#or I wish i was smart enough in my early 20s to bag an old sugar daddy
Text
Tumblr stop deleting the readmore. Let me rant in peace 😒
FUCK i am 🤏🏽 close to running away to live in the wilderness somewhere 😤
Every day I hate my job more and goddamn more but i have literally no other option but to just suck it up. My boss has NO boundaries and messages me at any time of the day or night or on weekends, and im expected to reply IMMEDIATELY no matter what. Even when i take “vacations” (which i dont) or when im sick (EVEN WITH COVID) im expected to meet deadlines regardless.
I do get to WFH so i get up at like 8-9 and just work in my pjs all day, and it is “creative writings” so im technically reading books every day. But theyre “male power fantasy” books that legitmately (no joke) make me want to step in front of cars on a daily basis. The audience for these books are every incel fucking idiot misogynist on reddit, so we write dummed down porn basically. And i have nothing against porn, but the fact that there cant be any other men in these books except the MC bc the readers are so insecure tell you everything you need to know 🙃 And every time my boss berates me for something stupid like “oh the women cant roll their eyes ever bc men dont like that” i just want to SCREAM 😤
Honestly if i was back in my home state, I would have quit already. But im out of state and basically living pay check to pay check on my sole income since my fiance isnt working while he finishes law school. I have like $20 left in my account every month after bills and expenses, so if i quit, i have literally NO safety net. I wouldnt have enough for one months rent or even have enough to move back home. Which makes me super fucking anxious like… all the time. When i first started getting jobs, I saved up and made sure I always had at least $1000 in case shit happens (and bc i grew up poor lol yay trauma) and now I dont have enough for a night of takeout.
To top it off, my cars been dead for like a year bc I dont have the money to re-register it or actually get it running, so Im just stuck in the house all day 🤗
And idk how to explain this constant money anxiety to my fiance bc he grew up rich and white and his parents still send him money for things every so often just cuz. But here i am, sending MY parents money sometimes even if I dont have it and staying up at night wondering how tf im gonna pay for my parents when my dad gets too old to do his contracting work. (Hes 60, with a shit ton of injuries, so prob soon). Im wondering if I can yank out my own IUD later this yr bc i dont have money to see a doctor. Im wondering what will happen if our dogs get sick or if we have an accident.
I know if any of this happens, ill figure something out. I always do. Im the eldest daughter, the “golden child,” I cant fail.
But fuck… sometimes i just get so tired of fighting. Sometimes I just want someone to take care of me…

You are comfortably settled in bed, iPad on your knees, enjoying an old episode of a random variety show you like, just to pass the time. Jihoon alluded to an early end to his day when he left this morning, soft kiss to your forehead urging you to fall back asleep. So you stay up, unable to contain your excitement mixed with dread at the idea of disappointing yourself for expecting your own partner to be home by 5:30pm, like many of your friends do every day. 
It is exactly 20:34pm when the happy sound of the smart lock at the front door alerts you to your much expected guest’s arrival. Kicking the blanket in elation, you choose to keep watching your show, just to pretend this is a normal occurrence. The melody of Jihoon’s sing-song greeting reaches the bedroom, from which you reply, guiding him to you like a bird signalling their presence to their mate. When he comes in, he looks tired, but his smile is sincere. 
“My oh my, home before nightfall!” you play your part well, and he giggles. He puts his bag down on the small chair by the window before pulling out a fresh pair of sweatpants from the chest of drawers by the door. He makes a quick stop by the bed, pecking your cheek with an enthusiastic hum, and leaves for the adjacent bathroom. He leaves every door open, as you have taken the habit of doing, to keep conversations flowing while you go about your own activities. His voice echoes slightly as he enquires, “how was your day?” You turn the volume of your show down, half watching, half wishing Jihoon would get ready for bed quick so you could enjoy his company before he inevitably falls asleep, exhausted. “Same old,” you answer with a sigh. You tell him about grocery shopping, bumping into a neighbour, the latest friend group gossip before sheepishly confessing your excitement. “I spent the day hoping you’d really come home before bedtime, so I feel like it’s my birthday.” He appears at the door, massaging face cream into his skin. “Congratulations, birthday girl. Can’t say I never do anything for you!” He turns back to the bathroom, and you hear the water running, surely washing excess product off his fingertips. Gorgeous, long fingers that so delicately run along your arms and thighs when the mood strikes him. He seems happy and giggly enough to try and get these fingers where they haven’t touched you in a long while tonight. 
“You’re in a good mood. Had a nice day?” 
“Yeah. We got lots done at the studio, and then we got to wrap up practice quickly. I had to promise Soonyoung he could come over for dinner later this week though, he was dead set on inviting himself tonight. I told him we could buy chicken breast and cook it together Saturday, but now I’m thinking we might have plans for Saturday already.” He takes his toothbrush, applies a generous amount of paste and starts brushing vigorously. 
“He could have come over tonight, why didn’t you bring him back with you?” You turn off the show then, furrowed brows questioning this rare occurrence: has Jihoon ever refused Soonyoung’s self-invitations since you moved in together about two years ago? Did he mistakenly assume you’d had enough of their shenanigans last time, when you had retreated to your room early to nurse a headache that had nothing to do with the two loud men? 
Your boyfriend appears once again, leaning against the door frame, still brushing his teeth. His nose scrunches up as if he were about to let you in on a secret. “I wanted to spend time alone with you,” you interpret from his compromised enunciation. A smile blooms on your face. 
“Lee Jihoon, are you flirting with me?!” You laugh as he rolls his eyes playfully, turns one last time to the bathroom to rinse the paste out of his mouth. As he finds his way to your shared bed, you put the iPad away and lay on your side, facing him. He mirrors your position, hands gathered by his cheek, all squished up onto his pillow. 
“Hey,” you let out, less teasing and more quiet than you intended.
“Hey,” he whispers, eyes and smile softened by your proximity. “I don’t spend nearly enough time in this bed. This mattress was so expensive!”
You roll on your back, “I know! We chose it specifically for your comfort and I’m the only one enjoying it. Don’t just sleep when you’re dead!” The eyes trained on you close in amusement as Jihoon lets out a surprised laugh. He starts telling you more absurd stories of pointless purchases by his coworkers (like Chan’s huge leather chair that comes with ten different massaging programmes, none of which he has ever tried) and you laugh together, rolling on your side again, gasping for air, foreheads touching. As your laughter dies down, you refrain from admitting that chatting with your boyfriend is your favourite thing, because you are committed to pretending he’s home like this with you every evening. Acting like a normal couple anytime you have the chance, creating these memories to hold onto when he’s away—this is your silent agreement.
So when he closes his eyes and wraps his arm around your waist, hand under your t-shirt, you know he’s breathing it all in, committing the scene to memory: the dimming light of the summer sunset, the faraway sound of cars across the neighbourhood, the song of birds in the trees surrounding your building, your soft breath against his cheek, the smell of your hand cream as your hands find purchase on his baggy t-shirt, the goosebumps on your back as he draws circles on your skin, the relaxed and blissful atmosphere of a cosy home built over the past twenty-four months on the foundation of your loving, respectful and patient relationship, six years in the making. He is home, because he trusts you with the safekeeping of your shared space while he’s too busy and away to make the place his own. The peaceful smile that illuminates his face tells you so.

HAHAHA! I’M EARLY THIS TIME! Anyways, before you read: This is your warning about how in this chapter there’s mentions of child abuse, blood, death and scientific experiments on a child. You have been warned.
Ao3 Link: Chapter below cut for those who read it here on tumblr: https://archiveofourown.org/works/32206135/chapters/84899077
The walk home from school was dull as always, walking along the grey path, connected to a grey street, little color in the world. Despite being only six years old, Desdemona had many responsibilities, especially after their soul fully developed. 
The routine was simple: walk home, get homework done, change clothing, get a snack, curl up on the couch with the snack, a blanket, and their favorite doll until their dad got home. Usually on Thursdays like this, Desdemona feared when their dad would get home because he would yell at them and have them turn off the tv and get in the car. This new addition only started when their mom disappeared. One day, at 3:20 when she was meant to get home, she didn’t show up. It wasn’t Des’s fault, they were only a child and their soul wasn’t even fully developed, they were only wondering what if’s, it shouldn’t be their fault that it became real. 
No matter, they had other worries. They didn’t have any homework so they went straight up to their room, changing out of the light blue and white uniform shirt and white shorts into a comfortable black and white striped t-shirt and brown overalls instead. They grabbed a blanket and pink axolotl doll from their bed and went downstairs again. Before going into the living room, they popped into the kitchen and grabbed a bag of cheese puffs from the pantry that were hidden away at their height so their father couldn’t confiscate it. There weren't many of the puffs left so they took the bag with them. They went to the living room and climbed onto the grey couch, covering themself and their plushie with the blanket. They grabbed the discarded remote and turned on the tv, pressing random numbers until they got to the cartoon channel. 
Seconds turned to minutes, minutes turned to an hour, and the front door slammed open as the episode faded to black. 
“Turn that tv off right now! Get up and get in the car, traffic was held up enough already!” The tall man who entered had yelled. Desdemona hated their father on Thursdays, he was always so mean and would only let Desdemona eat stale animal crackers that tasted both bland and too sweet. Regardless, the child slid off the couch and went to the door, putting on some boots and grabbing their father’s hand to be led to the car.
They were set in a booster seat and buckled in with the stupid animal crackers and doll. Their father slammed the door shut and got in the drivers spot, driving off down the road to their destination. 
Roughly twenty minutes had gone by when the car stopped outside of a large grey building located along a dirt path. Desdemona dreaded this place, there were no good people there, only mean men in big white coats. The place was bland and basically greyscale, no pictures or paintings anywhere, it was like a prison. Desdemona’s father led them to a room with only a bed, a few chairs, some counters and cabinets. Without instructions, Des hopped on the bed and waited, swinging their legs while their father sat in one of the folding chairs in the corner of the room. The child held their plushie tightly, letting their dirty blonde hair fall in front of their face, hearing only their father wishing for a normal child before three of the mean men in white coats came in and began their tests.
~~~
Souls develop in a human by the age of five, beforehand their souls are usually white, empty and still developing their traits. For Desdemona, their soul didn’t develop correctly, and by the time the trait showed itself, it was too late to guide their soul differently. It was malformed and full of hate and malice, the only things they were shown before, not an ounce of KINDNESS was present in soul tests, the only trait that had developed into a positive range was DETERMINATION, and even then, it was very weak, and couldn’t manage being the dominant trait on it’s own. 
It was very rare for souls to be malformed, and even rarer to have all but one trait be malformed. Oddities like these seem to be caused from one parent having a malformed trait, which in Desdemona’s case, could be their father having malformed kindness, after all, he was a “businessman”. It could be possible for a soul to be malformed in another way, where all the traits exceed limits, the soul exhibits all traits to an extreme and displays all the traits equally among the heart. But this has only remained speculation. 
~~~ “Des, wake up.” They heard their father say. There wasn’t a clock in the room, but even then, they knew it had been at least five hours since the doctors gave them the medication that put them to sleep. Desdemona sat up and saw their soul was exposed, it was black and inky, with a little dot of red on the side where a doctor most likely had injected raw determination into their soul to make it normal. 
“Sorry dad, I’ll be better…” The child weakly said.
“Listen Des, I know you hate me, I’m just still upset about what you did to your mother.”
“I didn’t do anything! It’s not my fault!” Desdemona cried. Their dad sighed and picked them up and carried them to the car, putting them into their seat before settling into his own and beginning the drive home. 
“We’re having mac and cheese again, and I want you to behave tomorrow and remember…”
“No showing my soul to anyone.”
“And if someone asks?”
“Say it’s determination and dodge other questions...”
“Good, sorry the tests ran a bit late, your soul is just needlessly complicated.” 
The drive was boring as always, the sky was illuminated with the end of a sunset, but it wasn’t anything. Des fell asleep in their seat, only waking up when the car drove over a bump that jolted the end of it. 
Tomorrow is another day.
~~~
Stepping onto the schoolyard was a chore, it was tedious, unnecessary, the educational systems flawed anyway, and yet it is still done because in our minds we believe that we would not make it anywhere without wasting time here. Desdemona wished they could just stay at home and learn from the internet where they only learn what’s necessary for a future career.
But, no, the elder gods demanded that all children (which is all people under 18) are required to attend hell to understand what awaits them if they step out of line. Unfortunately Desdemona was not one of the “gifted” ones that were made to believe that they were smart when in reality it’s just a facade to let the parents know which kid needs therapy before 16. 
In reality, Desdemona was just standing paralyzed at the school gates, knowing nothing excited them. They were tired, full of hatred, and bored. They looked around, seeing all the happy friends playing chase and other games, no one was alone, this saddened the blonde child at the gate. Until a new face appeared next to them.
“Hi! Who are you?! Names [REDACTED]! What’s yours?!” A boy excitedly spoke. Desdemona stared at the white-haired boy, stunned. Someone wanted to talk to me?
"My name is Des...Desdemona."
"That's a cool name! Say friend, what's your soul trait? Mine's determination!" The boy continued to speak. Desdemona stared at [REDACTED] before answering.
"Determination...at least I think…"
"Well can I see?" Before Des could say no, the teacher came out and called the kids inside for class time. "Hey, we'll talk after class ok? Bye friend!" And the boy left. He was always interesting.
~~~
The school day was done in an instant, and Desdemona found themself walking back home. The clouds greying above, making the air cold and damp.
"Desdemona! You should wait here until your father can get you! It's going to be a downpour!" They heard the teacher cry. They were only a little out of the gate, so it probably was best to listen. They walked back to the roofed area that the teacher was under, along with their new friend [REDACTED]. "I'll call your dads, do you mind waiting here?"
Two shakes of the kids heads and she left.
"Hi Dessie! Can I see your soul now?" Desdemona's new friend asked. They were conflicted, but ultimately, they trusted [REDACTED]. They pressed and hand against their own chest and out popped the pitch black soul. "Wow! I haven't seen a soul like that before!"
"My dad doesn't like me showing my soul…" 
"It's cool though! Don't feel bad!" The comment made Des smile, it was great to have a friend that accepts their oddities. The two talked about all sorts of child nonsense afterwards. About ten minutes had passed when the teacher came back out, her face was one of distress.
"Desdemona, your father will be here shortly, [REDACTED], I'll walk you to where your mother is, ok?" The kids nodded. They waited a few minutes until a car pulled up and out stepped Desdemona’s father carrying an open umbrella.
“C’mon Des, I have to take care of paperwork before eight.”
“Dad! Can my friend come over? Please?” The blonde child asked, running up to their father.
“What?! N-...fine, whatever keeps you happy, but you know the rules. Ma’am, is that ok?” The grown man asked, directing his attention to the teacher.
“Well, I would have to inform [REDACTED]’s mother, but if she agrees, then it’s fine.” The teacher responded. Desdemona smiled and ran back to give [REDACTED] a hug while the teacher pulled out her phone again. 
~~~
The ride home wasn’t dull for once, this time, it was fun! Desdemona and their friend sat and chatted the whole time, talking about the most random of things. When they finally got home, Des bolted upstairs to change into their usual after school clothes as fast as they could so they could get back to their friend. They could talk and play for the rest of their short lives the whole night! It was so much fun, and it was only sunset when Des’s father said that [REDACTED] had to get ready to go home. 
“Des, can I ask you something?” Their father asked, leading them to the kitchen while their friend was packing their bag still. 
“Sure!” They had left the kitchen and went to the empty backyard with only a tree and some bushes. 
“When did you think you could keep it a secret that you showed your friend your soul?” Des choked at the sentence. 
“Father, I’m sorry, he didn’t tell anyone and no one else saw!” The child spoke, tears forming in their dark eyes.
“Well that’s where you’re wrong, as your teacher saw and informed me when she called to ask if I could come to pick you up.”
“Dad! I’m sorry! I’ll be better! I can make it up to you!”
“Too late, Desdemona.”
~~~
When [REDACTED] finished packing his bag, he slung it over his shoulder and looked around, not seeing their friend at all. 
“Hey Dessie?! Where are you?!” He asked to the open room. I should investigate! And off he went, looking around in every room for their friend, he never saw them leave so who knows where they went! Only after going downstairs again and seeing his friend’s father walk into the kitchen from the backdoor with red hands, did [REDACTED] figure out where their friend was. 
Into the back yard he went! Only after sneaking by Des’s father and opening the slightly ajar door, did his smile and his heart sank. There, laying on the ground in front of the willow tree, was Desdemona, unmoving, and in a puddle of a dark red liquid. [REDACTED] rushed over to kneel in front of their now deceased friend. 
“Dessie...please wake up, why won’t you wake up?!” He shouted while tears formed in his eyes. “Dessie! Please! You’re my only friend! Why can’t you wake up?!” He shook his friend’s body and noticed the black soul, shattered in half. The boy grabbed it and held it close. “Please wake up! Please wake up! Please wake up!” 
Then, the feeling of [REDACTED]’s skin being torn off in pieces hit, and he let out a sharp cry of pain. The shards of the black soul soared up and [REDACTED]’s red soul was drawn out. “I need you to wake up!”
Silence…
The screaming had stopped, the black soul was absorbing new determination provided by the red one. [REDACTED] fell onto his side and let his eyelids grow heavy. 
The only other thing he could remember from that day were police sirens, an ambulance, and being paralyzed, forced to stare as his friend was covered in a white blanket, and carted off. 
~~~
That was the last of Desdemona, a child born with a destiny to die at the hands of a cruel father just because they had an imperfect soul.
Not even time remembers the life it took, the only one who could remember the blonde child was the one with their soul. The boy grew up on a quest to bring back their once friend, no matter how much their hate and death corrupted them.

Can you talk more abt ur fandoms ocs? I like your writing a lot and would like to know more abt em
Oh my goodness I’m 🥺🥺🥺🥺 you’re SO sweet thank you!
Well, I have quite a few and some have their own deeper lore stories that go with them. If you guys want more information on them, I can do separate posts on all of them. But Here they are! I’m so excited to share my babies with you!
More is under the cut. The Picrew I used is here.
Ikemen Revolution
Black Army Side
Corrin Fukui
Age: Appears to be in mid-early twenties
Hair: Brick white
Eyes: Blood Red
Height: 4′11
Any other Qualities:
Draconic features -- She’s literally a dragon but not by nature
Curved Opalescent Horns
Shimmery opalescent tail
Wings that also shimmer in the light
retractable?
Pointed ears
Easily frightened by loud noises and sudden movements
stunted growth
Hoards blankets and comfort items
writes in a journal every day 
its one luka got for her and she refuses to write in anything else. she pours her heart out on the pages, and all her memories
she had a brother! but he passed away because of the magic tower :(
turns into a gIANT DRAGON 
ICE ICE BREATH BABY
Was found by Luka while on a patrol near the forbidden forest, lost and afraid, so she was taken in
Had amnesia at first
She actually is an experiment of Amon and she managed to escape
Excellent at sewing and gardening
Sufficient with baking
She’s for Luka! The way they fell for each other was a slow, gradual trust, and mutual understanding. She saw him as a man, as he was, and nothing else.
Sometimes is called Corri
gentle hearted and innocent
but not as innocent as you’d think 
she’s a dragon, and she’s a greedy little one
Tumblr media
Ophelia Dae
Age: 24
Hair: Crimson red
Eyes: Jade green
Height: 5′8
Any other Qualities:
A skilled swordsman, and one of the Chosen Thirteen
9 of Spades baybeee
While she is more accustomed to short swords and sabers, Phelia is a magic user! But she isn’t really in agreement with Ray with his stance on magic
BOMBASTIC AS HELL
BISEXUAL
“Is he bothering you Queen?”
Trans
Was friends with Ray and Fenrir while in school, and was just as much of a hellraiser as them
she was there when the day things went dark happened and was almost taken but that day is a blur for her
phelia REFUSES to talk about it
she still has nightmares
raised by a single mother
TRIVIA! She was an old fire emblem oc i had and she was the daughter of Arvis -- so if you squint when she uses magic you’ll see Valflame
joined the army probably because Fenrir was too, and she was inspired by him 
she joined for her own reasons but he made it easier for her to do it too
his passion was what made her fall for him in the first place
has a personal vendetta against the magic tower for what they did to her and her friends
AND CORRIN JEEZ
will sacrifice herself if necessary to the cause
PROBABLY HAS ALMOST DIED BECAUSE OF IT
Bruh girl
Tumblr media
Amira Nasiri
Age: 22
Hair: Chocolate brown
Eyes: Turquoise blue
Height: 5′3
Any other qualities:
My version of Alice! Difference is that she’s Persian
That’s it
She’s just as spunky as Alice 
however she responds with being called Alice a little different
she’s adamant about being called Amira
At some point she just accepts Seth does it to distance himself
also an avid baker like alice
pISTACIOS
BAKLAVA
Amira is just Alice except she’s just my take on her. 
