[sirianasims]

The new arrangement worked surprisingly well. I had never seen Samuel so relaxed. Even when he had a long shift, he was all smiles when he walked through the door and Hailey and Ivy were on him immediately.

I found myself looking forward to that moment every day, seeing him laugh as he hugged and kissed the girls, teased them, asked them about their day. They all looked so happy.

He would help Hailey with homework while I cooked dinner for all of us. He always managed to make it fun and interesting for her, and he even made sure Ivy felt included.

I loved listening to him patiently explain things to them. It made me happy to see. I might have done everything else wrong, but at least I picked an amazing father for my children.

I was almost sad that I had to scarf down my food before leaving them to go coach the senior team. I would rather have spent the evening with them, but I also knew it was good for me to get out, and I wanted to give Samuel time with the girls alone, without me hovering in the background.

“Hey, I’m back. And none of them broke a hip, so no extra work for your colleagues tomorrow.”

“Hey. The girls are asleep. I must admit, I wouldn’t have expected you to get into volunteering.”

I plopped down at the other end of the couch.

“Me neither. Jessica teases me relentlessly. But I just needed to feel useful, you know? I mean, outside of just working and being a mom. Do something nice for other people, something selfless for once. I’ve been stuck in my head for so long and this keeps me grounded.”

“That’s good. I should probably find a hobby myself. Just never had the time between the girls and residency and…”

“And your hysterical wife?”

“Come on, Freya! I would never call you hysterical.”

I laughed.

“Only because it’s medically inaccurate! I was the worst and I know it. I should have gone to therapy when I was like, twelve or something.”

He shrugged, smiling.

“Better late than never? And therapy is no joke. I had a few sessions myself to deal with the divorce and it was hard work.”

“Yeah? Do you want to talk about it? It’s fine if you don’t, and I probably wouldn’t enjoy hearing what you had to say about me, but…”

He smiled.

“I’ll skip the parts about you. It wasn’t much I haven’t said to your face anyway. But I ended up talking a lot about my family. I always felt like there was a lot of pressure on me to do better than Charlie, to never fuck up in any way. You know, to spare our parents, try to make up for all the grief he was causing them. It made me rethink a lot of things, and it made me very aware of how I parent Ivy and Hailey so I don’t end up creating some sort of unhealthy dynamic between them.”

“That’s good. I don’t want them to end up fighting each other.”

Samuel sent me a mischievous grin.

“Or stealing each other’s husbands.”

“Ouch.”

“Sorry. I went too far.”

“No, it’s OK. Also, you don’t know, they could be stealing each other’s wives!”

He laughed.

“True. Shame on me for assuming.”

“For what it’s worth, I still wish I had tried therapy sooner. Maybe I wouldn’t have hurt you like that.”

“Freya, you would have hurt me sooner or later. I fell in love with you when we were fifteen, and you never did.”

“But if I hadn’t been such a mess, we wouldn’t have gotten married in the first place, and then I wouldn’t have…”

“And then I wouldn’t have my daughters. Would you take that away from me?”

“Not when you put it like that, no.”

“Good. See you tomorrow?”

“Yeah. Tomorrow.”

I followed him to the door and he turned to smile at me as I watched him walk to the car.

It almost felt like I had my old friend back.

My Masterlist ♧

Read on Ao3 ♤

Tagging some of you who I know like this dude:

@justalittletomato @literatureandqueen @by-the-primes @eyecandyeoz @eloquentmoon (honey I tagged you just in case you want to read my stuff ♡)

It was a very long night.  He took you to a concert yesterday.  And not at just any concert - No!  His band "Corroded Coffin"!

It was the best and probably the only concert you had seen so far.

 Hawkins was your home.  It was nice, you didn't want to deny that, but it was boring. Nothing really happened here. Until you met him.  Edward Munson - or simply Eddie.  

He had everything that could interest you in a guy. You've been friends for a few months now. You wanted so badly to tell him that there was more than just a friendship.  

But the fear of his answer was too great. You prefer to watch him from afar, the fear of losing him was just too big. Sometimes you swallow the feelings, sometimes you let them out in the form of little tears on your pillow.

Eddie...everyone called him the "freak" - for you he was perfect. Despite all you weren't like the other either. Always wearing oversized shirts and ripped Jeans, listening to those metal Bands Eddie liked too. And that is how you met each other in the nearby record shop. 

You reached for the new Metallica record "Masters of Puppet" as Eddie grabbed for it in the same second. It was the last one and Eddie let you have it. With the condition that you would meet and hear them together! And you did, very often.

At some point he had introduced you to one of his other hobbies - Dungeons & Dragons!  He had helped you create your own character. A half-elf rogue! And that's when you began to meet his other friends too. You really enjoyed yourself.

Eddie and you - you and Eddie. Inseparable, simply perfect and yet different from everyone else. How could you ever think of ruining such a valuable friendship with your silly feelings?

You had known for a long time that he was in a band, but you hadn't heard them play. But yesterday Ed took you to a gig - Finally!

Eddie played his electric guitar like a young god! The energy in the old shed, the people - it took your breath away - He took your breath away. And in that moment you realized that you want to tell him...no, have to tell him how you feel!

Eddie insisted on taking you home. He couldn't take responsibility for leaving you alone in your slightly inebriated state. You danced the streets of Hawkins and couldn't get a sound out of your head. At some point you noticed that you weren't on your way home at all.

 "Ed...This isn't my house..." you slurred out, leaning into his shoulder.  "No, but you don't really think I'll leave you alone, do you?" You looked at him questioningly. He gave you a little headbutt.  "You will stay with me!" A soft "ouch" escaped your lips as you bobbed your head.

Eddie opened the door to the trailer and waved you inside in one motion.  "M'lady?"  You had to laugh and jump into it in another second.

Small, messy but kind of exactly what you expected. That was Eddie's room. He hung his electric guitar on the wall and kissed it goodnight. Then he threw you a t-shirt. You just stared at it.  "I'm not looking, but you should change your clothes..." you prepare the shirt in front of you and stare at it.  "Master of Puppets..." you whisper. Then you hold it very close to you. It smelled like Eddie...but not bad.

Eddie looked at you and raised an eyebrow.  "Girl…you're weird. You don't get alcohol..." "May I keep it!?" you interrupt him. "Uh...sure, why not?" A wide grin ran down your cheeks.  You looked around his room frantically.  "Scissors?!"

Eddie was kind of taken aback by the situation, yet amused. He pulled a pair of scissors from a corner and handed them to you. "Tell me, what are you up to?"  he asked. "Turn around!" you called to him.  And Eddie did as he was told.

Eventually a "Done!" came from you. Eddie had meanwhile sat down on the bed and kept nodding away.  When he heard your voice he started and saw you standing right in front of him.

You were wearing his shirt and had cut it in so far that it had a lot of fringes. "What are you saying? I brought my own touch to it!"  Eddie looked you up and down and said nothing.  "Not good?"  He smiled and took your hand in his.  "Perfect."  

Your cheeks flushed slightly and your nervousness tangled up your stomach.  Eddie placed a kiss on the back of your hand.  "What…?"  you start to say but that's all you got for Eddie had pulled you onto his lap and wrapped his arms around you tightly.  His one hand held your bottom so you could sit a little more stable, the other stroked through your hair.  

Slowly realizing the situation, you wrap your arms around his neck and hug him tightly.

You looked deep into each other's eyes and thought now was the perfect moment to confess your feelings to him...when Eddie just flopped down on the bed and took you with him!

He let out a loud yawn and then said, "Can we finally sleep!? I'm tired...it was a great night but really exhausting..." Eddie looked down at you. You made yourself comfortable on his chest and fell asleep. With a big smile on his face and his hand wrapped around yours.  He brushed your cheek with his other hand. Then he pulled you in a much comfortable position, so you both can sleep well.

And deep in your head you just thought: He already knows...and I know it now too.

heyy^^ could I ask for a romantic match up with a haikyuu boy? ://)

I'm a girl and use she/they pronouns (but I prefer they/them), I'm 18 and I'm demi- & pansexual.

I'm an entp/intp and I'd say I'm a open minded and kinda funny person. I tend to be extremely shy when I'm not comfortable with people but when I'm with people I trust I'm the most extrovert person in the room.

When people annoy me or hurt people I love I can get damn mad in seconds.

Others say I'm very loyal and a good listener. They also see me as responsible (and I dont understand why, because I act kinda childish sometimes)

If I'm interested in something I can lose myself in it really quickly.

I really like science (especially chemistry & astronomy) and video games and my hobbies are skying, skating, volleyball and cooking.

My favourite song changes from time to time but some of my all time favourites are video games (by the young professionals) and serotonin (by girl in red)

Thank you so much and have a nice day!

A mystery person looking for love chose me as their matchmaker! Let's see what they're getting...

↬ Berry's note: thank you for sending in a request lovely anon!! also dw, i got your second message so its all good ( ๑>ᴗ<๑ )

You've been destined to be with none other than charismatic Oikawa Tooru himself! Wanna learn more?

- First of all, you two make such a cute duo [jealous] </3

- BUT LET'S GET INTO IT! First of all, getting to know each other. You're shy with strangers, right? Oikawa's perfect for that! He's such a lively and extroverted boy, so he tends to start conversations with people (and keep then going).

- The way he first notices you, it could've been anything. Maybe he saw you sitting alone reading, maybe you were discussing practice with your volleyball teammates (if you're in the club) or maybe he just overheard you making a really funny joke with a friend.

- Whatever it was, it caught his interest so he approached you once before his volleyball practice started. You were caught off guard because 1) wait omg no he's talking to me and 2) omg it's oikawa? Not blushy kind of shy, you just weren't expecting his company.

