“Generation Next”

Joe Madureira

Andy Kubert

[superluigiglitchy]

Just finished rewatching SMG4 What-if? and now im having feelings

aka Fuzzy Meggy au based on that fucked up Fuzzy Desti au @duckapus made where Mr. Grizz found Desti's body in the ocean and decided to do the trial runs for the fuzzy ooze which brought her back to life but fucked her up BIG TIME but like its Meggy instead (here)

(Long post ahead)

a few things before I start explaining away

Since Meggy's death each member of the gang have started wearing an article of orange in they're usually outfits (Saiko's twin tail ribbons are orange, Tari has an orange arm band on her hoodie, Mario has an orange Inkling patch stitched onto his overalls etc.) as a way to commemorate her

The three pieces of Meggy's head gear went to Luigi (beanie), Mario (headphones) and Tari (goggles) all three of them guard these pieces with they're lives

So many people blame themselves for Meggy's death that it can give someone chronic depression (read: me) but here's a few people of note

Axol: Despite the reassurances of the gang (including that of Desti's) Axol deeply blames himself for not knowing that Francis had made another Sephiroth and being able to erase it before it went and killed someone

Paige: Since their older sisters death they have double down on being the NSS's Captain and have worked harder than ever before much to the other agent's worry and concern, they have sever survivor's guilt an a guilt complex and as much as the other agents and cuttle fish try to help they either outright refuse or avoid them however that may change soon during the NSS's exploration of the ancient human settlement known as Altera

Tari: having lost her best friend and in the throws of grief she decided to learn to be stronger earlier than in canon with the help of Saiko surprisingly out of everyone she seems to have gotten a control over her grief, she still deeply wishes Meggy were still here with them but she knows that's not possible however she's been having strange dreams lately of her late friend but surely those are just that, dreams... Or are they?

Luigi: Since Meggy's death he has learned to not be as much of a scaredy cat and to pull his weight around in the team he still deeply misses her but he also acts as a rock for whenever the grief of the others gets too much for them, Especially for Mario however he like the others misses her greatly and often tries to 'think like Meggy' as he puts it when stuck in a pickle

Mario: Out of everyone he has the most grief over the lost of his best friend and sister, because of this it was like a switch was flipped and now he acts more subdued and not as chaotic (think of him as a mix between his memey self and pre-smg4 self) (which deeply disturbs everyone, even Peach surprisingly enough) however he is still the Avatar of the universe so he still gets dragged into insane adventures because of it only with a more subdued attitude and more responsible and smart (again deeply disturbs everyone) he often wonders that if he didn't instigate the anime challenge would none of this have happened? Luigi tries to assist him in processing the grief and guilt and help with his depression but it doesn't seem to be quite working

Desti: she is currently on the hunt for Sephiroths head and to get revenge so she has too much anger right now to process her guilt and grief which can rival even Mario's if not surpass it

Peach: since the fiasco of the anime arc Peach has become more thoughtful to others and careful in her decisions regarding Mario's antics and feels responsible for this mess having happened (she WAS the one responsible placing the ban in the first place) she acts much like her canon self here, everyone has mixed feelings over her however, Saiko especially who personally blames Peach for what she sees as causing the death of her friend Saiko hasn't really expressed this as not to aggravate the others but Peach sorta knows with how often Saiko shoots the Stink Eye at her

And that's about it now onto the au itself

During Splatoon 3's story mode (or at least this universe's version of it) the NSS find themselves stalked by a cat-like creature covered in scars and brown fur

(honestly they wouldn't really have noticed if not for Captain 3 halting everyone from moving pointing out that they were being watched by something and ironically enough the thing showed itself) shockingly though it began to smother Captain 3 with affection and purring like crazy much to Paige's annoyance and confusion and Callie and Marie's amusement

Callie: hehehe, it looks like it likes you captain

Paige being smothered with affection furiously by a purring cat creature: I am aware of that agent 1- HEY NO LICKING!!

Anyways now the NSS has this weird ass cat thing that's very clingy to their captain (the amount of black mail Andi has now is insane) and seems to have grown a liking to Andi as well ironically enough and ends up helping in the space battle quite a lot

Meanwhile as this is happening harbor and 8 end up helping Desti who was on the back ropes to defeat Sephiroth (much to her reluctance and stubbornness) and ends up taking her back to homebase cause 1. Cuttlefish were worried sick about her and 2. They ain't letting her disappear for several months again and it's here where they find out about the giant cat monster thing that the NSS have came to call Fuzzball instead of Subject 001 (which was the codename Mr. Grizz gave her) who takes an extreme liking to Desti MUCH to her confusion

Desti being cuddled to death by Fuzzball: what the fu-

Paige covered in orangey brown fur: you get used to it

Anyways something something the NSS and the smg4 crew have they're monthly meet up with a giant fuzzy cat thing in tow and because of E. Gadd shenanigans they find out that Fuzzball is actually Meggy *insert moment of disbelief and tear it filled moment here along with a bunch of reactions*

So anyways thanks to a combination of E. Gadd, the NSS, some help from Marina's memeverse and memery fuckery cause why tf not, they are able to find a cure for fuzzification for both the affected octarians and Meggy

But because of how long she's been trapped in Grizzco. and how long she's been experimented they weren't able to cure her all the way so now she's a cat bear squid human thing but that's just fine by the gang because they'll always love Meggy no matter what and BOY did they miss her

Andy Herrera x reader

4 times Andy and the crew had to rescue reader and the 5 time Andy ask them out

have an amazing day!

4 times andy had to save you, and 1 time she asked you out

1

You were an EMT, meaning you went out on many, many calls, which also came with risks.

So the first time you’d met Andy had been due to an injury, and the many times after that.

You’d just helped a patient onto a stretcher for your partner to take back to the rig, and were then talking with a firefighter, whose name you hadn’t caught when it had happened.

The car blew. Right in front of your face.

Well, not exactly.

You were a somewhat safe distance away, but you’d still gotten blown back hard, cracking your head off the pavement.

What had happened was blurry, but you did remember that Andy was the one that had picked you up and moved you towards a safer location as her crew put the fire out.

She’d stayed at the scene with you until your mind had cleared up, which was out of character for her, but she just wanted to make sure you were okay.

Your partner, Paige, had also stayed, but did have to head back because she was not granted with a few days off.

“You know, you really should be more careful.”

Those were the first words she’d ever said to you, and you couldn’t think of a better entrance.

“Oh, like I was supposed to know it was going to blow while I was near it,” You wince in pain, putting a hand on the spot.

“Andy Herrera,” She held her helmet under arm, and she looked hot.

“Y/n L/n,” You removed the hand from your head to shake her head.

“You good?” She asked sweetly.

You nod, to which she replies, “Words, sweetheart.”

“I’m great,” You stick a thumb out, internally trying not to scream.

“Okay,” Andy places her helmet back on. “I’d say I hope not to see you again, but I have a feeling that won’t be the case.”

