Surprise?
I decided to try writing a small notefic for the au prompt I posted the other day! I may end up writing the actual fic later, but here we go!
A secret relationship au where Talia kidnaps Damian and Mari to get them married to merge the order and the league, but they’re just like “we’re already married though?” And Mari just really wants to punch his mom and finally has the chance
·         Marinette is the guardian in training under her grandpa Fu
·         Her parents think that she visits him often to help him around the house and do tai chi together
·         Marinette meets Damian when he is injured on a mission
·         Marinette heals him
·         Damian is shocked by her kindness
·         The two bond over their mutual stresses as heirs to ancient organizations
·         The two meet whenever he has a mission in Paris
·         The League falls and Damian is sent to Gotham
·         Damian immediately contacts Marinette, but hides her from his family
·         Marinette helps him transition to living outside of the League
·         When they turn 13 Hawkmoth strikes
·         Marinette is a true ladybug and knows Damian is her soulmate and black cat
·         She uses Kaalki to give him the ring while Master Fu chooses other wielders to help her in battle
·         Bee!Chloe! is Golden Stinger
·         She and Marinette are friends because she saw the same scared kid as Damian in Chloe as kids and knew how to reach out
·         They have been inseparable ever since
·         Fox!Adrien is Swiper, because he’s going to swipe Hawkmoth’s miraculous!
·         This name is promptly vetoed by the rest of the team
·         Adrien then goes with Kitsune because he is our smol weeb boy
·         They all immediately know who each other is because they are true wielders, making them platonic soulmates
·         The team is brutal and efficient with Shadow monitoring the battle and running their coms from Gotham
·         Lila still happens, but is more effective in icing Marinette out because she is friends with Chloe
·         Marinette doesn’t care as much as she does in the show because she’s not as close with them
·         Adrien doesn’t bother with trying to appease Lila, he will not abandon Mari or Chloe
·         Lila doesn’t like this and turns her parents against her, so they begin neglecting her
·         Marinette is disappointed, but not surprised since they didn’t spend a lot of time with her anyways
·         Miracle Queen happens, but with Alya instead of Chloe
·         Marinette starts to crack when she is handed guardianship
·         She moves in with Chloe at Le Grand Paris
·         They start building a fashion brand together, Mari as designer and Chloe on the business side
·         Honey Blossom Designs quickly gains traction internationally due to the one and only Jagged Stone promoting “his rockin’ nieces!” every chance he can get
·         Chloe and Adrien are also main models, but wear masks to remain anonymous and to keep off of Gabriel’s radar
·         Hawkmoth is defeated when they are 16
·         Damian and Marinette officially start dating
·         He’s gotten this far without his family finding out about Marinette
·         He finally feels comfortable enough with them to trust them, but at the same time he wants to see how long he can keep the secrecy up
·         There was a close call when the trio portaled over to the manor for a movie night and got a bit too rambunctious
·         Damian proposes during one of their date nights in Paris when they are 17
·         She says yes!
·         The class wins the Wayne Enterprises trip and comes to Gotham during their senior year
·         The miraculous squad are all 18
·         The class tends to ignore them, so it was easy enough for them to slip away for an evening
·         Damian and Mari elope with Adrien and Chloe as their witnesses and the blessing of the kwamis
·         A week passes
·         Somehow with only three rogue attacks, which is truly shocking considering Lila is on the trip
·         Mari and Damian feel something is off and are both on high alert
·         Suddenly they feel a sting on their necks and then nothing
·         They wake up in a League of Assassins base in wedding robes
·         Damian looks around scowling until he notices their clothes
·         Marinette immediately notices their outfits and looks up at him confused
·         “Well it looks like mother approves of us”
·         Marinette just laughs upon realizing what is happening
·         She is unsure whether to be more incredulous or amused
·         Damian just raises his eyebrows, he has decided to be amused
·         Talia comes in with a speech prepared about how they must marry for the good of both of their organizations, she will kill their families if they don’t comply, etc.
·         She is surprised at what she sees when she actually looks at them
·         “Do you two know each other?”
·         “We got married last week.”
·         Now Talia is incredulous
·         Marinette sees her opening and takes it
·         She breaks Talia’s nose
·         “That’s for everything you did to him as a child!”
·         Talia is shocked and angry and is about to lunge until Damian steps between them
·         “So can we go now that we’ve cleared up the fact that we are already married?”
·         Talia just glares at them and leaves them there for the Bats to find later
·         A few hours later
·         The bats burst into the room and are relieved to find both Damian and the missing girl from the Paris class
·         Jason just stares at them until blurting out “Why the fuck are you dressed for a wedding?!”
·         “We will explain later, can we go now?”
·         The bats reluctantly agree to wait until they’re on the batplane to ask about what happened
·         The plane is filled with tense silence until Batman takes a deep breath
·         Lord give him the strength to deal with whatever bullshit Talia just pulled
·         “Talk.”
·         ”Father, meet my wife, Marinette Wayne. Marinette, this is my father Bruce Wayne, and these are my… brothers, Grayson, Todd, and Drake.”
·         “It’s so wonderful to finally meet you all! Dami has told me so much about you!”
·         The entire family just bluescreens
·         Jason is the first one to snap out of it
·         “TALIA MADE YOU GET MARRIED?”
·         “Tt. She tried, but we’ve already been married for a whole week.”
·         “Surprise?”
·         Jason, Dick and Tim are now yelling over each other and rapidly asking questions
·         Bruce may be broken
·         Damian and Marinette just enjoy the chaos

🦋 Butterfly Baby 🦋
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-🦋 Butterfly Baby 🦋-
this isn’t exactly a fanfic but not exactly a list of headcanons either. it’s basically an “I suck at writing but I’ve already planned out an entire story”. is there a beginning, climax, and satisfying ending? no lmao
-📋 story description 📋-
xiao and hu tao get together and have a family. hu tao is 19 at the start of this fic if you’re wondering. I just really needed to get this story out my system...hehe...and reply to this post if you can figure out why the story is called Butterfly Baby
-‼️warnings‼️-
mild spoilers, also this was written on 2/7/2021 so some stuff might seem incorrect after more story quests come out. also major character death if you read the alternate ending
-📜 the actual writing 📜-
• hu tao and xiao start hanging out together (aka hu tao comes to bother xiao and eat almond tofu with him whenever he stops by wangsheng inn)
• xiao eventually grows fond for hu tao but makes many attempts to keep her at an arms distance, all of which were in vain
• xiao and hu tao are both in denial about being in love but obviously xiao takes his denial to a whole other level
• xiao doesn’t visit the inn for 2 weeks but eventually caves and goes back because he missed hu tao the silky texture of almond tofu
• ganyu finds out after overhearing verr goldet (desk lady at wangshu inn) reporting back to ningguang about her observations
• ganyu thinks it’s an exaggeration until she goes to wangshu inn for some business affairs sees xiao and hu tao chatting over some almond tofu and tea
• xiao pretends to not notice ganyu peering from behind a wall
• xiao brings it up during ganyu’s adepti training (ganyu story quest) and she just looks away and apologizes
• xiao knows she wouldn’t tell anyone so he doesn’t bother making her feel even worse than she already does
• xiao and hu tao start actually dating (in secret) but it’s hard to keep at least a few people from noticing an adepti and a funeral parlor director walking near the outskirts of town
• xiao once again tries to distance himself because he feels like he’s not worthy of her love after all the people he’s killed and that an adeptus can’t be with a mortal, hu tao shuts that argument down with “but I don’t care”
• hu tao is a bit hurt that he thinks it matters if she’s a mortal
• she laughs at the rumors that she’s dating an adeptus even if it’s true
• zhong li eventually hears about the rumors and is pretty sure it’s true because hu tao comes to his statue everyday and recently brought up questions about love
• fast forward 10 months of hush hush dating and he finally proposes. no ring or anything fancy, just a simple “do you want to get married?” while they stood at the peak of guyun stone forest
• hu tao says yes without even thinking about it and immediately kisses him and starts excitedly talking about wedding plans that she totally hasn’t been thinking about for the past 3 months
• xiao comes to ganyu to ask for help with wedding planning and ganyu nearly looses her head when she hears him say “so I’m engaged now..”
• hu tao somehow convinced zhong li to help her with planning
• zhong li isn’t too shocked about the engagement but hopes that xiao knows what he’s getting himself into
• hu tao, with a lot of effort, convinces xiao to move into the wangsheng funeral parlor with her
• xiao has a tough time adjusting to mundane life (haha get it because- no? not funny? ok I’ll stop)
• it doesn’t take much negotiation with ningguang to secure a venue at yujing terrace
• xiao would’ve preferred a private wedding at jueyun karst but didn’t know how to ask cloud retainer about it
• one month of planning later and they get married at yujing terrace
• basically everyone in Liyue attends the wedding including traveler
• the adepti got their invites delivered from ganyu and watched the wedding from afar
• I know nothing about Chinese weddings so uhhhh that’s for the reader to dream about
• hu tao throws a flower ball made of silk flowers into the crowd (customs of liyue, volume 1)
• may or may not have forgotten about contraception during their wedding night.....