She has the same vibrant spirit as Alice
and I personally consider Seth the canon route for REASONS
just ask me why fjgdfgjksd
Tumblr media
Red Army Side
Azul Flores
Age: 25
Hair: Raven black
Eyes: Wisteria purple
Height: 5′0
Any Other Qualities:
An old friend of the Queen of Hearts
like she met him when she was 8 years old
fought his bullies when they would give him a hard time when he was a kid
they dated for a WHILE
did NOT work out
HARD CHILDHOOD
Ambitious, hard working young woman who was married into a high standing family on the Red side. Her mother was a teacher and gained the attention of one of the Chosen Thirteen on that side, and got married
Azul is NOT the officer’s daughter. She’s his step daughter
Has had extensive studies on the History of Cradle and of the Red Territory.
Wants to be a Cradle Historian
Works for the Red Army as a personal assistant to the queen
UNINTENTIONAL
THEY ACTUALLY CANT STAND EACH OTHER
Unless....
Look their story is very dramatic and it hurts me every day so please stay tuned with them. 
CUT THROAT BITCH
YOUR DEVIL
DEMON
Heckles Jonah like its her job — she knows him better than anyone elsd, if anyone knows his bs, its her
Bad resting bitch face

I’ll be updating this on Saturdays cause each section will only be around 1k. The story ended up waaaaay longer than I expected when my brain went, hey! throw in this crazy twist lol. 
The sudden feeling of the cool air in the train car against his arms stirs Natsu from a blissful sleep. He sits up and stretches with a yawn, letting his eyes sweep over the flashing list of stops coming up. There was only one more to go and that was awesome because soon enough he’ll be able to crawl into bed.
‘Wow,’ he thinks to himself, ‘I must be really tired.’ It wasn’t often he fell asleep on the train, and it was a good thing he’d woken up in time. Too bad he was having such a nice dream. It was the kind he hoped for when he had a solid 8 hours to enjoy; though rare as those times may be.
Being a full-time student while working part time was taxing, especially around mid-terms or finals. Hence the late-night train ride. But he was one of the lucky ones considering his workplace was flexible with students and their needs. Gramps, as they called him, was the old guy running the place. He enjoyed hiring young people because they made him feel younger. Whatever his reason, Gramps treated his employees like they were his own kids and Natsu always felt at home there.  
Oh, but the blonde in his dream was such a cutie! What was her name again... darn he couldn’t quite remember; maybe Suzy? He knows there’s a y in there somewhere but that was all his addled brain could register. It was such a silly dream too, of them vying for an open seat on the train. Natsu smirks as he remembers convincing the woman to sit on his lap. It was a valid point after all, to share a spot in the full car.
Ugh, her smile was infectious, and she had such a feisty personality! His mind was clearly working on overtime to come up with his perfect girl. He chuckles to himself. Perhaps her beauty had been so overwhelming, that was why he couldn’t remember her name. And the cute blush on her cheeks when his words grew flirty surprised even him. In real life being a flirt was really not in his DNA, and most of the time he resorted to comedy to deal with all the anxiety it induced.
‘Man! I hope I dream about her again!’ He groans in his head. Even the warmth he felt in the dream chased away the chill of the air conditioning in the train. That had to be some amazing chemistry to pull off such a physical reaction.
Though it was odd to Natsu that he’d manifested a woman he’d never met before as far as he knew. Was she a customer at the store or maybe another student he’s seen in passing? If that was the case, Natsu wanted to slap himself for not noticing them sooner!
By the time Natsu reaches the apartment he shares with his friend Gray Fullbuster, the hour was pushing 11pm. His roommate was already holed up in his own room and probably asleep. So, he takes a quick shower then retreats to his room too. Thank goodness, not having an early morning class meant he could catch some extra zzz’s or get a couple of hours in working on an assignment.
Natsu throws himself backwards onto the comfortable bed and closes his eyes. He stares at the darkness behind those lids like a movie screen waiting for the conductor to turn on the reel. Come on, he wills himself, show me blondie again. He digs into his memory banks, hoping if he falls asleep with her image in his mind, it’ll cue the dream reel to play again.
Her golden blonde hair shined like a Tuscan sunset. It was neatly pulled back in a high ponytail, with a few tendrils falling loose near her face. They framed her milky smooth skin and highlighted the large chocolate brown eyes that twinkled when he made her flustered. She was a full-figured gal, busty and them hips... oh those hips were just perfection.
Call it what you will, a male lush, but he liked a little meat on their bones. Girls who were all straight up and down weren’t as appealing to him. Pretty, just not his taste. But that wasn’t the only thing he wanted in a woman. They had to have some smarts too, and judging from her book bag, Suzy or whatever was a fellow college student like him. Check more points off the list.
Kami help him this dream girl really was his dream woman!
Who was this mysterious blonde who’d found her way into his dream? Speaking of which, was one of the most vivid ones he’s ever had in his life. Her voice. Her scent. The warmth of her body as he hugged her. It all was so clear to Natsu even an hour later.
But it had to be a dream, right? Seriously, in what reality would a stranger ever let a man hug onto them? Yet she never made a move to push him away or appear uncomfortable. Quite the opposite. If Natsu was remembering the dream correctly, the blonde relaxed after he’d wrapped his arms around her waist.
He certainly felt comfortable with her too, and his intuition never did him wrong yet. Of course, being that this was his dream to direct, it shouldn’t surprise him the blonde was so perfect in every possible way. Kudos to his production team for writing such a magnificent script. His only complaint being, SHE WASN’T REAL!
Natsu let’s out a chuckling yawn just as his focus starts to dim and his exhaustion catches up.
A stranger on a train, huh? This was one story he’ll just keep to himself for now. Because knowing Gray, if he told his roommate about some perfect woman in a dream, the guy would tease him mercilessly. Whatever lucky stars he’d wished upon to receive this dream girl, he could only hope they’d bless him with a reoccurring role.

Has wine aunt energy. 5’4, 200lbs PLUS SIZE QUEEN, Scorpio, age 18, Filipino (her parents are immigrants fun fact!), really olive skin sometimes has a grey/green tinge to it, dark brown almost black shoulder length hair, gold-hazel eyes. Sam’s the victim of a family curse that requires her to consume human hearts to survive, she can transform into a pretty scary looking being and uses this curse to hunt down pedoph*les, r*pists, murderers, and abusers. The less often she feeds the less human she looks, hence the constant grey/green tinge to her skin.

Runaway
Tumblr media
Jimin x Reader AU
Summary- Runaway *txt voice* . Jimin is a wandering time traveler meeting people from all times and breaking hearts all the same.
A/N- I’m going through a list of prompts, so here’s the first one shot  just dumb fluff and a mild plot. I hope you guys like it and if not tell me. Anyways I’m back and in quarantine/shelter in place so might as well write again. I love getting request and DMs. I hope you all stay safe and healthy 
Word Count- 2k+
Warnings-none (cursing?)
3/19/20 
Chapter One 
“Give me something different from the world.” you laid your back on the chair holding on to the table and pushing back. Three papers due the next morning and you were drained of all the energy you didn’t know you possessed. How in the world were you going to do this again and again for the next four years in college. You thought your days of studying were gonna be over after high school, but how naive you were. Movie after movie told you that college would be a fun time to drink and party but the only party you went to was for orientation. Luckily you had gotten your own dorm away from any distractions and which you thought now may be the reason for your isolation. “I wish something could happen out of the ordinary.” You were well aware that you were foreshadowing something or at least hoped you were. Manifestation was said to work and at this point your level of procrastination allowed for you to be slightly delusional.
Park Jimin was a born time traveler. He wasn’t ever in one place for more than a week in fear of disrupting his timeline. He also wasn’t quite sure when he started wandering through time. If you asked him he might look away like he often did and tell you one day when he was little he wandered and found himself far away from his home. In reality Jimin doesn’t know much of his past, he tries to forget what he does remember and move on. When he sleeps on nights when the wind is cold and the clouds cry he can almost see his mother calling out for him. He will follow her voice until he is at the edge of the woods. When he’s lucky he can touch the trees and smell the soft scent of fall in the air, just as he begins to move to her he always wakes up. That night Jimin had seen her closer than he ever had and woke up in a thick sweat. He knew he had to leave the time he was in and move on. 
“Alright buddy, it's time for us to leave.” he hugged his small chick stuffed animal and put it in his pocket. The tavern was small and cramped, there were tapestries lining the wall and soft purple curtains covering the windows. The year was around fourteen hundred and he was in the royal court of one the kings of the time. It wasn't his first time posing as a noble and wouldn't be his last. He always left quietly and briskly in the night never saying goodbye. He was the lost lover of countless stories and lives but he never seemed to care. And so he opened the large door carved and shining in the dim light of the candle he held. In the hallway was the princess he had tricked into giving him a place to stay. He wasn’t heartless, and that’s why he always left in the cover of the dark.
“‪Jimin, what are you doing out this late?” Aurora was undoubtedly beautiful, he thought for sure the story “sleeping beauty” must have been inspired by her. He felt bad for once seeing how much she had grown attached to him in his short time in her court. 
“I- can’t stay?” It was as if he was asking a question to her hoping it was a good enough excuse.
“Please don’t go.” Her sweet soft eyes were watering and he could almost touch her pain in the air. “I love you.”
“I’m sorry. I need to start my life over.” He wasn’t lying 
“No please,” she ran over to him holding his hand in hers. “Stay here, we can make it all work.” Jimin looked down at her and felt guilty. He had led her on and given her an escape from the marriage she was bound to. 
“Please I just need to get something, I’ll be back.” She knew in her heart he was lying. She wasn’t foolish, she was smart and educated. And still she followed along with his clear lie.
“I will love you till the end of time, I would wait a million years, say you’ll remember?”
With that Jimin let go of her hand and gave her a small peck on the cheek. “I will.”
He had to admit he wasn’t expecting that and he would remember that. He walked out the hallway and outside letting the rain encompass him and let his mind take him.
Three am was when you finished all the papers. You were so tired you could almost cry. It was pouring outside which meant in four hours when you had to leave for class you would need an umbrella and of course you didn’t have one of those. The skin care routine could wait tonight and you shut off all the lights and finally laid back in your bed. Just as your eyes closed you heard water fall on your floor.
“What the fuck” you whispered being angry you had a mess to clean. “Why do I always leave shit on the ledges where they can fall?” You turned on your lamp sitting up. You rubbed your eyes and turned around. First you saw shoes, old ones at that, and then you realized said shoes had legs attached to them. You closed your eyes and said a small prayer in your mind hoping they’d be gone when you opened your eyes.
And then you screamed.
Jimin planted his feet on a hardwood surface. He knew he had to be in more modern times by the cool air in the room. He let out a nice calm sigh and then he noticed the lights turn on and a girl scream. “Fuck, Fuck,” he ran over to cover your mouth “shhhhhh, calm down” 
With the stranger's hand on your mouth you began to cry and bit him. “What do you want? How the fuck did you get in here? Please don’t kill me, I’m too young to die.” Jimin let out a Yelp at your attack.
“Jesus, I’m not here to kill you. And if you wouldn’t mind I’d love to leave.” He turned around and headed for the door.
“Stop,” you called out grabbing your phone. “Why are you in my room?” 
“Trust me I didn’t mean to be here.” He turned around facing you. To be completely shallow for a moment you were taken aback by his looks. He looked unreal, handsome and beautiful all at once. 
“Then why are you?” You stood up still holding your phone in case you needed to call for help, as beautiful as he may be it didn’t mean he wasn’t a serial killer.
“You don’t want to know.” Jimin was feeling reckless and sad. He didn’t need another connection and his judgment was clouded by his encounter.
“Tell me or else I’m just gonna call the cops.” 
“You want the truth?” He asked, raising his voice slightly making you pull back a little, gripping your phone tighter.
“I want to know why the fuck there is a stranger in my dorm, so yeah I do.” 
“You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you the truth.” He looked like a prince in his dated attire, you didn’t know if you were creeped out or intrigued.
“Why do you look like you stepped out of a painting” Jimin looked down at his soaked puffy sleeve.
“I guess I almost did,” he chuckled. “What would you say if I told you I’m not from here. Better what would you think if I’m not from this time or any time?” He stepped closer to you 
“I would ask what you were on and if I could have some of whatever it was.” You felt safe, this made you feel delusional and stupid but there you were sitting back on your bed.
“Nothing. I’m on nothing.” It made Jimin more sad confirming that no one would believe him.
“Yeah I think this is a dream, nice and all. Must I say my mind really does create beautiful people.” You pulled the covers over your head and closed your eyes.
“What’s your name anyways?” You asked mentally check out.
“Jimin, my name's Jimin.” He walked closer to you taking in your features. You seemed so peaceful. 
“I got to say this is some crackhead sleep paralysis demon, ain’t nobody doing it like me. My name is y/n Jimin you can spend the night my dear sleep paralysis demon.”
Jimin laughed and laid down on the floor still wet. He soon fell asleep to the sounds of you snoring. 
You didn’t set your alarm and so you slept until nine. You woke up and rubbed your eyes sitting up and letting out a long yawn. Cracking your knuckles and moving your feet to the ground. 
Jimin woke up to the ear breaking sound of your scream.
“Who the fuck are you?” You were holding your lamp as if it were a bat. “Get the fuck out.”
“Aish, Jesus it’s too early for this.” Jimin stood up grabbing his bag and heading for the door. He put his hand on the knob and turned around. “I told you, you wouldn’t believe me.” And with that he walked out the door. 
You put on your glasses and put down the lamp. Your mind was going a mile a minute wondering what had possessed you not to call the police. You put on a sweater and ran after the man that was just in your room. 
Jimin pressed the elevator button. Admittedly it had been a long night and he had to figure out where he was and more importantly where he was gonna stay. It was ten times harder to fly under the radar in the future. There were cameras and events everywhere. He couldn’t be in two photos at once. He felt your hand on his wrist and turned around.
“Who are you.” You looked deep into his eyes looking for an answer. “Tell me why you came to me and don’t just leave.”
“I already told you.” He put his other hand on your shoulder.
“You’re not some bullshit time traveler.” You let go of his wrist breaking the moment.
“I am.” The elevator opened and he stepped in, pressing lobby. The doors began to close and just as he thought he finished with you, your hand stopped the doors. You walked in.
The doors closed and he let out a long sigh.
“So you can travel time.”
“It’s almost like I told you this.” he snapped back
“Damn, okay. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.”
“That someone had someone's feet in their face. And someone screams at them again. So yeah someones a little pissed.”
“Say someone again.”
“Someone.”
You were so ready to get out of the swing of things that you could stupidly befriend your intruder. A pretty twisted Stockholm syndrome in the making.  The doors of the elevator opened and Jimin went in front of you.
“What do you want from me?” he asked more frankly than you thought he should’ve.
“Hey, I’m the one asking questions here. I didn’t sneak into someone's house last night and then claim to be a time traveler.”
“Say someone again.”
“Someone- wait no don’t distract me.”
“I don’t want you to follow me around. God are you stupid?” he speed walked forward leaving you a couple feet behind before you.
“Whatever, lier you can be all alone in your schizophrenic delusion.” 
Jimin turned around. He didn’t know what it was about your statement that triggered something in him. He had nothing to prove to you or anyone for that matter. But in that moment he needed you to know he wasn’t a liar. Maybe it was the fact that he had never told anyone before and after having it fall out yesterday the last thing he wanted was someone telling him what he was saying was fake. 
“I’m not a liar.” he whispered. He walked back to where you were standing staring you down. 
“Prove it crazy.” 
Jimin grabbed your arm and all you saw was black. It must have been less than a second but you felt suspended in the air for an indescribable time. 
“Do you believe me now?” Jimin gave you a devilish smile motioning to your surroundings. 
“How in the fuck- I where- Bro- bring me back-” he covered your mouth and shuttled  you into a corner.
“Shh y/n. You’re gonna ruin someone's life if you’re not careful.”
Why did he sound excited?
A/N- if you’re reading this that means you read it all. Thanks :)

Cerebus #16 (1980)
Tumblr media
Cerebus is going up the stairs while Lord Julius is going down them. In the same direction.
Cerebus is often touted as the greatest independent comic book of all time (for various reasons) but I'd like to point out that Elfquest told an incredible story with beautiful art in just 20 issues as opposed to 300. Plus it had an elf orgy. Also, I know it continued on after the first 20 issue story arc but we can ignore the rest of the story because there was never another elf orgy and also the rest of the series concentrated too much on Skywise's fear of dying which was totally valid but was often used as a foil to make Cutter seem braver and more loyal to his wolf roots but really just showed he was stubborn and dumb and totally didn't fuck as many elf maidens as Skywise did. Cerebus does have some sex in his comic book but since the first sex he has is when he rapes Astoria, I don't think anybody was really clamoring for any more of that. I mean, sure, some people were! I didn't mean to erase the sickos and perverts out there. Sorry, jerks! I'm sure the "A Note from the Publisher" bit by Deni seemed like a good idea when starting out on a harrowing self-publishing journey like that of Cerebus. But it quickly became a space where Deni just says, "Self-publishing is fraught with hardships and also this is a really good issue! I won't spoil it! Goodbye!" I won't be sad to see the divorce happen! That's an okay thing to say because it already happened, right? It's not like my wishing for the end of their marriage in 2020 somehow brought about the end of their marriage in the early 80s. Is it? I never took a college course on cause and effect so who the fuck knows? Unless that Critical Literary Theory class was about that?! Oh my God! I think I understand it now! Dave's finale to the "Swords of Cerebus" essay that has been broken up over the last three issues describes how he was consciously drawing the Eye of the Pyramid cult leader's gigantic penis while drawing the snake. Sorry to report, though, that he's being sarcastic. Apparently Dave is above using phallic imagery to make a point about patriarchal themes. Only fucking hacks do shit like that! Take that, whoever wrote fucking Beowulf!
Tumblr media
Even if Sim can't see the humor in everybody assuming he made a giant snake dick joke on purpose, he can still be extraordinarily funny with the least of materials.
This issue takes Cerebus to his first fancy dress party (that's a costume party for all of you people who aren't British (which is also me but only because I was born a citizen of the United States of America who didn't have a choice but knew it was a huge mistake as I was learning about Monty Python's Flying Circus and Dave Allen at Large in elementary school and The Young Ones in junior high and Red Dwarf in college)). Cerebus changes out of his vest and puts on his costume: a furry black jumper (that's sweater for all of you people who aren't British (which is also me but only because I was forced to watch mostly American popular entertainment until the advent of YouTube and now I mostly just watch Taskmaster over and over (by the way, is Taskmaster as good for people who don't know all of the "contestants" or do I enjoy it more because I recognize and like almost all of the people on the show?)). Lord Julius is dressed as an, um, a, uh, Estarcion matador? I have no context in which to guess what he is.
Tumblr media
Certain people like Cerebus because he says what's on his mind. I purposefully used the passive voice here so you can't prove one of those people is me.
Lord Julius has a follow-up joke that leaves the reader thinking, "I guess all Pavrovians are fat?" That's Dave Sim continuing his work on Estarcion continuity! Remember how Pavrovians are the, um, you knows of Estarcion! You know the nationality I'm thinking of! The ones that are all the things people usually find insulting! Come on, you know who I'm talking about. The dumb fat arrogant stupid naive gullible ones! Yes, that's it! Americans! Try to remember Dave is Canadian. You have to think of Americans through Canadian eyes (which are the equivalent of smart, cynical Americans)! E'lass and Turg have gotten tickets to The Festival of Petunias so they can steal the Wyndmel Diamond. They're the duo composed of a giant muscular man and a little bitty shrimpy guy who last encountered (and were beaten by) Cerebus in Issue #6. E'lass is dressed like some kind of small dirt dwelling creature so I hope Cerebus gets offended by his costume and stabs him in the throat. There isn't enough random slaughter in this book about barbarians.
Tumblr media
I haven't wanted to fuck a fish this badly since The Littler Mermaid.
