How do you figure Adrian and Malcom met?
“Are you sure you’ll be ok?” the worried voice of his mother asked, her eyes glancing to the passenger seat where Adrian sat.
An amused huff left his lips as he watched them roll up to campus, the university swarming with seniors and freshmen alike. Almost like a movie scene.
“I’ll be fine, mom. I survived kindergarten didn’t I?” He joked, feeling his moms fingers ruffle his hair as she quipped back “yeah. Just barely”.
He gives a grimace and shoves her hand away, giving a half smile. “I’ll be fine mom. Plus, we can always call! Don’t think I won’t be missing you too. I’ll probably panic and call you about ten times this week”.
His parents were always so worried for him, always wanting what’s best and making sure to let him know at every living moment that they loved him. It’s a bit smothering but he knows they mean well, and it’s a hell of a lot better than having parents who don’t give a shit.
After a longer than needed goodbye, where both were a little too clingy with a hug, the jock begins to head to his dorm to get started on a new chapter of his life. It’s strange, that’s a given, but he expected more than just tired looking twenty something year olds casually saying they hate life.
Maybe he’s just not that experienced yet? Who knows.
“Excuse me-“ a shy voice murmurs, catching Adrians attention as he stops taking items out of his bags. “Yeah? What’s up?” He asked warmly, straightening his posture. The person before him was a shy, anxious looking man, a few inches shorter than himself.
He had curly, dark brown hair, deep blue eyes and glasses that framed his features very well. Absolutely handsome in Adrians eyes, although that didn’t mean he could just assume the man liked guys in return.
“I know this is random and that you don’t know me but can you help? My…my roommate kicked me out as a joke and I can’t get back in. I figured you had the shoulder strength to at least get the door open again”.
He crossed his arms over his chest as he listened to the story. Kind of a dick move but hey, guys will be guys. “Have you gone to the staff about this? Maybe they can help without as much property damage” he jokes, only to see the nerds face turn red in embarrassment.
“They didn’t take me seriously…said to quit wasting their time….” He trails off, eyes adverting the jocks gaze. “S-sorry I even bothered you! I-it’s just that I’m right across the hall and I don’t know what else to do- please don’t be mad at me!” He suddenly blurts out, catching Adrian off guard.
He becomes defensive and protective at that. Clearly this man has been picked on and hurt too much, and that just put a sour taste in his mouth. Poor thing. Needs someone to show him that he doesn’t need to be scared and worried all the time. How can people do that to someone? Especially a cutie like him!
“Whoa whoa hey it’s ok! Chill out man, it’s cool. Names Adrian, first year here. I can try to get the door open but I can’t say I’ll be thrilled to see the asshat who locked it”.
“M…Malcolm. Uhm, you don’t have too if it’ll really upset you, I’d feel so bad knowing I pissed you off with my stupid problems”.
Malcolm huh? Cute name. But why would he think Adrian would be upset with him? He didn’t lock himself out! He isn’t the one causing the issue! Ugh that roommate is already getting on his bad side and he hasn’t even met the fucker.
“I don’t mind. I like helping people, plus this isn’t your fault ya know? I’ll see what I can do. Might even show that roommate of yours how fun it is to be locked out by changing the key, haha!” He gave a playful slap to his shoulder, but didn’t miss the way he tensed up and squeezed his eyes shut as if waiting for something worse.
Oh. Well now he’s definitely going to be keeping an eye on him. But he’ll have to think about that at another time. Right now? He has a door to possibly break.

Chain of Iron BOOKTALK
I just….I….HOW…WHAT???? NOVEMBER?????!!!!!!…I can’t…What just happened???… I don’t even…OMG!!!!
I think there is nothing to say without spoiling anything sooo….
SPOILER WARNING
AAAAAAHHHHHHH I can’t believe how on earth am I supposed to wait till November??? NOVEMBER!!! I KNEW, I KNEW, I KNEW that it would end this way…this massive mess I knew it…I mean we do all remember how “Clockwork Angel” ended and don’t get me started on “Lord of Shadows”… I saw it coming but not like THAT!!! THIS IS BRUTAL!!!!!!
AHHHHHH OK alright I have to calm down and AHHHHH!!! This book was pure torture but in a good way, it hurt but I loved it! I couldn’t stop reading and I was screaming throughout the whole thing and you all know perfectly good why…. THE FREAKING BRACELET!!!! I couldn’t concentrate on anything else but the bracelet…. I WAS SOOOOOOO MAD and I still am…I am freaking out !!!!
NO but really, I have to start making sense and I don’t even know where to start…there is so much to talk about…but I guess I’m starting with the ENDING because helooooo what was that???
I can’t believe it…I was waiting throughout the whole book for that bracelet to break or for James to take it off or whatever and then it finally happened!!! It happened and I was like ‘OMG YAAASSSS’!!!! It’s finally happening James is going to realise that he loves Cordelia and they are going to be together for good…I have to admit the moment that wicked thing broke I was so grateful and happy, I was over the moon, but still I was sceptical, I wasn’t as happy as I should have been, I knew it was wayyyy to good to be true and that something bad had to happen… I felt it!
First I was afraid I was petrified…(sorry I had to), I thought the bad thing that was going to replace the bracelet mess was, what Tatiana The Lunatic told Grace to do… to make Jesse fall in love with her, because she couldn’t do it with James… and at that point I lost it!!! THAT WOMAN IS SICK!!! I saw the whole Clary and Jace drama from “City of Ashes” all over again running before my eyes … I know Grace and Jesse aren’t actually related but still that is sick!!!! I just can’t go through the whole thing, we got through with James and Cordelia because of Grace and the freaking bracelet all over again with Lucie and Jesse!!!! (I will get to the Jesse/Lucie thing in a minute!)
But of course that wasn’t the bad thing that was about to happen it would have been way to harmless… and when Grace went to James for “help” I was actually a little relieved, I thought ‘Alright she does have good sense and she is going to report Tatiana’….but oh no..oh no..oh no no no no no… ahhhhhhh!!!! James my love, I love you but what was in your head when you said “Thank God” and when you told Cordelia “I don’t feel about you the way I feel about Grace” ARE YOU CRAZY??? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND??? But nevertheless, I have to give you credit for how you confronted her with her wicked power afterward, how you wouldn’t take her lies anymore! And you Cordelia darling, he said he has something important to tell, you don’t run away like that wait and see what he has to tell you or at least eavesdrop properly!!! And OMG I need to know what James wanted to tell her about the necklace he gave her, he said it has some story and I need to know it!!!
AHHHHHHH I was so happy that James figured everything out, it was my main goal for this book, my biggest hope and wish and I waited for it to happen the whole time, I couldn’t concentrate on anything else like LILITH?? WHATEVER, WHEN IS THE BRACELET COMING OFF???And then it finally happened and it turned into such a big mess! But in a weird way I love it, I am still very mad though and I need to know what happens!!! I need to know! I mean obviously things are going to turn out just fine but still!!!
Before going back to the James and Cordelia disaster we need to to talk about my love MATTHEW, because well he is very much a big part of the disaster! First of all, am I crazy or does he give off massive Harry Styles energy??? He is the fictional Harry Styles of the 20th century, if I may say so! His style… my God I’m in love! It’s not a secret that I love him very much, I have reread my booktalk for “Chain of Gold” (thank God I ramble so much in my booktalks because I was right back on track with every detail for starting this book!) and I called him my soulmate in there and he still very much is!! And ahhhhhh my hearth breaks for him, I hate to see him in pain!!!! The another big wish I had besides the bracelet breaking was, was for Matthew to tell someone what happened with Charlotte and OMG HE DID!!! I teared up at that scene, I was so happy, I was so relieved (and ahhh of course he knew that Cordelia is in love with James, of course he knew ahh bless him), he now has someone who knows and who watches over him more carefully and maybe Cordelia will convince him to tell the others too, especially Charlotte and Henry! It was such a big step forward and I am so happy for him! I have so much hope that everything will be fine with him but then…. We all know it… Cordelia will end up with James I mean that is more than crystal clear and I fear what will happen to him! I don’t want him to end up alone and oh my, call me crazy and I know I said this before but I do also ship him with Cordelia! Of course I ship James and Cordelia no doubt but still I would also love Matthew to be with her! I know, I know that would be a mess because he is to much like her father bla bla, but come on!!! He also needs someone and I don’t know who that someone could be, I don’t want him to be alone!!! (And also I need more scenes from his point of few, he needs to be more present, I don’t want our connection to fade!!!)
AAHHHH and he is going to Paris with Cordelia ahhhhhh I love that!!! I am all in for spontaneous trips and I know they shouldn’t run away from they problems like that but still, I think and also hope that they will have a great time there and that they may get closer? AH but that would be an even bigger mess wouldn’t it? I don’t know I’m confused, it’s the JEM-TESSA-WILL situation all over again. I mean I know Cordelia doesn’t love Matthew and that it would never be the same thing that she has with James and I know that all of this will backfire on Matthew, but even though I don’t want him to suffer I am still in for that, I am in for the drama!
Speaking of drama I loved that scene at the Shadow Market where James and Mathew where arguing, I didn’t liked that they were arguing but in some way it was a really great scene, I loved the tension and everything! It was really really good!
I also loved the trip scene, where Mathew took Cordelia to *couch* *couch* Wayland the Smith with the motorcar ahhhh it was lovely!!!
