bestie bestie bestie. what if what if aaron kept his beard/facial hair when he was back from overseas and when em and aaron had kids, he’s never had it shaven off. one day, he shaves off his beard and his kids got a shock and like “i dont wike it daddy” and cries and runs to hug em. and aaron is like “its me honey, its daddy” and theyre like “no! youre not my daddy” and it hurts him a little but em also agrees with her kids, “yeah, i dont wike it daddy” 😅🥹

Hi bestie!! I love this idea, and it was exactly the fluff I needed to write today. I really hope you enjoy this <3

Transform

After a slight mishap with his razor, Aaron has to shave off his beard for the first time in years, much to the disappointment of the women in his family.

Especially his 18-month-old daughter who doesn't recognise him.

Read over on Ao3, or below the cut

She’d always loved Aaron’s beard. 

It had taken her aback when she first saw it, the rugged stubble at odds with everything she’d ever known about her boss. Even when she’d visited him in the hospital after Haley and Jack had gone into hiding he’d been clean shaven, something he’d since told her had hurt like hell to do, his chest still burning from every wound Foyet had given him. 

By the time she can acknowledge the fact the beard makes him even more attractive, her concentration on Ian and Declan the moment she gets back, it’s gone. A wry smile painted across Aaron’s face as he tells her Jack didn’t like it. 

The next time she sees the beard is on their honeymoon. She convinces him to grow it out, fascinated by how it feels against her skin, the scratch of it something she finds comforting and arousing in equal measure. They end up straight back into a case the moment they get home and the airline loses his luggage and therefore his shaving kit. She’s distracted by the combination of the beard and his suit and she decides she needs to see it every day, her husband impossibly more attractive to her. 

He agrees to keep it, Jack’s distaste for it apparently long gone, and Emily’s love for the beard only increases. She loved to scratch her nails against it, to hear the rasp of it in their otherwise quiet bedroom. He mostly keeps it tidy, trimming and keeping it neat, but it gets a little more unkempt when their daughter is born. Ivy had been a fussy baby, colicky and only happy to sleep on one of her parent's chests for weeks. She’d even loved it then, loved how he looked when holding their tiny little girl, his stubble covered cheek pressed against her dark hair as he paced the bedroom to try and get her to sleep. 

She sighs sadly as she watches him from the doorway of their ensuite, her arms crossed over her chest as she leans against the wall. Aaron chuckles as he makes eye contact with her in the mirror, his attention briefly shifting from his reflection and his focus on his task. 

“You look like Ivy when she doesn’t get her way,” he quips as he looks back at himself, massaging the shaving balm into his face. 

Emily narrows her eyes at the comparison to their 18-month-old and pushes herself off the wall and walks towards him, leaning against the countertop in front of the sink, “It’s a travesty.” 

He smiles at her before he swills the razor in the sink and then starts to shave his face, “I can’t exactly walk around with a notch in my beard for the next couple of weeks, Em,” he says, tilting his head to pull the razor down his neck, “It will grow back.” 

He’d been distracted by his phone ringing when tidying up his beard, accidentally slipping and shaving a gap into it that usually wasn’t there. He’d decided, much against Emily’s protests, it was best to shave it off entirely and start again. 

“I know,” she sighs, running her fingers through his hair, her eyes fixed on what he was doing, the revealing of his skin underneath and she smiles, “And at least for the first time in three years I won’t have beard burn on my thighs.” 

He laughs and shakes his head at her, pulling the razor away from his throat, “Sweetheart, please don’t make me laugh when I’m holding a razor against my neck.”

She scrunches her nose up and nods, “Sorry, honey,” she’s cut off by Ivy crying out for her from her room and she leans in to kiss the tip of his nose, “I’ll go get her.” 

She stretches as she walks out of the master bedroom and towards the nursery, smiling as she opens the door to find Ivy standing up in her crib, her hands wrapped around the bar. Her dark hair was a mess and her pjyamas rumbled from where she’d slept, looking every bit as adorable as she always did. 

“Mama!” Ivy yells, her smile wide as she reaches for Emily, her tiny fists clenching and unclenching as she impatiently waits for her mother to cross the room.

“Good morning, sweet girl,” Emily says, lifting the toddler onto her hip, “We're going to have to get you a big girl bed soon,” she says, kissing her forehead, “I think you’re close to climbing out of the crib. Shall we go find Jack?”

Ivy snuggles against her and wraps her hand around the neckline of Emily’s t-shirt, one that used to belong to Aaron that she’d stolen for pjyamas, and she sighs, “‘Ack!” 

Emily chuckles and turns out of the nursery and heads downstairs, the sound of Jack’s cartoons letting her know exactly where he is. He’d been a morning person as long as she’d known him, often up even before Aaron these days, and he was happy to entertain himself until the rest of the family woke up. 

“Morning sweetie,” she says as she steps into the living room, putting down Ivy who was wriggling in her arms. As soon as she’s on the floor she runs over and joins Jack on the couch, practically climbing in his lap.

Jack turns and smiles at Emily, “Morning Mom,” he says, reaching for the television remote to change the channel, his attention on his little sister for a moment, “Shall we watch Dora?”

Ivy nods enthusiastically and claps her hands together, “Dora!” 

Emily ruffles Jack’s hair and smiles softly when he looks up at her, “You can carry on watching your show, Jack. You don’t have to change the channel just for her.” 

He shrugs like it was nothing, like the way he loved Ivy didn’t make her heart swell in her chest every time. When they first found out she was pregnant with Ivy, Emily had been worried about his reaction to becoming a big brother, but he’d been excited from the start - especially when they found out they were having a girl. They’d recently started trying for another baby, both of them well aware they wanted to expand their family and that they had limited time left to do so. The thought of having another baby, of having another little person to spend moments like this with made her giddy, the love she had for her family and the ordinary days she got to spend with them overwhelming. 

“It’s okay, she likes it,” Jack says, placing the remote back down, as Ivy stares at the television. 

“You’re a good big brother,” Emily replies, suppressing a yawn, “I’m going to go make some coffee, your Dad will make breakfast as soon as he’s downstairs.”

She turns to leave the room but smiles when she sees Aaron walking towards her, his face cleanly shaved and a soft smile on his face. 

“I can make your coffee, sweetheart,” he says as he makes it to her side and both Jack and Ivy turn to look at him. Before Emily can respond the kids react in unison to Aaron’s appearance. 

“Dad, you shaved!” Jack says, his words partially drowned out as Ivy bursts into tears. 

“Princess, what’s wrong?” Aaron says, moving to pick her up from the couch, but she only cries harder, scrambling out of his way and off the couch towards Emily, all but climbing up her until she lifts her.

“Baby,” Emily says, frowning as she exchanges a concerned look with Aaron as she holds Ivy close, running her hand up and down her back as the toddler buries her face in her neck, “What’s wrong? Are you hurt?” 

Ivy peeks out from Emily’s embrace and looks over at Aaron, her eyebrows furrowed as she unhooks one arm from around Emily’s neck, “Who that?” 

Emily sees it register on Aaron’s face the moment she realises what’s happened too. Ivy had never seen him without his beard and she didn’t recognise him. Emily has to press her lips together to stop herself from laughing, well aware that it wasn’t appropriate to do so when her daughter was upset and her husband looked so worried that he’d caused it. 

“Ivy, that’s Daddy,” Emily says, adjusting her hold on the toddler so she’s facing Aaron. She smiles when Ivy snuggles further into her embrace as she steps towards Aaron, as if she could hide away from him in her mother’s arms. 

“Not Daddy.” 

Aaron finally moves from where he’d been frozen in place and steps towards them, swallowing thickly against the guilt that was climbing up it at the thought of upsetting his little girl, no matter how accidental it had been. 

“It’s me, I promise,” he says, reaching out for her hand and lifting it to his lips to kiss the back of it. He’s grateful when she doesn’t pull away, her gaze intense as she looks at him, an expression Emily would say is all him staring right at him whilst she tries to figure out if he’s really who he says he is. 

“It is Daddy, Ivy,” Jack says, walking over with a framed picture in his hand, a photo from their wedding in his hands, Aaron’s clean shaven face staring up at them from behind glass, “See.” 

Emily smiles gratefully at her son for trying to help before she turns her attention back to her little girl, “He looks a little different but it’s still Daddy.”

Ivy touches Aaron’s cheek, her eyebrows knitting together as she feels the soft skin, and then she rests her head on Emily’s shoulder, “I not like it.” 

Emily laughs and kisses the top of Ivy’s head, “I’ll tell you a secret, sweet girl,” she says, kissing her one more time, “Mommy doesn’t like it either,” she says, winking at her husband when he rolls his eyes, “Now,” she says, putting Ivy back down on the couch, “Why don’t you two watch Dora, and we’ll go make breakfast, okay?” 

Ivy is reluctant to let go of Emily at first, but is quickly distracted by her favourite television show and her big brother, all of her concern about Aaron and his missing beard long gone. 

Emily walks into the kitchen and smiles softly when she sees Aaron the closest he’d ever come to pouting, his shoulders slumped slightly as he starts to gather everything he needs to make their breakfast. 

“She’s okay honey,” Emily says as she walks over, wrapping her arms around him as she encourages him to turn to look at her, both of her palms on her back, “She’s just never seen you without your beard before.” 

“I know,” he grumbles, “I hate that I upset her.”

She hums as she runs her knuckles down his bare cheek, glancing them over his jaw before she works her way up again, “Maybe you’ll be more careful next time you shave when it’s grown back.” 

He rolls his eyes at her and pulls her in, pressing his lips against hers as he drags her in for a kiss. It feels different to what she’s used to, his skin soft against hers, the scratch of the beard that had become so normal to her gone. She sighs contentedly as she stamps his lips against hers again as they pull away.