You yell after her, “What’s that supposed to mean?”, but she just chuckles and keeps walking.

2

The second time was because the ‘first responder’ line was bullshit.

You and Paige had been waiting for five minutes for a fire truck to get to the location, but not a single one was heard.

The mother of the two floor house had made it out of the house, coughing up a lung.

Her face was covered in dirt from the smoke, and she was crying.

You being the person you were, you couldn’t just stand there and let her children die inside, so you ran in.

Paige was yelling at you the whole time, but didn’t follow in with you.

You tried not breathing, but that proved to be very difficult.

You brought the little boy out of the house, and we’re heading back upstairs for the little girl, when you passed out on the landing above the steps.

You’d then woken up in the back of an ambulance, with almost the same sight as last time.

Except, this time she was standing with a fellow firefighter, and there was an oxygen mask on your face.

She was blonde, and just as gorgeous as Andy was. Really, what do they feed them at the station?

“Oh, she’s awake,” Andy lightly hits the girl on the side. “Listen, we’ve really gotta stop meeting like this.”

You open your mouth to say something smart back, but then you start coughing repeatedly.

“You should keep the mask on, it’ll help you breathe,” The blonde nods.

“This is Maya,” Andy says, watching over you the same way she had the first time you’d met. “Hey, what you did back there..”

“Was heroic?” You ask, putting the mask right back on when you get a look from Andy.

“I was going to say stupid,” Andy crossed her arms.

“I’m gonna.. yeah,” Maya steps away and back towards the other firefighters.

“I was doing the job you couldn’t,” You shrugged.

“I’ll admit, it was heroic,” Andy hopped into the ambulance to sit with you. “But stupid. You could’ve died.”

“Stop thinking about what could’ve happened in the past. I’m here now, and I’m alive,” You take a breath in with the mask.

“Yeah, for now. I don’t want to even think about what you get yourself into next time.”

“Then don’t,” You shrug. “Live in the now.”

Andy squints and smiles at you, hoping out of the ambulance to head back, “Until next time.”

You nod, and then she’s gone.

3

This time it was simple, really.

You’d happened to be inside Joe’s when the car had run right into the wall.

You weren’t injured, but you definitely were in a mild state of shock. There was some bleeding, but it wasn’t anything you and Ben couldn’t take care of.

You were nervous because there was no way out, and the small bar was a bit crowded.

Andy had personally asked for you once she found out you were inside.

“I just had a feeling,” Andy said from the other side of the wall.

You were up on a chair, speaking to her through a small part of the wall that was broken due to the car smashing into it.

You could see a portion of her face, but that was it.

“Is it bad?” Andy asked.

“There’s only two of them that needs to be immediately checked out,” You let out a breath. “They’ll be okay for now.”

“Okay, good,” Andy nodded.

She hears you let out an anxious sigh, and feels sympathy for you. She also wonders why you were there in the first place. Were you on a date?

Andy pushes the jealousy to the back of her head, and focuses on the now, just like you told her to.

“It’s gonna be okay, Y/n,” Andy assures you. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I think so,” You swallow. “I was on the other side of the bar when it happened.”

“That’s good,” Andy pauses, “I need to move now, so they can remove the car from the wall. I’ll see you on the other side, okay?”

“Yeah.”

Shes then the first to approach you when everyone was rescued out.

She tries to encourage you to go get checked out at the hospital, to which you assure her you were nowhere near the car when it happened, and that there are more important injuries to attend.

Andy does make you sit for a second so she can do a concussion exam, but it was fine but you, because she looked adorable when she focused.

“You’re clear,” Andy stands back.

“I told you I would be,” You tilt your head, grabbing your bag and coat.

You just chuckles and shakes her head, “I don’t want to see you for another month.”

“Yeah, yeah,” You wave her off and make your way to Grey Sloan to help where you can.

4

Your town had a yearly bonfire to start the new year, and you’d always attended.

Not because you liked to be social. Okay, that was part of it. But also because you were watching to make sure the teenagers didn’t pull anything, and so you can assess injuries if it gets to that point.

And never in the years you’ve lived in the town had the fire department been called. But this year they were.

“What’s going on?” You approach Andy before she even hops out of the truck.

“We got a call about a fire,” Andy points behind you.

“Yeah, I know,” You move an inch closer. “But this is a friendly and safe environment.”

At least it was until the fire started snap, crackling, and popping.

“Those damn kids,” You grunt out.

“At least someone called the department before it got out of hand,” Andy pats your arm.

“Whatever,” You roll your eyes.

“Don’t roll your eyes at me,” Andy’s eyes trail from yours down to your lips. “What are you doing here, anyway? You don’t seem like the type to be at big events.”

“Don’t you have a job to do?” You lean against the side of the truck, ignoring your pounding heart.

“I have a crew for a reason,” She shrugs. “Now answer me.”

“It’s a town thing,” You look down. “You know, I do like to be social. Just not in a small room.”

“Claustrophobic?”

“Just a little,” You shake your head, looking to see the fire was already contained and put out.

You hear boos and look away before it gets out of hand.

“Hey, I thought I said I didn’t want to see you for a month.”

“Fate just brought us together,” You hold a hand to your chest, only being half sarcastic, because the two of you did have a way of coming back to each other.

“Hm,” She gives a half smile.

“I’d better go,” You point across the street to your house. “I have to work tomorrow.”

“No problem,” Andy pushes off the truck. “Let me walk you.”

“Okay.”

You walk in silence until you reach the door.

Andy and you share a moment. You couldn’t even explain what had happened. You looked into each others eyes.

Nobody moved closer or made an attempt to walk away until one of the men from the crew shouted, “Let’s go, Herrera!”

At which she chuckled and walked without saying bye.

5

Today, it had nothing to do with you putting yourself in danger—more like a drunk driver.

A big truck had run right into the right front side of the rig and had flipped the whole thing.

When Andy arrived on the scene, she first started at the driver side window, and when she saw you she just laughed a bit.

She tried prying your door open, but you told her to start on your partner first, who had been unconscious since the truck had hit you.

“I’m not going anywhere,” You’d told her, but you were scared for your life.

And your leg, which was wedged in something. It hurt really, really bad. A broken leg is nothing compared to death, which is what your partner was facing right now.

“I have firefighters on that,” Andy studied you with a closed off expression.

Your nose was also bleeding. Along with a few scrapes along the side of your face, probably from glass shattering and flying.

Other than that, you were fine.

“My friend Victoria is checking on your patient in the back. I’ve got Jack and Travis on your partner there,” You shakily look to the side to see the two men prying off the door and taking vitals. “Now, please let me help you.”

“O— okay,” The shock was starting to set in, and Andy could tell.

“Hey, talk to me,” Andy says as she continues to open the door. “Tell me, why do we keep meeting like this?”

You let out a breathy laugh, “I think you like me.”

