Thinking about how Jason only comes over as Red Hood so through your window/ up your fire escape so he doesn’t have to buzz in. When your ex finds out you’ve been seeing a guy named “Jason” he decides to come over one day screaming and banging on your door Jay takes it into his own hands and opens the door in full gear holding a gun pointed at said ex threatening to shoot him.
“Are you sure you want to do that” he says tilting his head pointing the gun at your ex
‘Y-you’re the r-‘
“ don’t come back here or I’m afraid I’ll have to shoot you” Jason says smugly
‘Youre bluffing’
“Okay” Jason shoots a near by pillar causing your ex to basically piss himself
“-fuck outta here”
Your ex just tripping over himself to leave
Jay acting like nothing happened and when you ask about hearing a gunshot he acts like he doesn’t know what you’re talking about with a smirk omg aaa

Ello! Could you match me up with a slasher?
I’m 5’8, long brown wavy hair that I put in a man bun, I’m very scruffy, silver eyes with gold specks, incredibly pale, I have “werewolf” teeth apparently, I grow my nails out long and apparently that also freaks people out haha
I’ve been told I’m very intimidating when I first meet people, but once I warm up I’m a lot softer, my friends call me a murderous teddy bear or a lose rat in the garage, I’m fiercely loyal almost to a fault, I have a hard time expressing my emotions, even one’s such as love, I hate being vulnerable and very few get to see me that way, I don’t ask for help often, I feel that asking for help is weak, I am very picky when it comes to people, I’m incredibly protective of friends/family, would literally fight anyone/thing to the death to protect their honor, I get a bit lonely sometimes but often keep it to myself, I like to listen to music to distract me from negative thoughts and stress, my music is a very personal, almost intimate thing for me, I don’t show many people what I listen too, I’m very calm in dangerous situations, apparently “scarily calm”, I’m not afraid to stand up for myself or people I love, but couldn’t care less about people I don’t know, they ain’t my problem, I build up my walls because I’m afraid of being hurt again, it takes a long time for me to trust someone but I get attached really quickly if that makes sense, I try to ask questions about things that people like so they can dump 3000lbs of info onto me, it’s good to get it out every now and again.
I love playing fantasy video games to escape the harshness of reality, writing stories, playing the piano, horseback riding, and reading calm me down, I also love to bake and love swimming, I’ve been wanting to go hunting for years and I go fishing all the time, I’m also really good at building legos, I find it very fun.
Since no one knows me irl, I will give some of my favorite bands, Five finger death punch, slipknot, beastie boys, mother mother, and Marty robbins.
I hope that was enough to go off of, thank you in advance.
I paired you up with...
♡Jason Voorhees♡
Tumblr media
I- i have to say it. Jason would be scare, he would be the one feeling in danger 
THE LOSE RAT IN THE GARAGE BIT GOT ME CRYING 
BRO YOU HAVE SUCH BIG FERAL ENERGY I COULD LITERALLY SEE JASON PICKING YOU UP BY THE SCRUFF OF YOUR NECK AND BE LIKE "yes, you're coming home with me" 
I picked Jason because he basically needs someone who would give him the unconditional care and loyalty  he deserves and because honestly he would take care of you too no matter if you ask for it or not. He won't be having none of that "asking for help is weak" thing cause if he loves you you're bound to be taken care of. You should never feel bad for letting other people help you♡♡ it doesn't make you weak if anything it makes you stronger. He won't ask for you to show or to do anything for him that you don't feel/want to, he's more than content to simply be allowed to stay with you and spend his days together. 
Man if you'll people to fight for Jason's honor, like you have no fucking idea how many DISRESPECTFUL FOUL TEENS are out there making jokes about his death  or being mean to our big forest man. 
You won't be having the problem of feeling alone ever again cause Jason would be literally following you around like a lost puppy. You're the first person he has that cares for him since his mother's death so he's just going to straight up skip the whole tough guy act who doesn't want nor needs affection part of the relationship. He will be showing all his love for you shamelessly >:) 
He would never push your boundaries though, he would never invade your privacy ecc whatever you want to tell him that's all he needs to know then. 
So you're calm in bad situations? Good cause he's NOT. Well it depends, if it's something that only affects him then he might not get too anxious but if it's something happening to you? He's becoming the biggest mother hen you have ever seen. Like he knows you can take care of yourself but he won't take the chance of losing you. He prefers having you alive and upset than happy and dead tbh
My man can't really talk but he appreciates the willingness to listen to his problems or the things you like ecc and would very happily do the same for you. He could actually cry if you decide to trust him enough to tell him about yourself ecc
HE CAN TAKE YOU TO HUNT WITH HIM. HE WOULD PREPARE CUTE LITTLE PICNICS DATES WHERE YOU BOTH HAVE A GOOD HUNT TOGETHER AND HE WOULD SHOW YOU ALL HIS TRICKS 
I- if someone gives Jason some legos i think he would never get out of the cabin. 
This matchup made me think about this song:

Do you mind doing a yandere Jason Todd with a reader who is kinda insecure about herself and thinks she isn't good enough for a relationship and that no one could ever love her? Btw, I love your work and thanks for sending me that request again, a real honor :)
Thank you for sending this request, and thank you so much for all your support. I love your work as well and thank you for doing my request, it was amazing!
Warnings: Mentions of Verbal Abuse, Angst
It is dark because I am giving background for the “no one could ever love her”.
I was somewhat stuck on what to write so hopefully you guys like it.
Flashback
“You can’t do anything right! Look at this!” Y/N’s foster dad yelled as he pointed to a single dirt spot on the floor he had made when coming into the house.
“But-“ she tried to cut in and defend herself but she got a glare that would shut anyone up.
“No buts! How are you to expect and man to love you if you keep having screw ups like this? Huh?! Answer me.”
“I clean it right away.” She said while struggling to hold her tears back.
“You better.” He growled out before leaving her in the living room with a bucket and mop.
Flashback Over
“Y/N!” She heard from behind her and she sighed quietly to herself when she recognized the voice of the boy who had been asking her out for months.
She was debating on running away, or staying where she was and would have to reject him again which resulted in jealous girls bullying her.
She chose the first option. Y/N ran down the sidewalk and quickly ran towards the direction to her home, she began to make it to an alley when she was lightly grabbed from behind and brought into the alley.
Y/N gasped in surprised and struggled against the wall she was being held to.
“Y/N! It’s okay It’s just me” Jason says as he held her against the wall but loosened his grip as she stopped struggling.
“Jason, why would you do that?” She spoke angrily as her heart was racing, it was Gotham who knows what could happen.
“I’m sorry, but you started running and then I tried catching up to you and then I panicked and yeah…” he explained looking somewhat guilty but it quickly disappeared.
“I wouldn’t have had to push her into the alley if she hadn’t ran.” He said inside his head, attempting to justify scaring her, but he looked down at the girl who was slightly glaring up at him with an adorable pout and was completely distracted.
“Y/N”
“No.”
“Will you.”
“I’m sorry no.” She spoke as she felt slightly bad for saying no so harshly but why would he keep asking out her? There were so many other, better girls.
“Go out on a…” Jason continued he knew she’d eventually say yes, but until she did he would continue asking her and attempt to make her fall for his charm. Of course he knew it wasn’t necessarily required for her to be completely in love with him before he decided to take the next step like the other Bats. Grayson had his “soulmate” as the bats called them, his fell in love with him as well so they were able to be a normal couple, other than Graysons possessive tendencies. Drake took his before they could fall in love, which resulted in many problems. Damian was still looking.
Y/N didn’t say no after him continuing on with his request so he quickly finished it and lightly grabbed her hand and held it to his lips.
“Date with me.” He spoke then kissed her hand while looking deeply into her eyes. Y/N just about melted on the spot as he lowered her hand but still held it in his.
All she could here was the shouts of her foster father who had told her day after day that no man would after date her, let alone love her. She just couldn’t understand why someone like Jason, the man everyone wanted and the son of a billionaire would want her. The girl who couldn’t do anything right.
She saw his eyes that looked like they were begging her to say yes and she was so close to saying yes before she said what was truly on her mind.
“Why would you want to date me of all people? You deserve someone you can help you and be there for you, and I- I can’t do anything right.” She repeated the words she heard so often as they were absorbed into her brain, playing like a broken record.
Jason looked at her in shock. Why wouldn’t he want to date her? He had been searching for his soulmate ever since he was 14. The day he first saw her, he knew she was perfect for him. He saw the tears that built into her eyes and he grew angry, why didn’t she believe him? Is that why she always rejected him, not because she didn’t like him in some way, but because she didn’t believe she was good enough for him? He wanted to reassure her that she was amazing, perfect even; but before he could she was running away leaving a stunned Jason behind. While he was thinking to himself, she saw his anger building and that was what lead her to running.
He turned to go after her but then he thought of a plan.
Jason went back to the manor and logged into the Bat computer and clicked on the secret file he had been making for y/n ever since he met her. It was filled with documents and pictures, even her birth certificate and her address. He was waiting until they would actually start dating to go see her house but he figured no time was better than the present and he was getting rather impatient.
He put on this red hood uniform and went to her house. Luckily her backyard had plenty of trees to hide in. Jason looked around the top floor of the house first but when he didn’t see his soulmate he checked the bottom, and luckily he did because there was yelling coming from the kitchen.
He crouched down in front of the window that was by the kitchen sink and looked into the room to see Y/N and her foster dad.
“What is this? I said I wanted filet! Not some lousy steak! Have you learned nothing?! If you can’t even do this simple task for me after I’ve spent a long day at work just to take care of you, you ungrateful child! No wonder your other parents left, I wouldn’t want you either if you didn’t get me money from the state!How are you ever going to find some unlucky man to love you?” Her father yelled and she stood in front of him slightly shaking in fear. Jason’s fists clenched and ached to grab his gun and kill the man right then and there. But, he couldn’t do that to Y/N, he wouldn’t do anything that risked hurting her.
Her foster dad finally stopped yelling at her and he sat down and ate the food she prepared. She wasn’t allowed to eat whatever food he bought for her to make. Y/N walked back up to her room with a small bowl of cereal, which was one of the only things she could eat at the house because she bought it herself.
Jason went back home and thought over what happened. No wonder she always ran away or didn’t believe him when he asked her out, not with those words drilled into her head. He knew that he needed to act fast, Jason wanted to make her feel loved.
The Next Day
Y/N walked down the halls at school like usual until she was unexpectedly pulled into a empty classroom.
She turned around to see Jason standing there with a large bouquet of her favorite flowers.
“Y/N, Will you please go out on a date with me?”
She looked into his eyes and once again saw them silently begging her to accept, and she truly did what to… but she was scared.
“Why?” Y/N couldn’t help but ask once again. To her, she wasn’t anything special, she wasn’t worthy of being in a relationship. How could she possibly say yes when she had so many doubts filling her mind.
Jason’s eyes softened and he told her everything he loved about her, from the ways her eyes shined brightly when she was happy, or the way she would lightly twist her hair when she was nervous; which she was doing as he said that making her eyes widen adorably, he told her how he loved how she tried to help everyone around her. Jason could see her shoulders rising up as if the weight of the words her father had told her were slowing disappearing, and he kept going until she was smiling shyly with slight happy tears in her eyes.
Y/N didn’t believe what she was hearing. Jason, Jason Todd, Son of Multi-Billionaire Bruce Wayne, like her. But she looked into his eyes and saw the sincerity behind them and Jason finally got the answer he wanted.
“Yes. I will go on a date with you.” Jason lightly put the flowers down on the desk then rushed to Y/N and picked her up in a hug and spun them both making her squeal slightly before laughing. Jason could hardly believe it. She finally said yes and he was happy beyond compare.
“I guess I won’t have to go with Todd’s plan.” Jason thought to himself with a smirk as he set her down on the floor and handed her the flowers and she held them to her tightly, appreciating the gesture.
“Better off this way anyway.” Jason smiled at her and she reciprocated it with one just as happy. She didn’t know she was never going to be alone again
That’s how Jason finally won over his soulmate and he was never letting her go.

Meant To Be
Pairing: Hotch x F!Reader
Summary: You are studying to be an FBI profiler with a little over a year left before graduation. When the BAU team shows up in your town for a case you jump at the chance to shadow them for a day. However, things quickly take a turn when you meet Aaron Hotchner, your future boss. And the most breathtaking man you’ve ever met. 
Warnings: None! A little dramatic??? This is a purely self indulgent, love at first sight kind of fic so just prepare yourselves. 
Word Count: 4,063
A/N: So I had a mild stroke trying to figure out the timeline for this series so please just don’t look too much into it lol.
Tumblr media
MAY 2006
FORT WORTH, TX
It was just barely six in the morning when you pulled into the parking lot of the precinct. Although the sun hadn’t peaked over the horizon yet, you were surprisingly awake. In preparation for the day you had gone to bed at eight the night before which left you well-rested and alert. There was no way you were going to let yourself be off your game. Not today. Of all your classmates, you had certainly progressed the quickest. Due to your high success rate, your professor had authorized you to shadow the team of FBI profilers that were coming to your city for a case. It was an amazing opportunity for someone with a over a year left before graduation so you immediately accepted. Not allowing yourself to make even the slightest mistake, you planned everything down to the last detail in the days leading up to this. Nothing would be able to faze you. With the confidence of a woman who’d been working in this precinct all her life, you strode into the lobby. The receptionist asked for your ID which you quickly displayed. It was only temporary but even so, there was a certain amount of power you felt when she cleared you to continue into the building. After stopping briefly to ask for directions you made your way back to the Police Chief’s office. When he hears your knock, he looks up from his paperwork with a polite smile.
“Well, good morning. What can I help you with?” Clearing your throat, you prepare your most professional voice as you reply.
“My name is Y/N L/N. We met earlier this week. I’m going to be shadowing the team of profilers who are flying in today.” Recognition crosses his features as he makes his way over to shake your hand.
“Of course. I remember. It’s nice to see you again. You’re very punctual. That’s a good skill to hang on to.” You smile in gratitude. “Well, the profilers aren’t here just yet. If you’d like you can wait in here or we can find an empty desk for you.” 
“Actually, I was hoping I could look over the case files. I’d like to be as up-to-date as possible before they arrive.” As he nods, the two of you make your way into the hallway. Towards the back corner of the common workspace is an empty desk that he allows you to sit at. While you put your things down and take a seat he disappears long enough to retrieve a file folder and set it on the desk in front of you. 
“This should be enough information for you to be able to help out. If you’ve got any questions in the meantime, you know where I’m at.” With another polite smile, he leaves you to continue his paperwork. It doesn’t take long for you to read the case file. There had been a conspicuous string of murders in the area, which began about two weeks ago. Four couples were murdered in their homes, all wealthy without children. A list of witnesses and family members had been compiled to make the interview process a little easier. You predicted you’d most likely be helping one of the profilers in questioning the people on this list so you tried your best to memorize the names. 
It seemed like hardly any time had passed when you heard the main doors of the precinct opening to reveal a group of five people walking up to the receptionist’s desk. The sight of them immediately perked you up. It was difficult to make out any individual faces at first but you knew these must be the profilers. As they each scanned their IDs and made their way into the main workspace you quickly gathered your things so that you would be ready to move the moment they were. It didn’t take long for the Chief of Police to reappear, welcoming the profilers and showing them where they could set up their equipment. Every member of the team had a distinctly different look and behavior but they all seemed to work in unison. Even though they’d only been there for five minutes they exuded professionalism and efficiency. As you watched them you had to remind yourself to breathe. You had as much right to be there as them. Admittedly they did have a lot more experience than you but that didn’t change the fact that you’re all on the same team now. 
Waiting patiently, you finish putting the case file back together and fold your hands to rest them on the edge of the desk. When the Chief of Police calls you over you gather up your things and make your way around the various desks to stand next to him. 
“This here is Miss L/N. She’s a student at our local university. She’s gonna be tagging along with you guys today for a little real-world practice.” As he introduces you, you take the opportunity to study the faces of the people in front of you. There is only one you recognize for certain. They all have their attention set on you as well which makes you suddenly very aware of yourself. “Anyway, I’ll let you all introduce yourselves.” With a nod, he turns to speak to you. “If you don’t mind stopping by my office at the end of the day, I’ll get you all checked out alright? In the meantime, have fun I guess.” He adds with a laugh before finally leaving you alone with the others. 
The first one to extend his hand to you is the one person you are familiar with. More than familiar, seeing as he is kind of your hero. You had been the one to initiate the arrangement, having sent him an email a few weeks ago. He had seemed more than willing to let you work with them for the day and he was nothing but helpful, just like you knew he would be. Seeing him now was nearly surreal.
“Y/N, I remember.” He begins, shaking your hand. “It’s nice to meet you. I’m Jason Gideon, as you know. Glad to have you on board.” 
“It’s absolutely an honor to meet you, sir. I’ve been a follower of your work since I knew what profiling was. I am so grateful for this opportunity. I am more than ready to help in any way I can.” As you speak, a warm smile lights his face. One of friendliness and hope.
“Of course. I think I speak for my team when I say we’re grateful as well. Not many people in our field get a chance to guide the next generation to a life of helping others. Anything we can do to support you as a future member of our team, we’re happy to do.” This response is entirely heartfelt and shocking to you. Of all the ways you’d imagined this interaction starting, this wasn’t what you had in mind and yet it was exactly what you needed. 
“Thank you, sir.” Was all you could manage as you work to maintain your fading air of professionalism. 
“Well, with that I’ll let everyone do their own introductions.” Almost immediately another man stepped out of line and reached for your hand. He was very conventionally handsome and the way he carried himself told you he knew that he was good-looking. The smile he flashed you was contagious as you shook hands with him.
“Nice to meet you, sweetheart. I’m Agent Derek Morgan and I am very excited to get to know you.” The woman next to him has to pull him away, shooting him a look. She seems very severe and yet when she turns to look at you there is a distinct kindness in her eyes.
“Knock it off Morgan. You’re gonna scare her off before she even gets a chance to meet anyone else.” She says over her shoulder, taking your hand. “I’m Elle. If he keeps bugging you, I’ll be more than happy to rough him up for you.” Morgan holds his hands up defensively when he catches Elle’s eye again before giving you a small wink. 
“Nice to meet you both.” It’s hard to contain your laughter but you manage, giving a small smile instead. Another woman is standing beside Gideon who shakes your hand. She is very beautiful and seems to exude confidence and grace. 
“I’m JJ. I’m the Communications Liaison for the BAU. We spoke briefly last week.” You nod in recognition. She had helped you coordinate the time and place to meet up for the day.  
“Of course. Very nice to meet you in person.” 
“Likewise. We’re excited to be working with you.” She gives you a warm smile which you gladly return before looking to the last person in the small group. He looks to be about your age, very sensibly dressed with a nice posture. There is a slight awkwardness in the way that he shakes your hand but he gives you a quick smile and you can see that he has a hidden friendliness in his demeanor. 
“I’m Dr. Spencer Reid.” He says shortly to which you politely nod. 
“It’s a pleasure to meet you.” With that, you turn back to Gideon to ask about your assignment for the day. However, you can’t help but feel like something is missing. “I read through the case file this morning so I can be of use wherever I’m needed. Did you have an assignment in mind or will I be moving around throughout the day?” 
“I think it would be beneficial for you to work with SSA Hotchner. He should be here any minute.” That’s what was missing. Hotchner. You had heard his name before but you didn’t know much about him. As you waited for him to arrive, Gideon began delegating tasks to each of the other members. Despite not being given a task yet you listened intently until the front doors of the precinct opened. 
However you had pictured Hotchner, the man that walked through that door was the furthest thing from what you expected. The sight of him striding in from the lobby made your breath catch in your throat. There was an innate power in the way that he moved. So much purpose and intensity. His eyes were dark and they found your face almost immediately. It was enough to make you squirm but you maintained your composure. Gideon turned to greet him before gesturing back towards you. “This is Y/N L/N. She’s a student who is here to shadow the team for the day.” 
With the slightest hesitation, you extended your hand toward him. His eyes didn’t leave yours for a moment as he shook your hand. 
“I’m SSA Aaron Hotchner. It’s very nice to meet you.” He spoke with a clear sense of professionalism. 
“It’s nice to meet you too. I’m looking forward to working with you. I have a feeling I’m going to learn a lot from this experience.” 
“I hope so. It was very smart of you to seize this opportunity. It does not come around often. Soak up everything you can today and I’m sure it will bring you a lot of success in the future.” You listen to him intently, nodding with a small smile. 
“Hotch, would you mind if she rides along with you today? We’ve got a list of witnesses we need to speak to and I think it would be good for her to get out in the field rather than being stuck here doing paperwork.” Gideon interjects, looking to both of you as he proposes the idea. Hotchner looks around the precinct briefly for the other team members before giving Gideon his attention again.
“Of course. Do I need to brief her on the case?” 
“Actually, I already familiarized myself with the case file before you all got here this morning.” You interrupt before Gideon can respond, causing both the men to look at you. “Sir.” You add, clearing your throat. They both share a knowing look. 
“Perfect,” Hotchner replied, with a respectful nod. Satisfied with the interaction, Gideon dismissed himself to begin his work leaving the two of you alone. “Give me a few minutes to speak with the Chief of Police and then we can get started. Would you mind waiting out front for me?” You nod eagerly which prompts him to walk back toward the Chief’s office. Once he has disappeared around the corner you make your way to the front of the building, stepping through the main doors. The cool morning air brings with it a sweet wave of relief. You hadn’t realized how hot you were until you had stepped outside. Nerves were already building up in your system when you were being introduced to the rest of the team but meeting Hotchner had tipped you over the edge. There was no denying that he was a very handsome man. The evidence was in the blush that was surely covering your face. Mentally scolding yourself you take a deep breath. You were a professional and you would act as such. No matter how deeply moved you felt when he looked into your eyes like that. 
A few minutes later Hotchner made his way through the front doors causing you to stand at attention. Moving briskly, you followed him into the parking lot and pulled yourself into the passenger seat of the dark SUV he had just unlocked. He remained silent as he began typing an address into the GPS before pulling out of the parking lot. Once you were on the road he looked over at you briefly.
“How much do you know about questioning witnesses?” He began.
“Quite a bit. I’m only about a year away from graduation so I have a fairly advanced understanding of a wide variety of concepts that pertain to profiling.” Watching the GPS, he nods. Feeling a tinge of awkwardness, you allow your eyes to stay focused on your lap.
“Good. Any real-world experience?” 
“Unfortunately no. In my courses, we do simulate certain scenarios fairly often but there isn’t much opportunity for real application.” 
“Well the best advice I can give for today is to stay quiet and watch me. If I need you to speak up, I will tell you as much. Otherwise, don’t say anything. It isn’t that I distrust you. It would just be irresponsible of me to allow someone with zero field experience to question the victim’s friends and family during some of the most difficult times of their lives. Especially without having seen what they’re capable of beforehand. I’m sure you understand.” 
“Oh absolutely. I completely understand. I know that I’m here in more of an observational capacity today. And even if I wasn’t, you’re the boss. No explanation necessary.” Hotchner is quiet for a moment. If you hadn’t been so preoccupied with avoiding eye contact, you would have seen the remnants of a smile on his face.
“I should have you talk to the rest of the team. They could learn a thing or two from you.” This causes you to laugh lightly. 
When you finally do decide to look at him the sight steals your breath yet again. He is bathed in the golden light of the rising sun and he seems almost ethereal. You can see a flash of his deep brown eyes which seemed very soft now in the glow of the sun. As though he could feel you looking at him he turns to meet your eyes although this time you don’t look away. The two of you sit there in what seems like the most eternal moment, dancing in and out of each other before he breaks away to look back at the road. For a moment you could almost swear you saw something there in his eyes, something almost like longing. It must have just been a trick of the light. 
“So, what made you decide to be a profiler?” The moment is over as quickly as it began as he speaks up. 
“Well, I’ve always had a deep fascination with the human psyche. Finding out what makes people tick. Picking apart their personalities, their behaviors. Growing up that almost felt like the only way to understand the kids around me. By studying them. Every friendship I had felt like a science project. When I found out that I could use that ability to be part of something bigger than myself, to make the world just a little brighter ... well, it was really a no-brainer.” 
“That’s very ... noble and, honestly, very uplifting to hear. With this job, you experience a lot more bad days than you do good. Sometimes it is hard to remember why we started doing this in the first place. It’s people like you that remind me this job is worth it. Hang on to those beliefs. They’ll help keep you sane, I can promise you that.” With a nod, you give him a kind smile.
“I will. I promise.” It isn’t much longer before you arrive at the first house. The interview is fairly straightforward. You stay close by Hotchner’s side as he introduces the both of you. Once you’re inside you sit quietly as he begins asking questions, merely listening and taking mental notes of the way he conducts himself. It is over fairly quickly and then you’re both back in the SUV and off to your next destination. The next two interviews are the same. On the third, he lets you ask a few routine questions. It is a simple gesture but you are very grateful for the experience and you handle yourself very well. 
Your final interview is with the parents of the latest male victim. When Hotchner knocks on the door, it takes a minute for it to open. Standing on the other side is an older man with a tired expression. 
“Yes? What is it?” The man says briskly. Hotchner pulls out his badge.
“I am SSA Aaron Hotchner with the FBI. This is Miss Y/N L/N. May we come in?” Hearing the term FBI causes the man’s expression to darken rather quickly as he looks between the two of you.
“Where’s your badge?” He questions, nodding in your direction. Remaining silent, you share a look with Hotchner. After a second of thought he gives you a small nod of approval.
“I’m not actually an FBI agent yet, sir. I’m a criminology student at the local university. I’m shadowing Agent Hotchner today as a learning opportunity before getting out in the field myself.” 
“A learning opportunity?” It takes the man almost no time to answer and you can hear a significant shift in his voice. “You’re using my son’s death as a learning opportunity?” 
“You misunderstand--” Hotchner begins in your defense before you quickly cut him off with your own response.
“Sir, I can’t begin to fathom what you’re going through. But I can promise you that my lack of experience is entirely made up for by my desire to see the person who did this to your son pay for it. It doesn’t take training to see that your son deserves justice for his death.” The man is silent but keeps his eyes locked on yours. 
“My wife and I have already told the police everything we know.” 
“We know, sir. It will only take a few moments of your time and anything you can tell us might be crucial in finding your son’s killer.” 
“No. No, we’ve already talked about this more than any parent should ever have to. If it’s that important go ask the police what we said.”
“Please, sir--” Before he can finish, the man smacks the door frame.
“It took the deaths of eight innocent people for you to swoop in and save the day. You really think I want to waste a second of my time speaking with you? I have nothing more to say. Now get out of here.” With that, Hotchner nods before turning to leave which prompts you to quickly follow. As you get near the SUV you are startled by the sound of the man’s door being slammed shut. Once inside you release the breath that had been caught in your chest. When you look over at Hotchner his expression shows a deadly calmness and you are suddenly struck by the idea that he must be pissed at you.
“I’m so sorry. That was all my fault. I upset him. I shouldn’t have said anything to him. I should have just kept my mouth shut like you told me to. I had no right to do that. I’m sorry.” The crushing weight of embarrassment and guilt settled over you. This morning you had felt more than ready but now it seemed like the day had been filled with challenges you couldn’t possibly have prepared for. In only a few hours you had managed to show your boss that you are completely incompetent. You ready yourself for what must surely be his wrath however when he turns towards you his expression shifts from one of unwavering calm to gentle kindness.
“It’s okay. I’m not angry with you. What you said was perfect, it’s exactly what I would have said. You were establishing a rapport with him to gain his trust. You did the right thing. Believe me, it wasn’t you. There is nothing either of us could have said that would have gotten a different result.” When he sees that you are still wary he shifts in his seat to face you more directly. “As a future member of my team, you have my trust. You handled yourself very impressively today. You’re going to make a very fine addition to the BAU.” 
His words ease your anxious mind as you nod quietly. Soon after Hotchner is pulling back out onto the street to take you both back to the police precinct. After a minute of silence he glances over at you.
“So ... are you still sure you want to do this?” The question catches you off-guard but it takes you no time at all to answer.
“More than anything.” This time you do catch the faint smile that crosses his lips which causes you to give a small smile in return.
“Good.” Is all he says for the rest of the ride back to the precinct.
The day is over much more quickly than you had hoped for. When you step back into the police building you make a beeline for the chief’s office, remembering his request that you find him again at the end of the day. You return your temporary ID and he fills out a form for your professor to verify your activity for the day. Once the formalities are over he bids you a good evening and shows you back out to the main workspace. The team all gather briefly to say their goodbyes as well. You thank Gideon profusely for allowing you to join them before shaking hands with the rest of the team members. As you make your way to the exit you see Hotchner standing near the main doors. 
“Thank you so much for letting me tag along today. I really learned a lot.” As you say this you extend your hand which he quickly takes. 
“Absolutely. It was a pleasure working with you and I look forward to seeing you again in a few years. In the meantime, here’s my card.” He reaches into his inside jacket pocket and pulls out his business card which he hands to you. “If you ever need anything, feel free to give me a call.” Tucking the card safely into your pocket you thank him with a smile before heading out the main doors to your car. 
Once inside you pull the card out of your pocket and sit for a minute, staring at it. Unable to control yourself you let a giddy smile paint your face. After the day you had, a year has never seemed longer. The anticipation of your future at the BAU looms over you but rather than filling you with nerves it brings you hope and excitement for the things to come. Opening a small compartment on your dash, you tuck the business card away before heading home to get a good night’s sleep filled with wonderful dreams.

