I think that initially Jungkook wanted to come up and get acquainted, as was the case in the first part, to invite her for a walk, and he tried to do it again at the bus stop, but he got too nervous and expressed a similar plan?!?!? or he planned this in advance with Taehyung in order to somehow get in touch with her, even if she cost him too much and thought that he could then get out of this contract, it was important for him to start communicating with her and be close.
I think that he is the guy from the bathroom and even at the first conversation he liked her and he wanted to get to know her better. and when he found out that she was Jimin’s friend, seeing her, he was definitely convinced of it. just like you described his intentions in the first chapter, when she fell asleep in his car with Jimin. he really loves her very much and he doesn't seem like a liar. I'm very interested in reading his POV, seeing oc through his eyes, and not reading oc's observations that she doubts and definitely doesn't guess. please let some chapter or drabble have Jungkook's pov from the moment he first saw her and after🥺😭
I understand how painful it was for him in the end to understand that she does not believe his actions and the love for her that he puts into her and surrounds her. but he must understand that she believes in their bet with Tae and is only playing along with him, but at the same time she has forgotten herself and fallen in love with him. he needs to confess to her soon and reveal the truth to her before it ends for both of them. time is running🥲
I would really and forever want to talk to you about love to hate you, because it is literally a masterpiece in literature, your style is elegant and the plot is incredibly exciting, especially for romantic souls. but you're probably busy and have more important things to do than that. just know that I love it madly. please let this never disappear from internet. 🥹❤️🫶🏻
okay oh my god im answering this so incredibly late but this genuinely has to be one of my favourite asks ever 🥹 i cant thank you enough for how much love you have for lthy and oc and jk. even more so for sharing all of your little thoughts with me 💓💓
i still wont confirm or deny whether or not jk is bathroom guy but i can definitely see why you and others might think that haha i know theres a lack of jungkook's pov in most chapters, so if i do find the time i would be down to write a drabble or two from his pov. its not a promise tho but if life allows it, i really would love nothing more because god knows i owe you guys some clarity. plus i think his pov would be v interesting for you guys too!! i like how much youve included from the previous chapters and even remembered how he approached her etc!! i feel like with how far we've come with the story its almost easy to forget, at least sometimes even i forget haha i guess only time will tell if you are right and if jk is actually genuine or not 😭
and you dont need to worry!! even if i stop posting one day, i wont delete my work. at least i dont plan to do so right now! thank you so so so much for reading and being so kind 💕

Rewatching Ninjago
(With no context other than the episode)
Hands of Time episode 7-8
(The time brothers and vermillion warriors joking and goofing up)
Wu (tied up as a prisoner):😐
I love how ppl recognize Nya as a part of the team now
Acronix: Im posting this on instabook.
Krux: Why must you ruin every moment with your devices!!!
theyre just like my family fr
Zane: My temporal scanner was damaged during our fight with the vermillion warriors
Jay: (giggles)
Zane: I dont see what you find funny Jay 🤨
Jay: I still think ‘vermillion warriors’ is a stupid name-
Kai, I get that your dad MADE that helmet but that thing is so clunky and huge like just put it down for a second my guy 😭
Lloyd: Wait, what’ll I use to get to the museum
Misako: Well, I WAS saving this for your birthday…
(Shows a whole ass ship)
Kai: ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!? FIRST JAY NOW LLOYD???? DOES EVERYONE GET A NEW RIDE FOR THEIR BIRTHDAY!?!?!?
THATS WHAT IM SAYING!!!!!
where TF are these old parents getting these goddamn military weapon rides 😭💀
Its so fucking funny bc Misako was like ‘no, i shouldnt tell you, Wu made me promise.’ And Lloyd says one sentence and suddenly shes spilling everything
I love how excited Zane looks here.
The Ninja aren’t fazed at the fact that Wus aging AT ALL 😭
Kai: Youre soooo fixated on your samurai x suit 🙄
Nya: Says the guy carrying around the snake warriors helmet 🤨
Love when they act like siblings
Tell your sister Kai she deserves to know
Kai: Do you know who this stamp belongs to?
Nya: No…
Kai: Our father.
HE TOLD HER 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Zane how are you NOT worried that Pixals still offline, like shouldnt you be freaking out 😭
He seemed to nonchalantly happy too
Like he was too excited being in Lloyds destinys shadow ship to be worried 💀
Does Lloyd even have a drivers license-
Kai: A blacksmith puts a mark on everything he makes. And our fathers mark is on every vermillion warriors helmet.
This is making me sad.
Wait, Kai doesn’t think his parents are alive? He thinks they USED to work for the hands of time.
Nya, girl, I love you but this IS concrete proof of your parents being traitors. Like, yes, its explained later that theyre not. But Kai IS making total sense and hes allowed to be angry about it 😭
Nya: Kai, that makes no sense!
YES IT DOES
ALL THE INFO HES GATHERED IS TIPPING INTO ONE CONCLUSION
Kai: (slamming his fists against the machinery)
(Whirs to life)
Nya: Whatd you know! Thought that only worked in cartoons haha…
Yeah.
Jay: All this stuff is junk! (Throwing around artifacts trying to look for a secret door)
Zane: (losing his shit by running after Jay and trying his best to keep all the museum artifacts safe)
HFNSJFNJSNT
Jay: (notices Zanes running after him)
Jay: (picks up a pot, jumps back in forth and watches Zane follow him, throws it purposefully to break it)
Zane: AAAAAA (catches it)
Jays such a little shit 💀
I love how much spotlight Nya and Kai are getting this season :)
Ohhhhh, i get it, the episode name is ‘secrets discovered’ because they all discover secrets…
I already know samurai x is pixal but I wanna know if Nya figures that out this episode
Honestly, this isnt that shocking since we, the audience, already knew half these ‘secrets’
the most exciting discovery is probably Nya and the theif behind her samurai suit
SECRET ENTRANCE IN KAIS PARENTS BLACKSMITH SHOP?!?!??!?
OMG I REMEMBER THIS
Its finally confirmed.
AAAA I LOVED THIS SCENE
Pixals such a fucking character i love her sm
Pixal (modifying her voice and changing it to sound like other people to throw off Nya): Maybe im ronin… or maybe Dareth???
This scene literally registered Pixal as a favorite character of mine.
Nya: Good moves, but thats takes you being Dareth out of the question.
Pixal (changing to Misakos voice): Your right, maybe im Misako?
Nya: LIAR.
Pixal: Or maybe im Garmadon, he always did have a nasty side.
You cant tell me Pixal is not having the time of her life toying with Nya.
Zane (in the time brothers secret lab): Whats weird is that theres no computers or modern equipment…
I wonder why.
They found the secret tunnel!!! Itll be so funny if they find the hands of times secret hideout when the time brothers themselves couldnt find it one time
Kai: Theres only ONE person who can understand what Im going through…
WHO????
Im genuinely curious who the hell else has an evil parent other than Lloyd and even then Garmadons not really evil.
OHHHHH SKYLOR
Pixal (using Nyas voice): I cant tell you my identity! I hide it to protect the innocent, my friends and allies would be at risk if my enemies knew who I really was. You were me once YOU KNEW THIS!!!
Yeah… and when Kai learned Nya was samurai x NOTHING BAD HAPPENED.
Nya isnt gonna tell the enemies who u are, like what??????
Nya: Whoever you are, you have proven you are worthy of having my samurai x suit :).
Pixal (in nyas voice): thank you :)
Nya: but stop using my voice. Its creepy.
I fr didnt get why some people shipped Pixal and Nya until I watched this episode, they have such strong chemistry, especially in understanding each other.
Nya: Also, reds my thing, you gotta find a new color…. Skylor 😏
HFNSJFNJSNFNER ITS SO FUNNY HOW FAR OFF SHE IS
Pixal (using skylor voice): A girls gotta have her secrets…
Honestly, pixal is so much better than me if I were her id be laughing my ass off in front of nya, tears and everything.
I cant believe Jay and Cole just ambushed and pummeled Scales and scales junior 😭 not to mention they kept beating them even when they weren’t fighting back until Lloyd put the lights on
The ninja are probably like the corrupted police to the serpentine
Scales: And this is my son, scales junior
Jay: Ha! How long did it take you to come up with that imaginative name???
Dude 😭 srsly?????? Not even an apology for beating up a kid like cmon
Scales Jr.: Out of my way, BLUE BOY. (Shoves jay)
YEAH FUCKING STICK IT TO HIM JUNIOR
Jay: Why are you looking for the vermillion warriors???? Trying to JOIN THEM????
Jay just stfu lay off them pls 💀
Scales: You don’t know what your dealing with, do you? The vermillion warriors are the pure first generation progeny of the great devourer….
THANK YOU SCALES. guess that answers the question of what the vermillion warriors are
I like to think Lloyd visits the serpentine here and there since he did control them in season 1. He had to have had made a few connections with some
Jay: Sorry if i uh, jumped to conclusions junior, haha…
Scales Jr.: DONT CALL ME JUNIOR.
Jay: I kinda like that kid!
Scales Jr.: AND DONT CALL ME KID EITHER.
Jay: Haha! Now I KNOW I like him.
Jfjjsnfhdnsntusnd
Kai: Its just so, shocking. To find our your father, someone you idolized your entire life, turns put to be evil… It makes you question everything you know and are…
Kais really going through it huh. like damn
Nya: I figured out who samurai x is!!! Its skylor!!!
Skylor: Am I now? I had no idea… does that mean I get that cool suit?
Love skylor
I am so attracted to her
Kai: Nya… Our parents are alive.
Howd you figure that one out kai 😐
Skylors so right tho, they arent their parents legacies.
Nya: Lloyd found Krux and Acronixs secret base!!!
Kai: Then what are we waiting for? Lets go!
Skylor: Wait! If you guys need any hel-
Nya: To-go bags? No thanks.
Skylor: ….
Skylor: I guess good quality noodles is all im good for…
If Skylor remembered skybound she probably wouldn’t feel this way ☹️
Im so pumped I cant wait for Nya and Kai to see their parents
Lloyd: And if we execute this perfectly… we should be able to save everyone.
Yeah we have 2 more episodes I highly doubt that
Lloyd: No pressure, but all of ninjago is depending on us.
Yeah. No pressure
Damn. Wu really has some issues.
I love how we delve deeper into Wus fears and insecurities this season
It makes you realize hes just human
I also hope Wu realizes hes made a lot more mistakes than he lets on
Wus nightmare Morro: Youve made many mistakes master… many.
THATS WHAT IM SAYING
oh
“You didnt have to do all this alone, we could have helped you.”
“Just ask for help.”
“You dont have to be alone.”
“You arrogance has left you alone.”
Damn, we’re really going deep into Wus character huh
Zane mission: locate cyrus borg
Jay and Coles mission: rescue the workers
Lloyds mission: save master wu
Nya and Kai’s mission: locating krux and acronix
Fuck yeah lets gooooo
Zanes acting like those guys who dont know wtf to do when their gf leaves for the weekend 😭 like bro do things yourself you dont need Pixal to do everything for you
Wooo lets go bruise team
Jay (whispering as he slips with he grappling hook): Not good not good not good not good 😰
Ohhhh i forgot that the time brothers kidnapped all the blacksmiths in ninjago
Jay: shhhh we’re here to rescue you- AGHH (gets jumped)
KARLOFF!!!!!!!!
I WAS WONDERING WHEN WE’D SEE ANOTHER ELEMENTAL MASTER
Karloff- Karloff. You’re choking him 😭
Cole: DAD?!?!?
Hcjsnfjdidnnrw
Is airjitzu a thing in newer episodes?
Krux is such an idiot
I feel so had for cyrus borg 🥲 hes trying his best to sabotage them but is always getting caught
Why is borg always kidnapped by villains, give my man a break 😭
Zane sounds so hopeless :(
Why is Lloyd so aggressive 💀 his first move is always a high double kick to the gut and he's ALWAYS the first to swing
Jay. I get that you can't airjitzu karloff out but to say the whole plan it a bust is just stupid. COLE HAS SUPER STRENGTH.
Sometimes ninjago has the stupidest plotholes
Jay: Does anyone know how to independently power a 200-foot industrial-grade carbon elevator in three minutes!!!?!?!!!!
Blacksmiths: ...
Cole: ... I was thinking ladder.
Can Kai stop keeping Nya in the dark-
Like dude just tell her your looking for your parents
GODDAMMIT KAI DONT FIGHT YOUR FUCKING DAD WAIT LIKE AN MILLISECOND FOR HIM TO EXPLAIN
God this scene is actually so good though
Kai's father: Your red like a vermillion warrior, but you are no snake...
Kai: I’m not, but you are, TRAITOR.
He must feel so heartbroken right now ☹️
Same for Ray (I think that's his dads name)
Kai: (hands light on fire)
Nya: (extinguishes it)
Idk why but that was such a sibling thing to do
It's like when your sibling is trying to do something and you slap their hand to stop them
At least Nyas being smart about this
Jay: (shakes the ladder)
(ladder collapses)
JAY.
OMG OMG OMG
THE TIME BLADE
Can Wu stop almost dying from tall heights
COLES LAVA HANDS COLES LAVA HANDS
HELL YEAH
It's safe to say they're not escaping stealthy anymore
Lloyd: Safe... Your finally sa- (has the gut kick happen to him and falls into a ditch)
Can he PLEASE catch a break
Kai's a mommas boy 🥹
Ohhhh I forgot that their parents made the time blades!!!! That's so cool
Ohhh so they kidnapped them as revenge. Got it
WAIT THIS ALL HAPPENED ONLY 40 YEARS AGO
Damn
Love Ray explaining everything for us.
God it must have killed them to be taken from their children
This is actually so traumatic
WAIT HOW FUCKING OLD WAS KAI WHEN THEY WERE KIDNAPPED HE LOOKS LIKE A TODDLER 😭😭😭?!?!?!?!?!?!
I need a fanfic of Kai learning how to take care of his sister at such a young age asap
The thing is, little Kai doesn’t even look as old as Lloyd did in season 1. And Lloyd was like, 10.
Can you imagine this 6 year old having to learn how to cook and clean the house.
Also i cant get enough of little freckled Kai he is too precious to me
Damn. Both Zane AND lloyd failed at their missions
Zane: I sense Jay and Cole nearby!
Lloyd: You sure?
Jay in the distance: BRING IT ON YOU VERMILLION DOOFS
Zane: Yeah, pretty sure.
I love Jays signature nervous laugh :)
Man, EVERYONES failing their missions
Ray: If the time brothers know you're the key to the last time blade then-
Krux: We’ll force you to retrieve it? Great idea!!
Everythings going to shit

So you know the whole "I'm pretty much Tommy's dad bc Phil should not be allowed near children. Ever." Hc abt Wilbur? What about an AU where revivedbur reveals Tommy's legally his kid? (Phil giving wilbur custody so he can leave on adventures w/ techno) (I also hc that Wilbur was 19 when Tommy, who was 2 got adopted.)
I GIVE YOU:
Revivedbur comes back, and the moment he sees Jack and Nikki again, instead of the heartfelt reunion Nikki thought she was gonna have with her long lost best friend, Wilbur, instead they both get a look of utter disgust and hatred.
They try to be heartfelt, and nice, but he just gives them curt answers and hums. He, instead, turns his back to them, with a question on his lips. He asks them, "What happened on January 26th, hm? I heard it was quite interesting." His posture straight, arms folded behind his back, like back when he was president. Of course, in true Wilbur fashion, he looked down at them, when glanced at them over his shoulder.
Jack and Nikki just mention the bombs that day. They dont mention the assassination attempt on Tommy's life, at all. Wilbur, of course, just scoffs and glares at them both.
"I don't like liars, you two. I want to know. What the everloving fuck did you do on January 26th?" He turns around to face them.
"We don't understand what you mean, Will? That's- That's what we did!" Nikki stammers, feeling judged and uncomfortable under Wilbur's harsh gaze. He takes on a mock surprised look.
"Oh? Hm, well, care to tell me why Tommy was so close to the bomb site that day?"
One step closer. They flinch, dread pooling rapidly in both of their stomachs.
"Care to tell me why when I asked both him, AND tubbo why he was there he says it was because you, Ms. Nikki, led him there?"
Another step. Wilbur's voice gets louder, and more angry at the second. Jack glares at the ground when he hears that both Tommy and Tubbo snitched. His clenched fists don't go unnoticed by Wilbur.
Nikki tries to save face with the spruce wood excuse that she gave Tommy. Wilbur clearly isn't buying it.
"Alright, I'll just cut the bullshit right now." Wilbur sighs, stopping Nikki's rambling. "I know you tried to kill Tommy. And I know you're still trying,"
"So let me make this clear." He starts, his hands falling to his sides. "Leave my baby boy alone, or else I'll make doomsday look like child play. Do you understand me?"
Nikki growls under her breath, and starts recounting the tales she's told herself and many other people many times. "Everything on this server that happened hes always been involved, and he's ruined the lives of everyone here! He started wars, and left us to rot in them!"
Wilbur is silent, until he's not. "Who started the revolution, Nikki? Do you know?"
"Everyone originally in L'manburg did, right?" She replies, quiet. "Wrong. I did. They just followed me." Wilbur asks again. "Who started the pet war?"
