Rose: I'm so sad Grandma Unity died. We would have done so many cool stuff together.
Unity: Hey!
Rose: Unity you're alive?! How?!
Unity: I was kicked out of hell.
Rose: You were in HELL?!
Desire: She's worse than a demon. You wouldn't believe all the things we did in the bedroom. I'm sure we broke one or two cosmic ru-
Rose: *putting her hands on her ears* LA LA LA LA LA!
--Later--
Death: *on her couch with Mazikeen* You kicked her out of hell?
Mazikeen: *Massaging her temples* Lucifer didn't want competence.

mmmmmm Minho would be scared of fire, actually
Like, yes he'd hate lightning storms and yes electricity scares the shit out of him and yes his weapon of choice is a machete or spear because Launcher grenades operate off electricity
but also he sits in his tent, farthest away from the Dinner Fire (giant campfire that Paradise lights up every night and gathers around to eat).
Thomas makes the long trek every night to the farthest corner of Paradise to bring him food.

STEM SISTER SCUFFLE: ROUND 3 MASHUP 4
Jade Harley (Homestuck) vs Entrapta Princess of Dryl (Netflix She-Ra and the Princesses of Power)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jade Harley is a Nuclear Physicist, Roboticist, Ectobiologist, and Cosmic Manipulator (warping space and planets)!
Entrapta Princess of Dryl is a Roboticist, Programmer and First Ones' Tech Historian/Archaeologist!
Why you should vote for each contestant:
Jade Harley:
"She's soo fun and silly and her symbol is literally an atom. she regularly irradiates steak to feed her weird dog"
"She and her nuclear powered dog creating a new universe. she's cool"
"Built a modded bass guitar that's only playable when she's in her robot form and has extra arms. Became a doggirl. She also plays the flute :)"
"i think you have enough ramblings about her already but i couldnt NOT submit her, she is so dear to me <3"
"bbg has THREE scientific specialties!! she genetically modifies plants and makes them grow beautifully high just because she can and loves science. in her alpha timeline she’s a tech mogul and creates technology that challenges the evil empress that brought earth to ruin. AND she’s a furry"
"Doggy"
"She plays a silly flute refrain. She's a furry. Literally, she's a doggirl. She's also a god and created the universe. JADE BEST GIRLIE!!!!"
Entrapta Princess of Dryl:
"She builds robots!!! She's curious and inquisitive!! She loves her robots!! She has the coolest hair and also I want to be her bestie. She's an absolute love"
"autism :)"
"Builds robots and computers for fun and companionship. Can take apart and understand almost any tech she is presented with. Autism lever set to max and I love her. Mandatory boob window in all her outfits and I've never related harder to a character."
"autistic icon, amazing inventor and app round excellent character"
"she has prehensile hair it’s literally the best thing i’ve ever seen in my life, it’s never once acknowledged by any of the characters as abnormal or explained in any way i’m literally obsessed with it. also autism queen"
"PIGTAILS!!!! autism"
"Entrapta is very bubbly and positive. She never lets anything like losing her friends or going to the bad side or getting put on a death-sentence island stop her from scientific pursuits! She actually drives a lot of the conflict in the story, as she explains the technological backstory of the world, and helps both sides be better at fighting. She loves data, doing experiments, and the scientific method. She's also in love with space. She is an autistic queen <3"
"phenomenal canon autism representation without being weird & shitty. also she’s so strange & wonderful & relatable in so so many ways. my computer is named Darla bc that’s what she named the AI for the spaceship in s5"
"She is THE science queen because she loves science so much and her love of it is INFECTIOUS. I don’t know anything about science but Entrapta makes it seem like the coolest thing in the universe. I love her"
"She ourple. I luv her"
"She's so passionate about her work. Takes through notes! Figured out how to hack her home planet!!! She's autistic as hell and I like her overalls."
"You won’t get autism like this anywhere else bestie"
"amoral mad scientist who flips between the good guys and bad guys, loves building so many inventions, ends up converting the head bad guy (for most of the series) to good through the power of love"
"She has outfitted her entire castle to be a maze, and installed electronic locks on some. Her staff seems to be mostly robots she has built herself. In good part reverse engineering or adapting ancient tech found on the planet. She's incredible at what she does and personally fixes, invents and builds a wide range of stuff from space ships to portals to a prosthetic exoskeleton to trackers to war machines. She can do it all. Autism win! Girlie has been criticised for being treated childlike or being unable to understand those around her to a ridiculous degree, but I'm honestly just glad she's not a Sheldon Cooper. Her favorite bots have personalities and therefore implied AI (but not the shitty kind), which means she's pretty fucking good at software too. She likes tiny foods."
"So very autistic about technology. Initially believes robots are way better than people, eventually makes human friends but also very much still has robot friends (I love Emily so much). Gets so excited about finding new First One's tech. Also her happy spinning around in a space suit in that one season 5 episode heals my heart every time I watch it"
"She's the planet's leading expert on ancient tech (sci-fi/fantasy universe) and develops most of the tech in the show and is very autistic about it. i love her"
"She is fun and funky. Chaotic neutral. Definitely some autism coding going on, which is very charming. She has a pet robot? It is cute"
"Bc she is ENTRAPTA!! No srsly she is such a well-written character. At times kinda morally grey but always lovable and great and she is truly amazing at what she does!! I'm pretty sure she's already been submitted but I wanted to make sure :)"

Angels, darlings, besties, I present to you the most evil thing I’ve ever written. The first chapter of a little gothic story about our favorite vampire ascendant and his beloved consort. Named, of course, after the bird that is born and bred to be eaten whole. Horror ensues. Also on AO3, if you prefer. Thank you for reading!
All her life Tav had lived in the palm of the palace’s shadow, its black spire-fingers stretching and reaching into the corners of the city when the sun dipped low. She had never known then how it held her, that distant, haunted thing, had never thought its eyes might watch her when she wasn’t watching back.
She watches everything now.
From its high balconies, she can see all of the Gate spread out below. The streets, the shops, the city center, the painted roofs and cobbled roadways— all in miniature from here, like little playthings from her childhood. The people move like dolls beneath her, in and out of the castle’s black hand, and on the days time seems to dilate in a widening, infinite loop, she thinks she sees herself among them, walking freely in the sun. 
She could make the lower city in an hour, if she hurried. 
It’s not so far, she thinks. Just far removed.  
Half a league and a lifetime away.
*****
Where Tav feels out of place in their new home, Astarion thrives. 
He stalks the halls with newfound confidence, cold command in every step, making note of things he’ll have their servants change. He seems to know the place inherently, every floorboard, every stone, while Tav gets lost with alarming frequency by comparison. 
She only explores at Astarion’s urging– Until it feels like home, my darling – but the halls are narrow and labyrinthine, stairways twisting into darkness, secret passages that lead nowhere or loop back to where she started. When learning the layout seems impossible and makes her feel like a rat in a maze, Astarion reminds her that all the prior spawn, including himself, had done it. 
Even an animal, she wants to say, can learn its way around a trap.
It’s not all awful, she supposes. She loves the libraries and the moon garden, with its fragrant phlox and foxgloves, and the oratory, too, when she gets brave enough to enter (Astarion promises more than once that she will not burst into flames). 
In fact most of the rooms, when she discovers them, are beautiful, pristine save for a gauzy shroud of dust left over centuries. Others have fallen to neglect, or to irrelevance. There is no need now for the garderobe, the vanity, the ice house, for the dovecote where no living birds remain. 
She finds the kitchen and the larder and the buttery standing useless– though the rats, if they could speak, might disagree. They’re busy gnawing at the stock of moldy scraps still in the pantry, hardly minding her approach until she’s on them. 
Her eyes track them as they scatter, like a hunter, like a predator. An instinct she’s developed since her death.
She is stronger, swifter, sharper– as Astarion had promised– but there is violence softly shimmering beneath. She wants to tear at something, always, wants to follow something home. She wants to bite down hard enough to make her jaw ache.
She never tells him out of fear he will encourage it. 
Tav dreads the day she knows is coming, the day he’ll send her out to hunt. He loves her bloodlust when he feeds her– Such an eager little thing– and keeps her hungry to incentivize her finding her own victims. 
But a rat is not a victim, says her instinct. 
She follows one into the back half of the kitchen past the storerooms, to a passage she has never seen before. The rodent slips beneath a door that hangs half-rotten on its hinges, as if no one has been through it in a century. It is unlikely, it occurs to her, that even Astarion knows it exists.
The door creaks open with her touch, the air beyond it thick with odor– wine and earth and slow decay, with something coppery beneath. She pricks her ears toward the sound of little claws upon the stonework, of a heartbeat in the dark that’s not her own. 
The rat has vanished out of sight, but it’s no matter. She can trace it by its movements, by its scent. As she creeps farther down the passage, the metallic scent gets clearer– copper, yes, but also parchment, like the binding of a book. Hints of mushroom, hints of honey, hints of soil, mold, and… rat blood .