I suppose I could have said "since Splash" in that last caption to seem more normal and less perverted but then you'd know I was lying. The assassins make a move on Lord Julius but Cerebus comes up with a plan to stop them that involves inducing the Palnu elite to throw herring-and-onion dip at them. Is that a parodied scene from Duck Soup or Conan the Barbarian? In the confusion, the lead assassin slips out through a secret door and E'lass, having just stolen the diamond and becoming increasingly paranoid that somebody saw him, slips through it as well. Cerebus and Lord Julius follow, having noticed the assassin but not E'lass. Most of the pursuit's tension comes from E'lass believing Cerebus remembers him and is now going to use the excuse of this new crime to murder him. It's more tense than I've even described because I really need Cerebus to murder somebody in this Swords & Sorcery book already. Reading this book waiting for a murder is like firing up a porn video on your laptop with your dick in your hands and realizing after five minutes that the video is almost over and was just a teaser for a pay porn site. Cerebus threatens to quit his job just before battling the assassin so he can negotiate a term of 8 bags of gold and a horse in exchange for killing the assassin as a pension before he goes. Julius agrees and Cerebus takes out the assassin with a rock to the head. I mean, I guess it's a murder so yay? But I was really hoping for some stabbing. Meanwhile E'lass lives through the cliché of the criminal whose paranoia gets the better of him and he tosses the diamond into a huge pit so he doesn't get caught only to discover that they never knew he took it anyway. Everything is wrapped up quickly and thoroughly with Cerebus given money and motivation to move on from Palnu. Dave complained about his heavy use of cliché in this Palnu trilogy and I have to say I agree with Dave. But I only agree with Dave on this point! Don't take that out of context and start raving on Twitter that Grunion Guy agrees with Dave's Issue #186 rant about girlfriends being illogical which is also secretly a rant about a guy who needs to get laid so badly he puts up with partners he probably wouldn't even be friends with and then finally just decides orgasms are evil and religion is super awesome but only if you smash all three People of The Book religions into one bland mash paste of ancient dogma. In the epilogue, Lord Julius receives a letter from his niece Jaka in which she expresses delight in possibly seeing Cerebus again. I guess Dave learned from Howard the Duck that comic book nerds really love for their anthropomorphic heroes to be fucking statuesque women. Perhaps every guy develops a fetish of being with a woman whose breasts are at head level due to being hugged constantly by their female relatives when they're ten years old. Deni's brother Michael's first installment of the "Aardvarkian Age" essays appears in this issue. It gives more details to the various nations of Estarcion and their inhabitants' culture, ruling styles, and brutality of their armies. I thought I'd be more interested in this than I actually wound up being. Maybe I thought it would be funnier? Instead, it's just a bunch of facts about made-up kingdoms to make them sound more believable by making them more like European countries in the Middle Ages. If this entire bit were just lifted from a history of Europe with the names of actual countries replaced by Estarcion countries, I wouldn't even notice. Mostly because I know nothing about European history. As I've always said, "Those who know about European history are doomed to repeat it, boring every single other person at the cocktail party." Dave apologizes for the quarter price increase of the comic book in the Aardvark Comments pages. Why, I hadn't even noticed! Probably because this is the Biweekly reprint issue and I purchased it as a collection off of eBay. Some people write in and discuss how Cerebus is a very fine and funny comic book. I nodded along in agreement as I read the letters. I only touched my private area twice while reading and neither time was for pleasure. The most surprising thing about "The Single Page" is that it clearly states who the comic was authored by: Kent Featherly. I don't know why so many of these single page comics aren't more clearly labeled. Isn't part of the reason for having them exposure for the artists drawing and writing them?! Not putting an effort to let a large audience know who you are and how they can read more of your work just sounds like something I would do. By the way, you should play this game I wrote, Starship Troopers: The Game. You can find it on the hard drive of my laptop. Cerebus #16 Rating: B. Look, it was funny and well drawn and all that. But even Dave said it relied too heavily on cliché plot devices. I've got to lower the grade when even the author points out some of the story's flaws! And I'd probably have come to the same conclusion without having been influenced by Dave Sim because I'm like the best Internet comic book critic who isn't a critic and isn't actually reviewing comic books. Also I almost forgot this evidence: I'm a Grandmaster Comic Book Reviewer! Nobody else can make that claim and if they do, they're plagiarizing me and I'd like you to point them out to me so I can send them a threatening email in which I pretend to be my own lawyer who is really good at suing dumb-dumbs.

pages | graham&quintin
Summary: Quintin falls asleep at a library while studying and working, and figures out that his notes are once again infested with Bookwryms. Upset, tired, and pouting, Graham endures the lure of such a sight, and the two share deep insight into science, taboo, and moral issues in q’s area of study while separating the pages. @grahamstoker
Quintin had fallen asleep at a random book store, his nose plopped in a book and one arm stretched out. He needed just a little more information on a chemical compound to react with salt involving dissolving things, and he had worn himself out. Quintin was in trouble often for getting himself to the point of sheer exhaustion, but he couldn’t help it. When an idea got in his head he grinded until some answer presented. Losing track of time, meals, and water. He knew it wasn’t the best, but he was lucky to be a warden. Snoring lightly, the book clerk was staying open late anyway, so they cleaned up and let the young looking college kid snooze for a few moments. 
College kids weren’t the only people out and about; Graham also had a brief conversation with the clerk regarding books as he entered some odd minutes before the store closed and the clerk agreed to stay open just a little longer for him to pick up what he was looking for… except that he wasn’t looking for anything in particular. He wandered through the store - fortunately, it wasn’t that big - and he found himself in the central area where a few tables and chairs were gathered for students, bored geriatrics, etc. His strong gaze fell upon the sleeping figure of a boy, probably no more than… he wanted to say early 20s and he walked over to the kid, placing a hand on his shoulder to stir him. “Hey kid,” He said clearly but not aggressively. “You’d be comfier in bed, I think.” He wasn’t sure why he cared but the store WAS closing and he WAS getting his condensation on the book’s pages and that thought weirded him out.
Quintin stirred away groggily, and blinked a few times trying to figure out where he was. “What?” He looked around the room and stretched his limbs forward almost like a cat. “Darn, I should go. Thanks--” Finally he looked up and felt embarrassed it wasn’t the clerk who stirred him from his slumber but likely another customer. “Oh, sorry-- heh, I get a bit caught up with reading sometimes,” Quintin started closing all the scientific books featuring various charts, graphs, and a few long essarys he was excited to dive into the theory of. “It’s late--” he started shoving everything into his backpack quite messily. “Did you find anything worthwhile?” he asked with a kind edge, curious even. “I love this store, always little gems here. Sometimes old things.”  “It happens, man,” Graham replied, removing his hand from the latter’s shoulder as he looked the younger man over, then the amount of materials he had splayed all over the table. Plentiful amount of information…. Just shoved into a backpack. What a waste. How disorganized. He kept from curling his lip and put his hands in his pockets after checking his familiar gold watch - it could be later but at least the sun wasn’t out anymore. “Uh, nnnno. No, not really.” He shrugged. “I only got here a few minutes before they technically closed though, so I didn’t spend a whole lotta time searching. I’m guessing you did, though,” He quirked an eyebrow at the book the younger man had fallen asleep on. The kid seemed like the studious type. Probably really smart at the expense of doing… normal human things.
“Really? Are you one of those types that likes to make the employee’s be nice to you when they want to close the store?” He grinned, teasing and far from being overly serious. Quintin grabbed the rest of his stuff, the books weighed in his hands comfortably. “Yes-- yes, I actually managed to find everything I needed. Luckily I can read a book once and remember most of it. It’s very helpful when writing a dissertation. It’s a bit of a chaotic mess, but it’s all very understandable.” Q paused, “Quintin by the way,” he offered, a sleepiness still in his eyes, and his body seemed almost squishy and round in the cheeks from just waking up. “Are you headed out now?” He waved to the clerk, having already paid for everything and started making his way out. “Oh, you know it,” Graham replied dryly with a half-smile of his own. “At least you found what you were looking for,” He noted more of the books. “An eidetic memory is a useful thing, indeed.” He nodded; that explained some of the kid’s general… -ness. And the ‘chaotic mess’ part. He gave the boy named ‘Quintin’ one more look over, pausing perhaps a little longer than he should’ve at the red cheek the boy was sleeping on and feeling his nostrils flare for just a fraction of a moment before he recovered and he nodded again in lieu of doing anything else, something different. “Graham,” He returned the name. “And… yeah. Since the store’s closing and all.” He paused in his dialogue for a moment, following behind the boy. “What are you writing a dissertation on?” He asked, finding himself curious.
“Hmmm, it’s pretty out there. But I’m working on something people sorta frowned on,” Q did not seem put off even with his mumbling. He pressed the books closer to his chest, walking with the other. “Do you have any opinions on building body parts in test tubes? Or utilizing tissue in ways to heal other people? Or developing a way for the body to accept foreign cells as their own through--” Quintin paused, wishing for once he could just say- by using monster parts when he explained his research. “Careful study.” He lamely finished, but masked it pretty well with a yawn hidden behind the books which only made his eyes more watery. “The frowned upon part is that I’m researching a way for a body to be brought back to what the scientific community labels as life. Whether it’s anything more than a few reawakened cells at the end of it-- well. We’ll see.” As they walked and as Quintin fell into a pseudo-ramble - well, maybe not so much as… morally-curious questions-- WELL, not even that. Graham didn’t think what he was asking was morally-curious until he suddenly stopped at his last question-- aaaaand he’s talking reanimation. Hmm… he realized this conversation would’ve bothered him a lot more before he himself turned into a reanimated corpse. He looked sideways at the younger man and offered a genuine, if clever, smile. “That’s on them. People oftentimes try to put ethics ahead of scientific progress.” He offered is own perspective. “If that’s a passion you have then it’s important to pursue that goal. I’m sure this town’s seen weirder shit than a reanimated something-or-other.” He decided to be vague on that front. “How long’ve you been in town?” He asked.
“They do,” Quintin agreed, “I’ve received a lot of backlash at UCLA over it. They were very conflicted, but I’m a progeny, one of the youngest to graduate. They wanted me to stay under their school so they could benefit from my work and so I didn’t go elsewhere.” Bitterness made his nose wrinkle as he walked up to his big pick up truck that made him appear like a little baby in comparison and leaned against it. “That’s why I’m here though. White Crest lets me think clearly. Reanimation is a fascinating area of study, people are just scared of what it means. All those people in cryo right now could honestly be reawakened in the future. They let them pay for a cold bed, but won’t let scientists work on the questions they are scared of.” He fished for his keys in his bag, realizing he was stupid and put them in there. “About three years, I travel a lot back to LA. Where are they--” he plopped on the ground, and started pulling everything back out of his bag. Setting the items carefully on the asphalt with much more care and organization, but a few of the papers floated away on him. “Crap! Can you grab those?” Very proud of his work and accomplishments. And humble, to boot. Talks a lot. Ahhh Graham remembered when he was like that. Graham found his hands in his pockets as the younger man talked, pausing next to the large truck and wondered what sort of compensating the kid was doing. Probably a lack of friends, if he had to guess. He looked from the truck to Quintin as the latter seemed to have been looking for something to the point of sitting on the ground to search the contents of his bag. When some of his papers started to float away, Graham simply watched them leave until Quintin asked him to retrieve them, to which he smacked his lips and rose his eyebrows. “Sure thing,” Graham said before adding “This might not’ve been a problem if you packed ‘em up right the first time, buddy.” He was lightly poking, of course, but he did feel like he was right. The papers were easy enough for him to get, putting them altogether neatly but as he examined them like the nosy guy he was, he felt his brow furrow. “Uhhh…” He said aloud as he walked back over to the younger man. “I got your papers but I don’t know why they’re such a big deal to you… don’t important papers usually have, I dunno, writing on them?”
“You are very right,” Quintin sighed, he had been embarrassed at the state he was in and hadn’t put thought into it. Finally, his fingers looped around the keys and pulled them out in victory. “Thank you--what?” Q’s voice faltered, and he scrambled up to meet Graham halfway, pulling the page into his hands. “No, no no no,” he frantically started flipping through all his stuff, noticing bits and pieces also faded. “Stupid bookstore--” Q knew what he needed to do, but he also didn’t want to ruin all his doctorate notes. This would put him behind having to rewrite everything from memory, not that it would be difficult to recall, just time consuming. This was what he got for bringing his stuff out of the lab. “Ouch!” he dropped the paper, and gritted his teeth. “Dammit! Stupid worms! Stupid!” He actually stomped his foot then plopped on the ground with his shoulders slumped and tried not to full on cry. His voice had a warble to it. “Sorry-- just,” he didn’t know how to explain this to anyone without sounding crazy, but he didn’t care right now. “I can’t leave yet, I have to sort my infested notes with the ones that aren’t.” Suddenly Graham had much less of an idea of what was going on than before as he watched the car crash in slow motion called ‘Quintin’ go from frustration to pain to looking like he was about to burst into tears like a child told they couldn’t get on the ferris wheel. Spectrum? That’d explain the ‘genius’ bit and the ‘unintentional know-it-all’ part. He put a hand back in his pocket and actively avoided looking at Quintin now, as if that would spare him some embarrassment. “Uh…” He paused for a second, not entirely knowing what to do but feeling like something mocking would be funny for him but not really appropriate. “So… there’s worms on your papers?” He decided to ask. “What, were they in your bag?”
“Worms that eat notes, words, knowledge. I thought I had them contained back at the lab, but-- guess I didn’t,” the dejected tone was full of self loathing to this particular failure. Quintin started separating each piece of paper in a stack that was at least eight inches high. Hoping everything wasn’t ruined. “They must have gotten really excited in that book store, and spread--” it wasn’t lost on Quintin that the other man was content with playing with his absurdity. People thought he was a mad scientist anyway, not that he liked when people thought that. Not when he worked so hard for their sake. He sighed. “You don’t have to wait around for me, this is awkward enough and will probably take me some time. They-- these worms are easy to detect, but very difficult to get rid of. Clearly. Since I am still suffering from their presence.” He glanced up, the softest of pouts on his lips. “I appreciated your company though.” You know what they say about playing stupid games; Quintin didn’t seem like the most organized of individuals so it really didn’t surprise Graham that a bunch of knowledge-eating worms escaped containment.. Graham looked back down at the lanky kid, catching his pout like this somehow caught him off-guard. He glanced off to the side and gave a soft sigh before dropping fluidly to a crouch next to the boy and motioned with his hand. “Here, gimme some,” He said, wondering what he was doing with his life at this point. Damn his soft spot for children up to the age of… Hmm. “It’ll be quicker with two people. Do you want to save any words and just get rid of the ones that are completely blank?” He asked for a general direction as he held an arm that rested on one of his knees out to take some papers.
Quintin yawned again, pressing a hand to his mouth, clear he probably could lay down right here and pass out if he could. “Wait, huh?” He glanced across from him, surprise written easily on his tired features that the person wasn’t thinking he was crazy and also willing to help him. His instincts hummed a little, wondering if they had an ulterior motive or if he lucked out and actually ran into someone nice. “I’ll remember most of them if I make a note of the page number,” he explained, writing down the numbers in the corner in a small notepad. “Ill burn them, or find another way. Yes we can just pile those there. You don’t seem put off with this. Which isn’t that surprisingly I suppose, everyone on campus is always going on about stuff weird and supernatural. But you seem, particularly calm about my ramblings. Is it often you run into people exclaiming note infestations and reanimation?” He sleepily teased. Jeez, the more Quintin yawned, the more Graham could feel how hungry he was; the sleeping were such available targets for a quick snack BUT… damn his soft spot for children AND his foresight to know better than to just go around biting strangers. Part of him wished he had no idea what he did, pulling an ‘oh sorry I didn’t know’ schtick but he DID know better and ugh. What a pain. Speaking of vampires though-- “I’ll admit, I’ve never heard of word-eating worms before,” He responded first as he shuffled the papers into the piles the boy wanted. “But I’ve never been one to turn away the pursuit of science and medicine,” He added with a half-shrug. “Granted, not all of them like to talk as much as you do but I think I have enough of a bead on the type of kid you are and talking’s just… something you do.” He rolled his eyes under their eyelids. “Plus, it’s not like reanimation’s a thing I’m unfamiliar with.” He added under his breath. 
“They are quite annoying, I have tried various ways to get rid of them, but if I miss even one little worm, they re-infest everything again,” Quintin hated these things, maybe if he got his hands on a pixie they could munch away at them and then when he knows for sure they are gone, he’d have something else to play with. “You like science then, ouch! Stop it,” Quintin squished the few centimetre long worm with his thumb after it bit his finger, and knew he'd forget something because of these little bites. “Hey, I don’t talk a lot, I’m just not usually bothered or spoken to at all, so it’s been nice talking to you,” Q admitted, “I’m really not a kid, I know I dress like one...” Quintin grumbled. If he wasn’t so sleepy he’d have gotten up and left, people always picked fun at him, and never quite got used to it. “Oh yeah? Why’s that? People always shy away from talking about it. Super taboo for whatever reason.” “You dress like one, you talk like one, you pout like one...” Graham replied casually, hearing Quintin responding verbally to the bites now and then and part of him wanted to get bitten, too if only out of curiosity if he would feel it - fortunately, he was aware of his non-breathing so if these things drew blood, though he was curious about whatever mark they left on the kid, he had to actively work not to notice. He kept his bright eyes on the papers, quirking an eyebrow. Oh so he was bothering Quintin by waking him up? He was fairly sure that that wasn’t what he meant but he remembered not actually starting any conversation-- wait wait wait, he kinda did when he asked about the dissertation. That being said, if he recalled how many words he said compared to Quintin, the scales would be tilted considerably in the latter’s favour. Mmf, get out of his thoughts. “Life’s too short to be afraid of conversation, at the very least,” He dodged the question and kept filing through the papers. “So if it’s something you like talking about, you should be able to bounce ideas or whatever’s floating through your head at someone.”
“You would be really surprised how often I’m told to leave someone alone,” he shrugged. “I even got excited online the other night with someone who liked the band Warhorse, and I never find anyone who does, and they kept signing offline mid conversation for hours at a time. So, yeah-- it’s a little weird you want to chat with me.” Q guessed he was being a little bit like a baby right now, but he was tired from staying up for three days dissecting an arm, off a faerie he had captured, at the shoulder socket and attempted to fuse it to something else for hours upon hours. “Do you believe that a soul is required for a body to be labeled alive?” he asked, still moving pages over, finding a lot of them not infested which he was grateful for. “I’ve heard of creatures not requiring one, though life isn’t exactly the right word.” His eyes twinkled a little, “one of these days I’ll be able to wake someone up stored in cryo. I really wonder if their soul is hibernating in there, or if something else will show up.” The vampire elected to keep his comments about how he didn’t find the aspect of Quintin being told to leave someone alone surprising at all to himself and set aside a stack of papers. “I guess I’ll take your word for it,” Graham opted to respond to the first comment and shifted to furrowing his brow in mild contemplation as Q seemed to jump right back into his subject of interest again. “I used to,” He replied casually though he could feel walls starting to erect in his head and he found himself frustrated at their sudden structure. “I think maybe ‘soul’ isn’t the right word,” He shuffled more papers, finally seeing one of the worms and crushing it between his fingers before it had a chance to bite into him. “I don’t believe plants have souls, but they’re alive and have bodies.I’m ASSUMING that you’re referring to the difference between treating a body as an empty husk that’s inhabitable by ‘life’ and assuming that one human body belongs to one ‘soul’, which is bound to that body indefinitely and if that’s the case, if the soul moves on once it perceives its assigned body as ‘dead’.” He thought it was too late to be thinking this existentially. “And in that case, you need to talk to a philosopher. No hard science will be able to answer that for you.”
Quintin laughed. “True. True.” This was why science and biology was exciting. It tethered to so many other areas of study so easily. Stirred the mind to ponder and could contain no answers to the questions one wanted sometimes. “Belief fills the gaps of science. It’s very fun to see what opinions people have over things that are taboo or uncomfortable that contain no scientific backup. Life is special. Consciousness is too. But you know—“ some that are here and alive really don’t belong. He grinned in victory at the last page lifting it up to double check its words were still there and set it in the right pile. “Yay, I promised myself I’d take a break this month and not— doing that. Do you want to hang out again? You like to sing? We could do karaoke or eat bad food somewhere.” Quintin tried to ask without sounding desperate. Long-ass paper. That’s what Graham concluded by the time the duo seemed to reach the bottom of the seemingly-endless stack and he gave an artificial exhale as a sort of pat on the back for all his contribution. He placed his elbows on his knees, leaning back against his feet in his crouch and content to listen to Quintin go off on another tangent if that’s what he wanted but to his actual surprise, the latter made offers to go do stuff. Kill time? It was his turn to laugh, genuine and surprisingly warm. “You’re a weeeeird kid.” He remarked once he tapered his laughter. “Do YOU like to sing?” Karaoke bars usually weren’t someone’s first choice of ‘hanging out’ and even then, he was sure he thought Quintin would’ve been too quiet for that kind of activity. Maybe he DID hold surprises, after all. He extended an arm, fist balled and he lightly nudged Quintin’s shoulder with it. “...Yeah, alright. Karaoke. You pick the time and the place.” He smiled.