“It’s different,” she says, kissing him again, her eyes boring into his as she pulls back, her hands on the back of his head as she holds him in place. 

“What is?” He asks, running his hand up and down her back, his palm having snuck under the large t-shirt she was wearing.

“The kissing,” she replies, pressing her lips against the corner of his mouth, purposely catching his cheek instead. 

“Bad different or good different?” He asks, raising his eyebrow at her and she chuckles, leaning in to kiss him properly, her tongue sweeping through his mouth. 

“Good different,” she says, barely pulling back to speak, “Never bad.” 

He smiles widely at her as he pulls back and she cups his cheek and she presses her thumbs into his dimples, the carved out dips in his skin standing out even more now he no longer has a beard.

“How hard was it not to laugh when you realised why she was crying?” He asks, turning his head to kiss her palm. 

She bursts into laughter, the sound bright and beautiful, and something he wants to listen to forever. 

“Oh honey, you have no idea.”

Top five moments what made you go "yeah that boy is not straight" about Bojan? (for science)

Ohh, man that's a very good question

(Also please no one take this seriously, he is straight until proven otherwise, this is just for fun)

On number five we have a classic example of gay panic, aka Bojan pretending to think Jere meant Ruby and then coming back and calling him baby back (he is so me fr)

Then at number four we have-leaving your friends to do an interview without you, while you are getting lunch with your bf. Absolutely smitten 10/10

At number three we have famous Tavastia gig one. I mean. Com'on. You know he had a realization ™️ here. You can see it clesrly on his face

At number two is ofc: "Jere what is ljubav?" While looking at him like this. Like my bro, my bestie. This is not how you look at your friends. That is not a tone of voice you say "ljubav" when teaching them new words in your mother tongue(trust me I'm slavic I know). I have heard ljubav be uttered with less adoration at a wedding.

And at number one we have THIS FUCKING MOMENT. The touching, the eye contact the sheer WONDER on Bojan's face. This is literally the face of someone seeing their soulmate and going "God I love you sm I cannot believe you are real". No, you cannot convince me otherwise

If you made it this far, thank you for joining us for Rio's newest episode of making everyone queer. Thank you anon for that wonderful question, I loved answering it

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales; Why It Shouldn’t Exist

Or how I invested time and energy into an analysis of a relatively dead franchise instead of doing it for my actual media analysis university course.

An essay by: a bitter and obsessed PotC fan since they were 7, with a lot of free time.

Lads, this is going to be long. You have been warned.

The Beginning

At the very beginning of the movie, we see a young Henry Turner looking for his dad.

Now, we're not talking about characterization problems or how likely it is that a ten-year-old child would risk his life to look for a man he technically only saw once; we're talking about plot problems, actual logical fallacies. My questions are:

How? The Flying Dutchman is a legendary ship, impossible to be found unless She wants to be found. The only reason we see Her in Dead Man's Chest is because Davy Jones himself is looking for Jack to collect his debt, and in that occasion the Dutchman's captain wasn't even doing what he was supposed to do, so he was most definitely in the living world. Will otherwise, he's doing the job Calypso gave him, so he's constantly in between. Is the movie trying to convince me that a kid was able to do something no one in the history of piracy was ever able to do? And even if he did, why hasn't anyone explained me how? He simply looks at a map and throws himself on the bottom of the ocean. How did he know The Dutchman was there? How did he know it would've come to surface?

Where is his mom? We got to know Elizabeth in the first three movies; we know she's a smart woman and we can assume she's an attentive mother. She didn't notice her son preparing himself for a trip in the middle of the ocean to go look for his dad? Was she distracted? Was she outsmarted by a 10ish-year-old? Or is she just not contemplated in this scenario?

Why does Will look like that? Will is doing his job, so... why does he look like he's slowly corrupting? That kind of corruption is the punishment Calypso reserves to The Dutchman's crew when the captain fails her, which isn't the case. Did they forget about it? Was the idea of putting algae on Orlando Bloom's face just impossible to resist to?

Alright, this isn't actually from this movie but it's bothering me, so I have to write it; also, it would make this whole movie unnecessary, so it's somehow related to it. Why (and I can't stress this enough) can't Elizabeth be on the Dutchman? Why can't they do the job together? Is it because she's not a pirate? I'm pretty sure se actually is. Is it because she's a woman? Last time I checked she was the KING. She wants to stay with Will forever, Will wants to stay with her forever, they can literally live forever on the same ship. Why aren't they?

Whatever the Hell Happened to Jack Sparrow

Imagine creating a character that is so iconic whenever you ask a person who was a kid in the early 2000 to imagine a pirate, they imagine said character.

Now imagine fourteen years pass and you decide to ruin that character by making him the most hideous, annoying, idiotic person in the whole saga, and we're talking about a saga that has Philip the Missionary in it. Why? Jack Sparrow is THE anti-hero. Never on the right side, but never on the wrong one. You can tell he's doing something morally questionable, but you still find yourself rooting for him. He's stupid enough to make you laugh, but he's secretly clever enough to always get away with it. Now he's just... drunk. And that's not even an excuse for this horrendous new characterization, because he was always drunk. The guy FORGOT HE WAS ROBBING A BANK, the same guy just one movie earlier was able to escape from the King of England's palace and steal a lady's earring (by pretending to be a literal slut) in the process. He just switched from the iconic drunk bi bestie everyone loves to my cringe uncle that drinks too much at Christmas parties and makes everyone uncomfortable. Please, if the risk is ruining an entire generation's beloved character, either don't make the movie or find a better explanation than "Bad luck dogs you day and night".

The Pearl in The Bottle

So... what you're telling me is that Jack Sparrow, the guy who was able to defeat Hector Barbossa, Davy Jones and Blackbeard thanks to his slyness, and who loves his Black Pearl more than anything else in the world, had said ship in a bottle in his pockets for FIVE YEARS... and he never thought about breaking the bottle to free Her. That's what you're telling me. This is the pivotal point upon which the entire Jack's plot hinges. I... I don't even know what to say. Was this supposed to be funny?

What an Incredibly Lucky Coincidence

A guy needs a treasure to save his father. To find it, he needs the help of a notorious and legendary pirate. He looks for him everywhere, sailing on dozens of ships just so he has the remote chance to stumble across the pirate. The last ship he's been on has sinked, he's the only survivor. He's been found in the middle of the ocean and someone brought him to the nearest city. Which city? I mean, the one that has both the pirate he was looking for and a lady who's the only person in the whole planet who's able to find the treasure he was looking for! And, oh my... he finds the both of them! In that same city! Without even LOOKING FOR THEM! A hell of a coincidence, if you ask me. Also known as lazy writing.

What's Wrong With the Guards?

Now, I know Pirates of the Caribbean isn't exactly known for its accurate historical reconstructions, but why are the guards in this movie acting like they're some sort of hellhounds ready to kill anyone in sight? Even pirates and traitors as Jack and Henry were supposed to stand trial before being sentenced to death. It would've probably been an unjust and barbaric trial, but there should've been one. We literally saw it, in the previous movie. Why's Jack been sentenced to death for simply existing here? He gave pirate vibes and they decided that was enough?

Paul McCartney

This is not an actual point of the analysis, I just wanted to remind people that Paul McCartney is in this movie and that's the only valid reason to watch it.

Salazar

I am confused. Once again, I have questions.

El Matador Del Mar was so good at his job he had almost defeated piracy. "The last ones joined together to try and defeat me". The last what? Pirates? There were no pirates left? This happened when Jack was young, so a lot of time before the first movie, right? Where were, I don't know... Blackbeard? Davy Jones? Barbossa? All the other Pirate Lords? I might be wrong, but I guess Salazar didn't kill them, did he? Why weren't they there during that "last battle" in which "the last ones joined together"?

The Devil's Triangle. I just don't understand what's the logic behind it. So, this is a cursed place. Whoever enters there, can't get out. One would think it means that if you get there, you die; and Salazar does die, but he somehow also becomes a ghost whose only purpose is to find Jack Sparrow and have his revenge. So, do people become ghosts when they get in The Devil's Triangle? We have to assume people have gotten stuck in there before; otherwise, there wouldn't be legends around the place. So why isn't it like full of spirits ready to haunt people? Why are Salazar and his crew the only ones?

Poseidon or Calypso?

What's the Trident of Poseidon? Does Poseidon exist? Isn't Calypso the Goddess of the sea? Breaking the Trident, you break all the curses of the sea, so the Trident must be more powerful than Calypso, which leads to a question. Where is she? She IS the sea, right? So she must have known someone was about to find the Trident and brake all curses, including her one. She just decided it was okay? It really feels like someone decided to suddenly change the world's mythology without giving explanations.

The Compass

This is possibly the most blatant plot hole in the whole saga. Probably the most blatant plot hole I've ever witnessed, and man, I watched all the Harry Potter movies. In Dead Man's Chest, Jack meets Tia Dalma in her "shop" and he tells her he's looking for the Davy Jones' key. She asks him "The compass you bartered from me, it cannot lead you to this?", making another pivotal point of Dead Men Tell No Tales factually senseless.

That man couldn't have given his compass to Jack, because that wasn't his compass.

So either Salazar is lying while telling his tale or they forgot about that line in the second movie. Anyway, let's pretend that line doesn't exist; even if that captain gave Jack his compass in that exact moment, why would it be the key to free Salazar, exactly? How is the compass in any way related to The Devil's Triangle or to Salazar? In the movie, they try to explain it with a sentence: “if you betray it, your greatest fear comes true”. So, is Salazar Jack's greatest fear? I really doesn't seem right, Jack almost didn't remember Salazar when Henry mentioned him. To Jack, he's only a guy he outsmarted decades earlier. Also, Jack technically already gave the compass away, twice: to Elizabeth in Dead Man's Chest, to make her find the chest, and to Beckett in At World's End, when they're negotiating.

