Responding to this blog with both interest and/or announcing you have submitted your story will also help to keep track of stories submitted, but tagging @pedrocontestsrus should suffice!
Prompts - Choose one of the following prompts to create your 2000+ word short story including Pedro, himself, or one of the characters he portrays. You can write in any tense or any person. Whichever prompt you choose must include all of the elements from that prompt in the story in some way, shape or form. NSFW stories are certainly welcome but not required. Multiple submissions ARE allowed.

Additional (or maybe repetitive?) Info:

- State which prompt you have chosen
- Pedro Pascal or one of his characters must be a key aspect of the story
- You may write in 1st, 2nd or 3rd person
- All "must includes" of the prompt you choose must be present in your story. It can be a small, fleeting part of the story or a main aspect. Your choice.
- 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be announced and winners will be tagged. All entries will be thanked and applauded.
- Use the tag #PedroHalloween2023 and also tag @PedroContestsRUs
Have fun, be creative and make it your own!
Hopefully this takes off because I think it could be a lot of fun!! 🎃 👻 😍 🍬 🥵 🔪 🍸 HAPPY WRITING!!

so im sure everyones fully well aware of the magic 8 ball site fob is using to promote a contest to win some tickets to see them in nashville. the little 8ball widget theyve got in browser is also modeled on the physical 8ball that they had in the vip merch packages for tourdust's first leg, which is cool! but of particular note is the way that, to fill out the contest form, you have to pick your favorite fall out boy songs. and the sheer breadth of what is allowed is...interesting? it's not cohesive by any means, but it is really wild the selection of songs they have here because not all of them are fob songs. in fact, quite a few of them aren't.
i went directly to the source code and got a full list of all possible songs that you could input (which you can check for yourself by right-clicking and selecting "view source"). i'm going to list them here for archival purposes, with a few notes/explanations cause some of these are WILD.
there are 187 songs total listed.
bolded songs indicate songs that are demos or never received an official release
italicized songs are songs by other bands
underlined songs indicate songs that are covers
songs with an asterisk beside them (*) indicate they are from patrick's solo catalogue. two asterisks (**) are for pete's.
additional commentary by me will be [in brackets]
20 Dollar Nose Bleed 27 7 Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen) 7-9 Legendary A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More "Touch Me" A Nice Myth [one of the earliest fall out boy demos, found on their first ep, and only the casette version at that] Allie* Alone Together Alpha Dog America's Suitehearts American Beauty/American Psycho (song) American Made Art of Keeping Up Disappearances As Long as I Know I'm Getting Paid* Austin, We Have a Problem Baby Annihilation Bad Side of 25* Bang the Doldrums Beat It Big Hype* Bishops Knife Trick Bob Dylan Bounce [this is a song that came out on then-Decaydance labelmates The Cab's debut record, Whisper War, which patrick produced. he has writing credit and also is credited with background vocals (and also shows up in the music video)] Caffeine Cold Calm Before the Storm Centuries Champagne for My Real Friends, Real Pain for My Sham Friends Champion Check Your Phone** Chicago is So Two Years Ago Church City in a Garden Coast (It's Gonna Get Better)* Coffee's for Closers Cryptozoology* Cute Girls* Cyanide** [this is a nothing,nowhere song that pete did some spoken word parts and backing vocals on] Dance Miserable* Dance, Dance Dead on Arrival Dear Future Self (Hands Up) Death Valley Deep Blue Love* [song patrick did for the indie short film "spell"] Demigods Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes Don't You Know Who I Think I Am? Electric Touch [the (in?)famous taylor swift song patrick featured on] Eternal Summer Everybody Wants Somebody* Explode* Fake Out Fame Less than Infamy Favorite Record Fellowship of the Nerd [this is an alternate title for world's not waiting, as far as i can tell] Flu Game Flu Game [yes flu game is listed twice for some reason] Footprints in the Snow [demo from the Llamania ep] Fourth of July From Now on We Are Enemies G.I.N.A.S.F.S. Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying (Do Your Part to Save the Scene and Stop Going to Shows) Ghostbusters (I'm Not Afraid) Golden Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy Greed* Grenade Jumper Grow Up and Be Kids [this song is on The Cab's sophomore album Symphony Soldier, which release after they left decaydance. nonetheless, pete does have some writing credits on it. give it a listen and you'll hear for yourself in the first 10 seconds or so] Growing Up Hand Crushed by a Mallet [this is a remix of the 100gecs song of the same name; patrick did some vocals for it] Hand of God Have I Got a Gift for You* [song patrick did for the horror movie black friday] Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet Heartbreak Feels So Good Heaven's Gate Heaven, Iowa Hold Me Like a Grudge Hold Me Tight or Don't Homesick at Space Camp Honorable Mention Hot to the Touch, Cold on the Inside Hum Hallelujah I Am My Own Muse I Don't Care
I Got Nothing, But You Got Something [this is the one that really perplexes me. there's no evidence of this song actually existing, other than an unverified genius post and an article on a single fandom wiki. it is inexplicably listed here despite its very existence being questionable at best.]
I Slept with Someone in Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me) I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me & You) I've Been Waiting [this is technically a lil peep song with fall out boy as a feature] I've Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song) I've Got All This Ringing in My Ears and None on My Fingers Immortals Irresistible It's Hard to Say 'I Do', When I Don't It's Not a Side Effect of the Cocaine, I Am Thinking It Must Be Love Jet Pack Blues Just One Yesterday Lake Effect Kid (song) Lake Shore Drive [this is a song patrick covered on the piano at wrigley, first night of tourdust] Love from the Other Side Love Will Tear Us Apart Love, Selfish Love* Love, Sex, Death Lullabye Mad at Nothing* Miss Missing You Moving Pictures My Heart Is the Worst Kind of Weapon My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up) New Dreams [this is a bonus track on pax am days, a naked rayguns cover] Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner Novocaine Of All the Gin Joints in All the World One of Those Nights [another song from the cab's whisper war. this one has patrick doing vocals very prominently] Open Happiness [this was a huge collaborative piece done for a coca cola commercial. patrick was on it along with big names like cee lo green, janelle monae, and labelmates travie mccoy and brendon urie] Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued Parker Lewis Can't Lose (But I'm Gonna Give It My Best Shot) Past Life [llamania ep] Pavlove People Never Done a Good Thing* Porcelain* Pretty in Punk Rat a Tat Reinventing the Wheel to Run Myself Over Roxanne Run Dry (X Heart X Fingers)* San Diego [this is a blink-182 song that patrick did some writing for] Saturday Saturday Night Again* Save Rock and Roll (song) Sending Postcards from a Plane Crash (Wish You Were Here) She's My Winona Short, Fast, and Loud Snitches and Talkers Get Stitches and Walkers So Good Right Now So Much (For) Stardust (song) So Sick [this is a song patrick has exclusively covered live, so it's a fascinating inclusion] Sober [another blink-182 song patrick did some writing for] Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year Star 67 Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea Sugar, We're Goin Down Summer Days (song) [this is a martin garrix song patrick lent some vocals to] Sunshine Riptide Super Fade Switchblades and Infidelity Tell That Mick He Just Made My List of Things to Do Today The "I" In Lie* The (After) Life of the Party The (Shipped) Gold Standard The Carpal Tunnel of Love The Kids Aren't Alright The Kintsugi Kid (Ten Years) The Last of the Real Ones The Mighty Fall The Music or the Misery The Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes The Phoenix The Pink Seashell The Pros and Cons of Breathing The Take Over, the Breaks Over The World's Not Waiting (For Five Tired Boys in a Broken Down Van) This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race This City* Thnks fr th Mmrs (song) [for some reason the site specifies song here, despite that not being necessary. the only other times this distinction is relevant is when songs share a title with their albums, i.e. save rock and roll] Thriller Tiffany Blews Twin Skeleton's (Hotel in NYC) Uma Thurman Untitled 1 (Colorado Song) Untitled 2 (Jakus Song) [both of these are recently released tttyg era demos] W.A.M.S. We Didn't Start the Fire We Don’t Take Hits, We Write Them [this is a song that famously was only ever performed live. we don't have a studio recording or even a demo, as only live versions exist] We Were Doomed from the Start (The King is Dead) West Coast Smoker What a Catch, Donnie What a Time To Be Alive What's This? When I Made You Cry* Where Did the Party Go Wilson (Expensive Mistakes) Wrong Side of Paradise [llamania ep] XO You're Crashing, But You're No Wave Young and Menace Young Volcanoes Yule Shoot Your Eye Out
in conclusion i have no idea who compiled this list. it doesn't include every song patrick and pete have ever touched (notice the lack of gym class heroes, cobra starship, and hush sound discography) but it has a really weird selection of songs. i mean, blink songs patrick wrote on?? its bizarre.
anyway do you think if we mass request swing me by the rafters they'll have to do it

