❥Diluc: Beauty and the Beast (Live Version)
♫“𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞.”
- cmon he radiates major beast vibes
- so I had the live version in mind for this but its hardly any different from the og other than the songs and extra characters
- the casting would be
-Alice as the enchantress who cursed Diluc
-Lumière as Venti
-Cogsworth as Aether
-Mrs. Potts as Jean
-Chip as Klee
-Kaeya as Gaston
-LeFou as Rosaria
-it’s kinda like dawn winery is the ‘castle’ so imagine it as that just larger and mondstadt is the town that forgot all abt the castle in the woods
-so we all know how the story goes; The Prince aka Diluc is cursed with shit by an enchantress (Alice) for being selfish and is turned into a beast while everyone else is turned into random stuff you’d find in a home and then there’s a rose and if sm1 falls in love with Diluc before the last petal falls then everyone is set free.
-Gaston, or Kaeya in this, wants to marry Belle aka you, but you don’t like him despite how hot he is and then one day your father leaves for the market but gets lost and finds the castle, the beast captures him for staying in the dawn winery and then you switch places with him yeah yeah and fall in love
-Diluc genuinely radiates beast vibes especially given the fact how cold he is at first towards you
-like Diluc is not a nice person at all at the start. He’s rude, has no feelings, is cold hearted.
-it’s only when he realizes that the rose only has like 7 petals left he decided he needs to do something.
-but at the same time who could ever love him? He was a selfish monster.
-however when you escaped the castle and attacked by wolves, he knew leaving you out there to die was horrible so he saved you; getting hurt during it.
-you were contemplating on escaping and leaving him here to die, but you weren’t a monster like him and got him to stand up, taking him back to the castle and treating him
-from then on he was forever in your thanks
-it’s one day when he’s in bed, healing, he hears you reciting something familiar.
“Romeo and Juliet?” He asks with a scoff, turning to look at you.
“You know Shakespeare?” You ask, eyes lighting up a bit as you refused to believe someone like him actually reads.
When he nods, you scoff in shock with a laugh. “Do you like it? Do you have any favourite works?”
“None. Most of his works revolve around yucky smucky romance. I have way better books to read.”
“Oh really? Like what?”
- he has a whole fucking library in the dawn winery and when he takes you to it your shocked.
-in your town you’ve ready every single book but not one from his library.
-when he asks if you like it you scoff, claiming you “love it!”
-so he gives you the whole library.
-it’s then on all his old workers and friends notice how close you two have gotten. They’d find you reading a book to him as he’d try to sleep
-there would be snow fights out in the garden, him winning since his larger hands could make a very much larger snowball than yours
-I think we all get the point; then Gaston or Kaeya comes blah blah he dies
-the last petal falls and you’re like fuck but then you kiss him and OH EM GEE ALICE IS THERE AND TURNS HIM BACK TO A MAN
-he’s hot asf you realize with his red hair andnwjdnjwdnkwdjiwnekwke
-BALLROOM DANCING.
-he’s such a good dancer even as a beast oh my god
-other than that we know the story, but you’ve changed him for the better and freed everyone of the castle and have everyone their memories back.
-most importantly, you saved him and now he could marry you.
Childe; Anastasia
“Now shoulders back and stand up tall and do not walk, but try to float!”
“I feel a little foolish am I floating?”
“Like a sinking boat.”
-He and dimitri both have red hair okay it matches
-well Dimitri had chestnut brown hair but CHESTNUT ID CLOSE TO GINGER
-totally not because snezhnaya is based off of Russia too
-idk even without his snezhnayan background or the chestnut hair he still gives me major Dimitri vibes
-so the story of Anastasia is ur a lil princess living with ur amazing family in snezhnya (russia). Childe is one of the kitchen boys and helpers, and admired Princess Y/N from afar constantly. However, one day during a ball, your castle and homeland is attacked by a wizard, killing your parents in the process. All that’s left of the Royal family is you and your grandma, Childe helping the both of you escape but is attacked in the process.
-running to a train to escape, your grandma makes it on first but you can’t catch up and grandma leaves without you blah blah she cries she misses you
-you gain a concussion or wtv and amnesia takes its place to you, now living In Liyue. after like a decade, Dimitri (Childe) and Vladmir (Pantalone) find out the grandmother is tryna find you and will reward whoever finds you. The two con men hold auditions to pretend to be princess Y/N, and then they see you, someone who looks JUST like princess Y/N and decide that you would pretend to be her.
-THE THING IS YOU ARE PRINCESS Y/N AND THEY DONT EBEN MNOW AND NOR DO YOU
-on the travel to paris, you get closer with Dimitri and on the travel, the wizard that called your family is trying to kill YOU so now your falling in love while someone is trying to kill you all while realizing who you are
-anyway so the casting
-dimitri as Childe obv
-Pantalone as Vladmir (his best bud)
-it makes sense because the both of them care abt money a lot so
-anyway I can just imagine you and Childe with that enemies to lovers and slow pining
-yk how he betrays the traveller in the game
-in the movie Dimitri SORTA betrays Anastasia cuz he wants the money for the reward
-but in this case, CHILDE, decides he jo longer wants the money and just wants YOU.
-Just ugh imagine you walking down the stairs in a gown and Childe can’t stop looking at you ajdnjendiejf
-like he acc has JAWS DROP
-literal drool running down his chin
-it’s not an official ballroom dance hut you two practice your dancing skills on a boat and your constantly stepping on his toes but he can’t get mad and he smiles at your giggles
-Pantalone notices and gives the idea to Childe that maybe instead of the money, he should just have you
-but Childe isn’t worthy of love, he’s a con man, and he needs the money.
-that is until he sees you walk in with that gown and LO AND BEHOLD HE IS IN LOVE LADIES
-you’re at an opera waiting for the chance to speak with ur grandmama and when Childe notices how nervous you are he just
“Everything’s gonna be fine.” He whispered, taking ahold of your fidgeting hand, his lips barely glazing over the knuckles covered by your white glove. he doesn’t make any move to let go through the whole opera.
- however once you realized he was only using you for the money, you get into a large fight with him and end up slapping him
-in the next few days once ur finally home and found your grandma, she invited Childe to table the money
-HOWEVER
“No money is worth of my love for her.”
so he doesn’t acc say that in the movie but I’m adding it here because he NEVER TOOK THE MONEY.
-a few days later at a ball in celebration for having you back,
-ur grandma tells you that Childe never took the money despite your thoughts and he realized he was speaking the truth; that at first he did this for the money, but then he wanted to do it for you.
-you leave to find Childe but of FUCKING COURSE THE WIZARD THAT KILLED YOUR FAMILY IS HERE
-Childe is there and honestly I’m not even gonna explain the fight but the wizard drowns and dies yayayayyaa
-he checks to make sure you’re okay and you’re not hurt after his ass saved u from the wizard multiple times and once he realizes that you’re okay and it’s over, he just smashes his lips against yours, so happy he finally has you.
-eventually you leave with Pantalone and Childe, going to travel the world once it was realized the princess life wasn’t suit for you.
-maybe it will soon, but now, you wanted to have all the time with Childe.
Cyno; Aladdin
“𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝. 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝. 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞?”
-guys
-HEAR ME OUT
-no shirt,
-both have some sort of animal love (Aladdin’s monkey and how cyno is lowkey in love with tighnari ANYWAY)
-he’s a respectful man
- he may be the general mahamatra but in another life he’s Aladdin, the hot thief. Completely opposite of what he actually is (except the hot part)
-so I’ll be worried if some of y’all don’t know the movie but I’m explaining it either way
-so aladdin aka Cyno is our lil village thief and you are the princess with a overprotective father who never lets you leave the castle.
-one day Cyno is up to his thieving yet on this same day you decide to escape the castle woohoo!
“Morning ladies!”
“Getting into trouble a little early today, aren’t we Cyno?” Nilou chuckled, her and Dehya looking at Cyno with a horrible disguise on.
“It’s only trouble if you’re caught!”
ur not rlly street smart since you’ve been cooped up in the castle so you take an apple to give to a kid who was eyeing it and you don’t even realize it’s sm1 selling it
“You better have a way of paying for that.” The man said, voice rough. “No one steals from my shop.”
“I’m sorry sir I don’t have any money-“
“THIEF!”
“I’m really sorry! I had no idea! I promise I’ll go to the king and get money!” You pleaded, trying to squirm away from the seller who had a harsh grip on your wrist.
“Do you know what the penalty is for stealing?!.” He yelled, his hand on your wrist pushing it down onto a surface and his free hand pulling out his sword that somehow came out of nowhere.
Just as you were about to scream, a random young man grabbed his hand. “Thank you kind sir I’m so glad you found her!” He smiled at the man before turning to you with a glare. “I’ve been looking all over for you!”
“What are you doing?” You whispered as he slowly pushed you away.
“Play along.” He whispered back
“You know her?” The man asked, forcing the two of you to stop inching away.
Cyno frowned and turned to the man. “Sadly, yes.” He let out an exaggerated sad sigh. “She is my sister. She’s a little crazy!”
The man didn’t take his words for the truth and grabbed him by the shoulders. “She said she knew the king!”
Cyno only chuckled, pushing the man’s hands off of him. “She thinks the king is the fox.”
He pointed down to a small fox- his pet fox.
Your eyes widened, quickly catching the idea as you bowed down to his fox friend. “Oh wise king!”
The fox was confused asf but he took the pride.
-you run together and you thank him but then GUARDS CHASE CYNO AND HE GETS ARRESTED WHATTTT but with your authority as princess you command to let him go and he’s free!
-he meets jafar (casting will be seen soon) and jafar takes him to some temple claiming he’ll pay him or some shit if he goes In and takes a certain bottle or wtv
-guys I’m iffy on this part of the story so dont bully me if I’m off
-right when cyno is about to take the bottle his stuoid PET TOUCHES SMTH AND THE WHOLE TEMPLE GOES ON LOCKDOWN WHILE HES IN THERE AND JAFAR THINKS HES DEAD SO HE TAKES THE BOTTLE FROM CYNO WHILE HE TRIES TO ESCAPE
-BUT
-cyno tricked him and NEVER GRABBED THE BOTTLE
-it takes cyno a while to realize while trapped in the temple that the bottle is acc a wish bottle
-he just randomly rubs it and POOF genie pops out and he wishes to get out the temple yayyy
-then he wishes to become a prince for all the money and also does it because he’s like in love with you despite seeing u once but you can only marry a prince
-what is this…JAFAR IS THE KINGS BSF AND HELPER?!?!?!
-jafar tries to frame cyno of corrupting the king blah blah jafar is evil then there’s a fight save the day smooch yeah
-okay onto casting
-the genie as KAVEHHHH
-they’re so similar if you think about it
-abu or the monkey friend as tighnari but he’s a little fox in this
-jafar as Azar (IT RHYMES)
-okay so cyno comes on a whole ass elephant claiming to be a prince and you can’t deny that he’s a lil fine
-you somehow don’t recognize the prince is the very man who saved you
-however ever since your first interaction with cyno In thé kingdom he has NOT STOPPD THINKNG AHT YOU
-before he wished to become a prince he was telling kaveh all about you
“There’s this girl. She’s smart and fun and-“
“And pretty?”
“Beautiful! She’s got the eyes and this hair- and her smile!”
-so yeah he’s vv much in love despite a one time interaction
-but love at first sight is real to him OKAY
-so to try and marry you he wishes to be a prince yet you don’t know the prince tryna marry you that you currently dislike is the MAN WHO SAVED YOU FORM THAT STREET VENDOR
-it’s not until one day when cyno has some RANDOM MAGIC CARPET flying while he’s on your balcony and he invites to take you around the world
-however on your balcony he notices your…pet
“You have a pet….tiger?”
-YOU GO ON THE CARPET WIRH HIM AND HE FLYS AROUND AND BRO WAS SERIOUS CUZ HE SHOWS YOU THE STARS AND EVERYTHING
-you realized once you finally got a good look at him and his hat was off that it was the same man who saved you in the streets.
-this is the one of first times you actually get to be away from the castle and it’s perfect because you’re FLYING on something and because it’s with him.
-let me tell you he gets jealous easily tho
-like he HATES the fact you had other suitors eyeing you up and shit like your his but not officially smh
-so final battle everhone is captured yeah yeah and azar wants to be king but to do so you must agree to marry him and ofc ur like hell no
-the thing is jafar is now in possession of the wish thing or wtv so now kaveh our lovely genie must grant all his wishes
-he’s about to wish for you to fall in love with him but Kaveh says he can’t do that then they get into an argument yeah yeah
-it’s not until you see cyno is free and tryna save you but you need to distract azar.
-so your idiotic self decides to seduce azar.
-yeah.
“I never realized how…incredibly handsome you are.”
-kaveh’s jaw LITERALLY DROPPED and azar shut it for him
“Oh really? Go on.”
absolutely disgusting cuz he’s just ew
“You’re tall…dark, well dressed…”
-kaveh is like genuinely disgusted at the scene in front of him
-but then he hears a sound and turns and ITS CYNO
-he almost screamed his name but cyno had to cover his mouth
-when Kaveh tells cyno he’s under Azar’s command he tries to get the wish bottle or wtv
-so you have to keep TALKING and lil sexy moves to distract azar
-cyno was also disgusted and he hated it sm but to save you he had to deal with it
“And what about that street rat?” Azar asked with a smirk.
You smirked back, walking closer to him and wrapping your arms around his neck. “What street rat?”
-cyno knew u weren’t serious but UGH he hated this
-however azars lil evil sidekick pet or wtv sees cyno and is abt to scream but then FOX TIGHNARI TO THE RESCUE
-however he did make a nose and just when azar was turning his head, you immediately put your hand at the back, forcing him to look at you and you smashed your lips against his
-NAH WHY U GOTTA DO THAY TO CYNO
-he forgot abt his whole plan for a second when he watched it all
-he lowk wished he was azar
-even tighnari stopped fighting and just stared shocked and kaveh’s jaw dropped
-BUR AZAR SEES CYNO IN THE REFLECTION OF UR CROWN AND THEN BATTLE STArts
-once it’s over cyno uses his final wish to free kaveh and Azar takes his place and now Azar is LONG GONEEEE
-however since kaveh is no longer the genie, all of cyno’s wishes are gone and he is no longer a prince and can’t marry you
-but YOUR DAD TO THE RESCUE!!
-he changes the law so you can marry cyno and he’s so happy he SPINS YOU AROUND AND KISSES YOU AJENFJEJJFS
-anyways you guys get married blah blah you’re finally free to make your own choices and both so so happy
Kazuha; Tangled.
“𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭. 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐬𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐈 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰. 𝐈𝐟 𝐬𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫, 𝐈'𝐦 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐈'𝐦 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨.“
-HE IS SO FIT AS FLYNN
-cmon they’re both wanted and hot as fuck
-both have some amazing way with words
-so to explain the tangled story since I’m a lil scared some of y’all don’t know.
-if you guys have never watched tangled go watch it pls
-so for quick summary your born a princess obv but some crazy lady steals you as a baby and takes you far far away because apparently the mom ate a magic flower and the magic in the flower came to YOU
-so for the crazy lady who took you, she only did because she needs the magic to continue living
-so because you were literally 1 year old you think crazy lady is your mother as she takes you to a far far away tower and traps you there for almost 2 decades
-you’re hair is like 30 metres long somehow
-oh yeah the magic is in your hair and if you cut it the magic is gone so!!
-anyway one day ur mom is out blah blah and it’s your birthday blah blah and on your birthday there are these floating lanterns at the palace and you REALLY WANNA GO but ofc crazy mama says no
-but then some random hot guy comes through the tower window and because he’s a stranger and you’ve never seen anyone besides your mom you hit him with a pan and he goes unconscious
-he wakes up tied to a chair by YOUR HAIR.
“Uh, I’m sorry, is this hair?”
-you ask him what he wants and tbh I don’t remember the story but you make him take you to the lanterns or lights or wtv and he’s like yk what? Sure
-OH NOW I REMMEBER
-okay so he stole a crown from the palace
-and he found your tower to hide in it and when he went unconscious you stole the bag that had the crown
-so you say if he wants it back he has to take you and he’s like bet
-the dude can only stare as you go through a whole episode of feeling grass for the first time in your life but also regretting leaving your tower because your mom will be so mad when you get back but at the same time you’re finally free yet-
-this happens for an hour.
-eventually he has to reassure you he’ll bring you back
-uhm thing is he tried to steal the crown from you though so he was gonna send you to a tavern filled with scary men and lowk leave you there
-ofc though since you’re so cute all the scary men in the tavern start doing karaoke with you
-I got a dream she’s got a dream dududududuudd
-BUT
-CASTLE GUARDS COME
-Kazuha grabs your hand and goes into this like hidden tunnel under the tavern and there’s like this whole fight scene thing
-you guys get trapped in a cave that’s blocked and there’s water coming in
-Kazuha CANT find a way out cuz it’s too dark
-BUT WAIT
-U HAVE MAGIC HAIR!!!
-that also glows…
-Kazuha is the definition of WTF when u just start singing a lullaby or wtv and ur hair starts GLOWING?
-nevertheless he’s able to see and he finds a way out of the cave
-however that night you didn’t know your mama was currently looking for you…
-and there were 2 people Kazuha pissed off (two random men I don’t have names) who he actually stole the crown with and then ran away from them
-you also forgot you left the crown
-in the tower
-with your mom
-yeah
-she suggests revenge on Kazuha and boy did the two men smile at that
-that night Kazuha had a large gash in his palm from getting you guys out the cave and you ofc have to use your hair to heal it
“You’re being strangely cryptic as you wrap your…magic hair around my injured hand.”
He winces when you grip onto his wrist too tight snd you grimace. “Sorry! Just…don’t freak out please?”
-for you he didn’t
-however…
-once u sing ur lullaby he tries his best not to freak out he stares at his now completely healed hand with large eyes and thinks that something is gonna happen to him
-btw you’re both in a forest around a fire cuz it’s obv ur not gonna make it to the kingdom that day and have nowhere to sleep but you’re ofc gonna go tomorrow
-you guys open up to each other last night and Kazuha was shocked that he felt so relieved to open up to someone he met just 18 hours ago
-when he leaves to get firewood though…
-MAMA IS HERE!!
“How did you find me?!” You ask, sputtering as your mom pulls you into a hug.
“I just listened to the sound of complete and utter betrayal and followed it! We’re going home, now.” Her soft and sarcastic voice turned into a harsh one as she gripped your wrist, trying to make you follow her.
You fought back. “What? Mom, you don’t understand- I’ve been on this Incredible journey and I’ve seen and learned so much! I even met someone…” you whispered the last sentence with a smile.
She scoffed before the sarcastic voice came back. “Yes, the wanted man. I’m so proud! Now come on.” It quickly turned harsh again and she pulled your wrist but you kept your ground.
“I think…I think he likes me!”
“Likes you? Please Y/N that’s demented!”
“But mother I-“
“This is why you never should’ve left! This romance you think is not real. It proves you’re too naive for this world. You think he likes you? Look at you! He’s not even impressed.” She stood a few feet away, arms out as if she was expecting you to hug her. “Don’t be a dummy, come with mummy. Mother knows bes-“
“No!”
She stares at you bewildered. “No? I see what this is now. Oh Y/N knows best! She’s so mature now! If you really believe he likes you, go ahead and give him this!” She pulls out the bag that had the crown in it.
Your eyes widened. “How did you even-?”
She holds the crown out, cutting you off. “This is why he’s here! Don’t let him deceive you, give the crown to him then you’ll see.”
“I will.”
“Trust me, dear.” She did a quick snap. “That’s how fast he’ll leave you. I won’t say I told you so, because apparently Y/N knows best! So if he’s such a dream boat, put him too the test.”
“Mother, wait-“
“If he’s lying, don’t come crying. Your mother always knows best.” And in an instant, she’s disappeared into the night fog, and you can only stare in shock.
You overhear Kazuha coming back and you quickly hide the crown in the bag and then hide the bag behind a nearby tree
“Are you all right?” Kazuha asks, looking at your back as you were turned away from him.
You out on a fake smile, instantly turning. “Yep! Just lost in thought.”
He doesn’t suspect anhtning and nods, going on about whatever topic, and you constantly find yourself glancing back at the tree
-you both go to sleep later and he’s such a gentlemen he gets you smth comfy to put your head on and he takes a rock.
-such a gentleman ugh
-however
-when he wakes up
-there’s a gigantic castle tanuki guard growling right above him and he realizes he’s fucked
-you wake up to screaming and somehow this TANUKI is DRAGGING Kazuha across the ground since his boot was in its foot
-you went to grab Kazuha’s hand, pulling on it and you obv win but the tanuki ends up taking Kazuha’s boot
