itoshi rin was born on the 9th of september, 19 years ago now.

that makes him a virgo, he thinks. not that he knows or cares what that means. it’s just another menial fun fact about himself he’s learned through fans. but he’s a virgo. or something.

his birthday used to mean something to him. when he was a little boy, so little, he wouldn’t be able to sleep the night before out of sheer excitement. waking up before the sun, he’d barge into his family’s rooms— his brother first, then parents— to alert them of the joyous occasion. because truly, there was no such event of that kind of importance. another year passed, another to celebrate. coming of life, again, and again.

that used to feel beautiful.

but then rin got older. and he stopped having a brother to wake up on birthday mornings, and his parents grew older. and it stopped mattering. he didn’t have time for a birthday. september 9th became the same as any other day, just a regular monday or tuesday, just another 1 out of 365. as his fame skyrocketed, people began celebrating for him. fans would surprise him with little trinkets and cards if the encountered him, and his parents (who had never stopped trying their bests to keep tradition alive) would tell him they loved him and mean it a little extra.

but for him it was always the same. wake up at the same time, do the same things, eat the same meals, talk to the same people— ones he saw every day, never the ones (or, one) he wanted to see— always the same, same, same. the year he turned 18, he woke up on september 9th having forgotten it was his own birthday. he was only reminded by a text from his mother. she had shared an old, old photo. a relic, really— a little tiny boy who looked so fragile, you could snap him in two, with big eyes and bigger lashes, stared blankly at the camera. a large, brand new kid’s sized soccer ball was held in his hands. and behind him, another child— one with a matching expression, but a little older and with brownish-reddish bangs— glaring at the camera as if he was already too good to have his picture taken. somehow, this picture makes him upset.

itoshi rin remembers the feelings. how wonderful it used to be, to wake up as if the whole world was waiting for you. to look forward to that. and he doesn’t think he’ll ever feel that again, not soon, not ever. joy is a thing of the past, outgrown like a little boy outgrows his first pair of cleats. birthdays are for people worth celebrating, he thinks. and as far as he’s concerned, that isn’t him.

but then he meets you.

march 12. he remembers that day. march 12, of the year he’d turn 20. you observe him from across the room— eyes widened, fixed, starstruck— and it’s nothing he’s not used to except for the fact that he thinks you’re pretty. the coffee shop is quiet, at 7 in the morning. he’s a regular, so he knows for a fact that you’re new around here. everything about you screams it— your posture, shifted to watch everything happening in the small space, how you’ve barely taken a sip of your drink, how you’re alone at the little table with two chairs— and he thinks that if he’s seen you before, he’d remember.

the barista slides him his drink. with a curt nod, he thanks her before retreating to a dark secluded corner to stand in like he’s some caged animal. and now rin knows you’re not from around here, because you pick up your drink and come over to speak to him.

he doesn’t remember what you said to him. he doesn’t remember what, or if, he replied. but he remembers you persisting, through his brick walls, through his shields. he remembers your laugh’s echo within those warm, warm, walls.

a coffee shared turns into two. then three. then a dinner date, and then the movies. then a late-night drive home, and then a first kiss. and then, itoshi rin is in love.

falling in love happens in stages, is what he’s always heard. but he disagrees. he’s always liked you, sure, a lot is he’s being honest. but he thinks he falls in love with you fully, in his entirety, on september 9th of the year he turns 21.

the both of you don’t officially live together, not yet, but you’re at his place so often you might as well move in. his alarm doesn’t go off to wake him. instead, he’s greeted by the smell of coffee (which he recognizes as that from his favourite café) and his clock reading 8:52 in the morning.

and then you come in.

still in your pajamas, you look particularly proud and particularly stressed with a platter of asymmetrical assorted breakfast items. “happy birthday,” you whisper, even though he’s fully awake now.

itoshi rin falls in love with you on september 9th. he thinks that you’ve made it all beautiful again.

putting my major to use and using the principles of relative dating to try to piece together a timeline for mob psycho

reigens birthday (10/10) and meeting aliens (12/31-1/1) are the only events with solid dates but can be used as a basis to infer a lot of other dates if we work backwards

-tsubomi moving gets announced the day they get back from winter break and shes said to be moving in a month so the confession arc has to take place some time between january and february (based on how little time seems to pass between the announcement and mob's confession id say mid january)

-on winter break before they meet aliens (late decemeber) ritsu says dimple has been missing for a month, putting the broccoli arc in late november

-they had to have met the yokai hunter at least two weeks before the broccoli arc as mob says the school festival is in two weeks, putting the yokai fight in early-mid november

-since at least a bit of time passed between mob getting assigned his group and him stressing about the school festival being "only two weeks away" we can assume that the world domination arc (which happened an unspecified amount of time later) is either later october or early november. its unlikely to have been mid october as a significant amount of time seems to pass between reigens birthday and the press conference

-the seventh division leader says "the boss" (toichiro) will be coming to japan in a month which seems to put ritsus kidnapping and the rest of that arc in mid-late september

-if we use extracanonical birthday math teru and mob meeting has to take place some time after july 2nd because during ritsu and mezatos interview (which takes place shortly before it) she says hes 13 and before july 2nd he still would have been 12. given how much time seems to pass during ritsus joker arc id say late august or early september is a good suspected date for this, but we cant really rule out this happening earlier. the closer you get to the beginning the harder it gets to put dates on this stuff since it started as a gag comic

-mob met dimple one day before mezato interviewed ritsu and given that he doesnt come out of his room and go “happy birthday want to walk to school together” its still after july 2nd

-he joined the body improvement club pretty soon before this so at earliest the telepathy club arc could start in late june

-the first episode could happen literally any time after april (when the new school year starts) as the only reference to anything setting it in time is that hes a second year

#the alien arc and separation arc are the pottassium-argon rich ash layers in the rock formation that is the mp100 timeline #also yes this does mean mob probably spent more time in mogamiland than the time the rest of the story takes place over as per that one post #mp100 #mob psycho 100

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart - Sub!Eddie Munson X Dom!Fem!Reader (Smut) *Sneak Peek*

A/N: So I'm hoping to post this fic at 12:00 am UK time on the 7th September 'cause it will be my BIRTHDAY!!! So this will be a birthday gift from me to you. I do hope you enjoy xxx

-----

Your eyes moved to the box between your thighs - pretty pink paper with tiny red hearts wrapped neatly around the box. You wouldn't be surprised if he had spent all day trying to wrap it as neatly as he could. He had topped it off with a blushing ribbon tied in a bow. You reached for it, pausing to look him in the eyes. You both had the same look - a look that said you knew exactly where this was going. You took your time pulling the ribbon out of its loops, much to Eddies dismay, and then lifted the lid off the box to reveal what you had been yearning for.

"Oh, Eddie, you shouldn't have."

"Thought I'd get you something you'd get a lot of use out of."

"I love it." You leaned over to give him a thank you kiss, giggling into his lips.

"You wanna know the best part?" He mumbled against your lips. "It's all yours tonight, whatever you say goes."

"I get to do anything I want to you?"

He nodded confidently.

You bit your lip in thought. You could go slow and romantic, let him make love to you to ebb the tension out of your body, said the angel. Or you could absolutely ruin him, argued the devil. It was something you hadn't got the chance to do yet. Eddie was always very dominant when it came to bedroom activities, not that you minded, but sometimes you wanted to make him crumble - give him a taste of his own medicine. That, and it would be a good way to let out all of your frustrations of the day.