- He looked so jolly (and for what?) while asking you questions to get to know you. Your name, class, extracurricular activities, mutual friends possibly? He rambled on and on to prolong his time with you that he didn't sense Iwaizumi walking up behind him.

- "Y'know that one old chemistry teacher? I had her this morning and sh- OUCH??"

- Yeah, Iwaizumi used Volleyball-to-the-head™, it was super effective. Needless to say, he had to leave but before leaving, he waved you goodbye with a huge grin.

- After this first meeting, you two started to interact more and more often. After getting to know you, he discovered that not only are you nice and really friendly, you're genuinely so funny and being around is never a bore.

- You two have the same childish humour, and sometimes it's like you two mentally communicate elaborate bullshit ideas every 2 seconds (please leave iwaizumi alone, he'll die if Oikawa and Oikawa's partner in crime start to mess around)

- He likes to take you out on nature walks or stargazing, and if he's feeling funky, he'll take you to an arcade. He'll try to impress you by attempting to win a 10k token plushie (he didn't succeed in the end, instead, you won a duck plushie and gave it to him).

- And it's not surprising that at this rate, he started to really like you <3

- And after a while, he confessed his feelings to you. He didn't leave out the parts on how seeing you walk through the school gate always made him feel giddy, how he would giggle when he reads your messages, how gazing at your face while you do your homework in his room always sent his heart into a frenzy. He really poured his heart out.

- And let's just say, you two hit it off >:]

- Now let's start with the adorable stuff <3

- Ok first of all, TREATS YOU LIKE A GODDESS AND WILL NEVER DISRESPECT YOU. SERIOUSLY!!! You mean so much to him so he wouldn't even imagine hurting you in anyway :(

- LOVES taking walks with you in parks and around ponds. Will hold your hand the entire time (kisses the back of your palm before doing it <3)

- PLANETARIUM DATES!!! If I'm not wrong, it's canon he likes aliens, and you like astronomy right? Perfect sense to buy two tickets and spend your day in a planetarium together. His eyes would be like saucers the entire time and everytime 5 minutes, he goes, "Oh my god Y/N-chan, look at these!!! :0"

- During school days, will frequently invite you over to his house to spend time together, play video games, watch silly videos, watch reality TV together or volleyball matches when he feels like it.

- Speaking of volleyball, he'll bring you with him to practice! Will wink at you continuously and shows off his skills (pls cheer for him). If he's up to it, he'll play a 1-1 with you in the local neighbourhood park on your way back home.

- THINKS YOU'RE SO COOL WHEN SKATING!!! YOU COULD BE FALLING OFF AND HE'LL GO, "Omg Y/N you're so awesome :D!". PLEASE TEACH HIM TOO!

- Even the basics are enough for him. Also if you hold his hands while guiding him, chances are he'll start to blush. You're just so impressive and the praise you're giving him is too much for his heart to handle <3

- Ok ok, we all know Oikawa has a problem with limiting himself and always overworks himself. He's aware of that, but he doesn't think anyone wants to hear him talk about it.

- Except, you're there for him. It takes him a while to open up but, after he does, he never goes one day without thanking you. For reassuring, for scolding him when he needs it, for caressing him whenever he gets injured. For being there for him :]

- In return, he'll shower you with so much affection and loving words. He'll always check up on you, whether or not something bad happens.

- Reminds you of things if you forget them! You lost your notebook? He'll help you rewrite your notes and lessons. You have an important assignment due tomorrow? He'll help you with it, even if it means half-assing it. He's always there to assist you and make your life easier, just like how you made him happier.

- In conclusion, Oikawa would fly to the moon and back just to see you happy <3.

Runner ups!

➵ Sugawara Koushi (was so close to choosing him)

➵ Kozume Kenma

➵ Kuroo Tetsurou

↬ Berry's after-writing note: *fucking dies* MY BAKER AND FLOWER LOVING S/O POSTS WERE SO LOVED??? HELP???? THANK YALL SO MUCH. also thank you so much for sending in your request anon!!! mwah mwah :>

Some People Be Shitting on My Girl Ariel

And I am here to tell you why saying shit like "Ariel left her family for d*ck whereas Moana did it to save her village" is not on.

Ariel from the very start of the movie is shown to have a profound fascination with the human world. Her passion for anthropology is such that she befriended the only bird who'd come near her and avidly listens to him to collect every tidbit of information about humans that she can get.

In the famed song "Part of that World" she sings about how she longs to "ask them my questions and get some answers", which goes to show that she often feels ignored and tossed aside when she expressed curiosity. Her interests don't matter. Her concerns are invalid. (There's a lot of proof of this in the prequel where we see her dad completely ignore her when she tries to make a point about music and how Atlantea should have it.)

She also sings about wanting to be somewhere where "they don't reprimand their daughters", showing once again that she feels scorned and diminished. Powerless.

She doesn't sing about wanting to go to balls and meet dudes to thirst on. She sings about wanting to explore a new world, discover a new culture and - hopefully - better her own fate by going to a place she, although knowing little about it - feels and hopes is more progressive than her world in certain key areas, namely the respect given to young women.

Lo and behold, she sees a mortal man and is infatuated. Saves him. Sings to him. Bonds with him in the throes of danger. This is the first time she is close to the object of her passion - a real live human - and he is fascinating and male and pretty damn fine.

We don't know how much contact Ariel has with merman, but her best friend is a literal fish, her chaperone is a crab and like... do we see Ariel interact with any mermen? Or her sisters? Never. This isn't conclusive evidence but considering how tight a leash Triton tries to keep her on, I honestly wouldn't be shocked if she just plain wasn't allowed to talk to guys - tailed or legged - that were even remotely sexually compatible with her ever. So yeah.

She's out and about unsupervised, saves a hot dude, spends the night high on adrenaline and feeling like a powerful heroine while in the closest proximity she's ever been to a man who isn't her dad EVER... and the night before she'd seen him singing and dancing and being generally good humoured and not a jerk? She is going to fall hard and fast.

That's not a character flaw, okay. I repeat. FALLING IN LOVE ISN'T A CHARACTER FLAW.

It doesn't make her silly or weak or stupid to fall head over heels for a guy who represents everything she finds inspiring in a very short time. It makes her *sixteen*, her canon age, if I'm not mistaken. Hormones are high, mood is lit, guy is attractive. She's going to be attracted. She is going to love him. Love what he represents. Novelty. Freedom. Joy. Adventure.

Most of all, she's going love what he inspires in her: courage, strength, daring. And yeah, beauty and sexiness too.

He makes her feel more powerful than she's EVER felt before and they haven't even spoken yet! Unsurprisingly, she is going to confuse attraction and a feeling of empowerement with "true love", especially if she's never been told she was powerful before.

Ariel has been told she's pretty and sings well and all she's good for is sitting tight in her shell and combing her hair and performing for concerts.

As someone whose father has told them - and I quote - "the only thing I know that you can do well is sing" (ouch...), it smarts okay. It *hurts* to want more and be reduced to your voice. Unsurprising that Ariel didn't see trading it as a big deal.

By the time she goes to see Ursula, she has *saved a man's life* in the middle of a raging storm while the sea was on *fire*. Her chaperone has betrayed her leading to her father disrespecting her one time too many and then *destroyed* her most valuable possessions to "teach her a lesson". She is in love and angry and empowered. And he expects her to what? Go home and fucking *sing*?

Honestly, if Ursula hadn't asked for her voice, she'd probably have offered it up anyways in exchange for one (1) Atlean salt-and-vinegar chip.

So... keep in mind that this is the mindset of the girl who "gave up her world and family for d*ck".

Her dad's a jerk. Her sisters don't share her interest or understand her. Her best friend is a *fish* and just not able to keep up or truly connect with her the way she wishes he could. She is *lonely*. She is young. She is a girl.

And do you know what girls are taught? They're taught that the only thing that will make them feel more powerful than being in love... is being someone's mom. Ariel is too young to care about motherhood. But she is the perfect age to buy the "true love is the most powerful feeling you will ever experience" bullshit hook, line and sinker.

So if she feels empowered around a man? A good looking man at that? Must mean she's madly in love with him.

And see... this narrative... it isn't just Ariel who has it. She has spent *years* passionate about humanity and its culture only to be dismissed, mocked or forbidden to explore her interests at every turn. Her troves, build over years of exploration, is annihilated in *seconds*. Her father has NO respect whatsoever for her desire to learn about humans.

Ariel's true passion: anthropology of humanity is completely invalidated. No one sees it as something of value in this girl, much less something that might empower her enough to seek out the sea witch and give up her tail and voice to pursue. Least of all her.

And yet, it is. I am willing to bet that if she'd gone home after talking to Flotsam and Jetsam, the idea of seeking out the sea witch would have stayed there and within a decade, she'd have gone anyways.

The thing is... the interest of women and girls aren't taken seriously. They're "childish" and "immature" and "unimportant". The most important thing a woman can do is be in a relationship with a man and then a mother, or so we're told. That's why even accomplished career women are seen as having something fundamentally missing if they're single.

My point is... Ariel didn't abandon her family and home to chase after a guy she hadn't even talked to yet.

She abandoned her family and home to chase after a dream she'd had for years. The guy was a side quest that temporarily obsessed her because hormones and also threat of doom via seawitch... but folks. The sheer *delight* on that girl's face during her carriage ride through town is not the face of a woman whose biggest concern in life is getting married. You know... when her life isn't under threat if she doesn't.

