#keris wants some help from the mums

[larkral]

Happy Wednesday! I've been writing! Thanks to @forabeatofadrum @emeryhall @nightimedreamersworld @artsyunderstudy @stitchyqueer @rimeswithpurple for tagging me today!

I've mostly been writing Holsom Timeloop, which I'm hoping to start posting in the next 2-3 weeks. And I've also been writing Simon's two mums, which at some point down the line I will post some of. Maybe I should post the first chapter and motivate myself by way of feedback. What say you?

Anyway, some mums up here, some timeloop and tags below the cut.

Simon POV:

"I just… do you think your mums would like… talk to me? About it? Like, how they knew." "Yeah. Of course. Do you want me to call them?"  "Maybe call, uh, Natalie? I feel like your other mum is too badass to ever have done something as common as realise she liked girls."  I laugh, then take my cell phone out of my pocket and press mum's face on the screen.  It rings.  It's a little bit cold out here. Keris shivers, and I shuck my blazer and hand it over to her.  "Simon, love, what's wrong?" Nothing's ever wrong, but mum especially always answers my calls in a panic—as though I'm calling to ask if it makes sense for me to go off and fight ogres or goblins or numpties. Which, to be fair, I did do a couple of times last year.  I had to fight with them to let me stay at Watford after that. And after the dragon. But nothing really bad has happened since [[redacted]]. There's only been that one time Goblins tried to get over the wall, and the time the worsegers tried to get under the wall. Otherwise it's been just school.  Though, you know, magic school, so it's hard to complain.

Holsom timeloop AKA Friday Prime:

He is in the kitchen, hoodie slung over a chair, two hot cups of Stop & Shop swill and a lottery ticket in front of him on the table.  "That's yours," he says, gesturing towards the second cup. "Coffee's shit, but the ticket's a winner."  "Mega millions?" "You got it. Put that somewhere safe."

On Helena: #1

Context: I am playing Helena in a Vampire, the Masquerade game. Setting is Boston, Necropolis, 2015. Helena is mortal, currently a ghoul to another player character (Klaxon). The player characters are Klaxon (Nosferatu), Elyas (Tremere), Keri (Gangrel), Garreth (Gangrel). Our DM is Gore. Some of this conversation will be edited out as I have done this to focus on Helena and her character.

Garreth OOC: -points to Helena- baby

Alex: Helena agreed, but is also aware Garreth is also baby, so it's like the same feeling you have for the baby sitter that's two years older than you are.

***

Gore: Garreth and Klaxon have to make it out alive as they went into it. But y'all split the party on me so I can't gaurantee that.

Alex: Helena will probably come rushing back. I don't think she will move in just due to how complex her plant/heat lamp set up is.

Gore: She could leave them with her plant dealer, Gus?

Alex: She could but it's like leaving your cat with your best friend. You trust them but that's your baby, and you will worry constantly.

***

Alex: She wouldn't cope well with Klaxon having monster sex- she heard something about him fucking a demon, and having also SEEN Necropolis...so she looks at her dorm and values the quiet.

Gore: He can't bring them topside, so Helena's safe.

Alex: I don't think she knows that.... but I do think she'd miss him then.Oh my god is she the mum friend? I think she is! "AT WHAT TIME DO YOU CALL THIS?? YOU DIDN'T TEXT ME I WAS WORRIED?". Either way, she's still on the fence about her dorm and I can't push her any which way.

***

Gore: Has she heard stories about how brutal U.S cops are?

Alex: No, she's pretty shut in. She came to America for study and books, so thats EXACTLY what she's doing.

Gore: She's not aware of the political climate of it?

Alex: No, she's one of those 'I don't read the news'

Gore: Aight

Alex: I never really thought about it but I guess she is autistic. The 'outside' world doesn't really interest her on a larger scale. She's more about tasks and interests. The only reason I'M not like that is because of my flavour of anxiety being worried that I'm not a good person. I think Helena's is more about just interacting with people and her routines. She DOES love the World and humanity, but she's much more of a fan of nature because she's always found it hard to connect with people. This doesn't mean she's NASTY, she's nice to everyone and wouldn't hurt a fly - she just simply doesn't understand things like racism/homophobia on an emotional level. Historically though, of course she does.

***

Gore: What happens if one of her friends gets hurt?

Alex: She's never had that problem before really. The best example so far is with Patrick (NPC)when she was like OH GOD OH NO. Her first thoughts were practical though "I have to find him and give him first aid or whatever I can do". She has her panic attacks but like when Klaxon had his she throws it out the window and focuses on what needs to be done. She wants to be useful, she wants to help if she's needed in a people situation. Those situations are rare though, she's always been in her own little world, her parents hoped she'd get better with this but she's managed so far.

***

Gore: What if (helping) gets her into more trouble?

Alex: Hm. I think she takes things as it comes. If she was an element, she would be Earth. She's not selfish, she weathers the storm as best she can. THAT attitude has got her into trouble though, as she's still learning to be like "I need sleep" and "I don't want this.

***

Gore: Sometimes the Earth gets shaken. Would she take a direct attack to defend one of her new friends or have one of them defend her?

Alex: Hm, she would take a hit. She is vaguely aware people usually need to defend her, and feels bad about it. She's still never really had friends though, so this is new...AND in her mind she can always patch them up - even if that isn't strictly true.

***

Gore: How far can she go w/o realising she needs to patch herself up?

Alex: I mean she rushed out the door to help someone else at MIDNIGHT. For comparison, I would call the authorities and get some sleep since I would be useless sleep deprived. Helena doesn't even really put that as her first thought because she hasn't had anyone to really rely on (aside from her parents) so she feels like she has to do everything herself. She is Very respectful of authority figures but doesn't expect them to solve her problems, even with her parents, she realises in their old age she can't rely on them anymore. As a result, I think she'd go pretty far because she KNOWS the body and how it works. She will always think she can take a little more, but in reality she can't predict the impact and just how hard the next hit will be.

***

Gore: So if her legs are gone, she would still crawl to others to heal them?

Alex: Oh yeah, if she can move and has bandages. If not, she would at least move to be with them. Helena would be happy to go and then come straight back if Klaxon told her to and if she was given a use. Go there and come straight back we need to you to X for this thing.

***

Gore: You are a Brit in Boston in 2015 I gotta say that as well...

