dynamic: avengers x teen!reader (teenage avenger series)

characters: so many oml but some include tony stark, bruce banner, natasha romanoff, clint barton, thor, steve rogers, scott lang, bucky barnes, wanda maximoff, sam wilson, there's probably more but that's all i'll put for now lol

a/n: y'all know i had to use this picture LMAO anyways ty for the request!!! two in one day #slay (that rhymes) requests are still open, send in an ask whenever :)

taglist: @nutellani @thecloudedmind

(fill out this form to be on my taglist!)

-----------------------✰----------------------

ok first i’m gonna name ur bf so it doesn’t get confusing

HAHA

let’s call him

jack

guys i’m so unoriginal pls ignore :’)

anyways so you had been dating jack for a while

he had asked you to go to midtown’s winter formal together :)

and ofc u didn’t tell any of the avengers bc u KNEW they wouldn’t react well

but of COURSE mr. peter parker was so excited that he had to open his big mouth

miles kicked him under the table but it was too late

“who asked you to the formal y/n?” natasha asked, a small smile on her face

you could FEEL yourself blushing

all you wanted to do was like sink into the floor

which is actually physically possible (though it’s an anomaly)

bruce told you that :D

anyways you just shook your head

so then HARLEY decided to go “jack lastname”

IM REALLY BAD AT NAMES IM SORRY

and you were ready to die

right then and there

if the grim reaper decided it was your time you would be fine with it

so tony goes “jack lastname… huh.”

“tony, please don’t – “ you tried, but he was already there.

“jarvis, can you run a background check on that kid.”

you were so embarrassed.

miles, sweet sweet miles tried to change the subject

“so um… steve. how was… your day.”

but then there was sam wilson butting in

“when is winter formal anyway? you know we gotta know so we can take pictures.”

and that made you, harley, peter, and miles groan

tony was still looking at some tablet or whatever.

“stark!” came thor’s booming voice. “i thought you said no electronic devices were permitted at the dinner table! if they were, i would be much happier!!”

“yeah yeah. well they’re not. i’m busy.” tony replied, dismissing the god with a wave of his hand.

and happy, who was right next to tony, kept leaning over and shaking his head or nodding.

SO EMBARRASSING

anyways once you got done with dinner you went to put the dishes in the dishwasher robot

idk why i said it like that but it’s basically this cool thing where you put the dishes in the sink and this robot will wash them & put them away

very nice bc doing the dishwasher is so much work sometimes.

but then wanda, nat and carol came in

and you KNEW they were gonna try to get you to talk

“i’ll tell you guys later.” you spoke, trying to end the embarrassment.

“come on y/n! we want to see him at least.” carol said, tilting her head and raising a brow.

“ok fine.” you said, and pulled up a picture of jack. you showed it to them for like one second and then put your phone back in your pocket.

“hey wait! no fair! i wanna see! yeah.” came the voices of sam, clint, scott, and bucky as they tried to fight their way into the kitchen.

“that’s a hard no. maybe i’ll bring him here after the dance. harley peter miles and i were already going to stay over. then he could walk by you guys for TWO SECONDS and then do something with me.”

“alright.” said sam, crossing his arms and nodding.

“seems fair!” said bruce.

“perfect.” you replied, leaving the room to leave them all to inevitably gossip.

SKIP AHEAD

ok so it’s winter formal

and you strategically told jack to meet you there so that the avengers couldn’t bombard him during picture taking time.

so y’all had a super fun time

& u slow danced with each other 🤭🤭

it was super fun

but you were kind of dreading going back to the tower

you had told jack about being an avenger a few weeks ago

and he was super excited to meet them all

jack is like super sweet & really awesome

so it put you at ease a little bit.

so you went back to the tower with him

peter harley and miles had gone to get ice cream and were coming back later

so you did the retinal and fingerprint scan that would let you into the elevator

and you went up to the main floor (so you could get to your room)

but ofc they were all there

and so you took jack’s hand and brought him over to where they all were

he was lowkey freaking out

and bro

bucky and sam and clint and scott looked so unamused

tony and happy too

SO YOU JUST TRIED TO KEEP IT CIVIL

but they all were acting so clipped and like not charismatic

idk

but wanda, steve and bruce were rly nice so that put jack at ease a little bit

anyways so then you took jack to your room

you guys had been planning to watch a movie together

he was kind of nervous because he didn’t think the avengers liked him

but you assured him they did

(at least you hoped)

anyways you turned on the movie & watched it

and it was soo funny so y’all were laughing a lot

BUT THEN THE DOOR SUDDENLY OPENED

and it was so loud you got freaked out fr

but then you saw it was tony, bucky, sam and steve.

“y/n. could you go out in the hall for a minute.” steve said.

“this is my room!!” you tried, but tony just pointed out to the hall.

“i’m sorry jack.” you said to your boyfriend

jack was literally about to cry omg

poor thing

“don’t be mean.” you said as you left, taking extra care to give them all a withering stare

natasha and bucky had taught you that skill well bc you saw sam shiver HAHA

so you went to the hall and clint, scott, and natasha were standing there.

“what are they DOING??” you hissed at them.

“they’re just worried for you y/n. they wanted to talk to the kid.” natasha assured you, patting your shoulder.

“yeah, nothin’ to worry about!!” scott added, a big grin on his face

“well i really don’t trust that coming from you.” you replied

“well tony thought you guys were kissing in there!” clint laughed.

although it turned into an “ow” when natasha elbowed him

“he WHAT?!” you replied

“yeah, that’s why he came up here. he said he wanted the most intimidating ones to go make that kid afraid or something.” scott added. “not sure why he didn’t ask me…”

you gave scott a nod but then made your way back into your room, crossing your arms and raising a brow as tony, bucky, sam and steve turned towards you.

“hey y/n.” sam said, raising a hand to wave.

“are you guys done now? i’d like to finish the movie.” you said, trying to be stern.

“i think we are. right jack?” steve said, standing up and gesturing towards your boyfriend.

“yes sir! i mean steve. i mean mr. rogers?” he said, clearly scared out of his mind.

“yeah yeah. alright. get out please!!” you said, guiding them out of your room.

bucky was the last to leave, but despite you pushing him, he turned back to face your boyfriend.

“hey, you. hurt them in any way and i’ll find you.” he said, accompanied by his signature deathstare.

then he gave a little salute to you.

“night kid. don’t stay up too late.”

and then he was gone.

“did he really mean that??” jack said, eyes wide.

“yeah, he did.” you said, sitting beside him and holding his hand. “isn’t that sweet?”

Heyyyu if your still doing requests, I've got one for Transformers if your still into it.

Cyberverse wavewave.

Preferably not just straight up smut... it's fine to have of course if you want just like... most wavewave cyberverse stuff is pure smut...

But anyway! Have a great day/night/evening!

Oh they are— my top favorite ngl if I swap their names I’m sorry—

I feel like Shockwave and Soundwave are your usual enemies to lovers or like old divorced couples

I can see them in the first part of the relationship they just keep butting head and correct each other at the little things like— no matter how small it is they will correct it just to be petty.

Then the second part of their relationship where they become friends they start finding out that they’re interested in the same field or that their research lead to the same conclusion where they have to work together. Occasionally they gonna have those thought like “holy shit this finding is cool as hell but I can’t tell him that!”

The first person who fell was shockwave and it very much a “heh, I guess he’s not that bad…..maybe when he’s excited it’s admirable……….wait…..FUCK WHY—“ moment and he hate it but there’s no turning back now. So begrudgingly he just start doing subtle things in a way that would get Soundwave excited— maybe a research he know Soundwave would love to find first, or him winning an argument, anything really. he just never admit that he did it for that reasons “please it was just luck, I could’ve find those discoveries” “don’t get cocky just because you won one argument” etc

When Soundwave fell was when he was walking around and some other bot were gossiping like “man why can’t Shockwave go easy on me too?” And practically snitch on Shockwave. He was being like “haha what an idiot doing something so dumb….it’s…it’s kinda feel nice having someone do that for you……huh…..well fuck me”

When they finally get over their pride and get together they just keep that banter going. Just on and on. During work time they still try to out do each other and blow each other lab but when they’re off the clock they just— sit together and do science shit for their entertainment. Just cuddling yet denying that they’re cuddling

@kingarthurmorgantheoutlaw : Hope your doing well cutie! 😉❤ I'm sure your probably getting a bit tired of a lot of RE8 requests as of lately, so Imma go against the grain and spice it up a little with something different for ya! I've been thinking of Esme Cullen from Twilight with a gn! S/O who plays 'The Sims 4', but is just a casual Simmer. However they are mainly into building/designing houses instead of what others normally do when playing the Sims. And since Esme is an actual architect herself- maybe S/O wants Esme to judge their "hard work" of the houses S/O had built in the game. (Plus it's cute bonding time with Esme and her S/O!!!!❤❤❤❤)

I’m doing alright, gorgeous ;) I’ll never get tired of RE8, but I have been a bit lovesick over the Twilight women recently (Esme and Rosalie mostly). I made Esme the motherly girlfriend and as always Y/N is stupid. Let’s get into it!

You had gotten your copy of the Sims 4 and were so excited to play it.

You and Emmet had just finished a brutal brawl in Madden and you needed something to unwind with.

The sounds of you two yelling at each other soon faded and the Cullen house was calm once again.

Jasper finally felt safe enough to come out of his room now that emotions weren’t running high.

You settled yourself on the couch and dedicated the next few hours to designing and building. It was relaxing and Rosalie came in to watch you play for a while. She casually offered suggestions and you actually got her to laugh by making an avatar of her.

By the time you were finished, you had created a cute little neighborhood in the game. You were very happy with the work, but… You felt like you needed an artistic eye to judge how you did. You suddenly realized you were dating the most talented interior designer ever and shot up off the couch to go find Esme.