That's... That's Just Body Shaming, Mate

Let's talk about her. So, the woman's ugly. It can happen that a woman is ugly. Was it necessary to build an entire scene around some blatant body shaming? This scene wants to mimic the similar scene in Dead Man's Chest: Jack's on an island, running from the main villain, and he's forced to do things he doesn't want to do until someone saves him, then it was Will, now it's Hector.

Except in Dead Man's Chest it was LITERAL CANNIBALISM he was facing, and yet he looked LESS TERRIFIED and DISGUSTED. What's exactly the message here? Lads, is marrying an ugly woman worse than cannibalism? I don't know... that was just bad.

Justice for Hector Barbossa

If you know me (you probably don't, but if you do) then you know about my obsession with Hector Barbossa. I truly believe he's the best written character in the saga, and he's in my top five of the characters I love the most in all media. I watched The Curse of the Black Pearl when I was seven and I am autistic, so I had all the time to develop a literal relationship with these characters in my head. As much as Geoffrey Rush's interpretation was impeccable, as always, it really hurt to watch Hector in this movie. He just doesn't sound like him. First of all, why isn't he on the Queen Anne's Revenge? Why's he letting someone else sail around on his ships? He would've never. Why's he just sitting on a throne and shooting musicians instead of, I don't know... being a pirate? Being a pirate is the only thing that matters to him. He says it at the end of On Stranger Tides, and he even says it in this movie, to the witch. "I'm a pirate. Always will be".

So, why isn't he pirating? What happened to him? And what about the pact with the witch? He made her curse all his enemies; that's honestly the most out-of-character thing he could've done.

Seriously, watch this movie, and then The Curse of the Black Pearl and tell me he sounds like he's the same character. Then there’s his death... was it necessary? And I don't mean if it was necessary to the plot (it wasn't), but the way he died, did it make sense? He takes the sword and sacrifices himself to kill Salazar, but WHY? Salazar was back a mortal. They could've brought him to surface and then shoot him. What was the point of his death, Disney? I will never forgive you.

I would've preferred if they never showed him again. He's alive and living his best life in Tortuga, if you ask me.

How does Carina Smyth exist?

Let's do the math. Carina Smyth has approximately the same age as Henry Turner, who was born around nine moths after the end of At World's End. At the end of that movie, Barbossa once again stole the Black Pearl (he's iconic we stan a legend), so we have to assume it is during that time (between the At World's End and On Stranger Tides) that he conceives Carina. He stays with this woman during the whole pregnancy, bacause he says he was there when she died. So nine months, at least, right? Except; Jack makes it clear that he and Barbossa met Carina's mom, Margaret, together.

When, exactly, did this happen? It can't be between On Stranger Tides and Dead Men Tell No Tales, because Hector himself says only five years passed between the two, and Carina doesn't look like a five-year-old;

it can't be between At World's End and On Stranger Tides, because we know Jack and Barbossa weren't together, and Hector was too busy losing a leg and planning his revenge by working for the King of England; it can't be during At World's End, because Barbossa was too busy rescuing Jack and then slaying (literally and metaphorically) Beckett's men to save piracy; it can't be during Dead Man's Chest, because he was dead; it can't be during The Curse of the Black Pearl, nor during the ten years before it, because he was... he was a skeleton, I hardly believe he could reproduce, despite what’s written in some fanficions; it can't be before, of course, because Carina would be too old. The only chance, but it's a stretch, is that Hector and Jack met this Margaret Smyth years and years before, and that at a certain point (while he was still busy slaying, losing a leg or planning his revenge), for some reason he decided to come back to her and accidentally had a daughter. That would mean that Jack remembered Margaret Smyth's name DECADES after he met her.

The Post-Credit Scene: What?

WHY'S DAVY JONES BACK? The Trident technically broke all the curses of the sea. He is THE cursed man of the sea. AND HE'S DEAD. The only answer I was able to give me, is that the moment the Trident broke the curses, the curse that said if you stab his heart he dies was also broken, so he technically didn't die, but it makes even less sense, because if the curses just aren't real anymore, then a man shouldn't be able to... carve out his heart and put it in a chest, right? (Which by the way, makes Will Turner being alive senseless as well). Even if so, Davy should've come back as a human.

My conclusion is that this movie should not exist, and we, as a community, should pretend it was never made. Hector is alive. Bye.

See first impression, it has not changed. I LOVE HIM YOUR HONOUR. Is what I'd say if I was on trial. He's just such a pathetic nerd and I love that. And you know what, he's got a huuuuge dick and no one can convince me otherwise.

Satan first impression:

Book worm also likes cats. Ok I can dig that, personally I was not fussed on him to begin with, I was like where's the fire? Mainly because he wasn't very into the surprise guest shit and I didn't think it was worth it to spend my dp's on his favourite food for every surprise guest visit. And then I did the gold hellfire newt syrup arc and I was like oh damn there's the fire. Ok ok ok, I can get on this Satan train. I'll buy a ticket to ride.

Satan last impression:

I LOVE FLIRTING WITH HIM!! It's so easy and quite endearing to have him become a blushing mess. Proud member of the anti lucifer league, it gets me the punishment I neeeed 🙏🙏🙏 I also have like a fuck ton of cat pictures on my phone and I know he'd love that.

Asmodeus first impression:

He's pretty, and pink! But kind of full of himself. Originally I wasn't super interested in him, but he kept doing all this cute shit that kept drawing me back in. I want to pet his pretty little head and tell him he's the prettiest little being in all three realms. 🩷

Asmodeus last impression:

Besties! Fuck buddies! Dancing partner! He'll be seeing all of my naughty pictures before I send them because he's the one taking them. I still think he's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen and I'll be telling him that every second of every day.

Beelzebub first impression:

B I G. Like hello up there can I get a kiss? My second crush that took over first place. How could he not? He's so sweet, I want to take care of him. I want him to fuck me senseless every single night. My goodness, when he blushes I swear my coochie swoons. Did I say big already? I did? Ok well I'm saying it again! B I G!!!!!

Beelzebub last impression:

My one truest love. My favourite biggest boi. My sweet pumpkin pie. I love him. I love him. I love him. I love him. I'm completely not normal about him! I can't be, he drives me insane. Fucking BIG!

Belphegor first impression:

My first crush actually! He's just so pretty, and soft spoken and angry and he's so fucking romantic when he wants to be. He blows me away. And the fact that he is fine with me wanting his twin too? My god could he be anymore perfect.....

Belphegor last impression:

Hehe now my second crush! His twin takes first place. Still everything the same as first impression, but like X10 because he killed me. *Swoons* don't ask me to explain, it's obvious.

Would love to hear your first/last impressions too Yan! Or anyone's actually 😂

Third (?) Re-watch in progress - Bad Buddy - first 7 minutes

Okay, I'm torn between blogging this re-watch - and wanting to make sure I get this whole re-watch done before Bad Buddy disappears from YouTube. But these first 7 minutes before the opening credits are such genius that I have to blog something before settling in to watch two or three eps in a row this evening.

My review of Stay By My Side is going to have to wait a few days as well. While I enjoyed it, there is more going on in these 7 minutes than in that entire series. Okay, maybe an exaggeration. Okay, definitely an exaggeration. But that series didn't send me running directly to Tumblr's Create button and these first 7 minutes did.

All of this is from Episode 1 [1/4], before the credits:

1:09 Okay, I didn't know yet (on first watch) that this is one of the two mains (and that Wai isn't), but, damn, Pat (unnamed as yet, unless Korn said it in Thai and it got subbed as an English pronoun as often happens in Thai series) looks like a tough guy. We learn later about him having to sleep with his Nong Nao doll and otherwise being a softie, but he does have this tough side as well.

1:59-2:23 Love the audio in this series. Watch what they do with the sound: dramatic classical music as Pran opens and arranges his drawing kit, until his friend interrupts him and we get the sound of a phonograph arm scraping across vinyl then just the dialog. (Would the main audience for this series even know that sound I know all too well?)

2:33-2:42 But when Pran hears it's Wai in the fight, suddenly we hear a heavily distorted metal guitar riff which continues until Pran takes the first earbud out at which point it suddenly cuts off. Hmm, technically I'd consider that an edit error. I'd expect the volume to drop when he takes the first one out and cut off when he takes the other out. But that's a nitpick. Audio-wise, it's a great choice.

2:41-2:45 We actually saw a glimpse of Pran's OCD starting at 1:59 when he was neatly arranging his drawing kit, but now we really see it as, despite being under time pressure, he takes out his earbuds and carefully stows them. (Earbuds will play an important role in the first few episodes.)

2:50-3:57 This fight is so chaotic and disorganized. This is where my bestie decided she had no interest in this series, although I did eventually convince her to watch episode 5 [1/4], [2/4], and [4/4]. Also thinking about how I didn't know at first watch that Ohm is skilled in martial arts. Don't know about any of the other actors but hope they had a good fight coach to keep them safe.

3:24-3:29 Funny to think the actor playing Wai is a doctor in real life.

4:13-4:17 And suddenly everything comes to a stop when Pat and Pran see each other face to face.

4:18-5:54 For all the Tumblr discussion in which the first 4 episodes are seen as being primarily from Pran's point of view, then episode 5 being Pat's, it's an interesting choice to start their introduction as being the main characters with Pat's view of Pran. Interleaving the shots of their life now with shots of their life in grade school and high school establishes immediately that they have a long history, as well as their history of competition and their parents' clashes.

5:54 Bringing the focus back to the two of them as main characters.

5:55-7:00 And continuing the introduction.

6:11-6:14 Lol at the Buddhist monks eye-rolling at the mothers' competition.

7:00-7:11 And now the fight is Pat and Pran one-on-one. And we go to the opening credits.