• too embarrassed to go down to bubu pharmacy get morning after medicine
• hu tao prays to rex lapis that she won’t get pregnant
• zhong li, sipping his tea: I pretend I do not hear
• xiao doesn’t know if he should tell hu tao about zhong li being rex lapis so he just hopes he’ll never have to reveal that secret
• xiao nearly breaks his skull on the wall when he realizes what he’s getting himself into
• people of Liyue are still in shock about an adeptus marrying a mortal (since they were never confirmed to be dating beforehand) and nearly explode with buzz when the funeral parlor director starts growing a baby bump
• “have you seen the wangsheng funeral parlor director? last time I saw her, it looked like her belly was growing a bit. do you think she’s pregnant? oh my archons, a half adeptus baby? I can’t believe it!”
• xiao asks zhong li if he can go out an order a crib, rocking chair, baby clothes, etc for him
• zhong li obviously says yes
• fast forward 9 months and hu tao goes into labor just an hour before the funeral parlor was closing for the day
• zhong li rushes hu tao to her room and tells the undertakers to fetch the midwife
• hu tao calls for xiao and of course xiao is there within 10 seconds
• midwife nearly shits herself when she walks into the bedroom and sees an adeptus
•the midwife nervously asks if xiao was the father
• there was a popular (false) rumor going around that hu tao had an affair with zhong li and the baby was his, mostly because people refused to believe that hu tao was pregnant with a half adeptus baby. these rumors were only fueled further when zhong li was overheard asking a shop keeper if he should order multiple sizes of baby onesies just in case.
• zhong li just nods his head and xiao looks away in shame
• midwife gives helps deliver the baby while thinking “if I fuck this up, this adeptus is going to kill me”
• surprise! the baby is completely fine and healthy
• ganyu asked the qixing if she could take a day off (much to the shock of everyone who knew she wouldn’t even take her yearly vacation leave)
• ganyu has never ran so quickly down Liyue’s streets and nearly kicked down the funeral parlor door
• she’s super excited to know that there’s going to be another half adeptus in Liyue but is also incredibly worried about the idea of a half yaksha child
• I can’t come up with a name for the daughter so ill just call her daughter
• zhong li is named the god father and ganyu is the named god mother
• xiao and hu tao take the baby down to jueyun karst
• ganyu and cloud retainer both think the baby is such an adorable and precious little thing
• the rest of the adeptus are just like “xiao wtf...but ok”
• refer to my posts about xiao as a father if you want some more cute details but I don’t wanna just write a copy paste of my past post
• everyone at Liyue harbor is gossiping about it
• hu tao is a very fun and free mom and teaches the kid to become a tiny ball of chaos with the pyromania of klee and the sneakiness of yaoyao. aka the kid is now unstoppable
• pyro vision because of course
• hu tao teaches her daughter how to master pyro, how to write poetry, and most importantly, how to become a funeral parlor director
• the daughter actually prefers swords over poles and gets classes from the guhua clan, and more specifically,
• zhong li was very eager to give the kid a vision and was managed to get the pyro archons permission
• xiao confronts zhong li about the vision it in secret
• xiao: you gave her a pyro vision. do you know how destructive she will be? 
• zhong li, taking another sip of tea: ✨ I pretend I do not hear ✨
• hu tao overhears the conversation and puts two and two together
• hu tao and xiao have their first ever argument ever since they got married
• “why didn’t you tell me before?”
• “because it was a secret!”
• back and forth until they hear the baby waking up and crying
• they agree that there’s no point in arguing now and go off to calm down the baby
• they end up living a happy life as a family of three, and after hu tao’s death, xiao continues to raise the child as much as he can (with the help of zhong li and ganyu)
• their daughter becomes the 78th director of the wangsheng funeral parlor
~the end~
-↪️ alternate ending ↪️-
• osial somehow wakes up during one lantern rite
• xiao was distracted by a different, much smaller, demon
• the guizhong ballista and jade chamber had been repaired by now and were better than before, and they were able to defeat osial without sacrificing the jade chamber again
• however they didn’t get to the jade chamber fast enough and a small part of Liyue was destroyed
• one place in that part of liyue being the wangsheng funeral parlor
• xiao is overcome by grief because he believe it was his fault that he wasn’t able to protect this family

• she also becomes the new demonslayer of the adepti, following in her father’s footsteps
• even through the trauma of witnessing her mother’s untimely death and being given the news that her father’s had also died, she made it through and raised a happy family of her own, while wearing the hat that her mom passed down.
~the end~

Loki x Ailey hc! part 1
Tumblr media
I was watching Thor Ragnarok with some friends (over zoom ofc) and then It popped up in my head a conversation that I had with @melyaliz and Alex (ig: shir.0_guru) a while back, and I couldn't shake it off my brain as I was trying to write some other thing. So hopefully writing this down would apace my mind.
TW: Arranged marriage, depictions of emotional/psychological abuse
Summary: Eris and Odin find a solution to what's been threatening their domains, an alliance between 2 of the most powerful families, but Ailey and Loki don't seem so keen about it.
Disclaimer/notes: Ailey is my OC! You can learn more about her in here!
Ailey has finally been reunited with most of her family and entered the realm of gods in this AU.
Samaras is the last name of the Eris family, they are rulers of Thera (Eris kingdom) and each member bears a royal title.
Ailey is the only demi-goddess in her family, Demigods are seen as shameful in this AU and usually they have a birthmark and a weakness that distinguishes them as such. In Ailey's case is her golden rose hair once she transforms in her god-form and her weakness is her allergy to gold, it practically burns her skin, debilitates her magic and herself, is like kryptonite for her.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
The only reason they even know about the other, is because of their parents: Eris had been in conflict with Ares lately, and one of his recent attacks greatly debilitated her army and Odin had trouble with a few of the realms under his command forming complots against him and the safety of Asgard.
Both rulers found themselves in need of the other: Odin had the greatest warriors and military at his service, and Eris being the goddess of discord could easily rise or disipate any conflict that may come her way (except for Ares ofc), an easy way in or out of war.
And so, they decided to form an alliance; But Odin being the wise men he is, knew better than to trust blindly in the goddess of chaos, after all...Eris was known for being a backstabber who acted only to beneficiate her own interests.
To prevent that, Odin decided to make the alliance under the condition that one member of the Samaras family must marry the second son: Loki, God of mischief. And so, Eris agreed and offered her youngest daughter: Ailey goddess of ruin and folly.
God it was an absolute mess since the beginning!
Frigga was the one to inform Loki, who immediately went to Odin to protest, but like always his father ignored him, shutting him down by comparing him to his brother and how he would do anything to protect Asgard but Loki was being selfish.
Ailey in the other hand was kept ignorant of such decision and only knew about it a few hours before the engagement party began and only because a servant accidentally told her.
She was furious and much like Loki tried to protest but Eris couldn't care less about her daughter's opinion.
Ailey could rage all she wanted, Eris wasn't even paying attention, the only thing she was accomplishing was in making her angry.
—Child, I think you tend to forget your place in this world, you see: among humans you might be...special but in here... you're just an idiot with too much privilege—Eris had a way with words that could make them feel like poison, creeping in to the insecurities of one's heart.
—If it weren't for me and your brothers, you would be Hera's new toy, so please remember, dear. You not only owe me but to your brothers and this kingdom as well.
Ailey headed back to her room feeling ashamed and angry, she felt her mother's words had some truth in them, seeing as how different she was viewed here in comparison to the human realm.
When the time came for the engagement party and for Ailey and Loki to meet for the first time, is fair to say neither of them were in a good mood.
Even though deep inside they knew both of them didn't have any say in the matter and were pretty much in the same situation; they still felt irrationally mad at each other, that's why since the moment they met to the end of the ceremony they would throw little passive-aggressive remarks at each other.
She viewed him as a pretentious asshole, and He saw her as a spoiled brat.
Almost near the end of the celebration and no announcement had been made so Eris took it upon herself to throw them into the spotlight.
—I believe you two have something important to share with all of us—her face was smiling but her eyes were threatening.
Ailey bit the inner side of her cheek, rolled her eyes as she turned to face Loki who only gave an exasperated sigh before speaking in a monotone voice
—Do you want to marry me?—he didn't even bothered to get on one knee and just extended the ring for her to take.
Ailey felt tempted to say "no" and walk away gracefully but doing that would probably have a negative impact on Thera, so after a long pause she answered.
—Whatever—and put the ring on, herself.
Clearly a good start :) .
I think they didn't saw each other that much afterwards and when they did it was mostly for wedding arrangements in which they continued with the passive-aggressive comments but this time about everything the other would pick.
The mood was so uncomfortable every time they were together everyone around them was like:
Tumblr media
I think that sometimes they would have moments where they realize they had been too harsh with the other and would tone it down a little but treating each other like that was the only way of protest that was allowed for them.
Specially for Loki since he constantly had to travel to Thera bc for some reason unknown to him Ailey refused to go to Asgard, which only made his negative opinion on her grow.
In his mind, it was probably because she thought she was too good for Asgard but the reality was: Asgard is practically a death sentence for Ailey since 90% of every building in there was made of gold.
But she will never tell him that.
I think their first "moment of closeness" came to be purely out of the realization neither of them had any option other than get married or see their domains destroyed.
So, they decided to call it a truce: both would play along with the whole marriage fiasco for a while until things died down and then they could divorce and pretend they never even met.