“Heyyyy, come on. We talked. You helped me. I can’t help but hope for a better background to keep chatting,” Quintin carefully this time, put the notes back in his bag and held the infested ones to his chest. “And I can sing— I love music.” He felt another tired pout almost plump his lips. Why was he so bad at being casual with people? He’s always awkward. Even the other hunters shy away from him. He tossed his bag on his shoulder, and rose up to unlock his big pick up truck. “Okay—“ he threw the bag in and set the papers down before writing his phone and online profile for him. “Here, you don’t have to.” He shrugged. “But it was kinda nice you could keep up with my gibberish. Maybe see you around.” He pulled himself into the truck. Graham straightened up when Quinton did and he kept his blue eyes on the gawky young man, chuckling and crossing his arms; the mental filter wasn’t too strong on this one. He must’ve been lonely. “Alright, Quintin,” He replied with a scoff. “I’ll see you next time. You better be able to deliver on that karaoke,” He finished the conversation with a call as Q climbed into the big truck that seemed to swallow him. The vampire gave one last look at the student before letting his head fall with another scoff at himself this time; why did he only seem to make friends with weird teenagers? He shook his head and texted his new roommate that he’d be home later than usual - something about Quintin, his face and how he carried himself reminded Graham that he was starving.

K9 Protector; Charlie Nelson x reader
*Author’s note*
Okay so this is a little out of territory for me cause I’m only going based off of previous fics and short clips of the series Midsomer Murders. So if I get anything wrong about the series please tell me cause I have no other access to actually watch the series (which SUCKS CAUSE I WANT TO SEE GWIL BE A DETECTIVE). Now again this story was based off a section of the sad movie “A dog’s purpose” BUT I PROMISE YOU. IT’S NOT AS SAD AS MY DEACY FIC that I made. I SWEAR IT. Also pic of pupper DOES NOT BELONG TO ME. I AM JUST USING IT FOR VISUAL PURPOSES CREDIT GOES TO OWNERS.
Warnings: like every other crime story, mentions of crime, guns, mild violence, possibly swearing, angst but FLUFFY FEELS. Plus it’s got doggies in it so if you don’t like doggies something’s wrong with you (unless your allergic then u have an excuse).

____________________________________________________________
I was currently sleeping when I felt something nuzzle my neck and kiss it.  I tiredly smiled but tried to keep my eyes closed.
“Love, I know you’re awake. C’mon time to wake up.” I moaned tiredly.
“Don’t wanna.”
“I know, as much as I want to I wish I could just hold you in my arms all day. Not even bother going in today.” I then decided to open my eyes and turn around to stare at my boyfriend of 2 years Charlie….oh sorry I should say Detective Sargent Charlie Nelson.
“Why don’t we? We could call in sick? Or I could say Nero isn’t feeling good and needs both of us to look after him.”
“You know they wouldn’t believe the second lie. Nero hates me.”
“He doesn’t hate you.” I tried to reason.
“Darling he literally stopped me from getting into bed with you last night.” I’ll admit Nero’s a smart dog but it’s unbelievable of how much of a little cockblocker he is.  But I guess I can’t really hold that against him.
See before I transferred here to Midsomer, I was just a rookie cop back in Winchester. I’ve always wanted to be part of the K9 unit, it was hard to get into it because of the long wait process but finally I got in and that’s when I was partnered up with 9 month old Nero, my German Shepherd.  And I just fell in love with him so much that I also went into adopting him into my home.
So I was not only his partner but off work, I was his owner and he was my best friend.  Early on I did date a guy an at first I thought he was nice but then when he got pissed because I wasn’t spending enough time with him we got into an argument. So much so that he had actually hit me, Nero got so defensive that he charged and chased after him and tore his arm apart.
After getting things settled and breaking things up with him, no charges were pressed against me or Nero and my ex was sentenced to 5 years for assault on a police officer.
It was maybe 6 months after that that my chief transferred me here to Midsomer, coincidently the same time Charlie was transferred from London.  We met on a case with Nero needed to track down some druggies involved in a thief crime which turned into a homicide.  At first the two of us each time we crossed paths with each other had a playful banter with each other on whether K9 or Detective work was the hardest.
But eventually we started seeing each other, going to dinner after work until finally Charlie got the balls to kiss me and we both confessed our feelings for each other.  One thing led to another until finally with the help of Chief Barnaby, we found a house together.
“I think he’s still traumatized with the—you know.”
“But surely he must know that I would never do a thing like that. I could never bring myself to hurt you, let alone touch you like that.”
“I know you wouldn’t. Guess dogs just need a bit more time to get adjust. After all they never forget things.”
“That you have told me.” He kissed me before getting out of bed wearing nothing but his boxers.  I raised my head up against my hand which was raised up against the headboard and I grinned at him.  “See something you like?”
“You know I do.” He came back and hovered over me before capturing my lips in his. Before anything else could happen, I heard the sound of scratching at the door as well as whimpering.  Soon a roar of barks came up and I heard Charlie groan.  “I better let him out.”
I got out of bed and opened the bedroom door and immediately my 7 year old muddy black German shepherd came up circling around me before looked straight at Charlie and lowered his head growling lowly.  He looked at me in accusation and I commanded to him.
Tumblr media
“Nero down!” He looked up at me and I took him by the collar and said, “Outside.” He then raced ahead down the stairs towards the backdoor and stood there. Whimpering and fussing about waiting for me to open the door.  Once I opened it, he raced outside and I shut the door allowing him to go and do his business.
I felt Charlie’s arms wrap around me from behind and he said as he kissed my cheek.
“You still don’t believe me?”
“Okay, how about after work we work on his behavior around you together?”
“Alright.” I kissed him and wrapped my arms around his neck and said.
“I love you.”
“And I love you.” He kissed me when he heard the sound of paws knocking against the glass door and the sound of barks once more.  I opened the door and Nero came up and pushed himself between Charlie and I.
“Nero. Dog bed now!” He looked up at me but obeyed and sat down.  We got ready and as we got into the car, Nero hopped into the backseat with Charlie and I up in front as the two of us drove to the office. Of course Nero was glaring right at Charlie.
“I’m telling you love, he’s like an old soul just waiting to snap at me.”  I rolled my eyes and just rubbed Nero’s neck allowing him to come over to me as he licked my face.
As the day went on and I was training Nero through the obstacle course as well as giving the newbie K9 officers a lecture on how to train their dogs, I took notice of Charlie observing me.  And based off the look he was giving me; it didn’t seem like he was watching me just for the sake of me being his girlfriend.
“20 laps around the entire perimeter, go!” I ordered the cadets and they all called out.
“Yes ma’am!” They then began to run the laps and I took Nero over to the fence.
“What’s up?” I asked concerned.
“You know the case I’ve been on for the past couple of days?”
“You mean the apparent suicide case?”
“Turns out it wasn’t suicide. Through the CCTV of the apartment it turns out it was a former ex-boyfriend. And what’s worse is that we may be dealing with a second victim.”
“What do you mean?”
“Ms. Carmichael has a 13 year old niece she took guardianship over. And the teenager’s stuff is still in the house but no one’s seen her ever since her aunt’s death.”
“Oh my god.” I said in shock.  “What do you guys know of where he’s keeping her at?”
“Been told that the ex-boyfriend Marcus owns a cabin right by the reservoir. This was supposedly the last piece of clothing the niece was wearing before the abduction.” He held out a bag which held what looked like a pink jumper.
“Leave it to me.”
“Darling I don’t know, it’s about to get dark what if—”
“Charlie a young girl’s life is on the line. We don’t have time to screw around. Now I’m the only expert K9 operative here and I am not letting these rookies go out when they’ve barely had the chance to work in with their dogs. Nero’s the best tracker we got right now.” Nero let out a series of barks wanting to help. Charlie looked at me worriedly before he said.
“Alright here,” he handed me the bag and continued, “Chief and I will meet you along with backup. Please be careful.” We pecked each other and I tugged on Nero’s leash and we headed to my unit car.
With the sirens blaring and revved engine I took off along the road and over the police radio I heard base say.
‘All units we have report of the blue Toyota involved in the kidnapping/homicide case. Heading West on 24.’
“Copy that, K9 unit in pursuit. Request immediate backup.” I spoke into my radio. I took the bag and held it up as I said, “Nero! Nero find boy.” I soon heard him sniffing the bag and saw him duck his whole face into the bag getting a good whiff of the girl’s jumper.  “Good boy, good Nero find!” He then stuck his head out from the window trying to lock on the scent.
Suddenly he began barking up a storm.  He got the scent.  Atta boy. I made a sharp turn down by the river where the reservoir was.  I got out of the car and rushed over to let Nero out of the car.  I grabbed his leash and he was immediately on the trail.
He raced on ahead and took me up the stairs of the reservoir that stood over the river.
“Good boy, atta boy!” We scaled up the metal stairs just as the sun was starting to set when I suddenly heard the sound of grunting.  It sounded female so I quietly shushed Nero and walked towards the railings.  There down below was the suspect with whom I assumed was the niece.  She fit the age description Charlie gave me and it looked like this psycho had ripped the jumper off this girl because all she was wearing was a black tank top and jeans. “C’mon boy.” I tugged on his leash and we went down one level.
Nero raced on ahead hot on the trail as he began barking frantically and aggressively.
“Good boy! Get him! Get him Nero!” I shouted. “HALT! MIDSOMER POLICE! FREEZE!!” I cried out to the suspect as he kept walking on ahead of me. “STOP OR I’LL SICK THE DOG ON YOU!!” I cried out over Nero’s aggressive barking.  The suspect turned around still holding onto the young blonde haired teenager. I could see her shivering from the exposure of the cold October air and she was full of fear. “Let her go Marcus! She’s got nothing to do with this!”
Nero kept barking as he tugged on his leash wanting to attack.  Marcus didn’t listen.  He knew he didn’t have any other way out as his wide, frantic eyes just stared right at me.
“Let her go! Let her go or I’ll sick the dog on you!” Nero still barking and baring his teeth at Marcus.  I reached down to unhook him from his leash hoping that by seeing it he would let the girl go, but then things went completely sideways.
The young teenager fought her way out of Marcus’ grip and next thing I saw, she was being thrown over the bridge and into the freezing river below.  I leaned up against the edge horrified and that’s when I saw Nero without hesitation dive right in to try and save her.
Oh please hurry Nero, get her to shore.  Next thing I heard were footsteps running ahead of me.  Marcus was making another run for it.
“Marcus! STOP!!” I drew my gun out and fired a shot at him but it just bounced off the metal and missed him.  I took immediate pursuit as I spoke into my shoulder walkie talkie. “Suspect located on the reservoir bridge. K9 officer in rescue of the teenage victim. Need immediate rescue squad down by the river. Repeat rescue squad at the base of the river! The child’s been exposed to the elements!” I kept on Marcus’ trail ordering him to stop but he refused as he now began to climb up the stairs to the upper levels of the reservoir.
*3rd Person POV*
Nero was currently dog paddling as fast as he could through the rushing current to try and save the teenage girl.  She kept getting drowned by the rushing river until finally she felt something close to her, it was Nero.  He placed his body close to her.
Knowing he had no immediate thing to hold on to, he stayed close to her so that she could hold onto his neck while he swam her to the shore.  After what felt like a long, gruesome swim, Nero finally reached land and the medics arrived at the river.
“She’s over here!” a female responder cried out.
“Get the hypothermia blanket!” a male responder proclaimed.  They came up to the girl and immediately picked her up and got her checked out telling her all would be okay.  They thanks Nero and told him he had done a good job as he shook himself of the water.
It was at that time, DS Nelson arrived on the scene to see the young teenage girl alive and unharmed thanks to Nero.  But his stomach dropped when he realized that no one had heard from K9 officer (l/n). Drawing out his gun he took off towards the reservoir bridge and raced up the stairs, hoping that he wouldn’t find the love of his life dead.
*My POV*
The only sound that I heard was the sound of the rushing falls.  I kept my gun pointed outward with my hand on the trigger, in case Marcus stepped out and tried to take aim, because last I had heard he was armed.  I don’t know with what but as an officer you don’t take any chances.
I was searching everywhere I could, not keeping my eyes on one spot for more than a second as I tried to figure out where Marcus was.  I was unaware of a small opening which lead to the lower levels of the bridge.
Next thing I knew I heard a shout and the sound of tackling, when I turned there was Charlie on the ground with Marcus.  Then a split second later, Nero came out of nowhere and bit onto Marcus’ leg. Suddenly a gunshot was heard and I sprung into action helping Charlie.  I kicked the gun out of his hand and helped him in getting Marcus’ hands behind his back.
“Release Nero! Release!” It was then I took notice of all the blood that was along the railing.  As I forced Marcus up, I was horrified to see Charlie on the ground covered in blood.
Soon two officers came up and took Marcus away and I raced towards Charlie.
“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Charlie. Charlie look at me.”
“Are you—okay?”
“Goddamn you yah stubborn bastard?” Nero slowly walked up towards Charlie and I turned on my walkie talkie as I choked out. “This is K9 officer (l/n). I need immediate—assistance. DS Nelson is down. Repeat…..Detective Sargent Nelson has been shot.” I moved his head onto my lap and stroked his face.  “Don’t you dare leave me you idiot. Don’t you dare leave me.”
“I could never…..leave you.” He groaned out in pain as blood continued to spill out of him.  I pressed down on his wound making him groan in agony.  I couldn’t help but sob as I prayed to God that he’d spare the man I love and save him.  I could hear Nero whimpering and I saw him lay down on Charlie’s leg just as EMT’s arrived.
I was forced by John to remove myself from Charlie as they began patching him up as best as they could before taking him away to the hospital.
I paced and paced and paced with Charlie’s blood still staining my hands and uniform in the waiting room. I couldn’t even sit down cause of my frantic worry.  Nero must’ve fed off my nervous energy because I could hear him whimpering and grunting anxiously.
“Officer (l/n)?” I stopped pacing and raced up towards the doctor and said.
“What’s his status Doctor? Please tell me he’s alright.”
“Detective Sargent Nelson’s operation was a success. We managed to stop the bleeding. We’re gonna keep him a few nights to monitor him but he’s gonna be fine.” A heavy weight was just lifted off of my shoulders.
“Thank you so much doctor.” I praised him. “Can—I see him?”
“Room 101 just down the hall first door on your left.” I nodded and whistled for Nero to follow and he did.  I opened the door and there on the bed hooked up to some morphine for the pain was Charlie. He turned towards me and whispered hoarsely.
“Hey love.” I walked in as Nero brushed by me and I sat down beside the love of my life. I delicately placed my hand against his cheek feeling the scruff of his beard and couldn’t help the tears from falling down my face as I wept into his arm. “Hey, shhh, don’t cry my angel. It hurts me to see you cry.”
“This is all my fault.” I sobbed out.
“Where do you get that from?” he said.
“If I—if I hadn’t gone alone….you wouldn’t have….Marcus wouldn’t have….”
“Shhh, shh. None of this was your fault. You were doing your job, just as I was. But if I had not reacted the way I did, and was forced to watch as he shot you. I’d never forgive myself if this was you on the bed.” He wiped away the tears that came down my face and he forced me to look up at him by taking my chin between his fingers. “I’m here my love, I’m right here. I promise I won’t leave you.”
I leaned forward and lightly kissed him.  As he cupped my cheek as we kissed, his heart meter started flashing and I got worried fearing that something was wrong until I heard him chuckle softly and said.
“I told you I wasn’t lying when I said that every time we kiss, my heart races.” I rolled my eyes and we kissed again.
After being discharged from the hospital, I tried to make Charlie as comfortable as possible.  I had gotten extra pillows so that he wouldn’t be in pain, since the bullet had gone straight through his stomach, just barely missing any internal organs.
It was rainy night when I finally decided to hit the sack.  I cautiously cuddled up to Charlie not wanting to mess with his injuries.
“You sure you don’t need anything else?” I asked him.
“I’m fine love. You’ve been frantically taking care of me for the past week now. It’s high time you finally got some rest of your own.”
“Okay, but you know you can wake me up if you—”
“If I need something, I know love. I know.” He kissed my nose before kissing my lips softly. “Goodnight my darling.”
“Goodnight Charlie, I love you. So, so much.”
“I love you too.” I felt his arm wrap around me and soon I fell asleep with my head on his chest, hoping to hear his heartbeat and that I would wake up to hear it beat once more.
*Charlie’s POV*
As the night went on, I was woken up by the sound of whimpers.  I cracked my eye open and there stood Nero standing by the door as per usual.  However lately I’ve been noticing that anytime (y/n) has gone near me, he doesn’t growl at me anymore, in fact sometimes when (y/n) needed to step out, Nero was there standing at the door, looking outward and occasionally looking at me.
“Yes?” I croaked out.  Without waking up my sleeping angel I adjusted myself as carefully as I could to at least raise my head up as I said, “You finally kicking me out now?” But it was then Nero began grunting as he slowly spun around until finally he caught his tail, his eyes locked to mine.  I shrugged and said, “I know better magic tricks.”
He released his tail before walking up towards me and resting his head up against my side of the bed.  Through whatever light there was, I could just see those big brown eyes looking up right at me as he let out a whimper.  I think now I get what he’s trying to say.  
I slowly scooted my hand closer to his nose, he gave it a sniff before finally licking it.
“Guess I finally won your approval, eh ol timer?” He stopped licking me and just looked at me.  I smiled softly and said, “Don’t wake mummy now. Up. Up Nero.” He immediately hopped up onto the bed.  His head resting near my feet as he softly grunted and got himself situated before lying down.  I lay back down sighed before looking back down at Nero.
I reached down with my other hand softly scratching his back and whispered.
“Thank you for your approval Officer Nero. I promise to take care of her.” I then fell asleep.
*My POV*
The next morning when I awoke, I woke up to find the most shocking but adorable sight. Nero was actually sleeping next to Charlie.  His head was lying against Charlie’s thigh and I took notice that Charlie’s hand was resting on top of Nero’s back.  I couldn’t help but fawn and finally rejoice at seeing my two boys finally getting along.
I guess with Charlie taking the bullet for me, that caused Nero to finally see that he was a good guy and not at all like my ex.  I rubbed Nero’s neck and whispered.
“Good boy. Protect daddy.”

A Familiar Place - Part 1
Tumblr media
A recovery story - this series follows some events in the first year of Bucky’s life back stateside, and his small adventures while learning to come home to himself. This is not an “x Reader” or romance story.
Warnings: some language, probably sloppy editing
A/N: I’m posting the first part of this story to celebrate hitting 100 followers this weekend! Thank you so much everyone! I’m having a blast with this writing blog. This story probably won’t be updated as fast as Born to Run since I don’t have it all written out yet, but I still wanted to post it. Tagging @bitsandbobsandstuff since she answered my question about Steve’s coffee order :) As always, let me know what you think and if you like it!
Tumblr media
There’s a stack of books next to his bed that need to go back to the library. Probably overdue, he thinks, and he hasn’t read a single page. He feels a little guilty for it as he stares at their spines, blinking slow and sleepy.
A knock at the door.
“Hey man, you ready?” Sam pokes his head in, eyebrows up and expectant.
“Yeah, yeah,” Bucky nods. Finishes lacing his sneakers. Grabs a baseball cap from the doorknob on his way.
Steve is waiting by the front door, rolling his shoulders underneath a (frankly ridiculous) tight blue shirt. The corner of his mouth quirks up when he turns.
“Mornin’, Buck.”
“Morning.”
“He’s so damn chipper in the mornings,” Sam grins, slapping Bucky’s shoulder. “I feel perky just standing next to you, Tin Man.”
Bucky narrows his eyes but says nothing, just watches Steve shake his head like a fond mother. He knew by now that their animosity was mostly a pretense.
