The soothing motion of Carlisle’s car came to a gentle stop that didn’t completely wake me up. But the cold arms reaching under me to lift me from the vehicle certainly did. As he began to lift me, Jasper made sure to secure the hem of my dress for my modesty causing me to smile sleepily at his thoughtfulness.
“What are you thinking about, sweetheart?” He asks quietly, speaking softly into my hairline.
“You.” I blush immediately at my whispered confession, keeping my eyes closed and face buried in his shoulder.
“Mmm, I think I like sleepy Y/n.” He says with a chuckle that rumbles through me.
I finally look up at our surroundings, noticing we’re at his house instead of mine.
“Why-”
“Your mom isn’t expecting us until tomorrow afternoon, normal people don’t make a twenty-four hour drive without sleeping.” Somehow he manages to open the front door without setting me down. “So, you’re going to get some rest while I go for a hunt.”
I blink up at him slowly as he continues his path through his house. I get another day with him? Well, however much is left once his hunger is satiated.
“My siblings are at school, Esme is redecorating with one of her clients, and Carlisle is at the hospital so the house is yours for most of the day.” Jasper explains, walking down the hallway and finally into his room before returning me gently back to solid ground.
His massive king bed is as immaculately made as the first time I saw it and just as inviting. The longer I admire the fluffy black duvet and mountain of pillows, the more aware I am of all the little aches and pains sleeping in the car caused. Not to mention the lingering tenderness of my healing ribs and the other broken parts of me.
Jasper turns me to face his black gaze, “Climb in and get some sleep, Esme stocked the kitchen for you and I’ll be back before you know it.” It comes out almost robotic, but I see that he’s trying - his hunger covers every inch of his face and keeps his body rigid.
“Take your time, I won’t leave without you.” I reassure him with a half smile, especially since I never made that exact promise in the hotel.
He leans in to plant a kiss to my temple before he’s gone with a small breeze and a lingering coolness on my skin as the only signs he was just there. Sighing, I slide the thick drapes closed to stop the morning sun from shining through the beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows.
I stop in the doorway to his closet before reaching the bed, contemplating snooping for something more comfortable to sleep in. Would stealing a shirt be too much? We aren’t even dating, but I do have permission to sleep in his bed… the dresser on the far wall tempts me forward. What’s one shirt to a vampire?
Sliding open the middle drawer in search of anything comfier than a dress, a small note card is waiting on top of his neatly folded shirts:
He doesn’t mind one bit.
- A
Christ, this woman thinks of everything. Grinning, I step out of my sundress and pick up a black short sleeve that’s a couple sizes too big. It hits the tops of my thighs, but since I’m home alone - I don’t think twice before climbing into his bed and situating myself for a much needed rest.
Inhaling the scent that’s so distinctly Jasper Hale, sleep finds me easily for the first time in a very long time.
Tumblr media
Jasper
She’s in my shirt. In my bed. In my room. My sheets twisted around her legs. My pillows cradling her body. My scent mingling with hers and settling into the walls, the carpet, the bookshelves, the bed, my lungs.
I close my eyes and slowly retreat out of my room, shutting the door almost completely silent and resting my head on the wood.
“You good?” Emmett’s question almost startles me right out of my skin.
I sigh, “That hunt was almost for fucking nothing.” I turn my darkening eyes toward my brother to see surprise sweeping his face.
“You just got back!” He whisper yells with a wide-eyed look, knowing Y/n is asleep.
“She’s-” a low growl gets the better of me and I immediately tamp it down, closing my eyes in concentration.
A chuckle poorly contained slips from my brother and my eyes burst open to give him a deadly glare.
“You got it bad, brother.” He claps my shoulder with one of his massive hands and steers me down the hallway, putting distance between me and my greatest temptation. “You’ve got it so bad.”

I wake with a yawn and a stretch, relishing in the softness of Jasper’s sheets.
My eyes snap open. Jasper’s sheets.
I’m in Jasper Hale’s bed, wearing his shirt and my underwear and nothing else.
Shooting up into a sitting position, I glance around wildly trying to determine what time it was, but my eyes stop in the corner of his room. Jasper, sitting in a chair reading a book by a dim lamp.
“It’s almost seven, you slept most of the day. How was your nap, darlin’?” Setting his book down on his lap, he meets my gaze with a sly grin before sliding his eyes down my legs. “I see you made yourself comfortable.”
I gasp, “I-I uh-” fumbling for an explanation as to why I’m half-naked in his bed and absolutely failing.
“Sweetheart, it’s alright. A very nice view to come home to, so I guess you could say it’s more than alright.” He stalks forward slowly, light brown eyes holding me in a trance.
I blush deeply at his words and pull the blankets up to my chest, wishing these sheets could swallow me up.
Just then, a knock at the door and Alice pokes her head inside, “Oh good - you’re up! Get decent, everyone is getting together in the living room for movie night!” She finishes with a wink and is gone as fast as she arrived.
Jasper disappears into his closet and re-emerges with a pair of black sweats, setting them in my lap and leaning forward to whisper in my ear, “Can’t have a lady walking around in just my shirt, huh darlin’?”
Watching him duck out of the room so that I can slip on the bottoms, I contemplate making a run for it to put an end to all this teasing. The blush on my cheeks might as well be permanent.
Tumblr media
Jasper
Movie night, really? I direct the thought at Edward and watch him throw a bored, pointed look at our scheming sister before leaving.
Alice replies with a grin, tossing me a blanket presumably for Y/n, “Oh hush, I’m just doing my sisterly duty of moving things along.” She floats past us, preparing the rom-com she selected.
“Don’t even look at me.” Rose waves a hand in dismissal as I raise my eyebrows at her, “I want nothing to do with your human.”
“C’mon, babe-” Emmett whines, but stops at the murderous look in his mate’s eyes. He continues anyways with a semi-serious whisper, “It’s the first time in like, forever since he’s even come close to getting any-”
I cut his inappropriate sentence off with a pillow to the face just as Y/n turns the corner into the room.
“Vampires have pillow fights at night?” She asks playfully, scanning the couch for a spot to sit. My clothes are swarming her and it stirs something I thought was long dead in my chest.
“Vampires do a lot of things at-” Emmett teases her, but this time Rosalie is the one to stop him with a smack to his chest.
Shaking my head, I find a spot on the opposite end of the long sectional from Emmett so as to limit the teasing. Embarrassment and a little something else I can’t quite put my finger on flows from her, so I pat the empty space next to me and hold out my hand for her to take. Once she’s settled with her legs tucked against her chest, I turn to ask Alice to press play and find her already giving me a pointed look. I wrap my arm around Y/n and pull her closer to settle against me, my sister smiles self-satisfied before hopping to the couch and starting the movie.
“Relax, sweetheart.” I whisper in her hair and I’m immediately shushed by Rose.
Y/n finally releases the tension in her body about five minutes into the movie and ten minutes after that, her legs are in my lap with the blanket pulled up to her chin.
“Alice, Rose? Can I get your help with opinions for a client?” Esme calls as she walks through the doorway to the garage halfway into the movie. “And Emmett, mind picking up Carlisle after his shift, sweetheart? I took his car this morning.”
All three of my siblings leave the room, Alice tossing me the remote and Emmett not-so-subtly flashing me a wink. He disappears before Y/n could notice and I could throw another pillow.
I feel her nerves ramp up as the house quiets again, I attempt to ground her by sliding a hand around her ankle under the blanket and it immediately has the opposite effect. Turning to her, she’s already watching me with her mouth open ready to say something, but it’s stuck. So my eyes drift to her mouth, lips that have tempted me from day fucking one. I know she sees what I’m fixated on, because her breath hitches and I tighten my grip on her ankle minutely - not to be painful, but a warning.
“Jasper-”
“May I?” I ask zoned in on her lips, unable to even want to hold myself back anymore. A curious Icarus to her solar flame.
She nods in a daze as my fingers trail her chin, but it’s not enough. “Words, darlin’. I need you to-”
But she’s leaning forward with a whisper, “Yes, Jasper.”
I swear time stops as a buzzing drowns my ears. Breaths puff from her beautiful lips in short spurts, anticipation oozes from her. I have to take a few seconds to collect myself, my mind running rampant.
I slide my hand around to cradle the back of her head and tilt it backwards, the tv casting a warm glow on her face. A shiver wracks through her and I tense, “Do not move.” The request is more of an order and she obeys instantly.
Leaning forward, her warm breath fans across my face before it stops with a sharp inhale. The only sound is her pounding heart and I swear it stutters as I gently meet her lips with mine.
Burning. This burning feeling starts where my lips tangle with hers and it travels down my throat to grip my rock-solid heart in a painful squeeze. Her mouth is warm and pliant where mine is cold and unyielding. Her nose is pressed against mine like a puzzle piece I’ve been missing. It’s absolutely bliss, her lips molding to mine, better than any indulgence I could possibly think up. Her quickening heart rate reminds me to reluctantly retreat - humans and their need for air.
I separate just barely from her mouth and she sucks in a gasp that tears my soul from my chest making me want to dive right back in. Opening my eyes to make sure this is in fact reality, hers are still lightly shut, bliss emanating from every single pore.
How on earth do I go about my day now? Knowing this perfection exists? She’s human, I can’t very well spend eternity kissing her here on this couch.
My groan causes her eyes to flash open and I notice they’re completely dilated, a dangerous observation for my control.
“Are you? I-I mean, did you not-”
“Don’t even finish that sentence.” My voice comes out huskier than I’d like and instantly she relaxes in my grip.
I push back a single strand of hair that blew across her face as I let out a long breath, barely an inch of space between us still. My willpower is at an all time low as we continue to stare at each other in somewhat surprise.
“Jaz?”
“Yes, darlin’?” I’m utterly raptured by her, firmly ensnared by this gorgeous girl - even more so than the moment I met her.
“Can… Can I?” Her question is open and tentative, but I can tell exactly what she wants and I’ll be damned if I don’t give it to her.
“Anything you want, it’s yours sweetheart.” It’s my turn to hold still, to wait patiently for her to come to me.

Holy fucking shit.
This without a doubt is what it’s like to have an addiction at first taste. Jasper Hale just kissed me and I’m about to kiss him, again.
I lean forward and smooth my hands up his chest to the base of his head, my fingers finding the short ringlets that hide under the bulk of his beautiful blonde hair. He’s deathly still with his eyes closed, allowing me to take the lead - but I also know this is a tricky situation with his control.
My nose bumps his as my eyes flutter closed and it’s his turn to elicit a sharp inhale. Nerves begin to flood my throat with cotton, but they’re gone almost as quickly, Jasper wiping them away with probably half a thought.
I closed the minuscule gap and my lips brush his a little deeper this time, relishing in the temperature difference. Kissing Jasper is in a category of its own, gone are the days I’ll ever settle for the warm mouth of any plain boy ever again.
Opening my lips enough to snake my tongue out for just a taste-
Suddenly there’s a couch-worth of separation between us and both of us are gasping for air like we’ve just run a marathon. His eyes are wide and wild, a darker brown than I distinctly remember a few moments ago.
“I-I’m so sorry,” his voice is strained and his hands are digging through his hair roughly, “Forgive me, darlin’-”
He fumbles at a loss for words, mouth opening and closing with no sound. Immediately I feel terrible because I pushed a boundary he wasn’t ready for.
“Jasper, please-I messed up and I’m so sorry.” I plead from my spot, scared to go and comfort him.
“I’m sorry sweetheart, I should have my shit together-” but I stop his panicked apology.
“Look at me, please.” His eyes snap to mine at the request. I scoot closer to him slowly, stopping just within arms reach so as not to invade his personal space. “Can you close your eyes and just, feel with me?”
He takes half a second of hesitation before trusting me, his dark eyes snapping closed with a furrow in his brow. Taking a deep breath, I close my own and focus on exuding positive energy. Calm, content, tranquil - my mind running over any remotely helpful feeling to settle his inner turmoil. After a few moments of the impromptu meditation session, I open my eyes feeling much more relaxed. Staring back at me is the face of a much calmer, but shocked man.
“Did that work? I wasn’t sure, but-”
“You… No one has ever done something like that-darlin’.” Once again I’ve rendered him speechless and it brings a smile to my lips.
“Get used to it Hale, you’re stuck with me now.” I tell him, smug.
“Is that so?” He pulls me closer to him with a grin on his lips, the joy in my chest causing a laugh to burst from me as I toss my head back.
There isn’t a single place I’d rather be than his arms and I’m so glad he’s constantly opening pieces of himself up to let me worm my way inside.