Alex: She's been fine at Uni

Gore: Up until now

Alex: It's only been a day for her, she doesn't get that yet. At Uni she does largely what she's told if given a clear reason.

Gore: Yeah but here's the thing about med school. It is highly competitive and people are always looking for excuses to flunk people out.

Alex: True. But she is VERY GOOD at what she does. I imagine that does annoy others but also it's hard to be mad at her because she's quiet about it as well as sweet, lovely and helpful to most people she meets. She knows her place with people in general, and it is at the bottom.

Gore: Some Boston people would say that you belong in the harbour with the tea

Alex: and she would clam up and walk on by.

***

Alex: Teachers like her because she's polite, studies hard and is VERY earnest in what she does. Helena making a mistake is rare, so when it happens, some shit is going down.

Gore: It sure will be

Alex: She's going to have to rush in and lie to teachers, she won't like that at ALL. Helena is a good girl but she ain't saying shit about Necropolis. She doesn't fully understand why, but she feels it in her heart to shut up.

Gore: Why?

Alex: Klaxon said they've (kindred) been around forever and have functioned this way. The heart doesn't know the lungs exist but functions anyway, yet NEEDS those lungs. She isn't loyal to humanity like that, her interest lies in medicine and they (kindred) don't seem malicious, from what she's seen.

***

Gore: Wouldn't it be a great medical advancement to study those undead and cryptids?

Alex: Yeah, but not on a huge scale. She knows about medicinal cruelty. How many have been mutilated or hurt in the name of study? With the world as it is now, no. Sure, an ideal world in Helena's mind would be all species working and living together but she KNOWS that isn't going to happen.So she will study by herself, and she's fine with that.

***

Gore: If embraced, would she study herself

Alex: Yeah, absolutely.

Gore: To what degree?

Alex: Not to like 'remove arm' degree, she would do it as needed. Like when they test new skincare on humans "I put this swatch on to see how it works". Blood samples, skin samples, bone study - she would see if she could get books on anatomy for surgery and healing.

***

Alex: The idea of studying forever appeals to her, but the passage of time scares her. She's not ready to be a vampire but she might be if she lost all her connections on the outside. I don't think it would be healthy for her though.

The joy of a mortal life is that you (hopefully) realise eventually that you have to self actualise or you WILL DIE and things will be WRONG.

Gore: What value is your own health when there's injured people?

Alex: Exactly. But I don't think she'd be her own person, she'd dedicate her life to a cause.

***

Alex: She's still developing as a person

Gore: You can develop as a kindred, it happens.

Alex: I think she thinks she might get there (being a kindred) but not at the drop of a hat.

Gore: Funny thing about death, you aren't always ready for it.

Alex: I know that, and she knows that a little. But Klaxon said she could choose, and she would like to. When it comes to big decisions I think she's slow and deliberate, like a plant. She really doesn't like change all that much.

***

Gore: You can't trust those Tremere, they can and will sell you out or use you for a ritual.

Alex: She won't see it like that, she is individual by individual. Like with her plants. HER Aloe Vera is not like any other aloe vera if you look on a deeper level, which she does.

***

Gore: She wanted to be a war medic right, has she done any internships at that level?

Alex: Not yet. She wanted to do her degree first for the skills, learn as much as she could by the boos because it's not something you can or should wing.

***

Gore: Would she squee if she met a moss or grass person?

Alex: Probably. Absolutely. Maybe quietly. She would probably love to learn to help them if they get sick. In retirement I can see her as being the best GP ever. The nurse that gives you breathing room if you have needle anxiety. The doctor that believes you and gives you a refferal. She is GOOD and I love her.

Tell me you love me

Words: 5277 Daniel Seavey x reader Why Don’t We Italics is a memory

As soon as Daniels mum let him start dating at the end of Idol he had asked me on a date, we had been best friends since we were little so it was a shock but of course I reciprocated the feelings because hes the sweetest guy ever and i mean come on, he’s hot… The biggest shock was when we were 17 he decided to move to LA to start a band with some friends. 

“Hey babe you still coming over tonight?” Daniel asks through the phone.  “Yeah, I’m about to leave I’ll see you soon” I reply. We say our goodbyes and i hop in my car driving over to Daniels house. We were having a movie night. Over the phone Dani sounded quite nervous which makes me nervous as I don’t know why. I arrive at Daniels house and collect the bag of junk food I have before walking up the driveway. Before I can knock the door flies open and Daniels arms are wrapped around me. I gasp from the impact but wrap my arms around him to, pushing him back a little so we walk into the house. The door closes behind us and Keri comes out of the kitchen. She looks at me sadly Nd comes to give me a hug. 

“I’ve ordered you guys a pizza, stay as long as you want y/n” she smiles sadly rubbing my arm. I furrow my eyebrows but I see Daniel glaring at her. Her eyes widen and she takes him into another room. “Daniel James don’t you dare walk away from me” she grits when they emerge from the living room. I’d been in Daniels house a thousand times but I feel like a stranger standing awkwardly at the bottom of the stairs. “Mum just leave it, I’m going to sort it” he huffs grabbing my hand pulling me upstairs. When we get in his room he quickly pushes his lips to mine, I melt into him forgetting about everything that has just happened. He eventually pulls away breathing heavily, my hands are gripping the collar of his t-shirt tightly and his head is ducked. I take a moment to look around his room. 

For weeks I had noticed little things going missing but the room was practically empty. “Dani what’s going on?” I whisper making eye contact with him. He sighs and picks me up, laying me back on the bed dropping his head into my chest. “I’ve been avoiding telling you for weeks and I know your gonna be mad but please don’t shout at me” he whispers squeezing himself closer to me. He sounds like a little boy and my heart hurts hearing him in so much pain. I furrow my eyebrows when he asks me not to shout, we’d never really fought before and we were pretty chill about things so we never shouted. “Baby what’s wrong?” I frown getting really worried. “I’m moving to LA” he mumbles. “What” I choke out. He lifts his head to see the little trickles of tears skiing down my cheeks. “Baby no please don’t cry, this is why I didn’t tell you!” He panics wiping my tears, now sitting up. “When are you going? Why are you going?” I sigh. “Next Friday, and im starting a band” he replies twiddling his thumbs. My eyes widen and I jump off his bed backing away from him. His eyes flash hurt and he tries to move closer to him. “You’ve known about this for weeks and you didn’t tell me!” I say, my voice raising slightly. “What did you expect me to do? It’s no different, I couldn’t stand putting you through that” he huffs. “You’re putting me through it right now, if I had known I could have-” I pause trying to think.“ You could have what? There’s nothing you could have done to change my mind, why aren’t you happy for me” he yells desperately. “I am happy for you, this is all you’ve ever wanted. Music makes you happy and I know your going to make it big but I think it’s something we should have discussed. I could have come with you! Are you breaking up with me?” I yell back but as i go on my voice cracks and I start sobbing. I let him wrap his arms around me. “No. Princess, you make me even happier than music, I never want to leave you. But this is just something I got to do” he whispers. We fall to the floor sobbing in each others arms. 