What you should be pissed off about isn't that a sixteen year old dared fall in love with a guy who made her feel powerful, even though she didn't know him. And it's not that said sixteen year old was willing to trade the things OTHER PEOPLE told her were her most valuable assets (family that doesn't value her as a person, home she wants to leave, singing ability that has been used to demean her to a useless pretty thing)...

What you should be pissed off about... is that Triton thought it was okay to destroy the trove his daughter worked years towards. Would have NEVER allowed her to trade her legs and voice to go be human just for the sake of learning and enjoying human culture...

But was *blessing* her decision to do just that when framed under the lense "I'm in love with this dude I've know for less than a week and I'm gonna marry him, unfortunately tail's gotta go to make that happen and I'm never coming home ever."

He would have dragged her back kicking and screaming if she'd asked to leave so she could go pursue her passion. No amount of "proving herself worthy" would have made that an okay thing for her to do. But because it's "true love"... sure. Fine. She can go. He's fulfilled his fatherly duties anyways and made sure she's done the most important thing a daughter can do: marry a rich dude.

The moral of this story is...

A. Stop shitting on women for falling in love. It doesn't make them less worthy or their decisions less legitimate.

B. Stop shitting on women for confusing feeling empowered with falling in love when they're told about how amazing and magical the latter is and don't even know the former is exits, a lot of the time.

C. Start shitting on people for giving more legitimacy to the concept of "true love" as a motivator for making huge life changes than they do to shit like "because this thing interests me and I like it a lot and it makes me feel good when I do it". Start shitting on people for making a woman seeking a sense of fulfillment not worth a happy ending unless there's a romance too.

D. Moana was super selfish for wanting to leave her home to go explore even though she had a good family and her island was happy. And that's *okay*. Women are allowed to want things for themselves. They don't exist to please others and pacify their societies. Good on her for saving her village though.

E. Ariel was super selfish for wanting to leave her home to go explore even though her family was arguably much less awesome than Moana's. And that's *okay*. Good on her for meeting a dude she liked, falling for him and making the relationship last and be, as far as Ariel II shows us, a pretty decent one. WOMEN ARE ALLOWED TO WANT ROMANCE and it doesn't make them frivolous, even if they want it more than the "important" shit they're told they should be interested in instead. (Not that Ariel's main interest was romance, btw)

F. Women are allowed to be happy dammit. Be it via romance or career or hobby or academics or all of the above or *none* or other.

Just let women be happy without putting one down in favour of the other and shitting on them.

Ariel is a *great* movie and Ariel is a badass character and she is smart and extremely competent and *brave* and strong and good and anyone who says otherwise is a superficial coward whose forgotten what it feels like to be 16 and disrespected. In this essay I will...

surviving paradise chapter 27 hobby

As the night wears on, a lone female of the species has succumbed to sleep in the safety of her natural burrow. Little does she realise the walls of her own creation will offer no protection tonight, for the predator on the prowl has already found its way within these corridors. A little drama is about to take place. A young life about to be snuffed out.

Sleek and black as the night, the predator stalks her, moving from shadow to shadow. He moves so fluidly he does not even trigger Capsule Corp’s movement-sensitive lights, and the hallways remain dark and deceptively peaceful. Ki sparks suddenly and grows quickly into a ball, small yet deadly in its potency, as she only just stirs from her slumber. She never had a chance.

“Bang, you’re dead!” The ki cracks inches from her face. Her eyes flutter once, then open wide as she realises her impending doom. A loud screech, the ki-light snuffs out, replaced by the flickering of ceiling lights, and finally dead silence. She stares up at me with unseeing eyes from her spot against the wall where she had dozed off. Unmoving.

I hold it together for a full five seconds before I burst into laughter.

The sound finally pulls her from her stupor. “Jesus-fucking-christ Vegeta!” she manages, after a few panicked gulps of air.

I think she stopped breathing there for a while. Hilarious. Not to mention the smell of fear on her is more than satisfactory. So she does still scare, at least when I catch her off guard.

She slowly pulls herself to her feet, visibly shaken, and her glare sets me into a fit of laughter that physically hurts. Cutting off with a wheeze, I restrain myself from holding my ribs. “Oh, the expression on your face right now, it’s simply priceless!”

Bulma swallows, bends over once more with her hands on her knees, then straightens herself with effort. “I’m so happy you’ve found yourself a hobby, Vegeta. Of course it would have to involve scaring people to death. Feeling better now?”

Yes, actually. I do. Feels great. Anyway, she deserves it; she’s the one that started with the stalking. I caught her staking out my room; and even with her asleep sneaking by would have done little good; she’d have heard me close the door. Just yesterday, when I did and she woke to realise her mistake, she talked to my closed door for over an hour and kept me up, because I wouldn't let her in. My current mood soured, I harrump, and move for my escape.

She cuts me off. “Oh right. Now I remember what I was here for. Hey, want to hang out tonight, catch a movie?”

I blink at her. “It’s three a.m.?” I trained too late, got too little done. I set goals, but fell short and quit only when it became obvious I was too exhausted to do more. It took all of my energy just to take a shower, and all I want now is sleep. I’m too tired to even eat, let alone watch some silly make-believe film.

This is where she does the thing I really hate: she smiles. Not just any smile, but the fake one. Friendly, polite, helpful. I hate that smile. I also hate it that she knows just when to pounce, when I’m too tired to fight her manipulations. “I’d have hoped to start one a few hours ago for sure. But it’s okay. We have our own theatre down in the basement. I’ll let you pick a movie?”

She is so persistent. Guess I sort of asked for that, but... “If this is another attempt at relaxing me, just forget it.” Yes. I regret asking for help, but I can still rectify that mistake. Tell her no to her face. It’s too stupid an idea to work, besides her presence will only be detrimental in the end. I know. I can tell. “Just go hang with your loser friends instead. I’m not interested.”

I push her out of the way, make it to my door. But the word no is apparently not in her vocabulary. She squeezes herself between me and the door once more before I can wrench it open. “Oh, come on Vegeta. They’re all out training. And I’ve waited on you so long everyone would be asleep by now anyway. You woke me up good, and besides,” she winks, “you want to be a Super Saiyan, right?”

I debate opening the door anyway, and just knocking it against her head. She’s asking for it with the way she jabs out her chin at me, arms behind her, thrusting out her chest. But the female breaks easily. I might kill her. Though it feels we might be heading that way regardless. How do I make her stop without killing her? “It’s late. I already showered. I just want to sleep.”

Yes, I was going to try her theory. But that was before... Before I realised. Can’t she see the warning signs? Perhaps she has no survival instincts at all, because none of those obvious markers of doom slow her down. Instead, she lets her eyes rove down my chest. It makes me glad I put on a shirt, but the self-conscious tingle in my spine already tells me it will do me little good. She’s found an offence, and my chances of getting any rest are lost. “Obviously. Did you even bother to change your bandages? And what? Is that blood? You’re bleeding through your shirt. Again. What you need is first-aid.”

I’m always bleeding. Which seems like a lousy argument, even to me. So I don't really fight her when she grabs my hand and pulls me away with a sigh, grumbling like I’m making her do this. “Come on, let me fix you up. Again. There goes my movie night.”

She steers us to a guest room next to mine, set up with medical supplies. There’s even one of those flat table-beds instead of the soft ones humans prefer to sleep in. I half sit, half lean on it as she retrieves the right supplies, then take off my shirt in resignation. I didn't really think on this room enough, I realise now. She must have set up this place for my benefit, because no one else ever uses it. It’s annoying, she’s taking too much interest in me. Making too much of it. Still she clicks her tongue at me, like she’s the one that’s bothered. “Did you just pull off the old bandages?”

Yeah? “You wanted me to shower with them? How am I supposed to dry off?” I think I better not mention I did just that last time and then I tried to dry off with my ki. The heat then caused the bandages to shrink, and, well, that was just a mess. Not sure how such weak creatures as you humans even survived with this sad attempt at medicine.

“Maybe warn me next time? I can get them off without pulling the crusts off.” She still makes that attempt at a stern voice, shakes her head. Who does she think she is anyway? Oh, yeah. Let’s ask you to fuss over me. Like you need excuses for that. Does she have some kind of nurse fetish? That would explain why she can't leave me alone anymore. Then again, she could just be that bored.

Training is apparently done far away from Capsule Corp. I’m not sure why, because the only useful place to do so should be the gravity room. Then again, perhaps the men of Earth know something I am only now becoming aware of. Something to do with this vixen, I imagine.

She starts swaddling my biceps in silence, but soon breaks it, any quiet obviously as alien to her as she to me. “Are you sure you’re training the right way?” I blink. It's like she read my mind, and she taps my busted ribs. “Strength training should be about micro tears. The ones that heal within days.” She taps a little to the side of my latest wound. “But this one is not yet healed, and now there’s a new bruise? You’re layering them, not giving your muscles time to heal. Are you sure this is how Saiyans get stronger?”

Uhm. I have no idea what this ‘micro’ stuff is. I know Zenkai: you nearly kill yourself, then get stronger. That is a little difficult to do with training, even with the added gravity. I think I’m doing a decent job... Okay, training is not a thing I have much practice in. It was just not done by Frieza’s men, and I used to just run the front lines until I needed to be dragged off for healing, counting on the Zenkai power boost unique to Saiyans. But I’m not about to tell this nosy minx any of that. “Mind your own business.”

She keeps talking, a string of words that I tune out as I wonder if she’s going to release me soon. Why am I allowing this? I must be even more tired than I thought, because I can feel my eyelids droop. Maybe the woman has a sort of zenkai too. The harder I push her away, the more determined she becomes. So maybe if I just stop pushing, she’ll get tired of it? I know I am. Perhaps I can just pass out here. That wouldn’t be so bad. Just when I think I might, her voice lulling me to sleep, her touch makes me jump.