“Esme! Esme! I gotta show you something!” You said barreling towards the kitchen.

Esme had been running errands all day and now she was cooking you dinner. She was planning on testing out a new recipe, and since you were the only human in the house, you got the job of taste tester by default.

As you turned the corner, you tripped and crashed into a counter due to your clumsiness.

Esme gasped and was at your side in an instant. She pulled you up and dusted you off. She finally gave you a once over to make sure you weren’t hurt, and then she (Very nicely) scolded you for running.

“Y/N, this is why we don’t run in the house. You know the rules, my love.” She said and kissed your forehead.

You offered a sheepish smile and Esme pinched your cheek. She made her way back to her cutting board to continue making the food.

“Now, what was it you wanted to say, darling?” She asked and finished adding her ingredients.

“You’re an interior designer but you’re also an architect, right?” You asked.

“Wow, your listening skills have gotten better, my love.” She jokes and grins at you.

You flush at her teasing, but continue on. “I need you to judge my work!” You told her.

Esme raises a confused eyebrow. “Work? Did you make a model of something?” She asks.

You laugh. “Yeah, kinda!” You tell her.

Esme smiles at you. “I’d love to, darling. But you need to eat first. You’ve been out of sight all day and I’m guessing you didn’t have any breakfast or lunch.” She says knowingly.

You pout. “But!-”

“No buts, Y/N. The food is almost ready.” She tells you. “Go sit at the table and I’ll bring you a plate.” She says.

You grunt. Why couldn’t Esme be less attentive? Why did you have to have such an amazing girlfriend who took excellent care of you, kept you out of trouble, and loved you unconditionally… Damn it. Never mind. She was perfect for you.

You sit down and Esme comes over with a delicious looking plate of food.

“This is chicken paprikash, Y/N. It’s a Hungarian dish.” She tells you and kisses your cheek after she puts the plate down.

You chuckle. “Well, it’s definitely making me Hungary! Haha, get it?”

Even though the joke wasn’t particularly funny, your cute face makes her giggle. “Yes, Y/N. That was very good.” Esme praises. “Now, what do you think?” She says and hands you a fork.

You take a bite and immediately melt. “Holy shit, that’s good.” You say as your eyes almost roll back into your head.

Esme clucks her tongue, disapprovingly. “Y/N, language.” She tells you and sits down across from you. She doesn’t like cursing, but she is also flattered you like it.

You laugh and apologize before you quickly wolf down the food. “Ahh, that really hit the spot, babe. Thanks.” You tell her and wipe your mouth before going over and giving her a kiss.

“I’m so glad, baby.” She beams, proud of her cooking.

You stretch before remembering what you wanted to show her. “Oh! You’ve gotta come see what I did! Come on!” You say excitedly.

“Well, lead the way, darling.” She says and offers her hand for you to take.

You grab Esme’s hand and guide her to the living room where the Sims 4 is still on.

You pick up the controller and gesture for her to sit.

Esme is confused that you are showing her a video game.

“I thought you said you made something, dear.” She says.

You exit the pause menu and sit next to her, letting her lean her head on your shoulder. “I did! Check it out!” You say and point to the little neighborhood.

Esme looks at the screen and chuckles. “Oh, now I see.” She says.

“I need your skills, Esme! Did I do a good job on the construction? This house has an open floor plan. Rosalie told me that’s what it’s called.” You say.

Esme nods her head. “Rosalie is right.” She agrees. “This is lovely! Look at all of the natural light you’ve got coming in.” She says and points to the windows.

You feel so validated. “You really like it?” You ask.

“I do, baby.” She says, fighting the urge to coo at how adorable you are. “Very good work.” She tells you and leans up to kiss your cheek.

“So, any suggestions?” You ask.

“Well, there are certain areas that need to be brought up to code.” Esme says, thinking.

You quirk an eyebrow. “Up to code? What’s that?” You ask.

Esme goes into a long explanation of building codes, and infractions, and violations… Your head is spinning not too long after she starts.

Esme sees the lost look in your eyes and chuckles. “It might be better if I just show you.” She says, reaching for the controller.

You watch in wonder as Esme is somehow able to figure out how to use the controller (To your knowledge, you’ve never seen her play or talk about video games before). She adds a few details that make the house look even better.

“Wow…” You say, admiring her handiwork. “This is great, but I’ve gotta say, it was pretty hot watching you game, babe.” You tell her and press kisses along her cool neck.

Esme lets out a stuttering breath at the affection and turns to you with a lustful look in her eyes. “It’s kind of getting me riled up, Y/N…” She pretty much purrs.

You immediately scoop Esme up and carry her to your bedroom, making her squeal and giggle in excitement.

Meanwhile, Jasper and Edward, who happened to be walking by just then, share a blank look at each other.

“I didn’t need to hear any of that.” Jasper says quietly.

“At least you didn’t hear what they were thinking.” Edward says, grimacing and shaking his head.

Summarised wip ask I was going to go

9&12 but then I saw this which made me smile (9 and 12 are still at the idea stage and don't have even a sentence

So I’ll say 1 or 3 instead 💜

all I can say about 9 and 12 are that 9 is a roommates idea where buck goes to live with eddie temporarily but then ends up staying and then they get together (I so wanna write this and tried to start many times but the words are just not flowing idk lol)

and 12 will be another possessive eddie fic but this time I wanted it to be a sfw version where eddie's a famously bad sharer who only shares stuff with buck (and chris) but is also very bad at sharing buck with people lol

1. is alive shannon - I posted a lot of snippets, but eventually it's just gonna be the three of them (Buck and Eddie and Shannon) figuring out how to co-parent together and be friends, even before buddie get together (and they will lol)

here's a lil snippet I haven't shared bc I feel like it needs some changing haha

He decides not to bring it up, aside from a subtle comment – or as subtle as he’s capable of, just a little quip about Eddie and Shannon being awfully domestic and how Buck hopes Chris won’t get his hopes up. It’s none of his business, but it’s Christopher. He’ll always do anything to make sure Christopher doesn’t suffer. And getting his hopes up only to find out all over again that his parents are breaking up would break his little heart. So Buck does say something, immediately following it up by “but it’s none of my business, sorry for butting in.” Eddie didn’t say much in response, just hummed and looked like he was pondering that for a few moments, before thanking Buck, and that was it. Later on, though, Buck could see him and Shannon trying to act more like just friends. Buck can imagine it’s hard, still loving each other but knowing it can’t work, and especially with a kid involved, but he believes they’ll make it work. And he’ll be there for whatever they need him for. A few days later there’s a moment where he and Shannon are left alone for a while, and she takes that opportunity to thank him for saying something, too. She smiles, squeezes his hand, and adds: “I really appreciate you being there for Eddie and Christopher, being their family. Thank you, Buck, for caring about my son so much.”

and 3. is the coffee shop au! these idiots will be dancing around it for months while maddie will get a date with chimney during their first meeting, and I'm so excited for this haha

and a short snippet of that, the moment buck finds out eddie is not only a dad but also single lol (did eddie sneak in the 'single dad' in there on purpose? maybe 👀👀)

“Sorry, you don’t need to hear about my messy morning. Being a single dad has its challenges.” he chuckles again. “No, it’s fine, I- I like talking to you.” Buck hears himself say, as he slowly processes the information. Eddie has a kid. And he’s single. That’s two new pieces of information about Eddie, and they’re the most important yet. “Uh, you have a kid?” “I do. He’s seven. And my whole world.” Eddie says, face lighting up with the fondest expression, one a person gets when they talk about the most precious thing in their life. “He’s waiting for me in the car right now, I told him I’d be quick.”

my badly summarized wips

(duck) w. what are your thoughts on drdt ch 2 so far

hmhmhhhmmmmm

I haven't seen the ttttttwo most recent videos I think, so keep in mind there's still some stuff I haven't seen yet, bc me and my bestie have been too lazy to watch them lately HAHA

ANYWAY........

2 unpopular opinions, which make me laugh because I love being passionately wrong;;

Absolutely cannot stand Teruko right now, she's pissing me off so bad it's embarrassing for everypony, but I'll get over it; I do look forward to what they end up doing with her character, but for now I await satisfying character development like a madman....... rip...... Babygirl stop being so edgy we get it. go to your corner if you must.

Unfortunately, I miraculously still love Arturo, I looove freak characters so much (no one is surprised!!) and I do genuinely think there's potential to come out of his...... err.......... What definitely reads like blatant in-character transphobia. LOL. Seeing this man doubled over in terrifying euphoria is truly all I could've ever asked for, so I can't complain.

In general, Arturo weirdly doesn't read like a character that will progressively get worse and worse until he's put down like ol yeller, I feel that he's got some sort of redemption ahead of him,, whether or not he dies afterwards or in the middle of said redemption. Maybe with an attempt to get genuinely close to J but it's rejected and heartbreaking for him, more spiraling but you feel a little bad for him somehow. Idk. Not to be delusional but I also have this idea, that I REALLY hope is somehow true despite every piece of contradicting canon information, that Arturo is transmasc too ..... because like ..... whatever.. crosses my arms.. you wouldnt get it .........

Not to Verturo on main but-- I smiled when Veronika was like "ok whatever ill just go play with Arturo then 🙄!!" I like to think it was super awkward when she did find him because he probably just infodumped about J the whole time. Veronika being like "can we talk about my day for once" GHHGFKJGHDF. LOVE WHAT VERONIKA HAS DONE THIS CHAPTER SO FAR IN GENERAL SHE'S SO SILLY SO YASS SO KIN

Ace is going fucking BATSHIT and I'm so here for it. GO GIRL BESTIE I LOVE YOUUUUUU SO MUUUCH. For the most part I generally don't care for Levi (just not my typea character ig, nothing personnel kid), so while it is a little YEESH that all of Ace's character rn seems to be driving towards Levi and their heads butting together, I am still a little intrigued by said interactions. They're like a chihuahua and a pitbull, ykno, ykno. Would not be surprised if Levi merked him but that might be too obvious of a kill so hmhmmhmhm.