And so, the passive-aggressive comments slowly died down, not that they started acting like lovers all of a sudden, instead they acted like they were just... co-workers or something.
They would greet each other in a formal manner and then only talked about the arrangements and left, nothing else.
But then, inevitably they started to get closer.
It was something so gradual none of them really knew how it happened.
It started off with small comments about decoration ideas for the venue, it turns out they both had quite the interest in interior design.
Eventually those small comments became lengthy conversations about which combination of colors would look the best.
When it came down to learning about the nobility attending the wedding on each side, both would spend a little more time together. Studying the proper way on how to address them and their interests all for the possibility in forming new alliances.
But I feel like instead they would roast the hell out of them, like they would be going through a list of the Asgardian nobility that were to attend and Ailey would just point at a picture of a random Asgardian noble and go: "Oh. My. God. what is he even wearing?"
And Loki would try to force back a smile or a laugh but eventually he would just give in and start joining Ailey in the roasting.
They also have a very similar sense of humor, but Ailey is just more blunt and open about it while Loki isn't, I feel like most of the time he has genius comebacks to stupid comments people make but he's a gentleman and normally just keeps it to himself or would only say it in a polite but slightly aggressive manner, so when Ailey just bluntly says something similar to what he was thinking he can't help but laugh a bit (he won't admit to it though)
Other things Ailey and Loki have in common is their love for drama and spectacle, while Ailey is more of a ballet/dance-based plays person, she understands Loki’s enthusiasm for theater and books even sharing some of it herself.
Not only they enjoy these things, but they also found comfort in them: For Ailey ballet began as something her mother forced upon her but transformed in an outlet for her emotions and a way to connect and control her powers.
For Loki theater was a form of escapism since he was a child, every time he felt like he didn’t belong he found a safe place in countless stories of the misunderstood heroes.
This only makes their bond grow deeper; up until this point they never had anyone to talk to about their interests in such depth, so now they talk all the time about it, sometimes they would surprise themselves looking forward to the next meeting just to gush about a new play or book they just saw or read.
I feel like Loki might’ve even lend Ailey some copies of his favorite books and Ailey as a “thank you” decided to sneek out with him to the human realm to watch "Tristan und Isolde".
Everyone is able to notice the change in attitude of these two, especially Thor who only had heard about the girl but could tell how happy she made him every time Loki would mention her.
And he was happy for his brother but felt curious about his soon to be sister-in-law.
So, it was only natural when Thor asked Loki if he could tag along the next time he went to Thera.
He said no.
Thor went anyways.
When Ailey met him, she could only think about one thing: "he himbo" which she thought was cute btw.
Thor could see why Loki liked this girl so much, they were practically the same, which he found sweet yet amusing.
—Lady Ailey, a pleasure to meet you, mi brother has told me a lot about you!—he stated.
—Really?!—Ailey questioned directing an incredulous glance at Loki. 
—He asked­—Loki tried to defend himself by downplaying his brother statement. 
—No, I didn’t.—Thor retaliated with a mocking smile, he could tell his brother felt embarrassed so he decided to tease him a bit more. 
—In fact, he won’t shut up about you. 
—That’s not true, he’s just.. 
—No, he’s all the time saying Ailey this, Ailey that. It peaked my curiosity and so here I am… 
—Brother, Could you shut up?—Ailey could only smile and hold back a laugh at the brothers spontaneous quarrel. 
Truth is she thought it was sweet of Loki to talk about her with his brother. And teases him about it afterwards.
I think Thor might talk privately with Ailey and would ask her to take care of his brother. 
—I know Loki can be a bit…difficult, but have patience with him, I can tell he really likes you. 
And Thor was correct, Loki really did like her. But it might take a while for him to come to terms with his feelings, and would only manifest in small gestures towards Ailey, like: tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, subconsciously offering his arm for her to take as support when walking down the stairs, placing a hand on the small of her back as guidance whenever they were in a crowded space, sneaking small glances at her, etc.
Overall, he starts acting a lot softer with her, a lot more caring.
Ailey might be a bit oblivious to this (since she’s only used to overly sexual advances and has a difficult time understanding genuine affection), but she appreciates it none the less.
And both might even find themselves thinking that maybe…just maybe spending the rest of their lives together isn’t a bad idea after all.

Hello love~! I'm here to request wedding headcanons for Zoro, Sabo and Ace~
These were so cute and fun to write!! Hope you enjoy, my dear friend ~
Wedding HCs for Zoro, Sabo, and Ace
Zoro:
Tumblr media
- nervous as HELL
- he doesn’t show it, remaining as stoic as ever, but he is sweating buckets in that suit!
- it’s not that he has cold feet, he just hadn’t imagined he’d ever commit to someone forever like this
- but, he fell for you in such a way, immediately knowing that you two were meant to be together until the end of time
- he would’ve been fine without any ceremony, but he knows a wedding means a lot to you, so of course he said yes to the idea
- the crew really wanted to throw you an extravagant wedding, but both you and Zoro agreed on a small ceremony on the Sunny
- he begged Nami and Robin for help to plan and design the entire thing, since he has no fucking clue what he’s doing, and Nami complied (with only a small fee)
- Nami and Sanji (lol) are your bridesmaids, with Robin being the maid of honor!
- Usopp and Franky are the groomsmen, with Luffy being the best man!
- Zoro is the one who asked (dared? demanded?) Sanji to be your other bridesmaid and he only agreed if he could also escort you down the aisle
- Zoro complied though he was definitely hesitant; the idea of the ero-cook being arm and arm with his future bride before he could even lay eyes on her makes his blood boil
- Brook is of course playing sweet music on his violin
- Chopper is the ring bearer and flower child (let it be known he is absolutely adorable in his little suit!!)
- Jinbe is the officiant!
- it’s a wonderful ceremony because the entire crew is actually dressed to the nines! Franky still isn’t wearing pants, but he does look fancy from the waist up!
- Zoro is as handsome as ever, in a full grey suit; his cherished swords aren’t decorated around his waist for once, but they are laid aside in his line of sight of course
- once Brook starts playing the traditional wedding song, Zoro perks up, craning his neck to look for you
- his breathing and heart rate increase rapidly; it’s time and he is about to e x p l o d e
- it takes a lot for Zoro to get nervous, why is he on the verge of hyperventilation??
- what if you see him and change your mind? what if he can’t really make you happy for the rest of his life? what if you realize there’s someone way better out there? what if you realize you don’t actually love him…?
- Luffy notices Zoro’s apprehension and places a reassuring hand on his shoulder, offering him an ear to ear smile to let him know everything will be okay!
- the blinding pure white of your dress instantly catches Zoro eye
- your beauty and grace somehow makes every single one of his fears disappear
- he even completely dismisses the fact that you’re linked arms with that shitty cook
- you look up at him with the most loving eyes and he questions how he could have ever doubted the love you have between each other; a kind of love that is meant to withstand anything and everything
- Zoro hardly even listens to anything that comes out of Jinbe’s mouth, he’s just too focused on you and your genuine, happy smile
- once you are officially proclaimed as Mr. and Mrs. Roronoa Zoro, he grabs you instantly lifts you up into a passionate kiss
- the entire crew erupts into applause - both Franky and Sanji are weeping - and the real party begins!
- you end the ceremony with a lavish and lively party full of booze, food, music, and friends
- the honeymoon is postponed, since as usual with your crew’s luck, the marines have arrived; they caught word of the wedding and are now surrounding you, planning on a capture
- you finish off your wedding day with fighting and escaping the marines together as newlyweds!
Sabo:
Tumblr media
- marrying a man from a generally pretty secretive group, it’s no surprise that this ceremony is low-key and a secret to the world
- the only people in attendance are you, Sabo, and the Revolutionaries
- Ivankov insists you get married in the forest of Kamabakka Kingdom, since the pink flowers and leaves of the trees serve as an elegant backdrop/atmosphere
- you agree, as long as the Kamabakka people do not cause any disruptions
- spoiler: they’re hiding in the bushes and trees during the entire ceremony!
- the set up is basic: a few white chairs are set up in order, facing a simple arch decorated with the most beautiful flowers from the island
- the only lavish things about the wedding are the outfits
- Sabo is dressed head to toe in a handsome coal-black suit (with a matching top hat of course!); his sunny blonde hair and bright blue eyes really pop against the darkness of his suit!
- your dress is long, flowing, and pearly white
- Inazuma and a few other Kamabakka citizens helped to get you ready
- Koala wanted to murder Sabo as he was just impossible; he wouldn’t stand still for her, he was just too jittery and eager to see you!

- the exchange of your vows really makes the audience tear up
- Sabo isn’t even looking at his vow papers anymore; the words he’s wanting you to hear spill effortlessly from his heart
- he’s just staring into your eyes, telling you precisely how in love with you he is and how he promises to love you for the rest of his days and beyond
- happy tears begin to prick your eyes, causing few to fill his eyes as well
- he takes your hands in his once more as the final words he’s been dying to hear all day are said: ‘I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.’
