matt sturniolo x reader
warnings: nothing but fluff
preview: Matt and his friends were seniors in high school, they decided to play a game of kiss, marry, kill in class. when it was Matt’s turn, his friend adds you in the mix. he never quite noticed you before and when he did, he was intrigued. you were two opposites. he ended up passing notes to you in class. you never expected the outcome from all of this.
a/n: this is a long one but, I loved writing it. I saw someone on here ask to write a fic based off so high school. which, I attempted to do! this is my take of how I pictured it in my head. I forgot who it was who posted about it but if you’re the person, here’s my version! - L 🤍
it was almost the end of the school day, Matt was sat down at a table full of his friends. it was technically a free period since testing was held today. "let's play a game." his close friend Nate suggests. "what kind of game?" Chris asks curiously. "kiss marry kill." Nate responds with a grin. it caught Matt's attention, speaking up, "that's a childish game." the group laughs before Nate speaks up again, "well we have nothing better to do." the group looks at Matt, "what do you say? you in?" Nate adds on. "I guess i'll participate." Matt says fixing his posture. "okay who will start?" Nick joins in.
after a few rounds, the boys were laughing from the answers that had passed. it was finally Matt's turn, Chris ended up giving him the options, "okay let's see..." he says looking around the class, "Chloe, Madison, and..." he continues looking and lands his eyes on a girl resting her head on her palm as she read a book, "her I guess." Chris adds on. Matt looks at the girl and tilts his head a bit, "what's her name?" he asks.
"I think it's Y/n." Nick responds looking at you. you lift your head a bit from the sound of your name being said, "Nick, you're too loud." Chris whispers. you just ignored it and continued to read the book in front of you. Matt starts to play the game as he chose you to kill, "I only put her in that spot because I don't know her." he explains. the bell rings and everyone started to get up, including you. you shut your book and placed it in your back pack. Matt got up taking glances at you. you were wearing a white cardigan with jeans. your hair was half way up and half way down. you zipped up your back pack and put it on one of your shoulders only.
before you walk out, you catch a glimpse of Matt's gaze and you smile a bit at him, which he does back, then you walk out. Matt then picked up his back pack and put it on heading out as well. he walked to his car with his brothers and got in buckling up. "you guys don't know anything else about that Y/n girl?" Matt asks causing Nick to raise an eyebrow, "no, why?" he questions while Chris looks at Matt curious as well. "nothing I was just wondering. I thought I knew everyone in that class." he says starting the car. "she just keeps to herself that's why. no one wants to bother her I guess." Nick says. Matt just nods and drives out from the school parking lot.
the next day, your eyes were focused on your computer as you did the assignment for today. Matt was still curious about you, from yesterday's small smiles at each other, he wanted to take the opportunity to get to know you. he took out his notebook and a pencil as he started to write. after he was done, he ripped it out from the notebook and folded it. "hey." he says tapping the girl in front of him, "can you pass it to her?" Matt says looking at you. the girl he asked was behind you. she nods and takes the note, tapping your shoulder. you turn around and look at the folded paper. "it's from Matt." she whispers using her thumb to point behind her. you take the note and turn back around to open it.
'hey, I know you don't know me but, I also don't know you so, I was wondering if you wanted to get to know each other? I found it odd that I know everyone else in here except for you.' - Matt
you smile a bit from the note and pick up your pencil writing back. you handed it back to the girl and she passed it back to Matt.
'hi i'm Y/n. that's really out of the blue but, sure. i'd like to get to know you. also, yeah I get that a lot.' - Y/n
Matt smiles and writes back explaining how he even found out about you. you guys were passing notes the whole class which, the girl in between you ended up switching seats with Matt so he could pass the notes himself.
'so I was apart of your kiss marry kill?' - Y/n
'yeah but don't worry, my choice for you was not personal.' - Matt
you giggle softly to yourself. the bell ended up ringing and you guys left it off at that. you packed your stuff and turned around to give him the same soft smile from yesterday before walking out. for the rest of the day, Matt could not stop thinking about you. "what's on your mind?" Nick asks him. "oh nothing." Matt responds smiling. Chris and Nick just look at each other in a weird way.
*time skip*
the weekend was finally over and Matt couldn't already wait to get to his last class. when the time comes, he was about to sit down behind you but the teacher stops him. "Matt." Mrs. Dean speaks up causing the boy to stop in his tracks and turn around, "yes?" he asks. "we need to talk about your grade in this class. I heard you aren't doing so well in other classes as well?" she says pulling up his grades. you couldn't help but have the conversation catch your attention as you unzipped your back pack. "Matt, you have to raise these grades or else you'll be suspended from the lacrosse game in a month." the teacher says making Matt's eyes widen, "what? how could I raise my grades that quickly?" he asks. "I don't know Matt but it's possible. you have to really put in the work." she says. Matt just sighs and nods, going to sit at his desk. as time goes by, you turn around and place a note in front of him which makes him look at you and smile a bit.
'I can help you raise your grades if you'd like.' - Y/n
he smiles even more reading it. he immediately writes back taking you on the offer.
'if it's not too much of a hassle, i'd gladly accept your help.' - Matt
'well I did come up with the idea so, it wont be a hassle.' - Y/n
'can I get your number?' - Matt
you ended up writing down your phone number and he thanks you in his actual voice. he started to realize, he hasn't heard your voice, so when you spoke up to say 'you're welcome', he felt his heart start to race a bit. your voice was soft and comforting in a way. even though you only said two words to him.
the next day, you and Matt meet up at one of the picnic tables in the courtyard. "hey." Matt says with a smile walking up to sit in front of you. you smile back, "hi Matt." you greet him. "I'm going to warn you right now, I have a bunch of missing assignments." he says opening his back pack. you let out a soft laugh, "that's fine. you have a month to get it all done. plus, you have extra hands to help you." you reassure him. he smiles and nods, "thank you again." he says pulling out the pile of papers he had inside his back pack. your eyes widen a bit and laugh a bit, "don't thank me yet. we haven't started." you respond while looking at the stack. you both laugh at the same time.
you two have been tackling his missing work for a few days now until one day, he tells you something, "Y/n?" you look up at him and respond, "yes?" "I still want to get to know you better." he says making you look at him with a smile, "well..." you start off, putting your pencil down, "what do you want to know?" he puts down his pencil as well before he speaks, "just tell me stuff that makes you, well you." you laugh a bit before nodding, "well I barely moved to Massachusetts the beginning of senior year, i'm an only child, I enjoy reading in my free time, and let's see..." you pause for a bit. Matt was just sitting there, very drawn to you as you speak. "I don't really know what else I could say." you say with a soft laugh. Matt joins in laughing before he speaks, "I guess I just have to spend more time with you to get more from you." you smile nervously and look away, "well, let's focus on getting this work done." Matt adds on which you agree to.
since you began to help Matt, his friends have been wondering why he's been distant. he was constantly with you and he never told his friends about you. as you guys sat there, his group of friends walk over and tease him, "what is this?" Nate asks with a foolish smile. Matt rolls his eyes and looks at the group, "what are you guys doing here?" he asks. "the question is, what are you doing here? with..." Nate looks at you, "Y/n right?" Nate asks. you nod in silence feeling awkward, "Y/n is helping me complete my missing assignments so I could raise my grades. if I don't raise them, I won't be able to play the lacrosse game coming up." Matt says. Chris widens his eyes, "what? why didn't you tell us?" he asks. "you guys weren't going to be able to help me so Y/n offered." Matt responds looking at you.
"you still could've told us." Nick says before looking at you, "I'm Nick by the way." you smile and greet him back, "nice to meet you." "are you sure you guys are only studying? I mean Matt talks about y-." Chris was cut off by Matt, "okay guys. me and Y/n still have lots to do." the group of boys nod and say their goodbyes, walking away. Matt shakes his head and focuses his eyes on the text book in front of him. you look at him and laugh, "you talk about me?" you ask. he looks up and takes a tiny gulp, "he was just teasing us." Matt tries to cover up from the truth. you just nod, "okay I believe you." you say looking back down with a smile.
*time skip*
you and Matt were at the usual picnic table at school as you both stood in front of the computer. it's been two weeks since you started to help him. you both stood there waiting for his grades to update. it took a lot of work but, hopefully it was worth it. you and Matt stare at the screen as he clicked refresh one more time. "Y/n!" he says standing up straight. you looked at the screen to see his grades now passing with A's and B's. you turn to look at him and your mouth was open a bit from shock, "you did it Matt!" you exclaim happily. "no, we did it Y/n." he says with a smile hugging you suddenly. your eyes widen a bit but you hugged back slowly, "thank you Y/n." he whispers still embracing you. "you're welcome Matt." you reply as you both pull away. you both stand there now nervously laughing. "let's go show Mrs. Dean." you suggest. the boy nods and you both pack your stuff and walk to her classroom.
the next day, Matt kept bugging you in class with the notes he's been writing.
'Y/n tell me how I can repay you. seriously!' - Matt
'I don't need to be repaid Matt. it was me who offered to help in the first place. i'm just glad I helped you.' - Y/n
'how about I take you to the drive in?' - Matt
your eyes widen a bit from the question. you’ve never been asked to go anywhere especially with a boy. alone. you hover your pencil over the paper as you think about what to say.
‘i’ve never been to the drive in.’ - Y/n
‘well then you’re about to :)’ - Matt
you look back at him and he smiles making you smile as well.
*time skip*
Y/n’s POV
“dad i’ll be back before 9 pm I promise.” I say putting on small hoop earrings. my dad has never been in this situation before, well neither have I, so this was all new for the both of us. “honey, let her finish getting ready.” my mom joins in with a small laugh. “who even is this boy Y/n?” my dad asks curiously. “he’s just a boy from school that I helped out. now, he said he wants to repay me that’s all.” I say putting on chapstick. “do you like this boy?” my mom asks. “yes.” I say bluntly but realize it came off the other way, “as a friend!” I add on. my mom laughs and nods, “okay sweet heart. I’ll get your dad out of your hair.” she says dragging my dad out the room with her.
I look at myself in the mirror and touch up anything that doesn’t look right. my phone suddenly buzzes. I pick it up to see a text from Matt. it was him letting me know he was outside. I get up and put on my shoes, heading out my bedroom and to the front door until I got stopped by my dad. “hold on Y/n.” he says getting up from the couch. “dad please. I have to go.” I say but he walks up to me and opens the door. he takes a look at Matt through his car window. Matt gets out the car and walks up to the door. “hello sir.” Matt says with a smile. “what’s up kid. where are you taking my daughter?” my dad asks. “i’m just taking her to the drive in. it’s to repay her for helping me play this weekend’s game.” Matt says. “you play a sport?” my dad asks now intrigued.
“I play lacrosse.” Matt says with a soft laugh. “that’s awesome. well, you two enjoy the movie. be safe most importantly.” my dad says patting Matt’s shoulder. “thank you dad. bye.” I say walking to Matt’s car. we both get inside and I look at him, “i’m so sorry about him.” I apologize. he laughs softly and starts the car, “why are you saying sorry? it went great.” he reassures me. “I just didn’t think you guys would meet. I mean, he’s never met anyone else before.” I say. he looks at me, “wait, i’m the first guy he’s ever met?” he asks with a slight shocked expression. “yeah…” I say quietly. “is that a problem?” I add on. he smiles and chuckles, “no! i’m just surprised.” he says as he starts to drive off. “what’s so surprising?” I question keeping my eyes on the road.
“I thought a bunch of guys would’ve taken you out by now.” he says. I stay silent for a bit, what is that supposed to mean? “I don’t talk to guys like that.” I utter. “looks like i’m special.” Matt smiles from his words. I just shake my head playfully, “I guess so.” I laugh a bit.
End of Y/n’s POV
later on, you both were sitting there in the car as the movie played on the big screen. Matt wasn’t paying attention that much because all he could focus on was how nervous he was being right next to you. to be completely honest, he hasn’t taken out a girl before. he only cared about his friends and sports so he didn’t think he would have anytime for a relationship but, he just shook off the thoughts. he was just repaying you right? towards the end of the movie, you notice him glancing at you and you caught his eyes. you both sat there as you stared at each other while the movie played through the radio. Matt started to move his eyes to your lips, making you gulp. you two started to lean in slowly but stopped once you guys heard the car next to you start its engine.
you both move away from each other and laugh nervously. the drive home was painfully awkward. when you got home, you laid in bed and buried your face in your pillow. all you could think about now was, what if you guys kissed?
*time skip*
a few days pass, you could not get Matt off your mind. you knew he was the sweetest boy you’ve ever met. you just didn’t know what to do with these feelings. besides that near kiss, nothing else happened after. he did invite you to his lacrosse practice later after school.
‘come on. you can watch me practice and try to understand the game.’ - Matt
you stared at the note and thought about what to say. you had the same hesitation from when he asked you to go to the drive in. you gulp and start to write a response.
‘okay fine. i’ll come.’ - Y/n
the bell rings and he stands up grabbing his stuff, shortly after he grabs your hand walking out the classroom. you follow him as you look at the way your fingers entwined. you felt your cheeks turn pink from the gesture. you soon made it out to the grass field. he lets go of your hand and looks at you, “I got to put on my uniform but look out for number four okay?” he says smiling. you nod and smile back as he walks away.
you make your way up onto the bleachers as you sit down away from some people. when all the boys head out on the field, you immediately spot Matt in his number four jersey. you smile and see him point his stick at you which makes you giggle quietly. “hey Y/n.” you turn to see Nick join right next to you. “hi. you don’t play?” you ask. he shakes his head, “absolutely not. I cried and quit the first time I played.” you both laugh at his words.
as the boys started to practice, Nick started to explain the game to you. you were starting to understand the concept and how points work. by the time they finished, Nick claimed you as a pro. “you learn quickly!” he exclaims with a smile. “well, I did help him study. only fair for me to study the game.” you say laughing.
when you arrived home that day, you couldn’t stop thinking about him still. you sat on your bed as you started to think of ways to support him at the game tomorrow. you had the perfect idea.
*time skip*
you look at yourself in the school bathroom mirror as you smile. today was the day Matt has been anticipating. he was still thanking you all day that he gets to play today. which you kept repeatedly telling him to stop.
Matt
wish me luck today! I hope to hear you in the stands.
you smile at the text and reply.
Y/n
good luck Matt. also, I don’t know about that.
you head out the bathroom and make your way out to the bleachers. you wanted to be close to the front so Nick saved you a seat. “thank you for giving me one of his jerseys.” you say to Nick. “of course! he’s going to love seeing you in it.” he responds. you and Nick engage in conversation as he tells you child hood stories about the three of them. you two were laughing and getting along. “i’m so glad Matt started talking to you. I feel like none of us wanted to reach out to you because we thought you didn’t want anybody bothering you.” Nick lets out making you laugh softly.
you hear a person through the speakers introduce the team and you instantly switch your attention towards the field. the team runs out onto the field and everybody starts to cheer, including you.
Matt’s POV
when me and my team run out onto the field, I instantly search for Y/n in the stands. when I finally see her, I couldn’t help but notice her shirt. it was my jersey. it looked a little big on her and I laughed to myself. she looked amazing. I pointed my lacrosse stick at her and she just gave thumbs up with a smile. I definitely need to do good for her.
End of Matt’s POV
during the game, you were so focused on Matt that you started to realize how good he was. he was absolutely crushing everyone on the opposite team. it was down to the final countdown. you were at the edge of your seat with Nick as you guys watch Matt with the ball, he starts to run and push past the opponents as he throws the ball straight to the net, making the final goal. everybody stands up and cheer as you and Nick jump up and down. “let’s go Matt!” you yell out. you were so caught up in the moment you didn’t realize you really put yourself out there cheering for him. Matt takes off his helmet and runs towards the stands. you walk down the bleachers as he drops the stick and helmet onto the ground. you embrace him in a hug as he wraps his arms around your waist, picking you up slightly.
“good job Matt!” you exclaim happily. “I couldn’t do it without you.” he says. it made your heart melt but you were also confused, “what do you mean?” you say pulling away smiling. “I was thinking about you the whole time. it was my motivation.” he says smiling. your heart started to beat fast. “Matt… that’s so sweet…” you say. he scratches the back of his neck shyly, “yeah…” he says. it was the same awkward feeling from the car ride home back from the drive in. “let me go change into my actual clothes and i’ll meet up with you in the parking lot okay?” he says. you nod and smile.
later on, you were standing in the parking lot as you waited. he eventually came out from the school building and greets you with a smile. you just stood there still feeling awkward. your feelings for him were growing stronger and you couldn’t take it anymore. “nice jersey by the way.” he says opening his trunk with a smile. “thank you very much.” you smile a bit. you watched him put his equipment in his trunk as he noticed your body language. “is something bothering you?” he asks shutting the trunk.
Y/n’s POV
my heart was racing. how do I tell him how I feel? “Y/n?” he speaks up looking at me with concern. “Matt… I don’t know how to put this into words.” I say quietly. he leans back on the car as he responds, “it’s okay. take your time.” I stand there and look away with a nervous laugh before looking back at him, “well… i’ve been feeling a certain way lately. ever since I met you, I knew there was something different about you. I mean you went out of your way to talk to me when no one else would.” I pause for a moment, I can’t believe i’m doing this, “remember when you said you’re special and I said I guess? well, it’s not I guess. it’s yes, you are special. i’m sorry if this is too much.” I stop myself. “no keep going.” he says with a reassuring smile. I let out a breath, “what i’m trying to say is…” I stop looking at my feet nervously before looking back up at him, “no one’s ever had me… not like you. like today, I didn’t even know I could cheer that loud. when we aren’t together, I constantly think about you and when I lay there, I can’t help but wonder if you feel the same.” I say.
he stands up straight getting off the car. “that’s actually crazy.” he says catching me off guard. “what?” I ask stunned. he laughs nervously before talking, “i’ve been feeling the same way Y/n. like I said earlier, you were my motivation the whole game. when we first started talking, I already felt like my heart was going to beat out my chest. when we went to the drive in, I should’ve just told you then. I was having these thoughts ever since. every day, I look forward to seeing you. that has never happened to me before. I feel the same way Y/n.” he says making me feel much more at ease. “you really mean that?” I ask with a slight smile. “of course I do Y/n.” he says grabbing my hands softly, interlocking them.
End of Y/n’s POV
“so what now Matt?” you ask looking into his eyes. “what do you think?” he asks with a smile. you stayed quiet for a bit before asking him a question, “are you gonna marry kiss or kill me?” he smiles at the familiar question, “for now, I think i’ll go with kiss.” he says pulling you in by your intertwined hands, unlocking them, placing his hands on your face kissing you softly. you place your arms around his neck as you tip toe yourself up to reach him better. he moves his hands down, wrapping his arms around your lower waist as he picks you up slightly, without breaking the kiss. you never would’ve imagined high school being like this. finally finding a boy who you knew you could give yourself to. you both continue to kiss, smiling in between kisses and eventually pulling away. you both had your foreheads touching as you both laughed softly in each other’s arms.