And hahah omg the scene at the end where James comes rushing to Matthew’s apartment and he talks to the Porter and he was like “Yeah that wasn’t his cousin, that was my wife” I couldn’t help laughing out loud! The situation was so serious and so full of tension but I couldn’t help laughing!
Another scene that made me laugh was the scene where I believe it was Thomas who said that James was possessed because he was writing in a book! And that is totally true James how could you?! HAHA
Alright so besides the bracelet/James-Cordelia-Matthew drama, what freaked me out at the end was what happened with Lucie and Jesse!!!
I still can’t get over the fact, that Cassie ended it like that!!! I mean Lucie is obviously still alive but OMG JESSE LIVES TOO!!!! I have to be hones that scene where he came back to life made me tear up, I was so happy, even though I know there will be consequences for Lucie. Ahhh and I fear crazy Tatiana but my God Jesse is alive!!!!!
And he and Lucie are soooo incredibly cute together I can’t! That scene where they were dancing in the snow….my Lord that was the sweetest thing ever I loved it so much!!!
But oh boy oh boy, as Jesse was possessed by Belail, I was so scared for him, that Cordelia would stab him with Cortana, the fear was there and it was over the top, I felt sick! Thank God things turned out fine! Crazy lunatic Tatiana how could you do that to your own son who you claim to love so much???? How could you let a Prince of Hell posses him??? Crazy lady you are awful!!!
Oh boy and if we are already touching the topic of rising up Jesse we have to talk about Malcom….goodness gracious I can’t believe the whole TDI drama is because of freaking insensitive crazy witch Grace!!! I can’t get over the fact that she is the reason why Malcom turns into a psychopath and kills so many people and basically causes all the drama in TDI!! If Grace wouldn’t have done that, if Lucie might have stoped her (or if she wouldn’t encourage Malcom into his madness my calling up Annabelle) things would have turned out so different!!!
And where in the world did he take Lucie and Jesse??? Ah I don’t trust him, because I mean it’s obvious why!
Oh and speaking of necromancy, I’m so frustrated, that I don’t remember what Ty and Kit did exactly to rise up Livvy, I mean now it doesn’t matter anymore because Jesse is alive but still, I want to remember how they did it or better say how they tried to do it!
Ah and before I go into a completely other direction I want to say a few more things about Grace… so first of all I can’t believe James left here there in the room alone I am scared that she will run away or something, that she wouldn’t tell Charlotte the truth without James there to force her… but hey we will have to wait and see what happens!
And then there is this other thing… learning her backstory in this book made me hate her a little less! I am not happy about it but I don’t know seeing exactly what she has been trough I felt sorry for her! I still don’t like her God forbid no way, she is still evil, she could have ripped apart that bracelet so many times!!! I get that she fears Tatiana but fjhfkfg, I don’t know I pity her now. And it makes me mad that I can’t be as mad at her as I was before! And then again I feel sorry for hating on her so much because it’s not her fault! I am glad though that we got this insights from her life, so that we can understand her a little better!
The other thing is, that I don’t know how I feel about her getting closer to Christopher, Christopher is such a cuty and I am constantly worried about him, because he is so pure and he trusts everyone blindly and Grace is an evil witch so…I don’t know let’s hope for the best! And then again on the other side they are both a little odd, I can picture them together, I can see that they could fit well together! Seeng it doesn’t mean accepting it though!
A few quick words about Alastair, before we go into the next big thing, I love how he cares for Cordelia, that he is so different around her and I love, that slowly but surely he is changing and behaving better and that he is slowly but surely getting the acceptance of the group! Lets hope things will tun out good, especially the bad blood between him and Matthew!
AH OH and Thomas, even though at first I thought that the whole thing with him being accused to be the murderer was a bit of unnecessary drama, I think things took a great turn! And my god I loved the the scene with him and Will and the Mortal Sword! It was absolutely hilarious, the question Will asked about the money, bless his soul!!!
Speaking of him, I loved to see him and Tessa, as usual, I can’t never get enough of them! And also Jem of course, the one and only love of my life!!! How are we kidding, I don’t think I have to tell anyone anymore, that I cried when he played the violin at James’ and Cordelia’s wedding! That got me! He gets me every time, he is my sensitive spot! And I also cried at the end when he came to talk to Cordelia and yeah…the usual…every time I think about him I cry…I just love him to much! (Speaking of the wedding, omg that was so beautiful and what Charlotte said oh my…that as so so sweet!!!)
But I have to say even though I love Jem, Will and Tessa and I love to see them every time I get the chance, I am also really happy that they don’t play that big of a role here in this story, I said this before but I love that it’s their children’s story where they are there but they are not the main characters. That is also valid for Magnus, I love that he is always there to save the day but still I like that the kids get to write their own story, if that makes sense!
OH Oh and the Italian girl?! It so ironic, that she died because I don’t know in the booktalk for “Chain of Gold” I was like: ‘Yeah omg there is this Italian girl coming I hope the group will accept her, and that she may be the one for my Math!’… well that turned out completely different!
Ohhh and her last name was di Angelo?! I love how Cassie thanked Rick for letting her borrow that last name, I love that two of the most amazing authors in the whole world are friends!
Ok but back to the serious stuff…. Lilith oh Lilith…. I was a little suspicious at the beginning of book at the bachelorette party when her name came up for the first time but I thought nothing of it, I was like oh ok let’s move on…and then her name came up a few more times but I still didn’t thought there was anything to it. Foolish little me, I should have seen it going but I didn’t!!!
I was suspicious of Wayland the Smith if I may quote my own notes, that I wrote down when he first appeared: “ Don’t trust Whayland the Smith, that was so wired, oh Cordelia what have you done, is he the killer?? Is he helping the killer??”. So deep down I knew something was up but I didn’t knew what and uhhhh….oh my and she pretending to be Magnus??? How did she dare to do it! Shame on you Lilith!!!
OMG and the battle at the end with her and Belail and everyone was so intense!!! I can’t wait to see how they are going to solve this whole mess, especial the paladin thing!
And the whole Wayland the Smith thing is actually so interesting like does he actually exists? Is he still alive?? We definitely need more informations about him!
Coming back to the paladin thing though, I can totally understand Cordelia, how she must feel and all but please gris don’t exaggerate you still have to be Lucie’s parabatai, you can’t give that up! It has to happen, it just has to! And what have you done to Cortana? Where is it? I need to know!
Oh uh uh but you know what else is suspicious??? That gift Cordelia got from her father, that sword hold thing, because first of all where did he get it from and second Lilith (as she pretended to be Waylande the Smith) made comment on it, that it was worthy or good or something, does that mean that thing is also enchanted, does it mean it has a spell on it or something? Did Elias get it from her? It’s very suspicious and I need more informations!
By the way, his death… I didn’t feel very sorry because I don’t know he was causing unnecessary trouble and even though I am grateful that he saved Jem all those years ago…I don’t know he was wired…I felt sorry for Cordelia, seeing her suffer so much made me sad but than again his death caused unnecessary trouble even if only for a short while between James and Cordelia so I don’t know…and Alastair suffered so much all those years because of him… we wasn’t very likeable!
All in all I had the best time reading this book, it felt so good to be back “home”, I love this world so much and it felt so good to be back! It made me miss London so much… it reminded me how much I love it and ah also the time period I love it !!! Unfortunately though it is now over and I have to face the real world again, and besides that we have to wait till November to find out how things will turn out!!! On the other side I don’t want it to end!!!
Thank you very very much for reading and please let me know your thoughts on the book!!!
P.S. Cordelia said, that if she loses a chess game she would tell James how she is in love with, do you think that is how they are going to make up? That they will play a game and she will lose and tell him that she has always loved him and then they will be together for real? By the way they still have to get those second wedding runes!!!!
P.P.S James’ middle name is Henry??? That is the sweetest thing ever!!!
P.P.P.S I hope that everything between James and Matthew will be ok, that they will stop forging, that Matthew will tell James everything and that everything will be ok regardless of whom will end up with Cordelia!

The archer - Tim Drake x reader 2/?
The archer - Tim Drake x reader 2/?
Requested: no
Warnings: bit of angst 
Taglist: @isthataladybag
Summary: Y/n Queen will be living in the Wayne Manor for a while, and Dick Grayson decided to be the Cupid between her and his little brother Tim Drake.
Word count: 2.671
Part 1 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6  - Part 7
Tumblr media
After the sleeping incident, Tim couldn't look at you without blushing madly. You only smiled sweetly at him, not really trying anything to make him more flustered. You figured if he had the same interest in you as you had in him, eventually he would come to you and you both could find out what to do about that. 
Obviously, you had to talk to someone about that, and that lead to a big wave of teasing coming from Connor Hawke, your best friend . You wished you could talk about that to your sister Emiko, but unfortunately that wasn't possible at the moment. You were still adjusting to the fact that you had a sister, and right at the moment where you wished to speak to her about something important to you, you simply couldn't reach out to her. 
You were sitting at the Batcomputer watching Jason do some workout routine. You had went down there once you found out they had a treadmill, and decided to take on the opportunity to run a bit. Just to get the blood pumping.
"So, when was the last time you practiced something?" Jason asked, pulling you out of your thoughts 
You looked up at him, watching as he had finished up his routine. You smirked, pulling your hair up in a ponytail, walking towards him. 
"Before I got here." You replied 
"Oh, you must be rusty then. It's been a couple of weeks." He laughed "Are you sure you're up for sparing?"
"Are you sure you're up for sparing?"
He laughed at you, motioning with his hand "Bring it up."
