “Good, shall we go to the next ride, perhaps the haunted mansion?” I nodded and stood up, he immediately wrapped his arms around me. “You ready?” “I’m ready.”

The whole day went smooth, we did all the rides we wanted, got some food and Drake showed me his favourite spots. “We should go back, relax a bit and then go back for the fireworks.” He moved his arm around to my shoulder and smiled at me as we both walked back to our hotel room. “We have one hour then we need to head back.” He checked his phone and quickly snapped a picture of me. “Beautiful.”

Drake POV

We relax a bit in our hotel room before heading back to watch the fireworks. “Let’s go over there.” I pointed at an empty spot. She grabbed my hand and held it tightly as I walked us through the crowd. “Perfect, do you want something to eat?” I stopped walking as I found the perfect spot to watch the fireworks. “Yes that would be nice.” I quickly looked at the time and saw I had some time left to get us some snacks. “Okay, I’ll be right back then, stay here.” She nodded and I walked back through the crowd to get us something to eat.

She was making some pictures of the castle as I walked back with some snacks and drinks. “Here you go my love.” She turned around and smiled at me. I handed her some snacks over and took a bite from one of the treats that I had left in my hand. “How long?” “10 minutes.”

After 15 minutes the show was about to start. She was standing in front of me, standing close to me as the night became a little bit chilly. I quickly pulled my jacket off and wrapped it around her shoulders. “Thank you.” She looked back at me with a smile on her face. “No problem.” I gave her a kiss and rubbed softly her shoulders. She looked back at the castle as the music started to play. I rested my head on her shoulder, holding her close to me as the show began.

We both walked hand in hand to our hotel room, she was rambling about the fireworks. “That was so beautiful and the way they used the lights…just wow.” She had a huge smile on her face. “You had a good time today?” She immediately nodded. “Yes! I loved it.” She looked so happy and relaxed, making me feel lucky to have her as my girlfriend.

Y/N POV

We were laying together in bed, my head was resting on his chest as he had his arm wrapped around my shoulder. We were both looking at his phone, looking through the pictures. “Aww that one is cute.” I pointed at a picture of us together with Pooh. He gently gave me a kiss on my head and swiped further through the pictures. “What do you want to do tomorrow?” I asked him while looking at his phone. “I have a reservation for us for dinner tomorrow, but for the rest I haven’t planned anything yet.”

I carefully turned around and looked up at him, feeling the urge to say to him that I love him, that I’m feeling a lot of emotions right now and that he’s the one for me. “I love you.” My voice trembled as tears started to form in my eyes. He moved his hand to my face, caressing me softly. “I love you so much baby.” His eyes became glossy as well. “You make me so happy.” His fingers traveled over my face. “You make me happy too Drake.” He smiled and a few tears rolled down his face. “Ugh I hate crying.” I wiped away his tears as mine started to fall down. “Me too.” I said with a laugh as I pecked his lips. “I love you baby.” “I love you too Drake.”

Freak Trumps King by apatheticBlues

Okay, so not only is Steve Harrington apparently not a douche, but he’s also kind of a mess?

Now that Eddie is properly looking, he notices the slight bags under Steve’s eyes and how his face is drawn, as if he hasn’t been getting enough sleep. That doesn’t make sense– Eddie would think that Steve is living a cushy life, with his mansion and parents that probably pamper him like a goddamned baby. This Steve doesn’t look pampered at all; instead, Eddie can see a familiar haunted look in his eyes that screams he’s just like you.

••• ••• •••

If you looked up the definition of "fucked-up" in the dictionary, Steve Harrington's face would be plastered right next to it. After living through two Upside-Down debacles now, it makes sense. Eddie Munson doesn't know about that, but he does notice how similar he and the former King of Hawkins High really are.

(Set after Season 2)

Open the Door For Me by zbee246

Steve Harrington and Eddie Munson were not friends. Sure, they had defeated Vecna together, but that was about all they had in common. That is until Robin and Eddie started hanging out.

Kickstarted by Eddie and Robin's sudden and seemingly peculiar friendship, Steve embarks on a grueling journey of self-discovery with Eddie Munson at its epicenter.

I was standing/you were there by LikeMmmCookies

“What’s Eddie going to do?” Dustin’s question is followed by a series of “ssshhh" and Robin adding, “Come on man, don’t ask him that, his house is gone.”

“He’s going to stay with me.”

Eddie’s face snaps to Steve when he says that, something unreadable in his eyes. Without really realizing it, Steve wraps his free hand around Eddie’s calf, thumb pressed gently to the back of his knee. “If he’s okay with that,” Steve adds softly, for Eddie alone.

Eddie regards him for a moment before slowly nodding. “He is.”

Steve rescues Eddie from the Upside Down and takes him home for recovery.

No One Listens to the Dead by billynsteve

Steve should have told Robin how he felt the moment she came out to him, drugged up on the floor of the Starcourt bathroom. But he didn't.

Now he's stuck in limbo. No school. Dead-end job, and his secret fling is wanted for murder.

OR

Steve is grappling with the fact that the world is falling apart around him. He is drowning. One night of sharing a joint leads to a second, and a third, and suddenly Steve can breathe. Eddie, the boy he tormented for years, is the air in his lungs. Until he's not. And then the world falls apart again, and Eddie isn't there to save him.