Steph: *whispering into the phone* Tim I need you to come over right now and take me out on a date.
Tim: Huh? What the heck, Steph?? We broke up, like, a year ago??
Steph: My ex is here…
Tim: … The abusive one?
Steph: Yeah. If he tried anything, which I’m sure he will, I could beat him to a pulp, but, well- I don’t know… Honestly just him being here is giving me PTSD and I’m mega uncomfortable.
Tim: Give me a second.
Later at Steph’s apartment
Tim (Decked out in shades and an 80s hairstyle): Hey there, Babe, ready for our big date?
Steph: *answering the door with a muscular young man following close behind* Oh! Hi! I- I totally forgot.
Steph’s ex: Who are you?
Tim: The name’s Alvin Draper. And you are?
Steph’s ex: I’m an old friend.
Tim: Rad. Let’s go babe.
Steph’s ex: Hang on there, buddy, the two of you are going to have to reschedule your little date because Stephanie and I have some unfinished business we have to get over with tonight. I’m sure you understand. *looms over the doorway threateningly and grips Steph’s shoulder*
Tim: Is that so? Well I’m sure you wouldn’t mind my two brothers and I stickin’ around, wouldja? We took the bus here and already bought our fares for later on tonight. Tight on cash, y’know? I’m sure a fella like you knows how it is.
Steph’s ex: *starts to threaten Tim but stops short when Jason and Dick, decked out in street grunge, step into the doorway. He becomes extremely uncomfortable when he realizes that Dick is at least his size and Jason is bigger. They don’t look happy*
Tim: *smirks* Besides, I know what a catch m’gal can be. Can’t do any harm keeping an eye on you two.
Steph’s ex: *poorly acts like he feels his phone vibrating, grabs it and pretends to read a text* Holy moly, Stephanie, I’m so sorry! I’m gonna have to bail! Emergency at work! *pushes past Tim, Jason and Dick* we can do this some other time! Have fun on you’re date. *takes the stares down*
Steph: *breaths a huge sigh of relief and collapses into Dick’s arms* Thank you so much-
Dick: don’t thank us yet. You’re coming home with us tonight.
Jason: Can I kill him?
Dick: No killing, Jason.
Steph: I’m sure you scared him off. You guys really don’t need to go out of your way-
Tim: Alfred, Cass and Damian are already making up your room. You’re going back to the manor with us. No buts.
Jason: I really wanna kill him.
Dick: The answer is no Jason. Steph, I’m so glad you called us. I know you could have easily defended yourself, but you shouldn’t have to face the man that hurt you alone. *feels her shaking slightly and strokes her hair with empathy and concern* As your brother, I’m honored to back you up.
Steph: *burying her face in Dick’s jacket* Thank you so much. I could have taken him easily. It’s just- the memories-
Tim: We can help you work through those too if it would help.
Jason: And I have a way to prevent it from happening ever again.
Dick: Listen Jason, I’m not happy either but no-
Tim: Wanna blackmail him?
Dick: ???
Tim: Don’t worry Dick we won’t touch him. But there are things that hurt more than getting hit.
Jason: *grins dangerously*
Dick: *helpless* I guess so but don’t physically touch the guy. You’re in charge, Tim.
Steph: Ooh! Ooh! I can help! I have so much trash on him from when we were dating and I got him to tell me some more recent stuff tonight!
Jason: That’s my girl!
Tim: Perfect! Let’s regroup at the manor!
Steph: Let me grab my suit and computer! *hugs Dick and then pulls away and runs into her apartment with Tim following close behind*
Jason: You think old Bats will approve?
Dick: …
Dick: I know he loves Steph but I’m not sure if he’d be a big fan of your tactics.
Jason: so what are you going to do?
Dick: *deep sigh* Seeing as how that guy hurt Steph, was willing to do it again and probably is doing it to helpless young ladies, I’m not telling him anything. *grins mischievously* -Especially that I’m helping you bring him to justice.
Jason: *smiles and follows him into the apartment*

Tumblr media
@holykillercake swan!!! Sorry for the wait! Thankyou for requesting! You know how much I love Killer, This story took a while for me to get inspiration and actually write it, but here I am with this! Please don’t keep high expectations, I may not reach them.
Pairing : Killer X Princess! Reader
Word Count : 3.6K
Warnings : Nothing but Fluff, a long ass fic written by me!
A/N : Yes Its the Movie Brave! I hope you like it! Its lengthy but please give it a chance! Its the story of our favorite Pasta Boy!
Tumblr media
“Princess Y/N, its an honor to meet you. I’m Jason, prince of Goustvania, I’ve heard so much about you and your Kingdom”, Jason said as he looked at you. You both were in your garden which had beautiful plants and flowers.
“Prince Jason, don’t get me wrong but, as this is a formal meeting for suitors, and I would like to keep it that way”, the way you said it, made Jason to gulp. He was not a potential suitor and he knows that. By pulling some strings he made it to the list. There are many princes who wanted to marry you.
You were not only beautiful but were also the princess of the wealthiest Kingdoms. Not even a single death due to starvation was recorded in your country. As marriages are a part of a treaty, if a person could marry you, you’d definitely share your riches to help.
“So, I’ve heard that, your country is really big and has the absolute weaponry with a very powerful army”, she looked at the prince who was scared to even speak to her. But he didn’t want to waste the opportunity.
Putting on his brave smile, he said, “My country is beautiful and definitely has the most powerful machinery”, proudly he ended, only for you to nod in return by taking the silver cup in front of you. It contained the finest tea, which was brewed from the leaves of Assam.
“Prince Jason, but my resources say that your country is in the verge of war with another 5 countries. And in your last war, even though you’ve won, you’ve lost many soldiers. Is it true that you’ve been requiting many soldiers to compensate the loss”, you took another sip of the tea as he gulped.
“I also heard that you’ve already been engaged to princess Lucy from the snow kingdom. I didn’t hear anything about breaking your marriage”, Jason had chills sent up and down his spine because of the questions you were asking. Not even his friends knew about the information of him getting engaged to princess Lucy.
“I suppose that even she doesn’t know that you are here. The partner that I’m choosing needs to be loyal. I’m sorry but you are no longer a suitor. I’ll make arrangements for you to leave this place within a day”, you bluntly said getting up.
“Oh no, Please listen to me. I’ll break the engagement as soon as possible. Just give me anoth-”
“Please don’t make me repeat myself. Ive already made up my mind”, you replied sternly and walked out of the garden without giving him another glance.
You felt your mood was ruined after meeting him. ‘How can people be so disloyal towards their partner?’, you thought as you entered your chambers. It had blue curtains, blue carpets, a big blue bed. Simply said, it was a pastel blue aesthetic with also a touch of white to it. You had twenty minutes time before you had your next job to check the travel and trade matters of the country. You removed your closet before you plopped on the bed and closed your eyes.
Blue always calmed you down. That’s the reason why you wanted your room to be with blue stuff. Blue reminded you of the sky. The peacefulness was what you required in your hectic life as a princess, who is taking care of the country. As the King was feeling sick, you took the job on yourself and took care of the country yourself from the past two years. You knew the kings, princes wanted to marry you because of your country. Everyone was selfish and had the same motive. You were sick of this. You mostly tried not to meet princes and tried to dismiss the proposals. You wanted a person, who could love you and be loyal to you. To love the country as you loved. Would respect your opinions as a queen.
Little did you know, Prince Jason wasn’t happy with your decision. As he went to the house of the witch of your Kingdom. He sat before her and asked her, “I need a potion. A potion which can make a person to change, to go feral, like an animal”, rubbing his hands nervously he looked at the witch.
She asked no questions, just stretched her hand forward. He placed a bag of silver coins in her hand. The old witch went to her cupboard and took out a very small bottle with olive green liquid.
“Mix it in her food and it’ll do its job”, she mumbled and Jason started to return to your castle.
But little did he know, every single potion had a reversing effect. This potion was asked with a person with full intent to destruction, anger, greed. A potion was available to reverse the spell.
“My lady, my lady”, you heard a voice calling you so you opened your eyes and looked at the person before you. It was your butler Heat. You woke up with a groan and asked him, “How long have I been sleeping?”
“It’s been 30 minutes my lady, you are getting late to check the Travel and trades of the country”, he said sternly. You grunted as you sat on the bed.
“My lady, that’s not how a princess should behave and Oh lord!”, he exclaimed looking at the corset on the floor and walked towards the door, “Please dress appropriately”, he closed the door behind him.
“Damn corset”, you cursed as you picked it up. Heat was your head butler and also very skilled fighter. He talked less and worked more, a reason why you chose him as your assistant. He gave wise suggestions and always respected you.
You wore your corset with the help of a maid and went to your office to work again.
Being a prince, Jason easily slipped with the maids into the Kitchen, and saw the tray of food, which was supposed to be given to you, just before Heat could enter the place, Jason added the portion into the tea cup.
Like every day, as you were doing the paper work and Heat placed the tray of food in front of you. You took the cup of tea and savoured the fragrance. Before sipping it, you asked Heat, “Why were you late by 10 minutes?! You know how much I am addicted to tea”, your glossy eyes conveyed how you felt.
“Prince Jason was talking to maids in the Kitchen, so there were a lot of maids slacking off and not doing their respective works”, he replied.
“Is that so, then get him out of the castle as soon as possible”, you ordered and he bowed.
“By the way, don’t even think of skipping the work. Last time I had to do your work because you sneaked out”
“Tsk, how rude!”, you said to yourself as he left. You drank your tea with so much happiness and continued to work. Suddenly, you felt pain in your chest. You placed your hands on your back in an attempt to remove the corset. But even after removing the corset, your pain still didn’t subside. You fell to your knees and panted for air as you closed your eyes. Then suddenly your pain stopped. You opened your eyes and your gaze landed on your hands. Your eyes opened wide.
‘What the hell?!’, You looked at your torso and you noticed that you were not… normal.. You took the fine silver plate with your claws and saw your reflection in it. You couldn’t believe your eyes. You turned into a bear now. ‘But why? How?’, your thoughts were stopped with a knock on the door. Indicating Heat will enter now.
You didn’t know what to do, so you opened the window and jumped down it. If Heat was to see you, he wouldn’t even spare a second glance and Kill you as you looked like a bear and search for you. You slowly climbed down and escaped into the forest by not being seen by any soldier. You ran in the forest quickly trying to process everything. ‘Why? How?’, your questions weren’t stopping in your head.
You stumbled because of a rock in your way and rolled down into the deeper part of the forest. There you tackled some people in your way. You couldn’t stop rolling till you got hit by a tree in front of you. Clenching the side of your head with your claws, you slowly got up. You stood on two of your legs and cursed, “Oh Davy Jones! What have I ever done?”.
“What the hell?!”, you looked to your side and saw that you crushed 4 people and you saw a guy with a mask, standing a few meters away from you.
“Tsk, I hope I didn’t kill them”, you said and again the Mask dude flinched. You both stared at each other for a while before he spoke, “How the hell can you talk?”
Your brain took a few moments to process and then you gasped. “I can talk!!! I didn’t think I could talk! Hey Mask man, can you help me”, you asked and walked towards him only for him to swiftly take his weapons out.
You took a step back and said, “No! Don’t harm me! You don’t know who I am!”, you said as your back hit the tree. You maintained eye contact with the mask and hid behind the tree.
The man was very confused at your actions. He was actually about to fight some people but you crushed them to death. So he owed you one. He asked, “You shouldn’t harm me”.
“I won’t! And you also, please… don’t hurt me”, after hearing your request, he hid his weapons and walked towards you as you also did the same.
“How can you talk?”, he asked again.
“Oh! I am actually not a bear. I am a human, but I don’t know why I became like this. Please help me. I wanna turn back”, you requested.
‘The only reason why I am decided to help is because this bear crushed these jerks. But what it is asking doesn’t make any sense. Its way too much work’, he thought and said, “Too much of trouble. Do it yourself”, with that he started to walk away.
“No! Wait!! Please help me. If I go to any other human, they’ll freak out and I’ll be Killed. I am a human for real. Don’t leave me. If you were turned into a bear, you’d want to be turned back. Please help me, I never begged anyone in my life like this. Please understand”, you said as you walked beside the masked man. ‘Tsk… this stupid bear is kinda right’, he thought and stopped in his tracks.
He huffed, “let’s sit and talk”, he said as he sat on a big root of a tree and you sat opposite to him.
“Tell me clearly. How did you turn into a bear? Did you drink any potion or anger any witch by doing or saying anything rude?”, he asked you and you shook your head no.
“I didn’t even go to any witch and didn’t take any potion”, you replied looking down. “I never thought I’d turn into a bear. I’ve always taken care of the people around me”.
The man before you sighed and said, “Don’t be disappointed just yet. How much time has it been? Since you turned into a Bear”. You looked at him and replied, “Its been 3 hours, if Im correct. I’ve been wandering in the forest from more than an hour, and it took me a while to escape from my house”.
He hummed as he nodded and again asked you, “You said that you didn’t anger any witch but did you anger anyone in particular?”, he asked. You thought for a while and Jason’s image popped into your head.
“I… I rejected a proposal to get married and… the person was really mad at that”, you admitted.
“Did you eat anything, that person gave you?”, he questioned
“But after I rejected, I didn’t even meet that person again. I only got on with my daily tasks”.
“It doesn’t have to be given. Must’ve slipped something in your food”, the masked dude said and got up. He continued, “Let’s go, you must be hungry, Wandering the Jungle all by yourself”
You looked at him with a bit suspicion. ‘What if he kills me and sells my skin or make me a coat for himself’, negative thoughts started to run in your mind and he noticed how you were hesitating.
“Look, I have enough food thanks to the Princess. I don’t have any reason to kill you”, as he said it making your heart skip a beat.
“Okay…”, you mumbled and walked behind him to a small hut, which was inside the forest. Hiding from all the other villages. Apparently, he was a poor armorer, weapons specialist and also a former bandit. So, he didn’t want to be mingled with the villagers. He maintained few connections with some people who wanted customised weapons. Entering into his hut, you were mesmerised by the wide range of weaponry.
“Woah! You seem very talented, why don’t you work for the Princess? I’m sure she would love all your creations”, you said as the man washed vegetables and fruits for dinner.
“No way. It’s the palace. I’m sure there are so many people working for Princess anyway. Also… I’m a former bandit”, he confessed. ‘Why would a princess want a person like me in her castle working for her? I’d scare her’, he thought.
“Tsk… your talent is going waste. You would be really helpful to the army, they have been in need for weaponry and there might be a conflict with another country soon”, you replied as you took the apple and gobbled it in one bite. You were really hungry and were thankful for the food.
“Why are you speaking like you know all the things about the Kingdom?”, those words made you to choke.
“Rumours”, you lied as you drank the water from the jug leaving your claw marks on it.
“I’m sure the Princess will manage those problems in a blink of an eye”, he replied.
“Why are you so sure?”, you enquired only for him to sigh and lean back on the wall.
“Because she made the country enrich and developed the poor villages. Now people atleast can eat twice a day due to her. I became a bandit only because I had no food. But since I get food, I left that. But still some people are angry at me because of my deeds of the past”,”.
“Oh!! We have a fanboy here”, you teased him only him to trying to deny it. Even his neck was turning red because of your teasing.
“Did you see her?”, he replied by shaking his head no.
The next day you he wasn’t in the hut when you woke up. You started to search for him. Then you found him coming back.
“Welcome back! Where did you go?”, you enquired him as you looked at his mask. He noticed that you were walking on your fours this time. But the way you came towards him and greeted him, made his heart warm. He had never experienced such treatment.
“I met a customer to give his order to him. I also asked him about any witches he knew in the area”, he said and your eyes lit up with hope.
“I also met the witch and asked her about this condition, she said its cure able”, he ended and you cheered with happiness and rolled on the grass.
“YAY!!! Will she help? What should be done?”, you rolled again only for him to slip out a chuckle and stop it quickly. He himself was shocked at how you could make his sealed lips to talk more and also to let out a chuckle.
“She asked me to create something for her and in return she’ll give me the potion if she likes what I make for her”, he confessed. Guilt started to form in your heart. About how he had to work for her, to save you.
“I now need to think what she would like”, he said with relief in his voice and walked towards the hut.
After a lot of designs and dissatisfactions, you both started to eat. He cut his vegetables separately to eat them through his mask while you just ate them… well like a bear. Then you got an idea. Even if she was a witch, she was a girl after all.
“What if… you give her a blade, which can be hidden in her skirt?”, you managed to speak. You both noticed that your voice was getting hoarser than it was.
“I need to work quickly. I can’t fail you now. I guess the time is running out”, he sighed and added, “You are walking on your fours too”.
With in an hour the design was ready and the mask man started to create the new weapon for the witch. You went out and played with the butterflies as he made it.
After another hour with the beautiful blade, he stepped out of the place and waved you bye. You managed and said, “Thank… you”.
Now his time was slipping out and he had to be quick. He handed the weapon to the witch and she analysed it for a while and nodded her head as an approval with a satisfied smile. The masked man sighed in relief and took the blue potion which was in a small container. He quickly headed towards the hut in the forest. He had to save you as soon as possible.
By the time he reached home, he noticed that the hut was almost destroyed from the inside with many claw marks and the weapons were thrown everywhere. You were still in the house, emerging from the darkness. It was already evening and the sun was setting. He saw how your eyes seemed nothing like before. They were just like a wild animal. Before he could even think, you punched his face so hard that he flew and hit the wall. His mask broke into pieces because of the force.
Not giving up, he jumped on you and held your face tightly as he wrapped his legs on your waist. Your claws on his body hurt so much. Blood was dripping but he stayed like that. Trying to calm you down and call you.
“LISTEN TO ME! I KNOW YOU ARE STILL IN THERE! I GOT YOU POTION”, he screamed on the top of his lungs, as you tried to throw him away. But at last, you looked into his eyes. He had light blue eyes. Blue, was your colour. Looking into his eyes, you calmed down and stopped struggling. He took out the small container and opened the lid. He slid it into your mouth and patted your head. Soothing you down.
Slowly you could feel the change. The pain was inevitable. But you kept looking at those blue eyes of the man in front of you. That kept you sane and you closed your eyes and fell down on your knees. You opened your eyes, panting for air. You noticed that your hands were back to normal as well as your torso. Suddenly you felt a blanket over your shoulders. You looked up and saw the man with cheeks redder than any tomato you’ve ever seen. Your senses slowly got to you and that was when you noticed that you were… not dressed.
Pulling the covers even closer to you, he stepped away and walked towards the other room. He swiftly came back and handed clothes to you and without looking back he walked towards the main door and closed it.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you were… a lady?” he asked.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you were really handsome?”, you replied making him blush even more as you wore his clothes.
He wore a mask and agreed to walk you home. You apologised for messing his apartment. After you reaching your castle, he was absolutely stunned just as the guards at the entrance. He tried to leave but, you didn’t let him go. “Work for me, its an order”, you announced and walked with him still his hand in yours.
Heat was absolutely pissed at your behaviour and was surprised to look at the man beside you. “Who is this?”, Heat asked and you replied, “He is going to be our new armorer, I hired him and I want no objections from you”
“No objections huh? You leave the palace, dump your paper works on me, come back with a masked dude and demand no objections? Tell me what’s his name and where you met him?”, Heat inquired making you gulp. You turned towards him and asked, “What’s your name?”
“Killer”, he chuckled.
“Killer, I met Killer in the forest”, you said proudly to Heat as he shook his head and mumbled, “Unacceptable”. As for Jason, he thought he was scammed and never came across you ever again.
One Year Later
As you handled your paper work Killer stayed in your room to keep an eye on you. His work was exceptional and helped the soldiers to get good results in their weapon wielding. You glanced at Killer and said, “Killer why don’t we get married?”, almost giving the poor man a heart attack.
You knew he was turning into a tomato under his mask. “Killer, we have been dating since a year. Lets get married”, you said as you stood up from your place.
“Yes! Yes Lets get married”, he replied as he fiddled with his hands, head facing down. You placed a hand on his mask and removed it. Pulling him down you captured his lips with yours in a Kiss and smirked at your success. Now you were really marrying a person, who was kind, who was selfless, respected you, was loyal and also loved you to death.