Fic Finder
~*~
1. In search of another fic! This time I'm looking for a fic where wwx was taken in by lqr and grows up in cloud recesses. I think there's a scene where an adult/older teen wwx requests that lqr formally adopt him, or lqr asks to formally adopt wwx. Either way, many heartwarming feelings! I think lwj might also formally request to speak to lqr about courting wwx in this fic. Thank you!
FOUND? All will be well when the day is done by abCEE (T, 76k, wangxian, Canon Divergence, Fix It, Not Jiang Family Friendly, not JFM or YZY friendly, Definitely not YZY centric, Time Travel, Butterfly Effect, Madam Lán Lives, No Sunshot Campaign, Unreliable Narrator, not JC friendly, non-yunmeng WWX, Accidental Baby Acquisition, Good Uncle LQR, Happy Ending, WWX gets the love and care that he deserves from the very beginning, WWX Isn't Adopted by the Jiāngs, verbal and physical (c/o Zidian) abuse from YZY)
~*~
2. Hello. First time doing this so hope I'm doing it right. I'm looking for a fic I read ages ago but I can't remember the name. What I remember is that it's a Modern AU and Wei Ying was sent to boarding school (Gusu) where he was roomed with Lan Zhan. It was just him and he had a hard time adjusting before things slowly got better. He went home for the holidays and found out that he was blood related to Jiang Feingman and did not really handle that well and left home to go back to school. Last thing I remember happening is that he got tricked into picking up a call from JFM when he thought it was Yanli? If you know this fic, is really appreciate some help @cara-tanaka
FOUND? I want to stay with you by Naeme (T, 63k, WangXian, Modern AU, Slow Burn, High School, Age Progression, Family Secrets, Family Drama, Family Feels, Bonding, Mutual Pining)
~*~
3. Hello, I’m looking for a specific WangXian fic, similar to “shoot your shot -hot or knot”. It features dark Lans where Lan Xichen sets up a mating run for his brother and Wei Ying signs up for the money. I remember a scene where all the contestants are asked to line and sign a contract and someone tries to escape. He gets shot and the rest of the contestants are warned not to try to run away. I think Lan Zhan is a feral/dominant Alpha. I believe he killed a few other contestants before making his way to Wei Ying. Hope you’re able to find it! Please and thank you 😊 @confundo
FOUND! Five Fifteen by 3neetee (M, 11k, WangXian, Modern AU, A/B/O Dynamics, Alpha LWJ, Alpha WWX, Mating runs, Graphic Description, Violence, Dom/sub Undertones, Light Bondage, Rape/Non-con Elements, Alpha/Alpha, Implied Mpreg, Dark LWJ, Betrayal, Smut, Anal Sex, WWX likes to be called Omega, Dark lans, Twitter threadfic, Unreliable Narrator WWX) locked to archive members only
~*~
4. I’m looking for a Modaozushi Fanfic
I read this fanfic months ago. it is fic where wen qing asks for protection from wei ying, who is either a spirit or an immortal (he is definitely not human),for the wen remnants in exchange for their service for some time.
i think lan zhan (who was a winter lord or something) visits them after some time.
the story had not gone far when i had read it.
please help me find it.
FOUND? A Year and a Day by Admiranda (T, 11k, WIP, Unseelie AU, wwx is a fairy lord, making bargains with the fey, background wangxian, minor OCs, agenda: give wei wuxian some better siblings) the asker looking for the fic where WQ makes a bargain with WWX is likely looking for my Unseelie fic, in which WWX is the autumn Fey lord and LWJ is the winter prince. It is not cancelled, but the next chapter has been absolutely evil and refusing to write itself.
~*~
5. Hii I remember this fic that happened at Phoenix mountain hunt , the blindfolded kiss scene, where wwx knew it was lwj because chenqing or the resentment didn't attack lwj , cause it knew him (recognized him) or something like that. @karinasnowwwx
FOUND? No one else but you by chrisemrys (M, 17k, wangxian, canon divergence, First Kiss, Stolen Kiss, Love Confessions, Fix-It, Everyone Lives au, Semi sentient resentful energy, Golden Core Reveal, Fluff and Hurt/Comfort, First Time)
~*~
6. pls help me find this fic
A) i am doing this for the first time, Thank you already for all the efforts. i lost a twitter fic i read ago and forgot to save. Its info that i remember is as- TW // NSFW, MPREG..............it was a omegaverse types fic, lan zhan slept with wei ying, they did stuff. lan zhan ran away at night nd collapsed in the streets due to something related to omega-alpha thing, i dont exactly remember. then he's hospitalised for some time nd his brother lan huan stays with him. wei ying had no idea about lan zhan's conditions and lan huan thinks that lan zhan is in this condition because of wi ying so he starts hating him and tries his best to keep his brother away from wei ying......................they meet in a school programme again, where they play their guqin nd flute, towards the end wei ying is saved by lan zhan from an accident nd they r really close, again, lan zhan faints. lan huan comes, and takes lan zhan away. wei ying is pregnant nd wen wind knows it, she taks care of him. lan huan hides this info from lan zhan, who discovers it only when he overheard wen qing and lan huan talking when wen qing came to fetch lan zhan because wei ying's condition was getting worse without his a/b/o partner (doctor advised it). then, lan zhan goes to wei ying nd comfortshim, he sleeps but when he wakes up, he doesn't accept lan zhan nd technically hates him but they start taking things slowly nd improve. after a while, they r normal, they live in wen qing's apartment, lan zhan often feels distant and stays awake alone at night, wei ying is worried for him. he takes best care of wei ying but not himself. one day wen qing visits wei ying when lan zhan is out and tells him and she cam smell her scent nd not lan zhan's and that might be reason why lan zhan doesn't feel fine, because he is in other person's territory. wei ying calls lan qiren and asks help for a new place. rest, i dont remember, sorry. this is killing my brain
B) tw//nsfw it was a twt soc med au, wy was a singer/idol, got laid in a party(bday mayb), finds lan zhan later, lan zhan is the man. towards the end, he releases a whole song/album regarding his story, from getting laid to falling in love with lan zhan. in the mean time when he was preparing it as a bday gift, he gave less time to lz and he thought he was ignoring him. that's all i remember sorry, its stuck so bad, i cant forget it. there was a cover for the single/album too i dont remember @dee-s085

FOUND! Twitter Thread by babyofgusu
~*~
7. Hi, I’m so sorry to have to ask this, it’s frankly embarrassing, but here we are. I was reading one of the fics you recommended for an itmf (I think the original request was something with soulbonding) and my app closed. Now you would think finding it again would be easy, but I had scrolled a few months back by the time I found it and now fro the life of me can’t find it. So here’s the premise: CQL post canon, WWX wakes after banishing a spirit at an old manor and finds himself in pain. Turns out he and LWJ got cursed to be close, when they’re touching the pain recedes. I got maybe halfway through where they decided to visit the manor since the library didn’t deliver results. Would you be so kind to direct me to the correct fic/itmf post? You Guys are amazing, have a nice weekend ❤️ @elitharavenclaw
Hi, #7 of the last fic finder, sadly those fics are both not it. Theres not really more detail to tell though, but I will try. WWX is found by two rogue cultivators who treat him fine, he travels back to cloud recess for 2 days with little apple, sizhui and Jingyi help researching, LQR is disapproving of wangxians “unseemlieness” though he knows they’re cursed, they do check the forbidden section of the library but without success. Hope this helps.

8. Hello darlings! I'd like to ask for your help finding a fic that i cannot find anymore... it's a wangxian AU set in 1800 England, kinda. I think wei ying is a fan of this mysterious writer who wrote a fantasy novel and of course the writer is lan zhan (or viceversa?). It's a 5 chapter fic written like it's jane austen's book! And the writer added extract of this book wei ying is a fan of! It's an amazing fic with a fanart of this book. I was sure that the fics name was the monster of yiling, but i cannot find it .

9. Hi! I'd like help finding this one fic. It's set in the cloud recesses during the lectures, LWJ is cursed by a group of Elders so he acts like the perfect Lan (or something) and WWX is the only one who notices, I remember he tried to bring it up to others (or at least Lan Qiren) but no one believed him, Only LXC does (once he returns - from somewhere, I don't know where). I also remember that a bit form LWJ perspective mentioning that they wanted to curse LXC too, but it would be too obvious. @i-like-snakes-and-spiders

11. I’m looking for the Fic where Wei Ying goes missing in high school and is homeless. Lan Zhan finds him at a coffee shop and buys him coffee and doesn’t recognize him at first. He gives him a coat. He brings Wei Ying to stay at his place. I believe wangji might be a single parent and have pet bunnies.

She then goes after the Jin by being engaged to Meng Yao. LWJ is "investigating" WWX because LXC just wants to make sure A-Yao's fiance really loves him. @xxqiao

