Tagged by @glintglimmergleam for a fun ask meme. Sorry it took me a minute, my notes have been a mess 😭 Also, not the "regrettably, s2" given the Penthony situation! A sentence full of tragedy.
Last Song: "abcdefu (angrier)," GAYLE
Relationship Status: very single, but pretty happy about it these days. Even a year ago that would've felt impossible. Feels good to get here. 💚😊💚
Sweet/Spicy/Savory: I used to think savory, but I'm starting to notice that it's really about balance for me. Like I have to even them out? I do think, because I find things too sweet quite often, I probably do prefer the other two.
Favourite color: Green! All shades, though I definitely prefer any shade that feels alive. Doesn't seem to be dependent on tone, just a feeling. My room is mostly shades of green, at this point.
Last Movie: oh geez, this really made me reevaluate my show:film ratio. Tbf most of my watching these days has been shows I haven't seen (Ripley, IWTV), or rewatching things so my little brother will watch them for the first time (we're finally on the newest part of JoJo, for example). So, in terms of new watches: The Invitation, and Extremely Wicked and Shockingly Vile. For rewatch: I believe the last ones were 300 (lol. Lmao. Even a rofl.) and Mad Max: Fury Road (shocker: my teen brother loved it). I have....so many things to watch. Help.
Last Show: ...well. Ripley, for completed seasons (great show, phenomenal). I'm a few episodes into a couple shows (I think most recently Vikings is the only one I'm entirely new to). Catching up on Bridgerton with my sister, JoJo with little brother, and then, again, so so many other shows. Interview With The Vampire may be my favourite show in some time; probably should rewatch Housr of the Dragon ahead of season two. I do think I'm gonna drop Woman of the Dead, even tho I just started it. As someone studying the field, discrepancies are...pretty distracting. Her job feels almost superfluous to her goals and journey, which is weird given the premise.
Last Thing I Googled: class specializations in Dragon Age; the four humours; mortality stats for my county; if Jaejoong was releasing a full new album. (Thought the spread was funny)
Current Obsession: the pile of books I'm working through (mostly to study, fiction's been putting me off for the last month or so, in books); Dragon Age (how did I get here again...what year is it...); tattoo ideas; my fitness goals. MUSIC. Always recommend me music. All my little OCs and story ideas. 💚
Tagging anyone who'd like to participate! Tag me so i see your answers, I'm nosy.
But let's go with @defira85 (hope you're recuperating well <3) STRICTLY when up and at 'em; @heterophobic-antipope; @thetruenightzedge; @patrickdiomedes; @ronqueesha; @southeastsappho; and @spiderkiss.

Hello, I’m back to annoy you😇
We won the DFB Pokal💚🐺🏆🥳
How are you?
Also I saw you had some interviews a while ago and did definitely not forget to ask about them until now🙃
So, how did it go, also if you don‘t mind sharing, what were they for and where (as in are you staying in Australia or are you going back to Germany)
Sorry if I’m being to noisy, you are in no way required to answer all my questions, just answer the ones you feel comfortable sharing😊
I‘m on my second internship, it’s radiotherapy right now, the first two weeks at one of the two locations I’m at wasn’t great cause there is some tension within that team and also I still had ( and still have) a lot to learn, and well let’s just say while the people were mostly very friendly they were kind of, impatient? Anyway it just wasn’t exactly a great situation and I just kind of felt like I was getting on their nerves or always in the way? I dunno it was not good
Now that I’m at the second location it’s way more fun, it’s still kind of mentally and emotionally draining cause I work with cancer patients all day long, but I think I’ve found a good way to recharge and handle it. Anyway the people there are great and I love em, I honestly don‘t want to leave there. They take time to explain stuff and answer questions as good as they can and honestly it’s a dream. They also just straight up tell me if I made a mistake or if I did something well, which luckily it’s mostly just been me doing things well, but I dunno I just need that transparency, like please do talk to me and tell me how I can do this or that better or how I can handle a situation better and don‘t just say at the end of the internship, you remember this situation from like three weeks ago? Yeah you shouldn‘t have done that, said this or whatever. And at the same time it‘s also nice hearing that you did something well.
Welp that got long quickly, sorry for the rant.
I hope you have a great day🫶
Einmal Wolfsburg, Immer Wolfsburg🐺💚
🩻
Hey, I missed you and you never annoy me 😊
We did I was pumped even tho I was absolutely freezing and dead tired 💚🏆
I‘m good on camp in the Outback at the moment. Honestly can’t wait to return from it. In 6 days a friend is flying over to visit so I’m hyped for that one.
One interview was really good like the people I had it with sounded super nice and the job didn’t seem bad as well. The second one was so horrendous that I hope they either don’t take me or one of the other ones work out because I really don’t think I would enjoy that one at all. Like they where so unorganized that they didn’t even know where I or what I wanted to study. The interview was for a duales Studium!? Like come on, it’s also nearly double the hours then the first one.
I have another one next week and one in two weeks hope they will be great since they are kinda from the job description my favorite ones
Oh yeah they are for my studying when I’m back in October
Yeah the first placement sounds terrible, definitely get what you mean.
But the second one sounds good, but I imagine it’s quite challenging so please take care of yourself! And feedback is so important like just tell me what to do and if the way I do it is good or what I have to do differently. Like you would think everyone just does that
Also love your life updates like you made my morning with it…. after obviously the Wolfsburg win 😇💚
Thanks and you too 🫶🏼
Einmal Wolfsburg, IMMER WOLFSBURG 💚🐺🏆

enhypen if they were buzzfeed content creators
Tumblr media
a/n: hello this is a short headcanon(?) not proofread and just me missing the old buzzfeed crew (idk how to title this properly so enjoy this mess)
warnings: none that i could think of
Tumblr media
heeseung: try guys
→ is good at everything so he manages to ace every single video
→ catch him be completely clueless and still manage to do well on whatever the challenge is
→ oh god imagine a without a recipe or without instructions episode, he'd just go with his gut feel and somehow manage to please the judges
→ like fr he'd put pepper at the cheesecake batter and somehow it would work 🤔
→ but don't make him do an episode at the amusement park tho... to this day jungwon has file of him and sunghoon losing their shit at the rollercoaster
→ convinces the team that he's the brain of the group, but in reality non of them have braincells when together
jay: worth it / tasty
→ would give detailed ratings to the food and is actually very reasonable with his worth it winner
→ ...save sunoo from the awful food puns tho
→ "well that was a berry nice treat 😁 that really was cherry on top!" (raises his eyebrows, only to be replied with an eye roll from sunoo)
→ probably the most responsible among the tasty team when it comes to actually making food
→ i also see him making content like make it fancy and would def be able to make poptarts exquisite
→ he could also make timtams deluxé in which jake would be the guest judge. spoiler alert: jake takes all the timtams with him
→ ORRR imagine him with a making it big episode
→ halfway through the episode he'd contemplate his life decisions because he did not study culinary arts to cook a huge amount of rice for a big sushi
jake: unsolved
→ you saw this coming
→ idk if he's the brain of the duo or the coward... actually he's both 🧍
→ gets scared easily, but he doesn't want to back down on an episode
→ probably does this 🙏 as a reflex now from all the mini-heart attacks he's experienced
→ i could imagine him trying to communicate with ghosts and whatnot but he's holding onto himself for dear like cos his partner (read: ni-ki) thought it would be best to make him go through the haunted house alone
→ viewers have 111502 reaction memes from jake alone
→ "i thought australia was scary with all the bugs around... now i have ni-ki 😐"
sunghoon: try guys
→ absolutely clueless, please help him
→ pitches in the most random idea, idk how the other producers approve of it but it does work
→ try guys try building a fort made of legos, try guys try teaching kindergarten kids, try guys try heels for a day yeah those are all his ideas
→ somehow he is the most competetive out of all of them, and would complain about rankings if the episode was a competition
→ his average ranking is always the last place so expect an earful from him
→ "i'm clearly the winner??? you said points for creativity... i HAVE the most creativity."
→ "exactly. creativity is all you had, hoon. there are other factors."
sunoo: worth it / tasty
→ his worth it winner would be greatly affected by the other side dishes even if it wasn't the food they're ranking
→ "my worth it winner is place b... the pineapple cucumber cooler was lovely."
→ "sunoo, today's episode is burritos 😐"
→ he'd also be making content for eating your feed and he surprises himself most of the time with his results
→ except for the time he tried to remake omurice... the tasty kitchen was basically an egg dumpster by the end of the filming
→ would actually need assistance most of the time, but it's okay he gets the job done ...albeit most filming takes him three days
→ he accidentally mistook salt for sugar in one of his earlier episodes and to this day heeseung reminds him to always double check (heeseung was sadly the victim of the salty mango jam)
jungwon: try guys
→ thumbnail material, is the best at giving reactions
→ gives the best answers for their interview cuts because he has no filter
→ he probably has the most iconic lines and the comment section is filled with timestamps for whatever comes out of his mouth
→ if he does win during a try guys game time, he'd be cocky about it (he just loves bickering with sunghoon for fun)
→ bcs he honestly did not expect to win, he's just vibing with the flow 😎
→ "i told y'all i truly am the best boss. the big man. the one and only."
→ "sit down mr. 1-point-ahead, there's a next game."
ni-ki: unsolved
→ u cannot tell me this duo is not perfect for buzzfeed unsolved
→ ni-ki as "i've connected the dots" while jake as "you didn't connect shit."
→ a brat, would scare jake for fun
→ he has no fear absolutely none. zero (0). the demons are scared of him.
→ scratch that his only fear is guesting in an episode with the try guys pitched by sunghoon
→ try guys try reviving a cactus (with jake and ni-ki): wherein sunghoon convinces jungwon that his plant is being haunted so he needs the help of buzzfeed's best detectors
→ did not end well, ni-ki has a dinosaur-designed bandaid wrapped around his pinky care of his heeseung hyung

Can u show pics of all the txt members i new and dont know them very well sorry ~~
of course sweetheart <3 i love baby moas so much!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is choi yeonjun!
he’s the oldest member (a 99 liner) and he’s identifiable by his lips. they’re kind of down turned if you look closely. he’s also had a lot of different hair colors (neon yellow, blue, pink, blonde) so if you see a member with dyed hair, chances are it’s yeonjun! he also did a modeling thing for nyfw so you can go study those pictures to remember his face better! he’s the rapper in the group, so you can listen for him in a lot of those parts of their songs (like the bars at the end of puma).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is choi soobin (my bias hehe <3)
he is the tallest member and he has dimples! he was born in 2000 and he’s the leader of the group. in my opinion, he’s identifiable usually by either his height or the fact that his face is kind of long/an oval?? if that makes sense. also everyone says he looks like a bunny lmao which is really cute :( he was an mc for music bank with oh my girl’s arin for a year, so you can watch him interviewing other idols and stuff like that to get to know his voice :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is choi beomgyu (the last of the chois lol)
he was born in 2001. he’s kind of the middle man between the hyung and maknae lines (he will go to the grave claiming hyung line status tho). he’s the “mood maker” of the group along with hueningkai and everyone says that he’s one of the funniest members (and the hottest tbh). he grew his hair out for this comeback, so in freeze he’ll have the long black hair. his face is rounder and very symmetrical.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is kang taehyun!
tae was born in 2002 and he’s a part of the maknae line but he doesn’t act like it lol. he loves to work out, so he has some muscles or whateva 🙄☝🏻 but he’s also on the smaller side of the group (but only bc his members are giants smh) at 177 cm or around 5’10 tall. he’s famous for his beautiful falsetto. he does a lot of the high notes on txt’s songs** in terms of recognizing him, he has a really straight nose bridge from the side (they measured it and it was like 40 degrees or something lmao) and he has a big smile.
** side note: please go watch their live performance of 20 cm if you haven’t yet! it’s so pretty and taehyun does such a good job.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and finally this is hueningkai :)
huening is his last name, so his stage name is literally just his full name (minus the middle name which is kamal). he is also very tall and i feel like his legs are unique looking so if they’re standing next to each other, you can look for the one with a thigh gap. he has a really infamous laugh (super loud) and his voice is a little bit nasally so you can listen for that too! also this comeback is his first time dying his hair, so in old videos you can find the member with consistently brown hair and that’ll be hueningkai lol