The devil won.

"Oh, your gonna wish you hadn't said that." You teased, trying to keep your assertive composure and not laugh when Eddie's face fell . "Still got them cuffs pretty boy?"

A Room For Two

A/n: just a silly little one shot I put together for Mammon’s birthday💖 Happy Birthday to the Demon of my dreams✨

Cw: hurt/comfort, suggestive at the very end but nothing explicit

Word count: 1.7k

7:18 AM

“Mornin’ human! It’s a great day ain’t it!!” Mammon chirps as he barrels into the dining room, seating himself right next to you.

“Well, it’s only seven but I guess it’s been pretty good so far.” You chuckle light heartedly.

“‘S only gonna get better! You know why?” He asks, leaning in close to you with a dorky grin on his face.

“No Mammon, I don’t know why.” You try to stifle your laughter. He seems unusually giddy this morning and you aren’t sure why.

“Well, you know what day it is don’t ya?!”

“It’s Saturday, September the tenth.” You say casually, continuing to eat your breakfast.

“RIGHT! And what does that meeean?” The second born prods, his grin growing bigger.

“Ummmm,” you look up at the ceiling as you think for a moment. “It means it’s Lucifer’s turn to do the laundry so it better all be in the wash room?” You finally respond.

“WHA— LAUNDRY?! This ain’t got nothing to do with— OH SHIT MY LAUNDRY!” Mammon flies from the table, knocking the chair over on his way out.

You shrug your shoulders and go back to your breakfast again. Satan enters shortly after, picking up the discarded chair and brushing it off before sitting down beside you.

“Any idea why Mammon is running down the hall as though Cerberus is after him?” He muses. You look over at him and shrug once more, after swallowing your food you answer.

“He’s just really excited about laundry day I guess.”

12:45 PM

“Oh come oooooon,” Mammon whines. “Just call in and come with me!”

“Mammon I can’t call in, I’ve haven’t missed a day of work in the last six months!” You reply, quickly trying to throw your uniform on.

“Exactly!! You work too much, just spend today with me instead! We can go to the carnival!” He eagerly offers.

“Why,” you laugh. “So you can take me to the haunted house, get scared and try to cop a feel like last time?”

“HEY! It ain’t like that! Not my fault ya grabbed onto me and yer ass just happened to touch my hand!” Mammon huffs.

“Oh yes, and I’m sure it wasn’t your fault that your hand just happened to wander further when the room went dark.” Rolling your eyes you give him a smirk. You watch as the greedy demon begins to blush and rub the back of his neck, a harsh cough to change the subject and he’s back to begging.

“Please! Just this one day, I won’t ever ask ya to call in again! I’ll be good!”

“Aww, Mams!” You start off rather condescendingly. “I know you’ll be good! Because you know what happens when you aren’t.” You throw him a teasing wink which coaxes a sharp yelp from the second born.

You continue to get ready for work but notice Mammon still pouting in the corner.

“Look Mams, I promise once I’m off work we can hang out alright? I just really need the money from this shift tonight!” Making your way over to the dejected demon, you hold his face in your hands. His face lights up immediately.

“That’s all it is? If it’s money ya need ya know I’ll handle it! Yer my human, ya know I’ll take care of ya!” You can see the hopeful gleam in his eyes and it pains you to crush his spirits.

“No Mammon, not this time. I appreciate the offer but this time I need my own money. I’ll see you tonight, okay?”

“‘Course,” he gently holds onto your left wrist and leans into your hand slightly. “I’ll see ya tonight.”

You know he’s upset but if you don’t leave now you’ll be late. So you give him a quick kiss on the cheek hoping that will keep him occupied for the next two hours or so and dash out the door.

9:28 PM

Time seems to pass slower than normal, the house is quiet after the rambunctious dinner earlier. Mammon lays on his bed staring at the ceiling, the ticking of the clock and the soft hum of the TV are his only company.

“Stupid birthday…”

True, his brothers had all wished him well this morning, the angels had made him a small cake, and everyone including Diavolo and Barbatos had come over for dinner to celebrate but it still felt bland.

He knew why, he didn’t have to guess, the whole day felt stupid because you weren’t there. You missed dinner because of your shift at work, you missed out on the entire day because of work actually. Worse than that you hadn’t even acknowledged his birthday, maybe it was silly for him to get his hopes up, maybe he was taking it too personal, maybe you just didn’t remember birthdays that well…..but you remembered Barbatos’ last month…and Luke before that….and you had spent the whole evening with Lucifer on his birthday.

Doing his best to hold it together, Mammon squeezes his eyes shut. He feels so silly, he’s well over 4,000 years old but right now he feels about 200 years old with how upset he is. Every year was the same thing, hell there were at least 600 birthdays he didn’t even celebrate just because it felt repetitive, but this year he had hoped it would be different. This year he had been excited. This year he had you. Or so he thought.

More than anything he had wanted to spend some time alone with you, to finally have a day where the two of you could just enjoy each other and not be interrupted. Nothing had gone the way he wanted, in fact he had spent less time with you today than he normally did. Everything about this birthday sucked.

A single tear managed to break free, just as it did Mammon felt his phone vibrate next to him. It was you.

“Sup?” He tries to act as if he wasn’t just wallowing in self pity for the last thirty minutes.

“Hey! So I got off work early but some friends invited me to this dope party at the Three Legged Crow Resort! Asmo said he’s busy but do you wanna come?” You sound so eager. Mammon was a little surprised, parties usually weren’t your scene and typically he and Asmo had to beg you to join them at The Fall. “Come on it’s a Saturday night what else are you doing?” You tease over the phone.

“Yeah, I’ll meet ya there. Don’t do anything stupid until I show up alright?” He hopes you can’t tell how happy he is to hear your voice. Maybe this birthday can still be great, so long as he gets some time with you even if it’s not alone like he wanted.

9:45 PM

Mammon makes his way down the hall, searching for the room number you told him on the phone. He stops in front of room 1534 and questions why it’s so quiet, usually parties like this you can hear all the way from the elevator but it seems completely silent inside.

The second born turns the room card over in his hand, the Succubus at the front desk had acted weird while giving it to him, almost jealous it seemed. Shaking the thought from his mind, Mammon scans the card and opens the door, planning to be met with blaring music and pulsating lights.

Upon entering, the Avatar of Greed is completely confused. There’s no loud music, no flashing lights, no room packed with demons and succubi. It’s one of the most expensive suites on the resort— he should know with the amount of parties he’s attended here—, yet it’s completely empty. Mammon wonders a little further into the room, the lights are dim, the fireplace is burning softly, and there’s a sweet scent lingering in the air. Your scent.

“Shoot, you’re early!”

Mammon spins around at the sound of your voice to find you standing near the kitchen. Wearing one of the resort robes, a bottle of demonus in one hand and two glasses in the other, he can feel his face heat up at the sight.

“W-What’s goin on? I thought there was a party, where’s everyone at?” He finally manages.

“There’s no party,” you give a mischievous smile and set the glasses on the table along with the bottle. “I made that up so you wouldn’t suspect anything!”

“So then what’s all this for?” Mammon gestures to the massive suite.