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”

She snorts at me over my shoulder, her breath brushes the back of my neck. “Relax.”

For fuck’s sake. “Can you stop saying that word?”

She strokes her fingers over the sides of my neck again, all the way to my shoulders. “I’m just trying to smooth some of the tension out. What, am I hurting you?”

“Oh, please. Your weak little human fingers couldn’t possibly —ouch!” I regret running my mouth, twice over. Damn, why can’t she just leave me be? I guess when I stop pushing her back she’ll just overstep the next boundary. I take her hand away and twist to look over my shoulder at her. “Fucking cut it out.”

“What, the big bad Saiyan can’t handle a little massage?” She snorts again, that little twinkle back in her eye.

“We are done here.” Why can't she see I’m trying? Trying not to... Fuck, at this point I’m practically saving her life here.

“What? You say you want to become Super Saiyan, but when you have to try anything new you just balk. A massage is a basic part of any athlete’s schedule. It’s relaxing, helps muscles recover, and I might mention that Goku loves them.”

I move to stand and slam my hands on the table-bed, only just restraining myself from smashing it to pieces. “Don’t compare me to that third-rate—”

“Why not? He’s got what you want, right? It only makes sense to look for what you’re doing different. Or, what? You’re scared of little old me touching you?” She’s taunting, daring me. Seriously, if my hand slips at this point I think I can make a case for her having committed suicide.

Breathe. I pull my fingers out of the table, deep indents in the metal. I weigh my options. Kill her, and run before Kakarot comes to exact revenge? That would be cowardly. Leave, altogether, without killing her? Still cowardly. Explain to her…

How should I explain? Of course, I’m not scared of her. Well, not scared of her as a person; just this, this thing she keeps doing. This will end badly. It always ends badly. Someone will get hurt. Someone will end up dead. I go for the short version. “I am going to kill you.”

I cringe as she laughs, a tinkle of unworried silver. “How’s this then? I’m going to give you a proper massage, fifteen minutes tops. And if you don’t feel good after, you can kill me.”

I scoff at her. Seems she’s set on ending up dead either way. Well, I tried. At least I tried.

[warmau]

{Special} College!AU Sungjin

sungjin already graduated college, he did his degree in biology and is now in his third year of medical school 

his speciality is surgery

so most of his time is dedicated to his clerkship within one of the city’s hospitals

he’s on rotations, so he really never knows what his schedule is but he knows one thing - he has ZERO free time

the million times jae tried to invite him out for dinner with the guys sungjin was like ‘i havent slept in three days. im living off cold coffee. if i eat a full meal it might just kill me’

jae was like,,,,,suit yourself we’re getting curry

sungjin, in tears: have fun,,,,,,,

when he does get ,,, like time off which is rare - very, very rare

he tries to keep up with his musical hobbies, keep up with his guitar and his singing but it’s really just for his fellow friends who all like music too

when he was in college with them he was part of night6, but when he started med school it was like

THAT dream is over,,,,,,,rip

but he still loves music - he’s like the only student in his year who needs to listen to music when studying otherwise he can’t do it

people are like “how do you concentrate with the lyrics?”

and sungjin just kind of vaguely shrugs and he’s like “i don’t hear them - i listen to the melody.”

“so like instrumentals?”

sungjin, eyes wide: “no. i just FEEL the melody”

he shares an apartment with a close friend of his, jaebum who isn’t in med school but is doing his masters in ancient history

the two of them are worlds apart in terms of their careers, but jaebum comes in handy because he understands latin and a lot of sungjin’s textbook use latin prefixes in medical terminology

so sungjin is just like “how do you say this?” and jaebum pronounces it perfectly and sungjin is just like,,,,,,,,,,,,yeah definitely gonna butcher that one

he likes to keep his space clean - and his room is virtually empty because he has no money or time to decorate it

(although, when he graduated all of night6 pitched in together to get him this really cool guitar stand and set of pics so he has those displays - even if dowoon was like ‘that’s corny’)

weird fact though: he’s very good at building ikea furniture. he’s so good with his hands people are like “OH surgery - no wonder! it fits you so well!”

sungjin always tries to make corny dad jokes about why he’s in surgery but they’re never funny jskhgfds

looks super cute wearing the doctor’s mask, his pristine white lab coat, and carrying around his clipboard

all the scrub nurses think he’s just precious,,,,,,,

he’s really popular with moms LOL (and patients in general)

out of all the people in his rotations, he takes getting scolded and snapped at the best

which is interesting because you look at him and think: big softie, which he is 

but he’s also a natural born leader - who keeps it together just so other fellow med students dont get discouraged

(still internally screams during evaluations week though)

you actually meet sungijn at the hospital where he’s doing his clerkship

you’re currently part of the hospital's senior citizen program, where you volunteer to help out those who might have trouble getting around and making sure they get to their apointments

so when the grandmother you’re taking care of needs to see the surgeon - you’re there with her

it’s a minimally invasive surgery, for her kidney stones and the student on the job is none other than sungjin

when he calls you two from the waiting room, you first notice the absolutely genuine concern in his eyes

he’s not like other med students,,,,,who are cold and almost fatigued or overly bright and peppy

he’s very much like an actual doctor - you’d been fooled if you hadn’t been to other appointments before 

(and plus,,,,,,, he’s wearing his uni’s ID badge)

he goes through the usual pre-surgery questions, you have to help her answer some because she forgets and each time you do

sungjin smiles, thanking you 

it’s weird - but there’s this warmth to him, you immediately feel that there’s something about this guy

something that makes you happy he’s going to be a surgeon one day

a nurse comes in to help him prep for the surgery, and you see how careful and methodical his hands are

and when he’s done he gives you and the grandmother one last tiny bow and tells you the nurse will come back to start the anesthesia with the doctor

when it starts, you leave the surgery room to wait for the grandmother in the hall

it won’t take long, so you settle down with a book you’d brought along when you glance up to see sungjin

“park! do you know where the gloves are - we ran out in this room!” someone calls out and sungjin points down the hall “closet, we just restocked.”

a moment later there’s two other students running up to him, barraging him with questions

sungjin answers them, calm and collected

this goes on for a good fifteen minutes - sungjin doesn’t have anytime to himself to finish his notes or start his next intake

he must be really reliable

you observe, but then stifle a giggle when you see him trip over the side of the receptionists desk

sungjin must have heard you because he looks your way, a little red in his cheeks and you shyly have to drop your gaze back to your book

more times pass and then a nurse tells you you can come in, the surgery went well and you’ll be able to take the grandmother home

you thank her - the surgeon, who leaves the room with a nod your way and then you catch sungjin’s eye again

“everything alright?”

you nod and he smiles in return, “im happy to hear it.”

after that,,,you don’t really visit the surgery ward much

but for some reason sungjin stays on your mind

so when a fellow person in your program asks if you can cover and taken one of their seniors to their surgery appointment - you jump at the opportunity

sungjin is a little shocked, but happy to see you again 

“i assume you’re in the seniors program here, that or you love taking old people to the doctor?”

you laugh a little “im a volunteer there, and while it’s not fun taking them to the doctor - it feels like im doing something good.”

sungjin seems to dwell on that for a moment, “it is something good. you’re a good person.”

you stare at him, softening a little “you are too.”

to anyone else it would have just been small talk, you and sungjin are strangers - but you think in that moment something,,,,something sparks

neither you or sungjin have really heard words like that before,,,,,,

sure you were told “oh! volunteering is so good for a resume!” and sungjin had heard “surgeon? how much money will that rack in?!”

but,,,,just a simple “you’re doing this because you’re a good person” can just mean,,,a lot

and although the first time you visit the surgery ward, right after your volunteering shift ends, the nurses look between you and sungjin

and he’s again a bit shocked

it’s not like,,,weird,,,,,,it’s almost as if this could become a regular thing

you only get to talk for maybe five minutes, till sungjin is pulled back into his work

but ,,,, those five minutes are worth it

and every now and then you leave some snacks with one of the nurses to give to sungjin

and they wink up at you and you’re like no,,, i just,,, i want to make sure he eats he’s my friend

and they’re like “mhmm,,,friend”

sungjin brings it up like “the nurses think we’re having some hospital love affair, like in the dramas”

and you laugh it off that time - even though something stirs in your heart just,,,, just a little

a couple of months pass - summer is coming up which means sungjin’s rotations will come to an end for this semester

you’re a little sad, but your visits with him have been getting more comfortable 

and even though sungjin’s sense of humor is a little dated - you enjoy talking with him 

so when you reach the surgery floor, greeting the receptionist as she already knows you by name

your summertime smile drops when you hear the yell

“sungjin, are you joking me? are you some deadbeat first year? you making a mistake like this is beyond my comprehension - you’ve been here long enough for me to know you’re not an idiot. but this makes you look like an idiot!”

the last word makes you cringe, are -  are doctors allowed to talk like that to students?

but no one even bats an eye, the students just look away and some people look a bit uncomfortable

but that’s it

sungjin is left standing there when the doctor throws the papers back into his hands and storms off, the others following behind him

you watch his large shoulders tense - jerk a bit as he turns and then disappears down the corner

“he might be going to the storage closet, third door down that hall.”

the receptionist whispers and you look at her as she tilts her head

“go cheer up your boyfriend.”

you don’t even correct her, your worry for sungjin overrides it as you take her advice 

when you open the door, the small room is dark and you don’t hear any sounds - but you see the outline of sungjin

he’s just standing beside one of the shelves, quiet and defeated

“sungjin?”

he turns around at the sound of your voice, his shoulders don’t relax but he’s not crying or anything

but then, as your eyes adjust a bit - you see the dark bags under his eyes

his hair is a bit of a mess, not combed and clean like usual

you might be exaggerating, but he looks ,,, he looks really bad today

“what’s going on?”

he puts on his ‘it’s all ok, don’t worry about me’ voice and goes “nothing, i just needed a moment.”

you stare at him, almost thorugh him

“no, something is wrong.”