The realization feeds her drive and her disgust in equal measure. Turn around , she tells herself. Let the poor thing go . 
But she moves on as if compelled, down one long staircase then another, winding deep beneath the palace where it’s damp and dark and cold. At the bottom she stops to listen, stops to take a deep breath in. 
There is a foulness deep below– the unmistakable scent of death– and still, the rat blood, like a top note, rises over the decay.
She hurries blindly into the blackness, her feet following her nose until she loses track of how many times she pivots and pivots back. They move underground until the air gets moist, the stone floor slick beneath them. Her own feet stick each time she pulls them up, as if walking through mud, or through gore. 
We must be deep beneath the earth, she thinks, for it to be so wet. 
The creature ahead of her stops suddenly, its breath heavy and exhausted, running one way then another, side to side. Dead-ended by a wall, no doubt. It finds no way ahead.
She can make out the trembling shape of it, her eyes black with lack of light, and then another shape between them, and another, and another. They look like piles of festered meat left in a storeroom, long-forgotten, and for a moment she believes that’s where she is.
Tav takes a step around a pile and something crunches beneath her heel. A bone, or shard of bone, she notes, the flesh long-rotted off the marrow. Another step, another crunch, a skittering sound like a stone being kicked. 
She kneels to touch the little object, to bring it closer to her face. Another shard, it seems, an animal tooth, the one end needle-sharp and hollow…
The realization swells and hits her like a wave. 
Her single-mindedness is banished as she looks around the room, no, not a room, a crypt– the crypt!– where Cazador locked all of his spawn before the ritual. Whatever is left of them coats the floor, their blood, their hair, their shattered teeth, and Tav can smell it now, their stench, beneath the rat that she’s all but forgotten. 
Her own voice screams above the instinct. I should not be here.  
She turns and runs in the direction she came from, at least, the direction she thinks she came from– and should she turn left here, or right? There should be stairs, where are the stairs, where are the stairs? 
She runs until she can run no more, until she corners herself in a corridor, caught between the way she came and a bolted door. She tries to stop herself from shaking, not from cold or damp, but terror, the idea she might be left in here until she is nothing but rot. 
But what she has learned from getting lost is that he will find her. 
She’s never asked him how he does it. She isn’t sure she wants to know. 
He always does, she reassures herself. I only need to wait. 
She doesn’t know how long she huddles there in the bleak and soundless gloom, doesn’t know how long she listens for his footfall. 
At last a voice slips through the darkness. A pale hand reaches for her own.
“You’ve wandered far this time, my darling. I could hardly trace your scent.”  
A horror scurries down her spine like little claws upon the floor. That’s how I tracked it when it ran, she shivers. Parchment, mushroom, honey.  
It’s how he finds her now, no matter where she runs.  ***** It is hours later when she asks him, with his blood still on her lips, how it feels to wring the life out of a creature, drop by drop. 
“You ought to know,” he answers absently, completely unperturbed. He is preoccupied, deciding on the perfect place to bite her, fingers tracing every vein beneath her skin. “You’ve killed a thousand times, my love, have you forgotten?”
“That was different. Not for blood.”
“No, gods forbid,” Astarion laughs. “Most times for gold.” 
She feels annoyance, like a spider, creeping up the back of her neck. “Do I hear judgment?” “Certainly not.” He makes a show of looking scandalized, a hand fluttering over his heart. “I’d never begrudge you a little violence, you know that.” 
As he moves further down the bed his touch trails with him, hands and mouth mapping a blue line down her body, along her breast and hip and thigh. He settles there and moves her legs apart so he can kneel between them, makes her shiver in familiar delight.
She wants to lose them in this moment, those poor creatures in the crypt, wants to put them from her mind for now and always. But with every touch she feels Astarion’s hunger, still unsated; with every kiss, she feels the sharpness of his teeth.
Like animal teeth, she thinks. Like theirs, like mine.  
“But do they suffer? When you drain them?”
Astarion sighs like rustled velvet, looking up at her from his knees.
“Such a soft heart, still,” he murmurs. “Did you suffer, my beloved?”
How easily, how often she forgets that he has killed her.
If there was suffering she can’t recall it now, no matter how she tries. The memory’s far off in the distance, formless, fogged by ambiguity. If she moved toward it, maybe she could make out certain details…
But his tongue is on her now, and she welcomes the distraction. It is unpleasant, after all, to relive dying. He drags it slowly over the soft flesh of her thigh above the artery until she hums a little sound of satisfaction. 
“Would you like to?” He asks, in that same, soft voice. His eyeteeth shine like pearls in the rising moonlight.
“Please,” she whispers. It is all the urging he needs. 
She cries out at the breaking of her skin, the rush of blood into his mouth. The feeding has always been pleasurable, even when she was alive, but it is heightened now that they are bound together. She can feel him from the inside now, coursing through his body, she can fill him and fulfill him with blood alone. “More,” she pleads, when he pulls away to look at her. Already he is bright with her blood. “Astarion, more.”
If this is suffering, she wants it– every evening, every hour– until whatever light still shines in her eyes goes out.  ***** In her dreams she finds her way back to the black mouth of the crypt, its iron gates swung wide on their hinges as if to swallow her entirely. She’s running frightened, like a rabbit , like a rat from something watching, someone whispering her name into the dark.

I just realized if you introduced Daniel "I burned down my family's christmas tree because I thought it would set Santa on fire" Fenton and  Dark "I set up a death maze for santa clause every year and every year he STILL GETS THROUGH AND GIVES ME A DAMN LUMP OF COAL" seid, with neither knowing anything about the other, within ten minutes theyd be besties bc Danny would be like 'wow you look like.

Hierarchy (Part 9)
Tumblr media
Heirachy: a system, especially in a society or organization, in which people are organized into different levels of importance from highest to lowest.
Pairing: Mafia Changbin x Reader Word Count: 6.7k Genre: Mafia AU, friends to lovers, slow burn Warnings: 18+, Minors DNI, swearing, mafia violence, death threats, guns, dubious intentions, criminal activity, guns, blood, fighting
🚨Trigger Warning: Attempted Assault of a sexual nature does occur in the chapter against the reader. If you are at all sensitive to this topic I would suggest that you skip this chapter entirely. I am happy to tell you what happens in the chapter via message so you don't miss any of the story so that you can avoid any content that may cause you any form of upset, trauma or pain. Caution is advised.
You have always been utterly uninteresting, safely boring as close. You had a normal job, normal friends and the sweetest bestie on the planet but now everything is upside down and that best friend of yours is far more dangerous than you could have ever imagined.
All Changbin could hear was the blood rushing in his ears after you told him you had been with Felix, you had said you had kissed him but he knew Felix and you were close so he was sure you actually meant you had let him fuck you. He wasn't sure what whether he was angry or hurt and he wasn't sure if it was by you or by Felix but either way Felix was going to pay for it. Slamming the meeting room door open the noise from it bouncing off the wall surprising not only Felix but Chan, Minho and Hyunjin who were talking about other business while Felix frowned his phone to his ear.
"Changbin!" Chan yelled noticing how furious and deathly calm he looked.
"You are fucking dead" he growled lowly ignoring Chan completely as he crossed the room faster than they obviously expected except Felix who hadn't moved but had hung up the phone.
"Binnie, man I can explain it's not whatever you are thinking" Felix explained calmly raising his hands in surrender.
"You fucked my girl you cunt, you fucked her right under my nose you fucking bastard" he glared icily the veins on his neck straining against his skin. "You took advantage of her you piece of shit" Changbin was still the picture of cold calmness as he pulled his hand gun and at point blank range aimed between the younger mans eyes.
The whole house had heard the commotion at this point because the others came running to see what the fuck was going on except Han who already knew and had high tailed it outside to where he knew you had gone with Changbin not too long ago. Hyunjin say nervously wide eyed as Jeongin and Seungmin stood behind the couches at a good distance and even Minho looked apprehensive. He could feel the palpable fear rolling off his crew it had been a long time since he had played the enforcer roll but it was still as much a part of him as you were.
"Woah, woah, lets maybe talk about this for more than a few seconds" Chan demanded his authority over the others obvious as no one else moved "What are we talking about here?".
"The night we brought her here this piece of shit fucked her" he accused eerily quietly raising his eyebrow to Felix to challenge him on it.
"Felix did you?" Chan rounded on the younger one.
"No boss" Felix quipped quickly his eyes not leaving Changbin's
"Then what the fuck is going on?" Chan snarled looking between the two.
"I'm going to kill Felix that's what is going on" he ground out the rage still flowing in his blood like poison.
"Go on then" Felix egged him on eyes hard as he watched his best friends eyes burn "She wouldn't ever forgive you if you did she would be out of here and your life forever, but still take your shot man". The room stopped even Chan was holding his breath waiting for him to make his decision.