"Chris, Y/n just posted a video!" Nick shouted from the living room.
Chris rushed out of his room and plopped down on the couch next to his brothers.
"She's got you hooked," Matt laughed, setting his phone aside and focusing on the living room TV, paused with your video.
You had a channel with your friends, creating videos similar to those of the triplets. Your channel had almost 5 million followers, making you quite famous, and your fans loved you.
"Quiet down, Nick, hit play," Chris said, his gaze fixed on the TV.
Nick chuckled and played the video; there you were on the screen with your two friends.
"Rock, paper, scissors," you said after a while of chatting.
"No way," you laughed, having drawn paper and your friends scissors. "Looks like I'll be the blindfolded one."
The video continued, Chris keeping his eyes on you. Despite not knowing you in person or whether you were aware of his existence, he had a major crush on you.
"I'd love to meet her in person," Chris murmured, earning curious looks from his brothers.
"We already know, every time you watch one of her videos, you say that," Nick rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to the screen.
"Y/n!" Daniela shouted, approaching you and pulling you away from the kitchen island.
"I need a piece of paper, can you guys give me a piece of paper?" You asked, turning your head both ways, expecting a response that didn't take long to come.
You felt someone put their hands on your shoulders and move you. "You need to wash your whole body," Sophie said.
"Oh, that reminds me of Nick," you said as Sophie led you to the kitchen sink.
"Nick?" Sophie asked.
Daniela grabbed the camera and brought it closer to you both, recording as Sophie washed your hands.
"Yeah, Nick Sturniolo, from Sturniolo Triplets, don't you know him?"
Nick and Matt exchanged glances, waiting for Chris to react (which didn't take long), him jumping up from the couch.
"She knows you, she knows us!" Chris celebrated with a smile on his face.
"Yeah, Chris, she knows us. Sit down and watch the video," Matt laughed, grabbing him by the arm to get him to sit back on the couch.
Nick took the remote again and pressed play.
"No, I don't know who they are," Sophie replied, turning off the tap.
"You should watch their videos; they're very funny," you said while drying your hands with a piece of paper.
Daniela put the camera back in place when Sophie and you approached the island to continue with the brownie.
"I know them; what about you, Y/n? Are you a Chris girl, Matt girl, or Nick girl?" Daniela asked, appearing on camera again.
"Chris girl, definitely."
Chris looked at his excited brothers; they laughed at his exaggerated reaction.
"I've never been so excited because a girl said she's a Chris girl," he nervously laughed, running a hand through his hair.