A Miraculous DC Crossover
ALL RIGHT!!
I’ve been sucked into this unholy sub-fandom and I have thoughts okay? lots of them. Almost none are coherent and I don’t care. I have no plotline to write a fic but by the gods do I need to get out all my ideas.
Behold:
the Salttm
Lila, obviously. But she’s a petty nuisance at best, and an annoyingly competent akuma to fight at worst. manipulative, but not really dangerous ya feel?
Alya. which like, home girl probably doesn’t deserve but like,,, the drama??
CHLOE REDEMPTION YOU COWARDS
She and Marinette become surprisingly good friends (because I love that for both of them and you can pry it from me cold, dead hands)
Nettie-bug and Queenie
They pick on Adrien together
Mari’s friends Protection Squad That Don’t Take No Shit
Adrien
Chloe
NINO BITCH HE DESERVES MORE LOVE TBH
Alix?? Probably
Luka obvi
Felix (PV)?? Or does Marinette have enough emotionally constipated boys in her life?
(Answer: no. no she does not.)
Nath? He be a good fox tbh. creative and sneaky boi
Kagami!!! I love her
They’re all heroes because I say so.
Felix (Sparrow) is an honorary member even though he doesn’t have a miraculous
He handles PR and other background things along with Chloe
Joined up a few years back when Parisians were getting a bit too critical of the heroes
No Hawkmoth b/c fuck that guy
He existed, just not anymore. Bitch got yeeted
There’s other villains in town now. After Hawkmoth’s defeat other metas/supervillains looked at Paris and was just like, ‘free real estate?”
So now the Miraculous Team are Paris’ Actual Full-Time Hero TeamTM… yay.
Ladybug, Chat Noir, and Abielle (or like, Wasp/Yellow Jacket idk Chloe changes her name because ~identity stuff~) are the core three team. like, the wonder woman/batman/superman trio of the MTeam.
Nath is called Reynard Ambre b/c I love him
The public knows he exists but he’s never seen in battle and no pictures exist.
but there are plenty of instances where Paris knows he out mucking around because those akuma battles always get really weird.
Marinette be the guardian?
Guardian in training
Along with all the other holders b/c jesus. Give the girl a break.
Yeah. I like that Idea. All current holders are training to be guardians as well, but Mari’s going to step up as Guardian Supreme when Fu steps down.
Hero fashion!!!
The Miraculous Team is all decked out in their own merch like 24/7
Rarely is it thier own hero persona tho
Not because of like,,,, secrecy or anything. Just because they’re all nerds who love each other
Marinette is the lead producer of Miraculous Merchandise. It’s like,,, her BrandTM It was completely unintentional too
(Adrien and Chloe financially support her work tho. She designs, makes a prototype, and has her two blondes get others to replicate it)
Half of Paris is wearing her without knowing it
(Go MDC! get it girl!)
She totally makes Gotham inspired outfits because what else would she do????
Don’t get her wrong, most of Gotham’s fashion sense royally pisses her off but it’s fun and hey, supporting her fellow heroes ya know?
She wears a Robin hoodie after being officially acquainted with both Damian and Robin (separately of course)
Damian chokes on something, probably his own tongue.
It confuses Nettie. But then she thinks maybe he’s a fan too? She offers to make one for him but he steadfastly refuses much to his brothers’ amusement.
Might make a robin themed dress?? If so, she crosses paths with Robin when she does, thoroughly embarrassing her and almost sending poor Dami into a crisis.

She makes a lot of designs off the rouges gallery because like, supporting people trying to get better??? also they’re some of the few who’s aesthetic aint shit?
She can’t make all of them because she ran out of time, so the rest get posited up on her Instagram and MDC blog (that’s run by Tikki mostly. She’s a great secretary and gets bored in Mari’s purse all the time)
Everyone is very flattered
Harley, if she ever finds it, immediately commission all pieces and wears them around Gotham don’t @ me
Daminette obvi
Marinette meets him and is just like ‘wow, you’re horrible. I want five’
Marinette, in the group chat later: so I met Kagami and Felix’s love child today
Kagami and Felix, seconds apart: I would never stoop so low
immediately after: Hey what the fuck? Rude
Nino: Nettie, dearest, sunshine, light of our collective lives and reason I breathe, what the fuck
Adrien: Kagami, my love, how could you? the Betrayal
Chloe: ew
Luka: Send pics or it didn’t happen
Nath: [insert the ‘right in front of my salad?’ meme]
Whenever they cross paths as Robin and Mari, he’ll just like,,, appear from nowhere hanging upside down spiderman style. Mari finds it endearing but she also wants him to stop scaring the shit out of her
Nicknames, because I have an unhealthy obsession with them, alright?
Misc Mari names: Bug, Bugaboo, Buginette, Madame President/Colonel (when the Team’s being cheeky), Princess, Marigold, Nettie (by like, Nino and Alix)
Jason calls her Pixie-pop
The bird boys call her Nightingale/Mockingbird in like, honor of her being a kickass civillian
Mari refers to them as ‘the flock’ (and bird-brains after getting to know them better)
Damian calls her: Starling, Habibti, ya qamar(my moon), malaki (angel), ya wardati(my flower) (b/c like, angel’s cute an all but I just think Damian’s way more dramatic than that tbh. he’d put thought into his nicknames)
Mari calls Damian: mon soleil (my sunshine) (because symmetry and also Mari thinks she’d hilarious), Birdie, petit oiseau/oisillon
I like the idea of Jagged being a native Gothamite tbh
it’s just so fun honestly???
He’s probably the reason the MTeam are in Gotham in the first place? maybe? anyway, the class is there, right? right. 
Kagami, Luka and Felix are all holding the fort down in Paris. Ain't no akumas but sometimes they need backup so when certain heroes need to disappear, Nath has Trixx set up an illusion of whichever one so they can slip away with the horse miraculous.
Mari’s the one who has to leave the most because she’s still Paris’ damage control, so like,,,,, ya know.
Mari doesn’t get left behind, at least not on the first day b/c come on people! She has plenty of friends in class watching out for her and a semi-competent teacher who does care even if she’s non-confrontational to a fault.
She does eventually become separated from the group. Half because of Lila and half because she’s always fucking late and got distracted.
She actually runs into one of the civilian batfam in the first place because the class was allowed an hour or so to wander around the shopping district or whatever to explore/buy things/get food. They just needed to return to the meetup spot at a certain time but Mari is like ten minutes away when it’s five minutes to the meetup
So she’s just… fucking booking it and completely takes out this trained vigilante without trying to.
Mari, as she’s groaning on the ground, tangled around a boy: By Kwamii, I thought my luck was supposed to be good Tikki.
That or like, the subway doors close before she can get on them and the rest of the class ends up ahead of her leaving her to get caught up on some bullshit in the next train or smth.
Oh, like. Of course it’s her train that gets held hostage. Wonderful.
(Later, Mari will rant at Tikki about her luck. A common conversation between the two tbh.)
This could be where she officially meets the Batfam as the Batfam. Or, like. A couple of em, at least.
Marinette getting serial adopted by the whole goddamn batfamily because i will die for this trope tbh i dont even care
The Robins nickname her Nightingale before they realize she’s Ladybug
They still call her that after but it’s not with the intention of making it her hero name anymore
Her and Alfred are def bros you don’t understand
Actually, Gina and Alfred are old friends. Mari totally knows Alfie before the bat fam and calls him Poppy/Pépé
which floors the batfam because what? Since when does that happen???
Alfred and Mari never, like, actually met in person before, but video chats exist and Gina def talks about the two to each other so it’s like they may as well know each other.
I also like the idea of Alfred being a former holder, probably the peacock. I would adore that
Just,,,, so many fun hero shenanigans
Yeah sure. The batfam are super detectives and have a history of figuring out people’s identities in no time at all. Whatever. Where’s the drama in that though? The showmanship?
Fuck canon, the Miraculous all have glamours because magic bitch and it plays fucking hell on the Batfam and all their shit
Every single Batfam member is simultaneously pulling their hair out because they don’t know who these heroes are???? Why can they figure them out?? Confusion???????
Miraculous team is just…. Straight up laughing at them. The poor dears.
That one gag where it’s a well-known secret that Mari has connections to every Parisian hero and is basically their own personal catering service/comfort place.
Also, it’s the worst kept secret in Paris that Mari is Multimouse
None of the MTeam have confirmed that rumour but they also don’t deny it.
they actually started the rumour. If all of Paris thinks Mari’s the mouse, a temporary hero, no one’s going to think she’s Ladybug/or that she’s an easy target to go after
chloe actually came up with that one
Mari meeting all of Damian’s ‘associates’ (ie pets)
She adores all of them and they her.
Especially GOLIATH, why isn’t he talked about more honestly???? He’s GREAT
She meets Goliath as Ladybug and Robin is just… so done with him??? You are supposed to be a fearsome beast and a professional why are you rolling over and expoSING YOUR STOMACH??? Meanwhile, Ladybug is just: Awww! Who’s a good boy? Who’s the best boy? You are! Look at how handsome you are! Cute widdle baby-
Miraculous Team hanging on the roof of their hotel kinda chilling
Maybe having a debate about doing some free-running/parkour?
Also maybe about whether or not they should be heroes while in Gotham
MT being like, why can’t we go and stop an armed robbery? we can help!
“Gotham already has very active heroes-”
“Vigilantes!”
“-whatever. I don’t want us stepping on any toes. This isn’t our terf and Batman’s known for being strict about Metas rolling around here.”
“We aren’t Metas though.”
“I don’t think he’ll enjoy splitting that particular hair, Nino. Just- not unless lives are at stake, okay? Emergencies only.”
“Yes, Colonel Ladybug.”
This debate most def gets crashed by batfam and confusion ensues upon both sides
batfam didn’t hear anything, they’re just really confused about these french kids hanging out on a roof in Gotham
Just.... yes. all of that. I have like, more but those are not organized or even remotely coherent. here you go! I might write for this but I already have other fics rn so... it wouldn’t be for a while. and as I said, I have no plot.
take this though, i guess. *throws confetti*

Genderbent Slasher Headcanons
So yeah, this is based on the kotobukiya horror bishoujo figures cause I'm a weeb and a perv, but I do add the scars, deformities, and blemishes present on the guys to some extent. Cute girls make me weak and so do murder men, so putting them together has stolen my soul.
Jay Voorhees
She's very shy, like, unbelievably shy. The first thought that crosses her mind when someone intruders on the camp is to hide. She's actually scared of people, the poor dear! That's not to say that she won't kill you; she has a machete for a reason, you know. However, she does prefer trying to scare people away if she can.
She's not as tall or built as her male counterpart, but she has a body to put most average guys to shame. She's strong as hell, and tall to boot. 6'4" and she can easily lift a guy with one hand. Frankly I want her to do that to me but y'know-
Now let's say she found herself an S/O, someone kind who can look past her asymmetrical face and intimidating presence and can see her for the sweet, cute woman she is. She is SO affectionate. compared to Jason, she's actually very likely to initiate touch with her S/O. Would cuddle you all day if she could, but she doesn't know her own strength either. She needs reminded that you have ribs and that they'll break if she's too rough on you.
Better yet, she craves positive attention and you should give it to her. Pet her hair, kiss her face, and can she please be the little spoon? She thinks herself too man-ish sometimes and isn't comfortable in her own brand of feminity, so treat her like a princess. Bring her wild flowers and tell her that her eyes remind you of the lake itself, but also remind her that you love a strong woman and she is no less a woman for her body and interests.
Marybelle "Sissy" Sawyer
Thicc Texan girl, need I say more? She's all plush curves and has a total mom bod despite not actually being a mom. She has the personality to match too! Taking care of your older brothers will do that to a lady. Don't get me wrong, under those plush curves is ton of muscle! She's 5'7" without her boots on, but don't let that fool you, she will knock your ass to the ground.
Slightly more assertive than Bubba. Now it's not by much, but Drayton isn't nearly as hard on her. He's still mean, but he recognizes how sensitive his baby sister is and hates to make her cry. In fact, all three of her brothers are very protective of her. She's still in charge of the meat though, so she's still no pampered princess.
Now, prospective S/O, you will get the shovel talk of a lifetime. "You hurt our Sissy and you won't even make a good stew meat when we're done with you," that's what the Sawyer men'll tell you. No worries, Sissy loves you too much to let them hurt you.
Speaking of loving you, she's another big cuddle bug. She's very gentle though, and likes when you rest your head on her chest and thighs so she can play with your hair and be close to you. Would love to do fun things with you, like doing your makeup together! She's got an eye for color, even if she is heavy handed. Don't wear makeup? She likes to make crafts too, or just relax with you when you have the chance.
Freddie Krueger
(no I'm not going to change her name, nothing works quite like Freddy does so I'm just going with the feminine form of it.)
A party girl. That's it. She'll drink every last drop of booze you have and pull some wild shit. She's also really bitchy. She's a ton of attitude in a really small package. How small? 5'2" and if you mention it, you might just end up on the business end of her glove.
Would never admit it, but she's genuinely a little insecure about her burns. She's nowhere near being a burnt chicken nugget, like another dream killer we know, but she has a good number of marks on her body. She enjoys how scary they make her though and, like nugget man, will use this to her advantage.
Oh, S/O, you poor soul, you've chosen a high maintenance woman, that or she chose you. Either way, she wants your attention. She's all for PDA and will push your boundaries as she sees fit. Likes to mark you up in hard to cover areas. Also, somehow, still refuses to admit that she just wants love. She'll swear up and down that she's not a cuddler, but will always end up in your arms at the end of the night.
Michelle Myers
Shes far more outright hot headed than her male counterpart. Where he will watch a victim with a simple curiosity, she will twist the knife, fire in her good eye as she drinks in their pain. She looks like a model in many ways. She's the type of woman everyone wants or envies, until they end up her victim, that is. She's 5'11" and has an average build. Not skinny, curvy, or muscular to any extreme.
She seems cold, and she is, but it's because doesn't know how to deal with her emotions. Small things set her off and it's not pretty. She likes calm places and calm people. You have to stay calm and alert if you want her to be interested enough in you not to kill you.
So she's chosen you to be her S/O, how exciting! Don't expect her to court you for long, she isn't a patient woman. You'll know she's interested when you find her in your bed at 2am. She's possessive too. Any kisses she gives are ravenous and leave you with bruised and bitten lips. She marks you as hers, carefully carving her initials onto you. And she is always big spoon every time you cuddle. If you try to hold her she'll kick you off the bed or into a wall.
But if you are calm and patient where she is wrathful and impulsive, Michelle will show you another side to her. Her kisses will lose their hunger and will gain a gentleness to them. She still marks you, but with her mouth and teeth rather than her blade. And finally, she'll sit in your lap and let you hold her. To have her feel so safe with you is an honor and an achievement.