"Princess?" he called jogging around the gardens looking for where ever you might have stopped with Changbin finding you whimpering as you walked back from the hedge maze, tear stains on your face and shirt.
"Hannie?" you croaked meeting his eyes with your watery ones. "I fucked up"
"Oh princess" he soothed pulling you into his arms to hold you for a moment "we need to get you back inside your two boys are going to kill each other if we don't".
"Did you just hug me?" you spluttered looking at him in slight shock.
"Well yeah, course were friends so I can hug you like Lix can" he grinned looking like at excited child which made you feel slightly better that you had made your cute walk with Bin into a shit show. "But I mean it they are going to kill each other if we don't get back, the big guy is very good at killing people".
"What do you mean?" you muttered as you followed him back to the house in a much more direct way than you had first wandered.
"Didn't he tell you? before all of us were together he was the enforcer he did all the killing because he is good at it, just shuts himself off, no humanity just a killing machine. That changed when Hyun and I came in and together took over for him but he still takes people out whenever Chan asks" he shrugged like he was telling you the upcoming weather forecast not that Bin could murder on command.
"Fuck" you mumbled as you reached the french doors that led into the kitchen, the house was deathly silent which worried you but Han just squeezed your hand and continued towards the meeting room effectively dragging you there. As soon as you entered your heart leapt into your throat Bin was standing only a few feet from Lix with a gun pointing at him while Lix just stared back, the others watching on in silence.
"Just shoot him already big guy or put it down no one cares which one of you has the bigger dick, especially since our princess couldn't verify that anyway" Han groaned plopping down on the couch and putting his feet up like he was watching a movie.
"What did you just say?" he growled again not even bothering to look at Han.
"I said our princess wouldn't be able to confirm which dick is bigger, because she doesn't. I would know I walked in on them and I would have asked to join in if there was any real fun to be had" he sighed dramatically like it was all a giant joke "Isn't that right princess?"
"Changbin?" you whispered since the air that had been punched out of your lungs by the sight in front of you making it impossible for you to be able to actually speak Felix's eyes flicked to you momentarily, Bin did something to the gun that made it click and your brain shut down sending you into autopilot. You strode across the room and put yourself between them Bin's gun touching your chest instead.
"If you want to kill Lix you kill me first" you snapped fear and anger mingling and mixing in your blood. Bin lowered his gun in a heartbeat his eyes changing rapidly from rage to horror before filling with tears.
"Doll" he gasped dropping the pistol to the floor which Chan dived to get before anyone changed their minds.
"Seo Changbin you are a fucking arsehole" you continued voice shaking "I kissed Felix, I started it he asked me a dozen times if I was sure" you swallowed hard knowing you were airing this in front of everyone "You hadn't told me you loved me, you hadn't don anything but yell at me, telling me you killed people and I was fucking terrified, Felix did nothing wrong so you want to take this out on someone then take it out on me not him. I won't let you hurt my friend or yours" no one said anything until Felix stood from behind you.
"Bubs never, ever stand in front of a gun without its safety on again! You scared the shit out of me just now" He exhaled his hand on your shoulder squeezing comfortingly.
"Sorry Felix" you mumbled "I should just let him shoot you next time?" the adrenaline in your system keeping you from crumbling.
"He wasn't going to shoot me" Felix sighed.
"Well not fatally anyway" Changbin grumbled making Felix look horrified "Hey I wasn't going to actually kill you unless you admitted to it"
"Fucking dramatic arseholes" Minho groaned pinching his nose, the others instantly relaxing.
"That was incredibly dangerous though little one, Lix is right never walk in front of a loaded gun" Chan scolded you. You didn't answer, you couldn't not when you just saw the man who swore to keep you safe turn into the very thing you feared most in that moment. Instead you just fled out of the meeting room blindly and up to the room that you had been given locking the door behind you so that no one could get in.
The day slowly passed and you hadn't answered when Changbin pleaded with you to let him in or when Felix came to check on you apologizing through the door, you had totally ignored Chan and Minho too when they asked you to come out to eat something it was only when your phone started ringing did you realize that Changbin was probably camped outside your door calling you repeatedly which just made you turn your phone to silent determined to not give him the time of day. Mrs Choi had knocked to deliver you some dinner to your room shooing Changbin or whoever was in the hallway away while she made sure you took the food.
Falling asleep after dinner meant you were awake again by three in the morning you could hear what you assumed to be Changbin snoring on the other side of your door and when you checked your phone you had multiple messages from each of them Hyunjin checking if you needed anything but made no attempt to coax you out, Jeongin begged you to come out just to stop the constant whining from Changbin but you only really read the single line message that had been sent by Han
"He's in love with you he just wants to protect that love"
You read it over and over again, you hadn't stopped to really think about the whole scenario you were too terrified that your boyfriend had pointed a gun at another friend and you had tried to stop it from escalating. You didn't think about the gun, you knew Changbin wasn't going to hurt you, but you never thought that violence between them would happen either. Maybe this was a mistake, maybe although you did love him that wasn't enough for you to not have to worry you would set him off and someone else would have to pay the consequences. If you hadn't run out of tears already you would have broken down when the realization that you would have to walk away from two men you loved and the friends of theirs that you had grown fond of, maybe moving to another city would do or maybe your would have to move back to a rural town and find away to survive. There was no other answer your tired mind could come up with.
When morning finally came around you looked terrible but you hoped a hot shower and make up could at least mask some of the obvious signs that you were broken, even if the feeling did compliment the whole cover of a family emergency. You dressed yourself for work in your standard pencil skirt suit and fixed yourself up before slowly opening the door and after double checking that the coast was clear quietly making your way down stairs.
"She has every right to be angry, hurt, terrified or all of the above" you heard Minho grumble as you made your way towards the kitchen.
"I know" Changbin groaned frustratedly "I fucked it up on a massive fucking scale I know that, but I can't change it now can I?" he sounded annoyed and tired which made you feel nervous.
"No you can't and if she wants to leave after this is done you have to let her" Chan snapped "both of you" his words were harsh and he sounded aggravated which caused even more panic to fly through your system.
"Or we could just let her collect her thoughts" Jeongin suggested softly you could almost picture the soothing expression on his face "You, Felix and probably Chan scared her yesterday and that probably has shaken her more than anything she has been through so far".
"He has a point" Hyunjin interjected "she was scared of bad guys who were trying to hurt the both of you and yesterday you two became the bad guys when you decided that airing your dirty laundry needed to be done in front of all of us".
"She would be so embarrassed that we all know she made out with Lix, let alone that she had to admit it" Minho finished "Which was super fucking stupid on your part by the way".
"I know" you heard Felix sighed he sounded almost as defeated as you felt and if you hadn't been so scared of the anger in the room or how much you were sure leaving was the best idea you would have run in to comfort him "We fucked everything up".
You took a deep breath to center yourself before you silently entered the kitchen surprising them as you easily walked past them all wordlessly made yourself a coffee.
"Doll?" Changbin questioned hopefully, but you ignored him hoping they would all get the hint that you were going to remain silent.
"Bubs?" Felix sighed and you ignored him too just pouring milk into your coffee before turning back towards the door.
"Baby, please" Changbin tried again his hand reaching for your arm making you flinch away slightly his eyes widening.
"Please don't touch me" you almost whimpered your voice scratchy from not yet being used as you stepped back from him.
"Doll, you can't be afraid of me, it's me" he mumbled looking genuinely pained by your reaction.
"Don't, please, just don't I can't deal with this right now" you whispered you were almost as scared now as you had been the very first night you had been brought to the company with him, your brave knight in shining armor who would move mountains to protect you. But now you had seen what he could be right in front of you it frightened you, but it terrified you more to know you still wanted him regardless. His arm dropped in defeat as you scurried out of the kitchen to sit somewhere else in the house until the time came for you to leave. No one in the kitchen spoke, Felix hung his head while Hyunjin sighed in sadness, the others looking between each other for some sort of idea of what to say.
"How do we make this plan work if she is too scared to even speak" Minho mused not really ready to face the seemingly obvious pain that was going to come from ending this whole mess.
"I'll be right back" Han shrugged leaving them after he had managed to stay silent through everything so far.
"Whatever Han, we have to think how to reorganize things if she is going to not be able to go through with this" Jeongin nodded trying to come up with a new plan.
"There you are princess" Han smiled brightly if not slightly insanely at you coming over to sit on the staircase with you "you still going to be able to do this?"
"I just want this over with Han" you admitted quietly sipping the coffee you had made yourself.
"I saw you read my message" he continued smiling.
"I did I read it a lot of times to be honest" you admitted putting your mug down beside you "I know he loves me but it's one thing for me to know it's a whole other thing for me to see it".
"He scared you that badly after everything you have been through since you got here? I thought you were tougher than that?" he teased sweetly almost gently.