“you have no grounds saying that, you don’t know me that well.”

ouch

that stings and you step back, sungjin seems to have lost that warmth he’s always had

and it’s just in that moment, because sungjin seems to come ot terms with what he’s said and goes to correct himself 

but you just nod, “you’re right. i don’t,,,,,,,”

you turn around and sungjin lifts his hand, but it falters as you start walking away

until he’s alone there again

you don’t come back to visit the surgery clinic

you don’t even try to think about it, and when a student gets into the elevator with you - you do your best to hide your face

but the hospital buzzes with some rumor about you and sungjin breaking up

“are you not with your boyfriend,,,that cute surgery student???” someone asks in your program 

without much emotion you answer, “he wasn’t my boyfriend, not even my friend really.”

it confuses people - but it dies down fast

you and sungjin,,,,,,,,neither of you steps forward first

and it’s only when you hear that it’s the last week of student rotations for this semester that it really dawns on you

he’s never going to apologize is he? 

he’s probably forgotten all about me,,,,,,

but, just as you’re getting ready to leave for the day - saying goodbye to everyone in your program the elevator dings

you turn, to run and catch it when you see who steps out of it

sungjin, awkward and looking around like a lost puppy spots you

in his hand is a boquet of flowers

he walks closer and you kind of just stand there - frozen

“i,,,,,,” he swallows and adjusts his hold on the flowers “i should have done this before, but i ,,,, i just got busy and i -”

“it’s fine. you said what you said and you were right. you didn’t have to go to the gift shop just to get me these.”

sungjin shakes his head, “i got these on my lunch break from an actual florist. i know you said you liked sunflowers so,,,,,,,but also i wasn’t right.”

he looks down, sighing

“i keep a lot of things inside, so when they come out - they come out harsh. you were someone who,,,who made me feel comfortable enough to open up and then i took it out on you when i knew you were there to help. i,,,,i really can be an idiot.”

he laughs sadly and you feel your heart crack a bit

you take the flowers and smell them, looking back up at him

“you’re not an idiot.”

he opens his mouth and you shake your head

“if you were you wouldn’t have made it this far, people wouldn’t relay on you. but you need to remember that sometimes you need to be taken care of to. you need someone to relay on to.”

he falls silent

but in a gentle shy whisper he asks, “is,,,,,would it be ok if i relied on you then?”

you look down into the flowers to hide the smile tugging at your mouth

“of course.”

sungjin’s phone goes off and it’s a text from the students in his clerkship. he has to get going and just as he turns, you pull him back by the sleeve

he’s already put his mask back up, but you pull it down - pressing your lips to his

“when your rotation ends, let’s go on a date - ok?”

sungjin turns every shade of red in the book but he agrees

your first date is a well deserved curry lunch that sungjin has been waiting for for a LONG time

no like seriously, he almost sobs when he gets to eat it and you’re like sungjin,,, and he’s like im sorry ive been living off stale granola bars and packet ramen 

you let him have some of your curry,,,,he almost eats half of it LOL

afterwords you’re walking through the park, the warm evening weather makes it easy for you guys to just wander

when you hear one of the street performers playing on their guitar

you stop to listen, when sungjin suddenly pulls from your side

you watch, confused as he whispers something into the performers ear and your eyes go wide when the guy hands sungjin his guitar

with a smile, sungjin starts to play the chords to one of your songs that you’d mentioned

he sings along, eyes locked on yours and you feel your heart melt inside your chest

when he finishes the performer goes “you must be engaged or something, he loves you so much!”

and sungjin is like “actually,,,,,,,,,this is our first date”

unfortunately, dates are scarce with sungjin till his summer break kicks in 

but it’s ok, you see him for those five minute chats in the hospital

and one of the nurses goes “i saw those two kissing out in the hospital garden this morning~”

you and sungjin: WHAT

the nurse: I KNOW WHAT YOU DID

the other students are all apparently jealous of your relationship,,,that it’s so lucky you volunteer at the same hospital - that they want love too :(

but you’re like guys,,,,don’t get it wrong sungjin is still in a fully committed relationship with his medical textbooks and clerkship,,,,you’re just a third wheel jokes jokes

but honestly, you don’t even mind it’s cool getting to be like “my boyfriends going to be a surgeon”

also i repeat: he looks freaking CUTE in the lab coat 

you put a sticker on his ID card and even though sungjin loves keeping things clean and professional

he keeps it there,,,,because it’s cute - you’re freaking cute

it’s funny though because someone tells you sungjin has a photo of you two in his locker at the hospital and you’re like no way

and when you ask him he just gets red like,,,huh,,,what,,,,,uh,,,,,

you finally get to meet his friends when the summer breaks around and,,,,,god is it funny

jae is just like “bro i thought you were fake ,,,,, i thought for sure sungjin fever dreamed you up or something”

dowoon and youngk just accept you because they trust you love sungjin - even past his dad jokes

and wonpil has a lot of questions. many questions 

“does sungjin make you play that board game with him,,,surgery! yeah surgery-”

“why would he do that-” sungjin, putting a hand over your mouth “shhh don’t answer him - if you do,,,,the questions will never stop.”

since he’s not up to his ears in work and school, you also get to experience more of sungjin’s musical ability

which shocks you everytime - like you’re just like you could have been a musician,,,,why choose surgery??

but you don’t ask him though, you respect his decisions 

but you do shower him in compliments that makes sungjin all giddy and pink

100% comes over and helps you build furniture if you need him too LOL actually fixed your computer too,,,, he’s like a genius with his hands

(in more ways than one)

im just saying that one night,,,when he’s supposed to be just dropping you off after a date maybe,,,you let him in,,,,you know,,,,and sungjin is so cute he’s really like  “what do you wanna watch on netflix?” and you just pull your shirt off and he’s like OH THATS WHY IM HERE

but he’s also like,,,,he’s not a novice - he knows what he’s doing

you check the marks out in the morning and you’re like woah sungjin, you have more energy then expected

sungjin hiding his face in your pillow “im sorry,,,”

teaches you some guitar when you guys have indoor dates, he puts his hands over yours and everything

his bland, clean room starts showing signs of you

like he has a drawer with some of your things - polaroids of you and him hang up on the wall above his desk

and it’s like,,,sungjin is really happy about it

jaebum even notes that he seems to be more comfortable about himself now that he has you

if you guys just have a moment where it’s quiet, you’re laying on his bed and he’s doing something on his laptop at his desk

you’ll look over and just be like “really?” because your cute, nerdy boyfriend is reading wikipedia articles about some weird medical discoveries - even during his break from school

when he goes back, you’re sad about your time together getting cut

but at the same time you have fun making cute flash cards for sungjin’s exams

and just supporting him again with little visits and snacks

and sungjin is honestly lovestruck at this point - it’s so noticeable and it’s like

he never losses it,,,he falls in love with you everyday all over and over agian

like you just smile at him and god his heart burSTS

jae gets your number just to be like: listen, let’s prank sungjin and say i need surgery

you: that’s mean jae

jae: you and him are a good couple, the no-fun couple -___-

sungjin is definitely a kiss on the forehead person, especially when you can’t do a lot of PDA at the hospital

might secretly have asked night6 to play a song he wrote about you for your first anniversery,,,

you cried - he cried,,,,wonpil literally BALLED his eyes out

you and sungjin ended up comforting him

idk,,you guys just are such good people made for each other accept it ok

Luko Heartfilia (Fairy Tail)

(Kat)

Canon has been broken

Name: Luko G. Heartfilia

HE CANNOT BE A HEARTFILIA. THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF LUCY HAVING NO SIBLINGS, SHE HAD NO ONE GROWING UP. DO NOT BREAK CANON.

Nickname: Luko / Lu-kun / Lukonatic Race: Human Age: 24 (X791) Sex: Male Height: 5’11” Weight: 194 lbs Eye Color: Teal Hair Color: Blond

I have a bad feeling.

-Personality- Protective = He his extremely protective toward his friends and family. He will also protect stranger if they are in trouble without even knowing if they are enemies or not. Show off = He tend to show off at some point, that is either his awesome magic or his physic or anything that he can show off, he’ll probably do it. Caring = He cares too much xP Bad temper = He tend to anger himself quite easily if something goes wrong or he doesn’t like it Self-Confident = He is confident in his abilities to do things or what needs to be done (This + show-off = OUCH!! XD)

So he's all caring and nice, but hurt someone he cares about, and boom. He will hurt you.

-History- At birth, Luko got seperated from his family due to his Father, he never wanted an addition to the family other than Lucy. But Layla didn’t agreed, she prefered to gave him to another family instead. So one night, Layla went to town alone with Luko in arms and knock on the door of the first house she thought was good enough. A young man opened the door with his wife by his side, they were confused by why this woman came to their house with a newborn child in arms. “Please, take care of this boy for me! Or else he might die!” asked Layla to the strangers. Without knowing who that woman was, they accepted with pleasure. Before leaving, his mother place a hand on his head and said; “I will come see you as often as I can my dear Luko…Heartfilia!”

What?

WHAT?

NO.