so recently my fascination with "twilight" has returned to me. At the same time, I saw that you have open requests, so I would like to ask for a dose of Jasper x male! Reader. To be honest I will take everything, but I thought about the fact that the reader is a kind of support for Jasper, who still has a problem with control. Maybe m/n is his adoptive son, whom he found somewhere lonely and, despite difficult experiences, is still smiling. I will be grateful for everything and wish you best
Tumblr media
Anytime you see {} those mean thoughts and will be how the Wolves will communicate. 
Jasper had stayed away from you when he met you. He didn’t want to hurt you. Or trigger a shift far before you were ready. But, that ship had sailed. Yes you were a Quileute. Your name was Y/N Uley, Sam Uley’s nephew. Sam’s sister, your mother, Was coming to La Push at the request of Sam. He had never met his nephew and wanted to see for himself if you had the potential to be a wolf. As alpha Sam had the ability to see who has the potential to be a wolf. Sam and his sister had a falling out the year you were born. You see, Your mother was Sam’s big sister. While Your grandfather's leaving had an impact on Sam, he was just three years old. Your mother was six years old and it devastated her. It affected her more as she came into puberty and her teenage hormones. She acted out a lot. She partied, drank, smoked and slept with everyone in her age group both on the reservation and in Forks. 
Sam looked up to his sister a lot as he grew up. But, there came a point where he was no longer ignorant of what his sister was up to.  When Sam found out she started sleeping with married men that was when he confronted his sister. He didn’t like that his sister slept with Boys from school but it was her choice, but he drew the line at sleeping with men that were married and had kids. The fight was ugly. Sam tried to be respectful, he really did but when Y/M/N brought Embry Call, Their twelve year old half brother, into the fight that was when Sam lost his cool. Say what you want about Sam Uley, but he protects his family no matter what. The fight ended up with your nineteen year old mother sleeping with a tribe elder. She left La Push when she found out she was pregnant with you. Sam had tried to make amends many times in the five years since his sister left and the four years since your birth. Those attempts had become more frequent once he shifted. While still pissed at his sister, Sam had to be sure you would not shift and the only way to do that was to meet you. 
So that’s how you found yourself in the backseat of your mom’s car ten hours into an eighteen hour drive from Los Angeles to La push. Thank God your mom had gotten you a DVD player. Well, you were a silent kid, always had been. If it weren’t for the fact you’d learnt how to speak and had some friends your mother would have thought you were a retard. Your mother, while she did not hit you or abuse you in that way, she was emotionally abusive. She mostly hated you because you looked so much like a mix of your grandfather and your father. So much so that your mother resented you heavily. 
She loved you but she had a hard time separating you from the men you were descended from. You did your best not to upset your mommy. You didn’t know why your mommy was mean to you but all you knew was that you wanted to make her happy. And for the most part you did. You were the best kid in preschool, You never acted up, you never were mean to the other kids, you were never disrespectful to your teacher and you worked the hardest out of all the kids combined. All of this pleased your mommy but she still resented you and it broke your heart. So when your mommy told you that the two of you were heading to meet your uncles you just nodded like a good boy was supposed to but on the inside you hoped your uncles to be nicer to you than your mommy. 
The car you and your mommy were traveling in had made it to forks in record time. The car was on the road leading to La Push when something, or more accurately some one, hit the side of the car. It went spiraling out of control and into the forest. Your mommy looked at you making sure you were okay. Your mommy had a nasty cut on her forehead near her hairline. You went to answer her when a Red headed female with red eyes appeared in front of the windshield. Your mommy paled, she knew the Quileute legends. How could she not? Even with her father gone she went to the bonfires where Billy Black would tell the stories. She also knew those weren’t legends. They were as real as lions. When Sam shifted He had called her and informed her the way to identify ‘the cold ones’ AKA vampires. Your mommy knew time was of the essence. She reached back to unbuckle your seatbelt. She did this as quietly as possible and also used sign language to tell you to run to La Push beach and find anyone shirtless with a tattoo on their shoulder. You knew what your mommy was planning and you wanted to tell her not to do it. The look on her face told you shouldn’t.
You nodded, your heart breaking at the love for you that showed in your mommy’s eyes. You didn’t want this to be happening. You wanted to wake up in your car seat safe, no wired woman trying to hurt your mom. But, it was happening, The wired woman was attacking, you knew you had to listen to your mommy. So you did, You opened the door as quietly as you could. The woman didn’t seem to notice as she jumped on the hood. With one final look from your mommy, you bolted from the car not noticing your body’s temperature rise. You followed the smell of the ocean you lived by the beach in LA so you knew what to look for. As you ran you heard howls of wolves. You didn’t know why but this made your temperature even hotter. You could see the beach up ahead. You renewed your speed. If you made it to the beach then you could find someone with a tattoo and get help. Though all the sudden you felt a shouting pain from the middle of your back. You tried to keep going. But, it was too much for you. You fell to your knees. You swore you were hulstianteing, your hands had changed to paws, you could feel your bones break and reshape, you could feel your mouth change into a snout. When all was said and done you were a wolf. You were scared, your car was just attacked, your mommy sent you to find someone shirtless with a tattoo and now? And now you have just changed into a wolf. You really hoped this was a dream. 
You let a whimper out. You tried to speak but it didn’t come out as english. You let out a howl when you heard a scream, It was your mommy’s. You looked back towards the beech and started to run in that direction. It was sloppy and not at all graceful but you knew that once the Redheaded lady finished with your mommy she would come after you. You ran and ran and ran as hard as you could. You were pretty sure that if it weren’t for the fact that this lady wanted to kill you, you would have collapsed long ago. You had made it to the beach when you heard evil chuckling. 
“Oh this is too good! First I find out that Uley has a sister and a nephew, but then the nephew shifted before he’s even out of pull-ups?” The lady burst into cakaling and you were confused. You knew your name Was Y/N Uley and that you had an uncle. But, what did she mean by Shifting? Is that what made you turn into a wolf? Why would she enjoy hurting you or your uncle? It was too much. You tried to speak and ask what she meant but it came out as a bark. “I’m sorry, I don’t speak mutt.” You don’t know why but you felt insulted by that comment. You were screwed. There was no way around her. You thought you could try to swim for it but you had a feeling that you’d drown before you got any help. You were brought out of your thoughts by a menacing growl. You looked to the treeline and saw a pack of wolves burst from the forest. One in particular caught your eyes. A black wolf with honey brown eyes, He was growling something fierce but not at you, he was growling at the lady. A russet brown wolf blocked the others from your sight as he lowered his head to look you in the eyes. 
         {You okay kid?} You blinked at the voice in your head. You knew somehow that the voice belonged to the wolf in front of you. {Y-yeah…I tink so..} You answered as the larger wolf herded you away from the fight. {I’m Jacob, Can you tell me your name?} Jacob asked as he curled his body around you how a wolf would protect its young. {Y/N Uley…Dat scream…it was mommy’s wasn’t it?} You were one of the smartest four year olds anyone had met. Sometimes too smart. Jacob didn’t want to tell you. He knew what it was like to lose a mother. He knew Sam wanted to be the one to tell you and he knew how important it was to hear it from someone who was blood. {Your uncle will tell you once he takes care of that leech.} You knew Jacob was keeping something from you but after the day you’ve had and the energy that shifting had taken from you you shifted back to your human form. Jacob let a wolf like chuckle out as he lifted you on his back as the Cullen house came into view. You had fallen asleep as he shifted back and handed you to Carlisle. 
You woke up in an unfamiliar room. You kept yourself from panicking. You didn’t know why but you felt safe. You looked around the room and you were put at ease. It was open and warm, The entire right wall was a window. The walls were a light blue. You were under the covers and you never felt safer. As you took your surroundings in there was a knock on the door. The door opened up not even a second later. A large man walked in and you instantly knew the man was your uncle. The second he saw you were awake he rushed over to the side of the bed. He immediately pulled you into his chest and you couldn’t hold your tears. It was a waterfall. You felt so safe in your uncle’s arms. You tried to speak. To ask him his name, too try to make sure this man was your uncle. You tried, but all that came out of your mouth was sobs. 
“Shhhhh, Shhhhh, shhhhh. It’s okay Bud. It’s okay, Uncle Sam has you now, my brave little wolf.” To any other kid the nickname would insult them. But, to you it was a great comfort to you. You settled down. Your sobs turned to quiet sniffles. You calmed down and your uncle rubbed your hair. It was then Sam told you everything. Vampires, shifters, the Cullens, the pack, Victoria, your  mom’s death. He also told you that you were one of the Cullens mate. Jasper Whitlock Hale Cullen. You were curious about the Texan vampire. You wanted to meet a vampire because up to this point if someone were to ask you what a vampire was, you’d think of Scooby-Doo or Buffy The Vampire Slayer. When you met the Cullens you were welcomed with open arms. Except for Edward’s mate, Bella, But you were told to ignore her and to shift if she annoyed you. When you looked into Jasper’s amber eyes you felt as if nothing else mattered than the blonde vampire in front of you. You could vaguely hear one of the other wolves say, “Well at least we know if a vampire is a shifter’s mate then the shifter will imprint.” It was decided that due to the nature of your imprint and very early shift you would live with the Cullens with daily wellness checks by one of the pack to ensure you are taken care of. The Cullens would attend the funeral for your mother. 
“Do I weally have ta wear this suit Auntie Ally?” You asked/whined at the pixie vampire. Alice was helping you into a fashionable suit. You absolutely hated it. In the short week you had been with the Cullens Alice, Rosalie had spoiled you rotten with clothes, toys, stuffies, books and DVD’s. It was an entrance wonder to the male Cullens and the pack on how you managed to remain the same humble four year old you were before Victoria. Alice rolled her eyes for the eight hundredth time that morning. The pixie would never admit it but her mate, Rosalie, was right. You HATED the suit. “Y/N Uley-Cullen, we’ve been over this. You only need to wear the jacket and tie for the service then at the wake you can just wear your vest.” Though you couldn’t hear the snorts and chuckles from the others in the house Alice could. And it annoyed her that her family was right. She had dressed all the Cullens and pack and when it came to your outfit Jasper, Edward, Carlisle and your uncle tried to convince Alice to put you in a button up shirt, vest, dress pants and dress up shoes as well a vest. Alice didn’t listen. And now you were being dressed and in a suit that would not be out of place in a wedding. 
“Bu it vewy uncomfortable.” Your voice lacked the whine that it did the last complaint. Alice didn’t understand why you were so against the suit. “And Mommy wudden wanna see me uncomfortable.” And Alice got it then. It wasn’t that you didn’t like the suit. It was that you wanted your last memory of your mom to be a comfortable one. Before Alice could respond Jasper spoke from the doorway to your room. “I got it Ally. Go make sure Claire and Seth don’t ruin their outfit.” And at the prospect of two of the youngest ruining their outfits the pixie ran out of your room. Jasper walked towards you. You were surprised to see him dressed like he was going to the funeral. “Thoughts yous wasn going?” Jasper knelt down to help you into the full suit. “I wasn’t darlin. But you’re going to be uncomfortable in that suit. And I want to be with you. And you help me with my control. So, how bout we help each other, Darlin?” You smiled as big as you could. 
Once Jasper had gotten you in your suit you all headed to the funeral. Jasper let you sit in his lap so you would be able to feel him if you needed comfort. It was a beautiful service. You were truly impressed by how many people came out. Your mom never told you much about her life before you. When the service was over you and Jasper went up to the casket. You wanted your mom to meet Jasper before they put her in the ground. Jasper was silent as you stepped up. He knew how important this was for you. “Hi Mommy. I miss you. Uncle Sammy misses you. I Miss you too. I wanna introduce you ta someone. I’s found my imprint. He a very, very, very nice vampire. He say you in a better place. He very brave today. He has hard time no eatin people. But I wike him, he and his family love me an uncle Sammy check on me to make sure he don hurt me. I hope to see you again soon Mommy. Love yous.” After you finish you were picked up by Jasper. It didn’t matter that your mom was dead because you Had Jasper to make you happy. And Jasper had you to help him with his bloodlust. And that was enough for the both of you.

You know, I feel like we definitely need to talk crossovers at some point… Glee, Descendants, Wizarding World, whatever you want, I feel like our OCs would go so good together. 🤭
Okay in a strange turn of events considering what I asked you, I ended up overwhelmed by all the options I first immediately thought of?? But here is the big List pls tell me anything else you can think of I love anything and everything
And I left most of these vague on whether it’s platonic or even romantic so?? Lmk!!
Glee
Audrey + Beatrice (Bea would absolutely adore her, she’d love Audrey so much and think she’s so great)
Audrey + Carrie (Honestly this is mostly fc bias cause of Dumplin’ but I do think they’d be fun. Carrie is a bitch tbh but she can be a nice bitch, she’d question Audrey’s taste in Finn a little though)
Audrey + Felicity (Felicity is so kind and sweet to everyone she would welcome Audrey so fast)
Audrey + Giselle (Giselle is always welcoming she is usually the clubs mom friend she would love her)
Audrey + Saoirse (You know how Rory got attached to Sam a bit for American life, I think that’d be Saoirse and Audrey)
Audrey + Scott (I think this is one that would have a little buildup cause Scott isn’t a dick but he isn’t offering a bunch of friendliness right away either. But he does get really close to Coach Beiste and I see that being their in)
Audrey + Xavier (He’s a menace and annoying and he’ll flirt with her way too much but he means well)
Audrey + Zeke (Cousins! Zeke would love her! He’d also wanna fight anyone being mean he is a chill skater boy but also that’s his favorite person)
Leo + Ashton (As a baseline Ashton hates jocks except he doesn’t he thinks they’re hot. I think they’d have such an interesting dynamic tbh with Ashton’s attitude and them both being closeted)
Leo + CJ (CJ would think he’s so cool. He’d probably wanna talk his ear off tbh but I think he’d like Leo a lot)
Leo + Giselle (I love me some MLM/WLW solidarity these two can be that that’s the thought process. Plus he likes her brother so she’s supporting that)
Leo + Leonard (They’re both Leo’s I don’t have too much thinking here tbh. Leonard will make him pastries and probably have a crush on him tbh)
Leo + Scott (Hockey teammates hockey teammates. Scott would at least be more likely to talk to him quicker than some other crossovers because of hockey but he’s also like so singularly focused on hockey until the New Directions makes him open up so, it’d be rough but I’m so here for them)
Leo + Xavier (Also hockey teammates! Xavier would be chill with him for sure. Both from different states and having to deal with Lima weirdness, though Xavier would definitely seem more like the other assholes on the team but he’s chill really)
Parker + Ashton (Ashton would be so chill with them. He’s got his little skank bad boy rep so Parker is definitely up his alley to hang)
Parker + Carrie (Unexpected duo. Carrie is popular and ambitious and bitchy but?? I feel like she’d like Parker. Maybe cause they don’t give a fuck I feel like she’d respect that)
Parker + CJ (CJ thinks they’re the coolest person ever he will be wanting to copy their look and everything else. The ideal person to him)
Parker + Jasper (Idk i think Jasper would like Parker a lot he would be down for their whole vibe)
Parker + Steve (I don’t have too many thoughts I just think Steve could be into them and their whole thing)
Parker + Xavier (Honestly their storyline with Puck would just also work with Xavier though he’s more accepting)
Bruno + Ashton (I just like giving Ashton crossovers. I think it’d take a little bit but Ashton would definitely be into hanging out)
Bruno + Carrie (I think Carrie would end up liking Bruno a lot, she’s here to have one favorite New Directions member and it’d be him)
Bruno + Christina (I truly have no basis for this I just think they’d be so fun together)
Bruno + Isadora (I feel like they could hatch a plan together, be a little mischievous to get Mike and Tina to date them instead)
Ivy + Ashton (Honestly anyone that goes against the grain is cool with Ashton. He’d be down for her)
Ivy + Beatrice (She would think she’s so cool oh my god, number one fan she’s so impressed by her existence)
Ivy + Isadora (They are so similar I love it. Isadora would be so okay hanging out with Ivy and tbh after she stopped being friends with Santana and Brittany I see her being like “Ivy is my best friend now bye”)
Ivy + Sophia (Sophia would respect her sm. She is constantly arguing with people cause of Kurt so she would love Ivy standing up to people)
Ivy + Steve (Steve loves Broadway and would be amused by how outspoken she is so I think they’d end up being pretty chill
Bailey + Ashton (Honestly the idea of a little southern belle type befriending an asshole like Ashton is just really good to me)
Bailey + CJ (He has a crush on her. I have no doubt he has a crush on her. A very big embarrassing crush he would think she’s so great)
Bailey + Isadora (Their looks and aesthetic are so opposite and I love it I think they’d be great. Isadora would like her)
Bailey + Leonard (He’d love her, he’d love how nice he is because he’s ridiculously nice so it would be a great pair)
Bailey + Saoirse (Bailey has a southern accent, Saoirse has an Irish accent, I think they’d have conversations people wouldn’t understand and I love it)
Bailey + Scott (I just like Scott with a lot your people I’m sorry. I think she’d melt his little “Ice King” exterior pretty quickly)
Mara + Giselle (Giselle would love everything about her. The jewelry, being an out lesbian, all of it she is a big fan)
Mara + Jasper (Jasper shows up in Lima and he instantly decides he likes Mara that’s the rules)
Mara + Jupiter (Jupiter would find her weird I won’t deny that but she also is not against that at all she’d be charmed by it)
Mara + Saoirse (Saoirse would also love her. She would be so interested in everything about her)
Descendants
Greta + Cadence (I had to try to not give every VK I have but anyways. Cadence is not supposed to be in Auradon but she is here anyways which I think would already get Greta’s attention)
Greta + Emmeline (Emmeline is too friendly always so if Greta wanted one person in Auradon it would be her)
Greta + Gabriel (Besides the fact of Gabriel being my crossover boy I think he’d vibe with her a lot. He doesn’t wanna be here but she would be easy to befriend)
Greta + Hallie (Hallie would originally wanna befriend Greta to gain Auradon trust but once Greta’s friends with the VKs I think I can see them becoming friends)
Greta + Jackie (These two I see vibing a lot. Very cool together, Jackie would show up with the VKs unannounced and be very chill with Greta)
Greta + Ruby (Ruby would honestly be jealous of how open and herself she is so I think Ruby would definitely seem like one of the people that doesn’t like her but they’d grow close!!)
Sebastian + Evelyn (Evelyn wants to befriend him so badly. The Sea Three are her people she’d love him around)
Sebastian + Ginevra (Idk idk I just see a good friendship between these two. She usually hates people but Sebastian might get through)
Sebastian + Jackie (I also see these two vibing a lot, she’s been different places and would be happy to tell him about it)
Sebastian + Polly (Tbh a lot of this idea just stemmed from Sebastian’s intro saying that his parents said he belongs in Neverland so, my Neverland girl would be happy to talk)
Sebastian + Stephen (Brothers that end up dating villain kids they got a type)
Sebastian + Wrenley (They both are very dreamy and want more things I think they’d get along well)
Wizarding World
Rosaline + Cadmus (Two pureblood raised people that don’t really believe in the prejudices but aren’t going against their parents right now that date Weasley’s? They have lots in common I love it and also perfect with the fcs)
Rosaline + Catherine (Mmmm more fc bias but their both Slytherin’s and though Catherine doesn’t follow any pureblood crap I think they could be so fun)
Rosaline + Elio (More two pureblood raised people but Elio doesn’t date Ron they’re just besties. I think they’d get along I love it)
Rosaline + Zara (Rosaline takes time to get over her issues but I see them being really cute and good together)
Cat + Kieran (Cat really doesn’t need two pretty boy menaces in her left and yet, don’t they? Kieran will hit on them and be so annoying but also so charming)
Cat + Matilda (Tilly would love Cat? So much? She’s annoyed by James, Cat’s annoyed by Sirius, they can bond over it together)
Tbh I really should get some Fantastic Beasts and Riddle Era ocs too