"I was scared he would hurt Felix, I was scared he would get hurt, I was scared of what you guys do" you explained chewing your lip "But I'm terrified that I am alright with it, that I might be able to love him regardless of the pain and chaos he might inflict of others". You looked at Han who far too pleased with your admission and it just clicked that maybe the fear was a sign that you should run but that you didn't have to.
"Love is meant to frighten you princess that's what makes it fun" He grinned giddily.
"Has anyone told you lately you're actually very philosophical for a madman?" you sighed checking your phone and standing up.
"Not today but I'm glad you noticed princess" he waggled his eyebrows at you suggestively making you snort. "Let's go get the big guy it's time to be that bad arse mafia queen you are meant to be" his eyes sparked as he led you back to the kitchen where the others were still trying to figure out how to make this work for you.
"Changbin, we need to leave I can't be late the first day back to work" You announced to the group breaking your silence with them.
"Are you sure little one?" Chan questioned cautiously "We don't have to do this you can stay here another day if that would help".
"I want this over with Chan" you smiled as believably as possible at him "I want to go back to having a normal life".
"Are you sure you want that?" Bin asked you softly still aware you were upset since you used his name and not a nickname but you totally missed the inference he was making to you about whether you wanted the life you had before of the life you could have with him.
"Yes" you nodded noting the pained expression on some of their faces but you didn't understand the reason for it other than you were about to put yourself in danger.
"Let's go baby" he whispered leaving the kitchen quickly as you hurried to keep up with him scooping up your shoes on the way past the staircase.
Changbin drove silently for the first few minutes he seemed to be struggling to find the words to tell you he was sorry or what he was thinking when it all went wrong yesterday but you didn't mind you were still trying to figure out what you wanted to say back.
"Binnie" you finally squeaked "Are you all sure I'll be ok today?" you tried to keep your voice even so you didn't worry him more than he already was.
"Baby you will be fine" he breathed out seeming to relax slightly "We are all either nearby or watching, there are guys inside to help you and you have our numbers to call us if you need to" he soothed tentatively reached his hand over to put on your thigh, which you allowed you were still having too many emotions to think about the incident yesterday.
"Binnie, we will need to talk about what happened but I can't right now it's too much" you whispered looking down at his hand cautiously putting your own on top of it "But I need you to play my boyfriend today so that I can get through this bit".
"I am your boyfriend baby, I don't need to pretend" he smiled you turned to watch him as he continued to watch the road his lips quirking up when he felt your gaze on him. "When we pull up I will go round to open your door, the whole point of this is to draw attention, women will notice a gentleman helping his girl from the car and kissing her goodbye, men will notice the car either way there are a lot of witnesses who will remember your arrival if anything was to happen". You nodded understanding that
He pulled up in front of your office a just slightly before when you would normally arrive, getting out to walk his way around the car to help you out of your side. You could see the businessmen all taking looks at the cars some younger ones even stopping to get a proper look at it. Letting go of your hand he helped you into your blazer then pulled you to him to kiss you goodbye, it was supposed to be a peck but Bin poured his love into his kiss showing you exactly how he felt.
"I'll pick you up for lunch baby" he smirked noticing your slightly flushed face "Now be brave baby you have work to do".
Walking through the lobby you noticed the guy Seungmin had planted standing next to the desk you assumed that it gave him the best scope for the room but either way you knew where he was. You met a few of the usual interns at the elevators and took them up together chatting and talking about everyone's weekends before you got to your floor. Your desk looked exactly like it did the day you had left over a week ago with the exception of a neat stack of files that the director was going to need for his meetings today, you flicked through quickly to make sure they matched the diary and noticed that the appointment before lunch was Mr A which made blanch slightly.
"Good Morning miss" a friendly voice spoke from behind you.
"Oh good morning" you chirped politely turning around to come face to face with another of Seungmin's men making you smile in relief "Have you been interning long?".
"My second week miss but I'm hoping to learn from you, everyone says you are the most valuable of the assistants here" he smiled looking at the files on your desk.
"Well that is kind of them, has anyone shown you how preparing files for the meetings is done? I have some here that I can show you with" you moved around your desk and gestured for him to follow. "All that needs to be done is that you double check that the correct file has been matched to the correct appointment. As you can see here Director Kim has an appointment with Mr Park at ten this morning and then another with Mr A at eleven" flipping open the file you moved your finger to show him pretend points while he nodded knowingly.
"I'll let the boss know" he whispered as he continued to follow along with your fake instructions.
"Have you been assigned a mentor yet?" you quirked your eyebrow at him.
"Not yet miss" he answered continuing to play the part of a clueless intern.
"I'll find one for you then come back to my desk in an hour and I'll have figured something out for you" he nodded making himself quickly scarce as Director Kim walked into the office eyes pinpointing you instantly.
"Good morning my dear, I'm so glad you are back with me" he purred attempting to take your hand which you filled with the files you were holding.
"Morning Director, I hope you had a lovely weekend, these are this mornings appointments and I can bring you your morning coffee if you like" you smiled politely staying on the opposite side of the desk from him.
"Yes my dear, could you arrange that for me now" he grinned looking at his files. You swallowed hard and nodded your head waiting for him to move to his office before moving from the spot you were in. You made your way to the the kitchen area to prepare his coffee hoping that you looked normal and not like you were trying to hide how disgusted and panicked you were.
"Miss?" another young man's voice turned your attention towards the other side of the kitchen, you recognized him as Seungmin's other insider.
"Good morning" you smiled relieved.
"I am around all day if you need assistance, or any memos to be passed between the departments" he continued to smile at you.
"Thank you, I sent a memo out with another intern I assume that you will have seen it too?" you asked trying to keep us the ruse.
"Yes miss, there is no need to worry we are both here" he nodded goodbye and left you to finish making coffee.
You took your time making the coffee trying to wait until the director was on a phone call or when someone else was in his office but you realized it would look strange if you didn't behave normally so you had to suck it up and pretend you were the girl you were a month ago when there was no fear, no threat and no boyfriend in the mafia. Walking the tray to the door you knocked once before letting yourself in, you purposely left the door open as you delivered the coffee and a pastry. Before anything could be said his phone rang making him look slightly annoyed before you took your leave quickly shutting the door behind you. If this was all you would have to do for the rest of the work day you could definately do that.
The rest of the morning at least ran smoothly despite your planted intern not being able to return to you, you had passed a dozen calls to the Director meaning you spent no time with him and when his first appointment arrived you were quite happy to go down a retrieve him from the ground floor waiting area, you were growing more confident that the day would run smoothly, until you noticed that both of Suengmin's people had been asked to assist other team members just before the appointment you had been dreading was due to start.
Mr A, or Mingi as you learned was his real name from Chan, had entered the office just before his 'appointment' with Director Kim he never waited like any of the legitimate clients did in the lounge which normally annoyed you but under the current circumstances you were pleased that you didn't have to be alone with him while you brought him upstairs to the offices. You had tried your hardest to not feel frightened instead channeling all the anger you possibly could into acting out that your were completely normal as so far it seemed to be working as Mingi passed your desk he smirked at you and winked making you raise your eyebrow and turn away from him which you knew he could be offended by but you didn't care in ninety minutes you would be back with Binnie and hopefully Mingi would be very far away from you. You heard the door close and turned back to your desk looking for your phone just in case you needed it to update Bin or the others about what was going on. Your desk phone chimed letting you know that you were required by Director Kim, feeling the bile rise in your throat you took a deep breath picking up your phone, notepad and pen and going into his office, nothing was going to happen after all you had two back ups in your office and one downstairs you would be fine.
"There you are pet" your boss purred smiling as you stepped into his office.
"Apologies, Director" you smiled knowing that it probably didn't reach your eyes so you lowered your head to cover it.
"No need for that my dearest, Mr A and I just need you to take a few notes regarding his file, please sit" he gestured for you to sit beside Mr A  on the lounge suit that he often used for meetings. Your blood ran cold as you sat realizing too slowly that you were now in the furthest spot from the door.
"Your assistant is very beautiful, Kim, are you sure you still want to do this the risk has increased" Mingi smirked his voice making your skin crawl as he lent closer to you inspecting you face and chest. He raised his hand to move a lock of hair that had come lose from your hair pin. You tried your hardest not to flinch not wanting to show how disgusted you felt.
"She is isn't she, that is why I was willing to risk so much" Kim smirked in return his eyes racking over your form making you feel dread as you tried to subtly unlock your phone to get help.
"No phones" Mingi snapped nastily snatching the device from you and making you shrink back from him.
"Now now there is no need for any annoyance Mr A, she is a very good girl" Kim leered at you his eyes seeming to zero in on you thighs which made you shuffle back into the seat further.