- Sabo doesn’t even hesitate as he takes hold of your blushing cheeks into his gloved hands to grab your lips in a romantic kiss
- you can taste the saltiness of your tears (or are they his?) flowing down your cheeks; Sabo smiles joyfully against your lips

Welcome To Grail Academy - Chapter Fourteen: Too Young To Die
For an abandoned taffy factory, the beastly structure sure was animated. The tall smokestacks obscured the light of the sun, like grey obelisks marking an apocalyptic shrine. Groups of men and women in beige jumpsuits and caps rolled large crates out on trolleys, loading the packages onto the backs of taffy delivery trucks. A man with a thick beard and baggy eyes barked directions from the catwalk above, his potbelly bouncing as he yelled. It was systematic chaos, ants gathering food, bees building a hive, cockroaches scattering under light. The floor manager saw the line of children file into the factory through a garage door, nodded and pointed to a hallway that funneled out of the worker’s space. Queenie leading the pack, she directed everyone to follow.
Rettah held onto Yorick’s sweaty hand, pulling him along like a puppy on a leash. She was rambling about something, it could have been about a comic book she was reading, or maybe she was explaining their cover at the factory, but he wasn’t paying attention. He was still in sensory overload. Her hand on his was like holding an alligator’s tail, he felt every pore and ring of her fingerprints, every drop of sweat. The shouting and mechanical whirring of the machines sounded like standing in the middle of a bomb range. His heart was a flamenco dancer twirling and leaping in his chest, his legs were shaking, the images of Buck were stained on the insides of his eyelids every time he blinked. Scarlet swayed behind him, hands on his head.
The noise, noise, noise of the factory rattled in the distance as a new sound overtook Yorick’s ears. An argument, behind a closed door of what looked to be a freezer, presumably the place where this taffy company once stored product preservatives.
“The shipments are ahead of schedule, but the border keeps stopping our deliveries before they can leave Calicem.” A man’s voice, deep and gravely.
“We certainly can’t go after city government. It’s still an independent settlement.” A woman’s voice, stern.
“That’s exactly why we SHOULD. There won’t be any assistance from Mistral military.”
“Yes, but you forget their connections to Haven. The alliances between academies could prove to be bothersome, at the least.”
“Those toddlers are only a small inconvenience. If we move fast, we can collapse the communications tower and prevent any distress signals.”
Another woman’s voice, gentle and soft, cut through the bickering and hummed “Goodness, you call the hunters children while I sit here with a couple of infants! Play nice, you two”, the voice tittered.
The door to the locker was pushed open and the meeting came into full view. A circular wooden dining table sat in the center, a series of eight mismatched cushioned lounge chairs sitting around it. A tray with a silver tea pot and bowls of sugar cubes and biscuits was adjusted directly in the center. Those sitting at the table were all holding a cup of their own, although some did not drink the warm beverage. The room was cold, frigid, not quite to the point of frost or needing a jacket, but enough to send a chill down Yorick’s back. A man in a heavy orange and gold coat had his fist clenched on the table, his clean shaven head glistening in the reflection of his tea cup. A short woman sat across from him, the locks of her chestnut hair curling over her shoulder as she sipped her tea delicately, with her pinkie out. A boy with ragged black hair, shaved short in some parts and left long in others, sat on a crate in the corner, arms folded over his chest. “Be patient.” the gentle voice continued, echoing from somewhere in the far back of the room, dripping from the darkness like molasses. “There is no need to cause such a disturbance over a few delivery trucks. Let our people do their jobs, they have families to feed.”
“Pardon the interruption, but we have a new recruit” Queenie stated, gaining the abrupt attention of everyone’s eyes on her. She and Rettah stepped out of the way, and Scarlet shoved Yorick into the room. The boy on the crate shook his head and stood up, leaving the room. His arms unfolding as he trudged out made plain the dark marks on his back underneath his tank top, which Yorick stared at for a brief moment. He tripped over his feet and slipped into the room, not knowing what to do with his hands. He patted his legs and puffed out his cheeks, before that gentle voice hummed again. “You….”
suddenly, the darkness shrunk and a streak of black whooshed past the table. Now he was being embraced in a tight hug, by a pale woman who held his head to her naked breast. She was as cold as death, but somehow had the nurturing touch of a mother. She released him after an uncomfortably long five seconds, smiling excitedly and inspecting him. “Oh, he’s perfect! Just as I had imagined him. A magnificent specimen! Yes!” She poked the flesh of his forearms, prodded at his stomach, lifted the ends of his hair and counted a few strands, pulled one of his shoes off and felt around to make sure he had all his toes, stretched the goggles on his head as far as they could go, letting them snap onto his forehead when she let go. The process had Yorick giggling nonstop, since he had neglected to mention that he was extremely ticklish.
“What—Who are you? Where am I, what is this?” He asked, noticing the long trail of black hair winding behind the woman. She tittered again, petting his head and calming down.
“You must be very confused, I’m sure. My name is Sable Zil Alhaqiqa Trinity. But you may call me Sable. And this,” she held her arms out and gestured to the space around her, “is my temple.”
The man sitting at the table cleared his throat, and Sable turned to explain, “These are some of my disciples. Lolanthe Aylin, a scholar and the head of our production department, and Aurum Fitzroy, the leader of our field scouts.” She leaned over and whispered, “he also makes a wonderful raspberry biscuit.” Yorick looked back and saw that the man was angrily chewing on a biscuit with speckles of red berry in it.
A black tendril of hair draped itself over Yorick’s shoulder like an arm, Sable’s signal for him to turn around. “Walk with me, Yorick.” He glanced back to the rest of RSQ as the pair strolled down the hallway, and caught Rettah waving goodbye before the locker door shut behind them. “How do you know my name?”
“I know lots of things.”
Wow, that’s totally not creepy, he thought. Sable’s hair slid along the floor behind her, as if she wore a dramatically long veil to a wedding gown. They travelled through the factory, each assembly line and packing room adding to its daunting size. “Are you afraid of me, Yorick?”
“A bit, yeah.”
“That is understandable, haha.” She chuckled. He laughed as well, until Sable’s hair lifted off his shoulder and fell into place on her back. “I’m a strange person. We are strange people!” She was right about that.
“Do you know about the Hedge Witches?”
“We….learned about them in class, I think.” He scratched the back of his hand. The little he knew about them wasn’t exactly in a good light.
“Then you know what we do here.”
“You’re anarchists. Terrorists.”
Sable snorted, “Oh, nothing that dramatic.” They reached a room with ceiling-to-floor windows that hung above the work floor, but the windows were almost entirely covered with sheets of scribblings and notes. “My disciples are not mindless brutes. They are scientists, artists, teachers, chefs, lawyers, those who have been wronged by Calicem government. The ones who run this city, they are oppressors. They profit from marginalized people’s misery.” As she spoke, Yorick strolled around the room and read some of the notes. They seemed to be a combination of diary entries and experiment logs. “....The world has been cruel to us. We were born out of hate and fear, not love. That is why I do this, Yorick. I want to create a new world. A better one.” The branches of hair slithered up the walls of the room like spilt ink, and when Yorick turned around, Sable was reclining in a hammock of her own hair. He could sympathize with her reasons. But Yorick questioned her, “Why do you need me, then?”
“Because,” Sable plucked a piece of paper off of one of the walls and handed it to Yorick. ”This power is your destiny.” Yorick clutched the newsprint photo in his hand, recognizing the face of his grandmother on the paper.
“Who. The hell. Is Sable.” Esmerelda slammed her hands down on the headmaster’s desk, grinding her teeth. Her team and herself were all looking worse for wear, Bernard blinking in and out of consciousness on the couch in the corner, Nico sitting beside him with his partner’s head in his lap, wincing with every breath he took. The school nurse peeled Bernard’s eyes open and shone a small light to see if his pupils dilated (which they didn’t), and applied a salve to the many purple and red marks across Nico’s chest and stomach. “It’s a miracle you don’t have any broken bones. Just a couple of bruised ribs.” The nurse remarked while she wrapped gauze around Nico’s torso to hold him together. Esmerelda herself had bandages wrapped around her forearms where the wires cut her, and around her neck where Queenie had attempted to slit her throat.
“I understand that you’re upset-” Madehold tried to calm down her students, but to no avail. “-UPSET!? My team and I could have died out there. Upset doesn’t even begin to describe it. For gods sake, they took Yorick and killed one of their teammates! How could you let those monsters into the academy? And why did they know so much about you and the school? And WHO IN THE GODS NAMES IS SABLE!?”
Madehold let out a long sigh, lacing her fingers together and holding them up to her lips as she sat there. It was one thing to have to deal with these kids screaming at her so late at night, but it was another thing to do so while she was inebriated. After a moment, she turned in her office chair and stood, making her way to the window. “I guess I have some explaining to do, don’t I?”

The Love of a Cat, Chapter 5
Adrien wasn’t surprised to see Kim standing impatiently in his study when he walked in. Neither was he surprised at the way Kim’s expression clearly demanded explanation. What was a surprise was seeing Nino there wearing the same expression.
Adrien looked at his best friend with a quirked brow. “I thought you were going back home.”
“I thought you were single.”
Touché.
His two friends pointed to his chair in silent command that he sit down and start explaining.
“You know, I don’t even think I heard her name,” Nino commented as Adrien rounded the desk to his chair.
“Marinette. Marinette Dupain.”
Nino’s brow screwed up in thought. “Mari—”
“Wait,” Kim interrupted. “Is this the same girl you told me about on the battlefield?”
Adrien nodded.