Speaking of which;; they're also like waaaaaaayyyy playing up the possibility of either Whit and/or Eden dying soon. So I have a feeling they are safe...for now... maybe. Shrugs. I hope Eden gets another layer to her soon, either way, she is very sweet.... too sweet. Take that as you will.

.........Charuko<3

CHARLES IN GENERAL<3

With the tension in the air as it is now, I'm far less worried they're gonna pull another accidental blackened, since idk if anyone remembers but I was very concerned about that in the past. It's fine and fun for a first chapter, though! Gets things rolling I suppose :D Now everyone is incredibly scared and unbearably pissed off at everyone at all times, so yippee!

Fun motive, too, I think the whole secrets thing was a super fun concept in THH and I hope we get to learn everyone's secret at some point. PLEASE I BEG.

GOD. WEIRDLY SOOOOO EXCITED FOR DAVID THIS CHAPTER. REALLY REALLY HOPING HE DOESNT DIE. I WANT TO KNOW MORE HE'S SO SLAAAAAAYY. TWO FACED FREEEEAAAK DOING HIS BEST. PLEASE SNAP. YOU DESERVE IT. THAT IS ALL.

[Gakuen K] Totsuka Tatara Route Translation

Cherry blossom vieving

LIST OF CHAPTERS

[Translation under the cut]

Saya: (Yesterday was a hard day. I can't believe that Totsuka-senpai was head-butted by the sheep...)

Saya: (Is senpai okay, I wonder)

Kamamoto: Hey, got a minute?

Saya: Umh. What's wrong, Kamamoto-kun?

Kamamoto: At the enterance. Totsuka-san is calling for you.

Saya: Senpai?...

Kamamoto: Totsuka-san, I've called her.

Totsuka: Thank you, Kamamoto. Hello, Konohana-san.

Saya: Hi. How is you condition, senpai?

Totsuka: Thanks to you, I am full of life. Here, the bath towel I borrowed. I washed it, so I'm returning it.

Saya: Thank you. Sorry for all the trouble.

Totsuka: Un-uh. I'm the one who should thank you. But that's not the only thing I have to do.

Kamamoto: Condition...This towel..Um...What’s kind of relationship between you two?

Saya: What do you mean?

Kamamoto: Is this...Hey, Totsuka-san?

Totsuka: Haha. I'm sorry I gave you the wrong idea, but we don't have a special relationship.

Totsuka: Yesterday the sheep bumped into me. So in order to stop the blood she lend me a towel.

Kamamoto: Sheep? Did you go to a ranch?

Totsuka: No, we bumped into each other at school. Well, to be exact, I got head-butted with a thump.

Kamamoto: Are you serious?!! At school?? Head butted!?

Kamamoto: Ah, could it be... what Yata-san was talking about yesterday?

Totsuka: Kamamoto...Your're too loud..She might be scared.

Kamamoto: Hehe...Sorry.

Saya: Yata-san was around there too?

Kamamoto: Anyway, yesterday evening he saw Anna-sensei riding a goat or something like that.

Saya: A goat? Not sheep?

Totsuka: Maybe he mistook it for something else because it's white?

Saya: Ah, I see!

Saya: Anna-sensei was managed to catch it somehow.

Totsuka: Kusanagi-san must have been very disappointed. Maybe we should ask him about that later.

Totsuka: Kamamoto, where's Yata?

Kamamoto: Yata-san on a garbage duty today. I'm sure he'll be back soon.

Totsuka: Well, tell him to come to the school enterence later. You and Kamamoto should come too, of course.

Saya: Okay. But, what about club activity? Don't we need to show up in the clubroom?

Totsuka: It's fine, it's fine. Because this is going to be today's place of activity.

Saya: (Place of activity...?)

Saya: Place of activity...I wonder if it's here.

Kusanagi: Newbie-chan, this way!

Saya: Kusanagi-san.

Kusanagi: So you were able to come here alone this time? That's great.

Saya: Yeah, I'm glad to made it here safely.

Saya: I heard from Totsuka-san earlier that there's a club activity here today, is it true?

Kusanagi: That's right. You need to go outside to get some fresh air and exercise once in a while. As for Mikoto...

Mikoto: Zzzzz...

Kusanigi: He's sleeping peacefully on the lawn as you can see...

Saya: The weather is really nice today.

Saya: The sky is blue and the cherryblossom looks beautiful.

Kusanigi: Exactly. It's a perfect day for Hanami (cherry blossom festival), isn't it? In other words, today's club activity is cherry blossom viewing.

Saya: Activity is cherry blossom viewing? It's unusual....

Kusanigi: What, you don't like it?

Saya: No, quite the opposite! I'm really looking forward to it!

Yata: Kusanagi-san, sorry for being late!

Kusanigi: I don't care. The secretary hasn't come yet.

Saya: Secretary?

Totsuka: Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting~!

Saya: Senpai. That's a big package.

Totsuka: Un-huh. I was thinking of feeding everyone, so I made a lot of food.

Totsuka: I was a little excited about Hanami last night.

Yata: No-no, you were way too hyped about it.

Totsuka: Eh, I don't think it's that much. We have a new member, is it not enough?

Kusanigi: Well, as far as we have Kamamoto around, I'm sure he'll take good care of it, so that's fine...

Kusanigi: Totsuka, you've found another outstanding hobby again, haven't you?

Totsuka: Making Dango (Japanese dumplings) is fun. It's like playing with clay. You should try it too, Kusanagi-san.

Kusanigi: Pa-a-ass. I'll just specialize in eating them.

Totsuka: Is that so? Very bad. Well, may be I should try to persuade that girl then?

Saya: Me?

Totsuka: Yeah. Are you interesting in making dumplings?

Saya: Dumplings?

Totsuka: Yeah. Even if it's called a dumpling there are various types. Today I brought Hanami dango. And then there're also...

Totsuka: Kibi dango, Morokoshi dango, Sasa dango, Mitarashi dango. And this is only half that came to my mind.

Totsuka: Its traditional culture originates from ancient times and has been inherieted to nowadays. When you think about it, there's something deep about Dango, right?

Saya: Um...Right...

Totsuka: You got it? It would not be an exaggeration to say that dango goes down the same path as the tea ceremony, kendo, judo and so on.

Kusanagi: Quit exaggerating, you idiot. Don't say random stuff. You too, don't take him seriously.

Saya: O-okay.

Totsuka: Haha. Kusanagi-san, you're no fuuun.

Yata: Totsuka-san! Can I have that dango?

Totsuka: Un-huh. Of course. Eat as much as you want.

Kamamoto: All right! I'm gonna eat my fill!

Totsuka: Uhm. I've got plenty of seconds. You too, don't hold back. Eat a lot, okay?

Saya: Okay!

Saya: Oh...Delicious!

Totsuka: Really? What a relief.

Saya: Totsuka-senpai, is making dango your hobby?

Totsuka: Hmm...For now, yes, I think.

Saya: For now?

Totsuka: I'm a so-called "multi-hobbyist". Now it's this, next time it's that. I'm into all sorts of things...

Totsuka: Making dango is one of them. Suddenly I just somehow got hooked on it.

Saya: Somehow I can't belive it turned out this good so far. You're very skilful, senpai.

Totsuka: Haha. Thanks.

Kusanigi: Totsuka is skilful with his hands.

Saya: Ah, Kusanagi-san, there's something I wanted to ask you.

Kusanigi: You can ask me anything.

Saya: I heard Anna-sensei caught that sheep yesterday, is it true?

Kusanigi: It's not like that. I almost cornered it, planning to burn, but Anna-chan-sensei conveiced me not to. I couldn't get my hands on the precious mutton.

Totsuka: Aside from Kusanagi-san, it's unusual that even King has given up.

Kusanigi: I mean, our opponent is Anna-chan-sensei, right? No matter what you do, you can't win.

Saya: What Anna-sensei did with the sheep, I wonder.

Anna: ...I returned it to the village.

Saya: Anna-sensei.

Anna: Back to where it should be. After patting it head, I sent it home.

Kusanigi: You should have just eaten it.

Anna: Izumo.

Kusanigi: I-I'm just kidding. Don't take it serious.

Anna: ...Even though you were chasing it so seriously. Tatara, do you have a red dango?

Totsuka: I have. Special Kimuchi dango! Here, enjoy it with tea.

Anna: Thank you. ...Oh, what a lovely weather.

Anna: ...

Saya: Anna-sensei, what's wrong?

Anna: Welcome to the Red сlub.

Saya: Eh?

Totsuka: Oh, it's a little late to say this.

Anna: I knew you had joined the club, but I couldn't say it to you in person.

Anna: I'm not usually come to the clubroom, so let me know if you'll need anything.

Saya: Okay! Thank you very much!

Totsuka: Don't worry, sensei. If something happen, I'll take care about it.

Anna: Tatara is dependable but I can’t rely on him.

Totsuka: Eeeeh, how’s that?

Anna: I trust you. But you also make me worry.

Anna: From now on I'm looking forward to working with you. And with you as well, Tatara.

Saya: Y-yes! Please treat me well!

Okay , Let’s Go , Then !

(Toorie somehow grabs Mondo’s hand unknowingly, and Mondo just… stares at her plume holding his hand.)

TOORIE I THOGHT WE WERE TAKING A WALK

We Were ?

UH YEAH

I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU SLOWED THE FUCK DOWN

Oh , Sorry , Haha !

(Toorie slows down to a walking pace, a very exasperated Mondo trailing behind her.)

So , I Saw Something Cool A While Ago , And I Just Wanted To Show It To You ! Sorry For Rushing Though , It Really Excited Me , Haha .

alright

my fucking legs

Hm ?