"I understand but my associates have not been so happy with this arrangement now that they know who she is" Mingi sighed leaning back on the chair watching you closely as your face continued to pale. You knew you were in huge trouble now and the only hope was that Felix could see what was happening on the cameras or that Seungmin's guys would realize you were missing. " They can't see you I had the camera disabled sweetheart, and that little intern they planted yesterday has been dealt with for the moment".
"What" you gasped horrified that perhaps you were totally alone now.
"Why does that matter, once she's carrying my child her pathetic little criminal boyfriend wont want her anyway" Kim grinned disgustingly making you try to make for the door as fast as you could. But Mingi was faster than you, catching your waist before you could even get half way to the door.
"No! Don't touch me!" you struggled against him uselessly for a moment before understanding that he was far too strong for a simply struggling to work now that your back was pressed against his chest.
"Now, now none of this, its time you behave yourself and let my uncle fuck that baby into you" he growled into your ear, his hands sliding down to your hips. You wanted to vomit but you knew you had to keep your head to get yourself out into the main part of the office. You were frozen as his hands traveled lower down your legs pulling the fabric of the skirt up until it reached almost the top of your thighs. "I can't wait to watch your pretty little pussy take my uncle's cock, maybe he will even let me fuck you afterwards since you caused us so much trouble".
"Don't please don't" you sobbed as Mingi manhandled you over to the desk pulling your skirt all the way up to your waist to expose your underwear. You grit your teeth knowing you needed to keep you head, you had to get out now no matter the cost. Mingi moved to the side of you groping your arse roughly as he grinned sadistically.
"Come on uncle, I want to see a show after everything we have put up with to get her here" he sneered down at your now tear streaked face. You could hear a belt buckle being undone and knew it was now or never.
"Fuck you Mingi" you snapped viciously yanking your arm closer to your face and biting down on his hand until you could taste blood. Mingi swore letting go of you for a moment which you used to smack him as violently as you could in the abdomen with the heaviest thing you could reach on the desk before pushing yourself up and running to wrench open the door and fleeing blindly as you attempted to get your skirt down your legs.
"You little bitch" Mingi shouted after you "I'll fucking kill you".
You had lost one shoe in the struggle in the office so you slipped out of your remaining shoe and ran as fast as you could to the stairs, with Mingi following you you were never going to be able to wait for the lift he would catch you and you would rather fall down a flight of stairs then let that happen.
"FUCK" Felix yelled as his screens started blacking out in certain sections of your office, hitting speed dial Changbin picked up instantly.
"Bin you need to get in there now something is wrong" he instructed before hanging up and dialing Chan who was on standby near your office with Han and Minho.
"Felix?" Chan answered quickly.
"I'm losing screens Mingi knows were watching" he explained rapidly "They must have made that we were inside the office".
"Were leaving now" Chan called to the others before speaking to him again "Bin?".
"I called him first" Felix swallowed hard before hanging up.
"What's happening?" Jeongin asked walking into the meeting room to see what Felix was so angry about.
"They know we have eyes inside we need Seungmin to contact his guys I've sent the others already" Felix growled trying to reinstate his connection to your office's security feed.
"On it, she'll be fine though man she's tough" Jeongin tried to calm his brother while calling Seungmin to explain.
Changbin had arrived at your building to find people milling around everywhere after an apparent 'evacuation drill' that no one had known was happening. He figured out quickly that you were not among the others from your floor so you must still be inside which in all honesty made him start to panic. Seungmin arrived a moment later a look of thunderous anger splashed across his face.
"My guys have just located one of my guys inside, we need to get in there" He snarled his eyes burning.
"Chan and the others will be here in a few should we start looking from the ground up or split up" he growled making his way through the employees to the main doors where they entered despite the regular securities protests.
"I still have two guys inside so they better have sorted this out" Seungmin barked in reply now looking almost as worried as angry.
"Where is the third one anyway?" he asked pulling his gun and stalking further into the building.
"Half dead. They put two in him but only hit one lung and his stomach" Seungmin answered looking desolate.
"Fuck, at least he's alive which is far more than what Mingi will be after this" he growled his anger growing with each step they took through the empty lobby. The lift doors dinged and opened revealing the security guard plant and Director Kim who was being led away towards the back entrance to the car park giving hushed instructions he thought would help him.
"Bin keep your cool we need to find your girl first" Seungmin hissed keeping his own weapon concealed behind him as they passed.
"I want to take my time with that piece of shit" he muttered savagely.
You continued through the stair wells hoping that you could somehow beat Mingi to either the ground floor or to somewhere you could lock yourself in until someone discovered you. He was still screaming threats at you from the floor above and his yells were getting closer but each exit you came across was either locked or empty of people so you kept going. You were physically exhausted making it down eleven floors worth of stairs already still hearing Mingi as he rattled door handles and slamming open doors looking for you somewhere above you. That was until you opened the 8th floor and almost fell into Hyunjin's arms making him lower his gun instantly and hold you tight as you began to cry hysterically into his suit jacket finally feeling like you could breathe again.
"Got her" he announced sounding relieved before he noticed how wrecked you looked, your skirt hitched so far up your legs that there was no way you had done it yourself to ease your running and the red marks and blood smeared on your arms. "8th NOW" he snapped heatedly his voice tightening in anger.
"Hyunjin" you garbled out between your body wracking sobs your legs giving way as he bundled you onto his left side in case he still needed to use his weapon.
"Shh princess I'll kill anyone who isn't ours that walks through that door" he soothed as best he could his hand hesitating to help you adjust your clothing as you shook in his arms.
"Hyunjin where is our kitten?" Minho called from the other side of the room making his way towards you as Hyunjin continued to slowly move you back from the door to keep more distance between any potential danger. You were not paying much attention to anything outside the sound of their voices.
"Princess can you hold onto Minho for me? It will be easier to keep you safe that way" his voice was still tight but he was trying to be gentle with you, you nodded letting go of his jacket and letting Minho bundle you up in his jacket and pull you against him. His suit jacket was long enough to cover more of your legs which were still almost completely bare but you couldn't even fix it you were too overwhelmed and emotional to even do that. Banging and yelling started coming from the other side of the stairwell door making you cling even tighter to Minho your knuckles tuning white with how tightly you were gripping his shirt.
"Mingi" you gasped pointing at the door frantically as Chan arrived taking in your messy hair and near catatonic state, he quickly stepped into your field of vision so that you would focus on him slowly approaching you to stroke your hear smoothing it down slightly.
"Hi there little one, your'e safe now" Chan soothed "Bin where the fuck are you?" he asked trying to not sound aggressive into what you realized were ear pieces they were wearing. The stairway door flew open and you hid in Minho's chest rather than see Mingi's face again but instead of his threats you heard the opposite.
"Move and I will make you wish for a quick death cunt" Bin's voice cold and ruthless filtered to your ears.
"Binnie?" you hiccuped, tears still pouring down your face, he stepped over Mingi both Chan and Hyunjin taking over from him, Chan's gun in his face as Hyunjin zip tied his hands behind his back. The blood dripping from his wrist and the pained groan that he emitted made Hyunjin realize why you had blood on your shirt sleeve. Binnie just left them to it not seeming to care as he wrapped both his arms around you and cradled you against his chest.
"I'm here baby, I've got you" he murmured into your hair as he ran his hands over Minho's suit jacket trying to sooth the obvious fear and pain from you.
"Can we go home now?" you whimpered sounding less hysterical than when you had found Hyunjin but still far too panicked and breathy for him to be comfortable moving you yet.
"Did you lose your shoes doll?" Bin whispered looking down at your feet pointedly hoping to get you slightly calmer before he took you to the car. You nodded concentrating hard on his face as you turned to look at him.
"They took my phone" you rasped your throat sore from the crying.
"That alright baby, one of the kids will get it back from you" he spoke carefully as your body started sagging against him your breathing getting lighter again. "I'm going to carry you baby. We need to get you down to the car and away from here alright?" His question was difficult for you to concentrate on so you simply nodded as he moved slowly to lift you up so you were nestled against his chest.
" Minho cover us?" He looked towards his brother who nodded sharply as the tree of you made your way towards the lift. You didn't really notice anything other than the heat radiating off his body as he held you close to him until he opened the passenger door of his car, and he and Minho helped you to get in mutely letting him put your seat belt on you, Minho held your hand while Bin get into the car and got himself situated.
"Look after her Bin, I'll call the doc to treat her when you get home" Minho sighed looking worried for you.
"You know I will" he nodded starting the car and driving away from your office. "I'm sorry for everything baby doll, I'm sorry for yesterday, I'm sorry for today, I'm sorry for this whole stupid plan and I'm sorry that I fuck everything I touch up"
"I love you Bin" you sniffled gripping his hand tightly.