You lunged at him, deflecting some of his punches and trowing some of your own. You caught on his hand as he want to punch you in the face, twisting his arm around to his back. He let go, making you stumble a little before you got back on your feet, elbowing him on the ribs, and successfully kicking him on the knees making him loose his balance as you went around his back and got him on the ground with a painful thud. 
You smirked down at him, offering a hand.
"Looks like you're the one who is a little rusty." You teased him 
"I was going easy on you." He grumbled under his breath
"How did you do that?" Damian questioned, standing beside you, looking at his brother on the floor and then back at you, narrowed eyes 
This was one of the first times that he was talking to you without that air of disgust he always have. You smiled, pushing some hair strands from your face. 
"My brother taught me that." 
"Yeah, but Todd is more than twice your size." He remarked, not truly believing in what he had witnessed before his eyes "Fight me!"
"Ok." You nodded, getting in fight stance once more 
Jason chuckled lowly, getting out of your way and joining Dick and Tim who had stopped to watch you and Damian fight. The two later, who had not seen you and Jason fight, were looking concerned about your well being. Damian knew how to be ruthless during fighting, he had been trained by the League of Assassins after all. 
The little boy lunged at you with all his force, only growing frustrated as you dodged all of his advances and managed to punch him in the ribs. It was easy to understand a bit of his moves, he was raised at the League of Assassins, you had your fair share of encounters with them to now that, and also had spent five months being trained by them after some ridiculous stunt that Malcom Merlyn had pulled.
He screamed in frustration when you held both of his arms on his back, him on his knees. 
"I demand you tell me how you know all of this."
Damian would never admit it, but you were too good of a fighter and he didn't want to give you the credit for it. He was supposed to know all the cool and different tricks he learned at the league. 
His brothers were staring at you in a awe as Jason only laughed at scene in front of him. Tim thought his heart was going to come out of his mouth, it was beating just way too fast. If he didn't think you were way too incredible for him before, now he was a 100% sure of it. 
"Your mother taught me that." Was all you said, before pulling the boy up and leaving to grab a bottle of water 
At that all four of them had their mouthes hung open. Talia had taught you that? How was it possible that you, of all people, had been trained by that woman? That only made them realize they didn't know much about you as you seem to know a lot about them. That certainly wasn't good, they were supposed to be a family of detectives, how couldn't they know who was the girl that was staying at their house? 
"You mean you were trained by the demon's mother?" Jason exclaimed "Roy never told me that."
"That's because we do not talk about that. She tried to kill me once or twice, and I also spent some time at the League." You explained, turning to look at them as you leaned against a table "That's not big deal, really."
"Uh, yes it is!" Tim exclaimed, waving his hands around "You turned on the tables of her wanting to kill to being trained by her. If this isn't amazing, I don't really know what it is."
You smiled at him, it felt good to be complimented by him. Thank God you checks were already red from the physical effort or else everyone would have seen you blush. 
"Well, when your brother is the Green Arrow, his girlfriend is the Black Canary and you're surrounded by bad guys trying to kill you and your family, you kind of have to find a way to defend yourself."
Tim's eyes went wide. Was he crushing Oliver Queen's little sister? Oh, this was much worse than he had previously thought. He thought you were Roy's sister, which was already bad enough, but being Oliver's sister? He's going to end up with way to many arrows' wounds if they ever find out about him having feelings for you. 
He failed to notice as everyone left the room, leaving the two of you alone. They had all been rushed out by Dick who wanted to make sure you guys would end up together by the time you left. He wouldn't let it go until you were a couple.
"So..." You broke the silence, taking a few steps towards him "We haven't really talked much since that day I helped you out with that case. How is it going?"
His eyes went wide, he didn't think you'd notice he had been kind of avoiding you lately. 
"It's good to go. We're going to bust them tomorrow, that's when the sale is going to take place." 
You nodded, standing right in front of him. You were only a few inches from him, if he lifted his hand he could brush it against your skin - he really wanted to do that. He wanted to feel your warmth and your body close to his just like that day when you slept in each others embrace. 
"Maybe I could join you guys on the field." You said, looking up at him thought your eyelashes "I have some experience on that area already."
"Yeah?" He breathlessly asked, leaning down a bit, just to take a better look at you "But that's too dangerous, you could get hurt."
"So could you." Your chests were almost touching "I guess we would have to have each others backs, then."
"I suppose we would." He pushed some loose hair away from your face, keeping his hands there "But still, I can't picture someone so wonderful as you at a weapon sale."
"I could say the same for you." You pressed your hands on his chest, patting it slightly, feeling some of its muscles "Normally big bad mobster buyers have a girl in his arms."
"And you would be my girl?"He questioned, his hand on your face going down to your jaw as his other hand pulled at your waist, pressing your bodies together 
"Oh, yes. You can bet I'll be your girl." You replied, gripping his biceps 
He leaned down more, your lips was just about to brush, you could feel your heart beating faster and faster. Then there was footsteps approaching making you pull apart. 
"Father is asking for you, Drake. You have a meeting at Wayne Enterprises." Damian announced, eyeing you two very suspiciously, considering how red your faces were
"Yeah, I am coming." Tim rubbed the back of his neck
He looked at you sheepishly before leaving with his little brother, leaving you alone at the batcave, frustrated.
So much for a kiss.
Tumblr media
Later that week, they were all getting ready for the weapon sale. You were sitting on a chair, looking rather disappointed when Bruce had told you he had promised your brother to keep your safe, and letting you go to a mission full of weapon wasn't really keeping you safe. You tried to argument that you knew how to take care of yourself, but Dick had told you it was hard to change Bruce's mind once it was already set up.
All there was left for you to do was sit with Alfred and watch the cameras. Hoping that everything would turn out to be ok, you didn't want any of them to get hurt, being in there would make you feel a bit more calmer. At least you would be able to intervene if it was necessary, you could help out. 
"They're going to be ok, miss y/n. That includes master Tim."
You looked at Alfred with pure shock. Sure it wasn't that visible that you had a crush on Tim. 
"I saw the both of you asleep at his bed a couple of days ago." He explained "I am glad he found a girl like you."
You smiled happily at him. Getting Alfred's approval was important to you, even if you still didn't know what was going on between the two of you after having almost shared a kiss yesterday and saying stuff about you being his girl. But, you were always inching towards each other, and right now all you wanted to do was be by his side on the field. 
You heard them talking over the coms, wishing they'd all be alright by the end of this. God, if they showed up with any bullet wounds, you'd be pissed. 
"We're about to get in." Bruce said over the coms "Red Hood was already able to get the information we needed to get all these men in jail."
"I'm cutting the power right now." Alfred informed, clicking some things on the bat computer and shutting down all energy from the building
Right now all you could hear was grunting and gunshots as the fight started. You bit your lip nervously, you were already used to this kind of stuff, you watched your brother do it every time and most times you stayed behind because being a vigilante isn't one of your top priorities, but you have no idea how the batfamily works. You've never actually seen them in action before, so obviously you were a nervous wreck waiting for them to get back.
"Perhaps I should prepare you a cup of camomile tea while you monitor them to me." Alfred offered, already standing up and not waiting for your reply
Honestly, this man is way too good to everyone in this house. 
Your eyes stayed glued on the screens, looking trough all of the surveillance cameras to make sure there was nothing out of the ordinary happening there. But that's when an alert popped up on the screen and a lot made sense to you in that moment, this wasn't just any kind of weapon sale. 
"Uh guys, you need to get out of there." You said, typing away on the keyboard trying to get more information - grateful for whatever tech info Felicity ever taught you "There's a bomb in the building!"
"What? Can you find where's located?" Tim breathlessly asked 
"It's under it, but I can't disarm it from here! Someone must do it remotely. I'm sending you the infos."
Why would someone plant a bomb at a weapon sale? That didn't make any sense. 
"Here's your tea, miss... What just happened?" Alfred rushed to your side upon looking at the bomb's instructions 
"There is a bomb in the building!"
"I'm already on it!" Damian exclaimed 
You took a big gulp of the tea, wishing that the camomile would instantly calm you down. That was too much for your nerves, Damian was just a kid, what if it exploded on him? This mission was testing your anxiety levels a lot more than you expected it to. 
A painfully half an hour later, you heard all of their bikes and the batmobile pulling up at the cave. You and Alfred had already prepared all of the necessary stuff in case they were hurt, which of course they were.
All five of them came limping towards the medical bay where Alfred ushered them to start patching them up. You looked up from the medical gloves you were placing on your hands to see Tim stand beside you, a hand on his shoulder and a small smile on his lips.
"It was nice working with you over the coms. You did a good job."
"Thank you, I normally help Felicity the best I can when I'm not out on the field." You smiled back at him, pulling his hand away from his shoulder to take a better look at the injury "Sit down, please, you're too tall for me and this is gonna hurt."
He chuckled at your choice of words, but then proceeded to whimper in pain as he sat down on the medical bed behind him. You shook your head, helping him pull out the top half of his suit to have better access at the wound. You inspected it closely, standing between his legs, before pulling the bullet out of his shoulder, it didn't go too deep, so it was easier to get it out. 
You cleaned all of the blood with alcohol to make sure it wouldn't infect and then proceeded to stitch him up. 
"You're full of surprises, little Queen." Tim broke the silence, looking at your adorably concentrated face "A very skilled fighter, good at patching people up, good with techs. Is there anything else you'd like to share?"
You bit your lower lip, placing some gauze over the stitches and rubbing it slightly. You looked up at him, a smirk adorning your face.