“It’s for you!” You plant a firm kiss on his cheek. “Happy Birthday Mammon!”

“For— but you didn’t…how’d ya…I don’t understand.” You watch Mammon glitch for a minute and realize he’s trying to put the pieces together in his head. You sit him down on the couch and explain that you had been lying this morning about not know why the day was so special, that you had been working extra shifts at work to afford this suite for the night, that you had wanted all of this to be a surprise for him.

“Y-ya did all this just for me?” He looks at you with eyes of adoration.

“Well of course I did!”

“Thought ya forgot at first…” He mumbles and looks down at his lap, his cheeks starting to heat up.

“How could I forgot your birthday? You’re my first man after all,” You reach over and gently pull his face towards you, catching his lips with yours. Pulling away you look into his blue eyes and can almost see the little hearts inside. “I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

Blush consumes his cheeks as the second born pulls you back in for another kiss. Just as you begin to melt against him, Mammon pulls away suddenly.

“Hold on, I get wantin this to be a surprise, but why’d ya make me wear this dumb suit and tie??” He pulls on the jacket of his suit in exaggeration.

“Cause I think you look hot in it.” You tease and pull on his tie.

“Y-yeah, alright.” He responds, overly flustered.

“By the way,” you say while undoing his tie and the first few buttons on his shirt. “I spent all my money on this room so the two of us could be alone for the night, but your real gift is under this robe.”

Mammon’s whole body runs hot as you slide your hand under his shirt and across his chest. He had dreamed of having a night alone with you like this since the day he fell in love with you, and tonight you made his dream a reality.

This would be the greatest birthday after all.

I'm so sorry I know you're in a Naruto mood, but childhood friends to lovers with Suga sounds so cute 😭

reqs are open :)

anatomy of a wish (or the thermodynamics of falling in love)

sugawara; sfw; 1,617 words

june, 2001

“tomorrow’s my birthday! u wanna come?”

the two of you are all of seven years old, with dreams too big for this world to handle, and bodies still small enough for the sky to seem like an endless place. he grins at you, jabbing a thumb into his chest, puffing it out like all his favorite superheroes. like this, he thinks, there’s no way she’ll say no! because the pretty girls never say no to the heroes in movies. and that’s just how things go.

“only if you tell me your birthday wish!" you say, grinning from ear to ear, watching as he struggles with the concept of telling someone else his birthday wish.

"ah... but momma said that if you tell someone a wish, then it won't come true!"

july, 2012

“nee, koushi… what’d you get for question 12?”

you’re splayed across his bedroom floor, cheek pressed against the workbook pages. there’s two bottles of fanta sitting in the space between your bodies, condensation beading on the frosted glass, their contents half drunk, the bubbles falling flatter with each passing second.

“it’s too damn hot in this stupid town… i wish it's just... cool down or something...” he says, lying on his back with his arms splayed out beside him, staring up at the lazy circles of the ceiling fan, doing absolutely nothing to cool down the tepid heat rising within the walls of his room.

“wishes don't come true just because you want them to, you know that right?” you flash him a lopsided grin and he feels his stomach backflip inside him.

august, 2002

“we’re supposed to hold hands when we cross the street!”

you bite your lips as suga grabs your tiny hand in his, your palms sticky with the summer heat, the road deserted except for the shadow of a few large crows, feasting on the remains of some long-dead roadkill. you crinkle your nose as he pulls you across the street to the convenience store, the both of you heaving a long sigh of relief as you step through the air-conditioned doors.

“kou-chan… you’re sweaty.” you blink down at your linked hands.

he hums loudly, pointing with this free hand at the on-sale tuna onigiri on the counter, and makes no effort to let you go.

september, 2012

“so, where’re you gonna apply?” you tap your pencil on the wooden desk, him leaning over the back of his chair to doodle in the margins of your notebook.

“hm? i dunno… probably somewhere close by…”

“are you… gonna keep on playing volleyball?”

his pencil pauses; so does yours.

“yeah. i-i think i am.”

you smile, your pencil resuming it’s rhythmic tap, tap, tap on the table. he doesn’t look up, but you can see the grin on his lips as he continues to shade in the stripes of a perfectly drawn volleyball.

“good. okay.”

october, 2004

at ten years old, sugawara koushi is certain he’s going to marry you.

“what kinda wedding dress do you think you’d wear?” he asks, the pair of you lying on the futon in your room, staring at the soft green glow of the stars pasted across your ceiling. once upon a time, you might've asked what wishes he would've made. but wishes are for children, and they won't come true if you tell them to someone anyway.

“mmm… something pretty.”

“well, duh.”

you make to kick him; he laughs, rolling out of your reach.

“i just meant that anything would look pretty on you!” he says, still laughing.

you sniff, feeling your cheeks warm with the weight of his words.

“you’re cheesy,” you say, unable to stop the smile from spreading across your lips.

“your moms says that girls like that kinda thing.”

november, 2013

“hey! how’s tokyo? ah — well, i guess i was just there last year for nationals — right… but miyagi is the same as ever. quiet… but it’s the nice kinda quiet, y’know? i — uhm… i miss you. i mean, all of us do — asahi and daichi too! but… i think i miss you the most. i know you’re busy with studies so it’s okay if you don’t call me back for a while but… i just wanted you to know that. we’re all good here, so don’t worry. ah — right. that’s it! let me know if you’re coming back for new years! it — it’d be nice to see you again. we... we can visit the shrine and make our new years wishes."

december, 2008

“we go to high school next year!”

you laugh as suga skips half a step in front of you, his breath puffing out in front of him in a great cloud of white.

“you applied to karasuno, right?”

he nods, his moon-kissed hair flopping excitedly about his ears.

“mhm! i watched their team play at nationals and — uwah, it was so cool!!! wait — you applied there too, right?”

you grin, raising an eyebrow, “hm… did i?”

suga pins you with a reproachful look, “it’s mean to play with a young boy’s tender emotions like that, y’know!”

you roll your eyes, “you’re full of shit, sugawara koushi.”

january, 2014

you meet at the foot of the stairs leading up to the shrine, the air is crystalline and clear.

“happy new years,” you both say at the exact same time.

a pregnant pause, and then, you fall into the laughter, the sweet, twinkling, midnight laughter, the warm, welcoming sunrise laughter. the laughter you both grew up surrounded by because you were always, always with each other and nothing has ever been so easy as falling back into this.

“know what you’re gonna wish for?” you ask.

suga grins, bumping you with his shoulder, “i’ve got an idea, you?”

you glance at him and bump him back.

“i’ve got an idea.”

february, 2009

“i got in! i can’t believe i actually got in! i’m going to the karasuno high!”

he waves an acceptance letter in your face, the morning air still cold enough to sting. but the sun is rising behind him and you smile at him like the first breath of spring. he freezes, something clunking clumsily inside his chest like a pair of sneakers tossed into a washing machine.

“you… you made it too, right?” he asks, cautiously, because there’s no way that you’re not going to the same high school as him, right?

you lilt your head to one side, your grin calcifying into something he’s always knew he loved in the space between his chest and his stomach.

“guess,” you say, sidestepping him on the sidewalk even as he nearly stumbles to follow after you.