hi! i was wondering if you could write duncan and courtney dating headcannons with a fem reader on the show? (separate) if not that's ok!
Awww no, it is okay! Thank you so much for the request, enjoy!<33
DATING COURTNEY HEADCANONS
Tumblr media
From what we know about Courtney, it wasn’t hard to guess that her type was someone contrasting her.
So you were a bit of a cheeky contestant.
Okay, “a bit” was an understatement. Courtney didn’t like to admit it, but she found jubilation in your many ploys on the show.
Because of them though, she’d be on the assumption that you weren’t taking the competition seriously (even though you weren’t actually there to win the money), but you appreciate her reminding you to focus on the game and her helpful tips.
She wouldn’t want to openly say you guys are in a relationship as she’s aware that some people may try to exploit that for their own motives, but makes it clear that you’re off limits.
At night, you often share a bunk with her. Courtney would insist to be the little spoon, all the way through to the morning with her head on your chest.
Your darling Princess!
She loves sharing school stories with you.
“They actually had to rush her to the ER! Can you believe the manners some people have? How much of a litterbug do you have to be to throw your juice box out of a window from the fourth floor? We have bins for a reason!”
“Woah... So your teacher got a concussion from someone doing that?”
“Yeah! It sounds pathetic, but it’s what happened! The school assigned me to be in charge of delivering work from her and delivering notices to her. Makes sense since I was the only qualified student to take up that responsibility while still ace all my classes!”
She’s also fond of discussing hair with you and you play with hers and vice versa.
You like giving her little plaits, ponytails or a bun as high as it can go.
Additionally, she tries persuading you to do karaokes with her.
“It’s way better if we don’t have any instruments! You have nothing to hide behind and we’ll get used to being vulnerable with each other!” she smiled when she said it.
Looks like that couldn’t apply to her,“Oh, man...”
Though she’s a perfectionist, she loves complimenting you a lot.
“If you took that cap off your head and wore a headband instead, you’d look even more adorable! Would you do it for me at least?”
And her occasional feedback.
“What do you mean you haven’t read a single book this entire year!?” she jumps to her feet, horrified.
“Courtney, relax! It’s not a big deal.” you try to assure her with a grin.
She was more shaken at your presumably clueless behaviour to reading,“No, it is a big deal! You can’t just have everything on the outside and nothing in here!” she taps a tense finger to the side of her head,“My girlfriend’s gotta have brains with her beauty! I’m not dating no dummy!”
So she ordered you to sit down on the entrance steps of the Killer Bass cabin while she searched for a novel to give you- girl brought ten.
Out of her choices, she decided to provide you with Mercy Among The Children.
“There!” she hands you the clean copy, no crease or wrinkle, like all brand new,“You will read all of that and when you’re done, you will answer ten summary questions that I came up with to show me how much you learnt. And I will know if your answers are accurate, because I happened to give a presentation on this very book! I did it with ease thanks to my experience as a CIT.” her CIT talks got tedious very quickly, however if it made her happy, you didn’t want to take that away from her.
Therefore you gave something of your own instead,“What if I don’t know how to read?” you knew such question would aggravate her.
She shakes her head in disbelief, perfect autumn hair swaying,“Oh, you’re gonna have to do a lot better than that! You read the fine print of the contract to participate, didn’t you?”
Nope, but let’s pretend you did.
After a few seconds of “reading”, you call her name, to where she sat next to you, watching.
“What’s on your mind now?”
“I uh...” you turn to the back of the book, eyes scanning over the blurb,“Kinda don’t like the voice in my head narrating this. Could you read it to me?”
It seemed this request had halted her brain for a moment as she had stared at you with eyelids split apart again before her loving reprimand frolicked in the air,“Are you crazy? (Y/N), you know I love you, but I can’t do that! You gotta do this on your own, get used to reading in your head! How will you do in an exam when you have to stay quiet? I refuse to hear you getting disqualified over something as little as that!”
She’s so irresistible when she gets worked up,“Then I’ll transfer to your school so I can hear your voice everyday and be sure to pass my next exam.”
Her aim to lecture you had evaporated,“Oh wow...“ her eyebrows sprung back and she couldn’t believe herself for laughing at your not so futile charm,“Okay okay, just this once!” she declares, gently taking back the novel with both hands so it was still open.
As Courtney’s elegant voice embellishes the passage written down on the pages, you make promise to yourself to continue reading it in your own time.
After all, you know she’s just looking out for you.🤎
DATING DUNCAN HEADCANONS
Tumblr media
You thought he asked you out as a joke, but he was serious.
Serious in love.
And he loved to be open about it. Not with words, but with his arm around you, calling your name.
He sprayed your hair for a day to see how green would look on you, however you got worried when it didn’t come out.
He would share stories from juvie and usually had an edible treat to give you as you talked. You always thought he had brought a stash of sweets, but looking at his luggage, you realise there was no way any high caliber food could survive in it.
“Mm, thanks Duncan! Where did you get this from?”
He winked,“Don’t worry about it.”
So you didn’t.
Duncan’s surprisingly very good at drawing; you use that talent as a couple’s activity.
He also likes drawing his initials on your arms with a marker, never forgetting to add a skull.
Loves playing with your hands and placing his one on your leg.
Sometimes you wear his shirt or use it as a blanket.
While Duncan wouldn’t really like to hug in public, he’d do gestures like rubbing your head or squishing your face.
He fantasises you someday getting a matching piercing, since you refuse to let him give you one.
“This nose piercing wasn’t painful, like a lot of wet wussies say, but it is a bit uncomfy for a few days. You sure you don’t want me to pierce ya? It’s free of charge~”
The treatment for the infection won’t be,“No thanks! I might decide to pierce my ears!”
“Ear piercing?” his face scrunched like the choice was boring, but his voice held hope,“Where exactly?”
“The lobe would be nice... But I’d also want to get one on the inside! Like industrial!”
“Now you’re talking.” Needless to say, he approved of those ones.
Duncan’s a night owl, so found his favourite part of the day being at night, when everyone else was certainly asleep. You two would go out to a different part of Camp Wawankwa every time to breathe in the wildlife air and have conversation crafted for the dark.
The first nights, you were hesitant. Your chest was tight. It was hard to enjoy the secluded moment with Duncan when your mind was racing with panic.
“Oh Duncan... What if someone sees us? I don’t wanna get in trouble...”
“We won’t. We’re not doing anything wrong.” his calm tone of voice somewhat helped, head swivelling to the closest functioning camera duck tapped on a tree,“The worst Chris’ll do is tell us to go back inside, though knowing him, he probably doesn’t care.”
You trace a finger on his chest,“I wish I could sleep with you in your cabin. But the girls would be suspicious if my bed was empty, and let’s not talk about what the guys would do.”
“Keen, huh?” his unibrow forms a squiggly line as one of the separate eyebrow bones upreared, making you push him gently out on exposed instinct,“I’m pretty sure everyone knows about us by now and the guys would be fine if you crashed in for a night or two.”
“I know...” Duncan’s friends were nice guys. When they wanted to be,“I just don’t wanna make anyone uncomfortable.”
His laugh gets clogged by his nose,“You? Make anyone uncomfortable? Babe, trust me, unless your name starts with H and ends in arold, you don’t gotta worry about being alienated. If it means that much to you, we can wait until more people go home for us to share a bed.”
Ohh! You had forgotten about the competition and how it worked! Love makes you forget about the everyday things like the collection of the fires supplementing the sky just being rocks floating in space,“Until more people go home... How...will we make sure it’s not us?”
“Welll. I like you so that’s one less person to vote for you.” he starts,”The rest of the guys like you so you can count them out. Now for the chicks... Anyone you think wants you gone?”
Instantly, someone came to mind,“Heather,” your boyfriend makes gagging noises at the name, vining a smile on your lips,“Ever since I turned down her offer to join her alliance, I must’ve ended up on her watch list. Sure, we can act civil, but I can tell she’s impatiently waiting for my elimination.”
He snorts, brushing his hand on your back,“Seriously? Chicks hold a grudge over anything! Well, that alliance of hers can’t be doing so good when one of her so called members don’t even like her, so it’s not like you’re missing out on anything.”
“True... I get to enjoy the Duncan instead,” you look into his blue vision for that, seeing his irises sprout in ardour. You leave a tangible mark of your lips on his, finding your eyes wondering to a large robust tree not so far away from where Duncan held you,“I wonder... Do you think we could secretly build our own secret treehouse?”
“Up there?” he follows your gaze and whistles,“It is possible... All I’ll need are some tools to steal from Chef and it’ll be there in no time.”
“Duncan!” his romantic selfless take on your suggestion is piled over by his out of place mention of Chef’s inventory, which clicks something to your attention,“Is that...where you’ve been getting the snacks from?”
An unbeaten chuckle rippled out of his ribs, how carefree he was,“Looks like the cat got outta the bag!”💚