I’m Happy Right Here with You
Hi guys!! This story was born out of some prompts that were sent my through comments on my story Didn’t Think on AO3 as well as here on tumblr. So, be sure to check out my prompt list if you want some more stories :)
Great big thanks to @doc-pickles for being my beta!!
What is so special about this fic is that it is a birthday gift for Nat!! Happy Birthday Nat! I hope you enjoy this fun and rather long, jolex fic!
89 - “Oh God, please don’t tell me we had sex.” 
33 - “Put me down. You know I can walk, right?”
92 - “Don’t freak out, but I think I’m pregnant.”
Season 10 AU where Jo and Alex do not get together in 9x24, but she moves into the frat house with him and Cristina
“You know what you need? Some picture frames. And throw pillows. Ooh! And some comfy blankets that you put on the couch. Coasters too! We leave beers lying around everywhere and all of the new furniture are starting to get water rings on them.”
“You know, when I asked you to come to Target with me it wasn’t so you could criticize the house,” Alex rolled his eyes.
“I’m not criticizing the house,” Jo looked at Alex pointedly. “I’m just saying that we could really use some things to make the place more homey. It’s not like you don’t have the money for it, the rent check I give you every month is proof of that.”
“The house is homey,” Alex scoffed. 
“No it’s not. It’s like a frat house,” Jo laughed. 
“Exactly,” Alex grinned. “That’s all part of its charm.”
“Oh whatever,” Jo shook her head. “You just don’t want to admit that you’re too damn cheap to do anything about it. That and if the house looks barren and creepy, the women you hook up with are less likely to want to come back.”
“Woah... just hold on a minute there. The women always want to come back,” Alex smirked. “And it’s never because of the house.”
 “You disgust me,” Jo choked on the water she had been drinking. 
“That’s because you’ve never slept with me.”
“Yeah, and I’m never going to.”
“You say that now princess,” Alex teased. “But I promise you that if you did, you’d be coming back for more.”
“Shut up,” Jo slapped his shoulder playfully as they continued to browse around for items. 
Jo would be lying if she said she’d never thought about it. In the past year that she’d known Alex, she’d acquired a new best friend. At first, she tried to convince herself that she wasn’t attracted to him. He was an ass and a douche at times, but funny and sweet if you took the time to pay attention and get to know him. Eventually, the good things about Alex started to outweigh the bad and Jo found herself growing impossibly closer to this man. 
So when Jo started having feelings for Alex, it wasn’t something unexpected. There were so many moments that she had just wanted to grab his face and kiss him, but she had never wanted to mess it up. Alex was the most important person in her life. She never felt like she had anything to lose before she met him. So she kept her mouth shut and continued like nothing was different, even after Jason and the tree and the storm. 
Besides, it’s not like he reciprocated her feelings. Alex was all for hookups and one night stands, and had the emotional maturity of a sixteen year old. Relationships weren’t his thing, and Jo didn’t think she could handle being another notch on his belt, not when her feelings were involved. She didn’t want to make a fool out of herself, especially after seeing the types of girls Alex brought home. He had a type; they were all tall, skinny, blonde, with model-esque features. She on the other hand, was average height, brunette, and a little thicker than his usual parade of women. 
Unbeknownst to Jo, Alex had been thinking about how much he wished he had the balls that night in the NICU to tell her how he felt. Honestly he hated when she brought up his sexual escapades, it reminded him of how much he didn’t deserve her. Jo was special. He was in love with her. He’d even confessed it to Cristina months ago. But he was screwed up. He didn’t want her to end up like every other girl he’d ever been with—all messed up because they got involved with him. So he kept his mouth shut, hoping the feeling would go away. 
That all flew out the window when Jo moved into the house, her bedroom right next to his. Her presence and importance in his life was that much more tangible knowing that all that separated them was a wall. That knowledge led to him escorting a new girl up to his room every other week in hopes of distracting himself from the overwhelming desire to knock on her door.
Alex looked over at her and noticed she seemed to be deep in thought, “Earth to Jo. You okay there? You seem a little weird.”
“Huh,” Jo turned her head in his direction. “Yeah I’m fine. Just thinking about what I want for dinner tonight. I was thinking of ordering from that taco place down the street from the house. Do you want some?”
“I’d love some, but we can’t order tonight. It’s Mer’s 35th birthday and we’re having the party at the house remember? She thinks she’s just coming over to drink tequila with me and Cristina, but Shepherd planned the whole fiasco. He’s over there setting up and I was told to buy some stuff to make the house look a little nicer.”
“Crap that’s tonight?” Jo asked. “I don’t really have to go to that right? I mean—I don’t know how I feel about partying with my bosses.”
“Of course you have to go,” Alex furrowed his brows. “Do you know how weird it’s gonna look if you’re not there? You live there, they can’t kick you out of your own house. You’re going and you’re going to get drunk and sing karaoke and dance on the table in your underwear.”
“No way,” she protested. “I do not plan on getting drunk off my ass at a party with my bosses.”
“Why not?” Alex questioned. “We’re all gonna be drunk off our asses. No one will even remember. Besides, you get drunk off your ass with me all the time. And half the time Cristina is there to witness it.”
“That’s different,” Jo defended. “You are my best friend and I live with you. It’d be weird if you never saw me drunk off my ass. Well that, and I respect my other bosses. And Yang... well... Yang doesn’t scare me as much as Grey does. Plus half the time she’s not even home. More often than not she’s in the woods with the Chief doing it in his trailer.”
Alex snickered, “True. But did you just say you’re more scared of Meredith than Cristina?”
“You know we call her Medusa right?”
“Yeah it’s a good one,” Alex laughed. “You know they used to call me Evil Spawn.”
“Hate to break it to you, but they still do.”
“Shut up. At least I’m getting some on a relatively normal basis,” Alex glared at her playfully. “When was the last time you got laid? You’re super uptight.”
“I am not uptight!” she exclaimed. “And it has not been that long since I got laid. The last time I had sex was... shit.”
“What?”
“I can’t remember the last time I got laid. It’s been that long.”
Alex snorted, “Wow. Well, like I said, if you get really desperate... and I mean really desperate... I’m right next door if you ever need anything.”
“Go to hell,” Jo stuck her tongue out at Alex like a child. He laughed and told her to hurry up and go find what she wanted to buy for the house before he changed his mind. 
The rest of their Target trip was uneventful and they made their way back to the house to finish whatever Shepherd was planning. By the time 8pm rolled around, all the decorations were in place, the guests were in their hiding places, and the liquor was ready for consumption. When Meredith finally walked in, they all yelled surprise and the party got started. 
It was quite the party, too. It reminded Alex of the party that Izzie threw in this very house during their intern year. People underestimated doctors’ abilities to party and consume alcohol. And with Meredith being the guest of honor, there was no shortage of the hard stuff. He had to say, Derek really outdid himself with this party. He planned something that screamed crazy, dysfunctional Meredith Grey and it was quite refreshing. So refreshing, that even Jo decided to loosen up and have a few drinks, since she saw her superiors let loose. 
A few beers and way too many tequila shots in, they were both pretty wasted, as was the majority of the party.  People slowly began to leave and Alex took that as his cue to go upstairs.
Leaving the hosting duties to Cristina, Alex trudged up the stairs with a heavily inebriated Jo trailing behind him, giggling about something. They reached the top of the stairs and were about to go their separate ways when something shifted. It could’ve been the alcohol or just the pent up desire bubbling up under the surface, but one minute he was standing at the top of the steps and the next he was kissing Jo and pushing her into her bedroom.
*****
Jo woke up with a pounding headache. She hadn’t even opened her eyes yet, but she could tell she was going to have one hell of a hangover. She attempted to open her eyes only to close them again due to the stark brightness. She wasn’t exactly sure what time it was, but it was definitely late morning. As Jo laid there, she realized something. She wasn’t alone. There was an arm wrapped around her midsection. 
Alarm bells started going off in her head as she racked her brain for any memory of what happened last night. Just as she was going to open her eyes again to see who she had ended up in bed with, she heard an unmistakable groan. She knew that groan. She knew those arms. 
The hand that had been on her waist brushed her breast before freezing, “What the hell?” 
She took a deep breath and spoke, “Don’t freak out.”
The hand on her breast pulled back instantly, as if it had been burned. The man attached to it sat up quickly, “Oh God, please don’t tell me we had sex.” 
Jo lifted the blankets to look at her naked body that was now littered with love marks. She cringed, “We had sex.”
Jo looked up and finally locked eyes with none other than Alex Karev. He looked wrecked and Jo was sure that she probably did, too. They stared at each other with a mixture of disbelief and horror on their faces. 
“Ah shit,” Alex rubbed a hand over his face. “Jo, I’m so sorry.”
“Don’t be sorry,” Jo shook her head. “It takes two to tango. Plus, I must’ve enjoyed it because you have a hickey on your neck.”
Alex placed his hand on the spot before finally turning to look at her, face turning up in a smirk, “So do you.”
They looked at each other, cheeks flushed before bursting out into laughter. “Ow, be quiet.” “No, you be quiet.”
“I can’t believe we had sex,” Jo remarked in disbelief. “And I don’t even remember most of it.”
“Me neither,” Alex admitted. They slipped into another fit of giggles, the leftover alcohol in their systems seemed to still be affecting them. By the time their mirth died down, the reality of what happened sunk in. It was ironic, just yesterday they had been talking about how they’d never sleep with each other. 
Jo moaned as she stretched to get out of bed. Alex furrowed his brows, “Are you okay?”
“Yeah,” Jo replied as she brought the blankets up to cover her chest. “Just a little sore.”
“Oh, God. Don’t tell me I hurt you,” a concerned look crossed Alex’s face. 
Jo chuckled awkwardly, “No you didn’t hurt me. It’s... it’s a good sore.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah.”
“Well... um... I’m gonna—um... I’m gonna go get ready,” Alex stuttered.
“Hmm... yeah me too,” Jo bit her lip and nodded as Alex stood up and searched for his pants. For the first time, she actually took a moment to look at him, watching as she saw as the muscles in his back and arms contracted as he pulled his pants over his legs and ass. 
Almost as if he could sense her stares, Alex turned around, “What?”
“Nothing,” she cleared her throat. “It’s just... um... you have scratch marks on your back.”
He titled his head to look at his back and sure enough, found a few red scratch marks. He began to laugh again, “Oh wow. That’s just... Sorry, I’m just gonna leave.” 
Just as he was going to walk out the door, Alex stopped at the threshold and looked at Jo, “Um, Jo... You might want to wear a turtleneck today.” 
*****
It had been a week since Jo and Alex had woken up together after their drunken night. In that week, the memories of what happened had returned. Knowing and remembering that night was so much worse than having no memory of it. 
For Jo, it was as though her body would forever be imprinted with the reminder of that night. Too often that week, she had found herself daydreaming about that night. She could almost feel Alex pressed against her. She could almost hear the moans he let out as he made her feel like the most precious thing in the world. She could almost taste his lips and feel the ghost of them against her own. Now she understood. She understood why women always got hung up on Alex Karev, because he was incredible. And not just in bed. He was incredible in every way and she wanted more. 
For Alex, remembering that night was torture. Every nerve in his body cried out for Jo. The very little self-control he had left was threatening to fall apart. Before it was easier. He didn’t know what it was like to have her; to be with her. Now that he had, it was taking everything within him to not knock on her door night after night. The mere thought of another woman no longer excited him, he was ruined. Jo had completely ruined him for anyone else. He wanted her and not just her body. He wanted all of her. He wanted everything with her.  
Which is why, for the entire week, he’d been avoiding her. He made sure she wasn’t on his service. He was careful to ensure they were on opposite schedules so that he didn’t have to see her at home. Opposite schedules also meant that he’d have less of a chance of slipping up and doing something stupid like telling her he was in love with her. Any time they just so happened to be in the same room, he’d avoid making eye contact and walk the other way. 
By some unfortunate miracle, that morning, all three of the frat house residents were on the same schedule. It was a rare occurrence for all three of them to be leaving the house at the same time. As he walked into the kitchen, Alex was careful not to brush against Jo while trying to get to the cereal in the pantry. He kept his eyes fixed on the box of cereal and remained silent as he readied his bowl. Jo’s eyes flicked up at him before burying her face in the piece of toast she was eating and decided against bringing up what would be an extremely uncomfortable conversation.
What the two of them hadn’t counted on was Cristina’s overly observant eyes watching the scene unfold before her. 
“You too are acting weird. Hairball is always chatty in the morning and Evil Spawn, you always come up with a way to be a pain in Wilson’s ass before 7am,” Cristina took another bite into her apple before speaking. “Did you guys fight? Is that what this is? Does someone have hurt feelings?”
“Everything’s fine,” Jo answered.
“It’s none of your business Cristina,” Alex snapped.
She stared at them for a while longer when she let out a gasp of disbelief, “Oh my God. You two had sex! That’s why you’re acting so weird lately! Finally! We’ve all been waiting for it and you guys just won me some money.”
The two of them stared at her like deer in headlights. Neither said anything, causing Cristina to laugh hysterically, “Oh God. You guys haven’t talked about it. You’ve been avoiding each other. Now tell me, was it horrible? Did someone cry? Did you have trouble... you know? Ooh! Does Wilson have a secret penis?”
“What? No!” both Jo and Alex exclaimed.
That when Cristina, finally understanding what happened, gasped, “You guys liked it! You loved it and you want more.” 
Jo’s face was red and hot, “Yang, please stop.”
“You know, I was having a bad morning but I knew you’d make me feel better,” Cristina snickered. “Well, I’m going to work. Have fun carpooling together.”
“Dr. Yang! Wait!” Jo called out. “I’m ready. I’m coming with you!”
As they hopped in the car, Cristina eyed Jo, “You know, you should just tell him.”
“Tell him what?” 
“That you’re in love with him,” Cristina stated. “It’d be easier then whatever the hell you’re doing. Just get it all out there. No fear, no shame. And who knows, maybe you’ll be surprised and find out he feels the same way.”
“He does not feel the same way,” Jo sighed. 
Cristina, who knew for a fact he did, scrunched her face in confusion, “How do you know for sure?”
“Because I’m not his type,” Jo pointed out as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. “He’s got a type. Tall, skinny, blonde, perky, bubbly. I am none of those things. I’m average height, I actually have some meat on my bones, brunette, and I’m sarcastic, jaded, and all kinds of complicated.”
Cristina rolled her eyes, “The only reason Alex chooses the same type of girl to hook up with is because he knows that no one with substance would be up for what he’s looking for. You have a personality. Use it.”
Jo stared at her incredulously, “Why are you being so nice to me?”
“I am a nice person,” Cristina glanced at her before putting her eyes back on the road. “And I don’t think I can live with the two of you pining over each other. Just be with him already. Then I won’t have to feel the sexual tension while I’m trying to eat breakfast or watch a movie.” 
*****
A few more weeks passed, and although they weren’t back to how they were before the incident, Jo and Alex had decided to put that night behind them and try to be in the same room together again.  After about a month, Alex finally felt comfortable enough around her not to jump her bones and decided to request her on his service. He had an interesting case coming in today and was sure that she wouldn’t want to miss it. 
Alex walked up to the residents’ lounge and popped his head in, “Wilson! Let’s go. You’re on my service today.” 
Jo looked up at him with a surprised expression on her face, “Really?”
“Yup,” Alex nodded. “Let’s go. We got a super cool case today.”
She smiled widely and turned around to the other residents, “So long suckers.”
Stephanie rolled her eyes, “Oh please. You’re just excited you get to hang out with Karev today.”
“I think it’s unfair that she gets on a cool case just because he’s into her,” Leah pursed her lips.
“He’s not into me,” Jo said, pulling the scrub shirt over her head. She grabbed her lab coat and walked out to the hall where Alex was waiting. “Hey! So, what do we got?”
“Take a look for yourself,” he handed her the tablet.
She scrolled through the chart and read the kid’s information, “No way! He’s got Hirschsprung’s disease? There are like less that 200,000 cases of that per year around the world.”
“I know,” Alex grinned. “When I saw it I got excited and thought, why not share the excitement with my favorite resident?”
“You really shouldn’t pick favorites you know. People might start to suspect something is going on.”
“Oh please,” Alex scoffed. “Everyone’s got a favorite resident. Ross is Yang’s, Edwards has been working with Bailey a lot, Warren is tight with Webber, and I basically had to fight Torres for you. So, choosing favorites is normal. It means we see potential in you for our speciality. Which, by the way, since when do you love ortho so much? I thought you were considering peds.”
Jo smiled, “Well, I haven’t really been on your service for the past month so I had to find somewhere to shine. Torres says my aggressive tendencies are just what you need in ortho. It’s quite the rush. But, I must say, you might just turn me back onto peds if you keep putting me on cool cases like this one.”
“Haha, okay.”
They did their rounds and went to prep four year old Oliver Maxwell for his Hirschsprung’s bowel resection. As they walked into the room Alex shook hands with the parents and gave the kid a fist bump, “Hey Ollie, how are you feeling?”
“Eh,” Ollie shrugged. “I’m weady to feel betta. You can help me feel betta Dr. Awex?”
“I sure can, kiddo,” Alex grinned. “Dr. Wilson and I are going to go into your belly and take out all the bad stuff and make you feel so much better.”
“Good,” Ollie smiled.
Alex looked up to Ollie’s parents, “Okay. So, we are going to perform Ollie’s bowel resection in about an hour and a half. I’m going to send in an intern and a couple nurses in thirty minutes to make sure everything is ready for him to go up to the OR. We’re very hopeful that once the bowel resection is complete, he will no longer have any issues. However, since Hirschsprung’s is so rare, I would personally like to do a follow up every 3 months for the next year to see how he’s doing.” 
Mrs. Maxwell nodded, “Alright. And the surgery is a simple one right?”
“Yes, a bowel resection is a very routine procedure that we do everyday. However since he’s got Hirschsprung’s, the technique we use will be altered in order to fit his condition. But, if all goes well, he should be just fine.” Jo assured.
 “I’m sorry,” the woman apologized. “I’m just worried. You know how it is. To have your kid in the hospital. Do either of you have children?”
Alex shook his head, “No, neither of us have kids. But I do have a niece and nephew and a few months ago I had to give my niece, Zola, some stitches on her forehead. Her mom, who’s also a surgeon, was so worried and it wasn’t even anything serious. There are no rules when it comes to sick, hurt kids. If a surgeon is worried about their kid’s cut, it is completely normal for you to worry about your kid’s surgery.”
Jo smiled proudly. Alex had a long history of being great with kids, but not so much with the parents. It made her happy to see that he had developed himself and grown in the time she had been off his service. As they said goodbye to the parents, she gave him a cheeky look.
“What?” he asked.
“Nothing.”
“Whatever... go eat a snack, take a power nap, use the bathroom and meet me in OR 2 in an hour,” he instructed.
Their surgery went extremely well. Ollie did fantastic in surgery and would make a wonderful recovery. They updated the parents and continued on with the rest of their cases. 
“Nothing like a bowel resection on a Hirschsprung’s kid to start out your day,” Jo sighed.
“Ahh you see, there it is,” Alex motioned at her. “There’s that peds glow. I may be able to steal you back from Torres after all.” 
“Shut up,” Jo shoved him playfully. “What’s next?”
 *****
Another two weeks passed and Jo and Alex were back to normal, teasing each other, hanging out, and working together. It was nice being on peds again, she got to spend time with cute little kids, watch and assist on awesome surgeries, and hang out with her best friend. Today, they had done 2 appendectomies, 1 bowel resection, removed a neuroblastoma, and assisted on a peds trauma that came in. She hadn’t been feeling all that well today, and it could be the fact that she was around sick, germ-infested children all day. Her head was hurting and it was progressively getting worse as the day went on. To top it all off, her stomach had started hurting about an hour ago, but she pushed through the last couple hours of her shift.
As she got in the car later that evening, Jo was sure she was going to throw up. She must’ve looked green, because Alex looked at her from his spot in the driver’s seat, “Dude are you okay?”
“I think I’m gonna hurl,” she pressed a hand up to her mouth. 
Alex searched around the back seat and produced a trash bag and handed it to her, “Here. If you’re gonna vomit, aim for the bag.”
She glared at him, “Why do you even have trash bags in your car?”
“I like to be prepared,” he replied. “And I don’t like a messy car.”
Jo closed her eyes and tried to take deep breaths to distract her from the moving vehicle, in hopes of making it home. She must’ve dozed off, because the next thing she remembered is being lifted out of the car, and into the house. She opened her eyes and saw Alex cradling her closely, “Put me down.”
“Huh?”
“Put me down,” she mumbled. “You know I can walk right?” 
“I don’t mind,” one side of Alex’s mouth turned up in a small, sweet half smile. “Just relax.”
Jo closed her eyes again, she could tell that this time, she would fall asleep for real. Something about those arms made her feel so safe and warm. It was the closest they had been since the night they spent together and she couldn’t help but lean into him. Eventually, he reached top of the stairs and laid her down in her bed, pulling the covers up around her. Thinking she was asleep, he leant down and pressed a small kiss on her forehead, “Goodnight Jo. I hope you feel better.”
“Alex,” she called out. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
*****
The next morning Alex was awoken by the sound of his bedroom door being slammed open. Startling out of sleep he looked to see who was at the door, “Jesus! Cristina. What the hell? It’s early.”
“Sorry Evil Spawn,” Cristina walked in and made her way into the bathroom. “But Hairball is all over my bathroom puking her guts out and I need to get to work. I’ve got a very important surgery scheduled and I need to prepare.”
“How long has she been throwing up?” Alex asked.
“I don’t know. The past hour, maybe?” she shrugged. “Did you guys drink too much last night?”
“No,” he shook his head. “She was feeling sick at work yesterday and almost threw up in my car on our way home. By the time we got here, she had fallen asleep and I had to carry her up to bed.”
“Well she’s definitely sick,” Cristina surmised. “Don’t know what it is, but I do know that I cannot catch whatever she has because I have very important patients that need me to save their lives.”
“I’ve got the day off. I’m gonna go check on her,” he got out of the bed and put on a pair of sweatpants before walking through the hallway to the bathroom. He stopped outside the door and knocked, “Jo you okay?”
She groaned, “No.”
Alex pushed the door open and found Jo sitting on the floor with her head against the wall, “You know I’ve got to say... this isn’t your best look.”
She glared at him, “Shut up. I feel like crap.”
“You look like crap,” he crouched down to the ground and wrapped an arm around her. “Hey. Look at me. You want me to tell Hunt that you’re not going to work today?”
She nodded, “Yes please.”
“Okay. I’m going to call him right now.”
She hummed in response and crawled over to the bathroom cabinet where she kept the medicine. As she was searching through the cabinet, her eyes fell on a box of tampons. In that instant, Jo could’ve sworn that her heart stopped. She picked it up and traced her brain, trying to remember the last time she had used one. It had been at least two months. How the hell did she not notice? 
“Hey I called Hunt,” Alex came in, startling her. “You okay? Oh... do you need me to go buy you some more tampons?” 
Jo shook her head, “No. No... I don’t need them.”
Alex looked at her strangely, “Okay...”
She took a steadying breath, “I’m gonna say something, but you have to promise me you’ll stay calm.”
Alex sat down on the floor next to her and cradled her face in his hands, “Jo, you’re scaring me. What’s wrong.” 
She looked at him nervously, “Don’t freak out, but I think I’m pregnant. I haven’t had a period since... before we...”
Jo wished someone would’ve been there to see the exchange, because the look that crossed Alex’s face was one that she would’ve wanted on film. He was doing his best not to freak out, but his eyes were wide as saucers and his jaw dropped. He took a deep breath and closed his mouth before nodding at her, “Okay... okay. That’s fine. It’s gonna be alright. We’ll go get the test right now. How about you get in the shower and I’ll go to the store.” 
“Okay,” Jo agreed. 
The drive to the drugstore was a heavy one. Alex was doing his best to keep it together, he couldn’t freak out. Not when Jo might be pregnant with his baby after one drunken night together. When he finally made it into the parking lot, he stopped and banged his head on the steering wheel. 
He’d done it again. This is exactly why Alex didn’t want to pursue things with Jo, because every girl he got involved with came out of it worse than before. He thought they’d be okay. He thought that they could get past this and he’d eventually long for her a little less every day that passed. But instead, he might’ve just knocked up his best friend. He might’ve just screwed up the life of the woman he was desperately in love with. 
He put her in an impossible position. She could choose to have an abortion, a choice that was difficult to make and go through with for any woman. Not to mention such a decision would put a strain on their friendship because they would always think about what could’ve been. There was adoption, but Alex didn’t think he’d be able to live knowing he had a kid out there and Jo had such horrible experiences in the foster care system that she would never be able to do that to her own kid. 
That meant the other option was keeping the baby. How would that work? Would they be together? Would they co-parent? Would that be the best option for either of them? Jo was only a second year resident. Having a baby right now could affect her career. It could affect any decisions she made in the future about her life. 
Taking a deep breath, Alex finally got out of the car and walked into the store, buying five pregnancy tests. Each one was a different brand, in hopes of getting the most accurate results. He took the boxes up to the register and locked eyes with a woman who seemed to be in her mid-60’s in line, in front of him. She looked down at his basket and smiled, “I don’t know what answer you’re hoping for, but good luck.” 
He huffed a laugh, “Thanks.”
Back home, Jo was having a mini-meltdown. Jo was almost positive she was pregnant. She had all the same symptoms as the last time. That’s right. This wasn’t Jo’s first pregnancy. While Jo had been married to Paul, she got pregnant. Days after discovering her pregnancy, he beat her half to death. She knew then, that she could not have that baby. She couldn’t allow her child to come into a home full of abuse. She couldn’t allow for her child to be scared of their father. She couldn’t allow for herself to be tied to Paul forever. Because she knew that’s what would happen. If she ever tried to leave, if she ever tried to divorce him, they would fight over the kid. And there was no way she could fight his lawyers for custody. Her child would lose in every scenario. 
So, she made the hardest decision she’d ever had to make in her life. Jo had an abortion and sobbed throughout the experience. She wasn’t ashamed of it. She didn’t regret it. But she promised herself that she’d never have to go through it again. She’d be more careful. She’d have a kid when she was ready, with a man who loved her and treated her with nothing but respect. She couldn’t go through an abortion again. The last time almost broke her, but it was the catalyst she’d needed to get herself out of that situation.
Jo knew she would keep this baby. There was no question that she’d be this baby’s mom. Everything else was up in the air. How would she fit a baby into her life? She was a second year surgical resident with a crazy schedule. She wanted to be a good mom, a present mom. But that would require her taking a step back in her career. Where would she and the baby live? Could they stay in Alex’s house? Would Alex even want to be in the baby’s life? Would he kick her out? Or would he co-parent with her? Did he want to be tied to her for the rest of his life? 
All of those questions and fears had to be put on pause when she heard the front door open. From her spot on the couch, she saw Alex enter with a plastic bag in his hand. Holding it up, he gave her a small smile, “I bought five... all different brands and stuff.”
Jo reached out for the bag and took it with her into the bathroom. Despite this situation being almost as complicated as the last time she peed over a stick, the one emotion she realized wasn’t present was fear. Last time she had been terrified. This time she was nervous, sure, but she wasn’t afraid. It was Alex, and whether he decided to be this baby’s dad or not, he’d never hurt her over this. 
She washed her hands and stepped out of the bathroom, setting a timer on her phone, “I took them all. Boxes said to wait about three minutes.” 
Those three minutes were some of the longest minutes of her life. Her and Alex stared at each other silently, waiting for the timer to go off. When it finally did, Jo felt a wave of nausea come over her. She looked over at Alex who grabbed her hand and squeezed it, leading her back to the bathroom for the moment of truth. 
Unsurprisingly, every single test came out positive. Jo couldn’t tell if it was the stress or the pregnancy itself, but soon, she was crouched above the toilet vomiting again. She felt a hand on her back rubbing circles as another one pulled her hair back. When she was finished, she rinsed her mouth and brushed her teeth before flopping onto the floor. She groaned, “Alex I’m fine. Just go. You don’t have to do this. I can do this on my own. Take the out. I’m giving you an out, take it. You can be fun Uncle Alex, no responsibilities.” 
“No,” Alex said firmly, bringing her close. “I’m not taking the out Jo. I’m not leaving you alone in this. Above everything, you are my best friend and we’re gonna have a baby together. So, I’m gonna be here and I’m gonna be a great dad and you’re gonna be a great mom and we’re going to do this together.” 
She rested her head on his shoulder, “Are you sure? You live your life a certain way and I don’t want to get in the way of that. A kid is really gonna put a damper on your sex life. And I know you didn’t mean for us to even have sex anyway. I’m not exactly your type and I don’t know if I could handle knowing that you didn’t want me for the rest of my life.”
Alex looked at Jo as if she’d grown three heads, “Are you kidding? Jo, what we did, wasn’t an accident. We both wanted it. We’ve wanted it for so long, but we were too scared and needed some liquid courage. Ever since that night, I haven’t been able to get you out of my head. I can’t even talk to a chick without every cell in my body protesting because it’s not you. Because it’s always been you, Jo. I love you. So, I’m staying right where I am, because I’m happy right here with you.”
Her face broke out into the brightest smile he’d ever seen. She leaned in and kissed him, “I love you too. I have for a long time, now.” 
“Holy shit,” Alex exclaimed. “We’re having a baby.”
“Oh my God. Yeah. We’re having a baby,” Jo laughed. “Me and you. Together. Having a baby.”
They both cackled loudly until the point of tears. It was hilarious to think that two months ago, they would’ve never even dreamed of a moment like this. As their laughter died down, Alex gasped, “Crap.”
“What?”
“We’ve gotta tell people,” he shared. “Not right now, but eventually we gotta tell people.”
“Shit,” Jo responded. “Oh God! We’ve got to tell Yang. She’s never going to let us live it down.”
Alex’s eyes widened, “Dammit. I forgot about Cristina. Be prepared to get custom made onesies that say Evil Spawn’s Spawn on them.” 
“Our kid is going to be so spoiled,” Jo grinned. “They’re going to have everything we didn’t as kids.”
He placed his hand on her still flat belly, “Yeah they are.”