Fresh Start Fever by aryanightshade

Steve Harrington has never known love to go two ways. It's always him giving and everything else taking and taking and taking, and the Upside Down has taken more than anything.

It almost takes Chrissy Cunningham too, when Eddie Munson invites her to his trailer to buy drugs.

She lives.

Everything changes.

-

Or, Steve and Eddie get the chance to fall in love before the world ends (again).

(And again)

Your Name Here by goldenhousesys

Canon rewrite where Steve and Eddie are gayer and eventually get together. Fluff and possibly some angst later on. Also POV switches between Steve and Eddie

The trials and tribulations of thin walls and your nephews annoying friends. by itsNotThatDeep

Robin tries to speculate on Steve's type, Eddie helps, Steve's embarrassed, and Wayne wishes he wasn't along for the ride.

excerpt:

"He?!"

A moment of silence.

"...Steve Harrington. Did you have a relationship with a guy and still not realise you were queer??" Robin demands, and Wayne almost doesn't gawk at her blatantly calling Steve queer. For the second time this evening, his brain helpfully reminds.

"It wasn't a relationship" The older teen weakly defends.

took you for a working boy by pukner

"Do you--Harrington, do you know other gay people?"

"One," Steve says, and then, after a moment, "and a half."

"And a half?" Eddie boggles at him, "What does that mean?"

"He's figuring it out!" says Steve, defensively, "Taking his time, y'know? Whatever, the point is. It's cool you're gay, man."

-

Eddie comes out to Steve, and Steve's heartbroken about it for some reason. Eddie thinks Steve's dating Robin. Everyone else thinks Steve and Eddie have been dating this whole time. Robin doesn't get paid enough for this shit.

Also, Hawkins has been cracked open like a badly-baked cake, and everyone's settled into the most mundane apocalypse possible. Eddie Munson starts a radio programme about it.

Meanwhile, Steve gets his nails painted, and outsources a crisis he isn't having.

Boys Wanna Be Her by ruggedbrilliance

El comes out to the party as non-binary, and Steve has a panic attack about it. But not for the reason you might think.

Now, Steve is dealing with a gender crisis, and also his feelings for a certain metal head.

A Father By Any Other Name by towardthesun

Wayne Munson didn't hate Steve Harrington. He just really, really, really, didn't like him.

A conversation he witnesses between Steve and Dustin might just start to change that though.

Welcome, Foolish Mortals

To be completely fair, that was likely exactly what you expected. But how else is one supposed to open a sideblog dedicated to the Haunted Mansion?

Regardless, welcome, readers. This will serve as a place to catalog my collective thoughts, analyses, writings, and ramblings concerning the Haunted Mansion and Phantom Manor, at the Disney parks across the world.

To many of you who may be following me from other places or who have simply stumbled upon this blog in the vast jungles of the internet, the existence of this page likely raises several questions:

It's a ride at Disneyland, what's the big deal?

Shouldn't you grow up and get a Real Job?

You're one of those insufferable Disney adults who spends $60 on a popcorn bucket from Ebay aren't you.

To answer these to some extent, I am firstly doing this because I think it is fun, I do already have a Real Job, and I have never spent $60 on any piece of merch, popcorn bucket or otherwise.

But it did get me thinking. What is it about the Haunted Mansion in particular that has managed to create a fandom this strong over the past 54 years? On the face of it it's not that big of a deal, and it's not exactly highbrow Art or Literature or Cinema. So why do people keep coming back?

The answer lies, I believe, in what the Mansion is in the first place:

A narrative. Due to its nature as a dark ride, there is an opportunity to present the story in the second person: You, the rider, are exploring an old and reportedly haunted mansion. This setup, especially in an age before technology could create an interactive experience, lends itself especially well to a

A commentary. While the Mansion as a whole is meant as entertainment, it is playing with tropes, questions, and archetypes that reflect the human fascination with life and death.

A magic show. The Mansion was built in an era when computers were still the size of living rooms, so very little of the special effects required them. Instead, the designers of the ride used illusions dating back to the Victorian era (and sometimes even older!) to convince the rider the house is actually haunted.

A historic artifact. Given that the building is (as of today, April 9 2023) 54 years old, it has been around for long enough that it funcions as a time capsule of sorts into what a haunted house looked like in 1969, before further developments in the horror genre during the 1970s and 1980s.

The impression it leaves in the minds of those who enter. The ride itself is only about 9 minutes long - not a long time at all. But the details that are left make one wonder - about backstory, about the history of the place both fictional and real - and those details shared between fellow enthusiasts has over time left the Mansion with the feeling that it is truly haunted, in a way.

Each post in this blog will roughly correspond to these categories, more or less depending on the particular topic. We'll be covering a bit of everything here - history, architecture, special effects, literature, and the list will go on. Updates will probably be weekly - I am still working out exactly how to write everything and make sure you all have quality posts in a timely manner, but that is the plan.

I will also say up front that this blog will assume that you already have a cursory knowledge of the Haunted Mansion as a ride. If you need a refresher, there are several "low-light POV" videos on YouTube of the three Haunted Mansions (Anaheim, Orlando, and Tokyo) currently in operation, as well as of Phantom Manor in Paris. I will do a larger post with a more complete secondary source list later and make sure it is tagged and pinned.