"I don't understand why you guys drag me out of bed so early to go play hockey," Chris complained, rubbing his eyes.
"Can you stop complaining?! That's all you ever do," Nick complained this time, causing his brothers to laugh.
Matt started the car and began driving towards the hockey rink.
Minutes later, Chris furrowed his brow in confusion as he looked out the window.
"This isn't the way," he said confused.
"The road is closed," Nick replied.
Chris shook his head and took his phone out of his pocket to go on Instagram.
"Leave the phone and move your butt," Nick said, getting out of the car and grabbing his backpack.
Chris and Matt followed suit and entered the facility. They passed the locker rooms before entering the rink.
"Who in their right mind comes to skate at eight in the morning?" Chris complained, walking through the hallways to get to the rink.
"You're such a pain," Nick made a face.
The triplets stepped onto the rink, finding three girls on the ice, one brunette and the other two blondes.
"Hey!" Nick greeted, getting onto the rink already with skates on.
Chris looked at Matt confused, who didn't say anything, just smiled.
Seconds later, Chris and Matt were approaching those girls who had their backs to them, although, truth be told, they looked quite familiar.
"Look, they're coming this way," Nick said, making the girls turn to look at them.
Chris's eyes widened in surprise when his eyes met yours.
"I had thought about doing a collaboration between the two channels." Nick continued. "You already know each other, so I don't see it necessary to introduce you."
Later, you started skating, and Chris fell behind, so you decided to join him.
"Hello," you greeted kindly, skating up to his side.
Chris turned his head to look at you and smiled.
"Hey," was all he managed to say.
"Nick told me you like our videos," you said, still smiling.
"Yeah, well, I always laugh," he said, nervously running a hand through his hair.
"I like your videos too; I laugh a lot as well."
You noticed Chris blushing slightly, but he turned his head to avoid you noticing – although you did – and smiled.
After a few seconds in silence, he finally gathered the courage to speak, even without looking at you.
"Could I get your number? For the collaboration and all, I mean."
You laughed slightly and looked at him.
“I'll give it to you now," you said, grabbing his hand to pull him off the rink.
Chris rummaged through his backpack for his phone, and when he finally found it, he handed it to you for you to enter your number.
"Do you mind if I text you not just for the collaboration? I really like you, and I think... we could be friends," he said, running his hand through his hair again as he looked at you while you typed on his phone.
"Sure" you smiled and handed him back the phone.
Chris took the phone and put it back in his backpack as best he could since he was nervous.
"Come on, let's go back to the rink" you said, grabbing his hand again to lead him back to the rink.
He didn't refuse, and you could see his smile again with a slight blush on his cheeks.

Saw the open tag from @taste-thewaste on this! This took me down memory lane a bit 🥲
How many works do you have on ao3?
61
What's your total ao3 word count?
138,797
What fandoms do you write for?
Red, White & Royal Blue mostly but I'm happy to write Heartstopper and og Skam.
I've written for Riverdale, Teen Wolf, Skam France, Wtfock, Druck, Skam Italia & Shadowhunters in the past.
Top five fics by kudos:
Digital Love Letters (RWRB)
i try hard to get back inside your arms alive (RWRB) - and particularly insane as I posted this last week! 🥰)
Right Kind of Wrong (Riverdale)
your heart is your masterpiece (RWRB)
a frightening magic I cling to (RWRB)
Do you respond to comments?
Yes! They make my day, I screenshot my faves. I also love when someone finds a fic that has lots of chapters & I get a flurry of comments 🤌🏻
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Tricky, I don't usually finish on angst. Echo (Wtfock) follows on from a very horrendous part of the show or Season 5 - Magnus (Skam) never got finished so it's been left in the midst of angst.
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Most of them end on a happy note but Love, Henry (RWRB) is probably the happiest.
Do you get hate on fics?
I think there was a little back when I started in Riverdale but I think it more anger on their part for a topic I could have written more sensibly I suppose? I've had critique on fics now but never hate.
Do you write smut?
I've written it one time years ago & it felt weird. I loooove writing foreplay though! But I've not ventured into smut in my current fandoms. That might be something I do though, my bigender Alex fic might go into that if there's sequel.
Craziest crossover:
I've only done one and it was a Riverdale meets Teen Wolf, it was a Christmas special and they had to help reunite Santa with his reindeer. While I haven't watched Riverdale for ages, I'm still really proud of that fic!
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
No, thankfully!
Have you ever had a fic translated?
No, I'd love that though 😄
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No but I'd absolutely love to collab this year, in the RWRB fandom in particular y'all are so talented 🥲
All time favorite ship?
Firstprince (RWRB) probably. Wilmon (Young Royals) is a close second atm, I'd love to write some YR fics soon. I'm still a massive Yousana (Skam) and Davenzi (Druck) shipper too. Oh and Nathan/Annalise/Gabriel (TBSATDH) - can't remember the ship name! That show got cancelled too soon & it was basically like a fix it for the books.
What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I have a Teen Wolf reader insert fic with a pregnancy story line that I left on a huge cliffhanger but frustrates me but not enough to motivate to finish it. I also have my Skam season 5 - Magnus fic that I'd love to finish one day but I haven't found the plan I made for it originally.
What are your writing strengths?
Dialogue and character voice I think?
What are your writing weaknesses?
Plotting? I'm good at writing scenes but writing a longer storyline in fanfic is something I struggle with.
Thoughts on dialogue in another language?
If you can do it, go for it! I wish I could incorporate more Spanish in my RWRB fics but alas I only got French or German at my school, I only stuck with French. Maybe I'll brush up & add some in for Henry (RWRB) or Nick (Heartstopper).
First fandom you wrote in?
Riverdale, I haven't seen it in years 😅
Favorite fic you've written?
i try hard to get back inside your arms alive is the probably the one I'm proudest of and while it isn't finished yet Her Royal Highness is up there cause it combines so many of my favourite things, I'm getting to explore darker topics in some scenes while also putting Henry in drag - fanfic catnip for me quite frankly!
I'm not sure who has done this already but I'll tag folks I want to see answer this: @heysweetheart-writes @candyspandemonium @firenati0n @onthewaytosomewhere @callumsmitchells & of course, open tag 💛