Tony and Tally are going to Pop's. She is not at liberty to answer the question of whether or not she jacker War Machine's suit just so he would do the macarena without a lawyer. Bucky, it's her job to make you feel old.
Hydra nightmare. She's talking to her dad about the nightmare. Then she was like now that we had a hard time going down to the basement to tinker. Whether she wants to admit her or not I wrote her a lot like her dad. Malachi. Malachi obviously cares about Tally. Malachi knows that Nick St Clair hurt Tally. They had sex. I'll be honest with you, I wasn't sure if in the end she was going to end up with Malachi or sweet pea at this point I was still debating it. Malachi kept her hair brush.

Thalia Stark got a pep rally who would ever see the day. Tally thinks her dad's hiding something from her. Jughead expected her to have a stick at her ass. I love tally I really miss writing her.

The accords. Tony wants her opinion on it. She thinks it's the most stupid idea ever. The governor wants her to sign it but she's refusing to. He doesn't want her to sign it either. She knows more about her mother than he's talking about. Honestly it is so weird looking back at this and having her mom not being revealed like this.

I think Tally's birthday present is the best one he is received for a while.

Jade really just spilled everything to them I mean I would too if meant getting my best friend back but still. Tony went to go see Malachi. Malachi said he was more afraid of tally than he is of Tony. But he's still told him a lot.
Tally has powers. Thalia is so sarcastic I love her. Tally was able to send a message to them. By the time they got there the Hydra base was in flames and she was walking out of it. They forced her to go to the hospital where everyone was waiting. Tony tried to keep her in her in the hospital room but she was like no❤️.

They all suggest movies and fight it out. First one is Sweet Pea vs Tally. I FORGOT I BROKE THE FOURTH WALL. Tally won. Tony is having a talk with Sweet Pea. Tally doesn't think Hydra is done. Imma be honest I don't remember most of this because the close it get to when I had my surgery the more fucked my memory became.

My fake insta posts were the best. Beck, Fangs and Sweet Pea just got arrested. Nick St Clair is coming to town. Mantle vandalized her locker. Apparently the same thing happened to her mom. She's not going to talk about Nick St Clair.

The uniforms. Message from Hydra, her mom is alive.
She's known. (Srry, this is when my short term memory was hell so I don't remember it.) Her mother is a hydra agent and was using Tony. She even talked to her when she was kidnapped. FP isn't happy that Ruby lied to them all.
Sweet pea trying to stand up for tally when Jughead was trying to use her Fame for peaceful protest now that's awesome but Tally's okay with this because it's a peaceful protest and something she agrees with and told him it's okay. They bugged his trailer. They have the tesseract from Odin's Vault testing against Tally's blood panel. It keeps calling her name.
Even though they told her not to tell sweet pea she did. Peaceful protest. The statue had no head the next day and tally woke up with a fever, despite the super soldier serum. And she has a fever. Bruce thinks it's because of the tesseract because they have similar energy they're fighting dominance. Next day she's feeling better, and is being questioned by the sheriff.
Foreshadowing much. She's realizing that she was born to her mother just become hydras soldier. Tally's idea is that well her mom's playing chess they have to play poker. Sunnyside is getting evicted.
Her mother is at the Wyrm. Hello Ruby Lodge. That was intense. Tally just thanked Pepper for being her mom. FP trust her.
Veronica's confirmation. Jughead and Betty found the head. Back at the Wyrm. Tall boy was the one who did it. Going to Lodge Lodge.
I think that's an accurate description of Cheryl. Jughead had to reassure them that everything was fine. The Jughead Veronica kiss. They get to stay in Sunnyside trailer park.
Hiram Lodge bought the Riverdale register. The break-in. They decide to go after tally instead of Veronica because you know she's a Stark. That was a mistake because they isolated her and her room and she was able to overpower one of them and take their shotgun away. She also paged her dad. Hiram Lodge owns pops. Ethel dumped a whole strawberry milkshake on Veronica. Reggie being a dick. Ruby Lodge broke into sweet peas trailer talk to him.
Ruby wants to make a deal. Basically what happened with Malachi where he cheated to protect his sister. Ruby said she wants to make sure her daughter is dead inside. Cheryl's missing. Sweet pea has been distant. Sweet Pea is drinking away sorrows. And he cheated to protect his little sister and his mom.
Jade slapped him. Tony is there. Fangs sent her a photo of Sweet Pea cheating. She's questioning everything. The Avengers want to kick his ass. She went to his trailer. Swalia is over until they get their shit together. Carrie The Musical.
She went to Malachi. She went there for help but they ended up sleeping together. They agreed to be one time thing. The plan started, Malachi would pick her up from the musical the opening night. Ruby stopped them, saying she would kill Malachi if she didn't go with her. into which Malachi admits that he still loves her. But she loves sweet pea. The tranqed her and she woke up in a chair. 5 months later she was in Sweden by herself safe and sound. What you saw an article about Archie Andrews being questioned for a murder. And she thought she might have evidence for it or could get it so she's going back to Riverdale. Then flashback 5 months ago Tony's point of view, Malachi showed up to the school after Midge was murdered. Tally is prime suspect right now. She killed a hydra agent. Then 5 months later. Tony is a pops when he sees his daughter walk in with blonde hair.
She got lectured from Steve about running off for 5 months. She wants to tent city. Her and Sweet Pea had a good to talk. Ruby Lodge.
She just wants to talk. Ancient Norse prophecy. Tony asked Thor and he gulped. There is a prophecy and Thor and Loki believe it to be about Tally. Odin agrees. In the final battle she dies. Thornhill.
Ghoulies. Malachi questioning Penny Peabody's motives and then putting the fear of Tally. Jughead wondering what that was about. The iCarly reference though. "If you ever do that again you're grounded for... Till college." "For till college?" "For till college!"
(So the reason I kind of stopped doing the Instagram post was because after my surgery I kind of just lost all creative initiative to do it.) The video tally turned in was ruled of questionable origin. Thalia Stark is under arrest. I don't remember this plot line. They don't have a very solid case. Matt Murdock, Tally's lawyer, wants to push the case to New York. Charges were dropped thanks to Nicholas fury. Archie pleaded guilty, Malachi is leaving. He wants to see her before he leaves. Tally told him he would hold a special place in her heart. Riverdale high, next day.  They want to get Hiram Lodge arrested.
Sweet Pea and Tally are talking about what happened and Tally finally said what's been running through her head. Thalia is Jade's child's godmother. She told Jade about the prophecy.
Tony is acting weird at The mention of a game that hit Riverdale. Ghoulie hideout with Penny and Ruby. She scared the shit out of Penny Peabody. Veronica's grand opening. Tally is willing to let Sweet Pea try to earn her trust back. They kissed... No, they had sex. The manual.

Because when Archie says oh crap, she says I think you're allowed to say fuck in this situation. Archie wins though. Tally had to play Russian roulette to get her in with the swedish Mafia.

Telling us what's happening to the stones right now. She bloodbended Thanos but the Avengers couldn't get to Thanos quick enough to get the glove off so he snapped. They lost. Tally is gone and so is half of the universe.
Nat is regretting not getting to Thanos quick enough to get to the glove off of him while tally bloodbended him. Tony found out that she's able to bloodbend. Tony passing out. Going to go kill Thanos. Nat and Thor explaining Thalia to Rocket. Thor went for the head.
5 YEARS LATER. Natasha's point of view. Meeting, Barton murdering people, Steve stopping by. She's remembering tally, reminiscing with Steve. Scott Lang. Quantum realm. Tony's point of view. Morgan Stark. Them telling the plan to Tony. Him thinking it's risky. Tony is salty about the fact that if they were close enough when tally bloodbended than Thanos they could have been done they could have won but they lost. Scott's trying to play with his heartstrings, mentioning tally, his first born daughter.
Bruce banner/hulk talking about the time travel thing . Tony's POV. While washing dishes he looks at a photo thinking of his daughter, tally. He decided he has to do it to see her again. He figured out time travel. Pepper finding out you figured out time travel. He's going to do it. Natasha's POV next morning. Scott time traveling going wrong. Steve POV. Walking outside seeing car pull up. Cap getting his shield back. But there's something Tony has to do before he gets to work.
He went to go see Malachi. He want to let Malachi know that there was hope. Malachi gave him a flash drive of Tally's research guy she entrusted him with five years ago. Clint testing the time travel machine worked. When Tony opened the flash drive he realized that a lot of it was mapped out for him already. Tally made a video titled if we lost. Time travel time. New York 2012. Time Stone.
Tony's POV, then Steve's POV. Not Steve saying hail Hydra. Tony's POV. Scott giving 2012 Tony a heart attack. Tesseract sliding to Loki. Steve POV. "That is America's ass" I think that's all I have to say for that part. Bruce's POV. Him telling her that Strange gave it away. She gave him the time stone. Tony POV. Deciding to go to New Jersey.
1970. Tony's point of view. Tony seeing his dad and getting the tesseract. Steve's point of view. Getting Hank Pym to run down the hallway. Tony's POV. Talking to his dad. Avengers compound. Natasha was gone. Grieving Natasha. Making the gauntlet, Thor going to stop his fingers then stop him Bruce snapping his fingers. It worked. Then disaster struck a missiles blew away the Avengers compound. Thanos sat waiting for the Avengers. Thanos vs Steve, Thor and Tony. Tony getting knocked out. Steve POV. Picks up Thor's hammer. Everyone is back. Tally is back.
Tally POV. Tally and Tony reuniting. Female team up without Nat. Tally took the stones before he could snap."You are so fucked." She turned to dust. Tony's POV. She started glowing. He grieved. Sweet Pea is at Stark Tower. He found out she sacrificed herself. The funeral. Tally is alive.
The scene with death. When Tally woke up she didn't remember anything. Everyone is shocked. Wanda jogged her memory. She explained everything. She met Morgan.
Graduation. Tally's POV. She was the valedictorian. She's going to MIT. Sweet Pea proposed. When she graduated, taking on Stark industries, she made sure it was clear the weapons will never be apart of Stark Industries again. When Sweet Pea and Tally got married she found out she was pregnant. Sweet Pea's name is this is Nathan Mantle. In the end they had 3 kids. Nick St. Clair got killed by the Swedish Mafia. She is the Iron Daughter.
Overall, I'm going to admit I don't remember writing half of this story because of my brain surgery and I was working on it during this. I love this story, it is my first time reading it all at once but I am partial to it because I worked on it for almost a full year and is the first Riverdale x Avengers crossover fic on wattpad. There is somethings I was contemplating, like who she was going to end up with, if she was going to die in the first snap or not. I was also going to do a part where she goes into hiding with Harley from Iron Man 3 and works as a waitress in a little diner as a cover, saying she's Harley's cousin, wearing a wig and contacts but I felt that'd make the story too long. But there are a few things I'm iffy about so 9/10.

The Jeffersons: Sorry, Wrong Meeting (Comission by WeirdKev27) (Black History Month)
Tumblr media
Welcome on up! HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!  Yup i’m going to spend a good chunk of the month celebrating the best and brightest in black characters in animation, amid valentine’s coverage in the first half and a few bits of the usual stuff throughout. But i’m still throughly dedicated to showing off some of the finest media about black struggles and starring black characters, and going through it the best I can as a white dumbass. If I slip up or misinterpret something, never be afraid to call me on it, but I feel I can still try my best to honor these amazing characters who’ve brought such joy to my life and these wonderful stories.  So starting us off is a commission from Kev that’s been sitting in the queue for far too long. And it’s not due to lack of intrest: While before today I’d never seen an episode of the Jeffersons, I had seen the live performance of an episode done for that live with norman lear thing nbc did in 2019, and it was excellent and piqued my intrest. But with me never thinking to get the dvd’s, and not having Starz nor really wanting starz, there was no real easy way to stream it. But a few episodes were on DailyMotion, so I was fine with reviewing it for Kev and giving this series an honest try and the fact the episode dealt with white supremacy, at a time where we’d JUST gotten rid of a bigoted, white nationalist backing, piece of shit president, I was naturally all for it, I just never thought to clear space on my schedule and by the time I was scheduling things better, I purposfully saved it for this month as while the Klan isn’t as prominent, assholes like them sure are. And given the Captial Riots last month with sedionsits shitheads proudly waving the confederate flag around, I’d say this episode is even MORE relevant than ever. 
But before we can dive into why this one is so good, yeah i’m not going to hide it this is a really fantastic episode of television, we have to talk about the series itself. The Jeffersons was created by Norman Lear, a progressive and prolific television writer and producer who is a legend in the business for damn good reason. He created All in the Family, which shattered norms and standards for the time, and would go on to create Sanford and Son, Maude and Good Times, all to massive sucess. However this show came about because the Black Panthers showed up one day at his office to raise a valid point: While he did have black characters in his tv shows they were mostly poor and barely scraping by, with his two black lead sitcoms dealing with characters in object poverty. And while this was still a worthy subject to tackle.. they were absolutely right there should be a counterbalance to that, to show the obvious truth black people CAN be successful. Norman agreed and set to work. Norman already had the perfect lead for that: George Jefferson, an opinnated dry-cleaner with several sucessful stores. George was, and still is, a fascenating character with lairs: being cranky and curmodgenly as you’d expect with some fairly average sitcom quirks: He loves money, often overspends on flashy stuff to revel in his sucess, snarks at his maid and likes to scheme as a sitcom character can. He’s also in the early seasons a bigot himself, not really fond of white people or interacial marraige, which naturally makes living next to an interacial couple and their daughter marrying his son thorns in his side. But as far as I can tell from looking on wikipedia he does soften with time and grow as a person and by this episode he’s fine putting up with both his neighbor Tom, said guy married to a black woman and his goofy british neighbor, if snarky as hell because hey, that’s who he is. I bring this up for reasons related to the climax, trust me. 
So eventually the Jefferson's moved on up to that deluxe apartment in the sky, hell of a theme song, and got into their own adventures with the aforementioned supporting characters.. and so here we are. And after the cut we’ll take a look at just why this sitcom is awesome, why I desperately want to get some dvds for it at some point now or a starz trial, and how much the klan sucks. 
Tumblr media
We open at the Jefferson’s Deluxe Apartment in the Sky. where his wife Wheezy and aforementioned maid Florence are preparing to take a CPR class.. which were that possible I certainly would after this episode, as I feel Florence is right in stating it’s a skill everyone should have. She also remarks that George had every employee at his drycleaners take it, even if it was because he got an insurance writeoff. But hey, doing something that can help your workers and customers in an emergency even if i’ts just to save money is sitll better than MOST businesses these days so props to him. There’s also naturally some banter and it’s really damn funny. As with my Darkwing Duck reviews,, I won’t be going into it bit by bit, but it’s good stuff and holds up REALLY well. To me that’s the mark of a good sitcom, one that can show it’s age.. but still make you laugh, think or cry all the same. So yeah in less than a scene the show had won me over.  So as the ladies depart for CPR class, George’s peace is soon interupted by Harry Bently, british person and wacky neighbor. Aka me if I were british and lived in the 70′s. He returns a tv guide, last weeks hence why he’s done with it, and ther’es some schtick and what not before Tom Willis runs in, upset because he’s been robbed. They took all his stuff, and while he’s thankfull his wife’s gone for the week so she didn’t have to be there for this, he’s obviously worried and suggests forming a building watch to prevent this, with Harry on board. George.. has no time for this nonsense, and after making a joke about Florence in curlers scaring them of, bredguringly agrees to attend if someone else starts it then slams the door on them once their out the door.  At CPR, our heroines volunteer enthusastically and meet the cpr dummy. resuscannie.. I don’t know how to spell that and frankly I don’t wanna because she is FUCKING terrifying. 
Tumblr media
She looks like she’s going to come to life and strangle me. She looks like a hollowed out corpse doll a serial killer makes. She looks like something Charles lee ray would rnasfer into. She looks like Micheal Meyers grandmother. She looks like the corpse of Jason’s mom come back for revenge. She looks like sue sylvester transferred herself into an auton. Look I could go on, but the series does make jabs at the thing and most cpr dummies are objectively terrifying, so fair play to them. After some more gags, things.. take a turn. Part of what makes this episode so effective to me is this turn. It starts with, and even goes back to after this for a bit, some sitcom gags and cliches.. but it lulls you into thinking this will be an average episode... so when the instuctor asks two men to go next, an older man and his college age looking son refuse to participate.. and their reason is he refuses to touch anything tha’ts been touched by a ... well he uses a certain word and let’s just say you know what it is, I know what it it is and if I could’ve reached inside my computer and choked the life out of hte man, I fucking would’ve. 
Yeah turns out these two are KKK, with the older asshole leading the local chapter and their about as reasonable or likeable as you’d expect with Wheezy BARELY holding Florence back from giving them a well deserved thrashing, and only doing so because it’d both sink to their level and because they’d just use it as more fuel for their racist bullshit. And that’s WHY this works so well: It seems excactly like a normal episode.. until it suddenly isn’t. Until suddenly things are a lot darker, a lot more tense, but the easing into it means it still feels like the same unvierse. To me the good “very special episodes”, are the ones that use this: that ease into the heavy topic before punching you in the face with it and tackle it with nuance and skill. A Diffrent World has a TON of episodes like this, and it’s why it’s one of my faviorite sitcoms: it tackles a lot of really heavy topics with  a steady brush and while it can be heavy handed, sometimes heavy hands are necesary to carry a heavy topic.  The racists showing up suddenly also fits because Racists hide in plain sight. You don’t know someone you know is prejudice or some stranger is till they reveal themselves. They could show up any time anywhere and you can’t be ready. And I cant possibly claim to know what that’s like, but I’m sad that in this nation of ours this shit has never, and probably will never go away. So it fits that our antagonist shows up out of nowhere, having until now perfectly blended in with the other suited white guys in the class. Naturally, the instructor orders them to fucking leave and naturally klan monster makes some big white suprimacist speil. And being a sitcom he runs into Tom, with Tom mistaking him for talking abotu the crime and White Supremacist mistaking Tom for a fellow racist. Tom decides to invite george.. and while it’s clumsily framed as a wacky sitcom misunderstanding.. it’s very clear things just got VERY dangerous. 
Speaking of George he’s awoken from his nap by the ladies who are both still worried and while he goes into his usual digs on florence, and questions why she needs her bat... he instnatly sides with her and prepares to go kick some racist ass once he finds out what happened. It’s a nice shift, as it once again breaks the tranquil normalcy of this sitcom with the violence of racisim. And while there was no phsyical violence form the asshole.. to me racisim itself is still a form of violence. Thinking you are suprerior to another race just because your skin’s a diffrent color and wanting them gone or not to be near you is in itself violent to me. And while Wheezy again has good reason for holding George back, tihs is just what the fuckers want, Geroge is also right: right NOW it’s talk.. but how long before they start burning stuff on thier balcony or come for htem in the night? there’s.. no easy answer her, no easy solution.. just a man fearing for his life justifably whose probably been through this time, and time, and time again, dealt with his buisnesses being vandalized and his life being threatend and probably been beaten some too JUST for being a black business owner. So it’s understandable he’s fucking fed up and just wants them gone. Tom naturally invites him to the meeting., and harry agrees, botht hinking i’ts just a floor meeting and not a disguised KKK Rally. 
So at the meeting, the KKK Fuck does his spiela nd tries to assure them that “what you’ve heard about us is wrong”. And again this si part of what makes the episode resonate: guys like this try to make themselves seem resonable. THat “Their not racist” their the right ones and your wrong for wanting equality. It’s why these movements gain traction, they tap into people’s inner ugliness and disastifaction with life and give them an easy target for it. It’s what the president did for four years, i’ts what his sycophants at fox news CONTINUE to do: try and present being a racist, homophobic, xenophobic peace of shit as a viable and stable option when all it makes you is a racist , a coward and a dinosaur who can’t accept change or things difffrent than you.  When this guy eventually goes into a rant, as George showing up triggers it and Tom and Harry dont’ take his shit for as econd, with tom proudly mentioning his black wife, and both holding George back for the same reasons Wheezy did with Florence, he talks abotu them “taking our property and destroying our homes”.. and it all sounds EERILY like when Tucker Carlson went on about property damage during the black lives matter protests last year... and as a wise tucan in a suit once said, fuck you tucker. And as John didn’t say but I certainly will, I Hope you choke on your own spray tan you racist seditionist prick. My point is this sort of rhetoric, trying to frame black people as the enemy.. never fucking went away and is on cable news every night. It was in our white house for four long years. It won’t go away and probably never will and everyone of every race has to be on guard to find these pricks and make sure their message is drowned out with love. And that’s what makes this whole thing relevant: that these pricks hide in plain sight and mask their arugments with civlities.. but at the end of day are just hateful monsters who just want a scapegoat for their problems or even may just hate because it’s easy, or because they just wnat to and don’t need an excuse to be the worst human garbage imaginable. 
It makes what happens next all the better: Asshole has a heart attack, HORAY, and no one knows CPR since the kid walked out on the class with his dad before they actually learned it. George relucntantly sighs.. and knows what he has to do. He goes and saves the fuckers life. And that, friends, is why I brought up George’s racist past and i’m glad I knew about it giong in: because it shows how far he’s come. From hating white people.. to saving the WORST of the WORST of white people.  He regrets it of course, saying the guy should’ve died, and that he won’t be greatful and he’ll just keep on hating.. but his friends point out the truth: George was the bigger man. He saved the life of a man who hated him just for existing and who’d gladly have him lynched if he could and was trying to run him out of his rightful place in the building, because it was the right thing to do. Because that fucker sure as hell wouldn’t. Because despite being a monster.. it’s still a life.. and he can waste it however he pleases.. but he’ll now ALWAYS know a black man saved it. George may regret his decison.. in the dark, where no body would blame him for letting the fucker die or even know he could’ve saved him until he got home, and his wife would’ve barely blamed him, he still choose to save the worst of humanity proving depsite his curmodgnley nature, he’s some of the best of it.  It dosen’t change the asshole, he leaves on a gurney telling his son “You should’ve let me die”. George is unsuprised and leaves with his friends. And I do like this: the racist dosen’t MAGICALLY change because he’s saved by a black man, he’s still a fucking monster. And that is what sets him apart from George: Whiel George was a bigot, he not only never went as far as this monster, but he changed. He learned to let go of his hate as it was eating him alive, and while he certailnly and rightfully won’t let go of his resintment for white people, he’s accepted he can’t hate ALL of them for what some did to him. This asshole has no such excuse and no such growth, he probably died being the same miserable piece of shit he was , resenting forever a black man saved him. And that’s hwo it should end.. youc an’t save everyone and you can’t change a person that dosen’t want to. George changed only because he wanted to and he realized he was wrong evne if he’s loath to admit it. This guy wont’ and never will becuse some racist pieces of shit just will never accept the truth that all people were created equal.
His son though clearly has, thanking George before he leaves, and later as the rest of the meeting, realizing what these people are and what they plan on, leave as the assholes right hand man tries to continue said son refuses to acknowlegde him rips up the poster and leaves. See the old man not changing worked.. but so too does this.. showing some simply dont’ know better and some CAN change.. but like George.. they have to WANT to change. Only you can change you. And hopefully it’s for hte better. 
This episode was excellent as i’ve made clear, and I don’t have honestly much to add to it. It was a pleasure and black lives matter.