"And what's the fun in that? I think you're gonna have to find out all of my secrets, Mr. Drake."
He chuckled, placing a hand at your hips to keep you from moving "Oh, you can bet I'm gonna find it all out."
He leaned in a bit, but you placed a finger on his lips. He frowned, pouting slightly against your index finger.
"We can finish flirting later, pretty bird. Right now you need to rest and I have to help Alfred patch up the rest of your brothers."
"But I may need assistance while resting."
Your finger traced the outline of his lips, eyes never failing to leave his as you slowly took a step away from him.
"If you go up to your room right now, take a shower and actually lay in bed to rest, after I'm done here, I'll visit you to make sure you have the assistance you need."
Tim nodded eagerly, standing up too fast and wincing from pain one more time. 
"I can do that." He smiled, kissing your check

WandaVision Episode 8 spoilers
Ok I heard this episode is sad so I’m prepared to cry and ruin my eyeliner.
I’m just emotionally preparing myself rq before I start I’m assuming a lots gonna go down cause the second episode is the finale.
I’m still not ready 2 minutes later lmao wait.
Okay hmm the title is called Previously On so we’re going back in time to her childhood based on the summary.
I think we’re gonna get more insight on her and Visions relationship and how it formed and hopefully get to see her relationship with her brother I’m starting now.
Ugh my TV is glitching
Okay we’re starting out in witch trials so it’s Agathas backstory the lady staring at her looks familiar. Oh it’s her mom
Her powers are blue here she’s into dark magic and the book in her basement is the stolen book from Doctor Strange im assuming she began learning dark magic from it l.
As they started to drain her. Her powers became blue and she starting to drain them back. I’m assuming the witches shared power and it was blue and now that it’s dark magic it’s purple.
Wow she killed her whole coven my draining them of their life and magic. Then she took her mother’s amulet so that’s the amulet she’s always wearing from the comics is. 
She admitted her thoughts weren’t available and she was never under control.
Her accent is back because she’s angry because of her children being missing.
She possessed the fake Pietro from another universe she didn’t say he was from another universe she just said she couldn’t get to his body so she had to do possession instead of necromancy.
She picked up the fly now she’s chanting in Latin
She’s mind controlling and talking about how thousands of people can be under your control and all interact with each other with complex storylines which makes me think she wants Wanda power because she’s jealous she can do everything like transformation and mind control without having to study all the spells
“Magic on autopilot,” Dhe wants to know how she did this and she wouldn’t tell her and now she’s manipulating her with her own loneliness. She took a piece of her hair so now she has her DNA 
Real reruns aka memories so she can look into them to see how she did it.
Her kids are crying out for in the basement so she’s gonna go with Agatha to save them I honestly don’t think the cries were her own.
OHHH MY GOD
All the movies her parents were going to sell were the decades and movies she did projected.
When Wanda walked into the memory she turned into her younger self,
The Dick Van Dick show is in the TV shape of the one Darcy used on the first episode so we know where she got her inspo for that one.
Everything outside makes me think this is the scene where her parents die.
The Stark bomb just hit and she’s looking around and can’t find her family yeah the Stark industry label is in front of her and she’s reverted back to Sokovian because she’s young and not the best at English yet I’m assuming.
The TV I’d still on and playing the show “At the end of the episode you realize it was all a bad dream,” I’m not sure why she said that part in English maybe because she’s referring to the show and movie nights are for English? 
Agatha is asking if she used a probability hex to stop the bomb because Wanda reached her hand out towards it and that’s how she uses her powers.
Maybe Agatha is hinting towards Wanda being a natural born witch?
“So what I see here a baby witch obsessed with sitcoms and years of therapy ahead of her. Doesn’t explain your recent hijinks,”
Wanda used her powers subconsciously there and she’s probably using her powers subconsciously to keep Westview running and she used them subconsciously to get it started. 
“The only way forward is back,”
She’s referring to Wanda not wanting to go back to Hydra I haven’t seen the scene yet but I’m assuming it’s because the testing was painful and because she now knows who hydra is and what it stands for.
“Don’t be scared you already lived it once,”
They have Loki’s sceptor of course im assuming they got it from SHIELD since they are SHIELD.
She didn’t have to touch the sample it just came to her on its own further proving she’s a witch but I don’t think she knows she moved it,
She touched the tesseract making the mine stone she then absorbed all its energy and passed out.
In isolation she’s watching another sitcom I just can’t figure out which it is.
I’m sure the episode on the TV is important “she hasn’t got any feeling,” maybe it’s about the Westview citizens or maybe it’s about vision being a doll or like a puppet and the brother is like “she hasn’t got any feelings” just like when Pietro or Fietro called Vision a popsicle an inanimate object 
“So little orphan Wanda got up close and personal with an infinity stone that amplified what otherwise would’ve died on the vine. The broken pieces of you are adding up buttercup I have a theory but I need more,” This is probably talking about how if you don’t use your powers or learn to control them you stop having them but the infinity stone just made the powers she already had stronger. The name Scarlett Witch is starting to make sense now. 
Another door another memory that I’d her watching Malcom in the middle.
She said the Avengers compound was the first home she had ever shared with Vision and with her family and country gone she felt alone so I’m assuming she’s with Vision cause he cured her loneliness.
Vision walking through the walls again she asking him to watch the sitcom with her. The sitcoms are important to her and she’s sharing them with him.
“So it is funny because of the grievous injury that man just suffered?” Vision
“No he’s not really injured,” Wanda
“How Can you be sure?”
“It’s not that kind of show,”
I think this is sort of related to the fact that nothing bad ever happens in Westview permanently like in Malcolm in the middle where the roof structure fell on the dad sure he got hurt but it wasn’t a detrimental injury.
He wants to comfort to her “The only thing that would bring me comfort is seeing him again,” Wanda about Pietro she felt the same with Vision hence why Westview is happening and why he’s back.
“I’m so tired, It’s just like this wave washing over me again and again it knocks me down and when I try stand up it just comes for me again and I can’t- it’s just gonna drown me,” How she explains her grief and depression we’re getting a glismpe of how she copes with death in her actual reality.
Vision says he’s always been alone he never experienced loss because he never had a loved one to lose.
“What is grief if not love preserving,” Okay damn Vision getting all deep.
Aww they just had a moment and now he’s laughing over the show how sweet. The awkward smile they did at eachother. How cute
Vision was dead and she wanted him back now we get to see how she stole Visions body back from her perspective.
All the news on the TV playing might not be revelant but it’s related to tamiles being reunited after the blip. So this is very shortly after the blip and some people might be right thinking it was almost directly after Tony’s funeral.
“He deserves a funeral at least I deserve it,”
They’re letting her take him probably to be able to paint her as a villain which is why Hayward cut out the first part of the footage.
She’s being shown him take apart and sawed she’s in pain seeing him practically dying again. Hayward called vision a weapon and Wanda is saying he’s not a weapon because he wasn’t and he didn’t want to be a weapon Hayward is hiding his true intentions of bringing him back to be his own weapon
“I just want to bury him. That’s all I want,”
She said she can’t do that she truly believes she can’t.
He won’t let her take $3 billion of vibranium to put in the ground she just wanted him to have a proper burial but Hayward provoked her and set her off.
She can’t feel him. A nod to how Vision said “I only feel you,” When he asked Wanda to kill him there is nothing left. She hot in the car and went to Westview she left and when she left she didn’t have Visions body.
She’s pulled up to place where she planned to grow old in with Vision and it’s been demolished this is the scene where she breaks down crying over it. And when she grieved she lets it get the best of her which is how she put the house back together without realizing she was doing it. Then that spread over the whole town and she is projected her own version of Vision. But I’m unsure if this is really Vision or not because then she’d be way more powerful than I ever believe to be able to create people own her own.
Oh wow she’s showing all the lights and it’s like she’s own set so she’s back to where Agatha had this all set up and she was the audience.
Agatha is choking the twins “I know what you are. You have no idea how dangerous you are. You’re supposed to be a myth. A being capable of spontaneous creation. and here you are using it to make breakfast for dinner.” Maybe Wanda was a prophecy before hand and she just never learned how powerful she really was and now Agatha is trying to feed off her powers I’m assuming she’s going to try to get Wanda to push her powers into her so she can drain her.
“Let go of my children,” Wanda with her accent coming back.
“Oh, yes your children and Vision and this whole little life you’ve made, this is Chaos magic Wanda. That makes you the Scarlett Witch,” Ugh yes one of those moments where they say a name of the movie or a character that’s basically it’s own movie I love it.
I’m gonna research Chaos magic and then I’ll reblog this again after I research some other things too.
End credits time. “Team is ready for launch,” They’re going to use Wanda own power to attack her using Visions actual corpse. He’s been brought back as the one thing he didn’t want to be. A weapon. I’m not sure who that was who powered it up but was it Monica’s contact?