How You Get the Girl
Masterlist
Summary: Eddie's had a crush on Reader forever but doesn't know where to start when talking to her. Luckily for him, she has the perfect advice and he's in just the right place to overhear it!
Word Count: 3.8K ish
Warnings: none really. Spoilers for Star Wars original trilogy and my maybe controversial Star Wars opinions.
A/N: This isn't based on the Taylor Swift song of the same name, but I've recently listened to 1989 for the first time and it's my entire personality now! Listened to it a lot while writing and it's too good of a title not to steal for this! I had lots of fun with this idea, I hope you enjoy reading!
Please don't copy my work
'I just don't get it!'
It was a quiet afternoon in the middle of Autumn. A few solitary customers meandered between the shelves, but Family Video was almost deserted. You stood behind the counter, arms folded, while you endeavoured to solve the enigma of why you best friend couldn’t get a girl.
‘Is your hair not cool enough or something?’
Steve scoffed. ‘Look, it’s not about the hair!’ He mirrored your stance.
Despite your friendship, you couldn’t help but laugh at the irony. In high school, girls would have given anything just to be seen with him. Maybe he’d lost his touch? Maybe high school just didn’t matter after all? Either way, King Steve had lost his crown.
‘What’s it about then?’ you relented, seeing his face drop in defeat, ‘How’d you get the girl?’
He stuttered, struggling to condense his elaborate, and frankly shoddy, wooing methods into coherent sentences while you watched him flounder.
In truth, he was different now. Steve wasn’t looking for some meaningless hook-up anymore. He wanted something deeper. Something built to last,
And that was a whole different ballgame.
Unseen between the shelves, Eddie Munson smirked. He wasn’t pretending to browse the selection of tapes he told himself, he just couldn’t help but listen to the two of you go back and forth.
Especially you!
Your voice was music to his ears. He could hardly decipher the words so it wasn’t technically eavesdropping! The melody alone was enough to overpower him.
Eddie had been crushing on you hard for almost three years now. You’d been friends of friends for a while, hanging out in the same group with Steve, Nancy, Robin, and usually Dustin Henderson.
He’d almost asked you out a thousand times but something always make him chicken out. It was ridiculous really; flirting was something that had always come easy to him. Poetry and showmanship were his weapons of choice but something short-circuited in his brain whenever he tried to talk to you. The words stuck in his throat.
You scared him, okay? You were classy and confident, so sure of yourself. You were never ever afraid to speak your mind and you didn’t care what anyone thought of you!
Kind of like him, he thought. Except he did care. Eddie really cared what you thought of him!
‘You’ve got to be joking!’ your disbelieving tone cut through the clouds of his thoughts.
‘What?’ Steve retorted.
You shook your head hopelessly, ‘Act like you don’t care?’ you mimicked, adding sarcastic air quotes, ‘Wait for the… ‘electricity’? No wonder you aren’t getting any girls!’
He threw his hands up in surrender, ‘Well you’re a girl!’
‘Yes, well spotted Harrington!’
‘Go on then, tell me what to do!’ he contested, leaning back on the counter, ‘What makes you see a future with someone? What makes you want to go out with someone, and stay with them?’
Eddie’s ears pricked up. He couldn’t help it.
You agonised, ‘You’ve got to care Steve! You’ve gotta make her feel wanted! Remember the little things about her, compliment her! Not just quietly but when other people can hear!’
Eddie rummaged in his bag for a pen and paper. He couldn’t believe his luck! After years of not knowing where to start to show you how much you meant to him, here you were, unknowingly giving him a step-by-step guide! Tongue poking out of the corner of his mouth, he started scrawling madly across the page as you spoke.
‘Ask her about her interests and listen to her! I mean really listen!’
Easy!
‘Get her flowers! Show that you’re thinking about her!’
Eddie never stopped thinking about you.
‘Invite her to spend time together doing things you both enjoy!’
Piece of cake! (Ignoring all the times he’s failed to do just that!)
‘Be honest about your feelings for her!’
Now hold up. His pen froze, hovering in mid-air. If talking was an Olympic sport, Eddie would win gold but he’s never been great at talking about how he felt. Not that he didn’t have feelings, he supposed he just had too many.
‘That’s so much work!’ Steve whined and you laughed. The sound refocussed Eddie’s despondent mind.
‘True love takes work, Harrington! You’re not some fairytale princess!’
The conversation went on in the background but he didn’t hear the rest. You were right. If he wanted this, wanted you, he was going to have to work for it! No more backing down! No more shying away! No more running!
‘You okay over there, Munson?’
Eddie snapped out of his trance, nearly knocking the shelves over. ‘Yeah!’ he choked, resolve shattering. He stuffed his paper and pen away and grabbed the nearest movie, stumbling over to the desk and your smiling face. Incapable of looking you in the eye, he shoved the tape onto the counter. ‘Please don’t be anything weird!’ he prayed to no one in particular as you turned it over.
Your customer service smile split into a real one, ‘Oh no way! I love Star Wars!’
‘I-uh-,’
‘Say something Eddie!’ he thought furiously, shifting his feet and wishing the ground would swallow him whole, ‘Yeah… I thought it was about time I got round to watching them!’ he managed.
‘You’ve never seen them?’ your face morphed into shock then mock offence, ‘But they’re the best!’
His mouth moved but nothing came out. ‘Ask about things she’s passionate about!’ a small voice whispered in his mind.
‘Which… one’s your favourite?’
‘Oh, I don’t know!’ you rested your elbows on the counter, head in hands and thinking hard. Eddie stuck his hands in his pockets so you wouldn’t see them shaking. You really were breath taking. The way you frowned slightly, the way your eyes narrowed and lips pressed together like this was the most important decision in the world. It made him giddy.
‘Everyone says Empire’s the best,’ you said slowly, ‘But I think Jedi’s my favourite! You just can’t beat the ending!’
‘Is that the one with the teddy bears?’ Steve chimed from the back room, giving Eddie time to pick his gaping jaw off the floor.
You rolled your eyes good-naturedly turning over your shoulder, ‘Yes, well done Steve! For the last time, they’re called Ewoks!’
Eddie couldn’t help laughing. You shook your head with a smile, ‘You’ll have to tell me what you think of them!’
‘Yeah!’ he choked, ‘Absolutely!’ His head was reeling from what must be the longest conversation he’d ever had with you.
‘Well, I’ll see you round, Munson!’
‘Yeah… yeah!’ he grabbed the tape from between you, turned heel and hurried out of the store grinning like an idiot. Step one complete! Gone, were the days of wistfully hoping you’d take notice of him! Now he had a battle plan and this film was his way in!
If he’d turned around, he’d have seen the small smile spread its way over your mouth. Steve poked his head out of the back room and wiggled his eyebrows. You moved to shove him and he ducked out of the way, a grin of his own stretching his face.
***
Sharp Autumn wind made you hug your cardigan closer. Leaves crunched and puddles splashed underfoot as you trekked the familiar streets to work, your favourite song blaring in your headphone
‘Hey! Hey, wait up!’
Fumbling with your headphones, you twisted round. Barrelling toward you was Eddie, his tongue poking out as he tried to balance two takeaway cups in his hands while running at breakneck speed.
You couldn’t help but smile.
He skidded to a halt in front of you panting wildly. ‘Here!’ he thrust one of them out at you and you took it. The cup warmed your cold fingers and your name was scribbled on the lid in black sharpie.
‘What’s this?’ you asked as he slurped his own.
‘Hot Chocolate,’ he answered, ‘You like that, right?’
‘Yeah…’ a sigh of laughter passed your lips, ‘I meant what for?’
Eddie just shrugged, ‘You mind if I walk with you?’
‘I’m on the way to work.’
‘I know, I’m headed there too!’
You started walking and he fell into step beside you. After a long sip of hot chocolate that warmed you right down to your toes you spoke. ‘Did you watch the movie?’ He nodded excitedly. ‘And?’
Eddie pretended to think for a second, ‘Uh and it’s amazing!’ He meant it too! The movie had blown him away, had him on the edge of his seat the whole time. He couldn’t believe it had taken him this long to see it!
But even if that wasn’t true, even if it had been the most boring movie he’d ever experienced, he’d watch it over and over just to see the light that shone in your eyes when you talked about it.
‘Sorry, I’m probably being really annoying!’ You caught yourself in the middle of a tangent.
‘No!’ He couldn’t reply fast enough, ‘I love hearing you talk!’
‘Really?’ the words made your heart skip a beat. Privately, you’d never been sure about Eddie. Sure, you’d hung out before in groups but whenever you’d tried to talk to him, he always seemed to shrug you off. From his short, usually monosyllabic answers, you’d just assumed he found you irritating. Disappointing, because you might have harboured a bit of a crush but there was no point pursuing someone who clearly wasn’t interested.
Yet all of that seemed to have changed. Now, he was trailing after you to work, listening to you babble on about some sci-fi movie and hanging onto your every word. It was nice. Really nice!
From there you talked about everything. He asked about your music taste and hesitantly shared his own. You found out he played guitar in a band and made him promise to tell you when his next gig was so you could come and see.
The video store approached. He stepped in front, opening the door then letting you go first.
‘You after Empire then?’ you asked, taking off your hat and scarf and hanging them in the backroom.
Eddie nodded, ‘This is the one that everyone says is the best, right?’
‘Yeah,’ ducking under the counter, you searched for the tape, ‘It is really awesome! There’s lots of surprises!’ He noted the knowing look in your eye. At last, you found it, holding it out with a smile, ‘Enjoy!’
Your hands touched a bit more than maybe they needed to as he took the video.
‘I’ll be back!’ he promised, tucking it in his bag and scooping up your empty cup for the bin.
***
First thing the next morning, Eddie crashed through the doors yelling at the top of his lungs. ‘What the hell?’
You jumped out of your skin and so did the customer you were serving. Your face split into a smile. You hurried the transaction but Eddie was still hollering, gesturing wildly with both hands. ‘You never told me Darth Vader is Luke’s fa-! ‘
‘Eddie!’ you cut him off, barely able to control your laughter, ‘Spoilers!’
The rest of the store suddenly solidified. Everyone was staring, some shaking their heads in disapproval.
‘Sorry!’ he winced. Tiptoeing up to the desk he leant in, comically close, ‘You didn’t tell me he was Luke’s father!’ he repeated in a stage-whisper.
‘I know!’ you giggled, matching his theatrical tone, ‘What did you think?’
‘It was amazing! I honestly don’t know how anything’s gonna top that!’
You grinned, ‘Well you’ll have to wait and see! You want the next one right away? I put it aside for you!’
‘You did?’
‘Course I did!’ Without waiting for an answer, you slipped away into the back to find it. Eddie took a shaky breath, missing the closeness. Anxiety twisted in his stomach.
‘Come on, Munson!’ he chided himself. ‘It’s now or never!’ He fiddled with his rings, wrists resting on the counter.
It didn’t take you long to come back, holding the video case aloft in ceremonial fashion. ‘Here ya go! The thrilling conclusion!’ setting it down. He managed a grim smile. ‘You gotta come by tomorrow and tell me what you thought!’
A lump stuck in his throat and he grimaced, ‘Oh well… I uh… I was wondering-,’
‘You okay?’
‘Yeah!’ he chuckled awkwardly. This was going great! ‘I was just wondering if… if you maybe wanted to watch it… with me?’
That was it! The words were out in the open now, he had no way to recall them!
The invitation took you by surprise, eyes widened and a small ‘Oh.’ Was all you could manage before he rambled on. Words, previously impossible, now wouldn’t stop.
‘I mean just because you said it’s your favourite! I was thinking we could get pizza or something! I dunno. We don’t have to, I know we haven’t really talked much before but I just thought-,’
‘I’d love to!’
‘-it would be really cool to maybe-!’ he stopped, it took a second to hear that you’d spoken and longer still to process your response. ‘Wait what?’
You smiled and repeated yourself.
He was gobsmacked. Was this real? He never thought he’d get this far!
‘Right! Yeah, cool!’ the words stuck again, ‘I’ll uh… I’ll see you at six, right? …At mine.’
‘Sounds great!’
Somehow, he made it out of the store, clutching the video in both hands. He waited ‘til he was out of sight behind his van before punching the air. Finally! After years of failed attempts, he did it! The drive home was a haze; it was a miracle he made it back in one piece.
At some point he must have ordered pizza because some kid in a yellow shirt showed up at his door at a few minutes to six. All afternoon he’d been floating on air. Now he was freaking out.
What if he messed something up? What if he said something weird? What if you changed your mind and didn’t show?
What if? What if? What if?
***
You arrived a few minutes before he’d said to, giving yourself time to figure out where to park and glance at yourself in the rear-view mirror.
Steve and Robin had teased you relentlessly for dressing up. Claims you categorically denied, of course!
Sure, you’d made an effort. A light dusting of makeup made it look less like you’d worked the late shift for the third night in a row the day before and you just liked the way your favourite sweater made your eye colour a bit more vibrant. That didn’t mean anything! Besides, it wasn’t like he meant anything by it! It was just a movie! Pizza and a movie!
So why were you nervous?
He opened the door almost immediately after you knocked, ushering you inside from the fast-falling dusk. His trailer was cosy and inviting; from all reports, you guessed he must have tidied up significantly. The lamplight enveloped you in a warm glow and the intoxicating smell of pizza made your tummy rumble.
‘You still like pepperoni, right?’ he asked, opening the box, releasing a plume of steam into the air.
‘Yeah,’ you breathed in the scent, ‘How did you know that?’
He looked at the floor suddenly embarrassed, ‘I uh… remember that one time in eighth grade when we had that pizza party? I remembered you were sad because they didn’t have pepperoni.’ He looked up, assessing your response before backtracking hastily, ‘I’m sorry that’s so weird!’
‘No, no, it’s amazing!’ shaking your head and picking out a particularly cheesy slice, ‘The only thing I remember from middle school are those crazy outfits you and your band wore for the talent show!’
‘You remember that?’ He grinned at the memory, ‘Super metal, right?’
After loading a plate each with pizza slices, he slipped the movie into the player and settled next to you on the couch. For a while you didn’t speak much, eating and absorbed by the movie. That was until Obi-Wan’s ghost revealed that-
‘Leia is Luke’s sister?’ Eddie shot up, knocking his empty plate to the floor.
You giggled at his outburst, ‘I know!’
‘How many more reveals are there going to be? Hey! And they-,’ he wrinkled his nose in disgust. You could see a specific scene from the last movie replaying in his mind.
‘I know! It’s so gross!’
‘I don’t believe this!’ he sat back down, ‘I’m never going to recover! Never!’
You elbowed him, ‘Watch the damn move, Munson!’
Was it your imagination, or did his breathing hitch. You’d scooched much closer than before, practically laying your head on his shoulder. Was he uncomfortable? Were you too forward? Your worries were put to rest when he draped his arm around you, slow and tentative, as if giving you a chance to pull away.
You didn’t.
The rest of the movie passed by in comfortable quiet, interspersed with Eddie asking excited questions and you berating him to be patient! You couldn’t stop yourself giving the odd bit of trivia or behind the scenes insight and to your delight, he actually seemed to care!
Eventually the credits rolled. He didn’t move right away so you wriggled to look up at him. He was starstruck, open mouthed, and more than a little misty eyed.
‘So?’ you asked cautiously.
His eyes switched from the screen to yours, forming a breathless smile. ‘That was amazing!’ You laughed. ‘I mean it!’ he said, ‘It was so epic! That final duel on the Death Star was just… and Anakin’s death? Wow! And the ghosts at the end? You were totally right about the ending being the coolest thing ever!’
You laughed with him. The mile wide grin on his face lit up his eyes like a thousand stars, sending butterflies whirling in your stomach. He felt like a different person. Secretly, you’d worried he wouldn’t enjoy it, that he’d think it was silly or it just wouldn’t be his thing but he gave you no doubt! His enthusiasm was the most genuine of anybody’s you’d ever seen and you realised then, you’d give anything to see it again and again.
Eddie started to clear away the plates and pizza box. While you helped, a question kept gnawing at you. A question you were almost afraid of the answer to.
‘Why are you doing this?’ you asked, stopping before you stooped put your shoes back on. He froze like you’d caught him doing something wrong.
‘Doing what?’ his voice failed to imitate nonchalance.
‘Being… nice to me all of a sudden.’ It was the only way you could describe it. He really seemed to care, to actually want to hear your opinions, share your joy.
‘I don’t know what you mean,’ he continued clearing up but he hid his face behind his hair.
‘You’re a terrible liar!’ you moved closer and saw his shoulders tense, ‘Tell the truth!’
He didn’t speak. All the light from before extinguished, something closed him off again. Maybe you’d crossed a line? Said something wrong?
‘You know, you aren’t as mean and scary as I thought you were,’ you tried gently, anxious to get the other Eddie back. He smiled a bit, though still not looking at you.
‘Neither are you!’
‘You thought I was mean and scary?’
‘Not mean!’ he clarified, ‘But scary as hell!’
You couldn’t help but laugh and a small chuckle escaped his chest. ‘Why?’
‘Because!’ he gestured at nothing in particular, ‘Because you’re you and you’re so sure of yourself and you don’t care what anyone thinks! And…’ he stopped.
‘And?’ you asked when he didn’t continue. He didn’t want to tell you, not yet. He was only just getting started! There were still so many things he had left to do before…
‘Be honest with her about your feelings!’ wheedled his brain. It was a struggle but he forced himself to meet your eye. Looking like a man about to risk it all, he wet his lips and took a steady breath.
‘And…’ he continued, voice low, ‘I’ve had a massive crush on you since… forever!’
Oh!
The words hung in the silence between you. They echoed in your head and in your heart.
Before you could respond, he tore on, ‘And I never knew how to talk to you before because I was scared that you’d… I don’t know… laugh at me or something? Because I know, I’m a colossal disaster and I don’t know how to say romantic things or anything when I’m around you!’ He stopped to draw breath.
‘What changed?’ you cut in, still trying to process his confession. All this time you’d worried he didn’t like you and now he told you he felt all that?
Eddie hung his head. He raised a hand to his neck, rubbing furiously as a flush rose in his cheeks. ‘Um… You remember like a month ago? You were talking to Harrington about why he couldn’t make a relationship work?’
‘Yeah?’ the interaction seemed so small, so inconsequential.
‘Well… I might have been listening and I wrote down all your advice and planned to use it on you!’
His nose scrunched; shoulders tensed. At last, everything was laid out on the line. All he could do was wait for your response.
Worst case scenarios, none of them remotely in character, fired through his mind. You being super weirded out and never wanting to talk to him again. Laughing in his face and telling everyone you knew that the big scary metalhead was a hopeless romantic sap in disguise.
To his surprise, you reached up and cupped his face in your hand, rose on your tiptoes, and kissed his cheek.
He looked down at you, eyes wide. You held his gaze. He hardly dared hope.
‘I guess I give really good dating advice!’ you murmured.
He breathed out slowly, and a bright shining smile graced your lips. ‘Yeah?’
You nodded. ‘You should tell Steve it worked! Maybe then he’ll listen to me!’ Eddie let out a laugh, relief washing over him.
Your eyes found each other’s again. For a moment you just stood there, admiring his features up close. The faint brush of freckles over his nose, his slow, steady breath that moved his chest up and down, the way his eyes widened when he looked at you. Like they were seeing the whole world at once. You noticed them flicker to your lips and your heart fluttered.
‘Do you want to kiss me?’ your voice was quiet but earnest.
He blushed at the question, then, almost imperceptibly nodded. You smiled, moving ever closer, until you were practically nose to nose.
‘Go on then!’

𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐃𝐄𝐄𝐑 !
rivalries are put aside, and camaraderie takes their place. and for the golden deer, pulling neck and neck with the eagles and lions despite having the fewest contestants in the ring is all the reason to celebrate! or so rosado and hortensia thought. at the post-tournament grand banquet, the elusian pair have set up a golden deer corner, complete with yellow and cervid decor and drapery, and both hosts arrayed in house colors and face paint. "three cheers for knoll! three cheers for hilda! three cheers for eliwood!" "fear the deer!" a celebration lifting up the class heroes who'd carried them from underdog into the spotlight, and for all the deer who cleared the way valiantly to let them get there: —hip-hip hooray!
Tumblr media
FOOD & DRINK:
—  CUPCAKE DECORATING  ╱  from yellow-sugar icing to pretzel antlers to cookie toppings shaped like deer, there's no shortage of supplies to make your cupcakes look any which way you want.

—  GOLDEN SPICE CIDER  ╱  a warm and buzzy autumnal drink, perfect for the season and sure to banish any chills. both alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties available.
—  CROUCHING CHOCOLATE, HIDDEN STAG  ╱  a culinary minigame? a table is arranged with a terrarium-like miniature woodland display, complete with moss, trees, golden deer flags, and a herd of deer themselves. one item in this display is made of chocolate. how many things are you willing to bite to find which one it is?
Tumblr media
ARTS & CRAFTS:
—  THIRTY-POINT CROWN  ╱  craft your own glorious headpiece with paint, twigs, and twine to show off your deer pride! who can boast the most impressive rack? ( of antlers, duh. what were you thinking? )
—  WOOD CARVING  ╱  for the dexterous and crafts-minded, a setup with display and instructions to carve your own wooden deer to take home. organizers are not responsible for injuries.

Now my Hetalia passion has flared up again to early 2010s levels I’m feeling the itch to get back into writing fanfiction…which I really shouldn’t because I’m so bad at finishing things unless they’re one-shots 😂
EITHER WAY I’ve got an idea for a FrUK fic where Arthur’s magic gets so fed up with his centuries of endless tsundere posturing that it rebels against him and starts showering Francis with embarrassing affection. Because magically powerful but inept wizard Arthur is always fun and “character A is in denial about their love for character B, but it comes out through their magic anyway” is a trope I LOVE
It starts small. Arthur tries to hand Francis a pen and it poofs into a red rose when it touches Francis’s fingers. Arthur is flustered but manages to brush it off (Arthur’s Death By Mortification level: 5%)
After a brief scuffle over who gets the last chair with padding (“HAHA SUCK IT, ASSTOWN FRENCHY!!” - the former nation of Prussia) Francis tears his favorite silk shirt. He bemoans it to Arthur…only to find it’s suddenly fixed itself. Arthur denies all responsibility and says France just made a mistake as usual. France is adamant he didn’t (Arthur’s DBM level: 15%)
Francis, already one of the world’s prime gourmets, invites the G7 to dinner and his cooking jumps up another notch to stratosphere levels after Arthur takes his first bite. Everyone notices (Arthur’s DBM level: 30%)
Whenever Arthur visits France the country is blessed by mild winters, springs that would stun a poet, glorious summers, and radiant autumns. Meteorologists are baffled but no one is complaining! Except Arthur. The UK meanwhile suffers constant dark, glowering skies and sulky storms (Arthur’s DBM level: 50%)
Francis and Arthur stroll through the French countryside, Francis points out a historical excavation sight, and oh look what do you know: they just happen to pull out some ancient treasure that will be a crown jewel of the Lourve. Francis ecstatic (perhaps it was even something he lost centuries ago). Arthur quickly excuses himself and runs home (Arthur’s DBM level: 70%)
Pre-meeting, Arthur overhears Francis sighing that the Italy brothers are a shoe-in to take the world prize for best cheese this year (because that’s a real contest that France and Italy have an annual slap fight over) since the French cheese makers have had a bad year. Only oh no they actually haven’t! Seems there was a late entry that blew the judges socks off and gets France another gold. Francis is ecstatic again…and getting a little suspicious by this point. Arthur hides in a closet and wishes nations could know the sweet release of death (Arthur’s DBM level: 85%)
Francis brings up the Olympics at a World Conference and Romano, still sore over the cheese, loudly remarks that of course France will top the medal board with England “helping” so much with his “fucking Harry Potter wizard BS.” Suddenly all eyes on Arthur, France included. Kill him. Kill him now (Arthur’s DBM level: about 5 million)
Arthur when he gets home: STOP FUCKING DOING THESE THINGS FUCK YOU
Arthur’s magic: Nah fuck you, man *Flips him off twice and gives Paris another tourism boost*

