A culture post for the girlie pops (and non-girlie pops) looking to write Pavitr Prabhakar accurately.
(P.s- I’m Indian and live in India and have been to Mumbai multiple times so shhh- )
(P.s.s- all i know about the spider verse comes from the movies so I’ll be focusing more on the Indian aspect. )
So in honour of atsv coming on Netflix-
FOOD- Pavitr live in Mumbai (mumbattan) so he probability of him eating “butter chicken or naan” (traditionally north Indian dishes) on a daily basis is almost nonexistent. (This is not to say he won’t have them occasionally but much of what people think is indian food comes from stereotypical North Indian food, pavitr lives in South Indian)
Popular food of Mumbai includes- vada pav(street food), panipuri(another street food), pav bhaji (not a street food), bhelpuri and sevpuri( you guessed it a street food) and for more every-day food- we have dal-roti or dal-chawal etc
(Edit: I forgot to mention this but, a lot of people are vegetarian either by choice or by religion and don’t eat meat (eating beef is HEAVILY and i mean heavily frowned upon.)
Tumblr media
SCHOOL- In india we don’t have middle school or high school, we have grades.
We also have public and private schools (and unlike the USA, private school is not for the uber rich, middle-class families typically send their kids to private school and government(or public) schools are basically free or really cheap). Thus, Pavitr probably studies at a private school.
Keeping that in mind, Students from grade 1-12 study in one building and students actually sit in the same class while the teachers move from class to class. There is also something called school boards but for all our sakes, he studies in a school that follows CBSE guidelines. Now according to google, he’s around 15-16 so he’s in 10th or 11th depending on the school he goes to.
We have these really important exams called the “board exams” ( we just call them ‘boards’) And they are given twice by the students once in the 10th grade and once in the 12th grade and these are like really really important, kinda think of them as psats or sats(lmk if anyone wants to know more about boards) and if he’s in 10th he’ll be giving the boards in May.
After which he’ll pick a stream (medical, non-medical, commerce or failure) that he’s gonna study in 11th. There is a lot of emphasis on studies in India ( if you get good marks in 10th it’s considered that you’re good or ‘set’ for life but thats kinda bs) and it’s really competitive, students often go to tuition (think of them as an after-school school) for hours after school. Maths and science tuitions are the most common.
Uniforms (a half-sleeve shirt with a tie and pants or knee length shorts for guys) are also mandatory and are strictly regulated along with hair and nails. (Two braid or plaits for girls with below the shoulder hair and typically short hair for guys that have to be oiled) so im assuming that he gets called out a lotttttt about his hair, and teachers are constantly on his ass about cutting it which I think is funny af. The school timings are typically from 8-3 and tuitions are typically from 4-7.
It would also be super-cute if his aunt massaged his hair with oil (it’s considered an act of service and something people do to show their love)
10th grade especially is really really stressful in india and if home-boy cries himself to sleep every night I wouldn’t be surprised. So make him supppeeerrrr strrreeeessssed.
Name- Pavitr “Prabhakar” is a Hindu( a religion of sorts) name.
It’s derived from the Sanskrit word “prabhākara” which means “light maker” (from prabhā 'light' + -kara 'causing'), an epithet of the sun. So to those saying he’s a sunshine boy, his surname means light maker (do with that what you will).
Now, for his first name “Pavitr” however there is no exact meaning as, the name is most probably derived from Pavit ; maybe Pavitra(a typical girl’s name) if you’re pushing it. The meaning of Pavit is Love or A lovely and pious individual.
Edit: apparently pavitr does have it’s own meaning and it means pure
So his name roughly translates to lovely (edit: pure) sunshine boy.
Transport- Now i know that he’s spider-man but when he’s not, the most common way to travel in Mumbai is by an automobile (also called auto or auto-riksha).
Tumblr media
One of these things ^^ and these ‘go by the meter’ (you basically pay for the distance you have covered and a meter calculates this.) these things are everywhere. You call for one of these by raising your hand and an auto stops in front of you and you ask if they will take you to the place you wanna go to (“bhaiya, _____ lekar chalo ge?”)
There can only be 3 people max on one auto (not including children) as per local government policies.
Another common way to travel is by the subway or local trains. ( and contrary to popular beliefs they are not filled to the brim with people). Cars are not that common as there is a lot of traffic. Like a lot.
Language- Most indians speak at least 2-3 languages- English, Hindi and a local language or two. Since they’re in Mumbai Pavitr probably speaks Marathi. Some people also know Sanskrit (but that’s not that common nowadays).
(Edit: People typically don’t speak in just one language, they typically use a mix of atleast two or three languages which change according to the region they are in. For example- English and hindi is the most common but some may mix in their regional language or dialect)
Also spider in hindi is makri (makdhi?) so i think it would be super funny if people called him makri (makdhi?) man.
People in India also curse a lot (not in English though) (though not in front of parents obviously) and the more people get angry the stronger accent the becomes.
Housing- housing in Mumbai is super expensive, and most people live in flats or apartments rather than houses, Mumbai is considered to be one of the most expensive places to own a home in the world just because of the sheer number of people there.
All flats in mumbai have air- conditioning units in them because it. is. so. humid and winter lasts for a month or two in comparison.
Culture- Mumbai is kind of regarded as one of the culture hubs of India, a lot of up and coming artists along with famous superstars live in Mumbai. There are a lot of exhibitions, shows and whatnot happening all the time.
Mumbai is also more progressive then the rest of India and pride parades do happen here but there is still a lot of stigma around it
(Edit: PDA in public is almost taboo, doesn’t matter who anyone is—kissing in public might actually land you in jail)
Teens typically wear jeans, shorts and graphic tees rather than kurtas or salwar-kamez (traditional clothing) .
Traditional clothing is typically worn on festivals such as holi( the festival of colour( some people wear white suits and kurtas)) or Mumbai’s most celebrated festival- “Ganesh Chaturti” (which is a religious festival religious festival to honour the Lord Ganesha.
Sports- cricket is the most watched sport in India a lot of kids play it on the streets or in parks and gardens, and its an India vs Pakistan match is an event in which everyone in the family (some even invite friends over) sit together and yell at the tv.
Mumbai is a city in which time stops for no one, and people are super busy. This doesn’t mean that people there are rude in fact they are some of kindest and helpful ppl you’ll ever meet(not including the obligatory rude af asshole that are in every community) especially in a city that never stops.
India is also not a country that lives in rags we used to be called sone ki chidiya (or bird made of gold) before the British Invasion so please for the love of god don’t depict everyone living in slums and poverty. The national currency is rupees and again i cannot stress this enough even though there is poverty in india, that doesn’t mean there isn’t prosperity. India is a developing country so keep that in mind while you write.
Religion and caste - This is a very touchy and sensitive subject in India and you should probably research a lot or stay clear of it in general ( especially the caste system its messed up and just stay clear of it) but Gayatri’s father is Sikh or at least punjabi so I’m assuming she is too. ( if she’s from Punjab or its surrounding area, then she probably speaks punjabi or her father most probably does).
(Edit: there are a lot of different religions in india —almost too many to count— and every single one has their own gods, prayers and rituals so please please please research before you write)
But something all Indian (boys) are taught to do is to touch their elders feet to show/ask for respect (and “ashirwad” I don’t know what this translate too directly in English but think of it as blessings)
Anyways here is a not very brief overview on mumbai and pavitr , let me know if you have any questions or if something isn’t really clear, English isn’t my first language so I apologise for the errors.
Please feel free to ask me anything ill do my best to answer back. : D
if you actually find this long ass post helpful and write a fic or something please tag me i would love to read it.

Meet Cutes (or uglies) with Enha
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
stranger enha x f!reader, fluff, lots of different lengths, not proof read
Hee
It was one of the first days that it had really felt like fall, low seventies and no humidity
So you were taking a walk (way to get those steps in icon) to celebrate being able to go outside without melting onto the sidewalk
Eventually you hit one side street that must have been ahead of all the rest because there were already brown leaves scattered all across the sidewalk
Upon further inspection, you realized just how crunchy the leaves were… which obviously set you off on a leaf crunching spree, looking at your feet to find the biggest, crunchiest looking leaves
The sounds were happily itching your brain until you rammed straight into someone, having been too focused on your feet to notice Heeseung walking straight at you
You profusely apologize, but he just thinks it’s cute— he asks the expert to show him which leaves are crunchy so he can join you
Jay
Jay
You hated going places by yourself, being alone always felt awkward and you ended up staring at your phone the whole time trying to look busy
So you challenged yourself to go out alone and not look at your phone— personal growth and such
Which leads you to a dressing room, the little black dress you tried in looking very not little as it gapes open on your back
If only you had brought literally anyone with you to zip you up
But no, you just had to make yourself a more rounded person smh
But Jay being the Angel that he is notices your pouting in the mirror and the way you continuously wriggle to try and reach the zipper behind you
(If you’ve ever had to do this ik yk what I mean 😭 that’s mega embarrassing for us)
So, ever the gentleman, he approaches and asks if you want help.
Normally you’d be like ew no creep, but he’s really pretty and looks nice and you really wanna see what the dress looks like, so you give him permission
No way he even brushes your back, mans is mega respectful with his hands
He steps back once you’re all zipped up and watches as you try and decide how you feel about it
“It looks good.”
You hadn’t realized he was still there, but you meet his eyes in the reflection of the mirror, immediately going red and looking away when he says his next words.
“Maybe you can wear it, say, this Friday night? 7?”
Jake
Stupid awkward wedding receptions (ik weddings are different in different cultures so I’m sorry for whitewashing this headcanon, toss the bouquet and garter are probably very USA)
Some random girl from your work was getting married, and she invited the whole office.
Obviously you weren’t going to be rude (or pass up free food) so you put on one of your old dresses and sat through the whole hour long ceremony
Then came the part you were actually waiting for: the reception 🎉🎉
All the fun stuff happens, you get free food and drinks and the couple does their first dance (which you admit was cute even if she’s your least favorite coworker)
And then you’re getting drug onto the floor because she’s about to toss the bouquet and knows you’re painfully single
You swear she was aiming right at you, because you didn’t even move— hoping other girls would be risking it all for the daisies
But OF COURSE it ends up in your hands, and you’re forced to sit awkwardly at the side while her husband does the same thing with her garter
You didn’t expect the guys to try too hard, but Jake did not come to play, especially after seeing the pretty girl that caught the bouquet
So he knocks Jay over to catch the small piece of cloth, and then gets to dance with you ( W for Jake)
The song is good, just fast enough that it doesn’t feel overly romantic, but slow enough that you two end up slow dancing
At first you were terrified that it would be awkward, but Jake is cute and talkative and you don’t even realize it when the song is over.
“How about another one?”
Sunghoon
Listen, you knew studying wasn’t your thing.
But a tiny part in your brain thought for see if you went to a cute little cafe and got a coffee , your frontal lobe would be forced to do its job
Which apparently, everyone else at your school also thought. Because when you get to the coffeehouse it’s packed.
Students everywhere, coffees and computers set up and not a single free table.
There’s only one spot that includes a free seat and is close enough to an outlet because you forgot to charge your laptop again
And it’s right across from Sunghoon, an intimidatingly handsome guy your age who looks to have just gotten to the shop as well
You approach him, quietly asking if you can take the chair across from him— to which he doesn’t even look up, just nods his head and continues writing
So flash forward, you’ve ordered your coffee and are midway through the first chapter of your reading when the waiter brings the cup over
You mumble a thank you, reaching out to grab it without looking up
You take a sip, immediately shooting your eyes away from the text to see the cup in your hand, a deep black color
You make eye contact with the boy across from you, who’s trying to hold in a laugh
“I think you grabbed the wrong drink”
You look back down at the cup, embarrassed out of your mind
“I’m so sorry, I’ll buy you a new one”
You stand up and he quickly grabs your wrist. “Do you even know what it is?”
“Based off of what it tasted like, I was gonna order you a large battery acid latte”
He just shakes his head, letting out an airy chuckle before standing up and going with you to the counter
“I’m glad I was able to introduce you to real coffee.”
Cue the fighting about the best drinks and health benefits of drinking battery acid vs straight sugar, which leads to no homework getting done and a date at the same place the next day
Sunoo
You were out doing some research for your school assignment
Somehow your teacher decided it would be smart to make her students interview strangers to collect data
“Yes, hello, do you know anything about space?”