Written In The Stars (One Shot)
Tumblr media
Request
Hi! Can I request something like Lena falling in love with an alien reader?
A/N: Hey guys!!! First one shot of the year!!! Let’s hope we can keep the rhythm this time...also I broke my phone so I’ll probably be less active on the app...the writing is still going tho so yaaay! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one and as always, let me know what you think! Love ya beautiful people! 
Lena Luthor x Alien!R//Word Count: 2,204 -------------------------------------------------------
When she was younger, Lena Luthor used to look at the night sky with infinite awe. The map of stars that hung above the Earth had been the place where she could find solace and a sense of peace. The stars were never alone, always needing one another to form their constellations. They reminded her she was also not alone even if it seemed like it.
However, as she grew up most of that wonder translated into scientific interest, which started to diminish as she found herself enthralled by more practical sciences. The sky, as vast as it was, was a mystery she recognized she couldn't unravel in her lifetime. She needed to focus on more earthly things, but she was content to be another curious viewer of such canvas of light.
Being a curious viewer, however, was something that changed abruptly when the existence of extraterrestrial life was proven by no other than Superman. Even more when it was known the Earth had been a refuge for many more aliens than it was possible to believe. The stars had reached the Earth, and they came bearing their own cosmic forms of life.
The population had been divided between those that accepted and welcomed the space travelers and those that rejected the idea, defending their right to their land and planet, fearful of an unstoppable invasion, living with the enemy and whatnot. For a while, Lena found the latter to be a matter of great concern. She wanted people to feel safe and believed they had the right to know who among them was or not an alien.
It wasn't until Kara came to knock that idea off, presenting her with an alternative story and reminding her that those aliens too had a right to their own freedom. She opened her eyes to the reality most of them lived. They were mmigrants of desolated planets, seeking shelter from wars and just like Superman, seeking a new home after their planets had been shattered. There were a few bad seeds, yes, but most of them were only looking for a better life. Wasn't that enough to give them a vote of confidence?
Her alien detection device was then transformed into an image inducer, a new gadget that helped aliens conceal their true appearance if they wished to look physically human. It was great to blend with the crowd, and it was a great success in the alien market.
"Miss Luthor, Kara Danvers is waiting for you in the conference room." Jess told her one day as she arrived to the office.
"Kara?" She found herself surprised by the sudden visit of the journalist. "Does she want another interview?"
"No, she has come along with someone else. She said she only needed a few minutes with you."
"Alright." Lena said leaving her purse on her desk and taking a couple of files from Jess to revise them later. "Let's see what it is."
Lena Luthor entered her conference room to find two figures chatting amicably at the room table. One she could recognize immediately, with her golden locks and bright smile, the other she had no idea who it was but as soon as your eyes were on her she was curious to find out.
"Lena!" Kara said rising from her chair, with you following suit. "Thank you for meeting us in such short notice. We promise not to take too much of your time."
"Kara, of course. How can I help?"
"Well, actually, I would like to introduce you to (Y/N) (Y/L/N)." At the mention of your name, you stepped forward, extending your hand to Lena. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Luthor."  
"Lena, please." She said taking your hand.
"Then, please, call me (Y/N)." You said with a firm grip and a kind smile, something rare for Lena to see during those days.
"(Y/N) is the leader of an alien race residing in National City." Kara continued with a proud stance.
"Is that so?" Lena replied with a raised eyebrow and the hint of a smirk on her lips. "Is (Y/N) your real name?"
Lena's words prompted a chuckle from you, and you decided to clarify before there were any misunderstandings.
"It's my chosen Earth name. I don't think you have enough tongues to be able to pronounce the real one." You said with a playful smile. "Also, I wouldn't go that far. I am what you would call a representative, and it is of a small group only. Miss Danvers here is just too kind."
"She is, indeed." Her smile only grew bigger as she saw Kara fail to conceal a little pout.
"Well, you're still a great representative." Kara said.
"But to what do I own the honor of you visit?" Lena said gesturing to you to take your seats again. Kara smiled at you and moved along with you towards your seats.
"Right." You said pulling a small box from your jacket. "I'm here to deliver this."
Lena took the little box from your extended palm, her curiosity growing as she inspected its contents. Inside she found a little black matte icosahedron, nothing extraordinary by the looks of it.
"What is this?" She finally asked.
"The alien community wanted to thank you for creating the image inducer. It has helped a lot of people, especially those of us that don't exactly fit into the human shape." You started to explain as she inspected it.
After the launch of her device, Lena recalled, the company had received countless letters and e-mails, most of them in gratitude for helping the aliens in National City as they were still fighting for acceptance within the human population. It helped them find jobs, housing and places to be without having to worry about their looks or if other people reacted negatively to them. It helped them feel safe.
Only then Lena understood the impact it had on other's peoples lives and how her work had helped them accomplish that.
"So this is a thank you gift." You moved your hand and placed a finger on one side of the icosahedron.
Lena was startled as the other sides of the new device in her hand started to open. Suddenly the room was filled with a clear colorful light, but it was more than that. It was lines and spheres and points and spirals well defined. It took her a moment to realize what it was but Lena found herself looking around the conference room with a fascination she thought she had long lost. As the conversation followed, you explained Lena the device in her hand was a space chart. It contained information about several planetary systems, their galaxies and stars, and common routes to reach them, you said as if it was nothing but a travel guide.
Lena turned her eyes towards you a few seconds later, ready to declare her own gratitude when she noticed your expression. You were staring at a far corner of the room, not with the usual distant look of a daydreamer or that of someone who has lost interest in the present moment. You were looking with intention and, more than that, with longing in your eyes.
"It's wonderful. Thank you." Lena finally said, pulling you out of your thoughts. You blinked a few times before the smile returned to your face.
"If you ever wish to know a bit more about what's out there, you can always consult it and if you need help navigating it, I'll be more than happy to help."
Lena thought about it for a moment more. While she had long ago left her intentions of unraveling the skies, she saw a chance within those stars. This was the opportunity she had been hoping to find in National City. If she could gain the trust of the alien community, she would be able to expand her work and better help not only them but the whole city. To help put the world back together instead of tearing it apart. She was more grateful then to you, for giving her that chance.
Besides, she thought, it was also a chance to fulfill her curiosity about you.
It wasn't long after that meeting that you were back at her office, teaching her how to use the space chart. Her attention bouncing from the lines of stars and planets to understanding the technology behind the device. While her studies on science and astronomy made it easy for her to identify the structure and functioning of the chart, and the several celestial bodies it showed, she still had to learn how to translate that into terms she knew and relearn the names people used to refer to their own planets and stars. You did your best trying to explain how both things worked, which she highly appreciated.
As days passed, Lena took a new liking to your teachings which turned into more personal reunions. You didn't limit yourself to talking just about stars or planets but about the different cultures that inhabited them. Mentions of your home planet became more regular and you even used it to contrast the big differences between Earth and the rest of worlds you had known. Lena was delighted to indulge in such conversations, taking in as much as it was possible.
The way you talked about your home planet, your country, if such concept even applied, your family, your house, everything, was enough for her to look at you with the same awe she used to look at the stars when she was younger. She knew she wouldn't get to know all the stars in the universe but just knowing you, she thought, made up for it all.
"The sunsets there were hours of golden light washing over the citadel, and the nights were, oh, the night was too beautiful with its waves of light across the sky." You told her one day as you both had finished one of your reunions.
You were leaning against Lena's balcony, both of you observing the sun go down behind the city skyline.
"You know, I don't think you have ever showed me where you're from." Lena said, crossing her arms and taking a step towards you, seizing the opportunity. You had showed Lena at least dozens of planets, especially those closest to Earth's solar system but yours, for everything you talked about it, somehow still remained a mystery.
Lena felt a slight pang in her chest as she saw the smile in your face turn sad.
"No, I suppose I haven't." You said and after a moment, where you seemed to ponder a few options, you moved your head, signaling Lena to follow you back inside her office.
You took the space chart from her desk, activating it and moving your hands again until the hologram in the room moved, showing a single planet in the center of the room. You took a few steps back and gestured to Lena to take a closer to look at it.
"Here it is."
The planet, surrounded by seven moons, was a very Jupiter look-a-like. Lena was instantly enthralled by the colors and the stripes, swirls and waves that formed the planet's atmosphere. The hologram displayed a name in a language Lena certainly didn't know and that made her wonder just how many tongues she would need to pronounce it correctly.
"It's beautiful." Lena said, still looking at it.
"It was." You replied, and she turned to look at you with a confused frown and a question clear in her face.  
You moved the chart once more, reducing the image to show the whole system your planet used to be a part of.
Lena saw other nine planets but only one caught her attention as its name was being displayed in an alphabet she actually recognized.
"Krypton." She whispered, eyes widening in shock.
Everyone already knew the story. How the almighty Kryptonians had traveled to Earth when their own planet had been destroyed. But no one, including her, had thought too much about what it had meant for the rest of their own little universe. Lena imagined it then, an explosion setting a chain reaction. Not only one but several worlds shattered, with their people trying to escape the path of destruction.
Lena's eyes landed on you once more, finally understanding the longing she had once seen in your own eyes. She also knew, in some way, what it was to lose your home. So she approached you, slowly taking your hand and muttering an apology, for whatever little comfort it could give you.
"It's alright." You said looking intently at her with a reassuring smile. "I found a new home."
"And I'm glad you found it here."
You made her feel at home, Lena thought and, as she smiled back at you, she thanked the stars for giving you both the chance to find a home along each other, and hopefully, one day, a home for you both.

More and longer theory chatter with @flash-the-geist with guest stars who popped in. This one is longer since it’s theorizing but turned into something Flash affectionately named the ‘Esprestissimo AU’ which I am keeping because I love it so much.
Most of this mainly features Duet thoughts and then shenanigans ! The most I did was add a missing thing in my own comments for clarification or that my brain skipped over when typing it before, or where I adjust the order of the messages for cohesiveness
please enjoy jdjd
flaaaash — Today at 4:35 AM
hmmm what if the note-taker is Duet, taking notes about "Solo"? that implies they're two different people
Arthur — Today at 4:36 AM
that's what i was thinking-- that the ‘He’ in the note is reverb, and this note is in reference to reverb, but also a comment on Solo, and the Duet 'wrote' this character profile as like-- a case file if they're in charge of the organization
so duet is like 'solo' claims she still needs to study him for research in a note on the file he's taking on reverb or something like that
flaaaash — Today at 4:37 AM
this might be my deep, unfortunate familiarity with bureaucracy talking, but- if the person in charge is also the one taking notes, it's a very small organization
Arthur — Today at 4:37 AM
oh yeah
i imagined it was tiny personally
tempo seems on the smaller side so if it's all based there, i was imagining it was relatively small
flaaaash — Today at 4:38 AM
not international then, perhaps
adkjfakjf oooh now I want to make a little card for Flash
Arthur — Today at 4:39 AM
yeah no-- at least since the name tempo of the town following the motif like seemingly implies it's based in/related to the town since if follows the reference style
or that's my thinking anyways?
flaaaash — Today at 4:39 AM
very true
imagine if Tempo is just Like That and the rest of the world is totally normal
Arthur — Today at 4:40 AM
i personally think vivi didn't grow up in tempo now more tho-- because i think if she did and there is an organization, they woulda gotten wind of her and she probably would've been recruited since she's smart and clearly into that kind of thing
and if she was in the org and knew what she was doing, i don't know if she would've gone to the cave if she was at all in the Know 
flaaaash — Today at 4:40 AM
or they would have tried to study Mystery?
Arthur — Today at 4:41 AM
that too!!
even if they brought her in just because of mystery i imagine they would've brought her in
flaaaash — Today at 4:41 AM
maybe that's what the "her research into "REDACTED" is referring to. Research into mystery?
it all does seem to come back to him
Arthur — Today at 4:42 AM
or maybe she's relatively new to tempo still, and duet gave her a job because they intended to bring her in at some point but hadn't yet
like there were steps to take and like-- the cave happened before things could get fully underway
i mean at my job i applied in like-- march, and i didn't get an interview until may, and then i didn't get any training until november, and then i didn't get brought in to learn the job until december. so it'd be easy to imagine that if there was a reason, bringing her in could be a slow process 
flaaaash — Today at 4:43 AM
that might also explain why there were all these "go back" signs in the cave
clearly someone with English language skills put the signage there
Arthur — Today at 4:43 AM
that too! it definitely felt like it was to warn off people and keep them from tresspassing
but the gang were kids and also ghost don't haunt the places that aren't super scary and dangerous! so of course they gotta go in!
flaaaash — Today at 4:45 AM
maybe they weren't expecting someone like Vivi at all
she was a wild card that popped up and threw a spanner in the works accidentally
Arthur — Today at 4:45 AM
yeah!
i can imagine her just coming in and completely bamboozling everyone
duet is like 'okay we'll get her in on this but we'll take some time to sort everything and judge where she's at skill wise since we have time and it's not like she can get into any danger with all our protective me--oh no'
flaaaash — Today at 4:48 AM
that calls Duet's motivation into question a lil bc - there's at least a significant amount of time between Lewis dying and them finding him again
since their search is reasonably extensive and Arthur's had time to heal up. So why didn't Duet do anything during this time?
Arthur — Today at 4:50 AM
hmmmm--- well we know it's been less than a year since the cave happened at least, and i think the way Ben talked about it  sounded like it was a relatively short time table of only a few months, so maybe they wanted to give them recovery time or they weren't sure how to broach it-- i'm not sure. maybe the comic will give some kind of insight hopefully if the case is that vivi came in like that
i feel like it'd be interesting and make more sense given what she has available magic wise and mystery-wise if she wasn't in town until much later in life to explain why she wouldn’t already be working with the organization. but i'm still like hmm
because you do have a point that there would be a fair bit of inaction, unless for some reason vivi's memory issues or something was a problem or something happens in the prequel to explain or hint
tho now that brings into question if duet knows Lewis is dead, how are things not being managed better
i mean i've had arthur say in the past and i've said once or twice that like-- i think arthur was already working with prosthetics. so he could've had an arm mostly built and just had to make a more functioning one so that could've been fast. so hopefully maybe the prequel comic is set a bit before and might explain duet helping or something in a way that could make sense of it?
especially given he did make galaham's wheels already and such. he might've already built one but needed to make a new one set up for him
flaaaash — Today at 4:54 AM
I'm fairly sure people would at least know he's missing
I guess it's possible that the 'memory magic' thing that makes Vivi forget - it could affect everyone except Arthur and Mystery?
Arthur — Today at 4:56 AM
that's possible--
we have only seen mystery and arthur in the world seeming to know what's going on, so we don't know who knows what. just that vivi doesn't know lewis
but maybe nobody else does either to some degree
flaaaash — Today at 4:56 AM
Arthur being possessed at the time, and Mystery being a magical being himself. We don't have any evidence that anyone else remembers Lewis, although he seems to still be in pictures
Arthur — Today at 4:57 AM
people did seem confused arthur was freaking out in the store in the comic and like
idk. if i knew he lost his best friend i'd be more sympathetic/not look at him like he was crazy. I’d assume something set him off but probably feel bad for him if i knew what happened in the last year?
because i would imagine mental health is in the toilet after going on a trip and losing a friend even if he was only 'missing'
and the way arthur mentioned lewis and when vivi forgets he's just like 'nevermind'. if no one really remembers Lewis, then maybe giving up trying to explain is because he’s used to no one knowing who he means
flaaaash — Today at 4:58 AM
yea h
Arthur — Today at 4:58 AM
what if arthur only remembers lewis? (and mystery does)
Don't forget to take your meds ❤ — Today at 4:58 AM
In fairness most people would be confused if they saw someone having a panic attack in public, no matter how much was known about the person
flaaaash — Today at 4:58 AM
also if Lewis looked like himself for a moment just before dropping Arthur - does that mean Lance saw him?
or did he only see skele-version and thus didn't recognize him as Lewis
Arthur — Today at 4:58 AM
hmmmmm--- i lean to skele vision. he turned back pretty quick iirc
flaaaash — Today at 4:59 AM
I'm torn between analysing between a storyteller perspective and an in-world perspective
Arthur — Today at 5:01 AM
por que no los dos?
also
hmmm-- i think given people were like 'what's up with that guy', it seemed either not knowing what was going on with him or what it could stem from, but if lewis disappeared in a small town i feel like a lot of the details would've spread. so they might assume it had to do with that instead-- so it feels like maybe most people don't know
which seems strange in a smaller community because stuff gets around
flaaaash — Today at 5:01 AM
especially since the Peppers own a restaurant
Arthur — Today at 5:01 AM
yeah-- in a small town place a restuarant is usually a social hub of sorts
so if lewis disppeared i'm sure people would talk given he was a waiter and thus kind of a face for the restaurant
flaaaash — Today at 5:02 AM
also if they think he's missing and not dead, his family would be looking for him too. which means missing persons pics and all that
Arthur — Today at 5:02 AM
yeah and we didn’t see any. and some people not knowing or visitors i could get, but everyone seemed surprised by arthur freaking out, and if they knew lewis was missing and lewis and arthur were friends, it feels odd to like-- none of them to even look sympathetic
i would imagine if they knew lewis was gone they'd assume arthur would be more emotionally reactive than usual-- unless they have no idea that something is going on with arthur because you know-- lewis is erased jdjd
i mean the reason we know vivi doesn't remember is because her eyes glowed as lewis got phased out of the photo
but who knows maybe him being phased out was in general and that just meant she was affected too. everyone gets amnesia
flaaaash — Today at 5:03 AM
also slightly cracky theory but - if they ended up accidentally in the research facility during Ghost, that would explain why Vivi found a fully-stocked fridge alkja;gl
Arthur — Today at 5:04 AM
DSJDDLJSDLFJDSJL
that would be hilarious
lewis is his own scp in his tantrum mansion
they just keep an eye on the lot
flaaaash — Today at 5:05 AM
well what else are they gonna do with him??? xD
Arthur — Today at 5:05 AM
dslsdjdsfljdsfd
''welp no one knows who this guy is soooooo manor in the middle of nowhere time'
flaaaash — Today at 5:06 AM
"so the waiter turned into a vengeful spirit?" "oh uhhhh ok put him in a box i guess until we figure something out?"
ok theory- Duet knows Lewis is dead, but is trying to figure out a way to help/break the memory magic on Vivi, and that's why he's in the mansion/cave for a while before Ghost?
Arthur — Today at 5:06 AM
i like it! i think them knowing and approaching arthur in the comic and using 'rancid vibes' as an excuse would make sense
flaaaash — Today at 5:07 AM
"so that Vivi person wandered in again somehow and now the vengeful waiter ghost is loose?" "for fuck's sake you had ONE JOB-"
Arthur — Today at 5:07 AM
they know what's actually going on but they kinda act like everyone else while also getting arthur something that might help him in that book that i think will be important in the plot of the prequel

"also there was this killer tree-" "I do not care about the tree, one problem at a time"
Poor Duet is having A Week
but the mental image of them trying to avoid Arthur and Vivi investigating, while trying to find ??? and re-capture him while shoving Lewis in a box is hilarious, and then they run into Shiromori and just throw their hands in the air like "can u not????". And then Murder Mystery shows up and they just quit
Arthur — Today at 5:10 AM

"Duet gives him a look of Supreme Weariness and Nopery. Arthur counters with a double eye-roll of Resignation and Angst. In the true synchronicity of the Absolutely Done, they each take an espresso shot and slam it down."
Arthur — Today at 5:20 AM

they clink the little cups together first before taking their respective shots
flaaaash — Today at 5:21 AM
they do the thing where they turn it upside down to prove it's empty

The anecdotes get concerningly similar to each others

by the twelfth, Arthur begins weeping. Duet pats him in solidarity and knocks the next shot clean off the counter due to caffeine-induced twitching
Arthur — Today at 5:22 AM

they could taste the difference if they weren't vibrating into the 28the dimension atm
flaaaash — Today at 5:24 AM
after the fifteenth shot, the counter is clear and they're both full of sympathetic outrage for the other's plight. They sprint from the cafe, steamroll right over Shiromori, and punt the colours right out of Murder Mystery in a fit of industrial-strength caffeinated indignance.