“of course you did! i-it’d be stupid if you didn’t.”

he levels himself with you and you cast him sidelong glance, holding his gaze just long enough for him to doubt, to blush, to look away.

“it sure would be, huh.”

march, 2016

“so… education, huh?” you tuck a strand of hair behind you ear, the first buds of spring clinging to the winter-bare branches like beads of morning dew.

“yeah… i think i — i’d like to try. y’know… shaping young minds and all that.”

“hm…” you prop your cheek on the heel of your hand, “you’d make a wonderful teacher.”

silence. you sip at your lavender latte, him at his cappuccino.

“i… think i’d like kids… eventually someday.” he licks his lips, his entire body flushing with heat. he wonders if it’s a good idea to be having caffeine so late in the day but you laugh and he looks up and the smile on your face makes everything worth it.

“y’know… i think i do too.”

april, 2010

“if we win this next practice match, will you go out with me?”

he’s smiling, but you can see the corner of his eyes drawing down in that nervous tick of his, hear the way his voice trembles, ever so slightly.

“no.”

suga blinks, somewhere inside him, he thinks he hears the sound of his heart shattering into a million irreparable pieces.

“n…o?”

you shake your head, “i don’t want us to hinge on the outcome of a volleyball match.”

“then… what do you want us to hinge on?”

may, 2018

“hey, what do you want for your birthday this year?”

you walk down lantern-lit street, hand in hand, your faces illuminated by all the dancing matsuri lights.

“hmm… i’ll only tell you if you promise to say yes.”

you pause, you turn to face him and he turns to face you, and neither of you wonders if you say a wish aloud, whether it'll actually come true. of course it will, because you'll make it so, no matter if the wish was made on a falling star or a birthday candle or just in the spaces between two fated souls.

there’s an entire stampede of wild horses thundering across the plains of your heart and suga smiles like he knows exactly what you're feeling.

“okay… i’ll say yes. as a birthday present,” you say, biting down the feeling of the entire universe shifting around you, of time itself slowing down to watch this moment play out, of destiny tugging on the strings that had always conducted you both. one, and then the other, dancing, circling around just this moment.

suga takes a breath before he drops to one knee.

“marry me.”

june, 2012

“happy birthday!!! c’mon close your eyes and make a wish!”

you cheer as suga squeezes his eyes shut over his folded fingers, and then a second later, blows out eighteen multi-colored candles. everyone cheers around him, the entire volleyball team is there, and you'd all spent hours papering the locker-room ceiling in green plastic stars. but still, he only has eyes for you.

“cake! cake! cakeee!” hinata shouts, bouncing around as daichi rummages around the bakery bag for the plastic cake-cutting knife.

“what did you wish for?” you ask, bumping your shoulder against his, even as suga blushes, licking his lips with a sly little grin.

“can’t tell you.”

“why?”

(because i wished for you.)

“cause then, it won’t come true.”

a new rcp oc/blog mascot!

Meet Clue! An inspiring detective who thrives to be just like her idols!

Clue is a bit of a scatterbrain. She's often seen either tripping or falling, even over air at times. To say she's a girlflop is quite the understatement. Despite her clumsiness, Clue never gives up and keeps pushing through. Clue always has hope for herself, no matter how bad things may get for her!

Clue looks up to the RCT, but the one she looks up the most to is Poli. When she was just a small vechile, Poli had helped her defend herself when she was accused of stealing something. And now, she aspires to be just like him. She wants to be the greatest detective of them all to make her idol proud!

Clue works on her own since many did not like her due to her clumsiness. This is why I gave her the counterparts of a wolf, as some may be lone!

Clue's charatcer development is going quite well. HOWEVER, at times she feels like she's the butt of the other rescue team members, she feels quite low compared to them. She is also quite emotional and an empath to the max, so she can react pretty heavily at argument sometimes.

Clue's special trait is her lie detector installed! You can't ever lie around her, she'll find out, no matter what!

Clue is pretty much more on the younger side, she's 19! Her birthday lays on September 5.

Clue's relationships ::

Jin: Jin had found her a bit too much to handle at first. She reminded her heavily of helly, as he can be a bit of a clutz too. But after seeing how badly she wants to achieve her dream, she's grown quite supportive!

Poli: The one she admires the most! Poli had remembered her a little from when she was younger, so he's like a father figure to her. However, he does get a little worried for the amount of bad luck she has at times. Despite that, he's rooting for his student at all times!

Roy: At first first meeting, he was quite heavily concerned about her due to her well.. getting in a lot of accidents. Despite that, the two did have something in common; both are total softies and empaths! They secretly watch a lot of romantic/dramas, the amount of times they had cried to the sad scenes is a little unreal.

Amber: She's like a precious little sister to her! Amber had always wanted to have someone to take care of as a little sister, and clue's the perfect canidate! However, Clue often ends up in her office due to the many injuries she sustains. (She's usually with Helly and Roy too when all of them get in silly accidents.)

Helly: At first, Helly envied her a little due to her nature of never giving up. However, after learning they do have some similar traits they become good friends! Sometimes, they like to go around the town to take pictures! (Clue does accidently photo bomb.. a lot..)

How did they encounter Clue?

Broomstown has been having problems due to an another incident again that made everyone lose their trust in each other. The RCT pondered outside about the whole ordeal, but then they encountered Clue tripping over and hitting poli in the head. After the both had them seen stars go round their head, Poli had realized that they had met before. After a heartwarming encounter, Clue goes about on how she can save the towns trust again. The rest of the RCT (besides Poli) was a little skeptical of this due to her clumsy nature, but gave it her shot. When Clue had really outshined her detective abilities, all of them were super impressed! And the towns peace was restored once again.

Clue is often not seen at rescues that require pulling, lifting or things such as that. She's more on the side when cases such as stealing, arguments etc. With her detective skills, she solves these cases all the way!

Clue would appear around season 7 as your typical side kick side charatcer. I'd say she would appear quite early in the series, so around episode 10-12! Her first episode name would be; The clue to a great detective!

She appears in season 7 the most, after season 7 she appears less, but does make a few cameos or even episodes in further seasons. She would also play a role in the safety series! She plays a more serious role in Poli's traffic safety series, but plays more of a sillier role in Amber's daily life safety series. (She probably had one focus episode where she probably broke something)

This is my first post ever and I thought maybe I could share a nice story with ya all. I've never really put it in complete order so it's time I do that.

As prelude, I own 3 cats. One of them, the oldest, is, at the time of writing this, 12 years old, with his papers noting that he was born the 6th of April 2012, 3 days after my dad's birthday. His name is Sacha, despite the vets who all name him Sasha (and also wrote that he's a girl for some reason? I mean he doesn't seem bothered but I don't think he understands English.) His name is kinda dumb but my bro named him. I prefer giving Egyptian names to my cats.

I got Sacha around 2015, I don't really remember which month. I was around 13 at the time and my first cat had just died. My mom was really feeling bad so we adopted Sacha from a center. His previous owners had placed him there cuz the lady got pregnant and apparently cats can mess with fetuses or something. Idk but I think his previous owners were lame cuz he stayed in that center for like 6 months and they took bad care of him. His claws grew in his paws, his fur got a lot of knots and he smelled really bad. He's half Persian so he needs a lot of care.