Also doesn’t Agatha have Monica now if she was possessing Fietro? I have a lot of questions that I can’t get out right now

my christmas break starts this friday as well! what’s up with your coworker? have her test results come back? is she doing okay?
alright, so my fav topics include:
- the russian revolution, as already stated :D
- the cold war (mostly from the east european point of view)
- the tudors
- victorian era england
i also really love peaky blinders (the show) and i occasionally enjoy reading about how different gangs operated back in those days but i don’t know much lmao
also, monarchy is just such a terrible system but i completely get your interest in the people! for example, i also adore reading and learning about the tudors and the romanovs but only as a part of history and not because i’m such a big fan of the monarchy? lmao if that makes sense.
and like, i lowkey get why the bolsheviks thought they needed to assassinate the whole family but it’s also really sketchy, dude ://
i think i like britain’s history just because it’s so rich and influential, but like we simply can’t ignore the fucked up shit they’ve done through the centuries. so again, i enjoy it but mostly because i love judging them for their actions lmao
and to answer your question, i don’t really know if i have many historical favs? i feel like i enjoy way too many problematic people lmao. nevertheless, the ones i’m most interested in atm are: lenin (shockers), anne boleyn, anne bonny, malcolm x - this list shifts constantly depending on my mood though.
oh shush you, i’m sure your style is bombing based on everything i just read :)
lmao i actually do that sometimes, but mostly in my mother tongue! but i also just love shakespearean insults in english, those are impeccable
and merci beaucoup! good luck with russian; maybe you’ll be able teach me a few phrases in the future :D
ooh what are you studying atm? if you don’t mind sharing, that is.
and me, i’d like to become a psychologist some day, so that’s pretty far from history as well haha but i never want the enthusiasm to die ever and i’m really loving how the two of us can just scream to each other about history in every single ask/answer :D
thank you so much for these beautiful recommendations, i’ll definitely check them out!!
here are some of mine:
books:
- maria stuart by stefan zweig (german author, so it shouldn’t be too hard for you to find it!!)
- red crosses by sasha filipenko (fiction about the stalinist regime)
- the age of light by whitney scharer (historical fiction again lmao; tells the story of photographers lee miller and man ray’s romance in the 30s with little snippets into wwii through lee’s pov; the writing was stunning)
- sapiens by yuval noah harari (basically the history of mankind; so informative and enjoyable, i adored it)
- the real peaky blinders by carl chinn (what the title says, really; the actual gangs of birmingham and their not so shiny careers)
these are the best ones i read in 2020 but i’ll let you know if i remember any of my other reads!!
i also haven’t read any actual books about the 1917 revolution because i haven’t really had the chance to go to the library yet and i’ve been busy doing my research on the internet haha (it’s a fairly new hyperfixation of mine, to be frank). however, i’ll hit you up if i find anything worthwhile <3
documentaries:
- the russian revolution (the title speaks for itself lmao)
- genius of the modern world (3-part docuseries about marx, nietzsche and freud)
- world war ii in colour (lmao just a classic, innit)
- secrets of great british castles
- the last tzars (tho i’m pretty sure you’re quite familiar with this one haha)
- forbidden history
- secrets of the six wives
- anything by lucy worsley, tbh
these are all off the top of my head but again, i’ll let you know if i remember any more!!
oml i apologise for the long message and i hope your week is going well :D
dont apologize for long messages! <3 im always happy to talk to you 
sadly her test was positive UGH which means i have to get myself tested too (today) and if the worst case happens: i´ll have to spend christmas alone in my student flat bc then i obviously cant go home to my family (my grandparents live there..) so yeah, today 14:20 o clock... i have the test :( cross your fingers for me pls huhuhu
thats cool that we have the russian revolution and vicxtorian era as common interest ^^ i read a book recently its called “the ordeal” and its a triology written by alexej tolstoi during the times of the revolution. its a story about two sister and their love interests during the war times and its really good!!! 
oh i barely know anything about the tudors! pls hmu
ah yes.. the cold war... i have to admit im rather interested in the music and sociology of the cold war times but the political stuff is super interesting too! esp as you said from an east european view, so we can talk about that too!
yep. monarchy sucks! i understanbd from like a logical point of view why they shot them all, but the human side of me thinks its just cruel.. i mean yeah tsar nicholas wasnt a good politician but he wasnt a bad person either. but yeah, a difficult topic.. tbh he´s the only romanov im really interested in (i really dislike his wife alexandra tho lmao) hbu? 
leninnn :D i kinda excpected that! i havent really read much about him but he seems to be an interesting person! and who is anne boyd? malcom X yes! im really interested into the civil rights movement as well. I really like martin luther king jr.
englands history really fascinates me, and i honestly cant tell you why... but it is what is is hahhaa! nand duuudeeee omg they fucked so many shit up.. the british are a funny nation. but honestly none is unproblematic and every nation screwed up big time once:D judging is really important when youre intereste din history! like im interested in king george and queen mary but not solely for political reasons, more actually for their personal lives and victorian times and how they were as a couple, but i know... they did bad stuff too!
omg teach me some shakespearean insults pls! i only know a few victorian ones! and a bit of sixties slang :D 
im gonna reblog this and add some russian phrases bc my russian keyboard in on my phone :) but i use duolingo so the sentences are ... really weird lmao
im studying physical geography in Erlangen right now and am in my 7th semester.) im actually writing my bachelor thesis rn UGHHHHHHH
ohhhhh psychology is cool!! im really intersted in it, sadly i cant ever be one bc i suffer from poor mental health too much myself, in fact i have an appointment my therapist in a few minutes haha BUT i think youre super trustworthy and nice and easy to talk to so these are really good qualities for a therapist <3<3<3<3

ok and i will watch ALL of these (except the last tsars bc yeah i already saw it! and liked it ... kinda .. i didnt like the actor they chose for nicky, he didnt remind me of him at all)
i have alot of historical fiction books to recomment too: 
if you like ww2 “a time to live and a time to die”
ww1: “all quiet on the western front”
russian revolution and war time “the ordeal”

Could you please please please do “Stop freaking out, you’re making me freak out! And I’m the level headed one!” With Dani and Malcom. Thank you friendo I love your blog by the way!
(AHh? You love my blog <3? I love you!! Also, I hope you enjoy this. I wrote it instead of sleeping!)
“Oh fuck.”
Malcolm sits up in the car, suddenly a little more interested in the overheated engine. He opens the door, sticking his head out and frowning when he sees Dani cussing and kicking at the tire. “Dani?” He ducks back into the car when a snowball goes flying by his head. He pops back up,” hey! What-”
He stops himself, biting his lip as Dani continues kicking and cussing at the snow. Deciding that he really can figure out what she’s so angry, there’s no need taking the beast on by himself. 
He is really regretting offering himself up to be Dani’s tag along to follow up a stray lead. Mostly because now he’s stuck on a road he’s never heard of with a pissed off Dani, snow everywhere, and a broken car. 
 “Dani?” He steps out of the car, regretting not having walked out of the apartment this morning with a better coat. The wind is brisk, ripping right through his thin shirt and suit jacket. Which reminds him, he didn’t step out of the apartment this morning. He stayed the night at the station with Dani and JT, much to Gil’s annoyance. “Maybe you should come back in the car? We can call JT and he can be out here in no time.”
“I can’t,” Dani says. Her arms are on her hips, her breath condensating in the chilly air. “My phones dead.”
“Oh,” Malcolm says. Trying not to grimace,” so is mine.”
“Yeah, I know.” Her deadpanned remark comes with a kick at the snow, a hand going to rest against her forehead. Frustration just seeping out of her every movement. It’s putting him on edge, watching her pace and kick. 
“Oh, well…” he glances at the car and then back at her. “Can you get back in the car? You’re kind of scary standing out there kicking and yelling.” Which is true. Decked out in her leather and boots, no need to add how intimidating he knows she is… It’s a power move he’s a bit too under built for. Not to mention he’s a little light-headed from the cold and empty stomach combo.
“Fuck off, Malcolm.” She spits out, kicking the snow one last time and starts walking back to the car. He can see, as she approaches the light of the car, that her cheeks and nose are rosy red. He gets back into the car first, afraid to look at her for too long and really have her wrath turned on him and his lingering eyes.
“Thank you.” He says it softly, as to not rub in how thankful he is that she’s not standing in the snow. He feels unwelcomed in the space that before felt shared. Her anger is taking up so much space that his insecurities are shouting, insisting that he needs to get out. To leave.
“Whatever.”
So he crosses his ankles, like the mere space his legs take up bothers her. Fiddling with his thumbs, scratching at his sleeves, and picking apart his nails. Anything he can think of that’s not talking to her, aggravating her. It’s still boring, so he throws his head back. Looking out through the window, he watches the snow hit the leaves. The bows of the tree looking like they’ll snap. 
“G-Ah!” Malcolm flinches, his hand coming to his chest. The girl from the box, hair wet from snow, and skin a deathly grey stares back at him. He throws the door open, his throat soar as he screams. He’s got to getaway. Can’t let him get her. 
Dani watches in horror. Unsure of what she should do as Malcolm falls into the snow. Battling some demon she can’t see. “Malcolm!” She jumps out too, trying to stop him before he runs into the woods. His eyes are wide and she’s afraid if he gets any farther he’ll runoff. Then she can’t help him. 
“Malcolm please,” she yells, growing more desperate. His body jerking again, his legs fumbling to get underneath him as he fights in the snow. He screams out, falling on his back, smacking his head. He pops right back up but this time he doesn’t recoil doesn’t fight. He shakes his head, snow falling out of his hair. He presses his hand to it, noticeably calmer. 
“Please, come back in the car.” Her chest is heaving, she’s shivering. She pulls her arms tighter around her chest, rubbing her hands over her arms. “Malcolm?”
“Dani?” He stands up, stumbling and nearly falling back into the snow. She takes a hesitant step towards him, afraid of what might happen if he’s not out of his hallucination or nightmare or whatever set him off. He stumbles into her, mumbling something she can’t make-out. He shivers, his bare skin is freezing against hers.