I think that 'Beautiful Boy' is a compulsory movie. Everyone, like every person out there should watch it. This is the only movie I know that hasn't romanticized or made drugs look cool in any way. They actually made It look scary.
Some moments I loved from the film:
1. I didn't pay any special mind to their "everything" during goodbyes. But then they showed the scene where nic was young and was going to board the plane to visit his mom after his parents' separation and David says "I love you more than everything" and nic says "Everything?". So that's where it's from. How special is that. 🥹
Tumblr media
2. I really love that scene. David's speech is just beautiful. I'm gonna mention the whole speech just for the sake of it. And the hug.
Tumblr media
3. Jasper and Daisy. They're adorable. Remember the scene when thay all went to beach and Karen said no to Jasper surfing. So Jasper and nic just chilled and talked when nic asked him how did it feel when he came back and Jasper said "it was weird at first, I thought you might be different. But you're just the same old nic". The relief I got from hearing that.
Tumblr media
4. The Beautiful Boy song by John Lennon. I've always heard it in reels and yt shorts but when I came across it in the movie I payed attention to it and that song made me cry.
5. Charles Bukowski's poem.
I really love how this movie portrayed everything. The hope, frustration, anxiety, fear, anger, change. What I really like about is that they showed at the end that David had given up and it was time to move on and how he removed nic's pictures from his office. This is really important for everyone to know. It is as hard for the people around the person who is an addict as it is for the addict. Whether it's family or friends, they are also going through a lot. Please don't do drugs, it's really scary. This movie has saved me.
I haven't read the book. I've just ordered it online. I'll read it as soon as I receive it.

Warmer Where You Are (Jacob x Bella) Part 1
It’s the eve of Bella’ & Edward’s wedding. She’s uneasy and she isn’t sure why. Is it just cold feet? The impending change into an immortal creature? Something else? Or..someone else?
3.k words
Inspired by two really great Fan Fics that I will link here.
Your Heart Remained The Same
Beautifully happy & painlessly romantic
*******************
Edward had just left with Emmet and Jasper to enjoy their non-traditional bachelor party. I looked around my room feeling mixed emotions that this would be my last night here. I had spent the day cleaning and packing up my old life into cardboard boxes. Was I really ready for this? I felt like I had finally found my stride for the first time in my life here in Forks. Was I ready for it to be gone so soon? I knew even if I stayed human things would change. I’d go off to college and start a new chapter regardless but why did the sudden thought of immortality make me so sad?
For months this was all I had wanted, all that I dreamed about and now the deadline was fast approaching and I didn’t want to admit it but I was getting scared. It all seemed so final because it was. There wasn’t anything more final than death. I loved Edward there wasn’t a doubt about that but did I truly love him more than everything else? My life, Charlie, my Mom, my friends, Jacob…I felt guilt turn in my stomach even thinking about it. It was probably just cold feet. That was normal right? The truth was none of this was normal. I hadn’t wanted normal. I wanted Edward and the extraordinary everlasting life only he could give me.
I sighed thinking about tomorrow and comparing it to what my ideal wedding day would have looked like. It certainly wouldn’t have had the same extravagant vision Alice was concocting though I knew tomorrow would be elegant and beautiful. I had envisioned a backyard wedding here at Charlies or maybe barefoot on the beach. Small. Simple. Intimate. I certainly didn’t picture myself being only 18… Maybe 22 or 23, finishing up college, buying our own first home, making a life for ourselves…but that wasn’t my future, not anymore at least.
Laying in bed I stared at the ceiling willing sleep to come but it wouldn’t. I had a pit growing larger by the minute in my stomach. This is all you’ve ever wanted. I repeated to myself over and over but the pit remained and my thoughts continued to be all over the place. I rolled over to my stomach hoping a new position would provide some comfort and would do the trick but alas, nothing.
Propping myself up on my elbows my eyes drifted up to the delicate dream catcher hanging on my headboard. I ran my fingers over the intricate details admiring the craftsmanship. Jacob. My heart ached when I thought of him giving this to me for my birthday, it felt like a different lifetime ago. So much had changed since then. I hadn’t even seen him in so long…I missed him more than I should and it was selfish. I had made my choice and that choice broke his heart.
How I wished for us to remain friends, to hang out, eat pizza, walk on First Beach like we used to. I missed La Push, I missed all of them. Deep down I knew that we couldn’t remain friends after what I had done. He deserved so much more than what I could have given him, more than what I did give him. At least that’s what I told myself. All I wanted was for him to find happiness and a love worthy of him. So why did it still hurt so much?
With thoughts of days spent in Jacob’s garage and hanging out in La Push I drifted off to a peaceful sleep. My memories blended into a dream that centered around Jacob. It started out we were walking along first beach like we had so many times, the waves crashing along the dark sand and the cool breeze was making me shiver. He stopped walking and wrapped his arms around me as we watched the ever rare sun go down. His arms were the most comforting feeling in the world, my safe harbor, my port in the storm, my Jacob.
The dream shifted into another familiar setting, here at Charlie’s. Walking through the front door a delicious aroma wafted over to me. I headed toward the kitchen to find Jacob preparing a meal shock and surprise went through me. I didn’t know he could cook, I usually did all the cooking…He greeted me with a huge smile saying he wanted to do something extra special for me for finishing my last semester of college and Emily may have taught him a thing or two. We hugged and he kissed me with heat, passion and love. I sighed happily letting his warmth consume me.
Another shift forward to Jacob and I looking out over the cliffs in La Push, the weather was beautiful and it felt like summer. We stood hand and hand admiring the view perfectly happy. Jacob suddenly dropped to one knee still holding my hand and asked me to be his wife. My heart felt like it would burst at the seems and I jumped into his arms kissing him and saying yes. The ring was beautiful, simple, and elegant. It had a white gold band with a solitaire round diamond, engraved on the inside was “I’ll always be your safe harbor”, it was perfect.
The cliff side faded away into the backyard of Billy’s house. String lights were strung off the garage to posts in the yard with long farmhouse style tables underneath. They were decorated with jars full of fresh flowers. There was small aisle that was set up with chairs and at the end was an alter made of driftwood decorated with greenery and wildflowers. It was more beautiful than I could have imagined and everything just felt right. No nerves only excitement and so much love as I approached the aisle to Jacob.
He was wearing black dress pants and a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and no tie of course, he was so handsome and it was exactly him. My dress was chiffon with a lace bodice and dainty lace details around the wrists of the long chiffon sleeves. It was ethereal, light, simply but beautiful. Emily had curled my hair and given me two waterfall braids on either side that met in the back. She pinned them back decorating them with babies breath and a few extra wildflowers. I felt like a Goddess and the way Jacob looked at me as I made the way down the aisle I had never felt more beautiful. Charlie handed me off to Jacob happy tears in his eyes. All our loved ones were there and equally as excited for this day. I wasn’t leaving my family to join another one, two families were becoming one. The way it should be.
After the dinner, the toasts, and the cake Jacob stole me away and we snuck off to the beach running like little kids laughing the whole way. We Slowly danced barefoot in the moonlight humming our wedding song the with faint echos of our reception in the background. It was exactly what I always imagined and I wanted us to live in this moment as long as possible.
The dream shifted one last time to a place that wasn’t familiar. I was standing in a small room with two large windows, the sun came in giving the whole room a soft glow. There was a wooden rocking chair in one corner and crib on the wall opposite the windows. It was a nursery. Soft yellow colored the walls, baby books were placed neatly on the shelves, and cozy blankets sat in a basket on the floor. Above the crib a single picture hung, it was a sonogram photo. Instantly my hands went to my stomach I was pregnant, very pregnant. I felt Jacob come behind me resting his hands on my belly. “The nursery is perfect Bells.” He said kissing the top of my head. I leaned into him feeling utter bliss. I turned to face him and there were tears in his eyes, I gently brought my hand up to his face and he placed his hand on mine. “Thank you for everything Bella, this life with you is all I ever wanted.” We kissed and I felt little flutters inside me, it took me a minute to realize that it was our baby kicking and I don’t think I’ve ever felt happier.
Quickly everything faded away, dark replacing the light, cold replacing the warmth. It was all gone and I was all alone. My eyes opened and I realized I was in bed in my room and all of it was just a dream. Dim moonlight from outside poured into the window and I glanced at the clock, it was just after two in the morning. As I came fully back to consciousness I recalled my dream. The life I could have had, with Jacob. It all felt so real my hand fluttered to my stomach the absence of the bump brought tears to my eyes. Why are you upset? This is what you chose…you knew what you were giving up…
I grabbed my phone and scrolled through my contacts I hovered over Edwards name then continued scrolling until I got to his. Jacob. I hit the green button before I even realized it. What was I doing? What would I say if he even answered? I was being selfish and irrational. What did I hope to accomplish? I simply didn’t know. I felt like I wasn’t sure of anything anymore I just needed to see him. I needed to make sense of it all. The continuous ring was daunting, he had no obligation to answer my phone call. He didn’t owe me a single thing but I owed him the world.
The ringing stopped but no one said hello. I almost hung up but then I heard his voice. “Bella—what do you want?” His tone was cold and his voice was low and dark. I stayed silent not knowing what to even say. What did I want?
“Can I see you?” it was almost a whisper.
“It’s late.”
“I know.”
He let out an exasperated sigh. “And what would be the point of that? You’re getting married today Bella.” He was right. What was I doing? I had already made my choice. I chose Edward and left him heartbroken.
“I—.” I didn't know what I was doing. All I could do was beg. “Please Jake…I just need to see you.”
Silence rang on the other end, it was deafening.
“See you at our spot.” he finally said and I felt all the air escape my lungs.
“See you there.” We both hung up.
I didn’t think I just got up and went. Alice may or may not see me leave but I prayed she didn’t intervene. Not matter what I needed to at least properly say goodbye to Jacob.
I tiptoed down the stairs as to not wake Charlie, threw on my shoes and was gone. The roads were empty and the night was black. I wasn’t too far down the road when my cellphone started ringing. Alice’s name illuminated on the screen. Of course. I debated on what to do. I could not answer it but that would most likely result in Edward showing up and that would make everything worse.
“Hello.” I said
“Bella…what are you doing? I saw you getting in your car and then…” She trailed off
“I need to say goodbye to him, it’s been eating me up inside all night Alice…I—it’s just something I need to do.” I stammered feeling overwhelmed with emotions.
“It is really just saying goodbye?” She asked her voice quiet.
“What did you see Alice?”
“Be safe Bella, know that we all love you and always will, especially my brother.” Before I could respond the line clicked and I was left confused and feeling worse than I already did. What had she seen?
I pulled up to First Beach and got out of the car my heart was pounding in my ears and nerves ate at my stomach. I walked forward onto the dark beach with the moon occasionally peaking out from behind the clouds. The breeze from the water was cool despite it being August, I shivered wishing I was wearing pants instead of the cotton pajama shorts I had on and matching oversized t-shirt.
I could make out Jacob’s figure as I neared our spot, he was sitting on the large piece of driftwood staring out across the water into the night. He didn’t look at me as I sat down in silence and even with the distance between us I could feel the heat radiating off of him. I shivered longing to feel his warmth.
“Are you going to tell me why you’re really here?” He said continuing to stare toward the ocean. Why was I here?
“I don’t know…I just needed to see you…to apologize…to say goodbye…all of it.” I could feel the crack in my voice as I spoke. Tears filled my eyes and I quickly tried to blink them away.
Jacob looked at me his face was hard but his eyes softened as he noticed me wiping my eyes. “Why are you crying Bella?” I could see pain in his dark eyes as he asked. I just wanted to touch him to feel his warmth consume me even if it was for the last time.
“I’m so sorry Jake. You—you deserve the world. I know I can’t undo what I did, I know we can't be friends anymore and I know soon you'll hate me even more than you do now. I’m just so sorry…” I felt hot tears running down my face. Anger and pain swirled inside me. Why was I crying? I’m the one who hurt him! I angrily wiped my face, Jacob caught my hand to hold me still his warmth spread like wildfire up my arm.
“I don’t hate you.” He spoke softly with guarded eyes. “You made your choice clear. I have to respect that.”
“What if I’m choosing wrong?” The words came out before I even realized it. I hadn't meant for them to. I can't believe I just said that. Guilt flooded me and hope flashed in Jacobs eyes before he dropped my hand and looked away from me back towards the water. I already missed the warmth.
“Don’t do that.” His voice was hard again and I could hear his words laced with anger. “It’s been months Bella. Months of silence, months of wishing you would change your mind, months of heartbreak and pain and trying to get my life back together…I can’t do this again Bella. I just can’t.” He stood up and started walking away further down the beach and without hesitation I ran to him.
“Jake—please.” He turned around and I crashed into him throwing my arms around him clinging to him for dear life. Instantly the turbulence that were raging within me subsided, my safe harbor, my port in the storm, my Jacob. I felt like I could breath again. He held on to me hesitantly his body rigid with fear.
I soaked in every sense possible; his smell, the way he felt, the way he looked, the sound of his heartbeat, but greed overcame me and I wanted more. I snaked my hands up further behind his neck and pulled his mouth to mine. His body slowly softened and we melted into each other as our mouths desperately invaded one another. I was lost in all of him as I felt the fire spreading throughout my entire body.
My hands were now at the hem of his shirt beginning to lift it up, brushing against his hot skin. What was I doing? I was engaged to another man! Suddenly he froze and grabbed my wrists stopping me and broke away his mouth from mine. “God Damnit Bella.” He growled releasing me and stepping back putting distance between us. Instantly I felt cold surround me.
“You can’t just come here and kiss me hours before you’re supposed to get married to another man.” His words stung but he was right. I was the most selfish person in the world right now and I was hurting Jacob yet again as well as Edward now. What the hell was wrong with me?
“I’m—sorry. I didn’t mean to—.” I stammered.
“You need to go home.” His firm words told me to go but his eyes were pleading with me, pleading for me to tell him what he wanted to hear. I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out and silence hung in the air. I was about to lose him, really lose him forever. Say something! Anything! I screamed internally but no words came from my mouth.
“Goodbye Bella.” He broke his tortured eyes away from mine turning and leaving me all alone.
“I love you Jacob.”I said but he was already gone.
Somehow I managed to get back to my truck and drive home despite the constant tears that fell from my eyes. I cried more than I had in my entire life. If I was doing the right thing, if I was really meant to be with Edward why did this hurt so damn much?
I knew there was no possible way I could sleep right now even though I was beyond exhausted. Instead I made my way to the bathroom to shower. I turned the water to the hottest temperature and just sat there, my arms wrapped around my legs letting the scolding water run over me. Somehow I was still cold, it wasn't the warmth I was longing for. I didn't know how long I’d been in there but I stayed that way until the water ran cold. Cold like my future.
Wrapped in a towel I made my way to my room and crawled onto my bed pulling the blankets over myself. I had made my choice and in turn Jacob had made his and now I was faced to live with those choices. With no more tears left inside of me I fell into deep sleep praying for dreams of warmth.
Part two is now finished! Thanks so much for the reads!