Whew! Can I just say the editors are brilliant? Not one wasted second.

I don't get reaction videos and have no interest in watching them. But I guess there is something to be said about being able to share my reaction to each moment.

Okay, I'm going to have to lock my keyboard while I watch this. Going back to moment zero so I can watch this uninterrupted.

Second Last Batch of Party Pics, I Promise

When the Wildfangs Alpha is bubbling over with Fury, they... get down in the greenhouse with little old ladies? (ngl this was actually kind of cute)

By that FLIRTY gesture as he sits next to Wolfgang, Joaquin looks eager to become a werewolf 'ally.'

You know that you're one of the cool kids when you start a party within a party (partyception?), and so Agatha and Rory began to develop a following.

Lilith unfortunately appears to have also experienced the saddening effect of a flat juice. Or maybe she forgot that she can no longer consume regular food and is looking for the nearest available party bush?

With the addition of Simeon Silversweater, however, the Greenhouse Crowd decided that they were no longer exclusive enough to be cool and soon disbanded.

(Joaquin so looks like he's judging the moves. I can't xD)

The Vatores and Agatha took advantage of the quieter atmosphere to play a few rounds of DON'T WAKE THE LLAMA. (This is the Yeti variant from the Little Campers kit, which seems the most fitting for an Occult party.)

Meanwhile Rory let loose a howl or three to rid themselves of some Fury (definitely better out than in, in this case).

Which started off a chain reaction among the other sometimes quadrupeds.

Grace Anansi was terrified, in spite of Lou's reassurances.

"Guys, it's just werewolves out here doing our thing, yanno?"

While Theodora, perhaps because she possesses the WEREWOLF ALLY trait, appeared to be kind of... into it?

She wasn't alone.

When you lock eyes with someone else at a party, realise that you have the same kink, and silently agree to become besties.

Rory appeared less than 'whelmed' with Wolfgang's vocal chops.

"Join the Wildfangs, Runt, and we'll teach you how to really howl..."

He decided to impress with some press ups instead.

Lou looks as stunned as the rest of us that there wasn't more Drama. There were dirty dishes aplenty though.

In the battle for the already-receptive ally Joaquin's soul, Rory appears to be convincing him to join the Wild(fangs) side. He conceded that they did have a marginally better wardrobe.

Steady on, ladies. That one's taken.

And Lou rounded out an otherwise good night by realising that he maaay have left the stove on at home. (Seriously, that's what his face looks like to me? xD)

Worth The Risk: Chapter 2

AN: You know what I love in stories like this? CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!

Ol' Sasu can't be a great guy right off the bat, or else things would be boring, right?

Right, guys?

…Guys?

Anyway, please keep that in mind for the first half of this story.

ALSO, I'll switch back and forth from Sasuke and Sakura's POV, so we can experience BOTH sides of the story.

Don't like that?

I wanna say tough titties because I should be confident and strong, but I want people to like me and this fic, so….uh….Please give it a chance? Ha!

Thanks for reading! :D

Sakura's spirits were lower than low as she allowed Ino to pull her toward the bar at some club one week after being fired from Oasis. She wasn't successful in procuring a job, even after her self-imposed deadline. So, after explaining the situation to her new friend, the woman was convinced to come out drinking before she left.

The bus ticket to Konoha was for next week, Monday, eight days away. All her belongings were packed and ready to go except her clothes.

"The drinks are on me tonight, Bestie! Let's get shit-faced!" Karin, who'd also tagged along, shared an excited grin with Ino as they flagged down the bartender and submitted a drink order.

She stood there, feeling uncomfortable and depressed in the otherwise lively environment. Music was playing so loudly that they had to almost yell to hear one another, and the bass vibrated her ribcage each time it hit.

It was like she saw herself in a third-person point of view as the trio of women took shots of tequila, following them up with the classic dash of salt and lime.

"Geez, you didn't even flinch, Saku. Lighten up a little. It'll be alright. We'll keep in touch, right Karin?"

It was apparent the two Otogakure women were trying to cheer her up by any means necessary, and if the situation wasn't as bleak as it was, Sakura might've teared up at that kindness.

"Sorry. I'm just going to miss you guys, is all."

"Well, if you mean that, let's make this the best night ever!"

Feeling guilty for not being completely honest about why she was so upset about returning home to Konoha, Sakura allowed them to pressure her into taking many more shots. Two hours later, just after midnight, all three women were thoroughly inebriated.

Karin was the first to abandon the group, having recognized a boy she'd gone to high school with who apparently had the glow-up of the century. She excused herself with a determination to seduce him. With a body and face akin to that of a lingerie model, Sakura didn't doubt the redhead would succeed, especially judging by the pink on the white-haired man's face when he noticed her approaching.

Ino and the pinkette danced and drank for half an hour before a familiar-looking man with black hair and pale skin approached, asking if the blonde would like to dance.

'Oh! I think that's the guy she was flirting with at Oasis! He was there on my first day and the Friday after that. Ino said he's hot. I should make sure she knows it's okay. I'd hate to ruin her chances,' Sakura covertly grinned with a slight nod when her drinking partner glanced uncertainly her way.

She mouthed, "Thank you," before allowing the man to take her hand and lead her back to the dance floor.

So, the Haruno woman was on her own, sipping some sort of mixed drink that burned the back of her throat, though she'd grown numb to the sensation since she was drunk. She turned to lean her back against the bar, searching the crowd for her two friends to see how they were fairing.

A knowing grin tugged at her lips when she saw Karin pulling her target through the crowd toward the exit with a triumphant expression. They were obviously going home together.

Ino was beaming as she danced excitedly with her crush, who looked at her like she was the most exciting thing on the planet. Either he was just as drunk as her or liked the blonde a lot. Maybe it was both reasons.

Sighing blissfully, Sakura turned back toward the counter and tossed back the rest of her drink. Her friends were right. The negative emotions weren't nearly as overwhelming in her inebriated state. She didn't feel as awkward as usual sitting alone at the bar in a packed dance club. Instead, she felt warm and happy.

"What's a beautiful woman like you doing alone up here?" Sakura's spine straightened when a low, attractive voice came behind her.

Turning in her seat, the breath in her throat became stuck when dark, expressive eyes locked onto hers. The rest of the man was just as stunning. His black hair had that naturally tousled look that came off as attractive rather than messy, his jawline was so sharp it could likely cut diamonds, and his lips looked soft as they turned up into a small, flirty grin. His high-end, dark clothing suited him to a tee, too.

On any other day, Sakura would've been terrified to be in the presence of a strange man, especially one this tall and fit, but she threw caution to the wind because she was determined to have a good night no matter what, "I was waiting for a handsome guy like you to come change that."

'Oh my God, Sakura Haruno. You totally just flirted, and it wasn't a complete failure! Maybe you've still got it after all these years!'

The man lifted a sleek eyebrow, placing a hand on the counter's edge and leaning in so she could hear him better, "Is that right? Allow me to end your suffering. Let's go."

A small smile met the woman's lips as he offered a hand, and she paused only for a moment to think about it before accepting and allowing him to guide her out to the floor. Once in a spot that he found appropriate, the pair danced.

Drunk and carefree, a song or two later, Sakura turned around, a wave of satisfaction and arousal rolling up her insides when his hands found her hips and guided her back against him, where they moved sensually to the beat.

That tantalizing voice met her right ear as his lips appeared beside it, his breath tickling her skin, "I didn't expect you to be so good at this."

Bravely, she ran a hand up into his hair on the back of his head, turning her neck slightly so he could lean further where his ear was toward her, "Really? Did you only ask me to dance because you pitied me sitting up there all alone?"

An attractive chuckle vibrated through his chest against her back, "You're not here alone, Baby. I saw you with your friends earlier. I just waited for the right time to come over."

Sakura's breath hitched when his hands moved slowly up from her hips to her waist, long fingers squeezing slightly as though trying to memorize the curves. Her eyes closed, head falling back slightly to rest against his shoulder with a knowing smirk, "What a stalker! Should I run?"

He buried his face in the crook of her neck, kissing it once before wooing into her damp skin, "If so, I'll chase you."

Not knowing what to say to such blatant flirting, Sakura just laughed, arching her neck a little so he'd have better access to it. Taking the hint, he kissed her again, lips brushing her skin as he moved them up to her ear, where he whispered, "Tell me your name. Mine is-"

Sakura sat up with a gasp, looking around in a panic only to realize she was in bed at her apartment. A swift breath sucked in past her lips when a throbbing headache suddenly hit. She lifted a hand to her temple, groaning. 'What happened last night? I was dancing with some guy, and then everything just goes blank.'

Green eyes widened, and the woman dropped her hand, lifting the blanket to verify she wasn't naked and becoming dizzy upon realizing she was wearing a man's dark blue button-up shirt and her undergarments, nothing else. Instantly, tears were rolling heavily down her cheeks.

'Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I slept with that guy, didn't I? How could I be so stupid?' Pausing in her anxiety attack, she looked at the empty spot on the other side of the bed, 'Wait a minute…Where is he? Did he really leave without taking his shirt back? And did we use protection? I don't have enough money for emergency contraceptives right now!'

Her hectic thoughts went blank when she noticed a small piece of paper on her nightstand. Picking it up with trembling fingers, her pulse heightened further. It said, "Call me when you wake up. -Sasuke," followed by a phone number.

Sakura immediately grabbed her phone and dialed "Sasuke's" number. When she realized she should probably take a moment to calm down and gather herself, it was too late because a familiar voice came from the device, "Hello?"

"U-Um, hi. Is this Sasuke?" The girl covered her face with one hand, cursing herself for sounding so obviously upset and lame.

"Oh, hey. You're the girl from last night, right? Did you really call me the moment you woke up? I'm flattered."