There’s a knock at the door and Daniels mum comes in setting a pizza on Daniels bed. “Come on you two, get some food down you” she says holding her hands out to us. “I’m just going to go the toilet” I announce and they nod. I break down in his bathroom again letting it all out as quietly as I can. I press my forehead against the door for stability but I can hear Daniel and his mum talking. “I told you to tell her weeks ago. I’m really disappointed Daniel, you’ve absolutely broken her heart. Before she was your girlfriend you guys were best friends, you’ve always been together. You need to fix this. Now” she scolds. I wipe my eyes and don’t bother to make it seem like I hadn’t been crying because I was already crying before I came in here. I flush the toilet to make it seem like i went and emerge from the bathroom. Keri stands up and leaves shooting me another sad look. I see Daniel wipe away his tears and sigh, crawling up his bed into his lap. “I don’t like fighting with you” I mumble tracing shapes on his bicep. “Me either, can we agree not to fight again?” He asks and I nod. 

That night we finished our food and I ended up staying at Daniels house. I spent every waking moment up until he left, with him and goodbyes at the airport were extremely hard. “tell me you love me” I whisper with my arms around Daniels neck, standing on my tiptoes so our lips are inches apart.  “I love you, so much” he whispers nudging his nose into mine. I smile a little.  “I love you” I stutter out quietly. 

Our next notable argument was about the fact that he hadn’t called me. Now at first glance, it seems pathetic to get worked up about it but I had an awful day and we had slowly been talking less the weeks previous to that. 

“gold digger” “she’s only still with him because he’s gonna be famous” “you gonna run and tell your little boyband boyfriend that you have no friends?” “he’s only with you because he feels sorry for you, when he realises there are hundreds of prettier, skinnier, better girls. He’s gonna leave you” I hear them all say repeating in my head. I finally make it home and collapse on my bed. I look at the time and realise it was time for Daniel to call me. I wait around for a while and there’s no call so I decide to get in the bath. I’m relaxing when suddenly my ringtone goes off. I sigh and lean over to answer it. 

“hello?” I say.  “hey babe, its me” Daniel says and I sigh.  “why didn’t you call me when we agreed to?” I ask.  “I was busy.” he replies snarkily.  “seems like that’s all you say lately. Sorry babe I couldn’t call I was busy, sorry I didn’t text you before I was busy. I was busy before so I couldn’t face time” I round off.  “Are we seriously arguing about this? Its my job… Why are you being so annoying” He huffs and I gasp.  “Well if I’m so annoying I’ll hang up, save you the effort of doing so. I’m just trying to keep this relationship together but its hard considering you dont care and you put less than half the effort into it. I had a really awful day and I was excited to talk to you, since you don’t give a fuck I’ll just go” I rant and hang up the phone. He tries to call me back and I ignore it, throwing my phone on the ground and lay back in the back. I eventually get out and get dressed in my comfiest pj’s. After a while there’s a knock at the door. 

“come in” I call out.  “hey honey.” my mum says coming in. “so you had a fight with Daniel huh?” she hums. I turn to her confused. “when you wouldn’t answer his calls he got nervous so he called me. I explained to him what’s been going on. You should have just told him, and you should call him. He’s worried” she explains then pecks my forehead leaving again. I think for a moment and decide to just do it. 

“hello?” he answers.  “hey” I say quietly. “are you too busy to talk?” I ask biting my lip. I hear him sigh.  “that wasn’t a dig at you, genuinely. I get that its your job Dani, but it hurts when I feel as if you don’t care about me anymore. I mean whatever my mum told you…” I trail off.  “You should have told me what was going on, baby, seriously listen to me right now. There is nobody on this earth that I could want more than you, I’m not going to find someone else, I promise. Tell me you love me.” he whispers.  “Dani I-”  “please” he chokes out.  “I love you Daniel” I mutter letting a tear fall.  “And I love you, with all my heart. Please just trust me” he pleads.  “Dani I do trust you. I just feel like you’ll get bored of me, or lonely because we’re apart. I can’t afford to visit you, exams are coming up soon and I need to study. Sometimes I wish you hadn’t of gone” I admit feeling selfish.  “I know” he replies. “I don’t mean it in a bad way. I love that you have this opportunity, I just miss you”  “I miss you too. I’ll be home for christmas, then graduation” he informs me and I perk up.  “I’ll be counting down the days” I giggle. 

“Daniel we need to go bro” I hear someone say in the background.  “can you give me a second” he says back.  “Daniel its ok. Go. I’ll speak to you tomorrow” I say..  “Are you sure?” he asks.  “positive” “You’re not mad?”  “Go!” I laugh.  “Fine. Speak to you tomorrow. Night gorgeous”

Graduation came around soon enough and I was ecstatic to see Daniel since by then, I hadn’t seen him since Christmas. He had been moaning for months about how much he missed me in LA so I had arranged everything and as part of his graduation present, I was moving to LA with him. During the time he was away and with the help of Christina i had started YouTube. It grew easier to ignore the girls at school and eventually they gave up. Dont get me wrong I had I had other friends beside Dani and they were all devastated we had graduated, with mostly everyone going to different universities and me moving to LA. I was going to attend school there while I carried on YouTube.