(cont. ask) first of all NOOO don't apologize i was looking for a long post, this is why i came here! i've been lurking way back! i remembered your blog name! 2. wow??? this is such a comprehensive answer!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍🤗😳 thank you so much! 3. any content you want to post i am here for! 4. i can't believe there are so many new guys, like yes of course, but i can't believe it! 5. Oh yeah the details of the Holtby thing are coming back to me, i seem to have repressed it.🙈
Aw that's so sweet of you! A longtime viewer! (Viewer? What am I, a YouTuber? Calm down.) It's sweet of you to remember me and I'm delighted that I am apparently famous and evidently famous for making long/extensive posts lol. Which I'm about to do again.
I talked about Strome, Milano, Sandin, and alllll those young guys on my last post, as well as Darcy and TvR. [And Dowd but you already knew him.] The rest of the guys currently on the team I haven't really touched on yet that joined post-Holtby era are Nicolas Aube-Kubel, Anthony Mantha, and Charlie Lindgren. I'll get into them in a bit, but I gotta get into some other things first.
You said you haven't really watched since the Holtby era, so I'm going to assume you know everything that happened/all the people we had up til that final season, and that you know little/nothing of what has happened since then. So I'm gonna give a quick recap of some of the big things that have happened in that time:
You missed the ENTIRETY of the Sammy and Vitek goaltending era, which was kinda turbulent. Sammy was gonna be the starter with Henrik Lundqvist as the backup, but then it turned out Lundqvist had a heart condition and had to retire and never played a game for the Caps. This forced Vitek into action, and we had 2 years of the Sammy and Vitek goaltending duo. I, personally, loved it. Some people did not. I still hold that they were BOTH GOOD!! They split time, neither one ever TRULY grasped the starting reigns. There was also when Vitek got taken by the Kraken in the expansion draft and then immediately traded him back to us. Also they were besties, which started when they were a duo down in Hershey. It's also why my blog is titled "goalie best friend tandem," though it also currently applies to Darcy and Chuck who are besties. You can search the "goalie best friends" tag on my blog for cute Sammy and Vitek content. Neither of them are here anymore, but they're still friends - I remember seeing a quote Vitek gave to some Devils people talking about him and about still being friends and such.
Players you knew back from the Holtby era who are no longer with us: Lars Eller, Richard Panik (useless), Jonas Siegenthaler, Travis Boyd, Christian Djoos, Michal Kempny, Radko Gudas, Garnet Hathaway, Dmitry Orlov [don't talk to me about these last two I'm sad]
Players that played with us for multiple seasons after the Holtby era who are no longer with us this year: Justin Schultz, Conor Sheary, Daniel Sprong, Matt Irwin
COVID robbed us of our time with Brenden Dillon and I'm sad about it
We had Zdeno Chara for 1 year, and he straightup fixed Nick Jensen. Jensen was abysmal before that, then Chara was his defense partner for the whole year, and Jensen is good now. I no longer dread every time he touches the puck, I trust him. Also he has a personality now! Idk what kind of dark magic Chara used, but I will be forever thankful to him for it. 1 year of Chara absolutely 1000% worth it just for fixing Nick Jensen
We got Marcus Johansson back! :) And then we traded him again
We traded Jakub Vrana for Anthony Mantha, who is useless and unfortunately still here. He never fit in with the team vibe of "sexy idiots," he's not loud enough or slutty enough.
In March 2022 Carl Hagelin suffered a really bad eye injury during practice. I think the butt end of someone's stick got into his eye? (We were never told whose stick it was, I'm sure they have to feel absolutely terrible about it.) He's lucky he didn't lose his eye. He tried to come back, but he never played a game again after that. He was technically on the roster all of last season, but he never got into any games, and he just announced his retirement this summer. A really sad end, tbh. And RIP to the 4th line of dreams.
We were GONNA have Connor Brown for the 2022-23 season, and he was gonna play with Dylan Strome whom he's friends with and played in juniors with. But he played for like 2 games and then got hurt and was out for the season and never played for us again. I think he's in Edmonton now.
You know about goal songs, right?? I think the last year of Holtby was the first year of goal songs. I have a Spotify playlist of goal songs if you wanna check it out
There have been SO many injuries the last 3 years. 2021-22 was what I like to call the year of babies. I don't even remember who exactly was injured but there were so many injuries it necessitated the callup of SO many rookies. TWELVE rookies played that season: Martin Fehervary, Connor McMichael, Beck Malenstyn, Garrett Pilon, Hendrix Lapierre, Brett Leason, Aliaksei Protas, Axel Jonsson-Fjallby, Zach Fucale, Joe Snively, Alex Alexeyev, and Lucas Johansen. All of whom made their NHL debuts that season except for Fehervary, McMichael, Malenstyn, and Pilon. Of those rookies, Fehervary and McMichael were the only ones who were really supposed to make the team that season; they stuck around the whole season, while Leason and Protas played 30+ games, AJF played 20+, Snively and Malenstyn played more than 10 each, and the rest had 6 or less. It was truly the year of babies. Some of those guys aren't in the organization anymore, but I think this is the year the rest of them finally make the leap and are true full-timers. [Except for Fehervary, who already is]
More injury news: Nicky and Tom were injured for like the first half of last season. And in December, John Carlson broke his fucking face. He got hit in the face with a puck and it broke his entire face, like it was really bad, and he hardly played again. I think he came back for like the last few weeks, but tbh his injury was when the season went downhill. [I say "broke his face" but the official reports are he had a fractured skull and severed temporal artery. Yikes! He's fine now though]
Ovi just keeps breaking goal records. He got 800 goals and then passed Gordie Howe last season!!! He is now number 2 all-time in goals!! He currently has 822. Watch out, Gretzky, he's comin' for ya
Oh yeah the Hershey Bears won the Calder Cup this year!! It was absolutely epic. They played the Coachella Valley Firebirds (Kraken AHL team) in the finals, and it was an awesome finals. It went to Game 7 overtime. GAME SEVEN OVERTIME!!!!! Do you know how rare that is? It's only the 2nd time the Calder Cup Finals has gone to overtime in Game 7, with the first time being in 1953. In the NHL, it has only ever happened in the Stanley Cup Finals TWICE. EVER! By the Wings in 1950 and 1954. So the Bears won the Calder Cup in Game 7 overtime and it was exciting as FUCK. And a lot of guys who might make the Caps roster this year were on that Cup-winning team: Snively, Protas, McMichael, Malenstyn, Johansen, as well as top prospects Lapierre and Iorio. They're the oldest franchise in the AHL, and that was their 12th Calder Cup, which is the most in AHL history.
And you said to feel free to post some content so I am going to POST some CONTENT. Starting with:
✨Darcy Kuemper✨
I fucking love Darcy, so much. I've already said that I've liked him for a long time, and I'm absolutely elated to have him on the team. He won the Cup with the Avs in 2022. He is also very tall, he's 6'5", one time he hugged TJ and it made TJ look like a child. He's so sweet, and he's so dumb. He's like a giant labrador. Some of my favorite assorted Darcy things and moments include:
In one of his first interviews after signing he said he was gonna visit every museum in DC, and I'm like no you're not, Darcy, that's not possible. Our first sign that he was a big dummy
One time suplexed Matthew Tkachuk into the ice
Got a shot on goal during a game last year
The time he tried to "interview" Nick Jensen at the outdoor game practice while giggling incessantly
Here's him at NHL media day last year, featuring him kicking a soccer ball like you see in my profile pic :)
Says one of his life goals is to bring back the dinosaurs. Please see this post for the full story on that one
Is absolute BESTIES with Charlie Lindgren, the backup goalie. Like, so much so that they and their wives constantly take their dogs on walks together, the dogs are reportedly besties as well, and the Kuempers dog-sat Chuck's dog over Christmas. They also kind of have matching dogs, I'll include a picture below. Chuck also called himself and Darcy two of the "more normal goalies in the league" which is an absolute lie after the dinosaurs thing, so clearly Chuck doesn't have that many brain cells rolling around up there either. They also did THIS at media day this year. Their friendship is just so pure. You can read more about it in this article. And like, they didn't know each other before signing here. According to the article, evidently after they signed, they texted each other and then literally the scene from stepbrothers happened
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then TvR 🥰 Mine own love TvR. I adore Trevor van Riemsdyk so much. He's just got incredibly good vibes. I also have a bit more of a personal attachment to him, because he and I have the same birthday (July 24). He's a bit soft-spoken, especially compared to some of the other freaks on this team. Possibly one of the only ones with any semblance of a brain cell. He's not flashy; he's a steady-eddy defenseman, almost always on the third pair barring injuries. He's not gonna score a bunch of points, but he plays hard defensively every game (one of the reasons goalies love him), he's reliable, and he blocks SO many shots. He's also one of THE guys on the penalty kill. The penalty kill is TvR, Jensen, Fehervary, and Dowd, those are the main guys. We also officially claimed him as our own. As of this year, he will have played more years with the Caps than with anyone else, he currently has more goals, assists, and points with us than with anyone else, and after about 40 more games he will have played more games with us than with anyone else.
Also the ENTIRE team is absolutely fucking OBSESSED with him. There aren't like that many big specific things I can point to, it's just how I've noticed them treating him over the years, and how they talk about/to him and the general energy. They all love to shout "REEEEEEEEEEEEMERRRRRRRR" at any and every opportunity. And like you can just tell that every single one of them is deeply in love with him. They are all constantly tripping over themselves to give him the player of the game award in the locker room, even when other guys have a bunch of points in the game and it feels like they're the obvious choice but no they all want to give a love letter to their collective crush. The goalies especially love him. (Here's Chuck giving him the POTG, Nicky giving him the POTG, and a recounting of Sammy's love affair with him two seasons ago). The coaches also love him, sometimes too much for their own good - there have been times in the last few years when they've put TvR on the power play and in the shootout (??) when he had no business being there lol. And like I don't blame them lmao. He's grown to become a leader on the team (and occasionally gets As on his chest during preseason games and when a bunch of dudes are injured - another thing that confirms to me they're all in love with him, he got real high up on the chain of command real quick), he's super consistent (there was one game last year when there were so many injuries on D that the defense was quite literally just TvR plus a bunch of rookies - I said that day that the defense was "TvR and a dream"), and he will absolutely never put his mouthguard in his mouth. So as the year goes on, and as you watch games and social media content, just keep your eyes peeled, watch TvR, and you'll see that the entire team is so fucking horny for TvR specifically. I made this meme awhile back, which is exactly how the Caps feel about TvR:
Tumblr media
Other miscellaneous fun facts about the team and players that I think you should know:
Our backup goalie is Charlie Lindgren, but we all call him Chuck. It suits him better, especially with his mustache. He also catches right-handed, which is different than practically every other goalie in the league. So like if you look, he and Darcy wear their catching gloves on different hands.
There are a LOT of NHL brothers on this team. Dylan Strome's older brother Ryan plays for the Ducks, and his younger brother Matt actually plays for the Hershey Bears. Trevor van Riemsdyk is also the middle child of three hockey-playing brothers: his older brother James plays for the Bruins, and younger brother Brendan doesn't play in the NHL but played college hockey. And Charlie Lindgren is the oldest of 3 hockey brothers: Andrew played college hockey but never made the NHL, and youngest brother Ryan plays for the Rangers.
Kuzy has been doing some wacky shit in the shootout the last few years, just go look it up on YouTube
Here's a video of the mentors trip this year so you can see Sonny Milano's father who is simply exactly who I envisioned him to be in my head
Nicolas Aube-Kubel (NAK), a French-Canadian fourth line winger that the Caps picked up on waivers in November last year, is Sergei Ovechkin's (Ovi's son) favorite player. We learn this in a video feature with Ovi's wife and kids (I'm including the link to this gifset from the lovely @thornescratch which is where I first saw this). The producer asks who Sergei's favorite player is, and Sergei immediately answers "Aube-Kubel." Not only is Aube-Kubel his "guy" according to Nastya, but then we also see that a selfie of Sergei and Aube-Kubel is the lock screen of Sergei's iPad. And Sergei calls Aube-Kubel his "best friend." Learning this information is such a curveball, because it's like the last person you'd expect Sergei's favorite to be. It's not somebody Russian or even European, it's not somebody old or someone who's been on the team a long time, it's not one of his dad's closer friends, and it's not even one of the stars of the team, it's a young Canadian dude who plays fourth line if he's in. Aube-Kubel must be REALLY friendly, otherwise why else would he be Sergei's favorite? You know it has to be absolutely devastating to Tom Wilson to not be Sergei's favorite lol. [I'm also convinced this is why they re-signed NAK so quick in the offseason, you HAVE to bring back Sergei's favorite player!!]
Tumblr media
Speaking of NAK: remember how I said Beck Malenstyn was Nic Dowd's chosen winger? NAK is his OTHER chosen winger. Those two are twin shitstarters and Dowd loves them and I know he absolutely wants both of them on his line this season. They're gonna be a great 4th line. I could talk all day about Dowd and his 4th line duties, and you can ask me to do that if you want but I'm not gonna do it here
I also know everyone's zodiac sign because I'm a freak. I can also get more into that in a separate post if you want
There's probably more stuff, but this is all I can think of for now. Please feel free to ask me more stuff, I love diving into things. Stuff about the team, players, my favorites, whatever. I hope this is both informative and entertaining!