Most of the people you’d asked were boring, giving you the bare minimum (except the one lady who talked for twenty minutes and the old man who yelled at you )
Until you stopped Sunoo, appearing excitedly in front of him and asking if he knew the difference between a comet and an asteroid
You were so cute, and he wanted to impress you so bad ‼️
So he stood there for a while, going “it’s right on the tip of my tongue, I’m not stupid, I swear I know it!” (He did not know it)
Eventually you move on, continuing to ask him more opinion based questions before deciding to be bold because when else would you ever see the extremely cute guy again
“Last question: are you single?”
Homeboy was a tomato, nervous giggling and all.
“I am for now…are you busy after this?”
Jungwon
You hated your best friend.
Okay not really, she was your best friend— but right now you hated her
There was no hesitation in your mind when she asked you to come to her Winter Formal dance— hee boyfriend dumped her the week before and she needed a last minute date
So there you were, at a school you’ve never been to before in your nicest dress while loud pop music blares into your ears
The only issue was that suddenly your friends ex had decided he wanted her back, and now you were stuck third wheeling as they danced a little too close to each other for your comfort
Which was bad enough when a fun song was on, but when the dj started a love song, sending it out to “all the lovers out there” that was your last straw
You ignore their kissing as you try to navigate between all the dancing couples to get to a table to sit at until either the song was over or you called your mom to rescue you
Unfortunately for you, the floor was very crowded, and you ended up bumping into someone
When you turned to apologize, you came face to face with the cutest boy you’ve ever seen, his dimples flashing as he gave you a reassuring smile “don’t worry about it, are you okay?”
You nod your head, still too enamored to respond, but soon his friends start bumping him, and you’re back to looking for an escape, convinced they all think your weird
Instead, the boy looks at his feet, avoiding your eyes as he says “would you maybe want to dance? I think you’re really pretty.”
You stare blankly for a minute, to which he quickly adds “unless you’re here with someone I’m sorry for asking,” but you quickly cut him off, offering him your hand
“I’d love to!”
And your best friend was once again your favorite person because you got to dance with Jungwon all night
Riki
Listen, you’re not a child anymore so you’re totally allowed to go to the grocery store at any time that you want
Which includes ten pm(22:00)
So there you were, standing in the candy aisle, contemplating if you really needed the family sized bag of Sour Patch Kids
When this giant comes running through the aisle next to you
You collide, and he’s at least nice enough to help you up, giving you his hand and making sure you’re stable again before tearing off in the opposite direction
He turns back almost as fast as he left, running up to you and staring into your eyes
“Will you cover me up with toilet paper?”
You stare at him in bewilderment. You were worried about meeting crazy people this late at night, but the seven foot tall kid your age was not the kind of evil you were picturing
“I’m sorry what?”
“The next aisle over is toilet paper and stuff and me and my friends are playing hide and seek. If I crawl on the shelf can you cover me back up?”
You stare for another moment, realizing how childish this is, but you quickly realize that you basically are children and say yes
You’ve barely hidden Riki from sight by the time another boy is racing past you, quickly double taking when he sees you standing there
You worry he’s got you figured out, you knew it was unrealistic for you to be thinking so hard about toilet paper brands, but the boy just stands next to you.
“Hi, I’m Jake”
“Yn” you respond, confused why he’s speaking to you if he didn’t know you helped his friend
It isn’t until a minute later when he asks for your number that you realize he was trying to flirt with you
Although it seems to be the same time Riki does, because suddenly there’s toilet paper flying off the shelves and he’s yelling at his hyung.
You try not to laugh at Jake’s squeal when Riki popped out, but soon they’re both running out of the aisle, Riki yelling back to you
“I’ll be back for your number, just give me one second to murder my hyung”

This Week in BL - I’m largely pleased with BL & pissed with Kpop
April 2023 Wk 3
Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. Organized by which ones (in each category) I’m enjoying most.
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Thai
Step By Step (Thai Tues WeTV & Gaga) ep 1 of 10 (MDL says 12, but I think it’s just 10) - Abused intern trope is a go! I wasn’t sure I would like the lead, but he’s totally adorable. Although (I gotta say it) who tf eats a croissant with a knife & fork? Also.. the main couple has good chemistry! Hallyfuckingluya! In fact, the quality of the acting and sound etc is generally superior to a normal pulp. It’s good! This is a good show? How exciting! 
Our Skyy 2 (PondPhuwin) eps 1-2 - Honestly, I was nervous to watch this but I liked it a lot! Doomed soulmates + paranormal time travel to fix the past. I’m happy for the outfits and the dancing (if not the singing). It’s not a bad premise and it’s nice to see GMMTV lean into its high production values for a change. I could’ve watched this as an actually full length BL. Gotta say, Puhwin’s English is so good and v west coast USA accent (international school kiddo got skillz). Meanwhile, loved seeing MarcPuwin again. My Gear & Your Gown disappointing us wasn't their fault. *Hilarious that Marc is side couple in 3 BLs airing simultaneously, that’s a record! (Waves at Marc X1.) I’ll be rating each of these installments separately, as I did the first time around. This one gets an 8/10 from me.
Bed Friend (Sat YT, GaGa & iQIYI uncut) ep 10fin - A very Check Out the series ending. Disastrous sun glasses. King being shy was adorable. Nevertheless I do think the final 2 eps felt a little tagged on and superfluous excess. Ultimately? This just wasn’t as good as the first 5 episodes set us up to hope for. Series review below.  
Pastsenger (Thai Weds Gaga) ep 7 of 12 eps - Cute confession and boyfriends phase. The bit with brothers’ boyfriends serving each other food was kinda charming. Could do without blushing maiden trope. But hey ho. (Waves at Marc X2.) 
A Boss and a Babe (Fri YouTube) ep 8 of 12 - Cute phi/nong convo and teasing, but this is largely boring. I do like that the conflict is all about business loyalty, cubical friendships, and coworker gossip. This is as it should be in an office romance. But I wish the characters were consistent.  
Tin Tam Jai (Tues Gaga & iQIYI) ep 9 of 12 - The boyfriends phase. I just know with this show that the moment it ends I’m going to entirely forget about it. It’s boring.  
Chains of Heart (Sat iQIYI) ep 10fin - What a waste. Seriously don’t bother. It seems to end unhappily, but maybe not, but also who tf cares? 3/10 Series review below, for my sins. (Waves at Marc X3.) 
Future (Thai Sun YouTube & Gaga) ep 5fin - It was Songkran so no new ep until tomorrow. May your New Year be blessed. 
The Promise (Thai Weds YT & WeTV) ep 7 of 10 - the put YT on a week delay off WeTV, so I will watch it next week. I have WeTV but I prefer YT. 
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
Unintentional Love Story (Korea Thurs iQIYI) 9-10 fin - Awe a crying kiss. My fav! This one was fine. Not a v good kiss but KBL has to bow to form on occasion. The sides didn’t get much of a resolution. (Although we know why.) It was a solid ending. Series review below. 
Our Dining Table AKA Bokura no Shokutaku (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 3 of 10 - this ep was a little slow for me, oh I know, that’s what this show is doing, but yeah. Still it’s soft and sweet and wonderful. Why are you not watching it? Go. Now. 
The Eighth Sense (Korea Weds Viki) eps 7-8 of 10 - Honestly? I checked out a bit this installment. Possibly because JaeWon checked out as well. I mean, I understand what the narrative is doing, portraying JW coping (badly) with loss and the complex knot of guilt, love, fear, lust, and shame. But I don’t really feel drawn into a romance when the main characters are separated for most of an hour. I do like JiHyun’s personality shift and aggressive stance on renewing the relationship. That’s fun to watch. And I do love his besties. Of course ep 8 ends with major heartbreak and pain. I expected nothing less from this show. Gotta admit I’m a little mad tho, I wanted it to EXCEED my expectations. 
My Story (Pinoy Sat YouTube) ep 2 of 10 - I don’t like one of the couples (not side dishes, this is a 50/50 split) but I weirdly like Sky’s new arc, even if he’s with someone new. 
Naked Dinner AKA Zenra Meshi (Japan Fri Gaga) ep 2 of 12 - it’s just so odd. I can’t believe THIS is the JBl we get 12 eps of. This one?  Japan, must you? (How many times a year do I type that phrase?)
Tumblr media
Finished this Week
Unintentional Love Story - A boy who just lost his job due to faked corruption charges accidentally discovers his ex-boss’s favorite artist, now a recluse. His ex-manager offers him his job back if he can convince the artist to rejoin society. Instead, they fall in love. Gongchan (maknae of B1A4) carried this show (which I don’t expect from the idol element). He was luminous with extraordinarily expressive eyes. That said, he had weak chemistry with his co-lead. But everything else was quietly queerly KBL pristine and beautifully executed, even the conflict. I’m not sure on rewatchability for me, and it didn’t whip me into a verbal frenzy the way some KBLs do but it’s still getting a solid 9/10 
Bed Friend - Office frienamies transition a flaming hot one night stand into a f-buddy relationship, that is essentially built on a puppy/cat dynamic (and kinks into it at one point). Our puppy is loyal, smitten, and protective with endlessly worshipful eyes, while our cat is snarky, prickly, and deeply damaged (ALL THE TRIGGERS). NetJames give lovely high-heat with excellent chemistry and tuned-in performances of surprising depth, unfortunately the story ultimately failed them. Had the show had the strength of its convictions and kept to a tighter, darker, harsher 8 eps it would have been the first high heat to earn 10/10 from me, but once they fussed with it, it dropped to a solid 8/10. Could have been great but they overworked it. Still if high heat is your thing, this one will not let you down. Full review here.
Chains of Heart - This was a terrible show, unbelievably confusing, badly subbed, with characters behaving illogically, nonsensically, and heartlessly. What’s worse? The leads had fantastic chemsitry, were willing to do high heat (and do it well) and were pretty! So they squandered a decent cast and some actual production money on a shoddy scrip and terrible directing - what a waste. Seriously, don’t bother. It maybe ends unhappily, maybe not, but you should neither care nor bother to find out. 3/10 
Tumblr media
It’s Airing But ...
Love Syndrome (Thai Sat WeTV) stopped at ep 2 of 12 - I’m just not into any aspect of it (except Lee Long Shi and I can watch him in Tin Tem Jai) - saving to binge if the end is solid.
Venus in the Sky (Sat YouTube) pilot/tester?) 0 of 10 - not entirely sure what’s up with this one distribution-wise, but the pilot was classic university-set pulp. I hope it happens because the leads are cute with good chemsitry and I thought it was fun. However, this pilot holds together as its own little short too.
Make a Wish (Thai Weds ?) stars Fluke Natouch (OhmFluke UWMA etc...) & Judo (The Miracle Of Teddy Bear) in a medical-fantasy. About a doctor who sees ghosts and a deity who resides in a Bodhi tree that earns merits whenever he fulfills a wish, based on a y-novel by Sammon (Manner of Death, Triage). Same as above.
Stormy Honeymoon (Vietnam) - 3rd in this series and the ULTIMATE in domesticity. New side couple is cute too. But I’m kinda over the leads at this point. (see comments)
Tumblr media
In Case You Missed It
BL Express has a post on upcoming GL. I don’t track this, but they do. 
I decided to hold off and binge Cafe in Love and Destiny Seeker. So I’ll be watching and reporting back after I’ve collected all the eps. I realized that I miss binging BL. That said I have been siting on To Sir, With Love forever. Not sure why I am so reluctant to dive into that one. 
[ Not into Kpop? Skip to “next week.”] 
Peak Time pretty much ended exactly as expected, which was also exactly how it started. Our BL boy Karem got booted for the grave sin of being a, ya know, 2nd gen idol dude bro. But it was the superior survival show. BLK made me cry, so did MASC for that matter. We have discussed this before, I am a sap. I look forward to seeing where Vanner go next. 
Boy’s Planet was ultimately disappointing. I watched some predictions about who Mnet actually wanted to win, and they were mostly correct. With the delightful upset of China scooping the #1 spot. (Delightful bc I am a chaos money who lives for politics fucking with soft power and watching China give the jaundice eye to S Korea for half a decade bc they Hallyued their way into winning the culture war using Kpop, and NOW China is doing what we all knew they would which is... infiltrate. Ultimately? Boy’s Planet was nothing more than an exercise in manipulative editing, they just accidentally manipulated the global vote into Zhang Hao winning. Not to slag off that baby boy’s serious cuteness - I genuinely thought he was great, actually. Frankly, I emerged cackling and mostly just v. disappointed in Pentagon fans. I think they deserve to lose their group for how little they supported Hui. Let’s be truthful? They are likely losing their group or Hui wouldn’t have been on the damn show in the first place. (Cube seems highly disinterested and their 7 year contracts are uppity up.) This is neither the first nor the most extreme version of me being disappointed by Kpop fans. There’s a reason I don’t participate in that fandom. 