Tumblr media
The jungle of the inn keepers door bell caught Thoralds attention and he looked up from his mead hopefully. A woman stood in the doorway, an unsure look on her face as she peered into the dimly lit inn. Remembering the description his employer gave, Thorald jumped to his feet and hurried to her, extending a hand in welcome. "Are you Arisa Bear-Tooth?" He asked and the woman nodded. "In the flesh" she said cheerfully.
He led her to the table he had occupied earlier and called for the serving girl to bring him two tankards of hunningbrew mead. Taking a deep swig of her drink, Arisa sighed happily.
"It's been awhile since I had some good mead. But let's get to business..Why did you want to interview me?" She asked.
Thorald nodded, "You're the dragonborn, the one the Greybeards called for, m’lady. The people of Skyrim want to know more about you and my employer, The Black Horse courier,wants to be the one to tell your story. Please allow me to be the one to tell it"
Arisa looked down at her tankard for a moment then took a deep breath. " Alright. But if your expecting tales of daring adventure, you're going to be disappointed.."
He shook his head, "I just want your take on things, m’lady, Nothing more. " She smiled at him and he noticed the amusement in her eyes. "You can call me Arisa, m’lady is so formal." she said. He nodded slowly. "Ok then.. Arisa, let's get started." He pulled out a leather bound journal and pheasant quill out of his bag. Placing them on the table, he readied himself to write.
1. What is your full name?
"Arisa laenhal Bear-Tooth."
2. "Do you know why you named that?"
"My father and mother fell in love with the name. Had I been a boy, my father wouldve given me a Nordic name, since I tend to look like my mothers race more. (Noting his confusion, she shrugged.) I am half nord/half mer. I look like my mother more then my father, Tho there are some traits he passed along.(she pulled back her hair and Thorald noticed her pointed ears from her mer ancestry) . My middle name is in honor of my bosmer grandmother. I've never met her tho. She passed before my birth. As for my surname, myfather insisted that I take my mothers. He said he didn't want me to suffer the prejudice he faced, especially when dealing with my mothers people."
3. "Are you single or taken?"
Looking down at her mead, she sighed. "Single and I'm only interested in one person. And I don't want discuss who it is."
The jingle of the door bell made them look up. A tall lean dark haired nord with messy circular black war paint around his eyes stood in the doorway. He glanced at them then walked to the bar, the innkeeper Hulda, greeting him fondly. Thorald recognized him, one of the companion's from Jorvaskkr. As he turned back to Arisa, he noted the wistful look on her face. Could this be the person she was talking about earlier? Maybe this could be in a future story! He mentally rejoiced at the thought.
4. "Have any powers or abilities?"
"Since I'm the dragonborn, I can shout like the dragons, without needing training to use the Thuum . I'm very good with destruction and conjuration spells. And according to Eyorland Grey-mane, I'm not bad at working the forge.
5. (Taking a chance)."Stop being a Mary sue. Give me the details, Arisa. "
"You might want to not ask me in that tone or consider the interview over." He apologized, noting the hard look in her eyes and inwardly cringing. Don't blow this,you idiot! You might never get another chance to ask her anything again. he thought.
6.,"whats your eye color?"
" blue."
7. "Hair color? "
"Dark brown."
8. "Have any family members? "
"My father, Rilgor NightSky and my mother, Elena Bear-Tooth. I am a only child.
9." Oh, how bout pets?"
"I have my horse, Stepper. He's a good horse, very reliable and runs like the wind when I need him too."
10. Moving on to something different, Are there things you don't like?"
Laughing , she said " Spiders and Draugr overlords. Been poisoned and blown off my feet too many times to count."
11. "Do you have any activities or hobbies you like to do?"
"Tinkering with the dwemer automatons I find, I also like to try to create new spells. My attempts have been a hit or miss so far."
12." Have you hurt anyone on purpose before? "
"I've tried not to."
13. "Ever…killed anyone before? "
Not if they didn't deserve it.
14. "What kind of animal are you? "
(She grinned and Thorald noticed that her canines seemed a bit longer then normal.) "What do you think?" . "How bout we skip that question?" He said hastily. He didn't want to know.
15. " Name your bad habits?"
(She shrugged.) Procrastinating is one thing I can think of. And blowing my money on things I enjoy. That wouldnt be a problem but I tend to overspend and then I find myself broke until the next job comes along..
16. "Do you look up to anyone at all?"
I have great respect for my shield brothers and sisters of Jorvaskkr. I have learned a lot from them.
17. Are you gay, straight or bisexual?
I enjoy men and women.
18. Do you go to school?
I study with Vignar Grey-mane and Vilkas. They are teaching me the history of tamriel. Vilkas is also trying to teach me how to handle the transactions for the guild. (She frowns slightly) That's not going so well to be honest.
19. "Do you ever want to be married and have children?"
"I don't know...I would like to get married but children? I'm hardly ever home so I'm not sure. I guess it just depends.
20. "Do you have any fanboys or girls? "
I'm not sure.
21. What are you most afraid of?
Hmmm.. I guess letting life pass me by.... And losing people who are precious to me.
22. "What do you usually wear?
Depends on the weather, but I prefer light clothing and armor.
23.whats one food that tempts you?
Snowberry Crostata. Tilma makes the best but Huldas isn't that bad either.
24. "Am I annoying to you? "
(Shrugs) I've dealt with worse.
25. "Well, it's not over.! "
(Another shrug) it's fine.
26.what class are you(low/middle/high?"
When I was with my parents, I was, considered middle. Living in whiterun.. I guess you could say im still middle. I own breezehome and im still able to provide for myself.
27.
"How many friends do you have? "
Im friendly with the whiterun citizens and I can count on my shield brothers and sisters to back me up so quite a few.
28.
"What are your thoughts on pie? "
The only pie sold in whiterun is apple and I am just not a fan of it. Sometimes Hulda will give me one for helping her cut firewood bithe I just give it to Farkas or Vilkas when I see them.
30.
"Favorite drink?"
It's some brew Farkas made. He's calls it the sabrecat stunner. It's really strong but man, so good.
31.
"Whats your favorite place?"
Hmmm.. I have to say Jorvaskkr. It's noisy but there's something comforting about it. Plus, Tilma is a great cook!

old bnha wip #2 (todobakudeku)
Sirens screamed over the city lights as the reporter picked up the pace. "And right here on the scene we have — oh!" Her voice picked up in pitch, excitement making her tremble. "The Burning Duo's on the way, everyone! Freshly debuted just earlier this spring, straight out of the No.1 hero's agency — look sharp! It's Temperance and Detonation!"
Right on cue, the blasts of the explosive hero heralded the arrival of the noisier, and more hotheaded of the two. The villain was suddenly on the ground. Any other partners-in-crime still walking paled, and not just from fear and the sweet, toxic smell of nitroglycerin — it was the icy snap of cold, freezing their skin to any surfaces they happened to touch.
"Annnd there we have it! All cleaned up, all in one swoop! And a very good job to our heroes!" The reporter scuttled her way over to where the two young heroes were binding up the petty criminals, ready to hand over to the police as soon as they caught up. “Temperance! Detonation!” She thrust the mic into their faces. “Mind telling us the secret behind your smooth teamwork? Our viewers would be very interested to know how you two work behind the scenes!” One eyed her coolly, looking absent-minded. The other had not even bothered to look over.
“Hm… we’re good friends,” Todoroki Shouto finally contributed. A waft of cool air drifted about his hair.
A loud ‘Tchk!’ sounded from behind them. Bakugou Katsuki finally deigned to look over sourly. “…We’re barely friends.” Any UA classmate of theirs may have gaped at the magnitude of Bakugou admitting such a thing. Todoroki glanced over at him, almost bewildered.
A beat passed where they looked at each other and the reporter awkwardly stood by, still holding up the mic, afraid to move it.
Todoroki was the first to move. “We work together Mondays to Saturdays, train together, and spend almost any free time together, I’d say that makes us very good friends.” He finally appeared to take notice of the mic mostly pointing at him and gingerly took it from the reporter, resigned that they would have to stay there to entertain the media while they waited.
Bakugou made another snappy sound in his throat. “And I’ve told you this before: time doesn’t equal friendship dumbass.” He marched up to Todoroki, snatching the mic from him while aggressively elbowing him away. “Tell this to the public.” He glared into the black eye of the camera. “We worked freakin’ hard to get here.”

I’d just like to say I think Detonation firmly denying they’re friends means he thinks of them as something more and for those who think their success is just getting along well 6 days in a week? nAh, we worked our asses off. Just who do you think you’re fooling 2,456 notes
The real question is is Detonation just pissed Temperance won’t let them out they’re soulmates 1,566 notes
* “I could tell you were trying really hard not to yell there,” Todoroki said, faint amusement glinting in his eyes.
“Shut up.” He was not staring.
“Good job on not blasting press equipment this time,” he continued, ignoring him. Last time, he’d yelled so loud that his decibel level overshot the limit. Present Mic had half-jokingly tweeted him about stealing his spotlight.
Katsuki turned away from him, walking ahead into their office. Their, their, them. Everywhere they went, they were a unit. Together.
He wanted to spit at the thought of it.
He could tolerate it. It was nothing.
Yet what was this itchy feeling that kept nagging at the back of his head these days?
The PR officer looked up from where she’d been consulting their notes. “There you are. Good job out there.” She got up, receiving a greeting from Todoroki. “I wanted to talk about today. So far the image you two have presented is as capable fighters, but today’s on-scene news have proved the public is hungry for more, especially of the relationship between you two.”
“What’s new,” Katsuki grumbled, tugging off his gauntlets.
She smiled. “Everyone seems to like seeing you two argue. It does give them hope that the two of you may be not just paired heroes.” She coughed diplomatically. “Soulmates.”
“Just come right out and say it,” he groaned. He pointed a finger at the frigid bastard who was carefully considering everything the damn PR was saying. “Bicker with him? Easiest thing in the world. What else have you lot come up with?”
“Nothing much, just act as naturally as you do and try to be actual friends.” She had the gall to wink at him. “Todoroki-kun here is always trying his best to be actual friends with you after all. Wouldn’t hurt to hang out more often, have fun together.”
“That’s not a bad idea,” Todoroki said, thumb on his chin. Was he brightening at the idea? Was that a hint of interest on the non-emotive bastard’s face? Ugh.
“We’ll leave you to it then,” the PR woman waved her file as she dismissed herself.
And then they were alone in the office and Katsuki did not appreciate it, not with the Half-n-half’s attention fully on him like that.
He tugged his mask out of the way, heading to his desk. Todoroki’s gaze was still solely fixated on him. “What.” He twitched, irritated.
Todoroki appeared to shake himself out of whatever fugue he’d fallen into. “I was trying to remember if you’ve ever done anything for fun. Do you?”
Katsuki stared at him. “Sure I do. Whenever I get to be alone.”
Todoroki’s gaze prodded him to say further. “And? That can’t be it?”
He growled, chafing. “Train. Walk. Jog. Parks. Mountains. What else do you want, huh?”
Todoroki’s face loomed out of the right corner of his eye as he came over to stand over Katsuki’s desk. “What about animals?”
Katsuki scrunched his nose in distaste. “What about them?”
“No allergies?” Todoroki kept pressing. He was distractingly close and Katsuki did not appreciate anyone leaning in too far his personal space.
He let Todoroki stay there anyway. There’s something wrong with him.
His pulse is not in the palms of his hands. If he’s sweaty, then maybe that’s why he’s letting the Thermostat venture nearer. He’s useful like that.
“No,” he snaps reluctantly.
He looks up at Todoroki sliding his phone towards him. There’s an image on it, a colourful flyer for… a cat cafe.
“Oh hell no-”
“Shinsou recommended it. So did Sero,” Todoroki says, tone as flat as ever, but there’s that note of question in it.
“I’m not going into a cutesy place like that, all they’ll serve is sweet food.” He says with a tone of finality, slamming down his paperwork for the day.
A beat of silence. But you’re not trying — how about the cats?
Katsuki looks up at the thought, because evidently the Thermostat hasn’t left. And he’s just opened his mouth to say the exact thought that popped into Katsuki’s head.
Oh gods help him, Todoroki is looking at him wih those slightly pleading eyes, that’s the most this emotionally-constipated bastard can manage, but Katsuki is just, suddenly weak.
It’s unbelievable. He’s nothing but stubborn as heck but this is what gets him weak?
“It better have good chow,” he threatens weakly.
Todoroki lights up.
Ugh, all this just to see that light curve to his lips.
“See you, Bakugou.” He says, finally leaving and taking his phone and his damn small smile with him.
Katsuki thinks again to all those times he’d caught himself staring at this too-good-looking-for-his-sanity bastard and locks it all away firmly. No. Just no. They can be friends, he tells himself.
(He’s not hoping what everyone says they must be.)
He could almost swear there had been that ghostly afterthought people swore up and down and all over the internet, that apparently, were the signs. Signs they had started to sync in thought.
Katsuki clenched his fist, where his pulse had been skittering like crazy earlier.
The pen shook in his hand.
Wasn’t he happy it might be him? It’s someone like Todoroki, a pro hero just like him. Someone who’s been by his side since the UA days. Someone who can keep up with him, someone who’s strong, and can give him a good fight anytime.
He could scrounge his head all he liked, but he knew he wouldn’t find the answer.
Why did it feel like he had forgotten something?
*
A laugh fills the air of the dimly lit room. A lightbulb flickers. “Are you for real… they couldn’t be more different from each other!”
Another voice joins in chirpily. It is the nonchalent drawl of a high-school girl eager for gossip. “Right~? They’re exactly like a prince and a beast!”
“Right… the fans are actually comparing them to that lovingly.” A chuckle follows the speaker as he leans his elbow further on the gilded surface of the wood.
A hum. Congratulations, Kacchan. And that Todoroki as well. He has been keeping track of them after all. Hard not to want to document the progress of the first quirk he’d ever studied. Feeling the eyes of others on him, he draws up a piqued eyebrow as well.
"You want to meet them, don't you?" Toga's leaning in now with that curious gleam in feline eyes, wide grin not too far from slitting her entire face. It is the look of someone who has scented blood.
"Ehhh," He plays along coquettishly, draws out the syllable. "I couldn't! They'd kick me out of the building, not like you who can sneak in anytime!"
"You totally could!" Toga refutes, sitting up. "You're sooooo good at acting after all! Go!"
"Not so much if you can see through me," He demurs with a laugh.
She pouts and drapes herself over the table, head bending to squint at him.
“You’re a liar, Deku-kun.”
Ah, that’s true. “I do my best,” he singsongs. A glance up and down her body. Good, no suction needles anywhere. Though, knowing her, there is at least one hidden blade on her person.
(As much as Toga makes it hard for him to truly sleep soundly at night, she’s still useful.
One of the sharpest blades in his disposal.
He’d be a fool if he couldn’t retain her loyalty. Loyal, loyal Toga, as long as he could keep her entertained, dancing on a blade’s edge from becoming her next victim.)
Toga picks up the topic again, prodding at him. “Don’t we have Manami-chan already through their records? You could totally mess them up anytime.”
This is when Dabi saunters over, light on his feet. He’s probably had enough of their high school girl-type talk. Though, Izuku supposes he is kind of one. A tenseness in his gait though. He can feel the restless energy roiling off him like a caged panther pacing. “Under Endeavour, huh,” he says, his words smouldering with that particular hatred he’s held for the Flame Hero all these years.
Toga sidles up next to him. “Hey, when are we going to kill another hero again, Deku-kun? I’m bored~”
They had been quiet for a while after all.
Dabi’s stare bores through him like the blue flames he manipulates. Yes, yes he knows.
He smiles.
Time to put that plan into action then.
* Shouto sighs a long breath, watching it form white in the night air. It’s been a long day — of patrolling, emergency response, PR response — and he’d finally wrangled Bakugou into going out. For fun. It’s like Bakugou doesn’t know what that concept is, overachiever that he is. Not that Shouto has a much better idea himself, growing up like he had.
He’s looking forward to getting into his apartment. And sinking into a long bath. He’s not going to look at his phone for a good long while.
Shadows crisscross the path before him from lampposts. And then he sees a stutter in the image.
He hears the thud before he feels it. Someone's tripped into him.
“Ah, I’m sorry!” Vibrant green eyes look up at him, panicked. He sees the flash of them in the night and is momentarily sidetracked.
What was that feeling? A thrum, like a line cast into the night.
A flutter of pages. He dropped his files, just coming from behind him. So there was another office worker that had worked till this late at night.
He bends down to help the stooped figure. "It's alright." He picks up a paper and sees the headline on it. "Ah, so you also work here."
"Y-yes!" The young man squeaks, appearing too taken aback to make eye contact with him. "I'm just one of the many paper pushers in there, ahaha. So sorry, ah, thank you," he says meekly upon taking Shouto's handful.
They stand, and Shouto watches with a tad resignation as the young man starts, the glint of recognition in his eyes turning into full panic. “T-todoroki—! Temperance! I’m honoured.” His hands fumble, unsure whether to go for a handshake, and he looks like he’s about to drop his folders again so Shouto reaches in to steady the grip for him.
Their fingers brush against one another’s, and the young man looks fit to faint.
There is a flush on his face that Shouto is convinced only appears on fever patients.
“Are you alright?” He asks, concerned. Freckles dot pale cheeks, and he feels compelled to observe this person further.
“Thank you,” the young man says shyly. A small smile forms as he finally makes eye contact with him. “I’ll be good after a good night’s sleep.”
He looks like he needs it. There are shadows underneath his eyes. “Rest well then.” A tug in his throat. Shouto follows, curious. “Your name?”
“Oh! I’m… Midoriya Izuku.” A blink, and Shouto could have sworn there was an amused look in his eyes just now.
“Then, see you, Midoriya.” Shouto begins to walk again, expecting Midoriya to also be going the same way as him. It is the main road after all.
He does not. He turns back to see Midoriya tip his head at him, smiling genially. The electric light catches the top of his hair, giving it a green shine. “See you soon, Todoroki Shouto.”
He turns on his heel, and melts into the shadows.
* Stark midday. Clocks strike twelve, digital figures switch to 12:00, and then the screens of Tokyo freeze into black. It’s everywhere — live feeds, main TV channels, ads milling by — all superseded by a strange blackness.
Within the metropolis, citizens wonder if it’s a blackout.
All is still for a moment.
But then, a warped voice speaks. A masked face steps out, bowing to the camera. “Greetings, everyone.” Green subtitles scroll underneath.
When they straighten up, only the lower part of their face is visible. It is a bandanna wrapped around their chin, with a feral, toothy grin on it. “We apologise for the rude interruption, but we doubt your current system would let you listen to us without some… drastic measures.” The figure puts up a hand, waving it in the air lightly.
“Let me ask you, citizens… what is justice to you? What is a true hero? Is it what we have now? Where our top heroes are picked based on popularity stats?
We will be revealing our next operation in 24 hours. Stay tuned.”
And with that, the black screen zaps out with a flash, and all broadcasts are back to normal.
What was that? The media ask, shaken.
* Tsukauchi calls them in , grim-faced. "How much do you know of the villain Deku?"
Silence. Todoroki is clearly confused.
It is as if a vice had slammed down in his throat. "Deku?" He hears himself echo, almost hoarse. A name he had not heard in years. A name he had pushed out of his mind, only just able to open a door to childhood memory.  Yes, he'd wondered what'd happened to the nerd at times, especially whenever he passed by the neighbourhood.
(No, it can't be him.
(Not Shitty Deku who dreamed bigger than anyone. Whose dreams would have gotten him killed.)
He'd never once dropped in. Sometimes his mum mentioned bumping into her at some sales or such, and asked him about Deku, but he'd always end up snapping that he had no word.
"Pity, you two used to be such good friends," she'd sigh after she'd boxed his ears. "Inko does look like she's getting... " She hesitated, unsure how to put it. "Tireder."
He's snapped back into the present by Tsukauchi's look of sympathy at him.
"We've recently gotten a source that the real identity of Deku may be Midoriya Izuku. And through investigation it appears you were once well acquainted with him."
"From witness observations, Midoriya does not appear to live with his mother despite his name being registered under the residence. Not for a few years, in fact." 
// *yeets out a dusty old BNHA WIP once more* wrote all this in 2019 for the todobakudeku exchange! (yes it was for normalcryptid) I couldn’t finish it, decided I didn’t like it (looking back, I really overthought accuracy too much), so I scrapped it. I highly doubt I will revisit this first draft of a future AU. So feel free to adopt.
Concept notes: 1. Villain/hero au
2. any variation of soulmate au   -maybe if they're soulmates they'll catch themselves in sync, hearing the other's thoughts? Little by little, depending on the bond between them
3. partner pro heroes
It's a lovely day in the city for the debut of two new heroes — and Midoriya Izuku, villain understudy, is in a very nasty mood.
aka
the AU where Midoriya Izuku becomes a villain instead, and Bakugou and Todoroki are the pro heroes who have to catch him. Also, and they were soulmates.
-And oh, add to the fact it’s also, hmm. A certain asshole hero’s birthday. Will wonders never cease, he actually made it this far.
bonus: the outline of the fic I submitted that never was:
-operation: track him down
-more villain stuff - their current op? kill Endeavour -when you forgot what dabi's in for 'he did take out much of re-destro and some of the lov," he mused, both a positive and a negative. less pesky competition to get a propaganda out, but also potentially less skilled people/mercenaries they drew. oh well, perhaps it was best they could draw fanboys for now. They promised loyalty at the very least.
-shit falls out on all media
-todo is in shock. all the todos are.
-'we'll be broadcasting why we've selected him this time. Usually, public, we have not touched your top 10 heroes, not even the top 50 if we could help it'
-'however, old sins must be answered for.' we will broadcast the details of these as we go along the acts to Endeavour's execution.'
-baku finally goes to talk to midoriya inko (todo tags along)
-deku's perspective: stain's not convinced of their plan as dabi was the main motivator, but deku shrugs: "even if we fail, we're destroying his reputation" he turns to dabi "with witness and what la brava has found as well"-todo's very concerned, ends up going with his father more on patrol -enji is soft is his son finally talking to him-(toga ofc exploits this to transform into todo and stab him on the day)- they'd infiltrated the agency for quite a while-toga, la brava, spinner, mido-thus know the schedules of everyone
-mido gets todo out of the way while toga steps in -knockout drops
-dabi, gentle and la brava out in wait in an alleyway
-baku finds midotodo, gets angry af
'why kacchan, nice to see you-'
'BASTARD!" he howled
-stain's broadcasting the stuff: dabi strikes while the damning facts are being broadcasted
-reunion conversation while mido throws an extinguisher bomb at him before escaping
-spinner is the getaway driver
-endeavour is not faring well he's reeling from both the stab and the fire and the emotional shock
-mido holds up todo's unconscious body, endeavour surrenders 'don't kill him, touya'
-baku blasts in very angry and snatches todo back, slaps him back to life
-back-up arrives, baku growls at them to stay out of this (bakudeku fight while others slink off one by one)
-'now you admit it? then you should know how i feel'
-'we can't be on the same side sadly'
'bye' a sinister smile - reverse of that scene -todobaku doing their best to arrest him