“Oh yeah?” Andy chuckles as she pries the door open and sees your leg. “Interesting theory. And what about you?”

“I g— guess you look hot in your uniform,” You swallow nervously.

“Well thank you,” Andy calls over Maya, and the two of them try to get your leg out. “So do you.”

“We’re gonna try getting your leg free, okay?” Maya says.

“Please do,” You chuckle slightly.

You were worried they might have to amputate it, but they didn’t. It was wedged between the front of the car and the floor.

It did require medical attention though, because it was broken.

“Thank you for staying with me,” You smile up at Andy after your surgery.

“No problem,” She shrugs it off.

Andy sits down before there’s any time for the two of you to share another moment. She loved the moment but she wanted to ask you out and she was going to do just that.

“How are you doing?” Andy asks nervously.

“I’m okay. It hurts, but I’ll stick it out.”

“When will you be back on your feet?” Andy leans forward.

“Well, I’ll be on crutches for a while. But I’ll be able to move around in about a week. So, more time off for me,” You say sarcastically.

“Good,” Andy stands back up, getting ready to leave. “That’ll give me enough time to plan our first date.”

“I thought you’d never ask,” You smile wide.

“I didn’t really ask, it’s more of a demand.”

“Oh, yeah, definitely,” You shake your head, the smile still on her face even after she’s gone.

You should never be ashamed - Trent Alexander Arnold

request: can it be with Jude or Trent where they were in public and someone makes fun of her Eritrean accent and how sometimes she struggles to speak English so from that on she stopped talking only responding with one or two words and they comfort her. if u can thank you ( @idreamtoliveinfantsy) thank you for you request ❤ summary: trent gives you the confidence you need when people make rude comments about you. pairing: trent alexander-arnold x reader; bestfriend! jude bellingham x reader warnings: none words count: 1.2

Two years ago you had moved to England because your boss had asked you to work here and gave you a better promotion, something you had dreamed of. On the other hand, you had met Trent during a night out with your friends and from that moment on you clicked amazingly.

It all started with an outing as "friends", you agreed to start getting to know each other - like hobbies, dislikes, favourite food, favourite places in your countries, etc. - However, for both of them, it was inevitable not to develop feelings beyond friendship. Soon a few months later you started dating and you were happy for what you had with him.

What you had was special, he made you feel comfortable wherever you went and whoever you were with. You loved the fact that he knew you so well that he knew when you weren't in the mood, when something made you sad, he made you happy. You complemented each other so well.

In the time you had been living in England, it had been long enough to get used to this new place, however, if one thing is true, being a foreigner is sometimes difficult and dealing with people who are not the best at doing it with others. Although you consider yourself a confident person, without fear of anything, in reality there was something that made you feel insecure, your accent. Even though you were almost 100% fluent in English, that accent when pronouncing words or phrases was still there and it wasn't like it was going to disappear overnight and you were proud to keep it.

However, one night when you and Trent had gone out with some friends to spend some time - it was really a quiet night out, just going to a restaurant for dinner.

You were sitting in the middle of your boyfriend and Jude; next to him was a girl he was seeing, and across from you was Andy with his girlfriend. During dinner, words were exchanged between everyone, however, Jude's friend was barely speaking to you and to a certain point she was giving you dirty looks.

"Baby, are you okay?" Trent leaned close to your ear and asked you as he noticed how you stirred uncomfortably.

"Yeah, I'm fine" you smiled at him, as he placed a hand on your thigh.

The night was going well, until she spoke.

"You're not from here, aren't you?" Jude's friend asked you.

"Yes, I'm not " you replied uncomfortably.

"And you don't feel embarrassed? I mean, I'd be if I sounded that weird and funny..." she said, looking at you with displeasure.

Everyone at the table was speechless until Trent spoke up.

"I don't think it's any of your business, if it's none of my girlfriend's business, it's none of mine, you shouldn't care either.

I think it's disrespectful to her, I guess you're just being ignorant and I can see the kind of person you are. You are disgusting" Trent spoke harshly and you just grabbed his arm. The last thing you wanted to happen was he gets in troubles.

Jude didn't keep quiet either.

"Paige, I'm going to ask you to leave. Like Trent said it was disrespectful to y/n; she's like my sister and I can't stand this behavior, even more when you and I are just barely getting to know each other. I don't know what I was thinking when I brought you here, I don't know how I didn't notice it before either.

Paige -now you knew her name - just kept quiet and looked concerned. She just grabbed her bag and left the restaurant.

When she left, everyone was quiet and it was a bit awkward. Trent like the great boyfriend he’s, decided to stop dinner and take you home, this had been too much.

The drive home was silent; Jude had gone back with you. You could clearly feel the tension in the car.

"hey, y/n... sorry about what happened at dinner. I don't even know why I took her to dinner" Jude spoke.

"yeah, never mind" was all you replied.

When you got to Jude's flat, he got out of the car and said goodbye to both of you, and you just nodded your head in agreement.

There was only you and Trent left in the car, and he knew something was wrong.

"Baby, are you okay? Don't lie to me please" Trent spoke to you as he took your hand.

You didn't even know what to say, in your mind you knew that what had happened was something silly.

When he saw that you didn't answer, he spoke to you again.

"Baby, please. Talk to me”

"It's no big deal, it's just what happened today...it made me feel bad, uncomfortable, but it was silly."

"Baby, that wasn't something silly. It's okay to feel that way because what that girl did was wrong.

You should never be ashamed of that because it's what makes you who you are, there's nothing wrong with that. Please don't ever feel that way, that girl is the one who is wrong."

 "Thank you Trent, I love you."

Arriving home, you headed to your room as Trent secured the door and turned off the lights in the living room.

Once you were both in bed, you grabbed your cell to see messages from Jude.

Jude ❤

Hey y/n, I'm so sorry about what happened today.

And like I said, it was dumb of me to take her, the last thing I want is for you to get hurt. You know Trent is my best friend and you're like my sister.

I'm sorry, and I swear to take care of you as much as I can and especially from comments that might make you feel bad.

I love you

You adored Jude, you were like siblings as you had a very good relationship.

"Jude sent me a text apologizing" You said to Trent as you showed him the conversation.

"He can be very annoying at times, but if I'm sure he wouldn't do anything to hurt you."

" Just like you. thank you for everything you've done for me these past few months, you make me feel at home.

Really, you've made me so happy."

"This is what a relationship is all about baby, we're both here to support each other and take care of each other always, and I've told you many times but don't ever forget, never be ashamed of who you are because that's what makes you special, that's what makes me love you, that's what makes you have what you have. You deserve so much.

You lean in close to him and grab him by the neck to kiss him.

"I love you, I love you so much" you say against his lips and through tears.

"I know that, but I wouldn't mind if you showed it to me in a different way" He says teasingly as he lays you on the mattress kessing you and doing other things during the night that help to show the love you have for each other.

