“Roos?”

He slowly looks up from his hands, turning his head back to Beatrice who is by their bedroom’s door. In his hands was his father’s sunglasses, he hasn’t let go of it since they left Maverick’s garage. Beatrice’s smile softens, pushing herself away from the door to walk up to him, sitting beside Rooster on the bed, “...are you okay?”

Her husband just stares at her for a few seconds, his jaw moving as if he wanted to speak but it takes a while for the words to come out, “...I guess.” he mutters, turning the folded sunglasses in his hands, “...I don’t know…” he confesses after a while, one of his hands coming up to rub his eyes as he groans quietly, “I don’t know,I should be happier.”

“About?”

“Having this back.” he gestures to the shades with a frown, “But I’m just scared and nervous.”

Beatrice purses her lips, interlacing her hands together on top of her lap as he hears his reasoning. It makes sense to feel that way, after all the times he had anything related to his father close by…well, he’d get conflicted. He was happy, deep inside, but maybe this was something more because it was something Goose wore every day.

“I really thought your sunglasses were your dad’s.” she comments, “They are very similar.” her husband didn’t reply, he just kept staring at it for a few seconds instead of doing so. Beatrice chews her lower lip, thinking of what she was going to say next, “...you don’t have to wear it, you know that.”

“I know.”

“Is that why you are upset?”

Rooster inhales then exhales, “No,I…I just, don’t know, feels wrong knowing how he–” he clears his throat, shaking his head a bit, “I have these flashes…in my memory. Like,I see myself holding these in my hands, I remember…pieces of my father, blurred and almost faint,I remember his laugh too…I guess I just want to hold onto this a little while longer, you know?”

Beatrice reaches out, her hand gently touching Rooster's arm in a comforting gesture. "I understand,Roos" she says softly. "It's okay to feel conflicted, to feel a mix of emotions."

“Is it?”

“Of course it is.” she smiles, propping her chin on his shoulder, eyes meeting his, “...you are a lot more open than when we started dating…and I’m glad you feel like you can share those thoughts with me, you don’t always have to, but I’m glad you do.”

Rooster looks at Beatrice,"I trust you, Bea," he says, his voice filled with sincerity. "You've always been there for me, supporting me, and giving me a safe space to open up."

Beatrice smiles, her heart filled with warmth. "And I'm grateful to have you," she says, her voice filled with love. "You are so cute." she gently touches his cheek, “And you have such a good heart,Roos…don’t forget that.”

Rooster leans into her touch, finding comfort in her presence. "I love you," he whispers, his voice filled with emotion.

"I love you too," Beatrice replies, her voice filled with equal love and devotion. "And I'll always be here for you, supporting you every step of the way." she kisses the tip of his nose then, standing up to walk around him and check the windows, “Well, I think I’ll go back to the twins’ nursery, it’s going to rain pretty soon and I’d rather finish more before it does.” she has one hand on the window sill as her torso turns to look at him, “...do you need some time?”

He looks up in surprise, chuckling softly, “...do you mind?”

“I don’t.” she replies just as quietly, “Take as long as you need, Nikki is asleep so don’t worry,okay?” she coos, walking closer to him to kiss his forehead, then his nose and lastly his lips. He grins, hesitantly letting go of her hand so she could walk away from the room, shutting the door once she was gone.

And he was alone.

He didn’t know why he felt so conflicted, well no, he did know. He was still confused by his own achievements, his father could’ve gotten this far. He could’ve, he should’ve. Mav never told him, but he knew the reason he stays as Captain is because he feels like he and Goose should get that far, he felt like he should share the victories with his best friend.

And Bradley feels that way too, somehow, but he is not at fault for what happened back then. No one is, especially not Mav. He turns the sunglasses in his hands, the light from outside reflects on the dark lenses and it shines right back in his eyes, “...are you proud of me?” he asks the nothing, looking at the open window towards the slowly graying sky, “...I feel like I’m being dumb asking this,especially now…but,I hope you are…I hope you both are.”

“I have a very good life.” he continues,”I have a wonderful woman, that I love more than anything in this wide world…and I have kids. Well, one of them is out and the other two will be out in a few months.” he chuckles, scratching his jawline only for his smile to drop a little bit, “...I still wonder what it’d be like with both of you here. I do and…I try to not think about it too much.” he faces his reflection on the sunglasses, exhaling loudly and then shaking his head. “...I can’t keep thinking like this, I’m glad that things are how they are. I just you two to know I never stop thinking about you,that’s all.”

He clears his throat once he’s finished, standing up to place the sunglasses back inside the box they came with, hearing it click shut and gently pushing it to the corner of his side table, not exactly on sight but not hidden either. He rubs his face with both hands, shakes himself and clears his throat. He had to calm down.

Bradley walks out of the room,checking the hallway to see if Beatrice was nearby, only to hear her humming downstairs. He smiles, walking down the steps and petting Jolene when the dog appears to greet him before running off to stay with Bea inside her little studio.

He stops by the door, leaning his shoulder on the threshold and looking around the room with his brows up, whistling in admiration, “Wow,” he laughs,”You really filled it up,huh?” there were paintings everywhere, drawings at every corner, even some crochet lying on top of her drawing desk with Beatrice sitting in front of it, rummaging through one of her old college backpacks. “What are you doing?”

“Trying to find my charcoals.” she mutters, pulling out an old notebook and a pencil case that looked like a smiling bear although one of its ears har a glued on plastic gem like an earring, “I haven’t opened this since I graduated, everything I used is in here.”

Rooster watches Beatrice with a fond smile, leaning against the doorway as he takes in the colorful and artistic chaos of her studio. He walks over to her, glancing at the notebook and pencil case in her hands. "Charcoals, huh?" he says, his voice filled with amusement. "Bringing back the memories of your college days?"

Beatrice chuckles, turning to face Rooster. "Sort of," she replies, her eyes twinkling with nostalgia. "I think it’ll help me finish a sketch in the nursery, it’s softer than a pencil.."

Rooster leans against the table, watching as Beatrice rummages through the backpack. "Finish it? I thought you already did." he asks, genuine curiosity in his voice.

She purses her lips. "Well,I did but" she admits. "I think it could be better. I do draw often as you well know and I still think it could be much,much better." she looks back at him only to see his confused look,”You know I’m a perfectionist,Roos.”

Rooster chuckles, shaking his head. "Yes, I know," he replies, his voice filled with affectionate teasing. "You have high standards for your artwork, which to be honest, is already great no matter what you think."

Beatrice smiles, a hint of sheepishness in her expression. "I can't help it," she says. "Art is a way for me to express myself, and I want to make sure that I'm conveying my vision as accurately as possible. Sometimes that means going back and making improvements, even if the original piece was already good."

Rooster reaches out, his hand gently brushing against her cheek. "I understand," he says softly. "Can I help?"

She leans into his touch, her eyes locked with his. "Thank you, Roos, but I can do it, you can stay though." she murmurs, gratitude evident in her voice, nodding to the small couch in there. "I wouldn’t mind the company. Are you feeling better?"

Rooster smiles, his hand lingering on her cheek for a moment before he pulls back slightly. "I'm feeling better now," he replies, his voice filled with warmth. "Being with you always brings me comfort."

“Oh,shush.”

He walks over to the small couch she mentioned, taking a seat and making himself comfortable. "So, I'll just keep you company then," he says with a playful grin. "I'll be your muse, your silent supporter."

Beatrice chuckles, still rummaging through her things, “You always are my muse, more than you know-” she stops, face going violently red, “I-I mean,um, you ah-” she knew there was no turning back now, he was going to ask her. She sighs heavily, then takes out a notebook and starts examining it, chewing her lower lip. Rooster watches her with one of his brows up, that wasn’t her usual sketchbook, it was much older.

“Okay, you won’t find this weird,will you?”

“Weird?”

She groans, tapping the notebook against her forehead, “Before we…started dating,um,well, when my crush started I kind of…drew…you…” she chews her lower lip, “It’s not,um, well I did paint us but that was different because this was before we got together.” she frowns, looking down at her sketchbook,”It’s kinda…weird,isn’t it?”