I would like more of the "vampire Bella creates the Cullens as a warped forever family" au please.
The captain of the football team, Emmett McCarty, went missing. The big brother she never had. While he’s a little miffed to be forced to leave his life behind, he has to admit there are some cool perks to being a vampire, and this poor Bella girl seems awfully lonely and like she needs protection. Plus, she said she saved him from a bear attack. He doesn’t remember that--must have gotten drunk at a party and wandered into the woods or something. Why would Bella lie? 
The whole town was devastated when the handsome young Dr. Cullen and his wife were killed in a mysterious car accident. The flaming wreckage was found in the middle of an isolated road, and while there wasn’t much to go on, it seemed it hit something very hard, although there was no trace of what that thing was. Bella said they must have hit a moose, and she ‘saved’ them. Dr. Cullen doesn’t think moose live in this part of Washington, and while he can’t clearly remember what happened, he thought it was a human-like figure he had seen in the road. His wife, Esme, immediately opens her heart to Bella and her ‘brother’, Emmett. These poor lost children needed a mother. Dr. Cullen is horrified by the concept of vampires, and absolutely refuses to hunt humans. Bella seems into this idea and happily lets him become the apparent leader of their group, “just like a father should,” she had said approvingly. 
Bella had run into Alice once at a bookstore, and Alice had been nice to her, friendly. Complimented her outfit. Bella was planning to add her to the family as her sister, but before she could arrange it, Alice showed up in the woods on her own. Bella asked what she was doing there and Alice shrugged. “I’m not sure, but I just know I’m supposed to be here and I’m supposed to leave with you. I hate my new step-mom anyway and I think my dad wants to lock me up, so let’s do it.” 
Once they had Alice, she and Bella began working together to complete the family. “Look at Esme and Carlisle. We should all have what they have. I’m going to find them for us!” As a vampire, Alice could see the future and used it for matchmaking. They would have to travel to collect the rest of the family: Rosalie, for Emmett, in Rochester, NY. Jasper, in Houston, TX, for Alice.  And Edward Masen, in Chicago, IL, for Bella herself.

if anyone wants to recommend musicals to me I would fucking adore that. Until then, here are some suggestions:
Love in Hate Nation-- LET’S GO LESBIANS! 1960s sapphic love story taking place in a girls’ reformatory. Also, trans girl played by trans actress!!! Some of the amazing songs are “I Hope” and “Oh Well”. Susannah Son wants to be a singer, her performative activist boyfriend is gross and also wants her to marry him so he’ll have better options politically. Sheila Nail is so fucking cool and I love everyone in this. My brain cuts out about this I’m so sorry babes. There is not a cast recording but there IS an original cast bootleg on youtube.
Holy Musical B@man!-- If you liked the goofiness of 1960s Batman and Robin, but think “man, these guys should’ve been able to swear! And also should have had a candy themed villain!” this is the musical for you. Also if you’ve heard of the very queer Harry Potter musical that JK herself tried to sue over, it’s made by the same group <3. As usual with Team Starkid, whole thing is up for free on youtube by the creators.
Firebringer-- Speaking of the same group... Cave people sapphics who I think are bi or pan. I love them and they’re all so dumb. Also, if you’ve seen the “I don’t really wanna do the work today” vine, that comes from this. I do not remember any of the second half other than one of them taking the ring the other is proposing with... to propose. And the “*blows kiss*” “fuck no, Zazz” “duly noted”. Kind of like a shitpost musical. Once again, free by creators. Actually, check out any of their musicals.
The Prom-- In Indiana, Emma just wants to take her girlfriend to the prom, and in response, the PTA cancels it. With some help from some broadway actors looking for good publicity, they manage to pull it off. So, to summarize, teen lesbian gets gay uncle who knows what she’s going through!! This musical makes me cry every goddamn time. There is a movie now, and I’m very happy about that because *high profile gay rep on netflix*, but I personally did not like the direction they took with it. They put a weird amount of emphasis on biological rather than found family in the movie, and were a little too forgiving when it came to trauma from family for being gay. Also, they took away Emma being butch. This was sadly (loosely) based on a recent true story from I think 2012. Also, was the first gay kiss in the Macy’s parade. You know those movie musicals the straight girls in theater like? The music is similar, but gayer, and for some reason that makes me so fuckng happy. I think it’s because non-queer people have had musicals for so long, and those normally have a 60s vibe, and the music in this does too and it feels more classic?? Sapphic promposal song (het at the beginning). “Unruly Heart” and the end of Act 1 will break you. Please ignore the bad wigs.
Spies Are Forever-- GAY SPIES GAY SPIES GAY SPIES!! Curt Mega (played by... Curt Mega) lost his partner Owen during a mission. Now, he’s just trying to get back into spying like Owen would want. I fucking weep every time. Also, a song about comphet (at 6:36)!! And here is a video essay on how it relates to the Lavender Scare. I want you all to know that everyone also headcanons the femme fatale spy in it as either a lesbian or aroace, which uh, makes sense. Also high quality videos put up by creators. They had Jewish people making fun of Nazis while writing this, but “Not so Bad” is... kinda bad. “Torture Tango” has so much goddamn sexual tension and becomes devastating.
Hadestown--  If you know the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, it’s like that, except capitalism part 1. Orpheus is a poor musician, Eurydice dies, just like the myth. Except, the Great Depression post-apocalyptic setting that works better than it probably should. There are actually 3 soundtracks: the concept album, off-Broadway, and Broadway. I personally don’t like the concept album purely based on vibe. Off-Broadway has an absolutely gorgeous sounding Orpheus, and if you’ve heard of the disaster that was Spiderman: Turn Out the Dark, then you’ve heard of surprisingly amazing Broadway Orpheus Reeve Carney. The Fates are gorgeous and I’ve decided they’re queer. Tony’s performance link here. Explores relationships, with Hades and Persephone’s aging relationship mirrored by Orpheus and Eurydice’s relatively new one. Anyway, unionize.
Jasper in Deadland-- If you know the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, it’s like that, except capitalism part 2. Jasper is a teen who’s best friend Agnes is pretty much the one good thing left in his life. His mom left, he got kicked off the swim team (he’s manic pixie dream boy in this, especially for swimming), and Agnes dies at the beginning trying to show Jasper that she’s brave and he should be too. So, he bravely ventures into Deadland to find her, meeting Gretchen the tour guide along the way. He also finds out that since he’s still living, he can bring memories back to the dead. Songs like “Stroke by Stroke” (he’s uh, definitely a teen, guys) and “Living Dead” (I shared a prinxiety animatic of that on here a while ago).They blend Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Christian, and whatever Dante’s Inferno counts as together to create Deadland. Story’s kinda hard to follow from the soundtrack, so if u wanna learn how it all ties together message me.
Death Note Musical-- Okay babes, here’s where it gets tough. It was written originally in English, and there is a spectacular English concept album, but the only productions have been in South Korea, Japan, and I think Taiwan. Listen to it anyways, find a bootleg of it with english subtitles. It has so much gay tension and also a truly ethereal character who seems to be a lesbian who is also either demisexual or demiromantic. If any of y’all saw the anime like me, it kind of cuts out the arc after episode 26. I personally thought it was actually a better story for it.
Alice by Heart-- Okay, this one makes me fucking cry every goddamn time. In WW2, these poor goddamn kids are all alone in the Tube System (is that what y’all call it? genuinely asking here) with none of their parents but still some grownups. Alice’s best friend Alfred is dying of tuberculosis, and to try to have one last thing together they start reading Alice in Wonderland, only for Nurse Hart to rip it apart to try to separate healthy Alice from dying-from-TB Alfred. It doesn’t work, and Alice proclaims she “knows it all by heart”, She tries to linger in the story with Alfred to have more time with him, he keeps trying to move it along because he’s dying and wants to finish it one last time. Themes are growing up and grief I guess.
Last I checked, there is a bootleg for all of these on youtube. Have fun!

unplanned unexpected unwarranted vampire charlie au
au where bella decides she cant leave her dad behind like her mom did and convinces edward and carlisle to protect him too. carlisle ushers him out of the house and explains things to him, providing proof as needed - as much as he can. they go to arizona to hide out, charlie stumbling over his words to convince renee that he and bella were threatened and are in enough danger to need to hide out in a different state.
bella still gets the phone call, and renee doesn't answer when either of them call. when the others are distracted, she still gets away to meet james, but when the cullens go to save her, charlie's waiting outside with esme and rosalie (who are guarding him on the road instead). victoria is there too - and she gives them more trouble than they anticipated. emmett and jasper are distracted by the redhead and the noises from inside the studio getting louder and more concerning by the second.
when a scream rings out — he's never heard bella sound like this, not even when she was a mousy little girl buried under his seahawks baseball cap far too big for her head — charlie can't help but wrench open the door and run inside. his baby is cowering away from a bloodthirsty monster and there's not even a pause in his step as he sprints over to shield her form with his own, squeezing her against his chest and praying for the first time since he heard she wanted to come up to forks for the rest of school
his prayer's interrupted by a loud shattering sound and a malicious laugh. "aw, look at that! daddy's trying to save you. what a noble, pointless sacrifice!" a smack like stone hitting stone. "well far be it from me to deny a man his dying wish."
he doesn't hear what he says next - he doesn't hear anything, or see anything, because everything is white and sharp and pain, burning like a star, blooming in the crevice where his shoulder meets his collarbone. nothing exists right then but the cold fire in his skin, burrowing in his bone. it feels like hours before anything changes. the first thing to slip through is wet on his cheek and cool hands scrabbling to clutch at his.
"dad! dad!" bella? "edward! carlisle! anybody, any of you, please, I need help! my dad — needs help!" a hand on his cheek, trembling and frantic. "dad just hang in there! somebody help us!"
his fingers twitch, stretching towards her. "bella —you okay — bells — "
"im okay! im okay, im so sorry, dad, im so sorry! im sorry, it shouldnt have been you — this is all my fault — edward! edward please, you have to help him!"
hers is still the only voice he can discern but there are more emerging, blending together but getting closer. he catches snatches of words like 'bit', and 'spread', and 'minutes', and 'sorry', and 'safety'. a pale shape stands at the edge of his vision, and at once he's lifted from the floor. he convulses, eliciting another audible choke from his sweet daughter, and he recognizes a familiar, soothing voice from above.
"we can't stay here..."
"what? what do you mean?"
"we'll bring him back with us..."
"what are you going to do?"
"let him take him, bella, please"
"we'll watch over him, i promise."
"Im not leaving him, i can't just let him go!"
"i promise," softer. "jasper — will he sleep?"
the world softens and fully crumbles away. there's nothing left. nothing but fire.
time doesn't exist here, but then the fire, it doesn't go out. yet it stops hurting. it stops eating. it starts feeding. a single thought pops into his head that will make no sense to him when he recalls it later — a weary 'oh. i see.'
three days after the ballet studio, he wakes up to a brown popcorn ceiling. he blinks. he can see every crack and cranny in the plaster.
"mr. swan?" a tinkling voice says, and he sits up. "good, I thought you'd be up." the little black haired cullen girl beams up at him, chipper but sorry. her hand is curled around his wrist. "bella will be back any moment, and carlisle soon after. they're just across the hall, actually. he says we'll need to look after you for a while, just in case, —"
she pauses, just soon enough to avoid being interrupted by the sound of beeping and pressing keys and the door swinging open. bella is whole and wonderful — he can see every inch of her and she's really actually fine, not even a scratch — and she freezes seeing him but then she's flinging herself forward, pale face contorting
"dad—!"
"b-bells," he stands up, quickly, too quickly, to meet her, tugging alice along with him, but edward catches his girlfriend's hand and holds her back as he voices her objections to her entering at all. charlie scowls at first, when a scent reaches his nose — a smell that might've made his stomach growl if it could. his eyes cast up in open question.
edward is stiff, eyes looking conflicted but legs poised to pounce. "it's her."
"oh." charlie shifts uncomfortably on his feet, properly spooked, willing the despairing thirst away. as moments pass since making the connection, the scent of blood — of food — fades, to the point he can hardly detect it at all. it's a sharp relief.
"you — how do you feel," bella forces out, eyes locked with his with an uncomfortable intensity that makes him squirm and anxiously rake a hand through his hair. carlisle and the others filter in behind her and he's grateful for something else to look at, now he knows she's safe.
"better," he settles on. "than before, I mean. was that — did —" he waits for someone to interrupt him and fill him in, but it's quiet. "are you okay?"
a bark of laughter bursts from her chest and she assures him she's fine, eyes wide and brows furrowed like she can't believe he's a real person, the way she gets sometimes when he says something so awkward and sincere it makes her want to groan. but she doesn't want to groan anymore. instead she's torn between crying and singing.
"what do you remember?" carlisle asks, gently stepping forward, his gaze a mix of clinical fascination, wary confusion, and personal concern. charlie would flush beneath it... but the heat never comes to his cheeks.
"exactly how much are you looking for," he grumbles. "last thing i recall..." no need to go into the pain. "finding bella with that... guy at the studio."
"just finding her?"
"trying to protect her," he amends, focused on avoiding everyone's gaze. "and... it was..." then he notices how much there is to see, even when hes trying not to look at anything. he frowns. absorbing this much — it feels like a headache, minus the pain itself. overload. "it was him wasnt it. he bit me"
esme and jasper nod, but carlisle and bella just look away, the brunette visibly cringing. edward's jaw tightens, and for some inexplicable reason, the sight of that is what makes it all click for him.
"so," he fumbles for a second, but the word comes out so clean and sure when he says it, not at all like he feels. his mouth is physically incapable of tripping over itself like hes used to, no stammer, no stumbling. he grimaces and all the muscles pull exactly like he intends them too. he shakes his head. "he bit me. and? can i assume that's what's got me feeling so weird? the... some sort of effect of the bite?"
bella doesnt answer. neither does carlisle. surprisingly, it's that blonde girl that replies, though not to him.
"show him," she says, and after a moment, esme creeps forward, gesturing for his hand. he hesitates, but takes it. edward shifts to place bella behind him, as if she needs to be protected from him the way charlie protected her from james, a move that breaks his heart. gently, esme maneuvers him over to the bathroom. she turns on the lights, though she didn't really need to. he blinks. red. in the middle of a face with skin more suited to a shelf at a morgue than the tasteful backsplash of the bathroom, framed with dark, curling, concerningly long lashes, his irises were red. that wasn't it, either.
"am i..." he huffed. "am i seeing things, or am i way better looking than usual?"
a ripple of good humor disturbs the room, from esme's warm giggle, to a watery chuckle from bella, to a great, booming crow from emmett.
"way to focus on what's important, chief," alice nods, at the man's back in an instant. she doesn't sound nearly as sarcastic as those words should warrant. "finally, a man after my own heart."
"wait till you try running for the first time," emmett interjects, joining her behind him. "mind, blown."
some of the other family members sigh and shake their heads. charlie runs his eyes along his sharper jaw, still sprinkled with the stubble he'd acquired in the preceding chaos, now even and almost roguish where before hes pretty sure it made him look old and unkempt. he looks younger, he thinks, not young exactly, but good. better than his age.
he pulls away from his reflection, eyes flickering from face to face around him. he might even have said that he fit in with the mythically beautiful family. hes struck by how silly he was to dismiss the strangeness of the gorgeous, antisocial group out of hand, now that he sees how strange he's become himself, before his eyes fall to his daughter.
"im sorry dad" she mumbles, humor evaporating, and a pain resounds like a crack in his chest.
slowly, carefully, he moves forward, and the rest of the vampires stand on high alert as they realize what he's about to do. bella's eyes are bloodshot and he presses his lips together in a bittersweet line as he wraps her in his arms and tucks her close, just under his chin. a shudder runs down his spine as a phantom pain ghosts over his shoulder, but he brushes it aside and it evaporates like water. when he breathes in, she smells the way she always has, and he is not hungry.
"it's okay, kiddo. we'll get through this. im just glad you're okay."
and they do. charlie's vampiric powers are related to shielding, like his daughter, but his are more like putting things on mute, if that makes sense. small things, obviously, and usually physical. he's got a great deal more resistance to thirst than most newborns, for example, because it's muted by his powers, particularly for those he cares about. unfortunately this makes it likelier for him to, uh, die of thirst, as it's possible for him to forget to feed. and he can't block edward from hearing his thoughts completely, but they're muffled naturally by his powers (and always will be. hes not helping anyone into his head any time soon, especially not his daughter's boyfriend). he can also mute his own scent to the shapeshifters — which means he and billy, after things are all sorted, will still be able to hang out and be best friends!! he can also mute his own footsteps,
anyways this started as a meme post intending to go into how comedic it would be if charlie got changed and bella spent the rest of the series complaining that edward wanted to spend the rest of eternity with her father but not with her but then i got struck with some mad charlie feels and this happened so anyways vampire!charlie everyone @charlieswanismyrealdad @effervescent-emmett @cullen-trash @emmettmccartycullen @jaspell @leahclearwaterdefensesquad is this anything