(Toorie and Mondo stumble across… what looks like a golden magnifying glass with its lens tinted green. It is unusually large.)

holy shit

I Know , Right ?! We Should Go Get Sprigg For This !

May I ask , what are you two doing ?

(The duo turns around to face the Kayna with a red bag.)

Oh , Hi , Mauna !! We Were Just Looking At This … Thing !

(Toorie points at the giant magnifying glass thing, whatever the fucking FUCK it is.)

No Idea What It Is , Though …

Hm … looks like a part of what used to be the Observatory on the legendary Starhenge .

Wait , What ?!

huh

How Did It Get Here ?!

I do not know , but it seems to have been untouched .

untouched?! but it looks like-

Flitz ?! How Did You Get Here ??

(Everyone turns to face Flitz the Tweedle, who has blue head feathers instead of red.)

oh. I just overheard you three having a conversation, sorry! I couldn’t help it. also, who’s the volcano lady?

(Flitz points a wing towards Mauna.)

Me ? Oh , my full name is Mauna Maayaun , as some may say … I am not very sure if that is my true name , though .

But you can simply call me Mauna ! I am friends with Toorie , Sprigg , and Mondo . I have joined them on their ventures across the Monster World . It is a pleasure to meet you !

(Mauna shakes Flitz’s wing.)

i hope you don’t mind me butting in, mauna! it’s just a thing tweedles do, for some reason… we tend to be social butterflies.

anyways, what in the name of attmoz is that over there??

a thing from the dawn of fire i guess

th-

the dawn of fire?! that was EONS ago!! how-

what?? huh???

(Flitz scratches their head.)

I will go and take it to Sprigg . I do not remember much about the Dawn of Fire as I used to , but they are quite knowledgable about it ! It is an interest of theirs .

can we come with you? this honestly sounds interesting.

Sure , why not ?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I absolutely loved the first part of Waking up in Percy Jackson. I love the fact that you made Zagreus a supportive and loving parent and the fact that MC is living with him. That MC cannot resist giving Cerb affection (like father, like child) and that Cerb knew straight away who MC was. Like he just went must protect and love small child, here have a pomegranate. 💕💖🐕 And the ending where MC meets their grandmother and everything clicked into place. "Oh shit" had me giggling, like MC your journey has just begun. Very excited to see how this family gathering goes and how MC gets to Camp Half Blood. I know you've said there's going to be a wait for the next parts, buts that's okay the wait will be worth it. 💕💯😊

This is going in my journal.

This is so sweet!!! I’m glad you liked it, your comments always make my day!!!

There’s a lot going on with this premise, part of it is that I’m planting the seeds for a conversation about privilege and how it can be used to better everyone’s lives, but also how in an idea world there would be equity and equality.

A big part of that was “well what god would drop everything because they fell in love with a mortal.” And the only answer was Hades and Zagreus so here we are lmao.

There’s also a lot more going on behind the scenes with that pomegranate/Cereberus haha

Nothing malicious, just cute really

hi!! 💫what is your favorite kind of comment/feedback? 💞what’s the most important part of a story for you? 💌share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited! 🥰

Hi!! Ah bless you for including the asks along with the emojis!

💫what is your favorite kind of comment/feedback? Honestly they all make me so happy! I got one once that was literally just "Ahhhhhhhh (complimentary)" and it absolutely made my day. Just knowing that the reader enjoyed the piece enough to leave a comment still floors me regularly.

But one thing I've realized I really enjoy is when the comments reference specific things throughout that stood out to them. It's almost like getting to read along with them and see how the piece landed and it's so fascinating! (You actually do this in a lot of your comments which is how I realized what fun it is, haha!)

It's been illuminating to be on the receiving end of comments (I'm quite new to publishing what I've written) and realizing how much any comment at all is so encouraging. I was always hesitant to comment before as a reader because I thought I needed some really good analysis or insight. But even the simplest notes bring so much joy.

Sorry, this turned into me just gushing about comments, ha!

💞what’s the most important part of a story for you? Hmm, a tie between worldbuilding and characterization. Those hinge together in my mind, so that's probably why I'm pairing them. If those two things are in place, the rest of the story just seems to come together almost on its own, because if these feel like real flesh-and-blood persons I can set in a context, then they'll act in the way that seems natural and the scene will form in front of me. Which sometimes has very unexpected results lol

💌share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited! There is a conversation between Finrod and Balan (Bëor) in Part 9 that I'm really enjoying. (This was originally supposed to be the next installment, but another scene butted its way in and now I need to get that one out of the way first.) The context for the conversation is "But when after a year had passed Felagund wished to return to his own country, Bëor begged leave to come with him." We're going to lean heavily on the "begged" in "begged leave" and Balan will have some convincing ahead of him. I shared a line from it in this WIP guessing game answer and I'm really looking forward to sharing the whole thing.

---

Thanks so much for the asks!

domestic shiratorizawa

⊹summary; the life inside the dorms of shiratorizawa

⊹pilots; gn![y/n], ushijima, tendou, semi, yamagata, reon, kawanishi, shirabu, goshiki (pairings showed; yamagata x reader, goshiki x reader)

⊹genre; fluff, crack and some cursings (no proofread)

⊹flight details; i've once made a domestic imagines in my old blog so imma make a small reboot of it <3

random shopping

normal day, normal life. you could've seen yourself laying or even napping in your room while a compilation of minecraft songs plays in the background. but no. instead, you're inside an antique shop with Yamagata, Ushijima and Tendou.

you have no idea when, or how did the process happened but you surely is done with getting dragged inside the shop by Tendou and Yamagata.

while Ushijima's stuck on a section, you don't know where, but he's definitely stuck there, "[y/n]! look at what i found,"

Yamagata called you as you turned around to see him holding up a pretty heavy doll. you raise your brow, "what the hell is that?" walking towards him and taking a closer look at the object in hand,

"i think it's a, um, i think a matryoska doll? matroyska? is that how you say it?" "why're you asking me, i don't know jack shit about russian stuff,"

"ah you mean, matryoshka doll?" Tendou butted in, startling you two, "it's also called a 'nesting doll' and did you actually know that it was actually originated from china?"

Yamagata's eyes practically sparkled at that with a surprised look, "from china? really?"

you can only roll your eyes, "and how can you even know all that?" Tendou snickered and put on a smug face, "i'm actually very smart, y'know. ya'll just don't know about it," "says the person in class 2,"

"i blame the mathematic old hags for adding letters in math, and the apple that fucking hit my man Isaac," you tsk'ed and walk towards the next section. Yamagata passive aggressively put the matryoshka doll down and follow after you along with Tendou,

"also, we need to find ushijima, i think he's stuck in some section between here...ah there," you stopped walking and turn to your right where you find Ushijima reading a book.

Tendou skipped towards him and smack his shoulder, "you okay, wakatoshi-kun? you sure did took longer to look at the stuff here," while Tendou chats with Ushijima, Yamagata look up at the shelves as something caught his eyes.

he tried to reach it while tip toing but due to his height, he can't reach it. then, he jumped from his spot to grab the object but end up hitting his head onto the board, "AGH, FUCK!" which causes you all to look at him, watching him hold his head while shivering from the pain,

"are you okay, yamagata?" ushijima ask, putting back the book on the shelves, "yeah, yeah, i'm just tryna get that," he shakes his head before pointing up.

you followed his finger and caught a glimpse of an old polaroid. it's a little bit dusty but other than that, it looks new. Ushijima reached it from his spot and managed to grab it, "here,"

he hands it to Yamagata as he instantly recovered from his recent pain and snatch it from Ushijima's hand, subtly thanking him with a grin, "why do you even need a polaroid?" Tendou asked, leaning his arm over Ushijima's shoulder with one brow up,

"pfft, for journaling of course,"

a gust of wind went through you while staring at him with a poker face, the same with Tendou with a small cat like smile. Ushijima just looked the same,

"okay," "WHAT'S WITH THE TONE??" you blinked and just knit your eyebrows, "i mean, since when you started journaling? you're not even the type of person to do something aesthetic,"

he pouted and just crosses his arms, "so what? that doesn't mean i can't do it, right? have faith in me god darn it. and honestly, my journal looks good so far," "well, fine,"

you waved your hand at him and continue going through the other section. and just like that, "hey wait!" Yamagata tailed after you.

Tendou snickered at the two and focus back on Ushijima, who's still watching the display yet again, "have you thought of what to buy wakatoshi-kun?" "i'm not sure, there's a lot of interesting stuff here," "well, you've only been in this section but okay~"

studying

"agh, why did those idiots really have to call me at this time...?"

you groaned, slowly walking through the halls with a slouched figure. tracing your fingers along the wall with a dejected look. you're suppose to sleep today.

an hour or two long sleep. it's finally the weekend which means the time for you to sleep all of your problems away. drifting into slumber with fluffy pillows and warm blankets, enjoying your dream as long as you can.

until your ringtone annoyingly rings next to your ear. you answer the call, and again greeted by the most annoying human in the planet,

"[y/n], we need you at the gym right now!"

"huh? oh fuck off Tendou, i need to sleep right now,"

"nuh uh, you can sleep later after you go to the gym,"

"why? are you, i don't know, practicing or something?"

"you have to find out. if you don't move your ass from that bed, we'll send Hayato to wake you up~"

". . ."

and now, you find yourself standing in front of the door of shiratorizawa's volleyball gym. not only that Tendou wakes you up from your sleep, you also had to WALK all the way from your dorm to the gym,

"i'm gonna add more time to their practices after this..."

sliding the door open, you expect them to be doing serves or maybe spikes.

but instead, you're seeing them—as in the 3rd years—all sitting down at the middle of the court, with books around them.

and what's even more confusing is that they somehow managed to bring a table inside. no, not the flip-able table.

literally a whole ass table.