-you tell the tanuki to sit and then call her a good girl and her baby tail starts wagging as if it’s an actual dog and Kazuha can only be like what the fuck
“You must be so tired from chasing this bad guy for days!” You say in a baby voice, scratching the Tanuki’s head and she nods.
“She’s a bad tanuki! Bad!”
“She’s just a big sweetheart!” You look at the dollar, smiling at the name. “Aren’t you Sayu?”
She, despite being a tanuki who shouldn’t understand anything, is currently nodding her head.
“Look, today is the biggest day of my life- it’s my birthday. And you can’t take Kazuha because he’s taking me to see the lights and it’s all I ever wanted to see! So, can you please not drag him to the castle and get him arrested?”
The tanuki somehow scoffed
“Just for 24 hours then you can chase each other to your hearts contents, okay?” You ask, watching as the animal and the full on adult glare at each other.
Kazuha scoffs along with the Tanuki huffing. “Fine.” He puts his hand out and Sayu hesitantly SOMEHOW shakes it, but makes no move to let go.
You walk away when you hear the kingdom bells, signalling the festival is gonna start, and when you walk away you don’t even realize or see the Tanuki punch Kazuha in the chest.
-so you’re both finally in the kingdom and of course you’re both hiding but now he feels like he kinda needs to make sure you’re okay because he was just gonna leave you there but you kinda saved him when running away from the guards
-also the tanuki is now glaring at him and watching his every move so he can’t leave you
-you also saved him when the scary men in the tavern tried to kill them but then you hit one of with your famous pan and karaoke starts
-he did originally plan to do that but after last night he lowk started liking you and realized you were too sweet and he wanted to make your special day happy
-each time you two- well three now- walk by a poster with his drawn out face, he grabs it and crumples it. Only so no one knows it’s him and because they made his nose look HIDEOUS on it
-when he crumples it he hears the tanuki/ sayu/ yell and he just throws it at her.
-then she throws it back
-you had to yell at them to stop
-so the only concern is your hair as a bunch of people step on it and it’s a VERY crowded kingdom
-he grabs handfuls of it so no one steps on it and no one gets suspicious
-town square though there’s 4 little girls who literally LIGHT UP at the sight of your hair and they braid pieces of it then braid it again so it stays short
-short is down to your feet btw
-when Kazuha looks he has to admit your really fucking pretty
-like he can stop staring and he’s finally out of it when the tanuki is SMIRKING at him and laughing her ass off
-he grabs a nearby flower and puts it right above your ear
-he’s a thief so he steals SOME snacks for you guys and he might buy a gift
-he even buys you a cloth of the kingdom symbol- a sun.
-^ keep that in mind guys
-he realizes he lowkey likes you despite knowing u for one day??
-but you’re so interesting and beautiful and he won’t say it’s love but there’s def smth he has for you
-when he’s abt to buy you guys some stuff you notice on the wall surrounding the castle there is an old painting
-it’s the queen and king and they’re holding a baby
-and it lowkey looks like you?
“It’s for the lost princess.” A little girl said, putting a flower down beside the wall and you realized there were multiple flowers everywhere.
-the eyes, the hair…everything
-she looks just like you!
-but you hear a band go by and you start following them and after Kazuha bought your shit he turns around and he’s like “where the fuck is she”
-he sees you dancing with a little boy and then you start to gather in more people to dance
-you encourage him to come dance and he says no but then Sayu pushes him
-sadly he can’t dance with you as multiple people take his arm and twirl around with him :(
-he really liked seeing you dance though
-not ballroom dancing but more of that jumpey old time dancing
-he wants to do whatever YOU want to do but you guys do have to hide a few times when guards walk by but your always giggling your asses off
-the man takes you to the public library and shows you books you’ve never read before after constantly rereading books in your tower
-HES SO SWEETBRO WJNDJEJF
-the two of you end up dancing again for hours like all the way until sunset and he FINALLY gets the chance to dance with you
-he’s jumping and twirling with you and then you’re pushed together by the locals and you’re really close and he’s holding onto you and ughwkfnwkndns
-but before anything can happen someone yells “to the boats!” and you realize the sun is starting to come down, MEANING THE LANTERNS ARE COMING!!
-he literally grabbed your hand and ran you over to a boat before everyone could score one
-while he’s pushing the boat away from the dock, Sayu is on it glaring at him, as if telling him not to do anything and he only smiles
-he ends up throwing a bag of apples and she stares hesitantly at them then him
“I bought them!” He yelled, and Sayu instantly started eating the apples.
“Most of them.” He chuckled, and Sayu glared again at him again.
“Where are we going?” You asked
“It’s the best day of your life. I figured you should have the best view for the best day.” He smiled.
-he takes you all the way to a spot on the ocean near the castle that was on the edge of the cliff
-it wasn’t too near that all you could see was that but the shape was for sure visible
-he noticed you’re off again and when he asks if your okay, you admit your terrified
-you explain that you’ve been looking forward to these lights for so many years after seeing them from your tower, dreaming about what it might feel like when those lights rise in the sky, but what if it’s not everything you dreamed to be?
-he can only stare at you, reassure you that it will be amazing
”but what if it is amazing? Then what will I do?”
“You find a new dream.” He shrugs. “That’s the good part, I guess.”
-little do you know in the castle your dad is crying because he can’t see his baby and he’s so sad because he genuinely thinks your dead
-his first daughter is gone :(
-acc ur about to make out with a thief on a boat but wtv
-the king and queen are always the first to let their lanterns float, and once everyone sees the lanterns they let their own go
-you always thought it was a festival, which it was, but in reality it was a tribute to the dead princess AKA YOU but your not even dead you just don’t know
-ur a lil dumb cuz how do you think it’s normal every year on your birthday there’s these lanterns and then you see the LOST ORINCESS BABY painting which looks JUST LIKE YOU
-also keep in mind on every lantern there is a sun symbol on it
-the sun symbol is a necklace your dad also has
-I’m sorry I love the dad sm when he started crying in the movie I wanted to cry
-back to you
-you notice the light reflection in the water and when you look up, all the lanterns start to fly up all across the kingdom and far into the water
-when you saw the light you started SCRAMBLING on the boat and you almost tipped the whole boat over and were prob gonna drown again but wtv
-now comes in that song if you wanna go listen to it it’s called “I see the light” or some shit go listen to it with the video it’s so good ugh
-^ onky if you’ve never watched it or just feel like watching it again
-Kazuha looks at you, illuminated by the lanterns and how you look up at them
-you turn to look at him and he’s holding two lanterns, one for you and one for him
-he claims he got it as a gift for you and you sit back down in front of him
-you pull the bag out of NOWHERE don’t ask it’s some magic type shit, saying you should’ve given it to him before blah blah
“I should’ve given it to you before but I was just…” You paused, letting out a sigh. “I was just scared. And the thing is, I’m not scared anymore. Do you get what I mean?”
He smiles, putting his hand in the bag, but not to grab it, and instead pushes it down into your lap, showing he doesn’t want it anymore. “‘Im starting to.”
-HE AND FLYNN RIDER ARE SO FINE UGH WIFNJEJFJSJDJSJF
-IN REWAYCHING THE MOVIE RN AND WHEN HE SAYS THAT JUST UGH
-LITWRAL BUTTERFLIES
-all those days he’s chased down daydreams or living in a blur- all that time he never truly saw things the way they were
-but now you’re here, just watching the lanterns with the most beautiful eyes
-now you’re here and suddenly he knows
-if you’re here, it’s crystal clear, he’s where he’s meant to go.
-he like holds onto your hand
-it’s warm, real and bright, and everything with you is like the world has somehow shifted
-all at once, everything is different, now that the both of you see each other clearly.
-he puts a loose strand of hair behind your ear and he cups your cheek but then smth happens
-he’s about to kiss you but on the main land he notices the two men he stole the crown with
-he looks back at the bag and he takes you back to the mainland, he leaves you on the boat with the bag and claims he has something to take care of
-you just nod, believing him because you’re literally in love
-he feels so bad for lying but he just doesn’t want you to get hurt :(
-he keeps claiming he’ll be back as he walks away, and you tell yourself it’s alright
-so away from your sight he meets up with the two men and they’re GLARING at him while one is sharpening a dagger
-we’ll call him dumbo 1
-he throws the bag to them and he’s about to leave but then he doesn’t notice dumbo 2 is right behind him and he bumps into him
“Leaving again huh? Kaedehara?” Dumbo 1 chuckled, standing up from the rock he was sitting on.
He turned back to look at him. “What?”
“We heard you found something more valuable than a crown.” He said, walking towards him until they wereface to face.
“We want her instead.”
-WELL FUCK
-okay back to you
-you’re starting to get worried because he’s been gone for a while
-but then you notice the shape of a man in the fog and you’re happy!’
“I was starting to think you ran off with the crown and left me!”
-however behind the one man instead came a second, and you realized that was NOT Kazuha
-panic started to settle In you
“He did.” One of the men said.
“What? No- he wouldn’t!”
“See for yourself.” The other smirked, and he pointed to the sea.
You stared confused but walked closer to the water, only to see Kazuha leaving on a boat with the bag.
“Kazuha!” You yelled, but he didn’t look back.
One of the men circled you, touching your braid. “A fair trade. A crown for the girl with the magic hair.”
You gasped
“How much do you think someone would pay to stay young and healthy forever. That’s what your hair does, correct?” The other said.
“No, no!” You started to back away, pleading the men after one of them pulled a dagger out with those large backs people usually…bag you with.
You started running, losing sight of the two, but your braid gets caught onto a branch and you struggle to let it go.
However, you hear sounds of grunts and struggles and you hear you mothers voice. “Y/N!?”
“Mother?” You ran back to the spot once your braid was free, to see the two men passed out on the ground and your mother standing beneath them.
-she starts to claim she was so worried, literally on the verge of tears
-you start crying and run into her arms and when you ask how she knew where you were she said she followed you
-she tells you to leave but you find yourself looking back at the boat Kazuha was on, trying not to cry
-you turn back ti see your mom staring at you with her arms out, and you can’t help but run into her arms and cry, claiming she was right the whole time
-however little did you know it was all fake.
-your mother originally payed the men if they could act like they were actually going to take you so she could bring you back home so she could live
-idk if I mentioned but your hair keeps her alive wtv
-Kazuha was on the boat, but he was actually tied and the two men pushed the boat to make sure it would go to the docks of the kingdom
-he wakes up when the boats hit the docks and he’s yelling out your name and doesn’t realize the current predicament
-the crown is tied to his hand
-the 2 ken wanted their revenge so they decided to put him in and the mother paid em for it
-while he’s being arrested, sayu could only watch with concern
-even while hes being arrested HES still yelling your name
-sayu looks back at the island you were both previously on and now she’s worried as fuck
-so the next day he’s in the dungeon blah blah and then the guards take him to get executed
-that same day for you, you’re back in the tower and your mom let the braids out and all the flowers too
-even the one Kazuha put in your hair
-but you don’t say anything, frowning the whole time
-the girl kinda guilt trips you, saying she tried to warn you and you’re just too naive for this selfish world and then she leaves you in your room alone
-you look at the cloth Kazuha gave you which was crumpled up in your hands and you just stare at the sun symbol on it
-you lay down onto your bed, looking at the ceiling
-but then you realize that all these years trapped in a tower, you’ve painted and drawn on every wall and ceiling of the tower
-you’ve drawn stuff you’ve never seen before but was always in the back of your head
-such as the kingdoms sun symbol
-you look back at the cliff then back at the ceiling anf sit up, trying to get a better look at it
-you have this like hallucination where every sun symbol starts to glow on the ceiling
-and then you get this vision back to the painting on the wall and realize
-your the lost princess
-okay back to Kazuha
-while the guards are walking him through the dungeons he noticed the SAME TWO MEN
-he runs from the guards and grips onto the collar of one of them, yelling and asking where the hell are you
-the one that was grabbed claimed he didn’t know and that some old lady arrested them and shit
-before he could ask the guards grab him again
-OKAY BACK TO YOU
-you walk out the room and ask your mom if uour thé lost princess
-she tells you don’t be ridiculous but your not having it
-but you know the truth and yell “I’m the lost princess!”
-she only stared at you with large eyes before she glared
“Everything I did was to protect you.”
You pushed her, walking down the stairs away from her. Your pushed caused her to fall into a mirror, all the pieces shattering underneath her. “For the last two decades I’ve been forced to hide away from the world, but I should’ve been hiding from you!”
“And where would you even go?!” She scoffed. “He won’t be there for you. That criminal is to be hanged for his crimes.”
Your eyes widened with a gasp, and she tries to comfort you but you grab her wrist tightly. “No. You were wrong about the world. Wrong about me! And I will NEVER let you use my hair AGAIN!”
“You want me to be the bad guy? Fine. I’ll be the bad guy.”
-BAXK TO MAZUHA
-right when they’re about to take Kazuha into the room where he’s gonna get hanged
-all the doors suddenly close around them
-the main guard just scoffed, banging on the door. “What’s the meaning of this!”
-the little shuttle piece on the door opened with a slide, and Kazuha’s eyes widened to see one of the men from the tavern where you sang karaoke with them
-“what’s the password?”
-“What?!”
-“that’s not it!”
-“OPEN THIS DOOR!”
-“not even close!”
-“you have three seconds!”
-when he starts counting down he doesn’t even realize all the doors that were previously locked suddenly opened at the rest of the men from the tavern grabbed the guards holding Kazuha
-the men from the tavern are the crux ppl btw
-the main guard looks back and he’s like wtf but then BEIDOU THE OWNER IF THE TAVERN AKA BEST LADY smacks him with a frying pan and sends him to the ground unconscious
-who knew frying pans were such an efficient way to make someone go unconscious?
-more guards come running in and Beidou grabs Kazuha’s hand, rushing him out while the others distracted the guards
-once out, a horde of guards are running towards him and he’s like oh shit
-Beidou picks him up and placed him onto something, telling him instructions
“Head down, arms in, knees apart.”
He repeated her words with every motion, but then looked at her confused “knees apart?”
Beidou only smirks and he doesn’t even realize he’s on some sort of catapult until one of the larger crux members jumps down onto the other side and Kazuha goes FLYING
The guards only stare
-he ends up landing on SAYU
-somehow she can carry him?
-he literally thanked Sayu for bringing the guards and then Sayu JUMOS OFF THR DUNGEON WALLS and there’s this whole scene of a TANUKI running like a horse thays jumping off of roof tops and then Sayu brings him to your tower
-don’t ask how she knows where it is idk
-he starts calling you, yelling your name. “Y/N! Let down your hair!”
-yes they use your hair to get into the tower don’t ask
-when you don’t respond he starts climbing the walls and then he hears the window open and he’s like oh my god!!
-ur hair comes out he climbs it yeah yeah and goes I to the tower
-“Y/N! I thought I’d never see you again!” However, his words are cut short when he sees you tied up, tape over your mouth and your trying to yell something
-he stares shocked and then he feels this horrible pain and your mom STABBED HIM FROM BEHIND and he falls to the ground bleeding out yeah yeah
-you try to go towards him but your ‘mom’ is holding onto a chain forcing you to her
-yes a chain.
-don’t ask.
-she wants to take you far away so no one ever finds you again
-the tape falls off your mouth and you yell. “No! I won’t stop, and I will never stop trying to get away from you!” You panted. “But I will go with you if you let me heal him. Please?”
His eyes widened, all while groaning and trying to stop the blood. “Y/N! No!”
-she ends up agreeing and unchains you, but then chains Kazuha do he doesn’t get any ideas of following you
-you immediately ran to him, eyes widening at the blood
-I’m realizing out of all the Disney scenes I’ve wrote this is the only fight scene I’m actualky writing
“Y/N. You can’t do this.” He panted. “I can’t let you die with her.
“But if you do, then you will die.” You whispered with a frown, cupping his cheek. “Hey. It’s gonna be alright.”
“Y/N.” He whispered, his chained hand coming to cup your cheek as he leaned closer, but what you didn’t realize is that he had grabbed a broken shard from the mirror you pushed your mother into, and he reached behind and immediately cut your hair
Your mom screamed and your eyes widened, your hair colour going a tad bit darker than it used to be. The now cut hair did the same thing.
The mother was screaming and she realized that all the affects your magic had on her was starting to ware off/ she was becoming old. Her hands went pale and slender, as if she was a zombie.
And then she faded into dust.
You couldn’t care less.
“Kazuha!” You yell, shaking him as his eyes started to close. You brought his hand to your hair, reciting the lullaby but nothing happened.
“Hey.” He whispered. “You were my new dream.” He said weakly.
You chuckled sadly. “And you were mine.”
With that, he smiled, and let out a final exhale as he went limp in your arms.
-you started BALLING your eyes out right there and then; reciting the lullaby over and over again for anything , but there was never anything and he stayed dead.
-you were sobbing over him, a tear falling into his cheek.
-however
-the tear started to glow and then his wound started to glow and he was STARTING TO HEAL?!
-the glow slowly faded and with it going away, HE CANE BACK TO LIFR WITH A LARHE ASS GASP
-ofc after dying the first thing he said is your name
“Have I ever told you I got a think for H/C?” He asked, looking at the darker colour of your previous hair shade.
You chuckled and immediately wrapped your arms around him, now sitting on his thigh.
He hugged you tight and before he knows it, your smashing your lips against his.
-okay I’m gonna be quick with this now
-so he takes you back to the castle and then guard runs into your real parents room, claiming you were found
-they instantly start RUNNING to a balcony and see you with Kazuha
-anyway there’s a reunion, hugs tears blah blah whatever would happen after 2 decades of not seeing each other.
-Kazuha onky smiled over the whole thing and then YOUR MOM PULLED HIM INTO THE HUG
-the kingdom rejoiced for their lost princess had returned and the party lasted for a week
-Kazuha hardly remmebered anything that happened
-the crux members eventually had their dreams come true and got jobs in the kingdom
-thanks to Sayu, crime disappeared overnight ad bf so did most of the apples
-at last you were home and finally had a real family and you were a princess worth waiting for
-everh now and then whenever your out Kazuha woullf take the crown off your head and hide it but you always knew and he’d place it back on your head with a giggle
-a few years later he finally placed a ring on that finger and you lived happily ever after
-he also had all charges dropped against him too so he was no longer a thief!
-off topic fun fact; Originally instead of Kazuha it was gonna be Kaeya but then I acc thought of Kaeya as thé prince from the Swan Princess so I’ll have him in another post
Alhaitham; Frozen
-so we all know frozen is focused on Elsa but for the love story we’re focusing on just you
-so for this you will choose who you want your older sister to be
-whoever has a Cryo vision or a lady u wanna choose and make them have ice powers but wtv
-so basically the story starts out with 8 year old you waking up your sister 10 year old sister
-and your bored
-she tells you to go back to sleep but then you ask if she wants to build a snowman.
-sister has ice powers yayaya she can also make snow
-one day while your jumping shes making snow pillars but you go to fast and she slips on ice and accidentally uses her ice powers and hits your head
-you pass out and she’s crying calling your parents
-they take you to a small area away from the kingdom and.
-it’s mushrooms.
-you know nahida’s mushroom besties or the ones we see around sumeru thay pop up and disappear
-yeah those r the trolls from frozen
-nahida is human but she lives with them
-she tells ur dad that you need to forget your sister if you wanna live because if she hits you again you can die
-she replaces all memories of sister creating snow or ice and replaced them with natural snow and ice and the two of you together so the fun stays
-no one can know of her magic so all do the staff was reduced in the castle, the gates and windows were always closed, and Elsa has NEVER been outside since
-so basically for the next decade your sister doesn’t talk to you, and your always outside your door asking her if she wants to go in the snow and build a snowman but she tells you to go away
-however during this decade her powers got stronger