"Tommy did!" Jack butts in. Nikki nods her head. "Also wrong. Sapnap did." Wilbur sighs.
"Disk war?"
The answer is immediate. "Tommy." The reply is as well. "Also wrong! Dream did when he took Tommy's disks."
Wilbur starts listing names. "Schlatt; Manburg v. Pogtopia. November 16th; Technoblade and Dream. Doomsday; Also Technoblade and Dream, with my father this time!"
"Where, in that timeline, does Tommy seem to be the cause?" His voice is quiet. "Well-"
"Save it. I'm just going to ask; why do you despise him so much, when it is me, technoblade, and dream, who put you through everything? When it is us, that deserve your hatred?" Wilbur asks, waiting for Nikki's answer.
"He's rude. He's selfish, and loud. He screams and he hurts people just so the center of attention would be on him. He acts like he has every right to- to wear your coat, to mourn you, he acts like hes entitled to so much, it isn't fair!" Nikki rants, clutching her hair.
"Tommy's rude, because being nice got him stepped on and bullied. He's selfish, because being selfless got him robbed. He screams because screaming makes people remember he's there." Wilbur clenches his own fists. "Tommy hurts, because he doesn't know how to not hurt. And oh, oh Nikki" Wilbur coos, his expression turning stone cold.
"I believe my child does have the right to wear my coat, and mourn me after my passing. Especially when a good 7 or 8 years of his life revolved around me entirely."
Nikki froze, hearing those last two sentences. 'My child? 7 or 8 years?'
Wilbur ignores her thinking. "None of those things are excuses. But they are reasons. Explanations. Tell me, do you think killing him will fix that?! Do you think more abuse and suffering will fix what those very same things caused?!" Wilbur yells, clearly pissed off. Jack is smart, and keeps his mouth shut. "HE ISN'T A DOG, YOU DUMBASSES! MORE DISCIPLINE WON'T MAKE HIM BETTER! TOMMY, MY TOMS, IS A HUMAN CHILD." Wilbur screams, trying to get his point across.
A long silence follows
"Why do you keep saying that?" Nikki breaks it. "Why do you keep referring to him as yours, or your child?"
"Because he is my child, nikki. I have legal rights to him completely. For a good portion of his childhood, he was also under the impression that I was his father emotionally as well. It didn't change much, just his first word."
"Then why do you call him your brother?" Jack asks, awkwardly. "Because, Manifold, I was young, and terrified of being considered a dad. I was 19 when Phil brought Tommy home. I think I'm more open to the role, nowadays. I still see him as a little brother, but in more ways than one Tommy is my pride and joy." Wilbur hums.
"Hes the one thing I've had that's been mine completely, with no competition, and he stuck by me until death. For that, I'm willing to do anything to protect him. The fact remains that I will personally kill the both of you, should you go after Tommy again. I'm sure a few others share my sentiment."
With that, Wilbur leaves.
----
Uhhhh I hope you liked? I've been thinking of Dadbur some reason HAHA. Its just,, a cool concept to think abt
——————————————————————————
*takes a deep breath* *screams*
THIS IS SEROTONIN ON A SILVER PLATTER TY FOR THE FOOD
dadbur is MWAH CHEFS KISS and him confronting jack and niki? amazing spectacular show stopping jaw dropping stunning off the charts. now we just need a follow up where he and tommy see each other again and perhaps start the road to recovery and closure so ty for giving me permission to add onto your amazing idea in le dms!
n e ways
——————————————————————————
Being yanked back from the hazy void of what could be called Death was an experience he never wanted to inflict on anyone. Not even his worst enemy. Well. Maybe not entirely. Wilbur flexed his fingers. He was so used to feeling cold. Now he was back and he was angry. The freezing winds whipping around him barely had any effects, not when the white hot rage that raced through his veins threatened to burn him up from the inside.
He remembered it all. Memories flickered past like minnows in a stream, each one worse than the last. They blurred together, too fast for his mind to comprehend completely but one thing stood out loud and clear. Tommy’s name.
His precious baby brother. Oh god. What had he done?
Wilbur collapsed, trembling hands clutching at the gravel beneath him in an attempt to keep his face from colliding with the ground. He ignored the cries of concerns around him. The sound of flapping wings and the feel of feathers wrapping themselves around him made him sick.
Pushing his father off, he struggled to stand.
“Where is he? Where is Tommy?” He demanded.
Phil looked taken aback. Of all things he had expected his son to say, it definitely wasn’t that. A simple “hello” or even a “thank you” would have sufficed. He shook his head crossly. Of course Wilbur would be worried about Tommy. The rambunctious child had been his whole world.
“Not right now son,” He answered, trying to keep his tone as light as possible. “He’s fine, he can take care of himself. Helping you get back on your feet is what matters.”
“No!” Wilbur was surprised at how loud his voice was but he honestly couldn’t care.
Hazel eyes met sky blue ones.
“No.” He said again, softer this time.
Phil frowned. This wasn’t the Wilbur he had been expecting. This wasn’t the Wilbur he wanted back.
“What do you mean no?” Another voice piped up.
“Fundy,” Wilbur finally tore his focus away from the man who had lost the right to call him “son” years ago. “I want you to know that I never hated you. I’m so proud of you. I’m sorry for not being there and for not saying those words sooner. And Eret?” The king looked up at his name being spoken, surprise written on his face. “Thank you for taking care of him when I couldn’t.”
With those final words, he left the ritual site. He didn’t dare to look back. He didn’t think he was strong enough. He hadn’t even given the people he addressed proper time to form a response.
Coward.
Seeing Jack and Niki later down his journey on the Prime Path did little to soothe his mind. He didn’t know how long he stayed there, eyes ablaze and chastising them harshly for what they’ve been doing and are still planning to do. Wilbur eventually left them too. They stood rooted to the spot, shellshocked.
After his talk with Niki and Jack, he had made his way over to where he knew Tommy’s dirt shack was only to run into Captain Puffy. They had traded small pleasantries, her welcoming him back and him thanking her for her kind words. It wasn’t long before the conversation topic inevitably turned to Tommy.
“How’s Tommy doing by the way? Ghostbur’s memories told me that you’ve been a positive influence for him but they’re still blurry.” He asked, tipping his head slightly.
“Oh I’m so glad you asked!” She clapped excitedly. “He’s been doing way better nowadays. Sam’s been a real help with that. They’re building a hotel together, would you like to go see?”
Wilbur had accepted immediately.
The sight they had came across had to be the strangest one he’s seen to date. There was his little brother, his gremlin child, doubled over in laughter at something his old acquaintance Sam had said. Tommy’s shrill laughter could be heard for miles around. Sam’s bright smile made the scene even more heartwarming and for a selfish minute, Wilbur wished he was the one in the man’s place.
Stop. He’s happy now. He has people who care for him. You’ve been out of the equation for so long. Don’t be surprised that this has happened. He deserves good people in his life.
“Look who’s back!” Puffy waved, doing the speaking for him. He shot her a grateful look. She gave him a thumbs up in return.
“Wilby?” Emotions warred on Tommy’s face, one never settling long enough for him to be able to pick it out and give it a name.
There was so much to be done. So many wounds to try and fix. He had also played a hand in his little brother’s spiral, he knew that. And as much as the thought hurt, he was going to have to be ready to accept it if Tommy didn’t want anything to do with him ever again.
Not trusting himself to answer without choking on the emotions that were now welling in his chest and making their way up into his throat, he simply opened his arms.
It only took Tommy three seconds before he was tearing through the gate and tackling Wilbur in a hug. Words spilled out of the both of them, clashing together in a bittersweet symphony that shouldn’t be working together so well yet did anyways. It had always been like that between the two of them and it would continue to be so.
“I’m never leaving you again. Never.” Wilbur murmured into the mop of fluffy blonde hair. The arms around his torso tightened.
“Damn right you aren’t.” Tommy sniffled. “If you die again I don’t think even the afterlife’s gonna be able to save you from my rage you prick.”
“I don’t doubt that one bit.”
He would’ve liked nothing more than to stay in the embrace for the rest of the day but all good things came to an end eventually. They reluctantly parted. By now, the sun had started to set and the entirety of today’s events were starting to catch up on him. A yawn escaped his mouth before he could stifle it.
Tommy didn’t hesitate to drag him and Puffy back over to Sam, declaring that they should have a sleepover at Sam’s place to celebrate.
And that was where Wilbur found himself hours later. Tommy had fell asleep some time ago, snuggled close to Puffy’s side. He had just finished wrapping a warm blanket around the two when Sam walked back into the room, carrying two steaming mugs of hot chocolate.
“One hell of a day innit?” Sam said, using one of Tommy’s favorite words at the end.
Wilbur tried his best to shove down the wave of jealousy that rose through him at that.
“Yeah.” He said at last, letting a strained smile rest on his face.
They soon fell into a homely sort of silence, the only noise in the room being the crackling fire that burned away cheerily in the hearth. It wasn’t long before Wilbur started feeling restless again.
“So how’d the whole hotel thing come to be? I know Tommy’s er, financial situation isn’t the best at the moment and you’re not someone who would take up a task like that without some form of payment.”
Sam laughed. “Funny story actually.”
“We have time.”
“Alright,” Sam wiped away at some of the redstone dust on his pants.
“It was supposed to just be another normal day for me. Patrol the perimeters of the prison, go give Dream his daily meal of potatoes and water, go back home to my base to continue the project I was working on. On the way back, there was Tommy running at full speed towards me and shouting something about a hotel he wanted to build. With the way he was going you’d think he was being pursued by the most nightmarish mobs.”
Wilbur snorted. “Some things never change.” That made Sam chuckle.
“Yeah. Anyways. He wanted my help to build his hotel because he wanted there to be a place for people to go if they ever lose their homes. No sides so no betrayals. Neutral grounds. He’s a good kid. I told him I’d consider it but who could say no to those excited puppy eyes?”
“He used those on you too huh.” Wilbur snickered.
“Mhm. I finally agreed to help him and told him to give me half a stack of diamonds as payment. Got them way quicker than most people on this god forsaken server would ever give him credit for. A deal’s a deal so we began construction immediately the next day. Puffy had mentioned something about how much Tommy loved Animal Crossing so I spent the previous night fiddling around with a couple of devices and boom. Sam Nook was born.”
“I’m surprised less people have tried to teach Tommy this way. Using a method that wasn’t bloodshed or betrayal. He’s learning to be a kid again and learning lessons he should’ve been taught as a child.”
Wilbur winced. Had he failed that badly? Noticing his look of dismay, Sam held up his hand in a placating gesture.
“You’re back now. I may not know the entire history between the two of you nor do I think I ever will, but the bond you’ve forged once upon a time isn’t as rusted as you think. There’s still time to patch things up. He still misses you, you know. When he would tell me about you. Don’t give up just yet.”
The man’s words surprised him. Wilbur hadn’t been expecting such a message. He didn’t deserve to have hope. Not after what he’s done. Shaking his head to clear himself of the self-pitying thoughts, he raised his head and met Sam’s ruby red eyes.
He sees his own fiery determination reflected in his friend’s eyes. Yes. Sam would now be considered a friend. He had helped Tommy through so much and had let Wilbur into his home. Even offered him advice and allowed a ray of hope to break through the dark clouds.
There, surrounded by warmth and people he knew cared for him and who he would learn to care for again in time, Wilbur felt something inside of him solidified. It was now or never. He had been given a second chance and there was no way in hell he was going to throw away his shot.

'Why?'
Part 1
Tumblr media
Pairing= bf!Jake×bf!Heeseung×fem!reader
,,Jake? What did I do to you that you act like this?" you asked and Jake just continued packing his luggage. ,,I'm not gonna spent here more time. I loved you but you...oh. And you, Heeseung, you were my best friend, almost my brother. How could you?!" Jake shouted and closed door. You started to cry and Heeseung hugged you. You both were so in love but you still felt love to Jake. It was so painful for you. But that's life.
*flashback to how it started*
On beautiful morning, you decided to surprise your boyfriend at work. You baked for him his favorite dessert! You tried to make it taste differently than other time. "Just a few powdered sugar on top of it and it'll be done," you said and packed dessert.
As you were standing on bus stop, it started to rain but you forgot your umbrella. Because it was raining heavily, you needed to protect firstly present for Jake. You took your jacket off and covered package. "Oh no, I spent hours on it....and Jake didnt even taste it," you said to yourself when you noticed, there're no drops falling on you anymore. You looked up and noticed tall boy right next to you, holding umbrella above you and him and looking on road. "In TV, they said that it won't rain today. Such a liars," he said and laughed. His smile! He had such a beautiful and shining smile. You blushed and tried to cover your face by looking on your feet. "Haha, yeah. That's job I would like to do because there's no responsibility if you say something different from reality since weather is uncontrollable," you said and smiled. All of sudden, you and that boy looked at each other and it was love at the first sight. When you wanted to introduce yourself, bus came and you remembered why you even came to wait for bus. Jake!
"Hi, babe," you said and kissed him. He was sweating but, gosh, he was so hot! "Oh, angel. We just ended dance practice. And what do I see behind your back? Give me, I want it," he laughed and tried to get behind your back to get dessert. "Babe, first big hug," you said and he gave you hug you wanted. But you didnt think about that as he hug you, he can steal dessert. Such a smart boy! "Hey!" you shouted and he just laughed while eating dessert. "Woah, don't you wanna have your own bakery? You're so talented...and plus I can pay it all for you," Jake said but you didn't listen since you noticed someone similiar in practice room, practicing in front of mirror. "Honey?" Jake asked and you looked at him. "Um, yeah, I mean no, dont pay for my bakery or anything. I don't wanna have my own business," you said and Jake ended conversation with fast kiss and ran away. You decided to look at that boy in practice room and, as you hoped, you'll may get chance to talk to him.
"Wow, you're so talented," you said as he ended choreography. He looked at door and noticed you standing in door and looking at him. He smiled and you got butterflies in stomach. You both noticed that both of you are blushing. "Thanks. Um...are you waiting for someone?" he asked and you shook your head. "No. My boyfriend is already gone so. Yeah haha, I'm not," you said as you walked in practice room. He was drinking water and your butterflies started to fly wider. He was hot and attractive even when he was just drinking water. Unbelievable! "Oh, boyfriend? Funny that I have never seen you here," he laughed. "Yeah, I dont come here often because my boyfriend dont want me to visit him in work. But also, funny is that I never heard about you from him." You came to him and sat next to him. "And what's your boyfriend's name?" he asked and you got confused. Jake many times told you that boys were so jealous of him when he was talking about you in work. And as far you knew, Jake was the only taken boy from band. "Um, Jake. You don't know me? Since he told me y'all are jealous of him," you said and that boy took your hand. "Hm, maybe he doesnt appreciate you. You need more attention than he gives you. By the way, I'm Heeseung," he introduced himself and you felt something you've never felt before. Maybe, love? You didnt know but you were sure about one thing. He's right! Jake didnt give you much attention. He was always hanging out with saying he needs to go to work but then he came drunk and said that he hung out with his friend. But he never called you to go with him. And about appreciating you, Jake never came to you out of nowhere and never said that he loves you, or that he wants hug. NEVER. You knew that sooner you'll let him go, the better for you. "I'm Y/n, nice to meet you, Heeseung," you introduced yourself and he smiled. "You can call me Hee, that's how everyone here calls me," he said and you answered:" Okay, Hee."
After 5 minutes of just sitting next to each other and holding each others' hands, you realised something. "Oh, no, no, no," you said and took your phone. 14 missed calls from Jake. "What happened?" Heeseung asked and you stood up. "Jake. He called me 14 times. What if he'll come here? Or what if he has seen us and just left since it hurt him?" you were scared but Heeseung just stood up and hugged you. "Look. What's worse? He lied to you that we know about you. He doesnt appreciate you. He doesnt pay attention to you. He lied to you about many other things, I'm sure. Or that you're just trying to get to know his own members? Hm? Think about it," he said and left room. He was right, again. It was all Jake's fault. So you decided to go for a walk, all by yourself. You didnt call him back since you knew he won't care about you.
As you came to your favorite place for walk, you started to cry. You didnt even know why you're crying but you were. You say on the ground and hoped for change from Jake's side. You loved him, at least that's what you thought your feelings for him are. And you were sure you won't be able to leave him. You knew that. Suddenly, you heard your phone ringing again and you decided to pick it up. Jake! "Yes?" you said and tried to sound like you're totally okay. "Angel, where are you?! I was so worried. You know what time is it?" he asked and you checked time. 2am! "Babe, please. I'm sorry. I just needed to go for a walk. I'll be back in few minutes" you said and hung up. You tried to stop crying so Jake won't notice anything.
"Angel!" Jake came to you and hugged you so tight. 'He was crying?' you asked yourself when you noticed drops falling from his eyes. "Babe, I'm sorry," you couldn't hold yourself and you started to cry too. You both ended crying in each other's hug. It was the sweetest moment you've ever done with your boyfriend. Maybe your dream just came true. Jake maybe changed. But you didnt believe in it. Since he sometimes look like he changed but then, out of nowhere, old Jake is back.