She pushes him into the car, fumbling but stern even as she gently helps him pull his right leg into the car. She shuts the slams the door. Stomping around to her side. When she gets in, her own door is treated with the same familiarity. She sighs, choppy and nerve-wracked.  “Can you just… stop freaking out, you’re making me freak out! And I’m the level headed one!”
Malcolm looks down at his hands, trembling from the cold. It’s seeping into the car. Under his suit jacket. “I’m sorry.”
She puts her hands over her face. “No, don’t be sorry. Fuck, I’m sorry Malcolm. You freaked me out.” She runs her hands down her face, “I just… JT would know how to fix the car or probably Gil-” She chokes back a sob. “And I don’t. So, they’re gonna poke fun of me for a week or a month.” She wipes her eyes angrily,” now I’m acting stupid with you. All because I started my period and I hope you don’t think-”
“Hey,” Malcolm reaches out, putting his hand over hers where she’s now dropped them in her lap. “Dani, you’re the strongest person I know… I don’t think I could ever spend as much time with JT as you do. That shows the kind of strength you have.”
He gets a brief grin, “shut up.”
He squeezes her hand. Letting go to bump her shoulder with his fist,“ no, I mean it.”
Dani smiles now, fulling wiping her eyes away. She sniffles, “you’re… You’re pretty cool, Bright.”
Malcolm smiles, oddly warm. He glances at her, hands going back to their usual, nervous tremor. “Cool enough to be friends with?”
“Yeah.”
Malcolm yawns into his hand. Startling himself with his body openly admitting to being tired. He, honestly, hadn’t felt tired until that exact moment. Between the warmth of the car compared to outside and Dani’s second admission of their friendship. He’s rather drowsy.
Dani notices that he’s blinking a little slower, breathing a little slower. “If I climb out of the car and put the seats down…” it suddenly feels like she’s some seductress. “It’s not an invitation to make-out with me but I would share my coat as a blanket and we can get some sleep? Just hope that Gil or JT come to our rescue?”
“I don’t know…”
She sighs, quickly moving from upset and put out to willing to crawl across the armrest between her and Bright and wring his neck. “Listen, I know about you and Eve. So, if you’re worried about that-” motioning to the back seat, “-there are no knives in here so at least you can’t stab me.”
There’s a moments hesitation. He just looks at her like he’s trying to figure out if she means or if she’s making fun of him. The moment passes and he nods stiffly. “Ok.”
She smiles,” Good. If you get handsy, Bright, I’ll drop you.” 
She says it with a smile on her face and Malcolm can’t help but smile back. Now grinning rather stupidly he follows her,” yes, ma’am.”

Malcolm Merlyn x Reader Workout Session
Requested by @legionofdoom23
Imagine catching Malcom working out in a secluded area…
I’ve never watched Arrow, but I have seen both seasons of Legends of Tomorrow. So I don’t know if I wrote Malcom well…
Mindlessly wandering through Merlyn Mansion, you explored each room and made note of what each one was used for. All intended for good (prank) purposes of course. Some were pretty simple (which you didn’t think existed in Malcom’s dictionary), but some were very elegant. You usually let yourself into his extravagant​ home just to pester Malcom as he works on documents and such. At first he would scold and glare at you everytime you made a distinct comment, but now he just sits in silence hoping you’d shut up. Which you didn’t though.
Clunk, clunk, clunk…
You raised an eyebrow at the noise and waited a bit. You knew Malcom was in the mansion somewhere, you just didn’t know where. Hence your sudden need to find him and destroy any ounce of peace he had. It’s not like you had a crush on him or anything…
Ok, maybe a small crush…not really a small crush, actually.
Clunk, clunk, clunk…
That sounds like something being dropped repeatedly​. After going through a few more doors, getting closer and closer to this clunking sound, you finally arrived at a door at the end of the hall. You slowly opened it and was not disappointed by what you saw.
Clunk, clunk, clunk…
Malcom was…in a tight, sweat-drenched white shirt working out those arm muscles​ and sporting basketball shorts. Holy crap he’s attractive AND fit. Who wouldn’t want to tap that? Blushing at the inappropriate thoughts rushing through your head, you didn’t notice that Malcom noticed you staring.
“Looks like the little Birdy finally shut up for once,” he said smirking, as he walked towards your smaller form. Snapping out of your trance you started backing up to the wall slowly as Malcom stalked forward smugly.
Once your back hit the wall you looked down as he placed one hand on either side of you, trapping you, causing you to maintain the blush on your cheeks, “I hate you.”
Smirking, the Dark Archer gently lifted your chin up, bringing your gaze to meet his, “No you don’t.” He leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on your mouth. Blushing hard, you closed your eyes and returned the kiss.
After a bit you both pulled back for air and you hugged him tightly. Burying your red face into his chest, not caring that he was all sweaty, but the fact that he did return your feelings in some way. He carefully wrapped his arms around you and placed a kiss a top your head.

The books I read in the second half of the year.
The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy - Mackenzi Lee: ☆☆☆ There was something about this book that I just wasn’t completely connecting with; especially as we got further into the story. I just got a bit bored, even if there was a lot of action going to. I both the books by Lee that I have read start of very much historical YA and then slowly start to mix more fantastical elements into them as we get closer to the end and I am not sure if I am into that. I feel like I was expecting more piracy and more exploration of Felicity's asexuality, and I didn't get that. But I loved the female friendships here.
Autoboyography - Christina Lauren: ☆☆☆ A very cute little love story, very YA at times, and one of the few times this year that an audiobook completely gripped me, and my mind didn’t just wonder of as it was narrated to me. I got a bit tired of the plot around the end or it almost had just run its course. It all came together in the end, it a very cute, enjoyable and satisfying way.  
Educated - Tara Westover: ☆☆☆☆ A very gripping story that sort of makes you go through all of the emotions with Tara as she tells you about her life growing up, her crazy family. I could not stop reading. One of the best books of the year.
Too Like the Lightning - Ada Palmer: ☆☆☆☆ Very interesting, complex world, very rich text and very philosophical. There were times where I felt very confused by the story and what was going on, who was who etc. Very hard to get through at times, I kept falling in and out of the story, but the plot and the societies Palmer has created is still very interesting and compelling once you start to grasp what was going on.
The Tropic of Serpents - Marie Brennan: ☆☆☆ I don’t know what it is about this series, but I feel like I always fall for the first half of the story but then I feel like the second half is a bit of a drag and that adoration sort of fizzles away. I do like it well enough though, and just the idea of the story itself. The adventure that the books always promises.
Spinning Silver - Naomi Novik: ☆☆☆ The beginning and the end hooked me in, but the middle part of the book was very hard to get through. I was bored and somehow there were new point of view chapters thrown in there as the story expanded but I could never really differentiate between who was who as each new character and chapter took over the story, which just made it very frustrating to read and made it a lot less enjoyable to read. I got the hand of it eventually, but it hurt the story a lot.
His Dark Materials 1 - Philip Pullman: ☆☆☆☆☆ I just wanted to get into this world again before I read the Book of Dust again, and before the tv show started airing. I adore this book series. I love this world and its characters.
The Book of Dust 1&2 - Philip Pullman: ☆☆☆☆, ☆☆☆ It bums me out to say that I am not enjoying this series as much as His Dark Materials. I rather enjoyed the first one, as we get to know Malcom and his Oxford and his dæmon and I am very into the story right until they start traveling away from Oxford. Then it’s almost like the story loses it’s magic a bit for me. The same things sort of happened with the second one, where I wasn’t as into the story as we move further from Oxford. I feel like there wasn’t a complete story in The Secret Commonwealth, so maybe I will feel different after reading the last book. It has a bit of a second-book-syndrome for me at the moment, but I also found it hard to read through the separation of Lyra and Pan. It's not bad by any means, but I wanted to love it instead of only liking it. 
Wires and Nerve 1&2 - Marissa Meyer: ☆☆☆☆, ☆☆☆ re-read the first one since it had been a while, before diving into the second one. This is very quick read, very cute and entertaining. But nothing really more than that, since I don’t feel like it adds too much to the story of the books and gives me much more of a depth. Which is perfectly OK. It just a cute story, but I enjoyed it.
Let's Talk About Love - Claire Kann: ☆☆☆ I loved reading about an asexual character in a romance book! Give me more asexual characters experiencing romance. A lot of people lump being asexual and being aromantic, which isn’t the case for some of us. I loved the asexual bits, her talking about being asexual. The romance and pretty much everything else was a bit too fluffy for me or felt a bit simple. It was the kind of fluff that I think I would much more enjoy watching than reading. I started skimming the pages at the end.
Renegades - Marissa Meyer: ☆☆☆☆ Rather standard superhero story and I am not sure if it tried a lot of new things when it comes to these types of stories. But that didn’t take my enjoyment of the story away from me at all. The plot was fast paced, always something happening, never really dragged at all and I feel like Marissa Meyer always does a good job creating likeable set of characters within her stories and it is always easy to step into her worlds, although they might not be super complex all the time. But I like being there. I had a hard time putting it down near the end and I am excited for what comes next.  
Nimona - Noelle Stevenson: ☆☆☆ Been eyeing this one for a while now, and wanting to read something short and fun I finally picked it up. A very interesting and fun take on a monster story. Had some good twists and turns.
Hogfather - Terry Pratchett: ☆☆☆ Third Terry Pratchett book I read and the second Discworld book. I feel like I haven’t completely settled into the world of Discworld or gotten completely used to how Terry writes. It’s very witty and cleaver text and very interesting characters, but I often feel like the story jumps around too much and I am not into the footnotes. I don’t really like reading fiction books with this many footnotes.