Ch. 1 - A Fresh Start
Tumblr media
A/n: finally I’m posting Chapter 1 to my new series! I think I will make it correspond with the movies starting after AoU and in this Pietro lived. But I hope you guys like this! It is 8 years in the making haha, you’ll also see some familiar faces or rather read.
Warnings: Just fluff and some flirting, and avengers fighting
Words: 1.5k
Chapter 2 >
Main Master-List
Blinding Light Master-List
*******************
It had been 5 months since I left my family behind in order to protect them. I’ve moved into a small one-bedroom apartment in New York City and only go out for groceries and my job at the corner cafe. I was returning from a grocery run when I unlock my door and enter, something doesn’t feel quite right and I drop the bag by the door. I walk further in and I see a figure sitting in the recliner in the corner.
“I don’t know who you think you are but I suggest you leave my home right now before I fry you!” I yell out already feeling my powers.
“Welcome home Miss (Y/n), my name is Nick Fury, and Im or rather I was the Director of SHIELD,” the mysterious figure says still sitting.
Electricity was coursing through my hand as I spoke “If that’s true then prove it. If you can't then I don’t know who the hell you are pal but I’ll kindly ask you one last time to leave my home or else I’ll electrocute your ass!”
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a badge of sorts. “Protocol 78,” he says to it.
“User: Nicholas J Fury, Welcome back” a small hologram appears. It’s SHIELD’s official symbol; alright he is the real deal.
“Alright, you really are the big cheese, but what do you want with me and how did you find me?”
“We never lost tabs on you or your family after your father passed, we simply kept our distance. Now those men who took you were HYDRA, we believe they mean to recruit you or find any information you have about your father and the work he did with SHIELD” he says getting up out of the chair. “Now we already have agents watching over your family but as for you, I’d like to ask you to join us”
I stare at him wide-eyed, “Me? A Super Hero? You can’t be serious; I don’t have the proper training. I don’t, no I can’t”
“You have the proper training all you need to learn is how to control your gift and we can do that with the help of the Avengers. But if that isn’t what you choose then so be it, the offer still stands and Miss Y/n, we’ll be watching you, just to make sure nothing happens to you that is.” With a final word, he walks out of the apartment.
I go and grab the groceries that I had left by the front door, I start putting away the groceries and go over my options. I could become a SHIELD Agent like my father and help save the world against all the evils in this world or I could continue to live a normal life as a civilian and just rely on them to protect me against HYDRA. You know what screw it; I want to be able to protect this world and my family. I lean against my counter when there's a knock at the door.
“I see you've made your decision, I will be back within a week to take you to your new home and begin your training,” Fury says while standing outside my door.
“I can be ready in 2 hours,” I say while allowing him in and going to my bedroom and packing.
I finish writing the note to my landlord about my leaving and no longer needing the apartment. I tape it to the front door and lock it, slipping my key underneath the door and leaving with Fury, I fix my baseball cap on my head and slip on sunglasses on, sliding into a sleek unmarked black SUV.
“What now? I go meet the team go a few rounds with them and see if I’m Hero material?”
“Correct, if you choose to stay you’ll be safe with 24hr surveillance or if you choose to leave you can go back to the life you had before, however, we would prefer you join the Avengers.” He says as we begin driving.
“My father, he was a good man. I know he would want me to become someone who helps others. So, I'll stay and become an agent of SHIELD.” I say while looking him in the eyes.
The rest of the ride was silent, I stared out of the window watching as we passed by trees thinking of my family, hoping that they are safe. I’m pulled from my thoughts when we break through a clearing and I huge building comes into view.
“Wow,” I breathe as the black SUV comes to a stop. I open up my door and bring my duffel bag onto my shoulder.
“Welcome to your new home Y/n,” he says as I get out of the SUV, “This is where i leave you for now, however, you will meet your team on the fourth floor, the elevator to your right will take you right to them.
‘You’ve got this Y/n, you're just moving in with THE avengers and becoming a part of the team, no biggie’ I say to myself as I watch the numbers on the elevator get higher and higher ‘Oh who am I kidding this is the best freaking day of my life! Even if I am here to protect my family from harm there is no shame in being excited’ Im pulled out of my thoughts by the ding of the elevator indicating I had made it to my floor.
The doors opened “Hi im (Y/n) Jacobs, I'm the newest member of the Avengers…” I'm cut mid-speech just as a vase comes flying towards me, thanks to my fast reflexes, I'm able to stop it with a flick of my wrist, blasting it to pieces. I look up and see my new teammates fighting.
“That’s enough!” I yell stepping out of the elevator and stopping everyone in their tracks.
“Uh, who's the new chick?” The one who I assume is Tony Stark asks as he's about to punch Steve Rogers I'm guessing.
“The new chick has a name and it's (Y/n) Jacobs, I'm your new teammate” I saw with a serious tone “I'm also the chick who was almost hit in the face with a vase.”
“Oh, that was my fault” I look up and see a brunette girl around my age say and look down.
“So are you guys gonna introduce ourselves or am I just gonna have to guess for the rest of the time being?” I ask with a smirk. “And why exactly were you all fighting?”
“Well I'm tony stark Genius Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist,” Tony says standing up and leaning against the couch.
“Im steve Rogers Ma’am” steve says while getting up from the ground.
“Im Wanda Maximoff and this-” wanda says being cut off by a streak of blue.
“Im her twin Pietro Maximoff,” a rather cute boy says.
“Hello, my name is vision,” an android said.
“Im James Buchanan Barnes ma’am but you can call me bucky,” A man with a metal arm and shaggy brown hair says standing up from a couch.
“I am Thor Fair Maiden!” a booming blonde said, his loudness made me giggle slightly.
“I am Loki God of mischief,” a lanky black-haired man said standing next to thor.
“Im Natasha Romanoff but you can call me Nat,” A red-haired woman said while sitting on top of a man who was passed out. “Oh and that's Clint Barton, he's a little preoccupied right now.”
“Im sam Wilson, another friend to steve,” Sam said smirking and looking over at Bucky.
“As for Rhodey, he's out on some military business and won't be here for quite some time,” Tony said, “That means the only person left is”
“Hi im bruce banner, it's really nice to meet you (y/n).” a shy and timid curly-haired man said while standing in the doorway to the kitchen.
“Well, I think that's everyone. Uh, how exactly did you stop that vase from hitting you?” Tony asked with curiosity.
“Oh, thats easy! I’m an Electrokinetic meaning I can control the electricity around me as well as use the electricity in my body to shoot it from my hands” I say quite proudly.
“Interesting, well you'll definitely have to show us more of your powers during training or sometime else,” tony said excitedly. I shake my head and nod while yawning.
“I'm sorry, I just got here from NYC and all the new information presented to me has me a bit exhausted. Do you mind showing me my new room?” I asked while grabbing my bags.
“Here I'll show you, there's an empty room next to mine you can have,” Wanda says while walking over towards me.
“Thank you,” I say smiling and walking down the hall with her.
“She's hot,” Pietro says not knowing I can still hear him.
“Thank you!” I said blushing a bit. Following my thank you, you are a chorus of laughs.
When I finally finish dropping my things off in my room, I turn to Wanda.
“Is your brother always the flirty type?” I ask a small smile appearing on my face.

Get to know you ask game ✈️🎵🍋💔
So many questions! Thank you my darling!
✈️ Favourite place you've traveled
Florence by far. It was the epicenter of my studies at the time, and being able to be around all the art and culture I'd been studying was an outerwordly experience. I think I'd have the same reaction if/when I ever visit Ravenna.
🎵 Favourite artists
Fleetwood Mac and Metric no contest. Yeah, I love T Swift, but she has nothing on Stevie Nicks and Emily Haines.
🍋 Favourite genre to read/write/watch
Darling, you KNOW this. Historical fiction! No contest. Give me a story set somewhere in history, and I am ON BOARD! Give me a story taking place in medieval/Renaissance Italy, OR, during the Golden Age of Byzantium, and I'll be drawn to your story.
💔 Is there a fic you wish you didn't write?
Oufff... this is a difficult question to answer. I mean had you asked me this a couple of years ago, I would have had a whole list. Since then, I've had a clearer mind and have learned to love the fics I've written. I think i wish I could go back and tweak the really early fics. Maybe fix the WLW Fiona fic and expand it more.
It's more like... there are two fics I regret never finishing. They've taught me that I have to finish a fic before posting them.
There has been one fic that I ended up Orphaning, but that was during the lowest point of my fandom experience.
Thank you for the asks, darling!
ASK ME THE THINGS!!

Find the Word Tag Game
Out here catching up with two Find the Word Tag Games from @card-queen so this post will be a tad longer!
I'm tagging @card-queen back and also tagging anyone else who wants to play, say I tagged you so I can know to tag you in the future and have more people to play with! Your words are: Image, Imagine, and Intrigue
Snippets under the cut! Somehow, I found none of these words in my current WIP, so I'll have to fix that, but on the bright side I get a chance to share a glimpse into my other projects!
Star from The Peculiar Adventures of Michael Mallory
Michael joined Andrew at his station as the holoscreen showed an image of the transport pod leaving the ship. Once the transport was out of range Michael turned his face up to Andrew. “I have you on a game card,” Michael grinned, “Actually I have two of you. One that I play the Star Trading game with and the other in a laminated folder, to keep it safe, a lot of my cards got things spilled on them and shorted out the power. But not yours.”
Spike from Otherworld
Now that Maxine could see it properly, she was even more terrified. It was dark out, but the sun was beginning to rise and her vision was back to normal. It was a vaguely humanoid-shaped hole in the world. Just a mass of blackness, the edges of it were tiny spikes, which seemed to move up and down and around one another. Its head was shaped like a triangle, the point balanced on its body and connected by a neck, one of the points acting as the chin. Its arms and legs ended in a mass of sharp, black claws and it stood on its hind legs.
Spare from Otherworld
“It used to be that all the castles were the same,” Emogen continued lightly as they walked through the maze of armor. “But of course, each Great Prophet has put their own personal touches on each one. Take my father Semias, he fills the spare rooms of the Castle of Murias with the hungry every night.”
Despite from Otherworld
“Do you even know where we’re going?” Maxine called after C.J., she still hadn’t caught up with him despite how fast she was walking.  “The portals may appear at my mother’s command, however, there is no sure way to know where exactly one will place you on the other side,” C.J. explained.  “So that’s a no,” Maxine decoded.
Inspire from The Peculiar Adventures of Michael Mallory
As Nick went back over his story of how he escaped an attacking group of pirates and fled safely away on The Stove - an old favorite of Michael’s which he had heard at least five times - Michael imagined how glorious it would be if he were to grow up and be a captain of a team of space explorers like his brother. Shrouded by his thick black bangs, Michael’s chocolate-colored eyes gleamed with imagination and dreams of that bright future. He could see himself in Nick’s spot, retelling his wonderful adventures to his brothers and sisters who were yet to be born, painting a masterful picture of words just like Nick did and inspiring them to achieve their own dreams like he had.
Stride from God of Smoke
They wore those strange clothes, they had strange tools, they talked to one another so casually and didn’t act at all like angels were supposed to. And they didn’t know the guardian language? What kind of angels were these? Ky’tus seemed to notice too and he looked up cautiously when they didn’t respond in the right language. The older man licked his lips but smiled and used both hands to gesture towards the site. He seemed to take all these surprises with such stride. Em’het wondered how he could be so calm. 
Peek from Otherworld
It took most of the day for the three of them to make it to the City of Finias. However, the city was clearly seen once the forest began to thin out and the sun brightened. There was a low, thick mountain in their path. It was quite a strange sight, it looked like something had cut the mountain at the middle because the top of the mountain was entirely flat. And upon that mountain top was a city. Or Maxine assumed it was a city, she could see the towers of what must have been a castle peeking above the tall white walls that served as a perimeter.