"Hey. I brought you your own umbrella," you heard similiar voice and it was Heeseung. You wanted to go for a walk but it started to rain and you, again, forgot your own umbrella. Luckily, Heeseung wrote his number to your phone when you were panicking because you had many missed calls from Jake. "Gosh, thanks, Hee. By the way, dont you wanna join me? I love walking when it's raining. It makes me feel like I'm not alone anymore. And it's my dream to have date like this," you smiled at Heeseung and he nodded. "I also like walking in rain. But for me, I like it because I forget about every problem I have," he said.
As you were walking, it started raining heavier and heavier but you were in the middle of forest. You started to panicking, but he was calm. He tried to protect you by hugging you. When he noticed some old building, he didnt wait even for a second and he took you by your hand. So you both ended hiding from rain for next 8 hours.
"I never even thought about date like this," Heeseung laughed and you looked at him with confused eyes. "Um, date?" you asked and he stood up. "Y/n...I wanted to tell you something." You started to shake a little bit, butterflies in your stomach were so crazy and you couldn't look into his beautiful eyes. "I-I....L...Love you," he said and right after it he smiled. He took your hands and looked deeply into your eyes. "So...would you like to try it with me?" he asked and and you couldn't say no. You knew you were in love with him but...what about Jake? "Hee...um...yeah, I want." You couldn't believe it. Those words came out of your mouth without you knowing. You wanted to say truth, that you're in love with him but you have boyfriend. But your feelings spoke instead of you. They spoke for better future with your new boyfriend. Well, you just had to think about how to tell Jake about it. "Wow! You really said yes?! That's my happiest day ever," he said and hugged you so tight. You knew there's no way back. "I really did. I love you too," you smiled and kissed him. You never felt that passionate kiss. It was 1 000 times better than kissing with Jake. He put his hand on your waist, other hand on your cheek. You put your hands around his neck. And you knew, that the best night ever just started.

Protection
*some people might be disappointed because of the title, haha. its not what you think haha. 
Tumblr media
Summary: Reader works for the FBI (BAU lol) and Tom finds out about it and gets in a heated argument and it works out in the end.
A/N: Ok so this has to be me watching way too much criminal minds and wanting crossovers. I am also aware the working there is not what I wrote in here, but I wanted reader to be proud of what she does even if there are risks involved soo yeah. enough about me, hope you enjoy!
Your work was something that was a secret to most of your friends, not that you really had any. No one really knew you worked for the fbi, but that's because you didn't want anyone you love to get hurt. Finding love was hard because you couldn't say what you did for a living. I mean you could but it would be funny to tell someone, “yeah i catch serial killers most of the time how about you?” I mean you would pretty much scare them off.
Throughout the time though, you found that if you say you're a nurse they would believe you and would usually explain why you work all day and night, but when they somehow go to that hospital you said you worked at they suspect you as a liar, you know tricking men that you worked in a hospital to appear “cool ” as they would say. But if only they knew your real occupation. You did get a medical degree, but in a different area, and told your mom you graduated early, but in reality, you were taken into college for your brains, and you took classes in many areas of subjects for your career, and you graduated early, but left with some college debt, which you later paid. Later getting into the academy and being one of the youngest agents in the fbi.
Lucky later the universe was nice to you and brought you someone special. Tom. You met Tom when you were getting coffee on your one day off of the year. Tom noticed how lovely you were, I mean you were just reading a book, but to him you made reading look fun.
He walked up to you and you got to no one another and later on went on a couple dates. You really liked him and you didn't want your little lie to ruin everything, but he had told you he was an actor so it worked well for you, but you felt guilty lying to him. You knew lying to him was terrible, but you really liked him, and if you had to lie to keep him safe, it was worth it.
You were on a case where Tom happened to be shooting a movie. You were talking to some people in the industry business because the case was kinda smuggled in with it. You knew the chances of seeing him were low.
“So is there anyone that could seem, out of line, you know, getting too comfortable with the ladies or even the guys?” you asked the director.
“None that i know of..well actually there is one actress who complained about someone being too comfortable with her, let me get her.” he said as you nodded and called your boss.
“Looks like i got someone, not sure, but i'll let you know what happens.” you say as he agreed and you couldn't believe your eyes. The zendaya was standing right in front of you. You were so shocked. Sometimes this job has its perks.
“Zendaya, this is an fbi agent, agent this is the actress i told you about.” he said you shook hands.
“Hi nice to meet you, I'm agent y/n, i have a few questions if that's okay.” you said as she nodded. You were led to the lunch room where it was lonely so it was easy to talk.
“I'm sorry we have to meet under these circumstances” you said as she smiled.
“Yeah no worries, i'm just glad there is a way i can help.” she said as you opened the file.
“So this guy who was he?” you said as she tried remembering.
“Well he said he was my character's designer, you know making outfits and even making clothes and small things for the characters.” she said as you nodded.
“Okay, did he give you any gifts? Like jewelry, or even a prop that you weren't allowed to keep.” you asked as she slowly nodded.
“Now that you bring it up he has, he gave me this prop thats a hammer type of thing thats supposed to be from the middle ages.” she said as you nodded.
“Alright did you happen to catch his name.” you said as she nodded giving you a name. You thank her for helping you and luckily got a chance to talk.
“So what's it like being in the fbi? Is it anything like the movies?” she asked as you laughed.
“I mean not really, it's more paperwork than actual field work, but i guess this case is giving me more field work.” you said as you both chuckled.
“So what movie or show are you filming here? I mean if you can tell me.” you said as she nodded.
“It's the new spider man movie, have you heard of it?” she said as your eyes went wide. There was no way you were here. Tom could've seen you.
“Really? I uh, yeah I have, I might see it.” you said as you jumped over your words as she nodded and was called by what you assumed was her assistant.
“Well I have to go, good luck finding this creep,” she said as you nodded.
“Oh wait, here's my card, if anything happens, or if you remember anything.” you said as you handed it over and she nodded.
You then sighed and turned around to only see tTom. You were just staring for about a good minute and you turned around trying to leave the set. He followed you seeing why exactly you were here.  You were trying to get away but he got to you.
“y/n! What are you doing here, love? Did you come visit me?” he asked as you just stumbled on your words.
“I uh, i h-” you said as the director cut you off.
“Agent y/n! Did you end up talking to zendaya?” he asked as you nodded.
“Agent?” Tom said as the director caught up to them as you looked at his emotions change.
“Yeah i did, i should have everything, but please if there is anything you remember or even see these past few days please call me or my team?” you said as he nodded as you gave him a card and Tom just looked at you in confusion.
“Oh gosh I'm so sorry, I should introduce you to our spider man before you go. Tom this is agent y/n, she's working with the FBI on a case here, agent this is tom, you probably know him.” he said as you shook hands with him, you knew he was confused and possibly angry.
“I probably have, I hope your filming goes smoothly. I really should get going.” you said as they both nodded. You left knowing there was gonna be a fight at home.
A week later the case was closed and the creep was taken. You were just glad to go home and sleep, but you knew that wasn't the case. You then got a call, you answered and it was zendaya.
“Agent y/n? Hi this is zendaya. I heard you got the guy.” she said as you sighed.
“Yeah we did and it’s a couple more creeps, they are gonna go away for a long time.” you said as she chuckled.
“Hey I was wondering, if you wanted to go to the premier of the movie? I figured we can say thank you that way, and hopefully become friends?” you said as you knew what this could lead to, but heck one friend couldn't hurt.
“I mean that is if you're allowed to.” she said as you chuckled.
“Yeah i should be, but let me get you back on that to make sure I can go.” you said as you said goodbye.
On the plane ride home, you knew Tom would be waiting for you back home in the living room. As you got there you noticed the light was on. You walked in as expected seeing Tom in the living room. You put your bag down and kicked off your shoes. You walked over to Tom as he was sitting down. You sat across from him as he faced the ground.
“We need to talk.” he said as you gulped.
“Yeah i know.” you said as he looked at you.
“When were you gonna tell me?” he said as you looked down.
“I couldn't.” was all you said as he scoffed.
“You couldn't or you wouldn't tell me? How long were we gonna get away with working as a nurse?” he said as you understood his anger.
“y/n i have been nothing but honest, but you have been lying to me for 2 years! After I told you about my job, you never considered telling me yours!” he said as you looked at the ground.
“I really can't believe you would think you would get away with this! And it's clear to me that you didn't care! You didn't bother telling me.” he said as you looked at him.
“y/n please say something you not saying anything is clear to me that you were never in this relationship. What else have you been lying to me about?” he asked as you cleared your throat.
“I couldn't tell you because my job is dangerous,” you said as he scoffed.
“Please y/n, as if i don't know that. What if you died? Huh what were you gonna tell me then!” he said as you waited for him to calm down.
“Tom I didn't tell you because I didn't want you later being in danger because of me. I was trying to protect you.” you said as cliche as it sounded.
“You don't need to protect me love, you need to be honest with me.” he said as you looked up at him.
“Okay you want me to be honest, then here it is. I'm sorry I don't want to be the reason you die! I'm sorry I don't want to be the reason that your parents will hate me someday because I put your lives in danger. I'm scared that one day I will find you dead on the floor. I'm scared to find your family dead on the floor. If you haven't noticed i dont have any contact with family or friends because I don't want to risk their safety. That is why I lied to you and i'm sorry for yelling.” you said as you looked at him and saw him regret and you tried calming yourself down.
“And I was gonna tell you on my own time and no i didn't think i was gonna get away with this because i knew this exact conversation was gonna happen. And me dying was the last thought I had because I knew you and your family would be out of danger.” you said.
There was a long pause of just silence. Tom was upset, sure, but he never got to understand why you couldn't tell him. He knew your reasons but he wanted to know why.
“I-i am sorry, i'm really sorry i overreacted.” he said as he looked down to the ground and you just half smiled and sat next to him.
“Bubs, it's okay, you didn't know and you found out in a bad way so this is on me.” you said as he shook his head.
“No, it's me too, I'm the one who didn't understand, I should be forgiving you instead of you forgiving me.” he said as you shook your head.
“It's alright really, now you know, and you're gonna know everything I do from now on.” you said as he nodded.
Every couple has their ups and downs, and the downs get you to the ups, and this was one of them.

Flights Delayed
SAM WILSON X READER
A/N: why is this not my life??? I love Sam and this beautiful human being who sent in this request. I loved it and couldn’t wait to post this piece. Hope you like it :)
REQUEST: I saw your call for Sam Wilson requests on your arts and crafts fic, which was excellent by the way, and I thought I might send one in! How about reader as an avenger who either can’t make it home for Christmas, or doesn’t have a home to go to. And Sam stays with them at the compound and they stay up watching Christmas movies, until reader falls asleep on his shoulder. I’m a sucker for some Christmas fluff! ❣️🎄🎁 - Anon
Tumblr media
You thanked Happy as you climbed out the car, pulling out your suitcase and shutting the door. You giddely walked towards the airport entrance, finding the right area for Terminal 2. This Christmas you were staying with your family for the first time in 2 years. You couldn't wait to arrive home and feel the familiar comfort of your childhood home and forget about the stress and panic of the world for a few days. Soon, you found the waiting area for flight 227 and sat down amongst many awaiting adults, eager to go home to see their families. You checked the flight board, smiling at the green notices saying all flights were on time and that yours left in 35 minutes. Pulling out your phone from your puffer jacket, you noticed that you had a notification from the groupchat you shared with Nat, Sam, Steve and Bucky called SPYKIDS. Sam: hope your flight is good y/n, have a nice christmas x Steve: gonna miss you at the compound :) Nat: enjoy the break lovely xx Bucky: Sam is waiting for you to reply Y/N i can see him checking his phone every 30 seconds. Sam: am not Steve: liar Sam: shut up Bucky: dont be rude sammy Sam: I hate it when you call me that and you know it 😑 Nat: not when y/n says it you don't Steve: ....exposed ☕ Sam: wish id never said anything now 🤦‍ Nat: hehe You chuckled and sent back a text Y/N: thanks guys haha, have a lovely christmas sammy x You clicked on spotify and opened some music up, putting in your headphones to pass the time. Around 10 minutes later you noticed a lot of people were starting to talk louder and there was a bit of commotion. You turned round to see where everyone was looking and your heart dropped. Snow. It was fricking snowing outside. Normally you would have been ecstatic at the sight of snow at Christmas, but right now it only meant one thing. Delayed flights. You glanced up at the flight board and saw only one flight had been delayed. Crossing your fingers and praying to any power there may be, you sat down in your chair and searched the weather on your phone. Just 10 minutes later, the airport was chaos central. Almost all flights had been delayed and the frustration of tired people was rising. You had been flicking between the glass windows which looked out over the runways and showed you the increasing precipitation to the flight board. Your flight hadn't been classified as delayed yet and you could sense everyone around you was waiting with baited breath at whether it would change to delayed. You shifted in your seat and watched with utter sadness and irritation as the letters next to your flight number switched to state DELAYED. You groaned alongside the other awaiting passengers, just hoping for a miracle so the snow would clear up soon. This frustration unfortunately didn't fade away and as the minutes passed by, you felt a christmas surrounded by family slowly drifiting away. The snow was falling heavier now and you dreaded looking at the flight board, knowing the glaring orange letters would not ease the tension in the atmosphere. You glanced down at your phone, seeing it had been over an hour since your flight was meant to have left. A sudden speaker crackled and everyone looked up in hope, "We thank everyone for waiting patiently for information on their flights. Unfortunately, the snow has not cleared and the runways are becoming increasingly dangerous. It is expected that their condition will not improve so we must regrettably inform you that all flights scheduled for today have been cancelled. Our staff will be happy to help you find temporary accommodation and we will continue to update you on flight statuses. Thankyou." At once, the airport exploded into an uproar and angry passengers stormed towards the information desks. Your heart sunk as the flight board wiped out to display all cancellations. How were you meant to arrive home in time for Christmas now? You didn't want to spend christmas eve at an airport. Tears threatened to fall from your blurry eyes as your perfect christmas slipped away. You sniffled a little and unlocked your phone, deciding that texting your mum was best. You explained the situation and you got an instant reply, stating she was incredibly sorry and that they would all miss you tomorrow. You arranged with her to fly home on the 27th so you could still spend some of the holiday with your family. Sitting back in your seat, you looked around at the mania of tired passengers and wondered what you were going to do now. You had no clue if anyone was even staying at the compound over Christmas. Racking your brain for someone to call, you decided Tony would be the best as he would know everyone's wearabouts. He picked up after the second ring: 'Hey kid, everything okay?' he asked, concern in his voice. 'Urh no not really, all flights today have been cancelled and I don't know where to go.' You replied, trying not to burst into tears. 'Oh Y/N im so sorry. I can get someone to pick you up and drive you to ours if you want, I'm sure Morgan and Pepper would love to spend Christmas with you.' You sighed at Tony's kindness but the least you wanted to do was intrude on their private time and plus, the drive would take at least 8 hours in this weather now. 'That's really sweet but the roads are jammed Tony. Is anyone staying at the compound?' 'Yeah, Sam is currently there now and Steve and Bucky are going over tomorrow.' Tony replied and you sighed in relief. 'Okay thanks, I think I'll stay there with them.' 'Okay kiddo, call me if there's anything you need.' 'Will do, merry christmas Tony." "Merry Christmas y/n." You hung up on Tony and searched for Sam's contact, clicking on it and hearing it ring a few times before his gravelly voice came through. "Y/N i thought your flight had left?" He asked and you rubbed your forehead, a headache weeding itself into your brain, "Uh no, all flights have been cancelled because of the snow." At once, you heard Sam get up and his voice fill with concern, "Love I'm so sorry, I'm coming to pick you up now." You nod and sniffle, "Okay, thanks Sammy." "No worries, I'll be there as soon as I can."He replied. You picked your stuff up, heading for the terminal exit to wait in the pick up area. You sunk down into one of the padded seats, closing your eyes and leaning back against the wall. God you hoped Sam would arrive soon. Sam walked into the pick up waiting room, scanning the huge crowd for your familiar body. He weaved in and out of people until he spotted your defeated frame, slumped in a chair. His heart sunk at your sniffling and tear-stained cheeks. "Oh love I'm here." He said as he squatted down in front of you. You opened your eyes to see his face, brows furrowed. "Sorry for being a pain." Your hoarse voice croaked out. "Nonsense. Let's get you home." Sam replied, wrapping an arm around you and carrying your bag and suitcase despite your attempts to stop him. You shivered as you exited the building into the nipping air and Sam pulled you closer, heart breaking at your shivering form. He took you over to the car and opened the passenger side, letting you slide in before shutting it and placing your luggage in the back. He climbed into the drivers side and turned the engine on, wanting nothing more than to pull you into his lap and hug you whilst you cried. But, that would cross over the boundary that clearly defined your relationship as 'Just Friends' so he had to make do with holding your hand across the console. After a while, you stopped crying and your body had relaxed into the warmth of the car, easing your throbbing head. You softly spoke to Sam, "Thankyou for coming to get me, I know this isn't how you wanted to spend your Christmas Eve." Sam chuckled and rubbed his thumb over your hand, "Its alright love, driving home a snotty girl definitely wins over watching another of Steve's movies." You laughed slightly, greatful for Sam's attempts to cheer you up. Sam beamed as he glanced at you, "how does me and you and some Christmas movies with a shit ton of food sound to cheer you up?" You smiled and looked at Sam, "that sounds lovely." When you had arrived back at the compound, Sam had told you to go and get showered and change into comfy pyjamas whilst he got some food ready and you couldn't muster the strength to disagree when that sounded perfect. You walked into your room, freshly clad in a pair of warm joggers and an oversized tshirt, feeling a lot more relaxed about the situation, knowing a Christmas spent with 3 of your favourite people would be amazing and that you would see your family very soon. Sam knocked on your door when you were finding a pair of fluffy socks, one of his hoodies in hand. "Thought you might want one of these, I know you steal my hoodies when you think I'm not looking." You felt heat rise to your face, embarassed but taking the hoodie none the less, knowing the cozy fabric and relaxing smell would calm you. "Thanks." You replied, making Sam grin. "Foods ready, where did you want to have it?" He asked, watching you tug the hoodie on. "Oh uh if you don't mind my bed is looking really inviting right now." You replied, tugging on the ends of the hoodie's arms. "Sure thing." Sam winked at you before walking in the direction of the kitchen. Your heart fluttered at the gesture and you shook the thoughts out of your head as you scooted under your bed covers and sat up against one side of the headboard. Not 5 minutes later, Sam returned, quesadillas and popcorn in hand, grinning at your swamped form in the bed. "Oh you're a godsend." You said as he handed you a plate of your favourite food. Sam chuckled and placed the popcorn on the bedside table. "Do you still want me to join you or do you want to be left alone?" He asked considerately and your stomach jumped at how sweet he could be. "No there's room for you, scoot over here Sammy." He grinned and clambered in bed next to you, his own plate of quesadillas resting on the duvet covering his lap. "So what will it be Elf or the Holiday?" You asked Sam, mouth already full of cheesy goodness. "I don't mind." He said, watching you with so much adoration on his face that if Bucky or Nat had seen him they would have shipped him off to a deserted island so they didn't throw up at the sickening love radiating off him. "the Holiday it will be then. I'm in the mood for some Jude Law." You giggled, taking another bite of quesadilla and grinning at Sam. You continued to watch the movie together, finishing your food and somehow migrating towards each other while sharing popcorn, both of you excusing it as needing to be closer to share the bowl. You were gradually growing more tired, struggling to keep your eyes open as the rollercoaster of emotions you had experienced today had wiped the energy out of you. Sam tensed when he felt your head rest on his shoulder but relaxed when he saw your dozey gaze watching the TV. His body filled with warmth at this moment you were sharing and he dared to put an arm around you, pulling you closer to him so your head was now resting on his chest. He feared he had overstepped the boundary but you made no complaint and placed your hand beside your head on his chest. A small smile flickered across your face as you snuggled into Sam, his warmth washing over you and making you even more tired. Sam watched the credits for the movie roll out and was about to speak to you when he noticed your eyes were closed and your breathing had regulated out. His heart flipped at your sleeping form and he brushed the hair out of your face, turning the TV off and moving to get up. Your hand tightened on his sweatshirt though and a soft grumble came from you, "Dont leave." You mumbled, holding onto Sam. He nodded and scooched down in the bed so you were both comfortably laying down, "Night love." He said, stroking your back soothingly, "Night Sammy." You whispered, falling back asleep. You woke up, surprisingly warm and went to stretch when you felt a hard object in your bed. Your eyelids flickered open to reveal a softly sleeping Sam sprawled out onto your bed, your legs entangled. He looked so peaceful asleep, the creases that often littered his face due to worry smoothed out and leaving him looking even more heavenly. You smiled and went to get up, suddenly feeling an arm tighten around your waist and pull you towards Sam. "Where do you think you're going love?" He murmered, voice deep and laced with sleep. Your heart pounded and you looked at Sam who still hadn't bothered to open his eyes. "It's Christmas morning Sammy." You said, laying with his arm draped over your stomach. "Exactly- Buck and Steve won't arrive for another 3 hours yet so we can cuddle for longer." Sam replied, eyes opening to look at you, a smile cheekily spreading onto his face. "What-no-" You started, not understanding Sam's reasoning at all. He closed his eyes and tightened his grip on you, moving so he was closer to you as he was lying on his front. "Just shut up and cuddle me." He said, smirking as he already nuzzled into your side more. You gave up, knowing you really didn't want to pass up the free offer to cuddle your favourite avenger for a bit longer. Maybe Christmas without your family wouldn't be so bad after all.