Why would Jude Heartfilia just give up his son? Why would he just want to keep one child but not the other? This makes no sense! 

AND WHY THE HECK WOULD LAYLA JUST GIVE HER CHILD TO SOME RANDOM FAMILY? HOW WOULD SHE KNOW THEY WOULDN'T JUST THROW HIM AWAY? THAT WAS SO STUPID. THIS DOES NOT MAKE YOUR OC INTERESTING.

A few years as past since then and Luko was healthy. He was about nine years old at that time and he was happy with his new family; the Gravis. Earthor; his foster father was an Stone-make user while her foster mother was a writting of light user (Hikari no écriture). 

Just say Light Écriture. it's not hard.

Also, EARTHOR IS LITERALLY THE FORMER NAME OF THE ACCOUNT I FOUND THE OC ON.

They both decided to have a child of their own only a few years after they took in Luko, her name was Kathyrina, she is four years old. His real mother; Layla, was seeing him now and there when she had the time but one day, she stop. Not because she didn’t wanted to see him, but because she past away.

three years later, he decided to go out with his sister Kathyrina for a walk. They were both alone in the woods but something happened, Luko started to hear some “roar” close to them so they hide in the bushes. “I’m scared Luko…” - “Don’t worry, i’m here! We’ll be fine. Just don’t look ok?” Only Luko had his head out and looked at what we could call, a Dragon Slayer using his magic on giant rocks. The sound of it made her sister cry and she was extremely scared of it, so they both ran off but has she kept on running, Luko stop and looked back once more. “I hate that kind of Magic…, it’s scaring my sister and I don’t like it!” He then runs off with a serious face and something on his mind. When he returned home, he asked his foster father to teach him Stone-Make Magic, so that one day he could deal with that kind of magic that is scaring people, Luko wants to protect people with that magic!

Um.

Would Jude even allow that?

And seriously? He hates all Dragon Slayer magic because it scared his four year old sister one time? Just "I will never forgive that person for using their magic and I will forever hate said magic because it scared my four year old sister. Therefore it is the worst kind of magic ever.” 

Six years… after six years of intense magic training, he was good at it, but not only that but his foster mother also taught him writting of light. But he didn’t like the idea of doing this with a pen and in combat, so he decided to use it on Blank cards so he could use them later or when in need of it. “I’m set to go, thanks mother, father!”

This makes zero sense. And what was his motivation? One Dragon Slayer? That's ridiculous.  

“I know your not our real son Luko but in our heart, you will always be part of the family.” said his foster father At that time, he remembered something that his mother Layla told him when he was younger. That he have a real twin sister called Lucy. 

Twin sister?

TWIN?

NO. THIS IS NOT OKAY. LUCY IS AN ONLY CHILD FOR A REASON.

ALSO THIS GUY HAS TEAL EYES. IF THEY'RE TWINS, THEY WOULD HAVE THE SAME EYE COLOR, WHICH IS BROWN.

LITERALLY NOBODY IN THE HEARTFILIA FAMILY HAS TEAL EYES. LUCY HAS BROWN EYES . HER MOTHER HAD BROWN EYES. HER FATHER HAD BROWN EYES. HIS EYES NEED TO BE BROWN.

“Maybe I need to find Lucy, she was with my parents the whole time, i’m sure I can learn new things about my real family!”

And so, at twenty-one, 

Nope. Nope. Lucy was 17 at the beginning of the series. He's TWIN brother apparently. He needs to be her age.

he left his home in search of his sister Lucy Heartfilia but he didn’t know where to go or how to reach it. One day, while on his adventure, he found a wounded young lady on the ground. With his nature of been protective, 

What's 'nature of been'?

he went to see if she was okay, but at the same time, a monster tried to eat the both body, and so Luko used his powerful Stone-Make Magic to push back the creature. He asked her if she was alright and she replied with a nod without speaking. Luko then asked for her name and she simply said; “Sigrun…” with a smile. He then unleashed one of his card with Writting of Light on it to ease the pain she was having and heal her wound. After this was done, they talked for a while without seeing the time pass.

Only Wendy can do healing magic. Do not break canon any more than you already have or so help me.

Then two man approaches Luko and Sigrun, one of them had blonde hair while the other one had black hair. “Come on Sigu, we’re leaving!” said the blonde man but Luko’s intuition made him move in front of the young lady with protective motive but she then put a hand on his back telling him they were his guildmates. Understanding the situation, Luko let her go waving goodbye; “Hope we’ll see each other again!” yelled Luko. She looked at him and whisper; “I hope…”

I am so done with everything involving this Gary Stu.

Two years as past since then, at the age of 23, Luko was still searching for his Twin sister that he thought he would never see her again. He had no clue nor advice on where to search or anything at all, he just searched every corner possible of every town while asking Townfolks. But one day, something clicked! He remembered his Mother telling him that Lucy wanted to go in Fairy Tail when she was young right before she past away. So he then decided to go and search for the Fairy Tail Guild Hall!

Layla was dead before that happened. And if you watched the OVA 'Memory Days', you would know that. Layla died when Lucy was very little. And Lucy only found out about the guild because her older self stopped a runaway carriage with her inside on a hill in front of Magnolia which was facing the guild hall. 

I've said it once, I'll say it again:

AND GET HIS AGE RIGHT.

At last he found it after a few months! 

Literally ask anyone who doesn't live under a rock and they will tell you the Fairy Tail guild is in Magnolia.

THEY ARE THE STRONGEST GUILD IN FIORE.

But it was small and almost no member were there, not even Lucy. When Luko asked if Lucy was here, they all lowered their head in memory of her been gone for almost 7 years. While nothing he could do, he then put his faith in his fist and asked if he could join the Guild and they accepted it!

If this is during the x791 arc, then they would be surprised that anoyoen would want to join the now weakest guild in Fiore.

-Personnal Info- Like: Sigrun/Flirting/Sweets

Who is Sigrun? He met her once and now he likes her?

Dislike: Dragon Slaying Magic/Bad attitude/Thunder

Wow, he is not going to like Laxus, Gajeel and Natsu. 

And Natsu is really protective of Lucy, so heck off, Luko.

Hobbies: Missions/Mess around with friends/Card Tricks Favorite Food/Drink: Sake and Pasta

I am losing my mind.

And it never described him meeting Lucy, so I don't know if she's going to be OOC.

-Social Info-

Family Twin sister Lucy Heartfilia - Alive Father Judes Heartfilia - Deceased Mother Layla Heartfilia - Deceased Foster father Earthor Gravis - Alive Foster mother Leona Gravis - Alive Adopted Little sister Kathyrina Gravis - Alive Friends: Sigrun, Nixus, Megumi and many more

Also, Megumi is apparently and Earth Dragon Slayer, just the thing he hates, and she's his friend. This makes no sense.

Girlfriend: I can’t confirmed it Rivals: Gray / Jirubaisu

Why Gray...?

Roommates: None, lives alone -Profession- Guild: Fairy Tail Guild Master: Makarov Dreyar Rank: Normal member Guild Mark: On top of the left hand in dark yellow Teammates: None, can handle stuff on his own

His family is alive and he's of normal rank? Wow, that's refreshing. I've seen so many OCs who are S class and super edgy because their whole family died in a dolphin attack or something poorly thought out like that.

Also, Megumi is apparently and Earth Dragon Slayer, just the thing he hates, and she's his friend. This makes no sense.

-Magic Abilities- Magic: Stone-Make Magic Weapon: None Abilities: Able to create solid object or weapon with the earth elements. Can also create few living object but requires a lot more magic power to control. Attack -Stone-Make: Mace (Offensive) -Stone-Make: Javelin (Offensive range) -Stone-Make: Turtle Shell (Defensive) -Stone-Make: Mud Slide (Floor) -Stone-Make: Rock Fist (Offensive - For hand-to-hand combat) -Stone-Make: Gargoyle (Offensive creature - used mainly for flying opponent) -Stone-Make: Rock Golem (Ultimate ability, requires a lot a power to handle but deals massive amount of damage) More will come in my head ^.^ -Additional Abilities- Light Cards/Writing of Light: Blank cards with light inscription on them from his second magic power; Hikari no Ecriture (Writting of light). Although he almost never use it, he DOES put them on cards to keep effect for later uses that is for combat or outside. Writting of Light is a support kind of magic that can heal wounds and some other stuff, but Luko is far from using it all the time, he would rather keep it has a last resort or to save someone.

No. Only Wendy can use healing magic.

Enhanced Speed: Although is not has fast as Jet; his running speed is “Slightly” faster than any other human, and by slightly i dont mean alot…

YOU MUST EXPLAIN THESE THINGS.

Enhanced Reflexes: With his speed enhanced a little, so does his reflexes. The way to avoid enemie’s attack or magic will make this perk usefull.

Okay, that's apparently it. 

I... I cannot even.

Anyone who wants to make a Fairy Tail OC, never make them related to a main character by blood directly. Just don't.

listing to port

did anyone want an author’s commentary for my fic “The List”?

well, here’s one anyway. MacGyver and FL comments below.

(notes short enough to be readable. I did try keeping notes for Fulgent Engineering, but those are scarily long now.) 

The thought process was simple enough: I'd already written "A little honest extortion", where Jack figures out he's heading for the Neath, and I'd done the introduction to "Vertere", where he meets up with MacGyver. All I had to do here was get from one to the other.

I've always been very fond of "Brian's Return," and Jack is a materialist; the concept meshed very nicely with his character. He doesn't know much about the Neath, isn't specifically aware that he's going to be trapped in a whole different century, but he does know that what he brings along might be the last he'll ever see of Surface culture. With the additional complication of making purchases for a friend/fellow spy/something-or-other who he rightly suspects to have left his old life behind with nothing more than a couple of good knives and an extra shirt.