Reon looks up from his book and notices your figure standing on the door way. he waves his hand at you, you did the same but still with a confused look.

Yamagata was next to see you as he abruptly stand up from his spot, shaking the table in the process,

"Hayato! stop shaking the table," "oops, sorry. ah, wait, [y/n]!"

that caught all of the boys attention as they look at you, "what taking you so long to arrive?" Tendou asked, a pen rested in between his upper lip and nose.

Semi smacked him in the face—earning an 'ow'—before shaking his head,

"their dorm is literally far from the gym, and why do you even proposed your idea of studying at the gym anyway?"

you make your way towards them, Reon patting the empty spot next to him. you sat down on your spot as Yamagata did the same. seemed like he was waiting for you.

Tendou rubbed his nose and pouted at Semi, "this was the best place to study anyway! it have much more room,"

"we should've gone to the cafeteria OR the LIBRARY," Semi groaned, looking back at his book before writing on it,

"pfft, the cafeteria's no fun. and i got banned from the library," Reon looks at Tendou with confusion, "well, it's not surprising,"

Tendou shrugged, "i was also banned from the library," Ushijima said, not looking up from his notes as you knit your eyebrows at that,

"you're also banned from the library? Satori, what did you and Ushijima did—" "anyways, um,"

he cut you off, fidgeting with his pen before pointing it at you, "right, you need to tutor us on this subject~!"

you blinked, looking down at the book they're studying about, "haven't the teacher covered this already?"

"well, i'm sorry, class 6. but we have no idea how this thing works. maybe only Reon, but look at Semi,"

Tendou wrapped his arm around Semi's neck, practically head locking him, "he's from class 1 and i think you should teach him about this the most," "I'll rip your fucking head off, Tendou!"

while both of them tried to strangle each other, Yamagata caught your attention next,

"and also, it won't be fun without you, y'know," Reon nodded, "and don't forget that you can't leave me alone in this,"

"oh right," "hm? what was that?" Yamagata asked. you just shake your head with a defeated smile, "nothing..."

after clearing your throat, you snatched Semi's book away before flipping through the pages,

"okay you scumbags, it's time to learn,"

oblivious enough

the birds chirped from the tree, the hallway's as loud as ever. Semi and Tendou's leaning against the window, each of them drinking apple juice and eating yakisoba bread.

it was silence between them before Semi spoke, "hey, Tendou," "yes Semi-Semi?" "y'know,"

Semi turned his head to look at Tendou as the redhead did the same, "have you, noticed the relationship between [y/n] and Yamagata lately?"

the latter made a thinking face, before nodding, "hm, seems so,"

"do you think, either one of them ever noticed about it?" Tendou shakes his head at the question, "nope, i don't think they do. in fact, they might be completely oblivious to it,"

Semi snickered, "right, like that one time..."

"[y/n], do you think my lips are dry right now?"

you look up from your clipboard, seeing Yamagata pointing his lips, "hm, nah. they're fine, but if you want, i can but on some lip balm,"

his eyes sparkled at that as he nodded his head with excitement, "sure!" you walk towards your bag with Yamagata following you. opening the zipper and search inside it, you pull out your lip balm,

"here, hold still," you put a hand on his cheek while the other applies lip balm onto his lips. it was a slow process but he managed to not move at all while making eye contact with you.

once you finished applying, he pop his lips before humming, "mn, cherry," "let me know if you need anything else,"

he nodded with now flushed cheeks as he smile at you. you did the same, gently patting his arm.

from a distance, Shirabu looks at them with a disgusted look, "ugh, can't they be more subtle about it,"

Kawanishi shrugged, "just let them be,"

"how can i redo my memory? i don't need to see that this early," "well, what if it was us?" "i would be twice as grossed, i can put my own lip balm," "hm yeah, you're right, i honestly would be like that too," "good,"

"haha yeah, now that i think about it, they do it all the time right?" Tendou nodded at Semi's statement before hearing the all too familiar voice just a few meters away from them,

"[y/n]!"

you turned your head around while still sipping your drink. Yamagata stood in front of you, holding out his visibly crumpled necktie with a small smile,

"my necktie!" "ah again? whatever," you give your drink to him as he hold it for you.

grabbing the necktie from his hand, looping it around his collar shirt and started tying it with a concentrated look,

"i can't say that it'll be clean when i finished tying it," "it's okay! that's why i'm asking you to do it, messy or not, at least i have it on," "hm, yeah,"

after you finished tying it and patting it a little, Yamagata hugged you, "thank you!" "yeah, you're welcome,"

the aura literally radiates on the slightly crowded hallway as some of the students who passed you talked among themselves.

Semi and Tendou stared at you two, expressionless eyes but with a small smile,

'ah, right,'

Tendou sighed, intertwining his fingers together and lifting it up to his cheeks, "ah, young love~"

"we're all the same age,"

"young love~"

bonus; reliable kouhai

lifeless.

is what goshiki would say when he took a few glances at you from his book. you promised to tutor him about this subject he's struggling on. but didn't really expect to see your slouched form walking inside the library.

he's not even sure if you even hear anything you're saying right now, "get a shovel and two-" your head hit the table, creating a loud sound and catching the attention of almost everyone inside the library,

"[y/n]-senpai, um, are you okay??" you groaned and rapidly blink your eyes, covering your forehead, "yeah, 'm just..."

a yawn escaped from your mouth before you can even finish your sentence, "...tired. those stupid senpais of yours need help tutoring too even tho being grown ass men,"

goshiki closes his book and creating a small 'thump', snapping you out from your mind,

"well, if that so then you didn't have to come, you could've just tell me and i would be fine with it!" your hoarse laugh caught him off guard as a shade of red ran across his cheeks, "i can't break a promise, tsutomu. why do you even think i agree on tutoring you?"

"uh, cause you want to help me with my studies?" "one of it, and cause i enjoy tutoring you," he can feel his cheeks heating up more when you made eye contact with him, a small smile laced upon your face,

"and honestly, you're smarter than i thought. class 4 right? that's cool," he looked away, trying to calm his nerves down, "t-thanks! a lot of people thought i was in a lower class, so i, i appreciate it,"

goshiki took a peek at you, now burying your face onto your face, "also, senpai," "hm?"

"you should take a nap for now, i think i can start understanding this formula," you slightly look up at him, "you sure? i was prolly talking craps just now," "yeah! your health is more important anyway,"

you hum, offering him a warm smile, "thanks, i know i can count on you," you rested onto your side and close your eyes. lips slightly parted and just like that, you're deep in your dreams.

he pursed his lips, slowly leaning against the table to look at your face. it's calm, peaceful and beautiful, kissable lips. he wonder if he could lean in a little closer until you two-

goshiki instantly jolted up and hit himself on the head, face's covered in the color red, 'no! don't think about that, curse you Tendou-San for introducing me to those mangas...'

Tendou's faces ran across his mind as he grunted,

'why're they so pretty??'

title: borrowed time (chapter 7/8)

ship: goldenlight (luz x hunter)

notes: Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Part Five Part Six

summary: When opportunity knocks, Luz never fails to answer. What she doesn’t anticipate is that Hunter ends up along for the ride.

total fic word count: ~52k

Luz startled at the voice, turning to look. Camila called out,

"We're in the kitchen, sweetheart."

From the hallway, a face appeared, peeking into the room. The girl let out a surprised sound.

"Oh! You're already here. U-um . . . h-hello, Luz . . ."

Luz got up from the table and approached the timid girl. She wasn't what Luz had expected-- her face was unfamiliar, although somehow it also seemed familiar at the same time. She had Luz's button nose and skin color, but a rounder face and longer hair pulled into a ponytail, with a shy smile and a wary look in her hazel-green eyes.

". . . Vee?"

The girl nodded. Luz beamed at her.

"Hey! Love what you did with yourself, girl, looking great! It's so exciting to finally meet you in person."

Vee nodded, glancing over to Camila, as if seeking some emotional reassurance. At Camila's kind smile, she spoke again.

"Y-yeah, umm, I . . . I decided a while back to choose a different form, so I didn't look exactly like you. But I kept some things kind of similar, because I, um . . . I s-sort of felt like you were kind of almost like my sister, in some ways?"

Vee seemed very nervous about Luz's response to that, but Luz's eyes widened and she answered with glee,

"R-really?! That's so sweet, oh my gosh, I have a sister now!!"

She launched at Vee and hugged her, laughing happily. The girl was a little overwhelmed at Luz's zeal but answered,

"I-I'm glad you don't mind."

Luz grinned at her.

"Are you kidding? This is great! We can have sister bonding activities or whatever! What do sisters do, hmm, let's see, paint each other's nails, gossip about cute girls and guys, go commit petty larceny together . . .?"

Camila gave them a concerned look.

"Oh, uh, hm, I might have picked that one up from Eda, nevermind."

Camila cleared her throat and politely butted in,

"Actually, one of the things I've talked about with Vee recently was about her future. We talked about the possibility of adoption . . . if you were okay with it Luz, of course. And if that's still something Vee wants in the future."

Luz answered enthusiastically,

"Yes!! That would be amazing!"

Camila laughed, patting Luz's shoulder fondly.

"It was just one of many possibilities we discussed, so let's not rush into things for now. But I'm sure Vee is happy for such a warm welcome."

Vee nodded, smiling politely. Camila turned to glance at the clock and said,

"Goodness, it's later then I thought. Everyone is probably ready for dinner. Vee, would you mind helping me set the table? You can go and fetch Hunter, Luz."

"Aye aye," Luz said, saluting, then shuffling out of the kitchen. She found Hunter completely conked out on the couch, using one of the little couch pillows for his head. In the background, the TV was left on and had a soft-spoken, puffy-haired man painting a scenic picture with a lot of trees.

Luz couldn't help but smile at the young witch, who always seemed to be so adorable while sleeping. Her hand automatically went to touch his sleep-tousled hair before she could stop herself, but when he stirred and mumbled, she yelped and pulled away quickly.