“Hey Dani, can I give you your present now?” I say while both our families were at dinner together to celebrate. He smiles and turns to me. I look at both our parents and they look so excited. I hand him an envelope and his eyebrows furrow, he opens it then starts reading the letter. He takes out my plane ticket and looks back up at me with his mouth dropped. His mum was filming it and he turns to her. “You knew?” He asks raising his eyebrows. “We all did, who do you think helped her pack” Anna laughs. He hadn’t yet made any movement and I get a little worried. “Are you happy?” I mutter scooting closer to him. “Is this actually for real? Are you genuinely coming? It’s not a prank?” He asks dumbfounded. I shake my head and he jumps up pulling me with him hugging me tight. He backs away keeping one arm around my shoulders, his hand resting on the back of my neck. With the other hand he covers his face and starts crying. “Baby don’t cry” I laugh and everyone else does too. I pull him closer and he nuzzles into me. “Sorry I just miss you so much when I’m away and now I get to see you whenever I want” he chokes out pulling me into him connecting our lips. Everyone oohs and people around the restaurant had noticed and started clapping. We grin and when we sit downDaniels arm is firmly wrapped around my waist holding me as close as possible as we eat. 

I fly out a couple days after Daniel to make sure I had everything packed so we say goodbye at the airport and it’s not as emotional as the last few times. “So I’ll see you in two days” I grin. “Yeah” he breathes. “I’ll meet you at the airport. I can’t wait for you to meet the boys in person” he smiles. “Me too, see you later” I hum pecking his lips. He kisses back forcefully and I laugh pulling away. “Go before you miss your flight!”

Two days later and I had just landed at LAX, I had been texting Daniel but he was replying. I had sent most of my stuff ahead of time and the boys had put it in my apartment so I grabbed the small suitcase I had and head out the airport, grabbing an Uber and heading to the boys house instead of my apartment. I bang on the door when I get there. The door swings open and Daniel is standing there in sweatpants and a jumper. His eyes widen and he looks at the time. 

“I’m so sorry” he gasps. “I’ve been at the airport waiting for you for ages.You’re not even dressed” I frown. “I’m sorry, I was writing a new song and I didn't realise what time it was” he explains. “How could you forget? Do you even want me to be here?” I huff. “Oh here we go. Of course I want you here!” “What does that mean?”“You always turn things into a drama, your overreacting.” “I’m overreacting? You forgot about me! I was at the airport alone. You should have been there” I mutter. “Can you just drop it,you’re here now and I don’t want to argue the first day we have in our new life” he sighs and tries to take my hand. I pull away and cross my arms. He lets out a breath. “Come on, be mad at me all you want but I’m gonna drive you over to your apartment,” he says. I accept his offer and it’s completely silent. 

When we get to the apartment I sigh. “I just want to sleep but I need to put my bed up” I complain and Daniel stays silent, and I see a hint of a smile. I ignore it and unlock the door. When I walk in I gasp and take a step back hitting into Daniels’ chest with my hand over my mouth. He laughs and wraps his arms around my shoulders pecking me on the side of my head. He walks into me slightly so we can enter the apartment. “You dick” I cry out and he laughs along with the four other boys standing in front of us with various tools and boxes scattered around them. They had completely decorated my apartment and put mostly everything in the boxes, away.“I purposefully missed picking you up at the airport to surprise you, now you don’t have to worry about unpacking. We’ve done it for you” Daniels smiles as I turn around and pull him down into a kiss. “Woah, that’s so strange seeing Daniel with a girl” Jonah hums and we break apart. The boys and I look at each other for a second before we all run into a group hug. I had spoken to the boys many times over the phone and stuff and we often text back and forth as Daniel gave them my number. “Yo guys, you can’t steal my girlfriend” Daniel calls out and we break away from our hug. I turn to Daniel and he’s pouting. I roll my eyes playfully and stroll over o him. His hands are in his pockets so I wrap my arms around his neck. “Tell me you love me” he whispers, still pouting. I peck his lips and then whisper back that I love him. He smiles and makes a sudden action, picking me up bridal style. “Uhm guys, do you want us to leave?” Zach asks scratching his eyebrow. “No it's fine” I say at the same time Daniel says “yes please”. 

In reply they just smirk and collect their things before leaving. “Thank you!” I shout after them, though I doubt they heard me as Daniel was already walking me to the bedroom. “Are you sure you’re tired?”  “not anymore” I smirk. 

After a couple months of living in LA I had reached one million subscribers and was nearly on my way to 2. The boys and I had gotten extremely close. They’re just like my brother’s. It was a hot day and we decided to take a dip in the pool. 

Jack and I were in the pool playing around when Zach joined us. Eventually all the boys joined us minus Daniel who was sitting on a deck chair. I frown and go over to his side of the pool. “Are you ok? You not coming for a swim?” I ask, he just rolls his eyes and huffs pushing his chair back roughly as he stands up and storms inside. I look at the boys confused and they shrug. I sigh and wrap myself in a towel going to find Daniel. I find him in his bedroom laying on his bed on his phone. “What was all that about?” “It doesn’t matter” “It matters to me” “Go ask one of the boys” he snarls and I realise. “Are you jealous?” I laugh. “ I just wish you wouldn’t flirt with all my friends right in front of me” he shrugs going back to his phone. “What are you even talking about?” I groan. “You basically have no clothes on and you’re all over the boys, you haven’t paid any attention to me all day!” He yells. “Daniel, are you being serious right now? Am I supposed to wear a snowsuit in the pool? And do you honestly believe I would cheat on you, especially with one of the boys? Specifically, do you think any of the boys would do that to you? If you genuinely believe I would do that to you I don’t think you know me at all” I scream. “I love you Dani, so much. Tell me you love me too” I plead. “Of course I love you” he sighs tiredly. “I was just jealous. I know there will be someone more talented than me or more attractive that can scoop you up at any moment and I don’t want to lose you” he admits. “There will never be anyone better than you. Why would you even think like this? do you even realise how talented you are? Dani, you play like 72 instruments and your voice is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard. It literally gives me chills. And seriously, can we just talk about how attractive you are? Dani, believe me you’re hot” I smirk walking up to him, laying my hand on his abs as he was still shirtless from laying by the pool. He bites his lip and wraps his arms around me, laying them on my ass. “I’m serious. I dont think I’ve ever saw somebody as attractive as you and I count myself lucky to be with you everyday because theres more of a chance you’re going to get scooped up. As far as I’m concerned you won’t ever lose me” I say and he smiles. He brings our lips together.  “Im sorry” he apologises.  “Its ok” I reply. “I’m sorry for making it seem like I was flirting with the boys, I literally think of them as brothers its kind of gross you’d think that” I snort and he laughs. 