“Ready to go?” the Captain asks, rubbing his hands together, eager and alert despite the bags under his own eyes. Bucky suspects that Steve stays up to see if he needs him, listening for the sounds of his nightmares. He feels a little guilty for that, too.
They do a quick warm up outside, some leg swings and lunges and jumping jacks to get the blood flowing. It’s mostly for Sam - Bucky doesn’t know if it’s possible for him or Steve to pull a muscle, but it definitely won’t be on their morning runs. But they do the routine together anyways, the three of them, their breaths puffing in the spring morning air.
It’s only a couple of miles from their place to Prospect Park, and Bucky and Steve jog at a reasonable pace for Sam’s sake. The conversation is easy between them now - Sam’s date last week with the nurse from the medical wing, Steve’s painting class, Bucky’s therapy sessions. He’s noncommittal on any specifics, but he admits that he thinks they help. And that’s enough - Sam and Steve don’t press him, happy to have him out and moving and living under a sunrise. They take a few laps through the curving paths of the park, nodding to other early morning runners.
About 6 miles in, Bucky yawns.
“Are we gonna actually run today, Rogers, or are we letting the flightless bird set the pace?”
Steve cocks an eyebrow and glances to his left at Sam, the only member of their trio with a collection of sweat on his chest and under his arms and little beads of it running down his face.
“If you think you can keep up, jerk.”
Sam is left behind somewhere around the lake, yelling something about not being afraid to “beat senior citizen ass.”
Here’s the thing about being a super soldier: it doesn’t feel that crazy most of the time. Bucky knows he’s not straining when he moves an entire rack of weights in the gym, or lifts the back end of a car to help put a jack under it. Tony rented out batting cages for the team one time, and he broke the bat on the first swing, simultaneously popping the stitches on the ball. He plays this little game sometimes where he tries to balance as much weight as he can on his index finger - he’s managed 40 pounds so far on his human hand.
But none of that feels special when he does it. Being strong is just a fact about him. It doesn’t make him feel superhuman. “Enhanced”.
Running, though.
When he and Steve go for runs, legs stretching forward and pavement barely felt as it flows beneath their feet, the world feels different. Slower. They dart around the joggers and strollers in their path, and Bucky watches them slip behind him in slow motion. They propel their bodies like bullets, their cadence the rapidfire staccato of a machine gun. The trees ebb and grow in cresting waves of green as the soldiers fly past.
Flying, Bucky thinks. That’s how he feels now.
Steve is a half beat ahead of him, and his head turns in profile, eyes cutting to find Bucky’s. The corner of his lip twitches.
“Tired yet?”
“Not on your life, punk.”
Steve laughs as he nearly doubles their pace, legs a blur to the eyes of everyone they pass. Bucky follows, gripping the bill of his cap as it threatens to fly up at their speed. He shifts it around backwards, the way he sees Sam wear his sometimes. They turn up the periphery of the park to the northeast, chasing the half-risen sun, now above the buildings and trees around them. Bucky can see the shape of the public library as they pass by, the bronze gate gleaming in the morning light. Some of his old gear, Army stuff and boxing gloves and pictures of him and Steve sitting on the hood of a jeep in France, had been on display with their historical collection when he got here - got home - a few months ago. Sam showed him when they went there; Bucky had leaned close, tried to recognize that kid under the glass.
The supersoldiers put in about 20 miles before they decide to find Sam, now that they’ve finally broken a sweat. Cutting across the grass, they slow their pace to human level and look for their friend. Sam is still by the lake, stretching in the grass while laughing with a girl with a long braided ponytail and crazy tight workout clothes. Bucky and Steve share a look as they jog across the lawn, but act polite when the starstruck girl realizes who Sam’s running buddies are.
After taking a couple selfies with them, the girl jogs off to get ready for work, ponytail swinging behind her. Steve raises an eyebrow in Sam’s direction.
“So, what about that nurse?”
Sam gives him the finger.
***************************************************************************************
“Look man, all I’m saying is, you could give it a shot,” Sam shrugs, sipping from his to-go cappuccino. “I mean, who knows, there’s probably plenty of ladies out there who are into this whole thing.” He waves the coffee cup to gesture to Bucky’s entire body.
Bucky frowns. “I have a thing?”
“Sure, you know the brooding, emotionally tortured, dark past kinda thing.” Sam slaps his shoulder. “Lean into it, chicks dig that.”
Bucky nearly chokes on his own drink as he glares at Sam. Steve hides his smile behind his complete monstrosity of a drink. A limited edition something, the clear cup holds 20 ounces of frozen tie-dye, swirling in red, blue, and yellow, and topped with a mountain of whipped cream. Steve Rogers, ever the little shit, had ordered this drink with a straight face, and now slurps loudly on his straw, while taking breaks to run his finger through the whipped cream. Bucky can see the name “Cap” scrawled in neat sharpie on the side of the cup, with a star drawn next to it.
“I’m not interested, okay,” Bucky shrugs, dodging a piece of gum on the sidewalk. They had gotten coffee on their walk back to the brownstone, and were discussing a topic that now made Bucky’s skin crawl with discomfort - women.
“Hey, you don’t have to be looking for a wife,” Sam goes on. “But it wouldn’t hurt you to download an app or two. Tinder. Bumble. Something.”
“Aw, lay off him, Sam,” Steve finally speaks up, shaking his head. “Bucky’s not ready. Maybe he’ll feel like it when he’s back to his old lady killer self.”
Bucky cringes at the phrase, at the half-formed memories it conjures. A swaggering Brooklyn kid who spent far too much time combing his hair and winking at pretty girls. He remembers tucking flowers into the lapel of his suit jacket, spending hours shining his shoes, just to spend a night dancing with some pretty girl he’d never see again. He could barely bring himself to talk to strangers anymore, let alone ask one on a date.
“Shut up, Rogers,” he mumbles into his coffee. “That Bucky is dead and buried.”
He doesn’t have to look to know that Steve’s face has that stricken grimace he pulls whenever Bucky says something dark and self-deprecating. He wishes he could say those things without making Steve feel guilty, cause now he feels guilty…
“I didn’t mean anything by it, Buck…”
“I know, I know,” Bucky waves him off. “Just quit tryin’ to set me up, both of you. Let an old man rest, will you? Jeez…”
His little joke is enough to put Steve and Sam at ease again, and the conversation turns to Steve’s equally lackluster love life until they reach their place and shuffle up the front steps. Ivy creeps and climbs up the walls for this entire block of buildings, and Bucky wonders if someone planted it there. He likes the lush green of it, especially in the morning.
The 3 of them part ways to hit the showers. In his room again, Bucky’s eye is drawn back to his sad little pile of books.
Sam is smart. An asshole, yes, but smart. Which is why his book choices tend to include biographies, history, political topics - the stack on the nightstand includes only one novel, a recent bestseller about a retired veteran adopting a dog. Bucky remembers reading, being a reader - he remembers bringing home books from school or trading them at the bookstore or receiving them as gifts from Steve. But not those kinds of books. Nothing boring. Nothing to remind him of the uncertain, hard world he lived in.
He stares at the spines of Sam’s books for a few more moments, then hurries through the shower, his mind made up.
***************************************************************************************
“Um, excuse me,” he clears his throat at the front desk. “I need to return these, but, uh. I think - well, they’re overdue.”
Bucky tries a smile at the clerk, a middle-aged woman with a short-cropped haircut, but he can feel how unnatural it looks on his face. The clerk raises an eyebrow at him - he realizes he should have waited a bit before coming here; the tips of his hair are still wet, tiny wet spots coloring the shoulders on his hoodie.
“Well, let’s scan them and see,” she sighs, pulling his books across the desk. Bucky shifts, his hands curling and uncurling in his front pockets. The old Bucky could probably charm his way out of the fine, but this one? Not a chance in hell, Barnes. The librarian grabs the first book and scans the barcode taped to the plastic jacket.
His books are 13 days overdue - costing him a grand total of $5.20. He thinks of Steve’s now expensive coffee habit as he hands over the bill and change. There goes one of his frozen sugar nightmares.
With his fine taken care of, Bucky wanders his way through the fiction section, his eyes passing over names and titles without catching on anything. Sam’s books weren’t his taste. But he doesn’t even remember his own taste. Gloved fingers drift over the shelves, tapping on the wood.
“Can I help you find something?”
Bucky is embarrassed to be so startled - his head jerks around to see the old man standing there, a warm smile on his face. His shoulders are stooped a little, hands clasped behind his back as he tilts his head up to meet Bucky’s eyes.
“No...well, I don’t know,” Bucky huffs. “I don’t really know what I’m looking for.”
“Oh, I see,” the man nods. The crooked name tag on his striped shirt reads ‘Marvin’. “Would you like some recommendations, then?”
Bucky hesitates, quirking the corner of his mouth down.
“I guess so,” he nods. “I like...fiction. But I haven’t really read anything in a long time.”
Marvin nods quietly, pursing his lips. His eyes pass over the shelves behind his coke bottle glasses, tapping a finger to his chin.
“Follow me,” he shuffles down the aisle, waving a hand behind him. Bucky obeys, turning the corner onto the next set of author’s names. Marvin’s mouth moves silently as he walks along, searching and searching.
“Aha! Here we go.” He reaches up to a shelf at eye level, taking a book and showing Bucky the front cover. “This has been a classic since it was published, really. And the author wrote a trilogy that followed. It’s fantasy, maybe that’s your thing?”
“I...I’m trying new things,” Bucky decides, clearing his throat as he takes the book, admiring the pastoral scene on the cover. “Um, you said he wrote other books?”
Marvin smiles and turns back to the shelf, reaching for the adjacent books.
******************************************************************************************
Bucky’s backpack makes a ‘thunk’ sound as he drops it next to his bed, closing the door with his foot. He had loaned all four books that Marvin suggested, eager as he read their inside covers. Maybe he and Steve and Sam could watch the movie adaptations sometime, on one of their pizza nights. He had always opted out of choosing a movie, so overwhelmed by the options and apathetic to Sam’s DVD library. But maybe he would suggest it to Steve next time. Steve would like that.
He toes off his sneakers, shuffling back and messing up the comforter on his perfectly made bed. When he first moved in, he thought the room was furnished with way too many pillows - who needs more than one pillow? Now he fluffs the three behind his back and props himself up against the headboard, leaning over to slip the first book out of his backpack. He settles back on his bed, folds back the cover to the first chapter.
“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.”

Could you do Mullette with the Nearly 200 Prompts List. 37, 59, 64, & 68.
(37: “Dance with me!” 59: “You own my heart.” 64: “You’re so beautiful.” 68: “You’re making me blush!”)
Hercules shut off his alarm clock with a groan. Did he have to wake up so damn early?.. He picked up his phone and spotted the date. Oh, god, how could he have forgotten. He immediately sat up and looked at Lafayette’s place in bed with a sigh before getting up and getting ready. He took a shower until he couldn’t get any cleaner and put on one of Lafayette’s favorite outfits on him, a pair of baggy jeans, a random t-shirt, and his beanie. God, he could not forget his beanie. Once he was ready, he looked in the mirror and chuckled. He almost looked like he was in college again. He could remember all of the memories he’d made there, the ones with Lafayette being the most clear to him. He smiled. Like the time he met him… That was so embarrassing.
“Oh, excuse me, I am so sorry! Here, let me pick those up for you!” Lafayette had been running towards a lecture and accidentally bumped into Hercules, dropping the books that he’d been taking back to the library for his friend, Alexander. And now, he was on the ground, trying to rebuild the inhumanely large stack.
“Oh, no, I’ve got it. I know those books are kind of-” He cut himself off as the Frenchman lifted the books with ease before putting them back in Hercules’s arms. “… heavy…”
He smiled. “I get that. But I’m stronger than I look. So, what is your name? I’m Lafayette. I have a double major in marine biology and animal science.”
“I’m… I’m Hercules… Hercules Mulligan. Fashion design major. Is Lafayette a nickname or something?”
He chuckled and nodded. “Unfortunately, my parents thought it best to baptize me like a Spaniard. You know, give me the name of any protective saint they could think of and write. My legal name is Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert Du Motier, De Lafayette. Well, actually, Lafayette isn’t really part of my legal name. So, I made it into a nickname for me.”
“I see..” Lafayette was smart, strong, and beautiful. Hercules just had to ask him out.
Lafayette giggled. “You’re making me blush…”
“Huh?”
“If you really think that about me, meet me in front of the library this Friday at around 7.” He smiled. “Here, give me your number.” Was what he said. But the second he saw the time, he remembered why he was in that predicament in the first place, his smile disappearing. “I have to go! I’ll see you then!”
And, with that, Lafayette was gone. Until 7 that Friday in front of the library.
Yeah, that was not one of Herc’s finest moments. He chuckled and drove up to the flower shop that his friend Eliza ran with her younger sister, Peggy.
“Hey, Herc! The usual?”
“You know it.”
Eliza smiled and put together a bouquet of white lilies, sunflowers, and a few different orchids. Lafayette never could pick a favorite out of those three. She also but together a few more yellow roses separately. When she finished, she handed the flowers to Herc, declining his credit card as she held it towards him. “It’s on me. I know this is a very special day for you..”
“Thank you..” He smiled and got in the car before driving off again, thinking about 20 years ago to that day.
He could hardly remember any words that were said, but he remembered Lafayette and how gorgeous he looked in the tuxedo/wedding dress hybrid that Herc’s dad had made for him. And he remembered the reception. He chuckled. Every few minutes after their first dance, Lafayette came up to Hercules and asked for another one.
“But you must dance with me! It’s our wedding!”
“Laf, you know I don’t really dance.. I really just love watching you have fun.”
“I’d be having more fun with you!”
So, as much as Lafayette begged, he got Hercules onto his feet and onto the dance floor.
He still preferred watching Lafayette having fun more than anything, but if it made him happy, he wouldn’t hesitate to dance the night away with him in their living room.
He just wished that things were still that simple. That they were still young, still kids who were ready to face the world. But at least he knew how that challenge ended up.
Lafayette had co-owned a zoo with his friend John dedicated to rehabilitating animals. He’d always come home talking about all the tours he gave inside of the empty enclosures while John gave tours standing outside of the occupied ones.
Hercules had his own fashion line. Nothing major, just a few stores, enough for the pair to live more than comfortably. In fact, they both did well financially and even brought up a kid, Georges. Their son would’ve been 15 that day, so Hercules got him his favorite flower, roses. One for each year of his life since his birthday was unknown. It was Lafayette’s idea, celebrating it on their anniversary each year. They had a celebration for both occasions, something that everyone could enjoy. And Hercules was going to keep that up.
He knelt down and laid the roses down, ten purple, his favorite color, and five yellow. He pressed a kiss to his fingers before pressing them to the bark of Georges’s tree, smiling. It was almost like he was still there.
It was something that they’d always thought about, ever since that one date where the pair were laying across under the stars in the woods.
Lafayette smiled. “When I die, I want my ashes to be scattered among the soil of a new tree. It’ll be like I’m giving it a boost in life.”
Hercules nodded. “I like that idea. I’m so glad that won’t be for years, though.” He held Lafayette’s hand.
“Can I be an apple tree?” Georges piped up, just a curious five year old at the time.
“Of course you can, my love.” Lafayette smiled. “What about you, Hercules? What kind of tree would you be?”
He thought for a second. “A big oak tree. That’d be nice.”
He nodded. “I want to be a cherry blossom tree. They’re so pretty to look at, especially in the spring.”
Hercules could confirm that. Every year, the tree made gorgeous blossoms and it even made a bit of fruit, just some tiny cherries for birds and squirrels. He leaned down by Lafayette’s tree roots and placed the flowers before standing straight up and looked at the tree. Five years. It seemed like longer, yet it seemed like shorter. It was so hard to explain. So many things were so hard. Nothing was ever truly easy again, not since Hercules heard about what that drunk driver did to his family. He was devastated, angry, uncontrollable. And he still had his moments when the grief becomes too much and he tries to drink it all away, but his amazing friends never failed to stop him.
“I miss you, Laf… I always will. You’ll always own my heart.” He kissed his fingers, then ran his hand over the bark, just as he had before. Then he just stood there, letting his tears flow freely down his face until he felt someone tapping his leg.
“Excuse me, mister? Are you okay? Why are you crying?”
He wiped his eyes and looked down at the twin girls staring back up at him. “I lost someone important a few years ago on this day.. It used to be a really happy day, but…”
The second twin nodded. “It’s okay.. Everyone gets sad sometimes.”
“Yeah, sometimes people say that boys don’t cry, but we know that’s silly.”
He nodded and couldn’t help but smile at these two sweethearts. “You’re right.”
They smiled back at him and gave him a bag of M&Ms. “They make us feel happy, so maybe they’ll make you feel better too!”
“That’s so thoughtful. Thank you.” He put the candy in his jacket pocket. “I’ll eat them as soon as I get home.”
“Mary! June! It’s time to get some cake!”
They all turned and saw a man waving at them from a birthday party.
“Bye, mister!”
“We hope you feel better!”
They both smiled before running off.
Hercules smiled and looked back at Lafayette’s tree. “You never fail to disappoint, do you?..”
All he could remember were the few words that Lafayette said to him every important night of their life. Their graduation. Their wedding. Their first time meeting Georges. He’d say it without fail.
“I will always be here for you.”

Just A Typical Morning
Sophie is just the typical 10-year-old girl. Except for her family life where she grows up in a foster home with a mom, a dad, 15 older siblings, six younger siblings, and several pets. Yup. Definitely typical. 
Hi, whoever is reading this. My name is Sophie Hathaway and this is my life. I am 10 years old and just moved to a new school. I’m not like other kids my age. I mean I go to school, hang out with my friends after school, I draw for competitions, I like soccer and video games but I also like stuffed animals and musicals. So I would say that I’m mostly normal.
Sophie was looking in a mirror getting ready for school in her tiny closet bedroom. She was dressed in a white tank top, a red plaid flannel shirt, jean leggings, and black converse. She tied her long curly ebony hair in a ponytail before putting her signature dark blue messenger hat on and turned to her white Maine Coon cat. “Well, Lion? What do you think?” Lion responded by lazily sprawling out on one of her shirts. Sophie rolled her midnight blue eyes and said “Thanks for the input Lion. Seriously that helps so much.” The moment Lion started to chew on the shirt she yanked it out from under him. Lion started to meow loudly in annoyance. Sophie smirked and said, “Yeah love you too bud.” She ruffled his fur and left her room her door ajar so Lion could wander in and out.  
The only way I’m not normal is family wise. I live in a foster home with several other kids. I’ve lived here since I was six years old and grew up in the younger half of the family. Lion came with me because he’s been my cat since I was five though he was my original mother’s cat. I kind of have learned to thrive in chaotic situations after living here for so long.
Sophie was looking for her backpack for school. She didn’t know why it wasn’t in her room with all her other things but she could chalk that up to it getting mixed up with some other moving boxes. She looked in the closest room to her own bedroom, being her brothers Timmy and Snap’s room, and saw a familiar bag strap sticking out from under the blue bed while Timmy’s Golden Retriever puppy, Sparky, was lying on the bed. She grabbed it and pulled it out from under the bed. “Timmy Turner! Can you please explain what MY backpack was doing under YOUR bed?!” Sophie yelled.
A brown haired, blue eyed, buck-toothed boy poked his head into the room. “I needed crayons for my comic book and you have the best crayons in the house,” Timmy explained like it was obvious.
This is Timothy Turner or “Timmy” for short. He’s older than me by a few months and has been here longer than any of us. See when he was two, our foster parents moved next door and noticed something not so good. His real parents were neglecting him and Timmy had a caretaker that was abusing him. So Cosmo and Wanda, who are our parents, did what was best and called social services on them. Cosmo and Wanda eventually adopted Timmy as their son and the rest is pretty much history. The weird thing about this story though is that we think Timmy may have had a twin sibling. Keyword: Think. There were two cribs in the house although since there wasn’t any record of Timmy’s birth and no other evidence that there was another baby in the house, it’s just theory for now. Sparky was Timmy’s tenth birthday present. Mom and Dad got him in March so he’s just a puppy.
Timmy acts like what you think a “typical” ten-year-old boy is. He likes gross things like dead frogs and literally has no idea how girls work to point I’m pretty sure he thinks females have a whole different language. He can be a selfish jerk sometimes but he can be a good brother too. We play video games together a lot and he once told I’m the sister he didn’t know he could wish for.
“Dude. Stop stealing my crayons!” Sophie said rolling her eyes.