Tumblr media
I really like this guy for Bruce Wayne. Who is this? Anyway...
No one likes the idea. Not even Alfred. But you have to corral these crazy kids somehow.
“But - Pops!” Dick whines.
“I don’t even live here.” Jason scoffs.
“TT, is this really necessary, Papa?”
“It’s our day off!” Tim sighs.
“Really, Master Y/N, I’d much rather do it myself-”
“Silence!” you cry. “Alfred, seriously, you haven’t taken a rest in months. I need you to rest, or I’m gonna go crazy from sympathy exhaustion. We have four perfectly healthy and strong young men to help clean this attic, and clean the attic they shall. Jason - you like eating here, right? And the rest of you who live here, this is not optional.”
Everyone reluctantly shuffles onwards. You smile. For once, it seems like you’ve actually done the impossible and wrangled all four of your sons.
Congratulations, you.
You consider going to find Bruce and telling him all about today’s triumph. Now where could he be...
Meanwhile, in the attic...
Tim finds a bunch of old tapes. “Oh my god... this place hasn’t been cleaned in years..”
“What are you yammering about, Drake?”
“They’re video tapes, demon spawn.” Jason says knowledgeably. “Before phones, people used to put stuff on video cameras.”
“I am aware of what they are, Todd.” Damian snaps.
Dick is looking at the little strip of white tape on the cassette: Bruce and Y/N - Wedding. “Guys, its Bruce and Y/N’s wedding tape!”
Jason gives an exaggerated groan, but Dick organizes them all into action, because it’s easier to look through the mess for a video cassette player than it is to actually do what they came up here for.
And eventually they have the player hooked up through a mess of universal adapters so that they can watch the video on Tim’s laptop.
And your face pops up. You look so young, it’s incredible.
“That is Papa?” Damian asks in surprise.
Alfred was the one to make this video. He even spliced it in with some footage of the official wedding tape, making it almost like a documentary.
You’re dressed in your suit, a white rose in your lapel, and young Dick is there, and you’re helping him tie his tie.
“I can’t get it right! It’s under-over-through-over-” Dick looks so adorably frustrated by the tie. You lightly push his hands away.
“Here, let me. I got you.” Dick huffs as you expertly tie the tie and straighten it. “Ooh, you look so handsome, little man!”
“Really?”
Jason playfully punches the present Dick in the shoulder.
“You were so needy.”
“Shut up.:
Alfred has cleared his throat. “Everything alright, Master Y/N?”
“Yep, just making sure my little ring-bearer is all set to go!”
“I’m not that little, Pops.”
You give him a high-five. “Just let me savor it while you’re still shorter than me, okay?”
“...Fine.”
Dick runs off to play and likely rumple his nice wedding suit, but you let him. 
Alfred asks you questions about how you’re feeling.
“Oh, no, this is gonna be something you and Dick watch later and make fun of me for, isn’t it?” you suddenly ask, and give a mock glare directly at the camera, making present-day Dick feel slightly scared.
“Come, now, sir. Something to tell your future children.”
“Children? Alfred, do you know something I don’t?” you joke.
“For posterity.” Alfred insists.
“Okay, okay. Look, kid or kids watching this in the future. I - I hope I’ve been a good parent to you. I mean, I know your lives probably haven’t been easy, if Dick’s example is anything to go by.
All of them give an appreciative chuckle.
“But, you know, I promise that I’ll always be there for you. Me and Bruce’ll always be there for you. So, uh, don’t worry about that. Love you guys. And uh, stop watching this now before it gets really embarrassing.”
Alfred chuckles as you wave your arms. “Stop watching, parents kissing ahead!”
And then Alfred is in Bruce’s dressing room, where he’s also having trouble with his tie. 
Damian is again astonished by the youthfulness.
“This - stupid- thing! I’m trained in every single kind of knot imaginable, Alfred, why can’t I get this one right?”
“Because you’re nervous, sir?”
Bruce scoffs. “That’s ridiculous, Alfred. There’s nothing to be nervous about. Y/N loves me, and I love him. There’s nothing more to it.”
Alfred sets down the camera. Thankfully it’s facing the mirror so that the kids can see Alfred helping Bruce with his tie in the reflection.
“That’s absolutely right, sir. No reason at all to be nervous. I must’ve been mistaken.:
“I know what you’re doing, Alfred.”
“I know, Master Bruce.”
It cuts to wedding footage. You and Bruce take turns walking down the aisle. The kids can see Jim and Barbara Gordon in the front row. Dr. Leslie Tompkins walks Bruce up the aisle, and Alfred walks you up.
Little Dick walks up proudly in his rumpled suit, his hair mussed, but the rings on the little pillow he holds still in perfect condition.
Neither Jason, Tim, nor Damian can recall Bruce ever smiling so happily
You and Bruce take turns going over the vows to love, to honor, and to support one another, you first.
“Y/N L/N, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?”
“I do.”
Cheers come from your present-day children, even Damian.
“And do you, Bruce Wayne, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?”
Bruce gives a firm nod, still smiling like a dork. He doesn’t seem to realize that he hasn’t spoken. A second passes, and he glances at the priest, then back to you and quickly says “I do.”
Dick and Jason are laughing so hard.
“You may now kiss your husband.”
Jason automatically covers Damian’s eyes as you two kiss, and Damian struggles.
The last shot is of you and Bruce walking down the aisle hand in hand, people cheering all around you
And then your voice rattles the attic.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
Everybody whirls to see present-day you looking at the attic - which has not been cleaned one bit. Bruce stands behind you looking amused, probably because you.spent the whole time talking about how you finally got them all in line. But he notices something.
“Is that Alfred’s tape?”
Dick gets up and hugs you both tightly, surprising you. Jason, Tim, and even Damian join in
You and Bruce share a look that is at once shocked and joyous.
And unseen by anyone but you, Bruce gives a smile that is just as happy as the one on your wedding day.

marie and her nutcracker prince
Hey guys! I'm sorry for dropping out of daminette december, I felt bad so I decided to make a lil fic! This is based on the ballet the nutcracker, well kinda i fixed it up a bit and I added a bunch of things. Instead of a big party shown in the ballet, I made it a small family get together and the battle scene is just crack LOL and i barely explained the dances IM SORRY DHFDJS!! Anyways I hope you guys enjoy! Also thanks for helping me @fsketchart I LOVE U
Dazzling lights twinkled around the room, as colors danced.  A wonderful aroma filled the room, mixed with sugarplum, gingerbread, any type of sweet you can think of! It was there!
Marie and her little brother, Fritz were huddled next to each other by the warmth of the fireplace, staring at the lovingly wrapped gifts under the Christmas tree.
“What do you think is in this one?” Marie questioned, pointing at a small gift wrapped in a stunningly gold and pink paper.
“I don’t know.  Why don’t we find out?” Fritz grabbed it quickly and gave it a quick shake.  There was a jostling sound from inside the box, as Fritz smiled.
“You two better be careful, We don’t want any broken gifts do we?” A voice spoke softly from behind.
Marie and Fritz quickly turned around to see who it was .
“Uncle Alfred!” they both giggled with glee, right before jumping into his arms.  The man smiled brightly as he pulled them close, wrapping them in his warmth.
“Why, if it isn’t my two favorite grandchildren! How have you two been! You two have been behaving yourselves, right?” Alfred kneeled down to meet the two children in the eyes.
“Yes Uncle Alfred!” they both cheered while nodding their head rapidly.
“Both of you close your eyes! I have something very special for you two.”
“Ok!” they both cheered.  They closed their eyes, tightly shut.  They grinned ear to ear in anticipation, as they heard Alfred prepare the gifts.
“You can open them up now!”
They both quickly spun around and saw small and large gifts laid around them. Fritz quickly launched himself towards his gift pile and opened them rapidly.
“A toy soldier!” Fritz cheered while raising it up. “I love it Uncle Alfred! Thank you!” he said while jumping into his arms.
“It’s quite no problem, Fritz...Marie? You’re awfully quiet. Is something wrong?” Alfred questioned, with concern in his voice.
“It's a nutcracker…” Marie said while caressing the nutcrackers cheek.  “I-Its beautiful. Thank you, Uncle Alfred.” Marie said while putting down her new gift and joining in the hug.
While this moment was very heartwarming, Fritz thought it was a good idea to test out Marie’s new nutcracker. He quickly grabbed a rather large chestnut from the dining room and shoved right into the mouth of the nutcracker. He quickly pushed down on the lever in the back and… Snap!
“Whoops…”
Marie and Alfred quickly jumped back and slowly turned around to see Fritz holding the nutcrackers head in his hand.
“What did you do!?” Marie screamed accusingly while running towards the massacre.
Walnut shells were everywhere. Bits of the wooden nutcracker soldier were on the ground. And Fritz… poor, innocent Fritz held its head in his hands.
“You broke him!” Marie cried.  She rushed over to see the remains of the nutcracker.
“I-I didn't mean it! I just wanted to see if it actually worked! Im sorry! Uncle Alfred can fix it! Right Uncle Alfred?” Fritz screamed.
“I don't know about that...may I see him?” He asked.
Fritz slowly handed over the head and body to his Uncle. They watched nervously as their uncle scanned the poor nutcracker. They practically jumped out of their skin when they saw their uncle jolt out of the room.
“I’m really sorry, Marie. I didn't mean it, I promise,” Fritz whispered softly, looking towards the ground.
“Its alright Fritz, Uncle Alfred will fix him. But next time be careful ok?” Marie spoke, placing a hand on his shoulder.
Alfred quickly walked back into the room, with a fixed nutcracker in his arms.
“He's going to be ok. Just don't be too harsh with him.”  The children gasped with joy and nodded their heads furiously.
“Thank you Uncle!” both of them cheered while returning to their toys.
They both sat underneath their Christmas tree playing with their toys that felt like hours. Fritz was slowly drifting to sleep, and Marie was just getting started. She was not going to leave this nutcracker for awhile. She adored this little wooden doll.
“Alright kiddos. Time to sleep.” Alfred said while picking up the sleeping Fritz.
“B-but! I'm not tired!” Marie protested.
“You'll have time to play with your nutcracker prince tomorrow, Marie. Now come on let's get you to bed.” Alfred said while offering her a hand.
“Fine...” Marie whispered while placing her doll down by the Christmas tree.
Marie was NOT going to sleep tonight. It has been about two hours since her Uncle Alfred tucked her in and she hasn't closed her eyes a single time. All she could think about was her new nutcracker. Gosh she loved that thing so much. They wouldn't mind if I went down to play with him right? Marie questioned. She didn't think twice. She quickly threw on her night robe and slippers and tip-toed her way down.
Marie slowly made her way to the living room and looked around the pillar leading to the room. The coast is clear! She quickly sprinted towards the tree and grabbed the doll and launched herself towards the couch. She spent about two hours playing with the doll before feeling rather tired. He wouldn't mind if I rested my eyes for two minutes would he? Marie quickly fell asleep with her nutcracker cradled in her arms. Her dreams were filled with exciting exciting events of the Christmas Eve party and her new toys. But she was quickly awaken by a loud crash coming from behind the tree. She quickly jumped behind the couch and looked up. Are those.. RATS? Before she could think twice of the events that were occuring she felt a sudden cold feeling run through her body. Her nutcracker was missing. Her favorite doll was missing. She was quickly knocked out of her panic when a mysterious voice yelled something.
“Rat King and his rats! Why the sudden outburst?” He yelped.
Marie quickly looked up and… MY NUTCRACKER??? WHAT THE HOLY CHESTNUTS WAS GOING ON? She quickly looked him up and down. He was handsome. He was covered in a silky suit and his hair was pushed back that was hidden under his helmet. He had the most beautiful eyes. Emerald green. She quickly was knocked out of her thoughts once again by screaming.
“I am here to kill you and your army! You do not stand a chance!” The Rat King sneered.
“We aren't going down without a fight. Now go my toy soldiers fight!” The nutcracker yelled.
Quickly Fritz's toy soldiers that he received earlier became life sized and was fighting off the Rat King and his rats. But the battle was pure chaos. They did not stand a chance against the rats. The soldiers were practically kids. They were dropping like flies. Without thinking Marie quickly took off her left slipper and yelled.
“Hey Rattie! Take a load of this!” She screamed while chucking her slipper towards his head.
“Marie no!” The nutcracker yelled.
The Rat King slowly turned around to face Marie and time froze.
“Why you spoiled little brat! Rats get her!” He screamed.
Holy sugarplum!
Marie had been running for what it felt like hours. She ran through the house and was suddenly cornered into a wall.
“You're going to regret trying to fight me, Marie.” The Rat King sneerled.
A loud boom filled the room and the Rat King and his rats fell to the ground.
“You're going to regret scaring my Angel.” The nutcracker said before stabbing him in the back.
He shviled to the ground and the nutcracker ran to Marie.
“Are you alright Marie?” He questioned.
“How-” Marie sputtered for word, “How do you know my name? A-And Angel?” Marie questioned.
“You were playing with me earlier, I was turned into a nutcracker by the Rat King but some unfamiliar magic turned my soldiers and I back. And you remind me of an Angel. You saved me.” He said.
“Oh that makes sense…. I-I'm glad you're alright…”Marie trailed off while looking towards the ground. Why am I so flustered?
“Thank you, Now let's go, the kingdom is waiting for you.”
“The kingdom? What kingdom? We are at my house- Wait where are we?”
“We are at my kingdom, The Land of Sweets. They are honoring you because you helped out with fighting the Rat King.”
“I just threw a shoe at him. How did I help?”
“Well you see.. The Rat King has been terrorizing our land for awhile. He would go on rampages, destroying are villages, and taking our supplies. Our armies were hopeless. We have been trying for months to capture him, and then you came along.”
“Oh I see.. I'm glad I was able to help.”
“Now that we are done with that. Shall we, Angel?” He said while offering his hand.  His green eyes twinkled with adventure.
“We shall.”
As they entered the Land of Sweets, they were greeted with applause and cheering. Children were laughing and confetti was flying everywhere. Marie not used to the sudden commotion and shrunk into herself.
“Is this too much for you?” He questioned.
“No! No not at all! I'm just not used to it, that's all.”
“Well you should get used to it, No one’s going to shut up about it for a while.” He smirked.
They both shared a quick laugh together before being interrupted by someone clearing their throat from behind them.
“Well, if it isn’t Miss Marie and Damian,” the mysterious voice said.
“Oh my gosh, she’s adorable!” a voice spoke.  
“Quiet down Jason, you’ll scare her.”
“But he’s right! She is adorable!”
They both quickly turned around and met eyes with 4 handsome gentlemen. The tallest one wore a white and red suit with three small golden buttons going down the front part. The second one wore an all white suit with sparkles that were shaped like snowflakes dancing around him. The third wore a white and light green suit that had different kinds of flowers embroidered on it. And finally the last wore sheer purple trousers with small sparkles sewed into it.
“Hello father… and brothers.”
“Hello, Damian, why don’t you introduce us to your friend?”
“This is Marie. She helped us battle the Rat King.”
“H-hi,” Marie whispered.
“You’re so cute and small!” Jason said as he ran up to her and circled around.
“Jason, quit it! You’re making her uncomfortable!” Damian sneered.
“It’s alright, Damian, I’m fine. nice to meet you Jason and…”
“The others are my brothers, Dick, and Tim. Jason is the Evergreen prince, Dick is the Snow Queen’s cavalier, and Tim is the Arabian Prince. They all traveled here to celebrate and to dance for you.”
“Dance? That's so sweet of you all!” Marie chirped.
“It's no problem, Marie.  Now, let's get to your seat so you can watch.”
“Oh!  Alright!”
As Damian and Marie got to their seats, Many girls dressed up in wonderful tutus made their way onto stage, the last two to enter was Dick and a girl. She was wearing the most beautiful dress Marie has ever seen. It was like the other girls but it was much more flowy and it had a much more detailed design. She had on a tiara with many different rhinestones that glimmered in the sunlight.
“Those are the snowflakes. And in the middle That’s Kori and Dick. Kori is married to Dick and she’s the Snow Queen.” Damian whispered.
“Wow..she's gorgeous.” Marie trailed off.
The dance started almost immediately, the snowflakes were twirling around the two in the middle while Dick picked up Kori and placed her onto his shoulder. As the dance ended the crowd roared. Both Dick and Kori walked up to the pair sitting and threw snowflakes around them. Marie stared at them with adoration while Damian stared at her.
As the rest of the snowflakes made their way off the stage, small little angels made their way to the stage and sat down at the side. A women in a pink tutu walked gracefully onto the stage and started to dance.
“Thats Selina, My mother. She is the Sugar Plum Fairy while my father is the Sugar Plum cavalier. He’ll be on stage soon I believe.”
“Oh I see..”
The Sugar Plum Cavalier made his way onto the stage to join his fairy in the dance. The dance was beautiful. They were in synced with each other.
“Wow.. They seem very close.” Marie whispered.
“Yes, they are… I hope I could find someone that completes me as Selina does Bruce.” Damian said while looking at Marie.
“M-Me as well,” Marie stuttered and quickly looked back at the dancers. Get it together, Marie!
The dance ended and the Sugar Plum Cavalier and Sugar Plum Fairy run up to the pair and bowed. Selina walked forwarded and greeted Marie.
“Hello Marie! I'm sorry I couldn't greet you earlier, I had to get ready for the celebration.”
“It's not a problem! I'm glad I got to meet you!”
“You too.. Damian, do treat the lovely young lady with respect,” Selina spoke firmly, with a soft smile.  Quickly, she turned her heel and left, leaving the two flustered kids in an awkward silence.
“Apologies on my mother’s behalf.  She has made a habit of being a little too forward sometimes.”
“Ah, I see..it’s no problem.”
They spoke for a little bit, but was soon interrupted by the sounds of footsteps.  Tim and a group full of girls ran around the stage. The girls were wearing outfits that looked similar to the princess Jasmin. Their hair was in ponytails with small hair ties in them. One girl ran up to Marie and gave her a light blue scarf.
“For you, Miss Marie.”
“Thank you” Marie spoke softly while struggling to wrap it around herself.  Her hair was getting in the way, and she tried to hide her frustration.  Damian shook his head, smiling.
“Allow me to help you,” Damian said while pulling her hair back.
“Thank you, Dami.”
“Dami?” He asked, smirking.
“Oh, apologies!  It was a slip of the tongue.  Is it alright if I called you, Dami?”  Damian smiled, and nodded.
“It would be an honor, Angel.”
As the dance ended Tim made his way towards the pair with the others.
“How’d you like the dance Marie?”
“Oh it was splendid!  Absolutely marvelous!  I was enchanted.”  Tim smiled.
“I'm glad you liked it. Jason is next, you’re in for a treat.”
“Oh! I'm excited.”
As they were talking many girls dressed up in dresses with many different shades of pink ran onto the stage. Their hair was pulled up into a high bun that was secured with flowers. While they were preparing for the dance, Jason ran into the middle and raised his hand. Flowers burst out of the sky, and a flower crown was magically placed onto Marie’s hair.
Cute. Damian thought.
As the dance finished Jason ran up to them.
“So pixie-pop! Did you like it?” He questioned.
“Of course! I adore the flower crown you made me! It's so lovely!” she chirped.
“‘I’m glad you enjoyed it- oh! Bows are starting! I’ll see you guys soon!”
As he ran back all of the dancers came onto the stage for bows. The crowd cheered for them. While everyone was having a good time, no one noticed the group of rats and their king enter into the stage. A bunch of explosions were set off and the group on stage went into a fighting stance.
“What’s going on, Dami?” Marie questioned while gripping his arm.  Damian avoided eye contact.
“That rats, they’re back. You stay here,” Damian spoke firmly.
“Absolutely not!  I will not stand idly by when you all could use my help!”
“Angel, no. If you were to get hurt because of me I would never forgive myself. I'm starting to feel things I have never felt before. Please. I can't lose you.”  Marinette looked into his eyes, and sighed.  She looked away.
“Alright…but should things turn for the worse, I will not stand by.  Do stay safe...for me?”
“I will,” Damian said while placing a kiss to her temple and running off.
The fight was nasty. It was way worse from the first one. Instead of small little swords they had full on metal swords. The rats were not winning but they were close. Marie was watching Damian closely. He was trying to fight off a group of rats when the Rat King swung his sword at him at his side.
“Dami!” Marie screamed while running towards them.
“Damian, oh my gosh are you ok?”  Damian grunted as a response but nodded.
Marie quickly removed the scarf she received from Tim and pressed it against the wound. In response he flinched but still remained in the same spot.
“Dami, can you hear me?”
“Y-Yes Angel. I-Im sorry,” he said as he closed his eyes.
“Dami! Damian no!” Marie sobbed as she pulled him into her chest.
Marie woke up in a cold sweat, facing the ceiling of her bedroom.  She froze for a moment, before she processed where she was.  She quickly moved around to feel for her nutcracker.
“Where is he? W-Where's Damian?” Marie yelled.
She quickly jumped out of bed and slipped into her robe and slippers. She quickly ran downstairs but missed a few steps and landed onto the floor. She scrambled up and ran towards the tree. He wasn't there. Marie quickly pushed around the presents that laid under the tree but still couldn't find him. She quickly moved over to the couch but their was still no luck. A few footsteps knocked her out of her panic, she quickly turned around and met eyes with her uncle Alfred and her brother Fritz.
“Uncle Alfred! You will not believe what happened yesterday! I went upstairs right? And I couldn't go back to sleep so I snuck downstairs to play with my nutcracker but then when I came he turned into a real life nutcracker! And your toys, Fritz, they turned into real life soldiers! There was this Rat King and his rats and they fought! I threw my shoe at him! And then we won! And and then the nutcracker prince took me back to the Land of Sweets and people from the lands danced for me! I got this scarf from Tim! And then when they were finished we got ambushed and then.. Oh my gosh Dami! He got stabbed what happened to him!” Marie shouted.
“Settle down Marie! I don't know what kind of dream you had last night but I need to introduce you to someone.”
“B-but Uncle Alfred! I need to find Dami!”
“He can wait. Now come.”
“Ugh fine! But I don't think this is really important-”
A tall boy turned around and met eyes with Marie. Emerald Green.
“D-Dami?”
“Angel?” Damian asked, while running up to her.  Marie ran up to him, and hugged him.  They embraced each other as Marie almost broke into tears.
“I thought you were stabbed?” Marie spoke, just barely in a whisper.
“I did but I’m fine now.  Oh my god, Marie I thought I would never see you again. After the battle you disappeared. I went looking for you but I couldn't find you anywhere.” Damian was almost about to cry, as he held her tighter, and buried his face into her shoulder.
“Shh, we’re alright now.  We are together now.” She said softly, while holding him tighter.  She rubbed his back to calm him down.
“What's going on Uncled Alfred?” Fritz asked while tugging on his jacket.  Alfred looked confused as he stared at them, trying to make sense of it all.  He sighed, before patting him on the head.
“I haven’t got a clue, Fritz.”