Rooster watches Beatrice with curiosity as she stumbles over her words, her face turning red. His expression softens, understanding dawning in his eyes.

He reaches out to gently take the sketchbook from her hands, his touch reassuring and completely ignoring how she tried to hold it back. "Beatrice," he says, his voice gentle and filled with affection. "There's nothing weird about it at all. In fact, I'm honored that you saw something in me that inspired you to create art."

Her quiet ‘are you kidding? you are a work of art’ made him grin even more.

He opens the sketchbook and starts flipping through the pages, his eyes tracing over the drawings. Some are quick sketches, capturing his likeness in different moments, while others are more detailed and expressive. Each stroke of her pencil reveals her perception of him, her feelings translated onto the paper.

"You didn’t draw this at the bar…I would’ve noticed it.," he murmurs, his voice filled with sincerity. There’s so much detail in every sketch, his heart feels so warm he can’t even comprehend it, he feels so honored.

“No!Of course not!” she looks horrified, “If I did,I’d never hear the end of it! Shells and Penny would just…tease me to no end.” she wrings her hands, leaning back on her seat to stare at him, ‘...I just couldn’t take you out of my head and I thought that if I drew you it’d help dealing with everything better.”

“Did it?”

She scoffs softly, “You know it didn’t.” her smile turns soft, “It’s very hard to deal with how handsome you are and how sweet you are.” she explains, shrugging her shoulders “And I had a hard time then.”

Rooster's cheeks flush with a mixture of embarrassment and delight as he listens to Beatrice's words. He sets the sketchbook aside, his gaze fixed on Beatrice.

"I had no idea," he admits, his voice filled with genuine surprise and admiration. "I never could have imagined that you were drawing me back then." He reaches out to take her hands in his, his touch gentle and reassuring. "It is really nice though, you are so talented." she scoffs softly, “You are. You know that.”

Beatrice's eyes soften, "You always know how to make me feel special," she says, her voice filled with warmth. "I'm glad I have you in my life."

He leans in closer, his forehead resting against hers. "And I'm glad I have you," he whispers. "Thank you,really. This is great.”

“Not creepy at all?”

“No.Bea.” she shrugs sheepishly, “Honestly if one day,” he coos, setting the sketchbook aside, “You want to, I don’t know, draw me in a different way,” he gently pulls her from the chair,tugging her closer to his lap, sliding his fingers under her dress and up to her underwear. She already knew what he was planning so she wasted no time in climbing on his lap and getting comfortable, “You know I’d love that.”

“As much as it is tempting.” she chuckles, “We both know that painting will be the last thing in our minds.” she runs her fingers over his tee, over his pecs and down his stomach, “Which ah, well, I’m not complaining about.” Beatrice drapes her arms around his shoulders,pressing their foreheads together and looking into his eyes, “We just have to be…careful, the doctor said we can do that until I reach seven or eight months, sooo…”

“Oh?”

She huffs, pushing his face playfully when he just looked way too interested at that. “Don’t start…I’m just saying that,well,we can manage some things.” she shrugs, pressing another kiss to his lips and letting him rub her ass with both of his hands, thumbs pointed upwards to her lower back, “And it’ll be fun…and healthy.”

“...our date is this weekend.”

“What?”

“Yeah, this weekend.”

She blinks in shock, “But,I thought you planned for next week-”

“Yes, well,I changed my mind,I can make a couple calls and make sure it’s all good for when we get there.” he says in a hurry, not daring to hide his excitement dripping in every word. “I haven’t touched you in…months,do you blame me?” he purses his lips, gently dragging his fingers over her skin as if following every curve like it was a road less traveled, “And I missed you…”

Beatrice chuckles softly, cupping his cheeks in her hands and bringing their lips together “Alright, just let me call my parents and we’ll deal with that alright? So they can stay with Nikki,” slowly she climbs off his lap, much to his complaint but he allows her to do so while leaning back on the couch, spreading his arms on the back and smirking up at her, “Stop it.”

“What?”

“I know what you are doing.”

“And what am I doing?”

She narrows her eyes, “You are teasing me.” and she pokes his chest a few times, “Stop it.” she does however, giggles, walking towards the backpack and continuing her search for the box of charcoals.

Rooster grins mischievously, enjoying the playful banter between them. He feigns innocence, his hands raised in mock surrender. "Teasing? Me? Never."

Beatrice raises an eyebrow, unconvinced. "Oh really?" she challenges, leaning close only to poke his chest one more time. "I think you enjoy it just as much as I do."

“Oh,fine, you got me.” he sighs, dropping his head back and only looking up when he sees Jolene trotting by with a letter in her mouth. Strange, she had never got any letters before and he wondered what made her do that. She was holding it so delicately too, just biting the corner of it so there’s no drool on the envelope.

Bradley hums, straightening himself and holding out his hand, “What’s that,girl?” she comes closer,tail wagging, gently setting the letter on his open palm. He looks down at it for a few seconds, then he sees his name on the letter…and he sees something else. “...wait.’

“What?”

“This is for me.”

She leans closer tilting her head, “Oh?”

“I…” he pauses, “This looks official.” and as much as his hands shake as he gently pried it open,he couldn’t help himself. It’s neatly folded, it’s a letter. The last time he got something like this he was promoted to lieutenant and at the same time he was ripping it open, his phone buzzed with a message but he wasn’t going to check it right now.

Beatrice sits down next to him, rubbing Jolene’s huge head with her brows furrowed, “What?” her husband opens the folded letter and all color drains from his face, “What? Rooster what’s happening?”

He inhales shakily, “I…I uh…I got promoted.”

I can't believe i just noticed this. I knew the intros made references to the color spreads but I never realized the endings did too, I only found out when I watched One Piece Ending 3 on a whim!

These shot reference both chapter 107 and 128, with Usopp drawing, Nami's dress and Sanji's dragon hoodie:

This shot also references chapter 107 with the pink owl, but also the anaconda from chapter 111 and possibly Usopp's football outfit from chapter 156.

And I'm still probably missing something! God i love one piece.

Hot take but, I don’t actually think the Harvest Festival arc (in the anime) is dragging that long. Or even that long in general, not with how they’ve been adapting it.

We’re on episode 16 right now, out of 21. The Harvest Festival itself started at episode 4 (the first three were training and set up), and it’s set to end either next ep or the one after that (for the purposes of the arc I’m considering ‘the winners are announced’ to be the end and everything is post HF related stuff). Meaning atm the Festival itself has spanned 13 episodes (and will probably cap out at 14/15 depending).

Which is honestly a lot shorter than I was expecting all things considered given how long the arc is (if you count the training before the Harvest Festival and end it with ch 142 it’s the longest arc so far with 45+ chapters, if not it’s the second longest after Heartbreaker Exam, which has 41).

I don’t know we’ve just been spoiled/ruined with short seasonal anime with short arcs, or if I’m just ruined by having grown up with plenty of long running anime that have MUCH longer arcs. Cause frankly it doesn’t feel like that long an arc to me.

For a comparison, the very first arc in YuGiOh Duel Monsters, the Duelist Kingdom arc, is 40 episodes long. And ok that’s an older series, so what about something more recent?

Well, One Piece is still going and the current arc is. uh. still ongoing and is uh. 156 episodes and counting. And ok, OP is a bit of an outlier so, let’s look at something a bit more reasonable. BNHA. The current arc, which continues from the previous season apparently, is currently 19 episodes long. and still going(and just doing a quick glance shows there’s been a couple arcs into the double digits in length in past seasons so, not unusual in the slightest).

So like, 13 episodes is hardly dragging on. That’s like. a normal length for an arc. Esp for what is objectively a TOURNAMENT ARC. Those are always long arcs.

NOT TO MENTION, the arc IS spanning a timeline of 4+ days (6666 minutes) and bouncing between 6 teams of characters. So like, of course it’s gonna be long??