Without further ado, welcome, foolish mortals. I do hope these posts are as fun for you to read as they are for me to write.

[jungleboy-cruise]

I watch these Disneyland POV videos to feel better and I have this one that's a walkthrough plus some rides at Hong Kong Disneyland. There's this ride there called Mystic Mansion it's like their version of Haunted Mansion kinda but it isn't Haunted Mansion! Like Haunted Mansion is like a southern Mansion with proper spooky ghosts. Mystic Mansion is cursed! It's about this old evil white british guy who travels the world and brings home precious artifacts to his British Mansion and this one cursed music box makes all the artifacts vibe to life and they aren't happy. I would KILL to ride this ride I think about it every day.

Chapter 3

Lewis Pepper's pov

I look at the window of the car as I witness the town of Edinburgh, Scotland. For context here: a man by the name of Detective Cecilia Hansley, a divorced wife and a single mother. She wake me up from my coffin in a haunted mansion and explained to me that we are running out of time as there was a cult summoning someone dangerous that might doomed the world so I have no choice but to agree I was going to meet up with the members but unfortunately she received a supernatural case so I got involve in her case

The case is about this ghost that's been going on during night time, it all started when they moved to a house and the ghost killed the owner's dog

"Lewis, wear your human form. I don't want someone saw a ghost riding my car " Cecilia warned me, I secretly rolled my eyes as I disguise myself as a human. I forgot to tell that she is somewhat strict and serious at her job. She has ash brown curly hair, she has brown eyes, she wore a purple shirt, grey jacket, cyan pants, and brown boots

She recruited me back in America in Dallas, Texas and we ride the airport to go to Edinburgh, Scotland. Most of the ride is very quiet as I tried to turn on the radio but I only get slap on the hand by Cecilia

We arrived in Edinburgh for about 3 hours so 3 hours we didn't talk but thankfully that silence is finally over as we finally arrived in Edinburgh to a house that has two floors to it. We got out of the car as we met a woman at the porch who sat down. When the woman spotted us she got up as she greeted us

"Good morning, detective. The name's Charlotte, Charlotte Mendez " The woman whose name is Charlotte greeted us. Cecilia and I shook Charlotte's hand

"My name is Detective Cecilia Hansley and this is my...partner, named Lewis Pepper " She introduces me to Charlotte. Charlotte let us enter the house since it is getting cold

The house has a stairs, the room from the right is the kitchen and the left room is the living room. I peaked my head on the kitchen to find two children eating there breakfast with there phones laying next to them and they were eating pancakes

"Lewis! C'mon, we have work to do " Cecilia calls out my name as I left the kitchen. We went to the living room to where we find Charlotte and another one who is a guy sitting on the couch. Me and Cecilia sat down on the couch as we faced the two, Cecilia grabs her notepad and started her interrogation

"Alright, I received an email from you guys that there's have been supernatural going around your house? " Cecilia ask, Charlotte noded her head then Cecilia ask them another question

"Before we begin our interrogation I just want to ask...what are your names? "

"My name is Charlotte Mendez and this is my big brother Andy Mendez "

"So... Charlotte, since when did you moved into this place? "

"We moved here after my husband died due to a heart condition and he put it in his will that the old house that he used to grew up belongs to me now " Charlotte explained and Andy butt in and said

"Before Charlotte's husband dies we used to lived in an apartment and his parents used to live here but they were both dead now. So, when we read his will we decided to move out of the apartment and move here to start a new life and we have our reasons why we moved here in the first place "

"Ok, what are the reasons? " Cecilia ask as she wrote the statement of Charlotte and Andy on her notepad as Charlotte answered

"We are closer to rent and we are broke so...yeah, that's the only reason why we moved " Charlotte just simply answered that as Cecilia is still taking notes and keep her head from nodding then she moved to another question

"Now, you told me through the email that there are supernatural going around the house. Could you please explain it to us as to how it all started? "

"It all started after 1 week after we moved here and stuff has been going around like: our things just randomly disappeared, chairs that were on the floors, hearing footsteps, and we could hear some tapping on the walls " Andy explained and then Charlotte added

"After those weeks our dog died...it wasn't poison or a heat stroke or anything it was as if someone stab our dog outside of our house. We tried to install some cameras but what we found is just static and stuff " Charlotte explained, I put my fingers on my chin in thought and murmurs

"Someone tampered the cameras " I murmured in which Cecilia glance at me for a second before looking at the siblings then Cecilia moved to another question

"Does this ghost ever hurt you or your family? " She asked in which Charlotte responded

"Well... there are nights that my daughter named Angela everytime told me that someone is touching her. First, it was just the legs until it move to her upper body " Charlotte explained

"We install some cameras on her bedroom and found nothing " Andy added. Cecilia told the siblings that we will be staying here to investigate the ghost as the siblings agreed while they are preparing a room for us me and Cecilia went outside to grab the equipments from her car and there are so many of them

Me and Cecilia didn't waste time as we started equipping the cameras and lights. I encountered the children that I saw in the kitchen there names are Angela and Jane. Cecilia told them to stay in there rooms as we prepared the equipment. Charlotte told us that the room is ready so me and Cecilia went to our guest room to place our bags