She moved the device away to look at the screen and realized it wasn't even nine in the morning yet, which was very early after the night of partying the pair had done. Mortified, she stammered, deciding to get the information she needed and get off the phone because it wasn't like she'd ever see him again anyway, "Yes, I…. I want to ask you something. Did we, um…. Were we careful last night, or…?" Her voice betrayed her, wavering and cracking as she fell into tears again.

'I can't believe I let something like this happen. I've only ever slept with one other person in my life. This was too reckless.'

There was a long pause, "Careful? What're you talking about?"

Sniffling, Sakura squeezed her eyes closed and forced out, "Did you use a condom or not? Please just answer the question so if you didn't, I can…. You know…." A chuckle met her ears, making her frown deepen, "I-Is something funny?"

Sasuke sobered up, sighing amusedly before finally easing her gutwrenching worry, "We didn't fuck, you idiot. Stop crying."

The woman stammered, baffled, "But you were in my apartment, right? Your shirt…."

"Listen, I would've gone through with it if you hadn't passed out. I'm still offended, you know."

For some reason, the pinkette giggled, trying to muffle it with her hand before wiping at her slowing tears, "I fell asleep? How embarrassing…."

"You're embarrassed? How do you think I feel?"

"Sorry! I-I don't remember anything at all, but, um, thank you for making sure I got home safe."

Sakura's eyes widened when she realized she was smiling. Sasuke's unserious, casual responses comforted her somehow. It'd been a long time, four years to be exact since it was this easy to talk to a male.

He chuckled again, "I tell you what. Get dinner with me tonight, and I'll consider forgiving you."

The woman's grin fell. 'Does he want to meet up because we didn't sleep together last night, and he wants to try his luck again?'

"It'd be cool if we hooked up after; I know that's probably what you're worried about, and I won't say no if you offer, but I actually just want my shirt back. It was a gift from my brother; otherwise, I'd let you keep it. I just figured we could grab a bite while we're out."

Reassured, Sakura hesitantly agreed, "Um, okay then. Where should I meet you?"

'What's the harm in getting dinner with him? I'll be on a bus to Konoha next week anyway, and I won't have anything to eat today if I don't accept.'

So, she cleaned the shirt carefully, following the instructions on its tag, showered, dressed, and killed time until the afternoon when it was time to meet Sasuke.

Sakura was a few minutes late when arriving at the address she'd been given but received a text while approaching the restaurant building, saying he was also running behind. So, rather than awkwardly sit at a table by herself inside, she leaned against the side of the building and scrolled through apps on her phone while waiting. She also texted her date to let him know so he'd approach her when he arrived.

'I can't remember what his face looks like, but I do know he was handsome. Will I even recognize him when he gets here? Knowing me, I'm going to make a fool out of myself. I haven't gone on a date in years, after all. What kind of twenty-one-year-old am I?'

She knew why she was the way she was but refused to dwell on the reason, for it'd ruin her mood and make her want to abandon their plans.

"Hey, I'm here. Let's go in. It's freezing."

Sakura stood straight, gaze lifting from her phone to the familiar voice at her side, only to lay eyes on the dark-haired asshole that'd gotten her fired from Oasis. Fear flooded her entire body, the small bag containing the man's shirt falling to the ground as she shakily took a few steps away.

Sasuke lifted a brow, "What's wrong with you?"

'...He doesn't recognize me. Do I tell him? If I do, he might hurt me. He was pissed the last time I saw him, after all. Should I try to run? What if he chases me? I should just make an excuse and get out of here before he figures it out.'

"I-I….Something came up, so I can't stay. Goodbye!"

She turned and began walking quickly down the alleyway from the intimidating man, only for him to jog up and grab her wrist, "What's your problem?"

Terror locked the woman's limbs, and she tugged weakly at her wrist, remembering how tightly he'd squeezed it at the bar that night. She couldn't even turn to face him. "P-Please let go. I really need to get out of here."

"You might be the worst liar I've ever met. At least look me in the eye. Don't be fuckin' rude."

When she didn't obey his command, he grabbed her shoulder and forced her to turn, lightly shoving her against the alleyway wall and leering down at her with that dreadful glare. The act triggered memories of her ex-boyfriend doing the same thing, which brought tears to Sakura's eyes as she looked helplessly up at Sasuke.

It was like a rabbit staring a wolf in the mouth.

He didn't appear to care that she was scared and growled, "Tell me what your problem is. It can't be that you aren't attracted to me, so what is it?"

If she wasn't trembling like a leaf and fearing for her life, Sakura would've scoffed at his egotistical statement. 'He won't let me go until I tell him the truth. I just hope he doesn't cause too much damage. I can't afford to go to the hospital.'

"You really don't remember me?"

His glare faltered only slightly, "What?"

Sakura tried to shove his hand off her shoulder, failing, "We met before last night, about a week ago at Oasis. I-I, um, I poured-" "The new girl! Fuck, I knew you looked familiar! There aren't a lot of people walking around with pink hair."

His nonchalant attitude briefly triggered the woman's anger from that day, and she muttered, "Well, I got fired because of you, so if you'll kindly let go. I don't want to see your face for another second."

Sasuke scoffed, his grip tightening rather than releasing as he leered at her with a similar aura as when she'd freshly poured wine on his head, "You think I'm going to let you go after what you did? I told you I'd make you regret it, didn't I?"

"What did you expect? I repeatedly told you to stop, but you kept on! You're so-!" Sakura's statement was cut off when the man's other hand suddenly lifted to wrap around her neck, making the blood drain from her face.

He hissed, "Woman or not, this won't do. Should I teach you a lesson? Not only did you disrespect me, but you did it in front of others."

"Hey, yo, is that you, Sasuke? What's up, man!"

The pair looked toward the alleyway entrance where the restaurant entrance was. It was Hidan, the silver-haired man at the bar that night, too. A gorgeous woman with blueish-purple hair and a tall man with orange hair were beside him.

Without wasting a moment, Sakura took advantage of the distraction and slipped out of Sasuke's grasp, taking off in a sprint and not looking back, even when the man yelled, "Hey, wait!"

She ran until her legs felt like jelly and her lungs were on fire. Thankfully, when she looked around, it was clear they hadn't followed her this far. 'What should I do? He knows where I live!' With no choice, the woman dialed up Ino, panickedly speaking, when the blonde answered, "Can I stay at your place for a few nights?"

"Holy shit! It's packed!" Hidan exclaimed as the group of men entered Rainism, the only respectable club on the east side of Otogakure.

Sasuke was in a foul mood, not bothering to respond as they headed to the bar.

A few guys there appeared to recognize them and vacated the area, leaving just the right amount of space for them to sit and order drinks. The Uchiha man was pissed because his crazy ex-girlfriend, one of many, had slit the tires on his car. Not only that, but the replacements had to be ordered, so he couldn't drive it for a few days.

"It's just a car, Bro. Get yourself some action tonight, and get over it," Akatsuki's resident loudmouth barked.

He bit back, "She's lucky she's with Kimimaru, or I'd kill that bitch."

'If I piss him off, he'll go to his boss and start shit between the families.'

"Yeah, that's fucked up. Tayuya has a new dude but still tries to mess around with you. What a slut," Sasori mused, fingering a strand of his boyfriend's long hair.

"That's rich, coming from you. Didn't you do something similar to Kankuro after you guys broke up? You're even the one who dumped him! Psychopath," Hidan laughed, pinkish-purple eyes surveying the establishment.

Deidara snickered, "That was my idea. Don't give him all the credit, hm."

"Ugh, whatever. Shut up so I can focus."

Sasuke sipped the bitter-tasting whisky in his glass, absently gazing around the large room since there was nothing else to do. He didn't even want to come here tonight, but the other three wouldn't leave him the hell alone until he agreed.

'I'm pretty sure, between Hidan and me, we've fucked every woman in this building. We might've even done a few together,' the man guessed, not feeling as amused as he normally would.

What could he say? Akatsuki members aren't shy about sex. Hell, he couldn't count on his fingers the number of times he'd walked into the kitchen or living room back home to see people shamelessly hooking up for any and all to watch.

"Yo, Sasuke. Look, three o'clock."

Snapped out of his daze, the man looked across the bar to his right to see a group of three women in the dimly lit club: one redhead and two blondes. If his mind served, they weren't in his little black book. His dark eyes trailed over each of them before smirking, "Dibs on the skinny one."

Hidan laughed, "Why her? I'll take the blonde with bigger tits."

As confidently as always, Sasuke lifted his glass and gestured toward the woman in question, "Look at her, Dumbass. It's the shy ones that're the craziest in bed." Though that's true, he added, thinking, 'Not to mention she's fucking sexy. Who gives a damn if she has small tits? Boobs are boobs.'

He was self-aware, so he knew how much of a douchebag he was most of the time. The thing is, he was also attractive and rich enough to get away with it, so why change? Either women like being talked down to and degraded, or they get angry by it, which makes the sex that much better. It's a win-win situation. To this day, he'd never once been rejected, even if they didn't like his personality.

So, Sasuke watched and waited. The redhead was the first to leave the group. When Hidan began making his way over to make a move on the one with bigger tits, another guy got there first, making Sasuke, Deidara, and Sasori laugh.

When the silver-haired man returned, he was pissed, "Laugh it up, shitheads. Let's see you do better."

Never one to turn down a challenge, he rose, "Watch and learn."

When he approached, he took in the curve of her turned back, feeling satisfied when he realized that she made up for what she lacked in bust in other places. "What's a beautiful woman like you doing alone up here?"

The woman turned, only to pause with wide eyes when she saw him. At first, Sasuke smirked knowingly because it was obvious she found him attractive, but then he was the one taken aback. Upon taking a closer look, the girl was even more gorgeous. The deep, emotional twinkle in her green eyes, the way the lights ever-so-slightly reflected off the lipgloss on her plump lips, and even the soft flush of her skin was attractive.