He blinked at her blearily, leaning up into a sitting position. Luz said quickly,

"Um, hi! Sorry to wake you up, I just came to tell you that dinner's ready."

He ran a hand through his hair and answered groggily,

"It's ok, thanks."

Something seemed to click in his brain and he looked at her. Voice still groggy, he said,

"Wait, were you . . . touching my hair--"

"--WHAT, NOooo, haha, that's silly, anyway c'mon don't want the soup to get cold!"

She fled the room and bounced back to the kitchen, cringing at herself. God, she was getting worse. She needed to be less transparent.

"Oh, could you grab the napkins, Luz?"

Luz jerked out of her thoughts and moved to help Vee with setting the table.

Before long, they had all sat down for a lovely dinner, which felt delightfully domestic and cozy. Luz asked Vee to tell her all about summer camp, so Vee regaled them with her tales. A great deal of it sounded to Luz about as boring and torturous as she had expected, but Vee also talked a lot about fooling about with her fellow cabin-mates and the silly things they got up to, so it was nice to know she had found some genuine fun. The friends she described sounded like pretty cool people.

When the conversation had reached a lull, Vee shyly asked a question.

"S-so, um, Luz, now that you're back, does that mean you're going to be living here again?"

Luz smiled at her and then looked down nervously, swirling her soup around.

"Wellllll . . . it's a little complicated. At the moment I'm actually hoping to return to the Demon Realm for a bit. There's, uh, sort of a big thing going on with Emperor Belos right now. Like a . . . scheme to imprison or petrify all wild witches and then reshape multiple realms with the power of the Titan?"

Vee stared at her, her expression one of shock. She said,

"Oh."

Luz carried on,

"So, yeah, I want to return so we can put a stop to it. I need to make sure all my friends are safe."

The room fell into awkward silence for a bit. Vee seemed to be deep in thought. When she spoke again, her voice was soft but carried a quiet sort of intensity.

"You're really going back to face against him?"

Luz nodded. She answered her calmly,

"Yeah."

Vee gazed off into nowhere in particular, lost in thought. She seemed to be internally wrestling with something. Eventually, she looked back to Luz and said,

"To be honest, I still don't feel like I understand that much about you, Luz. Even after spending so much time in your shoes. But if you're serious about going back to stop him . . . after all that he's done . . ."

She was shaking a little, but she kept going;

"That . . . that would mean a lot. You must be a very good person."

She glanced away timidly.

"I'm . . . sorry if I misjudged you."

Luz smiled at her gently.

"Hey . . . it's ok. I know you have some mixed feelings about me. I don't blame you at all, I think anyone in your position would. I don't think I could even begin to understand what it's been like for you."

Vee gazed down at the table, expression somber. Luz continued,

"But as different as our lives have been, well. I still hope that one day we can come to understand each other a little better, you know? I'd like that. I'd love to get to know you better."

Vee looked back up at her.

"I-I think I'd like that too."

They smiled at each other, and Luz felt her heart warm. Her mother seemed very happy, and she spoke up.

"Well, now that we've heard Vee tell us about summer camp, maybe Luz could tell us a little more about what she did this summer? Would you be interested in that, Vee?"

Vee smiled at Camila and nodded. Camila said warmly,

"Good, I'd be interested in it too."

Luz grinned and glanced over to Hunter, who had been very quiet for most of the evening.

"You wanna hear about all my shenanigans too?"

He gave her a crooked smile, murmuring,

"I know you'd tell us anyway regardless."

Luz laughed brightly.

"True! Ok, let's see, where should I start . . ."

She ended up fetching her phone so she could show everyone the pictures and video she took in the Demon Realm.

". . . and this little cutie-wootie is named King," Luz said, playing them a video of King dancing in a cheerleader uniform.

"Eda found him wandering lost in an ancient secret castle and took him home with her, and now he's her adopted son!"

"He seems very sweet. Is . . . is the skull a little costume or . . ."

"Nah, that's just how he looks."

"Oh."

Luz flicked through her camera roll.

"Oh, and here's Amity. When I first met her, I was pretending to be Willow's Abomination project but Amity noticed something was fishy and then she tried to have me dissected! Haha, we laugh about that now."

Camila looked a tad concerned.

"Um, dissected?"

Luz waved her hand casually,

"It's fiiiine, we're like besties now and I'm pretty sure she was only half-serious about the dissection thing. Probably."

She rolled over to the next picture.

"And this is Willow! I talked a little about her last night, remember? She's the student I'm working with to combine plant and healing magic. See all this, she's using plant magic to make everything grow super fast!"

Hunter leaned in a little to see.

"Hmm. An entire greenhouse all at once? Impressive."

Luz beamed,

"I know, right? She was already so good at it before she had even moved to the plant track, and now she's pretty much unstoppable!"

As Luz flipped to the next photo, she said,

"This is Gus at a club meeting! There's this club at school he runs called the Human Appreciation Society, because humans are basically cryptids in the Demon Realm and so they're kinda fascinated with them. His latest project for the club is to start celebrating human holidays so I've been telling him all about Halloween so we can plan something. I think it's gonna turn out really fun!"

Vee seemed curious.

"Halloween? I-I don't think I've heard of that before."

Luz gave her an excited look.

"Ooh, I'll have to tell you about it later, it's a human holiday that's coming up next month. With your talents, in fact, it'll be perfect-- you'll definitely have the best Halloween costume."

Vee looked intrigued by this and agreed,

"Okay!"

Luz scrolled to the next shot, which was her friends gathered in the Owl House.

"And this was our first Moonlight Conjuring! That's basically like a slumber party but with some moon magic thrown in. We sorta animated the house by accident later that night and almost got killed by bounty hunters, but it was still a pretty amazing party overall."

"Wait, killed by bounty hunters?"

"Ummm moving right along, hey look, we're at the carnival here, isn't that cool? The Scarreis-Wheel definitely lived up to the hype, I had nightmares for three solid weeks afterwards!"

Hunter eyed the photo critically.

"I doubt any of those rides were up to code, you're lucky all you ended up with were nightmares."

Luz shot him a look, muttering urgently,

"Dude I'm trying not to freak mom out here, c'mon."

"Actually that part doesn't really surprise me, we've been to some pretty sketchy carnivals here too," Camila interjected. Luz smiled nervously and flipped through her pictures again.

"This is when we played Grudgby against the school bully! Her team technically won but we scored the moral victory, which is like, way cooler."

Camila looked relieved.

"Oh, you all look so cute. It's nice to know you had some normal, safe activities too."

"Yeah, exactly! Totally safe."

Luz flipped the picture and frowned as it showed Amity in a leg cast.

"UHH, ignore that, that was just umm, a minor break--"

She changed photos again.

"This was when-- oh wait, uh, nevermind, probably shouldn't mention that--"

She flicked through pictures rapidly, muttering,

"No, no, no . . . man, this is harder then I thought."

She paused on a photo of her on a pirate ship and beamed.

"Heeey, how about this? Pirates are fun! And I look so cute in my pirate outfit!"

They all looked at her picture. Amazed, Camila asked,

"You were on a pirate ship?"

Luz nodded.

"Yeah, sailing the boiling seas for adventure and treasure! Aw, here we all are singing a sea shanty, isn't that wholesome?"

She flipped through and frowned at the blurry, skewed shots of a gold-masked figure within a column of water, glowing with red magic. Flipping quickly, she passed through shots of a furious Selkidomus inflated, throwing its spines every which-way.

"Hold on, what was all that?"

Luz smiled nervously.

"Er, well, this is, uhh, when I first met Hunter! He sort of, um . . ." Luz coughed,

"Threatened to throw us all into the boiling sea and made us fight a Selkidomus, but y'know, people trying to get me killed is kinda how I first meet a lot of my friends!"

Glancing over, she saw that Hunter looked very unwell, almost as if sickened to be reminded of that day. His eyes were fixed away from her. Damn it, this was supposed to be a fun little jaunt through her photo album, and Luz was blowing it.

In a strained, quiet voice, Hunter muttered,

"I'm . . . I never . . . Luz, I'm sorry I . . ."

Luz told him firmly,

"Hey, I was serious, that really is how I've met like half my friends. Eda made me help her infiltrate the Conformatorium in exchange for going back home, the Bat Queen tried to tear my face off, Amity had the principal go after me with a knife, Lilith used me like a meat shield . . ."

Camila didn't look happy with this list at all. Luz pinched the bridge of her nose and said,

"Urgh, my point is, we all do stuff that maybe later on we decide wasn't so great, and that's fine-- what matters is that we learn and grow and whatever. And anyway, it turned out great in the end, we realized the Selkie had a little baby and she was just protecting her young. We told them to leave the Boiling Isles so they could be safe and we got some gold barf as a thank-you!"

He looked up at her warily. In a confused tone, he said,

"I thought . . . you killed it?"

She smiled and admitted,

"Yeeeah, we just sorta pretended we did. You never actually saw the fight directly though, remember?"

He blinked at her.

"Oh."

After an awkward silence, Luz started desperately flicking through her photos again.

"Look, I swear I have some pictures in here that don't make it seem like every single day I was on the brink of some horrible death--"

"Luz," Camila said.

"Just give me a minute, I know I'll find something--"

"Luz. It's ok."

Luz looked up at her mom. Camila sighed and told her with a fond smile,

"I'm not going to pretend I'm okay with how dangerous it's been for you, because I'm not. I'm going to worry no matter what. But I also see how deeply you love all of this."

She glanced between her, Vee and Hunter, adding,

"And I see that you've made some truly wonderful friends."

Hunter glanced away, embarrassed, and Vee blushed. Luz got misty-eyed.

"Aaawwh. Thank you, mom!"

Despite her mom's reassurance, she was still scrolling through her phone, trying to find pictures to share. Suddenly, she grinned.