“I hear laughter are you two done fighting?” Jack shouts upstairs.  “Yes” I shout back through my laughter as Daniel had placed his lips to my neck.  “are you smashing again?” Corbyn asks. I blush as Daniel replies with.  “Just give us 20 minutes” 

I start thinking about our arguments as I’m getting ready for an music award show. I had been invited as a youtuber but I was also attending as Daniels girlfriend. 

Someone knocks on the bathroom door as I’m finishing applying my lipstick. I yell that they can come in and before I know it warm arms are wrapped around me. I look in the mirror and grin at Daniel. He starts placing kisses on my exposed shoulder and neck and I close my eyes leaning back against him. 

“You look so beautiful” he whispers. I open my eyes and his smile widens.  “You look really handsome yourself, I’m so lucky” I whisper back admiring his outfit. He tightens his grip on my waist then lets go of me. He backs away and then Zach sticks his head in. “cars here guys” he informs us and we nod following him out the door. We join up with the boys, Logan and Christina who had flown over after receiving her own invitation, so coming to visit Corbyn was just a bonus for her. 

When we arrived at the red carpet we separated from the boys so they could go do their interviews as a band, Logan split off with his team so Christina and I made the executive decision to stick together. We take a couple single shots for the paparazzi then join up together. We head over to one of the interviewers and start chatting. 

“Hello girlies. A little birdy told me you two came with your boyfriends?” she grins and we do too.  “uh yeah, super excited to see them” Christina nods.  “Yeah, you live in New York right? How do you do the long distance thing?”  “Yeah how do you do that?” I laugh. “If I were away from Dani for that long I’d go insane. I’m actually kind of missing him right now” I say and the interviewer nods.  “I think we’re just used to it. We talk all the time on the phone, facetime, texting… and it just makes it extra special when we finally get to see each other again.” Christina smiles and my heart melts.  “Goals” I pout at the camera and she hits me on the arm. “If you want to see couple goals her and Daniel are the cutest” she laughs.  “Oooh yes, Daniel, they’re in the same band aren’t they?” the interviewer asks looking at me for confirmation and I nod. “How did you two meet?”  “Well its going to sound like the cheesiest and most cliche thing ever but we’ve been friends since we were little and then one day we came to the conclusion that we had mutual feelings for one another and we started dating. We’ve been together nearly 3 years now” I explain.  “Wow that’s a long time for a young couple!” she exclaims and I nod.  “Look at her face, she’s so in love” Christina snorts and that moment I feel someone press a kiss to my cheek and turn to see Dani running back over to the boys. I blush even harder than before and they make jokes about it before we talk about youtube briefly before moving on. We eventually finish press and head inside to our seats. The boys are already there and they stand up when they see us. They let us past and we sit down, soon enough the show starts. 

We end up meeting lots of celebrities and a couple fans. At one point Christina and I had shed our heels and were dancing to the music with Taylor Swift and Vanessa Hudgens. The boys recorded the entire thing and at one point we had been filmed for TV and the jumbo screens. When the show ends we head to an after-party at Logan’s house. I assume to stick by Daniel’s side but as soon as we get there he ditches me. I frown as he makes his way over to a couple people who I assume he knows by how he greets them. I look at Corbyn and he had his arms wrapped around Christina introducing her to people. I furrow my eyebrows and head to the kitchen to get a drink. 

I’m alone for a while until I see some youtube friends. They make their way over and I hug them. We end up going for a dance in the living room. After a little while I decide to head outside for a bit of fresh air, nobody else is outside until I feel arms wrap around me and I grin and turn around wrapping my arms around their neck. My eyes widen and I immediately step back. The boy smirks and leans down to my ear. 

“Glad you’re happy to see me, I saw you dancing and couldn’t help myself” he laughs wrapping his arms around my waist. I cringe and try to pull his arms away from me.  “Please leave me alone. I have a boyfriend” I inform him but he just laughs.  “yeah right. Come on we can have some fun” he says leaning down again to kiss my neck. I squirm against him and let a tear drop when he starts reaching under my dress. 

All of a sudden he’s ripped away from me.  “When she says she has a boyfriend, she means it” Daniel growls with the boys behind him. I let out a choked sob and run into Christina’s arms. She wraps her arms around tightly as I cry into her. Daniel looks at me and his eyes flash hurt, before they turn to anger looking back at the boy.  “You’re her boyfriend?” he snorts and Daniels eyes squint.  “Yeah I am”  “unfortunate for you babe” he says looking at me. I let out a little whimper when Daniels fist connects with his face. The boys pull him away.  “Don’t you ever touch MINE or any girl like that again, she asked you to stop you ignorant twat” Daniel shouts but the boys drag him through the house, into the front where we call an uber. While we are waiting Daniel takes me from Christinas arms and wraps his arms around me. We get in the uber and head home. The boys go to the living room to just chill for a second despite it being late and Daniel leads me to the kitchen. 

“I can’t believe I had to save you from some douche” he groans. I frown.   “Why did you leave me tonight?” I whisper. I see Daniel roll his eyes.  “I had stuff I had to do”  “You left me” I huff.  “You’re not a puppy you’re capable of looking after yourself. Well, no actually. Apparently not” he says raising his voice.  “It wasn’t my fault” I whisper. “Its never your fault” he yells and my eyes widen. I realise I’m not going to have a calm conversation with him so I roll my eyes walking into the living room, sitting next to Jonah and starting to remove my heels. “Don’t walk away from me!” Daniel shouts following me into the room. The boys eyes widen but the can’t leave the room so they stay put awkwardly. 