Sanctuary with the Enthralling Moon: Jasper Hale x Fleur Swan, Chapter 3
Tumblr media
Authors notes: I’ve been listening to a lot more of Bank’s music (The girl in the picture) and I’ve become obsessed with her music again... Listen to her Album  “Goddess.” if you like R&B and some Trip hop it’s great! My personal favorites on there is “Before I Ever Met You” and “Bedroom Walls” but all the songs on there are great.
Another note: I changed the plot up for New Moon, so I hope it doesn’t ruin anything for you guys.
 All rights go to Stephenie Meyer for the characters she created.
“She lives in daydreams with me
She's the first one that I see 
And I don't know why
I don’t know who she is.”
She by, Harry Styles
The annoying buzz of my phone woke me up, it had been buzzing so long that it had fallen to the floor. When I picked it up, I answered not looking at the number.
“Ugh... it’s way to early in the morning for phone calls who is this?”
“How did you find me?” 
“Jasper? What are you talking about.”
“I saw you... you where across the street from me, looking at me. You were in a white night grown.”
“Jasper... I haven’t left Forks at all.”
“H-how did I see you then?”
“I’m not sure love, I promise though... I haven’t left.”
The line went silent, neither of us knew what to say.
“So... what are you doing at your new place?”
“Well, I started attending a local college, I’m studying philosophy. Carlisle got a job at night.”
“Oh.”
“What about you? What’re you doing?”
“Oh, I’ve decided to take a year off of school. I’ve been writing stuff, painting... it’s been nice. You should see this latest painting I made, it’s massive... I’ll send you a picture when it’s done.”
“It sounds grand...It nice to hear your voice again.”
“Yeah... it’s nice to hear your voice too. You know I was thinking... going to a creative arts school sounds really good to me right now...”
“You should do it, I’ve seen some of your work... it’s incredible.”
“Thanks love... Hey, I was meaning to ask you this in the morning but, have you heard from Edward?”
“No, he isn’t living with us.”
“Well, his bright idea of breaking up with Bella was to leave her in the woods... alone... AT NIGHT. For a vampire, Edward is the biggest dumb ass I have ever met in my entire life.”
“Wow... I don’t even know what to say... How is Bella?”
“She’s a manic depressive mess, she hasn’t left her room since she got back from the woods.”
“She hasn’t talked to you at all?”
“No, she just stares out of her window... but when she does look at me she gives me looks that aren’t exactly inviting either... She still pretty much hates my guts. I don’t know what she has to be pissed off at me about I’m the one who should be giving her death glares.”
“I don’t either...”
“I still don’t want her to be like this, she’s looking bad Jazz... it’s kinda scary.”
“Listen, I gotta go, you need some sleep... I’ll talk to you later one today... I better get my photo.” Jasper demanded playfully.
“I shall deliver my love, talk to you later.”
“Love you darlin.”
“Love you too.” I hung up a second later.
It was strange... Jasper had exactly described what had happened in my dream. I didn’t recognize the area, it looked remote though. It was confusing really, how my dreams to seem to have a power in some way. I didn’t know how though, I was a human.... nothing more than human. The Cullens seemed to be following the same pattern they did here. The area being small and remote and full of woods and cloudy. Before I faded off to sleep I thought of what I could do the next day... I could visit Leah, it had been so long since I’ve seen her. I’d have to thank Sam for getting Bella out of the woods too.
Morning had come, I felt exhausted but, I knew I couldn’t stay in the house. I had to get out, it was good for me. My painting would have to wait for it’s completion. I pulled out a tight, light grey turtle neck, black skirt, and stockings since it was probably freezing outside. I went downstairs, a huge smile was plastered on my face. For some reason, it was the happiest I had ever been these past 2 days.
“What’s got you so happy this morning?” Dad asked.
I looked around, making sure Bella wasn’t in the room.
“I got a call from Jasper... it was nice. He told me started going to college this year.”
“Oh, that’s nice. Did he say how the family is doing?”
“Oh yeah, they’re good but a bit tired. Carlisle got a job but it’s at night so his sleeping schedule is all messed up.”
“Oh yeah working nights, that’s rough.”
“Hey dad, does Harry Clearwater still live at the same address?”
“Yeah, why?”
“I was wanting to see his daughter Leah, I haven’t seen her since I was a kid.”
“That’s sounds like a great idea... have some balance between Jasper and your friends.”
“Yeah, it’ll be good for me.”
“Did you hear everything that happened last night?”
“No... what happened?”
“Bella was screaming at the top of her lungs in her sleep...”
“Oh my god... that’s horrible.”
“I’m thinking about sending her back to live with her mother... she’s scaring the hell out of me.”
“It sounds like a good idea in theory dad but... I don’t she’ll leave willingly.”
“I can try, she’s in a lot of pain right now... maybe seeing her mother will help her out.”
“Maybe...”
“You better get going, the drive is kinda long down to Harry’s.”
“Okay, I’ll talk to you later dad, love you.”
“Love you too.”
Driving down to Harry’s house had brought back memories, just like the drive down to La Push. Hopefully this time, it would go better than last time. As soon as I pulled up Harry had come out of the house, a huge smile was on his face.
“Well look who it is, Fleur Swan... I can recognize that car from anywhere.”
“Good to see you again Harry, thank you again for helping us find Bella.”
“No problem, I’d help with dad out with anything.”
“Dad? Who are you talking to out?”
“Leah, hey... it’s been a while.”
“Fleur? Is that you? The same girl I use to push in the freezing cold water when we were kids?” Leah said, her voice was filled with shock.
“Alive and in the flesh.”
Leah walked up to me, she smiled and pulled me in for a tight hug.
“It’s so good to see you again!”
“Nice to see you to, I was thinking to myself last night it was about time I make a visit down here.”
“I’m glad you did... really I am.”
“I’ll leave you two girls alone now.” Harry said, he got back inside the house.
“We have somethings to catch up on don’t we?” Leah said.
“Yeah we do.”
“Let’s go for a walk down on the beach.”
“Sure, as long as you don’t push me into the water.”
“No promises.”
We walked in silence to the beach, it was nice though. The cool wind and ocean waves was comforting.
“So... how’s everything going?” I asked.
“It’s been better...I started dating Sam in high school but... somethings happened.”
“What? Are you okay?”
“I’ll live but, Sam started dating Emily... and they’re engaged now actually.”
“What the hell... what is wrong with him.”
“I know it’s completely messed up... Speaking of Sam, before we broke up he told me you were dating someone, he told me he was a Cullen. Is that true.”
“It depends, are you going to react the same way Sam did?”
“What did he do?”
“He grabbed me by the arms and screamed in my face, I had bruises on my arms for a solid week.”
“No, I won’t do that, I promise. I do want to rip Sam’s head off even more now.”
“Yes, I am dating one of them, Jasper is his name.”
“I won’t tell you how to live your life regarding that, just... be careful.”
“I will... I was going to see Sam after this but, I don’t think I want to now.”
“Hey, don’t stop being friends with Sam just because of me. Just because I hate his guts doesn’t mean you have to as well.”
“What he did to you was messed up Leah... I would kill someone if they did that to me.”
“Just, come around more... that’ll make it up for you being friends with him.”
“I will, I promise, you should come over to my place sometime too, I’d love to have you there.”
“That sounds great Fleur, thanks.
“No problem.”
We had spent the entire day on the beach, it was beautiful. It was nice to catch up with Leah... she hadn’t changed much. She was just hurt, she felt bitter about Sam and Emily. If I was her, I would feel the same way. We made our way back to Leah’s house. Harry was sitting on the porch.
“It was good to see you again Fleur, you should come over more often.” Harry offered.
“I definitely will, you should come down to my place too, Dad’s been itching for a hunting trip.”
“Tell him I said hi, and I’m ready whenever he is.”
“I will, bye Harry, bye Leah... It was nice to be over!”
“See you later Fleur, thanks for coming by.”
“See you later.”
When I got back home, the sun had just started to set, The lights in the living room where on so I assumed dad was up.
“Hey dad I’m home!”
I didn’t get a reply, I walked in the living room and was shocked to see Bella sitting on one of the couches.
“Bella, hey...”
“Don’t even try to talk to me.”
“What, what?”
“I know this was your fault, Edward leaving.”
“Bella are you serious right now?”
“Yes I am, you never wanted to see me happy... you’re getting what you wanted now.”
“Bella... I didn’t tell the Cullens to leave, why would I do that? You do realize Edward leaving got Jasper to leave too right?”
“Oh please, you were out with him all day today don’t even lie.”
“I wasn’t Bella, I was with Leah.”
“Really? So you haven’t talked to him at all since he left.”
“No, I haven’t.” I lied.
“Whatever... just get out of my face.”
I turned and walked away... I was surprised I didn’t snap at her. My mood was exceptional today. I went out back to see if dad was there, he was. He was sitting out back on a lawn chair with a beer, staring out into the woods behind our house.
“Hey dad.”
“Hey Petal, Harry called, he said that you really helped Leah out today.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, he said she’s been pretty depressed lately and she’s been really angry too. He said that was the happiest she had been in a while.”
“That’s good... I saw Bella finally got out of her bedroom.”
“Yeah, she did. I didn’t except her to for a while, she went to school today too.”
“Oh wow, did you say anything about her going back with mom?”
“Yeah and you were right, she completely freaked out on me. She told me she was going out tonight though with her friend, Jessica.”
“Oh that’s good, she hasn’t left her room for like 4 days.”
“Has she talked to you at all?”
“No... not at all.” I lied, I didn’t want him to worry about Bella and I’s fighting for right now.
I sat out with Dad in the backyard until late tonight. When we went inside, Bella had just come back from her night out with Jessica. Bella looked like she had a crazed look in her eyes. It was kinda scary... her mood had switched so quick from earlier today. It looked like she sky dived or something.  When I went to bed, I had another dream... I was in a house this time, it was clean and stylish. When I walked into another room, Jasper was there he looked up hearing my footsteps and his eyes widened. Before I could say anything however, the dream faded to black.
POV Change: Jasper’s
I was by myself tonight, Alice, Dean, Rosalie, Esme, and Emmett had all gone out hunting for the night Carlisle was at work. I sitting in my room reading some books when I heard footsteps coming near me. I looked up, a familiar pair of dark browns eyes met mine. I was in shock, I’m seeing her again...  what is happening to me? Before I could ask her anything she disappeared in thin air.