When he arrived home he was super sweet but really doing poorly. We toon him to the vet for his claws and hired a lady to remove his knots. He didn't like his new cut so the lady zooted him on I thinl weed? It was some drug, mfer has had more experiences with illicit substances than I and I'm kinda jealous tbh.

Sacha was my only cat for a while. My mom adopted Bagheera, a kitten born from one of her sister's cats when she divorced my dad around 2016 and Sacha stayed at my dad's place with me and my brother (the fucker who named him with such a lame name).

Anyway time passed, I lived my best life with my cat, took care of him, took him to vet every year for his vaccines (he goes outside), reconnected with my mom and adopted a kitten who was born in my mom's backyard and named him Settra. So that's why I have 3 cats. But back on track, in 2022 Sacha got an eye infection. We had to do a lot of ophtalmology to get it sorted and my mom helped a lot with that despite the fact that the cat wasn't even in her home. His eye's doing okay now but he needed new material be brought in his eye. Persians tend to be weak in eyes and nose.

Then when the summer vacations of 2023 ended, Sacha got sick. At first it was a minor cold so we didn't do anything, some snot in his nose, then around mid September he ate less. Come end of September and he was doing bad, still eating but always sneezing and his throat was inflamed. I brought him to the vet and he was given antibiotics that kinda helped.

By the beginning of October Sacha was doing pretty poorly and eating way less. He was always a fat cat so this concerned me a lot. The vet couldn't tell why the antibiotics weren't acting as he was supposed to have an infection so they gave him more and asked us to get a visit to a pet hospital 1h of travel away (Belgium is small, 1h of travel looks a lot for me but for American folks it's prilly shorert). So we did, got something planned for end of october. I wanted faster but they were full and he was still eating so not an emergency.

Meanwhile Sacha's health got worse. One of his eyes (not the one who had the surgery) couldn't open and he had little things in the part of forehead between his eyes that made a sort of scritchy sound when you ran your hand over it. Most concerningly, he wasn't eating. We (my mom and I) took him to another vet who did acupuncture with relative success, allowed Sacha to eat well for a day or two before going back to not eating.

I was getting really desperate so I mixed his food and fed him with a syringe for a week. I knew if my dad knew he wasn't eating, he'd suggest euthanasia as the costs of bringing a pet to the hospital are quite high. So I took his wet food, put it in my mom's mixer and mixed it for like 15 minutes when going back from school while dad was away, then cut it into even smaller bits and forcefed him with a syringe (his throat was super inflamed and small so he was probably in pain and I knew it but I couldn't stand to watch him thin like that).

On the 26th of October, we went to the hospital for him. My mom and I were reluctant to go there because it's an universitary hospital and we were kinda scared that he'd be put on life support and...I guess experimented on? We didn't want his life be prolonged if he was in constant pain but we went nonetheless. My mom took a day off work (again, she took a lot to get the cat to the vet) and I warned my Spanish teacher that I couldn't attend. She's a really sweet lady and I told her the story, she was super supportive.

The hospital was not all like we anticipated. The doctors were really charming and quite open with how much stuff cost. I speak French and the hospital staff spoke Dutch so we settled on English as a language to communicate with. Tirns out spending all that time playing dnd with strangers on discord paid off for me, I was able to talk with these docs no problem.

Of course without insurance it was expensive but it was doable to pay. They ran scans on Sacha and it was promising, they said he had an infection but had the right antibiotics for him. Since he didn't eat, they wanted to keep him there and we agreed. We gave our phone numbers and left.

When we visited Sacha the following day, they told us he had a lymphoma. It's blood cancer for those who dunno what that means (I certainly didn't till October). They asked us if we wanted to begin chemo.

I was fucking devastated. That cat had been with me through my parents' divorce, the death of family members, graduation, the lowest of my sick days and the brightest of my good days. I didn't want to leave him die of hunger without a fight.

My mom didn't have enough money to pay for it in full and my dad'd never use his money to pay for a cat's chemotherapy so I agreed to pay most of ot. I had a decent bit of money in a bank account, I basically never buy anything so pockeh money, student job money and birthday money stacked up. My dad'd never have allowed me to pay for that (neither him nor I even knew they had chemotherapy for cats) so I lied and said my mom paid for it.

He stayed at the hospital until the 31st of October, of course we visited him everyday and the hospital staff kept us informed with daily phonecalls to schedule a visit and tell us what was up. During that time (5 days since he arrived, 4 days since chemo started) they put a tube in his throat to feed him and started the chemo.

That. Shit. Worked. When we brought him home, he could open his eye again and even wanted to go for food (motherfucker do you know how much that tube costs?). He played with the other cats and we had a weekly checkup for him. I missed many Spanish classes. During his time at the center he really liked one doctor who calls him Sir and basically saved his life.

Of course he stayed at my mom's place. It was easier for feeding through his tube at first, my mom was in vacations and he needed 3 meals a day, then he stayed there. Wasn't gonna let him stay in the home of a person who'd let him die. I love my dad but fuck him for this. He admitted several times he'd have never brought my cat to that hospital (so he'd have left him die of cancer and hunger, poor cat was thinning by the day).

His tube was removed a month later and visits moved to once every 3 weeks. It's been continuing since then with me and my mom paying 50/50 for the costs. I missed a university travel to Athens because I couldn't afford it (something I'll never admit to my parents, I pretended there was drama and I didn't want to get involved) and I guess I won't leave the country this year. Honestly I'd have cut both arms to save that cat so it's a small price.

The people at the hospital love him too. He's really friendly so students can take his blood and try to take his heartbeat without worries. Problem is that he purrs too loud for a good lung listening to take place. Turns out Sacha loves getting pets and attention from groups of students and doctors who give him treats and headpats. He has done more drugs than me and has a better date game than me.

It's been quite a while now. Sacha's been doing really well and the recent reports note that he is in remission. I may have cried when I read that mail ngl. He goes outside and killed a big pigeon a few weeks ago. He plays with the other cats, he really likes Settra and for the first time in his life he does playfight. Bagheera likes him as a punching bag despite being smaller than him. My mom stays with him everyday and I visit half of the days of the week. He eats like a lion too, he went from 3 kilos to 4.7 kilos when he was last checked this Wednesday.

I guess this is a selfish post, it's kind of my way of both thanking the people who helped me like my mom, the docs and my Spanish teacher, without having to say thank you to their faces yet again, and a way of making my cat immortal in a way. Even with all the help, Sacha's gonna be gone one day, hopefully in a very long time. But this post'll remain for a while more so there'll be a trace of what humans did for that cat.

I also wanted to say that please don't be afraid to go to universitary pet hospitals if you have the means to afford it. It's a scary place, I didn't even know it existed but these people aren't out there vivisecting animals. They're really nice. And don't give up too early on stuff that matters to you, it's really worth to keep going, at least in this case.

And if you could do a few prayers for Sacha, that'd genuinely mean a lot to me.

Anyway here is the cat tax. I've included quite a few pics so this post can be even longer than it is.

Sacha as he was before he got sick:

Sacha as he was in October:

(Don't mind his lack of fur that's because he had too many knots and drastic measures had to be taken)

Sacha as he is now:

Sacha with Bagheera, on their favorite blankets.

Sacha and Settra begging to go outside (it's raining! I open the door and they don't leave!)

I love you, you dumb orange fuck.