Can Avoados Read Fanfiction?
(will post on Ao3 very soon, so if youd perfer the link please ask me! )
V3 Talentswap using Thh Talents and Setting. All talents we're randomized (all have been set). Every comemnt/reblog/like (and any questions for any of my aus) etc is highly appreciated 💕
"Hey, hey hey hey," The purple hair teen proded Rantaro's shoulder for the umpteenth time. The lucky student should reply, though at the same time he felt like it'd be more trouble then it's worth.
On the other hand, the constant poking was annoying, even for the patience he had. And it wouldn't hurt to hear him talk.
"Yes, Kokichi?" The fellow student gave a devilish grin, awaiting this moment. Rantaro felt that he had fallen in a carefully lain trap and had no chance of escape.
" ... Do you want to read my work?" He basically vibrated in excitement. What a hard read, first a creepy grin and then the extreme childlike exciment? Long ago he decided not to figure out the self proclaimed "Supreme Leader's" (his talent had to do with writing fanfiction yet he paraded himself with the former title) motivations.
He weighed the options in his head, if he said no then he'd be pestered again. Who knows how long that would last, perhaps until the night time announcement. If he said yes, he'd have to read and maybe listen to him rant about a certain show or characters.
Yes didn't sound too bad.
"Sure, I'd love to," Based on the 'innocent' smile apparent on the other's face he feared he may have picked the wrong choice.
Kokichi suddenly reached in his pocket and pulled out a folded up paper. It was promptly shoved into Rantaro's hands.
With caution, he carefully unfolded it. The teen watched with large violet eyes, and rocked back on the heels of his feet. He did his beat to ignore his companion and looked to the paper.
Written at the top was fine print, and a list of slang that went over his head. Lemon? RPF? MxM? Not Beta Read we die like men?
Alright, alright. He skimmed to the large title which was a just an H, then preceded downward.
'Rantaro Amami had the second biggest dic-'
"... Why am I in this... story?"
"Uhh, cause it's for you! Duh! I don't know what shows you like, much less the pairings for each one. So I whipped something up that was personal, nihihi!"
"Isn't fanfiction about fictional characters, though?"
"Ugg! Real Person Fiction! Amami-Chan is sooo uncultured! Just read it, don't question it."
He decided to continue, hoping that the first sentance would be the only one of it's kind.
'The thing about him though, is how he may have fuck-' He skipped that sentence 'But he'd never been fu-' He skipped that too. 'Kokichi Ouma was the only one who even dared to challenge the stud. By challenge that meant de-pantsing him in the middle of the hall and shov-'
"So! So! So! Soooooooo! Do you like it? Isn't it good? I'd say it's my best work yet!"
He didn't even get through the first paragraph; the writing was worse then Miu's mouth and that was a challenge in itself.
"I'm sorry Ouma. I didn't even get through half of it. I don't want to insult you but-"
"You... dont like it?" His purple irises widened, and his once lively posture stiffened.
"I just... It just the first sentence definitely caught my attention but in a werid way? It's definitely not my thing, sorry," He probably sounded harsh- but what was he supposed to say.
He looked to the boy, his head lowered. Rantaro found his mind screaming at him. He was trying to be gentle, though it was hard to find positives in something he couldnt even fully read.
"...you..." His voice turned, as rough as stone and his entire stomach flipped.
Maybe he should've lied, this was a killing game after all and he'd never seen Kokichi angry before. Sure, the teen wasn't even close to his height and he didn't look like he had a muscle on him. However, who knows what could be hidden in that backpack.
"Haha! That was made in less then five minutes! That isn't even close to being my favorite work!" His laughter rang through the air, and all the lucky student could do was stare. "Don't look so dumbfounded! I gave you a test and you passed! Not a lot of people have, they just go tell me there filthy lies about how it's better then the classics. I hate liars, they aren't allowed to read my finest work."
Rantaro didn't say how hypocritical he sounded, instead nodding at the teen. He definitely did expect something better from the Ultimate Fanfic Writer. Th said writer began to dig in the back of his bag, producing a small hand-bound book.
"Here! I've sold this one for over 200,000 yen, but you can have it for free for passing the test," He highly doubted anyone could sell any book (save for orginal copies of something 2000 years old) for that price but found himself unable to argue.
He still looked at it hesitantly.
"Oh, don't worry! All content warnings are on the first two pages, but be warned it could contain spoilers. Also, you won't need to much background for the series to read it but the names will be a little strange to someone who hasn't played the games or watched the show. Otherwise, It'd be completely passable as 'orginal work's. I hate that term by the way, my ideas are orginal! I'm just inspired by the wonderful characters of 'arson man trash-fire' and 'the guy who puts up with his shit for some reason' and 'Sassy Girl who hates trash-man but loves guy-who-puts-up-with-everything'."
Though he didn't understand half of what Kokichi was saying, he skimmed the first page of story text and he didn't see anything that told about his dick or the like.
"I do like to read before bed, so thanks Kokichi. I appreciate it," The teen rolled his eyes in response but was smiling.
Rantaro couldn't help starting it as soon as he could; he was curious by the actual fanfiction writer's ability. He didn't realize he'd soon be so sucked into the world that he not only missed the night-time announcement but only stopped when he heard the morning one go off.
Oh... this was good.

Obikin x AU /part 1/
Here are some additional things to know before you read the fic.
The ages of some of the characters are: Obi - 28, Rex - 26, Anakin - 23, Ahsoka - 19 going on 20, Plo/Shmi - late 40s, Qui-Gon - early 50s
The thing about the setting is this: It’s still in the SW universe, so aliens, planets and the like still exist and I am mixing it up with our reality while using some slang from SW. It’s set in a peaceful time period, so it’s just a normal living situation for them at the moment. The Jedi are going to have a place in the story but nothing too major. I hope this is not too weird.
I was hoping this to be just a one shot but I had to go and write something that is deeper than just some shag scene. I do love readin just plain NC-17 stuff but this ain’t it one. 
There are some warnings /non-healthy life choices, mention of non-con/rape, foul language, ooc - it’s an au what do you expect/
Obi-Wan is in a punk-rock band by the name of "Space Maniacs" that has been active for a few years but has not been very popular until recently. They had started to search for a better studio to record their songs because the home soundproofed garage of Ahsoka's dad, as nice as he is, does not scream "professionalism". Or at least that is what Ahsoka and Rex had been trying to sell to Obi-Wan. Honestly, he does feel apologetic towards Plo, Ahsoka's dad, for all the inconvenience they have caused even though the man had said time and time again that he feels proud of their tenacity and doesn't mind as long as they keep out of trouble.
And when Obi-Wan meets Anakin, the musician tells himself that he may start believing in God, because it's a whole ass miracle that the man comes across the band. 'Cuz if a guy that cute knows the band, is offering his very real and professionally equipped studio plus has the total hots for a certain lead singer it must be some type of miracle created by the almighty Her or that's what Ahsoka had been going on about for the past 20 minutes in the backstage area of one of Coruscant's' better known night cantinas they had just performed at. The cantina is called "Dirty Habit" and tonight they may have met somebody that will be beneficial for the future of the band. At least that is what they are all hoping for.
Obi-Wan had to resist the urge to roll his eyes at the comment that the guy has the hots for him so he settles for a snort. Even if it was true the decision of having sex with someone that could be professionally engaged with the band, won't be a wise one to make. Even if Obi-Wan found the idea of kissing those plush pink lips and to have his hands go through those dirty blond curls, tugging them enormously enchanting. The younger man would make such pretty noises for him. Fuck, no. That is a dangerous zone to enter. He won't jeopardize this chance for the band just because of a shag. Even if it's the best shag he could have in his life.
The guy, Anakin Skywalker as he introduced himself 30-40 minutes ago to the band after they had finished their set made a very tempting offer that they can hardly refuse. He offered them a fully equiped studio to use for as long as they want for 30 cred each month. The band wasn't sure whether they can trust him because that seemed like a total scam, that in the end they would be the one that have to pay an enourmous amount of money. However he explained that he and his mother have a non-profit organisation that helps rising artists who struggle to find their footing. Anakin gave them their cards and assured the band that they can check them out first on their Infocache and confirm that everuthing is legitimate. He doesn't blame them as he understands the dangers of being a rising artist and the people who try and take advantage of that. The blond also explained that he has followed the band for quite sometime now, since they were still experimenting with their sound actually and choose to first observe them and later decided to introduce them to his mother and if everything with their donors went smoothly they would help them. And here he was, speaking with them, offering them a generous amount of help.
They thanked him, understood everything but came to an agreement that they need just a little bit of time and they will contact him back with their answer.
"Honestly, Nobi, I don't understand why we just didn't agree on it on the spot. Anakin seemed genuine and proper with his cards and polite talking. And not so polite ogling."
Obi-Wan glared towards Rex and flipped him off.
"What did I tell you about that nickname? Stop using it. It's annoying. Also, we should not appear desperate. Weren't you the ones that were yapping about how we should "behave more professional-like". I was trying to not appear like I was going to suck this guy off. And I am the one who is in the wrong?"
"He didn't seem to mind. Bet he would suck you off before you get the chance to do it. Haha" the young togruta tried to whisper talk but it was loud enough for the fuming ginger to hear.
"Seriously you too? Can I get a break from the two of you?"
"Whaaaat? Come on, Obi. I know you are irked because Satine decided to end up things but you seriously can't blame her or take it out on us." Obi-Wan was contemplating the ways he could make a murder look like an accident or suicide. "Honestly, you can't look me in the eyes and tell me that you didn't know that this was coming. Like seriously, it was not going well."
Rex was watching his bandmates from the side and was sensing that things were going to either explode soon enough or their lead singer was going to storm out of the room to go get shit faced, sleep in some alleyway and get him and Ahsoka in trouble.
"Ahsoka." Both the man and the girl turned towards Rex. "I think it's time to stop with the jokes and get you home." The lead singer's eyes filled with gratitude towards the bass player and he gave Rex a little smile.
"Oh, Rex, you too. Let's have a little drink to celebrate. We deserve it. You two should stop behaving like old men. You are in your freaking 20s. Live a little."
"Rex is right. I have to go to work tomorrow morning. Get off me and prepare to go."
"That's not true. I know your schedule, it's your day off." Ahsoka scowled at Obi-Wan with disbelieve and crossed her arms in front of her. The man was trying not to snort at the display off childness of their youngest bandmate.
"Well, I decided to take a shift. The extra cash won't hurt us. Especially now that we have to pay for a studio." He smiled a little and gave Rex a knowing looking.
"So we are going to accept the help?!"
"Sure" Obi-Wan turned his gaze towards Ahsoka, gave her a bigger smile and then transformed his facial feautures into a more irritated emotion “Now let’s go because your father it’s going to kill me.” 
-----------------------------------------------
Of course, Obi-Wan didn’t have an extra shift and Ahsoka doesn’t have to know that. It’s not like he doesn’t want to get an extra shift, the thing is he can’t get one because he has the maximum available shifts his manager can give him. Other people have to work too, you kriffin menace, you know that right. Also I am going to tie you up to your bed and not allow you to do anything for a week straight if you don’t stop bugging me. Obi-Wan is slightly afraid of Cody now. He was even thinking of asking him to help in another position but he decided against it. Maybe Cody is right but that doesn’t mean that the Obi-Wan is going to listen to him. He has responsibilities and he can’t allow himself to rely on other people. Even if that was the reason him and his father have become estranged. It doesn’t matter, not anymore. He is a capable adult who does not expect other people to do his work. 
He may start to search for another job.
The ringing of the phone by the bedside brought up the troubled man back to reality. Shit, Ahsoka. Maybe he can ignore that. If he waits long enough it’s going to stop ringing. Ah, yes. Silence. Then a massage sound.
DONT IGNORE ME, KENOBI! I know.... 
Oh, for kriffing....She went to his job. Ringing again.
“Shouldn’t you be at Uni?”
“Shouldn’t you be at work? You liar. You know better than to lie to me, Obi-Wan. You should have just told me that your old bones were tired yesterday and Rex and I could have stayed and you could have gone home without lying. Also I have 1 hour brake and decided to visit your sorry ass. Know can you... ”
The older male was trying to remane calm as he knew that getting mad at the girl won’t be a sensible decision. She was right. He lied to her but she didn’t know earlier and was probably just worried that he was exhausting himself and wanted to check on him.
“Ahsoka, can you please slow down. Look, I am sorry. It was a stupid thing to do. Sorry for making you worried.”
Silence.
“If you want to...” Obi-wan started with a sigh but couldn’t finish.
“Next time just tell me the truth. I may be young and have to experience things but I am not daft....I am sorry too. For annoying you about Satine and the Skywalker guy. I was just trying to have some fun. But it was that peachy for you. I should have known better. It hasn’t been that easy for you this past year and I chose the wrong way of cheering you up.”
“When did you mature so much?” the older man was getting filled with a warm sensation in his chest. Proudness. The proudness of a big brother. Even if they weren’t related Ahsoka was close to him as any real sister he could have had.