In more relevant news to THIS fandom, JiWoong made it into ZB1, which means we will NOT see him or the Kissable Lips pair back on our screens anytime soon (if ever). 
RIP the pretty.... 
Tumblr media
Whatever, it is still the golden age of Korean BL. Our Dating Sim happened. We will all be fine. 
Next Week Looks Like This:
Tumblr media
Happy Merry Ending starts Weds April 26 on Gaga (with ep 2 the next day) 8 eps total. It looks cute: opposites attract, musicians, giving me Wish You vibes. It’s from the Our Dating Sim’s Kidari Studio. Adapted from the manhwa of the same title (해피메리엔딩) by dorae (도래).

Chapter 4: Do you want to ruin love with me?
Tumblr media
Monday February 7, 2002
A few weeks have passed in which Michael and (Y/N) have interacted more comfortably and become closer than at the beginning, of course, (Y/N) has not stopped being someone with a lot of energy when seeing new things, while the blond boy considers that little voice somewhat annoying, it is not because he dislikes it, rather he has not wanted to attract the attention of the Bullies, he always ends up in the direction or if there are blows included, he ends up suspended, and the scolding at home is not very pleasant So let's say, things have been tense there and Michael is breeding a little bit of negativity inside him, if it wasn't for (Y/N), he would have put his full attention on it with no distractions.
They were both in a small park after school, they both agreed not to go home so late and enjoy the afternoon —I'm telling you! In my country they don't celebrate February 14 as enthusiastically as they do here, and that's 1 week away—  (Y/N) was casually telling his friend about the upcoming date.
Michael shrugged indifferently, he's never had someone special to give something to, he was the outcast, he only had his mother but there was also a special date for that and certainly his older sister doesn't care —I'm not interested in those dates , they are for fools— The boy quietly put his hands in his pockets.
—Hey, it's not for fools, my mom says you should give something to someone in particular, it's not necessarily someone you like, tell me— She looked curiously with those big eyes and an impulsive question crossed her mind.
—Is there someone you love?— Myers abruptly raised an eyebrow at the girl's question, why did she suddenly change the subject? that girl... although he stopped for a moment and looked at her, what was that on her chest when he thought of...? The boy frantically shook his head before his cheeks betrayed him.
—Meh, I don't have, I can stand you, I don't want a headache with something silly— He said mockingly with a mischievous face, to which (Y/N) frowned and put his hands on his waist in a indignant gesture after Michael scoffed that she was a pain in the ass
—What do you mean!? You're the fool,— she said defensively as they began to run.
Michael couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction. He loved to make her angry just to see the funny faces he would make of her with her little face.
—Am I the fool?— You're the one who doesn't stop talking about cheesy things like Valentine's Day, — he replied sarcastically.
—It's not cheesy!— It's a special date to give something to someone you care about—replied (Y/N) frowning more.
—Yeah, sure, it's very important to silly girls like you,— Michael sneered, and before she could reply, he ran off laughing.
—Michael!— Come here!— she yelled (Y/N) and started running after him, both zigzagging between the trees of the park.
Michael turned from time to time to check that he was being followed and laugh more heartily. He was fascinated by the way they seemed to challenge and chase each other like two mischievous childhood friends.
Finally, tired of running, (Y/N) stopped and sat down on the grass to catch her breath. Michael returned and sat down next to her, a smirk still on his lips.
—You're a cheater,— she said (Y/N) giving him a small tap on her shoulder.
—You're a bad loser,— Michael replied, and they both burst out laughing, unable to maintain the angry facade any longer.
—Well, well, then... Shall we ruin that day? I mean... if that celebration is so silly for you— (Y/N) said amused, the boy's influence was slowly making her do more daring or unimaginable things for her Although she did not deny that this was more fun than following the orders of her parents or older brothers, she observed the amused face of the blond boy, he had a face of complicity.
—Wow, you're more evil than you look!— Michael said jokingly, but they both started walking home, Michael planned many ideas in which to prank others, things...somewhat creepy, but he wanted approval of (Y/N)
—Every day after class... we'll go to my room to plan to ruin that day, whether you like it or not, understood?— Myers suddenly said and with a happy smile, the little girl nodded.
—Hey, I was the one who suggested that, don't take all the credit— (Y/N) she said in protest, her leadership change annoyed her, but Myers ignored her
—Come on, my ideas are better, or did you want to do that with your scary baby ideas?— He annoyed her knowing her reaction
—I'm not a scared baby! I'm in the plan!— She said firmly as she hit his shoulder to show her strength, not because she was a girl was she going to back down from a challenge 
—But...— (Y/N) said suddenly —Let it be a secret… I don't want my family to find out, it could ruin things— The young woman mentioned when they reached the front of the Myers house
 —Calm down, crying baby, it will be our secret— He said, moving away from her, entering his house, listening the screams of the young
—I'm not a crybaby! I saved you from the bullies, Michael!— She said indignantly as she went to her own house, but inside she was happy. What does it matter if he wasn't interested in the 14th of February? After all, she will have a good time and finally she has a secret of friends, which made her feel excited.
She quickly got to her room after being stopped by her mother and doing the same routine as always. Maybe if she brought a couple of ideas tomorrow afternoon, they could be useful, after all, that's what friends do right? .
Meanwhile, Michael Myers saw his mother conversing on the phone with a man very sweetly ignoring the greeting he gave his mother, he frowned and ran quickly to his room, the gears began to work in his mind and he had planned some how many things, include guts and blood, maybe you would get it with some forest animals, or you can also cut some things up and wrap them in packages!, there are so many ideas that he immediately went to work more enthusiastically than before, Al finally he was not alone! there is someone else with whom you are encouraged to do these things. A little smile crossed his face when he thought of that “annoying” girl, at last he didn't feel alone at school...
Suddenly he heard a knock on the door of his room 
—Hey!, you look more enthusiastic, Mike, a declaration of love?— She was Michael's older sister, he frowned when he felt that she interrupted his thoughts
—Leave me alone!— Michael said angrily to his sister when he knocked on the door and she only answered him between laughs and jeers until he kicked her out of his room, going back to what he had, he focused again on his plans to ruin Valentine's Day.
He was excited that someone wanted to join in on his antics, especially (Y/N). Although he didn't like the kitsch of that day, he was intrigued to plan something together, it was the first time someone wanted to do something like that with him and they didn't accuse him with adults.
The next day, he waited for (Y/N) after school. She approached excitedly. —Hello Michael, I already have some ideas,— she said smiling. He nodded. —Let's go to my house, my mom is not here, she went out with another man— He said something annoyed, but he quickly recovered and they ran without rest.
Once in Michael's room, (Y/N) pulled out the ideas she had written down. He frowned as he read them and kept from rolling his eyes in annoyance. —They're too soft,— he complained. —I told you I have better plans.—
—I know, but… — (Y/N) hesitated. Michael was beginning to lose patience.
—Come on, trust me. We will ruin that day like never before— Michael said with a crooked smile that (Y/N) found a little scary. She nodded slowly.
Michael proceeded to explain her sadistic plans: wrapping nasty things as gifts, scattering red paint down the halls, even trapping animals to put in lockers. (Y/N) listened to him with wide eyes, those plans went beyond innocent pranks. But she had already agreed to join Michael, she didn't want to look like a coward, plus she has always been true to her promises, no matter what. She with false emotion she said: —I'm in, we'll make those plans.—
Michael smirked. Both shook hands sealing their alliance...

EPISODE 1
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
synopsis: the beginning of y/n's biggest kickoff role! paring: jujutsu kaisen actor au x y/n warnings: some cursing probably but either way, none notes: visuals are at the end of the episode and I recommend that you view them first
Tumblr media
10:00 AM - NEW YORK CITY - THE PLAZA HOTEL (NEW YORK STATE, USA)
y/n sat on a chair in her hotel room at the Plaza Hotel in New York City
She had just finished up her MIUMIU photo shoot the previous day and was relaxing, enjoying her Belgian Waffle from room service, and watching a new episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians as her phone rang
She reached over to the chair next to her and checked the screen to see her manager calling
She paused the TV as she answered the call
"Hello?" she said, food still in her mouth
"y/n? Hello! How are you?" her manager - Kyube - asked
"I'm doing fine...enjoying the hotels room service while I can..what's up?"
"Have you checked your email yet?"
"Uhh which one? I have like 7 different accounts" she picked a strawberry from her plate
"The one where your audition results come through? Did you check it?"
"I mean I would if I could find my computer"
"Just do it on your phone"
"But I'm on call with you?"
"I'll tell you then. The role you auditioned for in Jujutsu Kaisen?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
"You got the part! You'll need to head to JFK immediately. Like today. I already bought your plane tickets and your flight is red-eye. I know it's ten in the morning but since you tend to wait until the last minute to pack but please do it now"
"Twin you can drop this all on me at once"
"I just did! You'll need to leave by 8 or 9 so start getting ready by one in the afternoon. Your flight will take you to San Francisco for a layover and then over the Pacific to Japan"
"Ooookay..so 17 hours?" y/n said as she yanked her pink suitcases out of the closet
"That's right! Oh, and I'll be meeting you at the gate at SFO when you land"
"Okay, thanks for letting me know" y/n placed her Hermes shopping bags on the bed and began to take the boxes out leaving them unopened and carefully placing them in her suitcases
Tumblr media
9:00 PM - JOHN F. KENNEDY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - NEW YORK CITY (NEW YORK STATE, USA)
y/n waited by her gate after making it through the nightmare of security and baggage check
She tugged on her sweatshirt and sweatpants combo each with the Yankee logo. Naturally, she choose the most comfortable outfit for a 17 hour flight
Lowering her Yankees cap down on her head to avoid getting noticed as she ate her donuts from Dunkin'
"Gate 34, now boarding. Repeat: Gate 34, now boarding. Please proceed to Gate 34 should it be your designated gate" the announcement came from the loudspeaker and y/n wiped her mouth and threw out any trash in the nearby trashcan and she picked up her travel bag and walked to the gate
"Any passengers now boarding first class line up at the checkpoint. Repeat: Any passengers now boarding first class please line up at the checkpoint"
y/n moved over to the checkpoint and handed the flight attendant her boarding pass
The woman's eyes widened slightly as she saw who's name was on the boarding pass and y/n smiled slightly albeit awkwardly
"I'm a huge fan!" the woman whispered as she let y/n onto the plane
y/n quickly found her spot in first class and tossed her bag down and sunk into the plush chair as people began to board the plane
Before she fell asleep, a Twitter notification hit her phone but she was too lazy to check it, opting to sleep instead
Tumblr media Tumblr media
9:00 PM (WESTERN TIME) - SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - SAN FRANCISCO (CALIFORNIA, USA)
y/n yawened as she got off the plane and looked around for her manager
"She should be here..." y/n muttered under her breath "hmmm...ah! There she is"
Kyube was sitting to the side in the lounge area typing away at her computer which was covered in NewJeans and Twice stickers that y/n had given her
"Kyu!" y/n called out as she walked to her manager
Kyube looked up at the sound of the girls voice "y/n! Hi love, how are you?" Kyube stood up to hug the girl. y/n was shorter than Kyube...probably since Kyube never left the house without her heels
Her manager was very beautiful and a former actress, but a past accident didn't allow her to return to her career
"I'm good, how are you?" y/n looked up at Kyube
"I'm doing fine, honey. Are you hungry? Our flight for Japan leaves in about an hour and a half, would you like to go eat?"