Undress Rehearsal (Duncan Shepherd x fem!Reader)
Summary: You got a fashion degree and moved to DC to work as stylist assistant. Unexpectedly you meet a familiar face during a meeting and it seems there’s a spark between you two...but things may take a wrong turn.
A/N: Hey lovelies!! This is my first fic EVER, so be nice! Also, forgive any grammar mistake (English isn’t my first language). Since the ending is kinda open, I guess I could write a PART 2. I’m so happy to finally be able to post this one-shot, even though it sucks! I’d appreciate every comment/reblog/DM about it and about how I could actually improve my writing. This is a sort of experiment! I’m still trying to figure out “my style”. Oh and this is important: bold type means flashback, italics are Y/N’s thoughts and // means a few days passed! ENJOY and thank you for reading! I love you.
Warnings: mean!Duncan (just a little), making out and veeery light NSFW, plot!twist, lol I think that’s enough(?)

moodboard by the talented @hecohansen31​
You were late again. It happened twice this week. But how could that happen? You had always been a punctual and reliable person, at night you ensured that the alarm was correctly set and you never went to bed too late, afraid to not being able to wake up the morning after. So how could it be possible? Maybe because of your jetlag, but after almost a month, well, this had become a really bad excuse. Then perhaps, the frenetic pace was already affecting you that much, making you too tired to hurry up and get ready. This couldn’t happen again; you were jeopardizing your new dream job because of this straggler behavior. While you were running along the streets of Washington DC, those were your recurring thoughts. Your wheezing and the speeded-up heartbeats, pounding in your hears, were drowning out any deafening noise coming from cars and traffic, which always filled the city driveways.
From the early hours of the day, the avenues were swarming with people going to their office, each of them withdrawn into oneself, busy minding their own business with their smartphones, bringing takeaway breakfast on the other hand. You were way too anxious and distracted from running breathlessly; you had already bumped into three stupid human beings, slowly strolling down the sidewalk like damn sloths. Every single step was followed by a quick glance at your cellphone screen, checking the time and ensuring there was no missed call of your boss.
If you knew anything in this world, it was that you had to take this job seriously, dealing with the fact that your exhausting dues would have allowed your eager ass to work your way up and finally become a fashion designer. So, you didn’t expect any great satisfaction to come very soon. And starting from the bottom was really tough. After years of studying and a well-deserved university degree, you were prepared for whatever the future might have brought. Despite that, you didn’t expect at all to end up in DC, working as a stylist assistant. Sure, this would have opened the door to your real dream job, be part of the style department, designing collections for a luxury brand. You had tried your luck moving to New York, but you ended up broke, with no savings left and no available job opening. For this reason, you decided to take that chance here. You hadn’t made any progress till now though. You were new, yes, but your tasks and assignments were hardly restricted to bring coffee or running around the Capital with tons of garment bags for upcoming fittings.
Finally, after that insane 3km rush, without even stopping for a second - no, you couldn’t afford an Uber ride every time -, you arrived. Your feet hurt like hell, your cheeks covered with scarlet shades like the worst of sunburns and your breath coming in short gasps…and your hair, oh dear Lord, it was a mess. You were sure you were also sweating. Luckily, Richard, your boss, was quite nice to you and somewhat tolerant; he was sincerely impressed by all your efforts, skills and abilities, so much that he wasn’t utterly certain what you were doing there.
Five minutes past the established hour and, thank God, the client hadn’t arrived yet. You didn’t have much information or details about that meeting. You only knew that you had to help during a fitting for a client, extremely influential on the political scene. He needed a few new looks and outfits for public appearances, interviews, and fundraising events. Of course, you assumed he would have been an old middle-aged white man, with too much money to count and eager for power.
Mr moneybags is getting late tho. Too busy making grands? you thought.
Meanwhile, you were trying to look more presentable, also to not risk damaging the brand reputation.
“Y/N?”
Your calves burned and, in that moment, you thought that bringing extra sneakers would have been a good idea.
“Y/N?!”
Since the client hadn’t arrived yet, maybe you could sit down and rest for a minute on that super comfy booth near the mirror…
“Y/N!!!! HELLOO!!!” Your train of thoughts was abruptly interrupted by your boss’ yells, which suddenly caught your attention.
“Oh my God, I’m sorry, I zoned out! Forgive me, what can I do for you?”
The man, a healthy and elegant 40ish brunette, looked at you concerned “Y/N I know it’s hard to settle down, but I need you to be 100% focused today. The man who’s coming is a big deal for us, he’s a powerful figure in Washington politics! He has recently taken her mother’s place as CEO of the family company. So, I want us to make a good impression!” after saying that, he looked at you from head to toe, a bit baffled.
“So…” he continued “…I need you to – in that moment you really hoped you were about to receive a major task, finally a turning point – ..to run to the bar across the street and buy some coffee, and come back quickly!” All your expectations fell apart in a sea of disappointment. “Hurry up!”
You put on a forced smile and went straight to the exit.
After having waited in line for centuries, you figured that probably the client had to have arrived, and therefore, just as you had started your day, you came back running as fast as you could, to save time.
You were holding the coffee cups in your left hand, while you were struggling to turn off your phone, which had started ringing. Opening the glass door with your hip, you were still trying to silence the ringtone, this, without even minding where put your feet up. Ugh, mom, stop calling me...always the worst timing! you screamed in your own mind, frowning. Before you could slow down your steps, one of your heels didn’t grip well the lacquered floor, making you stumble and trip. A sudden change in your balance and you couldn’t avoid slipping forward, causing the not-so-angelic flying of coffee directly on the special guest of the situation.
Damn it.
And to make matters worse, you fell to the ground, cursing the day you were born. Hell no, it can’t have really happened to me. You had just made a complete ass of yourself. You would have rather sink below the waves into the oblivion.
“OH SHIT SHIT SHIT I-I’m so sorry! I-I don’t know h-how it happened!” you were apologizing, still keeping your eyes fixed on the once-full cups rolling down the parquet, next to your badly chipped mobile touchscreen.
“The floor must be slippery…please let me make it up to you, I ca- ” you stopped all of a sudden when you lifted your gaze, for the first time since you had stepped in. Standing in front of you there was the most attractive man you’d ever seen. His piercing blue eyes were fixed on you, like two burning flames almost forming deep holes in your soul.
It’s hot in here or it’s just me?
He was tall and his toned arms were easily visible through the once-white shirt. Now that expensive fashion piece was all covered by a huge stain of hot coffee. And it was your fault. You were speechless. Your attention all focused on the man’s features. Your gaze was busy running down those perfect shaped cheekbones and the sharp jawline. Oh boy, gods’ gift indeed.
Oddly familiar to you though.
You clearly remained to stare for too long to not be noticed, because the man himself broke the silence.
“Uhm, don’t worry” he seemed taken aback for a second “I’ll send it to the cleaners or I’ll throw it away, I don’t care” he said, immediately composing himself, while carefully unbuttoning the ruined shirt, with those long fingers... You were blushing. His low soothing voice sent shivers down your spine. But his tone was plain, no apparent emotion, he seemed almost indifferent, maybe even a little annoyed. Ah, pompous ass.
Your attention was caught by your boss, who, with a worried voice, while pinching the bridge of his nose with his eyes closed, proposed him to choose another shirt among the others and take it as an apology gift. The man accepted, nodding with a crooked smile and with smug remarks about the needlessness of gifts for a man as rich as him.
Cocky asshole! You mused, with a roll of her eyes.
Anxious to change the subject, Richard, started the introductions. “Mr Shepherd, she is my smart – but clearly clumsy – assistant, Y/N” at that very moment that name awoke the memories in your mind.
No. It can’t be true.
“Well, nice to meet you” he remarked “Y/N”, repeating your name like he was tasting it on his own tongue “..or so.” he added, with a stupid smug grin on his breathtaking face. When they shook hands, you felt a sort of jolt and realized you had been holding your breath all this time. You remained silent.
That was the same man you met 6 months ago on the flight you took to go to New York, when you moved for the first time. It was him the influential man of the meeting.
Duncan-fucking-Shepherd.
//
Duncan. This name was the only thing in your mind right now, while you were lying on the couch, in your little apartment, with a glass of wine loosely resting on your lower lip. Oh my God, did he recognize me? Did he figure out it was me? How had he called me that day? Oh, his angel, right. Fuck.
Your head hurt, but you couldn’t help but keep on repeat your two first meetings again and again in your mind. The Duncan Shepherd from today was completely different, compared to the man you had encountered on that plane.
He hadn’t talked about himself very much, just spilled that he was a businessman traveling for work. You had immediately noticed how mature he was to be in his late 20ish. And incredibly handsome. And charming. And seductive.
Ok, stop.
You still couldn’t understand why you. Among all the attractive available women he could easily have, during all the time of the flight, he had been flirting with you. You. He made you feel sexy, desirable and safe, after a very long time.
It was the first class. You were there because of a lucky misunderstanding. While the plane was taking off, you two had a moment, since he saw you panicking. You had started talking for real only two hours after having left Milan. The conversation started casually, then developed into a flirty game. Little did you knew that a few hours later, you would eventually find yourselves making out so much intensely, whilst the rest of the passengers was sleeping with lights off. This wasn’t like you; you were strangers after all. Damn, you only knew his first name. But you couldn’t help your crazy attraction towards him. A sort of electricity, a particular connection that you had never felt with anybody else in your life.
You were staring off into space, completely lost in your inner thoughts, while biting hard your lip and fidgeting with the hem of your oversize t-shirt. You nervously swallowed and closed your eyes. Your hand began to move from the fabric and wander over your bare legs, brushing them with your fingertips. Throwing back your head and swallowing again, you frowned and sighed. You couldn’t make those thoughts disappear. He got under your skin and no matter what you did, you couldn’t shake him.
His soft lips on yours, hot and peachy, the trailing of his wet open-mouthed kisses along your throat and the series of marks he was leaving on your skin, on the way down your collarbone. Feeling the smile of the other against your lips as you two kissed. The best feeling in the world. His small moans when you had pulled his lower lips between your teeth, while his hands were touching and roaming all over your body, as if he wanted to memorize each spot, each curve, each part of you. “Baby I wish it was just the two of us right now, damn, I want you so badly” he whispered. God, if they had been alone, you’d have gone further for sure. You were both turned on, you could tell, especially from the prominent bulge on his designer pants. All you wanted was to climb on top of him, straddling his hips, panting in his hear and feel his hot breath all over you. Intense was the craving to undress him, feel his skin against yours. Shit, it was like a living a dream.
The meeting had been canceled and rescheduled for tomorrow. The situation was quite unpleasant. What you were supposed to do now?
//
Judgment Day had come. You hadn’t slept at all, all night spent tossing and turning between the sheets and looking at the ceiling. How were you supposed to act now? Should you have mentioned anything? What was really killing you, was the feeling that ‘your moment’ had meant nothing for him. Yes, after 6 months, you had gone over it, also because you had no idea how to contact him. But after seeing him again, all the buried thrills came rushing back. You absolutely needed to test the waters today. What did you have to lose? Well, your dignity maybe. If he wanted to, Duncan could have easily said something. And of course, a man of his status could have anything, or anybody, he wanted. Maybe you were overthinking, maybe not.
Since it was almost dawn, and the sun was peeking through the blinds, creating a delicate play of lights and shadows on the curtains, you decided you could actually distract yourself choosing what to wear for the meeting. You shouldn’t have done it. Your bedroom had become a battlefield, all your clothes scattered all over it, like some lifeless leftovers of the closet, now empty. Almost like a little bomb went off. You kept trying combinations on combinations, each time taking off the pieces and throwing them away anywhere around you, as if you were on the verge of a breakdown. It was still a business meeting; you couldn’t dress up too revealing or doll up too much. But at the same time, you’d never give up on being yourself and express your personality through what you wore. Respecting yourself was the most important thing. Self-love. However, this didn’t solve the problem at all. You wanted to appear at your best, challenge him, in a subtle way.
On your way to the office, an unexpected call tuned you away from your own thoughts.
“Richard! Good morning! Are you calling me for coffee? Because I’ve already stopped off at the bar, now tell me who is the best assistant in the whole world?! And I’m not even late!” your smile vanished as soon as your boss answered.
“WHAT?! What does it mean you won’t be there today?” Your heart skipped a beat and started pumping so much blood through your veins, that you felt as a heatwave was rushing inside of you. “W-well if you have family issues, we agree that it’s necessary to postpone the gathering..I-” your eyes widened at the realization that you’d be alone. With Duncan.
You almost fainted on the spot.
“I’m sure you can handle it on your own! You can still reach me with a phone call, if you ever need me. Plus, don’t you think this would be the right chance to prove yourself and finally level up, get noticed and considered for that vacant position in the style & design dep.? My money’s on you, girl!”
How could you blame him, though? He was always so encouraging.
You sighed through the phone, so he added “Look, it won’t be hard. Remember that Mr Shepherd is in your hands. We have to turn him into one of the brand advocates; he’s young, a self-made man, the best choice to promote the brand awareness. It’s up to you now.”
Wow, that’s very reassuring you figured, shaking your head.
“Ok, you can do this, I have to go now, let me know how it goes. Bye!” Fuck.
“W-wait! I can’t do that withou-” he has already hung up. Looking up to the sky and letting out a frustrating grunt, you allowed yourself a childish whine and mumbled a ‘why me’.
Now you were standing outside the building, trying to collect yourself before entering. You were wearing an oversized see-through blouse, tucked in a black knee-length skirt, and an *accent color* blazer with rolled-up sleeves, to complete the look. You were ready to fight. No more clumsy bullshit.
Breathe, remember to breathe you reminded yourself, looking at the elevator door.
You strode next to the receptionist’s desk, Tiffany, or, as you liked to call her, ‘Crazypants’; since her eyes were always so disturbingly wide open – Does she ever blink? – and her hair painfully pinned back, so tight that must have hurt her. She seemed a cross between a barbie and a psycho killer. As soon as you walked by her desk, Crazypants greeted you overly excited, calling you with her earsplitting high-pitched voice. You put on your fakest smile and replied,
“Morning Tiff, uhm, I wish I could stay and chat, but I have work to-”
“The client is already here. He’s waiting for you in the fitting room” she winked. Hell, you hoped your blushing wasn’t so obvious, you couldn’t even have a few minutes to be psychologically prepared. Well, maybe better pull off the band-aid.
“Thank you for warning me! I’ll be right there” you answered. Not even before your exams you felt all this pressure.
Why is it always so hot?!