(I have not yet settled on a Correspondence shorthand for "Fulgent Engineering", but a sigil for "the understood loss; and a price beyond" is a strong candidate. The state of the Tireless Mechanic's Surface jacket in "Alike in Dignity" was a precisely considered detail.)

SAKs

Well, yeah. The folks on MacGyver Online, anti-slash though they may be, have done a terrific job of cataloguing minor details in the series; I'd have had to find another and less specific way of writing this scene if they hadn't listed all the SAK statistics for the Informed Clerk to spout off.

Jack's got the gant-coloured knife. Which is initially mistaken for a Spartan (because that's what they used while shooting "Serenity"), but as per the Parabola sequences in "Fulgent Engineering", is actually a genuine 19th century article. Or a dreamed-up version of the real thing, at least. Wonder what happens when Mac- or his Reflection- gets it back.

When Jack started thinking of people in Adjective-Noun formation...I don't know. I suspect, though, that it's a little more common in the Fallen London universe than just in the Neath.

Camping Gear

It just tickled me to suggest that Jack's reaction to safety gear is to say "Safety? Who needs safety?" I'm tempted to write the Doomed Camping Trip in which all of Mac's improvisations happen entirely because Jack's a cheapskate and everything he buys is broken.

Guitar

Over in Tanista's Neath stories, Penny Parker is playing Lois Lane on "The New Adventures of Lois and Clark". This is a sound suggestion and I went with it.

Jack's taste in bad newspapers, aside from setting up the later punchline, is probably something that'll be relevant either in "Deep Romantic" or "Vertere" in good time. Even if it's only as a joke.

Watches

Pete doesn't know nearly as much as he could about the Neath (and almost none of what he does know made it to MacGyver; Pete, much to his regret, was hoping it'd be a case of 'least said, soonest mended'). But he is, at minimum, aware that there's an Underzee.

Which is more that Jack did, but he can take a hint.

Tape deck

Heh. I went to a lot of trouble chewing over which one would be best.

Jack is being an optimistic idiot, of course; you can't recharge the Sony WM-F107 without several hours of sunlight. Of course, you can also carry sunlight in a box in the Neath, so he's lucked out there. (It also has a battery hookup, which Mac will no doubt be able to sort out.)

Making Jack a draft dodger seemed an obvious opposition, once I'd had the idea to bring in Toberman (he's from the MacGyver episode "The Spoilers": seemed the most likely candidate among Mac's friends to give a crafting hobby to.) And it seems to work pretty well for his character anyway.

Cassettes

And the Grateful Dead backstory let me set up Jack as someone who's been involved in bootlegs for ages (the tales of bootlegger Grateful Dead fans are something epic).

I've listened to all of these musicians at one point or another while writing "Ecstasy". Helps me get into the mood for writing these two. The epic-length "Brothers in Arms" tape will be immediately understandable to anyone who has ever seen that episode of Miami Vice with Bruce in it.

Clothing

More borrows from the official forums again. Plus a chance to follow up on Cynthia (several stories). I like Cynthia.

Another fic concept for some later date, Mac going on the run. I know I already did that a bit with my non-Ecstasy story "here is a memory", but that was more an exercise in how far it's possible to push my protagonist before he ceases to be recognisable.

Come to think of it, perhaps I could combine it with the Camping Trip From Hell as per above.

Guitar redux

Penny writes herself. I just put it to keyboard.

Books

So. Desert Island Discs stipulation: no one gets to pick the Bible or Shakespeare for their one book, because that'd be dull.

Plus my awareness of Tolstoy's opinion of the Bard (as mentioned in a very entertaining essay by Orwell), plus the idea of Murdoc implementing a plan that would have terrified Mac but hardly fazes Jack...the chain of thought here was pretty smooth.

Chow

For the record: I am completely unable to imagine Jack as a Seeker in any way, shape, or form. Besides, the rhythm of the fic worked better when I underplayed something.

Also, there's some character development happening. Not that Jack's exactly pleased about this.

Gemstones

Nikki Carpenter's adventure as a gemstone expert was from her first story, "Fire and Ice". Easy thought process. And she gets to point out all the practical concerns Jack ought to be considering, which I'm not on the grounds of being too dull to include. Writing is also about knowing what *not* to write.

Plane

Jack Dalton flies planes. This is as integral to the character as engineering for the Innocent Spy. Therefore: ouch.

He has an...unusual relationship with Kate (see "Rock the Cradle" for the details on this- even if you're a Failbetter fan and ignoring all these MacGyver continuity comments, watch it anyway, because it's hilarious. Lots of banter, the Innocent Spy commits atrocities with duck tape. And despite the plot hinging on Jack's heterosexual shagging, it also manages to be very gay.

Like, very gay.)

Duck tape

Natural bookend, if you're starting with the SAKs.

Another scene inspired by the "Deep Romantic" plotting with Tanista; Jack has a mum, we had to dispose of the mum to get him down to the Neath, how shall we get rid of her? Witness protection! (Consistent with the MacGyver episode that she was in: "Ma Dalton," funnily enough). 

I think this scene was about the right note of sentiment and a mutual acknowledgement that, deep down, both of them are pretty selfish so-and-sos who just aren't interested in the other's life. Like mother, like son. Also, Nikki's pretty smart.

Spent ages agonising over the ending. I may yet rewrite it. But the quiet shift of emphasis, from the stuff he's been accumulating all story to who he's expecting to find?

I confess, I am rather proud of that part...

[drink-n-watch]

I’ve been whining about this in all my posts this week – but man is it cold. It’s the type of cold that sort of threatens you from the other side of the window. None of this has anything to do with the episode. I’m from Montreal, we complain about the weather. It’s a hobby.

Share. Australia’s breaking all time heat records around the country and even though I love hot weather right now I can’t even run my computer without air-con because it keeps over-heating. Not to mention, the water coming out of the cold taps is hotter than the water in our hot water system most of the day. Hopefully we both get a bit of relief next week. I guess it could be worse…

I guess everyone has their own problems….

Anywho, here we are at episode 3. Egen-dono, a Yokai observer from the Underworld is sent to Abeno and Hanae’s school hoping  learn methods and techniques to improve education in the Underworld. However, Abano is starting to get really suspicious that the powers of the Underworld are plotting something greater. Considering that Ripou’s his boss, I’m surprised Abeno hasn’t sunk into full fledged paranoia yet.

Is it really paranoia when there are plots afoot and Ripou usually is playing with him? Now if we want to discuss paranoia, I’d say Hanae has a real case of it this week given how wound up he gets as he micro-analyses every interaction he has with Abeno. Of course, given it is played for laughs I don’t think we are supposed to see this as anything more than Hanae being Hanae. Of course, I kind of like this focus on Abeno’s job within the underworld because this was definitely not looked at enough in season one and it is by far the most interesting part of the show.

how can you suspect this guy…no wait, I see it now…

This time we get to stick to the mundane world. I like coming back to it every once in a while. That way it makes the underworld look even more spectacular by contrast.

Agreed. After two episodes pretty much exclusively in the underworld, it was good to remember that Hanae isn’t very good at keeping seeing yokai to himself. There were some fairly amusing moments in the classroom as a result.

Speaking of classrooms. You know, I found it really charming how amazed and enthusiastic Egen was about the school. It seems the underworld still has some improvements to make in that area. Education is one of those luxuries we think is annoying until we can’t have it. And the school system really is one of our greatest achievements. I think that was nicely illustrated.

They did deal with that nicely though it is probably just me but I find the pro-school theme running through so many anime a little intrusive sometimes. Every character is thrilled to go to school. Even aliens, visitors from other worlds, and supernatural creatures want to go to school. I’m very pro-education and I do think some positivity about schools is important but at times anime carries it to the extremes.

I’m a sucker but I got a bit sentimental at the PE class. A well rounded and balanced education for all, is essential. You go big bird monsters thingy!

look at these happy students

It was much more like a school set slice of life episode than anything we’ve seen so far from this show. I must say, I enjoyed the little breather. We quickly got pulled back into the main storyline though.

I did love how they managed to draw this seemingly random aside into the narrative they established in the first two episodes. While we’re still kind of getting episodic issues there feels like there’s a greater direction this season.

So the big beast creature is actually the Justice. Ripou is the Legislator and it seems there some potential turmoil between the Mononokean and the Executive. This is turning out surprisingly involved.

It does seem more complicated. I’m looking forward to finding out why and what and how though.

I,m still not entirely sure what the Mononokean is

I enjoyed Hanae and Abeno’s relationship. Hanae really is like a little kid mind you. I thought it was hilarious that Abeno was just being his usual aloof self while Hanae imagined he was being scorned and ignored. They looked like an old married couple.

I also loved Hanae’s problem solving skills at work. He thinks he may have accidentally insulted his boss and a guy who can beat him up. No problem, just run out the door and lock him on the roof. This should have no repercussions whatsoever!

This was a hilarious moment. I absolutely loved it. Hanae really is very silly sometimes but it adds some needed levity to the show. Abeno is far too serious and dry so even though he’s interesting, he couldn’t carry the show alone. Then again, too much Hanae would be too much. It is definitely the dynamic between the two that carries it.

he was…just not on purpose. Ouch!

So, are we supposed to think that crow may have been a spy or something?

I’d say now you are being paranoid except clearly the episode was leading us in that direction. But then it seemed like Abeno dismissed it. Still, it does seem like too much attention was spent on that crow to not be anything.