The room is just simple. There was a closet, a desk, a window, and a bed. We didn't complain about the bed since we get used to sleep together with our other relatives back then, we didn't think a second as we started to unpack. All I packed is clothes, toothpaste, toothbrush, pens, and notebook while Cecilia packed so many but she kept her stuff in her bag

"Do you think this 'ghost' is somewhat a person?" I ask, breaking the silence. Cecilia look at me with a confused look on her face as she replied

"I don't get it "

"What I mean is that this 'ghost' is not really a ghost it was as if someone is here in the house " I tried to explain to her about my question because judging about the statement that Charlotte and Andy told us it was as if someone is here trying to act as a ghost but my thoughts were interrupted when Cecilia replied to my theory

"I believe you too, Lewis. But... let's find out, if your theory is right we'll arrest it right away " She reassured me as she continues to unpack her things

During the course of the week, it was just investigating about this 'ghost'. The first week is that Angela got herself attacked by the ghost. The second week the ghost walks around the house and I know you guys are confused or wondering as to why I can tell that the ghost is walking around the house it's because... Cecilia place some cameras on the walls to take some pictures of the ghost, the ghost walks in the halls and in the kitchen but the confusing part is that there was no ghost. We interrogate the children but they didn't went to the kitchen nor the hallway. Third week is very scary, the ghost drag Cecilia straight to the basement me and Andy went in there to save her when we got there Andy almost got himself get smack by a hammer but we managed to save Cecilia. On the way to go out of the basement I felt as if someone touched my back

As the 1 week and so many jumpscares later we decide to have a meeting. The children were asleep and today is night time

"How are we gonna catch that ghost? " Charlotte ask, we were so dumbfounded because throughout those weeks we can't catch this ghost but the theory that someone might be here in the house just acting as a invisible man

Cecilia was about to answered Charlotte's question but it went so fast when we heard Angela screamed in her room. They all went there in a panic to find the ghost pulling her both me and Andy helped Angela but I felt the same thing when I helped Cecilia out of the basement it was as if the ghost was there but invisible but it all happened so fast yet again when we heard another scream in Jane's room. We went there and we saw Jane's hair is pulled by the ghost as she was dragging screaming, we rushed to save her but there is a thought inside of me that I should get a paint and splash on the ghost so I hurriedly went behind the house in the garden shed to grab a bucket of paint and then I rushed inside of the house where I could it got worse

So, I didn't waste anymore time as I opened the lid of the white paint. I run towards Jane with a bucket of paint

"GET OUT OF THE WAY! " I yelled, Cecilia, Andy, Angela, and Charlotte backed away as they were told and I splash the paint behind Jane's hair and to my surprise I was right...it wasn't a ghost, it was a man who is invisible. The paint stains the invisible man as he backed away and let go of Jane's hair

We both made eye contact with one another until I shook my head and hit him with the paint causing him to knock out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Alright, so it wasn't a ghost...your theory is correct, Lewis " Cecilia said, taking a sigh. I found out that this guy is part of our team and his name is Hawley Griffin also known as the invisible man. I look behind of the car seat to find him sleeping with ropes surrounding him, I look back at Cecilia and can't help but ask:

"Um...where are we going now? " I ask and Cecilia just simply responded

"Your going to meet the team "

Haunted Mansion On Ride Low Light 4K POV Magic Kingdom Walt Disney World...

[mimizepp]

pov we take anasui to disneyland for a date, how does he react

THIS !!!! i love this concept oh my goodness i need araki to give the stone ocean bbs an ova somehow so i can write this in.. ENJOY !

taking anasui on a date to disneyland

- when you told anasui you were taking him somewhere special for a date he was a tad suspicious because all he wants to do is surprise you, never the other way around. buuut seeing you get excited about this little surprise was pretty damn cute, so anasui decided to indulge himself just this once

- anasui was watching your face closely during the entire ride, trying to discern something, anything from your content expression. while on the highway you passed a billboard for disney’s magic kingdom, and that’s when he knew (he also felt a twinge of deja vu but he wasn’t sure why)

- he gets SO EXCITED and smiley and he’s even happier at the fact that you decided to take him there 

- ‘DISNEY! AHH I FUCKING LOVE DISNEY!!’

- he presses up against the window like a puppy and tries to peek around the hills and see all the rides and fun disney stuff in the park + will turn back towards you and give you the most loving little peck on the cheek and remind you how much your thoughtfulness turns him on (but that’s something for later)

- after you take the time to park and scan your way in the first thing that anasui demands you two do is buy matching mickey mouse ears (he really loves star wars ones or the classic couples’ mickey and minnie ears but will be down for whatever because DISNEY!!!)