House of Stone Masterlist

Main Masterlist

Andy places his glasses on his nose, blinking a few times to relieve the strain in his eyes as they try to focus on the evidence in front of him. 

Initially, there was an arrangement between the two of you to split the cost of a Family & Custody lawyer. Andy tried his best to use all the resources available to him to find the best one, but Troy’s parents’ lawyer had other plans. 

Every lawyer he had called and presented your case to had declined on the basis that they had already met with Troy’s parents. 

Andy grew irate, throwing in the towel and realizing if he wants something done, he’d have to do it himself. 

Still, you offered to pay. 

“I don’t want your money, Teddy.” 

“But, Andy, I couldn’t possibly–that’s so much work on top of what you already do as a professor, please–”

“Absolutely not,” he shook his head, placing his hand on top of yours. “Nobody would be a better lawyer for this than me. Let me take care of it.” 

So, here he was on a Saturday night, running on three hours of sleep and organizing documents showing your clock hours at work, payments to your aunt’s daycare, and your transcripts at the university instead of grading papers. 

Andy had called your aunt and cousin to testify on your behalf. With them, there was a solid case for you to keep Ivy. Still, you worried nonetheless. If he was honest, he was nervous too. He knew any level of custody granted to Troy’s parents would be a break in the dam; the water would surely engulf you and sweep Ivy away.

Still, he would do his damn best to make sure you wouldn’t lose her.

- - - - - 

“Calling the case of Abernathy vs. Y/L/N for the custody of Ivy Paige Abernathy to order.”

The judge taps her gavel twice and a hush falls over the courtroom. 

You exhale shakily, fingers folded on top of the table while your hands tremble. Another hand covers yours, squeezing tightly. Looking to your left, Andy gives you a reassuring smile.

Deep breaths, he mouths. 

You nod, drawing in air through your nose and breathing out through your mouth. Craning your neck, you spy Ivy sitting quietly with your aunt and Winnie.

Seeing her now, she’s so big, grown so much since she was born. You remember looking into her face during endless nights, sobbing as she slept. Resigning yourself to being a single mother wasn’t easy and some days it’s still hard to get out of bed. Everything you do is for her; you recall so many moments when you were happy to be in her company. 

“It’s you and me, Ivy,” you’d say to her. “I will never leave you.” 

Your lip trembles at the thought that any of the coming nights could be the last one you spend with her. 

“Mr. Siegel,” the judge addresses their lawyer, “You may stand and make the opening statement for the plaintiff.”

Slowing down your breaths, you try to keep yourself composed as the lawyer representing Troy’s parents stands.

“Your honor, Benjamin and Constance Abernathy tragically lost their only child, Troy, nearly two years ago. While they have many dear memories of him, they have been wrongly barred from seeing their only grandchild; the child that Troy fathered. Today, they’re here, fighting for rights they shouldn’t need to fight for because the defendant continues to act selfishly to keep her daughter to herself.”

Your hands unfold, closing into tight fights as your muscles begin to tighten. Next to you, Andy tenses as well, inhaling sharply.

Looking around, you see the judge nodding intently. Her eyes flicker toward you every once in a while and you don’t like the impression you’re passively making on her built on lies being eloquently spewed out by a lawyer. 

The stenographer types quickly, putting every accusation on the record. Your heart sinks; you don’t feel confident in your chances. 

“This trial shouldn’t even need to happen. As grandparents–Ivy’s last connection to her father– they are entitled to at least partial custody for Ivy.” 

He sits down, and Troy’s parents appear to cry. 

There’s a bitter taste in your mouth as you look at them. You considered them an extension of your family once; they welcomed you with open arms, fed you, kept you safe, and gave generously. 

Now, they were trying to take away your entire world. Perhaps it was some strange form of retribution. You suspect they believe that if Troy hadn’t been with you the night he died, maybe he would still be here today. 

The judge turns to you and Andy. “Mr. Barber, please stand and make the opening statement for the defendant.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Andy nods, standing. He smooths down his jacket and looks at you once more before facing the judge. 

“Ma’am, Miss Y/L/N is a single mother pursuing a law degree to give her daughter a better life. Her world revolves around Ivy. When she and Mr. Troy Abernathy first discovered she was pregnant, they were immediately cut off from support systems with the exception of one relative, who continues to care for Ivy to this day. That relative is looking after Ivy presently. 

“If Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy wanted to care for Ivy, they would have been providing care for her without the need for a lawsuit based on no foundations. Their attorney claims they have been ‘wrongfully barred,’ from seeing their granddaughter. However, he failed to mention that they attempted to forcibly take Ivy away a week after she was born when my client was in an extremely vulnerable position. She was still recovering from giving birth and mourning the man she loved.” 

Andy swallows, pressing down the hurt that rises in his chest at the idea that you loved someone before you met him, and if he hadn’t died, you most likely would’ve still been with him. 

Clearing his throat, he continues, “The plaintiff calls my client selfish. I can assure you that the evidence we have and testimonies of witnesses can prove that she is not. She is a single mother doing everything she can to make sure her daughter does not know a day of pain.”

He sits back down and looks at you. Your eyes are watery and you throw him a half-hearted smile, something to show your gratitude. He can see past the smile, sensing your nerves fraying as you listen to the judge tell the Abernathys they can move forward with testimonies. 

Constance goes to the stand first. You remember her being so warm and gentle; nothing like the stoic face she wears as she approaches the stand, placing her hand on the Bible and swearing to tell the truth. 

She sits and Siegel stands to question her. 

“Mrs. Abernathy, would you please explain your relationship to Miss Y/L/N?”

She sighs shortly. “She was like my daughter. We adored her; it was easy to. She made my son happy and she got along with me and my husband very well.”

“How did your relationship change?”

Another sigh, a longer one this time. “When it was found out she was pregnant, she made him cut all contact with us.”

Your fists clench in your lap. So much for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, you think to yourself. 

You recall Andy advising you to control your emotions as much as possible. The ability to keep a neutral face diminishes with every word Constance says. 

She sniffles as she finishes, manufactured tears slipping down her cheeks as her lawyer tells her she can step down. 

Benjamin goes next, spewing more lies to bury you deep in a trench you may never hope to get out of. Your heart nearly stops when your name is called to come to the stand. 

Legs shaking, you rise from your chair and nearly forget how to walk. Every step is a conscious effort as you do your best to move forward and ignore the looks being thrown your way. 

The bailiff holds up a Bible and instructs you to raise your right hand. 

“Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you, God?” 

Your mouth opens, but words struggle to come out. Paralyzed by your nerves, you know hesitation does not help your case at all. 

“I-I do,” you manage, then clear your throat. “I do solemnly swear.”

“You may take a seat.” 

The walled-in seat of the stand looks claustrophobic. Your movements are clumsy as you step in and lower yourself into the chair. On this side of the courtroom, next to the judge and so far away from Andy, you feel vulnerable; a sitting duck to be struck down at any moment. Locking eyes with Andy, he motions for you to breathe. Drawing air into your chest, you blink away tears.