Walking along the hallway as if you were going to your own execution, you found yourself in front of the door of the rehearsal room. You gently opened it and entered. Do you know when, at some point in movies, there’s a slow-motion moment with background music?! There it was. Precisely. He had his back turned, gazing the skyline through the glass wall. And the second he heard the clicking of a pair of heels, he turned his head, smiling at you and looking intensely at your figure. You were about to die for real now.
How could someone be so beautiful?
His hair perfectly styled, his hot stubble,... Oh, that stubble was your weakness. You could already feel it between your legs and…
“Hey hey, easy with that” he teased with his deep honeyed voice, pointing the take-out coffee cups you were holding. You winced and giggled
“I’ll never stop apologizing about that, ehm, incident…but if you want one, go ahead!”
You looked at each other smiling for a while, until you had to break the silence and eventually get down to business. “So, I guess it’s better if we start…Mr Shepherd, so then you’ll be free to go back to work”, he exhaled and nodded
“Oh please, just call me Duncan.”
You saw a sort of shift in his features. His face went blank. He adopted a bossier and intimidating position, like last time. Ok, maybe he just wants to keep it professional, I understand.
“When is Richard coming?” he questioned while taking his trench coat off. “To be honest, it’ll just be me today, but it’s all right, you’re in good hands” you slightly smiled. He sighed again and you rose your eyebrow, taking it as an unspoken insult.
“Is there a problem?”
“Well, yes, I didn’t come here to waste my time with a newbie assistant.” Your jaw dropped.
“Excuse me?”
“No need to get upset darling, this is what you are, after all” he stated shrugging. You were speechless; yes, you were an assistant, but the way he said that, as if you were a dumb zero…What an asshole.
“Oookay, since I’m here..let’s continue” he glanced at you, waiting for her next move. “I agree, you can change in the wa-” you paused; he was literally undressing in front of you.
“What? There’s nothing you’ve never seen...I guess” You were confused…was he teasing you or something? “You should be more professional, I’m saying it for you”, your rage slowly increasing and flowing throughout your entire body. He was a completely different man, with all those unnecessary mean remarks. He gave you mixed feelings. You would have punched him, but at the same time, contemplating his perfectly-shaped heavenly body, his toned muscles, his thighs..you wanted to jump on him, kiss him and be his, in every way possible.
“You’re staring.”
“W-what?! No. I’m waiting for you to finish undressing, so I can give you the first change to wear..”
“Sure.”
You’d already had enough of his attitude. “I suggest starting with this evening suit, since Richard told me you’ll attend a charity gala in a few days.”
“Hush, please, save it. I don’t need all your pointless suggestions. I can handle it by myself.” he seemed almost..angry? You didn’t know how to hit back anymore. Why was he acting like that, all of a sudden? He tried on a few different outfits while you were staying there, silent, shifting your weight from a leg to another, your eyes wandering through the room, your lips pressed into a thin line and your mind trying to figure out what was happening. Duncan, noticing the tapping of your fingers on your thigh, rolled his eyes and gave you an annoyed look.
Then he huffed “Impatient, uh?”
You were hovering on the brink of an outburst.
“Why don’t you do your job and bring me some water, or take notes, or whatever you get paid for?”
“My job is helping you find a set of appropriate clothes for various occasions, trying to create the right mix & match that suits your taste and personality...” you retorted in a plain tone.
“Oh, thanks for the not required explanation, Wikipedia..”
“..but I’m not stupid, I know what a fucking stylist does” he was pushing your buttons.
“If you’d allow me to do my job, instead of questioning me, I could recommend something..”
“No need to whine, baby girl…So do it, instead of staying there like a scared little girl.”
“If relying on someone to select your wardrobe really bothers you..why don’t you choose them by yourself?” you sassed, struggling to remain polite.
“Well, I’ve demanded the help of a professional, not that of a ‘coffee-bringer’…and I’m wasting my time here”.
Ok, that’s enough.
He was still a client, but for you being treated like that wasn’t acceptable anymore. “You know what? I don’t fucking care if I get fired after saying these words. But I’m done with your dumbass comments. You’re a douchebag. I’m trying to do my job and, just because you’re rich and influential, you think you can treat me like that. Like I’m trash?” you were finally giving in to an outburst “The saddest thing is that I really hoped you would remember me. About that moment we shared 6 months ago, on that flight to New York. But obviously, I’ve given it much thought. Turns out that I’m just one of many, aren’t I? I’ve been thinking about you for weeks and when I saw you again, it all came flooding back. I’m so stupid. It’s not your fault, I was wrong to think that day could have really meant something.”
While talking, you were struggling to hold back the tears, you weren’t supposed to look pathetic, but your eyes were already watering. “So, do me a favor: end this meeting now. I’ll call Richard and tell him to take care of you, since you do not believe I’m capable enough to fulfill your needs..”
“..oh and don’t worry about seeing me again, I don’t want anything to do with you! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got work to do.” you spat, entering the small wardrobe room, without bothering to switch on the light, hoping that your angry tears would have remained unnoticed in the darkness and that Duncan would have gone for good. So you started moving crutches on the clothes stand, to make room for those outfits to restock over.
Unexpectedly you felt an arm around your waist, holding you tightly. It was Duncan. He hadn’t left.
His body pressed against yours, you were paralyzed, his arms keeping a firm grip on you. What’s happening? You knew you should have pushed him back and kick him out, but something inside you decided against it. It was like a part of your dumb heart wanted to stay still in that position forever. You two remained silent, until he whispered in your hear, with his hot breath and his cologne filling your nostrils - a mixture of cinnamon, sandalwood and tobacco.
“I’m sorry..” he sighed. He sounded sincere.
“..I went too far.”
Now your own hands were resting upon his arms. You could feel the heat his body was radiating right now. With a honeyed soft tone, he murmured “Please forgive me, I don’t know what came over me. It’s just that having you standing here again, in front of me, stunned me. I didn’t know what to do and I misunderstood your demeanor. I thought you were pretending nothing had happened, or that you didn’t recall that day, or that you simply didn’t care.”
His hold slowly loosened, allowing you to turn around and look at him with narrowed eyes and a puzzled expression, without a word.
“Uhm, I’m not very good at communicating my emotions, but you’re right. I’ve been a dick. You didn’t deserve it, but I was overwhelmed by the attempt to suppress my own feelings. Since I saw you again,”
he paused,
“you are all I can think about.” he admitted, stroking your tear-stained cheek with his thumb, but you tried to resist him,
“I hope you’re not trying to play me, because otherwise I’ll smash that stupid hot smirk to the ground.”
“So do you think I’m hot, uh?!”
“You dumbass.”
“God, you’re so damn sexy when you’re mad.” he teased, coming closer.
“What?” you giggled. He stared at your lips “I just can’t stop thinking about kissing you right now…” and unexpectedly, his hand drifted to your hip, pulling you even closer. You inhaled deeply. You were against his warm chest, sculpted to perfection. Why must he be so perfect? You placed your hand against it, intending to push him away, but instead you left it there. You froze, from both fear and excitement.
You two stared into each other’s eyes and his breathing quickened as did yours. He slowly leaned in, so his forehead rested against yours. You closed your eyes. Your faces were inches apart now, and he lightly traced your lips with one finger. His other hand placed behind your neck, shortening the distance even more.
Your noses bumped and your mouths matched up slightly-opened, breathing each other’s air directly. He brushed his lips against yours and you freaking loved it. You loved the way your body melted into his. The way your lips perfectly fitted like two puzzle pieces. The way Duncan held you tighter and tighter. It sent shivers down your back. His only desire was to touch you, to move his hands under your layers and feel your smooth skin.
You two broke the kiss for a second to catch your breath. Then he pulled you in, claiming your mouth again, hungry and intense. Duncan lowered his hands down your hips, cupping your ass and dragging you impossibly close. You deepened the kiss swallowing his groan of pleasure as you lost into each other, no space between you two. His hands were exploring your body, while you grabbed his hair tightly to restrain your own moans.
Slowly, you started exploring each other’s mouths with your tongues. Sometimes sucking his lower lip and biting it a little bit. He started kissing your jaw and leaving hickeys on your neck. He didn’t want to let you go, so he pulled you again and kissed you so hard, with much more intensity. He squeezed you, suggesting that he wasn’t going to stop. You didn’t mind at all and continued making out.
He slowly put his hands under your blouse, trying to reach and unhook your bra, eager to run his fingers along your breasts and rub it. You began unbuttoning his button-down, seductively leaving wet kisses and love bites on his chest. He moaned. Then Duncan raised your blouse and took it off completely, so he could see you.
“You’re beautiful” he purred, and started massaging your chest and kissing it hardly, licking and biting gently your nipple. While Duncan was playing with your body, you could only keep on tugging his hair, making his moans vibrate against your body. Then he kneeled down kissing your stomach.
Both of you couldn’t silent your groans anymore, the entire room was filled by sexual noises. But you didn’t care at all. You knew where it was going. Duncan pushed you against a wall, grinding on you and you could clearly feel his hardness pressed against your body. You needed more friction.
“Jump.” he suddenly hinted, and used his veiny arms to hold you up by your thighs lifting you off the ground. You wrapped your legs around his waist. Your core was throbbing at that very moment.
But you were brought back to planet Earth right after; that divine feeling was ruined by a pesky thought that clouded your mind.
What if he’s just interested in sex?
He sensed your sudden slowing down. “If you want me to stop, tell me now,” he whispered. When you remained silent, he brushed his mouth against your temple,
“Or now.”
he followed the line of your cheekbone,
“Or now.”
now he was kissing your chin,
“Or—”
then your lips were against his, again. You kept undressing slowly, savoring the moment.
But that damn thought came back, stuck in your mind. And eventually it hit you. “Wait…wait” you said, trying to steady your breathing.
“What’s wrong angel? I did something wrong or..” he questioned worriedly. “No, not at all, it was perfect..but I don’t think this is right.”
“Wait what?! Why?” Duncan replied in disbelief.
“I’m not a yes girl, Duncan. I’m not looking for casual hookups, I really want to know you better and see where this leads us.” you smiled reassuringly, caressing his cheek. You were scared as fuck. Maybe he wasn’t interested in any kind of relationship, just random booty calls. But you had to take the risk. You wanted to.
“Uhm..yeah. I guess that sounds fair enough.” he chuckled and you released the breath you didn’t know you were holding. “How about a coffee date? I know a place, it’s quite secluded, to not attract the attention of press and journalists” you tilted your head and frowned,
“What do you mean?”
“Angel, I don’t want you to be targeted by newspapers, they aim to find some dirt on me and make every aspect of my private life public. I prefer keeping a low profile, and put you in an uncomfortable position is the last thing I would want.” “Oh, ok. I got it.” you were a little thoughtful, to be honest. But in that moment, you would have agreed with everything he was saying. You used every inch of strength you had, to stop and not go further. Not that there was anything wrong with that. You just wished to learn more about that handsome man in front of you; his desires, his passions, his values and aspirations.
“I’d better get back to work, they’ll wonder what happened to me.” he smirked. “Yeah, you better hurry up, then” you laughed, while putting your blouse on. “I’m gonna put aside the chosen clothes” you informed, but before you could leave the cramped room, he grabbed your hand and pulled you back in his arms, giving a last soft peck on your lips.
“How can I focus now, with the thought of you against me?!”
“You’ll have to make do with the memory..” you shot back “..for now.” you cooed, whispering in his hear.
The rest of the day went off without a hitch. You had exchanged numbers and with all those texts you were sending to each other, you felt like a schoolgirl again. Nothing could have ruined that sensation. Before going back home, Richard called you, questioning you about the meeting, not noticing your struggle to not make disconnected sentences or beat around the bush, to hide your embarrassment. Then, to thank you for having his back, he gave you another assignment: a high-society lady had requested a selection of gowns to choose, to attend a few fundraising events. Another important add-on for your CV. A few more efforts and they would have finally offered you the long-awaited position in the creative team.
//
The consultation had been set up two days later, you had to go to the customer’s penthouse this time. Ugh, lazy rich people. You rang the doorbell and right after you were greeted by a thin blonde girl, all fake boobs and tinted tips, wearing a dress that seemed closer to a long top, rather than an actual dress.
“Hey, you must be Y/N! Come in! I’ll be right back” she yelled. You came in holding the garment bag; you were shocked when you found out how actually big the apartment was: super modern, black & white themed and with some art hanging on the walls.
Uhm, de gustibus you muttered to yourself.
“Here I am, sorry for the waiting. I am Madison!” Why rich people seem so reluctant to share their last name with me? you mused, smiling to yourself.
“Let’s start, shall we?”
And then Madison took you to what has to be her large bedroom. Odd. That seemed more like a bachelor to you, but judging wasn’t your thing.
The fitting went smooth as silk. This Madison was a bombshell, every single dress fitted her body as it was sewn on her. For the upcoming event she chose a nude silk dress, that perfectly matched her skin tone. She looked pretty excited for the pick, so much that she started screaming and calling out loud, making you aware that there was someone else around.
“Muffin come here!!! I chose the dress!! It’s perfect oh my God! You must see it before I take it off!”
MUFFIN.
Seriously? Do not laugh, please, do not laugh.
You were biting her lip a little too hard. While Madison kept calling her…muffin, you decided to do something and began packing all the stuff back up into the bag.
“Oh finally, you walk so slow, babe…now, look! What do you think?” Before the man could answer she continued “Oh wait, how rude I am. Y/N, this is my fiancé...”
As soon as you turned around and lifted your gaze, your heart stopped beating.
“…Duncan!”
His smile soon disappeared too, replaced by a shocked and guilty expression, like a deer caught in the headlights. You froze in place.
You were trying to hold back the impending flood of tears, washing it away with your anger. A million different feelings rushed through you, but at the same time you couldn’t feel anything, just your own heart, literally breaking down in pieces.
“Do you already know each other?” Madison asked, noting Duncan’s surprise. You gathered all the strength left within you and stated
“Just one of the many customers.”
Then, lowering your broken voice, you sputtered a “Now I really have to go.”
Without saying anything more, you took the garment bag and run straight to the door, shutting it down behind your back. Right after, a teardrop rolled over your cheek, and your eyes started watering. Once that the first tear broke free, the rest followed in an unbroken stream. Before turning into a sobbing mess, you walked fast down the hallway, reaching the elevator and waiting for the doors to open up.
Before you could take another step, a large hand took you by the wrist, keeping you in place. You turned around and instantly pushed him back, trying to free yourself from his grip.
“Please,” he begged,
“Let me explain. Please, I don’t want to lose you! We have something..w-we can talk about it, please, wait!”
“Go to Hell” you snapped;
and then you shoved his hand away, entering the elevator. Stupid. I am so fucking stupid. You two looked at each other one last time, shedding tears. The eyes of both soaking blatantly. And then the doors shut.
That heartbreak felt like concrete drying in your chest.