“Tell anything to Rex and you are dead to me.” the girl warned him with an exaggarated threat in her voice.
“Hahah. I think Rex will truly appreciate the way you are starting to carry yourself, the way you think and sense the emotions in other people. He will love this side of you as much as he adores the careless, fun and cheerful side of you. Rex hasn’t been around as much as I have but his brotherly protectivness over you seems to be stronger than mine.”
“Stop it, you are making me blush.”
“It’s very much true. You know that one time-”
“So when are we going to talk with the Skywalker guy?” Ahsoka seemed to be in a rush and cut off the sentimental notion that the conversation was headed to. Obi-wan rolled his eyes. There haven’t been any time to really think about it but it has been sitting at the back of his head, constantly reminding him. The sooner he calls the better for the band. However there was this constant feeling of anxiety that was washing over him. He doesn’t know what to do. He can’t tell his bandmates, they would think he is just not getting enough sleep or food. He can’t talk to Cody because he really had the chance to tell him anything about yesterday and Ahsoka was waiting for an answer now.
“How about tomorrow? If that’s alright with you Miss Ahsoka?”
“Of course, my leash. My very trustworthy Knight in armor or Jedi in robes. I don’t know. Choose one. That’s sounds fantastic. I’ll talk with Rex and come by your house after I am finished. You just go and sleep, you old man.”
“Stop calling me an old man.”
“You stop acting like one.” she said with a mocking tone and hanged up.
Oh, Force. Sometimes he wishes he has chosen a different path for his life. This one seems like it needs a restart. Hm, maybe he should have become a Jedi. What he knew from his father is that he is Force sensitive but when a young Jedi had come to speak with Qui-Gon about the future of his child he had declined the offer of giving Obi-Wan to them. They had a long conversation and had concluded that as an ex-Jedi Qui-Gon had the abilities to keep his son save and help him if there was any trouble. So in reaching an agreement of Obi-Wan’s future as a Force Sensitive kid he can say that he had a pretty normal and stable upbringing. Well, except maybe a few instances. Some of those were his own fault so he couldn’t really blame the people that came across him. He turned out quite decent in end. For the most parts.
However from the texts which he could find about the Jedi some things seemed more appealing than others but certainly they didn’t feel as they were too far way from him. He could have easily fit with the culture. But he loves music too much too give it up now. He loves Rex and Ahsoka as his own family and he doesn’t want to let them down.

There was a banging from somewhere outside but the drowsiness from the sleep couldn’t quite allow him to register where it came from. After a few more moments of banging and the voice of Ahsoka, Obi-Wan finally came to his senses. The door. 
He rubbed his eyes and yelled a muted “I am coming. Stop doing that. The door is going to fall.” He was still sleepy and couldn’t find his slippers so he just headed barefooted with one open eye towards the door and opened it.
“Finally. We were going to- Can, you please put something on ?” Ahsoka looked her friend up and down, unimpressed and passed by him to go inside. 
What in the blazes... His sleeping habit of undressing himself had acquired for the first time when he was hitting puberty and he couldn’t exactly explain what is what connected to. It’s probably the most embarrassing habit he could have developed, especially when the first time it happened was during summer camp with the freshers being mixed and him trying to sleepwalk to there in the early morning with his blader not allowing him to sleep. He couldn’t have predicted that there would be somebody else. He also didn’t know about the lack of clothes on him. With the years it got less frequent, thank the Force.
“We brought food and a holofilm. It’s the crime-suspense one we have been wanting to watch.” Rex tried to hide his smile and not to comment that his friend hasn’t been able to outgrow his adolescent habit. It’s not like everyone can train their brains to do what you want them to do, damn it, Rex.
“Did you come here straight from Uni?” Obi-Wan was trying to speak to the younger girl while she was putting the popcorns in the nanowave and just not staying in one place. He had two rooms + fresher and a balcony. How much more she can move?
“Sure. Why?” she moved to the balcony taking a pack of cigarettes. Obi-wan took the whole pack out of her hands and threw them to Rex. “Hey, come on”
“Not good for you.”
“Look who’s talking. Blondie, pass them back.” 
“I ain’t getting into the middle of that. I am just minding my own business, thank you very much.” 
“Chicken” Ahsoka puffed her cheeks out, signed and put her hands on the balcony’s metal barrier. 
“You should spend more time at home. I thought you stopped being a bratty rebel who didn’t like her dad that much with no reason.” 
“I did. And I do. I do spend time at home I mean.” A few beats pass by them, looking to the Coruscant’s landscape, basking in the noises of the city and background noises of Rex doing something in the kitchen. Ahsoka straightens up and turns around towards her friend, looking at the ground, playing with something in her hand. “I love my dad, don’t get me wrong. But sometimes there comes a time when you just feel like you have to split from each other and live alone.” A few more beats pass by “You understand better than anybody I know.”
“Of course I won’t judge you if you want to live separately from your father if that’s what you mean. I do hope you talk to him first and not just run away.”
“Absolutely. I am not that irresponsible, not anymore. I am sure he will miss me and it would be much harder for him than it is for me. I just need this at this point in my life.”
“I am sure he will understand. He is going to absolutely throw you “a goodbye party”. Or more likely “get home sooner” one.”
“Oh, Siths. Please don’t make me imagine this. It just sounds embarrassing.”
“Rex is totally going to get everything filmed.”
“I already know that I am going to kill him.”
Both of them laughed at the ridiculous situation. Obi-Wan placed his hand on the younger girl’s should in a reassuring manner. 
“Whatever you decide to do I am here for you one hundred and ten percent of the way.”
The togruta smiled at him and pulled him into a hug.
“Thanks, big bro”
“Oi, the sappy bunch, are we going to watch a movie or what?”
The other two rolled their eyes and returned back inside. While the two were chatting outside Rex had set the snacks and drinks on the coffee table and prepared the film for just pressing the play button. 
“Hey, look what we’ve got here. Can you believe, Obi. Our bassist is good at more things than just looking good, playing the bass and getting us a free drink.”
“He is sometimes good at repairing stuff. You gotta give him that.”
“Oh, yeah for sure.” the other two snickered while the blonde was flipping them off.
“Haha, you guys. You are a golden comedy duo. Can we now just watch the damn film? “
“Absolutely”
Halfway into the movie, Ahsoka fell asleep and the guys let her sleep on the bed and called Plo so he won’t worry about his daughter being kidnapped or something else. He told them that he could come to pick her up so it won’t be trouble for Obi-Wan but the younger man reassured him that it was no problem at all.
“So we are calling the Skywalker guy?”
“That is what you want, guys, right? I am not making that decision just on my own and just presuming your opinions.”
“Yeah, it is.’
“Then it’s decided.”
The two men were sitting on the floor cross-legged, drinking whatever was left from the things Rex and Ahsoka brought. 
“Do you want something stronger? “
“What do you have in mind?”
 “Cheedon whiskey. You know that is not my usual preference but someone who I used to fuck from time to time gave it to me recently as a gift for our good times. Amusingly he was there when Satine and I, well Satine to be precise broke things off. “ The ginger was pouring the drinks while talking and his bandmate was watching him cautiously .”But this is a great drink. Let’s drink to our future success. Cheers.”
“Cheers.” Rex watched his friend enjoying the brown beverage going down his throat and then looked at his own and sipped a little. Making a face because of the burning sensation of the drink. It had good after taste but Rex is definitely not the biggest fan of this type of liquor. He prefers his beer.
“How are things with after Satine? I mean I know you don’t like sharing the hard stuff with us, especially me. You sometimes talk to Ahsoka but you haven’t said anything. What I am getting at is that I am worried. We are worried, with Ahsoka. And we want to know if everything is really fine.”
Obi-Wan knew that Rex didn’t like initiating conversations with serious topics. He was usually there when you needed him, he doesn’t ask you a question, just stays with you until he knows you are ready to tell him what’s wrong. And Obi-Wan could sense the uncomfortableness in Rex’s everything. The older male greatly appreciated what his friend was doing for him and he didn’t want to just blow him off. He knew that it took strength to do something you don’t enjoy doing.
“I can’t blame her. As much as I want to say it was both of our fault. It was mine. I just wish she could have done it sooner for her own good. I was too much of a coward to leave her. I stayed with her just because I was used to it, but I didn’t really feel the way I felt before and it wasn’t fair to her. And that not being the worst part. Now cheating is what an immoral person does.”
“You know that wasn’t the full story.”
“Wasn’t it? I remember it differently.” Obi-Wan was pouring his third drink now and Rex was thinking of hiding the bottle. Or plain pouring it out into the sink.
“You don’t remember half the night. That is the problem. You are trying to take the full blame for something you weren’t even half-conscious to do.”
“But I was conscious enough to kriffing get it up and stick it up into a guy’s ass. Wasn’t I, Rex?” The ginger was trying no to raise his voice so he won’t wake up Ahsoka but he was having a hard time. He stood up, cursing under his breath, took his cigarettes and went to the balcony. 
Rex was blaming himself for even raising the question. He knew better than that. Why did he even try to get something out of the older? He never wins with him. His brother is better than him with that. Dealing with Obi-Wan Kenobi. Kriffing Siths. He begrudgingly went to the balcony’s door frame and stood there. Shifting his eyes between Coruscant’s view and his friend’s back. 
“Look, I know it doesn’t matter what I say, you are going to continue putting the full blame on yourself, but just know that. I am on your side. I will call you out when it needs to be done. But not when you don’t deserve it.”
“I wanted it, you know that Rex. I told you. You were there.”
“You were drunk. He wasn’t.”
Obi-Wan turned around with glistening eyes. Tears. 
“I said yes, Rex. I said it. I would-I would have said it even if I was sober, Rex. I know it. I do. I just-” the older male dropped to his knees. Putting out his cigarette and hanging his arms to the side.”I am just-just not sure anymore.” 
He looked up to Rex, with his cheeks already wet from the streaming tears. The blonde crouched down and hugged his friend. They stayed that like for a few minutes and Obi-wan spoke again, with a hushed voice.
“I think I am just trying to convince myself at this point. Not trying to fall apart. I can’t do it. If I fall apart I have to tell her. She can’t know, Rex. She’ll blame herself that she didn’t let me speak. It’s better that way.”
Rex pulled away from Obi-wan and sat on the floor across him, looking at his friend.
“You are kriffing idiot you know that. How is that better? Who is it better for exactly? Not you, that’s for sure.”
“Don’t say anything, Rex. Please. Not even to Ahsoka.”
Rex was wondering really hard how he could just prevent his friend from harming himself further than he already has. 
“I am not the person that is going to tell you how to live your life and what choices you have to make. That is your job. But I am the person who is going to be next to you until you want the help you need. Ahsoka and I are going to be here. Cody too. He cares for you too, even if he has “the though love makes you stronger logic”. Rex paused for a moment and continued “Your father will always be there for you too. Well, at least until you know. Nevermind.” He dies Rex thought.”Maybe things with Satine won’t be the same but they don’t have to be. The important thing is that you feel better.”
Obi-wan stopped crying and he was sniffling softly. Trying to get his composure back. He didn’t like showing his vulnerability. Even to his friends. He would start to think of himself as a burden but wanted to stop it.
“I don’t think I am ready yet Rex. I don’t think I am able to face it.”
“Look that is perfectly alright. As long as you don’t try and deal with it alone in an unhealthy way. We are here for you, okay.”
The only thing the ginger could manage as a response was a weak nod. He searched for his cigarettes and popped one his mouth. Rex picked up the conversation again.
“Truly the pot calling the kettle black.” he laughed a little to his friend’s earlier hypocrisy to Ahsoka. The older male looked at him confused.
“Huh? Oh, that. You know that I have tried to quit several times with no positive outcome.” He lit his cigarette and let out a blow of smoke.”It’s truly something I’ll never be able to fix.”
“Whatever you say, Nobi, whatever you say. Do you want me to stay more because the public transport will soon stop and the prices of the hovercabs are going up.”
“Nah, go. I am going to fine.”
“Call me when you get a word from Skywalker.”
‘Absolutely.”
----------------------------------------------- 
The next day came faster than he expected with the bustling city noises waking him up. He forgot to close the door to the balcony last night. He remembered dragging himself from the outside, laying down his futon and just laying down. Now he had a duvet, which he didn’t remember getting. Ahsoka. She is still sleeping. He realised it’s still early as Ahsoka haven’t gotten up and she usually doesn’t have classes until late morning or early noon. He wasn’t sleepy, which meant his day will be longer and that annoyed him to no limit. He grunted and pulled the duvet over his head.
“Can you please just let me sleep for one more hour? Your grinding teeth are really kriffing annoying you know that. I think you should really go and let a doctor check you out. You have too much sleeping habits. It’s not healthy.”
“I just woke up and you are already annoying me.”
A small heart-shaped pillow flew over his head almost hit him in the face.
“You missed.”
A creak from his bed followed by footsteps on the wooden floor. His eyes were closed so he did not anticipate a soft yet hard hit on the face by a larger pillow.
“I think not. Ugh, now I am woken up. Make us some coffee. You are the host. Be one.”
“Half of my wardrobe is filled with your clothes plus a couple of your shoes. I think you can make your own coffee.”
“You are unbelievable.”
A small scratching noise was coming from the window outside followed by a meow. Ahsoka’s head snapped towards the noise and she went to check it out. There was a middle-sized loth-cat. The cat’s whole body was white except a patch of brown on top of each eye. Which was now meowing in Ahsoka’s feet, not knowing if it could do anything else
“Did you get a loth cat and not tell me?”
“She’s not mine. She just came one day and I started feeding her. She comes from time to time and I give her food when I am here. She seems like she’s domesticized. She had a collar when she first came but not anymore. Didn’t have a tag or anything like that.”
The togruta had already started making noises at the animal and petting her. Obi-Wan got up, when to the kitchen and took out a packet from the cupboard under the sink. He passed the girl with the cat in her lap, went on the balcony and poured the food into a green plastic bowl. The cat run next to him and started eating. He petted her for a bit and stoop up.
“Okay then. I think it’s time you get ready for Uni and I am going to make us breakfast and then I am going talk to Anakin.”
“Okay, boss. Oh, there is something else I want to talk to you about.’
“Sure. What is it?”
“Um, I have actually started to look into some places where I can move to live. As you know I received some loan and grants before I entered Uni so I have some money saved and can live for a while on those. But I was wondering if you could still help me with checking out when I pick a place if it’s legit or not. You have some experience so I think it would help me greatly.”
“Yeah, yeah. No problem.”
“Okay, I have more to tell you but I am going to shower first.”
The ginger laughed to himself and returned his attention to the breakfast. He hasn’t cooked for himself in a while. Running on coffee and cereal lately hasn’t been that great on his health but work kept him from making healthy choices. Okay, he kept himself from making healthy choices. A soft meow interrupted his inner monologue and his attention shifted towards the small creature which was halfway inside halfway out. 
“Oh, water. I forgot. What an idiot.” 
He filled an empty jar with water and went outside to put it into another plastic bowl but this one was blue. 
“Here, little one. Enjoy.”
The man smiled slightly and petted the cat softly again, trying not to disturb it, then he returned inside and went to finish making the food. While the man was occupied with his furry friend the shower noise had stopped and minutes after that the young togruta came out surrounded by fog.
“You should be thankful I don’t ask you for money for the electric bill. Half of it it’s yours. Doesn’t your skin melt off or something. “
“No, Mr Freeze who would probably shower in ice cube bath. I don’t have your endurance. “
“I could say the same to you.” Obi-Wan sent his most mature response - sticking his tongue out which was returned by Ahsoka with twice the emotion. 
“What else are you going to tell me.”
The togruta got closer to the kitchen counter and started making coffee for both of them
“Oh. I asked Cody if he can help me with a job in like a month or two. And he said that he won’t be needing any additional staff for the near future but he said he can speak with some friends of his that are in the business and will let me know if something comes up. ”
“That’s great. I am so glad for you.” Obi-Wan set everything on the table, while Ahsoka put some background music to enjoy while they were eating.

Hi! For the ask meme: 6, 10, 11, 16, 23, 41, 47, 50, 60, 71, 73, 91. Don't worry if this is too much, just cherry pick if you don't wanna answer all of them.
Hey! Thank you for sending me stuff, I might trim a few questions if the answers are boring, lol.
6. What’s your lucky number?
I don’t know about “lucky” but my favourite number is 3! It does have kind of a magical feeling about it what with it’s use in fairy tales & witchcraft stuff, plus I really like the whole rule of three thing in writing.
11. How many pairs of shoes do you own?
I actually checked my closet for this and it turns out i have... 12? Which feels like a lot, I should probably get rid of some. I did make a list just for my own reference as I was counting, for anyone curious lol:
dickies steel-toed working boots, they’re not rly very fashionable but they’re comfy and i walk a lot so most cute shoes i buy wear out super quickly, they’re the real MVPs in that they havent fallen apart yet
some very cute dark red boots I wear in fall
KOI moon boots, tbh the sole has cracked on one of them and they probably need throwing away but I keep thinking maybe I can fix em up with some glue or something lol
KOI mary janes
T.U.K. creepers (my favourite shoes i own)
cheap flip flops
knockoff crocs someone bought me as a joke, i like them actually
basic oxfords in navy blue, these are my “job interview” shoes lol
some funkier oxfords with a chunky heel, party shoes
snow boots (not sure why i own these, we don’t get enough snow here to justify it)
running shoes
some very cheap gold wing shoes, honestly i can’t pull them off and they don’t even match my aesthetic but i love them
16. Favorite movie?
I have quite a lot!! But my favourites are probably Thelma & Louise, Kill Bill & Run Lola Run. Also Shrek & The Hunchback of Notre Damme.