HomeTown Part 2
Sebastian Stan x F!Reader
Summary: You and Sebastian go visit your family for Christmas and share a big announcement but Sebastian has an announcement of his own.
Warnings: Fluff?
Part 1
Tumblr media
You followed behind Sebastian in the airport as he dragged you to the end of the gate like you had done a little under a month ago. It was the day after new year's and you were back in your hometown. You spent Christmas day and new year's with his mom but still wanted to have a Christmas celebration with your family. "Babe!! Slow down!" You wined as he walked faster. You found this amusing. In the week you had stayed before he got close with your oldest niece and your oldest two nephews, converting both boys to team cap. Jon said he'd bring them when he came to pick you up because he found this just as sweet as you did.
"But. I want to see them!" He pouted causing you to laugh.
"I know but they ain't going no where." You said walking beside him. "See they are right there." You pointed at the three teenagers running over to you their dad/uncle standing filming the reunion.
"Auntie y/n! Seb!" They said giving Sebastian a gig before you.
"You stole my niece and nephews!" You pout at Sebastian who just laughed.
"Don't worry Auntie y/n your still our favorite." Samantha reassured. You smiled shaking you head.
"Hey! When will I get a dang hug!" Jon shouted from where he was standing a pout evident on his face. Your ran ahead of your boyfriend and the kids to give your brother a hug.
"Happy New Year Bro." You said laughing as you pulled out to go to luggage claim.
"Happy New Year Sis." He smiled at you wrapping an arm around you while his kids and nephew began to talk Sebastian's ear off about what happened since they last saw him. "So Colleen said your might have big news come on tell your favorite brother!" He said.
"Goddammit Colleen." You mumbled. "We don't have big news." You lied as you made it to the luggage claim. Sebastian pulled both bags off passing yours to you.
"Oh.." Jon said.
You guys made it to the car and began the drive to town. "Sebastian how's filming falcon and the winter soldier?" Jon asked keeping his eyes on the road.
"It's going good!" He said. You leaned on his shoulder.
"Any spoilers you can tell us?" Grayson asked looking back from the front seat where he sat.
"You have to wait till the show comes out." Sebastian said.
"Come on, please?" Samantha begged.
"No."
Samantha rolled her eyes leaning back in her seat pouting.
"Why do you want to know spoilers anyway?" Jon asked the three teens.
"So we can sell that information to the people at our school. We're already popular because our aunt is Y/n L/n but being able to tell them things about Falcon and the Winter soldier would bump up our street cred." Jaxon said proudly.
"Your using us for street cred?" You asked.
"Yeah!" Grayson told you sitting back in his seat properly
"They can't use me for street cred I'm not officially part of the family." Sebastian smirked at you.
"A photo of them bombarding you with questions went viral." Jon reminded him.
"Oh yeah." Sebastian said laughing a bit.
"Did you guys bring presents?" Samantha asked.
"Yes but you have to wait till tomorrow." You said giving her a pointed look.
"Please?" The three teens said giving you puppy dog eyes.
"Yeah come on why can we give them the presents today?" Sebastian asked. He knew why.
"You know why babe." You rolled your eyes. You had a big surprise for your family, and your nieces and nephews were gonna help you pull off telling the adults. But of course you got them normal presents as well.
"You guys hiding something?" Jon asked you raising an eyebrow at you through the rearview mirror.
"No." You laughed as Jon pulled into your parents drive way. You saw your nieces and nephews playing with different toys they had probably gotten for Christmas. "Let's see if they prefer you over me as well." You joked to Sebastian as you got out. Your nieces and nephews walk toward the pair of you besides Griffin and Oliver.
"Auntie y/n!" Griffin exclaimed hugging your leg, Oliver hugging the other while your slightly older nieces and nephews just walked over normally and gave you hugs.
"See im their favorite." You referred to your youngest nephews as you picked them both up setting them on opposite hips you stuck your tongue out at Sebastian smirking.
"Good job Dragoste."
"What does that mean?" Griffin asked him.
"It means love." Sebastian said.
"Dragoste! Cool!" Griffin giggled smiling at him.
"Why do say dragster and not love?" Oliver asked him as you guy went to the trunk of the car.
"Because if I just called your aunt love. It wouldn't be as special." Sebastian smiled at them before he pulled the suitcases out of the car because your hands were occupied.
"Cool! Dragoste I like it!" Oliver declared. You shook your head a loving smile on your face.
"Why don't you two of play?" You asked them setting them back down on the ground. They nodded running off to where Benji was playing with a remote control monster truck. "I can't believe we're gonna have one of those in nine months." You whispered placing a kiss to your boyfriends lips.
"Can't we tell them today?" Sebastian asked you. That's right you're pregnant! You guys already told his mom and step dad on Christmas. You had found out on Christmas Eve.
"No we can't." You said taking your bag from him and going to the porch where Colleen was excitedly standing on the porch waiting to know if you were pregnant.
"Are you having a baby?" She asked you smiling wide.
"No." You faked being sad to hope she'd not bring it up any more.
"Oh.. Sorry." She frowned hugging you.
"It's all good." You assured trying to hide the amusement on your face. Sebastian on the other hand didn't even try he just smiled.
"Don't worry it took me and Jon a little to get pregnant." She said pulling out of the hug.
"When you did get pregnant you had twins. I don't think we're ready for twins." You joked as the three of you began to walk inside.
"I think we could handle two." Sebastian spoke up. You rolled your eyes smiling.
"You could get your own Jax and Sam." Colleen said.
"Colleen... I used to baby sit them you do remember all the trouble they caused? Especially if you threw Grayson in the mix I don't think I'm ready for that." You said before you entered the living room deciding to pause the conversation since the rest of your family was waiting there.
"Hey mom!" You hugged her, "wassup dad." You said after you pulled out of the hug with your mom hugging him next. You mom brought Sebastian into a hug while you hugged your dad. After you hugged your parent you ran over and jumped on your three brother who you had yet to greet. "Hi!" You smiled at them sweetly before they pushed you on the floor.
"You okay dragoste?" Sebastian asked helping you up giving your brothers a playful glare.
"I've had worse. Now where the baby?" You asked Justin.
"You haven't even let us say hi yet and your already asking about Nora." Justin said rolling his eyes.
"Justin she's done this every year since she was eighteen why are you surprised.
"She's in the playpen in your room cause it was the quietest place to put her." Liz answered walking into the living room, Oliver on her hip eating fruit snacks.
"Okay!" You and Sebastian said the same time before you guys made your way up stairs hearing your family laugh.
"We're gonna have one of these soon." Sebastian said when the two of you made it to your room looking in the play pen where a peacefully looking baby slept.
"Yea..."
---
It was the next morning, you sat in the living room presents under the tree that your mom kept up just for this late Christmas celebration. You brothers and their families weren't here just yet so you and Sebastian were talking with your mom and dad.
"Jax and Sammy have been telling us all about your roll with marvel." Your dad told him smiling.
"Really?"
"They are big fans of your character Barney." Your mom said. You began cackling.
"Barney barnes." You teased him.
"I-its bucky... Barnes." Sebastian corrected politely.
"Where's the presents!" You hear Griffin exclaim dashing into the living room, Levi and Jasper close behind him. Grayson walking in grumbling about how it was to early.
"They're under the tree. Find the ones with your names it your each have two." You directed them, the younger three boys of the four all dashed to the tree looking at each of the presents even though Griffin couldn't read.
"Grayson help Griffin find his." Mike said before he came and sat down in between you and Sebastian pushing you two apart. "Hi, did you guys get me any presents?" He asked as his wife walked in smiling at her sons.
"Yeah go join them finding them." Sebastian said. Griffin moved to the coffee table with his two presents.
"Okay one of those is from me one of those is from Seb."
Griffin smiled wide ripping open the present Sebastian picked out for him. It was a kid's remote control car.
"Cool!" Griffin exclaimed. Levi was the next to settle down with his presents he opened the one you picked out, finding a new football since Levi played Football. (american)
"Cool! Thanks!"
Griffin ripped open the one you picked out, revealing a Tigger stuffed animal. Jasper and Grayson sat down next to their younger brothers before griffin ran over to his mom begging her to open the car. Jasper opened his first present getting a nerf gun from Sebastian.
"Awesome! Thank you Seb!" Jasper said a big smile on his face.
"Told you he'd love it." Sebastian said to you.
"I said his parents wouldn't not that he wouldn't." You rolled your eyes at him.
Grayson opened his first present the one from Sebastian to see a empty box. "Uh... Thank you?" Grayson said looking at him confused.
"Did you really wrap a empty box! I thought you were joking!" You said reaching over Mike to smack Sebastian.
"Sorry!" Sebastian laughed. "Don't worry your actual present should be near the back of the tree." He told your nephew who was frowning.
Levi wrapped the present from Sebastian open it also revealed a nerf gun. "Dude! Cool! Come on Jasp! Nerf gun battle!"
"Wait I have one more." Jasper said unwrapping the present from you, it was the next book in the series he was reading. "Thank you!" He said before running off with Levi their nerf guns in tow toward the Mitch to probably get scissors to open it with.
Mike got up from his seat to "help Grayson find his present" he actually went to find his own presents. Grayson went back to where his other present was sat with his actual present from Sebastian. He opened it again revealing a nerf gun. Sebastian was setting up a nerf war for all your older nieces and nephews which is why Griffin didn't get one.
"Oh cool! Thank you!" Grayson said before opening the one from you, which was a x-men comic book he wanted. "This was the one I wanted! Thanks Auntie Y/n!" He said getting up to hug you. You smiled hugging him as mike sat back down next to you his two presents in his hands. These were both from you because Sebastian didn't know what to get your brothers.
Grayson found himself a seat next to your mom and dad opening his comic. You watched as your brother opened his present to get a gag gift, it was a tradition you and your siblings each had to give each other the most random or useless thing you could find at the dollar store since this started when you were 6 and only had a dollar.
"Wings? Really?" You nodded before Kristina passed you a box.
"Ooh my gag gift!" You said ripping it opened to reveal a good job cone. "Oh thanks." You laughed. Sebastian looked at it confused.
"What's the point of these gifts?" Sebastian asked.
"There is none it's a tradition, Y/n started when she was five. There's only two rules no one can help you pick the present out and it has to come from Dollar tree." Kristina explained.
"To avoid inappropriate gifts being opened while the kids are around." Mike added.
"Okay if I had known what was in that box I wouldn't have opened it!" You said.
"Matt put don't open around the kids! GAG gift!!" Mike said.
"Yeah in tiny ass letters!" You said. Sebastian looked at you guys confused.
"Whatever." Mike said opening the next gift. "Thank you." He said giving you a really look holding up the T-Shirt that said "I have a badass baby sister yes she got me this shirt."
"You're most welcome!" You said smiling at him. Kristina rolled her eyes at you two going to grab her own presents you got her.
----
Soon the rest of your brothers and their families were there, the older kids were having a nerf gun battle outside with Sebastian since he obviously bought himself a nerf gun too. The younger kids were inside playing with the other toys they had got. Your brothers were wearing the matching fairy wings you got them as their gag gift. While their wives and you were talking. You had Nora on your lap.
Sebastian walked in a nerf bullet stuck to the center of his forehead. "Babe you have something on your forehead." You said laughing.
"They teamed up on me." He grumbled pulling it off before taking a seat next to you and stealing Nora from your lap. "Can we do it now?" He whispered to you.
"Yeah go wrangle the big kids." You said taking Nora. "If you excuse us we have a surprise that the kids are going to help us pull off.. So get your butts outside to wait for us." You said to the adults in the room. They rolled their eyes walking out with Sebastian.
"Okay kiddies! Come on!" You said the little kids looked at you. "I'll give you guys lollipops." The kids jumped up running up the stairs. "Slow down! Your parents will kill me if you fall down the stairs." You said.
Once up stairs you got upstairs you got Griffin, Oliver, and Nora in their shirts while Leo got into his on his own. Sebastian and the older kids barreled into the bedroom after.
"What are we doing?" Samantha asked.
"You guys are going to have a new cousin! And if you get these shirts on you'll help us tell your parents and Granny and pap." Sebastian explained.
"Cool!!" Hazel squealed. Your nieces and nephews celebrated a bit and gave you hugs before you sent them each to a different room upstairs to change while Sebastian watched the ones already you got into your shirt that said right over the belly where your baby was: GrandBaby #14. Your nieces and nephews had shirts that say Grandbaby #1-13. You made it t your room and everyone was ready.
"Okay line up in number order. Griff stand right next to Sebastian when we get out side. Oliver stand next to Griff and so forth." You explained. Sebastian would be holding Nora and standing next to you.
You all made it outside and still in line.
"What?" Your dad asked.
"Read the shirts!" Violet exclaimed.
"Grandbaby... 14?!" Colleen looked at your shirt squealing.
"No way!" Elizabeth said.
"What? 14 kids? There's only 13.." Justin said not getting it.
"Your pregnant?" Your mom asked you.
"Yep!" You and Sebastian said at the same time.
"You told my kids before you told me? I thought I was your favorite?" Justin said mocking offense.
"Your a blabbermouth if we told you everyone would've known." You said as your mom come over hugging you then hugging Sebastian as the kids ran off to play. Your family finished giving you both hugs. Sebastian handed Nora over to Mike before he reached in his pocket. You were looking away at Hazel and Violet.
"Y/n look." Kristina said. You looked at Sebastian gasping as you saw he was on one knee.
"Y/n.. Will you marry me?" He asked. You stared hands over your mouth in disbelief. "Your scaring me." He whispered.
"Yes! Yes! I'll marry you!" You exclaimed tackling him into a hug. Your mom and dad smiled softly at you two while your brothers, tried to be supportive but your their baby sister they won't see you anyway. Your nieces and nephews didn't even notice. You stayed on the ground hugging for what seemed like forever before you pulled apart and he put the ring on your finger. "I love it!" You kissed him before a chorus of "Ew!" Was heard alerting you and Sebastian of your nieces and nephews.
"We're getting married!" Sebastian said smiling, the kids gasped hugging the two of you. their parents laughing took a photo of it.
"Can I be the ring bearer?" Leo asked smiling.
"I want to be the flower girl!" Hazel said as they all pulled away from the hug to let you two stand up. All four of your sister inlaws quickly pulled into a hug squealing, Justin was quick to give Sebastian a hug and welcome him to the family slowly followed by Micheal and your dad, Matthew and Jon stood by your mom who was waiting to hug you. The two men stared at Sebastian with the same look they had when you started dating or when your prom date came to pick you up.
"Dad? Why are you staring at Sebastian like that?" Luna asked Matt.
"This again you two?" Your mom asked them as the hug from your sister in laws was pulled out of and the three men gave who had hugged Sebastian each gave you one followed by you mom while your other two brothers kept glaring at Sebastian.
"Did I do something wrong?" Sebastian asked.
"They're being babies." You said walking over to them sighing. "It's not gonna work this time. He isn't a jerk like him." You said quietly to them, only the two men know what your talking about and that's how you've always wanted it. Now if your wondering what that is. It's about an ex who those two are the only ones who even know about him. It had been getting serious but you ended up getting in a fight and he tried to manipulate by proposing to you (this happened just before you moved out so you were 18) while those two were walking by and ended up "talking" to the guy.
*like who?" Justin asked.
"No one." Jon said hugging you before going over to Sebastian. "Welcome to the family man!" He said. Matt begrudgingly walked over to Sebastian.
"I like you and all but just because your my sister's fiancee I will still kick you ass... In a nerf gun war." Matt changed demeanors as the older kids took that as sign to get their nerf guns from the yard and begin the war again. "Welcome to the family Seabass."
"Ow! Come on!" Sebastian ran off as they began shooting at him.
"Watch the face! I want my fiancee to have both eyes at my wedding!" You exclaimed laughing.
"Glad you care!" Sebastian whined running around with the toddlers while the teens and pre-teens tried to shoot him.
"Don't shoots the little kids or your all grounded!" Matt warned as you leaned your head on your moms shoulder sighing.
What a late Christmas you had. A baby and your getting married.
A/n: I'm a tiny bit in love with this large family... Probably since I want a extended family like this but whatever Merry Christmas if you celebrate Christmas which since you read a Christmas themed story you probably do if not happy holidays!