"Yes please"
"Alright then"
Tumblr media
10:30 PM (WESTERN TIME) - SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - SAN FRANCISCO (CALIFORNIA, USA)
"Gate 5 now boarding. Repeat: Gate 5 is now boarding. Please proceed to Gate 5 should it be your designated gate"
y/n looked up from her finished plate as the announcement
"There we go!" Kyube stood up and took their plates to the counter
"On your feet, y/n. Time to go"
"Any passengers now boarding first class line up at the checkpoint. Repeat: Any passengers now boarding first class please line up at the checkpoint"
y/n walked to the checkpoint with her manager and Kyube handed in their boarding passes
They made their way into first class and y/n practically lunged for the comfortable seat, ready to sleep again
She put her headphones on and scrolled through the artists that she followed on Spotify to find one to fall asleep to
NOW PLAYING: ICHIKO AOBA ON SHUFFLE
She kept her eyes on the leaving city as they began to fly over the Pacific ocean
Tumblr media
2:30 PM (ASIA TIME) - HANEDA AIRPORT - HANEDAKUKO, OTA CITY, TOKYO METROPOLITAN PREFECTURE (JAPAN)
y/n woke up to someone gently patting her arm
"y/n? y/n the plane is landing...time to wake up" Kyube moved her hand to gently pat the girls hair
"mmmm..." y/n rubbed at her eyes as she slowly opened the window and squinted her eyes to adjust to the light
Below them, Japan was coming closer and closer to the plane as it began the descent
"What time is it?" she said groggily as the plane jolted from it's landing
"2:30 pm" Kyube said as the plane slowed to a stop and the post-flight announcement came onto the loudspeaker
"C'mon honey, time to go" Kyube held her hand out for y/n to take and y/n did so hauling herself to her feet
The duo walked out of the plane and into Haneda Airport
"Are you hungry? I want to get a coffee" Kyube said as they walked deeper into the airport
"Yeah can we go to Dunkin?" y/n looked up at her manager
"Sure, but we need to get our bags first"
"'Kay"
The duo went to the baggage claim carousels and y/n placed her hands on her knees staring intently at the suitcases went by. It was a little impossible to miss her pink suitcase among the darker colored suitcases but it never hurt to be careful
Once y/n's suitcases came down the carousel, she hauled them off albeit clumsy and helped Kyube get her suitcases which were way heaver and larger than y/n's
"What on Earth do you have in those?"
"Shoes"
"Good grief"
Once they got out of the baggage claim area, they made their way to the food court to buy coffee for Kyube and donuts for y/n
"Kyube pleeeeaaasseeee!!!! pleasepleasepleaseplease!"
"No, you are getting one donut and that's it. Donuts and Tanghulu isn't a meal. You want strawberries? We'll get you a fruit bowl, but no donuts and Tanghulu together"
"Please...? I promise I won't wander around unknown areas or talk to strangers again!"
"My words are final"
"Aww man. But I'll take you up on that fruit bowl"
Tumblr media
Kyube and y/n sat at a table in the food court. Kyube was working on y/n's upcoming schedule for and y/n was posting her dumb shit on twitter
y/n placed her phone down as she poked a piece of cantaloupe with her fork and looked to the side but she spotted two familiar people a few tables away
"Hey...Kyube?"
"Yes?"
"Who're they? They look familiar" y/n pointed a thumb to the somewhat familiar duo
Kyube looked in the direction that y/n was pointing in and squinted her eyes from behind her sharp rectangular glasses (the bayonetta glasses)
"Thats Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru...you've been in a movie with Geto once, you were young though"
"Huh...are they filming Jujutsu Kaisen too?"
"I can't tell you that"
y/n picked up her phone to scroll through twitter again and decided to eat her donut in three bites. Her eyebrows furrowed as she saw a tweet from a familiar name
Tumblr media
y/n snickered and looked over her shoulder at Gojo and Geto. The former had moved his sunglasses onto his forehead and was gaping at his phone
'pretend like you've got no idea' she mouthed to Geto who nodded
"y/n please do not cause problems" Kyube scolded
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Alright...y/n, we need to leave now to get to the hotel in time"
"Okay" y/n stood up and threw out the now empty cup that once held fruit and the bag from the donut
She followed Kyube out of the airport and passed the table that Gojo and Geto were out giving the duo a shit-eating grin
Gojo playfully stuck his toungue out at her and she returned the gesture in the same playful manner
"Come along y/n" Kyube beckoned the girl "Our car will be here shortly"
"Coming!"

COME UNDONE - WANDA MAXIMOFF X F!READER
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
Pairing: Wanda Maximoff x f! reader 
Summary: Wanda is a 32-year-old, a divorced mother who hasn’t opened herself up to the opportunity to love again. She met Y/N but the 7 year age difference made her feel guilty… until she end up being victim of Thanos’ snap while Y/N stayed. What if Wanda never joined the Avengers? Her parents left Sokovia when Wanda and Pietro were little, achieving the dream of living in USA.
part 1 - part 2 - part 3 & 4 - part 5  - part 6 -   part 7 - part 8 - part 9 - part 10 finale
Jules is portrayed by Adelaide Kane. Here. If you're a minor, gtfo.
ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ CHAPTER 8
ㅤㅤ
“I don’t want to walk away from you…”
ㅤㅤ
Those words echoed over and over in her mind for the rest of the week, and perhaps, a few more days. Wanda has been really charming and so damn lovely, she always had some adorable way of showing her interest. Chocolates, her favorite pastries or even some small flowers or food.
And although Y/N scolded herself telling herself that they should go slowly, that she still couldn't fully trust Wanda, that was starting to get really hard. ㅤㅤ Between slow and soft kisses, both lips met with a passion and need that was mutual, one couldn’t live without the other. A small sigh ended their closeness and forced them both to separate; the two women smiled and looked at each other with a devotion rarely seen.
ㅤㅤ
“Hi, gorgeous.” Y/N whispered, her voice so low that she feared would break the moment completely.
ㅤㅤ
“Hey.” Wanda answered in kind before stealing a short, soft kiss from her, pulling away from Y/N.
ㅤㅤ
Both were lying on that sofa, after a long shift in the hospital now they could finally be together for a while. Wanda settled on the brunette's chest, looking for closeness and warmth; she smiled hearing her girlfriend heartbeat quicken.
ㅤㅤ
“Your heart is beating…” the redhead muttered and smiled at Y/N's small giggle.
ㅤㅤ
“It would be weird if I didn't.” Y/N teased, narrowing her eyes at her.
ㅤㅤ
“You think you're very clever, uh.” Wanda groaned and then gently bit her skin as some sort of revenge. Seconds passed, it was quiet and cozy for a while until she spoke again. “How was work?”
ㅤㅤ
“It was okay, you know. Chaos is the usual.” The doctor rolled her eyes as she remembered how harsh  the shifts had been that week. Christmas was coming and people were going crazy.  “How about you, my love?”
ㅤㅤ
“Oh, everything has been fine. I've had a pretty quiet week, the bakery has the best sales…well, you know.” The Sokovian smiled slightly. “I have a great new client this week.”
ㅤㅤ
Y/N exclaimed happily: “That’s good!”
ㅤㅤ
“Yeah, so good!” Wanda said excitedly but then hesitated. “It's just... there's this huge event and... well, it's a good opportunity.”
ㅤㅤ
The brunette tilted her head, confused. That sounded pretty good, that was good news. Why did Wanda seem a little concerned about it?  “And that's bad because...?"
ㅤㅤ
Sighing deeply, Wanda sat down on the sofa next to Y/N and took her hand softly.  The feeling when they intertwined their fingers was magical.
ㅤㅤ
“Detka, I need to ask you something.”
ㅤㅤ
“Okay…” Y/N hesitated for a moment, maybe a bit worried. “Tell me.”
ㅤㅤ
“This is going to sound weird to you, but…” The Sokovian bit her lower lip.
ㅤㅤ
“My love, you're scaring me. Tell me.” This time, the doctor tried to calm down and smiled.
ㅤㅤ
“Okay, okay. What I wanted to say is that I wanted to invite you to that event. You see, this weekend there's a … A high school reunion kinda thing. I know, it sounds stupid…” Wanda wrinkled her nose at her, somewhat embarrassed that Y/N was going to refuse outright or worse, laugh at her for how stupid it sounded. “It's all thanks to the Blip, you know, it made people get kind of... sentimental and melancholic, and well. Natasha will also go, since we studied together in high school, they invited us and they also offered me to do the catering for the event but…”
ㅤㅤ
“But…?” Y/N arched a curious eyebrow.
ㅤㅤ
“I wanted to know if you wanted to be my date that night.” The Sokovian blurted out quickly, praying her cheeks weren't as red as she felt.
ㅤㅤ
“Oh, well, wow…” That was unexpected. Quite adorable perhaps but she definitely hadn't seen it coming.
ㅤㅤ
Wanda noticed the surprise on the woman's face so she added between stammers: “It's something you didn't expect, I know.”
“Indeed.”
ㅤㅤ
“I know it's really silly, I wasn't going to go but Natasha insisted and said it would be good for the business.”
ㅤㅤ
“And you want me to go with you… as your date.”
ㅤㅤ
“Yes…” Wanda nodded. “Am I asking too much, detka? Sorry, maybe this is too rushed and… I know things between us were going to be slow... Just-”
ㅤㅤ
“No! No... it's just surprising, in a good way.” Y/N She dropped the confused look and smiled. “It makes me happy that… they will see us together. But of course, I'll go with you.”
ㅤㅤ
“You will?”
ㅤㅤ
“Hell yes. But now come here, you owe me something…” Y/N nodded tenderly and leaned down to kiss her beloved's lips, pushing her to fall together on that sofa, Wanda burst out laughing.
Tumblr media
“Okay. That’s it.” Y/N nodded quickly and looked at herself one more time in the mirror before turning around and looking at her friends. “So? How do I look?”
ㅤㅤ
Kate and Yelena were lying on the brunette's sofa, while Jules watched her sitting across from them. Y/N she wore a light-colored shirt, a black suit, pants that fit perfectly to her body. Her hair was loose, brushed to one side.
ㅤㅤ
“Amazing.” Kate said, nodding quickly.  “You’re gonna slay tonight.”
ㅤㅤ
“Iconic.” Jules added, holding up her thumbs. “That suit is smoking hot, and the shirt helps your jawline look sharper.”
Y/N nodded and then looked at Yelena who nodded and winked at her.
ㅤㅤ
“You look really good. Not as good as me but… yeah.” The blonde said with her thick accent.
ㅤㅤ
Y/N allowed herself to smile widely, knowing that if her friends gave her the ‘go-ahead’, everything would be fine.
ㅤㅤ
“Perfect. I wouldn't want to embarrass myself or make Wanda feel uncomfortable around me.”
ㅤㅤ
“Oh, come on. You look amazing… She will be happy to see you there.” Kate assured with a cute and sincere smile. Y/N came over to leave a kiss on her and Yelena's cheeks and take the keys from her once she was ready to leave.
ㅤㅤ
“Are you coming with us?” She asked Jules, who was looking out the window somewhat curiously.
ㅤㅤ
The girl shook her head, hugging her handbag. She was wearing an elegant black dress, looked really beautiful. “Don't worry. Natasha will pick me up in half an hour.”
ㅤㅤ
Y/N nodded and then looked at Yelena to mess with her. “And you are okay with that?”
ㅤㅤ
“What can I do?” Yelena shrugged. “My sister decided to keep this puppy.”
ㅤㅤ
“Hey!”
ㅤㅤ
“Okay, girls. I’ve to go.” Y/N sighed deeply, gathering the necessary courage. “I'll see you later, wish me luck!”
ㅤㅤ
It doesn't take me more than twenty minutes to get to Wanda's house. Twenty minutes where she checked herself in the rearview mirror, making sure she looked good enough to surprise Wanda. She felt like a teenager in love, looking for her girlfriend on their first date.    This was one of the real dates the two of them had since when they started seeing each other, well, Wanda completely avoided people seeing them together.
ㅤㅤ
Y/N got out of her car and walked down that well-known path, carrying a small bouquet of daisies in her hands. Teenage much, but according to Kate, she had to 'woo' her enough if she wanted to do things 'right' this time.
ㅤㅤ
Breathing deeply, knocked on the door, and a few seconds later Wanda opened it. Oh, that beautiful smile. The brunette's heart skipped a beat. That smile could rock her world completely.
ㅤㅤ
Wanda wore a beautiful burgundy dress with a neckline that could take any living thing's breath away. A pretty necklace with a red stone laying on her chest.
ㅤㅤ
“Oh my fucking goddess! You look so damn beautiful.” Y/N gasped making the smile on Wanda's lips to widen.
ㅤㅤ
“Thank you.” The Sokovian bit her lower lip  a bit flirtatious. She took Y/N's jacket and pulled her close, so close that she could smell that sweet perfume. “You look lovely too, detka.”
ㅤㅤ
The distance between the two ended when Y/N leaned in to kiss those soft lips.
ㅤㅤ
“Are you sure we should go?” Y/N whispered mischievously, with cute small kisses on her beloved's lips, cheek and jaw.
ㅤㅤ
“I would love to stay with you... but we can’t. Just let me take my purse and we can go…” Wanda mumbled under her breath, pulling away very much against her will.