The New Yorkers (Part 26)
Percy opened the door to Annabeth’s apartment. He shut the door with his foot. Annabeth didn’t even look up. She sat with her feet propped up on the coffee table, alternating between staring at her laptop and the textbook next to her. 
Kicking off his shoes, Percy kissed Annabeth on the forehead and joined her on the couch. She’d been pretty quiet ever since their return from Camp Half-Blood a few days ago. Thankfully, her siblings had heard her out and voted to vacate the Athena Cabin. They’d admitted to Annabeth Athena hadn’t been much of a mother to them either, so when it came to choosing her or choosing to hopefully end a war, it wasn’t much of a choice to make. Annabeth’s sister Sophia had promised to alert the rest of the camp that same evening. Percy knew Annabeth had wanted to stay and deliver the message herself but Chiron had encouraged them to leave and allow the current campers to handle it, as that was how things were meant to be. Annabeth, never the type to want someone to do something she could do herself, was taking it hard. 
“You’re like a dog,” Annabeth sighed, looking down as Percy cuddled up to her and put his head in her lap, nearly knocking her laptop off her legs.
“I missed you, so sue me,” Percy said. He breathed in Annabeth’s lemony smell.
“You saw me this morning,” Annabeth pointed out. At this point, Percy sleeping over was pretty common. Annabeth of course didn’t mind. He couldn’t imagine Jason or Piper were upset about it either. 
Percy glanced at the clock under the TV. “Yeah, but that was a whole ten hours ago,” he whined.  
Despite herself, Annabeth glanced down at her boyfriend and smiled. He was such a doofus. She put her fingers in his hair. “You know,” she said slowly. “Your lease is up in July and I was thinking...”
“Is Annabeth- I like my space- Chase asking me to move in with her?” Percy said, faking an expression of awe. 
“Shut up,” Annabeth said back. “I mean you’re always over here anyway. And... it was going to happen eventually.”
“What makes you think that?” he asked. When Annabeth’s face went red with embarrassment, Percy laughed. He squeezed her tighter. “I’m just joking. Of course, I’d love to move in with you, Wise Girl. As long as you don’t mind a little mess.” Truly, Percy was excited to live with Annabeth. He looked forward to the fun parts like blowing up the kitchen while trying to cook together, and cuddling and watching movies. He didn’t exactly look forward to fighting over who left the toilet lid up, or their differing levels of cleanliness. 
Annabeth shook her head. “I know who I’m dating.”
“Well, at least you’ll have someone around to make sure you eat. I’m sure you’ve been studying all day,” Percy said. “Speaking of which, I ordered a pizza on the way home.”
Annabeth nodded absentmindedly. Even though his gestures were usually small, Annabeth couldn’t ever get enough of how thoughtful Percy was. “Well, you know I have that huge honors paper on the evolution of Revivalism,” Annabeth said.
Percy nodded. He reached across Annabeth to move her textbook out of the way. “I also know you drown yourself in books and studying when you’re stressed out,” he said gently. 
Annabeth sighed. “No, Percy. I have work to do,” Annabeth persisted. “Not everything is about-”
“I know, I know,” Percy said. “I just think- you know, based on the last two wars... I’d hate if we lost ourselves again. Not that I don’t care and I’m not worried, but we can’t let it consume our whole lives.”
Annabeth’s expression softened. She knew her boyfriend was right. Stewing on the matter wasn’t going to help anything, especially if there was nothing that could be done in the moment. Sophia and Chiron were handling things at camp.
“I know, Percy. But my mind wanders and then I feel guilty for not worrying sometimes even though I know worrying isn’t going to fix anything.”
“I get it. But we deserve lives, too. Chiron was right. We’ve made it this far, so we should be at least somewhat happy.” As if on cue, the doorbell rang. Percy let go of Annabeth and got up to open it. After he exchanged a few nice words with the pizza guy, he returned to the living room and set the box on the table. Annabeth got up to get plates. 
“Hey, I’m going to change real quick.” Percy called. 
“Okay.” It made Annabeth happy to know that in a few months, she and Percy would be living together full-time. Instead of him having a few changes of clothes in her apartment, all his things would be there. They’d be living like a real couple, happy and discovering life. If the gods’ alternative plans didn’t completely destroy their lives first. Annabeth tried to push the though out of her mind. She couldn’t think about that. She couldn’t give attention to her mother either, or else Athena’s presence would start to grow again. 
Annabeth plopped down on the couch. She opened the pizza box. Only when she smelled the food did she realize she hadn’t eaten since she’d come home that afternoon. Her mind had been reeling about schoolwork, and Percy, and everything else. Hazel had IMed and promised she’d get back in touch when Frank returned from Camp Jupiter in two days. Annabeth tried to take Percy’s advice. After all, it was a Friday night. They should be doing what any other young couple did- watch movies, hang out, just love each other. After all, who knew how much time they had left? Annabeth hoped it was eternity, but she knew better than almost anyone the next day wasn’t promised. 
Percy walked back into the living room. He stopped when he noticed Annabeth staring at him dumbly. She sat there, frozen, her plate in one hand a pizza slice in the other. “What?” Percy asked. 
“We should get married,” Annabeth blurted out.
Percy stared at Annabeth, mouth agape. It was unexpected but he knew she wasn’t joking. “Um, not that I don’t want to marry you, but where did that come from?” Percy asked cautiously, sitting next to her on the couch. He had half a mind to lay his hand on her forehead to see if she had a fever.
Annabeth shrugged. “I mean, we love each other,” she said casually. “And it’s not like we haven’t talked about it.”
“Yeah,” Percy agreed. He reached for a piece of pizza, trying not to make it obvious he was in absolute shock. “When we were older. And besides, we can’t get married before Hazel and Frank. That would be kind of rude.”
Annabeth pursed her lips like she hadn’t thought about that. “We could just go to the courthouse or something, Percy,” Annabeth suggested. “I don’t want the whole big wedding thing. I just want you. We don’t even have to tell them just yet.”
Percy was silent. He was thinking about how to approach the situation gently. Just minutes ago, Annabeth had asked him to move in, and now she wanted him to marry her. Both things had been completely out of the blue. Even though he loved Annabeth probably more than he loved himself, he knew she wasn’t just asking because she was eager to take their relationship to the next step. She was stressed, and scared, and wanting to grab hold to Percy in any way she could. 
“You think I’m going to leave you,” Percy realized. “And I’m not. I swear it on the River Styx.”
Annabeth’s eyebrows wrinkled. “Percy, don’t,” she said quietly. 
“But that’s why you’re asking, isn’t it? Because you’re scared.”
Annabeth stopped chewing. “I mean, I also love you, but don’t let that be a deciding factor,” she said bitterly.
“Of course, I know that,” Percy said, trying to keep cool. “But I also know that you think whenever things get a little difficult, I think about leaving you. I never do, you have to trust me on that.”
Annabeth didn’t know what to say. By the look on her face, Percy knew he was right. “I’m just saying it wouldn’t hurt,” she persisted. “Even if I know you aren’t going to leave me, it would feel even better to have something-”
“Permanent?” Percy guessed, thinking back to the conversations they had when they were teenagers. After everything that had happened, that seemed like decades ago.
Annabeth nodded. She didn’t have anything else to say. 
Admitted, things had been moving quickly since they’d gotten their memories of each other back. Things still felt new to Percy since he had to go through meeting Annabeth all over again, but things also felt very much the same. He didn’t know how to explain it well. He’d become accustomed to only dating her for a few months, only to realize they’d been together for years, and best friends longer than that. They had talked about marriage, and kids, and being a family, so Annabeth wasn’t out of line to bring it up again. And, shocked as he was, Percy would be a liar if he said he didn’t want those things too. What could it hurt if it happened a little earlier than planned?
“I’m not upset,” Percy assured her. “These last few months have been crazy but I get how you feel. I know it’s like we just lost each other, so things feel kind of fragile. But I promise it’s only made me love you more.”
Annabeth finally turned to look at him. “I love you too, Percy,” she said. There was still anticipation in her voice, like she was still waiting for her question to be answered. 
Percy sighed and leaned back on the couch. “I always thought I’d be the one to propose,” he started with a small smile. “I mean I figured I’d goof it up but still. I didn’t think it would come from you sitting on the couch looking like an absolute bum eating pizza.”
Annabeth hit him on the shoulder, but a smile crept across her face. “I mean, when have we ever done anything the normal way?”
Percy shrugged. He stared at his girlfriend- well, his soon to be wife. He couldn’t help but smile at the unexpected thought. “Good point. I guess we shouldn’t start now. Let’s do it, Annabeth. Let’s get married.”