- anasui will 100% ask some random person to take pictures of him and you in various poses infront of the cinderella castle + will be very mad if they turn out blurry

- while in the planning stages some days before, you’d already noted of some of his fav characters / movies and got fast passes for every ride and attraction related to them. when he actually thought about all the planning put into this he got a lil emotional and hugged you for a good five minutes while in line to get some dole whip

- HE GOT SO EXCITED WHEN YOU WERE WAITING IN LINE TO MEET STITCH. he fucking loves lilo & stitch with all his heart and you could never imagine him more giddy than he was in that moment. the pictures that were taken are nothing short of adorable + the same thing happened when waiting to meet woody from toy story and tigger from winnie the pooh :,)

- btw he will be purchasing a giant stitch plushie for himself

- anasui gets a little antsy on rides with big drops but he still loves going on them (even more so if you’re also a fan so he can hold your hand the entire time and watch the waves of adrenaline wash over your cute lil face)

- he thinks kiddie rides are the sweetest thing ever but also gets annoyed at all the children on them. you will defo have to remind anasui that the rides are, in fact, for CHILDREN. he’ll be taking loads of selfies on all the rides and will definitely be photoshopping every single child out of existence

- also i feel like he’d love the haunted mansion??? i don’t really know what it is / what’s in it because i’ve never been to disney but i feel like this should be canon for some reason

- our pink bb simp loves stopping in every single gift shop and staring at all the little expensive ass knick knacks in awe (he may or may not ‘borrow’ a few little items to surprise you with when you get home later.. it’s the thought that counts)

- when it’s come time for the parade and fireworks anasui gets a whole new burst of enthusiasm. he holds your hand and jumpily points at every single float that catches his eye or has your favorite characters

- he gets a little sentimental while watching the fireworks and rests his head against yours (PLS let him have a cheesy romantic hug n kiss under the fireworks. he convinced some random guy standing behind you to record this moment so it better be fucking CUTE)

- he honestly has no idea how to thank you for this wonderful little day at disney so he’s extra anasui-y for the next few days

List of wips - aka struggles

Call Me A Jason Todd fic I started two years ago and still go back to poke at longingly, will the second and final chapter ever be posted? Who can know for sure.

-

I tell myself that I don't need Anyone (But the truth is no one needs Me) Another Jason Todd fic I haven't completed, posted two years ago for whumptober, it was the only day of whumptober I participated in, intended to be full of Captain Atom and Jason Todd interacting during the fall out of Bludhaven getting chemo'd but he doesn't show up in the first chapter and have you ever tried to read Infinite Crisis? It's a fucking mess. With this wip I have a close to justifiable excuse in that I refuse to write without knowing the canon, and reading through all the canon that's relevant is A Task.

-

The Monster in The Man A Merlin fic floating around my drafts, currently at a good bit over 5k wherein Merlin gets POSSESSED by an old enchantment gone mad. Written because a Merlin fic I read ended on a horror style cliffhanger and I couldn't handle it so I charged my way through the first 2k of a sequel and I've been adding to it ever since. Angst with a hopefully happy ending, if I ever frikking finish it.

-

The Dragon Lord In the aftermath of his father's death after Merlin inherits his father's dragon lord abilities he notices some minor changes to his interactions with his friends, the thing is that Merlin is a dragon lord and unusually what he hoards is people, things might just turn out the better for it.

-

Maelstrom A Naruto time travel fix it fic that wouldn't leave me alone until I got the first chapter out, ironically it has left me entirely alone since I finished the first chapter and I have no idea if inspiration for it will ever return or when that will be.

-

You Don't Know Anything Long long ago in a land of asks and a time of legend @paradise-runway sent me a fic request for "one where the other Bat boys find out the circumstances of Jason's death and resurrection and their reaction?" it has been lingering in my drafts haunting me ever since, someday, someday I shall fulfill what has been promised.

-

Of Curses and Covenants A longfic exploring the magical underbelly of Gotham's history, focuses on the intertwined relationship of the Wayne Family and the Zatara Family brought about by how often Waynes through the generations have ended up being cursed. I have an index of all the curses ready, the problem with this one is the plot and the story.

-

Vicki Finds a Bat (temporary title) Vicki Vale stumbles upon a still alive young adult Jason Todd at a wafflehouse on the way back from snooping into Cobblepot's latest criminal schemes. Convincing the young man to go back home to his loving father might prove more of a challenge than she thinks however. (will have a happy ending if I ever fucking finish it, for now it looms in my drafts like an unhappy gargoyle)

-

Hug Deficit A fic about Jason being touch starved and his family fixing it, hurt/comfort all the way, post resurrection.

-

Stephanie Brown and The Mansion of Man Pain Robin Era Steph, she and Alfred have pumpkin spice lattes together, it's their thing because I say it is. Includes, Alfred raised 5 boys counting Bruce, he's not sure how to handle a little girl and Bruce trying to dad plus Steph trying her best. Would be a lot easier to write if I was any good at comedy.

-

Another Time, Another Place Some twenty years or so after their death, Martha and Thomas Wayne appear in the middle of Wayne Manor's ground floor parlour room, the major problem with this? Not only are Bruce and Dick away, Alfred's on holiday in England! Which is why Jason as the eldest has been unwillingly nominated by his younger siblings to deal with the situation at hand. Martha and Thomas in this are heavily inspired by @unpretty's amazing portrayals in her fics with them.

- Queen Blackfire and the Lazarus Lord An au with Soulmate identifying marks: Jason Todd was having an okay time as de-facto leader of The Outlaws, a band of misfits and rebels with hearts of gold (or at least silver) saving the world the best they could and filling in the gaps the more straightforward heroes tended to miss while they were at it. Then he found out he was soulmates with the Alien Warrior Queen bent on declaring war on planet Earth if the Justice League didn't find her soulmate for her. Things with his friend, team mate and potential future sister in law Kori just got super awkward and the only good thing he can find about this situation is how angry (and protective? But maybe he's just imagining that) Bruce seems over the whole thing.