"Waiting for a handsome guy like you to come change that."

'And her voice isn't all high-pitched and nasally like most women try to make it when speaking to guys. Thank fuckin' God.'

Sasuke came closer, barely able to contain his pride, when it was apparent he made her nervous, "Is that so? Allow me to end your suffering. Let's go."

Now, Sasuke's notion that the woman was shy didn't change, but he was still completely taken aback by how naturally she moved with and against him. It made him think it was correct to assume she'd be an interesting lay, which upped his attraction. He said and did his usual thing, and she responded as expected.

After taking a cab to her place, the Uchiha man allowed her to pull him up the steps and into an unbelievably small apartment.

The moment the door was shut behind them, he grabbed her keys, phone, and purse, tossing them onto the counter before pulling her into a deep kiss, to which she responded smoothly. A soft sigh came from the woman when he slid his tongue past her lips.

'That's pretty. I wonder what other sounds she makes.'

The pair slowly made their way to the bed, where he reached around to unzip her dress while she unbuttoned his shirt with unsteady fingers. To his surprise, once she was in her bra and underwear, she slid his shirt off and expertly slid it onto her arms, gasping out between kisses, "You smell amazing."

He hadn't expected her to be so bold, at least not yet.

Chuckling, he picked her up and moved them further onto the bed until her hair fell messily about the pillows. She unbuckled his belt, moving to unbutton and unzip his pants as he tasted the skin of her neck and shoulder, small sounds of appreciation meeting the air that seemed as sweet as honey to Sasuke's ears.

Her body was as nice as he expected, her skin soft to the touch, and whatever shampoo or perfume she used was floral and pleasant. There wasn't anything the man hadn't encountered before. There was still something a little different about her, though. He couldn't put his finger on it and didn't intend to let her sleep tonight until he figured out what it was.

Her abdomen's firm, feminine muscles flexed under his fingers as she pressed up against him, her voice airy and sensual, "Your hands…."

He cooed into her skin, becoming more anxious to continue with each passing moment, "You like my hands, do you?"

She gasped when he pressed against her, between her legs, "They're scary."

Sasuke's eyes opened, and he slowed what he was doing, 'Scary? Why'd she say that right now? …Must be the alcohol.'

Suddenly, he realized she'd stopped responding to his stimulations and pulled back, only for his mouth to open slightly in disbelief, "Are you asleep?" One of her small hands was cupping his against her waist, the other falling from his shoulder to rest against the pillow.

'She is! What the fuck! Who just falls asleep in the middle of hooking up?'

He sat back on his knees, dark eyes taking in the incredibly sensual sight of her lying there in his open shirt, the dark color contrasting beautifully with her milky skin. Glancing down, his brow furrowed as he took in how her legs bent over his hips and how his dick begged to be released from his clothes.

For just a moment, he thought about it but shook his head, sighing defeatedly and climbing off the bed, 'That's a line even I won't cross.'

Turning the lamp atop the nightstand on, he studied the unconscious girl while fixing his pants and buckling his belt.

"...Pink…." She wasn't blonde. The lights in the club had masked the pastel hue of her long hair.

'Now that I'm really looking at her, she seems familiar. Have I met her somewhere before?' Sasuke pondered for a moment before giving up, sitting on the edge of the bed while writing a note on the small pad of paper beside the lamp, glancing at her defenseless face occasionally.

'She must play some kind of sport since she has a lot of scars. I didn't take her for the type.'

Finally, he gave up and summoned a cab. Shutting and locking the apartment door before stepping out, running a stressed hand through his messy hair. The driver gave him an odd look when he climbed, shirtless, into the backseat but didn't mention it.

'I'll use it as an excuse to see her again.'

[cee-grice]

this will be so unserious because if i try to take this seriously i will spontaneously combust

Okay first some terms and explanations:

Venemagiks (pronounced with a g as in good)—people who are born part human, part magical creature. Their traits can vary from as mild as having some cool horns, to as severe as having their skeleton on the outside, same with magical abilities. For some it's a blessing, for a some a curse, 'cause they'd rather not catch fire in direct sunlight, you get me!!

Transmutation—I know you know what transmutation is, but in the context of this story, it works by deconstructing material at the molecular level and thus is more science than magic, really

Human transmutation—pretty self-explanatory, but important note: it is ILLEGAL!! because it's TOO DIFFICULT!! the chances of success are so astronomically low that you'll probably kill whoever you're trying to transmute so it is AGAINST THE LAW to even TRY!!

Magia (again with that same g)—the physical element in the air using which people can Do Magic

There are three types of casters: mages—academics who've studied the discipline and have a license to wield a magia conductor, 'cause otherwise you can't Do Magic; priests—they're devoted to certain deities and have access to magia through them (these communities rarely mix); freecasters—mostly some magical creatures that are innate spellcasters and can just Do Magic through their bodies, and some venemagiks can also inherit this trait

POV Characters!!

Quilin d'Alisso

a transmutation mage, certified Expert in his field

tortured genius™

decided he's Good Enough to do human transmutation with the help of his besties because it is, in theory, the only way to help venemagiks who need that help

well he was right and thus became the first ever Former venemagik

can't really hide that fact so the academy he was part of was like ">:000 ok you did it to urself so we're gonna let u off with a warning BUT YOU GOT LUCKY AND DON'T ATTEMPT THIS SHIT ON OTHERS"

guess what he did lmao

anyways things did go wrong eventually, because of course they did, and he got the ye olde exile hammer

it was either that or execution for his crimes so... i mean....

oh boy did it this whole thing give him trauma tho aha :)

he swears off ever doing this shit again, some years pass, a cute boy comes along, asks for help really really nicely, and, well, you know

and then HE DIES

but don't worry he gets better

anyways he's a bit of a bastard man, 'it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission', absolutely in love with said cute boy (coming up) and that uh causes some problems, his sense of humor involves threats of medical malpractice

i initially planned for him to be the deuteragonist but then i got obsessed and so he got promoted

some general info: trans guy, 28-29, blind without his glasses, comes from high society, pastel palette (prefers pink for hair), lost an arm in the Incident

Endra Velion

mentioned cute boy

actual babyboy, the sweetest ever, kinda immature

neurodivergent as hell

a venemagik, only kinda a weird one... has a sentient parasite in his body that is slowly eating away at said body and mind (looks like obsidian is spreading over his skin)

at the point where he finds Quil, he no longer has a FACE, so.... man's suffering a little

is a freecaster because of it tho!!

also he doesn't need to breathe, eat, or drink because of it, 'cause the parasite wants his body to remain alive....

doesn't mean he doesn't feel the need to, because i'm evil sorry

his past isn't as dramatic, he lived in a secluded community established and ran by his mom, consisting purely of venemagiks that feel unsafe living with the general population because of their quirks and stuff

he did have to run away from it, though, 'cause his mom is vehemently against seeking any mages or priests out for help (because of....reasons....)

anyways he manages to convince Quil to help him yay

falls for Quil very hard, he's obsessed (affectionate)

an artist, loves to play the piano, draw (when uh he was able to see at least), learns how to cook for Quil too 'cause god knows he does not feed himself well, also a big cat enthusiast (adopts the first stray he comes across rip)

he is also illiterate

so basically this dynamic is 'guy who has an entire library in his basement and is obsessed with books x guy who does not know how to fucking read'

some general info: cis guy, 24-25, tall, wears mostly simple earthy clothing, (dark) hair bun gang

next time i'm gonna go over some other relevant characters that play major roles in the present timeline, 'cause what i talked about here mostly concerns the past one lol

[thot-writes]

girlies idk if any of nyall have played tailor tales but im playing it rn bc apparently this one dude (dimitri) is supposed to be “””submissive””” but …. i have so many thoughts abt this im gonna rant

SPOILERS FOR TAILOR TALES DIMITRI ROUTE

ok im not finished yet but im in the climax (haha) of the story and girls girls girls i am so fuckin peeved off

first of all!!! 1) i would not call this a submissive route by a long shot. it still has every single otome trope of “omg he’s a man…” “he so tall and strong 😳😳” “it’s kinda weird that im 4 years older than him 😖”

like yes he’s shy and blushes a lot but that’s lichrally like the only submissive trait about him? once he gets horned up he “”switches your positions”” and becomes dominant, holding ur wrists down and shit and im sitting here tapping my watch like that judge judy gif waiting for an opportunity to be a dominant MC in my dominant MC route. like what?? who could possibly think that he’s submissive in this route??

2) when MC’s crusty ex boyfriend & his gf come harassing the MC for some reason her dumb ass thinks it’s “a bit excessive” to get security cameras inside and outside her boutique?? bitch huh?? they’re sending u mail and wrecking ur flowers and shredding ur packages and u think it’s a bit excessive??? first one to die in a horror movie syndrome right here girls

3) i get that some people like this but i HAAATE the slow burn “why am i jealous of him hanging out w other girls?” “why am i flustered when he’s shirtless?” type bullshit like im curious are people actually that dumb irl?? like babe ur either horny or in love it’s not fucking rocket science

4) on top of this, dimitri has shown very clear signs that he likes the MC. he even skraight up blurts out “i like you!” like despite the fact he retracts that and covers it up with some dumb “i mean ur a girl and i like girls” excuse im like PLEASE. USE UR BRAIN.

he takes pics of you, he blushes all the time around u, he likes it when u tease him and not ur alpha bestie sarah (god i wish we were sarah), HE HAS A PIC OF U TWO AS HIS SCREENSAVER, and MC is STILL like “wow… does he like me?? am i crazy??”

like yes bitch. ur crazy, but not for the reason u think. ur crazy for being SO DAMN OBLIVIOUS that even dimitri smacking u in the face with a neon sign that says “im in love with u” wouldn’t be enough to convince u!!