ㅤㅤ
They both left together on Y/N's car, straight for the Westview High School gymwhere that event was taking place. Feeling as if they were two teenagers, walking together towards the entrance under the cold starry night. You could hear the music that came from the place, a kind of mix of the 90s and 2000s.
ㅤㅤ
“Are you sure you wanna do this?” Y/N asked as they both stopped at the gym entrance.
In response, Wanda took her hand and intertwining fingers together, watching her with a look Y/N hadn't seen before. She felt loved. The redhead was sure, without a doubt, that she wanted Y/N in her life.
ㅤㅤ
"Yes, I’m sure. Do you want to do it?”
Y/N smiled. Maybe now things were going to be really different.
ㅤㅤ
“With you… always.”
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤ
As soon as they arrived, they found a fairly nice environment. Many people who were there recognized Wanda, greeting her kindly. Y/N was not going to deny that at times she felt a little out of place, somewhat anxious due to the look of people she didn't even know but everything vanished when she felt Wanda's warm hand taking hers.
ㅤㅤ
And to the surprise of both, that was one of the best nights of their lives. The two of them danced together, laughed together, kissed like it was the last night, and devoured delicious snacks before meeting Natasha and Jules, who also seemed to be having a good time.
ㅤㅤ
“How's it going?” Y/N asked approaching Wanda to be able to dance closer, holding two drinks for both.
ㅤㅤ
“Perfect.” The redhead took her drink, it tasted really delicious. Wrapping her arms around the brunette's waist and moved slowly to the music. She was carried away by the pleasant sensation that ran through her.  “I love that you're here.”
ㅤㅤ
“I love being here with you.” That came out of Y/N’s lips like a small sigh, she still couldn't believe what she was experiencing.
ㅤㅤ
Six years ago, Wanda would have completely refused to be seen with her in such an intimate way. Now, she seemed fascinated that everyone knew how crazy she was about Y/N. And that, that made Y/N fall in love even more.
Y/N leaned in and ended the distance, ready to feel her lips when a girl approached them, somewhat embarrassed.
ㅤㅤ
“Wanda.” She said something regretful of breaking up with such a beautiful moment. “I'm so sorry to bother you, it's just that we have a problem with the snacks, in the kitchen and- and I thought maybe you could save me. Please?”
ㅤㅤ
Monica Rambeau asked her with irresistible pleading eyes. The Sokovian sighed, then nodded, giving her the kindest smile ever.
ㅤㅤ
“Of course, Mon.”
ㅤㅤ
“Hello, by the way. I'm Monica.” The woman smiled happily and shook her hand with Y/N's. She looked like a kind and simple woman.
ㅤㅤ
“Y/N, I'm sorry. This is Monica, my sister-in-law.” Wanda watched them tenderly. “Monica, this is Y/N. My girlfriend."
ㅤㅤ
Her girlfriend. Y/N inhaled deeply, filling her chest with pride and happiness. If she had been told five years ago that Wanda was going to introduce her that way, she would never have believed it.
ㅤㅤ
“Wanda told me a lot about you, Y/N.” Monica said mischievously.
ㅤㅤ
“Same about you…” Y/N smiled, noticing how Wanda just rolled her eyes slightly blushing. “I hope they were good things too.”
ㅤㅤ
“Very good.” she clarified. Although Monica seemed like a pretty friendly and fun woman, Y/N felt some regret seeing her leave her in a hurry, taking the love of her life with her. Maybe later they could talk more.
ㅤㅤ
“I'll be back soon, detka, behave yourself." whispered the Sokovian between kisses before pulling away from Y/N.
ㅤㅤ
Y/N watched Wanda walk away from her and sighed heavily as Pat Benatar's 'Love is a Battlefield' played in the background. She felt in a kind of happy limbo, how could everything be going so well? Wanda was being so cute and charming,  introduced her to society as her girlfriend. Everything was too good to be true lately.
ㅤㅤ
Y/N turned around and decided to walk around that place, even encouraging herself to try other sandwiches at the catering table. But what caught her attention was seeing her friend, sitting in one of the chairs, somewhat pensive and lonely, devouring some sandwiches on her own. She walked over and stood next to Jules for a moment until the girl noticed her presence.
ㅤㅤ
“Hey, Y/N/N. How’s everything? Enjoying the free food?”
ㅤㅤ
“Bit of everything..." The brunette smiled inviting Jules to walk beside her, leaving those lonely seats behind her. “What's going on? Why are you here so alone? Is everything okay with Nat?”
ㅤㅤ
“Oh no. No, everything is perfect. Why?” Jules tried to fake it but it was impossible, Y/N arched an eyebrow and the girl knew there was no point in pretending. Jules sighed in defeat. “I just needed to breathe for a moment, get away from… people for a moment.”
ㅤㅤ
“You know you can be honest with me without being afraid of being judged.” Y/N simply walked over to the nearest waiter and snatched two beers, sharing one with her friend. Noticing Y/N's look, Jules decided to be honest with her and with herself:
ㅤㅤ
“It seems that Captain Carter is here too, she and Natasha’s team helped to dismantle a mafia network and stuff I don't know, and everyone is congratulating them on that. Her and Nat.” Jules winced and looked down, a little embarrassed.
ㅤㅤ
“And that made you grumpy and gobble up all these sandwiches by yourself?" Y/N drank some of her beer.
ㅤㅤ
“It's just…” She sighed, totally defeated, ashamed to expose what she felt. “I’m just…me.”
ㅤㅤ
Y/N raised an eyebrow. “Yeah, you…”
“No, what I mean is…” Jules sighed and shook her head. She stopped and looked at her silky hair, that wonderful bearing of the Captain with her sparkling suit and her many medals. “I'm not Captain Carter, look at her. She’s wonderful, she’s strong, she’s beautiful and kind. She has a lot of experience, she is wise. Damn, anyone would want to be with her. I don't deny that even I would, if I weren't in love!”
ㅤㅤ
Y/N smiled slightly, understanding the situation.
ㅤㅤ
“And I am me.” Jules shrugged. “Why would Nat want to be with me? I'm just a human, with a complicated work schedule and even more complicated dreams. I'm not over there saving the world.”
ㅤㅤ
Y/N she tilted her head, noticing how fear and insecurity took hold of her friend.
ㅤㅤ
“You are saving people. I met you a while ago and I can say that you strive every day to give your best. You will be an amazing doctor, and I am so proud of you.” Y/N finally said, in the most sincere way, feeling pride for that woman. “She's crazy about you, you know? I've been friends with Natasha for six years… I can tell.”
ㅤㅤ
Jules pursed her lips.  “You're just saying that to make me feel better.”
ㅤㅤ
“I'm serious, silly.”
ㅤㅤ
“You think?” Jules's hopeful eyes made Y/N smile tenderly.
ㅤㅤ
“I dont believe it, I know it. Now, come on... let's try to snoop around the place before our redheads come back.”
ㅤㅤ
“You're just trying to make me feel better... And you achieved it.” Jules and Y/N smiled at each other as they walked around the place. The dance floor remained somewhat empty, almost everyone was chatting, sharing drinks and eating.
ㅤㅤ
“It seems that since Wanda left, Vision started his life again. He now has a gorgeous wife and I think they're expeting a kid. Incredible, don't you think? Well, he's always been very handsome. That Eastern European girl was lucky.”
ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ
The laughter, the tone of the voice and the words of that woman called the attention of Y/N and Jules who stopped when they heard Wanda's name.
ㅤㅤ
Jules looked at her friend, who seemed somewhat serious. “Y/N?”
ㅤㅤ
“She looks a bit agitated tonight, don't you think? Wasn't she skinnier before? Do you remember her ‘emo’ days?” Another one of them commented in a mocking manner.
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ
“What do you think?” The blonde haired woman said as she played with a lock of her hair. “She must be furious, I heard she's still working at her cake shop or something.”
ㅤㅤ
“And it seems she's trying to feel better about herself by having an affair with a woman.” The dark-haired man added. “Can you believe it?”
ㅤㅤ
“Yes! I saw it, couldn't believe it! She was always a bit gay at school, you know?… It seemed like she had a crush on me. Ugh! I once caught her watching me…”
ㅤㅤ
“No way! She spent her time in the library. Creep attitudes...”
ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ
“Excuse me?” Unable to control herself and knowing that she risked making a rather awkward scene, Y/N approached said group with some annoyance. “What did you said?”
Jules couldn't stop her, and the truth is she wouldn't have either. She had every reason to be upset.
ㅤㅤ
“Y/N, right?” Said the blonde, who introduced herself as Sydney. Her golden silk dress and shoes indicated that she had spent quite a bit of money on them. “You are the new…”
ㅤㅤ
“Wanda's girlfriend?” Y/N finished the sentence, arching an eyebrow. “Yeah, it's me.”
ㅤㅤ
Y/N felt the gaze of those people analyzing every part of her, from the color of her hair to the clothes she was wearing. She didn't even need to have a power to read minds, she knew exactly what they were thinking.
ㅤㅤ
“Surely you must be feeling a bit pressured. Did you know that the Homecoming and Prom queen and king were Wanda and Vision?” The dark-haired man -who was apparently called Bartholomew- told her with an ironic and sly voice. “I mean…Vision has a privileged place in the Stark offices. What are you doing for living, Y/N?”
ㅤㅤ
The man exchanged an amused look with her friend. Y/N wanted with all her might to erase that smile with one blow, even Jules could see it, so she put her hand on the doctor's shoulder to calm her down.
ㅤㅤ
“It doesn’t bother me at all.” The brunette said, she trule wanted to devour that man like a beast, kick his ass so bad, but she just smiled, returning the same false and ironic smile. She was going to play her game and beat them on her own ground. “I'm a doctor, and I've been offered a great position as Surgeon in Chief at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, although I don't know whether to take it yet. I have a job that makes me very happy, saves lives and my pocket fills with money every day.”
ㅤㅤ
She glanced at Jules who smiled somewhat proudly, and then returned her gaze to both subjects who seemed somewhat uncomfortable. Clearly, they had been totally humiliated by someone that they did not think would destroy them.
ㅤㅤ
“Excuse me, what was your name? Oh… I don't remember.” Y/N she asked her narrowing her eyes at the blonde one, 'Sydney'. "Oh yeah. Sydney. What’s your job?”
ㅤㅤ
The blonde was about to start when Y/N interrupted her. “Yeah, don’t worry. I already remembered, you spent half an hour talking about how your father owned I don't know what company.” Y/N smiled widely, noticing how Jules bit her bottom lip. “Parasite life must be good, right?”
ㅤㅤ
“Excuse you?” Sydney seemed quite offended, but she did nothing but stir uncomfortably at the laughter of her own 'friend'.
ㅤㅤ
“Oh, and you don't get me started.” Now Y/N shot directly at Bartholomew. “Your name was Bartholomew? Oh, I almost called you 'Taenia' ‘cause you really are the spitting image of a parasite. Just because your dad knows someone that knows someone...”
ㅤㅤ
The faces of both reflected a shock worthy of a deer seeing the lights of a car. They didn't even know what to answer, especially when Jules giggled a little but stopped, biting her lips again.
ㅤㅤ
“But the thing is, Wanda doesn't need Vision, or me, or anyone else to be successful. FYI she has the best bakery in the city.” Y/N felt enormous pride just remembering all the proposals the redhead had lately to extend her business. “And she's thinking of opening other branches and expanding across the country, that's how well she's doing.”
ㅤㅤ
She didn't say anything else, just turned around leaving them completely speechless. Some people next to her just smiled at her and nodded, apparently Y/N wasn't the only one tired of their stupid comments.
ㅤㅤ
Jules just gave them a smirk and approached her friend, walking beside her. “Roasted.  But you know for sure that guy didn't get the 'taenia' thing, right?” She murmured.
ㅤㅤ
"I know, but in my mind it sounded good." Y/N she smiled proudly as they walked away from that group of people together. “Okay, I have to go find Wanda. She will surely want to know this. I hope she doesn't kill me.”
ㅤㅤ
“Good luck with that.” Jules whispered before taking a sip of her drink, watching as Natasha approached her with a giant smile. She couldn't help but whisper to herself: “Fuck… I'm in love.”
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤ
“Okay, everything is perfect! I think we can work it out.” Although Wanda looked a bit thoughtful, the redhead ended up removing the sandwiches that had burned in the oven and took some vegetables.