-it’s not until your 18 when your parents leave for a trip over seas
-sadly their ship goes down and they die
-your sisyer doesn’t even show up to the funeral
-so three years later your sister is finally of age to become queen and it’s coronation day!
-all the gates open and you’re finally outside
-what if you meet your future lover at the coronation?
-well one thing for sure you met someone you liked but not at coronation…
-you almost fall into a boat but someone catches you however he falls on top of you
-your both apologizing and then he finally introduced himself
“I’m prince Childe of Snezhnaya!”
-of course you bump into a prince
-even though ur a princess but wtv
-you end up running cuz you gots go to the coronation and you see him later though
-this is the first time you’ve ever actually seen your sister in the last decade and also the first time you’ve talked to her
-it’s vv awkward but you start bonding over chocolate
-eventually some random asks you to dance and he’s so bad at dancing that your sister is cackling while watching
-eventually sm1 else takes your hand and it’s Childe!! he twirls you around and shit yk the usual ballroom dancing
-okay fast forward somehow you two fell in love don’t ask
-like you do tell each other everything and he reveals he has 10 siblings and he’s the youngest
-4 sisters and 6 brothers
-he asks if you’ll marry him despite knowing each other for 5 hours and your like oh my god yes!!!!
-when you ask your sister for permission she’s like no cuz SHES SMART
-you get mad and cause a scene and you grab your hand and you pull her glove off accidentally
-she loses control and ice magic goes woosh
-fast forward she runs away
-I’m acc so tired and wanna get this post done with I’m sorry if this is rushed but it’s short cuz the main focus isn’t even supposed to be you
-your sister runs away and with her magic she causes an eternal winter IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER.
-you chase after her into the woods and little do you know after her whole “let it go” episode she created a whole castle out of ICE.
-I still wonder what she slept on.
-uhm so you leave prince Childe in charge of the king on of sumeru while you find your sister
-your horse runs away from you cuz bro knows he don’t want this bs rn
-your literally in a dress which makes this sm worse because now it’s like Snezhnaya and there’s sm it goes up to your knees
-you do find a shop though in the middle of nowhere at night and ask if they have any winter shit
-the owner points you to their collection and there’s just the stuff you need so yay!
-just when your about to buy it, someone walks in covered in snow and good lord he’s tall.
-he walks up to you and mumbled something but you can hardly hear with the mask over his face
“Huh?” You asked.
He leaned in closer, “behind you.”
You looked behind you to see carrots on the table where the owner was and quickly apologized, moving for him.
He grabbed the carrots then moved to grab a rope and pick axe.
“Where’s all this snow coming from?” The worker, Cyno, asked, looking at the man covered in snow.
“The North mountain.” He responded, placing down the stuff on the table.
“North mountain.” You whispered to yourself.
“That’ll be 40.” Cyno said.
The man scoffed. “40? No 10.”
“Apologies, but 10 is a big problem.”
“You wanna talk about problems? I sell ice for a living.” He pointed to a window and you saw a large sled with a bunch of ice on it.
You winced. “Not the best job.”
He glared at you and you shut your mouth, but only for a second until you started asking questions about the mountain and what he saw. “Did it seem magical?”
His glare stayed but he removed his mask to speak clearer. “Yes. Now back up while I deal with this crook here.”
“Crook?” Cyno repeated, standing up, and the man realized he was fucked- especially when he was thrown out of the shop.
-you ended up buying his stuff for him, and when he asked why, you told him to bring you up the North mountain
-and because you were kind enough ti buy his stuff after being thrown out, he decided to take you
-he owns a pet moose named tighnari.
-it’s funny how all the pet side kicks are named Tighnari in this post
-so while you’re on the sled thingy or whatever, he’s asking you what made the queen go all crazy
“So uh tell me. What made the queen go all ice crazy?” He asked, letting Tighnari guide the sled mobile.
You chuckled yet grimaced. “Uh..it was all my fault. I got engaged but she’d only just freak out because I met him that same day. And she said she wouldn’t bless the marriage and-“
“Wait,” he cut you off, blinking before continuing. “You got engaged to someone you just met on that day?”
“Yeah! Anyway I got mad and then she got mad and then-“
He turned his body to look at you, still confused. “Hang on! You mean to tell me you got engaged to someone you JUST met THAT DAY?”
“Yes! Pay attention. But the thing is she ALWAYS had the gloves on and I thought it was a thing about dirt!”
“Didn’t your parents ever warn you about strangers?!”
You blinked, before slowly letting out a “Yes” as you scooted away from him.
He just trolled his eyes
“But Childe is not a stranger!”
“Childe?!” He burst out laughing. “That’s an Incredulous name. If he’s not a stranger, what’s his last name?”
“….of Snezhnaya.”
He scoffed. “Favourite food?”
“….Raw fish.”
“Good lord- you’re marrying a man who eats raw fish as his favourite food? How in the world are you a princess!?”
“Hey!”
“Best friends name?”
“HAH I KNOW THIS ONE! Scaramouche!”
“Snezhnaya’a got some weird names.” He chuckled with a shake of his head. “Eye colour?”
“Dreamy.”
“Foot size?”
“Foot size doesn’t matter!”
“Have you had a meal with him yet? What if you hate the way he eats? What if you hate the way he picks his nose?”
“Picks his nose?!” You repeated, bewildered.
“And eats it.”
“Excuse me sir he is a prince!”
The man only smirked before looking away with a shrug. “All men do it.”
“Ew! Look it doesn’t matter! It’s true love.”
“Doesn’t sound like true love.” The shit eating grin on his face never left.
“What are You some sort of love expert?” You scoffed.
“No, but I have friends who are.”
“You havé friends who are love experts? I’m not buying it.” You didn’t notice the way the sled came to a stop and Tighnari was looking around frantically along with the man.
“Stop talking.”
“Nonono I’d like to meet-“ you were cut off with his hand over your mouth.
“Shh.” He stood up, holding a lantern up to get a better look around. He turned, squinting into a certain area of the woods and then wolves started to show.
“Shit.” He breathed out before immediately yelling at Tighnari to move.
“What is it?” You asked, fear speaking in you.
“Wolves.” He spoke while lighting a torch.
“What do i do?”
“Nothing.” He threw the now lit up torch at the wolves. “Just don’t get eaten.”
“But I wanna help!”
“No!”
“Why not?”
“Because I don’t trust your judgement.”
You let out the most exaggerated gasp. “Excuse me?”
He pushed you back a bit to kick a wolf that caught up. “Who marries a man they just met?!”
“It’s called true love!” You yelled, grabbing a random ukulele from the back of the sled and swinging it over his head to hit a wolf that jumped up.
“Woah!” He smirked, before a wolf bit onto his boot and dragged him off the sled but he quickly grabbed a rope that was tied to it.
“If i die my name is Alhaitham for my funeral!” He yelled.
You grabbed a wooden stick to light up, turning it into a torch before you lit up something random at the back of the sled. “Al, duck!”
“It’s ALHAITHAM!” He yelled, but did as you said when he saw you throw whatever the hell was in your hands that was on fire
He started to climb the rope back onto the sled. “You almost killed me!”
“But I didn’t!”
His eyes widened and you turned to see a cliff coming up.
“Jump Tighnari!”
“You don’t tell him what to do, I do!” He spoke while grabbing you, practically man handling you as he threw you onto Tighnari. Just as the cliff came up, he cut the rope connecting his moose firmed to the sled, prioritizing your safety over his as he jumped off the sled and PRAYED he would make it.
-he gripped onto the edge of the cliff, looking down to see his sweet sled on fire.
-he just bought that!
-he started to slip but you grabbed his hand and pulled him back up
-you promised you’d buy him a new one later
-you also told him you understand if he doesn’t wanna help you anymore and you started to leave
-in full honestly Alhaitham coukd care less if you died in the woods
-but you promised a new sled and if you die he won’t get it so he does follow after you
- anyway you spend the whole night tryna get through the woods and the whole time you just hoped your sister would be able to remove this eternal winter
-in the morning you start to realize how beautiful the snow and the hanging ice looks
“Who knew winter could be so beautiful?”
“Yeah!”
You and Alhaitham both looked at each other confused when you heard a new voice, and for a second then both of you thought it was Tighnari talking.
“It’s so fun! There should be some colour! Like crimson or yellow- actually yellow is just bad.” The voice became louder with each word and suddenly standing between the two of you was a talking snowman.
You screamed, immediately kicking it and it’s head flew off and landed in Alhaitham’s arms. “You’re creepy.” He said, throwing it back to you but then you threw it back to him and the continuation of it.
The body started walking towards you and you threw the head at it, sending it into the snow.
He stood up, his head upside down. “What am I looking at? Why are you hanging like bats?”
You inched your way closer to it, fixing it’s head.
“Oh thank you! Now I’m perfect.”
“Almost,” You chuckled, realizing this was a harmless snowman. You looked through Alhaitham’s bag before grabbing a carrot, making its nose.
“Okay, let’s start this thing over, hi everyone, I’m Kaveh!”
“You creep me out.” Alhaitham chuckled, kneeling down to his level.
You blinked. “Kaveh?”
“Hi.”
“That’s right! Kaveh!”
“And you are…?”
“Y/N!”
“Who’s the funky looking donkey over there?” He turned to Tighnari and Alhaitham standing beside each other- well moose tighnari.
“That’s Tighnari!”
“And who’s the moose?”
Alhaitham glared and you burst out into laughter. “…Tighnari.”
“Got it!” He screamed when Tighnari tried to eat his carrot nose.
“Kaveh.” You called and he turned to you.
“Did S/N build you?”
“Yeah, Why?” He asked, not caring that Alhaitham pulled out his stick arm, analyzing it.
“Do you know where she is?”
“Yeah, Why?”
“Can you take us to her?”
“Yeah, Why!”
“We need her to bring back summer.” Alhaitham spoke for you, putting the arm back into Kaveh’s snow body.
Kaveh let out a squeak. “I love summer! The sun, and how hot it is!”
“Really?” Alhaitham grinned. “I guess you don’t have much experience with heat.”
“Nope! But sometimes I like to close my eyes and imagine.
Suddenly, he started singing and dancing and you and Alhaitham just stared.
“My snow up against the gorgeous sand probably getting a good old tan in SUMMERRR~~”
Alhaitham crossed his arms over his chest, smirking. “I’m gonna tell him.”
You gasped, hitting him. “Don’t you dare!”
“Somebody’s gotta tell him!”
-so he’s supposed to melt in summer and ofc Alhaitham wants to ruin his dream of summer
-back in sumeru kingdom Childe finds your horse running back but your not on it and he thinks you’re in danger
-so he sets out with his guards to find you
-anyway back to you
-Alhaitham is asking you what your gonna say to your sister and you reveal you had no idea
-kaveh goes on about how sweet your sister is and he doesn’t even realize he’s walking right into an icicle
-“oh look, I’ve been Impaled.”
-your all faced with a cliff and you try climbing it but Alhaitham Is telling you that your gonna kill yourself
-like anywhere you put your foot down he’ll say “I wouldn’t put it there!” And HE IS ALWAYS RIGHT
-then kaveh finds an ice staircase and you jump off, Alhaitham catching you in his hands
-he could only smile as you ran off
-“holy shit.” The two of you breathed out, looking at the castle
-“now THAT is ice. I think I might cry.”
-sadly Tighnari cannot climb the stairs because of his hooves
-at the door if the castle your hesitant and kaveh kept telling you to knock but your scared and he’s like “does she not know how to knock?”
-but the door opened automatically so wtv
“You probably shouldn’t come in.” You told him and he whined.
“What? Why not! It’s a palace of ice!”
“Last time I brought a guy she caused an eternal winter.”
“Good point.”
“You too, Kaveh.”
“NOOOOOOO”
-making your way into the castle your like holy shir begause it’s all ICE but it’s so beautiful
-your lwokey slipping a lot too
-your sister comes out and is like why tf r u here
-and your just complimenting the ice castle and you apologize for everything that happened
-she tells you it’s alright and you should leave because you belong in Suneru
“Actually about that…” you trailed off, but then you heard Kaveh running in.
“Kaveh?” Your sisters eyes widened.
“We built him when we were kids, remember?” You asked.
“Yeah, I do…”
“We were so close, S/N. We can be like that again if you come back to Sumeru.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t.” She shook her head; remembering the last time you were close. “You need to leave.”
-she tells you to go enjoy the summer of sumeru while you chase after her
-plus without her the gates are open and she’s free
-HIWEVER WHOUT ALL THAY
-you tell her Sumeru is in deep, deep, deep, deep snow
-“yeah you set off an eternal winter.”
“Everywhere?!”
-“I’m sure you can remove it!”
-NO TF SHE CANT?!
-with all the stress on her she shoots her ice and it HITS YOU
-Alhaitham overheard everything and he comes running in
-he encourages you to leave and when your like no your sister creates a whole ICE MONSTER and it grabs the two of you and sends you flying down the stairs
“It is not nice to throw people!” You yelled, forming a snowball in your hands.
“Woah woah woah!” He grabbed you. “Calm down and relax Icy pants. Leave the snow man be.”
“Alright.” You sighed and he let you go, but the moment he did you immediately threw the snowball at the large snow and ice man.
-oh no
-oh no
-oh nononono
-it’s the smallest impact but he GROWLS and starts chasing after you two
-you both end up sliding away but once your far and hes still chasing, a 200foot drop cliff pops up
-he gets rope out of now where and wraps it around your waist before tying the other side to the pickaxe and sticking it into the snow and you both jump off
-you both forgot about Kaveh but he ends up jumping off the cliff and he’s fine
-HOWEVER THE LARHE ICE KAN AND IS SMART AND HE PULLS ON THE ROPE
-“DONT COME BACK.” IT growled and threw you guys down
-thankfully there’s like metres of snow so it was lke landing on a pillow
-Alhaitham put his hands under our arms and pulled you out of the snow and you thanked him, both of you smiling
-you asked him how his head was and he said he had a thick skull
“I don’t have a skull.” Kaveh said.
-then he asked how your hair was
-YOUR HAIR WAS TURNING WHITE
-he realized it was because you were struck with your sisters magic and then you asked if it looked bad
-“…No’”
“You hesitated.” Kaveh spoke.
“No! Y/N you need help. I’ll bring you to my friends.”
“The love experts?”
-so he acc brings you to the mushrooms you went to as a kid but you don’t know since you don’t remember
“Meet my family!” Alhaitham chuckled, walking in a field of mushrooms.
You blinked.
“He’s crazy.” Kaveh whispered, looking at how Alhaitham talked to mushrooms in the ground. “I’ll distract him while you run.”
He walks up to a mushroom and pets it. “It’s nice to meet you!” He turned and whispered ahain. “Because I love you Y/N, you NEED to run. WHY ARENT YOU RUNNING?!”
“I’m gonna go.” You said.
Alhaitham groaned. “Wait!”
However, the ground started to shake and before you know it the mushrooms are coming out the ground and becoming slightly larger and they start TALKING.
“ALHAITHAM IS HOME!” They all screamed.
-he’s asking where sm1 named nahida is while all the mushrooms start talking to him
-you just laughed, and it caught attention of all of them as they turned and blinked
-“he brought a girl!” One of them yelled before everyone repeated “A GIRL!”
-they all leaned down and someone pushed you as you rolled over all of them and they threw you into his arms
-he told you to just roll with it
-get it
-one of them is literally analyzing you and says “she’s perfect for our Alhaitham!”
-you both realized they thought you were together and the both of you start explaining that’s not how it is
-one asks you what the issue is with him
-is it the clumpy way he walks
-or the grumpy way he talks
-or the weirdly shaped boots he had?
-but you’ll never meet a fella who’s as sensitive and sweet!
-he’s a bit of a fixer upper, a bunch of flaws, and his best friends with a moose
-they tell you that you can fix him with love!
-is it the way that he runs scared?
-or how he’s socially impaired?
-or that half the time he tinkles in the wood?
-you did not need to know that.
-your only laughing while they list a bunch of reasons
-he tells them you’re engaged to some else and they don’t believe it
-one of them says “SHE HAS NO RING!”
-one of the other mushrooms are just giving you advice on love and it’s so weird but you love it
-SUDDENLY THEY DRESS YOU UP IN A CLOAK AND CROWN??
-he turns around and he literally says “woah”
-it’s not until one of the mushrooms starts to speak when you both realize what’s happening
-“do you, Y/N, take Alhaitham to be your truthfully wedded-“
“Wait what?”
“Your getting married.”
-suddenly you let out a wince and fall, your body turning as cold as ice as another strand of hair turns white
-when you fall he’s holding you in his ice and the commotion sends nahida running over
-she checks over you and says your life is in danger because there is ice in your heart
-if not removed, you’ll turn into ice.
-when Alhaitham asks if she can remove it she says no and that only an act of true love can solve it
-Alhaitham dattes crying you and he holds you while Tighnari takes him to Sumeru, saying you need to kiss Childe
-little did you know Childe is currently hunting down your sister
-she almost kills him but wtv
-someone tried to shoot her and somehow she went unconscious idk how to explain it but she wakes up back in Sumeru but she’s chained up
-like there’s protective shit over her hands so she can’t use her magic
-she’s in a dungeon in sumeru
-okay back to you guys
-omg he’s holding you while your both on tighnari who’s jumping his way to the kingdom and when Alhaitham hears you shiver he takes his hat off and puts it on you and it’s so cute
-he carries you into the castle and when your asking if he’s okay he tells you “not to worry about him”
-once the gates to the castle open he tells the workers who take you to get prince Childe and then Alhaitham walks away sad because literally did you know he was kinda sad cuz he liked you
-but your engaged so he can’t do anything
-your taken into a room with Childe and your like “kiss me”
-and he’s like “what?!”
-you explain the whole thing to him and how your sister struck you and shit and you’ll die if there is no act of true love towards you
-he carries you over to a couch by the fireplace, tryna warm you up
-“only an act of true love can save me.”
Childe’s eyes lit up. “True love’s kiss!” His hand slowly caressed your cheek then moved down to your chicken to grab it, leaning towards you.
He went in slowly, almost torturing you.
However,
“Oh Y/N.” He smirked, “if only if there was someone out there who actually loved you.”
- he explains he’s 11th in line for the thrown of his kingdom and he wants to be king
-so he thought marrying you would make him king here
-but now that your about to die and your sister refuses to be queen
-he can now lie and say you put him in charge and he’ll be king
-The betrayal-
-HE NEBER LOVED YOU
-he starts to take out all the fire in the room, all while degrading you and saying how pathetic it was to wanna marry him after one day
-he grabs water and takes out the fire in the room, making you go cold
-he says he’s gonna kill Elsa yeah yeah wtv
-he locks you in the room and your hair has fully turned white now and your close to dying
-Childe walks into a room, faking his sadness and saying your DEAD.
-Now that he’s in charge he says your sister committed treason and his sentence is death
-meanwhile Alhaitham is waking away but a sudden ice storm surrounds the kingdom and he’s SPRINTING BACK
-your sister managed to escape before the guards came to grab her so now it’s a whole new problem
-meanwhile KAVEJ COMES TO YOUR RESCUE!
-he unlocks the door and lights the fireplace and your yelling at him to get away because he’s MELTING
-he helps you over to the fireplace to keep you warm all while you tell him what happened
-kaveh said he won’t leave until you find another act of love
“Love is putting someone else’s needs in front of theirs instead of their own. Like how Alhaitham brought you back to Childe and left.”
-and you realized that ALHAITHAM DID DO THAY
-BABY HE IS IN LOVE
-“your so dumb.” Kaveh said.
-suddenly a window bursts open and he goes to look outside when he closes it
-HE YELLS THAY ALHAOTHAM IS COMING BACK!!
-“man I guess Alhaitham doesn’t love you enough to leave you behind.”
-you make Kaveh help you up even though your dying
-you said you love Alhaitham and you NEED HIM TO LIVE
-so he’s pushing you all the way outside but the storm is causing the whole castle to freeze and ice isn’t good for you because then you’ll die
-meanwhile your sister is out running but the blizzard is so strong she can’t see anything
-thankfully you and Kaveh end up escaping and your running to find Alhaitham and yelling his name
-your sister runs into Childe and he lies and says your dead and she breaks down crying because she knows it’s her fault
-during all of this your hands are starting to turn into literal ice
-like it was actual ice.
-your hair is full on ice now but Alhaitham hears you and is running
-during your sisters break down the blizzard immediately ends and it’s easier for Alhaitham to find you
-he’s running all the way towards you but then you turn to see Childe with a sword about to hit your sister
-and you run in front of her right when he’s about to slash her BUT YOU TURN INTO ICE
-YOUR LOTERAL ICE JOW
-your dead now btw
-ice = dead
-your sister is holding you crying her eyes out
-however
-nahida said ACT OF LOVE
-she never said true loves kiss
-because your sister loves you so much HER LOVE FOR YOU UNFREEZES YOU AND BEVAUSE YOU LOVE HER SO MICH YOU SACRIFICEDBYOURSELF
-love will thaw the ice and because of this the winter starts to go away like SUMMER IS BACK IN SUMERU WOOO!!
-somehow you guys end up on a boat when the winter goes away