I was tagged by @makeitpoppy 💕😍
Are you staying at home from work/school?
So, I haven't been to work since beginning of March but I have to go back there next week (for now it's just a meeting bc I'm working in a hotel & my schedule depends on the amount of guests we have). I've been really happy about that tho bc I still get paid & just before the pandemic happend, I got really overwhelmed by my work & started to hate it a lot. I also had some issues with a colleague & I dread having to see her again. I had really wished that I wouldn't have to go back there anytime soon.
University has also been cancelled after only one regular week & I only have online classes now. Tbf tho, I would've only had one class overall this semester bc I'm in my last semester of university & only my master's thesis is left. My only class is a Japanese conversation class, which is online now & I'm really struggling with the format lol. It's so odd to have to talk to people when you can't see them & half the time you also can't hear them properly.
As for my master's thesis...at first I was fine with quarantine & uni being cancelled bc I thought it'd give me time to focus on my thesis but unexpectedly libraries also closed for two months & I wasn't able to get any books until beginning of May. So I basically didn't do anything at home ahaha.
If you’re at home, who is there with you?
No one. My mum used to be there occasionally but she has since gone to her boyfriend's house and rarely ever comes. (Which is totally fine btw. She really stresses me out lol)
Do you have pets to keep you company?
No 💔
Who do you miss the most?
I have social anxiety so I'm actually quite happy about not having to see anyone. I also feel like I talk (via phone) to my friends & family way more often now. I do however, miss certain activities like going shopping with my friends. Oh & hugs! I also miss my sister & her girlfriend bc it's always fun being around them. And I miss the people in my Japanese class. Online classes really take away the social aspects of it (Like talking with people before & after).
When was the last time you left your home?
Yesterday! I went to the supermarket bc my fridge was v v empty. The last time I left to go somewhere else was last Thursday when I went to the library.
What was the last thing you bought?
The last thing I bought in person was food. Last online purchase were face masks (as in sheet masks) ahaha.
Is quarantine driving you insane or are you finally relaxed?
I'm sort of relaxed? Like more relaxed than usual I think. I'm a bit stressed out about my future bc I'm right at the end of my university education & I actually planned to finish my thesis & get a full-time job by the end of the year but I'm not sure whether there will still be jobs or job interviews ahahah. My thesis also stresses me out a bit. But I think all of this would've also stressed me out w/o quarantine so overall I'm relaxed. I'm getting stressed out by the prospect of going back to work tho.
Are you a homebody?
Yessssss
What movies have you watched recently?
So I was planning on watching tons of films during quarantine but I haven't watched any so far ahahah
I mainly watch anime & YouTube
An event you were looking forward to that got cancelled?
Two anime conventions I've been going to religiously with my friends T_T
What’s the worst thing you’ve had to cancel?
My Japan trip. It would've been my very first trip to Japan but a week before we were due to leave Austria issued a travel warning for all countries. Later on all tourists arriving in Japan also had to quarantine themselves for 2 weeks. I was super upset about having to cancel it but also sort of relieved bc I wouldn't have wanted to go there in the middle of a pandemic. I also got all of my money refunded so yay.
What’s the best thing you had to cancel?
Any kind of social interaction and work ahahhahaha
Do you have any new hobbies?
Not really. Before I started working on my thesis, I studied Japanese more frequently but that's about it.
What are you out of?
Skincare! I put off ordering any new items bc I was supposed to go to Japan & I thought I could just buy everything there. Well, now I'm out of toner, essence, a good cleanser and face masks :(( I ended up ordering more at the end of March but my order still hasn't arrived yet (It's stuck at customs T____T)
What music are you listening to?
Mainly German Hip-Hop ahahah
What shows are you watching?
Soooo, I've literally watched 7 anime series so far:
Chobits
Kimagure Orange Road
Yuru Camp (my favourite)
Sabagebu!
Citrus
Fullmetal Alchemist
Asobi Asobase
So yeah, quite productive! I gotta focus on my thesis now tho so I’ve only been sporadically watching Ojamajo Doremi.
What are you reading?
My only goal for this quarantine was to finally read all of the books that have been piling up on my bedside table, which I did yay
I've read The Scarlet Letter, The Sailor Who Fell From Grace with the Sea (I recommend), The Moon over the Mountain, UFO In Her Eyes (I can also recommend) & In Dreams Begin Responsibilities and Other Stories.
I got 3 more books for my birthday (Poems To Fix A Fucked Up World, Japanese Tales of Mystery and Imagination & Roadqueen), which I haven't gotten around to reading yet.
What are you doing for self care?
Taking long baths & reading in the bath tub 💕 I also apply lash serum, a lip mask & body lotion every night.
Are you exercising?
Yes! I actually started exercising everyday in September & I'm still doing it yay
How’s your toilet paper supply?
I still have enough left ahahah I was supposed to be quarantined w my mum but I ended up being by myself & I don’t need a lot.
Have you made any changes to your hair?
Not yet. I've been considering getting bangs & the only thing that (luckily) is stopping me is that one tumblr post that's like you don't need bangs! you need therapy!!!!
I tag @lunarix @swaddle @motherfuckinbuddha @ive-beendreaming​ @kaizoku​ @piggiechi​ @regenbogen-flummi​ @misodelivery​ @vroomkat​ @zyphyyr​ @my-selfish-love @giantoflight @frillypinkdreams @catpacks @cupidie @emograntaire @sugarmickey @bubbleteaboy & everyone else who wants to do this