"Hey, you guys wanna see an adorable picture of Hunter?"

A look of raw panic flashed in his eyes.

"LUZ--"

Fortunately for Hunter, Luz was only making an empty bluff and did not share that particular photo. She did continue to share other photos, though, and spent a little more time telling everyone stories about the Boiling Isles. When they'd finished with dinner, they all spent some time watching TV, a nature documentary in particular. Luz enjoyed getting the chance to talk to Vee a little more and just relax and unwind.

The evening seemed to fly by quickly. Soon she was already saying goodbye to Vee for the night and everyone was getting ready for bed. By the time she'd showered and brushed her teeth, the hour had grown quite late and the business of the day was finally catching up to her, making her feel comfortably worn-out.

Hunter was already in her room, reclined across the bottom bunk and reading a book, Rascal perched on his shoulder. Luz leaned in to read the cover and realized it was one of her school textbooks. Wow. What a giant nerd. She grinned.

He belatedly noticed her standing there, startling a little.

"Oh, hey."

"Hey. Enjoying highschool World History?"

He pondered the text a moment and answered seriously,

"The author seems to focus excessively on politics and war to the exclusion of almost all social and cultural history, so it's a little dry and uninformative."

Luz blinked at him.

"Huh . . . now I don't feel so bad about finding it boring."

"Oh, yeah, it's not just you."

He set the book aside, and for a few moments, there was an awkward silence. Petting his palisman, Hunter broke the quiet and asked,

"So . . . you seem to be getting along better with your mom?"

Luz nodded, answering cheerfully,

"Yeah! We finally had a big talk and worked things out. I think she's even gonna be ok with me returning to the Demon Realm. She just needs a little time to adjust to the idea."

Luz sat down on her chair, adding,

"She still was pretty bummed out she had to work today and miss spending time with me, so that's why we planned out tomorrow so we could have a little more quality time together. I think after that, she'll probably be more open to the idea of having to say goodbye again."

Hunter was still petting Rascal, not looking at her. After a pause, he asked quietly,

"So we may be able to leave as soon as tomorrow night?"

Luz studied him, trying to gauge his mood. She answered awkwardly,

"Um, well, I guess so, yeah."

He nodded.

"All right. I'll draw out the route I'm planning to take so you know exactly what we're doing. I'll include backup routes as well."

"Oh. Okay, that sounds good."

The room fell quiet. Hunter seemed tense and solemn, listlessly fluffing Rascal's crest, still not looking up. Cautiously, Luz asked,

"Hey, are you ok? You've seemed kinda down since we left the mall."

He looked caught out at her mention of the mall. Turning away, he remained silent for a while. Eventually, he muttered an answer, his voice coarse.

"Yeah. I'm fine. You just . . ."

He sighed. Softly, he confessed,

"You just made me forget for a while. About what I have to return to."

Luz felt her heart ache. Once again, she tried to persuade him, speaking gently;

"Hunter, you don't have to return to the way things were--"

He interrupted quietly,

"--Luz. Please. I don't want to talk about it."

She sighed, frustrated, but unable to argue with any heat when he looked so miserable. What did Belos do to him to destroy his hope so thoroughly? She was going to kick that guy's ass.

She knew she was starting to reach Hunter. If only she had a little more time. Maybe then she could convince him. Maybe . . . ugh.

Luz's eye fell upon the Azura book left on her desk, the light glyph sticking out as a bookmark. She picked up the book. Maybe at least she could chase away the miserable look from Hunter's face for just a little while? At least that would be something.

She got up and approached him, sitting on the foot of the bottom bunk; he looked at her warily. She said,

"Well, here's the thing-- all that stuff isn't happening right this moment. That's happening tomorrow or maybe even later. We still have tonight."

He seemed mildly confused. She lifted up the book to show him and gave him a little smile.

"So, uh, you wanna screw around a little more until then?"

He stared for a few moments, processing what she said.

Then, a dry laugh escaped him, almost as if it was involuntary. He shook his head.

"We're teetering on the brink of chaos and you really wanna spend the night reading your silly novel?"

Luz might have felt offended if it weren't for the fact that he was clearly fighting to keep a smile off his face. She leaned in, giving him her most appeasing look.

"It'll be fun, the next part's really good, I promise."

He hesitated for several moments before releasing a sigh.

". . . fine. But no acting out the scenes or yelling this time. I doubt you want to wake your mom up."

Luz felt a bit of disappointment, but she had to admit that made sense.

"Ok, ok. You still can read Malin's lines though."

Luz gave Hunter the book and she decided she'd look up a digital copy on her phone, just to make it easier to read. While she did essentially know the story from memory, it was late and she was pretty exhausted and didn't feel like the extra work. After dimming the lights except for the little lamp she used as a book light, she returned to sit on the foot of the bottom bunk, while Hunter was propped against the headboard on the opposite side of the mattress. Eagerly, she began to read where they'd left off. The story had Azura and Malin traveling together and learning they needed to find three sacred gemstones that would power up Azura's Ethereal staff and make it possible for her to defeat the cruel King Wrathmore. The story was engaging and nicely paced at this point, so it was easy to get into. Luz noticed the tension melted away from Hunter quickly, as he clearly enjoyed reading with her. As time passed, both of them grew drowsier, but neither one felt like quitting, so they continued to read.

"You know, when I agreed to come along for this excursion, I didn't realize that we'd be spending quite so much time hanging around bogs."

Looking at her softly-glowing cell phone, Luz read,

"Are you complaining? Nobody's making you come along, you know-- I'm perfectly capable of doing this on my own."

Hunter had sunk down a fair bit in bed at this point, still propped against the wall with a pillow but draped out very casually. He read his lines in a murmur that was growing progressively more gravelly in his drowsy state.

"Mmm, no, I'm still happy to join you. I couldn't bear the thought of some bog beast devouring such a fair and lovely witch like you."

Luz scoffed, returning,

"Hah, as if that would happen! I'm far more familiar with the Brimstone Bogs than you are."

"You claim that, Lady Azura, and yet you've lost your footing four times by now. I rather think you'd have ended up eating mud if I hadn't caught you that last time."

Luz faked a glare at him.

"The only reason I keep tripping is because I have to keep looking after you! You have been traipsing about like a fool, even though I warned you about the giant bog toads that live here."

"Yes, yes, bog toads-- you worry an awful lot over such trifling things."

"They are not trifles! One lick from their tongue can leave you paralyzed for an hour. I've half a mind to let them lick you if they find you."

Hunter chuckled.

"You wouldn't, my Lady; you are far too fond of me."

"'Fond'? Malin, I barely even tolerate you."

Hunter raised a brow and smiled at her from behind his book, murmuring lazily,

"There's no need to be coy; I see the way your breath quickens in my presence."

Luz quickly glanced away, clearing her throat. She read her line,

"It quickens because I am barely restraining the urge to pummel you."

His smile grew to a smirk and he continued to murmur,

"As you say, Lady Luz. Shall we continue walking?"

Luz skimmed her next line and said,

"Yes, we need to-- uhh, wait, did . . ." She laughed nervously and said,

"I think you meant 'Lady Azura?'"

She could see him mentally replaying what he'd said, looking surprised.

"R-right, sorry. Azura."

Luz squashed down her silly little grin and read,

"We need to hurry before we lose daylight."

Next was some narration that Luz read, describing how the pair of travelers came across an old, decrepit well half-submerged in the bog. The well was actually a secret entrance to one of Hecate’s dungeons, which was the location of the first sacred gemstone they needed. Although Malin wasn’t thrilled with how rickety the old well was, they both climbed the rope down, down, deep into the earth. When they both reached the bottom, they found themselves in a dark, dingy room with stone floors and walls. The air was cool and bog water leaked through cracks in the stone bricks. Azura used her staff to cast a light into the gloom.

Hunter blinked sleepily at the book in his hands and read his next lines.

“So we’ve gone from exploring bogs to climbing into wells so that we might wander aimlessly in the black. You certainly like to keep things interesting, my Lady.”

Luz answered wryly,

“I can’t help but feel as though you’re complaining again, Malin.”

He placed a hand to his chest and replied in a sweet voice,

“Not at all. Every moment spent in your presence is a pleasure.”

Luz couldn’t help smiling, feeling tickled that he was still putting some effort into acting. She read her next lines with the appropriate amount of sass.

“Well, if you want to keep enjoying the pleasure of my presence, I suggest sticking close. There are bloodwidow webs spun all over the walls and ceiling here, and you do not want to mess with those. One wrong step and you’ll end up a bite-sized snack.”

Hunter nodded.

“Yes, of course, as you say.”

“Now, it’s very dark down here and it’ll probably be very easy to get lost, so I’m going to leave a trail of magic lights behind me as we travel. That way we can keep track of where we’ve been. We’ll also need to map things out as we move along. It’s likely that this place is intentionally confusing. We . . . Malin.”

“Hmm?”

“You’re not even listening to me.”

Hunter protested,

“Of course I am!”

Luz gave him a skeptical look.

“Ok, then what did I tell you just now?”

Hunter glanced down at his book and murmured,

“Mmmnn, don’t get lost, stay close to you, make sure you don’t get too confused . . .”

Luz objected,

“That’s not what I said!”

Hunter gave her an apologetic smile.

“Forgive me, my Lady. I must confess I was momentarily distracted by your radiant beauty.”

“Malin—”

Hunter gazed at her from over the top of his book, interrupting in a mischievous voice;

“You have stunning eyes, you know. They’re the loveliest shade of auburn I’ve ever seen.”

Luz opened her mouth to reply but as she processed the words, her brain suddenly halted. She felt her face warm and she stammered,

“Uuhm, w-well, Azura’s eyes are blue, actually . . .”

He stared at her a moment and then looked back down at his book. He quickly sputtered,

“OH UH, right, blue! I meant blue! Of course.”