A Quiet Night - Dick Grayson x Reader - Part Four
Tumblr media
Part One  Part Two  Part Three
Requested by Anon -  Yo, the Quiet Night series(?) makes me so happy-- it's so good and it makes me feel all warm inside hhshqhsb;; do you think you could write another part where maybe after a rough night on patrol(i'm assuming the reader is a vigilante too??), R gets hurt and when they're back home and Dick is stitching her up he asks her to marry him? maybe after they have to tell the batfam+selina? thanks in advance ❤❤!! your writing is so good smh-- you're awesome!!
***
“I didn’t think I’d fall on that piece of glass,” you hissed as Dick cleaned the deep cut on your bicep. The two of you were sitting on the edge of the bathtub in your shared bathroom.
Dick hummed. “I’m sorry for breaking that window.” 
You laughed, shaking your head. “Yeah, you better be sorry. Next time just burst through the door.” Dick chuckled before he started stitching up the cut.
It had been two years since you made your peace with Selina. You and Dick were still together. Maybe deeper in love than before. 
“You shouldn’t have went in without me,” Dick mumbled. You tensed at the sting from the needle. 
“I couldn’t wait. They were going to kill the hostage.” You bit your lip to hold back a gasp. The bathroom door opened slightly and a black cat slipped in. 
“Oh, so there’s Bruce. He never shows up unless you’re home.” Dick said, changing the subject to distract you from the pain. 
Bruce the cat jumped up beside you. You smiled, petting him with your good arm. “It’s probably because I’m Kitten and you’re Nightwing. The bird related name throws him off.” 
Dick snorted. “Sure, sweetheart.” He finished with the stitches, much to your relief. Bruce purred as you scratched behind his ear. 
He cleaned the skin around the cut and wrapped a bandage around it. “Is something wrong?” You glanced over at him. Dick started putting away the first aid kit, not looking at you.
“No, nothing’s wrong.” He dropped the needle on the floor. Dropping onto one knee, he searched for it. “Stay there, (Y/N). You don’t want to hurt your arm.” 
“I’m not helpless, you know,” you said, shaking your head. You kept petting the cat. Dick searched around with his back to you. 
“Found it,” he chuckled before turning around to face you. He was still on one knee, but instead of the needle in his hand, it was a ring box. 
“Dick, what are you doing?” Your heart skipped a beat at the sight. “That doesn’t look like the needle.” 
Dick cleared his throat, a big grin on his face. “(Y/N), I’ve loved you since I laid eyes on you all those years ago when we were just Robin and Kitten. We were apart for a while, but now that we’ve been back together, I can’t imagine how I would ever live without you.” He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath before looking you straight in the eye. “Would you do me the honor of marrying me?” 
You couldn’t breath as he opened the box in his hand to reveal the ring. “Oh my,” you gasped. Bruce jumped off the bathtub when you accidentally squeezed his ear too hard. Dick’s grin faded slightly when you didn’t answer. 
“(Y/N), you’re making me nervous.” Dick studied you. 
“I...I...” You stuttered before you stopped and took a deep breath to calm yourself. “Yes.” A laugh escaped you as you reached out to hug him tightly. 
Dick chuckled in relief and joy. “Careful of your arm, fiance/fiancee.” You kissed him hard to quiet him, reaching up to run your fingers through his hair. The cut stung from your movement, but you didn’t care. 
“You surprised me,” you whispered when you pulled away to catch your breath. Dick smirked, taking the ring out of the box and slipping it onto your finger.
“Good, that was my plan. I didn’t expect you to get hurt though.” Dick grinned at how good the ring looked on your finger. You studied it yourself, smiling happily. “And I had to wait until after Bruce and Selina tied the knot, of course. Didn’t want to steal their thunder or anything.” 
“Dick, that was a year ago.” You rolled your eyes at him and pressed another kiss to his lips. 
“Well, it took me a while to find the ring,” Dick mumbled against your lips. You ran your fingers through his hair again only to gasp when your arm began to sting. Dick pulled away, frowning when he saw blood seeping through the bandage. “You pulled your stitches.” 
“Yeah, but it was worth it.” You kissed him hard again. Dick smiled, accepting the kiss for a moment before he had to get the first aid kit out again.
***
Hours later in bed, you were resting your head on Dick’s bare chest to study the ring on your finger. Dick played with your hair, smiling lazily at you. 
“I’m so glad you said yes,” Dick whispered. You looked up at him with a smile of your own.
“I’m glad you asked me.” You kissed his lips before settling back down on his chest. His skin was sticky against your cheek. The glow from your lovemaking hadn’t left him yet. 
“Of course, we got to tell everyone.” Dick put his arms behind his head. You moved to rest your chin on his chest to look up at him. 
“Or we can just elope and tell them afterwards?” You gave him a smile when he looked at you in surprise.
He cleared his throat, frowning slightly. “If that’s what you want, but I was hoping for a wedding with the family. I’m sure they would want to be there too.” 
You buried your face into his chest. “Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Your voice only a whisper.
“What are you worried about, (Y/N)? My family loves you and Selina is happy we’re together.” Dick pulled you up to look him in the eye.
“I know.” You sighed, glancing over at the picture on the bedside table of you and Dick at Bruce and Selina’s wedding. “I just never saw myself getting married, I guess. No big white wedding for me.” 
Dick raised an eyebrow as you pulled away to lay down on your side of the bed with your back to him. “(Y/N), I wouldn’t want a big white wedding either. Just something small with the family.” 
You hummed, closing your eyes. “Whatever.” Sleep caught up to you and you drifted off. Dick turned, spooning you from behind. His warmth being the last thing you remembered before sleep.
***
Over the next few weeks, Dick noticed a change in you. He noted how you didn’t wear your ring out in public. You always seem to put it on when you were at home. When he asked you about it, you would laugh awkwardly and say you forgot to put it on. 
He didn’t want to mention telling the family again after your reaction last time. After all, it wasn’t a rush or anything. It wasn’t until he realized you didn’t tell your coworkers at your new dream job did he get worried enough to talk to you about it. 
It was on a night where both of you were going to stay in mostly due to Dick spraining his ankle the night before. You ordered delivery and the two of you cuddled on the couch while you waited. 
Dick watched you flip through Netflix. You weren’t paying attention, just searching through the selections to act like you were doing something. 
“Are you okay?” Dick asked, wincing when he shifted his sore ankle. 
“Keep it on the ice pack,” you said. You leaned down to make sure the ice pack wrap stayed around his ankle. “We don’t want it to swell up more than it already has.” 
“Okay, but you didn’t answer my question.” Dick watched you tense. You slowly slid back to sit beside him. 
“I’m fine, Dick.” You didn’t look at him, picking up the remote only to pick some random movie. 
“(Y/N), sweetheart.” Dick grabbed your chin and forced you to look at him. “Talk to me. I know you’re not fine. Is it about our engagement? Are you getting cold feet?” 
Your eyes widened. “No...no...maybe.” You pulled away from him, looking down at the ring on your finger. “I just...I like being engaged to you, but I...I...I don’t trust myself.” 
“What do you mean?” Dick took your hand, pressing a kiss to the back of it. 
“I...I don’t know if I’d be a good spouse to you.” You bit your lip to ignore the ache in your heart. “I didn’t have good parents, and it’s not like Selina taught me anything about commitment.” 
Dick blinked. “(Y/N), we’ve been living together for years.” 
“I know that, but this is different. You could have kick me out at anytime if I messed something up, but if we’re married, we can’t do that.” You looked at him. He flinched at the pained expression. 
“Honey, you’re not going to mess up.” Dick pressed a soft kiss to your lips. “There is no way you could mess this up. I’m in love with you and I want to be with you for the rest of my life. If we have an issue, we’ll work it out.” 
“I’m scared that everyone will hate me if I mess this up.” Your hand shook in his, not returning the kiss. 
Dick kissed your cheeks. “No one will hate you. If we have a problem, we’ll work it out. Most people won’t know about it, I promise.” 
You nodded, looking at him uncertainly. “Okay.” 
He studied you. “Do you want to tell people now?” 
“Sure.” The doorbell rang. You jumped to your feet to go meet the delivery guy. Dick watched you go. He knew you weren’t convinced. You and Selina might have made peace, but you were still recovering from her throwing you out and living on the street. He bit his lip as he watched you pay the delivery guy. What could he do to help you?
***
“So we have news,” Dick said, getting up from his chair at the dining room table at Wayne Manor. You sighed as Dick tugged you up with him. Selina and Bruce exchanged smiles and watched the two of you. Jason chuckled knowingly. Tim bit his lip, eyeing both you and Dick. Alfred stood in the background with a smile.
“TT, obviously. Why else would you call this dinner and force us all to be here?” Damian huffed, glaring over at you and Dick.
Dick laughed, reaching over to ruffle Damian’s hair. “Calm down, little D.” He winked at you. You gave him a tight smile. “So I don’t know if you noticed that ring on (Y/N)’s finger?”
Everyone turned to look at you. You froze, terrified. Dick frowned slightly, coming around to hold up your hand to show off the ring. 
Selina was on her feet in an instant and coming over to hug you. “Oh (Y/N), Dick, I’m so happy for both of you.”  You forced a smile on your face. Selina pulled back, studying you. 
“Congratulations, Dick, (Y/N),” Bruce said, clapping a hand on Dick’s shoulder. The boys came up and congratulated Dick. 
While they were distracted, Selina kept looking at you. “(Y/N), what’s wrong?” Selina whispered. 
You blinked, shaking your head. “Nothing,” you said, widening your fake smile. 
“(Y/N), so you’re going to tie the knot. What about us?” Jason said, coming over to swing you up in a hug.
“Us? Jason, we never were a thing,” you retorted. Your fake smile turning into a real one. 
Dick glanced over at you. He sighed in relief at your smile. “Master Dick, is something wrong?” Alfred whispered as Bruce, Tim, and Damian moved to talk to you too. 
“(Y/N) thinks they’re going to mess up our marriage,” Dick explained, still watching you. “They were happy when I asked, but I think when they had time for it to sink in, it scared them. I told them we’ll work through any problems we’ll have, but they’re still frightened.” 
Alfred hummed. “Have you tried to show them that?” 
Dick blinked. “Show them?” He looked at Alfred in confusion. “You want me to start a fight with them?”
“Perhaps. Show them that you can work through whatever problems might arise.” Alfred patted Dick’s shoulder before moving over to congratulate you. Dick watched him go, deep in thought.
*** 
It was a hard day at work and your mood was sour. What didn’t help your mood was coming home to find the cat’s litter box full and his food bowl empty. Dick promised to take care of the cat and clearly didn’t. Bruce was looking at you with suffering eyes, meowing for food. 
You quickly fed him, dialing Dick’s number. All you got his answering machine. “Damn it, Dick.” You stewed in your anger as you cleaned the litter box. Bruce meowed in satisfaction. 
Hours past before Dick finally crawled through the window. He smiled when he saw you waiting for him. His smile fell when he saw the pissed off look on your face.
“Hey, beautiful.” Dick came up to kiss you, but you pushed him away. 
“You didn’t feed Bruce or clean his litter box.” With a sharp punch to his arm, you let out a low growl. Dick flinched. “I asked you to do one thing, but you didn’t.” 
“(Y/N), honey, I just forgot.” Bruce walked by, rubbing against Dick’s leg. “He’s fine. It’s not like he starved to death.” 
You frowned, a knife twisting in your heart at his words. Did he forget you almost starved to death just a few years ago? “That doesn’t matter. He was hungry. He shouldn’t be hungry.” You snapped, tears burning your eye. Embarrassment ran through you as you quickly turned away to enter the bedroom. 
“Woah, hey.” Dick tried to follow you, but you slammed the door in his face. “(Y/N), I’m sorry. Please don’t shut me out.” He sighed when he heard your sobs through the door. Bruce meowed at him again. “Yeah, I know. I shouldn’t have risked it,” Dick mumbled to the cat. He stripped out of his Nightwing suit and got ready to spend the night on the couch. 
***
You woke the next morning alone with sticky swollen eyes. The anger from the night before had left and you now only felt empty inside. You understood Dick probably just forgot to take care of the cat. It wasn’t too big of a deal since you were home only a few hours after him.
Slight embarrassment filled you, feeling like you overreacted. You peeked out of the bedroom door to find the couch empty, but there was the blanket and the pillow on it to prove Dick spent the night there. A frown pulled at your lips as you headed into the bathroom. Your heart ached when you remembered how Dick proposed to you. Did you mess it all up now? Is Dick going to ask for his ring back? You glanced down at the ring on your finger, swallowing hard.
Slowly, you washed your face and did your morning routine. You froze for a second when you heard Dick entering the apartment and talking on the phone to someone. A sigh escaped you, mentally preparing yourself for the backlash. You’ll be thrown out and on the streets again. A shiver ran up your spine as you blinked back tears. 
You finished in the bathroom, braving the result of last night’s outburst. Dick was banging around in the kitchen with Bruce the cat meowing at him. “Yeah, I know you’re hungry,” Dick said to the cat. You peeked into the kitchen, stunned by what you saw. 
The table was lit by two candles with a vase of beautiful flowers in the center. Dick was plating food out of to-go containers from a fancy restaurant nearby. 
He heard your footsteps and turned to look at you. “Hey sweetheart. Glad you’re up. Breakfast is almost ready,” Dick said cheerfully. He turned back to the food as your jaw dropped.
You blinked several times. Your body tense, thinking it was some kind of cruel trick. Bruce came over and rubbed against your leg, meowing for breakfast. You moved to feed him. The weight of Dick’s gaze was on you as you dumped the food into his dish. 
You slowly got to your feet and turned around to face Dick. He put the plates on the table before coming over and taking your hands. “I’m sorry about forgetting to take care of Bruce.” He looked you in the eye. You lost your breath at his blue eyes. “I should have remembered and you can be mad at me still, but I got you breakfast.” 
“Okay,” you mumbled. Dick smiled, leading you over to a chair. He pulled it out for you and you slowly sank into it. You felt numb, waiting for the other shoe to drop. 
Breakfast went well with Dick talking up a storm about random things. You picked at your food, eyeing him when he wasn’t looking at you. The frustration built up inside of you, wanting Dick to snap and throw you out. 
Dick was just getting up to take the dishes to the sink when you couldn’t keep it in any longer. “So you are going to throw me out, because if you are, just get it over with.” You got to your feet to stare him down. Dick slowly turned to face you, shock on his face.
“Honey, I’m not going to throw you out. I messed up and you got mad.” He set the plates down to wrap his arms around your waist and pull you against him. “And now we can make up.” He kissed you hard enough to make you see stars. 
You didn’t kiss him back, too stunned. A hand on Dick’s chest was enough for him to pull away. “But...But...” Your mind couldn’t comprehend. 
Dick touched his nose to yours and looked you straight in the eye. “We can work through anything, (Y/N). I love you and I know you love me.” He kissed you softly this time. 
“We’ll work through anything?” you whispered, tears slipping down your cheeks. There was too much crying for you today. 
“Yeah, anything. I asked you to marry me, because I want to be with you forever.” He kissed away your tears. Bruce rubbed against your leg. “I will never kick you out. Even if you yell at me or I yell at you or we just yell at each other. We will always work it out.” 
“Promise?” Your lips trembled.
“Promise.” Dick tightened his arms around your waist and lifted you up against him. His lips sealed to yours, spinning you around. 
A breathless laugh escaped you. “Oh Dick.” He started carrying you toward the bedroom. “I’m glad I said yes.” 
“Me too.” He nuzzled his face into your neck as he ran into the bed, sending you and him tumbling back onto it. You both laughed, sharing kisses. “I can’t wait to marry you.” His words made your heart sing for the first time since he popped the question. He kissed you again before the two of you focused on showing your love for each other.

the wedding date - ch. 6
a/n: hope you enjoy! heads up the next chapter will be nsfw 
part 6 of the percabeth fake dating!au 
part 1
“Cheers!”
Piper and her bridesmaids clinked phallic shot glasses with “P GETS J’d” engraved on the sides, and each downed shots of tequila.
The interior of Cabin 10, Piper’s old cabin, had been completely redecorated by Drew and Leo that afternoon. The pink walls and vanities that littered the floor were decked out in various penius paraphernalia. The bridal party, all decked out in clubbing clothes and bridesmaid sashes, all gathered around a truly impressive array of alcohols and cocktail ingredients to pre-game Piper’s hen do.
Leo climbed on top of a pink velour ottoman, “Ahem, attention!” He clinked a hot pink penis-shaped straw against his shot glass, “Welcome to Beauty Queen’s Final Night Out—”
“Ah, ah, ah, no, Leo, that is not what we’re calling it,” Piper chimed, sucking on lime.
“Fine, Piper’s Penis Parade—”
“No.”
“Rest in Peace, Piper’s Innocen—”
“Leo.”
“Fine! Piper’s bachelorette party,” Leo grumbled, “Got an exciting night for you ladies planned. Argus is gonna drive you guys in-land to the club, you’ll dance the night away with an open bar, and he’ll drive you guys back here when you’re all thoroughly blacked out. Be mindful, though, for those in the wedding party, we have a dance lesson in the morning so go crazy, go stupid, but you have to have a functioning body in the morning.”
Even though they were just going to the one-and-only source of night life in Montauk, Annabeth looked at her friends, they looked amazing. She felt extremely good herself in a short, black bodycon dress that showed off her athletic build and her “man killer” heels from college — the alcohol in her system helped too.
As Leo rattled off the list of things to be mindful of during the night, Annabeth leaned over and began to make herself a martini.
Piper, in white jeans and a flowy, low-cut top under her sparkly white “Bride” sash, nudged Annabeth as she plopped an olive into her glass, “Hey, make me one too. A double if Leo is going to keep on talking.”
Annabeth chuckled, glancing over to Leo atop the footrest who had been joined by Drew in listing off the acceptable songs to request to the DJ. She handed Piper the martini glass.
“Thanks,” Piper muttered, throwing it back, “I am exhausted after today, but Leo insisted I have my bachelorette party tonight with everyone here.”
“Today was so fun, though,” Annabeth said, “I forgot how much I missed this place.”
“Percy looked like he was having a good time.”
“Oh? I’m glad, I was a little nervous about bringing him.”
“I could tell. But he’s great, ‘Beth, really. I’m glad you brought him,” Piper said, “I know I only met him this morning, but you guys are good together. I just sense this easiness with the two of you. He seems to make you happy”
Annabeth flushed. Percy did make her happy, “Yeah, he’s—Percy’s a good guy.”
Thalia, who was downing her second drink, piped into their conversation, “We’re talking about Percy? Yeah, Annabeth, Percy. I mean, wow. That is a hot piece of ass, right there. And I like men and women so it takes a lot to catch my eye.”
Annabeth nodded in agreement and grabbed a hard cider from the cooler just to keep from having to respond.
“I mean you always got the cute ones, didn’t you?” Thalia said, taking the cider from her and handing Annabeth her empty wine glass. “Percy, Luke...”
“Thalia—” Piper said.
“But then again, it took you years of pining after Luke for him to notice you. It’s funny how you and Percy, how long did you say, a month ago? Only? And you already brought him to us. I can see why though, he’s so goddamn attractive.
Annabeth’s face and anger flared, “Thalia—”
Thalia rambled on, “Perfect timing so you could have a wedding date because gods forbid perfect Annabeth with her perfect career and perfect life not have a perfect date, too. It was easy though, right, because all the guys fall for Annie! He’s no Luke, though.”
“Enough, Thals. She’s just drunk, ” Piper muttered to Annabeth, rolling her eyes. She could tell Piper was annoyed with her fiancé’s sister. Thankfully, Leo had finished explaining proper night club dance circle etiquette and Drew started blasting trashy pop.
Knock, knock.
“Was anyone missing?” Piper asked, counting heads around the room, “No, all five of you are here, Calypso wasn’t feeling well and Reyna’s down with the boys.”
“I’ll get it!” Thalia said, crossing the cabin to the door, a fresh glass of rosé in hand.
It was Percy.
With the tequila and wine already flowing through their veins, Piper’s bridesmaids erupted in squeals when they saw him — an expected reaction for any attractive man who happened to fall prey to a bachelorette party.
Annabeth stood from Piper’s side and met him at the door, “Hi,” she said, her eyes bright and cheeks flushed from the alcohol.
“Wow,” Percy said, seeing her short, black dress and stilettos, “You look amazing.”
“Thanks,” Annabeth smirked, this dress was a killer every time. “What are you doing here?” Annabeth was acutely aware of all the girls staring daggers at them.
“You forgot your wallet in our cabin,” Percy said, holding out her black leather wristlet.
“Oh, thank you, I didn’t even notice,” Annabeth said, taking it from him. Percy glanced over her shoulder and also noticed their audience. He waved.
“Sorry to intrude, ladies.”
“No, no!” Drew said, clambering over everyone to meet them at the door, “Have a drink with us!”
“Nah, it’s alright,” Percy said, brushing his dark curls out of his face, “I should head over, Jason invited me to join his stag night.”
“What are you guys doing?”
“Just some beers down by the lake.”
“Don’t forget board games,” Piper called from where she was lounging, “Jason will definitely insist on board games.”
“Are you heading down to the lake now, Percy?” Leo asked, “I’ll join you.”
“You’re not coming with us, Leo?” Annabeth asked.
“Please, I may be the Man of Honor, but I still want to hang with my boys. Shall we Percy?”
Percy nodded as Leo ran down the itinerary again with Drew, the acting party planner in his absence. Percy settled his hands on Annabeth’s waist, kissing her lightly on the cheek, “Be safe tonight, okay?”
Annabeth flushed from the kiss, but retorted, “I can take care of myself.”
“I know you can.”
“Ready, Perce?” Leo said, striding towards the door. Percy nodded.
“Bye,” Annabeth said, waving with the hand clutching her wallet, “Have fun.”
The door had barely shut before Annabeth was attacked with squeals about how attractive Percy was.
“Where the heck did you find him, Annie!” “Where can I get one?” “It’s like you bought him at a Build-a-Boy.”
“You have no idea,” Annabeth muttered.
____________
“I will trade you two ballistae for your war elephant,” Frank said, pushing a pile of chips towards Nico.
“Fat chance, Zhang,” Nico said, “We’re not letting Hannibal go for some ballistae.”
Frank and Percy and Jason had gotten on well during capture-the-flag today and invited him to come along to the bachelor party. Percy had felt a little weird crashing since he had met all these guys just this morning, but there was something about being at a summer camp that accelerated friendships — like how when you would meet a kid at the playground and be playing like you were best friends five minutes later.
They had set up a nice spread at the lake dock, beer, chips, cigars (just for show, Nico was the only one he held one in his mouth and it was unlit) and, as Piper had promised, board games. They were playing a game called Siege that Frank had brought over for Camp Jupiter. It was super complicated with lots of pieces and points and bonuses so Percy had teamed up with Frank for the first round.
Leo pulled up a folding chair to their table and handed out beers, “Who’s winning?”
Jason grinned, pushing up his glasses, “Me, who else.”
“My bad, I’m slowing Frank down,” said Percy, “I just can’t wrap my head around the objective of the ‘Octavian’ card.”
“No one ever does,” Leo chuckled, “Doesn’t matter though, Percy came by the girls’ cabin earlier. You’re winning no matter what. The ladies love you.”
Percy grabbed a handful of chips, “Shut up, Valdez.”
Jason shuffled his cards, “He’s right, Percy. You got Annabeth, that is quite the respectable feat.”
“Oh?” Percy said. He recalled Rachel always talking about her roommate during Romeo & Juliet rehearsals, and he remembered seeing her and thinking she was them most beautiful person he’d ever seen at opening night so getting to know Annabeth today had been a dream. He could tell right away she was not someone to be messed with, but it was interesting to hear about her from her childhood best friends.
The conversation had finally pulled Frank away from his card game strategizing, “Annabeth’s scary.”
Will piped up from the edge of the dock where he was strumming his guitar, “It’s true. I’ve known Annabeth since we were seven and one time she punched this one camper in the face when he tried to give her a flower.”
“She always wins capture the flag. One, because she’s an awesome battle strategist, but also because everyone’s too scared to find out what’s going to happen if she doesn’t win.”
At that moment, Reyna, Jason’s best woman, came over, “I started a bonfire if you guys want to roast hot dogs.”
“Oh, heck, yes,” Jason said, abandoning the game, “You’re the best, Rey.” Jason pecked her on the cheek. She lovingly shoved him.
Leo followed him, “Yeah, RA-RA, you are the best.” He also leaned to peck Reyna on the cheek, but she held up a hand.
“Don’t even think about it, Valdez.”
“You want to grab some hot dogs?” Percy asked Frank.
“Nah, I’m good. Still stuffed from dinner.”
“Same.”
Will and Nico also decided to stay behind at the dock with them. Nico was on his umpteenth beer and nicely settled in his chair, and Will leaned against him, still strumming a tune on his guitar.
Frank set down his cards, “How did you and Annabeth get together if I could ask?”
Percy cleared his throat, he and Annabeth had repeated the story many times today, but he still needed to be careful to keep things as vague and close to the truth as possible, “Rachel directed a show I was in, and we met at opening night.”
“I’m glad you made it past her hard exterior, not a lot of people do. She is scary, but it’s because she’s guarded.”
Percy nodded, he loved hearing more about Annabeth, “How old were you guys when you met?”
“I was sixteen, she was seventeen. Being a teenager really just is the worst, I felt all awkward and huge, but she helped me out. She cares a lot, and once she cares about you, well, let’s just say she’s a great person to have on your team. But you know that.”
“Right.” Percy had of course noticed right away that Annabeth was a guarded person, but they were so easy together. He felt a jolt of pride that he too got to experience the softer, caring side of Annabeth that really only her childhood friends experienced.
“Who’s a great person to have on your team?” Luke had wondered over from the bonfire.
Frank reddened. Percy cleared his throat, “Annabeth.”
Luke paused. “Oh, uh, yeah. She is.”
“I know,” Percy said, holding his gaze.
“Look man,” Luke said, “I’m sure someone filled you in, and I know it’s awkward—”
“Oh, I don’t feel awkward,” Percy said, “Sorry if having your ex’s new boyfriend around makes you feel awkward.”
Frank’s head ping-ponged between Luke and Percy.
Luke’s gaze hardened, “I don’t know what you’ve heard about us—”
“Yeah, man, fuck you for real,” Nico barged in, slurring his words, “You really messed up with Annabeth, that was such a dick move. Wasn’t it a dick move, babe?”
Will stood up with his guitar, and hoisted Nico up from the chair, “I think it’s time for us to go and put this one to bed before he says anything else. Come on, babe.”
Jason, Leo, and Reyna returned with a plate of roasted hot dogs and buns. “You two leaving?” Jason asked.
Will nodded, motioning to Nico slumped against his side, “It’s time.”
Percy stood, too, “I’ll go with you. Jason, thanks so much for letting me crash your party. Goodnight everyone.”
As Percy walked through camp back to Cabin 3, he let his thoughts wander to the blonde that had been on his mind since opening night of Romeo & Juliet. He was so surprised with himself when he received that call from her and immediately said yes. Truth was, he had already been planning on asking Rachel for her number. He honestly would’ve been her date to this wedding for free.

Annabeth was so drunk.
She had been pissed at Thalia, and flustered by Percy so she coped by being Piper’s drinking buddy and took shots with the bride all night.
The lovely bride-to-be was currently weeping in her sister’s lap in the backseat of the car. “I just, hiccup, love Jason so much, Drew,” Piper wailed, “There’s just, like, so much love in me for that stupid, hiccup, dumb blonde.”
Drew had taken her sister-of-the-bride duties well and took care of them that night, including rounding them all up from the dance floor to bring them home at midnight. She smoothed Piper’s hair, “I know, sweetie, it’s because of mom. She really fucked us up in the love department.”
Everyone else was also in various stages of inebriation — Thalia was pouty, Hazel giggly and happily, and Annabeth was feeling brave and confident and was laser-focused on one thing — Percy. She wanted to see him and his stupid hair and stupid green eyes and stupid cute smile now. They say sober thoughts are drunken actions, and she needed some action with Percy.
The car dropped them off at the Big House, and they stumbled as a sloppy, bachelorette amoeba to Cabin 10. Drew did her best, passing out makeup wipes and finding everyone sweatshirts to trade for their alcohol and sweat soaked dresses. Soon, Piper and Hazel were snoozing and tucked into a bunk bed. Annabeth had thrown her hair into a ponytail and pulled on a camp shirt and yoga pants. She could always hold her liquor so her peak drunkenness manifested as a confident buzz.
Drew had already slipped on a matching silk pajama set, “Annie, you wanna sleep here? There’s room.”
“No thanks, I think I want to sleep in my own bed.”
Drew grinned, “Use protection, Annabeth!”

Percy’s dreams always took him to the water. He was surfing. He was swimming. He was a kid splashing in the water with his mom. He was swimming with a beautiful mermaid with long, flowing blonde curls. She was getting dragged by the current and getting tangled the seaweed.
“Hey!” bubbles spewed under his mouth, “The seaweed, watch out! The seaweed—”
“Percy.”
“Percy.”
Percy woke up to Annabeth sitting on the edge of their bed,  gently nudging him awake, “Hey, Seaweed Brain.” He sat up.
“Is it time to start getting ready?” he mumbled, wiping away drool.
“No,” she grinned, “It’s like two in the morning. You were dreaming.”
“Oh, um,” Percy flushed.
Annabeth stood and held out her hand, “Come on a walk with me, I want to show you around camp.”