Side note: Kommand'r freaked out during the years Jason was 'dead' and accidentally brought peace to a huge chunk of space and intergalactic society via building up her empire after throwing herself into work to escape the grief.

- To Grasp The Hand of a Fox Naruto and Kurama travel back in time to save the world but unfortunately they land in the same moment that Kurama's just been put under a genjutsu by Madara Uchiha, Naruto has to make his way to Konoha and wake Kurama up before the villagers seal him away inside Mito. Can he save his friend in time to save them all?

-

Those Winter Sundays Mcu fic. Snapshots of Tony working hard for the avengers and no one noticing. Civil War Team Iron Man.

- Salvation Rides a Solar Wind Iron Man fic in a Science fiction / Western style fic where Tony's presence is described through the eyes of the aliens he helps. Au where the war with Thanos goes very differently. The type of fic that needs like 5 multi chapter fics in a single series to truly shine, hence why I will likely never finish it.

-

And We Break Away Again Jason goes back to Talia after Damian is brought back from the dead by Bruce. It's not that he begrudges his little brother his resurrection, the opposite, but he can't ignore what Bruce did to him by taking him to the magdala valley and he can't ignore what Bruce doing for Damian what he didn't do for him, (do for Dick, do for any of them besides the blood related one) means. So he decides to go back to the only person who ever seemed to understand why he wanted to avenge himself in the first place, the only person who seemed to agree that he had a right to be angry that he'd died at all, the only person he can trust to hold him together while he feels like he's falling apart that won't judge him against the heroic mold while they're at it. Not sure if this will be a oneshot or a series but we're going good Talia with this one regardless, DC's been ruining her lately but through fanfic all things are possible so fuck them.

-

Fan The Flames In the aftermath of a magical fire taking hold of the Daily Planet in Metropolis, Superman is missing, can Batman and the rest of the Justice League find their friend as well as the identity of the evil arsonist before Lex Luther does it first?

-

In a Whisper (In a Wish) Ichigo Kurosaki protects people, it's not just who he is, it's what he is, down to the core of his very soul. The only problem is, that a few weeks ago he sacrificed half his soul to protect the world. It aches inside where he knows something important used to be. When everyone he cares for is avoiding him and he's starting to feel more like a shadow than a person, that aches at him too and he can't help but wish, quietly, privately, painfully, to himself if no one else that things were different, that he wasn't so broken or so alone. But if wishes were fishes they'd fill a whole sea (just be careful not to whisper them within the hearing range of the Hōgyoku).

-

An Honest Conversation (Is A Bitter Thing To Crave) Jason kidnaps Bruce but things don't go as Bruce expects. First of all the reason Jason was able to kidnap him was because Stephanie of all people was his insider, why would she support someone Batman knows she's only met once. And second of all the reason he's been abducted - So that Jason can drug them both with the same substance. And when Bruce asks what he's doing this for Jason only responds, "We don't trust each other enough to have a truthful conversation otherwise" and refuses to say anything more while they wait for it to kick in. What will be revealed by this forced honest encounter on both sides? -

carrying the world on thin shoulders Midoriya Izuku deserves better from literally all the adults in his life so this is part whump part hurt comfort part fix it fic that sprawls out from time to time but it's pretty bad tbh, at some point I'll probably make it neater and give it something resembling a coherent plot. Hopefully. -

Trust Issues HP fic. Harry gets dosed with a potion that's supposed to reinforce your strongest survival instinct, the person who drugged him might've intended to be helpful but said potion happened to be at extra strength and he was given what would be a normal fix for the regular version but for this one is twice the recommended amount. Great.. The biggest problem about all this - beyond his internationally wanted godfather Sirius endangering himself by hiding out in a cave near Hogsmeade against all rational advice, his best friend Ron hating him, everyone in school besides his other best friend Hermione also hating him or avoiding him and the entire Goblet of Fire problem - is that he can't bring himself to trust anyone enough to tell them what's wrong.

-

Truth is Treason in the Empire of Lies A post marvel avengers story, thor pov probably, made because I like to dive into a pool of thor & loki sibling feels sometimes: Starts off as Thor regales his new human shield brothers with the story of his banishment and return to Asgard ending with Loki falling into the Void and the Avengers have some questions, questions Thor had not thought of, remarks on things that Thor doesn’t know how to explain away.  After he goes to Loki’s cell and asks him some things he becomes more and more angry despite having no one he can punch > Gets drunk and criticises Sif and The Warriors Three after they try to calm him down > mention of Loki still being underage by Aesir standards during Thor 1 seeing as Thor was being crowned due to being of age in the movie > heavy inspiration drawn from queen regnant by peaceheather. “For while the Treason I detest, the Traitor I love still.” Currently just an outline.

-

Separation Split personality disorder Red Hood and Jason Todd, alternatively, Red Hood is a demon/parasite latched on to Jay. A lot of work necessary considering right now it’s currently just an idea inspired by a cool tumblr fanart.