41. Are you a good liar?
No, not at all lol! I’m the type of person who admits they’re lying before I can even finish whatever the lie was supossed to be, lol
47. What is your most expensive piece of clothing?
Probably my big-ass winter coat, it’s kinda velvet-y with a big hood and a high-fantasy-ish vibe. It’s not super expensive but I mostly never buy things over like £50 so for me this was a splurge - when it gets cold in winter I wear it almost every day though so it was super worth it.
60. Do you talk to yourself?
Yes, a lot! It helps me think. I used to be self concious about this habit but i dont give a fuck these days lol
73. Do you correct people when they make mistakes?
I do always want to lol, I try to bite my tongue in most situations though since nobody likes unsolicited critique lmao. Luckily I’m a QA tester so calling people on their mistakes is my actual job, gets it out of my system
91. Do you like your own name?
I like my first name a lot (Katrina!) but I’m not very fond of my surname, haha. I won’t post it for privacy reasons ofc

@huldufolk-hjarn
June 21, 2020
Olaf [deleted]: hi sindri u can ignore this since ur working but um hi!!
Olaf [deleted]: HI sindri do you have some time to talk about someth
Olaf [deleted]: HI sindri so i was googling

Olaf [deleted]: wow ive forgotten how to talk to u like a normal person loooosflkj
Olaf: how's pixie's! is your shift going well? :)
Sindri: it's kinda slow right now
Sindri: im sitting here on a stool drying glasses lol
Sindri: so fun
Sindri: how's your day
Olaf: ah i know you're kidding but i love drying glasses
Olaf: i like the sound the glasses make, the little rubby sound? from the towel
Olaf: squeaky clean!
Sindri: like the squeak
Olaf: yes exactly
Olaf: and then arranging them in rows
Sindri: i had one that wasn't squeaky i should wash it again
Olaf: you should, customers deserve squeaky clean glasses
Sindri: yeah they do
Sindri: i was thinking about making myself one of those sodas we discovered last time
Sindri: like the regular soda water with the grenadine?
Olaf: ooooh
Olaf: yeah thats delicious
Sindri: i think peri might be starting to wonder where all her grenadine is going haha
Olaf: oh well dont have too much now
Sindri: i've had like three
Olaf: hmm that seems like enough
Olaf: though maybe we should get a soda water maker
Olaf: then we could make our own, they sell those you know
Olaf: we can order it online
Olaf: we can soda-fy any drink then, i think it'd be great for parties
Sindri: really?
Sindri: i thought it was a thing only bars had and like also places that make soda obviously
Olaf: no, you can get one for your home! and an espresso machine
Olaf: we should get an espresso machine too
Sindri: we should because then we wouldn't have to spend so much money on coffee
Olaf: well we would still have to buy the coffee for the machine but probably cheaper in the long run!
Olaf: really there are a lot of fun kitchen appliances we could get
Olaf: a waffle maker for example
Olaf: oh i saw a donut pan that was very cool
Olaf: there's a handheld smoothie maker but i think its better to just use the blender so you can make more smoothie
Sindri: i watched a video that showed how many soups you can make when you have a food processor which i think is just a bigger fancier blender but i like soups
Olaf: i saw a special kind of cutting device that slices an apple though into six equal pieces!
Sindri: i think my favorite food is soup
Olaf: soup is very good
Olaf: soups and stews
Sindri: yeah they remind me of home
Sindri: but waffles are good too
Sindri: if we made waffles we could decorate them
Olaf: yes! i love waffles because each hole can have something different
Olaf: like a little presennt
Olaf: likea  jellybean, or a peanut
Sindri: you want to put jellybeans on your waffles?
Olaf: well that was just an example but im sure it would taste good
Olaf: i like jellybeans and i like waffles
Sindri: jellybeans get stuck in my teeth
Olaf: sindri i also like you as a friend
Olaf: my best friend
Sindri: i like you as a friend too
Sindri: yeah you're my best friend
Sindri: are you okay?
Olaf: yes
Olaf: i was just doing some googling
Olaf: Google as you know is very useful. It answers almost every single question ive ever had since moving here
Sindri: yeah i love google
Olaf: yeah
Olaf [deleted]: i don't know if ive ever really told you but i think i worry about a lot of things. i dont like talking about it because i dont want everyone to worry about /me/ because then id just worry more about how im worrying everyone else but wow this is nonsense ANYWAY i have been really worried about...myself and feeling like something is wrong with me because
Olaf: i dont know if i ever told you this but for a long time, ive sort of felt something was wrong with me. it started when we began to date, but not because of anything you did, i think that was just the first time i realized i really wasn't like everyone else. at least i didnt feel the way everyone wanted me to feel or expected me to feel. and it was really awful, i just thought i was a big fake the whole time, like a liar almost, and then of course we broke up because i was so bad at it and everything but i still felt that awful feeling anyway.  and i just didnt know why and its never gone away ��so i googled it today and googled and googled and i think i found the thing that explains me better than anything else and i think its important that i tell you what that is and im really nervous!!!!!!! look an emoji  🎈
Sindri [deleted]: we didn't break up because you were bad at anything
Sindri: there are a lot of things i want to say but im going to wait until you say your thing
Sindri: also i love emojis :)
Sindri: 🦆
Olaf: right, they're very comforting 🐭
Sindri: oh and please don't be nervous
Sindri: you can tell me anything
Olaf: im very nervous
Olaf: im even texting u and i know thsi should be an in person conversation ahha
Sindri: i think sometimes texting can make things easier to say
Sindri: it isn't like you're avoiding an in person conversation either because we live together lol
Sindri: im sure we will also talk about whatever it is in person
Olaf: right yes probably
Olaf: okay!
Olaf: so um yeah! humans have a lot of words for things and i think the word that fits me best is aromantic....ta-da!!  🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉
Olaf: it means i dont experience romantic attraction. because i never have, never, i dont' know why and i dont like dating like, i dont want to be anyone's boyfriend it makes me feel gross
Olaf: but i do want to be your best friend
Olaf: i was talking to finn and i said something that felt true but also kind of like i was contradicting myself? i dont know, feelings are very confusing but basically i said that you're my right person
Olaf: and i think thats still true even tho i dont want to date you and i dont mean that like i am in love with you or anything because im not and egjaldkf that feels mean to say but im trying to say that i really love you sindri and i never want to date you but you are more special to me than my other friends
Olaf: see it sounds like im contradicting myself
Olaf: also like im rejecting u when u didnt even ask me out so!!! sorry oh frosty
Sindri: i love you too olaf
Sindri: you'll always be my best friend
Sindri: always no matter what
Sindri: you're my right person too and i think i kind of get it
Sindri: not completely but i want to learn and i will look up that word but i don't think you're mean or fake or anything like that
Olaf: are you sure because i just read over those texts and it felt mean
Sindri: i don't feel insulted or rejected really
Olaf: I just want you to know it isnt you
Olaf: i used to think i was just rejecting you or something but the idea of dating anyone really is gross for me. like i dont want to ever stop being your roommate though iknow we probably will stop eventually
Sindri: im kind of sad you felt like a fake and a liar though
Sindri: why would we stop
Sindri: i don't want to stop being your roommate ever either
Olaf: well if you ever enter into a promise with someone
Olaf: you know, if you fall in love
Olaf: i probably wont be yoru roommate then. which is okay!
Sindri: but you're my right person
Sindri: when we were apart i was really sad a lot because i missed you
Sindri: and now that you're here im happy a lot of the time
Sindri: i don't want to be somewhere you aren't that sounds stupid to me
Olaf: i dont either. though we wouldnt be far or anything i mean if we stay here in swynlake we'd probably still be in the same town. i just dont want you to... um...not move on? I dont know if thats what you're doing idk sorry i feel like im making a lot of assumptions right now
Olaf: i dont want to hold you back if you fall in love with someone else
Olaf: thats all
Sindri: can i ask u a question
Olaf: yes
Sindri: is it okay if im a little bit in love with you? i mean..i'm not saying i want to date you or be your boyfriend because i don't want to do anything you don't want to do and i want us to be us and honestly im not even sure what being in lvoe is i guess except that i like you most and i like everything we do and that's the way i know how to say that
Sindri: i just say that with like
Sindri: zero expectations from it except you just being my friend for as long as you want to be
Sindri: sorry
Sindri: i probably shouldn't have said that
Sindri: i hope it didn't make you feel gross
Olaf: it only makes me upset if i think about somehow letting you down which i think is sort of my problem not your problem, which i realized recently too
Olaf: i just worry about a lot of things sindri
Olaf: i worry more than you might think i worry haha, i just worry that one day you'll decide that being my best friend isnt enough for you
Sindri: i will never decide that
Sindri: i love you as a person way more than i am "in love" with you which the more i think about it is a stupid concept anyway like what does it even mean
Sindri: when i say it it just means you are my favorite person
Olaf: i mean i mean that too but im not in love with you
Olaf: i dont know bc i dont feel it
Olaf: so maybe what you feel is or isnt love...i dunno sometimes i think romance is a game people play ahha i dunno
Sindri: i don't know how people date people they don't really know
Olaf: well i dont get what makes it a date
Sindri: ....wow
Sindri: me either
Olaf: because i could go out with lots of strangers and get to know them but i wouldnt call it dates id just call it...uh...getting to know a new friend haha
Olaf: like you went on dates with nemo when you moved here if u think about it
Olaf: except you didnt
Olaf: i dont know
Sindri: yeah
Olaf: i guess if people want to kiss at the end
Sindri: yeah maybe
Olaf: i just dont want you to lie to me
Olaf: like i did sort of lie to you for a little sindri and i am so sorry i did but i dont want to lie anymore so if you say that you're in love thats okay it is
Sindri: yeah i think maybe being honest about feelings is a really good idea for us
Sindri: because i don't want you to feel uncomfortable ever
Olaf: and i really dont want to hurt you
Sindri: i don't think you will but i will let you know if it ever happens
Sindri: im being really honest when i tell you that i only want what you want i will never feel like i'm missing out as long as you are my best friend okay
Sindri: i don't want dates and a boyfriend i don't feel like im missing out on that stuff
Sindri: i mean i guess i could theoretically want it but i don't miss it
Sindri: i feel complete without it
Olaf: okay. im gonna work really hard to believe that
Olaf: it might take me some time but thats because i think i still dont feel uh... enough i guess
Olaf: but we promised we wouldnt lie to each other so if you tell me thast what you want i believe you
Sindri: also i know it's not my place to say but you are enough i promise you are so great and anyone who knows you is lucky to have you in their lives. i'm so lucky you are my best friend olaf.
Olaf: well i dunno why you wouldnt think its your place to say as my best friend you should compliment me thank you  x3
Olaf: but i know you mean that
Olaf: and im lucky too
Sindri: thank you for telling me all this stuff
Olaf: thank you for listening
Olaf: and not hating me haha
Sindri: lol peri might hate me because i took a long break oops
Sindri: but i'll see you in a couple hours okay?
Sindri: i'm going to give you the best hug ever!
Sindri: it'll be almost like an olaf hug
Sindri: maybe
Olaf: oh oops
Sindri: idk i'll try
Olaf: haha im sure it will be even better than an olaf hug
Olaf: it will be a sindri hug ^.^
Sindri: :)
Olaf: we can maybe talk more when you come home too, if you want
Sindri: okay
Sindri: i think i'm going to look stuff up too when i'm drying glasses
Sindri: just so im prepared
Olaf: yeah! you can ask me questions
Olaf: though im still learning too haha
 June 22, 2020 
Olaf: hi sindri, i found more words!
Sindri: haha yeah?
Olaf: yeah xPPP
Olaf: there are lots of fun ones humans have a great sense of humour
Olaf: like wtfromantic ahha that made me laugh
Sindri: what does that mean
Olaf: WELL
Olaf: "a romantic orientation in the aromantic spectrum that describes people who cannot differentiate platonic from romantic attraction, cannot define romantic attraction and therefore aren't sure if they experience it"
Olaf: im glad there's a word for it and that word isnt stupid haha
Sindri: oh hey i like that one
Sindri: i think that one makes a lot of sense
Sindri: i've been thinking about like
Sindri: the line or whatever and it feels really arbitrary to me
Sindri: like what makes something a date? or not a date? you know
Olaf: exactly!!!!
Olaf: tho ive never felt any um, i dunno anything different for anyone so
Sindri: oh like where you want to "date" them
Olaf: right or like
Olaf: butterflies
Olaf: people talk about butterflies and i never get them for other people. i get flutters for other things
Olaf: like when im excited for an event you know?
Sindri: yeah
Sindri: i've been looking at stuff too
Olaf: oh have u also found words i have a list of words here but you can go next if you want
Sindri: no i want to know what your words are first
Olaf: well this next one is fun, it's squish
Olaf: guess what that means
Sindri: is it like a crush
Sindri: it sounds nicer than a crush lol
Olaf: yeah!
Olaf: its wanting to be friends with someone i guess, like, really badly
Olaf: i actually dont think ive had squishes either haha
Olaf: i mean! i want to be lots of people's friends but
Sindri: oh that's cool
Sindri: wow i love my new words so far
Sindri: squish is just a really cute one
Olaf: yeah i think its a very cute word x3
Olaf: There's also aesthetic attraction! which just means liking how someone looks, which is different than romantic or sexual attraction
Sindri: i found that one too
Sindri: i've been trying to figure myself out actually
Sindri: and that one was something i think i relate to a lot
Olaf: oooh wow im glad these words are helping you too
Olaf: yes i think i definitely understand aesthetic attraction.
Olaf: i actually think i might be asexual too? which is pretty crazy because i like sex but apparently thats not mutually exclusive!
Olaf: people shoudl really teach a class on this stuff
Sindri: it was also weird because it made me realize that when people say they are attracted to other people it means they actually want to have sex with them
Sindri: a lot of the time
Olaf: i KNOW
Sindri: that's CRAZY
Olaf: i dont not want to have sex with people? i dont know, i just dont think about it
Olaf: but if i think someone is pretty my first thought isnt oh lets have sex
Sindri: i never mean that when i say someone is attractive like i never look at a person and like want them to YES
Sindri: wow
Olaf: wow frosty!
Olaf: we have that in common haha
Sindri: i'll tell you one of my words
Olaf: yes! 
Sindri: demisexual
Olaf: oh i saw that one!
Sindri: it's where you only feel sexual attraction to someone you have an emotional connection to already
Sindri: i think that's me
Olaf: ah that sounds like you
Olaf: what a beautiful sindri word
Sindri: thank you
Olaf: i think i read another word for us
Olaf: did you come across queerplatonic?
Sindri: no
Olaf: oh!
Olaf: its a good one haha
Olaf: i mean i think so
Olaf: its kind of hard to describe exactly im still reading about it but uhhhh okay maybe i'll just link you
Olaf: https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Queerplatonic_Relationship
Olaf:it kind of sounds like some promises, you know? though most promises are romantic
Sindri: oh hey
Sindri: wow this really does seem like an us word
Olaf: yeah doesnt it!
Olaf: like how everyone thought we had to be more than friends
Sindri: yeah which is dumb
Sindri: i really like this one
Sindri: this one makes me feel like
Sindri: idk if feels right
Olaf: yeah i dont feel as stupid anymore haha
Olaf: if other people are like us, i mean
Olaf: maybe not exactly like us
Sindri: well it even says there are lots of ways they can be
Sindri: which is cool
Sindri: like if it makes sense to the people in the relationship that's how it is it's about being open and being comfortable
Olaf: yeah each one has different rules apparently
Sindri: i also think it's kind of silly that like friendships are apparently "not as intense" as romantic relationships which i guess is why this exists right
Olaf: yeah i think so
Olaf: though its confusing still because some articles say its asexual and other ones say that there can be sex
Olaf: but that goes back to teh different rules thing
Olaf: i think each one must be like a snowflake
Sindri: yeah i think it is about what the people in them want
Sindri: are we
Sindri: or like
Sindri: i don't know i think maybe if i wanted to define our relationship i might want to use that word
Sindri: which is something we would totally have to talk about
Olaf: i think id like that
Olaf: i just have always wanted to be your best friend forever which sounds so silly and childish but i dunno
Olaf: maybe we dont need all the words for it but maybe we do?
Olaf: or not!
Olaf: haha
Sindri: i want to be your best friend forever too olaf
Sindri: like i mean it
Sindri: i don't ever want to stop being friends with you and when i think about what i want my life to be like you are always in it
Sindri: and maybe having a word would make that easier because we wouldn't feel like we are doing things wrong?