“Then buy me some fancy ones like yours.”
“Right. Like I have my own money. We are literally both 10.” Sophie said deadpanned. Sophie was checking her box for missing crayons. Okay, everything seemed in order except. Hang on. Something was wrong with her blues. “Slate, Sky, Navy, Indigo, Cobalt, Teal, Ocean, Peacock, Azure, Cerulean, Lapis, Spruce, Stone, Aegean, Berry, Denim, Admiral, Sapphire, Arctic…. Hey. Where’s my blue crayon? I have all my other blues but not the normal blue one.” Sophie said looking up from her crayon box after counting them.
“Oh yeah! Nerd-tron borrowed it for his science junk notes,” Timmy said getting his own backpack for school.
“Ugh, you gotta be kidding me with this!” Sophie groaned as she stomped to the room next door and knocked.
“Jimmy! I need my crayon! You know I hate having an incomplete box!” Sophie waited for a few minutes before Jimmy opened the door and Jimmy’s mechanical dog Goddard suddenly ran by her legs.
“Oh hey, Sophie. What did you need again?” Jimmy asked.
“My blue crayon. You stole it from Tim who stole it from me.” Sophie explained.
“Oh, that was your crayon! No wonder it was such high quality!” Jimmy said.
“Yeah, so can I have it back?” Sophie asked.
“Of course! Let me get it for you.” Jimmy said as he started to search his desk area. Sophie followed him into his and ZIM’s shared room.
That’s James Neutron or “Jimmy” for short. He’s older than me by about a year and came here shortly after Timmy did. Nobody's quite sure what happened to his parents but Mom and Dad found him just wandering in traffic and took him to CPS. They did find some of his relatives on his father’s side but nobody took him because he’s apparently some sort of “bad omen” or something, so mom and dad took him in. It was then they were like “Well we already got the two kids, why not open up a foster home for more?” So he kinda started the whole Vanguard Home for Wayward Children in a way. He built Goddard when he was around six so it was a year before I got there.  
Jimmy is super smart, probably the smartest of all of us entirely being skilled in several different fields of science already. Though this can be annoying when he acts like a know it all and won’t admit when he makes a clear mistake. He stays mostly serious and doesn’t really play too much with us. Mostly because of Timmy. Timmy annoys him. However, he acts like a leader to us and takes care of us so that’s pretty good.
“Ah! Here it is!” Jimmy said holding up the crayon.
“Thanks, Jim. You’re a peach!” Sophie said as she put it in her bag.
“No problem. See you downstairs.” Jimmy said as he grabbed his bag and headed out. Sophie also started to head out starting to recount her crayons until she bumped into a teenage boy with black hair and ice blue eyes.
“Ow sorry, Danny…” Sophie said grinning sheepishly.  Danny rubbed his head as he stood up with his Bulldog, Cujo’s leash in hand.
“It’s cool Soph I was just gonna take Cujo out real quick. Hold on. You got a smudge on your face.” Danny said trying to wipe it off.  
“Mom c’mon stop!” Sophie whined as she tried to squirm out his grasp.
Danny groaned and said “Sophie. If you just hold still this would be over in a second.”
A high-pitched male voice called to them interrupting the squabble. “Danny! Sophie! What type of eggs do you want for breakfast?”
“Scrambled, please! And can I have hot chocolate to drink SB?” Sophie asked politely as she rushed to the banister to get away from Danny, making him sigh shaking his head.
“Of course sweetheart! Danny! What about you?” SB called back from the kitchen.
“I’ll take sunny side up SB!” Danny said as he and Cujo walked down the stairs. Sophie watched SB’s elderly cat Gary go downstairs followed by Lion and Sparky.
Those were two of my older brothers Daniel Fenton/”Danny” for short and Spencer Bob Sawyer-Patterson or “SB” for short. They both came here not too long after Timmy and Jimmy.
Danny is 14 and a freshman in high school. His parents were great scientists but died tragically in a lab accident when he was around four-ish. While his sister’s Jazz and Dani went to an all girls home Danny was not allowed to follow them making him end up here. Soon after he got here Mom and Dad got him a bulldog named Cujo to help him cope.
Danny is a really kind older brother. He’s kind of one of our parents second in command. So much so we actually call him mom because he always scolding us for doing the stupid things we do and wiping crap from our faces like you just saw. Danny always groans when we call him that even though he tells groan-worthy puns in return. Though we all know he secretly likes us calling him that as a term of endearment.
SB is 20 and currently going to culinary school while he lives here at home with us. Like Jimmy, we don’t actually know what happened to his parents. Every time he’s asked about it SB just bawls his eyes out. So we just stopped asking. All we know about his parents is that they are the ones that took SB to get his cat Gary, who has lived so long none of us know how old he is. Not even SB who got him as a full grown cat. Timmy swears he’s immortal while I’m just hoping we don’t come home from school one day and find him under a sofa “sleeping”.
SB is super sweet to all of us though he can be a little clueless and super innocent at times. Though I think he knows that strangely enough. Mom and Dad let him cook the meals for all of us cause he’s just such a good cook. He even makes all our lunches for school which takes so long he actually gets up at 4:00 AM to take his time making them. He’s definitely more of an early bird than any of us.
“Danny! Hurry up! We gotta leave in 30 minutes!” a black haired and violet-eyed teenage goth girl called from downstairs. Danny got to the bottom of the stairs with Cujo in hand and Sophie followed close behind.
“I know Sam. I just gotta take Cujo out to pee.” Danny said as he kissed her cheek before going outside.
“Morning dad,” Sophie said as she passed Sam to get to the kitchen.
“Good morning to you too son,” Sam said as she bumped the back of Sophie’s head.
Sophie went into the kitchen where she saw her brother SB with his curly dyed bright yellow hair with his original ginger hair peeking out and bright blue-eyes putting food down in front of her other older brother with dyed pink hair and dark brown eyes named Patrick. Jimmy and Timmy were already in the kitchen racing each other in an egg eating race. “Morning SB. Morning Pat-Pat.” Sophie said as she kissed both of their cheeks.
“Morning Soph-a-Loaf! Your breakfast is almost ready!” SB said cheerfully as he put down a fruit salad down for Sam who just walked in with her spider-shaped bag.
“Thanks, SB,” Sophie said sitting down next to Patrick who was scarfing down his food loudly which went along so nicely with Timmy and Jimmy’s muffled yelling. Sophie giggled as Sam pinched the bridge of her nose.
SB put a hand on her shoulder and asked “Tea?” Sam nodded quickly as SB poured her a cup of earl gray tea.
That is my sister Samantha Manson or “Sam” for short and my brother Patrick Star. They both came here about a few months after Danny and SB. Both have connections to Danny and SB too. Sam has been Danny’s best friend since kindergarten and now she is his girlfriend. Patrick has also been SB’s best friend since kindergarten.
Sam is the same age and grade as Danny. Her parents tried to force her into a life of fame and fortune that she frankly never wanted. So much so she ran away from her parents and ended up here. She and Danny just kind of clicked and got together by the end of middle school. Mom and Dad were pretty accepting of this. They just ask Danny and Sam make sure if and when they do something they are either out of the house, the entire family but them is out of the house, or lock the door which I’m still not sure what they mean by that. Do they mean kiss? Cause they’ve kissed in front of us before. Like more than once.
While we call Danny “Mom” we call Sam “Dad” a lot as an inside joke between all us. If Danny mothers us by taking care of our injuries and wiping stuff off our faces then Sam fathers us by punishing us when we do something wrong. Like when one of my older brothers, Manny,  “wandered” into a Victoria Secret to see girls. Even Danny knew that he was a dead man when Sam went to fish him out. I do still look up to her as one of my female role models. I mean she so strong-willed and passionate that I kinda wanna be like her when I’m older.
Patrick is 22 and currently going through community college though he’s not that great at it. Not that he’s stupid, he’s just a little slow. His parents have been out of the picture for a while so his older sister was taking care of him. A few years later he said his sister got “lost in the tide”. Whatever that means. He also has a pet a rock named Rocky that he randomly just found in the park one day and took it home with him.
Patrick’s such a sweetheart and really tries hard for us despite his faults like him being slow and kinda lazy too. Seriously he like sleeps a lot. I think I tend to pick up habits from my siblings cause I swear I have fallen asleep in some weird places just like him. Mom and Dad depend on him to feed the pets while SB feeds us.
Patrick got up and started putting down the food bowls for the pets after scarfing down his breakfast. He put down a bowl of nuts and bolts for Goddard, three bowls of big dog for Sparky, Boodles, and Perrito, a bowl of medium dog food for Cujo, two bowls of cat food for Gary and Lion, he put some sprinkles on Rocky, put out a muffin for Minimoose, and he put out a bowl of clams for Grudge. Goddard, Sparky, Gary, and Lion were already eating. Danny came in with Cujo and Cujo made a dash for his bowl as SB put down Danny’s and Sophie’s eggs. As SB poured Sophie’s hot chocolate into a mug, a tan boy with messy brown hair and green eyes rubbing his eyes sleepily came into the kitchen.
“Morning Tak!” Sophie said chipperly.
“Subah mere pyaare parivaar.” (Translation: ‘Morning my lovely family.’ {Hindi}) Tak said obviously not being too terribly awake as he made his way to the toaster. He spent a minute staring at it before he started to hit it. “Why. Won’t. This. Cursed. Machine. Work!”
Danny promptly went and stopped Tak from hitting it. “Tak. Leave the toaster alone. If you want toast so much then just sit next to Sophie and I’ll make it for you but Tak... the toaster isn’t even on.” Danny calmly explained.
“Oh…” Tak mumbled blushing as he sat next to Sophie. Sophie giggled and kissed his cheek.
That’s my brother Tak Pupanunu. He’s 13 and came here about a year after Danny, SB, Sam, and Patrick. He was the first one of us to come from a different country which he was raised in India. As far as we know his parents gave him up at one of the shrines and was adopted by his Uncle Jibolba and his adopted older brother Lok. However, Jibolba started to get sick and had to stay in the hospital most of the time. They moved to America so Jibolba could get better care. With Lok already being of age and Tak wasn’t it was inevitable he would be put into foster care. Tak is still allowed to visit Jibolba and Lok so it’s all good.
Tak’s gotten a good grasp on English though he still isn’t used to the technology. He’s a lot more mature than people give him credit for though he has been dragged into the childish side of the family by me, Timmy, and Snap before too. I was really scared when I first got here but Tak really helped me and actually treated me like a person unlike most of the legal people I had to go through to get here.
Now, this is where stuff gets kind of complicated so listen up. There was a very short pause between when Tak came and when the next kid came. Like maybe a month or so. Then Mom and Dad got five kids in a month. Like no joke. The first week were my brothers ZIM and GIR, the second week was my brother Manny, the third week was my sister Jenny, and the fourth week was my brother Blik. All of that in a row. It’s kind of insane how it happened.
“Good Morning my HORRIBLE family!” said a boy with light green skin, lavender eyes, and black hair strolled into the kitchen.
Sam rolled her eyes as she handed Tak his toast. “Morning ZIM. Did you take your meds this morning?” ZIM paused before shaking his head no.
“Zion Issac Martinez! You are supposed to take those every day.” Danny scolded.
ZIM looked down kicking the floor and mumbled out an apology. Danny sighed as he got him the right amount of pills and a cup of juice. ZIM took them without any protest.
Sophie then realized something. “Hey ZIM? Where’s GIR?”
ZIM looked at Sophie and said, “Well I did think he was following me down the stairs.” Suddenly everyone heard a loud squeaking noise. Sophie suddenly went to the stairs and caught a little five-year-old with bright blue eyes and long curly black hair.
“Hi, mama!” GIR chipperly said. Sophie sighed as a plush moose started floating around her.
“Thanks, Minimoose. Your muffin is on the counter.” Minimoose squee-ed happily as he flew into the kitchen. Sophie carried GIR into the kitchen with her.
“ZIM! You need to watch your baby brother better!” Sophie said as he put GIR in one of three booster seats and getting a bowl of Cheerios for him to eat.
“Not my fault he can’t walk downstairs.” ZIM shot back as Minimoose somehow ate that muffin in one swift motion.
Those are my brothers Zion Issac Martinez or “ZIM” for short, Greggory Ian Ramirez/“GIR” for short, and their robot Minimoose. ZIM is 12 while GIR is only five. GIR actually came here when he was pretty much a newborn. Oh, where to begin with these two. See ZIM was born to his mom as a really sick baby and he still is kind of sick but it’s better than when he was a toddler. I think it’s a sickness that affects his stomach and his liver so he can’t eat right and makes his skin this sickish greenish hue I call ‘I’m about to puke.’ green.
Anyway, their mom died shortly after GIR was born and with no father in the picture ZIM & GIR’s cousins took custody of them. They were abusive towards ZIM and didn’t take care for GIR. Eventually they just kinda got bored of toying with ZIM and listening to GIR’s cries that they just dropped them off here and didn’t look back. ZIM soon built Minimoose to care for both of them with daily reminders for ZIM to take his meds and keeping an eye on GIR.
ZIM is a bit… much? Oh, how do I even describe him? He’s brash, overconfident, and arrogant literally thinking he’s better than every one of us and better than anyone that he’ll ever meet. I have a theory that it’s because of him being bullied for being this sickly that he just ended up like this. He’s also really smart like Jimmy he just can’t really focus on a project for too long. I think mom once said after bringing him home from his doctor that he has ADHD or something like that.  ZIM is a good guy. Really he is. It's just really, really, REALLY hard to find the good in him. He does have his moments though. As for GIR well… I can literally describe him using two words. Sunshine and Sugar. Make of that what you will.
“We should probably teach GIR how to properly walk downstairs at some point,” Jimmy pointed out.
“We could probably cut his hair and he would be fine.” Timmy also pointed out as Sophie got out a brush and gasped.
“Absolutely not! His hair is a gift to society and should never be cut!” She started to brush GIR’s hair and tie it back into pigtails as GIR happily ate his Cheerios.
“So are you gonna brush his hair every single day?” Tak asked teasingly.
“I will if it means preserving his beauty!” Sophie said confidently.  
“What are we talking about?” a boy with tan skin, chocolate brown eyes with a scar over one of them, and curly chocolate black hair walked in with his bag.
SB handed him a plate with a sausage smothered in hot sauce. “Soph-a-Loaf got offended by the idea of cutting GIR-Bear’s hair.”
“I don’t see what the big deal is? It’s just a haircut to make him look shiny and clean!” Patrick said clapping.
“Of course it’s a big deal! How else is GIR gonna get all the ladies in his kindergarten class? He’s stinking handsome with his hair.” The boy said ruffling up GIR’s hair as GIR giggled and the boy took a bite of his sausage.
“Thank you, Manny for seeing my point,” Sophie said.
“Anytime Mi Amor,” Manny said winking at Sophie. Sophie groaned and rolled her eyes.
That’s my brother Manuel Pablo Gutierrez O’Brian Equihua Rivera or “Manny” for short. He’s 13 years old and actually is the second one of us to come from a different country. That being Mexico. His parents got divorced when he was really little and lived with his father and grandfather. However, it was deemed an unsafe living environment for Manny to live in so he was sent here. Both his parents and grandfather do still have visiting rights so that’s good at least.
Like Tak, he adapted to speaking English pretty fast and unfortunately has developed quite a habit of flirting like I mentioned with the whole Victoria Secret incident. Also, he just likes rebelling against authority just for the fun of it. Don’t get me wrong he’s just as protective as all my other brothers but he can be a bit obnoxious sometimes.
“What? Can’t handle my charm huh?” Manny said wiggling his eyebrows.
“Yeah, something like that…” Sophie mumbled.
Manny narrowed his eyes and squeezed her sides as he said “¡Ataque sorpresa!” (Translation: ‘Surprise Attack!’ {Spanish})
Sophie let out an inhuman noise and bumped her knee on the table. “You little ffff,” Sophie growled blushing.
“Sophia. Language. Little ears are listening.” Danny said pointing to GIR.
“...fluffer.” Sophie finished with a bite in her voice. Manny laughed along with Timmy and ZIM as he high-fived them. “Why do I suffer this type of abuse in this household?” Sophie grumbled.  
“Boys leave your sister alone. Just cause she’s younger than you doesn’t give you the right to pick on her just at random. At least be consistent if you are gonna tease her,” a teenage girl with red hair, blue eyes, and a robotic brace on her right arm and leg scolded as she walked into the kitchen. The boys rolled their eyes and each mumbled out an apology.
Sophie smiled and said “Thanks, Jenny.”
“Anytime Soph. Say, Jim? Can you loosen up the brace on my arm? I think it’s too stiff and I can’t really move it around that well.” Jenny explained.
“Sure thing Jen!” Jimmy said getting out a screwdriver from his backpack.
“You keep a screwdriver in your bag?” Sam asked raising an eyebrow. Jimmy just shrugged and got to work.
That’s my one of my other older sisters Jennifer Wakeman or “Jenny” for short. She’s 16 and is the oldest of us girls besides Mom. Jenny and her mom got into a really bad car crash that left Jenny’s mom paralyzed from the waist down and in a wheelchair. Jenny wasn’t hurt nearly as bad but it left her right arm and leg paralyzed and unusable without special braces. Jenny can still visit her mom who now lives in an assisted living facility. She lived in all girls home before being transferred here.
Despite the trauma she’s been through, Jenny is a super sweet and upbeat person if not a little naive at times too. She’s usually the one who takes all of us shopping for clothes whenever we need it. She’s super into fashion and literally spends hours on the computer researching the latest trends so she can be a designer when she’s an adult.
“Finished!” Jimmy said as he pulled the screwdriver away and put it back in his bag. Jenny flexed her arm and sighed happily grabbing a granola bar to eat.
“Much better. Thanks, Jimmy!”
“No problem Jen.”
“By the way after school, we need to go to the mall for some new summer clothes,” Jenny stated munching on the granola bar.
“And who’s exactly paying for this?” a man with brown skin, black hair tied back in a man bun, and goldish eyes asked as he walked into the kitchen with a newspaper under his arm.
“Good Morning Blik!” Jenny said cheerily as she hugged his arm. “I was kinda hoping you would?” Jenny asked batting her eyes at him. Blik side eyed Jenny and it was then decided by Sophie that her sister needed help.
Sophie tugged at Blik’s pants and said in a cutesy voice “Pwease Bliky? We are growing children. We need new clothes.”
Blik blushed at the nickname, sighed, and picked Sophie up placing her on his hip. “Alright fine. I will pay for the clothes.”
That is our oldest brother Blik Cramdilly. He’s 25 and just finished college this year but moved back to help Mom and Dad take care of us all. His father ditched him and his mom after he and his brothers were born. Unfortunately, their mother passed away when they were kids and their grandmother passed away when they were teenagers. This led to them being unable to inherit their massive fortune and while his brothers, Waffle and Gordon, had family members to take care of them due to both their father's side of the family, Blik did not. This is how he ended up in foster care. Six months later he did inherit his fortune along with his two brothers before they went off to college. However, Blik remained loyal to our strange family and would come back to visit us until he graduated. He then came back home to help raise us and help with the finances.
Blik can be a real grump sometimes. And loud. Very loud too. He likes buying things for himself so he can seem very powerful to those who try to cross our family. Even though he acts like it’s the worst thing in the world I think that he secretly likes buying us things. I don’t know, he just seems like he’s in good mood after seeing me with the tablet he bought me for drawing or when SB thanks him for the new set of pots and pans Blik got for him. He also is the one who keeps track of our doctor visits and allergies surprisingly enough. I think that shows he’s at least somewhat concerned for our wellbeings.
“Ugh, do we have to go clothes shopping AGAIN? We already have okay clothes.” Tak complained.
Jenny sighed and booped Tak’s nose. “Someday dear brother you will understand the importance of fashion.”
Blik put Sophie down and said, “Alright does everyone have their backpacks?” He was met with a chorus of Yes’s, Yeah’s, Yup’s, and Duh’s.
“Alright then. SB give everyone their lunches.”
“Okey Dokey!” SB said cheerfully as he handed everyone a personalized lunch box.
The lunch boxes were hanging up on a rack in the kitchen. Each lunch box was a different color to tell who’s was who’s. Blue for Jimmy, Pink for Timmy, Green for Danny, Violet for Sam, Yellow for SB, Lime for Patrick, Orange for Tak, Magenta for ZIM, Teal for GIR, Brown for Manny, Bright Blue for Jenny, and Light Pink for Sophie.