The Last Wish, Sword of Destiny, Blood of Elves - Andrzej Sapkowski: ☆☆☆, ☆☆☆, ☆☆☆☆ Started of with the short stories, as I read you should do. I like them, but I often have difficulty getting totally into short stories, so some of them were a bit hit or miss for me. The story doesn’t really start for me until Geralt and Ciri find each other and I wish we could have had more of their relationship in Blood of Elves. But regardless I like this world and the characters. I feel like Sapkowski manages to blend the familiar and what we expect from other fantasy stories similar too this one, but also manages to put enough new that you don't get bored by it. Very grim, dark fairytale vibe to it, which I like.
The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller: ☆☆☆  I kind of suspect that I might not be all to interested in retellings of Greek myths and legends. I just don’t seem to get into them that much, even if I like them. This one focuses on the relationship between Patroclus and Achilles and their love for each other, which I found enjoyable. But I am also just so familiar with the rest of the story, I felt like. It never truly grasped my attention.

The 7 best things from the Panthers’ 2017 season
The wild card loss to the Saints was a heartbreaking end to a fun season for Carolina.
The Panthers suffered a heartbreaking exit from the playoffs. They came tantalizingly close against an NFC South rival, fighting their way back from a 21-6 deficit to almost steal the game at the end. But the Saints held them off and ended Carolina’s season with a 24-19 win.
That might overshadow just how fun this Panthers season actually was, but it shouldn’t. They bounced back from one of the most embarrassing Super Bowl hangovers in recent memory in 2016 to go 11-5 in the toughest conference in football this season. And they gave us a lot of enjoyable moments along the way.
Here are the best memories from the 2017 Panthers season.
Cam Newton reminds us he’s almost impossible to stop
Newton has an unparalleled combination of size, speed, and arm strength that makes him one of the hardest quarterbacks in the league to slow down. And after a down year in 2016, Newton was back this season in a big way.
The Dolphins experienced it on this very nice 69-yard run from Newton in the 45-21 beatdown they took from Carolina in Week 10.
Newton can beat defenses with his arm, too. But he’s at his most “just try and stop me” when he’s leaving defenders in the dust with ease.
He’s also cocky as hell, but it usually suits him — like when he talked trash to Clay Matthews in Week 15. Matthews yelled that the Panthers were going to run a wheel route based on the formation. Newton thought that was adorable.
“You’ve been watching film, huh? That’s cool, watch this,” Newton said.
Newton also gave us the best dunk of the 2017 season.
Well, it was the best dunk of the NFL season, anyway. Maybe he can give some pointers to Steph Curry.
Cam out there dunking on people now? I’ll have to ask him what that feeling is like later #iplaybelowtherim
— Stephen Curry (@StephenCurry30) November 5, 2017
Julius Peppers played like he’s still in his 20s
Peppers finished the 2017 season with 11 sacks and two forced fumbles. He had one of each on this goofy play against the Eagles in Week 6.
His sack total ties him with Aaron Donald, his teammate Mario Addison, and Terrell Suggs for 11th in the NFL. Not bad for a guy who’s about to turn 38 later this month.
Peppers isn’t sure if he’ll be back on the field next season.
“I want to have some time to reflect and think about everything,” he said after the wild card loss. “Spend some time with my kids and see where my heart takes me.”
But his 2017 performance tells us he’s still got enough in the tank if he does decide to play next season.
Christian McCaffrey flashed his potential
Carolina grabbed the running back-slash-receiver with the eighth overall pick in 2017. He quietly set a new franchise high for the most receptions ever by a rookie when he finished with 80 for 651 yards and five touchdowns. That’s particularly impressive for a player who’s listed on the roster as a running back.
Face it — not many actual wide receivers can make this one-handed snag look this easy.
His explosiveness made him a big-play threat in the passing game no matter where he lined up.
He wasn’t as effective in the run game. But he did enough to get Panthers fans excited about McCaffrey when he puts it all together.
Luke Kuechly’s presence was felt
Last year, the Panthers missed Kuechly desperately when he was sidelined for six games with a concussion. He’s arguably the best linebacker in the league and you can see why on this play, which saved the Panthers from an upset loss to the New York Jets in Week 12.
The Panthers were trailing the Jets, 20-18, when Josh McCown was sacked by defensive end Wes Horton and fumbled in the process. Kuechly scooped it up and scored, averting a Panthers defeat.
Jonathan Stewart casually hurdled a guy
Jonathan Stewart is 5’10 and 240 pounds. His build is vaguely reminiscent of a bowling ball with legs. He’s about the last guy you’d expect to see jumping straight over a defender. But he did.
The Dolphins’ Cordrea Tankersley is crouching over a little, but he’s mostly upright. And Stewart hurdles him so casually, like this is something he does every day.
Maybe we shouldn’t have been so surprised, because this wasn’t Stewart’s first hurdle. But it doesn’t make it any less impressive to see him flying over a guy who’s three inches taller than Stewart.
Stewart also got his head stuck in Malcom Brown’s butt
OK, this might not have been fun for Stewart. And it actually doesn’t look that fun for Brown. But it is hilarious.
Kudos to both Stewart and Brown, who were a shining example of sportsmanship after this unfortunate, but fun, butt mishap.
BUTT DRAG SWAG
Speaking of butts, 2017 was the Year of the Butt in the NFL. Panthers wide receiver Damiere Byrd contributed to that with this touchdown against the Green Bay Packers in Week 15.
The catch was ruled incomplete, but Ron Rivera wisely challenged. The ruling was overturned on review, because Byrd’s left butt cheek hits in bounds before the rest of his body lands. Now we know that one butt cheek = two feet.
Byrd had the best name for his catch: “butt drag swag.”
The Panthers couldn’t avoid Sunday’s loss to the Saints despite a solid late-game effort. But fans will be able to look back at this season fondly — especially the butt-related parts.

The archer - Tim Drake x reader 3/?
The archer - Tim Drake x reader 3/?
Requested: no
Warnings: swearing, flashback in italic
Taglist: @isthataladybag
Summary: Y/n Queen will be living in the Wayne Manor for a while, and Dick Grayson decided to be the Cupid between her and his little brother Tim Drake.
Word count: 2.918
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6 - Part 7
Tumblr media
Tim trusted Bruce. He trusted Bruce a lot, he was Batman after all, he took care of the city very well and would never let a known threat just live there normally. But Tim was a detective as well, he felt a bit bad for it, but he had to dig a bit on you. 
After finding out you are Oliver's sister and not Roy’s, and that you had been trained by Talia al Ghul, he realized he knows nothing about you or your past. If it was anyone else staying at his house, he would've already found out all of their secrets and everything they had ever done in their life. He couldn't let a silly crush get in the way, or your pretty conquer smile. He felt very bad for snooping around, but he had to do it. It was who he was. 
You were out for the day, you had to take care of a few papers at Gotham University since you would be studying there in a few days. You had invited Tim to accompany you, and he really wanted to, specially since you knew nothing about Gotham and could easily end up going somewhere dangerous (everywhere was a bit dangerous, but still). He told you he had to work on a few papers for Wayne Enterprises and suggested you invited Jason to join you. 
So now, there was Tim. Sitting alone in his room, laptop open, a mug of warm coffee by his side, and he was ready to look you up. He started typing, doing the thing he always does when he needs to dig dirty on people he is tracking for a case - he still felt terrible about doing this behind your back, but he pushed it to the back of his mind, it was just the crush he had on you talking louder than common sense. 
Y/n M/n Queen. Birthday: xx/xx/xxxx. Birth place: Star City.
Moira Queen - mother (deceased) 
Robert Queen - father (deceased)
Oliver Queen - brother
Emiko Queen - half sister
Tim started reading everything he could find about you. Good student with great grades, former cheerleader, socialite knowing for mingling with important people from Star City. Has been saved by the Green Arrow a few times when kidnaped for being a Queen, and then Deathstroke's victim. Footage of you out there being Silver, in the years where you were activated the most, now a days you're hardly ever seen as vigilant. Associated with Thomas Merlyn - mercenary, Malcom Merlyn - mercenary and assassin. Joined the League of Assassins for five months after being held as a prize on a fight between Malcom Merlyn and Oliver Queen, resulting in the loss of Oliver and you being sent to the League. Trained by the whole al Ghul family. Often associated with Roy Harper and Connor Hawke. Teamed up with Red Arrow and Kid Flash before. 
Tim was pleased he didn't find anything bad about you. All of this was ok, even the League of Assassins stuff. He was relived, but now was feeling ever guiltier than before. Should he tell you what he did? Would you be mad?
He closed his laptop, rubbing his eyes. Maybe he was just tired, that's why he did all of this. There was no need for you to know any of this.
"Drake." Damian said, barging into his room, hands behind his back and chin held up high "I think we need to discuss the fact that Queen is a former member of the League of Assassins."
Tim sighted "I already looked it up, she is fine, Damian."
"Then look it up again and harder. You are letting your feelings cloud your judgment."
And with that the little boy left. 
Tumblr media
You were sitting at a cafe with Jason in Gotham Downtown. You had already delivered the missing papers at Gotham University, and now were enjoining an iced coffee with him. He had a hat and sunglasses on, trying to hide his identity, he was supposed to be dead and hasn't made his big debute just yet. 
"So... Dick seems to be trying to be the cupid between you and Tim." he commented, taking a sip of his Frappuccino "What do you think about that?"