Tl;dr, despite people complaining that the Harvest Festival arc is dragging it really isn’t that long an anime arc. Be glad you weren’t reading it int he manga. One chapter a week. Took nearly a year to complete. Now that is long.

#Mairimashita! Iruma-kun #Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun #Mairuma #iv literally seen ppl complaining that the arc is taking too long #and im like #no????#actually they're moving it along remarkably fast #i was expecting it to take longer

Fave Long Fics

good ol' @arahir is asking for everyone's fave long fics, so here are mine!

sorry if the rambling is a bit long, I just want to express my love <3

🌟: denotes a fic that belongs in the literary equivalent of the Louvre-- a stunning piece of writing even outside of its contribution to the fandom

JJBA

🌟 scheherazade -- shylittleghost; Josuke/Okuyasu-centric, but multiple POVs; canon-compliant prequel/sequel to part 4, necessary to read/watch part 4 to understand

this is one of those fics that not only elevates the original work in several ways, but it's a stunning piece of writing as a whole. the flow and tone of the piece is so unique and difficult to describe, with a fitting balance between mystery/horror and deadpan humor, and uses the narrating voice to play with the 4th wall in a really fun and satisfying way. oh, and one of the last chapters is a little RPG game, adding a bit little multimedia twist <3

BEASTARS

🌟 Mongrels and Strays series (mainly Mongrels and Lockjaw)-- HassouToby; technically Mongrels' primary ships are Legosi/Haru and Louis/Juno, but it's more genfic with multiple POVs. Lockjaw is Pina/Riz-centric; canon divergence from ch 156 of the manga, so it's necessary to read at least that far to understand

I have a complicated love/hate relationship with Beastars, but this fic honestly retroactively makes Beastars a better experience, imo. it not only enhances the source material, but engages and challenges its implications in ways that I frankly think Beastars itself failed to, introducing a new final antagonist, new thematic tension, and new challenges for the main characters to face. more than anything though, Mongrels feels like what the end of Beastars should have been. this fic isn’t afraid to up the stakes and have actual consequences, making the central conflict feel like a real threat to both individual characters and society as a whole. this fic is intense and brutal, and it’s not afraid to make the characters you love hurt

Homestuck

🌟 Detective Pony -- sonnetstuck; Dirk-centric(??); it's an extension of a one-off joke in the comic, but it's not necessary to know HS to read it (but it's def more satisfying if you're at least familiar with the Alpha kids)

does this fic even need to be stated, for any HS fan? this is a classic of classics, the best rec any HS fan could give. a fic that starts off with a goofy joke from the original comic (a Pony Pals kid's book that Dirk has edited with silly commentary), which gradually snowballs into a much deeper story. a stunning piece of writing, I rank it among the best works of metafiction literature of all time. this fic does an incredible job of imitating Hussie's writing style (specifically Dirk's voice) and the multi-media presentation of HS, it almost feels like it popped straight out of the comic

Endangered -- Mortior; Dirk/Hal, Dirk-centric; robot-apocalypse AU, not necessary to know anything about HS

rly fun au, and one of my fave whump fics, for any whump fans out there. it's also one of my favorite depictions of an AI personality, like the approach to relationships and perceptions feels believable

The Magnus Archives

🌟 Two Ships Passing -- pyrites; Gerry Keay/Jon Sims-centric; a canon-divergent au starting before canon which slightly shifts the flow of the original story, so it's not strictly necessary to be familiar with TMA, but it helps

I must admit I never got around to finishing this one after it finished updating (😭), but trust me when I say this fic is stunning. some scenes still grip me 'round the throat to this day even just thinking about them. and the additional lore/background-building for certain characters is so so fitting and satisfying, it adds so much depth

To The Moon and Back series (main fic is Banned Book Week) -- verboseDescription; several different POVs, though BBB is Gerry/Tim-centric; the main fic diverges from canon after season 3, so I suppose knowledge up to that point is fine

another one I need to get around to finishing someday (idk why I dropped off a bunch of TMA fics specifically...), but this one introduces some interesting new character dynamics, and additional lore-building for many of the characters that adds fun new depth. also a few OCs whom I simply adore <3

What Belongs to the Sea -- TwoDrunkenCelestials, WhyNotFly; starts Elias/Jon, with Jon/Martin endgame, Jon-centric; "Jon is a selkie" au, and the fic implies/explains the rest of canon well enough to read without being familiar with TMA imo

this fic approaches canon worldbuilding from the direction of a different species, giving a unique new perspective on established truths of the setting. I also love the way Jon's character is so different, but still fundamentally the same kinda guy-- "fuck around and find out"-ass man lmao. not to mention Elias' fucked-up dynamic with Jon is ramped up here in a really delicious way, it rly puts their canon dynamic into perspective

Danny Phantom

🌟 Phantom of Truth / Shadow of a Doubt -- HaiJu; Danny Fenton & Maddie Fenton-centric; "what if" scenario divergence from an unspecific point in canon, would prolly be best to be familiar with the show but u can prolly get away with some wiki skimming

this one's a classic, and one of the big contributors to the "dissection/vivisection" genre of whump in the DP fandom, haha. it's such an intimate analysis of Danny's relationship with his mom, and it refuses to pull punches on Danny's situation and resulting trauma. I think it also does an excellent job challenging Maddie's perception/ethics in genuine and fundamental ways

Rise of the Guardians (movie)

🌟 Shadows and Light series -- not_poignant; Jack Frost/Pitch Black, Jack-centric; canon-compliant sequel to the movie (can't speak for book canon), u can prolly get away with reading a wiki summary if u don't wanna watch the movie

one of my fave fics for a decade now, I absolutely LOVE what this fic does for ROTG worldbuilding. so much thought is put into the politics of the fae community, and how magic functions both practically and thematically. and it introduces a ton of cool fae ocs, many of which now have their own stories, as the author has used their fae world here in other original stories as well (would also recommend!!). and the relationship between Pitch/Jack is excellent of course, with a lot of interesting BDSM elements to their dynamic (a common trend in this author's other writing as well)

Mob Psycho 100

🌟 A Breach of Trust -- Phantomrose96; Ritsu, Mob, & Reigen-centric, but multiple other POVs as well; diverges from canon before the start of the canon story, so knowing MP100 isn't necessary

this is a really fun "what if Reigen and Mob didn't meet when they were supposed to?" canon-divergent au. it pushes basically every character to their worst, most self-destructive ends, and it makes me want to throttle some of them (affectionate <3). the fic isn't done yet (as of posting this), but it promises to end satisfyingly-- it just has to put everyone through the wringer first lmao

Welcome to Night Vale

🌟 run, run, fast as you-- -- (orphaned); Cecil/Carlos, Carlos-centric; compliant with early NV lore, mostly diverges in some of Carlos' background and motivations moving to Night Vale. familiarity with s1 would be useful, but not strictly necessary

really really stunning fic, I love the additional lore-building for Carlos and Cecil here, so much is added to their characters. since this is such an old fic, some of the lore here ends up being retroactively false, as the podcast introduced different lore later on. but I almost wish some of the lore here was canon b/c it's just that good (like Cecil's whole thing with the orphanage, and how the orphanage even functions OUGH!)

The Devil Went Down To Georgia (you heard that right, the country song)

🌟 The Devil Went Down to Georgia (And Then Went Down on Johnny) series -- notbecauseofvictories; Johnny/The Devil, Johnny-centric; I guess a modern take on canon, kinda treated like an original story tbh, but like. you can also just listen to the song beforehand

the author clearly has a deep knowledge and passion for music-- especially country music-- and it rly shines through in this fic. the celebration of music and community and country culture here is just. idk, it's like being invited to the table, somehow, I love it. this whole fic is poetry and it makes me ache

Portal

Blue Sky -- wafflestories; Wheatley/Chell-centric; canon-compliant sequel to the second game, necessary to know the games to understand

I must admit it's been several years since I've read this one, so my memory of it isn't quite as strong. but I remember it being a very loving rehabilitation of Wheatley and Chell's relationship, and I believe it's considered a classic by the ship's fans.