5) MC’s too polite 👿 when i think dominant i think someone who’s not afraid to stand up for shit when they think it’s right, and when dimitri gets slapped by his own mother instead of beating her senile ass into mince meat you’re STILL CORDIAL WITH HER???!!!

i’d be dragging her out of my damn shop by her karen haircut i can tell u that fucking much!!

6) on top of all that….. keep in mind that MC and dimitri have made out like four times at this point and just a few minutes earlier dimitri LITERALLY SAID “you’re special to me” SOMEHOW AIRHEAD MC IS STILL SURPRISED WHEN HE CONFESSES HIS LOVE FOR HER!!???!!!??

i seriously…. im … fucking seriously i couldn’t. there have been so many points in this story where im like “bitch are you dumb?” but this was takemichi-throwing-away-his-only-weapon-in-a-gang-fight dumb. as in i had to literally stand up from my computer, pace my room, and contemplate my existence because i just don’t understand what the fuck is going on in here on this day

i got so frustrated from that moment that that’s what spurred me to write this rant. i lichrally don’t think i could calm down otherwise because i am just in absolute awe at the sheer brainlessness of this MC. the current line of dialogue that remains frozen on my screen is “He what now?!”

also just an unrelated pet peeve but man i wish people who were horny for each other would just fuckin act on it more. MC is mad horny for dimitri and she just criticises herself for being a “horny teenager” when she’s only twenty-fucking-three dude??? does MC think that 23 year olds don’t fuck??? why is she acting like she’s retirement age or some shit?? fuck it, even old cunts in retirement are getting pussy! why does she think it’s so shameful to be horny as a 23 YEAR OLD???!!!

don’t get me wrong though. i still like the game, i love the fashion maker part of it and indie games w this much effort should always be supported imo. but im just disappointed that i went into this game expecting it to be a different spin on the same tired otome tropes we’ve seen over and over and instead it’s just regurgitating every single cliche

absolutely no hate on the dev(s?) this is just my critique of it— calling dimitri a submissive route just bc he blushes & can cook is a complete wrong move. he’s not submissive, MC is not dominant (just cheeky), and i doubt any predominantly dom fans would see them as such. the entire route gives me the vibe of “a predominantly submissive person trying — and failing — to write a dominant one”

no shame or shade if u can’t do that btw, we all have our strengths, im sure i would suck shit at writing a submissive MC if i were making an otome. but it’s like… either commit to the bit and learn how to write dominant MCs better, or stick to ur strengths and continue writing submissive ones.

anyway sorry for the wall of text i just had to vent my frustrations. it is SEVERELY disheartening to get ur hopes up for some good rep and instead getting….. whatever this is

that being said if anyone of nyall like fashion and don’t mind being a *cough* sub *cough* i do recommend tailor tales, it’s on steam for anyone who’s interested!

❓ — three adjectives that describe you

Lively, proud, and witty.

✈️ — ever traveled anywhere interesting?

No, dude. I'm so freaking boring. One time I went to San Diego and only told like three people about it? So you could IMAGINE the shock when I posted about being there.

🍰 — favorite sweet(s)/dessert(s)?

I just like desserts, man. I'll eat anything at least once. But like if I have to pick, German Chocolate Cake.

📕 — favorite book/series?

My favorite book to book is Vamped by David Sosnowski.

🧶 — any non-writing hobbies/interests?

I like video games and playing on the floor with my daughter, but otherwise I'm a very boring at home person LMAO

🗒 — what is/are your favorite genre(s)/theme(s) to write?

Fuck IT UP. For someone who hates romance movies, I love a good written romance-- sucker for it, but I also love thriller and horror. Both come with their own angst and I'm all for that.

💖 — what was one of the greatest/happiest moments you’ve had in the rpc?

Something similar to what @horrour said, but the server. The H.atchetfield group server is literally my baby child after my daughter and pets (sorry nerds). But like. It's fucking fantastic. I have never been in a successful group server before and have always been scared to try them again, but my hope kept popping in wanting it to be real... so I convinced Kels it was a good idea and we made it. Now I have friends I never knew I needed and writing partners that are so fucking talented. I love that server. I'm so happy it exists.

💯 — share three random facts about yourself that your mutuals may not know about you.

I can lick my elbow.

I've 'dated' two youtubers from the same group and wow was that dramatic. No, I won't go into details and no, I won't explain 'dated'.

In other 'celeb' news, I was besties with a big time dude's daughter once before she got mad at me for encouraging the dude she was banging to go back to his wife (he wanted to work towards that). Now I can't enjoy any content her father is in.

[not-close-to-straight]

Chapter four!!! This is super out of order, sorry

Oh man it really encapsulated how it feels to live in the wake of a Bad Thing.

To be the person it's done to, to be the person who did it. Billy living with that guilt, Steve living with the hurt and rejection, and still having to see the person who hurt him... it's just. Ugh.

The leveraging fake treats thing is fucking awful. And Billy recognizing it makes me so proud of him but it's immediately replaced with fear because even though he's right and he's justified in calling it out, and he KNOWS that, it just makes it worse.

The way Neil smiles when he succeeds in goading Billy into lashing out makes me sick.

Steve and the kids!! I like how you always write him as such a mama bear, because duh, but the flavor varies between fics. I loved Max trying (failing) to walk in her first pair of heels. Such a part of growing up lol

Also interested to see Shitty Teenagers Tommy and Carol grow up some. And I don't blame Tommy for being enraptured by Billy's beauty. I get it, man.

The picture of Steve!! Steve is genuinely wanted and he can't even know about it because it's not safe. And I don't know which would hurt Steve more. Knowing the pining is mutual and nothing can be done about it, so it never really ends and you never really get rid of that painful glimmer of hope....... or the definite breaking off and rejection.

(I forgot to finish answering Chapter 4 asks before posting Chatper five ughhhhh)

I tried really hard to show both sides of the grief, because yes Billy is the one who hurt Steve but its out of a sense of self preservation and desperation that had quite literally been beat into him so.. he's hurting himself too. So not only is Billy hurt but he's also GUILTY. Whereas Steve is hurt but also LOST. Billy has all the answers and Steve has none of the answers but neither can do anything about it.

I've 100% been in the "I was going to do THIS THING for you but you did THIS THING so now I'm not going to do it" situation and let me tell you... recognizing it and calling it out and KNOWING that the nice thing didn't actually exist...doesn't make it feel any better. Because there's always a tiny tiny part of us that wonders "wait what if this time it was real" and that's usually the same tiny part that keeps people going back to abusers or too afraid to leave abusers over and over again.

Re: Neil Smiling. Idk. The first time I watched Stranger Things and saw that scene in Season Two, I went "this motherfucker almost looks like he's looking forward to disciplining his kid" and then the scene went worse than I imagined/implied so many things about their dynamic and history so I was HORRIFIED but I can't ever get that thought out of my head. Neil Hargrove 100% enjoys the power he holds over his son and he 100% enjoys wielding it/trapping Billy into escalating situations and you'll never convince me otherwise.

You can see it when Billy says "yes sir" and Neil forces him to repeat it? Been there, done that and it sucks. Because it's definitely Neil being purposefully antagonizing, rubbing it in just a little bit more that he controls Billy.

The dude is an asshole. So in my fics he'll always smile a little bit before dealing with Billy and in my fics he will always get some sort of comeuppance, whether by way of social call out, physical harm or in some cases, outright death.

Steve IS a Mama Bear. I saw a post recently about how he probably didn't even like the kids until post season three, like there was no way he was really driving them places etc and I just.

Okay yeah he probably wasn't piling them all into his car all the time and buying them ice cream, but CLEARLY he's besties with Dustin at the beginning of 3 and that means he's spent enough time around the Party to know them all pretty well? Plus Mike is Nancy's brother, Steve has definitely driven him and the kids places back when they were dating. You can't tell me any of the Party and assorted teenagers don't offer Will rides just to make sure he doesn't go missing again. And now Max and Lucas are dating and they're always with everyone... you can pry Mother Hen Steve Harrington from my cold crusty hands.

Tommy and Carol are maybe my favorite side characters? There's just so MUCH to unpack there. Why is Steve friends with a couple that has been dating a long time when he doesn't keep girlfriends for very long? Who dated who first? Did he and Carol have a past? Do the three of them hook up? Was Tommy jealous of Nancy and that's why he turned on Steve so quick? SO MUCH TO UNPACK. Like I could write a different version of them in every single fic and probably never run out of ideas. They are FASCINATING.

Billy's picture of Steve... ugh... he's so sad. SO SAD. And yeah, which is it? Is it worse for Steve to know Billy wants him but is too scared to take the chance? Or worse for Steve to continue thinking there's never any hope at all for him and his soulmate??

xxviii: The Gaunlet

Pietro exhaled loudly.

"Thank God! Those were the worst sixty seconds of my life!"

"Did we get 'em all?" Banner inquired.

"Are you telling me this actually worked?" Rhodey smiled.

Clint fell to his knees, everyone noticed someone was missing.

"Clint, where's Nat?"

Cat quickly listed the stones Nat's team had gone after, she felt nauseous.

"No no no," She grabbed the agent by the shoulders. "Tell me she didn't do it..."

He looked at her darkly. Cat pushed herself up, stumbling away from him.

"Hey, hey!" Kurt stopped her, he wrapped his arms around her. "I'm right here. It's okay. It's okay..."

Cat couldn't cry. She tried to, but the shock didn't allow it. If she didn't cry at that moment, then she would cry later on, and maybe then she would not have anyone around to comfort her.

"Do we know if she had family?" Tony asked.

"Yeah," Steve replied weakly. "Us."

"A sister," Cat mumbled. Pietro had replaced Kurt at some point, his arms were tight around her. "She said she would introduce us once this was over..."