“This has gotta be the best day of my life…and probably my last.”
-Sister gives him a little snow cloud above him so he never melts so we good
-Childe is on the boat and he’s like oh fuck

-you said it was a gift
-when you removed the blindfold it’s a NEW SLED
-you did promise him a new one
-AND ITS THE LATEST MODEL
“Do you like it?” You ask, fidgeting with your fingers, nervous he’d hate it.
“Like it?” He repeated with a scoff, before placing his hands on your waist and picking you up, spinning you around. “I love it! I could kiss you!”
He freezes when he realizes what he said and places you down. “I mean I’d like too, I uh- can I- can you- can we-?”
You cut him off with a kiss on the cheek and smile. “We may.” You say before he wraps his arms around you again and pressed his lips against yours, you wrapping your arms around his neck.

Reba and the stigma w/ Mental Ilness
After a nice nostalgic rewatch of the sitcom Reba, I have noticed and reflected on a lot of things. I think this show is sort of like a time capsule, dated but both fun and interesting to look back on, especially if you already have fond memories of said sitcom.
Reba just happens to be one of those "cozy" shows to watch. I imagine that many may watch the show and think of an aunt, grandparent, their parents, or in my case, my older neighbor who always had this show blaring when I would be sent over to ask for sugar.
Reba explores the life of Reba Hart, played by famed country musician Reba McEntire. Notably why you can catch reruns on CMT. The show lasted for six seasons, exploring issues and themes of divorce, teenage pregnancy, custody struggles, and more, while being set in rural (and very conservative!) Texas. It can come off as dated, but I think it is a good show to look back oh and notice how sitcom themes have changed. Reba is light and fluffy, while also having darker themes with a large emphasis on morals and betrayal.
I think season 3 is when the lives of each character starts to change, with the anti-depressant episode sticking out to me. in 2024, it would seem everyone you know seeks out help for their deteroriating mental health. Society definetely seems a bit more dystopian than it did circa 2004. Brock, the cheating seemingly never satisfied (be it sexually, romantically, intellectually) ex husband of Reba, suffers with depression, and after being medicated with "happy pills" becomes distant with current wife, and perhaps most annoying character on the show, Barbara Jean. Of course she is the former mistress, and totally against Brock's new found chemical weapon for his deteoriating mental health and stressful life. This theme stretches for three episodes almost, as their marriage becomes more strained and difficult. Due to on-going therapy sessions, Brock is forced to confront his own demons, his past, in order to overcome his present mental health struggles and prepare for his future, to actually be happy, within his life, and within his marriage.
I find season 3 to be very entertaining, but as an adult with my own battles, it has caused me to reflect and take a look at myself, my life, and of course my mental health. Notably, I really have nothing in common with the cheating bastard sitcom character Brock, but I think season 3's emphasis on his mental health shows how far we as a society have came in regards to the stigma around mental illness, much less the prescribed medications to treat said illnesses. Honestly, it is a bit depressing that there seems to be no good sitcoms that dwelve into these ideals nowadays, especially with a family unit, notably a dysfunctional, yet loving one.
To conclude, I feel that this little hearty and loving sitcom did one of the most accurate portrayals of mental illness struggles, and the crisis that may accompany it. WIthin season 3, it goes from Brock having a mid life crisis, doubting his current position/sense of self, realizing he is in fact a problem to himself and others, battling depression, and then accepting medication/therapy, while also tacking on Reba's own struggles! As we must not forget, she is a single mom who works too hard
who loves her kids and never stops
with the heart of a fighter
she's a survivor

The Evil and The Genius
Chapter Three: The Beginnings of Change
<<<previous
(Evil Jimmy is mainly referred to as Jack in this fanfic and is wearing a maroon turtle neck, a black hoodie that has a large DNA strand branded on the front of it, a pair of loose black jeans, and a pair of dark grey tennis shoes instead of the exact same outfit that Jimmy has. Be warned that this chapter is easily the longest of the chapters so far. Also, incase you haven't read the other two chapters, this fanfic takes place a year after the show ended. Sorry about not having updated for so long, I ran out of words, aka lost motivation lol)
Today officially marks two whole months since Jimmy had officially started the process of trying to reform Jack, and since Jack has started living with him and his parents, much to both Jimmy's dismay and Jack's confusion. To say that it's also been a living nightmare for Jimmy is a severe understatement.
Despite Jack being confused as to why Judy and Hugh had decided to take him in with only a measly promise that can easily be broken, he still uses this to his full advantage, even going so far as to get himself comfortable with calling them Mom and Dad (as much as he can get comfortable, at least). He even gets to bother Jimmy every chance he gets with little consequences for it, as it just gets deemed by most adults and even some peers as 'brothers being brothers'! Like, for example, 'borrowing' Jimmy's things despite not needing to, going into his room randomly without bothering to ask first, mess with his friends whenever they decide to hang out at Jimmy's place, try to blow up the school with a nuclear hand grenade that was made out of scraped inventions and then blame Jimmy for it because he had left out uranium unattended, just the usual things that a sibling would do.
You would be extremely wrong and also incredibly stupid for even thinking that Jimmy hasn't wanted to kill Jack since day one of this new and unwanted chaos. Today, the chaos will mostly stay the same.. mostly.
Jimmy sat at the kitchen room table doing his homework, sighing occasionally as he stared down at the paper. Here he is, a super genius who has by himself made inventions that are more powerful than the government's, having to do understimulating work for something that he doesn't even need instead of doing anything that he actually wants to do.
Jack walked into the kitchen as he quietly hummed to himself, holding an Ultra-Lord comic book that Sheen had gifted him when he first came back. "Still doing your homework, whippy dip?"
"At least I actually do my homework when I first get it and not wait until the very last second, unlike you." Jimmy responded, not loosing focus on his work.
"Hey, at least I'm not wasting my time on something useless like that when I can be doing what I want instead. Besides, I don't break under pressure, so it doesn't affect anything when just I wait to do it." Jack sat next to Jimmy, putting his feet up on the table.
"Waiting? Like you have been waiting when it comes to reading the very comic book that's in your hand right now?" Jimmy responded, still not looking away from the homework.
".. Oh shut up, we both know that the comic has so many things that just aren't accurate when it comes to simple science, and it's irritating to read knowing that they could have done simple research to realize this." Jack threw the comic down on the table as he leaned back, hands behind his head.
"That's understandable, but you shouldn't continue to give Sheen false hope about you reading it sooner or later. He can be quite sensitive when it comes to all things involving Ultra-Lord."
"Ooooh, okay! Got it!" Jack pointed a finger gun at Jimmy as he chuckled, making Jimmy roll his eyes.
They both sat in silence for a moment before Jack lifted his hand and pointed his finger at Jimmy, slowly inching his finger closer and closer to Jimmy's cheek.
"Jack, don't touch me." Jimmy said, still not looking up from the paper, now having an even more annoyed look on his face.
"But I'm not touching you." Jack said calmly, now not moving a muscle. It's true, he wasn't touching Jimmy. He just held his finger veeeery close to him, yet not touching him still.
"Jack, stop that." Jimmy now demanded him, finally looking up from the paper but not directly at Jack still, instead just staring at what was infront of him instead.
"Stop what? I'm not doing anything."
"You know exactly what you are doing." Jimmy told him through gritted teeth, his eye twitching.
"Actually, You are correct! I do know what I'm doing! And that would be nothing!" Jack spoke in a smug tone as he continued to not move his finger away from or closer to Jimmy.
"DAD! JACK WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE WHILE I'M DOING HOMEWORK!!" Jimmy yelled out, turning himself towards the living room where Hugh is watching tv.
"I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING TO HIM, HE'S LYING!!!" Jack yelled out as well, finally moving his finger and hand away from him as to try and avoid getting in trouble for the third time this week.
"Settle down, boys! Jack, stop messing with Jimmy, and Jimmy, stop being so hard on Jack!" Hugh called out from the couch, not taking his eyes off the tv. Jack crossed his arms and huffed as he turned his back towards Jimmy, who rolled his eyes when his dad told him to stop being so harsh with Jack.
They once again sat in silence as Jimmy focused on his homework and Jack looked out the window. Suddenly, Jack's face had lit up as he noticed something, tilting his head slightly as he got more intrigued.
"What is Sheen doing now?.." He spoke quietly to himself, watching him through the window intensely.
"Probably nothing, Jack. How come you always watch him when you have nothing better to do anyway?" Jimmy asked, glancing up at Jack for a moment.
"His stupidity is entertaining to me. His thought process is so simple that it's also so hard to tell what it is that's going through his head." He responded as he rested his head in his hand, still watching Sheen.
"Eh.. makes sense." Jimmy shrugged as he spoke. Wanting to see just how far his idiotism went was originally how they became friends when they were young children, after all.
Jack continued to watch Sheen through the window, beginning to snicker. "Um, J-Jimmy?"
"What now?"
"Why does Sheen have the Freeze Ray 3.2 that you're still currently working on?"
Jimmy's heart dropped when he heard Jack's words, immediately looking past him to look out the window himself. Sheen was outside, carelessly and dangerously waving Jimmy's latest version of his freeze ray around in the air as Cindy and Libby are trying to physically stop him while Carl was seemingly pleading with them all to calm down as he tried to stay out of their way.
Quickly, Jimmy scrambled to get out of his seat, no longer caring about doing his homework as he sprinted towards the front door. "No no no nO NO-"
Jack, now laughing loudly and manically, quickly follows Jimmy out the door. "Oh, I gotta see this!"
"SHEEN!! PUT THE RAY DOWN!!!" Jimmy yelled and demanded at Sheen once he was outside and had him in his sights, causing Sheen to jump due to his sudden and booming voice, but immediately relaxes again as he saw that it was just Jimmy.
"Heya Jimmy! Heya Jack!" Sheen called out, waving at them with the ray still in hand, which Cindy was still trying to get out of his hands.
"Give me that, you dolt!" Jimmy quickly and surprisingly easily snatched the freeze ray from Sheen. "How did you even manage to get this in the first place?!"
"Well, your lab door was unlocked, and when I went inside I saw that your freeze thingy was out, so I thought I should show it off for ya!" Sheen says gleefully, as if he didn't do anything wrong.
"Without my permission?? Without even informing me?! Sheen, I swear, you could just simply stand still and it would still leave me bumfuzzled, that's how confusing your stupidity is!" Jimmy then sighed as he rubbed his furrowed eyebrows in frustration.
"Well, when you say words that aren't even real, it's hard to tell what your answer is half the time! So I didn't bother asking!" Sheen replied, crossing his arms as if he had a right to be annoyed with Jimny.
"It's a yes or no question, Sheen! If you hear either "Yes" or "No" in the sentence, then that's your answer!!" Jimmy yelled out as he turned away from Sheen and began walking towards his lab to put the freeze ray back.
In turn, Jack stepped closer to Sheen as he struggled to stop snickering. "A-and about that statement with him saying words that are supposedly 'not real', they are in fact real words, it's just that most simpletons like yourself don't know them."
Cindy then spoke out as she stepped in front of Jack. "Well, you can't blame Sheen for that one, because most people don't use the words that Jimmy always use!"
"Yeah, because most people are stupid and only use the words that everyone else use." Jack said casually, putting his hands in the pocket of his hoodie. "At least he's able to get creative with his words, even if only a few can fully understand him because of it."
".. Well, he's not wrong on that one." Libby admitted to Cindy as she put her hand on her shoulder, which caused Cindy to roll her eyes in annoyance.
Jimmy quickly made it back to the group once he put the freeze ray back in it's rightful place, mainly to make sure that Jack wasn't provoking anyone too much or running out of anyone's sight as to cause havock. He let out a small and quiet sigh of relief as he saw that Jack was being civil for now.
Jimmy walked over to Cindy's side, noticing his girlfriends annoyance and was about to ask what was wrong before he noticed that Sheen's face suddenly light up as he remembered something before he turned his focus to Jack and spoke up, his voice filled with his usual excitement. "Hey, did you finally end up reading that Ultra-Lord comic I got ya?! It's his first ever comic, so it should be easy for you to follow the story right now!!"
"Oh, no, no I didn't. Infact, I'm not gonna read it at all. I just can't stomach it's scientific inaccuracies for more than a few pages at a time." Jack shrugged his shoulders as he casually spoke his truth. Everyones besides Jimmy's breath hitched in their throats as the words escaped Jack's mouth, knowing how Sheen can be when it came to people insulting things that he's interested in. Jimmy shot Jack with an intense glare as his eyes dart between Sheen's and Jack's face, waiting for Sheen's reaction before doing anything about the situation.
Sheen's face dropped as he got a disappointed and betrayed look on his face before it suddenly lit up again as he got another idea. "Does that mean that you'll preserve it instead??"
Jack raised an eyebrow at the ecstatic boy before answering him, "Huh?.. Oh. Yeah, yeah, sure, why not-"
Suddenly, out of pure excitement of Jack essentially starting a comic book collection in Sheen's eyes, he picked Jack up in a tight hug, Jack's feet no longer touching the ground. Everyone else let out a collective sigh of relief, as for them, it's common knowledge that Sheen does this with anyone who's shorter than him as a way of showing affection.
Jack, however, was not at all aware of this, as he didn't even know that Sheen's strength had increased enough to so easily lift people off the ground since he got put in the dark matter dimension. Jack let out a small yelp of surprise as he got lifted so suddenly, a small blush of embarrassment appearing on his cheeks. After a second, he began to try and get out of Sheen's grasp, as he hadn't gotten physical affection that lasted for more than a few seconds for over a year and this sudden and tight hug overwhelmed him quickly.
"HEY!! LET ME GO, YOU DAMN HEATHEN!!" Jack screamed out as he kicked his feet in the air as a futile attempt of escaping. Being the clone of a super genius really did come at a cost: being short.
Sheen raised an eyebrow at Jack in slight confusion. Then, he smirked mischievously as he quickly saw an opportunity to get back at him a little for being an annoyance to him. He then began to swing Jack around in his arms as he laughed. "Awwww, but you're so light and soft! I don't think I ever wanna let go!"
Jack's kicking got even worse as he continued to try and get Sheen to let go, his face now red with embarrassment and anger as he yelled out, "I SAID LET GO, YOU IMBECILE!!"
Everyone besides Jimmy began to snicker at the seem, finding Jack's anger about the situation hilarious. Jimmy though wasn't laughing at all as he watched Jack struggle against Sheen. Dare he say, he actually felt sympathy for him at this moment. It wasn't uncommon for Sheen to do something like this to him too, and considering that he absolutely hated it even after getting used to it, he could only imagine how it felt for the one who was unaware of it in the first place.
Jimmy let out a small sigh before he spoke up, "Okay, put Jack down, Sheen, you had your fun."
"Aww, but why?"
"Because he clearly dislikes it, and will probably punch you in the next moment if you don't."
Sheen rolled his eyes as he dropped Jack on the grass. "Fiiiine, fine."
Jack groaned as he sat himself back up and rubbed his head, muttering under his breath, "Asshole.."
Jimmy went over and helped Jack off the ground, talking as he helped to brush off some dry dirt off of Jack. "Anyways, I need to go back inside and finish up my homework. See you guys later.. Oh, and Jack, try not to be a bother today, okay?"
Jack rolled his eyes as he nodded his head, clearly not going to actually listen to him. Jimmy glared at him, also know that he wasn't going to listen, but currently too tired to bother dealing with him. He waved his friends and Jack goodbye before heading back inside his house as to finish up his work.
A few hours later, Jimmy had finished all his homework, now watching Tv as he gave Goddard a quick check up on his joints. Jimmy glanced over at the clock on the wall, it reading 5:15 pm. It was.. strange. Jack hadn't come back to bother him or disrupt the house again yet, and his their mom was just about to start dinner! Not only that, but no one had called either of his their parents of him directly to complain about something that Jack did. It was.. strange, to say the least.
Suddenly, Jack busted through the front door and quickly slammed it behind himself, his back pressed against the door and using his body as to baracade it, panting heavily as he let out nervous laughter. Jimmy's eyes widened at his sudden appearance and look of panic.
"Wha- Jack?! What happened?!"
Jack let out more nervous laughter as he put up his hood and pulled the hoodie's strings as to hide his face, his hair horns poking out. "Weeeeeeell-"
Suddenly, there was loud banging on the other side of the front door as Jack yell out a small squeak, Cindy's voice booming through from the other side.
"JAAACK!! GET OUT HERE RIGHT NOW SO THAT I CAN KICK YOUR ASS!!!"
Cindy then began to attempt to break the door down entirely, prompting Jack to.. hide behind Jimmy??
"J-Jack?! What are you doing?!?"
"Hiding, what else does it look like?!"
"Why behind me?! She may be my girlfriend, but that doesn't mean that I'm able to physically stop her when she's this mad!!"
"I don't know, I'm panicking!-"
Then, Cindy was able to kick down the door, currently wearing a mint green sundress that had been drenched in a dark colored soda. Upon hearing the door slam into the ground, the two boy's jumped a little at the noise, Jack quickly hiding himself behind Jimmy more as Jimmy instinctively threw out his arms in a protective position. Cindy's pissed off and raging expression quickly shifted into a more surprised and slightly confused look at the sight of this, as she didn't expect Jimmy to have a protective instinct for Jack yet, though there was still obvious anger on her face as she panted slightly from chasing after Jack.
Jimmy then raised his hands in the air as he spoke in a calm voice. "N-now now, what just happened here? Why were you chasing after Jack??"
Cindy glared at Jack, who was peaking over Jimmy's shoulder as he tried to remain hidden from her sights, as she spoke. "He not only threw a full soda can at me, but he also slightly opened the can before throwing it, making all the soda pour all over me and ruining my new dress!!"
"Girl!! F-for, like, the fourth time, I didn't mean for that to happen!!"
Jimmy's eyes widened as he looked over his shoulder at Jack. For the first time ever.. he didn't mean to cause any trouble?? And it wasn't like he was just lying to get himself out of trouble again, as Jimmy had quickly learned all of his tells. This time, he was being genuine, even if it's being expressed in a more harsh way.
"Well.. what did you mean to happen, then?"
"S-Sheen asked me to pass him a soda, so instead of just walking towards him and handing it to him, I tried throwing it at him since he's such an annoyance!! But Cindy ended up walking into the cans line of sight at the wrong time! I-I'm not sure why or how it was opened though.."
Carl, Libby and Sheen quickly ran behind Cindy, all panting heavily from trying to keep up with the two. Sheen then raised his hand as he was still panting heavily. "I-It was me! I was the one who opened the can enough to where soda would pour everywhere! But it was meant to go all over Jack as he was grabbing it!"
Carl took a few puffs from his inhaler before he began speaking as well, still panting heavily as he spoke. "B-Both Jack's and Sheen's stories are true, I-I was a witness to both incidents!" Libby then raised her hand and held up two fingers as she continued panting heavily, silently saying that she seconded Carls statement.
Cindy's and Jimmy's eyes widened in surprise. Jack was.. innocent? He was genuinely innocent and he wasn't trying to cause any trouble?.. well, not for Cindy, at least.
Cindy cleared her throat as she tried to appear more calm and collected before looking back at Jack, who was still hiding behind Jimmy, though now looked less panicked and nervous due to the others vouching for him, even Sheen. "Well then.. I'm sorry about the misunderstanding, Jack." God, did that feel weird for her to say to him of all people.
"I-it's fine, I guess.. but giiirl, you need to learn to chill." Jack said this as he stepped out from behind Jimmy.
Cindy rolled her eyes as she mumbled under her breath, though didn't say anything about it, as she didn't want to end up proving Jack's point. "Whatever, I'm going back home, it's almost about time for dinner anyways."
The other three, still slightly being out of breath, followed suite, going back to their individual houses. Jimmy and Jack looked down at the broken down door for a few moments before Jack attempted to pick it up to put it in place, only to immediately struggle due to not having a lot of strength. Even if he's different personality wise, he still is a clone of a weak and short boy, after all. After a few attempts, Jack then gave up as he began walking towards his room as to be alone for the next 15 minutes before dinner was supposed to be ready.
"... You know.. I think that, albeit very slowly.. this reformation thing is actually working." Jimmy spoke up as he looked up at Jack, who was halfway up the stairs.
Jack froze for a moment before looking down at Jimmy, raising an eyebrow at him. "Oh, really? And how so?"
"If that very incident happened when you were first made, or hell, when we first started this reformation attempt, you would've taken all the credit for it happening, despite it being unintentional." Jimmy then walked towards the bathroom as to wash his hands, seeing that Judy was about to pull dinner out of the oven.
Jack stood there, frozen and in shock. Jimmy.. wasn't wrong. Unintentionally and unironically, he was very, very slowly being reformed...
"... Fuck..."