How To Train Your Dragon (movie)

I Hear Him Scream -- Rift-Raft; Toothless & Hiccup-centric; diverges from canon at the point when Hiccup downs Toothless with the net at the beginning of the movie, so watching the movie isn't super necessary, tho I imagine most of us have seen it (as we should!!)

I don't know that I would call this one particularly well-written-- it can get kinda awkward and jarring at points, and the end of the story kinda goes off the rails for me. but the premise and worldbuilding make up for it, imo. but I admit I love xenofiction, so I love seeing the deep lore about dragon culture/society this fic presents

Kekkai Sensen

Fleißiger Junge -- TheLennyBunny; Klaus/Leo, Leo-centric; demon/angel au, not necessary to know KKSS

I really love the demon/angel worldbuilding in this one, with a delicious twist of horror that's so fitting to canon /chef's kiss/. and the way Leo's family is characterized (with several OC characters) is so so fun and charming. good eating for the starving Klaus/Leo fans out there 😭

RWBY

🌟 Teaching Qrow -- ByronNightshade; Qrow-centric; a canon-compliant prequel to the canon story, a bit of knowledge about the setting and Qrow's backstory are kinda necessary

I fucking love what this fic does for Qrow's character, it treats him with way more nuance and understanding than canon ever has (tho tbf, most Qrow fans do, lol). and all the additional OCs and building on the subtle implications of RWBY lore... AUGH it's good

My Hero Academia

Hero Class Civil Warfare -- RogueDruid; genfic with multiple POVs; "what if" scenario divergence from an unspecific point in canon, prolly necessary to at least be familiar with the world/characters to a point

really fun "what if this class exercise got got a bit too intense, haha~" au. it introduces a ton of fun new dynamics between the characters, and lets Izuku shine as a badass, chessmaster "villain"

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint

Imaginary Truths -- Mythril; Kim Dokja/Yoo Joonghyuk-centric; actor au, not necessary to know ORV

this fic does an excellent job translating the canon relationships/dynamics to this setting, and keeps the core of the story/themes intact in rly interesting ways.

new game (+) -- illusionedwhite; Kim Dokja/Yoo Joonghyuk, Yoo Joonghyuk-centric; role-reversal au, and since it starts from the beginning where where canon would have started, I guess it's not technically necessary to read ORV first? but ORV provides more context

this fic is rly careful about the particular way Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk switch roles-- it's very much about their story roles. their core characters/themes remain intact, they're just interpreted through a new lens here. this is for the fans that read ORV and thought, "what if I want to read ORV again, but slightly to the left?"

Genshin Impact

🌟 Begin Anew, O Lost Child -- DarthPeezy; Childe/Zhongli/Guizhong, Childe-centric; a time-travel au that diverges from canon at the battle with Osial in the Liyue chapter, so familiarity up to that point is necessary

there's something about circularity and connection, here. about reaching across expanses of time to connect with those you love, and those you lost. about the horror of fate, and the hope for a future in spite of it. idk, this fic did something to me

we were lovers -- ThirteenSocks; Kazuha/his unnamed friend, Kazuha-centric; "Kazuha loses his vision" au, with a few twists. this fic doesn't really touch canon involving the traveler, but familiarity with Inazuma is necessary, so at least up through that chapter in-game.

what else can I say except this fic is beautiful-- it has the same melodic quality that I associate with Kazuha himself, so it feels perfectly appropriate.

To Be or Not To Be (Human With You) -- lilbittofmatcha; Aether/Scaramouche, Aether-centric; diverges after the end of the whole Sumeru chapter, familiarity up to that point is necessary

I really really love Traveler fics that acknowledge that the Traveler is essentially an otherworldy alien being, and was perhaps even godlike(??) before landing in Teyvat. I especially love Aether's characterization here, and the obvious comparisons to be made with Scara's situation

Sinking Ships in Liyue Harbor -- whereherbonesareburied; Diluc/Kaeya, Diluc-centric; a "what if Kaeya left" divergence from canon sometime after the events of the Mondstadt chapter. it's necessary to be familiar with Kaeya and Diluc's relationship, so reading up on their lore is best, though familiarity up through the Liyue chapter will help with this one

something about the pacing and framing of this fic really charms me. like, Diluc's journey to find Kaeya is kinda framed as a series meetings with several new people, like snapshots from a photo album? it's fun to see so many different, brief impressions of characters through his eyes

Osomatsu-san

Dissociation Disease -- PyrrhicFiend; Karamatsu-centric; technically features multiple AUs, but the core story is show canon. not strictly necessary to be familiar with the show

a fic I never ended up finishing (someday..), but I remember it being incredibly trippy and bizarre in the best of ways. though it may not be the best fic to read dealing with dissociation themself, because it grapples a lot with warped perception and hallucinations

🌟 Frater, Ave Atque Vale -- (orphaned); Karamatsu/Osomatsu, Osomatsu-centric; fantasy AU, not necessary to know the show

this one's perhaps on the razor's edge of not being long enough for this list, but I'm counting it anyways. there's something about 'brief' writing styles that often captures me, like parsing a scene down to its bare essentials makes the tone/emotion land more powerfully. this fic is probably my favorite example of this style

Voltron: VLD

The Rites of Courtship -- calibratingentropy; Keith/Thace, Keith-centric; canon-divergence from the end of s1 ep12, and it's kinda necessary to be familiar at least to that point, though u might be able to skim the wiki

a rarepair I never woulda considered if a friend hadn't recced this fic to me way back, haha. this fic features some of my favorite alien worldbuilding, with a lot of thought and care put into Galran culture and biology, I think about it a lot as a specevo creator myself

The Favored Champion -- sugarapplesweet; Sendak/Shiro, Shiro-centric; canon-divergence before canon, while Shiro is still a coliseum fighter

real fucked-up Stockholm Syndrome abusive relationship, Shiro goes thru the wringer </3. I love the way the relationship with the Lions is depicted here too, the chapter where Shiro basically screams at the Black Lion grips me by the throat. another great example of cool Galra worldbuilding too, not as heavy on the bio side as the last one but fun to see either way!

Tokyo Mew Mew

The Deal -- RizuOnceAgain; Ichigo/Quiche, Ichigo-centric; canon-divergent from an unspecified(?) point in canon, and I um. I've never watched TMM and know very little beyond TMM's basic premise and main characters? so take that as you will

I don't often read fics from things I'm not familiar with, but I trust my friend's recs with my life, and this one did not disappoint. I can't speak on how faithful it is to the original, but Ichigo/Quiche's dynamic here makes me go crazy nutso bonkers!! it has me banging on the walls and chewing furniture, oh my god!! it almost makes me wanna watch the show even tho I know I won't like it nearly as much as this fic 😭.

#there are still a few fics I can't in good faith rec here simply b/c of the source material #sigh. they still live in me heart tho. and my AO3 <3 #shut up ashley #I may end up updating this as I please #fic recs

Very well, @twiilys, I'll bite! 😁 (I am a shameless stats bitch. You picked me well.)

Unsurprisingly, the first five are all Anne With an E fanfics. Having published 104 of those, even with 156 total on AO3, they definitely dominate these kinds of games. The least words fic is an FMA fic from ages ago.

Most hits: Words From the Heart (14752 hits) is an unsurprising winner, given that it has 20 chapters and was posted shortly after the cancellation news. Which is not to say it's undeserving, but I do think that it's a particular study in long fic + very active fandom.

Second most kudos: Is also Words From the Heart (630) so... I don't have much to say about that. 😅 Inflection Points unsurprisingly has the most kudos, is what I'll say.

Third most comments: In Which Feelings Start to Bloom: An Inflection Points Continuation (378 comments, 138 threads) has the third most comments but the 8th most comment threads. I was apparently having a lot of extended discussions on this fic! It contains one of my favorite scenes I've written to this day, where Gilbert chooses to spell "indomitable" as A-N-N-E. (The epilogues also led to one of my best-written smut pieces: "Moonlit, Starstruck".)