Kim’s grin was cattish. “You’re right; she is pretty.”
The glare Adrien gave to Kim was wuthering.
“But weren’t you engaged to marry the princess of the other kingdom?” Nino asked. “Your father isn’t going to be happy about it.”
“Well, I wasn’t happy when he ignored all my protests. It wasn’t going to finish the war, and he knew it.”
“Sure,” Kim said, leaning over Adrien’s desk. “But I highly doubt you set out to marry this g—ahh!”
Nino was by his side, holding him up in an instant while Adrien shot up out of his chair to steady his friend. “Nino, get the chair.”
“Buddy, you got to take it easy,” Nino said, placing the indicated chair behind Kim. “That was one heck of a beating you took not all that long ago.”
“I’m fine,” he said, awkwardly taking a seat.
“Says the guy with the stab wound,” Nino quipped.
“It’s healing. The stitches just got taken out, so it’s still a bit tender,” Kim defended.
“You’re lucky it wasn’t your torso,” Adrien added.
“You’re lucky it wasn’t you.”
Adrien cringed. He knew that beating was for him, and Kim, being the selfless and devoted man he was, took it in Adrien’s stead. “That still doesn’t negate the fact you should have had back-up that day.”
“The man hell-bent and determined to kill you. I didn’t have time to get back-up.”
“I was two doors away!” Nino cried. “Shouting distance! You’re lucky I got there when I did, or that man would have had your head.”
“Enough,” Adrien interrupted before their quarrel could grow any worse. “We’re all lucky. Let’s leave it at that.”
Nino huffed. “This time. But what happens when Theo tries again? Because you know he will.”
Adrien tapped his fingers irritatedly on the desk.
“He has, hasn’t he?” Nino deadpanned.
“What does he even want with you?” Kim interjected.
Adrien felt the ring under his glove, his new nervous habit. “I don’t know.”
Nino sighed tiredly. Kim rolled his eyes in exasperation.
Adrien shrugged. “Sorry.” He felt bad for his friends. He really did. He wasn’t the kind of man who liked seeing them harassed and tormented, but he had to be thankful that they stuck by his side when everyone else at the house had left. The house that used to employ seventeen now employed three. Most of his peers wanted to cut ties to Chat Noir. Even his own father seemed to think he was bad luck, one of the reasons he had been sent here in the first place. That, and to privately recover from battle.
“Then let’s get back to the reason I’m here,” Nino eventually spoke up. “The girl. Your new wife. What do you even know about her?”
“Theo tried to rape her.”
His bluntness sent both his friends straight over the edge. “What?”
Adrien just nodded. “At the party, I tailed Theo when he snuck down into the servants’ quarters. Except I lost him. I only found him again when I heard a woman screaming.”
Nino’s hands scrunched into tight fists while Kim looked downright murderous.
“I saved her, thankfully. But I was caught by Duke Bourgeois’ head servant. That left her with two options: marry Theo or marry me.”
“Well, not that hard of a decision.” Nino sarcastically quipped.
Kim just huffed in agreement.
“Does your dad know about it?”
“No,” Adrien answered. He was not looking forward to that conversation. In all likelihood, he was going to hold that off as long as possible.
“Does she know you’re the prince?” Kim asked.
Adrien remained silent.
Nino quickly turned exasperated. “Please, at the very least, tell me you didn’t get married in those stupid cat ears.”
“They aren’t stupid,” Adrien retorted. “They’re hilariously punny.”
Nino leveled him a flat look.
“Don’t worry, I did take them off for the wedding.”
“But not the mask?”
The silence spoke plenty loud.
“Buddy,” Nino groaned while Kim sniggered. “You are digging your own hole.”
“Just…let me go about this my own way. She’s already scared enough as it is. She nearly got raped, then she’s forced to marry a man she doesn’t want to in order to save her reputation. She got torn away from her parents—whom she obviously adores as much as they adore her—and now she thinks home is here. I’ve already informed her that she’s not going to get to go back any time soon because the rumors are so large right now. Somehow, against all odds, her father agreed with me on that point because neither one of us want to see her hurt by gossip that is currently circulating the peasant class as well as the high-class. I’m already going to have to teach her to be the ‘proper lady’ society expects her to be. I don’t need to thrust the weight of the fact she’s my princess on her. I’ll tell her soon; I have to. But this…this is a lot on her already. Let it sink in slowly. Or, as slowly as possible.”
Nino and Kim regarded him seriously before nodding in agreement. “You’re right,” Nino relented. “It’s probably easier for now. No telling how she’s going to react later, though.”
“In the meantime,” Adrien continued. “Please don’t mention any of this to her. Don’t mention anything about me being a prince. Don’t mention anything about the king. And most of all, don’t mention anything about the chaos Theo has been causing here. You can mention my reputation as Chat Noir. You can use that excuse if need be. But nothing that will potentially upset her. All right?”
“Understood,” the two men said together.
“Good. Anything else I need to catch you two up on?”
Nino shook his head. “No. But there’s something I should inform you of.”
Adrien raised a brow at him. “And that is?”
“That you need to ready my usual room because there is no way I’m leaving now.”
And this was one of the reasons he and Nino were friends. “I’ll tell Tikki to do that right away.”
Marinette did not come down for dinner. That was perfectly fine considering he told Ms. Mendeleiev to give her the option. It allowed him to talk with his friends about the possibility of more trouble and hash out the details of what to do if something extreme were to happen. It also gave them a bit of time to debate what to do about Theo.
Kim wanted to hang him. Nino seconded the notion. Adrien was hard-pressed not to third it.
“We have to find out what he wants and why,” he reasoned. “Then we’ll revisit that possibility.”
His friends relented. Reluctantly.
Eventually, they all parted for the night, each retreating off to their own rooms. Adrien was hesitant to go into his. He wouldn’t sleep. He knew it. Maybe he’d go stargazing. Maybe he’d retreat to his study and read. Or maybe he’d try to sleep. Maybe he was just tired enough to try.
The resulting gasp when he opened his door caught all his attention. He looked up to see Marinette standing there, her hair down around her shoulders, her arms crossed protectively in front of her while her white night gown swished around her legs. But the worst of it was that she looked like a scared rabbit backed into corner.
It all clicked in his mind when she shot a glance at the bed before taking a half-step away and returning her fear-filled gaze to him.
He shut the door behind him. “Marinette,” he inquired gently, hoping she’d realize he wasn’t upset or angry at her. “What brings you in here?”
She shifted uncomfortably. “It’s…um…we haven’t had…” her voice grew so very quiet. “The…wedding night.”
“I know,” he said, slowly making his way to her.
Not that she fully noticed with the way her gaze was glued to the floor. In fact, he was certain she didn’t even hear him. “And Ms. Mendeleiev said that…that it was better form if the wife…I mean, for the wife… to be waiting for…for her husband in his room.”
She flinched when she realized just how close he’d gotten, taking two steps back before hanging her head in shame. It broke his heart to see her so scared. So scared of him. “Marinette,” he spoke softly. “I will not force anything on you. I married you to get you away from that. You never have to be scared of me. I will never force myself on you. Never. Didn’t I promise you that?”
Her gorgeous blue gaze fluttered up to him, lidded by dark lashes and the sheen of tears. He gave her what he hoped was a reassuring smile. “I’ll say it again: I promise that I will never demand anything from you that you aren’t willing to give, especially that.”
With that said, he reached out his hand in between them, hoping she would take it. Hesitantly, she looked at it, giving him a couple similar glances before she hesitantly reached out to place a hand into his awaiting one.
His smile grew as he pulled her back to the door that connected their rooms. He opened it for her before motioning for her to go through. “I promised your father I would take care of you. I gave my word, and I don’t go back on my word. All I ask is for the chance to prove to you that I will keep that promise.”
Marinette blinked a couple times, her dark lashes glimmering as a tear broke loose and rolled down her cheek.
He desperately wanted to wipe it away, but he had to be cautious of his contact with her. She was scared of him. Of how he might handle her. Right now, the hand she had placed in his was contact enough, and she barely trusted him with that. “This house is now your house, as well,” he said. “You may go anywhere you please and avoid any room you don’t want to be in. Furthermore, you are the lady of this house. The servants don’t get to tell you where you have to go. So I don’t want to see you back in my room unless you wish to be here. All right, my lady?”
Adrien was happy to see the fear slowly fade from her eyes. It never went completely, but rest of her unshed tears started to dissipate. It was a start. “All right,” she agreed.
He rubbed his thumb over her knuckles. “Good. One last thing before you leave for the night: it is my desire that we could, at the very least, become friends, but don’t feel pressured into anything. I know this is a lot to take in. I’m sorry this had to be thrust upon you. Just know that when you’re ready, I would like to try to create a friendship.”
In the candlelight, her eyes seemed to glow. Especially since those brilliant blue orbs were no longer half-covered by her eyelashes or full with tears. Now they looked…surprised. Intrigued. Curious. “All right,” she said once again.
He gave her a smile. A real, large smile that he could feel was genuine. He resisted the urge to kiss her knuckles and instead settled for squeezing her hand before releasing it. “I wish you a good night.”
She curled her hand back up against her chest but didn’t quite drop her gaze from his just yet. “You too.” With that, she hastily retreated back into her room, shutting her door behind her.