-

A Trinity of Head Wounds The dcu trinity in the aftermath of a fight against some alien invaders (or something along those lines), whump, hurt/comfort, starts with them arguing, ends with them bleeding on each other in a friendship way, whole thing should take place in a single room on the watchtower and be a oneshot so it's gotta be a short and sweet one-two gut punch with the feelings which is difficuuult.

-

A Stark in The Stars an mcu fic, a really over complicated mcu fic, mostly because of Steve Roger's timeline fuckery, Tony's alive but he's not supposed to be, but so are a lot of people who were dead but aren't now you might say what with the snap and the blip. The thing is that Steve's timeline fuckery is making it so that everyone keeps getting confused between the two different timelines of events, obviously more confused the more that their characters were connected to the films/the events that were altered, the punchline of this particular fic though is that Tony's still alive and he's unaware of the timeline of events where he died. And as he's currently in space he's also unaware that everyone on Earth thinks he's dead (because why wouldn't they? he died in endgame after all). That makes this fic super tough to write because like ultimate unreliable narrator right here and not sure how to tie in the whole 'oh wait actually everyone on Earth thinks I'm dead because of the canon timelines' thing in or at what point of the story to do that at. The fuckery of it all gives me a headache. Plot is hard. Also all of that's basically background to the actual focus of most of the fic thus far which is Tony travelling around space in an Iron Man suit up until the point where it won't be background.

-

Magic Chained Merlin au. When you put magic restraining cuffs on Magic himself you don't just bind him you bind all magic the world over. It is therefore, infinitely lucky that Uther Pendragon never became aware of this fact.

-

A Child in The Cold bnha Midoriya deserves better also Recovery Girl and Aizawa have shit to answer for as far as I'm concerned.

[x-s-tech]

@tinkchick555 I've actually only ever ridden the one at disney world but based off of povs I prefer land's ghost galaxy do to both the projections and the fact that there's a stronger story beyond just sight seeing on a flight where there's not much to see

My problem with the ride is other than the facade and a bit of the queue is there's not much too it and isnt very unique like why would I want to go to disney for it when I as a broke tourist could drive two hours and pay less than a fraction of the cost to ride flight of fear at kings island wich is a similar if not superior experience

I enjoy disney parks and go there for the theming and storytelling why on earth would I want waste my time waiting an hour to ride space mountain when the haunted mansion or even seven dwarves mine train is right there

Of Heroes and Thieves

Part 3

Notes/Warnings: shitty written accents and French, swearing here and there. Places I’ve mentioned here are places I’ve actually been and they’re actually AMAZING 10/10 go if you ever get a chance. NOLA is literally my favorite city on earth and I had to force myself to stop writing about it. But any who, I hope you all enjoy this chapter. It’s a decently long one. 

CLINT POV

She’d dropped him off in the French Quarter, right near Jackson Square. “If you go half a block that way,” she pointed, “you’ll get to Cafe Du Monde. Get some coffee and a couple beignets. I’d take you somewhere less touristy, but for obvious reasons I can’t. And from here you’ll be able to find your footing fast. I guess I’m also just assuming you’ve never been here, huh?”

He grinned. “Once, a long time ago. And it was not a vacation.”

“Hence how you know who my famille is, huh?” she guessed, slipping into the accent she’d mostly lost. 

His smile grew. “Yeah, babe. You gonna keep that accent for a while?”

His girl rolled her eyes. “Shut up. I’ll call you when I can. One way or another. I gotta go. Ride’s here,” she nodded toward a tall man leaning against a motorcycle. “I’ll pay for the parking,” she pulled out a twenty and handed it to him. 

With that, he sighed as she walked away after kissing his cheek, watching to see her hug the man and get on the back of his bike. He caught a whiff of fried dough and coffee; time to follow his nose. He needed the distraction anyways. 

The famous beignets were just as delicious as everyone said they were, he had to hand it to them. The coffee was perfect. It was a beautiful evening out as well. He just wished he could be exploring the city with Y/N. He finished the coffee and started heading off in a random direction. The idea came to him to get some souvenirs for both the team and his girl. Something that would scream home to her whenever she missed it. That’s when he found a street artist putting his stuff away for the night. “Are these paintings for sale?”

The man looked up in surprise. “Yes, sir! New to town?”

“Just passing through for the night,” Clint mused, looking at the artwork. One painting of the architecture of the Quarter in particular caught his eye, then the man also had something that showed the rows of graves in one of the cemeteries. A little dark, but quite beautiful. “How much for these two?”

“Thirty for both, sir. Why only here for the night, might I ask?” the man got the paintings together for Clint as he handed the money over. 

“Gir--uh, my friend has some family drama. I’m here for moral support in a way. She sent me to roam around. What’s a good place to eat a quick dinner?”

“Ah, now son, you’re in New Orleans! Everywhere is good to eat! But just around the corner you got a great place for some po’ boys, there’s a few bars on Bourbon Street that have great jambalaya. Whatever you’re in the mood for, there’s something good. You like pizza? Find any of the daiquiri bars. They got deals on the booze and have great pizza. Oh, a burger! Esplanade Avenue, Port Of Call. Best burgers in the city. Cooked however you like to perfection, and you will not regret it.”

“Burger does sound good. Thanks!” 