The bigger storyline is continuing to take shape with surprising consistency. I think they need to level out Hanae and Abeno’s personalities a bit as they tend to be a little too caricatural but otherwise I am really enjoying this series so far. Not enough fuzzy obviously.

And that would definitely be my episode complaint this week. Other than the first scene Fuzzy is nowhere to be seen in this episode. Admittedly, we had more than enough other stuff going on so it isn’t as though things go dull, but, I want more Fuzzy.

for some context, check out past entries:

◆Out Of Character Information◆

Name/Age: Jan, 20 years old Preferred Pronouns: She/Her Timezone: GMT+1 Desired Character: Ashley Baldwin

◆Character Information◆

(1)  What pronouns will your character be using? Would you like to list their sexuality at this time?: 

She/Her. As for her sexuality, no, I don’t want to list her sexuality for the time being; I don’t know where I want to go with this character yet.

(2)  Any changes or comments? Ashley’s FC is going to be Phoebe Tonkin. ACCEPTED

(3) Why this character? 

My reason for choosing Ashley is simple. Considering that I basically tip-toed my way around vampires in the last season and strictly focused on everything that involved werewolves, I wanted to switch up my game for this season. Her biography was probably the first or second one that I checked out and I immediately felt muse for her. Due to the fact that she’s a blood doll, she’s always surrounded by vampires; but Ashley’s also human and therefore not necessarily depended on them nor restricted by the disadvantages that are linked to being a vampire. I guess I just wanted to play a character that isn’t a supernatural, but has plenty of business with the fantasy basterds.

(4) Interpret this character: 

“Sounds naive respecting someone who doesn’t give a shit about you.”

Ouch.

Seems familiar, doesn’t it? If anything, Ashley Baldwin is the epitome of naivety—or used to be at the beginning of her grand blood doll career, anyway.

GENERAL TIDBITS: Before Ashley joined the vampire squad, I imagine her to have been this spunky, curious and carefree brat. I will headcanon that, starting at the age of around six, she’s always been interested in fashion and in the process of creating something. Considering that she grew up in the northern part of Chile Village, her family was too poor to afford luxurious fabrics and garments and as a result, the girl found other ways to entertain herself. You would often see her exploring mountains of garbage from morning till evening; and at the end of the day, Ashley would present a dress made out of dirty rags or crowns made out of broken pottery. She was someone who was able to make the best out of the worst, saw potential in things that everyone else deemed useless. She was a child who was completely isolated from the world outside of Chile. In other words, she was quite adorable, yes, but also painfully ignorant. She’d never encountered evil before, although Ol’ Milly made sure that she was familiar with the idea of it. Vampires, werewolves, magic — each of these were considered evil, but also myths that actually didn’t exist. LOL. Poor baby girl.

I want to headcanon that Ashley’s first visit to Brailston was one of the most traumatic experiences in her life. Despite the warnings of her village comrades, she proudly went to the big city in her best get-up: Which was as pretty as a  kitchen towel, really. Her father accompanied her, for he knew that going to Brailston would turn out to be anything but wonderful for Ashley. Et voilà — the people of Brailston sent a reality check prescription her way in the most despicable of ways. Very, very despicable, mind you. She messed with the wrong people (which were of upper-class status) and whatever happened after that is a topic that nobody dares to bring up. Long story short (and it WILL be a long story, but I want to elaborate on this IC), one bloody event led to another and Ashley suddenly found herself in the arms of a vampire who brought her to Night Haven. Alone, without her father. ASHLEY & VAMPIRES: At first, Ashley felt great when she was told that her blood made her a special snowflake. She was basically a nobody all her life and as important as mud on a fresh pair of leather boots. Coupled with the traumatic events that happened in Brailston, she had nowhere to go anymore, so she stayed in Night Haven. She was genuinely satisfied about the fact that she wasn’t nothing in this place, that there was worth in her and that she was needed. Each vampire bite reminded her of this, hence she craved them as a form of acknowledgement. She felt safe and was naive enough to believe that her blood was kind of like a life insurance; nobody would harm her because it was too precious.

It was only after quite some time had passed, however, that Ashley became aware of how foolish she was. In fact, there was no strict system which guaranteed her safety among the vampires. There were times when she was fed from without her consent; more often than not, she had to hold her tongue in order to avoid imminent death. She realized, that she wasn’t the kind of “special” that she’d imagined; she was only a human blood bag that was expected to be available at all times, ready for the taking. And easily replaceable.

Ashley realized that she was very restricted in her freedom. May it be freedom of speech or being free to go wherever she wanted —  the lively glow and enthusiam she used to radiate have watered down considerably. Intrinsically, she’s become a ghost of her past self. She is aware of this, but does nothing to change her current condition because then she’d admit that her life so far was nothing but a failure. A life that never belonged to her, a life that wasn’t worth much. She secretly yearns to break free from Night Haven and the vampiric life style, but doesn’t know how to do that. Ashley is a pretty lonely creature and I think deep down, all she wants is a proper family that appreciates her efforts and gives her unconditional love. She is tired of having to act all strong and tough (which is necessary if she doesn’t want to get swallowed whole). She’s a romantic at heart and actually such a softie who wants her share of cuddles and kisses at night.

ASHLEY & TRENDSETTER: In order to escape the harsh reality that is the life of a blood doll, she pours whatever is left of her into her hobby and passion: Fashion. The only thing in her life that remained a constant, as well as her curiosity. She is constantly trying to come up with new trends and studies the things she is given carefully. I imagine that she would love to travel and find out about more, diverse beauty standards. She is very open-minded and patient for that matter. Due to her circumstances though, she can’t travel as she pleases and usually asks some of the vampires for Memory Sharing (then again, a lot of vampires lived mostly in caves only HA, too bad Ashley bby). Needless to say, she doesn’t exactly dislike the concept of the Athorian monarchy, but she dislikes all the upper-class people who are involved. She hates them with a great passion and always feels amazing whenever they copy her. It’s kind of this “HA, you’re copying and admiring the piece of shit you made fun of” feeling.

ASHLEY & FUTURE IDEAS: - I want her to meet people who are not vampires!!! (magic pls) - I’d like to think that Ashley and the vampire who brought her to Night Haven have a close relationship, even to this day; they’re also the only ones who are allowed to bite her neck, this role can be taken by one of the playable vamps - I want events to happen that finally make her try to get the hell out of the vampire hoe club; they’ve got to be intense and shake her take on the world (ex: she finds someone she wants to settle down with, or a feeding goes terribly wrong, or she generally meets people who can broaden her horizon; it’s because she thinks that staying in Night Haven is her only option) - I really want to see her explore the world and find inspiration for her work; she’s so passionate and talented and should get the opportunity to become a designer, she deserves to thrive damn it!

◆ Interview Questions ◆

(1) Question One: Have you ever had a horrifying feeding situation where you feared for your life? What happened? If not, are you scared of experiencing one?

→ “No.” A pause. “No,” she repeated, and this time it sounded genuine. “I’ve never had a horrifying feeding situation.” Before she proceeded, Ashley’s gaze subtly scanned the room, watching, assessing whether any of the vampires were in sight. None. “I’m in good hands here. The vampires that come to me are polite. Friendly. I appreciate that. They wouldn’t harm me.” (2) Question Two: Have you visited your friends and family in Chile Village now that you are a Blood Doll for vampires?

→ Ashley’s eyes widened. “Pardon?” The gentle smile that usually rested upon her lips vanished and her posture became rigid. Raw emotions coasted over the soft lines of her face. “I don’t have a family waiting in Chile for me anymore.” Her accent became thicker, which added a harshness to her words, albeit unintended. “The people of my village would — they would…” She looked down at her fingers and forced a pained smile. Coward. “They’d rather see me burn in the main square than welcome a vampire slut into their home.” ◆Writing Sample:◆

“Hmm. Now that I get a closer look at you, I have to admit that it’s true what they say about you. You’re quite the beauty.”

Cold fingers brushed her hair behind her left shoulder, then placed fleeting touches along her jawline, down her neck, over that very special and delicate spot. The vampire appraised Ashley with hunger glazing in his eyes. Like two needles they seemed, sharp and dangerous, ready to spoil their prey with painful pinpricks, ready to spoil her. She slapped his hand away, then began to loosen the sleeves of her dress.

“Compliments won’t make me willing to give you more than what was promised. You paid for my wrists; you will get my wrists and nothing else.” Although her actions were daring, her expression remained soft and gentle and caused for the vampire to tolerate her behavior. He wasn’t pleased, however.

“Well, well. Brave, aren’t you.” The vampire tilted his head, a mocking smirk creeping on his lips. “Or… just stupid?” To prove his point, he closed the already small space between them even more. “Here you are, with your back pressed against the wall, trapped between my arms. Who do you think would care, if I took more than what I initally asked for? You? Yes, of course. Anybody else?” He shook his head. “No.”

At this point, Ashley had stopped to move and couldn’t help but to return his gaze. Her eyes widened, her lips parted. Fear crawled into her bones, fear and shame for she knew that he was right. She was aware of the fact that creatures like him were able to crush her easily, that she was walking along the path of danger and madness. Nobody would care about her discomfort, nobody would even notice. He could take her however he wanted, he could even take her life; it didn’t matter. She had no true say here, no true power.

“I see that you understand. Brave, it is.” The vampire chuckled and pulled away from her. Instead, he sat down on the antique couch and patted the seat next to him. “Come here. I’m in a good mood. I will take what I’ve paid for and nothing else.” Inhale. Exhale. She took a few deep breaths until her heartbeat was steady again. “As you wish.”