Ashes to Ashes Jasper X Reader Part 4
After that conversation you avoided everyone for a while. This wasn’t like you but the Cullens knew you just needed some space. Maybe some normal friends. Which you got in a sense. You met these two girls in your history class Priscilla and Penelope (bonus points if you know the inspiration for these two). They were not in your normal social group, but you decided that if Carlisle was going to treat you like a rebellious child you were going to ask like one. A few days later you got your chance.
You were deciding what to wear a for party the girls had invited you to that night. It was at some kid’s house. You didn’t really know him, but it didn’t really matter. You wanted to dance with your friends and look good. You decide on a red knee-length dress with silver accents. You do your hair and makeup the way Alice and Rosalie taught you to catch a man and decided on a pair of silver stud earrings and the necklace Jane had given her a few weeks ago. It was pretty. I silver chain with a clear round pendant holding some sort of liquid. You paired it with some red heels and headed downstairs to meet her friends, but Edward stopped you.
“Where are you going this late?”
“Edward it’s eight at night calm down. And my new friends invited me to a party tonight so I’m going.”
“Did you tell Carlisle?”
“One: no, I did not we are still not on speaking terms, and two even if we were I am an adult I don’t have to ask his permission to do anything. Now get out of my way, I’m supposed to meet the girls down the street for a ride.”
“Just be careful okay? Come back in one piece.”
“I’ll try my best”
You walk down the street and get in the car with Priscilla and Penelope.
“Hey girls. You both look amazing.”
“You too red is definitely your color”
“Yeah and I love that necklace. Where’d you get it?”
“It was gift from my aunt. The one who lives in Italy.”
“That is so cool.”
After a few minutes of driving you notice the road beginning to look more familiar than the rest of the drive. You realize where the girls are heading and ask to make sure.
“Hey Penelope, where is this party again?”
“It’s in the woods on the reservation.” You start to panic internally. You could not go back there.
“Ummm. Hey, I don’t really feel comfortable in that part of forest. I have an ex there and his family kind of hates my family for some reason, it’s a long story.”
“Well we’re going.”
“I’d rather not. Could you just turn around and take me back home?”
“No way. I am not backtracking just cause you don’t want to face your ex.”
You see a gas station up ahead and recognize the area. You aren’t on their land yet.
“Fine just pull over at the gas station and let me out. I’m not going.”
“Fine. You are such a buzz kill. No way are we inviting you out again.”
They pull the car over and you get out. You go inside the gas station and take your phone out of your purse. You can’t call Edward he’ll just tell Carlisle, same issue with Esme and Rosalie. Emmet would just tell Rosalie and now you’re back to square one. Alice is out of town. That leaves you with one option: Jasper. You decide to take your chances and hit call.
“hello?”
“Jasper thank god”
“(y/n)?”
“Yes, look I messed up. It’s a long story and I know that we aren’t on the best of terms, but I need help and you can’t tell anybody. I’m at the gas station on third and McLane, just please come pick me up.”
You hear complete silence for a few moments.
“Hello?”
“I’m on my way.”
Within a few minutes Jasper was there. You jumped in the car, tears already streaming down your cheeks. He feels the sadness coming from you in waves. You tell him to drive and he does.
“I’m sorry. I messed up and I didn’t know who else to call. After this whole fiasco with Carlisle, I couldn’t call him, and the others would just tell him, and I can’t face him right now.”
“What happened?”
“You remember my new ‘friends’?”
“yeah”
“well they invited me to a party tonight.”
“explains the dress”
“right. Well I didn’t ask where the party was. They said some kid was throwing it and I assumed it would be at his house, but it turns out it’s in the woods on the reservation.”
“You Were going to the Reservation!”
“NO! as soon as figured out where it was I told the girls I didn’t wanna go, but they wouldn’t turn around, so I told them to drop me off at the gas station and then I called you. I’m surprised you even picked up the phone.”
“Of course, I did. What did you think I was going to do ignore you? Leave you stranded out here?”
“I thought you’d tell Carlisle, so you didn’t have to deal with me.”
“Why would I do that?”
“Because you hate me.” You lurch forward as Jasper slams the breaks.
“you think I hate you?”
“yes. Though I don’t know why.”
“(y/n) I don’t hate you.”
“Then why do you ignore me constantly? Or give me the look of death? What did I do?”
“Nothing (y/n) you didn’t do anything wrong. You’re smart, and kind, and happy and I’m not. I just didn’t wanna kill your mood.”
“well that was counterproductive. Maybe smile at me? Hug me like everyone else does? Hell, even just acknowledge my presence instead of hiding?”
“I picked you up didn’t I? and I didn’t tell Carlisle.”
“Okay that’s a start. Just promise me you won’t tell him what happened?”
“I promise.”
“Thank you, now can we please continue forward before another car runs into us?”
“Of course,”
Jasper drove the rest of the way in silence. Dropping you off a little ways up the street so you could pretend he never picked you up. Before you get out of the car he turns to you.
“You look really pretty tonight. I’m sorry you ended up with such terrible friends.”
“Thanks. And Thank you for coming to get me.”
“Anytime.”
He drives away, parks the car in the garage and walks into the house to find the rest of the family waiting for him at the door. Rosalie speaks up first.
“And where exactly did you disappear to?”
“Nowhere important. I just went for a drive.”
“He’s lying.”
“Shut up Edward.” Jasper and Edward exchange looks, and Edward decides it’s best to keep his mouth shut.
“Fine”
“No Edward not fine. Jasper where did you go?”
“Rosalie drop it.” Edward leans over to whisper to Rosalie
“Who does he smell like Rosie?” Rosalie furrows her eyebrows inhaling slightly before her eyes widen.
“Where’s (y/n)?”
As if on cue you walk through the front door. Rosalie and Carlisle give Jasper a look that says, ‘we’ll finish this later’ and they all go to the living room.
“(y/n) I thought you were going to a party?”
“Edward you had one job. Keep your mouth shut. It doesn’t matter anyway, I got to the party, there were drugs, and the other two were drunk so I took a cab home. This night has been nothing but a waste of an outfit. I’m starving. Mom do we have any leftovers in the fridge?”
“Yeah honey, I’ll make you something.”
“It’s okay. I got it. Thanks mom.” You give Esme a quick kiss on the cheek before disappearing into the kitchen. As you pass Rosalie she breathes in slightly to confirm her suspicions. She looks at Jasper with rage. As soon as you’re out ear shot she’s at his throat.
“Outside now. All of us.”
Esme stays in the house long enough to make sure you’ve taken your food upstairs and gone to your room before joining the others about a mile away. Rosalie looks at Jasper likes she wanted to kill him and if Emmet hadn’t put his hand on her shoulder to calm her down She may have.
“What did you do?!”
“I didn’t do anything. I went for a drive.”
“Care to explain how (y/n) fits into that drive?”
“She didn’t she told you herself she went to a party.”
“Then why does she smell like you?”
Edward cuts in. “Jasper just tell them the truth.”
“I told her I wouldn’t say anything.”
“Fine then I will.”
“No, you will not.”
Carlisle joins into the conversation with his normal calm demeanor.
“Edward stop it. Jasper we can see that you obviously didn’t hurt her. We just wanna know what happened.”
“look she made me promise not to tell you what happened Carlisle because she doesn’t want your judgement. She’s mad enough at you so if I tell you then you have to promise me that she will never find out about this.”
“I just want what’s best for my daughter.”
“And I just convinced her that I don’t hate her, don’t make me lose progress here.”
“She never has to know Jasper that’s why we are all out here.”
“Okay. She found out the party was on wolf territory, she didn’t wanna go but her friends wouldn’t take her home. They dropped her off at a gas station and she didn’t wanna face any of you, so she called me. I drove her back and dropped her off a little ways away so she could pretend that she left the party for whatever reason and not have to face Carlisle’s judgement for her horrible choice in friendship. There. Ya happy now?” Carlisle seems satisfied with the answer, but Edward had another question.
“Why?”
“What do you mean why?”
“Why pick her up? Why not tell one of us to go get her?”
“Because she said not to tell any of you.”
“Why listen to that though? Why go through the trouble of lying to us when you know we can tell?”
“because I didn’t want to lose the trust I just gained from her. I just convinced her that I don’t despise her.”
“Why do you care what she thinks of you?”
“Because I love her!” There’s a beat of silence as Jasper looks at the shocked faces of his newfound family. “There. I said it. I love her. And I wish I didn’t because every time I smell her blood I wanna tear into her throat, but she is the happiest person I have ever met, and I want to protect her at all costs. So as much as I want her I know that she will be miserable as one of us. I am doing the best I can.”
“She’s your mate.”
Rosalie cuts in with a harshness in her voice.
“No, She Is NOT. We have worked her entire life to protect her from our kind. She is not turning. She is going to finish her senior year and go to college and be a normal kid for once.”
“And how exactly do you plan to keep explaining away ya’ll never aging as she grows old and dies? Or better yet do you plan to explain at all?”
“We will cross that bridge when we come to it”
“No, you’ll burn it.”
Carlisle cuts in to prevent Rosalie from killing anyone tonight.
“Jasper’s right. We haven’t thought this all the way through and besides she has to turn within the year anyway. Aro said she turns before she’s nineteen or he’ll do it himself.”
“You didn’t think this was important information for us to have weeks ago?”
“He made a comment about how he thought it would be Jasper who turned her. I thought he was referring to his lack of self-control, but now I’m thinking that may not be the case.”
“Carlisle you need to tell her what’s going on.”
“I know. We’ll tell her in the morning. Be prepared though cause I can’t see this going over well in any way.”
As the family enters the house to go about their normal business, they know something isn’t right when they smell blood. Esme heads towards the kitchen and screams. The rest of the family rushes to see what the matter is. They find (y/n) on the kitchen floor collapsed. Hand bleeding and the glass pendent she had shattered in her palm.
“CARLISLE!”
“I see her.”
“Do something! What’s wrong with her?”
“She cut her hand open the pendant was glass it’s probably what cut her hand, but this shouldn’t cause this type of reaction.”
“Wait, didn’t that necklace have water in it?” Carlisle’s eyes widen as he picks up the remains of the pendant. He looks closer at the small droplet of liquid left on the glass shards.
“It’s not water Edward. It’s venom. It’s in her veins already.” Carlisle looks to his family as the stare back at the poor girl on the floor in horror.
“She’s turning.”

Seeing Stars Ch. 5
“Come in, come in!” Darius yelled into a radio and growled.
“Darius, calm down.” Brooklynn said softly from her desk, glancing up from her computer.
“How?” Darius asked. “Ben and Kenji…”
He closed his eyes.
“They’ll be okay.” Yaz said. “You know they will.”
They had holed up in the main bunker, four regular sized rooms available along with a few lockers filled with food, artillery and airtight with recycled air and enough running water for a week at most. After they had been attacked, they were cornered there, the other community bunkers having been unusable since many had leaks and no air purification.
“Why didn’t we all come here?” Brooklynn asked with a sigh.
“Your parents must have never thought to use them.” Sammy said, blowing a cloud of dust off a keyboard.
“Sammy.” Brooklynn said. “How are the security monitors?”
“Half are still dark. No way to get into contact without manually resetting the system.”
“Then we reset the system.” Yaz said and went to a locker.
She opened it to see a set of large heavy flashlights, flares and…
“Hello.” She hummed and pulled out a tranquilizer gun. She found a few darts, checking the expiration on the box. “Still good.”
“You can’t just stroll down the tunnel, Yaz—”
“I’ll go with her, Sammy.” Darius said, taking the second flashlight and a walkie talkie. “I know these tunnels as good as any Roth.”
Brooklynn winked. “He does, trust me.”
Sammy got up and hugged Yaz tight, Yaz pulling away to kiss her nose.
“I’ll be back soon with the boys. Make sure the rooms are locked up tight.” She said, handing Sammy the other walkie talkie.”
“You make sure you stay away from those…those things!” Sammy said and Yaz kissed her softly on the lips, the smaller woman humming softly as Yaz pressed her forehead to hers.
“I will.”
“I’m on channel 2.” Darius told Brooklynn, who nodded.
She quickly squeezed out the door, Darius behind her as she turned, watching it shut and hearing the lock click. Yaz banged on it twice, getting three back.
“Okay. Let’s go.” She said and Darius nodded.
Darius led her quickly through the darkened halls.
“Wow.” She said. “Grayson Roth really has an…imagination.”
Darius smiled. “It’s not a hundred percent sealed, if your claustrophobic.”
“I survived gyro-balls, Dude.” She said. “But why not seal it completely?”
“Because then we’d suffocate or starve to death. Grayson had all these fail safes just in case.”
“Out of pocket?”
“Spared no expense.” Darius said and peeked around the corner. “Okay…there’s a maintenance shaft down this way.”
“How do you know so much about this place?” Yaz asked. “I mean, you practically live here yourself, I know, your brother says so.”
“Have I mentioned how annoying it is that you two became gym buddies?”
“You think you guys could keep up?” She teased.
“Ben’s a fast runner. And Cole…” He sighed.
“I’ve been meaning to ask…” She said softly. “About Cole.”
“He’s a good choice. For Kenji I mean.”
“All respect, I don’t think Kenji likes Cajun food.” Yaz said.
“And that means?” Darius asked as he pushed the door open for her and closed it behind them.
“It means, you want cute southern sweetie to court you instead.” Yaz said.
“I-I…” Darius blushed. “I…Kenji would be a better match.”
“Darius.” Yaz put a hand on his shoulder. “You and I know Kenji and Cole don’t want each other like that.”
“…I came back here to protect what was left of the dinosaurs…” Darius said. “I wanted to make a difference. But then, the Roths came, and Kenji’s dad and the island was, is…perfect. And then I met Cole and…I’m a beta, Yaz. And on top of that…I think I might be asexual.”
Yaz hugged her friend as he teared up, rubbing his back. “That doesn’t matter—”
“Alphas want pups! Alphas have ruts!” Darius said. “I’m too…too wrong—”
“Don’t you dare say that!” Yaz said, holding a finger to his chin. “You survived the island like we did, you helped us stay safe and showed how great a leader you are. I’m gonna say it, Darius. What we and your family have been saying forever.”
“No. Please—”
“Your Dad would be so proud of who you are. And I know, I know for a fact! You can do anything, I mean anything you set your heart on.” She said.
“I…”
“Besides. I’m pretty sure everyone knows Kenji and Ben are like…a thing.” Yaz said and Darius laughed.
“Yeah.” He said with a smile.
“Now—” She paused and looked up. “Whoa.”
Darius looked up himself to see a huge control panel.
“Just like a fuse box.” He said. “Just switch off and on and press the buttons.”
Yaz nodded and looked around the room, noticing another door that seemed to be sealed with a pin pad.
“What is this?” She asked. “Hey Darius?”
“Mmhm?” He asked as he started to carefully go down the board.
“When’s Cole and Brooklynn’s birthday?”
“June first and March eighth.” He called.
Yaz put the dates in the four pin lock and huffed when it beeped at her. She then put in Cole’s and Brooklynn’s birth years. Two more angry beeps after each told her she was wrong.
“How long have Grayson and Jasper been married?”
“Uh…Twenty seven years as if August.”
Yaz typed in 1994 and gasped as the door slid open halfway as the very mountain seemed to shutter and silence.
“Darius?”
“Hold on a sec.” He said.
There was a soft hum and they heard the walkie crackle.
“Yaz?” Sammy called. “Darius?”
“Hey, yeah.” Darius said from the dark. “You guys, okay?”
“Yeah, looks like all the monitors are booting back up and…yes! We have visual—”
“Sammy?” Yaz asked.
“Get out of there!” Brooklynn yelled as the lights came on, many little bodies screeching as the light reflected off their bulbous eyes.
“Darius!” Yaz yelled. “Get inside!”
Darius dove into the doorway as Yaz back up, swinging the tranq gun up as a troodon leapt at them, the door shutting behind it.
“Get behind me!” Yaz yelled and knocked a dart in the gun.
The troodon snarled and crouched, Darius ducking behind Yaz and grabbing a random blunt object.
Yaz shot at it and it flopped down.
“I don’t think it could see us.” Darius said as the creature huffed and laid still.
“Oh thank goodness.” She said and Darius grabbed a roll of electrical tape from the desk of…
“Simon Masrani?” He asked, looking at the name plate in his hand.
“What?” Yaz asked and Darius shoot his head.
“Uh, never mind.” He said and taped the dinosaur’s mouth shut, wrapping it’s eyes with a bandana he had wrapped around his arm.
“Get me that first aid kit?” He asked.
Yaz grabbed a kit from the wall and Darius used gauze, bandages and medical tape to wrap it’s claws up, then tie it’s legs together and arms to its body, Darius using more electric tape over the bandages.
“Smart.”
“Had to do this with some baby velociraptors.” He said, then looked back at the desk, noticing the computer booting up.
“What is this doing locked up?” he asked.
Yaz clicked the space bar and they saw the video system was still on.
“There’s two files.” Yaz said and clicked on one.
Simon Masrani looked at the camera, as if directly at them, his warm face smiling.
“Grayson. My friend. My brother. I must tell you that things…they are not good. I have just been informed that Brom’s widow is pregnant. She was a good wife to him, a good friend to us both. If not for her blessing, Brom and I would not have…We would not have had the time we had together. She allowed the man she married to be with the man he loved, and she did so out of love.”
“Whoa.” Yaz said.
“I loved Brom. In his last few years, I loved with all my heart and it is only just that his child be my rightful heir. That child ties you to me as well.” He looked at his hands. “Four families tied by a single baby.”
He chuckled and looked up at the camera.
“I don’t care if they are an alpha like I am, a beta like their mother or an omega like thier father.” He said. “I want you to make sure when their mother reveals the truth, that they are the one who holds power. I’m counting on you, my friend.”
The video ended and Yaz blinked.
“So…Masrani was having an affair with a married man?”
“A married omega man, who’s wife blessed the union of Masrani and her husband.” Darius supplied.
Yaz clicked on the second video and Masrani looked frantic, he was older, like…
“This looks like the day he died.” Darius said.
“My friend.” He said. “Today, a disaster has fallen over my park and I fear I could lose my life. I need you to make sure my son is taken care of. Make sure his mother is the only one to gain my fortune and do not tell him of his parentage. I was suppose to meet him today!”
He clutched his hair.
“I was going to…Please keep this video close. Show him this."
He looked at the camera, smiling.
“Son...My—”
*
Yaz sat on the desk.
“This changes everything.” She mumbled.
“I know.” Darius said.
“I don’t think he knows.”
“His mom was suppose to tell him.”
“But!” She huffed and paced. “We need to get back to everyone.”
She found a flash drive and saved the videos to them.
“Okay. Just in case. Ready?”
“For what?”
“To run, Darius. I’m getting to my future wife and showing Kenji this.”
Darius nodded and grabbed the walkie form his belt.
“Come in.” He said.
“Darius, what have you been doing?” Brooklynn asked.
“Get ready.” Darius said. “And turn the lights all the way up in the tunnels.”
“Okay.” There was a pause. “You’re clear. Go, go, go!”
Darius slammed the door open and he and Yaz ran.
Yaz ran behind Darius, watching him pound on the door.
The door opened and Darius fell in, Yaz running behind him as Ben shut the door.
“Ben?!” She yelled and hugged him.
“We just got here.” He said with a smile. “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
She looked to see Kenji on a sofa, sweating and panting.
“Kenji?”
“He was bitten.” Sammy said, wiping his head with a cool wet rag.
Ben walked over to him. “I was able to treat him using some tranquilizers and some antibiotics.”
“How did you know to do that?” Yaz asked.
“Ever hear of a Laura Sorkin?” Ben asked.
“Ooh, yeah.” Darius said. “Crazy scientist.”
Yaz took a breath and looked at the security monitors, noticing most were still under water.
“Okay, guys.” She said, placing the tranq gun down. “What now?”