ㅤㅤ
“We've got some grilled chicken, cream cheese, beef, some vegetables, mushrooms…” Wanda murmured to her as she walked over to the kitchen and pointed to some items. “We can make little cold sandwiches. Some Deep fried Ham and Cheese squares…”
ㅤㅤ
Monica and the other chefs nodded in agreement. They all had a mission to solve that mishap they had with all the food that had gone bad.
ㅤㅤ
“You…are…the best.” Monica whispered to her sister-in-law as she passed carrying some buns fresh from the oven.
ㅤㅤ
“I know, I am your hero. ” Wanda smiled proudly taking a freshly made bun to sniff it, she definitely felt like something divine. Wanda and Monica saw to it that the new dishes were out on time, fast enough for Wanda to get back with her love on the dance floor.
Monica practically pushed Wanda out of the kitchen.
ㅤㅤ
“Okay, I'll go back to my girl. Anything you need…” She turned around but Monica grabbed her shoulders.
“Wanda, go. Really, everything it’s fine.” With a small kiss on the cheek, the brunette managed to calm her sister-in-law. “Enjoy a bit and have fun!”
ㅤㅤ
Nodding, the sokovian looked at herself in the nearby mirror before walking out of it but the door opened in front of her, revealing a male figure she hadn't expected to see.
ㅤㅤ
The voices in that kitchen were silent for a moment, discomfort and tension could be felt in the air.
ㅤㅤ
“Hello, Wanda.” That deep voice and that british accent so distinctive of him.
ㅤㅤ
“Vision.”
ㅤㅤ
The blonde was in front of her, wearing an elegant gray suit, which in its front pocket was adorned with a carnation.
ㅤㅤ
“Would you give me a few minutes to talk? Please.” The man asked kindly.
ㅤㅤ
To Wanda’s surprise, who still seemed shocked to see him in that place, she only nodded her head and then looked at Monica who told her 'go easy'. Of course, neither Monica nor Pietro were Vision's biggest fans, but he was the father of her children.
ㅤㅤ
They both left the kitchen to go to one of the private gardens of the place, luckily for both of them it was empty and nobody would be able to interrupt them.
ㅤㅤ
“Is something wrong with the kids?” Wanda asked frowning, the fear grew in her exponentially. “I thought they were with Cassie.”
ㅤㅤ
“Oh no. They are perfectly fine.” The man clarified trying to calm her down. “Miss Lang was going to drop them off with Yelena and Kate before midnight.”
ㅤㅤ
Wanda sighed deeply, feeling her sudden calm, closing her eyes for a few seconds. Her mind led her to think the worst.
ㅤㅤ
“I thought something happened.” But after that moment where her soul had returned to her body, the confusion took place. “So… what do you want to talk about?”
ㅤㅤ
“Oh, I just wanted to be able to chat with you for a bit without so many people around us.” Vision smiled charmingly, or at least that's what he thought.
ㅤㅤ
Feeling great discomfort, she finally spoke: “Vision…”
ㅤㅤ
“I've seen you with that dark-haired girl.” Vision tried to be as kind as he could. “She seems to be lovely.”
ㅤㅤ
“Oh, she is…” For the first time in all that time, Wanda genuinely smiled. Just thinking about her... In the time they tried to be together, Y/N completely changed her life. "She's truly amazing. She makes me happy.”
ㅤㅤ
“Glad to hear that.”
ㅤㅤ
The silence became awkward.
ㅤㅤ
"You look beautiful tonight.”
ㅤㅤ
“Thank you.” Wanda looked at herself for a moment. “I tried to do my best to look good even though almost everything goes to hell in the kitchen.”
ㅤㅤ
“This treats me so many memories. Do you remember our graduation party?” The blond looked around with some nostalgia and smiled widely. “We were elected King and Queen of the Prom.”
ㅤㅤ
“Yeah, I remember that night very well. Especially Natasha getting drunk and throwing up behind the bleachers, as well as seeing her make out with Jennifer Walters. She didn't know that she was Bruce's cousin.” Wanda giggled, shaking her head.
ㅤㅤ
Vision nodded and they both shared a good time in silence, remembering stuff from so many years ago.
ㅤㅤ
“Wanda…” He finally broke that silence. “Lately, I've noticed something… I've been thinking about you.”
ㅤㅤ
Oh no. Here we go. Not again.
Wanda felt an enormous dejavu envelope her again, and far from feeling happy about what Vision was sure to say, she felt a deep fear. A paralyzing fear that everything she was living recently would break, those voices that whispered to her every night 'everything is going to hell' were now being right.
ㅤㅤ
Not again.
ㅤㅤ
“Vision.” Wanda shook her head, ready to leave. “Please don't start this nonsense.”
ㅤㅤ
“It's not nonsense, but I know you love me, Wanda.”  He followed her. “Before you disappeared, you wanted to come back to me.”
ㅤㅤ
“Yes, I wanted that.” Vision took a step towards her, facing each other. That height difference between the two had always been charming to Wanda. Now, it was nothing but…intimidating. “And it was a big mistake, because I lost one of the most important person in my life. Six years.”
ㅤㅤ
Wanda fixed her gaze on Vision's blue eyes. So different from Y/N's, so much so that she felt cold when she saw them. So different from the heat she felt years ago.
ㅤㅤ
“And now you are married again, and I have a new opportunity with the person I love and hurt for a long time. I respect her enough to stop you right here.” Wanda raised her hand, stopping the man from advancing any further. “Don't you think you owe your new wife the same?”
ㅤㅤ
She seemed determined enough. Wanda wasn't going to let something break her future with Y/N ​​again.
ㅤㅤ
“You cannot deny that there was always a very strong connection between us.”
ㅤㅤ
Wanda paused for a moment and sighed. “You're right... There was a great connection.” She paused before finishing that sentence. “There was… when we were teenagers.”
ㅤㅤ
Surprise could be seen on Vision's face, how could this happen? He had always had a kind of charm to attract Wanda, they had always been made for each other.
Losing her because of her snap was tragic, but he decided to move on with her life. How come she didn't want him anymore?
ㅤㅤ
“Are you serious?”
ㅤㅤ
“What we had no longer exists, Vision.” Wanda said determinedly, and had to admit that she was happy to do so. Something in her encouraged her to defend with tooth and nail what she now had with Y/N. The one, the woman she loves. “The only connection you and I have is our children. You’re the father of the twins and you will always be someone in my life…”
ㅤㅤ
The redhead nodded and she clutched her small purse, walking towards the door, she turned once to see him one last time:
ㅤㅤ
“But no more than that.”
ㅤㅤ
“I see.” Gathering the last of his dignity, Vision nodded and walked to the door, taking the initiative. “Have a good night, Wanda.”
ㅤㅤ
The blonde man opened the door and by surprise, he ran into the person he least expected to see.
Y/N seemed surprised to see him there, she could see it on her face when she saw Vision and Wanda in the same room.
ㅤㅤ
“Miss Y/L/N. What a pleasant surprise.” The man said with a falsely kind smile before leaving. “I'd l to talk to you but I have to go. Have a good night.”
ㅤㅤ
Vision walked out of that garden, finally leaving Y/N and Wanda alone. Wanda seemed worried, approaching her girlfriend somewhat hesitantly.
ㅤㅤ
“Y/N…” She started hoping Y/N didn't misunderstand the whole situation. The redhead hugged her around her waist, waiting to be received.
ㅤㅤ
“Wands… Is everything alright?”
ㅤㅤ
“Now it is.” She inhaled the brunette's perfume and closed her eyes for a few seconds, allowing herself to relax. “Though we should get back to the party. Natasha must be looking for us…”
ㅤㅤ
Y/N allowed herself to enjoy the moment, wrapping Wanda in her arms before finally letting go of what she had inside her:
ㅤㅤ
“I saw you both.” Y/N said, noticing how Wanda's body tensed. Her redhead moved away enough to see Y/N.
ㅤㅤ
“I heard that he wanted to get back together with you, again.” Y/N said pouting her lips.
ㅤㅤ
She felt a bit uncomfortable, of course she was, but even if Y/N didn't want to admit it... all that talk had awakened endless fears and voices inside her screamed loudly.
ㅤㅤ
“Y/N, listen to me, it's not…” Wanda began, ready to swing a sword and fight. Willing to explain as many times as necessary that it wasn't what she thought, but Y/N didn't even let her finish.
ㅤㅤ
The taller woman leaned down to kiss Wanda's lips, a slow kiss, passionate, needy but full of love. Y/N wrapped arms around Wanda's waist with a love, a devotion uniquely strong enough to show her that she wasn't going to let her go.
ㅤㅤ
Wanda's trembling hands returned to Y/N's body in a somewhat doubtful way, unable to fully understand what was happening until her mind decided to disconnect and just enjoy that kiss.
ㅤㅤ
After that passionate kiss, Y/N pressed her forehead against Wanda's. Even her eyes remained closed, enjoying the moment. “I know.”
ㅤㅤ
“You do?” Wanda asked confused and somewhat stunned by that kiss.
ㅤㅤ
“I heard you when I came looking for you.”
ㅤㅤ
“Did you hear it ALL?” Wanda smiled mischievously.
ㅤㅤ
Her heart skipped a beat when she finally saw Y/N's eyes, looking those eyes she loved to lose herself in.
ㅤㅤ
“I love you.” Y/N finally confessed, smiling as she heard herself say those words.
ㅤㅤ
She loved her, of course she loved her. Y/N had loved her for six years, ever since that day she came to Natasha's house and met Wanda, babbling like a teenager in love.
Y/N loved her when they had a secret relationship.
Y/N loved her when she lost her for six years. Six years where she didn't stop missing Wanda, where every day she dreamed her over and over again, finally meeting again. Where she visited her favorite places, or where she bought Wanda’s  favorite flowers to the mural for the fallen in the Snap.
ㅤㅤ
Y/N loved her now, when she did nothing but make her feel happy.
Wanda looked shocked, her lips moved for a moment but no sound came from them. She didn't even know how to speak, even lost the ability to breathe. At least that pounding heart reminded her that she was still alive.
ㅤㅤ
Y/N was about to ask if that was okay, when she just  saw the smile on Wanda's lips. Those lovely huge eyes were getting small, her teeth white as pearls.
And now, her heart was the one that left her chest to run to Wanda and give itself forever.
ㅤㅤ
“I love you too.” The Sokovian said, completely lost in Y/N's gaze. And now, who felt like the luckiest woman in the world, was Wanda.
ㅤㅤ
“Do you want to leave this place?” Wanda said again and bit her lower lip trying to hide that mischievous smile. “They will surely name some idiot as 'old prom queen'.  Who cares? Let's go now.”
ㅤㅤ
“I'd love to.” Y/N smiled before Wanda came closer to cup her face and kiss. A little kiss, short and in love. The redhead took Y/N's hand to leave that garden together.
ㅤㅤ
“Oh wait!” As if lightning struck her, Y/N remembered the reason why she was looking for Wanda. “But before we go there, I came to tell you something... I just came to tell you that you might get some ugly looks from a couple of people on the dance floor...”
ㅤㅤ
“What happened?” Wanda arched an eyebrow playfully.
ㅤㅤ
“The bottom line is that I defended your honor, but I humiliated two people out there.” She babbled so fast that the redhead couldn't fully understand what Y/N was referring to.
Y/N opened one of the doors to the living room for Wanda to go through but the redhead stopped.
ㅤㅤ
“What?”
ㅤㅤ
Y/N kissed Wanda's lips shutting her up and hugged her, pushing her out to the main room again. “So take a deep breath, let's dance and get out of here as soon as possible.”
ㅤㅤ
Wanda took a deep breath and continued walking beside her, intertwining her fingers and walking into a future together.
ㅤㅤ
And they spent much of the night having fun like never before among many friends who finally arrived at the party, including Bucky, Steve and of course Natasha and Jules who were already there. The sandwiches turned out perfect, and many of the people there had -with no bad intentions- approached Wanda to congratulate her on the incredible attention they received at her bakery.
ㅤㅤ
“Okay, hello everyone! How are you guys doing tonight?” Brunnhilde -or as many called her 'Valkyrie'- stopped the music and took the mic. Next to her was Pepper Pots, with an envelope in her hands. “It's time to finally crown our 'King' and 'Queen' tonight.”
ㅤㅤ
"Today we will be remembering and rewarding the longest lasting couple for all these years... We remember that the last time we saw them it was Wanda Maximoff and Jarvis 'Vision' Stark!” Pepper exclaimed pointing to both of them, everyone applauded kindly although Wanda didn't seem too happy with that exhibition. “Everyone left their vote for their favorites. We will reward the most important couple, and who have been together the longest! …It's time to see who they are.”