Happy WW! What do they think their brother (or other family member if you like) does better than anybody else in the whole wide world?
There's this paragraph in take the things you love by @hathfrozen :
Tumblr media
Which I adore. So the thing Dean thinks Sam does better than anyone is sleeping in Baby. Sure not many other people do, but John was always restless when needs made it happen growing up, and Dean is very light sleeper so while nice, to be so close and bundled with Sam, the smallest forest noise or strong breeze would wake him (always alert, always watching out for Sammy). Occasionally girls would catch a couple hours after sex, but that's pure exhaustion and drink and not the same thing at all.
Sam... okay again, I don't want people to think I don't like him but honestly, for most of the series I'm not sure what Sam would say Dean is "the best" at. There's some mid-late moments where it's just "hunting" overall but idk if that's Sam's emotional truth or the fact that they know they're God/fate's favorite toys at that point, or both... Soulless called himself a better hunter than Dean, and while early seasons Dean might say "Dad is the best"/"Dad'll be fine"/hero worship John, Sam.. wouldn't, re: Dean. Sam left because he was always thinking someone wouldn't come back, ya know? Also the best of the what, 3(?) hunters they knew wasn't really saying anything.
Same kinda concept for like, early Sam wouldn't say Dean was the smartest, or the kindest, or the best at cars, or getting witnesses to talk, or...
Actually maybe "lucky"? Like, their lives really, really suck. No one's saying having your mom die as a kid is lucky, but things just seem.. easier, for Dean. Maybe he's best at obeying John (snide) (I know other people answered this too ✊), but since there's not much competition let's tie it into this larger, "Dean's damn good at adapting". The discount bin always has something Dean can make a meal out of, the prettiest girls in school fall over themselves to take him home (and he never gets bullied for his grungy jeans), doesn't get caught when he uses ridiculous covers like"Bikini Inspector" badges, I mean Faith alone.... Some of these things are practiced skills, some things are fate, some are just hidden from Sam by Dean.
Sorry, I write/think about Sam with a lot of envy/lust toward Dean. And love, but it's.. complicated. Possessive, because Dean is worth possessing. Dean is duty/loyal to Sam, who is special because he is Dean's. That's his little brother, who is incredible but there's lots of incredible people in the world that Dean wouldn't be devastated to lose. So Sammy's The Best title is something intimate. Vs Dean is like a jewel to Sam, anyone would be grateful to have him but they can't, he's wasted a little under John (gonna get him killed), but he belongs to Sam. His The Best title is something everyone gets to experience, but maybe can't see, because they don't have all of him like Sam does.
Does that make sense? I feel like I've just been in bite-y, baby dom Sam mode recently. Or more accurately, edible sweet submissive Dean 🫣.

hola tiff 👋
i was a frequent commenter on ao3 intending to come back and finish your magnum opus (tbaw) in one sitting bc the week to week format was stressing me out. i somehow spoiled myself on the ending before reading it and i’m lowkey disappointed our girl didn’t ride off into the sunset alone or with her friends, that would’ve been so subversive and unexpected.
a few questions:
- who/what inspired your versions of the aot characters? jean specifically, his personality and values seem completely opposite to his canon counterpart. as for eren, you probably wrote him with way more complexity and emotion than isayama did. if it wasn’t for the borderline revenge porn subplot, i’d say you almost made me love a character i previously hated. your writing is really that great 🤩
- how did you feel about how the mange/anime ended and would you have changed anything about it?
- are you still planning on writing the reiner spin-off?
you definitely earned yourself a break from all this. hope life’s been treating your well otherwise!
hello and welcome back!!! omg what a lovely question, thank you so much for asking!! literally, i saw your message in my inbox and i was like 🥺 and it gave me the energy to respond to a few other messages that i've been hoarding in my inbox for the past like......... month lol
i actually very seriously considered having her end up with nobody or have be it more open-ended but i figured that after all of the pain, the characters deserved a happy ending.
long response under cut
who/what inspired your versions of the aot characters?
jean was inspired by the school castes version of jean where he is a bully lol i've also seen readers describe him as "jean if he never met marco", which is very accurate. in my opinion, even canon jean is not a very good person, in the sense that being "good" or doing the "right thing" doesn't come naturally. we see him struggle through difficult decisions a lot in canon but he always CHOOSES to do the right thing because he doesn't want to disappoint the jean that marco thought he was. since there's nobody to disappoint in tbaw, it's easier for him to be selfish. and you guys all know i love jean, so this isn't even a criticism of his canon character. i LOVE the fact that he's someone who actively works to be a better person because in real life, it's not that easy to always be the hero, so i think that's so cool and realistic and i could probably talk about this all day but I'll stop 🤚 eren i tried to mostly base off of canon, with the exception that his relationship with zeke is flipped. where zeke is desperate for family and eren is the manipulative one in canon, in tbaw it's the opposite. au's are hard, because as much as i want to try to be faithful to canon, when you take away a major part of it (in tbaw's case, the literal TITANS), it can really impact the character. so, now that eren doesn't have his insane desire to kill titans after the death of his mom, in a modern au he has to channel that energy into something else. in tbaw's case it was holding that resentment for his father and trying to find the family that he missed out on, which turned him into this horrible person in hopes of getting validation from the child that his father chose over him. but at the end of the day, he's still super passionate and caring about his friends and is willing to do almost anything for them... but he's honestly just a little stupid and could've definitely talked to his friends about what he was going through instead of going completely nuclear. for the other characters, i tried to stick to what i thought their modern au!personality would be, but i also wanted to tell a certain story so i took some little liberties.
how did you feel about how the mange/anime ended and would you have changed anything about it?
i think it's really difficult to successfully nail the ending of anything. especially something that generates so much discussion, character study, and attention. i feel like we're going to see a similar thing happen with the jjk series. while i don't think the ending to the manga/anime was perfect, i still liked it. i still love attack on titan and rewatch it and engage with the fandom pretty regularly, which is more than i can say about some other shows i liked that have ended. i don't think i'd change anything about the ending if i had the power to do so
are you still planning on writing the reiner spin-off?
yes, hopefully 😭 i haven't been able to write anything for months because i think i'm just overthinking things. but i've been trying really hard these past few days to just get SOMETHING down, so i'm slowly getting back into the swing of things?? maybe?? fingers crossed for me.

166k minutes on Spotify last year
75 page long document with like half my APUSH notes typed up

Point out random birds and try to identify them
Have over 300 playlists and they're organized in a very specific folder system
My mom said that as a kid I always hated loud noises unless I was the one making them
Always feel like I don't fit in with a group
Take thorough notes during DND?
Kept all my notebooks since sixth grade (have been going thru and trying to only keep important stuff)
Taking dedicated notes to a podcast relisten because I NEED to update the TAZ wiki or else
Individually downloaded all 600 images from the original wiki so I could migrate it to a better platform
Detest yogurt. Like if I smell it I will gag. Refuse to eat sour cream, whipped cream, and beans and will barely withstand if they have touched the other food I want to eat. Side note my mom is also like this with different foods....
Did not like wearing shirts with sequins, or jeans, as a kid. Made my mom cut out the tags.
Made little table spreadsheet things for the potential schedules my friends and I would have in sophomore year
Filled like five+ pages of a notebook with notes comparing Disney's Hercules to actual myths
Had a 19 page long notes document for a 10 page long assignment
Say shit like "alas" and "methinks"
Meowed a lot as a kid, like up until I was 10. And hissing

Wildflowers
A twilight x supernatural fic
By smolvampiregirl
Word count: 4197
In a dark depressing corner of the Pacific Northwest lies a small town called Forks.
This town had to be the safest, most normal town in all of the United States of America. This town is where I had been banished by my brothers. My whole life and everything I had known was collapsing around me. My father was missing. My brother Sam had been dragged back into hunting. We had only done one case and while he was away his girlfriend Jessica died. I had been attacked by a Wendigo in Colorado. But the final straw for my brothers was when I was knocked out by a demon on a plane that was crashing and ended up with a concussion. It's not like I nearly died. It was just a concussion.
So here I was in the small cold wet town where nothing supernatural ever happened.
Well nothing supernatural had happened since my mom died, when i was six months old. I was born in Forks almost seventeen years ago.
Everyone told me I looked like her. The same thick dark brown curly hair, in the only photo I had of her she had long hair, I had cut mine short into a chin length bob a few years ago after I had gotten my hair caught on a hunt… It was easier to keep my hair short. My mom was also way prettier than I was, her milky skin was unblemished, she had deep chocolate eyes and from the only photo i had of her i could tell by her beautiful smile that she had a pure beautiful soul. I had my fathers swampy green-grey eyes and my pale skin was almost translucent aside from the splattering of freckles across my arms and face.
I had holed up in my uncle Charlie's bathroom trying to figure out how to be normal.
It was my first day at Forks High School. Normally I wouldn’t worry but now I had to, I was going to be here for two years while I finished my schooling. It hadn’t been too bad in Forks as of yet. Although I hadn’t been around anyone other than Charlie yet.
Charlie had been amazing, he was very quiet and kept to himself mostly. But he had welcomed me with open arms, he had even brought me my very own car… well truck to be more accurate. The truck was perfect for me, it was older probably late fifties or early sixties. I was expecting a nightmare when I popped the hood but the whole engine had been completely rebuilt and even the oil was fresh.
It had been almost ten years since I last saw Charlie. I knew he had always wanted to look after me here in Forks rather than having me live on the road with my father.
Charlie had been through a lot just before my mom… his sister died. His wife… now ex-wife… had run off with his three month old daughter. His parents were sick and also passed away leaving him all alone. I guess he was just glad to have someone else in the house.
A loud knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts.
“Hey Mills… You alright in there?” Charlie called through the door.
“Uh… Yeah sorry” I quickly pulled the door to the shared bathroom open.
Charlie shifted awkwardly when I pulled the door open. He hadn't expected me to open it that fast. His face turned red with embarrassment.
Charlie looked just like my mom with dark curly hair and brown eyes. There was no doubt he and I were related.
I stepped past Charlie and across the hall to my room.
“Have a good day today” Charlie called back to me.
I nodded as I closed the door to my room.
It wasnt hard to pick out an outfit for my first day. All my clothes were hand-me-downs from my older brothers Sam and Dean. It was mostly flannels and t-shirts that were too big for me. The only clothes i had that were mine was a pair of dark wash blue jeans and one dress.The dress was short and dark blue in colour, and had spaghetti straps with a deep v-neck that showed a lot of cleavage. The dress was balled up in the corner of my room. I didn't have much use for it here.
The dress didn’t have the best memories associated with it. I had mostly worn it when I was hustling pool in dank bars and road houses. I had been groped by more boozed up old men than I cared to think about.
As I threw on my jeans and a tee-shirt and flannel I heard Charlie make his way down the stairs and out the front door. Leaving me alone in the house. I sighed and looked over at the clock. It was almost time for me to leave.
I grabbed my backpack and threw my cell phone onto the small desk in the corner of the room. I wasn’t going to touch it again. I didn’t need to hear from my brothers. I was here now and even if it was against my will I owed it to Sam to give having a normal life a go. He tried and Dean and I pulled him back into hunting. If I was truly going to give this a shot I couldn’t be in contact with them… no matter how much i wanted to know if my father was back or if they had any leads on his whereabouts.
The school wasn't hard to find, it was just off the highway like most things in Forks. It wasn’t much like any of the other schools I had attended and it was a long list.
Forks High School was a collection of red brick buildings connected by covered walkways. I pulled my truck into the large parking lot and pulled up in the back corner. I could do this I repeated in my head like a mantra. So what it people thought I was weird.
I stepped out of the warm dry cab of my truck and into the cold misty rain. I walked quickly across the lot towards the buildings. I found the office quickly as all the buildings were labelled. Most of the buildings just had numbers on the side but the office had a large plexiglass sign on the side reading Administration.
I stepped through the door into the warm room. There was a small plant in the corner beside the long desk that cut the room into two. The industrial carpet was flecked with orange. It almost matched the colour of the receptionist's hair. As the heavy door closed behind me she looked up over her thin rimmed glasses. Her face paled and she looked at me. Like she had seen a ghost.
She quickly composed herself and picked up some papers. “You must be Camilla?”
“Just Millie… Camilla is a granny name” I laughed.
“Of course Millie… You look just like your mom” She stared at me.
“I get that a lot”
The receptionist gathered my class schedule, attendance slips for my first day and a map of the school. The receptionist was overly friendly. She went through my class list and highlighted the best route to each one. I thanked her before I headed back out into the still misting rain.
There were more cars in the lot now. Mostly older models which I recognised as I had been used to helping Dean and Dad fix up on the rare occasion Dad actually worked as a mechanic.
The nicest car in the lot was a shiny silver volvo, I was probably only around a year old if that. I wouldn’t have a clue where to start looking if that car needed work.
I sighed and started towards my first class in building three. The building, like the office was easy to find, the building just behind the cafeteria had a large black number three painted in a white square on the side.
I followed two people in unisex raincoats through the door. They paused in the door and hung up their coats so I did the same. The people I followed were two girls. One had bleach blonde hair and the other was a mosey brown colour. They were laughing and chatting with each other.
I took my attendance slip up to the teacher… Mr Mason, he was a tall balding man. Mr Mason was wearing a brown tweed suit and had thick rimmed glasses. He took the slip from my hands and stared at my name and me wide eyed. I didn’t know what response I had expected after the receptionist this morning. I guessed my mom left a big hole in this town when she died.
After Mr Mason composed himself he sent me to a desk at the back of the room. It was harder for the students to stare at me when I was at the rear of the room. They still managed. I would look up from my notebook where I was copying the reading list into the back of the book. I had read most of what was on the list during long nights on the road or the many times I had been left alone in a cheap motel in whatever town we had a case in.
The bell rung, its high pitched nasal buzzing bringing me back to the present. I packed up my books and shoved them into my bag.
“Umm… You must be Camilla Winchester” A thin greasy boy with acne and pitch black hair was standing in the aisle next to my desk.
“Millie…” I corrected standing from my desk.
“Uh cool… Millie… What class do you have?”
I pulled out my crumpled schedule…
“Government with Mr Jefferson in Building Six” I said.
“I'm heading to building four, I can show you the way” He smiled awkwardly…”Im Eric… by the way”
Eric shifted his cross body bag.
“Thanks” I threw my back pack over my shoulder as Eric led me out of the room.
The rain outside had picked up now and was seeping through my jacket. I really had to invest in a raincoat. Maybe a parka.
“So… where are you from?” Eric asked
“All over, I grew up on the road” I shrugged
“Cool, so like have you seen the grand canyon”
“Yeah totally” I thought about the time Dean took Sam and I to the Grand Canyon while dad was out on a hunt.
“It must be weird staying in one place”
“I guess, i mean I’ve only been here for two days so far… and it’s different”
“Why did you grow up on the road?”
“My dad owned a carnival and he needed someone the throw knives at” I muttered sarcastically
Eric stared at me. He looked like he wasn't sure if I was joking or not. We had made it to the building now.
“Good luck” Eric smiled as I opened the door.
“Thanks” I stepped inside.
I couldn’t help but notice Eric walking off back in the direction we had just come from.
The rest of the morning passed in much the same fashion. I started to notice similar faces in my classes. Mr Varner, my Trigonometry teacher, was the only one who made me introduce myself to the class. I muttered some vague information about moving in with my uncle Charlie and sat down. Other than that the day was proceeding pretty well. In every class there was always someone braver than the rest who introduced themselves to me.
Most people just asked me how I liked Forks. I didn’t have much of an answer for them so I mostly just said it was fine so far.
I was glad I didn't need to use the map yet I was sure it was just as crumpled as my schedule if not worse.
A girl who was in my Trig and Spanish class walked with me to the cafeteria. Her name was Jess. I couldn’t help but think about Sam’s girlfriend, I knew this girl had nothing to do with her. I tried to pay attention to what Jess was saying. She was mostly blabbing about boys, teachers and classes. Jess was shorter than I was, which was hard considering I was only five foot one, but she had wildly curly hair that made her look taller than me.
Jessica led me to the end of a table full of her friends, she introduced me to all of them. They all seemed impressed by her bravery in talking to me. I looked around the large cafeteria and noticed the boy from English Eric waving at me from across the room.
Many of the people around me tried asking me questions, but there wasn’t really much I could say. Eventually they began to talk about assignments and the current drama between students. I glanced around the room again uninterested in these topics that I didn't know anything about. Then I saw them.
Five extremely pale students sat in the far corner of the cafeteria. The were just sitting, they each had a tray of untouch food in front of them and unlike all the other students they weren't staring at me.
There were three boys and two girls at the table. All of them were looking in different directions and they were not interacting with each other. Of the three boys one of them was big muscled, he reminded me of a weight lifter with curly dark hair. The next boy I looked at was leaner but still muscular, he had chin length honey blonde hair, he looked almost like he was in pain. The last was more boyish and lanky, less bulky than the others, he had messy bronze hair.
The girls were complete opposites, one was a tall blonde who looked like the girls I had seen on the cover of some of Dean's dirty magazines. Her long golden blonde hair waved perfectly and hit the middle of her back.
The other girl was short and pixie-like. Her black hair was cropped short pointing in every direction, she was thin to the extreme and even all her features were small.
Despite how different they all were they were all exactly alike. The same straight features, chalky pale skin, paler than anyone else i had seen here, and they all had dark eyes. They all looked tired with dark circles under their eyes.
As I watched them from across the cafeteria the small girl stood up and almost danced across the room and dumped the tray into the bin. She was like a dancer in the way she moved. I looked back to the others at the table, none of them had moved. I couldn’t decide who was more beautiful. Perhaps the blonde model-like girl or the bronze haired boy.
I turned to Jessica and asked “Who are they?”
Jessica looked up but by the tone of my voice I guessed she didn't need to. As Jessica looked up the smallest boy turned and looked at us. Jessica and I looked back to our table quickly avoiding his eye contact.
Jessica giggled before she answered, “Thats Edward and Emmett Cullen and Rosalie and Jasper Hale… The one who left is Alice Cullen. They all live together with Doctor and Mrs Cullen” Jessica said under her breath.
I looked back at the table, the boy who had looked at us was now picking a bagel apart with his long thin fingers.
“They are all… uh.. Really hot” I let out an awkward laugh.
“I know right but they are all together… like together… together” Jess whispered “Emmett and Rosalie and Jasper and Alice. I mean… and they live together… it's totally weird.”
It was quite the drama, even in the big city they would cause a stir.
“Which ones are the Cullen’s? They don't look related”
“Oh they aren’t, Doctor Cullen is really young like twenties or thirties, they’re all adopted… the Hale’s are twins, brother and sister… the blondes… they’re foster children”
“Aren’t they a little old for foster children”
“Well yeah, they are 18 but they’ve been with Mrs Cullen since they were 8, i think… they are her niece and nephew, or something”
“That's so nice of them too look after so many children when they are so young”
“I guess so” Jessica admitted, reluctantly “I don’t think Mrs Cullen can have kids”
I got the impression that Jessica didn't like the Cullen’s. I glanced back at the strange family, all sat looking at different walls.
“Have they always lived in Forks?”
“No they moved down a few years ago, i think they were somewhere in Alaska”
I looked back again and stared at the youngest boy, he looked up and made eye contact with me. It was strange, he looked frustrated and confused as he stared at me. Like he was expecting something but he couldn't find it.
“Who’s the one with the reddish hair” I turned back to Jess
“That’s Edward Cullen” Her tone was bitter as she said his name. “He’s gorgeous of course but don't waste your time he doesn't date apparently none of the girls here are good looking enough for him.”
I wondered when he had turned her down, she was obviously still bitter about it.
It was unsettling to watch the Cullen’s as they stood and left the cafeteria, they were too graceful.
I had sat at the table longer than I would have if I was alone. One of my new acquaintances had Biology II with me in the next hour. She kept reminding me her name was Angela. She was considerably taller than I was.
Angela walked to class with me. It was refreshing walking with Angela, she wasn’t asking me a million questions, she just walked next to me in silence.
When we entered the classroom Angela headed straight to her seat at one of the black top lab tables. I looked around the room and noticed there was only one empty seat. Next to who I recognised as Edward Cullen from his untidy hair and pale skin.
I made my way up the aisle to the desk where Mr Banner was sat. As I made my way past Edward I couldn't help but look at him. As I did Edward stiffened in his seat. He glared at me his eyes were pitch black, and the way he was looking at me was hostile, furious.
I walked quicker towards Mr Banner who signed my slip and directed me to the only free seat. The seat next to Edward who just looked at me like he wanted to kill me.
I placed my book onto the desk and sat down, letting my hair cover as much of my face as it could. I couldn’t help notice the way Edward looked away from me like he smelt something bad. I moved my face and sniffed the collar of my shirt worried I hadn’t washed it. But it smelt like laundry detergent.
Throughout the lesson Edward never relaxed; he kept his fist clenched on his left leg. I couldn’t understand his reaction to me. It wasn't just him being a loner or socially awkward. This was something more. This was a deep hatred and it confused me, I had never met this strange boy before.
Unless he was possessed. Maybe I should call my brothers… No this was Forks, there were no demons or monsters here. It was safe, there were no mysterious disappearances or mutilated cows. I was looking for a sign that there were demons here so I was finding whatever I could that fit the model I had made in my mind. It was just confirmation bias. That was all.
The bell rang and Edward disappeared from the room quickly. I stared after him shocked that someone I had just met could act like that.
“Hey aren’t you Camilla Winchester?” A blonde boy asked.
“I just go by Millie,” I smiled.
The boy was cute. He had a round baby-face with cool blue eyes. He had his blonde hair gelled into spikes. He was leaning on the lab table next to me.
“I’m Mike.”
“Hi, Mike”
“So do you need help finding your next class?” He smiled softly at me.
“Ooh, I actually have gym next… I don’t think i will have any trouble finding it” I picked up my bag.
“No way… That’s my next class too.” Mike seemed thrilled. But it wasn’t much of a coincidence in a school this small. I had lots of different classes with the same students.
Mike and I walked to Gym together. He talked a lot. Mike was originally from California and had moved to Forks when he was ten. His parents owned the hiking store just outside town. As it turned out Mike was also in my English class.
Mike was the nicest person I had met today.
“So did you stab Cullen with a pencil or what?” He asked as we entered the gym.
“Was that the boy I sat next to in biology?” I decided to play dumb.
“Yeah” Mike smirked. “He just looked like he was in pain… don’t worry about it the Cullen’s are weird”
“I didn’t even speak to him,” I shrugged.
Mike lingered next to me instead of heading into the locker room.
“If i was lucky enough to sit next to you… i would have spoken to you”
I smiled at Mike as I headed into the girls locker room.
The gym teacher Coach Clapp managed to find me a gym uniform but didn’t make me change. I sat in the corner of the room and watched four games of volleyball playing simultaneously.
Finally the last bell rang signalling the end of the day. I made a quick get away and walked slowly to the office. It was cold now, my damp jacket didn’t protect me from the wind that was now picking up.
It was pleasant stepping back into the warm dry office. My bliss didn’t last long, at the counter stood Edward Cullen. I stood against the back wall of the office and watched as he argued with the receptionist. He didn’t even acknowledge my entrance. I quickly gathered the gist of the argument. He was trying to change from sixth period biology to any other time. His voice was low and attractive.
As I stood pressed against the back wall of the office the door next to me opened, the girl who entered letting the cold breeze into the room. My hair flew around my face. I gently brushed it back and watched as the girl dropped some papers into a basket and quickly left again.
Edward was looking at me now, the same hostile look in his eyes. He turned back to the receptionist stiffly.
“Never mind then… I can see it is an impossibility” His voice was like velvet and honey.
He turned quickly on his heel and left the room.
The receptionist smiled at me warmly.
“How was your first day dear” She gently took my slips from me.
“It was okay I guess” I shrugged.
I could tell by the look on her face that she didn’t believe me.
By the time I made it back to my car, I was one of the last in the lot. I hated Forks and didn't understand why my brothers sent me to this hell hole of a town. I could be out there helping them find dad. But instead I was stuck here alone trying to be a normal teenager. I drove back to Charlie’s annoyed at the situation I had ended up in.
The next day was better and worse. Better because it wasn’t raining yet so I didn’t start the day off already soaked to the bone. Better because Mike sat next to me in English and walked with me to my next class while Eric glared at him the whole time. I found it amusing.
It was worse because I was forced to participate in gym class, I had never seen the appeal of sport… Most of my exercise was in the form of running from monsters and fighting… volleyball used none of those skills. And it was worse because Edwards wasn't in school at all. I had psyched myself up to confront him, find out what his problem was and if he was possessed. I had holy water in my drink bottle. I was going to spill it on the desk and hopefully him, but if he wasn’t here I couldn't do that.
In fact Edward wasn’t at school for the rest of the week. Perhaps I wasn’t the reason for his absence. It must have been something else that caused him to act like that. As the week passed I realised Forks wasn’t as bad as I had initially thought. I began to settle in and get into the groove of things.