SEÑORITA
Tumblr media
member: kim namjoon
genre: ceo!au
words: 4.7k
summary: when you learned spanish, you knew it would take you to many places in business matters. however, you couldn't imagine that it would create a special conexión between you and your new boss.
monday morning, 7am
you were very nervous, to be honest
after graduating, you finally found your first job in your field, business administration
because of all your experiences as a student, you could get a good opportunity like this
you just took some fruit, yogurt and left the house to get the bus
you were supposed to be in the building at 8am to start
but because it was your first day, you came early
other coworkers were also coming
you greeted them as they knew you were a greenhorn in work
you started to organize your stuff on the table, turn on the computer and open up the folders
“good morning, everyone”, a very beautiful lady came in
you remembered her from the interview day
she was very sweet
her name tag said kim kyeongmin
“oh, ms. y/n, welcome! everyone, this is your new coworker, please welcome her”
you felt smiles around you and smiled back, also thanking kyeongmin
kyeongmin went to her office, which was right in front of the big room where all employees, including you, had their computers and stuff
the place was nice, spacious
and there was also a coffee machine plus a candy machine
modern office’s stuff
“hey, my name is jane, nice to meet you”, said the woman sitting by the table beside you
“oh, hi, I’m y/n. it’s my pleasure.”
“so, if you need anything, you can just ask me”, she delivered a friendly smile, “I started here six months ago so I know there must be some questions”
you nodded, “of course, thank you”, showing gratitude
you spent the whole morning working and there was a lot to catch up on
your coworkers asked if you’d like to come for lunch but you honestly weren’t even hungry
when you were into something, you didn’t like to pause, so you’d only stop when you’re finished
not that it’s good, since you had to eat
but yeah
during the lunch break, when you finally finished what you were writing and took some sandwich from inside your bag to eat
someone entered the room
you immediately looked, cause your table was the first view when someone got through the door
it was a man and the first thing you noticed was his height
he was tall
a simple white shirt, two buttons opened
black pants
his hair was styled in a nice way too, no strand of hair out of place
you could tell he was a serious guy but not a boring one
“excuse me, where’s everyone?”, he asked
you touched your face just in case there was any bread bran on it
“oh, hm, they are lunching”
he looked at his watch
“I’m sorry I thought the lunch break was already over”
“it’s okay, how can I help you? is there anything you need to deliver to ms. kim?”
he stopped for a brief second and then opened a little smile
“oh no, no, I can come back later”
you nodded
he was almost leaving when you, not satisfied, extended the conversation introducing yourself
“I’m sorry for my manners, my name is y/n”
he looked at you
“you’re the new employee, right? nice to meet you, I’m namjoon”, he said
“yes, nice to meet you too”
you didn’t know how he got that information
probably your proactive beginner way of being said it all
maybe he didn’t work there since he didn’t even have a name tag
you shrugged and came back to your work once he left
not so long later everyone came back, one by one
your new friend (could you call her like that already tho?) jane brought you a cupcake as a welcoming gift
“omg thank you!”, it was cute with a funny character designed on top
“no problem”
you had a lot of things to work on
kyeongmin brought you some stuff on paper to transfer to the virtual folder
you were very concentrated cause, in your mind, mistakes shouldn’t happen on your first day
when the door opened, you couldn’t help but look
the guy from earlier came in again
“excuse me, is kyeongmin already here?”
“no, sir, she was but she had to solve a problem at the bank”, another co-worker answered
sir?
“I’ll have to go into her office, then”, he said to himself out loud
everyone but you nodded
when you noticed, you just followed the nodding session
by the glass wall you could see him inside the office very concentrated
“he came here during lunch, who’s him?”
“oh, you don’t know yet?”, another colleague questioned
“I thought he came to deliver something…”
“no, girl, he’s the owner of this”
“w-what?”
“ms. kim and him are partners in business, he’s the CEO, tho”
everything in your mind made sense
“seriously? I had no idea”
“it’s okay, you just started”
after almost thirty minutes, he was still there
by that hour, everyone was making coffee
“so, every afternoon we like to make coffee, and we always make one to ms. kim when she’s very busy”, jane explained the routine to you
“since she’s not here, we’re making one to him…?”, you asked
“yeah”, someone else answered, putting some cream on top of his cup
“and every day a different person does it”
you looked at them
“I get it”, you said, “I’ll bring him the coffee since I’m new here”
they giggled
you made his coffee exactly like yours since you couldn’t guess how he liked it
everything ready, you knocked at the door
he didn’t move his head but looked at the door opening
“hey, hm, sir, we thought you’d like some coffee”
omg are you going to be informal like this and then add ‘sir’ just to make it better???
“oh”, he relaxed and leaned on the chair more comfortably, “it came in the right moment”
you gave a simple smile
he reached to take the cup from your hands
“thank you… y/n. right?”
you were surprised
“exactly”
you were about the get out the room but
“y/n?”
“yes?”
“do you speak spanish?”
“what?”, you spitted that out without even thinking
cough
“I mean…”, you tried to clean up the mess
but he smiled and laughed a little
your boss l a u g h e d a little
“sorry, I caught you by surprise. it’s just that I have a meeting with a team from Spain in one week, and I am not that good in spanish, so”
“I actually… do… speak some spanish.”
“oh!”, he seemed excited, “I asked the others but they don’t. spanish is not an easy language, so…”
“but, if you prefer, I could find a professional translator and-”
“don’t get me wrong, I know it’s not your job to do this, but it would be better if someone from the company could go with me, since we’ll talk about market research analysis and those business administration stuff, which is your field, right?”
did he read your resume too? you thought only ms. kim hired you
of course he would read, he’s the ceo
so he knew you could speak spanish too, it was on your resume
that’s why he asked so directly
“yes, yes, it’s our field”
he agreed, now playing with a pen in his right hand
“now, if you excuse me…”
“of course”, he said and even stood up as you bowed
people were really respectful in this company, huh
he was kinda nice tho
you thought he’d be cocky cuz he’s the ceo
but nah he was nice
anyways it would be a very good opportunity to be the official translator
you’d meet new people
alright, time to practice spanish again
the whole week was ok
you didn’t meet namjoon again, only kyeongmin, until the other week, on wednesday
one day before the meeting he was meant to attend to, he asked kyeongmin to send you to his office
“y/n, namjoon is calling you at his office. you’re attending the event tomorrow, right?”, she was so nice to you
you wonder what namjoon and her were of each other
“yes”, you smiled
“great! you can finish your work here later, ok?”, she pointed to the computer with her head
“thank you”
“tell him he owes me one”, she said when you were already leaving
when you stepped at his office
it was like
a whole new world lol
minimalist but so… chic?
it was so clean you almost took off your shoes to not dirty the floor
there was a wall full of books
he could even live there if he wanted to because it was so cool
his taste was great for interior design, in case he was the one who picked the stuff himself
there was a name tag made of glass with “kim nam joon” on it
he looked so powerful sitting there
but in the moment he saw you, he stood up and bowed too
“excuse me”
“please”, his hand pointed to the chair in front of that beautiful wood table
ok you were so mesmerized by that interior design lol
you sat in front of him while he was printing something
then you saw he was actually making a copy of the paper he was about to give you
it had like two pages and it was full of notes, but very organized
he put some glasses on and, dude, in that moment
he reached a new level of handsome
“how are you?”
you were caught by surprise a little
this is the type of question everyone asks but at the same time they don’t in situations like this
mainly when there’s something more important to talk about
“I am fine... you?”
“looking forward to the meeting. I’ll ask my driver to pick you up at 5pm so we won’t be late”
you nodded
“this”, he gave you the paper, “contains the main points we’re going to discuss tomorrow. I also made some notes and… if you have some question, go ahead”
namjoon’s personality was friendly and you could tell that by the way he talked and welcomed you
that’s why you read that paper and made all the questions you wanted
and wrote down some other notes
you’d definitely spend the rest of the day studying
it was your field, but you didn’t want to disappoint
“do you have any other question?”, he asked
“yes. what’s your spanish level?”
he smiled because of the question
you were very straightforward
he was probably expecting another question about the points he wrote down
“well… I can introduce myself, speak some simple sentences, but I understand more than I speak, so…”
“ok”, you said, writing down
he seemed curious about what you wrote
“it’s just because I need to know what do I have to translate”
“don’t worry, you’ll know”
you frowned
“you’ll notice my lost expression”, he said
“ok, so, I think this is it…”
“see you tomorrow, then”
“thank you, mr. kim”
“you can call me namjoon”
you only knew him for – what – a week
he walked to a sort of furniture where there were clean and ironed clothes
proving he could really live there
you stood up and went to the door, going back to your work space
thankfully there weren’t a lot of things to do there
because, hello-oh, you were still working for the company in the reunion with namjoon
you were organizing all the papers you had to bring home, then you noticed one of the files namjoon gave weren’t there
there were so many on his table that maybe you forgot it there
so you came back
the door was slightly opened and you knocked
you really did
but he didn’t answer so maybe he wasn’t there
and you just had to find your file
so you got in and he was coming back from the bathroom
you froze
his white shirt, usually two buttons opened
was now fully unbuttoned
a great physical was showing
tanned
he must work hard on gym
you tried to look at his face at the moment you saw each other
but your eyes kept coming back to his chest
he was starting to button again when he saw you
“oh I-”, just shut up, y/n
namjoon turned his back
“I’m sorry”, he said, looking at you over his right shoulder
“I’m sorry I walked in, I knocked but you didn’t hear…”
“no, that’s okay”, he said in a friendly tone, it really sounded genuine
“I think I forgot my file here”
it was exactly where you left it
“that’s it, thank you”
walking fast was complicated cause the sound of your heels in the ground broke the silence in a disturbing way
“excuse me, y/n”, namjoon said and you turned to him again
he was fully covered now
phew
“yes?”
“can you help me choose a necktie?”
he lifted two of them
“hm… I’d say the burgundy one”
“I wanted exactly this one”, he smiled and lifted the chosen one, “thank you”
you nodded and walked through the door
namjoon stayed there, immobile
deep down he wanted to ask something else so you’d stay there for another minute
he didn’t know you for long, ofc
but ever since you guys met
the way you were so carefree when talking to him
he liked that
it wasn’t because of how you look
even though he found you very pretty
but because of how you guys had some kind of connection when you spent almost an hour chatting earlier
maybe your vision, your ideas
he found that attractive
next day, you worked the whole morning
but kyeongmin told you to go home earlier because of the appointment
you thanked her and went home
a while ago, you bought a nice dress and maybe the good opportunity to use it would be now
it gave that serious neat vibe plus made you feel comfortable
you also made your hair in a nice way and when everything was finished
not one minute after 5pm
the car was in front of your home
the back door opened
not by itself
someone opened it but you couldn’t see
it was a fancy car btw
you didn’t know much about cars but who needs to know
everyone can tell when it’s fancy
you firstly looked inside and namjoon was already sitting there
you quietly sat there and closed the door
“hey”, he said
“hey”, you answered back
the informality though lol
you watched so many videos in spanish your brain was almost colliding
“just in time”
“I came home earlier”, you were avoiding eye contact
but you felt his lovely smile on you
“¿estás lista?"
“already practicing, mr. kim?”, you tried to sound unconcerned
he started looking through the window
namjoon was always very elegant
the fact that he’s tall probably helped a lot
but it was all about his posture
the way he speaks
walks
dresses
and his personality itself
he was dressing very simply
a white shirt, black blazer and pants
hair perfectly done as expected
“we arrived”, the driver said
namjoon and you got out from different doors and joined the place side by side, through the large stairs
the room was full of people and for a moment you felt insecure
you studied, you knew what you were doing, so why feel like this?
namjoon noticed the way you were touching your hair and straightening your clothes
“you look great”, he said, looking at you, “don’t worry”
the first group you two met were korean speakers, the second one had a lot of english speakers
and finally two men and one woman approached you
you kinda felt it was the spanish team you studied for but when you were wondering
they said “hola”, so you knew it
namjoon introduced himself pretty well in spanish
his accent was also good, it didn’t sound weird or try hard
he introduced you as “señorita y/l/n”
it was unexpected even tho you didn’t know why
when people started referring to you, you felt like it was the right time to get into the conversation
so you explained you’d be translating some stuff for namjoon
they were okay, probably used to it in meetings like that
you were nervous at the start but they were nice
plussss you were doing your thing
talking about your field
about everything you studied
in the end you felt like it was a very good opportunity to introduce yourself in this business world
namjoon had to talk to another team and he left you alone for some minutes
you thought you would panic but the conversation was very pleasing
after a long time talking to them, namjoon begged leave to eat something with you
you felt his hand on your back, close to your shoulders, but he wasn’t touching you
you just felt the presence of it, like, floating over
“you left me alone”, you said
“come on, you were doing so well”
you didn’t know what to answer so just kept walking until the place where drinks and foods were
“I thought your spanish was good but now I know it’s perfectly fluent”
he wasn’t looking at you while drinking
you both were leaning against a wall
“don’t be so kind”
“don’t be so harsh on yourself”, he looked at you and raised his eyebrows making a cute expression
your lips created a shy smile
almost three hours there making new partnerships and discussing about business administration, marketing, finance, etc
you were about to leave
while he was on the phone, you waited in front of the place
on top of the stairs, holding your coat and purse
“so”, you heard his voice from behind you
you turned to him
and for a moment
you looked up to him, since he was taller
he’s taller than anybody
and he looked into your eyes
INTO IT
you felt that
but it was just for a moment so he continued
“my driver can’t come”
“really? why?”
“he wasn’t feeling good, so he needed to rush to a hospital”
“ah… do we need to take a cab? I can call one”
“actually”, his hands on the pockets and his body swinging in a childish way, “he left the car here and went in a cab”
“where are the keys?”
“in reception, I got it already”, he showed it
“hm can you… drive or…?”
he smiled and scratched the back of his neck
“to be honest, I’m not good when it comes to control cars”
you kinda wanted to laugh but you bit your lower lip
“you can laugh”, he said
so you let it out
“I really thought you had a driver just for the fanciness”
“I wish”
“well, give me them, I’ll drive”, you reached out for it
he didn’t even think twice before giving it to you
so you leaded the way
he followed you to the car
and he was about to open the back door
“oh-oh, not there”, you said, “you’re coming in the front”
“oh I’m sorry”
you know when you’re anxious for something
then the thing happens so you feel an inexplicable relief
and it’s like you could conquer the world now it passed
you were feeling exactly like this
although namjoon was your boss, he was so nice that you felt like there was no big barrier between you two
so you felt comfortable with him
you knew the age gap wasn’t that big because he was one of the most successful CEOs under 30
“¿a dónde vamos, senõrita?”
“your spanish is improving, huh?”
he laughed
“you’re a good teacher”
you felt kinda keyed up
quickly back to normal
“I’ll take you home and I’ll call a cab from there”
“oh no, you can take the car”
“what? no, no, I’m okay”
“turn left”, he said
“pardon?”
“my house. you have to turn left now”
“oh ok”
your face started to burn lol thank God it was dark inside the car
and he giggled by himself
namjoon’s house was quite far
the location was private btw
the good thing was that you both chatted a lot along the way
“here you go”, you said taking off the seat belt as if you were about to get out too
“are you staying?”, he asked
your eyes widened
“eh? I’ll leave the car with you”
“no I told you to go home with it”, he said
“I just don’t feel comfortable…”
“don’t get me wrong, if you want to stay over, there’s a room for you”
“excuse me?”
“that’s why I started with ‘don’t get me wrong’, maybe you’re tired to cross the city. a cab will be very expensive”
“ok, so I’ll take the car”
he nodded, agreeing
“tomorrow I’ll give it back to you”
“you could give me a ride, though”
you laughed
“am I your new driver now? it seems like I have a lot of new positions”
“I didn’t mean that way”, he was being serious now
maybe he thought you were being serious too
you didn’t see it as overwork at all
because it wasn’t
you would have an extra payment for going with him to that meeting
driving him wasn’t a job, it was a pleasure
“I’ll come. can you be ready at 7:30am?”
“uh early”
“that’s the hour we all go to work, sir”
“I’ll think about a change of the office hours, señorita”
“is señorita a thing now?”
he shrugged
“see you tomorrow?”
“at 7am”, you answered
namjoon was standing in front of his place when you arrived there
you really thought he would be late but wow
looks like he was trying to impress
he was a fun person to talk to even being quite sleepy at that hour
when you guys arrived, you left the keys at the reception for the driver
and went to your office
namjoon went for his and that was the last time you saw him that day
you kinda smiled sometimes during the day cause you remembered the moments you guys had
talking to him was so nice you forgot he was your boss
kyeongmin and some coworkers asked you how the meeting went
and you felt good talking about that because, professionally, it was a great moment for you
you felt exactly where you should be and it made you create new goals for your career
the next week came
you both only saw each other for quick moments
he smiled at you every time
another week came and another one too
it was a very busy moment for the company after the meeting
new partnerships, new responsibilities
until the day he called kyeongmin
you were at her office in the moment she received the call
“oh yeah she’s here… yeah, okay”, she turned off the phone
“it’s namjoon, he asked if you could go to his office”
“yes, if you let me…”
she opened a bright smile
“y/n, don’t worry about that, he’s the ceo. if he calls you’re the one to say yes or no, just let me know”
“well…”
“I’m his sister by the way, in case you have mistaken me for his wife, girlfriend or anything”
you didn’t know what to answer
“no I didn’t have any thoughts about it”, you smiled shyly
liarrrr lol
you thought she was his girlfriend once
but after some days and seeing how they were acting with each other, you knew they didn’t have any love relationship
knowing they’re siblings made sense
you went to namjoon’s office quite nervous
even at the first time, you weren’t nervous like this and now your stomach was writhing
you knocked at his door and he opened it quickly
“hi”
oh heeey he looked really cute
you greeted him back and got in once he asked you to
“so…”, you said
“I’m about to promote you”
he saw your eyes getting bigger in surprise and couldn’t help but smile
“as my new driver”
“oh how funny”, your voice was funny itself after the shock
“it’s the only way we can have nice talks, right?”, he sat on his chair
“is it?”
ok where did your boldness come from
his expression looked like he was asking the same question
“ok, so, can you tell me why did you call me here?”
“just because” – he wanted to see you, but he didn’t finish the phrase that way – “the Spain partners really liked you”
“oh!”, the surprise was genuine
“you were great, they praised you a lot and asked me if you could be the official in-between person in our business with them”
you clearly didn’t have words to express the surprise
“I feel honoured”
“you should. so, is it a yes?”
“of course!”, you were about to say something else but a huge noise echoed
namjoon was getting a pen to write something but
SOMEHOW
he dropped the whole pen holder
very clumsy of him and it wasn’t the first time you noticed
you both immediately started to pick up the pens
that cliché thing happened, not gonna lie
your hands touched when you tried to pick up the same pen as him
coming back to your seats you tried to lighten the atmosphere
“do you break a lot of things or-?”
he laughed
“at this point I think being clumsy is already a personality thing I was born with”
“deep”, you said, which made him keep the smile
“ok, you’ll accept the offer, then?”
“which one?”
he frowned
“oh, the Spain team one, right? definitely”
“did I make another one…?”
you looked at his eyes
they said a lot, btw
and you found that one of the most attractive features of him
“I just thought you wanted to”
by his face he couldn’t believe you noticed
you were quite an observant and, come on, you were into him too
not to the point your body talk expressed it, because you were very cautious about love interest in the workplace
he crossed his fingers, hands on the table
“look, now that you noticed, I can’t help but say…”
“not that you were trying to hide at all, right, sir?”
the way you always had answers left him speechless
“I find you interesting”, he said, lowering his voice, “and I know work is not the best place for it”
“still you find a way to see me”
“y/n…”
“be honest. who are we lying to?”
namjoon stood up
wandering around the room, maybe trying not to make eye contact
“look, it never happened before”
you stood up too, listening
“I really like the way we connect. and y e s, I know it sounds deep but it’s not that deep, we bond well”
you agreed
“so if you want, we can meet again. somewhere else. maybe on a library, a café, idk”
you smiled at him
“yes, let’s do this”
“so it’s mutual”
“you’re my boss, I couldn’t let it show- oh, your collar”, you couldn’t concentrate looking at his messy collar
you just went closer to straighten it
“sorry, it was messy”
he watched you do that
now you were close
and you felt his eyes on you
you wanted to look back but the reaction would be uncertain
cause you’d probably do exactly what you did
your hand rose to his neck and namjoon automatically leaned down even closer
your lips touch and it was so quickly you didn’t even notice the exact moment
so you both did it again
as if the first kiss was just an attempt
when it felt like you did the right thing and wanted it again, that was when you just let it happen
namjoon’s kiss handn’t rush
anyone could get in but he didn’t care
you two were into the moment
your minds went blank and just the feelings of the kiss took control
his hand caressed your hair and put one lock behind your ear
so his fingers could softly touch your face
you touched his shoulders and the back of his hair
and you knew he liked it because of the smile between the kiss
he tightened his grip as your hand caressed his neck
when you finally stopped, eyes still closed and foreheads touching
the silence took over for a minute, until you were the first to cut it
“I think I have to go now…”
his face was saying please, stay for a while
“I’ll wait until we meet”
you smiled at him
“me too”

I Do Village
Intro:
This is a reality show where famous couples will be challenged to act like normal couples. Like the guys will be tasked to go to work while the girls stay at home and prepare everything.
(Inspired by WGM hehe)
Tumblr media
HOST: Good evening Everyone! Welcome to the Third Season of I Do Village! Did you miss me? Oh, not that much? Anyway, it's no secret to all of you that we have new members to join us this season! So without further a do, please welcome Yuta, Johnny and Jaehyun!
YT, JN & JH: To world we are NCT! Hi we are NCT!
HOST: Woaaah. Welcome to the show. Welcome welcome.
The three of them sat down for a small chitchat with the host.
Host: Woah, I'm still amazed that you're finally here in the show!
JN: Yeah! Me too! Hahahaha actually the three of us too! Like we're talking at the back and we're very excited to join the program.
YT: Yes! We did not expect to join the program either and it's been a while since we said our chant. 😂 You know, with other members serving in the military, we have much free time.
Host: So yes, you guys know the drill, for our first episode, we will get to know our new members so keep your questions coming guys! They will be answering them in a minute. Moving on, Can I ask who got married first?
Jaehyun raised his hand.
JH: I got married first then Yuta hyung then Johnny Hyung.
Host: So you have the most kids?
JH: I got twins so basically, yes.
JN: I got a baby boy.
YT: I don't have a child now, my wife and I are still planning. 😊
Host: Do you get together with your members together with your wives & kids?
YT: Yes! Hahahahaha! The other members are really fond of the kids! Especially me, like the son of Jaehyun, Yael, is really talkative and I find it very cute.
JH: I think Yuta Hyung is giving hints to his wife now. 😂
JN: I think so too!
The audience laughed together with the two.
For the next part, an Interview Video is shown where the respective wives of the members are revaled.
YT: Hi everyone! I am the Takoyaki Prince, NCT Yuta or simply Yuta and this is my wife Kei.
"We are childhood friends and got along really well. We parted ways when I went to Korean to pursue my career. I think we reunited when my parents bumped into her in a Restaurant here in Korea when they visited me here, she happens to work at a branch of a Japanese Company here. After that meeting we somehow reignited our love and stated dating again. We got married last Fall in Japan."
YT & Kei: We are ready to accept the I Do Challenge!
For our next couple:
JN: Hello! I am NCT Johnny and Little Gian's Dad Johnny Suh
Wife: and Gian's Mom, Belle Suh.
"We met in an event, she's a brand model and everyone was crazy to get her number, but luckily through my manager, I managed to get a date with the most beautiful woman in that crowd. It is funny because at first, she really don't want to date me because she isn't into dating and she's more focused on her career BUT! but then after like 5 months? Yeah, I guess its five months, it is when we successfully finished a comeback, she texted me first asking if the offer to date me still stands. Hahahaha! I think our stylists made me a lot more handsome in that comeback that this pretty shy lady beside me texted me first. Hahahahaha! We just got married three months ago, and we are blessed with a child, Gian."
JH & Belle: We are the Suh Couple, ready to face the I Do Challenge!
Tumblr media
For our third and final couple:
JH: I am the Nation's Valentine Boy, NCT Jaehyun and Yael and Yela's Dad Jaehyun!
Y/N: I am Jaehyun's wife and Yael and Yela's Mom, Y/N Jeong.
"It's a bit crazy how we met, we had a love-hate relationship at first because we compete for a business venture, but it turned out that the head of the franchise made us business partners. At first she didn't know I'm a celebrity I can still remember the look on her face when she saw an ad for my debut anniversary while we are having our first date. After months of persuading her, she finally said yes and three years after, we decided to tie the knot. A year after our wedding, Yael and Yela came to the world."
JH&Y/N: I Do Challenge? Let's get it!
Tumblr media
Host: Wow! We have a bunch of sweet husbands here in the show! Okay, now its time to answer questions from our website!
Q1: To the three, if you are not an idol now, what do you think is your occupation?
JN: Maybe a model? I think I am still a public figure.
YT: Hmm for me, first, I'm in Japan, maybe having a professional job? A teacher? A doctor? I don't know exactly, but if I didn't became an idol, I finished my studies. 🤣
JH: I am who I am now, a businessman! 🤣
Q2: How do you manage to be a Dad and a public figure at the same time?
JH: I think its balance, when I am at home I am a dad, and whenever I am with my kids, and in schedules I am NCT Jaehyun.
JN: Yup! And I think your wife's support is also important, because whenever our schedules are busy, they play both father and mother roles.
YT: I couldn't agree more. Hahahaha!
Q3: What are the changes in NCT now that some of you have families?
YT: I don't think there's a change in our camaraderie, I think the only thing that changed is that we are no longer staying at the dorms playing computer games until dawn.
JH: Yes, and also the babies now are our own babies not our maknaes.
JN: They're good at babying our babies tho. Just a fact.
Q4: What are you willing to give up for your family?
JH & YT: Everything
JN: Ya! It's basically everything.
JH: Like before, whenever I am asked this question, I always look into my life and I thought I couldn't give up anything, but now, my number priority is my family.
YT: Yes, everything changes when you start building a family.
Host: They never fail to amaze me. Such wise and good looking men we have here! So for our last question, what are you looking forward to in this program?
YT: Uhm, for me, I look forward to show my wife what it is really to be in the industry. I just want her to experience a glimpse of my job through this show.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
JN: Actually, I want the people to see my life now. Our life now, the audience will know me and my wife and how we do everything in our marriage.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
JH: For me, I look forward to the challenges. Really! I watched the previous seasons and there was jealousy, fights and tears! I am really looking forward to experience those myself. And also, it's a way for my wife to get to know more about me? Or vice versa.
Host: That's it for our first episode, everyone! I hope you enjoyed the show!
Next Episode Preview:
YT&Kei's House:
Oooh, Kei decorated the house well! Woah! They cooked a meal for the staff and for the other couples too! Wow!
JN & Belle's House:
Ah! What a lovey-dovey couple! They just cuddle in their sofa while watching a movie.
Belle: Johnny I think its time for you to cook.
Oh! Johnny cooks in this household.
JH & Y/N's House:
Y/N: Jaehyun? Am I ready for this?
Jaehyun laughed out loud and just hugged you and kissed your forehead.