Adrien quietly shut his door, then leaned back against it when he felt the energy drain from his legs.
Well, there went any possibility of sleep coming tonight.
At least he had something to do: reassign Marinette’s lady’s maid.

New Year, New Mitch
BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!
A hand slammed down, trying to challenge the blaring alarm clock. That same hand felt around in the dark for a pair of owl-y steel-rimmed glasses. 
Mitch McConnell sat up in bed and loudly sighed, despite having no audience for his early morning dismay. He got out of bed and immediately made it the same way he always had -- as close to “bouncing a nickel off the sheets” as he could.
Out of the corner of his eye, an unwanted manila folder sat precariously over the edge of his coffee table. A sticky yellow post it on the folder read, “McConnell - Chao Divorce Papers.” He hadn’t had time to read them all the way through, but Elaine wanted everything. Mitch laughed to himself -- of course she did. When they had first met, Mitch promised her everything. And up until one year ago, he had delivered.
The fallout stemming from the impeachment of President Trump was far reaching. McConnell himself decided at the last minute to lead his most loyal allies in the Senate to join the Democrats against the President. Sure, Mitch surfed the orange wave for four years, picking up judges and legislative favors left and right. But in the end, even McConnell had to admit that a country where “liberals get a say” is better than no country at all. So he helped oust Trump to “save the republic.”
The far right response was predictable. “Deep State Mitch” his previously loyal supporters would yell at him. “Why dont you go kiss Biden’s ass some more??” they would scream next to him at red lights. This led to Mitch returning to  “staying safe at home” but for reasons unrelated to Covid-19.
In the end, their taunts became a self fulfilling prophesy, driving McConnell away from the now alt-right led New Republicans. The name change was basically the ceiling for Conservative cleverness, but Mitch had had enough with the latest coup attempt. After all the smoke cleared, Mitch McConnell had become Washington’s most conservative Democrat senator.
His phone lit up. “Is it fucking Pelosi already?” She was relentlessly annoying. In the wake of Mitch’s divorce and begrudging team-switching, Nancy started inviting Mitch to every single function she threw. New Years Eve Party. Super Bowl Party. She even invited Mitch to her own niece’s wedding (he declined, because finding a date on short notice was not his forte). At first he refused to take the invites seriously, but his other political friends had stopped calling. He hadn’t heard from Lindsay Graham in a season. So one day, Mitch caved. When he arrived at the Pelosi "Arbor Day Block Party” Nancy immediately squealed “Look who’s late to the party!” She then did this at every event, laughing at it just as loudly as the first time.
NANCY: Mitch -- big Nationals playoff series this week, want to come over for a cocktail party?
MITCH: Thank you so much, Nance, but I actually have other plans.
NANCY: No you don’t.
Fuck her. He didn’t have plans, but the smugness with which she read him just added insult to injury.
MITCH: Maybe I’ll make an appearance.
NANCY: Bring some kind of app. See you then Mitchy.
He thought for a minute about what he would have to wear to such an event, before groaning and saving such planning for later. This morning, Mitch was going to buy his own groceries. He had never done so, and the looming errand was giving him equal percentages of adrenaline and agita.
“Let’s see here, I think I need some kind of bag to carry the groceries to my car.” So Mitch grabbed a travel suitcase and drove to Whole Foods.
Just as he walked through the front door, his phone began ringing from a blocked phone number. Mitch’s ringtone of “Habits (Stay High)” by Tove Lo reverberated through the produce section until he answered.
MITCH: Hello? Who is this?
VOICE: You don’t remember an old buddy?
Mitch’s mind started racing through the old Rolodex. Southern voice, but kind of forced.
MITCH: Ted?
TED: Oh good. Glad you haven’t forgotten everything.
MITCH: I was just...surprised to hear from you, I guess.
Nobody had heard from Ted Cruz in almost a year. In February of 2021, a massive leak hit the front pages of every newspaper and website in the country. Cruz’s at times impossible-to-follow support of former President Trump was dismissed, all until the exposé that proved Russian blackmail was central. It wasn’t pretty. Sex with a minor, taking funding from foreign governments, lying under oath...the works. It all came out in a blistering Buzzfeed News report.
McConnell himself was lucky to escape the whiplash that followed. While many  assumed Mitch was also on Putin’s payroll -- the truth is that, no, he had never  taken a ruble. In the end, Mitch McConnell was just a dick. And he was a dick with no regrets until his divorce.
Now, Mitch slept in the bed that he had made for himself.
Democrat Mitch.
Single Mitch.
Going to Nancy Pelosi’s house with two bottles of rosé Mitch.
Cruz had taken a different path. The last McConnell had heard, Cruz was living in the same part of St. Petersburg as the Trumps and playing the part of total recluse.
TED: Yeah, well it’s me. Let me cut straight to the point. There may be an opportunity.
MITCH: What kind of opportunity?
TED: To fix things. To make things normal. To make America...
MITCH: Great again?
TED: Yeah! Exactly! I have been putting together this plan revolving around trying to say that Kamala Harris has been lying to Americans about the existence of UFOs--
Mitch cut Cruz right off.
MITCH: --Ted?
TED: Yeah, what?
MITCH: It’s over.
After a long pause.
TED: Mitch, I’m still stuck in this shithole country. I’m not going to stop. The people will have their say at the end of the da--
MITCH: No. I’m like a hundred years old. I don’t have it in me to keep playing House of Cards with you idiots.
TED: Wow, you sound like a real Democrat.
MITCH: And you sound like a fucking moron.
And with that, he hung up on Cruz. McConnell wished that the noise, the screaming, the loneliness would end. He knew it would not. Not for the country, anyhow. And not for Mitch. As long as he still drew breath, he would have to confront his Sisyphean task head on.
And with that, Mitch McConnell, Democrat, began to make Buffalo Chicken Dip for Nancy Pelosi’s baseball cocktail party.

List of Sherlolly Prompts as of 3/8/2017
Here is a link to the very informal Sherlolly Prompt Fest FAQ
Below is the list of prompts submitted to @holidaysat221b.  Where possible, we have tagged the submitter so that credit can be given if a prompt inspires someone to write a fic or create a piece of art.
Some submissions were specifically labeled as Art prompts, and they have been separated into their own category.  However, if you are a fic writer and one of the art prompts calls to you, go for it.  Likewise, if one of the other prompts makes you want to draw, have fun with it!  Prompts that have been filled at least once will be followed with an *, in case that influences your decision to work with one.
We only ask three things:
1) If you use one of the prompts on this list, please remember to credit the prompt and prompter somewhere in your fic summary/art description or in your notes.  It’s the polite thing to do.
2)  Please submit an ask or message @holidaysat221b with a link to your work, the prompt you used, the prompter, and how you want to be identified (in cases where your Tumblr and fic/artist name are different).  This will allow us to share your work with our followers and tag the prompter (if possible).
3)  We have set up a Sherlolly Prompt Fest Collection on Ao3.  If you are planning to post your fic or art on Ao3 and would like to add it to the collection, please do.  As of this moment, the collection is open and unmoderated.  Please remember to credit the prompt and prompter in your fic/art notes.
On to the Prompts as of March 8, 2017
Art
Art prompt:  (I’ve wanted this like burning for five years, I’ll never give up asking)  Sherlock and Molly, the cake scene from Sixteen Candles".  Only in the morgue and Molly’s wearing the lab coat.  -  @sunken-standard
Art prompt:  Potter!lock.  Don’t care if it’s student Sherlock and Molly in their house robes, teachers, wizarding professionals, a recreation of the Order of the Phoenix group photo with Sherlock characters instead.  Whatever.  Just as long as it’s Potter!lock.  -  @darnedchild
Art prompt:  Molly and Sherlock’s first real date gets interrupted by a case.  Are they dressed up for a fancy evening, or wearing something more suited to fish and chips and a walk around the park?  -  Anonymous
Crossovers/Works set in or inspired by another specific fictional universe (ie Potter!lock)
I’d really like to see a Daemon (from the His Dark Materials books by Philip Pullman) version of Series 3/TAB/Series 4 (any or all of those), especially when it comes to the ILY scene.  -  Kay
iZombie!Sherlock – Think of this, if Sherlock gets infected we have: 1) Sherlock with white hair 2) Sherlock getting brains from Molly “for experiments” 3) Sherlock getting different attitudes (hippie brain = hippie!Sherlock) 4) Paler than normal pale Sherlock 5) Sherlock with red bloodshot eyes.  Also:  If Molly Hooper gets infected, it’s like she’s the Liv Moore of Barts.  Lestrade as Clive (and relieved to be not only depending on Sherlock to solve crimes).  Sherlock deduces Molly’s hair color and tan (because Molly can’t show up to work with white hair, even whiter skin color, and very slow pulse rate).  Major asshole Boss being the one shipping tainted Utopium to Britain.  -  The Silent Fangirl
Superwholock!Sherlolly  -  The Silent Fangirl
Doctor Who!Sherlock - Molly Hooper as a companion  -  The Silent Fangirl
Me Before You!Sherlock  -  The Silent Fangirl
Molly Hooper as “Mary Reilly”.  -  @darnedchild
Dracula!lock, but maybe mix it up just a little.  Sherlock as the object of Dracula’s affections (Mina) and/or Molly as the vampire expert (Van Helsing)?  -  @darnedchild
NEW – Sherlock and Lady Molly of Scotland Yard.  Molly Hooper as Lady Molly from “Lady Molly of Scotland Yard” with her crime solving partner Mary (Mortstan).  (Note from Mod - as of 3/8/2017, there are 21 days left to listen to the first three episodes of “Lady Molly of Scotland Yard” via BBC Radio 4 Extra on demand here)  -  @lullikiish
NEW – A Hades and Persephone AU with Molly as female Hades (the unrequited love at first, the proximity with death) and Sherlock as a male Persephone (the curiosity, the lack of eating).  Irene would be a great Poseidon (the chaos provided by the ocean, the sailor knots).  As for John, he would be a great Hermes!  -  Kay
Song fic/Inspired by lyrics
Song Fic:  Adele’s “Water Under the Bridge”  -  @darnedchild  *
Song Fic:  … I would love something based on “Samson” by Regina Spektor please.  -  @chelle812
Song Fic:  Katy Perry’s “Unconditionally”  -  @darnedchild
Song Fic:  Texas’ “I’ll See It Through”  -  @darnedchild
NEW – Song Fic:  … I’ve got a quote from a song.  “You only know you love her when you let her go.”  (Note from Mod - The song appears to be Passenger’s “Let Her Go”)  -  @flowerstar5
OT3/Sherlock, Molly, and ?