“How are you today, Miss Y/L/N?”

“Objection,” Andy speaks. “Relevance?”

“Believe it or not, Mr. Barber, you are not the only one who cares about your client’s well-being.”

“I’ll allow it,” the judge speaks. “It’s a simple question, dear. Nothing to be afraid of.”

You nod. “I’m good–”

“Please speak up, miss, the stenographer needs to hear you.”

“I’m good,” you repeat, voice cracking. 

“Good,” Mr. Siegel smiles, though you can see the venom in his eyes. “Tell me, what does a typical day look like for both you and Ivy.”

Easy question, you can answer it, you tell yourself. 

“Well, I wake up at 6:30 to get ready for work, then Ivy wakes up around 7:00. I give her breakfast, usually yogurt or oatmeal. I drop her off at Rising Sun Day Care at around 8:15, 8:30 and go to work afterward. Work ends around 5, I pick up Ivy from daycare; if I have a class that evening, I pick up Winnie too because she volunteers there after school and I make dinner for all three of us. Class starts at 7:15 so I leave around 6:30 to drive to BU and come back around 10:00. Winnie then calls her mom and she comes and picks her up.” 

“I see. And what kind of experience does a sixteen-year-old like Winnie have to watch a one-year-old?”

“Objection, speculation,” Andy grunts.

“Sustained.”

“Let me rephrase the question,” Mr. Siegel appeases, “What made you trust a sixteen-year-old to have the common sense to watch a one-year-old for three hours in an evening?”

“I’ve known Winnie her whole life,” you begin. “She’s always been responsible and…nurturing.” You look around to try and find the right words to defend your decision. “Her mother is a certified child caregiver and preschool director, so Winnie’s been taught how to care for young children her whole life.” 

“And when did you make the decision to abandon your child in the evening to pursue a career?”

Your heart drops; what kind of question is that?

“Objection, leading.” Andy sounds angry.

“Sustained.”

“I’ll rephrase. Why pursue your career now? Why not wait until Ivy is a little bit older to pursue your degree?”

You breathe in. “We’re not…I’m not…I wasn’t in a position where I could really stand on my own and take care of her. Troy was working nonstop when I was pregnant with her and we had some savings but I had to use them for supplies and essentials. I knew I had to work to make sure I could provide for her. And I knew that being a receptionist wasn’t sustainable as a career and I just thought it would be easier to do this now so that later I wouldn’t have to leave her.”

“Plaintiff’s exhibit A,” Mr. Siegel says, grabbing a piece of paper and showing it to the judge. “Could you read this please, Miss Y/L/N?”

Taking the sheet from him, you recite a passage from a scientific study on child psychology. You know what this is; it states that children who do not receive the proper amount of affection and comfort from parents are more likely to develop a plethora of developmental and emotional disorders.

You also understand what it implies about your parenting.

“Did you consider that when you were making arrangements for Winnie to babysit for Ivy as you leave her in the evenings?”

“Objection, your honor. My client can’t see into the future.”

“But she can synthesize information from a watershed scientific study and make decisions based on the study.”

“I’ll allow it.” 

You purse your lips, understanding you have to answer the question. “I don’t like leaving her in the evenings. I made that decision to establish a career for myself so that I can provide for her later in life and not have to miss out on spending time with her when she gets older.” 

“And what is Ivy’s disposition when it comes to new people?”

“She loves people,” you say, “She’s very social.”

“Could it be that she’s seeking out the attention that she’s lacking from you?”

Andy shouts this time, “Objection!”

“Withdrawn.” 

Your lip quivers and your vision blurs, tears streaming down your face. 

“Miss, you may exit the stand.” 

You tremble the entire way back to your seat, eyes cast down as the judge announces the court is adjourned for the day. 

Andy ushers you out of the room and your aunt sweeps you into her arms as you all gather in the corridor of the courthouse.

“Oh, my dear,” she coos, “I’m so sorry it started out this way.” 

You can’t muster the words to express your despair and anxiety, only sobbing into the shoulder of her blazer.

“Let’s get some food,” Winnie suggests quietly, passing a hand over your hair and propping Ivy up on her hip. 

“Momma,” Ivy whines, reaching for you. 

Your stomach grumbles loudly as you take her and your aunt teases you while reminding you it’s important to take care of yourself during this time. 

Nodding, you wipe your tears and take a deep breath, pressing a kiss to Ivy’s cheek to help ground you.

“Andy,” your aunt calls to him. He looks up from his phone. “Would you like to join us?”

“I’d love to but,” he sighs, “I can’t. It’s my son, I have to pick him up.” 

“Okay, well, we’ll see you next time.” 

“Yeah,” he nods. His eyes lock with you and he pulls you and Ivy in for a hug. “It’ll be okay.” 

You don’t react beyond an exhale; no nod, no headshake, nothing to indicate your hope. His heart sinks, but he releases you, wishing he could be in two places at once. 

Before he can fully part from you, he feels a tug on his neck. Looking down, his tie is fisted in Ivy’s little hand. When his eyes meet hers, he sees the worry on her face. 

“Deedee,” she mumbles sadly. 

She pulls again, urging him closer, and presses her face into his cheek, a small comforting kiss. 

“Aww, thank you, baby bear,” he coos quietly. Then, he looks at you. “I’ll see you guys soon, okay?”

He can see you steeling your face, trying to mask your emotions behind a look of false bravery. Sighing, he says a final goodbye and wishes he could be in two places at once. 

- - -

“Jacob,” Andy calls as he rolls down the window of his car, “the hell are you doing out here?”

“I just wanted to spend time with you,” he shrugs. 

Sighing, Andy reaches over and opens the passenger door. “Get in, I’ll park in the garage and we’ll go in together.” 

They’re silent on their way to the apartment, but once inside, Andy interrogates him again. “You called me a bunch of times and I saw your texts, but why didn’t you just wait? I would’ve picked you up from your mom’s.”

Jacob looks guilty as his eyes drift to the floor. “I just…couldn’t wait.”

Sensing there’s something more that his son doesn’t want to talk about yet, Andy decides to drop the subject. “Well, next time, just try to wait until I can pick you up. I don’t know what I would’ve done if you had gotten hurt.” 

Nodding, Jacob looks at his father before rushing him, wrapping his arms around his waist and leaning on his shoulder. 

Andy is taken aback, not accustomed to the show of affection from his son. He hasn’t seen him often in the past two years and it almost feels new. With an exhale, he hugs him too, patting his head. 

“What do you want for dinner?”

- - - - -

Since the first day in court, Jacob had been coming every weekend, sometimes more than a weekend. It led to more interactions between Andy and Laurie, figuring out driving arrangements so that not all of the transportation was her responsibility. 

“Morning, Dad,” Jacob smiles, coming into the kitchen.