You chuckled "I am certainly not opposed to that."
Jason's eyebrows shot up "Really? So you are crushing on my replacement?"
"Stop calling him that, you know he didn't want to replace you." you rolled your eyes, no you didn't know that, but from what you learned about Tim, you could tell that wasn't his intention when he took the mantle of Robin "And yes, I am crushing your brother. Although I have no idea what he wants from me."
The man in front of you rolled his eyes back at you, not like you could see trough the dark lenses covering his eyes. Of course you were crushing on him, if you were already willingly to defend Tim without even knowing everything.
"Dick wouldn't have came up with this idea if he didn't think Tim was interested in you as well. But, I can try and talk to him if you want to. Please, don't."
"Geez, why did you volunteer if you don't want to?"
"Because I am trying to be nice to you."
You shook your head, sipping on your iced caramel macchiato. You only hope that Jason don't rat you out to Roy, you don't want your brother to find out about you having a crush on Bruce's son thought Roy. God knows he didn't know how to keep the gossip to himself. 
"What's the deal with you being trained by the demon's mother?"
Ah there it was, the question you knew would come eventually. You regretted telling them the truth in the first place, but you also knew that if they found out later and on their own it would have been worse. They would probably think you were trying to hide it from them because of bad motives. It wasn't, you just didn't really like to look someone in the eyes and say hey, did you know I was trained by assassins? 
"I already said it isn't..."
"Yes, it is." he cut you off, not buying any of your bullshit "I know you are not the bad guy, if that is why you are afraid of telling me the truth. I just want to know what happened. I know how the league can be... brute."
You bit on your lower lip, staring off into distance.
The air was warmer than you remembered it from a few years ago, maybe it was because you were younger and was only trying to see the best into the situation - it was like a trip, right? 
You looked out of the window, watching the trees' leafs waving with the wind, people walking in a group outside, looking for any inconvenience. You wondered how long it would take for you to be killed if you decided to escape. 
"It is time for your training." Nissa al Ghul informed you, standing at the door of the room you were currently calling yours 
"Again?" you asked, not turning around to face her, you didn't want her to see your blank face "I just finished training with your sister."
Nissa sighted, pushing back the brown hair that was around her shoulders. Her hand left the handle of the sword tucked into her belt. She had promised Oliver that she would do her best to keep his sister out of harm ways, but there was only much she could do. Going against both her father and sister was not a smart idea, and although it wasn't often that she saw eye to eye with them, they were still her family, and Oliver and you were simple... friends? Maybe, that was a complex term. 
"Yes, again. My father is waiting for you and he doesn't like when people keep him waiting."
You nodded your head. There was no point in fighting like you did the first couple of weeks. You knew you were outnumbered, and God knows when your family is coming to rescue you, if they can succeed in doing so.
As you walked around, silent footsteps, no sign of your approach, you saw Ra's al Ghul. Before you could even blink, he had his sword down to your neck, you on your knees as you helplessly stared into his eyes. His angry eyes.
"Never keep your opponent waiting. It gives him the time to explore his surrounds and learn the best path to ambush you the moment you arrive."
You pushed his sword back, not caring that the blade cut into the palm of your hand. You allowed the blood to drip on the floor, pushing yourself off the floor and grabbing your bow and an arrow from the quiver on your back.
Fighting with Ra's made you think that maybe this was going to be your life from now on. Sparring everyday until you had to kill for the first time, then sparring harder until you got sent on a mission, for your first kill. You wondered if maybe you would be stopped by your brother and friends, if you would allow them, or if not, if they'd succeed in stopping you. 
"It was just Malcom's Merlyn fault." you stated, turning your gaze to Jason who was still staring at you "He provoked my brother into a fight, I was the prize. Malcom won and the league finally got a Queen so they could mold into the perfect assassin. Thankfully, Tommy joined Oliver and they both got me out of there."
Jason nodded, it wasn't a full story like he was expecting, but hey! He doesn't like to talk about his time at the league too. Hell, he thinks not even one of his brothers know fully everything that happened there with him. Somethings are better left unsaid, and apparently, for you, this was the case. He was ok with that, that was your story to be told, and if you didn't want to share it, then you didn't have to. 
"Yeah, Roy mentioned a couple of times how much of an asshole Merlyn can be." He said, earning a laugh from you
“He knows how to be a pain in the ass.” You nodded your head in agreement “I thought Bruce had said something about it to you guys.”
Jason shook his head, it was typical Bruce to not share informations with the rest of them. Jason learned from him how to be closed off and not share his feelings, even when Dick would bother him about it.
“No, he didn’t say anything.”
You persued your lips “Oliver asked him for help at the time, you know, because of Bruce’s connections to Talia. He wanted to know the best way to outsmart her. I thought at least one of you knew...”
“Bruce probably thought it was for the best to keep this kind of information away from Damian. He doesn’t like to talk about his time at the league, I don’t like to talk about my time at the league. Dick would’ve found a way to ask us how we feel about it, and Tim... he would’ve found a way to ask us how was our time there, trying to learn more.”
You nodded your head. You couldn’t blame Bruce for not talking, you were actually relieved he didn’t, that way the boys got to know you because they wanted to, and not to prove you weren’t an assassin living in their house. You’ve never even killed anyone before, so... maybe you should’ve started the conversation with Jason by stating that fact, it would’ve been better.
“I never killed anyone.” You addded, voice just above a whisper “I thought you should know that.”
“Well, then I am glad the league didn’t break you enough to start killing.” He smiled at you
Tumblr media
Dick was sitting at the kitchen with his brothers. Damian was going on a rant about you, exclaiming everyone should keep an eye on you, just in case.
Dick grabbed a cookie from the plate, they were still warm, freshed baked. He could understand why his little brother was worried, but Tim looking you up?
“I already talked about it with her today.” Jason sighted, presssing his hand trough his face “She isn’t an assassin, Damian! Let this go!”
“I can’t believe you were digging dirty on her.” Dick said, shaking his head in disappointment “I thought you were crushing on her! Damian said he saw you guys almost kissing yesterday!”
Tim blushed “I just had to make sure she was who I thought she was. We knew nothing about her, now we do. Her parents are both dead, she doesn’t have a criminal record, and she’s never killed anyone before.”
You stopped dead in your tracks, frowning. Did you hear them correctly? Did they look you up just to make sure you weren’t a bad person? Ok, you understand them being wary of you after they found this whole league of assassins thing out, but Tim...? You just couldn’t believe he had the nerve to do this instead of asking you, you would’ve told him anything he wanted to know.
Maybe you were being a fool, trusting him blindly when you shouldn’t. You were being a fool for just starting to fall for this boy who clearly doesn’t trust you enough like you trust him, and clearly his crush on you means nothing.
Frustrated, you went back to your room, closing the door behind you. Right now, you were regretting having agreed to wait for Oliver to come back from his missions to look for an apartment to live in Gotham.
You grabbed your cellphone from the bedside table, clicking on the screen and then holding it up to your ear.
“Hi, I need to talk to you about something.” You said as soon as he picked up
“Hello to you, too.” Connor Hawke said on the other end of the line “Who ate your ice cream?”
You rolled your eyes. Once when you were younger, Roy ate all of the ice cream there was on the fridge and you were pissed for the rest of the day. Now, every time you are on a bad mood, they would ask who ate your ice cream. Very funny.
“Hi, Connor. How are you?” You asked after taking a deep breath, taking your anger out on your best friend wasn’t going to solve your problems
“I’m fine, but you apperently aren’t. So tell me, what did Gotham do to you? Or perhaps what did the Wayne boys did to you?”
You sighted, taking a sit on the bed, Connor knew you too well. He also knew the troubles you went trough growing up as a Queen and as the Green Arrow’s sister. He was always there for you, so he knew a lot how you coped with things and how certain small things had a big impact in your life.
You started by telling him about the sparring session you had with Jason and how it ended up with everyone finding out about you being trained by the league of assassins. And then proceeded to tell him about what you overheard at the kitchen.
“I know that me being part of Team Arrow should make me understand why Tim was researching about me. We have been betrayed by people close to us before, and I really want to be resenoble about this whole situation, but...”
“But you are upset about it. You wish he had came to you to ask you all this questions.” Connor finished up your train of thoughts
“Yes, God yes! I wish he would’ve just came to me, I would’ve told him anything he wanted to know, and damn, I know this makes me sound like a fool.”
“Just a little bit.” Your best friend laughed “I am happy to see you are developing feelings for him, even if I am a bit mad he was suspicious of you. But in our line of work, we should always be too careful.”
You pushed your hair away from your face, staring at the cream walls in front of your. Connor was right, you were overreacting because you were developing feelings Tim and you wanted him to trust you because trust is fundamental in a relationship. You couldn’t help but think that if it was the other way around, you would’ve done the same thing.
“You’re right. Thank you, Conny.”
“I am always right, and please, don’t call me Conny.”
You chuckled, flopping down on bed so you could rest your back on the soft mattress.
“Should I talk to him about it?” You asked quietly
“If it is going to make you feel better than you should approach him with the subject, if not, let him come to you, it will be a proof if it is worth nurtrishing feelings for him.”
After you ended the call, you kept thinking about what Connor had said. He did know how to give good advise, and waiting for Tim to tell you was indeed a good test to know if it was actually worth it to have a crush on him. Maybe you shouldn’t let him know you knew. Let’s see what he’s gonna do.
After all, he wasn’t the only one who came from a family that knew how to keep emotions on check.