Fourth most bookmarks: As the Seasons Pass (102 bookmarks) has 2.5x as many bookmarks as comments. Not sure what that says about the story, but it's a fun fact!

Fifth most words: Covalent Bonds: Ineffable Chemistry Side Stories (8,243 words) was Ineffable Chemistry lore/missing scenes that I greatly enjoyed writing.

Least words: Only Together (266 words) was written for Royai Day 2011, and while it's not the old fic I'm most proud of (that prize goes to Altered States of Consciousness), I stand by it as a fic I had fun playing around with style-wise.

Not sure I really know who to tag, but if you see this and want to do it, consider yourself tagged.

Party of Two- A Tom Hiddleston x Female Reader One Shot

This one shot was inspired by a request from @youlightmeupfinn who wanted a Tom one shot to "Ride" by Chase Rice. I had just planned on writing a short Romantic Tom story with some sensual spice to it, but it turned into an entire plot at nearly 4.9k words!!!!

Warnings: mostly fluff with some smut thrown in at the end, mentions of cheating and alcohol.

“Well, consider this your eviction notice then, you lying piece of shit! I don’t care where you go, as long as you aren’t there when I get home!”

After working so closely with you over the last few months, Tom would recognize that voice anywhere. He had originally stepped outside to grab some air, but now that he heard how upset you were, there was no way he was going back in until he knew you were okay.

Upon hearing footsteps approaching, you quieted your soft sobs and quickly tried to compose yourself. Turning around to face the secret visitor, your fake smile slowly faded when you locked eyes with those baby blues that you had found yourself drowning in each day at work. The concern on his features told you that you didn’t have to hide your emotions right now and you turned to face the view once again.

“I assume you heard all of that?”

Wrapping his arm around your shoulder and leaning down to place a kiss on the top of your head, Tom did his best to console you without making you uncomfortable in anyway. Playing lovers on screen was one thing. Overstepping boundaries off the studio lot was another.

“I’m afraid so. It appears I chose the wrong time to take a break from the wrap party… Do you want to talk about it, darling?”

You found yourself leaning into his side without even thinking about it. Over the course of filming, the two of you had grown into close friends and it was second nature to be close with him. The romantic scenes between your characters felt natural with someone as warm and open as Tom, so he had quickly become the person you would turn to when you and your long term boyfriend would run into problems.

“Well, there isn’t much to say on the matter. I went home after the meeting this morning to get ready for tonight and found him under his personal trainer. I guess I should have seen it coming though. Nobody goes to the gym that much and doesn’t see results from it. Apparently, my bed allowed her a more hands on approach to her workout regimen.”

“Is now the time that I tell you I never liked the guy?”

Tom couldn’t help but smile as you looked at him with a smirk on your face. Even though the California night was warm, the breeze on the balcony wasn’t and he saw you shiver slightly. His suit jacket was being pulled off and wrapped around you before he gave it a second thought.

As you became enveloped in the smell of his cologne, your heart ached that you wouldn’t get many more chances to enjoy the citrus musk that was so uniquely Tom. The two of you had a few more items to handle next week and then the entire project would be wrapped up until the press tour early next year for the movie release. The two of you stood in the silence together for a while longer before you sighed.

“He’s the one that cheated, yet I’m the one that has to find somewhere else to sleep tonight. Looks like I’m getting a hotel room until he packs his stuff and gets out. I refuse to look at his face one more second.”

“… or you could just stay with me instead.”

He wasn’t sure who was more surprised by his response in that moment. After studying his face for any sign of a joke, he watched you lightly shake your head and go back to watching the lights of the city in the valley below.

“I can’t put you out like that, Tom.”

The feel of his fingers slipping beneath your chin caused you to look back into his eyes once more as he brought your attention back to him.

“Sweetheart, I wouldn’t have offered if I didn’t mean it. I wouldn’t be able to sleep knowing you are in some hotel room after the day you’ve had. I get the feeling that you don’t exactly want to be alone right now either.”

“You’re probably right. A night with a friend sounds much better than crying alone with room service dessert and a sappy movie.”

His hand shifted to cup your cheek as he smiled down at you.

“That’s the spirit. Besides, why settle for room service when my place has the wine you love and some of those gourmet chocolates from that bakery next to the studio.”

The way your face lit up made the flutters in his stomach intensify. When you were around, the butterflies he felt made everything around him fade away.

“Now you’re speaking my language, Hiddleston. What do you say we rejoin the party for one more drink? I’m sure they are starting to wonder where we disappeared to by now.”

One more drink turned into a few more before Tom called for the car to take the two of you back to the house he had been leasing during shooting. Even though it was late, he still opened the bottle of wine that he had promised you. In this moment he was glad he had thought to have a spare bottle of your favorite vintage on hand in case he had the chance to throw one more dinner party before heading back to London. They had become a common occurrence during this project, but he mainly did it just to have an excuse to see you outside of work. The sight of you stepping back into the room wearing a set of his lounge clothes caused him to spill the glass he was pouring, and he quickly turned to clean the mess with a hand towel.

“Thank goodness for uncomfortable formal gowns…”

“What was that? I couldn’t hear you.”

Tom turned around and put on his best smile and slid a glass towards you on the other side of the kitchen island.

“I said the sweets are in the fridge.”

Liquid Courage (Loki x Female Reader One Shot)

This one shot was inspired by a post from @mochie85 and a song she loves. After listening to "Half Crazy" by Juslisen, I knew I had to write this story!!!

4.6k words

TRIGGER WARNINGS: mentions of a drunken hookup, excessive drinking, jealousy, and unrequited love

Contains angst, slight fluff, and mentions of sex.

“Whoa, slow down killer.”

With a dramatic roll of your eyes, you downed the third shot of the night without a second thought. All you wanted to do was forget for just one night. As if she knew exactly what was going through your mind, Natasha put herself between you and the broody god at the opposite end of the bar.

“Does this have anything to do with a certain cranky Asgardian prince? We’ve all noticed that the besties haven’t been on the best of terms lately. What are you two fighting about now?”

After chasing the shot with a large swig of your mixed drink, you winced slightly as the burn made its way through your chest. It still didn’t do much to sooth the ache that you felt inside. With a sigh, you finally voiced the one thing that hadn’t left your thoughts in weeks.

“I wish it was just a simple fight. This is so much worse.”

Watching her brows furrow with concern, you took a deep breath and forced the words out.

“He and I… we uh… we hooked up, Nat…”

The words were enough to make the trained spy sputter on her drink. Not much shocked her anymore, but that revelation was certainly enough to catch her off guard.

“The music in here is a little loud tonight. I’m going to need you to repeat that again.”

Pouring yourself another shot from the bottle you swiped from behind the bar, you refused to meet her eyes, knowing the sight of him was right over her shoulder. The way he was burning a hole right through you with his intense stare made you wonder if he had heard your confession.

“We both know you heard me, Romanoff. I won’t say it again.”

“Alright… wow… so you slept with your best friend who you have been madly in love with for ages. I take it things didn’t go well? Was the sex horrible or what?”

You didn’t say a word causing her to study you and approach it at another angle.

“Spill it babe. I need some details here.”

“I don’t know.”

“What do you mean you don’t know? How can you not know if the sex was good or not?”

Finally meeting her eyes, you bit your lip and darted your eyes over her shoulder to the man in question who was staring at the glass in front of him.

“I don’t know because I don’t remember, alright! It’s just flashes in my mind. We were hanging out in the common room passing a bottle of tequila back and forth and at some point the conversation shifted to not so family friendly topics. I told him about my dry spell, explained what exactly a dry spell was, and then I briefly recall him saying something to the extent of offering to end said dry spell. After that it’s kind of fuzzy. Heavy petting and making out in the floor in front of the couch turned into something more and then I don’t remember anything else until the next morning.”

Natasha took the bottle from you and poured her own shot.

“Based on the way things have been since then, it wasn’t a pleasant morning after?”

The memory of the next day caused your vision to blur and you quickly looked down to compose yourself.