The next day, as sunny as usual, though some grey clouds passing by, it was the day that has kept inside for awhile now, will be revealed to hear. Though it's not so easy.
James May has arrived back at the park and now is waiting for the children, Tamia and Cleo, under the tree, promised them to come here and explained everything to them. As he wait for the two, he felt a little reluctance about this. One is why the children need to know him? And two, will he tells them who he was?
Letting out a sigh, he tries to clear his head a bit by looking at the trees as the wind flowing within the leaves, though he is still reluctance about the topic. He just have to wait for the children, that's all it matters.
"Mr May!"
The voice rang in his ears from the distance and James turned his head to that voice and his mouth stretched to a grin as he sees the children, Tamia and her little brother, Cleo, has arrived, but with no parents around.
"Hello, you two!" he greeted them. "You've finally here, I thought your parents won't let you both see me. I forgot to tell you not to tell your parents or anyone that we shall met here again." "Oh don't worry, Mr May," Tamia said. "I told my parents that we want to meet the Johnson family, because they want us to come over to their home with their cousins to play some games."
James lets out a sigh of relief. 'Well, that's probably a good thing.' he thought.
"Nice one, my dear," he said to Tamia. "But please called me James. Mr May sounds a bit old, despite I'm being old myself." "So, can you tell us now? You promised us you'll tell us," Cleo asked him. James's grin suddenly turned into a thin smile. He wanted to tell them, but deep down, it was too soon to tell. If he told them, will they believe him? Will they trust him?
'Will they...'
Without other options, he takes a deep breath, and as he opens his mouth to speak, a different voice called out.
Tumblr media
"Hey kids!"
Everyone turned to that voice and out of the blue, a tall, handsome looking man arrived. He wore blue shirt, jeans and sneakers, and his hair is a bit grey.
"Huh? Uncle Tommy?" Tamia spoke, recognized who is that person was. "That's me, kiddo!" the man, known as Tommy by his first name. His eyebrow raises up when he noticed James May. "And you are?"
"An English muppet," James began. "Funny, very funny," Tommy said with a smirk. "The name's Vercetti. Tommy Vercetti." "The drug lord of Vice City I presumed?" James replied with a sarcastic tone. "What are you, a cop?" Tommy inquired. "No, I'm just an arse," James snided with a smirk.
"What are you doing here, Uncle Tommy?" Cleo asked Tommy. "Looking for you guys, that is," Tommy replied. "Actually, I came here, stopping by to see your parents and others. Your mom told me you went to see the Johnsons, but instead you met.. whatever he is."
"We were just chatting, no big deal here," James replied. "Yeah, I can see that," Tommy said. "Anyway, come on kids, I want to take you somewhere more fun than here." "But Tommy!" Tamia whined. "We just got here."
James groaned of this, but decided not to stop them. "Go on, you two. Maybe someday we could talk about it. Alright?" "But-" "No buts, Tamia," James stops Tamia's sentence. Tamia and Cleo sigh in disappointed but decided not to protest and walks with Tommy out of the park, while James is watching them go and waved goodbye as the kids looking back at him before they entered the car and drove away.
James lets out a groan while rubbing his face down with his hands. "Bad timing this one," he muttered, before starts muttering curses while facepalming his face with both hands multiple times before stopping to calm himself down.
'Someday sooner or later...'
_______________________________________
Finally post this, the continuation of the previous post. I made Tommy Vercetti's first appearance in the screenshot. Not very accurate of Tommy because I couldn't find a Hawaiian t-shirt and such.
Oh by the way, the user, ashmirkier, who wrote the GTA The Holy Trilogy on ao3, has deleted their Tumblr account, and deactivated their Twitter account, before activated again and later, probably deactivated that account two days later.
Damn, this is sucks...

~ Pink Lemonade (Part 13) ~
Though hearts have been broken, hatchets are also buried. Somehow, Connie is being punished for it all.
Prev - Next
Warning(s): language, mentions of cheating
(Y/N) can’t even accurately recount how she got to this moment.
One minute, she was clawing at Reiner’s shirt in an attempt to stop him from killing Eren. The next, she is single, confused, and somehow sitting in the passenger seat of her high school ex’s Honda Accord.
Go figure.
The silence in the car is so very loud. So much to think about, and yet neither party can articulate the questions they have for each other.
Instead, Jean settles on clearing his throat and awkwardly asking, “You okay?”
She sighs and glances down at her phone.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
No response from Reiner. Not that (Y/N) anticipates much else. The girls yelling at her is also not unexpected. Marco texting is a pleasant surprise, however. And she doesn’t even have the mental energy to read through the group chat more than once. 
But... yes. She’s okay. She’s okay because Jean is familiar. Jean is her rescuer from that disastrous party. Jean is...
A cheater! Right? Or... what did Sasha mean?
“I’m fine. But...”
“An explanation?” He interjects, taking his eyes off the road for a moment to worriedly glance at her. “I wish I knew, but I never cheated on you. That much I can say with certainty. Did you read my texts?”
“I... no. I got mad. Sorry.”
“I never cheated. I never heard a rumor about cheating or I would’ve said something. I don’t know why Reiner told you what he did, but I would never hurt you like that. I mean it when I say that I thought you were my...”
He trails off. She thinks she knows the blank there, but decides not to push him.
“I didn’t... I don’t even know what to say.”
“I can’t even imagine what he could’ve possibly conjured up as ‘evidence’. I don’t think I even really came into contact with him all that much outside of games and practices.”
Suddenly, she feels foolish — the only “evidence” she was ever given was a story about Jean kissing someone at a Halloween party. Reiner had been very convincing, telling her not to say anything about it since he was the only witness and didn’t want to start drama... telling her that it wasn’t worth it to accuse him because of everything else happening in his life... why the fuck did she just go along with all that, no question?
“I thought you ghosted me, (Y/N). And with everything going on with my mom and Marco and football, it hurt.” He sighs. “Not that it matters much now. I don’t blame you for it if you thought I cheated.”
“I am so sorry.” She says. 
“I am too. For this whole misunderstanding.” He responds.
But it’s now that he pulls into the parking lot of her dorm, pulling up and idling along the curb. (Y/N) almost doesn’t want to get out of the car. It feels so strange -- so unresolved. But she doesn’t know what else to say. She’s too exhausted to think.
“Are we okay?” She asks. He looks surprised at her words.
“I— yeah. Yes. We’re okay.”
“We have more to talk about, but I’m tired.”
He simply nods. 
“Bye, Jean.” 
“Bye, (Y/N).”
And with that, she shuts the car door. He watches her approach the dorm; watches her glance back as she makes it to the entrance and give him a small wave. And then she disappears.
Jean can’t get rid of the stupid smile on his face the entire way back to his own dorm.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A/N: feels good to be back, friends :)

Magnus heart surgery inspo?
say no more. Read this.
So sometimes I read stories where Magus had heart surgery/transplant and stuff and I'm not saying what you're writing is bad or whatever. Butttt, as a person who has had heart surgery I can give my two cents here and help inspire a very very small fandom uwu
Btw i'm a woman and I had heart surgery when I was super young! So it's probably not going to be accurate to the biology of an angry old man haha
cw for medical stuff.
depending on how good is your surgeon, is how well your scar is going to heal. (also how well you naturally scar)
like not all scars are super bumpy and red and intense. But there are surgeons/nurses/staff (whomever I guess, they're more than one person in the surgery room with you) who are more careful with their stitch work / cutting.
like my scar is 10+ years old but ever since I was young it wasn't super noticeable bc these people did a surprisingly good job.
You have metal wires holding your bones together.
they have to cut the sternum open to get to your heart and stuff, so to close it up they loop wires into both sides. It looks sort of like a shoe lace in x-rays.
depending on your age is depending on how many wires you're gonna have (I think?)
You can't do a lot of physical work after the surgery. Maybe like 10 months to a year.
I remember I couldn't play at recess lol. I did anyways (bc I would sneak out. (could have fucking died bro.))
the scar can itch.
the scar can be sensitive too. it can burn.
Protecting your scar from the sun people! Magnus would wear a shirt to the beach for the first year or so of his surgery.
pressing down on your scar area doesn't feel that great either. My mom threw an apple at me the other day and I caught it on my chest and I needed a moment.
It's not pain. but it's not fun...
You can remember the pain. No matter how out of it on drugs you were, if you think back on it you can remember the pressure/pain of the wires and stuff.
maybe it's more of a mental thing, or my brain just blocks the feeling of them idk.
you get a tube inserted into you as a drain right after the surgery. For me it was inserted through my belly button, for adults it's around the lower sternum area. (Magnus would have a scar on the lower sternum area.)
the tube goes all the way inside of you and lays directly under your heart/where they operated on. It looks like a transparent hose
They take the hose out while you're awake.
straight up without warning, a nurse will walk up to you, and they will pull it out like a clown with those weird infinity handkerchiefs.
I'm sure I was on some pain medication (going in and out of consciousness) but uh,,,I remember feeling every inch of that hose being pulled out guys. It felt like something moving from chest out my stomach.
I didn't get stitches either. She just smacked an extra sticky band-aid on that bad boy and she left. I wasn't traumatizing btw, it was just a very weird experience.
you have to take care of your stitches! they can get infected! and the scar can look darker/bigger on the infected stitches!
needles. needles in your arm, hand, everywhere. I had one in my back at some point (that one had like teeth or something? It felt like a zipper when they pulled it out of me and when I looked back it was like a blue zipper thing).
Cardiologist appointments every year.
Cardiologist also kind of suck, bc the waiting room is always packed with super old people and they look at you weird bc you wear ripped jeans. Imagine Magnus just being starred down by a grandma bc of his hair.
echocardiograms. They suck.
It's a sonogram of the heart. They are press this flat wand against your chest, which doesn't feel fun bc of he wires and stuff. And they dump half a bottle of cold silicon based lube on you to glide the wand better, and it spreads everywhere, and you're tying to stay still and not kick your legs while he technician pressed the same spot with the wand and she says nothing the entire time. But it also sucks if she does say something.
anyways they finish up and leave you with a whole chest worth of lube and they only give you ONE paper towel square for you to clean up and get dressed.
When she leaves you steal more...but it's never enough.
I don't even have chest hair, imagine the men who do. Poor Magnus.
chest pains.
your heartbeat sounds deferent too. (depending on what you had done, it can be heard even without a stethoscope.)
Holter monitor at some point.
It's a box with wires clipped onto patches that you wear for two days. It's done to monitor your heart beats for a full 24 hours. The patches get itchy and if you scratch at them the box registers the movement as heart beats and when the Cardiologist looks at the tests it just straight up looks like you just had a heart attack.
fashion-wise your scar will show. Tank tops, V necks, Bralettes, the scar will peak through the top.
Clothes has never really bothered my scar, but after surgery I would wear button-ups or super big t-shirts since my movement was limited.
look up femoral artery. They use that on some heart procedures too.
That's about all I can think of. hope this helped someone with their writing/art <3

I’m betting most of us haven’t read it, because my mom is the only person I know who’s read it, but I’m in the middle of Clan of the Cave Bear and y’know, Ayla is actually a really interesting study of what basically being nonbinary but by a standard that’s wildly different from our society’s looks like - in a very literal way, she’s basically xenononbinary; she’s functionally nonbinary to the Neanderthals she’s living with by dint of not being a Neanderthal and thus not fitting their biological and sociological structures of womanhood.
For those who aren’t familiar: Ayla is the protagonist of the Earth’s Children series by Jean M. Auel. She’s a modern human, Homo sapiens, who lost her family in an earthquake when she was six years old and was subsequently taken in by a clan of Neanderthals. The series’ understanding of the differences between Sapiens and Neanderthals are somewhat outdated (although they were painstakingly accurate to the knowledge we had when they were written and this is in no way a slight against Auel), but they are very interesting. Among other things, the series puts forward the (entirely speculative and somewhat fantastical) idea that Neanderthals have a thing called Memories, where they can essentially retrieve memories from their entire ancestral line - at the cost of struggling to learn any new skills, and of skills having become hard-divided between men and women so that men essentially can’t learn women’s skills and vice versa. That results in a lot of things being part of a very strict gender binary, which no one even thinks to question (full disclosure that I don’t love that last bit because it feels like the author felt she had to justify having a patriarchal society with biological essentialism, buuuuuuuuut that’s another story).
Enter Ayla - a Sapiens child who doesn’t have Memories, doesn’t have the biological imprint of what “should” be the Dos and Don’ts for women, and has a lot more curiosity than Neanderthal women do about the things they’re not supposed to know. Not only that, but she has a male totem, one of the strongest totems in existence, the cave lion, when women are supposed to have weaker totems (so that the man’s totem can overcome hers and lead to pregnancy, it’s a whole Thing). She’s marked as different right from the start, and different because she blurs the line between male and female. As she grows older, she physically matures differently from those around her - Neanderthals mature much, much earlier than Sapiens, and as a result the clan starts to wonder if she might never start her periods and become a woman, if she essentially might not be “fully” woman. Even later in the book (spoilers), she essentially teaches herself to hunt using a sling and becomes extremely good at it, something Neanderthal women are absolutely forbidden to do, and when the clan finds out they have a whole conversation where they even outright bring up the idea that she might be “part male” because of it.
Anyway. I don’t know where I’m going with this, other than I think some of y’all with gender-species interactions might enjoy and relate to Ayla as a character that’s distinctly Different And Somewhat Estranged because of both species and gender stuff, and often because of the interplay between the two. She’s an interesting read on what happens when an individual of a species with (presumably) little to no instinctual difference between sexes gets raised accidentally by a species with heavy differences between sexes/genders and I feel like some nonhumans might relate to her.