ㅤㅤ
“I hate this.” Wanda whispered, shaking her head. Natasha settled next to her, as did Y/N, ready to help her in any awkward situation that arose.
ㅤㅤ
“We got you.” Natasha whispered, Y/N and Jules nodded.
ㅤㅤ
“I'll kick everyone's ass if I have to.” Bucky muttered nodding his head.
ㅤㅤ
“Will they be the favs again tonight?” Valkyrie asked something playful as Pepper went about opening the envelope.
The sound of snare drums made everything feel even more awkward.
Once Pepper took that piece of paper out of the envelope, Wanda exhaled the air it contained. Was it necessary to suffer this kind of humiliation? Having to pose in front of her ex-husband, as if they were an exotic animal exhibited in the zoo for the amusement of people.
ㅤㅤ
“The most influential, most beautiful, AND MOST LASTING couple over the years are…” Pepper was silent for a few minutes until she exploded, revealing what everyone felt: “WANDA MAXIMOFF AND NATASHA ROMANOFF!”
ㅤㅤ
Everyone began to cheer and applaud, but the faces of Wanda and her group of friends contrasted with everything around her.
ㅤㅤ
“What?” Natasha and Wanda whispered at the same time, looking for the answer to that really bad joke.
ㅤㅤ
“Get up, come here, you idiots!” Valkyrie invited them with a smile, holding out her hand for them both to come up on stage.
ㅤㅤ
“Wanda and Natasha have been chosen by the majority of those present here. We've all known each other since we were crazy teenagers, but they've been together ever since. Being best friends all the way…” Pepper recounted as a few pictures flashed on the backstage screen, some pics of everyone in high school. Nat, Wanda, Pietro, Tony, Pepper, Scott and more… but all of them featured a sexy Russian redhead and a adorable brunette Sokovian. “A couple that has always been there for each other, a friendship that anyone would envy. Today, they are the queens of the party.”
ㅤㅤ
With tears in her eyes and a confused smile, Wanda went up to receive her crown along with Natasha who smiled sideways, a little uncomfortable but happy not to see her friend suffer.
ㅤㅤ
“Did you know something?” Wanda whispered to her as Pepper handed her the crown.
ㅤㅤ
“I didn’t know anything, you know how Tony is.” Natasha confessed sincerely, but happy to see how Vision made a slightly awkward face and moved away from the sight of the others.
ㅤㅤ
Wanda's green eyes searched desperately for her soulmate until finally finding her there.
Y/N looked at her with a huge smile and a twinkle in her eyes that showed how in love and happy she was for her. Clapping along the people around them.
Really proud of her.
Really in love with her.
Nothing could be better than all that.
Tumblr media
The kisses silenced the soft sighs of the Sokovian. Y/N's hands traveled down her body slowly, running over her as if it were the first time.
Wanda smiled as she felt her beloved's lips on her chest, taking the time to discover her as she settled into her huge bed. They had come from that party and neither of them had been able to detach themselves from the other.
ㅤㅤ
Finally having that naked woman in front of her, Y/N covered her boobs and belly with kisses. She stopped to play with her nipples for a moment, those soft pink nipples that hardened against her tongue.
Wanda's moans echoed in the room, especially when Y/N's mouth reached down to her belly, leaving little sensual bites as her hands worked to remove her panties. She looked so sexy.
ㅤㅤ
“You're a goddess...” The brunette whispered, looking at Wanda's naked body in front of her. Definitely a divine and unique image.
The way Y/N made her feel… She felt wanted and loved, needed like never before. Okay, yes. The same way she had when they met. Y/N was so desperate to have her.
ㅤㅤ
The way she devoured her wet sex, over and over again. Tearing out of her the most pleasurable and sincere moans that have ever come from her lips.
The Sokovian clutched at the sheets, looking down to meet the erotic moment. The woman she loved between her legs, eating her with a delicacy and at the same time a burning desire.
ㅤㅤ
They spent hours making love, hours where their bodies found each other. Where Y/N claimed Wanda's body in different ways, and Wanda returned her gesture making her feel as much pleasure and love as she had never felt before.
Sweating, rubbing their bodies, they both looked at each other and smiled once they ended in that intense orgasm together.
ㅤㅤ
Unlike other couples who perhaps felt the loss of desire over time, each time they made love it was even more passionate, it brought them even closer.
Her hearts were beating rapidly; The two women made themselves comfortable on the bed, snuggling under the covers.
ㅤㅤ
“I'll go get a glass of water.” Wanda pecked Y/N's lips, and got up from the bed, grabbing Y/N's oversized t-shirt. “Need something, detka?”
ㅤㅤ
“I don't need anything but you, my love.” Y/N smiled mischievously. “Come back soon.”
ㅤㅤ
“I don't plan to leave you for long.” Wanda smiled and winked at her, leaving the room soon.
ㅤㅤ
She went down to the kitchen quickly feeling that small but pleasant pain in her thighs, which made her smile as she poured herself a glass of water with ice.
The redhead drank a little of that refreshing liquid, suddenly the heat she felt increased. Wanda set the nearly empty glass aside, holding onto the table. That was weird...
A strange feeling ran through her body, like dizziness, but she had experienced dizziness and that wasn't… normal.
Her stomach lurched, Wanda tried to take a step and call out to Y/N but something made her stop, holding on to the counter to keep from falling.
ㅤㅤ
Her eyes fell on one of the empty coffee cups; an almost psychedelic swell moving from side to side like a raging ocean.
The lights began to flicker in a terrifying way, the pictures on the table turned to her in an accusing way. Had someone put something in her drink? Was she drugged? Was she freaking out?
ㅤㅤ
“Let me in.”
ㅤㅤ
She could have sworn she heard whispers in sokovian, as if it were some terrifying chant or spell. As if it was one of the stories that her cousin or her mother told them about the forest witches in Sokovia on Halloween. A woman's voice was haunting her and every step she took her voice grew louder. More terrifying.
ㅤㅤ
“Y/N!” Wanda tried to scream but it only came out as a whisper.
ㅤㅤ
Wanda inhaled deeply, but as she looked up at the window, a gasp escaped her lips.
In front of her, her own image but it looked more… terrifying. She was wearing a kind of headpiece and a burgundy leather suit, almost like the superheroes they saw on television.
Before she could say anything, a deep pain shot through her brain, a pain so deep that it drowned out her voice.
Wanda closed her eyes for a few seconds, trying to recover, but when she reopened her big green eyes, they now had a reddish glow.
The Scarlet Witch had taken control of that body. She watched herself in that ‘new’ body, it was different and at the same time not so much. At least here she was also redheaded.
ㅤㅤ
“This will work.”  whispered in a more thick accent. The scarlet witch turned around ready to leave that place and look for some way to get what she needed, when she saw that someone was watching her from the kitchen.
ㅤㅤ
"Hey, beautiful." Y/N smiled and walked over to her, at least she was dressed in one of her t-shirts and her boxers. “You took time so I decided to see if everything was okay here…”
ㅤㅤ
Y/N approached Wanda and hugged her, surprising the scarlet witch who opened her eyes wide. That look made Y/N worry, frowning at her.
ㅤㅤ
“My love, are you okay?” She inquired with concern, noticing that Wanda was quiet. Those lips trembled as she searched for something to say for a few seconds until ‘Wanda’ smiled.
ㅤㅤ
“I am okay, Detka. Just tired… How about we go to sleep instead?” Scarlet Witch licked her lips, hoping she would believe it or she would have to resort to something less pleasant.
ㅤㅤ
“Are you sure?” Y/N’s eyes narrowed.
ㅤㅤ
“So sure.” Scarlet Witch as ‘Wanda’ smiled charmingly, that should work. She took Y/N’s hand, ready to leave the kitchen. “Let’s go to bed.”
ㅤㅤ
And although something told her that not everything was okay, Y/N just nodded and walked with her to go to bed. Wanda was there telling her that everything was fine, she had to believe her. Right? She'd earned it.
Without knowing that her beloved was trapped in her own body and mind, hostage to a much more suffered and tormented version of herself.
Her variant.

Don't judge me, if there are mistakes I'm sorry! It's 6 am and I'm sleepy. I will only sleep 5 hours. Hope you enjoyed it. Yes, the Scarlet Witch is here but... what will happen?

✨15 QUESTIONS FOR 15 MUTUALS✨
Thanks for inquiring after me, @forestdeath1 and @nodirectionhome-ao3 x
1. ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
My middle name is my great-great grandparents' surname. They immigrated from Vevey, Vaud, Switzerland around 1850. My mum and one of my nieces also have it as a middle name, and if I ever have a kid -- regardless of gender -- they'll have it as well. I used to hate it when I was a kid because no one where I grew up could either spell or pronounce it correctly, but now I love it.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
I don't know exactly. I know I got drunk and listened to Beethoven a few weeks ago, so it was probably then. I find it cathartic, and will do it on occasion just for that release.
3. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
Nein.
4. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT?
I tend to be rather dry as opposed to sarcastic.
5. WHAT SPORTS HAVE YOU PLAYED/DO YOU PLAY?
I'm reading this as asking which sports I've done in an official competitive setting outside of gym class, in which case, I've competed in: dance (ballet and tap); gymnastics; softball; basketball; orienteering; swimming; marathoning (and other road races); and I shoot pool. I, um, love sports.
6. WHAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE?
Probably their hair and general countenance.
7. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?
¿Por qué no los dos?
I like scary movies, I enjoy happy endings, but what I really can't resist is a tragedy.
8. ANY SPECIAL TALENTS?
I can dislocate my shoulders and belch on command. I've got a pretty good head for facts and figures and do pretty well at trivia. I also do well at karaoke and drawing, and just generally being a consummate badass 😎.
9. WHERE WERE YOU BORN?
St Louis, Missouri, USA.
10. WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?
I love puzzles!! Crosswords are my favourite, and have been since my grandmother taught me how to do them when I was little, but I also love jigsaw puzzles, word puzzles, rebuses, cryptoquips, sudokus, etc. You name it, I probably want to solve it. I also love travelling (I pretty much just save my money to travel), drawing, reading, running my mouth, pool (like billiards, not like beach), and going to restaurants and playing critic (I do this with breweries as well, but not as often). I love trying new things. I'll get too bored otherwise. I also just like wandering around.
11. DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS?
Not currently. Fishies would be relaxing. If I ever move to a larger place where I'd have space for a decent-sized tank, I'd look into having fish again.
12. ALL-TIME FAVOURITE PIECE OF MEDIA?
I had some smartass answer in my head when I sat down to start answering these questions, but it's left me now. Trust me, it was terribly clever and witty.
13. FAVOURITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL?
History and Human Anatomy and Physiology. I also adored Geography in middle school (it wasn't offered as a class in my district past that point, which is a real shame).
14. WHAT IS YOUR DREAM JOB?
As many others have said, I do not dream of labour. I just want to explore and be paid for it, lol. I did just apply for a job with a major airline, so, hopefully, that pans out as the position pays well enough and there are travel perks.
Being a pathologist would be wicked cool and suit me as well. Medical mysteries are just another puzzle.
15. WHAT IS YOUR EYE COLOUR?
Tumblr media
I call it slate.
I'm just going to tag a few people, but if you want to do this as well, consider yourself tagged =D
@tvnacity @thelighthousestale @wendibird @rodiniaorzetalthepenquin @mariekavanagh @artemisia-black @avocado-moon @ladymalchav @casinthegarden @sl-walker @padfootswhiskers

Thanks for the tag, @foxymc!
1. Named after anyone? Technically? My parents mashed together the names of two religious figures to get my name.
2. Last time you cried? ...yesterday. I cry very easily, and I was sad that my plans to go to the mall today had fallen through, and also I was anxious about the concept of emotional vulnerability (separate from the mall thing).
3. Do you have kids? Nope. I do have a dog, though. He's a grumpy old man but he's also my baby son child whom I adore.
4. What sports do you play/have played? I played soccer when I was a lot younger, which was the only sport I ever really liked. I also played basketball in fifth grade, but I didn't like it very much. Haven't played any sports since.
5. do you use sarcasm? Mostly just to tell my family members that they are "so funny. hilarious. a comedian." when they make short jokes about me. I also say things along the lines of "this is a fantastic idea that can only end well for everyone involved." about my obviously bad ideas. Other than that, not a lot.
6. First thing you notice about people? Hair. There are people in my classes who I know nothing about other than the fact that I think they have very cool hair, and it makes them stick in my mind.