“Morning, kid,” he replies, pointing to the plate set up for him on the dining table. 

“Did you make pancakes?”

“And bacon and eggs; and you’re gonna finish your plate. You need a…”

“Balanced breakfast,” Jacob finishes for his father. “I know.” 

They sit at one end of the table and Jacob dishes on his experiences at school. 

“...and finals suck.”

“If it’s any consolation,” Andy smirks, piercing a piece of pancake on his fork, “Your teachers hate finals too.”

“What do you mean?”

“You think we like grading?”

Jacob shrugs, a silent answer of, You have a point. As he chews on a slice of bacon, he looks toward the documents littering the other side of the table. “Are those all the papers you have to grade?”

“Oh, no,” Andy shakes his head. “That’s…uh. Well, I took a case.”

“What?” his son asks incredulously. “Are you serious? I thought you were done with that.”

“Thought I was too, but it was a special circumstance.”

“What do you mean?”

Andy pauses, trying to figure out how much he can share without being indiscreet. “One of my students is a single mom of a one-year-old. Her boyfriend died before their daughter was born, and now his parents are trying to claim custody of the girl.”

“Like…like full custody?” Jacob prods. “They wanna take her away?”

“Mhmm.”

“Why?” 

“That’s what I’m trying to figure out,” Andy shakes his head. “But sometimes people don’t have good reasons for their actions, you know?”

He sees his son deflate a little. “That’s awful. She must be really upset.”

Swallowing, Andy feels his heart squeeze at the memory of your devastated face as you cried and told him what was happening. 

“She is. That’s why I’m helping her.”

Jacob nods and bites off another serving of bacon, looking thoughtful as he chews. “Can I help?”

“What have I told you about talking with your mouth–”

He swallows quickly and washes his food down with a drink of juice before repeating the question, “Can I help? You know, help you look through the documents and stuff? I promise I won’t tell anyone.” 

Andy’s surprised. He’s not sure where this eagerness to help comes from. He’s more familiar with the practice of side-by-side working with his son; he recalls nights when he would stay up reviewing evidence while his son constructed projects on the floor. 

Working with his son was new. But not a bad kind of new. 

He smiles. “I think that’d be great.” 

- - -

The day flies by as the Barber boys fry their brains looking at page after page and writing notes based on the information they’ve gathered. They’ve moved from the dining table to the floor, papers spread out everywhere in some sort of organized chaos. Fueled by greasy pizza and garlic bread, they realize while Ivy’s grandparents don’t have much of a leg to stand on for claiming full custody, there’s not much that can stop the judge from granting them partial custody. 

They have no criminal history, no financial troubles, and live in a good neighborhood. 

“Hey dad,” Jacob says with his mouth full again. 

Andy ignores it, swallowing a bite of pizza and burping a little. “What is it?”

“You’re getting a call. ‘Daria Ahmandi.’”

Furrowing his brows, he takes the phone and answers the call, “Daria.”

“Hi, Andy, sorry to call you on a weekend but earlier this week, I finally got your message about the custody battle for…Abernathy. Ivy Abernathy?”

“Oh,” Andy sighs, “Right. I’m sorry to have bothered you, I ended up taking the case–”

“That’s perfect, then,” she says.

“What do you mean?”

“The name of the girl caught my attention, and then in your message, you mentioned Troy Abernathy, and I remembered I wrote his will.”

The world stands still for a moment as Andy processes what she’s saying. He reaches for Jacob, hearing an audible smack.

“Ow! Dad, what the–”

Looking at his son as he holds his nose, Andy realizes he accidentally hit him in the face.

“Sorry, kiddo, but write this down. Quickly!”

He watches his son scramble to grab his pencil and a notepad before nodding. Removing the phone from his ear, he puts the call on speaker so that Jacob can take notes. 

“Daria, you wrote his will?”

“Yes.” 

“Jacob, was there a will in any of these documents?”

“Um…” Jacob begins to look around. 

“Andy, you won’t find the will there because it was never fulfilled.”

“What do you mean?”

“I reached out to his parents after his death to discuss the execution of his will because they were named caretakers of his assets but they never replied.” 

“Who was supposed to receive his assets?” It’s a bit of a dumb question; Andy can probably guess.

“Ivy Paige Abernathy and Y/N Y/L/N, his girlfriend at the time–I think he was planning to propose to her. And she’s Ivy’s mother, I understand.”

“Yes, yes, she is,” Andy says, locking eyes with his son and smiling.

Checkmate. 

- - - - -

“Defense calls Benjamin Abernathy to the stand.” 

Your head whips toward Andy to look at him. 

What the hell is he doing?

Shrugging, Benjamin approaches the stand and sits down, crossing his legs and foldings his hands as he waits for Andy to question him.

“Mr. Abernathy, do you know the name of Ivy’s pediatrician?”

“Objection, your honor. Relevance.” 

For a moment, you almost agree with Mr. Siegel. You don’t know where Andy is going with this line of questioning.

“Your honor, this kind of question speaks to whether the Abernathys are capable of caring for Ivy. Mr. Abernathy should have no problem answering basic questions about his granddaughter.”

“Objection overruled. Answer the question, Mr. Abernathy.”

His eyes drift to the side for a moment before shaking his head. “Um, not off the top of my head, no.”

“Her name is Dr. Barra. Do you know if she has any allergies?”

“Troy never had any allergies, so I assume not.” 

You huff quietly to yourself, knowing that doesn’t make any sense.

“She’s allergic to penicillin and peaches. Do you know what her favorite stuffed animal is?” 

“Surely it’s the little elephant Constance and I gave her the week after she was born.”

“If you had been paying attention and looked at her the entire time you were on the stand, you would see that it’s the stuffed monkey her father gifted her before his passing.” 

You look back at the seating area, finding Ivy in your aunt’s lap playing with the toy in question. 

“It is clear, Mr. Abernathy, that you know nothing about this child. So why are you so adamant you know what’s best for her?”

“Well, we would know these things if Y/N had let us take on more of a role with Ivy.”

He looks right at you as he makes the jab. You swallow, doing your best to keep your trust in Andy about this. 

“Why wait until now? If this was about being there for Ivy, why not support Miss Y/L/N during her pregnancy?”

Benjamin makes a show of looking down as if he was taking a moment to mourn his son. Andy bites the inside of his cheek. If he could, he would’ve told him to drop the act. 

“Objection, your honor. We’ve made it clear that Miss Y/L/N cut contact between herself and Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy.”

The judge thinks for a moment. “Overruled. Answer the question, Mr. Abernathy.”

Benjamin sighs. “We were in mourning, we needed time to process everything.” 

“I understand,” Andy nods. He hears a scoff from behind him, probably Constance. “No, I do,” he turns back. “But you and your wife mourn your son by leaving his fiancée alone with no resources?”

“We weren’t in any shape to take care of anyone, let alone a pregnant woman.” 

Andy’s stoic face drops for a moment, satisfaction settling over him knowing he got him right where he wants him. 