Hufflepuff!Muggleborn Extensive Dating A Malfoy Headcanons:
Okay so this got very long very fast but I apologize for nothing.
Tumblr media
So you’re pretty much terrified of getting your Hogwarts letter because you have no idea what magic is but now you’re a wizard???
You go anyway and see a blond little boy at Diagon Alley with his parents and his mother has the same list as your dad does
So maybe you follow the little boy around and pick out the things he does because he seems to know what he’s doing
Then you heard his father hiss “disgusting mud blood” your way and your face kinda falls because you thought maybe you found someone who could help and we’ll never mind
Your dad takes your hand and snaps at Lucius “what kind of example is that for your son? No, I’m not one of your lot but you shouldn’t take it out on my daughter!”
Draco peeks out from behind his fathers robes and looks at the tears in your eyes and maybe he does feel a little bad
You absolutely adore your wand
At the station a few older years can tell you’re new and very Muggle in your tshirt jeans and converse that they sort of adopt you one of them being Cedric
You’re not so scared anymore because it seems like maybe these people aren’t so bad
Some kid named Fred buys you a Chocolate Frog and his twin warns you about their sentience
You meet a few other first years and Hermione Granger whos also a muggle and you sort of lament about all of it. She’s super excited because there’s so much to learn and you start to adopt her perspective
You see the boy from Diagon Alley sneering and bullying other kids and you go up to him with the same fire in your eyes that you dad had and tell the boy off a-al-Muggle
He just laughs and scoffs but you don’t back down which scares him because everyone always backs down
Big brother Cedric comes over and tells Malfoy off for calling you a mudblood again and ushered you back to a compartment of other Hufflepuffs and someone explains to you the house system
“Well that’s kinda stupid,” you decide “why should we be separated based on what a magical hat thinks we might be?”
Cedric grins at you because you remind him of himself and stands clapping when you’re sorted into Hufflepuff
Momma Sprout helps you so much because she knows that her muggle born kiddos need the extra comfort and encouragement
You have Herbology with the Slytherins and that meant Draco Malfoy his name was rattling around your head since the Sorting Ceremony
You end up partners with him. You’re shy and quiet and he’s dismissive and snappy.
“Draco you shouldn’t—“ “Don’t tell me what to do! Filthy little mudblood.” You sit back and watch the Doxy bite him “well get help!” He demands “I thought you didn’t want a mudbloodas help,” you snap. He gives you a hopeless look and you administer the antidote and produce a Bandaid “stupid muggle bandage”
While he’s sulking you handle the Doxy properly and show him how it’s done without being snotty about it. Maybe you smirk at him when you catch him leaning in and watching closely
It’s not friendship but he doesn’t call you mudblood anymore so... there’s that
Cedric nearly has a heart attack when he asks about your first day and you tell him about Draco
You find your footing at Hogwarts and though you’re not the best in class you can still do magic and it’s SO FRICKIN COOL MOM I MADE A FEATHER FLOAT TODAY
You chat with Draco thoughout the year in class well you talk to him he doesn’t say much. “And my mom was so proud when I told her about the Goblin wars and my dad wants to see me leviosa a feather but I told him I can’t do magic outside of school...”
Then there’s a quiet “your parents are proud of you? And interested in all this stuff?”
You look at him, mystified and “...yes? They’re proud of whatever I do,” Draco looks down and continues to sketch the bowtruckle which is almost life like on how accurate it is
You write to your parents immediately asking them to send a letter to Draco and tell them all about his really good drawings in Herbology
It takes a few days but one morning Draco comes up to you in the Great Hall with a parcel
“I think this is yours, your stupid owl gave it to me” he sulks. “It has your name on it,” you point out. “But why would your parents...?” You shrug and go back to talking to your friends and reading your own letter from your mother. Draco huffs and mutters something under his breath and walks away
In Herbology he has a new set of very Muggle graphite pencils and a proper sketchbook and he’s just sketching the Mandrakes on the desk when you come in. He doesn’t say anything and neither do you. He’s less irritable now
It’s second year and you hug your parents and go say hi to your friends before finding a compartment for the long journey. You swap muggle candy for magic candy with your friends
Draco passes your compartment and you wave. He gives a half smile and keeps walking.
“You like him!” Your friends exclaim. “What? No! I don’t!” You turn very red. “He’s just a friend!!” No one is convinced
This year you have potions with Draco and you’re freaking out inside because you don’t know what you’re doing and Snape seems to have it out for you and you’re just a mess.
Draco volunteers to be your partner “to show this mudblood a little decorum and how things are properly done.” He scoffs
You look down, embarrassed but as soon as Draco is next to you, you hear a quiet apology.
You understand the charade he has to put on but you wished he didn’t and you really wish he’d stop calling you mudblood it was rather annoying
He helps you through potions like you helped him through Herbology. This year you have Herbology with the Ravenclaws and he has it with the Gryffindors. He totally whines to you all the time about Harry
Once he’s complaining and accidentally puts in the wrong ingredient and the entire thing threatens to explode. Before you know it, you’re on the ground under Draco who pulled you and the remnants of the potion is shielded from you because Dracos robes are draped over you
Snape scolds you for being stupid and you start to protest but Draco confesses that it was him mistake, not yours. Snape just eyes the pair of you and walks off.
“Thank you,” you stammer out. He rolls his eyes but there’s a soft smile on his face.
Boy does Draco flip out when he hears about the Chamber of Secrets because you’re in potential danger and he would willingly sacrifice Granger to keep you safe
He mentions that to you in Potions one day and you gap at him. “Draco killing anyone for any reason isn’t right.” You scold. There’s a cold look in his eyes and a fire in yours. “But... thank you... for worrying about me,”
Your friends still pester you because they can obviously see you like Draco and maybe you do... but you know he doesn’t like you so you’ll just ignore your feelings
Third year comes and your heart skips a beat when you see Draco because he grew a lot over the summer and his hair is no longer ridiculously slicked back and oh Merlin you’re in trouble
Unbeknownst to you Dracos heart flutters when he sees you and has to fight the urge to wave or say hi to you in front of his father.
This year you have History of Magic together
He sits down next to you without a second thought. You smile and say hi and ask about his summer and then he returns the question. Your muggle summer and his magic summer are both a bit lost on the other
“Didn’t you wear glasses?” He asks one day. “Oh, my mom let me get contacts,” “contacts?” “Um... like plasticy little doodads that go in my eyes and help me see?” He just stares and you laugh. “Too Muggle?” You ask. “Too Muggle,” he replies.
Now it’s a sort of game. Youll come in with something Muggle—Pens, notebooks, lined paper, Muggle books, a watch—and Draco decides whether it’s “too Muggle” or not for him. He quite likes pens and lined paper but you can keep your Muggle books
You tell your parents again and Draco gets a package filled with green notebooks and black pens and a pencil pouch with a snake on it.
You hear about the Buckbeak incident and you rush off to find Draco. He’s in the infirmary snapping at Pomfrey but softens when he sees you
“She’s just trying to help,” you scold softly. “Are you alright?” “Doesn’t hurts much anymore but it’s numb so...”
Pomfrey wants to keep him a few hours to make sure that his body is reacting to the medicine correctly and you stay with him.
“You know I’ve been thinking,” you start. “That’s scary,” he mutters. You hit him playfully and notice that he flinches so hard you note it and continue “I’ve been thinking that it really doesn’t make sense for you to call me a mudblood,” “and why not?” He snaps. “Well, I mean... I’m technically all muggle. If anyone was really a mudblood wouldn’t it be halfbloods? With a muggle and wizard parent?”
He doesn’t have an answer to that. So he sulks quietly. “Why doesn’t it bother you that I call you that?” He asks quietly. You shrug. “Sometimes I wonder if I really belong here. Your adamant hatred for me is comforting. Like I’m doing something right enough to make you upset about it.”
He doesn’t know what to say to that either. He didn’t know that you were insecure about being a wizard. Of course, you belonged here you were wonderful with magic and your hexes were remarkable.
“I don’t hate you,” he mumbled. “Sure you’re annoying with your cheery disposition and your... Converse trainers... but I don’t hate you.” You laugh and he thinks it’s a wonderful sound
“Well, I don’t hate you either,” you smile back. You don’t think it’s something but it’s definitely not nothing
You hear about what happens between he and Hermione and you’re furious because he’s better than that and you can’t believe he would still call her a mudblood
You refuse to talk to him for a few days. Which is hard because he tries to make small talk with you.
One day in class he slips you a folded piece of parchment and you open it. Begrudgingly. “Im sorry, I was an arse. I shouldn’t have called her that.” You take your pen and scribble quickly “you’re apologizing to the wrong person.” And slide it back to him
Draco did apologize to Hermione before he apologized to you and he’s frustrated because he thinks you’ll think he’s lying if he said he already did
Then Hermione finds you in the hall that day and asks if you put Draco up to apologizing to her and you admit yes you did. And she tells you that he apologized a few days ago. Your heart soars and you hug a confused Hermione before running off to find Draco
He’s in the corner of the library, not reading, but drawing. You accidentally sneak up behind him and see that you’re the sketch on his paper.
“I don’t think my hair is quite that long,” you whisper softly and the boy about jumps out of his skin. You apologize quickly and he quickly covers his sketch book, red faced.
“I um. That wasn’t you.” He stammers turning a darker shade of red. You laugh. “Yes it was!” You reach for his sketchbook but he hugs it to his chest. “Oh come on Draco? What am I gonna do? Laugh?” “You’re laughing right now.” He points out. “And it’s not that good anyway...”
You roll your eyes and sit next to him. You offer to pose for him so that he could take his time to draw you. “Well I’m not busy now,” you grin and he sulks a moment before nodding.
You watch his hands work and sift through the pencils as he props the paper up on his knees and instructs you to look somewhere and not to move.
It’s odd, being drawn. You close your eyes and hum softly knowing he was studying you the way he might a bowtruckle or mandrake and it feels weird. A good weird.
He refuses to let you see the drawing even though you persist. You pout and drop the matter, just glad to have a friend in him.
You begin meeting in the library on a weekly basis, partly so he can draw you partly because you’re both struggling in History of Magic and need more study time
Cedric is not happy about any of this and goes very “protective big brother” on you. You tell him off and huff.
You start going to his quidditch matches and maybe he almost runs into a goal post because you smiled and waved at him and he forgot to pay attention
The summer comes and you wave goodbye knowing as soon as he’s around your father you’re going to lose your fried.
But he surprises you and hands you his sketchbook on the train home then quickly runs away to his father and you just stare at it and him and he’s gone, all you see is two heads of silver blond hair receding in the distance
Your parents usher you into the car and it’s maybe two hours before you get to look at the sketchbook
When you do open it you see a sketch of a bowtruckle and “Steve” written one his careful script underneath. You had forgotten that you named the bowtruckle Steve that day in class
The next few sketches are from Herbology. And little notes about class that day, a lot of them are about you. Then there’s a break in Herbology drawings and there’s a drawing of his mother almost perfectly. Then of a family portrait of the three of them. A few vases of flowers. Then you see your face. And again. And again. It’s you. Smiling, laughing, concentrating on a book, raising an eyebrow at him, gnawing in your lip, asleep in class, then the library drawings that are much more detailed.
Then you’re crying and you want to call him and thank him but you CANT BECAUSE HE DOESNT HAVE A PHONE STUPID WIZARD FAMILY
But you do have an owl. You have no idea what to write. So you go with “thank you” and then send it.
You get a letter a few months later and it’s from Draco. He’s asking if you want to go to the Quidditch World Cup with him. “I know you’re Muggle and don’t like Quidditch much but...”
So you’re going with Draco and it’s weird because he’s on your doorstep with his mother and it is just a clash of worlds. You stammer goodbyes to your parents and you’re quickly ushered into the limo of a car next to Draco. You notice he’s changed his hair again and he looks quite dashing in his blazer. You get a little self conscious about your jeans and sweater.
Narcissa is a doll. She asks you about your summer and time as Hogwarts and keeps polite conversation and you thaw a little.
Though you have no idea what’s going on Draco is very excited about the game and is cheering and you can’t help but smile and maybe you take pictures with a Polaroid camera and he just rolls his eyes and you get a picture of him rolling his eyes
Fourth year comes and he is ushered away from you by his friends before he can say hi.
The kids from the other schools show up and you’re convinced that he like Fleur and he thinks you like Cedric and it’s just a mess
He’s back to being irritable and you’re slipping into depression not just because of him but everything is really weighing on you
You’re alone in the Astronomy Tower, your feet dangling off the edge. You had no intention to jump, but it was sort of thrilling. 
Draco flips the fluff out and nearly drags you from the edge. 
“What the hell are you thinking!?” He exclaims. You gape at him because it’s probably the first thing he said to you in a week. He’s just so scared that he was actually going to lose you that he pulls you close and doesn’t let you go. You start crying and everything just comes out in a word dump. Your brother is getting worse and stronger and it’s not good for you and he keeps putting you down and calling you a freak and that “no one is going to love me because I’m a freak and mom and dad think I’m fine because my grades are still fine but Draco I can’t... I’m slipping and... and I feel like I lost you and you were the only one who really believed in me and...” You’re just sobbing.
And he listens. He holds you and listens. 
“You haven’t lost me,” He whispers softly. “But you like Fleur... and I can’t ever be her... she’s just so perfect and powerful and...” You sniffle, hugging your knees looking at your beat up Converse. 
“She’s my cousin,” He almost laughs but doesn’t because of the look on your face. “And what about you and Cedric?” He raises an eyebrow and you blanch. “He’s like a big brother to me, gross,” You shove his arm and you’re both laughing. 
“There’s only one Hufflepuff out there for me,” He takes your hand and hello butterflies and blushing. “And there’s only one Slytherin for me,” You lay your head on his shoulder and watch the stars. 
You two start dating and Merlin his friends are livid because how dare he date a muggle hufflepuff? But then they watch him with you and it’s hard to deny that Draco is truly happy for once and they don’t want to take that from him
Your friends exchange bet money. 
Weekends filled with more games of “Too Muggle” and trips to Hogsmeade and Draco explaining wizard culture and you try to explain muggle culture but he just does not understand washing machines. You introduce him to muggle music and is thrilled that he loves ABBA. 
He makes everything hurt less. And it’s nice to feel wanted. 
Then Voldemort returns and everything changes and you weren’t ready for it. Draco gets cold and distant again and you try and try to get through to him but he doesn’t let you in. 
You end up screaming at him one night and walk out. He finds you curled up outside the Slytherin portrait, weeping not minutes later and carries you back inside to his dorm and apologizes and hold you and admits that he’s scared and he doesn’t want to lose you or see you get hurt
You both make an effort to find the sunshine in the proverbial dark times that linger through the next year. It means you become a but more calloused and jaded and he becomes a bit more optimistic and grateful. 
Pansy Parkinson doesn’t exist. It’s just you with Polyjuice potion to keep you safe from Draco’s aunt and Voldemort. It’s an easy charade to keep up. There are still quite nights when you’re yourself with Draco and he reminds you how much he adores the real you with his words and touch
If there’s one thing you don’t do, is break a Hufflepuff and that’s what Harry did after his sectumsempra and holy hell do you lose your cool.
Draco’s mother has to step in before you’re expelled for what you did to Harry
You nurse Draco back to health afterwards and never let Harry forget what he did, nor do you let anyone else forget it when they call him the chosen one
And Merlin does Draco love you for it
Draco can’t kill Dumbledore because your words are still in his head from second year “It’s not right to kill someone for any reason” and he just can’t disappoint you like that
You’re still kind. You’re kind to Luna when she’s locked up at the Malfoy Manor. You’re kind to the house-elves that attend to you. You’re kind, and value fairness and hardwork, but you will not put up with bullshit any longer. 
You and Draco stand with Hogwarts when the battle boils down to it. You give Draco your wand when he loses his to Harry.
When you go back eighth year, you advocate for the removal of the House System and write a very convincing argument against it. It takes about ten years, but the system is disbanded after one too many close calls and ruined lives
You also start a Support Group at Hogwarts for those suffering from mental illnesses and for those who have suffered abuse at home. 
You and Draco get married at the Manor. You wear your Converse.