A case involving wine and stolen spatulas leads to Mycroft Holmes being attracted to Molly Hooper.  Too bad Molly’s had enough of the Holmeses, and Sherlock mooning over her really isn’t helping.  (Molly Hooper/Mycroft Holmes/Sherlock Holmes)  -  The Silent Fangirl
Molly wants to meet The Woman.  Irene and Sherlock are still friends, and Molly is curious.  Much to everyone’s surprise, Molly and Irene hit it off fairly quickly.  (Sherlock Holmes/Molly Hooper/Irene Adler)  -   Anonymous
When Sherlock is injured and stuck in a cast up to his thigh, Mary and Molly find out JUST how grumpy he can get.   They end up putting him by a window with binoculars, his pain medication, snacks, juice and his mobile.  What happens next?  (Molly Hooper/Sherlock Holmes/Mary (Morstan)Watson)  -  @penaltywaltz
Everything Else
Sherlock is undercover.  He’s renting a small place and he’s trying to fit in with the extremely old fashioned community that is probably hiding a deadly smuggling ring or something equally bad.  He ends up calling on Molly to come help.  Since he’s already established as an unmarried man, his ‘sister’ (or other family member) arrives for a visit.  Cue living in the same house while hot for each other type shenanigans while pretending to be siblings under the watchful eye of some suspicious townspeople.  -  Anonymous
Molly’s school reunion – Sherlock assumes he’ll be needed to help Molly show everyone up.  The catch:  Molly’s been a beloved peer, so it’s him who gets the obligatory “you hurt her, we’ll end you". :)  -  @mychakk
Sherlock sees a woman on the street.  Instantly intrigued (you can choose as to why) he follows her.  -  @mel-loves-all
Molly loves wearing Sherlock’s house robes.  -  @mel-loves-all
Molly has a piece of body piercing jewelry or a tattoo located somewhere that surprises and titillates Sherlock.  -  @mel-loves-all  *
Whenever Molly is close, Sherlock unconsciously always seems to need to touch her in some way after they start dating.  He doesn’t notice it, but Molly does.  -  @mel-loves-all
A midnight dance.  -  @mel-loves-all
John tries to set up Sherlock with a girl.  Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of contenders.  And what does Molly have to say about that?  -  The Silent Fangirl
Through unexpected circumstances, Sherlock and Molly get engaged.  It doesn’t end well.  Crack!fic  -  The Silent Fangirl
Eurus Holmes ships the Sherlolly.  So does John and Mycroft.  Soon, everyone gets dragged into the Sherlolly craze.  Crack!fic  -  The Silent Fangirl
Molly lives in the flat across from 221B.  You know, the one that exploded?   Yeah.  But before that, there was a) looking at the hot naked guy in the window b) said hot naked guy crashing into her flat because he just wants to c) her traitorous cat crossing the street to hot naked guy’s flat.  -  The Silent Fangirl
Sherlock:  A TV series featuring a hot guy with awesome deductive skills, his best friend the doctor, the exasperated detective inspector, the sweet landlady, and the pathologist.  And no, the pathologist isn’t in love with the hot guy. -  The Silent Fangirl
Molly stops being Sherlock’s pathologist, and starts being THE Pathologist.  BAMF!Molly  -  The Silent Fangirl
This, Sherlock thinks through the haze of cocaine, truly is the worst form of torture.  Mycroft and Molly’s wedding through Sherlock’s drug-addled POV.  -  The Silent Fangirl
Molly commits suicide, but only Sherlock thinks she didn’t.  He may not be wrong.  -  The Silent Fangirl
When John Watson dies, Rosie is given into the care of her godparents.   Problem is, they aren’t exactly on speaking terms.  Bonus for Harry Watson appearance!  -  The Silent Fangirl
Molly nearly gets hit by a speeding car … until Sherlock pushes her out of the way and gets hit himself.  H/C  -  The Silent Fangirl
Molly in labor.  After watching Mary in labor in TST, I kinda wanna see a funny take on Molly giving birth to her and Sherlock’s child.  Maybe something like Molly being in pain, she wishes out loud she’d never had sex with Sherlock, while Sherlock logically points out how well they emotionally and biologically fit together.  -  Anonymous
Fluff. Molly has been hospitalized for whatever reason.  She decides that she is feeling better and just wants to go home.  However, the hospital does not want to release her yet.  So Molly decides to leave AMA (against medical advice).  She feels she can recover at home just as well and also she is eager to get back to work.  Besides, who is going to know?   This is something someone might expect from Sherlock, but not Molly.   How long before he finds out?  What is his reaction?  -   @shadowyqueenbeard
Angst.  Molly discovers she is pregnant and is not happy about it.  Although she would love to have a baby at some point, right now is not the time.  She and Sherlock do not have a commitment and her career is going well.  She plans to terminate the pregnancy.  Sherlock finds out and tries to stop her.  He please with her to change her mind, marry him and be a family.  Is this just a control tactic or does he really love her?  -  @shadowyqueenbeard
Molly discovers there is Sherlock Holmes RPF (Real Person Fiction) on the internet.  She’s shocked to find that someone called Sherlolly4vr74 has been writing fic about her and Sherlock, and they seem to have a dedicated fan base.  Some of the stories are very sweet and romantic, some of them are hot enough to give her NSFW ideas.  Who is Sherlolly4vr74 (Is it Anderson?  Mrs Hudson?  Mary?  John?  I bet it’s John.) and is Sherlock aware of the stories?  -  @darnedchild
Eurus has been known to put on a persona and disguise to get close to people for information – she was Faith for Sherlock, E and the psychiatrist for John.  What if she had also spent some time around Molly prior to the events at Sherrinford?  What information would she have gleaned about her brother and his pathologist?  -  @darnedchild
Can they be R rated. Because I feel Sherlock would not muck about, with telling Molly what he would like to do to her, he would not use cute little names for all her female parts and would go into great detail, like all his cases. She would be his very serious case. Yes he would most defiantly do a lot of research on pleasing her. Write it however you are most comfortable with.  -  @oliverfel4
Sherlock and Molly are getting married!  It’s time to work on the guest list for the wedding, and suddenly they are faced with the question—Do they let Euros come, or not?  -  @celticmoonbeam
Shipwrecked Sherlolly—Sherlock saves Molly from drowning.  -  Anonymous
Euros leads Sherlock to believe that he failed, and Molly was killed after the ILY scene.  Much angst ensues as he blames himself for her loss … but then we get to see the happy reunion scene when he learns she’s alive.  -  Anonymous
Moriarty trying to up Sherlock by sleeping with Molly, but the joke is on him, as Sherlock and Molly knew each other from secondary school/uni and were each other’s firsts.  They can be regular (exclusive) lovers too.  -  @mychakk
Mary as matchmaker.  At John and Mary’s wedding, Mary feels a little sad when they leave him alone to go dance (“What about you?”).  She decides to make it her mission to help Sherlock find a girl so he’s not alone anymore.  And this former agent has no trouble figuring out the potential between Sherlock and a certain Molly Hooper … (Up to you whether or not you want to throw in a Janine segue before she decides to set him up with Molly.  And feel free to cover Sherlock being shot!) -  @celticmoonbeam
Molly discovers she’s pregnant with Sherlock’s child at the worst possible time:  while she’s with his parents, being hidden away, and the two are pretending to be just friends.  Bonus if they figure it out before they’re told!  -   @penaltywaltz
After the events of TFP, Molly and Sherlock get closer.  Suddenly, though, he pulls away and starts flirting with a coworker of hers, sometimes blatantly in front of her.   It isn’t until an event at Barts that the truth comes out that it was all for a case.  -  @penaltywaltz
Molly finds out that as a child Sherlock liked the book “The Westing Game” and for one of his birthdays she arranges a vacation mimicking the plot of the book, even if none of them really fit the particular characters.  -  @penaltywaltz
Sherlock wants to make a gourmet meal for Molly for a special occasion, but he doesn’t seem to get it quite right.  Fortunately, a friend/relative is willing to help.  -  @penaltywaltz
Sherlock moves in with Molly and begins perusing her book collection, picking up random books that have interesting looking covers, and the next thing Molly knows he’s turned into a fantasy buff.  -  @penaltywaltz  *
Non-established Sherlolly.  Sherlock gets a hold of Molly’s phone one afternoon and can’t resist snooping.  He’s surprised to see a folder in her photo gallery marked “Special” and it’s all photos of him.  -  @penaltywaltz