“By the way, your sushi is in the fridge whenever you eat your lunch today,” SB said looking back at Blik who was getting coffee.
“Thanks, SB.” Blik said taking a long sip of that coffee from a ‘Nope.’ mug.
A frazzled looking woman with pink curly hair and wearing a yellow blouse came into the kitchen. “Okay! It is almost time for school! Is everyone in the kitchen? Let me get a headcount,” she said as she started silently started to count.
That’s our mom Wanda Cosma. Her dad runs a successful garbage company and she’s the heiress so we get funds from her dad. It’s pretty cool. She may run the company if she ever gets sick of being a stay at home mom which I don’t think is happening anytime soon.
She’s pretty much our responsible parent. You know the usual stuff. Stopping us from doing stupid things and making sure we don’t go to the hospital more than once a month each. That kind of stuff. She tends to play bad cop in actually disciplining us instead of letting us run wild and free. She’s actually really great at balancing all of us and making sure we get the attention we deserve and/or crave.
“Wait there is only 13 of you and Poof is upstairs with your father so which nine are we missing?” Wanda asked.
Blik looked at what lunch boxes are left. “Indigo, Aqua, Fuschia, Bubblegum Pink, Red, Gray, Bright Green, Powder Blue, and Moss Green.”
Wanda was trying to connect the colors to the kids as Sophie spoke up. “Snap isn’t down here.”
“And Boodles didn’t come in for breakfast…. so Bunsen isn’t up yet either.” Jimmy deduced.
“Neither did Perrito so Dora isn’t up,” Jenny added.
“Meaning Marinette and Tikki aren’t up either,” Sam concluded.
“Now that you mention it… I don’t remember seeing Adrien or Plagg get up either.” Danny said.
“Well, I know Vendetta and Charlotte are up,” Manny said shrugging.
“Where are they then?” Wanda asked with her hands on her hips.
“In the backyard with Grudge doing… something? I don’t know. Vendetta is a weird kid.” Manny said throwing his arms up like ‘what do you want me to do about it?’
Wanda sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose as she walked out of the kitchen and into the foyer. “Snap White! Bunsen Knai’livac! Dora Marquez! Marinette Dupain-Cheng! Tikki Dupain-Cheng! Adrien Agreste! Plagg Agreste! Charlotte Winfrey! Vendetta Mortcheva! It is time for school! Come to the kitchen!” Wanda waited for a moment before she heard feet running from the downstairs bathroom and down the stairs.
From the downstairs bathroom was a pale teenage girl with blueish-black short pigtails blue eyes, and freckles carrying a five-year-old girl with fair skin, short dark red hair, and matching blue eyes. The two coming down the stairs was a very lightly tanned teenage boy with blond hair and green eyes carrying a five-year-old boy with dark brown skin, messy black hair, and matching green eyes.
The two teens nearly crashed into each other as they both said with a slight French accent: “Sorry mom!”
Wanda shook her head. “What were you doing that took you so long? Marinette? Adrien?”
“Tikki’s hair was a real mess so I’ve been messing with it so it stays flat for the day,” Marinette said as she let Tikki down to get a poptart from SB. Wanda nodded to Marinette before looking at Adrien and Plagg for their excuse.
“Plagg was being a butt and whining about going to school so he was not being cooperative this morning,” Adrien said bluntly.
“SCHOOL IS BORING!” Plagg yelled from Adrien’s arms.
“Plagg sweetie. If GIR and Tikki have to go to kindergarten then so do you. As much as you want it to be so, Adrien can’t carry everywhere.” Wanda explained calmly.
Plagg pouted and said “Fine but there better be Camembert in my lunch.”
Wanda nodded and looked at SB who was giving the Bubblegum Pink and Red lunch boxes to Marinette and Tikki. “Oh right!” SB said as he grabbed the Gray and Bright Green lunch boxes and walking over to Adrien and Plagg. He handed Adrien the Gray lunch box before kneeling down to Plagg’s height giving him the Bright Green lunch box.
“And I put extra Camembert so you can be an extra good boy today!” SB smiled.
Plagg grinned hopping up and down. “Cool! Thanks, SB!”
If you couldn’t tell the girls are Marinette Dupain-Cheng and her little sister Tikki while the boys are Adrien Agreste and his little brother Plagg. Adrien is 15, Marinette is 14, and Tikki and Plagg are both five years old just like GIR. All four of them are originally from France actually and came around the same time about a few months before Poof was born so it was a little stressful for mom but dad handled it really well. Marinette and Adrien are also dating too and follow the same rules as Danny and Sam.
Marinette and Tikki’s parents tragically died in a car crash on a really rainy night while Marinette was babysitting Tikki. Her parents always dreamed of moving to America with their daughters to start a franchise of bakeries so that���s what Marinette told her grandmother, who really was too busy traveling to take care of her granddaughters. So she came over to America with them and dropped them both off here and they stayed here ever since.
Adrien and Plagg’s story is a bit more troubling. See shortly after Plagg was born Adrien’s mother went missing and Adrien’s father became more and more closed off towards his sons. His father wanted the Agreste name to be absolutely perfect with no smudges what so ever. So he forced Adrien to be a model and controlled what Adrien did, where he would go, who he would talk to, and even what he ate. Plagg though wasn’t as treated as “nice” as Adrien was. Their father didn’t see Plagg as his son due to his skin color and locked him away in a back bedroom. Adrien was the only one allowed to care for him and this caused Plagg to become inseparable with Adrien. After Adrien’s bold move of divorcing his father, he and Plagg were moved to be closer to their mother’s friends, the Bourgeois’, who lived in America leading them to come here.
Marinette is a lot like Jenny actually. She’s sweet, outgoing, and very into fashion. She’ll be the one most likely to help Jenny shop for clothes for us. This is because the boys don’t care except for Adrien, all Sam knows is Hot Topic, I get distracted by the simplest things, Dora is still new to this “teenage girl” thing, and Tikki, Vendetta, and Charlotte are way too young to understand. Though her differences from Jenny, Marinette is a bit more awkward in social situations and way clumsier than any of us. She has her moments of confidence though. Especially when she’s sticking up for Tikki or any of us for that matter.
Tikki is the polar opposite of both GIR and Plagg oddly enough. For a five-year-old, she is incredibly calm and quiet. Like to strange level. Of course, she’s extremely kind and loving towards us. Sometimes though she just quietly follows us around. She does this for cookies. We give her a cookie and she goes away to follow someone else. We know we shouldn’t be feeding her habit but that’s literally all we can do. She won’t accept anything else. The only one that doesn’t seem to mind is Marinette because she’s used to this. Tikki is a really sweet girl though.
Adrien is definitely a people person during parties but he’s actually much of an introvert due to his father’s “brainwashing”. We’ve been helping him get more freedom though. This has turned him into a more fun loving person. Oh sure he’s still kinda serious but he’s getting better. Unfortunately, Danny has gotten him into saying puns and it’s gotten kind of annoying. Still, Adrien is an extremely kind person despite what his father has done to him over the years and is being a big help to us with the smaller kids.
Plagg apparently used to be a very silent and obedient child under his father’s rule according to Adrien. Yeah... I don’t buy it for a second. To me at his best Plagg is carefree and sarcastic, at his worst he’s a lazy and sour little kid. He has become Timmy, Manny, and Snap’s protege when it comes to pranks. It sucks but it makes him happy so why not? Plagg is also an extremely picky eater. He will not eat anything unless we give him Camembert cheese with it. It’s kinda weird.  
“By the way Mari? Tikki? Where’s Dora? Don’t tell me she’s still asleep.” Wanda said.
“Oh no. Perrito was whining earlier this morning so Dora took him out earlier than she usually does.” Marinette said as she bit into a banana.
Adrien came and wrapped an arm around Mari. “I think it was like six o’clock when she left cause I was in the bathroom with Plagg.”
“Well do you know when she’ll be back?” Wanda asked. Marinette tried to remember as Tikki tugged on her foster mother’s pant leg. “Yes, Tikki? What is it?”
Tikki starred at Wanda chewing on her poptart until she finally said: “Dora said she would be back before school.” Just as Tikki said that in walked a 12-year-old girl with tanned skin, long chocolate brown hair, and brown eyes holding a leash with a chocolate lab at the end of it.
“Lo Siento mama. Perrito really had to go to the bathroom,” (Translation: ‘Sorry mom.’ {Spanish}) the girl said.
Wanda sighed and said “It’s alright Dora. Just remember to take your phone with you next time you go out with Perrito. Okay?”
“Si, mama.” (Translation: ‘Yes, mom.’) Dora said letting Perrito off the leash to get his food. “By the way Patrick, could I have one of those little cookies for Perrito? He had a hard time going outside.” Dora asked. Patrick nodded as he got a special biscuit for Perrito and put it in Perrito’s food.
“Dora! Here’s your lunch box.” SB said handing the Fuschia lunch box to her.
Dora grinned and said “Gracias SB!” (Translation: ‘Thanks, SB!’)
That’s Dora Marquez. She’s 12 years old and roughly came here about a few months after I did. Like Manny, she came here from Mexico and moved to the states when she was around eight years old with her parents, her little brother and sister, her grandmother, and Perrito. When she turned nine her parents had to go back on an expedition of the rainforest to help some injured animals so while her grandmother and siblings stayed in the city, Dora and Perrito moved in with us.
Dora is a super kind person. Like to the point that it’s almost sickly sweet and I don’t think I’ve ever seen her get angry at like anything. She is kind of a tomboy like me so I look up to her a lot and like to go on adventures with her. Though lately she’s been getting more and more girly. I mean I don’t mind it so much it’s just that I either have to go with my sisters who are girlier than I am or with the boys who can be very, very annoying. Otherwise, though Dora is probably the nicest sister I could ask for.
“Dora? Did you see Bunsen or Snap get up for school?” Blik asked as Dora turned to him.
“Well I did see Bunsen’s door closed but I’m not sure about Snap,” Dora said shaking her head.
“Oh. Snap is still asleep. At least he was when I left our room.” Timmy said casually.
Wanda and Blik both facepalmed. “Sport, if he was still asleep why didn’t you wake him up?” Wanda asked.
“I dunno. I’m not his keeper!” Timmy argued.
Blik mumbled an ‘Oh my god.’ as Wanda asked: “Can one of you please go and remind your brothers that you can’t sleep in on a school day?”
“I’ll do it!” Sophie said raising her hand and then running upstairs.
“Thank you, sweetie!” Wanda called after her.
I guess it’s my turn to tell you about me huh? Like I said at the beginning my name is Sophie Hathaway and I’m 10 years old. I used to live in Hawaii with my biological family and we were all pretty happy. That was until my mother died when I was three then our family just started to drift apart. By the time I was six years old everyone was kinda placed where they needed to be and while I was supposed to go with my uncle, he was traveling too much to take care of me. So that’s how I ended up here a few years after Blik came but before Dora, Marinette, Tikki, Adrien, and Plagg. I still see some of my older siblings often enough and my dad comes to visit us once a month with my siblings Skylar, Silas, Liv, Nate, and Stef so it’s okay I guess.
I was really scared of everyone when I first got here though. The smells and sounds were all different and while I was used to having a big family these people were basically strangers to me. Also, I spoke Hawaiian primarily in my old house and now I am forced into English daily now which six-year-old me did not approve of at all. However, they were understanding knowing I needed time and over that time I learned to trust them which was very hard for me to do. Now I couldn’t imagine my life without them.
Sophie finally made it upstairs and was pulled from her thoughts when she heard the bathroom faucet running.
“Maybe Snap or Bunsen is already up?” Sophie thought as she knocked on the bathroom door. “Hey, is someone in here?” A few seconds later a man with neatly combed green hair holding a little baby boy with a tuft of curly purple hair and purple pajamas came out of the bathroom. “Morning Dad! Morning Poof!” Sophie cooed at her little brother.
“Morning Muncha-Bunch,” Cosmo said kissing the top of her head.
That’s our dad Cosmo Cosma. He eloped with our mom! His mom never did forgive him for that but it’s fine. She stopped being mad at our mom when we came into the picture. She’s like the super cool grandma that brings us gifts like all the time.
Cosmo is our fun parent that likes to take us on trips and out to eat a lot. Though Wanda seems to rain him in when he goes too far because he can be a little careless at times but he definitely loves us. Like I said he’s the good cop to Wanda’s bad cop. He usually sneaks us dessert when Wanda scolds us too hard.
And that little baby he’s holding is our baby brother Poof. Poof is Mom and Dad’s only biological kid but despite that, they still love us equal. Poof is only like a year old so he’s the youngest of all of us
He is literally the sweetest thing. We all take turns looking after him. Except for Vendetta, Charlotte, GIR, Tikki, and Plagg. Four out the five of them should never be trusted with babies. I mean Tikki is arguably okay but everyone else is a disaster waiting to happen so just trust me on this. Don’t.
“So what are you doing upstairs? I thought you guys were ready for school?” Cosmo asked bouncing a gurgling Poof.
“Well most of us are but Snap, Bunsen, Charlotte, and Vendetta aren’t. They didn’t come downstairs.” Sophie explained.  
“Well, I saw Snap was still in bed with his door open and your sisters are outside but not sure about Bunsen,” Cosmo said tapping his chin.
“Thanks, Dad! I’m gonna go figure this out.” Sophie said.
“Okay. Get your brothers up though. We are on the clock!” Cosmo said patting her head before heading downstairs with Poof gurgling.
“I will!” Sophie called back.
She made her way to Timmy and Snap’s room to see her light blond brother hugging his pillow dreaming. Sophie sat down on his bed and started to gently shake his shoulder. “Snap. C’mon you gotta get up. We gotta go to school.”
Snap groaned and gripped his pillow tighter. “Mmmm five more minutes Buckette…” He said in his thick Bronx accent.
“No, you need to get up like right now,” Sophie said sensing the urgency of the situation. “We leave in literally 15 minutes.” Snap snored loudly to indicate the conversation was over. Sophie narrowed her eyes and said, “You leave me no choice dear brother.” Sophie pulled back her covers, slipped her hands under Snap’s light blue t-shirt, and tasered his sides.
Snap flipped the heck out and made a girlish squeal before falling out of bed. “What the heck Buckette?!” Snap yelled his bright blue eyes glaring at her.
“Told you I was left no other choice.” Sophie shrugged sticking out her tongue.
That’s one of my younger older brothers, Snap White. He’s 10 like me and Timmy though he’s a few months older than Timmy. He came here about six months after Poof was born. He originally came from a foster home in Greenland before moving to the states. Specifically the Bronx part of New York City which is where he gained his accent. So his speaking is a mix of West Greenlandic and English. He didn’t really enjoy being moved again so he acted out a lot which concerned my parents. He got super mad at a teacher for telling him his superhero clothes were ridiculous and put glue on their chair which Mom and Dad were not happy about. Then one day he saw me drawing and asked me if I was an artist. I said yes and suddenly he’s super cuddled up to me. Cut to a day later and we are basically best friends. He tells me that his cape is actually his old baby blanket and it’s the only thing that makes him feel secure. I told Mom and Dad and they took care of it. Since then Snap has been one of my closest brothers.
Snap can be really stubborn about things he thinks he’s entitled to like you just saw with the sleep problem. He’s always looking for ways to get out of boring things like adult parties or school and tries dragging us along with him. He is super clingy though like in a physical sense. He’ll cling to your arm, random hugs, hold your hand, etc. I think he may have abandonment issues but I don’t really wanna say anything to him since he’s just gonna deny them to be a “real man”.
“Þú ert að borga fyrir þetta.” (Translation: ‘You are going to pay for this.’ {West Greenlandic}) Snap glared as he put on his mask and cape.
Sophie laughed and shot back in Hawaiian, “Inā 'oe makemake i wale loaʻa i loko o ka wahi mua au makemake ole i kūpono ai i loko o ka hoʻokolokoloʻiaʻana” (Translation: ‘If you would have just gotten up in the first place I wouldn’t have resulted in the torture.’)
“I’m just saying when you walk through that door this afternoon you are dead,” Snap said as he put on his gloves and boots before walking out the door. Sophie just responded by blowing a raspberry at him. Now she was going towards Bunsen’s room.  
Sophie noticed the door was closed so she knocked on it. “Bunsen? You up? We gotta get to school.” After waiting for a minute Sophie quietly opened the door to see Bunsen’s St. Bernard puppy, Boodles, sitting at the door waiting to be let out for breakfast. “Okay, Boodles go get breakfast,” Sophie said pointing downstairs. Boodles barked and ran downstairs. Sophie quietly went into Bunsen’s room and shook his shoulder while he slept. “Bunsen we gotta go to school. Wake up.” Bunsen slowly woke up and grabbed his glasses rubbing his eyes.
“Sophie? What’s wrong? Why are you rushing me?”
“We need to go to school in like 15 minutes,” Sophie stated.
“WHAT?!” Bunsen screamed as he rushed out of bed and to put his school clothes on.
That’s one of the newest members of this family Bunsen Knai’livac. He’s 12 years old and originally came from Taiwan because his parents thought more opportunities would arise here. He’s still getting used to being with us and speaking English mostly instead of Chinese. He got here about two months ago but he’s made progress at least. The first thing he connected with was Boodles in a pet store so naturally, Mom and Dad got Boodles to give him some stability.  He still does have panic attacks about breaking the rules cause he grew up in such a strict household. We’ve been getting really good at calming him down and he’s even joined theater at school!
People who don’t really know Bunsen would describe him very loud and excitable which I mean is true to a certain degree. However, to us, we know him better than some strangers. He has the anxiety of letting his parents down constantly on his shoulders that he wouldn’t be a real functioning member of society. He can be a total theater nerd sometimes but for the most part, he’s pretty quiet and nice with the occasional bits of snark here and there.
“Ó, wǒ de shàngdì. Wǒmen yào chídàole wǒmen de lǎoshī huì shēngqì, māmā hé bàba huì shēngqì. Nàme tāmen bù zài xūyào wǒle!” (Translation: Oh my god. We are going to be late! Our teachers are going to be mad and Mom and Dad are going to be mad. Then they won't want me anymore! {Chinese}) Bunsen ranted off quickly as he got dressed.
Sophie sighed and put her hands on his shoulders to calm him down. “Bunsen it’s okay. You made a mistake. Nobody is gonna send you away for that Bunsie Boo.” Sophie kissed his nose to drive her point home.
Bunsen smiled a little and kissed her forehead. “Thanks, Soph.”
“You’re welcome. Now finish getting ready and get downstairs.” Sophie said going out of the room.
Sophie made her way downstairs with Snap close behind. She didn’t think much of it until Snap’s hands found his way to her sides and Sophie squealed and started laughing. “Snap! What are you doing?!”
“Hefnd er mín!” (Translation: Vengeance is mine! {West Greenlandic}) Snap shouted. Bunsen passed them giving his siblings a weird look as Snap tickled their sister and Sophie laughed like a doofus and clung to the stair railing.
“Jenny! Snap is trying to kill Sophie again!” Bunsen yelled as he entered the kitchen.
Jenny poked her head out and glared at Snap. “Snap! Leave your sister alone! Look at her! She’s dying!”
Snap groaned and rolled his eyes complying with his older sister’s request. “Fine!”
Snap continued to walk down the stairs smirking as Sophie panted and clung to the railing. “Oh thank the gods he stopped.”
Suddenly a knock came from the front door. “I’ll get it!~” SB called as he opened the front door.
A 10-year-old boy with poofy blond hair, hazel eyes, and wearing a dark brown aviator jacket with a glow stick bracelet is on his left wrist was standing there with a smile.
“Oh hello, Xavier! You here to go to school with us?”
“Yup! Managed to escape my stick in the mud parents. Is Sophie around?”
“Hey, Xavier!” Sophie waved as she laid on the stairs.
“What are you doing lying on the stairs?” Xavier asked before sitting next to her.
“Snap nearly killed me!” Sophie yelled loud enough for Snap to hear.
“Not my fault you are so sensitive!” Snap laughed from the kitchen.
“I mean he’s not wrong.” Xavier shrugged sheepishly as he sat next to her on the stairs. Sophie playfully hit his arm in response.
That’s my best friend Xavier. He’s 10 years old like me and is a week older than me. While he isn’t part of the family he might as well be. His parents are kind of overbearing so he likes coming over here more. I met him when his family was vacationing in Hawaii. Since then we’ve been inseparable. He was the one who helped me with my English and helped me to adjust to mainland America. Honestly, I couldn’t imagine living without him. He’s just always there for me and gets along with the family well. He’s kind of like the unofficial kid of the family where he’s part of the family but “legally” we aren’t responsible for him. So that’s pretty cool.