"What?" Thor approached them. "What are you doing?

"Just asked them a question," Tony frowned.

"Yeah no, you're acting like she's dead. Why are we acting like she's dead? We have the stones, right? As long as we have the stones, Cap, we can bring her back, isn't that right?"

"You're acting like you know what you're talking about, but you ditched Rocket during your mission," Cat raised her voice. "Now you're trying to tell us how to use the stones—"

"Cat, just drop it," Tony warned her.

"No! Stop this shit! We're the Avengers, get it together!" Thor demanded.

"Can't get her back," Clint intervened quietly.

"What's he... what?"

"It can't be undone," The archer insisted. "It can't."

"Look, I'm sorry, no offense, but you're a very earthly being, okay? And we're talking about space magic. And can't seems very definitive. Don't you think?"

"Even magic has its limits," Pietro said logically. "Otherwise Strange would be here with us, don't you think?"

"I was supposed to be me," Clint's voice quivered. "She sacrificed her life for that goddamn stone. She bet her life on it—"

Banner growled and tossed a bench across the lake, no one batted an eye.

"She's not coming back..." He said weakly. "We have to make it worth it... We have to."

"We will."

"I hate it when our motivation's death," Cat buried her face in Pietro's shoulder. "Why can't it be hugs and kisses?"

"If we bring everyone back, maybe Daredevil will kiss you," Pietro offered numbly.

"Now you ruined it," She stood and looked at the men around her. "Can we at least keep ourselves busy while sinking into the depths of misery?"

Once the gauntlet was ready, everyone held their breaths and stared at it in awe.

"All right, the glove's ready," Rocket muttered. "Question is, who's gonna snap their freaking fingers?"

"I'll do it," Thor offered.

"Excuse me?"

"it's okay."

"Hey, hey, hey, slow down!"

The men gathered around to decide, Kurt teleported to the room.

"Jesus!" Cat placed a hand over her chest. "What the hell is your problem?"

"We gotta talk," He said urgently. "It's important."

"More important than the Gauntlet?" She frowned.

"I was talking to Nebula—"

"What are we gossiping about?" Rocket jumped on her shoulder.

"Don't know, Kurt says it's important."

"You mentioned Nebula," The raccoon squinted. "Is she trying to convince you to hijack the ship? She already tried to do that once—"

"That'd be a shitty move, Kurt, especially since Rocket took us in so willingly," Cat crossed her arms.

"Will you shut up and let me speak!"

"Wait," She interrupted, looking back at the other men. "Banner, what did you just say?"

"He's volunteering," Rhodey responded.

"You sure, big guy?"

"If you ask me, he's the best choice," Rocket nodded, eyeing him up with interest.

"I'll be fine," Banner's gaze was fixed on the gauntlet. "I'll work it out."

Cat didn't dare to joke at such a delicate moment. "Let's get you ready, then."

Rocket jumped off her and she turned to Kurt.

"Ask Pietro to help you with whatever problem you're having, let me know if things get complicated. Can you do that?"

Kurt nodded assuredly. "I will."

She lightly patted his cheek. "Good boy."

"Okay, remember, everyone Thanos snapped away five years ago you're just bringing them back to now, today. Don't change anything from the last five years."

"Got it."

Cat heaved a sigh, Rocket hugged her sideways.

"Ready?" He asked her. "Everyone get ready for impact."

The team activated shields, put on their helmets, and fixed their stances.

"Friday do me a favor now and activate the Barn Door protocol, will ya?"

"Yes, boss."

The windows got covered with metal curtains, the compound was enveloped in an unbreakable iron box.

"Everybody comes home," Banner mumbled, then he put on the gauntlet.

Thor covered her and Rocket with his own body, Bruce fell to his knees in pain.

"I'm okay, I'm okay!" He rasped.

"C'mon, brainy, don't let us down," Cat said through her teeth.

Her inner voice was calling a name she'd avoided uttering for the most part of five years. Now that it was all so close to ending, her tough facade was falling apart. Cat silently admitted that a part of her had always dreamt of this, she'd never given up on hope.

Banner snapped his fingers.

He fell, the gauntlet slipped off and Clint kicked it away from his body, everyone knelt around the scientist.

"Did it work?" He breathed.

"We're not sure. It's okay," Thor said with an anxious yet sweet smile.

Cat brushed the short locks of hair away from Bruce's forehead, measuring his vitals with her watch. "We're proud of you, big guy. Can you tell me how many fingers Rocket's showing you?"

"One," Banner mumbled. "And he's being rude about it."

Rocket lowered his middle finger, a phone started ringing on the desk and Clint ran up to it.

Cat got to her feet. "Who is it?"

Clint took a deep breath and looked up, he blinked back a few tears. "Honey..."

"Guys," Scott said from across the hall. "I think it worked."

Kurt teleported back, his nose was bleeding.

"Nebula!" He gasped. "She brought Thanos!"

A storm of projectiles fell from the sky.

Kurt got her out of the crumbling building with his powers, she tried to run back in.

"What's happening?!"

"I tried to tell you! Nebula wasn't acting like herself!"

"How did this happen?" She coughed. "We need to save the others! Where's Pietro?"

"I don't know!" Kurt stopped her. "I'll go, you stay here!"

"Fuck that!" She yelled. "I can teleport too!"

She put her helmet back on and went away, she was now in the tunnels. Clint was running towards her and behind him, she spotted a few ugly-looking creatures. The mutant tackled him and teleported to the next floor.

"You good?" She examined Clint's face. "Where are the others?"

"I don't know."

"Take care of that," She pointed at the gauntlet.

Clint nodded. "Yeah, alright."

Cat teleported back out.

"Friday, look for Quicksilver's tracker!"

"East wing."

Copycat showed up just in time, a considerable amount of Thanos's army was running up to her brother, who was trapped under a piece of debris.

"Raise your hand if you're having a shitty day!" She exclaimed.

Pietro lifted his and she seized his palm, a second later they were standing in a safer area.

"That was close," He groaned.

She pointed at the new group of aliens sprinting their way. Cat reached for her spear, its sharp ends sprung out. "Ready?"

"I was born ready."

Thunder roared above them.

"Looks like Thor's awake," She smiled.

Pietro ran with Cat copying his powers and following close, more aliens started to jump out of Thanos's ship, and Copy began to feel worried.

"Guys?" Kurt's voice came through. "I can't find Rocket, Rhodey, nor Banner. Their trackers are dead."

"What about Lang?"

"He's moving, but barely."

"And the old men?" She panted, impaling two aliens at the speed of light.

"Found Thor!" Pietro shouted from a distance. "He's... trying!"

"Tony?"

"Out of it!"

"Steve?"

"According to his tracker," Kurt replied. "Right in front of you."

She flew above the mess and spotted Cap laying on his back, his shield was cut into several pieces. A few feet ahead, Thanos stood arrogantly. Cat landed next to the blond man and helped him stand, moments later a blueish light came from above, and from it came out several ships. She stumbled back in shock.

"Guys, are you seeing this..?"

"How could I not?" Kurt asked in a tiny voice.

"Oh, God..." Pietro grimaced.

It was the four of them against a whole army. Her knees buckled, this definitely went beyond her line of expertise.

"C'mon, stand up straight," She urged Steve. "We need you, Cap. You're embarrassing your children."

"I thought you were Tony's," He groaned.

"The whole team adopted us, it doesn't matter," Cat hit his cheek lightly. "Focus! What do we do?"

The man looked down at his injured forearm, he tightened the buckle keeping the shield in place and spoke through gritted teeth.

"We keep going."

Kurt and Pietro found their way to them, the young trio shared a look but none of them dared to say anything. It was very likely that half of their team was dead under tons of debris, and even if the others had returned, it was impossible for them to get there on time.

"Well," She spoke as steady as possible. "It's been an honor, boys."

Steve took a step forward... then stopped. He tilted his head in a way that reminded her of Matt Murdock.

"Cap?"

"Something's happening..." Kurt whispered.

A sizzling noise made her turn and observe with wide eyes as a golden portal opened behind them: Black Panther, his young sister, and Okoye emerged from it. Sam Wilson flew out and circled the team. About thirty portals followed, her heart felt like it was trying to jump out of her chest, she was choking on excitement.

"Oh thank God, I really thought I was about to die!" Kurt grinned. "So which one of these weirdos was your boyfriend?"

Cat didn't have time to answer before Ant-man emerged from the compound's ruins, on his hand he was carrying Hulk, War machine, and Rocket.

"Avengers!" Steve summoned Thor's hammer, which at this point didn't surprise her. "Assemble."

They charged toward the opposite army.

"Is that Pepper?" Cat gasped. "Nice suit!"

"Thanks, kid," The woman answered. "If you're good I'll let you take it for a drive."

"No, no! The Heathen's not allowed to have an Iron suit!" Tony exclaimed.

"You're awake! And a bitch." She scoffed.

"I wanna meet your boyfriend, Mimi!" Kurt whined, he'd vanished from her side at some point.

"I'm busy!" She snapped, then added through gritted teeth. "Give him time, he's incapable of staying out of the way."

Cat tried to focus on the fight even though every bit of her body was begging her to look for Peter. She was impaling aliens with her spear as if they were physical representations of her intrusive thoughts.

She heard him then, his childish, enthusiastic voice:

"...Dr. Strange was there, right? And he was like 'It's been five years. Come on, they need us!' and then he started doing the yellow sparkly thing that he does all the time—"

"They're portals," She clarified, landing next to him and Tony.

The young hero lit up at the sound of her voice. "C.C!"

Tony wrapped the boy in a tight hug.

"Hey, w-what are you doing? Oh..." The boy returned the gesture. "Huh. This is nice."

"Peter," She said weakly, choking on her breath. "It's so good to see you."