...surprise part 2
warnings: tw for miscarriage , mh and eating disorder(though more like just really poor relationship with food) - please don’t read if these are sensitive topics
There will be a part 3!! This is v sad, um but from experience a bit so I’ve tried to be as accurate as possible, if this offends anyone please message me and I will take it down if that’s what you want xx
(this is fictional, and everyone’s experiences are different)
[part 1]
By the time it came to dinner at his parents there was still very much an elephant in the room. Tom had sort of assumed that later in the morning you’d properly explain it, at least bring it up? But you’d skilfully managed to dance your way out of the conversation every time there was the opportunity to talk it out. For example, even though Tom was pretty sure you’d already washed you hair this morning apparently you had to take the worlds longest shower in the world in preparation for his parents roast. It also didn’t go unnoticed that you’d locked the ensuite door while you were in there.
Now this might not seem odd to most but Tom knew this wasn’t right. You were 3 years deep at this point and when Tom was home the two of you really used to make the most of it- barely leaving each others side. This meant brushing your teeth together, showering and bathing together - or at least one perched on the bathroom shower while the other was washing. Just doing the mundane together, that was the intimate thing- it didn’t have to be sexual or encroaching personal space. Clockwork, that’s what it was. It had taken a bit of time at the start for you to open up and be body confident in front of Tom, yet you were both long since past that point - or so you had been. With every ounce of your being, you knew that Tom loved you for you. Frankly though, that was the issue… you weren’t you. Your body had changed , or rather withered away and that was your fault. Yet another thing to add to the list. Being conciously aware of how unattractive you looked, literally a shell of yourself, there was only a wave of sad acceptance to surged through when you did lock the door.
Because in your head you. knew. This was the beginning of the end of your time with Tom and it was all your fault.
/////////////////////////
“I can help with that.” Y/n’s voice got Nikki turning away from the sink where she was attempting to make a dent in the huge pile of washing up Sam had accumulated - the boy could most definitely cook, but clean up? Not one bit.
“No no dear you go sit with them.” She shooed and smiled kindly at the girl she thought of as an adopted child herself. Because honestly? She looked like she could pass out at any point just from standing up. She clearly tried to hide it- wearing a baggy knitted sweater and mom jeans- but even just from her face, you could tell she was gaunt.
“I-no I’ll dry.” Y/n spoke very matter of factly , making Nikki just nod in agreement since this was probably the most conversation anyone had got out of Y/n since she arrived.
Tom had texted them all before hand, with the very unspecific message of ‘please don’t mention anything she’s just been ill and stressed’ and followed up with ‘I really mean it.’ Unsurprisingly, everyone had lots of questions given the ambiguity of the message, however these were all answered as soon as the door had opened to the couple. So dinner went down quieter than normal, everyone noticing how protective Tom was being of Y/n - who never ever normally needed protection, (in fact sometimes the other way round).
So Nikki and Y/n stood side by side, silently washing up. They must’ve stood that way for 10 or so minutes, Nikki hesitant to say something that was wrong, but desperately wanting to break the silence. But Y/n took that job out of your hands.
“How did you find out you were pregnant with Tom?”
“Oh god now your making me think” Nikki laughed, suddenly so relieved at an easy topic “um I think it was a bit of a shock you know? We had spoken about kids but weren’t actively trying for one and then all of a sudden I was sick and took a test.”
“So Dom was happy about it though?”
“Of course he was over the bloody moon. The man was meant to be a dad you know? At least I think he’s pretty good at it.” Y/n giggled lightly at the question and nodded vehemently.
“Yeh he is… I think all your boys are - when I brought my cousins.” Y/n smiled a little at the memory of bringing her two toddler cousins round to Tom’s family home. Safe to say that day the kids were spoilt with attention and food and had all the boys wrapped round there little fingers.
“You might just be right there. Are you and Tom trying?” Nikki probed, testing the waters a little.
“No.” Y/n closed that thought path down very very quickly. “I er… I was just wondering.”
“Sorry I didn’t mean to-“
“No no it’s fine.”
Back to the silence of the washing up, the occasional clink of ceramics and culterlry clanging together reverberating through the otherwise empty kitchen.
“So you never had….um any issues with kids. No…er no losses or scares?”
Nikki suddenly had a much better guess at what this whole situation was about.
“One…. I lost a baby girl between the twins and Paddy. It-it hurt a lot and you know I still wonder sometimes. We just never had a little girl and it well, it would have been amazing… but I’m a firm believer of everything happens and if we never had that angel we maybe wouldn’t have Pads…”
“I’m sorry” Y/n muttered, Nikki noticing how her eyes were absolutely fixed on the frying pan she was drying up.
“I don’t mind love, and I think she’s still with us in her own special way you know.” Nikki studied how Y/n silently nodded, thinking it were going to drift back to silence - yet instead she gulped before speaking.
“I don’t think I want kids now. I do- but not right now. Just Tom’s still so busy and we aren’t married but-“ Y/n’s pace of talking suddenly dramatically picked up and Nikki could hear a wobble in her voice “but… no-one does the sort of nuclear family anymore do they? I mean suppose I did want that and-…. I don’t know but it would’ve worked out right?Like-like if I… if we um“
“Y/n love, please I just need to ask because I care about you… Did you loose a pregnancy?” Nikki hit the metaphorical hole in one. Although she was pretty certain before she’d even asked, the way Y/n froze and fear took over her expression said it all.
“I-“ Y/n stammered before forcing a controlled breath out through her nose, still looking down, now on the cutlery drying process. “I- yeh. I couldn’t do it and they-“ Nikki interrupted her, the tears brimming to such an extent the started escaping over Y/n’s eyelashes as Nikki took both the tea towel and forks out her hand.
“Come with me.” Nikki whispered in Y/n’s ear, directing her out the kitchen - leading Y/n’s small frame into Dom’s office, mainly because it was the opposite side of the house to where everyone else was.
She got Y/n sat down on the small striped sofa and joined her after retrieving a box of tissues from the window sill. At this point Y/n was properly crying, no matter how much she tried to swallow back her feelings or wipe away her tears with shaking hands. Nikki read the girl like a book, watching her try to bite back the pain.
“Love, you take a breath and then tell me what you want to.” Y/n was the one that brought up the topic, Y/n was the one that searched Nikki out that evening. Nikki knew she needed to get this off her chest.
“I found out just after Tom left for Atlanta and-and I was… I was pretty late anyway at that point, I think like …like 9 weeks they said? And I was terrified because we weren’t ready and Tom said he wanted kids in the future but not now and then…then they happened. I hated them at the start. They’d ruined my life I’d have to quit work because lets face it Tom just wouldn’t be around and then…. But-but I don’t know… I was waiting till Tom was supposed to get back. Cos then I’d have the scan picture and you sort of can’t say ‘I’m pregnant’ over the phone so. So yeh.” Nikki nodded, squeezing Y/n’s had gently, encouraging her to continue. “But then I had the scan and they had a heartbeat you know? Suddenly I was so in love with the little blob in my stomach and I was like it will all work out, because it just would and-and Tom-“Her voice cracked again, Y/n bit back the sob though and continued “Tom would be the best dad anyone could ever imagine.” Nikki exhaled heavily, pulling Y/n into her chest as she cried a bit more. Giving her a chance to ground herself again. It took a moment or two but then Nikki pressed a little again.
“He doesn’t know about any of this… does he?” Nikki knew this was something more than just telling her almost mother-in-law. This was Y/n telling someone , anyone, else for the first time. Speaking the words the first time. Making it hurt all over again. The answer wasn’t really needed, but Y/n still shook her head against Nikki’s shoulder, confirming her suspicions.
And then Nikki waited, waited for her to speak again.
“And then it was two weeks ago and I-I was 14 weeks. I had a bump and everything! But I was at dinner with my friend and I got this horrid pain in my stomach. And I knew it. I knew I….I had wished my baby away for weeks and weeks and they’d given up. I ran home and bled my baby away into the drain. And…..” She took a shaky breath, attempting to steady herself. “And I I was grieving I think? Well I think I still am. But I couldn’t eat and it was just like I didn’t do enough for them? So-so I was supposed to be getting my life sorted and you know getting over it this week before Tom came back. But then he came home last night and I-I had a migraine so I didn’t notice him until this morning. He-he was never supposed to see me like-like this! So-so I shouted at him, I was really mean. Really really horrid to him which is stupid because I love him so much and….and I killed his baby.” Y/n’s voice was raised as it also got more fragile - completely synchronised with Y/n herself, who looked like she was going to crack and break at any point.
It was important that she went through the whole story. It was important the Nikki just listened as she recounted the traumatic, vulnerable and oh so personal loss she’d gone through. It was important she let it out into the world for the first time.
“Y/n… look… these things just happens sometimes right? It’s no ones fault and… I know that the day you are blessed with a little baby you will be an incredible mother. I’d love to say I could somehow make you feel better but I’m not sure I can… when this sort of thing happened to me I needed Dom. He held me together and then picked up the pieces and - well we slowly put them back together. So you know why I can’t really help, don’t you?” Y/n sniffed, her eyes closed, but eventually after letting Nikki let silence in the air she nodded minutely. Nikki squeezed her palms tightly, as she looked at the girl with such deep empathy and sympathy. She could only imagine how traumatic it must be tp have this happen with your first child - especially without anyone else to lean on.
“Because you’re not Tom?” With an agreeing nod, Nikki stood up , withdrawing her hands from Y/n’s grip; rubbed up and down Y/n’s back before finally offering a plan.
“Look, I’ll go get him and you tell him what you told me okay? He loves you and he’s worried.”
After a little more comvinving and encouragement, Y/n steeled her nerve as Nikki fetched Tom. The two woman had agreed that the couple would just go back to their home, where Y/n, in her own space would tell Tom. Here she didn’t feel as if she could - this was unequal territory, this was Tom’s childhood home. Nikki knew that this fact would really be irrelevant - it only mattered if the couple somehow called it quits… and she knew without doubt that’d never happen.
///////////////////////////
Tom walked in quietly, clearly having been briefed that something was going on, taking notice of the tear tracks Y/n’d tried to wipe away and just how small and vulnerable she looked. Wordlessly, Tom crouched in front of her, his deep brown eyes swimming with warmth as they met hers.
“Mum said you wanted to go home… is that still okay?” She nodded jerkily in agreement, wiping her eyes once again before taking Tom’s hand as he guided her to stand. Nikki gave her a sad smile as her son led the two of them out the room and forward the front door.
It was hard- no doubt- but she had absolute faith in the relationship between the two.
They’d be okay.

renga week day 1: date
(this takes place in between episodes 10 and 11)
the morning after reki has the cindereki dream he realizes he feelings for langa
he panics at first because what if langa doesn’t like him like that but then he thinks back to their conversation from the night before and he’s not so sure it’s one sided
but he has no idea how to act of this and is almost late for school because he’s thinking about it so much
when he skates to school he sees langa at their meeting spot scrolling on his phone
reki apologizes for being late and tries to ignore the feelings langa’s smile stir in his chest
so as they’re skating to school reki is stuck in his head about what to do (“what do they do in movies when people like each other? what happens if i mess up? what happens if langa only see me as a friend?”) he tries to ignore the thoughts like these
he thinks back to his dream (did he actually marry langa?- does that mean he wants to in real life?-feelings are so confusing) and he’s not sure if he can’t just skate with langa as a way to court him seeing as they skate every day
he almost skates off the street when he remembers dates are a thing
so he compiled all his knowledge of romantic dates into a little folder in his head (sue him if most of the knowledge comes from his sisters’ books and shows)
reki doesn’t notice but langa keeps sending him concerned looks when reki only mumbles half responses to langa’s questions
reki isn’t his normal bright and bubbly self but he’s not like he was before their fight so langa hopes everything is ok
when they finally get to school reki has a semi stable idea of what he’s going to do
step 1: confront langa
step 2: ask langa to dinner
step 3: if langa says yes plan time together (if he says no skate into the sun)
it doesn’t seem to hard but every time he tries to talk to langa someone interrupts or langa takes it the wrong way then starts complementing reki thinking that’s reki is about to take down on himself
so finally when lunch rolls around reki tells himself, as he stands before the door to the roof, ‘you either ask him now or never’
and so reki steels himself and steps onto the roof only to find langa is not their yet (reki’s not sure whether to be disappointed or relived)
and so when langa comes up to their spot later than normal (he had to ask his teacher about something on the homework) he finds reki pacing, his bento left forgotten on the ground
langa tries to make small talk (school, skateboarding, S, anything to make reki talk to him) but gives up after reki doesn’t respond to langa waving a hand in his face
so langa goes back to sadly picking at his lunch and dosent expect reki to say anything (he’s stuck in his own head it ok) but the last thing langa expects reki to say is “go out with me”
langa stares at him
“like on a date” he blurts, face burning
“like- like romantically?”
“no platonically” reki snarks, joking to lessen his nerves
langa face falls instantly
“no wait no i was just joking! yes romantically...if you want to.” langa doesn’t say anything so reki continues “i like you langa, i’m not sure how long, but i just realized and i hoped you felt the same way.”
langa stays silent for a few more seconds before letting out a breathless “yes” and beginning to laugh
reki stares confused as langa continues to laugh
“wha-what’s wrong? what’s so funny? do i have something on my face??”
“well it’s just- i kinda thought we were already dating?”
now it’s reki’s turn to stare
“you what?”
“well im not sure how courting works in japan and you were so much nicer to me than everybody else, you taught me to skate, you built my board, you patched me up when i fell. i just thought that you showed your affection through skating or something.”
“i was just being nice to you!”
“well reki, i’m sorry for reading the situation wrong. but i like you too, so yes i would like to go out with you.”
and so they plan to meet up at one of the nicer restaurants in the area (not joe’s restaurant though, that would be to embarrassing. it’d be like bring your father on a date. or more accurately going on a date at your father figure’s place of work)
opting for more traditional fancy clothing, reki panics while trying to think of what clothes he hasn’t ruined during skating
but for the rest of the day, everyone seems to think langa is showing being very bright and not his emotionless self, while reki seems to but about 100x more happy then normal, smiling for the rest of the day, and practically blind anyone in a ten foot radius whenever langa is in the room
skating together to their meeting spot under the street light reki suddenly feels embarrassed. how do you say goodbye to someone after you admitted feeling and plan to go on a date later?
but apparently that awkwardness didn’t effect langa, who simply held up his hand in a wave, saying goodbye before skating to his apartment, as per usual
getting ready is a whole different mental battle thought
after finding something nice looking, nice smelling, and that fit reki had been home for two hours. they planned to meet up at 6:00 and it was already 4:30
when reki walked into the bathroom he realized he had forgotten he had hair. and so began another panic session where he tried to figure out what to do with his hair. should he keep the headband? should he gel it? should he just run a comb through it? should he just shave it all off?
and so finally reki stood looking himself in the mirror at ten till six, semi satisfied with his final product. he had found a nice unripped pair of jeans, which he paired with a black button up (which it may have had a small hole but hey it was a very small hole), his nicest sneakers, and he decided to forgo the headband, instead just combing his hair back. but as he opens his door he hears his mom and youngest sisters in the living room and knows he won’t be able to sneak past without them asking questions. so just as he’s about to close his door he sees koyomi, and they make eye contact. she notes his nice clothes and mouths ‘what?’ he holds a finger to his lips and hopes his eyes scream ‘please’ before silently shutting his door
he sneaks out the window and skates to their meeting spot
langa is already there and reki almost falls off his skateboard
he’s not wearing anything much different than normal (black slacks, a button up, plus an old red jacket over top) but his hair is pulled back from his eyes and reki swears they were never that blue
reki, again, is overcome with embarrassment (does he still go to do their dap? should he have brought flowers? should he-?)
but langa apparently knows what to do again. he holds his hand out for a dap, but after they finish he doesn’t let go “is this ok?” langa asks squeezing their joined hands. reki nods, unable to speak
then langa holds out his free hand “i know they’re not real flowers but i wanted to give it to you,” in his fist is a flower sticker “i’ve been studying how to make skateboard stickers, because i know you’re like them a lot and i wanted to make something for you after your made my board for me, so here you go.”
reki takes the flowers with a shaking hand, he looks up a langa, who looks a little nervous, “i love it,”
and in that moment reki realizes that their love language is skateboarding. that they’ve shown their love to each other through skating. and when words are not needed or cannot be found all they need to do is skate
and so reki slips the flower sticker into his pocket and says to langa “how about we ditch that fancy restaurant, it’s not really our style. wanna skate?”
langa’s bright smile is a sure enough answer

Hunter’s Choice
Who: Hunter Clarington & Frannie Fabray When: August 12, 2021 Where: Frannie’s Apartment What: Hunter considers what’s next for him now he’s graduated and has a proposition for Frannie.
Hunter’s Choice
Hunter had been lucky to be able to keep his apartment after graduation but the contract was coming to an end in just over a week and then he’d be forced to go home. Despite his father’s wishes, Hunter hadn’t signed up to join the army yet so it appeared as though going back to Canada would be his only option.
The wishes of Clarington Senior were more accurately demands in the form of daily phone calls or emails from Mr C’s “friends” in the US armed forces less than gently trying to persuade Hunter to join whatever training program they could pluck out of thin air for the son of a respected officer. Of course, none of this communication came directly from Mr C though as that would require him to give up his time to be part of his children’s lives, he could simply direct their paths from afar and continue to be hands on as little as possible. 
Between spending time with Frannie, Ollie and Benji whenever the latter wasn’t with his new boyfriend, and working with the Eagle Scouts program mentoring the young men aiming to achieve the highest award of the Boy Scouts, the summer had flown by in a blur of joy and excitement with his family which was barely keeping his fears for the coming fall at bay. 
Every time those fears threatened to overwhelm Hunter he’d go to the gym and swim lap after lap never stopping long enough to brake his concentration from his sights set on the spot on the wall at the other end of the pool and he’d only leave the water when he was in pain from either burning lungs or burning muscles from the effort he’d exerted. 
The 20th was fast approaching and Hunter needed to have a plan in place for the next step in his life, he couldn’t put this off any longer. He’d actually slept in his own bed in his own apartment the night before so thankfully he wasn’t disturbing Frannie and Ollie with his pacing, which he’d been doing for at least two hours now as he twisted the box in his hand between his fingers deftly as one might do with a pen. This was Hunters’ chance to change his trajectory and make his life his own and not live in his father’s shadow. 
Taking a deep breath Hunter walked up to Frannie’s apartment and by-passed knocking on the door and simply walking in. thinking on it hunter couldn’t even remember the last time he had knocked and waited for Frannie’s response. That apartment was more like grand central station these days what with Hunter coming and going as he pleased to spend time with Ollie, Sam and Nikko popping up whenever they wanted, and then Benji and Mason appearing out of thin air at all hours of the day or night. Hunter of a year ago would have laughed if someone had said this was going to be his life, and yet he wouldn’t change it for the world. 
“Hey babe,” Hunter called closing the door behind himself, feeling relaxed as soon as he was on the other side. “I wanted to talk to you about something.” He tugged nervously at his button up, smoothing down the bottom hem over top of his dark wash jeans, hoping Ollie wasn’t currently a sticky mess and ruin the white shirt. Hunt scolded himself momentarily for bothering to wear white in the vicinity of their son but he wanted to look good today. 
“You know it’s been embarrassingly obvious that I’ve had no idea what to do after graduation after you managed to talk me out of being my father’s carbon copy and I need to thank you for that somehow because I found something perfect for me, at least the next year. The swim team is looking for a coach for the next academic year. Ours is taking off and moving to New Zealand to coach an Olympic hopeful and I couldn’t pass up what seemed like a perfect opportunity. Yesterday I found out I got the job. So I’m staying here. I’ll be able to rent a home over at the on campus staff housing association so if you want, you and Ollie could live there with me?” 
Hunter had never spoken a sentence so quickly in all his life. He wasn’t the type of person to anxiously jabber on about nothing, he was brought up to be clear and concise but it was a big ask to propose such a thing to Frannie, to someone he felt so many things he’d never felt before. Frannie’s answer would be truly life changing for them all and he was about five seconds from starting to recall every single one of the Jewish Hebrew prayers Ben had taught him for luck.
Frannie's Response 
Frannie had been pulling all her classic moves to avoid talking about what was actually bothering her. Well, what had be bothering her for ages... but only now was back to the front of her mind since talking to Benji. It was ironic, really, that one of the people she was most concerned about in this whole situation was Benji, and now he was encouraging her to talk to Hunter about whatever was "weird." 
And despite what Sam kept thinking, the weirdness was not from some kind of unrequited love between herself and Hunter... but Sam had gotten into her head about what living with Hunter could mean. For a while, the thought had been circling her brain to tell Hunter that he should just move in with herself and Ollie when the lease was up now that he was no longer a student. She'd just figured that would be easier for everyone, right? And she had a spare room. Nothing had to really change, right? 
But with Benji living with her as of recent until the leases opened up for him to get his own place, the idea fell to the back of her brain. It would be weird to have him here and Hunter trying to move in too, or at least that's what she told herself. 
The door opened and she didn't even look over, just started talking. "I got more juice boxes. Also, string cheese, animal crackers, and some more p.b. and j for sandwiches, s-" She stopped speaking when she realized it was Hunter and turned her head quickly. "Oh shit, sorry. I thought you were Benji. Hey," she smiled before turning her attention back to the laundry she was folding, honestly unsure of what articles of clothing belonged to who. "What's up?" 
She nodded as she listened to him speak, glancing over every few seconds so he would know she was paying attention. She shook her head a little, her cheeks feeling a bit warmer, when he credited her with changing his mind- which seemed very unbelievable to her. But she stopped folding and turned to look at him with wide eyes when she heard his job opportunity. "Hunt! That's amazing, what the hell! You're going to be am- wait, what did you say?" She blinked, dropping the still unfolded shirt back into the basket and running her hand over her hair. "You want us to live with you? I-" She stammered a bit, letting out a small laugh. "That's- I mean, you... I was going to ask you that…"
Hunter’s Proposition 
“Good to know my brother is still actually showing up here, I swear he’s at the Smythe’s more than anyone else.” Hunter laughed, “Not that I blame him after Chris…” He huffed, grabbing down the bottle of bourbon he had hidden at the back of the highest cupboard in Frannie’s kitchen and pouring a couple of ounces into a glass to calm his nerves. Hunter still felt ill-will towards Chris after he found out Ben had needed to break up with his childhood crush, making Hunter more on edge than ever about Ben entering a new relationship because clearly people felt like they could treat the youngest Clarington like garbage and Hunter wasn’t going to stand by and let that happen again. 
Watching Frannie stumble a little as he continued to talk always amused Hunter. He was the type of person that had no qualms continuing to talk without letting people respond, so seeing Frannie go from joy about his job announcement to what appeared to be nerves or surprise in reaction to his invite made him chuckle but only because he found it adorable and endearing. 
However, the most interesting part of Frannie’s response was she took had been getting ready to ask him the same question. “Ask me to live here? As convenient as that sounds I’m ready to stop sharing a bedroom with my son, and little brother when he feels like spending the night with his ‘Mom’.” He grinned, in the back of his mind thinking about how this could be an opportunity to get into her bed… But the little voice of restraint in his mind, which oddly enough had the voice of the Smythe’s sister, told him to take it slow. 
“We can get a three bedroom over in the staff complex, they have some renovated town houses that would be perfect for the three of us so if you have exams or cases to study for I can keep Ollie occupied in a different part of the house.” Hunter explained, wandering over and picking up the discarded shirt and smiling, it was one of his that he’d often pull on first thing after waking up to bathe or change Ollie before he showered and got ready for the day himself. 
“So what do you say? Think you can live that far from Jolly Green and little Prescott?” Hunter give his best sensual persuasive smile, practically batting his eyelashes.