safe word.
Tumblr media
masterlist (eris x reader) author's note: this is truly the start of my vanserra era. writing eris for the first time was so much fun. let me know what you guys think because i see myself writing more of him (and possibly lucien) in the future. request: @anon Could you do a smut fix where Eris gets a little too rough and aggressive where the reader has to safeword? It could follow up with fluff or anything of your choosing!!
As soon as Eris closed the door, you knew you were in for it. 
Before returning to your bedchambers, you spent the better part of your day enduring a particularly tedious meeting with the other High Lords and High Lady. While the males engaged in their usual pissing contest, you’d grown utterly bored of whatever issue Tamlin was griping about and sought other ways to entertain yourself. Naturally, your attention gravitated toward your mate - the newly crowned High Lord of the Autumn Court. 
Eris was impeccably dressed as always in a fitted golden tunic and dark trousers that were tucked into his favorite leather hunting boots. That handsome face of his contorted into the perfect picture of arrogance, freckles smattering his cheeks and nose as he sneered at the High Lord of Spring. Atop his luscious red locks sat the gilded circlet of leaves that had been passed down in the Vanserra family from generation to generation and you'd be damned if you said that your mate didn't look absolutely sexy as fuck donning his crown.
With Beron gone, Eris was finally free to drop his cruel act and began working towards changing the Autumn Court. This meeting was the first step to establishing peace and solidifying alliances between the other courts. For the first time in five centuries, the Forest House had opened its doors to welcome outsiders. Though everyone in the fox’s den was expected to be on their best behavior, your fingers itched to send a jolt of magic across the table if only to stop Tamlin’s incessant whining. 
Your mate’s amber gaze settles over you to convey a silent reminder that maiming one of your guests was entirely out of the question. However tempting it may be. Eris squeezes your hand underneath the table and places it on his lap. You sigh, leaning against the high backed chair with a pout. 
An amused grin curves through your mate’s lips as he twines his fingers through yours, squeezing gently with a promise to reward you in the bedroom later for your patience and cooperation. As the High Lady of the Autumn Court, you made sure to play the perfect host. You stood by Eris and attended every meeting, voicing your opinion and bonding with the ladies from the other courts. While you were more than happy to rule beside Eris, your duties and responsibilities had taken considerable time away that you could be spending in bed with your mate. 
Needless to say, the balance of work and play desperately needed to be restored. What better time to sway the scale to your favor than the present?
While staring straight ahead, you rake your long fingernails over your mate’s thigh, inching towards the front of his breeches while Eris went utterly still underneath your touch. Eyes like molten honey flash to the side of your face, but you ignore the warning simmering in them and continue watching Rhysand rip into Tamlin with rapt attention. An iron-clad grip takes hold of your wrist as Eris leans over to you, speaking so lowly that only you could hear the reprimand in his voice. 
“Don’t start something you can’t finish, little fox.” 
A living flame ignites in your veins, making the scarlet corseted dress you were currently wearing feel suffocating. The words only serve to further challenge you while you continue on your war path with determination, rubbing the inside of Eris’ thigh with slow, agonizing movements. 
From the corner of your eye, you could see your mate struggling to maintain his composure. Eris barely bites back a growl as your wicked hands palm the bulge at the front of his pants. His cock twitches in response to your touch and a heady sense of satisfaction washes over you, knowing that you were the only one who could elicit this type of reaction from the High Lord. 
You rub at his erection while answering whatever question Azriel asked to your right, laughing as the shadowsinger responded with a dry comment underneath his breath. A pang of jealousy jolts through the bond you shared with Eris, but you only shoot him the most innocent of smiles as he glowers at the male seated beside you.
It didn’t take long before Eris called an end to the meeting. As your guests dispersed, your mate led the way to your bedchamber in silence. You could practically feel the simmering rage radiating off of him in waves while you walked side by side. 
He opens the door to your shared bedroom, locking it close behind him before stalking towards you with a predatory gaze. You swallow thickly as Eris backs you up against the wall, placing both palms on either side of your head as he roughly turns you over. He grinds his erection into your ass and you inhale sharply, forehead falling slack against the walls of your bedroom. 
“Do you think it was acceptable to act like a spoiled rotten little brat in that meeting?” Deft fingers angrily unlaced your corset, releasing you from the constraints of the fabric as Eris nearly ripped the delicate lace to pieces. 
Gone was the playful gaze of your mate, replaced by the punishing tone of voice he reserved when you were being especially bratty. Eris didn’t use it very often. He wasn’t fond of being stern with you. Most of the time, he treated you like an absolute princess. Eris loved you more than his court and his crown combined and went to great lengths to ensure your happiness came before his own. The male would move mountains for you if you asked, but he also wasn't opposed to disciplining you when necessary.
Eris hisses into your ear, sending a shiver down your spine as his chest presses against your bare back. “Rubbing at my cock because you couldn’t wait five fucking minutes?” He tore off your bustier and threw it over his shoulder, exposing your bare breasts while he cups them in his hands. “And smiling at the shadowsinger? Are you trying to drive me entirely insane?” 
The male sinks his teeth into your shoulder, sucking harshly and no doubt leaving a large purple welt on your skin. “I- I’m sorry,” you whine, craning your neck to meet his gaze. 
The wicked grin that spreads across his handsome face was purely feral. “No, you aren’t,” he states with a dark chuckle. “But you will be once I’m done with you, little fox.”
Heat spread straight to your sex at his words. Eris wasn’t one to use threats, but the High Lord always made good on his promises. And judging by the wicked glint in those amber eyes, you were in for the fucking ride of your life. 
He pulls down your skirts harshly, discarding them nearby as he carries you to the edge of your bed. He perches himself against the headboard, beckoning you with one finger. 
“Come here,” he commands with pure authority. You scooted over on your knees, but Eris held up a hand. “Not like that. I want you to crawl to me, princess.” 
Shit. You were truly and absolutely in for it tonight.
You drop down on all fours, crawling on the soft mattress as Eris watches with lust blown eyes. While you were entirely exposed, your mate was still fully dressed as he pulls you into his lap. He cups your ass, giving your right cheek a light smack before he positions you in front of the headboard. 
Eris produces the laces from your corset and ties your hands at the base of the bed before unbuttoning his pants behind you. You whine at the obstructed view, wanting to see your mate, to feel him underneath your hands, to taste him on your mouth. 
“Eris, please. I need you,” the neediness in your voice echoes through the quiet room, eliciting a chuckle from your mate.
“Too fucking bad. You should’ve thought of that before teasing the absolute hell out of me. Now you can watch me get myself off and then maybe I’ll think about giving you what you want.” 
He could smell the desperation and arousal in the air, could see your dripping wet cunt spread out before him like a feast, but he wasn’t about to reward you after the little stunt you pulled earlier. Eris released his cock from the front of his trousers, rubbing up and down his length as he pleasured himself to the sight of you bent over on all fours. 
The squelching sound of flesh against flesh made you press your thighs together. It was excruciating watching him pump himself mere inches away from you. You wanted his cock in your hands, your mouth, your cunt, anywhere and everywhere that your greedy little heart desires, but you could tell that Eris was going to make you work for it first. 
You crane your neck and watch as your mate’s head tilts back, revealing the column of his throat, lips parted slightly while your name slips out of his mouth with ease. You were aching with absolute agony as he got himself off, making irresistible sounds of moans and pants as he chases after his release. Eris groans deeply as he cums, positioning his tip so that his seed trickles down your already dripping wet cunt. 
He teases along your slit, spreading his own arousal over your sex while you buck your hips against him. Eris grips your hips so tightly to the point that you could feel the indents of his fingers searing into your skin. 
“Do that again and you won’t be getting any relief out of me tonight,” Eris says. “I decide when to fuck you, little fox. Do you understand?” 
You nod, letting out a shuddering breath. “Y-yes.” 
Eris trails his fingers down your spine as his fire skitter over your skin. Goosebumps cover your entire body as flames dance along your back only to settle its warmth in between your legs. Your pussy throbs as his fire kisses your wet core. 
“Yes, what?” he demands in an authoritative tone.
“Yes, daddy.”
Eris smirks. “Good girl.” He kneads your ass with his fingers, kissing the back of your neck before gathering your hair in his hand. “Maybe I will give you what you want, after all.”
“Please,” you plead in a breathy moan. “Please, Eris.”
Your mate leans over, pressing his erection over your wetness. The friction almost made you roll your eyes into the back of your head, but you didn’t dare rub against him for fear of awakening his anger again. “Did you learn your lesson?” 
“I did. I’m sorry for teasing you.” 
Eris grinds his hips into yours and you bite back a moan. “It doesn’t feel so nice when you’re on the receiving end, does it?” 
“No-please, Eris. I want you. I need you.” 
“You sound so pretty when you beg,” his breath fans over the crook of your neck while he sucks harshly at your neck. “You know I can never deny you, princess.” 
In one swift move, Eris plunges himself into your wet pussy. Your walls clench around his cock as he snaps his hips into yours, fucking you relentlessly from behind while you cried out in sheer pleasure. He grips the back of your thighs, pressing your legs together so he can thrust into you at a different angle, increasing the punishing tempo as the pressure builds in your lower abdomen.
Eris changes it up, slowing his pace as he watches his cock slide in and out of your pussy. The squelching sound as you squeeze around him fills the room as does the smell of sex. It stifles the air around you as you beg Eris for more, head falling slack against the headboard. Your mate props a pillow up to prevent you from hitting the wooden bedpost and continues the painstakingly steady pace of his thrusts. 
“Fuck,” you curse, whining as Eris pulls out of you once more. “Can you fuck me harder, daddy?” 
Eris growls and obliges your request, rutting into you roughly while tears prick the corner of your eyes. He pulls your hair as he fucks you further into the mattress, sweat dripping at your back while he pounds you again and again. You could feel your orgasm peaking as that familiar warmth spread through your body. But just as soon as you were about to reach that sweet release, Eris completely withdrew himself from you. 
You whine at the loss of contact, droplets of tears and sweat coating your skin while you look back at your mate. Eris grins, shifting you over to the edge of the mattress while he rose to standing. You watch as he undresses, his russett locks gleaming against his toned figure while he looms over you. The view from this angle was entirely upside down and you could only see Eris from the knees up as he strokes your lips with his thumb. 
“Open up, princess.” 
You do as you’re told and Eris slides his cock into your wet mouth. As he bucks his hips against you, the taste of your own juices fill your mouth, but you’re too busy gagging on his length to focus on anything else. Eris triggers your gag reflex over and over and again while he throat fucks you. He swears as you choke on his length, saliva pooling at the corner of your mouth as he continues thrusting between your lips. 
“Fuck, I need to be inside that sweet cunt of yours again.” 
Flames curl through your wrists and ankles as Eris uses his power to shift you on the mattress so that your legs are dangling over the sheets. Without warning, he spreads your legs and buries himself inside of you again as though he never left. Your breasts bounce as your back arches off the bed and Eris takes the opportunity to take a nipple between his lips, swirling and sucking until you’re practically seeing stars. 
With your legs wrapped around his waist, flames flickered through your clit, rubbing circles against the sensitive bundle of nerves. The fire was warm, but not uncomfortable. If anything, it only heightened your pleasure. The head of his cock hits your cervix at just the right angle, but just as you were about to climax, Eris pulls away once again. 
You almost cried in frustration. Eris had denied you two orgasms in a row and you had a feeling he was only getting started. You didn’t know how much of this you could take, but you weren’t about to stop now that you were so close. 
As if reading your mind, Eris pauses and tucks a loose strand of hair behind your ear. “Remember to use our safe word if it ever gets to be too much, alright princess?”
You nod, sitting upright. “I remember.” 
Eris smiles fondly as you cup his cheek. “Will you please kiss me?” you ask shyly.
Your mate responds by bringing his mouth to yours, lips melding together as he tastes every inch of you. He pulls you into his lap so that you’re straddling him, breasts pressed firmly against his chest while your fingers take through his russett hair. It doesn’t take long for the fire to awaken again as his tongue prods into your mouth, fighting for dominance as he holds the back of your neck in place. 
Eris flips you over, growling as you tug his shirt over his head. As you prop yourself up on your elbows, you take the opportunity to trace his perfect torso, the defined lines of his solid chest and perfectly chiseled abs warm underneath your fingertips. Your mate kisses your cheek before his fire snakes through your wrists. 
“Only good girls get to touch,” he teases with a low, husky voice. “I’m not done punishing you yet.”
Without warning, he fills you up once again. Your pussy throbbed as he fucks you roughly, his hand clamping around your throat while his thrusts kept a punishing rhythm. Fire snakes around your nipples, its warm thread extending all the way down to your clit as Eris drives you to the brink of release. As your head draped over the bed, you felt a wave of exhaustion hit you all at once. The combination of Eris filling you again and again while his power stimulated your most sensitive areas was too much to bear. 
Tears prick your eyes as you gasp for breath, feeling as though your senses were drowning with too many sensations all at once. 
“R-red. Red! Red!” you pant as droplets of sweat blur your vision. 
At the use of your safe word, Eris stops his thrusting and kneels beside you. The domineering male from a few seconds ago was completely gone and in his place was the concerned gaze of your mate as he brushes your hair back. You didn’t know how badly you were shaking until Eris was cradling you against his chest, rocking you back and forth as he rubs soothing circles onto your skin. 
“Are you alright, princess?” Eris asks softly, brushing his knuckles over your cheek as he examines your features. “Did I hurt you?” 
“No,” you breathe, shaking your head. Eris could never hurt you. Though the sex could be rough soemtimes, your mate knew your limits and didn’t push unless you specifically asked him to. “I-I’m sorry. I just got a little overwhelmed.” 
“Don’t ever be sorry, my love. We have a safe word for a reason. Even when I’m punishing you, I always want the experience to be pleasurable. The minute sex becomes uncomfortable or painful, I want you to tell me just like you did now.” 
Eris kisses your forehead, your cheeks, your nose, and your jaw, making you smile. “I’ve got you, princess. I will always make sure that your needs come first. You know that, right?” 
You nod. “I do, Eris. You always take care of me.” 
Your mate grins. “And I always will. You are more precious to me than my court or my crown. I love you, princess. Don’t you ever forget that.” 
“I love you too, Eris,” you kiss his cheek, grateful that the Cauldron gave you the most thoughtful, caring male as your mate. “You’re the best husband, mate, and High Lord anyone could ever ask for.” 
Eris chuckles. “It’s not so hard when you’re by my side,” he shifts you in his lap and gently kisses your shoulder. “Now how does a bath and cuddles sound?” 
“Like the best damned thing I’ve heard all night.”