NEW – Have you had sex? – After Euros asked that I somehow thought “Molly??” (as Sherlock says, Irene only texts him, he doesn’t reply).   Later it seems that Euros is the only one who ever has noticed that Molly causes some emotions in him.  So my theory is that something happened between Molly and Sherlock, it happened pretty recently, somehow (stressful night and they talked or they had some drinks and somehow one thing led to another) they ended up having sex; but Sherlock wasn’t good at dealing with it after or something urgent came along and he didn’t really consider Molly’s emotions, he ran off right after or in the morning, and that could be the reason why Molly didn’t pick up the phone first and was in a bad mood during the “ILY scene”.  What happened between them recently is the reason why Molly is a bit rude to Sherlock when he calls, and the reason why she gets so emotional and raw so easily over the I Love You thing, and why she so easily tells him to say it first.  Well, then when Sherlock says “I love you” he finally realizes fully that he really does love her too, and that he is capable of loving that way, and finally sees how easy it could be and what he could lose.  Then after this whole thing he goes to talk to Molly and explain things to her.  -  @lullikiish
NEW – Complete me as a person. — Scene that popped into my mind.  Irene has been texting Sherlock again, Sherlock in the end almost agrees to meet her for dinner, but as he’s walking out of his flat while Molly is there looking after Rosie he sees Molly in kind of slo-mo in the golden evening sun holding Rosie and being all sweet.  Maybe already something a bit has happened before between them, some flirting, etc.  The talk with John about a relationship completing him as a person is on the back of his mind.  He walks out, but midway down the stairs while taking his phone out (symbolically in darkness compared to that evening sun) he realizes that he misses that warmth and Molly, and realizes that is what completes him.  He takes out his phone and texts he’s not coming and then goes back upstairs.  Sees Molly all adorable and confused/surprised in this beautiful light and maybe goes to kiss her, etc.  -   @lullikiish
NEW – A post TRF fic, where Sherlock takes Molly with him, but they return to London a couple years later than in canon because Molly got pregnant along the way (or even twice), so now they are three/four of them instead of two?  -   @mychakk
NEW – Victorian “Hooper”lock—Molly in disguise as “Hooper” the man, and they work together on a case and sparks fly.  They flirt and all, and Sherlock can’t figure out right away that she’s a woman, and I think it might not even bother him that much.  -  @lullikiish
NEW – “We had chips.  She liked me.” – Sherlock in TLD.  What could have been had he and Molly gotten chips in TEH:  A kick to Tom’s butt.  Happy greeting (a hug at least!) at the end of TEH.  Quite a lot of sex with Sherlock instead of Tom.  Molly the best man’s date.  A (sophisticated. Or not) Molly/Janine cat fight for Janine hitting on SH moments.  Dancing, so much Sherlolly dancing (and no leaving early).  Probably no Shezza (Shezzer?)—which, hmm, is a shame (But maybe they’ve their own not-being-on-a-sex-holiday-but-sexing-a-lot time).  A real proposal to Molly.  Molly at family Christmas, maybe even a Christmas wedding.   Solving CAM without the threat of exile sharpens Sherlock’s deductive abilities.   No Norbury as Molly’s already expecting their first offspring, so Sherlock doesn’t taunt needlessly.  Mary as the Sherlolly baby godmother as she’s alive!  Culverton Smith is taken down by the duo of Mary and Molly while the latter gives birth there (because the ladies are awesome, plus Mrs H tackles him down).  John is so impressed he doesn’t look at any other women.  Molly’s big heart brings Eurus from her metaphoric plane the moment she steps into 221B, plus baby Holmes wins her heart too.  The Holmes family reconciliation and Eurus is in therapy instead of being a multi-killer.  Baker Street Boys Team continues while Baker Street Girls Team gives them a run for their money.  Mycroft asks Lady Smallwood out himself to her astonishment and internal squealing.  Mummy Holmes gets more grandkids than she could’ve imagined.  And basically, everyone walks happily into the sunset.  The End.  Please note, some things can obviously be modified.  -  @mychakk

Molly finds out that as a child Sherlock liked the book “The Westing Game” and for one of his birthdays she arranges a vacation mimicking the plot of the book, even if none of them really fit the particular characters.  -  @penaltywaltz
Sherlock wants to make a gourmet meal for Molly for a special occasion, but he doesn’t seem to get it quite right.  Fortunately, a friend/relative is willing to help.  -  @penaltywaltz
Sherlock moves in with Molly and begins perusing her book collection, picking up random books that have interesting looking covers, and the next thing Molly knows he’s turned into a fantasy buff.  -  @penaltywaltz  *
Non-established Sherlolly.  Sherlock gets a hold of Molly’s phone one afternoon and can’t resist snooping.  He’s surprised to see a folder in her photo gallery marked “Special” and it’s all photos of him.  -  @penaltywaltz
Have you had sex? – After Euros asked that I somehow thought “Molly??” (as Sherlock says, Irene only texts him, he doesn’t reply).  Later it seems that Euros is the only one who ever has noticed that Molly causes some emotions in him.  So my theory is that something happened between Molly and Sherlock, it happened pretty recently, somehow (stressful night and they talked or they had some drinks and somehow one thing led to another) they ended up having sex; but Sherlock wasn’t good at dealing with it after or something urgent came along and he didn’t really consider Molly’s emotions, he ran off right after or in the morning, and that could be the reason why Molly didn’t pick up the phone first and was in a bad mood during the “ILY scene”.  What happened between them recently is the reason why Molly is a bit rude to Sherlock when he calls, and the reason why she gets so emotional and raw so easily over the I Love You thing, and why she so easily tells him to say it first.   Well, then when Sherlock says “I love you” he finally realizes fully that he really does love her too, and that he is capable of loving that way, and finally sees how easy it could be and what he could lose.  Then after this whole thing he goes to talk to Molly and explain things to her.  -  @lullikiish
Complete me as a person. — Scene that popped into my mind.  Irene has been texting Sherlock again, Sherlock in the end almost agrees to meet her for dinner, but as he’s walking out of his flat while Molly is there looking after Rosie he sees Molly in kind of slo-mo in the golden evening sun holding Rosie and being all sweet.  Maybe already something a bit has happened before between them, some flirting, etc.  The talk with John about a relationship completing him as a person is on the back of his mind.  He walks out, but midway down the stairs while taking his phone out (symbolically in darkness compared to that evening sun) he realizes that he misses that warmth and Molly, and realizes that is what completes him.  He takes out his phone and texts he’s not coming and then goes back upstairs.  Sees Molly all adorable and confused/surprised in this beautiful light and maybe goes to kiss her, etc.  -  @lullikiish
A post TRF fic, where Sherlock takes Molly with him, but they return to London a couple years later than in canon because Molly got pregnant along the way (or even twice), so now they are three/four of them instead of two?  -  @mychakk
Victorian “Hooper”lock—Molly in disguise as “Hooper” the man, and they work together on a case and sparks fly.  They flirt and all, and Sherlock can’t figure out right away that she’s a woman, and I think it might not even bother him that much.  -  @lullikiish
“We had chips.  She liked me.” – Sherlock in TLD.  What could have been had he and Molly gotten chips in TEH:  A kick to Tom’s butt.  Happy greeting (a hug at least!) at the end of TEH.  Quite a lot of sex with Sherlock instead of Tom.  Molly the best man’s date.  A (sophisticated. Or not) Molly/Janine cat fight for Janine hitting on SH moments.  Dancing, so much Sherlolly dancing (and no leaving early).  Probably no Shezza (Shezzer?)—which, hmm, is a shame (But maybe they’ve their own not-being-on-a-sex-holiday-but-sexing-a-lot time).  A real proposal to Molly.  Molly at family Christmas, maybe even a Christmas wedding.   Solving CAM without the threat of exile sharpens Sherlock’s deductive abilities.   No Norbury as Molly’s already expecting their first offspring, so Sherlock doesn’t taunt needlessly.  Mary as the Sherlolly baby godmother as she’s alive!  Culverton Smith is taken down by the duo of Mary and Molly while the latter gives birth there (because the ladies are awesome, plus Mrs H tackles him down).  John is so impressed he doesn’t look at any other women.  Molly’s big heart brings Eurus from her metaphoric plane the moment she steps into 221B, plus baby Holmes wins her heart too.  The Holmes family reconciliation and Eurus is in therapy instead of being a multi-killer.  Baker Street Boys Team continues while Baker Street Girls Team gives them a run for their money.  Mycroft asks Lady Smallwood out himself to her astonishment and internal squealing.  Mummy Holmes gets more grandkids than she could’ve imagined.  And basically, everyone walks happily into the sunset.  The End.  Please note, some things can obviously be modified.  -  @mychakk