Sindri: even though there isn't a right way
Sindri: but just in terms of other people and maybe feeling pressured to be different? i dont' know
Olaf: i think it would make me feel better about not leading you on or disappointing you and i know you say i dont do those things but it makes me nervous
Sindri: yeah and i would feel better about feeling like i'm accidentally pressuring you
Olaf: yeah
Olaf: we should definitely talk about it
Olaf: there are actually checklists and sheets and stuff hehe its kind of cute
Sindri: aww really?
Olaf: yeah :3
Sindri: when do you want to talk about it
Sindri: do you want to like plan a time
Olaf: oh i was just going to do it whenever you wanted to?
Olaf: if you want we can plan a time
Sindri: i think i would like to talk about it when i see you next so probably tonight haha
Sindri: it feels really good to maybe have a word
Olaf: oh okay! I can print out these worksheets if you want
Olaf: i'll make snacks hehe
Sindri: okay lol i can bring home some of that soup from remys too because we can't just eat SNACKS
Olaf: i do like that soup!
Sindri: good we have a plan then!

Request: Rhys and reader reunite years after break up
Note: This is just part one, I really enjoyed writing this btw.
Look what your doing to me - BANKS, Francis and the Lights
Rhys Strongfork/Reader
Part |
After Helios fell from the sky, you and other refugee Hyperion employees were left on Pandora to become a community, bandits, or end up being some wild creatures meal. You didn't know Rhys until you found out he was the cause for Helios' fall and some no name that managed and help plan to fight a vault guardian and collect the treasures it protected. Easily, you were impressed and with confidence, you were able to talk to him. He spoke about rebuilding the Atlas brand, helping Hyperion refugees, and get the hell off Pandora, that was enough for you.
While Rhys rebuilt Atlas, you took the time to learn to use various weaponry, hunt the ruthless bandits and creatures of Pandora, and despite losing some of its citizens, the Hyperion refugee camp was improving. And with busy schedules and months passing, you and the business man got to spend what quiet moments you could with each other. "Y'know..." you begin, strolling to sit by Rhys one night as he cautiously poked a low fire. "All the big talk of Atlas and all, I hadn't thought a pair of business slacks would be able to build a community like this."
"Thanks, you know, I didnt think even Hyperion workers would last this long, usually caring about the dust on their snake skin shoes or worried about the lack of gel in their hair. But its good." You laughed at him, he was a complete dork. "What?" he scowls at you, small smile on his face. "What's funny?"
"Usually Hyperion are big talkers with lack of strategy and more and of fucking over their friends." You air quote 'friends.'
"Did you doubt me?"
"I did, ambition is nice until the person doesnt know what they're doing."
"I- haha, know everything, I know what I'm doing. Everything...that I'm...doing, I mean." You snicker at him.
"There's the Hyperion cockiness."
"Seriously, Hyperion was the worst,"
"Absolutely."
"But they," he referred to the refugees. "Are better than they let on and has great potential that Hyperion didnt let them explore and show. Atlas is gonna be bigger than that." You nod, yeah, he was much cuter than you initially thought.
"Deep."
"Yeah." he chuckles.
"You're exactly what they need, a chance is all anyone ask... don't let that get to your head."
"Pfft...it's not like I'm Jack...or...whatever. "
"You've got the handsome bit down."
"Haha, yeah..." he smiles. "Oh!" he blinks, his smile becoming shy in realization. "And you've got the killing skills and attractiveness and good looking and I dont...know how to flirt, wow, is it, um... Yeah. I'll stop talking."
"Yeah," you peck him on the cheek before standing to leave. "Keep at it, Handsome Rhys."
"Oh, god. Don't call me that."
In time, Rhys had actually done it. He was able to influence sponsors to help the manufacturer, to help get a ship built and was able to blast off Pandora. You accompanied him to various Eden planets, Atlas was gainingtraction and workers, and best of all customers. Rhys was getting more paperwork than he could handle, becoming more busy and eventually sent a request for a vault hunter Zer0 to aid him. He was becoming an influencer himself, working his ass off. The sweet messages he'd send you, the dates the two of you would go on, the rants you two would have had almost seen to vanished. You missed being around him and having chats instead of being told that he had to talk later, which was understandable the first few weeks only for it to be routine and soon ending up with no reply. He spoke highly of you and you were flattered but it soon felt like nothing when you rarely had the chance to see him. You felt years of commiting to him were being thrown away.
You began show up to his office on Promethea. "I have a call to take." "I have to go to a meeting." "Too much work to do."
"Are you even listening to me, Rhys?" you accidentally raised your voice, Zer0, of course, his best bro couldn't even give you two alone time.
"Look, I'm sorry, I really am-"
"But I just don't have time!" You finished for him. "I have to go to the Eos solar system and blah blah blah Greek names of whatever bullshit business deals. You never make time, let alone a echo, Rhys! I know work is important but I have been patient- and for hell sake Zer0 can you please get out?!" Understandably, Zer0 did leave.
Rhys shut down the holograms and placed his echo away. "You dont even make time for me anymore, do you even see what you're doing to me?" You sit yourself in a chair.
"No, I- I know." He walks from behind his desk to be closer to you. He wanted to hug and hold you but it's almost like he didnt know anymore, instead he kneels on the floor. "I'm sorry, I should've realized what I was doing, I'm sorry. I want us to work, I really do."
"I've tried so much, Rhys."
"Yes, I know. And I'm sorry. I love you okay, I'm going to be better and put more effort into us. I promise... I-"
"Rhys..." You knew he meant it, he wasn't a liar. "That's why this is so hard..." You were trying so hard not cry but your voice only became raspy and your face more heated.
"What?" You paused.
"We're done." You simply say before standing, the stood with you, trying to protest but you already had escaped into the elevator.

rereading aftg with my dumbass opinions pt. 2 (tfc chapters 6-10)
pt. 1 | pt. 2 | pt. 3
look guys! its the highly unanticipated continuation of my reread of aftg!
chapter 6 (aka. meet this MESS of a team)
“My mother's family is French." It was a lie that probably had his British mother rolling over in her sandy grave.”
neil really never misses an opportunity to remind readers that he fucking buried his mom on the beach huh?
“A liar who practices occasional honesty. Clever. Keeps people guessing. Very effective. I would know. I do it myself, you see. Come on, then. After you.”
have i mentioned how entertaining high andrew is? because he’s funny as hell
also rereading these are fun because Nora is incredible at foreshadowing just sayin
“Neil automatically reached for his seatbelt, but one of the brothers was sitting on it.”
how neil would be in the back of the cousins’ car if they let him:
Tumblr media
“You?" Neil said. "You can't." Andrew's smile curved wider. "Ohhh, that sounds like a challenge. Mother may I?" "Your mother's dead. I don't think she cares what you do.”
HO HO HOLY SHIT NEIL
“Starting a fight was too out of character for who he portrayed "Neil” to be, though.”
Tumblr media
“Consider this your official invite, you suicidal wretch. I'm bringing you to Columbia with us this Friday.”
awe suicidal wretch... glad they’re starting those pet names early
“I don't drink or dance," Neil said.
Tumblr media
andrew: i kno u can
“Kevin doesn't dance anymore”
anymore? ANYMORE??? release the cursed events that led to him not dancing anymore Nora im begging you
“Are you bleeding anywhere?" Matt asked. "Nowhere vital," Neil said.
gskjgnsak god i stan this little asshole so much
“She said it gently, with the hint of a smile on her face, but Neil still felt the rebuke. It was subtler but somehow deadlier”
have i mentioned how gay i am for renee? because im very gay for renee
“Allison looked ready for a photo shoot with perfect platinum curls, spiked heels, and a skintight dress.”
im also gay for allison ngl
“I can move if you want to sit here," Neil said. "No, this is fine." She smiled, but it had a smug edge to it, probably because Seth was glaring at them like he could kill them with willpower alone. ”
lol remember how neil doesn’t think he’s attractive and yet in 0.1 seconds after meeting him allison is like “yes this idiot is hot enough to piss off the other idiot im dating”
“Personal favorite was when someone told the police we were running a meth lab out of the dorm," Dan said sourly. "Police raids are awesome.”
no offence dan but that’s fucking hilarious omg
that’s kind of like the time my residence floor had to get evacuated bc some kids hotboxed their dorm room
god i love uni
“The death threats were creative, though," Nicky said. "Maybe this time they'll follow through and actually kill one of us. Let's vote. I nominate Seth.”
pfffffttttt i love Nicky omg
also hahahahahah foreshadowing!
“It'll be fine," Andrew said. "I promised, didn't I? Don't you believe me?" It took a while, but at last Kevin visibly relaxed. ”
again this is why i thought they were fucking for like the better part of the first two books
“The dead look Kevin turned on Andrew today was the same look Neil saw in his reflection. When Neil stopped acting, when he stopped worrying about who was watching, when he let go of the lies that kept him alive, that was the only expression he could make.”
it’s fine i didnt need a heart anyways
this kid is 18 hes A BABY
the first time i read this i was 18 too and like jfc i was a BABY at 18 and so i neil
“One of us has to make it, Mom." It wasn't going to be Neil. It was obvious he was too stupid to survive without his mother if he let himself get into messes like this. But maybe Kevin could do it.”
sorry let me just wipe my TEARS off my fucking laptop neil honey what the fuck
“He felt distant as he watched them walk in. Maybe he was already dying, his stupid soul fading from his short body in preparation for a brutal end.”
neil we get it you have depression (me too bitch u aint special)
“Fuck running," Seth said.
now that’s a whole ass mood
“he didn't know how Renee could smile so warmly when she was speaking to Andrew.”
haha bitch just wait
“when he slept, he dreamed of his father waiting for him on the Foxhole Court.”
remember how at the end of the series his father is waiting on the court but neil wins??? god we love good storytelling
this is such a fucking wild chapter
could you imagine? coming back from the summer and your first introduction to this amateur from arizona is this neil josten level of sass? because i’d probably kill him
first years are bad enough but first years who dont care about other people’s opinions? the fucking worst
chapter 7 (aka. neil does NOT have a fun night out)
“It seemed Allison and Seth didn't believe in middle ground: either they were slinging vile insults at each other or they were making out in the locker room regardless of whoever might be around.”
that’s just how the straights are
“It reminded Neil a little of Allison and Seth, except without the desperate sexual undertones.”
i’ll just leave this gem of a line here
“His teammates held so little regard for him he didn't even have the dubious honor of being dead last.”
Tumblr media
neil shading himself is actually hilarious how relatable
“Neil watched him do it, trying to remember the last time someone gave him a gift and coming up blank. That his first one should be from Andrew was unsettling.”
i actually love the fact that andrew bought him clothes so early on like andrew your gay is showing
“Neil debated how much damage the thick heels of his new boots would do against Andrew's face and liked what his mind came up with.”
i thank god everyday that these books are neil’s pov
“Andrew gave Neil another slow once-over and let go. "We're going.”
Tumblr media
^andrew seeing neil w/o contacts (aka. the ‘i can’t think straight’ vine)
“Most of the men wore leather, half the women had corsets, and a good number of both genders were covered in buckles and chains.”
this... is a... gay bar
“Andrew saluted the bouncers on his way by and led the way into the club, bypassing the line entirely.”
i always forget the drinking age in the us is 21 but like this bar really dont care about their liquor license AT ALL lmao
“You think Kevin would risk his future over a night out at the club?" "What future?" Neil asked.”
WOW NEIL WAY TO BE A BITCH
“Neil hadn't seen Aaron get up, but he was waiting behind Neil when Andrew let go. Neil reached for Andrew with lethal intent, but Aaron grabbed the back of his chair and pulled hard enough to topple it over.”
why are the twins literally this gif:
Tumblr media
real talk nicky kissing neil like that is horrible and really reflects poorly on nicky as a character
andrew for this entire chapter:
Tumblr media
chapter 8 (aka. a hitchhiker’s guide to lying about your identity)
“I don't know how your conversation with Andrew went, but it didn't end well. Rumor has it you paid a busboy a hundred bucks to knock you out. Way to cut our night short.”
this is probably my favourite thing neil does in the entire series ngl
“Wymack grabbed his elbow and hauled him inside. He slowed just long enough to slam the door behind Neil. "Are you stupid or just crazy? Do you have any idea what could have happened to you between here and there? What were you thinking?”
Why does Wymack literally sound like my father?
foxes: daddy?
wymack: DO I LOOK LIKE
follow up:
kevin: daddy?
wymack: uh yeah
“I don't know what the beef is between you two, but it ends here and now.”
Wymack @ neil: tell your boyfriend, if he says he’s got beef that your a vegetarian and your not fucking scared of him
“Then correct me." "Give me a reason." "Besides the obvious?" Andrew said. "If I can't get an answer from you, I'll get it wherever I can.”
andrew:
Tumblr media
“I'm—" Neil didn't want to say it, but the word was already there, broken and pathetic between them, "—nothing. I'll always have and be nothing.”
Tumblr media
“He wondered for a moment if Andrew could handle the entire truth so calmly, but that was too dangerous and stupid to consider.”
“Hope was a dangerous, disquieting thing, but he thought perhaps he liked it.”
this is such a good fucking line like i am shooketh
chapter 9 (aka. neil is, like, really horny for exy)
“Are you stupid?" Seth asked. "Yeah," Neil said.”
what a fuckin MOOD
“Neil had almost forgotten why he liked Exy so much. He did his best at practices but these days he worked mostly to keep his teammates off his back. As Neil surveyed Kevin's damage, he finally felt inspired again. On its heels was a hungry, desperate rush.”
Tumblr media
“Seth made as if to throw his beer at Neil. "His life is not more important than mine just because he's more talented.”
sometimes i really wish seth was actually given a chance to have some character development
“ "Maybe you're not as stupid as I thought." "Maybe I am," Neil said”
another big fucking MOOD
chapter 10 (aka. shocking: university is hard :/ )
“It's fun telling Kevin no," Andrew said with a wicked grin.”
why is andrew like this omg
betsy probably was like just looking for a chill job and was like “oh cool uni students? ill have to deal with like a lot of anxiety, sexual tension, depression and like confusion about the future, not to bad” but NOPE welcome to the fucking MAFIA WARS
“That wasn't so bad, was it? Andrew was convinced it would be a disaster. He put money on you hating Betsy." "Did you bet against him?" "Yes," Renee said. "It was a private bet between the two of us.”
“I hope you didn't lose much," Neil said.”
god why is he such an asshole at every opportunity i love him
“I can take care of myself," Neil said. "Watch me beam with pride.”
wymack is the best father in the world and you cant convince me otherwise
“There was one for every fall team with schedules printed on each. Neil kept the Exy one, tossed the rest into the trash, and buried his magnet deep in his pocket where he didn't have to look at the dates.”
neil “i only care about exy” josten strikes again with his great school spirit
“Palmetto State was facing Edgar Allan on Friday, October 13th”
that’s such a cliche and i love it
“He detoured around students toward one of Palmetto State's three dining halls. Two were for the general student body. The third was for athletes only”
lmao my school literally has one dining hall and it couldnt give less of a fuck what type of student they’re selling food too as long as they’ll pay $15 for chicken fingers
what kind of money does palmetto state fuckin have
like i get us tuition is a lot but jesus so’s mine and my school couldn’t be less fucked
“It was only the first day of school and he already had three assignments: a short paper, a fifty-page chapter to read, and a page of questions about said chapter. Neil debated for a minute as to which one sounded least painful. Five minutes later he was still uninspired, so he put his head down on his desk.”
1. MOOD
2. first years are so cute thinking that’s a lot of assignments i remember in first year being like “i have to read 40 pages thats so unfair :(” and now i’m like “ah sick only 200 pgs of readings this week? im gonna have so much free time!”
upper year history sucks ngl
“I'm fine," Neil said.”
neil knows exactly two (2) words and those are it
“You say that an awful lot," Matt said. "I'm starting to think you don't know what it means.”