The first timeline's Homura Akemi wished for true friends, and got Madoka, Mami and Kyoko (the wish didn't pull in Sayaka, because those two don't get along in any universe), plus a functioning heart and eyes into the bargain. Her wish magic let her share her friends' magic with one another, and so she became something like a leader to the Holy Trio, supplementing Mami's firepower and Kyouko's mobility by letting them borrow each others' tricks, and helping them to reconcile with one another. She was also an enormous, embarrassing chuunibyou who helped Mami name all her attacks (including the combined-powers fusion technique L'ultimo Balletto) and practiced hair flips in the mirror.
Madoka Kaname was saved from a witch by the coolest girl she'd ever met (Homura, fronting very, very hard to impress the cutest girl in her class). Kyouko and Mami were leery of keeping Madoka around – Kyouko for fear of competition, and Mami for fear of Madoka getting hurt even worse, since she'd suffered a nasty scar from Izobel the Artist Witch – but Homura wanted her by her side, not even as a fellow magical girl, but as the kind of ordinary friend she'd fantasized about having for years in various medical wards.
Then came Walpurgisnacht. The shelter didn't make it. Neither did the Kanames. And the Holy Trio...
"I wasn't ever going to live long. And these past few weeks, after making my wish... I've been so happy that it almost seems unfair. Like I cheated the universe. So, no matter how this ends..."
It might've ended there, but, well, Kyubey. Madoka's wish wasn't to save Homura, though, who she didn't think she could stand with as an equal, even in death. Instead, Madoka wished to spend just a little more time with her – to extend that little slice of paradise that Homura coveted, that she was willing to die for –
"I wish that I could stay by Homura's side just a little longer, and live out a wonderful, ordinary life with her, for as long as she wants me."
In the end, even with a magical wish, Madoka Kaname the ordinary girl didn't consider herself capable of asking for something as big as everyone surviving past Walpurgisnacht. In the end, dreaming beyond your potential just leads to more suffering, doesn't it? So instead she restricted herself to supporting her best friend's desire to live out the best month-and-a-half of her life... again and again and again, carrying her scarred, changed body to each new timeline, the damaged, traumatized facilitator of an endlessly looping magical girl paradise where everyone gets to be special, over and over again. (She strangles her own potential in the process. No Madoka Kaname will reach beyond what her grasp permits, ever again.)
If Homura finds it in herself to be strong again – to be that perfect, unbreakable girl who could defeat even Walpurgisnacht if she had her friends behind her – then they'll escape this maze of time. (If she ever got sick of ordinary life and frailty and an ever-repeating everyday, she could certainly become that heroine who saves everyone. Who saved Madoka. Who Madoka fell for, who Madoka could help like no one else could, who became so amazing because she fought for Madoka. Just one more time. Please?) But Madoka Kaname, known crypto-Buddhist magical girl, couldn't possibly ask for anything more than those peaceful, happy days (which she keeps peaceful and happy, despite her best friend's slowly ballooning potential and Kyubey's increasing ruthlessness, by liberal application of deception, time-clone magic, impromptu therapy and occasional sedatives).
Also if she convinces Sayaka not to kill her for body-snatching her bestie and replacing her with a scarred, glasses-wearing trauma ghost doppelganger. Also her mom sometimes.
(Mami is deeply confused about why the cute pink underclassman Kyubey was keeping tabs on suddenly lost all her potential, especially since there's a weird new magical girl in town who looks exactly the same. Kyouko is drawn into the mystery of the mysterious body-stealing Pink Rose Witch, who Sayaka insists must be responsible for her best friend's transformation. She can't trust someone who gives her that much food "for free.")

have I ever told you that second chances had multiple test concepts?
before I decided on empires, I considered Stardew Valley because the original idea for this was an ask game where you put the last character you drew in the last game you played and I thought he would vibe :D
Then, when I decided on empires, I considered making him a ghost in a cursed pendant that llama Owen picked up! The story would have been about him trying to get brought back so he could continue his massacres but being worn down by llama Owen’s stupid antics lol
NO YOU DIDN'T
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
THOSE IDEAS ARE SO SO SO FUN!!!!
I neeeeeeeeeeeed more outsiders x other servers fixing them fics. There was this one fic where they took outsiders and fused it with the maze runner and it was amazing. and like i ADORE ADORE ADORE LOVE ABSOLUTELY FAWN OVER YOUR FIC OF COURSE!!
Cause i love taking messed up characters and sending them on the most painfully complicated fix it arcs. Its literately the plot of both These walls scream your name and Played my game now you're in it. OH! and my new secret wtdw fic only Danger knows about that i wont share for a while. (im going to wait till i have a few chapters before hand ready to post so i don't get behind on it like all my other fics lol.)
ANYWAY
I've also been tossing around more combinations for this kind of au. taking outsiders and putting them in places they shouldn't be. and here are some of the ones i've nearly written but just don't have the time for.
O!Krow in Newlife. just, it's reaction to sparrow would be so funny and also the angst potential in death and hybridizing Krow even further. Also there is one opening to one of the NL episodes where Krow does a Japanese voice over intro that catches me off guard every time i hear it.
O!Bek in SOS smp. Look. Scott, Eloise, and Owen are there but my girl is missing and that makes me just a little bit sad that they can't reach their full chaos potential. its more so to fix them than her at this point. but i also think it would to see O!Bek specifically try to adjust to it all cause shes isn't a big......team player..... to say the least. Which is something that smp relay on big time.
O!Magic on Pirates. i think she deserves a gun. and to kill people. and also think she would be a great apprentice for P!Gracie and would be besties with cruppy. this is less of a lore heavy one and more i just want her safe and happy and also to kill whomever she so desires because she deserves it after everything.
On a similar note on sending people place for the sole sake of letting them kill people, i think sending O!Oeca to the traffic series would just. just think about it. they were made for each other. and you know what. Put O!Mowhee there with him. Just the two of them running around on red just. i don't know man. i think its very fun and that they would thrive.
O!Squidney and O!Spidey i firmly believe should have the pleasure of being in Rats. Just as a treat. just so they can be silly and forget the horrors.
Anyway those were plans i had for another super big grand fic where every outsider got put somewhere new and each chapter centered around them healing. but i quickly realized that's way too big of a project to take on right now and also i don't know enough about servers or enough about every outsider for that.
Hope you like the little exchange in ideas!!! I do really like yours and i have so many i couldn't help but spill some of my own!
(i also may have another little idea for a oneshot sort of inspired by your fic, if i get around to having the free time to write it and you allow inspiration)

We were so young
Jenna Ortega x female reader.
Tumblr media
When had it started when had I lost myself?
I sat on the old stool of an bar the “need a drink?” A man with a white beard asked I nodded licking my lips as he slid the beer over “thank you.” I placed the cool glass cup to my chapped lips, when was this going to be over? The pain of losing someone dear to one myself a beautiful best friend I could have forever but now she’s forgotten how could I forget? How am I supposed to forget my once lover?
I remember her smile soft pink lips like a pink lemonade.
I remember her smell the smell of strawberries and sweet sweet caramel.
And I remember her voice melody rigging through my ears.
And I remember ruining everything.
We stood under a deep gray and foggy sky. “We should head back y/n.” Jenna was always so smart and I was “no come on! This’ll be fun!” Stupid. We walked down the corn field heading towards an old cabin that was supposedly ‘hunted’ I mean of course it wasn’t just some teenagers playing around. Or so I hoped.
We made it we finally made it yo the surprisingly kept cabin with a lantern lit we headed in. “Honestly y/n we should head back this is so stupid ghost aren’t real.”
Jenna’s worry echoed throughout the place causing and echo to shallow back to us. “Whoa this place is empty.” I laughed running in more “Y/N!” Jenna yelled running after me.
“This place is huge bigger than I expected Jenna, Maybe one day me and you could get married here.” I smiled back at the girl whose expression became unrecognizable...unreadable. Of course i caught on to this so I made up a lie “I’m just kidding Jenna your like my bestie so maybe we’d be married in a bestie way yea?” I smiled at her. Her expression becoming hurt then contorted into a smile “yeah that would be fun.”
Being as stupid as I was ignorantly ignored that sign. Moving on “come on we should look in the bed rooms.”
That’s how it happened we began to search the house only find one or two spiders cob webs and dust. Until we made it to the basement. “It’s getting late y/n we should go.” I opened the basement door the creepy sound of the thing could scare a grown man and the smell the rushed out to us was uncomfortable.
“Oh man that smells like-“
“Death.” Jenna finished. “Yea…hey Jen maybe we should go…” I looked to her with a worried expression she nods taking my hand leading me out the door.
The rain hardened as we ran through the corn filed shiver fell through my spine as I yelled.
I fell to the muddy floor “y/n? Oh I’m so sorry come on get up.” Jenna came back for me helping me up. “Who goes there!” A man yelled we both looked to each other terrified “I think that’s our cue to go cupcake.” Jenna rushed out “yeah!”
We finally made it out that maze of a filed panting and muddy.