Underhanded-Handees has a mix of both hello puppets and undertale.
The staff end up escaping before their life force got completely sucked out, and they stole the magic book from Mortimer.
They cast a spell on the studio, burying it underground and locking the puppets away. Harper and Owen were still inside though.
Scout vouchers for them, asking for them to be spared, and to find a different use than just being living life support. Mortimer agrees, making harper his personal assistant (seeing how willing she was to work to keep the job she had with Owen in the beginning), and he forces his father to work with Riley to find an alternative to human life force.
Things end up going well, and Owen DOES help Riley find a solution (monsters work the same in all my AUs, I have a biology post somewhere uhdhdhdhdhd I'll @ you if I haven't already). Riley ends up helping Owen fix the souls of the puppets, making them into healthy monsters. She still doesn't completely view him as a father, but she does form some attachments and respect for him, thanks to his work.
Mortimer gets emotionally attached to both harper and scout, snatching them, and telling Owen he's their grandfather now-
The roles in this AU is different, because of what I know about the characters so far.
Mortimer is Asgore. Because I have no idea on who else to make him-
Harper is Chara
Scout is Flowey
Daisy is Toriel, a shop keeper in Snowdin (might rename the town for the AU, haven't decided), and she is also Undyne (but ONLY on genocide :) )
Owen is Gaster, and fell into a machine he was trying to make to break the barrier (so all the puppets forget who their father is :( )
Riley is alphys and papyrus. She's carefree, but still full of anxiety like th two characters. But she has a lot more freedom in science, thanks to King Mortimer making her THE royal scientist, and giving her a puppet team (who all eventually became Owen followers). She wants to be in the royal guard, because she has fight in her and she has the whole "want something done right, do it yourself" mentality.
Roscoe is Endogeny, and Riley still experiments on puppets. Roscoe was one of her DT experiments tho and it added to Riley's anxiety, because she hurt someone she loved and ruined her best friend's life :(
Nick nack is both sans and metaton. He has no motivation to do art anymore, bit still does comedy on stage for Riley's sake (she modified him for the king, and he needs to show off her work). Although he wasn't a scientist that worked with Owen before he fell, he still was a witness (Riley was grabbing coffee when he fell from reality). So he's the only Handeemen that remembers Owen. He developed an interest in science, to try and bring Owen back, to no avail. He's more like sans when you first meet him, and on genocide and neutral. But on true pacifist, he's more like metaton. "Fighting" the human, and making sure the child actually has a blast in the show. Finding the motivation to sing, dance, and actually do the things he once loved, to make sure this kid smiles and has a blast. Cool uncle nick moment :D
The host from the second game is our Frisk.
My friend didn't like that I made nick nack sans, because she thought that mortimer fit sans better. But I disagreed-
After arguing a bit, we discovered a common trend amongst my sanses (sansi?). All my sanses/sansi... I. Relate. To.
Fnaftale Fredbear: lots of trauma, and emotional issues due to said trauma. People pleaser, but can and will choose to be an asshole. Somewhat out of touch with his emotions, and sometimes forgets what he's feeling.
DToD sans: lazy chaotic gremlin.
8th ring satan: bad relationship with religion, and has went from being violent, to hating and avoiding fights.
UnderWillyWonder willy: forgot a large chunk of his life, and a lot of people don't recognize him as the same person anymore.
And now the nick nack of this AU: Everything pretty much wrong with him in canon from what I've seen with that poor puppet, plus being an artist. (There are some things he's done and said that I KNOW I have done and said-)
TL:DR
The funny part about all my AUs, is that more often than not my Sanses/sansi are just a callout about me hdhdhdhhdhdhhdudjd-
I don't think i need to talk to a therapist, they just need to see my AU sanses/j
Just got back from school btw-
OOOOOO I SEE!!!
That's all sounding very neat;!! Yes
Crossover aus are fun to make and read about
DAMN

hie, oh man I loooooove hearing srmthfg fans ideas/conepts for either villain redemption arcs (including almost redemption arcs where they cant be fixed in the end) and like. revivals of canonically dead villains. I was wondering do you have any thoughts on a Mandarin redemption adjacent arc? Saw the last post and got curious!
A good villain redemption arc is fun, and granted most of the time when I do write Mandarin it's not with redemption in mind because I often like writing exes/one sided Mandarin/Antauri stuff. But I yes, I love my au's and hey, a redemption arc for Mandarin au is fun.
So the basic idea would be Mandarin ended up in the games galaxy as a piece as well. Unlike Hermes who was dealing with a casino owner , Domino, Mandarin ended up in a character I nick named Saw (because he has no real name currently) territory as a piece. Saw is a mix of a crypt keeper vibe (gross looking, makes gore/horror puns. Has a high pitched laugh) and a bit of the saw movies (i don't really write gore much I will add in. It's more a high concept of what his thing is rather then something I really focus on. I'll allude to things, but out right writing detailed gore? Nah.) . Mandarin, despite being weakened at this point, has survived all the games that are in Saw's territory ( i see it as almost like a set, big old castle vibes to it and traps and various dangerous creatures abound.) and has become a high prized piece.
The the team ends up trapped in the games galaxy for a time (except Chiro who knows full well he can't take on this whole area on his own, so is going to allies for back up) and Mandarin and Antauri see each other.
Mandarin doesn't recognize Antauri until he speaks. And it's becoming clear that yeah, Mandarin's gone through a lot here. He's also been reflecting on a lot of past stuff that lead him to here.
Mandarin and Antauri having to work together/sort of rebonding through trauma?
Speaking of trauma bonding, this version of redeemed Mandarin and Hermes getting a lot very well because of dark humor/trauma sharing. To share a bit between the two a friend thought up..
Mandarin: Saw set me on fire a bit before. Was I as the kids put it, lit?
Hermes wheeze laughing. The others just staring in horror.

WRECKS ANON HERE OMG OMG idk what time it is there it’s currently night time as i’m sending this but HOW WAS THE CONCERT TELL ME EVERYTHING!!1!!
HI!! i just woke up and seeing this made me so happy because i NEED to talk about it, everything is under the cut so people dont have to scroll pass all of this if they dont care lol
okay so, i went with my friend and it was a general admission show that started at 8. we didn't want to be front row or even really in the crowd (covid plus i get anxious/claustrophobic) so we we're fine with just standing in the back so we thought we'd get there at 7 and walk around the area beforehand. but when we pulled up the line was like fully around the block and sooo long, like at least 200 people long. so we just immediately got in line. i thought it was so weird how they didn't even start letting people in until like 7:15 when the show started at 8 but oh well.
we get in, the venue is bigger than i thought it was gonna be and since there were so many people outside we thought it would be absolutely packed, but it was really comfortable, so me and my friend stood off to the side but we were still really close to the stage. then the opening acts quickly went on, i knew both of their music and i ended up meeting them after the show! mothe (like the bug moth) went first and they were amazing! then girlhouse went on and they were amazing too, the lead singer introduced a song by saying something like 'this is a song about people using religion to tell me what to do with my body' and then said she was giving all of the tips from her merch she sells to a charity for abortion funds which was amazing. the song was 'happy now' btw.
also i should mention before the wrecks went on it was...so hot. it was like 90 degrees outside and the AC was broken in the venue so everyone was sweating and dying even before the main show started....
then the wrecks finally went on and they're intro was so cool (i have a video i'll post it soon, i have a few videos i'll post throughout the day). the energy was immediately amazing and it was a hometown show for two of the members so it felt special. also i'm not exaggerating, nick made direct eye contact with me like... every other song. for a long time like we held our gazes for a while it was POWERFUL. it was also one of the most respectful concerts, nick kept saying that it was really hot and they were handing out water constantly in between songs, he also said to look out for your neighbor if they need help and alert him immediately and bring attention to it, he also said if there's a creepy dude bothering you to also alert him and security will get him out. i thought that was very nice that he made an active effort to have people feel safe.
they did stop the show a few times (i think 3) first was a small fight because someone got pushed, the second was a false alarm and the third was someone passed out or was about to pass out? she ended up being fine but they stopped the show for like 10 minutes and were handing out waters to everyone while she was being taken care of.
then the show continued and they kept having people applaud for their crew member named trevor. nick went on a whole bit and kept saying things like 'trevor is the sock under your bed you find that matches the sock you were looking for' and other things like that. for like 5 minutes while trevor was fixing his guitar. then it came to an end, it was amazing.
i waited till after to get merch and that's when i met both the opening acts because they were just hanging out afterwards. got pictures with them both and they were so sweet. i bought a girlhouse tote bag and stickers, as well as a wrecks signed vinyl.
we waited outside afterwards to see if we could meet them (the guitarist was out there just hanging out but no one was like... talking to him or anything because he was the friends so people just kinda ignored him lol). we didn't get to meet them because we left after like 30 minutes because 1. we were so tired and sweaty 2. there was a real creepy dude who was like 60 years old and talking to two 20 year old girls and they were like... smoking out of his pipe... so the vibes were off and we left lol.
they did say they would be back soon and try and do 2 nights instead of 1 so maybe i'll meet them then. but overall it was amazing. 💕💕💕