“You say you were in no condition to take care of another person, much less the mother of your grandchild,” Andy begins, walking back to the Defendant's table and swiping up two folders.

“Yes, that’s correct.”

Andy hands one folder to the judge and the other to Benjamin. 

“Defense’s exhibits F, G, H, I, and J; the last will of Mr. Troy Benjamin Abernathy; a letter from his lawyer, Mrs. Daria Amandhi, to Mr. Benjamin Abernathy and Mrs. Constance Abernathy in pursuit of executing said will; mortgage payments for the estate of Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy; a receipt of first-class airline tickets to the French Riviera; and the receipt and licensure for a new boat currently docked at Cape Cod.”

At the words “last will,” you sit up on alert. Troy had a will? He never told you. 

“You say you were ‘in mourning,’ yet you and Mrs. Abernathy were able to handle your son’s estate, including draining his bank accounts and liquifying his assets.”

“Those things needed to be done, they weren’t easy.”

“No, but it was easy to leave a pregnant woman nearly destitute?”

“She had no claim to our son’s assets.” 

“Oh, she didn’t? Please, read aloud from the paper labeled Exhibit F on the top left corner.” 

Putting on his glasses, Benjamin flicks through the papers before finding the one he needs. 

“‘I, Troy Benjamin Abernathy, being of full age and of sound mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this to be my last Will and Testament. All the rest of my assets, both liquid and otherwise, I leave to my unborn child in the care of Y/N Y/L/N.’”

You cover your mouth to try and hide your shock. Tears prick the back of your eyes. Your heart wants to leap because Troy thought to do this, but this betrayal is just another added to the pile, weighing you down as you sink into anger. 

“Let the record state that the unborn child mentioned is Ivy Paige Abernathy,” Andy addresses the stenographer before turning back to Benjamin. “Did you know this document existed?”

“This is clearly falsified.”

“I can assure you, Mr. Abernathy, that it is not. In fact, he sought out a lawyer two weeks after the doctor’s appointment confirming the pregnancy. You can see the date written at the top of the document, showing that it was filed four months before he passed away.”

Benjamin looks over the document, color draining from his face.

“It quite clearly lists my client as the recipient of your son’s life insurance, bank account, and assets. Additionally, it states a trust should be set up for his unborn child. Has this trust been established, Mr. Abernathy?”

“We-we used the money to pay for his funeral…”

“Really?” Andy feigns shock. “Did the funeral also include paying off the mortgage on your house, a brand new boat, and a trip to France–those expenses equaling the total value of your son’s estate?”

Benjamin flounders as he formulates his response, “We-we didn’t know about the existence of this document.”

“Even if that were true, sir, which I know is not as you can clearly see in Defense’s Exhibit G, your son’s attorney attempted to contact you in the days after his death. If you really truly cared about your grandchild, why would you not take her father’s money and establish a bank account in her name to set her up for the future?”

You want to scream at both him and Constance. How could they do this to you?!

Benjamin’s face begins to flush, stammering out his response, “I don’t see why I’m being attacked for this. Y/N’s parents didn’t help her either!”

Seeing red, you nearly explode but Andy comes to your defense.

“Her parents chose not to be involved and have been consistent in that choice. Unlike you and your wife. And by denying my client access to the assets that were legally hers, you forced her to work days and attend school at night to make a better life for Ivy. You were trying to exacerbate the situation in your favor, weren’t you?”

“No!” he bursts, “Going back to school was her choice.”

“Correct. But let me reiterate: it was a choice she had to make because you denied her access to assets that were hers. By being forced to work during the day, you took her away from Ivy without even being in the room. So the conditions that you have presented that you claim make her an unfit mother are conditions you created based on your decisions to withhold money that was hers. 

“Instead of doing what your son trusted you to do, you didn’t. Therefore, it can be assumed that you don’t care about Ivy. You and your wife have burned through the last of your son’s money and are now trying to take the last thing he left behind: his daughter.”

“That’s a lie!”

“I don’t blame you, sir. You want to hold on to what’s left of your boy. But you have no rights here. In fact, you’re looking at a lot more legal trouble in your future.” 

“Ob-Objection, your honor–!”

“Withdrawn. I’m done,” Andy interrupts, quickly glancing at the lawyer before looking at the judge. “Your honor, I move to have the case dismissed based on a lack of foundation of evidence that my client is an unfit mother for Ivy.”

“Your honor, I–”

“I think I’ve heard and seen enough, Mr. Siegel,” the judge interjects firmly. “Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy, I cannot begin to express how much time you have wasted on my part, on your counselor’s part, on Miss Y/L/N’s part, on Mr. Barber’s part–I could go on and on. This was clearly a claim filed with malicious intent to further rob a woman of a child that is rightfully hers. Furthermore, your case was not only built on false claims but also based on circumstances that you two have created for her. And I would argue that you did this knowingly.

“Miss Y/L/N,” the judge turns as she addresses you, “I would like to formally apologize to you. Nothing can compensate you for your time and the emotional distress you have faced while this case has been open. However, this is by far one of the easiest decisions I have ever made. It is this court’s decision to award full custody to Miss Y/L/N. Additionally, this court demands the plaintiffs to pay the full amount of what Miss Y/L/N is entitled to per Mr. Troy Benjamin Abernathy’s last will and testament and any additional costs, including fees Miss Y/L/N has incurred as a result of this trial. Case dismissed.” 

- - - - - 

You’re embarrassed as you stumble a little on the way from Andy’s car into your apartment. Feeling your face heat up as you steady yourself against the wall, you glance over your shoulder. 

Everyone encouraged you to indulge at dinner after leaving the courthouse. You think it was the biggest meal you ever had; three courses including a cake all to yourself and a very generous glass of wine. The drink hit you harder than you anticipated, but Ivy is none the wiser to your inebriated state, fast asleep in Andy’s arms as he reaches for you with his free hand. 

“You okay?” he chuckles.

“Mhmm,” you hum. “I haven’t had much alcohol since I found out I was pregnant with her,” you sigh. “I used to be able to hold it better.”

“Well, who can fault you for that?” he smiles, making your knees go weak. “You’re a good mother, Teddy.”

He steadies you as you walk the rest of the way to the door. Stopping to dig in your bag for your keys, your eyes rest on your daughter. 

“I try,” you say as you reach out to stroke her hair. 

“That’s all you can do.”

Smiling at his reassurance, you turn back to open the door and flip the light switch. Andy goes straight to Ivy’s room to set her on her bed and you retreat to your bedroom to change into more comfortable clothes. 

Your business casual outfit scratches uncomfortably against your skin, leaving you relieved when you pull on Troy’s old college shirt and some sleep shorts. Coming back to the living room, you find Andy unpacking Ivy’s bag.

“Oh, you don’t have to do that,” you breathe. “You’ve…you’ve done more than enough for her.” 