“What am I supposed to do Dani? All you do lately is yell at me. I had no control over what happened tonight, it wasn’t my fault. He came on to me and I tried to make him stop” I huff angrily standing up.  “You shouldn’t have led him on then. I saw you dancing, it wasn’t exactly innocent.”  “Well you weren’t around the whole night.”  “I was catching up with people”  “Corbyn was too, but he brought Christina with him and introduced her, it really feels like you’re embarrassed to be seen with me”  “I’m not” Daniel frowns. By now we had completely forgotten about the guys watching us.  “Dani we’ve been together 3 years, I think it’s cruel to keep leading me on if you want to be with someone else you’ve got a whole sea of fans to choose from” I sigh.  "I don’t want to pick anyone else, I  want you” He whimpers holding my hand. “Don’t you know you’re it for me. Everything I need is standing in front of me, I don’t know who I am without you I don’t know what I’m living for if I’m living without you” he admits.  “Tell me you love me” I whisper rubbing my hand against his cheek.  “I love you so much” he whispers and walks over to Jack holding his hand out. 

“Daniel are you serious?” Jonah’s eyes widen. I look at Christina and she shrugs, the boy’s eyes are all wide. Daniel nods and Jack hands him something,my eyebrows furrow.  “I really think its time” Daniel says and the boys nod looking kind of giddy. Daniel pulls a ring out and my eyes widen, shaking my head vigorously.  “Daniel no, we’re too young, I’m flattered but…” I trail off.  “Its not what you think” Daniel laughs and so do the boys. “I love you so much, I’ve known you my entire life and you’ve been with me through everything. I know we’re young and I’m really not ready for marriage but I do know that one day it ill be you that I marry. So I want to give you this promise ring to show you that I will always be yours no matter what, and I want to be yours eternally. I promise that one day I will propose, but all I can do for now is love you” he says. My eyes well up with tears and I stick my left hand out, he slips the ring on my ring finger and I smile wide, imagining it being on my other hand and being engaged to Daniel. I throw my arms around his neck.  “I love you so much Daniel, you don’t understand” I cry out.  “Damn, Daniel is smooth” Christina chokes out laughing a little. We pull away and see her wiping her eyes. “Goals” she winks referencing our interview earlier on. I roll my eyes and wrap my arms around Daniels waist, pulling his shirt out of his pants so I could place my hands up it and on his bare back, something I’ve done since we started dating, for comfort I guess, feeling his bare skin against mine calmed me down. The boys had gotten used to it by now so they don’t make any dirty remarks like they used to. Dani smiles when he feels me pulling his shirt out and just leans down to peck my lips. 

“Are you two gonna smash again?” Zach groans. In reply Daniel smirks and scoops me into his arms, rushing upstairs.

A Glance at the Sun

Mass Effect Andromeda Fic - Camille Ryder x LIam Kosta - Pre-relationship  Here is my take on the first Christmas in Andromeda for Camille. Hope you enjoy!

Morale among Initiative staff had been on an upward trend, and nothing could keep that going like a big holiday party. With that in mind Addison had suggested that the station celebrate the Earth holiday of Christmas. The timing was perfect. She hoped that a party would demonstrate the good that could come from supporting the Initiative. Tann however announced the celebration was “In honor of the Human Pathfinder and her recent accomplishments.”

She knew what being manipulated was like, and this was definitely it. Forcing her to be involved to help boost morale put more strain on her, and she was quite frankly tired of “Eight” yanking her around when she had important leads to follow. Camille wanted to call bullshit, and take her crew elsewhere, but couldn’t bring herself to do it. The Salarian’s scheming aside, Ryder was astonished by the decor and lights squirreled away in personal -and even official - Nexus supplies. Overnight the station workers transformed the place to look like a proper winter wonderland. With her team, and so many others, excited with the prospect, she didn’t have it in her to deny them the chance to let loose.

Instead of having the mother of all tantrums, hiding in her room with corney holiday vids, she found herself watching the festivities from Addison’s office. With any luck people would forget she was around, and she could slink back to the Tempest. One hand gripping the glass barrier, she sipped whatever beverage Dutch was calling wine, and attempted to avoid eye contact with everyone. Her plan backfired quickly as a slightly tipsy -and very handsy- Keri T’Vessa found her. Her normally professional friend had obviously drank a little too much, and was a decidedly friendly drunk.

Ryder broke free, ushered her into Hakim’s waiting arms, and rushed to the Operation’s balcony. She was flustered and blushing profusely. She knew Keri would be mortified by the interaction once sober. Smoothing out her dress, she tucked her hair behind her ear and took the opportunity to survey the area. Gil had commandeered a table, and set up an impromptu game of poker. By the look on his face, she believed he was already making a killing. Vetra was not far away, talking shop like always. She smiled to herself, the idea of the Turian taking a night off was too amusing.

Drack held court, pretending to hate the attention he was getting. Nexus Security -especially the humans- pleading for war stories and tips from the grizzled war veteran. She attempted to look casual as she glanced his way. Pretending not to be looking for anyone specific, but knowing full well that if Liam was going to be anywhere, it was near Drack. Despite their squabbles, Drack won him over with his tough love attitude that didn’t fool anyone.

She would never admit to actively keeping tabs on Liam. She toyed with the idea of confessing how she felt about him, but shoved the idea back down time and time again. Getting caught up in his teasing and flirting happened far too often. When she stepped back, silent witness to his interactions with others, she doubted that he saw her as anything special. He had a natural ease and charm, a disarming smile, and no shortage of admirers.  Ryder really had no interest in seeing him be the life of the party, no interest in playing savior of the galaxy while nursing a broken heart. Especially since he had done nothing but show her kindness.  She would never accuse him of leading her on, however, she allowed herself to rush into infatuation faster than she previously assumed possible.

Glutton for punishment that she was, she scanned the room for him, heart plummeting when she didn’t find him. She was being an idiot. Why could she handle fighting Kett, playing diplomat, and general Pathfinding, but she couldn’t talk to a guy? A very goofy guy. Hell, she could do this. She tossed her drink back, downing her mostly full glass in one go, and stopped by the makeshift bar. Shared a pointed look with Anan T’Mari, and reached behind the counter, helping herself to a bottle of alcohol. If she was going to speak to the object of her affections, tell him she was falling madly in love with him, she was going to need more courage than she had at present. Of course, her entire plan hinged on Liam being somewhere she could find him. Should she inquire about him? That wouldn’t be unusual, right? Just looking in on her squadmates, nothing that anyone could take out of context…

Like a sign from the universe, Drack appeared next to her at the bar, ordered something strong, and grumbled. “What’s got you looking like a jumpy little pyjak?”

“I don’t… what do you mean? Nothing going on here, just relaxing, hanging out….chilling.” She cringed internally, did she actually say that aloud?