“Something like that… As if it wasn’t awkward enough, he called it a mistake. I’ve wondered for years what it would be like to wake up beside him and Lohk immediately regrets it…”

Feeling his gaze on you once again, you turned to face the mirror behind the bar and wiped away the few tears that had fallen. You locked eyes with her in the reflection as she rubbed you back to comfort you with tears of her own.

“I’m so sorry, sweetie.”

Throwing on a fake smile, you tried to lighten the mood.

Gold (Tom Hiddleston x Female Reader ) Chapter 1 MATURE, 18+

Click here to read the other stories in the Hiddleston Color Series

By the time you had realized that the life of a sugar baby wasn't everything you thought it would be, it was already too late. You fallen in love with him. When you finally walk away from him and the life he has provided you, fate continues to bring the two of you back to each other. Will Tom see what he had in front of him all along before it's gone for good? Will a normal life provide you with much more than he ever could?

Chapter 1

Flipping through the channels one more time, you finally stopped on a movie you had seen twenty times and curled up under the blanket on the huge, oversized couch. It was nights like this that the house felt massive. Honestly, there were a few rooms you hadn’t entered in months. Why he felt like you needed three guest rooms was beyond you. The office at least came in handy during the semesters when you would work on your assignments for school.

In the beginning, the space had been his. It was a place he would escape to on the extended visits when he needed to get work done. Eventually he spent less time in the office of your home and also with you. When you started your graduate studies, you did a deep clean on the layer of dust that had built from neglect in his absence. After redecorating it to sort your tastes, the space was officially yours. At least as much as it could be yours. It was still his home even if he was hardly in it.

Your eyes had just begun to drift close when you heard the distinct sound of his Jaguar pulling into the driveway. Not sure if you had imagined it, you muted the television and held your breath as you waited. When you heard the car door close, you frantically threw the blanket off of you and grabbed your cell.

No missed calls or texts.

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!”

Making a mad dash for the master bedroom, you knew you didn’t have time to shave your legs or select an outfit for him. It was going to be a bare minimum kind of night. Somehow you were able to wash your hair and your body at the same time. When you were still eager to please him, you made it a point to keep yourself perfectly groomed. The longer time went on, it was as if you both stopped trying.

Your hand reached out for the towel you had placed on the rack outside the enormous glass cage that was supposed to be a shower. Quickly drying off, you hustled out of the steamy bathroom and back into your bedroom to find the stupid black lace nightie that you knew was his favorite to try to make up for the fact that you hadn’t been at the door to greet him. In the dim light of the bedside lamp, you didn’t see his figure seated in the chair in the dark corner.

“Don’t bother, baby girl.”

The sound of your yelp caused a slight smirk on his lips as he took another swig from the whiskey glass in his hand. Once you caught your breath, you turned to address him.

“I wasn’t expecting you tonight. You usually at least shoot me a text to let me know you’re on your way.”

“I was in the neighborhood.”

It was impossible to miss the fact that it was an outright lie. The tuxedo he was wearing gave himself away. The way he slurred his words slightly also told you that he had been drinking, even before the whiskey he was currently nursing from the wet bar in the living room. You let out a frustrated sigh as you shoved the various intimates into the drawer of your dresser.

“You used to lie better than that, Thomas.”

“I beg your pardon?”

The gasp was unintentional as you quickly realized the words had been said aloud. Before you could turn around to fix your mistake, he was already finishing off his drink and setting the glass on the floor beside the chair as he stood to make his way over to you.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean-“

The words were cut off as his hand came up to your throat and walked you backwards against the wall. It wasn’t enough to hinder your breathing, only to reassert his dominance over you. With his lips hovering over yours, you could already taste the alcohol on his breath.

“First you aren’t at the door to greet me, princess. Now, you seem to have forgotten how to address me. Because I’m feeling generous tonight, I will give you one more chance. What’s my name, little one?”

The word had become tarnished over the years together and left a bitter taste on your lips.

“Daddy.”

“That’s right. Now why don’t you lose the attitude and show me just how much you’ve missed me, darling.”

With his hand still holding your throat below your jaw, he reached up and pulled the towel away from your body.

“So, gorgeous.”

His lips finally crashed against yours, causing a whimper to escape at the relief of finally having his touch again for the first time in weeks. Within seconds you gave into him and let him have you once more. Your breath came in short pants as he began to trail his lips down your naked body until he had fallen to his knees before you. You looked down into his eyes as you smiled at him. The look on his face was dark and serious as he grabbed your leg and hooked it over his shoulder. The expression was one you had seen from that very first tonight together.

My #1 post of 2022

The Science of Sex ( Loki x Female Reader One Shot)

After seeing a TikTok tonight, I knew I just had to write about it! What would happen if you gave Mischief a pudding cup to eat without a spoon? A mesmerizing show, that's what! Enjoy! ;)

warnings: Absolute disrespect for an innocent dessert... Other than that, nothing too vulgar...

Wanda walked into the kitchen to see you sitting on the counter with Natasha leaning beside you. She immediately noticed how you both seemed to be patiently waiting for some reason.

"What are you two up to now?"

Glancing at each other with a mirrored smirk, you spoke up and answered for the both of you.

"We set up an experiment. I read in this month's issue of Cosmo that you can tell a lot about a man's... skills by watching them eat."

"Ooookay.... so what's the experiment then?"

Natasha took this one.

"We made sure all the guys saw us bring pudding cups back from the store today then hid all of the spoons."

Wanda's face flashed with confusion until the light bulb went off. The fact that her cheeks now held the same hue as her hair made you giggle. You watched as she swallowed hard before speaking again with a slight quiver to her voice now.

"Oh... So... any results yet?"

"Yuuuuup! Wilson and Barnes found them first. Barnes started out nicely but eventually lost his patience and searched the kitchen until he found where we hid the silverware. He handed a spoon off to Wilson before we could collect much data. Parker came in next but it felt wrong so we gave the kid a spoon right away. He's like my baby brother."

Natasha elbowed you in the side, causing you to immediately halt the conversation.

"Incoming ladies..."

All three of you went silent as Thor and Loki appeared.

"Brother, I swear to you, these little treats are delightful. I first discovered them while visiting Midgard when I first met Lady Jane."

The princes seemed to ignore your presence as they made their way across the room. Thor pulled two pudding cups from the fridge and handed one to Loki before opening the utensil drawer to find it empty.

"All in the dishwasher. Sorry boys."

Thor seemed to think about it for a moment before shrugging his shoulders and peeling the top off the cup. Without wasting much time, he squeezed the cup until the plastic bent under his tight grasp and proceeded to quickly eat the pudding until most of it was gone before carelessly tossing it over his shoulder into the trash.

As you all stared at him with a disappointed expression, you caught Loki watching and immediately pretended to be looking at something else.

No longer interested in watching Thor devour his second cup, your eyes drift over to Loki who delicately opened the treat in his hand and got to work. Over the next little while, the three of you watched as the God used his apparently very dexterous tongue to savor the treat while sitting in the window sill silently reading the book in his lap. Switching between kitten licks and wide curls and swipes of the muscle, it felt impossible to look away from the sight in front of you.

When he was nearly done, he used his pointer and middle finger to retrieve the rest from the very bottom of the cup, swirling them around slowly to gather every last drop. As he brought the long digits to his mouth, his eyes flicked up to you, catching you off guard. With your eyes locked onto his, the two fingers slipped between his lips before emerging seconds later cleaned of all trace of the delicious snack. You had completely forgotten you weren't alone in the room until Natasha whispered beside you.

"Close your mouth sweetie... you're drooling."

Hearing him returning to the kitchen, the three of you pretended to be looking at something on Wanda's phone when Loki crossed the room to dispose of the now immaculately clean container. Finding your gaze drifting back to him, you looked up in time to see him wink at you as he passed by, causing your mouth to suddenly go dry. As he left the room, you let out the breath you were holding and shared a look with the other ladies.