Luz giggled as he attempted to regain his composure. She said,

"It's an easy mistake."

He nodded, clearing his throat and agreeing seriously,

"Yeah, easy mistake."

Luz looked back down at her phone, smiling and reading her lines.

"If you don't stop fooling around, Malin, I really am going to leave you to get eaten by something. Here, take this and draw a map while we explore. I'll take the lead."

Seemingly recovered from his slip-up, Hunter read from his book,

"I couldn't possibly allow you to take the lead in such a dreadful place."

"Who has the Ethereal staff here, Malin?"

"You seem to forget I am armed with my own weapon."

Luz gestured at him, as if she could see his weapon.

"That sword? It's not going to do much against a bloodwidow's hide."

He replied smoothly,

"You underestimate my combat prowess, Lady Luz."

She struggled to keep from giggling and corrected,

"Azura."

He waved a dismissive hand and answered almost casually,

"Yeah, Azura, of course."

Luz bit her lower lip, grinning and saying,

"Ok I think you're doing it on purpose now."

He replied with a convincing deadpan,

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Still smiling, Luz read her next line off her phone,

"Look, I need you to quit arguing with me and just cooperate!"

Luz looked at him expectantly, waiting, but he said nothing more. Finally, he asked in an amused tone,

"Why are you looking at me? It's still your turn."

She glanced down at her phone and said,

"Oh! Sorry, you're right. Ahem. The sound of Azura's shout echoed in the dim, cavernous space, and soon after, there came a terrible rustling sound, like something huge was dragging along the ground in the darkness. Azura ducked down low and gestured for her companion to do the same; the pair huddled behind a pile of rubble. They watched in horror as a creature immerged from the black-- a hairy spider with glowing red eyes and enormous fangs. It seemed it had not yet spotted them, but it was investigating the room curiously. Azura leaned toward her companion and whispered to him."

Luz was about to read her next line, but then she giggled and said,

"Wait, hold on."

She scooched forward on the mattress, pushing through a pile of plushies in the way and getting closer to Hunter, who was still propped against the headboard with a pillow. She leaned in close so she could whisper directly into his ear;

"Don't. Move. A muscle. They're attracted to sound and vibration. It might give up and move on, if we're lucky."

As she leaned back again, she saw that Hunter looked very flustered, and his pointy witch ears gave an involuntary little twitch. Unable to meet her eyes, he instead struggled to get back on track with his lines, looking down at the book as if he'd lost his place.

"I, uhhh, umm . . ."

Luz grinned as she watched him. He muttered,

"H-hold on, I . . ."

Still scanning, it took him a good length of time to find his place again. He looked relieved when he finally did and he read in an unsteady voice;

"I-I say we strike the beast now, while we still have the element of surprise. I can surely sink my blade right between its eyes."

Luz put her hands on her hips, giving him a stern look.

"Don't be a fool, Hunter, that thing will swallow you like an insect."

He corrected her quietly,

"Malin."

She hummed,

"Malin, right."

She checked her phone and realized there was more narration to read. Leaning back against one of her plushies, she eagerly launched into the narration:

"Unfortunately, Azura's companion was not easily convinced once he'd made up his mind. With a battle-cry, he leapt out from behind the rubble and charged the gigantic arachnid, plunging his sword directly at its face. The spider reacted instantly, firing a jet of webbing from its mouth, which struck Malin head-on and shot him backwards, the glob of webbing sticking against the wall.

Realizing that time was of the essence, Azura powered up her staff and then charged, letting loose a volley of magic attacks. The magic struck the beast's legs and it briefly recoiled before trying to retaliate by capturing Azura in another blob of webbing. Azura rolled out of the way just in the nick of time, and then fired more magic at the beast as she lay prone on the ground. Enraged, the spider reared up on its legs, preparing to strike again. Thinking fast, Azura swung her staff, sending a huge gust of wind that shot the spider's silk back at itself, swirling around and binding it up tight. Once Azura ensured the spider was safely bound, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to check on Malin Gael."

Smiling, she looked to Hunter as she continued;

"Azura saw that Malin was still tangled up in a spiderweb that had attached itself very high to one of the dungeon's walls. He was currently hanging upside-down, struggling with the dense, sticky silk but unable to wriggle free."

Hunter made an unhappy mumbling sound about his character's fate. With a gleeful look in her eye, Luz excitedly told him,

"You should go get up on the top bunk like I did before!"

Looking somewhat amused but reluctant, he said,

"I don't know if that's entirely necessary . . ."

"It would be so perfect, though!"

He seemed to be struggling to muster a proper argument against her raw enthusiasm.

"Yeah, but I . . ."

Without any sign of shame, she begged him,

"Pleeease?"

She watched as he groaned, burying his face in his hands. Giggling, she asked,

"Is that a yes? Does that mean yes?"

". . . all right, all right, you weirdo."

Luz made a cheer of joy but clamped a hand over her mouth in the middle of it, not wanting to wake her mother. She watched as Hunter crawled across the mattress and went to climb the ladder. After some shuffling around in the dark, he hung off the side of the top bunk, his face and torso suddenly appearing above her, upside-down.

"Are you satisfied?" he asked dryly as he dangled there. Luz grinned like an absolute idiot.

"Yes, yes I am."

Hunter's eyes grew wider and he suddenly groaned,

"Oh crap how did you even do this, all the blood is rushing to my head, owww."

"I get a lot of practice. Here, you can read your lines," Luz said, holding the book up for Hunter to see.

"I can't read upside down."

"Oh, right! Sorry!"

She turned the book upside-down and held it up again, pointing to a spot.

"Right there!"

His face was growing red from the blood rush but he read his lines anyway.

". . . my fair Azura, could you perhaps do me a small favor and cut me down from this pesky web?"

Luz lowered the book down so she could focus on her reply. She smiled blithely and batted her lashes at him, asking innocently,

"Oh, dear, are you sure you want me to let you down? I thought my wise, experienced teacher might want to demonstrate to me how it's done. . ."

She leaned closer and held the book up for him again. He made a garbled groan as he struggled to read.

"Uhhgh . . . I feel like my brain is leaking out of my ears . . . umm . . . that's all right, we can skip the lessons for the time being . . . just let me down, Luz."

"That's not quite what he says."

He waved his hands, saying impatiently,

"Yeah, ok, but you get the gist of it!"

Luz giggled and relented,

"Okaaaay, I guess I'll come to your rescue . . ."

She leaned even closer, pressing one of her fingers to her lips and giving it a little smooch, then reached out and booped Hunter's nose with that finger, grinning.

"Because you asked so nicely."

Hunter's ears twitched again and he emitted a tiny, surprised noise. Then, suddenly, his eyes widened and he began to slide down off the mattress at an alarming rate, yelping. Luz lurched forward and tried to push him back up by the shoulders and he flailed, twisting around to grab hold of the blankets and mattress desperately. In a wild and extremely awkward effort, he managed to drag himself back again before he slid off the bunk.

Luz stared at him as he panted, tangled up in the blankets. She tried very, very hard to keep from laughing, holding a hand to her mouth.

A muffled 'snirk' escaped her.

"Luz," he said in a low, warning tone. Her face contorted into a grin and she melted into helpless laughter, collapsing back down on the bottom bunk.

Hunter released a sigh. Luz gasped,

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but ohmygodthatwasamazing."

The bunk above her creaked as he untangled himself from the blankets and climbed back down the ladder. Luz tried to stop laughing, she really tried, but the moment was so firmly framed in her mind-- the shocked, adorable little sound he made followed by the sheer panic as he fell. Breathlessly, she asked,

"Is that what I looked like before, how did you not laugh at me?!"

As she battled to regain some composure, she heard a quiet little 'click' noise. Looking up, she saw it was Hunter standing there, aiming his witches' scroll at her. Realizing he'd taken a picture, she giggled and asked,

"What's that for, I thought you wanted an embarrassing picture of me?"

He sat back down on the bottom bunk with her.

"I realized that was a lost cause, so I'm settling for you just being a dork."

Luz snorted,

"As if you weren't too."

He leaned back against the pillow again and murmured,

"You can hardly blame me when I'd lost all higher brain functions hanging there like that."

This set off a fresh round of laughter from Luz, and he rolled his eyes, sighing. He said,

"You're insufferable."

But he was looking down at his scroll, smiling softly. Luz leaned forward a little, saying,

"Alright, I wanna see my picture."

He leaned away at the same time, saying,

"Nope, it's mine."

"Aw, c'mon--"

With a quick flurry of the wrist, he made the scroll vanish.

"That's cheating!"

He crossed his arms and smiled smugly at her. Luz heaved a sigh and flopped back against the plushies that were crowded against the wall.

"Fiiiine, whatever."

Still lying there, she reached for her phone and checked the screen.

"Y'wanna keep reading then?"

He yawned, stretching against the pillow and letting his arms flop back down.

"It's like the middle of the night, we should probably sleep at some point."

Luz made a soft moan of protest and murmured,

"Noooo, it's such a good scene though . . ."

With a crooked smile, Hunter replied,

"I am basically half asleep at this point, and I think you are too."

"No I'm not," she mumbled, looking through her phone.

"I'm gonna keep reading, you can just listen . . ."

Hunter dug under one of the covers, saying,

"Ok, you do that, but I'm sleeping."

"Mmmmnnghhh . . . oh, here we are. Azura cut Malin free with her magic wand, and then scolded him, telling him that he needs to be more careful around the bloodwidows."

Hunter closed his eyes and mumbled groggily,

"Malin goes to the tied-up spider and gets on its back so he can ride it like a pony through the dungeon . . ."

Luz giggled.

"That's not in the story."

Luz continued trying to read the chapter, but Hunter had been correct-- she was incredibly sleepy, and they both were drifting further and further towards unconsciousness.

Onward to Chapter 8