He laughed, a deep rumble, and gave her a pat on the back, “Is being uncomfortable part of this Christmas of yours? The boy looked a little green, too.”

“Liam’s not feeling well?” she asked, quickly feigning plucking at imaginary lint; fighting to appear nonchalant, but the urge to bolt making her skin itch.

“Mmmhmm,” Drack grunted his assent, pausing to drink, “he got this queasy look about him like a bronto kicked him in the quad.”

“That doesn’t sound good. Maybe someone should go check on him?”

“Probably.”

“So…I should go.”

“Not stopping you, kid.”

“Ok…right. I guess I’ll do that.” Camille grabbed for her pilfered alcohol, two glasses, and walked quickly to the tram, happily leaving the Christmas party behind.

**

Liam stalked to the Tempest. The artificial air of the Nexus only slightly cooler than the interior area hosting the party. The bodies packed together had done nothing to settle his nerves. He would be lying if he hadn’t thought of trying to get Camille alone at some point, hoping to use the crowd in his favor. Maybe casually drop how pretty she looked, even if that didn’t come close to describing what he felt. When she first stepped on stage with Tann, his heart had damn near stopped. She wore a cream tulle skirt that hit her knees, and a burgundy long sleeve sweater. The heels on their own were enough to send him into shock. Sure, Ryder always looked good. She was fighting fit, got dirty on missions, and filled out the armor. But seeing her in a dress, all shapely legs, and hair curling around her neck, had him reeling.

When did everything go all pear shaped? He was standing around, trying to be obvious, in case she was looking to talk to him. Or making sure he would see her first in case some other bugger tried to talk her up. He didn’t count on the damn Asari. Were they snogging and he hadn’t noticed? That didn’t seem right, and the gossip mongers would have caught wind if she was in a relationship. Even struggling to survive, people loved their tabloids.

Inside the ship, he wandered a bit, not quite sure what to do. The quiet of the ship never settled right with him. Thoughts came unbidden, and when he had time to think, he realized how much he missed. Everything he lost, and most of it gone for good. He rolled up his sleeves, and took a good look around. Camille had a fake Christmas tree set up in the hangar bay. She begged them all to help her decorate it. Some weird team building kick she was on. Ryder had been so cute and hopeful, he had volunteered to help, even though everyone else said no.

It took them three hours. The lights had been easy, some multi colored strand she got from the Nexus. The hard part had been coming up with ornaments. They ended up using strange bits of things - cereal box pieces tied with string for Vetra, playing cards for Gil, shiny rocks for Suvi. All random ridiculous items for each member of their mixed up crew. Liam lay on the floor and stuck his head under the tree. He stared up at the lights, squinting his eyes, watching them blur. He had done it often as a kid. Mum had shown him, told him it was her favorite part about the tree. Lights shimmering, ornaments reflecting light, quiet and calm.

“Is there room for one more under that tree?”

He closed his eyes, he knew her voice like the melody of his favorite song, and damn if it wasn’t the best thing he’d heard all night. “Course, always room, Pathfinder.” She had been walking towards him, but he could see her now bare feet pause mid stride. She always hesitated when he used her title. He felt like such an arse at times. Not knowing what made him use the title. She had a name, had asked him to use it once, but it always felt wrong. Like he wasn’t respecting her somehow.

She set her shoes down on the floor, and slid next to him. Shoulder to shoulder, hands nearly touching, hair spilling around her like a halo,  it was certainly the closest they had been out of armor. Liam swore he could feel the heat of her, the scent of roses and jasmine pulling him closer than appropriate. God he was in love, and she didn’t have a clue what effect she had on him. Probably thought he was a replacement brother since hers was out of commission. “This is a great spot for a party, sorry if I’m crashing it,” she finally said breaking the silence that had fallen around them.

“No worries, Camille. I just…that was a bit much for me. Room full of people, guess I’ve gotten used to being on the Tempest out in space.”

She sighed, and rubbed a hand up and down her arm, “Yeah, I get it. Things have been different. Not what I expected at any rate. It’s exhausting being Pathfinder. I wish…”

Liam turned his head to look at her, “Alright?”

She let out a half laugh, “It’s stupid isn’t it. Mom and Dad both gone, I don’t have a clue if Scott will ever wake up, and it’s the first Christmas in Andromeda. I’m not the only person that’s missing family, but I feel so alone.” Her voice cracked and Liam reached over for her hand, holding it tightly in his own. “Everyone wants something from me, and I can’t stop thinking about what I would be doing if we hadn’t left Earth.”

He knew, knew exactly how that felt, and damn if having first hand knowledge didn’t make his heart break for her even more. “Tell me,” he offered voice a little rough with emotion. “What else did you get up to? Bet you were a right piece. Your poor mum having to deal with two of you.”

She laughed, genuinely this time, amber eyes dancing with mischief mingled with unshed tears. “Oh we did all the normal things like rummaging through mom’s closet to find presents early. We still did that, even though we were grown. Sang along terribly while we watched Muppet Christmas Carol on repeat. Mom baked, amazing and delicious things, and always let us lick up the batter.” She went quiet for a moment, then continued in a whisper, “I’m such a jerk.”

“What’s that? I don’t follow.”

“Here I am whining like a brat, and you are probably suffering more.” She rolled out from under the tree, skirt puffing up hiding her legs, making her look like a mermaid in ocean foam. She tugged at his hand, pulling him along with her. She smiled, huge and unguarded, and if he had thought she was beautiful before, he had been very wrong. Seeing her true smile was like stealing a glance at the sun, bright and warm. She set him on fire from the inside out. Picking up a bottle of wine, and waving it in his face she supplied, “I swiped this from the bar, I’m going to drink it all, are you going to make me do it alone?”

“Hell no, Ryder. Pour away.” He watched her face as she concentrated on filling each glass to the brim, tossing him a grin when she achieved her goal. They clinked their glasses together, then Liam leaned over voice soft and said, “I have Muppet Christmas Carol on vid, and I’ll share my comfy couch.”

“This is why you are my favorite man in the universe,” she squealed kissing him soundly on the cheek. He sat dumbstruck as she stood and began to walk out, leaving her shoes behind. She looked over her shoulder, eyebrow raised and asked, “You coming?”