Twilight Re-watch Notes Pt. 1 - A Contest for the Worst Movie Quote in History
I'd like to think I'm funny so please enjoy my scene-by-scene notes from a recent Twilight Saga re-watch.
Hey Catherine Hardwicke, opening with the death of an animal was probably not the best choice but go off I guess??
There is a lot of general Bella awkwardness that I'm skipping over here but the scene in gym class is so horrifically, painfully uncomfortable that I almost passed out from the second-hand embarrassment.
Jessica trying her best to be fake nice to the human embodiment of a crumpled soda can: "Aren't people from Arizona like....really tan"
Bella with all the cadence of a child who just found out Santa isn't real: "yeah..I guess that's why they kicked me out"
Mike clearly just trying to get his dick wet: "HAHAH you are funny"
no mike she is not.
I'm not gonna go into the biology class scene because god knows tumblr has beaten that particular horse to death. BUT the scene in the administration office immediately after that is a TRIP. Edward has one of his most dramatic lines here when they won't let him switch classes: “I’ll just have to endure it” ?!?!?!?!?!?! This is INSANITY, he sounds like he's going to burst into tears like Edward please chill you aren't even being a little subtle.
I will never get over Bella trying to put Ketchup on her burger and then just???? giving up???? when it doesn't come out after she limply shakes it approximately once.
“HOW YOU LIKIN DA RAIN GIRL” Is our first contender for the worst and most unnatural line in movie history, and trust me there are plenty more.
Bella accusatorily saying “you were gone” to Edward as if this dude who she met for approximately 30 minutes 2 weeks ago owes her even a PALTRTY SCRAP of an explanation about anything???????
Actually, this whole scene is a horrific nightmare of awkward intrusive conversation:
“You’re asking me about the weather” HOE WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GONNA TALK ABOUT YOU DON’T KNOW EACH OTHER
“hey did you get contacts” WHO JUST ASKS THAT?!?
and of course; “it’s the fluorescents” [RUNS AWAY]
Charlie and Bella have the only organic-sounding dialogue in the entire movie. Any awkwardness they have is BELIEVABLE father-daughter awkwardness and not like "I'm being forced to film this against my will" awkwardness like every other exchange in this film series.
Bella asks Edward ALL OF ONCE about him saving her from the truck and Edward gets so haughty and smug thinking that Bella won't figure it out
“you’re not gonna let this go are you?” “no” “then I hope you enjoy disappointment” [storms off] MY DUDE LITERALLY 2 SCENES LATER SHE FIGURES IT OUT IN 3 GOOGLE CLICKS
“I had an adrenaline rush, it’s very common you can google it” contender number two for the terrible dialogue award.
Edward saying “if you were smart you would stay away from me” AFTER HE APPROACHED HER LIKE FUCK OFF [skeleton throwing its own skull gif]
Kstew got a lot of flack for her performance in this movie but when she has a good partner to exchange lines with she SHINES. The scene with Angela and her at the beach where she tells her to ask Eric to prom is GOOD. EVERY scene with Charlie in THIS ENTIRE FRANCHISE is GOOD. It is nothing but pure misogyny that Rpatz didn’t catch any flack for his truly, horrifically awkward performance
I cannot believe Stephanie thought it would be a good idea to have Edward save Bella from potentially getting gang r*ped like I get it girl is about the drama but still this is just a TOOOUCH too far
“your hand is so cold,” WHO SAYS THIS TO SOMEONE THEY BARELY KNOW COMPLETELY UNPROMPTED???
SHE TRIES TO REFUSE CARRYING BEAR MACE WHEN SHE WAS ALMOST R*PED NOT 4 HOURS PREVIOUSLY LIKE SIS CARRY A KNIFE?!?!?!?!?
The “you’re impossibly fast & strong” monologue is so bad I want to barf
“I’ve killed people before” “doesn’t matter” BITCH YES IT DOES WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
“MY OWN PERSONAL BRAND OF HEROIN” IS SO BAD. Like we all recognize how bad this is right? Especially when one considered the target demographic for these films, i.e. teenage girls, have NO FUCKING FRAME OF REFERENCE FOR THIS WHAT.SO.EVER.
“And so the lion fell in love with the lamb” YOU’VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR ALL OF 3 SECONDS I CAN’T WITH Y'ALL. AT LEAST THE BOOK HAD SOME BUILD-UP JESUS GEEZUS
Who thought this meadow scene was a good idea, they need to be sent straight to hell. WHY ARE THEY LAYING DOWN LIKE, SIT MAYBE?????? IT’S SO WEIRD AND UNNATURAL THEY LOOK LIKE DOLLS I HATE IT
The scene where they get out of the car and Edward puts his arm around Bella while Spotlight by Mutemath plays in the background is TOP TIER teen drama bs and I love it. Far and away the best shot in the movie apart from The Baseball Scene(TM).
I will never get over the fact that Edward's bitch ass rats Bella out for already eating when she comes over to meet his family. BE FUCKING COOL EDWARD FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, GOD!!!
Esme is too pure for this world I can’t deal with her, & Emmet waving the knife is my favorite thing in all 5 of these movies
Why tf are Alice and Jasper fucking off doing god knows what in a tree and not helping with dinner like everyone else? Y'all ain't special even Rosalie is helping
Esme talking to Rosalie “Clean this up..now” I LOVE YOU BE MY MOM
Earlier they talk about the fact that vampires don’t sleep BUT the first thing Bella says when she walks into Edward's room is “no bed” girl we know what you after you ain't slick.....
WHAT IS THIS DANCING SCENE IN HIS BEDROOM IT’S HORRIBLE TO WATCH and I want to find whoever thought “well I could always make you” was a good line for Edward to say and slap them directly in the mouth.
“hold on tight spider monkey” excuse me while I VOMIT
Mike offering his opinion on Bella dating Edward HOWEVER justified is automatically invalidated by A. his own romantic interest in Bella and B. the fact that he has also know Bella for all of 10 minutes & has no bearing on her personal life whatsoever
THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS THIS MAN HAS BEEN COMING INTO HER ROOM AND WATCHING HER SLEEP THIS IS RED FLAG CITY LIKE BELLA WATCH A TRUE CRIME DOCUMENTARY OR READ THE NEWS FOR FUCKS SAKE
THIS FRANCHISE HAS THE MOST HORRIBLE KISSING SCENES IN MOVIE HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN HEAR LITERALLY EVERY BREATH, EVERY AWKWARD PRESS OF LIPS. You're telling me THIS was the best take of this???? CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW AWKWARD THIS WAS TO FILM
The whole scene when Bella is telling her dad about her date with Edward is absolutely god tier. Charlie snapping the barrel of the shotgun closed, him motioning that he has a halo on, asking her if she still has her pepper spray. BILLY BURKE LIFTED THIS MOVIE UP AND TRIED SO HARD TO CARRY IT ON HIS BROAD, MUSTACHIOED DAD SHOULDERS, WE STAN
WHERE TO START WITH THE BASEBALL SCENE:
Supermassive Black Hole in the background, Alice going AWF with her pitching, Rosalie getting all pissed when Bella says she's out and Emmett yells "c'mon babe it's just a game" like the puppy dog of a person (vampire?) he is, CARLISLE WEARING A SCARF WHILE PLAYING BASEBALL, I WILL NEVER EMOTIONALLY RECOVER FROM JASPERS BAT TRICKS, EMMET AND EDWARDS LAUGH AFTER CRASHING INTO ONE ANOTHER.
A TRULY IMMACULATE MOVIE SCENE. This scene isn’t long enough
“My monkey man” might be the worst line in this movie, I’m so torn between which one is the worst. Also, I'm just now realizing that this is the second time someone has compared a loved one to some type of monkey and I really don't like it.
Bella's defeated “I can’t hurt him” breaks my heart every time. AND FUCKING BILLY BURKE pulling out his acting chops with Charlie’s poor little broken sounding “I know I’m not that much fun to be around we can do more stuff together” & “I just gotcha back” LIKE LITERALLY EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SCENE HURTS ME ON A PHYSICAL LEVEL AND I AM ENTITLED TO FINANCIAL COMPENSATION
I know I've skipped over a lot but it's just a lot of like star wipe level montage of nonsense, so we are mOVING ON to what is possibly the biggest plot hole I've never recognized before now: How in the hell was James planning on luring Bella out if he didn’t find that videotape of Bella's mom looking for her????? Or was he just going to bust up in the holiday inn, metaphorical guns blazing & toss Bella out a window???
This fight scene between James & Edward is VERY poorly choreographed and you can practically see the stunt wires pulling on their clothes but no one is surprised..this is Twilight after all.
Who the fuck starts the fire in the ballet studio if Carlisle & Edward are with Bella, Jasper and Emmet are holding James's arms and Alice is ripping his head off???? Esme and Rosalie aren't there so the only explanation is that Emmett's power Stephanie never told us about is his ability to start small, controlled, indoor bonfires with his mind.
If Bella was losing blood from her femoral artery it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that she would have been cognizant enough to tell them her hand was burning + THERE’S A BIG ASS BITE HOW DID THEY MISS IT???
Let Me Sign is such a good fucking song. Actually, while we're on music every song on every Twilight Saga soundtrack SLAPS. At least 1 department at Summit Entertainment was staffed with competent people. (side note, why the fuck do I know the studio by name that made this movie. I need to go lie down)
Bella acting a damn fool in the hospital bed like clingy much
CHARLIE IS SUCH A GOOD DAD FUCK!
The Edward/Jacob beef is so dramatic at prom can you both chill for 5 minutes we haven't even gotten to y'alls bullshit yet that's not until New Moon.
Bella really thought this mfer was gonna turn her at prom in the middle of the dancefloor??????????
Flightless Bird American Mouth. That's it, that's the bullet point
Victoria coming to prom, like we stan a dramatic bitch.
I will almost CERTAINLY post my New Moon (Extended Edition) notes in a few days. & yes I do have notes on the entire franchise.

Gravity, Ghosts, and Gems
Part 3/???
The New Kids
Part 3
Steven could see his answer did little to reassure or calm his trembling roommate. “Hey, I’m still me. A-And I’m not going to hurt you! I just..... Let’s just talk.”
“So, how did you get white hair and a cool jumpsuit?” Steven tried to talk to Danny more casually, as he could see his panic from their shared dream had not gone away.
“Well, to understand you would first have to know my parents are ghost hunters. Or ghost scientists they never really make it clear.”
“Wait, like spooky horror movie dead people ghosts?”
“Yeah.”
“Wait ghosts are real?!”
“Yes” Danny’s voice was growing more annoyed.
“I’ve gotta tell Sadie” Steven whispered to himself, stars in his eyes.
“What?”
“Uhhhh nothing. Continue.”
“So yeah my parents study ghosts. And for years they’d been working on a portal to the ghost world. They wanted to prove to everyone that they weren’t crazy, and they also just wanted to learn everything about ghosts.” Danny became less tense as he told his story. He’s had to keep it a secret for so long that now telling anyone felt like a major relief. “So after like years they finally got it into working order. Except it didn’t turn on. No matter what they tried it just wouldn’t go. They were really bummed and got discouraged for a while, but me and my friends still wanted to check it out.”
Steven listened intently as Danny told him about the accident. Sam, Tucker, the jumpsuit, the flash. Everything just sounded so painful. Part of Steven just wanted to reach out and hug Danny, but Steven restrained himself because he knew they weren’t there yet. After all Danny probably still though Steven was a big scary pink lady. So Steven just kept listening as Danny told him everything. About Vlad. About his parents hunting him. About Danielle. About his older self. By the time Danny had gotten to him revealing himself to his folks, Steven was ready to cry. Steven could never imagine how much pain Danny had gone through. And yet he could see it vividly. He could see it in his own life story, stretched out over years and galaxies, and only now being properly dealt with between him and his therapist.
“So yeah, I’m half ghost and I protect the world. Well mostly my town but you get the point. And nobody knows but my family and friends. And I guess you, now. So what’s your story. Did your parents make a portal that fused you with some pink lady?” Danny had said that jokingly, but Steven’s emotions were still weird, both from hearing Danny’s story and now having to tell his own.
“Well, I’m half gem, so I’m kinda like you, but my gem powers didn’t come from an accident. You see, my mom was a gem who...”
“Wait, wait, wait. What are gems? I know you have that thing on your stomach but like, what does it do?”
“Ok so now I have to go way back. Gems are an alien species whose physical forms are just projections from their gemstone. All gems have one, and they can all do different things. Some gems also come together to make...”
“Wait back up. You’re saying you’re..... an alien?”
“Well technically half alien on my mom’s side. But I’ve spent my whole life here on earth.”
“So aliens actually exist?” Danny could barley process what he was hearing. Every NASA scientist he had looked up to was wrong. All of their data and calculations were disproven by the mere existence of this kid standing infront of him. Could he be the first junior astronaut to make contact with alien life?
Danny could tell that Steven was waiting for him to stop being confused. His look said it all. So Danny put back on the chill persona he had had before and let Steven continue. He was gripped by the rich tapestry Steven had woven with his words. A rebellious princess(that’s who the big pink lady was), a secret taken to the grave, a war for the fate of the planet, a tale of love found and love lost. All to produce the spunky little kid who was Steven Universe. He told Danny about his similar face offs with villians of his own kind. About the new family he found along the way and how he saved two planets with love. Steven told Danny a bit about his breakdown following Homeworld’s reconstruction, but left it very vague. He mentioned that he hurt Jasper and that he reached his breaking point and blew up in front of his family. But he just left it at that. At least for now, Danny didn’t need to know about the monster that terrorized Beach City. At least for now, Danny could see him as kind of normal.
“So that’s basically it. And then I wanted to experience life outside of gem stuff. So I got in my car and started exploring and being more human. And then I found this job offer online and though it would be a good experience for me, and so here we are.”
“That’s wild.” Danny said, reacting to Steven’s life story. “And that’s kinda what happened to me to. I wanted to get away from ghosts and stuff for a bit. I found this job offer and my parents assured me that they could take care of any ghost business in town, so I packed some stuff and flew here last night.”
“That explains why you were so tired today!”
“Yeah. Even at 112 mph, Illinois to Oregon is a long trip. And I was carrying a bunch of my stuff and had to avoid any major city areas.”
They both laughed, their defenses completely down, as they recognized a trust between them that hadn’t been there before. Neither of them had got entirely comfortable when Steven remembered another thing he had noticed earlier.
“Did you see the room of that Dipper kid who lives here? His walls were covered with conspiracy and supernatural related stuff.”
“Yeah. I was able to recognize part of my parents in that kid.” At that thought Danny came to a realization. “Which means we probably shouldn’t tell him about any of this.”
“Yeah.” Steven agreed. “He’s either gonna want to ask us a million questions...”
“Or strap us down to a table and rip us apart molecule by molecule.” The tone of the room got considerably darker, as Danny realized what ‘being like his parents’ actually meant. They both sat silently for a few moments, neither knowing how to respond. Finally, Steven spoke.
“So no one finds about about us? At least until we know we can trust them. Like be 100% certain that they’re gonna be cool with us” Steven was trying to stear the conversation into a more hopeful direction, and it kinda worked.
“Yeah” Danny answered, lifting is head, a slightl smile now returning to his face. “Besides, is not like there’s evil ghost or aliens running around here. In Gravity Falls. So we should have no problem keeping our powers on the down low.”
“Yeah” Steven laughed. “Everything seems normal here. What do we have to worry about?” With that, both decided to finally go to sleep, secure in the knowledge that nothing weird happens in Gravity Falls.
Right?