Tumblr media
overall thoughts:
the plot is pickinnnng upppp
i kind of forget how much world building happens in the first book but like its good
also i love neil literally hating everyone its so funny bc like bby these going to be your best friends just wait
anyways that’s all for now
part 3 will be the rest of tfc and then we’ll move onto trk if you guys still want more of this? let me know
love u all bye

alright im about to watch 5.03 of merlin for the 2nd time ever
because if i dont do it now i may NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE
but first i wanna get out of the way that i thought merlin convincing arthur to keep the ban on magic in 5.05 because he was trying to thwart ~*~destiny~*~ or whatever is the laziest writing ever, it’s unsatisfying for the audience, it renders the rest of the last season utterly pointless, it’s unfair to merlin and arthur, and the tonal shift of the show from farting trolls in season 2 to full greek tragedy in season 5 was completely unwarranted and i feel TRICKED as a human person because i expected the end to be bittersweet and make me sad, not table-flipping angry, and i do not at all have high hopes for the finale
but i can ignore something having a “bad last five minutes” i did it for life is strange and final fantasy 13-2 i will do it for merlin but honestly 
speaking on 5.03, after it was over the first time i was like “i can never write my fanfic now because nothing i ever do will be as good as that” but i’m really relieved in that way that that was apparently the last good episode of merlin because now i can continue my work in peace and maybe hopefully even actually finish it
okay commence the liveblog:
love that arthur and merlin are down to just jump off their horses whenever random women start screaming in the distance. season 5 could have been so good, they’re so much more grown up and in sync with one another, i absolutely LOVE their #vibe
it was interesting to me also that arthur DEMANDED a fair trial for this woman despite her being accused of sorcery. god, he was SO CLOSE?? that hatred of magic just can’t really take root in him especially with uther gone...arthur may be an asshole in the early seasons, and he may be quick to anger and quick to lash out in that anger, but it’s just not in him to be cruel, especially needlessly
EVEN THIS LADY IS LIKE “u showed kindness and compassion” arthur is a Good Boy deep down he is he IS he didn’t care a bit about that horn she gave him but still politely said it was beautiful
although lmao the way his face changed when she said it was magic...that’s the STUFF
lowkey losing it at athony head in the credits. i was looking to see if he’d be in the s5 ones since he’s dead and didn’t see him in 5.01 or 5.02 so when i DID see him in 5.03 i was like haha no way did they pay to put him in here i guess i just missed him the first couple of times BUT I WAS WRONG
like, in buffy, they spend an entire episode trying to decide whether or not to necromance their mom or whatever and she doesnt actually APPEAR IN THE EP they never SEE her i thought this would be an episode ABOUT uther i didn’t think uther would be IN it
love that from the get-go arthur’s face screams “i am thinking about making a terrible mistake” and merlin’s face is like “he is thinking about making a terrible mistake”
i’m quite proud of merlin in s5 actually. bad writing aside he uses multiple braincells many times per episode. it’s a vast improvement. same energy as clary from shadowhunters right down to getting shafted in his final season
ive said it before and ill say it again gwen looks SOOO GOOOOD as queen
if this is the anniversary of uther’s death then (if you go by 1 season = 1 year) arthur just turned 30...it’s been nine years and change since merlin met him, and by the end of season 5 it will have been an entire decade
in an otherwise increddibly heavy episode arthur panicking and throwing all the apples out of the bowl so he could cover the horn with it is absolutely priceless. season 5 if nothing else has really hammered home for me what a TERRIBLE liar arthur is - merlin got good at it fast out of necessity but arthur can’t hold a poker face to save his LIFE. “leave it.” “why??” “because i’m telling you to and i’m the king of camelot” buddy......
we were ROBBED. if there had ever been a day where arthur came to accept merlin’s magic but still had to help merlin hide it there could have been an entire episode of arthur nearly blowing merlin’s cover because he’s a nervous nelly and at the end he goes “i cant believe you have had to do this 24/7 for YEARS without a single friend to help you” and merlin goes “well now i have you” anyway.
i love also that repeatedly when arthur goes to do something scary by himself he also brings merlin. they LITERALLY are two halves of a whole
“you’re threatening me with a spoon??” i can’t tell you about the unfortunate fanfics i have seen involving The Spoon. i shall also not mention the ones involving The Glove. we will not speak of it
I CANNOT BELIEVE STONEHENGE IS IIN MERLIN. i got so agitated i did not pay one bit of attention to the conversation following its reveal and me and cathy and had to rewind so i could listen properly
my hate-on for stonehenge goes thusly: stonehenge apocalypse, starring misha collins, is @callowyn‘s favorite movie. i have seen it 45 times. i hate it nearly as much as she loves it. it’s an age-old battle
merlin is so intense when he looks for signs in arthur that he DOESN’T totally hate magic...arthur using magic to see his dad again is one of those signs. he’s willing to turn to it in desperation - maybe he’d be willing in less desperate times too
“my father was taken from me before his time” i mean...he was practically in a coma. so like. he wasn’t
love that when arthur mentions merlins dad ONCE he immediately looks like he’s about to cry. mood. i also want to cry every time i think about merlins dad
up until the moment i laid eyes on uther i was SURE they werent actually gonna do it. i came into this thinking it was a FLASHBACK EP
for the record (and believe me i NEVER thought i’d say this) even though i waited and waited for his demise and cheered when he was gona for good...i really missed uther in season 4. at least with uther you know what you’re getting. agravaine (his replacement as “evil guy who keeps us from being able to solve our problems too easily”) was a slimy cowardly CREEP. and in season 5 i WISH things were as simple as “work around uther’s pigheaded unreasonableness”
for a hot second i really thought uther and arthur would have a nice conversation where they reconciled or said something heartwarming. i was worried about an uther redemption arc - this guy is responsible for the genocide of magic users, he doesn’t deserve redemption - but this show said NOT TODAY and they said it QUICK
WE
ARE
SO
BLESSED
i have A LOT of issues with season 5 but JESUS FUCKING CHRIST THIS WAS DADDY ISSUES 2.0 BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD
repressed trauma returns: harder better faster stronger!! that’s the STUFF
was i not just speaking the other day on my fanfic ask meme about how i love emotionally intense stuff? this is IT babey
uther’s such a bad father! he’s with his only child again for the last time in ever and all he does is tear him a new one! this is why arthur’s such a fucked-up human being (morgana too) 
i’m THRILLED we got to revisit this. his eyes get bigger and bigger and he starts fucking stammering and by the time uther’s done calling him weak and a failure he looks ready to CRY. i was HOLLERING. i still couldnt believe uther was even HERE and not only is he HERE he’s a WRECKING BALL
“this CAN’T be the last time i’ll ever see you” oh buddy you’re gonna wish it was
and he looks back, as he leaves. of COURSE he does. just like lot’s wife. so it goes.
you know how at the end of every supernatural episode sam and dean debrief and talk about their feelings in the car? for merlin and arthur it’s almost always done around a campfire at night - sometimes in arthur’s chambers or other places, but usually out here in the wilderness where it’s just the two of them. i’m...really going to miss it, when it’s gone.
“my father doesn’t approve of the way i’ve chosen to rule his kingdom” “you mean YOUR kingdom”
you know i don’t think i really got...like, fundamentally, on a deep level...that merlin fucking HATES uther
i’ve seen him save uther’s miserable life so many fucking times that i thought for merlin it was kind of the way it was with gwen - he feels nothing for him, but he looks after him for arthur’s sake (or as i came to understand later because he’s professor x about the whole thing)
but the way his expression got SO UGLY when arthur revealed that uther just shit-talked him the entire time...holy fuck
between that & some other stuff that happens later it really paints a clearer picture of like...uther’s dead so merlin doesn't have to hold back anymore and he FUCKING HATES HIM?? like obviously he SHOULD bu i just never SAW it before this. merlin LOATHES him. it’s INCREDIBLE to witness when he bore it so silently for so long. maybe even merlin didn’t realize just how much he hated him until now
and not to get too real here but if youve ever been friends with someone who had an abusive/toxic parent or was in an abusive/toxic relationship and you watch them feeling like shit after and they start making excuses for that asshole like “oh yeah he’s right about x” and you just want to find this horrible person and THROTTLE THEM that emotion is like ALL OVER merlin’s face rn. i didn’t actually seriously "”ship”” merlin and arthur until late season 4/early season 5 (i didnt like dislike it i just wasnt actively bothered by a lack of it) and what changed was this vibe. merlin wants to kill uther all over again just because he made arthur feel this way. he’s so fuckijng PROTECTIVE
and he still almost manages to drag a smile out of him via roasting, god bless these 2
ok so i didnt believe this show would actually DO THAT re: putting uther himself in this ep but i was doubly shocked by the fact that he HITCHED A RIDE AND GOT OUT
me shrieking during this entire poltergeist sequence: OH MY GOD OH MY GOD IT’S REALLY HIM?? HOLY FUCK HE IS LITERALLY HAUNTING ARTHUR I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY’RE DOING THIS I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY’RE GIVING US THIS etc etc etc
actually most of that was probably muffled nonsense because i was yelling with both hands over my mouth
percival’s the realest motherfucker on this whole show. dude survives a murder attempt in which he got an AXE lobbed at him by the fucking GHOST of a power-mad genocidal king and he’s like: yeah idk i guess it fell
there was thunder in the bg for this WHOLE ep and i’m Big into it
absolutely CACKLING at the bit where merlin has to ask arthur if he looked back at uther’s spirit. it’s one of those nice big heavy questions - so heavy, in fact, that arthur can’t answer, can’t even LOOK at merlin, either because he’s ashamed or because he’s bugging out or both. you thought this shit was over? it’s never over! daddy issues are a lifelong ride, pal! arthur’s just get to haunt him literally this time. god it’s so fucking good
can i just say? merlin reads that damning silence reeeal well. and it’s a big, heavy thing to know about arthur - but then again he knows all the big heavy things about arthur
the score for this episode is really good too...very suspenseful and good, adds a lot to the atmosphere, keeps it from getting too slow
there’s a hint of merlin’s absolute HATRED of uther in this conversation again - the way his face tightens when he says “uther would do anything to protect his legacy and that makes him dangerous, who knows what he’s capable of now”
and arthur dismisses him because he can’t hear this but merlin almost refuses to leave - and when he DOES leave, he doesn’t take his eyes off arthur for one fucking second. he stares him down all the way out of the room. i don’t think it’s because he’s angry with arthur, per se - he’s angry with uther, and he knows uther in a way arthur never can or will, as someone ruthless who will kill without warning or remorse. he’s afraid of uther and he’s trying to get arthur to be afraid of uther too before it’s too late and LSDKFJGHSLDFJH
if you’re thinking “thats a lot to interpret from one look” yes it is but i’m right. IT’S A BIG, HEAVY LOOK. NICE AND LOADED. love unpacking all of that
i cant believe this dude tried to KILL GWEN like he really is coming after everything that makes arthur happy. im so glad it was merlin that saved her. i really do think merlin is her best friend
multiple times in this serious arthur fidgets when he’s nervous or thinking, usually with his hands near his mouth. i am endeared to him. my poor boy
“i always knew my father could be cruel but why would he do this to gwen when he knows i love her” BECAUSE HE’S CRUEL
merlin knows. merlin knows his cruelty much better than arthur. boy does he know. i’m dying. it’s fine
love that at this part of the ep we slide seamlessly into the “merlin and arthur are both scared shitless” section which was truly one of my favorite things about the s4 opener. they’re both so fucking jumpy and giving each other shit about being frightened and continuing to be frightened anyway. the DELICIOUS IRONY of arthur finally being scared of uther in the way merlin has been scared of uther for Y E A R S oh my god it’s so GOOD
do also love the entire silent conversation they have when deciding what to do about the door. this is what i mean by their upgraded vibe.l in the early seasons merlin wouldn’t have understood and his lack of understanding would have been played for laughs. now they’re totally in sync
here’s the thing, gaius could have made this magic “able to see uther’s ghost” potion for just arthur and he didn’t. he made it for both of them. everything arthur does merlin does. they’re partners in all things. they’re COMPANIONS. and this is why i finally now Ship It. tragic.
you know this is a kind of weird comparison but late seasons arthur reminds me JUST a bit of gwaine. he complains so much less that he sort of has that same “roll with whatever” vibe to him. pretend to faint so you can steal some guy’s dagger? why not. take this foul potion that may kill us? sure, let’s do it. come what may he’s not really fussed. much more unflappable
until he starts getting spooked again LMFAO 
we do love a good pair of spooked dumbasses. this is charming and entertaining.
leon HAD to know they were lying about poetry. he probably thought they were having.......a tryst,
love also that even in this very dire moment merlin does NOT miss the chance to have some fun at arthur’s expense. that’s true friendship
i got jumpscared three separate times during this ep and one of them was when uther was glaring down merlin and arthur in the hallway after leon left
arthur didn’t jump but he did go hunting after him and to his credit he does not look scared. he looks like a man who is trying to deal with his business and get his shit together
merlin made that FACE again when arthur expressed sadness at hunting his own father because all he ever wanted to DO was make him proud
honestly it’s like since he can’t shit-talk uther he just sings arthur’s praises instead like this here is a guy who is just barely holding his tongue about how fuckin pissed he is. i cant believe it
splitting up was the WORST idea. have they not seen scooby doo??
love that when merlin gets cornered by uther’s ghost and gets scared he yells for arthur and when arthur gets scared because his torch blows out he yells for merlin. you fools, why did you SPLIT UP
uther locks arthur in the room with him, which is already some top tier content, but doubly good? it’s the same room in which arthur nearly ran him through in 2.08. don’t think i didn’t notice. i did notice. i was shrieking into my hands.
seriously this is a pretty calm liveblog but the first time i watched this ep my face was like this the whole time: O O
just kept going “HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK OH MY GOD” over and over. it was greeat
“arthur your fatal flaw is that you put too much trust in other people” do you think arthur, who now has a complex about people betraying him, ever forgot that for one second in his entire life afterward? me neither
speaking of 2.08 arthur dropped some FACTS “your hatred comes from fear” i'm sure they didn’t do it on purpose but #throwbacks
i’m fully experiencing human emotion. “i’m not you, i can’t rule like you did” he’s trying SO HARD to fight his way out of that bullshit
also lmao arthur like “then you’ll have to kill me” and uther like “yeah okay” arthur didn’t KNOW how this man was this could have been SUCH a good awakening
AND NOW IT’S TIME
FOR MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS EPISODE
when i say merlin hates uther. WHEN I SAY MERLIN H A T E S UTHER
HIS LINE HERE. ok. “get away from him, uther. you’ve caused enough harm” he’s furious! he’s GROWLING! 
“you are just a serving boy” “i am much more than that” listen. human words cannot express the emotion that ran through me. when they said “we’re gonna bring back anthony head as uther” i doubted. when they said “he’s gonna be the bad guy and reopen all of arthur’s old wounds” i doubted. when they said “he’s still here LITERALLY haunting arthur who now has to HUNT HIM” I DOUBTED. i didn’t believe they’d do any of it until it was happening on my screen. but ONE LOOK at merlins face made a MOTHERFUCKING BELIEVER out of me. i knew exactly what he was about to do. pretty sure i gasped “NO” in astonishment
AND HE DID THAT
HE👏
DID👏
THAT👏
NOT ONLY. DID I SHRIEK ALOUD. FULL SCREAM. WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME. BUT JUST NOW. WHEN I WATCHED HIM DO IT AGAIN. MORE SCREAMING.
how LONG do you think merlin had ACHED to do that
to show himself to uther for what he was, what he REALLY WAS, someone to be reckoned with instead of someone to be overlookedd, without fear of consequences
i can’t even like
like just imagine the triple rush of 1. satisfaction 2. rage 3. lingering habitual terror
i think at this moment merlin was closer to and more like morgana than he had ever been and maybe ever will be again. because the two of them have so much in common but one thing i didn’t really clock until now is how much they both hate uther
it’s so good. uther is SHOCKED and DISMAYED and this is like merlin’s old fear come back from death too (getting found out by uther) while at the same time being a dream come true (getting to tell uther what he really thinks, who he really is - “i was BORN with it!”) he’s so ANGRY! he is LIVID!)
he’s also really SATISFIED like “even while you were king there was magic at the heart of camelot” GOD how long has he been WAITING for this and not even realized it
and like then uther starts spewing his hateful bullshit and stalking forward with the intent to kill and my guy merlin who should be terrified STANDS HIS MOTHERFUCKING GROUND and says right over him “you’re wrong, you’re wrong” for thirty beautiful seconds merlin really got to be free. i know i will keep comparing things to 2.08 until i die but it’s just like when arthur was almost ready to kill uther in cold blood because for one perfect, brilliant moment he really and truly saw clearly the world as it was. i really love these moments...the strength of their respective convictions is so gratifying
merlin yeeting uther through a door is also gratifying although i have no idea what he hoped to accomplish by following without waking arthur first
i. LOVE. that the camera lingered a little on the spears or whatever after merlin walked by them. nice little foreshadowing moment
THOSE SPEARS GOT AWFULLY CLOSE BUT IM PRETTY SURE UTHER MISSED ON PURPOSE BECAUSE HE WANTED TO TAKE HIS TIME. HIS MISTAKE
okay merlin spent the better part of a lifetime dreading uther’s death sentence and here’s uther stalking down a hallway sword pointed at his chest and certain death is IMMINENT and what does merlin’s face look like?
Tumblr media
arthur comes in with the rescue and INSTANTLY his expression changes to?
Tumblr media
IT’S BETTER IN MOTION BUT HE LOOKS READY TO CRY
my immediate thought: oh jesus what if uther outs him
i knew he wouldnt bc of spoilers but i would bet a benjamin that that was merlin’s first thought too
tbh. i wish he had.
i kind of wonder if merlin doesn’t wish the same thing. like yes being outed like that is terribly violating and he’s terrified of telling arthur obviously or he would have already but at the same time there would be so much relief once it was finally out. no more secret-keeping. no more burden
i mean, if you go back and watch it, dude’s straight up shaking. he’s trembling all over. he’s losing it. that last teary glance they exchanged.......
uther was two SYLLABLES away from blowing the whole thing
and in a better happier canon where arthur knows and was waiting for merlin to tell him this is like double angst because uther wouldve ben blowing something for them both
i like arthurs followup of realizing that he’ll never be able to please uther (step 1 of breaking away from the cycle of abuse) but for the LIFE OF ME
i will NEVER be able to understand why they segued into this GLOVE THING
i’m not talking about the glove thing
i will say however that by the end of this episode i was so hysterical i had to get up and get water and pace around my kitchen for ten minutes fanning my own face
and that’s it. that’s the second-best episode of merlin and the last good episode there ever was