“I’m happy to do it,” he smiles, setting the last of her toys back in the storage bin.

“I can’t thank you for everything you’ve done,” you tell him shyly as he stands. You look down, fiddling with your fingers. “For her and for me.” 

Hooking a finger under your chin, Andy tilts your head up to look at him. “You don’t have to thank me.” 

You dare to place your hand on the center of his chest, hearing the fabric crinkle under your palm. Your gaze flickers from his eyes to his mouth and every fiber of your body screams for one thing. 

Leaning up, you capture his lips with yours, sighing happily when he returns it, wrapping his arms around you. You dart your tongue out and he pulls away, stepping back. 

“I’m sorry,” you’re quick to apologize.

“No, Ted, no,” he cups your face and kisses your forehead. “That’s not it,” he mumbles against your skin, voice rumbling soothingly.

“Then what is it?”

“You’re drunk,” he states plainly, licking his lips and tasting traces of wine from your kiss. “And you’re still my student.” 

You huff.

His thumb taps on your lower lip, making you retract your pout. “June 11th.”

“What?”

“June 11th,” he repeats. “The day after you graduate. That’s when I’m taking you and Ivy out to dinner. I’ll be coming into some extra cash pretty soon, so I’d like to spoil my girls.” 

Your knees finally buckle and you both giggle as he catches you. 

My girls.

You and Ivy are his girls. It’s a dreamy thought and you look at the calendar to remind yourself of today’s date. “It’s April 28th,” you sigh, leaning your head on his chest. “June is so far away.” 

“I know, Teddy, but I don’t wanna jeopardize your degree.”

“And your job.”

“Oh, fuck my job,” he laughs. “If I could, I’d…”

He never finishes his sentence, leaving so many unsaid desires hanging in the air. The two of you stand there in dissatisfaction, stuck in an unfortunate situation. It's only a matter of time, but he's here now and you're impatient.

“June 11th,” you agree reluctantly, looking up at him and smoothing down a stray strand of hair on the side of his head. “We’ll be free.”

Smiling, he dares to steal one more kiss. “It’s a date.”

[demi-rxndxm-stxff]

Greetings, my favourite follower :) Quick question: What are your opinions on different DHMIS ships? If you can’t answer it’s okay I just would like to talk to you <3 okaythankyoubye

Sorry this took a LONG while to answer! I've been struggling with school and my mental health. I will be rating out of 10. And remember, these are my personal opinion: Padlock: 6/10 personally I see them as siblings, but it's fine to ship it! Digital time: 9/10 one of my OTP. The only reason I don't give it a 10 is cause most people make Colin the "big spoon" and Tony the "little spoon". Digital Art: 4/10 I see Colin and Paige as besties! Shrignold x Paige: 5/10 Not really a big fan. Lampnold: 10/10 Cute ship! An OTP! Warren x Shrignold: 2/10 I see them as cousins/brothers Spinach x Steak: 0/10 I think you know why...

Bread boy x Spinach: 1/10 same as the last one Meatlocker: 100/10 MY ABSOLUTE FAV! Dead End Job: 10/10 OTP! Earlybird: 6/10 It sounds good Fluffy bird: 9/10 Cute ship! OTP Duncan x Andy: 9/10 Nice! That's all for now! Bye

Changes to the Popular Pairing List

Over nearly 9 years of Femslash Revolution, we have watched the popularity of many, many pairings rise and fall again. In order to better reflect this, we have decided to switch how we define our popular pairing list, which determines which pairings are too popular to be posted on Rarepair Thursdays.

Previously, posts were added to the list when they had appeared on the blog over 20 times across its whole duration. Under the new system, we will look at the number of appearances in the 10,000 most recent posts, which reflects approximately the last 18 months of content. Any pairing with more than 10 posts in that time span will be added to the list, while older pairings which no longer receive so many posts will be removed.

[phoebehalliwell]

any past lives headcanons (specifically king arthur related)???

hmm that's a good question i've seen a lot of wyatt = arthur and chris = merlin and i like it tbh but while admittedly i have not watched merlin i do love the idea of idiot x idiot romance where both are gifted in one field and severely lacking in the other so i would love to do a wyatt romance where wyatt is arthur in a past life and merlin's reincarnation is his boyfriend. bonus if the boyfriend was a wizard and was raised in that "merlin was an overrated hack" ("We're Off to See the Wizard." Charmed, created by Constance M. Burge, season 4, episode 19, Spelling Television, 2002) culture only to find out he Was merlin and just go oh lmao. which in this case i would make chris lancelot and bianca morgana and then add a zesty little backstory there. i don't think i'd have a guinevere. wait wait wait. Wait. arthur and morgana are related. yes? Chris is morgana. Wyatt is arthur. TBDLI (to be determined love interest) is merlin. Bianca is. is there a judas figure in arthurian legend?? i guess i'll make her lancelot and then establish the lore that she was wyatt's right man under the evil regime, which made her betrayal hurt that much more. oooh.

beyond that. i think i have undisclosed inklings of past lives for the davis squad (not so much effie considering she's already So Old.) kat defo has some past lives that are going to be explored. henry i kinda wanna give a past life where he's a pirate just to do a pirate episode. i kind of want peyton to be a reincarnation of brianna their super powerful telekinetic great great great great great aunt. i think i wanna give one of the cupitches (prolly pj or peyton) a high priestess past life where some old demons have beef with her soul and try to get her ass. tamora i would love to see as a great warrior in a past life something epic but only after she kind of starts to shed her shy skin you know?

RELATIONSHIPS IN PAST LIVES:

were once besties: pj x parker x peyton, bianca x wyatt, WILDCARD henry x effie

were once lovers: chris x bianca, kat x viola, melinda x [REDACTED], melinda x [REDACTED] (two!!), wyatt x [TBD]

once betrayed one another: wyatt x chris, wyatt x bianca, kat x viola, henry x [REDACTED]

um bonus i'd say that either dency or penn is melinda warren reincarnated dove Also has a specific reincarnation but that's top secret, warren and sheridan have definitely existed in the family before but i wouldn't say as any pre-established members but i would probably give them some type of narrative in the past just for funsies hey maybe they knew leo, keyboards has been a witch before, jenny has been a witch before, monica has been a witch before, luz has been a witch before, who else exists.... patricia, penelope, & phillipa of the prandy!lives au i would actually say probably have more incarnations in andy's family than the warren line,,,, just 4 zest. w shane & abel paige's source kids i feel like one of them has to have whathisface. the warlock. ummm. matthew. matthew tate. bc taste. idk who else would be there. who else do i have. bennie. the paige richard kid. probably comes from the montana line bc i feel like they've got some fucked up folx there. in another world (sorry leo) i would love to see a gen3 kid end up being a reincarnation of piper and falling in love w a reincarnation of mark.

Fandoms

I'm pretty chill when it comes to roleplays, some days I can't plot or be able to reply, but eventually I will respond to you!