“Thank you, sir. Have a lovely visit.”

With that, Clint first took a detour to drop the art off at the car, then ventured off for this famous burger. Taking in the sights and sounds of the city on the way, he definitely could see how Y/N was going to be sad to leave. It was a beautiful city and so inviting. When he finally made it to his destination, he was mildly surprised how dark it was inside, but it was true to the old ship theme. He ordered himself a beer and a burger, the menu being only a few items. Once he took a bit, he almost moaned. It was indeed, cooked to perfection. After he left, he decided to follow the music. On the way to the restaurant he’d seen a parade and some street dancers and what appeared to be shows. Time to find one. Maybe he should take one of the haunted tours?

READER POV

She’d missed Remy more than she’d realized and it was a shame that this was one of the last rides she’d ever take with him. The man was like a brother to her her whole life and when her older sister had married his older brother, it only became official. He’d protected her from Julien and Belle’s bullying often enough when they were kids, and she knew he was upset he couldn’t help now. 

“‘M sorry dis is happenin’ ta yo’, Chere,” he said when they parked at the big family mansion. 

She took her helmet off and looked up at him, staring into those sunglasses he always wore in public. “It’s not on you, Rem. It’s on me. I’m the one who chose to get involved.”

“Yo’ really mus’ have it bad for de bird man, non?”

She elbowed him lightly. “That’s entirely none of your business, LeBeau.”

“It’s my business, though!” rang a voice behind them. 

Shock rolled through her body when she turned and saw her big sister, round belly and all the sass in the world. Tears stung at her eyes upon the realization that she wouldn’t be around for the birth of her nephew. “Mercy!” she ran over and hugged the blonde woman. “I’m so sorry, Merc,” she cried into her sister’s shoulder. 

“Hush, sug. Nothin’ ta be done now. We’ll come visit yo’, soon we can. ‘S all gonna be alright, Y/N,” Mercy soothed. 

A cough came from behind Mercy and Y/N looked up to see her brother in law. “Lemme hug you, ‘fore I have ta take yo’ to pere,” he smiled. 

“Missed ya too, Henri. You best be the one responsible for knockin’ up my sister,” she laughed. 

“All night long, Chere,” he laughed.

“Gross,” Y/N wrinkled her nose. She glanced around as the group entered the house. “Where’s Tante Mattie?”

“Righ’ here, chil’!” came a shout. “Ain’t no one r’spect Mattie no mo’. Who tol’ me yo’ were back? Not a soul. Who told me about ev’ryt’in only jus’ dis morn’? Mercy. Chil’ gets slack b’cause she’s givin’ Jean Luc a grandbaby, but wait til she pops,” the old woman shook her head. “Now come here, an’ hug me.”

Y/N obliged, a smile on her face. It really had been too long since she’d been home. And now it was too late to plan future visits. She pulled back and smiled sadly. “Guess I bes’ get this over with. If it is a death sentence, Merc,” tears now rolling down both sister’s faces as they locked eyes, “you better tell my nephew all about me.”

“It won’ be. I tol’ Jean Luc he’d never see his grandbaby if it is.” Y/N laughed, knowing it was a serious, yet idle threat. 

“Take me to your leader, Henri,” she said, jokingly holding out her wrists for cuffs. 

“Stop that,” he rolled his eyes. “Now,” he led her away toward the large room they used for council meetings. “It’s the whole council here, and Marius Boudreaux is here to make sure the sentence is actually given,” he frowned. 

She nodded. “Wouldn’t expect any less, truth be told.”

He nodded before opening the doors, and gesturing for her to enter first. 

“Y/N, Chere, I really wish yo’ were home under better circumstances,” Jean Luc greeted sadly. “All de same, nice t’ see yo’.”

“You too, Jean Luc,” she glanced around at the council members. “May I say, I am sorry for the trouble my actions have caused?”

“Yo’ ain’ sorry for yo’ actions though, are yo’?” Marius spoke up from the side of the room, standing up straight. “Gettin’ involved in things dat don’ concern you. Bes’ we can say is leas’ you were alone.”

The statement shocked her. They didn’t know she’d led the Avengers to the warehouse. How did they not know? Julien must have left as soon as he knocked her out. 

“I’ve been working long enough I know better not to get involved in Assassin business. I just couldn’t resist some action, I suppose. I’m sorry,” Y/N lied through her teeth. She was a good liar though and could only hope Marius was slipping in his age. She knew Jean Luc could see right through her, however. 

Marius scoffed. “Yo’ always were a hothead.” He leaned against the wall once more. “Le’s get dis over wit’.”

Jean Luc nodded. “We decided yo’ punishment is yo’ done t’ievin’. Fo’ de Guild, leas’. And,” he glanced at Marius, who nodded once. “Yo’ officially b’trot’ed t’ Julien Boudreaux.”

[soulnottainted]

I'm rEALLY missing going to theme parks right now and it's so hard not to think about them! I had planned to go to Universal Orlando for their Horror Nights event but that of course got canceled.

But my tickets are being honored, so hopefully later this year I can go!

But in the mEANTIME I'm watching videos of Galaxy's Edge and POV ride videos to soothe my soul.

Not to mention my sister got me some haunted mansion mickey mouse ears for Xmas..