Gif asks 💜 2,4, 5, 9, 16, 27, 32, 34, 41, 47, 49 (i, too, am nosey <3)
hello laura i Love you.
2. what is your least favourite set you’ve made?
well. there is various answers to this one. but overall it's pretty much just most of my early stuff like on my old @ianchaloner blog becos i was a photoshop Baby that did NOT have a clue what they were doing. but like even some of my earlier billy sets and daryl sets are like...........girl that colourings Messy. this billy sets in my activity every now and again and every time i'm like. i need to fix you so bad.
4. a set that flopped but deserved better?
never really got why part 2 of this set got like 500notes but part 1 only got like 50notes?
5. what is your favourite movie/TV show to gif?
i rly liked giffing julie and the phantoms cos the lighting on that show was incredible so the colouring was like. i'm not gonna say easy but also it wasn't a constant battle to get rid of yellows or blues or greens y'know? like if i was writing a report card i'd be like. julie and the phantoms, you were a joy to colour in class <3. tragically netflix axed it after one season so guess i'm never getting that joy again.
9. what/who inspired you to start making gifs?
i don't think it was any one person, i think - like you - i was in a lesser known small fandom and there wasn't a heap of content so i was like. guess i'll try figure this shit out. thanku to all my nick friends for indulging me when my attempts weren't actually that good ily 🥺
16. how long have you been making gifs?
since 2012/2013 i think? wow 10+ years omg
27. have you ever made a set, decided you hated it and deleted it? what was it?
omg probably although i can't remember off the top of my head? i know i've posted a few only to spot the spelling mistake the second i've hit post and had to quickly delete and fix lmao
32. what is your favourite tool/adjustment layer in photoshop?
selective colour, my beloved. blacks and neutrals, my deeper beloved. also i love curves, she's my best friend.
34. a set that took you a long time/was really hard but you’re really proud of how it came out?
this lyric set was my first attempt at the glitch transition and it kicked my ass a bit but i do like how it turned out! also this set was my first attempt at getting the lines around the words(?) effect but the original tutorial i had up was like......not great. so it took hours of trying and retrying and it still wouldn't work so i eventually searched for a new tutorial after like hour 5 and it suddenly worked within line 20 minutes 🙃 ALSO this set from the walking dead took so much configuring to get all the scenes onto one set etc like every afternoon after work i'd get back into it trying to get it all in and i eventually got something that i was okay with posting? it was like the fourth attempt after scrapping the first three attempts and i think all up i made like over 60 gifs 🙃🙃🙃
41. what is your least favourite part about your gif making process?
before u came along and changed my life with avidemux, it was the way that every time i imported video frames to layers, there would ALWAYS be duplicates, so every time i had to go through every frame and layer manually and delete all the double ups, otherwise the gifs would be laggy. but then you DID introduce me to avidemux and now i don't have that problem. i owe u my life and my sanity. now i think the most annoying part is clipping up the parts for the gifs? like i have a billy set in mind for billy week but it requires multiple gifs, and i have started clipping up most scenes and saving them, but i've only really got season two, and the scenes i need are season three. and i'm definitely procrastinating by replying to this instead of doing that cos its like. i just hate clipping up vids and waiting for them to save.
47. any advice for novice gif makers/people who want to start making gifs?
literally just read and try various tutorials and see what feels best! my way of giffing is literally just a mix-matched version of like 10 different tutorials that i've read over the years and sometimes i'm like well obviously i'm doing this wrong since i don't do it the exact way This Tumblr User said to but every time i try and change it always looks worse? also it's not a job and the second it goes from being fun to feeling like a chore??? take a break!!!!!!! literally at the end of the day it's not that important!!! also make sure ur making it for urself and maybe a select few friends!!! cos tumblr interaction these days is very low so like, if ur not making it cos for yourself specifically? u will probably get really discouraged really quickly. literally every set i make these days is just so i can cry in the tags instead of crying in the tags of someone else's post dkljfak
49. how much would you say you’ve improved since you first started giffing?
feel like i've got a much better grasp on colouring also feeling slightly more confident with blending! not a pro by any means but i do put effort in!!!

Summary: (There was no summary, so I've included the first lines. They were enough to convince me.)
"Look out!"
Not sure if the warning was meant for him, Jack threw caution to the wind and jumped his captor anyway. When no shots or blows followed, he figured Daniel's warning had been meant for either Carter or Teal'c.
His tackle forced his opponent to the floor and Jack followed him down, ending the tussle with a well-placed blow to the temple. A moment later, the whine of an energy weapon filled the room.
Jack ducked out of reflex, then quickly looked at who was firing the weapon. A large bounty hunter wannabe was now aiming his weapon at Daniel, who had his hands full trying to keep a knife away from his throat from yet another aggressor.
Before Jack could get to his feet, Teal'c stepped over to the armed captor and with a quick twist, broke his neck.
Three down, counting the first guy Teal'c had taken out.
He heard a grunt of pain and saw Carter's opponent go down as well.
Four down. That only left Daniel's guy. This escape was looking better all the time.

Dream of Minnesota by JoaG and devra on their own website
Chapters: 1/1
Words: estimated 9k+
Summary: (There was no summary, so I've included the first few lines.)
Daniel allowed himself the luxury of taking a moment to regroup, and the only prevalent thought he could arrive at was that SG-1 was going to collectively murder him. Only last week, Jack had begrudgingly signed off on Daniel's archaeological request to travel with SG-11 on a purely archaeological mission to P9H 889, mumbling under his breath that he would be a rich man if he charged the other teams every time they borrowed SG-1's archaeologist. Jack had scoffed that he would be able to retire on the monies that could be had if he doubled the fee when Daniel was injured and then raise the dollar amount exponentially based on the length of infirmary time necessary for recovery.
Not this time, though, Jack had advised Daniel. This time, he was going to come along to personally watch SG-1's archaeologist's six. Daniel was going on this mission, along with SG-11, while he, Colonel Jack O'Neill, was going to execute his brilliant idea of killing two birds with one stone. Keeping one eye on Daniel while the other eye was going to be trained on a handful of recruits who Jack promised would learn the fine art of keeping busy when a mission was truly boring. And if that hadn't been enough, both Teal'c and Sam had thought their CO's idea was a wonderful one and had volunteered to go along for the ride.

Summary: (I couldn't find one, so I have included the first few lines.)
It felt strange to walk back in without anyone noticing, without any fanfare. Not that Captain Samantha Carter expected a big welcome, but there was something unsettling about walking into the Stargate Control Room and being ignored. As if, during her long absence, she’d ceased to be part of the thing she loved so much.
As if she’d become a ghost.