Chapter 1 -

Prologue I 01 I 02 I 03 I 04 I 05 I 06 I 07 I 08 I 09 I 10 I 11 I 12 I 13 I 14.I I 14.II

Summary; Julia had never imagined she'd cross paths with the attractive stranger, William, once again - but one can never be too certain about what the universe might have in store…

Tags; William NylanderxOfc; “We never go out of style”

Warnings; alcohol consumption; swearing (I think); sexual references;

A/N; so this is the first chapter of the serie "We never go out of style" with Willy Styles - I hope you enjoy it, and that the jokes make somewhat sense as they did in my head ;)

Words; 3K+

“I don't need a man to make me feel good”

As September arrived, Julia strolled leisurely through the streets of Toronto, enjoying the taste of her coffee, thinking about how her time in the city had been nothing short of amazing.

Even though her best friend Camille had returned to London, Julia's new work team had warmly welcomed her, especially her close colleague, Charlie, who had gone out of her way to make her feel at home. Julia and Charlie had quickly formed a strong bond, and Charlie's extroverted nature led them to explore Toronto's hidden gems together - the best bars, restaurants, museums, gardens, and galleries.

Charlie strongly reminded Julia of Camille. They were both tall (well, taller than her 5'2", which pretty much anyone was), naturally fit, with light-coloured hair, and had a vibrant energy. Charlie worked as a project coordinator in Julia’s team and had been with the firm for a couple of years, starting out as a student assistant. Although a couple of years younger than Julia, Charlie made an effort to introduce her properly to the city.

One weekend, they set out for the Toronto Islands. The ferry ride had been pleasant, with the shimmering waters of Lake Ontario reflecting the sunlight, creating a mesmerising sight. Once they reached the islands, they hired bicycles and began their adventure.

The islands offered a serene escape, with lush greenery, picturesque beaches, and panoramic views of the city's skyline. Julia and Charlie cycled through quaint neighbourhoods, passing charming cottages and beautifully landscaped gardens. Along the way, they shared funny anecdotes, childhood memories, and aspirations for the future.

As they reached a particularly secluded part of the islands, they found a spot by the water to have their picnic. Julia had prepared an assortment of delicious sandwiches, fresh fruits, and homemade lemonade. They laughed, ate, and simply enjoyed each other's company as the waves gently lapped against the shore.

September 17th

It was Charlie's 25th birthday, and she had planned a night out with Julia, some colleagues, and a few of her girlfriends at a bar in Downtown Toronto. Charlie generously offered to buy the first round, and then everyone could choose their drinks freely. As it was a busy Saturday night, she had reserved a few tables in the back, ensuring the group could relax and enjoy games like darts and pool.

During the summer, Charlie had spent some time with her parents and had an unexpected encounter with her childhood friend, Mitch. Although they had grown apart over the years, their recent conversations had brought them back together. They had met up a few times since they both lived in the same city, and Charlie even extended an invitation to her birthday, although she wasn't sure if he'd make it due to his busy schedule.

Inside the bar, the atmosphere was lively, with music, laughter, and cheering filling the room. Julia was having a great time, effortlessly beating Mark and Scott at darts, probably thanks to her English upbringing. Meanwhile, Charlie made rounds, ensuring everyone was enjoying themselves.

"Oh my god! Miiiiitchy!" Charlie exclaimed when she suddenly spotted Mitch, the tall, brunette guy from her past, walking into the bar with a group of friends. "I didn’t think you’d come," she added as she greeted him with enthusiasm, hugging him warmly and flashing a big smile.

"Of course, I did! Wouldn’t miss it. Oh, and by the way, this is from my mom," he said, handing her a small-sized box.

Mitch had brought her a small gift, and Charlie graciously thanked him, sending her best regards to his mother.

"Guys, this is my friend Charlie," Mitch then introduced her to his group, as he stood there with three other guys. One of them seemed a bit puzzled, but Charlie couldn't help but notice how exceptionally good-looking he was. With his semi-long, dark hair slightly curled under his cap, tanned skin with a hint of Hispanic features, and a charming moustache and scruff, he exuded a unique appeal. He was dressed in a loose shirt paired with tight dark trousers, a thin jacket, and trainers. Charlie couldn't deny the magnetic attraction she felt toward him.

"She's not a dude…” the guy remarked to the others, causing laughter from his friends.

"Wow, quite the way to offend a girl in just five syllables," Charlie retorted playfully, joining in on the laughter.

"Sorry," he apologised, offering a nervous smile.

"Don't worry; it happens more often than you’d think," Charlie reassured him with a wink, sharing a moment of amusement. Just then, Mitch chimed in to introduce the guys.

"Char, you probably already know their names, but this is Auston, Mo, and Willy," Mitch said, and Charlie greeted them enthusiastically.

Indeed, she knew who they were; she wasn't oblivious to the world - being Canadian, she was well aware of some of the best hockey players in the NHL. She had also discreetly followed Mitch's career over the years, even though they hadn't been in touch for quite some time.

"Nice to meet you. Come on, have a drink or something," Charlie invited, gesturing for them to join the group. "Hey, JJ, there's someone I want you to meet," she called out to someone else.

'JJ,' William thought, his mind racing. No, it couldn't be... or could it? Oh, yes, it definitely could.

As she turned around from the other group, there she stood with her long blonde, curled hair, radiant smile, and those captivating big blue eyes. "Shit," William chuckled to himself, caught off guard by seeing her again. He hadn't exactly expected this kind of reunion.

"Hey," Julia greeted as Charlie motioned for her to join the group.

Immediately, she recognised William as well. How could she not? They had shared a great time at the bar, followed by an intimate session in her bedroom. Seeing him again with his beachy, blonde hair, Balenciaga t-shirt, and that smirk on his face brought back both memories and mixed feelings. He seemed amused by the situation, but Julia wasn't sure how to feel about seeing him again. He was undeniably attractive, and that smirk stirred up feelings she probably shouldn't indulge.

"So, this is my new colleague and very good friend, Julia, who’s just moved here from London," Charlie introduced to the lads, and they all greeted her.

"JJ, these guys here are probably the most important people for you to know about when living here," she then pointed out each of the lads - Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, Morgan Reilly, and William Nylander - explaining that they were the greatest hockey stars of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The lads chuckled at Charlie's praise.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Julia said with an excited expression.

“Well, come on, have a seat and a drink if you’d like,” Charlie said loudly.

They all took a seat at the tables while the others continued playing games. Julia made eye contact with the barman who almost immediately came over to take their orders, and the lads opted for fizzy drinks, mindful of their ongoing training.

“It’s a nice place you've chosen, Char,” Mitch remarked as he sat down in front of her with Auston to his right and Mo on his left.

“Thanks, it’s basically our go-to place whenever we go out,” Charlie smiled. “JJ used to go out for after-work beers back home, and so we’ve sort of adopted that into our team.”

"So, how do you like Toronto so far?" Morgan asked Julia, sitting across from her.

"Well, so far, everyone's been very welcoming and great - and it's an incredible city, so it's truly all good," she smiled.

"But the most important thing is that JJ will attend her very first NHL game next month," Charlie chimed in, sparking curiosity among the group.

"Oh, cool! When?" Mitch asked.

"It's the home opening game, right?" Julia said, looking at Charlie, who nodded.