BABY IT’S HALLOWEEN, AND WE CAN BE ANYTHING
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
college!sidney prescott x reader
summary: taking sidney to a date on halloween night goes weary when her past creeps up on her like a dark cloud.
warning: panic attack
note: i went to target, saw their halloween stuff was out, then decided to write a halloween fic.
Tumblr media
Sidney knew it was a bad idea, but how could she force her girlfriend to stay in on one of her favorite holidays? Sidney herself was never a big halloween person. She preferred Christmas. She wasn't into scary movies and she didn't like to be scared. All the blood was gross to her and the creepy masks made her skin crawl. She enjoyed dressing up as her favorite princesses as a kid and getting sugar highs from all the candy, but as she got older, it simply wasn't fun to her anymore.
She just never thought she'd be living in her own horror movie.
It was the first halloween since she'd almost been brutally murdered like those girls in those horror movies. She's gotten calls from people who try and convince her that they're ghost face to startle her. But it doesn't bother her too much, it's really just irritating at this point. But having people hide behind masks and costumes was a whole different ball game. She knows it's halloween tradition but she felt like everyone behind a bloody mask was out to get her.
You thought that a fall festival just minutes away from your college would be a nice date to take Sidney on. Everyone else was out at halloween party's, or taking their own kids trick or treating. You wanted to do something with her.
Sidney was reluctant to go. But she knew it would make you happy so she gulped down her concerns and said yes with a smile.
When the sky had turned dark, you and Sidney made your way down to the bustling festival. You held on to your girlfriends hand, not wanting to lose her. What you wouldn't admit is that you could sense she was a little anxious. Crowds certainly made her nervous. But she would be okay as long as you held onto her.
Sidney wasn't paying attention to her surroundings, far too lost in her thoughts and distracted at the loud music and all the different halloween costumes. She slightly jumped when a cup with a light orange liquid was handed to her.
"It's hot cider. You look a little cold," you giggled at her red nose. The crisp air had quickly set into town only a couple of weeks ago.
Sidney smiled at you and took the cup into her hand. It instantly sent a warm wave throughout her body, but she thinks it might just be because she's flustered from your thoughtfulness. "Thank you."
As you began walking around again, you placed a hand on the small of Sidney's back. Enough comfort for her to know you're there without spilling the steaming cider.
You and Sidney spent the next hour watching apple bobbing contests, playing silly autumn games, and trying different treats. You genuinely saw Sidney start to loosen up a bit.
However, the more she walked through the busy crowd with you, the more she started to feel suffocated by all these strangers hidden behind masks.
But as soon as that familiar mask flashed past her face, she felt her heart sink.
He was towering over her, and she couldn't see the eyes so she swore he was staring right at her. Maybe because she's the Sidney Prescott, or maybe he was just trying to intimidate her. She could hear each pound of her heart in her ears and her cheeks flushed so red that it burned.
She suddenly forgot that you were beside her. Maybe you really weren't. You probably got lost in the crowd. Or maybe ghostface had already gotten to you. She felt like everyone was after her. She couldn't breathe. Oh god, she couldn't breathe and she was going to die. You were going to die.
She ran off, pushing through the crowd, and you didn't notice her drift away until she frantically ran right past you. You saw the ghostface as well so you quickly came to an understanding of what had freaked her out so much. You could tell it was clearly fake and just another innocent person in a halloween costume, but you also hadn't been through everything Sidney had.
You started running after her, trying to maneuver your way through the crowd without losing sight of your girlfriend. You called out her name in hopes to draw her attention and pull her out of her own head, but it had failed.
She soon turned a corner into an empty alley that people were hardly walking through. She slid down the brick wall like a crumbled heap while she held her hand over her mouth to try and control her erratic breathing.
You finally caught up to her and kneeled down to her level. She hated being vulnerable, but when she was in this state, you were her only safe place. "Sidney? Sid?" You tried to advert her attention to you but she seems too dissociated. "Sidney, can I touch you? Hm?"
She nodded but still failed to look at you. She felt of a large wave of fear, sadness, and embarrassment wash over her. You put your fingers under her chin and gently guided her face up to look up you. Finally, her eyes met yours and you gave her the gentlest smile to show her that everything was okay.
"There you are. Look at my eyes, baby. Don't focus on anything else." She listened to your instructions but her chest rose and fell with such power that you thought her heart would jump out of her chest. Her tears glistened under the moonlight as they continued to heavily stream down her face. "I swear it's only a costume, I saw him take the mask off. Nobody going to hurt you, I promise."
"Why— why would they do that?" Her hands frantically reached up and held onto your forearms, trying to stabilize her entire existence. And she's not looking for an answer. But she's genuinely curious why someone would dress up as someone who destroyed her entire life.
"I know, baby. It's awful but they're just dressing up. Just take deep breaths with me."
Sidney slowly regained a normal breathing rate as she mimicked your own. She cuddled close to your body, hoping for you to wrap her up in your arms. You did just that, rubbing her back in a soothing motion.
“I’m sorry I ruined tonight. I know you were excited. I really tried…” she trailed off, her voice weak and cracking.
“No, no, don’t say that. You didn’t ruin anything. I had an amazing time from what we did do,” she looked up at you with glistening eyes, still in your arms, “i’m so proud of you for even going out tonight.”
She gently smiled and leaned up to kiss your lips before resting her head back on your chest. "I really hate halloween," she said, but rather in a tone to lighten the mood. You chuckled at her, leaning down to kiss the top of her dark hair.
"Let's get you back home, my love."

Oh, Nurse!