“Wouldn’t miss it, Ryder.” He scrambled up, trying not to spill his drink, hoping there might be something between them after all. He wouldn’t press it tonight, only a sod would take advantage of a woman’s loneliness, but he would tell her soon. He wasn’t fool enough to let her slip away.

Wanted: violin lesson by simonandtyrannus

I’m an idiot, and absolute idiot. I wonder what people are thinking about me as I’m walking down my street, holding a stack of posters, frantically passing them out. I wouldn’t do it if I wasn’t desperate. If my carers find out that they haven’t in fact been paying for violin lessons and instead have been funding my unhealthy addiction to Yankee candles. I’m dead.

Someone new watches Trixies art stream. Keris distracts herself from the cocky kid who can't take a hint. First Chapter | Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

{ Gaaah! I keep posting chapters late, sorry! Also this chapter isnt really the best lmao i hate it but at least im giving you some new characters haha }

[ Trixie ] I get a text from one of my "Snowbaz Correspondents." Philippa lives in the same town as Agatha, Penelope, and Simon. It's an attachment, so I have to wait a bit for it to download. When I open it, I see Agatha walking with a man. I let out a squeal when I recognise him. Keris is sitting at our table reading, and looks over at me, so I rush over and show her the picture. "Is that..." "It is!" I smile brighter at her, and she smiles back. "Does this mean the rumours are true, then?" "Keris, we have to go. I can't miss this and you know it." She leans over to kiss my cheek, and I giggle softly. "I already bought them when Agatha posted that she'd be going. I figured that you would want to see her, Penny, and Simon together before she moves." I respond by climbing into her lap and saying "thank you" in between kisses.

[ Keris ] We only break because I have classes. I go to school at West Herts College. My favourite class is Creative Writing, which I am heading to now. I have Interior Design directly after. I walk in a few minutes early, and Professor Salisbury is sitting at her desk, reading Attachments. She's told the class that we're allowed to call her by her first name, Lucy, but doing that just makes me feel awkward. I set my stuff down at my desk, and she looks at me, that bright smile of hers quickly forming on her face. "Keris, may I speak with you for a moment?" I feel my heart beating faster as I nod, walking over to her. (I always get anxious when professors ask to talk to me. I know I shouldn't be, especially with her, but I can't help it.) "What is it, Professor?" She shakes her head, but knows by now that I won't call her Lucy. She opens a drawer and pulls out a flyer, handing it to me. "Watford Area Arts Forum Literature Competition." She says. "You want me to enter?" She nods, slowly. "Only if you want to, of course. This years theme is Magic, and the word limit is 500 words. I feel like you'd do well, so good luck!" "Thanks..." I say, shoving the flyer in my back pocket. I quickly head back to my seat, just as Salem walks in. Fucking Salem. I swear, he's only taking this class to torture me. Thankfully, Professor Salisbury starts the class before he can say anything about the lipstick on my neck.

[ Trixie ] I'm chatting with my friends and drawing in my stream, when I notice a new username in the chat list. I blink a few times, and then rub my eyes. It's Penny! Wow. Simon Snow's best friend is in a Snowbaz Art Stream. I mean, it's no secret that she ships them. But I never imagined that she'd come to one of my streams! I have to hold back a squeal- my mic is on, and so is my video. Okay, Trixie. Play it cool. "Is it just me," I say, "Or is the great Penelope Bunce, Simon Snow's best friend, watching my stream?" I look over at the chat.

pennyforyourthoughts: Oh hey, you caught me.

I smile, softly. But really, I'm screaming on the inside. I feel myself getting nervous, and I make a few mistakes on my current drawing. I decide to work on it later- it's a big project thing, anyway. Instead, I pull up a drawing meme and ask for suggestions.

QueenElspethTheFourth: Draw Simon in e3!

I chuckle a bit. "What am I going to do for the baby, then?"

mintygreenwithenvy: lmao make a snowbaz lovechild QueenElspethTheFourth: Oh my god, yes. DO IT.

I laugh again, but give in to their demands. I draw the quick doodle, giving the baby blue eyes, curly black hair, and freckles. It's so adorable, I have to save and post it later. I save the image, but I can't figure out what to call it. I type 'Simon and', before pressing my brows together in frustration. "What should I name her?" I ask, but the chat grows silent. "Come on guys, she needs a name!"

pennyforyourthoughts: I just had the best idea. pennyforyourthoughts: What if you name her Natasha Scone Snow-Pitch?

"Oh my god!" I can't help but giggle. "That's so cute, oh my god." I type in the name, and save it. "How'd you come up with that?"

pennyforyourthoughts: Natasha was Baz's mum, yeah? He told me once that he wants to name someone after her. mintygreenwithenvy: aw, thats so sweet!! pennyforyourthoughts: And giving his kid the middle name 'Scone' is definately something Simon would do, lmao. QueenElspethTheFourth: Imagine Simon trying to tell everyone that her first name is Cherry. pennyforyourthoughts: There's a 500% chance that he would do that. Yes, good.

"This is so beautiful, I'm gonna cry..." I say, as I dramatically pretend to wipe a tear from my eye.

[ Keris ] I might enter that competition, actually. It'd be good practice- I don't write about magic often. And those tickets did cost a lot of money. I could use the extra cash. Although, I'm not very good at word limits. When I start writing something, I write and I write and I write. When I'm done writing, it's two or three times that length. "Daydreaming again, ain't cha?" I sigh, suddenly remembering I'm in class. "Can't blame you, Miss Lucy is ridiculously boring." I turn around to face him, he's getting on my nerves again. "Then why are you even taking her class?" "'Cause I'm a generous guy, and I know you can't get enough of me." I roll my eyes and turn back to the front. "It's more like I always get too much of you." "Keep telling yourself that, babe." I know he's wearing that stupid grin of his- I can practically hear it form on his face. He continues to try and talk to me throughout class, but I ignore his efforts. Instead, I think about Trixie. She's probably livestreaming right now. I think that's all she does at home. Either that, or watching videos on YouTube. I've been thinking about starting a channel, actually. But I'm not sure what I would do on it. I'm a quiet person, so I wouldn't really vlog. I don't play video games or do make up. And I can't sing- Trixie says I sing beautifully, but I don't really think so. The only things I really love are Writing and Trixie, but I don't know how I can possibly share that on film.