“Yes, it's my welcoming slash birthday present,” Charlie added, garnering further interest from the lads.

"When's your birthday?" William suddenly asked from Julia’s right side.

"The 7th, next month," she responded with a soft smile, and the lads nodded.

"And how young, if we may ask?" Mo teased, and Julia laughed.

"27," she said confidently, "no worries, I have no issues with my age," which earned more laughs from the group. William couldn't help but smile, realising she was just slightly older than him, which he found amusing for some unknown reason.

“And do you know anything about hockey?” Auston asked from the opposite corner of the table, and Julia chuckled.

“Well, a little bit actually - or maybe just the basics of the basics,” she replied chuckling. She shared that her younger brother, Daniel, played hockey for a hobby, but she had only seen a couple of games herself.

“I didn’t know hockey was a big thing in England,” Mitch stated.

"It's not," Julia smiled, "but when Daniel was 8, he moved with our dad back to Denmark after our parents' divorce. And he played serious hockey there for some years before a bad ankle injury," she explained, capturing the lads' attention.

"Wait, you're from Denmark?" Auston asked with curiosity.

"Well, my dad is Danish, and I was born there, but I grew up in England,” Julia clarified with a friendly smile.

Auston then mentioned their best friend, Freddie, who used to play for the Leafs and also hailed from Denmark.

“Oh yeah, Frederik Andersen, right?” She asked, and they nodded confirming. “Yeah, he was like the first thing my father mentioned when I told him I was moving to Toronto - before he asked me about my promotion, of course,” she chuckled, and the lads responded with laughter.

"Maybe we should introduce you to him sometime," Mitch playfully suggested, and Julia eagerly agreed.

“And actually,” Charlie said, “Willy here is also from Scandinavia,” she told and pointed to William. “Sweden, right?” William nodded, offering Julia a friendly smile.

“Which is definitely not the same as Denmark,” he said jokingly.

“Oh, I couldn’t agree more,” Julia added, and they shared a moment of amusement as they all laughed.

“Let me guess, none of you would understand each other,” Mitch joked from across the table. They both shook their head chuckling causing laughter from the others.

As the night progressed, the playful banter continued, and Julia felt a sense of ease and comfort among the lads. They were all very sociable and outgoing, so she easily felt included in their conversations about hockey, their off-season, and how Charlie and Mitch shared stories from their childhood.

And as Julia laughed and smiled at the group's joking behaviour, William found himself drawn to her warmth and confidence. Her kindness and gentle touches had left an impression on him, and he couldn't deny that he still found her intriguing.

The initial tension had dissipated, and William actively participated in the banter, occasionally sharing flirty glances with Julia. There was a connection between them, but it wasn't overtly sexual. And no one else seemed to notice.

Julia had let go of any hard feelings towards William quite some time ago. Not that there was much to forgive, but she had felt a little hurt after he’d left. So, seeing him tonight was a bit of a surprise. But he did seem to be nice, and she found his charm enjoyable; his laughter was infectious and the way he playfully chatted with the rest of the guys simply made her feel comfortable around him.

In the meantime, a few of Charlie's other friends had left the party, while a few stayed, either joining the group at the table or heading to the dance floor.

Clara, one of their colleagues, approached the table and sat down between Mo and William, across from Julia. "So, Charlie, have you heard about JJ's secret lover?” she playfully asked.

Julia momentarily froze, recalling she had mentioned spending a night with a guy but hadn't exactly told that it was the gentleman sitting right beside her.

"Oh yeah, she mentioned him," Charlie chuckled, raising her eyebrows a few times, "Mr. Mystery."

Julia could sense William listening attentively from the corner of her eye, sensing that they were talking about him.

"So, JJ, are we ever gonna hear more about this mysterious gentleman and maybe even meet him?" Clara asked with a grin.

Julia tried to remain composed and replied nonchalantly, "Well, I don't think he'd be up for it. Besides, I don't even know that much about him."

William couldn't help but find amusement in the situation. Julia seemed to be handling it well, trying to downplay the encounter.

"I don't care, I wanna know who this guy is, who's the best sex you've ever had," Clara said, perhaps a bit too loudly, causing Julia to cringe inwardly. William had to suppress a smirk, knowing exactly what Clara was unknowingly talking about.

"The best one-night stand I've ever had," Julia corrected with a playful grin. "But, you know, he left without saying a word or leaving his number, so it doesn’t really matter.”

"Oh, come on! What's his name? We'll find him on social media," Clara persisted.

"We can't, believe me, I've tried," Charlie chimed in. "Do you know how many Wills there are in Toronto?” she chuckled, and Clara laughed along.

At that moment, William had a small internal realisation. Julia had told Charlie she couldn't really remember the guy's name, just that it might have been "Will or something." She had felt a bit embarrassed and hurt when recounting the one-night stand to Charlie and simply wanted to move past it.

He caught Julia's look, noticing her feeling a bit reserved. She simply gave the girls a soft smile, trying to ease the situation.

"Anyways, it's probably for the best," she said calmly, and the girls nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, a guy leaving a total babe like that must be out of his mind," Charlie added with confidence and encouragement. Julia chuckled at her supportive words, aware that William had heard every bit of the conversation.

After a short while, they all felt like having another drink, and the lads agreed to have one more before heading out. As Julia went to the bar to order, William took the opportunity to approach her and offer his help in carrying the drinks. She smiled warmly as he approached, but there was a hint of nervousness in her voice as she asked what he was doing.

"Just wanted to help out," William replied simply.

They stood there in silence for a moment before he broke it.

“So… I’m the best sex you’ve ever had?” he said, and Julia couldn’t help but smile and roll her eyes at him.

“Best one-night stand,” she corrected again, “there’s a difference.”

“Oh really,” he chuckled, “well maybe we can do it again? Then it wouldn’t be a one-night stand, and it’d just be the best sex ever,” he winked.

“You're such a cheeky bastard,” Julia said with a grin, slightly rolling her eyes at him again.

“Well - it was great, right?" he stated more than asked.

“It was,” Julia admitted with a soft smile, although she couldn't help but remember waking up slightly disappointed when William had left during the night.

"So, maybe we can repeat the success?” William playfully suggested.

Julia had to restrain herself from saying 'yes' immediately. The truth was it had been amazing with William. She might even have to admit that it indeed had been the best she’d ever had. But a part of her also knew that if she took him home tonight, she could potentially be putting herself in the same hurtful situation again.

William seemed like the type of guy who wasn’t used to getting a ‘no’ from women. He could probably have any girl he wanted and discard them just as easily. Those deep, ocean blue eyes of his had a mesmerising effect on her, and that's what had made her feel vulnerable in the first place. So, she decided that she needed to protect herself. She couldn't afford to let William's charm have this kind of power over her, so it was best for her to resist the temptation and keep their encounter from becoming more.

"No," she replied, chuckling lightly.

William looked a bit puzzled, wondering if he had misread the situation.

Julia leaned in closer to him, her tone softening. "It was great,” she said offering him a friendly smile, "but it was a one-time thing… You made that clear when you sneaked out in the middle of the night," she added with a wink before paying for the drinks and walking away from the bar, drinks in hand.

William stood there, slowly realising that his hasty departure had left a little mark on Julia. While he knew it had only been a one-night stand, he also understood that his actions might have come across as cold and inconsiderate.