He’s super intelligent in the book smart kind of way. I remember when his family visited Hawaii and we became friends, he would read on the beach and I would just listen to him. Sometimes I would even fall asleep to him reading. Xavier is also 87% of my impulse control. Like if I didn’t have him, I’d probably would've died by now from a stupid decision.
“What? I’m just saying you are and there is nothing wrong that.” Xavier said putting up his hands in a defensive position.
“Ugh, you’ve spent too much time with this family. I swear to the gods. You are starting to sound like most of my brothers. You better not start selling me out to them.” Sophie scolded. “BLIK does that enough!”
“Hey! I have never done that in the four years you’ve lived here.” Blik argued as he walked into the room
“Yesterday you sold me out for a root beer to Danny!” Sophie argued.
“That wasn’t a sellout that was a trade. Very different. Now can you please get our sisters from the backyard so we can leave?” Blik smirked.
As Xavier said “Yup” Sophie let out a less enthusiastic, mumbled “Yeah.”
Blik grinned and said “Oh Timothy!~ Sophie needs-”
Sophie immediately hit his arm. “No. Shut up. I’m fine.”
Blik chuckled ruffling up her hair. “Fine then.”
“C’mon let’s go get them,” Sophie said getting off the stairs and heading towards the backyard with Xavier in tow. They walked into a pretty big backyard which has an above ground pool, a trampoline, a small playground, some swings hanging from trees, a sandbox, and a playpen for Poof to keep himself from roaming anywhere he pleases. It also has quite a lot of trees as well. Sophie spotted two girls around eight years old huddled in a corner doing… something? Sophie and Xavier both couldn’t tell what they were doing. They could only see the backs of the short, curly blonde hair of the peach skinned girl and the long, brown hair styled in messy pigtails of the much paler girl who seemed to be holding something.
“Um, Vendetta? Charlotte? Mom says to get inside. It’s time for school and Grudge still hasn’t eaten.” Sophie said pointing her thumb to the back door.
Both girls turned their heads around revealing the blonde girl’s bright blue eyes and the brunette girl’s dimmed green eyes.
“Okay Sophie!” the blonde girl said chipperly as she skipped over to hug Sophie’s waist. “Grudge made a new friend and me and Vendetta watched it!” Charlotte said bouncing up and down happily.
“What do you mean new frien- oh my god!” Xavier shouted as Vendetta came over holding her pet raccoon, Grudge, who had a snake in his mouth. A dead snake in his mouth. Lovely.
Sophie put her face into her hands and groaned. “Vendetta. You know what mom and dad have said about Grudge… erm… “making friends” with wild snakes,” Sophie censoring herself for the sake of Charlotte.
“Stupid Raccoon wanted to make a fiend.” Vendetta stated simply in her thick Bulgarian accent. “That is not mine or Charlotte’s fault.”
“Don’t you mean friend?” Xavier asked curiously.
“I said what I said.” Vendetta shot back rather rudely.  
Xavier gave a look to Sophie as Sophie sighed, “Look. I’m your big sister now so tell Grudge to drop his snake friend or fiend or whatever and get in the house so we can go to school.”
“Fine. Stupid Raccoon. Drop.” Vendetta commanded as Grudge spat out the snake.
“Yay! Time for school! Come on Vendetta!” Charlotte cheered as she grabbed Vendetta’s hand skipping into the house.
“Do not touch me you stupid blue girl!” Vendetta yelled as they both disappeared into the house.
Xavier turned his face back to Sophie and said: “I’m sorry but what the heck is wrong with your new sister?”
“Oh, so many things…” Sophie sighed shaking her head.
So like you just saw those are our new additions to the family Charlotte Winfrey, Vendetta Mortcheva, and Vendetta’s pet raccoon… yes, raccoon… Grudge. Charlotte and Vendetta are only eight years old and just got transferred here last month. They got transferred here from their old foster home in a place called Clamberg because the foster home was terrified of Vendetta and her and Charlotte are a package deal.
I’ll explain Charlotte first because really. She’s a lot easier to understand than Vendetta is.
Charlotte got put into the foster care system when she was super young. Both her parents died while attending a music festival outside of Vermont in a mass shooting, unfortunately. This caused Charlotte to be placed in Clamberg with her only known living relative, her grandmother Charlene. The sad thing is that Charlotte still doesn’t know her parents died. Charlene told her that they were both astronauts living up in a space station. Nobody has had the heart to tell her yet. Charlene got too sick to raise Charlotte so when she was six years old Charlotte was placed in the foster care system.
Charlotte is a super sweet girl. Like probably the sweetest you’ll ever meet. She loves everything in the world and everyone in it. Probably if you take her to Disney World she would be smiling the whole time and say hi to all the characters. Even the villains! She is a little… “slow”… sometimes though. She doesn’t quite understand what's happening most of the time unless someone, usually Vendetta, tells her.
Speaking of Vendetta, let's talk about her because oh boy. There’s a lot to talk about.
So as you noticed by her accent Vendetta is from Bulgaria. She moved to America when she was a toddler with both of her parents, her older sister Vasilika, and her twin sister Joanna. Soon after her parents had three more children. Vendetta’s younger twin brothers, Darian & Valko, and her baby sister Rosica. However starting after Darian and Valko were born, Vendetta’s father started to get more...abusive towards his wife and older daughters. Well, TWO of his older daughters. He never laid a hand on Joanna or any of his younger children. He did frequently hurt his wife Violetta and Vasilika but it was Vendetta who got the raw end of the deal. Vendetta’s father, if you can even call him that now, considered Vendetta his child from hell. It wasn’t just physical abuse either. When Vendetta was finally admitted to the foster after the incident (which I’ll get to in a minute) she was malnourished and was so dirty that initial reports had Vendetta’s skin and hair color way darker than it actually was.
About the incident. One night Vendetta’s “father” had been drinking quite a lot. Violetta tried to get him to stop for the children’s sake but that just made him angrier. He ended up shouting so loud he had woken up Vasilika, Vendetta, and Joanna and in a moment of panic, Vasilika grabbed the family gun. When the girls got downstairs that had found their father had just finished strangling their mother to death. When he saw his three daughters standing there witnessing him kill his wife. He was enraged and started moving towards Vasilika first and she ended up shooting him once in the head. He fell dead on the floor inches from his now dead wife. Joanna had broken down into tears. Vasilika had no idea what she had just done and just stood there in shock. But Vendetta… oh, Vendetta. She was furious. She began yelling at Vasilika for not doing that sooner. That they all could have been freed earlier if she would have thought of this. She yelled at Joanna to stop crying and blamed her for being the “perfect” one. She yelled at the corpses of her parents. Her mother for not being stronger and her father for being a complete asshole to his own wife and children. She even yelled at herself for being a ‘devil child.’  The only people she didn’t blame for this was her younger brothers and baby sister since they had nothing to do with this. Later in the early morning, Vasilika called the police and all six of them were put in the custody of CPS. Three of them scarred for life and three of them too young to understand what was happening.
After that Vendetta essentially disowned her sisters and refuses to talk to or about them. She doesn’t talk about her parents either. She still visits her younger siblings as long as Vasilika and Joanna aren’t there. When she got to the foster home in Clamberg she never played with the other kids and spent nights alone in the backyard. The entire staff and all of the children were terrified of her. Accidents started happening around the home and they blamed Vendetta but none of them could prove it. She even one night came back with a raccoon which was Grudge. He was trained to essentially be a house cat. This confused the staff for two reasons. One: Raccoons are not native to Clamberg. So where did she find this raccoon? Two: How did she even train this creature? The staff had no idea on either of these questions and they weren’t about to question Vendetta of all people so they let her keep Grudge. It was just the two of them for two years until Charlotte got there. She was the only person that wasn’t afraid of Vendetta and that struck a nerve with Vendetta. So Vendetta became Charlotte’s soul defender even though she still insulted Charlotte from time to time, though Charlotte clearly doesn’t mind.
Cut to a month ago where the Clamberg foster home had enough of Vendetta’s reign and sent her here far away from Clamberg. Charlotte just came with cause they are now a package deal.
Vendetta doesn't seem that bad as her previous foster home made her out to be. Sure she’s dark, sarcastic, weird, sometimes super mean, and cusses in Bulgarian thinking we can’t hear her when we can. She’s also super bright though and probably the smartest girl in the house. We just wish she would relax a little bit and realize we won’t let her get hurt here but we also realize she needs time and we will give her that.
...What? I told you Vendetta is a complicated creature with a complicated history.
“Let’s just go so we can finally get to school. Max is gonna chew the two of us out if we are late again.” Sophie said tiredly. Xavier nodded and followed her back into the house and into the kitchen. They stood next to Charlotte and Vendetta who was letting Grudge eat his clams from the palm of her hand. The two of them just watched the chaos conduct in the large kitchen as everybody was shouting over each other.
“Alright, kids! Listen up!” Cosmo clapped loudly as all his children proceeded to quiet down. “Okay everybody go upstairs one last time. If you have a pet put them up in your room or if the pet is in a cage in your room feed them. Double check you have everything and then proceed to the van as planned. Ready? Go!” Cosmo yelled.
Sophie picked up Lion and motioned for Xavier to follow her. She was followed up the stairs by Jimmy carrying Goddard, Timmy carrying Sparky, Danny carrying Cujo, SB carrying Gary, Patrick carrying Rocky, ZIM leading Minimoose, Bunsen carrying Boodles, Dora leading Perrito, and Vendetta carrying Grudge. The other siblings followed up the stairs to double check their rooms to not forget anything. All except Blik whose room was the garage and Poof who was safe in his mother’s arms.
Sophie lead Xavier into her room and closed the door behind them.It was a small bedroom with a tiny closet, a small bed, and a small bookshelf. When they move Sophie requested she get her own room since she was a growing young lady now and thought it be better if she didn't share a room with Timmy and Snap. Xavier flopped down on Sophie’s bed as Sophie put Lion in his cat carrier. Lion meowed in protest as Sophie answered back “I know Lion you don’t like it but it’s only for the morning.”
“Do you think he can really understand you?” Xavier asked.
“Mmm, I like to think he does.” Sophie answered as she went to her closet and pulled out a box labeled ‘Special Things.’ She rummaged through it and pulled out two books. One was was a glittery sketchbook while the other was a scrapbook with the title of ‘Family is Forever.’ She hugged them close to her chest before stuffing them into her backpack. “Okay, we can go now,” Sophie said smiling.
“Finally. You know Max is gonna kick us out of the group if we keep showing up late.” Xavier said getting up from her bed.
“No, he can’t,” Sophie said as she opened up her door and turned her light off. “First off he would have to find a new second to replace me. Second, I basically own his soul at this point. So even if wanted too he couldn’t kick us out.”
“Fair enough,” Xavier shrugged.
Sophie went to each room to check everybody was out and essentially take roll for their mother as one of her chores.
Timmy had put up Sparky in his crate as Snap fed his hamster Musty and his pet frog Wiggums. For two fifth grade boys, they could sure make a mess of everything. Sophie was glad she moved out of there.
Jimmy and ZIM put Goddard and Minimoose on chargers and left their neat bedroom. It was neat because they both pretty much spent all their time in the basement lab with Vendetta.
Danny put up Cujo in his crate as Adrien put on his mother’s ring to wear on his right hand and Plagg grabbed his black cat plush from the top bunk of his and Adrien’s bunk beds. Plagg refused to sleep with GIR and Poof in fear of losing Adrien.
SB had put Gary in his cat carrier and grabbed his clean uniform while Patrick carefully put Rocky on the side table on his side of the room. The two had shared a room every since Patrick got there and they decided to never ever switch.
Tak had fed Navis, his and his best friend Jeera’s shared guinea pig, as Manny grabbed his soccer uniform for the day. Tak wanted the room with the biggest window and Manny just wanted a huge bed so they ended up with the biggest room on the floor.
GIR had grabbed his green dog plush and Poof’s baby bag from their room as a favor for Wanda and Cosmo. ZIM didn't even want to be near GIR as he slept. GIR had his own room until Poof was born.
Finally, on the boy's side of the hall, Bunsen had put Boodles in his crate and grabbed his script for play rehearsal. Bunsen just had his own room for now until another boy showed up at the foster home.
Meanwhile, on the girl’s side of the hall, Sam had grabbed an umbrella, since it was supposed to be bright that day, and Jenny grabbed some fashion magazines for her and her best friend who was a girl, Misty, to share at lunch. Their room consisted of a lot of black, pink, and purple. The color scheme was a compromise.
While Dora had put Perrito in his crate, Marinette grabbed her late mother’s earrings to wear that day and Tikki grabbed her ladybug plush from the bottom bunk of her’s and Marinette’s shared bunk beds. As the only little girl in the house, Tikki ended up sleeping with her sister and Dora didn’t mind the extra roommate.
Finally, Vendetta set down Grudge down on her gothic styled bed, since she refused to put him in any confinements, and Charlotte fed her hamster Buttons and her bird Buttons 2 before grabbing her brightly colored girl scout uniform along with Vendetta’s black girl scout uniform. Their room was like night and day. Vendetta’s side was green and black the only decoration being her striped blanket… which was also green and black. Charlotte’s side, on the other hand, was bright blues and pinks with posters and frilly things just thrown everywhere.
Sophie counted each of her siblings going down the stairs before yelling down to her parents. “We are all ready to go, mom and dad!”
“Finally! Let’s go already!” Blik groaned as everyone went outside and piled into the large van.    
“Okay, Pacific Grove High School, Summerfield Jr. High, Sunnyside Elementary, Blue River Kindergarten, Grandview School for the Culinary Arts, Seaside Community College, and then the bank. Got it dear?” Wanda asked. “Got it and away we go!” Cosmo announced as he drove away from the house.
Cosmo was driving while Wanda sat in the passenger seat. Jimmy and Timmy were arguing about something stupid again while Danny tried to break them up with Sam chuckling at the three. SB was going over some new recipes he’s learned while Patrick drooled at all of them. Tak was messing with his seatbelt as ZIM was ranting about this kid named Dib. GIR, Tikki, and Plagg were playing with Poof happily. Manny was checking himself in the mirror, Jenny and Marinette were checking their Amazon account for new deals as Adrien listened, and Blik was reading the paper. Snap was telling Sophie something cool while she listened writing in her journal, Xavier read a book, and Bunsen was going over his lines once more as Dora giggled while Charlotte talked to her with Vendetta rolling her eyes in disgust at the two.
So yeah that’s my insane family except for my brother who's in college right now. You’ll meet him later!  Anyway, it’s a miracle I’ve survived this long. I’m glad I’m here though. I feel loved where I am and I know that I will always have a place with them even if it seems like nowhere will let me fit in.

A Perfect Surprise (Marco Bodt x Fem!Reader) (Modern Au, Reincarnation Au)
Tumblr media
It was strange, going about life knowing you were missing something. You had memories of a past life you had once lived. A war torn time where beasts called Titans once roamed. It was terrifying yet these memories of them seemed to calm you in a sick way. You remember your old friends and the nice memories you made with them. But most of all, you had memories of a man you had considered your boyfriend.
It was weird remembering this, especially because while he was someone who held significance in your past life, you had no idea who he was now. You had never seen or met this individual, yet he had such a grip on your heart.
When you had been reunited with your old friends from the past you took solace in finding people who were going through the same things you were. You had found your friends when you were all 10 years old, which made it quite hard to deal with. But together you all pulled through it.
Armin, Eren, Mikasa, and you had all reunited when you had moved houses, ending up going to the same school as them. It helped with the move when you had people like them close to you. Now you were much older and had met up with many others.
Today you were hanging out with Eren and Armin, they said they had something important to show you. But they couldn’t quite tell you what it was. They way they made it sound was as if they had kidnapped some poor dog or something. You hope eren hadn’t tried to kidnap someone else’s dog again.
Once arriving at the house you noticed a few other cars in the driveway, a few of them you could remember as Ymir and Historia’s cars but the others, no idea. Knocking on the front door, you were greeted with Eren’s mom, who looked like she was in the middle of making some food. She immeditetly pulled you into a tight hug, asking how things were going and how good you looked. Eren obviously heard your voice and ran up from the basement, grabbing (y/n) away from his mom and rushing her downstairs.
(Y/n) was still trying to process the sudden change of scenerary at first. She finally came to and noticed there were more people then eren had originally told her would be there. First off, Mikasa and Armin were there along with Ymir and Historia, but then there were people she hasn’t seen in forever.
“SASHA, CONNIE, JEAN!! OH MY GOD. TELL ME THIS ISNT A JOKE!” She yelled as she dropped her bag and ran to hug them. Sasha was the first one she got to, who picked up her and spun her around.
“(Y/N) I MISSED YOU THIS IS SO NICE!!” Sasha exclaimed.
Next, She went for Connie, who quickly attempted to do what Sasha had tried but failed.
“oh my god, Connie it’s so nice to see you, this is so surreal!!” She said, hugging him tightly.
“I know right, you look good for yourself!!”
Then was Jean, who seemed to dislike how loud they all were, but still gave her a hug. This hug wasn’t as energetic at the others but held the most emotion out of the three hugs. It was a tender embrace.
“It’s good to finally see you, (old nickname).”
“Good to see you too, Horseface.” You said with a smirk, as jean pulled away and plopped onto the couch.
It seemed like everyone was here, yet someone was still missing. It made her sad that he wasn’t here, that she wouldn’t be reunited with him yet.
Eren had a cheeky smirk on his face though, the little shit. He was hiding something and you figure you knew what it might be, hoping it wasn’t just wishful thinking.
“So, (y/n) I think you can see why we brought you here. “
Rolling your eyes, you looked at eren. “Cut the shit Eren, what’s going on?”
“Well, we still have one more person for you, but we figured you might want some alone time, so why don’t you head to my room and go and see who it is.”
Oh, oh my god. You could feel your heart skip a beat. You ran up the stairs and then up the stairs leading upstairs. You quickly turned into Erens room, fumbling a bit with the door knob.
As you entered the room there was two noticeable things. First, Eren needs to clean his goddamn room this is so nasty. Second, holy shit Marco was there. You nearly cried. You shut the door and pressed your back against it. Marco was looking over at you, smiling at you. Though this wasn’t his usual nice smile, no this was like he found the most important thing in the world, a big dorky smile. His eyes were watching you intently, as if in disbelief this was real.
You both stayed on two sides of the room until you both realized this was real. You ran to him, tackling him onto Erens bed. The two dorks were holding each other and laughing, kissing each other every so often.
As you sat together, reliving all the memories you had together you remembered the last time you had saw him. You felt yourself cry, as if you were there again seeing his dead body. Marco understood what was happening and couldn’t stop the tears from coming. He held you close as he rubbed your back.
“Hey, come on, (y/n).” He said, trying his best to wipe his own tears away.
“Marco, I’m sorry. I just, I can’t stop thinking about it. God, I’ve missed you so much. It’s been so hard without you.” You cried into his chest harder. Letting out all pain you had felt.
“I know, I didn’t want to leave you that early but....” he looked away, not wanting to remember what had happened. “I’m sorry, I love you and I won’t leave you like that again.” He held you closer to his body.
“Please don’t leave me, I love you. I love you so much.”
You spent a good 5 more minutes in each other’s arms, crying and grieving together. After that the mood felt like it was finally brightening again. You and Marco began wiping the others tears, occasionally sneaking a kiss here and there.
“God,” you sniffed out, wiping your nose, “I missed you so much.”
Marco scratched his nose, before replying. “I missed you too, so much.”
“I was so disappointed when I went down stairs and I didn’t see you down there.”
Marco laughed to himself. “That’s what eren wanted, I think. He made me run up here when he knew you were on your way here, god that was the longest 20 minutes of my life.”
“How did they even find you?” You asked, playing with his hair.
“Well, Jean had gotten a Facebook message from Armin the other day and they said they had been looking for us and that they wanted us to come join them this weekend.” He gave you a quick Eskimo kiss. “Luckily we only live in the next town over so we weren’t inconvienced much. I’m just glad I finally found you, though it would’ve been easier if I had check Facebook I guess.”
You snorted, laughing at Marco’s last comment. “You can’t take all the blame, but I guess we all can’t be as smart as Armin.”
You and Marco laid upstairs until the rest of the crew down stairs felt that they had had enough time alone. But that didn’t stop the young couple from enjoying the company of one another.
This definitely was a better surprised.