7. Eye colour? Blue.
8. scary movie or happy ending? Happy ending.
9. any talents? I get a lot of compliments on my writing. I also think I'm good at climbing, but only things that aren't strictly meant to be climbed. Oh, and I have a talent for naming things. (Plants, stuffed animals, figurines, drawings, etc. The exception to this is my ocs. For some reason, I can never give my ocs cool names. All of their names are boring.)
10. where were you born? USA.
11. hobbies? Writing! Almost any form of it! I love writing, and I don't really have a ton of other hobbies that I can remember.
12. any pets? The previously mentioned dog. He's a mix of several small and scruffy dog breeds, probably has some dachshund and yorkie, maybe schnauzer as well. He's a very good boy who has a lot of audacity sometimes. (He climbed onto my lap during dinner, sat there, waited until I was distracted, and calmly ate a slice of pizza.)
13. How tall are you? Not sure, but I have only one friend who is shorter than me that I know of. Also my siblings are on track to outgrow me, a dilemma which is the bane of my entire existence.
14. favourite subject? English/Composition. I love writing, and it's a class I'm good at.
15. dream job? Currently, some kind of library worker/assistant. I love the idea of helping people and being a part of all the resources that libraries offer, but I also don't really want all the pressure and time-consuming stuff that goes into a higher-level librarian job. I guess the actual dream would be working as a library volunteer, I've done that and absolutely loved it but that's not a paying job. I'd also like a job that allows me to write in my free time.
I'll tag @ashclouds366 :)

you know what bothers me most about jurassic world ?
the fact that the whole movie takes place over maybe one day.
like, you expect me to believe the mosasaurs-which were fed multiple times per day large quantities of shark meat-was just suddenly hungry enough to start eating literally anything? pterosaurs and people and then going to so far as to jump out of its pool to grab the indom rex???
The mosa was so overfed, that thing wouldn't have even felt hungry for days. And we see that Gray & Zach sat and saw a feeding before the park was evacuated. So, there's no way that thing was hungry enough. It was so used to being fed, that it wouldn't have gone out of it's way to hunt for at least two days. It was a wild animal, but it still had a feeding schedule, that it was used to. It did tricks. That thing was partially domesticated, it was used to loud noisy humans, like lions in a zoo. It wasn't gonna do shit that fast. Fuck off, movie.
which like, as an aside, is anyone else concerned for that thing's health? Someone did all the math already for how much fish they're feeding the great whites, and like--holy shit this park is expensive. but ignoring that, let's talk about big fishy things. Killer whales need to eat about 150 to 300 pounds of food per day. they weigh about 6,600 – 8,800 lbs. So, every day, they eat roughly 2.28%-3.4% of their weight. A mosasaurs weighed about 15 tons, so roughly they would need somewhere around 600 to 1,020 lbs every day. (Very very rough math here). (Note: Great whites eat . 5 to 3 percent of their body weight every day.) Great whites weigh about 1,500 – 2,400 lbs. They feed a whole great white shark to the mosasaurs?? WHICH, according to the Jurassic website, is EVERY TWO HOURS. HOW MUCH FOOD ARE THEY GIVING THIS THING??? HOW OVERWIGHT IS THE MOSA?? IS THE MOSA OKAY???? No, listen, listen--We don't know the park's operating hours. Basing this mostly on the USA but I assume it'll be similar from my quick look at disney worldwide. But most Zoos run on average from 9am - 4/5pm. Most amusement parks are 10:30 am - 8/9 pm. Disney, the most comparatively similar thing, runs from 9 am - 9pm. We can assume, Jurassic World runs from roughly 9 am, until sometime in the evening between 4-10pm. So, every two hours. Assuming they start on whole hours, not half, the earliest show time would be 10 am, 12 pm, 2 pm, 4 pm, 6 pm, 8 pm. (6 possible feeding times). If we assume, they start on half hours instead: 9:30 am. 11:30 am. 1:30 pm. 3:30 pm. 5:30 pm. 7:30 pm. 8:30 pm. (7 possible feeding times). 4-7 times a day they hold the mosa feeding time. Jurassic World is feeding Mosa somewhere between 6,000-9,600 lbs on the 4-feeding schedule. 10,500-16,800 lbs on the 7-feeding schedule. Which, if they require somewhere under 5% of their body weight per day like an orca, or upwards to 12% like a blue whale? (Which, for the record, is only 3600 lbs of a mosa). This thing is grossly overfed. It's getting fed around 20% to 56% of its body weight. There is no way in HELL I believe that the mosa would be willing to do EXTRA work to get food when it is literally so overweight, so overfed, that thing has not gone more than an hour without food in its entire life. Do NOT tell me that it's believable the mosa would go out of its way to eat the pterosaur or the indom.

man these kids. this week has been so insane.
(continued below the cut cus this will be way too long)
ok so for like. those of you who care to read to this and who may not know this. i’m working in a rural school in the usa and by nature of the area a lot of our kids are really traumatised. a lot don’t get enough to eat or sleep and we have a significant population living w.out water or electricity. and i’m workin with a lot of our little guys. most of the day i spend with k/1 so like 5-7 y/os and then at the end of the day i see some 3 and 5s so like 8 y/o then 10 y/os.
alright so with that out of the way. the attachment issues and trauma frequency being so high means these kids have a really tough time in school and a lot of behavioural/emotional issues. even our little guys; they’ll lash out a lot and hit us or cry and really don’t do so well sometimes. but omg. these sweet little babies. augh. they just need someone who gives a fuck about them and who is kind to them.
so, as some of u guys have seen, i have my own trauma lol and i know what its like to an extent– obviously my experience is my own and drastically different than theirs but. like. i know enough. so its really important to me to just be kind to these guys even when they’re being mean and acting out. and augh. the reactions i’ve gotten from it.
i’ve already been able to get a few kids down from like. full on sobbing snotty tears streaming down the face defcon 3 meltdowns. one of them (like a 7y/o) had been with another person for like 10-15 mins and when i traded places was still in full meltdown and i had her back in the classroom and tear free in like 5 minutes bc like. i just sat down with her on the floor and talked to her and more importantly fucking listened to her. and another boy (10 y/o) who had been so bad during this group work for the first half of the week. i talked to him and was like bud i really don’t want you to get in trouble that’s not at all my goal here but we have to turn some work in . and he was still refusing to participate but i noticed he was kind of looking on a few minutes later but didnt have a pencil. so i put my own pencil down on his paper without saying anything while still working with the other kids and he just put his head down for like 30s all emotional before picking it up and joining in and he’s been so much better for me now. like SOB.
but yesterday. oh man. YESTERDAY. (kdz has already had a detailed recount of this but.) i have two boys, one in kinder one in 1st grade, and they both have really tough home lives. and i don’t know what happened yesterday but both of them were like GLUED to me. i mean they were both having a hard time and at separate points during the day i had to take them aside and just be like. what’s goin on why are you acting like this today and both ended up basically crying and hugging me a bunch and then wouldn’t go anywhere without holding my hand. and now they’re my little buddies when i’m in their classroom. the little tiny one even said HE WAS SCARED WHEN I LEFT FOR A FEW MINUTES 😭😭😭 when i had come back he ran over and hugged me and was just like. stuck to me.
like augh. idk how to explain what it’s like working with them. it’s really special to be a safe person for them and to be able to help them be more comfortable at school and to help them learn but it’s so fucking heartbreaking man. i hate knowing these kids go home to all the shit they go through. and of course it can be really frustrating and hard when they are mean or act out but augh. man. these kids just need love. so bad. i genuinely care for them so much already . augh augh augh augh augh

Tell None
When I got a job at Tell Technologies I only knew about their innovations in Symbots. I suspected I would get to work on a technology that most people use. It’s something so massive, yet I would get to be a part of it. I never stopped to think why they chose me though. I’m not a particularly remarkable person.
As soon as they gave me the coordinate address for the location I would be working, I should have known I wasn’t getting a design job. Their main design campus was at 928, 0, 77 USA block 5. But the coordinate address they gave me was down at -700y. Coordinate addresses don’t go that low, they should end at -345. If they go any further down they’d be reaching into the mantle of the earth.
If my apartment wasn’t built 200 years ago, I might have a teleport module inside, but instead I’m forced to walk to the nearest port hub. Even though I left early the line was long. People seemed extra slow today especially the elderly, but that wasn’t unusual. I looked over to the out-chamber trying to recall if anyone had come through. No one likely had it was 7:45am in the middle of nowhere Wisconsin. Wisconsin was not the front of any major development.
I finally reached the in-chamber and stepped inside. The central plate depressed, and the machine began to whir. I typed in my information to the center console; one passenger, my tpID number via scan, and finally the coordinate address for the Tell Technologies building. I was nervous, this address didn’t seem right. To my surprise the machine recognized the location and primed itself. Priming gives a high tone that rises briefly in pitch. It always makes me a little anxious hearing that tone. I put my hand on the lever hesitated for a moment, but finally pulled it down. I could feel the vibration of the rings circling around me and then in just a few seconds there was a flash.
Standing now in an out chamber somewhere unfamiliar, my eyes adjusted from the teleporter’s flash. It was hot. So hot. Hotter than the summer sun in Arizona. I stepped out from the chamber. The small room around me was just big enough to fit the two teleport chambers. The walls and floor were made of a thick, dull gray, concrete like material.  Several feet away on the opposite wall two doorways sit open leading into a vast open room. The blinding orange glow made it impossible to see any details.
I was scheduled to start training at 8 so eager to make a good impression and be on time I pushed through the unknow doorway into the room. Immediately I was grabbed. Despite the heat a cold hand wrapped around my arm and dragged me along. I hand no sense for where I was. I was hot, dazed by the amber glow, and in pain from being forcibly moved.
My arm thud against a solid metal table. Before I could even think about moving my arm away, a hot iron was pressed to my face-up inner arm. In the smoldering building, hot was relative and I couldn’t tell if I was being burned or if it was some other sensation. Whatever it was, it was excruciating.
I must have blacked out from the pain because the next thing I remember is waking up in an office. The temperature was much more manageable in this room, it even felt cool in comparison. The room was depressingly empty, just an office chair behind a desk with some computing interface on top. Other than that, there was the cheap upholstered chair I was sitting on. It was a typical, drab, square office space.
I sat up in the chair and regained my composure. Memory of the previous moments came back as I looked down at my searing arm. The pain had mostly gone, but I could tell I would be feeling it the next morning. I touched the circular mark. It didn’t hurt to touch nor was it hot or cold. It simply felt like the rest of my skin, but it gave off a ghostly orange glow. The mark was a three fourths circle, a part of Tell’s logo.
Before I had any more time to examine the mark someone entered the door behind me. They came rushing in with a level of urgency. A burst of hot air came with them, but it dissipated quickly as the door shut. I swept my hair out of my eyes to get a better look at the person who walked in. They had on a dark gray suit with a black undershirt and a light blue tie. They looked like they were wearing armor, their hands were covered in metallic platting. Their boots seemed to be made of the same material and made a metallic click as they walked. I looked up and instead of being greeted by a face I saw a metal helmet with an orange visor. The visor took up all the front face of the helmet and even wrapped around the sides. They stood behind the desk with their hands placed on top. They leaned forward and spoke.
“Hi, welcome to training.” Their voice was somewhat deep with a mostly androgenous, but slightly feminine tone. “I would have given you the run down, but it seems our security bots got to you first. Thankfully they recognized you as an unmarked employee and not an intruder… getting fired means something a little different around here.” They straightened their posture and spoke with hand gestures. “You wanted to work at Tell, well now you’re in Hell…” They looked up to the corner where a camera sat watching. They then turned back and said, “I mean that as a joke of course.” They nodded their head and If I could have seen their face behind the visor, I probably would have seen them wink. “Well anyways, I’m Terra, hi. I use she/they pronouns don’t get it twisted. I’ll be your supervisor here in the armory.”
“I don’t know if this is what I had in mind when I put ‘okay with any position’ on my application. Armory? I didn’t know Tell was a weapons manufacturer.” I tried to speak with confidence, but I doubt any came across.
“Uh yeah… you see, this is operation is not public information. Is it illegal? Um, probably. That’s why you have that mark on your arm.” The mark on my arm started searing with pain. “If you even think about telling someone about this place the mark will hurt you. If you try to speak about it so someone who doesn’t also have a mark, then it’ll just kill you.” She said it so bluntly.
“WHAT!!!” I was taken aback.
“You did read the contract, right?”