“Man that was…”
“Fun!” Jenna laughed out I giggled and smiled “that’s the most fun I’ve ever hand since…ever!” She gasped out sitting on the wet concrete. I sat beside her “your quiet a character you know that.” I looked at her “is that a compliment Jen?” She nods tilted her head.
Then everything slowed down.
I don’t know what got into me but the feeling of electricity sparked throughout my body and mind as I leaned closer.
Our nose touched “y/n..” Jenna said in such a small voice. “Shh” I hushed the girl. Our lips meeting one another. The moment seemed to last forever till she backed away “y/n” my eyes widened as I backed my head away “oh my god Jenna I fuck I shouldn’t have.” She didn’t speak or maybe she did I was too panicked to listen “i I gotta go Jenna fuck I’m so sorry.”
I ran down the street the lights slowly turning on as I ran for my life pushing my lungs as hard as they could go.
I remember her yelling my name.
I remember her trying to call me 30+ times.
And I remember leaving her
And I remember never looking back.
So that’s why. That’s why I’m alone that’s why I’m here right now drinking cheap beer at a strip club of sorts. I let out a quiet sigh stumbling out of the wooden stool “put it on my tab j.b.” The old man nods as I stumble out the door drunkenly. I reek of beer and other various drinks. I let out a sigh falling on the sidewalk “ouchie…” I pouted as it thundered “oh great now it wants to rain.”
I poke my lips out pouting now crossing my legs and resting my head on my held up hands I continue to mumble to myself. “Y/n?” A wiredly familiar voice called.
I ignored it “oh my god is that really you.” This time turning my head out of spite I meet dark brown. Golden eyes that seemed to light up just like the day I met her. “Jenna?” I questioned still in a state of pouting. “Hi, yes it’s me.”
She leans over placing her hands to her thighs holding herself up “still childish as ever I see.” She teased I rolled my eyes clearly still intoxicated with that drink so I pout turning onto my back. Letting the cool rain hit my face “why are you here Jenna.” I asked in a cold tone.
She frowns a bit before leaning over me blocking the rain from my face.
“Well you are in the middle of the road blocking traffic is the first one.” I looked over seeing cars raging with horns and people aggressively yelling. Then I looked to her “and your in front of my way to go to my hotel. I’m not here for you y/n.” Ouch…I let out a sigh getting up slowly stumbling my way trying to get off of the road “oh no you don’t y/n. It’s dangerous and your clearly drunk.” She makes a point by tapping on my clothes.
pulling me to the pure black BMW. I was sat in the car a heater automatically hitting my face. I groaned as she buckled me in before hopping into her own seat and quickly driving to where I assumed to be her hotel “not the way to my house…” I sang out “I know y/n. Im taking you to my place…” her eyebrows creased as we took down another road the rain only seemed to thicken and so had my heart.
I sniffed as she lead me into her room helping with my clothes and shower once I got out she helped me to her bed her bed might I say anything. I sniffed again tears filling my eyes “I sorry.” Jenna stopped dead in her tracks as she slowly pulled out her own pajamas in a white robe.
She looked back to me with half lidded eyes. A sheepish smile felt on her lips as she whispered to me “We were just kids y/n.” She took in a breath now coming to me placing her body on mine just like she used to we layer back our breaths in sink as she kissed my cheek playing with my fingers and rubbing me. “I’m so sorry.”
“we were so young, too young to understand what the meaning of love was what are feeling are y/n. So…so stop grieving and love me y/n please just just love me like you used to show me what is it
.
.
.
Please.”

So I've been INSANELY busy lately and just caught up on everything from Chapter 4 on, and I stg I am FERAL right now. So, as a fellow writer, I decided to compile a review for each chapter.
Chapter 4 - Alex Burgess deserves to suffer everything Penny had been made to live through and more. I would very much like to tuck Penny in a blanket and give her cocoa and cuddles.
Chapter 5 - The way he MOURNS her! The way his every other thought is her! The way he adores her so clearly despite not having ever even spoken to her! Also, I love the idea of Johanna as a friend.
Chapter 6 - All of the Endless (Including the Prodigal) AND Mother Night checking in on Penny throughout the years is so fucking sweet to me? Like "Dream cannot guide you now, and we cannot free him, but we love him, as do you. And for that we love you the same." It's just amazing! They aren't a standard family but they still love one another so much.
Chapter 7 - That line about knowing why Lucifer was gods favorite is so smooth, lmao. Dream's introspection on why Nada wouldn't suit as his wife was also cute as hell (pardon the pun.) The gentle way he cares for her is everything, too. The commentary about his battle leathers is 100% accurate, too. He had NO right to look that good.
Chapter 8 - Penny, who has lived easily a hundred years, meeting John, who believes it's his right to force others to live in only the harsh light of truth, was fascinating. I'm also getting such strong Alice In Wonderland vibes from Destiny's maze conversation. And Dream's own protectiveness of Penny is heartwarming. And the way she can shape and revitalize the dreaming is so cool!
Overall - I also love the continuing motif of butterflies with Penny, especially since the name Penelope means 'weaver', as in "One who weaves a new path". This is just such a brilliant story. His willingness to help her and protect her is just everything to me. I cannot WAIT to see more, thank you so much for sharing this amazing story with us.
Oh my god bestie! You just made my night! 😍
Chapter 4 was so hard for me to get through and I cut out A LOT of stuff because it was just so painful and as Penelope's mom basically I literally had this moment where i just scrapped a huge chunk because it felt so wrong to like expose these very painful and very raw moments she had. And I also really truly didn't want anyone to be scarred or anything reading it. And I'm glad I did, I think the little that I gave says enough about what went down. Alex got off easy and its honestly because Dream was just done, he'd thought he lost the last little shred of hope he had and he just wanted to go home and fulfill his final promise to Penelope.
Chapter 5 is still my favorite because I was literally heartbroken writing it 😅 It was so painful to write Morpheus mourning because he feels things so deeply but also so privately. I loved that it felt so natural and so heartbreaking even though they'd never spoken (that I think also added a lot more pain 😂). My favorite part of this was when he had to kill Gregory and he was just thinking about how much she would have loved all his creations and how unfair it was. 😭 Absolutely broke me! But in a piece of Dreams chapter 8 POV that I cut out (I'm going to publish it hopefully tomorrow before chapter 9s release) he has this parallel of that moment that I just adore.
Chapter 6 I am so glad you caught Night! I plan on expanding on that a bit later, but I'm happy someone caught it! The other Endless I loved writing for! Death is 100℅ like this is my little brothers future wife I'm not letting her go without making sure she's okay first. Destruction is gonna be a big influence on a lot of Penelope's future (chapter 9 will be getting into this) the friendship she has with him is literally so soft and I adore it and so when he leaves her its heartbreaking. Despair I truly didn't know how to do and I felt meh about it but rereading it I think it actually does a great job showcasing where she's at this point in her journey. Desire is a riot! They are so fun to write and I just love all of it! I think for the twins their care is hidden under this "we just wanted to see if it was true" guise but Desire 100℅ was watching to make sure Pen was safe while she was trying to fill that void and no one can convince me otherwise.
Chapter 7 I love Lucifer's character and I truly wanted to capture that awe Penelope has when meeting them because demons she's seen and they're all grotesque but Lucifer the ruler of hell and demons is just beautiful. 😩 Love it. You can thank @true-queen-of-mischief (and a ton of other stuff because they're amazing!) for the final version of the Nada paragraph because they have a ton of knowledge on the comic books so they helped me workshop that whole things as well as the end with Penelope's mom and her forgiveness of her. Dreams gentle nature is so fun to write, its just so soft and it kills me 🥺 The battle leathers! 🥵 They knew what they were doing with that!
Chapter 8 John needs to be put down a peg and I was more than happy sending in Penny because she knows a power hungry asshole when she sees one. 🤷‍♀️ And yes! I was absolutely going for the Alice in Wonderland vibes with that scene! Destiny is going to be featured again because I literally find him so fascinating among other reasons.
Oh my god! You're picking up on some of my foreshadowing and I love it!!!! 🤭😍😩 Butterflies, her name, all of it means something which chapter 9 and 10 will be getting into and I'm SO excited for it! It was one of my major ideas for the story and Penny and so I'm so excited to see it come to life and for you guys to get to react to it! I think it's amazing, so I hope you all do too once you find out! But seriously thank you so much! I adore getting to read what you and all the other readers are thinking and loving about the story! I'm so happy knowing you guys are loving it! 😭🥰😍

TMA Season 4
I did take a hiatus for several months three episodes before the finale for unknown (depressed) reasons 🥲 But nonetheless, I stay silly
Oliver Banks relatable as hell for stealing a dead man’s identity to sneak aboard a scientific research vessel so that he can get some damn sleep
But also him laying out for John what’s happening and why and the choice he needs to make… and then John starting to breathe again…. God
Tim being the first one John asks about when he wakes up. Screaming and crying and throwing up.