He let out a sigh, watching her walk away, before he returned to the table with the other drinks and re-joined the current conversation.

After finishing their drinks, Mitch and Mo were the first to leave, giving Charlie a hug and wishing her a Happy Birthday once again.

Auston tried to play it cool, not wanting to reveal his interest in spending some time alone with Charlie, so he nonchalantly mentioned that he'd stay for a bit longer. Julia chuckled lightly, seeing through his act, finding it amusing.

And about 10 more minutes passed before Julia indicated that she'd head home as well. William, who had just returned from the men's room, had had the same thought.

Julia hugged Charlie goodbye and then turned to Auston, offering him a friendly smile.

"Be nice to her," she said, giving him a small wink, to which Auston nodded, chuckling in response.

As they stepped out onto the street, William turned to Julia.

“So, how drunk are you?” He asked. The question caught her off guard, but she just gave him a soft smile.

"Not drunk at all, actually. I only had a couple of drinks," she replied. "Why?"

"Just wanted to know if you needed help getting home safely," William said with a soft smirk. "No funny business, I promise," he added, making Julia chuckle a bit.

"Thanks, Wonderboy, but I'm okay," she said. "I'm a big, tough girl, you know - I can tie my own shoes and all," she added with a small wink.

William chuckled and nodded before they went their separate ways.

***

Over the following weeks, Charlie and Julia were rather tied up with work. They were facing an impending deadline, so it was all hands on deck.

Julia had been devoting quite a bit of time with her boss, Andrew, who was a recently separated 35-year-old father of two: Tyler at 8 and Phoebe at 6. He was a busy man as well, so Julia had been offering him a helping hand with his children whenever the department was overloaded with work.

Julia thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Tyler and Phoebe. They were full of energy and a lot of fun; and fortunately, they were also well-behaved. Having a niece of her own, she genuinely embraced playing the role of the fun aunt. And it did seem to be of great help to Andrew, which also made Julia’s workdays much smoother when he wasn't all stressed out and uptight.

Julia naturally also had to FaceTime Camille from time to time, and she had spilled the tea about her second encounter with William. Camille had been baffled hearing about it, but she also found it quite amusing. If anyone knew Julia well, it was Camille. They had lived together for 3 years before they both moved to London, where Julia then moved in with her boyfriend at the time; Ezra. They had developed a close connection over the years, sharing their most embarrassing moments and deepest thoughts and secrets.

Furthermore, Charlie and Julia had also spent a lot of time driving around the city and countryside. Julia had been exhilarated to experience the Canadian nature, which Charlie gladly tagged along to show her. And they were the perfect duo for road trips; Julia loved to drive, and Charlie was a true passenger princess.

In between all the hard work and road journeys, Charlie had also managed to spend some more time with Mitch and his fiancée, Stephanie, who had extended invitations for brunch and coffee to Julia, which she had warmly embraced.

I timelined Grant's solo series, and it gets even worse if you realize how short a timeframe everything takes place within.

Damage #1-6 and #0 take place over about three days, probably not too far into the school year (September?). In this timeframe, Grant

starts at a new school,

discovers he has extremely destructive powers that he can't control,

accidentally explodes and destroys his school,

returns home to find his parents gone and almost gets kidnapped,

tries to rescue his parents only for them to betray him,

witnesses his parents' murder,

causes another explosion,

goes on the run,

gets in multiple fights,

finds out that the couple who raised him weren't really his parents,

gets sucked into the Zero Hour event in which he must create an explosion to restart the universe,

and finally gets so overwhelmed by mounting frustrations and emotions that he accidentally blows up downtown Atlanta and has to turn himself in to the authorities.

Within the last 48 hours of all this time, he is running on no sleep and almost no food. He's under tremendous stress, is having to handle everything pretty much on his own, and actually it's a wonder he holds up for as long as he does.

Damage #7, which deals with his trial for the destruction of Atlanta, confirms that it is indeed autumn and takes place after Grant has spent several weeks being scrutinized in a lab. Probably three weeks at most--any more and it would have been described as a month.

But it's probably only two weeks, since New Titans #0, in which Grant begins his first stint with the Titans, confirms that it's been about two weeks after Zero Hour. His subsequent adventures with them cover just a few days, but by the time he leaves to look for answers about his parentage in New Titans #119, it's January. Grant claims in Damage #8 that he discovered his powers only a few weeks ago, but even if ignoring the New Titans timeline, it doesn't quite fit into what's already been established in his solo. Therefore, assuming that he joins the Titans in October at the earliest, he is with them for about three months. Perhaps closer to two.

Grant's search for answers in Damage #8-12 lasts about a week, during which time he gets into a lot of fights, reunites with his uncle the supervillain and inadvertently frees him from prison, fails to save the life of a girl he has feelings for, and learns the identity of his real parents. A lot to process.

Two days later, in Damage #13, he gets into a fight with his teammates and destroys a friendship, attends Mandra's funeral, and starts to address his grief. Three days later in #14-15 he teams up with Ray to try to catch his uncle (unsuccessfully), tries to connect with the Justice League League Task Force, gets abducted by Vandal Savage, learns the truth about his having DNA from most of the original JLA and JSA, visits his biological parents' graves, and meets several of his genetic "fathers." At some point around this time, he turns seventeen, and the birthday goes unnoticed. He claims to Ray that they met "a couple months back" at Zero Hour, when it's been a bit longer than that, but that's easy to chalk up as his being imprecise.

By Damage #16, he's in space with the Titans for an unspecified but probably fairly brief amount of time, and within the next few days after that, he discovers that he can use his powers to fly, almost kills Rose Wilson by accident, has an unfortunately very televised public outburst in Damage #17, quits the Titans for good on very poor terms in New Titans #127, and proceeds to run away to Florida.

His time in Florida in Damage #18-20 lasts for about a day, which involves multiple intense fights, another catastrophic explosion, getting possessed by a telepathic virus, mentally willing himself to fight it off, and teaching himself how to expend an extreme amount of energy without causing any harm. Then a few days later, the series ends as he meets up with his real father's godson.

So the entire series takes place over the span of four or five months at the most, September or October through January or early February. Within just several months Grant goes from being the apparently ordinary (albeit friendless) child of apparently ordinary parents to having potentially lethal powers and no parents or guidance while on the run from the law for breaking the terms of his sentence--at age seventeen. He has almost no time to process all the horrific events that life keeps throwing at him--he even comments on this at one point!--and no choice but to keep going on.

He's on the run for an unspecified amount of time afterward, and when he joins the Titans again, it's once more only for a fairly short time. Titans 1999 #12 situates the narrative about four months after the group re-forms, and Grant leaves the team less than two weeks later in #19. No relatively stable situation lasts long for him, no relationships get longer than several months to cultivate until he has to move on. It's not unlike the constant moving his "family" did his entire life. No matter what happens, no matter what team he joins or friends he makes, Grant can never seem to find the lasting stability that he needs to thrive, and that's part of what makes his story so ultimately tragic. He neither asks for nor deserves any of this.

#comicsposting again #GE: what I do is who I am #I didn't have the patience to timeline Grant's JSA era but I'd bet it doesn't last that long either #he's probably no more than nineteen when he dies #goodness only knows what's going on with him in current continuity since no one is actually featuring his character in any meaningful way