Just as Natasha and Wanda turned away to resume looking at the device in Wanda's hand, you felt someone standing behind you. Before you even had the chance to move, his breath is against your ear.

"If you desired to know what I am capable of, Kitten, you merely had to ask instead of consulting that magazine of yours."

Falling victim to the sultry whisper currently sending a shiver down your spine, you helplessly watched as the other two women in the room carried on their conversation a few feet away. The feeling of his hand gripping your hip is now met with him being pressed against your backside to move even closer to your ear.

"I must say I was intrigued after finding it discarded on the sofa last night, left open to the list of sexual positions to insure the most intense orgasms. Should you feel the need to try any of them or find yourself needing a demonstration of my skills first hand, I'll be in my room..."

Your knees nearly buckled when he traced the tip of his tongue along the side of your neck before catching your earlobe between his teeth. The sound of his deep chuckle fading was the only indication you had that he had left the room once again.

Beatrice was having fun, honestly knowing she wouldn’t be able to work for a few months this was more than welcome.

She was also enjoying the snacks, what were they? She brings one close to her eyes while she chews the very same thing, Nicole looking up at her in question, “...I think…this has pepperoni, hmmm,it’s so good.” she is sitting in the shade, right next to Evelyn’s seat but she’s busy talking to her relatives right now.

Nicole tries to reach for her mother’s hand, trying to snag a bite “Okay, here,” she shoves her finger inside before pulling out a piece of cheese, small enough for Nicole to chew on it. She’s careful while doing so, but Nicole has proven she’s a Schiavoni because she adores cheese, “Nice,right? Hold on,Shells- oh.” the blonde comes back with a cheese platter, holding it up to Beatrice’s face “Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.” and she shoves another snack into her mouth, ‘Hm, this is so good. Evelyn is great with party foods.” she sits down next to Beatrice and Nicole, flicking her eyes when she sees the phone resting on Beatrice’s thigh, “You talked to Rooster?’

“I sent him a message, since we know that Ev will have a boy,I thought he’d like to know about that.” she smiles, “And because Hangman wouldn’t shut up about it, so.”

“Of course.” Shells mutters as she chews “Fuckin’ weird.”

“What?”

The blonde shrugs while crossing her legs by the knee, “I don’t know, you two are with kids, married - well, Ev will get married when Jake comes back,I think…and I don’t know, it feels like a lot more time passed than just four years.” she chuckles, “I mean, the second you and Rooster met, it was like this whole spiral of new shit came along too, not that I’m complaining,after all I got Bob. But…you know, it started with the two of you.”

Beatrice smiles, nodding in agreement. "You're right, it does feel like a lot has happened in such a short amount of time. Meeting Rooster definitely brought a whirlwind of change into my life, and I never expected to end up where I am now. But I wouldn't trade it for anything."

She takes a moment to reflect on their journey, her eyes softening with fondness. "From that first encounter in the bar…everything just fell into place. It was meant to be." Shels clears her throat quiet loudly, arching her brows so the brunette continues, “...and yes, you helped, a lot.”

“Thank you.I sure did. Because if I didn’t make you move, you’d both die pining one another.” she shakes her head as she leans back on her seat, “And hey, I just gave the first push, you did everything else and hooked him in.”

Beatrice rolled her eyes but she was grateful for Shells' bluntness. "You did give us that push, and I'll always be thankful for that.” ‘you are welcome’ Shells says, dipping her head forward “Sometimes, all it takes is a little nudge to set things in motion."

Nicole, who has been quietly snacking on another piece of cheese, looks up at Shells and Beatrice with an innocent expression. "Mama dada?” she questions as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, making Beatrice smile and kiss her temple.

“Yes,mama and dada.”

“That kid is going to be a menace when she’s older.”

“Hey,’ Bea narrows her eyes playfully, “It’s my daughter, excuse me?”

“She’s already talking, she's going to learn how to get your car keys at eleven. Just you wait.”

Beatrice blinked, staring at Shells as the party continued around them, “...did you steal a car at eleven?” Shells doesn’t reply, but she does drink her non-alcoholic punch while looking away. Honestly there were things in Shells’ life that Beatrice decides it’d be better to wonder than to think about. As she was about to question her again, she saw Evelyn approaching with a glass of water in her hand, “Hey, are you done socializing?”

“For now.” she sighs, flopping in the seat that’s between the two women, leaning back and kicking her shoes off, ‘Jesus, I can’t remember who was the last person I talked to. And they are all family.”

"Well, it's a big family gathering, Ev. It's hard to keep track of everyone. But hey, at least you got a break from the relatives for a moment. I know how bad it was when they found out about Nikki.”

“Aa!”

Evelyn takes a long sip of her water and lets out a content sigh. "True, true. As much as I love them, it can be a bit overwhelming at times.” she looks over to where her uncle Tom was, currently trying to show her younger cousins - and Jake’s young relatives- how to throw a baseball over the fence, “Mom!Uncle Tom has a baseball!”

Vivian’s smile drops, “He what-THOMAS! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT!”

The three of them just watch as Evelyn’s mother walks over to her brother and yanks it out of his hand, “...where did he get that anyway?” Bea asks quietly, “Did he bring it with him?”

“Most likely.” Evelyn mutters, “His favorite story is how he almost went to the big leagues but he chose to get married instead. Which my aunt say never happened. He is a lawyer through and through. Runs in the family.” she explains, “On my mom’s side at least…anyway are you okay?”

Beatrice looks up from Nicole to meet Evelyn’s brown eyes “Me?” her friend nods while still drinking water, “I’m okay! Why are you asking?”

“Because while we are both pregnant you are the one carrying two and a baby.” she smiles down at Nicole who just babbles something in reply, “You need anything? A better chair? Something comfier?”

“Oh,no,no,I’m fine.” Beatrice smiles, “Honestly I’m okay. This party is really helping me get my mind at ease, Rooster’s deployment has been a bit hard lately but…you know,” she plays with Nicole’s hand for a few seconds as her daughter enjoys her tiny piece of cheese before she looks ahead, ‘It’s manageable. I just want him to come back safe and it’s been only a few weeks apart?” she didn’t want to explain how anxious she was feeling even before the deployment, they didn’t need to worry about her like that.

Evelyn reaches out and places a comforting hand on Beatrice's arm, patting it twice. "I understand, Bea. Deployments are always tough,and honestly I’ve been feeling kinda iffy about Jake too." she mutters, ‘Mainly because he’s not here to know that the baby pumpkin will be a boy…well, as long as they decide to be, but I wish he was here.”

“How have you been handling it?”

Evelyn’s laugh is dry and a bit humorless, “Well…you know, this really helped. I was angry about changing the dates but I think it was better if I did this.” she smiles at a few family members, especially from Jake’s side, before letting her smile drop, “I do think we’ve been going good. Even my dad is helping.” she waves at her father, who smiles and waves back, before turning his attention to his brothers-in-law, “I know he’s been trying to…be more present. He’s going to be a grandpa now…speaking of which, how did your family react when you told them about the twins?”

“Yeah!” Shells says, “You never told us!”

Beatrice inhales softly, her mouth parting as she’s violently reminded of that day. She wanted to wait until her father was out of the hospital, and her siblings were all at home with them…she did fear making her father feel worse but it wasn’t that bad.

Well…

“...my mom fainted.” she mutters, ‘Um…Sabrina fainted,Leonardo fainted.” she frowns a bit, chewing her lower lip “But e-everyone else took really nicely and um, once my mom recovered she cried. A lot. A whole lot, oh wow she cried even more than in my wedding! Hah…um…” she does think it was a lot more dramatic than what she was telling her friends, but she was too traumatized to say it outloud.

Evelyn's eyes widen in surprise as Beatrice recounts her family's reaction. "Wow, that sounds intense. I mean, I knew having twins would be a big deal, but fainting and crying? That's... quite the response."

Shells leans forward, her curiosity piqued. "What about your dad? How did he take the news?"