And Basira immediately adding Daisy 🥲
He’s The Archivist now huh
I love Melanie so much, queen of having emotions that no one else will fucking acknowledge
Chelicerae and the story-spinner are so good, I’m 100% stealing them for DnD or something
John saying he wishes he could talk to his team and then acknowledging that he’s nostalgic for something that never really happened 🥺
Simon Fairchild is so funny, man just loves being spooky dooky
Civilian Casualties is very good. I don’t normally care that much for the Slaughter statements, but this one was tasty
Performing non-consensual surgery on your unconscious co-worker = hostile work environment?
Martin talking to the tape recorder is so fucking cute
Man, that coffin just fucking loves eating cops huh
John using his powers to track Martin down for a convo…. Gay as hell
Martin telling John that he won’t let him die again…. Gay as hell
The whole concept of “bias of survivorship” is so interesting… I know that John doesn’t want to access that knowledge, but I do
Personally think that the Flesh ritual should have been called “the Munchies” but that’s just me
Helen trapping Jared in a rat maze labyrinth is so funny, I love her
Self-harm in the name of seeking knowledge… yes 😌
Jared’s so funny for being an Avatar and nope-ing out of his Fear’s ritual. He simply did not feel like it.
ngl seems a little disingenuous to leave behind an explanation/apology to your friends for the stupid thing you’re about to do w the rib that you got yanked out of you for some spilled tea (a stupid thing to do)
*uses my evil magic powers to give my friend therapy*
Seriously though, Daisy and John have a… rocky relationship, but it was very nice for them to get some Comfort together in the midst of the Hurt
The Everchase is so good. They got the zoomies
T H E E X T I N C T I O N
Shoutout to the Web and the End for being the baddest bitches around
I do love the “protag works for the bad guys bc they’ve traded their service for the safety of the people they care about” trope
Martin putting a bunch of tapes on the coffin to help John find his way back 🥺
Very funny that the Dark’s ritual was like “what if we had a sun….. of DARKNESS 😈😈😈”
John being disappointed that he can’t watch the cursed Web horror movies… same, bestie
Gertrude saying that she cares for Gerard and doesn’t want to risk losing him stopping the Unknowing… makes me 🥺 but also lowkey makes everything so much worse
Elias telling Martin that his decision about joining the Lonely is “too important to interfere with” is so funny
Smirke’s statement is so interesting… it’s wild that someone who was so instrumental in the academia of the Fears would have a change of heart so close to the end. It’s also wild that he continues to trust Jonah despite it all. At least he got the quick death he prayed for.
The Desolation’s beef with Gertrude after Agnes is so tasty
And the way they create Agnes is so wonderfully fucked up and terrible
Agnes being destroyed by DOUBT. AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
SHE MADE THEM HANG HERRRRRRR
John getting hurt when he tries to use his powers to Know what Peter’s plans are is very good
Can’t believe Mikaele Salesa fell for the old “one last job” trap 😔 we hate to see it
Gertrude intimidating Arthur Nolan…. What a fucking girlboss
V much like Arthur’s notion that the entities understand people as little as people understand them
And him talking about how he thinks they fucked up raising Agnes bc they treated her as their messiah and not as a child 🥺
Annabelle 💜
Basira beating the shit out of Elias is very funny
Cul-de-sac is so fucking good
Daisy saving John from Julia and Trevor… Hunter v Hunter shit is AWESOME
Eric’s statement makes me crazy… I love all of the old Institute drama and it’s so fucked up to hear him being so intensely focused on keeping Gerry safe when we know in the present-day that he’s dead
John going to Martin to suggest that they both blind themselves and run away together… Gay
Cost of Living is also fucking bonkers
Melanie ☹️
Peter thinking that it’s funny to jump out and scare Martin is so fucking funny
Adelard concrete-ing an avatar to death(-ish) is badass as hell
But also very funny to imagine him doused in gasoline and about to light the match when he’s like “oh shit!!!” and runs off to write the email real quick lol
Georgie and Melanie… love wins
I love it when John tries to compel another avatar and they get into a stand-off. I think he loses to Helen because he’s acting out of the very human emotions of fear and love. To do it properly, I bet he needs to lose more of his humanity
Peter mentioning Tim and Martin shutting him down… my heart…
Jolias…..
Gertrude challenging Elias to shut the fuck up or actually kill her and him shooting her in the heart before she even finishes the threat is so camp, I love him
Daisy letting the Hunt overtake her so that she can fight Julia and Trevor AGHHHHHHHH
Elias and Peter do have incredibly divorced energies and I love them for it
Peter taunting John in the Lonely while he desperately looks for Martin
Oh god and him coming out with the “you won’t be able to hurt anyone if you stay in here ☺️”
It kills me how readily Peter gives up his statement. Yeah he resists and yeah he’s compelled, but once John gets him started it all comes tumbling out so easily… something something ironic how an avatar of the Lonely jumps so quickly at the chance of being heard and understood, the most human connection of all
Absolutely fascinated by the Lukas family dynamics… need some more statements from those bitches
Gertrude fucking stops his ritual by cancelling him, I’m….
The parallels between John compelling Martin to see him in the Lonely to follow him out versus John compelling Tim to see the truth behind the Unknowing to stop it (by killing himself)
OH IT’S THE FUCKING MEME HERE WE GOOOOO
I love Elias so much, what a fucking bitch
What a fantastic villainous monologue 💜
Oh they are so fucking fucked

respectfully requesting newt from maze runner for the character meme !!
bro you've Awakened Something in me it's been far too long since I've talked about my boy my babygirl my blorbo
favorite thing about him
his selflessness!!! throughout all the events of the series (both the books AND the movies) he's consistently putting everyone else's needs before his own. he was one of the leaders of the Glade, which meant he worked day and night to keep the order and safety there. and outside the Glade, he pulled his own weight and even put himself in danger to protect the others on several occasions (saving Minho from the lightning storm is what immediately comes to mind but I know there's a lot more). and even in the death cure, when the flare is taking over and he can feel himself changing, he still stays focused and doesn't let that distract him or anyone else from the end goal. to me it's just....heartbreaking, really. he suffered in silence because he didn't want his friends to grieve him while he was still standing there, and so he had to deal with slowly losing his mind by himself
least favorite thing about him
his SELFLESSNESS
listen I can love and hate the same thing about a guy
the fact that he was so focused on the group's survival just added so much more angst to the story and it causes me PAINNNN. like!! in the movies specifically, they were SO CLOSE to giving him the cure!!!!!!!!! they were so achingly close!!!!!!!! but he'd been fighting the virus for so long and it finally took over and he died only moments before the cure arrived. I'm fukcijgn
Tumblr media
favorite line
"great, we're all bloody inspired"
brOTP
Minho and Newt are BESTIES ok. they're besties. I cry about them every day. they're besties
same with Alby and Newt they were! leaders together! and neither of them made it out! I'm unwell!
actually on that same note. I think Minho was the oldest Glader to have made it out alive. all his friends and mentors who came before him are dead. I'm so fucking emo right now
honestly I love all of Newt's canon friendships! his friendship with Thomas is GREAT his friendship with the other Gladers is GREAT
nOTP
meh nothing really....strikes me as a nOTP tbh. in fact I don't really actively ship anyone in this series! usually when I hard-core ship something, it's because I felt unsatisfied with the media/felt like it's an interesting dynamic to be explored. I was fairly satisfied with the series as a whole and I felt like the overall point of them was complete without romance, and to add a lot of romance (excluding the thomas/teresa thomas/brenda stuff that was already there) would have just....blocked out the horror and morally gray themes, ya know? so idk I don't really have strong feelings about any romantic pairings in this specific piece of media
in fact, I saw someone point out that it would've been a stronger and more potent narrative if Thomas and Teresa were SIBLINGS instead of romantic partners and tbh that hasn't left my brain because they're RIGHT. it would've been soooo compelling ughh I'm going insane just thinking about the parallels here
OTP
all that being said, it's kinda fun to play with the narratives a bit :] most of the fic I intend to write in this fandom is friendship/family based, because of my feelings as stated above, but I'm not immune to the newtmas or minewt here <3 there's just something about two best friends who have been through hell and worse together getting to kiss <3
random headcanon
Newt actually left notes for EVERYONE, not just Thomas. he even left one with Thomas intended for Teresa, despite everything she'd done, but ofc she never got the chance to read it so Thomas just kept it in a pocket by his heart. and maybe one day, years later, after he finally found some semblance of peace and healing, he burned it to ash to finally say goodbye to them both
unpopular opinion
listen I love Newt but the fandom has a tendency to shove Minho aside to make room for him (especially hardcore newtmas shippers) which is... :/ let's all examine why that might be !
song I associate with him
Doom Days by Bastille. warning: you will cry.
favorite picture of him
Tumblr media
hair floof <3 he's so blorbo shaped here idk
send me a character!