MASTERLIST
A/N: Hey guys! I'm so, so sorry for the delay. I tried my best to post the chapter as soon as possible, but my days were very turbulent. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it💕
Tumblr media
summary: Katherine and Genya have a serious talk. Hope plans to make Agatha meet Nick without the hybrid knowing he’s actually her twin brother.
word count: 2840
warnings: none
────────── ★ ★ ★ ──────────
Besides having a terrible night of sleep and no breakfast, Katherine had to endure a headache and the loud chatter of the other handmaidens. Moreover: there were no news from her shadows or her cousins about Agatha or Ravka itself.
But what is truly testing the witch's patience is the Corporalki that keeps following her since yesterday. She was heading to the library when she saw from the corner of her eyes a male figure following her. As a test, the woman decided to wander around the Little Palace to make sure if the man did follow her. She had to hold a scoff when he turned for the third time the same hallway as her.
She didn't have the chance to go to the library yesterday due to this. Katherine is being watched, yet she doesn't know if the Heartrender man is the only "spy". It's clear that he's following orders, since the Darkling saw her on his chambers. The witch must admit she was utterly surprised for not getting punished by the General, though she must've thought he wouldn't let this go. Of course the Shadow Summoner would — and should — do anything in his power to know what a servant was doing on his rooms. However, it's a bit disappointing to see such a poor spying. It's almost funny to watch Grishas trying to stalk a poor handmaiden without knowing she's a powerful witch.
Oh, how they underestimate her.
Katherine gasps at the sudden cold wetness on her chest. She looks down at the soaked white blouse, her rage doubling in size and her jaw clenching to not scream at the idiot who's done this.
"Ms. Anya!" Of course it had to be the lightscum, she thought.
"I'm so, so sorry!" Alina put her own kefta on the woman's blouse in an attempt to dry it. "I was— Well, Genya was—" She shook her head. "It doesn't matter. I took the jar from her and tripped on the corner of the table. You know how this fancy mobiles are—"
"Enough." The Sun Summoner shuts her mouth immediately, an unsaid warning in the coldness of Katherine's voice.
"I didn't mean it."
The handmaiden takes a deep breath to not say something she might regret. "I know. Just give me a towel and I'll fix this."
Before she could blink, Alina was by her side with a towel. The woman takes it without thanking her and begins to dry her blouse a little. The room stayed in an unpleasant silence for some minutes until Genya decided to break it: "You have to meet Baghra now, Alina."
"But—"
"The Heartrenders will escort you." She nods to the men on the doorway.
Alina faces Katherine again, whose eyes were at the soaked blouse. She's been trying to gain her respect — or at least earn a smile from her — since they were introduced, but she's been failing miserably. The Sun Summoner felt on day one that she annoys the woman; it's clear due to the indifferent expressions towards her. Unlike many servants, Ms. Anya doesn't talk to Alina unless she asks something, and is never entertained by her clumsiness, jokes or lack of knowledge.
Genya noticed that too. She'd even tried to have a conversation with Ms. Anya, but a blonde handmaiden entered on her way and had the chance to talk to the brunette first.
"She doesn't deserve this." The Tailor suddenly says.
Katherine still tries to dry her blouse. "What?"
"Your harshness. You're too cold to her."
She finally looks up, a frown on her face. "I answer all of her questions. If I were cold or impolite, as you're implying, I'd always ignore her."
"But you don't talk to her."
"Of course. I was not hired for that."
It takes everything in Genya to not roll her eyes. "Alina's suffered enough on her life. She's a wonderful person, and I'm sure she'll be happy to see you as a friend."
Katherine scoffs. "You just want me as her friend to ease the disappointment she'll soon feel."
The Tailor frowns, though her stomach twists in nervousness. Unfortunately, it is true. One of the reasons she wants Ms. Anya to befriend Alina is for the latter forget Genya when she enters the Second Army as a real soldier. It'll be painful to lose the Sun Summoner friendship, but it's a sacrifice she's ready to make if it means to be seen as a true Grisha.
"What do you mean?"
"The letters to Mal, of course. You didn't send them."
The redhead's heart sinks in fear. Fear of her to tell Alina and ruining her chances on the Second Army. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"You're a good liar... for those who doesn't see. Unfortunately for you, I see and know everything."
"I'll then repeat what I've said." She approaches the servant, close enough to seem threatening. "I. Don't. Know. What. You're. Talking. About."
Katherine raises an eyebrow, but nods. However, the Grisha doesn't see the slight quivering on her lips. But how could she? Just close friends or older people are able to notice Katherine's lies. Moreover, you can count on the fingers how many had discovered her plans before their execution.
It's difficult to catch a handler, especially, The Handler.
"Don't worry, Genya. Your secret is safe with me." She calmly walks to the door, but stops to face the Tailor again. "You'll be a terrific soldier."
────────── ★ ★ ★ ──────────
"Celtic Rituals", a female voice makes Agatha look up from the book she's reading. "You're as curious as you seem."
Her dark brown eyes widen when she sees Veronika with a warm smile. However, they widen even more at the realization that the redhead read the book cover, which means she knows Norse runes. Of course Agatha suspected since the beginning that Veronika wasn't truly what she says. If you take a quick glance, she's just an ordinary girl, but if you take a close look, you see that she's full of secrets, secrets that Agatha wants to discover. After all, the ginger woman seems familiar to her. Maybe she was part of her past.
"You know Norse runes, werewolves and Halloween. What more?"
She shrugs. "Uncountable things, though I'm not my family's brain."
Agatha chuckles. "There's someone smarter than you in your family?" She nods. "They must be a genius then."
"She is. Now—", the redhead approaches the dark skinned woman "why are you reading that?"
She pouts. "Knowledge. Curiosity. Attempt to unlock a memory. Take a pick."
Hope's heart clenches. Her cousin's trying to discover her past again and she can't help. If she does, the spell they'll do can affect Agatha's memory and that's not a risk any Mikaelson's willing take. Agatha has to remember naturally as much as possible.
Katherine's reading some books of the Little Palace's library, Levi and Nick are searching around Os Alta after some wizards, Michelle's paying attention on every corner of the palaces in hope of getting something useful. Unfortunately for Hope, she's just the bridge that links Agatha to her cousins. She can't do any research far from the Grishas. However, she can manipulate Agatha to remind things by mentioning tips of her past.
That lights a candle on Hope's brain, an idea popping in it. The ginger looks at Agatha again, seeing the similarities with her brother. It's impossible to look at the two and not notice they're siblings. So why not arranging a meet between them? Agatha could remember something if she sees Nick. The only thing she can't tell Agatha is his real name.
"You know, I feel kind today, so I'll tell you something."
She faces Hope with a frown. "What?"
The redhead analyzes the library to see if anyone's looking at them, then she leans forward and whispers on Agatha's ear: "There's a man that knows some things about the Supernatural community. Maybe he can help you."
"Who is it?"
"His name's Konstantin." She looks at her cousin deep in her eyes. "I can arrange a meeting, but you have to promise you won't tell anyone."
Agatha nods. "I promise. I need to know some things about myself, Veronika."
Hope gives her a sad smile. "I know, and that's why I'm helping you. I'll tell you the arranged place and time if I got the meeting. After all, he's a busy man."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Power busy people, darling."
The hybrid chuckles. "Thank you, Veronika. Really."
"Trust me, you don't have to thank me."
────────── ★ ★ ★ ──────────
Agatha's nervous. She's never been in Os Alta before, her only memories of Ravka are the palaces. A few friends invited her one day to go to the city, but she refused, wanting to read instead. However, the woman doubts those Grishas went to where she is now, the poorest part of Os Alta — though it doesn't seem that poor.
She looks at the bar Veronika told her. The placard is in Latin, which is an unusual language to be, but the writing bellow the bar's name is in Ravkan.
PRAECANTRIX
drinks, food and a lot of fun
"You own me one, Veronika", Agatha mutters before pulling the door open.
The environment is turbulent. A woman and a man play together an hectic song on the violin and there's a bet table on the darkest corner. There're waiters trying to not drop the drinks on the tray, some people relaxing after a long day while others are drunk or high, talking and singing with themselves. There're also couples on the dance floor shamelessly making out, kissing each others necks too, which will certainly leave hickeys. In every way possible, this is the opposite of the two palaces.
"He's there", a waiter stops in front of Agatha to point at the man on an empty table, away from the noise, but near enough to see everything.
The hybrid walks towards him, but stops when he faces her. All of her body freezes, including the heartbeats a the air on the lungs, a shivering runs through her spine, sending goosebumps all over her skin. For a minute, Agatha thought of poking herself to stop whatever dream she's having, but soon enough she realized that this is reality.
This is happening. But how?
The man is a male version of her. The same dark skin and brown eyes, tall with muscles and a defined jaw. Although his black hair is shaved, she's sure it'll appear curls like hers if he let it grow. Agatha's gaze finally pauses on the man's throat, where a huge scar lands. It seems made by a clawed animal — a wolf —, which must've almost ripped his throat apart.
Agatha has one like that on her chest. She'd saw it one day on the mirror and had tried to remember where did she get that. Her shot's that it was a wolf.
Maybe this man knows what scarred her like this.
"Ho— Veronika told me you were wanting answers." He says, trying not to be dragged by his emotions. After all, it's not easy to see your twin, pretend you don't know them and don't talk about the past.
Agatha sits in front of him. "What's with the scar?" Her eyes widen and heat flows on her cheeks after realizing she's said that out loud. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
The man chuckles, his eyes still on hers. "Wolf."
I knew it! "For your comfort, I have one too." She pulls the shirt's collar to show her scarred chest. "But I don't know what caused it."
He smirks. "It may be from a wolf too."
"Yeah." She clears her throat. "Where are you from, Konstantin?"
"United States", he takes a sip of his kvas. "Louisiana."
"I think I'm from there too! I mean, America."
"Really?"
"Yeah. My thoughts are all in American english, so it'd make sense to be from there."
Konstantin smiles, and for some reason Agatha mirrors him. The man tells her everything about his city, New Orleans: its beauty, history and legacy, cultural habits, how alliances between people are important... The woman listens to every part with a smile, her heart warming at the man's passion for the place. It must be a dream to live there.
"And the French Quarter... Ah!" He sighs with love.
Agatha curiously nods, eager to know as much as possible. "Tell me!"
"There's music everywhere. It's the most awesome part of New Orleans. You know why?" She shakes her head. "Because the Supernaturals' own it."
The woman almost spills her kvas. "What?!"
He chuckles at her shock. "It's exactly what you've heard."
"No way! This is... This is insane!"
Konstantin smiles. "Each part of the French Quarter belongs to a species. Only the main streets are everyone's, where there're goods from all kinds."
"There are no humans there?"
"Of course there are, but they don't know they're minority. There was a time when New Orleans attracted hunters, who tried to capture and torture Supernaturals for information." He sighs and faces her. "A lot of people died, Agatha, but they didn't want to give up the city. It was everything they've ever knew."
"And what happened?"
"The Supernaturals spread the word to the nearest covens, saying New Orleans would welcome everyone. If they couldn't stop the hunters to come, then they would outnumber them."
"Did it work?"
His smirk is devious. "Every hunter that stepped on there was mysteriously vanished. After a while, they stopped appearing." Agatha's jaw dropped. "A few humans went there to find a vampire or something, but when they left the city unharmed, people started to believe the Supernaturals are myths."
"So you use this on your favor to live in peace." Konstantin nods. "That's unbelievable! Amazing!"
His smile reach his eyes, not because Agatha found that fantastic, but due to the time he's spending with his sister. Nick can't describe the feeling of seeing and speaking to his twin again. It is as if he was finally in peace, the thoughts of her being in danger gone... for a while.
"You know, we celebrate Halloween there, if you want to go."
Agatha's dark brown eyes shine. "I'd love to. It must be the most mesmerizing celebration."
"I assure you it is." His heart clenches at the memories of them eating sweets and trying to scare their mothers. "We light candles all over the streets, make arts on pumpkins, pray for the living and dead world, eat candies... But the most fantastic thing of  Halloween is that we can be ourselves without fear, is the only night we can use our powers wherever we want."
"Veronika told me that."
He gives her a sad smile, fighting the tears threatening to leave his eyes. "I know."
Agatha finally stand up. "I gotta go. Thank you, Konstantin. It was really nice to meet you."
He follows her movements and stay face to face with her. "I loved meeting you too, Agatha."
"Can we see each other again? I wanna know more about the Supernatural."
"Sure."
The woman is surprised when the man suddenly hugs her, yet she retributes it. Something on her tells to never let him go, no matter what. Maybe Konstantin will be an important person on her life. It's a weird thought though, since she's just met the man, but she embraces the feeling. The man made her feel good after a long time, she was relaxed while talking and listening to him, her focus was just on him, it was as if there was no one else in the world but them.
Agatha must be mad, however, she's sure a strong connection was built the moment he hugged her.
"The moon is the key to everything", Konstantin says after separating them. "Don't hold your instincts while talking to it."
She nods. "I won't."
When the woman leaves the bar, heading to the Little Palace, Nick throws himself at a chair. He looks at the dance floor, where a few vampires drink blood from some humans' necks, then at the couple playing a fae song on the violin. Finally, he gazes the table on the darkest corner of the bar. People usually confuse it with a bet table, but he and all of Ravka's Supernaturals know that it's a tarot table, where witches read the tarot cards to predict the future.
Ravka is not only full of Grishas, with their small science. There are Supernaturals, full of magic, too. They don't practice their merzost in public, of course, but the little actions are the proof that they don't follow any "main" traditions. For example, everything in this poor area is in Latin, the universal language of magic.
A werewolf waiter comes to recoil the cups of kvas on Nick's table, and without facing her, he says: "Give me a bottle of vodka, please. I need something strong."

A/N: English is not my first language. I’m gonna mix the books and the tv show to make the story line clearer (I read soc, the grisha trilogy and its tales). I don’t own Shadow and Bone and TO/Legacies characters; they’re, respectively, Leigh Bardugo, L. J. Smith and Julie Plec. Also, this is how I think the Darkling is,and some of the events will be changed due to the story's course!