Beatrice's expression softens as she thinks about her father's reaction. "Well, my dad wasn’t in the hospital at the time, which made it a lot easier. When I told him about the twins, his eyes filled with tears, and he just hugged me tightly. He kept saying how happy he was. It was such a beautiful moment… and my mom cried again. She cried um…a lot."

Evelyn smiles warmly, holding her head up with a hand and propping her elbow on her knee. "I met your mom, she's just really emotional when it comes to these things. And I’m glad your dad was happy too…and your siblings?"

“Oh they are all the same. Except Michael,I think he knew from the spot.” she shrugged, leaning back on her seat and holding Nicole on her chest, being mindful of her growing bump, “It was…nice? They are checking on me too,and I forgot to tell Roos about it damn.”

“Dam!”

“W-no! Nikki that’s a bad word!” Beatrice’s panicked stare was only broken when her daughter covered her mouth to giggle, “Oh god,I can’t even imagine once she starts repeating Rooster’s words.” she sighs, looking down at her diaper “I need to change her,” she’s already standing up and stares at Evelyn because she has no idea where the bathroom is at her parents’ house, “Ev, can you um–”

“No worries.” her friend stands up with a grunt, squinting her eyes while setting her empty glass aside, “Follow me.”

Evelyn leads the way, guiding Beatrice through the bustling party towards the bathroom. It does take a while to get there since some of the party goers now paid attention to Beatrice and Nicole. Nikki, of course, loved the attention and just cooed and gurgled at everyone who smiled at her. Luckily it doesn’t take long for them to leave the commotion, with Beatrice following closely behind, cradling Nicole in her arms and grateful for Evelyn's assistance.

As they walk, Evelyn looks over her shoulder and smiles reassuringly at Beatrice. "Does she need anything?"

Beatrice returns the smile, feeling a sense of relief wash over her, shaking her head. "Thank you, Ev.But no, I got everything in here." she lifts the shoulder that holds the bag strap, “I just need a clean space to do it.”

Evelyn reaches the bathroom door and holds it open for Beatrice. "Alright,I might stay here…I kinda need a break for everyone else if that’s okay?"

Beatrice nods understandingly. "Of course, Ev. Take all the time you need.It won’t be a bother."

Evelyn smiles gratefully and steps aside, letting Beatrice enter the bathroom with Nicole in her arms. "Thanks, Bea. I'll be right outside if you need anything. Just give me a shout."

With that, Evelyn closes the door behind Beatrice, leaving her to tend to Nicole in privacy. Beatrice finds a clean, spacious area to lay down a changing mat and gently places Nicole on it. She takes a moment to take a deep breath, appreciating the quietness of the bathroom compared to the lively party outside. Not that she’s complaining, I mean, she could handle her own family, but with her mind going so fast it was better to focus.

As she carefully removes Nicole's diaper and begins the process of changing her, Beatrice reflects on the events of the day. It's been a good day so far, she talked to Rooster and now she’s enjoying a party! It could be much worse.

Nicole babbles happily, seemingly unaware of the commotion happening beyond the bathroom door. Beatrice smiles at her daughter, taking her time, ensuring that Nicole is clean and comfortable before carefully securing a fresh diaper in place. Nicole babbles some more, kicking her little legs so much Beatrice has to hold one of them, “Nikki, just let me fix your skirt at least.”

Rebellion.

Nicole just moved her legs even more,giggling and loving how her mother’s face went from calm to exasperatedly amused until she couldn’t help but laugh, “You, are terrible.” and she tickles the baby’s tummy, “You are just like your father. You two have a way to making me laugh and forget every bad thing that goes on in my brain.” she whispers, knowing Evelyn was right outside.

Beatrice’s smile drops and she sighs, the anxiety was still there, gnawing at her spine, whispering things she didn’t want to hear nor think about. “It’s fine. It’s all fine.” she whispers, closing her eyes and clenching her jaw, quickly meeting her reflection and smiling - the best she could- “It’s all good. I talked to him today so it’s fine…anyway.”

Beatrice scoops Nicole up into her arms, cradling her close, burying her nose in her daughter’s hair and closing her eyes again, “It’s fine.” she bounces on the spot a bit, trying to get rid of the nerves, “God,it’s fine. Why am I like this?”. She pulls back and takes a moment to admire her daughter's tiny features, feeling a surge of love and protectiveness wash over her. "You're such a precious little girl, Nicole.” her daughter blinks up at her, “Yes you are.” she feels the sting of tears but holds it back the best way that she can.

As Beatrice holds Nicole in her arms, she finds solace in the unconditional love that emanates from her daughter. Nicole's innocent gaze and infectious smile bring a sense of joy and peace to Beatrice's heart, even in moments of doubt and anxiety.

Like right now.

Gently swaying back and forth, Beatrice takes a deep breath, willing herself to find calm amidst the storm of emotions. She reminds herself that she has a support system in place, both with Rooster and her friends like Evelyn and Shells, who are there for her during this challenging time. “Oh boy, okay.” she turns on her heel to walk out of the bathroom, once she feels she’s okay enough and meets Evelyn there.

Her friend was leaning against the wall, this time with her arms crossed and eyes distant, “Um,Ev?” she snaps the tall woman out of her thoughts because she physically jumped, “Sorry,I uh,we’re finished.”

Evelyn blinks, momentarily caught off guard by Beatrice's voice. She quickly regains her composure and pushes herself away from the wall, offering Beatrice a warm smile. "Oh, sorry about that. Lost in my thoughts for a moment. How's everything with Nicole?"

Beatrice returns the smile, her own expression a bit confused. "She's doing great. Just a little rebel, this one." She holds Nicole up for Evelyn to see, who immediately breaks into a grin while kicking her small legs, “Look at that.”.

"She takes after her parents, I see," Evelyn chuckles. "Well, I'm glad everything went smoothly. Are you feeling alright?"

Beatrice nods, her voice steady but her eyes are still on Nicole and she takes the time to adjust the bag strap on her shoulder "Anxiety acting up, nothing more."

“...can I ask you something?”

“Yeah, sure!”

Evelyn chews the inside of her cheek, going back to crossing her arms, “...how do you feel about this deployment?” she questions quietly, “I want to ask Shells but you know how she’ll be,” and she makes a movement with her hand, something akin to ‘what the hell’ and rolling her eyes, “She won’t give me a straight answer…but you will. I am anxious as well,Bea…and I’ve handled deployment a lot.” she flicks her gaze to Cyclone’s picture on the wall, the crisp white uniform appearing even brighter under the light, “But this one…I don’t know, something feels off.”

And Beatrice hated it because it feels like it.

“Listen,ugh,’ Evelyn rubbed the bridge of her nose, “Sorry, sorry,I don’t want to add to it. I’m just…I don’t have anyone to share my worries with. My mom…she’s more used to it than I am but–” and Evelyn goes back to leaning on the wall, this time Beatrice joins her, with Nicole still babbling happily with her head on Bea’s shoulder, “...feels off doesn’t it?”

She didn’t want to admit it, “...it does.”

“They’ll be okay.”

“I know. They will.”

‘Then why,” Evelyn begins, throwing her hands up, “Why are we nervous like this?”

“Well,I don’t know about you but my anxiety never really left…I think it’s worse because of the pregnancy.” she suggests, clearly not knowing it either, “But…we are still talking to them, you know? And…and knowing more about what’s been going on, within the rules of course, so…maybe it’s the hormones.”

“...makes sense.”

“Yeah! They are good at what they do.” Was she really comforting Evelyn and not vice-versa? Is this an alternative universe??? “And I know they’ll be okay…especially now.” she inhales softly, then shakes her head, “Anyway, let’s go back to the party, yeah?I’m sure your family is worried sick about you now.” she places a hand on Evelyn’s shoulder, this time leading her back instead. “I think we’ll both need this more than we know”

She does wait for Evelyn to walk out first, taking a few minutes to breathe and close her eyes, only opening when she feels good enough. She knows they’ll be alright, but she doesn’t really mind when she pulls out her phone to write him a message.

I love you. I know you’ll do good. Stay safe Roos.