Demon! Yoon Jeonghan x Reader
Summary: Your boyfriend's friends think you can't dress up for Halloween, maybe this year you shut them up and win the annual contest.
Genre: Demons, Halloween Costume Party, Fantasy, Fluff, Friendly Competition
Warnings: Suggestive Conversations, Reader has some insecurities that are touched on, Language
~~Collab Piece with @nebulousbrainsoup~~ Here (Go check out theirs!)
a/n: This is my very first Seventeen piece!!! I'm so excited! I've been wanting to write for them for a while now but I never had any good ideas....ironically S.Coups is my bias. Also, this turned into one of my first like solo collab pieces, and yeah. I have some really cool friends. also, @nebulousbrainsoup thanks for editing and overall listening to me ramble. <3 <3 HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
~Masterlist~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hadn’t really planned on a couple’s costume with Jeonghan, nor had I planned on wearing something so…sexy, but when BooSeokSoon announced their annual Halloween party I had to go. And of course the boys had to bring up that I’d never wear something so scandalous..oh how wrong they were. When my demon boyfriend of two years had mentioned he wanted to dress up as a doctor he asked if I would join him. I wanted to surprise him though so I threw him off saying my best friend was gonna be a Tiger and saying I was Soonyoung. He laughed at the thought and nodded saying we’d for sure win the costume contest this year instead of Junhui.
It’s not that I CAN’T dress up, it’s that I don’t want to if I’m just picking him up or hanging out at his place. I have before, he bought a few very nice lingerie sets and we’ve gone out to dinner before at some very nice places but I like cuddling on the couch in pajamas and being comfortable. 
“Do you want me to pick you up?” the text read on my phone.
“No I’ll meet you there Doctor.” I replied with a winky face. I ordered an Uber while pulling on the white lace thigh highs completing the look. 
If there was one thing about a party at BooSeokSoon’s there was going to be drinking, drinking games, karaoke, and real fun time, you know…for it being in hell. My Uber driver’s eyes practically bugged out of his head when I threw on my coat to combat the chilled air of the autumnal season. It was a sexy costume but nothing too revealing, a mini dress, thigh highs and the cheesy headwear, cleavage just tastefully poking out. I was nothing if not classy while proving my friends wrong. I check my heels and makeup one more time making sure I won’t break anything, including my ankle, on the walk up to the townhome, and of course no red lipstick on the teeth. You know how magic works, presentable on the outside portal to hell on the inside.
Seungkwan opens the door for me and he’s casual…until I take off the coat I’m wearing.
“Y/n?”
“Yeah Kwan?” I look at the man whose jaw is on the floor.
“JEONGHAN YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS HERE!!!!” Hoshi called out, coming around the corner and freezing. “Holy fuck.” he whispered.
“Hi boys.” I smiled and walked past them into the living room where the real party had started. “Paging Doctor Yoon.” I called out to the man who was still turned away from me, two drinks in his hand.
“I see my little tiger has made…it.” his eyes widened.
He dropped the drinks on the floor once turned fully. He’d promised to clean them up later but I think he forgot.
“Fuck y/n. That you darling?” he asked, biting his lip and spinning me lightly to get a good look at the outfit.
“The one and only.” I smiled and kissed his cheek leaving an imprint on his cheek.
“I’m never washing that off.” he smiled down at me, taking a peek at my cleavage. “And to what do I owe the pleasure nurse y/n?”
“Well since your friends think I’d never wear something like this, because your oversized shirts are comfortable…I thought I’d surprise you. And look! Couples costumes.”
“You are just full of surprises, and here I was telling everyone you and Soonyoung were gonna match.”
“It’s why I didn’t want you picking me up Hannie.” I stuck my tongue out at him. “Get me a drink?”
“Anything you want beautiful.” he smiled.
To say I had stunned just about every one of the demons was an understatement. All of them had dropped jaw and dry mouth it seemed. I was a little self-conscious with all the eyes now on me but I knew if I was ever uncomfortable there was Dr. Yoon next to me.
“You know, even after 2 years when I think I have you figured out..you always manage to surprise me.” Jeonghan had chuckled into my ear.
“2 years isn’t that long Hannie.” I took his hand as he lead me to the dance floor.
“Then I can’t wait to see what 20 and beyond look like.” he smiled and cupped my face to kiss me, a few whoops and hollers coming from those around us. “Looks like you stole my breath might need CPR Nurse.” he smiled.
“Oh really, normally people who are choking don’t talk.” I looked at him.
“Oh? Choking? No not me, you later perhaps though.” he winked and kissed me again. 
“You know they say office romance doesn’t work out very well.”
“Good thing this is make believe darling. You’re stuck with me for a very long time…especially now that the guys have seen what should’ve been for my eyes only.”
“Blame them, they said I couldn’t do it.”
“I’m not blaming anyone if I get to see you like this.” he smiled.
Soonyoung had brought drinks around while people were dancing and that seemed to really get the party started, it was practically a frat party in hell at this point. Soonyoung always threw the most elaborate things for having a tiger on the brain. Then in walked Jeonghan’s biggest competition. His brother in arms. Jisoo, or Joshie.
“Hi Joshie!” I squealed and hugged him. “Is your partner around?”
“They’re putting up their coat.”
“I see, no costume again this year?” Jeonghan looked at his twin.
“Oh no we’re doing an angel devil look, they’re of course the angel. And what are you supposed to be?” Joshua’s eyes flashed red.
“A doctor.”
“What do you know about saving people, Jeonghan?”
“It’s called a costume for a reason, besides look at my lovely assistant aren’t they just…delicious.”
“I must say y/n, you know how to surprise us for sure. Never would’ve thought you were one to wear something like this.” he smiled and spun me around gently.
For demons they sure are sweet talkers hmm. Look it’s not my fault you have to give into temptation a little bit. 
“We gotta win this year honey.” Jeonghan pulled me into him slightly as I took another drink.
“Hmm? Don’t want to lose to Joshua again?” I chuckled looking up at him.
“Again? Oh no no I never lose to Joshua.”
“Not my fault you voted for Soonyoung’s tiger last year.”
“I didn’t actually think he would WIN.” he pouted.
“Come on the contest doesn’t start for another hour. Let’s have a little fun.” I pulled him along.
The party was in full swing by the time the costume parade was starting, of course the boys and their partners were participating if they could. Wonwoo and his partner were both black cats…not by his choice of course. Seokmin and Seungkwan were Superman and Lois Lane….Seokmin was Lois Lane. Jihoon was a DJ...so on and so forth. 
“Gyu what are you even talking about?” I laughed at hearing the man get lost in his train of thought again. 
“I don’t even think he knows at this point Jagiya.” Jeonghan snuck up behind me again, his hands finding purchase on my waist. “Mind if I whisk you away your cheeks are looking a little flushed, my nurse, need to make sure you don’t faint on me.” he smiles.
“Oh I’m fine Hannie.” I pout, my words a tiny bit stumbled from the alcohol coursing slowly through my system but he guides me outside calmly and quietly.
“Did you really do this because the guys teased you about not dressing up more?”
“What they said I wouldn’t wear anything revealing or sexy for halloween.” I pout more.
“I’m just saying is this to prove them wrong or give yourself a confidence boost, you always said you didn’t like being the center of attention.” he brushed my hair back. “I’m definitely fine with you showing off for Halloween and the like, I love it when you let yourself relax.” he smiled.
“Oh sure be sweet and kind now.” I held his hand. “I don’t know…I think I just wanted to prove to myself that I could do it too. I’m not the most comfortable with myself sometimes but you tell me to try it out more…why not halloween.” I shrugged. “Maybe I wanted to look nice for you.”
“For me? Baby you always look absolutely delightful. Hard to keep my hands to myself.” he smiled.
“Jeonghan…you know what I mean.”
“And I’m telling the truth. I’ve never minded how you dress or anything, because you’re always you…my little bear.” he smiled and kissed me. “But I do like little surprises.”
“Keep sweet talking me and it’ll be a big surprise later Dr. Yoon.” I stuck my tongue out. “Come on I’m actually starving and there’s pizza….it’s also kinda cold out here.” I pulled him back inside.
“Oh Nurse, you’re going to get me in so much trouble one of these days.” he laughed.
“I thought trouble was your middle name.” I smiled.
“ALRIGHT! TIME FOR THE VOTING AND RANKINGS!” BooSeokSoon called out. “ONE VOTE PER PERSON AND IF YOU’RE A PAIR ONLY ONE OF YOU CAN VOTE FOR YOURSELVES!!!”
“Ready to lose again Jeonghan?” Joshua smiled.
“If I remember last year we had 6 votes and you had 5.” Jeonghan smiled.
“Doesn’t beat that Soonyoung got 12.” they both chuckled.
“I didn’t think that many people were gonna vote for sexy tiger man.” they laughed more at the thought.
“Don’t forget he has to present the winner this year, and you know how he gets about stage fright.”
“Hanniehae!” I called out finding them. “It’s our turn to vote!”
“Well I know who I’m voting for.” he smiled finding my hand as I reached out for him.
“I’m voting for Wonwoo and his partner, I like their cute cat ears.”
“He only has on cat ears, babe. He can literally turn into a cat.”
“Yeah but he has such a cute smile.” I smiled at my very own demon boyfriend.
“You’re just saying that because you’ve been bothering me for a cat for 6 months.”
“They’re cute and cuddly!!!”
“And you’re allergic.” he chuckled and wrote down our names and put it in the box.
“Fine maybe I’ll vote for Soonyoung again.”
“Do you want to lose? I need to keep my beat Joshua streak.”
“Oh you take it way too serious.” I chuckled and wrote down Wonwoo’s name and we left the “booth.” it was just the first floor bathroom with a curtain and a sign that said “private voting.”
Now I know what you’re thinking, who will count these fairly and not forge any for themselves. Our very own father figure, Seungcheol…well and Vernon and Junhui. And you’d think that demons could enchant the box right? Wrong…they take it WAY too serious…they got a special box from a witch that can’t be tampered with..unless you have the key. I mean not every plan is fool proof. 
“Well Doctor…better luck next year.” I smiled at him as Minghao raised the trophy in triumph and the crowd called out for a speech.
“Man I thought we really had it this year.” he smiled and shook his head.
“Well I think you look great.”
“I could say the same for you Nurse Y/n.”
“Did we at least beat Joshie again this year?”
“Of couse we did, and by always…one vote.” he sighed. “Maybe next year we can do Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.”
“Only is you find us an invisible boat-mobile.” I laughed at the thought.
“You’d look pretty hot in a body suit and pink fuzzy slippers.” he chuckled as we made our way outside.
“Oh are you saying I’m Mermaid Man?”
“Of course, I’m just your humble sidekick.” he kissed me once for good luck and twice because he felt like it. “And in a few years when you’re old and gray we can be the couple from Up. We better win before that though.”
“You sure we’ll still be together by then Jeonghan?”
“Oh I know we will be. I’m not letting you go anytime soon darling.” he smiled and ran in front of me. “Oh Nurse! I believe I need…CPR…For real.” he said laying down on the sidewalk and reaching a hand up.
“Choking people don’t talk Hannie.” I laughed.

Okay, I think I'm ready to start chewing on and articulating some Peerless/Wushuang thoughts at least, because I'm deep in the parts of the book where this starts becoming more relevant.
Feng Xiao and Cui Buqu are VERY alike. This is an asshole4asshole relationship, they're both leading secret police bureaus, they're both ruthless and calculating and VERY smart. But they're also so different in some crucial ways. Yeah, Feng Xiao is one of the strongest martial artists alive, while Cui Buqu's health is so fragile that everyone is amazed he's still alive, which is delightful, but i do think the differences in personality are even more more interesting
Like, a thing I've said before (maybe not on here?) is that one of the things that makes Yan Wushi so compelling despite being such a jackass is that he's VERY true to himself, in a considered, deliberate, intelligent way. Part of what drives him to try to break Shen Qiao is his conviction that everyone who clings to ethics and morality is just putting on a self-serving facade and it won't take much hardship to shatter that. Feng Xiao doesn't have an internal conviction like that driving him, or, he sort of does. But his core driving force is pure unadulterated self-love.
Feng Xiao has lived his life with perfect cheerful conviction that Feng Xiao is the most beauitful, most capable, most clever boy in the whole world. Now. It doesn't take long for him to become VERY wary of Cui Buqu's intelligence, but the personal vanity doesn't falter. It's a delight to read, someone trying to suck up to him sends him the most beautiful woman he's ever seen trying to curry favor, and Feng Xiao has her clean his room. He's literally like 'buddy. pal. why would i sleep with someone less beautiful than i am?' He's capable of schemes and plotting, but when it comes to personality, he is a CHEERFULLY open reflection of his own inner self however rancid that inner self is lmao
Cui Buqu on the other hand. MY GOD. The man literally starts the book acting a fabricated role. This won't have been spoilers if you read the book summary, but Cui Buqu has a whole city convinced that he's a perfectly benevolent, kind, generous daoist priest, and meanwhile. When it comes to a contest of who's the most ruthless in this book, between Feng Xiao and Cui Buqu, i think Cui Buqu handily wins! Even once that initial act is peeled away, Cui Buqu has layers and LAYERS. Mister onion ogre man. The author even calls him out for being like this in the notes. It's extremely funny, but also makes for a delightful slow burn in terms of relationship development, it's very rewarding to read.
But as i do that actual reading now, I'm really taken by how subtly that tension between them really enriches the surrounding story. The arc I'm in now involves Cui Buqu's backstory, and he's simultaneously being revealed to be more vicious and more gentle than the prior story suggested. This is DEFINITELY weighted more towards the viciousness than gentleness, but without spoilers, that really makes the moments when he chooses to be kind hit so, so hard! And while Feng Xiao is strong, he's always been openly and bluntly strong, the way more and more of Cui Buqu is gradually brought to light underscores the depth and nature of HIS strength.
Both of these men are very beloved by their subordinates, so the story communicates well that they have good points, but it's fascinating how Cui Buqu's are revealed to readers by patiently peeling those layers away, while Feng Xiao, someone much more open, but with a very demanding personality, is rounded out in large part thanks to those reveals from Cui Buqu, and the way he reacts and how his behavior modifies.
Is that coherent? I can't tell anymore. But the depth of meng xi shi's character writing is something fascinating to me, and Peerless and Thousand Autumns give a LOT of narrative attention to who their main characters are, and the different seemingly-contradictory layers of characters like Yan Wushi and Cui Buqu. Shen Qiao and Feng Xiao are fascinating in the sense of however far down you dig, what you see is what you get, lmao. But the nuance and elaboration within that space, which might seem restrictive, still makes for a FASCINATING character, and a very engaging read