Rules

Tumblr media
The jingle of the inn keepers door bell caught Thorald’s attention and he looked up from his mead hopefully. A woman stood in the doorway, an unsure look on her face as she peered into the dimly lit inn. Remembering the description his employer gave, Thorald jumped to his feet and hurried to her, extending a hand in welcome.  "Are you the Dragonborn ?“ He asked and the woman nodded. "In the flesh”, she said cheerfully.
 He led her to the table he had occupied earlier and called for the serving girl to bring him two tankards of  mead.  Taking a deep swig of her drink, Arisa sighed happily, “It’s been awhile since I had some good mead. But let’s get to business..Why did you want to interview me?”  She asked. Thorald nodded, “You’re the dragonborn,  the one the Greybeards called for, m’lady. The people of Skyrim want to know more about you and my employer, The Black Horse courier,wants to be the one to tell your story. Please allow me to be the one to tell it”
Arisa looked down at her tankard for a moment then took a deep breath. “ Ok” She said, “But if your expecting tales of daring adventures and woes, you’re going to be disappointed..” He shook his head, “I just want your take on things, m’lady, Nothing more. ” She smiled at him and he noticed the amusement in her eyes. “You can call me Arisa,  m’lady is so formal.” she said.  He nodded slowly. “Ok then.. Arisa, let’s get started.” He pulled out a leather bound journal and pheasant quill out of his bag.  Placing them on the table, he readied himself to write.
1.“ What is your full name? ” Arisa  Laenhal Bear-Tooth.
2. “Do you know why you named that?” My father and mother fell in love with the name Arisa. Had I been a boy, my father would’ve given me a Nordic name, since I tend to look like my mothers race more. (Noting his confusion, she shrugged.) I am half nord/half mer. I  look like my mother more then my father, Tho there are some traits he passed along(she pulled  back her hair and Thorald noticed her pointed ears from her mer ancestry) . My middle name is in honor of my bosmer grandmother. I’ve never met her tho. She passed before my birth. As for my surname, my father insisted that I take my mothers. He said he didn’t want me to suffer the prejudice He faced, especially when dealing with my mothers people.
3. “Are you single or taken?” (Looking down at her mead, she sighed.) Single and I’m only interested in one person. And I don’t want discuss who it is. (The jingle of the door bell made them look to see who it was. A tall lean dark haired nord with black war paint around his eyes stood in the doorway. He  glanced at them briefly then walked to the bar, the innkeeper, Hulda, greeting him fondly. Thorald recognized him, one of the companion’s from Jorrvaskr. As he turned back to Arisa, he noted the blush on her cheeks. Could this be the person she was talking about earlier? Maybe this could be in a future story! He mentally rejoiced at the thought)
4. “Have any powers or abilities?” I can shout like the dragons. I good with destruction and restoration spells. And according to Eyorland Grey-mane, I’m not bad at working the forge.
5. (Taking a chance).“Stop being a Mary sue. Give me the details, Arisa. ” Might want to not ask me in that tone or consider the interveiw over. (He apologized, noting the hard look in her eyes and inwardly cringing. Don’t blow this,you idiot! You might never get another chance to ask her anything again, he thought)
6.,“Whats your eye color?”      Hazel blue
7. “Hair color? ”      Dark brown
8. “Have any family members? ”       My father, Rilgor Nightsky and my mother, Elena Bear-Tooth. I am an only child.
9.“ Oh, how bout pets?   I have my horse, Stepper.  He’s a very good horse, very reliable and runs like the wind when I need him too.
10. Moving on to something different, Are there things you don’t like?”
Giant spiders and draugr. Been poisoned and blown off my feet too many times
11. “Do you have any activities or hobbies you like to do?” Tinkering with the dwemer automatons I find, I also like to try to create new spells. My attempts have been a hit or miss so far.
12.“ Have you hurt anyone on purpose before? ” I’ve tried not to.
13. “Ever…killed anyone before? ”       Not if they didn’t deserve it.
14. “What kind of animal are you? ”       (She grinned and Thorald noticed that her canines seemed a bit longer then normal.) “What do you think?” (How bout we skip that question? He said hastily. He didn’t want to know)
15. “ Name your bad habits?” (She shrugged.)  Procrastinating is one thing I can think of. And blowing my money on things I enjoy. That normally wouldn’t be a problem but I tend  to overspend and then I find myself broke until the next job comes along..
16. “Do you look up to anyone at all?” I have great respect for my shield brothers and sisters of Jorrvaskr. I have learned a lot from them.
17. Are you gay, straight or bisexual? I enjoy men and women.
18. Do you go to school? I study with Vignar Grey-mane and Vilkas. They are teaching me the history of tamriel. Vilkas is also trying to teach me how to handle the transactions for the guild. (She frowns slightly) That’s not going so well to be honest.
19. “Do you ever want to be married and have children?” “I don’t know…I would like to get married but children? I’m hardly ever home so I’m not sure. I guess it just depends.
20. "Do you have any fanboys or girls? ”      I’m not sure.  I don’t think I do.
21. What are you most afraid of?      Hmmm.. I guess letting life pass me by…. And losing people who are precious to me.
22. “What do you usually wear?  Depends on the weather, but I prefer light clothing and armor.
23.whats one food that tempts you? Snowberry Crostata. Tilma makes the best but Huldas isn’t that bad either.
24. "Am I annoying to you? ” (Shrugs)  I’ve dealt with worse.
25. “Well, it’s not over.! ” (Another shrug)  it’s fine.
26.what class are you(low/middle/high?“ When I was with my parents, I was, considered middle. Living in Whiterun.. I guess you could say im still middle. I own Breezehome and im still able to provide for myself.
27. "How many friends do you have? ” Im friendly with the whiterun citizens and I can count on my shield brothers and sisters to back me up sooo quite a few.
28. “What are your thoughts on pie? ” The only pie sold in whiterun is apple and I am just not a fan of it. Sometimes Hulda will give me one for helping her cut firewood and I just give it to Farkas or Vilkas when I see  them.
29.Favorite drink?     It’s some brew Farkas made. He’s calls it the Sabrecat Stunner. It’s really strong but man, so good.  You can taste the sweetness of snowberries in it.
30.“Whats your favorite place?” Hmmm.. I have to say Jorvaskkr.  It’s noisy but there’s something comforting about it. Plus, Tilma is a great cook!
31. “Are you interested in anyone?”    (Sighs) yeah, but I don’t think he notices…
32.“Im sorry, that was a stupid question. ” It’s ok, I don’t mind.
33.Would you rather swim in a lake or an ocean? “ Lakes. Actually Lake illinata is one of my favorite places to camp at.
34. "What’s your type? ” Tall, dark haired, and they have to have  some more of interest in non battle related things.
35. “Any fetishes?“ Well, I like… Wait,.. I don’t think the people of Skyrim need to know THAT.
36. Camping or outdoors?       Both, you can’t camp without being outdoors..
Looking over his journal, Thorald nodded to himself. Everything looked ok and he would do a rewrite when he got back to Solitude. Rising up from his chair , he extended his hand and shook Arisa’s. "Thank you Dragonborn, I appreciate you allowing me to interview you” She nodded,  "No problem…it was interesting" She said. He flashed her a smile, “I’ll have the paper sent to breezehome as soon as im done.Well, I have to go but I wish you health and happiness on your journeys, my friend.”

No one asked
And I should be studying, but here are some thoughts for season 16 so far:
(SPOILER WARNING, OBVIOUSLY)
1 - Merluca and it’s parts: COUPLES FIGHT STOP PREDICTING THE WORST OK. They’ve been completely adorable so far, but this is what someone said in a interview: “This is the after in happy ever after” (or something to that effect). They’re gonna fight and them they’re gonna make up, I hope. As for their fight: They were both in the right imo. Yes, Meredith is being inconsequent and it must be so frustrating for Deluca to A)Have her continue risking her career and license and freedom when he went to such lengths to help that, B) Be crapped on constantly bc of something your girlfriend did. Yes, Meredith is completely right in fighting the system that is so throughtly broken, and yes, coming to apologize to her mentor and longtime friend was completely the right thing to do. I wanna see merluca wedding and marriage! Maybe (since there are two pregnant people in this season already?) next season will be Mer and Jo? One can dream! For them individually: Poor Mer, she has bitten more than she can chew but she is ready to take on this fight! Imma love to see her as auntie mer! I mis merjolex so much tho, I know she’s been busy and all but they seem to forget she is a important part in their support system. Andrew has been all over the place. I love his confidence, but in the ep where he literally screamed at Bailey over her trying to teach an intern? And called her out bc she was using a different material than Mer? I was a bit off-thrown. But he’s still a great character I enjoy watching. Hope they find the balance between confidence and arrogance for him, and develop him even more!
2 - Amelink: AAAAAA. They’re so amazing and perfect and sweet and I wanna hug them both. Link is everything you could wish for, Amy is adorable as ever. If they lay a finger on either them as a couple, them as individuals, or their baby, imma kick some asses. I don’t think they will tho, Amy is been through SO MUCH already and she deserves a breath.
3 - Bailey: OMG SHE IS PREGNANT AAAAAAAA. I’m so happy! Ben is already a great dad, this will be so fun to watch! Hope they don’t put her through the ringer with a difficult pregnancy or a sick child, she does not deserve this! She already nearly lost her first child while giving birth in a bomb-y hospital while her husband had brain surgery NEXT to the bomb. Enough pregnancy drama for a lifetime. As for her actions: I’ve said before: I’m pissed, yes. She’s acting way too harsh and taking it out on people and more importantly (as I’ve touched on in my female grey’s characters ranking post) she’s out of character. Where is the Bailey that went around the hospital runnning after the attendings and kicking their asses into signing her proposal for a free clinic? And gave them a speech on how they had failed her and she needed something to believe in in medicine? She was one of the first characters to point out how broken the system was, to take direct action to try and fix it. Sure, she likes to try and work within the rules as much as possible, much she is not adverse to breaking a few of them if she thinks it’s necessary (hello deactivated HIV inside a young boy’s body without parental consent! Hello changing the date on a surgery which is also insurance fraud!)! If she thinks it’ll save a life! But also, she’s not completely wrong: Meredith did commit a crime, as good as her intentions were; As her boss, firing her was the only logical decision. She thought her hospital (which she dedicated a good half of her life to) was being attacked by someone she trained into the surgeon she is, ofc she’d be mad as all hell. Quadri was disrespectful, not doing her job well, actively getting in the way of her superior doing her job, screaming at her boss in the middle of the hallway about how she didn’t want to work there - firing her was a tad extreme (specially for a charact who has never, herself, had any qualms ahout mouthing off to her own superiors when she didn’t think something was right) but not completely out of nowhere. I hate hate hate how they’ll probs throw a “oh she was being crazy bc pregnancy hormones!” line after seeing how her actions have been badly perceived by people (like there isn’t enough a stereotype that women can’t have positions of power because hormones make them crazy) instead of “hey this character was put in extremely uncomfortable and tough positiona after extremely uncomfortable and tough positions and came off as harsher than necessary while trying to balance a world-class hospital crisis”. Ugh.
4 - Jackson: Ok so the last few eps have rekindled my love for him and I’m relieved! There’s the good, kind, funny and smart guy I like! I was mad bc of the whole Jaggie drama, but hey, shit happens! If they will be better apart, then I’m happy! (Ok 50% of this is because of what he said to levi! Stanning Meredith Grey + dorky Harry Potter reference? Yes!!!!). I hope this season will be kind on him, that he and Vicky work out well (from what I gathered about it, she has also been through a lot) and that we see more Harriet!
5 - Maggie: Baby girl. I love that they’re consistent that she has a jealous streak but is also a very good person who is always trying her best. Plus, official womb secret bearer is the best title omg! Maybe she should change from cardio to obgyn, lol! Plus, the sisters are everything to me! She instantaneous knew Amy was mad! She stood up for Mer! Aaaaa I love them!!!! Hope this show ends with all three of them happy and loved and badass as always!
6 - Others: Tom has been an.... Interesting piece. I love him, but his antics are almost caricature-esque now and it’s getting on my nerves. He was detestable in exploitating that family’s pain but also, the hospital did need a pr boost or it’d be in even hotter waters! The restraining order on Owen was a tad much bc it got in the way of patient care, but also he did get electrocuted in a very sensitive area by someone who had just gotten together with his ex - I’d be a little suspicious that it was 100% unintentional tbh. He’s power drunk and needs to be turned down a notch. Schmit and Nico and adorkable as always and I loved Nico’s speech about demanding more of himself - That’s one of the biggest traps of low self-steem and Imm glad it’s mentioned. I’ll miss Quadri. Helm being a MeredithGrey stan first and person second is still me lol. I loved how this last ep showed how much of a family they are - all the connections and shared pasts and references to relationships and what not. The “bird” storyline was so cute! Pac North seems so promissing and I’ll cry ugly tears when my baby Alex turns that ish around and shows everyone who’s boss!!!! The whole “the world is broken” theme of the season is my jam! Sadly, irl that handful of people are not gonna turn it around, but I want to see it happen on my screen! The medical system being fixed! As a future doctor (I promissed myself I’d not be the person who brings it up in every opportunity but lol here I am) it’d make me so happy! Against my better judgment, I’m liking Towen! They are trying, they’re really trying! Owen has done nothing wrong so far (besides offering to milk teddy which was just dumb, not malicious) and has been great at stepping down from his job so she could work! And him at Pac North will be great tbh - as much as I didlike him, he is an excellent doctor and strategist and he was a great chief at GS (until the last bit which was just gross negligence). From the promo for next ep: I don’t think they’ll make Webber cheat again. It’d be predictable and cheap and I’d be so mad that we’d have another round of acting like he’s a saint with a tiny issue of being a cheater. What I theorize is: He’ll have lunch with his friend, and either A) She’ll be friendly at the wrong time and Catherine will walk in and then think he’s cheating and it’ll be a mess, or B) Gemma is gonna try to get him back to drinking (Or maybe C) She was telling him to stop being bullheaded and fighting with his wife when life is so short). Cristina reference in the text omg, my heart!
Sorry for the long rant!
